[thorn holly]

Is there like a general c# alternative to coroutines to make a method occur over multiple frames?

[rich adder]

async Task

[swift crag]

the concept can be implemented anywhere, mind you

coroutines are basically just...

[stuck palm]

is there a way to check if an application has been opened for the first time? like i want to set playerpref defaults or volume defaults or something

[ripe shard]

IEnumerator is C#, iterating them automatically is a Unity thing.

[rich adder]

bingo

[swift crag]

List<IEnumerator> stuffToCheck;

void CalledRegularly() {
  foreach (var item in stuffToCheck)
    item.MoveNext();
}

it also needs to remove items that are exhausted, but that's the idea

[faint sluice]

You can use Playerprefs

[swift crag]

you can test if the playerpref keys exist at all

in fact...

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/PlayerPrefs.GetFloat.html

[faint sluice]

Like getint with default value 0 and after first open set that int to 1

[swift crag]

it has a defaultValue argument

so just make that the default value you want

[faint sluice]

Oh yeah, getkey also works

[swift crag]

then your game will wind up saving the prefs later

[stuck palm]

using singletons has been great so far, it means i dont have to keep loading a loadscene with ddols on it

[swift crag]

and bam, you've got default values saved

[stuck palm]

idk if u told me this

[swift crag]

some of my singleton monobehaviours live in DontDestroyOnLoad :p

i was just working on that a minute ago, actually

I have per-scene singletons that handle a single game session

and then eternal singletons that handle the whole play session

[gleaming wagon]

https://gdl.space/qujopicite.cpp is this okay for setting the score

[stuck palm]

still, i have discovered magic of singletons

[swift crag]

Yeah, that'll do just fine.

[gleaming wagon]

Why cant I add that public static int

it cant find score even though its public

[swift crag]

you can't access a static field through a specific instance

[rich adder]

static hell

[swift crag]

either make the field non-static or don't reference a specific ScoreScript

[rich adder]

avoid static for this

[queen adder]

someone can help? with my code? i need to show checkpoints sequentially when you collide with them

[swift crag]

I'd rather have a static reference to the ScoreScript than a bunch of static fields on the ScoreScript

[rich adder]

show them ?

[queen adder]

cs

[gleaming wagon]

wait but then how will i make it so every object that has the score script has the same score?

[queen adder]

can we play with sprite editor via code? I want to move each square 16 pixels to the right

cant reslice cuz animations already linked to them 🥹

[rich adder]

make it a singleton also this
#💻┃code-beginner message

[gleaming wagon]

https://gdl.space/ehepiqepof.cpp here is the scrore script after the changes incase you need this

[rich adder]

https://gamedevbeginner.com/singletons-in-unity-the-right-way/

[swift crag]

If everyone has a reference to a ScoreScript, then just make the field non-static

A static field is not attached to a specific object. It's stored in the class itself.

[rare basin]

i feel like we're doing circles

you should watch some basic c# & unity tutorials

kinda hard to explain things to you

[swift crag]

Therefore, it is inappropriate for something that each instance of ScoreScript should have its own value for

[queen adder]

please

no, why is not full

wait

here

[queen adder]

here

[rich adder]

ok and whats the issue again ?

[frank needle]

you can create a seperate script that can be accessed by any script that uses the score variable. Use this new script to store the players score and pull the score value from it when you wanna display it. Write a function in this script that updates the score to the new score you desire.

thats how my peewee brain thinks this could work if you aint found a solution

[queen adder]

here for not spaming the same

[rich adder]

What do you mean by show them

[queen adder]

appear, not show

[rare basin]

what do you mean by appear

[rich adder]

its the same thing

[queen adder]

[rich adder]

maybe stop letting gpt write your code it be easier for you to explain the problem

[rare basin]

oh no, another chat-gpt enjoyer?

[rich adder]

this time in spanish !

[rare basin]

even better 😄

[languid spire]

Portuguese

[queen adder]

for example, when you collide with the first checkpoint, the second checkpoint appears, and so on with all those that are in the parent

[buoyant knot]

is this man really coding with chatGPT?

[rare basin]

yup

looks like it

[buoyant knot]

my father keeps lecturing me about how great it is for coding

[rare basin]

you can always ask chat-gpt since he already knows yours(his) code

[rich adder]

just move indexes through an list

[buoyant knot]

and then we have every single example to the contrary lmao

[rich adder]

its not that diffcult

the GPT code you sent its overcomplicated

and doesnt work

learn how to use Arrays

scrolling through index of checkpoints shouldbe easy as that

[queen adder]

He doesn't do things correctly

[buoyant knot]

every time I tell him chatGPT isn’t good for coding, he just tells me I haven’t used it enough myself

[rich adder]

no shit

[buoyant knot]

arguing with a brick wall would be more productive

[rich adder]

ah so its not their first rodeo here

[rare basin]

sherlock

[buoyant knot]

talking about my father

[rare basin]

i always have the same discussion with my brother and he ends up saying "then you are not fully using chat-gpt potential, user issue"

[rich adder]

Oh lol does ur dad get paid by OpenAI ?

[buoyant knot]

not even. but he’s very tech saavy

[rich adder]

no arguing in a few years it will be capable of some interesting stuff but 4.0 aint it yet

[rare basin]

it has insane potential

for the future

[rich adder]

easier for the art ones to get better since that art doesn't require logic systems xD

[faint sluice]

Even with art it's just blatant most of the time

[buoyant knot]

he got his PhD in network engineering before it was a real discipline, and he’s been THE tech guy since the 80’s

[rare basin]

well my boss just fired two 2D concept artist cuz of AI so 😄

[faint sluice]

All you have to do is look at lining/lighting and FINGERS

[rich adder]

yeah thats def the first field to go since these are more practical for concept arts but not full designs / sprites /

[rare basin]

yup

[rich adder]

the influx in code questions that are gpt is becoming rampant

I dont think it was this bad a few years back was it on this discord

[buoyant knot]

part of my father’s PhD thesis was based on passwords being way stronger if they were multiple words. like baddog being a potent password

[rare basin]

yea it's very common lately in here

[faint sluice]

Isn't there like a rule in here that prohibits helping with chatgpt written code? I could swear I've read that somewhere

[buoyant knot]

that wasn’t the whole thing, but it was a pretty big discovery at the time

[rare basin]

there is

but 50% of newcomers never read the rules

or more

[rich adder]

kinda.. its not very specific on that

just says dont Post AI answers or question that are unverified

doesn't specifically say you can't help fix once you find its AI code, not that I'd want to

[rare basin]

well helping someone who has chat-gpt generated code is completely pointless

as he doesnt even understand the code in most cases

[rich adder]

we just need a dump AI-Coding channel

[buoyant knot]

the story goes that he was TAing for a class (I assume in cryptography), and challenged students to beat the standard password-brute force algorithm. It was based on Dictionary brute force.
It defeated everyone’s password easily, and the moral of the lecture was supposed to be that passwords are not safe.

[rich adder]

all the GPT fetishers can hang out there

[ripe shard]

In the 80s computer science was still catching up with writing down the obvious things.

[buoyant knot]

some smartass kid walks up, puts in a two word password, and everything comes to a grinding halt

several years later, degree

tldr he basically studied weaknesses in dictionary attacks

[thorn holly]

Alright, so I’m trying to grasp the concepts of async await but this is really difficult for me to understand lol. So say I have a function. I want this function to execute some code. Then, I want it to wait for player input. Then, I want it to execute more code. I’m assuming for the “wait for player input” thing to work, I’d have to use async await, but I don’t really understand how I would go about using it. I also understand that using a coroutine would be better for this situation, I’m just trying to grasp the general concept of async await with this hypothetical.

[rare basin]

you can just use coroutines for that all you've described

WaitUntil()

[rich adder]

true

[thorn holly]

Yes, I know, I’m just trying to understand the concept of async await.

[rich adder]

WaitUntil(()=> Input.anyKey) iirc

[rare basin]

on old input system only

[buoyant knot]

the benefit of coroutines is that it is easy to wait into specific points of unity’s event functions, in terms of timing

like WaitForFixedUpdate(), WaitForEndOfFrame(), null…

[rare basin]

did you watch tutorials about async?

[thorn holly]

Yeah, I get that, this is just a hypothetical and I’m trying to figure out how async await works

[rare basin]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WY-mk-ZGAq8

that helped me a lot

[rich adder]

make console apps with asyc task , you'll be expert in no time 😆

[buoyant knot]

i have no actual experience on it, but my undersranding is that async just runs separare from main thread

[thorn holly]

Thank you, I’ve been looking at some other tutorials but they haven’t been too helpful, hopefully this one will help me understand. Thanks!

[ripe shard]

Async is not coupled to running in threads

[rare basin]

he also covers things how to convert coroutines into async so it's easier to understand if you are just starting with async

[buoyant knot]

isn’t it mostly a function that can run whenever?

so it could run in a different thread

but doesn’t need to

[rich adder]

which why if you do UI stuff you usually get error

[ripe shard]

It’s an abstraction around the idea of things running asynchronously, whatever that may mean in your project

[rich adder]

most UI run on main thread, so some framework you try to chaning UI in async and it spits error

[buoyant knot]

i mean, duh. But the question is when it runs

like if you do A, async B, C. B might be before or after C. But i don’t know enough

[elder osprey]

Hello, this is my first time using the built in character controller in unity. Currently I am having trouble with making the player jump when pressing the bind. Here is my script: https://hastebin.com/share/bodufewiqu.csharp.

[willow torrent]

hi sorry to interrupt but does anyone know how to collaborate with someone on a game?

[rich adder]

git + github

[buoyant knot]

this is separate from your problem, but I recommend making an enum for current player state. Eg neutral, jumping, swimming, etc. It will make your life easier

[willow torrent]

can you do steps… i have unity cloud

[buoyant knot]

I also made a separate class for player contact state, for things like grounding, touching left/right wall, etc. Because otherwise this shit gets real messy, really fast

just trust me on that

[rich adder]

just get something like Github Desktop, it does it all for you

there's plenty of tutorials on it + unity. make sure you use Unity .gitignore
I need to make a better one lol https://youtu.be/5IxUElilf2M
adding a collaborator is just as easy you do it on the website

[buoyant knot]

the fewer things going on inside your player movement class, the easier your life will be

[elder osprey]

as in a second class in the same script, or another script and then grab a reference too it?

[swift crag]

This looks fine. Is the "Jumped" message not happening at all?

Ah, verticalMove is probably going down forever

Consider setting it to 0 if isGrounded is true on the character controller.

[elder osprey]

No, the jump message is working properly.

[buoyant knot]

I have a separate file called ContactState.cs that defines a non-monobehaviour (POCO) class called ContactState. PlayerMovement has a field to contain a ContactState object.

you probably want a different class to have access to this object to modify it

[faint sluice]

Then? What's expected result vs what's happening?

[swift crag]

you should generally tell us what's wrong, yes (:

[buoyant knot]

so I have TileCollision (my game is based on tilemaps), which has OnCollision etc. Whenever I get collisions, I modify the contents of the current ContactState

[candid gorge]

Hey guys, could someone help me please? I dont know exactly why my character is falling like this when on the equator of a planet, this is the script that moves it:

{
    if(!UseCustomGravity)
    {
        gravDir = (attractor.transform.position - transform.position).normalized;
        rb.AddForce(gravDir * gravForce);
    }

    else
    {
        gravDir = gravDir.normalized;
        rb.AddForce(gravDir * gravForce * Time.deltaTime, ForceMode.VelocityChange);
    }

    transform.rotation = Quaternion.FromToRotation(transform.up, -gravDir) * transform.rotation;

    Debug.DrawRay(transform.position, gravDir * gravForce, Color.red);
}```

[elder osprey]

Apologies, the player says jump but isnt going, up, I'll try this real quick to see if it works.

[swift crag]

is UseCustomGravity turning on and off?

[buoyant knot]

I actually have ContactStateManager, which contains 2 ContactState objects. One for this frame, and one for last frame. Because there are a LOT of times where you want to compare this vs last frame. ContactStateManager just holds a reference to this frame and last frame’s contact state. Every frame, it deletes last frame’s contact state, and moves this frame’s contact state to be last frame state. This way we can start populating the current state.

[swift crag]

this is drifting pretty far away from Stick's question

[ivory bobcat]

#📖┃code-of-conduct The code could make zero sense. Folks may have to literally write, design and teach what their code does.
It's sort of necessary that the person knows what their code does or have some working/confirmed base foundation.
With a tutorial, at least we'd be able to tell them which step they've missed or verify if the final product actually works.

[candid gorge]

Custom gravity is a bool that changes between an attractor point and a manual vector for the gravity. This is the script of the editor:

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

[CustomEditor(typeof(Gravity))]
public class GravityEditor : Editor
{
    public override void OnInspectorGUI()
    {
        Gravity grav = (Gravity)target;

        grav.UseCustomGravity = EditorGUILayout.Toggle("Use Custom Gravity", grav.UseCustomGravity);
        grav.gravForce = EditorGUILayout.FloatField("Gravity Force Value", grav.gravForce);

        if (grav.UseCustomGravity)
        {
            grav.gravDir = EditorGUILayout.Vector3Field("Custom Gravity Direction", grav.gravDir);
        }

        else
        {
            grav.attractor = EditorGUILayout.ObjectField(grav.attractor, typeof(GameObject), true) as GameObject;
        }
    }
}```

[buoyant knot]

i’m just giving him separate advice that might help him stay organized. I royally fucked up my player movment script when I started, and it looked kind of like stick’s. I wasted weeks refactoring to sort everything back out, to be able to add features.

I want to save him the struggle that I went through

@elder osprey

[swift crag]

also, what's the problem, exactly?

it just looks like gravity is very weak

and you're moving up and down

[queen adder]

if you have multiple scripts using FixedUpdate, how do you know in which order they will execute

[swift crag]

you shouldn't care about the order

[summer stump]

You don't. Without doing a workaround and forcing the order

[queen adder]

gotcha

[swift crag]

Different classes can have different update orders

[faint sluice]

If you want a specific order of execution, you should have it inside single fixed update instead

[swift crag]

but I really do not enjoy relying on that

What are you trying to do?

[faint sluice]

Most of the time*

[candid gorge]

My main problem is that my jumping script doesnt work on the equator of the planet, and I think it has something to do with the gravity since it also works fine on the poles but doesnt on the sides. In this video you can see it better:

[swift crag]

it looks like the jump is always going in the +Y world direction

[candid gorge]

yeah it looks like that but idk why, this is the script that does it:

{
    //Vector3 jumpForces = rb.velocity;

    if (grounded)
    {
        //jumpForces.y = jumpForce;
        rb.AddForce(transform.up * jumpForce);
    }
    //rb.AddRelativeForce(jumpForces + transform.up, ForceMode.VelocityChange);
    //rb.velocity = jumpForces; //+ transform.up;
}```

[elder osprey]

So something like this for ground collisions?

[candid gorge]

its just this part rb.AddForce(transform.up * jumpForce);

the other lines are other things I tried and doesnt work

[swift crag]

i presume a ContactState would remember values

[swift crag]

AddRelativeForce was wrong because that converts from local to world space

so transform.up would be...double-transformed into world space, basically

AddForce(transform.up * jumpForce) is wrong, but it's in the right direction

[elder osprey]

What do you mean?

[swift crag]

It should be rb.AddForce(transform.up * jumpForce, ForceMode.Impulse)

it's an instantaneous change in momentum, not a steady force

[faint sluice]

Correct me if I'm wrong, if the object is turned sideways and tries to jump (sideways), wouldn't that rigidbodies x velocity increase instead of y?

[swift crag]

public class ContactData {
  public bool wasGrounded;
  public Vector3 groundNormal;
}

that kind of thing

[candid gorge]

I think i already tried that and it didnt work, imma try it again tho

[swift crag]

i don't think you need to rush to implement something like this :p

[swift crag]

that won't change the direction

[candid gorge]

the direction is transform.up

it should work right?

[swift crag]

Yes. I'm just pointing out that your force mode was wrong for a jump.

This won't fix your problem. It's just something you should fix while you're looking at it.

[candid gorge]

yeah it still dont work

[swift crag]

ForceMode.Impulse means "change the momentum by this much"
The default, ForceMode.Force means "apply this much steady force"

[candid gorge]

I still dont get why it isnt working, i think its the gravity script the problem but idk

[swift crag]

I wonder if messing with the transform's rotation is causing any problems for the rigidbody

That could explain why it's kinda...going up and down

[faint sluice]

Like this?

[candid gorge]

maybe

[swift crag]

consider setting the rigidbody's rotation directly instead -- rb.rotation = ...

I don't know how it stores momentum internally. If it's in local space, then this would make a fair bit of sense

[candid gorge]

yeah i tried alrady that

[swift crag]

rb.velocity is world-space, but who knows if that's how it the info is actually stored

[candid gorge]

mm okey, im going to try that and see

[faint sluice]

Ye

[warm anvil]

I seem to mostly get an issue with my IDE not being linked to Unity especially when I create a new project. As you can see the Debug.Log has no hover and is normal text so it has no knowledge of Unity it seems. So if anyone especially on a Mac knows more about the right procedures I appreciate your insight.

I'm running on a Mac with Visual Studio Code and Unity 2022.3.4f1 [for silicon]

I'd like to inquire if there are certain steps you need to take with registering your IDE (in this case Visual Studio Code) and/or in each project you create you need to install the Visual Studio Code package - but I'll pause on that question/answer for now

[gleaming wagon]

yes I used this to work around using new stuff, I get intimidated for some reason

[swift crag]

This is a legacy package that's no longer used.

!ide

[eternal falcon]

💡 IDE Configuration

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

Select one:

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

[swift crag]

Follow the instructions for VS Code.

[warm anvil]

Thanks Fen!

[swift crag]

your External Tools screen should look more like this after removing the old package and installing the Visual Studio Editor package

[thorn holly]

so i'm trying to make this basic async/await code that just logs something, waits for the player to press space, then logs something else. It logs the first thing, but pressing space doesn't do anything. Did I use async/await wrong?

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using UnityEngine;

public class AsyncStuff : MonoBehaviour
{
    // Start is called before the first frame update
    public bool onOrOff = false;
    void Start()
    {
        DoTheAsyncStuff();
    }

    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update()
    {
        if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Space))
        {
            onOrOff = true;
        }
    }

    public async void DoTheAsyncStuff()
    {
        Debug.Log("Started");
        await new Task(() =>
        {
            while (!onOrOff)
            {

            }
        });

        Debug.Log("Finished");
    }   
}

[candid gorge]

doesnt work 😦

[queen adder]

i basically just want a Fixed version of LateUpdate. I don't care about general execution order, i just want something to run after FixedUpdate

[swift crag]

that doesn't tell me what you're trying to accomplish

only how you've tried to solve your problem

what are you trying to make your game do?

[wintry quarry]

void Start() {
  DoAsyncThing();
}

private async Awaitable DoAsyncThing() {
  Debug.Log("Start");
  while (true) {
    if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Space)) break;
    await Awaitable.NextFrameAsync();
  }

  Debug.Log("Finish");
}```

[wary olive]

Would that not need to be in Update?

[wintry quarry]

Why would we want to introduce Update here?

[wary olive]

How is it gonna get when he puts a key down

[wintry quarry]

That's what cs while (true) { if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Space)) break; await Awaitable.NextFrameAsync(); } is for

[thorn holly]

so let me make sure I understand how await works - basically, the code runs until it reaches the await, which it says "ok, lets take a break and then keep going next frame", and then it keeps going the next frame?

[wintry quarry]

await Awaitable.NextFrameAsync(); says "come back to me next frame"

so yes

[wary olive]

Oh right but that would lock him into that function and loop with that script, would a Boolean as a check and having it in update not make more sense?

Depends what he is doing I guess

[wintry quarry]

No it wouldn't lock anything. We have await Awaitable.NextFrameAsync(); in the loop which waits one frame and lets the rest of the engine run

[candid gorge]

Ok, I've setup a simple cube and I think it's something to do with the player controller right

[thorn holly]

so say I awaited a function instead of Awaitable.NextFrameAsync(), what would that do?

in the same analogy thing

[wintry quarry]

You can only await a Task or Awaitable. It would wait until that thing is done

[swift crag]

ah, good idea !

[warm anvil]

Thanks @swift crag . Towards the end of the instructions, I had everything completed. Restarted both Unity and VS Code, opened my code but the Debug.Log statement was still a plain cyan color. I could hover over items such as Update() and tell it was referencing some Unity knowledge; however, when I removed the Debug.Log line and began to retype it, then and only then did it change color. Any idea why it was just oblivious? Thanks!

[swift crag]

Maybe your player controller is storing your velocity in local space or something

[thorn holly]

so if I awaited a task, it would not continue onto the next frame until that task is finished, allowing the rest of the async code to keep running, finish, and move onto the next frame?

[swift crag]

If it's not auto-completing things like Debug.Log for you, then it's not working right

[candid gorge]

I'm going to go through the script and see, but it 100% has something to do with that since I'm directly using velocities for the player movement

[swift crag]

quit VSCode, hit "Regenerate project files" in the External Tools window, and then double click a script asset to reopen VSCode

[wintry quarry]

nothing to do with frames. It wouldn't continue your code until that task is finished'

the rest of the code in the async function will not run

It runs in order top to bottom

[thorn holly]

so whats the point of awaiting a task if I can just use a function instead and then call the function? Wouldn't that have the same result?

[warm anvil]

When I open the script I'm not exactly doing a auto-complete - it's just displaying what's there. and yeah I did do the Regenerate project files as you said and it gave me the plain cyan.

When I retyped it, then it provided proper coloring. I can't say 100%, but I'm pretty sure, that a hover when it was cyan didn't illude to Unity information. This is what it looks like re-typed (normal)

[wintry quarry]

a regular, non async function will freeze Unity until it is complete

If the function is small/fast enough, then that's fine

[thorn holly]

I thought thats what you said the async with task would do, stop everything until the task is finished, and then continue the code

[wintry quarry]

if it's something you need to do over multiple frames, you need a coroutine or async

[wintry quarry]

it stops the async function that is awaiting it. It doesn't stop the whole game engine

synchronous (normal) functions stop the whole game engine

[thorn holly]

ah, so everything else continues, but the async function stops

[wintry quarry]

yes

[thorn holly]

so the async function is in its own little timeline thingy

[wintry quarry]

I suppose you can think of it that way

[thorn holly]

Async: into the awaitverse

[rich adder]

async can be become its own hell quick

use wisely 🙂

[thorn holly]

so then in that case, should've my original code worked? Shouldn't the task that I created just simply wait until onOrOff is true and then finish?

[spare umbra]

I want a smoother landing like in Cluster Truck. How can I implement it in Unity?

[rich adder]

never played it

you'd have to describe

[wintry quarry]

The task isn't goiong to do anything

you can't just new up a Task and await it

The task wasn't even Start()ed

also if you DID start that task it would freeze unity because it will run on the main thread

unless you ran it on a background thread

[candid gorge]

My problem is within these lines, I've tried disabling this function and the player falls normally, now I dont really know what is the problem tho.

There is a bunch of videos in the internet

It's very hard to describe it

You need to see

[swift crag]

it's that game where you jump from semitruck to semitruck

[spare umbra]

yeah

[swift crag]

and the trucks are all in various states of violent motion

[spare umbra]

Basicly I want the camera to continue going down when the player lands and smoothly go up to the right position

[wintry quarry]

Actually it might have worked if you started the task before awaiting it (because i think it will run on a different thread), but a spinloop like this is very inefficient. It will basically peg one of your CPUs at 100% until you press the key@thorn holly

[rich adder]

just put a small lerp / smoothing ping pong type thing.
its only slight VFX I dont see it often , only on high land

[thorn holly]

oh

[faint sluice]

Can also experiment with spring joints no?

[rich adder]

from video I saw is just a quick camera trick, idk if rigidbody would be overkill

[spare umbra]

Mathf.PingPong ?

[rich adder]

or like Dotween

[faint sluice]

Oh wait yeah I forgot about rigidbody lmao nevermind

[thorn holly]

So i know this is like the xy problem but this was very useful for me to understand async await. Now if I were making a selection process thing where some buttons appear, select one, buttons go out, new ones appear, select one, etc. Would the best way to do this be a coroutine so that all of this stuff can occur over multiple frames? Or how else would I go about this?

[rich adder]

https://youtu.be/VesKV9_yDUc?t=573
play at 0.25x speed. It only happens when you land from high jump

[naive lion]

    {
        float healSpeed = .3f;
        isHealing = true;

        if (health < maxHealth)
        {
            health = Mathf.Lerp(health, maxHealth, Time.deltaTime * healSpeed);
            ...
        }```
My lerp slows down at the end
is the issue with T not being between 1 and 0 or is it smth else

[rich adder]

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

[naive lion]

merci

[wintry quarry]

coroutines and async/await are solving the same problem. You can use either one. And the thing both of them are doing is actually just creating a lightweight state machine.

For a selection process like you described I feel like it might be better to just make a full fledged state machine.

[thorn holly]

to the google I go, to figure out what a state machine is

thank you

[wintry quarry]

might be formally called FSM or Finite State Machine too

Currently my IsGrounded() check is being strange, it is only true every once in a while even though I am on the ground.

[wintry quarry]

Without seeing your code all we can say is there's something wrong with your code.

[rich adder]

if you're using from CC one then it only works while moving usually

[elder osprey]

Sorry. Here is how I determine the IsGrounded() and the value of IsGrounded is what I'm printing to console.

[wintry quarry]

well there's your problem

have you read the docs for isGrounded?

[wintry quarry]

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/CharacterController-isGrounded.html
It basically checks if your most recent call to Move tried to push the CC into the ground or not

Long story short, most people write their own grounded checks because this one is not good.

[rich adder]

yeah def go for a checksphere/box, sphere/box cast or overlap

[warm anvil]

I'm afraid I don't have the knowledge/experience to cover the missing gap. I've tried several ways to try to make what I'm sure your logic works into my code.

If you're willing to help guide me once again, I've simplied my code into a new project. Let me know if you can assist. Thanks!

[rich adder]

I have an example here if you want to check it 🙂 @elder osprey https://youtu.be/cEQdjYk51KQ?t=491

[swift crag]

it's invalid because...

bool foo = true;
foo.WasPressedThisFrame;

foo is a boolean. it doesn't have a member named that

that's all

[warm anvil]

I'm pretty sure my error is where I need to put your statement before the part about bools

here's what I have layed out.

Input Controller script:

using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.InputSystem;

public class HumanoidLandInput : MonoBehaviour
{
    private InputActions _input;

    public bool BackpackActionIsPressed { get; private set; } = false;
    public bool BackpackActionIsReleased { get; private set; } = false;

    private void OnEnable()
    {
        _input = new InputActions();
        _input.HumanoidLand.Enable();

        _input.HumanoidLand.BackpackAction.started += SetBackpackAction;
        _input.HumanoidLand.BackpackAction.canceled += SetBackpackAction;
    }

    private void OnDisable()
    {
        _input.HumanoidLand.BackpackAction.started -= SetBackpackAction;
        _input.HumanoidLand.BackpackAction.canceled -= SetBackpackAction;

        _input.HumanoidLand.Disable();
    }

    private void SetBackpackAction(InputAction.CallbackContext context)
    {
        Debug.Log(context.phase);
        BackpackActionIsPressed = context.started;
        BackpackActionIsReleased = context.canceled;
    }
}

and here's basically the script on the player:

using UnityEngine;

public class Backpack : MonoBehaviour
{
    [SerializeField] private HumanoidLandInput _input;
    [SerializeField] private GameObject uiTest;

    [SerializeField] HumanoidLandInput backpackActionReference;
    public bool ToggleBackpack => _input.BackpackActionIsPressed.WasPressedThisFrame();

    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update()
    {
        if (_input.BackpackActionIsPressed)
        {
            Debug.Log("test");
            uiTest.gameObject.SetActive(true);
        }
        else
        {
            uiTest.gameObject.SetActive(false);
        }
    }
}

for now ignore the line on the 2nd script that reads:
public bool ToggleBackpack => _input.BackpackActionIsPressed.WasPressedThisFrame();

i know that's wrong

very sorry for the spoon-feeding

[wintry quarry]

BackpackActionIsPressed is a bool. Why are you trying to call WasPressedThisFrame on it?

[swift crag]

It may be easier to use events here. It'd look like this.

public class MyInput : MonoBehaviour {
  public event System.Action OnBackpackToggle;

  void HandleInput(InputAction.CallbackContext context) {
    OnBackpackToggle?.Invoke();
  }
  
  void OnEnable() {
    _input.HumanoidLand.BackpackAction.performed += HandleInput;
  }
  
  void OnDisable() {
    _input.HumanoidLand.BackpackAction.performed -= HandleInput;
  }
}

Anyone can now subscribe to OnBackpackToggle to have a method called when the action is performed.

[buoyant knot]

kind of, but nothing in contact state should depend on the character controller

[warm anvil]

again, keep in mind that the Update() on the player is enabling and disabling the uiTest gameobject as I'm pushing in the button

[swift crag]

Exactly like what you're doing with _input.HumanoidLand.BackpackAction

[buoyant knot]

if I were ro delete your character controller, ContactState should have nothing break

PlayerMovement depends on ContactState, not the other way around

[swift crag]

also, conceptually, it wouldn't be very useful if it just told you things that are currently true about the controller, after all

you already know all that stuff

[buoyant knot]

the whole point of having a separate contact state is for the contact state to have all the variables describing contact

[swift crag]

at this point I'd just use an InputActionReference to cut out the middleman

let me show a brief example from my game...

using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.InputSystem;

public class InGameMenu : MonoBehaviour
{
    public InputActionReference menuAction;

    void OnEnable()
    {
        menuAction.action.performed += ToggleMenu;
    }

    void OnDisable()
    {
        menuAction.action.performed -= ToggleMenu;
    }

    void ToggleMenu(InputAction.CallbackContext context)
    {
        if (MenuController.activeMenuController != null)
            MenuController.activeMenuController.Hide();
        else
            MainMenu.Instance.controller.Show();
    }
}

an InputActionReference allows you to reference an InputAction from an input action asset

it does not automatically enable the action, so you'd probably want to keep your existing code in HumanoidLandInput

I find these to be supremely useful -- I just hand out action references as needed

each "thing" you can do includes an input action reference, so I can set which action performs it

[rare basin]

what if you have different input schemes?

pc/playstation etc

[swift crag]

then you have multiple bindings for a single input action

not a problem at all

[rare basin]

not meaning different bindings

but the actual schemes

InputControlScheme

[vast saffron]

why does it not jump/fly up when i press spacebar?

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

public class BirdScript : MonoBehaviour
{
    public Rigidbody2D myRigidbody;
    public CircleCollider2D mycircleCollider;

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

    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update()
    {
        if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Space))
        {
            myRigidbody.velocity = Vector2.up * 10;
        }
    }
}

[rare basin]

then ig some kind of Dictionary would work

[swift crag]

those are completely invisible to me here

[warm anvil]

@swift crag I'll absorb and try - ty!

[swift crag]

I have Mouse + Keyboard and Gamepad control schemes

[rare basin]

Dictionary<PlatformEnum, InputActionAsset>

[swift crag]

but I don't care about them at all

they're all in one input action asset

I only care about those when I need to update the control hints I'm displaying

[rare basin]

if you're just making for PC then yea it'll work great ig

[swift crag]

I don't understand what you're talking about. You don't need multiple input action assets.

[wintry quarry]

Step 1 use Debug.Log to make sure your code is actually running as you expect

[rare basin]

im not talking about multiple input action assets

one input action asset, you can have multiple control schemes in it

[swift crag]

but then what is this...?

yes, I understand that. I have multiple control schemes.

[rare basin]

hold on let me open the project and screenshot it

[thorn holly]

Alright @wintry quarry I think I understand fsm's, so for my selection machine, I could have some states like ButtonGoingIn, ButtonBeingSelected, and ButtonGoingOut, and the I can just use transitions to switch between them, passing in different parameters for what buttons go in and what buttons go out as I go.

[short hazel]

I guess control schemes are more for input "parts" instead of platforms? Like one scheme for on foot actions, and another for when driving

[swift crag]

different bindings are associated with different control schemes

[swift crag]

these are input action maps

[thorn holly]

So in that specific case, it would be a very linear fsm, because everything just proceeds to the next step.

[gentle sandal]

hi guys i want to create a unity project that simulates human falling (tripping over,falling,slipping...) to simulate and extract data to feed it into an AI in order to help people with special needs or individiuals that have body problems (after accidents)

i want to ask if it is doable using Unity ?

[swift crag]

different input action maps can contain different input actions, which can have multiple input bindings

[stuck palm]

this code isnt running until i click a button on the Ui for some reason, then it just cuts to a differenet frame and idk why
RenderSettings.skybox.SetFloat(Rotation, Time.time * rotationSpeed);

[short hazel]

tf is an input scheme then

[vast saffron]

how do i enable it

[rare basin]

@swift crag imagine making a game for NintendoSwitch, where you have multiple usage mode (single joycon, double joycon) etc, and you have just one InputAsset (which is correct) but multiple schemes

[warm anvil]

@rare basin are you talking about this dropdown box? [All Control Schemes]

[swift crag]

a control scheme is a collection of input devices

[rare basin]

yes

[wintry quarry]

of course. Plenty of people have done this. Look into "active ragdoll"

[wintry quarry]

How do you enable what?

[swift crag]

okay, and?

[vast saffron]

debug.log where can i find it

[wintry quarry]

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

[rich adder]

Anything is possible with enough knowledge 🙂

[rare basin]

and you don't have input actions that are in scheme A in scheme B

that's why I was talking about the Dictionary

[potent garnet]

My onTriggerEnter method works, but for some reason my event doesn't invoke like it should once the OnTriggerEnter method is called

[swift crag]

control schemes do not have actions. are you talking about different action maps?

[gentle sandal]

thanks boss

[rare basin]

eh.. action maps have actions

[swift crag]

if some actions can't be performed by some devices, then that sounds like a design problem. input actions are supposed to be high-level ideas

[vast saffron]

alrigfht thanks

i fixed it

[rare basin]

action map in scheme A doesnt have actions that are in scheme's B action mpa

[swift crag]

let's talk about this in #🖱️┃input-system if you want to continue; we're cluttering the chat

[rich adder]

define what "behind " is
you could either shift Z pos or the Order In Layer

[rare basin]

well some actions can't be perfomred on some edge cases on nintendo switch, depending on the joycons connection

[wintry quarry]

wdym by "projects"? active ragdoll is a concept, not a project.

Does anyone know how I can make the Rigidbody Rotate based on input and go forward in that direction using this code?

[gentle sandal]

sorry i'm not very familiar with Unity, i'm just trying to have it run just to extract data (for tripping,slipping....)

[rich adder]

you could either split that in 2 peices or if you have the pivot at the feet for both you can do some math to determine which one should be infront

like if your Y pos is larger than the tomb Y pos then show Order in layer infront

I want to make a custom physics system. I want my PhysManager.PhysUpdate() method to execute after all scripts that mutate my PhysObject class instances are finished (in FixedUpdate).

[swift crag]

Ah, mimicking what Unity is doing: FixedUpdate, then the physics step

well, hmm, if you don't mind waiting until after Unity's own physics is done, you could use a coroutine with yield return new WaitForFixedUpdate();

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

You're missing some curly braces for that if statement?

[warm condor]

hey, im having a problem with clamping my velocity unsing the Vector2.ClampMagnitude. My problem here is that it also, I think, clamps my verticle velocty as well instead of just the horizontal velocity. What sould I do? Here is my code:

            rb.velocity = Vector2.ClampMagnitude(rb.velocity, maxRunningSpeed);
        }```

[swift crag]

consider splitting it into two floats that you clamp independently

then just stick them back together

[warm condor]

how do I do that?

do you mean in the if statement or when I am clamping the velocity?

[wintry quarry]

Vector2 velocity = rb.velocity;
velocity.x = Mathf.Clamp(velocity.x, -maxRunningSpeed, maxRunningSpeed);
rb.velocity = velocity;```

or in Unity 2023+

rb.velocityX = Mathf.Clamp(rb.velocityX, -maxRunningSpeed, maxRunningSpeed);```

[warm condor]

ohhh ok, btw what is the diffrence between Mathf and Math?

[wintry quarry]

Mathf is for floats

Math does most things with doubles

Mathf was created by Unity.
Math was created by Microsoft

Mathf basically recreates most things in Math but with float params and return values

[warm condor]

ah alr, thanks!

[potent garnet]

Ah that was a mistake. Even if I include the curly braces tho, the event still doesn't invoke.

[rich adder]

https://unity.huh.how/physics-messages

Does anyone know what could be causing this error on WebGL builds:

However, running the build on a local server works fine. What's even weirder, it worked once on itch.io, but after loading it subsequent times I get this error

I tried every compression format in the player settings, as well as every "enable exceptions" option

[queen adder]

this looks like what i was looking for, thanks 🙏

[meager sentinel]

Someone knows why this marks an error?

[wintry quarry]

Hold your mouse over it

Tldr it's incomplete

[meager sentinel]

wdym

[wintry quarry]

It needs at least one yield statement to be valid

for example yield break; or yield return null;

similar to how this is in error because there's no return statement:

int Example() {

}```

[mental flame]

Can I have an eventhandler for each enemy or is it better to not use events for many objects in a scene?

[meager sentinel]

Oh, i never knew that

Is there any way to make an IEnumerator go in loop

[modest dust]

same as you do any other loop

[meager sentinel]

Oh am dumb

i place it at the end right?

[modest dust]

IEnumerator Stuff()
{
  while(condition)
  {
    // Does stuff
    yield return null;
  }
}

[rich adder]

you should use the C# events

and you can have many events, doesn't matter

[stuck mango]

I want to create characters for my game, my idea for this is to make a "character" gameObject with "IdSelector" script attached to it. In IdSelector you will choose 1 id from the whole list, and it should automatically choose correct sprite, scripts and stats. How do i do that? I need to know how can i connect public float ID to the list in character selector.

[mental flame]

Im using C# events

[mental flame]

Ok great thanks

[rich adder]

then there is no problem 🙂

[potent garnet]

yea the log is printing

[rich adder]

where do you subscribe to event

[modest dust]

Just pass the ID from the player to the character selector and return all data needed.

[stuck mango]

How do i pass it and return the data? Im very new.

[modest dust]

By going through a C# course, if the thing you're asking about are functions and how to use them

[potent garnet]

These are the two classes that I subscribe to the event

[stuck mango]

I cant find any polish c# courses, and im too young to afford a paid one. Can you just tell me?

[rich adder]

put debug.log / breakpoints there to see if its hitting.
Also cleanup your events with -= in OnDestroy

[modest dust]

But generally you figure out how to get the reference to the character selector from within the player in a reasonable way, you call a method from the selector, let's say selector.GetData(myID); where the return value is some kind of struct/class containing the data

[rare basin]

that is a terrible idea to use Find methods

in general

and in your case especially

There should be a few free polish ones for sure if you look hard enough - and more than enough english courses. When it comes to programming you generally kinda need to know english because... most of the good materials are in english, unless you find a translation.

Actually, there's a Microsoft c# course available in polish. I don't know how good it is, but I suppose it can't be too horrible if it's coming from Microsoft.

[rare basin]

learn english first then

yes, but whats the problem with your script. Whats it doing now vs what it supposed to do

[stuck mango]

I know english a bit, but when i read docs they always use some very hard words that i dont understand

start with the basics

how do we check if another number equals another

there are c# courses pinned in this channel

also https://www.w3schools.com/cs/index.php

[signal bronze]

yeah i now, but im nervous because its the last thing i need to make for my game

[languid spire]

that is why google translate exists

[signal bronze]

xd

[modest dust]

Then start with something a bit easier than the docs, these may be a bit too confusing for absolute beginners. Heard that w3schools offers a nice free C# course. Also, same as with programming, research if you do not understand some words - translators and google as Xaxup mentioned.

[rich adder]

[modest dust]

Either way, try to go though all of it and make sure you understand everything presented there more or less. Basics are important and you're gonna need them at every step when programming in Unity, so there are no shortcuts.

[signal bronze]

i know a bit of it but not that much

[cosmic dagger]

There's no one line of code but a series of events you need to do:
Create a script to track the score
Update score text to a new value
Etc.

You'll need to look at some tutorials first since you don't have any pricked or errors we can help with. There are a lot of resources for Mario clones . . .

[scarlet skiff]

dont you just need to give a collider component to the wall and the player?

This generates a number between -0.5 and 1.5 . . .

[rich adder]

do you know how to keep tracking of items destroyed ? @signal bronze

adding an integer ?

[stuck mango]

i know basics, but from experience i know that courses dont help me that much. I have tried few ones, but i always forget what they say. I know that i can learn only from tutorials. Its way more difficult way but i can remember when i do so

[signal bronze]

i think i do yeah

[rare basin]

so you know, or you think you know?

Hi, I have a problem with boxcolliders, so basically I have a raycast based suspension, and the car center of mass isnt at the center, so when the car isnt moving, it slides back a bit, is it possible to automatically set it to the center?

[modest dust]

You only gotta have an "extra" +1 when it comes to integers (depending on the method implementation)

[signal bronze]

like this?

[rich adder]

yes

but you can just do inventario.Cantidad++

[signal bronze]

well, the thing i dont know how to do is play a sound after u get one and to change the scene after i get four

[rare basin]

we're doing circles

[rich adder]

so ? thats what we do , one problem at a time

[rare basin]

it's pointless helping you

kinda

[rich adder]

ezz

[signal bronze]

thanks my g, apreciate it

[rare basin]

you can't understand the provided help

Hey guys i was wondering if someone could help me witha rounding problem so im trying to make a flying sword for my game in unity2D and everything is working excpet when the word is flying i want it to come back it reaches its targetpoint before it reaches its maximum flight time before coming back automatically so i have this code. i know the issue is in the bottom if staement where we set the evctor directly to the target pos and since the target posis a float ik when we are usign move towards the sword will never make it exactly to the target and i know it will always be .1 off from the target so what can i do to round or check its close to the target?

 void Update()
    {
        TimeBtwnThrows -= Time.deltaTime;

        if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Mouse0))
        {
            if (TimeBtwnThrows <= 0 && transform.parent != null)
            {
                TargetPoint = Camera.main.ScreenToWorldPoint((Vector2)Input.mousePosition);
                transform.parent = null;
                IsFlying = true;
                
            }
        }
        
        if(IsFlying)
        {
            if(FlyTime < MaxFlyTime)
            {
                transform.position = Vector3.MoveTowards(transform.position, TargetPoint, FlySpeed * Time.deltaTime);
                FlyTime += Time.deltaTime;
            }
            else
            {
                if (FlyTime >= MaxFlyTime || transform.position == (Vector3)TargetPoint)
                {
                    
                    transform.position = Vector3.MoveTowards(transform.position, ObjHolder.position, FlySpeed * Time.deltaTime);
                }
            }

          
        }

[rich adder]

how to do is play a sound after u get one
turns into
"how to play sound in unity"

for example

[rare basin]

so now we are teaching people how to use google, right 😄

[rich adder]

well not many people know how to, this is #💻┃code-beginner so its acceptable

[modest dust]

Always try to put the things you learn into practice. It's easier to remember it then. Don't just read through it all at once - if you see something new then read till the topic about it ends and try it out by yourself, mess around with it a little - or even try and search for courses with some tasks to complete. Oh and I'm also Polish, so powodzenia.

[tropic agate]

If you did your game by using specific tutorials, you can basically ask ChatGPT „how to play a sound in unity”

[potent garnet]

Thank you, I will

[rare basin]

we should have #google-beginner channel

[rich adder]

bad advice

[rare basin]

dont

[potent garnet]

Yea I just realized it was

[rare basin]

please

[rich adder]

pre-K Coding

[nimble hinge]

What's going on here

[tropic agate]

It is bad, but he made his game with no c# knowledge

[rich adder]

copying tutorials , which is working code at least...mostly

[ivory bobcat]

The only concern would be when it doesn't work - no one will debug the AI's mistake. You'd better be able to catch it yourself.

[swift crag]

why are so many people bringing up the spam machine today?

[rich adder]

gpt is nonsense spam

[rare basin]

doesn't mean he should copy/paste now, but from chat-gpt instead of yt tutorials

[swift crag]

i feel like i'm seeing it every half hour

[nimble hinge]

Spam? haha

[rich adder]

people who get banned and come to troll 😂

[rare basin]

that's chatgpt

shit code, shit comments to every code output

[swift crag]

LLMs are machines engineered to produce enormous amounts of plausible looking spam

[nimble hinge]

well i hate chatgpt

its subjective

[swift crag]

and they're giving me a damn headache

[nimble hinge]

i dont want it to replace us

i want it to fail (its all subjective)

[stuck mango]

Its easy to say, but not that easy to follow. I were trying to learn unity from courses for 2 years, but did 0 progress. Its my 3rd year using unity, but now im learning with tutorials and i do much, much better

[rich adder]

wont happen

[tropic agate]

At least it works… sometimes, and basic things

[stuck mango]

Btw, can i DM u? Its way easier to ask for help in ur native language.

[nimble hinge]

Im against AI powered chips personally

[rare basin]

if you are learning for 2 years and there is 0 progress, then I'd say Unity is not for you then lol

how is that possible

[rich adder]

anyway but lets keep this channel Unity beginner coding questions,

this is like the 3rd time today we talking AI and its redudant lol

[signal bronze]

dont worry, ill do it by myself, looks like people is anoyed about other people asking for help in a discord chat that was made for that, have a greate day @rich adder ❤️

[modest dust]

As long as I'm free and I can answer within a reasonable time, then sure

[stuck mango]

Told u, that courses are not for me. Everything i learn falls out of my head immediately, but i like coding and like making games, thats why im not giving up. As i told u, if ur not going to help, then dont say anything

[stuck mango]

Oki

[cosmic dagger]

If you didn't learn after two years, you're doing smth wrong, and the discipline is not there . . .

[rich adder]

No worries, people want to help but, as long as you show you are willing to try yourself its no problem.
If you go into "pleezz write cude for me" then yeah people will get turned away

[tropic agate]

You should always try doing it by yourself, if you have a problem and really can’t figure it out, I think that it’s the time to ask here

[signal bronze]

Ik Ik, but ill try to do it for myself witout any help, thanks anyway

[rich adder]

thats because you dont practice enough what you just learned

so you will forget it quick

[rare basin]

chill out big man, just interesting that you can learn something for 2 years and dont learn anything lol, anyway cut the spam

[rich adder]

new information needs repetition for brain to retain

Hello, how to change this UI image width based on a variable?

float currentGreed = 0f;
float maxGreed = 100f;

[rare basin]

use fill image

and change the fillAmount

[rich adder]

the property on it that says fill amount

[stuck mango]

I am chilled out, but you dont help, u just say that i should give up or some other dumb "tips"

[rich adder]

if its a slider then its the theSlider.value

[rare basin]

i never said you should give up?

[stuck mango]

You said unity is not for me tho

[rare basin]

it isn't in my opinion

but i wish you luck

We help answers questions with issues and/or errors in your code. That implies you have code available to look at and debug. If you haven't started or know how to do a specific topic, that is when you look online for tutorials, forums, blogposts, or docs

We don't walk people through a step-by-step guide because those are already online . . .

[rich adder]

[rare basin]

and chat gpt kappa

[rich adder]

oh pls dont start

[modest dust]

Depends what he means by "learning". Honestly, my first year with Unity when I was younger, was just me blindly trying random tutorials and making random things. Technically I did something, but didn't learn much from that, lol. Only in the following years I began to actually learn properly. And he said he's young, so chill, young people don't think and learn in the same way adults do. He'll get there eventually if he commits to it.

[rare basin]

sure, never said he won't

[thorn holly]

My concept of learning is making a game, and then when I run into an issue or something I don’t know how to do, I get some help here, then do a bunch of research on the concepts that I learn

It works pretty well, I feel I’ve made decent progress

[tropic agate]

I think that is the problem when you are trying to learn Unity. You type in YouTube tutorials for „How to make character controller” and you copy out the entire code. But what you should do is understand how transforms work in Unity, and have much more abilities and be able to do way more things

[rich adder]

yeah but you can't know about something until you start using it

thats when you should question what the component is and what you can do with it

[nocturne violet]

why does this keep randomly popping up?

[cosmic dagger]

Unity editor issue. You can ignore . . .

[nocturne violet]

thank god

[swift crag]

If everything you learn "falls out of your head immediately", then I suspect you aren't approaching learning correctly

[stuck mango]

Probably, yes

[rich adder]

your layout is taking a quick shit

[slender nymph]

if it bothers you much and you aren't currently using any windows that use the shader graph, then close them (like the Animator) and it will stop for a while

[cosmic dagger]

Agreed. That's not learning . . .

[nocturne violet]

ohh ok

[swift crag]

if you just watch a course and think "ok I learned the course", you've probably missed most of the information

[rare basin]

agreed, there is literally NO WAY you learn something for 2 years and you don't even know the very basics

[swift crag]

You need to see how something works, then do it yourself -- first in a very paint-by-numbers way, then with more freedom

Unity Learn tutorials encourage that kind of thing

[rare basin]

imagine going to school for 2 years in maths class and you still dont know how to substract/add numbers together

[woven notch]

can anyone see why the walls wouldnt stop the player from moving, im using rigidbody velocity

[rich adder]

repetition of what you just learned is good way to engrain it in mind

[woven notch]

ive been trying to solve it for atleast an hour now

[slender nymph]

trigger colliders are not solid colliders

[woven notch]

even when i turn is trigger off for both player and wall it doesnt change anything

i still walk through the walls

[rare basin]

are you moving through modyfing transform.position?

[woven notch]

nah

[rare basin]

collision matrix configured properly?

[cosmic dagger]

When I started tutorials, I typed all the code and redid the tutorial solo to ensure I knew how. You should strive to understand each line or code before you move on

The problem is, it's a slow process, and people need instant gratification or results to feel like they are doing smth . . .

[scarlet skiff]

how do i know specifically what it means?... "uknown" and "this" are not giving me that many clues

[woven notch]

probably that because i have no clue about what a collision matrix is

[swift crag]

this means that Unity can no longer find the script asset

all it has is a numeric ID

but it can't find anything with that ID

[woven notch]

how do you change the collision matrix

[rare basin]

[woven notch]

alr

ty though

[scarlet skiff]

ye that game was paused this is what happened when i unpaused 😭

[cosmic dagger]

Did you recently change the name of a script? It means it cannot find the MonoBehaviour because it is missing . . .

[scarlet skiff]

thats the thing, i didnt change any names

[rich adder]

did you change anything on script and save while running game?

[cosmic dagger]

Did you change/edit the script while the game was paused?

[swift crag]

Unity's "hot reloading" can produce weird results

[scarlet skiff]

possible.. had to change the script a few times, i could have not paid attention and did this

where do i go from here

[rich adder]

clear them from console and move on?

[cosmic dagger]

As long as it doesn't appear when you start the game again, you are fine. Unexpected results from reloading (as Fen pointed out) . . .

[rich adder]

you asked this earlier and got both times a yes answer

anything is Doable in unity with enough knowledge and patience

feed it into an AI
is very broad too, feed wat data?

[scarlet skiff]

alr ty

[cosmic dagger]

I don't see why not, you just need the data which isn't Unity specific . . .

[gentle sandal]

i got the AI part (i just need data and a projectt to simulate), can i reach out to you by DMs to possibly hire you?

[woven notch]

from the things i can see the matrix is only on physics 3d

Physics2D exists you know

[rare basin]

not true

[woven notch]

but inside physics 2d there isnt the matrix

i cant see it

[rich adder]

yes there is

[languid spire]

Are you seriously suggesting you want to train an AI on physics simulation data and use that as input to humans?

[rare basin]

there certainly is

[cosmic dagger]

The matrix is everywhere . . .

[gentle sandal]

not exactly i will have my university professor with the help of a few doctors evaluate and imrpove it that's why i need someone that knows Unity

[languid spire]

aint never gonna work

[gentle sandal]

why? is it because there's not enough randomness factors?

[languid spire]

no because there is just not enough data, you need a serious MoCap setup at the least for that kind of data fidelity

[rare basin]

did you really want to simulate injured people movement by ragdoll in unity?

[gentle sandal]

i think that i didn't explain it more clearly its way easier

[languid spire]

your model will be crap, believe me

[rare basin]

okay i got scared lol 😄

[gentle sandal]

we have to do it and improve it even if it takes 10 years because its better than experimenting on yourself or collecting data from real subjects

[languid spire]

not gonna happen. have you ever trained even a simple ML model?

[gentle sandal]

yes

why?

[rare basin]

then it definitelly will be crap

no offense but this is such advanced topic

[languid spire]

then you should know how much accurate data it needs to train. There is no way Unity can provide you with that for your purposes

[gentle sandal]

can i hire you to help on it?

[rare basin]

no lol

[gentle sandal]

why?

[rare basin]

those big-scoped projects usually have insanely big budget

and entire team working on it

[rich adder]

budget 5$

[rare basin]

250$/hour and im all yours

dropping irl job

[signal bronze]

@rich adder this is what i got, ive changed some things but nothing happens when i get 4, so yeah, ill need help at the end

[languid spire]

Do you have a budget of at least 20 million USD?

[gentle sandal]

20 million rupees?

[languid spire]

no USD

[rare basin]

you are not calling CambiarEscena anywhere

[languid spire]

dream on then get real

[rare basin]

also wouldnt that cause stack overflow?

[slender nymph]

you need to get your !IDE configured

[rich adder]

when do you. call CambiarEscena?

[rare basin]

pretty sure that will cause stackoverflow tho anyway?

[rich adder]

Oh didnt even see that

[polar acorn]

I don't even know what this magical project is because you keep deleting posts but from context you are likely in way over your head

[rich adder]

dont think so

it will switch scene and hit if statement there at most with 0

[slender nymph]

probably just cause infinite recursion and lock up the thread, i don't think the stack would actually grow there

[rare basin]

hm, true

would that cause unity to freeze?

[slender nymph]

scene wouldn't load because that happens on next frame

[rich adder]

Ahh yes

this will bork

[rare basin]

also coding in english will make more sense, especially when you want to share the code/ask for help in english server

[rich adder]

btw you should make a method on Inventario
like DestroyedObject() { Cantidad++; If(Cantidad == 4){ //ChangeScene } }

then do == inside that method, instead of manually setting the number variable for counting

[frigid sequoia]

Is there any difference between vector3.distance and vector3.magnitude?

[polar acorn]

Well, one of them is a distance, and one of them is the magnitude

so yes

They have nothing to do with each other

[frigid sequoia]

Isn't distance a magnitude?

[rare basin]

no

[slender nymph]

Vector3.Distance(a, b) is the same as (b - a).magnitude though

[polar acorn]

no

[rare basin]

magnitude is length of the vector
distance is well... distance between a and b

[frosty hound]

One is a function to get the distance between two points. The other gives you the length of an existing Vector.

[slender nymph]

oh hey, that's actually pretty much exactly what the docs say
https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Vector3.Distance.html

Vector3.Distance(a,b) is the same as (a-b).magnitude

[rich adder]

imagine that

[frigid sequoia]

I still don't see how the distance from A to B is different than the length of the path between A and B

[frosty hound]

They're the same value, they're different concepts.

If you create a vector between two points, the magnitude of that vector will be the same value as the distance between them.

[potent echo]

Hey, anyone know how to instantiate an prefab object and set it as a child object (of whatever object the script is in)?

[gloomy ice]

thank youuu

[rare basin]

that is such a google qusestion

you could google instead of asking here 😄

[half patrol]

hello fellas. beginner here. I run to this weird issue. i made a simple jump like in a code below. Issue is that if i press jump fast enough it double jumps! why is that?

`private void PlayerJump()
{
if (Input.GetButtonDown(JUMP_ANIMATION) && isGrounded)
{
isGrounded = false;

        animator.SetTrigger("TakeOff");

        playerBody.AddForce(new Vector2(0f, jumpForce), ForceMode2D.Impulse);
    }
}`

[rare basin]

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Object.Instantiate.html

[swift crag]

you can indeed do that all in one step. consult https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Object.Instantiate.html

[potent echo]

Oh sick, thanks

[rich adder]

your grounded is probably wrong

[swift crag]

perhaps isGrounded gets reset immediately

I don't know how you're deciding if you're grounded.

[half patrol]

private void OnCollisionEnter2D(Collision2D collision)
    {
        if (collision.gameObject.CompareTag("Ground"))

I would suggest logging when you set isGrounded to true

that'll show you exactly when it happens

also log when you jump so you can see the ordering

[rich adder]

very unreliable way to check grounded

[half patrol]

what's more reliable?

[potent echo]

omg it worked, tysm

[rich adder]

OverlapCircle, checkBox/Circle, boxcast etc

[half patrol]

are those methods? sorry new to gamedev 😄

[rich adder]

Indeed, they are part of the Physics2D class

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Physics2D.html

[half patrol]

thank you sir/mam

[rich adder]

quick example

private bool IsGrounded()
{
    Collider2D groundedCol = Physics2D.OverlapBox(groundedCheckCenter.position, groundedBox.size, 0, groundedLayers);
    return groundedCol != null;
}```

[swift crag]

note that this could, itself, let you jump many times if you mash quickly

until you get far enough off the ground, this will say that you're grounded

this let you jump to the moon in Doom Eternal

[candid gorge]

Is there a way to prevent rigidbodies from irregular jumping? I've managed to do it directly tweaking the velocities instead of adding forces but I can't manage to make it local to the player transform so it doesnt really work for me. This is what I have right now

[rich adder]

weird, works fine on mine

Ah I think I see what you mean

[swift crag]

I don't know what "irregular jumping" means

[vale karma]

What am I missing here to create movement?

using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.InputSystem;

public class PlayerScript : MonoBehaviour
{

    //this field with contain the actions wrapper instance
    PlayerControls actions;

    void Awake()
    {
        // instantiate the actions wrapper class
        actions = new PlayerControls();


    }

    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update()
    {
        // the update loop polls the "move" action value each frame
        Vector2 moveVector = actions.Player.Move.ReadValue<Vector2>();
    }

    void OnEnable()
    {
        actions.Player.Enable();
    }

    void OnDisable()
    {
        actions.Player.Disable();
    }
}

[swift crag]

well, you don't actually do anything with moveVector...

[rare basin]

actually moving?

[swift crag]

you compute it and then throw it out

[vale karma]

lol okay, i had movement going for a while and didnt understand what I copied, so Im going thru Unity documentation to learn exactly how its done

[candid gorge]

This is what I mean, when I spam the spacebar it doesnt always jump the same amount

ok ill try

[signal bronze]

now i have this, but it doesnt work @rich adder

[rare basin]

because you are not calling DestroyObject() anywhere

also as already menitoned

this will cause your Unity to freeze

[signal bronze]

why?

it should load the scene named as Victory

[rare basin]

infinite calling

[signal bronze]

and how can i make it to be finite

[rare basin]

it loads scene called Victoria then triggers a function that is calling a scene called Victoria then triggers a function that is calling a scene called Victoriathen triggers a function that is calling a scene called Victoria

infnite amount of times

[north kiln]

that function is an infinite loop, but good thing is you also never call that function from the outside, so it does absolutely nothing either

[signal bronze]

ok i understand

would it work like this?

[north kiln]

Yes, though you have to question why you've made a function at all if it's only one line long and it's local
Also, because you've put it inside another function you cannot use access modifiers (ie. public)

[signal bronze]

so only void?

and

[rare basin]

you lack basic c# knowledge

[signal bronze]

how can i make that when i got the 4 items it changes scenes?

[rare basin]

if(got 4 items)
{
ChangeScene();
}

[signal bronze]

like, what should i change here

[rare basin]

call the function you made

and you just made a local function

[summer stump]

Just have the LoadScene line by itself and remove EscenaVictoria completely

[rare basin]

that's not the desired behaviour i guess

you made a void inside a void

[signal bronze]

like this i supose

[rare basin]

yes finally

now call that function you made

also are you increasing Cantidad whatever it is anywhere?

[slender nymph]

DestroyObject is never being called too

[rare basin]

perhaps you wanted to use OnDestroy unity method?

[signal bronze]

i do not understan what being called is, it does not mean the same in spanish and i dont get it at all

srry for my low english lvl

[rare basin]

as i said 2 hours ago

you cannot get help

because you lack very basic c# knowledge

[slender nymph]

the method is not invoked

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/methods#method-invocation
set the language on this page to your native language

[signal bronze]

is this correct? I dont think so

[slender nymph]

i have no idea what your intention is with this code so i have no idea if that is going to do what you want

[rare basin]

that will cause to load the scene multiple times

[slender nymph]

it shouldn't. it will call LoadScene then the next frame will load the scene

[rare basin]

ow didn't know that

i thought its loading scenes asynchronusly

so if the scene is kinda big it would take some time

[rich adder]

nothing like i wrote either

nowhere did I put Update() there xD

[signal bronze]

this

[rich adder]

try it.
and did you remove the ones from the other script ?

[signal bronze]

i think im having a stroke between understanding the english + trying to do this

[signal bronze]

what ones? dont remember

[rich adder]

where you are doing +1 from other script

you should only be calling this method OnTrigger

[signal bronze]

no

[meager steeple]

i copied a youtube tutorial for a resolution dropdown which should display resolutions only with the refresh rate the monitor is set at. but it doesnt work for some reason

[rich adder]

nested function

also my eyes are bleeding

"it doesn't work for some reason" idk maybe look at the Red Underline Error

[meager steeple]

yeah it says its not valid for this item but i dont know why and how

[rich adder]

you cannot have an accessor like public when you declare a function inside a function as it only lives in that scope

[signal bronze]

it changes the scene, but not after getting the 4 items, it changes it instantly after runing the game

[rich adder]

I'm sure you didn't mean to nest that inside of Start() though

[meager steeple]

ahhhh

thank you

[signal bronze]

what do I need to change now

[rich adder]

did you remove Update()

that is called every frame, why did you put it there..

[rare basin]

i really admire you

helping him since 2 hours 😄

[cosmic dagger]

You created a local (nested) function inside of another unintentionally . . .

[signal bronze]

i forgor

[rich adder]

I've taught my ex wife how to drive, it could be worse

[rare basin]

lmao

[signal bronze]

Im srry, language barrier + im dumb asf

My family reminds that to all the time

xd

[signal bronze]

Ik im dumb, but now i need to call the function and it should work?

[rich adder]

first needs to be public for you to call from another script, replace the ones where you did inventario.Cantidad ++ in that other script to inventario.DestroyObject() although I suggested Destroyed makes more sense but I understand language barrier 😛

[signal bronze]

here?

[rich adder]

yup

wtf why

its a method, we don't assign method

[signal bronze]

for me its a name, ik what destroyed means but idc

[north kiln]

It really seems like you should follow some tutorials before doing all this on your own

[signal bronze]

ik srry for disturbing

[rare basin]

it's kinda pointelss

we've been telling him to do that

since 2 hours now

im losing hope 😄

unless someone writes the code for him

[signal bronze]

sorry

[rare basin]

don't be sorry - learn

you could go through entire C# begginer course

[rich adder]

they just need the basics but they kinda getting it, at least they know comm between two scripts

sorta

[rare basin]

by the time you are here asking for help

[rich adder]

but yeah you need the C# basics

[signal bronze]

dont have time, im 18 im in "Bachiller", in spain is like the last grade before univesity, i only have time on weekends and with luck, this next week i have 6 exams

[rich adder]

ohh thats not what we want to here then

[signal bronze]

I would love to spend 10 hours a day in this but its impossible to me

[rare basin]

you literally wasted 2 hours in the discord asking for help

you could spent that 2 hours for learning

no?

[rich adder]

"I dont have time" is not an excuse for not learning

Im doing this shite ontop of 2 fulltime jobs mate

[signal bronze]

i wanna learn but i need to sleep too

[rich adder]

it comes off lazy if you say I have no time

[rare basin]

@signal bronze

[signal bronze]

I have a very bad organization

[candid gorge]

its not that hard

[signal bronze]

not a great student, its hard for me

[rich adder]

takes an 1 hour a day even it makes a huge difference

[signal bronze]

ill try

[rare basin]

don't look for excuses

constantly

look for solutions

[signal bronze]

ik

[rare basin]

commit, do the job

instead of constantly complaining

[rich adder]

ofc if you're not passionate enough about something you wont be eager to learn anyway

[signal bronze]

dont know what eager means

[rich adder]

like excited

[signal bronze]

ah okay

ill try to tak 1 hour every day to learn C#

Idk if ill be able to but ill try

Im srry for disturbing, have a great day and thanks for the help

[vale karma]

which method of movement is best for a realistic environment, kind of like gta style of walking around?

[rare basin]

physics based

if you want realistic movement type

and proper collision handling

[vale karma]

can i use a character controller with a player input action thing?

sorry im not too good at this yet

[wintry quarry]

Of course. Input handling and how you move the character are totally separate things

[vale karma]

so does movement work without the Input manager thing if i just use the character controller? im confused

[stuck mango]

Why wont this work?
Script 1:

    public int health;

Script 2:

   public TextMeshProUGUI HPCOUNT;
   HPCOUNT.text = Toy.health.ToString();

Two scripts are connected already because first i a scriptable object and the second has a reference to it at the start of my code

[vale karma]

i just read up alot on unity about the new input system, and i wanna do it with a player input component and input action asset

[frosty hound]

How are you referencing Toy?

[vale karma]

but then i coded pretty much the same thing from unity, but of course it doesnt include movement

[cosmic dagger]

Do you have an error? How do you reference the SO? Or is the text just not updating?

[stuck mango]

Oh. Nvm, thank you. I missclicked and changed the class

[paper plaza]

what the hell?

[signal bronze]

ik dont say nun abt it, im dumb asf

i already said srry

[paper plaza]

don't worry, we are all here to learn

[rare basin]

you shouldn't have health in scriptable object (unless its maxHealth)

changing data in scriptable objects during runtime is not a good idea

[signal bronze]

i know, still srry for all of u trying to help me, gn

[rare basin]

unless you know what you are doing

[stuck mango]

Thank you, ill change it to maxHealth

[rare basin]

keep your health in HealthSystem class or something

only keep data that doesnt change in scriptable objects

or initial values

[paper plaza]

is there a way to bake navigation path for the ai on this mesh?

i don't know what to do

[solemn summit]

Look into nav meshes and pathfinding. Lots of ways to tackle it.

[paper plaza]

that's what im trying to do but when i click the "bake" button it does nothing @solemn summit

[cosmic dagger]

Your SO should have default/base values that your classes copy or pull from . . .

[nocturne violet]

            for (int i = 0; i < data.In_office.Length; i++)
            {
                if (data.In_office[i] == false)
                {
                    scary.Stop();
                    break;
                }
            }

does anybody know how to fix this? even when one of the arrays are true, it will stay stop

[solemn summit]

It would only not say Stop if the first entry in the array was true. It works through them all in order

[nocturne violet]

oh, how do i make it where it will check everything though?

[solemn summit]

Like you want to check through all data.In_offices and if ONE of them is false do scary.Stop()?

[nocturne violet]

im trying to make it where it checks if all the arrays are false

and if one is not, it will not stop

[cosmic dagger]

You want to check all of them regardless if any are false?

[nocturne violet]

yes

[eternal needle]

Instead, check if any are true. If any are true, then not all of them are false

[cosmic dagger]

Oh, just check if any are true and break . . .

[nocturne violet]

oh

ill try that, thank you

and then after that ill make an else statement

[eternal needle]

You dont need an else statement. That else will still be checking if any one element is false

[signal bronze]

Hi, just wanna tell u that i actually made it work, thanks for the help bro, fr thanks @rich adder ❤️

[nocturne violet]

but im trying to make the audio stop if all of them are false

[eternal needle]

Yes, an else statement is gonna be the same issue you had before. Do you know what else does?

[nocturne violet]

yes it will do something different when the opposite thing happens

[eternal needle]

Else is for doing logic when the above conditions are not met. If you check for true, and then add an else statement you are just checking for false.

False in 1 element

[nocturne violet]

oh'

[gentle sandal]

anybody can recommend an existing ragdoll project for simulating human movement?

[eternal needle]

Simulating human movement like for a game ragdolling or for an actual real life simulation?

[rich adder]

No problem!
glad to hear is working:)

[gentle sandal]

both anything available since i haven't decided yet

[ripe shard]

what do you even mean by simulating human movement?

ragdolls on their own dont simulate any kind of "realistic" movement, just constraints on joints

[solemn summit]

Like goofy active ragdoll? Ragdolling when dead/hit? Gotta have some specifics

[gentle sandal]

i guess ragdolling then

[gentle sandal]

no a bit more realistic

[solemn summit]

To what end, though? What' the goal?
