[stuck palm]

idk what it is

did u find anything with the particle systems btw?

[rocky canyon]

looks like its grabbing the first collider.. and if ur happening to be overlapping (2) of em.. it just gets the first one and ignores the 2nd

[stuck palm]

maybe they are overlapping or something

[rocky canyon]

nothing that i would think would help ya out.. just the basic stuff

[stuck palm]

making it smaller and nothing happened so

idk whats up with that

[fervent abyss]

I'd love if someone explain me what are Interfaces in C# for
Ive watched some youtube videos about this but still dont get it

[rich adder]

a simple way to "enforce" other scripts to implement a certain method/prop

[polar acorn]

It is a way to basically say "I don't know anything about this object, what type it is, what it does, but I can 100% guarantee it has these functions that take these parameters"

So, if you really don't care what an object does when it gets shot (Is it a crate that breaks? An enemy that dies? A target that opens up a locked door?) you can have an IShootable interface on all of them and your bullet can just say "Please call your GetShot() method, whatever it is"

[fervent abyss]

So is it just a thing with methods/variables that you cant give behaviour to, but you can add the interface, and give these methods/variables inside a behaviour that you want?

[rocky canyon]

IClickable with a CLick() method for example... it can be a NPC it could be the player, or a pickup.. each script would use the IClickable interface.. so each script would need the Click() method for it to compile.. so now u can call Click() on anything u click and the script will handle w/e it does..

[rich adder]

interfaces dont have any behaviors, how they are implemented are unique to each class that implements interface method

[rocky canyon]

that way ur click script that does the clicking doesnt need to do a check each time to find out what type of script ur clicking on

[fervent abyss]

And you just put your behaviours into the implemented interface methods?

[rich adder]

yeah each script handles it differently

[rocky canyon]

yessir

[rich adder]

but they all have the same method

[rocky canyon]

so it works for things that are common

IClickable. IDamageable. IMoveable

etc

[polar acorn]

It's a thing that defines methods and properties, but doesn't implement them. You can make any other class implement that interface, and the compiler will force you to add those methods/properties to that object, and an instance of any object that implements that interface can be stored in that variable.

Using the example above, you'd have classes with type lines that look like this:

public class BreakableCrate : MonoBehaviour, IShootable
public class Enemy : MonoBehaviour, IShootable
public class Target : MonoBehaviour, IShootable

And your bullet could simply do:

other.GetComponent<IShootable>().GetShot();

and it'll get whichever MonoBehaviour on that object implements IShootable

[fervent abyss]

Whats the prupose if you can just make these methods in the script yourself

[rocky canyon]

#💻┃code-beginner message

[rich adder]

to share commonality when you don't care about a particular script

[rocky canyon]

its so when u click u dont have to do 10 different checks to find out what kind of Method ur calling..

[polar acorn]

Without interfaces, your bullet would need to do this:

if (other.TryGetComponent(out BreakableCrate crate) {
  crate.GetShot();
} else if (other.TryGetComponent(out Enemy enemy) {
  enemy.GetShot();
} else if (other.TryGetComponent(out Target target) {
  target.GetShot();
}

[rocky canyon]

^ to avoid that exactly

[polar acorn]

And any time you added a new shootable thing you'd need to go change this function

[rich adder]

exactly you would have a huge mess of if checks

[polar acorn]

If you use interfaces, you can add in a new script:

public class Balloon : MonoBehaviour, IShootable

and it instantly works with the bullet, no other changes needed

[rocky canyon]

        if(confirmedHit)
        {
            if(!shiftModifier)
            {
                if(hit.collider.TryGetComponent(out Unit_RX orderRx))
                {
                    SelectUnit(orderRx);
                }

                if(hit.collider.TryGetComponent(out Selectable selectedTarget))
                {
                    Select_WorldObject(selectedTarget);
                }
                Debug.Log("Normal Click");
            }
            else
            {
                Debug.Log("Shift + Click");
                if(hit.collider.TryGetComponent(out Selectable selectedTarget))
                {
                    //HandleSelectedTarget(selectedTarget);
                }
                else
                {
                    HandleUnselectable(hit.collider,hit.point);
                }
            }
        }``` heres an example of my script that imma be changing over to interfaces

no need for a big ass nasty if else chain. esp when i start adding more and more selectable objects

[spare umbra]

While other Actions are working, Look is not

What is wrong?

[polar acorn]

Did you save the input asset and make sure "generate C#" is checked?

[fervent abyss]

OHH So with interfaces you just do the InterfaceMethod(classHere); instead of this all?

[rich adder]

no

[rocky canyon]

u dont even have to tell it what class..

[spare umbra]

yep

[polar acorn]

With the interface, it's just:

other.GetComponent<IShootable>().GetShot()

[rocky canyon]

all it knows is if its an Interface of that type.. it calls the method regardless

each method would be written to do different things in each script that uses that interface

[polar acorn]

If you try to use Look, do you get any errors in Unity, or just the IDE? It might need to have the project files regenerated to realize the input asset changed

[fervent abyss]

Ohhhhh I think I got it

[robust condor]

If I have a function I want to run every 5 seconds, not every frame, how can I slow that down?

[rich adder]

use coroutine

[robust condor]

With yield seconds?

[fervent abyss]

Thanks

[rich adder]

right

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Coroutine.html

[robust condor]

And I can put that in Update?

[rich adder]

no you don't need update at all

[polar acorn]

No you put it in a coroutine

[spare umbra]

it's just the IDE

no errors in unity

[polar acorn]

Yeah, try regenerating project files

[spare umbra]

Btw the difference between get axis raw and the new way is too big

I mean, is this the equivalent of getaxisraw

[robust condor]

But how do I make it run forever? That ends after 5 seconds. Do I put a while loop inside it?

[rich adder]

yes

[rocky canyon]

https://hatebin.com/thcuqpgtku
an example usage.. Interface at the top, two different scripts that use the interface in the middle.. and on the bottom how a script would determine if its an interface and call the Method of it, edit: as long as it find a script that uses the interface you know u can call the Method... b/c all the classes using it MUST have that function in order to be properly implemented

[spare umbra]

That worked thank you so much!

[fervent abyss]

Tysm

[trail fox]

im tryna make an inventory but need a design where can i make it

[rocky canyon]

have fun 👍

inventories are tough to design from scratch

[trail fox]

where can i do it tho

[rich adder]

in the code

[rocky canyon]

what do you mean where?

[trail fox]

cant i just use sprites or smth

[rocky canyon]

you can use sprites, text, or pixels.. or anything else u want

[rich adder]

wat?

[trail fox]

yea

for the ui

[shrewd swift]

i got a question

to interpret visual scripting ,unity automatically builds .cs files right ?

[rocky canyon]

start browsing for tutroials.. or examples on youtube or github.

[shrewd swift]

like shader graph builds shader assets

[rocky canyon]

find one thats already built on the asset store.. and reverse engineer it

you code inside an IDE (Visual Studio Community) (VS Code) (Notepad)

an inventory would be a mix of Graphical elements.. and code

[shrewd swift]

I know this is technically unrelated to coding since im going to talk about visual scripting, but I got a friend that loses ALL created variables when building (out of the project folder ofc)

what could be the reason ? it happened multiple times

[rich adder]

#763499475641172029

[shrewd swift]

if the answer is yes then asking here can be the good place

[rocky canyon]

All the assemblies are located in /GAME NAME_Data/Managed/```

[shrewd swift]

mh

[rocky canyon]

it isn't technically .cs files after you build

[shrewd swift]

but does is go through the process of creating cs files before compiling ?

[polar acorn]

Probably not

It likely compiles into machine code like the CS files do

[shrewd swift]

i asked the question on the VS server in case, maybe someones knows for sure

idk how unity can remove variables from grpah assets when building

ty for the answers guys

[shrewd swift]

for anyone wondering :
No, it's a reflection based interpreter.

[rocky canyon]

tell ur friend to rip the bandaid off and start coding in csharp

in the long run, they'll not regret it

[languid spire]

Actually CS does not compile to machine code. It compiles to IL which is interpreted into machine code at runtime, that is what makes it possible to be multi platform

[rocky canyon]

ive seen that before whats IL abbreviation?

[polar acorn]

Intermediate Language I believe

[rich adder]

Intermediate lang

[languid spire]

IL Intermediate Language

[prisma silo]

transform.position.y = cameraGameOBject.transform.position.y;
``` doing this gives me the error Cannot modify the return value of 'Transform.position' because it is not a variable

[rich adder]

yes you cannot directly change a prop in v3

[rocky canyon]

u cant directly modify the transform's individual properties

[prisma silo]

oh ok

[polar acorn]

You cannot both get and set an individual component of position in the same line. You'd need to store the current position in a Vector3 variable, modify the vector, then set it back

[rocky canyon]

copy the entire value, edit that and plug it back in 👍

[prisma silo]

ig ill just make a new vector 3

[rocky canyon]

we need some slash commands for vertx's page 😄

[shrewd swift]

the deadline is to close for him to restart unfortunately
no worries everyday i tell him chsarp is better :)

[rocky canyon]

always with a deadline lol

[shrewd swift]

xD

"school" project

[rocky canyon]

well, they might require him to do it in visual scripting

iono, but i dont trust visual scripting at all. u kinda confirmed it better for me

[shrewd swift]

since its Game Design they dont have time to make us learn coding

so most people that never programmed or to lazy to learn goes with UVS

lucky i already did a lot of lua, py and php so learning csharp wasnt that hard for my game project scope

it was more about learning how unity works

[rocky canyon]

ya, that makes sense.. if i were to chose tho i'd pick a very small project im able to complete (even with little scripting knowledge) than a bigger one that i end up not finishing with visual scripting (which seems easier from the outside looking in)

[shrewd swift]

before learnign unity, i was using blueprints in UE for 1 year and a half

and damn that UE did a good damn job with VS

i first tried unity VS but it was horible

[rocky canyon]

if you say so

[shrewd swift]

cmon i dont see any issues

[rocky canyon]

ya, cuz u cant see anything 😄

this needs fixed
burns down computer

[rich adder]

to be fair I've seen people's code be exactly the same thing

you just don't "see it"

[shrewd swift]

VS code cant be more easily messy than other languages
but csharp can still be a bunch of code written evrywhere with no logic

[rocky canyon]

lol. atleast you can use keywords and the find function to help..

[rich adder]

eh as long as you can get the job done, doesn't matter what you use

[rocky canyon]

ya, in my opinion tho its easier to get into a good work flow.. with structure when learning to hard code

in visual scripting ur just moving around nodes to make them look pretty

ive seen a youtuber that coded on his telephone..

so ur correct @rich adder the tools are irrelevant.. (in a sense)

[shrewd swift]

yeah VS doesnt help you to get well structured

[rocky canyon]

you can hammer a nail into the wall with a screwdriver if u want..

it'll eventually go in

[rich adder]

yeah you'd be surprised how many diff successful indies just use visual scripting or maybe drag n drop like Game Maker

[rocky canyon]

gotta give respect where respect is due

[shrewd swift]

this is a kinda well sorted graph for me

like regular code each people got their manners

[rocky canyon]

ya, thats pretty normal

[rich adder]

still looks horrible but ig depends what you're used to reading

[rocky canyon]

you can group the nodes together too to make it even better

[shrewd swift]

yeah im to used to xD

this was before making it more readable

[shrewd swift]

wdym

[rocky canyon]

u can encapsulate nodes into a group

and clean it up a lot

what are they. Macros i think they call em

[shrewd swift]

yeah ik

let me open my project

damn its been more than half a year i didnt do UE

Unity takes all my time :(

[rocky canyon]

ya, i thought i was going to swap to unreal.. but came right back to unity..

unreal is pretty but unity to me is easier and more powerful

[shrewd swift]

im still team UE
but Unity is really decent

thought it was trash tbh ...

didnt dig much of it before trying to dev

[rocky canyon]

well if ur in the UE echo-chamber.. thats probably what id expect

[shrewd swift]

each of those grpah are like aroudn this size

[rocky canyon]

ya, thats better.. thats the only way i can use visual scripting.. is to use different colors and groupings

otherwise i get super lost

[shrewd swift]

introducing a part of my save system

atleast its pretty

[rocky canyon]

pretty spaghetti

[shrewd swift]

yeah #region isnt enough

[rocky canyon]

gotta use Headers too

[shrewd swift]

yeah for inspector

but iwas talking the code in visual studio

[rocky canyon]

mmhmm, im constantly organizing

having OCD and game developing is a hassle..

[shrewd swift]

i always try to make readable inspectors when needed

[rocky canyon]

niice..

is that NaughtyAttributes?

[shrewd swift]

yeah

and the dictionarry stuff is from rotary heart

allows me to serialize it

[rocky canyon]

pretty tidy inspector

[shrewd swift]

ty

(im a maniac)

[rocky canyon]

do u always make ur floats and integers into sliders like that

[shrewd swift]

no

rarely

but when i know the limits i usually do a big slider

[icy junco]

can anyone help me everytime i start game my player just starts floating away

[languid spire]

ask yourself, could I help someone based solely on the information I have just provided?

[icy junco]

my bad hahah srry so i dont know what the problem could be i think it will be something in my code or is it something in the unity player settings i dont know but when i start game the player object just starts slowely floading away i can provide my code if u want

[languid spire]

this is a code channel, so what do you think?

[icy junco]

https://hatebin.com/lmbcoogvim this is the code

[graceful citrus]

what? everything looks fine what is this?

[languid spire]

First thing you need to do is fix your logic, you have a lot of bools there that you are setting to true but you never set any of them back to false

[wooden bay]

Is there a way to reset Coroutines? In my code I start a coroutine and then part way through it I stop it in a different part of the script. Instead of stopping it I want to stop it and have it reset so the next time I call StartCoroutine it plays from the beginning.

[icy junco]

okay thank you I will chnage it

[languid spire]

show the stack trace

[rich adder]

StartCoroutine always starts from the beginning

there is no "Reset" Coroutine

[wooden bay]

I thought stoping a coroutine stops it where its at and then start plays it from there

Mb

[languid spire]

how are you stopping your coroutine?

[graceful citrus]

a what now?

[rich adder]

StopCoroutine stops the whole coroutine

[wooden bay]

Ah

Maybe my issue is just a different part of my script then

[rich adder]

perhaps state your actual issue

instead of asking for X problem is prob Y

[languid spire]

Coroutine cor = StartCoroutine(MyMethod());
...
StopCoroutine(cor);

I suspect you are not stopping correctly

[graceful citrus]

oh shit

i just realised what it is

its not that but its similar

i was using gameobject.getcomponent for a component that didn't exist

🤦

[pliant sleet]

So for me my C# Intellicode extension is not working for programming in Unity , I have vs code and like it doesn't recommend other commands for me and doesn't show any information at all. I have been using vs code like that and it's quite stressing

[robust kelp]

can you use onCollisionStay instead of raycasting for ground checking or is it a bad idea because i havent seen anyone do that

[languid spire]

why would you want to? if you use Collisions for ground checking what benefit would it be over CollisionEnter and CollisionExit?

[rocky canyon]

the raycast is better

[robust kelp]

im trying to find alternative to raycast because i cant figure out how to handle slopes

[rich adder]

wdym "handle slopes" how would raycast not do anything oncollisionstay can

[eternal needle]

Then you should ask how to handle slopes. You should use one of the shape casts for this. The platform being slopped means that the ground directly under the player is further away. You also dont want to fine tune the raycast distance

[robust kelp]

i thought oncolissionstay would be more precise and i wouldnt have to adjust raycast lenght

[robust kelp]

ill try it thx

[eternal needle]

You could make it work but you will run into weird edge cases. Like with a rigidbody slightly bumping up and then not being grounded when they only moved like 0.001 units upwards

[languid spire]

CollisionStay is never a good solution for ground check

[swift crag]

Got any compile errors right now?

Freshly installed packages won't work properly until Unity manages to compile. That could be what's causing that

[solemn wraith]

Hi, I have a question. I have seen some GTA style overhead camera transition (I hope you understand) and I was wondering if it may be possible to like have some sort of script to automate it; I think unreal has something like camera cutscene idk. Or do I just have to hardcode the animation. I was just curious, thanks

[rocky canyon]

epic! lol ill expect a biased review to boost my exposure

[languid spire]

Timeline?

[rocky canyon]

^ this.. its just an animation and a camera

cinemachine would also be helpful..

has dollys, and tracking, and stuff

[solemn wraith]

Hmm, possibly what I need, but I do need to hard code every animation, correct?

[rocky canyon]

no, the timeline is a component/ a Graphical panel

[solemn wraith]

what?

Is it like a ui tool to make animations easier, is that what you are saying?

[rocky canyon]

its ^ like a video editor type thing

made for cutscenes and whotnot

[solemn wraith]

alr, nah i was wondering if there was something like you just like pre record a "template" and then all you change is the target location

im trying to make something very quick you see

[rocky canyon]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=taIEYXHgW-w&ab_channel=OmarA.Balfaqih

[rocky canyon]

if u want quick id use Cinemachine.. and some Cameras..

with cinemachine u can just toggle different camera's and it'll automatically transition between them

[solemn wraith]

really? But if I had a basic character controller, surely that would get messde up

[rocky canyon]

could make a cinemachine camera with its own animation.. and just toggle the main camera off and the new camera.. it'll automatically transition to that camera.. and then could be animated.. u could swap back to the main camera when its finished

[polar acorn]

Cinemachine and Character Controller should have nothing to do with each other

[rocky canyon]

not really.. u can just disable the camera u use for the player.. and it'll transition to the next one.. w/e one u enable..

can then just disable ur movement script stuff until u go back to it

[shell herald]

if i want to use a Tilemap Renderer component in a script, how do i do that? do i need to use additional stuff except the System.Collections, System.Collections.Generic and UnityEngine?

or do i simply use it like a Sprite renderer instead?

[rocky canyon]

Tilemap stuff should be inside the default UnityEngine;

[solemn wraith]

huh i think for me just making something really simple like just a simple coroutine in my camera controller with some lerps should do the trick actually probably i guess. thanks though! I'll definetily look into that

[slender nymph]

always check the docs

It really is super simple to use cinemachine. It actually uses the same camera.
A cinemachine camera is just basically like a placeholder for the camera..
Its just 1 component and you can set the priorities of the camera..
You can disable and enable camera's and it automatically just works.. or you can change the priorities and the camera will
go to the cinemachine camera with the highest priority..

Well, before we gett too far into the weeds: Have you saved

[honest haven]

        {
            FreeLook = GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag("Free Look");

            if (FreeLook)
            {
                FreeLook.SetActive(false);
            }

            player = GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag("Player");

            if (player)
            {
                player.SetActive(false);
            }
        }``` is this the best way to pause stuff?

[polar acorn]

no

[honest haven]

ignore the player one. the free look is cinemachine

[wraith mango]

🤦‍♂️

thank you 🤣

[polar acorn]

1. You should not be using Finds like this, you should cache those references once
2. Disabling an object is a bad way to pause it, anything that references it still runs, it'll run any OnEnable/OnDisable logic, and any non-Unity methods will still be working as normal. The best way to pause something is to have some sort of singleton "PauseManager" object that anything that's pausable can read from and handle itself being paused in its own way

[wraith mango]

quick question

is there a way to have a sprite inside of a TMP text object

like "Do X for 10 🪙"

the coin being the sprite of a coin

[rocky canyon]

yup, a singleton to pause is a good call

[honest haven]

So when you say cache get its last xyz and set player to zero. then on enable reset them values is that what you mean?

[polar acorn]

When I say cache I mean store the reference don't use Find every time

get the reference once and reuse it

[slender nymph]

does it really even need to be a singleton rather than just a static class? what benefit does it have from having an actual instance

[rocky canyon]

player = GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag("Player");

the player isnt gonna change probably.. u can cache the player as soon as the script first runs..
then just call that reference any other time you need it..

player.DoSomething()

[rocky canyon]

probably not. its going to be a core mechanic so its just there to get the ball rolling

i was thinking that it could just be a simple static class.. as thats all it does.. cs void Update() { if(Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Space)) { gameIsPaused = !gameIsPaused; PauseGame(); } } as this is all it does

[honest haven]

When you say cache this is where i get lost. are you saying get cache in the player script becuase i have access to it. And not on a Game menu script using the find.

[rocky canyon]

no hes saying dont get the same reference that it'll always be every single time you pause the game

[polar acorn]

I am saying cache the references instead of using Find over and over to re-get the same references

[slender nymph]

ah,well if you need an Update method then it would need to be an instance. i personally prefer not getting input directly in my manager classes like that but instead of other objects that get input and dispatch it to other objects like my managers

[rocky canyon]

like why would you ever need to grab the gameobjects other than once?

even if the position has changed.. the gameobject has not..

player.transform.position would still be updated to the new position of that guy.. when that function asks for it

[honest haven]

oh i see. sorry i was reading this as dont ever use find game object

sorry guys

peeny dropped

many thanks

[polar acorn]

I mean, basically

[rocky canyon]

you shouldn't unless u need to

find has to go thru the entire project

or the heirarchy atleast

[honest haven]

yes. thanks for your help.

one more thing that just popped int omy head. if this script was dont destroy on load and the player was. and im using on awake to find the object. Would awake be called again. and would i have to change script order to make sure the player Instantiated game object is being loaded first?

[summer stump]

Awake would not be called again

It is called one time in the objects life

[honest haven]

So would that then lose a cached ref to the player?

[summer stump]

Unless the Player is also in DDOL, yes

[honest haven]

player is never in any of my scenes he is being cloned

[summer stump]

I dunno what this script is, but maybe the Player could reference it and register themselves in Start?

Oh, like a PauseManager?

[honest haven]

    {
        // Check if player, camera, and Cinemachine already exist in the scene
        if (GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag("Player") == null)
        {
            Instantiate(playerPrefab);
        }
        
        if (GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag("FreeLook") == null)
        {
            Instantiate(CinemachineFreeLook);
        }
        
        // Ensure that this GameObject persists across scene changes
        DontDestroyOnLoad(gameObject);
    }```

[summer stump]

I would consider a static accessor

[honest haven]

this is my ddol

[modest dust]

If you're instantiating it there, why not just cache the returned instance and check for null instead?

[summer stump]

To be clear, you are wanting to switch scenes and do this check then?

[honest haven]

Do you mean make this a singleton?

[summer stump]

Not sure what a singleton is supposed to do with what they said?
Did you mean to respond to me saying static accessor?
Otherwise, no, caesar did not mean make it a singleton

[native seal]

so I have an inventory and on each inventory slot i have a script that will send an event when an item is dropped on it (to signal to modify the actual inventory along with the ui) How can I get a reference to that event on my scriptable object inventory which holds the logic?

like what is the best way to do it

[honest haven]

i was replying to casar then,. I was just asking if it ran awake again but you answered my question. thanks

[modest dust]

I didn't read everything but if you basically want to re-spawn the player on scene change then use OnEnable()

If I remember correctly DDOLs get disabled and re-enabled on scene change

Or this maybe https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/SceneManagement.SceneManager-sceneLoaded.html

[wild dagger]

for some reason it can't move beyond this point when I press D?? I have no idea why

[modest dust]

I also have no idea why

[wintry quarry]

Without seeing any code or the objects in the scene and how your player moves how should anyone know?

[rich egret]

yo, i need code for damage popup text

[modest dust]

Provide more detials

[wild dagger]

Yh Im just taking ss's one sec

[rich egret]

If anyone has a ready code that would be very helpful

[honest haven]

thanks

[north kiln]

Find a tutorial then

[polar acorn]

if (damage){
  PopUpText();
}

[rich egret]

XD

[blazing prairie]

Is it ok to nest actions?

[rich egret]

[wild dagger]

I've disabled everything new that I added before it was broken

And in the actual scene its genuinely just tiles, haven't added any fancy effects to them or anything

[slender nymph]

#archived-networking

[round scaffold]

yo ive always wanted to try and make this but im not sure the name of it, basically my character keeps bumping just below the edge of a platforms box collider and i want them to just get on top of that since they would have barely missed the edge is there like a name to this mechanic that i could look up or some kind of way to make it

ive heard of edge bumping but that doesnt seem to lead to anywhere

[wild dagger]

@modest dust @wintry quarry nvm I think I figured it out

do either of y'all know how to make the camera stop defaulting to the new camera that I've added?

I just want it to stick to the main

[native seal]

does anyone have a good source to learn about an event system?

[eternal needle]

Maybe named step height?

[abstract finch]

Is there a way that I could FindObjectOfType and output the variable all in one if statement? It would be similar to TryGetComponent out var

[honest haven]

So i encounted a problem because my camera and player are being instatiated on awake in another script when i use private void Awake() { freeLookCamera = GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag("FreeLook").GetComponent<CinemachineFreeLook>(); player = GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag("Player"); } in another script i get NullReferenceException. if i put it inside start it works. Will this be safe in start. all the script does or is going to do is bring up a save menu.

[ivory bobcat]

Create your own extension method

[short hazel]

As long as you follow the "initialize yourself in Awake, get references from others in Start", there will be no issues

[abstract finch]

        {

        }```
Its only for testing purposes but how does this look?

[honest haven]

you wouldnt recommend using Script Execution Order and make my DDOL come before my GameMenu script?

[short hazel]

Will throw if it did not find a matching object, so: bad

[ivory bobcat]

No. It'd be TryFindObject...

[buoyant knot]

i use custom script execution order for just a couple of things that I know must go before/after everything else

[wintry quarry]

All enabled cameras will render all the time. Drawing order is determined by camera depth

I recommend using Cinemachine instead of multiple Unity cameras if you just want multiple camera angles

[wild dagger]

Ok thanks I'll look into it

[open sierra]

is it possible to code an object to go in a patrol way and if it sees a player, it runs towards it and when the player is off the object's tracking system, it goes back to normal patrol mode?

[wild dagger]

Im only using 2 cameras one for battle and onefor free roam

[open sierra]

if so, what function would I need to use?

[wintry quarry]

You can code literally anything you want. Nothing is impossible

[wild dagger]

luckily I fixed my issue by going so far back that it stopped and carefully adding what I wanted to add

[open sierra]

wow

[wintry quarry]

Many functions. You will need to write a whole state machine

[open sierra]

I see

thank you

[wraith mango]

so i have a type writer effect, and I want to be able to skip specific keywords that won't be typed letter by letter, but I don't know how to go about this

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

specifically because the sprite won't show up until it is done typing

[polar acorn]

You could try checking the character before printing it, and if it's <, keep looping over the string until you find a > or the end of the string, then add that to the display text for this iteration of the coroutine

Assuming it's just those rich text tags you want to be parsing like that

[wraith mango]

yea that probably will be my only use case, thanks i will try doing that

[limber narwhal]

hi, I was wondering what do I have to google to understand how to use these static animation images that came with a free game kit i downloaded

do i have to turn them into a sprite sheet?

[slender nymph]

this is a code channel. but if it did not come with animated prefabs or animation clips or anything like that then yes, you'll need to set up the animation(s) manually yourself

[limber narwhal]

ah okay, sorry. i wasn't sure if it was done through code (like looping thru the images) or not.. since the images are already there do i just skip to this part in the unity tutorial?

[short hazel]

That would be step 6, not 7. But I'd follow the entire thing if I were you, so you know what to do if one day you receive one sprite sheet and need to slice it yourself

[limber narwhal]

ah okay just making sure i'm on the right one. i'll follow the whole thing like you suggested for a better overall understanding 🙂

[vast vessel]

hey guys. any idea why the rotation is like this when opened/closed? its supposed to be 90 and 0
https://hastebin.skyra.pw/waretefusu.csharp

[swift crag]

If you want to change how the door is oriented with a rotation of zero, parent it to an empty object and rotate the parent to compensate.

[north kiln]

https://unity.huh.how/programming/quaternions/members

Also, you should be using local rotations, not global

[vast vessel]

so do i just replace every transform.rot with transform.localEulerAngles?

[swift crag]

what you're seeing in the inspector is the local rotation of the door

this may differ from the world rotation of the door if it's parented to something

but yes, if you use localEulerAngles, you'll (probably) see the same value in the inspector

you can still get different numbers out, since those Euler angles will be turned into a Quaternion, and then turned back into Euler angles to display in the inspector

[north kiln]

That would certainly be more correct (as opposed to incorrect lol), and may work fine if the door only rotates on that one axis. But it's generally best to track and apply your own euler angles if you can instead of reading from the transform.

[modern plank]

Hi ive got two cams one on a render texture and one showing the screen how canimakethe UI panel show only on the one in the render texture

[wraith mango]

i got it working, but do you know if this method could bring any problems or if there are more efficient ways of doing it

        for(int i = 0;  i < writer.Length; i++)
        {
            if(writer[i].ToString() == "<")
            {
                Debug.Log("Detected"); 
                for(int d = i; writer[d].ToString() != ">"; d++)
                {
                    caught_text += writer[d]; 
                    i = d + 2; 
                }
                tmpProText.text += caught_text += ">"; 
            }
            
            tmpProText.text += writer[i]; 
            yield return new WaitForSeconds(timeBtwChars);
        }```

[quasi rose]

stringbuilder if caught_text is getting +='d a lot.

but 99% time prob worth worrying more about like polys, texture, lighting, etc.

[wraith mango]

define a lot

caught text would only be +='d when it catches a sprite in the text

[short hazel]

Also prefer comparisons to character literals, instead of converting them to strings

if (writer[i].ToString() == "<") // meh
if (writer[i] == '<') // better - notice single quotes to make a character literal

[supple citrus]

Christ I'm so bad at references objects

[wraith mango]

i did not know that's how you do it, thank you

[supple citrus]

what do i put hereeee 😭

[rocky canyon]

id say stress test it, make ya some buttons that would trigger it how u would actually in the game. and spam it, try changing it, etc..

should let ya know if it'll be sufficient for ya

[wraith mango]

alr, also, just saying that is a pretty cool dialogue box lol

[rocky canyon]

thanks, after i got the text writer working it was easy enough to add a panel, and just pass the string to the writer

[wraith mango]

are you trying to reference a script or gameobject

or better question

is "Sun" an object or script

[supple citrus]

both which is stupid but I want to reference the object so I can get its position

[wraith mango]

well one i would make different names for the script and the object

[supple citrus]

Ye i had that until 2 seconds ago because i thought i finally figured it out :v

[rocky canyon]

u put the sun gameobject in there..

u can just call newPosition = Sun.transfrom.position;

not sure why ud want to grab the sun component each time ur trying to build that vector

[supple citrus]

thats this right

[rocky canyon]

yea, but ur referencing a class called Sun

so that object must have a Sun.cs component on it

[supple citrus]

it does

[rocky canyon]

otherwise id just use a gameobject reference..
public GameObject theSun;

yea, then u can just slot ur sun gameobject in there.. and in the script calling Sun.transform.position will get the transform of the gameobject.. that has the Sun

(the one u referenced in teh inspector)

[supple citrus]

But it comes up with type mismatch

[rocky canyon]

b/c u didnt add the transform

[muted wadi]

quick question, what would adding parentheses in a line like this do?
rb.AddForce(0, knockbackUp, (playerOpposite.y) * knockbackForward, ForceMode.Impulse);

[rocky canyon]

why would it be a type mismatch? what part of code says that

[rocky canyon]

order of operations..

[supple citrus]

When i try to drag the object into the reference part, the box says type mismatch

[rocky canyon]

parenthesis get calculed first..

then the math is finished

[muted wadi]

thank you

[rocky canyon]

a + b + c is not the same as (a + b) + c

[muted wadi]

needed to make sure

[rocky canyon]

is sun on the SAME gameobject..

[rocky canyon]

or a child of that gameobject?

[quasi rose]

that was smooth

[rocky canyon]

when (in rome) u have the tools at ur disposal..

not true

[polar acorn]

You are trying to get the Sun component from itself

[rocky canyon]

ohhh!

dont make the name the same as the class

😅

[polar acorn]

Oh, wait, that was quite a scroll down I didn't do

[rocky canyon]

change the name and u'll probably be fine

[muted wadi]

im struggling to figure out a calculation that can get the opposite direction of another object's y rotation. For example, im trying to make the enemy that gets hit by the player's sword attack be knocked backwards based on the player's y rotation, but for some reason it gets knocked back the same direction regardless of player rotation. Any ideas?

[rocky canyon]

if u have a rotation u can just add 180 degree's to it and that'll be the opposite rotation

[muted wadi]

oh thats a much better idea than what i had

[rocky canyon]

or if u have a direction u can just negate it -direction

and that'd be the opposite way

[muted wadi]

i tried that and it didn't work

[slender nymph]

why not just use the player's transform.forward and optionally project it on a plane represented by the ground's normal

[polar acorn]

Were you dealing with a rotation or a direction

[muted wadi]

playerOpposite.Normalize();```
this is what i tried just now but i realise it wouldn't work

[rocky canyon]

welp, the 180 degree turn is always a win

[muted wadi]

the enemy gets knocked back in a direction based on the player's rotation

[rocky canyon]

couldnt u just use the players facing direction?

and just multiply it by a force

[polar acorn]

That is getting half the players rotation in degrees. Makes sense that it wasn't giving you good results because that doesn't really make sense

[muted wadi]

yeah it made sense in my head

[muted wadi]

tried that too

[slender nymph]

show that attempt because using the player's forward is better than manually adding to its rotation and is already a direction

[rocky canyon]

yea im thinking both of those solutions would be adequate

probably just some misplaced mathmatics

[rocky canyon]

player.transform.forward * force

ur just using a y coord.. thats not really enough

[muted wadi]

oh wait im stupid

[rocky canyon]

if ur facing forward its technically a rotation of 0

0 * anything would make it a non-existent force

[muted wadi]

how come its not like -180 or something

when the player approaches the enemy

[north kiln]

Why are you using rotation now? https://unity.huh.how/quaternions/members

[muted wadi]

idk man im dumb

[rocky canyon]

lol, no worries, rotations and quaternions are always a bit of a challenge for beginners

[muted wadi]

let me try the forward thing

idk why i didn't do that from the start

[rocky canyon]

overthinking it sounds like

[muted wadi]

the usual suspect

[cobalt solstice]

Is there a way I can get a variable from one scene and use it in another one? If anyone can explain or link a good video to me?

[rich adder]

data persistance

the easiest to start with
https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/PlayerPrefs.html

[muted wadi]

so that worked well, i also found out i needed to move it on the x axis too because it would only do the knockback forwards and backwards otherwise

[cobalt solstice]

Ty 🙂

Just tryna get a timer to save the final time and display it on a credit screen 😅

[rich adder]

You can also use a singleton static instance but thats prob more to learn

[cobalt solstice]

Yeee I'm just tryna do a game for my A-level project, whilst this bit doesn't qualify as complex enough I'm trying to eventually save those times in reference to a login of sorts . So I'm just trying to work my way up 😂

[rich adder]

Saving to PlayerPrefs is baby steps to doing cloud/server saves

UnityCloudSave for example lets you save similiarly . All it is Key-Value save

[cobalt solstice]

When you say that do you mean its really simple?

[rich adder]

yes

[rocky canyon]

super simple

[cobalt solstice]

Damn, outputting the data as a graph? Would that be able to make it more complex

[rich adder]

not really

[rocky canyon]

that'd be scripting that calculates and draws after u retrieve the data

the playerprefs save and load would still be the exact same

[cobalt solstice]

I'm just tryna get some complexity in the project 😅

[rocky canyon]

well, why not have it track ur new time vs the last time u tried..

give a breakdown afterwards telling the player if they did better or worse

[cobalt solstice]

Ohhh that's what I meant by graphing

Like over time it saves their attempts and compares them

[rocky canyon]

that might be too complex for player prefs

ud probably want to serialize a list or something to track attempts.. and have it dynamic to be able to register a single attempt or as many as the player plays

[cobalt solstice]

Ahhh alr

[rocky canyon]

but then again idk.. playerprefs is supposed to be short and sweet.. saving strings, ints, simple stuff

[rich adder]

technically you can put any json data in PlayerPres, even list

but 1MB limit

[rocky canyon]

then whats the point of the playerprefs part?

[rich adder]

consistent location? 1 method to save to file

[rocky canyon]

i just rather use json at that point

ahh ok

[rich adder]

you can still use json into a string playerprefs is what I meant

[rocky canyon]

json wasnt that hard to set up imo..

and well worth it to have json vs playerprefs

[rich adder]

json is just a string formatting

[cobalt solstice]

I mean, idk how much it'll end up taking storage wise over time but in my write-up for the problem and solution this is a local save so it'd only be one computer

[rocky canyon]

idk what im trying to say

just serialization i guess?

[rich adder]

just saving to a file that is a json formatted text 🙂

[rocky canyon]

ahh ok. lol. i used "data.spawnsave"

having my own filename extension was pretty cool to me lol

[rich adder]

ah yeah Ik what you mean

when you saving anything that is serialization itself

[rocky canyon]

ya, basically i just wrote out structs for everything..

[rich adder]

so even doing JsonUtility and then saving that into PlayerPref.SetString is serializing
its just limited to string size in PlayerPrefs

[rocky canyon]

json'd those into a notepad file disguised as some cool proprietary save type

BUT, wasn't very secure

[rich adder]

keeps away commons 😄

at least

[timber tide]

switch (Order)
{
    case RotationOrder.XYZ:
        transform.rotation *= Quaternion.AngleAxis(LookRotation.x * Time.deltaTime, Vector3.right) *
                              Quaternion.AngleAxis(LookRotation.y * Time.deltaTime, Vector3.up) *
                              Quaternion.AngleAxis(LookRotation.z * Time.deltaTime, Vector3.forward);
        break;
    case RotationOrder.XZY:
        transform.rotation *= Quaternion.AngleAxis(LookRotation.x * Time.deltaTime, Vector3.right) *
                              Quaternion.AngleAxis(LookRotation.z * Time.deltaTime, Vector3.forward) *
                              Quaternion.AngleAxis(LookRotation.y * Time.deltaTime, Vector3.up);
    case RotationOrder.YXZ:
    case RotationOrder.YZX:
    case RotationOrder.ZXY:
    case RotationOrder.ZYX:
        break;
}```
So I'm just testing rotation orderings with AngleAxis and it seems like the ordering is showing zero impact to the rotations or am I missing out on something here

[rocky canyon]

and wasn't really moddable either.. as it was just settings and.. level number

i guess u could skip to the end like that.. but thats kinda lame

[timber tide]

What's the typical FPS rotational order?

[rocky canyon]

whats going on in this thing?

well, z rotation is really never used in FPS

[timber tide]

true

[rocky canyon]

unless u count those leaning mechanics

[rich adder]

maybe character does a fancy barrel roll xD

[timber tide]

quaternions have ordering which is why I'm doing this but I'm not seeing the differences on these specific cases

[rocky canyon]

umm.. i never done it like this so i cant say.. usually i rotate the player (capsule shape) on its Y axis.. and then the camera is parented beneath.. and it would rotate locally on its X axis..

[cobalt solstice]

Also another thing I was meant to ask of less importance, how do you make it so that the text on buttons is less blurry (idk if that's a me issue but it always seems to be more jagged in the game)

[rocky canyon]

ya, i get the multiplication part..

[rich adder]

what is the purpose for this script

[rocky canyon]

but its crazy to see in a switch like that.. idk man lol i just aint never seen it hehe

[timber tide]

to remove my shitty euler's gimbal locking

https://hatebin.com/lbigsnlgbz

test script

[rich adder]

ohh dang I wish I knew rotations that well enough

[timber tide]

at y 90 my camera was flicking around

with euler

I guess fps games don't let you do 90 anyway but still

[rich adder]

i normally also dont rotate camera for fps(only X), just the char's Y

[timber tide]

makes sense. Not exactly doing this for a fps but the targeting still applies similarly

need the x-tilting and stuff

[rocky canyon]

ahh, not sure, how does LookAt() do it?

[timber tide]

magic

[rich adder]

are you using TextMeshPro?

[cobalt solstice]

Ye at the moment

[timber tide]

public void LookAt(Transform target, Vector3 worldUp = Vector3.up); ```
Yeah, I'm not sure but since it's not specific to an axis I guess it'll use a combination of axis by refering the world up direction?

[rich adder]

idk this is #💻┃unity-talk question, maybe make sure Game View isn't zoomed in above 1X?

[cobalt solstice]

Yeee sorry mb 😅 Ty tho

[north kiln]

LookAt would just be transform.rotation = Quaternion.LookRotation(target.position - transform.position, worldUp);

or something similar

[amber spruce]

anyone know a good tutorial or smth on how to make a good floating enemy boss ai

[timber tide]

even though quaternion multiplication is not commutative, it seems like multiplying by each axis doesn't seem to have affect on the ordering. Atleast through the AngleAxis method here.

now watch me be wrong and it'll bite me in the butt later on

but then there's these operations which do have an impact on the ordering:

Quaternion rotatedDirection =  Quaternion.LookRotation(direction) * rotation;```

[north kiln]

Rotating by a orientation made with LookRotation is so bizarre lol

[north kiln]

I doubt your testing method is correct if you're seeing that

[rugged fern]

so when the guy slashes forwards with his sword in hand i want the shield box to cause it to not hit the capsule but when i cause it to play the animation it doesnt get effected is there a way i can fix that

[rich adder]

you need to code that "rebound" action in

depends how you're currently detecting collision from sword/hand

[teal viper]

Are you talking about animation, collisions or game logic?

[rugged fern]

technically animation and collision i want collision to be the reason it cant hit it

[teal viper]

That's gonna be difficult to implement.

[rich adder]

You need IK

[rugged fern]

but if i cant i just thought about it and i could just do a trigger that un plays the attack animation

nvm i think im just doing to much tbf

[teal viper]

A simpler way would be to make the sword collider ignore collisions with the character at certain point(when the character equips/uses a shield or on collision with the shield)

[timber tide]

My testing method is starting out with an identity quaternion and then rotating by each axis in an order for all combination of xyz. So far by just observing the rotation through update, it's been consistent to every combination I've given it.

[rugged fern]

i may try that thank you

[north kiln]

https://hatebin.com/wpbfhbbgtq

[timber tide]

ok, so if I were to pick a ordering and add angles one by one it seems to be consistent to all rotational orderings, but if I were to update two angles at once then there seems to be some ordering relevance.

[north kiln]

Not sure what you mean by one by one

[timber tide]

start at an identity and add angles to the x, then the y and let it rotate

it'll always end up in the same rotation no matter the ordering

[north kiln]

That's what my code is doing, no? And it's different depending on the order

[timber tide]

right, was this based on my code up there?

[north kiln]

Yes, but I removed the constant rotation stuff, which just confused matters

[timber tide]

Ok, I kind of see what's going on now. So I'd assume it's YX ordering for FPS shooters because the X direction continues to say in that local direction allowing you spin the character on the y freely.

rather the tilting on the x stays consistent throughout the y rotation

doesn't seem to have problems with x at angle values of 90 either which is what I was having with eulers

https://i.imgur.com/5M1DZcm.png
when you harness the power of quaternions

[north kiln]

I am fairly sure that your axes are reversed btw, and that when you say XYZ you're actually performing ZYX

The way I think about quaternion multiplication is A * B, A "rotates" B

where B is the original orientation and A is the rotation that's happening to it

[timber tide]

hmm, alright. I'll be looking into it more since I'm changing every single euler method I've made, haha

thanks

[timber tide]

right, it would be Y -> X here if I want to multiply by X then Y

such that we'd consider this as the XY rotation

transform.rotation *= Quaternion.AngleAxis(LookRotation.y * Time.deltaTime, Vector3.up) *
                      Quaternion.AngleAxis(LookRotation.x * Time.deltaTime, Vector3.right)```

[north kiln]

Yes, but this "rotating by a compound axis" is a really hard thing to comprehend and I'm not sure why you're doing it

[timber tide]

As opposed to using any other rotational method?

[north kiln]

transform.rotation *= <- confusing
transform.rotation = easy to understand

[timber tide]

oh, alright yeah

[muted wadi]

does anyone know why when using transform.LookAt on an empty with textmeshpro text, the text is backwards?

[north kiln]

because what on earth is C = C * A * B
It's like... B, rotated by A, rotated by C, which is also constantly moving? It's confusing AF

[timber tide]

I believe that's like that because I was animating it with degrees per second

otherwise I'd just set it I believe

[north kiln]

Because that's the way the text is oriented compared to the transform

[muted wadi]

is there a way to change that?

[north kiln]

No, don't use LookAt, use Quaternion.LookRotation with the opposite direction

[muted wadi]

ah thats smart

i didn't know there was a method like that

[bleak trout]

wsg yall 😁 im fresh new to unity (literally just finished downloading the editor)

i want to get into game dev stuff

im assuming i click game dev w/ unity right?

[timber tide]

The unity looking one, yeah. The other is c++ for unreal and other c++ game engines

[bleak trout]

do i need any of these optional things? (alrdy have unityhub

What's the most idiot-proof way to draw a circle (in a 2D scene) at a Transform position via code? I want to draw it at a specific frame in an Update() loop

[north kiln]

Personally, my debugging package https://github.com/vertxxyz/Vertx.Debugging (or anyone else's) is the easiest method

[livid tundra]

lol

[north kiln]

Otherwise you'll have to calculate a circle and use Debug.DrawLine

Which isn't hard if you know what you're doing, but it's not idiot-proof

Alternatively, you spawn an actual object in the scene, and take care to only do it in the editor

[livid tundra]

that's unexpected

[timber tide]

Handles has draw circle I think

[livid tundra]

looks like that just draws a line segment

[timber tide]

or maybe that's just wireframe

[livid tundra]

I already checked Handles before I asked here

it just has 3D objects

[north kiln]

well, they never specified otherwise

[livid tundra]

I'm just debugging

[north kiln]

It's a "3d object" in the same sense that so is anything in Unity if you rotate it

I always forget whether you can use Handles anywhere reasonable

[livid tundra]

it's not circular in the plane if it gets rotated wrong

...which it won't be, but I just figured Unity would have a circle somewhere and I was annoyed how long it was taking me to figure that out with Google

Took a few wrong turns

[bleak trout]

guys should i start a coding club at my hs? like a game dev club or smth

[frosty hound]

Go ahead?

[timber tide]

sure why not

[livid tundra]

NO!

(I mean, "yes" 🙂 )

[muted wadi]

is it possible to use the fill method for a circular healthbar like this?

the sprite itself is square so it wouldn't work if i tried to fill it from left to right

but is there a way to actually do this using a sprite that is a circle?

[timber tide]

need to use masks probably

[muted wadi]

what does that involve

[timber tide]

a sprite mask

;)

[muted wadi]

how didn't i think of that

is that the best way?

[timber tide]

uh, otherwise animate UVs of a quad? idk

[muted wadi]

because im on the documentation and was wondering if it would be possible to configure each slice of the drawing manually

[livid tundra]

I opted for Handles fyi

just since it's a quick-and-dirty use case

[muted wadi]

what are handles

[livid tundra]

Handles.DrawWireArc(transform.position, new Vector3(0,0,1), Vector3.up, 360, 10);

[slender nymph]

you can do a radial fill
https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.ugui@1.0/api/UnityEngine.UI.Image.FillMethod.html

[muted wadi]

ah those

[muted wadi]

im listening

[livid tundra]

"Custom 3D GUI controls and drawing in the Scene view"

[slender nymph]

there's nothing else to it. just select the radial360 option instead of horizontal

[muted wadi]

yeah once i saw the drawwirearc i remembered them, used them for enemy field of view

[livid tundra]

neat

[livid tundra]

Can anyone help me understand how isBouncing is reading as true even though I only set it once and I set it to false?

Also, where do you set it to false? It doesn't look like you change it outside of the initializer, which is only the default, before being overridden by the value serialized in the inspector

[livid tundra]

https://gdl.space/roxokadiwu.cs

It's initialized to false

it's not serialized to true

it's not serialized (not literally, anyway. I verified that the prefab's value for this is false in the inspector)

[north kiln]

Then how are you testing that it's true?

Is it that Debug.Log("Bouncing"); line?

[livid tundra]

yes

[north kiln]

Then search the scene t:Sword_Skill_Controller and find the instance that's true

[livid tundra]

I even fed it the boolean

it says true right now

I'm looking at my Console

[livid tundra]

do I type that in the console while the game is running?

[north kiln]

No, you search the scene in the hierarchy window

[livid tundra]

ok let me check

yeah, it instantiates a sword with the value being "true"!

why tho

that is so unexpected

what's the point of initial values then

I guess I'll try setting it to false in Awake()

[north kiln]

Presumably it's being set or animated, or you're doing something else I can't tell

[livid tundra]

I swear I only made this here

[frosty hound]

The point of initial values is to give it an initial value. It of course isn't just flipping it without some code telling it to, somewhere.

[livid tundra]

that variable doesn't exist on another object and it isn't used in other scripts

[frosty hound]

Do a reference search in code

[livid tundra]

I checked to make sure

[livid tundra]

I did

however

[charred spoke]

Someone has to be setting it to true

[livid tundra]

setting it in Awake() fixes the problem

...meaning it's not being forced true after I set it in Awake

something is happening when it is instantiated

the gameObject it makes

this controller thing

[livid tundra]

must be

or rather

if it was, it would have been true after setting it false in Awake(), right?

setting it false in Awake() "solved" the problem

[north kiln]

Can you select the prefab from the reference that's spawning it without opening it?

[livid tundra]

but it isn't clear whey there was ever a problem

[charred spoke]

Depends on who sets it when

[livid tundra]

let me see

oh...that's weird

so...I have a "Skill Manager" for these swords

and the value is true

but the sword prefab's value is (correctly) false

so it was all about serialization after all

it was exposed in two places and I didn't realize

thank you @north kiln

and @charred spoke

@frosty hound

[north kiln]

Do you have two prefabs, or are referencing an instance somewhere else or something? I don't really understand why there would be multiple

[charred spoke]

His prefab is under another prefab and thus isBouncing being true counts as an override

[charred spoke]

And now you have learned an important lesson. Since the sword skill class is responsible for keeping track of and reacting to bounces that variable should be private to that class.

[livid tundra]

So this variable belongs to a script called "Sword_Skill_Controller" and there is an empty in the scene that has it. The controller's job is ultimately to decide what skills the Sword object has and to handle their logic.

When the game runs, it give the sword prefab a skill. The value of isBouncing for the prefab in the Project view is different from the value when I open it up and look at it.

[livid tundra]

yeah. Maybe it's a bug that the tutorial guy catches later

Or I copied it wrong 👀

[livid tundra]

actually, turning it off in the script was the overide on the sword...but not the manager for some reason

I take it back, I still don't see the "override" button on the sword object so that object is correctly updating with my intentions

[livid tundra]

This is an essential insight, thank you

[charred spoke]

Look into getter and setters for properties

[abstract finch]

Why cant I modify structs in a foreach loop?

[teal viper]

Because structs are value types

[slender nymph]

because the local variable created as part of the foreach loop is a copy of the object stored in the array

[abstract finch]

ahh ok

that makes sense

[deft siren]

how can i make it so everytime i press a button the activation state changes?

i want so everytime i press E it disables/enables an audiosource

[tacit estuary]

like a toggle?

[deft siren]

ye

[tacit estuary]

public bool toggle;

void Update()
{
    if(Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.E))
    {
        toggle = !toggle;
        
        audio.enabled = toggle;
    }
    
}```

[deft siren]

really tought there would be a function for it :/

but thanks a lot!!!

[night mural]

how about

audio.enabled = !audio.enabled

[tacit estuary]

Oh this would be way more concise 💯

[deft siren]

if it doesnt bother u guys, mind explaining what the ! does

(im REALLY new on code)

[slender nymph]

you should really start by learning the basics before trying to make games. there are beginner C# courses pinned in this channel

[deft siren]

(besides obvious resons) why u say that

[night mural]

! flips the boolean to its opposite value, so if it's true it becomes false or if it's false it becomes true

[deft siren]

makes sense, thanks again!!

[tacit estuary]

! means not. So if a bool is true, then !bool is false. The main idea is that you would use it to flip the true/false value of the component.

[slender nymph]

for literally the obvious reasons. would you rather blunder along blindly and be much much more likely to fail? or would you rather have at least some inkling of what you are doing

[deft siren]

yeah that is the most logical course

but for this game im really going for the "do i want to expert on this?" so kind of not so worried about failing

its kind of a 'test'

[night mural]

are we passing your test? 😄

[deft siren]

the community is being the best part so far <333

everyone is so polite to each other

(and REALLY patient)

[deft siren]

also just to make sure i got it right, object.IsActive = !object.IsActive

mb

that'd work right?

[slender nymph]

no

[deft siren]

ah

is it only for bools

[slender nymph]

well yes. but also IsActive isn't a thing

[deft siren]

*SetActive ma fault

thanks again all of u!!

best of luck

[slender nymph]

SetActive is a method so you cannot assign to it. you can pass it a bool though and you can use the ! operator said the bool if you want to use the opposite of its value

[deft siren]

damm, smart

[slender nymph]

literally just basic concepts

[deft siren]

okey :D

ok so, this is supossed to tp the monster randomly when he gets in the triger, not working for some reason

[slender nymph]

start by making sure that OnTriggerEnter is actually being called
https://unity.huh.how/physics-messages

[livid tundra]

This function is supposed to contain logic for a sword stuck in something, whether that be an enemy or anything else. The "if()" statement in the middle prevents the sword from staying stuck in an enemy when there are more enemies left to hit.

private void StuckInto(Collider2D collision)
    {
        canRotate = false;
        cCollider.enabled = false;
        
        rb.isKinematic = true;
        rb.constraints = RigidbodyConstraints2D.FreezeAll;

        if (isBouncing && enemyTargets.Count > 0) // allows sword to stop spinning and stick in ground if close to a target during bounce skill
            return;

        //"If not isBouncing or we have no more enemies to bounce to"
        anim.SetBool("SwordSpin", false);
        transform.parent = collision.transform;
    }

I would rather not interrupt the logic this way. Instead, I would rather remove this if() statement and put the last two lines in the inverse "if()" statement. I figured that DeMoran's Law would help me construct this, but I am having difficulty interpreting it.

(A ∩ B)' = A' ∪ B'

the inverse of ("isBouncing" and "more than 0 targets") is "not isBouncing" or "0 or fewer targets"

🤔

actually, maybe I do get it. Let me try again

that worked 🙂

I don't know why that didn't make sense to me a minute ago. It sounds perfectly logical now.

...and the code is more focused 😉

I am a LOGICAL MELON FARMER!

[deft siren]

ok, u can call me stupid (again) but the reason it wasnt working was cus the monster didnt have a colisor

i made a long time ago ok, didnt remember i hadnt put a colidor in it

[sleek halo]

I didn't even touch anything and somehow gave myself more errors. There's more in the yellow box regions. Can someone please help me?

Also

None of my things are showing up in inspector

I just......how?

[charred spoke]

You have two files named ClickerScript in the project

The error is pretty self explanatory

[sleek halo]

Is there an easy way to figure out where the second one is? Cause I've only made one script for this whole thing

[charred spoke]

Just search for the name in the project tab

You have either duplicated it or made a new script with that name

[sleek halo]

It duplicated

Found it

Thank you!

Still have errors, but a whole lot less lol

Any chance you could help me with this too please?

I, unfortunately, copied this from a youtube video and the "this" wasn't touched on and now I'm just lost

Also, I'm still not getting any of the things in inspector....

[rich adder]

== is for equality check = is for assigment

[sleek halo]

Thank you!!!

Lmao this is the same kind of stuff that always screws me up with papyrus too 😂

[charred spoke]

I suggest you do a beginner c# course before continuing otherwise you are not going to have a fun time making a game

[sleek halo]

Funny enough, I'm actually having a ton of fun doing this. I learn better by screwing up and talking to people than I do with courses/videos 😅

[charred spoke]

Confusing = and == isnt exactly screwing up. Its lack of basic knowledge that simple hinders progress

[teal viper]

It's like the boy who cried wolf. If you keep on pestering people with these basic questions that are easily solvable if you put a little bit of effort, you'll stop getting responses eventually. It's not the first time something like this happened on this server.😅

[open sierra]

I'm about to learn coding using the unity official tutorial on the website, any parts I need to really pay attention to? And should I memorise the code lines or what each word means?

[rich adder]

its not about memorization but how to problem solve

[timber tide]

what is a scene
what is a gameobject
what is a monobehavior
what is a component
what is the difference between a plain c# script and a script inheriting from monobehavior

[eternal needle]

you also do need to know basics of c#, which is its own thing external to unity. you dont need to exactly sit there trying to memorize syntax or the name of methods. With practice, you'll remember it anyways but you'll always have google and should be looking things up when you cant remember.

[timber tide]

additionally,
what is a constructor -> why can't you use a constructor when inheriting monobehavior
what is the alternative to using a constructor if we cannot use it
what is serialization
why do we set values from the editor to our object scripts (components) and what are the benefits

[proud robin]

Hi
how can i normalize speed of charactercontroller when going up and down ramps
they seem faster than walking on flat surfaces
my movement is controlled by root motion

[supple needle]

I have a question
So when i change a feature in visual studio and come back to the scene, there is a load time where it checks the backend, then i need to press the play button to look at another load time until i can test the feature to see its not working.

Im just curious, is there an easier way to do the process above? Like some debug mode or something

[north kiln]

You can save time if you enable fast enter playmode, but you need to ensure you reset your static variables manually https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/ConfigurableEnterPlayMode.html

Read all the documentation (especially the subpages) if you plan on using it

[supple needle]

Will do. thanks!

Wait one more question

Do most devs use this feature? Is this a conventional way of doing this?

[north kiln]

I cannot speak to most devs. I use it on every project, and advocate for its usage. But if you're using assets or have written code that hasn't catered for it you can experience bugs that will be confusing based on the incorrect state of static variables

it is significantly faster (almost instantaneous on small projects) to enter playmode, which is a massive productivity boost

[supple needle]

Yes i definitely need that right now

[north kiln]

Also, just general advice for debugging: use the debugger to do debugging. By adding breakpoints and tracepoints instead of logs you can avoid recompiling just to check logic or state

[supple needle]

Oh jeez, i need to read up on all this, thanks anyway!

[north kiln]

There's resources related to the debugger pinned to this channel 👍

[queen adder]

Is this code begginers or C# beginners?

[livid tundra]

my guess is you are taking horizontal and vertical input in at the same time and they are adding together. Can you post the code you have for getting directional input?

[proud robin]

movement = new Vector2(Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal"), Input.GetAxisRaw("Vertical"));
Vector3 direction = new Vector3(movement.x, 0, movement.y).normalized;
if (direction.magnitude >= 0.06f) {
  float targetangle = Mathf.Atan2(direction.x, direction.z) * Mathf.Rad2Deg + cameraTransform.eulerAngles.y;
  other stuff here
}

and then i just lerp the player angle to target angle
and play animation
the rest collision n stuff are handled by charactercontroller

[livid tundra]

ok so here is the neat thing happening (I think)

Because you normalize the direction vector, the character travels at the same speed (prior to applying speed, I mean) regardless of whether they are on flat ground or a steep incline.

...and that probably looks weirdly fast to you

in fact, I just wrote some code to make my character climb steep slopes when they couldn't before

they are moving at the same speed up the slope as on flat ground

it looks a little fast, but it keeps the action moving and I don't mind it

Is the speed "increase" more serious than just this? Maybe something else is going on

[proud robin]

my character doesnt jump

[livid tundra]

I mispoke

[proud robin]

i checked velocity
flat = 5~6m/s
incline = 6~7m/s (depending on angle)
so yea it is faster

[eternal needle]

show more of the code, like where you do the actual movement

[proud robin]

void Update() {
        movement = new Vector2(Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal"), Input.GetAxisRaw("Vertical"));
        Vector3 direction = new Vector3(movement.x, 0, movement.y).normalized;

        if (direction.magnitude >= 0.06f) {
            AnimatorStateInfo currentState = animator.GetCurrentAnimatorStateInfo(0);
            float targetangle = Mathf.Atan2(direction.x, direction.z) * Mathf.Rad2Deg + cameraTransform.eulerAngles.y;
            if ((animator.IsInTransition(0) && animator.GetNextAnimatorStateInfo(0).IsName("run anim name")) || (!animator.IsInTransition(0) && currentState.IsName("run anim name"))) {
                float angle = Mathf.SmoothDampAngle(transform.eulerAngles.y, targetangle, ref turnSmoothVelocity, turnSmoothTime);
                transform.rotation = Quaternion.Euler(0f, angle, 0f);
            }
            mAnimator.SetBool("isRunning", true);
        } else {
            mAnimator.SetBool("isRunning", false);
        }
    }```

and the running bool just makes the animations play by the animator controller
and then anims' root motion moves the character

[eternal needle]

hm what components are on your player? I think you have no control over it then because you are using animation movement

i assume you have a rigidbody which is keeping your player from going into walls and such

[proud robin]

just charactercontroller component

that should handle collisions?

[eternal needle]

yea the CC will handle depenetrations, but still i dont think you have any control over the speed here because its animation movement. The animation is trying to move just along a flat surface i assume, but the CC is also depenetrating and moving it up the slope at the same time

[queen adder]

Is this code begginers or C# beginners?

[ivory bobcat]

Unity beginner coding

[queen adder]

But unity works with more than just C#

Right?

[ivory bobcat]

What's the actual concern?

[queen adder]

Answer pls

[ivory bobcat]

If it's c# with Unity and relative to beginner concepts, this channel is fine.

If it's unrelated to Unity, it's not meant for this server.

[queen adder]

Exactly

[verbal dome]

There's also a !csharp server

[eternal falcon]

Join the C# Discord server, a programming server aimed at coders discussing everything related to C# (CSharp) and .NET. https://discord.com/invite/csharp

[queen adder]

That's not what I asked

[verbal dome]

If this is your question, then no, other scripting languages are not really supported anymore

[queen adder]

What's supported other than C#

[ivory bobcat]

Relative to Unity, code would be referring to C# unless you're writing shaders ( #archived-shaders )

[slender nymph]

nothing other than c++ but that is only for native plugins not regular gameplay scripting

[ivory bobcat]

Nothing

[queen adder]

So we can assume C# code beginners chat

[ivory bobcat]

Code refers to c#. Understand what you're asking please.

[ivory bobcat]

Unity coding beginner

[slender nymph]

why are you so hung up on this mate. this is the beginner code channel. it is for beginner coding concepts in unity. that means c# related questions that are relevant to unity.

[queen adder]

I asked about unity programming choices

I got answer C# server

[ivory bobcat]

c#

[queen adder]

Yes please understand what u are answering

That's all I needed, bye

Thx for the answer

[ivory bobcat]

We're assuming you're attempting to ask unrelated questions to Unity by blurring the border between c# and coding - happens every once in a while where someone attempts to reason why asking non unity related questions should be allowed.

[livid tundra]

How can I set default parameter values for inherited parameters? 🤔

[verbal dome]

Show an example of what you mean

[livid tundra]

I'm putting default values in all my scripts because I don't trust [SerializeField] anymore

[livid tundra]

ok, one sec

[verbal dome]

Ah with inherited parameters you mean inherited variables/members

[livid tundra]

yeah

[verbal dome]

I think you can only do that with a property, not with a field

[queen adder]

I never asked about other programming language that is not related to unity did I?

[livid tundra]

in my Entity class, I have

[Header("Knockback Info")]
[SerializeField] protected Vector2 knockbackDirection;
[SerializeField] protected float knockbackDuration;

and in my Player class (which inherits from Entity I...don't. I don't have these parameters. They are serialized, but I want...oh wait

[ivory bobcat]

You asked if it's a c# or coding channel. The latter being an umbrella for the first.

[livid tundra]

yeah I can do this in Awake()

nvrmnd

[ivory bobcat]

Where Unity uses the first.

[queen adder]

Exactly

So bye

[weary finch]

bye

[verbal dome]

You can also do this if you use properties cs public class Parent { public virtual float MyFloat { get; set; } = 123; } public class Child : Parent { public override float MyFloat { get; set; } = 0; }
But not sure if that's what you want

Yeah Awake works too

[livid tundra]

will these values be exposed in the Inspector?

[verbal dome]

[field: SerializeField] should work

It serializes the 'backing field' of the property

Which is what holds the actual data

Sup, i have a question, i need to make RaycastHit2D ignore 2 layers, but idk how, i'm currently using this, is there any way to do that?

        int layerToIgnore = LayerMask.NameToLayer("NotGround");
        int layerToIgnore2 = LayerMask.NameToLayer("Player");
        int layerMask = ~(1 << layerToIgnore);
        RaycastHit2D hit = Physics2D.Raycast(transform.position, Vector2.down, checkDistance, layerMask);
        if (hit.collider != null) grounded = true;
        else grounded = false;
        // Debug.DrawRay(transform.position, Vector2.down * checkDistance, grounded ? Color.green : Color.red);
        // Debug.Log(Physics2D.Raycast(transform.position, Vector2.down, checkDistance, layerMask).collider.gameObject.name);

[timber tide]

layerToIgnore |= LayerMask.GetMask("Player");

I think that may work

oh wait what's nameToLayer again

[fringe plover]

Gets layermask with this name

[slender nymph]

NameToLayer returns the layer index, not a mask

[fringe plover]

ah yes

im not good at this..

[slender nymph]

you can just use LayerMask.GetMask, pass in the two layers you want to ignore then invert that. or create a LayerMask variable, serialize it, and assign it in the inspector instead of all this

[fringe plover]

okay...

thank you so much

[shrewd swift]

Im having an issue when reloading a scene (so I can start a new game)

from the console, it looks like I am calling a method inside myClass (inside another gameobject than my player), but since it destroyed (because I reloaded the scene) there is an error

can this be the issue ?

// inside PlayerController class
public static event Action PlayerStartPlaying;

//somewhere inside
PlayerStartPlaying();

// inside myClass
private void Awake()
    {
        PlayerController.PlayerStartPlaying += StartGeneration;
    }```

is there a way to "clear" the PlayerStartPlaying callback (is this the good word for this?)

[slender nymph]

you can assign null to it (from within the class that owns it)

[shrewd swift]

okay

[shrewd swift]

how do I assign null ?
it tells me that I can only do -= or +=

maybe I can just do

//On Disable
PlayerController.PlayerStartPlaying -= StartGeneration;

idk if this is the correct use

[slender nymph]

you can only assign null to it within the type that owns it. the whole point of decorating it with the event modifier is so that other objects cannot invoke it or modify it except for subscribing and unsubscribing

but if your intention is to just unsubscribe the one method from it, then yes -= is how you do it

[shrewd swift]

ah okay ty

well that wasnt the fix

Hi, i have a weird problem with my rotation. My Code is very simple, i want a gameobject to look away from another gameobject

Vector3 direction = new Vector3(unit.transform.position.x, 0, unit.transform.position.z) - new Vector3(MainPoint.transform.position.x, 0, MainPoint.transform.position.z);
Quaternion rotation = Quaternion.LookRotation(direction, Vector3.up);
unit.transform.rotation = rotation;

As you can see in the picture, the rotation is nearly right, but not exactly. What do i miss here? Thanks for any help

Oh the red line is a debug ray, which shows the correct vector3

does some1 know how u play a partical after a given amount of time

[fringe plover]

trough script i guess lol

set delay

[eternal needle]

for the debug ray, what values are you using to draw that? Also what object is the unit, what is the MainPoint? the code looks fine to me

[maiden turret]

the same which are used for the direction vector. I tried my code in a clean project on 2 cubes and it works fine, so i guess the code is correct. Now i have to find out what could change the rotation slightly. Maybe the Pathfinding somehow... but thanks for reply have to debug now 🫠

I have a question.
Is there a best way to access object's script, or GetComponent<>() is best i get?

[eternal needle]

Could try disabling scripts until it stops rotating. I think the only built in causes for rotation could be rigidbody, navmesh agents, or a parent transform rotating.

[eternal needle]

That and TryGetComponent. You dont really have any alternatives if the only thing you have access to initially is the gameObject

[vernal bone]

Well, as i thought. Thank you for the answer.

Could do with a little help debuggin please. in my current scene the main scene i have the player prefab in the scene all my animations work fine. but as soon as i delete him and load him with my Instantiate script one of my animation.. well my only Any state animation wont play and the player freezes. This only happens if i Instantiate him. I have 3 scripts attached. my state script. my player controller script and my DDOL script. https://gdl.space/cetupiziwu.cs

line 126 debug does get called if (Input.GetMouseButtonDown(1))
{
Debug.Log("Attcking");
playerState.ChangeState(PlayerState.State.Attacking);
}

but then freezes. in the animator the all the animations stop

again this only stops working when the attack is trying to play when my player objected is being Instantiated

im almost at the verge of braindead, i need to draft something out lol

if(A && B && C){
   bool = true;
}else{
   bool = false;
}

if(B && C){
   bool = true;
}else{
   bool = false;
}```

so A is unnecessary?

[languid spire]

correct

thx

guys what is going on here. I have variable moveSpeed with which i want to adjust speed of capsule that i want to move around. But regardless of its value even if i lower it by 1000, capsule moves the same speed and very fast for my liking. how should i fix this

[honest haven]

is the var public and is it different on the game object. might be trying to over ride it in the script but game object is changing it

[gilded sinew]

yikes let me see

FML

ty bro

[honest haven]

no wories been there done that lol

[gilded sinew]

completely forgot that i set it in game object

i was pissed at chat gpt i tell it to fix code something is not working, i tried 5 different versions and all the same. now for obvious reason

[weary finch]

is there an optimization or profiler channel?

[honest haven]

any ideas i could try?

[languid spire]

return;
after Destroy(gameObject);
in PlayerController
would be a good place to start

[honest haven]

thanks

[languid spire]

also your singleton pattern should be in Awake not Start

[honest haven]

thanks ill change that. was thinking about ditching the singleton any

has anyone tried his state machine https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RQd44qSaqww&t=14s
