fast in what way?

[rich adder]

CPU power?

RAM?

SSD?

[faint sluice]

Can it run 100 m race in 10 seconds?

[summer stump]

Can it leap tall buildings with a single bound?

[storm imp]

[rich adder]

jesus

[storm imp]

[rich adder]

dont expect stellar speeds with such a mediocre cpu

[storm imp]

1tb HDD

[rich adder]

not even SSD ?

[storm imp]

not where I'm saving my project

[rich adder]

smart

[swift crag]

that will slow things down a fair bit

[rich adder]

I have a ryzen 7 1700x and Im barely hanging on, there is no way your CPU can handle much better anyway

ryzen 3 is low level tier

[swift crag]

also, what do you mean by "busy"?

If you're talking about the popup after changing your scripts, Unity has to recompile all of your code when you edit it

[rich adder]

yeah now imagine that on a mechanical drive

[vague dirge]

Oh no correction I didn't express myself well, little lapsus, I meant between transform.position.y and transform2.position.x So it'd be the global Srt(x^2 + y^2) formula, and I'm searching a method. Or I guess I'd use Vector2.Distance(Vect3(0, transform.position.y, 0), Vect3(transform2.position.x, 0, 0)) ?

[rich adder]

then you wonder why it takes long lol

[storm imp]

also my gpu is a GTX 660

[faint sluice]

Speaking of which, is there a way to disable auto recompile?

[swift crag]

You can set unity to only refresh on command

[rich adder]

gpu means nothing for script compilations and CPU bound actions, they need brain power

[faint sluice]

Oh really? Where's that setting? I must have missed it

[swift crag]

Auto Refresh in the Asset Pipeline section of your preferences

(not project settings)

[faint sluice]

Ohhhhh, I see I'm not the only one who hates auto refresh

[rich adder]

Interesting...

[storm imp]

I know it says they're going to different numbers

[faint sluice]

If still auto reloads on play and build right?

[swift crag]

No. It reloads when you tell it to.

[rich adder]

the numbers are correct

[swift crag]

ctrl-R

[noble summit]

how do i remove this line in the middle

[faint sluice]

Oof

[swift crag]

Oh, that's the suggested maximum line length

It's going to be 80 or 120 characters or something

[rich adder]

show me where you call ReturnToMenu

[swift crag]

I don't know exactly where to toggle that

[fringe plover]

why when i Instantiate prefab collider and my script components are off?

[rich adder]

You tried rsetting layout like I suggested before?

[fringe plover]

  private void OnCollisionEnter2D(Collision2D collision)
    {
        if (collision.gameObject.TryGetComponent(out Mergeable idfk))
        {
            if (idfk.level == level)
            {
                rollMeRand();
                if (idfk.rand > rand)
                {
                    if (nextBall != null)
                    {
                        GameObject B = Instantiate(nextBall);
                        B.transform.position = transform.position;
                    }
                    Destroy(gameObject);
                }
                else if (idfk.level == level) Destroy(gameObject);
                else Destroy(gameObject);
            }
        }
    }
    public void rollMeRand()
    {
        rand = Random.Range(1, 1000);
    }```

[noble summit]

many times

[rich adder]

interesting... I never seen that line beofore, trying to find out what it is

[wintry quarry]

wdym by "my script components are off"?

[swift crag]

#💻┃code-beginner message

[fringe plover]

ther are disabled

[storm imp]

English

[swift crag]

I'm not sure how to disable it in the mac visual studio though

[wintry quarry]

Are they disabled in the prefab?

[fringe plover]

no

[wintry quarry]

You sure? Show some screenshots

[rich adder]

Ahh yes I have it too

[swift crag]

A component will disable itself if it throws an exception in Awake or Start

(i think both?)

[wintry quarry]

I think Awake and OnEnable but yes, that.

Show which components are disabling?

[wintry quarry]

ok and now.. on the instantiated prefab?

[fringe plover]

yes

[wintry quarry]

I mean show a screenshot

[rich adder]

ReturnToMenu()

[noble summit]

so how do i remove it

[rich adder]

I always kinda ignored it lmao I never figured out how to get rid of it..

[wintry quarry]

Can you not crop the screenshots? Just show the full unity window

because it's unclear which object is selected here

[fringe plover]

lemme record

[noble summit]

this thing is actually driving me insane like i can not do this

[storm imp]

I posted it on r/unity and somebody commented this

At a first glance, in your LoadSite method, it looks like you're setting the selected site to active, but you're never disabling the others. So if the first one that loads is in front of the others, it seems like you'll never be able to see them since the first one will be covering them up.

And then like another commenter pointed out, in the menu method, you've got the for loop to disable all three sites, but you're passing in 1 as the index instead of 'i', which will always just disable only the one site.

[rich adder]

r/Unity is useless

[storm imp]

oh is it?

[wintry quarry]

Why are there bears in the scene at the start?

[rich adder]

yes because you should still be able to see 1 of these Enabled

[noble summit]

in vscode 5 seconds after opening all the code turns the same color and gives me an error "Project system initialization finished. 0 project(s) are loaded, and 1 failed to load."

[rich adder]

I think your problem might actually be ReturnToMenu() unless you can show me its fine,

[fringe plover]

im trying to make merging game, one of them dont have prefab in nextBall

[wintry quarry]

The prefabs should not be in the scene at the start

those aren't prefabs

prefabs are the things in your project folder

You should have a separate script that instantiates things

[fringe plover]

oh ok...

[rich adder]

Click this

and screenshot what it shows

[storm imp]

I am

[sour yew]

hey guys. why these brushes dont work? i click on them, but my mouse cursor doesnt change. any help?

[rich adder]

so its working

[wintry quarry]

#⛰️┃terrain-3d - not a code question

[storm imp]

for the fist photo but when I click the second button it highlights site snow2 but goes to the first photo

[rich adder]

wdym "goes to the first photo"

screenshot sitesnow 2 active in scene

[storm imp]

There should be 3 separate photos one for each button but it keeps going to the first photo not photo 2 when I click button two and not photo 3 when I click button 3

[rich adder]

I get what ur trying to do but we saw the Debug.Log is printing correct index, so you have to show what happens when you click button #2 and which object goes Active

[rich adder]

So the code is working

you just put the same picture for Site Snow 2

this whole time

[faint sluice]

Got trolled hard

[languid spire]

yep, same material

[rich adder]

ok all three objects are being toggled correctly you just got the same material/texture

[storm imp]

they are not supposed to be the same photo

[rich adder]

are you forreal?

[summer stump]

Then don't use the same photo
Computers only do what YOU tell them to do

[storm imp]

they show the exact same photo

[summer stump]

And you told it to use the same photo

[rich adder]

because you put the samee tetxure.

[summer stump]

Yes, that is what you did

[languid spire]

yes, because you told them to

[storm imp]

ok then where did I go wrong?

[summer stump]

Forreal? You used the same photo!

[storm imp]

now we're getting somewere

[languid spire]

turning your computer on

is where you went wrong

[rich adder]

you cannot use the same material with same texture across 3 objects and expect to be "different photos"

that makes no sense

mehh at least the code was working

[dusty silo]

I am using the following line to create a Vertex.
Vertex v = Instantiate(Resources.Load("Prefabs\\VertexPrefab"), pos, Quaternion.identity) as Vertex;
This compiles fine, but throws a runtime error. For some reason, v is null.
Any idea why? If so, you you explain what the line is doing so I can understand?
Thanks.

[rich adder]

who told you to make the path \\

[buoyant knot]

isn’t that backwards

[rich adder]

ye should just be /

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Resources.Load.html

and is Prefabs inside a Resources folder?

[dusty silo]

That's the only way it escapes the escape character. It worked when I was casting it as a GameObject.

That path seems to work fine

[dusty silo]

Yes

[summer stump]

Why would you want to escape it? It is necessary

The path is wrong. Nav just linked the docs

[rich adder]

its fine , it isnt relevant now, we already found the cause. The code was never a problem

[storm imp]

ok how do I fix the material being wrong?

[summer stump]

Just. Put. Different "photos" for different spheres.
Instead of the same one.

[rich adder]

yes make 3 materials

one with each photo

[storm imp]

I would have to make 3 different spheres?

[summer stump]

You HAVE three different spheres

And yes, of course you do
Just like the tutorial did

[rich adder]

just apply the material to them if you have the spheres already

[fringe plover]

can someone help? I cant figure out how to spawn one, cuz when 2 objects collide the both try to spawn a new one

[summer stump]

What is "one"

[dusty silo]

The path was fine. I am still getting the runtime. Here is the entire method.

        Vertex v = Instantiate(Resources.Load("Prefabs/VertexPrefab"), pos, Quaternion.identity) as Vertex;
        //Vertex v = g as Vertex;
        Debug.Log($"Vertex is null: {v == null}");
        v.setCamera(c);
        return v;
    }```

[fringe plover]

another prefab, i need only one to spawn

[summer stump]

The path was not fine. But now there is a different issue

[summer stump]

Ok, show the !code

[swift crag]

You're using the non-generic version of Resources.Load

I presume you're getting a reference to the game object

You can't cast that to a Vertex.

If you want a Vertex reference, then ask for one

Resources.Load<Vertex>(...)

[dusty silo]

Will that still instantiate the object?

[storm imp]

are they not different photos

[swift crag]

Yes.

If you Instantiate a component, the entire game object is copied

You receive a reference to whatever it is you instantiated.

GameObject can't possibly cast to Vertex

[rich adder]

yes but you applied the same material to all 3

[polar acorn]

Jesus fucking christ

[swift crag]

A game object with a Vertex component on it isn't a Vertex

It's just a game object that has a Vertex on it

[glad swallow]

My character Controller is coliding with triggers, how do I stop this from happening?

[dusty silo]

Thanks. I didn't know Load could be given a class.

[swift crag]

It isn't. Those must not be trigger colliders.

[fringe plover]

raycast?

[glad swallow]

raycast.

[swift crag]

it's similar to how there's a non-generic version of GetComponent (you pass it a Type instead)

[glad swallow]

currently using this to see if the character is groudned

[swift crag]

Both non-generic methods just return a UnityEngine.Object

[storm imp]

OK how come when I select a different image for the material for a site it adds it to all three sites?

[swift crag]

The generic methods let you get a specific type right off the bat

[swift crag]

yes, because you applied the same material to all three renderers

so of course all three renderers look the same

don't do that

[summer stump]

Those are the different materials. Now look at the different snow sites and see which material is applied to each

[fringe plover]

make new layer and make script ignore it

[rich adder]

If you have the same FBX changing one will change all of them

you have to Unpack the FBX

apply new material, then do the next

[swift crag]

or just drag the material in to each instance

[glad swallow]

thanks

[swift crag]

that'll work just fine

[swift crag]

okay, so this isn't a CharacterController

[storm imp]

FBX?

[fringe plover]

int layerToIgnore = LayerMask.GetMask("NotGround", "Player", "Ignore Raycast"); int layerMask = ~layerToIgnore;

[summer stump]

Have the ball REQUEST a new ball from somewhere, not create the new one itself
Then you can control how many are created

[swift crag]

I would suggest two things:

• Specify which layers to hit, as shown above
• Use QueryTriggerInteraction.Ignore to ignore all triggers

[polar acorn]

Your issue is assuming that this problem must be more complicated than it is because you don't think anyone would make such an obvious mistake and not check after three straight days of debugging. But I think you're giving them too much credit

[fringe plover]

ok thx

[rich adder]

nailed it 😆

[swift crag]

These three objects are instances of the same prefab.

If you assign a material to the prefab in the inspector, all three will get the same material.

Do not do that. Assign a material to each object in the scene, individually.

[buoyant knot]

or assign the material to the prefab, so everything tied to the prefab will get that material

[swift crag]

that's the exact problem

the three objects are supposed to have three different materials on them

they don't. they have the same material

[buoyant knot]

oh

that’s weird

[storm imp]

prefab?

[buoyant knot]

you see how the name of the gameobject is blue

[swift crag]

please just do what I asked you to do

it sounds like you have basically no idea what any of these words mean. you desperately need to learn how Unity works before you try to make something in it

[storm imp]

what do you mean object sites or buttons?

[summer stump]

Every time you hear a new word. You repeat it with a question mark. Please TRY to learn for yourself every once in a while. Google "unity prefab" see what it means

[raven hill]

Hello, I don't know why this script doesn't work. I know it gets the target position right, but doesn't add the force.

[summer stump]

Also, PLEASE stop your project and go through the "unity essentials" pathway here
!learn

[eternal falcon]

:teacher: Unity Learn ↗

Over 750 hours of free live and on-demand learning content for all levels of experience!

[buoyant knot]

it’s tied to a stock gameobject file, called a prefab

so if you make edits to the prefab, it will connect the changes

[summer stump]

AddForce doesn't take a position
It takes a directional vector

[buoyant knot]

if you do not want this to be the case, you should unlink the gameobject in the scene from the prefab

you will know an object is linked when name is blue, and not linked when name is white

[summer stump]

Yes, see how that says m_newForce?
Oh, it's gone

[raven hill]

yea

[summer stump]

target - transform.position gives you a direction

https://docs.unity3d.com/2018.3/Documentation/Manual/DirectionDistanceFromOneObjectToAnother.html

[polar acorn]

Stop. Stop everything. You need to learn literally anything about the program you are using. !learn

[eternal falcon]

:teacher: Unity Learn ↗

Over 750 hours of free live and on-demand learning content for all levels of experience!

[summer stump]

Then you can normalize that and multiply it by a force if you want

[raven hill]

Do not attempt to work on this project any further until you at least know what the program you are using even does

[timid saffron]

Im trying to make ship rotate 180 degrees in y axis if its z position is less than 200 and start going +z in position instead of going - as in (0, 0, -1)

problem: its position in z wont change at all

what Ive tried: put if statement in different places in update

changed private bool shiprotate to true and false

[cosmic quail]

did u try putting a - in front of rotationSpeed? then it should go -z instead of +z right?

[storm imp]

I don't know what I did but it works now

[unreal imp]

No,its the muzzle from the gun where it shoots the bullet

[timid saffron]

rotationspeed is nothing to do with its position

it only rotates the ship in z axis continously

[cosmic quail]

put a - in front of Vector3.forward actually

did u try that

[timid saffron]

"transform.position = transform.position + new Vector3(0, 0, -1 * seperationSpeed * Time.deltaTime);
transform.Rotate(Vector3.forward, rotationSpeed * Time.deltaTime, Space.Self);"

these lines work as intended

problem is in if statement

but let me try

[cosmic quail]

in if statement you got a 1 * separationSpeed, try doing -1 * separationSpeed

[summer stump]

#💻┃code-beginner message

[cosmic quail]

wait thats position not rotation

[summer stump]

And we know what you did, you added the right materials to the different spheres

[rich adder]

Yeah you dont know, its not the fact we've been telling you what to fix XD

[timid saffron]

ship is supposed to rotate and come back if its z value is lower than 200 at the oppsoite z position

In if statement (0,0 "-1") I already set Z to negative value

and in regular update it is positive 1

[cosmic quail]

shouldnt u rotate it by -Vector3.forward then in the if statement? if the other one has Vector3.forward. then it rotates in the opposite direction

[timid saffron]

you mean like this?

[cosmic quail]

wait also currently if it completes the if statement it also does the other one. is that intended? should it be if else

[timid saffron]

I will try to break it down:
" transform.position = transform.position + new Vector3(0, 0, -1 * seperationSpeed * Time.deltaTime);":
here. the ship goes in negative Z direction continously
" transform.Rotate(Vector3.forward, rotationSpeed * Time.deltaTime, Space.Self)" this is not related to position so im skipping it.

    if (transform.position.z < 200 && !shipRotate180)
    {
        transform.Rotate(Vector3.up, 180f, Space.Self);
        shipRotate180 = true;
        transform.position = transform.position + new Vector3(0, 0, 1 * -seperationSpeed * Time.deltaTime);
    }

here. if ships Z value is less than 200 its supposed to rotate 180 degrees then move in the +Z direction now instead of the regular -Z

[timid saffron]

this is actually my first time using if statements in C hashtag

[wintry quarry]

It's called "C Sharp"

[rich adder]

C hashtag

tell me you're zoomie without telling me ur zoomie

[unreal imp]

Ahhh you re talking about instead of 0.5,0.5 I replace it by the bulletspawn pos xd

[timid saffron]

John do you want me to record a video and tell what Im trying to achieve?

[south sky]

Yo Im confused, if you return a method, would the returned method run?

[signal bronze]

Whats wrong in this code? Like, the Menu is still visible when I run the scene.

And nothing happens when i press ESC

[raven hill]

nvm I'm slow

[timid saffron]

Ive also tried this

[modest dust]

because you never specified what happens when Pausa == true

[summer stump]

Ah, it's the rigidbody. You need to either drag in the rigidbody component via the inspector (which you cannot, because it is private)
Or call GetComponent<Rigidbidy>() in awake

https://unity.huh.how/references

[raven hill]

I have it

unless its set up wrong

[south sky]

Yo Im confused, if you return a method, would the returned method run?

[languid spire]

no

[south sky]

Shit

Thanks tho

[summer stump]

You have it, but it is not referenced. Simply having it does nothing.

Also, you need the type to be Rigidbody2D, not just Rigidbody

[rich adder]

what are u trying to do

[south sky]

I have a method for a script and it says there is an error that not all paths return a value (I used an if statement with no else) so i said else return GetMethod(); incase there is an error

[summer stump]

To clarify, it doesn't know WHICH rigidbody you want to add force to. There are times you want to add force to rigidbodys on different objects.
The compiler will rarely ASSUME anything, so it will NOT assume the rigidbody you're talking about is the one in that screenshot. You need to explicitly tell it that

[rich adder]

why whats the original return type/

[south sky]

a gameobject

[rich adder]

so just return null

[south sky]

cool

[modest dust]

You're not "returning a method", you're returning the return value that comes with calling this method

[south sky]

I have no idea what that means lol😭

how can you return the return value

What would be the return value?

[rich adder]

also this would be like 2 lines with an Array..

[south sky]

None of my code is efficient

[rich adder]

I can tell lol

should learn about arrays

they are vital in coding

[south sky]

Cool, where do you recommend to learn

You got a yt channel with everything lol

[rich adder]

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/language-reference/builtin-types/arrays

[rich adder]

I dont cover basic coding 🙂

I expect my watchers to have somewhat understanding of c#

[south sky]

Aww you should teach a beginner sometime, I heard teaching is a form of learning in itself

Just like einstein said, if you cant explain it simply, you failed to understand

[rich adder]

Its fun, I probably would do something later down the line

[summer stump]

Think of a method call as simply moving to a different spot. It is no different than having the body of the method right where you call it.

public void Start() {
  bool something = MyMethod()
}

public bool MyMethod() {
  return true;
}

Is the same as

public void Start() {
  bool something = true;
}

The return just tells it to put the value where the method call is

[rich adder]

I dont have the "teacher" personality

[south sky]

Let me know, Ill be your first supporter

[rich adder]

thanks!

[modest dust]

You should follow a C# course then first before trying to learn Unity, basics are important, read about functions and recursion (arrays as well, everything basically)

[south sky]

Hah i get you especially when they fail to understand the first time, youll get used to it though

[south sky]

OHHHHHH I get it

Thanks for explaining

But would that also work for game objects?

[south sky]

Bro I need to learn unity now because I have an assignment to make a game in unity and its due end of this month soooo....

[broken arrow]

Oof

[modest dust]

Fair enough

[rich adder]

a month is a decent amount of time to learn some basics lol

[south sky]

I got other classes as well untop of this

[summer stump]

It works for any type you can imagine

[south sky]

Wait so i can store a gameobject in a variable??

Omds

I realised i could have done this so much easier

[summer stump]

You can store any type in a variable.
A gameObject is just a class

I will say that I almost never find myself wanting to store a gameobject, and I prefer storing COMPONENTS like scripts of rigidbodies and stuff
Because all of that can access their attached gameobject with the .gameObject property

[modest dust]

Yeah, learning some C# basics would be probably a good idea if you just came to this realisation..

[rare basin]

int armyNumber = (int)units[i].UnitArmy;
turnOrderUIData[i].unitArmyText.text = $"{armyNumber}";
Debug.Log(armyNumber);

public enum UnitArmy
{   
    ArmyOne = 1,
    ArmyTwo = 2
}

How come, the debug log prints 0 and 1 only, instead of 1 and 2?

[south sky]

Where can i watch a VIDEO, i suck at reading

[modest dust]

I know, reading is scary, but most of the good learning materials are in text form 👻
As for anything else, just google it I guess, there are tons of videos covering various topics

so first 2 ifs and 1 else work

when ships z position is less than 200 it rotates 180 degreees and starts going in positive z direction

and whats supposed to happen after that is if ships z direction is greater than 800

it rotates again and its z position goes down

thats all

[timid saffron]

like what happens in the beginning

[south sky]

Do I need to add my script to a gameobject for it to work?

[signal bronze]

ok ok thanks

[rich adder]

debug your values to make sure they are what you think they are

[ivory bobcat]

What's the error say?

[rich adder]

is the function static? otherwise you cannot call it directly from Class like that

[rich adder]

Classes are just blueprints to an object

[south sky]

It is public

No static

[rich adder]

nah not good enough

you need an instance then

to call it from

[ivory bobcat]

You've got to reference an instance and call the method of an instance - not the type.

[rich adder]

public GenerateOne generateScript
generateScript.PickAOne()

[timid saffron]

okay. so is everything okay with if and elses?

[south sky]

Ohhh i see

[rich adder]

thats why I suggested you debug your values , like transform.position.z

!shipRotate180

[south sky]

You seem like a pretty good teacher already, why not start the yt tutorials?

[modest dust]

Depends if you mean "apply that into a game engine" as literally using math when programming a game engine itself or using a game engine to make a game.
Generally - university and research. But if it's the latter then it shouldn't be necessary for most of the simple stuff. If you're good at basic math, vectors, etc, then you shouldn't have too many problems

[rich adder]

Oh thanks thats kind
I try but I have 2 fulltime jobs , I haven't had the time to dedicate to it :\

[south sky]

TWO!!! How are both fulltime??

[rich adder]

one is 10 hour shift for 4 days and 2 days are busy weekend job (bar)

[south sky]

You are one busy fella

Hope it goes well

Also what does static truly mean?

[rich adder]

thanks! hopefully will make this my job at some point and not deal with drunktards xD

[signal bronze]

Can anyone help with this? It should be working, in a different game it works and in a tutorial too

[south sky]

Loll have you seen a bar fight yet?

[rich adder]

plenty

[rich adder]

static means it accessible everywhere, and only 1 exists of this item

[south sky]

Got it

[signal bronze]

And if someone asking, the buttons are not done yet

[rich adder]

this is setting it to Active = true

is that intended

[signal bronze]

No

Like, its a normal Pause Menu, but the for the guy in the tutorial it works perfectly

[rich adder]

ohh, well the menu is being turned to active if ESC runs

[rich adder]

can u show the tutorial?

[signal bronze]

its completely in spanish

or u askin for ss?

May be blind or sum but i think its the same

[rich adder]

but is the menu starting with it OFF?

[ivory bobcat]

Escape causes the editor to unfocus, try a different key. Other than that, to verify if the key is at fault, place a log inside and see if anything prints.

[rich adder]

cause this only toggles it on

cause your original question "Menu still visible after pressing ESC"

there is nothing in this code that hides it..

this only makes it appear and pauses the game

[signal bronze]

ik ik but like its the first step and it doesnt work so thats why im trying it first

[noble summit]

why is my code the same color and not autofilling like normal

[signal bronze]

I used "H" and nthing happens, but first problem is that the Menu is Visible when the scene runs, and its not suposed to

[signal bronze]

Reconfigure the IDE maybe

[rich adder]

because you start the scene with Menu already enabled lol

[noble summit]

how

[summer stump]

It's just the !ide guides, which I think nav was helping you through earlier?

how to change that? Putting ObjetoMenuPausa.SetActive(false) in void start?

[rich adder]

just turn the gameobject off in the hierarchy before you hit play

[signal bronze]

ok

now its done

but when I press H nothing happens

why?

the code is correct isnt it?

[rich adder]

make sure its running, but debug.logs

[signal bronze]

ok

nothing shows up

[rich adder]

then its not running

[rich adder]

where did you put logs , show

[south sky]

how do I search an array if it has 0s or not

But with gameobjects

[rich adder]

if has 0s?

[ivory bobcat]

You'd iterate it and check every element

[undone rampart]

array.Lenght == 0

[signal bronze]

cant right now, tomorrow, i have a party and i need to buy the vodka and shit

thanks for help but ill go, have a great day everyone

[rich adder]

[south sky]

So i originally made an algorithm that will make a solution path and it will fill the whole array with 0s then go through the array and make a snake like path out of 10s 11s and 12s however i converted this to gameobjects for my game in unity and i dont know what to do about the nodes with game objects that have been instantiated

[signal bronze]

[native seal]

Im having issues with the order of Awake, Start and OnEnable when enabling UI elements any tips?

[south sky]

Wait how do i code "instantiate [GameObject] at every node of the array except for nodes that have previously been instantiated at

[rich adder]

loop

also you need a way to check / define that part in the node

[south sky]

Yh

I probably need a 3d array

[rich adder]

dictionary ?

[south sky]

Dictionary?

[raven hill]

Does anyone understand why the projectile is not destroyed after colliding with the player? After I play it, the projectile collider and the player collider touch

[rich adder]

with Vector3s?

[rich adder]

probably because you're not using the 2D version of the method

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/MonoBehaviour.OnCollisionEnter2D.html

[raven hill]

Thx

[noble summit]

it literally doesnt work

i tried practically everything

[swift crag]

show us the guide you followed.

[noble summit]

vscode thing

[swift crag]

link me to it. i want to be certain what you looked at.

[noble summit]

"VS Code"

and it has worked before

[swift crag]

show me a screenshot of your package manager with the Visual Studio Editor package selected, as well as a screenshot of the External Tools menu

[noble summit]

okay i guess

[south sky]

Yo how do I destroy an already instantiated gameobject?

[nimble hinge]

Hi.

[nimble hinge]

You can use Destroy( pass the object reference here ); on the object you wish to destroy

[swift crag]

Remove the Visual Studio Code Editor package.

It is deprecated and no longer needed.

[noble summit]

how...

[swift crag]

You'll need to remove the Engineering feature, then re-install the Visual Studio Editor package.

[noble summit]

how

[swift crag]

Features are found at the top of the Unity Registry section

my UI is different, but it's in the same place

[south sky]

The problem is is that the gameobject is in a separate script and was chosen with Random.Range() so if traced back, it will delete a different object

[swift crag]

Features mostly exist to install packages you don't want or need, as far as I can tell

[nimble hinge]

Fen are you actually making a game or just have blank project opened just to help people lol

[swift crag]

I am working on a game right now, yes

annoying UI auto-navigation problems

[nimble hinge]

You can use GameObject.Find

[south sky]

Oh cool

[nimble hinge]

if you're using it to destroy

[south sky]

How does that work

[nimble hinge]

not recomended in update

Basically

[south sky]

No this is start strictly

[noble summit]

im not seeing it

[swift crag]

then store the GameObject reference

i don't understand what the problem is

[nimble hinge]

GameObject.Find(pass the name of the object you wish to find)

[swift crag]

clear the search box, if you still have something in it.

[nimble hinge]

Also note: if it's a child

you have to search for parent first

[noble summit]

oh lol

[swift crag]

you already have a reference so I don't understand why you can't just destroy it

[nimble hinge]

and then type its name like this Parent/Child

[nimble hinge]

He wants to destroy from another script

[south sky]

I wouldnt know as the object that was placed is random, and this is a check so i cant just go into unity to see what was placed

[swift crag]

store a reference to the object you instantiated.

[nimble hinge]

Can you provide the script

[swift crag]

if another script needs to destroy the object, then pass that reference from one to the other.

[nimble hinge]

Could not understand randomness you're talking about

[noble summit]

done

[swift crag]

now go back to External Tools and make sure it's still set to Visual Studio Code

close VSCode, hit Regenerate Project Files, and double-click a script asset to open VSCode again

[summer stump]

That "feature" strikes again...

[south sky]

I apologise for my bad code

Im new

[noble summit]

"Project system initialization finished. 0 project(s) are loaded, and 1 failed to load."

[scarlet skiff]

i instantiate the prefab this way, then destroy the instance specifically yet still get this error

No

Be mindful, if someone requests your code as text, don't send a screenshot!

[nimble hinge]

Is the script GenerateTwo a prefab or not

[south sky]

Nope

[rich adder]

not code related

[nimble hinge]

You can also use shortcut Destroy(gameObject);

[scarlet skiff]

i tried sending them all at once but for some reason it only sent one screenshot

[nimble hinge]

But first

[magic pagoda]

ohh there was a VS editor update...

[nimble hinge]

you need to check if it's null or not

the whole point is...Dont use screenshots for code..

[scarlet skiff]

thats what i thoguht but neither work

[swift crag]

"It will be the last object spawned"

So if you spawned C, then D, then E, you want to destroy E here?

[scarlet skiff]

well... im not sure how the rest of the code could help, but u prob right 1 sec

[nimble hinge]

put

if (gameObject != null)

[swift crag]

if there's nothing else than that looks ok

[noble summit]

thats it

so whats the problem then

[south sky]

But i dont know the order they spawn, i spawned C then B then D but i wouldnt know the order they spawn in

[scarlet skiff]

explosion script is all in this ss

but here is bomb script: https://paste.mod.gg/kfpjftizkmhf/3

[rich adder]

Again , we said the problem last time. YOu're trying to destroy the prefab instead of the instance

[nimble hinge]

you can do public GenerateTwo, and pass it in Hierarchy

[scarlet skiff]

yes and i follwoed but u told me to

[swift crag]

Create a List<GameObject>.

[scarlet skiff]

but it still didnt work

[swift crag]

When you spawn something, add the instance to the list.

[rich adder]

this website is trash

use the ones in !code

when you want to destroy something, get the last item from the list if it is not empty

[scarlet skiff]

im instantiating it and then putting it in a variable then destroying the variable

[nimble hinge]

Or if you want you can use square brackets

[swift crag]

also look at "C# Dev Kit" and ".NET Runtime"

[south sky]

How would that work?

[scarlet skiff]

https://gdl.space/zereqotihu.cs bomb (diff website)

[swift crag]

well, you would create a List<GameObject>...

[nimble hinge]

Can you send a script

[swift crag]

private List<GameObject> spawnedObjects = new();

when you spawn something, you'd add it to the list

show the full stack of the error

.net runtime has nothing

[nimble hinge]

And yes fen is correct

[rich adder]

ok so send explosion script not this one u sent

[scarlet skiff]

its just this: https://gdl.space/wegarukire.cs

and the method is called when the explosions animatyion ends as an animation event

[south sky]

How would that work?

[rich adder]

what is internal GameObject thisExplosion;

how is it assigned

[nimble hinge]

Hey just a question, where do you call this DestroySelf Function

[swift crag]

Do you have an extension installed named "Github"? I only see one hit when I search for that message.

[summer stump]

They just told you

[scarlet skiff]

via bomb script when the bomb instantiates an explosion

[south sky]

I was just joking lol

[scarlet skiff]

animation event, at the end of the animation for explosion

[swift crag]

https://learn.unity.com/tutorial/lists-and-dictionaries

[noble summit]

i dont

[swift crag]

I know that the Dev Kit can prompt you to sign in to access paid features...I think it was Dev Kit, at least

[rich adder]

Dont instantiate stuff OnDestroy

[swift crag]

can you just share all of the relevant scripts so that we aren't playing 20 questions with you

[rich adder]

the instance is prob destroyed by the time you use it

[noble summit]

okay but how does that help

[scarlet skiff]

hmmm so maybe i nthe onCollision method?

[swift crag]

i'm trying to think through what's causing the error here

[rich adder]

basically before you call Destroy

[scarlet skiff]

i see, id have to then copy and paste the same code a couple times

or id just make a method for it i suppose

aight thanks

[swift crag]

okay, I recreated that error message by trying to sign in and then backing out

Do you see anything else in the Projects output?

here's mine

[noble summit]

sometimes when i open vscode it says i need to sign in again

[noble summit]

Project system initialization finished. 0 project(s) are loaded, and 1 failed to load.

[south sky]

But other than that, is there a way to destroy the last gameObject instantiated?

[swift crag]

sure, just store the last one you spawned in a variable

done

a list lets you remember many objects

which is relevant if you want to be able to destroy several objects

[south sky]

Ok I see

Ima try that

Thanks

[swift crag]

and remember to store the instance

not the original prefab.

[swift crag]

hm, one thing to try

[south sky]

Wait

[swift crag]

go to your project root and delete all of the .csproj files

[south sky]

the instance?

[swift crag]

then do Regenerate Project Files again

[swift crag]

the thing returned from Instantiate.

[noble summit]

project root?

[swift crag]

the project folder that contains Assets/Library/etc.

if you went any higher you'd leave your unity project

[nimble hinge]

Alright

[swift crag]

in general, the "root" is the top-most thing that everything else is a child of

[noble summit]

this?

[swift crag]

yes

you can also delete the .sln file

[noble summit]

so i just delete assembly-csharp

[swift crag]

I had a weird problem once where Unity was just..appending data to a bad .csproj file

i was getting duplicate assemblies

[nimble hinge]

Never understood why unity creates csproj files everytime you copy a project

[noble summit]

ok i deleted it

[swift crag]

the .csproj files contain a description of every file in the project

your code editor needs this information

[south sky]

Is ok if you can show me how that would work in code, please. But if you cant, how would you get the instantiated game object because if the gameobject is instantiated and there are other clones of that game object wouldnt destroy destroy all the others?

[swift crag]

GameObject foo = Instantiate(prefab);
GameObject bar = Instantiate(prefab);

Destroy(foo);
// bar still exists

Destroy destroys the thing you give it

not other random objects that are sort of like it

[nimble hinge]

Wait

[noble summit]

i restarted vscode, and now it says...

[swift crag]

ah, that's more what I was expecting

[south sky]

I see, thank you for helping me

You want a cookie?

[swift crag]

look at the .NET Runtime output again

[swift crag]

er, wrong reply

[nimble hinge]

your code

returns gameobject

Interesting to say the least

[swift crag]

it's fine

probably suboptimal

since you probably want something more specific than a game object

[south sky]

I dont know whats good or not, i started coding 4 days ago

[nimble hinge]

I thought it would return a gameobject type

[swift crag]

well yeah, that's what it does

[nimble hinge]

which meant last object

since it's called once

[swift crag]

I don't follow.

PickATwo() returns a GameObject. I presume that some other code then passes that to Instantiate to create a new game object.

[eternal needle]

It wouldnt even reach the else if random == 5 or the else statement

[nimble hinge]

Oh wait youre right

[swift crag]

yes, the range is wrong

it ought to be Random.Range(0, 6) to produce a number in the set 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5

[nimble hinge]

yeah maximum value is exclusive

which means it wont be included

I don't really know why unity does that but ig

[eternal needle]

This 100% should just be an array/list tho where you can just use the collections length as the max index

[swift crag]

indeed

[SerializeField] List<GameObject> choices;

it will make your codem uch simpler

[swift crag]

you often use integers to randomly pick something from a list

since sequences are zero-indexed, a 10-element list should be drawn with numbers in the range [0, 9]

[eternal needle]

It's not unity who does it, it's what is done. If you want to use a random element in a list, the list length is 1 higher than the index of the last element.

[swift crag]

What's weird is that Unity makes Random.value inclusive

it's [0, 1], not [0, 1)

fun edge case for my weighted random function to trip on someday

[nimble hinge]

I get it now, thanks

[south sky]

Do you want to see my awful code? Its not finished and a lot of lines are left out

[nimble hinge]

so it works like list

because if you set list count to 5, the elements only go up to 4

[noble summit]

so do you have any idea what is wrong

[swift crag]

did you look here?

It sounds like the .NET Install Tool extension is failing

[noble summit]

nothing in there

[swift crag]

is this extension installed?

it should be if you installed the Unity extension.

[noble summit]

yes

Failed to find dotnet info from path, falling back to acquire runtime via ms-dotnettools.vscode-dotnet-runtime

What follows that line in the C# output?

[noble summit]

/bin/sh: dotnet: command not found

[swift crag]

gimme the entire C# output log in a pastebin

[noble summit]

why pastebin

[swift crag]

okay, all of that seems okay, although the errors from sh are a bit weird (I don't see those on my end)

also on a mac

I'd give the machine a restart for kicks

[noble summit]

tried that and nothing happened

earlier

[south sky]

Yo my final question, when you put the instantiated code in a variable, does it instantiate the code onto the scene when it does that?

[swift crag]

no code is being "instantiated"

[south sky]

I meant gameobject

[swift crag]

you're passing a GameObject to Instantiate. Unity copies the object (and all of its components) and returns a reference to the new instance of the game object.

And yes, the new object is placed into the active scene.

[proper bobcat]

Not sure why I am getting this message

MissingReferenceException: The object of type 'SphereCollider' has been destroyed but you are still trying to access it.

Your script should either check if it is null or you should not destroy the object.
_TowerDefense.Towers.Tower.SetSphereColliderActive (System.Boolean shouldEnable) (at Assets/_TowerDefense/Scripts/Towers/Tower.cs:25)

The towers are never destroyed in the game atm, neither are the sphere colliders that are attached

[south sky]

Ok fine thanks

[swift crag]

is there a sphere collider actually assigned in the _sphereCollider field?

ah, I think I can guess what it is

does OnGameStateChanged fire as the game is quitting?

[proper bobcat]

Yupp

[swift crag]

During shutdown, everything gets destroyed

and I believe this happens immediately, rather than..later, at the end of the frame

[proper bobcat]

But this is when I click play

[swift crag]

Do you have Domain Reload disabled?

[proper bobcat]

Yupp

[swift crag]

GameManager.GameStateChanged is static

[proper bobcat]

ah....

[swift crag]

Its contents are not reset between play sessions, because you've disabled Domain Reload

[proper bobcat]

Gotcha

[swift crag]

The fix is to unsubscribe as the Tower is destroyed

I've dealt with this a fair bit

[rich adder]

always cleanup your events anyway static or not

[swift crag]

You can safely unsubscribe from an event even if you've never subscribed to it

yeah, this would still cause errors even with Domain Reload

as soon as a tower got destroyed

do it in OnDestroy and you should be good

[proper bobcat]

Oh I have been using OnEnable and OnDisable

Is destroy better?

[north kiln]

You should 100% be resetting in [RuntimeInitializeOnLoadMethod(RuntimeInitializeLoadType.SubsystemRegistration)] if you're not already

[swift crag]

OnDisable also runs during destruction, so it would be acceptable

[swift crag]

yeah, this attribute is extremely useful for cleaning up during game start (and for getting things ready, even outside the editor)

[proper bobcat]

No idea what this does. Will look into it

[swift crag]

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

I use it to wake up my singleton GameController, which then fires up other parts of the game

[north kiln]

If you are not aware of it you should not have domain reloading disabled https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/DomainReloading.html

[proper bobcat]

I knew domain reload would catch up to me sometime

I like my game to load fast

But yes I understand it comes with implications

[north kiln]

Everyone I recommend it to I recommend to thoroughly read those docs

[proper bobcat]

Will do

my code is very different

[hoary light]

on vs studio it is saved

and when i open the program thrue unity it shows the same

but on the inspector its different

[slender nymph]

then you have either turned off the automatic asset refresh and need to manually refresh it. or you are looking at the wrong file

[hoary light]

and now my player dosent move

[hoary light]

how to refresh?

[slender nymph]

ctrl+R in the unity editor. also check Edit > Preferences > General to see if you have disabled that setting

[hoary light]

im preety sure im looking at the same code

[slender nymph]

this also does not prove that you are looking at the same file. just that they have the same name

[swift crag]

did you change the capitalization of the filename by any chance

like from player_movement.cs to Player_movement.cs

[hoary light]

same assets folder aswell and on unity its the same aswell

[hoary light]

same capitalisation aswell lol

[swift crag]

that doesn't answer my question

did you change the capitalization after creating the file?

[hoary light]

nope

[swift crag]

okay, so that's not relevant, then

[slender nymph]

and have you bothered trying to refresh yet? or are you assuming that arguing about the other possibility i suggested will fix it?

[swift crag]

I've seen unity get very confused by a case change on case-insensitive filesystems.

[hoary light]

i tryed the ctrl R thing

same exact outcome

[slender nymph]

and you pressed that in unity, right?

[hoary light]

Log its tag, and log with the context parameter

[rich adder]

Debug.Log what you hit ("Something Was Hit") isn't exactly helpful
Debug.Log($"We hit {hitInfo.collider.name} with tag {hitInfo.collider.tag}")

[north kiln]

Or use the debugger

[hoary light]

in unity it says that there is none... on vs on the other hand it says this

[slender nymph]

if there are no compile errors and you have saved the code and ensured that the assets have been refreshed and you still don't see the right code in the inspector when you select the script in the project folder then you are looking at the wrong file

[north kiln]

Or, errors have been hidden in the console

[hoary light]

same name in the same folder

[slender nymph]

ah yeah, i gotta stop assuming that people aren't just hiding their errors

[slender nymph]

screenshot your entire console window. also make sure you're actually looking at the right project in vs code

[hoary light]

this is my first time using unity so im kinda new to this

im running the project rn theres litterally NOTHING here

thats what weirds me out

[south sky]

How often should one use Debug.Log?

[slender nymph]

as often as you need to print something to the console

[rich adder]

As much as possible until you learn debugger

then use both

[south sky]

Cool

[hoary light]

full screen of both the file tab and console tab

[slender nymph]

yeah so at this point i'm going to assume you're looking at the wrong file and probably just have two files with the same name in your project

because it's either that or you have not actually saved and refreshed the assets

[hoary light]

did the ctrl R thing which u sayd so thats not it....when i open the code its the code i did actually write in vs

so thats aswell off the list

[slender nymph]

screenshot your entire vs code window

[slender nymph]

entire window

[slender nymph]

that file is not saved

[north kiln]

well, it's currently unsaved

[hoary light]

oh

im a moron lol

[slender nymph]

literally the first thing i said to do

[hoary light]

sorry im new to unity lel

[raven hill]

I googled it and still don't understand, I also compared it with a very similar code that works, how do I fix it?

[north kiln]

and why is the highlighting so bad, is it just partially unconfigured?

[hoary light]

now how do i save it lol?

[hoary light]

i dont mainly use vs studio but im using it currently bc its easyer for unity [as im told]

[slender nymph]

assign to that field inside of a method like Awake or Start rather than where you are declaring it

[hoary light]

huh

ok

[slender nymph]

visual studio is better and easier for unity than vs code (which is what you are using)

[hoary light]

ok anyways

how do i save this

im actually asking

[formal arch]

ty, solved the issue, was hitting another thing

[rich adder]

Visual Studio Studio ?

[slender nymph]

have you never saved a file in your entire life? also you know google is a thing too

[hoary light]

my bad lol

i did it

lol

EXCELLENT new errors -_-

[slender nymph]

get your !IDE configured then fix your spelling mistakes

[eternal falcon]

💡 IDE Configuration

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

Select one:

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

[hoary light]

ok ty alot for the help and sorry for making yalls lives kinda hard lol

[north kiln]

It literally tells you to edit your messages instead of posting like this

[raven hill]

Ok, I really tried but I just dont understand which field

[slender nymph]

before i provide any more details, is your IDE configured yet?

[raven hill]

I think so

[slender nymph]

if you are unsure then screenshot your entire IDE window and send it here

[slender nymph]

that is unity

[rich adder]

why do you have VS selected but showing VScode

[fringe cedar]

Could I get any help with Cinemachine Cameras? or does anyone have alternatives for a 3rd person camera!?

[slender nymph]

also if you have visual studio installed, you should really consider just using that instead of vs code

[slender nymph]

tyty

[raven hill]

Bro I'm literally sleepimg

[rich adder]

did you click Regen Project Files after selecting VSCode ?

chances are you scripts are still tied to VS

[raven hill]

I did

[slender nymph]

it should just use the same project files since the same package is generating them

[slender nymph]

did you install the c# extension? and if you only just installed it, have you restarted your computer since doing so?

[lone sierra]

i have a question about my code

[slender nymph]

https://dontasktoask.com

[lone sierra]

this is where u ask?

[slender nymph]

what does the channel description say?

[rich adder]

ahh ok thats true

Cause last time VSCode complained for me that's why I do it

[raven hill]

I think I had installed it with VScode

Not sure tho

[rich adder]

You need the Unity extensions

[raven hill]

My files are C#

[raven hill]

I have it too

[slender nymph]

wdym you are not sure? installing it is part of the configuration guide and surely you followed that, right?

[raven hill]

I have

[lone sierra]

im testing out a 2d bullet code game and when shooting my bullets always shoot right

is there a fix for making the bullet shoot in the direction of the player?

[rich adder]

open script through unity again and show the VScode Output window

[ivory bobcat]

You can post !code inline or using an external service(free as well). Other than that, you're trying to use a position as a direction for velocity.

isn't .up a direction ?

I'm too tired for this, I'll just fix it tomorrow

Thx tho

[rich adder]

takes 1 second to just open it, You had VS selected but now VSCode

maybe its already working..

[rich adder]

its working

[ivory bobcat]

Ah you're right. It's a transform component and not simply a point

[rich adder]

lol

[raven hill]

Thanks

[rich adder]

yeah! just strange its using world point somehow

unless OP had Global on

[raven hill]

I'm gonna go to sleep

[ivory bobcat]

The name implied it was a point

[south sky]

Would bar still exist and would the prefab/gameobject be instantiated into the scene in unity?

GameObject foo = Instantiate(prefab);
GameObject bar = foo;

Destroy(foo);

[swift crag]

Both foo and bar refer to the same C# object

They're two variables that both happen to refer to the same thing

[rich adder]

References you're just passing around the same object,
its not cloning or anything

[scarlet skiff]

you can use mathf.clamp() instead of if (shield>shieldCap)

not much more effective but ye

[river glade]

Hi everyone, I definitely made a bit of confusion in the calculations, I use the character controller, and my aim was to add gravity to the character and so far so good, my problem is when I click play on my character instead of standing with my feet on the ground, it goes up (but immediately stops) on the y axis
(I hope I've made myself clear, if so I'll make a clip)
this is code:
https://pastebin.com/FWvbz0M6

[ivory bobcat]

Instantiate creates one instance. You're referring to the instance using foo and bar.

[swift crag]

you're adding gravity to your movement vector after you reassign movement

that's not accomplishing anything

I'm guessing your character goes up because the character controller's "Center" property is wrong

make sure the capsule is resting on the ground, not stuck in the floor

e.g.

[river glade]

this is fine

[swift crag]

god those ragdoll colliders are so broken

[river glade]

the character's position is fine, it's not stuck in the floor

[river glade]

but as you said, I definitely got confused in assigning, when I walk the character from position y = 0
rises in position y = 0.07999706

[swift crag]

oh, that's just the skin width

the character controller has a little bit of extra margin around it

I'd suggest just offsetting the controller so that it's 0.08 meters above the ground

You can also reduce the skin width of the controller. I haven't really seen any catastrophic problems from doing that yet

but it nominally could make collision worse

[native seal]

anyone have an idea what this error could be? PlayerEquipment is not being destroyed

Your script should either check if it is null or you should not destroy the object.
UnityEngine.Component.TryGetComponent[T] (T& component) (at <30adf90198bc4c4b83910c6fb1877998>:0)
PlayerEquipment.UpdateWeapon (Weapon weapon) (at Assets/_Scripts/Player/PlayerEquipment.cs:22)```

[swift crag]

well, it is

unity doesn't show you random error messages for fun

perhaps one PlayerEquipment still exists, but another has been destroyed

[native seal]

its still on my player when the error is showing though

could it be because of

    {
        equippedItems = new Equipment[10];
        foreach (ItemStack equip in gearInventory.GetItemList())
        {
            EquipItem((Equipment)equip.item);
        }
    }```

[swift crag]

that doesn't matter if something else is trying to access a destroyed instance

[native seal]

where i reset the array

[swift crag]

share the entire script: !code

[swift crag]

okay, so UpdateWeapon is being called on a destroyed instance of PlayerEquipment

You get this exception when you attempt to call TryGetComponent on the PlayerEquipment

[meager raptor]

anyone help appreciate it

[swift crag]

and where do you set instance?

perhaps in the Start method of UnityHandler?

[meager raptor]

yeah I did

ill show you

[swift crag]

then it's probably happening after you try to use instance in another component's Start method

Assign it in Awake instead. That runs before any Start method will.

[meager raptor]

okay 👍

[native seal]

what do you think is causing playerequipment to be "destroyed" even though its still on my player

[swift crag]

Log the object before you try to call UpdateWeapon on it

do it like this:

Debug.Log("The equipment: " + myPlayerEquipment, myPlayerEquipment);

If myPlayerEquipment is valid, clicking the log entry will take you to it

You could also log this to find out who is trying to call UpdateWeapon on the PlayerEquipment

I'm guessing you have a stray component somewhere

[north kiln]

What's the full stack trace? Surely it doesn't start at UpdateWeapon

[native seal]

it happens when I level up

[north kiln]

Show the event you're subscribed to

[native seal]

its just an int event for xp

[north kiln]

okay, and how is it declared

[native seal]

the issue isnt the event

[north kiln]

Okay then, good luck with the issue that you apparently understand

[native seal]

the error starts happening when I level up which causes PlayerStats to reload all of the gear and update the weapon

the event just adds xp

and it works

[south sky]

Unity wont allow me to add scripts and i cannot put gameobjects with the scripts what is an alternative?

[north kiln]

Are you looking at a prefab?

[native seal]

this is the event

[south sky]

Yh

[north kiln]

https://unity.huh.how/references/prefabs-referencing-components

[north kiln]

Do you have domain reload disabled?

[native seal]

yes

and it also occurs in build

[north kiln]

You're likely not resetting or unsubscribing from your event

If it's occurring in a build then is it happening after a scene change?

[native seal]

i think youre right

yep fixed, thank you

[north kiln]

I am unsure how your event script works, but if it's got statics then it needs to be cleaned up in [RuntimeInitializeOnLoadMethod(RuntimeInitializeLoadType.SubsystemRegistration)]
As it's an asset, if it's not unsubscribed from it'll persist between scenes, which will cause the issue

[carmine sierra]

if an object already has velocity, will making the gravity scale be 0 stop it in it's place

[native seal]

the issue wasnt with my xp event it was a c# event i forgot i had

[weary finch]

How does the SphereCastNonAlloc work? Like it doesn't return the closest object to be found, how can I make it work as such?

[carmine sierra]

what's this error?

[timber tide]

it returns anything in the sphere

with a colliders

[weary finch]

I was expecting the results to be sorted by distance, but its not the case, and the documentation also says that

[meager raptor]

does anyone have an idea on why it wont let me drag the game objects to the slots?

[timber tide]

not always true, so you should foreach through it and sort it

[rich adder]

you're trying to access something in array but the index you passed is not found its either more than list size or negative

[rich adder]

which gameobjects, these cropped out photos are not helpful at all

[rich adder]

the script is not on a gameobject 😉

[meager raptor]

ah okay that makes sense thanks

is this a code error or unity error

it even spelt commander wrong

[summer stump]

unitType.Commander, not Commander by itself

[meager raptor]

u sure? it only appeared for commander not the other units

[summer stump]

Wait, your trying to set Unit to an enum?

[meager raptor]

ye

[slender nymph]

where is the string coming from because it certainly isn't related to that enum

[summer stump]

Yes, but there is a lot more wrong here than that

How is the compiler supposed to set Unit type to be an unitType enum?
