[rich adder]

just seems pointless, instead of just assigning it in the inspector and have it ready lol

[dusty rivet]

idk how to explain it but im trying to make an animation for a button where when you hover over it theres a bar that extends just above the word that goes to the right then one that goes down the right side then one across the bottom to the left and one up the right side and i have a ui element thats a bar and it at the top and if i increase the RectTransform.right value the bar will extend along the top but idk how to go abt changing it in code

do you know how id go about doing that

[rich adder]

if you're dealing with UI just use the anchoredPosition

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/RectTransform-anchoredPosition.html

[unreal imp]

But the 2 codes which I send are ok?

Or need a cache too?

[rich adder]

thats the one I meant, the Animator line

looks fine otherwise, although I would approach it completely different

my toilet would probably have enum states

[dusty rivet]

what does OnGUI do?

or

when is it called

[rich adder]

ehh they're just drawing some sliders in the example

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/MonoBehaviour.OnGUI.html

its a quick way to draw UI elements on screen without canvas

for testing mainly

[dusty rivet]

how would i use anchoredPosition to change the scale of the object

like i want to extend it to the right

[rich adder]

you don't you use sizeDelta

[dusty rivet]

but if i change the scale it extends to the left aswell

[rich adder]

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/RectTransform-sizeDelta.html

[rich adder]

because the pivot/anchor is in the center

move the pivot to the left side

[dusty rivet]

to do this do i change the pivot to X = -1 and Y = 1?

[rich adder]

pivot X should be 0

Y doesnt make a difference for width

[dusty rivet]

when i change this value to 1 it just makes the recttransform values this

is there i way i can make the right value just go from 350 (which is not extended) to 0 (which is extended)

[wintry quarry]

You need to change the anchors

[dusty rivet]

to what

[dusty rivet]

ive changed the anchors to match the corners of the top bar and now when i hover over it the values change to this

[timber tide]

yellow

[dusty rivet]

but i want the top bottom and right to be 0

[dusty rivet]

yup

[rich adder]

Huh why is it set to stretch

[dusty rivet]

idk it was automatically was set to that

[wintry quarry]

That's how you set the anchors

[ocean blaze]

Ok I saw this comment a little late and I appreciate the suggestion but what I implemented was that it would basically play even when the seen reset so the same thing as before but this time it mutes/freezes the audio when transitioning to a different scene for example if I am playing and go to the main menu the audio from lvl 1 pauses then when I go back to lvl 1 it resumes same place you left off it that makes sense

Do you think this is a good work around or do you see any bugs around the corner I should be aware of?

[pliant mist]

https://gdl.space/yorabuyaka.cs I want to adapt this script to top down 3D movement

how do I do this?

[polar acorn]

Use a non-2D Rigidbody

[gentle moat]

Hi, I am trying to make my player move in the direction they attack, and I was wondering why this might not be working. There is no movement when I attack.
https://gdl.space/yaxobebiva.cpp

[twin bolt]

Does anyone know why this is not loading the "DesiredScene" after the 5 seconds? ```using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.SceneManagement;

public class CrossSceneElevator : MonoBehaviour
{
GameObject PlayerController;
GameObject PlayerCamera;
public string DesiredScene;

AsyncOperation Progress;

private void Start()
{
    PlayerController = GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag("Player");
    PlayerCamera = GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag("MainCamera");
}

private void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other)
{
    if (other.CompareTag("Player"))
    {
        StartCoroutine(Wait());
        Progress = SceneManager.LoadSceneAsync(DesiredScene);
        Progress.allowSceneActivation = false;
        GetComponent<BoxCollider>().enabled = false;
    }
}


IEnumerator Wait()
{
    yield return new WaitForSeconds(5);
    PlayerPrefs.SetFloat("POSX", PlayerController.transform.position.x);
    PlayerPrefs.SetFloat("POSY", PlayerController.transform.position.y);
    PlayerPrefs.SetFloat("POSZ", PlayerController.transform.position.z);

    PlayerPrefs.SetFloat("ROTY", PlayerController.transform.rotation.y);

    PlayerPrefs.SetFloat("CameraROTX", PlayerCamera.transform.rotation.x);
    PlayerPrefs.SetFloat("CameraROTY", PlayerCamera.transform.rotation.y);
    PlayerPrefs.SetFloat("CameraROTZ", PlayerCamera.transform.rotation.z);

    PlayerPrefs.SetInt("Elevator", 1);

    SceneManager.UnloadScene("1.12 Hall");
    Progress.allowSceneActivation = true;
}

}```

[polar acorn]

You start the async load of the scene immediately. It probably takes less than 5 seconds to load

[twin bolt]

Which is what i want. The setup of my scene, is having the player enter a elevator, which loads the next scene in the background, and waits about 5 seconds, then loads the next scene.

[polar acorn]

And what is currently happening

[twin bolt]

It loads the scene in the background, but doesn't switch to that scene after the 5 seconds.

[polar acorn]

What happens if you put the allowSceneActivation before the unloadScene

[twin bolt]

Same thing

[teal viper]

I'd suggest adding some logs or stepping with the debugger

[polar acorn]

Let's try commenting out the unload scene completely

It's probably unloading this object, thereby cancelling the coroutine, before it finishes loading

[twin bolt]

I would, but i'm not sure where, it doesn't call the "Wait()" function at all.

[twin bolt]

Ok

[polar acorn]

Oh, that's a completely different issue

I had assumed you made sure the function was even running first

[twin bolt]

Well actually i'm not sure, thats more of a assumption, i'll check.

[polar acorn]

Never assume

[twin bolt]

Okay, so it is calling the coroutine, so it must be having issues with the "Wait for seconds" line, or Stopping somewhere.

[polar acorn]

Put a log after the wait

[twin bolt]

Hmm, thats interesting, there is a log, meaning that the coroutine is working, just not loading the scene.

[polar acorn]

So continue with the previous plan of commenting out the unload

[twin bolt]

Did that, and it changed nothing.

[polar acorn]

Oh, here's a thought, if you collide again while the operation is going, you get a new async operation and never re-enable allowSceneActivation on the original one

You should only run that code if progress is null

[twin bolt]

I disabled the collider though.

[polar acorn]

Let's make sure. Log after you set progress and see how many times that log happens

[slender bridge]

why not while loop yield return null while the task isnt done and move all your code into the coroutine

IEnumerator Wait()
    {
        var progress = SceneManager.LoadSceneAsync(DesiredScene, LoadSceneMode.Additive);
        
        //other stuff
        
        while (!progress.isDone)
        {
            yield return null;
        }
        
        //other stuff

        SceneManager.UnloadScene("1.12 Hall");
    }

something like that

[twin bolt]

Okay i'll do that now, and i also noticed that the courotine goes through every line of code and stops right before the allowsceneactivation = true.

[twin bolt]

Okay so now i see that it also goes through the allowsceneactivation line, so i'm not sure why it isnt loading the scene.

[teal viper]

Does it work if you load it synchronously?

[twin bolt]

Yes

[teal viper]

Okay, then share your current code

[twin bolt]

With the Scenemanager.Loadscene?

[teal viper]

You can comment that part and keep it for reference. I'm more interested in the latest async loading code

[twin bolt]

Here: ```public class CrossSceneElevator : MonoBehaviour
{
GameObject PlayerController;
GameObject PlayerCamera;
public string DesiredScene;

AsyncOperation Progress;

private void Start()
{
    PlayerController = GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag("Player");
    PlayerCamera = GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag("MainCamera");
}

private void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other)
{
    if (other.CompareTag("Player"))
    {
        //SceneManager.LoadScene(DesiredScene);
        StartCoroutine(Wait());
        Progress = SceneManager.LoadSceneAsync(DesiredScene);
        Progress.allowSceneActivation = false;
        Debug.Log("Done");
        GetComponent<BoxCollider>().enabled = false;
    }
}


IEnumerator Wait()
{
    yield return new WaitForSeconds(5);
    PlayerPrefs.SetFloat("POSX", PlayerController.transform.position.x);
    PlayerPrefs.SetFloat("POSY", PlayerController.transform.position.y);
    PlayerPrefs.SetFloat("POSZ", PlayerController.transform.position.z);
    PlayerPrefs.SetFloat("ROTY", PlayerController.transform.rotation.y);
    PlayerPrefs.SetFloat("CameraROTX", PlayerCamera.transform.rotation.x);
    PlayerPrefs.SetFloat("CameraROTY", PlayerCamera.transform.rotation.y);
    PlayerPrefs.SetFloat("CameraROTZ", PlayerCamera.transform.rotation.z);
    PlayerPrefs.SetInt("Elevator", 1);
    SceneManager.UnloadSceneAsync("1.12 Hall");
    Progress.allowSceneActivation = true;
    Debug.Log("Done again");
}

}```

[teal viper]

Btw, what makes you think you need to call UnloadSceneAsync?

Can you comment that out and see what happens?

[twin bolt]

I dont want that scene to still be loaded in the background once i load into the next scene.

[teal viper]

LoadSceneAsync unloads any other scene before loading the new one.

Unless you load it additively

Also, everyone assumed that you don't have any errors in the console, but is that true?

[twin bolt]

Yes that is true.

[teal viper]

Okay. The only other thing that bothers me is that you're waiting for 5 sec. What if your scene is not loaded by that time? I think you should use a loop and check the progress too.

Kind of like they do in the documentation example:
https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/AsyncOperation-allowSceneActivation.html

[twin bolt]

Like this? IEnumerator Wait() { while(!Progress.isDone) { yield return null; } PlayerPrefs.SetFloat("POSX", PlayerController.transform.position.x); PlayerPrefs.SetFloat("POSY", PlayerController.transform.position.y); PlayerPrefs.SetFloat("POSZ", PlayerController.transform.position.z); PlayerPrefs.SetFloat("ROTY", PlayerController.transform.rotation.y); PlayerPrefs.SetFloat("CameraROTX", PlayerCamera.transform.rotation.x); PlayerPrefs.SetFloat("CameraROTY", PlayerCamera.transform.rotation.y); PlayerPrefs.SetFloat("CameraROTZ", PlayerCamera.transform.rotation.z); PlayerPrefs.SetInt("Elevator", 1); //SceneManager.UnloadSceneAsync("1.12 Hall"); Progress.allowSceneActivation = true; Debug.Log("Done again"); }

[teal viper]

Not if you set allowSceneActivation to false

When allowSceneActivation is set to false, Unity stops progress at 0.9, and maintains.isDone at false. When AsyncOperation.allowSceneActivation is set to true, isDone can complete. While isDone is false, the AsyncOperation queue is stalled. For example, if a LoadSceneAsync.allowSceneActivation is set to false, and another AsyncOperation (e.g. SceneManager.UnloadSceneAsync ) initializes, Unity does not call the second operation until the first AsyncOperation.allowSceneActivation is set to true.

Please read the docs

And look at their example.

[teal viper]

This would get stuck in "infinite loop" if you do set it to false before.

[terse osprey]

I need help, I am using this script for when my enemy dies. Is kinematic gets switched off but animator isnt getting diables

[summer stump]

Can you show the inspector for the object with Ragdoll?

[terse osprey]

actually I figured it out

[twin bolt]

I might have done what you were mentioning ``` IEnumerator Wait()
{
yield return null;

    Progress = SceneManager.LoadSceneAsync(DesiredScene);
    Progress.allowSceneActivation = false;
    while (!Progress.isDone)
    {
        PlayerPrefs.SetFloat("POSX", PlayerController.transform.position.x);
        PlayerPrefs.SetFloat("POSY", PlayerController.transform.position.y);
        PlayerPrefs.SetFloat("POSZ", PlayerController.transform.position.z);
        PlayerPrefs.SetFloat("ROTY", PlayerController.transform.rotation.y);
        PlayerPrefs.SetFloat("CameraROTX", PlayerCamera.transform.rotation.x);
        PlayerPrefs.SetFloat("CameraROTY", PlayerCamera.transform.rotation.y);
        PlayerPrefs.SetFloat("CameraROTZ", PlayerCamera.transform.rotation.z);
        PlayerPrefs.SetInt("Elevator", 1);
        //SceneManager.UnloadSceneAsync("1.12 Hall");
        Progress.allowSceneActivation = true;
    }
}```

Everything is frozen

[teal viper]

Again, check the docs page that I linked. The part where they check the progress is crucial.

[twin bolt]

How do i unfreeze my unity editor?

[summer stump]

Oh ok nice!

[ivory bobcat]

Is it because of an infinite loop?

[teal viper]

Could try breaking with the debugger in the loop and manually changing Progress.isDone if it allows you.@twin bolt

[terse osprey]

I need help on one more thing

[summer stump]

You still have while (!Progress.isDone) after setting allowSceneActivation to false

Oh, I see how you have it. Interesting

[twin bolt]

I think

[terse osprey]

This is a code that detects when the enemy is hit and takes damage. on some occasions the weapons fires faster and some of the bullets are ignores like a delay between each registered bullet. How can I fix this so every bullet is registered

[ivory bobcat]

If it's in play mode and you're certain where it's freezing, you could try attaching the ide to the running process with a break point at the looping location in code.

[summer stump]

Is TakeDamage a coroutine? It seems like you disallow damage for some amount of time
And how are the bullets moved?

[terse osprey]

the bullets are projectiles spawned when I fire and TakeDamage is a public void

[summer stump]

Ok, where are isHit and routineStarted set true?
Also, how are the bullets moved? With the transform or a rigidbody

[terse osprey]

IsHit and routineStarted are set true for the projectile scripts and they are moved using transform

[summer stump]

Well, transform movement will usually cause issues.
It is just teleporting from one point to the next. It can teleport directly over something easily

If you want to use the transform, raycast ahead of it to check the space in between the teleportation points

Or just use a rigidbody and set interpolation on and collision detection to continuous

I think the delay between the registered hits is caused by the routineStarted bool, that's why I was asking about it

[terse osprey]

Should the bool be removed entirely

because I was reusing another script but I think this one doesnt need the routine started bool

[summer stump]

Well, I still have no idea what routineStarted represents, so I have no idea.
Are you starting a coroutine that causes bullets to not cause damage for some amount of time, because that's all I could guess

[terse osprey]

I think I understand what is happening here and ill figure the rest of it out

Thanks for the help

[rich adder]

nota code question
#archived-lighting

[twin bolt]

I just realised something, none of my asyc scenes are loading, is there a limit on how many scenes you can have in the background?

[summer stump]

If you aren't loading additively I think it is limited to 1
Same as normally loaded scenes

[ruby ember]

can someone send me a code of mobile player controller mobile (like player movement joystick and rotation)

[summer stump]

I really doubt anyone will, we can help you if you have an issue though

[ruby ember]

okay

[twin bolt]

Okay i may have found the issue, i think one of my other scenes loaded in the background is what is breaking it, its waiting for that scene to be loaded.

[abstract finch]

Is there a way to make a float Round itself to 1 or -1 from a float if its above 0 using one of the mathf functions?

[summer stump]

I would think calling LoadSceneAsync would cancel any other scene being loaded and load the new one, but I really don't know. I've never tried doing more than one when not doing it additively

[polar acorn]

If it's above 0 how would it round to -1

[summer stump]

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Mathf.Round.html ?

[abstract finch]

sorry what i meant was turn into a whole number

[twin bolt]

Does Loadsceneadditive, work similar to Async. Does it remove the wait times?

[abstract finch]

I think this is it, im just tracking the mouse X to either be 1 -1 or 0

[summer stump]

No, there is no such thing as LoadSceneAdditive
It's just LoadScene and LoadSceneAsync with the second parameter set to LoadSceneMode.Additive

[ruby ember]

It means is a yes?

Well

I need this script because I need to test something

[twin bolt]

What do you suggest i do, to remove those wait times between loading scenes normally?

[summer stump]

It means an absolute no. If you want to gamble on the extremely unlikely case someone will just give you code, you can.

Or you can show what you have done and explain why it didn't work, and we can help you with ig

[summer stump]

You always have to wait somewhere. That is unavoidable. Async just makes the wait happen while the player is still playing

[ruby ember]

Oh well I did this
Joystick works but I need to add the player movement and rotation

This video was made before UI added

[teal viper]

Have a small "loading screen" loaded as DDOL or something and enable it/transition to it between actual scenes.

[edgy hearth]

hey so im coding a wall running script, but if i look slightly towards the wall instead of straight forward i slow down. does anyone know of a way so i can make it that you can look within a few degrees and the player wont slow down?

[dawn rampart]

when i flip the character it flips to far because of the sprites

is there any way to fix this?

[rich adder]

not a code question.
try putting pivot at the same spot by the feet

[dawn rampart]

sorry but would that work if I rotate the gameobject because i need that so that its weapon has a hitbox

flip the gameobject by rotating its x by 180

[rich adder]

you rotate on y 180 to flip in 2d

[quick ruin]

how do I make this a System.Func<bool>

[dawn rampart]

but i need the hitbox to flip with it to so that it will be on the side its facing

[dawn rampart]

there might be something at the top saying using Systems.Numerics maybe

[rich adder]

it expects a func<bool>

youpassed a bool

[quick ruin]

how would I change a bool into a func<bool>

[rich adder]

you could prob make it anonym func. WaitUntil(()=> Condition == something)

[quick ruin]

=> worked, thanks 🙂

[rich adder]

so what?

[woven crater]

im thinking of create a arbitrary time counter by using time.delta time to increase a float variable and use that variable to do other time based task
are\ there any better method?

[rich adder]

is fine for most cases

there is also coroutine waitUntil

[rich bluff]

if its global make sure it updates before everything else

[charred spoke]

Isnt this Time.time with extra steps?

[woven crater]

thought it only count up and cant be reset

[charred spoke]

It cant but why do you need it to reset? Usually you just calc a div in time so you if(currentTime-prevTime > someNum) doThing() prevTime = currentTime

[woven crater]

Oh neat

[woven crater]

Wait it's it gonna have problem like everything is sync together? I want a game object to have it own counter when created

[charred spoke]

If you keep track of prevTime in each gameObject then I dont see how it’s gonna be synced

[rich bluff]

class MyScript{
  float startTime;
  void Start() {
     startTime = Time.time;
  }

  void Update()
  {
      print($"Internal time {Time.time - startTime}");
  }
}

[charred spoke]

What exactly are you trying to do I might have a git repo for you

[woven crater]

Hmmm I see. I just assume how it work while going to school. Will figure it out for my own

[violet topaz]

public class Attacking : MonoBehaviour
{
    public int attackDamage;
    public float attackDistance;
    public float attackDelay = 0.4f;
    public float attackSpeed = 1f;

    public type state;
    public enum type
    {
        fists,
        weapon
    }
    private void Start()
    {
        state = type.fists;
    }
    private void Update()
    {
        Weapon();
    }
    private void Weapon()
    {
        if (state == type.fists)
        {
            attackDamage = 1;
            attackDistance = 2;
            attackSpeed = 1f;
            attackDelay = 0.4f;
        }

        if (state == type.weapon)
        {
            attackDamage = 2;
            attackDistance = 3;
            attackSpeed = 1.5f;
            attackDelay = 0.4f;
        }
    }
}

Instead of the attack damage or any of them being set to 1 and only being able to be changed in the code how would I change it in the inspector

[eternal needle]

you should already be able to change these in the inspector, but your Weapon() logic is running every single frame, so it is resetting them back to these values in code.

you dont need to run it every frame, only when the state is updated

[violet topaz]

so how would i fix it

[eternal needle]

dont have a public field for the state, use a property or method so you can run logic everytime its updated from an external script

[static cedar]

You can move the point of origin position of each sprite in the sprite editor.

[weak talon]

im using instantiate to spawn my bullet
why when it spawns in the hiearchy it is set to inactive please help. Also it was working like 5 seconds ago.

[eternal needle]

you really dont need to crosspost this to 3 channels, look at #854851968446365696 on how to ask properly

[weak talon]

do you know how to fix it?

[undone inlet]

My game screen is made with UGUI, and I'm using Post Processing's Bloom effect, and I realized that it will work on all the Images in my screen, and I only want one of them to glow, and the others don't, how can I do it?

[eternal needle]

yes, you fix it by first asking the question properly. look at the #854851968446365696 on how to ask and someone will help

[eternal needle]

this is a coding channel, you probably want like #💥┃post-processing

[weak talon]

so you dont know?

sorry for crossposting just please help me

[undone inlet]

thanks

[topaz mortar]

Is this too much?
Dictionary<int, List<Dictionary<string, object>>> returnDic = new Dictionary<int, List<Dictionary<string, object>>>();
The outer Dictionary would hold monster id's
The list is then a list of the combat logs each with it's own inner dictionary of log values

Or is that perfectly standard in C#?

[ivory bobcat]

Is there a reason you're using a dictionary instead of a list for the outer collection?

[gaunt ice]

why the value cant be a custom class ie Dictionary<int,List<LogClass>>
dictioanary<string,object> sounds like json format

[weak talon]

im using instantiate to spawn my bullet
why when it spawns in the hiearchy it is set to inactive please help. It was working and i dont know what i did

[ivory bobcat]

Is the prefab active?

[gaunt ice]

since the object is inactive

[weak talon]

yes

[topaz mortar]

because it has the monster id as key

[gaunt ice]

check if something that set it to be inactive, especially the code after Instantiate

[queen adder]

i have a question if i make a game with unity and share it with friends and play it multiplayer will it cost anything

[ivory bobcat]

Is the parent active?

[weak talon]

yeah

[weak talon]

i even tried setting the prefab to active when it is instantated but that still didnt work

[ivory bobcat]

Are there any components on it that's setting it inactive?

Is the spawner/manager setting it inactive?

[topaz mortar]

most of unity gaming services has a very generous free tier, check the website for their pricings

[weak talon]

no i didnt add or remove any compopnents it just randomly stopped working

[queen adder]

i did but i dont understand anything about the fee thing

[ivory bobcat]

Surely one of the above suggestions isn't what you think it is.

[topaz mortar]

which one do you want to use? what part do you not understand?

[queen adder]

the personal program, i dont understand what is it and how much is it

[topaz mortar]

well you did something somewhere that caused it to stop working
might be something you think is completely unrelated, but things don't randomly stop working 😉

[topaz mortar]

personal program of what?

[weak talon]

i added code to make it different but it stopped working when i did that. so it was probably that but then i ctrl + z all the way back to the start and it isnt working

what can make it set to inactive

[topaz mortar]

did you ctrl z a reference that you need to set in the editor?

[queen adder]

unity personal, free version of unity

[weak talon]

no i checked the player prefab and everything is set to the right thing. like when i click it works perfectly but the bullet is just set to inactive

[topaz mortar]

if you are using unity as a single person / hobbyist it's free to use

also completely not related to coding

[queen adder]

so i can share the game for free also?

[topaz mortar]

why don't you just read the website instead of coming to a chat that has nothing to do with your question and expecting others to do your research for you?

it took me 15 seconds to find

[queen adder]

ok sorry i tried but i couldnt find it thank tho

[weak talon]

im gonna deelte all the shoot code and write it again

[topaz mortar]

show the line of code that instantiates the bullet

also if you open your prefab (double click it so it's open in your scene)
then in the inspector on the right, is it active?

[weak talon]

        if (Input.GetMouseButton(0) && canShoot)
        {
            Instantiate(bulletPrefab, firePoint.transform.position, firePointOrientation.transform.rotation);

            StartCoroutine(ShootCooldown());
        }

yes it is set to active

[weak talon]

yeah its on

[topaz mortar]

show a screenshot of your full unity screen with the prefab open

[eternal needle]

there are ways to do it yea, but you really wont have fun doing multiplayer if you know nothing about unity. multiplayer is never easy

[topaz mortar]

it's getting easier & easier with the tools unity offers

[short perch]

After a month of using c#, I can finally fix compiler errors sort of easily

[topaz mortar]

any SetActive in that script?

[weak talon]

no

[topaz mortar]

are bullet1 & 2 active?

[weak talon]

yeah

[topaz mortar]

what if you drag the prefab in your scene? is it active?

[weak talon]

yeah

[topaz mortar]

then you have code somewhere setting it to inactive 😛

[queen adder]

alright thanks

[weak talon]

is that the only way it can be set to inactive? if i have it in code set to inactive?

because im 100% sure i do not have any setactive codes anywhere

[topaz mortar]

ctrl f your project for SetActive(false)

[weak talon]

yeah i actually did that

[eternal needle]

if you're talking about setting up a p2p connection then sure, that is not the hard part. actual networking is still not easy by any means

[weak talon]

how. I put gameObject.setactive(true) in void UPDATE in the bullet script and it still is set to inactive

[topaz mortar]

but unity has tools now that do all the networking for you?

[topaz mortar]

is it something in the network component? don't know much about that

[weak talon]

yeah, thats what im thinking it basically has to have something to do with the network stuff. If im being honest i also dont know too much about it aswell

[topaz mortar]

try deactivating the network component and see if your bullet works

[eternal needle]

unity NGO definitely does not do everything for you at all. Setting up a connection is not what i am referring to, i am talking about the actual code

[topaz mortar]

but like bawsi is saying, multiplayer is hard 🙂

[weak talon]

nothing really works when i disable it

[topaz mortar]

NGO? I've seen some tutorials on Multiplay and it looks like it just does everything for you
but I didn't go very deep
and yeah it will still be much harder than a single player game even with all the tools

[weak talon]

it confuses me so much because it was working like 5 seconds ago

[topaz mortar]

well you did something 🙂 but I've never worked with network components so can't help with that

but it makes a lot of sense that if you miss-configure the network component the bullet wouldn't appear on the client/server

[eternal needle]

you'd probably get more help in a fishnet related group (if one exists). You could try spawning a non networked prefab to see if that works, then add the network object and see if it breaks.
Honestly i suspect theres a warning or error, or something. I dont see a console anywhere in your screenshot, so I assume you just arent using it

[weak talon]

thats the only errors

[topaz mortar]

while you have an error in your code unity can't re-compile the code
so as long as you don't fix that error, your code won't update

[weak talon]

thats only there when i click play because the camera is being set to a parent of the player and it isnt instantly doing it because it only shows up the camera when i click client and server

[topaz mortar]

try a debug.log when you spawn the bullet and then another one for the active state

then keep adding debug.logs until you figure out what's happening
at least that's how I fix my bugs

[weak talon]

hoow can i make a debug.log for the active state?

[topaz mortar]

Debug.Log(gameObject.activeSelf)

[weak talon]

should it debug the state its in

like if it is active or not

ok so i just found this out. When the game is started and i drag in the bullet prefab it is set to inactive

nvm that is for everything i put in

if i put the bullet prefab in the scene then click play. it automatically sets it to inactive

[topaz mortar]

it's most likely just not set up properly for the network
it might only be displaying on the server or only on the client
or it might not be set up so it defaults to not display
time to go watch some tutorials on networking 😉

[weak talon]

i guess thats all i can really do? it doesnt make sense though i didnt do anything to make that happen, or atleast i dont think i did

[topaz mortar]

maybe you removed a piece of code that makes it active in the network
or maybe you clicked something in the network component
or maybe something in your client/server setup changed
or maybe none of that
it's impossible for anyone to tell

if it was working before, just re-do what you did earlier

[weak talon]

i did. i ctrl z all the way to the very start of my session

[eternal needle]

you need version control if you arent using it

this would've been like a 2 second issue. you look at the code in a previous commit, see the changes, done

[sour arch]

Not the right channel im sure but i cant find a 2d channel lol
Player goes behind trees in the main menu, yet in the game they're in front? Any idea why this would be? Tried trouble shooting by changing tags around and im stuck, is it a script problem or anything else?

[topaz mortar]

any recommendations for version control with Unity?

I'm currently just pushing all my files to github, but haven't really needed to use it so far

[sour arch]

I use github for my projects personally

apparently the unity built in one is quite good too, used collaborate in the past and never had issues

[eternal needle]

github as you are using, pretty much always. Git is used in every other CS field so its very useful to be able to transfer this knowledge elsewhere.
Just commit every often you make changes, I havent needed to go back to previous commits yet but at least i can if i want to

[topaz mortar]

UI/canvas works completely different from camera
in UI it's the order your objects are in the hierarchy that determines what is in front
not sure what the correct terms are here

[weak talon]

is there any other way i can go back to another commit without github or anything?

[eternal needle]

there is no commit if you arent using version control

[topaz mortar]

I've heard git is terrible for unity

but at least it should work for the scripts

[eternal needle]

also you can put a debug.log in OnDisable for your issue and try to see what the stack trace is. maybe itll tell you whats disabling your object

[sour arch]

I've never had issues with it tbh

[weak talon]

where is OnDisable?

nvm found it

[weak talon]

how can i use that to find out what is doing it

[topaz mortar]

does it save references & stuff on gameobjects? I guess those are just saved in files somewhere as well so why not

[sour arch]

From my memory yes

[topaz mortar]

I'm terrified of having something go wrong in my project and having to restore a commit LOL

[sour arch]

Its been a while since i worked on a big 3d project lol

[eternal needle]

The only issue is you cant upload very large files, but those can be shared by any other means.
I think the other solutions are garbage, the skillset arent transferrable to any other fields of work. Their "benefit" is that they are integrated with your IDE, but it is useless. There is premade GUI's like github desktop, where everything is just done in one click

[topaz mortar]

also still need to set up dev environment and database & stuff -_-

meanwhile ppl are playing my game lol

[sour arch]

I worked on a spaghetti code game with like hundreds of ui elements and it saved it all fine but that was a few years ago

i doubt it would have changed tho

[worldly jolt]

my collider isnt working idk why can someone help

[eternal needle]

yes of course it is

[topaz mortar]

#854851968446365696

do you think you have provided enough information for anyone to help you?

[worldly jolt]

no

sorry im working on it

my code is messy this is first bit

[eternal needle]

i dont know what is confusing about what i said. You should probably do some intro to c# lessons if this is confusing, especially if you are trying to do networking.

[eternal needle]

#854851968446365696 you're supposed to actually read the read-me

[worldly jolt]

that is code which just places down something and i can buy it and whatever it just for tower defense

[worldly jolt]

yea what for i read it

anyways it should change to a red colour or be not placeable but it still is placed down

[eternal needle]

ok then follow what it says..

[worldly jolt]

also that commented out bit at the bottom wasnt meant to be commented out

alr

[weak talon]

you have ben very negative all your words to me, not sure why. Also i never said it is confusing

a solution is just helping me

and not judging me presumabally not understanding that

this chat is for people asking questions and if i ask a question and you judge me you are not very good and should just not respond

[eternal needle]

what is negative in that reply? I am telling you I dont know what is confusing, your question made no sense. If you feel it is negative that i said to do intro lessons, then you are taking the wrong meaning by it.

[topaz mortar]

bawsi has not been negatie at all, in fact they have given good advice

did you bother looking up what a stack trace is or how to debug it?

we're not here to make your game for you, we're here to offer tips and advice, but you still have to do the work yourself

[weak talon]

no, i tried asking him but he just said i need to take lessons

[eternal needle]

You really cannot ask "how can i use that to find out what is doing it" and expect people know what you want

what is "that" and "it"?

[topaz mortar]

you come here to ask things after you've spend an hour trying to figure them out yourself
not because you're too lazy to google something

[weak talon]

and me and you have been talking for a while because we cant figure it out

[topaz mortar]

well the reason we can't figure it out is because you're trying to do something that is very hard and seem to lack basic knowledge of both unity and programming

[brave tapir]

hi chatgpt isnt giving me any answers that work, this is my code for flipping a sprite on its x axis based on rotation but its not working properly, sometimes it flips properly but especially when its moving down to the left it doesnt flip:

public static void Wandering(ref Vector2 targetPoint,  Vector2 centerPoint, float wanderRange, float speed, ref float direction, GameObject subject, SpriteRenderer spriteRenderer)
{
     subject.transform.position = Vector2.MoveTowards(subject.transform.position, targetPosition,   moveSpeed * Time.deltaTime);

      
      Vector2 tempDir = targetPoint - (Vector2)subject.transform.position;
      direction = Mathf.Atan2(tempDir.y, tempDir.x) * Mathf.Rad2Deg;
      
      // Flip the character based on movement direction
      if (tempDir.x < 0)
      {
          // If moving left, flip the character to face left
          spriteRenderer.flipX = false;
      }
      else if (tempDir.x > 0)
      {
          // If moving right, keep the character facing right
          spriteRenderer.flipX = true;
      }
      if ((Vector2)subject.transform.position == targetPoint)
      {
          Debug.Log("new point");
          targetPoint = RandomPoint(centerPoint, wanderRange);
      }
}

[topaz mortar]

so getting a c# basics lesson is solid advice

[worldly jolt]

https://gdl.space/odedamizuz.cpp here is my code currently this just is for a tower defense placement system it took about 45 minutes to get up to this point with a few other features also. It should change colour when it is touching a collider and not be placeable however no matter what it is still placeable and does not change colour and you can see in the console it is logging whether it is placeable every 0.5 seconds, also how much wood and stone you have but just ignore that. Ill show you a video of what happens and it is not what should happen based on the code.

there is that how i should have done it following the readme

[eternal needle]

any of the people who replied to you (including at the very beginning) could figure it out if this was their project because they would understand the advice we have said to you. You still havent said which part you are confused by, and you also claimed it was not confusing. If it isn't confusing then follow the advice #💻┃code-beginner message
If it is, then ask a question

[topaz mortar]

let it go mate, poo is probably frustrated because they can't figure out the issue
they shouldn't take it out on you, but you shouldn't take it personal 😉

[topaz mortar]

this is not nearly enough information to provide help

[eternal needle]

does it not flip at all when going down left? I would debug what tempDir is, maybe the target point (or subject) isnt where you think it is

[worldly jolt]

noone gonna help me i did what u told me to

[brave tapir]

apologies let me edit it quickly

[eternal needle]

i wasnt taking it personally, was just telling them the reality of it. I dont think i said anything negative here

[topaz mortar]

agree, seemed like friendly advice
though telling someone to go follow a course can be a bit triggering 😛

even if you're right

[eternal needle]

you have a lot of extra semicolons in your code, meaning a lot of these if statements do nothing since the statement part has ended. Is your IDE pointing out errors? I believe this would at least show a warning in mine

if (placeable); being one of those if statements

[topaz mortar]

!ide

[brave tapir]

I updated it to contain the whole function

[worldly jolt]

yea sorry i fixed them ignore them

[weak talon]

i understand i probably do need courses but the pasc guy atleast like had a chat and tried to help all of your talk has been 1 sentence saying 1 thing that is helpful then after saying try searching it up instead of giving backstory on it

[topaz mortar]

drop it

[worldly jolt]

it does it just shows where they are on the scroll bar

[weak talon]

yeah i dont even know why i said that im bored

[eternal needle]

did you try to see if it works now? because fixing the semicolons would change a lot here

[worldly jolt]

https://gdl.space/uhitarezad.cpp

no it doesnt work

i didnt have them before

[worldly jolt]

then i accidentally clicked a keybind which puts semicolons instead of commenting it out

i was just gonna test something

anyone got any ideas whats wrong

if u need more info just ask

https://gdl.space/uhitarezad.cpp here is my code currently this just is for a tower defense placement system it took about 45 minutes to get up to this point with a few other features also. It should change colour when it is touching a collider and not be placeable however no matter what it is still placeable and does not change colour and you can see in the console it is logging whether it is placeable every 0.5 seconds, also how much wood and stone you have but just ignore that. Ill show you a video of what happens and it is not what should happen based on the code.

[eternal needle]

I think the colors might all just be white now that im looking at this more

the values should be between 0 to 1

[worldly jolt]

they were red before

ill show you a test

[eternal needle]

make the colors public or [SerializeField] and just see in the inspector what they are

[worldly jolt]

im just making a test where i can manually change between the colors i have selected

give me a sec

ok i commented out the old colour changer and added a function to update which allows me to edit the color in runtime

[frozen hamlet]

I recommend handling the mouse input in your update function

[worldly jolt]

this is edited i couldnt be bothered using the website

[worldly jolt]

it is just in a function for readability tho its not really different is it?

ill post vid of what happens with new script

[frozen hamlet]

I am not sure I have never touched OnMouseDown event but I recommend using Input.GetMouseDown

[eternal needle]

i dont really get what this new method is for, where has this color variable come from and where is it being set? Still, you should do what i suggested above and see what the color actually are instead of assuming what the colors are

[worldly jolt]

@eternal needle the colors are right

it goes red

when i change it

[eternal needle]

oh you are doing that in inspector

[worldly jolt]

yea

just to change to the presets manually

color is a public string also

[frozen hamlet]

Wait new SpriteRenderer... is that something you can so in C# above the awake function...?

[worldly jolt]

yea i couldnt get the normal one to do anything for some reason

its just a reference

[north kiln]

You should not new Unity objects (except for GameObjects)

[worldly jolt]

the new just means it overriedes the normal ones

im not creating a new one

but you can do that in awake

[frozen hamlet]

I know, I was confused about the code snippet he sent...

[eternal needle]

instead of the current Debug.Log(placeable) i would just debug whats happening in Place(). one of these values probably arent what you expect and you can see which if statements it is entering

[north kiln]

There's a difference between redefining variables and creating new instances, they're redeclaring

[worldly jolt]

the issue is that these arent triggering and placeable isnt changing i know the issue i just dont know why

both objects im testing on have box colliders so it should be triggering

[north kiln]

There's a resource pinned to this channel for debugging physics messages

[worldly jolt]

no object had a rigidbody im just gonna test now if it works

[worldly jolt]

thanks vertx

oop still not working

yup it still isnt owrking

i found the issue i am using transform.position which bypasses the physics still thanks vertx

ill test tommorow cause i have to go now hopefully i remember.

[brave tapir]

here is the full code, they definitely move to the correct point they just dont always face the right direction

public static void Wandering(ref Vector2 targetPoint,  Vector2 centerPoint, float wanderRange, float speed, ref float direction, GameObject subject, SpriteRenderer spriteRenderer)
{
     subject.transform.position = Vector2.MoveTowards(subject.transform.position, targetPosition,   moveSpeed * Time.deltaTime);

      
      Vector2 tempDir = targetPoint - (Vector2)subject.transform.position;
      direction = Mathf.Atan2(tempDir.y, tempDir.x) * Mathf.Rad2Deg;
      
      // Flip the character based on movement direction
      if (tempDir.x < 0)
      {
          // If moving left, flip the character to face left
          spriteRenderer.flipX = false;
      }
      else if (tempDir.x > 0)
      {
          // If moving right, keep the character facing right
          spriteRenderer.flipX = true;
      }
      if ((Vector2)subject.transform.position == targetPoint)
      {
          Debug.Log("new point");
          targetPoint = RandomPoint(centerPoint, wanderRange);
      }
}```

[topaz mortar]

how is this function triggered?

[brave tapir]

its in the Update() of an object but this function is the Az class and is called as Az.Wandering(arguments);

Az is my shortcuts class for custom functions that i will be reusing in this and future projects

[topaz mortar]

so you call this function on every Update()?

[keen dew]

it's moving towards targetPosition but rotating towards targetPoint

[brave tapir]

i do yes

[brave tapir]

sorry I copy pasted the code of the function

    public static void MoveTowardsPoint( GameObject subject, Vector2 targetPosition, float moveSpeed)
    {
        subject.transform.position = Vector2.MoveTowards(subject.transform.position, targetPosition, moveSpeed * Time.deltaTime);

    }

so that its exposed to you, the targetPosition should be named targetPoint

[keen dew]

can you share the exact code you have, without editing it

[brave tapir]

sure thing:

public static void Wandering(ref Vector2 targetPoint,  Vector2 centerPoint, float wanderRange, float speed, ref float direction, GameObject subject, SpriteRenderer spriteRenderer)
{
    

    MoveTowardsPoint(subject, targetPoint, speed);
    Vector2 tempDir = targetPoint - (Vector2)subject.transform.position;
    direction = Mathf.Atan2(tempDir.y, tempDir.x) * Mathf.Rad2Deg;

    // Flip the character based on movement direction
    if (tempDir.x < 0)
    {
        // If moving left, flip the character to face left
        spriteRenderer.flipX = false;
    }
    else if (tempDir.x > 0)
    {
        // If moving right, keep the character facing right
        spriteRenderer.flipX = false;
    }

    if ((Vector2)subject.transform.position == targetPoint)
    {
        Debug.Log("new point");
        targetPoint = RandomPoint(centerPoint, wanderRange);
    }
}

public static void MoveTowardsPoint( GameObject subject, Vector2 targetPosition, float moveSpeed)
{
    subject.transform.position = Vector2.MoveTowards(subject.transform.position, targetPosition, moveSpeed * Time.deltaTime);

}

public static Vector2 RandomPoint(Vector2 centerPosition,float range  )
{
    // Calculate a random direction within the move radius
    var randomDirection = Random.insideUnitCircle.normalized * range;

    // Calculate the new target position within the move radius around the center
    return centerPosition + randomDirection;
}

[keen dew]

The only thing that I can see is that the direction should be determined before moving the character but that shouldn't matter until the frame when it reaches the target

[topaz mortar]

it's not really clear to me what you're trying to do
this looks like 2d left & right movement only? but I think you mentioned down/left earlier? so which is it?
add some Debug.Log() in your if statements to see what is happening and let us know what goes wrong

[brave tapir]

this is the bug

[keen dew]

    // Flip the character based on movement direction
    if (tempDir.x < 0)
    {
        // If moving left, flip the character to face left
        spriteRenderer.flipX = false;
    }
    else if (tempDir.x > 0)
    {
        // If moving right, keep the character facing right
        spriteRenderer.flipX = false;
    }

both branches set flipX to false

[brave tapir]

yeah thats a typo i already fixed

[keen dew]

but it's correct in the earlier snippet so 🤷

[brave tapir]

sorry i did an undo one too many times before posting

the second time

[topaz mortar]

? looks fine to me? what is supposed to happen?

[keen dew]

I assume it's the guy on the left who's walking backwards at the start

[brave tapir]

yup

i mean i only came here because chatgpt cant figure out the issue and i keep looking at the code and being like, i dont see anything wrong

[topaz mortar]

add some debug.logs to see if tempdir is the expected value

[brave tapir]

ok

[topaz mortar]

not sure if it's relevant
but you have a case for x < 0 and another for x > 0 - can x ever be 0? that is not handled

[keen dew]

That's normal. If the character doesn't move horizontally then it doesn't need to flip left or right

[brave tapir]

was about to say that, thanks

[sour arch]

How can i create free space text?

I wanna add a little something here but i can't find out how, tried a google but came up empty for what im aiming fro

[fierce shuttle]

If you just need text outside of a Canvas UI, there is 3D text both with legacy and TextMeshPro, under "Game Object > 3D" - if you might need more than just text to appear in the scene and not on the UI, you can change the render mode of a Canvas from "screen space" to one of the other options, depending on what you need: https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.ugui@1.0/manual/UICanvas.html

[brave tapir]

its the spookiest thing it will show in the log that its smaller than 0 but it wont flip even though we can clearly see the code telling it to flip if smaller than 0

[sour arch]

Thank you!

Damn it my unity crashed

[errant pilot]

Guys can someone explain the logic here before i break my pc

[keen dew]

The console rounds the values

[errant pilot]

ohh actually ok thank you

[ivory bobcat]

Maybe you should tell us what's wrong

If you're referring to the equality check with the last debug, it's likely due to floating point precision error. Use Unity Math f Approximately

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Mathf.Approximately.html

[keen dew]

Vectors already use that for comparison

[ivory bobcat]

Ah, my mind slipped.

Thought we were working with single values for some reason

[topaz mortar]

show your current code for the flip again

[spiral oak]

Should I use Git instead of GitHub desktop for version control?

[eager elm]

You might want to look at Extension Methods for this:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/programming-guide/classes-and-structs/extension-methods

[brave tapir]

Hey i redid the code where it has its own method that takes transform.position-lastPosition and now it works lo

Lol

Thank u for everyones help 🌸

[brave tapir]

Thats the plan

[severe drum]

im trying to make a cemra manager for a turn based game, im trying to make the camera to move a little bit in the direction of the unit that is starting a action, i have a center camera position for the group and the unit position.
i want to move the camera a little bit in the direction of unit but not center on the unit. how can i make a point of position btwn he group camera position and the unit position?

[eager elm]

that's what cinemachine is used for. It's a unity package that handles all the camera stuff. I recommend you use that instead of coming up with your own solution.

To answer your question though, you can use lerp:
Vector3 targetPos = Vector3.Lerp(position1, position2, 0.8f);
would give you a point that is 80% towards position2.

[severe drum]

yeah im using cinemachine

and thx

🙂

[hexed fable]

may i ask you something guys

[prime lodge]

does anybody has some idea how to fix this?

[slender nymph]

the two parameter overload of Instantiate expects an object and a transform to set as the parent. if you want to specify a position then you need to provide a rotation too

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Object.Instantiate.html

[slender nymph]

https://dontasktoask.com

[hexed fable]

im new here so i just wanted to know if its okay to ask questions in this channel-

[queen adder]

is it better to write your own script that will aauto adjust a rectransform's width based on a text on its child (checks every Update()) or just keep using layout groups for it?

[hexed fable]

oh

[prime lodge]

how

[slender nymph]

did you click the link i sent?

[queen adder]

it's a consistent check so, if I can do it better one way, imma go there

[sour arch]

whats up btw

[prime lodge]

yes

[hexed fable]

im new at unity, i did a movement but i wonder something, lot of unity tutorial videos has that meshed ground, how can i do that? because its too hard to distinguish around without meshes

[slender nymph]

then surely you saw the overload that accepts a prefab, Vector3, and Quaternion as well as the example code that uses that overload

[slender nymph]

this isn't a code question. but it's just a material they are using

[hexed fable]

i cant find anywere, is there any way to do this?

[slender nymph]

again, not a code question. and to do that you just use a material with that texture

[hexed fable]

okay now here goes a code question

hold on-

this happens when i try to change material

it scales the image

[slender nymph]

still not a code question

[hexed fable]

how-

[slender nymph]

if you think it is a code question, then share your code

[hexed fable]

ur right, where can i ask this thing?

[slender nymph]

#🔎┃find-a-channel

[hexed fable]

oh thanks

[prime lodge]

i dont understand you

[slender nymph]

what part of that are you not understanding?

[sour arch]

in the link he provided it gives examples

[prime lodge]

what is overload

iam not a native speaker of english

[slender nymph]

a method overload is a method that has the same name but different parameters. notice how in the link i sent there are 5 Instantiate methods immediately visible. those are the overloads for Instantiate

[bold nova]

Im trying to stop all spawning coroutines in spawner script, if session ended, someshow even when game does end and bool in script manager set to false, nothing happens in spawn script

    private void Update()
    {
        if(!sessionManager.gameIsOn)
        {
            StopAllCoroutines();
            Debug.Log("All coroutines stopped");
        }
    }

[dusty rivet]

how do i change the color of an image in code using the leantween library

[slender nymph]

if session ended
when game does end
this sounds like you're trying to call StopAllCoroutines while in the process of completely exiting out of the game. and that is not necessary, but also Update will of course not happen during that

[bold nova]

no, no. I meant when player dies. Nothing to do with exiting application

[slender nymph]

then you need to provide more context about what is actually happening at the time you expect this code to run. because i don't know if this is attached to an object that is being destroyed, whether it's a completely separate object that persists, etc

[merry spade]

    void Update()
    {
        dirX = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal");
        dirY = Input.GetAxis("Vertical");


    }
}

How can I turn those two variables into a direction vector to apply velocity into the direction the controller stick is facing?

[slender nymph]

Do you know how to create a Vector2 or Vector3?

[bold nova]

sure. There's a spawn object with a spawnScript attached, that is active all the time. SessionManager is also just an empty gameObject with session manager script. When game session starts i set bool value gameIsOn in the sessionManager to true and startInvoleRepeating to spawn spikes from it. In spawnScript in update method as long as gameIsOn == true (read from session manager script), it should allow all InvokeRepeating methods. But when player collides with a spike or an arrow EndSession in sessionManager is called, there i change the gameIsOn to false and it cancels all invoke methods. Ill send all relevant code in a sec

[slender nymph]

InvokeRepeating methods are not coroutines

you use CancelInvoke to stop those

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/MonoBehaviour.CancelInvoke.html

[bold nova]

public void StartSession()
{
........

    gameIsOn = true;
}


 private void Update()
 {
     if(!sessionManager.gameIsOn)
     {
         CancelInvoke("SpawnSpikes");
         CancelInvoke("SpawnBoost");
         Debug.Log("All coroutines stopped");
     }
 }

[bold nova]

yeah, i accidentally copied from other script

  public void EndSession()
  {
      //stop spawner from spawning anything
      gameIsOn = false;

      enemy.StopShooting();

      enemy.enemyAnim.SetBool("EndOfGame", true);
      spawner.gameObject.SetActive(false);

      loseMenu.SetActive(true);
      endScore.text = "Score:" + score;
  }

update above is in the spawnScript

[slender nymph]

please share all of the relevant !code using a bin site. these random disjointed snippets are not providing enough context to know when/where things are actually happening

Hi. I wanted to build my project, but an error pops up (there are 8 errors in total, but they are all related to the class: Editor. To be honest, I took this script from another person from YouTube, and I don't know what this Editor does or how it can be fixed.

[languid spire]

Editor scripts should be in a folder called Editor. Then they will be excluded from builds

[split dragon]

The ones on the left?

[languid spire]

how would I know? look at the scripts and movew the ones using UnityEditor

[split dragon]

Do I need to create an "Editor" folder or is it already there somewhere?

[languid spire]

Do you see one?

[split dragon]

so me need to create it. Thanks

[languid spire]

Next time don't just blindly copy code

[sour arch]

Anyone able to point me in the right direction for something?

Trying to have multiple doors leading to different rooms and i was wondering how i do it, just pointing me in the right direction would help immensely. I know how to handle scene changes normally (main menu -> scene / Scene 1-> scene2 (If there is only 1 door)) but multiple is stressing me out lol

[split dragon]

Yes, I checked everything, and everything worked in Unity itself. I'm trying to do something difficult for myself, but so far it's going through 1 place

[prime lodge]

does anybondy know why this doesnt work?

[slender nymph]

what are you expecting that to do and what is it doing instead?

or is this just your attempt at resolving the issue you asked about earlier?

[prime lodge]

it doesnt do anything

[sour arch]

well what're u hoping for?

[prime lodge]

and it should duplicate particle effect

[slender nymph]

let me guess, you're destroying this object and expecting that newly instantiated one to persist?

[prime lodge]

yes

kinda

[slender nymph]

that's why it doesn't work. child objects are destroyed along with their parent objects. and since you are using the overload that specifies a parent you are making the instantiated deathEffect a child of the object you are destroying

just pass a position and rotation instead of a transform

[prime lodge]

isnt it the same?

[slender nymph]

no for exactly the reason i just described

[prime lodge]

but how should i do it

with variable?

[slender nymph]

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Object.Instantiate.html

[prime lodge]

ok i will try it

it works😭

god thanks

you helped me so many times

In Unity Netcode, I am able to set the NetworkVariable HostID when I am the host. However, it seems that I cannot set the NetworkVariable ClientID when I am the client. Essentially, I want to set a string (ClientID) for the host from the client side. Can someone provide guidance or help me with this?

Hey all, I'm trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong when trying to load a JSON file into a struct.

In JsonLoader.cs:

{
    public static TextAsset creatureJsonFile;

    [RuntimeInitializeOnLoadMethod]
    static void ReadJSONFiles()
    {
        Debug.Log("Reading JSON Files ...");

        try
        {
            StreamReader sr = new StreamReader("Assets/JSON/creatures.json");
            Debug.Log("Read creature file done");

            creatureJsonFile = new TextAsset(sr.ReadToEnd());
            CreatureDataList creatureList = JsonUtility.FromJson<CreatureDataList>(creatureJsonFile.text);
        }
        catch (Exception e)
        {
            Debug.Log("Couldn't read creature file");
            Debug.LogError(e);
        }
    }
}```

`CreatureData.cs`:
```[System.Serializable]
public struct CreatureData
{
    public string id;
    public string creature_name;
    public string primary_type;
    public string secondary_type;
    public string tertiary_type;
    public int max_health;
    public int attack;
    public int defense;
    public int speed;
    public string sprite_path;
}

[System.Serializable]
public struct CreatureDataList
{
    public CreatureData[] creatures;
}```

`creatures.json`:
```{
    "creatures" :
    [
        {
            "id" : "0011"
            "creature_name" : "Sheel",
            "primary_type" : "Water",

            "sprite_path" : "res://Assets/Sprites/Creatures/village/flatchling.png"
        },
    ]
}

What am I doing wrong?

[slender nymph]

well for starters i hope this is just for editor tooling considering none of those paths will exist in a build

[dusty rivet]

you are missing a , at the end of the id lines. btw why not just File.ReadAllText?

Oh my god, can't believe I didn't notice that 😅

I'm still really new to Unity dev. Would File.ReadAllText replace the current use of StreamReader?

[languid spire]

yes and the new TextAsset. Read straight into a string varaible

and File.Read is std C# .Net, nothing to do with unity

[languid spire]

what about that do you not understand? The message is self explanatory

[dusty rivet]

how do i fix it

[languid spire]

did you read it? It tells you

[deep bear]

So something like:
CreatureDataList creatureList = JsonUtility.FromJson<CreatureDataList>(File.ReadAllText("Assets/JSON/creatures.json"));?

[keen dew]

Why not just make the field non-static and drag the file there in the editor. No need to read it manually at all. Especially since the way you're doing it now won't work outside the editor

[dusty rivet]

i have no clue how to check my firewall im not gonna lie

[languid spire]

yes

[languid spire]

time to learn. Start with Windows Defender Firewall

[deep bear]

I was trying to avoid using the editor 😅 would this be a problem if people tried to play the game without Unity? (If I sent them a build)

[dusty rivet]

i just got onto my firewall and i have all of the things active

[slender nymph]

yes, because as i mentioned to you earlier, none of those paths will exist in a build

[deep bear]

Oh sorry I hadn't seen this. Is this what Nitku is also talking about?

[keen dew]

yes

[dusty rivet]

it doesnt say UPD port 56638 is being used

[languid spire]

you'll need to put in a lot more effort than just that

[deep bear]

I see, thank you. So I should avoid using paths in code as much as possible?

[languid spire]

use Application.streamingAssetsPath and put your file in the Assets/StreamingAssets folder

[keen dew]

The Asset directory doesn't exist in the build so don't try to load things from it manually

You can use https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Resources.Load.html to load stuff dynamically but why would you in this case

[dusty rivet]

i restarted the editor and now it says a different port

[languid spire]

so at some point either VS or Unity or Both asked for network permissions and you said no

[dusty rivet]

is there a way i can say yes, or find why they asked for it

[deep bear]

I suppose I could use the editor instead. I was just avoiding that approach so that I wouldn't have to create an AssetLoader object and move it between scenes, but I think I should.

[languid spire]

yes, by going into the firewall and seeing which permissions are set/denied

[dusty rivet]

okay

[eager elm]

On windows, click the windows key to open the start menu, type in "firewall", open "Firewall & network protection" -> Allow an app through the firewall

[dusty rivet]

when i do that it says the settings are managed by my antivirus so i go on to my anitvirus but when i try to search up firewall on it it brings up an unknown browser then it shuts it down

i somehow fixed it

i dont even know how

[sour arch]

Hi all, just me again
Trying to configure the collider on an object to hide another object when initially hit, and to recheck if its already disabled to reenable it, this is my code below. Tried creating a boolean for the object being active but i think i'm approaching it wrong. Any help is appreaciated

Cheers!

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

public class DoorHide : MonoBehaviour
{

    public GameObject Door;

    private void OnTriggerEnter2D(Collider2D other)
    {
        Door.SetActive(false);

        if(Door.SetActive(false))
        {
            Door.SetActive(true);
        }
    }
}

[eager elm]

well, does it work?

[sour arch]

it doesnt no, it throws me the error of "Cannot convert a void to a bool"

which i amended, yet its thrown me more errors lol

[languid spire]

try Door.isActiveSelf

[sour arch]

Like this?

    public GameObject Door;

    private void OnTriggerEnter2D(Collider2D other)
    {
        Door.isActiveSelf

        if (Door.SetActive(false))
        {
            Door.SetActive(true);

[eager elm]

you could also use
Door.SetActive(!Door.activeSelf);

[languid spire]

no

[sour arch]

Im mostly confused as this is the line that is having isues
if (Door.SetActive(false))

[eager elm]

it's actually 'Door.activeSelf'
that gives you a bool that is true if the door is enabled, and false if it is disabled. You need that for your if statement

[languid spire]

because SetActive returns void. activeSelf returns bool

[sour arch]

oh right

Im not sure how to fix that

[languid spire]

show code

[cosmic quail]

public GameObject Door;

    private void OnTriggerEnter2D(Collider2D other)
    {
        if (!Door.activeSelf)
        {
            Door.SetActive(true);
        }
}

[sterile radish]

how do i access the value of a slider from a child of that same slider

[sour arch]

thats much simpler than what i tried to do lol

public class DoorHide : MonoBehaviour
{

    public GameObject Door;
    public bool isActive;

    private void OnTriggerEnter2D(Collider2D other)
    {
        if (isActive)
            Door.SetActive(false);

        else _ = (!isActive);
                Door.SetActive(true);
    }

}

all the errors went away by doing this but uh

yeah, i couldn't wrap my head around the activeself tbh, I'll have to do a bit of research on it

[languid spire]

you need some basic c# syntax lessons as well

[cosmic quail]

activeself returns true if its active, and false if its inactive. thats all

[cosmic quail]

also i edited my code i forgot the !
check it out if it works

if u do it without the ! then it sets the door active only if its already active

[summer stump]

What do you expect with that else line?

[sour arch]

thats very true lol

I've been trying to self teach but I think i may have skipped just a few important bits 🤣

my code caused me to reset to the main menu every some how?

[queen adder]

you should use events for some stuff so you dont couple stuff like MainMenu in a small component

[sour arch]

interesting, this didn't actually work

[languid spire]

of course it didn't, it is incomplete

[sour arch]

turns out i just forgot to change the build index lol

[queen adder]

should also prob do it like this:

[SerializeField]
private GameObject _door;

instead of public GameObject Door;

[sterile radish]

how do i set a text object's text to the value of it's slider parent

[sour arch]

what does the _ do?

[cosmic quail]

it doesnt work cause you still need a trigger in your scene with this script. and assign the door in the inspector

[summer stump]

Nothing. It's part of the name

[queen adder]

Just convention

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/fundamentals/coding-style/identifier-names

Private instance fields start with an underscore (_).

[sour arch]

oh right, today's a learning day. Doing my first proper attempt at a gamejam to try and force myself to learn some of the basics (small scope game)

[eager elm]

make a script with a reference to the text and a method with no return value and a float parameter. Add the method as a listener to the event of the slider's OnValueChanged event. Set the text variable of your text reference to the value of the parameter converted to string.

[sour arch]

turns out, I had set the player too close to the door in the corridor

[sterile radish]

thank you 🙏

[sour arch]

so it was resetting me to the main menu

[queen adder]

ALso it prob should be like this:

[SerializeField]
private GameObject _door;
private void OnTriggerEnter2D(Collider2D other) {
     _door.SetActive(!_door.activeSelf);
}

[sour arch]

i should rework how my triggers work

colliders wont work here lol

A raycast would be overkill wouldnt it?

[summer stump]

Raycasts need colliders..
What do you mean they won't work?

[sour arch]

i meant triggers not colliders 😅

[eager elm]

in C# you don't place you braces like that.

[summer stump]

You can. Cozy braces (aka cozy curlies 😸 ) are a style for sure. Not one recommended by microsoft, but there are many styles

    {
        textObject.text = sliderValue.ToString();
    }

[polar acorn]

Like that

[queen adder]

like what?

[eager elm]

You need to add the method as a dynamic listener to the slider, the method will be selectable twice, choose the upper one:

[languid spire]

you might want to add a string format to the ToString method

[queen adder]

its completely valid code btw

[summer stump]

They meant having the open brace inline instead of on a new line by itself

[queen adder]

oh

Thats not set in convention

Some people have new line and some people dont

[cosmic quail]

microsoft recommended tho

[queen adder]

where

[sterile radish]

oh thank you! 🙏 i never knew that was a thing

[queen adder]

ok

Use the "Allman" style for braces: open and closing brace its own new line. Braces line up with current indentation level.

[sour arch]

does switch statements work in unity?

[cosmic quail]

yes

[queen adder]

yes

[languid spire]

of course

[queen adder]

even pattern matching i think too

[sour arch]

good, didn't want 14 statements of if and else if lol

[queen adder]

var myRes = _aInt switch {
   1 => "",
   _ => "Default"
}

or

var myRes = "";
switch(_aInt) {
 case 1: 
    myRes = "";
 break;
 default: 
    myRes = "Default";
  break;
}

[sour arch]

idk just researching it atm

[eager elm]

probably a better way to handle it if you need 14 cases.

[sour arch]

trying to find better way other than if < else if < else if <etc <else

5 would be fine for if and else if right?

[eager elm]

sounds like you need a list and a loop

[cosmic quail]

sounds like you need to apply some object oriented programming actually

[summer stump]

Hard to say without knowing specifics

[timber tide]

if you're at 14 switch statements you're doing something wrong

[queen adder]

well

pattern matching turns into if else statements anyway under the hood

I think switch statements are similar too

after X statements it turns into a map

[timber tide]

pattern matching is just if else but prettier

[sour arch]

I just need to learn basic programming, trying to do that now tho lol

trial and error is the best way i learn things

[queen adder]

dw will get easier after a year

Just need to keep doing it 😄

[timber tide]

my python scripts usually do look pretty awful, but when it comes to runtime performance of your games you do want those micro optimizations

Can this only be used once?

[queen adder]

no

That is equiv to a or

So:

if(aCondition || aCondition2 || aCondition3) {

}

[sour arch]

interesting, i thought so which is why i used it but this is throwing me an error

[queen adder]

Thats because you closed it too early

[sour arch]

"Invalid expression term"

[queen adder]

remove the ) inside GetComponent<Bathroom>())

[sour arch]

ohh i didn't notice that 🤦

[queen adder]

Note how this is written

if(aCondition() || aCondition2() || aCondition3()) {

if( conditions )

[sour arch]

yeah, the conditions have their own brackets

foreach(GameObject npc in FindObjectsOfType<NPCScript>()) This gives an error cause it can't convert from NPCScript to GameObject, but how do I make it so it does work? Adding GameObject. to the start of the FindObjectsOfType<>() function didn't work and you can't add .gameObject to the end of it

[eager elm]

change 'GameObject' to NPCScript

[celest flax]

That's what I did before, but something went wrong somewhere, so I'm just going through and changing things here and there to see if anything makes a difference. Is there no way to get the game object itself from the FindObjectsOfType<>() function?

[timber tide]

npc.gameobject

[languid spire]

use a simple for loop rather than foreach

[eager elm]

.Select(x => x.gameObject) at the end.

[cerulean kestrel]

im getting kinda used to code and im wondering if this will work. if ("Gorilla Rig") is within 5 of ("Door") play anim ("DoorOpen") then play anim ("DoorIdle")

[languid spire]

as written, no

[cerulean kestrel]

how do i fix it

tho

i kinda suck

[languid spire]

you wait until the door is open before playing door idle

[cerulean kestrel]

ok so if ("Gorilla Rig") is within 5 of ("Door") then play anim ("DoorOpen") wait until ("DoorOpen") is done play anim ("DoorIdle")

[languid spire]

yep, so now translate that into c#

[cerulean kestrel]

ok

ty

1 more thing, should i delete the default void script?

[eager elm]

if you don't need them.

[cerulean kestrel]

ok ty

this good?

ok i think i fixed it

[eager elm]

don't forget to call System.Bugs = 0 afterwards

[cerulean kestrel]

it SHOULD work now right?

[celest flax]

void OnSceneLoaded(Scene scene, LoadSceneMode mode)
    {
        foreach(NPCScript npc in FindObjectsOfType<NPCScript>())
        {
            if(questProgress.ContainsKey(npc))
            {
                npc.GetComponent<NPCScript>().Progress = questProgress[npc];
            }
            else            
            {
                questProgress.Add(npc, 0);
            }
        }
    }```
I'm trying to crate a script that will store some very simple quest data (Progress) when you travel across scenes. This is so that every NPC doesn't act like they see you for the first time whenever you come back from another scene. However, what I've made doesn't seem to work, even though I've confirmed it is storing its values in the dictionary. 
It seems that whenever you come back to a scene you've already been in, Unity acts like the objects in the scene are new, since it puts them into the dictionary again even if they're already there from the last time you were in the scene. Am I going about everything here the wrong way? What could I do to possibly make it work better?

[languid spire]

really?
npc.GetComponent<NPCScript>()

[cerulean kestrel]

oh, and if it DOES work, should i attatch the script to the door?

or the door and the player

[sour arch]

any idea what could be causing my camera to tilt like this? (Using cinemachine)

[eager elm]

Well, unloading a scene destroys everything it it and loading a scene instantiates everything again. So if you script is on a gameObject in the scene it will also get destroyed, including the dictionary.

[celest flax]

Well the script with the dictionary is on an object that doesn't get destroyed on load, so that's not an issue. But do you think it would work if I instead used Transform as the key in the dictionary, and used that to see if any object "matches"?

[cerulean kestrel]

is this working, and should i attach it to the door or the player, ir both?

[rare basin]

umm no lol

go through some basic unity tutorials

[cerulean kestrel]

ive been doing that for the pst 7 hours

[polar acorn]

you writes one if statement in 7 hours?

anyone knows why i cant reference my scritpableObject?

[swift crag]

show the definition of the scriptable object class

[summer stump]

Unity already uses the Main function...
You would never use it yourself

Don't make a class called Program

The whole if line is not c# at all, it's just psuedocode

Basically nothing here is even close to right
Delete it all

[cerulean kestrel]

ok ill go to gen

[rare basin]

go through some very basics C# tutorials

[rare basin]

then go learn basic of Unity

[polar acorn]

Do you have a class called damageType?

[swift crag]

in case you missed it, "System.Bugs = 0" was a joke.

[cerulean kestrel]

oh

[polar acorn]

That checks out, what does the error say?

[rare basin]

any compiler errors? did you save? is the file name same as damageType?

[cerulean kestrel]

i just wanna know if it works

[rare basin]

this is not a code suitbale for unity

[polar acorn]

This is not code this is fantasy

[cerulean kestrel]

how do i make it sutiable

[severe drum]

it says teh namespeca dotn exit

[swift crag]

This is, at best, pseudocode

[rare basin]

i already told you

[swift crag]

This has nothing to do with C#.

blah blah blah ok back to tutorials see u in seven years

he is just trolling and we are all getting baited

just dont answer him

[polar acorn]

Yep have fun

[swift crag]

Is "Behaviour Designer Tactical" a third party asset?

Perhaps it includes an assembly definition to bundle all of its code together.

[severe drum]

still its the namespace not existing, but it obviously exist

[polar acorn]

Does your project use assembly definitions

[swift crag]

Don't put your own code into the asset's folder. Put it somewhere else.

[rare basin]

it doesnt say that

it says type or namespace

[swift crag]

If I'm correct, then all of the scripts in that asset are bundled together. They are compiled separately from the rest of your code.

So they can't see your own classes.

This isn't normally an issue, because third-party assets would have no clue what classes exist in your game anyway

(how would they know?)

[severe drum]

what, so i can just copy teh script make a new file paste teh scritp and it works?

[swift crag]

Perhaps. I'm not sure what you're doing there.

Are you creating a new node/behavior/etc. for this system?

If you're trying to modify existing code, it won't be so simple.

[severe drum]

no, the health script is a LDamagable

but yeah i will try to jsut recreate it

[severe drum]

yeah im customizaing a simplescript tehre

[swift crag]

If you want to modify code from the asset, then you can't move the file out of the asset's folder

because that change which assembly it goes into

and any other code that depended on it existing will not be able to see it

[severe drum]

yap, changign it to another fiel solved the problem, good thign im still on prototype phase and didnt needed to change to many references

thx for the help

[sage mirage]

Hey, guys! I want to save my audio settings in options scene when I am in play mode and when I get out to reset them back to default how to do that?

[golden otter]

you can use PlayerPrefs

[sage mirage]

I mean I know how to save my settings but I dont know how to reset them back to default when getting out

[golden otter]

there's a method for monobehaviours which is OnApplicationQuit

[stuck palm]

is a dictionary serialisable?

[golden otter]

nope

[stuck palm]

zamn

thanks

[sage mirage]

So, I can use OnApplicationQuit to reset my settings? So, where I have my reset settings method I do have to use that inside OnApplicationQuit()?

[golden otter]

yes

[sage mirage]

@golden otter Does it work only for quit button or whenever I am clicking play mode on the editor?

or for both of them?

[golden otter]

if for quit button you mean the close operation on the exported build yes

[sage mirage]

I mean in my user interface I have quit button, so whenever player clicks that button to get out of the game. I want to have saved settings on my game when I am in and when getting out to reset those settings to default. That what you said doesn't work actually.

I tried to use that OnApplicationQuit() but nothing

[golden otter]

if when clicking the quit UI button it calls Application.Exit, theoretically should work

lemme try

i tried to print a log in the console when exiting the application and it works, could you show the relative code?

[sage mirage]

 {
     StartCoroutine(QuitAfterDelay());
 }


 IEnumerator QuitAfterDelay()
 {
     yield return new WaitForSeconds(quitButtonDelay);
     Application.Quit();
     EditorApplication.ExitPlaymode();
     settingsManager.ResetSettings();
     Debug.Log("Game quits and editor play mode stops!");
 }```

I have that two methods for quitting the first one is the main method and the second one is the method to quit after a delay for my button to make it look smoother.

[golden otter]

the resetsettings should be called before Application.Quit

or you could use the method OnApplicationQuit

[sage mirage]

Oh you are correct!

That makes sense you cannot reset settings if you have quitted already XD

[queen adder]

i generally do hold the coroutine object incase users hit StartCoroutine twice

.e.g.

if(_currentCoroutine != null) {
    StopCoroutine(_currentCoroutine);
}
_currentCoroutine = StartCoroutine(QuitAfterDelay());

in your case you most likely dont want to even stop it

but if(_currentCoroutine != null) return;

[rare basin]

fyi, doing StopCoroutine() wont make currentCoroutine null

so the user can still start the coroutine multiple time

it should either set the _currentCoroutine to null, or just do

if(_currentCoroutine == null)
{
    _ currentCoroutine = StartCoroutine(QuitAfterDelay());
}

this way it will start only once even if the user spams the button or whatever

[stuck palm]

can you add scripts to an object in code?

[summer stump]

myObject.AddComponent<ScriptName>()

[rare basin]

components?

yes

[stuck palm]

I want to make an item system where a player can pick up and drop one item at a time, and if the player drops one item onto another they get crafted into a new item. would this be a good start towards that goal?

[queen adder]

dont need to be abstract

you have no abstract methods

[rare basin]

[rare basin]

he doesnt need to

abstract is good in this case

as you don't want instantiate or add just Item

[stuck palm]

i will be making a method where you try to craft

[rare basin]

as this will be a base class for other items

but i wouldnt do it as a monobehaviour

you could do it as a scriptable object

sorry, you can have Item monobehaviour

[summer stump]

Agreed. Abstract poco would be good here

[rare basin]

but also can have SO like ItemData

where you put all the info for the item

name, isStackable etc

[queen adder]

Ah fair point

[rare basin]

also you should get familiar with serializable dictionaries

game changing tbh

[stuck palm]

basically, the player will only be able to hold one at a time in their hands, and if they drop one onto the other it turns into another one. thats why i wanted to know if i could add or remove components, because i wanted to, say, remove the ribbon component and add a bandage component

[rare basin]

still, doing all the item data in scriptable object will be much easier

and more readable and extendable

and if you want to change the item name, you just go into the scriptable object of that item

and change it there

[queen adder]

I do something like this:
https://configapi.dev.kitsumon.net/api/Config/GetCrystalConfig
https://configapi.dev.kitsumon.net/api/Config/GetUpgradableConfig

So i have a base Item class, then have ItemType inside it. It can be CrystalItem or UpgradableItem etc....
To get the definitions attached to class its a API call on startup

Each item is assigned a ID

[stuck palm]

sounds good, but how would i make the scriptable objects talk to the gameobjects in the game?

[rare basin]

abstract class Item : MonoBehaviour
{
   public ItemData itemData
 
   // methods
}

[stuck palm]

ohh

i see actually

that makes it a lot easier

[rare basin]

then you can acces your item.itemData.itemName etc

[stuck palm]

yeah yeah

[queen adder]

:\

[stuck palm]

that sounds good

[rare basin]

you can also make an interface for the Items @stuck palm

[queen adder]

Dont use public ItemData itemData

[rare basin]

ICraftable for example

[queen adder]

firstly your naming convention for public fields is incorrect, secondly public fields are not advised in c# convention

Whats 🤔 about this. Where in software do you see people using a load of public variables

[rare basin]

naming conventions are up to him

[queen adder]

Use a property over public variables

[rare basin]

he doesnt need to follow the advised c# conventions

[stuck palm]

thank you this is good, my brain cogs are turning now LOL

[rare basin]

he can use whatever he wants 🤷

[queen adder]

And also Pascal case any public variables

[rare basin]

np lmk if you need any more help

[queen adder]

Im only advising as per guidelines

[rare basin]

you aren't advising by saying "don't use ..."

you impose him to do the stuff you do

[queen adder]

please re-read

better teaching the correct way than doing it wrongly

how you are doing

[rare basin]

we need more people like you 🙏

[queen adder]

yes and less like you teaching people to write public variables in their systems

[stuck palm]

i think public is necessary in this case because when the items interact they have to look at each other's data

[rare basin]

i didn't teach him anything dude

[queen adder]

You can use internal for this

[rare basin]

i just adapted tto his code

[queen adder]

If you want to serialize a field or property you can use the following:

[SerializeField]
private MyObject _myObject;

Or property:

[field: SerializeField]
public MyObject MyObject { get; set; }

[rocky canyon]

why use unity at all?

[rare basin]

i just guided him based on his code and actually helped him, instead of moaning like you, please cut the talk

[rocky canyon]

just code ur own engine

[rare basin]

yea

[queen adder]

This way you can have a public property

Hi, I'm having this problem using NavMeshPro :

"SetDestination" can only be called on an active agent that has been placed on a NavMesh.

Here is my class

using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.AI;

public class PhantomScript : MonoBehaviour
{
    private NavMeshAgent agent;
    [SerializeField] Transform target;

    private void Start()
    {
        agent = GetComponent<NavMeshAgent>();
        agent.updateRotation = false;
        agent.updateUpAxis = false;
        agent.isStopped = true;
    }

    private void Update()
    {
        agent.SetDestination(target.position);
    }
}

And there is my object :

[rare basin]

did you bake the navmesh?

[thorn fossil]

yes

[rare basin]

and is your agent placed on actual navmesh?

[rare basin]

that doesn't show anything

show the surface with baked navmesh

and the agent on it

[thorn fossil]

what does it means ? 😂

[queen adder]

agent = GetComponent<NavMeshAgent>();
        agent.updateRotation = false;
        agent.updateUpAxis = false;
        agent.isStopped = true;

Are you sure isStopped = true is not causing a issue?

[thorn fossil]

I sent the wrong one my bad

[rare basin]

show me the object in the scene view

[rare basin]

code has nothing to do with this issue

[rare basin]

and where's the agent? this red dude?

[thorn fossil]

yes

[rare basin]

did you import the navmesh 2d package

or 3d one?

is the game 2d or 3d

if it's 2d you need NavMeshSurface2D

attached to the surface

[thorn fossil]

Yeah but I'm using NavMeshPro not the Unity one

I followed this tutorial :https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HRX0pUSucW4

[rare basin]

then i have no idea if this asset supports 2D navmesh

[thorn fossil]

I think so

I'm gonna try the Unity one

[rare basin]

why not just use the unity built-in one

[thorn fossil]

Yeah thanks you

[rare basin]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DGBaEuZz-RA

[thorn fossil]

It's the same lib he's just using an older version

[rare basin]

no he's using a 2D package

and the asset you have probably is made for 3D only

if there is no NavMeshSurface2D component

[queen adder]

@thorn fossil try to remove that isStopped = true and see if it works?

[rare basin]

dude that has nothing to do with it

[queen adder]

The changeDestination docs clearly say navmeshagent should be active

Nothing hurts in enabling it

and seeing if it works

[rare basin]

SetDestination()*

[thorn fossil]

Check the description of the video I sent you Its' the same lib

[rare basin]

its not

he's using NavMeshPlus downloaded from github

not NavMeshPro from asset store

[thorn fossil]

"com.h8man.2d.navmeshplus": "https://github.com/h8man/NavMeshPlus.git#master"

This is from my manifest.json ...

[rare basin]

you said you are using NavMeshPro

[thorn fossil]

I miss named it :/

[queen adder]

it just say hi on console

are you sure that OnTriggerEnter is called at all?

anyway, your collider is not set to isTrigger

[queen adder]

yea when i pressed e on the book it goes little far

and touches it

[rare basin]

does your player has collider with isTrigger and a rigidbody?

put a debug log in the ontriggerenter to see if its even called at all

[thorn fossil]

I found why it was buggy, the pos Z was like so far away from everything else 😂

It was just that

Ive made a moveable character on 3d, i used my own script didnt use charactercontroller, so I can walk on the default Terrain unity provides but when I create a 3d square object to test, my player wont move at all

I do have rigid body on my player, the square also has box collider any ideas 🤔

[queen adder]

oh sorry i tought you answered me lol

[rare basin]

probably missing a Ground layer?

[rare basin]

yes check if the OnTriggerEnter is called at all

because i doubt it, your collider is not set to isTrigger

[queen adder]

i added hi wassup

if it says hi wassup on colse

it means it called?

[rare basin]

please
