[native flicker]

ah alright thank you

[desert elm]

hm- quick question, but how complicated is creating a pathfinding system for a very simple 2D game?

[river roost]

Not that complicated, especially not if you have a tilemap already

[desert elm]

oh, the game is top down, and only has . . three types of terrain
( road, plains, and forest ), and doesn't work of a tilemap system
I just want to make the system use the quickest route to move from A to B, with the roads increasing movement speed and forests decreasing it

[river roost]

Look up A*

there are plenty of guides on it

or you can just steal someones code

[desert elm]

thank you-

[robust condor]

Or use navmesh

Oh it was 2D, nvm

@desert elmhttps://arongranberg.com/astar/

[desert elm]

thanks as well-

[lusty flax]

why does this appear if my mesh does not have a rigidbody?

[slender nymph]

sounds like it probably does have a rigidbody. keep in mind that a parent object with a rigidbody still counts

[lusty flax]

the parent does have a rigidbody, but the game seems to work fine regardless

[slender nymph]

well that's exactly why you're getting that error message then

[lusty flax]

i made a small fix to remove the error message, it didn't affect the functionality at all it just made that annoying message go awat

[rare basin]

datetime.now is bad anyway

user can just change phone date

like old methods in 2010 games 😄

better to get some server online date

[desert elm]

also- is there a way to use OnTriggerEnter2D but only have it fire when interacting/entering a specific collider? ( i.e a collider of a specific name or something- )

[slender nymph]

put an if statement inside of OnTriggerEnter2D that checks that you are overlapping the thing you want to. it's recommended to use tags or check for a specific kind of component rather than relying on the name of the object though

[desert elm]

why should I not rely on the name of the object?

[native flicker]

Thx for the info

[slender nymph]

well for starters there will be no proper error messages if you've spelled it wrong. then there's also the fact that if you plan on creating clones of an object you have to also consider that its clones will have (Clone) appended to its name

[languid spire]

because they can and will change

[desert elm]

Understood

what should I use for the if statement?

[waxen oracle]

i have no tools either

[serene barn]

I don't know if this a coding related issue but unity parameters are not reading the parameter that i set

[desert elm]

or rather- how do I check what I am colliding with?

[serene barn]

i get 644 warning and im not to sure what to do

[short hazel]

What do the warnings say? Animator parameters are case-sensitive like most stuff, so Thing is not the same as thing

[serene barn]

I get that but they are correct in my code

[misty obsidian]

Like I want it optional and... Do you mean this? It doesn't work Idk why :(

[serene barn]

they dont exist

[short hazel]

Make sure you're referring to the correct Animator at runtime. Your variable may not have the value you think it has

[serene barn]

im new so im not getting what you mean

[short hazel]

You have a variable of type Animator in your code right?

[slender nymph]

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

[languid spire]

that code is not even the class generating the error is it?
I see nothing there that would generate a null ref

[serene barn]

Animator animator;
int direction = 1 // just refers back to the movement -1 for left 1 for right

void FixedUpdate()
{
if ()
{
animator.SetFloat("Move X", 0);
animator.SetFloat("Move Y", direction);
}
else
{
animator.SetFloat("Move X", direction);
animator.SetFloat("Move Y", 0);
}
  
}

[polar acorn]

You left off the line numbers. What are line 41 and 50

[short hazel]

Ignoring the load of errors this would produce, you indeed have a variable of type Animator, called animator.
So where do you put a value into that variable? Do you drag-drop an object in the Inspector directly? Or are you using some kind of GetComponent<Animator>() in your code?

[serene barn]

oh shit i forgot to inlcue that in the type up, but it's in void update with the ridigebody

im sick and having to force my self to write code

Okay this searches the game object this script is on for an Animator.

Make sure the script isn't attached to another object, with another animator.
Make sure there is only one Animator on the game object this script is attached to

[serene barn]

okay i just put a 1 infront of the variable so im not referencing it in any other code

[short hazel]

The variable was private so it was not visible to other code anyway (when you don't specify private or public or any other, it's assumed private)

[serene barn]

extreme xhale

[short hazel]

Can you go back to Unity for a second and in the search bar at the top of the Hierarchy, type t:EnemyController? This will filter out the Hierarchy so only objects that have your script are displayed. From there see if you didn't attach the script to another object by accident

it is the part of my code

how can i see the raycast

like gizmo or something

[slender nymph]

depending on your unity version you can either use the physics debugger to see it or you'll have to draw it with a Debug.DrawRay or something

[queen adder]

i think im using 2022 or 2023 latest lts

[slender nymph]

latest lts is 2022. so you should be able to use the physics debugger for viewing your raycast

[queen adder]

physics debugger ok

[lusty flax]

I want to show something like "PRESS [KEY] TO PICK UP" on the player's screen, but I don't know how to convert a keycode (for instance, KeyCode.E) into a string (which would be "E")

[queen adder]

i am checking it tysm

[short hazel]

KeyCode.E.ToString() - the ToString() method is available on everything

[wintry quarry]

myKeyCode.ToString()

[serene barn]

i figured it out

[lusty flax]

really? I thought that only worked for ints, floats, and all those. thanks! thanks also @wintry quarry

[wintry quarry]

literally everything in C# is a System.Object, which is where ToString comes from. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.object.tostring?view=net-8.0

[radiant glen]

Hey just got this error when I tried to load my project any fixes?

[slender nymph]

doesn't seem like a code issue

[wintry quarry]

probably your scene file is corrupted somehow. Load it from a backup / version control version which worked

and yeah not a code issue

[radiant glen]

Okay, where can I access a backup?

[slender nymph]

have you backed up your project in any way?

[wintry quarry]

did you make one? You tell us.

[radiant glen]

I didnt...

[wintry quarry]

Then you are a bit out of luck. It's likely you'll need to recreate this scene from scratch

It's possible you could manually open the scene file and salvage it but not likely.

[queen adder]

i tried to do with pyhsics debugger but i couldn't do that any advice

[slender nymph]

that's not very specific. what do you mean you "couldn't do that"?

you just open up the physics debug window, make sure that the queries option is enabled and look in scene view and you'll see it

[polar acorn]

First image: UpgradeText is null, you never check if it exists.

Second image: upgraderSkrypt is null, there is no check around it

i added this Debug.DrawRay but it doesn't shown

[slender nymph]

do you have gizmos enabled?

[queen adder]

yea

[slender nymph]

then either that code is not running or the raycast is not where you expect it to be. or sightDistance is 0

[queen adder]

code is runing i think because the snowman moving

[slender nymph]

nothing in that code you've shown moves it

um i will check the 2 other option the sightdistance and raycast position thing

Hey guys I need help on playing multiple particle systems simultaneously after a grenade explodes

[slender nymph]

i gave you three reasons why you wouldn't be seeing your Debug.DrawRay. if sightDistances is not 0 then check the other reasons

[cunning rapids]

I don't know how to do that through code

How do you exactly play particle systems

Is it some variable I'm unaware of that I can assign and then play in the grenade code?

[serene barn]

so unity you got some explaining to do as in the check scrips section this change DOESNT EXIST (on the new vector2 exist the second line is what im refering too)

[queen adder]

omg man you are right i changed the color of it to red to see where it is and it is here lmao

[wintry quarry]

What doesn't exist?

what is the "check scrips section"?

[serene barn]

position = position

in the guide they have a check script section to make sure u "have" what they have

type of this its usually oh i missed something or i dont get something

[wintry quarry]

what is the context of your question? Presumably there is some variable named position from earlier.
Or maybe they made a mistake and it's supposed to be transform.position

[slender nymph]

so then most likely the object your script is on is not the same as the NavMeshAgent or it is not a child of the NavMeshAgent.
if it relies on the position of the navmeshagent so either use the NavMeshAgent's position or attach this component to that same object

[serene barn]

the new one is the move + speed but its the same

[wintry quarry]

which guide?

[serene barn]

ruby world

ruby adventur to be correct

[queen adder]

tysm sensei. I will immediately implement what you say.

Guys, I really need help on how to play a particle system through code

[slender nymph]

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/ParticleSystem.Play.html

literally the first result searching "particle system play unity"

[serene barn]

im about to get into that

[serene barn]

but for 3d or 2d is a question too

[slender nymph]

that makes no difference, there is not a 2d particle system component because you can just use the ParticleSystem component

[cunning rapids]

It just gave me a sample GUI script

I have a game object holding all the particle systems I want to play

Does it work on empty game objects that hold particle system children?

I'm new to this, sorry

[wintry quarry]

wdym "it"? ChatGPT?

[cunning rapids]

No

The forum

The documentation gave me a sample script

[wintry quarry]

you play ParticleSystems with .Play:
https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/ParticleSystem.Play.html

If you want to play multiple particle systems, you'll need to call Play on each one of them

If you have them all in a list you can loop over the list and call Play on each one.

[cunning rapids]

Oh alright

[cunning rapids]

AH alright

Thank you

Again, my apologies if it was a stupid question

I'm gonna guess the docs also mention how to control the system such as pausing and stopping the systems, right?

[wintry quarry]

of course, look through the docs for ParticleSystem, all that stuff is in there

[cunning rapids]

Alright I'll look into it

If my English is flawed it's because I'm working on this project late at night so I apologize if my sleepiness caused any misunderstanding

    public virtual void Init() { }

    public float GetModifierStatValue()
    {
        return _modifierValue;
    }
}

public class HealthBoosterData : StatModifierItemData
{
    [SerializeField]
    public float boostAmount;

    public override void Init()
    {
        Debug.Log("Boost amount is " + boostAmount); // 500
        Debug.Log("modifierValue is " + modifierValue); // 0
        base.modifierValue = boostAmount;
        Debug.Log("modifierValue is now " + modifierValue); // STILL 0
    }
}

[cunning rapids]

Guys, I can't insert my particle system in the inspector

[summer stump]

What type is the field?

[slender nymph]

right click the Assembly-CSharp solution and select the reload with dependencies option

[languid spire]

set => _modifierValue = value;

[rich adder]

do you have script errors, check Console

[summer stump]

all fine?

@languid spireOh I see, thanks

[real monolith]

[rich adder]

show vid

[slender nymph]

don't multiply mouse input by deltaTime, it's already frame rate independent so by multiplying it by deltaTime you end up with stuttery camera controls

[real monolith]

really copied from pastebit just to look at the synthax xd

okok thank you

[cunning rapids]

What's wrong?

@rich adder

[true pasture]

I have a function on a singleton, when its called by another script like this is it creating an instance of that function or does that only run the function on the singletons object? If so how could I instead use an instance of the function.

since Im running into a problem where if two people cast at the same time it mixes up the stats

[rich adder]

you can't drag scene objects onto prefabs

[cunning rapids]

Why not?

I did it before

[rich adder]

doubt it

[cunning rapids]

Should I use public Gamobject

[true pasture]

only if the object in the scene was a prefab to begin with

I think you could drag it in then

[rich adder]

just use 1 reference to the main VFX object

make a prefab out of that

and spawn VFX object

[cunning rapids]

What if you unpack it?

It's no longer a prefab

[rich adder]

what ur doing now makes no sense anyway

the script is already on the flashbang for example you can drag them within prefab editor

[cunning rapids]

I just put 3 particle systems and I want to play them before the grenade explodes

[rich adder]

Open the Prefab in context mode and drag them in 🤷‍♂️

why you need all three I have no clue. They could all just drop a prefab down and maybe pool that, they could set to Play On Awake

[cunning rapids]

I followed a tutorial on making an explosion effect

I made one for the explosion, the other for the smoke, and another for the trails

All together they make one explosion effect from 3 systems

[rich adder]

I get it

[cunning rapids]

I'm sorry if I'm being obnoxious but may you please recommend a better way to handle this?

[rich adder]

VFX can just be a prefab is what i was saying

[cunning rapids]

Done

This is a screenshot directly from the hierarchy

Now what?

[rich adder]

did you make prefab enable all 3 particles Play ON Awake?

[cunning rapids]

Elaborate

[summer stump]

Drag it into the project window.
Drag the asset from the project window (not hierarchy) to the fields

[cunning rapids]

Alright

[rich adder]

is this thing enabled

so you dont have to manually call emit?

[cunning rapids]

Let me check

Yes it is

[cunning rapids]

Done

[rich adder]

alr so just need to change 3 ParticleSystem fields into 1 GameObject/Transform

[cunning rapids]

Now I have it on my project window and hierarchy

[rich adder]

then do Instantiate(vfxPrefab, etc..)

[cunning rapids]

Oh

You just instantiate them?

Seems simple enough

[grand hare]

should I switch from vs code to visual studio or it doesn't make much diffirence?

[rich adder]

yeah its a prefab now

drag the one in the Project tab (hopefully you deleted the unnecessary one in the scene..)

[cunning rapids]

Yeah I did

I'll make an instance to the one on the project tab

Oh!

I get it now!

Since the systems play on awake, every time there is a new instance of the system, it plays the systems automatically.

my bad

https://hastebin.com/share/eyorewibex.csharp

[wintry quarry]

you are not implementting IPointerEnterHandler, only IPointerClickHandler

[sterile radish]

oh okay that makes sense. thank you!

is there a way to implement all IPointer handlers at once?

[wintry quarry]

I guess you could write your own interface which implements all of them

seems silly though

you can also use the EventTrigger component instead of implementing the interfaces

[sterile radish]

alright, thanks!

[weary finch]

Is there any way to see small textures, bigger?

[ionic zephyr]

https://hastebin.com/share/aqokuyilat.csharp

please I need help, the object I want to instantiate instatiates twice every time

Ex: first 1, then 2, then 4, then 8...

[weary finch]

Is the stopper component inside the _Stopper object?

[ionic zephyr]

I put it in the prefab

[weary finch]

So the object that you want to instantiate has the component that instantiates?

[vast tangle]

While not directly a code question, I have an assignment and I was wondering if anyone could provide some insight
One of the requirements was

Your implementation should allow the saving and loading of game state data from the selected storage types (In-memory, PlayerPrefs).
Your design should allow the implementation of new storage types (for example: Json file, network url) of game state data, without modifying your existing solution

I know how to implement those storage types, the part thats confusing me is the last line
How do you make a storage type without modifying the existing solution
seems like a weird requirement

[ionic zephyr]

yes

[wintry quarry]

They want you to separate the serialization of the data from saving it that's all, which is a really good requirement.

[real monolith]

xRotation -= mouseY;

[vast tangle]

oh alright, that makes sense, thanks!

[weary finch]

Okay so what's happening is that every time you instantiate the object, a new object with the component that instantiates is there, and that new object will start instantiating more objects, and more and more. You have to move that component outside the object that is being instantiated

[ionic zephyr]

Oh my god how cant I have seen it

[weary finch]

XD we all have been there

[ionic zephyr]

its like a freaking virus bro

that´s interesting though

anyway, thanks A LOT

[weary finch]

no problem!

[weary finch]

What would you like to understand from there? What I see is that the xRotation gets mouseY removed every time it moves. Mouse Y is a value that gets to 1 when the mouse moves, and 0 when it has stoped

[real monolith]

why am i subtracting mouseY?

[weary finch]

If you look at the axis, xRotation would be rotating around the X axis, and therefore the aparent vertical rotation (looking up and down is rotating through the X axis)

[weary finch]

What would make sense to you?

[wintry quarry]

because the top left of the screen is usually 0 0 in screenspace IIRC, so increasing mouse y actually means moving your mouse DOWN. So you subtract to invert that

[real monolith]

nono i know that just dont get why X rotation with Y

[weary finch]

Look at the axis I sent (or also in unity) and you will see that the axis where the rotation should be applied is X

[wintry quarry]

because rotating around the x axis is how you tilt "up and down"

[wintry quarry]

See diagram here

it's a rotation around the axis

[weary finch]

You can also create a new gameobject(cube) and rotate the X value on the transform, and you will see how it goes up to down

[real monolith]

OHH

ok

maybe i got it

bruh wtf why is y rotating horizontaly

[weary finch]

(a better diagram)

[real monolith]

ye i thought x was horizontal like in math

[wintry quarry]

x is horizontal

[weary finch]

x is horizontal

[wintry quarry]

rotating around the horizontal axis results in "looking up and down"

[weary finch]

exactly

[real monolith]

OH

ok

cool didnt really get "around"

[weary finch]

No problem!

[real monolith]

thank you sorry for my stupid a** xd

[weary finch]

im gonna bump this, im stupid myself

(alttough im starting to thing that, unless i have a custom editor im not sure how im gonna do that, maybe there's a hidden button somewhere?)

[ionic zephyr]

Guys, how can I make sure that when the scene loads the object that uses the transform of my player saves that transform from being destroyed?

[rich adder]

DontDestroyOnLoad prob

[icy ginkgo]

Help With Camera States

[ionic zephyr]

is it common to do a DontDestroyOnLoad to the player?

[rich adder]

yes

[ionic zephyr]

Oh, really? thanks

[rich adder]

depends what your exact needs are too

[ionic zephyr]

the thing is there is an object that instantiates according to the player´s transform. But when I reload the scene, that association breaks

[rich adder]

do you not have a way to find player at runtime ? also some games don't even delete the player they just reset and respawn the same one

[spring skiff]

Will this make what I hope?

    private Script1 my_Script1;
    private Script2 my_Script2;
    private void Start()
    {
        my_Script1.GetComponent<Script1>();
        my_Script2.GetComponent<Script2>();
    }

    private void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other)
    {
        if (other.gameObject.tag == "PlayerCollider")
        {
            my_Script1.enabled = false;
            my_Script2.enabled = false;
        }
    }
}

I want to disable two scripts what are componments of a GameObjekt.
Do I will reach those Scripts like this or will this disable the entire GameObject?

[ionic zephyr]

I want that everytime the player dies, it spawns in teh beggining of the road(it is a race-type game)

[rich adder]

Ye I know, tbh no point in destroying it

[ionic zephyr]

Ok, thanks a lot bro

[primal tree]

From the magical world of dumb questions, how can I prevent two layers from colliding with each other in 2D? I've unticked the interaction in the Project Settings > Physics > Layer Collision Matrix, but my character is still able to stand on top of platforms that should now be non-colliding... (Player / OneWayPlatforms)

[rich adder]

depends on the purpose

if you disable whole object any scripts stop working

[rich adder]

not code question

[spring skiff]

The purpose is to disable those 2 scripts in a GameObjekt, without disabling the Gameobjekt itself.

[rich adder]

also for 2D its the Physics2D section

[primal tree]

Fair, apologies @rich adder .

[ionic zephyr]

but when I keep the player it is still there??

[rich adder]

so do that lol

[wintry quarry]

2d has its own settings

[ionic zephyr]

the little squares are the player

one stayed even though the scene loaded

[primal tree]

Thanks @wintry quarry . (facepalm)

[rich adder]

why is everything white, I cant tell whats goin on

[ionic zephyr]

just a simulation

[rich adder]

put some color on the player ?
anyway whats the problem ? if you put DDOl then you can't keep one in the scene already
or make a singleton

[ionic zephyr]

what I want is taht this relation Target-Player isnt destroy when the scene loads

[primal tree]

I'm heading over to #⚛️┃physics, but it's worth noting that changing the setting in the 2D Layer Collision Matrix doesn't seem to have done anything either. =/

[rich adder]

make sure you set the layers correctly on each collider

[ionic zephyr]

and if I add the DDOL it still destroys that relation

[modest lintel]

I bought the complete c# course from Gamedev tv , but before starting the course I just want to know , in playmaker we use states to make our games and in those states we have stuff like "trigger event,float compare,translate,playsound,send global event etc" and this usually goes 1 by 1 but when i see c# code they use update or start and i never seen those in playmaker, lets say i triggered a event by pressing "Space key" and it did the code inside that if state, does it stay in that state or it just resets,if it does how does people make a story game

I was using playmaker a visual coding addon for 3 years and now I made the choice to switch to c#.

@rich adder Just to check... I shouldn't have to change Layer Overrides in CompositeCollider2Ds or TilemapCollider2Ds or Rigidbody2Ds, no? My assumption is that changing the matrix in the Project Settings should cover that. I also have PlatformEffector2D on the tilemap, which I suspect is the cause of this issue - does that make more sense?

[rich adder]

hm yeah you would have to put it on the thing that has player reference too

[ionic zephyr]

the problem is that whenever I use it, then every time the scene loads not only does the player generate another, but also the relation breaks anyway

[rich adder]

its not ideal, just use runtime find

or use gameManager.instance

[ionic zephyr]

I use a gamemanager

that script is from a gameManager

[rich adder]

yes mate I can read

[rare basin]

Or if you have only 1 player, then make him a singleton and reference him everytime you need

Many approaches

I don't really know what you mean. But I'm starting my game then I press run and jump while grounded and the jump "works" but not as intended. My character teleport to the location and fall really fast. I want it to jump like irl

[rich adder]

Your gameManager is in a completely different scene because of DDOl

you cannot keep reference between difference scenes

where delta rotation is Quaternion but there is an error because i can't use an operator to it. I don't know how to do

🥲

The problem is the CharacterController not the new input system. When I press space bar it jump no problem on that. but I think it's the logic behind the jump

[rich adder]

you can't add/subtract quaternions

[quick edge]

Still can't help me ?

[quick edge]

Because I'm using a CharacterController to Move my character. My character move but not as intended, so by logic it's the CharacterController logic for the jump in my Update function that is wrong

I explained it earlier but I'm gonna explain it more clearly sorry. My code make the character teleport to the variable "jumpHeight" then the gravity do it's thing and the character fall. I don't want that, I want my character to jump like in real life then fall.

I tried += instead of =. I tried Mathf.sqrt(-2f * gravity * jumpHeight) for initial velocity but it doesn't work

[rich adder]

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/CharacterController.Move.html

this has example

[quick edge]

I also tried that

Maybe I miss wrote it

I'm gonna try again

[rich adder]

probably. cause it works fine

the only issue is that the character controller grounded bool sucks

it only works while you move

is better to make grounded check with CheckSphere

[quick edge]

Should I make an "isGrounded" variable myself with a raycast ?

I changed "direction.y = jumpHeight;" for "direction.y = Mathf.Sqrt(-3.0f * gravity * jumpHeight); "
And it still doesn't work. I have to put like jumpHeight = 200; to see something happen and what happen is just my character teleport instantly, then fall normally

    private void Update()
    {
        characterSpeed = isRunning && _controller.isGrounded ? playerRunningSpeed : playerWalkingSpeed;
        float xMoveValue = playerInputActions.GroundedGameplay.Movement.ReadValue<Vector2>().x * characterSpeed;
        float zMoveValue = playerInputActions.GroundedGameplay.Movement.ReadValue<Vector2>().y * characterSpeed;
        direction = new(xMoveValue, 0f, zMoveValue);

        if(_controller.isGrounded && isJumping && isRunning)
        {
            direction.y += Mathf.Sqrt(-3.0f * gravity * jumpHeight);
        }
        direction.y += gravity;
        _controller.Move(Time.deltaTime * direction);
    }

[amber veldt]

Hey guys, sorry I'm not so active on this forum but I'd like some point of view on a solution to a problem I have,

I instantiate an object which is essentially just a skinned mesh renderer and a rigidbody at a specific place using a parent transform. The object is then moved by an animation and it moves relative to the character I'm animating (drawing an arrow from a quiver if you want context)

I want to have a rigidbody so I can apply a force to the arrow when the string gets released, but if I add a rigidbody, the arrow gets "stuck" and does not follow my animation.

Using isKinematic won't work, or at least I did not find a solution using it. (I have no issues of placement of the arrow when there is no rigidbody btw)

I used ChatGPT so I would not waste you guys some time, and the AI found a solution : storing the rigidbody values, Destroy the rigidbody, then add a new rigidbody and add the destroyed rigidbody values.

Is that fine? Am I missing something easier ?

Thanks a lot if you read me,

Hello there. Let's say I have enum with 3 options. How do I check which option is assigned thru if statement?
public enum ExpirePoint { BATTLE_END, TURN_START, TURN_END }

if (ExpirePoint == ???){}

[rich adder]

if(myEnumField == ExpirePoint .BATTLE_END)
//its battleEnd```

[visual hedge]

where do I take myEnum? 😄

[rich adder]

well, you need a field for an ExpirePoint

you just created the enum , never actually use it anywhere

[visual hedge]

yes, so that's also is a part of a question... so I make the script that will check what this exact enum states... what do I add to the script so it can actually access that created enum? I guess instead of asking I just have to see some examples from code that I have that uses enums... brb 🙂

a ye, okay okay

[visual hedge]

thank you

[rich adder]

if(currentState == TurnState.Dead)
//etc

[visual hedge]

yeap, exactly. THank you very much

[rich adder]

if you need to check if any of those is true at once, then you can do a switch instead of a chained else if

[sacred pulsar]

do i need to learn c# for unity?

I will have 3 options only so I guess if, else if, else will be enough

What's the basic difference between arrays and lists? I mean what would be the NO GO for each of those? List is more flexible I guess? If you remove certain thing from the list, nothing breaks, right? And if one removes some link from array, it can cause troubles?

[rich adder]

arrays size cannot be modified without creating a new array

lists can

simple as that

[robust condor]

Does anyone have example of large project structure? It is becoming unbearable

[visual hedge]

oh, okay, that's it. So if I want some magic attack to have few status effects that it will apply, I better use array for those status effects, right? Those will be fixed and won't be modified anywhere at all

if the size is fixed use array and replace the item, if it grows / shrinks use list

[sturdy kelp]

Hello everyone, have a sort of annoying minor issue I can't seem to find the solution to.

I get the "domain reload" popup every time I edit and save a script, and it prevents me from alt-tabbing back to unity and is generally annoying. Quick google says to turn off auto-refresh in preferances, I remember this working briefly but has since stopped working.

The way of Project settings --> Enter Play Mode Settings --> Enable Domain Reload has no effect either.

Am I missing something obvious? Or is this just something to deal with? Thanks.

[rich adder]

I think you're thinking of compilation reload

[sturdy kelp]

Yes, I think so

Is there a way to turn it off, or at least do it without the annoying popup window that prevents alt-tab (in the background?)

[teal viper]

Disabling auto refresh is what you need.

Enter play mode settings only affect entering play mode.

[sturdy kelp]

This setting? It's disabled- still getting the reload.

when I save the script^

[teal viper]

Yes.
Was it not in General tab..?🤔

It doesn't seem like compilation though. It says scene hierarchy repaint.

[sturdy kelp]

Don't think so haha

[sturdy kelp]

If it helps, it does several things, domain reload too (as if I know what that is)

[teal viper]

I guess it was moved there in the recent versions.

[teal viper]

Ah okay. It seems like the setting is not taking effect then.🤔

Try resetting it to something else and back to disabled. And if that doesn't help, restart the editor.

[bold swallow]

Am I doing something wrong when rendering Gizmos? Here is my code but I don't see it anywhere in the scene view. I tried using gizmos for the first time to see why my Physics2D.OverlapCircleAll was not working. I even set the radius to 100f and the PlanetMask to "Everything". Any ideas?

Gizmos code:

void OnDrawGizmosSelect()
    {
        Gizmos.color = Color.red;
        Gizmos.DrawWireSphere(Vector2.zero ,1f);
    }

Overlap Code

        Collider2D[] colliders = Physics2D.OverlapCircleAll(Vector2.zero, 10    , PlanetMask);
        Debug.Log(colliders.Length.ToString() + " Planets found");

[spring skiff]

what happen if you make something like this?

[SerializeField] public int Numbers;

Is SerializeField usefull on a public variable?

[slender nymph]

go through this to troubleshoot your overlapcircle: https://unity.huh.how/physics-queries

[summer stump]

No, it is not
Public is already serialized

[bold swallow]

What about the Gizmos though?

[tacit estuary]

public variables are automatically serialized so it won’t do anything

[slender nymph]

do you have the object selected and the component unfolded in the inspector?

[spring skiff]

so, its useless in combination of public.

[sturdy kelp]

I think I found it-- I was hitting the x in the top-right instead of using the "exit" function under file, I guess one reloads the settings properly. Thanks!

[bold swallow]

what do you mean unfolded?

[slender nymph]

i mean, is the component not folded in the inspector

also do you even have gizmos enabled?

[bold swallow]

it appears I am not familiar with the term "folded" when it comes to gameobjects in the inspector.

and yes I have gizmos enabled

[slender nymph]

you know how every component has a little > arrow next to its name and you can click it and it hides the component as if it were some sort of foldout display?

not folded

folded

[bold swallow]

Oh ok I get it

no it is not folded

[slender nymph]

but it is selected in the hierarchy, yes?

[bold swallow]

yes

but I managed to find the OverlapCircleAll() issue

so there is no need to solve the gizmos thing anymore

[sturdy kelp]

jk lol, it has started reloading domain again :(

[slender nymph]

i'm pretty sure it has to reload the domain when you compile 🤔

[teal viper]

Yeah, but it shouldn't compile on alt tab

[slender nymph]

it's entering play mode that domain reloads can be disabled for

[slender nymph]

entering the editor again is what is triggering the compile/domain reload

[sturdy kelp]

no no, I just mean the popup window prevents alt-tab to unity, its a windows thing

[teal viper]

It will of course. It's blocking the main thread

[sturdy kelp]

is it just cope or get a second monitor lol

[teal viper]

The question is wether it happens after alt tabing from your ide

[sturdy kelp]

I don't think so, is the reload just a thing to deal with?

[teal viper]

Yes. That's what needs to happen on recompiling your scripts(to apply the changes that you made)

[slender nymph]

you might be able to turn off the auto refresh, of course if that stops it from reloading the domain, that means its also not recompiling so you'd have to trigger that manually

[real monolith]

nahh mate id need a physics degree for this

pardon, one question
I did this

insteaad of this

but theres some input lag

[spark yoke]

I don't think that would cause input lag on it's own. Did you change anything else?

[real monolith]

i didnt

[spark yoke]

Can you show some more of the code?

And, if you switch to the old lines, does the input lag go away?

[real monolith]

trying rn

[real monolith]

yeah

[spark yoke]

I have no idea why changing those two lines would cause input lag. And can you clarify: By lag do you mean a delay, or unexpected rotation?

[real monolith]

little input lag + view lagging a bit more

i think its because it first moves the player object and then the camera so the camera gets rotate a bit later

can this be it?

[spark yoke]

The order does not matter, it's in the same update function so they will be done within the same frame.
Is anything else modifying either rotation?

[real monolith]

wdym

[spark yoke]

Do you have another script that interacts with either object?

[real monolith]

only a PlayerMovement class

this does not seem to interact with the camera tho

[spark yoke]

There's really nothing that should be creating lag then. Are you absolutely sure you notice a delay? And this delay goes away when using the one line instead?

[real monolith]

a bit less now

i removed some stuff from the terrain

[teal viper]

Mixing up rigidbody and character controller is a terrible idea and would cause more issues than just jiterring.

[real monolith]

idk lol, thank you Frog!

[real monolith]

who are you talking to sorry?

[teal viper]

i think your issue is the only one being discussed now.

[real monolith]

there was a post before but i did not use any rigidbody

[mortal spade]

so im raycasting and my debug ray works as intended but the actual one doesnt? see attached any help is appreciated

private void FixedUpdate()
    {
        Debug.DrawRay(transform.position, transform.forward * maxDistance, Color.green);
        RaycastHit hit;
        if (Physics.Raycast(transform.position, transform.forward, out hit, maxDistance))
        {
            Debug.Log("Raycast hit: " + hit.collider.gameObject.name);

            if (hit.collider.gameObject.CompareTag("screen"))
            {
                Debug.Log("Screen detected");
                script.playerLooking = true;
            }
        }
    }

[twin bolt]

How do i fix rigidbody jitter?

[wintry quarry]

enable interpolation on the Rigidbody

[teal viper]

Oh, okay. Misread the code. I thought you were setting rb velocity.

[real monolith]

np

[wintry quarry]

what do you men by "doesn't work"? What is going wrong?

[twin bolt]

I did, and its mostly when moving sideways.

[wintry quarry]

you'd have to show the code etc

[mortal spade]

the actual raycaster in the if statement isnt detecting anything and its not displayed in editor

[wintry quarry]

then there is no collider there

[twin bolt]

This is it ```targetVelocity = new Vector3(Input.GetAxis("Horizontal"), 0, Input.GetAxis("Vertical"));

        Vector3 MoveVector = transform.TransformDirection(Vector3.ClampMagnitude(targetVelocity, 1f) * playerSpeed);


        rb.velocity = new Vector3(MoveVector.x, rb.velocity.y, MoveVector.z);```

[wintry quarry]

nothing here will cause jitter

[slender nymph]

are you sure it is the rigidbody that is jittering and not perhaps the camera?

[mortal spade]

nnno its just not raycasting and i dont know why, it has a collider

[twin bolt]

I'm using a camera as a child of this object, could that cause issues?

[slender nymph]

yes

don't make your camera a child of the object. and also use cinemachine

[wintry quarry]

wdym "it's not rycasting"? Clearly it's raycasting since the ray is being drawn i.e. the code is running

[wintry quarry]

show the collider

[mortal spade]

the debug ray is being drawn, not the actual one. heres collider

[wintry quarry]

you have an error in your console

what is it

also what is being printed?

[slender nymph]

you're also hiding your regular logs

[twin bolt]

Would following this object using script work?

[wintry quarry]

Yes but it means the code is running, so the raycast is happening

[mortal spade]

unassigned reference from player controller

[slender nymph]

cinemachine will be better

[mortal spade]

didnt notice this holdon

[wintry quarry]

where? In this code?

[mortal spade]

other code but it doesnt effect anything so im going to fix it later

[twin bolt]

Would it be hard to replace my current setup?

[mortal spade]

i think i found the issue tho

[slender nymph]

no, it's actually fairly easy to use. check the docs pinned in #🎥┃cinemachine to get started

[mortal spade]

aii i figured it out there was a collider in the way, thx for the help

[twin bolt]

Okay i did it, and suprisingly it works easily, only problem is that my movement script moves x and z, regardless of what way i'm lookiong.

[slender nymph]

i don't know what you mean by that

[nimble apex]

as u guys see, im dealing with server error responses , i think a dictionary would be better than bunch of if in this case?

u guys think 658 part can be merged into the dictionary as well?

[north kiln]

This dictionary should not be allocated every time you call the method if it's not changing every time, that's the only thing I have to add

[nimble apex]

it wont be

its more like a constant

but its quite complex

[verbal dome]

Doesn't seem constant, you are declaring it in a method

Make it static?

In the class

[nimble apex]

this is dictionary<string,action>()

but the action in dictionary contains another action

which is declared inside a function

so i cant pull it out

aight

static class

maybe that will do

[verbal dome]

Class doesn't need to be static, unless you want it to

Just a static dict

[nimble apex]

oh ok

[verbal dome]

@nimble apex And yeah you can put 658 into the dictionary too, just pass a method or put the if-statement into the lambda

[nimble apex]

oh nice

btw cant pull it out, unless this dictionary is being put into a separate class, some variables are declared inside the function its in rn

u cant make dictionary static as local collection right?

[verbal dome]

Nah, you gotta restructure it a bit I think

[nimble apex]

inside the dictionary, their action will include the two actions above

wait

i can

i just need to make those two as a function

[verbal dome]

Yeah that's what I meant with 'pass a method'

If needed

[nimble apex]

nice ty

[nimble apex]

i think this needs to be put into static class

the problem my team facing now, is this dictionary will need to be used under various scene controlling scripts, like from different scene

the script that i used now is from one of the controlling scripts

if i make it to a static class i dont need to put the dictionary into 10+ scene controlling scripts right?

[sacred orbit]

Would anyone know what I should look up if I wanted to splice two animations together if the animated object hits a collider? I know how to do the collider part, just don't know where to start with splicing animations

[wintry quarry]

#🏃┃animation

[sacred orbit]

alright, I didn't know if this was a scripting thing or an animation thing, thanks

[nimble apex]

eventually my dictionary is finished , ty👍

unity can do indexer on dictionary to add a new set of stuff if it doesnt exist in dictionary?

anyway this is my call part to the dictionary

yep its tidier lol

[edgy fox]

I opened unity and got hit with these errors. I think LinearOffset got unassigned somehow but I can not reassign it as the script is greyed out

[gaunt ice]

there are compile errors
so your script wont be compiled

[formal escarp]

hey guys i have a quick question

"PlayerTransform = GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag ("Player").transform;" is a valid line of code. however
"PlayerTransform = GameObject.FindGameObjectsWithTag ("Player").transform;" is not?

[frosty hound]

Because the second returns an array of objects

[gaunt ice]

GameObject.FindGameObjectsWithTag ("Player").transform

[tribal zephyr]

guys i need a bit of help with my procedural generation script

[nimble apex]

u cannot just refer to transform of a collection of game objects

u need to make another collection , loop thru and add up each transform of the game objects

oh

cuz it kinda spawns slightly at the edge, how can i prevent this

[gaunt ice]

i wonder how the -5.03, 0.57 0.09 come up
the rotation is correct btw by they overlap, that means the spawn position is wrong
and please dont Find() every time

[tribal zephyr]

yeah, the spawn position is weird

if i remove all the adding and stuff, it'll like be going down for some reason

like a stair case a little

ok i removed those things, it worked ish, but it goes down and the rooms are like overalping with the previous room

Is there a way I can relate a variable to another set variable?

Here's the code that I tried:

Variables I am trying to relate it to

[gaunt ice]

or you mean transform? though it is still not called as size but scale

[sacred orbit]

gameObject.transform.scale = new Vector3(xSize, ySize, zSize)

I could use switch but I would like to be as light with the resource use as possible

[north kiln]

What do you mean by that? Switch statements are not heavy on anything

[sacred orbit]

oh really?

[timber tide]

maybe if you have a switch of 50 things you're checking every update

[sacred orbit]

It's just this would be in Update() so I thought running a switch statement every frame wouldn't be great

[north kiln]

More like a switch of 10,000 things, as in, running 10,000x

[sacred orbit]

ok thank you

[charred spoke]

That still wont make a dent 🤣

[timber tide]

well, for a single instance I guessss

[sacred orbit]

I am really new to unity and c# so thiuss is good to know

I've been a bit too worried about lag then

[north kiln]

Don't consider yourself with performance until you're actually experiencing it and know how it works and how to resolve it

just speculatively avoiding things is a great way to get nowhere and write bad code in the process

[charred spoke]

Im not sure what you are trying to do. You want heldItem to be storage1 2 or 3 ?

[north kiln]

Whenever you're numbering variables you probably should just be using an array or list instead

[sacred orbit]

storagenGO is storage number game object, just swapping between 3 gameobjects for an inventory system

but my problem is solved, thanks

[edgy fox]

Huh did they change it because I havent changed this code in months

wait for some reason I moved the declaration of linearoffset (a box collider) into a line of declarations of gameobjects

no clue how I did that

or why at least

my visual studio no longer autofills variable types; what settings did I change that I need to unchange?

what are the practical usages of generics and polymorphism in C#?

[north kiln]

Generics allow you to write shared code once for multiple different types

[gaunt ice]

system.collections.generic

[timber tide]

I find generics pretty useful with data coupling when it comes to scriptable objects

[north kiln]

Polymorphism, requires a object-oriented approach so it's less useful; but storing similar things in the same place while having them run different implementations

[lunar tapir]

I'm trying to make conways game of life in Unity.

Is there a way to make these tilemap lines visible in the game view?

It looks weird without the lines

[timber tide]

if not, then consider drawing via GL Lines

[lunar tapir]

thanks, I will look that up

[timber tide]

Could maybe try LineRender as well, but I've not really used it for a large amount of lines before

would require a GO for each so extra overhead

[gaunt ice]

you can draw line this, but no one can understand your code after 2 months
(just fetch the eular path or solving chinese postman problem)

[rich adder]

I have one example for a save system if you want to save different objects but only use 1 method, generic is very good to keep method modular

Could someone help me figure out why this script is doing nothing? It is supposed to drag the image with my mouse but its not moving, the event is also not even getting called?

using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.UI;
using UnityEngine.EventSystems;

public class DraggableItem : MonoBehaviour, IBeginDragHandler, IDragHandler, IEndDragHandler
{
    public void OnBeginDrag(PointerEventData eventData)
    {
        Debug.Log("Begin Drag");
    }

    public void OnDrag(PointerEventData eventData)
    {
        Debug.Log("Dragging");
        transform.position = Input.mousePosition;
    }

    public void OnEndDrag(PointerEventData eventData)
    {
        Debug.Log("End Drag");
    }
}

The script is attached to each image

im going to bed but any help would be read and appreciated in a few hours

[lunar tapir]

idk about the events but I don't think transform.position = Input.mousePosition; will work as expected, because Input.mousePosition returns the coordinates in Screen space

try
Camera.main.ScreenToWorldPoint(Input.mousePosition)

[north kiln]

As for the other general issue: https://unity.huh.how/ugui/input-issues

[radiant sail]

how would i change the transform.LookAt rotation so its actually pointing at the player rather than pointing upwards in the direction of the player (the muzzle flash is pointing at an angle that the player cant see)

[visual hedge]

Hello everyone. I will try to explain the problem that I've encountered:
I am trying to create a turn-based game. Turnbase structure is approximately: Battle start / (Before Turn / Turn / After turn) / Battle end
Before turn - turn - after turn goes till one side is alive. So the side that has alive units wins at some points and triggers battle end. Pretty standard.
But the problem I have is at this point: I want to trigger some status effects that are placed on character (basically some buffs shall trigger something, like maybe healing at the end of turn).
I have no problem checking if the buff is still there and remove it from character if it expired, but I have problem with actually triggering the active part of the buff.
Do I use Events in this case and subscribe the buff script to "after turn" or "before turn"?
So basically if there's turn end and buff is triggered aat turn end, it will then receive that event trigger and will then fire it's active method?
I am sorry if I am not clear enough, it's quite complicated for me to explain at this point where the problem is.

[cunning rapids]

Hey guys, I'm wondering if deleting unused instances of an object will optimize my game

Since I'm constantly creating instances of prefabs and game objects in my game and there are lots of unused ones left over

I'm sure it would but I don't know the best way to implement such a feature

[cunning rapids]

Are you using a particle system for your muzzle flash or some sort of game object?

Show us the code for your muzzle flash as well how you handle it

[dark hatch]

i have this code for a tentacle basically. the targetDir is a child of the linerenderer object so that i can determine the angle of the tentacle. How can i add something like a sine wave to basically make sure that the tentacle never comes to rest as a straight line, but in a wiggle.

[dark hatch]

solved

[wicked blaze]

So, im trying to make an really basic crouch system and there are no errors in the console but i dont really see anything happening when i hold down left control and i dont really know whats going wrong. I made it by myself so I knew there would be some complications.

[queen adder]

did you set the values in the crouchHeight?

also where did you put that code in. You should try to put some Debug.Log messages to make sure your codes are being called at least

[wicked blaze]

yeah

[wicked blaze]

ah

ill try

[queen adder]

also check the value in the editor, the numbers in the code doesnt matter anymore once your script is read by the editor already

[north kiln]

What are you expecting it to do? If controller is just a CharacterController it'll just make the collider shorter

[cunning rapids]

Guys, I have an issue with my muzzle flash. While the effect is working fine, the way it works is that it creates an instance of an object that contains the particle systems for the muzzle flash, however it keeps the unused instaces. Should i use an object pool?

[wicked blaze]

Its definitely being called

[cunning rapids]

@wicked blaze

[cunning rapids]

Here

[wicked blaze]

yeah im reading it all dont worry

[cunning rapids]

Only the collider is getting shorter, not the player itself

[wicked blaze]

yeahhhh i also just figured it out now

how do i make the player also shorter when its pressed

[queen adder]

you can change the scale, but depends on your cahracter

if it's like a simple box, that should work just fine

if it's like a human model, prolly not

[wicked blaze]

its an capsule...

i can see that the character controller is changing to 0.7 when i press left control

[queen adder]

yea that should be fine, just change the transform.localscale

[wicked blaze]

alright

[wicked blaze]

do i replace the controller.height with transform.localscale or

[cunning rapids]

Just change the transform of your player ```cs
transform.localScale = new Vector3(1f, 0.5f, 1f);

[dark hatch]

doesn't Vector3.one * height work here

[cunning rapids]

I think so

[queen adder]

actually no, that would change all dimensions

[wicked blaze]

yayyyy, its working!

thanks

[cunning rapids]

No problem

[wicked blaze]

im thinking about adding crawling on the floor to my game just dont know how i would turn the player capsule so its in an laying position

[dark hatch]

oh right it's crouching

[cunning rapids]

Make another variable to go lower and slower

and apply the same logic

[dark hatch]

transform.rotation = Quaternion.Euler(0f, 90f, 0f); will make it sleep on the ground i guess

[queen adder]

izza capsule, it should just roll

[wicked blaze]

litteraly

i just read that in an italian accent

[cunning rapids]

If you want to stretch the collider across the x axis, add a variable for the length of the collider when laying as well

To pretend you're leaning I guess

[wicked blaze]

yeahh

[cunning rapids]

It's a first person game right?

[wicked blaze]

i just cant imagine when ill have to make an actual player models and then add all the animations for crouching, hitting, crawling, ect.

[wicked blaze]

yeah

[cunning rapids]

If it's an FPS, you don't

Unless it's multiplayer

[wicked blaze]

yeah

[cunning rapids]

Since you don't even see your own player model anyway

[wicked blaze]

yeah

thanks for the help everybody

[cunning rapids]

So why would you want to add animations and player models?

[wicked blaze]

im thinking about the ones that you can see in first person, if you are doing something with your hand ect

whats the key that is ussualy use when crawling

[cunning rapids]

You can still do that without having to see your own player model

[cunning rapids]

LCTRL

or C

[wicked blaze]

i think im going to have to use C since left control is for crouching for me

[queen adder]

z is usually for prone

[wicked blaze]

damn

well

[cunning rapids]

z is nice as well

Shift for sprint

etc.

You can add a dropdown to change it in the inspector to whatever you think is best

[wicked blaze]

ill see

[wicked blaze]

ill probably add that

[cunning rapids]

It's easy

[wicked blaze]

i kinda forgot whats the normal state of the rotation

[cunning rapids]

Just ```cs
public KeyCode crouchKey;

[wicked blaze]

is it just 0f, 0f, 0f

[cunning rapids]

0, 90, 0 will rotate it 90 degrees in the y axis

[queen adder]

Quaternion.identity

[cunning rapids]

It changes based on where you look

[wicked blaze]

alright

[queen adder]

Quaternion.Euler results are consistent anyways, (0,0,0) should work, but .identity is the peep for this

[wicked blaze]

definetly works but now i kinda cant even turn my camera or look in other direction

and my crouch kinda stopped working

i can look up and down

but side to side isnt working

[cunning rapids]

Quaternion.identity sets all your rotation to default (no rotation)

Show your code

[wicked blaze]

here it is

i dont really know why the crouching stopped working all of a sudden

[queen adder]

you should do a state machine

that make sure you are only in one state of chrouch, walk or crawl

[wicked blaze]

and i have never realy heard of that

something new

[cunning rapids]

Do you have a boolean to check if you're crouching?

[queen adder]

just something like ```cs
public enum Movestate { walk, crawl, crouch};
public Movestate currentState = Movestate.walk;

[cunning rapids]

@queen adder

[wicked blaze]

no really

i guess i should probably make one

[cunning rapids]

I think you can just use booleans to sswitch between states, no?

[queen adder]

actually, it's quite confusing to implement right now, and i dont really have much time to guide rn

just do a bool that keeps flipping back and forth, easy fix for now

[cunning rapids]

That's what I do lmao

[wicked blaze]

wait, i dont really know how to fix it

so the looking still works when i crouch

[deep bear]

Hi all, I'm having an issue with my EventSystem. I have an EventSystem prefab that has a script attached to it that contains this code to make it persist between scenes and have it be a singleton:

{
    if (current == null)
        current = this;
    else
        Destroy(gameObject);

    DontDestroyOnLoad(gameObject);
}```

I have a scene called BattleScene that contains a Canvas with a button that when clicked, calls a function from the EventSystem (image attached). The EventSystem object referenced there is the one I dragged into the scene.

My issue is that when the "BattleScene" is the first scene loaded, it works fine. But if I start in another scene and then transition to the BattleScene, it doesn't work at all. It's as if the button doesn't have a connection to the EventSystem. What may cause this?

All of my scenes have the EventSystem prefab added as an object

[languid spire]

not a good idea to call DontDestroyOnLoad right after Destroy

[queen adder]

doesnt matter though?

the problem is the reference is getting lost because they're recycling something from another scene

[deep bear]

Oh I see... If you don't mind me asking, what's the best solution in this case?

[queen adder]

not do ddol

[deep bear]

I moved it to inside the if block. Is that better?

[deep bear]

Oh I see

[queen adder]

what is TriggerBattleDeckButton

[languid spire]

yes

[deep bear]

It's a method inside of the EventSystem's script that invokes the "BattleDeckButtonClicked" action

[queen adder]

EventSystem is a unity class though, if that is your script, you'll want to rename it, cause it can cause confusion (or potentially errors, someday)

[deep bear]

Oh I see, I had no idea. I usually reference it by saying EventSystem.current which gives it the static instance of the class. But I'll change the name just in case.

I tried removing the ddol but that doesn't seem to have worked.

[queen adder]

just change your whole awake to current = this

[wicked blaze]

hmm, when using the Quaternion.identity my camera is pointing to one side and i cant really look left to right only up and down.

i dont really know how i can set the rotation to the one that was before

the normal one

[deep bear]

This unfortunately didn't work either, but I think I know what the issue might be. When I created my first Canvas, it automatically created an "EventSystem" object. I added a script to this object and made it a prefab. Is it possible that I should have instead just made a brand new "Event Manager" object instead of using the auto generated one?

[queen adder]

use a bool that tracks whether ur player is crawling, then flip it when you Input.GetKeyDown(c)

only then you will rotate the player

[wicked blaze]

aha

wait, so am i supposed to put the bool into an if or

i dont really understand

[queen adder]

can you send the whole file with the Trigger Battle something? not sure how you made your own method in eventsystem

[deep bear]

Oh it was my own script that I attached. But I think that I have a very poor understanding of the EventSystem.

Is Unity's EventSystem set in place so that you can have buttons interact with your game without writing code?

is this the right channel to ask doubts related to netcode?

[queen adder]

just put your codes that rotates everything inside

Is it a good idea to have a Init method which replaces constructor in MonoBehaviours?

[static cedar]

Why do u even have constructors for MonoBehaviours?

Unity builds components themselves. You won't get the chance to call init or the constructor to use them.

I mean, I want to inject a dependency to a MonoBehaviour and I can't find any better way to do it

[queen adder]

it's common, but usually Awake work for the job

[static cedar]

If you need arguments. I'd suggest make a static method.

Something like this is something like this.

public class MyComponent
{
  public int Something { get; private set; }

  public static MyComponent AddComponentToThat(GameObject game_object, int value_of_something)
  {
    MyComponent @new = game_object.AddComponent<MyComponent>();
    @new.Something = value_of_something;
  }
}

And try not to call AddComponent outside it. :p

I don't normally do this. I construct an entire game object with necessary components instead.

Instantiate(yourClass).Init(34);

[static cedar]

Doesn't Instantiate return a UnityEngine.Object?

[queen adder]

it return a generic T

[static cedar]

Ah.

[spiral oak]

Well, I think I'll refactor the code so I don't have to inject dependencies into a MonoBehaviour. Thank you both!
