Just putting something in there to show that you can use x

cunning locust

if (realAge is int)
``` ?
polar acorn
#

you can check and cast at the same time

anyone know how can i put the same color on the background?

React tranform. 3 dots on the right. Reset?

switch(age)
{
  case int x:
    //do int things
    break;
  case float y:
    //do float things
    break;
}
#

you almost never need to use the actual System.Type object for type checking something

polar acorn
earnest atlas
#

nor that u need to check for type

#

user input always must be checked and sterialized

#

Amount of crashes I had when I worked with user imput not being checked is a lot

Im pretty sure compiler gonna complain

#

@ebon robin i think i need to find a way to prevent the attack animations from playing when the enemy is moving

earnest atlas
#

wont best way be adding a variable that saves the gamestate and then check it?

polar acorn
earnest atlas
#

Like make attack bool variable and have if (attack) return;

Oh right, on a non-URP project it's just right there. In URP it's in Environment but it's still there

thank you my man

how do i fix my code so when i look at a game object and click e it rotates/spins my thorw and change size ones work?

earnest atlas
#

dont call rigidbody rigidbody

#

cant you just tranfrom its rotation

polar acorn
terse yacht
earnest atlas
#

is it 3d or 2d?

terse yacht
#

3d

earnest atlas
#

float angle = rotationSpeed * Time.deltaTime;
transform.rotation *= Quaternion.AngleAxis(angle, Vector3.forward);

This is spat out by chatgpt. Looks somewhat legit

its for school so they having me do stuff weridly

tepid summit
#

a prefab can do close to anything a gameobject can

terse yacht
#

i been trying to put what they want me to do then work off that

tepid summit
#

my script is still broken can i get som ehelp

late bobcat
#

yeye i actually did it from the playercontrollerscript in the end @tepid summit but it was not working cause i didn't put a capital letter on "IsDashing" parameter in my script

tepid summit
#

oh lol

#

hate when that happens

late bobcat
#

it was like animator.SetBool("isDashing") instead of ("IsDashing")

tepid summit
#

yeah

#

or what about when you miss a ";" and dont realise

#

absolute pain

terse yacht
earnest atlas
#

Better yet when you named a variable and instantly forgot it

polar acorn
tepid summit
polar acorn
#

it's not an error, but it's an annoying warning

tepid summit

#

they can tell whatever calling rigidbody rigidbody even compiler complains

#

same honestly

#

most yellow warning come from packages anyways

polar acorn

so i couldnt fix them if i tried

tepid summit
#

jesus

Its just calling things what they are next time you will try to call Rigidbody you will call your variable

polar acorn
tepid summit
#

what

#

ok

#

great website

polar acorn
#

It's incredibly rude to come to a help forum and expect people to commit to solving your problem before you've even said what it is

earnest atlas
#

with chatgpt today its quite convinent

#

You can have no idea what u want and feed wall of text to it

#

And it might spit it out

tepid summit
#

iwas asking

#

its a perspective thing

earnest atlas
#

If it knows the code bad it hallucinates tho

#

I worked with Paradox script and it constantly messed up

polar acorn
# earnest atlas with chatgpt today its quite convinent

until it just straight up invents a new function that doesn't exist and then you post the question here and swear up and down the function exists because the spambot told you it did and you don't understand any of the code anyway because you let the chat robot do it for you

earnest atlas
#

Yeah it loves doing that

slender nymph
# tepid summit iwas asking

mate if you're asking for help before even providing any info about the issue, then yes, you are in fact asking someone to commit to helping you

earnest atlas
#

Its a tool

late bobcat
#

you can tell chat gpt that 2 + 2 is 5 and it'll say that you're correct and apologize for the inconvenient

tepid summit

earnest atlas
#

I remember feeding it 2 lists of names, I was trying to filter out list of mods I had repeated to update a collection.

It couldnt do it...

tepid summit
#

chatgpt is the smartest invention of the internet

#

im lying

earnest atlas
#

Ive spent 20 minutes telling him REMOVE repeated entries

#

It just spat me filtered list...

tepid summit
tepid summit
earnest atlas
#

Tho it instantly gave me pyton code to filter them myself

tepid summit
#

yeah

earnest atlas
#

Its getting lazy

tepid summit
#

because python is usually simple/easy

late bobcat
#

i'd say that gpt can give you a structure but most of the times you need to adjust it

tepid summit
earnest atlas
#

Before it was much better

#

At some point it got really bad

#

like you feed him part of function it calls something wrong in it and gives you back THE SAME function

tepid summit
# 
    {
        RaycastHit hit;
        if (Physics.Raycast(transform.position, transform.TransformDirection(Vector3.forward), out hit, Mathf.Infinity))
        {
            if (Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0))
            {
             Destroy(RaycastHit.transform.gameObject ; GameObject);
            }
        }
    }```

Lmao wtat

tepid summit
#

of course my codes gonna be bad

polar acorn
#

Like what language is that even

slender nymph
#

also what happened to "that's not my issue anymore"

tepid summit
#

the error changed

slender nymph
#

yeah because you didn't know how to correctly do the thing you were trying to do

polar acorn
tepid summit
#

fine

#

ill do it myself

slender nymph
#

seriously, go through some basic c# courses and maybe you'll actually have a chance at succeeding when attempting to do it yourself (again)

terse yacht
earnest atlas
#

even chatgpt cant fix that

#

what u event want to do with this?

#

Normally hits are counted with OnTrigger or

#

with function

slender nymph
#

they want to destroy a gameobject hit by a raycast

earnest atlas
#

what is raycast?

terse yacht
earnest atlas
#

Yeah as I though

#

Its a line

#

Are you shooting a laser?

terse yacht
#

so i have my raycast code so when i look at object i can interact with E and it can do things if i make scripts for it like i have that kick it accros room and one to change size i still need roataion and 2 more

tepid summit
#

changed the function entirely

   public GameObject Tile;
    void FixedUpdate()
    {
        RaycastHit hit;
        if (Physics.Raycast(transform.position, transform.TransformDirection(Vector3.forward), out hit, Mathf.Infinity))
        {
            if (Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0))
            {
             if(hit.transform.tag == "tiles")
                {
                Tile = hit.gameObject;
                }
                else 
                {
                Tile = null;
                }
            }
        }
    }```

this is what i got

late bobcat

#

the instruction i was given and my error and raycast

polar acorn
terse yacht
#

then how do i fix it cause it say left right up forward down backwards are all not viable so i tried .one and it also said the error

slender nymph
#

none of those are methods. those are all properties. what are you expecting them to do?

polar acorn
cunning locust
# 
string name = "Bob";
int length = name.Length;

Since 'B' is at the index of 0, shouldn't i put name.Length-1?

cuz u know, "Bob" length would be 3 letters, while 'b' at the end is at the index of 2.

polar acorn
#

This is just assigning two variables

cunning locust
#

Typewritter effect, just an example here

slender nymph

#

This might be unity related tho, how can u know

Leave something to us people who more or less know C# but are dealing with unity and bored

thats basic C# code, thats simple code u can run standalone.. theres nothing Unity related to it

so you just guessed? or was it code given to you by an AI? we're trying to understand the thought process behind the choice to write that

rocky canyon

Vector3.left is just a Vector.. (1,0,0);

And I dont understand vectors really well

slender nymph
#

it is against server rules to answer questions using AI generated responses

earnest atlas
#

oh sorry didnt know

rocky canyon
#

it says create a script to rotate an object

#

it doesnt specify how u must do it

terse yacht
rocky canyon
#

its one of those first fundamental things u learn, shouldnt be hard to find a solution that works

terse yacht
#

🤦‍♂️ i should have read insted of skim

#

wait

#

no

#

thats the name of the code

earnest atlas
#

wait what did you thought it was?

rocky canyon
#

ya, thats all it tells u

#

to name it that..

#

then u can do w/e u want inside of

#

as long as it rotates an object b/c of a player interaction

#

and those are also just examples it says

#

lol

polar acorn
#

please learn how C# works

there ya go, its a course written up by his professor, its not an online course

I have a suspition it was written long ago

like mathmatics dont change much.. so why make a new exam/

earnest atlas

I mean everyone had a copy of it

rocky canyon

ohh, lol

earnest atlas
#

yeah

rocky canyon
#

let me buy a copy of that exam u took last year pal

earnest atlas
#

For last 12 years XD

#

How to save scene in play mode. I edited few things and want to save it on place they are

rocky canyon
#

u copy the values of the things u changed and paste them in when ur not in playmode 😄

swift crag
#

There are add-ons for doing that. It's not something Unity provides.

earnest atlas
#

I dont think thats possible to copy

swift crag
#

well, Cinemachine has some code for remembering vcam modifications

rocky canyon
#

ya all changes in playmode revert back to defualt when u quit

#

yea some components keep their values

#

but not most

earnest atlas
#

Yeah it makes sence, but when you want to change something :C

rocky canyon
#

i keep a notepad next to me to jot down new values for that exact reason

rocky canyon
#

best method ive found so far.

earnest atlas
#

Yeah I know that I just moved a lot of things

rocky canyon
#

ohh well gl 😄

yeah, that's just what it's used for

I've never tried using it anywhere else

rocky canyon

tepid summit
#

ive looked actually in the four corners of the universe

#

the third page.. wOOooo

#

just kidden, theres usually not much past that tbh 😄

terse yacht
#

well i tried my way and idk why thats not vaild

image.png
rocky canyon
#

ur class doesn't have a variable called objectTransform

#

and update() is wrong.. its actually Update()

#

transform.Rotate <-- this would rotate the transform thats attached to the script

#

but if u want to use objectTransform u need to declare and assign it

terse yacht

... ight ill try againg ty

HOLY SHIT

They are in the scene.

Thats the same thing but one is in Game other is scene

they jsut gone?

rocky canyon
#

i know.. CLICK THE OBJECT in the hiearchy and look at the gizmos in teh scene (while the game is playing)

earnest atlas
rocky canyon
#

it'll have a gizmo on top of em (itll show where it is)

terse yacht
#

lol it spins but not when i interact with it it dose right off start

earnest atlas
#

Because you made it just spin al time I belive

#

yeah your toogle turnin does nithing in that code

#

you need
if(IsTurning) your code

terse yacht
#

ohh ya its in update not a if isturning true

rocky canyon
earnest atlas
#

if you want you can make something like this

rocky canyon
#

it will snap to it.. and then you'll atleast know where it is

honest haven
#

using if and if else do i need to end on an else? or can i just use if else

rocky canyon
#

@terse yacht the assignment actually says to use Player interaction.. so u need more than just spinning.. u need to check for inputs (from the player) and then make hte thing spin

earnest atlas
#

private IEnumerator rotate()
{
while (true)
{
while (isRotating)
{
//rotate object
}
}
}

terse yacht
#

ya ik thats what i been tempting i have my raycast code so when i look at object and tap E it runs the code it works for my throwing and change size

rocky canyon
terse yacht
#

i just need to fin out how to make my if statement be ran when the interaction happens cause i looked at my other ones i have and tbh i dont have a single clue even how they do run

hey everyone, could someone help me please? I'm making a character controller with the input system and I'm having some troubles with interactions.
When I press E it seems that the button sends multiple actions.

        playerUI = GetComponent<PlayerUI>();
        playerUI.UpdateText(string.Empty);
    }

    public void OnInteract(InputAction.CallbackContext context)
    {
        Interact();
    }

    private void Update()
    {
        playerUI.UpdateText(string.Empty);
    }

    public void Interact()
    {
        playerUI.UpdateText(string.Empty);

        Ray ray = new Ray();
        ray.direction = cam.transform.TransformDirection(Vector3.forward);
        ray.origin = cam.transform.position;

        RaycastHit hit;

        if (Physics.Raycast(ray, out hit, reachDistance, layerMask))
        {
            hit.collider.gameObject.GetComponent<IUseable>().BaseUse();

            if (hit.collider.gameObject.GetComponent<IUseable>() != null)
                playerUI.UpdateText(hit.collider.gameObject.GetComponent<IUseable>().promptMessage);


        }

Break it down into steps and tell us where you're stuck at

just the part where the hitbox collide and the video appears to restart the level

rocky canyon

the video part is easy, use a video player, and play a clip

That again is multiple problems in 1. Break it down further
First try to detect collision, then do something based on that collision.
Then learn to play video. Then learn how to know when the video ends

restart deletes all object so be sure you do it after video finishes

he can start coruitine with wait time as of video leight

i posted yesterday on how to use events.. the same thing would kinda apply to ur event.. in the script doing the check it would have the event.. u fire that event off when u click or w/e and then in ur other scripts they'd be subscribed to that event.. and when the event goes offf anything listening will act on it

u would want to wait for the video to be over.. b4 u did any of that

The characters eyes glitching around. The Idle Animation dont have a bigger eye to blink so i dont even know how it can blink xD

#

then ur collision isnt working correctly.. and u shoulda stopped there and figured out that problem. b4 u added in all the other nonsense

#

but ChatGPT be like that

terse yacht
#

they do apply to what im doing but i just cant grasp how my change size and my throw scripts can be use with the interact raycast beside when in unity you drag the code to he raycast and then select what event to happen but my issue still resides with when i start my game objects are spinning instead of when i tell them by looking at them and pressing E @rocky canyon

figure out ur collision first..

if u dont have any triggers

#

wrap ur stuff in a boolean... if(youShouldRotate){//rotateCode}

#

in the event u can toggle it on.. youShouldRotate = true;

#

its probably easier just to use WASD keys, (Input.GetAxis) and rotate based on the input ur giving.. but idk

terse yacht
#

i do most likely not correctly

image.png
rocky canyon
#

ya thats nonsense

#

if(isTurning == true) <-- thats a proper conditional check

terse yacht

u declare it as a float elsewehre.. like in the header of ur script

Like this @cosmic quail ?

#

just to say ur gonna be using one..

bool isTurning = false;

okay

rocky canyon

get that working first.. and then add the event..

then make sure the event is working..

how do i test if my button for quitting the game works?

instead of adding to and removing stuff... watch some material on Events first..

then return

building off of a system u never understood is bound to end badly

well i do i just dont understand how they connect ot the ray cast ik when i done making them i can go to unity and attach the code to the ray cast then play and it work i just dont understand how the turn one wont work i can attach it to the ray cast just it spins off the start instead when i look and press e

rocky canyon
#

the raycast is its own thing.. u would use it to invoke the event..

#

it COULD possible do anything

#

so figure out how the raycast works first.. and then move foward

a simple raycast running in update would be ALL u need for the raycast.. and then the event..

u reference that script in ur main script (the one meant to be listening) and subscribe to the event

then when the raycast triggers the true condition AND the hit the right object condition.. ur event just works

i could write out ur system for you. but that wouldn't be benificial to you at all.

why is it when i click exit game that button stops highlighting when i hover over it but none of the other buttons stop

rocky canyon
#

b/c that button is now in a different state..

meager steeple
#

but why is nothing else

rocky canyon
#

its been selected and will remain selected until u either unselect it with ur code.. or click a different button

#

b/c u didnt click any of the other ones??

meager steeple
#

ah

rocky canyon
#

same would happen to any other button u click first

meager steeple
#

no but its not the selected colour its highlighted colour

rocky canyon
#

ya, selected color would be the color it is while ur holding down on it

#

once u release it has been selected

#

it would be one of those other colors farther down

swift crag
#

I believe the "selected" color beats the "hover" color

rocky canyon
#

swift crag
#

Your exit button does nothing in the editor, so you're just noticing that it's now selected

rocky canyon
#

^ if the scene were to change u wouldnt notice 😄

swift crag
#

I imagine your other buttons cause something to happen that makes the button go away

rocky canyon
#

b/c u couldnt continue to hover it

swift crag

so you haven't noticed this before

try clicking down on a button, then moving the mouse off before you release

you should see the same behavior

several things are wrong here. first, that path is not going to work outside of the editor

for the first, instead of loading the video like that, you should create a prefab that already has a VideoPlayer component with the correct video assigned to it, or just have it in the scene somewhere and just spawn/reference it here then call Play.
for the second, you should start a coroutine or something that waits until the video has finished playing then loads the scene

signal bronze

ok

ill try

meager steeple

not the text file

You've dragged the actual script asset -- the thing Unity uses to keep track of where your code is

meager steeple

ffs

usually it doesnt let me move a script in there if it wouldnt work

that's why you see such an enormous pile of options if you open the "Select" window

slender nymph

But you don't want to change any properties of the script file

swift crag

you want to access a function on an instance of the script

compare that to, say, a GameObject field

which is very particular: it wants a game object, and nothing else

adding the script to a game object and using that

polar acorn
#

There isn't really an alternative

swift crag
# meager steeple adding the script to a game object and using that

Right.

When you dragged the exitGame script asset from the Project window into the On Click event, you were telling Unity that you wanted to do something to the script asset.

When you add the exitGame component to a game object, you're creating an instance of the class that script contains. It's stored on the game object.

#

So when you dragged that game object into the On Click event, you were telling Unity you wanted to do something to that object (or that object's components)

meager steeple
#

ahhh

swift crag
#

When you attach a component, Unity writes down the unique ID of the script asset

#

(which is why you can rename the class and the script file without existing components breaking)

#

(it only cares about that ID)

meager steeple
#

mhm

swift crag
#

you can literally just replace it with another script's ID and the component will suddenly be another type. I've done that a few times before for...reasons

#

but yeah -- if you see MonoScript, you've got something wrong

meager steeple
#

ok

#

thank you

polar acorn
#

So you can create a Modding API without having to include the entire game's scripts

swift crag
#

That's clever.

#

I've been thinking about how you'd actually...make a modding interface

#

I hadn't considered that idea at all though

polar acorn

Yeah I felt pretty clever when I came up with that.

Never finished the project of course but it was a pretty cool system

rocky canyon

#

@swift crag would it be possible to add the script to the button itself and then select itself for the onclick function

#

just to save memory or whatever not making too many objects

rocky canyon
#

if the button is active in the scene.. then why wouldn't it?

#

u can add as many script/ components as u want.. to any object

#

except a few edge-cases, which the editor just wont allow u and will show u a popup error as to why

meager steeple

👍

that makes it easier

rocky canyon
swift crag

Don't worry about making too many objects.

rocky canyon

organization may be more important

In fact, you should worry about not making enough objects!

Are corutines async?

Like in Android?

slender nymph
#

yes and no. they are not async as in the technical meaning with the async modifier. but they are async as in they do not have to fully complete immediately and are evaluated at specific parts of the frame to determine if execution should continue

earnest atlas
#

what happens if one corutine is called multiple times. It creates multiple instances of such running in parrarel?

slender nymph
#

yes

rocky canyon
#

thats how come we can use StopCoroutine() and pass in a certain coroutine

#

or StopAllCoroutines() setc

earnest atlas
#

and how do we find specific corutines?

rocky canyon
#

u cache them b4 u start it

earnest atlas
#

Oh, I see

rocky canyon
#

or while u start it rather

slender nymph
#

you don't "find" them. you keep a reference to the coroutine returned by StartCoroutine if you need to stop a specific one

earnest atlas
#

Yeah I got it

#

Do they auto cleanup when finished if they were saved in the list

#

or I need to run check for nulls to clean up the list

rocky canyon
# 
    private void Start()
    {
        // Start the coroutine and cache the reference
        myCoroutine = StartCoroutine(MyCoroutine());
    }```
#

like so

earnest atlas
#

Yeah I know that, I more or less know C# shenanigans

rocky canyon
#

cool cool, never kno around here

earnest atlas
#

yeah

#

move player left

#

XD

rocky canyon
#

but im not sure what u mean by needing to cleanup after they're finished.. im not that advanced

slender nymph
earnest atlas
#

I mean when corutine stops running but you still have the pointer to them in the list, does it delete itself or pointer becomes null adding need in cleaning them up

slender nymph
#

neither of those things happen

earnest atlas
#

What does then happen? It eats memory?

slender nymph
#

because, again, normal objects do not magically become null.

#

c# does not have the concept of "destroyed" like unity does. if something references an object it will stay in memory until sometime after it is no longer referenced by anything when it will get garbage collected

rocky canyon
#

The Coroutine object still exists, but it represents a completed coroutine.

earnest atlas
#

is there a way to find out if corutine is completed?

rocky canyon
#

.isRunning()

#

i think

earnest atlas
#

isnt that with animations?

#

or animations are corutines in trenchcoat?

rocky canyon
#

lol, nvm there is no isRunning

earnest atlas
#

probably isAlive

rocky canyon
#

i dont think.. let me check.. come to think of it

#

how do you/

#

ahh, ud need to implement that

slender nymph
#

you don't. you would typically assign null to the variable holding its reference at the end of the coroutine

rocky canyon
# 

    IEnumerator MyCoroutine()
    {
        isCoroutineRunning = true;

        yield return new WaitForSeconds(3f);

        isCoroutineRunning = false;
    }```
#

this would work, i think

eternal needle
#

Store the coroutine and check if its null

earnest atlas
#

how would you find out corutine variable from the list?

rocky canyon
#

Coroutine firstCoroutine = runningCoroutines[0];

earnest atlas
#

If its not first.

rocky canyon
#

same way ud find any type in a list i think

eternal needle
rocky canyon
#

ud search thru the list using ur cached coroutine?

rocky canyon
eternal needle
#

It sounds odd that you have a list of coroutines and need to find a specific one

earnest atlas
#

Lets imagine we have list of corutines, we have corutine 5 that has finished.

we want it removed

slender nymph
#

why would you have a list of coroutines though

earnest atlas
#

Only pointer to it is the same list

#

Its just theory

#

If corutine is just another object we can temporaly hold a variable in it that consist of its position in the list

#

and use it to just remove itself

#

issue comes with other lists that now have outdated position list

rocky canyon
# 
        if (runningCoroutines.Count > 0)
        {
            Coroutine firstCoroutine = runningCoroutines[0];
            if (firstCoroutine != null)
            {
                // still running
            }
            else
            {
                runningCoroutines.RemoveAt(0);
            }
        }```
#

this thread im reading seems to imply it does go to null

#

after it finishes 🤔

slender nymph
#

Coroutine does not just become null though

rocky canyon
#

yea.. hold up.. let me read farther

earnest atlas
#

Once the coroutine is finshed, Unity will no longer hold reference internally to the Coroutine or the IEnumerator as it is done with it. However when you hold that instance in your own variable, it would stay there useless forever. Your variable can only become null when you set it to null.

#

In unity discussions

#

ohhhh thats probably what they mean ^

How to set Coroutine variable to null properly, and what yield brea...

Hi! I really like to save coroutines into variables and then check their existence. But only recently I found out that completing a coroutine loop does not reset its variable to zero. So my questions are. Is it even correct to cache coroutines in the Coroutine = StartCoroutine() field Which of the following examples is correct? (Dont mind we...

rocky canyon
#

thanks!

#

i need to list up some coroutines just for fun..

#

ive never stored more than a single reference to a coroutine

slender nymph
#

Coroutine inherits from YieldInstruction which does not inherit from anything else. neither of which have an overloaded == operator that checks against a fake null like UnityEngine.Object has so it has no way to turn null on its own like UnityEngine.Objects

rocky canyon
#

kinda vague on how any of that works tbh

swift crag
#

The vital thing to understand is that no reference "becomes null", ever

rocky canyon
#

unless u manually set it to null

swift crag
#

Destroyed Unity objects just compare true against null

eternal needle
#

Having a list of coroutines that you need to care about in general already sounds like a shit design tbh. It's not like they would be acting all on their own variables

earnest atlas
#

So basically never to hold corutines in a list if you dont want to write 1000 lines to handle it

swift crag
#

i.e. foo == null is true when foo is a destroyed Unity object.

signal bronze
swift crag
#

There is no magic. Unity can't set your variable to null behind your back.

polar acorn
eternal needle
rocky canyon
slender nymph
earnest atlas
#

If its simple how would u manage it xD

polar acorn
#

So technically it doesn't become null, it's just no longer referenced and will get GC'd

swift crag
rocky canyon
swift crag
#

so I just made a List<IEnumerator> and wrote a bit of logic to manage the "coroutines" myself

slender nymph
eternal needle
#

I think it would make more sense to pass the actual coroutine reference if things are being removed from the list

earnest atlas
#

Issue is that if you do that your next corutine in list will get broken cause list now is 1 space shorter after you clean up the null

earnest atlas
slender nymph

#

Here I have a leg and Im gonna pass the same leg to that leg

rocky canyon

soo, since we're speaking on null's is this fine for its purpose? if i have a lookTarget we look at it.. if not we dont..
i wrote it this way so i could have the same script on things that look and dont look, i just leave the inspector blank for the ones that dont

swap the camera, start the film 🍿

I followed this sphere deform tutorial but instead I was using a plane, and the object shoots a ray down to the mesh to deform it, it says it hits the mesh but it doesn't deform, I'm new so idk what I need to do. This is the script attached to the grid for the deform

you need to get your !IDE configured

slender nymph
#

and you are referencing the videoplayer in the scene and not perhaps a prefab?

signal bronze
#

this is what i have in the editor

slender nymph
#

that doesn't answer the question. that just shows you have a gameobject called VideoPlayer in the scene

signal bronze
#

this what u asking for?

slender nymph
#

well that shows that you are referencing an object called Video Player with a VideoPlayer component on it. but again, are you certain that is the one that is in the scene? ||hint: you can click it and it will highlight the object||

i have animation that is set to false but even then none of the other animations can be played even if their conditions are true, its just stuck o nthe last animation

have u tested the video w/o the code??

#

didint see that

rocky canyon
#

thast from your JumpscareController script

signal bronze
#

might need glaasses

polar acorn
rocky canyon
#

if ur script errors out like that it may stop running completely

#

and you wouldnt know if the video part even worked

slender nymph
#

also if it is loading the scene even with that OnCollisionEnter method never being called, then something else is loading it or something else is starting that coroutine

signal bronze
#

so, what do i do now

slender nymph
#

move those methods outside of whatever method they are nested in

signal bronze
#

easier terms, dont now what nested means, im not english srry

rocky canyon
#

yea, OnCollision has to be outside of any functions u wrote

slender nymph
#

wait, they weren't before. what the fuck happened

#

share the full !code

ah yeah probably so no logs but the code still works because they didn't remove their own code

can someone please tell me why after PlayerCrouchHit, the game wont stop playing the animatio neven if its set to false.

i have an animation event at the end of the PlayerCrouchHit that goes like this:
public void HitAnimationFalse()
{
hitWhileShielded = false;
}

hitWhileShielded has to be true to set the bool parameter for PlayerCrouchHit to true'

he just made a mistake and pasted over his class header and stuff when he went to introduce the debug logs

slender nymph
scarlet skiff
scarlet skiff
slender nymph
#

well i'm not digging into all of that. use the debugger in your IDE to figure out what is happening

scarlet skiff
#

i used debug and it shows that hitWhileShielded is set to false correctly yet animation still plays

rocky canyon
#

then its an issue with the Animator

scarlet skiff
rocky canyon
#

if ur code is working but the animations are not

#

not really.. probably a transition from clip to clip..

scarlet skiff
#

how do i tackle this problem

rocky canyon
#

inspect ur animator as the game is playing..

#

u can see the transitions and stuff light up

#

u can figure out whats not doing what supposed to be doing

scarlet skiff
#

but idk what to do about that

rocky canyon
#

just open the animator window.. click the gameobject that has the animator and debug

scarlet skiff
#

thats what i did it lights up even when false

rocky canyon
#

we couldn't say w/o looking thru ur animator and knowing everything that u know about ur project

#

then check that transition..

#

make sure that the conditions when it goes off are correctly set up

scarlet skiff
rocky canyon
#

ohhh, well then it has to be ur script then doesn't it?

scarlet skiff
#

i will try to record a clip

scarlet skiff
rocky canyon
#

lol, its a hefty class..

#

yea a video would be helpful. but provide context with it.. tell us what we're seeing whats we're supposed to be seeing etc..

#

a clip w/o context is gonna be just as bad as that big ole class

rocky canyon
#

also, I'd say use breakpoints but i dont know how those work.. so i wont lol

ok yea...with more bebugging, the animations parameter is literally false but animation is still playing

signal bronze
slender nymph
#

what do the logs print

signal bronze
slender nymph
#

what do the logs from the script print

signal bronze
#

how can i find the script related ones

slender nymph
#

well you start by clearing the console then you go into play mode and make your code run

signal bronze
scarlet skiff
signal bronze
slender nymph
signal bronze
#

nothing

#

only that

slender nymph
#

then that code is not running

signal bronze
#

there is nothing about the script in the console

slender nymph
#

again, if you do not see the logs printed to the console then your code is literally not running

I have read this page many times and not found a fix for the issue...

Intellisense makes predictions sometimes and then other times it doesnt.. but the code color lens isnt working for any color but blue...

Is this a VisulStudio issue or a unity issue?

image.png
slender nymph
#

your screenshot still shows an unconfigured IDE

#

are you sure you have completed all of the steps?

signal bronze
#

this is what happens when i run the game

slender nymph
#

start by removing one of the two audio listeners so that you can actually see your logs when/if they happen

#

and of course you need to actually address then 100+ errors

scarlet skiff
signal bronze
#

this is the only red error that appears

image.png
slender nymph
#

fix both of those things

signal bronze
#

and this the other yellow one

image.png
slender nymph
#

then you might even be able to see your own logs in the console

signal bronze
slender nymph
#

do you know how to read?

signal bronze
#

yes sorry

slender nymph
#

great! then literally just read what those messages say and do it

signal bronze
#

i left the audio listener only in the camera

#

this shows up

image.png
eternal needle
#

Well the logs arent lying to you for fun, at some point you had 2 audio listeners.

signal bronze
#

yeah i now

slender nymph
# signal bronze this shows up

great! so we see that it thinks the video is done playing immediately. this is probably due to the player not being ready to actually start playing yet and so it hasn't actually started before you start checking if it is playing or not

signal bronze
#

and how do i fix that

#

because that sounds like its difficult

slender nymph
#

start by checking the docs for the VideoPlayer and see if there is anything useful you could possibly do there

signal bronze
#

closed the tab, can u send it again

Hi, I'm trying to make a RayCast based suspension system only using the car RigidBody. Does anyone know why is the suspension acting weird and does'nt want to stay in place?

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

public class WheelSuspension : MonoBehaviour
{
    
    public Ray tireRay;
    public Transform tireTransform;
    public Rigidbody carRigidBody;
    public float wheelRadius = 0.5f;
    public float springStrength;
    public float springDamper;
    public float suspensionRestDist;
    
    void Start()
    {

    }

    void Update()
    {
        tireRay = new Ray(tireTransform.position, -tireTransform.up);
        Debug.DrawRay(tireRay.origin, tireRay.direction);
        if(Physics.Raycast(tireRay, out RaycastHit hit, suspensionRestDist + wheelRadius))
        {
        Vector3 springDir = tireTransform.up;
        Vector3 tireVel = carRigidBody.GetPointVelocity(tireTransform.position);
        
        float offset = suspensionRestDist - (hit.distance - wheelRadius);
        float vel = Vector3.Dot(springDir, tireVel);
        float force = (offset * springStrength) - (vel * springDamper);

        carRigidBody.AddForceAtPosition(springDir * force, tireTransform.position);
        }

    }
}
