[ripe kayak]

so basically what im tryng to do is make a pop up when i press exit

[slender nymph]

we are aware of what you are trying to do

your issue is that you are trying to use a variable that does not exist

[ripe kayak]

what should i do lol

[polar acorn]

"I did it exactly like the tutorial so why does theirs work and mine doesn't" counter:
Number of times it wasn't exactly like the tutorial: 143
Number of times it was exactly like the tutorial: 5
Number of times the code literally did not exist: 1
2022-07-19 to 2024-2-08

[slender nymph]

use the variable that does exist

surely you know what a variable is, right?

[swift crag]

if the variable is named quitPanel, you can't write QuitPanel or QUITPANEL or quitpanel or florp

[ripe kayak]

braindamaged

[swift crag]

the only valid way to reference that variable is quitPanel

[slender nymph]

what is the name of the only variable you have declared inside that class?

[slender nymph]

their variable isn't even named quitPanel

[polar acorn]

They don't even have a lower case quitPanel

They named it something completely different

[ripe kayak]

do i have a variable?

i have no idea

[slender nymph]

okay it's clear you have no clue what you are doing. so stop, and go do some beginner courses to learn c#. there are some great ones pinned in this channel

[polar acorn]

Stop. Do not pass GO, do not collect $200. Do the intro to C# course in the pins. You need to know at least what words mean before continuing.

[ripe kayak]

im simply watching tutorials

[polar acorn]

We cannot help you if you literally do not know what the words mean

[ripe kayak]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/999844184796172298.webp?size=48&name=Rollfac&quality=lossless

[polar acorn]

And you have managed to not even do that properly.

Go learn the bare bones fundamentals of programming before attempting anything else

oki

btw i fixed the issue

[rose galleon]

Still working on that .-.

[swift crag]

Are you using multiple scenes for different areas in your game?

[slender nymph]

if you go learn the basics you won't run into this issue again because you'll actually understand what you are doing therefore you will save yourself even more time over the course of developing your game

[rose galleon]

Im using scenes for every room

[swift crag]

Okay. I would suggest having a "game controller" object that lives in the DontDestroyOnLoad scene.

[rose galleon]

The gamecontroller is already DontDestroyOnLoad

[swift crag]

It should have a method to load a scene and position the player somewhere in that scene.

[rose galleon]

The controller and the Player are

[ripe kayak]

yeah well my brain can't handle these stuff, i can forget stuff pretty easily and i can't just wrote bunch of lines without missing a word or symboles or capslocks

[swift crag]

You can write a coroutine that:

• fades the screen to black
• loads the new scene
• positions the player
• un-fades the screen

[slender nymph]

alright well then i'm just going to block you. i don't help people who refuse to even try learning the basics 🤷‍♂️

[rose galleon]

It loads scenes through save, and yesterday I was working on the loading position

[swift crag]

Oh right, you've got the save data.

[rose galleon]

Yeah

[spiral narwhal]

itemBuilder?.Build();

'?.' on a type deriving from 'UnityEngine.Object' bypasses the lifetime check on the underlying Unity engine object

What does this warning mean? Is it possible to use it if you learn the side effects or is it rather a no-go

i.e. is start not called?

[ripe kayak]

who said i refuse lol and why "block" i don't get it

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1155892328817500221.gif?size=48&name=FastSkull&quality=lossless

[slender nymph]

no, it does not use the overloaded == operator from unity so it can not check if the object has been destroyed, it just does a pure null check. destroyed objects are not actually null, they just return true when comparing to null with == because UnityEngine.Object has overloaded the operator

[swift crag]

because you're refusing to take any of the advice you're being given and spamming emojis at us

[ripe kayak]

im not lol

[swift crag]

    [System.Serializable]
    public class SaveData
    {
        public string sceneName;
        public Vector3 position;
    }

    IEnumerator LoadFromSave(SaveData data)
    {
        AsyncOperation handle = SceneManager.LoadSceneAsync(data.sceneName);

        yield return handle;

        Player.instance.transform.position = data.position;
    }

Could be as simple as this.

I would suggest making SaveData store all of the important information (e.g. upgrades, quest progress, etc.)

and then have a smaller class for where you should respawn at

[rose galleon]

Whats thr IEnumerator again? I remember seeing it once while making a timer

[swift crag]

SavePointData, maybe

[spiral narwhal]

Ahhh thank you gotcha. Just as an aside, though, wouldn't it be easy for Unity to overload ?. or does C# not support overloading that operator

[ripe kayak]

i really apreciate u guys helping me out and im just chilling around, and im also learning btw i was joking

[slender nymph]

not possible

[swift crag]

IEnumerator means that this method returns an enumerator. An enumerator is an object that can give you a sequence of values.

The method runs until it hits a yield statement, then pauses.

[ripe kayak]

and for the emojis that's just me do that most of time

[swift crag]

If you pass an enumerator to StartCoroutine, Unity will ask it for a new value every frame (by default). This resumes the method until it hits another yield

But you can also yield special values to change that behavior. Notably, you can yield an AsyncOperation to make the coroutine wait until the operation is done

[rose galleon]

The SaveData would have to be destroyed on load though, so I can give it a different value every instance it appears

[swift crag]

SaveData is a plain old C# class.

It's not a unity object at all; there's no notion of being "destroyed"

[open field]

Object.GetComponent<Renderer>.material = white;

its gives an error

[swift crag]

You'd just need to store it somewhere that you can always access.

So, for example, I would hang on to the current save data in a static field (or put it in the singleton game controller)

[open field]

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

public class MonkeButton : MonoBehaviour
{
public GameObject Object;
public Material red;
public Material white;
public AudioSource sound;

void OnTriggerEnter()
{
    Object.GetComponent<Renderer>.material = red;
    sound.Play();
}
void OnTriggerExit()
{
    Object.GetComponent<Renderer>.material = white;
    sound.Stop();
}

} This is my full script

[rose galleon]

So like, I assign it to both the destroyable game object and a DontDestroyOnLoad?

[slender nymph]

and what is the error

[pastel patrol]

I want to set the rb (rigidbody) to 0,0
please help

[swift crag]

You don't need a game object at all. SaveData is just a blob of data.

[open field]

Assets\Scripts\MonkeButton.cs(14,16): error CS0119: 'GameObject.GetComponent<T>()' is a method, which is not valid in the given context

[swift crag]

public static class Whatever {
  public static SaveData someCoolData;
}

[slender nymph]

right. and how do you invoke a method?

[open field]

this is the error

[swift crag]

Whatever.someCoolData holds a SaveData. Bam.

SaveData is not a unity object. It isn't instasntiated or destroyed.

[open field]

idk

[slender nymph]

() is used to invoke a method

[spiral narwhal]

    [CreateAssetMenu(fileName = "ItemSO", menuName = "Tool", order = 0)]
    public class ToolSO : ItemSO
    {
        [SerializeField] private int _maxDurability;

        public int MaxDurability => _maxDurability;

        public int CurrentDurability { get; private set; }

        public override ItemSO Build()
        {
            return copy of this and:
            CurrentDurability = _maxDurability;
        }
    }

How would I do the pseudocode in Build() for a scriptable object?

[open field]

thx

[swift crag]

Instantiate is what you're looking for.

It copies any unity object.

[spiral narwhal]

Okay thanks I'll try

[rose galleon]

But for it to do anything it needs to be assigned, no?

[open field]

where should i put the () then?

[swift crag]

Sure. You need to create a SaveData object and put some data in it

and then you need to store it

[slender nymph]

read your error message again then read the line that the error is on

[swift crag]

I'm not a huge fan of storing mutable data in scriptable objects like this. Instantiating the object does create a fresh copy you can modify as you want, but...

[polar acorn]

To create a new instance of something you need to use the new keyword

[swift crag]

I prefer creating a separate class that references an ItemSO

[open field]

oh

[swift crag]

public class Tool : MonoBehaviour {
  public ToolSO toolData;
}

e.g.

[polar acorn]

On the line that's underlined in red in your IDE

[rose galleon]

Exactly what I was saying. The SaveData object would need to be DontDestroyOnLoad, wouldnt it?

[swift crag]

SaveData is not a unity object. It cannot be destroyed.

Do you mean the thing that holds the SaveData?

[open field]

Object.GetComponent<Renderer>.material = white; this is the line wher should i put the ()

[slender nymph]

read the error again

[pastel patrol]

Thanks!!

[rose galleon]

The SaveData OBJECT, not the script

[swift crag]

If you want to store it inside a unity object, then yes, you need to make sure this object isn't destroyed (and that you always have a reference to it)

[swift crag]

it sounds like your'e confused about the terminology here

[rose galleon]

Ok cool

[rose galleon]

A lot

[spiral narwhal]

The disadvantage of this is the typing. Right now most items are just "normal SO data" objects, so the inventory expects ItemSO. ToolSO is of that type but if I create a monobehaviour to handle the mutable data, it wouldn't be and I'd have to rework the entire architecture.

[open field]

Assets\Scripts\MonkeButton.cs(14,9): error CS1955: Non-invocable member 'MonkeButton.Object' cannot be used like a method.
then it gives me this error

[slender nymph]

you've put the () in the wrong place. the original error actually showed you where to put it

[open field]

Object().GetComponent<Renderer>.material = white;
sound.Stop(); i did it here

[slender nymph]

yeah that's clear from the error

your variable is not a method. you invoke a method

[swift crag]

The script is the text file that contains your C# code. In your case, it's going to define a single class called SaveData.

SaveData doesn't inherit from UnityEngine.Object, so it is not a unity object.

You can construct a SaveData like this:

SaveData myData = new SaveData();

You now have an instance of SaveData in a variable named myData. myData holds an object, and the type of the object is SaveData.

You need to store this object somewhere that you can always access. A great choice would be your game controller. Your game controller is a Unity object, and you put in the "dont' destroy on load" scene so that it doesn't die when you change scenes.

[open field]

Assets\Scripts\MonkeButton.cs(14,16): error CS0119: 'GameObject.GetComponent<T>()' is a method, which is not valid in the given context this is the old one what should i do

[slender nymph]

this error literally shows you where the parentheses go. if you cannot understand that at this point, then stop what you are doing and go through the beginner c# courses pinned in this channel

[open field]

(the old error)

[slender nymph]

please learn to read while you're at it

[swift crag]

public class GameController : MonoBehaviour {
  public SaveData currentSaveData = new();

  void Awake() {
    // consider loading a save file here.
    // otherwise, just put the default scene and position in!
  }
  
  public void UpdateSaveData(string sceneName, Vector3 position) {
    currentSaveData.scene = sceneName;
    currentSaveData.position = position;
  }
}

It might look like this.

[open field]

Where does it shows you

[slender nymph]

why don't you read the error and find out?

[polar acorn]

Did you try looking at the parenthesis

To see where it expects parenthesis

[open field]

my english is 5% good idk what to say

[slender nymph]

you don't need to understand english to see where the () are in that error message

[open field]

just idk where to put it

[slender nymph]

#💻┃code-beginner message

[rose galleon]

You could tell him to figure it out without beimg so aggressive

[rose galleon]

U have to put them in the end of the name of the method you are trying to call. For example:
if(insert condition here)
{
Method();
}
void Method()

[summer stump]

They are calling GetComponent. The angle brackets are confusing them I guess

[slender nymph]

it's a good thing that their error message shows where to put the parentheses when calling GetComponent<T>()

[rose galleon]

Sometimes they are just a little slow. Still no need to be rude

[slender nymph]

your input was not needed here, nor were the pings

[summer stump]

Nor did it even help them... because it explained something different

[frigid sequoia]

Is there any reason why adding transformations constraints to a rb dissables the collisions with said object?

[slender nymph]

that shouldn't affect collisions like at all

is the issue that your collider is actually passing through an object it should collide with, or is it the physics messages like OnCollisionEnter not being called?

[grand hare]

where do I map my uv points on my plane mesh? do I map them on every vertex or what?

[frigid sequoia]

Like I have this thingy am I want it to have a capsulle collider, and it needs a rb cause all enemies do, is to hanlde knockback and collisions with the proyectiles; but if I use the normal rb, the item gets pushed away form the floor due to the capsule collider, so I checked the freeze position boxes (cause it is turret and is not meant to move anyways) and then it just ignores all collisions with everyting

Like that shouldn't do that right?

[slender nymph]

what do you mean by ignores all collisions #💻┃code-beginner message

[frigid sequoia]

Literally all collisions, nor the rb collisions, nor the trigger collider with the proyectiles

Everything is ignored

Just phases through

[slender nymph]

did you make the object kinematic

actually show the objects that should be colliding at runtime

[frigid sequoia]

If I do that it doesn't trigger the proyectile collision

But does collide with the rbs though

[slender nymph]

right and that is why i asked since you aren't bothering to provide any actual details.

you need to show the objects or provide any useful details if you want to get help. i do not want to play 20 questions with you just to get some absolutely basic info

[frigid sequoia]

This with a non-trigger collider and non-kinematic rb

The player gets "gently" pushed out

[slender nymph]

typically when someone wants to see an object, they want to see the inspector

[frigid sequoia]

If I use kinematic, the player cannot phase through, but the proyectiles do

This is the inspector

I don't know what you want to see there since I am like literally changing it everty 2 mins so...

[slender nymph]

now show the projectile and the player

[frigid sequoia]

Player

Proyectile

[slender nymph]

the projectile is a trigger collider. it will phase through anything because it does not physically collide

as for the player, it probably depends on how you actually move it

[frigid sequoia]

As far as I know it does with OnTriggerEnter(); if the object has a rb that's it

This does work with objects with the same setup but unfreeze constraints

[slender nymph]

the constraints have nothing at all to do with trigger messages. it just prevents physics from moving the objects on those axes. first you need to ensure you are receiving a physics message
then you need to make sure that your logic is correct. for example, why are you checking for a specific layer there? why not check for a tag or a component instead

[frigid sequoia]

I.... don't know, I created a layer AND a tag for both the enemy and the player, I think I had a reason for it before but I don't actually remember

I think it was to work with raycasts

[slender nymph]

also what object is that component even attached to. it seems like it should be attached to the turret, but your previous screenshot did not include anything other than the collider and RB

[frigid sequoia]

This script is attached to the proyectile; if you are refering to the BasicEnemyBehaviour is the generalist script for all enemies, so all of them should have it

[slender nymph]

your turret does not

also how are you even assigning the enemyCollisionLayer? because it isn't visible in the inspector

[frigid sequoia]

The function to destroy doesn't need it, just the rest

[frigid sequoia]

In the general proyectiles class; it stores all potential layers of collision for all proyectiles

[slender nymph]

show how you assign that

[late bobcat]

Hey there everyone, do you guys have any idea on why when my weapon reaches lvl 2 it instantiate a clone of the weapon, but it's inactive?
It should be like lvl 1= single weapon. lvl 2 = double weapon.
https://gyazo.com/f3d671f441ceec997be436b47e041fee Screenshot of the cloned object not being active when instantiated.
https://hatebin.com/mdcwyqpcse weapon code

[polar acorn]

Is the prefab active

[late bobcat]

ye it is

[slender nymph]

are you certain you don't have any code on the prefab causing it to disable?

[late bobcat]

https://gyazo.com/8489d7b6fd8c30af40d9b1bd774e96c9

[rare basin]

btw, perfect use case for a dictionary

    [SerializeField] private float purpleGemChance = 0.05f;
    [SerializeField] private float redGemChance = 0.1f;
    [SerializeField] private float blueGemChance = 0.3f;
    [SerializeField] private float greenGemChance = 0.4f;

[slender nymph]

perhaps in Start?

[polar acorn]

Is there a script on the prefab that has it deactivating itself

Show code for Orbit

[slender nymph]

we are seeing the code for Orbit lol

they disable it in Start

[late bobcat]

ye

[polar acorn]

Oh

[rare basin]

gameObject.SetActive(false);

[polar acorn]

I didn't see the class name, I thought we were looking at something else

Yeah that'll do it

[late bobcat]

okay so that's what's setting it to unactive

[frigid sequoia]

Is just the raw number manually >.<

It does work, I assure you of that, is working for other objects

[slender nymph]

prove it. put some logs in OnTriggerEnter and log what is being hit and its layer

[late bobcat]

I'm using a dictionary already but for gems there's only one

actually not it should one for each gem

[frigid sequoia]

It does work with anything on the Layer, doesn't need the enemyscript

[slender nymph]

with the turret . . .

[tame obsidian]

hi, let me ask you something. when we make a multiplier game on this steam, we make the server that creates the lobby. can we make this a steam server server, so no one in the lobby will be a server.

[wintry quarry]

[NonSerialized] would be better than HideInInspector

[slender nymph]

#archived-networking for networking related questions
but steam does not host servers for you

[tame obsidian]

okey, thanks

[frigid sequoia]

Oh, it does collide now, it needs an enemy script or be labelled as a wall, don't know why, shouldn't

Should check that

[frigid sequoia]

What's the actual difference?

[swift crag]

A serialized field is stored in the prefab/scene

Unity remembers its value for each instance of the component.

[HideInInspector] just stops the field from appearing in the inspector. It can still be serialized.

[wintry quarry]

hideInInspector still serializes it

[swift crag]

So if you change = 6 to = 5, all of the existing instances of the component will still have a 6 in that field

the field initializer is overwritten by the serialized value if one exists

[wintry quarry]

Not only that, because it's hidden in the inspector, you have no way to change it back

unless you change it in code

[frigid sequoia]

So, since I am not changing it at all it should be NonSerialized?

[wintry quarry]

but then you might as well just not serialize it at all

[swift crag]

Do you need a unique value to be remembered for each instance?

If not, make it non serialized

[frigid sequoia]

No, the layers are gonna remain the same all the time

[wintry quarry]

sure - realistically I'd just recommend making a const though:

public const int WallCollisionLayer = 6;```

[polar acorn]

Or just, like, use private

why is it public at all

[frigid sequoia]

So the children can acces it

[spiral narwhal]

if (inventorySlot?.Item is not ToolSO tool) return;

If inventorySlot is null, will this return?

[frigid sequoia]

Though could be just protected

[polar acorn]

protected

[swift crag]

you can't reliably use ?. with unity objects

a destroyed unity object compares equal to null

[rich adder]

is not doesn't work in unity does it?

[swift crag]

but it's not actually null

[wintry quarry]

is returns false for null

is not returns true for null

[swift crag]

Ah, but inventorySlot is a plain old class, isn't it?

So that's okay, nevermind.

[spiral narwhal]

This is not a MonoBehaviour

[swift crag]

(or plain old record)

[frigid sequoia]

So like that is the optimal way then?

[rich adder]

ohh

[slender nymph]

ScriptableObject still inherits from UnityEngine.Object so it can still be destroyed

[spiral narwhal]

It's not a ScriptableObject either

It's just a class

A C# class with no inheriting classes

[green island]

i need to be able to get collisions on an gamobject but i want to still be able to pass through the gamobject but when i set istrigger to true it doesnt get the collision and if its falls u cant walk through it

[rocky canyon]

istrigger works fine, but u must have a rigidbody.. preferably on the other object..
or to prevent it from falling you can lock the constraints (x,y,z) axis

[open kernel]

hi, don`t know where to ask this but how can I make a transparent img object? So an object thats just a png without background

[timber tide]

in the import settings when you select the object there's options for how to use alpha values

[open kernel]

k thanks

[green island]

i tried it but it doesnt register till i turn istrigger off

[rocky canyon]

OnCollision would work if u turn off isTrigger

[honest haven]

        {
            Debug.Log(hit);
            Vector3 newPosition = new Vector3(

                Mathf.RoundToInt(hit.point.y) != 0 ? Mathf.Round(hit.point.y / 2) * 0 : 0,
                Mathf.RoundToInt(hit.point.z) != 0 ? Mathf.Round(hit.point.z / 2) * 2 : 2);

            floorBuild.position = newPosition;
            
            if (Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0))
            {
                Instantiate(floorPrefab, newPosition, floorBuild.rotation);
            }
        }``` i have to press mouse 0 like upto 5 times to register. is et mouse button down correct

[timid saffron]

where did i go wrong

[timber tide]

the mesh you render it on must also use a transparent shader / have transparency selected

[rich adder]

read the error

[open kernel]

alright

[rich adder]

its pretty big syntax error

[green island]

but i want the object to be passthrough

[timber tide]

or use alpha clipping on opaque shaders

[rocky canyon]

            if (Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0))
            {
                // now raycast
                Instantiate(floorPrefab, newPosition, floorBuild.rotation);
            }
        }```

[honest haven]

line 24 ;

[rich adder]

are you just randomly guessing your way through this?

[rocky canyon]

ya, thats why i said IsTrigger... ur saying it only works when thats turned off... well the method that would work if the IsTrigger is turned off is OnCollisionEnter not OnTriggerEnter

[honest haven]

dont need to check if its true, its already doing that

[rocky canyon]

but a trigger is what u want.. your setup is just wrong apparently

[timid saffron]

kinda. there was no input key in unity manual

[rocky canyon]

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

[green island]

but how do i make the object itself dedect collisions and be passthrough

[timid saffron]

this doesnt work though

it wont switch cameras

[rocky canyon]

put the OnTriggerCode on the thing with the trigger collider

[rich adder]

what doesnt work about it?

[green island]

it is

[rocky canyon]

and have a rigidbody on the other thing..
#💻┃code-beginner message

this guide tells u what u should do..

[timid saffron]

when I press enter it wont switch between first person and second person cameras

[green island]

theres a rigedbody on both

[honest haven]

if(person.enabled) that is checking if true. if(!person.enable) that is checking for false.

[rocky canyon]

why have a rigidbody on the trigger object?

[green island]

i thought first that that was the problem

[rocky canyon]

show the code, and a screenshot of the object / trigger/ and its inspector

[rich adder]

are u using enter on the KeyPad ?

[timid saffron]

i have keyboard

[sour willow]

in mac, i do not have snippets for alot of functions can anyone help?

[timid saffron]

wait okay. i didnt know what keypad was my bad

[sour willow]

i have downloaded the snippet extensions

[timid saffron]

i saw key and thought keyboard

[rocky canyon]

theres two different enter keys

[rocky canyon]

show the heirarchy and the sceneview

[orchid trout]

What is the correct way to make unity allow me to delete/remove/whatever, completely remove a gameobject from the scene in edit mode?
I keep running into errors where it keeps telling me thats not how to delete a thing, but it wont tell me how to delete a thing

DestroyImmediate doesn't work

"InvalidOperationException: Destroying the root game GameObject of a Prefab Asset is not permitted.
InitiativeTracker.ClearInitiative () (at Assets/Scripts/UI/Initiative/InitiativeTracker.cs:147)"

[rocky canyon]

click the edit collider button

[orchid trout]

The result I want is the result you get from selecting it and hitting the delete key

[rocky canyon]

i dont see the collider in teh screenshot.. its size is .2 i wonder if its too small.. or underground or something

[rocky canyon]

make it wider

[rich adder]

yeah there is a regular enter buton key one, did you fix it ?

[rocky canyon]

ur rigidbody has a collider.. so if the code is in the Goal Script it should detect it just fine

[green island]

i set it to 1 it doesnt dedect it

[ripe kayak]

WHARRA DO

ignore the top X one

[rocky canyon]

when you press the play button the collider stays in the correct place?

show the code for GoalScript

[rocky canyon]

bro.. thats nots OnTriggerEnter

[timid saffron]

no

[ripe kayak]

oh i thought i did it before

[timid saffron]

im still trying though i think i will fix it

[short hazel]

Errors will be underlined red in the code directly when it's done

[rich adder]

put Debug.Log inside

[hexed terrace]

read the docs for GetKeyDown

[rich adder]

make sure its runninig

[rocky canyon]

i said that wayyy up here

Make sure to use the correct method.. if ur using IsTrigger.. you need OnTriggerEnter

OnCollision is just that.. like if the ball were to strike the box and roll backwards that would be OnCollisionEnter

[green island]

oh thanks that was the problem didnt know there where diffrent functions thought both must be oncollision

[green island]

no ; after Wait_for_intro

and when you call the function the w must be uppercase

[ripe kayak]

there two of wait for intro

line 13 or 18

[wintry quarry]

well for one you actually spelled it wrong on line 13

you also spelled Start wrong

Look at any basic C# code example. You do not put ; after the parameter list for a function like you did on line 16.

[ripe kayak]

alr

[sour willow]

definitely learn a c# tutorial before starting unity

[ripe kayak]

im doing great so far

made a main menu

and intro (wip)

[polar acorn]

Spelling is a requirement for programming

[ripe kayak]

and level with player and everything

[polar acorn]

There is no "close enough"

[orchid trout]

I found the problem, the problem is that my list of gameobjects is not a list of gameobjects

[polar acorn]

you have to spell the words right

[ripe kayak]

my eyes sometimes fail me

i will still try

done

yay

thx

[honest haven]

not sure on this one

[rocky canyon]

#💻┃code-beginner message

[honest haven]

Dont think thats right because i need to see where the ghost object is going to be positioned. then the instaiate just places the real object in that current positon

[rich adder]

debug your bool of raycast and see Why you need so many tries

[covert glade]

helllo is it better to code in vs 2022

or vsc?

[hybrid sundial]

I finished the first juniour programming lessons and the car game is cool, currently I planted the obstacles but I want to make it an infinate loop where it generates obstacles in random places, I don’t know where to start

[slender nymph]

visual studio is far better than vs code. it's easier to configure, less likely to break, and is a fully featured IDE right out of the box

[covert glade]

ok thanks :D

[covert glade]

i think your talking about procedural generation?

if yes thats where u start learning how to make infinite loops for generating obstacles

but how to code it? idk im still new i just know the idea

[spiral narwhal]

            var adjacentObjects = Physics2D.OverlapBoxAll(
                transform.position,
                new Vector2(1.1f, 1.1f),
                0f,
                _connectableLayers
            );

Why does this collect the game object itself? It has the same layer and is within the bounds, of course, but why would Unity include the calling object itself?

[covert glade]

is the method Awake same as the method Start?

[wintry quarry]

Physics2D.OverlapBoxAll is a static function.
it has no concept whatsoever of "the object that called the function"

[rich adder]

they are not the same no

they both run once, thats the only common thing

[covert glade]

for making components knowable by the script

do i use awake?

or start

[wintry quarry]

For initializing the object itself, use Awake

[rich adder]

either, but awake best for initialization

[spiral narwhal]

Ah okay thanks

[wintry quarry]

For initializing things that depend on other objects already being initialized, use Start

[spiral narwhal]

So how would I filter it out?

foreach (var adjacentCollider in adjacentObjects)
                if (adjacentCollider.gameObject is gameObject) continue;

In this case gameObject does not seem to work in that context

[covert glade]

like a variable?

[rich adder]

adjacentCollider.gameObject is gameObject ?

[covert glade]

a changing variable like int x

or something?

[wintry quarry]

Really vague question.

[wintry quarry]

depends

what are you changing it to?

[rich adder]

say you load your ScoreScript score by PlayerPrefs in awake, then you have another script like UI to read the score, thats where you use Start
uiText.text = thecoreScript.Score.ToString() (simple example, obv you would use events :P)

[wintry quarry]

Are you changing it to something that depends on some other object being initialized?

[covert glade]

idk

as iam following a course

so im tryna learn anything that idk

[honest haven]

GetKeyDown was inside fixed update didnt know that would break it. only added it there because i needed inside raycast. thanks fixed it

[rich adder]

yes never a good idea to add one frame events inside a physics update 😛

I keep my inputs polling to Update

[rich adder]

the best way to learn , start testing it yourself and see

[covert glade]

yeye

im tryna understand before i implement

and add stuff to figure out more stuff

[timid saffron]

I was eating sorry for late reply.

[rich adder]

you have a shiton of errors

[spiral narwhal]

public class ConnectableObject : DestroyableObject
    {
        // Called when Instantiate is used to create this instance
        private void OnEnable()
        {
            ConnectToAdjacentObjects();
        }

        private void ConnectToAdjacentObjects()
        {
            Debug.Log(transform.position); // <--- very wrong output
        }

Can anyone tell me why the position is so incredibly wrong? In fact, if I instantiate multiple objects, they all have that strange position

[timid saffron]

yeah i know 😄

also debug log wont show message

[rich adder]

well then its not surprising stuff isn't working lol

[timid saffron]

yeaa

[rich adder]

where did you assign the firstperson and secondperson

[timid saffron]

i actualy tried to put debug log everywhere but it wouldnt work so i asked chatgpt

[slender nymph]

keep in mind that the position you see in the inspector is the localPosition

[rich adder]

debug doesn't matter right now, cause this script is throwing errors because those two arent assigned

[rich adder]

this doesn't show me how you assigned them

in the script

show me the script on the gameobject

[timid saffron]

public Camera firstperson;
public Camera secondperson;

[rich adder]

this is just declaring them

[timid saffron]

this is for ship

main ship we control

[rich adder]

derp moment

[spiral narwhal]

But why is it always the same position no matter the instance?

[timid saffron]

what moment? 😄

[rich adder]

the script, you showed before my guy

on the gameobject

[slender nymph]

how should i know? you haven't shown how you specify the position when you spawn it. you just show where you log the position

[rich adder]

show where you put it on the gameobject @timid saffron

[rich adder]

the inspector..

[rich adder]

certainly you put this script on an object in the scene yes?

show that

[covert glade]

what does this give me an error?

[rich adder]

read what the error says

[spiral narwhal]

public void PlaceConnectableAt(ConnectableObject prefabToPlace, Vector2 position)
        {
            var copy = Instantiate(prefabToPlace, transform);
            copy.transform.position = new Vector3(
                Mathf.RoundToInt(position.x),
                Mathf.RoundToInt(position.y),
                10f
            );
        }

which in turn is called by

public void Interact(Vector3 mousePosition)
        {
            var playerPosition = PlayerMovement.Instance.FeetPosition;
            var roundedMousePosition =
                new Vector2(Mathf.RoundToInt(mousePosition.x), Mathf.RoundToInt(mousePosition.y));
            var distance = Mathf.RoundToInt(Vector2.Distance(
                roundedMousePosition,
                new Vector2(Mathf.RoundToInt(playerPosition.x), Mathf.RoundToInt(playerPosition.y))
            ));

            if (distance > _rangeInMeters) return;

            ObjectPlacer.Instance.PlaceConnectableAt(_prefabToPlace, roundedMousePosition);
        }

The position works absolutely as intended because I can see the objects rendered perfectly on screen, it's just the print statement that's off for some reason

[covert glade]

it says im using a vector2?

[slender nymph]

Rigidbody2D uses a Vector2 for velocity. it has no z axis

[covert glade]

so do i make z as 0?

[rich adder]

Vector2 doesnt have a z

[rich adder]

its 2 floats

[timid saffron]

inpsector

[wintry quarry]

just get rid of it

[rich adder]

no the struct doesnt have it at all lol

[wintry quarry]

you should be doing new Vector2 not new Vector3

[rich adder]

Unity turns V2 into V3 and 0s out the Z but thats if its not 2D

[slender nymph]

what do you mean the print statement is off? it is literally printing the world space position. that position is correct for the object the component is attached to

[covert glade]

oki

[timid saffron]

@rich adderdid i send you what you wanted?

[spiral narwhal]

Well it's the same position for every instantiated instance. That cannot be right

[rich adder]

do you see

you are trying to use something thats not assigned

the computer doesnt know which camera you want

[spiral narwhal]

Here is an example

[slender nymph]

don't make assumptions about what is or is not correct. it's obviously correct at the time you print the position. remember that OnEnable is called before Instantiate returns

so it's printing the position of the parent object because that is where the object is when OnEnable is called

[timid saffron]

damn cool. it works now

although i can only do it once ill work on it now

minor details i miss 😄

[spiral narwhal]

So I must create a custom method AfterInstantiation to delegate the OnEnable stuff to?

[slender nymph]

or you could just specify the position in the Instantiate call instead of on the line after

[spiral narwhal]

No, there is more that needs to be done on instantiation

I just left it out for simplicity here.

Thanks for the help :)

[slender nymph]

stop truncating your code when sharing it. jesus that's annoying. what if the issue was caused by something you left out?

"hey what's causing my issue?"
share the code
"here's only part of the code that i'm going to assume is the part that is at fault because i totally know what is causing it which is why i'm asking for help"

[spiral narwhal]

Yeah no. The log was literally the first thing of the method.

[timid saffron]

we did it

this is the code

im pretty sure it can be written better but

it works

[slender nymph]

if(Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Return))
{
  firstperson.enabled = !firstperson.enabled;
  secondperson.enabled = !secondperson.enabled;
}

would work assuming they are in the correct state when you start

[broken drift]

can someone help what's causing this error? these are the codes

[timid saffron]

damn

this makes a lot more sense

i gotta think outside the box sometime soon

[slender nymph]

https://unity.huh.how/runtime-exceptions/nullreferenceexception

[polar acorn]

Something on line 27 of playerCombat is null but you're trying to use it anyway

[slender nymph]

nah you gotta get into my mindset. think inside the box

[modest dust]

bunny stats are null, whatever that is, most likely

you're using that in your newHP setter

And dear god, it hurts my eyes to look at how you name these methods

[slender nymph]

yeah the _ prefix should be reserved for non-public fields. it should never be used on anything public or on methods ever

[hallow gate]

you never set isMoving to true so you start that coroutine every frame

[wintry quarry]

You're starting a new coroutine every frame

this is way overcomplicated

[hallow gate]

what am i supposed to do

[slender nymph]

go back to the tutorial you copied that from and set isMoving to true in the same place the tutorial does

[hallow gate]

the tutorial guy said this do u have a better variant?

This function is always returning the number in the box as an argument instead of the selected index of the dropdown. The object in question is a TMP_Dropdown

Could someone help me with the raycast? I think some value is not what it should be because some tiles are incorrectly "found" and therefore the player can't place an object there.

[wintry quarry]

why are you using Raycast here exactly?

[slender nymph]

yeah that should just be an OverlapBox

[spiral narwhal]

To check if there already is a "farming field" where the user clicks

[wintry quarry]

I think it should just be... a position calculation followed by a Grid.WorldToCell()

[slender nymph]

or a CheckBox if none of the info about what is there is actually needed

[wintry quarry]

User clicking query should be Physics2D.GetRayIntersection

[spiral narwhal]

It's not actually a tile. Those are all sprites

[wintry quarry]

Ray ray = Camera.main.ScreenPointToRay(Input.mousePosition);
RaycastHit2D hit = Physics2D.GetRayIntersection(ray, Mathf.Infinity, _placeableLayers);```

Raycast is for rays within the 2d world
GetRayIntersection is for this.

[pseudo ermine]

Hey, I am currently working on a scoreboard that should increase when winObjects tag is checked/found, it increases to one and stays at 1.

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

public class landmineCounter : MonoBehaviour
{

    public GameObject mineDefusedCounter;
    public Text DefusedCounterText;
    public float defusedScore = 0f;

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

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

        
    }

    public void OnCollisionEnter2D(Collision2D collision)
    {
        if (collision.gameObject.tag == "WinObjects")
        {
            Debug.Log("Collision detected with WinObjects");
            defusedScore ++;
            Debug.Log("Score increased to: " + defusedScore);
            DefusedCounterText.text = "" + defusedScore;
        }
    }

}

[spiral narwhal]

But the roundedPosition in my example already has the position calculated

So the mouse doesn't really play a role anymore

It should just check if in that position, there is a gameobject with the layer

[wintry quarry]

but you're rounding from the wrong position

do this to get the right position, then round

Oh wait you're doing a raycast to see if there's an object there?

This is kinda... all backwards

You should have a grid

and look up the grid coordinates

[spiral narwhal]

Yes

[wintry quarry]

I.e. the objects places should be looked up in a 2D array or a Dictionary

using physics for this is going to cause a lot of issues, performance being one of them

[spiral narwhal]

Ah so a simple check if there is a sprite in the list with key [position]? Yes, that could work

[wintry quarry]

ANd I highly recommend using this component:
https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/class-Grid.html

This makes converting world space and grid coordinates and vice versa super easy

You can use stuff like
https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/GridLayout.WorldToCell.html

[timid saffron]

how can float not contain a definition for x?

its right there

[slender nymph]

x is a completely separate variable that is not part of the float struct

you just happen to have a float called x

[timid saffron]

okay. I changed the name

[green copper]

I'd like to make it so when the player selects an option in one dropdown menu, two other dropdowns are set back to their default value. When I run this with the setAllDropDowns0(); enabled, on selecting an option the dropdown remains open and all options when selected remain selected until the entire dropdown has checkmarks

[timid saffron]

the reason i assigned a flot to x y z was because:

[slender nymph]

there are beginner c# courses pinned in this channel. please do them

because, again, your variables that happen to be floats are not part of the float struct

The code for adjusting the character's velocity to be more clear

[polar acorn]

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/language-reference/builtin-types/floating-point-numeric-types
Show me where in the definition of float there is a property called x

[noble summit]

hello, i know the basics of c# and want to learn unity, should i start with the "junior programmer" course or something else?

[slender nymph]

start with the essentials pathway first then do the junior programmer pathway. essentials covers a lot of stuff for the editor and just game development in general

[swift crag]

It's also good to get some reinforcement.

[buoyant knot]

If your code is simulating a collision, then you want to change velocity after collision.

Mastery comes through repetition!

Alright and why exactly? I can't really find defined explanations on the internet

[buoyant knot]

idk exactly what your goal is here. it sounds like you want to simulate the impulse of a rigidbody colliding with an object of infinite mass

[smoky niche]

Well I have collisions with raycasts. For example if I'm running right and hit a wall, it will detect the wall and place my character perfectly against that wall using the hit.distance of the ray.

[buoyant knot]

It might help to know how my physics engine handles it. My custom physics engine does the following:

1. If object is in reference frame, Cast to try to translate, without modifying velocity.
2. Based on velocity, calculate desired displacement for one step of simulation (of fixedDeltaTime)
3. Cast to move by that vector, or until the first thing we hit. Whichever comes first. If we got a hit, update velocity based on the angle. Move object there.
4. Collide and slide algorithm: Repeat step 3 with whatever remaining displacement, deflected along the surface normal we hit.

also, in 2D, if you have simple colliders, use Collider2D.Cast instead of Raycast. Collider2D.Cast is only slightly more expensive, but gives better info for moving the whole thing.

I can send code at some point, because this algorithm is complex because of the edge case where the tiny amount of accuracy in how much we move makes a big difference. But my computer is in the shop right now.

like, if your RaycastHit2D says to move by X, and you move by X, you’ll be in contact but not able to cast or something. There’s a correction factor so you move just enough to be in contact to trigger collision callbacks, far enough to cast again without just reading the same hit again

This is because Physics2D is based off of Box2D, which gives every polygon an edge radius (for math reasons), and this edge radius becomes extremely important when you want to move an object to be right in contact with another

[smoky niche]

Alright interesting. Seems a bit complex indeed haha, but I'll try some things out

I can also show you my code to see what should be changed

[buoyant knot]

As far as your original question goes, for modifying velocity, as long as you calculate initial desired displacement based off the previous velocity, it doesn’t really matter when you change velocity before or after. As long as you get everything in before anything that depends on velocity can access it (eg physics sim)

But you usually want to do it after you cast because you need the normal of the hit to modify the velocity

[smoky niche]

Alright sounds good

Thanks!

[buoyant knot]

sure. sorry this is very complex lol

[smoky niche]

Would it be better if I send it in DM or here?

[buoyant knot]

once my computer comes back from the shop in a few days, I can send you code that might aid you.

[smoky niche]

Awesome

[buoyant knot]

DM or pastebin here

[smoky niche]

Alright I'll DM it

[buoyant knot]

i do warn that it gets complicated

[smoky niche]

I know, hopefully I can wrap my head around it

[buoyant knot]

This might give some guidance. This code will not be complete to copy for 2D because of the edge radius thing, but it gives the initial idea:

[vast vessel]

to get a random element from an array, do i need to do myArray[Random. Range(0, myArray, Length)]; or myArray[Random. Range(0, myArray, Length-1)];?
most resources online dont subtract one from the array length, but it dosnt make any sence to me, since the index of the last item should be one less than then the length of the array

[rare basin]

Random.Range for ints is exclusive

(0,5) for example will generate from possible numbers: 0,1,2,3,4

so you don't substract -1

[vast vessel]

oh, didnt know that

thanks

[small dagger]

is there a way to see the type of a component in the editor?

[rare basin]

wdym

type of a component?

[small dagger]

I am using a VFX component and I want to reference it in code, but I'm not sure what data type to reference it by

like when I do GameObject.GetComponent<T>(), I'm not sure what the T is supposed to be

[short hazel]

Usually searching for

unity [your component name] scripting api
In your search engine will show a link where you can see what type it is, and which namespace it's in

Example for "particle system"
It's class ParticleSystem, and you need using UnityEngine to reference it

[small dagger]

ah ok thanks, I think I found it, I was looking for visualEffectAsset I think

I think a quicker way to do it than just googling it i s clicking the little question a mark icon in the editor, that opens the API on that component directly

[rotund quest]

hi

when i tried to switch my project platform from windows to android the sprites started to look weird, does anyone know why?

[swift crag]

The choice of platform is probably affecting how the textures get compressed

This isn't a code problem. You should ask about it in #💻┃unity-talk

[scarlet hamlet]

Hi there 🙂 Would anyone happen to know if it's possible to have a nested class utilise [ExecuteInEditMode]?
I basically have a class with some logic being done on Update() in the Unity Editor, but when I nest this class in another script, it stops executing in Edit Mode

[slender nymph]

ExecuteInEditMode will not affect NestedUpdater because it does not inherit from MonoBehaviour so there's nothing to execute during edit mode. You could have the ParentClass component execute in edit mode and call NestedUpdater's Update method though

[scarlet hamlet]

Aah that makes a lot of sense, thank you 🙂

[opaque mortar]

can you suggest a vid for makeing guns

[eternal needle]

There are many tutorials out there, but it really depends on your use case. There are many things to consider, like are you making complex guns? Will they have weapon parts, recoil, ADS?

[vapid mesa]

hi i do this for animation switching but it don't work

[opaque mortar]

well in say gun more like a hand that tags peple and has a cool down

[slender nymph]

keep in mind that GetKeyDown is only true for the first frame the key is held down. so the next frame, if this code executes it will set the Speed parameter back to 0

[vapid mesa]

what can i do to fix it ??

[polar acorn]

Gonna be awfully hard to notice a change in the animation that's 1 frame long

[polar acorn]

instead of checking if the key was pressed this frame, check if the key is currently held with GetKey

[cunning rapids]

Yo can anyone help me in #archived-urp ? I have a massive issue with my camera but this channel is more active and I can't post non-code-related things here. It's late where I live and I need help

[slender nymph]

don't crosspost

[cunning rapids]

How is this crossposting if I'm not sneding any unrelated stuff here?

I'm just asking for more help

Last anyone even touched the URP channel was like 4 days

[slender nymph]

you're literally posting in another channel to get help in the channel you posted your question in. that is considered crossposting and you are posting off topic since it is not code related

[cunning rapids]

Nevermind apparently it's only been a day

I guess I can wait

[opaque mortar]

well in say gun more like a hand that tags peple and has a cool dow

[vapid mesa]

the animation change only if it's finish you know if we can "break" an animation

[polar acorn]

Uncheck exit time in the transition

[vapid mesa]

thanks it work

i was trying to make this animation since one month

[swift crag]

the exit time is when the transition is actually allowed to happen

if you have no exit time, you must have at least transition condition (or else you'd always instantly leave the state)

[polar acorn]

Which can sometimes be useful for organization purposes. I have actually done those sort of blank state transitions just to make the graphs look nicer 😅

[twin bison]

is it normal on a project with about 10 scripts that every time i make a tiny change on a script i have to wait almost a minute to finally can click on the play button?

[rare basin]

it depends on your PC specs

[charred spoke]

10 scripts no, either your cpu is very slow or something else is wrong

[twin bison]

It's so strange. I have not the best not the worst cpu. It's a AMD Ryzen 7 3700X

I don't get it why it's so extremely slow.

[polar acorn]

Remember that unless you're using assembly definitions it's recompiling every script. Including ones in any assets you have imported

[twin bison]

• AMD Ryzen 7 3700X
• 32 Gig Ram
• M2 SSD
• RTX 2080 Super

[twin bison]

yes I mean it was not the fastest when i started the project fresh, but its a very tiny beginner project and the compile time went up like crazy

[rare basin]

any assets imported

to the project?

that might be "Heavy"?

[twin bison]

what troubleshoot steps can i take? I was installing a uncompatible shader a few days ago, which i uninstalled becaues it was for URP

[rare basin]

close the project

delete your Library folder

and re-open it

[twin bison]

ok I will try 🙂 thx

[sharp bloom]

Hi, I'm trying to modify the colorSeed variable from code to get a random color for certain objects as they're spawned. This does not work, what I am doing wrong here?

[twin bison]

25.000 items deleted wtf

[rare basin]

you dont have .gitignore for your Library folder?

[polar acorn]

Nothing here implies git

[rare basin]

true lol my brain is washed

don't know why i thought about git changes

[twin bison]

it is the first projct i tried unity git though 😄

[polar acorn]

Have you tried manually dialing in values between 1 and 9 to see how it affects the material. It might be that it's not enough to affect the random range node

[sharp bloom]

Yes, it does nothing. I seems to not access the _colorSeed at all.

[polar acorn]

It looks like just such a small change in the seed is not producing enough variance to cause your Random Range node to roll a different value

[sharp bloom]

Ah, I read that wrong. Changing the colorseed from the inspector works

But it changes the color for all of the objects

Which is not what I want, I want several objects with slight variation in color

[polar acorn]

I'm not sure how material property blocks work to be honest, but maybe you just need to do renderer.material.setColor? Accessing it will allocate a new material instance which is a bit of a performance hit but that's what you want to be happening anyway since each one should have a different material, right?

[rare basin]

because you are changing it

to the original material, which changes it to all objects that has that material assigned

you need to work on a material instance instead

[twin bison]

that was it. Now it's back to just a bit slow 😄

thank you very much

[rare basin]

worth refreshing it from time to time

[sharp bloom]

Even if I do this, the colorSeed variable still doesn't change in the inspector

[polar acorn]

Are you sure the properties internal name is _colorSeed in the graph?

[green copper]

is there a way to make a sprite fit with letterboxing/margin instead of stretch or tile?

[sharp bloom]

Supposed to be this?

Removing the underscore does nothing either

[polar acorn]

Are you sure that code is running at all? What happens if you log rend.material.GetFloat("_colorSeed") after setting it?

If nothing logs, then the code simply isn't running.

[sharp bloom]

Imma see myself out

I had just disabled the script from inspector

[trim gulch]

Hello! I need some help
I'm working (for the first time) with a State Manager and States for my objects, and one of them is a gun
Say I have an "Inactive state script" for the gun where the player can't fire it, and an "active state script" where he can. So in the active, I want to give it a prefab of a bullet so it can instantiate it to shoot. However, as only my state manager script is actually atacched to the object, I don't know how to do it because I can't link it in the inspector. What can I do?

[eternal needle]

You might need to show the code, because I don't see why you cannot link it in the inspector. What's stopping you from just putting a field for the prefab? You could have another script which handles firing, where you plug in the prefab. Then the active state just calls a function on the firing script, it doesnt need to know about the projectile itself

[trim gulch]

The Object only has attached this script

The script calls classes from others scripts that are the states

[queen adder]

i need help. So basically im groundchecking using a layermask array, however i dont know how to set the value of any point in the array. it hard to explain so ill try make is sound easier. my public layermask has two values and for the groundcheck i put layerMask[] but it needs a value inside the square brackets

[trim gulch]

However if I were to write a variable in the scripts for the states (which are separate) it wouldn't show up on the inspector

[summer stump]

1, why an array?
2, set the values in the inspector

[polar acorn]

Why do you need multiple masks?

[queen adder]

bc i have two different layers

[polar acorn]

So why do you need two different masks

[queen adder]

one is ignored by player

nono wait

[polar acorn]

Okay, so they are used in different cases, it's not just a mask that multiple layers are in?

[summer stump]

MyLayerMaskArray[] = new LayerMask[] { mask1, mask2 }

[eternal needle]

Make a field in the current script and then pass the value to the state that needs it. Or do as I said above and make another script to handle firing. Then pass a reference of the new script to your state

[polar acorn]

If that's the case, and it's just two masks with different uses, I'd just make two fields with descriptive names

[trim gulch]

Okok

Thank you!

[polar acorn]

It'd be different if they were supposed to be used in the same place right after each other but it seems like you're going to be using these in different places

[dire tartan]

im trying to make a button which interacts with physics eg if you throw a box on it or stand on it it pushes down how would i go about doing that?

[eternal needle]

Which part do you struggle with? Sounds like you know what to do since you described all the steps. Make a button (probably just a cube), uses physics messages to know that something touched it, move it down when touched

[dire tartan]

i suppose setting it up

i have an idea of how to do it just not familiar with unitys functions

like if i want it to have resistence for example so an object has to be enough weight

[eternal needle]

I assume you're making a pressure plate sort of thing, it really should be simple enough just using OnCollisionEnter and Exit. I made something similar.
With the weight, you just check that on the rigidbody. On your script that handles all this you can just have a float which you plug in to check what the minimum weight should be

[dire tartan]

okay thank you

i normally just look for tutorials so i can get an understanding of how to go about it but i couldnt find one for what i was looking for

and for the button to go up and down would i use an animation and swap between the two when something is on it?

[eternal needle]

Only thing I'd suggest on top of all the obvious stuff is add a timer and a counter. The timer so it does not constantly go between Enter and Exit. And counter so it does not "enter" multiple times

[eternal needle]

Animation is fine, or you can directly move its position. I initially did animation but it's somewhat weird if you want it fully customizable. Youd need an animation for every case rather than plugging in the numbers directly.

[dire tartan]

okay i see

thanks for the help

[queen adder]

BASICALLY IF U PUT A WHILE COMMAND IN THE WRONG PLACE AND PLAYTEST THE CODE COULD TRY RUNNING FOREVER AND U CAN'T STOP IT WHAT DO I DO I HAVENT SAVED IN 4 HOURS

[swift crag]

save more often and turn off caps lock

killing the editor won't make you lose any of your script files

just scene data that you haven't saved

[queen adder]

yh ive been mapbuilding

[polar acorn]

https://blog.theknightsofunity.com/can-restore-unsaved-scene-unity-crash/

[queen adder]

is there a way to kill playtest

oh thx

is it outdated?

[polar acorn]

A bit but it still works

Some of the names are probably different now

but there's still a temp scene you can rename to .unity to restore the scene

[queen adder]

this one?

[polar acorn]

That is probably where I would look for backup scenes yes

[queen adder]

tysm one more thing tho

basically i want it so my camera plays different music depending on y level; the problem is how do i play it after the musics changed bc i cant put it in the if statement bc it restarts the song every frame

[polar acorn]

Check if it's not playing before playing anything

[queen adder]

how do i do that

[polar acorn]

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/AudioSource-isPlaying.html

[dire tartan]

how do i have an animation play and stay in the final frame of the animation instead of looping

[teal viper]

Disable looping on the animation clip.

[autumn tusk]

unity is messing me up

making a script to disable camera rotation, did this by making a continously updating script that sets the camera z transform rotation to 0 but unity is being very confusing with quaternions

[polar acorn]

What are you trying to pull with (Quaternion.identity,0f)

[autumn tusk]

basically the idea i have is that my player character rotates

and i have the camera parented to the player character

so when i move it spins the camera as well as the player

i need to freeze the camera's z rotation

[polar acorn]

The solution to this is just don't have the camera be a child of the player

[timid saffron]

im also looking into this stuff lately. please ping me if you find a solution

[autumn tusk]

make a script that constantly moves the center of the camera location to the player's location

[teal viper]

That doesn't explain that code abomination on the right side of the assignment 😅

[polar acorn]

Or just use Cinemachine and be done with it

[teal viper]

Is it a tuple..? Rotation doesn't take a tuple

[timid saffron]

heres mine

[timid saffron]

yeah i did that. not the stop rotation part. im learning the basics of c hashtag now

[teal viper]

Read the errors. They basically tell you what is wrong.

[polar acorn]

I think that particular error was solved a while ago

but both of you should just be using Cinemachine for camera following

[timid saffron]

yes it was but because im so new to c hashtag i couldnt even follow the instructions or answers given

[timid saffron]

makes sense

i used that iin2d works well

[timid saffron]

im not asking for help though. i was just trying to show the guuy that im also looking into thiis stuff lately too

how can I make a switch that only executes the code once?

        switch (playerState){
            case IDLE : {
                //PlayAnimation(client.player, idle, false);
                client.player.sendMessage(Text.literal("idle"));
                break;

                break;
            }
      }

I got this lil code, and I can't figure out how to do it :(

mmm I got it in an update method

I think I can fix it by "using" the switch every time a change is done rather than leaving it on update method

but either way, it'd surely help me get better at coding, how could I go about it even if the switch is on update?

[polar acorn]

Switches already only execute the code once

Update runs every frame

[teal viper]

Add a bool check that you set to true only when the state changes. Or check if the new state is not the same as previous.

[little cradle]

yup yup, but could you help me understanding how to do the bool check? I kind of tried that but I can't figure it out :(

[gritty notch]

does anyone know how i can make a loading bar for a method? i have a method that generates terrain, i want a loading bar that corresponds with the progress of that.

[rich adder]

make the function async

[random patrol]

Async in Unity runs on the main thread, and I am assuming there would have to be more logic behind it so it doesn’t lock until it is complete. Something like do X calculations then pause and update the progress bar.

[north kiln]

Async runs wherever you tell it to run, and yields however the function yields

there is no magic

[ivory bobcat]

Consider using tasks if you need multithreading else async would occur on the thread that it's started - you'd just be able to run asynchronous statements.
https://medium.com/@sonusprocks/async-await-in-c-unity-explained-in-easy-words-571ebb6a9369
https://simsekahmett.medium.com/multithreading-vs-asynchronous-programming-in-net-core-1f1380c4946f
A coroutine could suffice but I'm guessing you've likely already considered that.

[north kiln]

Yes, you would generally want to have the work broken down so you can send a callback to the UI

[random patrol]

Async doesn’t work the same in Unity mono as it does for .net. Why Unity released all their custom Async stuff

[north kiln]

You can still do Task.Run to start a threaded task, you can still switch tasks to other threads

[random patrol]

Pretty sure last time I looked into it it doesn’t, but that was a while ago

[rose galleon]

how do I use transform.position to make one object go to the position of the other one?
For example: I have a Vector3 stored in TPLocation, and I want to make PlayerLocation go to the TPLocation

[teal viper]

Pretty sure it was like that at least a few years already(4-5?)

[random patrol]

Is playerLocation a vector3 or Transform? If Transform then just PlayerLocation.position = TPLocation;

[random patrol]

I have been using Unity for like 13 years now XD

[rose galleon]

TPLocation = Player.transform.position;
What about GameObjects? The Player being an assigned GameObject, is that how i change its position?

[random patrol]

Just do .transform to get the transform from a GameObject

[rose galleon]

the top line is the code I am using now, and I can see it is somehow wrong, because I use the same structure to assign a value to the TPLocation, but I dont know how to fix it

[copper perch]

What I am trying to do:

I have an FPS gun called the Twin Turbos, the Twin Turbos appear in the weapon Holder in each unity scene with the Unity Starter Assets FPS Controller.
I am trying to make the Twin Turbos fire and getting a sprite fire button to work with the gun firing animation in sync.
I want to be able to move while firing.
I am going to send you some scripts that were on the Twin Turbos the way it worked before was the old way in these scripts.

Before the firing button was not working properly, like I could only move and fire at the same time if I presses, and hold the sprite button and move, and if I move and then press the fire button the gun does not fire.
So, can you help me make the Twin Turbos fire while moving? I think the ray cast is done in the scripts I am going to send to you.

The reload that works with these Twin Turbos guns uses a On Click Function.
So, the way I imagine it is, if the player presses the fire button while moving the twin turbos will fire over and over again, so the Twin turbos shoot Animation is playing over and over in the Animation.
If the player presses the fire button for less than a second, at least the Twin Turbo Animation will play at least once (like the left Twin turbos pistol fires and then the right Twin Turbos pistol fires once)
Can someone help me do this on discord screenshare.
Currently the Twin turbos are not firing.
I have tried studying keywords, and functions in C# but no luck.

[native seal]

is something like this possible? how can I combine two interfaces into one?

[random patrol]

Yes you can only have one class inheritance, but many interfaces. Just be warned if you get into generic interfaces if you have multiple like IMyInterface<int> IMyInterface<bool> there will be an issue

[native seal]

how come? so is what I wrote correct?

[teal viper]

Does it not work? Is there an error?

[eternal needle]

you dont really need that IHoverable as an interface

[native seal]

what should I use then?

[random patrol]

What you wrote is good yes. The generic situation is because it can’t make sure you aren’t using the same type twice(causing a conflict), but it is Solved by making a sub interfaces aka IMyBool : IMyInterface<bool> and IMyFloat : IMyInterface<float>

[teal viper]

Where did the generics come from?😅

[eternal needle]

you can just have a script with
: MonoBehaviour, IPointerEnterHandler, IPointerExitHandler
and implement the methods you want

[random patrol]

Just generally how interface works

[native seal]

i know but if I raycast to check for a component, i wont be able to call the other

so in my mind I should combine them no?

[teal viper]

Not sure what you're trying to achieve, but this should compile if you remove the method declarations from your interface.

[open apex]

accidentally deleted a script from assets

any way to get it back?

I clicked cancel on the last second

fuck my life

[limber willow]

is it in the recycling bin?

[timber tide]

Yeah, that make sense. I combine these specific interfaces too through another interface just to remove the clutter of having my classes implementing the 8+ or so IPointer interfaces when I use them

[north kiln]

Other than the recycling bin, you should be using version control; it should not be as easy as accidentally deleting something to lose your project or assets

[limber willow]

```no idea why you need property here

[vale karma]

i practiced a bit with what getters and setters are used for, and plan to use some more code in those

[summer stump]

You can just use auto-propertied instead of making backing fields (like sensitivity)

[vale karma]

auto-propertied?

[summer stump]

Typo

Properties

[vale karma]

lol what are thooooose

[summer stump]

public Vector2 Sensitivity { get; private set; }

No need for the lowercase sensitivity

[vale karma]

wait so does it create a variable Vector2 sensitivity or what?

[summer stump]

It does behind the scenes automatically (thus the name AUTO property)

[gaunt ice]

it will create a backup field

[vale karma]

okay, so using Sensitivity is basically using sensitivity in its place?

[gaunt ice]

you dont need to care its name

[vale karma]

okay, i keep thinking of it as a function

[gaunt ice]

property is function

Depends on the use case and the meaning you put into "in its place"

[vale karma]

like you would use Sensitivity in your code and not sensitivity?

[teal viper]

Yes

[vale karma]

but technically it is still a variable its saving to

[teal viper]

If it has a setter, yes. That doesn't change the nature of reference vs value types though.

[vale karma]

im understanding it a bit more today than yesterday, makin some sense

https://paste.ofcode.org/sBtDCtMHnhzyxcX82AFcAu im gettin some errors only on the left ViewRotation.x -= and ViewRotation.y += It only gave that after i changed the unclean getter and setter to the auto property

[teal viper]

It's the same issue as yesterday: you can't modify a field of value type variable returned by a property.

[vale karma]

i recognize that, but i dont know how i would fix that

im looking at the error on the web atm

[teal viper]

I think I explained that yesterday too.

How do you modify transform.position?

Did you ever try setting transform.positon.x = someValue?

[vale karma]

yea i guess

[teal viper]

So you address it the same way.

[brazen narwhal]

it finds the gameobject correctly, however, it returns the localPosition when using position and not the world space position. any reason why?

[tepid summit]

use a bool

[brazen narwhal]

this is the prefab setup

[tepid summit]

is the script on pistol or barrel

[teal viper]

That's not possible. It must be the world position.

[brazen narwhal]

player, left ss is a scriptableobject, right script is on player

[tepid summit]

"world space position"

[brazen narwhal]

ik

[tepid summit]

oof

[brazen narwhal]

thats why its weird

[teal viper]

Ah I see. You're getting the transform of the prefab, so of course it would be wrong

[tepid summit]

whoops

[tepid summit]

i have a bind on my mouse that types

you have been darkevicted!

[brazen narwhal]

should it be the gameobject?

[teal viper]

It should be the transform of the instance, not the prefab.

[brazen narwhal]

gotcha

stupid mistake

thanks

[tepid summit]

meh

we all make them

[acoustic sun]

I keep getting this error from Unity when I try to run the game

error CS2012: Cannot open 'D:\Unity Projects\game\Library\Bee\artifacts\1300b0aE.dag\UnityEngine.UI.dll' for writing -- 'The requested operation cannot be performed on a file with a user-mapped section open. : 'D:\Unity Projects\game\Library\Bee\artifacts\1300b0aE.dag\UnityEngine.UI.dll''

[rich adder]

did you build your game to the project folder?

[acoustic sun]

I did

[rich adder]

ohh try building somewhere else, like desktop

[acoustic sun]

I do not have a desktop unfortunately

[vale karma]

Im gettin a bunch of errors on each update frame and also some concerning the same line of code. I cant look around or even debug.log the input in the other class to see what its doing. https://paste.ofcode.org/6L7g4j7DnYHEE7J3ZRwp9v

[rich adder]

you dont have a folder Desktop ?

[wintry quarry]

Literally any other folder

[wintry quarry]

Seems very obvious... There's only one thing on line 40 that could be null

The other class is irrelevant

[vale karma]

yea, but what am i doin that im not seeing

[wintry quarry]

You never assigned that reference

In fact you made it readonly, ensuring it can never be assigned

[acoustic sun]

Ohhhh so like a new folder to place it?

[vale karma]

LOL visual studio suggested i do that, of course its wrong ahha

[wintry quarry]

private readonly NewInputSystemValues InputValues

This is an unassigned reference

[vale karma]

okay, so i should assign it in start? and remoe the read only?

how do i keep its protection level though?

[wintry quarry]

Usually in Awake

[rich adder]

have you saved files to a computer before lol

[vale karma]

oh crap i totally forgot about awake vs start and all that

[acoustic sun]

I have lol

Sorry I got confused

[vale karma]

i removed private readonly and put public just to test, and put it in the awake method, i got like one less error, but still the same

[acoustic sun]

But i am not sure how to do that if I have all of my projects saved

[rich adder]

do what ?

[acoustic sun]

Like I have a folder but its saying that the error CS2012 and how it cant be performed, something like that. I looked for soultions online such as restarting Unity and my laptop but it does not seem to help

[rich adder]

did you try saving it to another folder on your computer that is not the project?

[acoustic sun]

How do I save it into another folder other than the one it is saved in? Because when I tried doing that, it would not let me

[rich adder]

screenshot where you are trying to do and whats not letting you

[wintry quarry]

Did you actually assign the reference??

That's the main thing you need to do that you didn't do.

Wdym by "put it in the awake method"? Put what there?

[vale karma]

yea when that didnt work i put PlayerInputValues = new Vector2(0f, 0f);

and it still said the same thing

[wintry quarry]

What what didn't work

Show what you tried

[wintry quarry]

That's the console window

Show the code that you tried

[vale karma]

{
    PlayerInputValues = new Vector2(0f, 0f);
}

[wintry quarry]

You need to assign this reference

You haven't even made an attempt to do so

It's not going to work until you do

[vale karma]

i changed it to this public NewInputSystemValues InputValues;

[wintry quarry]

Ok and then... Did you assign it somewhere?

[vale karma]

ooohkay i see what ur sayin

[hybrid tapir]

how do i check if a value was changed in the last frame?

   if (intVal != intVal) {
   
   }
}```

[wintry quarry]

Store the previous value in a separate variable and compare them.

But the better option is just to do the thing as you change the value

[vale karma]

how did i not catch that? I guess it didnt register to me that what i was referencing was a script. fsr i thought it was a variable

[wintry quarry]

The variable is the reference

The thing it is referencing is the copy of the script

[vale karma]

yes

[wintry quarry]

Do you understand what a reference is?

Think of it like a piece of paper that you can write an address on.

The variable is the piece of paper

The thing it's referencing is the actual house

But your piece of paper was blank. You didn't write an address on it

[vale karma]

that makes sense

i got that error solved, but one last error "Rotation quaternions must be unit length". I tried to normalize the line of code but didnt work

[wintry quarry]

What line of code

[vale karma]

58

[wintry quarry]

Which is...?

[vale karma]

rb.MoveRotation(BodyRotation);

https://paste.ofcode.org/5fHwLjBrvsAzWrP3jWRtKs

[wintry quarry]

It's because that's getting called before you assign BodyRotation to anything

It's a default Quaternion, which is all zeros

Which isn't a valid Quaternion

[vale karma]

fixed gets called before update?

[rich adder]

How and When do you get this error

[wintry quarry]

Yes FixedUpdate is before Update

[vale karma]

okay

[acoustic sun]

When I was trying to publish

[rich adder]

publish?

[wintry quarry]

You should initialize it in Start or Awake

[acoustic sun]

As WebGL Project

[rich adder]

are you doing Build and run?

[acoustic sun]

Not at all

[rich adder]

ok well i don't have context and id rather not play 20 questions maybe give more info ?

this prob not code related, should in #🌐┃web or #💻┃unity-talk

[acoustic sun]

Ohh okay thank you so much then

So sorry

[vale karma]

if i do that wont i need to do that for the other classes that use their variables to make the value of BodyRotation?

[wintry quarry]

What?

I don't know what you mean by that

[vale karma]

like i put BodyRotation = Quaternion.Euler(bodyRotationYOnly); which made the error go away, but i figured if you needed to use bodyRotationYOnly as well then ud need to call whatever gets that variable too

also no error codes but my character still cant look around loll probably bc i havent even attatched the camera to it

[wintry quarry]

I mean it's just going to use the initial value of that other variable if you do this

Which is probably a zero vector

[vale karma]

i dont know what the right way to go about this is anymore

[wintry quarry]

I don't really know what you're trying to do here, but your code is definitely overcomplicated

[vale karma]

haha yes it is

[wintry quarry]

Like why do you have a Vector3 that only stores data in the y component
