CC doesn't have forces

[edgy hearth]

is there another way for me to get the same effect?

[timber tide]

time to implement your own physics

[rich adder]

pretty much this ^

[edgy hearth]

uh ok lol

ill try and figure it out

[timber tide]

start with gravity, it's the easiest

[edgy hearth]

ill probably be back tho

[rich adder]

or just use the RIgidbody like the tutorial maybe
(dont mix it with cc tho)

[edgy hearth]

ive already been using a CC for everything else, so i dont want to start over

[rich adder]

why exactly do you need impulse force down to crouch/sprint anyway

this can be easily done with CC (crouch/sprint)

[edgy hearth]

i dont want my player capsule to float

[rich adder]

it wont float if you got gravity on it already

[edgy hearth]

oh ok

[rich adder]

and for crouch you shrink collder and move the center up

[edgy hearth]

So will i be fine if i skip that bit?

[rich adder]

should be

[edgy hearth]

also, why do a lot of the people i see use rigid body instead of a CC?

is it cuz of the premade physics?

[rich adder]

pretty much

[timber tide]

physics stuffs not that hard to implement

it's just more convenient to use rigidbodies

oh, rigidbodies do have the benefit of high speed collision detection which is actually somewhat of a pain to implement

[edgy hearth]

hey so i skipped it and it didnt float, but now when i stop pressing the crouch button, i stay in the ground

ope sorry i thought the vid would preview, not make you download

[rich adder]

probably becase you have to shift the center of collider

[polar acorn]

Both the CC and Rigidbody do some things very easily, at the expense of making other things more complicated. Depending on which part is more important to your game, you might pick a different one.

Character controllers make general four directional movement dead simple, but struggle to have fine grained collisions and respond to forces. Rigidbodies do this really easily, but struggle with things like slopes and are quite a bit more fiddly with the code for movement and braking

[rich adder]

here is a good way to do the crouching with CC
https://youtu.be/-XNm7dPVVOQ

[edgy hearth]

thank you kind sir

[eternal needle]

The built in cc is kinda shit, you arent supposed to do 2 moves per frame ever, its grounded check sucks too. I had a custom cc I made, and honestly it was so complicated yet still sucked. Yesterday I decided to scrap the custom cc and used rigidbody velocity, the code is much much simpler and works better.

[rich adder]

Unity standard assets used to come with RB third person controller , I wonder why the new ones they decided to just use CC

[timber tide]

I try to keep a lot of my level flat, and slopes clear of any bumps and it seems to work out well enough, I only use the CC cause I wanted to make a freaking cool blackhole effect and I wanted some of my own fake physics in the calculations

oh that and people tell me that rbs are performance heavy considering I have like 500 enemies

haven't actually profiled that though

[eternal needle]

Maybe it's more of an industry standard

[rich adder]

maybe nvidia added some features only unity knows 🤷‍♂️

i dont mind the CC except for moving platforms

"works right away" and takes less messing about with different drag modes with RB

dealing with RB sliding against walls smoothly (without using cheap physic material no friction) is a pain..somehow...

[eternal needle]

When I tested my custom CC movement, I could easily run 200 enemies at >100 fps (in editor). I was doing a collide and slide approach, which would do multiple capsule casts per enemy per frame. I think 500 should be fine if you optimize

[timber tide]

yeah hoepfully cause atm my cpu is kinda maxed and I've been trying to load more work on the gpu as possible

[eternal needle]

I thought moving platforms are easier on CC

[timber tide]

really should have done ECS but too late now

[frosty hound]

If you're doing a kinematic CC, just get KCC off the asset store and save yourself the headache of handling any of the background stuff so you can focus on pure movement logic.

[rich adder]

good thing its free now 🙂

its very complex to extend though initially

[rich adder]

moving horizontal they are, you just parent it to the platform. Vertically , without bumping is another story 😓

I tried moving platform is kinematic, i tried using Physics.SyncTransforms

twitch city

[queen adder]

oooook so im trying to code a camera shake effect myself and this code is NOT optimal it goes wayyy too fast. any ideas on how to make it slower? i dont know how i coudl make it slower consdiereing update() runs on every frame

[edgy hearth]

ok so i decided to completely redo the movement and camera system in order to use a rigid body, and now when i press play my camera is being teleported away from the player, how could i fix this?

[summer stump]

Use a coroutine

[queen adder]

coroutine huuuhhh

sorry big word

actually i think i know what that is i just dont know how i would establish it in C#

[ivory bobcat]

Replace one with delta time and some scalar.

[queen adder]

is this goood???

[rich adder]

not code question

[queen adder]

you said scalar so i assumed you meant you wanted me to scale deltatime up since it is a decimal i think

[ivory bobcat]

I said replace one not incr

[queen adder]

oh

sorry

OHHHH

OK

I HAVE TO make the cos INCREMENT smaller

[ionic zephyr]

quick question

why do we usually put cameramovement in the lateUpdate

[rich adder]

because too busy not using Cinemachine

just kidding

afaik I think because movement happens in Update/Fixedupdate

and late update comes after those
https://gamedevbeginner.com/how-to-use-late-update-in-unity/

if they try to move on the same frame its choppy

but seriously don't make your own camera follow and use Cinemachine..

[gaunt ice]

You are not understand why we need time.deltatime, not a hard coded number, imagine you have 1000fps now and what will happen to your code

[rocky canyon]

    private void Update()
    {
        mousePos = Input.mousePosition;
        mousePos.z = depthOffset;

        if(MasterPowerSwitch.isOn)
            UpdateMousePositionUI();
        else
        {
            xTxt.text = "00.00";
            xTxt.text = "00.00";
        }
  
        rectTransform.position = cam.ScreenToWorldPoint(mousePos);

        //mouse cursor offset
        rectTransform.anchoredPosition += offset;
    }

    void UpdateMousePositionUI()
    {
        xTxt.text = mousePos.x.ToString();
        yTxt.text = mousePos.y.ToString();
    }```
wonder why there's a trailing `.5` on the Y coord

[weak talon]

    void MoveCamera()
    {
        rotationX += -Input.GetAxis("Mouse Y") * lookSpeed;
        rotationX = Mathf.Clamp(rotationX, -lookXLimit, lookXLimit);
        playerCamera.transform.localRotation = Quaternion.Euler(rotationX, 0, 0);
        transform.rotation *= Quaternion.Euler(0, Input.GetAxis("Mouse X") * lookSpeed, 0);
    }

    public override void OnStartClient()
    {
        base.OnStartClient();
        if (base.IsOwner)
        {
            playerCamera = Camera.main;
            playerCamera.transform.position = new Vector3(transform.position.x, transform.position.y + 0.6f, transform.position.z);
            playerCamera.transform.SetParent(transform);
            Cursor.lockState = CursorLockMode.Locked;
            Cursor.visible = false;
        }
        else
        {
            gameObject.GetComponent<PlayerScript>().enabled = false;
        }
    }

when i play and start a server in unity, when moving around its smooth but when i move my camera it is really glitchy the movement and it is not smooth at all
how do i fix.

[north kiln]

Presumably because the window isn't perfectly aligned to the pixel grid

[rocky canyon]

scaling issue, yup, it was half a pixel off 😄

yea, i never stopped and thought about what mouse position is actually using

some sort of interpolation could work to smooth out the camera.
there's a few differnt ways. you can search camera smoothing on google to find some examples..
then you can multiply the logic with a modifier you can adjust as needed for the amount of smoothing you want.

[ivory bobcat]

That would make it frame dependent. Multiply it by delta time.

[queen adder]

oh ok

sighhh

[rocky gale]

_______ = _______? ______ : _______; What does this format mean and how do you use it

[summer stump]

It is a ternary operator

It is an if statement essentially

X = Y ? A : B

If Y is true, assign A to X
If Y is false, assign B to X

It only works with assignments

[rocky gale]

i see

thx

[gentle moat]

anyone know how to make it so that one animation needs to end befoire playing another in a blend tree?

[north scroll]

Hai, I need some help reading one var from a script to another. In this case, I have a UI display script with the UI game object added and a score text field in the CANVAS gameobject parent. There is a child text on it. The UI display script has a public score text variable where I can add a text item on to it, and I can't add the child to that section of the inspector for some reason. I'm trying to make it so that the UI script modifies the score text based off the score int from the playerMovement script. Im sure there's more efficient ways to do it, but prob more complicated to me atm. THis is my current UI script:

public class userInterfaceScript : MonoBehaviour
{
    public playerMovement moveScript; // Reference to Script A
    public Text scoreText; // Reference to the UI Text component

    // Start is called before the first frame update
    void Start()
    {
        
    }

    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update()
    {
        
    }

    public void UpdateScore()
    {
        Debug.Log("Counted!!!");
        scoreText.text = "Score: " + moveScript.score;
        Debug.Log(moveScript.score);

    }
}

oh and this is where I update the score in the playerMovement script when it collides with the coin:

void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other)
{
    if (other.gameObject.CompareTag("Collectible"))
    {
        //Collectables should play a sound effect when collected. 
        PlaySound(coinCollectSound);

        //The collectables count as the score for the player and disappear when touched by the player. 
        score += 1;
        Debug.Log("MOVE: " + score);
        Destroy(other.gameObject);

        // Call the UpdateScore function in userInterfaceScript to update the UI
        if (uiScript != null)
        {
            uiScript.UpdateScore();
        }
    }
}

if anyone could help, please ping me :D

[gaunt ice]

i would remove the checking of uiScript!=null (unless the ui script will be destroyed?)
then after you increment score in script A and script B read it back.....why dont just pass the score or let the player control over it?

[north scroll]

I will remove that null check.

I thought I was attempting to pass the score through the
public playerMovement moveScript; // Reference to Script A
public userInterfaceScript uiScript; // Reference to Script A
lines. I thought they would allow me to just easily pass a variable around for accessability but I guess I'm not? Can you tell me how to properly pass the score then ? @gaunt ice

[gaunt ice]

if you want accessibility, you can make anything static.....

uiScript.SetScoreText(score);
```pass the score as some ways above

[weak talon]

    void MoveCamera()
    {
        float mouseY = Input.GetAxis("Mouse Y") * Time.deltaTime;
        float mouseX = Input.GetAxis("Mouse X") * Time.deltaTime;

        rotationX += -mouseY * lookSpeed;
        rotationX = Mathf.Clamp(rotationX, -lookXLimit, lookXLimit);
        playerCamera.transform.localRotation = Quaternion.Euler(rotationX, 0, 0);
        transform.rotation *= Quaternion.Euler(0, mouseX * lookSpeed, 0);
    }

    public override void OnStartClient()
    {
        base.OnStartClient();
        if (base.IsOwner)
        {
            playerCamera = Camera.main;
            playerCamera.transform.position = new Vector3(transform.position.x, transform.position.y + 0.6f, transform.position.z);
            playerCamera.transform.SetParent(transform);
            Cursor.lockState = CursorLockMode.Locked;
            Cursor.visible = false;
        }
        else
        {
            gameObject.GetComponent<PlayerScript>().enabled = false;
        }
    }

when i play and start a server in unity, when moving around its smooth but when i move my camera it is really glitchy the movement and it is not smooth at all
how do i fix.

[eternal needle]

you should just use cinemachine. its also hard to suggest much since this looks to be multiplayer and also we dont see when MoveCamera is called.

[north scroll]

could u just explain it a little more. Im having errors when trying to put that under my playerMovement script and Im not fully understanding what u mean, especially the "pass the score ... "

[wintry quarry]

you're not supposed to multiply Time.deltaTime into your mouse input

That will cause jitter

[weak talon]

it still does it even with time.deltaTime out

[weak talon]

ill try using cinemachine

[gaunt ice]

let uiScript directly access some variable is not a good idea (you can change player score in ui script), instead lets player tell ui script when its score is changed

[wintry quarry]

did you compensate your sensitivity down?

[weak talon]

yes, even at like 0.1 sens it still makes it jittery

[wintry quarry]

are you moving via Rigidbody?

[weak talon]

yeah im using rb.addforce

[wintry quarry]

then you should be rotating the Rigidbody not the Transform

instead of transform.rotation *= Quaternion.Euler(0, mouseX * lookSpeed, 0);
it should be rb.rotation *= Quaternion.Euler(0, mouseX * lookSpeed, 0);

[weak talon]

iull try that now

[north scroll]

ok so usually its best practice for a script to not have direct access to another variable from an outside script? My UI Script isn't really that big atm, its literally just that updateScore() function. Should I just allow the player to have access to UI functionality and change the score text from the playerMovement Script itself rather than having its own seperate script for UI ?

I was also thinking of adding a timer tho

[weak talon]

its very small but i think that just made it so then it is always jittery
and the mouse feelsa little delayed

[gaunt ice]

usually an individual ui script is needed to handle some common ui elements like main screen or pause screen or settings, but the score text is tightly related to player to i think it is better to give control to player.

[wintry quarry]

did you turn on interpolation on your Rigidbody?

[weak talon]

yeah
its really weird like i can move my mouse without being laggy but when i start moving AND i move my mouse it gets laggy

[wintry quarry]

how are you moving

AddForce you said?
Can you show how the code is currently?

[weak talon]

if (grounded)
        {
            rb.AddForce(moveDirection.normalized * moveSpeed * 10, ForceMode.Force);
        }

sorry did you mean the camera code or the movement. above is the movement on ground
its very small so it doesnt matter too much. but it is noticable, all my friends noticed it
you know what its fine, now that i think about it. it isnt worth all this struggle just to fix it. later if it really is bad then i can try to fix it again
soorry if i wasted your time

[north scroll]

ok so I deleted everything and currently in my player script I have

using UnityEngine.UI;
public Text scoreText;
scoreText.text = "Score: " + score;

I am adding the Canvas' child (Score), into the player's public Text scoreText in the inspector, but Unity won't let me.

The game itself runs but then I get this error :

NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object
playerMovement.OnTriggerEnter (UnityEngine.Collider other) (at Assets/Scripts/playerMovement.cs:102)

This error ****

[gaunt ice]

what is line 102.....

[north scroll]

scoreText.text = "Score: " + score;

and the error comes up when I collide with the coins

[gaunt ice]

sorceText is null, you need to assign it in inspector
but idk why the error is not unassigned reference

[north scroll]

I know, what I am saying is Unity doesn't allow me to drag the Score text child object from the Canvas parent into the player's inspector where it hold that

[gaunt ice]

is it textmeshpro not text?

[north scroll]

oh I think ur right

so TextMeshPro ?

and do I change the using unity.ui to text mesh pro or is that the same thing ?

[gaunt ice]

yes

textmeshprougui, btw your ide will remind you

[grizzled kite]

I'm having an issue with a script, would someone be willing to help me troubleshoot?

[summer stump]

https://dontasktoask.com/

Just post it. We'll try 😸

[north scroll]

@gaunt ice tysm!

[grizzled kite]

oop, So I'm using the documented gameobject recoreder script to record animation in runtime, but I'm using to record a rigs animation that is being controlled by an IK system. it is only recordering the main object none of the armature

I had it as humanoid and ik that was some issue, so I was able to get the IK working fine with it in generic, but still to no avail

[summer stump]

Probably best for #🏃┃animation as this is not really a code question. But maybe the rig doesn't have all the bones required to be Humanoid?

[loud mauve]

Okay, so learning Unity
And for educational purposes I'm making my own first person player controller.
Working on the movement and I'm having issues with the diagonal movement.
I see a common problem is diagonal movement being faster due to not normalizing, but my issue is that 2 of the 4 diagonal movements don't move at all, the player just stops.

private void Move()
{
    float x = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal");
    float z = Input.GetAxis("Vertical");

    Vector3 inputVector = new Vector3(x, 0f, z).normalized;
    player.transform.Translate(inputVector * currentSpeed * Time.deltaTime);
    Debug.Log(inputVector * currentSpeed * Time.deltaTime);
}```

Assuming it's due to the -x and positive z (or vice versa) fighting each other, but am unsure how to get around it.
It's probably something simple that I'm overlooking / over thinking.
W/D works, S/A works, but W/A and S/D just stop dead

[grizzled kite]

It is easily made humanoid, the script is just not recording the armature, It gave me an error when it was humanoid so I made it generic. but now it still doesnt record the armeture even though there is no more error.
so I'm assuming its not recording it bc of the IK actively moving the armaeture but, that kinda defeats the whole point of a gameobject recorder so im unsure of how to work around that

[summer stump]

Yeah, I dunno
#🏃┃animation

[grizzled kite]

oki, I'll give that a try ty

[static cedar]

I'm guessing you have no idea what Sin is.

[queen adder]

other way around

i had no idea what deltatime was

[static cedar]

[queen adder]

i read up and its interval of how long a frame took to get to the next frame

[north kiln]

What's "currentSpeed"?
I have no idea why it would do what you're saying, it doesn't make sense. But you should write inputVector * (currentSpeed * Time.deltaTime) so you save a few multiplications

[static cedar]

Last frame to current frame actually.
You can't predict when the next frame happens.

[queen adder]

yeah thats what i said

[loud mauve]

currentSpeed is just a float setting the speed
separated it out from baseSpeed to modify speed based for sprint/crouch movement

[north kiln]

There's no reason why it would do what you're saying. Check the individual values of x and z when you're holding those keys and see what they say

[loud mauve]

-1,1 and 1,-1
x and z values of 1,1 and -1,-1 work fine

[north kiln]

and presumably inputVector is the same

[loud mauve]

Yep, although sometimes it doesn't quite hit 1 or -1, it'll stop at a like 0.998 or something

[north kiln]

Well, then it sounds like you would be translating by that amount (scaled), so there's no reason why you wouldn't travel in that direction

unless you're setting currentSpeed in a weird way that contradicts with the diagonal movement

[loud mauve]

currentSpeed is always at least 2.5f
currentSpeed = baseSpeed *2 while sprinting
currentSpeed = basespeed /2 while crouched
assigned back to baseSpeed (which is 5f) whenever I exit one of those conditions.
Tracking those variables, I don't see any unintended values

Wondering if I should switch to using velocity off a rigidbody

[slender sinew]

well, if it's for educational purposes, I don't think you should switch. I think you should figure out the current issue. Maybe try sending more of your code, because (as has already been mentioned) this code by itself wouldn't cause issues with diagonal movements

[loud mauve]

Thanks

[rich adder]

are you mixing rigidbody with translation?

[loud mauve]

I just noticed this myself, probably going to drop the rigidbody for the jump

[rich adder]

I would drop the translation and keep the rigidbody

if you want accurate collisions its easier to use colliders than making your own casts

[loud mauve]

Then I'm back to using velocity for the movement, correct?

[rich adder]

if you don't want velocity you can always make it kinematic

with that you might still need to check walls so you don't go through them

[loud mauve]

Honestly I'm impartial, I'm mostly just confused as to why it's happening to begin with.
I'm not opposed to using a different approach

[rich adder]

are you sure the rigidbody wasn't drifting your player or something?

btw this is reduant doing if statements for these bools

if(Physics.Raycast(checkGround, out hit, rayLength))
        {
            isGrounded = true;
        } else
        {
            isGrounded = false;
        }```
can just be `isGrounded = Physics.Raycast(checkGround, out hit, rayLength)`

[loud mauve]

Fairly certain
Only happens when the translate is being fed -x, z or x, -z regardless of position within the world, rotation or terrain/objects around it

and agreed, was just writing it as simply as possible for my brain, was going to go back and clean up once it was working

[rich adder]

normal move or crouch ?

[loud mauve]

both, sprint as well
even mid air, if I input W/A or S/D the player just stops completely

[rich adder]

wdym mid-air? thought you had no rigidbody lol

[rich adder]

what is the shape of your collider ?

[loud mauve]

Had a rigidbody that was was being used by Jump(), tried removing it and even the collider, still the same behaviour
Was using a capsule collider

[rich adder]

I know exactly why you're having your issue

idk how I did not see this before lol

doh

Get rid of this
if (Input.GetAxis("Horizontal") + Input.GetAxis("Vertical") != 0)

pretty sure that will fix it

[loud mauve]

An audible faceplam was had, that was the issue

-1 x and 1 z sums to 0...

[rich adder]

I would clean this up btw

private Vector2 move;
    void Update()
    {
        move.x = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal");
        move.y = Input.GetAxis("Vertical");```

then if you want you can do move.normalized

[loud mauve]

Agreed, still plan to go back and tidy everything up
Thanks for the help though, I chased that for far longer than I care to admit

[rich adder]

oh wait you want z movement

but yeah def put it in a vector2

[loud mauve]

yeah, I got what you meant

[rich adder]

so you can do if (move != Vector2.zero))

[loud mauve]

That's much cleaner but for the time being I just slapped an OR in there

if (Input.GetAxis("Horizontal") !=0 || Input.GetAxis("Vertical") != 0)

[rich adder]

so verbose

[prime horizon]

Guys, I need some help.
I'm learning to do the dialogue system with Ink integration based on this video https://youtu.be/vY0Sk93YUhA?si=9k7oH6wimO36MwDT

Then I realized I couldn't use the mouse to click on any button on the screen.
I even tried to make a new project and used his GitHub repo (I took the branch number 2) to test if my script was wrong and I still can't click the choice button provided on the choice button. I also used Unity new input system

[wheat fog]

Anyone know why my game is lagging? I know it's because of the player rotation feature I've added. But I cant seem to figure out why. Here is my script:

        float angle = Mathf.Atan2(direction.x, direction.y) * Mathf.Rad2Deg;
        Quaternion rotation = Quaternion.AngleAxis(-1 * angle - 90, Vector3.forward);
        m_transform.rotation = rotation;```

I know the transform.rotation is the reason why, but I can't figure out an alternative or work around

[teal viper]

Rotate the rb by setting angular velocity/adding torque or using MoveRotation (not sure if there is one in 2d).

[rich adder]

do you have at event system in your hirerchy

[prime horizon]

Yes I have

[rich adder]

are you using the mouse because from the video seems they are just using keyboard

[prime horizon]

The video use KB only. My project can use KB just like the video but I also want to use mouse too

[rich adder]

oh , so is your mouse made visible and not locked?

[wheat fog]

do you happen to have an example of this?

[teal viper]

You can have a look at the documentation. They usually have examples.

Here's an example, for example:
https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Rigidbody2D.MoveRotation.html

[wheat fog]

but rotating the rb doesn't rotate the sprite itself, correct?

[teal viper]

Why not?

If your sprite is on the same object or parented to it, it will rotate as any other object.

[prime horizon]

This is my video. I haven't done anything to the mouse yet.

[meager gust]

does this happen when you comment out the rotation code? I don't see why that would be an issue

[wheat fog]

correct

[meager gust]

this problem is commonly caused by running stuff in fixedupdate without proper frame interpolation

[wheat fog]

its running in Update()

not sure if there is a difference tho

[meager gust]

there is, but it's still an odd problem

[wheat fog]

from my understanding is has to with rigidbodies

the weapon child rotates as well to face the mouse, before I decided to change it to the player

and it doesn't have a rigidbody attached to it

whereas the player does

[teal viper]

Using transform rotation breaks the interpolation

[wheat fog]

im surpised no one else has run into this problem before

or if they have i cant find any solutions

[teal viper]

Many people do. It's quite common.

Some just think that it's supposed to be like that and never think it's an issue.

[meager gust]

I don't do 2D, but you could try

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Rigidbody2D.MoveRotation.html

I just don't see how setting the rotation would break the position's interpolation

since that's where the actual lag is coming from

[rich adder]

oh ok and those are buttons ?

[wheat fog]

Im not really following how to implement MoveRotation

would it be like this: rb.MoveRotation(rotation);

[meager gust]

you use your angle variable

not the quaternion variable

[wheat fog]

I did, and i dont think it did anything

should it be in radians?

[meager gust]

degrees

[prime horizon]

Yup, all those 2 are buttons

[wheat fog]

that's what it's in, but when I call it. WIthout the transform.rotation, it doesn't rotate at all.

It may help a little, but the lag is definetly still noticeable

[meager gust]

so you're saying the lag still happens even without rotation code?

[wheat fog]

No, when I remove the transform.rotation it's fixed

I can't debug log it because its a void method

[rich adder]

might be something to do with possiblity overriding that SelectedObject in event system but was only able to glance quickly

[prime horizon]

So you think the SeletecObject in the event system is the wrong here right?

[wheat fog]

Oh, MoveRotation should be used for Kinematic, not dynamic. Might be why its not working

[meager gust]

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Rigidbody2D.AddTorque.html

This is how you generally rotate something "inline" with the physics engine

but it's a pretty ugly approach if you want a snappy rotation

again, I know nothing about 2d, so it's hard for me to understand why setting the rotation is breaking position interpolation

[wheat fog]

Do you have tons of dynamic (non-kinematic) rigidbodies in your scene that are getting moved when these objects rotate? The profiler results are telling you that whatever you're doing is very expensive from a physics standpoint. But it might indicate it's because you're not taking your rigidbodies into account. Generally, moving rigidbodies means timing the movement with the physics timestep, and using the rigidbody-specific movement methods. So, instead of transform.Rotate, you'd usually want Rigidbody.MoveRotation.

I found this forums post on it

[meager gust]

I mean yeah, you could check the frame rate

if it's 60+ then it's not really the issue

your game doesn't really look that demanding

[wheat fog]

It shouldn't be

Thats why Im so confused too

[meager gust]

post all of your movement code

worst case, you could probably just have an invisible rigidbody underneath, and your graphics sprite on top

actually that probably still wouldn't work

[wheat fog]

if (canControl) {

        float controlx = Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal");
        float controly = Input.GetAxisRaw("Vertical");

        direction = new Vector2(controlx, controly);
        keypressed = controlx != 0 || controly != 0;
        direction = direction.normalized;

        if (keypressed) {
            saved_direction = direction;
        }

rb.velocity *= Mathf.Pow(1f - damper, Time.deltaTime * 10f);
rb.velocity += direction * speed * Time.deltaTime;

    base.Update();

I think thats everything, I didnt write so Im not entirely sure.

[teal viper]

It works the same as in 3d. Rotating the object with transform would break interpolation in both cases.

[meager gust]

afaik that doesn't happen in 3D

so long as you're not modifying the position

[teal viper]

It does from my experience.

[meager gust]

you're probably right. I use a custom interpolator

[teal viper]

And many people had it as the cause of jittering so far. Changing the rotation method fixed it for them. They can't all be lying can they?😬

[meager gust]

nah you're right

been a while since I touched that project

[wheat fog]

its the same in 2d

[teal viper]

You can still use angular velocity or torque.

[meager gust]

If you don't like that answer ^ I can help you build a custom interpolator

which will solve the problem for good

both solutions are janky

[wheat fog]

Im a little loss on how tod ot aht

[wheat fog]

Probably not haha, I imagine it would take time I don't have. The projects due in about a month, thanks for the offer though

Infact, I'm getting beta out tmmrw or monday D:

[meager gust]

you'll basically need to write some logic that spins the object using AddTorque until it's reached the desired angle

easier said than done

I would probably calculate the error = current_angle - desired_angle

and factor that into the rotation speed / direction

realistically it's probably gonna oscillate back and forth a minimal amount when it's reached the desired rotation

[teal viper]

Check the documentation as I suggested before

There's not gonna be any error if you set the angular velocity manually.

Might need to clamp it when approaching the target angle to not overshoot, but it's not very complicated.

[meager gust]

yeah, that's probably the best solution

[wheat fog]

public void AddTorqueImpulse(float angularChangeInDegrees)
{
var body = GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>();
var impulse = (angularChangeInDegrees * Mathf.Deg2Rad) * body.inertia;

    body.AddTorque(impulse, ForceMode2D.Impulse);
}

}

is the angular Change in Degrees the same as my angle?

[meager gust]

disregard what I said about addTorque. Use dlich's solution with setting the angular velocity directly

you'll get finer tuned control over the rotation

[wheat fog]

is there documenation for this?

[meager gust]

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Rigidbody2D-angularVelocity.html

Angular velocity in degrees per second.

This line is important in figuring out the equation

the physics engine ticks in fractional seconds

fixedupdate also ticks inline with the physics engine btw

For instance, if my physics engine ticks at 30hz (30 times per second), and my angular velocity is 30 (rotating 30 degrees per second) then it's rotating 1 degree every fixed update (30 / 30 = 1)

[verbal cloud]

hey guys! im making a fishing game and i'd like the fish size (in arbitrary inches), the fish size (in unity units), and the fish sell price to all be randomized but scale with each other. so ideally i'd have a three ranges of twos and then randomize one of them and then scale the other two off of that. does anyone know how i could achieve this? thanks all :D

[wheat fog]

so this should ideally be set in fixed update

[meager gust]

yes

[wheat fog]

Then, i change the speed of the angular velocity until i reach my desired point and set it to 0?

[meager gust]

you should come up with a formula that does this for you

but yes

[gaunt ice]

why one fish can have two size?
shouldnt there is a inch to Unity unit conversion

[wheat fog]

the default angular velocity is 7, so i could turn it up really high, then multiply it by a time to get my almost instatneous change?

[verbal cloud]

maybe, but for my use case i feel like itd be easier for the actual size of the fish and the stated "inch" size to not have be direct conversions of each other. maybe in the future, im still in early prototyping

trying to block things out

[meager gust]

float angleDifference = desiredAngle - currentAngle;

my brain doesn't work so good at 11pm, but that should be somewhere in your formula

the angularVelocity is just how much the physics engine is rotating your object every physics tick

[gaunt ice]

i get what you mean now, since if the actual size of fish is small player cant see the fish in world?
actual size and price should be related, but you can clamp the magnitude when convert actual size to world size (at least make it looks consistence)

[meager gust]

like dlich said, you probably want to clamp the values so it doesn't teleport instantly to the new angle

[wheat fog]

How do you start this rotation, like it's not a constant rotation so how do you turn it on?

[meager gust]

if your character is not moving at all, then the angular velocity is 0

just go ahead and comment out your old rotation code, while we start off with this

[wheat fog]

I pretty much have already haha

[meager gust]

just so you can get a general idea, set the angularVelocity to a constant value, like 0.1 every fixedupdate

[verbal cloud]

cool, will try

[meager gust]

and run the game, and just see what it does

your guy should be spinning

if your physics update rate is 30hz, then realistically he's rotating 0.00333333333 degrees every physics update

[wheat fog]

rb.angularVelocity = 1;

like this right?

[meager gust]

sure, that works

do you see the result?

[wheat fog]

no, he doesn't seem to be moving

[meager gust]

do it in fixedupdate

[wheat fog]

private Rigidbody2D rb;

it is in

fixed update

[meager gust]

in the rigidbody2d in your editor, crank the angularDrag down to 0

if that doesn't work, debug.log your rb variable and make sure it's set

[wheat fog]

the debug log returns object

[meager gust]

post all of the code

[meager gust]

        rb.angularVelocity = 1000;
        debug.log(rb.angularVelocity);
    }```

tell me what that outputs

you can remove the other debug

[wheat fog]

it returns 0

[meager gust]

thats pretty strange

[wheat fog]

I had freeze z rotation set to 0;

or checked

[meager gust]

alright

you see your guy spinning?

[wheat fog]

okay now it rotates

[meager gust]

great

you'll have to do some trial and error, but just start off by getting
float angleDifference = currentAngle - desiredAngle;

and set that as your angularVelocity

every fixedupdate

[wheat fog]

so would it eventually hit 0 then and stop moxing

[meager gust]

that's the goal

[wheat fog]

when the current angle and desired angle are the same/

[meager gust]

you might have to do angleDifference * time.fixedDeltaTime

or something

since we want it happening in 1 step

[wheat fog]

yea, atm I have it so it rotates

I just need it to get to stop when it reaches that position

[meager gust]

that should automatically be happening with the code I supplied

is it not?

[teal viper]

No, a body set in motion will remain in motion unless other forces are applied to it.

I think Newton figured it out?

[meager gust]

we're updating the angularVelocity every physics tick though

[teal viper]

Updating to 1000 according to the last code snippet

[meager gust]

I gave him updated code

float angleDifference = currentAngle - desiredAngle;
angularVelocity = angleDifference * time.fixedDeltaTime;

[teal viper]

Oh, with the desired angle?

[meager gust]

yes

[teal viper]

I think they should share their current code properly

my keyboard doesnt let me type that symbol

[meager gust]

its below the escape key

top left

[wheat fog]

im on a 60%

[meager gust]

you did it earlier

[wheat fog]

i copy and pasted it then

[meager gust]

ah

[wheat fog]

okay i got it

Vector2 direction = Camera.main.ScreenToWorldPoint(Input.mousePosition);

        Vector2 finaldir = direction - rb.position;
        float angle = Mathf.Atan2(finaldir.x, finaldir.y) * Mathf.Rad2Deg;
        Debug.Log(Time.fixedDeltaTime);
        rb.angularVelocity = angle * Time.fixedDeltaTime;```

the time*fixed delta time makes it rotate veryslowly

[meager gust]

you aren't factoring in the current angle

we need that for the difference

[wheat fog]

I thought i was doing that in finaldir?

[meager gust]

nope, that just gets the direction for desiredAngle

your
float angle = Mathf.Atan2(finaldir.x, finaldir.y) * Mathf.Rad2Deg;
should be
float desiredAngle = Mathf.Atan2(finaldir.x, finaldir.y) * Mathf.Rad2Deg;

then currentAngle is the angle that the body itself is currently pointing (in degrees)

[wheat fog]

I understand

[meager gust]

post updated code if you need help

[wheat fog]

am i dumb? doesnt rb.velocity return the direction of the rb

[meager gust]

Rigidbody2D.rotation

[wheat fog]

rb.angularVelocity = desiredangle - rb.rotation;

wouldnt it look something like this?

it doesnt quite work tho

[meager gust]

rb.angularVelocity = (desiredangle - rb.rotation) * time.deltaTime;

try that

[wheat fog]

i just added that lol

gimme asec its compling

that make its run really slowly

makes sense tho cuz my fixeddelta time is .2

[meager gust]

does it work though?

[wheat fog]

no

well

it would take me 5 minutes to see if it would

[meager gust]

hang on, gears are turning in my brain

post your full fixedupdate

[wheat fog]

        Vector2 finaldir = direction - rb.position;
        float desiredangle = Mathf.Atan2(finaldir.x, finaldir.y) * Mathf.Rad2Deg;
    
        rb.angularVelocity = (desiredangle - rb.rotation) * Time.fixedDeltaTime;```

when i devide by fixed delta time its instant

[meager gust]

yeah, that might be it

let me verify one sec

[wheat fog]

it faces the right way for my y values

but my xs are flipped

[meager gust]

Atan2 is (y, x)

not (x, y)

[wheat fog]

It works!

I just multiplied by the x value by -1

Ill probably just leave it at that

just has to do w my sprite orientation probably

[meager gust]

yeah, division is right for the equation. you're set

[meager gust]

dunno, you'll have to figure that part out

[wheat fog]

thanks for all the help bro i really appreciat eit

Right so when im in edit mode and click run the camera rotates on the x axis as i want but it doesnt move when im viewing through the game tab

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

public class MouseLook : MonoBehaviour
{

    public float mouseSensitivity;
    private float xRotation = 0;
    public Transform playerBody;
    // Start is called before the first frame update
    void Start()
    {
        Cursor.lockState = CursorLockMode.Locked;
    }

    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update()
    {
        float mouseX = Input.GetAxis("Mouse X") * mouseSensitivity;
        float mouseY = Input.GetAxis("Mouse Y") * mouseSensitivity;

        xRotation -= mouseY;
        xRotation = Mathf.Clamp(xRotation, -90, 90f);
        Debug.Log(xRotation);
        transform.localRotation = Quaternion.Euler(xRotation, 0f, 0f);
        playerBody.Rotate(Vector3.up * mouseX);
    }
}

anything visibly wrong with that?

oh...

Theres a camera in my body and i cant access ut

[woeful hedge]

public class ScareCrowReveal : MonoBehaviour
{
    // Start is called before the first frame 
    public float RevealTime;
    public float delay;
    void Awake()
    {
        Debug.Log("Hi");
        Color colora = gameObject.GetComponent<SpriteRenderer>().color;
        colora.a = 0;
        StartCoroutine(Reveal(RevealTime, delay));
    }

    IEnumerator Reveal(float time, float delay)
    {
        Color color = gameObject.GetComponent<SpriteRenderer>().color;
        float deltaTime = 0;
        yield return new WaitForSecondsRealtime(time);
        Debug.Log("alpha");
        while (deltaTime < delay)
        {
            Debug.Log(color.a);
            deltaTime += Time.deltaTime;
            color.a = deltaTime / delay;
            yield return new WaitForFixedUpdate();
        }

        color.a = 0;
    }
}

So I just made Coroutine which changes color alpha but It dosent works well
Debug.log(color.a) printed well but the actual value uis still not changing since Awake().
what should I do to solve this?

[languid spire]

you need to set the changed colour back to the renderer. Color is a struct which is a value type

[woeful hedge]

the GameObject's actual color alpha is always 1 as default although I made them 0 on Awake

[woeful hedge]

I made same code before and It worked well without returning the colors

[languid spire]

doubt

this

Color color = gameObject.GetComponent<SpriteRenderer>().color;

makes a copy so any changes to color will not affect the original

[woeful hedge]

hmm youre right but one question

    IEnumerator FireShakeEvent(GameObject RailGunTrail, GameObject RailGunCircle, List<GameObject> Effects, float count)
    {
        GameObject EF1 = Instantiate(Effects[0]);
        GameObject EF2 = Instantiate(Effects[1]);
                ....



        RailGunTrail.SetActive(true);
        RailGunCircle.SetActive(true);

        Color colorRG = RailGunTrail.GetComponent<SpriteRenderer>().color;
        Color colorCircle = RailGunCircle.GetComponent<SpriteRenderer>().color;

        int x = 1;

        Vector3 railgunScale1 = RailGunTrail.transform.localScale;
        Vector3 railgunScale2 = RailGunCircle.transform.localScale;


        while (x < count + 1)
        {
            //Debug.Log(color);
            // color.a = UnityEngine.Random.Range(0f, 1f);
            // obj.GetComponent<SpriteRenderer>().color = color;
            colorRG.a = x * 0.1f;
            colorCircle.a = x * 0.1f;

            railgunScale1.x += (float)Math.Sqrt(x) * 0.00075f;
            railgunScale2.x += (float)Math.Sqrt(x) * 0.00126f;

            RailGunTrail.transform.localScale = railgunScale1;
            RailGunCircle.transform.localScale = railgunScale2;

            x++;
            yield return new WaitForSecondsRealtime(Time.deltaTime * 0.25f);

        }

        colorRG.a = 1;
        colorCircle.a = 1;

        RailGunTrail.GetComponent<SpriteRenderer>().color = colorRG;
        RailGunCircle.GetComponent<SpriteRenderer>().color = colorCircle;

    }

then why this code works well?
I assigned them at end of coroutine but its alpha changes slowly

[languid spire]

it doesn't work 'well'

RailGunTrail.GetComponent<SpriteRenderer>().color = colorRG;
        RailGunCircle.GetComponent<SpriteRenderer>().color = colorCircle;

need to be inside the while as well

it may be that you are starting many instances of your coroutine

Hey everyone, so I'm making a game in Unity. I want to add a sprite to my 3D scene, but when I right click > 2D Object in the scene panel, the only option available to me is Pixel Perfect Camera (URP)

How do I get Unity to give the option to add a sprite like in this tutorial screenshot?

[wintry quarry]

Install the 2D packages from the package manager

[deep bear]

Okay cool I think I just did that. It's this one, right?

Are there any other packages that are generally useful to have in Unity?

What is the absolute most simple braindead way to get data from one scene to another. i dont care wether its clean or pretty

[languid spire]

static class

[timber tide]

lol

[slender nymph]

Store that data on a DDOL object, store it on a ScriptableObject referenced from both scenes, serialize it and write to disk then read it in the other scene, store it in a static variable. there are many ways to accomplish that

[spare sparrow]

if i aleady have a class that isnt static that i gotta use?

[languid spire]

reference it in a static class

[patent compass]

Hello. How can i apply force in opposite direction of a body. like add force but in opposite direction from the collision direction

[slender nymph]

depends on your actual goal, you could just get the normal from the first contact point and apply force in that direction. or you could get the velocity of the rigidbody and add force in the opposite direction of the velocity

[amber spruce]

so i have a npc and when a player gets close i want smth to happen how to i check for when they get close

[slender nymph]

you could have a trigger collider and use OnTriggerEnter to determine when the player gets near, or you could use a physics query like a CheckBox or OverlapSphere or something. the query would give you a bit more control for when you want to check
i would personally use the physics query

[tropic shuttle]

Thanks, but now the sound doesn't play at all. What do I do?

[slender nymph]

did you read past the first bit of my message?

[tropic shuttle]

I don't know what messages I'm supposed to have, and I don't accurately understand the meaning on the site. The translator is not very accurate

I had a bug with two audio listeners, I solved it but still no sound

[slender nymph]

you need to go through the steps in https://unity.huh.how/physics-messages to figure out why your OnCollisionEnter may not be working

[tropic shuttle]

okay

[amber spruce]

do you have a video or smth on the physics query

[slender nymph]

no, you can read the docs or find a video yourself though

[tropic shuttle]

Can a single object be subject to OnTriggerEnter and OnCollisionEnter?

[slender nymph]

yes provided that object has a non-trigger collider. OnCollisionEnter will not happen for trigger colliders but OnTriggerEnter can be called on a non-trigger because that collider could enter a trigger

#💻┃unity-talk message

also don't crosspost

[spare sparrow]

im trying to use UnityEngine.InputSystem in one of my tests. ive installed the package and added it to my assembly definition. but its still not being recognized in my test. What coul be th reason?

[tropic shuttle]

I don't understand what I need to do to get the OnCollisionEnter message sent and OnTriggenEnter working

[slender nymph]

if you would go through the steps in the page i linked you would see that two kinematic rigidbodies colliding do not produce an OnCollisionEnter message

[tropic shuttle]

These are not kinematic bodies, there is a tick on Is Trigger in the screenshot. But it won't work without it. You yourself said that OnCollisionEnter and OnTriggerEnter can be together, but I've tried everything already

[tropic shuttle]

I am a newbie and may not understand the meaning of the word "Kinematic Object" if so, I apologise

[frosty hound]

You also shouldn't be putting rigidbodies on environment objects that aren't moving, such as the floor/wall.

[tropic shuttle]

Without that tick, like I said, nothing works anyway

[rare basin]

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Collider.OnTriggerEnter.html

[slender nymph]

also one of these is a trigger so OnCollisionEnter will not be called. only OnTriggerEnter will be called with this pair of colliders

and you're not bothering to show what your code even looks like so 🤷‍♂️

[tropic shuttle]

I showed you the code above, here it is

Fall - Sound

Trigger lamp - Trigger

You know what I mean.

[slender nymph]

well for one !code
and two, did you not bother following literally the first instruction on the page i had linked that said to use breakpoints or logs to determine if that code is even being called?

i feel like i'm giving instructions to a brick wall so i'm not going to try helping any further. maybe someone else will have the patience to do so 🤷‍♂️

Ok, thanks for trying to help, sorry for being obtuse, but that's what I am, a newbie

[rare basin]

Looks like you cannot get helped

If you dont understand the help

You should learn the very basics first in order to understand the provided help

I have linked you the OnTriggerEnter docs, did you read it?

there are conditions that must be met in order to call this function

[tropic shuttle]

OnTriggerEnter works for me. Yeah, I read it. Hold on, I'm going to try one thing now, in case it works

To reproduce OnCollisionEnter both objects must be non-triggered without Rigidbody?

[frosty hound]

To have a collision, one object must have a rigibody. Both must have a collider.

Hi everyone, new user of the discord community. I've been struggling for a couple of days on this bug and I can't figure out what's causing it. I implemented a grid-based movement for a pokemon clone. The movement works, I was also able to add collisions and animations. But after some time I realized something was off. I removed animations and tilemap rendering and saw that the player lags from time to time when moving. It's very subtle but I'm providing a clip showing the bug (hopefully you can see it).

I'm adding the link to the code here:
https://gdl.space/qibayihaca.cs

[tropic shuttle]

Dude, do you think maybe I should change OnCollisionEnter to OnTriggerEnter? And when the lamp makes contact with the floor, it will make a sound.

[ivory bobcat]

Is this related to code

[tropic shuttle]

That's how it works, isn't it?

I'm not sure, I've followed three different videos and I can't fix the problem. You think it is not and I should change channel? Sorry not used to the all channel things

[fossil sable]

Oh I tried using the inline method and hit the character mark so I thought I could upload it as txt file as recommended by Discord. Shall I delete and reupload as a link using one of the website?

[ivory bobcat]

Some people will not get the embedded text and won't bother to download the text file.

[fossil sable]

Okay I reuploaded it, thanks for showing me how

[frosty hound]

You may want to try using the pixel perfect camera package to ensure your art doesn't sit between pixels.

Also, just a note that setting the scale value of your game view isn't making things bigger. Keep it to the left, and scale the size property of your orthographic camera instead.

[fossil sable]

Okay I'll try looking into the pixel perfect camera

[fossil sable]

Even after adding the Pixel Perfect camera component there is no change

It's silly since it is a really minor thing, but I can't stand not having crisp movement. I want to nail at least that down before proceeding with more complex stuff

[rare basin]

you won't have smooth code by directly modyfing the transform.position

that is a very bad way of handling the movement for several reasons (collisions, weird stutter movement)

[fossil sable]

Really?? What's good practice then? Adding a dynamic rigid body and changing its position? I saw that in another video

[floral siren]

hey

[summer stump]

You can do that, or the CharacterController is another option

Using transform just requires a lot of manual physics simulation to avoid the issues mentioned by xaxup. It is possible though for sure

[fossil sable]

Okay then I'll try doing that and see if the problem gets fixed, thanks

[tawdry nymph]

is there a way to get the normal of the collider when using ontriggerenter2D?

when using oncollisionEnter2D you can just use collision.contacts[0].normal; but that doesn't work with triggers for some reason

[wintry quarry]

Triggers don't generate contacts

[tawdry nymph]

oh, is there another way to get them?

[bitter abyss]

hi I am trying to do something from tutorial but it´s not working

https://youtu.be/XtQMytORBmM?si=gTIOJeXK5T3bwU04&t=1900

[eager elm]

hover over the red line. What does it say?

[eager elm]

alright. ScoreText is of type 'Text' and you want to assign a 'String' to it, which doesn't work.
A 'Text' type contains many things, for example the font size, font type, spacing etc. And it also contains a variable called 'text' which is what you are looking for.

[cobalt wing]

guys can i use C++ in unity

[bitter abyss]

I don´t think so

[eager elm]

If you look closely you can also see that the code in the tutorial and the code you posted don't match exactly.

[bitter abyss]

and how can I fix that?

[cobalt wing]

ah sad unfortunately i cant run UE5 is there any other engines that use C++

[eager elm]

scoreText.text = playerScore...

[bitter abyss]

I am stupid but I can´t find it

[eager elm]

scoreText is of type 'Text' which is a class that contains all things you would need to display a text, the font, the spacing of the letters and more importantly the actual text you want to display. To set the text you need to call:
scoreText**.text** = "this text will be shown";

[boreal tangle]

When you make game object and give it a child
Do you add scripts to the parent or child

[rich adder]

depends what child does

[swift crag]

Animation occurs after Update and before LateUpdate, notably.

[boreal tangle]

I am trying to make a player move and I put the body of the player in a game object called player

[swift crag]

there's no answer to this question; it isn't well-defined enough

If you want to move the parent object around, you probably want to put your movement component on the parent object

not because you couldn't put it on the child, but because it just makes more sense that way

[boreal tangle]

Ok ty

[swift crag]

also, you add components to objects, not scripts (:

[boreal tangle]

Ok ty

[swift crag]

Your script files don't get "attached" to anything. They just declare components.

So your Player.cs script probably has a Player class in it, which derives from MonoBehaviour

that creates a new kind of component called Player

[boreal tangle]

Ok

[tender stag]

how can i limit the velocity without setting it directly like i am doing now?

[rich adder]

look fine

[tender stag]

its setting it directly

like my player now falls really slowly

[rich adder]

oh its because velocity overrides gravity

[tender stag]

and its not adding accelerating force anymore

its just instant

[rich adder]

maybe run handle speed only if vel is above certain treshold

doesn't solve it fully tho, you're fighiting forces with vel override :\

[swift crag]

Is player movement always horizontal?

[tender stag]

i was thinking of this maybe

[tender stag]

what do you mean

[eager elm]

I don't think your ClampMagnitude line does anything because moveDirection.normalized * moveSpeed will always be the same magitude.

[swift crag]

you can't look up and hold W to start climbing into the sky, right?

[tender stag]

no

[swift crag]

You could separate out two parts of your velocity:

• Horizontal movement -- in the X and Z directions
• Vertical movement -- in the Y direction

and then only clamp the first one

But this would behave weirdly on slopes. You'd be able to climb them super quickly

[tender stag]

[broken sail]

No ```?

[violet falcon]

done

so what i do

[cosmic quail]

whats the error?

[violet falcon]

Assets/finalScript.cs(19,17): error CS103: The name 'SceneManager' does not exist in the current context

[cosmic quail]

lines 19 and 17? are u sure u tried it with this exact script

[violet falcon]

yes

[wintry quarry]

Spell SceneManager correctly

[summer stump]

Misspelled

[wintry quarry]

right now you wrote SceneManger

which maybe has something to do with Christmas

[violet falcon]

let me see

[wintry quarry]

🎄

[summer stump]

Probably need to configure your IDE? Did it underline the word?

[wintry quarry]

Did you manually type this error message out?
I would assume the actual message says The name 'SceneManger' does not exist in the current context

[violet falcon]

i literally fixed and worked

thanks

[summer stump]

Did it do a red underline under the error in your code?

[violet falcon]

or the drugs

i mean

i'm spanish

yk sometimes hard to write

[cosmic quail]

why did you manually type out the error message and hide the most important part where it says "SceneManger" instead of "SceneManager"

[violet falcon]

idk literally idk

[ruby python]

Evening all. I was just wondering if anyone had a 'technique' for hiding objects that the player character passes behind (fixed Camera angle always following/focused on the player), especially with things like 'multi-storey' buildings that the player can walk inside?

[summer stump]

You can do this with shaders. I also remember an asset on the store that does it

Never done it myself though, so that's the extent of what I know

[timber tide]

can do it with raycast from the camera too if you wanna just hide the walls

like, fully

shaders allow you to do some cutouts though

[summer stump]

Yeah, I was imagining only a piece being transparent. Raycast is a good idea too, and would be easier

[ruby python]

Okay yeah I'd thought about raycasting and shaders/disabling objects, but not entirely sure how I'd go about only disabling floors 'above' the current floor that the player is on if that makes sense?

[timber tide]

comparisons

[ruby python]

as in.....(pseudo)

if raycast hit floor3
enable floor1, floor2
disable floor4, floor5

etc.etc

[timber tide]

floor + 1

[ruby python]

Aah, I get you.

[cunning rapids]

How to maintain lighting of the environment for viewmodels that uses camera stacking

Gun is bland and doesn't follow the lighting of the scene

[summer stump]

Probably best for #archived-lighting

[grim wyvern]

dudes, when it comes to handling attack animations, would you rather use triggers or boolean variables in your animators? I want to assess pros and cons.

[timber tide]

if it's not a loop then I trigger

[lofty lotus]

@grim wyvern a bool is good for looping animation, or animations that you don't want to be stopped if interrupted, like if walking is true, keep walking, while a trigger is good for something like an attack you want to do once or like a death animation, generally I use triggers most often

[royal ledge]

rb.velocity = new Vector2(movementInput.x * movementSpeed, rb.velocity.y);

Am i correct in assuming setting the rb velocity like this in an update, negates any force applied to said object?

As adding force just sets velocity on the rigidbody?

[languid spire]

yes, but this should be done in FixedUpdate

[royal ledge]

Yes ofc

Then i have to recode my movement haha;D

[lofty lotus]

if you want forces to impact your movement you may want to use addforce

instead of velocity

[royal ledge]

I didn't want to use addForce for movement cause then there would be acceleration, but i geuss it is inevitable

I'm sure i can work around it

[summer stump]

You could either commit to velocity or clamp velocity while using addforce

[languid spire]

you can use AddForce without Acceleration

[royal ledge]

Ye, i think i saw a good video on how to approach it awhile back

[lofty lotus]

what are you actually making?

[queen adder]

how can i change this on code guys anyone know?

[royal ledge]

2d platformer, just wanted the movement to be precise

https://youtu.be/KbtcEVCM7bw?t=116
Found the video if anyone is interested

[summer stump]

https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/StandardShaderMaterialParameterRenderingMode.html

[queen adder]

thanks im checking it

[royal ledge]

While i'm at it, when i want to use AddForce once on an object can i just call it in a random method or do i want to flag it so it's used in the fixed update?

[amber spruce]

hey so for my game i have npcs with dialogue how would i make it so the player cant move while they are listening to the dialogue

[summer stump]

Depends. Impulse and SetVelocity modes can be used anywhere no issues when you use them as one time calls
The others can too, but you may want to use them in FixedUpdate to keep it smooth and consistent

[languid spire]

if you want consistent results best keep physics stuff in FixedUpdate

[summer stump]

How do you move? Just make a bool to prevent it
It really depends on what you're doing now

[amber spruce]

this is my move function ```csharp
public void Move()
{
horizontalMove = Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal") * m_Speed;
Vector2 targetVelocity = new Vector2(horizontalMove * 10f, m_Rigidbody2D.velocity.y);
m_Rigidbody2D.velocity = Vector2.SmoothDamp(m_Rigidbody2D.velocity, targetVelocity, ref m_Velocity, m_MovementSmoothing);
animator.SetFloat("Speed", Mathf.Abs(horizontalMove));
if (horizontalMove > 0 && !m_FacingRight)
{
// ... flip the player.
Flip();
}
// Otherwise if the input is moving the player left and the player is facing right...
else if (horizontalMove < 0 && m_FacingRight)
{
// ... flip the player.
Flip();
}
}

[royal ledge]

You have given me knowledge.

[lofty lotus]

just so you are aware, celeste uses a custom movement system so just make sure to use a rigidbody2d and you will be adding a lot of custom stuff either way to make it feel good

[summer stump]

At the top of Move write
if (!canMove) return;

When you start dialogue, disable canMove

[royal ledge]

Yup, i already got clean movement down tbh, just need to switch it up cause i want to be able to apply forces to my player easy, since I just wander the docs like a lost rat I have gaps in my knowledge:)

[lofty lotus]

I am using moveposition for my WASD movement on a 2D top down and it is pretty easy to apply forces like knock back and stuff, you ask a very good question tho

[queen adder]

i want to make this objects renderer mode opaque

[rich adder]

thats now how you do it
btw:

When you change the Rendering Mode, Unity applies a number of changes to the Material. There is no single C# API to change the Rendering Mode of a Material, but you can make the same changes in your code.

https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/StandardShaderMaterialParameterRenderingMode.html

[queen adder]

yea i looked it

it says BlendMode.Opaque this but doesnt work

i dont know how it works i am very beginner if anyone know can help

[rich adder]

just switch 2 materials out..

[summer stump]

That is in a switch statement. Assignments use =

But I agree, just swap materials

[rocky gale]

if im making a customization system where you can choose your color do i make a scriptable object that has a color for each image (that you select to choose your color) and then just use that or is there a better way

[rich adder]

are predetermined colors? why not just a dictionary of them in 1 SO? or am i misunderstanding what you're asking

[slow crystal]

Someone can help me to do an script that makes the player knockback when attacked? feel free to dm me

[rich adder]

do you have something started already and need help with? this is a learning place not really the place for scripts handouts

[queen adder]

yea i think its not work like that

youre right

i added a wall in front of the glass so when i touch a button or something the wall will be disappear

[rocky gale]

oh i see what u mean

[slow crystal]

I have no idea how to do that

[rocky gale]

ye that wil prolly work thx

[rocky gale]

search up a rigidbody tutorial

[rich adder]

are you using rigidbody >

[slow crystal]

Yes

[rich adder]

def use it , it will make it easier

[slow crystal]

I tried to use AddForce but it dont worked

[slow crystal]

I'll try

[rich adder]

depends, you can also just set a gameobject to inactive to hide it , or hide renderer.
or just do the 2 material thing and swap it out in Renderer

[queen adder]

how do i reference a component from an entirely diff obj

for example

in a script inside my camera i want to reference the rigidbody component of the player object

i want to access the rigidbody's velocity

[rich adder]

https://unity.huh.how/programming/references
the best way is always using Serialized references

[rocky gale]

player.GetComponent<Rigidbody>();

[queen adder]

what is a serialized reference

[rich adder]

public Rigidbody rb;
or
[SerializeField] private Rigidbody rb;

ideally the private one

[queen adder]

soooo.. this will refrence a rigidbody component from a entirely different object yes?

[rich adder]

this makes it easy to drag n drop the component directly in the fieldvia inspector

[queen adder]

how do i initialize?

oh wait

🤦‍♂️

ed just told me how

thank you all

[rich adder]

yes you just drag and drop the component you want from the other object into the field

[queen adder]

ohhhhhhhh thats how it works

wow

[rich adder]

GetComponent is ok too but imo no reason to use it if its not a runtime search , and even then stick with TryGetComponent

[queen adder]

niiice

so no need to initialize

[queen adder]

hi can you suggest a unity document for it, when you free

[rocky gale]

ye i thought they meant during runtime

[rich adder]

you mean new()

not sure what you mean initialize in this context

[queen adder]

i mean like

[rich adder]

document for what exactly lol

[queen adder]

whenever you make a new variable

and it has to be defined

[rich adder]

you're just declaring

[queen adder]

hiding the object or deleting it

[rich adder]

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/GameObject.SetActive.html

[queen adder]

tysm

[rich adder]

I hate that unity made an overcomplicated example code on this one but yeah

just SetActive

[rich adder]

oh you mean the type

accessor T variablename that defines vairable name as Type

[queen adder]

im sorry im confused now

[last edge]

question does anyone know how to use git bash? im trying to update my unity project which i edited

[rich adder]

define would be the type the variable name is

Rigidbody is a type you define for example myrigidbody

[queen adder]

ah

that makes sense

ok

[last edge]

like i remember doing add . "name" but forgot how to get ther

[queen adder]

even when i use serialized field,

i have to define it? the unity wont just handle it for me?

[rich adder]

i just use a gui 🚶‍♂️

[last edge]

a gui? how so

[rich adder]

c# is strongly/statically typed , you have to always define something you create

[valid pulsar]

I have two functions (https://paste.ofcode.org/385sHssbFBmyMxzDXGtqxVe) that are very similar and both rebind controls but the one thats supposed to work for composites(the second one) dosent run the On complete part of the PerformInteractiveRebinding but the first function runs perfectly fine.

[rich adder]

like Github Desktop or Fork

[last edge]

oh gotcha

[queen adder]

oke doke

[rich adder]

ahh new #🖱️┃input-system . I'm no help with this one just yet sorrry 😦

[valid pulsar]

didnt see that channel ill post it in there

[hollow carbon]

why can i move left and right but not up and down in my Game?

[valid pulsar]

ive had issues where they y is not the up and down and the z is because of how ive made things mabey thats the problem

[slender nymph]

you have two local variables that are named very similarly and you are using the wrong one in a couple places due to that

[hollow carbon]

and now?

Hello

[slender nymph]

you should print the position to see if the Y value is actually changing

and if it is not, then it is most likely your input axis not set up correctly

and if your Y axis is changing correctly but you do not see the object actually moving then you've deliberately rotated everything 90 degrees around the X axis for some reason so that you have a top down view in a 3d world instead of using the default 2d view

[languid spire]

read the docs on GetAxis

[hollow carbon]

[frail star]

If I have a string like

Sandpaper - 2136A

How can I remove the - and everything after?
using string.Trim()?

[slender nymph]

if you know it will specifically be that character you could just get the index of that character then use that as the end index for a substring starting at the beginning of the string

[fathom ether]

Can i somehow attach a instace of a c# object (in my case a Item) to a dynamically created gameobject (a button)?

[timber tide]

sure why not

not as a component though you need mono for that

[slender nymph]

if it is a plain old c# object you don't "attach" it, just pass the reference to the instantiated object from another monobehaviour

[frail star]

Yes it will be that character specifically

string key = inventoryList.name.ToLower();

[slender nymph]

well this already smells

you should provide more context for what you are doing

[swift crag]

Only classes that derive UnityEngine.Object will show up as a draggable "thing" in the inspector.

All reference types can be shared as per usual. If you do foo.bar = baz;, then foo.bar and baz refer to the same object.

[fathom ether]

Not exactly sure what you mean, currently i've got something like

foreach(Item item in Inventory.items)
{
    GameObject inventoryItem = Instantiate(InventoryContentPrefab, InventoryContent_Component.transform);
    // Somehow being able make the Item part of the instantiated gameoObject for later use
}

[swift crag]

well, start by changing InventoryContentPrefab's type to something other than GameObject

that's a very vague prefab

[timber tide]

Inventory and UI stuff follows the basic model view controller pattern if you're familiar with that with the GameObject's being the UI logic and the inventory the business.

[swift crag]

public class InventoryContentEntry : MonoBehaviour {
  public Item item;
  // more code 
}

...

foreach (var item in Inventory.items) {
  var entry = Instantiate(inventoryContentEntryPrefab, InventoryDisplay.transform);
  entry.item = item;
}

it might look like this

[frail star]

Just editing strings that have a "-" followed by 4 numbers and a letter like above I just wanna change this line below to cut off the - and everything after that character.. ( Sandpaper - 2136A then becomes sandpaper)
string key = inventoryList.name.ToLower();

[swift crag]

no, that's what you're trying to do to solve your problem

SetValueWithoutNotify

[swift crag]

you'll find this on all of the UI input classes

[frail star]

I'll come back to this in 4.5 hours gotta go back into work , I'll explain just maybe a pm

[swift crag]

no, you can explain what you're doing here, so that people can help you

[molten horizon]

Oh! It's that simple. Thank you

[bitter oar]

Hey, i want to do that when the player jumps and attacks he does a dive, but he kind of "teleports" instead of moving to the direction, this is my code:

public void Attack()
    {
        if (!readyToAttack || attacking) return;

        readyToAttack = false;
        attacking = true;
        playerRigidbody.AddForce(transform.forward*1000, ForceMode.Acceleration);

        Invoke(nameof(ResetAttack), attackSpeed);
        Invoke(nameof(AttackRaycast), attackDelay);

        //audioSource.pitch = 
        //sound stuff
        if (isGrounded)
        {
            if (attackCount == 0)
            {
                ChangeAnimationState(ATTACK1);
                attackCount++;
            }
            else
            {
                ChangeAnimationState(ATTACK2);
                attackCount = 0;
            }
        }
        else
        {
            if (dived == false)
            {
                //if (animator.GetBool("isDiving") == false && !isGrounded)
                //{
                    //DIVE ATTACK
                    animatorManager.PlayTargetAnimtion("Dive Attack", false);
                    animator.SetBool("isDiving", true);
                //}

                
                moveDirection *= 7;
                dived = true;
            }
            playerRigidbody.AddForce(transform.up * 70, ForceMode.Impulse);
            playerRigidbody.AddForce(transform.forward * 300, ForceMode.Impulse);
        }
    }

I tried using other forcemodes, but they barely make a change.

[slender nymph]

i'm guessing that you typically move the object using velocity instead of force? because you're probably just overwriting any velocity applied by these AddForce calls

[swift crag]

using ForceMode.Acceleration in a method you only call once doesn't make sense, by the way

Force and Acceleration are both used to apply force over time

they tell you how hard you're pushing

[modern seal]

What happens to my UI code when I build for dedicated server? for example a listener to a button, that wont be needed on my server, is that still running on the server and wasting resources?

[cosmic dagger]

VelocityChange and Impulse are forces applied instantly (in one frame) as opposed to over time (multiple frames) . . .

[clever pumice]

Is there any benefit to using C# instead of C++

-for unity. I know C++ is generally more complex, but I'll be forced to learn it either way.

[languid spire]

yes, people who only think they can code have less chance of totally screwing things up

[modern seal]

lol

[clever pumice]

What?

[cosmic dagger]

They're not wrong. It's harder to screw up in C# . . .

[clever pumice]

Oh, yeah, I know. But is there any benefit specifically for using it with Unity?

[cosmic dagger]

But since you're in here, Unity is only C# so that's all you have . . .

[eternal needle]

You dont use c++ in unity at all

[languid spire]

Unity only supports c# so there is that

[clever pumice]

I thought you could

Oh well

[languid spire]

see what I mean about who 'think'

[cosmic dagger]

You've been duped . . .

[clever pumice]

Duped?

[summer stump]

Duplicated
It means tricked. From the word duplicity

[cosmic dagger]

Deceived or cheated of thinking you can use C++ . . .

[clever pumice]

Oh

I could've googled it but it's nicer from others

[languid spire]

but 'others' might not know what they are talking about either, so how much better off are you?

[clever pumice]

So you're saying I can't trust you?

[languid spire]

me you can trust, others I'm not so sure of

[bitter oar]

would it be better to add force using the objects mass or ignoring it?

[languid spire]

depends on your game requirements

[cosmic dagger]

Do you use the correct mass to move every object in your game?

[bitter oar]

like which one will result in less bugs and exploits in the future

[languid spire]

that should not be your concern, what physics does your game require?

[lean geyser]

in my UI2D script I have a function to restart the main scene

    public void RestartLevel()
    {
        SceneManager.LoadScene("mainGame");
    }

I want it to be triggered upon pressing a button, the problem is that I am unable to select any function in the dropdown

Any suggestions as to why I am unable to find the function please?

[bitter oar]

for now im only using rigidbodies with default settings

[slender nymph]

https://unity.huh.how/unity-events/incorrect-assignment

[lean geyser]

Oh are you implying that I should be attaching UI2D over Player2D?

[slender nymph]

what? you need to drag an object that has the component into the slot. not the script asset

[lean geyser]

That went completely over my head, thank you

[slender nymph]

should have read the info in the link

[fathom ether]

Got it working, thanks a lot

[nova frigate]

Hi. Does anyone know any tutorials for implamenting melee combat on AI enemies?

[slow crystal]

Someone can help me with this error? Object reference not set to an instace of an object

[swift crag]

https://unity.huh.how/runtime-exceptions/nullreferenceexception

this describes what the error means and what causes it.

[fluid remnant]

Huh? We cannot paste from Transform rotation to Quaternion inside a custom struct?
but works for Position ?

Am I missing something?

[Serializable]
public struct PosRot
{
    public Vector3 Position;
    public Quaternion Rotation;
}```

I can't right click the field at all.

[ivory bobcat]

I'm assuming there's a w field with quaternion that you aren't showing

[slender nymph]

actually unity displays quaternions as euler angles in the inspector for whatever reason so there's probably not

[fluid remnant]

nope
it's showing euler angles

I just can't copy / paste in this field for some reason

only the individual X,Y,Z though

[ivory bobcat]

Haven't tried but is this exclusive to your script only or does this apply for to Transform property as well?

[fluid remnant]

just the struct, works fine between Transforms

[ivory bobcat]

I'm uncertain than

[fluid remnant]

yea Unity must be doing some extra tricks with Transform inspector

[bleak vale]

private void OnTriggerStay(Collider collider)
{
    if (collider.gameObject.GetComponent<Health>())
    {
        Health health = collider.gameObject.GetComponent<Health>();
        Debug.Log(health.healthPoint.Value);
    }
    if (cooldown <= 0)
    {
        if (collider.gameObject.GetComponent<Health>())
        {
            if (!IsServer) { return; }
            Health health = collider.gameObject.GetComponent<Health>();
            if (health.whatIsIt == WhatIsIt.isBoss) return;
            health.healthPoint.Value -= 1000;
        }
        Destroy(gameObject);
    }
}

Can someone explain to me why Trigger is not getting the sentry collision?

I mean the wall, the boss or even the player are reciving the trigger and they get Debug.Log but not that sentry

Colliders are in childs but parent have rigidbody

[slender nymph]

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

[bleak vale]

Does rigidbody ignore collision or what?

[bleak vale]

For what are u sending me something I know and its even in the code?

[slender nymph]

well if you don't want help 🤷‍♂️

[bleak vale]

Mate

I want help

I dont want link

To something I know

Heres the thing

[slender nymph]

show the rigidbody and the collider for both of the objects involved

also finish your thought before pressing enter. your vertical messages are annoying

[frosty hound]

Are your colliders actually set to triggers?

[bleak vale]

Yes

Inside detonation spell the sphere collider is set to trigger

[queen adder]

Is this channel for beginners?

[slender nymph]

did you read the name of the channel?

[rocky canyon]

lol.. ur gonna have trouble coding 😐

[queen adder]

Yea but I still want to make sure

[bleak vale]

No its for experts

[queen adder]

guys i wronly pressed a button now objects move grid grid

anyone know the key?

[queen adder]

Got to start somewhere

[bleak vale]

The name of the channel is a sarcatic joke

[queen adder]

Oh ok

[slender nymph]

this is a code channel. but just toggle the grid snapping option in your scene view

[queen adder]

where is it sir

How the fuck am I supposed to make a player

oh i found

This scripting shit is hard 😭

tysm for helping

[slender nymph]

there are beginner courses pinned in this channel. i suggest you start there

[frosty hound]

Are you spawning this explosion at a point? TriggerEnter won't call for things which are immediately inside the collider when spawned since they never "entered" inside.

[bleak vale]

Its on stay mate

[stuck palm]

why isnt this code working? im using character controller (cc)

[bleak vale]

As I am telling you guys. The script is working on every other gameobject wich has Health script like player, wall or boss

But not on a sentry

[slender nymph]

cc.Move expects a direction to move the character controller in. passing a position does not make sense

[stuck palm]

would i just change transform.position then?

[bleak vale]

There are so many structure in my game that have health script but this one is not working and its the only one gameobject that has a mesh collider

As it's a model from blender

[slender nymph]

yes but be mindful that you need to disable the CC to teleport it
https://unity.huh.how/character-controller/teleportation

[summer stump]

There is a LOT that goes into that, what specifically do you need help with?

[queen adder]

Man where do I even start, sorry I'm an absolute begginer

[slender nymph]

you still haven't shown the collider for your sentry

[queen adder]

But I have to start somewhere yk

[stuck palm]

ahhh thats probably why it didnt work when i did transform.position the first time

[summer stump]

!learn

[slender nymph]

and the default layer can collide with itself? and you've added logs into your OnTriggerStay to confirm whether it is actually being called or not and that this isn't just a logic issue?

um what?

[queen adder]

👍

[bleak vale]

Yes and yes

[slender nymph]

so if you have confirmed that OnTriggerStay is not being called then your objects colliders are not actually overlapping

[minor roost]

any help with my code?

[bleak vale]

So what should I do now?

Seems like you went out of bounds

[minor roost]

yes

[slender nymph]

newTile.transform.parent = worldChunks[(int)chunkCoord].transform;
this means that chunkCoord is either below 0 or larger than the number of objects you have in the array

[minor roost]

ik that lol

where do i put that

[slender nymph]

wdym where do you put that? that's line 221 which is the line your error is happening on

[minor roost]

found it what do i make it

what do i change the code to

[slender nymph]

well you need to start by figuring out why that number is outside of the range

[minor roost]

hmm thinking

[timber tide]

start printing values

[slender nymph]

i'd imagine it has something to do with your giant pile of magic numbers being added to your X inside of generateTree

[minor roost]

it prob is

does the error affect the game alot or can i just leave it?

[slender nymph]

you need to fix your errors

[minor roost]

ill ask chat gpt

[queen adder]

if you have a time, can you look at the prob in unity talk too.

[visual merlin]

how do make the code wait for a lil bit, like a "time.sleep" but in c#

[timber tide]

coroutines usually

[slender nymph]

use a coroutine or a timer in update

and do not fall into the trap of using Thread.Sleep. it's a trick and will freeze your entire game for the duration of the sleep

[visual merlin]

🫡 aye aye

[minor roost]

ill try and fix ty guys

[rocky canyon]

    public void StartCoroutineExample()
    {
        StartCoroutine(WaitAndCallFunction());
    }

    // Coroutine that waits for 3 seconds and then calls another function
    private IEnumerator WaitAndCallFunction()
    {
        // Do something before waiting, if needed

        // Wait for 3 seconds
        yield return new WaitForSeconds(3f);

        // Call another function here
        YourOtherFunction();
    }```
heres an example of a coroutine being called in the `StartCoroutineExample()` function..

you'll also need the using System.Collections; using statement at the top in order to access the stuff u need to run one

[swift crag]

You can never stop the main thread. That's the golden rule.

So you can't make your Update method "wait", for example

[quaint kindle]

I thought Unity remembers the output folder when you switch from Desktop to Server Build? or is there a setting.. I would think it would remember the different folders you select when Building for the different Platforms in the editor... that just seems like it should naturally remember that. This is on 2022

[minor roost]

quick thing if (y >= height - 1)
{
int t = Random.Range(0, Treechance);

                if (t == 1)
                {   
                     // Tree generation
                    if (worldTiles.Contains(new Vector2(x, y)))
                    {
                        generateTree(x, y + 1);
                    }
                    else 
                    {
                        int i = Random.Range(0, tallGrassChance);
                        //TallGrass Generation
                        if (i == 1)
                        {
                            placeTile(tileAtlas.TallGrass.tileSprites, x, y + 1);
                        }
                    }
                }

did i do a mistake or sm
