My bad

meager sentinel
#

How does ToggleRadgoll work?

rich adder
#

but it goes back to idle and real quick into attack

meager sentinel
#

i just saw a tutorial of unity radgolls and i dont understand why it dont gets recognized to me

rich adder
#

that sounds like a custom thing

rare basin
#

looks like a custom class

#

from the tutorial you've watched

rich adder
#

Ragdoll methods are not a thing

meager sentinel
scarlet skiff
#

should the else if allow collision again?

rich adder
#

I make the same ones for my ragdoll lol

scarlet skiff

this is how it suppsoed to look

scarlet skiff
wintry quarry
#

if there's no collision anymore, that won't be happening anymore

scarlet skiff
#

or maybe it does collide for one frame, but it works fine

#

hmm i see

wintry quarry
scarlet skiff
wintry quarry
#

and set up layer based collisions

scarlet skiff
#

but then i have to keep track what goes in which layer

#

if i can handle each case in code, i can be more sure aboitu stuff

rare basin
#

you can change layers via code

wintry quarry
scarlet skiff
#

i know but like for example the fireball, the player and the archer.

player and archer should interact
player and fireball should interact
player and reflected fireball should not interact
archer and reflected fireball should interact^

now imagine u have a few others thing too, how would u keep track of which layer is for what

wintry quarry
#

when the archer shoots, the fireball starts in the EnemyProjectile layer
When the player reflects it, it moves to the PlayerProjectile layer

#

EnemyProjectiles interact with the player and not with enemies
PlayerProjectiles interact with enemies and not with the player

scarlet skiff
#

🧐

wintry quarry
#

so now the only thing you have to do in the shield code is:

void OnCollisionEnter2D(Collision2D collision) {
  if (/* collided object is a projectile we can reflect*/) {
    GameObject projectile = collision.collider.gameObject;
    projectile.layer = MyLayerHelper.PlayerProjectileLayer;

    // code to actually reflect the projectile direction here
  }
}```

        {
            transform.position = new Vector3(Player.position.x, Player.position.y, Player.position.z);
            transform.parent = Player.transform;
            Hammer.SetActive(false);
            isEquipped = true;
        }```
I want to make it so you can pick up the ball (what the script is on) and drop it, i need a bool to tell if the object is equipped or not, which is the isEquipped. its set to false at the beginning of the game. when i dont have the isEquipped part in the if statement, code works fine, but when i have it in, it doesnt work. I put a debug log in the if statement to see if it fires and it doesnt. anyone know why?
wintry quarry
# 
transform.position = new Vector3(Player.position.x, Player.position.y, Player.position.z);```
Can just be:
```cs
transform.position = Player.position;```

thanks

wintry quarry
#

it's identical

rare basin
wintry quarry
honest trench
#

ooh okay

wintry quarry
#

isEquipped = false ASSIGNS it to false

honest trench
#

let me try that

wintry quarry
#

it doesn't check if it's false

honest trench
#

oh okay i see

wintry quarry
#

&& is more efficient

#

it will skip the second check entirely if the first one already is false

honest trench
#

alright well the !isEquipped work

# rare basin Google it

Im doing it, just asking should the interfaces be made in the powerup script or a seperate script, and should it be on the scene or not?

rare basin
#

You can have a power up mono behaviour

#

That implements IPowerup interface

#

And when you collide with IPowerup just trigger PerformPowerup() interface method

#

And each of your power up could have different implementation

uncut dune
# 

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

public class PowerUps : MonoBehaviour
{
    [SerializeField]UnityEvent powerup;
    public PlayerHealthSystem playerHealthSystem;

    void Start()
    {
        playerHealthSystem = FindObjectOfType<PlayerHealthSystem>();
    }


    void Update()
    {
        
    }

    void OnTriggerEnter2D(Collider2D other)
    {
        if(other.gameObject.CompareTag("Player"))
        {
            powerup.Invoke();
            Destroy(gameObject);
        }
    }

}

can I keep this as base for it?

rare basin
#

You can have HealrhPowerup, DamagePowerup etc

#

Sure

uncut dune
#

ok so inside this code I would create an interface

rare basin
#

No

#

You implement the interface in that class

rich adder
#

perhaps they dont know what interface does lol

rare basin
#

They said they Googled it

#

So I assume they know

omg the reflected fireball STILL wont destroy the archer

honest trench

        {
            transform.position = Balla.position;
            transform.parent = Balla.transform;
            Hammer.SetActive(false);
            isEquipped = true;
        }
        if (isEquipped == true && Input.GetKeyDown("e"))
        {
            transform.position = new Vector3(Player.position.x, 2, Player.position.y);
            transform.parent = null;
            Hammer.SetActive(true);
            isEquipped = false;
        }```
So the top if statement works, lets you pick up the ball as intented, but when i put the bottom if statement in, which should let you drop the ball and re-equip the hammer you can no longer pick up the ball, any idea why?

i apologize for asking loads of questions that probably have simple answers im just kinda not good at this LMAO

# rich adder perhaps they dont know what interface does lol

I just didnt understand how this will make it work, Ive seen interfaces are good to call the same function from even if its on different scripts. But Im just trying to call a method from a script that is in the scene by a script that is a prefab. I could just make a switch case and list all the functions called depending on the type of powerup. But I think that something like a unity event would be more organised so I didnt need to make the powerup script too full.

rich adder
wintry quarry
rare basin
#

Or the first if is executed

wintry quarry
#

or OnCollisionEnter2D isn't running at all

jovial sandal

Also you should've mentioned that verticalSpeed gets adjusted by GetAxis

#

although don't think scroll wheel at all affects that

question: if i post a question and no one answers about how long should i wait until its society acceptable to ask again

cuz i dont want to be that guy who spams my question 20 times waiting for an answer

#

well its long off the screen so

honest trench
wintry quarry
#

you are setting isEquipped = true

honest trench
#

how do i fix that

wintry quarry
#

which causes the second if to run immediately

#

use else

scarlet skiff
rich adder
#

not the component

honest trench
#

ight let me try that

jovial sandal
scarlet skiff
wintry quarry
# honest trench how do i fix that

I would restructure the code like this:

if (Input.GetKeyDown("e")) {
    if (isEquipped) {
        transform.position = new Vector3(Player.position.x, 2, Player.position.y);
        transform.parent = null;
        Hammer.SetActive(true);
        isEquipped = false;
    }
    else if (distanceToPlayer.magnitude <= PickupRange) {
        transform.position = Balla.position;
        transform.parent = Balla.transform;
        Hammer.SetActive(false);
        isEquipped = true;
    }
}```

faced one problem where:

        for (int i = 0; i < StatusList.Count; i++)
        {  
            if (StatusList[i].duration == 0)  
                StatusList.Remove(StatusList[i]);    
        }

After removing that StatusList[i] the list is getting smaller and well... that kinda screws the purpose.
How do I actually remove all expired items from the list without screwing up?

any way to make this work on disabled objects?

Dont use names man

GameObject.find is trashy in general

rich adder

# 
foreach (Transform child in dropsParent.transform) {
  // whatever

terse osprey
#

the issue is that my character with the script spawns so instantiates mid game

rich adder
#

if you really need runtime just find a "holder" object that has them in an array

wintry quarry
rich adder
#

like PraetorBlue suggested

#

but I would still Opt for a Component find instead of name

#

if you ever changed names your whole system breaks

#

Drops dropsParent = FindObjectOfType<Drops>();

        {

            }
        }```
alright i cant figure this out so basically it all works, but when i drop the ball instead of dropping at the players feet like it should, it drops at its original spawn point when you start the game. the player gameobject is correctly assigned in the inspector btw
#

the player variable is correctly assigned in the inspector

#

player gameobject i mean

terse osprey
#

I have gotten a little comnfused due to my inexperience so ill go do some research on the things you guys suggested, thanyouuu

wintry quarry
visual hedge
#

I will try though

rich adder
#

So you find the object that holds all your drops in a list

#

its more solid to look for a Component(Script) than a name of an object

scarlet skiff
#

ok so it doesnt even count the collision with the fireball, even tho its on the same layer as the energyball

#

well there isnt in the script

#

i had removed it

rich adder
honest trench
#

i want it to spawn on the players feet basically

#

so same x, same z, but on the ground

rich adder
#

using 2 seems too arbitrary

#

also iirc thats worldpos

ivory bobcat
honest trench
#

like just make a gameobject at the players feet and spawn it there?

#

yeah probable

rich adder
#

easier Imo than magic number guess

honest trench
#

should i record a video to show

ivory bobcat
rich adder
#

I assume transform.position = new Vector3(Player.position.x, 2, Player.position.y);

honest trench
#

1st if statement is the dropping, the 2nd is the picking it up

#

the 1st isnt working

honest trench
#

i just dont know why or how to solve it

rich adder
#

you put y instead of Z

honest trench
#

oh you right LMAO

#

i am moronic

scarlet skiff
honest trench
#

i fixed that but it still isnt working

#

here ill record a video

ivory bobcat
#

Log the players position and see if it's the expected position.
If it's correct, consider setting the parent before changing the position.

rich adder
honest trench
honest trench
#

it spawns at 0, 0.71, 0

#

okay yeah the debug is correct

rich adder
honest trench
#

i put the parent line before the position line im still getting the same issue

rich adder
#

or just unparent first

ivory bobcat
#

Does it match the inspector position for the ball?

#

Show where/how you logged

honest trench
#

oh no it doesnt

#

the balls positions stays at 0, 0.71, 0

#

Debug.Log(Player.transform.position); i just put that in update

# 
        {
            if (isEquipped)
            {
                transform.parent = null;
                transform.localPosition = new Vector3(Player.position.x, 0.71f, Player.position.z);
                Hammer.SetActive(true);
                isEquipped = false;
            }
            else if (distanceToPlayer.magnitude <= PickupRange)
            {
                transform.position = Balla.position;
                transform.parent = Balla.transform;
                Hammer.SetActive(false);
                isEquipped = true;
            }
        }```
i put the parent line before and i made it localPosition
scarlet skiff
wintry quarry
honest trench
#

but the ball position doesnt actually change it just becomes a child of the player (when picking it up i mean)

ivory bobcat
# 
            if (isEquipped)
            {
                Debug.Log($"Initial: Ball position {transform.position}, Player position {Player.position}");
                transform.position = new Vector3(Player.position.x, 2, Player.position.y);
                Debug.Log($"Changed: Ball position {transform.position}");
                transform.parent = null;
                Debug.Log($"Unparented: Ball position {transform.position}");
                Hammer.SetActive(true);
                isEquipped = false;
            }```
wintry quarry
ivory bobcat
#

I think they aren't using physics.

#

Just placing the item on the ground.

rich adder
#

time to do it then xD

honest trench
wintry quarry
#

Anyway if you want it at the player's foot position just do that:

transform.position = new Vector3(Player.position.x, 0, Player.position.z);```
honest trench
rich adder
#

or also my suggestion to just make a transform just for a drop spot

#

ez mode

honest trench
#

im gonna try that hold on

#

give me like 5 minutes ill let yall know if that works

ivory bobcat

#

yup exactly what I thought earlier

honest trench

honest trench
#

yeah sure one secx

#

sex

#

ooh wait okay nvm they do

#

when i dropped the ball i got this

#

so that would suggest the ball is going to where it should...

#

but its not

rocky canyon
#

same position in the world

ivory bobcat
#

I think you're missing a $ with the first log message

#

im always missing $

oh let me put that in

#

Can you show an image of your code? (that if statement)

#

an image or do u just want me to send it

I'm curious why the second log doesn't have the same values as the first, relative to ball/player.

honest trench

        {
            if (isEquipped)
            {
                Debug.Log($"Initial: Ball position {transform.position}, Player position {Player.position}");
                transform.position = new Vector3(Player.position.x, 2, Player.position.y);
                Debug.Log($"Changed: Ball position {transform.position}");
                transform.parent = null;
                Debug.Log($"Unparented: Ball position {transform.position}");
                Hammer.SetActive(true);
                isEquipped = false;
            }
            else if (distanceToPlayer.magnitude <= PickupRange)
            {
                transform.position = Balla.position;
                transform.parent = Balla.transform;

            }
        }```
heres the whole thing
ivory bobcat
#

Ah, y = 2. Okay, that's fine. Why'd the z value differ though?

honest trench
#

i really just dont understand why this code isnt working tbh

rich adder
honest trench
#

even if i put a transform at the players feet that still wouldnt work right? becausei would set the ball to that transform but since that transform is just always on the player the same issue would be present

ivory bobcat
rich adder
#

oh they did the same mistake as earlier lol

honest trench
#

yeah i fixed that

rich adder
#

dont send old code then

honest trench
#

because i copied that from someone else who copied it from my earlier code

and does it always spawn it at the same spot ? even if wrong ? or does it move if player moves

#

As of right now, it looks like you're just parenting/unparenting the object.

#

could be pivot issue

of the ball

With no displacement done at all.

yep always spawns at same spot

to put the ball at that position

I have reason to believe whatever you've referenced as Player doesn't move...
Assuming that you've referenced an unmoving object, let's opt to just drop the ball where it is rather than where this "player" is.cs if (isEquipped) { var position = transform.position; position.y = 2; transform.position = position; transform.SetParent(null, true);//Do not change the current position Hammer.SetActive(true); isEquipped = false; }

the animation moves the ball forward and back

still having the same problem where the ball doesnt drop by the players feet

ivory bobcat
# scarlet skiff no fireballs

So it isn't that your Fireball doesn't have it's component. It's that you are never hitting the Fireball to begin with

swift crag
#

all it does is change whether it goes back to the original value or keep the existing value

rich adder
scarlet skiff
swift crag
#

The animator will write to every single property that any animation clip in any of its states control.

#

It doesn't "give them up"

rich adder
#

but animator is def overriding their position

scarlet skiff
#

here is the firebal lprefsb with component..

image.png
#

and even if i switch to the fireball tag instead.. same thing..

#

it doesnt even register the fireball for osme reason..

rich adder
honest trench
#

yep ill try it

#

you are correct that fixes it

#

it drops by my feet

ivory bobcat
# scarlet skiff no its not that

There were no logs that said you were hit by the Fireball. If you cannot be hit or have not been hit by the Fireball, you'll not get any physics messages.

honest trench
#

now ofc the melee animation doesnt play

ivory bobcat
#

The else if statement isn't ever true because the Fireball never hit you.

honest trench
#

so how can i make it so the animator doesnt override the position

rich adder
#

and enable when you need it again

honest trench
#

is there not an easier way?

rich adder
#

thought that was pretty easy lol

honest trench
#

i mean it is but

#

idk i just feel like there should be some built in way to do that

rich adder
honest trench
#

alright well that works

#

thank you all for the help

scarlet skiff

#

and made it layer based instead

ivory bobcat
#

It's to do with your setup.

how could the if statement not be true if the fireball 100% has a fireball component
The above was an X/Y question where the problem isn't that the object 100% has the component but rather that no collision is occurring at all.

scarlet skiff
#

and penta checked if the layers for the player and the fireball can interact

polar acorn

And the player's inspector?

Hello I have an issue with my script that caused an error in my console. So basically my goal was to make a gun pick up system where there are two guns, one a prop gun that will just be staying on the ground waiting for the player to collide with it and a real pistol that is alredy a child of the player but will only work and appear when the player touches the fake/prop gun. And when I was making the if statement where if space is pressed and the real gun game object is set active (so it appears in the player) it will shoot, else it will not shoot. But I got an error saying that "Operator '&&' cannot be applied to operands of type 'bool' and 'void' " knowing rn that it doesnt work I am looking for an alternative way to achieve what I wanted from the start, so could somebody help?

the script:

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

public class GunEquip : MonoBehaviour
{
    public GameObject propPistol;
    public GameObject Pistol;
    public bool showRealPewPew;

    void Start()
    {
        Pistol.gameObject.SetActive(false);
        propPistol.gameObject.SetActive(true);
    }

    void Update()
    {
        if(Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Space) && Pistol.gameObject.SetActive(true))
        {
            Shooting();
        }
        else
        {
            NoShooting();
        }
    }

    private void OnTriggerEnter2D(Collider2D collision)
    {
        if (collision.tag == "Pistol")
        {
            PickUp();
        }
    }

    public void PickUp()
    {
        Pistol.gameObject.SetActive(true);
        Destroy(propPistol);
    }

    public void Shooting()
    {

    }

    public void NoShooting()
    {

    }

Okay, so, the fireball starts on the Enemy Projectile layer, meaning it is not going to interact with Enemy. When the player reflects it, it becomes a Player Projectile and reverses direction, which should allow it to hit the Enemy, but it is not. Is that the gist of what's going on?

polar acorn
scarlet skiff
polar acorn
# scarlet skiff yes

Let's see if it's the layers causing the problems. Re-enable the Enemy Projectile collisions with Enemy, and in the section where you check for the Fireball script, instead of destroying things, add this log:

Debug.Log($"{gameObject.name} has been hit by {collision.gameObject.name} on layer {LayerMask.LayerToName(collision.gameObject.layer)}",this);

It should fire off a message when you first fire the projectile, and then another one when it's reflected back. If there are logs, then your issue is with layer management. If there are no logs, your issue is with colliders.

This one might require some quick timing on the pause button (You can press Ctrl+Shift+P to pause during play mode if you need your mouse to be elsewhere for this to work)

Can you take a screenshot of your entire unity window, with the game paused, with the fireball overlapping the archer, with the fireball selected in the hierarchy and your console visible? This way I can check a whole lotta things at once for any discrepancies. I don't know what exactly I'm looking for but I might notice something

1.23 is a literal value. Its type is double.

1.23f is a literal value. Its type is float.

double is more precise than float. It's also slower, so Unity uses float all over the place.

Can someone explain to me how PolygonCollider2D.setPath(int, Vector2[]) works please? I don't understand how setting a different start index would change the shape.

late bobcat

honest trench
polar acorn
# dusty silo Can someone explain to me how `PolygonCollider2D.setPath(int, Vector2[])` works ...

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/PolygonCollider2D.SetPath.html

A path is a cyclic sequence of line segments between points that define the outline of the polygon. Because the polygon can have holes and discontinuous parts, its shape is not necessarily defined by a single path. For example, the polygon might actually be 3 separate paths. In this case SetPath will be called 3 times, with an index of 0, 1 and 2. So index specifies which of these three collections of points are used.

It's which of the paths you want to change to the given array of vertices. If your shape is fully continuous, then the only path will be at index 0. You can change that path to whatever you want by passing in the index of 0 and the list of points that define it, in order

queen adder
# late bobcat ty i'll try

Memory Profiler was better in some of the earlier versions. U were able to see the memory block by block. But now, they removed that tab because it was really too cool feature to be continuously upgraded and bet they didn't wanted to give us that for free.

# scarlet skiff why wont it stop at -7

First off, you should consider using Mathf.Abs to make those checks easier to read.

Second, have you considered logging xPosition to see what the numbers end up being and if they line up with what you expect?

late bobcat
dusty silo
#

Can lambdas be used to convert an array of objects into an array of their stored information, or is that only lists?

scarlet skiff
#

aight i solved it the checks for xpos sucked

i suppose

if (7 < Mathf.abs(xPosition))

would be a better way?

Okey, I took a really long time to answer (kinda busy sry), but I think I should do this right since you took your time to help me. I compiled the code before leaving, give it a try as you said and the documentation supports, I compiled it and tested it; it did literally nothing, don't know why, the behaviour was exactly the same. So I dediced to leave there for the time being and went out for the day. NOW I have come back and decided to test it again, it wasn't working but like it was doing nothing at all, so the issue was different, I checked the code again and... the method was empty (wtf?) Like I dunno what happened there, I rewrited it again following the guides and now it works as intended. So yeah just here to say thxs and sry for being kinda of an asshole 😄

if I instantiate an item using a scriptable object, and then change a variable in the scriptable object script, will that change all items using that scriptable object or just the one being changed?

like, if the object is item(clone) and the data is itemdata, would item(clone).itemData.height change the variable for all itemData items or just the one

They aren't recursively instantiated.

It is relatively new versions only, yeah

rare basin
#

Yea the file name doesn't have to match the class name now

#

Not sure since which version

#

I'm guessing that, if there's only one MonoBehaviour or ScripatbleObject in the file, it just uses whatever's there

The second class will not be addable by the user interface

and is only interactable via code

Imo the old rule is a good one, but I'm glad it's not strictly enforced

#

There's little to no reason to have it another way

rare basin
#

I will stick to it anyway ig

#

Makes things cleaner

swift crag
#

allowing the names to differ does make it very obvious that Unity doesn't actually care about the C# class (other than when it needs to actually instantiate it)

#

it just cares about the script asset

Now I am seeing a issue I did not see before, like I have an enemy with a NavMeshAgent that is meant to follow the player and the speed of it changes overtime dependeing of whatever the enemy in question is doing, the thing is, they should reach a point at which they are faster than the player and inevitabilly reach it even if the player is moving like the player speed is 10 and the enemy speed ramps from 5 to up to 15 and this is actually showing properly in the NavMeshAgent, but they never quite reach the player unless they stop, they stay literally one pixel away from colliding with it. I assume this has to do with the Stopping distance but... doesn't seem to do anything if I change so... is anything that prevents the agent to collide with its target or....

teal viper
frigid sequoia
#

Like where is he going to be next frame or something like that

teal viper
frigid sequoia
swift crag
#

Yeah, but the update order matters

#

If the enemy tries to move to the player, and then the player moves, it'll be off by one frame

#

I'd just make the enemy have a long enough reach to hit the player with a little bit of leeway

#

I do have the enemy "lead" the player a little in my game. That makes the enemy look a bit less single-minded.

teal viper
swift crag
#

I've had problems where an enemy stopped moving entirely -- it took more than one frame to decide on a path, and I was setting the destination every frame

#

oops

teal viper
#

Yeah, that's a common problem

swift crag
#

It was taking so long because the destination was unreachable

frigid sequoia
#

I mean, if it gets close enough is fine, it doesn't have to be pixel perfect, but it seems like it is stopping just outside the collision treshold, which seems like really weird

#

Maybe is a coincidence though and is something else that just happens to be set excatly at that value

frigid sequoia
swift crag
#

It tries to move as close as possible.

frigid sequoia
swift crag
#

actually, I just checked and I disabled that behavior 🫠

#

i should put it back in

#

i think it was causing weird problems when the enemy was really far away

#

it'd try to lead you by 30 seconds and just...go somewhere weird

frigid sequoia
#

Oh, nevermind, reducing the radius of obstacle avoidance seems to do the job

#

Which is weird, the player is nor an obstacle nor agent, so I don't know why they are trying to avoid as an obstacle

so you have to check by previously used time

amber spruce
#

ok

timber tide
#

well, you can use it but you must append the delta value inside of update, because in this case you're only incrementing values whenever you press the key

#

What's the most popular way to apply a turning force to a 3d character, like if they're moving fast in one direction that any additional acceleration in another direction will only turn them gradually so you need to apply an extra force to rotate them to that direction?

amber spruce
#

i mean i dont have a option to change the fps so i dont think it really changes much

#

right or will it matter

fierce geode
#

my current idea is to use a vector dot product to check if the current velocity vector is pointing in the same direction as the players input and then multiple the current acceleration by the difference between the two angles.

summer stump
fierce geode
#

Actually since the dot product equals 1 when the vectors are alligned, I should be multiplying it by 1-dot product

I want sorting Y pos for my top-down game, it's affected to canvas UI element ?

#

UI is sorted by render queue only

#

or rather how it's positioned in the hierarchy

north kiln
#

if they're enums why is this all just using unreadable numbers

#

I love it when my type is 3

nimble apex
#

lol

#

this is more like a draft now

#

there are tons of rules that i need to think of

#

annnnnd this code is in a switch case , so its not hard to reference it lol

eternal needle
#

seems odd that this is in a switch and you still need to check values like this

gaunt ice
#

If the loop continue if bet result is not 3 6 7 so why you check if the bet result is 1 or 2

north kiln
#

I hate this

#

make some functions so it's clear what any of this even means

timber tide
#

should label your stuff more

north kiln
#

betResult.type.IsWhatever() instead of checking like this

#

and abstract away this crap

timber tide
#

use enums instead of explicitly binding values to represent some references and whatnot

gaunt ice
#

Also (a and b) or b is b

I got an issue with the camera and the player body not syncing up correctly when turning. Ive troubleshooted it down to this block of code. What math do i have wrong here? (the camera is not a child object of the player)

 public void OnLook(InputAction.CallbackContext context)
{  
    view = context.ReadValue<Vector2>();
    yRotation += view.x * 0.1f * sensX;
    xRotation -= view.y * 0.1f * sensY;
    xRotation = Mathf.Clamp(xRotation, -45f, 45f);

    cameraPosition.localEulerAngles = new Vector3(xRotation, yRotation, 0f);

    playerRotation = new Vector3(0f, yRotation, 0f);
    Quaternion deltaRotation = Quaternion.Euler(playerRotation * Time.fixedDeltaTime);
    rb.MoveRotation(rb.rotation * deltaRotation);
}
teal viper
#

I think I gave you a suggestion how to change it yesterday. Did you give it a try?

vale karma
#

i did yesterday, and i believe we changed transform.Rotate() to rb.MoveRotation bc it is a smooth movement between rotation vectors

teal viper
#

I can see some other issues too. Like calling MoveRotation from an input callback instead of fixed update.

vale karma
#

i changed that a second ago, i am now just being a bit destructive trying to find out whats goin on

queen adder
#

ok so im coding for the first time in microsoft visual studio, and there are some errors in my movement script, and i would like help fixing

queen adder
teal viper
teal viper
queen adder
#

those are the ones with the red underline right

vale karma
#

ohhh yea i think i got distracted and ended up goin to bed, so your saying instead of rb.MoveRotation(rb.rotation * deltaRotation); I should calculate rb.rotation * deltaRotation seperately?

teal viper
#

What's the rotation * deltaRotation even for? Can you explain the intention behind it?

teal viper
vale karma
#

yea its incredibly hard to follow, rb.rotation * deltaRotation is basically multiplying the Y rotation of the input to Time.fixedDeltaTime. Then that has to be a quaternion to go into MoveRotation.

#

im about to just restart the entire script. I keep changing it anyways

teal viper
#

It's not just hard to follow, it makes little sense to me in the first place.

vale karma
#

hahahaha

teal viper
#

Like, can you explain the logic step by step?

vale karma
#

yea i know about the components, what they do mostly, but then its "how do i put this together? ill watch a vid on it" and they have the worst code... but your already 20 minutes in and i dont really know a different way of rotating the camera and player with the new input system..

#

the documentation has some good examples, but i think i used the moveRotation example unity had and it was the rotation * deltaRotation stuff, with the quaternion

teal viper
vale karma
#

your right, its just a vector2 i can split with .x and .y

#

okay so mapping the input is fine, so my problem is with rotations in general lol

teal viper
vale karma
#

is rotation velocity the difference from the first call to the second?

teal viper
#

If you want to use the final rotation(which is correct in this case), you need to feed it into move rotation directly(after converting to a quaternion), instead of doing any math on it.

teal viper
#

There's even a comment describing what the code does.

Rotating around y axis, 100 deg/sec

Which is not exactly what you want. You should use the example as a reference to understand the API, not apply it to your code directly.

vale karma
#

ohh yea, i changed that to the YRotation

#

so I was using the YRotation as a degree per second

teal viper
#

Yes.

vale karma
#

so i just need to set it to deltaRotation?

#

nope, i got some more learnin to do

teal viper
#

No. Start simpler. What does MoveRotation method take?

vale karma
#

a Quaternion 😄

teal viper
#

Not the type. What does it represent?

vale karma
#

a vector3?

teal viper
#

No. It's in the docs. Just read it.

vale karma
#

the new rotation for the RigidBody 😮

teal viper
#

Yes.

#

And what in your code represents the new rotation(desired rotation)?

vale karma
#

yRotation?

#

dad please dont be disappointed im trying XD

teal viper
#

This only represents the rotation on the Y axis.

vale karma
#

playerRotation

teal viper
#

Correct

vale karma
#

do i have to worry about Time.fixedDeltaTime with the MoveRotation or the playerRotation?

teal viper
#

What do you think?

#

Remember what parameter it takes?

vale karma
#

i would think no because its not moving the player... but im not sure if i have to calculate it beforehand.. but seeing the MoveRotation method doesnt take the Time.fixedDeltaTime function i guess no?

#

also i know the new input system normalizes the movement already, I didnt know if it dealt with the time or not

teal viper
#

Think simpler. What does MoveRotation do?

vale karma
#

rotates the rb

#

ohh hey i fixed it somewhat,

# 
rb.MoveRotation(deltaRotation);```
#

it can now move in the right direction and rotate correctly, but it still doesnt constantly update the direction im moving in until i click w again

#

oh yay its all working now, thanks mr dlich

teal viper
vale karma
#

nothin, i just copied most of the document

teal viper
#

It's not nothing. As long as it serves a purpose in your code, it does represent something.

#

What does it represent?

vale karma
#

i renamed it playerRot, as in MoveRotation(Quaternion rot)

teal viper
#

Good. Naming your methods and variables correctly is very important, both to assist you in understanding your code and even more so when you ask other people for help and share code with them.

vale karma
#

i want to optimize it to look like the old input system unity asset that has the fps for you

#

like i have code that "just works" that looks like

yRotation += view.x * 0.1f * sensX;
xRotation -= view.y * 0.1f * sensY;```
teal viper
#

Okay?

#

Not sure I understand what you're trying to say.
But I'd get rid of that 0.1f magic number in there.

vale karma
#

idk what that means or how the math is correct when doing -= or +=.

summer stump
#

Why even have it? You already have sensitivity

vale karma
#

i think i had it set in the thousands or something rediculous

summer stump
#

The minus equals is to make the view not inverted

summer stump
#

By removing the 0.1, you can avoid that

vale karma
#

its at 1 sens rn and super fast

summer stump
vale karma
#

then you have to be more precise when changing it in the editor

#

so like .01 i could then have a sensitivity on a menu reasonable from 0-10 or something

i have output[output.Length - 1] = element; line and editor says that it can be simplified to output[^1] = element; i want to use it but i fear ill forget about it, what is this ^1 called ?

perhaps if i know more ill be able to recall it later

dont worry i got it lookin nicee

does scale matter when dealing with rigidbodies? im trying to crouch

bro unity wont work tf

#

i agree but it dosent do anything

with what

oops wrong server

vale karma
#

how do i make the character not get stuck on the edge of a platform?

#

i tried a physical material and it works somewhat i think, but it still is an issue

teal viper
vale karma
#

im not sure, probably the raycast thinking its the ground

teal viper
vale karma
#

yea its not the top priority atm, i can live with it

#

rn im tryin to fix this weird ghost code

teal viper
vale karma
#

in the inspector, you can see that sprinting changes the Move Speed from 2 to 3, But crouching does everything it needs to BUT change the move speed

#

i can even debug the speed in the If statements and it changes accordingly, just not the actual speed fsr

teal viper
#

I don't see anything changing aside from the bools in that video.🤷‍♂️

vale karma
#

this shows it better

#

im thinking now that the code for the crouch method is sound, but whatever is actually moving the player isnt updating the moveSpeed variable?

teal viper
vale karma
#

also are you impressed with my super mega ultra fps controller?

teal viper
vale karma
#

ill have to lookup a video on some debugging, all i know is strings and sometimes values

teal viper
tepid summit
#

ok,

vale karma
#

hahaha are you talking about not using : and ? or because the else if is unnecessary?

teal viper
tepid summit
#

arguably simple question coming up,

#

but tf is a ghost code

vale karma
#

idk, a new term

tepid summit
#

code that compiles and doesnt work?

tepid summit

#

everything that seems to show that its working, but still doesnt lol

#

it just kinda poofs

teal viper

#

here ill reply to it

tepid summit
vale karma
#

i wonder who

tepid summit
#

oh

#

hey

teal viper
#

Ah, they just come up with a name for it.

vale karma
#

isnt there some kind of phase or enum i could code to do this instead of coding out each method in a different way?

tepid summit
#

yeah that makes sense

vale karma
#

i forgot what its called

tepid summit
teal viper
#

What are you referring to?

vale karma
teal viper
#

Explain in words please.

tepid summit
#

check for a key press and change the speed on the press

vale karma
#

no the MovementState. stuff

teal viper
#

Assuming you want only one state active at the same time, a state machine with enums is a good option, yeah.

vale karma
#

well heck i kind of already made one

#

the isCrouched, spritning and walking

teal viper
#

Except that they don't represent one state and prone to bugs.

vale karma
#

what gives it away

teal viper
#

If you have one variable for the current state, you physically can't be in 2 states, which makes it easier to debug.

tepid summit

tepid summit

oh ok

dude how many times am i gonna have to alter this script

tepid summit

at least 14 more times

Hello, I wanted to know, I am making my game in VR like PC building Simulator, I placed my objects in the right place, except that I always have the elements in red and blue as in the photo and I wanted to know if it Is this an option to check or not?

It seems to me it's a box to uncheck in the preview but I don't know where it is.

Ive been really just learning absolutely everything about movement, and got fed up for not konwing how to do it myself, I started this script yesturday

tepid summit

#

hahaha i thought he was looking down in a pond reflection but also into the top of a house

tepid summit
#

damn

vale karma

then i saw the hands then i was like oh its vr and thats a navigation dot

teal viper

yea i doubt ill get close to making money out of this, at least for another 10 years

teal viper

Though I do enjoy debugging. You learn to do it at some point. It's like a puzzle game. Food for the brain.

vale karma
tepid summit
#

you should learn to "stop"

#

youll get burnout

#

trust me, it sucks

vale karma
#

i got adhd i do it with everything

tepid summit
#

fair enough

vale karma
#

ill take care of myself today, thanks for the help guys

tepid summit
#

i have reason to believe i have autism (getting tested soon), and i tend to do the same

tepid summit
#

now go have fun

hybrid tapir
#

public void amountThatIsActive(Values values)
{

}

why doesnt that appear in a button onclick

tepid summit
#

what

#

oh

hybrid tapir
#

forgot to mention Values is an enum

#

its already bad enough that the inspector only supports a void with one parameter

#

😭

tepid summit
#

can you send the whole script

#

with three of these ` on bioth ends

hybrid tapir
#

ill do it tmrw i decided to gtb after i asked thinking you would just know lol

#

like turned the pc off and everything

tepid summit
#

damn

#

ok

hybrid tapir
#

the script literally has a public enum with 8 options and that void statement i didnt do anything else with it

tepid summit
#

having the whole script would really help with debugging

hybrid tapir
#

ok

gilded elm
tepid summit
#

so filter it to remove the preview instead

gilded elm
#

filter? how to do that?

I'm in VR so I only have the XR Plugin scripts (XR Socket interactor, XR Grab interable)

#

and the XR Interaction Manager

tepid summit
#

ok

gilded elm
#

and I try to look on the internet or even settings but I can't find

tepid summit
#

i dont work with vr so i cant help you

#

also theres a vr specific channel if you want to try there

gilded elm
tepid summit
#

im pretty sure

gilded elm
#

I thank you for your help all the same

tepid summit
#

ok

hybrid tapir
#

is there a specific way to use enums in void params?

ivory bobcat
#

What do you mean by void params?

earnest atlas
#

void params, next gen of params

gaunt ice
#

Void=nothing hence void param=no param?

#

Btw void is the type name

#

I think you mean method

tepid summit
#

is there a big difference between lerp and slerp? if so, what is it

tall storm
tepid summit
#

oh ok

#

so slerp is more like spherical lerp

#

like a conjunction

nimble apex
#

to be very simple. with a quite bad example

#

lerp : movement like when u take an elevator
slerp : if you jump off a cliff irl

trail heart
#

Rather imagine traveling around a circle or a sphere

        }```
The Running Debug only works on the time you first press shift, id like it stay as you hold the key
