If I do that you will need to press jump button again.

With that logic it works fine

But if its on hold its doing weird things

[ivory bobcat]

     if (_isJumping) // Jump logic
     {
         var hit = Physics2D.Raycast(transform.position, _rayDirection, 2, _groundLayer);
         if (hit.collider != null)
         {
             if (hit.distance < 0.36f)
             {
                 _rb.AddForce(Vector3.up * _upwardForce, ForceMode2D.Impulse);
             }
         }
         _isJumping = false;//Will never jump again until the button is pressed again
     }```

[tender breach]

Just one of them to spawn one.

[polar acorn]

which one

[earnest atlas]

As I mentioned resetting jump will force another jump click. I want it to jump automatiaclly while jump button is held

On normal click its working fine

On held its acting possesed

[tender breach]

The object

[polar acorn]

"The" object is everything this script is on

which one should spawn the new object

[ivory bobcat]

I've got no clue what you mean by automatic jump at this point, so I'll let others help you.

[tender breach]

The puyo

[polar acorn]

Which one

[tender breach]

The one that = 2

[polar acorn]

The one that what equals two

[tender breach]

dropSet

[polar acorn]

Okay, so, whenever this object's dropSet is 2, and it collides with an object that is the floor or another instance of this script

That is the condition in which you want to spawn something?

[tender breach]

Yes

[stuck palm]

why cant i get close to the player in the editor without it clipping?

[earnest atlas]

You hold button. Player hits floor. Player jumps.

[polar acorn]

So, that'd be what you want. Inside of your trigger function, check those conditions. Start by checking this object's DropSet, then check if the object is floor or puyo, and if both conditions are true, spawn your thing

[slender nymph]

not a code question. likely due to your scene view camera's dynamic clipping planes needing an update. double click the object in the hierarchy to focus it

[polar acorn]

Select the object, hover it, double-tap the F key to focus on it. It'll adjust your camera's clipping planes to something reasonable for an object of its size and distance

[stuck palm]

sorry thought i was in general

[frosty hound]

@stuck palm You've been told multiple times in the past about posting non coding questions here. You should know this by now, and the next one will be moderated.

[fierce shuttle]

You could use a singleton, static class or ScriptableObject, if the data needs to exist across scenes, you could mark it with "DontDestroyOnLoad", if your goal is to save to a file at some point, you could then use a serialized class and save an instance of that class with something like JSON, maybe a combo of a serialized class and ScriptableObject might help, depending on how much data and the type of data your trying to persist

[stuck palm]

i have 2 discord instances open i thought i was in unity-talk 😭 soz

[frosty hound]

Key word is multiple times. Just be aware next time please.

[stuck palm]

i shall

[queen adder]

I'm using a scriptable object now, but every tutorial regarding saving I can find with scriptable objects treats them as unique objects and for multiple of them.

It overcomplicates it and makes it a ton harder to follow

[fierce shuttle]

What kind of data are you trying to save?

[short hazel]

Do note that "saving" data to scriptable objects is not persistent. In builds, restarting the game will discard changes made to scriptable objects.
As such, you most likely need another system, where the data is saved to a file, and loaded when the game starts.

[queen adder]

too much for playerprefs

[queen adder]

yes that's what im working on sidestepping

[static bay]

Plain text Json time

[queen adder]

that's what i need to learn how to do, scriptable object data to plaintext json

[wintry quarry]

but this is extremely vague. A simple variable "stores" data. You need to specify the lifecycle you want for this data.

A local variable "stores" data during function execution
A member variable "stores" data for the lifetime of the object

[short hazel]

No scriptable object, just a regular class. Saving and loading that into a file with JSON is literally 2 lines of code

[queen adder]

What are those magical lines

[fierce shuttle]

Depends on if your using the built-in JsonUtility or something like Newtonsoft JSON (which I suggest due to its flexibility) or another package

[queen adder]

JsonUtility

Wait you weren't joking

[wintry quarry]

yes the whole thing though is you need to design that "playerData" object

that's where most of the code is

[rich adder]

+1 NewtonSoft Json.Net

[swift crag]

you create a class that stores a description of your game state

you create an instance and then serialize it to JSON to save

you deserialize from JSON and use the instance to restore your game state

I’m reinstalling Unity. I need to know which version of unity editor corresponds to June of last year. How do I find that out?

[wintry quarry]

https://unity.com/releases/editor/qa/lts-releases

[rare basin]

am I doing something wrong or it doesn't work on new input system?

  private void OnMouseEnter()
  {
      Debug.Log("Mouse over object: " + gameObject.name);
  }

  private void OnMouseExit()
  {
      Debug.Log("Mouse left object: " + gameObject.name);
  }

Doesn't log anything (It's attached to primitive Cube created via hierarchy, it has collider on it obviously)

[wintry quarry]

OnMouseEnter/Exit are not supported in the new system. Use the Event System alternatives

IPointerEnterHandler/IPointerExitHandler

[rare basin]

that'll also work for 3D objects?

[wintry quarry]

yes as long as:

• They have colliders
• You attach a Physics Raycaster component to your camera
• You have an EventSystem/InputModule in the scene

[rare basin]

cool thanks

[buoyant knot]

U good buddy?

That sounds like a “sanity check” type of thing

Im using tiled images on background I want to make ilusion of them moving. This is not working, dont know what to do?

[wintry quarry]

Is the code actually running?

[earnest atlas]

Yes

[wintry quarry]

Time for Debug.Log

[earnest atlas]

I can place an interruption and its infact running but Im not sure if its doing anything

[wintry quarry]

^ time for

log some values. Make sure things are as you expect

Or sure if you're using the debugger

look at the values there

[ivory bobcat]

You need to define what's not working and log the necessary related stuff

[earnest atlas]

I mean nothing is moving

[wintry quarry]

99.9% sure mainTextureOffset is not implemented on SpriteRenderer

or at least not on the default sprite material

[earnest atlas]

I think so to

[rare basin]

don't think - check lol

[earnest atlas]

I have no idea what to search

[wintry quarry]

Use a different material and potentially renderer (MeshRenderer)

you need a material that supports texture offset

a quad with a basic unlit shader should do

[earnest atlas]

Hmm gonna add change things

[buoyant knot]

it’s a “my computer got fried, and while I wait for the backup files to be accessible, I’m installing the version of unity editor that matches what I was using.”

eg “fine”

[rare basin]

so got it working, but, the "click!" debug log isn't displaying after pressing down the left mouse button, but it's printing after releasing it (up! is also printing)

    void IPointerEnterHandler.OnPointerEnter(PointerEventData eventData)
    {
        Debug.Log("enter!");
    }

    void IPointerExitHandler.OnPointerExit(PointerEventData eventData)
    {
        Debug.Log("exit!");
    }

    public void OnPointerClick(PointerEventData eventData)
    {
        Debug.Log("click!");
    }

    public void OnPointerUp(PointerEventData eventData)
    {
        Debug.Log("up!");
    }

is that something I need to adjust in the new input system module?

[wintry quarry]

yes that's expected for Click

IPointerDownHandler is for the first part

[static bay]

Jeez. Rip your computer. How did it get fried?

[rare basin]

so what's the difference between Click and Up?

[wintry quarry]

Click is the whole process of clicking and releasing

PointerDown is just the initial click

PointerUp is just the release

[rare basin]

ow so Click is down and up combined

i suspect there is a failure of a component on the motherboard

Hello. I am trying to create an EdgeCollider2D for in my Edge class's constructor.
Here is the relevant constructor code:

    {
        
        m = Instantiate(Resources.Load("Vessel") as GameObject);
        ec = m.AddComponent<EdgeCollider2D>();
        lr = m.AddComponent<LineRenderer>();
        //Debug.Log(v1.localPos());
        //Debug.Log(v2.localPos());
        ec.points = new Vector2[] { v1.localPos(), v2.localPos()};```
`Vertex.localPos()` just returns the Vector2 that the Vertex was constructed with.
`Vertex.getRealPos` uses `transform.TransformPoint(localPos)`.
Neither `localPos()` nor `getRealPos()` connects the EdgeCollider2D to the vertices without a considerable offset. What can I do to negate the offset?

[wintry quarry]

What do you mean by "connects the EdgeCollider2D to the vertices"?

[ivory bobcat]

Print some values:

• actual
• expected

Are there any patterns to these differences?

[wintry quarry]

and where did v1 and v2 come from in the first place? What values did you give them and where did those values come from?

[dusty silo]

I set the EdgeCollider's points to the Edge's vertecies

[buoyant knot]

i think you have a bit of a disconnect in your meaning

[wintry quarry]

yes but where did those come from

[buoyant knot]

edgecolliders have vertices, connected by edges

why do you have a separate class of edges and vertices

[wintry quarry]

There's nothing wrong with edges/vertices

[buoyant knot]

i’m just confused why there is a second class here

[wintry quarry]

Because lots of algorithms operate on Edges

I honestly don't think it's that important in the context of the question

[buoyant knot]

oh, are you trying to start with a representation of vertices and edges, and then create an edgecollider that matches this?

[ivory bobcat]

The class is likely just "boxing"

We need to see the behavior pattern of what's working and not working (the actual data)

[buoyant knot]

if you need to create an edge collider based on a predefined path of vertices, you want to use SetShapes, and PhysicsShapeGroup2D or something like that

[inland cobalt]

Hey all, i'm trying to make a simple pong game and im currently working on getting the ball to bounce off correctly, while giving it bounciness achieves this, it does bounce in the directions it should like the original pong as it is really a flat surface, so i'm trying to implement bounciness myself.

I have this code here:

    private void OnCollisionEnter2D(Collision2D other)
    {
        if (other.gameObject.CompareTag("Bumper")) // Get other's distance from centre and check Y offset
        {
            float yOffset = transform.position.y - other.transform.position.y; // Set velocity based on this offset

            rb.velocity = new(-rb.velocity.x, yOffset);
        }
    }

On detecting collision with the bumper, it tries to inverse it's x velocity to start travelling the other way and give it y velocity based on it's offset from the centre of the bumper. The issue is, as of the time of collision, velocity is zero, how would i go about getting the velocity before it collided?

[wintry quarry]

Basically @dusty silo is saying "Vertex.localPos() just returns the Vector2 that the Vertex was constructed with." - so I want to make sure what they're passing in here is actually a local position in the coordinate space of whatever m is.

which seems unlikely since m was just spawned inside this constructor

[buoyant knot]

the edge shape has a set of vertices, relative to the offset of the collider, which is relative to the transform

[wintry quarry]

Vector2 oldVelocity;
void FixedUpdate() {
  oldVelocity = rb.velocity;
}```

OnCollisionEnter indeed happens after the collision is already processed and it already bounced and changed velocity

[inland cobalt]

Makes sense thank you

[queen adder]

HAHAAA

Thank you all

[buoyant knot]

if your edgecollider2D is on something with transform at (100,0), it has an offset of (0,10), and you put a vertex at (1,0), then the edge will have a vertex at (101,10) in world space

[dusty silo]

I am using the EdgeCollider's for collision detection, but the Edges will store more information than just edge detection

[inland cobalt]

Sorry for the ping again but i realise i might have another problem, when colliding with the bottom or top, it doesn't bounce as i would expect to even with horizontal momentum, and im not sure how to get it the way i want really

nevermind, it was the friction i had set, apologies

[dusty silo]

getRealPos() returns localPos transformed by m's transform

[dusty silo]

Thanks. Will try this

[queen adder]

is there a builtin way to do a knockback grenade? Like an ImpulseForceAt()?

or do we manually have to code it with a overlap, then manually doing the addforces?

[rare basin]

how would built-in feature for such system work

when in every game it works differently by design

get colliders with overlap, calculate knockback direction, add force in that direction

5 minutes of work

and extensible/configurable to your needs

[trail heart]

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Rigidbody.AddExplosionForce.html This seems to be basically that
Still you'll likely want some way to exclude any object that's too far away, likely using an OverlapSphere

[slender nymph]

Update does not run on disabled objects

[queen adder]

it seems to have a range, and i assume the grenade will like call it right?

oh nvm

[trail heart]

Must be called on the RB, hence the usefulness of Overlap here, but the neat part is that it does the math on your behalf for creating the correct force vector

The methods are the same, just make sure you insert an instance of type T . . .

[twilit dirge]

I've gone ahead and looking into taking your advice here, because it seems like the best approach. I have a few questions/issues though: Localization. I probably won't be launching with localization, but I definitely would want to add it in the future. SO's seem problamatic as I'd need to double all these SO's for each lang. But I've seen that it would basically be the same thing for a json, but externally, so I'm not too worried about this, but wanted to know which is the more efficient route.

Also, the memory issue again. I can either load the appropriate scriptable objects according to language all at once on startup and leave it there, or load & unload dynamically as the user requests dialogue. I think the first approach would be better as using Resources.load and unload every single time the user requests dialogue seems taxing, but I wanted to get input from someone who knows more about this first. Maybe there is another way?

maybe loading it async or something

[vernal minnow]

Is there an is touching method/function?

Like if (object.isTouching.otherObject) {Do this}

The closest thing I've found is just a boolean setup

I can probably check for a collision but I figure the proper formatting makes more sense

[twilit dirge]

what ive used is checking for a collision but it needs a box collider2d if you do it that way

if you're even doing 2D

I don't know much about 3D

[vernal minnow]

Would OnCollisionStay2D() work?

I'm trying to detect if an object is touching another object so that I can later attach/detach the two objects on a keypress

[acoustic sequoia]

1. sending me to the correct discord channel.. or
2. direct me to the correct tutorials/docs/youtube video(s) for syncing my game across gamecenter on iOS for a turn based board game.

hey, so in this unity document (https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Vector2.ClampMagnitude.html), it explains what the Vector2.ClampMagnitude is and how to use it. The thing is, I understand that one of the parameters is to set the velocity using Vector2 to tell the program what that the maximum velocity. The thing I don't understand is the other parameter, the maxLength, which I don't know what it is. Can someone explain to me what it is?

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

[frigid sequoia]

"Returns a copy of vector with its magnitude clamped to maxLength."; you take the direction and length of the vector and then cap it to the maxLength value

The magnitude of a vector is like how far does it go

[warm condor]

oh ok, so the vector parameter is like checking if it goes to a certain speed, and if it does, then it will cap it to maxLength

did I get that right?

[frigid sequoia]

Vector is not necesarily speed, but yeah, pretty much

If you are using it to set the maxSpeed of a 2D object, that would do

[north kiln]

I've never seen this version of the graph, where did you get this from?

[frigid sequoia]

Someone else shared it

And I saved it

[north kiln]

In future, I made a robust physics messages debugging resource that is pinned to this channel

[frigid sequoia]

Cause it seem superusefull XD

[warm condor]

I tried using it in my program, but nothing is working, what is wrong here?

        Vector2.ClampMagnitude(new Vector2(maxRunningSpeed, rb.velocityY), maxRunningSpeed);
        rb.AddForce(new Vector2(direction * speed_mid_air, rb.velocity.y));
    }

[frigid sequoia]

You cannot just start the lane with vector2

Is like starting a statement saying "3"

It is a value, not a variable

[warm condor]

I don't get it, how do I use it then?

[frigid sequoia]

What you want to do is something like rb.velocity = ClampMagnitude(rb.velocity, maxVelocity);

Or somethin like that

Also why are you using an int for direction?

That seems not very optimal

[warm condor]

oh I use that to multiply it with the x velocity to make it go left or right

[frigid sequoia]

Yeah, but shouldn't that be at leats a float?

[warm condor]

but doesn't that just overwrite this other line rb.AddForce(new Vector2(direction * speed_mid_air, rb.velocity.y));

[warm condor]

I don't want the player to slow down or increase the speed, I just want the speed to stay the same

[frigid sequoia]

What do you want with that method, I don't get it; you want to Clamp the speed and allow for movement in the air?

[warm condor]

so basically there is no diffrence between making it a float or not

[warm condor]

alr, so I want to let the player move a little mid air, but I need to clamp the max horizontal speed so that the player doesn't move too fast mid air.

I have tried to use if statements, but I had problems with that, so someone here suggested me to use Vector2.ClampMagnitude

[frigid sequoia]

Why would you want to clamp the speed just in mid air and not on the ground?

[warm condor]

yea I was going to do that after clamping the max speed on ground

I do need to know how to apply it before using it on other things

[frigid sequoia]

Just clamp the velocity overall and apply the clamped value directly to the rb velocity instead of adding force

[warm condor]

oh yea that sounds that it is better, but there might be a problem, setting it to rb velocity will get overwriten by the other movements.

[steady isle]

im tryna practice my coding basics with c# and made a rock paper scissors game. It works perfectly fine but I can't seem to get the part of the code which allows the user to play again to work. Please let me know if you can help.

[warm condor]

I have had a similar experience with that before, it is like setting a value to a 3, and on the same function you set it to a 4, so the final value will be a 4

[frigid sequoia]

I mean, clamping the max velocity should be the last step of all the calculations; should be overriden by anything

[frigid sequoia]

Seems like in your case just loading the whole scene would work for you

[steady isle]

lol

[steady isle]

it loads but when it gets to that one part it doesnt work and idk y

[frigid sequoia]

Load again, when you want to do another game

[wintry quarry]

put them in a dictionary

e.g.

Dictionary<Mood, Sprite>```

you can can just do mySpriteRenderer.sprite = myDictionary[currentMood];

[gloomy ice]

and how do I populate the dictionary?

[wintry quarry]

in Awake

iterate over your json data

foreach (MoodInfo mi in moodInfos) {
  myDictionary[mi.mood] = mi.sprite;
}```

would be ideal

[queen adder]

can we manually play an animation clip via code without sending to animator?

[wintry quarry]

assuming you structure your json well

[wintry quarry]

you need an Animation or Animator component

[queen adder]

ooh didnt know there's this animation thing, thanks

that's more playable

isnt there an animation thing that is already deprecated on new unities?

forgot what though

or that was an audio thing, dunno

[wintry quarry]

Yes it's called Animation

https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/class-Animation.html

whoa, what a component

[frigid sequoia]

I am using a World Space Canvas to show some floating text, I want to save it as a prefab and it has a general script that just makes it look at something, in this case that would be the camera. When assigning the main camera to the object to follow on the inspector it works as expected, but when I save it as a prefab I cannot assing anything that is not directly on the prefab itself as a gameObject to follow. Do I have to make a reference to it directly in the script for it to work as a prefab? Cause that seems really inconvinient for scripts like these

If I drag the component from the scene to the editor's reference it says "Type missmatch"; which doesn't show when the prefab is in scene and I assing it there

[wintry quarry]

you have to assign the references at runtime, in your code

assets (prefabs are assets) cannot reference objects inside scenes.

Simple example:

[SerializeField]
MyCanvasScript myPrefab; // assign in the inspector to the prefab
[SerializeField]
Camera mainCamera; // assign in the inspector to the camera

void SpawnCanvas() {
  MyCanvasScript myInstance = Instantiate(myPrefab);
  myPrefab.cameraRef = mainCamera;
}```

This would be the code that spawns the floating text thing

[ivory bobcat]

What was it supposed to be?

[olive bane]

I'm trying to access the selectedTile variable in a different script

[ivory bobcat]

Looks fine. What's it supposed to be rather than (0, 0)?

[frigid sequoia]

That seems really inconvinient, but ok

[ivory bobcat]

You don't need to call GetComponent for the referenced Tile btw

[olive bane]

It's supposed to be the vector2 of (transform.position.x, transform.position.y)

[wintry quarry]

it wouldn't make any sense otherwise. What would happen if you assigned a reference on a prefab to an object in a scene, and then spawned that prefab in a different scene??

it's really very simple

[frigid sequoia]

Mainly cause the script itself set the object to follow as the player of it is null, which means, now it would be changing the value twice for no real reason

[ivory bobcat]

Did you perhaps reference the wrong object?

[wintry quarry]

once you get the hang of passing references around it will be second nature to you

[ivory bobcat]

Maybe show us the inspector for that component?

[frigid sequoia]

Then it would say that there is a missing reference, not that I just cannot assing it

[wintry quarry]

well, it doesn't work that way

get used to dealing with references in your code

[frigid sequoia]

I mean assingining a value on the isnpector is not equivalent of doing something like... GetComponent<>;?

[wintry quarry]

no

[frigid sequoia]

Why would it work differently?

[wintry quarry]

it is not

[wintry quarry]

because it's a direct reference to an object

that object has to exist to be able to reference it

[olive bane]

It has the tile game object attached to it

[wintry quarry]

Also imagine if you loaded the same scene twice (which you can do, no problem, with additive scene loading). Then which copy of the object would it reference?

When you think about it, what you want doesn't make any sense unfortunately

[frigid sequoia]

The same as getComponents, if there are none is a nullReference, if there is multiple just the first one it catches

Don't get why it would be coded differently

[wintry quarry]

That would lead to bugs. Anyway IDK why you're debating me about it. I didn't design the system, I'm just telling you how it works and how to make your code work

[frigid sequoia]

Yep, thxs, just though was kinda unecessarely restrictive

[gloomy ice]

still dont get how to "choose" the images from the folder, that's the part I dont get

[ivory bobcat]

Did you reference the prefab Tile or an instance in scene?
The prefab would just be a reference to your asset in your asset folder and not something in the scene/hierarchy.

[north kiln]

To be clear, you can assign (as a prefab overload) to an instance of a prefab that is already in the scene.
Only for instantiated objects do you need to assign from another reference already in the scene

[gloomy ice]

I want to load to load it by code

[ivory bobcat]

Try changing the log tocs Debug.Log($"{script.selectedTile}", script);

Click the log in the console during runtime and see which object is highlighted yellow.

[wintry quarry]

[SerializeField]
Sprite sadSprite;
[SerializeField]
Sprite happySprite;

void Awake() {
  myDict[Mood.Sad] = sadSprite;
  myDict[Mood.Happy] = happySprite;
}```
Then you do the "choosing" in the inspector.

[olive bane]

It references the prefab using the variable in its script

[frigid sequoia]

How so?

[ivory bobcat]

You may want to drag your console windows out and have it place next to your assets or something to have it visible during the selection

[frigid sequoia]

How can I do a prefab overload?

[north kiln]

If the prefab is in the scene, just drag a reference into that instance

[ivory bobcat]

So it's referring to the prefab at (0, 0) and not the selected Tile object in scene then.

[teal viper]

It makes sense by design, as prefabs are unrelated to any specific scene. It would also be more difficult to serialize the reference to something that is stored inside a scene file.

[olive bane]

I'm not sure how to make a public variable that each instance can interact with, although the variable does work within the script

[solid rock]

Good day everyone, PLEASE HELP! Can anyone point me towards a good direction. I would like to create knitcap for a snowman but I don't know and I didn't find a resource that teaches how to do it. Thank you for any advice.

[frigid sequoia]

But I can't save it with that refernece, it is just lost along the way

[ivory bobcat]

A good start would be to reference these tiles as you create them.

[teal viper]

Yep. Can't do that. Refer to my previous reply for some of the reasons why.

[gloomy ice]

the problem is that I have a List of Lists

client1 [ client1_sad, client1_angry, client1_happy]
client2 [ client2_sad, client2_angry, client2_happy]
...
clientN [ clientN_sad, clientN_angry, clientN_happy]

[frigid sequoia]

Oh welp, it is what it is

[gloomy ice]

im looking for an option that doesnt work with the inspector

[olive bane]

I have a dictionary variable, but it's in a GridManager script. Could I make that public to access it in the Tile script?

[wintry quarry]

Why is that a problem?

[queen adder]

that's the thing i wanna use
(anyways, not deprecated for me means it's still good to use 😁)

[wintry quarry]

Then use Resources.Load or Addressables

it doesn't change the basic idea

I don't really see what benefit you have from avoiding the inspector though

[rocky canyon]

its only there for backwards compatibilty.. it is still deprecated

i guess its still okay to use.. || learn the animator, though||

[gloomy ice]

alright ill try that, thankx

[ivory bobcat]

You'd do so when you instantiate or reference them with your manager.
An example for when they're instantiated:cs var tile = Instantiate(tilePrefab); tile.OnTileClicked.AddListener(HandleTileClicked);``````cs void HandleTileClicked(Tile tile) { Debug.Log(tile.selectedTile); }``````cs OnTileClicked.Invoke(this);*Implies you've got an event/action that has one parameter of the type Tile.

I'm confused as to how HandleTileClicked can have a parameter, since it tells me it's a function when I add a parameter. I'm also not entirely sure where all of these scripts are supposed to go, since my event listener is in a different script to my instantiation script.

Hello, how can I change a texture from a gameObject?

Texture2D newTexture = Resources.Load<Texture2D>("pixi");
gameObject.GetComponent<SpriteRenderer>().sprite = // what to put here using "newTexture"?

[teal viper]

Create a Sprite from the texture

[wintry quarry]

Why not just load it as a Sprite to begin with?

Don't make life harder for yourself

[gloomy ice]

how to do that?

[woeful hedge]

[wintry quarry]

Sprite newSprite = Resources.Load<Sprite>("pixi");```

[gloomy ice]

Ohh thanks

[wintry quarry]

(and make sure you actually imported the image as a sprite)

[woeful hedge]

I just tried to display the destination of NavMeshAgent, but the Ray seems to draw wrong positions. How to solve this?

(In the screenshot, the agent is going to (-3,0,-4) but ray points at opposite way)

here's the code -

    IEnumerator NormalMove(Vector3 vector)
    {
        navMeshAgent.isStopped = false;
        animator.SetTrigger("IdleToWork");
        navMeshAgent.SetDestination(vector);

        Debug.Log(vector);


        while (true)
        {
            yield return new WaitForSeconds(0.1f);

            if (Vector3.Distance(transform.position, vector) < 0.001f)
            {
                Debug.Log("Reached");
                transform.position = vector;
                animator.SetTrigger("IdleToWork");
                break;
            }
            else
            {
                Debug.DrawRay(transform.position, vector, Color.red, 0.1f);
                //Debug.Log(Vector3.Distance(transform.position, vector));
            }
        }

        navMeshAgent.isStopped = true;
        navMeshAgent.velocity = Vector3.zero;

    }

oh shit wait it was (-3,0,-4) but anyways it is wrong

[gloomy ice]

it worked, thank you uwu

[edgy fox]

When the green wall is placed, I need it to recognize which of the red lines have walls and which don't. I've been trying to do this for awhile but I'm drawing a blank

I already have blank walls on the red lines without non-rendering walls that have hitboxes for raycasts but I have no clue how to actually detect them aside from comparing coordinates which seems unreliable at best

and I also want to avoid iterating through a list of every single blank/not blank wall because that will have issues scaling

[wintry quarry]

I wouldn't use physics here. Is this grid-based? I would maintain a graph data structure of the grid spaces and edges

[edgy fox]

it is grid based and there are no physics applied. What is the best way to encode the grid?

[wintry quarry]

In the usual ways

An Adjacency list is best.

[edgy fox]

would each wall have its own list stating which walls are adjacent or is there one grand list that has all walls with there adjacencies?

[woeful hedge]

Does a function exist that draws a line between two points?

[edgy fox]

Debug.DrawLine()

[wintry quarry]

more like each box in the grid knows which edges it has and the neighboring grid boxes, and each edge knows which grid box it's part of.

[woeful hedge]

Thanks

[wintry quarry]

The LineRenderer component.

Good evening all. I've been messing Unity for a few days now. Dabbling in making my own game. It's coming along but one frustration I can't overcome is my objects overlap no matter what I try. I've made a completely new 2D project with 2 simple objects. Both with rigidbody2d and box collider and I control one of them into the other and they overlap. I've watched tutorials and in 5 minutes they make a platform jumper. My "Player" just falls through the floor. What am I missing?

[wintry quarry]

Probably the basics of Rigidbody motion.

Make sure you're following all the steps of your tutorials

[next portal]

But if I follow a tutorial exactly as they do it and it falls through the floor. I'm just confused as to why

[edgy fox]

and that would just be stored in a list? I'm missing how that is abstracted

[wintry quarry]

Don't skip or change anything the first time through

[wintry quarry]

no... an adjacency list

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adjacency_list

to be honest this is not really a beginner topic so if you're new to programming it's going to be difficult.

[edgy fox]

is an adjacency list completely separate list syntaxwise from a normal list or is it just an application of a list?

[next portal]

I'll try one more time

[edgy fox]

not completely new... just rather new to unity and C#/dotnet

[wintry quarry]

It is a completely different data structure

[edgy fox]

oh ok

[wintry quarry]

in practical terms it could just be a List<GraphNode> where each GraphNode has a List<GraphNode> representing its neighbors

[edgy fox]

and I assume I would have one master list as a static element of some class?

[wintry quarry]

but you have to understand graphs and graph algorithms to do this effectively

[wintry quarry]

implementation details, up to you

[edgy fox]

alright makes sense, that's probably how I'll wind up doing it

[edgy fox]

VS isn't showing GraphNode as being a thing in unity, do I have to add a new using statement?

[wintry quarry]

It's not a thing

it was an example class name I made up

[edgy fox]

ah that makes sense

When I change the fire button to my F key it works just fine, but for some reson it won't register a click on Mouse0

[wintry quarry]

You're trying to handle input in FixedUpdate

input should only be handled in Update

Also if you move this handling code to Update you will need to make a few other small adjustments

[snow depot]

well I've changed it from FixedUpdate() to Update() and it still doesn't seem to be registering a left click. what else should be changed?

[vale karma]

hi, im trying to implement a MouseLook script for my Main Camera, in order to look around using the mouse in a 3D game. Is there documentation to go over how to do that with the new input system? Every tutorial/documentation doesnt go over the basics or what each block of code means

Also each vid goes over the old input method. Brackeys and other popular utubers just gloss over any relevant info

[timber tide]

You'd just have a switch statement (or a delegate dictionary can work too) on the SO that provides you a way to pick the dialogue depending on the game's settings, so this should allow you keep it at 1 SO per npc.

[ivory bobcat]

I'm confused as to how HandleTileClicked can have a parameter, since it tells me it's a function when I add a parameter.
Functions can have parameters but I'm guessing you did not declare your event/action to accept functions with a parameter type.
I'm also not entirely sure where all of these scripts are supposed to go, since my event listener is in a different script to my instantiation script.
It's practically your code so you ought to be able to recognize most of it: #💻┃code-beginner message 🤷‍♂️..
Here would be an example using plain c# that adds a listener with a parameter to another class (Echo) and have a manager (Cave) broadcast the messages without knowing the underlying implementation https://dotnetfiddle.net/OYrVn9 (main defined the functions, echo referenced the function and cave manages echos).
In your case, you'd just need to change the declaration of your event/action to accept a parameter so you could pass the Tile data to the function to be printed to the console when the tile is clicked. Printing the position value of the prefab is what I'm assuming you're not wanting from your original code post.

[tepid summit]

I have an idea, but id just like confirmation/ a second opinion on how to do this with OnTriggerEnter instead of CollisionEnter

private void OnCollisionEnter(Collision collision)
    {

        if(collision.gameObject.name == ("Bullet"))
        {
            Debug.Log("Collision Found");
        }
    }

[timber tide]

At minimum, both gameobjects need colliders, one at least needs IsTrigger on the colliders, and at least one gameobject needs a rigidbody (can be kinematic)

[tepid summit]

i know how to do an OnTriggerEnter

i want to know how to check the name of the enterer

[twilit dirge]

oh ok. is there a way to like, not have that per NPC though? like i said its personality types and there will be a lot of randomly generated NPCs, cant they all just inherit or reference the same object?

[timber tide]

should be similar but instead of a collision object you get the object's collider instead but you can still get the gameobject from both

[tepid summit]

so instead of if(collision.gameObject...)

i just do if (collider.gameObject... )?

[timber tide]

if you're randomly generating npcs then you can make a script that picks from a pool, sorted by personality types and whatnot.

[tepid summit]

ooh

ive always wondered about random picker things

[timber tide]

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Collider.html
Can also check the properties and methods of an object in the documentations

[tepid summit]

ill have a look and try something, and come back if theres further errors

[timber tide]

but as you should know, the collider is a component, and if it's a component then it must inherit from mono, meaning it will always have a gameobject property

and transform for that matter

[tepid summit]

yes

sorry, i forgot how to check object tags?

[timber tide]

Collision object on the otherhand is not a component, but an object generated by colliding, but it has properties referring to the gameobject's properties

[tepid summit]

right

[timber tide]

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Component.CompareTag.html

[tepid summit]

oh yeah

[timber tide]

documentations are your friend

[tepid summit]

thats right;

they are

i use them alot

ok

one last question (for now)

actually ill google it first

[fierce shuttle]

If your handling input through Update, you should be able to follow any tutorial for mouse look, and replace the old input checks for Mouse.current or setup delta in an input action asset, and reference it, you could also refer to the "how do I?" page which may help: https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.inputsystem@1.0/manual/HowDoI.html

This approach, would be polling in Update rather than using events of the input system, for a mouselook, it should be a fine approach

[tepid summit]

not my original question, but how do i make children of an object not match the scale of their parent object

[timber tide]

you dont usually as you should consider making those siblings if needed instead

[tepid summit]

a what

sorry im pretty new if that wasnt obvious

or

[timber tide]

don't make it a direct child, but instead use another gameobject to wrap them

[tepid summit]

not so much new, as unexperienced

[tepid summit]

do you mind providing an example

[rocky canyon]

crosshair wrapping crosshair graphics

[timber tide]

your implementation: parent -> child
my suggestion:

another gameobject ->
gameobject1 (previous parent)
gameobject2 (previous child)

[tepid summit]

isnt that childing

oh

so have it 3 layers deep

like
Parent>Obj1>Obj2

or is it
Parent>Obj1 + Obj2

[timber tide]

right, if you're going to scale and don't want the children to scale, then don't directly add children to those objects

[tepid summit]

yeah

thats what i ended up doing

[rocky canyon]

2nd one.. u dont want to nest more than u need to..

if it makes sense to go

• parent
  • child
    • child

then sure

[tepid summit]

ok

and how would one change this from a cylinder

id rather a rectangular prism

[rich adder]

https://learn.unity.com/tutorial/particle-system-shape-2019-3

[tepid summit]

oh

its literally an option right there

guess i didnt look hard enough

oh

you have to click on it after you enable it

[stable jackal]

hello! ive imported Mirror and done all the steps, i can connect locally and such, but the tutorial says i should tick Client Authority, but in the network transform there's no client authority anymore....

how do i put authority on the player prefab?

main problem is one player can manipulate all the characters at once so... what can i do?

Unity 2022.3.2f1

[timber tide]

Should ask up in the Mirror discord, otherwise try #archived-networking

but usually if it's a specific library, you'd probably get more help in its related communities cause not everyone uses Mirror

[tepid summit]

ive made a script and its not creating errors, but it isnt working

    public GameObject BoxObj;
    public GameObject BoxPref;
    void Update()
    {
       if(BoxObj == null)
       {
        GameObject newBox = Instantiate(BoxPref, this.transform.position + new Vector3(-1, 0, 0), this.transform.rotation);
       } 
    }

any ideas?

[rare basin]

"it isn't working"

how are we supposed to know what isnt working exactly

and what is the desired behaviour

[tepid summit]

it doesnt do anything

check if the object is null/destroyed and spawn a new one

[rare basin]

because this code doesn't make sense

you are checking if BoxObj is null

then you are trying to spawn null object edit: nevermind

did you debug log it?

to see if it's being called?

where are you assigning BoxObj?

[tepid summit]

ill do this one

lemme check

[rare basin]

thats the first thing you should've done before asking

debug your code

[tepid summit]

its not

so theres the issue

not being called, that is

[rare basin]

yup

[tepid summit]

yes

[tepid summit]

do you know what to do?

[rare basin]

if(BoxObj == null) this is not true

so it doesn't enter that if, so it doesnt spawn the thing you want to spawn

[tepid summit]

right

youve forgotten to apply an object

on the thing with the script

[rare basin]

what is FightSystem line 33?

then camTransform is null

not assigned

[lilac crow]

yes that!

[tepid summit]

could use a list

wait no

i forgot the name

its pretty much a list

[rare basin]

quest systems are very broad topic

depends on the design you want to achieve

there is plenty of tutorials on that

you can make it based on ScriptableObject, interfaces etc

[tepid summit]

do you know of another way of calling the if

[rare basin]

what do you mean by calling the if, you are not calling it

[tepid summit]

signalling it

you know?

its on the tip of my tongue

"calling" is the only verb i can think of right now

[lilac crow]

thank you

[tepid summit]

jesus

[lilac crow]

i know 🥲🥲

[tepid summit]

i was talking about the message above

this one

[lilac crow]

and i noticed

[tepid summit]

ok

making sure

its very missable

[lilac crow]

the funny fact is when i do ctrl+z the error is gone . but i just rewrite the function name nothing more and it make it to what was befor then the error gone like poff

[tepid summit]

oh

i just realised you wrote the mesage

ohhhhhhhhhh

REFERENCE

thats it

[tepid summit]

i mean referencing the if

[tepid summit]

do you know another way of referencing the if

[rare basin]

you cannot reference if

[tepid summit]

damn

[rare basin]

do you know what a reference is?

[tepid summit]

sort of

[rare basin]

doesnt look like you do

[tepid summit]

let me get it

{
 GetTheCheese();
}

that would reference GetTheCheese

every.

frame.

[faint sluice]

That would call get the cheese

Not reference

[tepid summit]

oh well same thing

except

[faint sluice]

Not really no

[tepid summit]

it isnt

[faint sluice]

Reference is usually referred to well, referencing the variables itself

[lilac crow]

good news i fixed it and was very lame 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[tepid summit]

yayyyy

[rare basin]

no

[tepid summit]

i know

[rare basin]

that will call GetTheCheese() function every frame

[tepid summit]

it calls it

[rare basin]

you are missing bassic C# terms and knowledge

[tepid summit]

i wouldnt say mising

i was trying to reply quickly as i dont like keeping people waiting

i didnt think about it

and just

posted the mesage

that is also why i make a lot of typo's

[eternal needle]

You are most definitely missing the basics, but as long as you're trying to learn them then it's fine. Hopefully you're not just trying to make the next competitive shooter at the same time

[tepid summit]

i only just learned about (object) == null (only because i didnt require use of that) so i dont know much about (object) == null

[tepid summit]

i am most certainly not making the next anything

just personal projects

dm me anytime

use SetActive instead of disabling all the renderers

np my man

[faint sluice]

Could be an issue with duration of animation clip not syncing with the time you're using in script too

Also animation could be looping

[tepid summit]

also that

oh i see

did you make sure to re-enable them at the start of the anim

[faint sluice]

Showing clip might help recognise the issue

[trail heart]

If your animator is controlling the sprite renderer's active status, it probably cannot be controlled from code
It's possible that blending to an animation that enables the sprite renderer causes it to switch too early, as booleans can't really be blended
Best to use code only for it at first

[tepid summit]

renderers

yeah i would just have the death in the anim, then use SetActive in a script

[faint sluice]

I would argue if disabling an object (especially a child object) is part of the animation, it should be done via animation not via script but depends on need i guess

[trail heart]

It does depend a lot on the case
If the disabling and enabling matches code conditions very well, it'll be more convenient to do there, as I'd expect dying and respawning to do
If it'd have to closely match the animation keyframes, that'd be hard to approximate in code, for example if blinking in and out during an animation

[faint sluice]

Exactly , you can forget about which specific point in time you're supposed to enable and disable an object and just worry about when you want to respawn

It's different thing tho if you want to disable object that are not children of animator

[tepid summit]

GameObject.SetActive(true);

@peak tide

[honest haven]

i have 2 scenes that i want to toggle between. rather then having 2 scenecan i have one scene with 2 scene?

[faint sluice]

[tepid summit]

you want a scene,

within a scene?

[trail heart]

https://docs.unity3d.com/2020.1/Documentation/Manual/MultiSceneEditing.html
https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/SceneManagement.LoadSceneMode.Additive.html
You can load scenes additively

[honest haven]

yh so i have 2 scenes currently one is an arcade the other is a mini game(arcade game) and dont really want to carry all my DDOL to another scene like the player and game manager as they are not needed.

[faint sluice]

You can use subscenes but it's usually used when the world of a scene is too big, personally I've never used that in my life but you can look it up

[honest haven]

and i dont to build the mini game as an ui

[tepid summit]

use a canvas and ui for the game

[tepid summit]

why

[trail heart]

A minigame can also exist in a prefab if you don't need a whole scene asset for it

[honest haven]

Well i could, will all objects work the same, can i use sprite renderer on a ui or will i have to swap things

[trail heart]

Whether it's UI or not doesn't make a difference in this case

[honest haven]

ok thank you. maybe ill try the UI approach then.

[trail heart]

Don't make it UI if you don't need it to be UI

Canvas is a component like any other, it's not concerned with how it's loaded in or out

So look into additive scenes and prefabs and decide which suits you better

[honest haven]

awesome thank you

[faint sluice]

Had an intern make 200 scenes for different levels in the game, i internally cringed so hard

[timber tide]

one scene all I need

[faint sluice]

Prefabs all the way babyy

[trail heart]

That's not inherently bad, if there were 200 levels anyway
Scenes and prefabs have very few practical differences

[faint sluice]

But imagine trying to figure out why scene 130-150-160 crash, while others working just fine

Turns out you just disabled a game object in scene that's enabled in every single scene but since you made duplicates of scene there's no way to confirm every single element is exactly same except for the "new level"

[trail heart]

Needless duplication is definitely a mistake, but scenes themselves don't require it

You'll want to reuse prefabs within them anyway

[faint sluice]

Exactly

Which surprise surprise, intern didn't

Every single scene was duplicate, and levels weren't prefab

[trail heart]

The nice thing about scenes is that there's the built in method to load them asynchronously, unlike prefabs, but the drawback is that you can't offset or rotate them if that's required

[faint sluice]

Wait wut

Offset/rotate?

[trail heart]

If you need to build say, a labyrinth from modular rooms, it's practical to have room prefabs and instantiate them at every connection point
But as far as I can tell scenes even when loaded additively can only be in the position they were originally created in
Unless you make an extra parent for all the objects in it and move that, but that's worth the trouble only in rare occasions

[faint sluice]

Ahhh got it

[tepid summit]

    public GameObject BoxObj;
    public GameObject BoxPref;
    public bool _Summoned = false;
    void FixedUpdate()
    {
        GameObject go = GameObject.Find("Box");
        if (go) {
            Debug.Log(go.name);
        } else {
            _Summoned = true;
        }
        if  (_Summoned)
        {
          GameObject newBox = Instantiate(BoxPref, this.transform.position + new Vector3(-1, 0, 0), this.transform.rotation); 
          _Summoned = false; 
        }
        
    }``` im trying to sset the bool to false so the cubes stop spawning but they wont stop when they start

[faint sluice]

Definitely desync between "respawn"/enable object

[rare basin]

jezus christ

[faint sluice]

When are you enabling your character again?

[rare basin]

why are you doing such things in FixedUpdate

[tepid summit]

wait yeah

[trail heart]

If your animation event is used for respawn, try moving it one or two frames earlier

[tepid summit]

let me rearrange some thuings

[rare basin]

and why in Update type-methods at all

if you just want to do it once

[tepid summit]

i dont

wait

i havev an idea

[rare basin]

doing any Find-type methods every frame is terrible

[faint sluice]

The "gameobject.Find" in fixed update is giving me goosebumps

What a madlad

[trail heart]

Like we said, stick only to animation or code for the enabling/disabling, not both

[rare basin]

Find() in general is giving me goosebumps

[faint sluice]

Copycat

[rare basin]

i was replying to you xd

[faint sluice]

Ahh my bad xd

[tepid summit]

i need it to constantly check

[faint sluice]

I see in your animation clip at 1:15 (or end) you're doing something to your sprite renderer, what is it? Spill the beans

[rare basin]

why are you doing Thread.Sleep

it's not a good idea

make it a coroutine

IEnumerator

[faint sluice]

Look up "coroutines" in unity, pretty damn handy tools

[rare basin]

also you can extend that code by firing OnDeath event

[faint sluice]

Most used things after if and loops for me

[rare basin]

public UnityEvent OnDeath;

public void Death()
{
  //your code
  OnDeath?.Invoke();
}

then you can subscribe to that events via inspector (like in button's OnClick)

[faint sluice]

I would rather have that method be fired inside animation as event

[rare basin]

still can do both

[faint sluice]

No need to check for delays and all

[rare basin]

if he wants to for some reason

but yea it's better to keep things in animation timeline

to be more precise

for example making footstep sounds, its much better to do it in animation events

instead of playing with delays lol

[faint sluice]

Yea

[rare basin]

no, what made you think that

public UnityEvent OnDeath;

write this in your script

then in your Death() method add this

OnDeath?.Invoke();

you will see that you can assign stuff in the inspector

and they will be called when the event has invoked

disable objects, enable objects, call methods from other components etc

idk if im not going to "deep", this might be kinda confusing to you at this level

[faint sluice]

Events may not be the easiest subject to grasp as beginner

[rare basin]

they are not hard at all, but if you are just beggining then they might be, hard to say 😄

[faint sluice]

Me personally learnt to use them after 1 year of practicing lol, and still haven't found good use for them in the games we make

[rare basin]

at the end preferably

there is a common mistake of people firing the event, before actually doing "stuff"

like for example you have event OnDamageTaken

but you call it before calling the TakeDamage() method from healthsystem

and imagine you have healthbar assigned to that event

[tepid summit]

what do you suggest

[rare basin]

and it's not updating properly

[tepid summit]

i wanted it to constantly be watching for the destroy

[faint sluice]

Caching it in a variable

And check if variable is null

[rare basin]

use events

[tepid summit]

ill try iy

[rare basin]

don't

he's trying to do weird things

[tepid summit]

never done events before

[rare basin]

with instantiating in Update

[tepid summit]

im more confident with variables

[faint sluice]

Or yeah, use On destroy call back on the game object

[rare basin]

make it proper way

[faint sluice]

@tepid summit what are you trying to do exactly???

[tepid summit]

dw, ive got it

[rare basin]

i dont understand what do you mean

you are calling OnDeath event in your Death method

now you can subscribe things to that event

via inspector/or code

[faint sluice]

Lemme break it down for you

-> you touch spike
-> you call death method

Death{
Runs animation
OnDeath?.invoke()
}

MethodSubscribedtoOnDeath()
{
Wait until sprite is disabled
Respawn after x seconds
}

[rare basin]

you should really watch some basic tutorials

on animations and animation events

right now it's impoosible for you to understand what are we saiyng

[faint sluice]

Actually yknow what let's scrap the topic and start from scratch,

Where are you enabling the sprite from?

Is it only in the script or any other animation is enabling it too?

[trail heart]

Shouldn't do both

[faint sluice]

Ok so at start of death animation sprite is being enabled

Death animation lasts 1:15 and it's not looped

You're starting animation and death function at the same time

Death function re enables sprite after 0.5 second correct?

[rare basin]

pointless

[tepid summit]

why

[trail heart]

Don't do it that way so then you won't "need to"
Either the animation or the code should be responsible for that, otherwise you'll have an awful time troubleshooting

[vast saffron]

guys should i learn coding while making a game? or without?

whats more efficient

i wanna learn game development

[faint sluice]

Depends on what level of coding do you know

[vast saffron]

not much

beginner

just lil basics

thats it

[slender nymph]

it is up to you. it's typically easier to learn c# without also learning the unity engine at the same time. and most unity tutorials don't really cover the more intermediate topics of c#

[vast saffron]

i know how to use assets and that in unity but i cant really code

[vast saffron]

yea true

[faint sluice]

Well I would recommend beginner level c# courses on YouTube

[vast saffron]

ight

is it easy to learn C

C# without knowing maybe C

or python or any other language

[slender nymph]

you do not need to learn C in order to learn c#. do not go and learn one language for the sole purpose of then switching to another language to learn

[outer scarab]

Learning C# in todays world is easier than learning C.

[vast saffron]

ight yea some people told me to first learn idk python then java then C and C#

but i think

[outer scarab]

Nah

[vast saffron]

python and java are pretty boring

[timber tide]

c# better starting point

[faint sluice]

Yeah no

[vast saffron]

alright

[slender nymph]

this is incredibly stupid advice

[vast saffron]

yea idk

i tried python shii was boring

[faint sluice]

Stick to one language until you actually understand the concept of programming (efficiently)

[vast saffron]

i was just lost lol

ight

thanks for the help

[outer scarab]

To be honest, if you learn one, learning the others will be easy.

Beginners often struggle with syntax.

[timber tide]

python is a little more intermediate I'd say because syntax is less verbose

[vast saffron]

yea imma try c# then

i just really wanna learn C# and C++ in my career

thats the 2 that i wanna be good at

[twilit dirge]

is there a way to reference my specific scriptableobjects from other scripts? i cant find a way to do it anywhere

[slender nymph]

https://unity.huh.how/references
specifically the Serialized references part if it is an SO asset

[faint sluice]

I would recommend c# over c++ as c# is easier to understand overall , atleast as first language

[honest haven]

if you learn the basics of vars,for,foreach,whiles and functions. you can pick up any language. the syntax is not the issue. its the thinking process. you can always google syntax.

[vast saffron]

alright thanks for the help again

imma stick to it

[outer scarab]

And if you really going to mess with cpp, give rustlang a try!

It's very fun

[vast saffron]

alright

imma start with C#

[outer scarab]

Good idea

🙂

[vast saffron]

[honest haven]

i think of it like this. say the problem was i had a hundred objects and i need to make sure each of them had a name. then the code break down would be i need an array and a for loop. then google the syntax

[slender nymph]

this is easy to say as someone who isn't just starting out with programming. let the complete beginner learn a specific language and how to code in general before suggesting they just learn little bits of a language because syntax can be googled

[honest haven]

https://www.codewars.com/

[faint sluice]

Problem solving skills are developed after you learn the programming core concepts, not right out the gate

[honest haven]

this is also good

[outer scarab]

I think giving suggestions is nothing bad, just depends on the type of suggestion.
As an example, someone who never learnt any programming language.. why would you tell him to start with C instead of C#?

Those guys will get frustrated fast

Like in C# he doesn't have to deal with pointers, he can easily do mistakes and IDE/compiler will tell him

[honest haven]

well you say that but for me to become a web developer and get on a course i didnt have to learn the code it was how i break it down. that's how i was excepted

[outer scarab]

But "Learn Python first then Java" is a really stupid advice.

[faint sluice]

You can't really expect people to know (Google) how to make a chocolate castle when they don't even know how to melt a chocolate yet

[outer scarab]

On the other hand, who knows Java well, almost knows C# well.

[twilit dirge]

nothing there explains how to reference a specific scriptable object in particular, it's all just guides of how to reference gameobjects

[slender nymph]

use a serialized reference

[faint sluice]

Game object is a type of class
Scriptable object is also a type of class 👀

[twilit dirge]

I try, but how can I do that if i need to refernece the editor class used to create the scriptableobject but i can't because it's in an editor foolder because it needs to be?

[slender nymph]

anything you expect to use at runtime should not be inside an Editor folder

on account of anything being inside the Editor folder will be included in the Editor assembly which is not included in a build

[twilit dirge]

It's the script to create the scriptableobject, i just need to reference the this specific scriptableobject itself

[blissful vector]

As a Java developer for years, C# felt so weird in the first couple of weeks. Especially the naming conventions in C# such as using "Dictionary" instead of "Map"

[slender nymph]

make your variable the same type as the scriptable object then just drag your scriptable object into the slot in the inspector. that's literally it

of course the ScriptableObject's script must not be in an Editor folder otherwise its type will not exist in a build

[faint sluice]

What is it?

[outer scarab]

The class names are different, yeah. However, they are very similar in terms of functionality and the syntax of Java and C# is almost exactly the same. (There are small differences which are also version-related)

[twilit dirge]

Yeah that's my problem then, but how do i make it in the first place if it's script isn't in the editor folder therefore i cannot create it using the editor

[faint sluice]

You can create scriptable objects without having the script stay in editor folder

[slender nymph]

huh? you don't need to put it in an editor folder just to create an instance in the editor. the editor folder should only contain things that belong in the editor assembly and will not be included in a build

[cunning rapids]

Guys I have a problem with my animation and I was wondering if I can use a script to fix it.

I made a shotgun empty animation where the shell flies off the barrel when you cock it. The problem is, when I transition the animation back to the idle animation, the shell flies back into the barrel. I think what might be a good solution is something to do with scripting the bullet to stay invisible during the transition back, or something like that. I'm relatively new with Unity animations so help please (I can't provide a video in the meantime)

[slender nymph]

this seems like an #🏃┃animation issue
but you also have another keyframe way past that circled bit

[twilit dirge]

oh ok thanks. i swear i learned that somewhere. im still new to unity so this is driving me crazy sometimes

[faint sluice]

1:13 is doing what?

[verbal dome]

You can use a particle system to emit the shells

[slender nymph]

i'd bet the issue is exit time on the transitions. of course that still isn't a code issue.

[verbal dome]

@cunning rapids Play it with an animation event

[cunning rapids]

The shell is a physical object

[faint sluice]

I would put dots at 2:00 same frame with "teleport" player so sprite is enabled as soon as teleport happens

[verbal dome]

Instantiate it or use a particle system

Doesnt make sense to recycle one shell casing

[cunning rapids]

I'm using the animation tab, how can I make an instance during that?

[verbal dome]

From a script

A method you call from an animation event @cunning rapids

[slender nymph]

ah yes, "buggy somehow" is super descriptive. this still doesn't seem like a code issue though and this is a code channel.

[outer scarab]

#🏃┃animation

[cunning rapids]

Why not? It's entire purpose is to be an animation prop

I don't actually shoot out the shell

[hidden bone]

after a while of falling, the speed resets for some reason. is this a problem with unity or could it be a part of a script

[slender nymph]

probably your code. it seems to happen as you pass platforms

[verbal dome]

Making it invisible while it moves back is also a valid option

[hidden bone]

ok

[faint sluice]

Maybe in code somewhere you reset the speed to 0

[cunning rapids]

Oh God I can't believe I didn't think of that. Thanks

[verbal dome]

I know you suggested it...

Why are you asking if you have a solution

[cunning rapids]

I suggested it making it invisible DURING the transition, not setting the position back in the animation

But that was a pretty stupid suggestion, the latter of them is better

[verbal dome]

Oh I thought you were being sarcastic at first lol

[cunning rapids]

Yeah I can see why, sorry bout that 😭

The tone sounded sarcastic

[trail heart]

@cunning rapids Animation events can be useful for that
Though they can be finicky with transitions too sometimes
I believe they fire off if the animation has any influence at all as part of the transition at the event's time

[cunning rapids]

That's the main problem with transitions tho, they completely ignore the final state of objects in the animation

[verbal dome]

Yeah, though if your method uses AnimationEvent as a parameter, you can check the event's animationClip's weight

To avoid events firing off at say, 0.1 weight

[cunning rapids]

I use an animator and the Play() method

Which is probably set for problem is the future since I can't set any conditions in the future

I think you need an animation trigger for that

Although I could be speaking nonsense since I haven't used the Unity animation system in a while

[verbal dome]

If you hide the shell while it is moving back, you dont even need to call a method, just animate the enabled toggle of the renderer (or gameobject)

[cunning rapids]

Yeah that makes sense

[trail heart]

True, Play() method is not the intended way, rather setting parameters is

[cunning rapids]

Anyways, thanks for your help guys :)

[verbal dome]

Yeah dont think I ever used Play

[cunning rapids]

Yeah I always see people use parameters and then play using SetTrigger()

[verbal dome]

Man I kinda wanna get Animancer.
Mecanim seems so restricted

[trail heart]

Animator gives you a lot of power to automate things, but that's kinda the only efficient way to use it
And even if you optimize the need of transitions to a minimum, they're still a lot of clicking to make

[cunning rapids]

Are those some plugins I'm unaware of?

[trail heart]

Most people don't care about animator state machines (and don't realise they actually need them)

[faint sluice]

I thought they were some anime website

[verbal dome]

Animancer is an asset, has a free and pro version. Mecanim is the builtin unity animation system. It used to be an asset

[faint sluice]

Felt so lost

[cunning rapids]

Based on the context of the discussion it would be a little odd to suddenly switch to anime

[faint sluice]

That's why felt so lost lmao

[cunning rapids]

Mecanim used to be an asset?

How long ago?

[verbal dome]

Idk I think I started with Unity 5 and it was integrated into unity then

So yeah a long time ago

[cunning rapids]

Tbf it's more than enough for most indie devs. I mean just the fact you can change the animation tangent is good enough for me

[verbal dome]

Yeah, my animations are just getting a bit too complex to manage

Thinking of building a custom layer on top of mecanim to support different crossfades, regional "events" etc.

But maybe Animancer can do all that

[cunning rapids]

For more complex animations like walking you can just use procedural, no?

[verbal dome]

I do use procedural stuff for foot placement etc.

It's just not as efficient or good looking if you only have procedural animation

[cunning rapids]

How so?

[verbal dome]

Well you have way more artistic control when you hand animate things

[earnest atlas]

       var rClouds = _clouds.GetComponent<SpriteRenderer>();
       _xClouds = rClouds.sprite.rect.width;```

I have images that are tiled, I want to get their size on X axys without taking the tiled repetitions.

[cunning rapids]

That's true but it's brutally long and complex to animate by hand

[earnest atlas]

I want to move them X amount of spaces before teleporting them back when they reach the border

[cunning rapids]

bounds.size.x?

[earnest atlas]

Wont this give me entire image size?

[cunning rapids]

Yes

Don't you want that?

It will ignore the tiling

[earnest atlas]

No, its tiled so moving the entire image will move the tiled no?

[cunning rapids]

It will instead return the actual size of the sprite in thr world space rather than counting tiling

_xClouds = rClouds.bounds.size.x;```

Like this

[earnest atlas]

Welp lets see what it gives me

[cunning rapids]

Try it, maybe it's what you're looking for

[earnest atlas]

Great it gives me NoReff because serialize field for some reason broke

Yeah evrything has it just does not count it as serialized

[cunning rapids]

Give more details of the code

[earnest atlas]

I have deleted and saved it again and now its working after I added it again

[cunning rapids]

Oh alright

[earnest atlas]

Great now all of them unlinked

[cunning rapids]

Dude

[earnest atlas]

I hate unity

[cunning rapids]

Just... give more details

[cunning rapids]

That's strange

[earnest atlas]

YES

As I mentioned its broken garbage

Im restarting entire thing

[cunning rapids]

2D isn't my field of expertise so idk what's going on here

[slender nymph]

this warning is because you are not assigning it anywhere in code. this is normal because visual studio does not know that you've assigned a reference in the inspector for one of your objects

[cunning rapids]

Hell, I'd argue Unity isn't my area of expertise

[earnest atlas]

No it works correctly in other places

Its just decided to act special

[cunning rapids]

Not exactly a brilliant programmer

[timid saffron]

is _skybox a local variable now? we don't use = in c sharp?

[slender nymph]

also stop using GameObject variables. use the component you actually care about

[slender nymph]

no, it is still a class level variable. it's just private and not serialized. local variables are declared within methods

[earnest atlas]

I will need them later to use transform on them

[cunning rapids]

If you want to set a sky box in a scene just change it in the Lighting tab

No need for a script unless you want to periodically change it

[slender nymph]

you do not need to reference the GameObject to get its transform

use the type of component you actually need access to in your code

[cunning rapids]

public Transform object;

?

[slender nymph]

sure if you only need to use the Transform. otherwise use the actual component you care about. every component has a reference to its transform

[timid saffron]

I just want to set a local variable

like var asdadas = 3;

[rare basin]

do you know what is a local variable?

[timid saffron]

in gamemaker i used them

[rare basin]

this is definitely not a local variable

you can acces _skybox from any function

[timid saffron]

so this is a script then?

[rare basin]

what?

[cunning rapids]

int Integer = 3;

Works the same

[rare basin]

void Update()
{
   int variable;
}

this is a local variable

int variable;

void Update()
{
   
}

this isnt

[vast saffron]

is c# the best for game development?

[rare basin]

there is no answer for such question

is lamborghini the best car?

[vast saffron]

why is that

[cunning rapids]

Depends on the game you're aiming for

Minecraft was coded in Java

[earnest atlas]

Java script is yhe best

[rare basin]

preferences, project needs

[cunning rapids]

Tf2 in Python and C++

[rare basin]

skill

[vast saffron]

i mean if you wanna ride off road probably not but if you like fast cars its good

[rare basin]

exactly the same with gamedev coding language 😉

[timid saffron]

and one last question and im going. we set a local variable in unity then is it the same logic as in gamemaker that you cant use it outside of that code block?

[rare basin]

you can try it and see yourself

that is the purpose of doing a LOCAL variable

so its only available LOCALY

[timid saffron]

well Im asking because in gamemaker you could use a local variable

outside of the code block

by using scripts

[rare basin]

try it

and see

[cunning rapids]

Don't referenced private vars also act as local variables or am I just stupid?

[rare basin]

local variables aren't engine specific things

[verbal dome]

It exists only inside the code block {}

[rare basin]

they dont, read what is a local variable

[vast saffron]

i jus dont understand for what game i need what language you know i just wanna do maybe like a simple game where you can drive cars around a map

[rare basin]

i'd start with C# begginre course and Unity after

C++ might be more complex to start with, with header files, pointers etc

[vast saffron]

okay

where can i find it

on yt?

[rare basin]

[cunning rapids]

Making cars in Unity isn't a simple task lmao

[verbal dome]

Check the pina on this channel

[rare basin]

depends

simple racing game is easy to make

[vast saffron]

i already did it once i jsut downloaded assets

[rare basin]

realistic car behaviour? nope

[vast saffron]

but it had many bugs

[vast saffron]

nah

simple

[rare basin]

go for it then

[cunning rapids]

Wheel colliders and setting the different physics properties of your car can be gruelling for a beginner

Such as myself

[rare basin]

he doesnt need to use such things

[verbal dome]

If it is simple then why did you have many bugs

[rare basin]

if he wants to make just a simple game

[vast saffron]

yea that was the problem my car wouldnt stop and it bugged when driving into like rocks

it feel across the map

[rare basin]

but for the first projects

you might wnat to do something easier

like pong game or sth

[vast saffron]

never said its simple

i said

i want to make a simple one

not a complicated one with realistic driving physique

[cunning rapids]

Unity is overkill for pong tbh

[rare basin]

why is that?

[vast saffron]

ight

[rare basin]

weird statement

you can learn how components works, how to make proper connection/references between scrvipts etc by making pong

[cunning rapids]

Learn basic programming structure, terminology, and syntax before worrying about other stuff

[rare basin]

then you can extend it by making powerups, fancy animations etc

Unity isn't overkill for anything

[vast saffron]

is c# good for pong?

i just wanna focus on one language

[rare basin]

that's not related

[vast saffron]

many people do it with idk python

or smnth like that

[vast saffron]

oh ok

[rare basin]

you can do pong in c#, c++, java

whatever

[verbal dome]

You gotta realize that the language doesnt really matter

[rare basin]

there is no such thing as "whats better language for X game"

[vast saffron]

alright

imma learn c# then

[rare basin]

good luck

[vast saffron]

while learning unity

thanks

[cunning rapids]

Yeah but it's a basic gane for unity unless you want to add cool effects later on

Otherwise Python might be a better fit

[cunning rapids]

I'll counter that by saying depending on what you do it does

Because Python is great for more branches of programming when it comes to terms of security or software engineering

[verbal dome]

We talking games though

[rare basin]

but they meant exactly in the game dev context

[verbal dome]

Performance is probably the biggest difference between languages

C++ is fast but I just love working with C#

[cunning rapids]

Exactly, my point is that some languages are worse than others when making games or other branches

It's possible to implement Python in games, but usually, C-based languages are used in stuff like gane engines

[timid saffron]

can you tell me whats wrong? when I press play the image I set doesnt apear in game

I think I did everything correct

I dont see any issues myself

[rare basin]

_skybox is null

so it doesnt "enter" the if

[verbal dome]

OnEnable might run before Awake

Also the <= should be <

[slender nymph]

it does not

[rare basin]

put ChangeSkybox(0); in Start() for example

[verbal dome]

Does the skybox component exist already or is it added via RequireComponent?

[timid saffron]

but it starts from zero

[verbal dome]

I wonder if reqcomp would cause issues

[timid saffron]

thats why

[verbal dome]

And ends at Count - 1

Not at Count

[rare basin]

3 elements at list = 3 Count

but the last index is 2

[rare basin]

doubt it, why would it

[timid saffron]

its built in i guess in unity?

skybox

[verbal dome]

If it ran after Awake. Idk, I dont see anything wrong here
