read???

[wary olive]

Why would you want to wait 2 seconds for nothing after it? Coroutines are used when you need to delay an action

[clear seal]

but dosn't it just wait at the end before restarting the cycle?

[north kiln]

read the link I sent you and learn?

[clear seal]

i did

[north kiln]

Then surely you can answer your own question

[summer pulsar]

hello, im trying to make a bool called alive set to false from the component "PlayerMovement", when the int player health reach 0 from the component "PlayerHealth" but it doesnt work, any help ?

[north kiln]

start is not a thing

[summer pulsar]

dont tell me it was this simple

[clear seal]

damn it did not correct it?

[summer pulsar]

the problem was the error pointed at the update function and i kept changing everything there only to notice me forgeting to make the s capital

[wary olive]

Ah the joys of programming ✨

[astral urchin]

can someone help with this

[scarlet skiff]

someone pls 😔

[eternal needle]

Have u configured your ide yet, as the message below yours tells you to

[eternal needle]

I doubt many people are gonna sit there and watch a 2 minute video to help you. If you can summarize your issue it's better to just show it all in one concise message instead. (And delete this message where you reply to one message then link 2 others)

[signal bronze]

It works perfectly thanks @slender nymph and @rocky canyon for your help, i appreciate it a lot, thanks fr

[scarlet skiff]

i tried that at first, but ill go again:

Animation wont stop playing, even when its boolean parameter is set to false.. thats it actually, but i checked and tried so many things, but no luck

[clear seal]

weirdly my conon does not shoot on trigger

oh wait hold on

[frigid sequoia]

Simple question: how do I get a reference to an image?

[clear seal]

wut

[green copper]

is there a way to link objects such that if I make a change to one, it makes a change to all?

[frigid sequoia]

Like, it doesn't let my assing it on the inspector

Why it doens't show?

[clear seal]

drag ur image into the image box

[clear seal]

make child

[wary olive]

Is there an error in ur script? It may not update the inspector until it can build

[green copper]

would that include changes like changing the sprite of a tile

[clear seal]

i guess so i never tried, i only tried with 3d gameobject not 2d one

[frigid sequoia]

No, the inspector is updated correctly

[astral urchin]

What that do

[frigid sequoia]

It is just not managing any reference to the Image class

[clear seal]

did u drag the image in the box

[wary olive]

Image2 which wants an image isn’t shown in your inspector view that you screenshotted, image is not an image object so won’t allow an image in it

[frigid sequoia]

That box is only showing the GameObject named "image" I need to assing an actual Image since I want to change the color

[clear seal]

[frigid sequoia]

I only made that gameObject to show that it is not showing as expected

[eternal needle]

Your IDE will have autocomplete, highlighting, but most importantly will tell you errors

[clear seal]

does it let you drag it in

[wary olive]

No because it’s the wrong object type

[astral urchin]

Oh ok

[frigid sequoia]

Man, I can drag in a GAMEOBJECT, I want to drag an IMAGE

[clear seal]

so she might need to change the type

or

wait no

[wary olive]

So why are you defining image as a game object, define it as an Image in the code

[clear seal]

exactly that's what is confusing

it should say image

[clear seal]

did u save your script

[wary olive]

Like image2, but that isn’t in your screenshot which is why I’m asking if you have compiler errors or haven’t saved etc

[frigid sequoia]

I AM NOT DEFINING THE IMAGE AS A GAMEOBJECT, IS ONLY TO SHOW THAT THE REFERENCE TO THE GAMEOBJECT WORKS WHILE TO THE IMAGE DOESN'T

[wary olive]

Calm down I’ve literally said that’s what you’re doing and I don’t know why you’re doing that

[clear seal]

DIDYOU SAVE YOUR SCRIPT

[frigid sequoia]

I use caps so none misses it, I am not mad :p

[frigid sequoia]

I did

[slender nymph]

you're probably using the wrong Image type

also chill tf out

[wary olive]

No it’s not showing in his inspector apparently? No idea since the information he’s giving is useless though

[clear seal]

do u want to use it as a UI

[slender nymph]

right because they are using the wrong Image type

[wary olive]

I think his issue is that image (game object) shows in inspector but image2 (image) doesn’t? His naming makes it very confusing

[wary olive]

Yeah that’s what I said then they did all caps

[clear seal]

@frigid sequoia what do you want to use it for

[summer pulsar]

hello, so i have this spawner but the problem is if i set the prefap as a reference it will only follow my player first position but if i make the reference as an object in the hierarchy it will constantly follow the player but if i destroyed the original referance i get an error, any help?

[frigid sequoia]

There, that's the actual code I am using, I only did the last one to make it clearer, but apparently did the opposite

[frigid sequoia]

The image List is not showing

[clear seal]

what do you want to use the image for?

[frigid sequoia]

Nor can I get the reference through code

[clear seal]

UI?

[frigid sequoia]

Am I calling it wrong?

[north kiln]

You should not be using UIElements

[wary olive]

Try adding [SerializeField] before public (and replace public to private)

[north kiln]

You are not using it in practice, so it shouldn't be in your code

[clear seal]

what is your image type?

[frigid sequoia]

Did it before, doesn't do anything

[slender nymph]

this is not going to fix their issue because they are literally using the wrong Image type. they are using the UIElements Image

[frigid sequoia]

That shouldn't matter for this

[clear seal]

it need to be sprite2d and ui

[wary olive]

Yeah I just saw they’re using wrong imports

[timber tide]

It would be like Image.sprite right

[frigid sequoia]

This image

[north kiln]

Except that it does.

[tropic agate]

No, I have some experience with coding and unity, but i dont think its that good with unity

[clear seal]

exactly finnally someone that says that

@frigid sequoia ?

[wary olive]

That’s not their issue, the issue is the code, it needs to import UnityEngine.UI not UIELEMENTS

[north kiln]

I am concerned that the code apparently compiles, because it really shouldn't

[frigid sequoia]

What does it do?

[clear seal]

i mean she did not show what was her image type

[frigid sequoia]

If I am calling a reference that I am not using shouldn't do anything

[wary olive]

Doesn’t matter

It’s not showing in the inspector

[frigid sequoia]

Sprite

[wary olive]

The actual image they wanna put in doesn’t affect the code not showing the field in inspector

[north kiln]

You are using it though, Image is also in UIElements

[slender nymph]

considering they have the UIElements namespace imported but not UnityEngine.UI we can clearly tell which Image they are using

[north kiln]

How would this compile?

Image is not a component, how could they get it?

[slender nymph]

GetComponent has no generic constraints

[north kiln]

Oh, I suppose it's a... yeah

[frigid sequoia]

Then what the heck should I be calling?

[wary olive]

Change UIELEMENTS to UI

[scarlet skiff]

pls..

[frigid sequoia]

Thank u

[slender nymph]

have you used the debugger to step through your code and figure out where your logic is going wrong yet?

[timber tide]

If you want to make improvements to the code I suggest just taking out FindGameObjectsWithTag and just add the reference to the player on the enemies

[frigid sequoia]

Why does that work though? Like I don't undertand

[wary olive]

Thank this guy

[slender nymph]

because UnityEngine.UIElements.Image is not the same thing as UnityEngine.UI.Image

[north kiln]

You were referencing this type https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/UIElements.Image.html

God it's gonna be good when UGUI gets thrown to the fire

[frigid sequoia]

I literally didn't reference anything, it just added it automatically

[north kiln]

Because you approved of it

You accepted that namespace

[frigid sequoia]

But why is that the default?

[slender nymph]

you need to pay more attention to the namespace it shows when you are autocompleting types

[frigid sequoia]

Like wtf?

[wary olive]

It isn’t, you would’ve been given two options

[north kiln]

There is no default

[scarlet skiff]

yes, even when the boolean parameter for the animation is false, or if i straight up set it to false, the abimation STILL plays

[north kiln]

Also, there is nothing wrong with UIElements, I am using it and not using UGUI

[scarlet skiff]

i got no clue where to go fro mthere

[summer pulsar]

what does findgameobjectwithtag have to do with that ? it just counts the number of enemies that are present so it spawns mor e

[frigid sequoia]

Still, if I am calling an Image from Elements, how come that it doesn't show in the inspector?

[north kiln]

UIElements' VisualElements are not serializable by Unity. They are not scene objects, or configurable via the inspector.

[slender nymph]

do note that i am not referring to just watching the bool parameters in the animator window. since those aren't actually being used for transitions and it's purely your own logic in your code that determines what animation to start playing. you need to step through your code and figure out where your logic is going wrong

[timber tide]

You can have a spawner class that keeps a list of enemy references and when one dies then you know the spawn a new one instead of checking the scene every update to see if an enemy exists.

[clear seal]

why doesn't my canon shoot

[north kiln]

1. Confirm your code is actually running

[scarlet skiff]

i did and i cant pin point where it goes wrong

[summer pulsar]

could you explain a little more please ?
isnt that just using a prefab ? when i use enemy prefab i cant fill the follow target with the hierarchy player i gotta use the prefab player and if i use the prefab player they just go to my spawn instead of follow me

[clear seal]

i did but how?

wdym by that

[north kiln]

Use the debugger or logs

[summer pulsar]

the cluster is the enemies spawned by a prefab while the one following me is from the hierarchy

[wind escarp]

Inspector -> set is Trigger = true ;

[timber tide]

ok so, if both the enemy and player exists on the scene then you should be able to drag the player object reference into the follow target component on your hierarchy

the problem you're having is setting the prefab data of the enemy to follow the player prefab instance which does not exist in the scene as of yet (it's just a template of data which you instantiate later into the game)

so if you want to spawn enemies dynamically, you need a runtime way to figure out what target there is to chase on the scene

[summer pulsar]

but i tried without the prefab and if it died it gives me this error

[timber tide]

Ignoring what I said previously about using FindGameObjectsWithTags, you can use this to find the player reference too if you choose to do it that way

I usually avoid those methods because it requires searching throughout the scene hierarchy, but you're better off having a manager component/singleton/static ref to grab the current player reference.

        Instantiate(animalPrefabs[animalIndexLeft], spawnPos1, animalPrefabs[animalIndexLeft].transform.rotation);
    }```

asked a few people but no one's been able to solve it yet,

my purpose: when unit is clicked, highlight should appear

my problem: that doesn't happen.
i drew around the issue in red.
it's definitely in the red i drew cuz i made debug logs for other parts of the code like the raycasting and that worked fine
EDIT: no debug log message appears in console when i click on unit

any help would be appreciated ive been on this for a while now

[short hazel]

You're not calling SpawnAnimalLeft at all here, indeed

[charred axle]

there's 2 of them

ah saw it, 1 second

    void spawnAnimalLeft()
    {
        // Pulls the element from Prefabs
        int animalIndexLeft = Random.Range(3, 4);
        // Randomizes the position
        Vector3 spawnPos1 = new Vector3(10, 0, Random.Range(2.0f, 12.0f));
        Instantiate(animalPrefabs[animalIndexLeft], spawnPos1, animalPrefabs[animalIndexLeft].transform.rotation);
    }
    void SpawnAnimal()
    {
        // Pulls the element from Prefabs
        int animalIndex = Random.Range(0, animalPrefabs.Length);
        // Randomizes the position
        Vector3 spawnPos = new Vector3(Random.Range(-spawnRangeX, spawnRangeX), 0, spawnPosZ);
        // Randomizes the position


        // Spawns the animals
        Instantiate(animalPrefabs[animalIndex], spawnPos, animalPrefabs[animalIndex].transform.rotation);
    }

}
``` am i on the right track

[frigid sequoia]

Actually I think I did this by creating several methods for each posible edge of spawn, working exactly the same but with different range of possible coordinates and used another Random to decide which one should be called when some enemy should be spawned

[short hazel]

If you want it to spawn at a constant X position, this won't do it, you still choose a random X for spawnPos

And as far as I can see, void spawnAnimalLeft() is still left unused

You only schedule the execution of SpawnAnimal() in Start()

[green copper]

I'm trying to programatically generate an inventory grid, but all of the sprites are generated with a scale of 240. The object holding the generation script has a scale of 1, 1, 1

I know this will generate all sockets in the same place currently, I'm trying to solve the scale problem first

[north kiln]

(Instantiate has an overload that sets the parent, you don't need to do it in two steps)

[charred axle]

    {
        // Makes it so it spawns randomly at xx speed
        InvokeRepeating("SpawnAnimal", 2, 1.2f);
        InvokeRepeating("SpawnAnimalLeft", 2, 1.2f);
    }```

i am so lost

[green copper]

how so?

[north kiln]

Your function isn't called SpawnAnimalLeft

[short hazel]

The name is different. Yours has a lowercase "s"

Consider using nameof(spawnAnimalLeft) instead of a string - gives you additional safety as the compiler checks that what you pass in nameof actually exists

[charred axle]

oh

DID IT!

ty guys

[timber tide]

You should define the exact types you are working with because GameObject is pretty ambiguous.

Is it UI? Is it SpriteRenderers? Who knows

[north kiln]

#854851968446365696

- Don't
- Respond with "wdym", "?", or "didn't work" without justification.

I have zero clue what you didn't understand about my simple sentence.

I might as well just repeat myself for all I know

[charred axle]

int animalIndex = Random.Range(0, 2);

(0 , 2) shouldn't include these first 3?

[north kiln]

No https://unity.huh.how/random/range

[charred axle]

ty

[short hazel]

Maximum exclusive for random range with int values

So you get either 0 or 1 here

[charred axle]

oh so it should be 0, 3?

[short hazel]

Yes. But why not use the whole list here?

[green copper]

apologies. My intended question was, do you know the syntax to set the parent within the Instantiate() function?
I found the section of the docs that concerned my question

[frigid sequoia]

I think the max in the range is exclusive precisely to work with Lists

[short hazel]

Random.Range(0, animalPrefabs.Length)

[charred axle]

because i no no wanna :'(

--
because i have 2 different spawn codes where one of them spawns animals from top of the screen while the other is from the left

[north kiln]

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Object.Instantiate.html
Look at the docs for the overload that sets the parent.
Or use your IDE's autocomplete and just look at the arguments

[charred axle]

i couldnt have thought any other way to do it tbh

[polar acorn]

If there's two different use cases, wouldn't it make more sense to have two lists

[short hazel]

Two lists/arrays?

Easier to manage if you suddenly want to add another element, and want it to spawn without altering the code at all

[charred axle]

https://paste.ofcode.org/wEkYQyBdfW4AuTeS8wPeqG

[north kiln]

Ask in #📱┃mobile where it's relevant. I see you did, in that case, don't cross-post.

[green copper]

I'm trying to find any other way to refer to my image. The gameObject is an Image object, from GameObject > UI > Image

but anything I try is read as not a valid name

[polar acorn]

Image

[green copper]

the type or namespace is not found

[north kiln]

Then include the namespace

Is your IDE configured?

It should suggest things as you type

[polar acorn]

Also, it's not "The gameObject is an Image object", it's a GameObject that has an Image Component on it

[polar acorn]

Do you have the namespace

[green copper]

I see, thank you

[north kiln]

and give you namespace suggestions if you get errors regarding namespaces

[green copper]

it successfully autoincluded EventSystems earlier

[green copper]

no, fixing

[frigid sequoia]

Guys, I know this question is kinda abstract, but how do IEnumerators work?

[clear seal]

idk if this is code related but why my canon ball just fall of

[polar acorn]

Any class that implements these properties and methods

[green copper]

My error is now that the object I want to instantiate is null

[polar acorn]

So make it not be null

[frigid sequoia]

Like... I want it to do a fade out effect on a image over a given time; but I nerver undestand the logic of Enumerators

[timber tide]

coroutines are mini update loops

[frigid sequoia]

Like, what should I place in the if? I have been stuck there for a while now XD

[polar acorn]

If you mean coroutines, they are ordinary functions all the way until they hit a yield instruction. They'll then wait for however long that condition specifies (with a WaitForSeconds or a WaitUntil or the like, with the default value of null being "next frame"), then pick up right where they left off

[north kiln]

This does nothing https://unity.huh.how/coroutines/waiting
You should be using a loop with similar logic to this (however not to do with Vector3) https://unity.huh.how/lerp/coroutines

[polar acorn]

If you are getting an error saying this Instantiate is the one with the error, then there exists a mainInvInstancer without a socketPrefab set

[frigid sequoia]

But it is executed only ONCE, just that you can stop it temporarily with wait for seconds?

[north kiln]

Yes

[polar acorn]

Yes, once you start it, it runs straight through, pausing at any yield instruction it finds

[north kiln]

It runs once per call, and each yield is just a place for the state machine to continue from next Update/(other time)

[green copper]

That wasn't it, but toggling the mainInvRoot object on and off in the editor while the game was running fixed it for some reason

[polar acorn]

Your error is on Start. Toggling it wouldn't "fix" it, the error already happened

Start doesn't run again when the object is disabled

then there'll be plenty of time for someone to see it and respond to it

[north kiln]

Cool, well it's not relevant here, and you shouldn't cross-post. So don't

[charred axle]

https://paste.ofcode.org/34QC4T8vtaVGy5x7gRDLqKQ

This works just fine (the way i want it to be at least), thank you guys for ur help ❤️

[north kiln]

You aren't getting the point: don't cross-post, and don't argue about it

[green copper]

correction, I disabled the object, ran the game, then enabled it in scene view while the game was running.

[north kiln]

Then wait like everyone else

[ripe shard]

people who care about mobile look into mobile, if nobody looks into mobile, nobody cares about mobile and consequently your mobile problem, that wont change if you put your problem into other channels.

[frosty hound]

Also generic gradle errors are impossible to debug without diving into the project with someone. Who has that time?

[swift crag]

yes, you need to actually read the error messages and do some research

[north kiln]

Imo someone should just make a site like mine specifically for gradle errors

surely they're all solved problems

I just don't give two shits about mobile so 100% could not be bothered 😄

[ripe shard]

dealing with mobile in your free time is a special kind of masochism 😛

[frigid sequoia]

Can I like do something like this....

Does this work then?

[astral urchin]

says I have 0 errors in the code 😔

[frigid sequoia]

Just to be clear, I want the given image to Fade from the initial Alpha to 0 over the given time; and I want to be able to stop this process with StopCouritine from other methods

[clear seal]

i made a canon and my ball keep clipping why?

[eternal needle]

That's a good thing. If your IDE is configured you can now ask because it's a requirement to get help here

[frigid sequoia]

Are you using rigidBody?

[clear seal]

yeah

[frigid sequoia]

In the ball?

[clear seal]

yeah

[frigid sequoia]

And you want it to collide with a surface with a collider?

[clear seal]

clearly pls

[frigid sequoia]

Should work with just that

[clear seal]

oh ye

[frigid sequoia]

If you are using external methods to move stuff, just as Translate in code, it will always clip through

Since it is not using physics

[clear seal]

hold on

[astral urchin]

followed a tutorial to make the mesh deform when the ray hits the mesh, the input side is working but this deforming code isn't and idk why since I followed the tutorial

[clear seal]

it uses physics

[frigid sequoia]

If you are moving all with physic and you have rigidBody it should collide with all colliders that are not set to be trigger colliders. Have you double checked everything?

[clear seal]

it's supposed to shoot with rigidbody

the problem is that idk if it's my computer who loads while it's shooting or if it's a problem

[zinc grove]

Is it possible to make a sprite look different from 2 different cameras? For example I have 2 players playing chess so their views are from 2 different sides One of the players boards looks correct while the other all of the sprites for the pieces are upsidedown any idea on how to correct this from the camera view or will I have to do something else?

[teal viper]

Is it like sprites in 3d space?

[zinc grove]

Im making a 2d chess game I might not understand what your asking but let me know if this answers it I have a 8x8 board with tile objects that have sprites attached that show the pieces and when they move the sprites get cleared and put where they need to be. I was just looking to see if I could change the visual through 2 different cameras to be rotated 180 degrees so both views look correct.

I guess the same thing would work for the move previews to only show it on the side that is actually moving aswell

[meager raptor]

hi guys does anyone know what this green plus means in the highlight for the playercommander? the playercommander is a unity asset and the cube is just a 3d object i created

[swift crag]

the + indicates that you've added an object to a prefab instance

notice that PlayerCommander has a blue box next to it

A solid blue box is a prefab.
A blue box with a stripe on top is a prefab from an asset (oftentimes a model)

Unity tracks all of the changes you've made to the prefab instance. You can apply them to the prefab or revert them if you want.

for example, I've attached two spot lights to this model

[meager raptor]

ah okay that makes a lot of sense, appreciate it

[swift crag]

Overridden properties will show up as bold and get a blue line next to them in the inspector

er, at least they get a blue line. maybe i'm just imagining the boldness

[teal viper]

I assume that's an online game?

Online games usually handle clients the same way regardless of what side they're on. You would only have 1 camera for the local client and only adjust the player specific data, like the pieces colors.

[tall basalt]

how can I change directional light color at runtime?

I tried this didn't work

Lights[1].color = Color.Lerp(new Color(117, 229, 255), new Color(60, 117, 202), foglerp);

[charred axle]

    {
        hungerSlider.maxValue = amountToBeFed;
        hungerSlider.value = 0;
        hungerSlider.fillRect.gameObject.SetActive(false);
        gameManager = GameObject.Find("GameManager").GetComponent<GameManager>();
    }```

[rich adder]

check lerp as well

[swift crag]

Your colors are wrong

[rich adder]

you're using color

[swift crag]

They take floats in the 0..1 range

[charred axle]

i literally have 0 idea what i have done till now (followed the .pdf, just wanted to see how would it look)

[rich adder]

which is 0-1

color32 is the bytes

[rocky canyon]

Color32 is what ur looking to do

[rocky canyon]

hungerSlider is not assigned

[swift crag]

I'd just calculate the correct values and use Color, but you could definitely use Color32 if you want to keep the 0-255 values

[rocky canyon]

or GameManager cant be found.. unsure tbh

[rich adder]

color32 is more performant afaik

[swift crag]

it's going to get turned straight back into a Color

[rich adder]

is it ? hm weird they recommend Set/GetColor32 but turn into floats for color

[tall basalt]

I tried this still not working

Lights[1].color = Color32.Lerp(new Color32(117, 229, 255, 255), new Color32(60, 117, 202, 255), foglerp);

[rich adder]

show the whole context of this line

[tall basalt]

Lights[] is an array of directional lights
foglerp is a float

running this in update
foglerp += Time.deltaTime * lerpSpeed;
Lights[1].color = Color32.Lerp(new Color32(117, 229, 255, 255), new Color32(60, 117, 202, 255), foglerp);

[rich adder]

https://unity.huh.how/lerp/wrong-lerp

[teal viper]

Can you see if the color changes on the light components?

[teal viper]

This is not really wrong though. Assuming they start at 0.

[teal viper]

And does the code execute? Can you debug the fogLerp value?

[rich adder]

even at 0 it would "work" but its still wrong way to do it

[teal viper]

They add to it over time. I don't see a problem.

[tall basalt]

the problem is with the type it says connot implicity convert type 'UnityEngine.Color32' to 'UnityEngine.Experimental.GlobalIllumination.LinearColor' so it isn't compiling

[rich adder]

You referenced wrong type then

[teal viper]

Ok, so, it's not "not work", it's a freaking compile errors. Please mention that first...

[tall basalt]

sorry 😅

[teal viper]

This is weird though. What type are Lights?

[tall basalt]

Directional Light

[teal viper]

I mean in code...

Can you share the whole script?

thanks

[tall hill]

does anyone know how to create a good isometric char controller

[frosty hound]

Create a normal character controller and just angle the camera

[teal viper]

Sorry for off topic but I was looking for this emoji for 10 years! Where did you get it??

[frosty hound]

Yeah, that lol

[teal viper]

Oh. I see. I thought it was among the standard set or the unity server one.
Thanks!

[frosty hound]

Maybe we can add it 😏

[rocky canyon]

lol, that'd be the new hotness for sure 😄

[tall hill]

did that, how do I polish it? because the camera keeps turning when the player does, and I want it to stay in one spot relative to the player

[frosty hound]

Use Cinemachine to do that

[craggy oxide]

halp pls

says that + can't be applied to Quarternions and Vector3

[teal viper]

It can't.

[craggy oxide]

obviously my method of changing the camera rotation is just wrong so I'm asking for an alternative

i thought it'd be the same as changing camera position

[timber tide]

if only

[teal viper]

Rotation != Position

[craggy oxide]

so what do I do

[wintry quarry]

* Quaternion.Euler(0, 90, 0);

[craggy oxide]

alr thanks

unity courses messing me up lmao

this is the 2nd course where they're like "okay fix these bugs we wont tell you how to do it"
which is fine because we learnt everything before
except for changing camera rotation in C# theres nothing about that yet so im left in the dark

im not even gonna ask what a Quarternion or Euler is, i know its some complex math shi

unless you could explain it in simple terms

[eternal needle]

Euler is something you should probably know already, unless you are very young

[craggy oxide]

nah it wasn't part of our curriculum

cause nationally we're stupid

i'm 17 btw got a B as my final maths grade so yknow not bad

never heard of Eulers

[timber tide]

I would suggest just using angle axis for stuff like the camera, but it's probably fine if you want to use euler. It's just when you're doing more rotation other than a single axis does euler become a little janky

[wintry quarry]

The xyz axis rotation is called euler angles

[eternal needle]

Euler angles is 3 angles, 90 degree is an angle for example.

[wintry quarry]

Quaternions are how Unity actually represents rotation

(Euler angles are named after a mathematician Leonhard Euler)

Same one as the mathematical constant E aka Eulers number

[craggy oxide]

err

yeah

[craggy oxide]

alright this makes a lil more sense to me

[timber tide]

it's more relevant in like college algebra

[craggy oxide]

good thing I didn't take that 😎

my friend took maths, additional maths and further maths

what the hell was he thinking

he's hating life rn

[scenic cipher]

I'm trying to smooth my player's movement but SmoothDamp() doesn't seem to be working correctly, I must be doing something wrong.
I'm trying to make the smoothing take a second, but it ends up taking around 7 seconds. Any idea why?

    private float smoothedX = 0f;
    private float smoothedZ = 0f;
    private float smoothVelocityX = 0f;
    private float smoothVelocityZ = 0f;

    void Update()
    {
        float x = Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal");
        float z = Input.GetAxisRaw("Vertical");

        smoothedX = Mathf.SmoothDamp(smoothedX, x, ref smoothVelocityX, 1f);
        smoothedZ = Mathf.SmoothDamp(smoothedZ, z, ref smoothVelocityZ, 1f);
    }```

[clear seal]

i made a canon and if i want to rotate it, should i do it with GetKey input and then i use transform.rotate or is there an other way to do so

[swift crag]

If you're just rotating left and right as long as the key is held down, then that sounds reasonable.

If you want to limit the rotation, I'd suggest this...

[SerializeField] Quaternion leftLimit;
[SerializeField] Quatenrion rightLimit;
[SerializeField] float turnRate;

void Update() {
  if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.A))
    transform.rotation = Quaternion.RotateTowards(transform.rotation, leftLimit, Time.deltaTime * turnRate);
  if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.D))
    transform.rotation = Quaternion.RotateTowards(transform.rotation, rightLimit, Time.deltaTime * turnRate);
}

This will rotate towards the leftLimit or rightLimit rotations by turnRate degrees per second.

I find this to be a lot more reliable than messing with euler angles

you constantly get footgunned by how they wrap around

[craggy oxide]

oki these unity courses have got me on a good path so far
i'm pretty happy now

just wanted to say that :D

[frigid sequoia]

I must warn you, it sadly gets way less exciting in the middle point

Still you learn a lot and it is cool, just not as engaging I would say

I don't say this to discourage you, quite the opposite; I want you to know that the same happened to me and I pushed on and I don't regret it in the slightest, just don't give up 😄

-= is an opperation, not a declaration, you cannot initialize the value like that

You are telling it to subtract from something that doesn't exist

[long lantern]

Is there anyway to fix it

[frosty hound]

Remove the -

[summer stump]

You would need to do the subtraction inside a method
You tried to do it in what's called the initializer
Which is not allowed

[clear seal]

ok i will see but it's better with no limit, more fun

and easier

[long lantern]

Omds I'm so stupid I've only been codeing since today and didn't realise I put that there

Mb

[frigid sequoia]

I think you don't even need to use the = 0 at all, a primitive value is 0 by default

[swift crag]

Fields are initialized with their default value.

And indeed, for int, default is 0

(default is, literally, the default value for a given type)

local variables are not initialized automatically, so you do have to give an explicit value

[frigid sequoia]

That's actually quite weird honestly

Is there any reason for that?

[swift crag]

Probably because it would require an enormous amount of...

public Foo whatever = null;

You can't reason about whether a field will be assigned before it's used because you can use an instance of the class well after it's created

vs. a local variable, which you explicitly create and then use

[frigid sequoia]

So it would try to initialize all values even though the process path doesn't need them at all...

[swift crag]

The compiler needs to be able to prove definite assignment before a variable is used

[frigid sequoia]

Gotcha

[swift crag]

it would demand that you initialize all of them, because that's the only way it could prove definite assignment

so fields are just initialized automatically to cut down on pointless initializers

that's my interpretation, at least

[night adder]

Is it possible to swap a CapsuleCollider2D between horizontal and vertical with a script?

[frosty hound]

Sure, if it's a property on the component, you can change it in script.

[solemn summit]

Never tried before, but seemingly yes. just use .direction

[night adder]

Somehow completely overlooked that while staring at the documentation lmao

Preciate it fellas

@long lantern
using Random = UnityEngine.Random will resolve the ambiguity if you can't remove System

Otherwise you can qualify the Random by writing UnityEngine.Random.Range

But as you were told before, don't take photos of your screen. That should really go without saying...

[swift crag]

at least wipe off your camera lens

you get those streaks when it's got oil on it

[long lantern]

na my camera just ass

[frosty hound]

Well there's ways to not have to use it

[small mantle]

I'm making a shapeshifting system. This system will have both a regular human form and a shapeshift form. However, the shapeshift form will have more than one type, while the human has only one. I want to know a simple way I can check what form the shapeshift is. I was thinking of using bools, but am not sure how in this case or if there is a better variable type to use.

[timber tide]

I'd say make a bool to check if you're shapeshifted, assuming there's much a human form can do that all shapeshift forms can't do, and then considering how many forms you may have, you can always check upon the type, or enum if you want to keep shapeshift as a single class.

The OOP way would be design a bunch of method implementations like Jump(), Dash(), ect, that all forms would implement and just call them when you do those specific action regardless of your type. Even if some types could not dash, you'd still call them with a minimal implementation.

[burnt rampart]

Hi, so I found I'm running into a common issue, my script is finding an object that is destroyed on next update. Seen a lot of people with similar issues on stackoverflow, but how do you actually get the findObject to be delayed by one update()? One vaguely mentioned it can be done with a bool?

[timber tide]

Sounds like you should just check your objects beforehand before you access them

[burnt rampart]

check for what? is there a 'to be destroyed' flag that gets added or something?

[small mantle]

Oh, so I forgot to add that these other forms just have different values. Lets say there is a light and heavy shapeshift form. They both do the same, but have different values.

[timber tide]

Well, you can do it two ways. One would be to add a flag or disable the object and check against those flags, or resolve the issue in which your methods do not break if these objects are destroyed in the next frame, such as checking nulls and retargeting as an example.

[timber tide]

The OOP way would be ideal then if you wanna design with abstraction implementations then, because if the behavioral methods is the same then you can call them by their base type, but a single shapeshift class could work too if you just wanna swap out stat/damage profiles

[burnt rampart]

oh wait so does the object become null once it actually is destroyed even if findObject got its reference?

[timber tide]

Calling destroy only queues the object to be destroyed but doesn't happen to till end of frame, and after that frame if you try to access it you'll get a null ref exception, so checking nulls is ideal when you're dealing with volatile data like enemies. (but it's always better to just object pool them anyway)

[burnt rampart]

okay thank you! yeah I think that pretty well solves it. If I understand correctly, I just check for null and if it turns up null I just call findObject again to get the new instantiated object

[timber tide]

Yeah, exactly. Just run the method again if needed, but ideally in the next frame and not in a while

[faint osprey]

                {
                    Destroy(currentHole);
                    yield return new WaitForSeconds(0.5f);
                    Instantiate(hole, PM.dungeonSpawns[Random.Range(0, 9)].transform.position + PM.currentRoom.transform.position, Quaternion.identity);
                    Instantiate(hole, PM.dungeonSpawns[Random.Range(0, 9)].transform.position + PM.currentRoom.transform.position, Quaternion.identity);
                    Instantiate(hole, PM.dungeonSpawns[Random.Range(0, 9)].transform.position + PM.currentRoom.transform.position, Quaternion.identity);
                    Instantiate(hole, PM.dungeonSpawns[Random.Range(0, 9)].transform.position + PM.currentRoom.transform.position, Quaternion.identity);
                    EH.treeSpawnCount -= 1;
                    Destroy(gameObject);
                }``` ok this spawns in some gameobjects at spawnlocations pre set out however it chooses them randomly what i want to do is adter the first gameobject has instantiated i want that spawn to not be able to get chosen in the next instantiate

how would i go about doing that

[north kiln]

It's generally easiest if you shuffle the array and then just iterate over it

[ivory bobcat]

Here's a pure c# implementation of creating and randomizing an array

[north kiln]

public static void Shuffle<T>(this IList<T> list, int start = 0)
{
    int count = list.Count;
    for (int i = start; i < count - 1; i++)
    {
        int j = UnityEngine.Random.Range(i, count);
        (list[i], list[j]) = (list[j], list[i]);
    }
}

[small mantle]

It's my first time using . I am trying to make bools with them, is that possible?

[ivory bobcat]

Make bools with what?

[small mantle]

void ManageType() {
        if (shapeShiftType.light) {

        }
    }

    public enum shapeShiftType {

        light,
        heavy,
        dark

        }``` This code I want to use similar to a bool.

It will check if the type is light, dark, or heavy. <- How can I achieve this?

[ivory bobcat]

Use the compare (==) operator or a switch for enums

[small mantle]

the (==) looks to be some sort of int. Is there not a way to make it true or false?

[eternal needle]

You would compare this to a value, the same way you do already with any other data type like int.

int number = 0;
...
if (number == whatever)

you are missing an object of type shapeShiftType

[ivory bobcat]

== is the equality operator that checks if two things are the same (value/ref)

[eternal needle]

what you're trying to do right now is like
if(0)

[ivory bobcat]

Where it would check whatever is left and right of the equality operator

[small mantle]

Are you saying to use a structure with the ints? Like 0 = a shapeshift type, 1 = another?

[eternal needle]

i am saying right now you dont have any object of type shapeShiftType. There are just values defined for type shapeShiftType.

[ivory bobcat]

If myLight == shapeShiftType.dark
it was dark

[north kiln]

enums are just named integral types, starting from 0, in your case light = 0, heavy = 1, and dark = 2.
So your if statement if (shapeShiftType.light) { is basically just if(0) {

Declare an instance of shapeShiftType so you can set it to any of those values, and compare it against the one you're checking for

[small mantle]

This? cs [SerializeField] shapeShiftType currentType;

[north kiln]

That'll do it

[eternal needle]

yes now you can compare that to being light, heavy, dark

[small mantle]

So all I can do is check if it is 0, 1, 2, etc.

[ivory bobcat]

Or rather switch (myLight) case shapeShiftType.light: ... break; case shapeShiftType.heavy: ... break; ... etc

[north kiln]

functionally, sure, but they're now named

[small mantle]

I'll have to learn cases then. Thanks for the help!

what's the best way to make an openable/closable door for a very simple 3d game? Using hinge components, an animation, using code, what?

[charred spoke]

Your gonna have to use code for any method

With a hinge you would get a more physicsy type of door you can push. Animation would be probably be easier to set up

Just one animation for opening and then play it in reverse for closing

[small mantle]

Is there a way to make this easy to change? I know that there isn't a stats variable. I am asking how I can make one that functions like a overall stat ```cs
case 0:
turretStats = LightTurret.stats;
break;
public class LightTurret : TurretStats{

public float hp = regular;
public float dmg = low;
public float moveSpeed = veryFast;
public float jumpForce = strong;

}

[charred spoke]

Is this pseudo code ?

[polar acorn]

Explain what you want to do without code. Like what is the actual functionality you want to happen in game

[small mantle]

I am trying to make a turret that can change types (e.g. dark, light, heavy, etc). These types have different float values. All I need is a way to change the regular turret stats into the type turret stats.

[polar acorn]

So, like, you want to have pre defined "light" "normal", etc. values that you can swap between?

[small mantle]

Correct!

[polar acorn]

Probably the best way to do this is to create an enum for the different types, and then for each variable instead of having a single float, make it a list or array. Then you can cast the enum to int and use it as an index to the list

So "light" is 0, "medium" is 1, "heavy" is 2, etc.

[teal viper]

Maybe a list of predefined SOs for stats?

[polar acorn]

And enums are just integers under the hood, they count up in order. So if you just define them in some order and keep that same order when you write your lists you can use a named enum as an index

If you don't want to worry about ordering it, a dictionary is fine too

[wet heath]

you can reverse an animation? Is there an option to do that in the animator?

[languid spire]

iirc you need to set the speed to -1

[wet heath]

oh nice, tyvm

Hello, I'm not sure if this question belongs here as I'm not sure if it involves changing code or not.
I have an avatar ready to be uploaded, but there's one more animation I want to it.
However, when importing the animation file, I get errors and I believe it's saying the scripts for the animations are trying to run from dynamic bones, when the avatar uses physbones. Is there a way to update/change the script so it will use the physbones instead?
Thank you!

[languid spire]

first you need to determine what is actually null, script1 or script1.script2

[timber tide]

post the bullet script

[charred spoke]

Because fast moving rigid bodies dont make good bullets

[timber tide]

yeah may just wanna use raycasting

rigidbody is actually decent at highspeed stuff, but you may need to add some additional logic

(at least better than my methods)

[prime horizon]

I'm making the character be able to dash, but when the character in the air, the character dashed really short. I hooked up a Debug.Log to monitor the dashVelocity variable, but it turned out to be identical even when in the mid air.
This is the code handling the Dash methods
https://gdl.space/ajanucicof.cpp

[prime horizon]

About the character suddenly dashes backward, this is expected because I want the character to dash backward when the horizontal input is not performed

[timber tide]

you only set the velocity once in the script but it's still being changed throughout the coroutine, no?

actually not too sure, but log throughout the duration if you havent

[faint sluice]

Probably won't work but just in case try resetting velocity to zero before applying dash velocity on rigidbody?

    float3 color = (textureLod(equirectTexture, sampleUv, level).xyz)*(1.0-local)

that's my calculation to make up for the stretching but that does not seem to be working, why is that so?

[prime horizon]

That's the worse part of it, I might say. I really don't know how to utilize the debug feature :))
Everytime I look at the debug, my brain cooks itself and die :))

[faint sluice]

You just print whatever data you want to see and confirm it's same as what is expected to be at the time

[prime horizon]

I did use Debug.Log to print out the dashVelocity.
The weird thing that is the both on ground and mid air dash gave me the same results.

[faint sluice]

For example at line 16 you would print Debug.Log(Dashvelocity);
To see if it matches the expected calue

[prime horizon]

They gave me the expected value. But the travel distant in the air is much shorter than on the ground.

[zealous atlas]

how do you get rid of distortion in a cubemap?

[west sonnet]

My animation only plays once. Anyone know why that could be? My code for the animation is pretty simple

[sonic dome]

click the animation in asset

there will be a loop check

make sure its checked

@west sonnet

[honest haven]

doesnt seem to toggle and is constainly on. not sure if thats the correct componenet

[dark hatch]

isn't there literally a error

[zealous atlas]

how can I fix my cubemap looking like this that' s the map I'm unwrapping onto my cubemap

[gilded verge]

why are shadows doing this even ingame can someone tell me how to fix it?

[languid spire]

@zealous atlas @gilded verge This is a code channel

[zealous atlas]

it's a math issue

well, take it to advance with some actual math then instead of assuming we know it by the image

@slender nymph that issue is had with OnMouseEnter/Exit fixed itself randomly just when i was about to ask my lecturer about it :/

Didn't change anything at all and it just started working properly

[slender nymph]

could've just been an editor bug 🤷‍♂️

[rancid tinsel]

Kind of upset that I can't find out what the issue was but I guess its better that it's fixed

I rebuilt the project on a new unity version as well which works fine so it was all a waste of my time 😭

I did learn how to use pointerevents tho so thats good

hi, i wanted to knwo why i can't drop the TMP Text i created in the slot of the function (it even says that the type is mismatch, anyone knwo why?)

[slender nymph]

are you sure you are using a TextMeshProUGUI object? and if you are certain that is the type of object you are dragging in, are you certain that you are not trying to drag a scene object into a prefab?

[queen adder]

Is that even a "beginner" issue lmao

[slender nymph]

it's just them posting a #archived-shaders issue in #💻┃code-beginner again despite having been told probably dozens of times now that shader issues belong in the shaders channel

[pale jetty]

well the one i try to dragged to it, i created by doing right click - UI - Text TextMeshPro , so it must be a tmp Text no ? because i did that before and it worked perfectly

[slender nymph]

you can literally just look at the component to confirm. but yes that would most likely be a TextMeshProUGUI object

so now we move on to the second part of my message, are you dragging a scene object into a prefab

[pale jetty]

yes

[slender nymph]

that is the entire issue then.
https://unity.huh.how/references/prefabs-referencing-components

[pale jetty]

i dragged into prefab asset

[zealous atlas]

yeah 2 years beginner

[tough lagoon]

Looks to me like you are treating it as a 360 panorama, but the image you are using isn't a panoramic image

[zealous atlas]

thanks that makes a lot of sense, so I can't use a eqirectangular texture as a skybox?

[tough lagoon]

A 360 will be warped on the top and bottom, example here:
https://spectrum.ieee.org/media-library/a-360-degree-panoramic-simulation-of-the-lunar-surface-used-by-the-researchers-to-represent-terrain-similar-to-that-of-the-moon.jpg?id=25586717

[faint sluice]

We ain't HR bro, 2 years isn't "beginner"

[zealous atlas]

llody gave me some crazy good info

thanks

[tough lagoon]

You can for sure, there are different types of cubmap settings

[zealous atlas]

oh so I have to use a different projection?

[tough lagoon]

I think so, I'm just waking up in honesty, so my brains a touch fuzzy... I'm having a hard time finding a good reference for you

I know unity out of the box handles a bunch of different projection types. And that they can be used for skyboxes. The bottom image in your example looked like it was more meant for a UV sphere or something therein

But the visual looked like it's trying to draw it as a 360, so it squishes the top and bottom

[zealous atlas]

hm yes so following things are happening
I have a equirectangular map
then a shader writes to each face of the cubemap using longitude and latitude but the pixels get dispatched for each pixel on the cubemap

[limpid wren]

I'm putting a lot of projectiles on the screen at once and am looking for a good solution to this. The projectiles can't be replaced by raycasts as they are slower moving objects.

Should I still put a rigidbody on these and move them through its velocity, or is there a better way to do this? The projectiles will have colliders on them and not necessarily always move on a straight line.

[languid spire]

define a lot

[limpid wren]

Maybe like, 20 on screen at once

up to maybe 40

[languid spire]

not a lot, use rigidody

[limpid wren]

What do you consider the upper limit for rigidbody to be?

[timber tide]

it also depends how fast they are going

test it out first with rb though

[languid spire]

depends on your target platform, but generally < 100 for mobile or WebGL

[limpid wren]

I do need a rigidbody on objects that are supposed to physically collide, right?

As opposed to just registering "hits"

[buoyant knot]

only if they move

[languid spire]

you need a rigidbody on one or both of the collidee and collidor

[tulip stag]

Why am I getting a null reference exception in ``` private void MoveToCursor()
{
// Trace a ray from the camera to the mouse position
mouseRay = Camera.main.ScreenPointToRay(Input.mousePosition);
RaycastHit hit;
bool hasHit = Physics.Raycast(mouseRay, out hit);

    // Move to the mouse position
    if (hasHit)
    {
        agent.SetDestination(hit.point);
    }
}``` in the line with `Camera.main.ScreenPointToRay`? Like, I assume it's because the reference to the `Camera` is null, but shouldn't `Camera.main` automatically be assigned to my `Camera` Game Object?

[limpid wren]

So bullets that bounce off walls for example

I could have a rigidbody on the bullet but don't need one for the wall

a collider is enough?

[languid spire]

yes, or the other way round

[buoyant knot]

physics system moves things while respecting collidions by moving the rigidbodies during physics step

if you have an obj with collider, no rigidbody, and doesn’t move, then it will be fine

[limpid wren]

You can put a breakpoint and step through this and you'll see exactly where the null is

[tulip stag]

The documentation says that it uses the "The first enabled Camera component that is tagged "MainCamera" (Read Only)", but how do I access this tag?

[tulip stag]

I'm pretty sure it's in Camera.main
I'm just wondering how to make sure Camera.main accesses my scene's camera

[timber tide]

Unity tags if you've not used them yet

[tulip stag]

oh.

[buoyant knot]

is Camera.main null?

[tulip stag]

Yep, I just checked. It's there. Perhaps I'm stupid ☝️ 😺

Thanks guys lmao

[buoyant knot]

i just put a singleton on my main camera for other reasons

[tulip stag]

About singletons. What would be the best approach? Every "main" script for an object I want to singleton-fy should include a singleton pattern or should I have a "singleton script" with nothing but the singleton pattern that I drop into whichever object I want to make a singleton?

[timber tide]

object pools, game managers, level managers

vfx managers (basically another object pool), load/save manager

databases; items, enemies, npcs (scriptableobject lookup)

[buoyant knot]

i don’t make objects singletons. I make scripts that should be singletons, and put them on objects that should be unique. Because almost every unique object would be getting unique code

[tulip stag]

Yes yes I know. What I'm asking if I should have the whole awake singleton thing on every single one of these scripts, or if I should have 1 script with only the singleton pattern that I drag into these objects

[tulip stag]

oh ok !

[buoyant knot]

like, if i make a CameraController that moves the camera, that should be a singleton

i should never have 2 instances fighting over the camera

then obviously, CameraController would be on the Camera’s object

I also have a singleton called WorldObjectReferences, that just stores serialized fields as references to unique gameobjects that lack code.

Things like the starting position and goal flag

[timber tide]

The second suggestion is more related to another type of pattern (service locator and other subsets of it) where you'd have a singleton with a list of keys (like local players from a networking singleton) that defines these specific implementations.

This way you wouldn't have a single camera singleton, but if you grab a player key then you can refer to that specific one. Another type is similar to gameobject component searching where the key reference is composed of different types not known at compile time.

[wet heath]

Are there any suggestions on dealing with the collision of the door, using an animator, it would still retain collision and push the player aside in order to open, unless some fancy tricks used in code would stop the animation when it touches the player

[queen adder]

Can any one help, my problem is that i can see trough the wall, i cant pass the wall but i can see trough it, i dont want to see trough the wall.

[timber tide]

mess with the near clipping plane on the camera

[queen adder]

tysm

[charred spoke]

Well what do you want the door to do when it touches a player ?

[thorn holly]

Can you show the player model and where the cam is positioned on said model?

[wet heath]

Stop I guess. It's a bit janky in hdrp 2021

[queen adder]

i downloaded a free asset on unity

[wet heath]

But that might just be becuz of the character controller?

[charred spoke]

Well check for a collision with the player and stop the animation

[thorn holly]

Can you show it and where the cam is positioned on it

[wet heath]

Okie doke ty

[swift crag]

alterantively, increase the radius of the player collider

either way will work

[graceful flame]

Hey, I am working with wheel colliders to try and get a bike going... I'd say technically... the bike works and drives... but as part of my degree I have a physical bike here which sends data to my game...
In said data there is a km/h (m/s) value - so... I am trying to accelerate the bike to said value... (I don't wanna go into it rn as of to why, I can later though)...

So my problem is... when increasing torque/... the bike only accelerates to about 1.3m/s (and not the 8.3m/s that I am currently trying to test)
Even when increasing the torque to "yes" it stays at around 1.3... maybe gets a bit higher... but I can't accelerate/decelerate in a manner that makes sense... and I am deeply lost...
has anyone maybe an idea what to do? I watched some tutorials and yes read through documentation... but I can't get it running.
Anyone perhaps has a minute to help me?

thats the torque I try to apply to the wheel...

but it seems to "slip" even when I crank up friction...

[slender nymph]

just lerp the alpha channel on its color to 0 and back to 1

[velvet dawn]

hello

how do i control player's terminal speed if i use addforce with forcemode.force

[swift crag]

Terminal velocity is a product of your drag.

However, I'm guessing you don't want to have to fine-tune drag to get the exact velocity you want.

[slender nymph]

you can also just clamp the magnitude of your velocity after applying force if you want finer control over the maximum possible velocity

[swift crag]

An alternative is to just reduce the amount of force you apply if it's in the same direction as your velocity

[polar acorn]

That's a good idea. I mostly just use ClampMagnitude but that seems like a much more physically accurate solution

[velvet dawn]

yea ... simple solutions are best for me i guess

[tight saffron]

hello im encountering a problem that i am not familliar on my unity. im trying to make a 2D game but when i started to try my code, it isn't working. i already have a terrain and it also have a collider even the character. why is that?

#💻┃code-beginner message

[rocky gulch]

can you not drag a child class script to a parent class list in inspector

[slender nymph]

you can

[wintry quarry]

you can drag a GameObject with a child class script attached to it to a field which is expecting a reference to an instance of the parent class.

[tight saffron]

sorry how to use it

[rocky gulch]

wouldnt that be a list of gameobjects then

[wintry quarry]

no

[lavish gate]

Getting a Kernel at index0 is invalid although there are no errors?

[rocky gulch]

oh ok

should i bother with this

or do i just ignore it and its done

[slender nymph]

this means you have either dragged in something that is the wrong type or you are trying to drag a scene object into a prefab

[wintry quarry]

fix it

[rocky gulch]

i did what u said XD, i dragged a gameobject filled with the child script to parent list

[wintry quarry]

You should show the code and then show exactly what you dragged and where you dragged it

[swift crag]

here's a rough idea:

// cut force by by 0% at slowdownStart and by 100% at maxSpeed
float speedFactor = Mathf.InverseLerp(slowdownStart, maxSpeed, rb.velocity.magnitude);

Vector3 desiredMove = // get this from player input
float alignment = Vector3.Dot(desiredMove.normalized, rb.velocity.normalized); // 1 when aligned, -1 when opposite directions
float alignmentFactor = Mathf.InverseLerp(1, 0, alignment); // 0% when aligned, 100% at 90 degrees or more

float forceMultiplier = Mathf.Lerp(1, alignmentFactor, speedFactor); // as speedFactor rises, we care more and more about which way the plyaer is trying to move

[wintry quarry]

this only happens when you assigned something and then changed the type of the list or the thing later.

[deep quarry]

@tight saffron

[velvet dawn]

hey sorry to bother again but by what scale should i reduce force
also i am adding force while i hold the button to make player move ,how exactly is it supposed to work?

[swift crag]

It feels a bit rough to me

i don't like the variable names

[swift crag]

Rigidbody.AddForce should be called every FixedUpdate. It tells the rigidbody how hard it's being pushed

[rocky gulch]

i think this is what u wanted? im not sure
i dragged a gameobject with a card child in it towards the database and there's that

[tight saffron]

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

public class PlayerMovement : MonoBehaviour

        {
            GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>().velocity = new Vector3.(0, 14, 0);
        }
    }
}

[swift crag]

you were not dragging a a "child object" into that field

[tight saffron]

here, im just trying to make the character jump but it isnt working

[swift crag]

you dragged a scene object into an asset's field

[rocky gulch]

hold on

start by making sure that your !IDE is configured so that you can see where your compile error is

[polar acorn]

If that's the exact code you're using then you need to fix your compile error

[rocky gulch]

i dragged a gameobject with the child script in it xD

confusion 1000

[swift crag]

If this game object a prefab, or is it an object in a scene?

[rocky gulch]

oh

its in the scene

[swift crag]

Assets can't reference scene objects.

[slender nymph]

is the gameobject in a scene or was it a prefab? because assets (like scriptable objects) cannot reference in-scene objects except for at runtime (when you pass the reference via code)

[rocky gulch]

my bad

[swift crag]

It's the same reason prefabs can't reference scene objects. Prefabs are assets.

Sounds like you want to make that card into a prefab.

and then, presumably, use the card database to store all your card prefabs so you can spawn them

[rocky gulch]

yeah xD

thanks for the help

[rare basin]

use DoTween

you can fade in/out/chain things in seconds

DoTween.DoFade(desiredValue, duratin)

[slender nymph]

if you don't understand how if and else statements work i'd recommend going through some basic c# courses like the ones pinned in this channel

[rocky gulch]

no wonder my console was sketchy all the time on past projects, if only my teacher taught me this
because it legitimately worked without error as in it accepted the instance and console was not having it

[tight saffron]

i think that my ide is configured

[slender nymph]

screenshot it

[cosmic dagger]

First you check if alpha is greater than or equal to 0. Then the enclosing statement checks if it's equal to 0

Your first statement subtracts alpha if it is equal, so the second if statement won't be true

Also, don't check for equality with a float . . .

[slender nymph]

so you didn't even copy the code correctly then

[tight saffron]

oh i changed it i forgot

[slender nymph]

anyway, use a keycode instead of the string for your Input.GetKeyDown
https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/KeyCode.html

and pay attention to the console when you try pressing the key

[tight saffron]

thanks ill configure it later

ill try to make a progress

[rare basin]

it's a asset

from assetstore, it's free

[swift crag]

when you use a string with GetKeyDown, the compiler cannot help you if you type the name wrong -- all it cares is that you gave it a string

when use a KeyCode, you must type a correct name from the KeyCode enum, like KeyCode.Escape -- if you use an invalid name, you get a compile error

[rare basin]

then make it work

then you did it incorrectly

[errant spear]

Does someone knows how to get rid of that problem?

[rich adder]

do people even read warning/errors anymore..

[errant spear]

That's the error

[wintry quarry]

yes we klnow

remove all the broken script things

that's all

[wintry quarry]

just remove this from your object and move on

[errant spear]

There's nothing linked

no script

nothing

and it displays that

[wintry quarry]

Click this

and remove it

[errant spear]

Ok wasn't thinking i can just remove it

[queen adder]

I have a Serializable class named "Stink". When i create without "readonly" keyword, it works fine. But with readonly, i get null exceptions. How can i avoid that?

Works
private Stink stink = new ();

Not works
private readonly Stink stink = new();

[wintry quarry]

i get null exceptions
Where do you get exceptions?

Show the code that throws the exception and the full exception

actually I think it makes sense. When unity tries to replace your instance with the serialized instance, it won't be able to because you marked it as readonly

remove readonly to avoid that.

[queen adder]

hello

[wintry quarry]

you can't make a serialized field readonly, the Unity Engine needs to be able to write to it.

[queen adder]

i have a issue

this is how it seen at first and then it becomes that when i run the game

[queen adder]

But initializing an object with new() keyword shouldn't avoid that?

character falls and then this happens

[wintry quarry]

When unity deserializes the serialized object, it needs to write to the field

[rich adder]

where is the code question?

[queen adder]

there is no code right now its only a character rigidbody2D box Colliders and Bones

[polar acorn]

This channel is for code questions. Also this just looks like fully expected ragdoll behavior? It's hard to tell without knowing what you want to be happening

[queen adder]

oh im sorry

[polar acorn]

Consider adding what you expect to be happening when you ask this in #💻┃unity-talk since it's not code related

[wintry quarry]

when you drop a ragdoll on the ground, it does that, no?

[queen adder]

its like there is multiple characters

when it hits the floor

[queen adder]

its like motion blur 😄

[wintry quarry]

That's because you have this

Ah, the "Completed Solitaire" effect, that's what the issue was

I didn't even think to check that

Im using unity input system

[hexed terrace]

I would say you can't see those fields because they're const .. but I haven't tried that before, I'm assuming

[slender nymph]

yeah const wouldn't be serialized because they cannot change at runtime

Yeah changed that now I can

But why input sistem not working?

I did it how person in the guide did but my vector is always 0.0

if it works for them, but not you, you did not do it how they did - you've missed something or done something wrong

[earnest atlas]

I mean its the same as that guide had almost

I dont get any errors in console

[hexed terrace]

You also have to setup the actions assets (or whatever they're called) correctly

[earnest atlas]

I had provided their screenshot

They at least look the same as on guide one

[slender nymph]

why do you have a hold interaction on your Movement action

[earnest atlas]

They added on default

[slender nymph]

try removing it

because with it you have to hold the input for whatever the duration is set to for it to invoke the performed event

[earnest atlas]

Nope still 0,0

I did everything like in guide and its just not working

[green copper]

I'm trying to follow a tutorial for grid based inventory but using touch controls instead of mouse. No matter where I place the anchor for the grid, the code always treats the center of the coordinate system as the bottom-right corner of the screen.

[slender nymph]

do you actually have the input system enabled in the active input handling setting?

[earnest atlas]

you mean this?

[slender nymph]

no, i mean the setting that is literally called Active Input Handling in the Player settings

[earnest atlas]

I dont get it

[proper flax]

can someone please tell me whats wrong

its movement

[slender nymph]

i just updated it

[slender nymph]

what do you not get? do you know how to get into the Player settings for your project?

[slender nymph]

okay so complete all of the steps to configure it

[hexed terrace]

you'll need to provide proof - because neither of the screenshots you've shown, have it configured

[earnest atlas]

I dont get what are player settings nor how to get into them?

[slender nymph]

literally first result searching "unity player settings"
https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/class-PlayerSettings.html

[earnest atlas]

Why in the guide nothing was told about this

[slender nymph]

how should i know? but the option to enable the input system was given to you immediately after you installed the package

[earnest atlas]

Huh, dont remember. Probably missed it.

[slender nymph]

you can't miss it. it's a pop up window that prevents you from doing anything else until you've clicked yes or no on it

[earnest atlas]

I was at same time looking into the guide when it was installing

[slender nymph]

what guide? the video you screenshot before?

[earnest atlas]

Yeah the Unity Input

[slender nymph]

link the video

[earnest atlas]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UyUogO2DvwY&t=509s
Its one of shorter ones, not like long ones dont waste 80% of time setting inputs for everything

[slender nymph]

1:09

[earnest atlas]

Dont remember this happening

[polar acorn]

I mean, "setting inputs for everything" seems to be pretty important. Considering you apparently haven't

[minor vale]

Just start over

[earnest atlas]

What cycle who?

gtg

[green copper]

Despite the inclusion of the RectTransform difference in the code, the origin of the grid is always the bottom right corner of the screen. This persists if the anchor is set to the top right, as well.

[slender nymph]

get its anchored position not its position

also you don't need to use GetComponent<RectTransform> you already have a reference to the transform, just cast it to RectTransform instead

[green copper]

like this?

Is this a relatively recent change? The guide I'm following is two years old and didn't mention it

[slender nymph]

no, it's how you've always had to get the anchored position of the object

[green copper]

Odd... maybe I just missed it, but thank you for the help

seems to be working now

[craggy oxide]

this script works. but i want to replace Input.GetKeyDown("a") with Input.GetAxis("Horizontal")
problem is, Input.GetAxis counts as a float not a boolean so it doesn't work with the If statement
is there any way of making this happen?

[slender nymph]

compare it against 0

[craggy oxide]

does it automatically gain a higher value than 0 when activated or do i have to assign it that value

[slender nymph]

Input.GetAxis will return a value from -1 to 1 depending on what is held for that axis. when nothing is held it will be 0

although GetAxis has some input smoothing so you may want to use GetAxisRaw instead

[craggy oxide]

does anything else need to be changed for GetAxisRaw or can I treat it the same as GetAxis

[slender nymph]

why don't you take a look at the docs and see what the difference is

[craggy oxide]

hey what's the operator for "does not equal"

is it !=

[slender nymph]

there are beginner c# courses pinned in this channel, perhaps you should start there

[craggy oxide]

alr well i figured it out

[craggy oxide]

the answer to this was "yes (you can treat it the same)"

[craggy oxide]

and the answer to this was "yes"

i feel like checking the documentation and taking courses would have just wasted time lmao

[slender nymph]

you are right. and anyone with basic knowledge of the language would know that. if you don't want to learn the basics then don't expect much help here

[craggy oxide]

yeah but I mean like, I was just double-checking yknow

you didnt need to act like i was completely wrong and clueless if i hit the nail on the head

kinda misleading

[polar acorn]

There were almost three minutes between your question and your answer. In that time surely you could have hit Ctrl+T and typed this into google and seen the giant info card

[craggy oxide]

bro this discord isnt my top priority
"there were three minutes between your question and answer" 💀

i spent 30 seconds changing the code to see if it worked, it did, and then i went back to the unity course i'm following

[polar acorn]

My point is that you literally didn't even need to ask the question. It took you longer to type the question than it would to just plug keywords into google

[craggy oxide]

i only asked the questions here because i thought i'd get a straight yes/no answer and not "try checking the docs"

point is, isn't this chat supposed to help beginners instead of just directing them elsewhere

[slender nymph]

#854851968446365696

[craggy oxide]

ah

yeah you know what thats on me then, fair enough

didn't see that lmao

my baddd

[polar acorn]

Seriously, typing the question into google is faster than wasting everyone's time expecting someone to answer it for you. You could have spent less overall time for fewer people by just googling basic syntax questions

[craggy oxide]

its over bro

its over

[atomic yew]

Hi. If I send my codes now, can you check my error?

[slender nymph]

you can just share your issue and relevant code and errors in here and anyone who knows how to help you can do so

[atomic yew]

ok thank you very much. Before I updated my code, everything was working fine, but the changes I made to the code caused the problem. But I don't know what happened. I would be very happy if someone who knows could help me. I'm sending the codes now.

[terse yacht]

i googled how to use the Material.SetColor() and idk what context i have to use it in is it the public void or is it within a public void i just dont understand how to use it i need to use it for my assignment to make it change the color of an object when i apply it to my ray cast it needs to toggle for said color back to default or reset back to default

[polar acorn]

It's a function you call when you want to set a Color property on a material

public void doesn't mean anything, that's an accesss modifier and a return value so I have no idea what you mean by that

[stark flint]

hey guys so how do i check if an object is facing another specific object

[terse yacht]

thats what i ment by that but thanks for explain

[polar acorn]

I have no idea what language this is in or what the issue is but general takeaways just glancing at it:

1. When you find yourself numbering variables, you probably want to use a list
2. When you're doing the exact same code with the exception of what variables it's affecting, you should use a loop

[polar acorn]

Why are you trying to make a new function and why does your function have a . in its name

[slender nymph]

yeah i'm not gonna be able to parse that. i don't read whatever language it is you code in 🤷‍♂️

[vague dirge]

Hello, how can I make my character speed vary from joytick tilt ? I have a vector3 made up from vertical and horizontal values, I tried to multiply it by the sum the horizontal and vertical values, but it doesn't work because it's slowed down diagonally

[atomic yew]

My problem is that the script inside the object does not run unless I click on the object where the script is located. The object I call is the player.

[slender nymph]

#💻┃code-beginner message

[slender nymph]

what do you mean by "vary from joystick tilt"? and how are you getting your input

[stark flint]

please may someone help.

[polar acorn]

Get the direction from one object to the other, then use the Dot Product of that direction and the object's transform.forward. Dot Product is closer to 1 the closer the vectors are to the same direction. You can check if the value is greater than some amount, and adjust that amount for how much "sameness" you want to check for

Try different values to see which one is close enough to what you're expecting

[vague dirge]

Like the more you are tilting it (approaching it to the value = 1), the fastest the player is. I get my input with Input's manager joystick X and Y axis

[slender nymph]

show your actual code for how you get input

[vague dirge]

        float vertical = Input.GetAxis("Vertical");```

thats it

[slender nymph]

no it isn't. show the full !code

Sorry i am creating a enemy who walks towards the player rn but everytime the enemy starts walking it then suddenly stops for 10 seconds then continues ```c#
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;

public class CowboyAnimationScript : MonoBehaviour
{
// Start is called before the first frame update

public Animator cowboyAnim;
public Transform lookObject;
public float maxTurnSpeed = 50f;

private void Awake() {
    cowboyAnim = GetComponent<Animator>();       
 }

void Start()
{
    
}
private void Update() {
    Vector3 direction = lookObject.position - transform.position;
    transform.rotation = Quaternion.RotateTowards(transform.rotation, Quaternion.LookRotation(direction), maxTurnSpeed * Time.deltaTime);
    cowboyAnim.SetBool("walk", true);
    
}

}

[polar acorn]

That will get you a value between -1 and 1 depending on the degree to which you are moving the joystick. As it approaches is maximum value in that direction, it approaches 1

[vague dirge]

OH YES THATS IT

I FORGOT A MATH.ABS

THANK YOU

[polar acorn]

Nothing in this code moves the player. This just animates

[atomic yew]

programming language c# normal language Turkish

[slender nymph]

and again, i don't read turkish. i cannot read your code. therefore i cannot help you

[atomic yew]

ok

[terse yacht]

idk thats heonstly how it seem like i had to use it

[polar acorn]

Which is a sure-fire sign you don't know basic C# syntax. Check the guides in the pins. Learn what a method is and how to call them

[buoyant knot]

i think he/she just does not understand the syntax for C#

[polar acorn]

Exactly, which is why I said to look at the pins

Specifically the intro to C# course linked

[terse yacht]

well it was more the fact the website didnt explain what it was it said what it was not how to use or a good example i understand syntax i was getting pissed i could not figure it out that i tried it to see if it would work

[stark flint]

it is not the player it is an enemy and it does move it because of what the animation is júst please explain why it is pausing midway

[polar acorn]

Nothing in this code moves the enemy. This just animates

[polar acorn]

[proper flax]

how

[polar acorn]

Read the bot

[slender nymph]

#💻┃code-beginner message

[terse yacht]

thats what i was using i was confused cause ive never use any set color or color related code before

[polar acorn]

You call the function

with the parameters you want to use

[stark flint]

animations can change position

[polar acorn]

Then if that's the case I'd say the reason your position isn't changing is because your animation isn't changing its position

[stark flint]

it is however it is taking pauses inbetween

[terse yacht]

so this code is going to be apply to my ray cast interact script i attach it to ray cast and set the toggle and im able to click e for it to change color is the end goal so that means i can change any object color that has my interactable script to it so when unity documentation site say cubeRenderer.material.SetColor dose cube renderer mean just strictly cubes or what cause i assumed i could use mesh renderer cause i have that on all my game objects and apparently i cant use mesh renderer to replace it so what do i have to do?

[slender nymph]

where have you declared the variable called meshRenderer

[polar acorn]

What is meshRenderer

[polar acorn]

Probably because your animation is telling to do that

[stark flint]

even though before the code it just kept the animation going

[scarlet skiff]

why cant i drag my image into the "source image" of the image component??

[rich adder]

cause its not a sprite ?

also not a code question

[scarlet skiff]

its a png image what else does it have to be

[rich adder]

right now its just a texture according to unity

png != sprite

[polar acorn]

A sprite

in the import settings

which is not code

[scarlet skiff]

ok thanks

[terse yacht]

idk i didnt have a cube renderer like how the site said and it flashed error at me so i tried to see if it had to be mesh renderer

[polar acorn]

You have to use a variable that exists

Do you have a variable named meshRenderer in your code

What are you trying to get the material of

[terse yacht]

yes but i 100% sure i called it wrong and the end goal is so when i apply it to my interactable ray cast i can look at a said object (any object in my game) and tap my interact button it will switch the color to any color and i was told i have to use material.SetColor to do so

[polar acorn]

What is this

Seriously, stop guessing

learn C#

[slender nymph]

there are beginner c# courses pinned in this channel. you should start there instead of attempting to code by approximation

[terse yacht]

im in class trying to learn im taking mastery coding provided by my tech school and its ass at teaching

[meager steeple]

just a quick question do you have to use visual studio for unity?

[slender nymph]

you should try doing beginner coding before mastery 😉

[terse yacht]

it is

[scarlet skiff]

am i missing a package if its grayed out?

[slender nymph]

your options for supported IDEs are Rider, Visual Studio, and VS Code. that also happens to be ordered from best to worst

[terse yacht]

https://www.masterycoding.com/

[polar acorn]

Then you should start learning on your own

[meager steeple]

why is rider better?

[rich adder]

what's grayed out?

[scarlet skiff]

cant access it

[polar acorn]

what

[meager steeple]

or is it more personal preference?

[rich adder]

what is "it"

[slender nymph]

better features, better analyzers. jetbrains products are just great in general

[scarlet skiff]

the texture type

it no no wanna

[polar acorn]

Is this file embedded in another asset

you'll need to extract it

[rich adder]

ahh yea its read only

[terse yacht]

i have but i dont get time to cause i have to complet mastery coding then take my certification test for C# that im going to fail and then make a game

[rich adder]

make a copy is usually fix too

[scarlet skiff]

idk bro i just right cliekd my sprite folder and clicked import new asset

[scarlet skiff]

tanks

[polar acorn]

Well if the end goal is a certification for knowing C# then you demonstrably do not. Helping pass that would be academically dishonest

You are able to learn things outside of a school environment you know. If the class isn't teaching you, there are myriad resources available to learn on your own

like the ones in the pins I keep referring to
