low-end pc is a pain but, tbh, I would rather run a Windows VM on Mac or Linux so I can use VS than suffer the pain that is VS Code

[rugged bronze]

im not sure how to put it since im new to unity but like how do i replace the model in general

[languid spire]

!Code, you should know better by now

My PC can run VS just fine but it runs VSC much quicker. VS is more productive for me tho 😭

[fierce shuttle]

Thats fair, though its non-executable example code to explain an approach, and didnt seem that long, but your probably right it could have been a link

[languid spire]

you do have a point, VS can be very slow, I just turn off all the crap I don't need

[cunning rapids]

VS community is free tho right?

[languid spire]

yes

[cunning rapids]

That's more than enough for an Indie dev

[languid spire]

sure

[cunning rapids]

VS and Unity are basically a match made in heaven

[languid spire]

god help the poor Mac devs when VS for Mac depreciates

[cunning rapids]

VSC is good for some coding projects due to its MASSIVE extension store but looking at a Unity standpoint, VS is the clear winner

Having a full IDE that is already configured to the game engine is just more productive

[timber tide]

I like naked vs code as an ide

for shaders

[cunning rapids]

Is this it?

It's that easy to configure VS for Unity?

[rare basin]

!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

[languid spire]

There was an Eclipse plug-in many, many years ago, I wonder what ever happened to that

[languid spire]

yep

[cunning rapids]

Damn

I've been using configured VSC for small projects

[cinder spruce]

Hello, i want the health value to be same with the max health value when i reload the screen. I decrease the maxHealth value by 10 when i clik a button. health should be equlized with maxHealth on start method in the playerHealth script. In short when i decrease the maxHealth, health value should be the same value as it is
This is StatsExchangeMenu script:
https://pastebin.pl/view/6522f52b

This is playerHealth Script:
https://pastebin.pl/view/e0dfa96a

[cunning rapids]

It took like 10 minutes to configure (albeit, it isn't a lot but VS is just instant)

[cinder spruce]

when i exit run time and hit play again, the values are equlized

[languid spire]

10 minutes? Some people don't manage to do it in 10 days

[cunning rapids]

I'm good with computers

I guess?

Not a good programmer tho, evidently 😅

[verbal dome]

I would use Visual Studio but it just doesn't like my hardware I guess. Constant freezes and slowdowns so I settle with VSCode
And I have a decent PC, mid-high tier

[cunning rapids]

Although I think for VS you need the VS package from the unity editor you're using

[cunning rapids]

My laptop can run VS and it has like 4 GB RAM

[cunning rapids]

Which I don't have

Idk how to install it

[verbal dome]

Yeah my PC should be able to handle it, not sure what is wrong

[cunning rapids]

Specs?

[timber tide]

May need clarify what is the behaviour of it right now and what you want it to do. If you want to change the values in the editor then you need to expose the fields using [SerializeField]

[verbal dome]

3700X, 16GB ram

[cunning rapids]

DDR4?

[languid spire]

best do this

void Start()
    {
        // Add event listeners for button clicks
        AddButtonClickListeners(healthButtonsParent);
        AddButtonClickListeners(speedButtonsParent);
        AddButtonClickListeners(damageButtonsParent);
 
        LoadPlayerStats();
    }

in Awake not start

[verbal dome]

My project is pretty huge though and it did complain about that at some point. Should try with a new project maybe and see if it makes a difference

[cinder spruce]

all of it, or just LoadPlayerStats(); ?

[cunning rapids]

Your specs should be more than enough 😭

[languid spire]

4gb is nowhere near enough, you should have 8 or 16 at least

[cunning rapids]

Evidently not

[languid spire]

all of it

[timber tide]

im at 16 too and unity + vs + windows is like 12 gigs, I'mma need to upgrade my stuff soon

[cunning rapids]

What packages are y'all installing tf

[languid spire]

if you have only 4gb you are using virtual memory which is disk based so very slow

[cunning rapids]

It's fine

I'll clear out my extensions and configure VSC if things go south

Just like I did last time

[verbal dome]

My main issue with VS was opening the search menu in some files just made it freeze or ultra slowdown

[cunning rapids]

Had lot of bloatware floating around anyway

[languid spire]

double your memory, you will see the difference believe me

[cunning rapids]

I'm aware. It isn't expensive either, but I've had my laptop for a decade and it's pretty beat up. Pretty hard to change the specs

I can buy a new one but this works just fine

[timber tide]

unity has been doing to this to me too recently so I should probably start cleaning up my projects

[cunning rapids]

With my "S" keycap being detached and half the screws on the case missing, thing still chugs along and runs most indie games at well over 120 Fps

And titles like TF2 which is my favorite shooter

[verbal dome]

You mean unity gets slow when you try to search something in unity?

[cunning rapids]

If I want to play anything AAA I just have my console

[cinder spruce]

Daamn, it worked! God i have been working on this for hours. I can't thank you enough man, you always help me. I really appreciate it 🙏

[turbid lantern]

does anybody knowhow I can access the properties of a rigidbody through the script?

[turbid lantern]

Titan Fall 2 reference

[cunning rapids]

Team Fortress 2

[timber tide]

yeah, like even just for thumbnails the thing crawls to a snail

[languid spire]

remember script execution order

[cunning rapids]

Titanfall would blow my laptop to shit

[turbid lantern]

same

[cunning rapids]

Amazing storyline tho

[turbid lantern]

anyway how do I access the properties of something through a script?

like the drag of a rigidbody

[verbal dome]

Do you know how to get a reference to the rigidbody?

[turbid lantern]

yeah

I have that

I just dont know how to access the properties under it

[verbal dome]

rigidbody.mass = 123; for example

Nothing special about it

(You replace rigidbody with your variable name here ofc)

[thorn iron]

So the manager doesn't need a GameObject and can do FixedUpdates?
Well, the List<Something> instances will be changed throughout the game, so I need to add and delete some instance.

For the time, I thought something like this?
I wish that every class that inherit Entity, would FixedUpdate their list of buff (buffs)

public abstract class Entity : MonoBehaviour
{
    public Buffs buffs;

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

    public void FixedUpdate()
    {
        buffs.UpdateBuffs();
    }
}


public class Stella : Entity
{
    // Start is called before the first frame update
    public override void Awake()
    {
        buffs = new Buffs(...);
    }

}


public class Buffs
{
    public List<Buff> buffList;

    // Constructor
    public Buffs( ... )
    {
        buffList = ...;
    }
    
    // Method
    public void UpdateBuffs()
    {
        ... // I decrease a TimeValue by 1 for each buff.  
    }
}

[turbid lantern]

alr thnx

[verbal dome]

Currently, Stella will use the FixedUpdate of its parent class (Entity)

So it will indeed update its buffs list

[thorn iron]

Thank you for confirmation

[verbal dome]

Your intellisense would've probably already loaded if you had more RAM

[short hazel]

Given that Windows itself recommends having 4gb for its own OS, you're in for a bad time with win11

[languid spire]

yeah, lol, but look at what your ssd is doing

[cunning rapids]

Yes, that's basically the biggest issue

[verbal dome]

Disk at 56%

[fickle plume]

@cunning rapids No off-topic media, please

[cunning rapids]

All good 😅

Anyways, my case is getting pretty hot

VS works fine but I'd rather use VSC

Maybe check whether the panel is activated for the first time or if it's being reactivated

You can use a bool flag

ensure that the targetPosition is set only during the first activation of the panel, and subsequent activations will retain the existing targetPosition

[cunning rapids]

This could be a cheap solution

private bool FirstActive = true;

private void OnEnable()
{
    InitializeScrolling();
}

private void InitializeScrolling()
{
    if (isFirstActivation)
    {
        targetPosition = contentPanel.anchoredPosition;
        FirstActive = false;
    }
}

[lucid patio]

it seems like the snap functionality is not being properly reinitialized when the panel is activated for the second time.

[cunning rapids]

I could be completely wrong tho since it's hard for me to visualize the problem

[lucid patio]

Would images help?

[cunning rapids]

Images, videos

ANything

Besides there are some much more seasoned veterans here that can help as well 😭

I'm not the best when it comes to coming up with solutions

[cunning rapids]

Try this maybe

[honest haven]

    {
        if (_target)
        {
            Debug.Log("Player found");
            Vector3 direction = (_target.position - transform.position).normalized;
            float angle = Mathf.Atan2(direction.x, direction.z) * Mathf.Rad2Deg;
            Quaternion rotation = Quaternion.Euler(0, angle, 0);
            _rigidbody.rotation = rotation;
            moveDirection = direction;
        }
    }

    private void FixedUpdate()
    {
        if (_target)
        {
            _rigidbody.velocity = new Vector3(moveDirection.x, moveDirection.y, moveDirection.z) * moveSpeed;
        }
    }``` trying to make an npc follow player. the npc does rotate but does not move

[cunning rapids]

private void FixedUpdate()
{
    if (_target)
    {
        _rigidbody.velocity = new Vector3(moveDirection.normalized.x, 0, moveDirection.normalized.z) * moveSpeed;
    }
}
```Normalize your moveDirection

Oh damn

Sorry man I don't really know how to help witht his issue

I'll try think of something

Although I think some people here would notice the problem and help as well

Just not many active rn

[potent garnet]

How do you make the rotation radius smaller when using the RotateAround method?

[honest haven]

Thanks

[gray lintel]

How do i make any gameobject instantiated from default tiles to save changes made to them during edit mode? I am able to instantiate gameobject using tiles in the tilemap and rotate them using "GetInstantiatedObject(position)" but when i go into play mode those changes are neglected, i think it is because it re-instatiates the gameobject and thus removes any changes made to it. I though of instantiating them using the prefab itself but i heard that it would be less performant, especially when dealing with a large amount of gameobjects which is the case. If more info is needed i can provide

[summer stump]

Your claim at the end is incorrect. Use a prefab and read its position
If you need performance, make an object pooler

[gray lintel]

thank you for the help, i am not claiming, i am a little confused about how this works hence why i am having trouble, i also am having trouble finding more information about it to educate myself

[rich egret]

HI! its possivel to set tag to image??

[rare basin]

you set tag to game objects

image is a component that is assigned to a game object

[shy ruin]

Can anybody help with me with making a random maze generation system, I could acomplish this, but I also need some random rooms placed in the maze, like maybe a office room, or a big courtyard. I just can't figure out how I would put it down in the maze, get rid of walls that are overlapping it, and connect it by doors. Can anybody please help?

[rare basin]

ask exact questions

[shy ruin]

Ah, let me make it exact, how I would I place rooms in a maze without them overlapping?

[rare basin]

in what meaning overlapping

offset each room position

so they dont overlap

[shy ruin]

So, I have a maze right, and I need to like slap down a courtyard in the middle, and of course that would overlap the maze walls, so how would I fix that?

[gray lintel]

i am not sure how object pooling would help me, i am trying to make a map using tilemap and tiles, the tiles are to instatiate the gameobjects by using their prefabs and then instantiating them with their right rotations, i am using only 5 tiles to do this, i am just having trouble making the rotation changes made to the instatiated gameobjects persist in play mode.

if (logic.addScore()) i assume addScore() is a void type function

and you are using it like a bool function

[livid oracle]

it isnt working for some reason i've tried to fix it, it worked yesterday but it's not working today

[rare basin]

it's required to have ide configured in order to get help here

[summer stump]

Then pooling is not necessary. You brought up performance and instantiating many objects, so I brought it up

Just instantiate the prefab, cache the reference to the instance, and read the values from the instance

[deep quarry]

Vector3 startPos = new Vector3(transform.position);

Why do I get the 'Vector3' does not contain a constructor that takes 1 arguments error? Isn't transform.position a Vector3?

nvm, i am dumb

Vector3 startPos = transform.position; obv

[west sonnet]

I have a method that's being called on a Collision Trigger. Is it possible to stop the method from being played again while it's playing, even if there is another collision trigger?

Basically, I've got an enemy that can punch. The enemy will detect when the player is in front of them, but I don't want the player to be able to punch again when it is mid-punch

[rare basin]

if(isPunching) return

[west sonnet]

Where would I place that?

[rare basin]

you should have some bool determining if enemy is already being punched

or not

and only apply punch logic, if he isn't already punched

[faint osprey]

how do you instantiate something so that it doesnt become a child of the transform you want it to instantiate at

[rare basin]

don't set the parent argument thne

[faint osprey]

but i need to so it spawns in at right pos

[rare basin]

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

you can pass position as a parameter

public static Object Instantiate(Object original, Vector3 position, Quaternion rotation);

[gray lintel]

yea i did as an alternative instead of using tiles, because i really wanted it to work as tiles instead because everything else i coded using tiles and it would be an hassle to have to change things just for the gameobjects but if that is the case then i guess i will have to not use tiles or custom tiles for the gameobject instatiation and instead do the normal gameobject instatiation way using my custom brush.

[faint osprey]

ive done that but it still attaches to the transform

[rare basin]

how did you do it

[faint osprey]

spawnedBullets.Add(Instantiate(bullet, new Vector3(spawnPos.position.x, spawnPos.position.y, spawnPos.position.z), Quaternion.Euler(0, 0, 180)));

[rare basin]

it's not parenting anything there

so the parenting happens in other place

you can just do spawnPos.position btw

instead of breaking it to new Vector3(x,y,z)

[tender hound]

how do i resize gameobjects to screen size? i have a static board which i draw on the tilemap but i wanted to make it playable for tablet and phone or do i need to make different games ?

[rare basin]

this is a code related channel

[summer stump]

Then use tiles, cache it, and read the values from it. I'm confused

[tender hound]

so should i go to ui?

[rare basin]

idk, not in code

[tender hound]

if u dont know then dont say its the wrong channel

[rare basin]

but it is the wrong channel, so wdym @tender hound

[warm anvil]

Good afternoon Fen. Quick question for you on these two pieces of code you have. Are you using the Player Input component and if so, are you setting the Behavior to Unity Events or C# Events. Thanks

[rare basin]

it depends on how do you want to handle your input events

via unity events or c# events

[gray lintel]

Ok, so i paint the tiles using my custom brush, then i rotate the gameobjects that each gameobject tile instatiates during edit mode because it is way more efficient than having all the tiles orientations, but the rotations dont apply in play mode, it only works in edit mode. You keep telling me to cache it and read the value, in this situation where do i do that? In my custom brush?

[west sonnet]

In Unity2D, what would be the best way to create an punching animation? It's on a person that doesn't have arms, so just a floating hand, Rayman style

[rare basin]

this is a code related channel

[summer stump]

Ok, yeah I misunderstood what you were saying. I would ask in #🖼️┃2d-tools

[west sonnet]

Couldn't you do it via code?

[warm anvil]

@swift crag Based on other reading I'm doing as well, your code rather sounds like it was fit for Unity Events. The two pieces of code you provided seem to be two separate pieces of a jigsaw puzzle so I'm sure there's parts that don't link together or demonstrate how the event is fired was all so I figured I'd ask

[rare basin]

do what via code? entire animation?

no

[summer stump]

Yeah, if you want to have the separate object move via code, you can

[west sonnet]

It's 1 sprite and it would be a hand flying towards and backwards from the player

[gray lintel]

i will try, i tried it before there and nobody answered, thanks anyways.

[west sonnet]

The fist is a seperate object to the body

[rare basin]

so moving the object, not doing a animation like you said

[west sonnet]

My bad

[rare basin]

i'd just use DOTween

[short hazel]

Judging the message you're replying to, that would be no. InputActionReference would be the type of your class variable, that will appear in the script's Inspector. You can drag your Input Actions asset in it, and select a specific action

[summer stump]

I would try to simplify the way you were asking, it was pretty confusing to me honestly

[gray lintel]

gotcha

[rare basin]

in your Punch() method or whatever you have, just move the object that is supposed to be punched

DOLocalMove(endPosition, duration)

you can then assign stuff like

[warm anvil]

ty SPR2, so it's fit more for C# Events?

[rare basin]

DOLocalMove(endPosition, duration).OnStart(() => isPunching = true).OnComplete(() => isPunching = false);

[west sonnet]

This is what my game is going to be like. The hands rotation follows the players position. Ignore the hand flying forward when it touched the player, it's not meant to be like that

[short hazel]

Using an input action reference allows you to subscribe to the C# events yes.

[west sonnet]

Hmmm okay, I'll give it a go. Thank you

[cunning rapids]

Yo guys is dotNET SDK 8.0 active?

[short hazel]

Not for Unity

[west sonnet]

When I do this, the hand moves upwards, instead of towards the player

[rare basin]

then your endPosition is wrong

[cunning rapids]

Why not? Also, if not, what SDK environment should I use?

[rare basin]

remember that's it's local position, not world

[west sonnet]

I created a SerializeField, put my player into it and then as my endPosition, I put player.transform.position

[rare basin]

That is world position

[west sonnet]

Hmmmmmmm what exactly would be the difference?

[rare basin]

And you are using local move function

[west sonnet]

Ooh okay

[rare basin]

DOMove, DOLocalMove

[cunning rapids]

Guys what the hell

[short hazel]

It's just not supported. Unity uses the old Mono backend. Work is in progress to get it working with the Core CLR which modern .NET runs on.
If you're configuring your code editor, follow the guide.
If you're making a managed plugin (DLL), the documentation has instructions on how to create a compatiable one

[cunning rapids]

I installed .NET SDK 6.0 but the folder didn't appear in the C:\Program Files (x86)\dotnet\shared\ folder

Only 5.0.something

Wait I'll try to repair the installation

[swift crag]

InputActionReference fields do not need the PlayerInput component at all. However, the PlayerInput component does enable the action map for you, so it’s fine to keep it around.

[short hazel]

Not sure how any of this will fix it. Unity does not use modern .NET

[swift crag]

Oh, I was thinking about the wrong code.

[short hazel]

You're stuck with .NET Framework 4.8 (max) or .NET Standard (2.x)

[cunning rapids]

Ffs

[cunning rapids]

Unity runs fine

I'm trying to reconfigure VSC

[swift crag]

The example still was not using PlayerInput. It used the “Generate C# Class” class.

[west sonnet]

I'm getting this weird behaviour now. I'm guessing it's because the hand is parented to the body and when the body moves, it goes weird?

[short hazel]

That should have been mentioned in the original post.

[swift crag]

I’m doing errands right now so I’m not really here; you should ask me about this in #🖱️┃input-system later

[cunning rapids]

I installed it through the link

[short hazel]

A restart or logout/login is required to apply changes made by the installer

Once done, run dotnet --list-sdks in the command line to list installed versions

[cunning rapids]

This is my directory of the .dotnet folder

[cunning rapids]

Elaborate?

On the computer?

[short hazel]

Of course

What else would you want to restart, your microwave?

[cunning rapids]

That's... pretty fucking stupid

[cunning rapids]

I'm not saying your claim is stupid I'm saying the fact that I ahve to do that to install the SDK is stupid

[short hazel]

Once it's installed

Tha PATH is updated and a reload is needed

[summer stump]

You can go and manually set the PATH if you want

[cunning rapids]

But the directory shows it's installed in the .dotnet folder

[summer stump]

Or the restart does it automatically

[short hazel]

.NET is not installed in your user folder

It's in C:\Program Files\dotnet\sdk

But using the command line to check is easier

[cunning rapids]

I see them

[warm anvil]

noted, ty

[earnest atlas]

Im confused? whats it is complaning about?

[SerializeField] private GameObject _heartPrefab;
[SerializeField] private GameObject _gemPrefab;
public int MaxHealth = 3;
public int CurrentHealth;
private readonly int _score = GameController.Instance.Score;
private int _scoreMemory = 0;

private void Start()
{
    CurrentHealth = MaxHealth;
    CreateHearts();
    
}```

[half patrol]

is

private GameObject attack;

same as

private GameObject attack = default;

?

[warm anvil]

is
private readonly int _score =
correct?

[short hazel]

Is GameController.Instance.Score creating a game object if it doesn't exist?

[earnest atlas]

No it shouldnt?

Its created before Health object

[short hazel]

That's pretty much the only line that could cause the error

[earnest atlas]

Yeah I moved it to a different place and now its fine

[short hazel]

Show how GameController's Instance is made

[earnest atlas]

private static GameController _instance;
private bool _isPaused;
public PlayerControls PlayerControls;
public int Score = 0;

void Start()
{
    PlayerControls = new PlayerControls();
}
public static GameController Instance
{
    get
    {
        if (_instance != null) return _instance;
        var gameControllerObject = new GameObject("GameController");
        _instance = gameControllerObject.AddComponent<GameController>();
        DontDestroyOnLoad(gameControllerObject);
        return _instance;
        ```

[honest haven]

https://gdl.space/idawihiwec.cs i am a bit confussed why the npc chases me when the bool _canChase is false

[short hazel]

That creates an object

new GameObject("GameController")

Unity doesn't like when you do that in a field declaration. Accessing GameManager.Instance runs the code in the get, which creates the object if that's not been done yet

[cunning rapids]

Anything can be a microwave if you try hard enough

So the joke's on you

Because my laptop is already a microwave in on itself

[short hazel]

Sure with enough voltage you can make anything emit pretty nasty EM waves

[cunning rapids]

Wouldn't be very healthy though

[short hazel]

But it's out of scope of this Unity server

[cunning rapids]

For crying out loud

I already reinstalled

I checked the directory and it did in fact have the required SDKs

I'll try manually changing PATH

[short hazel]

Spelling mistake

[cunning rapids]

First command, yes

Check the first screenshot

Didn't output anything

Alright should work now

Let me check

I'm making progress

@short hazel Progress. It's a different error now :)

Kill me

[frosty hound]

@tough mortar Don't crosspost. DOTs questions belong in #1062393052863414313

[cunning rapids]

@short hazel Why is the required dll missing?

[short hazel]

Who knows? Did you check the first error about the nonexistent path?

[ornate olive]

what should i use to replace time.deltatime

[rich adder]

why

[rare basin]

why would you do that

there is no replacement for that

[cunning rapids]

The first error is gone

[rare basin]

do you know what is time.deltatime?

you can use unscaled delta time

[cunning rapids]

deltaTime calculates time in between frames

Time is fixed

[ornate olive]

he told me lol idk

[honest haven]

            _rigidbody.velocity = new Vector3(velocity.x, _rigidbody.velocity.y, velocity.z);``` what can i do about this the longer he chases me the faster he gets i want his speed to be constant to what i set moveSpeed too

[tough mortar]

Osteel

[cunning rapids]

Interval in seconds between the last frame and the current frame

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Time-deltaTime.html

Unlike Time, which is just fixed

[rich adder]

yes because you dont need it with rigidbodies since it already applies Physics update time

[rare basin]

that was not a question, I asked the guy who asked it xd

i know what it is

[ornate olive]

so what should i take out from this code

[rich adder]

* Time.deltaTime

[cunning rapids]

Shit. My bad

[rich adder]

also gpt script

[ornate olive]

thx

[rich adder]

ideally you want to only grab inputs in Update and carry over to FixedUpdate

[honest haven]

would adding a ClampMagnitude be a good way to fix this

[rich adder]

whatis moveDirection

[wintry quarry]

you need to normalize moveDirection

[rich adder]

you prob aren't normalizing the moveDir

yup

[honest haven]

sorry cat turn pc of 2 secs

should have got a case with power button on its side lol

    {
        if (_canChase)
        {
            Vector3 direction = (_target.position - transform.position).normalized;
            float angle = Mathf.Atan2(direction.x, direction.z) * Mathf.Rad2Deg;
            Quaternion rotation = Quaternion.Euler(0, angle, 0);
            _rigidbody.rotation = rotation;
            moveDirection = direction;
        }
    }

    private void FixedUpdate()
    {
        if (_canChase)
        {
            Vector3 velocity = moveDirection * moveSpeed;
            _rigidbody.velocity = new Vector3(velocity.x, _rigidbody.velocity.y, velocity.z);
            SetAnimationState("Run");
        }
        else
        {
            _rigidbody.velocity = Vector3.zero;
            SetAnimationState("Idle");
        }
    }```

[rich adder]

they're unstoppable, one time my cat tipped a whole arizona ice tea can onto my desktop

funtime

[cunning rapids]

I have c# but not omnisharp?

[honest haven]

i normalized the rotation under update. do i need to also do it on the velocity?

[rich adder]

You dont need omnisharp

[cunning rapids]

You do for configuration

[rich adder]

the direction

[rich adder]

no you dont

[faint osprey]

how do i set a gameobjects velocity relative to its transform.right

[cunning rapids]

You... need intellisense

[rich adder]

Which comes from the Unity package + c# DevKIt

[cunning rapids]

I use vsc

[rich adder]

I get it

[cunning rapids]

So what do I do

Visual Studio Code guide

If your IDE is not underlining errors in red or autocompleting code,
please configure it using the link below:

https://on.unity.com/vscode

[rich adder]

make sure you did all the steps

[short hazel]

Latest C# extension does not use Omnisharp anymore, it's based on the C# Language Server which comes with the extension itself

[cunning rapids]

This one?

[rich adder]

yup

[cunning rapids]

Oh thank God

[honest haven]

yh direction is normalized

[cunning rapids]

I was about to have a panic attack

[rich adder]

oh ok so is the speed fixed ?

[honest haven]

no slowly speeds up over time.

[cunning rapids]

C# Dev Kit doesn't work for me

[rich adder]

wdym "doesn't work"

[honest haven]

also shakes or vibrates as it runs which is weird

[cunning rapids]

No Intellisense

[rich adder]

can you make short vid

[honest haven]

yes

[rich adder]

you didn't do all the steps then

[rich adder]

ok so install it

[cunning rapids]

I installed .NET SDK 6.0, 7.0 and 8.0

ALl of them

[rich egret]

Someone know how to do GetComponen but with ScriptableObject??

[rich adder]

refresh Project Files then

[cunning rapids]

Through unity?

Or...?

[honest haven]

so player speed is 8 and npc is 3 you can see that he slow creeps up and has some sort of vibrate issue aswell

[rich adder]

this is runtime not sdk

[rich egret]

Someone know how to do GetComponen but with ScriptableObject??

[rich adder]

yeah its def shaking

[languid spire]

A ScriptableObject is not a Component, so no. Use Resources.Load if you need to

[frosty hound]

You don't need to spam your question, you're not a child. SOs cannot have components.

[cunning rapids]

Oh shit

[rich egret]

thank!

[cunning rapids]

You're right

Can't believe I din't notice that

[rich adder]

you just need .net sdk 8

[cunning rapids]

Such a simple mistake

[cunning rapids]

Wait what

I already have that installed

[rich adder]

no need to get previous ones

alr jus grab sdk .net 8 then

[honest haven]

https://gdl.space/oyafemaxer.cs full code an components

[cunning rapids]

How

[rich adder]

wait rotation is frozen?

did you try without Y rot frozen?

i think it might be fighting the code

also rigidbody should be rotate with MoveRotation/rb.Rotation/AddTorque

[rich adder]

https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download/dotnet/8.0

[cunning rapids]

I uhm

Already did that...

[rich adder]

ok but you installed runtime

make sure it says SDK

restart PC after

[cunning rapids]

Dude

[rich egret]

למה אתה מתרגם את זה?

[rich adder]

no idea what this is supposed to show

[ornate olive]

how do i fix this

[cunning rapids]

That I have it installed

[rich adder]

fix your IDE

[rare basin]

byebye 😄

[rich adder]

did you restart PC ?

[cunning rapids]

Yes

I'll try again

[rich adder]

type in dotnet inside terminal/command line

[rare basin]

@frosty hound that's an insult btw, he called you a "motherf**er"

sorry for the ping

[frosty hound]

Do you want to correct that before I ban you or are you going to stick with it?

[ornate olive]

whats that sorry im knew?

[cunning rapids]

Just... read the error

[rich adder]

How to call on Trigger for 2d circle?

Also does it has OnTriggerEnter2D and OnTriggerExist2D?

[languid spire]

why don't you consult the docs first before asking basic questions here?

[rich adder]

what did you try

[earnest atlas]

So far looked it up and not sure if it works with it.

Atm trying to understand how to make Box Collider only trigger on Layer with player

[languid spire]

2D Sphere? Does such a thing even exist?

[cunning rapids]

Circle?

[earnest atlas]

Yeah tired atm

[cunning rapids]

OnTriggerEnter2D works

For triggers...

[earnest atlas]

Its apparently the only one so this why I couldnt find specifically for circle

[cunning rapids]

I'm pretty sure there aren't triggers for specific shapes bud

A trigger is a trigger

[rich adder]

yup

as long as it matches the collider being either 2D or 3D
eg
OnTriggerEnter2D for 2D colliders set as trigger, obv
OnTriggerEnter is for 3D colliders set as trigger.

[cunning rapids]

OnCollisionEnter2D and OnCollisionEnter are for 2D and 3D colliders that aren't triggers, respectively

[earnest atlas]

Whats better trigger or collision enter?

[rich adder]

they do different things

[polar acorn]

Are you trying to detect a trigger or a collider

[cunning rapids]

Nothing is objectively better

They have different fundamental uses

[earnest atlas]

Trigger is enough to make kill objects

I want something that detects player in some radius

Activly

[cunning rapids]

You can't PHYSICALLY collide with triggers

You can go through them

[earnest atlas]

Yeah I know that

[rich adder]

thats the same thing

Trigger is enough to make kill objects

[cunning rapids]

Both are enough..

[earnest atlas]

Yeah Ive got the idea, on trigger then with raycast

[late burrow]

how to trully determine if its better to use list of array

[rich adder]

only you know that

[earnest atlas]

Btw if I want real time transform data from different object, how should I do it? Just GameObject.Find?

[late burrow]

i dont know what changes what

[earnest atlas]

Or is there better way>

[rich adder]

Noooooooo

[late burrow]

i have option of making either 2 same arrays or 1 list

[uneven nacelle]

If I have a script to place an object to my cursor and a script when I click on an object to open a panel.

How can I get rid of the situation to open the panel when I place the object?

[languid spire]

that makes no sense

[late burrow]

one array just to determine size

[earnest atlas]

Just add the object as transform to the other entity?

[late burrow]

one for actual array

or i can just keep adding to list and have just one

[rich adder]

store the reference yes, preferably before playmode

[earnest atlas]

Shouldnt scene load delete all object on previus scene?

[frosty hound]

If you need a collection that changes size, then the obvious choice would be a list.

[late burrow]

yes but is changing size 1000 times wont be less optimal than just 2 arrays

static

static variables exist forever, shared between all instances

It doesn't matter how many Finish scripts you have on how many scenes, a static variable is created once and shared between everything forever

absolutely not

[cunning rapids]

don't use static unless you actually have a good reason why

I know the steps I just have some issues

with .NET

[polar acorn]

It has to be public to be accessed outside of the class

static is a completely different thing

not static

So reference the object properly

Tell it which Finish you want to change the levelCompleted of

https://unity.huh.how/references

You need to tell the code which Finish you want to access the value of

each one has its own copy of the variable

[warm anvil]

Back to my computer now. So if you don't mind me asking a few questions regarding Unity's new input system and Events

I'll start at the high-level then I can dig a little deeper to create a learning foundation.

When you add the new input system and add the Player Input component and decide at this point: Should I use Invoke Unity Events vs. Invoke C# Events in Behavior area (the attached picture). Is the choice basically "do you want to define the code and mapping of methods and events in the Unity Editor vs. directly in the code?"

[polar acorn]

What do you mean by "what type of reference"

[queen adder]

You can either use Unity Events or get a reference to the player input via code and listen for those events

[cunning rapids]

A reference just refers to an object in your project

Hence the name

[warm anvil]

thx @queen adder but more or less that's what I said, right?

[cunning rapids]

But... do you know what a Serialized reference is?

[queen adder]

Well yes whats ur question? Sorry I prolly missed it

[polar acorn]

Those are many different ways to reference things

use whichever one fits your situation

[cunning rapids]

Basically means you can assign private variables through the inspector

[warm anvil]

The question centers when you get to the Behavior drop down and is basically "do you want to define the code and mapping of methods and events in the Unity Editor vs. directly in the code?"

[queen adder]

Yes it's up to you?

[warm anvil]

aka is your practice to drag and drop objects and work more in teh editor vs. directly mapping it in the code rather than the editor

[queen adder]

Are you asking what most ppl use?

[warm anvil]

not necessarily what other people do but more direct about what that choice overall decides

[earnest atlas]

getComponentInChildren will get component of parent object or not?

I want access to animator to change animation

[queen adder]

Unity events use drag and drop via editor while the Invoke C# events will make you use code?

[warm anvil]

pretty much

[queen adder]

Yeah it's up to you

You just pick a option for the "Behaviour" and go from there

[polar acorn]

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

[earnest atlas]

I didnt actually need that cause I forgot the script Im working in is inside correct object

[queen adder]

If ur looking for where the events are for "invoke unity events" click on events right under the Behavior option on Player Input

[warm anvil]

ty. yup, that's pretty much the area that I'll reference next. As I mentioned, I'm starting slow to build a solid foundation of knowledge on it while getting comfortable with syntax especially when it comes to Events.

So moving a little deeper...

So if a tutorial to implement some feature shows they were using Invoke Unity Events (and had the mapping setup in the editor in the area you mentioned) and let's say I preferred (for now particular reason) to keep in the C# Events as the behavior choice.....

[queen adder]

It won't change anything

It's the same thing

[earnest atlas]

public void Detected() => _triggeredByPlayer = !
_triggeredByPlayer;

Is there better way to flip true and false?

[warm anvil]

Are the basic steps to "convert" from Invoke Unity Events to C# Events to have a reference to the Input system (mine happens to be called InputActions and to have at least these three methods to translate it?

    private InputActions _input;

    private void OnEnable()
    {
        _input = new InputActions();
        _input.Humanoid.Backpack.performed += HandleBackpack;
        _input.Humanoid.Enable();
    }

    private void OnDisable()
    {
        _input.Humanoid.Backpack.performed -= HandleBackpack;
        _input.Humanoid.Disable();
    }

    public void HandleBackpack(InputAction.CallbackContext context)
    {
        print(context.phase);

        if (context.performed)
        {
            print("Attack performed");
        }
    }

[queen adder]

Show the whole class

And that doesn't look right to me

[warm anvil]

me?

[rare basin]

dont use print

[queen adder]

Yes spring

[rare basin]

use Debug.Log

[queen adder]

It's the same thing

[rare basin]

no its not

[warm anvil]

using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.InputSystem;

public class InputSystemController : MonoBehaviour
{
    private InputActions _input;

    private void OnEnable()
    {
        _input = new InputActions();
        _input.Humanoid.Backpack.performed += HandleBackpack;
        _input.Humanoid.Enable();
    }

    private void OnDisable()
    {
        _input.Humanoid.Backpack.performed -= HandleBackpack;
        _input.Humanoid.Disable();
    }

    public void HandleBackpack(InputAction.CallbackContext context)
    {
        print(context.phase);

        if (context.performed)
        {
            Debug.Log("Attack performed");
        }
    }
}

[queen adder]

Yall be worried about such small details for no reason

[rare basin]

it's not a small detail 😉

you don't have a call stack with print

just an empty console message

[queen adder]

Oh OK thanks for the information 👍

[warm anvil]

but more or less those three methods are what it takes to convert from Invoke Unity Events vs. C# [and doing it yourself in code], right?

[queen adder]

I normally get a reference to play input and get the input actions from that

I'm on my phone so I might type this wrong

[warm anvil]

mind giving me an example please?

[queen adder]

I'm gonna code it give me one second

[polar acorn]

print literally just calls Debug.Log

[queen adder]

PlayerInput playerInput = Getcomponent<>();
InputAction action = playerInput.Actions["ActionName"]
}```

[polar acorn]

They're identical

[queen adder]

Documentation for the win!!

[rare basin]

ow good to know

thought its pure c# method

didint know unity overrides it

[summer stump]

The only difference is that print doesn't expose the second parameter of Debug.Log

[slender nymph]

print is a method on the MonoBehaviour class. it's not a "pure" c# thing

[scarlet skiff]

ok so if i have too many things of the same type collide with an object, it doesn't run its OnColliosnEnter method sometimes, what can I do to approach this?

[queen adder]

Did that help? @warm anvil

[rare basin]

so why did they split it into print and debug log

[polar acorn]

Incorrect

[rare basin]

couldn't just keep one?

[scarlet skiff]

well it ignores that method at least somtimes

[slender nymph]

they just added print to the MonoBehaviour class for simplicity's sake probably. all it does is call Debug.Log. there's no "split" happening, it's just a convenience method for when you are working inside of a MonoBehaviour

[scarlet skiff]

or thats the explanation i can come up with

[polar acorn]

Then something else is probably the case

[scarlet skiff]

well there is an if statement in there that doesnt have Destroy() in it, but i check there is no way the condiotons are true, just in case i removed it now and ill try and see

[warm anvil]

allow me to ask a couple follow-up questions so it sinks in.

What I typically notice when people place a GetComponent in the Awake method is so they don't need to click-drag that component in the Editor. Is that what the first line is accomplishing?

PlayerInput playerInput = Getcomponent<>();

[slender nymph]

of course it is not as good as just using Debug.Log because you are restricted to the single parameter overload of Debug.Log that only prints a message and cannot provide context to the log

[warm anvil]

If so, not sure I've seen it in that specific syntax

it might not be typed to what I'm used to since you said you were on your phone

[true heart]

if im using a list of prefabs to spawn things in and using the number where an item is as there id how can i then later using a prefab that was spawned in know what id they have?

[queen adder]

You have to reference PlayerInput

[visual hedge]

            for (int i = 0; i<StatusList.Count; i++)
            {
                    var go = Instantiate(BuffIcon, target.ui.BuffPanel.transform);
                    go.GetComponent<Image>().sprite = StatusList[i].SkillIcon;
            }

Let's say I have 5 instances of those BuffIcons, right? What is the best way to remove exactly the one I need to remove?
Doing buffs system and well, basically displaying the buffs above the hero head, when certain buff expires, it's icon shall disappear from the buff display above the head.
As far as I understand, the method above doesn't actually keep track of the object it instantiated. So I guess I have to somehow mark / name / etc the instantiated thingie for it to be able to be targeted, right?
So, please, any efficient suggestions?

[polar acorn]

Store them in a dictionary, keyed by the int, then you can access that instance by that key

[queen adder]

And yes that syntax is wrong

[polar acorn]

Same thing I just answered to someone else, add them to a dictionary as you spawn them, then you can find them by that key

[queen adder]

PlayerInput playerInput = GetComponent<PlayerInput>();

[timber tide]

embrace dictionary

[queen adder]

You just need to add the type

@warm anvil

[warm anvil]

what I figured, ty!

[visual hedge]

oh... wouldn't the dictionary be advanced coding already? 😄 I mean I have to enjoy learning the dictionary thing, but damm... I am not in mood right now 🙂 Any easier way please?

[timber tide]

iterate

[polar acorn]

A dictionary is in no way advanced

[true heart]

uhh sorry im not to good at coding im not sure what that means or how i woudl do that

[rich adder]

no dictionary is important

as a basic

[polar acorn]

https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/c-sharp-dictionary-with-examples/

[rich adder]

the only shite is that Unity doesn't serialize them

you cannot view them in inspector without workarounds

[warm anvil]

How about this line you said:

InputAction action = playerInput.Actions["ActionName"]

Is the the purpose of that and does that potentially replace one of these three methods in my code?

    private void OnEnable()
    {
        _input = new InputActions();
        _input.Humanoid.Backpack.performed += HandleBackpack;
        _input.Humanoid.Enable();
    }

    private void OnDisable()
    {
        _input.Humanoid.Backpack.performed -= HandleBackpack;
        _input.Humanoid.Disable();
    }

    public void HandleBackpack(InputAction.CallbackContext context)
    {
        if (context.performed)
        {
            Debug.Log("Attack performed");
        }
    }

[west sonnet]

I've got this bit of code here which I'm using to get the enemy to punch the player. How can I get the enemies fist to return after being pushed into the player?

Right now, the enemy just pushes their fist into the player

[rare basin]

where do you call the EnemyPunch?

[timber tide]

well, you need a point where you decide to recall it

[visual hedge]

okaay... okayy... then going to get into that topic and will actually learn to do it 🙂 Thank you and @rich adder thank you too

[rare basin]

you can use OnComplete() from dotween

[west sonnet]

In Update, but I have a bool that stops it from being called every frame

so it's called every 2 seconds instead

[queen adder]

I'm at work spring

[rare basin]

transform.DOMove(Player.transform.position, 1f)
.OnComplete( () => 
{
  // return after completing
});

@west sonnet

[warm anvil]

no problem, I understand ofc

[scarlet skiff]

ok so i found the problem, its the hasNotInteracted = false;
originally, it is set to true, then once the fireball has interacted, it is set to false, this is so when its reflected, it cant hurt the player if they touch, the problem seems to be that the method is actually run too many times, cuz besides the reflection thing, this hasNotInteracted = false; was mainly a solution to a problem where a fireball (single) managed to do 2 damage instead oif one, which means it decrementet the hp twice, which could only happen if the method was run twice

[west sonnet]

But what code would I use to get it to return to it's original position?

[slender nymph]

https://dotween.demigiant.com/documentation.php#creatingSequence

[rare basin]

store the initial position

then do the same you do, but to the original position

[timber tide]

could use a curve too if you want fancy movement

[rare basin]

var initialPosition = transform.position;

transform.DOMove(Player.transform.position, 1f)
.OnComplete(() => 
{
    transform.DOMove(initialPosition, 1f)
});

you can also set different eases by .SetEase() etc

[queen adder]

Someone else can prolly help u spring sorry @warm anvil

[warm anvil]

no need to apologize. ty for your help so far. have a great rest of the day!

[west sonnet]

Why does this not work?

[rare basin]

transform

not Transform

[west sonnet]

I tried that too, also didn't work

Do I have to put it in Start()?

[rare basin]

put it before you call the move tween

like i showed you

[west sonnet]

Ooh I see

In the same method

[polar acorn]

Transform is a class. The concept of the Transform component does not have a position

individual object's transforms do

[west sonnet]

but if I did transform.position, wouldn't that give me the position of the gameobject the script is attached to?

the problem is some fireballs are dealing twice the amount of dmg unless i add hasNotInteracted which then leads to them not getting destroyed

[polar acorn]

Yes

[slender nymph]

yes, it's also the same object that is being moved

[little cradle]

hi, how do I correctly make a list count condition?

I'm just trying to do this:

            Debug.Log(keyframes.Count);
            if (keyframes.Count > 1) Debug.Log("HUH");

but even though the keyframes.Count is 0, the condition is met for some reason :[

[wintry quarry]

You can call position on any Transform you wish

[wintry quarry]

Looks ok other than weird formatting and a suspicious lack of curly braces that would work for this contrived example but probably not your real code

[polar acorn]

If that "Huh" log is printed, then the count of keyframes is greater than 1

[earnest atlas]

If I have an object with children, and I want those chidlren not to move when parent does.

Do I need to add Static Rigid Body to them?

[polar acorn]

That's what child objects do

[wintry quarry]

Don't make them children

[polar acorn]

If you don't want them to move with the parent, they should not be child objects

[little cradle]

yup, exactly what I think is supposed to happen, but apparently it doesn't work like that, the count is 0, but it still is printing the "huh" as if the count was greater than 1

[polar acorn]

If the code looks like that, it is utterly impossible for both 0 and "HUH" to come sequentially.

[little cradle]

welp I guess it's my fault somewhere then, I'll check

Hello, is it possible to make a switch statement of a vector? if so what could be a valid case?

[silver heron]

guys i want to create 3D games but i have no knowledge about game dev. Should i start with 2D at first?

[slender nymph]

why

[warm anvil]

I'd at least recommend starting with 2D. There seems to be more youtube videos on covering the basics and then you can grow from there

[silver heron]

okay thank you 😄

[slender nymph]

there is literally no reason to start with 2d if you only want to make 3d games. the programming concepts are the same and there are thousands of tutorials/courses for learning both

[polar acorn]

2D isn't "3D but easier" they're essentially the exact same thing

[silver heron]

i thought it could be easier to start with

[polar acorn]

It's just different physics components and a different camera projection

[silver heron]

so start with 3D?

[polar acorn]

Start with whatever you want

[silver heron]

alright thanks!

[timber tide]

2D assets harder than 3D

[silver heron]

good to know haha

[timber tide]

unless you like drawing frame by frame

[silver heron]

nah thanks 😄

void MoveTowardsWaypoint()
{
    var targetPosition = _wayPoints[_currentWayPoint].position;
    transform.position = Vector2.MoveTowards(transform.position, targetPosition, _currentSpeed * Time.deltaTime);
}

Any idea why this is not moving an object towards position?

It looks like its working (looking like working at least)

[earnest atlas]

Move destroy before check?

[scarlet skiff]

uhh wdym?

[earnest atlas]

I mean is object getting destroyed when it deals dmg?

[polar acorn]

What calls MoveTowardsWaypoint

[earnest atlas]

FixedUpdate

that's not the purpose of FixedUpdate

[earnest atlas]

I might have gotten lost and added it therre

[timber tide]

fixedupdate can work but you also multiply by deltatime in your step

so there's inconsistency

[slender nymph]

putting that in FixedUpdate is perfectly fine. it just runs on the FixedUpdate timestep instead of every single frame

[rare basin]

yes and i believe this is not theirs desired goal

[west sonnet]

If I move while the enemy is mid-punch, it messes up the position of their fist and I can't figure out how to fix it. Can anyone help me please?

[slender nymph]

Time.deltaTime returns Time.fixedDeltaTime when called from FixedUpdate

[west sonnet]

Here's my code that handles the fist movement

[earnest atlas]

https://paste.ofcode.org/sj8ajaf3nFKgxrnPSt4fzX

[rare basin]

it's auto converting

[timber tide]

oh shoot that's pretty cool then

[rare basin]

better to cache that 0.5f into a variable you can modify in the inspector

more designer friendly approach

[polar acorn]

You are also setting the position in Update.

[amber spruce]

how do i refernce a scene?

[timber tide]

I use movetowards with fixedupdate for my own physics stuff

[polar acorn]

Whichever one runs last wins

[earnest atlas]

I forgor that

Need to remove X movement

[amber spruce]

i tried making a variable public Scene but it doesnt show in the inspector

[earnest atlas]

Wait no

That is not working atm

[west sonnet]

Thanks, will do. Any ideas on how I could prevent the hand position getting messed?

[polar acorn]

You cannot reference a scene in the inspector

[amber spruce]

dang really

[rare basin]

i have no idea what "gettin messed" means

[amber spruce]

so do i just have to make a new script each time i want a cutscene to do a different scene

[earnest atlas]

I think issue is floatingmovement

[west sonnet]

The hand position is changed if I move when the enemy is mid-punch. It doesn't return back to it's initial position relative to the enemies body

[rare basin]

becaues you are overriding the hand position somewhere else

and it's intefering the ongoing tween

[scarlet skiff]

pls 🥺

[west sonnet]

The hand is parented to a hand pivot. That hand pivot has a script that makes it's rotation follow the player position

That's the only thing I can think of

Or that the enemy is moving while punching

and so the hand returns to it's initial world position, instead of relative to the enemy's body (parent object)

[slender nymph]

cache its local position and use DOLocalMove instead of DOMove

[west sonnet]

How could I cache the local position?

[slender nymph]

the same way you do its world position but using the localPosition property instead

[west sonnet]

Hmmm that's not working because now the hand keeps thrust more and more backwards

i literally showd you this 1 hour ago with all code needed

[rare basin]

because you are using DOLocalMove and you pass world position as endValue parameter

[west sonnet]

What's an endValue parameter?

[vague dirge]

Hello, I have a blend tree for my animations that contains the walk and run cycle of my character (among others), and how can I do a smooth transition between the animations when assigning a value to the blend tree (it directly switches from walk to run without transitioning as in the classic Animator) ?

[slender nymph]

#🏃┃animation

[vague dirge]

Sorry

[rare basin]

eh.. back to the first step

the first paraemeter you pass to DOMove/DOLocalMove

[slender nymph]

maybe some day we'll see their current code so we can actually point to the specific issue with it instead of trying to guess what they need to do/change

[rare basin]

that's too easy

[west sonnet]

I'm using DOMove. The initial position I am doing locally, but the player (target) position, I am doing in world

is that correct?

[rare basin]

no

if you use DOMove then operate entirely on world position

why do you mix it

initial pos as local, and target pos as world - big no no

either world or local, dont mix it

[west sonnet]

I see, THank you.

[earnest atlas]

Is there a way to flip sprite without flipping axys?

[slender nymph]

rotate it or use one of the Flip<axis> properties on the SpriteRenderer

[rare basin]

why do you ask such questions for couple of days now

you can google them all in 10 seconds

[earnest atlas]

You have people here with almost 0 skills in C# asking basic questions. Me asking rarely something that I dont know if even exist wont kill you

[rare basin]

sure, was just wondering

[languid spire]

google first, ask second

[earnest atlas]

I throw the question just incase I dont find it beforehand. At same time Im looking it up.

[rare basin]

respect your and our time

and don't do it

you might find the answer, and in the meantime someone is writing you the answer on discord (and wasthing his time, because you already found the answer somewhere else)

[earnest atlas]

well that didnt work cause that did exactly SAME Thing

It flips transform

[wintry quarry]

This is an XY question

just put the renderer on a child object\

[rare basin]

always separate your graphics from logic

[wintry quarry]

You can then do whatever you want with it and it won't affect anything else

[earnest atlas]

amount of rewrite I have to do omg

[wintry quarry]

Rewriting code is a normal part of the development process

everything in the game typically gets rewritten 3-5 times before release

[earnest atlas]

Issue is not borking it while moving logic

[rare basin]

what's borking

[earnest atlas]

Breaking everything cause you didnt think of needing to move logic

[rare basin]

that's the part of learning

need to fix old code/architecture

in order to progress and make your life easier

[earnest atlas]

Okey I changed 2 entire lines

Lets see if it explodes

[teal mantle]

Hello guys i have aproblem with the animation. In the follwing video you can see my character. After i run and stand still again the eyes of the character are bigger or just a litle different. But they are still animated. Anyone knows something to this?

[half patrol]

Hello, i made a simple attack and I ran in to an issue when OnTriggerEnter2D was detecting collision for only once. when 'enemy' is already inside the collider OnTriggerEnter2D was not triggered unless enemy RE-entered players collider. I fixed it by switching RigidBody2D's sleep mode to Never Sleep. I do not understand the connection between these. can someone explain please?

[timber tide]

if you want continuous collisional trigger callback then you use OnTriggerStay

[rare basin]

this is a code related channel

[teal mantle]

Oh, sorry. Do you know where i can post this?

[modest dust]

Not only the eye, but also other pixels are stretched as far as I can see. I may be wrong, but it's probably related to the camera, try adding Pixel Perfect Camera component, or search anything related to stretched pixels online. Also it's a code channel.

[rare basin]

in a proper channel for animations

[teal mantle]

Thank you, i will try that

[teal mantle]

Okay

[half patrol]

i want my sword to deal damage on click, not to take damage continiously while inside the collider

do you mind if i send you in DM a short screen video of what i am trying to tell you with my broken english?:D

[timber tide]

If it's a one time thing I'd just use overlap circle

[slender nymph]

i'd recommend using a physics query like an overlapbox or something for that instead of relying on physics messages

[timber tide]

otherwise may need to add your own cooldown inside of a trigger method

[half patrol]

i just follow a tutorial. i do not have any idea of other things YET

[half patrol]

how can i do that?

[teal mantle]

It worked, thank you very much

[timber tide]

either a timer to compare against, or add a flag that resets everytime a attack is completed (you would store those that were hit inside of a list which you clear after every attack)

[half patrol]

got it

thanks

[half patrol]

can you also tell me in example what does Sleep mode do for rigidbody2d?

[timber tide]

no clue

[rare basin]

you know you can just google it?

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Rigidbody2D.Sleep.html

[half patrol]

good fellow Xaxup. first rule of a programmer is to first google. so i did. i didnt found explanation uderstandable for my newbie gamdev brain so i decided to ask a good Mao to explain in a beginner section of this channel.

[earnest atlas]

Stackovefrow solutions sometimes are just bad. There were many ocasions when reccomended solution or no longer works or is explained so bad that you are even more confused then before

[half patrol]

true that. i rare use stackoverflow now. it has too many old solutions which doesnt work anymore

[earnest atlas]

Any idea why this happens? Its only with right side. It gets stuck there sometimes.

void MoveTowardsWayPointAndWobble()
{
    // Move towards the waypoint
    var direction = _wayPoints[_currentWayPoint].position - transform.position;
    transform.Translate(direction.normalized * _currentSpeed * Time.deltaTime);

    // Set sprite flip based on direction
    _sRenderer.flipX = Mathf.Sign(direction.x) > 0;

    // All in the name of looks
    // Fancy wobble
    var newY = _initialPosition.y + Amplitude * Mathf.Sin(Frequency * Time.time);
    transform.position = new Vector2(transform.position.x, newY);
}```

[wintry quarry]

What does "this" mean?

[earnest atlas]

You see log below

Its stuck at like 0.3 there

[ivory bobcat]

And where was the log done?

[earnest atlas]

bottom left

[ivory bobcat]

In code

[wintry quarry]

We don't even know what code is logging that or what that distance has to do with anything

[earnest atlas]

Thats distance to the point

[wintry quarry]

what is the code being shown and how is it related?

[earnest atlas]

It fees like it just loses all the speed

[wintry quarry]

The distance of what to what point?

[earnest atlas]

Thats movement

[ivory bobcat]

Perhaps the log is incorrect.

[earnest atlas]

Its suposed to go from one point to another. I have transform of 2 points and it goes from one point to another

Hmmm... I think its getting stuck on something?

[ivory bobcat]

Perhaps the points aren't correct (working blind here)

[rare basin]

what part exactly did you not understand from reading the Sleep() docs from rb2d?

[earnest atlas]

Im just gonna leave that voodoo bug

[slender nymph]

ah, employing the ol Ostrich Algorithm

[wintry quarry]

Isn't this the doc we care about? https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Rigidbody2D-sleepMode.html

[rare basin]

you have a null error

in your console

[earnest atlas]

Im not exactly sure whats it complaining about

[rare basin]

then check it?

[earnest atlas]

Well I just restarted it

But Im pretty sure that null is not to blame

[rare basin]

any error might lead to several issues (even not related to your main issue)

[earnest atlas]

No idea what broke here

[wintry quarry]

That's an internal Unity editor bug

[rare basin]

ah that's just unity being unity

clear it

[earnest atlas]

Yeah im not getting nulls

Im getting a stuck on a corner bird tho

[open apex]

Hello, quick question. I have been studying C# on Unity for a while. I am not expert, I have been following a basic series of tutorials. At this point would suggest me try to build my own game by watching specific tutorials or just keep on learning with tutorials? (maybe just code?)

[scarlet skiff]

in many games when u get hit, there is a brief period where u are invincible, usually with lower opacity to the character and blinking, is that usually an animaiton? cuz like the player can still do all the other movements, which require animations, so cant be, or do ppl do it via a method that use IEnumerator and StartCoroutine that delay setting the opacity back and forth to create a blinking effect

[woeful lagoon]

Hey guys, do prefabs keep their serialized assigned objects? (when spawned in)

It seems like It doesn't in my game

[scarlet skiff]

they dont

[slender nymph]

which require animations, so cant be,
yes it can. you can have multiple animation layers that control different things

[woeful lagoon]

How do I connect them

[rare basin]

animator override controller

[scarlet skiff]

u have to assing those objects to the spawner, then in the spawner use those objects to set the objects in the spawned object

[woeful lagoon]

I am spawning them in using hte network spawner

How would I do that

[slender nymph]

things assigned to the serialized fields of a prefab will still be assigned. if they are getting unassigned then it sounds like something you are doing in code is unassigning them

[scarlet skiff]

oh damn

[scarlet skiff]

do you know of any visual examples or videos of this

[timber tide]

can always start out with a simple game like platformer or flappy bird if you want to start getting into unity, but you should continue learning c# as you'll only get so far without it

[west sonnet]

Is it possible to have more than one OnTriggerEnter2D in a single script?

[woeful lagoon]

It doesn't let me add the camera in the searilized while in runtime

[slender nymph]

why would you need more than one?

[west sonnet]

Actually just thought about it, I don't think I would

[slender nymph]

prefabs and other assets cannot reference in-scene objects. pass the reference when it is instantiated
https://unity.huh.how/references/prefabs-referencing-components

[woeful lagoon]

I'm using a thing that's nested under the player, a camera, and spawning in the total player

[slender nymph]

then provide more details about what exactly you are doing and what exactly is happening that you are not expecting to happen

[woeful lagoon]

I am spawning in a network player, with a network object script under it, I have a camera that I need to activate and thus am using a script under the player, but when I spawn the charcter in the script fails to activate the camera likely due to the breaking of the seralized field

[west sonnet]

Does anyone know what this means? It appears when the player dies and the game is restarted

[slender nymph]

sounds like you aren't stopping the tween when the player is destroyed

[slender nymph]

see #854851968446365696 for what to include when asking for help. and as i've already described, serialized fields do not just "break" when you instantiate the object. it is likely something that you are doing in your code that breaks it.
also #archived-networking for networking related issues

[rare basin]

it's dotween safe mode

handling the null for you

you are doing a tween on a null object

[west sonnet]

Is it an issue I should fix or is it safe to ignore?

[woeful lagoon]

Alright

[rare basin]

it's better to fix it

[slender nymph]

do not ignore errors. fix it

[west sonnet]

I guess it's because the tween is one an enemy and the enemy is killed?

Wait no, the enemy isn't killed

How is the enemy becoming null when the game restartts?

[rare basin]

how do you know its the enemy causing that error?

[slender nymph]

didn't i already answer this?

[open apex]

👍

[west sonnet]

Because the enemy is the only object that has tween on it?

[rare basin]

okay, and how can i knew that?

[slender nymph]

and yet it is accessing the player's transform

[tawdry quest]

Dont think this is beginner related, its prolly more like general level as i didnt find anything on google

[west sonnet]

I didn't mean that in a sarcastic way, I just didn't know if that was right was of using Tween

[slender nymph]

either way, if either object is destroyed you probably need to restart kill the tween

[west sonnet]

as in, in that sentece

[elder osprey]

I am not sure what I am doing wrong, but for some reason the ground check i have set up is not working, the hit variable is constantly zeroed out, causing IsGrounded() to always be false. Here is my script: https://hastebin.com/share/etelupecez.csharp

I am using a spherecast

[west sonnet]

I have a bool that turns to false when the enemy is killed. The bool prevents the tween from working

[rare basin]

disable dotween's safe mode

then you will get normal unit null error reference

with call stack

[slender nymph]

does it stop the already running tween. or does it just prevent a new tween from starting

[rare basin]

it prevents it from starting again

[slender nymph]

because the issue is that you are likely not stopping the tween when the object is destroyed

[rare basin]

but are you killing the ongoing tween?

[west sonnet]

Yeah, I think so

[slender nymph]

show the code

[rare basin]

yes so that doesnt mean

its killing the ongoing tween

you just prevent from starting a new one

you can cache the tween

in Tween yourTween;

[west sonnet]

The bool turns to false when enemy dies

EnemyPunch() is in Update()

[rare basin]

it doesnt kill the tween

as i said multiple times

cache the tweens, and kill them in Destroy() method

[west sonnet]

How can I kill the tween?

[rare basin]

[scarlet skiff]

Recently added this script: https://paste.mod.gg/pfubmnhrmpat/4
Arrow script: https://paste.mod.gg/dttndxjinjmu/5

Error i get (no clue what it means):

[slender nymph]

you do not have a tag called Arrow

[scarlet skiff]

oh might have forgotten to add it

[west sonnet]

Would I destroy the method that the tween is inside of?

[slender nymph]

that sentence does not make any sense

[rare basin]

what do you mean by destroying the method

[scarlet skiff]

problem sovled, thanks

[rare basin]

there is no such thing as destroying a method

[west sonnet]

You can only destroy objects, right?

[wintry quarry]

In C# you can't destroy anything actually

[slender nymph]

you can only destroy UnityEngine.Objects

[slender nymph]

you should consider actually looking at the documentation for the asset you are using so we don't have to do it for you

[scarlet skiff]

can someone check this script and see if it makes sense tho: https://paste.mod.gg/pfubmnhrmpat/4

[rare basin]

that is a terrible idea to check things by name

[scarlet skiff]

i dont see anything wrong, but the method for fireball collision inst exactly doign anything

[slender nymph]

right off the bat i see you are basing logic on gameobject names which is a terrible idea

[rare basin]

also that Update() method is unreadable

[slender nymph]

use tags or check for components. do not compare the name

[rare basin]

break it into separate functions

[wintry quarry]

Have you learned to use Debug.Log?

[scarlet skiff]

ill pinpoint where the error goes exactly... 1 moment..

[open apex]

Why do I not have the choice to "Build"?

[slender nymph]

because you have a different platform than the one your project is set to selected. also not a code question

[scarlet skiff]

ok so it doesnt go deeper than 3rd layer, and im sure that the condition for the 4th layer is true, since in the fireball script it is set to true as base value and is never hcanged there, only in this script at 5th layer

[open apex]

where should I ask for help

[summer stump]

Debug the actual values

[scarlet skiff]

meaning it didnt assign Fireball fireball correctly?

I'm trying to add an object to a list on a specific index, how can I do it?, if I try to do e.g. myList.Insert(33, myObject) it gives me an error ArgumentOutOfRangeException: Index must be within the bounds of the List., am I doing it wrong, or does list not support doing it that way?

[wintry quarry]

What you have is correct

the error tells you exactly where you went wrong

[slender nymph]

well you have to insert it at a position that actually exists in the list. otherwise you can just append it to the end of the list using Add

[wintry quarry]

Also note the difference between inserting an element, adding an element, and setting an element.

[little cradle]

okay, so I think this might be an xy problem, so I want to make a keyframes list, and I want to put them in a specific time, my idea was to set the keyframes' index to the exact time so I could get "current and next" keyframes easily (just count from lower to higher index), so I'll instead ask, is there a better way, any documentation or something similar I can use/read or do?

[honest haven]

https://gdl.space/azavodopun.cs hi can some one please have a look and tell me if im using states correctly. Any just before i attack i get some animation flickering

[languid spire]

use an array instead of a list and set the array size to the number of keyframes

[west sonnet]

I'm trying to make a prefab of my enemy but when I do, the references in my scripts don't apply.

references to other objects

Is this not possible?

[slender nymph]

assets like prefabs cannot reference in-scene objects. pass the reference when the object is instantiated https://unity.huh.how/references/prefabs-referencing-components

[little cradle]

I haven't really ever used arrays, so how can I add values to the array "in runtime"?, I know I can set them on the declaration but I don't know how to set them somewhere else :[

[languid spire]

array[index] = value

[little cradle]

alr alr, tysm

[rare basin]

use List<>

if you want to dynamically manipulate the size

[rare basin]

you cannot add values to array in runtime

the array has fixed size

you can modify the existing indexes

[languid spire]

you are missing his point completely

[rare basin]

how can I add values to the array "in runtime"?,

so im answering

collision.gameObject.name

isnt really doing its job as a condition...

this script is attached to a player, the shield is a child of the parent player, so idk how to detect a collision between specifically the fireball and the shield..

[slender nymph]

remember how it was suggested to use tags or components rather than gameobject names?

also note that the collision.gameObject cannot both be a fireball and a shield if those are completely separate objects

[scarlet skiff]

well im only gonna have one shield

[scarlet skiff]

also i see the problem

im checking if the fireball is the shield, rather than if they are colliding

i have this script in another one and i forgot to chaneg that part, but then... how DO i check if they collided wit heach other?

[slender nymph]

in the shield you can check if it collided with a fireball. in the fireball you can check if it collided with a shield

you don't need to check both in each

[spring coral]

is there any way I can define some bounds without creating a collider?

[wintry quarry]

Define "bounds"?

what kind of functionality would these "bounds" have?

[scarlet skiff]

shame that its not possible to do it in the collision script but id have to go to the fireball,although i suppose it makes sense cuz id need to use the OnCollision method

thanks tho

[spring coral]

its just so that I can do certain calculations on it like getting the closest point from a position

[zealous oxide]

hey peeps. i've got a game object with a line renderer + physics2d raycast thats facing transform.right, but im having trouble successfully rotating the object on a 2d plane to line up with another specific game object, in this instance, the player character. i'm not well versed in quaternion stuff. full code for the spawned game object is here https://hatebin.com/iosfkcnugy Now, i could clamp the x and y rotation axis I believe but this doesnt seem elegant or and is more of a band aid solution. I do have some alternative code i've written for a different demo that faces the target object but it does so without a delayed rotation which is what im after.

[spring coral]

i could just drop a collider in the scene and remove all of the collision layers on it to do the same thing, but is there a better way to handle this?

Well, there's the Bounds struct. Not sure if it has whatever you look for though.

Cause it sounds like you want an actual collider.

hmm, its only purpose would be for me to just fetch the closest point from another position

i wouldnt be using the collision detection or anything like that

[teal viper]

Bounds seem to have a method for getting the closet point.

You can't rotate it in space though

[spring coral]

ohhh, hmm thats def a limitation

[scarlet skiff]

dam its still not rly working

cuz i set it true in OnCollision

and i check if its true in another OnCollision

[spring coral]

ehh, i could just use a collider i guess

[scarlet skiff]

where do i go from there?

What're you trying to accomplish?

Not entirely sure what you're trying to achieve.
