[ionic zephyr]

how can I make my character NOT to move Diagonally (I use GetAxisRaw)

[unkempt tree]

check which one is higher set the other to zero

[ionic zephyr]

yeah, I did that but the problem is that when setting an IDLE Animation (if movement vector == 0) everytime I switch from moving upwards to downwards or to the right and then left the IDLE Animation triggers

if (_xvalue == 1 || _xvalue == -1)
{
_yvalue = 0;
}
else if (_yvalue == 1 || _yvalue == -1)
{
_xvalue = 0;
}

this is my code

(between _xvalue and _xvalue there is an "or"

and the same with yvalue

between the switch of _xvalue = 1 to _xvalue = -1 it passes through zero

hey guys, just wondering is Network ID in a network behaviour always the ID of the owner of said object?

[wintry quarry]

no it's the network id of the object itself

[lost kelp]

hi, im not really sure which channel to ask this in but im struggling with my code inheriting from an interface after inheriting from monobehaviour

[wintry quarry]

interfaces are implemented not inherited

show your code and the problem you're having

[lost kelp]

im just trying to make a save/load system and theres no errors on visual studio but on unity it says i can't have multiple base classes

[wintry quarry]

iData is a class then, not an interface

[wintry quarry]

Show the error in Unity

[wintry quarry]

Also you should have errirs in VS since you didn't actually implement the interface

my guess would be you have another script

and you're defining class iData in it

[slender nymph]

the interface methods have default implementations so they don't actually need to be implemented

[wintry quarry]

ohh yes

yeah they shouldn't have that

it should just be void LoadData(GameData data); for example

[lost kelp]

ohh okay thank you

[wind raptor]

Looking for some project guidance.

I have a Unity Windows build that is connected to several microcontrollers over serial ports. I would like other devices (PCs, tablets, phones) on the same local network to be able to access a simple UI to see some variables states and send commands to the main application.

My thought was to have my main application, on startup, deploy a locally hosted Webgl build of an application containing said UI.

Given how simple this should be (I hope), what path would you recommend for handling the networking? Am I on the right path regarding the locally hosted Webgl build? If I ever wanted to access the UI from a different network, how could that be accomplished?

Thanks in advance for any pointers.

[night adder]

Having an issue with the C# Dev Kit, the error is below but it seems I just dont have the right SDK version, my issue is that I can't find documentation anywhere on what version I need, where could I find this at?

The current workspace is using a new version of .NET SDK '8.0.101', which is not supported by current .NET runtime used by the extension. Some functions may not work correctly. This may happen when global.json is changed, or new SDK installation after the workspace is opened. Reloading the workspace may fix the problem.

[teal viper]

Where do you see that error?

[teal viper]

"locally hosted WebGL build" doesn't make sense in the context of networking. Maybe you mean a locally hosted server build? And WebGL client builds that connect to it on each of the connected devices?

[night adder]

It pops up in the bottom right as a little box whenever I launch VSC

[night adder]

Thanks!

[wind raptor]

I'm kind of at the "don't know what I don't know" stage here, but yes I believe that is what I'm after. so I guess I need my main application to host a server for the Webgl clients to connect to it, but I think I also need a (separate?) server so that my devices on the network can open the webgl application. Or am I getting things mixed up

[teal viper]

Unity WebGL build creates a standalone app that can run locally. It's just that it is usually hosted on a static website to be downloaded and run by a user. It can distributed in any other way too.

So, if you want to distribute it via a link(i.e. just open a link in a browser to launch a client), then yeah, you'd need to host the WebGL build somewhere in a addition to your actual app server.

[wind raptor]

For what I'm trying to accomplish (simple UI on other devices providing I/O to the main application), is this a reasonable path forward? Alternative, easier suggestions?

[teal viper]

Yes, but if that's all you need, then maybe a simple web app(node js, python, c# blazor or asp) would be more appropriate.

[wind raptor]

Appreciate it. I already have the UI created within Unity, so part of me prefers the idea of figuring out the webgl angle. Plus I have zero webdev experience. But yeah, it does seem like the more logical path.

[small mantle]

How can I reference a sub class in a script?

[teal viper]

Same as a non sub class.

[small mantle]

Can you show a simple example please?

[teal viper]

[SerializeField] private SubClass subClassInstance;

or

public SubClass subClassInstance;

The latter one is a bad practice that I recommend to avoid.

[small mantle]

I did that. It doesn't show up in inspector? @teal viper

[teal viper]

Is the class serializable?

[wintry quarry]

That means it's not serializable or derived from UnityEngine.Object.

Or you have compile errors

[grizzled pagoda]

        Debug.Log(other.gameObject.layer);
        if(other.gameObject.layer == 7){
            HealthPoints = HealthPoints - 1;
            Debug.Log("Zombie HealthPoints: " + HealthPoints);
        }
        else if(other.gameObject.layer == 6){
            speed = 0f;
        }
        else{
            speed = 10f;
            Debug.Log("skibbidi");
        }
    }```

hi, why is my speed not turning to 10 even when the if statements are not true?

[polar acorn]

Do you get your log

[grizzled pagoda]

nope

[polar acorn]

Then that code never runs

[grizzled pagoda]

yeah but why?

is it indentation or smth

theres nothing else that changes speed either

[polar acorn]

This object is never colliding with an object on a layer other than 6 or 7

[grizzled pagoda]

oh

yeah haha

damn it was so obvious

i added speed =10f to update

[small mantle]

I forgot that, I'll try. Thank you!

[minor spindle]

Would it be best to have a script for Player and a script for Sword, or to handle both in one script?

[calm coral]

if(Physics.Raycast(
    new Vector3(mouse.position.value.x, mouse.position.value.y, -5),
    Vector3.forward,
    out RaycastHit hitInfo,
    10))
{
  // do stuff
}
```Hey, is this raycast going to detect my collider even if it's a 2D collider?

[rich adder]

nope

they're completely different physics engines

[calm coral]

Okay, should I then put a 3D box collider on my flat object?

[rich adder]

depends what you're doing, or use 2D raycast?

3d colliders on sprite is normal, unity is 3D anyway

[calm coral]

Well, I wanted to but the thing is I want to raycast perpendicularly to the plane

And I don't see an option to raycast from the camera perspective through the plane to get where the player is clicking (raycasting)

[wintry quarry]

You want Physics2D.GetRayIntersection and Camera.ScreenPointToRay

[calm coral]

Camera.ScreenPointToRay
Will that raycast from the cursor? Or always from the center of the camera?

[wintry quarry]

It uses any screen position you give it

[gaunt ice]

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Camera.ScreenPointToRay.html

[wintry quarry]

Use it with the mouse position if you want it where the mouse is

[calm coral]

Okay, quick testing and I almost got it, I did a mistake by taking mouse x and y coords instead of that camera screen point, thanks a lot!

[teal viper]

One of the basic princples of OOP is single responsibility principle. Applied to C# and unity it means that one script should be responsible for one functionality alone.

That is if you're interested in writing good code.

[minor spindle]

For now I'm more concerned about writing working code 😅

[teal viper]

Well, then it doesn't matter much. Although good code can lead to a working code faster or to a proper working code, that is more resilient to bugs.

[minor spindle]

True but a novice like me won't be able to write good code yet hahaha

one day though

[teal viper]

you could at least try

Otherwise there's no point in your original question.

[minor spindle]

Good point

[calm coral]

Ray a = Camera.main.ScreenPointToRay(new(mouse.position.value.x, mouse.position.value.y));
RaycastHit2D hitInfo = Physics2D.GetRayIntersection(a, 10);
if(hitInfo.collider.gameObject.CompareTag("Card"))
{
    // ...
}
```Great, this piece of code works for me, thanks again! ![PepeHappy](https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/822677090217230397.webp?size=128 "PepeHappy")

With box collider 3D it also worked earlier but this works for a 2D box collider

[minor spindle]

Very well, your advice has been heeded

in oncollisionstay

[cosmic dagger]

Why are your numbers so large? waittime is 5000 seconds?

[grizzled pagoda]

cuz its per tick and updated in update

[teal viper]

frames

very bad idea though

[cosmic dagger]

Also, you're adding to delay and eatdelay without using deltaTime . . .

[teal viper]

Unless you have fixed frame rate in the game

[cosmic dagger]

You should work using time, not frames . . .

[grizzled pagoda]

yeah idk how to use time, ive used frames so far

i thought the only way to use time was enumerating

[cosmic dagger]

If someone lags, it's game over. All their values are f!@#ed . . .

[teal viper]

10000 frames on 60 fps is around 166 sec, so around 3 minutes.

[teal viper]

So, perhaps, you just didn't wait enough

[grizzled pagoda]

so how to i use deltatime?

[cosmic dagger]

You should add or multiply values in Update by deltaTime . . .

[grizzled pagoda]

and deltatime is real time right

[teal viper]

the timer also needs to be a float then

[teal viper]

It's the time between the frames.

I think you should go do some basics learning.
!learn

[eternal falcon]

:teacher: Unity Learn ↗

Over 750 hours of free live and on-demand learning content for all levels of experience!

[cosmic dagger]

No, it's the time taken between the last frame and the current frame . . .

[grizzled pagoda]

oh okay

and my delay counters should be multiplied by deltatime?

and how would i know how much deltat time is

[cosmic dagger]

Technically, an average between the previous frames, and yada, yada, yada. . .

[teal viper]

It's not an average. it's actually the time passed from the last frame.

[cosmic dagger]

No, deltaTime is added or subtracted from delay (depends if you're counting up or down) . . .

[cosmic dagger]

Yeah, but there's a bit more to it than that. That's the simple way to explain it . . .

[grizzled pagoda]

 eatdelay = eatdelay + deltatime;```

[cosmic dagger]

As dlich mentioned, I'd watch a quick tutorial explaining how to use deltaTime . . .

[grizzled pagoda]

okay

[cosmic dagger]

It's crucial when changing values in Update . . .

[dark sluice]

so im making a mc clone and have a script set up for basic chunk spawning the world generation with a simple grass, dirt, and stone blocks, for some reason im getting a layer of nothing under my grass blocks and above the dirt blocks, if i share my generation script could someone help out? this is just for a fun lil side project with a friend

[teal viper]

You should definitely share code.
What is supposed to be where the "layer of nothing" is?

[dark sluice]

its supposed to be grass/ random 1-2 blocks of dirt/ then the rest stone, fairly simple idk why its buggin

Well, if there's an empty layer, it probably enters the else block that doesn't spawn anything.

If I assume that there are more problems(like missing reference), then there are more possible causes.

Use the debugger to debug that code.

[shell herald]

OnDIsable is the last thing that gets called if either the script or the gameobject its on is deactivated right?

[charred spoke]

Yep

[teal viper]

Unless you call something else in the script.

[shell herald]

and im guessing OnEnable is the polar opposite to that?

[teal viper]

activated state only affects some unity callbacks.

[teal viper]

OnEnable can be called in the middle between awake and start I think.

https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/ExecutionOrder.html

[charred spoke]

But if awake and start have already been called then yes. OnEnable will be first

these r my camera and moment scripts can anyone tell me why my camera is also rotating when i press a and d

these r my configs

ping me on reply

[paper rover]

Is anyone able to help me figure out why I am getting GC Alloc from my camera? I only have one camera and am getting GC Alloc every frame

[teal viper]

Probably because your vCamera follows the rb and you rotate it with A and D

[sonic dome]

i did the same thing in my last project but it was working prefectly

[ivory bobcat]

Line 24 of the camera movement script rotates the camera relative to the "Horizontal" axis which also includes a and d.

[sonic dome]

oo

okk

let me

try

[ivory bobcat]

Assuming orientation is the camera object

[sonic dome]

orientation is a child of the rotating body

[ivory bobcat]

Is it the camera object?

[sonic dome]

no

[teal viper]

Does it allocate in a build as well?

[ivory bobcat]

What is the move script attached to?

[paper rover]

I'm not sure how to use profiler using the build, im a bit new to that

[teal viper]

Time to learn then. Pretty sure it's covered in the profiler manual.

[sonic dome]

the player object

capsule

[ivory bobcat]

Line 23 rotates the object with the script (camera script). Was that what you wanted?

[sonic dome]

its like a free cam

like in rpgs

[ivory bobcat]

It rotates the object with the script attached

[sonic dome]

line 23?

[ivory bobcat]

transform.rotation = Quaternion.Euler(xRotation,yRotation,0);

[sonic dome]

doesn't it rotate the object its attached to?

[ivory bobcat]

That's what I said

[sonic dome]

ya so thats what i want

[ivory bobcat]

If it's attached to the camera it'll rotate the camera

So a and d will rotate the camera

[sonic dome]

i want to move in any direction irrespective of the camera

[ivory bobcat]

It doesn't move, it rotates

[sonic dome]

ya my bad

i meant rotate

[ivory bobcat]

So you found the problem

[teal viper]

Then I don't think you got the right vcam body. Pretty sure the one you have selected rotates with the followed object.

[sonic dome]

see i removed the 24th line which rotated the orientation

[ivory bobcat]

Your camera rotates because of that line (23)

[sonic dome]

yea but i want it to rotate

[ivory bobcat]

why does my camera also rotate

[sonic dome]

yea

cz

i want my cam to be rotated with my mouse

and my player with a and d

[sonic dome]

and yea this makes sense cuz i follow the object which rotates so maybe when i rotate the object the camera follows that as well is there a way to change that?

[ivory bobcat]

Ah, right. Mouse X and not Horizontal

I'm not sure then

[teal viper]

It is.

[sonic dome]

why did it work in my last project it still does even rn 😭

[teal viper]

Configure your vcam properly.

Might want to look at cinemachine tutorials

[sonic dome]

wait let me show u my last project

[teal viper]

You probably want to use free view camera(or whatever it was called) instead of a plain vcam.

[teal viper]

Also, expanding the "body" drop-down might give more clues.

[sonic dome]

and the scripts were the same

[sonic dome]

okk let me see

[ivory bobcat]

Unless it's a child of the object with the movement script, have referenced the wrong object or have attached the movement script to the camera object as well.. I'm not sure.

[sonic dome]

why does it work here 😭

[teal viper]

Did you inspect the body properties of the vcam..?

[sonic dome]

yes

[teal viper]

and..?

[sonic dome]

i couldnt find anything like i get it that cuz the should transfom is rotating the camera rotates with it where as in the other project it doesnt

[ivory bobcat]

Does "following" refer to orientation as well?

[sonic dome]

so i m kinda confused

[sonic dome]

yes

[ivory bobcat]

Or does it just move towards the object?

[north kiln]

It does nothing unless the body or aim are set to refer to it afaik

[ivory bobcat]

If it stays directly behind the object that's being followed, it'll rotate with the object?

[north kiln]

Depends entirely on the Aim

[sonic dome]

wait

i found a difference

the aim was set to

do nothing

in the other project

let me try now

still doesnt work it rotates with the rigidbody 😭

[ivory bobcat]

Show us the inspector for your capsule.

[teal viper]

The issue is definitely with your vcam setup

[sonic dome]

yea

[teal viper]

Maybe you should share the details of the vcam with it's properties expanded, as you never did that...

[teal viper]

And in the orher project?

[sonic dome]

i checked in both the projects the should object is rotating in both

[ivory bobcat]

So you've got any other script in any other object that we should be aware of?

[sonic dome]

https://pastebin.com/7Pu0QW69
https://pastebin.com/PiNa6NZM
these r the scripts used in other project

[ivory bobcat]

I'm referring to this project with the capsule

[sonic dome]

nope

[ivory bobcat]

So no other objects have any other scripts attached to them?

[sonic dome]

nope

i just have 2 scripts as of now

[teal viper]

Okay. Can you record a video of what happens at runtime with the vcam selected and visible in the inspector?

[ivory bobcat]

I'm referring to objects with script components attached to them.

[sonic dome]

sure wait

[sonic dome]

yes thats all

[ivory bobcat]

You don't have the camera script attached to some other object referencing the vcam, do you?

[shell herald]

not quite understanding this. i want a sound to play, every time a button is selected. right now i have this and its not working

[sonic dome]

no

[teal viper]

@sonic domewhat's that line 24 for?

Can you comment it out and try again?

[sonic dome]

well i took this script from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f473C43s8nE&t=288s and as of now i felt like i dont need that line so i removed it from my current project cuz i dont want the shoulder to rotate

[sonic dome]

i have done that

[sonic dome]

no wait apparently i did that

and it bugged everthing

wait let me show u

[ivory bobcat]

Define bugged?

[ivory bobcat]

If it can't be described with words then a video may be fine but most of these could probably just be better described.. we'll likely not even know what we're looking at.

[sonic dome]

when i do that my mouse stop rotating the cam as well

[teal viper]

I think the answer to your issue has to do with the Shoulder object and the references to it. Can you confirm if these 2 reference the same object?

And also take a screenshot of it's position/orientation in both of the projects?

[sonic dome]

okk

[teal viper]

Does it throw an error? Otherwise, is the method executred at all?

[ivory bobcat]

So, simply by deducing we have confirmed that the line allows you to rotate by both mouse y and key (a and d). Did you perhaps change anything inside the input manager?

[sonic dome]

i m using old input system

[teal viper]

Why is it offsetted like that in the left project?

on the right it only has offset on the y axis

[sonic dome]

no spfic reason in one case i just changed that from the x y z damping in the virtual cam 3rd person follow

[teal viper]

Make it the same as in the other project and test

[sonic dome]

okk

well

tbh

i think i should just make my own camera script

that will fix everthing

[junior finch]

Hey is there something wrong here that I am not seeing

[teal viper]

What makes you think so?

I'd say that naming conventions are wrong, but I don't think that's what you're looking for..?

[junior finch]

well I am trying to make the button change color on click

[summer stump]

Why have isPressed at all?
You already have GetMouseButtonDown

[junior finch]

a problem i have that i've accepted

[junior finch]

I have it there cause i thought one wasn't working

[gaunt ice]

no idea why you query your input in update loop but not doing in on mouse down

[teal viper]

Can we actually get the details on what you're trying to fix?

Or is it a quiz?

[junior finch]

nah, just a learning kind of thing. I want to see if i can change the color of another game object from this one when i click it. I can do i on that object itself but i want to see if i can do it from here cause something i want to implement might depend on it

[teal viper]

So, what is not working..?

[junior finch]

well the color does not change

[teal viper]

Great. You should've started the very first message from that sentence, instead of expecting other people to guess.

And you've already been answered by several people about possible causes.

[junior finch]

well i originally went through most of those but "why you query your input in update loop but not doing in on mouse down" is something i might not have tried

Its still not working

could it be an attaching issue?

[teal viper]

Start from sharing more details. A screenshot of the object that has the script, the latest code, debugging attempts so far.

[junior finch]

this is how I have attached

[gaunt ice]

have you tried debug.log if the on mouse down is executed

you should try first and read the api description
https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/MonoBehaviour.OnMouseDown.html

[teal viper]

Your desired color is fully transparent btw. Is that what you want?

[junior finch]

the area is pretty dark, i've tested it with something else i can see it

[junior finch]

I have noticed it does not send any logs

so the button is just not getting clicked

[vale bronze]

is it possible to detect collisions between a collider that has isTrigger enabled and one that doesnt?

[teal viper]

Where did you put the debug logs?

[junior finch]

in on mouse down

[teal viper]

Yes, if one of them has a rigidbody.

[teal viper]

Then it is not being called indeed.

[vale bronze]

thanks. can the rigidbody be on either or specifically the istrigger one?

[teal viper]

Might want to check the docs to see how it's supposed to work:
https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/MonoBehaviour.OnMouseDown.html

[teal viper]

It can be on either.

[vale bronze]

ok last question: would I use oncollision or ontrigger?

[teal viper]

Refer to the manual for more info:
https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/collider-types-interaction.html

[vale bronze]

thanks

[teal viper]

Whichever suits you.

Depends on what object you want to receive the message on.

[timber tide]

I think it makes more sense to have the rigidbody on the character and the trigger on the object to trigger

can just use IsTrigger on anything anywhere if you don't care for collisional events

Greetings, I have small issue, my IDE debugger evaluates a condition true, but in the code debugging, the if is skipped as if it went false.

else if (eventData.button == PointerEventData.InputButton.Left && toggleDrawUI.isOn)

this is the code, I pasted same code to my watched variables to IDE

its true

yet it never gets into the nested part of code inside the if

and no, it is not caught by previous else ifs

[gaunt ice]

is this whole thing eventData.button == PointerEventData.InputButton.Left && toggleDrawUI.isOn true

[long scarab]

yes

well IDE says it is and from what I can see I clicked left button and the toggle is on

[gaunt ice]

show the screenshot?

sure one sec, have to get to the program state

well

now it suddenly works

but until I added a new line inside the if condition, it didnt

maybe some compilation bug idk

yup now it works after I added one new line to the nested brackets of if

Could it be that unity somehow catched old code or something?

hi, im facing a problem using raycast as when i do the raycast on a object with the rigidbody it works and but when i make the rigid body is kinametic or freeze loc and rot it dont and also trigger dont work is there any workaround through which i can use raycast and also make the object stay in air and not acting to player?

[hard hornet]

show the code

[obsidian parcel]

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

namespace InteractorSystem
{
    public class InteractionSystem : MonoBehaviour
    {
        [SerializeField] Transform orientation;
        public bool canInteract = true;

        private void Update()
        {
            if(Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.E) && canInteract)
            {
                
                RaycastHit hit;
                
                if(Physics.Raycast(transform.position + (orientation.forward), orientation.forward, out hit,100))
                {
                    Debug.Log("Debug");
                    Interactor interactObject = hit.collider.gameObject.GetComponent<Interactor>();
                    if (interactObject != null)
                    {
                        interactObject.OnInteract();
                        canInteract = false;
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

[hard hornet]

why transform.position + (orientation.forward) as ray origin?

[obsidian parcel]

i thought its colliding with the player so i started the location one vector

[hard hornet]

you could use layers for that

[eternal needle]

3d raycasts by default do not hit the object they spawn inside of. Also I have no clue what your question is asking tbh, rigidbody has nothing to do with raycast

Use debug.drawray to visualize your raycasts

[long scarab]

okay, its happening again 😐

you see the condition is true but on next step it just goes after the if

I am now optimising the ifs anyway cause its a mess I did just to test if it works at all

[obsidian parcel]

got the problem as i am taking the players transform.forward so its not hitting the object

it works now

[eternal needle]

What button were you pressing to go to the next step? You may have just been pressing the wrong thing and it hitting the next breakpoint. If you put a debug.log inside the if statement does it show up in the unity console?

[long scarab]

well yes

but then the object would instantiate

if I skipped the code in debug but it happened

I usually use step over btw

Sorry for bothering you guys

this just seem like some non deterministic s*it to me 😄

[eternal needle]

Step into will execute line by line I believe, I might be misremembering the exact buttons, not on my pc atm.

[odd valley]

If I wanted to make a text sprite in 2D, how would I make one without using canvas?

[long scarab]

actually step over does, I debugged many times line by line

worst thing is that when I changed a line in the code, it worked, and now it doesnt again, havent touched the IFs tho

seems like the file is somewhat corrupted or something

[eternal needle]

Step over will skip over functions at least, not entirely sure what happening in your case tbh. Maybe try recreating it on a different file, could just be a bug.

[long scarab]

yeah probably

thanks for efforts tho!

[eternal needle]

Also you dont need to use Instantiate for a new gameobject. Using the constructor will spawn the object in your world

You might be spawning 2 objects because of it

[long scarab]

nah it spawns one

I havent made constructors for this class yet

[wintry quarry]

Instantiate(new GameObject()) definitely spawns two objects

[eternal needle]

Im talking about the ctor for game object

One will spawn with no parent, then you instantiate another under the parent

[long scarab]

let me check then

nope

it spawned one GameObj

[wintry quarry]

One of them won't have a parent

[long scarab]

ooh

I see another one at top of hierarchy now

how to make empty GameObj then?

[wintry quarry]

new GameObject()

[eternal needle]

You just use the constructor, remove the instantiate function. Or use instantiate and make a prerab

[long scarab]

(I always used prefabs to spawn objects until now)

[wintry quarry]

I think you should use a prefab here idk why you're not

Also I don't understand how you're doing GetComponent<Meshrenderer>() on it since it clearly won't have one

[long scarab]

it does have one

[wintry quarry]

Doesn't that cause an NRE?

[long scarab]

nope, it works fine

I havent used prefab cause I didnt wanted another attribute 😄

[wintry quarry]

How could it have one? Didn't you just create an empty object?

[long scarab]

when its so simple GameObj

[wintry quarry]

Without a renderer?

[long scarab]

wanted to just generate it

nope, it creates an object with meshfilter and meshrenderer

[wintry quarry]

How?

[long scarab]

its made via [RequireComponent(typeof(MeshFilter))]
[RequireComponent(typeof(MeshRenderer))]

[wintry quarry]

I thought RequireComponent only works when creating the object in the editor

[long scarab]

could be

making a prefab

😄

[wintry quarry]

Oh actually I just checked the documentation

It does work with AddComponent

That's a new one for me, TIL. I'd still just use a prefab

[arctic ibex]

Does anyone know what I can do to fix this? I've restarted the game, and checked the prefab, but i can't figure out how to fix it

[long scarab]

yup, its simply that I wanted to learn if I can make such simple GameObj from scratch

[wintry quarry]

You have another copy of the script where it's not assigned

[arctic ibex]

Oh. How does that work?

[north kiln]

you created a second version

and you didn't assign the script

[wintry quarry]

Wdym? Very simple. Your script can be attached to many different objects

[arctic ibex]

Theres no second version here

[north kiln]

In the scene

[wintry quarry]

Not another cs code file. Just another object with the same script attached

[arctic ibex]

there is only one object in this scene that has that script

[wintry quarry]

• that you remember

[arctic ibex]

if there were more I would have checked all of them

[north kiln]

Can you search your scene for the script

[arctic ibex]

how?

[north kiln]

Search in the hierarchy window's search box

[wintry quarry]

It's also possible you're referencing the prefab somewhere and trying to call a function on the prefab itself

t:chicken in the hierarchy search

[north kiln]

don't even need to the t: unless you have objects with the same name too 😄

[arctic ibex]

Only one

as i said

[north kiln]

Well, you had never searched, apparently

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

[wintry quarry]

Click on the error and show the full stack trace

[wintry quarry]

Doesn't this GameObject fellowpoultry = GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag("chicken"); imply there are multiple chickens in the scene?

My guess you are spawning chickens in at runtime

[arctic ibex]

This is the code I use for all chickens, throughout the different scenes

[wintry quarry]

And the prefab doesn't have the animator assigned

[arctic ibex]

yes it does

[north kiln]

(particle system, but yes too)

[wintry quarry]

Also that code makes little sense since it will likely just find itself

[arctic ibex]

both

[wintry quarry]

Show your chicken prefab

[arctic ibex]

It's my first attempt to actually make something that's not flappy bird, the codes a bit wierd

[wintry quarry]

I bet it's not assigned on the prefab especially since it was an override in the scene

[arctic ibex]

This is the script component on the prefab

also imnot spawning any other chickens in this scene

[north kiln]

you don't use chicken 2?

[arctic ibex]

they spawn in a different scene

[arctic ibex]

what?

[north kiln]

Seems like you have a number of chicken prefabs

I would check them all, and check your assumptions about what's spawning when

[arctic ibex]

There is a second prefab that is a diffenent colour, with some slightly different variables

[north kiln]

and presumably bebe1 and 2 are also chickens

[arctic ibex]

the second chicken prefab also has everything assigned

bebe1&2 both have it assigned

[north kiln]

At this point, break out the debugger

[arctic ibex]

How do I do that?

[languid spire]

one thing we haven't seen. The chicken script from the scene

[north kiln]

apparently it's fine, and they seem adamant about things

[languid spire]

hmmm, heard that before

[arctic ibex]

Like the inspector fo rthe component? i sent that at the start

in the first message

[languid spire]

where?

[arctic ibex]

Here, theres three images attached

[north kiln]

Damn, discord hides the other two from me

[arctic ibex]

Yeah same, its a bit odd

[languid spire]

I only see one

[arctic ibex]

You gotta click on it and hit the arrow

[languid spire]

Damn I hate that 'feature'

Ok, the only think I can think of is that there are multiple chicken scripts on the prefab or scene object

[sonic dome]

https://pastebin.com/m7N8B3SX is there any specific reason why the camera doest look up down just left right?

[north kiln]

Just a note to not scale mouse delta by deltaTime

[sonic dome]

makes sense

wait

done

[wintry quarry]

You likely screwed up the hierarchy somehow. Either put the script on the wrong object or the camera or something

[sonic dome]

maybe cuz this script is on the virtual cam which follows the player?

[wintry quarry]

Show the hierarchy and which components are on which objects

[sonic dome]

nvm

fixed it

[rapid valve]

I have script to make the character move but the character will net move

how do I fix this

and it has a animation

[north kiln]

You should configure your !ide before proceeding

[eternal falcon]

💡 IDE Configuration

If your IDE is not autocompleting code
or underlining errors, please configure it.

Select one:

• Visual Studio (Installed via Unity Hub)
• Visual Studio (Installed manually)
• VS Code
• JetBrains Rider
• Other/None

[sonic dome]

i think u need to add a float speed and then multiply that with movement direction

[north kiln]

Certainly is a problem that the axes are named differently; presumably there's warnings in the console. However, it needs to be addressed after the IDE is configured

[rapid valve]

I configured my ide do I just have to add a float speed now

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1uW-GbHrtQc

Is this a good script to use

after I configured my ide

[north kiln]

Look at the console window and address any errors/warnings in it, because this certainly isn't correct

[rapid valve]

it gave this error

[sonic dome]

Personally as a beginner myself I prefer rigid body instead of character controller

[rapid valve]

what is the diffrent between rigid body and character controller ?

[sonic dome]

Rigid body is easier to use as u can use the unity Phys system and ig in character controller u have to do a lot by yourself like even for gravity u need to add a force pushing yourself down

[rapid valve]

how do I do that then

[wintry quarry]

You're getting way ahead of yourself

Fix your basic errors first before overhauling your whole system

[rapid valve]

ok

but I am not sure how I identify the error

[wintry quarry]

The error tells you exactly what's wrong.Vertx pointed you at the spot. Compare what you have there with the tutorial

[sonic dome]

Did u config your vs code or whatever u use?

[rapid valve]

no

[sonic dome]

Well that would help

And also just cross check the spelling vertx pointed from the video

[rapid valve]

this is the video that I copying from

[sonic dome]

Ya so do u see the difference?

[wintry quarry]

You should consider writing your code the same as the video

[rapid valve]

I am trying to do that

[north kiln]

try harder

[sonic dome]

Do u see it now?

[rapid valve]

yes

[sonic dome]

🔥🔥🔥

[rapid valve]

I did it correctly but the player will still won't move the animation kinda makes him move

[sonic dome]

Send your code

[tiny bloom]

anyway I can change these rules? I want it to be _ and not camelCase

[rapid valve]

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

public class PlayerMovement : MonoBehaviour
{
public float speed;
// Start is called before the first frame update
void Start()
{

}

// Update is called once per frame
void Update()
{
    float horizontalInput = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal");
    float verticalInput = Input.GetAxis("Vertical");

    Vector3 movementDirection = new Vector3(horizontalInput, 0, verticalInput);

    transform.Translate(movementDirection * speed * Time.deltaTime);
}

}

[sonic dome]

Did u add a value to speed from unity inspector?

[rapid valve]

ok I set the speed the problem is just the animation won't stay in place

how do I fix that

[sonic dome]

Did u download the animation from mixamo?

[rapid valve]

yes

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RsyJ3piigiQ

[sonic dome]

There is an option "in place" u have to check it before downloading

[rapid valve]

I used this video

there is no in place

[sonic dome]

Select the animation 1st

[warm stag]

Hey guys, I'm following a tutorial online and made two scripts. There are no errors within the Visual Code and I'm like 99,99% sure I don't have any typo there or anything, I checked the code so many times that my head hurts now lol. Unity is giving me:

Assets\Scripts\Hit Components\HitBox.cs(9,23): error CS0246: The type or namespace name 'HitData' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

But in the code itself HitData is properly defined and even Visual Studio knows where it is defined and where it is used etc. (I tried typing HitData with a typo just to test this and instantly I get the error in Visual Code, but there are no errors otherwise) So it seems like Unity can't communicate properly with the script files for some reason?

Here is the HurtBox.cs that defines public struct HitData: https://hastebin.com/share/owuquzenoq.csharp
And here is the HitBox.cs that gives the error: https://hastebin.com/share/exatirorih.csharp

I also attach the screenshot of my project folder to see the hierarchy.

[north kiln]

Do you get error highlighting and autocomplete in VS Code generally?

[rapid valve]

I did

[north kiln]

It sounds like you do, sorry. You have definitely saved?

[sonic dome]

there would be a check box of in place

[warm stag]

I do, Intellisense is working now etc. if I do anything wrong I can see it, it was quite helpful getting typos right and missing whatnots... But now it thinks the script is fine

[rapid valve]

ok how do i remove the character

[sonic dome]

which character? ss

[rapid valve]

the one that I took a pic of

[keen dew]

You could try moving HitData to its own file. Sometimes Unity only sees the MonoBehaviour class

[sonic dome]

u havent selected the animation

just select the animation

skin doesnt matter

[rapid valve]

and download it ?

[sonic dome]

no

check in place 1st

is there any way i can compare this hit with a layer?

ignore the 1st vector3.back parameter

[static bay]

When you say compare, do you mean only check for colliders on a specific layer? Cause if so, yes.

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

[sonic dome]

yea

thanks

what am i doing wrong?

[languid spire]

you cannot compare a RayCastHit to a LayerMask, that makes no sense

[sonic dome]

hmm makes sense

[arctic ibex]

Ah yes, the artof the bodge. I'm almost certain this is the worst possible way to do this but hey. It works.

[sonic dome]

how do i do it then?

wait

i got it

layerMask = DefaultRaycastLayers

something like this

[languid spire]

you compare the Layer of the gameobject you have hit with the Layer ID used to make the LayerMask

[languid spire]

Do not duplicate code if you don't need to

[sonic dome]

wait i m confused

shouldnt something likt this work?

[warm stag]

Ok so I'm trying this

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

public class HitData : MonoBehaviour
{
    public int DamageValue;
    public Vector3 HitDirection;

    public HitData(int damageValue, Vector3 hitDirection)
    {
        DamageValue = damageValue;
        HitDirection = hitDirection;
    } 

}```

The problem is, now it is a class and not a struct.. if I try to have a struct with same name as class it doesn't work, but if I rename the class to something else it's basically the same as before, no? When it's a class like this I get "Assets\Scripts\Hit Components\HurtBox.cs(31,32): error CS1729: 'HitData' does not contain a constructor that takes 2 arguments" which I suppose is connected to it now being a class and not a struct.

[languid spire]

why are you specifying types in a method call?

[sonic dome]

which types?

[languid spire]

float and int

[sonic dome]

for the max dist of the ray and all

[languid spire]

you do not specify the type in the call only in the method signature

[keen dew]

I don't understand why you changed it into a MonoBehaviour. What was the issue if you just copy-pasted the struct as it was?

[sonic dome]

okk so...

wait

let me try another way

[warm stag]

Oh that's what I thought you meant with "sometimes unity only see the monobehaviour class"

[sonic dome]

dude i dont get it just tell me

how should i compare the hit info with the layer

[languid spire]

man, this is basic C# you should know this

void myMethod(int x) { }
...
int a=0;
myMethod(a);

[sonic dome]

ya i get it but how do i compare hte layer?

[keen dew]

I meant that if you have something in addition to the MonoBehaviour class in the same file then it doesn't register the other stuff. Not that everything has to be a MonoBehaviour

[sonic dome]

how do i get the the layer info after hitting it

[gaunt ice]

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/RaycastHit.html
then Collider or transform or rigidbody has a property called "gameobject"

[sonic dome]

hmm i get it ig

wait

something like this?

[languid spire]

no

does GameObject have a LayerMask property? I dont think so. Go look up the docs instead of just trying random shit

[rapid valve]

@sonic dome my character does not have a in place option

so I am not sure what to do I thinK I somehow need to put it in place in blender

[warm stag]

It worked!! Dude, thank you. Still had one issue that I think I solved in a not so great way lol. Basically when I put the struct to it's own script file, this line (in HurtBox.cs) started giving me error that HitData doesn't have a constructor that takes 2 arguments:

hitbox.Hit(new HitData(_damageAmount, -hit.normal));

so I simply changed it to:

hitbox.Hit(new HitData());

And now it works... But I suppose those two were there for a reason lol and they weren't giving this error when the struct was defined in the same file... Any idea how I could fix this?

[keen dew]

Can you show the HitData file you made

[gaunt ice]

where is the constructor? how you define it

[warm stag]

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

public struct HitData
{
public int DamageValue;
public Vector3 HitDirection;

public HitData(int damageValue, Vector3 hitDirection)
{
    DamageValue = damageValue;
    HitDirection = hitDirection;
}

}

[gaunt ice]

did you save the script

[warm stag]

yes this is saved as HitData.cs

[keen dew]

On this line: hitbox.Hit(new HitData()); ctrl-click on HitData and see where it goes

[languid spire]

this
hitbox.Hit(new HitData());
should not work. you have no default constructor

[sonic dome]

why is this code working and not mine

[warm stag]

it goes to public struct HitData line in HitData.cs, so it seems to know where it is

[languid spire]

Again, you are specifying the parmater type as well as the value. you only need the value

[warm stag]

I mean by "work" I mean it's not giving me any errors NOW

[gaunt ice]

struct has a default parameterless constructor

[sonic dome]

then why is the 1st one working

[north kiln]

1. 3 is not a layer mask
2. You are passing it into the max distance parameter, not the layer mask parameter
3. Your syntax is incorrect, no idea why you're trying to perform an equality here

[sonic dome]

😭 makes sense

[languid spire]

do you not see the : that means a parameter NAME, you have a parameter TYPE

[sonic dome]

oo makes sense my bad g

[warm stag]

I just don't understand why the line

hitbox.Hit(new HitData(_damageAmount, -hit.normal));

worked when the struct was defined in the same file, but it didn't when I moved it elsewhere EVEN THOUGH when I click on HitData it goes straight to the new file... And I mean VisualCode wasn't giving me the error it was Unity.. I feel my Unity has some sort of problem knowing where things are

[sonic dome]

hope this works

no it doesnt

[keen dew]

Show the full error message

[warm stag]

"Assets\Scripts\Hit Components\HurtBox.cs(31,32): error CS1729: 'HitData' does not contain a constructor that takes 2 arguments"

But I tried to rewrite the line from scratch and it seems to not give any errors now... Maybe it's finally fixed. Thank y'all.

how can i change a button's text through script?

[ionic zephyr]

does anyone know a way to make my character face the direction I last moved to whenever I stop moving it?

[languid spire]

A) It makes no sense to do a GroundCheck every Update when you only use the result for one specific key press
B) What happens if the Raycast fails?

JASDUASHDUAHSDASDH

then just tell me

[deep quarry]

Yo, can't seem to get my Particle System working.
This is my script for how I turn on/off the particles:

        if(Input.GetKey(KeyCode.LeftShift))
        {
            accelerating = true;
            thrust.Play()
            Debug.Log("Started Thrust");
        }
        else {
            accelerating = false;
            thrust.Stop();
            Debug.Log("Stopped Thrust");
        }

The method is called, since I recieve my Debug.Log() messages in the console, but the Particle System doesn't start.

also, the particles works in scene view

[faint sluice]

I don't see the function that plays particle system in here

[modest dust]

You're only stoping the particle system in the else part

You're never starting it

[deep quarry]

Whoops, I pasted the wrong code. The thrust.Play() is in my code.

[languid spire]

this in update?

[deep quarry]

This is in MyInput(), which is called in Update().

[languid spire]

so you are calling Play every frame when the key is held down

[deep quarry]

Oh

Yea

[languid spire]

not what you want I think

[deep quarry]

So I should only start it once, and then when I release the key I should stop it, right?

[languid spire]

yes

[deep quarry]

Ah, I see. Thank you!

[deep quarry]

any idea of how I could do this?

[languid spire]

use GetKeyDown and GetKeyUp instead of GetKey

[deep quarry]

Perfect, thanks once again! :)

[odd valley]

how do I play an audio clip only when I want to play it ;-;

I've tried a few different methods its always playing as soon as the asset is loaded

[languid spire]

turn off play on awake

[odd valley]

oh

omg I'm stupid

thx

[sleek relic]

hello every one

Im starting to program using unity

And i dont understand how does the "do" command work

can someone explain it?

[languid spire]

you mean do { } until (condition) ?

[sleek relic]

yes i think

[languid spire]

it is a looping construct which is always guaranteed to execute at least once

[verbal dome]

How often do you use that Steve?

[languid spire]

not often

[verbal dome]

I've used do like a handful of times

Useful when you need a loop that executes at least once

Only used do-while though

[languid spire]

it does have it's uses but they are very rare

[meager steeple]

how would i add a function to a button, like change the colour of the text, and add audio when you hover over it?

[verbal dome]

UI.Button component? Add an OnClick event in the inspector, or add it from a script with AddListener if needed

[languid spire]

that wont work for Hover

[verbal dome]

Oh I totally missed the hover part

[languid spire]

I think you need to implement the IPointer interfaces

[verbal dome]

https://docs.unity3d.com/2017.4/Documentation/ScriptReference/EventSystems.IPointerEnterHandler.html

[sleek relic]

hey steve, can you give me an opinion on my code?

[verbal dome]

Yeah that

[verbal dome]

More up to date docs: https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.ugui@2.0/api/UnityEngine.EventSystems.IPointerEnterHandler.html

[hollow palm]

hello, im currently facing a problem with my rigidbody character when move while jump. It jump normal when idle, but floating when moving. Any idea what wrong in my script?

[languid spire]

your using velocity and add force, that wont work

[modest dust]

You modify the velocity directly in Movement()

[verbal dome]

One way to solve it is to use AddForce instead of velocity when you are jumping/falling/not grounded

[sleek relic]

using JetBrains.Annotations;
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Runtime.CompilerServices;
using Unity.VisualScripting;
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.UIElements;

public class CharacterScript : MonoBehaviour
{
    public Rigidbody2D CharacterRigidBody;
    public float CharacterJumpStrenght = 20;
    public float CharacterMoveSpeed = 10;
    public int MovementState = 0;
    public SpriteRenderer spriteRenderer;
    public int JumpsLeft=0;

    // Start is called before the first frame update
    void Start()
    {
        
    }

    // Update is called once per frame


    void Update()
    {


        //Inputs

     
  
        if(Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Space) && JumpsLeft > 0)
        {
            CharacterRigidBody.velocity = Vector2.up * CharacterJumpStrenght;
            JumpsLeft = JumpsLeft - 1;
        }

        if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.A))
        {
            MovementState = -1;
            spriteRenderer.flipX = true;
        }

        if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.D))
        {
            MovementState = 1;
            spriteRenderer.flipX = false;
        }

        //Input Stops
        if ((Input.GetKeyUp(KeyCode.A) && MovementState== -1) || (Input.GetKeyUp(KeyCode.D) && MovementState == 1))
        {
            MovementState = 0;
        }


        //Input Responses
        if (MovementState == -1 || MovementState == 1)
        {
            transform.position = transform.position + (Vector3.right * CharacterMoveSpeed * Time.deltaTime * MovementState);
        }

    }

    //Jump Recharge
    private void OnCollisionEnter2D(Collision2D collision)
    {
        JumpsLeft = 2;
    }


}

The code is for character movement

[verbal dome]

Put it in a paste site, it's too long

See the Large Code Blocks in the bot's message

[hollow palm]

im using addforce in jump method though

[languid spire]

Did you not read the bot message? Specifically the Large Code bit

but velocity in Movement

[verbal dome]

Yeah but that's just the jump force, I'm talking about the walking force/velocity in your Movement method. spineRigidbody.velocity = ...

[sleek relic]

Is it ok now?

[verbal dome]

Currently it will always override your velocity if you are holding movement keys down

[hollow palm]

should i change the velocity to addforce just like jump?

[languid spire]

no @sleek relic

[verbal dome]

Yes, but only if you are not on the ground

This is just one way to solve it

[hollow palm]

i see, thank u

[verbal dome]

You can also have a cooldown/timer that disables walk forces for a short while as you jump

[sleek relic]

Im confused

[languid spire]

Hello, anyone knows why my character is doing dubble swipe on the left and down animation but not on the right and up one?

[verbal dome]

Your animation transitions are probably wrong
Or your sprite animations have incorrect frames

You can put the game view and animator window next to each other while playing so you get a better idea of whats going on

[languid spire]

Honest opinion
Class name does not need to contain the word Script, we know its a script
Variable names misspelt
Variable name convention not consistent
Empty method
MovementState is not a state
Hard coded value for JumpsLeft
Mixing Transform and Rigidbody movement
Velocity not taking into account existing velocity
Conclusion: Not very good at all

[sleek relic]

ok thanks

[celest spoke]

as you can see here it looks exactly the same :/

[verbal dome]

Looks like it is playing twice every time

[swift mango]

I have 0 experience worth it to learn ?

[verbal dome]

@celest spoke You are using a Bool parameter, use a Trigger instead

Trigger is a bool that gets set to false when it is used

[celest spoke]

do you mean in my code?

[verbal dome]

In your code and in the animator

In the animator make attacking a trigger instead of bool

And in code use SetTrigger instead of SetBool

The problem currently is that attacking is true for at least two frames so the transition gets triggered twice

[celest spoke]

should i remove true and false in my code aswell? Because now i get error that says "SetTrigger does not take 2 arguments"

[verbal dome]

Yes

You use SetTrigger to set it to true and ResetTrigger if you ever need to cancel it

[celest spoke]

well now nothing is working

[verbal dome]

You probably don't need to ResetTrigger here

[celest spoke]

my character is flying around and cant use attacks

[verbal dome]

Did you change it to a trigger in the animator?

And did you reassign the transition conditions to use that trigger (in case they disappeared)

[swift crag]

You might want to get rid of the condition and create it again

I distinctly remember having a problem when I changed a parameter from float to bool

The condition turned into a boolean condition set to "true"

but the condition didn't work

something was stuck behind the scenes

this was on a VRChat avatar, so it was a reasonably old version of unity

[celest spoke]

so now its all working again but now i do dubble to the right and up, and triple to the left and down haha

insted of single and dubble

[verbal dome]

Then your SetTrigger is being called twice thrice

Time to show your !code

        animator.SetTrigger("attacking");
        currentState = PlayerState.attack;
        yield return null;
        animator.SetTrigger("attacking");```

You are indeed setting the trigger twice

[celest spoke]

wait wait i think i found the problem

[verbal dome]

I guess you used to set the bool to false where you now have the second SetTrigger

You don't need that, triggers go false automatically

[celest spoke]

so should i remove the second trigger?

[verbal dome]

Also is there a reason you are using GetMouseButtonUp instead of GetMouseButtonDown?

Attacking on mouse release is a bit weird

[celest spoke]

i just followed a tutorial, did exactly what the dude told me to and now its not working like his is

[frosty hound]

That would assume you didn't do it exactly like they did

But if you want to stick to that claim and get added to the counter, then show your code and what tutorial you're using.

(If you haven't fixed it)

[celest spoke]

the only difference i did was that he used spacebar for attack and i used left click

i just dont see how right and up is correct but down and left is wrong

[swift mango]

@frosty hound may I please dm you ?

[frosty hound]

No

[swift crag]

What part of "ask your question" do you not understand?

[frosty hound]

Neither can anyone here without you showing your code

[swift crag]

You have asked to ask your question multiple times now

Just ask it.

[celest spoke]

but i have pasted my code multiple times https://gdl.space/raw/durubuperi

[swift crag]

show your current code -- you've made changes since you last shared it, right?

Even if you think it's just one line, it's really important to make sure we're all seeing the same thing

[frosty hound]

Also what tutorial this is from?

[swift mango]

I want to share something with someone with a unity experience I want the question to be confidential

[swift crag]

good luck with that, then

no, nobody is going to "steal" your game idea

[swift mango]

Thanks

here you go

[verbal dome]

People don't want to commit to helping you without even knowing what the question is about

[swift mango]

The question is about unity

[swift crag]

because I already have enough spam in my message requests

Ask the goddamn question or stop bothering us.

I'm certain it's not as "confidential" as you think it is

[verbal dome]

Not a great tutorial at all. Using booleans for what should be a trigger, moving the rigidbody in update..

The top comment has a bunch of fixes for it too

[swift crag]

hey, if textbooks can have errata...

(:

[celest spoke]

there is no fixes for the problem that i have what i can see

[verbal dome]

What's the current problem?

[celest spoke]

and i find the tutorial fun and interesting as a new person to this but w/e

the problem is that when i attack to the right and up i hit 1 time with my sword, and when i attack left and down it attacks 2 times. I only want it to attack 1 time no matter the direction

[verbal dome]

It's probably fun and interesting. But all the comments are about fixing stuff in the tutorial

[verbal dome]

Compare your right/up animation transitions to the left/down transitions

Sounds like they are different

And disable loop on the animation clips

[celest spoke]

removing the loop makes it so that i do 1 stab in every direction so that works, however its not making the full animation so it looks funny

[long scarab]

Hey guys, anyone have experience with raycasts?

            mouse.z = 10;
            Ray ray = Camera.main.ScreenPointToRay(mouse);

            if (Physics.Raycast(ray, out RaycastHit hit, 10)) {
            }

have this tiny code and am clicking on an object with mesh, yet having no hits (I removed the internals of if for simplicity)
My Physics Raycaster object is on my main camera and set to the layer the object I want to hit is in

any ideas what might cause it?

[verbal dome]

Keep the loop disabled and check that the animation transition from Attack to Idle is correct. Sounds like it is exiting too early

This definitely seems more like an #🏃┃animation problem at this point

[celest spoke]

Ok i dont know how i fixed it but now everything is working as it should

but thanks for all the help ❤️

[swift crag]

there's no "Physics Raycaster" component

oh, you mean you named this thing "Physics Raycaster"?

please show us the entire script

don't remove anything from your code

i can handle reading more lines, but I can't deal with not seeing code that could be causing your problem

[long scarab]

no no

I mean

[stuck jay]

Could arrays be used to make two variable types related (as in, a string for AmmoType and an integer for AmmoMaxCap)

[long scarab]

lines inside IF which is never triggered cannot affect the result

[swift crag]

oh, there is inded a Physics Raycaster

I've never used this thing before

[cosmic dagger]

That would be a dictionary. It uses a key and value pair . . .

[swift crag]

This has nothing to do with using Physics.Raycast

[long scarab]

I am not sure I am using it either, but I recall it enabled the raycasts globally

[swift crag]

Please share the entire script.

I need to see what you're actually doing. Please humor me.

[long scarab]

            Vector3 mouse = Input.mousePosition;
            mouse.z = 10;
            Ray ray = Camera.main.ScreenPointToRay(mouse);

            if (Physics.Raycast(ray, out RaycastHit hit, 10)) {
                Debug.Log("x");
            }```

amazingly game changing

[swift crag]

That's not the entire script. That's a few lines.

How do you know that your raycast is even running?

[long scarab]

I did Debug.DrawRay

[swift crag]

well, you didn't show me, so I couldn't know (:

[long scarab]

the other parts of the script has nothing to do with this

and cannot affect it in any way

in debugging I can also see the origin and direction of the ray

[swift crag]

why are you fighting with me? i'm trying to help you.

[long scarab]

I am not fighting you, but there is simply nothing else

[swift crag]

Share the entire script, including your Debug.DrawRay code. I need to see exactly what is going on.

[cosmic dagger]

So the code above is everything in your script?

[long scarab]

I removed the debug since

[swift crag]

If you knew what was and wasn't relevant, you'd be able to solve your problem

[long scarab]

I put it on my camera

so its permanent

[swift crag]

you put what on your camera?

[long scarab]

the ray from camera to mouse

you know, to see it should trigger

[long scarab]

yes, the method definition starts above it

OnPointerClick of IPointerClickHandler

[verbal dome]

Debug.DrawRay?

[swift crag]

Why don't you just share the code instead of making us play a game of 20 questions?

[long scarab]

okay

full code

        if (eventData.button == PointerEventData.InputButton.Right) {
            if (drawing != null) { drawing.IsExtending = false; toggleDrawUI.isOn = false; drawing = null; }

            Vector3 mouse = Input.mousePosition;
            mouse.z = 10;
            Ray ray = Camera.main.ScreenPointToRay(mouse);

            if (Physics.Raycast(ray, out RaycastHit hit, 10)) {
                Debug.Log("x");
            }
  }
}

[swift crag]

This must be a joke. We've asked you to share the full script over and over and you keep sending us snippets.

[long scarab]

its a method

there is notghing like full script

[verbal dome]

Why do you need a raycast here?

You are already using OnPointerClick which raycasts to the UI

[long scarab]

well my eventData for some reason dont catch the item

I tried testing if ray will

[swift crag]

I see nothing here that proves this code is even running

This code will run when a UI element is clicked on, and will try to do a raycast against physics objects in the scene

[verbal dome]

We don't even know if it implements the interface

[swift crag]

we don't know much of anything!

[verbal dome]

🤷‍♂️

[swift crag]

I'm going to ask one last time: share the entire script.

we're not going to steal it

[long scarab]

Full script then

public class ClickController : MonoBehaviour, IPointerClickHandler, IPointerMoveHandler {
public void OnPointerClick(PointerEventData eventData) {
        if (eventData.button == PointerEventData.InputButton.Right) {
            if (drawing != null) { drawing.IsExtending = false; toggleDrawUI.isOn = false; drawing = null; }

            Vector3 mouse = Input.mousePosition;
            mouse.z = 10;
            Ray ray = Camera.main.ScreenPointToRay(mouse);

            if (Physics.Raycast(ray, out RaycastHit hit, 10)) {
                Debug.Log("x");
            }
  }  
}
public void OnPointerMove(PointerEventData eventData) {
        //Debug.Log("<color=#" + ColorUtility.ToHtmlStringRGB(GetColour(eventData.pointerCurrentRaycast, transform.parent)) + ">PIXEL</color>");
    }}

[long scarab]

well I told you here havent I #💻┃code-beginner message

[swift crag]

Great.

Now, prove that OnPointerClick is actually running by logging something inside of it.

[long scarab]

it is

[swift crag]

again, we're playing 20 Questions here

[verbal dome]

But you couldv'e left the IPoinerClickHandler out by accident

Does your scene have an EventSystem component?

[long scarab]

then it would throw exception of not implementing interface

yep

[verbal dome]

No it wouldn't

[swift crag]

no, you would get no error if you forgot to derive from the interface type

and the method wouldn't be called

[long scarab]

Yes I have eventsystem

[swift crag]

You don't prove this in the code you sent.

[long scarab]

You must trust me then

[swift crag]

remember that:

• we don't know what you know
• we can't see your screen

[long scarab]

I told you what I know

this is really going in circles

[verbal dome]

Fen is trying to teach you how to debug

[long scarab]

I know how to debug

[swift crag]

I'm trying to get you to communicate properly.

[verbal dome]

Then where's your log to prove it is running?

[swift crag]

It's going in circles for a reason.

[long scarab]

I dont need log for such simple things

[swift crag]

Then how do you know this method is even running? You said "it is" and stopped there.

What if it isn't?

[long scarab]

I used Debug.DrawRay for debuging if the ray hits the item before

[long scarab]

IDE debugging

[swift crag]

You didn't use it anywhere in that code.

[swift crag]

Okay, great, so you set a breakpoint and had the debugger pause inside of OnPointerClick?

[long scarab]

yes

I know how to debug

[swift crag]

Good. That's what I was looking for.

[long scarab]

skip this gaslighting please

        Debug.DrawRay(ray.origin, ray.direction * 20, Color.white);```

I also used this for camera update

[swift crag]

That's enough. Someone else may help you.

Good luck.

[long scarab]

So I could see the ray is actually going through the item

Not sure why are you acting so weird

You should trust someone's words more next time imo

[verbal dome]

Don't expect us to know your experience level. We are asking reassuring questions for a reason, it's a beginner channel

[long scarab]

And I answered all of them

but he wanted proofs all the time

[verbal dome]

While calling it 'gaslighting'

[languid spire]

Do you have any idea of the number of people who come here and swear black is white?

[long scarab]

Fortunately not

I apologize

I might have overextended

[polar acorn]

Search this channel for posts by me containing the words "The counter" and you'll see why we don't take anything people post here at face value without evidence. Sorry that you got caught up in it but sometimes when all the signs point to one problem but someone swears up and down it's not the case, the simple solution is that person is mistaken.

[ionic zephyr]

does somebody know how to make my character face the way it was moving before it stops

[long scarab]

yeah ik

its just that there is literally no code related to this

[verbal dome]

What kinda game, 2D platformer, 3D shooter?

[long scarab]

so I thought I shouldnt include it

cause there is no way it affects the new raycast

[verbal dome]

Does the object have a 3D collider?

[long scarab]

yes

and is on 0 layer

I also checked the mesh in wireframe

and tried convex

[ionic zephyr]

2D Rpg

Zelda style

[ivory bobcat]

Does it log x?

[ionic zephyr]

sorry?

[verbal dome]

And is < 10 units away from the camera? I see you used 20 as a distance in the DrawRay, but 10 in the raycast itself

[long scarab]

nope, thats the issue

it wont detect the hit

yes, camera is, one sec

[ivory bobcat]

So if you get no logs, there's a possibility the code isn't running

[polar acorn]

I only just arrived but from some scrolling, it seems you're having issues detecting something with a Raycast. Remember that mesh colliders are one-sided. If this mesh's normals are backwards it wouldn't detect a ray unless it struck the inside of a polygon

[verbal dome]

Then you probably want to tell the animator which way you are moving. Make parameters for MoveX and MoveY directions in the animator and control your sprites/animations with that

[verbal dome]

They did a breakpoint in the function and it's running

[long scarab]

its procedurally generated 2D mesh actually

and I can see it so the normals should be fine

[ivory bobcat]

I wasn't aware, alright 👌

[long scarab]

otherwise they would point towards the side and I wont be able to see them

[verbal dome]

Try with a primitive collider for testing (Sphere/Box/Capsule)

[long scarab]

good idea

[polar acorn]

2D mesh with a 3D collider, right?

[long scarab]

hit

okay well then there must be some mesh collider issue

[ivory bobcat]

Are you using the 2d variant?

[long scarab]

well its 3D mesh but the vertices are all on a plane

so I used 3D mesh collider too

[long scarab]

yes

and it works for all my other items

[ivory bobcat]

https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.ugui@1.0/manual/script-Physics2DRaycaster.html

[verbal dome]

Can you show your mesh generation code?

[long scarab]

technically I added the 3D Raycaster just because I did not know how to make it 2D like my other items

[polar acorn]

Yeah, I think it's the fact that a 2D object has no volume so the mesh basically can't be hit from any direction except straight on. I'm not sure what orientation anything is at but if the ray comes at it from the side it's not gonna strike anything.

[long scarab]

            trianglesList.Clear();
            Vector3 endPoint = Camera.main.ScreenToWorldPoint(Input.mousePosition);

                verticesList[j] = n;
            }


            mesh.vertices = verticesList.ToArray();
            mesh.triangles = trianglesList.ToArray();```

its simple arrow

but I wanted more objects in the future

[verbal dome]

Try calling mesh.RecalculateNormals after all that

And maybe some of the other RecalculateX methods, I don't remember which ones are necessary

[long scarab]

all righty

trying all three

seems like not

[verbal dome]

If you look at the mesh from behind, you can't see the faces right?

[long scarab]

I cant yes

should I recreate everything and make something like LineRenderer instead or

[verbal dome]

I have no idea about VR/AR stuff but what if you remove thet second parameter from your ScreenPointToRay

[long scarab]

You mean inside the arrow creation?

[verbal dome]

I mean here ^

[long scarab]

oh no yeah

actually I removed it since then

now its

public void OnPointerClick(PointerEventData eventData) {
        if (eventData.button == PointerEventData.InputButton.Right) {
            if (drawing != null) { drawing.IsExtending = false; toggleDrawUI.isOn = false; drawing = null; }

            Vector3 mouse = Input.mousePosition;
            mouse.z = 10;
            Ray ray = Camera.main.ScreenPointToRay(mouse);

            if (Physics.Raycast(ray, out RaycastHit hit, 10)) {
                Debug.Log("x");
            }```

[ivory bobcat]

We can't see the scene, inspector/components, hierarchy or anything that may be important. Maybe the collider isn't where we think it is?

I can screen everything if needed

well when I made the collider convex I could see it better

That could help

We wouldn't know if something is wrong with it, we can't see it.

You just have to tell me what you want to see haha

I ll get you the arrow with collider I guess

oh, now the collider is a box when I made it convex

it used to copy the arrow shape

Maybe due to the RealculareNormals?

Commenting out and testing

this is now convex

I ll try to get screen how it used to be

okay, cant get it back 😐

its not because of the normal recalc

I mean I would totally skip raycasting and use the PointerEventData eventData if I could

but for some reason the OnPointerClick PointerEventData eventData is detecting just my 2D sprites/objects

configure your IDE

[topaz pendant]

you wrote SterializeField instead of SerializeField

[rare basin]

there is no such thing as SterializeField, configure your IDE

!ide
