into a list of instance ids, list of something else

[lean basin]

I would if there is no way to check if those int belong to instanceID or not.

but if there is why not? the game logic doesn't need to know if it belongs to a component or not

[hexed terrace]

You still haven't answered WHERE this list comes from

[rare basin]

i still have no clue what are you trying to do

[drowsy totem]

as discussed in this stackexchange thread, Time.time may start becoming inaccurate after a 9-hour playsession
https://gamedev.stackexchange.com/questions/141807/what-happens-when-time-time-gets-very-large-in-unity

if you want to keep a running timer / ticker for whatever reason, is there a recommended way to do it?

some examples:

timer += Time.deltaTime * rate;
while (timer > 1.0f)
    timer -= 1.0f;

timer += Time.deltaTime * rate;
timer = timer % 1f;

if(Time.time - startTime > 1f) {
    startTime = Time.time;
}

I think the first two give more or less the same end result, while the third one might run into inaccuracies in long play sessions. Thoughts?

[rare basin]

and for me it seems that your entire debugging structure is implemented incorrectly

why do you have a list of ints that has instance ids and other things

[gaunt ice]

so you can split it now, since you dont know where the int from and the int can be instance ID (false positive)

[rare basin]

and want to separete what is instance id what is not

[timber tide]

why not just get system time

[lean basin]

the list come from a class?? i don't know what that means.
But the int is sometimes just random int, sometimes from GetInstanceId()

[rare basin]

how do you add elements

to that list

just make 2 lists

one for instanceIDs

one for random things

why are you putting everythnig into one list, then trying to figure out what is what wtf

why are you making your job harder 😄

[lean basin]

hmm maybe I should show a code? I don't know if it can explain what I'm doing.

// This is a class that handle an action that might be requested by multiple entities.
// It prevent a disabling of an action when only one entity is finished it's request.

    public UnityAction onActivated;
    // Triggered when requestList.Count is changed from 1 to 0.
    public UnityAction onDeactivated;
    // Triggered when requestList.Count is changed between 0 and 1
    // true is the same with onActivated, false is the same with onDeactivated
    [InfoBox("Please only connect this with code, thank you!")]
    [HideInInspector] public UnityEvent<bool> onStatusChanged = new();

    bool currentStatus = false;
    public void AddRequest(int requester) {
        if (!requesterList.Contains(requester)) {
            requesterList.Add(requester);
            Refresh();
            #if DEBUG
            RefreshObjectLists();
            #endif
        }
        
    }
    public void RemoveRequest(int requester) {
        if (requesterList.Remove(requester)){
            Refresh();
            #if DEBUG
            RefreshObjectLists();
            #endif
        }
        
    }
    public bool GetStatus() {
        return currentStatus;
    }
    void Refresh() {
        if (requesterList.Count > 0) {
            if (!currentStatus) {
                onActivated?.Invoke();
                onStatusChanged.Invoke(true);
                currentStatus = true;
            }
        } else {
            if (currentStatus) {
                onDeactivated?.Invoke();
                onStatusChanged.Invoke(false);
                currentStatus = false;
            }
        }
    }

[drowsy totem]

is this your approach?

1. you have a list of integers
2. some integers are IDs of things and others are not
3. you want to check if an integer matches the ID of a thing, and if so, you do an action?

what happens is the integer on the list randomly happens to match an ID, but wasn't an ID, just a randomly matching number?

[lean basin]

then the game will still run just fine. probably.
I only need info about wether or not it is instance ID for debugging purpose.

[drowsy totem]

coroutines are also an option, I'm asking if there's a recommended way

[gaunt ice]

there is chance of false positive so you need to split the list, if it doesnt matter then keep your work

[rare basin]

then use InstanceIDToObject

[timber tide]

id' just sync to system time every so often

[rare basin]

        foreach (int id in yourList)
        {
            Object obj = EditorUtility.InstanceIDToObject(id);
            if (obj != null)
            {
                // The integer is a valid InstanceID, and obj is the corresponding object
                Debug.Log($"InstanceID {id} belongs to {obj.GetType().Name} component");
            }
            else
            {
                // The integer is not a valid InstanceID
                Debug.Log($"Integer {id} does not correspond to any InstanceID");
            }
        }

[lean basin]

I did use that. I wrote it in my question.

[rare basin]

then what else do you need

[drowsy totem]

@lean basin
if you add cs at the end of the first three backticks you get colour information btw
```cs
some code
```

[lean basin]

#💻┃code-beginner message
I need to know if those belongs to MonoBehavior or not.

[rare basin]

if(obj is MonoBehaviour)

[lean basin]

if it's a class that inherits from MonoBehavior, will it still returned true?

[rare basin]

if Dog inherits from Animal

is dog still a animal?

[lean basin]

im pretty sure I tried that before and it returned false. Let me try again

[gaunt ice]

public class HelloWorld{
    public class A{}
    public class B:A{}
    public static void Main(string[] args){
        B b=new();
        Console.WriteLine (b is A);
    }
}

try it

[drowsy totem]

there's IsSubclassOf , which might be what you want. is MonoBehaviour might work too, I haven't tried it myself, but a quick google search implied it might not work in all cases

[languid spire]

is or as will work, is returns true/false, as return class or null, use either. is is more efficient if you dont actually need the cast

[lean basin]

Oh it works!! thanks everyone

My bad, looks like I actually haven't tried that before. Instead of is I used as then compare null. And I mistakenly thought I already used is.

[daring island]

How to force resolution to be the same in the build as in the editor? For example, i have 1440x3088 and when builded it shows all unplayable area of the game, which are out of the camera in the editor.

[sleek radish]

Get world position of object as a child

[drowsy totem]

Same resolution, or same aspect ratio?

[daring island]

@drowsy totemaspect ratio

Well it should be as in a mobile, but i want it to be that way on PC either

With black bars or whatever

It makes it this way, when i want to constrict view camera to the width of this bottom line

And in the editor the camera set exactly like that

But not in the build

[drowsy totem]

I found a thread discussing this, with a code example from August 203 in the last post
https://forum.unity.com/threads/option-to-enforce-aspect-ratios.1473063/

Basically, they edit the values of the Camera object to enforce a specific aspect ratio

[daring island]

@drowsy totem brilliant. That's why i needed. Thank you

[shell oriole]

Hello! I need some help. I am making a choose your own adventure game in Unity. Should I use scenes for every new choice?

[keen dew]

no

[shell oriole]

so what should i do?

[wintry quarry]

Some kind of dialogue tree

Look into Ink for example

Or NaniNovel

[shell oriole]

Well, the problem is that my text adventure game is not quite standard. And plus I've already programmed a choice system.

[swift crag]

i would suggest looking into one of these existing systems and seeing if you can adapt your idea to work with them

[shell oriole]

It's a life simulator that is fully randomized.

I'm just not sure how it would work.

What I'm asking is just, what should I use scenes for, and what I should not use them for.

[drowsy totem]

scenes are, among other things, containers of data that takes a while to load

you make choices quickly, and want the responses to be quick

you don't want to be loading and unloading data all the time, so you shouldn't change the scenes too often

[shell oriole]

The idea of the game is that it gives you an event in your life, and then you respond by choosing

[drowsy totem]

yes, that is pretty typical for a choose your own adventure game

[shell oriole]

but it skips a month every turn

[drowsy totem]

it's pretty typical for turn based games to have a turn counter

whether turns are days, months or hours, it's just a number going up

[shell oriole]

yes, but what should I do for it?

[drowsy totem]

which text game / CYOA tutorials for unity have you watched, or which games in the genre have you analyzed from a technical perspective?

I haven't done any of those in Unity, so I don't know the best practices, but I assume there will be resources out there

[shell oriole]

Just I don't want to load a scene for every new event

so what should I do? Just change the text?

[drowsy totem]

you'd want to have an event manager

that's separate from your UI

let's say you have an event UI

it shows the typical CYOA stuff - text description, visuals, choices, perhaps some stats and other info

you have a separate set of data that includes each possible event

each event knows its texts, visuals, choices etc

you have some sort of an event manager that reads the info from the chosen event, and uses it to set up the event UI with the correct stuff

[shell oriole]

Alright.

[drowsy totem]

and when you make a choice, it displays whatever the event needs displayed, and changes the stats and other info as necessary

a scene would be necessary if there's a need to change the UI in a major way

[shell oriole]

Ok. Thank you!

[drowsy totem]

say, moving between life stages, where the information available and events available need changing

[shell oriole]

Yeah.

ty!

[drowsy totem]

just so you know, there's a bunch of game engines specifically for CYOA games, text adventures and visual novels, and one of those might make your game idea easier to implement than Unity

you can absolutely do it in Unity too, and it can be a good way to learn, so it depends on how much your goal is "make the game", and how much it is "learn new stuff"

[shell oriole]

Ok, I will note that. Thank you!

[dim halo]

how can I perfectly allign to objects in unity

[unique hull]

How do you mean?

[dim halo]

these two objects arent perfectly alligned

as you can see there is a little gap

I want them to be perfectly alligned

[silk night]

Math, you know their position and their size, so calculate where the edges are and position it like that

[unique hull]

As they are rectangular , you can calculate it by using half of the width/height to determine the x/y coordinates

[icy junco]

how can i add like a character and movement animation into my game is the only way just making it all myself or is there like a way to just import it

[rare basin]

this is a code related channel

[bold nova]

Trying to calculate for input duration (how long player has pressed button) , any idea why i get negative numbers? xDir and YDir are fields of the movement class

private void Move()
{
    xDir = Input.GetAxis(horizontalAxis);
    yDir = Input.GetAxis(verticalAxis);
   
    Vector3 moveDir = new Vector3(xDir, yDir);

    transform.Translate(moveDir * movementSpeed * Time.deltaTime);
}

private void CheckInputDuration()
{
    if (Input.GetButtonDown(verticalAxis) || Input.GetButtonDown(horizontalAxis))
    {
        startMoveTime = Time.time;
        Debug.Log("Start = " + startMoveTime);
    }

    if (Input.GetButtonUp(verticalAxis) || Input.GetButtonUp(horizontalAxis))
    {
        endMoveTime = Time.time;
        Debug.Log("End = " + endMoveTime);
    }
    float time = endMoveTime - startMoveTime;

    TimeSpendMoving += time;
    Debug.Log("Time moved = " + TimeSpendMoving);
}

[buoyant knot]

this might be simpler with InputSystem, which invokes a method when button is pressed or released

[swift crag]

Your logic is wrong here.

[buoyant knot]

also get button up for an axis is wacky

[swift crag]

You're starting the timer whenever either the vertical or horizontal axis goes "down"

I guess that'll happen when the axis goes from 0 to non-zero?

Then you stop when either axis goes "up"

and then you're constantly adding endMoveTime - startMoveTime to TimeSpendMoving

which makes no sense; that's adding the duration to the total every frame

this is doing all kinds of wacky things

here's how I would handle this

Vector3 moveDir = new Vector3(xDir, yDir);

bool moveHappening = moveDir.magnitude > 0.01f; // some small value

if (moveHappening) { 
  timeSpentMoving += Time.deltaTime;
}

if (!currentlyMoving && moveHappening) {
  startTime = Time.time;
} else if (currentlyMoving && !moveHappening) {
  endTime = Time.time;

  float duration = endTime - startTime;
  // do something with the duration here
}

currentlyMoving = moveHappening;

this will add to timeSpentMoving every frame that you're moving around

it will also record when you start and stop moving

[bold nova]

took a while to wrap my head around it, but now this makes more sense, thanks!

[swift crag]

np!

[buoyant minnow]

yes but is ur class commented out on purpose?

no, I just put it wrong

[buoyant minnow]

haha okay whats the issue with the code

[queen adder]

now

I want the name of the character the player is going to select to appear on a textbox when the mouse hovers over the image/button of the character. the console says I read the name fine but the text in the textbox doesn't change

[rare basin]

are you changing the value of a text property of the texxt mesh pro related to the textbox?

[queen adder]

textmeshpro

[polar acorn]

Is it an InputField or just a normal text object?

[queen adder]

a normal text object

the textbox just allow the player to read the name to know who they are choosing

[polar acorn]

Seems like one of two possibilities:

1. Something else is changing the text back after this sets it to currentLeaderName
2. The text getting changed in code is different than the one you think it is

I think 1 is more likely, it's possible a different object's PointerExit is being run after this object's PointerEnter

And overwriting it back to default text

[queen adder]

but wouldn't OnPointExit just change the text to "choose your character"? the text is just empty

[polar acorn]

Ah, in that case then it's likely either situation 2 or there's another script changing it to blank

How are you assigning chooseText? Is it a prefab, or an object in the scene?

[queen adder]

an object in scene

[polar acorn]

And that object is directly dragged in to each instance of this class?

[queen adder]

just found in a different script that the choose text is chooseText.color = textTransparent;

that seems to be my problem

[queen adder]

yes

[polar acorn]

Yeah so it's definitely another script overwriting the text, which it seems like you found

Hi. I decided to make a more "realistic" flashlight. I want the flashlight to keep up with the camera's rotation speed. I wrote a line (29) for this. The flashlight lags behind the camera, but it lags too far behind. What else do I need to add?

[swift crag]

is the lantern parented to the player?

if so, this code doesn't really make senes; it's going to set the local rotation of the lantern based on this frame's mouse moverment

You should not be multiplying mouse input by deltaTime

anyway - make the light a child of the camera

Hey, guys! For one reason, when my game is Game Over I still can interact with the pause button. I was thinking how to fix it I have tried everything.

Here is the code:

 {
     if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Escape) && pauseIsActive == true)
     {
         if (gameIsOver == false)
         {
             StartCoroutine(ResumeAfterDelay());
         }

         else if (gameIsOver == true)
         {
             gameIsOver = true;
         }
         
     }

     else if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Escape) && pauseIsActive == false)
     {
         if (gameIsOver == false)
         {
             StartCoroutine(PauseAfterDelay());
         }

         else if (gameIsOver == true)
         {
             gameIsOver = true;
         }
         
     }
 }```

[wintry quarry]

when does this code run? What does any of this have to do with your pause button?

[sage mirage]

I am not sure I just got confused

[sage mirage]

In this, I have the input for my pause button

[wintry quarry]

also why do:

if (gameIsOver == false) {
  ...
}
else if (gameIsOver == true) {

}```
You can just do:
```cs
if (gameIsOver) {

}
else {

}```

[wintry quarry]

wdym by pause button? Is it a UI button?

Or are you talking about the escape keyboard button

[sage mirage]

I don't know I just used to write it like that

[keen dew]

else if (gameIsOver == true)
{
   gameIsOver = true;
}

🤔

[wintry quarry]

yeah that makes no sense lol

[sage mirage]

I know XD

I just didn't know what else to write XD

[wintry quarry]

You need to explain what this code is supposed to be doing and where/when/how it runs

[ivory bobcat]

Log stuff like if pause is active and if game is over

[wintry quarry]

Is this code being called from Update somewhere? From a UI bitton handler?

[sage mirage]

Anyway, I have a button that enables and disables the pause menu screen which for my game is a gameobject

[wintry quarry]

UI button? #💻┃code-beginner message

[sage mirage]

I am using escape button

[wintry quarry]

ok so is this code in Update?

[sage mirage]

yeah

[wintry quarry]

ok so - cs else if (gameIsOver == true) { gameIsOver = true; }

this does absolutely nothing

I don't understand why it's here or what you expect it to do

[sage mirage]

I have something like this now

[wintry quarry]

if you don't want to be able to pause when the game is over then I would expect something like:

if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Escape) && pauseIsActive && !gameIsOver)```

[sage mirage]

 {
     
 }

 else if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Escape) && pauseIsActive == false)
 {
     
 }```

I have to put coroutines inside of them

[wintry quarry]

what's wrong with just else?

Why do you retype the whole thing

[sage mirage]

Don't worry about that I am just capricious

[wintry quarry]

void Update() {
  if (gameIsOver) return; // skip everything
  
  if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Escape)) {
    if (pauseIsActive) {
      // unpause
    }
    else {
      // pause
    }
  }
}``` This is how I'd do it

[sage mirage]

Here you return something after the first condition what is that your return?

[ivory bobcat]

If you can pause and unpause, we can assume game over isn't ever true.

[wintry quarry]

wdym by "what is that your return"?

return means to exit the function immediately

[charred spoke]

He returns void

[sage mirage]

yeah ok

[wintry quarry]

since the function has void as the return type, we don't need to return an object. We can just return; on its own

[sage mirage]

ok

@wintry quarry Hey! So, whenever I want to exit a function completely I have to use return right? I just didn't know what to put on the else statement after the if condition.

Like if I don't want to do something else I can exit with that keyword?

[wintry quarry]

i don't understand what the point of that else statement is in your code. It seems to be "if the game is over". You said you don't want to do ANYTHING in that case, so there's no point to put any code there, right? It would be pointless to put return there because the function is already ending.

[ivory bobcat]

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/language-reference/statements/jump-statements#the-return-statement

[sage mirage]

So, I can just leave it blank?

[wintry quarry]

why not

[sage mirage]

Alright!

[wintry quarry]

just delete the whole else entirely

what's the point of it

[wintry quarry]

My recommendation for a simpler code structure overall is here

[edgy fox]

how do I compare the rotation of 2 objects around only one axis? I tried just comparing their transform.rotation.EulerAngles.y but then when one would snap from 179 to -179 the code breaks

[wintry quarry]

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Vector3.SignedAngle.html you plug in the two object's forward directions and the axis

[edgy fox]

so is there a function to compare the angle just around aroudn an axis rather than just total difference if that makes sense

ah ok thans

[wintry quarry]

so for example:

float angle = Vector3.SignedAngle(objectA.forward, objectB.forward, Vector3.up);```

[edgy fox]

should that minus be an =?

[wintry quarry]

yes

[edgy fox]

the second is from top - would your code discriminate between the two or would it just return the total angle

because one of the objects' gameObject.forward is pointing down and to the right

comparing camera to the walls of that frame

[wintry quarry]

the vectors will be projected on the plane of the provided axis

and then the angle will be calculated

so it's fine

[edgy fox]

ah ok awesome

[west sonnet]

How can I play multiple audio clips from the same object? Right now, I have 2 audio clips that each have their own audio source on an object, but if they play at the same time, it messes up the audio

[wintry quarry]

Use PlayOneShot

[west sonnet]

Tried that but got this error. Not sure what it means

[wintry quarry]

mauybe look at the documentation for that function

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/AudioSource.PlayOneShot.html

There is of course also https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/AudioSource.PlayClipAtPoint.html

[polar acorn]

There is no overload of PlayOneShot that has no arguments. You need to pass it an argument like your IDE suggests

[west sonnet]

The argument, would be the name of the audioclip, right?

[wintry quarry]

no

it would be a reference to the audio clip you want to play

[polar acorn]

Check the docs, is there a form that takes in a name as a parameter?

[west sonnet]

Not sure what I'm doing wrong here

[wintry quarry]

you passed in an audio source

it wants an audio clip

[west sonnet]

Oh, I see 🤦🏻‍♂️

[wintry quarry]

Basically you tried to put a CD Player inside your CD Player, instead of the CD

[silver sun]

why is nearestPlanet's index in the planets list -1 ? i assigned it as the last planet in the inspector which is element 5, it should not be -1, it should be 5:
https://pastebin.com/bJx0NegZ
also this is the only script with a reference to nearestPlanet.

[edgy fox]

when I do objectName.forward, they all share what feels like the same forward axis

assigned via Vector3 angleDiff = wallGrandParent.forward - transform.forward;

and turned off via if (angleDiff.z > 0)

[polar acorn]

FindIndex returns -1 if the find is unsuccessful

[wintry quarry]

I don't undertsand what wallGrandParent.forward - transform.forward would be calculating

[polar acorn]

Click on an object and look at the transform gizmo (make sure it's set to local). The blue arrow is "forward"

[edgy fox]

the offset between the angle of wallGrandParent and the camera's transform

[wintry quarry]

what?

What are you trying to do exactly?

Why didn't you try the SignedAngle approach I recommended before?

[polar acorn]

||Because they didn't understand it and didn't want to learn anything new||

[wintry quarry]

subtracting direction vectors isn't going to give you anything particularly useful

[swift crag]

use the methods that Unity generously provides you

they're great

[edgy fox]

bozo moment, Vector3 angleDiff = Vector3.SignedAngle(wallGrandParent.forward, transform.forward, Vector3.up); triggers an error 'cannot implicitly convert from float to Vector3`

[west sonnet]

When using PlayOneShot(), I only have to have 1 AudioSource, right? Or do I need one for each clip?

[wintry quarry]

because you're trying to assign to a Vector3 variable inexplicably

Why not follow my example instead?

[edgy fox]

oh I'm a bozo

[swift crag]

You can play multiple clips at once with PlayOneShot

[wintry quarry]

if you just want to know if the objects are facing roughly the same direciton on the y axis you could do this:

// project both vectors on the x/z plane:
Vector3 objectForward = Vector3.ProjectOnPlane(wallGrandParent.forward, Vector3.up);
Vector3 camForward = Vector3.ProjectOnPlane(transform.forward, Vector3.up);
float angle = Vector3.Angle(objectFoward, camForward);
if (angle < 90) {
  // they're facing sorta the same way
}
else {
  // they're facing sorta opposite ways
}```

[swift crag]

However, if you change the audio source's pitch, the pitch of all of the playing clips will change, iirc

[polar acorn]

The audio source is where the sound comes from, if they all come from the same place that's fine

[west sonnet]

Yeah, but do I need an audiosource attached to my object?

Ahh okay

[swift crag]

Yes.

If you don't want to have an audio source at all, there is https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/AudioSource.PlayClipAtPoint.html

[cosmic quail]

since u are making a 2d game u should just have one audiomanager object and handle all the audio on that. instead of placing audiosources on your objects.

[west sonnet]

Hmmm, I hadn't thought about that. That could be a good idea, thanks

[deft siren]

is there a way to make it so th Ai monster keep facing the direction theyre going?

like, without going off the trail/cutting sharp edges

[gritty stratus]

Idk if you'd even want to touch this, but FMOD is fantastic for audio handling if you want to get a bit more in depth into dealing with audio. However, it is a bit of a learning curve. Personally, I like it better than the standard Unity way of calling audio; but everyone differs

[ivory bobcat]

It would depend on context but surely it's possible.

[swift crag]

this is the default way a NavMeshAgent behaves

[deft siren]

i made this for examplifying, the blue is what i want it to do and red is what its doing

[swift crag]

It's doing exactly what you told it to

[wintry quarry]

maybe you want a grid-based pathfinding instead of navmesh

[swift crag]

It's finding a path towards the destination inside the navmesh

yes, if you want the entity to move on a grid, you need to make it move on a grid

[west sonnet]

So, I've tried making an audiomanager object that has an audiosource attached to it. But now when I play, I get this error and no sound

This is my code. Am I doing something wrong?

[swift crag]

well, where's the error coming from?

[deft siren]

i disabled this and im going to test if it works

[swift crag]

it's absolutely not coming from the line you have highlighted in the code editor

[swift crag]

this has nothing to do with your problem

[deft siren]

damm

[swift crag]

OffMeshLinks are explicitly placed to create a "bridge" across an otherwise unwalkable gap

[ivory bobcat]

Can you show the entire error from the console window?

[ivory bobcat]

Also, post the !code more appropriately so we can see the line numbers

[wintry quarry]

you are passing null into the method

[west sonnet]

I'm not sure I know what you mean

[wintry quarry]

the parameter you passed in

was null

Did you assign your audio clips?

[west sonnet]

But it's an audio clip?

Yeah

In the inspector

[wintry quarry]

it seems loike you didn't

[west sonnet]

Here on the right

[wintry quarry]

what object do you have selected there?

[west sonnet]

The gun

Not the audiomanager

[short hazel]

It's that weird error, the AudioSource is null, not the clip

Deep down it calls an extern static method with the source and the clip, and the error says that source is null

[west sonnet]

So should I put an audioclip in the audiosource?

[short hazel]

No you should make sure what you call PlayOneShot(clip) on is properly referenced in your Inspector

[ivory bobcat]

Debug.Log($"{name} played the one shot: '{GunShotReloadSound}'", this);```

[short hazel]

All the properties here in your inspector are in bold, and show a blue margin on the left. This means the change hasn't been applied to the original prefab.
Any instantiations of the prefab won't have the source referenced

[ivory bobcat]

Click the log message and make sure everything is appropriately referenced in the inspector.

The object should become highlighted yellow when the message is selected.

[west sonnet]

if I double click the error, it does this

[ivory bobcat]

Place this before that line and verify that everything is properly referenced

[polar acorn]

Also log AudioManager just to be sure

[west sonnet]

This is what I get

[ivory bobcat]

Which object was highlighted yellow? Was the fields properly set in the inspector?

[edgy fox]

when I do that it still takes vertical rotation into account

[west sonnet]

If I click on the white error, it highlights the object I want to play my audio from

[ivory bobcat]

This would be at runtime as you're assigning it in Start.

[ivory bobcat]

Show us the inspector for that object when the error occurs

[polar acorn]

I believe we ran into this somewhat recently, since PlayOneShot is an extension method rather than actually on AudioSource, it gives the "null parameter" error instead of a normal NullReferenceException. Log AudioManager as well

[west sonnet]

It looks like my Audio Manager reference on the right was set to none when I start the game

but in editing mode, It's set as my audio manager

[polar acorn]

Probably because you have code that sets it to null

[ivory bobcat]

Get component in Start needs to be removed

[west sonnet]

I need to remove get component from start?

It worked but now if I shoot, I get this really horrible sound. It's meant to be a gun shot, then a reload sound

[polar acorn]

Does this object have an AudioSource component on it? If not, GetComponent returns null

[west sonnet]

LOUD SOUND WARNING

[polar acorn]

Meaning you set AudioManager to null

[west sonnet]

No, it doesn't

ahh okay

Should I add a script to the AudioManager with GetComponent?

[polar acorn]

Why

[celest citrus]

I am completely new to coding trying to make an FPS and currently completely copying code from yt, but when i go into unity i get an error, does anyone know what i did wrong?

Follow the guide and tell us where you get stuck. Ideally, you wouldn't reinstall but run the launcher and ensure the work loads and whatnot are correct.

Running the installer again will not reinstall but rather modify the current installation

[west sonnet]

Is there a way to freeze the player? I want the player to freeze when dying, right now if the player is moving and dies, the player loses control but keeps moving in the direction they were moving in

[rocky canyon]

disable the scripts that make it move

[west sonnet]

Ooooooh good idea!

[rocky canyon]

if its a rigidbody may have to zero out its velocity and then disable

[bitter tapir]

I installed Cinematic Studio Unity and I can't add a sequence to the project. It just isn't there

[west sonnet]

How would I zero its velocity?

[rocky canyon]

rigidbodyReference.velocity = Vector3.zero;

movementScript.enabled = false;

[west sonnet]

My movement script is called PlayerMovement. I tried doing PlayerMovement.enabled = false , but it didn't work for me. So I'm trying gameObject.GetComponent<PlayerMovement>().enabled= false;

[swift crag]

PlayerMovement is a class.

PlayerMovement.enabled is trying to find a static member of the class named enabled

No such member exists, so you get an error

enabled is stored on specific instances of PlayerMovement

[swift crag]

Which is why this is legal code.

you ask Unity to find a PlayerMovement on your game object

[wintry quarry]

show code

[swift crag]

then you set the enabled field to false

This will cause an error if GetComponent<PlayerMovement>() can't find a PlayerMovement, however.

[west sonnet]

So if I understand correctly, to do PlayerMovement.enabled = false, I'd have to reference it first?

[swift crag]

You'd need to have a reference to a specific PlayerMovement

[edgy fox]

if (ArrayDict.wallList.Count > 0) {
    foreach (GameObject wall in ArrayDict.wallList)//wall holder parent - BlankNSEW - Check if it is within 180deg FOV of camera's rotation and if not don't render
    {
        Renderer wallRen = wall.GetComponent<Renderer>();
        Transform wallGrandParent = wall.transform.parent.transform.parent;
        float angleDiff = Vector3.SignedAngle(wallGrandParent.forward, transform.forward, Vector3.up);
        if (angleDiff > 0)
        {
            wallRen.enabled = false;
        }
        else
        {
            wallRen.enabled = true;
        }
    }
}```

[swift crag]

[SerializeField] PlayerMovement playerMovement; // assign it in the inspector

void Whatever() {
  playerMovement.enabled = false;
}

This is the ideal method.

Drag an object with PlayerMovement on it into the "Player Movement" field in the inspector

This will assign a reference to that specific PlayerMovement component

[west sonnet]

Right

[west sonnet]

Is there any reason why this way would be more ideal than the way I did it?

[swift crag]

starting with the weakest reason: there's a performance benefit

GetComponent has to search the game object for a component of the type you ask for

this isn't trivial because you can ask for parent types

so GetComponent<Component>() will find some component

secondly: it makes your code easier to read

playerMovement.enabled = false; vs. GetComponent<PlayerMovement>().enabled = false

thirdly: it's more flexible. Your PlayerMovement component doesn't have to live on the same game object. you might wind up moving things around later.

I do still use GetComponent whenever I know the component has to live on the same object anyway

but I don't do it that often

and if I do, I do that in Awake, once

[rocky canyon]

yup, like Fen said.. u dont try to disable the Script.. u have to have a reference to that script and disable that

[swift crag]

PlayerMovement.enabled = false; is trying to set a field on the class itself

which would work if enabled was static

but it's not!

[rocky canyon]

PlayerMovement myPlayerMovementReference;
myPlayerMovementReference = GetComponent<PlayerMovement>();
myPlayerMovementReference.enabled = false;

altho if u had public PlayerMovement myPlayerMovementReference; you could just assign it via hte inspector

but still.. dont try to disable the Script, instead disable a reference of an instance of that script

[swift crag]

in case you are unclear about why I used [SerializeField] and spawncamp used public

[rocky canyon]

lots of text we just sent

😄

[swift crag]

serialized fields appear in the inspector.

by default, public fields get serialized, and non-public fields do not

you can use [SerializeField] to tell Unity you want to serialize a non-public field

[rocky canyon]

its b/c im a prototyper and i use publics way way too much

[swift crag]

For anything that's only going to be used by the class itself, private is the ideal access modifier

[west sonnet]

What's the difference between public and [SerializeField] ? I've mostly been using public whenever I want to assign something in the inspector

[swift crag]

It also happens to be the default.

[rocky canyon]

public means u can access it from any script

if u use serialized private.. you can still see in the inspector..

[swift crag]

A public member is visible to every class.

[west sonnet]

but with SerializeField, you cant?

[rocky canyon]

BUT other scripts wont be able to access it

[swift crag]

A private member is only visible to the declaring class.

[west sonnet]

Oooooh

[rocky canyon]

if its a private SerializedField

[swift crag]

(or struct. i forget the proper name for "class or struct")

The type or member can be accessed only by code in the same class or struct

Ah. There is none!

If you're just starting out, don't sweat it too much.

[rocky canyon]

private serialized are good for stuff like you want to do..
you really need a reference to the script ur working in.. but you dont necessarily need it public for everything..

so just drop in teh reference in the inspector.. and u dont need to use any getcomponenet calls or anything

[swift crag]

Access modifiers are nice to get right when you're writing code for just yourself, since it's easier to reason about your code when there are fewer ways for A to mess with B

They're vital if you're writing code that other people use. Once people depend on some non-private member, changing it can break their code.

Note that "other people" includes "you from six months ago"

dear Fen: what the hell were you thinking

[rocky canyon]

i dont associate with my past tense self..

he's usually clueless 😅

[west sonnet]

Wait, but the script that I'm disabling is the same script I'm writing the disable code into, so would I still have to do the same process?

Because I'm not disabling a different script

[rocky canyon]

its fine.. but think about what u want

[swift crag]

Access moddifiers are irrelevant here

[rocky canyon]

if u disable it.. thats it.. its done

no more code from that script is gonna work

[swift crag]

The access modifier on the field affects who can see the field

[rocky canyon]

unless u enable it from another script

[swift crag]

public class Foo {
  [SerializeField] private Bar bar;
}

only Foo can see that bar field

[west sonnet]

That's fine, I'm disabling it when the player dies anyway. Then it gets reenabled when the player respawns

[rocky canyon]

👍

sounds good then

[swift crag]

public class Bar : MonoBehaviour {
  public void Huh(Foo foo) {
    foo.bar = this; // compile error
  }
}

[rocky canyon]

Huh?

[swift crag]

clarifying what the access modifier means

[rocky canyon]

i know.. bad joke. my drumset player wasn't around to do the "badum tiss"

[swift crag]

oh, I thought that might be the case :p

[rocky canyon]

hes fired

okay, imma call today "Progress Monday"

and let it wash across my project.. maybe something productive will happen

I think imma work on my pathfinding stuff.. I want to click and hold on a unit.. then this allows me to draw on the ground.. as I draw waypoints will be generated every X amount of movement..

when i release the waypoints all get added into the navigation setup

THEN idk.. b/c the navmesh agent is gonna ignore the lines i drew

the only thing i can think of to compensate is to add many waypoints... but then the movement will probably look unnatural.

[warm condor]

hey, so I have a problem with the RigidBody2D physics system when I want to slide right when I hit the ground, the horizontal velocity that I am setting isn't very consistent depending on the angle of which I am hitting. Here I drew a picture to show you what I mean:

What I want to to have a consistent speed when sliding and hitting the ground no matter what way the player does it. So how do I fix this?

[stuck palm]

is there a random float generator instead of int?

[swift crag]

Random.Range will produce floats if you give it floats.

[stuck palm]

why isnt this working?

[swift crag]

look at your first error

on the first line in that screenshot

[swift crag]

your method has no body.

now, it might look like it has one

[stuck palm]

OHH

[swift crag]

but there's something at the end of the first line..

[stuck palm]

the semicolon

im blind thanks 😭

[rocky canyon]

someone should start a freelance "second eyes" type service

[swift crag]

It's not a syntax error, but it is semantically bogus here

two of my favorite words, "semantically" and "bogus", right in a row!

[stuck palm]

why would the error not come by the semicolon?

why would it let me do it if it was abstract or extern

[swift crag]

It's valid to write a method without a body in some contexts.

like if the method is abstract

An abstract method can only be declared inside an abstract class.

Any non-abstract class that inherits from the abstract class must override the method.

[stuck palm]

right

awesome, thanks

[swift crag]

In that case, the abstract method must be declared without a body

You also do this inside of an interface

iirc every method in an interface is implicitly abstract

(or something close to that)

That's why the error wasn't on the semicolon. It's not really the semicolon that's wrong here

What's wrong is that your non-abstract method doesn't declare a body

(also, an extern method is one that's actually defined somewhere else. I haven't used that keyword in C# yet)

[celest citrus]

my character is moving without the camera how do i fix it

nvm i fixed it lol

[stuck palm]

why is it still spawning things after one spawns?

[polar acorn]

What does SpawnDelay do

[stuck palm]

spawns a player

patient i mean

[polar acorn]

So, let's work through this line by line.
You start, transform.childCount is presumably 0, and playerSpawned is false.
This means the first if statement occurs and playerSpawned is set to true, and the coroutine is started.
The coroutine reaches a pause.
End of fixed update.

Next fixed update, transform.childCount is still 0, and playerSpawned is true.
This does not satisfy the if condition, so we move to the else block.
playerSpawned is set to false.
End of fixed update.

Next fixed update, transform.childCount is still 0, and playerSpawned is false.
This means the first if statement occurs and playerSpawned is set to true, and the coroutine is started.
The coroutine reaches a pause.
End of fixed update.

Repeat the above blocks until the first coroutine's timer is up, and transform.childCount becomes 1. All other coroutines who have started since then are still running, and will spawn another object

[rocky canyon]

great synopsis

these kinds of bugs are terrible to find on ur own.

[toxic sun]

Guys. I'm don't understand why raycast don't work there. This function calls from above and should return collider of selected object

[rocky canyon]

the only method i know of that helps is using debugging tools and breakpoints to step thru the code

[toxic sun]

but its return null

[rocky canyon]

or just walking thru it like digiholic just did

[toxic sun]

this

[timber tide]

ya need colliders rather wrong raycast type

[wintry quarry]

you're trying to use 2D raycast with a MeshCollider

MeshCollider is a 3D collider

Make sure you only use 2D colliders with 2D physics queries

[rocky canyon]

while we're here.. this override thing doesn't have to be assigned does it? like include layers say Nothing.. but it'll still work like it should w/o having those selected eh?

[toxic sun]

like box collider 2d?

[wintry quarry]

sure that's one of the 2D colliders

any 2D collider

[timber tide]

oh right you're using 3D with 2D raycast

if you're going 3D, yeah wrong raycast

[stuck palm]

thank you, very well explained

[toxic sun]

thanks wm!

[timber tide]

also for spheres/circles you can just use primitive colliders

[rocky canyon]

primitive colliders are cheap.. i try to use em as often as possible..

[honest haven]

Hi my code works, i can pause the player at any moment and the animation pauses and then restarts where it left of. My player also does not move while im attacking. But im a bit unsure if im over complication the code. https://gdl.space/yuvesohuza.cs does it seem a bit hacky?

[rich adder]

as long as its working dorry worry too much, refactoring comes later if at all

[honest haven]

cool thanks just worried about the two returns in the update

[rich adder]

nothing wrong with having return in Update, pretty normal

[honest haven]

cool thanks for your advice

[swift crag]

I occasionally footgun myself with that

it goes like this

• code that always runs
• code that only runs sometimes

I decide an early-return between the two makes sense

Then I forget that I did that and add some more code at the end!

[honest haven]

lol

[swift crag]

e.g. I have a "helpless" flag on entities that get set when they're unable to act; I exited Update early in that case

[honest haven]

yes i can understand why

[swift crag]

then I forgot I did that...

[honest haven]

i just created a bool in my game manager for pause. then i set it in my menu to toggle on and off. then i did the same in another class and wondered why it dont work. its cuz i set it false some where else. So now going to add two functions in my game menu and just add every thing that needs to be paused there and call the meathod instead

[rich adder]

could make an Interface for each object that needs to like pause, then listen for event

IPausable or something

[honest haven]

ohhh dont no about listen events is that easy to set up

[rich adder]

events are quite powerful and pretty easy to get into imo

https://learn.unity.com/tutorial/events-uh
edit: this one good too
https://gamedevbeginner.com/events-and-delegates-in-unity/

[honest haven]

thanks ill take a look

[rocky canyon]

Unity Events are awesome..

if(condition) -> InvokeEvent

then u can pretty much do anything within the event

[honest haven]

yh think ill do that route

[rich adder]

def eleminites a lot of polling for stuff in Update

[rocky canyon]

i wrote my own event system..
uses an Action class
i drop it on my gameobject and its set up to do different functions
like trigger it when the gameobject spawns in, or an option for a delay, or mouse click

just some generic stuff.. then i have others with a list of actions and i can just stack em in there.. and it'll loop thru the actions invoking them 👍 pretty neat setup

[honest haven]

That sounds amazing.

Does it end up making you think what else can i add to it, when it prob doesnt need it

[rocky canyon]

public class Action : MonoBehaviour
{
    [Tooltip("Uses Start Method When False")]
    public bool onEnable;
    public UnityEvent ActionEvent;

    private void Start()
    {
        if(!onEnable)
        {
            ActionEvent.Invoke();
        }
    }

    private void OnEnable()
    {
        if(onEnable)
        {
            ActionEvent.Invoke();
        }
    }
}

lol.. yea i have that problem anyway

[honest haven]

lol think ill end up doing that too

[rocky canyon]

i have trouble knowing when enough is enough

its so easy to fixate on a certain system or mechanic and build it more elaborate than u actually need

i usually just package it up at that point.. and have a package i can pull in and modify the things i dont need

[honest haven]

Yh so i was also fixated on statemachine and i ended up adding to somthing that prob dont need it. i saw i had it on my player and thought why not. Think thats when things get over complicated

[rocky canyon]

ya, nothing wrong with it tho.. if ur a beginner and you're learning its great to experiment

[honest haven]

yh thats it

[rocky canyon]

even if u dont end up using it, atleast u went thru it, learned some stuff and exposed urself to new things

[honest haven]

100%

thanks for sharing

[rocky canyon]

np, lol see i dont even use it

i just have it

[honest haven]

lol

[rocky canyon]

its actually a material change if i remember ur issue correctly

Some sort of renderer . material = new material

go ahead and share ur script ^

ChangeTexture or ChangeMaterial which is more likely what u want... are not built in functions or anything.. ud have to create the method and then call it

I want a function that will output a bool if my camera is in front or if it is behind the wall - I've been messing around with Vector3.SignedAngles for a few hours but either my math is terrible or it's the wrong way of approaching the problem

and I'm pretty sure wallGrandParent.forward is the wrong variable to be using because all walls output the same thing for it regardless of their rotation

[cosmic dagger]

You should make one (a separate class) for trigger and collision events. Much easier than having the same events in multiple classes . . .

[edgy fox]

(all 4 walls being logged there are facing a different cardinal direction)

I have found that when I do Vector3.SignedAngles(wallGrandParent.forward, transform.forward, Vector3.up, I do get an angle but then all walls read the exact same angle offset from the camera

[rocky canyon]

thanks, its still a WIP, thats a good addition 👍

[wintry quarry]

Click on the walls in the scene

look at the blue arrow in the scene view

which way is it facing

if they;re all facing the same way this is entirely the wrong approach

(make sure tool handle rotation is set to local)

[cosmic dagger]

I have an example. I will share when I get home . . .

[edgy fox]

there are no arrows

nvm they're facing up

[wintry quarry]

Wdym

[edgy fox]

I was in game view

[wintry quarry]

yes they're facing up which matches this log

The blue arrow is transform.forward

[edgy fox]

ah, green is facing inwards which is up, would wallGrandParent.up work?

[wintry quarry]

try it

yes green is the up arrow

[edgy fox]

it's still reading 90 degrees

[wintry quarry]

what is

what does your code look like

[edgy fox]

nvm reassigned it later

[queen adder]

public class test : MonoBehaviour
{
    private Vector3 lastPosition;
    private Material mat;
    private Material mat2;

    void Start()
    {
        lastPosition = transform.position;
    }

    void Update()
    {
        // Get the current position
        Vector3 currentPosition = transform.position;

        // Check if the position has changed
        if (currentPosition != lastPosition)
        {
            // Object is moving, change texture to movingMaterial
            mat = new Material(imagen1);
        }
        else
        {
            // Object is not moving, change texture to idleMaterial
            mat2 = new Material(imagen2);
        }

        // Update lastPosition for the next frame
        lastPosition = currentPosition;

not if I'm doing it right

[edgy fox]

it's randomly switching from (-) to (+) when passing in front

[rocky canyon]

that'd be cool, thanks

[edgy fox]

foreach (GameObject wall in ArrayDict.wallList)//wall holder parent - BlankNSEW - Check if it is within 180deg FOV of camera's rotation and if not don't render
{
    Renderer wallRen = wall.GetComponent<Renderer>();
    Transform wallGrandParent = wall.transform.parent.transform.parent;
    float angleDiff = Vector3.SignedAngle(wallGrandParent.up, transform.forward, Vector3.up);
    Debug.Log($"{wallGrandParent.up}, {transform.forward}, {angleDiff}, {Vector3.up}");
    if (angleDiff > 0)
    {
        wallRen.enabled = false;
    }
    else
    {
        wallRen.enabled = true;
    }
}```

[rocky canyon]

// Object is moving, change texture to movingMaterial
mat = new Material(imagen1);
what is this? theres nothing in your code called imagen1

and besides that.. i thought you wanted to change the texture/material of something.. in ur code ur just setting materials. you're not using them anywhere

why not build ur materials like u need them.. and just swap the entire material?

[edgy fox]

offset it by -90 degrees - it works!

I love Quaternion.AngleAxis

[queen adder]

It wasn't to select the texture in the textures folder, right?
sorry it was my mistake
then i should delete image1 and image2

[polar acorn]

I think first thing's first you should probably check the intro to C# guide in the pins and learn how code works. You can't just use a variable or function that doesn't exist, you have to define it

[rocky canyon]

i think the easiest solution for yours is to just make the materials you need w/ the textures already assigned

instead of trying to copy the material, set the texture, re-assign it, etc

public class MaterialChanger : MonoBehaviour
{
    [SerializeField] private Material idleMaterial; // assigned in my inspector
    [SerializeField] private Material movingMaterial; // same

    [SerializeField] private MeshRenderer thisRenderer; // assigned in my inspector
    public bool flipMaterial; // public bool for testing

    void Update()
    {
        if(flipMaterial)
        {
            thisRenderer.material = idleMaterial;
        }
        else
        {
            thisRenderer.material = movingMaterial;
        }
    }
}
``` Sample Script, The MeshRenderer is assigned b/c thats what Renderers the material *on* the cube..
all I'm doing here is swapping the material it uses with the test boolean

same kind of thing can be done with every kind of renderer

[ivory bobcat]

The ternary alternative would becs thisRenderer.material = flipMaterial ? idleMaterial : movingMaterial;

[rose galleon]

where did I go wrong? I created a gameObject called Sword and assigned my inactive gameObject onto it, and made this:
void Attack()
{
if (Input.GetButtonDown("Fire3"))
{
Sword.SetActive(true);
}
}
But when I press leftshift it isnt activating

[queen adder]

oh... sorry, it was all a misunderstanding.
I am looking for a solution is when I move an image on the screen but the texture changes when the image moves and when I stop moving the normal texture returns 😓

[rose galleon]

attack is called in update, and yes, left shift is assigned

[polar acorn]

Show the full script

[queen adder]

Anyway, I appreciate that you know something but I will try to continue looking for the method

[edgy fox]

how do I change size via code?

[polar acorn]

Lies

[ivory bobcat]

You aren't calling attack anywhere

[rocky canyon]

what kind of Renderer are you using?

[polar acorn]

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Camera-orthographicSize.html

[rocky canyon]

i understand what ur trying to do .. but the same thing applies to textures..

 [SerializeField] private Texture grassTexture; // assigned in my inspector
 [SerializeField] private Texture dirtTexture; // same

 [SerializeField] private MeshRenderer thisRenderer; // assigned in my inspector
 public bool flipMaterial; // public bool for testing

 void Update()
 {
     if(flipMaterial)
     {
         Material materialCopy = thisRenderer.material;
         materialCopy.mainTexture = grassTexture;
         thisRenderer.material = materialCopy;
     }
     else
     {
         Material materialCopy = thisRenderer.material;
         materialCopy.mainTexture = dirtTexture;
         thisRenderer.material = materialCopy;
     }
 }```

like here, you have to copy the material, Change its texture, and then use the COPY

[edgy fox]

ah orthographicSize

thanks

[rose galleon]

im so stupid

[rocky canyon]

same mechanic, changing textures instead of the material

it just matters what kind of renderer you're using and how the texture works w/ that renderer

[queen adder]

I use with UI/Image, Unity 3d

[rocky canyon]

thats even simpler then.. you just have to access the Image component and change the sprite

image doesn't use a texture

well it does use a TextureImage

[queen adder]

hmm, ok!

[rocky canyon]

not sure exactly how to do it with the Image component lol

i'll have to look it up

[rose galleon]

it is working now, I was just stupid, but another question.
The sword gameObject is a child object of the player object, and I made it so everytime the player touches the wall he goes back a scene, metroidvania style. However, the sword hitbox is triggering that, how do I stop it from doing that?

[queen adder]

Don't worry, if you don't get it, nothing happens 😅

[ivory bobcat]

Do you want the sword GameObject to not be able to trigger the change of scene?

[rose galleon]

yeah(there is the lowercase and caps version and I always make this confuision)

[night mural]

i think it's .sprite

[ivory bobcat]

Either you can user the layer matrix to make them not interactable https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/LayerBasedCollision.html

[summer pulsar]

is there something wrong with my code ? i dont get why is it not working ?

[polar acorn]

You have a function in your function

[night mural]

what does it say when you mouseover the squiggly line stuff telling you that you might have problems?

[summer pulsar]

oncollisionenter or collision collision ?

[ivory bobcat]

Possible through code as well: https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Physics.IgnoreLayerCollision.html
Or make the individual colliders ignore each other: https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Physics.IgnoreCollision.html

[summer pulsar]

could you please elaborate

[polar acorn]

You have a function inside of another function

[night mural]

try both!

they're there to help guide you

[ivory bobcat]

void Update()
    ...
void OnCollisionEnter()
    ...```

Don't put the method inside the other method.

[rocky canyon]

you just have to assign the sprites.
```cs
[SerializeField] private Image thisImageComponent;

[SerializeField] private Sprite sprite1;
[SerializeField] private Sprite sprite2;

public bool changeSprite;

void Update()
{
    if(changeSprite)
    {
        thisImageComponent.sprite = sprite1;
    }
    else
    {
        thisImageComponent.sprite = sprite2;
    }
}```

[queen adder]

wow

[rocky canyon]

yea, it also has a .mainTexture which confused me for a bit

but if its an Image component you're probably most likely using sprites

[stuck palm]

why doesnt this work? i switched it from if component != null to if trygetcomponent and it doesnt work now

[rose galleon]

i used this one but still nothing

[rocky canyon]

those dont go inside the update loop

[ivory bobcat]

#💻┃code-beginner message

[rocky canyon]

new functions go outside the update or any other loop

[summer pulsar]

like this ?

[rocky canyon]

wait its a collision

like this

[ivory bobcat]

All those red curly braces

[polar acorn]

You have a function in your function

[summer pulsar]

oh yeah i got it thank you just look at the new ss if you may

[queen adder]

In the first code it tells me that there is no private -> image but I have created a component and it does not work, what could it be?

[summer pulsar]

an add on

[rocky canyon]

you have to assign it..

you just told the code there is an image component

you never told it which one it is

[summer pulsar]

ah

[summer pulsar]

thank you very much for your help and patience SPG

[rocky canyon]

if its on teh same gameobject as the image component you can assign it in code,
like in the Awake() or Start() method..

thisImageComponent = GetComponent<Image>();

but since we used SerializedField (it exposes it in the inspector) so u can just drag it in

[stuck palm]

Does try get component not work for this?

[rocky canyon]

if it were private.. (and you couldnt see it in the inspector) you'd have to assign it in code

the code within the tryget will only run if it successfully gets the component ur trying to get

[deft siren]

the AI isnt working and its giving me these errors but in the code theres none and the enemy has a nav

[polar acorn]

Looks like it's not being called on an Active Agent that has been placed on a NavMesh

[rocky canyon]

either:

• the component doesn't exist
• you're looking in the wrong place

[deft siren]

wdym?

[rocky canyon]

ur agent isn't on the navmesh

or just isnt

lol

[polar acorn]

I mean the thing this code is running on either:
A) Is not an Active Agent
B) Is not on a NavMesh

[deft siren]

the code is on mazeDog

as well as the mesh

[swift crag]

why is the navmesh surface on the dog?

[polar acorn]

Okay, is mazeDog an active agent that has been placed on a NavMesh

[deft siren]

and it gets called right here on the code

[deft siren]

it isnt

[swift crag]

then what does this mean?

[deft siren]

i mean the navmash lol

[queen adder]

The type or namespace name 'Image' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?

I'm going to review little by little although I don't speak English very well and I use a translator 😖

[swift crag]

yes, I understand that you meant the navmesh

but having the navmesh on the mazeDog makes no sense

[deft siren]

why's that?

[swift crag]

did you read the documentation for what you're using at all

[polar acorn]

How is the dog going to navigate on itself

[deft siren]

i think we have a misunderstanding

[deft siren]

the mash and the dog

[swift crag]

Okay. The navmesh is not on the dog.

[polar acorn]

Yeah probably. You've given two directly contradictory statements as to whether the NavMesh is on this object or not

[swift crag]

You kept saying the navmesh was on the dog.

[rocky canyon]

you have to add the .UI using statement to be able to access the UI stuff in script

[ivory bobcat]

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

[deft siren]

OMG IM SRRY I MEANT THE AGENT :((

well yet u guys know whats happening??

he simply doenst move

[queen adder]

I was just going to do that, lol

[deft siren]

the code gives it a destination but still

[rocky canyon]

did you setup the NavMesh as well?

[swift crag]

It looks like there's a valid NavMeshSurface in this screenshot.

[deft siren]

like baking the area?

[polar acorn]

Is the agent actually on the navmesh? And not hovering above it?

[deft siren]

yeah

[eternal needle]

are the dog and the surface for the same agent type?

[polar acorn]

And are you sure you're referencing a NavMeshAgent in the scene and not a prefab?

[deft siren]

shoot this could be it

[eternal needle]

agents will try to automatically place themself on the navmesh, i dont think this would be the case

[rocky canyon]

unless its realy far away

[polar acorn]

Unless a collider or some code is keeping it off the mesh

[deft siren]

it wasnt

[eternal needle]

🤔 interesting

[deft siren]

no reason to believe that

[polar acorn]

As in "it wasn't the issue" or "it wasn't on the navmesh"

[deft siren]

the issue

[rocky canyon]

we can't assume much in here.. theres some crazy things people do

have to ask all the questions sometimes

[ivory bobcat]

Was the error resolved?

[rocky canyon]

screenshot the agent and its inspector

and screenshot the navmesh and its inspector

[polar acorn]

Okay, so next is to make sure the agent you're referencing is the one you think you're referencing. While the game is running, check the object giving errors and click on the reference to the agent, does it highlight an object in the scene?

[vernal minnow]

how do i get an object to rotate without changing its x or y position?

[ivory bobcat]

Rotation shouldn't have an effect on position

[polar acorn]

Rotating an object doesn't do that in the first place, so, just rotate it

[ivory bobcat]

Maybe you've got some other things you ought to share with us

[vernal minnow]

i currently have a player that uses tank controls and he either rotates across his front, or rotates just slightly off enough to be anoying

[swift crag]

sounds like your origin is bad

[rocky canyon]

yup, may need to fix up the origin, if its a model u can change it in a 3d software

[queen adder]

Wow, it works perfectly, now I will try the motion detector when I keep the image moving. I don't know if that code was "lastposition" 😁

[swift crag]

If my player model is that cube, rotating the player will make the cube move around

[rocky canyon]

a bandaid fix is to use an empty container and position the tank where the center should be and rotate that instead

[swift crag]

(this cube is parented to an empty object)

[vernal minnow]

i honestly agree there bc the closest i could get to a fix with origin was left center causing the slight position change

[vernal minnow]

i tried that but the objects kept separating

[deft siren]

thats the thing the error says the command on the code can only be called on a agent in a navMash

[rocky canyon]

if its physics based it probably would.. ya

[deft siren]

wich by all means seems to be what mine is

[rocky canyon]

but if u use an empty container u move all ur rigidbody and stuff to the empty

[swift crag]

okay, but did you do what digi asked you to do?

click on the error. see what object gets highlighted in the hierarchy.

[vernal minnow]

Im honestly not quite certain how to do it such that they wont separate when the empty objects collider hits another object

[deft siren]

none, it opens the code

[swift crag]

click once.

[polar acorn]

We have confirmed you have a navmesh agent that is on a navmesh surface. We have not confirmed if that is the one your script is referencing.

[rocky canyon]

https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/utilities/adjust-pivot-112883

[deft siren]

nothing

[deft siren]

it does, wait a sec

[vernal minnow]

will this work for a 2d game?

[queen adder]

I have another question, so if I use with (lastposition) to detect motion and change the texture, is there something wrong with that system?

[deft siren]

the model is exported from blender, could i have exported it wrong or smth??

all objects work as objects so i dont think thats it

[polar acorn]

Okay, and if you click on that object assigned to Ai while the game is running, does it highlight the one you think it is?

[swift crag]

hmm, it looks like that error doesn't include context

[ivory bobcat]

That doesn't seem to be related to your problem

[swift crag]

I triggered it and the console didn't take me anywhere

[deft siren]

yep

[ivory bobcat]

I think Digi suggested selecting the object and checking the referenced field.

[swift crag]

Ah, you are right. My bad.

[deft siren]

the thing is i had the same code on a different monster and it worked just fine (the monster is disabled so it couldnt be interferring)

[rocky canyon]

if its a 2d game its using sprites.. im pretty sure unity can set the pivot of sprites w/o any special assets

[polar acorn]

On the line before one of the ones throwing the error, add this line:

Debug.Log($"{gameObject.name}'s ai agent is: {ai.gameObject.name}", this);

This will have the names in the log, and will highlight an object when you click on it (single click), since the error does not.

[vernal minnow]

yeah, the closest setting still doesnt work

[rocky canyon]

every frame that goes by you check ur last position first..
then you check your current position.. (if these match you're not moving) (if they don't match you have moved, so you are moving)
then after all that you set the last position to be this new position where you are now..
that way when you go to the next frame it has the lastPosition ready for you to compare again

[deft siren]

😭

[polar acorn]

Okay, when you click on it, does it highlight the one in the scene we've been looking at?

[deft siren]

yes

[polar acorn]

Hm... so it seems like this is the correct object, and it seems to be on a NavMesh...

[nocturne parcel]

Are static variables allowed to be serialized to JSON?

[vernal minnow]

transform.eulerAngles = new(0f, 0f, transform.eulerAngles.z + (Input.GetAxis("Horizontal") * speed2 * Time.deltaTime * -10)); just to check, there isnt anything wrong with the actual rotation code right?

[polar acorn]

If you clear the console while the game is running, do the errors come back? Or are they one-and-done?

[deft siren]

they are repeating over and over

cause the code is trying to move it

[ivory bobcat]

This would imply that the script is on the maze dog object but what about the reference?

[queen adder]

I'm going to try it and if not, nothing happens although I would like to know in the future.👍

[polar acorn]

Yeah, I just wanted to see if the issue might have been that it didn't start on the mesh but then moved onto it after the game started

[polar acorn]

We checked that one earlier, it checks out

[ivory bobcat]

Maybe have it highlight the ai instead

[polar acorn]

I guess it doesn't hurt to try.
@deft siren , in the log I had you add, replace the ,this at the end with ,ai and then click the log as before.

[queen adder]

Let's see if it is possible to detect it .detectCollisions

[queen adder]

wow

[eternal needle]

did you check this as well? #💻┃code-beginner message

[deft siren]

checks out as well

[deft siren]

no

gimme a minute

[queen adder]

it helps me a lot 😄

[rocky canyon]

i try to test everything that i help people with, so i know for sure it works

[deft siren]

yeah i dont thing i got what u want me to do

[queen adder]

Wow, you are an amazing person who helps people a lot, keep it up and don't give up😄

[eternal needle]

show the inspector for the surface and for the agent

[queen adder]

So what exactly is the code to detect when it moves?😮

[deft siren]

one of the surfaces

dog

[eternal needle]

the surface isnt here

[queen adder]

But I have a question, is it possible with the image?
I have an image that moves

[rocky canyon]

it has a transform doesn't it?

[deft siren]

what would the surface be then

i guessed you meant the floor

[eternal needle]

a nav mesh surface

[deft siren]

like this?

[queen adder]

yes

[thorn holly]

So I have a game with essentially a ton of very small events in which different things have to happen. Delegates would work well for these events, but aren’t really necessary. I can do individual work around for each one, but they would be pretty random and inconsistent case to case. Is using a ton of delegates better for consistency or should I do the smaller workarounds? I know someone mentioned that delegates create garbage and orphaned subscriptions. What’s an orphaned subscription and what can I do about it?

I asked something similar to this yesterday but I had to go before I could finish asking all my questions

[deft siren]

@eternal needle

[eternal needle]

this

[rocky canyon]

if the transform.position is different on this frame, then it was on the last frame -> you have moved (are moving)
if the transform.position is the same on this frame as it was last frame, then -> you are not moving

• In the script's Start method, create a variable to store the previous position. This variable will be used to compare with the current position in each frame.
  _previousPosition = transform.position; (a vector3) or (vector2 for 2d)
• In the Update method, compare the current position with the previous position to check if the object has moved.
  if(transform.position == _previousPosition){// you havent moved}else{// you have moved};
• set the new position as the previousPosition, so when the new frame happens it can compare again
  _previousPosition = transform.position;

[deft siren]

i dont have anything like this

but the other monster still worked

[eternal needle]

you have a surface, as shown by the blue floor thing here. Unless that is your actual floor.
But i suspect you never made one for the dog so it has no surface to walk on

you need to bake a surface for each agent type

[deft siren]

i strongly believe i already did that

[eternal needle]

You said you dont have any nav mesh surfaces, so i doubt you have

show me the surface then

[thorn holly]

My thinking is that small delegates would be easier when adding things in the future, and would remove the risk of the workarounds not working when I add the new things

[deft siren]

still none

[vernal minnow]

I'm not sure how noticeable it is in the pictures but the camera movement when rotating is the current issue that im having 😅

[deft siren]

i baked it again to make sure and none was created

on any surface

[eternal needle]

i dont get how you claim you baked a surface for each agent type but you dont have a nav mesh surface. just make a nav mesh surface and this should be done then

[deft siren]

its not something (i have a slightly older version but dont think thats it)

[eternal needle]

hm your navigation tab also does look quite different to mine, i dont have the Bake and Object tag 🤔 am i behind

[queen adder]

Oka, I'll try to see how I get it, by the way I don't think I can ask for more help since it's a lot, although I'm still learning thanks to you for teaching me🥲

[rocky canyon]

then you should bake it like the old version..

Open up Window > AI > Navigation

[eternal needle]

oh, that would explain the difference there. I didnt use navmesh for that version

[rocky canyon]

on ur surface mark it as Static and then in the Navigation window you just opened Bake it

[deft siren]

yeah thats the thing i already did that

[rocky canyon]

with the navigation window open it should show the big blue mesh

[deft siren]

yeah its all just like that

[rocky canyon]

🤔 interesting

[deft siren]

it was even moving a long time before but still with a shit ton of bugs

i really dont get why thats happening cause the old monster still works just fine 😭

ok so i figured something rlly interesting

changed back to the old agent type, humanoid

now its moving but all buggy like i said

gonna try to unbug this

[thorn holly]

Seems like this got lost

[rocky canyon]

i cant answer some of that but i do know what orphaned subscriptions are..
so you know how u subscribe to something? and then when that something happens the thing knows about it?
well you are supposed to unsubscribe to that thing if u disabled/destroyed the component or w/e
the orphaned thing means you destroyed the thing without unsubscribing..

not sure what happens after that.. like when the event fires off..

Here are some potential issues:

Null Reference Exception:
If the event is fired after the object has been destroyed, attempting to invoke the event on a null reference (destroyed object) will result in a NullReferenceException.

Memory Leak:
The destroyed object, along with its associated event handler, will not be garbage collected as long as the delegate still holds a reference to it. This can lead to a memory leak.

To avoid these issues, it's good practice to always unsubscribe from events when the object is being destroyed. You can do this in the object's OnDestroy method or in a method explicitly designed for cleanup.``` this is what Chatgpt says about it.

[deft siren]

ok this one not much of a problem but, the dog is walking backwards, how do i make the navmesh know where the front is at

[rocky canyon]

rotate the graphics so it facing the right direction

ur graphics shouldn't be linked to ur main object anyway

[deft siren]

what graphics?

sorry if its dumb questions, im gonna start studying soon :(

[rocky canyon]

the dog is walking backwards

how do u know its backwards?

probably because the graphics look backwards.. thats the (graphics) im talkin about..

they should be a child of the navmesh.. u should be able to rotate them a full 180 degree's to make the dogs face, his butt

[deft siren]

like, the objects?

[rocky canyon]

and his butt, become his face

[deft siren]

yeah i tried doing this

it... still walks backwards

[rocky canyon]

rotating the graphics wont make the navmesh walk the wrong way

how?!

[deft siren]

i have no ideia

i tried rotating the navMash but then the model got all woogly

[rocky canyon]

rotating the graphics shouldnt change the way the navmesh walks..

the Purple is the Z axis (forward) its the Pawn (the navmesh) fowards direction

doesnt matter how i rotate the graphics.. the forward direction is still the same direction..

the graphics can be upside down, right way up, or spinning in circles.. the navmesh will still walk towards the Z axis

[late bobcat]

Hey there guys, i just joined this discord and wanted to ask a question about adding a score to my game in C#

[rocky canyon]

ya, u dont rotate the navmesh, u rotate the graphics..

• Navmesh
  • Graphics

[late bobcat]

That's the code

[deft siren]

yeah i tried both

for the sake of it

[rose galleon]

hey, so, how do I keep a button pressed even when the player changes screens?

[late bobcat]

I wanted to make it with a flag. When object collides with player it augments score by one

[edgy fox]

I just modified my script for an orthographic camera view and now it is as if I have a really far away near clipping plane

what would cause this?

[rocky canyon]

ur near clipping plane..

sometimes its just a bug.. click an object and press F to focus on it.

but since thats in the gameview its probably just the clipping plane

[rose galleon]

public float score

void onCollisionEnter2D(Collision2D collision)
{
  if(collision.gameObject.tag == "Player")
  {
    score += 1;
  }
}

Good? just a shot in the dark here

[rocky canyon]

nope

[edgy fox]

even if I set near clipping plane to 0 it still gets clipped

[rose galleon]

ofc, adapt score and player to how you want to call them

[rocky canyon]

wont run.. ur function is wrong

[rose galleon]

;-;

[late bobcat]

I'll try

[ivory bobcat]

Score won't persist between different instances.

[rose galleon]

little lowercase mistake

[late bobcat]

what you mean? sorry i'm kinda new to c#

[rose galleon]

yeah screw this im a noob, ill let the pros help ya

[polar acorn]

Every object that has this script on it is a different instance of this script. Each one has their own score

[ivory bobcat]

If anything, you could update score in the Spawn function

[late bobcat]

ahah dw, i appriciated it anyway

[edgy fox]

and what gets clipped doesn't get affected by whether I zoom in or out

[late bobcat]

Oh right i see. Should i make a script "score" and attach it to every object? Or there's an easier way to do that

[ivory bobcat]

var next = Instantiate(...);
next.score = score;
next.collided = collided;```

[polar acorn]

That would still be each object with their own score variable

[late bobcat]

right x)

[polar acorn]

You should decide which one object should "own" the score, and have the other objects tell that script to update its score

[rose galleon]

Example: A metroidvania style screen transition, walking through the border of the room and going to the next scene. how do i make it still be walking when in the next scene?

[rocky canyon]

this one guy used a -20

not sure i'd do that

[edgy fox]

ah negative clip planes

[rocky canyon]

but id def try moving the camera arounda bit

[edgy fox]

didn't know that was possilbe but makes sense

[rocky canyon]

lol ya, first time ive seen it too

[polar acorn]

If a negative clip plane fixes it then your camera is too close and you need to scooch it back

[late bobcat]

I wanted to make it much easier as of now. I just wanted to print the score over the console, so i do not need instantiate right?

[edgy fox]

negative clip plane was not the solution,,, I did the Ultimate Doom oob glitch

[clever thicket]

Hey everyone, I'm trying to do different states wether my player is walking when jumping or idle, but can't seem to find a way to calculate the x and y velocity at the same time using else if, does anyone have any way to enlighten me on this?

[ivory bobcat]

That was your Instantiate code from the Spawn function

[rocky canyon]

well dang, u decided to use -5000?!

[edgy fox]

and camera is 150 units away from objects that are clipping... moving it back didn't help

and in fact the farther away I move it the more clipping there is

[warm depot]

hello, how do I create a prefab asset with a script?

[ivory bobcat]

I was suggesting you update the next instances' values

[late bobcat]

Oh i see

[rocky canyon]

ur camera is just wigging out.. ur values are probably really odd lol

[eternal needle]

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/language-reference/operators/boolean-logical-operators#conditional-logical-and-operator-

[polar acorn]

if takes in a single boolean. If you want to check multiple things in one you'll need to use some logical operators
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/language-reference/operators/boolean-logical-operators

[rocky canyon]

just create a new camera and adjust it from a fresh start

[clever thicket]

thanks!!

[polar acorn]

There's the PrefabUtility class, but be warned that it only works in editor, and cannot be used in a build:
https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/PrefabUtility.html

[edgy fox]

its as if whenever I zoom out the screen doesn't grow

[warm depot]

ah I probably asked the wrong question but i found the instantiate thingy

[polar acorn]

how are you zooming out

[eternal needle]

that would be creating an instance of the prefab, but yes you use instantiate

[edgy fox]

increasing orthographicSize

(is that bad?)

[polar acorn]

Okay yeah that's the way to do that

Just wanted to make sure you weren't trying to zoom a 2D camera by moving it in or out

[rocky canyon]

🎉

[edgy fox]

what really gets me is that zooming in keeps the same area clipped

this is only really an issue when zoomed out

[rocky canyon]

search up google..

u got enough information to probably find some solutions

[edgy fox]

yeah I've googled a bunch but I'm pretty unknowledgable on cameras and my google searches haven't returned much

will keep trying though

[rocky canyon]

give me ur ground size and ur camera transform and ill see if i get the same issue

[buoyant knot]

is there an event function for when you save an SO? like OnValidate(), but for when you save it?

[timber tide]

what do you mean by save

serializing a value?

[summer pulsar]

i have a ball that follows box and should be destroyed when it touches the square

[north kiln]

1. Use CompareTag
2. https://unity.huh.how/physics-messages

Anyone know of a way to access objects in a newly additvely async loaded scene before the contents of the scene do oneanble/awake?

I was looking at AsyncOperation.allowSceneActivation but that doesn't give me access to the "preloaded" scene right
