awesome! glad to hear its working

[shell herald]

idk what im doing wrong, but im getting a positive hit even though there cant possibly be anything between the player position and the posChange transform

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

[polar acorn]

Have you tried logging the object you hit instead of just saying that it's not null?

Also, why are you using a position as a direction for your raycast?

[shell herald]

because i tried using Vector2.right and Vector2.left and it didnt make a difference so i just tried to do that, which also didnt work

[polar acorn]

Those would make sense, since they're directions

A position is not a direction, and treating it as such is going to give you odd behavior

Imagine drawing a line from 0,0,0 to the position of poschange, then grabbing that whole line and scooching it so the start point is on top of player. That's what you're checking

That doesn't really make a lot of sense

[shell herald]

how would i be able to get a direction between those 2 points then?

[ionic zephyr]

hey guys, I wanna add a cooldown for an attack in my game, should I use delta.Time, a corroutine?? any ideas?

[polar acorn]

Actually that thumbnail is pretty much all you need honestly

[languid spire]

omg a video just to say
direction = target - origin

[polar acorn]

Like I said, the thumbnail basically covers it

[shell herald]

i just debug logged the tag of the collider, turns out, the raycast collides with the player its a child of. so i guess instead of "if (hit.collider != null)" i do "if(hit.collider != hit.collider.CompareTag("player") || hit.collider != null )" ?

[polar acorn]

Probably, but also it'd help to make sure your Raycast is going the right direction

[languid spire]

best check null first

[polar acorn]

Also that

[solemn summit]

Also probably use a LayerMask so you aren't just hitting yourself

[timber tide]

that's the fun part

Hi i get this error whenever my character gets close to the item so gets in contact with the collider the boll registeres and the debug message "Player in range" shows correctly but the another message player not in range shows all the time how can i fix it? if you want some more info let me know heres the code: https://gdl.space/getikunicu.cs thirdpersonmovement is my script so it registeres whenever a gameobject with that script collides

[trim gulch]

Hello, I'm quite new and I'm having a bit of a problem. I'm making a Top-down 2D game, however I have this problem where my movement is not constant, and sometimes the character accelerates more or goes slower than it should

[polar acorn]

So, if the overlap strikes any object that does not have a ThirdPersonMovement component, you want to run that second block of code?

[languid spire]

obviously you are getting multiple results, some have the controller some dont

[summer stump]

Either work. DeltaTime may be slightly more simple if you aren't used to coroutines

[ionic zephyr]

okay, thanks

[polar acorn]

Why are you multiplying your input by speed twice

[keen hill]

oh so it registers ground for example?

should i compare the tag? maybe

so if it collides with something that has the tag only?

how can i fix it easly

[trim gulch]

Didn't notice

[polar acorn]

You're looping through all objects the sphere overlaps with, then checking if each of those objects has the ThirdPersonMovement component on it or not. That doesn't seem like what you want to do, so what is it you're actually trying to check for

[keen hill]

im trying to check if the player ONLY is in the radius so then i can enable the item name and image

im trying to get it to work so i can advance later

[polar acorn]

So you should probably do a CheckSphere instead of an overlap, and use a layermask so the only thing it looks for is the player

[shell herald]

does a layermask ignore that specific layer or only focus on it? and if its the latter, can i use more than one layermask on a raycasthit2d?

[polar acorn]

A layermask shows which layers are permitted. There is no reason to need to use more than one layer mask just put more layers in the mask

[buoyant knot]

why are you checking
if thing
else if not thing

just use if else

[keen hill]

oh yeah had no clue there even is something like a check sphere ima try that and let you know if it works

[buoyant knot]

also, you really don’t want to do this in Update()

[static bay]

no else
only guard clause 😠

[buoyant knot]

he wants a debug log to know the first if evaluated false

either way, this should be handled by OnTriggerEnter

also no if statements are actually needed in his code at all

[keen hill]

i tried to work with on trigger enter but i was struggling a lil

so i just decided to go the hard way

but code it myself

to learn stuff

[drowsy basin]

I can't find a way to make it work Why?

[polar acorn]

Do you get an error in unity or just in the IDE

[short hazel]

Seeing the lack of syntax highlighting on the right file, seems like Unity hasn't registered that the class is there

Moving the file somewhere else and back in Unity usually solves it

[drowsy basin]

just in the IDE

[polar acorn]

Then you probably need to regenerate project files

[buoyant knot]

yeah, but you are checking a physics query many times every frame, which is very expensive. OnTriggerEnter only gets called on the one frame where the trigger happens

what you are doing is probably easily 100x more expensive

[drowsy basin]

Thanks

[keen hill]

how can i get it to work with the on trigger enter function then?

couse it would've been 100x times easier too

i could use on trigger exit after

to disable the ui

[buoyant knot]

just define OnTriggerEnter

and use the argument, which is a collider

[ionic zephyr]

Do you guys know any way to check if an animation has finished? (I want to uncheck the characterMovement while animation is playing)

[shell herald]

updated my code to this. it now detects the hits properly, however the hit.transform.position is not where i d expect it to . instead of setting the position to be right before the collider, it is miles away

[hexed granite]

good evening I need help please I tried to make a script to make movements for a 2d rpg game but I can't correct myself and I would like to know if someone could correct me which is what don't go please

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

public class player : MonoBehaviour
{
    // Start is called before the first frame update
    void Start()
    { public float moveSpeed;
   
    private bool isMoving;

    private Vector2 input;

    private void Uptade().
    {
        if (!isMoving)
        {
            input.x = Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal");
            input.y = Input.GetAxisRaw("vertical");

            if (input != Vector2.zero)
            {
                var targetPos = transform.positition;
                targetPos.x += input.x;
                targetPos.y += input.y;
        StartCoroutine(Move(targetPos));
            }

        }
    }
}

    IEnumerator Move(Vector3 targetPos)
    {
        isMoving = true;

        while (targetPos - transform.position).sqrMagnitude > Mathf.Epsilon)
            {
                transform.position = Vector3.MoveTowards(transform.position, targetPos, moveSpeed * Time.deltaTime);
                yield return null;
            }
        transform.position = targetPos;

        IsMoving = false;
    }

[rich adder]

why not use an Animation Event

your method is outside the class

[short hazel]

I see some syntax errors and misspellings

[languid spire]

this is the third time you have posted this rubbish. Have you configured your IDE?

[rich adder]

yeah not likely this whole script is riddled with erros

[ionic zephyr]

its just the attack animation, i want it not to move while attacking, do you think I have to use an animation event anyway?

[summer stump]

"Have to" no
Should and is the easiest yes

[rich adder]

you can also check the current state from animator and use that in some sort of IEnumerator with a waitwhile / waituntil

[ionic zephyr]

Okay, thanks a lot

[summer stump]

True, that would probably be as easy

[keen hill]

can u help me on pv?

Hello, a simple question. How to handle closing app by X in either OS? Because I handle saving on exit in custom function on clicking proper exit button...
However when I tried OnApplicationExit handling and it does not manage to save stuff in time before the process/threads ends and therefore ends up in a mess.

[rich adder]

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Application-wantsToQuit.html

[hexed granite]

I don't understand anything about the C# language, that's why I'm asking for help, I've never done anything with it, I just stupidly copied a video but he clicks on launch the game and it doesn't launch for me

[long scarab]

Must've missed than in my google research, thanks

[timber tide]

sounds like you need to learn your c# first before touching Unity then

[long scarab]

Working on Win/macOS tho? Not just phones?

[rich adder]

its actually the other way around if you read it

[languid spire]

this is not about C# this is about preparing your coding environment correctyl, do that first

[rich adder]

Important: The return has no effect on iOS or iPadOS. Application can not prevent termination under iOS or iPadOS.

[long scarab]

yeah well

in my googling I found out most people wanted to know this for phones

[hexed granite]

ok but how to do it on the links it talks about line of code and debugging

seems ios limitation only 🤷‍♂️

ah, so you can't prevent ios from preventing terminating your program or something?

[polar acorn]

At no point do these guides have you writing code

[timber tide]

in that case you may want to save concurrently throughout

[long scarab]

this for me?

Well yeah, I am autosaving automatically, but also wanted to save something on exit

[hexed granite]

Which one should I go to?

[languid spire]

for mobile you should use Pause not Exit

[polar acorn]

Whichever IDE you are using

[hexed granite]

Sorry i am french i dont good understand

[hexed granite]

what is the ide 😭😭

[swift crag]

what program are you using to edit your code?

[polar acorn]

the thing you write code in

[hexed granite]

oh yes in Microsoft Visual Studio

[ionic zephyr]

sorry, its me again how can I wait until an animation stops to continue my characters movement

[polar acorn]

so that is what you click

[ionic zephyr]

because is a corroutine necessary

[polar acorn]

Use an animation event to re-enable movement

[rich adder]

only if you don't want to use animation event

[hexed granite]

I looked at it and it tells me how to configure it and how to update it but all of it I have already done where it blocks it is when Try to launch the game on unity

[rich adder]

coroutine is still pretty simple to do

Animator anim;
    IEnumerator WaitAnim()
    {
        anim.SetTrigger("Attack");
        //or anim.SetBool("Attacking", true);
        var animPlaying = anim.GetCurrentAnimatorStateInfo(0).IsName("AttackAnimation");
        yield return new WaitWhile(() => animPlaying);
        //do something else after attack
        //anim.SetBool("Attacking", false)
    }```

[polar acorn]

If you had configured it, you would have red underlines in the code where your errors are. Do you?

[shell herald]

so, i logged the hit.transform. position.x and its 0, it shouldnt tho. why is that?
https://hastebin.com/share/uwonodufeb.csharp

[ionic zephyr]

Okay, thanks

[ionic zephyr]

thanks!

[languid spire]

post a screenshot of your code editor

[hexed granite]

okay

[swift crag]

It is possible that they just installed the Visual Studio Editor package, but it's not able to start working because of the outstanding compile errors.

[polar acorn]

You're logging player.transform.position.x, not hit.

[swift crag]

that's a fun x-factor

[polar acorn]

And if it's logging 0, then it's 0

[languid spire]

so you have NOT done it

[shell herald]

im logging both

[rich adder]

this should say assembly

[polar acorn]

Ah, right, I see now

Well, if it logs 0, then it's 0

[shell herald]

but i figured it out. i use hit.point.x and it works

[polar acorn]

You should probably put some sort of label in there and see which one is which

Thanks i see

[hexed granite]

I follow the tutorial and I'll tell you what it gives, thank you very much

[warm maple]

Heya, so just curious about Time.deltaTime. In this code piece should i time the staminaDrain with Time.deltaTime?

        {
            playerStamina -= staminaDrain;

            playerStamina = Mathf.Round(playerStamina);

            staminaSlider.value = playerStamina;

            movementSpeed = sprintSpeed;
        }```

My taught process was that the stamina should be framerate independent, but when using Time.deltaTime the stamina doesn't decrease

[rocky canyon]

if a higher framerate is running that code.. their stamina is gonna drop much faster

[timber tide]

lol

[polar acorn]

You're rounding the value. Unless deltaTime is a whole number it's not gonna do anything

[languid spire]

post another screenshot of your code editor when you are done

[wintry quarry]

Mathf.Round here is a bad idea. And yes you should be using deltaTime

[timber tide]

I like to bring up that one of the Dark Souls games tied weapon durability to framerate so those with expensive monitors at the same ran into situations where smacking a sword at a wall instantly broke it,

[swift crag]

staminaDrain is measured in units of stamina per second. Multiply it by deltaTime to figure out how much stamina to subtract in this frame.

[warm maple]

Ah that makes sense yeah, I was already thinking that I should use deltaTime here. Rounding up isn't that necessary I guess?

[rocky canyon]

then the round.. not sure about it

[swift crag]

Why are you rounding?

If you want to display a nice whole number, do that when you display the number.

[hexed granite]

Okay

[ivory bobcat]

If anything, you can round before you use the value. Don't round what's stored.

[warm maple]

That makes more sense

[swift crag]

did you read the warning message

[polar acorn]

What's the IDE say

[keen hill]

sry wrong screen

[warm maple]

I saw a general rule of using deltaTime is whenever you move an object. But from what I've seen and read it's more where you indeed want it to be frame rate independent. So I assume that if you were to shoot a gun you would want to * it with deltaTime too so someone doesn't shoot faster with a better pc, am I correct?

[ivory bobcat]

Same result

[wintry quarry]

exactly what it says. You are using the wrong method signature. Specifically you have Collider instead of the correct Collision parameter.

[rich adder]

well did you look at the correct signature then ?
Check the docs for the function

[swift crag]

I would not describe it like this.

[rocky canyon]

look up the correct OnCollisionEnter()

[swift crag]

You should think about it from a units perspective.

[keen hill]

i dont know how to use the OncollisionEnter function so im kinda confused

[ivory bobcat]

Consider "what is the correct signature?"

[rocky canyon]

it doesn't use a "collider"

[ivory bobcat]

Google Unity On Collision Enter

[polar acorn]

It looks like the Unity message OnCollisionEnter has an incorrect signature

[rich adder]

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Collider.OnCollisionEnter.html

[wintry quarry]

a general rule of using deltaTime is whenever you move an object
This would be incorrect. It has to do with converting per-frame quantities to per-second.

[trail fox]

im tryna make a gun for a first person game but when i look up and down the gun model just goes further out and if i move my camera to the center its good again is this a feature or am i stupid https://gdl.space/uhipisivus.cpp

[timber tide]

I have to say a lot of information about what to use deltaTime is very inconsistent, but the goal is to keep the collisional / physics related logic seperate from the visual logic.

[rocky canyon]

bad scales i would guess

[wintry quarry]

sounds like you parented the gun to a non-uniformly scaled parent object

[keen hill]

so what should go instead the "collision" word

[rich adder]

input is wrongly using time.deltaTime

[polar acorn]

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Collider.OnCollisionEnter.html

[rocky canyon]

did u even click the link ^ ?

[rich adder]

spoiler alert: no

[keen hill]

yes and im confused the same as i ware earlier

[rocky canyon]

why? theres an example on the page..

using the same function..

[warm maple]

I understand, so as I said if I were to make a pistol that shoots a projectile. You'd want to * the force its going to as someone with a faster PC would shoot faster, correct?

[rocky canyon]

BUT.. with a different ( )

[ivory bobcat]

Or maybe but overwhelmed (maaaybe 😅)

[rich adder]

thats because you lack c# basics and dont even know what to look for, example what is a method signature?

[swift crag]

no, this is wrong: you would use an instantaneous impulse

which is time-independent

let me type something out here...

[rocky canyon]

public class ExampleClass : MonoBehaviour
{
    public Transform explosionPrefab;

    void OnCollisionEnter(Collision collision)
    {
        ContactPoint contact = collision.contacts[0];
        Quaternion rotation = Quaternion.FromToRotation(Vector3.up, contact.normal);
        Vector3 position = contact.point;
        Instantiate(explosionPrefab, position, rotation);
        Destroy(gameObject);
    }
}```

here is the function on the page.. that u said u looked at.

[swift crag]

deltaTime

[rich adder]

true the terms are esp confusing prob

[rocky canyon]

||Colliders are not Collisions||

[rich adder]

but they need to understand why the signature is important

[rocky canyon]

look at ur void method.. and look at the correct one. and see whts different..

ya, after they discover Spot the difference then it can be elaborated on

[ivory bobcat]

As shown by the link, the callback function used by Unity requires a signature with the type Collision as the parameter but your using Collider instead - Collider would be valid for On Trigger Enter but not On Collision Enter where we'd care about a bit more than just the other colliding object.

[rich adder]

especially when unity auto-calls those methods

[rocky canyon]

the signature? isn't it a method as well?

[languid spire]

lol, the way a method is declared is called it's signature

[rocky canyon]

https://learn.unity.com/tutorial/method-overloading

this goes over signatures ^

well not really..

"The signature is the combination of the methods name and its parameter list"

[languid spire]

and the return type

[rocky canyon]

ahh yes AND the return type..

[strange granite]

can somone help me to start my journey on game dev... what to learn first how to make game egine and after that game development?... i know cpp... what to learn first

[rich adder]

yes you do, believe you me

[keen hill]

im just getting confused cuz english is my second language

and i dont know most words

[swift crag]

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/programming-guide/classes-and-structs/methods#method-signatures

[keen hill]

when it comes to programming and stuff

[swift crag]

C# includes the return type.

[rocky canyon]

well just straight up.. ur method ur trying to call returns a Collision

[rich adder]

same but if you learned c# then the errors are universal

[rocky canyon]

the method u wrote. and why its an error.. u have it trying to return a Collider

[ivory bobcat]

I've found that people become more aware about the terminology "signature" when attempting to overload but assume that the return type is a part of a functions signature - it's not.
If they did not really know the definition of signature before, they'd know it thereafter.

[swift crag]

Methods are declared in a class, struct, or interface by specifying the access level such as public or private, optional modifiers such as abstract or sealed, the return value, the name of the method, and any method parameters. These parts together are the signature of the method.

you'll have to take it up with Microsoft if you disagree in the context of C#

[rocky canyon]

some of unity's methods do return a collider.. but not OnCollision

[swift crag]

this has nothing to do with returning anything. the method had the wrong parameters.

[ivory bobcat]

Regardless, you'll pick it up now or after several more incidents with it 👍

[rocky canyon]

sorry i was getting confused.. i always think of that as returning a Collision you can then access within the code...

but its not. b/c the void is the return type

[swift crag]

it receives a Collision object.

[rocky canyon]

yea, i got it now..

yea RECEIVES, like an Out

out Hit of a raycast for example

[languid spire]

no

[rocky canyon]

fuck

lol

[swift crag]

an out parameter passes a variable by reference to the called function and demands that something be assigned to it.

[rocky canyon]

ohh okay.. hang on im writting some of this down in a notepad doc

[rocky canyon]

thanks for wording it that way.. that makes sense to me now

i think i found a decent source https://imran-momin.medium.com/defining-methods-unity-c-19feeefbf8fa

ohh okay, so they are Arguments when Calling a function, and the arguments are wats used for the Parameters of the method beign called

[swift crag]

yes

[rocky canyon]

phew..

[swift crag]

arguments are what you actually pass in

parameters are what the funciton declares that it wants

[rocky canyon]

yea, okay i think i got those two.

[ivory bobcat]

Passed with arguments
Defined with parameters

[swift crag]

This probably varies from language to language

[rocky canyon]

alright.. so im solid on those.. its the outs, refs, and the receiving part i still need to freshing up on

[ivory bobcat]

special modifiers with the type

[rocky canyon]

i get the receiving part like this functions brings in this variable to use within the body..

[languid spire]

and dont get started on params

[rocky canyon]

i can just work around that.. but refs and outs. always kinda confuse me still

[swift crag]

ref is the most general form. It allows you to share a variable with the function.

in is like ref but is read-only, and out is like ref but write-only

(and also demands assignment)

[sage mirage]

@rich adder Thanks for giving again the idea of Game States I was able to fix my problem and handle game flow properly. It is just like I see more organised way to handle game states rather than having bools everywhere and when something strange occurs to not know what you have to change in your bool values.

[rocky canyon]

ohh okay.. so i guess ref is shorthand for reference

[swift crag]

There are some other intricacies. For example, in allows you to pass non-lvalues (things you can't assign to, like a literal number)

hence ref readonly showing up in C#12

[rocky canyon]

omg theres an "in" too?!

i doubt ill need that anytime soon 😅

[swift crag]

yes. it shows up a lot in ECS code

it's useful if you need to share a large value type with a function

but you don't want it to be allowed to mutate the value type

[buoyant knot]

but aren’t value types not modified when going into a function, without a ref keyword?

[swift crag]

Right. Hence in

You want to share, like with ref

But you don't want any modification to happen

[rich adder]

exactly after a while so many bools gets difficult to track, much easier to be in a singular state. Once you work events in there like public static event Action<GameState> OnGameStateChanged
Power is unstoppable

[rocky canyon]

what function am i familiar with that uses ref.. Isn't there a MoveTowards or some lerp type function that uses ref

[swift crag]

SmoothDamp.

[rocky canyon]

i wanna practice with some of these

[swift crag]

It needs to be able to update the velocity argument.

[rocky canyon]

thanks thats it!

[rich adder]

also GetRotationAndPosition

[swift crag]

that uses out

[rocky canyon]

imma practice these today..

[rich adder]

wait there was another one

[rocky canyon]

just realized how bad i am at them

[swift crag]

ref is used when the function must be able to read from and write to the reference

[buoyant knot]

would the compiler just know to effectively do the same thing as “in” if it already applies?

[ivory bobcat]

All three of the keywords give access to the variable with different constraints. I'm assuming they're all references to the value under the hood (I'd do that with other languages to reduce copying values)

[swift crag]

maybe, if it could prove that you never modify the parameter

[rocky canyon]

IDE's are pretty good at that already arent they/

[buoyant knot]

i guess it would make a difference with threads, right?

[rocky canyon]

hence why i get the "Never used" grey variables

[swift crag]

Some forms of static analysis are reasonably easy! I did that exact analysis back in grad school..

[ivory bobcat]

If you're writing code for others where you don't know what they'll be doing with it, you'll want to consider placing the correct constraints - it's no different from making everything public.

[rocky canyon]

makes sense, what if u didn't and used the wrong constraints.. i could image how much trouble that might cause if someone needs to change one to be accessed in other ways 😐

could be a big ole refactor for sure

[languid spire]

that is why we design software not just throw it together

[rocky canyon]

lol.. looks around curiously

id have ALOT of work going from solo to a team

thats all i know

unless i was the Team Lead! "Do as I do!"

[swift crag]

(:

[languid spire]

Solo dev -> Team lead. A marriage made in hell

[ivory bobcat]

If you're just writing for yourself, it's probably fine as long as nobody has to read it (or maintain it in the future) - it's not good practice though (my ocd kicks up)

[scarlet hull]

why there isnt SetSelectedTower(int) in buttons funtions?

[rocky canyon]

ya, im not gonna pretend im the best coder.. but i try to keep it as legible as possible

its a private function

its not gonna show on that list

[scarlet hull]

alright

[edgy prism]

Would anyone mind giving me some advice on animations currently calling an idle animation I want to be doing any time I'm not playing another like this:

void Update()
    {
        if(playerUnit.IsPlayingAttack == false && playerUnit.IsPlayingIdle == false)
        {
            StartCoroutine(playerUnit.PlayIdleAnimation());
        }
    }

The problem is as soon as I call my other animations im not actually stopping the idle animation and they're both trying to set sprites at the same time is there a way I can easily manage this?

public IEnumerator PlayIdleAnimation()
    {
        isPlayingIdle = true;

        float frameDuration = 0.0417f;

        foreach (Sprite sprite in Capta.Base.IdleSprites)
        {
            image.sprite = sprite;
            yield return new WaitForSeconds(frameDuration);
        }

        isPlayingIdle = false;
    }

This is the current idle function

[rocky canyon]

why are you not using the animation state machine w/ transitions?

couldnt u set those on a bool.. (bool true -> idle) (bool false -> transition to other)

[edgy prism]

Im not sure what you mean by animation state machine, like Unitys built in animator window?

[rocky canyon]

yes

[edgy prism]

Idk honestly seemed simpler to just hard code it quickly

[rocky canyon]

until now.. now its easier to toggle a boolean

lol

[shell sorrel]

if hard coding it would not use coroutines since its a continious thing

like starting coroutines from a update is kinda weird

[edgy prism]

My bad I just meant do it in code since im not familiar with the animator at all

[swift crag]

Sounds like you should store the current coroutine

you can add a Coroutine field and store the return value from StartCoroutine into it

[rocky canyon]

its always a good time to learn.. but yea theres code alterations u can do ^ also

[swift crag]

You can then pass it to StopCoroutine to cancel the existing coroutine

[shell sorrel]

or use Update for it, count time, and keep track of the current frame index

[swift crag]

I'd add a method whose job is to look for an existing coroutine, kill it, start a new coroutine, and save the resulting Coroutine

call it PlayAnimation

[edgy prism]

Am I better off carrying on as I am than using animator?

Your idea sounds like a fix Fen

[rocky canyon]

it would be simpler to use the animator in the long run.. esp if u have add any more states/animations (imo)

but i aint gonna say if its better 1 way or the other..

[edgy prism]

If I use the animator I still have to call it in my scripts right?

[rocky canyon]

yea but you can set parameters

and change those.. the animator just takes over

and does the transitions and stuff on its own

u basically just let teh animator animate.. and u tell it what data to use to figure out how to animate

[shell sorrel]

could always just pull from Any State instead of needing every combo of transitions

[hexed granite]

I need help with a step it tells me to the Common7/IDE directory then select become.exe where is it? @languid spire

[rocky canyon]

like isWalking = false; or speed = 1.4f;

or w/e

[rocky canyon]

and this too

i havent done one with the anystate node yet

[fluid remnant]

What is the minimal approach to Serializing dictionary in the inspector ?
I'd like not to use any plugins like Odin

[rocky canyon]

i should do that too

[languid spire]

What? Where?

[shell sorrel]

jsut use a list of structs that have a key and a value field, then on Awake build a Dictionary with it

[fluid remnant]

the tricky part is I need to inspect this dictionary and its values changing at realtime

[hexed granite]

the 2

[fluid remnant]

right now I'm doing struct that makes new list every change of value

[edgy prism]

Hmm you make a compelling argument can I duplicate it and have two of the same running independently if im animating more than once character at once?

[shell sorrel]

same idea then with https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/ISerializationCallbackReceiver.html

[rocky canyon]

absolutely.. u'd have a seperate reference to a seperate instance of hte same animator

[fluid remnant]

Look like this is what I needed to look into. Thanks!

[rocky canyon]

thisAnimator.parameter =
thatAnimator.parameter =

or even a list of animators

[languid spire]

Got it. Ignore that, just select the correct visual studio from the drop down

[edgy prism]

Ok thanks for your help ill try it out

[rocky canyon]

just look into it

[hexed granite]

Okay thanks

[rocky canyon]

see if its something u may wanna start using..

or if ur method is better..

[edgy prism]

Ok will do, although honestly im not planning on having real complex animation trees so im not sure it will make much difference

[hexed granite]

I'm done send screen ?

[languid spire]

'yes

[rocky canyon]

well say u just have 2 animations.. walk and idle.. instead of stopping the walk and starting the idle
you could just set 1 boolean for example.. isWalking = false;

[hexed granite]

Okay

[rocky canyon]

even with small states it can still be an improvement

[rocky canyon]

😦

[hexed granite]

WHY?

[rocky canyon]

b/c VSCODE ahem

nah im kidden.. lol

[ivory bobcat]

Haven't we been seeing this code all day?

[rocky canyon]

hes trying to get his editor fixed at this point i assume

[languid spire]

yep, still no configured IDE

[edgy prism]

Its from big GameDevExperiments youtube channel

[rocky canyon]

and he speaks French

[hexed granite]

Sorry 😭

[rocky canyon]

lmao, dont apologize for ur nationallity 👀

[edgy prism]

Oh ok now I see the value

[hexed granite]

Why

[ivory bobcat]

It's required to get help here

[rocky canyon]

VSCode is always more difficult to get set up than VSCommunity

[languid spire]

he said he was using VS not VSCode

[hexed granite]

why is it so hard in the tutorial it's simple

[rocky canyon]

ohh than not sure why? VSCommunity is usually really easy to set up

[languid spire]

screenshot Unity Preferences->External tools

[hexed granite]

Really ?

[languid spire]

yes, really

Visual Guide ^

see if that helps u understand what u missed

[hexed granite]

I'm not much away from abandoning everything even though I've already done everything

[rocky canyon]

not the attitude that will garner much help tbh

[ivory bobcat]

What step were you on?

Oh step two (I can't read French)

[rocky canyon]

Step 1 Uninstall Visual Studio
Step 2. Reinstall Through the Unity Hub

most straight forward way I've seen it done..

[ivory bobcat]

#854851968446365696 @hexed granite

[hexed granite]

in the video what he shows at 1 minute I don't

[hexed granite]

I never ask for someone to do it to me, I want someone to tell me where it's going wrong, but given that I'm French, I have no problem

[rocky canyon]

so this?

that means that the Unity Package isnt installed in VS

[gaunt harbor]

I need your ideas.

I need to find a method, I have a point/crosshair in the center of the canvas, I want to detect when the point is aimed at an enemy/block/etc.

[wintry quarry]

use a raycast

[gaunt harbor]

The problem is that it passes through a wall and I don't know how I am going to prevent it from passing through

[rocky canyon]

you need to install the Unity Game Development Kit, after that you can restart and u should be able to select in as Unity as your IDE in the Project Settings > External Tools

[polar acorn]

Layermask

[wintry quarry]

Use a layermask

[ivory bobcat]

The intellisense will highlight everything that's invalid or strange. It'll save you and the people helping you a lot of headache. If you get stuck after the ide is properly setup, folks will help point you to your solution. No one said anyone was doing it for you but the server rule states that we need to get people to properly configure their ide first before doing anything else.

[rocky canyon]

Yea, everyones actually just trying to help.. B/c once you have it set up It will help you a lot

[scarlet hull]

i accedentally deleted the original layer

how do i fix this

[rocky canyon]

ctrl + Z to undo

[scarlet hull]

i tried it but

its not going back

[rocky canyon]

may have to remake it then

[ivory bobcat]

Can you show the console window?

[rocky canyon]

you only have (1) clip so far.. shouldnt be too hard to remake it

but ive never seen that error

[ivory bobcat]

This looks like a runtime error and not the something that you're showing us.

[rocky canyon]

You have an Animator component that is being referenced.
At some point, you are destroying the Animator component.
Any scripts trying to reference the Animator component no longer can, because it has been destroyed.
An error occurs.
You need to prevent the Animator component from being destroyed.```

unity forums thinks it may be that ur destroying an animator

[ivory bobcat]

If you double click the error, does it take you anywhere?

[rocky canyon]

but yea im on the fence.. if it were me i'd save what i got and restart

if its still there.. then id look into it a bit more

unless u know that ur destroying an animator somewhere and not telling us about it

this doesnt look like a "Controller"

it looks like u put an animation Clip

where an animator is supposed to go

[scarlet hull]

i havent ureferenced animation in scripts

[rocky canyon]

read my last post ^

oh wait

thats not it.. just testing and that is what it looks like if u Animated a GameObject

@scarlet hull ^ yea ignore that last post.. i thought they may be it but it looks the same on my project

[scarlet hull]

alr

[rocky canyon]

do u have any other animators in the scene?

besides the one on "GameObject"

[scarlet hull]

i have 2 on it

[rocky canyon]

ohhh

[scarlet hull]

not on any other game objects

[ivory bobcat]

I'm guessing that the object was destroyed but they're still trying to access it

[rocky canyon]

you have 2 "Animators" ?

on (one) object?

[ivory bobcat]

(code is likely necessary to solve this issue)

[cinder lynx]

Hi guys!! Quick question! I was following a Code Monkey tutorial when I got stuck into an error that probably the solutions is right in front of me. Basically I was implementing the asset "Input Actions" manually like he does on the video, then my C# code does not recognize the class "PlayerInputActions" could you help me? The video is Learn Unity Beginner/Intermediate 2023 (FREE COMPLETE Course - Unity Tutorial) - Code Monkey || Time of the video: 10:45:00

MY GAMEINPUT CODE:

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using Unity.VisualScripting;
using UnityEngine;

public class GameInput : MonoBehaviour
{
    
    private PlayerInputActions playerInputActions
    private void Awake()
    {
        playerInputActions = new PlayerInputActions();

        playerInputActions.Player.Enable();
    }
    public Vector2 GetMovementVectorNormalized()
    {
        Vector2 inputVector = new Vector2(0,0); 
        if(Input.GetKey(KeyCode.W))
        {
            
            inputVector.y = +1;
            
        }

        if(Input.GetKey(KeyCode.S))
        {
            inputVector.y = -1;
        }
        
        if(Input.GetKey(KeyCode.A))
        {
            inputVector.x = -1;
        }

        if(Input.GetKey(KeyCode.D))
        {
            inputVector.x = +1;
        }

        inputVector = inputVector.normalized;
        
        return inputVector;
    }

}
 

[rocky canyon]

yea, im lost

[rocky canyon]

any clues? do u think he destroys one?

[wintry quarry]

PlayerInputActions is the generated C# script from your input actions asset

Make sure you used the same name for your input asset

and that you have it generating the C# class

(and that you set it up in the first place)

[scarlet hull]

like this

[warm condor]

Hey, I have this jumpSliding method that, well will allow th player to jump slide. The problem I have is that one of the if statments (the very first if statment), is being called repeatatly and then stopes, wehn it is only supposed to be called once and wait till it does it again. Here is the code:

        if (allowJumpSliding && Input.GetKey(KeyCode.S)){
            Debug.Log("dasdsadsadsa");
            rb.velocityX += direction * horizontalSpeedToJumpSlide;
            slide(direction);
        }
        else if (bottomCollider.IsTouchingLayers() == true && Input.GetKey(KeyCode.S) && Math.Abs(rb.velocityY) > verticleSpeedLimitToAllowJumpSlide && allowJumpSliding == false){
            allowJumpSliding = true;
            Invoke("setJumpSlidingToFalse", jumpSlidingTimeLimitValue);
        }```
How do I fix this issue?

[rocky canyon]

If you mean to change out the animator, then you need to reassign it when the one it references is destroyed.```

[rocky canyon]

the other error on the forums seems to think that one gets destroyed. but the reference is still there..

[scarlet hull]

i accedentally

[ivory bobcat]

Did you setup the input action?

[rocky canyon]

so its causing an error

[scarlet hull]

deleted

base layer

and created a new one

[wintry quarry]

those are Animation Clips, not animators

[rocky canyon]

delete the animator u broke

and remake it

[cinder lynx]

I'll check that again

[cinder lynx]

yes

[ivory bobcat]

If you've skipped some steps, it'll not work.

[scarlet hull]

lemme ttry

[wintry quarry]

you need to show the name of the asset

and the settings of it in the inspector

you cut off too much in this screenshot

[rocky canyon]

@scarlet hull it wont even let me delete my base layer

[scarlet hull]

i fixedd itt

[rocky canyon]

just remaking it?

i need to know what u did to fix it 😄

[cinder lynx]

Sorry

[ivory bobcat]

Likely they've called destroy on the object with the component but are still doing stuff with it.

[wintry quarry]

looks fine

so what error are you getting?
And where did you put your code?

[rocky canyon]

i think they somehow deleted the base layer of an animator.. by having a 2nd animator?

thats what he said caused the error.. and i can't seem to delete mine.. i get a catch

maybe his editor didn't stop him?

[cinder lynx]

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

[ivory bobcat]

Likely not, just a missing reference error

[wintry quarry]

Where did you put your script?

[rocky canyon]

well they "fixed it"

[hexed granite]

I don't have the right one, that's why I think but I can't go back to it

[rocky canyon]

guess we'll never know.. like a tootsie pop

[cinder lynx]

Player gameobj

[warm condor]

hey can someone help me here? #💻┃code-beginner message

[wintry quarry]

not where did you attach it. I mean where is the script itself?

What folder is it in?

Also I thought it was the GameInput script

not the Player script

[cinder lynx]

Folder Script

[wintry quarry]

where is the GameInput script file itself?

[wintry quarry]

ok and what else is in there? Can you show that folder?

[ivory bobcat]

GetKeyDown

[rocky canyon]

the if condition is going to run how-ever mayn times u call the function thats wrapped around it

if u only want the if statement to run once.. ur gonna have to probably set a flag

[wintry quarry]

where's your console window?

[hexed granite]

guess we'll never know.. like a tootsie pop

[rocky canyon]

or yea GetKeyDown (registers on just the frame its pushed)

so swapping that out may be sufficient

[cinder lynx]

Idk whitch one do you want

[wintry quarry]

ok so this is just a problem with your IDE

not with Unity/the code itself

regenerate project files I guess?

[cinder lynx]

How do I do that

[wintry quarry]

Preferences -> External Tools

[warm condor]

oh yea you were right

[warm condor]

a flag, whats that?

[wintry quarry]

boolean variable

[rocky canyon]

it just means like a boolean or something.. like

if(running && canRun)
//do ur stuff
canRun = false;}

[cinder lynx]

it worked

XD

[rocky canyon]

so at teh end of the first loop thru u set a boolean to say.. dont try again

[cinder lynx]

lmao

I just had to put vscode there again

idk why it's always putting vs2022 insted of vscode

Thanks

[rocky canyon]

^ yea its easy.. lol i really feel bad when someone can't get theirs set correctly..

[rocky canyon]

maybe its listing them by Superiority 😉

[cinder lynx]

idk

thanks again

[rocky canyon]

u trying to make recursive lists?

never done that.. not sure the gameplan here

[faint osprey]

im trying to make a list of a list of ints

[rocky canyon]

yea 😄 someone smarter has to chime in

[ivory bobcat]

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/programming-guide/classes-and-structs/object-and-collection-initializers#collection-initializers

[brave compass]

That syntax can only be used with arrays. You can do this instead:

List<List<int>> roomMatrix = new()
{
    new() {0, 0, 0},
    new() {0, 0, 0},
    new() {0, 0, 0}
};

Nevermind

[short perch]

OnTriggerEnter doesn't work for me

is the thing itself supposed to be set to is trigger?

[rocky canyon]

https://unity.huh.how/physics-messages

[short perch]

or is the thing it's colliding with supposed to be set to is trigger?

[rich adder]

well the function name is OnTrigger

what do you think

[polar acorn]

The Three Commandments of OnTriggerEnter:

1. Thou Shalt have a 3D Collider on each object
2. Thou Shalt tick isTrigger on at least one of them
3. Thou Shalt have a 3D Rigidbody on at least one of them

thanks you very muches you dear sir

[void dawn]

system.badimageformatexception:format not executable (.exe) or library (.dll) is invalid

How do I fix

[hexed terrace]

this is a code channel, that's not code related (also... just google that exact error)

[polar acorn]

Context?

[void dawn]

Where do I ask then ?

[hexed terrace]

Where you asked it last time.. #💻┃unity-talk (crossposting isn't allowed either 😉 )

[keen hill]

what type of a raycast should i do when doing third person pickup system i was thinking about a beam but thicker

so like a normal raycast but thicker

should i use a square cast?

[hexed terrace]

You mean box cast?

Why not just do a ray cast?

[keen hill]

cuz the way my cinemachine camera works

it would make it very awkward to have a small ray

right now im testing it

and thats how im casting my ray

[cosmic dagger]

Look at the different (shape) XXXCast methods and pick the one that best fits your situation . . .

[keen hill]

okay thanks 🙂

[hexed terrace]

The image doesn't really show why a raycast wouldn't work, but its neither here nor there.. use ☝️

[rocky canyon]

Whoop whoop, got the first step of my (Drag to drop waypoints) mechanic

        dragging = Input.GetMouseButton(0);
        objectToTrackMousePosition.SetActive(dragging);
        float dist = Mathf.Infinity;

        //update mouse position
        Ray ray = Camera.main.ScreenPointToRay(Input.mousePosition);
        RaycastHit hit;

        if(Physics.Raycast(ray,out hit,dist))
        {
            lastMousePosition = hit.point;
        }
 
        objectToTrackMousePosition.transform.position = lastMousePosition;``` nice and simple so far

now, every x amount of distance (i was debating on distance vs time) it'll drop a waypoint on the position.. then i'll draw the shape

i need to make some states now, i have a camera script that moves the camera around when i click and drag. or maybe a simple bool will do it

if a unit is selected i'll just disable the camera script

[buoyant knot]

@timber tide for some reason, my OnBeforeSerialize gets called whenever I enter play mode. 😦

[timber tide]

Ah shoot does it :(

I wonder why

[buoyant knot]

idk

I just want a method to be called when I'm done making edits in inspector

and I can't make a custom editor script for this without screwing up the ruletile editor

[timber tide]

Maybe make your own method that finds all method implementations of InspectorDebug()

[real merlin]

hello so i'm getting nullreferenceexception on line 22 (second image) and i do not know what that means or how to fix it can anyone help ?

[timber tide]

and make big button that you press

[rocky canyon]

means ur trying to do something with something that isnt assigned..

it knows theres a spellmanager.. but its not assigned.. its null

[real merlin]

what does assigning it mean

oh wait

[rocky canyon]

it means telling it what instance of that script

that ur using

and also.. dont use the exact same name as the name of the class

[real merlin]

i miss-drag-and-dropped the script

in the serializefield

[real merlin]

tried doing so but the ide didn't like it

[rocky canyon]

its gonna get confused if the name and the type are the same name.. as u have spellmanager forboth

well the type has to be exactly the same as the file name..

change the name.. not the type.

spellmanager mySpellManager;

mySpellManager.cast()

[real merlin]

alright i'll try it

thank you very much

[rocky canyon]

actually, I forgot I already have a custom editor lmao

[olive lintel]

hey guys, I have a question in regards to network RPCs. I've tried to RPC an array of different "gun shot info" structs, however I have received the error message shown below. Is the only way to RPC this information by using a series of individual RPCs for each gun shot info in sequence? many thanks.

[real merlin]

i need a way to reference my class inside a function that is inside that class, i tried using the code in the image bellow but unity doesn't like it

[rocky canyon]

this <-- would be the instance of the class within that class.. wouldnt it?

[real merlin]

yeah..

[rocky canyon]

unless u need a new version of it

either way, the IDE doesn't yell at me. maybe u shouldn't use a var b/c u already know its a spellmanager

spellmanager s = new spellmanager();

[real merlin]

i did not know the this thing existed

[real merlin]

oh that's true

thank you again !

[rocky canyon]

yea, this, this.transform etc

just means this exact copy

[real merlin]

i can't use it inside a static function tho

[rocky canyon]

ya, b/c a static function can only exist once..

[real merlin]

what does that mean ?

[rocky canyon]

if its a static function inside of that class.. and u try to make a (new) one.. you now have (2) static functions ** of the same function **

which u cant do

https://discussions.unity.com/t/what-exactly-is-static/39694

[real merlin]

i'll read that thank you

        for(int i = 0; i < roomCount; i++)
        {
            horizontalChoice = Random.Range(0, 2);
            verticalChoice = Random.Range(0, 2);
            if (i > 0)
            {
                while(horizontalChoice != leftCheck || horizontalChoice != rightCheck)
                {
                    horizontalChoice = Random.Range(0, 2);
                }

                while (verticalChoice != upCheck || verticalChoice != downCheck)
                {
                    verticalChoice = Random.Range(0, 2);
                }
            }
            upCheck = verticalChoice - 1;
            downCheck = verticalChoice + 1;
            leftCheck = horizontalChoice - 1;
            rightCheck = horizontalChoice + 1;
            roomMatrix[verticalChoice][horizontalChoice] = 1;
        }``` i dont understand how this is giving me an infinite loop

[polar acorn]

What are leftCheck and rightCheck

[faint osprey]

integers

[polar acorn]

Are they the same number

[faint osprey]

well there being randomly assigned in a very small range so they should reach that number

[polar acorn]

But there is a possibility they are different numbers, right?

[faint osprey]

yeah

but it wouldnt go on infinitly

[polar acorn]

Then I don't know how you think this could end:

while(horizontalChoice != leftCheck || horizontalChoice != rightCheck)
                {
                    horizontalChoice = Random.Range(0, 2);
                }

If it's not equal to left check OR its not equal to right check, you loop

If left check and right check are different numbers, it is impossible to be equal to both to get out of this loop

[faint osprey]

yeah and each time im changing its values which could make it the same as left or right

[faint osprey]

no its not cause its OR not and

[polar acorn]

And if it's the same as left, it is no longer the same as right, so the loop continues again

[faint osprey]

oh wait

[polar acorn]

Let's assume left check is 0, and right check is 1, okay?

[faint osprey]

no it does need to be and

[polar acorn]

If horizontalChoice randoms into 1

[faint osprey]

i was getting them mixed up

[polar acorn]

it is no longer equal to left check so it loops

[shy rain]

Hello , ive wanted to ask how can i make a transition from a 3D-scene to a 2D-scene?
I'm mainly asking because ive had an idea that upon interacting with an Object/NPC , it would trigger an transition from the 3D-Space to 2D-Space to play an An Animated interaction with the object/converstation with the NPC.

this is short visualization of the transition in my mind

[buoyant knot]

look at mario

Paper Mario and Mario Odyssey both did that

in terms of physics, that is going to be rough, because 2D and 3D physics systems are totally different

[shy rain]

oh nuts

i am aswell an absolute begginer , i got into unity since last week or so
i just thought making something like this would be fun but no idea where i could start so ee

[timber tide]

whats happening here

just ripping a mesh in half?

[rich adder]

the original scene becomes still image and rips to reveal 2d game?

[timber tide]

oh yeah I remember that

it makes it into a texture probably then renders on a quad

[shy rain]

yeah something like that

[rich adder]

I would start getting the 2 scenes working first then worry about the transition effect later

[timber tide]

there is like a transition in a split frame where you do notice of it happening

[shy rain]

oh alrighty! ill be getting to it then

[polar acorn]

You could have the camera output to a render texture, put that texture on a Quad that has this tearing-in-half animation, and behind it have your new scene. When you need to change scenes, you have the active camera take a snapshot and then additively load the 2D scene, drop in the animated ripping quad, and then quietly unload the original scene. Actually a pretty involved system, but it'll make for a cool effect.

Things to learn:

• How to output a camera to a render texture
• Spawning an object with the render texture as it's material's main map
• Asynchronous scene loading, including having a "transition scene" (that is normally used for a loading screen)

But definitely work on getting the scenes on either end working first before you make the transition effect. It won't do much good unless there's stuff to load on either end

[shy rain]

alrighty!

[shy rain]

actually when i think about it , it doesnt have to be a 2d scene
I could pull it off by making it look 2d within the 3d space by changing the cameras and having the animation scene out of players view

and i bet it would be an easier time

and even better i could mix both 3d and 2d objects withing the same space giving me more stuff to mess around

[faint osprey]

ive been trying to wrestle with this for a while so any thoughts on the matter would be appreciated i know its probably not the best method of going about it but i wanna try and finish it``` public List<List<int>> roomMatrix = new List<List<int>>
{
new List<int> {-1, -1, -1},
new List<int> {-1, -1, -1},
new List<int> {-1, -1, -1}
};

public List<List<bool>> roomsVisited = new List<List<bool>>
{
    new List<bool> {false, false, false},
    new List<bool> {false, false, false},
    new List<bool> {false, false, false}
};

// Start is called before the first frame update
void Start()
{
    roomCount = Random.Range(3, 6);
    for(int i = 0; i < roomCount; i++)
    {
        horizontalChoice = Random.Range(0, 2);
        verticalChoice = Random.Range(0, 2);
        if (i > 0)
        {
            while (roomsVisited[verticalChoice][horizontalChoice] == true)
            {
                while (horizontalChoice != leftCheck && horizontalChoice != rightCheck)
                {
                    horizontalChoice = Random.Range(0, 2);
                }

                while (verticalChoice != upCheck && verticalChoice != downCheck)
                {
                    verticalChoice = Random.Range(0, 2);
                }
            }
        }
        upCheck = verticalChoice - 1;
        downCheck = verticalChoice + 1;
        leftCheck = horizontalChoice - 1;
        rightCheck = horizontalChoice + 1;
        roomsVisited[verticalChoice][horizontalChoice] = false;
        roomMatrix[verticalChoice][horizontalChoice] = i;
    }``` im trying to make a loop that will choose a starting point in my list of lists of ints and lable that 0 then choose an adjacent point (either above or below or left and right) then lable that 1 and so on until i reach the required amount without going back on myself

[polar acorn]

What are leftCheck, rightCheck, upCheck, and downCheck? If any of them are 0 or 1, these loops cannot end

[faint osprey]

there integers that get updated based on what the random choice is here upCheck = verticalChoice - 1; downCheck = verticalChoice + 1; leftCheck = horizontalChoice - 1; rightCheck = horizontalChoice + 1;

[polar acorn]

What do they start at

[faint osprey]

there not assigned at start

[polar acorn]

So they're all 0

meaning the loops can never end

[faint osprey]

well no cause they get updated before the loops even happen

[polar acorn]

Oh, there's an i > 0 check there

So, let's think this through. They're at 0 to start. Let's just focus on horizontalChoice and leftCheck and rightCheck

[faint osprey]

right ok

[polar acorn]

If horizontalChoice randoms into 0, then leftCheck becomes -1 and rightCheck becomes 1.
If horizontalChoice randoms into 1, then leftCheck becomes 0 and rightCheck becomes 2.

Actually, hang on, are you still getting an infinite loop or is your issue that it's not doing anything

because that outer while loop should never run. At no point are you ever setting any value in roomsVisited to true

[faint osprey]

no im not getting an infinite loop

roomsVisited[verticalChoice][horizontalChoice] = false; omg im setting it to false

ugh

ok so now it sometimes works perfectly

and sometimes goes into an infinite loop

[polar acorn]

You should probably learn how to use the debugger so you can step through the logic

You have a situation where you have no possible choices that result in a roomsVisited of false

[stable lagoon]

how do I fix this?

[polar acorn]

Try reinstalling the package

[faint osprey]

wdym sorry?

[polar acorn]

You have hit a situation where roomsVisited[0][0], [0][1], [1][0], and [1][1] are true and those are the only possible values you can get

so it's always true

[small helm]

Hi guys, I have two scenes loaded at the same time with LoadSceneMode.Additive, each scene has a camera in it but i want each camera to only see the things in its respective scene, right now everything is visible at the same time to all cameras. How can I fix this? I am very new to unity

[stable lagoon]

got it thanks

[faint osprey]

but then shoudnt it look at [0][2] or [1][2] or [2][0] as there adjacent

[polar acorn]

how

horizontalChoice and verticalChoice can literally only be 0 or 1

[faint osprey]

if i start at [0][0] the go down twice im at [2][0]

no 0, 1 or 2

[polar acorn]

No, 0 or 1

Those are the only possible values they can be

[faint osprey]

how

[polar acorn]

Because int Random.Range is max eclusive

[faint osprey]

ohhh right

[faint osprey]

so i need to change them all to 3 then

[small helm]

am I allowed to ask my question in more than one channel if it's an appropriate channel

[faint osprey]

its still running infinitely tho

[polar acorn]

So, once again, learn to use the debugger and step through it to find out what situation is going infinite

you are in a position where all possible values for your roomsVisited are true

[faint osprey]

ok i got it working with the debugger

so its not infinite looping now

however on odd occurances the path is not adjacent tiles

i think the issue is

is that technically say my starting point is [1][1]

that means vertically [0] is valid and horizontally [2] is valid making the next point [0][2] which is not adjacent

but i wouldnt know how to fix that

[timber tide]

What are some ideas to keep a large script with numerous members clean from your header space? I've been just cramming them all into structs even though I'm not exactly passing them anywhere. A lot of my methods act directly on the member variables without parameters for the sake of simplicity. Only problem I dislike is it does create more line space as I've gotta use another dot operation to access it all.

As much as I may dislike setting up header files, it does keep your scripts pretty shiny

[shell sorrel]

what do you mean by header files?

like its not C

if you are just talking about all your fields and stuff and keeping it organized

i tend to try to not have 1 class handle too many different things, and when i need it to i will just keep fields used by sets of methods close to those methods and use regions to group

[buoyant knot]

@timber tide I solved it. I just made a custom editor, where I only defined an override for OnInspectorGUI, to call a public method. It still calls way too many times, but at least it only calls when I’m editing it.

[young anvil]

would anyone be willing to kind of "teach me unity" and how to get started with c# for unity on a 1 on 1? i have slight knowledge of c++ if that helps any

[timber tide]

Ah, I forgot about regions. That's probably something I should consider using more

[shell sorrel]

Also nothing wrong with just using composition, can just have a few other objects in your thing for handle different features of it

If lines start getting long a few getter props can handle that

[buoyant knot]

there is too much to learn for a voluntary 1 on 1 apprenticeship. You’ll need to travel around and learn

[small helm]

What do these above the cameras mean

[rich adder]

orange is the selected camera

[small helm]

why does one of the cameras not have a small icon above it

[timber tide]

I cache all my values

when you think of modifiers from like hundreds of items, it's hard to just get item stats each time you do like an attack

[queen adder]

Im quite doing that, just updating parameters at certain times

but im quite doing the hardcoded for everything

like if i got a double damage buff, i update recalculate the strength fully

[timber tide]

namespace Stats
{
    public enum StatValueType
    {
        Flat = 0,
        PercentAccumulate = 100,
        PercentMulti = 200,
    }

    [Serializable]
    public abstract class StatValue<T> where T : Enum
    {

        public StatValue(T statType, StatValueType valueModType, float value)
        {
            StatType = statType;
            StatValueType = valueModType;
            Value = value;
        }

        [field: SerializeField] public T StatType { get; private set; }
        [field: SerializeField] public StatValueType StatValueType { get; private set; }
        [field: SerializeField] public float Value { get; private set; }
    }
}```
I stick to mostly a flat, percent accumlative, and multi for the majority of formulations

[queen adder]

that's neat

so like it's smart to autodecide how it handle the stat update

rather than you manually handling how you plug in the extra buff you add

[timber tide]

mods are like blocks where you shove one in and recalculate on one specific method

[ivory bobcat]

Well, you'd normally have:

• some base value
• some stacking multipliers
• some non-stacking multipliers
• some constants
  etc

[queen adder]

i love the fact that a lot of rpg did this very nicely

[shell sorrel]

i tended to just implement buffs and debuffs as just a stack of objects, that all have various methods for the stats they effect that each accept and return a value to modify

[ivory bobcat]

Yeah, just loop through them and evaluate then later combine - possibly many different stacks as well.

[timber tide]

buffs have been tricky to implement because snapshotting stat references is a pain (think of abilities still lingering on the scene)

I'm not sure how I want to handle that

[mental grail]

im having trouble making my bullet damage the player because when i hit the enemy it takes damage but when i get rid of all its helth there in an error Destroying assets is not permitted to avoid data loss. If you really want to remove an asset use DestroyImmediate (theObject, true); UnityEngine.Object:Destroy (UnityEngine.Object) Enemy:TakeDamage (int) (at Assets/Scripts/Enemy.cs:19) Bullet:OnTriggerEnter2D (UnityEngine.Collider2D) (at Assets/Scripts/Bullet.cs:20)

and also even though i have in my start function health = 100 it doesnt update and i just has negitive health

[ivory bobcat]

The error said you're trying to destroy an asset.

Likely you're referencing an asset instead of an instance in the scene.

[rich adder]

are you trying to destroy the prefab itself?

[queen adder]

https://gdl.space/iyisefahip.cs My old buff system, trying to do something better

[mental grail]

yes

[rich adder]

well something like this basically is wrong

 public GameObject myPrefab;
    void Method()
    {
        Destroy(myPrefab);
    }```

[queen adder]

but now im just trying to redo my main parameter handling

[rich adder]

you have to destroy the copy

use instantiate

[mental grail]

how? im new to unity 🥲

[ivory bobcat]

Replace enemy.TakeDamage(20) inside the physics callback function with other.GetComponent<Enemy>().TakeDamage(20)

Likely your referenced enemy was the prefab and not the enemy in the scene

[rich adder]

oh nvm you got it sorted 🙂

[ivory bobcat]

Also, this would imply you've only got one.

The error occurred because you told the prefab to go destroy itself.

[mental grail]

omg thank you this worked 😀

[mental grail]

that makes sense now lol

[ivory bobcat]

Because the referenced enemy was a prefab

[mental grail]

i see my mistake lol

[faint osprey]

i dont understand how i can get an infinite loop sometimes but then it work normally other times

[teal viper]

Get to the infinite loop state and break with the debugger. Then inspect where it is looping and why.

[faint osprey]

i put in a break point then go in with the debugger and its always like the breakpoint is unable to be hit

so idk what to do

[teal viper]

Don't put a breakpoint. Just got the break button

It looks like the pause button and should be on your toolbar at the top.

[faint osprey]

                {
                    if (roomsValid[verticalChoice][horizontalChoice] == true && roomsVisited[verticalChoice][horizontalChoice] == false)
                    {
                        break;
                    }
                    else
                    {
                        horizontalChoice = Random.Range(0, 3);
                        verticalChoice = Random.Range(0, 3);
                    }
                }``` its cause its not getting to the break inside the if

but idk why it should

[teal viper]

Well, if it doesn't, then the conditions are not satisfied. And you can confirm why that happens by stepping through the code.

roomsValid is always true or roomsVisited is always false. Check the values of the vertical and horizontal choice and the elements inside these arrays. It's really a simple thing to debug.

[ivory bobcat]

Combinations can repeat so this could take a while stepping through the code 🥹

[gaunt ice]

Prove that there are always valid choices after i > 0

[ivory bobcat]

Just to eventually determine that none were valid and not visited

[faint osprey]

there are always valid choices

its the adjacent tiles

[ivory bobcat]

I'm assuming this is a grid maze generation where there are corner cases with valid rooms that have been previously visited though.

[faint osprey]

yes it checks if the room going to next is adjacent or valid and if that room is the room we've been to before

[ivory bobcat]

So how many times should it try if there are no more valid/non-visited rooms?

[teal viper]

You can check that by looking at the array in the debugger.

[faint osprey]

well at the start of the code it generates how many rooms there will be and after that many rooms are spawned the code will stop

[teal viper]

What do you actually see in the debugger?

[ivory bobcat]

Unless you've got something prior that escapes if no neighbors are valid/un-visited

[faint osprey]

i saw that some of the valid rooms werent be turned to true even if they were valid

[teal viper]

Then you need to investigate the place where you expect them to be set to valid.

[faint osprey]

            downCheck = verticalChoice + 1;
            leftCheck = horizontalChoice - 1;
            rightCheck = horizontalChoice + 1;

            for(int a = 0; a < 3; a++)
            {
                for (int b = 0; b < 3; b++)
                {
                    roomsValid[a][b] = false;
                }
            }

            if (upCheck > -1)
            {
                roomsValid[upCheck][horizontalChoice] = true;
            }
            else if (downCheck < 3)
            {
                roomsValid[downCheck][horizontalChoice] = true;
            }
            else if (leftCheck > -1)
            {
                roomsValid[verticalChoice][leftCheck] = true;
            }
            else if (rightCheck < 3)
            {
                roomsValid[verticalChoice][rightCheck] = true;
            }``` which is here but that should work fine

[ivory bobcat]

Yeah. Maybe have a condition where after 100 attempts, it enters a section of code with the break point - couldn't imagine how many times he'd have to traverse before getting to the rooms with unwanted behavior.

[gaunt ice]

There is only one true valid room after each iteration

[teal viper]

Add an else in the end and put a breakpoint there. It's really simple...

[teal viper]

Isolate the condition that causes the issue and break in it. Easy.

Also what ティナsaid.

[ivory bobcat]

I'm guessing they're randomly picking rooms though and that the unwanted behavior occurs when no rooms meet the conditions to continue

[faint osprey]

what how

[teal viper]

You set all the rooms to false there. But only set to true one of them.

[faint osprey]

oh should they not be else if's

[teal viper]

Probably. We don't know the intention behind that code.

You should tell us.

[faint osprey]

ok that fixed it

thanks guys

[ivory bobcat]

Instead of randomly picking two sets of three numbers an unknown amount of times, maybe add the selectable rooms to a pre allocated list and randomize the order. You could then remove the first element until a valid element was found or escape when no more is available.
Note: to avoid allocation, just have a list with a capacity of 9 and clear it before adding the next set of rooms for testing.

[rotund vapor]

how would i make a trigger teleport an object to that trigger's y position when the object goes into that trigger?

[timber tide]

can use OnTriggerEnter or Spherecast an area

[polar acorn]

Basically, like that. Set the object's Y position to the trigger's Y position in OnTriggerEnter

[rotund vapor]

ok, thanks! 🙂

[vestal ether]

is this java or c#

[wintry quarry]

From this context alone impossible to tell. it's valid in both languages. Seeing as we're on the Unity server, very good chance it's C#.

[eternal siren]

does anyone have good documents on raycasting?

[frosty hound]

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Physics.Raycast.html

[eternal siren]

thx

[frosty hound]

Next time you can just use google, it will give you the official Unity docs.

EDIT: FOUND THE ANSWER ... Preferences -> Asset Pipeline -> Auto Refresh -> Enabled
(original problem.. I am not sure if this is the right place but... I just updated project to Unity Version 2022 and I noticed if I save a sprite in paint.net unity will not show the changes anymore until I run the game. Is there a way to see sprite changes even if the game isn't running again?)

[bold mica]

Anyone know why my SceneManager.LoadScene() isn't working in a built version of my game?

Pressing the start button works in the unity editor as expected, but once I build the project, that button just not longer works anymore. It seems to affect the buttons with a certain script onclick? as the other buttons work but i have no idea. Anyone have any pointers or possible fixes?

[wintry quarry]

in what way does it not work

does it respond to the mouse at all (tinting etc)? HAve you checked the log files?

putting a Debug.Log in there and seeing if it shows in the logs would be a good start

[bold mica]

cant check if it responds to the mouse because i disabled that

i will try a debug log real quick

[vestal ether]

What i was thinking, but I've never used c# so couldn't tell. Seems like java and c# r really similar though

[bold mica]

I have figured out the issue thanks for the response

[winter prawn]

What was the issue?

[bold mica]

basically

i was trying to save data and read data right

and i did that by writing and reading to a txt file

but on the built version, something was different I guess, and an exception was getting thrown whenever I tried to write to the file, because it didn't exist according to unity.

then because of that it didnt run the line under it, which was to load the next scene.

[magic fern]

Hello, I am new to unity and new to C#, I am trying to do simple first person movement and so far it was going good with a youtube tutorial using unity's imput system, the problem is that tho the video said it could also be used for 1st person games, the tutorial only focused on third person, and I dont know how to implement the 1st person camera and mouse imput into the script. Everything else works fine (jumping, moving and gravity)

these are immages of my code ^ (sorry for the mess)

and here an image of the imput actions

thank you in advance

[teal viper]

Look up a tutorial for a first person controller and switch between the 2 modes.

[magic fern]

so redo the whole thing?

cause I tried implementing the camera from a different video into my script and it didnt work

[teal viper]

No need to redo everything. Just add the first person logic additionally(maybe even in different script) and switch between them.

[magic fern]

Got it thanks

[gaunt harbor]

if (Physics.Raycast(Cam.transform.position, Cam.transform.TransformDirection(Vector3.forward), out hit, Range) && hit.transform.tag == "Enemy")

Does anyone know which of each code I can expand the detection area?

[summer stump]

Range is the length of the ray. But a ray is infinitely thin, so if you want to expand it outwards you want a different cast type

Like SphereCast

[teal viper]

I don't get what I want
Is very deep.🤯

[gaunt harbor]

LOL

I can't translate well into English

[teal viper]

I mean that's fine. It's a common problem in this channel anyway

The "don't get what I want" part

[gaunt harbor]

I'm curious about that code but I'll have to see.

[gaunt harbor]

It's super embarrassing when something thinks about something else, lol...

[teal viper]

That's fine. If you feel like you're not able to convey your thoughts, just use Google translate or something.

[gaunt harbor]

yeah : (

[dusty coral]

why

[north kiln]

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

[dusty coral]

how to ignore it?

[north kiln]

Don't ignore it. Physics.Raycast returns a boolean, act on the boolean and don't read hit if it's false

also, understand the value of stack traces and everything else in the troubleshooting section of that site, so you can see how obnoxious it is to provide an exception without showing the line numbers

[dusty coral]

but the raycast should only work if it hits an entity

[gaunt harbor]

I have a problem, simply when I paste the SphereCast code and it gives me errors, but I don't want to ruin all the codes.

[vital lintel]

Hello, Everyone. I was curious on what the best methods for saving, accessing, and modifying large amounts of text for a text based game would be. In this case, player makes a choice in the beginning of the game, and later down the line it'll display a certain text if the player chose option A, or a different one if they chose option B, etc. The game will be filled with such choices and differences. From what i found, hard coding it is probably not the best method and i was curious if there was a better way?

[undone rampart]

you are trying to access the hit variable which is null because the raycast was false, simply put the raycast function on an if statement

[dusty coral]

there's no errors anymore but it still cant recognize that the object is an entity

[north kiln]

How are you defining entity in your code

[dusty coral]

its just a layer mask

[north kiln]

A LayerMask is not a layer https://unity.huh.how/bitmasks

You'll have to use a plain int to represent a single layer

[dusty coral]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1068123867014504529.gif?size=48&name=blobnod&quality=lossless

why is the ui not snapping to the top left when i full screen?

[undone rampart]

there is actually no point of detecting the layer mask in that if, you can just put a mask on the raycast directly and it will only become true if hits the specified layer

[undone rampart]

you didnt anchor it

[eternal needle]

There definitely are reasons, like if you dont want to interact with something through a wall

[undone rampart]

thats a good point, but checking for a tag would be better in this case

[eternal needle]

A tag wouldnt do anything here, not really sure what you mean by that.

[undone rampart]

put a tag on the enemy and compare the tag of the gameobject hit by the raycast

[eternal needle]

Well yes I understood that part, but theres no difference in checking vs a layer here. I find using both layers and tags for the same purpose is awkward. since you are forced to use layers for physics, it's better to just stick with them

[undone rampart]

its a lot cleaner to compare a tag then compare a layer

like visually

[rich adder]

using tags and layers are different.
Also Using tags at all is ugly (working with strings)

[eternal needle]

I feel they're just talking about the logic being simpler? Not really a good justification for mixing the 2 systems

[undone rampart]

its basically

if (hit.collider.CompareTag("Enemy") {}

vs

if (hit.gameObject.layer == 3) { }

[rich adder]

if(hit.collider.TryGetComponent(out Enemy enemy))

[undone rampart]

and if you accidentally change the order of a layer that whole thing can break

[undone rampart]

thats also valid

[rich adder]

both are very fragile imo

remembering to put tags on things is a pain

[eternal needle]

The same can be said about the tags, if you change the string. But its insanely easy to just write one piece of code which stores the values for either. Regardless, you're talking about how the code looks which imo shouldnt even be a factor. You now mix 2 systems and anyone that helps on the project has to wonder what will use a tag and what will use a layer. When you want to use physics stuff for the object as well, are you gonna create a tag and a layer?

The GetComponent code as well works, but layer based is much faster.

[undone rampart]

personally, i use layers as filters and tags for detection

[eternal needle]

A raycast has both a filter and is used for detection, again mixing the systems

Or just any physics function in general like overlap or any cast

[undone rampart]

in that case i use both

¯_(ツ)_/¯

i filter the object hit by the cast with layers, then check whats what with tags

[rich adder]

that makes no sense, the tag check relies on the hit from raycast.
Also raycasts are def not expensive lol

[jaunty heath]

oh it doe not make any sense, i missed the using of HIT in the 2nd if.. facepalms hard nevermind me 😐

ill just delete that to be sure :p

[rich adder]

allgud just thought I'd point that out lol

[jaunty heath]

yea thank you, quite the blunder and might have caused a lot of confusion 😛

what is this "thinking first" y'all been talkin about? sigh 😛

[rich adder]

oh god too many drivers like this i deal with daily 😆

[jaunty heath]

SHAME! 🔔

[restive ore]

what do i do with unity, im completely new to coding not even a single time i code before

not my first time i tried Godot before it was easy man

There are resources pinned to this channel

[kindred halo]

playerVelocity.x = Mathf.Sqrt(hit.normal.y * playerSpeed);
I'm basically performing a wall jump
Whenever I press jump I want to jump on the wall's normal direction
But required argument is a float
Is while the normal is a vector
is this how I should be doing it?

[teal viper]

Hit normal y would be 0 for a vertical wall.

Wdym by "jump on the wall's normal direction"? If you just want to use the normal as the direction then set your velocity to it * speed.

[kindred halo]

you mean like this?
jumpVector = hit.normal * speed;

idk why the player just jumps up

[kindred halo]

lmao It works now

[kindred halo]

I have this timer which should give me air movement once it reaches 0
but It doesn't seem to happen
full code https://paste.ofcode.org/zqiyecMWszDDBN4LdfLvqc

[rich adder]

debug your values, also don't use == on floats

[dusty coral]

how to adjust animation loop interval?

[kindred halo]

what should I use?

[rich adder]

< > <= >=

or Mathf.Approximately

[rich adder]

clip the ending ?

not sure where the code question is

[flint estuary]

hello someone can help me i dont know i make the state machine for the enemy can someone can help me i need the enemy patrol the area after 5 secons the enemy make the animation of idle and patrol again when he see you chase after the player someone can help me with that?

[rich adder]

use an enum and Update and you're pretty much done

or coroutine is easier for timer

[flint estuary]

how i do that?

[rich adder]

you need a script

[late bobcat]

Hello there everybody, i've a question. I wanted to play the game i created in unity with my friends online. How should i do that? I can host the server on my pc if needed. Just wanted to try the game out with some friends

[frosty hound]

If you didn't make it multiplayer, it can't just be played multiplayer.

[rich adder]

its not that trivial

[flint estuary]

yep and i have that script but the idle state is only start and i have the walk but only the idle is start

[tepid summit]

Can i please get some help?
The issue/problem: 'GameObject' does not contain a definition for 'canMove' and no accessible extension method 'canMove' accepting a first argument of type 'GameObject'.
My Code (watch out its a long one):

    public GameObject CoilyBoily;
    public float speed = 20f;
    float xRotation = 0f;
    

    public LayerMask layerMask;
    
    void Start()
    {
        Cursor.lockState = CursorLockMode.Locked;
        CoilyBoily = GameObject.GetComponent<CoilyBoily>();
    }

    void Update()
    {
        float xAxis = Input.GetAxis("Mouse X") * speed * Time.deltaTime;
        float yAxis = Input.GetAxis("Mouse Y") * speed/2f * Time.deltaTime;
        xRotation -= yAxis;
        xRotation = Mathf.Clamp(xRotation, -90f, 90f);
        Mathf.Clamp(yAxis, -90, 90);
        player.Rotate(0f, xAxis, 0f);
        transform.localRotation = Quaternion.Euler(xRotation, 0f, 0f);
    }
    void FixedUpdate()
    {
        RaycastHit hit;
        if (Physics.Raycast(transform.position, transform.TransformDirection(Vector3.forward), out hit, Mathf.Infinity, layerMask))
        {
            CoilyBoily.canMove = false;
        }
        else
        {
            CoilyBoily.canMove = true;
        }
    }```

[rich adder]

show script. use links

[flint estuary]

can i show you images

[rich adder]

GameObject doesn't have canMove property init

[tepid summit]

its a bool on my script

[rich adder]

pretty sure you wanted CoilyBoily not GameObject

[late bobcat]

mm, what am i missing. It's a simple 2d soccer game, what do i need to do in order to make it multiplayer?

[frosty hound]

You've declared your CoilyBoily variable as type GameObject. You probably want it to be of type CoilyBoily considering that's what you GetComponent<> in your Start function.

[tepid summit]

correct

[rich adder]

so declare it properly

The entire multiplayer framework. There is no magic button to just add "what you're missing". You need to integrate multiplayer from the very start. Unity has their Netcode for GameObjects you can use.

[tepid summit]

ok now its
An object reference is required for the non-static field, method, or property 'GameObject.GetComponent<CoilyBoily>()'

[late bobcat]

@frosty hound https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=stJ4SESQwJQ that's what i'm looking for i think?

[tepid summit]

personally i use Alteruna

[flint estuary]

thats the scripts because i dont know how i put links

[tepid summit]

its free

[rich adder]

what editor is that...also what did i say about using link

[rich adder]

copy n paste it

its not rocket science

[late bobcat]

@tepid summit do you have some sort of tutorial to set it up?

[frosty hound]

That's a start, yes

[rich adder]

no dude, click the links in the bot message

[tepid summit]

alteruna?

[late bobcat]

yep sir

[tepid summit]

i can help you

[flint estuary]

idk

[late bobcat]

would be great

[tepid summit]

ok

import it to your project and come back to me

[tepid summit]

my error message changed

[rich adder]

the error tells you whats wrong

[tepid summit]

i dont understand the error

here

[hexed terrace]

GameObject is the type/ class
gameObject is the property

However, you can just do CoilyBoily = GetComponent<CoilyBoily>();

[tepid summit]

right

so what do you suggest

[rich adder]

they just told you..
