[ivory bobcat]

So collision is occurring

[unborn gale]

srry no

[ivory bobcat]

So it isn't..

[unborn gale]

correct

[uncut holly]

following 1 by 1 ... i already checked my code from the beginning ... its only this LogicScript variable names logic that did not show up on unity

[ivory bobcat]

Show us the inspector for your rigid body component

[subtle canyon]

@unborn gale and are you sure that you have assigned tar tag to whatever gameobject you are colliding with.

[ivory bobcat]

Nothing prints so likely no collision is occurring at all

They're either not touching or cannot touch

[unborn gale]

dis

[subtle canyon]

yeah I didnt read that he changed his answer from yes to no

[cosmic dagger]

Because you haven't created it yet. Is this the first tutorial in a series or the second, third, or fourth, etc., video?

[uncut holly]

first

[unborn gale]

well I can see the bullet going over the target

[ivory bobcat]

That's the collider. Show us the rigid body component

[cosmic dagger]

Send video link plz . . .

[uncut holly]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XtQMytORBmM&t=562s

[subtle canyon]

No I am not talking about that you need to set the tag of a gameobject as well.
like this

[subtle canyon]

yeah if the debug msg is not printing then this could be the only thing happening

[uncut holly]

im slightly confused, by using the code public LogicScript logic dont i defined the variable type LogicScript and name logic already?

[ivory bobcat]

So who are you supposed to be colliding with?

[unborn gale]

green ball

[ivory bobcat]

Show us the inspector for the green ball

[subtle canyon]

nah LogicScript is probably a custom class defined by the user previously.
In this line you just create a variable of that type.
For eg int is a class previously defined by unity and you create a variable of type int by writing public int score

[cosmic dagger]

Did you create a script called LogicScript? You only defined a variable that holds a LogicScript type . . .

[ivory bobcat]

Does it have a collider?

[subtle canyon]

yeah that's what I am saying

[cosmic dagger]

You missed where they created the LogicScript class; go back and watch. I found it by skimming . . .

[unborn gale]

it has colision and rigid bdy

[ivory bobcat]

Show us the collider from the inspector

[uncut holly]

ah i see wheres the problem now i thought LogicScript is a variable type ... my naming for variables and classes are different thus resulting in runtime error

[cosmic dagger]

It is a type. When you create a new script, you create a class (of the same name). Therefore, it becomes a type . . .

[ivory bobcat]

Uncheck is trigger

[uncut holly]

yeah the 'type' i named was logic_manager ... i typed LogicScript

[unborn gale]

does nothing

[ivory bobcat]

It'll make it so collision can occur

[cosmic dagger]

The class name and the file name must match . . .

[unborn gale]

they said one of the objects should have is triger on

[uncut holly]

ah finally match and syntax error go bye bye

[unborn gale]

nothing changes nitherway

[ivory bobcat]

Trigger colliders cause the on trigger enter message to occur. For on collision enter, you need a non trigger collider.

[uncut holly]

yeah originally i though LogicScript is a variable type like int and float. now i learnt that when i create script the public class that comes along with the code means a new variable type is created

[ivory bobcat]

isTrigger will not cause the on collision enter message to occur.

[unborn gale]

nothing happens when I turn it off

[subtle canyon]

is it turned off on both

[ivory bobcat]

Well, it can't be on. You've eliminated one issue.

For collision to occur, both objects must have colliders and at least one must have a rigidbody.

[unborn gale]

yo guys, I just realised I was spectating the wrong prefab

everything is ok

[cosmic dagger]

Your IDE would've highlighted that, pointing out the issue. This could have been avoided entirely. You need to set that up . . .

[ivory bobcat]

It's actually required to get help here - seriously.

[uncut holly]

does this count

[cosmic dagger]

That's part of it. Unity needs to be connected with your IDE. Intellisense and autocomplete should work . . .

[pastel sinew]

Can someone give me an explanation as to why one would handle the rotation of a rigidbody in Update() and the elevation in FixedUpdate() when using the rb for a player character?

Saw it in an article on Medium.

[rich adder]

its wrong, both should be handled in fixedupdate

[eternal needle]

Typically you want your player to rotate instantly based off the camera direction. If using torque which respects physics, it might feel laggy if it doesnt rotate instantly.
If they use update, then they arent using torque and just rotating it directly

[cosmic quail]

wait @eternal needle has a good point, if you move your mouse (first person game) then doesnt it interpolate it instead of being instant?

[pallid verge]

I have a cannon that shoots a projectile towards the player but when it reaches the players position on the frame that it the projectile was shot, it stops. How can i make it travel in that direction without stopping. This is the current code:

[eternal needle]

If the game is supposed to fully respect physics then you would want to use torque still.
You can probably imagine how bad it would feel in competitive shooting games if the aim interpolated to where you moved

[tough lagoon]

Also, you need to process input in Update. And rotation is perfectly fine to do there as long as you take Time.deltaTime into account

[cosmic quail]

rotating a rigidbody in update, you mean?

definitely do not want interpolating aim in ANY game, not just competitive

[tough lagoon]

Mouse input returns an absolute X/Y position, but there are other things in can return or you can access such as velocity

[unreal imp]

guys how i can make the bullet get the rotation of the gun forward and go to the forward direction? var bullet1 = Instantiate(bullet, bulletSpawn.transform.position, Quaternion.identity); bullet1.transform.localRotation = Quaternion.LookRotation(-bulletSpawn.forward); bullet1.GetComponent<Rigidbody>().velocity = (bullet1.transform.forward - bulletSpawn.transform.position).normalized * shootForce;

i wanted to generate the bullet from the gun and after center it into the crosshair

i have the idea to manage that by set the bullet to the rotation of the gun

but i had this

[tough lagoon]

Usually you want to just match the rotations, or you can use transform.forward or transform.lookAt.

But typically you just copy the gun rotation to the bullet and apply force to its transform.forward

[cosmic quail]

dont understand what this means, accessing rigidbody's velocity in update?

[spiral glen]

Is there a way to see if an object is visible or not?

[tough lagoon]

You can check gameObject.isActiveInHeiarchy. or with the renderer you can check .isVisible. keeping in mind that usually says yes to objects just out of sight too and counts for the editor camera

[spiral glen]

It won't be moving so that's fine

[tough lagoon]

[unborn gale]

why is my sprite pixalated?

[summer stump]

#🖼️┃2d-tools

[pallid verge]

could anyone help me please?

[unborn gale]

is this on start?

[pallid verge]

update

[unborn gale]

update the position of the player every frame, it is only updating once (when the bullet was shot)

[pallid verge]

thats what its doing currently

i told you it was on update

[summer stump]

MoveTowards only moves towards the second parameter. So just either make a different point further than the target or use a different method

[summer stump]

No they mean the position of the player

transform.position is the cannon round, right?

[unborn gale]

srry am just as a noob as you

[pallid verge]

yep

[pallid verge]

its alright dw, its good trying to help

[summer stump]

What is target, a Vector3 or a Transform?

Looks like v3 actually

[pallid verge]

its a vector2

[summer stump]

So the value won't update as the player moves
It is just the point when the value was captured

[pallid verge]

yep

i thought of capturing the direction as a vector2 and then making the projectile move in that direction but idk how to do it

[summer stump]

I think that is what Ashimry was talking about

[summer stump]

Vector2 dir = playerTransform.position - transform.position

That will give you a direction vector

[pallid verge]

ik that, but idk how to move it in a certain direction

chat gpt told me to add a rb to the projectile and add speed to it, you think that would work?

[summer stump]

transform.position += dir.normalized * speed * Time.deltaTime

[summer stump]

Yes, that would work better imo.
Just use AddForce using the direction and a speed value

[uncut dune]

how do I convert a number without rounding to an int like 1.89 = 1, 10.1 = 10, ...

[pallid verge]

it says you cant use += with anything other than v2 and v3

[gaunt ice]

you need to cast vec2 to vec3

[summer stump]

(int) will do a floor round

[pallid verge]

it says ambigious, i guess thats what it means

[uncut dune]

ok ty I will try

[pallid verge]

how?

[summer stump]

It just chops off everything after the decimal. Which is what you wanted?

[uncut dune]

thats exactly what Im looking for

Im making a timer for my game thats why

[summer stump]

(Vector2)

[pallid verge]

cant i just make the variable a v2

[summer stump]

I don't know what you mean?
Which variable
What I posted only used V3s already

[pallid verge]

like this

this is what gpt told me to do

but now they bounce off the walls

[summer stump]

Don't use gpt. It is awful.

But sure try making it a Vector3

What am i doing wrong? when the charactetr is not moving it doesn't play the idle animation and the issue seems to be here

[pallid verge]

you might be the new yanderedev

[fluid kiln]

i might become a yandere yes.

[pallid verge]

when i make it a v3 the code rb.MovePostion doesnt work

[gaunt ice]

is it rigidbody2d?

[fluid kiln]

yep!

if ur talking to me x.x

[summer stump]

Nah, to vl4d9

[pallid verge]

yes it is

[languid spire]

how can you expect any of that to work, it does not make sense

[pallid verge]

which seems to have made it worse because now the projectiles are affected by gravity

[summer stump]

Rb2D takes a vector2

Wouldn't addforce work better?

[gaunt ice]

no
btw you should check the value of player state, and where you update the state

[summer stump]

Yeah, a dynamic rigidbody is gonna be affected by forces
If you don't want that, just do this
#💻┃code-beginner message

[pallid verge]

but can i move a static one?

[fluid kiln]

how would you do it in a better way? the unity animator doesn;t fit my needs, it would bug out sadly

[languid spire]

your code is nonsense so fix that

[summer stump]

Sounds like you just don't want a rigidbody

#💻┃code-beginner message
Or you can make it kinematic

[pallid verge]

i made direction a v3 and it doesnt complain now

is this what u were telling me earlier?

[summer stump]

Yeah

[fluid kiln]

jeez sorry for asking for help in a code beginner channel i guess

[pallid verge]

are you making a topdown game? if so there are plenty of tutorials online on how to make the animations

[languid spire]

Just to start

 if (state.isAttacking)
        {
            if (state.isFacingUp)
            {
                animator.Play("CastingRight");
            }

how do you expect the second if to ever be true?

[fluid kiln]

yep its topdown!
Problem they all use animator and let it manage transitions and everything, i tried that but it doesn;t work so i have in mind so the only way is "bruteforcing" it :/

[fluid kiln]

its always facing a direction and the movement script registers the last direction it was facing before stopping

[pallid verge]

perhaps thats the right way to do the things, maybe you should rewrite your animations scripts if that means avoiding bad habits later on

[summer stump]

If it is in Attacking state, it will of not be in isFacingUp state

[languid spire]

you miss the point
state cannot be isAttacking and isFacingUp at the same time which is what would be required to Play the Anim

[pallid verge]

@summer stump it works but now i gotta make them destroy on impact with anything

[gaunt ice]

i think isFacingUp and isAttacking are independent boolean

[languid spire]

same state variable

[fluid kiln]

its the same but it has multiple bools

i know it sounds horrible but trust me the animator won;t do what i need it to do

so i need to build a base myself

[gaunt ice]

so where are you update the value, the booleans are not toggling is not the problem of where you check them

[summer stump]

So state is a struct or something?
That name made me think enum

[fluid kiln]

its an SO

[summer stump]

Oof

[languid spire]

Ok, the second problem is you are doing this in update, so once a set of states is run you are Playing the anim again every frame

[tawdry mirage]

what will happen if script name in unity is different from class name it contains?

[summer stump]

Well, you can do spatial queries or (and sorry to jerk you around here) you'll need a rigidbody on the round

OnTrigger and OnCollision require a rigidbody on one of the two object

[languid spire]

you'll get an error when you try to use it

[tawdry mirage]

if i try to use it as component?

[languid spire]

yes

[tawdry mirage]

is it ok to name it like that to make it look more clear in unity's explorer, like if i open some folder and i see Actor(that i use as component) and to the right there are scripts with classes Actor inherit from, all of them in sequense that matches iheritance chain?

[pallid verge]

it wont work if the rigid body is static right?

[summer stump]

Not unless the OTHER object has a dynamic rigidbody

[languid spire]

@fluid kiln btw a much better way of doing this would be to use a Flag Enum so it can contain multiple states, an array of your Animation names then use the Enum as an index into the array. No more huge if statements required

[pallid verge]

😭

[fluid kiln]

Thanks I’ll try!

[pallid verge]

i kinda fixed it, i made the rigid's body mass 1 and everything else 0, then gave the gun a tag "Gun", then did this code:

but now the projectile shoots a little from above the gun

[warm anvil]

Good afternoon. New member, eager to learn more because I know enough that I don't know enough and lastly I love creating something even if it's just for me and hopefully close friends to enjoy.

I’m using unity’s new input system and using just a gamepad. I’m using the left stick as movement. I needed to hold the left trigger to activate a cursor and move the cursor with the left stick. Do you recommend creating a new Action Map for the cursor and treat it like a UI or just put a condition in the movement script that says roughly “if the left trigger move the cursor and don’t feed rb.velocity”. With the second choice since this is my first game I’m starting to predict this might get very messy/conditional (lot of if/else). Thanks for the experience!
Ps. Feel free to let me know if this or there is a more appropriate area to ask questions such as this. Thanks!

[copper locust]

try making a gameobject and set it into the position of where you want to shoot, then take its position and instantiate the bullet in the gameobjects position

[unreal imp]

nope it still the same var bullet1 = Instantiate(bullet, bulletSpawn.transform.position, Quaternion.identity); bullet1.transform.forward = gun.forward; bullet1.GetComponent<Rigidbody>().velocity = (gun.transform.forward - gun.transform.localPosition).normalized * shootForce;

[languid spire]

right click Text, your IDE should tell you how to fix it

[pallid verge]

by "where you want to shoot" you mean where i want the shot to be shot from?

[copper locust]

do you use TMP text? or just regular text?

[copper locust]

yeah

[unreal imp]

not precise enough

[pallid verge]

im currently using the transform.position of the gun so idk how much more accurate i could make it

[copper locust]

using UnityEngine.UI; ?

[unreal imp]

anyone knows how to make my bullets more precise to the crosshair?

[copper locust]

try making an empty game Object as a child, and use its position, i guess this can help

oh it says that you need to fix the mistakes in the scripts before starting tha game

what about this one?

[pallid verge]

i dont think it will when the problem is this specific

[copper locust]

wait

[verbal dome]

Make sure that your gun shoot logic is running after all the animations/transformations to the gun have been applied that frame

LateUpdate + late execution order if needed

Or a coroutine + WaitForEndOfFrame

You said you are using the gun's position for the bullet spawn pos... I doubt your gun's pivot is at the gun's muzzle

[pallid verge]

how do i do that?

[verbal dome]

Do what

[pallid verge]

set the pivot

[verbal dome]

You don't want your gun's pivot to be at the end of the muzzle, somewhere around the rear grip is ideal

Put an empty there

Looks like you tried that already so what went wrong?

[pallid verge]

where?

[pallid verge]

i have no idea honestly

i just found another huge problem

[verbal dome]

End of the gun's barrel

Where you want the bullet to spawn

[pallid verge]

how can i set the pivot there?

[verbal dome]

Idk what you mean. You don't want the gun's pivot to be at the end of the barrel.

You just want an empty gameobject there and use that object's position to spawn the bullet

[pallid verge]

alright i get it now

[pallid verge]

nope, still doesnt work

i think its something with the rigidbody on the projectile

because it kinda does a curve before going to the player

ill show u wait

and i can confirm its because of the rb, when i removed it, the bullet goes straight

[cosmic quail]

u cant get red underlines and stuff to appear?

u using visual studio?

did u get it through the unity package manager or what?

both of them?

maybe some molecule from space hit your hardware and now it doesnt work properly

it happens

[rocky canyon]

bit flip

[pallid verge]

rarely, but it happens

[summer stump]

I'm not sure. Show your current cannon code

Show your external tools window

[pallid verge]

its because of the rigidbody in the projectile, when i remove it, the bullet travels normally

[summer stump]

I thought you were using VS, not VS Code

Show your extensions in VS Code

And do you have any error regarding an SDK in the editor?

[summer stump]

It will just say that word in a popup. If you don't see it, ignore that

[verbal dome]

Maybe the bullet is just hitting the cannon's collider or some other collider?

[verbal dome]

@pallid verge If that's the case, then check the Physics 2D tab in the settings and change the layer matrix so that bullet layer doesn't collide with your gun

[pallid verge]

projectile and gun scripts

[verbal dome]

Or manually ignore collisions between them with Physics.IgnoreCollision

[pallid verge]

is that a method?

[verbal dome]

Lol, the example script does exactly that

Ignores collisions between the gun's collider and the bullet's collider

[pallid verge]

Should i do Physics2D instead of physics?

since my game is 2d?

[verbal dome]

Oh yeah

Wait does it even exist

Yeah it does

So yep, use the Physics2D version

[summer stump]

Don't just switch randomly. Stick with VS and stop flip flopping.
Ok, so close VS, click regenerate project file in the external tools window and reopen vs

Having a working ide is a requirement to get help here btw

[pallid verge]

it works 😎

thank you

[cosmic quail]

if nothing ends up working u can just completely delete unity and vs and everything, and download them again (back up ur project tho)

    }

    public static void SetHealth(float hp, string DR, string DMSG)
    {
        Health = hp;
        deathReason = DR;
        deathMsg = DMSG;
        dmgOverlay.color = new Color(dmgOverlay.color.r, dmgOverlay.color.g, dmgOverlay.color.b, 255);


    }
}

here is my code for a fading damage overlay screen effect

when i run the game, nothing happens except i get this error

here is the

ph

oh

i'll just use gdl.space

https://gdl.space/omisozusem.cs

[rich adder]

where do you assign dmgOverlay

[rich adder]

thats not assigment

that declaring

[queen adder]

ah

ohhhhhh

[rich adder]

also static variables cant be seen in inspector therfore cannot be assigned that way

having static vars on SO is odd anyway

[queen adder]

well

[rich adder]

wait nvm

[queen adder]

im using a so to make a universal humanoid health for the player

[rich adder]

but yeah why is it static

yeah but no need for values to be static

[queen adder]

wellll

if i were to make it non static

i'd have to declare this SO in every script i have making it reference a different health value wouldnt it do that?

[rich adder]

anything that references this can copy the values over sure, but they cannot modify them because if they do it changes it for all the instances

but still no reason for it to be static at all

just make them regular public

or property with a backing field

[queen adder]

wait

the so changes its property for all instances?

[rich adder]

yes they are meant for non-mutable

[queen adder]

ohh

then there is no reason to have these be static

[rich adder]

copy the values over to another class like a poco then mutate them

[queen adder]

ill go ahead and make the changes

thank you

[rich adder]

well static would have the same side effect

if you change 1 static, you're changing the same one as only 1 exist of that field

[queen adder]

yup

[rich adder]

statics vars and SO act very similar in that matter

[queen adder]

so no need to make it static

[rich adder]

nope

[queen adder]

thank you

[cosmic dagger]

You can only see public methods . . .

How many arguments?

[rich adder]

variables in method's signature. aka inside parenthesis

Method(string imAText)

[cosmic dagger]

I should have said parameters . . .

[rich adder]

Yeah dont think those events support more than 2

in the inspector anyway, ofc with delegates you can do whatever.

[cosmic dagger]

But arguments are variables passed in (used) for the parameters of a method . . .

Then you should learn some basic c#. That's beginner stuff . . .

[rich adder]

I just showed you an example

public void Method(string thisIsParameter)```

what is the parameter type?

these are basic c# questions my guy

a type defines the object and its Type

eg. string, bool, int etc..

those are value types

etc

well then you should prob follow better teachings and learn this stuff

https://www.w3schools.com/cs/index.php
https://learn.unity.com/pathway/junior-programmer

check the pins in this channel

no one is saying instantly , if you plan on doing any dev you have to know the basics

you're trying to enter a spelling contest without knowing words

[earnest atlas]

Hi, I have an issue with basic assignment I was given. I went step by step on the guide and had objects with Rigid Body and Box collider 2D, but for some reason it doesnt interacts with any other objects with Box Collider 2D. So far what I found online are not related to my issue. It just looks like they arent working? But they are enabled.

This is box collider settings. I think all is correct here?

[sudden grove]

hi

[languid spire]

show your rigidbody

[sudden grove]

does anyone know of any prebuilt inventory systems?

[rich adder]

follow this

https://unity.huh.how/physics-messages
it will guide you through a fix

[earnest atlas]

I tried changing discrete and active

[rich adder]

search this exact stuff on this discord

the amount of times its been asked its almost like..

[rich adder]

You will see on the website why its not working

[sudden grove]

dayummm

[earnest atlas]

Yeah Im looking into it.

[sudden grove]

cause i think the last thing i want/need functionality-wise is an inventory system and thats it

[rich adder]

"an inventory and thats it"

like its a trivial thing lol

[earnest atlas]

On triggerEnter and OnCollision are different methods. I should have set the Trigger enabled?

[rich adder]

is your box a trigger?

[sudden grove]

an inventory that acts as a "zelda" inventory, you collect/unlock items that you can equip and use

[earnest atlas]

No its not

[rich adder]

so then no

[eternal needle]

an inventory is just a collection of items. Now you need to just define what an item is and you're done

[sudden grove]

im still a major beginner so i dont know really how to code this sort of stuff yet

[rich adder]

yup. most basic one you can make is a dictionary

or even a list

[sudden grove]

what wowuld you suggest for what i want

[rich adder]

Dictionary is something you should learn in general for other stuf so I'd suggest that one. List is easier though

[eternal needle]

there are many guides out there so you just need to experiment. Im not a fan of premade systems like this (since thats what you initially asked) because you'll very rarely find one that does exactly what you need. A lot of the premade systems on the asset store are garbage too

[sudden grove]

yeah theres no tutorials for prebuilt ones

[pastel sinew]

@rich adder @eternal needle @tough lagoon Thanks for your guys' answers. @eternal needle is correct that in the article the rb is rotated by changing the localRotation (image is from the article). Since the article is about using the input system for a player controlled drone, using torque might even be the better way, since quadcopter drones dont turn instantly. Lets say I use torque for the rotation and addForce for the elevation I would put both in FixedUpdate() because thats where rigidbodys go? Edit: Added link to the article: https://gamedevdustin.medium.com/drone-controls-with-the-new-input-system-in-unity-2021-f990bc0f1d47

[eternal needle]

did you try googling for any? there are definitely tutorials out there lol

[rich adder]

like I said earlier, I would recommend using Torque / MoveRotaion or even rb.rotation
inside of FixedUpdate

[eternal needle]

yea it would go in fixed update in this case, anything directly relying on physics goes there

[rich adder]

Ah yes. Medium , the most trusted source

[earnest atlas]

I was missing box collider on the bullet...

It wasnt mentioned in the guide

[sudden grove]

im trying to look everywhere but i cant seem to find the one i need

[rich adder]

pretty sure its in the last step

[earnest atlas]

nope nowhere mentioned 🙂

Just skipped

[rich adder]

wanna bet ?

[earnest atlas]

Yeah I reread the entire document

No I ment in the guide I READ

Not there

[rich adder]

well your guide sucked ass then

[earnest atlas]

Yeah this why I normally dont bother reading them and always google

[rich adder]

googling is good sure

just verify the answer across multiple sources

[earnest atlas]

But then my professor goes WhY It FeElS ThAt YoU DiDnT rEaD My GuIde

[sudden grove]

if i explain the type of inventory im looking for do you guys think you could tell me what the style is that im looking for?

[eternal needle]

there isnt really much to tell you tbh. if you dont know how to code one, and cant find a tutorial for your exact need, then you simply need to experiment with more coding.

[rich adder]

then you should say "wHo gIvE yOu a LiCeNse tO TeAcH"

shit must've come out a cereal box

[sudden grove]

cause im looking for an inventory that as i collect items it "unlocks" it in the inventory, so that whenever you need it you open your inventory, and equip in, in turn equiping the item in game

[earnest atlas]

I havent worked with C# in like a year and fogror so much its sadge.
Last I remember trying to implement DI interface.

[rich adder]

this isn't a c# thing btw. its Unity API

[earnest atlas]

scripts are in C#

[rich adder]

thats just the langauge used to interfacte with API
Rigidbody / Colliders are specific to unity in this case

[eternal needle]

we've already told you, regardless of what kind of inventory you are making, an inventory is gonna be a collection of items. The inventory is not the hard part, you must define what an item is. This part is going to depend massively on your game. And realistically no ones gonna want to hand hold you through the entire process for free, you simply need to just start coding.

[earnest atlas]

unity is mainly C++? Or C# is enough?

[rich adder]

Unity Editor runs on C++ hence why we need an API to communicate with engine in c#

[delicate zinc]

is this a unity bug or smt

[rich adder]

what are we looking at and where is the code relation

[eternal needle]

this is a screenshot of like 4 colors lol

[delicate zinc]

2 box colliders are overlapping and idk why

[rich adder]

not a code question #💻┃unity-talk

[delicate zinc]

oh

oops sorry

[teal vale]

Hey! I'm trying to achieve the sort of puppet combo style to my game, and for my enemy, I'm trying to make it so that when the player gets closer to the AudioSource, the pitch either increases or decreases. I found a video on youtube, but it's too low quality and I think he was speaking german, so I had no Idea how to follow along. Can anyone help me make this?

[rich adder]

reference the audio source, do a distance check. Grab the audioclip from audiio source, change pitch as desired

[teal vale]

in like 440p

[teal vale]

thanks for the info, unfortunately, I don't know how to do that in code. Which is why I'm here

yeah. he put 3 seconds worth of a brackeys tutorial and then his loudass mic starts blaring

no hate against the germans tho

we chillin

true, but that was back in the 40s. welcome to the modern day society

[sudden grove]

awh okay, i was looking at some last night and it was referring to items as ID's? so i refer to it as a sprite, name, and ID?

[teal vale]

alrighty then! good luck, my friend. I will also attempt to struggle with this predicament I am currently in

[eternal needle]

you would want an item to be its own class, inside that class you can hold all those things yes

[teal vale]

Oh. You're that beginnner. All good. I hope I can explain. We'll move to private dms if that's ok. I would be happy to help you with that

I don't have too long. Gotta go to a christmas party

[sudden grove]

or I could already have all these items "accessible" and then set the pickups as "events" so that once that event is triggered, the script/button is enabled in the menu?

[teal vale]

"yep. That's me. you're probably wondering how I got into this situation"

so, you want me to help you in dms?

[eternal needle]

i have no clue what you mean by this, or what that has to do with what i said above

[teal vale]

I posess the knowledge to make a sprite appear on button press, but I do not know how to change audio pitch relative to a gameobject's position

i will attempt to explain as best I can in simplistic ways

[rich adder]

well what do you have so far

should be fairly simple

[teal vale]

I honestly got nothing. I don't yet know how to do stuff like that

clamping and things like that

lol at least you want to help

i gotta go. I'll be back maybe tomorrow. then we can figure this out

see ya!

[sudden grove]

im just trying to figure out how i want this to work, cause im not making an open world type game where you can have a sort of random inventory depending on howw you play the game, no matter howw someone plays it the inventory will always be the same, like old zelda games, you go through the dungeon, go through a trigger, wwhich would be the chest, and then that unlocked it in the inventory, in which the player would be able to equip and unequip whenever they wanted

[rich adder]

right click on the component you want and click Properties

[sudden grove]

i got a tutorial from chat gpt, if i send a paste bin of what it said can you lemme know if its viable?

https://pastebin.com/15nDZaSh

[visual hedge]

heroToControl.transform.Find("HeroInventory").gameObject;
won't find that gameObject if it's not active, right?

[sudden grove]

in fact im pretty sure i have valid code from last night

[summer stump]

No, that is against #📖┃code-of-conduct sorry

[summer stump]

Pretty sure it will. Not positive though

[sudden grove]

crap i do apologise

[summer stump]

All good!

[visual hedge]

one way to find that out 😄

[sudden grove]

can i use a button as an inventory slot?

[summer stump]

Can't do that there, have to do the = part in a method

[queen adder]

ok

[summer stump]

Sure. The botton can have components added, so adding a inventory slot class to it is perfectly valid

[rich adder]

ofc

but silly

just make it a regular UI element and attach button component to it

its the same thing ig but you can better customize it this way

[sudden grove]

im really trying to understand how to put together this inventory from watching this video but hes being so vague about it

[rich adder]

inventories are not trivial, i told you

start with a baisic one..a collection

work your way up to UI n stuff

[summer stump]

Inventories are a broad topic for sure. Lots and LOTS of different ways to go about it. From a simple list, to slots, to diablo-like grids, and many variations on all three of those
Then there is the conversion between inventory item to gameObject or effect which is tough too

[sudden grove]

yeah its definitely frustrating to deal with haha

[queen adder]

https://gdl.space/ovemopafud.cs
how do i assign these variables in my SO?

i defined them in the declaration, and it was null

[rich adder]

the inspector

[queen adder]

🤦‍♂️

thanks

[rich adder]

the only ones that can be null is Image component

you should probably not have reference types outside an SO there

what is skull a texture ?

rawimage/ Image component displays the sprite/texture

[visual hedge]

When I am instantiating my hero, I want to reference those 2 gameobjects... and I am doing it like this:

          uiinput.inventoryPanelGameObject = heroToControl.transform.Find("InventoryEquipmentCanvas").gameObject.transform.Find("HeroEquipment").gameObject;```
which is giving me null reference exception. Why?

[queen adder]

skull is a image

[rich adder]

then you should store that not an Image component

[queen adder]

skull shows up when you are below or equal to 50 health and you are being hurt

akin to postal 2's UI

store?

[rich adder]

yeah store the image you want to swap although dont see a reason why those two can't just be inside a UI manager

[rich adder]

yeah when you create a variable you store info inside of it

[queen adder]

UI manager?

[rich adder]

how do we know

you havent even gievn the lines

https://unity.huh.how/stack-traces

[visual hedge]

I guess I did?

[rich adder]

thos two?
uiinput.equipmentPanelGameObject = heroToControl.transform.Find("InventoryEquipmentCanvas").gameObject.transform.Find("HeroInventory").gameObject;

[visual hedge]

yeap

[rich adder]

thats a lot of stuff to check

and you should never use transform.Find, if the item is on the child just make a direct reference to it

[queen adder]

ill look at my code real quick and get back to you

[visual hedge]

I guess I will just refference those 2 game objects in character script anjd pass it to uicontrol. Will be easier 🙂

[rich adder]

yea you can also make them props

[visual hedge]

yeah, that's what I thought about. THank you

[queen adder]

im sorry navarone im actually confused as to what you are doing

[visual hedge]

ohh I got where I made mistake anyways 😄

[queen adder]

actually it makes sense my code is actually kinda broken when it gets to the images

on the UI

i dont know what a UI manager is, is it a class?

anyways, when i declare the damage overlay and the skull, it shows a error saying that there are two types of images

the one declared in unityengine.ui and the one declared in unityengine.uielements

so i chose unityengine.ui because it let me edit the alpha of the two images

however this doesnt work

among many other errors

[sudden grove]

i have an idea for an inventory thats "not" an inventory, if that makes sense?

[queen adder]

it seems that all of the variables listed in humanoid is null given that all that happens when i access these variable is that i get an error like this

[unborn gale]

hi, I am trying to make an animation, when making a perimeter and referancing it in code it says there isnt a perimeter named (name of perimeter)

[rich adder]

where

[rich adder]

huh

[rich adder]

whats on DebugHandler line 21?

[sudden grove]

i have an idea for an inventory in which when you start the game its empty, but then as you progress through the game, you trigger an "event" in which unlocks a button in the inventory, therefore revealing the image, name, and ability to click, therefore allowing access to the item, then rinse and repeat, so the inventory would have all of the buttons premade but just disabled, and the events enable the buttons

its like unlocking keys for mobile doors as you progress through the game

[rich adder]

also told you this is the wrong type to store texture/sprite

[unborn gale]

iv spent way more time on this than I should

[sudden grove]

let me know if this makes sense @rich adder !

[boreal tangle]

does soemone know why the character cant walk with this code. I know using the input manger would be easier but I wanted to try it just keys.

[rich adder]

well then do it correct

[rich adder]

yes I understand

where is there a Building parameter

[visual hedge]

I haven't assigned uiinput in inspector

[rich adder]

so whats the actual problem ? 🤔

make what work

so reference that

then do .enabled = false on the renderer or GameObject.SetActive(false)

idk what to tell ya then

follow the tutorial better 🤷‍♂️

[unreal imp]

guys: 1.happy christmas, 2.how do i get the position of a collision between 2 objects? its for my bullet holes: ContactPoint contact = col.contacts[0]; Vector3 positionCollision = contact.point; var bulletHole1 = Instantiate(bulletHole, positionCollision.normalized, Quaternion.identity, col.collider.transform); bulletHole1.transform.LookAt(-gameObject.transform.forward);

[rich adder]

btw never use use contacts array

use the method

GetContact / GetContacts

[unreal imp]

GetContacts(1)?

[rich adder]

GetContact(0).point

my first raycast took a whole day to figure out (and thats AFTER blindly copying)

with time it will take you less and less

🏅

this will get you disqualified from medal

[rocky canyon]

I also got stoked when I made a sprite follow my cursor 😄

i get sidetracked when UI is involved.

Making the buttons juicy leads to dopamine hits just when clicking 😄

clean Console 🤤

[orchid raven]

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

public class PlayerScript : MonoBehaviour
{
    Rigidbody rb;
    public float speed;
    public float jump;
    bool jumpable = true;
    private FootstepController footstepController;
    // Start is called before the first frame update
    void Start()
    {
        rb = GetComponent<Rigidbody>();
        footstepController = GetComponentInChildren<FootstepController>();
    }

                }

        }
        rb.velocity = transform.right * Input.GetAxis("Horizontal")*speed + transform.forward * Input.GetAxis("Vertical") * speed+transform.up*rb.velocity.y;
        if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.Space) && jumpable)
        {
            rb.AddForce(Vector3.up*jump*Time.fixedDeltaTime,ForceMode.Impulse);

        {
            jumpable = true;
        }
    }
}

it works well but the jump is not always working with the same force

[rocky canyon]

zero out ur Y velocity prior to the jump

if ur travelling downwards (negative in the y) ur jump will have to fight against it.. draining off some of the Y velocity

if ur travelling upwards it compounds and makes the jump higher

[rich adder]

and take out FixedDelta time

[rocky canyon]

zero'ing it out just before the jump will fix those issues

[orchid raven]

oh wait

i will try to make it else if

it's better now

wait

nvm

jump force is not the same

[sudden grove]

guys would it be possible to when i pick up my flashlight, it equips it, and it unlocks the button in my inventory, in which i can then click the button in my inventory to destroy object?

and again to equip it?

[orchid raven]

u mean like

rb.velocity= new vector3(rb.velocity.x,0,rb.velocity.z)
```???

[modest dust]

Anything is possible if you believe hard enough

But you basically described what you need to do, so there's no need to believe, just do it

[sudden grove]

i just drew this, do you think this is viable?

[modest dust]

First I'd have to decode half of what's written there

[fleet patio]

Use draw.io maybe

[sudden grove]

im not the best at drawing but does it make sense?

[main sage]

not if we can't read it 🤣

[sudden grove]

okay lemme remake it and ill come back

[modest dust]

Easiest logic I can think of is:

• Have flashlight prefab
• On Flashlight pickup, auto-equip it and unlock button
• Once the button is unlocked do what you want

There's nothing much to really think about here

[eternal needle]

Is there even really a code question to this? makes sense in what context? like yea you can code it to work like this

[sudden grove]

well the thing is itd have to be the same object, cause if it just spawns a new one everytime you reclick it, itd just create infinite flashlights

[sudden grove]

its abit of both, like would this be codeable?

[eternal needle]

no this exact sequence is impossible to code, its never been attempted

Yes of course its possible to code, you just have to do it

[sudden grove]

i was scared then

😭

[eternal needle]

like 99% of the time when someone asks "is this mechanic possible to code" the answer is yes. you just need to code it

[modest dust]

I don't quite follow

[sudden grove]

itd probs be important to mention that i can drop objects too

so if i drop the object then just spawn a new one, rinse then repeat, then yano

infinite flashlights

unlesssss

i destroy the previous flashlight when its clicked again

[modest dust]

I still don't quite follow

If you drop the flashlight then it no longer exists in your inventory

Only on the ground

There's always just one if implemented correctly

[sudden grove]

well nah the thing is im trying to do a legend of zelda style inventory

once its unlocked its unlocked

if that makes sense

its like "abilities"

[main sage]

so then maybe dont drop stuff on floor?

[modest dust]

So basically either disallow dropping a flashlight or disable it once again if dropped.

[main sage]

or is this unlimited behaviour expected?

[sudden grove]

nah cause i wanna be able to use that later on for potential puzzles or another feature i need to tackle

[sudden grove]

nah so you could drop it

but then when you click it again in the inventory

it teleports it back to your hand

and if you click the button again whilst your holding it, then just destroy it aka "unequip"

[eternal needle]

you still dont need to spawn a bunch of items. just spawn one, everytime they want the item again just teleport it back to the player

[modest dust]

Then just reference the dropped flashlight and use that to handle the problem.

[sudden grove]

yeah thats what im saying

but in the case that they switch to another item, or despawn the item by unequiping it, i need to be able to spawn a new one when i click it

[modest dust]

Can't say much without seeing the actual code.

[eternal needle]

no you dont, just disable/enable the game object

[modest dust]

It's either private or you're trying to access it as a static field

[sudden grove]

if i disable the game object, am i not still technically "holding" it? its just not there?

or is that just an easy way of destroying it

[modest dust]

Show code where you try to access it.

Dear lord

[eternal needle]

yea basically, but the user wont see it and it wont cause any problems realistically. Its better actually because destroying and spawning a new one is worse in terms of performance (although performance doesnt matter at all in this case). By not spawning a new one, you also get to save certain information like flashlight battery percentage for example

[sudden grove]

okay i know what you mean

that makes sense

[wintry quarry]

Then what isn't working?

[modest dust]

You have to have a reference to that class instance and access it via that instance.

[sudden grove]

imma work on it real quick

cause i already technically have the code

i just need to slap it on the button

[boreal tangle]

    void Update()
    {
        walking(Input.GetAxis("Horizontal"));
        if (currentState == CharacterStates.walking) Debug.Log("walking");
    }
    public void walking(float direction)
    {
        if (direction != 0)  currentState = CharacterStates.walking;
        rd.velocity = new Vector2(direction * walkSpeed * Time.deltaTime, rd.velocity.y);
    }

Does someone know why the character with this script wont move?

[modest dust]

What's the context of what you're trying to do

[wintry quarry]

You said something about clicking on things. Presumably you'd get the reference through whatever that clicking mechanism is. But you haven't shared anything about that

[sudden grove]

@eternal needle do you by chance know which object id put into my button clicked function?

cause i need to reference a piece of code

not an object

[modest dust]

Don't multiply by deltaTime and check your walkSpeed

[boreal tangle]

whats wrong with multiplying by deltatime?

[modest dust]

Also FixedUpdate (probably)

[eternal needle]

whichever method handles showing/teleporting the object to the player

[modest dust]

It's velocity, not distance

[sudden grove]

but it only lets me drag in objects?

wait ignore me

A button? One button? This is confusing

[boreal tangle]

I thought you multiplied velocity by deltatime so it would work the same at every frame rate

[modest dust]

Basically 4m/s is 4m/s. You don't multiply it by time.

[main sage]

yeah that's real world time

not frame based

[modest dust]

If you set the position directly via transform.position

[boreal tangle]

ok ty

[sudden grove]

wait dont ignore me

i need to fill in the thingies

like the rigid bodies, box colliders etc

[true pasture]

how could i run code only when a switch statements has nothing true in it

[rich adder]

to do what with

[rich adder]

default:

[sudden grove]

to be able to find and teleport the torch to my ObjectLocation on my player

[rich adder]

whats the button got to do with that

[sudden grove]

the button needs to activate this ^^

[true pasture]

doesnt seem to work, says

[rich adder]

show me the code you're adding it to

[rich adder]

ops bad habit

remove case

myb

[true pasture]

ah thanks

[sudden grove]

can i make a script with the same code but instead of allowing myself to drag and drop, i directly reference it all in the script?

this would then do the job, without the major effort

[rich adder]

are you talking about the button?

[sudden grove]

yeah

[rich adder]

well yeah

but i still dont know what you're doing with it

[sudden grove]

clicking the button would allow me to equip the torch from anywhere, as if i unlocked it

so what imma do is set it to when i pick up the torch for the first time, it unlocks the button, and that then gives me access to the torch

like an ability in the game

[rich adder]

alright so whats the problem make an EQUP method

[sudden grove]

actually your right

its just kinda similar to what my regular pickup script does

[rich adder]

you already have the Item in the inventory/player

just equip it

SetActive(true)

or some

[sudden grove]

if i click the button, change the parent of the torch to Item location

thats how my currect code works

i mean my pickup code

[boreal tangle]

 Gizmos.DrawSphere(transform.position, col.bounds.extents.y);

does someone know why I keep getting an error when I try to put this code segment in update. it keeps saying "Gizmo drawing functions can only be used in OnDrawGizmos and OnDrawGizmosSelected" but I don't know what that means

[sudden grove]

cause as you said i already have the code to drop and pick it up

i just need to be able to teleport it to my hand

[rich adder]

so make a seperate method just for button that only equips it if its already picked up

[rich adder]

if you already picked up something its technically should be on the player already as child and SetActive to flase

[sudden grove]

imma make it so that when i pick it up it unlocks the button, if its already in my hand when you click the button then it will hide the gameobject, if im not holding it, it will equip it for me

[rich adder]

right thats basically what I said

[steady bear]

Hi
I have Remote config (field "BuildingsResources"):

{
  "MetalMine": {
    "baseProductionPerHour": 30,
    "baseMetalCost": 60,
    "baseCrystalCost": 15,
    "baseEnergyCost": 10
  },
  "MetalStorage": {
    "baseCapacity": 1000,
    "baseMetalCost": 500,
    "baseCrystalCost": 300
  }
}

Plus I have those structs (also tried with classes):

[Serializable]
public struct BuildingsResources
{
    public BuildingMine MetalMine;
    public BuildingStorage MetalStorage;
}

[Serializable]
public struct BuildingMine
{
    public int baseProductionPerHour;
    public int baseMetalCost;
    public int baseCrystalCost;
    public int baseEnergyCost;
}

[Serializable]
public struct BuildingStorage
{
    public int baseCapacity;
    public int baseMetalCost;
    public int baseCrystalCost;
}

Then I'm getting this json by:

var jsonString = RemoteConfigService.Instance.appConfig.GetJson("BuildingsResources");
BuildingsResources = JsonUtility.FromJson<BuildingsResources>(jsonString);
OnLoadConfig?.Invoke();

But in action I have empty parameters inside MetalMine and MetalStorage.
What i'm doing wrong?

[sudden grove]

but wouldnt your method then say that when you drop it it also disables it from the inventory?

[rich adder]

if you want it to be dropped then you only keep the bool that it was unlocked

[sudden grove]

i think i know what you mean

[rich adder]

if you dropped it you gotta pick it up again anyway no?

[sudden grove]

nah, thats what im saying

[rich adder]

button doesnt come into play unless you are holding it already

[sudden grove]

if its dropped then itd just teleport the object back to my hand

like the skateboard from skate 3

[rich adder]

well we call that Design Feature that you should clarify before 😛

[sudden grove]

you drop it and then whenever you want you can just thors hammer it back

[sudden grove]

i probably should

[rich adder]

so keep the reference to the object

so you can easily teleport it back

and what is even the point of dropping it if you can just teleport it back in your hand xD

[sudden grove]

really quick before i do any of this i probably should mention i dont know how to open my inventory yet, as well as freezing my camera and unlocking my mouse 😭

[sudden grove]

cause later on i wanna add a sound detection feature

cause its a horror

i wanna do a thing where you can throw stuff and a monster will hear it and run to it

@rich adder this is the furthest ive ever got in a project so im really scatter brained lmaooo

[rich adder]

well try to do one thing at a time

[sudden grove]

first thing is to be able to enable the inventory using Tab

[rocky canyon]

if(tab){toggleInventory = !toggleInventory;}

🎅 o7

[rich adder]

:krampus

😢

[sudden grove]

@rich adder how would i code that if i press tab AND the gameobject is active, then disable the gameobject?

[rocky canyon]

u say, ```cs
void ToggleThingAndObject()
{
thingToToggle = !thingToToggle;

    if (objectToToggle != null)
    {
        objectToToggle.SetActive(thingToToggle);
    }

    Debug.Log($"ThingToToggle is now: {thingToToggle}");
}```

[sudden grove]

wouldnt that be void update?

[rocky canyon]

u call it whenever u want

   void Update()
    {
        if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Tab))
        {
            ToggleThingAndObject();
        }
    }```

[sudden grove]

void Update()
{
if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Tab))
{
Inventory.SetActive(!Inventory.activeSelf();
}
}

[sudden grove]

would this work?

[rich adder]

u have extra (

[rocky canyon]

u could also just check the thing..

//do stuff that u want to do when the thingToToggle is true;}
else
{
//do stuff u wanna do when thingToToggle is false
}

[rich adder]

Inventory.SetActive(!Inventory.activeSelf); should work fine

[sudden grove]

i know this works, but it doesnt work the other way around

would i just disable it in else?

[rocky canyon]

think about why the else statement would run.. in that situation where the conditional is Inventory != null

oh and

[sudden grove]

im dying here 😭

so i can get it to disable

but then i click it again, and it doesnt enable

[queen adder]

whats the right type?

[rich adder]

did you assign debugUI and humanoid ?

[queen adder]

ahhh

hold on

i'll do that now

[rich adder]

i told you
Sprite or Texture

depending on the image

[queen adder]

ah ok

how do i edit the color?

in this tutorial, the damage overlay is image type and the color is editable

[polar acorn]

Like that

That's how you edit the color of an Image

[queen adder]

well

i cant if its a sprite no?

[sudden grove]

bro i must be doing something wrong

[polar acorn]

You would change the color of the sprite renderer

[queen adder]

how?

[polar acorn]

Like that, but with a SpriteRenderer instead of an Image

[sudden grove]

this code is only turning OFF my canvas and once its off it wont come back on

[polar acorn]

Is this script on the inventory object

[teal viper]

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/SpriteRenderer-color.html

Next time google the API docs yourself.

[sudden grove]

i think

hang on

[polar acorn]

So if the object is disabled, how do you expect the code to run

[queen adder]

im sorry i only wanted nuance

[sudden grove]

HALF AN HOUR THIS TOOK ME

WHYYYYYY

now i add to the inventory some code that essentially says, when this is active, freeze my camera and unlock my mouse

[teal viper]

There's no nuance. SpriteRenderer has a color property that changes the tint color of the rendered sprite.

It's all explained in the docs.

[sly peak]

what chat do i go to for help regarding github with unity

[teal viper]

#💻┃unity-talk I'd say.

[sudden grove]

do you by chance know why i cant drag and drop my playercam script into mt little drop down on my script?

i click on it and its only looking in my heirarchy

[polar acorn]

What type is PlayerCamScript

[sudden grove]

wait wrong thing

[polar acorn]

Two images and neither contains what I asked

[sudden grove]

sorry

im kinda neww so im not sure i understand what your asking?

[polar acorn]

What type is the variable PlayerCamScript

[sudden grove]

uhm, where would i look?

[polar acorn]

Where you typed the variable

[sudden grove]

https://pastebin.com/ZYygc84R

[polar acorn]

Why is this variable of type MonoBehaviour

[sudden grove]

i set it to that

i dont know how to set it to a script

[polar acorn]

I can see that. My question is why

[polar acorn]

Make the variable of that type

Whatever type you actually want

[sudden grove]

i dont know why im so confused

[polar acorn]

What script do you want to reference

[sudden grove]

i wanna reference a script called PlayerCam which is attached to my camera

[polar acorn]

Then use that

[sudden grove]

i did

[polar acorn]

Okay, show the updated code

[sudden grove]

https://pastebin.com/gCzUKQVU

[polar acorn]

Okay, good. Now drag in whatever object has the PlayerCam you want to reference

[sudden grove]

ohhhh

i get it now

thats abit weird

[polar acorn]

how is it weird

[sudden grove]

ion know

before this ive just been able to reference the script straight up

[polar acorn]

No you haven't

[sudden grove]

not reference the script THROUGH an object like that

[polar acorn]

You can't reference a script directly

because a script is not an instance

[sudden grove]

oh wait your right

[polar acorn]

Neither of those are scripts.

[sudden grove]

im an idiot lolll

[polar acorn]

Those are both objects

[sudden grove]

yeah i realise now

i thought i referenced it straight up

[sudden grove]

im getting an error now

[polar acorn]

Seems pretty straightforward

[sudden grove]

but theyre both set no?

[polar acorn]

Well, considering that's a custom error message you wrote, where did you put it and what causes it to print?

[polar acorn]

Well, it's in two places so it could be either of those conditions.

Is there a reason you're doing this manual null checking? Are these fields not being set a common occurrence you expect to happen in normal play?

[sudden grove]

well i havent been able to disable the script, otherwise id be successful so id assume its the top one

[sudden grove]

im kinda using chatgpt, and reading through it

[polar acorn]

How about instead of assuming you check

[polar acorn]

stop doing that

[sudden grove]

im assuming id just change the debug message

[polar acorn]

Again, why do you have those debug messages

[sudden grove]

im not sure

sorry if i seem slow

[polar acorn]

So why not just remove them

They only make errors harder to find

If those are null, they should throw an error. You aren't doing anything useful by hiding the error and replacing it with a text message that doesn't give you any context

[sudden grove]

ohhh okay

[polar acorn]

That's another custom error you wrote for some reason

Don't do that

[sudden grove]

i never wrote it, like i said chatgpt

this entire block was given to me

i just customise it to what i need

imma try to stop using it

[polar acorn]

Correction then:
That's your spam bot generated text spam that serves absolutely no purpose but to confuse that you nonetheless put in your code base

[sudden grove]

i understand

[polar acorn]

It's in your project, it's your code

[sudden grove]

well its giving me the error cause the camera script is null?

or is that because its NOT null?

[polar acorn]

Doesn't matter get rid of it and read the much more useful error message unity provides

[sudden grove]

i got rid of them and im getting no errors?

[polar acorn]

Then you're good

[safe carbon]

So the ball bounces down perfectly on to last plane i was thinking of making it reset to its original position it dropped and basically make it infinite loop ive figured out i can just loadthe scene backup to make it infinite but what would be a good way to get rid of the bounciness it carries from the last plane

[sudden grove]

but its not doing what its intended for 😭

[safe carbon]

The issue was it was giving it unpredictable bounce because of the last plane is bounced off

I cant figure it out lol

[polar acorn]

If you reload the scene it won't have any carryover momentum, it's a whole new ball

[safe carbon]

Yeah that works perfect but i want a do it without

[polar acorn]

What should it be doing and what is it doing instead

[safe carbon]

Reload

[sudden grove]

it should be disabling the script when the Inventory is open

[polar acorn]

Set the balls velocity and angular velocity to 0

[safe carbon]

Ohhh

[polar acorn]

Along with resetting the position that should zero out any momentum it has

[polar acorn]

Show the updated code

[safe carbon]

THANK YOU i was trying to turn off the bounce after it collides with last one no wonder that wasn’t working

It still had motion carried over

I am dum

[sudden grove]

https://pastebin.com/3YjgvfBB

[polar acorn]

Get rid of the null checks

If there's an error just let there be an error

Don't null check somethig unless there's a legitimate use case where those should be null

[sudden grove]

wdym?

[polar acorn]

I mean get rid of the null checks

[sudden grove]

okay i get you

[sudden grove]

https://pastebin.com/Zk4tvK8R

and heres my new code

[polar acorn]

Then this object does not have a PlayerCam script on it

[drifting burrow]

need some help with a problem. im trying to make my player teleport when entering a trigger. Im using this code and the debug.log gets executed but the player doesnt teleport to the destination. the teleport target is assigned and getting no errors prob a stupid solution im overlooking. any help is appreciated

{
    public Transform teleportTarget;

    private void OnTriggerEnter(Collider col)
    {
        col.transform.position = teleportTarget.position;
        Debug.Log("Hit");
    }
}```

[cosmic dagger]

log the name of the collided object to see what GameObject it is . . .

[drifting burrow]

i changed the code to other.CompareTag("Player") and the script is attached to the "teleporter" object

[drifting burrow]

when i imported a fps controller from asset store the script works but with my own character controller it doesnt? I've tried adding colliders and still nothing

[cosmic dagger]

your own character controller? are you using the CharacterController component from Unity?

or did you create a custom script that you use for your character controller?

[drifting burrow]

a custom script

[cosmic dagger]

your previous code will set any collided object to the teleport position because you don't check what the collided object is . . .

[summer stump]

Did you try logging the name of the collided object?

[drifting burrow]

Collided with Player

[cosmic dagger]

log the position of the player and the position of the teleport GameObject (after you assign it) . . .

[drifting burrow]

visually the player isnt teleporting at all?

[open veldt]

Hiii Is there a way to set default values for inspector objects? I have a serializable class and I want the default values to be different, but setting default values in the class just doesn't work in the inspector for some reason

[cosmic dagger]

are you sure you're looking at the correct GameObject?

[sudden grove]

but it does though?

[polar acorn]

Show the inspector of it

[polar acorn]

I don't see the InventoryState script on this object

[sudden grove]

lemme check where i put it

because the whole point is that its on the inventory i think, and its "looking" at player cam

[summer stump]

Also looks like you gave a render pipeline/shader issue.
(Pink textures)

[sudden grove]

oh nah, im making invisible walls but i kept them pink so i could see theyre location

cause i keep biting off more than i could cheww

so i go through level design to more functionality on the player

to some more level design

so im focusing on my character fully before i do level design

[sudden grove]

i just tried adding it and it didnt fix it

it just disabled it off the bat

[polar acorn]

Show the inspector

of the object

[sudden grove]

Inventory?

[polar acorn]

The one with the script that threw the error

[polar acorn]

This object has no PlayerCam script on it, as I said before

[sudden grove]

yeah but what im saying is, is its looking at the Player Cam object, to then turn off the script, sort of reaching over to it and remotely turning it off, i just tried adding it to the actual camera and it just reversed all my controls and turned off the script without letting me turn it back on

[polar acorn]

You're getting the PlayerCam script from this object

this object has none

[sudden grove]

ohhhhh

[polar acorn]

so in Start you set the variable to null

[sudden grove]

so how would i remotely turn off the script i need to turn off

[polar acorn]

Don't try to set the variable to a component on this object

[sudden grove]

so i have to do it on the camera?

aka the object WITH the script

[polar acorn]

Drag in the object you want, then don't overwrite it in code with one that doesn't exist

[sudden grove]

i dragged in the correct object originally?

[polar acorn]

It doesn't matter what object you dragged in because you change it in the code

[sudden grove]

im not sure i understand?

i mean on my next step

[polar acorn]

Look at your code

You are specifically setting that variable to the PlayerCam component on this object

Why are you doing that if you don't want to do that

[sudden grove]

ohh i see it now

im setting playcamScript variable to the GetComponent<PlayerCam>

[polar acorn]

Yes and what do you think that line does

[sudden grove]

im assuming its just a loop thats doing nothing?

literally just setting itself to itself

[polar acorn]

What could possibly be a "loop" there

[polar acorn]

No, it isn't

[sudden grove]

oh okay

[polar acorn]

it's setting the variable to the PlayerCam component on this object

which does not exist

so it's null

[sudden grove]

okay i think i kinda understand

so what would i be looking to do exactly

PlayerCamScript is referring to the script

[polar acorn]

Instead of setting the variable to an object that doesn't exist, don't

[drifting burrow]

thanks for the help. i found it is teleporting technically but you have to disable the character controller then reenable after teleportation. really weird but im guessing its because my controller doesnt use rigidbody or collider.

[sudden grove]

and i set whether its active or inactive?

[polar acorn]

That's got nothing to do with the error right now

[sudden grove]

okay well doing as you said did what i needed it to

but it wont turn back on now

[polar acorn]

Show the updated code

[polar acorn]

So, every frame, if this object is active, disable playerCamScript. If this object is not active, enable playerCamScript

Is that what you want to happen?

[sudden grove]

wait so isnt that infinitely turning it off and on

so if its on turn it off and if its off turn it on?

[polar acorn]

Is it? Do you have anything disabling this object?

nothing but what im trying to do

[polar acorn]

Why are you trying to toggle this object, when it's disabled Update isn't going to run

[sudden grove]

cause im trying to set it so that if my inventory is open, it takes that and turns off my camera

[quartz anvil]

'''cs

oop

[sudden grove]

i tried the same fix as the other script but i think its doing what i said originally

i moved it onto my player because its not gonna be turned off

[polar acorn]

So why are you still checking if this object is disabled or not

to toggle a different object

[sudden grove]

wait no hang on

this code does nothing but turns my script on and off

[polar acorn]

Right now what this script does:
Every frame, check if this object is enabled. If it is, disable the playerCam script. Otherwise, enable it.
