What is the use case?

[ripe shard]

how about you share what you actually need instead of us interviewing you for fragments of info

[gentle sandal]

i need a project to simulate how a ragdoll falls

thats it

[solemn summit]

There are a lot of tutorials on how to add a ragdoll to a character on youtube

[ashen wind]

I need help with a 2D collider bug i'm running into. I have a weapon that's supposed to go back and forth between a goblin and its target dwarf, and it checks onCollisionEnter2D to know when to go back to the goblin

the problem is that it uses movetowards to go towards the dwarf

and so if it gets to the center of the dwarf, sometimes the collision doesn't register and it just stays there

and if I go into the editor and manually move it out of the hitbox it works fine again

but it seems like if it's already inside the hitbox it won't register the collision

I don't get it

[gentle sandal]

can you please link an easy one

[ashen wind]

both the dwarf and the weapon have rigidbodies with continuous collision detection

[solemn summit]

Most are easy for basic ragdolls. Literally just search "Unity ragdoll" and there will be plenty of ones that walk through all the steps.

[vale karma]

why is my character falling through the map? i know im missing something.. i have a character controller and rigidbody, do i still need a capsule collider?

[solemn summit]

yes

[eternal needle]

Real life simulation isnt even possible to suggest, last i checked there are none that really try to even do this. This is a very advanced topic that engineers still struggle with. For a simple ragdoll in a game, there is the ragdoll wizard. Some simple tutorials are easy to find on google, you just use configurable joints and set the rotation constraints. use the hips as the center of mass where you would add force/set velocity

[vale karma]

okay, i added it back. how is the character controller used with the new input system? i cant find out what to look for

[gentle sandal]

thanks for telling me

[wintry quarry]

You shouldn't be mixing Rigidbody and CharacterController. Pick one

[vale karma]

okay, ill try character controller? idk which is better for this situation, or easier to code

[wintry quarry]

Input system is for gathering input. CharacterController moves with the Move function

[ripe shard]

both are hard

[gentle sandal]

@wintry quarry please check your DMs

[vale karma]

oh god, ive already done like 2 hours of reading in unity trying to understand the input system and some other things

[solemn summit]

The new input system was certainly an undertaking. Maybe try some youtube tutorials on it

[eternal needle]

responding to your deleted message. if you are too lazy to even google how to setup a ragdoll then you 100% arent gonna do anything past opening the project. People in here arent gonna waste their time, just start doing it yourself.

[ashen wind]

does anyone have any idea why 2d collision just doesn't happen sometimes?

[vale karma]

i got the input system working, and reading values, it all works correctly, but now im not sure how i should move my character

[ashen wind]

is it related to my use of movetowards()?

[ivory bobcat]

Depends on context.

[ashen wind]

this is the context

[vale karma]

i just found out about the character controller, and copied code and it worked but i wanted to understand it, so i restarted, but now im stuck on movement after reading input

[ivory bobcat]

If you're moving with the Transform component, it would be teleporting and not moving with physics.

[vale karma]

i have my input system reading Move (callback context) as my OnMove function, but how do i use the character controller to move it?

[ashen wind]

then why would it work fine most of the time?

[ivory bobcat]

Undefine behavior relative to the physics system.
It'd try to displace overlapping solid colliders.

[ashen wind]

ok, so I should use rigidbody.movePosition instead?

[solemn summit]

Are you moving it in FixedUpdate? Is the object moving super fast? There's many a things it could be

[ivory bobcat]

Rigidbody forces or manipulating velocity where the physics system would handle movement.

Or kinematic and do a bunch of stuff yourself.

[ashen wind]

wait is that a no

cause doesn't moveposition manipulate velocity?

or do you think it'll cause the exact same problem

[ivory bobcat]

Only if it's not applicable:

Moves the kinematic Rigidbody towards position.
https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Rigidbody.MovePosition.html
A yes and no answer wasn't well suited for the question.

[solemn summit]

Moveposition is generally for kinematic rigidbodies.

Which in this case might be exactly what you want, if it isn't already set to that

[ashen wind]

kinematic is for when you don't want physics effects like gravity, momentum, and drag, right?

[solemn summit]

Yeah

[ashen wind]

cause that is what I want then

thanks

[solemn summit]

Also, physics based movement should be in FixedUpdate, not Update

[ashen wind]

gotcha

hmm, turning the rigidbody to kinematic disabled collision. do I have to switch everything to trigger?

[cosmic dagger]

You use the values passed to the OnMove method from the input system to move your object

You need to decide how you're going to move your object: rigidbody force, rigidbody velocity, character controller, etc., then look at tutorials for that movement . . .

[vale karma]

okay, ill look into character controller, i tried some code i found and kind of understood and it threw some codes. so at least now i have a direction. thankyou

[snow depot]

I'm trying to get my projectiles to delete themselves when they collide with the environment but it doesn't seem to be working.

[north kiln]

See the Physics Messages troubleshooting steps that are pinned to this channel

[snow depot]

Thank you sir

[steep shadow]

Sorry i dont really know if this makes sense or is just jibberish but can anyone tell me how I can inherit data from an abstract scriptable object to another scriptable object while also having an abstract class using the data from the abstract scriptable object?
I mean something like:
abstract class Item : ScriptableObject and then class Weapon : Item while using the data from the abstract class Item in the abstract class ItemObject:MonoBehaviour ?

[ivory bobcat]

What's the exact issue?
Not being able to use the inspector to reference? Pretty sure interfaces and abstract classes are not serialized in the Unity Editor.

[frigid sequoia]

This should use a normal Lerp, or a Angle one?

I want to lerp the lookAt value, just to be clear

[timber tide]

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Quaternion.RotateTowards.html

could probably use that instead

ah. may need to use lookrotation with it

right, I think you'd use lookrotation to get a rotation with the forward direction

[vale karma]

woohoo i did it, and i know what i did too! lol good feeling

[frank needle]

Can anyone here point me in the right direction for 2D procedural generated maps?

[frigid sequoia]

Like this???

[frank needle]

Im working on a 2D rogue like game and im trying to generate random maps using pre-exsiting prefabs

[timber tide]

step is in degrees per second

[frigid sequoia]

This is going in Update, it is meant to correct slightly the trayectory of proyectile to do sorta of an autoaim

I am using it right?

[timber tide]

you'd want to use deltatime

[frigid sequoia]

Not sure that's needed, I don't it to rotate instantly towards the direction, I want it to correct the direction sligthly each frame

Using deltaTime wouldn't make the Lerp almost instant?

[timber tide]

it's a speed and usually any speed you'd going to be normalizing

[frigid sequoia]

But like, if I am not wrong, if this is in Update, only the first frame of the transition would be called, and the it will set its rotation to the start of a new one once it is called, moving a bit closer to the target each frame but never truly doing perfect aim

I am rigth about that?

[cosmic dagger]

Any class derived from Item will have its fields, if accessible. You need to reference a Weapon SO by dragging it in a variable slot from the ItemObject class . . .

[timber tide]

it rotates at a speed, if you don't do it by deltatime then it's going to be instant

[frigid sequoia]

Also, now that I am at it

My proyectile is basically a fancy cilynder rotated 90 degrees on the X, can I like, make that transform its new default and make those 90 degrees 0 or do I have to use a Empty for that?

[timber tide]

if you have a prefab with rotational values, I'd use a empty to wrap it

[frigid sequoia]

I kinda want to avoid using much parenting cause it affects perfomance and things like proyectiles are intended to be kinda numerous u know?

But if there is no other way....

[spark ravine]

private void Shoot()
{
    readyToShoot = false;
    GameObject bullet = Instantiate(bulletPrefab, shootingPoint.position, Quaternion.identity);
    bullet.GetComponent<BulletScript>().SetStats(statsScript.damage);
    bullet.transform.right = transform.right;
    Debug.Log("LOL");
    Invoke("ResetShootingCD", shootingCD);
    Debug.Log("Wtf");
}

void ResetShootingCD()
{
    Debug.Log("Reset");
    readyToShoot = true;
}

Lol WTF why does this not work?
When it spawns in it shoots once and then it stops and when I set readyToShoot to true once manually it goes on working normally

[timber tide]

I wouldn't worry about parenting. Deal with performance issues when you get them

[solemn summit]

I parent and reparent things with reckless abandon 👌

[rocky canyon]

I have an offtopic question when I seen this video, since I've watched it its been bugging me trying to figure out how that sphere on the ground works.
at first i thought it was a raycast, but its not centered so i thought it could be a raycast thats just offset from the center of the camera but then I noticed that it sticks to the edge when you walk towards it.. I've been racking my brain and I just don't know.. LOL could you explain how that is functioning soo my brain can stop trying to figure it out

[slender sinew]

wouldnt usually recommend using Invoke, but as for your question, depends on what shootingCD is set to, and what the code is doing that calls these methods

[rocky canyon]

fun fact, you can instantiate the bullet as a BulletScript and that way u dont need to use a GetComponent after you instantiate it

bullet.SetStats();```

[vale karma]

is there a utube vid about using the new input system to look around in a 3d scene? alot that im finding use the old input system

[rocky canyon]

like a fly-cam?

or a first person

[vale karma]

first person

[rocky canyon]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tXDgSGOEatk&ab_channel=PracticalProgramming

[vale karma]

i want to use my mouse to look around in a scene, but also be able to use a controller etc

[rocky canyon]

[vale karma]

ty 😄

[rocky canyon]

https://melvinbengtsen10.itch.io/fps-controller-for-unity

[polar acorn]

Is this object ever disabled or destroyed? That will cancel any pending invokes. Also instead of logging random words, try logging useful variables like shootingCD or readyToShoot

[devout nimbus]

Hey, I am a pretty new coder with little experience. I was hoping for someone to point me in the direction to have a player stick with a moving platform, while having their full range of motion. I have tried many attempts, mostly with making the player a child of the moving platform, but to no avail. Below are the tutorials I used. Thank you for any input you could give, it would be appreciated.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f473C43s8nE

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dWtjKKR7Q3s

[rocky canyon]

moving platforms are usuallly a pain to figure out
https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/physics/kinematic-character-controller-99131

maybe check out this asset, and see how it handles it.. (kinematic rigidbodies imo, handle moving platforms the best)

[devout nimbus]

Thanks for the input, although im trying to stay away form asset packs, cuz its a competition

Although I will look at it

[rocky canyon]

you know u can study other assets right?

[devout nimbus]

yeah yeah

just gotta be careful

[rocky canyon]

just look at how they did it.. maybe theres something in there that can help.. like i said, its usually difficult to get to work correctly anyway.. you'll just have to tinker and trying out things until something fits ur needs

[devout nimbus]

yeah

This is way beyond me, I really don't understand it

[rocky canyon]

well, as a beginner ur best solution is going to be to use a CC and parent it.. or use a Rigidbody controller

[teal viper]

Moving with a platform is typically done by applying the platform movement to the character in addition to any movement the character has itself.

The details depend on your character controller implementation.

[rocky canyon]

^ that too.. u can use a collision trigger or ground check (raycast) to know ur standing on it.. and then add the velocity of the platform to the vector you use to move the player

on top of the input ur already giving it..

[proven mirage]

hey guys i had a quick question to ask and was wndering if you guys could help

wanted to make slime enemy that jumps towards ours castle which is the grey box as seen in this picture and i know how do points to jump at. i was just wondering how would i code it to go in the castles direction?ike towrds the castle?
but in jump opoints?
like what math would i do to go towards the castle but create jumpoints to head their in the direction of the castle?

public class SlimeEnemy : MonoBehaviour
{
    public int Damage;
    public bool IsPlayerAttacker;
    public bool IsCastleAttacker;
    GameObject Target;
    public Vector2 TargetJumpPoint;
    public float JumpSpeed;
    public float TimeBtwnJumps;
    public float MaxTimeBtwnJumps;
    float randX;
    float randY;
    public float MinrandX;
    public float MinrandY;
    public float MaxrandX;
    public float MaxrandY;
    void Start()
    {
        if (IsCastleAttacker)
        {
            Target = GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag("Castle");
        }

        if (IsPlayerAttacker)
        {
            Target = GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag("Player");
        }
    }

    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update()
    {
        
        TimeBtwnJumps -= Time.deltaTime;
        if(TimeBtwnJumps <= 0f)
        {
            Jump();
            TimeBtwnJumps = MaxTimeBtwnJumps;
        }

        transform.position = Vector3.MoveTowards(transform.position, TargetJumpPoint, JumpSpeed * Time.deltaTime);
    }

    void Jump()
    {
        randX = Random.Range(MinrandX, MaxrandX);
        randY = Random.Range(MinrandY, MaxrandY);
        TargetJumpPoint = new Vector2(transform.position.x + randX, transform.position.y + randY);
    }

     
}```
 heres code
also one other thingi  wanted to ask you was lets say i wanted multiple types of slime eneimes but with diffrent behavoir would you reccomend putting it all in 1 scruipt or have diffrent scripts for each type?

[devout nimbus]

I had ChatGPT write this, any reason why it wouldn't work?

using UnityEngine;

public class MovingPlatform : MonoBehaviour
{
    public Vector3 moveDirection = Vector3.right;  // Change this to the desired movement direction
    public float moveSpeed = 5f;

    private void Update()
    {
        MovePlatform();
    }

    private void MovePlatform()
    {
        transform.Translate(moveDirection * moveSpeed * Time.deltaTime);
    }

    private void OnCollisionEnter(Collision collision)
    {
        if (collision.gameObject.CompareTag("Player"))
        {
            // Apply the platform's velocity to the player
            Rigidbody playerRb = collision.gameObject.GetComponent<Rigidbody>();
            if (playerRb != null)
            {
                playerRb.velocity = moveDirection * moveSpeed;
            }
        }
    }

    private void OnCollisionExit(Collision collision)
    {
        if (collision.gameObject.CompareTag("Player"))
        {
            // You can add additional logic here if needed
        }
    }
}

[rich adder]

yes, cause GPT wrote it

[rocky canyon]

well, theres lots of reasons it may not work..
does one of the player or the platform have a rigidbody (it cant detect collisions w/o it)
does the player have a rigidbody if it doesn't playerRb.velocity can't work, b/c thats a rigidbody function..
its using tags to know whats the player.. did you set up the tag "Player" and assign it on ur player object?
... etc

ya, chatgpt can write functioning code (in small cases) but it usually isn't going to work w/o doing the setup that the script needs to function.

[devout nimbus]

Ok. I think I can accomplish the setup fine, Ill get back to you guys tomorrow if I have question cuz its late. Thanks for the help!

[rocky canyon]

might as well ask chatgpt how to set it up as well.. since it gave u the code.. it'll know how the setup should be

[proven mirage]

hey guys if you have a sec could you plz look at my question above if anyone has a second to spare

[harsh silo]

Anyone know why I get this issue inconsistently from my gun's script:

[frosty hound]

No, because you haven't shared anything

[rocky canyon]

to get the direction towards the target u just subtract its position from the target position.
direction = target.position - this.position;
that'd be one piece to ur puzzle

u could also get the distance and divide that by how many ever jumps u want to make, and then that'd give u the distance of each jump.

for the actual jump, not sure how you could go about that.. maybe some parabola mathematics

[proven mirage]

no thats not really needed

[proven mirage]

parabola?

[rocky canyon]

https://luminaryapps.com/blog/arcing-projectiles-in-unity/index.html

not sure how ur game's gonna function w/ the jumps and all.. but think about all thats gonna need to happen, and just start 1 thing and add onto it

[proven mirage]

surley there a simpler way

[rocky canyon]

there are many ways.. for 1 u could just add an upwards force + gravity..

u wouldnt have any fine control over where it lands.. it'd be trial and error with different values, depending on teh speed its moving laterally.. (left and right)

if u wanted to add just the right amount of force to land in a specific location.. yea, it'd be a bit of math.. taking in the velocity ur already moving.. the distance you want to travel, then the gravity's pull, the force needed to overcome it long enough to land in a specific point..

[proven mirage]

i see

[vale karma]

is there a way to use the "Look" Action and Delta [Pointer] in the Input Actions as camera/player rotation?

i cant find any videos/documentation on it

most are using old input system, or using an Action Map from scratch and using MouseX and MouseY, but ive already somehow implemented a way to move both up and down without splitting it up into two different actions

[rocky canyon]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tXDgSGOEatk&t=13s&ab_channel=PracticalProgramming

theres quite a few its just a basic FPS (mouse look) setup

[vale karma]

yea im using the default scheme when you create an action in the inspector

it only has Delta [Pointer] and gives mouse input when its moved

it just seems weird id have to change the action from Look - using joysticks and mouse, to having to basically use the old method inside the new method

[rocky canyon]

why? would u do that? the purpose of the input system is to be able to easily use all types of controls

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lclDl-NGUMg&ab_channel=SpeedTutor heres a robust tutorial that walks thru all kinds of scenarios w/ the new system

[tepid summit]

they changed it again

no way

[vale karma]

im talkin about when you create an action map, and it gives the defaults, couldnt I use the Delta [Pointer] instead of going through all the mouse X and mouse Y stuff?

[rocky canyon]

ya, im aware of what ur talking about.. heres a snapshot of that tutorial i just sent

[vale karma]

okay ill watch that one then 😮

[rocky canyon]

im sure the delta pointer and delta mouse are similar

but im not totally sure..

[rocky canyon]

theres timestamps in the description. could help u skim thru it to find whats relevant to u

[vale karma]

i must become the ultimate input manager guru now

ill invent an entire game engine system in spite of solving this problem

[rocky canyon]

i, myself, am gonna end up watching it one day just for some context, as I have hardly used the new input system, and i need to start since im working on a game i plan on being friendly w/ mobile and gamepads

[vale karma]

yea i have realized learning it now that movement is much simpler this way. I actually just read the unity docs over the subject until i needed some examples, then i watched some utube tutorials

[rocky canyon]

nothing wrong with have a good input manager.. you could probably re-use it over and over if u set up a good one

[vale karma]

if I just kept watching tutorials i wouldve been so confused still

yea but i dont know what im doing yet, so i gota know how the babies are made first

[rocky canyon]

ya, watching videos are super beneficial when u actually get hands on.. and use the stuff ur trying to learn about

[rocky canyon]

good thing its geared for Beginner

[vale karma]

noooo hes not using the same method I am when dealing with the input system lolll

hes going more through code, I went with a different method

[rocky canyon]

maybe try #🖱️┃input-system they'll be more people familiar with the ins and outs of the system.

[bold thicket]

I'm having issues with multi-animation for a jumping/falling animation mix. If anyone could dm and help me out that would be awesome. Thanks!

[frosty hound]

People are not going to DM you, also not a coding question

You can explain and show your issue in #🏃┃animation and anyone who wants/can help, will

[bold thicket]

No stress, I've never had success asking for help in large discords over a public chatroom. If anyone does DM, I would be thankful. If it's not allowed to ask for help in that manner then feel free to take it down.

[swift crag]

Just ask your question.

[craggy oxide]

yeah unfortunately security's very tight around here when it comes to asking questions properly

just present your problem, in its actual code form, make sure its not a basic syntax error or a question that's simple enough to google beforehand, and then pray for a response

[vale karma]

So i finally got something to get my player to rotate with the mouse input horizontally, but the problem is that when I press W to move forward, its not using the rotation of the camera to change where forward is

public void Look(InputAction.CallbackContext context)
{
    deltaPoint = context.ReadValue<Vector2>();
    float mouseXRotation = deltaPoint.x * mouseSens;
    firstPersonController.transform.Rotate(0, mouseXRotation, 0);
    Debug.Log("looking around"); 
}

[solemn summit]

What is the move forward code?

[vale karma]

public void Update()
{
    playerController.Move(direction * moveSpeed * Time.deltaTime);
} 
    

public void OnMove(InputAction.CallbackContext context)
{
    // read the value for the "move" action each event call
    moveAmount = context.ReadValue<Vector2>();
    
    // the x and y inputs read from the Input Action are converted into a Vector3 
    // to move forward and backwards, not up and down.
    direction = new Vector3(moveAmount.x, 0f, moveAmount.y);

    // Checks if the player is moving and changes the bool "isWalking" accordingly
    if (moveAmount.x > 0.01f || moveAmount.x < -0.01f || moveAmount.y > 0.01f || moveAmount.y < -0.01f)
    {
        playerAnimations.SetBool("isWalking", true);
    }
    else if (moveAmount.x == 0 && moveAmount.y == 0)
    {
        playerAnimations.SetBool("isWalking", false);
    }
    
}

i am using the new input system and a character controller, I finally got movement down, but now i cant seem to rotate the player like an fps shooter

[solemn summit]

Not sure where OnMove is being called, but if you're rotating the player can't you just use tranform.forward?

[vale karma]

where would i use transform.forward? and also wouldnt that be weird to implement into the character controller? idk, its all still fresh and new to me, but im kind of getting the hang of it

[solemn summit]

Ah, I'm a rigidbody boy. I don't have any experience with the cc. But transform.forward is a direction

[vale karma]

idk why I cant just rotate the player and not have global movement

yea im trying to get used to the new input system to get some level of consistency

[split dragon]

Hi. I have a question: Let's assume that I have several variables with 1 data type. I need to write them both in an array (floats[]) or separately (float Standard, float Run, etc.), despite the fact that these variables will be asked in other scripts. How will it be better and more professional?

[north kiln]

Why would you add them to an array?

[split dragon]

Well, somehow I don't want to have a lot of public fields. You can create an array and hide it sometime. I don't know how to explain it.

[north kiln]

You just want to collapse them in the inspector?

[split dragon]

Let's say I have 5 floats separate and 1 floats[]. Which option is better?

[faint sluice]

You don't want to convert multiple floats (that stores unrelated seperate values) in an array because it removes the readability of your code

What if you accidentally remove an element or change their position

Imagine you have 50 different floats in your game and you convert them all to an array, you'll never know which float is for what purpose.

That's why always use separate fields unless all the elements in array are doing one purpose only

[faint sluice]

Depends on use case

[split dragon]

In short, is it better separately?

[faint sluice]

What are you intending to store?

[split dragon]

Well, the data type is float and int, which will be used in another script and changed

[faint sluice]

That doesn't tell me what you intend to store

[split dragon]

I don't understand what you mean about storing

[faint sluice]

I have 2 floats one is for SpeedOfCar second is for DamagePerBullet

I wouldn't store them in in an array of float as Array[0] = speed Array[1] = damage
Because both of them are used for vastly different purposes

But if I had to store speed of all the cars in my game I could store them in an array as they all represent same type of float

Does that make sense? With that being said what are you trying to store?

[wintry quarry]

Make a struct or class

[split dragon]

Player's speed: walking, running, squatting.

[faint sluice]

Could make a struct or class as praetor suggested for all different states of player's movement but if don't want to do that I would store these values seperately for readability purposes

[split dragon]

Good. Thanks

[vale karma]

how can i get my model not to rotate upwards or downwards with the mouse?

public void Look(InputAction.CallbackContext context)
{
    deltaPoint = context.ReadValue<Vector2>();

    transform.Rotate(0, deltaPoint.x * mouseSens, 0);
    Debug.Log("looking around");

    xRotation -= deltaPoint.y;
    xRotation = Mathf.Clamp(xRotation, -xClamp, xClamp);
    Vector3 targetRotation = transform.eulerAngles;
    targetRotation.x = xRotation;
    mainCamera.eulerAngles = targetRotation;
}

im about to just say screw it and use the controller asset plugin

[eternal needle]

doesnt look like this should be affecting the x or z rotation at all. Unless you've assigned the wrong object to mainCamera
Maybe you have other code that is rotating the player. Also you can avoid this entirely by just using cinemachine

[vale karma]

oh plz how do i use cinemachine with it? i thought about it but i thought it was a stretch

[eternal needle]

use cinemachine for the camera, itll handle the rotations. Then i just rotate my player based on where the camera is currently looking

[vale karma]

i want to make my first game with somewhat optimized inputs, and the new input system, character controller, and new terms in scripts is killin me grandpa

ooo what kind of camera? free cam?

[eternal needle]

whatever camera you need, i assume this is first person?

[vale karma]

ytea

[eternal needle]

should be able to find exactly what you need for first person camera using cinemachine on

[vale karma]

theres also an issue where he does an animation and you basically watch the back of his head. Could i parent the camera to that object? i tried but it didnt work

[eternal needle]

you can go as far as having the camera not render the player entirely. Not sure what effect you want but i 100% wouldnt parent the camera to the head

[vale karma]

arent you supposed to have a script with an offset?

im procrasinating on that one :/

[eternal needle]

cinemachine has that script for you

[vale karma]

time to start googlin

[eternal needle]

it is a complete plug and play solution, there is very rarely functionality that you need to add to it

at least in the simple cases

[tepid summit]

ok so i learned the difference between = and == just now

its pretty cool and/or handy

[vale karma]

i use it mostly in idle and walking animations

[tepid summit]

== is conditional

[vale karma]

ayee

[tepid summit]

what?

[vale karma]

lol nothin

[iron crow]

New to programming, ran into this error, anyone have any ideas, I've tried googling, but I'm stumped.

[night mural]

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/programming-guide/classes-and-structs/access-modifiers

I would guess that you aren't intended to be interacting with InternalDirtyFlags (it is internal to BezierUtils)

[iron crow]

Im wondering if it has to do updating my project from 2020 to 2023, Im also reading it could be something with libraries but Im not ssure.

Thanks for the link, Im digging through it now.

👍

It's my only error remaining.

[night mural]

it's possible that it was accessible before and they decided it shouldn't be but normally i'd expect unity to catch that as part of the migration

well you can always go to that line and see what it's doing, probably there is a 'new' way and it just needs a slight edit

[iron crow]

{```

[night mural]

it looks like the error might be in a plugin though, in which case you might just need to update the plugin? did tou do that first?

[iron crow]

That was the line in question, my first guesss was to change it to public, but that didn't really effect much.

[iron crow]

Looking into it now.

[night mural]

that would be much preferable to editing a third party module yourself

[split dragon]

My question is: Is there a difference between performance if in place: Massive.Should Length be used as a number? Of course, it will be more convenient to use .Length, but doesn't the system count the size of the array, thereby consuming resources? For better performance, you need to use .Length or number or is there no difference?

[vale karma]

i am not able to figure this cinemachine out. any good vids using the new input system?

[keen dew]

no difference

[split dragon]

Ok. Thanks

[tame mist]

hello, I'm trying to change the color of an image when it is clicked. it should toggle between a red and orange color so I defined the colors

private Color orangeAudioButton = new Color(255f, 88f, 0f);
private Color redAudioButton = new Color(185f, 40f, 31f);

and when I try to change the color with audioImage.color = redAudioButton;
the color chart indicates wrong rgb values and the image stays white when it should be red. when it should be orange it is yellow.
I'm confused as to what is happening. the rgb values i took straight from the color property on the image.

[tepid summit]

rend.material?

try that

[tepid summit]

buttons have a preset way of making them change colors when you click them

[night mural]

iirc Color takes normalized values so if you want to pass in 0-255 range values, use Color32

[tepid summit]

whats iirc

[north kiln]

https://unity.huh.how/color/color-range

[eternal needle]

you can make these [SerializeField] then assign them in inspector. Will save you the trouble of defining them manually. Do that or divide your values by 255

[tame mist]

thanks, I used color32 and that works

[tame mist]

that's a great suggestion, I'll start doing colors in the inspector from here on instead of defining them 👍

[tepid summit]

if i remember correctly

[hidden bone]

im not entirely sure as I got that part of the code from a yt video but as I understand it, it sends out a raycast and a spherecast from the cameras position. it then checks if there is a raycast hit and if there is not, it checks if there is a spherecast hit. If both of them fail, its a miss and the gameobject (the red sphere) is deactivated. If either hit, the gameobject is activated at the hit location. The raycast takes precedence over the spherecast, regarding the position of the activated gameobject

Im trying to make a droppable item but I have this error and I dont understand the error, if I have to provide extra information please tell me

[jovial zealot]

Hi, been having a bit of a weird issue that I haven't been able to solve for around an hour. It is most likely a simple fix but I'm not sure.

Trying to get a character controller crouch working for a first person game, following this tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rJqP5EesxLk&list=PLGUw8UNswJEOv8c5ZcoHarbON6mIEUFBC

Using his code at around 21:13 for crouching, my character collider keeps "jittering" upon raising the height.

I have heard that I'm supposed to modify the "center" of the collider to offset it, but that just makes the game object clip through the floor. then bounce immediately back up instead of slowly raising the height. I used this stack exchange post for that: https://gamedev.stackexchange.com/questions/159781/changing-charactercontrollers-height-causes-jittering-issue-in-unity

Is there some universal fix that I'm missing for this? Thanks.

[keen dew]

You'll have to show the full error message

[keen dew]

What is Collectableitem?

[foggy arch]

do I send the code for it?

Its the script that makes an item pickable/collectable

Does anyone else have the problem where you cant drag the stuff in the scene samples? Im new to unty so i dont know if its my fault

[agile hornet]

Hello, so I have two gameobjects that both get destroyed when they come in contact. I would like for this to happen only after a key is pressed. This is my attempt, but it's not working as expected. What could be the problem? Or how should I best approach this?

public class DetectCollision2 : MonoBehaviour
{
public static int feed = 0;
private bool buttonpressed = false;

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

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

void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other)
{ 
    if(buttonpressed)
    {
        Destroy(gameObject);
        Destroy(other.gameObject);
        Debug.Log("Score:" + (feed++));
    }
       else
       {
        Debug.Log("Not Ok");
       }           
}

}

What're you expecting?

[eternal needle]

Paste in the format above but also try to add more meaningful debugs. Like debug the name of the object hit. Your code also doesnt actually check what its hitting. Itll destroy when it hits anything

[ivory bobcat]

As is, if the button was ever pressed once and collision occurred anytime thereafter, it would destroy the two objects.

Also I dont really need to see the code again. We've commented on it already above. If you change it then paste using the format the bot tells you

[hybrid sundial]

i had already been to that

[north kiln]

Then what's your problem

It explains the issue

[hybrid sundial]

still the same issue

[north kiln]

What don't you understand about the solutions

[hybrid sundial]

i removed the things i didnt need

[north kiln]

So, why does the error mention two using statements

[hybrid sundial]

i do not know

[agile hornet]

Because the objects are destroyed when they collide, I would like to add another condition to trigger the gameobjects being destroyed. So the goal would be to destroy the gameobjects if they collide and a button was pressed.

[agile hornet]

public class DetectCollision2 : MonoBehaviour
{
   public static int feed = 0;
   private bool buttonpressed = false;

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

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

    void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other)
    { 
        if(buttonpressed)
        {
            Destroy(gameObject);
            Destroy(other.gameObject);
            Debug.Log("Score:" + (feed++));
        }
           else
           {
            Debug.Log("Not Ok");
           }           
    }
 
}

[eternal needle]

Well this code should do exactly that. You havent said really what the problem is. The sentence above really doesnt make sense other than "destroy 2 objects only if a button is pressed before"

[agile hornet]

The problem is sometimes the objects are destroyed and sometimes they are not destroyed.

[honest haven]

inside your trigger check that other == "what ever is surposed to destroy it"

[ripe shard]

You also probably want to check the pressed state not the down state of the key, which you also would not have to store in a variable. Unless you want this button‘s effect to stay on forever

[agile hornet]

How do I do that?

[ripe shard]

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Input.GetKey.html

[agile hornet]

The objects are destroyed fine, when I remove the button key operation. But it starts behaving wierdly when I add that button operation.

[west sonnet]

Hellooo everybody

[agile hornet]

Thanks, but I would like to achieve it by simply pressing the button not holding it down.

[earnest atlas]

 void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other)
 {
     if(!other.CompareTag("Player")) return;
     GameController.Instance.Score++;
     Destroy(gameObject);
 }```

Why this not working? I have rigidbody and 2d box collider on it

[west sonnet]

I'm trying to write some script so that I can space out my enemies punches. They should be able to throw a punch every second. This is my code. For some reason when I change the values in the IEnumerator, it does change anything and I can't figure out why?

This is a video to show you what I mean. You can see the Float value for the reload timer on the right

[north kiln]

Go through the physics messages troubleshooting link pinned to this channel

[earnest atlas]

I mean its not getting a call even. Maybe I wrote it wrong?

[earnest atlas]

Corutines can start multiple times. Maybe that happens?

[north kiln]

Are you starting a coroutine every frame

[north kiln]

Go through the resource and find out

[west sonnet]

I wasn't planning to

[west sonnet]

Hmmm how can I avoid that happening?

[earnest atlas]

You can save it and check if it exists

[north kiln]

Well, you have it in Update, so is something preventing that in your code?

[west sonnet]

How?

[west sonnet]

I dont think so. Everything in my screenshot is my code

[earnest atlas]

private Coroutine _coroutine;

If(_coroutine!=null) return;

In the corutne at end just set it to null

Like this only 1 corutine will exist

[west sonnet]

I have this bool which is what I'm using to determine if the player is in front of the enemy.

Is it possible to get a bool value from the Overlap method?

But not how I've done it here

But like as a value. I don't know if I'm explaining it correctly

[vale karma]

is there a way for the first person camera to be connected to part of the mesh so when the animation bends over the camera follows the head instead of staying put

[wild oak]

is it possible to make a sprite only collide with 1 different specific sprite, but be able to pass through other sprites?

[vale karma]

use tags

[wild oak]

how would i use tags here

[vale karma]

or even terrain

[wild oak]

im already using rigidbody & boxcollider

its 2d

[west sonnet]

Or you could use layers

[wild oak]

ohh right

[west sonnet]

Then when you write the collision code, make it check what layer the colliding object is on

[wild oak]

ok thx

[west sonnet]

Tags work too though, I think

Same idea

[west sonnet]

I'm not sure I understand how to make this work

[earnest atlas]

You make the corutine variable at top of the class

It exists just to hold it

Or you can just make a bool variable

Like "CorutineExists"

Set it to true when its made, then to false inside the corutine when it finishes

[west sonnet]

I still don't understand. I'm making a bool at the top of my script and setting it to true, then making it go false at the bottom of my Coroutine

But it doesn't do anything

[earnest atlas]

Pass your code here from update and corutine

[young smelt]

How do I color a drawing when The player selects the place he wants to color by tapping the screen. It should paint it up with the currently equiped color. I am currenly using 'UnityEngine.InputSystem.EnhancedTouch' To gather touch info

[west sonnet]

You mean you want me to type my code here?

[earnest atlas]

Im going crazy or why its not working?

I checked everything and layers and fisics are correcly setup. I havent changed anything and it worked in previus project of mine

void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other)
{
    if(!other.CompareTag("Player")) return;
    GameController.Instance.Score++;
    Destroy(gameObject);
}```

This is just not getting called at all

[earnest atlas]

Yes Ill add to it what I mean

[young smelt]

Should I make the drawing cut up in pieces (like hand a separate image form leg etc) or a whole drawing (Every part is one image)

[west sonnet]

    //private bool CoroutineExists = true;

I dont have OnDestroy anywhere

[rich adder]

you have OnDisable

how do I speak to moderators, I think My posts gets censored

[rich adder]

you're probably talking about the Regex

[languid spire]

it says OnDisable, read the error messages

[earnest atlas]

I dont think Im that blind but it sais onDestroy

[rich adder]

screenshot

[languid spire]

line above it

[earnest atlas]

Oh did on destroy run before on disable and caused object to get spawned?

[rich adder]

Did you read the Message

of why

[languid spire]

that is asking a question. one of the potential causes of the error

[rich adder]

a Period is not a complete sentence

[earnest atlas]

Should I change OnDisable to OnDistroy then?

[rich adder]

show OnDisable on PlayerController

[young smelt]

makes sense

[earnest atlas]

You might be asking why Im always referencing it

[cunning rapids]

Culling.

[earnest atlas]

Because for some reason its not working other way

[rich adder]

wdym the other way

[earnest atlas]

Setting GameCotroller.Instance.PlayerControls to a local variable

and linking it that way

[vale karma]

uhh what is htat

[earnest atlas]

Supposedly it should work but it doesnt

[languid spire]

OnEnabled and OnDisabled are not Unity methods

[earnest atlas]

OnDisable

Not disabled

[languid spire]

not acording to this #💻┃code-beginner message

[cunning rapids]

You can set what your camera sees and not through the inspector

[vale karma]

but couldnt i just move the camera with the head? it would add to the realism to bend over

[cunning rapids]

A cheap solution but works is to make the torso a separate layer from the head

[vale karma]

or do i have to make an animation for the camera

[cunning rapids]

But if your game is purely first-person there's really no need for a character model

[vale karma]

its all seperate layers, even the hair. but putting it as a child under it doesnt change anything to putting it under the first person controller empty

[cunning rapids]

So make your camera cull the head layer

[cunning rapids]

Again, of you're making a purely first-person game I don't get why you need stuff like hair or a head

[cunning rapids]

Show the camera inspector

[vale karma]

well yea but the arms

the arms would still move forward and do things, i need the camera to act like a head basically

i would still want the arms in the view, and soon change the view to 3d if it can be implemented

[cunning rapids]

Set the near clipping plane to the lowest (0.01) and get rid of the layers you don't want to see through the "culling mask" dropdown

Such as the head

It won't get rid of the actual game object, the camera just won't see it

If you don't see the objects you don't want to see through the drop down, assign a layer for it and select it in the dropdown

[cunning rapids]

@vale karma can you answer this please too

Because I don't get why you need hair

If you strive for realism in a first-person game, I'd get why you would keep the torso

But not the head or hair

[vale karma]

it came with the model on mixamo

and also i want the player to be able to play in 3rd person too

[cunning rapids]

But the model has separate parts, no?

[vale karma]

ehhh, the body is pretty much everything, then theres hair and clothes

lol check it out

[cunning rapids]

If you want to change perspectives I think you need 2 cameras, one for the first person POV and the other for the Third-person

But handle that later

[cunning rapids]

Did you do this yet?

@vale karma

[vale karma]

yea this is the result

[cunning rapids]

Why is the camera behind the player?? 💀

[vale karma]

loll the animation steps forward, thats what im tryin to fix

i want the camera to be fixed to the head during the animation

[cunning rapids]

Make it follow the model?

[vale karma]

how? i got it parented under it alrady

[cunning rapids]

You have the hair parented

[vale karma]

yea, its parented to the hair lol

[cunning rapids]

Is there anything that is fixed to the head?

[tepid summit]

the ! is before other not player

[vale karma]

the body is the entire body, head hands, feet

its not cut up into parts

the hair is tho :d

[cunning rapids]

The body is clearly split up into multiple childed elements

[earnest atlas]

wdym?

[tepid summit]

if (!other)

[vale karma]

yea but even parenting to one of those elements doesnt change the position of it during the animation

[earnest atlas]

what with if other

[tepid summit]

do if(other.CompareTag(!"player'')

what were you trying?

i dont know

[cunning rapids]

There are many ways to handle and FPS camera controller dude. But if your animation detaches from the camera for some reason or the transform of the model isn't following the animation bounds then there's no easy way to fix this

Again, if the physical player model doesn't change its bounds, despite it playing the animation, there's no easy way to fix this

When your character leans forward, does the position of the "hair" game object change with it accordingly?

[frigid sequoia]

If my parent class is calling a method on its update and I change the method on the child, does the parent call the new modified method or the initial one?

[tepid summit]

do you have the camera or the character parented?

[earnest atlas]

How to change sizes of 3d plane object in 2d?

[vale karma]

with this script enabled, no

[tepid summit]

place the camera as a child on the character

[tepid summit]

why do you have a 3d plane in 2d

[earnest atlas]

cause mesh only thing that accepts materials

[vale karma]

it doesnt follow the head :/

[tepid summit]

ah ok

[cunning rapids]

Use textures

[tepid summit]

make the character the parent

[queen adder]

Can anyone help me on this, i am not sure whats happening, but i want to add a sound when i turn on and off the flashlight and its not working, and have that error

[tepid summit]

can you send a screenie of the hierarchy

[earnest atlas]

ah you forgot 1f after playsound

[vale karma]

just being parented to the part i want it to follow exactly

[earnest atlas]

If i recall correctly it needs SoundLine and volume

[vale karma]

this is with a script on the camera. all it does tho is keep the camera still the entire time

[restive sigil]

I've been trying to find a good way to store dialogue text efficiently, without these weird ui extensions. Is it really good practice to have all my dialogue loaded from start, if i had a ton of text(ScriptableObkect)?

[tepid summit]

apply the camrea to the prefab

or

unpackage your character

[vale karma]

im not finding where to do that in the hierarchy

[paper sable]

is it possible to see where a raycast goes in the scene?

[tepid summit]

right click character go to prefab and press unpack

Any good way to make a ai agnet, STRAFE(walk to the left and right) so it gains sight of a game object?
The only thing i dont know how to do is the algorithm that will gave me a position to set the agents destination to.

Can anyone help me why moveSpeed doesnt show in the script in unity?

using System.Collections;

    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update()
    {
        transform.position = transform.position + (Vector2.left * moveSpeed);


    }

make it a float

[vale karma]

OMG I FIXED IT

[tepid summit]

lets goo

what did you do

[vale karma]

ill show ya

[vast saffron]

i litterally posted it as a code

[vast vessel]

You need to post large blocks of code on one if these websites

[vast saffron]

butt the code isnt large

[vast vessel]

You arent on a phone screen

[vast saffron]

oh

yea right

[rich adder]

doesnt matter this is annoying af to see on phone

here

[cunning rapids]

transform.position = new Vector2(transform.position.x - (moveSpeed * Time.deltaTime), transform.position.y);

And cs public float moveSpeed = 5f;

[vast saffron]

what does the f stand for?

[cunning rapids]

You have to specify it's a float and also make a NEW Vector2 for the movement

[cunning rapids]

float

[vast saffron]

ohh

alright

[cunning rapids]

You have to specify that the number is in fact, a float

[vast saffron]

yea thanks

[cunning rapids]

Np

[languid spire]

check the inspector. make sure moveSpeed is indedd 5

[vast saffron]

but when i have

(moveSpeed * Time.deltaTime)

how will i be able to configurate it when i have movespeed = 5f; above?

i want it in unity to configurate it

right here

[rich adder]

save after you fixed your compile error

[vast saffron]

is it still possible even tho it says Time.deltaTime?

[rich adder]

You need deltaTime if you want consitency across diff fps

[vast saffron]

oh yea

it works now

thanks

i just thought deltaTime couldnt be configurated in unity

mb

[rich adder]

you can add multipliers but you don't directly change it as its tied to the fps so it fluctuates

(its time between last frame and current frame)

[fervent abyss]

You cant put headers with { get; set; } stuff?

[frigid sequoia]

Like if do I have to tell the method to override the previous one or...?

[rich adder]

unity doesn't serialize properties

field isn't a prop

[languid spire]

you would need to apply the field serialize attribute to your property

[tepid summit]

whats on the table?

[rich adder]

yeah you can do [field:SerializeField, Header("CoolBeans")] @fervent abyss

[vale karma]

i designed a 3d printer in Blender. I got one sittin on my desk so i just kinda winged it

[vale karma]

im gonna make it move and actually print stuff, and be able to repair etc, its gonna be a struggle but a good idea

[fervent abyss]

Now its displaying only playerHead variable and others not

[languid spire]

that is a very cool idea

[vale karma]

yea im really good with printers, and i have alot of good ideas that sound realistic enough to pulloff ingame

[rich adder]

wdym

[languid spire]

you only applied the corect atribute to one property

[fervent abyss]

Dam

Is there any other way to like

[rich adder]

for props you need [field:SerializeField]

[fervent abyss]

Oh thank youuu

Works now

Hey guys, I'm having a weird bahavour in the TMPro, if I change the text from the inspector its normal, but if I change it from the script it has the data but it dosn't show!, I'm just using a script to fix the arabic letter and return it to me to use it

[languid spire]

how is text declared in your script?

[dusk dust]

I'm just taking it from a scriptable object and pass it to the function

[languid spire]

i asked how is it DECLARED

[dusk dust]

As a sring sorry

[languid spire]

no, the text object

[dusk dust]

TextMeshProUGUI

[languid spire]

change it to TMP_Text

[dusk dust]

it's the same

[languid spire]

Did you try logging the return from the Fix method?

[dusk dust]

It's shown in the inspector here

[tepid summit]

can we see your code

[languid spire]

that does not show EXACTLY what is being returned

[tepid summit]

why is your unity green

[languid spire]

environmentally friendly Unity theme?

[tepid summit]

damn

bro downloaded unity from peta

[dusk dust]

😂😂 I change the run color to know if it's on or not

[languid spire]

good practice, too many people make changes in play mode and then lose them because they 'forgot'

[dusk dust]

This is what is eexcpected

Use the Gizmos to know the colliders locations and check if there is a collider in the way

[languid spire]

At a guess, it doesn't look like your text area is big enough to contain the text. Do you have wrapping turned on?

[uneven crane]

How

[dusk dust]

I used Auto size and it's the same

[tepid summit]

Weren’t you here already?

[queen adder]

yea

i cannot solve

[tepid summit]

Ok

[visual hedge]

your gameobject doesn't have the sound source component might be the reason

[tepid summit]

Your font doesn’t have an underline character

[queen adder]

how i do that sry?

[tepid summit]

Click the light

[visual hedge]

Inspector> Add component> Audio source

[tepid summit]

Press add component

Yep

[queen adder]

ty alot

it worked

[visual hedge]

your script is trying to access the component that's not present )

No problem )

also expand the Audio Source and uncheck the "play on awake". Just to make sure it doesn't click everytime you launch the scene ) this might be annoying

[visual hedge]

for the future you can also try asking chaatgpt. Basically you copypaste the code, if it's not too big, and then ask why are you getting XXX error (copypaste). Chatgpt is quite helpful and knows unity quite well.

[languid spire]

Sorry, I am completely out of ideas, it does not seem to be a code problem so perhaps someone in #📲┃ui-ux can help

[lilac crow]

Hi.
Good afternoon.
How should I make a quest active after some dialogues are done or an object is found?
How should I code for them.?

[tepid summit]

Care to explain further?

[lilac crow]

I want make a quest get active when my player dialogues are done. Or when it's start talking to a npc or when a special object is found.

[frigid sequoia]

When I tell an object to rotate or move forwards, what is the object actually considerign forwards?

Like what is the orientation they consider to be the front one?

[lilac crow]

I have made a dialogue system

[fervent abyss]

Hi

Im trying to await and I get an error

public async Task LeaveRoom(){

    var result = await runner.Shutdown(true, ShutdownReason.Ok, false);

}

[languid spire]

so shutdown returns Task void, what kind of result were you expecting?

[fervent abyss]

Oh lmao

[cunning rapids]

Guys is it normal for a collider that is going REALLY fast (like 50 units) to only work if it's continuous and not discrete

[fervent abyss]

I got confused because other methods return lol

Thanks

[fierce shuttle]

Sounds like events could help you here, you can fire an event when dialogue is finished or an item is found/picked up, etc then you can have specific quests subscribe to those events, or have some kind of "quest manager" start the quests based on those events and maybe other details like relevant parts about the item collected, or NPC, player level, etc

[cunning rapids]

Help please

[lilac crow]

Can you explain more please?
How should I code for it?

[languid spire]

yes, it is

[fierce shuttle]

I believe so, the physics engine updates at a fixed rate (same rate as FixedUpdate is called), so if something with physics is moving too fast, its possible it can move between these frames and miss collision events, you may want to confirm with the docs, but using "continuous" will essentially check the last few frames instead of the current one to try and account for what would otherwise be potentially missed physics checks

[cunning rapids]

It's weird tho. My bullet is continuous and it only collides with a rigidbody if it's "continuous dynammic"

Even if both are continuous it's noticeably inconsistent

See?

[fierce shuttle]

You could use a global event system or a publisher-subscriber pattern, or if you have a direct reference to your NPC/dialogue manager/special item, then that script can contain the event, for example when a item is picked up, you can call something like GlobalEventManager.OnItemCollected?.Invoke(item); which might be a static System.Action<Item> type, you can then have your quest manager subscribe to GlobalEventManager.OnItemCollected += LocalFunc; (and if you subscribe to things its always a good idea to also make sure you have a time to unsubscribe, such as in OnDestroy or OnDisable, etc) - that "LocalFunc" would have to match the event type, so in this example private void LocalFunc(Item thingCollected) {}, you can do whatever checks needed to know its a "special item" and then fire a quest - similarly for a dialogue ending, heres a tutorial I found useful on publisher-subscriber pattern but any event-based variant might work well too: https://medium.com/@kunaltandon.kt/implementing-the-publish-subscribe-pattern-in-unity-knowledge-scoops-60ca0ac29884

[cunning rapids]

@fierce shuttle

[lilac crow]

Oh thank you!
I try to make it! 😘🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

[fierce shuttle]

Ah, I may have been thinking of how "interpolate" works when I was describing earlier, though if continuous dynammic works for you, why not use that? It might be good to look at the docs for how the different collision detections work, my description was off memory: https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Rigidbody-collisionDetectionMode.html
and
https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Rigidbody-interpolation.html

[cunning rapids]

Isn't it very inefficient to use continuous dynamic? In the past, when I made tiny FPS projects, even discrete worked fine

[timber tide]

use what you need to use

you always need to do more calculations if the velocity is much greater in distance than the area of the collider in its path

[cosmic dagger]

It takes more performance, but you need to if your objects are moving that fast. You can use that or raycast instead . . .

[cunning rapids]

Maybe it's a problem with my project, no?

I'll send my shooting script

[timber tide]

https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/sweep-based-ccd.html

pretty neat visual representation

"Use Continuous on physics bodies that only collide with stationary static colliders"

[cunning rapids]

Oh shit I didn't expect it to take up this much space

Here

This is the script for my shotgun

[slender nymph]

you're gonna want to double check that link

[cunning rapids]

https://hastebin.com/share/cuxunehire.csharp

Goddamnit

Sorry about that

[timber tide]

Yeah, so reading the representation and looking at your video. You're shooting a rigidbody with a rigidbody which says to use continuous dynamic

if you're shooting static colliders like walls only, then you can just use continuous

[slender nymph]

also note that the expected speed of the projectile will play a factor in which collision detection mode you'll need to use too. a very fast projectile using discrete may be too fast to register some collisions

[timber tide]

"Sweep-based CCD can have a significant impact on performance, especially when widely used in a project. If a large number of high-speed objects with sweep-based CCD are in close proximity, the CCD overhead increases quickly because the physics engine
has to perform more sweeps, and more CCD sub-steps."

[cunning rapids]

I'm shooting a rigidbody AT a rigidbody that needs continuous dynamic

[timber tide]

Could consider using your own raycast detection too, but I'm not too sure how well you can blend it with rb

would probably be fine if you aren't needing collisional points

[cunning rapids]

Is it a significant performance issue? What if I have a bunch of enemy colliders in one area?

The problem is that eventually I'd have to polish up the game and add stuff like enemies

Witht heir own AI and scripts

At a large scale

I can't imagine that's very good for your project

I also have a script for the bullet

using UnityEngine;

public class Bullet : MonoBehaviour
{
    // Specify the tags that should be excluded from collisions
    private string[] excludedTags = {"Player", "Weapon"};

    private void OnCollisionEnter(Collision collision)
    {
        foreach (string tag in excludedTags)
        {
            if (collision.gameObject.CompareTag(tag))
            {
                Physics.IgnoreCollision(collision.collider, GetComponent<Collider>());
                return;
            }
        }

    }
}

Simply for ignoring collision of the weapon and player

[timber tide]

I'd expected some middle ground implementation like I suggested, but it does seem like there's situations where you don't want to be using it but there's no other options

[cunning rapids]

"middle ground implementation "

Elaborate

[timber tide]

i did ^^^^

[cunning rapids]

Oh

[slender nymph]

#💻┃code-beginner message

[cunning rapids]

For both objects too

[slender nymph]

i can almost guarantee it isn't actually at its old speed

[cunning rapids]

Makes sense

[timber tide]

actually, if bullets cant collide with each other, you can just disable that on the matrix and it may not calculate them

would make sense

[cunning rapids]

It looks good enough for me

[cosmic dagger]

Instead of using an array of tags and ignoring the collision, use the collision layer matrix to place the bullets on a separate collision layer from the player and weapons and make sure their collision layers are unchecked to collide . . .

[cunning rapids]

Using layers instead of tags?

I saw an example script using a "bitwise left shift operation" (whatever the hell that is)

Something implemented like this?

using UnityEngine;

public class Bullet : MonoBehaviour
{
    public LayerMask bulletCollisionLayer;
    private void OnCollisionEnter(Collision collision)
    {
        if ((bulletCollisionLayer & (1 << collision.gameObject.layer)) != 0)
        {
            Physics.IgnoreCollision(collision.collider, GetComponent<Collider>());
        }
    }
}

Problem is I have no idea how this script works or how to implement it

[slender nymph]

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

[cunning rapids]

Specifically this line:

if ((bulletCollisionLayer & (1 << collision.gameObject.layer)) != 0)```

[slender nymph]

please actually take some time to read the link

[cunning rapids]

The rest is pretty intuitive

[cunning rapids]

Sure

[swift crag]

https://unity.huh.how/bitmasks#bitmasks-and-layermasks has an explanation of what this line is doing.

specifically, https://unity.huh.how/bitmasks#checking-if-a-mask

[slender nymph]

it is also entirely unnecessary when using layers to filter unwanted collisions

[swift crag]

ah, I missed your point (:

right: you should just use layer-based collision so that you aren't having to filter out layers in the first place

[swift crag]

This method is assuming that any layer can collide with us, so it manually checks if we hit something on the right layer.

You should just prevent unwanted collisions from happening in the first place in the physics settings.

[slender nymph]

and you don't even have to have entire layers dedicated to not colliding with other layers. in recent unity versions you can exclude layers on a per-collider basis now right in the inspector

[swift crag]

I rarely check layers in my collision and trigger methods. I just use TryGetComponent to look for the component I expect to find on an object

[cunning rapids]

If I understood correctly, you can shift an active bit through a list of 8 bits (1 byte) using the >> operator?

[swift crag]

there is no "list" here

1 << x produces a number that has a single 1 bit set at position x

1 << 0 is 1
1 << 1 is 2
1 << 2 is 4
etc.

0001
0010
0100

[cunning rapids]

Yeah no that makes sense

I was referring to the enum

[swift crag]

This is necessary if you want to test if a layer is contained in a layer mask.

But, again, you can sidestep that entirely.

[cunning rapids]

public enum Days : byte

It specifically set the index to have 8 digits due to it being a byte (which is equal to 8 bits)

[swift crag]

oh, yes, then the enum values are 1-byte integers

[cunning rapids]

Understood

[swift crag]

the same premise holds; it's just shorter than the usual 4-byte integer

[cunning rapids]

so ```cs
private enum Bits : byte
{
Example = 1 >> 3
}

Should return 00010000?

[swift crag]

this doesn't return anything

[green island]

How do i make it so the ball flies away i tried just changeing the scale of the schield to push it away but it doesnt work

[swift crag]

this declares a new type called Bits with a single value named Example

[cunning rapids]

I know I mean the value of "Example"

[swift crag]

the numeric value of Example is zero

beacuse 1 >> 3 is a right shift by 3 bits

you probably meant 1 << 3, which is 8

[slender nymph]

add force to it. right now it appears to just be depenetrating

[cunning rapids]

Wait wait I'm getting a bit lost, sorry about that

How is shifting the active bit 3 positions over will equate to 8?

[gaunt ice]

0x08

[slender nymph]

i like how they have seemingly dropped their initial issue which is actually unrelated to bit shifting in favor of figuring out how bit shifting works

[modest dust]

Read about binary numbers

[cunning rapids]

I know how binary numbers work

right-left, base 2

Pretty easy

[earnest atlas]

2^3

= 8

[cunning rapids]

Yeah I see that now

[modest dust]

1 in binary is 0000_0001
Left shift by 3 is simply 0000_1000 which is 8

[cunning rapids]

I thought it meant 00000100

Which would be 4

right-left shift 3 places

My bad

[earnest atlas]

So max amount of layers is 32 or 64?

[slender nymph]

32

[earnest atlas]

Well who knows why would you ever need 32 layers so that should be enough

[timber tide]

i want 64 ;(

render objects eats up a lot for me

[slender nymph]

yeah i kind of hate how rendering layers and physics layers are the same layers in unity

[swift crag]

yeah

that's caused me headaches in the past

[cunning rapids]

Does rigidbody follow similar rules of physics as irl?

[swift crag]

that's the rough idea

[cunning rapids]

Well in that case it's easy to calculate the velocity of an object and adjust it accordingly

[swift crag]

what are you trying to do here

[cunning rapids]

Nothing, I'm just asking why is there a gaurantee that the speed isn't the same if you can easily calculate it?

[swift crag]

because you got different results

measure the velocity and find out what's actually happening

it doesn't matter how sound your reasoning is if the outcome is different

otherwise I wouldn't need to test any of the code I write (:

[cunning rapids]

Yeah I know, but with a little bit of physics knowledge you can pretty much gaurantee the same result in-game

[native flicker]

this is not code related

[cunning rapids]

I'm too lazy to adjust my values accordingly since I don't really need to change the current speed of my bullet gameobject, but it's very much possible to do so if you're that picky

Not talking about you specifically just saying in general

I just thought that boxfriend implied that you can't just change the values and test for the same speed unless I'm just stupid

[swift crag]

boxfriend said he thinks the speed is different

because you got a different outcome

that's the point

[cunning rapids]

Which it is, not denying that

Anyway it's not really that important

[swift crag]

it's not that this guaranteed in all situations in all possible multiverses

it's just probably true here

[cunning rapids]

Fair

[earnest atlas]

Why cant I add sprites into animation?

[thorn iron]

Hello, I have come from Godot to Unity and wish to learn any Godot equivalence in Unity.
And one of them is what is the equivalence of (Godot) Node.get_parent() in unity?

[frosty hound]

This isn't a code question.

You need to select an object in your scene that has the animator assigned.

[frosty hound]

transform.parent

[tough lagoon]

I've never use Godot, but you probably want transform.parent

[earnest atlas]

Oh I got it now

[tough lagoon]

In Unity, transform is where you get the hierarchy (parent/children) and position/rotation/scale.

[thorn iron]

oh, can I call a method of a parent via transform.parent?

ohh

prob cause i had both on -

[fierce shuttle]

You can call methods that exist in the Transform class from the parent, since transform.parent would also return a Transform type, from that, if you know the class/type your looking for, you can call GetComponent<Type>() to access public methods, for example transform.parent.GetComponent<Rigidbody>().velocity

[thorn iron]

Hum, I forgot to clarify that Godot's get_parent() is not the parent the class has inherited.
For example I have a class Player and a class Weapon.
Player has a attribute Weapon but Weapon doesn't have an attribute Player
Thus, I have :

public class Player
{
  Weapon weapon = new Weapon();
  ...

public class Weapon
{  
  Player player = get_parent();

}

So is transform.parents equivalent to get_parent()?

no its not

here if your not on phone

[thorn holly]

You have two variables named the same thing

There’s two in the top both named heightOffset

[vast saffron]

oh yea#

[earnest atlas]

literally at start

[vast saffron]

lol

wait

1 sec

im dumb

yea got it

some are spawning off field

how do i fix that

[earnest atlas]

wdym spawning off field?

[thorn holly]

Adjust the offset values, make them smaller

[vast saffron]

i mean yea but where do i find the max ones in unity

heights

[earnest atlas]

what heights?

[thorn holly]

The code that you made

Make height offset smaller

[vast saffron]

these ones

the lines

for my window

i have both on 10

rn

[thorn holly]

Just decrease them

Expirement

[vast saffron]

alr

did to 6

[earnest atlas]

and then people get stuck in walls for some reason

[thorn holly]

@vast saffron are you following a tutorial or making this yourself?

[thorn iron]

So can I access to public methods of a custom class that I created?
For example :

public class Player : MonoBehaviour
{
  Weapon weapon;
  int TimeLeft ;

  // Constructor
  public Player()
  {
    weapon =  new Weapon();
  }

  // Methods
  public void WeaponFinishedHisAnimation()
  {
    TimeLeft = 1;
  }

  public start()
  {
    AddChild(weapon);
  }


  public Update()
  {
    TimeLeft --;
    if(TimeLeft<= 0)
    { 
      weapon.Attack();
    }
  }
 
}






public class Weapon
{  
    
  public void Attack()
  {
    ...
    transform.parent.GetComponent<Player>().WeaponFinishedHisAnimation();   
  }

}

Does Weapon's method Attack() access succesfully his parent (Player) and call its method?

[vast saffron]

a tutorial but im not trying to copy everything

trying to help myself

so i learn from it you know

[thorn holly]

Nice

[vast saffron]

thanks

[thorn holly]

If weapon is a child of player, yes

[edgy field]

Can someon please tell where the mistake is if it is in the code?

[thorn iron]

Ah yes, how do I add a attributes as a Child?
(How do I add weapon as a child of player)

[slender nymph]

start by configuring your !IDE

[eternal falcon]

💡 IDE Configuration

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

• Visual Studio (Installed via Unity Hub)
• Visual Studio (Installed manually)

[thorn holly]

Hm? What do you mean “attributes”?

[thorn holly]

Just drag weapon into player in the hierarchy

Oh wait

I see the issue

[thorn iron]

I meant field, sorry.

[slender nymph]

that is a field (class-level variable)

[frigid sequoia]

I am adding a shake effect to the screen when the player takes damage, to do this at the end of the shake I reset the position of the canvas panel to its initial one, but this causes that if the screen size is changed the position of the UI doesn't adapt, how can I deal with this?

[fierce shuttle]

Not exactly - while Player can call weapon.Attack() because its a public function and Player has a reference to an instance of the Weapon class, if the Weapon was a MonoBehaviour and a child of Player, then that would work, there is also transform.GetComponentInParent<Type>() - though in most cases, you would pass whatever data Weapon would need from Player, rather than have Weapon try to access Player directly, or store a reference to Player so you wouldnt need a GetComponent call - you also wouldnt need to use a constructor with a MonoBeheaviour class, since you can use Start or Awake to act like paramaterless constructors, but for the case of your question, your Attack function is technically possible just maybe not a typical setup, and would also have to be a Monobehaviour attached to an object as a child, otherwise that code could not work as a non-mono class has no "transform" at that point

[thorn holly]

Well, the thing is the weapon script can’t be a child of the player script, the weapon GameObject can be a child of the player GameObject.

[frigid sequoia]

Like, who does the automatic scale works for a canvas?

[ivory bobcat]

Might want to do a null check else it should work if the parent was not null and if the parent had a Player component.

[potent garnet]

Trying to update my HP's slider, but for some reason it isn't working

[thorn iron]

So if my weapon script is attached to a GameObject Weapon
ANd my player script is attached to a GameObject Player

Does that mean that, if the GameObject Weapon is a Child a GameObject Player in the Hierarchy,
Then I can access to the Player's public fields/methods via transform.parent ?

[thorn holly]

Yes

[tough lagoon]

What do you mean by, isn't working?

[thorn holly]

Only issue is, according to this code, weapon doesn’t extend from MonoBehavior

[tough lagoon]

I'd debug log right before you set the slider. I suspect it works up to there but the slider is a smaller range than the health so it looks unchanged

[thorn holly]

Meaning weapon can’t be attached to a GameObject

[tough lagoon]

I also would use an image with fill instead of a slider as you don't want people dragging it up and down with their thumb

[potent garnet]

When I call the SetHP method from another class (in the OnTriggerEnter method), the value of the slider doesn't change (according to the functionality of the SetHP method in the BossProfile class)

[potent garnet]

alr

[verbal dome]

Btw you should not use constructors with MonoBehaviour classes (or other Unity object classes like ScriptableObject).
You can do initialization in Awake instead.

[thorn iron]

I wanted to do as much abstract classes for my game 😦
It really hinders me if I can't add a child in script or need to have a gameobject in order to access the parents.
Now that I know, can I create an abstract GameObject, so I can give him an abstract class and then define its BoxCollider or Geogemetric form later ?

[tough lagoon]

The main goal right now is just making sure the outrigger was called, the value was correctly calculated, and the value was submitted. Doing that debug log or a breakpoint proves all of those are OK and that the problem is the slider itself

[potent garnet]

the slider can be set as non-interactable if that's what you mean

[tough lagoon]

Not really. You can use it, but it's meant for user input, so it carries a lot of baggage. Where a health bar, you can just use an image set to horizontal fill. It is much better optimized and less prone to issues.

[ivory bobcat]

Does the trigger occur? (does it log)

[potent garnet]

OK i found out that the SetHP method isn't called

The trigger logs fine

[ivory bobcat]

Is the damage calculated correct? (not zero)

[potent garnet]

the damage is also calculated correctly

[ivory bobcat]

Are there any errors?

[potent garnet]

so I think the issue is the method itself

[potent garnet]

nope

[tough lagoon]

If it doesn't crash at the last line, my guess is it's the wrong boss entity

[ivory bobcat]

Was the result the expected value?

Can you verify these with logs?

[thorn iron]

I tested that a class cannot have more than 2 inheritance.
So how can I construct a class which inherit an abstract itself inherited by MonoBehaviour class?
For example, how can I remplace the constructor by Awake in this case :

public abstract class Entity : MonoBehaviour
{
    public Stats Stats;

    // Constructor ------------------------
    protected Entity(Stat BaseHP,Stat strength,Stat defense,Stat moveSpeed,Stat attackSpeedMultiplier,Stat  critChance,Stat critMultiplier)
    {
        Stats = new Stats(BaseHP, strength, defense,moveSpeed, attackSpeedMultiplier, critChance, critMultiplier);
    }
}


public class Player : Entity
{

    // Constructors ----------------------------------------------------------------
    public Stella():
    base
    (
        new Stat(StatTypes.Hp, 100),
        new Stat(StatTypes.Strength,1),
        new Stat(StatTypes.Defense,1),
        new Stat(StatTypes.MoveSpeed,500),
        new Stat(StatTypes.AttackSpeedMultiplier,1),
        new Stat(StatTypes.CritChance,1),
        new Stat(StatTypes.CritMultiplier,1.5f)
    )
    {}

    // Methods ----------------------------------------------------------------


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

    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update()
    {
        
    }
}

Stat is a class who doesn't have MonoBehaviour

[potent garnet]

yea lemme vertify that rn

Oh

[slender nymph]

instead of using a constructor just make Awake virtual and override it in the derived class then call base.Awake in the overridden method

[potent garnet]

I just found out that the damage that is calculated IS 0

[short hazel]

Putting constructors on MonoBehaviour inheriting classes do not work properly and should not be used.
Unity will fail to instantiate the component properly when it's attached to an object

[ivory bobcat]

So a good tip for future references is to simply not make any assumptions. Good job

[potent garnet]

yea 😓

im gonna remember that

[thorn holly]

Quick question about unity, when I attatch a script to an object, am i making an instance of that script?

Like if I have a script called Movement and I attatch it to an object, am I basically saying new Movement()

[verbal dome]

MonoBehaviours are created and 'attached' with the same function which is AddComponent

[thorn iron]

So should I do something like this ?

public abstract class Entity : MonoBehaviour
{
    public Stats Stats;

    public virtual void Awake()
    {
        Stats = null;
    }

}


public class Stella : Entity
{

    // Start is called before the first frame update
    public override void Awake()
    {
        Stats = new Stats
        (
            new Stat(StatTypes.Hp, 100),
            new Stat(StatTypes.Strength,1),
            new Stat(StatTypes.Defense,1),
            new Stat(StatTypes.MoveSpeed,500),
            new Stat(StatTypes.AttackSpeedMultiplier,1),
            new Stat(StatTypes.CritChance,1),
            new Stat(StatTypes.CritMultiplier,1.5f)
        );
    }

}

[verbal dome]

@thorn holly Unity does call new Movement somewhere when that happens, but you should let unity do that

[slender nymph]

yes

[thorn iron]

thank you

[thorn holly]

Got it, thanks

Hello I'm new and a beginner here so apologies. I'm struggling with a 2d game. Basically I want to zoom in and zoom out of an image on click. Is it possible with a box collider? Or should I create cameras. (I know it makes no sense)

[thorn holly]

What are you struggling with, getting the click input or making the camera zoom in?

[slender nymph]

wdym with a box collider? 🤔 how would that be relevant? or are you referring to detecting clicks on the object?

Can a class without GameObject ( inheritng MonoBehaviour) access to the function void FixedUpdate() ?

Here I wish to have a dictionary of buffs that update the Buff Timer of each buff at each FixedUpdate

public class Buffs : MonoBehaviour
{
      public Dictionary<StatTypes,System.Collections.Generic.List<Buff>> Dict {get;private set;} 
    

      public Buffs()
      {
          Dict = new Dictionary<StatTypes, System.Collections.Generic.List<Buff>>
          {
            {StatTypes.Hp,new System.Collections.Generic.List<Buff>()},
            {StatTypes.Strength,new System.Collections.Generic.List<Buff>()},
            {StatTypes.Defense,new System.Collections.Generic.List<Buff>()},
            {StatTypes.MoveSpeed,new System.Collections.Generic.List<Buff>()},
            {StatTypes.AttackSpeedMultiplier,new System.Collections.Generic.List<Buff>()},
            {StatTypes.CritChance,new System.Collections.Generic.List<Buff>()},
            {StatTypes.CritMultiplier,new System.Collections.Generic.List<Buff>()},
          };
      }

      private void UpdateBuffs()
      {
        foreach (var type in Dict.Keys)
        {
            System.Collections.Generic.List<int> RemoveIs = new System.Collections.Generic.List<int>();
            System.Collections.Generic.List<Buff> buffs = Dict[type]; 
            for(int i = 0 ; i<buffs.Count;i++)
            {
                Buff buff = buffs[i];
                buff.Decount();
                if(buff.TimeLeft<=0)
                {
                    buff = null;
                    RemoveIs.Add(i);                    
                }
            }
            int acc = 0;
            foreach ( int i in RemoveIs)
            {
                Dict[type].RemoveAt(i-acc);
                acc +=1;
            }
        }
      }

      void FixedUpdate()
      {
        UpdateBuffs();
      }

Dude

[slender nymph]

in order to be valid, your Buffs class will have to be attached to a gameobject. it will not receive any unity messages like Awake, FixedUpdate, etc without being attached to a gameobject

[thorn iron]

thank you

[slender nymph]

if you do not want it to be attached to a gameobject then do not inherit from MonoBehaviour and do not expect unity messages to work without some other object calling them manually

[thorn iron]

so I can't implement a sort of Timer without the class having a MonoBehaviour?

[tacit canopy]

I tried a tutorial where they used a gameobject (added component as a box collider and a script ) And as soon as they clicked anywhere in that area. They could zoom in. (Which didn't work for me at all when clicked)

[slender nymph]

it sounds like you missed part of the setup

[thorn iron]

Thanks !

[edgy field]

can someon tell me whats wrong? i can't find the mistake

[tacit canopy]

I see

[slender nymph]

you still need to configure your !IDE like you were told last time you posted this. it is a requirement to have configured tools in order to get help here

[eternal falcon]

💡 IDE Configuration

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

i did what this IDE Configuration told me to do

[slender nymph]

screenshot your entire IDE to show that it has been configured

[cunning rapids]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bbcPtAwG870&t=0s

[slender nymph]

considering they are using visual studio and not vs code, this video is not relevant

[cunning rapids]

It looked like VSC to me

Mb

[rugged bronze]

how do i replace my player prefab model with all my scripts and animations carrying over?

[cunning rapids]

Isn't it simpler for VS? Just download the SDK and there's already a Unity preset for VS

[slender nymph]

yes it is very easy to configure visual studio. it's also a lot less likely to just randomly break unlike vs code which seems to just stop working for no reason whatsoever

[cunning rapids]

Elaborate

A prefab sits in the assets folder

[cunning rapids]

Eh. I mean It takes like 10 minutes to configure VSC and it's lightweight

Potato Potatoh

Both have their advantages

[slender nymph]

sure, and it will just randomly stop working correctly too. much much more frequently than visual studio would

[thorn holly]

Where did Alino go

[cunning rapids]

Didn't happen to me in a while

[languid spire]

what does it matter if it's lightweight? You open it when you get up in the morning and you close it just before going to bed at night

[slender nymph]

yes, visual studio's advantages are being a fully featured IDE right out of the box with just a couple steps to configure and it will stay configured and the configuration steps are not dependent on the unity version.
vs code's current extensions for unity integration require 2021+ to work otherwise you have to go and install a million different extensions for some basic features.

also what steve said.

[cunning rapids]

I got a low-end PC so lightweight works well for me. But yeah I agree that VS is better due to it being a fully-fletched IDE. Just saying that both have their quirks

[fierce shuttle]

You can have 1 Mono call functions for other instances, for example:

public class SomeManager : MonoBehaviour
{
public List<SomeThing> instances = new();

void Start()
{
for(...) {instances[i].Init(this);}
}

void Update()
{
for(...) {if(instances[i].isOn) {instances[i].Execute();}}
}
}

public class SomeThing
{
public bool isOn;

SomeManager parent;

public void Init(SomeManager boss)
{
parent = boss;
}

public void Execute() {}
}

In this case "some thing" could be a buff or whatever, and "some manager" is calling its "execute" in the mono Update, and initializing it in the mono Start, not the only way, but one way if I understand your concern
