one of them makes a boolean named jump that is false. The other makes a boolean named jump that is true.

[shell bane]

The main camera is on the second screen, the first one, which is the menu, does not have a camera and is working normally, which I find strange

[polar acorn]

Is your main menu an overlay canvas? You wouldn't be able to see anything behind the overlay, but you do still need a camera to render the overlay on

Adding a camera to your menu scene means it can now properly draw the overlay, which is over everything

You want to either unload the Menu scene when you change scenes, or disable the canvas

[teal viper]

Pretty sure there is something. Did you check the documentation?

[shell bane]

I didn't understand

[frigid sequoia]

I did check for animation, which just leads you to the overall animation tab which is not very usefull and the animationClip, which doesn't show any usefull command, it just to store data it seems

[shell bane]

public void jogar()
{
SceneManager.LoadScene(nomeDoLevelDeJogo);
}

when i press "Jogar"

[teal viper]

Wdym "leads to the overall animation tab"..? What the heck were you looking at?

[polar acorn]

It looks like your menu is being drawn over the second scene. Assuming your screenshot earlier was showing that both scenes are loaded at the same time

[frigid sequoia]

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

[teal viper]

I was referring to the API docs, not the manual.

[frigid sequoia]

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

I did check that, I don't think any of those does what I want

[teal viper]

Of the Animation class...

You are the one who brought up the animation component, so do check it's documentation properly.

[frigid sequoia]

Oh, yeah, that's what I was doing wrong

I see it now, thx

I was using just animationClip for it for some reason

[dull arch]

Trying to bind jump to the space bar

Having a hard time

[shell sorrel]

well Move would does its things for 1 frame, and its not a good tool for this

unless thats your own move method, in which it depends in its implmentation

also syntax error in your code, you are missing a character and your editor is trying to point it out to you there in red

[teal viper]

Hard time closing the if condition with a bracket?

[fleet granite]

are animation parameters exclusive to the gameobject with the animations or can i use the same one on a different gameobject

[teal viper]

Wdym? The parameter names are the same for every animator that uses the same animator controller. The values are obviously separate.

[dull arch]

what? im sorry im a newbie

[fleet granite]

oh right thanks

[teal viper]

Was referring to the error in your code.

[dull arch]

yeah

[teal viper]

Each open bracket ( needs a closing one )

Makes sense?

[dull arch]

yeah

[latent bone]

Am i allowed to send my code here to get help?

[teal viper]

Yes, if you share it properly.

can i just send a screenshot?

[teal viper]

Unless there is a specific reason it has to be a screenshot, no.

[latent bone]

okay

[shell sorrel]

a screenshot makes it harder for people to help, since they cant search it or copy and paste

[dull arch]

this made my object jump

thanks for the tips also

[latent bone]

https://paste.ofcode.org/6YFrtcSWm8t4LPJKiPAFZA For some reason, no matter what country i put in the debug log, it's always printing "SouthAmerica" and "Europe"

Basically, in my scene i just have 6 tiles and im trying to store which tiles are adjacent to each other and they all have appropriate tags (e.g the top left tile is north america etc)

[queen adder]

Okay, but shaders do not have inheritance or anything. Like there’s no base shader i could modify to make this work. Wouldnt i have to also edit the Tmp shaders to achieve this aswell?

[teal viper]

Yes and yes.

[dull arch]

@teal viper you can just and not say why your

[shell sorrel]

most would copy and paste and modify, or use includes in the shader to grab already defined functions from elsewhere for things

[teal viper]

We just had a conversation about not sharing code as screenshots and you ignored it completely.

[dull arch]

oh im sorry I didnt sorry my b

I should I share code

[latent bone]

can someone take a lil look at my code potentially pls 🥹 👉 👈

You posted it 4 minutes ago ...

[dull arch]

oh crap

yus that one : )

[dull arch]

my bad guys

[summer stump]

I know. I'm saying be patient

[dull arch]

will do in the future tho

[latent bone]

oh mb sorry

[summer stump]

Show the inspectors for a few of the objects with Territory on them

[queen adder]

Maybe a good first step would be doing it with 2 simple ui images overlapping using the default ui shader

But I’ve looked at tmp shaders before and there’s no way I’d ever figure this out for those

Without breaking something

So it’s hard to be motivated

[latent bone]

@summer stump

i dont wanna clog up the chat with screenshots so theres 2

and the rest just have tags like "Europe" or "Asia" etc

[summer stump]

If these are prefabs, why use FindWithTag?

It looks like the tags are set right though

[latent bone]

idk i literally downladed unity yesterday and im tryina get the hang of it

if theres a better way of doing what im trying to do then i could do that?

[teal viper]

Well, you want that feature, so it's all up to you. On the other hand, no one forces you. If you want to give up on it, it's your choice.🤷‍♂️

[latent bone]

i still dont get why my code doesnt work tho

[summer stump]

Ah ok.
!learn is a good course (a bot will pop up)

But I recommend just dragging the prefabs into the inspector

guys i was following with brackeys tutorial on unity 2d games and i faced an issue with the collider being rapidly enabled and disalbed on its own ,i told someone on the #💻┃unity-talk and he said to share my code here so hopefully someone can help me,
here is the movement script i made:

using UnityEditor;
using UnityEngine;

public class movement : MonoBehaviour
{
    public CharacterController2D ctrl;
    [Range (0f,100f)]
    public float speed = 40f;

    float horizontal = 0f;

    bool jump=false;
    bool crouch = false;
    void Update()
    {
        horizontal = Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal")*speed;
        if(Input.GetButtonDown("Jump")){
            jump = true;
        }
        
        if(Input.GetButtonDown("Crouch")){
            crouch=true;Debug.Log("c");
        }
        else if(Input.GetButtonUp("Crouch")){
            crouch=false;Debug.Log("!c");
        }
        
    }
    void FixedUpdate(){
        ctrl.Move(horizontal*Time.fixedDeltaTime,false,jump);

pretty self explanatory

[cinder basin]

sorry im new here

[summer stump]

Debug.Log(GameObject.FindWithTag("Europe").GetComponent<Territory>().adjacentCountries[0].gameObject.tag);
        Debug.Log(GameObject.FindWithTag("Europe").GetComponent<Territory>().adjacentCountries[1].gameObject.tag);

This is what prints

So, just the two adjacent to Europe

[latent bone]

yes

yes thats what i want it to print. but it doesnt print that

it prints the two that are adjacent to South america

[cinder basin]

can please someone help me , chatgpt and google bard can solve it for some reason

[latent bone]

And Idk why, but the first thing that i tested it with was south america, so that might be why?

[dull arch]

Trying to figure out how to give my jump a range like my runspeed https://hastebin.com/share/afehuhixuq.csharp

[teal viper]

Share code properly. You were pointed to the bot message.

[summer stump]

It's doing it in OnValidate, and using find, so I am not sure what's going on. Could be printing at odd times

[spiral narwhal]

MissingReferenceException: The object of type 'PlaceableObject' 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.
Props.DestroyableObject+<>c__DisplayClass4_0.<DestroySelf>b__0 (System.Int32 _) (at Assets/Scripts/Props/DestroyableObject.cs:37)

Why do I get this error on line 37, if the object is destroyed after that?

PlaceableObject Script:

private void DestroySelf()
        {
            foreach (var drop in _drops)
            {
                if (!Chance.Of(drop.Chance)) continue;

                var amount = Random.Range(drop.MinAmount, drop.MaxAmount);
                Enumerable

            }

            if (!_destroyOnDeath) return;

            UnregisterSelf();
            Destroy(gameObject);
        }

[teal viper]

Trying to access an object that was already destroyed. Hard to say anything else from just that snippet.

Though the fact that it's a PlaceableObject should give some clues.

[summer stump]

Destroy isn't instant

[latent bone]

The debug logs print 6 times collectively (once for each country) but its saying the same thing for each country, when it should be different for each country because each country has different adjacents

[summer stump]

I dunno. I feel like the fact that it's using OnValidate and Find are the issues, but I am not sure

[teal viper]

They all print the contents of the same object though. The one with Europe tag. Unless I missed something...

[latent bone]

nono but they dont. they all print the adjacents to the "North America" object

[summer stump]

Yeah, they want that, but think the Europe one should only have Africa, North America, and Asia

[latent bone]

when it should be the adjacents to the europe one

[teal viper]

Take a screenshot of the Territory component on an object with the Europe tag.

[latent bone]

Territory is just a script tho

[cinder basin]

alright so once again but with code share as needed:

guys i was following with brackeys tutorial on unity 2d games and i faced an issue with the collider being rapidly enabled and disalbed on its own ,i told someone on the ⁠unity-talk and he said to share my code here so hopefully someone can help me,
here is the movement script i made:
https://gdl.space/nepawutuka.cs
and here is the contolller brackeys made:
https://gdl.space/zucudutepu.cpp
please help i have no idea whats going on

[teal viper]

Is the adjacentCountries field not serialized? Make it serialized or enable inspector debug mode.

[latent bone]

ok how do i do that

sorry im new

[teal viper]

Make the field public

[latent bone]

it is

[summer stump]

They are properties

[teal viper]

Then take a screenshot of the whole component

Ah, make the backing field public

[summer stump]

You need [field: SerializeField]
Edit: yeah, that's it

[latent bone]

i just slap that before the adjacent countries field?

[summer stump]

Yep

Line above, or same line before the rest of the code

[latent bone]

[field: SerializeField] public List<Transform> adjacentCountries { get; set; } ?

like this

[cinder basin]

i feel unimportant
please help me

anyone

pleeeeeaase

[teal viper]

You probably missed something in the tutorial. Rewatch it and make sure you follow line to line and that your scene setup is the same.

If you really need help, start from providing more info on the issue. Like a video of the issue.

[summer stump]

Nothing in the code you shared referenced the collider or the active state of anything

[cinder basin]

im pretty sure i did everything as shown ,but ill check again

[latent bone]

okay its a step in the right direction, but now my code prints this (i changed the Country in the debug log to Asia)

[cinder basin]

what do you mean?i have two colliders for the player one circle for the lower part of the body and a box collider for the upper half wich is supposed to get disabled when crouching , but it disables and enables on its own

[summer stump]

Ok, show THAT code

Because it doesn't do any of that in the one you shared

[cinder basin]

i showd both didnt i ?

[summer stump]

You said one you made and one brackeys made

[cinder basin]

yea

[summer stump]

Do you mean the bottom one is one you have

I assumed it was just what they wrote and you werent using it

[cinder basin]

no the complex one was made by brackeys(the 2d controller)
the other one i made (the movement one wich look simple)

[summer stump]

Ok, looked through that one and still dont see anything setting colliders inactive
Can you give a line number?

Honestly, that code is rough though

[warm anvil]

Good evening - I'm curious, whenever I see tutorials about Scriptable Objects, it always seems to include setting a Menu item for creation of the object. Is this part necessary for Scriptable Objects to work? just seems a little too coincidental that all videos I see, it's included. Thanks!

[summer stump]

It is not necessary, but it makes them much easier

[warm anvil]

cool, thanks @summer stump

[summer stump]

They are asset files, so you will generally want multiple of them, otherwise why even use an SO?

[cinder basin]

ik he said it usually is and there is no need to learn how make one myself and to just downlaod a ready to use controller all the time ,

[latent bone]

oh wait @summer stump i just realised that what you said completely fixed it im pretty sure, so thank you for your help. Can you just explain to me what [Serialize field] means and what it does so i know for next time

[shell sorrel]

there is a attribute you can add to the top of the class to make this menu item for you

[cinder basin]

as for the line i have no idea what line could be causing the issue since there is no actual errors

[shell sorrel]

but if its not needed and you want to create them via your own logic its not required

[summer stump]

Serializing makes it so you can see the values in the inspector

[summer stump]

Well, nothing about your issue is an error

I just think none of that code is relevant to the issue

[cinder basin]

so what do i do im rally confused

[latent bone]

ok thank you

[summer stump]

Find wherever SetActive is in your code?

[vale karma]

Im still dealing with this movement state machine issue. how can i reference the rigidbody.velocity from the rb component of the player onto the PlayerIdleState? Any way that I know of trying gives me a null reference error during runtime. https://paste.ofcode.org/8NfSyqskSeXqAxiREAu2bY Edit: I replaced the parts that give errors with Input.GetAxis(Keycode)

[teal viper]

Start from explaining your issue properly. We're still not sure we even understand it correctly.

Recording a video would be better if you can't explain it in words properly.

[teal viper]

What lines gives off null reference?

[cinder basin]

alright,so im following up with brackeys tutorials and got to the part where i learn about movement , he said it was best to give the player 2 separate colliders and disable the top one to crouch , a circle one for the lower part of the body and a square one for the upper part which is supposed to be disabled when i want to crouch ,however the box collider is rapidly being disabled and enabled on its own without any relalted input which causes the player to get jittery when trying to move against a wall or so /
hopefully htis was a bit clearer

[vale karma]

    {
        Debug.Log("Help! I hope you see me!");
        if (playerMovement.rb.velocity > Vector3.zero)
        {
            player.SwitchState(player.WalkState);
        }
    }

I tried using PlayerMovement playerMovement;
the if statement throws an error, i tried GetComponent<Rigidbody>()

[teal viper]

Can you record a video demonstrating the collider being disabled and enabled?

[cinder basin]

ill try

[teal viper]

Where do you assign playerMovement?

[vale karma]

on the PlayerMovement script

[teal viper]

*where do you assign the variable in this class?

[vale karma]

This happens when i use the method playerMovement.RigidbodyMovement(walkSpeed) too

should i assign it to a vector3 variable? since im using position?

[teal viper]

Let's start from basics. Do you understand what a reference type is?

[vale karma]

yea a variable holds the data and a reference type points to the data

theres probably better wording but yea

[teal viper]

A variable holds data?

So, a variable can't be of a reference type?

What does this line in your script do?

    [SerializeField] PlayerMovement playerMovement;

[vale karma]

i figured it allowed this script to see the other script, or use a copy of it

[teal viper]

No.

What is that line called?

What are you doing on it? Is it a declaration? A definition? Initialization?

[vale karma]

uhh not sure, probably initialize?

[teal viper]

No.

[vale karma]

ooo so close

[static cedar]

Real.

[teal viper]

It's a declaration. What does a declaration mean?

Did you go through this stuff? It's all C# basics, that you should go over before even touching the code.

[cinder basin]

here is the video

[vale karma]

lol im pretty well adapt to coding, im just not great at it

im just getting stumped with one part of it lol

[teal viper]

Then you should be able to tell me what a declaration and initialization are. And how they are different.

[verbal dome]

This is more correct if you replace "variable" with "variable of value type"

[vale karma]

okay, ill figure this out on my own. I figured if i knew what the answer was i can work back and see what i did wrong more clearly. I get your super smart but i dont need a lesson man i can teach myself

[static cedar]

To go back to reference types.
References are also data... that references another data.
Every time you access something through a reference type, you're indirectly accessing the data in the reference.

[shell sorrel]

value type is everytime you pass it somewhere you copy it, refernece type is you just copy and pass its address so the other thing knows where to access it

[teal viper]

Here's the code that enables/disabled the collider:

            // If crouching
            if (crouch)
            {
                if (!m_wasCrouching)
                {
                    m_wasCrouching = true;
                    OnCrouchEvent.Invoke(true);
                }

                // Reduce the speed by the crouchSpeed multiplier
                move *= m_CrouchSpeed;

                // Disable one of the colliders when crouching
                if (m_CrouchDisableCollider != null)
                    m_CrouchDisableCollider.enabled = false;
            } else
            {
                // Enable the collider when not crouching
                if (m_CrouchDisableCollider != null)
                    m_CrouchDisableCollider.enabled = true;

                if (m_wasCrouching)
                {
                    m_wasCrouching = false;
                    OnCrouchEvent.Invoke(false);
                }
            }

If it enables/disables rapidly, it means that the conditions are changing every frame or so. Check what conditions are changing and why. Use logs or the debugger to figure it out.

[teal viper]

Well, we told you multiple times to go through these basics, and yet you're still here with the same question, which makes me think that your "self teaching" is not done in a correct way.

[cinder basin]

ill try tomorrow gotta sleep now

cant even htink straight rn

[vale karma]

i spent a day or two going over unity basics, and before this i spent a month or so in it, i mean its not hard to not understand something here or there, If i was able to make it from not knowing how to move a character to the new input system and then now statemachines with a couple minigames under my belt, i mean, i feel like i got farther than go back to square 1

[teal viper]

We're talking about code here. About how C# works. This has nothing to do with unity or character movement.

Or input system.

Or state machines.

What you miss is exactly the square one.

And you try to build something on that missing square. Obviously it's gonna collapse.

[vale karma]

okay, sorry. Ill figure it out.

[static cedar]

Reference types or simply referred to as just objects is very integral part of game development (objects as in a character, a character's limbs, and even abstract concepts are objects). So it's gonna be helpful to know it.

[teal viper]

I think that's also an issue. It seems like you try to figure something out on your own, but eventually get a wrong understanding. Then come back here after it's not working. Instead of repeating that loop, maybe try back up your understanding by asking here wether you get it correctly.

[slender nymph]

i just want to point out that in an object oriented language like c# where everything is an object, implying that just reference types are objects is incorrect

[static cedar]

It's not?

Also I thought C# is general purpose language.

[slender nymph]

structs, which are value types are also objects in c#

because everything is an object in c#

[static cedar]

Oh yeah.

[shell sorrel]

which you choose really depends on its purpose and how big it is

[static cedar]

It's best to break something down.

And have one manager class to manage them.

[shell sorrel]

C# does the value vs reference type thign with structs vs classes, other languages just let you choose on the go wether you pass it via a pointer or directly

[cosmic dagger]

i think the biggest misconception i've heard is that value types exist on the stack and reference types exist on the heap . . .

[static cedar]

Certainly yes.

[shell sorrel]

references almost always end up in heaps, for value types its every devs favioute phrase

"it depends"

[static cedar]

Well I think "if it's inside the function, a struct is on the stack" will suffice.

[shell sorrel]

before worrying about performance and if its heap and stack you should think about how you are using the data and which is more suited

[cosmic dagger]

that depends, is the struct a local variable or a class variable?

[shell sorrel]

also even in cases where its on the heap anyways like its a member of a array or list, structs can still help things along

[static cedar]

Ok, declared inside a function.

[shell sorrel]

since instead of a array of references to things elsewhere in memory, you get a array to just the thing you want

but would always choose first based on how its used and if you want the shared mutablity or not

[cosmic dagger]

value types are only stored on the stack when declared as a local variable or a method parameter . . .

[shell sorrel]

also even as a local var are some cases that make it escape and end up on the heap

[static cedar]

I don't think indirection like this is that costly.

[queen adder]

why talk about stack and heap here, its a managed language lol

[static cedar]

How?

[queen adder]

just making it more complicated for the person who is learning..

[cosmic dagger]

this is important for performance and gc allocation . . .

[queen adder]

Oh nvm

someone trying to microoptimize

[shell sorrel]

also the bigger message i am trying to get along anyways is choose mostly based on if you want shared mutability or not, and if you want to compare it based on value or identity

[slender nymph]

boxing a value type is one way to allocate it on the heap. or if the compiler determines the lifetime of the variable exceeds whatever expected time to be on the stack would be. there's actually a few ways to get a value type on the heap.
I wish i could find the really in depth article i read a few years ago about GC and struct allocations

[static cedar]

Oh you meant it like that.

I was imagining some breaking way to make a stack memory leak somehow.

[shell sorrel]

its really something not to get indepth about unless you are having issues iwth allocations and gc

use what is best suited to your logic and has the most clear intent

if there are issues a perf wise profile and learn why

[cosmic dagger]

yeah, if you're boxing value types intentionally, then shame on you . . .

[static cedar]

Yeah I always avoid boxing.

[shell sorrel]

it happens easily, interfaces

[static cedar]

I use generics in this case.

[timber tide]

Should I consider implementing an interface specifically for ID, or perhaps I should generalize it a bit more between assets? Maybe have a ISerializeID which extends into IItemID and IProfileID that are just naked interfaces

[cosmic dagger]

i don't count that as intentional, that's to be expected . . .

[timber tide]

Or maybe a better question is how grouped should these IDs be between every type of assets? Older games it seems like IDs are very much global due to limitations, but even today I've seen games group monster IDs and item IDs together

[static cedar]

I think IEnumerable methods will get boxed though. Even though it's a struct behind it.
Or does the compiler change it?

[static cedar]

What example is this just inevitable?

I use generic methods to avoid it getting boxed.

[summer stump]

That is one reason why it's important

[queen adder]

sorry i misread the entire conversation

i thought someone was asking for help but it was really just a debate about the specifics of the language

[shell sorrel]

if it wasnt managed people would not care, like in C i know whats on the heap since i had to manually allocate it

[summer stump]

Yeah, that's why I was confused by that. Knowing this is certainly not a microoptimization.

[static cedar]

What happens if you allocate too much in managed and unmanaged languages?

I guess in C you would get segmentation faults?

[summer stump]

In managed you can get huge or constant gc spikes

[static cedar]

Which slows down the program?

[shell sorrel]

causes hitching

[summer stump]

Exactly

[shell sorrel]

cleaning up GC is a total stop the world event, so the frame it happens on will be longer then the rest

its a little better with incremental gc used now, but still not a place you want to be in for a smooth gameplay experience

[static cedar]

What's a good place to call GC.Collect?

[shell sorrel]

99.9% of the time never do it your self

if you are having problems with GC, you should be looking into why you are allocating so often

and by problems i mean having the spikes actually negativlity effect your games performance on target hardware

are many ways to avoid it, like the NonAlloc versions of the various physics casts

object pooling any object you are instantiating and destroying often

[teal viper]

In C(++) it would just cause more memory used. Segfault is when you try to access uninitialized memory or do some other memory unsafe bullshit.

[shell sorrel]

simpley just reusing in place any large data structures you need

yeah allocating too much and not free is just a memory leak

it wont really error from that till its causeing problems for your whole system

[gaunt ice]

os will kill your program if you try to use too much memory
though you can set the limit

[shell sorrel]

yeah things can get pretty high before that happens though, have had a game that was leaking memory using all my ram and was causing the whole system to slow down due to swapping

[twilit dirge]

Hopefully this is the right section. how would i go about a typewriter text?

Right now I'm doing it with a couroutine just revealing one character at a time

[cosmic dagger]

that works just fine . . .

[twilit dirge]

But, this obviously only works if the game is unpaused, and I want to pause the game while talking in dialogue

[slender nymph]

that's the typical way to do it

[north kiln]

Then use unscaled delta time

Also, make sure by "revealing 1 character at a time" you mean using TextMeshPro's maxVisibleCharacters

and you don't mean modifying a string

[cosmic dagger]

you can have all the text already there and increase the maxVisibleCharacters field from TMP . . .

[twilit dirge]

yes and thank you it works!

[deft siren]

its not incriesing the drinkTimes when i press E, whats wrong?

[frosty hound]

It's Update, not update

[cosmic dagger]

your update method does not run because it's spelled incorrectly. c# is a case-sensitive language . . .

[deft siren]

i am incredibly sorry, and ashamed. thank you for your time

[deft siren]

when it suposedly deactivates the objects they flicker for some time before really dissapearing, i rlly dont know whats happening pls help

[faint sluice]

Where are you calling this coroutine from

[summer stump]

Nothing locks it from being called more than once, at least not here

Probably starting this coroutine more than once

Debug drinkTimes to see if it's going up more than expected

[faint sluice]

Or just keep a debug at start of coroutine

[summer stump]

Also, if it's not changing, you can do this
public WaitForSeconds waitTime;

This means you don't have to allocate new ones each time

[deft siren]

i made it so the counter goes up once it calls the courotine and its fixed, thanks a lot!!

[vale karma]

i fixed the issue, I was just creating an empty object and getting the value from it(which was null) i think. Heres the code that works. I dont really understand what 'player' means and i guess thats why i never thought of using it.

{
    NewInputSystemValues movement;

    public override void EnterState(PlayerStateManager player)
    {
        movement = player.GetComponent<NewInputSystemValues>();
        Debug.Log("Hello From the Idle state :D");
    }

    public override void UpdateState(PlayerStateManager player)
    {
        if (movement.MovementAction != Vector2.zero)
        {
            player.SwitchState(player.WalkState);
        }
          
    }```
 It has to do with the state machine and base class for example
```public abstract class PlayerBaseState
{
    public abstract void EnterState(PlayerStateManager player);```
im not sure what it does so i think i gotta watch the tutorial again

[teal viper]

player is a reference to an instance of a PlayerStateManager, which is apparently a component.

[static cedar]

Is this garbaj's tutorial?

[vale karma]

yea, i dont know how it works, but i dont want to go too far without understanding it, bc im gonna need to use it more i bet

[teal viper]

Well, search your code for where the abstract class is implemented then.

[static cedar]

Yeah also, if you don't know how abstract and virtual and override works it might be a bit confusing.

[teal viper]

Or rather, search where that method is being called from.

[vale karma]

the override and abstract makes sense, but i havent really messed with what virtual is

[teal viper]

I bet it's called from that PlayerStateManager and it just passes this

[vale karma]

yes

[static cedar]

Virtual is the same as abstract. Except the base method can implement and is the default method.

[teal viper]

Virtual is so that you can override the method.

[vale karma]

Yea its alot of new info, but so far i understand it being written, but writing it using my own code is harder to understand, but better if that makes sense

'this' is refering to the game object its attatched to right?

[static cedar]

It's always a good idea to write the code yourself if you want to understand it.

[static cedar]

No, it refers to "this" instance.

[teal viper]

It refers to the instance that the code runs in currently.

[vale karma]

seeing it scares me, and also now using parameters in methods is scaring me lol

[static cedar]

You only really use "this" if you have name conflicts with a method variable.

[vale karma]

that makes sense, i thought of it as the current state its in

[static cedar]

Since the code defaults to method variables then class variables.

public class MyClass
{
   public int num;

   public void Method(int num)
   {
      _ = this.num;
      _ = num;
   }
}

The num without the this keyword will refer to the num inside the method.

[vale karma]

and this.num will use the public int num?

[static cedar]

Yes.

[vale karma]

oooooohhhh i just had an epiphery

i had no idea how that related to my code, but after the tunnel vision i see public PlayerBaseState currentState; up top so it is making sense now

[calm coral]

Hey, I have an instance of VideoPlayer and after playing a video I need some kind of animation that it disappears, decays within 1 second like a transition of increasing its transparency from no transparent at all to fully transparent. Is there some way to do that?

I would just toggle active state of this game object but that would be immediate, I was wondering if I can make a transition that it fades out within 1 second

[teal viper]

What are you rendering the video to?

What's the target?

[calm coral]

Camera near plane? It's a 2D camera, should I change that?

[teal viper]

Hmm... What about that alpha? Can't you lerp it to 0?

[calm coral]

Uh... is that what you meant? This property?

[teal viper]

Probably. Check the docs for more details.

Sounds like that's correct
https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Video.VideoPlayer-targetCameraAlpha.html

[faint osprey]

    {
        currentWeapon = SV.currentWeapon;
        Instantiate(currentWeapon);
        currentWeapon.transform.position = holderPosFront.transform.position;
        currentWeapon.transform.parent = holderPosFront.transform;
    }```
this is my start function on my players weapon handler however for some reason it only runs the first two statements

ive put a dubug at the bottom and that still gets called

ive just seen the area Transform resides in a Prefab asset and cannot be set to prevent data corruption

how do i fix that

dont worry i think i got it

[teal viper]

You are trying to modify the prefab(the one that sits in your assets), not the instance that you instantiate. Check the Instantiate method documentation. What does it return?

[static cedar]

currentWeapon = Instantiate(SV.currentWeapon);
Either way, seems like he got it.

[calm coral]

Aight, I need some time to make it work but I think I'm on the good path now, thanks!

[calm coral]

void Start()
{
    intro.loopPointReached += IntroComplete;
}

async void IntroComplete(VideoPlayer source)
{
    float completeTime = Time.time;
    float timeDiff = 0;

    while(timeDiff <= 1)
    {
        timeDiff = Time.time - completeTime;
        source.targetCameraAlpha = 1 - timeDiff; // here is the alpha change that makes the transition, perfect!
        await Awaitable.EndOfFrameAsync(destroyCancellationToken);
    }
}
```Yes, this works all perfectly and I got what I wanted, thanks again a lot @teal viper it's not the first time you were so helpful!

[north kiln]

I kinda imagine you want NextFrameAsync, not EndOfFrameAsync

[calm coral]

I've replaced with NextFrameAsync() but I can't tell the difference, maybe it's a single frame difference that's unnoticeable for me

It seems both are working

[north kiln]

it's the difference between waiting until a normal time in the frame, or after everything has completed and when the frame is rendering

NextFrame is similar to yield return null, which is the usual behaviour

[calm coral]

Aight thanks!

[timber tide]

Cleaning up some of my prefabs and now I'm debating on how I want to reference all my components. Should I consider just having a root component that serializes all references for each individual component used by the prefab, and then give each of these components a reference to the root (bidirectional referencing). Or, should I just require each component to serialize the references to the components they specifically need?

I'd have to make multiple different classes probably with this root component idea since each implementation would be different depending on the prefab.

[night mural]

imo the scene should not be the source of truth for any gamestate, just a visual representation of it (so you would never need to directly serialize a prefab or its components)

[timber tide]

this is all on the prefab itself, such as a player prefab / enemy prefab

[night mural]

even if you do go that route, i think it makes sense to decouple serialization from those components themselves and have something in charge of collecting up/saving whatever things you actually need to persist

[timber tide]

for what I've been developing, I've noticed a lot of my components need references to my animator or my stat component, so I thought instead of binding that reference 10 times throughout the prefab, why don't I just give it a reference to a collection of references?

[night mural]

sounds like that's what you'd serialize then?

[timber tide]

yeah, I know, but gotta go throughout the whole prefab to match references which can be a lot of mix and matching

I guess it's more of an issue that I do have problems with serialization breaking and me having to go back and rebinding it all

[night mural]

yeah, i don't know of a good solution for that other than my suggestion of 'make it so you don't have to do it'

[timber tide]

I had a lot of stuff binding via getcomponent with onvalidate, but the hierarchy isn't always similar to other prefabs so I need to rid of that idea.

[vale karma]

is there more documentation on creating state machines for movement? im watching iheartgamedevs tutorials on statemachines and each video it changes the type of state machine he has/rewrites it. Its hard to follow this way bc the earlier videos are flawed so i dont want to follow it, but his recent video is completely different than what i made already

so i dont want to refactor all my code to the first videos machine, then the second, then third, id rather learn the most optimized way from the getgo

[static cedar]

You tried Bardent's?

[vale karma]

i dont think i have, ill try it

[static cedar]

You don't have to start from part 1 on his tutorial, he completely rewrites it starting around 20.

It's also around there he specifically makes finite state machine for managing player movement.

[vale karma]

okay, i feel like i dont know enough about them to pick what i need to do now, right now i have 2 movement scripts and a bunch of state machines and im getting stumped more and more as i go

a refactored moving script lol im still completing the new movement script

i have questions like "how do i integrate my scripts into a state machine?" they never show that, just mainly how to build it. or even "How can i make a hierarchical state machine while using the state machine i just made"

[static cedar]

Are you asking how state machines work?

I could probably describe it. :P

[vale karma]

no i understand how they work, just not how to implement it into my code and make it work

i get stuck on things like, "should this stay in the movement script or should it be moved to the statemachine?"

[static cedar]

Is that really understanding if you don't know both? O.o

[vale karma]

no, i understand the concept of them but not how to use them ;D

even then if i try and lookup some written documentation its always about the animator and not the code

the entire time ive tried learning how to make a game i keep getting stumped on WHAT i need to learn. Noone ever tells you the next thing you should do lol

[static cedar]

Well for starters, all state machine rely on polymorphism. Basically, it's being able to use something, without knowing what it specifically is.

All the states you've made like WalkingState and IdleState have methods like EnterState and ExitState.

[vale karma]

yea im stuck at a point trying to find out how to run Exitstate after a command in EnterState.

basically im jumping twice if im fast enough

[static cedar]

Theyre all declared in another script that they should all inherit from, probably called BaseState.
It's just a series of virtual or abstract functions.

[night mural]

you probably want to exit the previous state before entering the next state

[vale karma]

and im running into problems where i have to write IsGrounded on every state that needs it or switch the state to Jump on every movement state... its a mess DX

[static cedar]

It's a bunch of if statements.

[vale karma]

yea thats what im trying to avoid, i know that you can make a hierarchical state machine with jump and grounded able to happen at the same time as the other states without having to hardcode each state to it

I just dont have the bigbrains yet

[static cedar]

The tutorial could make a OnGroundState that IdleState and WalkingState inherits from so you don't have to rewrite it over and over. But you might get more confused considering that you're not really used on thinking about these inheritance patterns yet.

[sour ruin]

debug.logging rb velocity gives 0, 0, 0 even though the player is moving around correctly (this is being called from fixed update)

[charred spoke]

A hierarchical state machine means that you can have another state machine as a state. Basically nested state machines it does not mean you can be in two states at once. No state should or does that.

[timber tide]

stuff like IsGrounded is more of a global flag than a state

[vale karma]

oh, god my brain

[timber tide]

or rather Uri's suggestion of hierarchical states

[vale karma]

ill have to restart and build from what i know until i start getting destructive again, and recreate this in a more organized and structured fashion

[static cedar]

Not sure about having multiple state machines.

[vale karma]

yeaa, the way uri puts it its not as fun to have

[static cedar]

Can't the state themselves be in a hierarchy pattern?

[vale karma]

yea like reading left to right, but if i want IsGrounded and Jump to be able to happen from any of them, thats alot of spegetti the whole thing was implemented to avoid

[static cedar]

BaseState: Defines basic functions for each state.

• OnAirState
• OnGroundState: Defines the functionality to jump or transitioning to OnAirState when not in ground.
• WalkingState: Walking left or right.
• IdleState: Standing idle.

[vale karma]

this hurts my brain, i must absorb

[static cedar]

Real.

[charred spoke]

You dont need a onGroundState for a statemachine like that

[vale karma]

it doesnt help the same guy put out 4 tutorials on the same topic within a 6 month period of revisions

[charred spoke]

Well dont follow that tutorial then

[static cedar]

It just exists so it's reused for WalkingState and IdleState.

[night mural]

Yep, state machines tend to be about creating hard boundaries but games tend to mostly be full of soft boundaries. It might not be a good fit for the movement in your game and I'd recommend just starting with clean procedural code to get a feel for what your actual needs are

[vale karma]

eya im watchin this 2d one now lilac mentioned

@night mural i refactored my code to look really nice, but then got to a spegetti-if halt from the multiple features i wanted the movement to have. I want basic crouch, run, jump, walk, and idle movements, which is simple, but i know i will need more than that for future games

[night mural]

sometimes complex things require complex code

just be careful getting stuck re-implementing the same thing a bunch of different ways before you're sure if you actually need it and why

[vale karma]

okay ill remember

[timber tide]

just stick stuff in methods even if it's not reusable and it'll look less spaghetti

[static cedar]

Guard clause exists.

[night mural]

nah, if things are truly coupled together, keep them together.

[static cedar]

if (!grounded)
{
   state_machine.ChangeState(onair_state);
   return;
}

if (input.x != 0)
{
   state_machine.ChangeState(walking_state);
   return;
}

This much is unavoidable.

[vale karma]

^^thats how i have it rn, but the jump state jumps twice if im quick enouch

im okay with that

[static cedar]

There might be an issue on how the state is changing or what state comes after jumping.

[vale karma]

i wanted to implement a counter for it, but failed lol. so unless i want to jump high randomly im stuck here

that leads to why i figured changing the state from both idle and walking to jumping seems redundant and could cause that

it goes to walking, i heard something about substates for when it could go to either of them, but idk how it works

[static cedar]

When you jump, it goes into OnAirState right?

[vale karma]

i dont have onairstate, but rather Jump state. but yes, when the spacebar is pressed, the Walking/Idle state checks if its grounded then changes state to the Jump state. The EnterState() function runs playerMovement.Jump()

[static cedar]

Does your jump state have a ground check?

[vale karma]

and the update function checks if its grounded to change it to walkstate.

it did, i took it off since i figured its asking twice bc its switching states

i had it on the method, state, and previous state at the same time too

[static cedar]

Then I might be able to guess why.
You're not instantly in the air when you jump.
So
on ground -> jumping state -> on ground.

It's probably because you're not high up in the air enough that it instantly goes back to ground state.

You can fix this by having a minimum time to be in jump state.

[vale karma]

yea im seeing it now, its called 6 times every 1 button press

[static cedar]

Sounds cracked.

[vale karma]

im guessing a corutine would work?

[static cedar]

The states should suffice with only on frame updates.

[vale karma]

couldnt i put a set amount of time before it switches? idk how to add a certain amount of time to it

[static cedar]

Exactly.
You have the EnterState method.
Add a float parameter and set it to the current time.

And another float parameter on how long you have to stay on jumping state.

Add those two floats on update and check if it's less than current time.

[teal viper]

Another way is to make the grounded/jumping condition more robust. For example, checking the character velocity. If it's upwards, it doesn't make sense to transition to grounded state.

[vale karma]

what if hes walkin up a hill? wouldnt that go up in velocity?

[static cedar]

I don't like this method when you have to add stuff like vertical platforms tho.

[teal viper]

Well, it depends on the project of course, but the point is, to identify correct conditions for transition. If you're going back and forth between states every frame, it's not a solid state machine.

[vale karma]

is there any other way to have a good state machine with jumping? i cant think of anything else that could check more accurately than isgrounded

[static cedar]

You totally need a isgrounded.

[teal viper]

If you only make the check when you are already in the jumping state, that would prevent it from transitioning back into grounded. And you shouldn't transition from grounded to jumping just with that one condition.

So slopes shouldn't be a problem.

[static cedar]

What about jumping on a vertical slope?

Jumping and landing.

[teal viper]

Also, I wouldn't treat vertical platforms the same way as a normal grounded state.

[teal viper]

What about it? The gravity direction is still the same.

You can't land on something while moving upwards.
Unless you have custom physics and orientation mechanics.

Like changing the gravity to point up and stuff.

[static cedar]

Jumping and landing while trying to climb up the slope at the same time.
You probably can't transition back to ground state if you're using Rigidbodies.

[teal viper]

Okay, I see that one case. But that can be handled separately.

[vale karma]

i figured i could do something like jump in the enter state if a bool is true, then set it false, then go to the ExitState() and set a bool to true and switch

it seems easier if i just want to jump once

[static cedar]

Your jump force isn't on enter state?

[vale karma]

nah, its in the movement script

[static cedar]

That's fine too.

[teal viper]

For example instead of simple velocity direction check,check it against the surface normal, and if the directions meet, consider it grounded.

[static cedar]

But you still have to prevent false positives when the jump state changes to the ground state.

[eternal needle]

i find its sufficient to just check the grounds normal along with if you jumped recently, you are likely gonna have a jump cooldown anyways. So you can use this cooldown to see if it makes sense for the player to be grounded

[vale karma]

yess just noticed. dangit

[static cedar]

Yes but you don't change how your ground check works.
Do as dlich and I suggest to only add the extra conditions specifically on the jump state.

[vale karma]

so i took out the ground checks for the other states, is it good enough to just have the groundcheck on the updatestate for Jumping?

nah its still happening

[static cedar]

Why did you took out the ground check for other states?

[vale karma]

oh wait what are the extra conditions

[static cedar]

Only the jump state prematurely moving to ground state is the problem.

[vale karma]

how do i get it out of the jumpstate then?

[static cedar]

Use the isgrounded AND minimum jump state time or a y velocity check.

[vale karma]

uhh 1.0 is equal to 1 minute right?

[tepid summit]

hey would anyone like to give a brief explanation of instantiate? (ive only ever used it for guns & shooting so my brain just automatically goes: hehe funny gun word).

[static cedar]

Time is measured in seconds in unity.

You only need like a fraction of a second for a minimum time.

[vale karma]

1 is too much, .001 doesnt work, .01 doesnt exit still

[teal viper]

To put it simply it creates a copy of the object.
For more details I recommend checking the documentation.

[static cedar]

0.1f

[tepid summit]

ok

that was my basic idea

like a cloning feature

[vale karma]

i cant jump anymore after the first jump

probably bc i didnt reset it haha

[static cedar]

Post code.

Of your jump state.

[vale karma]

nvmd didnt work

[tepid summit]

ohh wait yeah

that makes sense

i was instantiating the bullet and adding force

im learnding

[vale karma]

using Unity.VisualScripting;
using UnityEngine;

public class PlayerJumpState : PlayerBaseState
{
    PlayerMovement playerMovement;
    float currentTime;
    float waitTime = .1f;

    public override void EnterState(PlayerStateManager player)
    {    
        currentTime = Time.deltaTime;
        Debug.Log(currentTime);
        Debug.Log("JumpState Enter");
        playerMovement = player.GetComponent<PlayerMovement>();
            playerMovement.Jump();         
    }

    public override void UpdateState(PlayerStateManager player)
    {
        if (playerMovement.IsGrounded() && currentTime > waitTime )
        {
            player.SwitchState(player.WalkState);
        }
    }
}```

[tepid summit]

why do you have a specidic float for deltatime

[vale karma]

no idea

[tepid summit]

ok

dont you have to make states before using them

[static cedar]

Why is current time using delta time?

[vale karma]

no idea

[static cedar]

Time.time for current time.

[tepid summit]

what is currenttime meant for

[tepid summit]

oh ok

[static cedar]

@vale karma

[vale karma]

loll yea i never used Time.time, so i looked at whatever options come after the .

[static cedar]

Also your if check is also wrong.

Time.time > currentTime + waitTime

Rename current time to

The time the state became jump state.

Crunch that sentence lol.

stateStartTime might work.

[static cedar]

@vale karma

[vale karma]

okay i got it all written, lets see if it works

    PlayerMovement playerMovement;
    float waitTime = .2f;
    float stateStartTime;
    public override void EnterState(PlayerStateManager player)
    {
        stateStartTime = Time.time;
        Debug.Log(stateStartTime);
        Debug.Log("JumpState Enter");
        playerMovement = player.GetComponent<PlayerMovement>();
            playerMovement.Jump();      
    }
    public override void UpdateState(PlayerStateManager player)
    {
        if (playerMovement.IsGrounded() && Time.time > waitTime + stateStartTime )
        {
            player.SwitchState(player.WalkState);``` this works

[static cedar]

What script is this?

[vale karma]

jumpstate

[static cedar]

Ah ok.

[sour ruin]

unresolved question, still havent figured it out.

[tepid summit]

are you applying force or changing transform

[tepid summit]

debug.log to see if targespeed changes

[sour ruin]

it changes

currentvelocity works as intended

[eternal needle]

force isnt added instantly, it is added after the physics simulation step. your debug.log wont be accurate

[sour ruin]

would lateUpdate be better?

[eternal needle]

no, as that depends on framerate and will still have the same issue. Is your debug always giving 0?

[sour ruin]

always

gravity updates the velocity correctly i should add

[eternal needle]

can u show the inspector for the rigidbody? also maybe other code is affecting the rigidbody in some way

[sour ruin]

i only have one other section adding forces and that one works correctly

[vale karma]

i got it running, jumping, and sprinting correctly 😄 ill do crouching tomorow

[eternal needle]

maybe look at the physics debugger to see its velocity instead. i dont see why this would always log 0, unless the log is only happening when the velocity is 0 beforehand.

[vale karma]

thnks guys catch u tomorow

[eternal needle]

theres likely other code thats affecting this, or the code isnt affecting the object you think it is

[sour ruin]

physics debugger agrees with debug.log

[eternal needle]

that it is 0? then you are likely not affecting the object that you think

if you said the object is moving properly, or you have other code moving it

[sour ruin]

this is the only other place the rigid body is being referenced and the velocity is correctly updated

here where it is suspiciously not updating velocity correctly, if i comment out the addforce line my character cannot move so it is doing something

[earnest atlas]

why u have AddForce of velocity change and inpulse?

So far jumps worked fine with impulse

[sour ruin]

the impulse is being used for the jumping and velocity change for walking

[earnest atlas]

Rb used to move works weird

when I tried it likes to get stuck

[sour ruin]

its definitely working since my guy is walking around just fine

values just arent being updated though

[sour ruin]

as the impulse works correctly i am applying the force to the right object, might i be using velocitychange wrong?

there really isnt much to do wrong with it, its just an enum. I dont really know whats wrong with it, i think there is still other code affecting this.

T something_normalized=(start-end).normalized
if(start+something_normalized*amount>end){
  return end;
}else{
  return start+something_normalized*amount;
}
```you need clamp and normalization

[earnest atlas]

I would belive more that he has issues with code then bug with rb that is used a lot

[flat slate]

am i able to implement MoveTowards?

[earnest atlas]

yeah moveTowards will move it to position

[flat slate]

but how do i implement that?

[earnest atlas]

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Vector2.MoveTowards.html

[gaunt ice]

dont reinvent the wheel btw

[earnest atlas]

I love reinventing a wheel

I spent 2 days coding FPS controller only to decide im done and understand how Unity Asset one works

[flat slate]

can u help me with the MoveTowards?

im to dumb to do it

no wait

[bright zodiac]

I'm not sure if it's actually what you wanted, but here's Unity's impl

        // Moves a point /current/ towards /target/.
        [MethodImpl(MethodImplOptionsEx.AggressiveInlining)]
        public static Vector2 MoveTowards(Vector2 current, Vector2 target, float maxDistanceDelta)
        {
            // avoid vector ops because current scripting backends are terrible at inlining
            float toVector_x = target.x - current.x;
            float toVector_y = target.y - current.y;

            float sqDist = toVector_x * toVector_x + toVector_y * toVector_y;

            if (sqDist == 0 || (maxDistanceDelta >= 0 && sqDist <= maxDistanceDelta * maxDistanceDelta))
                return target;

            float dist = (float)Math.Sqrt(sqDist);

            return new Vector2(current.x + toVector_x / dist * maxDistanceDelta,
                current.y + toVector_y / dist * maxDistanceDelta);
        }

https://github.com/Unity-Technologies/UnityCsReference/blob/master/Runtime/Export/Math/Vector2.cs

there's not much you can do to make it better than it already is other than replacing those divisions, but that will introduce other issues and new edge cases.

[graceful citrus]

it should be fine. what part are you stuck on

[noble summit]

is it possible to connect a server with other people who have the build for free

[timid saffron]

good morning. what goes in underlined pharantesis? is it just int value or something custom

if i wrote int 0 would it start from zero

[rare basin]

if you call the function with AddLives(0)

then the value will be 0

so 1st line from the function

will be

lives += 0

[timid saffron]

i gotta make it lives=lives+1 yes?

oh

wait

right

lives is 10 this way

for initializing it i may use a timer too later

[earnest atlas]

someone writes code on paper omg

also if you want to change same variable you can do this
+=,-=,/=,*=

its basically a = a+-/* number

[timid saffron]

yeah.

i read it easier this way

thats why

[noble summit]

writing code on paper is elite

[eternal needle]

of course, you just connect to the server, whatever the server may be.

[timid saffron]

before IDEs we had paper boy👴

[torn gyro]

hey could anyone help me : (

[north scroll]

does the underscore prefix of a var and private do the same thing ?

[torn gyro]

i tried making an update score function in a box collision script but it doesnt update the text on screen

[rare basin]

so maybe show the code?

[torn gyro]

lmao good point

[earnest atlas]

wdym by this?

[eternal needle]

the name has 0 affect

[burnt vapor]

Prefixing a variable name with an understore does absolutely nothing. It's common to do with private variables to indicate they are private

[earnest atlas]

yeah thats just naming

[burnt vapor]

This is about as effective as writing code on a phone

[torn gyro]

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


public class LogicManager : MonoBehaviour
{
    public int playerScore;
    public Text scoretext;


    [ContextMenu("Increase Score")]
    public void addScore(int scoreToAdd)
    {
        playerScore += scoreToAdd;
        scoretext.text = playerScore.ToString();
    }
}

using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;

public class PipeMiddleScript : MonoBehaviour
{
    // Start is called before the first frame update
    public LogicManager LogicManager;

    void Start()
    {
        LogicManager = GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag("Logic").GetComponent<LogicManager>();
    }

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

    }

    private void OnTriggerEnter2D(Collider2D collision)
    {

        if (collision.gameObject.layer == 3)
        {
            LogicManager.addScore(1);
            Debug.Log("added score");

        }
    }
}

the first one is for the text to show

the second one is the box clission

[burnt vapor]

Consider actually debugging your application. Add Debug.Log statements to addScore for example.

[torn gyro]

i did : (

[burnt vapor]

See if it's called at all, and see if addScore actually logs the value you expect to write to the screen

[burnt vapor]

Ok so what are the results?

[torn gyro]

seems that OnTrigger isnt beinbg triggered : (

[burnt vapor]

Ok so why are yo not telling this? 🤔

[earnest atlas]

do you have collider set to trigger?

[burnt vapor]

It's very important you share as much info as possible

[north scroll]

ok so an underscore has 0 effect? Cuz ive been trying to look up on google and I keep getting that if you don't have an underscore you might have to do something with classes and pointers (this-> )

[hidden sleet]

Say I have a script on an object that inherits from another class that extends MonoBehaviour,

ParentClass : MonoBehaviour
SubClass : ParentClass```
and I have that subclass attached to an object. If I ask for the parent class in code ```cs
FindObjectOfType<ParentClass>();``` will it pick up an object if the subclass script is attached to an object?

[north scroll]

private would be to make it inaccessible where as the underscore is purely for readability sakes basically, right ?

[burnt vapor]

@torn gyro Please follow the steps indicated here and see if this fixes your issue https://unity.huh.how/physics-messages

[torn gyro]

mhmmm

[burnt vapor]

And consider also logging your trigger behaviour considering that's the part that fails according to you. Place Debug messages and see if they're actually not called. Currently your code only checks if the trigger activates on a certain layer.

https://unity.huh.how/debugging And read this

[torn gyro]

my game object is set to layer 3

[earnest atlas]

you have BOX collider

is it 3d or 2d game?

[burnt vapor]

Yes, but is the trigger called at all?

[torn gyro]

2 d

[earnest atlas]

you need box collider 2d

otherwise on trigger wont get a call

[burnt vapor]

The worst part about helping somebody with debugging their application is when somebody else ends up spoonfeeding the answer

Thanks @earnest atlas

[torn gyro]

oh theres one more issue that is easily traceable too

[earnest atlas]

OnTriggerEnter2D (collider2D other) is for 2D
OnTriggerEnter(collider other) is for 3d

[torn gyro]

the context menue doesnt show under Logic manager

does that have anything to do with it

[earnest atlas]

I have no idea what is ContextMenu

[burnt vapor]

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

[torn gyro]

OH SHIUT

[earnest atlas]

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

[torn gyro]

i fucking didnt read that shit

[burnt vapor]

When debugging something like this you might be better off following the most basic example first

So see if copy pasing the method from the wiki does anything

[earnest atlas]

Not increase score, you need to write there addScore

public class ContextTesting : MonoBehaviour
{
    /// Add a context menu named "Do Something" in the inspector
    /// of the attached script.
    [ContextMenu("Do Something")]
    void DoSomething()
    {
        Debug.Log("Perform operation");
    }
}```

[burnt vapor]

That's not at all how to fix the issue, please stop helping if you have no idea how it works 🤦‍♂️

You have already spoonfed the previous answer instead of providing a good way to debug the issue, maybe wrap it up for now

@torn gyro See if the method from the wiki works for you.

[rare basin]

👆

[north kiln]

You can't add it to a method that takes arguments

[torn gyro]

OMG why you guys bully @earnest atlas

[earnest atlas]

are they?

[torn gyro]

his solution was correct

[earnest atlas]

Im kinda not looking

[torn gyro]

idk :/

[torn gyro]

this fixed it

[rare basin]

but he wasn't bullied for that lol

[earnest atlas]

yeah I had experience with exactly same issue u had

[torn gyro]

lmaooo thats a bully statment

[rare basin]

that's a fact

[earnest atlas]

im not even sure who he adressed that

[torn gyro]

to u i think : P

[burnt vapor]

The problem is that I'm trying to get you to debug your issue so you can fix any future issues yourself, and they proceed to spoonfeed the answer instead.

Now you have no idea how to fix any future problems

[rare basin]

he's always spoonfeeding there

with weird fixes

[earnest atlas]

who?

[torn gyro]

chat gbt : P

[north kiln]

The answer was nonsense so, I can see why they said that

[burnt vapor]

I understand people love to help, but please don't spoonfeed an answer

[burnt vapor]

And please don't use ChatGPT as a beginner...

[rare basin]

they have been told this several times

[torn gyro]

im second year cs

[burnt vapor]

I see. I don't check this channel as often as I used to

[rare basin]

spoonfeeding should be against the rules lmao

[timid saffron]

my code for this is

if (transform.position.z>35 || transform.position.x >35)
{
Destroy(gameObject);
}
else if transform.position.z<-35 || transform.position.x <-35)
{
gameManager.Addlives(-1);
Destroy(gameObject)
}

how can I make it so that players lives decrease each time a gameobject gets destroyed in either x or z axis? for example my code includes || thats if position is ... or position is... I dont wanna use the code in the screenshot as I want it to be as short as possible

[eternal needle]

so, a beginner

[torn gyro]

gimme internship pls :/

[timid saffron]

there is "||" in code but discord marked it as spoiler

@earnest atlas @rare basin @burnt vapor thanks yall < 3 this issue took me 2 hours btw i had to look at every single aspect of the project until i gave up and came here

you?

Also knowing that it exists. :0

[burnt vapor]

Please read about debugging, in case you have not done so yet. https://unity.huh.how/debugging

[torn gyro]

ok

you know i had to restart like 5 times cuz i keep pressing play button without saving :/

[burnt vapor]

What do you mean restart? Code should not disappear if you forget to save

[torn gyro]

sprite making

and managing inside unity

aside from scripts

[teal viper]

What's the problem with this code?

[static cedar]

Coffee script?

[burnt vapor]

Just what the site assumes to be the language used, it's often wrong

[static cedar]

Probably cause of the first line.

[burnt vapor]

Or the fact they wrote the entire question alongside the code 🤔

[static cedar]

Definitely that.

Side note, if we suddenly talk about the odd things they did while asking for help, I'd get a bit nervous.

[shrewd swift]

can I update directly a specific axis of the size of Sprite Renderer ?

or is it like Transform and you have to give a whole Vector

[static cedar]

You can't.

It's because it's a getter/setter. Not an actual field so you can't change something inside directly.

[timid saffron]

theres no problem. unity wrote this code this way but i wrote it differently and i dont wanna change it because i wanna make it as short as possible. in unitys version players lives decrease when animal is destroyed in x and it decreases when its destroyed in z too. in my version it decreases by one if it gets destroyed in either z or x

i wanna make it so that if it gets destroyed in x or z players live decreases by 1 instead of if it gets destroyed in either z or x

[teal viper]

So what's the question?

If there is no problem, what's the meaning behind your message?

[timid saffron]

it is how can i make players live decrease if animal gets desroyed in both z and x (-2 lives) instead of it getting destroyed either in z or x axis (-1 live)

i used "||"

unity didnt

[rare basin]

destroyed in both z and x?

what do you mean

[teal viper]

Wdym by "unity didn't"? Unity is not a living person. It doesn't write code.

[burnt vapor]

... Use &&? Your question is confusing

[timid saffron]

ill show you

[teal viper]

Okay, so did that fix the issue?

[burnt vapor]

I assume you want to use && rather than ||

[rare basin]

desroyed in both z and x

then yea use &&

if you want both conditions

why did you use || then

[timid saffron]

ok ilk try

[timid saffron]

i dont know ill try when i get home

[teal viper]

I still don't get what "unity version" is?

[teal viper]

So you didn't even try that code?

[timid saffron]

this is unitys version of code

they have 2 else ifs

i have one

[rare basin]

ok, so what?

[teal viper]

Wtf is "unity version"??

[rare basin]

from !learn

[eternal falcon]

:teacher: Unity Learn ↗

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

[teal viper]

Unity is a game engine it doesn't write code!!

[rare basin]

they are following a tutorial

[timid saffron]

yeah

[rare basin]

from unity learn

[teal viper]

Ok, so it's "code from a tutorial". Not unity version.

[timid saffron]

so they have 2 Add.Lives(-1)

i have one

[rare basin]

ok so what about it

[timid saffron]

here

[rare basin]

that's unreadable

[timid saffron]

i think using && will fix it

[rare basin]

then check it

what is the problem

i still dont understand

[torn gyro]

my text look ugly :/

[burnt vapor]

He wanted to check both cases instead of either one, I guess. Hence why && should be used rather than ||

[torn gyro]

i googled it it says resalution

but i have it set to 1080p

[burnt vapor]

What are you talking about? 🤔

[timid saffron]

i will

[delicate tangle]

anyone know what "unity NullReferenceExeption: Object reference not set to an instance object" means

you probably made some code, or copied some code, but didn't actually tell it what the fields mean

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

imagine i said "there's a person in this room called larry" but never told you who. you can't bring larry back to me

the computer doesn't know what the objects its trying to move are. you have to tell it

oh ok thank you

Hi everyone, how can I solve this problem?

[autumn tusk]

ok i dont understand this in the slightest

basically im trying to implement a burst system for my game

so being able to fire in bursts

[burnt vapor]

That looks like an internal error. Do you have any custom shaders or anything related to shaders being changed?

firing multiple times with one shot i got sorted out, but i cannot get delays between shots working

Look up coroutines, and when you shoot use a coroutine to apply delays between shots

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

[autumn tusk]

already did that but it doesnt seem to work

[rare basin]

show the code then

[burnt vapor]

Yes it does. What have you tried?

[river glade]

no, I just updated unity, so I use the new HDRP version 14.0.10

[autumn tusk]

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

[rare basin]

what is AE/Leaves

that looks like a custom asset

[burnt vapor]

Sorry, not experienced with HDRP. Try restarting Unity or downgrading if the issue persists

[rare basin]

                }
            }
        }```
my coroutine isnt activating

[rare basin]

then that asset is causing issues

grass shader

it might not be made for HDRP

[burnt vapor]

What do I need to look at. Line 79?

That's not how a Coroutine works

A Coroutine does not magically halt code in a non-coroutine just because you start one

[river glade]

oh

[burnt vapor]

The code will continue as normal

Instead, this code must also be a coroutine

[autumn tusk]

alright

makes sense

[burnt vapor]

And you can call a coroutine and yield that one to add a delay, or just add a delay there directly

[river glade]

is there a way to solve it?

[rare basin]

use a grass shader that is made for HDRP

or make your own

[burnt vapor]

Code in Unity is synchronous. Coroutines fake asynchronous code running in the background by having Unity invoke these yield commands. Kind of a complex topic.

You can also make actual asynchronous code with Tasks. If you make that function a Task it can also use delays

But in Unity async code works the exact same as Coroutines

But still very good knowledge to have

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/asynchronous-programming/async-return-types#task-return-type

Starting with Unity 2023 they have a better system for this https://docs.unity3d.com/2023.2/Documentation/Manual/AwaitSupport.html

Have fun reading

[autumn tusk]

im using unity 2022.3.13 sadly

[burnt vapor]

Regular async still applies, or continue using Coroutines

Async is just better because the flow is a lot more clear and undisturbed

And external libraries will use it, if you ever need them

Or upgrade 😎

[dusky finch]

how can i get a hollow circle? is that possible without using some renderer? i would also like to have it as a prefab with other shapes inside it

[burnt vapor]

You mean a circle mesh with a hollow inside? Consider asking a channel related to that

Probuilder for example, is a tool that allows you to easily make geometry. Idk if it can make a hollow circle as easy

#🛠️┃probuilder

[dusky finch]

thanks ill check it out

[quaint flicker]

I'm using URP and new input system, and I just noticed randomly that if I press both sticks on a controller in play mode a debug stats window pops up. Kinda cool, but also.. where's that coming from? I'm pretty sure I don't have anything to trigger it in my input actions, and my canvas event system is setup to process the new input system. It's called DebugUIHandlerContainer so the debug means this will NOT be in my release build, right?

[hexed terrace]

Not a code question, try asking in #🖱️┃input-system or #archived-urp

also.. just do a build and test it ?

[visual hedge]

hello everyone.

[System.Serializable]
public class CapturedPets
{
    public GameObject thePrefab;
    public BaseClass Stats;
    public Level Level;
    public EnemyType Type;
    public EnemyRarity Rarity;
}

how can I actually save the reference to a gameObject? Let's say I plan to use json.
What this class will later do is at the turn-based battle start it will instantiate thePrefab gameobject and then load all the data below.
Is making a string with the path to the gameObject instead of direct reference a way to go?

[timber tide]

you don't save that specific reference per say, instead you construct a new object of that type and populate it with the data you written to your json

you can cut down on the data you need to write and read if that specific data is non-unique, such as defaults, which then you can just serialize an ID to be used with a lookup table that you construct from all your prefabs/SOs on startup

[visual hedge]

I have lot's of 3d models... so I am pretty sure you are right, but that won't be possible for my case sadly.
Meanwhile I found some solution here and that would be making a dictionary of gameobjects and their names as string... I think that's what I was looking for

basically Instantiate(Resource.Load(“object path”))

so the code would be changed to something like that:

[System.Serializable]
public class CapturedPets
{
    public string PrefabName;
    public BaseClass Stats;
    public Level Level;
    public EnemyType Type;
    public EnemyRarity Rarity;
}

I think it's solved. Thank you.

[timber tide]

Names are fine too if you wanna do it that way, but always a chance that you've create a prefab of a similar name which is why I suggest adding some IDs in one of your components and do lookup by that.

Ah, if it's all in the same directory it probably would resolve itself

[visual hedge]

hmm... could also be int and that would indicate the exact name of my 3d models... they all have different int names like this:

nah, not an int per se, still string, but anyways...

[trail creek]

guys, i need some help, i can't move in my scene, if i press w it does not go forward

[visual hedge]

umm... which movement controller are you using?

[trail creek]

in scene

i can only move the view with the mouse

[visual hedge]

oh... use arrows? )

[trail creek]

they don't work too

it's like blocked

[tepid summit]

thats the pixel count

[visual hedge]

are there any gameobjects in the scene so you actually are liek dead sure it's not working? ) because I guess it might be tricky in an empty scene

[trail creek]

ye, there are some game objects, i just moved far and it's blocked now

[tepid summit]

reopen the project

[tepid summit]

ohh

no

the furhter you are from your game it moves slower i think

happens to me from time to time

[visual hedge]

doubleclick on the object to get close to it I think?

[trail creek]

oh, but i already tried to re-open my position is still the same

[trail creek]

ok

[tepid summit]

yeah

[trail creek]

ok

ty

sorry

[visual hedge]

works? )

[tepid summit]

works?

is that the speed?

[visual hedge]

Coin.transform.position = Vector3.MoveTowards(transform.position, Player.transform.position,0);
``` pretty sure this 0 is speed

[flat slate]

the last number

oh damn

hahaha

didnt know the last int is the speed

thanks

[visual hedge]

it should be float actually 😄

[flat slate]

my bad

[visual hedge]

or idk... look at this:

transform.position = Vector3.MoveTowards(transform.position, target, 15f * Time.deltaTime)

that's a part of the string I use to move some of my units around...

and animSpeed is a float

[flat slate]

yea

[visual hedge]

also I guess * Time.deltaTime is quite essential there

[flat slate]

still nothing is happening

[flat slate]

okay

[visual hedge]

if it's not working, sorry, can't help any further, no idea then

[flat slate]

okay

no problem thank u

[teal viper]

You're not really moving it. Only once after it's instantiated.

0.5 sec after

And incorrectly at that as well. TylerWin pointed that.

[split dragon]

Hi. I have a question about optimizing the script: I have texts that show the float value. They work in void Update every time, but if I add: "(if objectsLights[i].activeSelf)", will there be any difference in performance? If the 25th line is removed from the screenshot, will the performance be the same or will it differ? if I added that the text does not always change and does not load the system (according to my logic)

[visual hedge]

private Vector3 startposition;
private float animSpeed = 15f;
                while (MoveToPosition(startposition))
                {
                    yield return null;
                }
    private bool MoveToPosition(Vector3 target)
    {
        return target != (transform.position = Vector3.MoveTowards(transform.position, target, animSpeed * Time.deltaTime));
    }

Idk, that's what I use. Also in terms of IENumerator

[rare basin]

it doesn't make a difference in performance

unless you have 10000000 objectsLights

[flat slate]

ye thats what i want

[split dragon]

Thanks

[flat slate]

i want it to move to the player after its instantiated

[teal viper]

It probably would be different but not by a lot. Probably you wouldn't event notice the difference unless you scale the loop to some million iterations.

[vale karma]

my jump action is able to jump when im near the ground, i think the raycast is returning true too late

[teal viper]

Well, it doesn't. It moves once. Changes position once. One time. It doesn't keep on moving towards whatever you want it to move.

[flat slate]

oh okay

[faint trellis]

you need to put the MoveTowards in Update

[keen dew]

If you really want to optimize it, make it so that the text changes only when the value changes

[vale karma]

{
    int hits = Physics.OverlapSphereNonAlloc(transform.position, capCollider.radius, groundedResults, groundedLayers);
    return hits > 0;
}``` can this be written better? or am i missing something with this IsGround check?

[teal viper]

Maybe make a velocity check as I suggested yesterday.

*in addition to the grounded check

[vale karma]

thats a good idea

[flat slate]

how do i make the object to move till the player is reached?

[teal viper]

Move it every frame.

[vale karma]

is there a way to make isgrounded shoot down less than it is?

[flat slate]

how

[visual hedge]

at which point is void Start() exectuted after instantiating the object with the script that contains Start on it?

[teal viper]

However you like. There are many ways.

[flat slate]

for example a for loop?

[vale karma]

mostly with update, unless your using rigidbodies

[flat slate]

ye i know

[split dragon]

The values will change when the light object is turned on, that is, if you still need to leave?

[teal viper]

Does loop make it execute every frame?🤨
I suggest going through the beginner pathways on unity learn.

[rare basin]

then change the values only when its turned no

on

not constantly in Update()

[visual hedge]

please try to implement this code: private Vector3 startposition;
private float animSpeed = 15f;
while (MoveToPosition(startposition))
{
yield return null;
}
private bool MoveToPosition(Vector3 target)
{
return target != (transform.position = Vector3.MoveTowards(transform.position, target, animSpeed * Time.deltaTime));
}

[rare basin]

via events preferrably

[flat slate]

okay

[rare basin]

that won't work

due to floating point precision

[outer cobalt]

do you mean to make the place where the isgrounded is detected more down?

[flat slate]

thanks

[split dragon]

Ok. Thanks

[visual hedge]

well it works for me?

[rare basin]

doesnt mean its correct

[keen dew]

Well that sounds like a good spot to set the text then. No point in setting the texts every frame if they don't change every frame

[vale karma]

you could look into navmesh as well, its a part of enemy navigation it may help u

[visual hedge]

I mean what else would suggest it's incorrect?

[rare basin]

as i said, floating points

[teal viper]

Vector3 comparison makes an approximate comparison. Though, I agree that it might not work under certain conditions(not due to floating point error)

[visual hedge]

the coroutine stops and waits for object to reach it's destination then goes on

what's the problem?

[vale karma]

no more up, its returning true even when the player is in the air

its too leanient with the raycast rn

[outer cobalt]

what is worth looking into is creating a empty game object and naming that Ground Check, make a script to check for isGrounded where the empty game object is, thats how i do it in my game, easily changeable and scaleable for the future

[visual hedge]

I also got an alternative from some source 🙂

IEnumerator DropCoin()
{
    Vector3 position = transform.position;
    GameObject Coin = Instantiate(essenz1, position, Quaternion.identity);
    Coin.SetActive(true);
    yield return new WaitForSeconds(0.5f);

    // Define the speed at which the Coin moves towards the Player
    float speed = 5f;

    // Calculate the direction from the Coin's current position to the Player's position
    Vector3 direction = (Player.transform.position - Coin.transform.position).normalized;

    // Move the Coin towards the Player
    while (Vector3.Distance(Coin.transform.position, Player.transform.position) > 0.1f)
    {
        Coin.transform.position += direction * speed * Time.deltaTime;
        yield return null;
    }
    coin.essenz++;
}

if what works for me won't work for you. Maybee this will. Sorry, haven't tested this one

[rare basin]

from chatgpt?

[vale karma]

i feel like thats exactly what i got goin on already, but in the same script just using a method

i got an empty player object at the feet

[teal viper]

Preferably, give answers that promote learning, instead of spoon feeding.

[outer cobalt]

try moving it up

[outer cobalt]

real

[flat slate]

thanks i try it

[vale karma]

as i said it lol, im gonna multiply by 1.5? i think thats gonna work

[visual hedge]

well... I am learning myself and at some points I would be daaaamn grateful to get a ready solution and not just well, try this (abrakadabra for me) and then get back. But will note that, sorry if that's the problem

[rare basin]

that's not a good way to learn things

to get ready solutions for issues

[vale karma]

yea that was it, the empty was at the ground already,so i just multiplied it by 1.5 and it worked

[visual hedge]

I learn things in different ways )

[teal viper]

They would just be back with a similar problem soon. You should lead them to discover the correct solution themselves and gains some understanding in the process.

[rare basin]

okay, but don't force your way for the others then

[visual hedge]

I don't... daaayuuum... just wanted to help. And maybe learn myself something in the process

[rare basin]

and hope you did, to don't spoon feed people ;p

[visual hedge]

😄 ahahah 😄 for damn sure

sometimes some stupid problem holds back from doing big things. So IMO I would prefer the person to get stuck learning what's wrong with their huge gameManager instead of being stuck at coin not moving 🙂 Not arguing, just clarifying my standpoint )

[teal viper]

Game development(or any development really) is all about this small things. You can't use a walkaround for everything. And I really doubt you can implement something "big" when you can't even solve small issues.

[visual hedge]

true. But that's a bloody noob speaks in me I guess

[rare basin]

if you have huge gameManager, then something went wrong with your code architecture

small sidenote 😄

[flat slate]

bro doesnt work anyway

[rare basin]

Single-responsibility rule

[visual hedge]

wow... that's strange. Then it's up to pros to help here )

[flat slate]

okay

thanks anyway

[visual hedge]

ahaha 😄 Well... yeah... I just could not think of something epic enough 😄

[rare basin]

i once was revieving an intern and his job recruitment task, and he did entire game logic in a single script Game.cs with almost 4k lines

[teal viper]

Instead of copy pasting code, try to understand what your have and why it doesn't work.

[flat slate]

i do

[teal viper]

It's fine to ask about how things work and why they don't. Do make proper learning too though.

[flat slate]

yea

[dapper zenith]

I have a odd problem trying to get Cinemachine to work, ive used it in the past without problems but i cant seem to get it to work normally at the moment.

i set up a very basic player movement for a 2D game, WASD movement using just GetaxisRaw.

Cinemachine set up 'correctly' with MainCam having the CineBrain and Transform of Player in the Virtual Camera.

If i move around with WASD the Camera will do nothing, but if i drag the character around in the Editor the Camera Follows that... why wont it follow the Character when i move it in game..?

[teal viper]

Provide more details on your setup.

[dapper zenith]

Not sure what else to include its incredibly bare bones
