what should i set Times Clicked to if i cant set it as 0 if its not an Int

#

Hello

acoustic violet
#

well i tried to set it to 0, but because its Text im unable, so what should i set it to

rich adder
#

TimesClicked is clearly an object (assuming a Text object)
but its not assigned, therefore Null at runtime when you try to use something from it .text

#

private Vector3 offset = new Vector3(16, 3, -9); how can i put dots there Vector3(16, 3, -9) without error (exmpl 16.5, 3.23, 9,30 this is error)

how should i set TimesClicked to a reference of a Text Object

rich adder
#

dont copy the code, just look at the example

This is what its been set as

search hirerchy for t:MouseInputProvider

acoustic violet
#

okay i think i found the issue now

#

thanks for the help

edgy fox
#

what causes this?

#

I just get it occasinoally

rich adder
#

if not that, one of your assets/prefab would be missing a script / broken meta

edgy fox

#

maybe you just noticed?
its a warning btw not an error

faint osprey
#

how do i start a timeline through script

rich adder
#

imagine this thing called google..

you asked a better google question on this discord and not the search itself ,wild 😆

#

acivate timeline through bool is very strange

#

the two aren't much related

#

just saying keywords matter, if you search what you wrote on DC

damn

#

thats crazy

supple citrus
#

So when you declare a rect, it uses the 4 parameters as described in the upper image

#

But how do i declare one using xmin etc?

#

Theres an easier way then doing
Rect test
test.xMin = ...
test.yMin = ...
...
right?

tender wren
#

I think its more like
test.min = Vector2 (xmin,ymin);
test.max = Vector2 (xmax,ymax);

supple citrus
#

But is there a way to just do it in one line like there is with the upper image

#

Rect test = new Rect(xmin, xmax, ymin, ymax)

#

because the website is stating it as if there is

tender wren
#

public Rect(float x, float y, float width, float height);
public Rect(Vector2 position, Vector2 size);

#

the mins are the start

#

the size is the ends

#

min and max

supple citrus
#

the size is the distance from x to the end point

acoustic violet
#

Why cant i refrence the code in SBulbUp if its a public class?

WhyCantI.png
supple citrus
#

i just want to define the x and y point themselves

tender wren
#

I think I may be confused, how does:

public Rect(float x, float y, float width, float height);

not work for that?

supple citrus
#

because if x = 1 and width = 2
the rect x coords would be 1 and 1+2

#

but i want to declare it using x=1 and x=3

#

where i input 1 and 3

tender wren
#

public static Rect MinMaxRect(float xmin, float ymin, float xmax, float ymax);

supple citrus
#

oh yeah thats exactly what i was looking for

#

ty

#

Also, what does the error say?

acoustic violet
#

Thats the SBulbUp code

gaunt ice
#

but this is not SBulbUp class

acoustic violet
#

oh my god

#

i found the issue

#

dammit

ivory bobcat
#

So the class type isn't sbulbup

acoustic violet
#

yep

#

im sorry

#

thanks for helping me realize

supple citrus
#

ah

#

Ive got coordinates of an object that I want to be a vertex for my Rect

#

But the transform.position of my object uses a dif coordinate system to Rect

#

As in, the the width of my rect is 12.5

#

but ingame thats really small

#

because im guessing declaring a rect uses pixels instead of whatever coordinate system the objects use?

#

How do i convert them

#

ohh is that was ScreenToWorldPoint does

#

gee wiz

Hello, is anyone familiar with Pool It? Do I manually have to add it to the pool manager for each prefab, or is there a quick way I'm missing?

#

Just trying to speed up my building system, my building system uses instantiation and causes big lag spikes. Maybe I am missing something.

#

It seems based on the profiler, it is causing a lot of lag

#

Wow, I figured it out. I always do when I ask for help. Its my UpdateBag function.

# 
public void UpdateBag()
    {
        ...
        // Repopulate slots based on the bag items
        foreach (Item item in items)
        {
            GameObject gameObject = Instantiate(inventorySlot, Vector3.zero, Quaternion.identity, contentObject.transform);
            gameObject.GetComponent<Slot>().SetItemSlot(item);
            gameObject.GetComponent<Slot>().SetID((int)count);
            gameObject.name = item.name + " " + count;
            slots.Add(gameObject);

            count += 1f;
        }
        ...
    }
#

instantiating 152 objects is causing the lag 🤦

rlly new to cs, why doesnt this work? i just want it to rotate whenever the mouse is clicked

supple citrus

Just checking

Incase you're left clicking expecting something to happen

0 is left click

oh

I have a really long function that I want to reuse, which looks like this

    private void HandleFaceType(int corner1, int corner2, int corner3)
    {
        int count = 0;
        if (vertexData[corner1].isPath) count++;
        if (vertexData[corner2].isPath) count++;
        if (vertexData[corner3].isPath) count++;

//more logic

but the problem is, I want to somehow swap out the condition in the if statements. For example, I'd like to check vertextData[corner].isWater for example

tender wren
#

Change the bool to a function that checks a string?

#

and pass in a string

potent nymph
#

how would that work?

gaunt ice
#

then you need reflection

supple citrus
#

How comes the program doesnt think my mouse pos is inside the rect?

#

The mousepos vector is clearly within range of the TL and BR vertex

tender wren
potent nymph
#

that just returns a boolean

gaunt ice
#

i would do that

[System.Flags]
public enum Terrain{....}
//in your struct or class
public Terrain terrain;//set the flag
//the method
public void Function(...... ,Terrain terrainYouWantToCheck){}

            transform.rotation.Set(0, 0, OriginalRotation.z + (1/i), 0);
            new WaitForSeconds(0.1f);

        }
        transform.rotation.Set(0, 0, OriginalRotation.z, 0);

    }

why does this not rotate the object

polar acorn
clever edge
#

how so? its not giving any errors

tender wren
#

I am not familiar with rotating objects, but can you not just modify the transform.rotation itself?

polar acorn
#

Do you know what a quaternion is

potent nymph
clever edge
#

the data that rotation uses

gaunt ice
#

no

polar acorn
clever edge
#

i assumed it's like the rotation you can directly change in unity

polar acorn
#

You really really should not be modifying a Quaternion's individual values unless you have incredibly strong math skills

clever edge
#

is that wrong

polar acorn
#

but it's a quaternion

#

a four dimensional normalized complex number

clever edge
#

how can i not use a quaternion

polar acorn
#

but do you actually have any idea what you're doing

clever edge
#

i am rotating the object along the z axis

polar acorn
#

That's not what that does

#

The X, Y, and Z values of a quaternion have nothing to do with the X, Y, and Z axes of normal euclidian space

#

They're just the first three values of the 4D number that expresses an orientation

clever edge
#

so how do i not use quaternion

unique hull
polar acorn
polar acorn
unique hull
#

Euler angles is also a good choice yeah ^

clever edge
#

lemme see if that works

# 
    private void rotate()
    {
        OriginalRotation = transform.rotation;

        for(int i = 1; i < 10; i++)
        {
            transform.rotation.eulerAngles.Set(0, 0, OriginalRotation.z + (1/i));
            Debug.Log(transform.rotation.eulerAngles);
            new WaitForSeconds(0.1f);

        }
        transform.rotation.eulerAngles.Set(0, 0, OriginalRotation.z);

    }

k so for some reason it's not waiting

#

and it's also not changing the rotation

polar acorn
#

You're still trying to read the Z value of a Quaternion

#

transform.rotation is wizard math do not use any components of it

#

Also your entire loop is pointless because you just instantly overwrite it

clever edge
#

it's an animation

polar acorn
#

no it isn't

#

This entire function runs at once

clever edge
#

what about the for loop?

polar acorn
#

Your new WaitForSeconds does nothing, this isn't a coroutine

#

the loop happens instantly and then is overwritten before the function even ends

clever edge
#

what'll make it wait?

polar acorn
unique hull
#

Googling "Unity documentation - Waitforseconds" gives a great example

is there a way I could use the new input system to avoid a fixedupdate. (its not a big deal but helps keep things organized.

true pasture
#

you mean a class variable?

summer stump
#

Yes

true pasture
#

what does that have to do with my question? (ill do it)

frosty hound
#

It's the reason why you're getting the error

true pasture
#

no i know that code is wrong

#

im asking how to avoid having a fixedupdate statement

frosty hound
#

But no, to answer your question, there isn't. The new input system stlil requires you to cache the input and use it in update.

true pasture
#

so theres no way is what youre saying

#

oh

frosty hound
#

Hence the "there isn't"

true pasture
#

my adhd brain skimmed rigyht over that srry

#

but okay thanks

unique hull
#

There isnt sadly , thats why i dont use it tbh

true pasture
#

yeah i mean i can use both systems so ill just use the default system for this

unique hull
#

And i read a few things when i skimmed the web just now , and most of those fixes involves more places, so wouldnt really help your problem 😛

# clever edge ```cs private void rotate() { OriginalRotation = transform.rotat... 
private void Rotate()

  StartCoroutine(ChangeRotation());

IEnumerator ChangeRotation()

        }
        transform.rotation.eulerAngles.Set(0, 0, OriginalRotation.z);
}

This would wait, however I do not know if the code functions

#

2D world-space FTW

#

Why not just make an animation that loops, do you need to set the rotation programmatically?

clever edge
normal fossil
#

Ah I see, was just wondering

#

But thats how you would use a Coroutine to actually wait. You cant call new WaitForSeconds outside of an IEnumerator

unique hull
#

Just keep in mind that multiple coroutines can overlap , so it might not rotate that much beyond the first 1 second

#

I have a coroutine for reloading for example , but i fix that by having a "Isreloading" bool that just flips on/off for the coroutine

clever edge
normal fossil
#

As I said, I dont know if your code actually worked. I myself am unfamiliar with setting rotations progammatically.

clever edge
unique hull
#

Quaternions are a bit tricky to use , i could send a snipet of a rotation that works if it would help you?

normal fossil
#

Maybe something like this:

Vector3 originalRotation = this.transform.eulerAngles;
float waitTime = 1f;
for(int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
{
  Vector3 rotationIncrement = new Vector3(0,i,0); //Rotate on the Y axis by one
  transform.eulerAngles = rotationIncrement;
  yield return new WaitForSeconds(waitTime);
}
transform.eulerAngles = originalRotation;```
#

@clever edge

#

should rotate every second then reset.

#

Ill throw it into a new project and test it for ya

vale karma
#

im trying to access a variable from another script. I thought it was NameOfScript.nameOfVariable am I missing something?

clever edge
#

yeah okay i think im just gonna use an animation

#

it would work but im also rotating around the cursor

unique hull
clever edge
#

(2d project)

vale karma
#

it is

normal fossil
#

Is it in a different namespace?

vale karma
#

basically I made a table you walk up to, a menu is accessable by pressing E as long as your in the trigger. I have the menu popping up when pressing E, but i cant get the variable I set to true from the desk to the script of the player when he presses E

#

ill show code one sec

normal fossil
#

Ok, if the desk is allowing you to open a menu when you're in the trigger, what value are you trying to set. A value on the player?

unique hull
#

Lets get the code first

vale karma
# 

public class DeskArea : MonoBehaviour
{

    public bool inRangeOpenMenu = false;
    // Start is called before the first frame update
    void Start()
    {
        
    }

    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update()
    {
        
    }
    private void OnTriggerEnter2D(Collider2D collision)
    {
        inRangeOpenMenu = true;
        Debug.Log("Entered Desk Area");
    }

    private void OnTriggerExit2D(Collider2D collision)
    {
        inRangeOpenMenu = false;
        Debug.Log("Left Desk Area");
    }

   
}



void OpenRepairMenu()
{
    if(Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.E) && repairMenu.activeSelf == false && DeskArea.inRangeOpenMenu == true)
    {
        repairMenu.SetActive(true);
        Debug.Log("Set to true");
    }
    else if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.E) && repairMenu.activeSelf == true)
    {
        repairMenu.SetActive(false);
        Debug.Log("Set to false");
    }
}
#

the top is the script on the desk, the bottom is a method in the playercontroller script

# 
 public BoxCollider2D desk;
 public GameObject repairMenu;
 public GameObject workSpace;
 private Rigidbody2D rb;
 Vector2 move;

 [SerializeField] private float moveSpeed = 5f;
 [SerializeField] private bool isFacingRight = true;

 // Start is called before the first frame update
 void Start()
 {
     rb = GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>();
     desk = GetComponent<BoxCollider2D>();
#

i have this in start but im not too experienced to know what i did exactly lol

normal fossil
# 
void OpenRepairMenu()
{
    if(Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.E) )
    {
        if(!repairMenu.activeSelf && DeskArea.inRangeOpenMenu)
        {
            repairMenu.SetActive(true);
            Debug.Log("Set to true");
        } 
        else if(repairMenu.activeSelf)
        {
            repairMenu.SetActive(false);
            Debug.Log("Set to false");
        }
    }
    
}```
#

Try this

#

I had a similar issue today with my debug console system, checking comparators in an Input.GetKeyDown was always causing it to return false

vale karma
#

yea its still showing red under DeskArea.inRangeOpenMenu

#

its like it cant see the variable im pointing to

unique hull
#

The original code should work. Its just not as refined as the above one

normal fossil
#

Ohh, are you putting DeskArea class instead of an object?

vale karma
#

yea i dont really have a game object to check, just an ontrigger event to change the value

normal fossil
#

You have to pass it a component, not access it from a class. You could do this:

 public BoxCollider2D desk;

 public DeskArea currentDeskArea;

 public GameObject repairMenu;
 public GameObject workSpace;
 private Rigidbody2D rb;
 Vector2 move;

 [SerializeField] private float moveSpeed = 5f;
 [SerializeField] private bool isFacingRight = true;```
vale karma
#

i dont wanna use the value right away, but when i hit a key, so thats why its not just on triggerenter

normal fossil
#

and then set the currentDeskArea when the player enters the trigger.

vale karma
#

okay ill try it

normal fossil
#

and change DeskArea to currentDeskArea like this:

void OpenRepairMenu()
{
    if(Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.E) )
    {
        if(!repairMenu.activeSelf && currentDeskArea.inRangeOpenMenu)
        {
            repairMenu.SetActive(true);
            Debug.Log("Set to true");
        } 
        else if(repairMenu.activeSelf)
        {
            repairMenu.SetActive(false);
            Debug.Log("Set to false");
        }
    }
    
}```
#

and in the Desk script do this:

vale karma
#

ohhh okay, yea thats what i had wrong i think, i had workSpace as a public DeskArea, i think i had code wrong so i chagned it to GameObject, ima check if it worked rq

normal fossil
# 
private void OnTriggerEnter2D(Collider2D collision)
    {
        //Add a check to make sure its the player
        inRangeOpenMenu = true;
        collision.gameObject.GetComponent<PlayerController>().currentDeskArea = this;
        Debug.Log("Entered Desk Area");
    }

    private void OnTriggerExit2D(Collider2D collision)
    {
        inRangeOpenMenu = false;
        collision.gameObject.GetComponent<PlayerController>().currentDeskArea = null;
        Debug.Log("Left Desk Area");
    }```
#

I think setting it to this would work however I am also a newbie

#

also if your script is not called PlayerController you have to change that in the GetComponent to the name of the class (ex. if your player controller script is named PlayerMovement, then change it to that)

woahh it worksss!

#

You could just set the script to reference that one desk, however, if you have multiple desks the playerController wont know which one is the current desk, and if you have functionality for each desk it would cause issues. In its current state its unneeded

Giving up, made me stop working on a game that me and my friend were making for years. Made me stop working on my current project 2 years ago, and it destroys any hope of a future making games. You cant give up. If you get stuck take a break. Clear your head and then try to approach from a different angle. If you're trying to add an inventory system. Make it super simple at first. Just make a list. Make it so it only contains words

List<string> items = new List<string>();```

Make it simpler for you to understand

you can add a toggle from the UI gameObject. Then set that toggle to the audio, set the audio to the component

Yes, making it so tiles with certain conditions, like bounds or corners, is automatic

vale karma
#

haha that game is cool man, I love the nintendo look. does it not have any controls but E? XD

normal fossil
#

E: Opens Menu R: Opens Bag T: Opens Crafting, press c or click current item to set an item, pressing b allows you to build, left click builds an object, right click stops building

vale karma
#

The menu looks nice

normal fossil
#

Thanks

#

Also some funny debug test items in there so if you see anything like that ignore it Lol

vale karma
#

oh crap theres much more than i thought haha

normal fossil
#

Yeah, since there is no indicators it looks empty Lol

#

Save and Load system, crafting, inventory, building, chopping trees, picking up items

#

Oh, press Space to interact with objects

#

Day and night system, weather system

#

Theres a lot getting put into it

#

R rotates buildable items too

vale karma
#

jesus lol yea you may need a good UI or tutorial for that one, theres alot in there, the tree system is dope

#

it acts just like my desks

normal fossil
#

Yes, but instead of using a Trigger, it uses Raycasts

vale karma
#

does that work on a more managable scale than trigger? if i add another desk i feel like im gonna have to duplicate alot of code

#

oh god i suck with prefabs

normal fossil
#

I wanted to make it so objects have to be looked at by the player in order to be interacted with, and, I find it easier for tilemap grid based movement

#

Heres a video of the farming system

vale karma
#

jesus that only took 2 months?

normal fossil
#

And a lot of failed attempts over 6 years Lol

vale karma
#

i dont think ive put out a finished game yet. Ive been working on Unity for about half a year now

normal fossil
#

Make something stupidly simple a cookie clicker game and force yourself to finish it. Making games is the best way to learn

vale karma
#

im too off an on to say half a year,but this month or so ive been on everyday

normal fossil
#

Yeah, having a project youre invested in makes it a lot easier to work on it every day

#

The games not done, and is going through lots of changes as we make design decisions but I'm gonna add you if you need help just send me a DM if im online I'll help you out

#

Gonna head off for the night good luck on your journey bro

        this.gameObject.transform.position = playerPos.position;

        positionConstraint.AddSource();

what goes next?

charred spoke

AddSource take a parameter

#

You cant just call it like that

hey guys, it's been a while since i posted here
so i'm making a game where you shoot at machines to make them pull you in or push you out, but the intensity of the pull/push is largely inconsistent and depends on a variety of factors like how close you are to the center of the machine.
i want the machines to always launch you with the same speed. how can i go about doing this? at the moment i am using AddForce to boost the player in/away from the direction they shoot at the machine in. is there another way to reliably push the player around?

Unity_I0Zg7rCxP4.gif image.png
eternal needle
#

you also likely want that force to be an Impulse. Id also ensure that its not applying more than once

native seal
#

Anyone know why I can see the skybox through my tiles using pixel perfect cmaera?

image.png
proud sundial
#

you're right about the velocity thing, i wonder if there's a way i cna make that not affect the push/pull

charred spoke
#

If you trully want thee exact same force from the push pull objects then zero the player velocity before applying the force however that may be undesirable. I for one always try to perserve player velocity

proud sundial
#

i'll see how it works out

# native seal Anyone know why I can see the skybox through my tiles using pixel perfect cmaera...

It's a common problem. My bet is that due to floating point precision sometimes it takes wrong pixels on the edge of tiles and takes a pixel that is out of bounds. There are a few workarounds to fix it. Some are listed here:
https://blog.terresquall.com/2023/03/how-to-fix-gaps-in-your-tiles-in-unitys-2d-tilemaps/
I think Sprite Atlas should work the best. If you want alternative solutions, you can configure your tiles to slightly overlap with each other (should work fine as long you don't use transparency) or you can draw extra pixels on the edges of your tiles (e.g. if your tiles are 16x16 pixels, you can draw them 18x18 pixels in the texture).

Hello, so im working on a Vampire survivors type game and yesterday i accidently fucked up the code and cant find where it is and now the player aint even loosing HP and the stats aint showing up in the pause menu, plus im getting all of these errors, ive tried to find where the errors are through what its telling me but i cant figure out where the errors are coming from

image.png image.png
#

everything else ive done so far works, except for the HP bar for some reason

#

the player also takes constant damage even tho i set it so the player takes damage every 0.5 seconds

#

but it just refuses to work

hot sky
#

Go into whatever object has the EnemyStats script and set the public variables on the script to whatever they should be. It looks like you accidentally unset all the public variables on the script and now the damage interval has defaulted to 0 and the GameObject variables are null.

earnest tendon
#

so the issue is on the enemy stats script?

#

everything is public there

timber tide
#

where's your scene at or are you loading most of it in

also do a paste site cause posting code like that sucks in discord

because posting in discord doesn't apply that

oof

but if the inspector stuff is set, then you should debug where you're doing GetComponent and make sure it's being set

hold up im putting the code in a hastebin

ok so thats the EnemyStats script

ivory bobcat

I'm assuming it's this line player.TakeDamage(currentDamage);

nope

timber tide
# 
        EnemySpawner es = FindObjectOfType<EnemySpawner>();

Log it and make sure it's not null

Ah nvm
es.OnEnemyKilled();

if it is then it's not finding it

As I was asking where's the rest of your scene

Maybe reference the spawner instead of searching for it, if possible.

like the inspector stuff?

ivory bobcat

Finding doesn't guarantee that it's valid

Unless you've everything contained on the Scene Container object there

Maybe this should be a thread

Anyway, yeah using find is terrible. If you don't want to set references, then consider looking into a singleton pattern and grabbing references for spawn like the Enemy Spawner

I'm having an issue with color.lerp, it won't change smoothly with a transition as I expected, it only changes color once then after a few seconds it instantly changes color.

 IEnumerator DayToNight()
    {
        float time = 0;
        float transitionTime = 2;
        while(time < transitionTime)
        {
            mainCamera.backgroundColor = Color.Lerp(new Color(214, 214, 214, 0), new Color(0, 0, 0, 0), time / transitionTime);
            time += Time.deltaTime;
            yield return null;
        }

        mainCamera.backgroundColor = new Color(0, 0, 0, 0);
    }

Here's my code

I'm guessing alpha zero isn't what you're wanting.

What are you actually getting?

lunar grove
#

its a solid color

#

I just want to make a smooth color transition from color a to color b

ivory bobcat
#

If you want values up to 255, use Color32

lunar grove
#

so I shouldn't use color with rgb then?

ivory bobcat
lunar grove

I don't know what you're doing but 0 alpha would make the color transparent - invisible.

Normalized values are within ranges of [0f, 1f] whereas Color32 accepts values from [0, 255]

#

Going from no color white to no color black would just have you see a no color.

barren vapor
#

maybe it attaches to the pivot

ivory bobcat

Basically, you were using non normalized values for Color that was expecting normalized values and you had alpha transparency set to max which made your color invisible to the eye.

I've put a character controller on my enemies. I have some code to make them face the player and Move() towards them. I implemented collisions with some throwables and the player with OnControllerColliderHit and sure enough they wouldn't react to stuff thrown at them when they're in idle state. (because the oncontrollercolliderhit is only called whenever the controller is moving). So beginner question: how do I setup my enemies? the character controller ensured they would follow slopes and the ground correctly. I was hoping to make them use navmeshes eventually. But if I want them to be able to fall off a cliff or something I still need to just put a capsule collider on them and implement things I got from the character controller myself? What's the "standard" way of doing this?

timber tide
#

if you want physics with navmesh you simply don't compute the path when they aren't grounded

#

nor allow them to continue moving on the path they were currently on

exotic hazel
#

how do i find the coordinates of where the player is looking at

gaunt ice
#

raycast a screen ray and get the hit.point

#

probably start from the middle of screen space

vast vessel
#

Is it better to use Array.Find or to loop through the arrays items and find the item im looking for?

gaunt ice
#

use dictionary

vast vessel
#

Thats not an answer to my question

timber tide
#

array is pretty simplified concept itself so there's no real pattern matching beyond iterating and comparing it yourself

gaunt ice
#

btw i would avoid using callback, that is much slower then normal function call (though callback is much easier to use)
and i will use dictionary or sorted set if possible

#

O(n)=O(10n) when n->infinity

I am thinking of adding z_value into consideration, making the y_value that appears on the screen = y_grounded_value + some_coefficient*z_value

#

how do we implement this? can we change unity rendering code?

scarlet skiff
#

can you guys elaborate

rare basin
#

it returns a value of your joystick/keyboard input

#

down = -1

#

no input = 0

#

up = 1

#

Since input is not smoothed, keyboard input will always be either -1, 0 or 1

scarlet skiff
#

so its NOT if the player is falling, but if i press the down arrow button?

rare basin
#

how is that related to the player "falling"

#

this is just a input detection

scarlet skiff
#

moving down in the y axis

rare basin
#

you need to make your own falling logic

#

it's just input

#

it doesnt detect if player is moving down in the y axis

#

it detects if you press "S" key or left stick on gamepad down, or dpad down or whatever

scarlet skiff
#

ok ty

#

would these work?

image.png
#

lastPosition = playerTransform.position;

in update

burnt vapor
scarlet skiff
#

it didnt

#

😭

#

seems that it never returns true

burnt vapor
#

Also for the sake of improving the way you write code, you can just do return lastPosition.y < playerTransform.position.y

scarlet skiff
#

even if the player moves up or down

burnt vapor
#

You can use Debug.Log for that and then look at the editor console for the output

# 
Debug.Log($"{lastPosition.y} - {playerTransform.position.y}");

Something like this, in your Update method.

scarlet skiff
burnt vapor
#

Yes

#

I would guess lastPosition is updated wrong and will not compare correctly

scarlet skiff
#

ok so it seems they are always the same

#

even when i jump

burnt vapor
#

Yes so my guess is you update lastPosition, and then check against the current position

bronze yacht
#

Hey Guys
Does somebody know if the Object reference changed or something in the newer version?'Object' is an ambiguous reference between 'UnityEngine.Object' and 'object'

burnt vapor
#

You need to make sure you update it after. One way would be to use LateUpdate

#

But I do advice against it

bronze yacht
burnt vapor
#

Or add this:
using object = UnityEngine.Object;
If you need the namespace.

scarlet skiff
burnt vapor
#

So you don't update it immediatley, but instead you use something like a Queue for example

bronze yacht
burnt vapor
#

All in all I just don't advice LateUpdate since you either use the normal variant or a late variant, and if you still need to have something happen later then you have no proper solution

#

So uhh, probably better to have a Queue and to take the second entry. The first one would be the same again most likely

scarlet skiff
#

okay so there a few problems, mainly that it somehow can set jump to true even when the player is idle, imma take a look at queue and see how it works, cuz rn i udpate the pos last thing in update

burnt vapor
#

If you use the Queue class it works similar to a List, but instead of adding items you enqueue items. If you set the max size to 2 it will pop whatever items are added first so you can just get the second entry every time

#

Probably not very efficient though, but I think a queue is pretty solid when it comes to tackling the issue before you do any sort of polishing.

#

Be sure to make a GetLastPosition method or property that gets the entry in the queue for you to avoid having to rewrite a lot of code later

I've been following a guide until I ran into a code i wasn't familiar with, it was called BoxGroup, what is it used for and is it code used from the asset store?

Not much that can be said here unless you share the guide, perhaps

lunar grove
#

is there a way to check if a specific GameObject exists?

burnt vapor
lunar grove
burnt vapor
#

Yes, but why? Why check for a gameobject? What is the purpose of the script?

#

I doubt you are checking a random gameobject unless you aim for a specific system

lunar grove
burnt vapor
#

Again, what is this system? Please specify it

#

Is it a monster spawner? Please share the code

lunar grove
#

It's actually just the chrome dino game lmaoo in unity, I need the moon phases

#

once a previous moon phase has gone by the next one must progress

burnt vapor
#

Why not reuse the same moon instance and change its sprite to the next phase?

#

I feel like that's easier than removing the last moon instance every time

lunar grove
burnt vapor
#

Either way, if you were to spawn a new gameobject then consider using an enum, and a variable that holds that enum as the "last phase"

#

Then when you spawn the next one, check this variable for the next enum to spawn

#

And you can contain the moon's gameobject in another variable so you know what to destroy

Show the component in the Inspector

u mean the health bar?

short hazel
#

Whatever you're trying to modify the fill amount of

dark elbow
burnt vapor
# dark elbow

What is Image here? I think your mistake is not using UnityEngine.UI.Image

#

Because that one has fillAmount

short hazel
#

Yeah so that's the Image type

burnt vapor
#

Could be wrong tho

#

Newer Unity versions have some changes with UI so you might be using a different Image class

short hazel
#

So if your code fails to find a fillAmount property on it, then it's not finding the right Image type - did you make your own class Image? It's picking that one first

dark elbow
burnt vapor
#

But you have a separate package for UnityEngine.UIElements.Image.fillFormat you need to install or something

dark elbow
rare basin
short hazel
# dark elbow yes

Well there you go. Avoid naming your own classes the same as Unity's

#

Since your classes are put in the global namespace, it's technically closer to the one in UnityEngine.UI

#

So the compiler takes yours first

dark elbow
#

it still doesent work

#

i still get the same error

short hazel
#

Did you rename your own Image class to something else?

dark elbow
#

yes

short hazel
#

Make sure you saved and returned to Unity so the code is recompiled

#

Clear the console and make sure the error is not present there

dark elbow
#

still nothing

short hazel
#

Show the declaration of your variable

dark elbow
short hazel
#

Okay Ctrl+Click that Image and see where it takes you

dark elbow
#

It takes me to Image.cs

short hazel
#

Which one? Unity's

rare basin
#

did you also changed your filename

#

from your old Image class

#

show the console

dark elbow
#

yes, unity's

short hazel
#

Post a screenshot of it

#

The first few lines of code

rare basin
#

you can just hover over the Image variable type and see in which namespace it is

dark elbow
short hazel
#

No that's not Unity's

#

That's Microsoft.Unity.VisualStudio

dark elbow
#

oh

short hazel
#

You have the wrong using directive in your own code

#

Unity's Image class is in UnityEngine.UI

its fixed now

but in reality you are not increasing the actual audio clip speed

scarlet tiger
#

you could see if the length is greater than 0, or loop through the array

#

depends on what you are trying to do

keen hill
#

what lenght?

rare basin
#

you can use pitch scaling

#

to imitate that

eager elm
# frosty blaze then?

just try it out and see if it is what you want, pitch of 1 is usually the default value and 3 is max

frosty blaze
#

oh

rare basin
#

time stretching requires a more complex algorithm that can be quite slow

keen hill
#

i was trying to check whenever something collides i can do something like pickit up

#

for example

scarlet tiger
#

ok, so i'd just loop through the array and do your pick up logic

rare basin
#

you can modify the pitch, then do 1/pitch in the audio mixer

#

only way to imitate the "speed up"

#

just changing the pitch wont do the trick

keen hill
#

how can i loop tho sorry im new to this stuff

rare basin
#

your audio clip will sound very high pitched only, not speeded up (it will be played in the same duration, just higher pitched)

eager elm

like what an array is and looping

#

Can anyone help me to fix an issue regarding Attack animation?
I have a PlayerObject with a Combat script. In this script I create a method "public IEnumerate DamageWhileAnimationPlays()"
on my PlayerObject I have a SubObject which is the PlayerSprite with an Animator attached. When I now try to create an animation Event and call the "DamageWhileAnimationPlays()" it doesnt show me any methods within the "create animation event" -window I know it's probably because the Combat Script is attached to "Player" and the Animator is attached to "Player/PlayerSprite". But is there a way to get this working?

        currentRot = Mathf.Lerp(currentRot, stopRot, Time.deltaTime * speed);
        transform.rotation = Quaternion.Euler(Vector3.back * currentRot);

        if (Mathf.Abs(currentRot - stopRot) <= 0.1f)
        {
            animate = false;
            isRotated = !isRotated;
        }

When Z or X is pressed the object rotates towards a different place, but the code works overall and the object rotates. But what im trying to say is that its not supposed to rotate the either way (its hard to explain, i recorded it)

The above would be calling the constructor to create a new instance of the type

so you use new Vector3 whenever you have another vector3 in the line?

rich adder
#

no

#

in this case transform.position is a V3 but you cannot modify directly its properties (x,y,z) only read them

#

so you either put another new vector3 that you created earlier or now hence the new()

ivory bobcat
# open sierra so you use new Vector3 whenever you have another vector3 in the line?

The assignment operator (the equal sign) suggests that you're wanting to assign something on the right to the left. Position is a property that is of the type Vector3. Since it's a property, we cannot modify it's members (x, y, z) directly so instead we'll assign it a completely different Vector3 instance. To create a new Vector3, you'd use the new keyword with it's constructor.

langauage is just a tool to achieve a goal

#

you're telling the computer to do X Y Z

#

it doesn't care which language it is

#

its all machine code in the end

ivory bobcat
#

Another common pattern is to copy the Vector 3, modify the particular component and reassign it back to the position propertycs var position = transform.position;//Cache the position position.x = -10;//Modify the x component of the Vector 3 transform.position = position;//overwrite the position property with our updated cacheReminder that properties aren't fields.

ive used a couple languages before deciding to ultimately switch to c#... and usually you have to come up with your very own creative solutions to problems more often than not... c# on the other hand has everything already covered and its... weird...

You use the value Instantiate returns and put that in DDOL

So if i went the singleton way. Could i create an essential Loader class. then have all my DDOl on that class

they can just inherit from that 1 singletonclass and you dont have to do any additonal logic or keep track of anything

honest haven
#

or make the player a singleton

rich adder
#

like per example Foo : Singleton<Foo>

honest haven
#

and add the null check on that

timber tide
# open sierra Can someone explain to me how the inside of the "if" line of code works? I don't...

transform.position is obtained through a property (getter) but there is no setter for independent values of x, y, z; there is only a setter for Vector3 struct as a whole. This means the only way to change the position is to send your own Vector3 struct into transform. Also, since transform.position is a property, the Vector3 information you receive is passed by value because structs are value type, meaning that editing the recieved Vector3 data will not reflect the actual transform.position data unless you send it back.

rich adder
#

you want to avoid writing repetitive code

#

you write DDOL like 3 times in 1 class instead of having class take care of itself by inheritance

honest haven
#

yes i agree thats why i want to get this wight

right

there are many ways to do pretty much everything, ultimetly its up to you. You're the one looking at the code

some of those is because the script is still attached to a gameobject

Do you mean inputs? I believe inputs by default are configured to match frames. FixedUpdate doesn't align with frames, which might make you lose some inputs. I don't remember if it can be configured differently. I usually separate inputs and movement logic from each other to avoid potential issues.

Hey guys, I think this can be answered without showing my full script. I have script on a on an object and a reference to my player(rigidbody) on the script, but on start ,it deletes and I get an error " There is no 'Rigidbody' attached to... ". I even have a on start to call the rb

private void Start()
    {
        RB = GetComponent<Rigidbody>();
    }

am I doing this wrong? Does the object need a rigidbody its self for me to access another(player)

This where those c# problems come along but iterating through foreach is something you should read into

I suggest just go through all the topics on this if you've not. Very basic concepts to go through

hello, I get this error:

Unable to find shaders used for the terrain engine. Please include Nature/Terrain/BillboardTree shader in Graphics settings.

What I don't understand is, why do I don't get this error in playmode? Only when I build the game and play via the build. I understand what it wants me to do, but I don't even have that shader it seems, the only shaders I have in Nature/Terrain/ are Diffuse, Specular and Standard.

So what is going on?

Any help is MUCH MUCH appreciated! (PS: I am using Adressables if it makes a difference)
