You call SetColor on a material.
You can get a material from a renderer.

This is the answer. But you literally do not know the language so you don't know the answer. I cannot help you if you do not know the first thing about C# syntax. I'm not going to write it for you and I'm not going to give you a personal tutoring session on how code works when there's plenty of resources out there for you to read on your own. Go learn how to write C# code and then come back when you understand how to type literally anything into a script and have it compile

i do understand these are scripts i made and also i never asked you t do it for me nor do i want u to i wanted an example cause i would rather have a visual example i can base off of and i dont need you to tutor me because if i would have asked you to while i might not know the language im currently trying to learn it and one the new things was the set color and i didnt understand how to use it because i had no pervious work with material colors

#

there are plenty of visual examples of how to create a variable, assign a reference to it, and call a method on it in each of those scripts

polar acorn
#

your issues are "not knowing how to call a function" and "not knowing what a variable is"

#

which have absolutely nothing to do with materials or colors

hey guys, im using a premade package called kinematic charachter controller to set up my player controller and im facing some issues.
as you can see the Y rotation of the player is not acting like how it should.
any ideas where the issue is? im guessing it has something to do with the ProjectOnPlane things in the code snippet down below but i cant figure it out.

code snippet related to setting the player rotation:

//Calculate camera direction and rotation on the character plane
            Vector3 cameraPlanarDirection = Vector3.ProjectOnPlane(targetCamRot * Vector3.forward, Motor.CharacterUp).normalized;
            if (cameraPlanarDirection.sqrMagnitude == 0f)
            {
                cameraPlanarDirection = Vector3.ProjectOnPlane(targetCamRot * Vector3.up, Motor.CharacterUp).normalized;
            }
            Quaternion cameraPlanarRotation = Quaternion.LookRotation(cameraPlanarDirection, Motor.CharacterUp);

            if (cameraPlanarDirection.sqrMagnitude == 0f)
            {
                cameraPlanarDirection = Vector3.ProjectOnPlane(targetCamRot * Vector3.up, Motor.CharacterUp).normalized;
            }

all the code i found related to setting CharachterUp seen in the previos code snipper:

public Vector3 CharacterUp { get { return _characterUp; } }
private Vector3 _characterUp;
...

_characterUp = _transientRotation * _cachedWorldUp;

            float mouseY = lookInput.y * sensitivity;
            //we use the lookInput values to rotate the camera horizontally and vertically using the transform.Rotate() and Quaternion.Euler() functions 
            //respectively.
            rotation.x -= mouseY;
            rotation.x = Mathf.Clamp(rotation.x, -90f, 90f);

            rotation.y += mouseX;

            camHolder.transform.localRotation = Quaternion.Euler(rotation.x, 0f, 0f);
            Character.targetCamRot = rotation.y;

👍

cosmic dagger

As you see from all of our responses, there are multiple ways to create this functionality . . .

meager steeple
#

which way would you say is the simplest

eternal needle
# meager steeple which way would you say is the simplest

Depends entirely on the use case. Something simple may be like having a monobehaviour that lets you plug in the audioclip, then all the buttons just pass that clip to an audio source and play. but then if you want to add functionality where you can play different sounds from a list of clips, a SO wouldve been better from the start.

#

Simple may make it tedious to add functionality later

I'm trying to instantiate a sprite, and the sprite is being parented to another sprite with scale 1, 1, 1. That sprite is parented to a canvas set to Screen Space Camera. The new sprite, the one generated by instantiating, is generated at scale 240, 240, 240.

polar acorn
#

First off, you should probably spawn the object directly as a child of the object you want it to be a child of, rather than spawning it at the top level, then setting the parent, that could cause some scale problems

I'm trying to align my player game object with the surface it's standing on so that it's always rotated towards the normal of the surface (makes the player look perpendicular to surface). My character can move well on slopes (increase and decrease top speed on slopes as well as keep momentum) but it doesn't rotate yet. I've been trying lots of different ways to do this but I haven't been able to achieve this (problems that arise are: the camera jitters and changes angle (not settings) of my cinemachine, no changes in rotation, wonky rotation, and immediate jitter rotation followed by instantaneous reset of normal rotation (at least that's what I think happens, it's a bit too fast for me to tell confidently) ).
The code I currently have is this:

private void SurfaceAllignment()
    {
        RaycastHit hit;
        if (Physics.Raycast(transform.position, Vector3.down, out hit, playerHeight * 0.5f + 0.2f, whatIsGround))
        {
            // Calculate the target rotation based on the ground normal
            Quaternion targetRotation = Quaternion.FromToRotation(Vector3.up, hit.normal);

            // Gradually rotate the player towards the target rotation using Slerp
            transform.rotation = Quaternion.Slerp(transform.rotation, targetRotation, rotationSpeed * Time.deltaTime);
        }
    }

I've tried different things like RotateTowards and such, but the problems persist.
I'm starting to think that it may have to do with me using cinemachine. I think it may be messing with the rotation. It may not, but I can't really think of anything else. Does anyone know if there's something I'm missing?

slender nymph
#

are you using a CharacterController?

vague ingot
#

no, rigidbody

#

I put that method in a seperate script and placed it in the player capsule (child object of player. GFX holder), the problem still remains :/ I did notice one thing tho. I disabled said script and manually rotated the object during play time. This gave the same effect as when the script was enabled. So now I'm thinking it's most likely the camera script. These are the only scripts after all

slender nymph
#

if the issue is camera jittering, then you might be updating the camera on the wrong time step

vague ingot
#

I'm not really messing with the camera itself tbh, The freelook cinemachine has a script but the script just switches the orientation of the player (player has another child called orientation which dictates whats forward. It's for movement)

stuck palm
#

whats the event for when a button is selected? like iPointerselect or whatever

heres the cinemachine script in case you wanna see it. But like I said, I don't think it actually does anything to the jittering of the player rotation. Player has rigidbody, where my movement script is located, along with 2 child objects. One is the GFX holder, which is just a fancy way of saying the capsule (later I'll replace it with an actual 3d model), and the other is the orientation. which is rotated through this script to determine the forward (movement direction based on camera forward).

hi, I can't figure this out, can someone help me?
I have a boolean private static bool x;
which then I use for a method call (from another class) CreateAxisOverlay.CreateX(x);
that method for now just sets the boolean value to true: c# public static void CreateX(bool x) { xAxisInitialized = true; }
but then if I try to use the boolean in the "original class" it returns false, it only returns true inside the called method, how can I get the method to change the value of the one boolean I passed as parameter?

#

with the "original class" I mean the one in which I called the method

Either pass it as a ref or out or return the value and assign it in the calling class

When you make a call to a method, the passed variables get copied. In case of value types, well - you copy only the value. It's not the same variable but a local copy of it. In case of reference types (classes) you also make a local copy, but the way classes work is that they hold a reference to the actual data instead of holding it directly - so it's fine to pass classes and modify their fields since they point to (reference) the original data, but for value types you gotta do it differently.

                int roomRand = Random.Range(0,rooms.Length);
                
                Instantiate(rooms[i], roomConnLoc.position, Quaternion.identity);
                roomConncections.Remove(roomConnLoc);
                roomController.rooms -=1;```

Hey guys, I'm trying to detect if there is a collision with any object on a certain layer, but even though I *visually *see the raycast colliding (with the correct object, with the correct layerMask), it's still not detecting any collision. Here's my code any ideas?

https://gdl.space/japujijami.cs

strange peak
wintry quarry
#

something like that yes

strange peak
#

alr

wintry quarry
#

but it's more like rand(0, sum_of_all_probabilities)

#

better thought of as "weights" really

strange peak
#

yeah

#

also what is the last line for? i dont understand it

wintry quarry
#

let's say you have items with weights 3, 8, and 5.
so you do rand(0, 16) (16 is the sum of all the weights)
Let's say the random number picked is 7.
Then in the loop you do:

first item - weight is 3
7 < 3 ? no
so 7 = 7 - 3 = 4
second item - weight is 8
4 < 8 ? yes
so you pick the second item```

Any way to do something similar to on trigger enter when none of my colliders(trigger, and the object that will pass through it) have a rigidbody?
My players physics are custom and handled via a script so it dosnt have a rigidbody, but i still need triggers.

wintry quarry
#

If you have moving objects with colliders though,m they should really have a rigidbody

vast vessel
#

Oh! Didn't know thats a thing. Ill check it out

wintry quarry
#

you can use a kinematic rigidbody

#

and still use OnTriggerEnter

vast vessel
#

Also its just unneded overhead

#

And performance cost

wintry quarry
#

pretty sure KCC uses a Kinematic Rigidbody anyway

I dont think so, i cant see a rb component on my gameobject, even with debug mode enabled in my inspector

toxic latch
#

For some reason, I can't seem to get a very simple text display to work. I have a text UI element named TextBox and a script named DisplayText which is attached to a game object. My understanding is that I need to drag TextBox from the hierarchy to the component on the game object but I'm not able to.

rich adder
toxic latch
#

Nope, just a game object wit hthe DisplayText script attached.

rich adder
#

or maybe the types don't match at all.

{
    public Text TextBox;
    public string textToDisplay = "My Text";

    void Start()
    {
        TextBox.text = textToDisplay;
    }  
}```
rich adder
#

and you have TextMeshPro component as your UI?

toxic latch
#

TextBox is a from the UI/Text - Text Mesh Pro option in the dropdown

rich adder
#

yes types dont match

toxic latch
#

I've looked at a couple of guides and really don't see why this isn't working.

green copper
#

Touch Ended will only run reliably on the first instance of the game running, and I cannot figure out why

rich adder
#

because its the wrong type

toxic latch
rich adder
rich adder
#

use TMP_Text or TextMeshProUGUI

toxic latch
#

There we go. 👍 Thanks much.

#

Is it normal that I don't have a standard Text option in the UI dropdown? I only have the TMP version.

rich adder
#

Yes

twilit pilot
#

I'm sure Unity will get around to properly integrating TMP and fix all the weird third-party plugin naming and feel of it all any decade now

I think it's a rite of passage basically everyone has to go through to realise Text is not actually text (well, it is, but not the one you thought it was)

I have a question regarding the Scriptable Object.
here is my plan: I have buttons in my clicker game that are different upgrades. for instance I have a +1 (reward) per tap. if the player presses this the cost should go up on the upgrade and how many you have owned. this is basically the same mechanic for every button, but with slightly faster upgrades like 1+ (reward) per second, or +10 (reward) per second. could I make this in a scriptable object, or should I just use normal code to make this happen? I am reusing them, but I am unsure if this is even worth going for. if it is, can someone also provide me some tips? because I do know how to do it without scriptable objects, but just not with the scriptable objects. thanks for all the help I can get!

Hey, I am trying to make the player allow to move a little in the air but does not exceed the maximum speed limit that he can move at. My problem here is that when the character is moving faster then that speed, the speed would stay the same and will not allow the player to move in the air. Here is my code:

        if (Math.Abs(rb.velocityX) <= maxRunningSpeed){
            rb.AddForce(new Vector2(direction * speed_mid_air, rb.velocity.y));
        }
        else if(Math.Abs(rb.velocityX) > maxRunningSpeed){
            rb.velocity = new Vector2(direction * Math.Max(maxRunningSpeed,initialHorizontalSpeed), rb.velocity.y);
        }```
I am pretty sure that it is because of my if statement, but I just can't seem to have an simple idea to fix this. Can someone help?

I am new to Unity and I am still learning a lot of things... let me know if this is not the right channel to ask for help.
I have an Animator Controller with one animation for my UI(initial menu), I created a New state in animator controller to become the default state and a trigger for the transition between "empty default state" and "Closing" state, it is firing after I click a button and works fine!
But when I try to LoadScene again(come back to the main menu scene), and click the same button, it looks like both states are "Stuck" and nothing happens...

craggy oxide
#

can someone explain this line to me step-by-step
it's kinda glazed over in the course

image.png
swift crag
#

that's a for loop.

#

the example on the page I just linked is nearly identical to your code.

craggy oxide
#

ooooh thank you

#

that explains everything

#

sweet

eternal needle
#

A simpler way would just be using rigidbody though, or an animation

swift crag
#

subtracting the square of deltaTime makes no sense

#

this kind of looks like a kinematic equation of motion

#

but those use elapsed time

eternal needle
#

i was assuming the goal was some upside down quadratic equation raised slightly

#

which would follow -x^2 + some X

#

hm but that'd be + a constant actually so yea idk what the goal is here. Likely just magic numbers

craggy oxide
#

oki i think i get it now

so
"for (int i = 0; i < 3; i++)"
translates to
"i is worth 0, if it's worth less than 3, increase i's value by 1"

#

so for arrays it goes through the list one-by-one using that

#

right?

swift crag
#

not exactly: it's not just that it checks if i < 3 and increments i if that's true

#

if i < 3, the loop body runs

#

after the loop body is done, it increments i

#

then it checks again if i < 3

craggy oxide
#

once i < 3 it stops working?

swift crag
#

you mean once i < 3 is false?

craggy oxide
#

...yes?

#

i think :P

swift crag
#

you wrote "once i < 3"

#

that would mean "once i is less than 3"

craggy oxide
#

oh right yeah

#

hahahaha

#

my bad

swift crag
#

the loop will stop once i >= 3 is true

#

or when i < 3 is false, equivalently

craggy oxide
#

oki thank you Fen this helps a lot

swift crag
#

It increments the index value, i, until it's not smaller than the array's length

#

if the array has 5 elements, i will be 0, then 1, then 2, then 3, then 4

#

it will then be incremented to 5

#

this will cause the condition to fail, so the loop stops running

swift crag
#

This formula is only necessary if you want to compute exactly where an object will be at a specific point in time.

#

you generally just do iterative methods in a game (i.e. you use the current velocity and position to calculate a new velocity and position every frame)

lusty thicket

when I tap the button, it simply does not run the closing animation

Captura_de_Tela_2024-01-31_as_22.29.17.png

But it already worked previously(before I leave the Scene for the first time)

teal viper
lusty thicket
#

yes

teal viper
#

But it looks consumed? Did it transition to Closing and back?

lusty thicket
#

it does not, nothing happens, only in the animator tab it is changed to "Closing" State

teal viper
#

So it does change to the Closing state?

lusty thicket
#

yes, but the animation does not happen

teal viper
#

Even when the issue occurs

teal viper
lusty thicket
#

oh, I think I figured it out....

#

I just ResetTrigger in Start function and it looks like it is working

#

Not sure if it should be like that(maintain state of the animator even when I leave the Scene)

teal viper
#

Assuming the object with the animator is destroyed, it shouldn't maintain any state.

lusty thicket
#

it should be destroyed... but the button that fires the trigger is a prefab, do you think it can be the problem?

#

but, thanks anyway!!

teal viper
vernal minnow

I feel like this should be easy and yet I can't seem to figure it out... how do get an objects script component? When I make an object into a prefab, it removes the script that it should be pulling info from and sharing info with

hello thank you for those who helped me from my problem yesterday

buoyant knot
#

unity’s weakness is the devs’ fetish for sealed classes

young smelt
#

I am trying to normalize the point of contact between my meshes in my terrain generator and it isn't working well

There are 2 differnt ways I try doing it. one is commented out though but u should see it

https://paste.ofcode.org/bwfJavBP5yL7kreiWquy5f

#

I am having problem with the normalization for when I set it to globally. It still doesn't make a smooth transition in height data between 2 chunks

swift crag
#

i don't see why normalizing each chunk would ensure that the transitions are smooth

#

it would just ensure that the lowest point in the chunk is height X and the highest point in the chunk is height Y

shell sorrel
swift crag
#

waiter! waiter! more undefined behavior please!

young smelt
swift crag
#

don't normalize the random data

#

if chunk A's minimum value is -100 and chunk B's minimum value is -200, then a height of 0 in A and B will remap to different values

buoyant knot
swift crag
#

it's hard to tell you much more than that, since this is a lot of code and you haven't shown us an example of the problem in action

buoyant knot
#

oh wait, but we can extend rule tile, we’re expected to extend rule tile, and it just works

#

who would have thought, if you don’t seal the class, and write it in a non dumbass way, shit just works

young smelt
swift crag
#

by showing us the generated data?

young smelt
#

pictures?

swift crag
#

sure

#

something to go on

swift crag
#

there are a few [RequiredByNativeCode] attriburtes in TileBase, which are mysterious

buoyant knot
#

my computer is fried rn, so I literallt can’t look through code rn

#

but I remember it being in SetTile

#

as RuleTile derives from TileBase

#

and SetTile is injected. And an extremely important method, core to how tiles work

swift crag
#

yeah, that's in Tilemap

#

and Tilemap is sealed

#

SetTile is not implemented in RuleTile

buoyant knot
#

oh right

swift crag
#

the parts you need to extend are kept in plain C#

young smelt
#

Holes like this inbetween some areas instead of just sliding down

Screenshot_1605.png
swift crag
#

so that you don't suffer a case of computer explode

young smelt
buoyant knot
#

i would still like to extend basic shit

#

like CustomCollider2D. It’s literally designed in a way that would be perfect to extend.

swift crag
shell sorrel
#

other reason for a lot of sealed things, is the more that is exposed the more unity needs to keep stable and un changing between versions as to not totally break other peoples code

young smelt
# swift crag I'm unclear what "global" normalization is. Is it supposed to remap to between t...

Oh that was just incase I want to just generate the full map at once for smaller map or in chunks as player move for bigger maps. Local is to only normalize the map based on it's own map data (in the case of the smaller maps generated once), while global is to ask it to take consideration of other chunks ( in the case of big maps which would be broken down) so I could try getting rid of the holes between the chunks

timber tide
#

I think what I've done for this is create a padding of a few pixels where it would lerp from the first to second chunk

teal viper
#

You need to sample some extra positions outside the chunk bounds.

Hi. I'm stuck on something and cannot find a solution. I have a simple attack animation for an FPS prototype. I have done what I've done 100s of times. Left click to play the animation but it seems like half a second delayed. I've checked the animation and it starts when it should. So I'm guessing it's code or a bug? Is it because I'm using a trigger and not boolean?

most beginner lessons or tutorials are pretty shit to begin with. but in this case it doesnt really matter what you do. You'll get the same result. Running switch statements on ints like this is pretty weird tbh, usually you would use an enum

#

Dunno, but I can say that whenever you do [], you're creating a new object. The preferred way to do is to put the response array outside the function as a static readonly ig, so you're not making a new array everytime that method is called.

well this array should be created outside the method but it really doesnt matter

That explains the flickring

#

You should store references to your coroutines somewhere if you want to keep track on what's running

#

Like an list. you'll just have to parse it and call StopCoroutine on each of them to make them all stop

frigid sequoia
#

I have to create a variable for each Couritne?

#

Is not like I want to keep a track of each one

#

Just stop every single one

If that's the only coroutine one the object, you also can call StopAllCoroutines

I'm trying to implement a heart system into my game. Full hearts worked fine, but adding quarter hearts has lead to a bug where every time you are hit, your health gets set to 1.25/3 hearts.

    playerHealth -= healthSubtracted;
    int index = 0;  // Variable to keep track of the index
    foreach (GameObject heart in hearts)

        Image image = heart.GetComponent<Image>();
        if (index >= playerHealth / 4)
        {
            image.sprite = heartSprites[0];
            Debug.Log(heart + "set to empty.");
    }
        else if (index <= playerHealth / 4 && index %4!=0)
        {
            image.sprite = heartSprites[index%4];
            Debug.Log(heart + "set to 1/" + index%4 + ".");
    }
    else
        {
            image.sprite = heartSprites[4];
            Debug.Log(heart + "set to full.");
        }
    index++;
    }
}

Let me know if additional information is needed.

stiff birch
#

But if you happen to have 2 coroutines that do different stuff at the same time and you only want to stop the 1st one, it won't suit your need

frigid sequoia
stiff birch
#

StartCoroutine return a reference to the coroutine, you should store it in a list of running coroutines, that way you can keep track of what's running

#

And stop exactly what you want, like all coroutine with a specific name whatsoever

lucid path
frigid sequoia
lucid path
#

I have it like that.

frigid sequoia
#

But ok

#

Thx

stiff birch
#

But in the 1st place, if this coroutine is supposed to run one at a time, you should check if there's one running before starting a new one

frigid sequoia
#

This is the courtine; it makes a fade out transition of an image in the UI; I have a boolean telling if a Couritine of this type is in execution

image.png
#

This happens if you try to call the couritine but the boolean says that it is still running; which should set all images to 0 alpha and stop the corutine in progress

image.png
#

It doesn't seem to be stopping the couritine properly though

languid spire
#

that is not how you stop a coroutine

save the return value from the start coroutine and pass that to the stop coroutine

Furthermore, if ResetScreenOverlayEffect is called on each coroutine you start, you're boolean will be reset even if the actual running coroutine isn't finished. This makes possible the call of another coroutine that will alter your effect

frigid sequoia
#

If I start a new coroutine with the same name, it is replaced then?

stiff birch
#

nope

languid spire
#

no

stiff birch
#

It adds a new one

#

The name doesn't guarantee uniqueness

frigid sequoia
#

And stop only a random one with that name when I call it to stop?

stiff birch
#

The 1st one the method find yes

#

Unless you pass a ref instead of a name, then it will stop the exact coroutine you give

frigid sequoia
#

So if I want to stop all of them I could just do a while (couritneName != null) loop rigth?

stiff birch
#

In that case just call StopAllCouroutine since it will have the same effect

So when having a script which can make do certain things (for example make a new enemy), I can make a scriptable object instead of having it to hard code every single one of them right?

The Foreach loop doesn't get explained at all in the Unity Learn course, can someone take me through it step-by-step

image.png
rare basin
#

it's a basic C# you need to learn

craggy oxide
earnest atlas
#

yeah foreach is C# basic

craggy oxide
#

they explain 3 other loops

rare basin
#

you can just google C# foreachloop

craggy oxide
#

and then just don't explain the Foreach

craggy oxide
#

yeah alright then

rare basin
#

and find out yourself lol

timber tide
#

foreach is not looping but iterating brainfart, usually in c++ you use a forloop with an iterator, but technically foreach is both combined so technically it is a loop

#

which is why it probably wasnt explained there

#

unless you're thinking of for loop

#

I guess technically it is looping? Maybe I'm overthinking it

earnest atlas
# 
startLoop:
        if (i < 5)
        {
            Console.WriteLine(i);
            i++;
            goto startLoop; 
        }```
Best loop
timber tide
#

forloop is mostly used in iteration, but you can always give it parameters to act like a normal while loop

#

ah ok, it is defined as a loop. Never really thought of it that way though

gleaming nymph
#

I have problem because
public InputField CharacterName;
isnt showing in unity inspector.

I need to assign inputfield because i wrote script and getting error "it is read only".

slender nymph
#

what is the actual error

gleaming nymph
#

Property or indexer 'string.Length' cannot be assigned to -- it is read only

slender nymph
#

yeah you need to fix that. you cannot assign to the length of a string. perhaps you mean to compare it using == rather than assign with =

gaunt ice
#

this is a compile error and you have to solve it first

gleaming nymph
#

ohh thank you

#

you are best

craggy oxide
#

foreach(string item in strings)
{
Debug.Log(item);
}

just to make sure, the foreach loop is basically saying

"for every string present in the 'strings' array, print to the console"

#

right?

#

i already looked it up i just want to be sure

gaunt ice
#

yes

craggy oxide
#

yayyy i get it

gaunt ice
craggy oxide
#

is the official name "AnotherClass" ?

I'm confused as to how this works

image.png
#

shouldnt it just be Class

#

if its defining the type of variable

verbal dome
#

AnotherClass is the type name

craggy oxide
#

that's an actual type name? not "NewClass" or "Class" or anything?

gaunt ice
#

you can name it whatever you want

# 
public class Struct{
  int iAmNotStruct;
}
craggy oxide
#

yeah I know you can name the class whatever you want

#

but AnotherClass is the actual type?

#

the name of the variable is myOtherClass

verbal dome
#

Please dont name a class 'Struct' lol

#

Well I guess not an object yet until you use new

#

I believe it's on the stack till then

craggy oxide
#

that's weird lol

fathom bramble
#

Well

#

it's either a type name

#

or the IDE you're using

verbal dome
fathom bramble
#

is assuming it is

verbal dome

Its not a standard class in C# or Unity or anything

For some reason im getting an error for the values in the enum for RoomType.
Identifier expected
#

Ok so I switcehd the numbers to chars and the error went away.

#

I would like to use numbers if thats possible

languid spire
#

identifiers cannot begin with a number, move it the the end

slender nymph
#

also maybe consider giving those better names

abstract finch
#

i see thanks

abstract finch
slender nymph
#

i don't know what their purpose is for so i cannot possibly provide a suggestion

abstract finch
#

The arrows represent the doors

image.png
#

ok np

languid spire
#

just use cardinal points. N, S,W, E etc

abstract finch
#

the thing is that im rotating the doors if that makessense. Lets say theres an 1 openinig south. I will pull the tileset containing one door then rotating it south therefore its not a static direction. The variable represents the tileset prefabs that contain X door

languid spire
#

gotcha, then you are probably ok with those names although it would be nice to spell Diagonal correctly

abstract finch

haha oops will do

"method must have a return type"

void = returns nothing

slender nymph

also you dont need to "return;" a void anyways

i'm gonna guess that random return was their attempt at fixing the issue

Is unity mostly script driven? I remember being told its c++, but so far I only coded in C#

slender nymph

that question does not make a lot of sense

its made with C++ tho
