[sudden grove]

what im trying to do is detect whether my canvas is active, if the canvas is active then turn off my script because my menu is open, if the canvas is off then enable the script so i can look around

[polar acorn]

If you're trying to check if the canvas is acative, why are you checking if this object is active

[sudden grove]

i dont actually know hang on

let me look at the original code because i deleted a ton of stuff before

[quartz anvil]

https://hastebin.com/share/ejiqulukaz.csharp am trying to raycast from a camera to an object with a mesh and delete voxels from the mesh. works fine when clicking the bottom and 2 sides of the voxel but not when clicking the top or 2 other sides. I can link the spawner code too if needed

[sudden grove]

oh my god ive been looking at code that doesnt do what i need it to

[rich adder]

stop using generative AI then

[sudden grove]

i need to essentially check if the canvas is active then turn off my script because my menu is open, if the canvas is off then enable the script so i can look around

[sudden grove]

after that im going to

that is horrendous

i really am sorry @polar acorn ive been so confused

plus its 3am, and ive been working on this since about 9pm

[polar acorn]

Well, Merry Christmas then

[sudden grove]

merry christmas to you you absolute angel

[quartz anvil]

If anyone has some answers that would be sweet, also if i need to clarify or add more I can.

I would have done inline code but I dont have nitro

[polar acorn]

Your voxels probably have flipped normals on some of the sides, the ones that aren't detecting the raycast. If they're voxels, wouldn't it make more sense to use a BoxCollider instead of a MeshCollider?

[quartz anvil]

It's one big gameobject thats generated with one mesh, they arent individual gameobjects with colliders

[sudden grove]

@polar acorn is it possible to code it so that picking up a specific item, sets a trigger, so i can enable a button?

[polar acorn]

Ah, MeshCollider makes sense then. If it's generated, then it's possible that some of your faces have backwards normals. MeshColliders are one-sided based on the normal of the triangle.

[polar acorn]

Unity is Turing-Complete, so the answer to every "is it possible to" question is "yes". But as to how it depends on what you mean by "picking up an item" and "sets a trigger"

and also what you mean by "button"

[sudden grove]

im gonna make a legend of zelda progression/ item system, so instead of having an inventory, i want to make it so that all of the slots are disabled in my inventory, so that when i pick up the flashlight, it sets off a trigger, and enables the button, which then allows me access to the torch whenever and where i want

[cosmic dagger]

Are you using Unity's CharacterController?

[quartz anvil]

How would I know if any normals are backwards? The object generates correctly

[cosmic dagger]

What does your controller use for movement then? If not rigidbody or colliders, then how is the trigger message being sent?

[polar acorn]

If it's not an actual mesh file you can open in Blender or some other 3D software, there's not really any reliable way to view them

[rich adder]

did you generate/calculate normals when you generated mesh

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Mesh.RecalculateNormals.html

[quartz anvil]

just UV vertices and triangles

I did add recalculatenormals

[sudden grove]

on my torch, there is an equipped checkbox, so could i use this to my advantage, to set a one way equip? meaning that once its checked it stays checked? in which i could then use that to keep the button enabled, in some sort of checklist?

[quartz anvil]

Although I am only Recalculating normals after the mesh if generated, should I recalculate normals in my generation method?

[rich adder]

afaik you only need to recalucate after you modfied the mesh/verts

[quartz anvil]

yeah I also make sure to to that each time a voxel is deleted, do you think its worth the time to dink around with my vertices declarations for those faces and see if that helps?

[sudden grove]

how do i make checkboxes in my inspector?

[polar acorn]

boolean variables

[rich adder]

ahh thats beyond any of my knowledge on generated meshes soz :\

[sudden grove]

what about one way booleans?

ones that once turned on, dont turn off unless done manually?

[polar acorn]

that would be a boolean

[sudden grove]

ohh okay

[polar acorn]

nothing changes unless you tell it to

[sudden grove]

ohh okay

im just thinking

imma have a script that controls my inventory items

using booleans, in which everytime a specific item is interacted with it will tick the checkbox, therefore unlocking it in my inventory

[rich adder]

who cares about the checkbox, thats just the displaying bool inside unity inspector.

whats important is the value..

[sudden grove]

i think its an easier way of displaying the value for myself

so im thinking activating the checkboxes would be an easier way of going about what im looking for

[rich adder]

in the editor ? sure.

[sudden grove]

cause all ive gotta do is activate a bool when i pick up an item, and it stays active in my inventory then

[rich adder]

don't set it via inspector then

[sudden grove]

how would i reference a button in my code?

i tried this but ion know if it references my button?

[summer stump]

You reference a Canvas component, an Inventory class, and a PickUpControllerTorch class

Depends on where you put those scripts I guess

[sudden grove]

I need to reference the torch button, that is below the image of my script

how would i go about that?

[summer stump]

Depends on what you mean
It can be as simple as
public Button myButton

[rich adder]

[SerializeField] private Button button 😏

but yeah make sure its from UI namespace

[summer stump]

Yeah yeah lol
I am on a phone haha

[sudden grove]

i wanna directly reference that button

so would i just say public Button Torch; ?

[summer stump]

Yeah, but do it like nav said

[rich adder]

ik just bein a pisser 😂

[summer stump]

No worries lol
I'll have you know it IS my birthday though. I demand respect for the fact I was born!

[sudden grove]

what does serialize field do?

[rich adder]

it just makes private field show up in inspector ( good practice to not make everything public )

[rich adder]

is it really? what a day to have birthday ! Happy Birthday then 🎂

[summer stump]

Yep! And thanks

[rich adder]

private void OnEnable()
    {
        button.onClick.AddListener(DoSomething);
    }
    private void DoSomething()
    {
        //Something happens here..
    }
    private void OnDisable()
    {
        button.onClick.RemoveListener(DoSomething);
    }```

[sudden grove]

https://pastebin.com/dAnRch2F dont judge my code too much

i just wanna enable the torch button

[rich adder]

whenever you find yourself labeling variables with numbers like that

use a list/array

[sudden grove]

whats that?

[rich adder]

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/language-reference/builtin-types/arrays

[sudden grove]

oh i see

[rich adder]

[SerializeField] private bool[] items;```

[sudden grove]

it acts as algebra

[rich adder]

only difference is they start at 0 index

[sudden grove]

ill have to have a proper read tomorrow

cause rn its 4am

[rich adder]

so item1 is items[0]

[sudden grove]

and i just wanna get this last thing finished before i got to bed 😭

[rich adder]

also also

make a class for items

[sudden grove]

why would that make it easier?

[rich adder]

because you can store more info than just a bool, cause now you need to make a new thing for each different check you want

its gonna get you confused more

[sudden grove]

okay okay

[rich adder]

later on

[sudden grove]

how would i create a quick class for my torch?

[rich adder]

all you need is a file with public class Item : MonoBehaviour

[sudden grove]

hang on then

[rich adder]

then change torch class to Torch : Item

everything should work exactly the same except now You can store torch inside
List<Item> items;

[sudden grove]

wait hang on

i just made the script

[rich adder]

lol Class

it can just be Torch

class is implied

[teal viper]

Buttery butter

[sudden grove]

so im assuming i activate the bool from here?

[teal viper]

My name is John Smith Name

[rich adder]

You dont really need a bool after this

you can check if the list contains this torch

[sudden grove]

to be fair on the pickup script, theres already an equipped bool, so could i activate that item1 bool, when its equipped, saving me the trouble

[rich adder]

why does a pickup script have an equipped bool

[sudden grove]

i dont know but its useful

[rich adder]

oh boy..

you were gonna make a pickup controller for each object ? ?

you need to refactor this to be more generic

[sudden grove]

nah i was gonna just tailor the same one to each object

[teal viper]

Which is basically what they said

[sudden grove]

oh yeah

haha

[rich adder]

ok well if you have the class i suggested you can make it a reality

(ideally we would use Interfaces but thats too complex rn)

[sudden grove]

im just trying to get stuff working tbf

[rich adder]

so you see the RB and all that goes inside torch

[sudden grove]

yeah

[rich adder]

alr so did you make the Item class

and make Torch : Item

[rich adder]

thats not Item

[sudden grove]

so what do i do?

i have the code open

[rich adder]

look its not that hard

    public class Item : MonoBehaviour { }

    public class Torch : Item { }```

one in each file

[rich adder]

🥲

and its not correct

[sudden grove]

im so confused

each file of what?

[rich adder]

nothing confusing here

make a dam file for each class

not hard

[sudden grove]

i literally have 1 item at the moment so its just 1 class at the moment

[rich adder]

You already made scripts.. hows this anything difficult

[rich adder]

its fine..

[sudden grove]

im sorry if im abit slow

ive been at this for 7 hours

[rich adder]

take a break then lol

whats the rush

this is not a race

[sudden grove]

ion kno

[rich adder]

coding tired is never good

[sudden grove]

i just was hoping to have this 1 thing done today

[rich adder]

thats a lot of stuff you already did so far..

if you push yourself you'll burn out

[sudden grove]

cause i had a task for myself to have some sort of inventory sorted

true

[rich adder]

its almost there after you prepare these two classes

it will make everything later on easier trust

[sudden grove]

but yeah im just a little confused on what your showing me, like what makes it easier, what are we achieving?

[rich adder]

Remember this

[ruby ember]

does someone know how to make the question mark button and when i click it
it appears a text like a hint and takes like 5 seconds or 7 seconds now it dissapears

for example coin menu: you clicked the button: you need more coins to unlock it

[rich adder]

You want to have a "Generic" but common class you can identify your torch and other items with

[ruby ember]

i think i asked this before

[sudden grove]

yeah so for all 6 objects i was gonna drag the pickup object code and just repeat what i did on the torch

[rich adder]

: this symbol means these two are connected

[sudden grove]

yeah

[rich adder]

so then anything that does public class Water : Item

is now inherently an Item

[sudden grove]

i think that makes sense

[rich adder]

yes so anything with Item can be picked up and stored in the same list

eg like an inventory

[rich adder]

are you asking about a timed action or

like display a text for 7 seconds and disappear right?

[sudden grove]

i think i know what you mean

[ruby ember]

yes

[ruby ember]

like a coin game (you need more coins) and text dissapear

yes

[sudden grove]

are there any analogies you can give me to help me understand?

[rich adder]

in terms of what ? this is part of inheritance rn
think of it like uhh Biology and human being relationship

you inherit your parents that inherit their parents that inherit their parents

[sudden grove]

wwhy has stuff broken again now

[rich adder]

wdym nothing in these changes should break anything unless you did it wrong

[rich adder]

I would look into https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Coroutine.html

[sudden grove]

for some reason my inventory state thing is breaking again

it turns off everything but it doesnt turn back on

[rich adder]

you have to show what you actually did , and also lets make a thread because this is flooding convo

[sudden grove]

it literally disables my player

[true pasture]

when using add listener can I add the listener to the top priority-wise. I don't fully understand this yet but it seems to add them to the bottom of the events. (This script is competing with an event set in the inspector and going second is my understanding)

[eternal needle]

I believe the order of delegates in general cannot be guaranteed, you might need to store and manage what is invoked by yourself

[true pasture]

the order is guaranteed when you can move them in the inspector

[eternal needle]

But tbh this sounds more like a design problem if the order is an issue

[wintry quarry]

No, UnityEvent doesn't have this feature

[true pasture]

ok thanks i think i found a better way.

[queen adder]

If u use the Inspector events it will Invoke the functions from top to bottom / Whatever order u have them in the inspector

[rich adder]

no

[queen adder]

Oh am i mistaken?

My apolgies if so

[rich adder]

yes, had plenty of times where second to last would run earlier

order is def not guarneteed

[queen adder]

Oh really? is there a way guarantee the order in which the methods are invoked?

[rich adder]

dont use the inspector

[true pasture]

I thought that was true as well, since I had to reorder some things early on in my project and it fixed them. Im not using that system anymore though

[rich adder]

depends
i usually cascade them

eg instead of 1 event doing so many thing
1 script listens to this script which listens to something else

and it keeps going down

its prob ugly but it works for me atm

[polar acorn]

I'm pretty sure it'd do them top to bottom. I haven't tested it but I'm pretty sure it uses an Event under the hood, and those are deterministic

[queen adder]

Yeah im pretty sure ive tested it? i could do it now honestly

And show everyone the results

[polar acorn]

Yeah, I'd make a few functions that log a number, put them into the inspector in order, then run it a bunch of times to see if it prints them in the right order

[queen adder]

Bet

Ill post it here if anyones interested

[rich adder]

i guess it depends maybe what is you're doing ? I always for example disable the script that uses NavMeshAgent and then disable the Movescript first and then Agent Component but for some reason script threw error that navagent needs to be enabled to call Move

[teal viper]

Even if it is deterministic, it's not a great design to rely on their order.

[rich adder]

very wise

[queen adder]

I mean if u want to be invoked in a certain order going top to bottom isnt bad

[teal viper]

Each subscriber should be able to work properly regardless of what else is subscribed to an event.

[queen adder]

Thats true^^

But thats not always what u want For example if u have a button that disables itself but activates another button you would want that other button to be activated before the button you press is disabled

Having the methods invoked from top to bottom would just make sense

[rich adder]

i got mixed results with this for some reason, so i stopped doing it 🤷‍♂️

[queen adder]

I mean if ur getting mixed results then yeah for sure stop doing it

Ive never had problems with it on my end tho

[teal viper]

If events are preventing you from doing it in the right order, you shouldn't be using them there. Or using them in a different way.

[summer stump]

Why would you care about the order for that. It's all happening in one frame anyway

Oh, because the command might not run?
I think it still should?

[rich adder]

thats the thing, the invoke is but what about receiving end?

[queen adder]

I could test it and see

[rich adder]

yeah but i think with different mixed components

eg Rigibody n other mixed frames items

Inspector is ugly way to have events anyway

you cant see in code what is subscribed to event

[queen adder]

It actually will still activate that other button even if its disabled

[rich adder]

compared to doing +=

[queen adder]

So i was wrong

[honest matrix]

I'm trying to work with complex movement systems, and wanted to know if anyone used rigidbodies or controlled velocity at the root?

[summer stump]

Lots of people have. It's very common

This is a cool chart for types of movement

[honest matrix]

yeah but with or without rigidbodies?

I've heard using Rigidbodies takes away control

[summer stump]

Rigidbodies are required for forces. Velocity is a force.
You can simulate it without one though by coding it all yourself.
But AddForce and Velocity require a dynamic rigidbody

If you want more control, you can make the rigidbody kinematic and use MovePosition.

Rigidbodies are also required for physics messages like OnCollision and OnTrigger, although CharacterController works for OnTrigger and has an alternative to OnCollision called something like OnControllerHit or something

[nimble scaffold]

Merry Christmas to y'all

[feral gate]

merry christmas !

[ivory bobcat]

Did you make this flow chart?

[summer stump]

No. Hariedo from UDC did afaik. At least i first saw it when they posted it haha

Instantly stole it. Along with this one that they DEFINITELY made

[languid spire]

And it's wrong

[split dragon]

Hi. I decided to do a camera shake (rotate the x and z axes), but I had a problem that now I can't rotate the camera on the x axis. I tried to change the vector number, etc., but nothing helped. How to fix it?

Yes, the camera does not rotate only on the x axis (up-down)

Yes, she trembles when moving

[hardy mist]

what's the best way to map DB data to client assets? E.g. in a player account there is "unlockedHeroes": {}, {}, {},.
Do people usually add "assetPath" field to "unlockedHeroes" in DB to load the prefab of the unlockedHero during runtime?
Or is it some kind of ID and on the client there is a mapper like switch (id) { case1: pathToHero1 }.

[split dragon]

It's other

Oh, yeah. I accidentally wrote public float x = 0f... Thanks

And if you remove this, then swinging the camera will not work...

[eternal needle]

Somewhat unsure what you are asking for some of these things, if you're just storing IDs then it should be fine to store the ID and asset in some dictionary then just look it up based on that. Or store the ID on the asset somehow, and have a list of all the possible assets somewhere

[languid spire]

In my RDBMS I maintain a Resources table which is created at build time, that way the DB can directly convert resources references directly back into usable Unity resources

[charred spoke]

I would just store id’s in the actual DB

[hardy mist]

thanks! good idea

[languid spire]

check out https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/utilities/sql-for-unity-database-115308.
All the heavy lifting is done for you

[split dragon]

Line 31 prevents the camera from rotating along the x axis, and this line depends on the rotation value, which is in line 13. I tried to change Vector3.zero to other values, but swinging the camera does not work, but turning the camera works fine. How to solve it?

[uneven path]

Hi hii I'm trying to get the value from the user in a text mesh pro input field

So like this is what I typed out

If I type like 5

it does say I got 5

but when I try to convert it then print it again

it gives like an error

[languid spire]

change it to a TMP_InputField

[uneven path]

Damn that's wild. It works now.

Big thanks

[shrewd swift]

Hi

I got a animation that basically move the player UP
but when playing it in game it will "stick" to the ground, i think it might be because of gravity, because it stays up then goes down on the ground

is there a way to fix it without manipulating the rigidbody ?

[woven crater]

i dont know where to put interface classess. do i make a script and put every interface in there?

[hasty spire]

im tryna get a particle effect to play when i turn around, but idk how, is there a way to check if my player is flipped

[rich adder]

why not put Animation Event for each side ?

https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/script-AnimationWindowEvent.html

[hasty spire]

ty

[hasty spire]

wait so how would that work?

im reading the documentation

[rich adder]

reference particle effect, create method to Emit particle . Animation event calls that method

thats pretty much all there is to it

best way is also to select the object that has animator when viewing animation window to add Event

this way it gives you a selection box for that method

[dry tendon]

wich is the common format for the bg music of a game on android?

which is the best config for the audio on the inspector for android?

and for sound effects?

[long anchor]

i have this super simple editor script that is ment to set offsets for a held item to a scripted asset
i move and rotate the item to fit in the players hand and when i press the button the POS works fine, but the rotation is not even close how do i fix this?

https://pastebin.com/uSj4qY5A

thats whats expected

[eager elm]

are you setting the localRotation or worldRotation?

ah nvm there is your code as well

[long anchor]

I am using local

I want the rotation of the bone is under to be it's 0,0,0

[sudden grove]

guys can you help me disable a script when a condition is met?

[bitter oar]

can't you do if (condition) return; ??

[languid spire]

what don't you understand about this process? What have you tried?

[sudden grove]

its not that its just referencing the correct thing

my code was working fine last night then randomly stopped working

[bitter oar]

oh yikes

do you have a github?

cant you see which changes were made?

[sudden grove]

so what im doing is im detecting whether my inventory is open, if its open, then initiate inventory state, which locks my camera, movement, and unlocks my mouse

[languid spire]

the very nature of code is that it does nothing randomly

[bitter oar]

oh

[sudden grove]

and vice versa

[bitter oar]

why dont you go to camera script and do

if (!inventoryopen)
{

}

[sudden grove]

but for some reason instead of disabling the script

[bitter oar]

and all your code inside it

[sudden grove]

its just disabling my player entirely

[languid spire]

show your code

[bitter oar]

can you show code?

[woven crater]

For enemy types that have different enemy behaviour it's better to create prefab rather than using scriptable object?

[sudden grove]

https://pastebin.com/Hd1CbJmw

thats my inventory state code

[languid spire]

no

[languid spire]

show the Inspector for InventoryState

[bitter oar]

i've never used .enabled

...

maybe try going in to the actual scripts, and just putting an if statement, so the code of the script won't run

oh wait

im dumb

[languid spire]

so what is wrong with PlayerMovement.enabled = false; ?

[sudden grove]

thats not working?

[languid spire]

why not?

[sudden grove]

it opens my inventory for a split second then immediately closes it

[languid spire]

so post PlayerMovement script

[ancient valley]

Hi, I have created a game objec with a script etc to handle my logic of my goblin and in my game manager I'm just doing this to spawn some goblin but the default goblin is always there and i dont want him to be present by default, i want to only handle the mecanics of spawn thought the script how can I delete him from being present ?

public class GameManager : MonoBehaviour
{
    public GameObject goblin;

    void Start()
    {
        SpawnScript spawnScript = GetComponent<SpawnScript>();
        goblin = GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag("Goblin");

        if (spawnScript != null)
        {
            for (int i = 0; i < 100; i++)
            {
                spawnScript.SpawnEntity(goblin);
            }
        }
    }
}

[sudden grove]

https://pastebin.com/D78XxiTJ

[languid spire]

nothing in there that even references Inventory so your assumption must be wrong

[sudden grove]

so what do you think the issue is?

[languid spire]

no idea but it certainly has nothing to do with using PlayerMovement.enabled = false;

[sudden grove]

lemme check some of my other code

[languid spire]

it's much more likely something to do with how/when/where you set inventoryCanvas.gameObject to inactive

[sudden grove]

well i set it to be active by clicking tab, and its whenever i want to click it, so i assume its somewhere in my code

[languid spire]

maybe as well as just if (inventoryCanvas.gameObject.activeSelf) you should check 'have I alreasdy done this?' as this code is in Update

[eager elm]

drag the default goblin into your assets and delete him from your scene. To "find" him you need to add a
public GameObject myGoblinPrefab;
into your script and assign it via the inspector.

[sudden grove]

im not sure i understand?

[languid spire]

you do know what Update method does do you not?

[sudden grove]

checks the code everyframe

[languid spire]

exactly so if (inventoryCanvas.gameObject.activeSelf) is being run every frame and so is everything below it

Update is probably not where you want this code

[woven crater]

okay... then how do i instantiate a scriptable object instead of a prefab with a script inside it

[languid spire]

you dont

[bitter oar]

Okay, i need help! I'm trying to do that when the player sprints, and he turns, he "slightly drifts" to that direction instead of turning there immediately.
kinda like in mario games, its more realistic then just turning straight away.
Now, if you move the joystick a bit, it does the drift very well. but if you move it a lot, its just kinda trash. can anyone help me? here is my code:
https://hastebin.com/share/rinecadeco.csharp

Help is really appreciated!

[sudden grove]

what would be the best thing to put it under

[languid spire]

I would add this script to the inventoryCanvas gameobject and put your code in OnEnable / OnDisable

[sudden grove]

but i cant

im enabling and disabling the game object

so once its disabled i cant run the code

[woven crater]

so instantiate an empty game object then set sprite and parameter on it? if so how do i use method like follow player or go in circle to that game object?

[languid spire]

yes, perfect

[sudden grove]

to turn it back on

i dont think its an issue with placement

its an issue with code

[ancient valley]

Alright thanks and also I had this line of code to get the goblin in case I forgot to drag it via inspector, is there another way to get it because I assume this work only if the object is in the scene
And is it better to assign the variable like goblin prefab or any other variable in the start or directly using the inspector ?

goblinPrefab = GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag("Goblin");

[sudden grove]

the code is doing something its not supposed to

[languid spire]

you miss the point. Have multiple SO's, 1 for each enemy type whicch define the look/feel of the enemy, then it's just a simple task of associating the correct SO with the generic instantiated prefab

[woven crater]

was asking if the SO can also contain enemy behavior method and use it on the instantiated prefab

[languid spire]

yes

[eager elm]

You can only find objects in the scene, since the prefab is not in the scene but in the assets you should just drag&drop it via the inspector

[ancient valley]

Okay thanks make sense

[bitter oar]

can i get help?

[languid spire]

Do not cross post, choose 1 channel and stick to it

[bitter oar]

Oh sorry

Ok deleted in every channel but this

[sudden grove]

okay i got it fixed

[bitter oar]

can i get help though?

[languid spire]

I think you need to add a lot more Debugs into your code, it is impossible to say what is happening without data

[bitter oar]

what do you mean? what to debug?

i can send a video of what happens

[languid spire]

to start with, which paths are being taken in your code and what variable values are they using. Basic Debug 101 really

[languid spire]

and how would a video help me to trace a path through your spaghetti?

[bitter oar]

i was asking if you would like a video of the current outcome

1. Movement Ability Check:

• Condition: canMove
• Path if True:
• Calculates base moveDirection using camera forward and input.
• Incorporates horizontal input for non-sprinting or zero previous input.
• Normalizes moveDirection and sets its Y component to 0.

2. Sprinting and Drifting Logic:

• Condition: isSprinting
• Paths:
• Resets driftTimeElapsed if input direction changed and movement is significant.
• Updates driftTimeElapsed and applies drift effect if drifting conditions are met.
• Applies horizontal input to moveDirection in other cases.

3. Speed Calculation:

• Condition: inputManager.moveAmount > 0 (joystick moving)
• Paths:
• Increments moveIncreaseSpeed if below maximum.
• Calculates moveSpeed based on sprinting state and input amount:
• Sets to sprinting speed if sprinting and input amount is high.
• Varies speed based on running speed, max speed, and input amount otherwise.
• Applies selected moveSpeed to moveDirection.
• Resets moveSpeed and moveIncreaseSpeed to 0 if joystick is not moving.

4. Crouching Adjustment:

• Condition: crouching && !longJump
• Path: Adjusts capsule collider height and center for crouching.

5. Grounded Movement:

• Condition: isGrounded && !isJumping
• Path:
• Sets gpJump to false.
• Applies moveDirection to player rigidbody velocity.
• Resets dive-related variables.
• Key Variables:

• moveDirection: Vector3 representing movement direction.
• canMove: Boolean indicating if movement is allowed.
• isSprinting: Boolean indicating if sprinting is active.
• driftTimeElapsed: Float tracking time for drift effect.
• inputManager: Object managing input values.
• moveSpeed: Float representing current movement speed.
• moveIncreaseSpeed: Float used to gradually increase speed.
• capsCol: Capsule collider component for character.
• isGrounded: Boolean indicating if character is on the ground.
• isJumping: Boolean indicating if character is jumping.
• playerRigidbody: Rigidbody component of the character.

[languid spire]

ok, so tell me this, on the basis of what you have just posted is this
if (moveSpeed < runningSpeed)
true or false?

[bitter oar]

runnning speed is like the normal walking speed. sprinting speed is the faster one.

[bitter oar]

wdym?

[languid spire]

what I mean is it is impossible to follow your code unless you try to debug it properly

[sudden grove]

@languid spire do you by chance know how id reference my PickupControllerTorch script and access the equipped bool?

[languid spire]

that same way you have done everything else in your code

[bitter oar]

Nvm

[sudden grove]

i havent accessed a bool yet

ive used them, but i havent used a bool to enable a bool

im pretty sure i know how to access the script

i just need to know how to express it

[languid spire]

`it's simple
declare a public variable
reference that in the Inspector
in code access variable.equipped

[green island]

RaycastHit2D hit = Physics2D.CircleCast(transform.position, 1f, transform.right, 1f);
Debug.Log(hit.collider.name);

the spherecast hits the player that shoots it but it should become an multiplayer game so every player has the same layer so i cant just ignore one layer so that it doesnt hit itself

[sudden grove]

this should wwork i think

simple but it sounds viable

[fringe plover]

why when i trigger atack method it thinks that see collider is enemy?
fixed

[nimble apex]

i mean u have the whole picture and the system design here already

u just need to find out the exact code using unity documents

[bitter oar]

Talking to me?

[nimble apex]

oh debug

[sudden grove]

hi guys

im trying to freeze some restraints on a rigidbody, how would i go about it

[cosmic quail]

so how would you do it if you were making a competitive shooting game?

[bitter oar]

ok so, it is true for 35 frames since you started walking (while acceleration is happening) and then when your at running speed its false

[sudden grove]

guys it wont freeze my rotations 😭

[cosmic quail]

!dontasktoask

idk what the command is
or link

[wintry quarry]

From the inspector

[cosmic quail]

dont ask to ask
just ask

whats the porblem

change it in the inspector?

u gotta do * moveSpeed * Time.deltaTime;

not just * moveSpeed

[sudden grove]

wwait i figured it out, im freezing the wrong thing

[cosmic quail]

u using a Charactercontroller component?

rigidbody then?

but it doesnt collide with things, is that right?

do you want it to?

well there are two choices. charactercontroller or rigidbody.

oh its a 2d game..

rigidbody2d then

thats what you gotta use

you didnt but now looking at your code its quite obvious

my bad

just check out a tutorial like this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u8tot-X_RBI

[sudden grove]

okay guys i lied

[cosmic quail]

https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/16335601/59149599-7139b900-8a17-11e9-815a-e8f8114e6fb1.png

[sudden grove]

nah im going about this all rong

[cosmic quail]

thats how u freeze rotation

[sudden grove]

im trying to do it with code

[cosmic quail]

why?

[sudden grove]

instead of being awkward and freezing rotation im going to just disable the gameobject

[sudden grove]

because its for a menu

when i open it i need my character to completely freeze

[cosmic quail]

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Rigidbody-freezeRotation.html

[sudden grove]

no movement, no camera movement, and the only thing that keeps moving is the item

well

"rotating" which is then messing up the direction the torch is facing

okay i got it working

so satisfying

ITS SLOWLY COMING TOGETHER

now guys this is where i need your help again

[cosmic quail]

can u show the code?

[sudden grove]

heres some psuedocode i wrote

[cosmic quail]

looks like u didnt follow a tutorial

move the input.getaxisraw calls into Update. put the rest into FixedUpdate.
because input must be in update. and physics things need to be in fixedupdate

[cosmic quail]

u have no idea how to put any of this into code?

[polar acorn]

Velocity is an amount to be moved in one time step. You are passing it a position

[cosmic quail]

you can change velocity to rb.moveposition

and do the update and fixedupdate thing i told you, too

if u have input in fixedupdate then its gonna be unresponsive and laggy

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Rigidbody.MovePosition.html

is that not a thing in 2d?

[polar acorn]

So?

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

[cosmic quail]

its just a command that sends your character to the position you give it

MovePosition(...); not MovePosition = ...

[polar acorn]

It's a function. You call the function

You don't assign a value to it

[spiral narwhal]

Are coroutines "paused" if Time.deltaTime is 0?

[cosmic quail]

yes

[spiral narwhal]

Ah I see. Thanks

[cosmic quail]

u mean Time.timeScale btw?

[spiral narwhal]

Oh yes

[woven crater]

why it say typemismatch?

i select player gameobject in the scene

[wintry quarry]

You probably had previously assigned it when the variable type was different

Just reassign it

[woven crater]

doesnt show select game object window in the clip lol

[polar acorn]

You cannot drag a scene object into a prefab

Prefabs can exist anywhere. What value would it have if you instantiated it in a different scene?

[cosmic quail]

yeah you can only put another prefab in there

[woven crater]

i see

[cosmic quail]

if you drag it into the scene, THEN you can do this

[polar acorn]

Or if you spawn it at runtime you'll have to set it in code after instantiating it

[woven crater]

got it thank guys

[cosmic quail]

so u decided to stick with velocity instead of moveposition?

well ur previous code worked with moveposition but it seems u changed it to work with velocity

you can just write rb.velocity = vt * moveSpeed; its shorter

and its the same thing

but apart from that yeah looks good now you can move around and collide with walls. probably

[main sage]

does C# allow you to have a set of mutable objects?

[polar acorn]

Yes, as long as those objects are reference types (classes) and not value types (structs)

Even if a collection itself is immutable the objects inside it can be changed freely

[main sage]

oh i meant the objects inside are mutable

[woven crater]

i set target as player prefab inside SO and when i log it out the target position it always point to 0,0

why?

[cosmic quail]

u are checking the position of a prefab?

[woven crater]

yea

[cosmic quail]

which u havent instantiated?

[woven crater]

the white square is on the game scence in the pic

[cosmic quail]

if u have a player and in the scene and want its position then drag that player in there, not the one thats in your folder at the bottom

[woven crater]

well i cant?

[main sage]

In case i was weird with my wording, I meant actual Sets like Map

[cosmic quail]

you have to put the prefab into your scene for that

[gaunt ice]

do you now what are reference type and value type in c#?

[cosmic quail]

or assign the player via code

[woven crater]

i did then i put it in the scene but still cant drag it into the slot

[main sage]

yeah I believe so, was asking for the benefit of constant time access from a set type object

[cosmic quail]

drag it into the slot of the one in the scene

[main sage]

without it losing the ability to identify individual objects

[woven crater]

the on in the scene give me mismatch type error and the one in the asset folder return position 0,0,0

[gaunt ice]

reference type (pointer) and value type (whole chunk of data) have no effect on O(1) accessing it in hash table

or O(data size)

[sudden grove]

guys can you help me put this pseudocode into actual code?

[main sage]

how will it differentiate between 2 objects if they are effectively the same? with reference "value"?

like in java u can directly specify a field on an object used for differentiation

[sudden grove]

cause im pretty sure this is the last functionality threshold i need to finish before my character is done i believe

[gaunt ice]

first check the hash value, then compare the whole key
java has no value type

[main sage]

ah yeah

whole key?

in the case of a reference?

[gaunt ice]

compare the two keys (the keys you passed into and the key stored in hash table) byte by byte

[main sage]

oh so literally lol

and the key would be the reference value correct?

not the value pointed to by the reference

[frigid sequoia]

Kinda weird question here: for what I know, a float cannot have a null value; it becomes 0 instead; the thing is; I want for 0 to be an actual valid input you can enter (since they are coordinates) and not entering anything just tells the class to place some default values for the variables needed; there is a way of doing that? Make a "no input" and "0" be differenciated somehow on class?

[woven crater]

yeah i think scriptable object can only assign prefab only and not object in the scene

[native flicker]

i got a question, is there any way to change the color of a image with an click event?

[rich adder]

make it nullable

[main sage]

how do u do that?

[native flicker]

so ik how to create the event and all but idk if i could change the color

[rich adder]

ofc

[native flicker]

how?

[rich adder]

private int? nullableInt

[main sage]

can u do that for any value or reference type?

[gaunt ice]

value type means the data is stored "inlined", and you know java so i dont need to explain what is reference type

int[] array=new int[10];//all 10 ints stored in this array, not the pointer to 10 int

[rich adder]

its meant for values types

[gaunt ice]

reference is pointer so it can be null

[frigid sequoia]

How does that work on the unity inspector?

[main sage]

yep dunno why i asked 🤣

[rich adder]

don't think unity serializes them in the inspector

[frigid sequoia]

The idea is that I have a item I want to move and I enter the starting and ending coordinates, and it loops between then; if you enter nothing (or "0" rn...), it assumes their starting coordinates are their current coordinates and the ending coordinates are equal to the starting ones; like for example, you don't want the item to move in Z axis, so you just don't input anything there

[rich adder]

so no inputs = 0?
no sure I understand what ur doing

[frigid sequoia]

Right know is basically just interpreting 0 as null as assigning the default values in its place, but I want to be able to place 0 as an actual coordinate if I need to instead that work around it; it is posible?

[rich adder]

so what would determine it being null

typing wise

is it an input string? or where are these values inputted

[woven crater]

is this how you use Scriptable object? been studying it all day now . not entirely sure of its use but i think i can create more variant of the Enemy_normal using SO

[frigid sequoia]

I wanted to create multiple moving plataforms that loop back and forth, so instead of making a pathway or an animation, I just made a script that moves to desired position and origin position constantly; this is initially not meant to recieve any other input than what you enter in the inspector; what is doing right now is just assuming that if you left the default value the inspector gives which is 0, you didn't input anything at all there and resorts to default values

[rich adder]

make a custom struct then

[frigid sequoia]

I just want to know if I can give it some kind of "null value" from the inspector even though they are floats and are not meant to

[rich adder]

with a bool

[frigid sequoia]

Like what? A boolean that indicates if those "0" are to be considered actual zeros or null?

[rich adder]

something like that

[gaunt ice]

nullable actually is a struct with an additional bool

[rich adder]

this would be pretty easy if unity liked nullables

but apparently it doesnt serialize them

[frigid sequoia]

I think you should literally have a button next to the value in the inspector that makes it null automatically

[rich adder]

that can be done

with custom inspector

but is it worth the time? does ur logic mainly rely on inspector for this feature?

[rich adder]

maybe this?

[wind meteor]

why its dont work

[frigid sequoia]

Yeah, that would probably do it

[rich adder]

do you have a script ProjecticleGun

[gaunt ice]

public struct NameT>where T:unmanaged{
  public T value;
  public bool isNull;
  public static implicit operator T(Name<T> t){
    return t.value;
  }
  public static implicit operator bool(Name<T> t){
    return t.isNull;
  }
}
```it probably works, but idk what will happen if the T is bool

[tender hound]

looks like u want a GameObject there? i dont see a script in ur scrip folder with this name there

[wind meteor]

no , but guy in tutorial don't have this error

[rich adder]

show tutorial

[rich adder]

probably because they have that script or you copied something wrong

[frigid sequoia]

I would have it on my mind for future stuff, I don't think it is quite worth the effort right now; is just for the weird cases where I want to specifically move it to 0 in some coordinate, and I can work around thay quite easily just was wondering if there was a simple way of telling the script that I want those values to be null if I input nothing

[wind meteor]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8kKLUsn7tcg

[rich adder]

yeah you need the script

they literally said in the beginning they are working on a previous vid

just replace it with your own weapon class

[frigid sequoia]

Thanks though 🙂

did everything but still not working as i want it to work, still like this

[rich adder]

"did everything" you have to be specific on wat

also it looks like its working

[charred axle]

first picture clearly shows what does the hovered code do, mine doesn't, when i press alt+o it shows examples

"shorthand for writing vector3 0 0 1"

[rich adder]

wat so this screenshot is not yours?

[charred axle]

First is not mine as i also mentioned here

[rich adder]

screenshot YOUR VS with whole window showing

including solution explorer

[charred axle]

this is mine (hovering vector3)

[polar acorn]

And what are you expecting to see while hovering Vector3

[rich adder]

assuming this

[charred axle]

this

"shorthand for writing vector3 0 0 1"

[polar acorn]

That's hovering forward

[rich adder]

the assembly is loaded

not sure whats wrong

[rich adder]

which VS version is this 19 or 22 ?

[charred axle]

latest

[rich adder]

try Regen Project files maybe ?

in that same screen

[polar acorn]

Pretty sure that's a VS setting

[rich adder]

yeah this is internal thing prob

[charred axle]

doesnt work

[rich adder]

yeah something in ur VS setting is fdup

idk where you find that though :\

[charred axle]

being completely new, i feel like i should see this when i hover over something

so i can have better understanding as i progress

maybe something from here?

[rich adder]

yes having Summary is important

[charred axle]

as far as i know all these things about intellisense

[rich adder]

your IDE did load it though which is the odd part

[charred axle]

can it be these boxes?

[rich adder]

not likely

something wrong with XML

[charred axle]

how can i search this as? summary doesnt show up or what

[rich adder]

yeah pretty much

[charred axle]

aight ty

[green island]

i have an Scriptible Object and i want for to have an function that every has but it is different so i thought of making a script but i dont know how to link it

[eager elm]

You could either make that script also a scriptableObject or you use something like this:
https://github.com/mackysoft/Unity-SerializeReferenceExtensions

[sullen zealot]

on build some thinks are missing (some materials and colliders and tags)

in the editor run everything is fine

does anyone know what can be the cause?

[sage mirage]

Hey, guys! If I want to save my quality settings with Player Prefs, do I have to use Dropdown class or DropdownOptions class which one?

If I want to get reference to that dropdown I mean like [serializefield] private Dropdown or DropdownOptions field;

[crude prawn]

you dont have to get a reference to the dropdown you can use a public void to get the dropdown value(int)

just like a button

[sage mirage]

So, you mean that i have to make a method?

[crude prawn]

yeah

[sage mirage]

@crude prawn Hey! How to add my dropdown to the inspector of my game object, I mean there is dropdown only and dropdown text mesh pro, for one reason I can't drop my dropdown game object inside the game object space. Why?

[rich adder]

screenshot

do types match?

[sage mirage]

No!

Types don't match.

@rich adder Check it out!

When I make dropdown only in script it shows that dropdown on the inspector, but when I make DropdownOption then it doesn't show that on the inspector and tha'ts why I want the dropdown option to be seen on my inspector to drag and drop that game object inside.

I can simply make a dropdown game object in legacy btw but I want to find a way make that work with tmpro.

[native flicker]

how could i check the color of an image? would it be if (image.color == color(255,255,255))?

[green island]

I have changed it a bit i have a script thats on different objects in that is a onDeath funktion and i have another scrip and i want to ovverte that funktion so thet each object has a different death script but they can all be called with the same funktion

[sage mirage]

Nevermind, I found it I just had to add TextMeshProUGUI in order use my dropdown game object that is text mesh pro inside my game object space, for one reason I was using Dropdown class like I said before.

[rich adder]

why dropdown option

[sage mirage]

Why dropdown option??

What do you mean?

[rich adder]

oh thought you made a DropdownOption type

nvm thats ur variable name i see

[native flicker]

whats wrog here?

public class selection : MonoBehaviour
{
    public Image image;
    // Start is called before the first frame update
    public void select()
    {
        // Check if the color of the image is (0, 255, 0, 100)
        Color targetColor = new Color32(0, 255, 0, 100);

        if (image != null && image.color == targetColor)
        {
            image.color = new Color32(255,255,255,100);
        }
        else
        {
            image.color = new Color32(0,255,0,100);
        }
    }
}```

error = Assets\Scripts\selection.cs(7,12): error CS0246: The type or namespace name 'Image' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

[sage mirage]

Dropdown option type doesn't show my field on the inspector, like no matter which access modifier I am using.

[rich adder]

Dropdown ?

[sage mirage]

On the other hand, Dropdown class shows the field on the inspector

I mean

[rich adder]

what is Dropdown option type

[sage mirage]

It is a class you use in visual studio

[rich adder]

you're missing namespace

https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.ugui@1.0/api/UnityEngine.UI.Image.html

[sage mirage]

private DropdownOption field; for example

[native flicker]

thx

[sage mirage]

or

public Dropdown field;

That's what I mean.

[rich adder]

it should be TMP_Dropdown

[sage mirage]

There is something called like that?

[rich adder]

ofc
https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.textmeshpro@4.0/api/TMPro.TMP_Dropdown.html

[sage mirage]

Yeah! Actually, there is that's cool!

[rich adder]

the only UI that doesnt have TMP variance is Button

that comes with a nested TMP_Text tho

but regular Button component

[prime lodge]

how can i make the sprint end after it not holding the shift anymore?

[rich adder]

making a normalSpeed variable and sprintSpeed variable

[prime lodge]

is it the only way?

[rich adder]

its the easiest way

[prime lodge]

okaaay

thx

[crude prawn]

make sure to have GetKeyDown

[rich adder]

 float moveSpeed = 0;
 float sprintSpeed = 10;
 float walkSpeed = 5;
 private void Update()
 {
     var sprint = Input.GetKey(KeyCode.LeftShift);
     moveSpeed = sprint ? sprintSpeed : walkSpeed;
 }```
this is as simple and functional as it gets

[rich adder]

GetKeyDown would only be 1 frame

kinda pointless for sprint

[tough geyser]

Hi guys, do y'all know where i can find all these classes or whatever they're name like destroy(gameObject), or translate.transform?

[rich adder]

!docs

[eternal falcon]

Documentation

Get the most out of Unity Editor by accessing our documentation!

💻 API

📖 Manual

[wild cargo]

I think he meant that if the old code is changed to use GetKeyDown, it would then behave correctly

[rich adder]

how so?

[wild cargo]

Oh.. upon second looking it now seems that it would also need the "else" statement replaced with "if (GetKeyUp()), THEN it would work correctly

[crude prawn]

Yeah exactly

[crude prawn]

What do you mean with only 1 frame?

[wild cargo]

I would use this approach if I was expecting some kind of effects system later on, like speed modifiers etc. so then it can stack easier

[wild cargo]

It means that the fixed code he put in here would only sprint for 1 frame because the shortened if expression would evalute false after it, leading to it using the normal speed instead

GetKey is needed for their approach

[rich adder]

not even just normal speed, but because its in else it will keep/=

[wild cargo]

But there's no division used in your code, just variables am I right?

[rich adder]

right they're fixed speeds

[wild cargo]

Yup

[rich adder]

so if you need increase stats you just increase sprint speed or walkspeed

[wild cargo]

Ohh yeah I completely overlooked that they can be multiplied or divided the same way as in the old code.. stupid me

[long anchor]

Bumping as I never got a re response and just woke up

[copper locust]

is it better if i add private next to float?

or its unnecessary

[rich adder]

dont rotate somehting with non-uniform scale

or you get skewing

[rich adder]

ideall you want those to be [SerializeField] private so you can modify them in the inspector

[long anchor]

The scale is uniform and that's not the issue

[rich adder]

do you even know what uniform means?

the screenshot you shared the scales are not uniform

[copper locust]

yeh i know, but whats the difference between writing private and writing nothing at all?

[rich adder]

nothing at all, they're both private

[copper locust]

oh ok

[copper locust]

can u add me to ur friends?

[long anchor]

All the scales are identical aka uniform, the object is not warping or sewing the only issue is the rotation transfer

[copper locust]

oh no

[long anchor]

Anyways I never ment to post it in this chat anyways so moving to the other, I'm not a beginner so sorry mods ig. It was like 5am when I posted so wasn't paying attention

[nova swift]

New to custom inspectors, is there a editorguilayout method for tilemaps? Kind of like how EditorGUILayout.Toggle is for booleans, I need something for a tilemap. I looked through some of the methods in this link but not sure what to look for: https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/EditorGUILayout.html

[native flicker]

how could i check for an animation has ended?

[fickle plume]

!mute 706939554627584020 3d Don't shitpost across the server, don't post off-topic.

[eternal falcon]

n.e.v.e.r.d.u.l.l was muted.

[rich adder]

Animation Event is an option, or a Coroutine with a while condition to check if its still in that state/clipname

[native flicker]

so how could i add smt to a var when it ends? sorry im new to C# and im trying to learn but im looking online and i don't find much

[languid spire]

Care to explain what 'smt to a var when it ends' means to you

[slender nymph]

Use an animation event

[native flicker]

just adding a 1 to a int

[native flicker]

thx

[crude prawn]

Basically your saying if you hold down the shift key it would only recognize that for 1 frame?

[wild cargo]

Yes, with GetKeyDown it only does it the next frame after the key was pressed down

GetKey does it for all frames until the key is released

[crude prawn]

no thats false with getkeydown it updates it every frame to see if the key is held down

[nova swift]

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Input.GetKeyDown.html

[wild cargo]

Nah, that's with GetKey

[crude prawn]

hmmm my bad i confused getkey and getkeydown

[wild cargo]

You can imagine GetKey as like GetKeyHeld

It simplifies the understanding

[nova swift]

Names can be misleading

[wild cargo]

Yeah

[native flicker]

what does this error mean?
'zombie' AnimationEvent has no function name specified! everything is set so idk whats wrong

nvm fixed it

[sage mirage]

Hey, guys! How to make FullScreen mode and Windowed mode with a dropdown panel? I have seen some videos with only toggle fullscreen but dont know how to make with options. Any help??

[rich adder]

do you mean how to insert options ? its just a list of strings

[wide raven]

Anyone has any idea on how I can make a movement system like this?

[sage mirage]

I made that already and it's fine. Now, I want to know how to make the functionality of fullscreen and windowed mode actually work. I did something like that check it out but I am not sure.

[rich adder]

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Screen-fullScreenMode.html

[rich adder]

simple rigidbody + joints

[wide raven]

I sadly cannot somehow :(

[rich adder]

why not

[wide raven]

This is how it went

I cant make it stand up too

[sage mirage]

@rich adder Check it!

{
    if (displayModeDropdown.value == 1)
    {
        Screen.fullScreen = isFullscreen;
    }

    else if (displayModeDropdown.value == 0)
    {
        Screen.fullScreen = isWindowed;
    }
}```

[rich adder]

use a box is prob easier to balance

[wide raven]

Lemme try

[rich adder]

sure but its more limited which makes me wonder why use a dropdown if it can just be a bool..

[wide raven]

    private void FixedUpdate()
    {
       Move();
        HandleJump();
    }

    private void HandleJump()
    {
        if (IsGrounded && _jumpPressed)

            _jumpYVel = CalculateJumpVel(jumpHeight);
            _jumpPressed = false;

            _moveVel = _rigidbody2D.velocity;

    void GetInput()
    {
        _moveDir = Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal"); // takes move input
        _jumpPressed |= Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Space); // takes input for jump using space
    }```

this is the movement code @rich adder

[fringe perch]

Hello ! How could I approach adding turning animation when the character is not moving ? Here is what I got so far, everything works except turning parts which have their animation not played (it directly goes to the end)

[wide raven]

Uhh how tho

I can't even make the player the way it should start to jump

[rich adder]

its very basic

void Update()
{
    input.x = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal");
    input.y = Input.GetAxis("Vertical");

    anim.SetFloat("MoveSpeed", Mathf.Abs(input.x));

    if(Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Space))
    {
        rb.AddForce(Vector3.up * (moveSpeed/1.4f), ForceMode2D.Impulse);
    }
}
private void FixedUpdate()
{
    rb.AddForce( Vector3.right * (input.x * moveSpeed));
}```

 private void FixedUpdate()
 {
     rb.MoveRotation(Mathf.LerpAngle(rb.rotation, targetRotation, force * Time.fixedDeltaTime));
 }``` limb

and yes the lerp is kinda wrong but I'm testing

[wide raven]

Lemme try

[rich adder]

well i'm not saying you need to copy it exaclty, just showing how simple it is with rigidbodies

[wide raven]

what is anim btw

is it connected to the player obj?

[rich adder]

its Animator

[wide raven]

This is how it goes :,(

[rich adder]

ok? you're doing something else though

your balancing is different

i have limbs that I use

[wide raven]

Yea I'll be using active ragdoll and give it a try then

Will inform you :)

[thin idol]

Привіт

[wild cargo]

Привіт, but english only please

[thin idol]

Ok

Hello, I downloaded unity version 2022.3F16, when I run the project I get the error "Unity running as administrator". Please help, fix it

[wild cargo]

Does unity run fine even with that "error"?

Because Unity running as administrator probably shouldn't be a cause of concern.. although it should be runnable in non-admin mode too

[thin idol]

When I click "restart as normal user" it doesn't respond at all

[wild cargo]

Have you tried looking around the internet if anyone else has the same issue? Also, this the first time you're using Unity? Or did this happen after you upgraded your project?

[thin idol]

I am using it for the first time, there is no solution on the Internet 😦

[crude prawn]

then its probaly corrupted files

[wild cargo]

Would you mind sending a screenshot of the error popup maybe?

[wild cargo]

Are you purposefully running Unity as administrator (like have you set a flag in the properties of the executable to run in admin mode, or something like that?)

Bc that shouldn't be happening

Unless you're doing it on purpose

Here's some resources I found on the web; maybe give them a read:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Unity3D/comments/103saf9/how_do_i_run_202221f1_as_a_standard_user/
https://forum.unity.com/threads/unity-2022-2-is-now-available.1363123/#post-8655807

[rich adder]

they probably installed Hub with UAC disabled

also this is not a code problem

#💻┃unity-talk

[thin idol]

I just ran the project and I got this error, the project only runs as an administrator

[thin idol]

How is that?

[rich adder]

you tell me

[thin idol]

How to install Unity Hub correctly so that there are no errors?

[rich adder]

check the UAC thing i mentioned already

also this is a code channel

unlrelated to your issue

[thin idol]

thank you

[thin idol]

How to do it?

[vestal gazelle]

Hey quick question,if i have "new Vetcor3" in a loop, do the old Vector3 get forgotten or am i creating more and more things for the computer to remember endlessly?

[rich adder]

you create new one but structs are highly efficent

you create new one replace old one

[vestal gazelle]

So its not making a metric ton of vectors? Because i dont want a metric ton of them.

[rich adder]

probably the last thing you should be worrying about
its literally floats you're creating

[thin idol]

Thank you

[vestal gazelle]

Well there isnt much going on rn in my little game yet it makes my computer fan go crazy and im using a lot of them so i was wondering if that was happening.

[wild cargo]

How many iterations are in the loop and how many objects are running that loop at once? Profiler also helps in identifying the cause of possible performance issues

But structs are very performant (it's like creating ints for example) so that should not be causing the performance dips (if you even have those issues)

[rich adder]

really doubt structs are the cause

anything 3D will get your fans running

[vestal gazelle]

Not sure what an iteration is but, i have about 6 objects each making a new vector about 60 times a second. Now that i think about it those numbers arent that big all things considered so its probably something else.

[wild cargo]

If it's just the fans running and no performance drops, just leave it as is. Editor play mode also consumes more performance I believe, than in a build

[crude prawn]

Could just simply be a bad pc/bad fans

[rich adder]

yes you have to use profiler and check source

my old laptop start its lag/fans just by opening the editor in scene view..

[vestal gazelle]

Its definitely not the computer.

[rich adder]

then its def not the structs

[vestal gazelle]

But thanks ill check the profiler

[crude prawn]

Yeah probaly just bad fans then

[vestal gazelle]

Prob not

[rich adder]

local variable it would get cleaned up quick, a stored var is just replacing

float is about 4 bytes

[thin idol]

What should I do if my visual studio shortcut does not have an image?

[rich adder]

make sure path is valid ?

[thin idol]

How to do it?

I click, everything works, just the shortcut does not have a visual studio image

[rich adder]

this is like basic computer stuff not really unity related.. You go to the original exe foldeer and right click -create shortcut

[thin idol]

I did it, there is no image

[twin wave]

Urmm are there any PDF that contains every coding for basics controls?

I want to learn it, but just rarely have internet connection

[clear seal]

Um well unity website

You search stuff and you find it

Text only no vid

[rich adder]

unity has downloadable version of docs yes

and so does .NET / C#

[clear seal]

Wait seriously?

[rich adder]

yup

[clear seal]

Kwel

[rich adder]

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

[twin wave]

Owww, nice. Thanks

[crude prawn]

tbh its kinda hard to learn coding & unity if u dont have internet because theres tons of tutorials and guides to learn but ig a book could teach the basics

[crude prawn]

page deleted

[twin wave]

I know....but there's no way I can get internet every week.

[twin wave]

yea...page not found

[crude prawn]

whys that?

[twin wave]

Let's just say the school I'm in just doesn't allow that

I don't want to go into details

[crude prawn]

yeah no problem i understand

[clear seal]

How bad is your wifi like you cant even watch vid?

[crude prawn]

i think the school turns off wifi

[clear seal]

Not mine

[crude prawn]

yeah same idk weird school

[twin wave]

They don't allow phones or modem

So straight up no internet connection

[clear seal]

Wait you are in a campus

[twin wave]

Yes

[rich adder]

how are you connected now

[twin wave]

Cause I'm not in campus

It's holiday mate

[rich adder]

so hows the page says
yea...page not found

[crude prawn]

where are you from?

[twin wave]

confidential

[rich adder]

so download the offline version lol

[fossil drum]

He has CH in his name, which normally means china

[crude prawn]

i mean idk what u want us to do its pretty hard to learn unity without internet

[rich adder]

CCP

[twin wave]

Ch in my name means Chlorine, just so you know

So there's no way?

[crude prawn]

i also think u cant use unity without internet

[rich adder]

download docs

[twin wave]

You can't?

[crude prawn]

u need to have internet once a week or u cant use the engine

[rich adder]

not for long

[twin wave]

But close to china

[fossil drum]

You can afaik, only the new version that comes out next year requires you to be online every couple of days.

[rich adder]

pretty sure you can also just run it without hub no?

[fossil drum]

No idea how the new version next year is going to force it tbh, but you should be able to work with Unity like you guys said now if you just download the docs.

[twin wave]

I don't know

[crude prawn]

wait if no phones are allowed how are u supposed to use unity?

[twin wave]

How hard is it to get started even?

[rich adder]

not hard if you're committed

[crude prawn]

depends on how much work you put in

[fossil drum]

And on your brain power

[twin wave]

We got it on weekends, or if there's a special occasion. But usually most students just brought a spare and handed over the fake one

[twin wave]

I know how to use Packet Tracer. Does that help?

[rich adder]

dont snitch on your comards :p

[crude prawn]

well i would just download youtube tutorials and docs

[twin wave]

2 hours a day

[twin wave]

2 hours a day is good?

[twin wave]

I don't and I won't

[crude prawn]

yeah id say that is more than enough

[rich adder]

you just did lmao

they could be watching you 🕵️

[twin wave]

None of them use discord

[crude prawn]

how the school doesnt have internet 😂

[twin wave]

So I'm fine

[rich adder]

they have secret basement wifi

[twin wave]

The school DOES have internet, they just don't let us STUDENTS use it

[crude prawn]

weird country and school

[twin wave]

Play some Stalkers first then learn

[rich adder]

no I mean teachers

[crude prawn]

internet just helps the school with knowledge etc.

[rich adder]

knowledge is forbidden without control in those places

[crude prawn]

oh yeah true

[twin wave]

They're cool, no worries

[crude prawn]

is there even game devs in ur country?

[twin wave]

Just wait till I get into Diploma then I can have my phone. Free access no restrictions

[twin wave]

Yea

[rich adder]

yeah going from dealing with schools to governament , not big change usually lol

one conditions for the other

anyway going offtopic here :ima seee myselfout

[crude prawn]

tbh we are going a little off topic thn what this server allows

same

[twin wave]

yea too far

[crude prawn]

@twin wave if you have any questions about coding this is the channel

[twin wave]

Oh, okay. I'll finish the mock up first

If I have any problems I'll be here right away

Thanks

[lapis halo]

Im having trouble making my enemy follow the player after spawning in.
Currently, they go towards the players spawn position instead of the player's current position.

    {
        enemy.transform.position = Vector2.MoveTowards(gameObject.transform.position, player.transform.position, speed * Time.deltaTime);
    }```

^ The enemy's are the ones spawning in, not the player.

[harsh owl]

My Raycasts for the suspensions which hold my car into its "floating mode" are always falling back a couple of frames when i accelerate my car resulting in completely bugging my car and moving it really weird as soon as i accelerate a bit quicker. Any idea how i can make them stay where i put them?

code for the suspensions: https://gdl.space/uvupucirah.cs

[rich adder]

back at it I see 😏

[rich adder]

probably because of this being in fixed update
Debug.DrawLine(transform.position, hit.point, Color.green);

or the whole raycast

put it in update and pass those values to fixedupdate

[harsh owl]

okey ill try

[rich adder]

   Vector3 spring_direction;
   private void Update()
   {
       didHit = Physics.Raycast(transform.position, Vector3.down, out hit, maxRayLenght);
       if (didHit)
       {
           Debug.DrawLine(transform.position, hit.point, Color.green);
           spring_direction = Vector3.up;
           Vector3 tire_world_velocity = rb.GetPointVelocity(transform.position);
           current_offset = spring_length - hit.distance;
           velocity = Vector3.Dot(spring_direction, tire_world_velocity);
           force = (current_offset * spring_strength) + (spring_dampening * velocity);
       }
       else
       {
           Vector3 end_point = transform.position + new Vector3(0, -maxRayLenght, 0f);
           Debug.DrawLine(transform.position, end_point, Color.red);
       }
   }
   void FixedUpdate()
   {
       rb.AddForceAtPosition(force * spring_direction, transform.position);
   }```

[lapis halo]

please

[rich adder]

this should prob b changed
from
enemy.transform.position = Vector2.MoveTowards(gameObject.transform.position, player.transform.position, speed * Time.deltaTime);
to
enemy.transform.position = Vector2.MoveTowards(enemy.transform.position, player.transform.position, speed * Time.deltaTime);

[rich adder]

also what is player assigned as

[lapis halo]

gameobject

[rich adder]

which one

[lapis halo]

Player?

I was thinking of getting the player's position using get component then the enemy's just going towards that position.]

[rich adder]

show me how you assign it

[lapis halo]

 public GameObject player;

[rich adder]

thats declaring it

how do you assign it, show me the inspector if thats what you used

[harsh owl]

that fixed it! thank you so much

[lapis halo]

I'm assigning the prefab

which might be the problem

[rich adder]

you have to assign the instance in the scene if you're spawning player in

[lapis halo]

The enemy prefab doesn't allow me to assign the player in the scene

[rich adder]

yes ofc

[lapis halo]

and i have no clue how to change that

[rich adder]

https://unity.huh.how/references/prefabs-referencing-components

[lapis halo]

god this stuffs makes no sense

[rich adder]

which part exactly are you not getting?

[lapis halo]

I dont even know

[verbal karma]

I have a script without a gameobject, and I need to run it without using a static method, whats the best way?

[summer stump]

If not static, you'll mostly need a gameobject somewhere.
A MonoBehaviour could create a Poco which would run on its own

helloooo, need some help with some code im trying to get working, i have not a single clue of what im doing outside of some general knowledge xD, is this the right place to post questions like such?

[summer stump]

Yep

[dusky pendant]

:D great, so im doing some stuff with optimizing my avatar i have in unity meant for VRC, so im using version 2019.4.3, Im in the proccess of putting toggles into blendtrees instead of multiple layers,

the only issue i have is that some of my toggle animations are animated to have dissolves, and since blendtrees dont play animations, rather just switch from the animations state they are curently in (so since it starts as soon as the scene goes into play mode, itll just switch from the last frame of the animation)

so im trying to make a custome script thatll detect when my paramater is set to a certain value than replay a certain animation when its set to that value

this is the script i curently have,

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

public class Dissolve : MonoBehaviour
{
public Animator animator; // Reference to the Animator component
public string parameterName; // Name of the blend tree parameter
public string animationStateName; // Name of the animation state
public float detectionValue; // The value to detect

private float lastParameterValue; // Last known value of the blend tree parameter

void Start()
{
    // Initialize lastParameterValue with the current parameter value
    lastParameterValue = animator.GetFloat(parameterName);
}

void Update()
{
    // Get the current parameter value
    float currentParameterValue = animator.GetFloat(parameterName);

    // Check if the parameter value has changed to the detection value
    if (currentParameterValue == detectionValue && currentParameterValue != lastParameterValue)
    {
        // Restart the animation
        animator.Play(animationStateName, -1, 0f);
    }

    // Update lastParameterValue
    lastParameterValue = currentParameterValue;
Debug.Log()
}

}

the issue is, its saying my game object dosent have an animatior when it does, and it complains about not being able to find the paramater due to not seeing the animator

Hello! I'm just starting to make a little 2d game and I could use some help with movement. I've got a neat little movement animation, but i'm trying to figure out how to make the idle animation stay facing whatever direction the player was facing last (if that makes sense)

because right now the player snaps back to the right because that's what i have the idle animation set as

Did you try flipping the sprite?

hii guys right now i'm working on a project that consist of a enemy patrolling , the enemy patrols between the waypoints(white cubes in the given video) and player if detected it chases the player and attacks it and the health from health bar decreases, but the enemy apparently goes for the ground component instead of player i dont know why its doing that , here are some information about the components attached to each objects 1.player= a capsule collider, health script,movement script and rigidbody 2. enemy= a eyepoint child component(to represent eye, sphere collider ( to detect if the player is in attackrange,enemyAI script (responsible for navmesh movement)and enemyEyesight script,navmeshAgent component)

[wintry quarry]

You seem to be using the word "component" in some cases when you actually mean "GameObject". That's a little confusing, FYI.

As for why your code is doing what it's doing, definitely not possible to know without seeing the code and understanding what debugging steps you've taken so far.

Since you're using the short circuiting version of your boolean logic operators (&& and ||) there's a good chance ClearView() is never even running.

Double check that with log statements. If necessary switch to the non short circuiting versions (| and &) since you require that function to run to set the position

Or switch the order of those conditions

[lethal depot]

i'll try
