@teal viper

[flat slate]

i think the problem was that i copied the name of the coroutine from the code you sended in here and unity thought i want to play the old coroutine

i try it now

no its not

damn

[visual hedge]

dammn...:(

[teal viper]

The virtual camera and your character inspectors. A video of the issue might also be helpful.

[nimble mauve]

Hi, I've added a particle effect to my gun but when I shoot and turn around the particle effect doesn't move with the gun, why is that?

[flat slate]

can u start a coroutine inside a coroutine?

or will it be buggie?

[nimble mauve]

I want the particle effect to rotate with the gun

[flat slate]

is the particle effect a children of the gun?

[nimble mauve]

yes it is

[teal viper]

You can.

[flat slate]

okay

[rare basin]

[teal viper]

It depends on the particle system settings. Don't remember which setting exactly, but this is not the right channel for this question.

Check the particle system manual page.

[visual hedge]

but make sure to set some kind of stopper in the second coroutine if first one is running in Update. I learned this hard way 🙂 because if first one is run inside update method, it will call the second one each frame or so and well... that's no bueno 😄

[dapper zenith]

@teal viper Nevermind fixed the issue

[flat slate]

okay👍

[visual hedge]

@rare basin you still here?

anyways...
is this line of code? no idea how to call it... here equal to next one?

string name = 123a;
var go = Resources.Load<GameObject>("GameRes/Model/Character/" + name + "/Prefabs/model" + name);

So will it load that prefab here? Real file location: GameRes/Model/Character/123a/Prefabs/model123a.prefab ?

I guess I have to run this one and see 😄

[languid spire]

Did you not bother to read the Resouces.Load documentation?

[visual hedge]

no. I guess I have to

[languid spire]

good plan

[nimble mauve]

I am following a video and this part doens't make sense. How will this get activted if it's in an if statement?

I did the exact same thing and even had a log in it but nothing happened

is this video wrong?

[languid spire]

Shooting must be called from somewhere else because it's not called there

[nimble mauve]

that's exactly what I am saying

I legit spend 1 hour raging over this part and tried to make sense of it

[visual hedge]

oh, okay. so it will look explicitly in Assets/Resources + that string folder, not in just Assets/+what my question was. Okay okay, I see. Already helpful 🙂 Thanks

[nimble mauve]

but even if it's called in update, why would the if return true?

[languid spire]

not quite true. it will look in Assets/.../Resources/

[languid spire]

because the Raycast hit something

[visual hedge]

can I make my own static Load.GameRes class? 😄

[nimble mauve]

how does it know it hit something?

[languid spire]

A collider, does not have to be Mesh

Go and read the docs, that is what they are for

[arctic ether]

Hello so I have a problem. The player model keep dissapearing when when I press play.

[rare basin]

ok

[vale karma]

probably dont have deltatime added to some movement, its moving too fast

[arctic ether]

here it is

[teal viper]

Pause the game and check the scene view.

[vale karma]

do you have all the objects in the scene as a child objects?

[arctic ether]

oh it ended up there

[vale karma]

try it out now 😮

[teal viper]

Seems like something wrong with the animations.

[arctic ether]

i can't tell sorry very new 😅

[arctic ether]

maybe

[teal viper]

Not the animator, but the animations themselves. Animation clips. That or the rig.

[arctic ether]

Hmmmm i wonder, because in blende the animation are all good

[visual hedge]

I might be dumb, but that's first person camera? 🙂 And you expect it to be 3rd person camera?

[arctic ether]

is it?

[teal viper]

Well, then it must be the way you're exporting them or the rig

[vale karma]

i finally refactored all of my already refactored code into a state machine 😄

[visual hedge]

idk you tell me 😄 From what I saw it kiinda looked like it

would also kinda explain why you don't see animations )

[arctic ether]

i setup cinemachine to look at player like this

[rare basin]

you sure the audio source isn't looping?

[blazing kite]

The loop is not checked. Also this should have resulted in atleast hearing the footsteps in idle for me too.

[flat slate]

i want that just one coin spawns

yeah... maybe try not putting that camera into player's game object? I dunno what the problem is. I might be just dumb, but I really think it works like a 1st person camera in your case. Sorry if I'm misleading

[flat slate]

https://gdl.space/medajazoxa.cs

[visual hedge]

that's what I said 🙂 You ahve to put the stopper )

[flat slate]

you mean like waitforseconds(1)?

[arctic ether]

I think you might be right it's moving but in a weird way and far from camera

[visual hedge]

private bool actionStarted = false;
    //private IEnumerator YourSecondaryCoroutine()
    //{
        if (actionStarted)
        {
            yield break;
        }
        actionStarted = true;
        //your coooode
        actionStarted = false;
    //}

[visual hedge]

here ^

[flat slate]

thanks bro

[visual hedge]

I mean wrap your secondary coroutine with this one

[flat slate]

yeah

[flat slate]

how can i make such a code field in discord?

[graceful citrus]

my player consists of many colliders and rigidbodies. it all stems from one gameobject. if i use the following code:

    private void OnCollisionEnter(Collision collision)
    {
        if (collision.gameObject.CompareTag("Player"))
        {
            collision.transform.parent = transform;
        }
    }

it will not work. this is because it may be a different part of the player at any point. how would i use this to reference the gameobject it all stems from? pseudocode:

OnCollide { collision.hips.parent = transform}

[visual hedge]

tripple ` , then cs, and then tripple same in the end

[flat slate]

okay

thanks

[visual hedge]

what you did were not right )

lol

[flat slate]

lol

[visual hedge]

yeap, there you go

[flat slate]

ye

[teal viper]

forward the collision event to the root object and handle it there.

[graceful citrus]

wouldn't that mean putting a script on every single collider

[teal viper]

On every single rb.

[graceful citrus]

none of the player's colliders do not include a rigidbody

its a ragdoll

[teal viper]

that doesn't make sense. A ragdoll consistes of many rb+ colliders and some joints.

[visual hedge]

btw great to see your coins moving towards player )

[flat slate]

ye

[teal viper]

If you don't have rbs, your ragdoll probably doesn't work.

[visual hedge]

what was it that worked for you in the end?

[flat slate]

the problem was that the enemy was destroyed before the coroutine was ended

so the code were ignored

[graceful citrus]

it does have rbs

i just said, none of my colliders do not include a rigidbody

[visual hedge]

ow, okay

[graceful citrus]

they all have rigidbodies

[flat slate]

ye

but works now:)

[visual hedge]

show the result when you implement the stopper please

[teal viper]

wat? They don't include rbs, but they have rbs???

That's some contradictory statement.

[flat slate]

okay

1sec

[visual hedge]

loot gravitating to the player after mob is killed is suuuch a nice thing that lacks in many games 🙂 cudos for you on that one

[flat slate]

thanks man

thats it

but a bit laggie

[visual hedge]

niceee

awesome 🙂 Okay... I have to go )

[flat slate]

okay bye

[graceful citrus]

listen to the words

none of my colliders do not include a rigidbody

so there is 0 colliders

which have no rigidbodies

meaning all of them have rigidbodies

[rare basin]

what

[teal viper]

Okay, well that doesn't change my answer, does it?

The way you said it made me think that it was a typo or just poor wording. I see now that what you wanted to say is that all your colliders have an rb. Which, again, doesn't change what I said.

[earnest atlas]

        Instantiate(_bullet, _spawnPos, Quaternion.identity);
        _lastShotTime = Time.time;

I have spawn point inside a gun, what rotation is used to spawn the bullet? Considered its supposed to be 0,0

[rare basin]

Quaternion.identity meaning "no rotation"

[earnest atlas]

I see

[buoyant knot]

in math, identity normally means the “do nothing” operator

like 1 is identity under multiplication, 0 is identity under addition, and Quaternion.identity is identity for quaternion multiplication

[earnest atlas]

 void Start()
 {
     _rb = GetComponent<Rigidbody>();
     _rb.velocity = transform.forward * _bulletSpeed;
 }```
Why bullets fall to the ground?
This code runs on bullet spawn

[buoyant knot]

it’s a dynamic rigidbody

so it is affected by gravity

[rare basin]

gravity

always faster 🥺

[earnest atlas]

disabled it now to see what happens

[languid spire]

or gravy, always tastier

[earnest atlas]

Speed too slow?

[pastel sinew]

Hello, how can I attach a GameObject to another but have the attached objects transform orientation not change.

[earnest atlas]

Confusion

[languid spire]

parent constraint

[buoyant knot]

if it is the parent of other objects, it is because you WANT the children to have their transforms dependent on parent

[blazing kite]

anyone? 😭 I've also added some checks for the animator and rigidbody to only play sound when he is moving but still. In idle i can hear one StepL and then one StepR

[earnest atlas]

I forgor to add the script

[buoyant knot]

otherwise you would not parent

[earnest atlas]

what collider is best used for bullet?

[buoyant knot]

i’m not sure if I would use a collider

[pastel sinew]

I only want object B to follow object a around, so both have the same transform position but not have the same rotation if that makes sense. Object B should always stay facing up.

[earnest atlas]

Its mostly for trigger, but what should be used then?

[buoyant knot]

if your bullet is an instant beam, it needs no collider

[earnest atlas]

Im still deciding if instant beam

or bullet

[buoyant knot]

if it is actually slow, then probably sphere or capsule or rectangular prism

in continuous detection mode

[earnest atlas]

Whats difference between dinamyc and speculative are?

[buoyant knot]

that sounds like interpolation mode

which i don’t think is relevant here

[pastel sinew]

I want the red sphere to stay in the same position relative to the purple shere. I tried giving the GameObject thats child of ball and parent of Pointer a Rigidbody that only constrains it from rotating but that doesnt work.

[nimble hinge]

Yooo

Anybody here?

[steel smelt]

https://dontasktoask.com

[languid spire]

No, now what?

[rare basin]

sadly no

[alpine glen]

at the rate Unity staff are quitting, probably not 😛

[nimble hinge]

Nevermind

Was experiencing screen tearing

Just fixed it

[sweet osprey]

How can you convert an AddForce into 'addrelativeforce' without actually using 'addrelativeforce'?
my guess is to multiply the force by Transform.Forward but it gives me an error, and I'm not sure if it will result in what I want anyway:
Vector3 relativForce = new Vector3(myForce * transform.forward);

[nimble hinge]

Simple

[rocky canyon]

relativForce = myForce * transform.forward;

[nimble hinge]

you have rigidbody reference i suppose

[rocky canyon]

why the new()? ur not constructing a new vector.. ur already using a transform.forward vector

[nimble hinge]

Rigidbody.AddRelativeForce

[rocky canyon]

he said he doesnt wanna use AddRelativeForce

[nimble hinge]

Oh i noticed now

[rocky canyon]

ur creating a relative force. ur just doing it wrong

remove the new stuff

[sweet osprey]

It gives an error about not being able to use * operand on two vector3s

[rocky canyon]

force shouldnt be a vector (force as in ur variable force)

it should be a float or an int..

a vector * a float is totally possible

transform.forward * 10f;

[sweet osprey]

Ahh okay, I'll go from there. Thank ya!

[rocky canyon]

but u had the right mindset..

if u build a local vector like that. it'll still be a local force

[steel smelt]

@sweet osprey can build a TRS matrix with default scale and then multiply that by your vector if you dont want to multiply every component of your vector manually

[arctic ether]

Hello again, so i finally figure out about why the character keep flying away when hit play, but right now there's two problem. The first is that the model keep stuck under the map and can't move. Second, when I press A or D to move right or left instead of moving right or left, the model tilt right and left instead. Any help would be appreciated.

[wintry quarry]

without seeing code, who knows?

[arctic ether]

oh sorry

[earnest atlas]

How to access this? I cant serialize this component cause its not Text, TextMesh, TextMeshPro

[wintry quarry]

the correct type is TMP_Text

[earnest atlas]

_bulletCount.text = value.ToString(CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);

Is this correct way to change value there?

the To string part was done by compiler

[timid saffron]

any idea why my cubes colour is stuck at white? (I've waited 2 minutes to see maybe its just pure luck that it always chose white value but i dont think thats the case)

[wintry quarry]

yes

[wintry quarry]

Color is 0-1

so 2/3rds of all colors you generate with that Random.Range will be white

the other colors will be various transparent shades of gray, since you're applying the same value to each component of the color

[earnest atlas]

50 shades of gray cube

[timid saffron]

yes thats the case

[languid spire]

may I ask where you got the idea that a colour component could take a value between zero and three?

[timid saffron]

i dont know color codes in c sharp

im still looking it up

[languid spire]

still dont see 0 to 3 there though

[timid saffron]

well white is 255 gray is 122

so i thought 0-3 would be different shades of them

[languid spire]

so you want Color32 not Color

[timid saffron]

i dont know what color32 is to behonest

[summer stump]

0 to 3 is blaxk and slightly less black for color32

[steel smelt]

@timid saffron Yeah, that is correct. However this color representation is in bytes. Unity has a struct that matches this representation, it is Color32 as stated above.

0 to 3 will be hardly noticeable

[timid saffron]

i found some colour codes they are like #2df7f

[summer stump]

Color32 is colors with values from 0 to 255

[languid spire]

read the docs, you have been told this before

[timid saffron]

then "Color is 0-1" what does thismean?

[faint sluice]

Even then 0-3 would be very unnoticeable variants of black. a very transparent black

[steel smelt]

It is a normalized value. Imagine every component are divided by 255

[summer stump]

The docs would tell you

[steel smelt]

So "Color" is 0-1 components, where as "Color32" components are 0-255

[languid spire]

guess what, the docs even tell you how to work with that

[timid saffron]

Yea I acutllay found them from docs already

[languid spire]

do you see a pattern emerging here, your refusal to read docs is making your (and our) life more difficult than it need be

[timid saffron]

but not original unity docs

found them from another source

[languid spire]

original unity docs are the only ones that count

[wintry quarry]

ChatGPT?

[faint sluice]

Original ones would help the best

[timid saffron]

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3068915/set-color-through-color-code-in-c-sharp

no here

[wintry quarry]

it means the maximum value you should feed into new Color is 1, and the minimum is 0

2 or 3 or 1.67 are not valid

they will just be clamped to 1

[languid spire]

OMG

[wintry quarry]

This has nothing to do with Unity.

[summer stump]

That is not docs...

Read the docs

[wintry quarry]

System.Drawing.Color is not UnityEngine.Color

[faint sluice]

I don't know if i should laugh or cry lmao

[languid spire]

hey, @timid saffron Forget Unity, switch to Winforms

[faint sluice]

That's sooo much more needlessly complicated for normal use cases

[timid saffron]

guyz chill. one may not know where to look properly if heis a beginner

[faint sluice]

One has been told multiple times to refer unity docs

But one refuses

[timid saffron]

yeah they kinda scare me

[summer stump]

That's why you have been told over and over where to look

[frosty hound]

You're old enough to type two words into Google:

Being a beginner is not an excuse here.

[steel smelt]

@timid saffron Unity has its way to deal with colors. You want to learn how to manipulate them within unity since all of the unity components will use that system.

Those ways are a normalized representation of (red, green, blue, alpha), aka "Color" struct, and a bytes representation, following the same order but with 0 - 255 values.

You can use either. Say you wanted to create a pure red color, with the normalized system, you would have (1f, 0f, 0f, 1f), and with the bytes system, you'd have (255, 0, 0, 255).

From that, can you infer how you'd write pure green?

[timid saffron]

yeah i can

bytes: (0, 255, 0, 255) color(: 0f, 1f, 0f, 1f)

[summer stump]

Not bytes

Color32

[steel smelt]

What

What do you think color32 is made of

[summer stump]

It's important they know what type they would have to write

If they wrote public Bytes myColor it would not work
They need to write public Color32 myColor

[steel smelt]

@timid saffron Anyhow, yeah. As stated above by praetorblue IIRC, grays are colors where R == G == B. So just tune your RGB to even values and you'll end up with different grays.

[timid saffron]

👍

we are cool

done

and heres the bytes version for you

[languid spire]

rofl

[summer stump]

And now we see why I corrected them saying not byte

[timid saffron]

it works

[languid spire]

it's crap

[steel smelt]

@timid saffron Yeah, but there's redundant casting. You can declare red, green and blue as bytes instead of floats.

[languid spire]

of course it will byte can only be 0 thru 255

[steel smelt]

@languid spire This seems uncalled for. Why is everyone piling up on this guy?

[languid spire]

have you not been following his questions over the last few days?

[steel smelt]

@languid spire I have not. I rarely come

I wondered if there was a history. If there is, then nevermind me.

[faint sluice]

Ohh my bad then

[languid spire]

I have never met anyone who would just rather do random stuff than look at a docs page

If you are serious about being a game dev it's in your best interest

[autumn tusk]

importing a variable from the script ShotgunLaunch and for some reason unity hates this script in particular and refuses to identify this script

[polar acorn]

What does the error say

[autumn tusk]

it only has an issue with this script

every other script works fine

[polar acorn]

Do you have a class named ShotgunLaunch

[autumn tusk]

yeah, thats my script im trying to connect

[polar acorn]

Show it

[hexed terrace]

show this class

[autumn tusk]

ok found the error

basically, instead of the class being called "ShotgunLaunch", it was called "Player" instead

that fixed my issue

[polar acorn]

Yes, in order to use a class of a specific name that class must first exist

[swift crag]

C# doesn't care about filenames at all, mind you

Unity is the one that demands that your class and file names match when defining MonoBehaviour and ScriptableObject types

[rare basin]

depends on your unity version tho

not mandatory on the newest versions

[swift crag]

Yeah, 2023.x (i believe) no longer enforces this

[hexed terrace]

that seems like a recipe for mild annoyances

[swift crag]

i had a typo'd filename for a few months

[hexed terrace]

Beginners with NewBehaviour, NewBehaviour1 ... NewBehaviour10

[rare basin]

oh god please no

[languid spire]

Does it also allow multiple MonoBehaviours in the same script file?

[swift crag]

I don't know how it behaves when you do that

either it's going to go by name or it's just going to refuse to find anything

[languid spire]

that's the only reason for doing this

[swift crag]

You reference MonoScript assets, not C# classes

the serialized data doesn't care about the C# class name at all

strictly the asset

[rich adder]

that sounds like it would be horrid

[rare basin]

no it doesnt

i tested that

[languid spire]

nah, could be useful for small related classes

[rare basin]

could be usefull for inheritance tho

but i'd never use it

[swift crag]

allowing multiple MonoBehaviour classes per script file would require additional data

which would then make it so that renaming your classes breaks your serialized data

[rich adder]

doesnt MB need to live on a gameobject ? it would be like the siamese twins you cannot split 😮

[swift crag]

that's not really relevant here

[rich adder]

two MB in one file how's it not?

[swift crag]

ah, I guess you could interpret that as some weird chimera

that'd be particularly strange

[languid spire]

MB is a class not a script file, so making the script file name not equal the class name means they have fundamently changed something

[swift crag]

no, nothing has changed

go grab a scene file or prefab file and look at the data in a text editor

MonoBehaviour:
  m_ObjectHideFlags: 0
  m_CorrespondingSourceObject: {fileID: 0}
  m_PrefabInstance: {fileID: 0}
  m_PrefabAsset: {fileID: 0}
  m_GameObject: {fileID: 194374385375701585}
  m_Enabled: 1
  m_EditorHideFlags: 0
  m_Script: {fileID: 11500000, guid: 4234cd2c43978e041bbe9323c195c4bd, type: 3}

[languid spire]

I dont do 2023 until it's LTS

[swift crag]

this is how a component gets serialized

If you search your project for that GUID, you'll find the script asset

You can completely rename a script asset, as well as rename the class it contains, and nothing changes

Unity references assets, not C# classes

[languid spire]

and one script file is one asset, I get it

[swift crag]

This is not the case with [SerializeReference], mind you

references:
    version: 2
    RefIds:
    - rid: 8536178588865790522
      type: {class: SoundChoiceCriteria, ns: , asm: Assembly-CSharp}
      data:
        choice: {fileID: 11400000, guid: cbd98f35d855a41209ee551e8b8f5a34, type: 2}
        kind: 0

[languid spire]

oh dear, not gonna go into details but I can see several attack vectors right there

[swift crag]

i do wonder what happens if I switch these class names out

[languid spire]

I'm thinking more of the assembly name

[minor saddle]

Sorry for the noob queston but how can I modify this so that the answer that comes back is random

     buttonText.text = question.GetAnswer(i);




     }

[hexed terrace]

send a random number from whatever range you give it , google: unity random range

[rich adder]

additionally to what Carwash said, you want your max range to be answerButtons.Length for Range function

[minor saddle]

Good afternoon. I have a problem with the scenes in my game. It starts on the third screen, instead of the first. On my third screen, I added a button to return to the home menu, but it is not interactive. Does anyone know how I can solve it?

[swift crag]

you'll have to show us what this button is actually supposed to do

by showing us its inspector

[rich adder]

and do you have Event System object

[shell bane]

yes

[swift crag]

oh, it's completely unclickable

something is probably in front of it, then

[swift crag]

check that it exists when the problem is happening

not just before you launch the game

[rich adder]

Always Debug the event raycast system

[shell bane]

I have one on the third screen, if I add more than one I get an error in the console

[rich adder]

what is "the third screen"

[shell bane]

I will record better

[rich adder]

and if you do have Event System, observe it in Playmode it tells you exactly whats being hit , Eg the Background instead

[rich adder]

do this first #💻┃code-beginner message

[shell bane]

it shows me that the mouse is on the options screen, normal.

[rich adder]

ok but this wasnt the broken page no?

[shell bane]

this page work normally

the first one no

[rich adder]

so why are u debugging this one

[shell bane]

this one have the event sys

[rich adder]

ANY scene with canvas needs event system

Inspect the Event System while in playmode for the broken scene

if you dont have one then thats ur problem

[shell bane]

the console shows an error

[rich adder]

show error then

[shell bane]

Is this how it should be?

[rich adder]

they are all loaded together thats why

[shell bane]

how i solve this?

[rich adder]

why do you have all three scenes open

[shell bane]

i dont no, how i close?

[rich adder]

right click it, Unload

[shell bane]

ok

thx

[pastel dome]

man am i having a hard time

[rich adder]

are we supposed to guess what the problem is or wat

[pastel dome]

hol on

Quaternion modifiedRotation = Quaternion.Euler(0f, angleToEnemy + viewAxisXOffset, viewAxisYOffset) * targetRotation;

[dapper zenith]

How do i turn off these Mini Map things on the right.... i cant find an answer for whatever Version im using (the most recent)

[pastel dome]

that whether i put the viw axisyoffset in the first or last part it still rolls

instead of pitching

its 3rd person camera sorry

[earnest atlas]

https://hatebin.com/hrqvrkoqph

I added the spawnPointBullet and other things with serialized vector3 value. I wanted to while ingame check where should I move the object so effect spawns more outside of the gun and bullet more inside. But it doesnt matter what I do spawn pos is wierd.

[rich adder]

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/63437873/how-to-remove-vertical-minimap-in-visual-studio

[dapper zenith]

got it

ty

[rich adder]

"is weird" thats very descriptive

[earnest atlas]

well its like only moving on 3 corners of the screen

top right bottom and top left

[polar acorn]

Then it would seem the roll is coming from targetRotation. You're applying the given euler, then rotating it by some other Quaternion

[earnest atlas]

im gonna screenshot what I mean

[rich adder]

should explain what is supposed to do instead

no one can right off the bat know whats supposed to happen instead

[pastel dome]

gimme a min im a make a gif

[earnest atlas]

I decided this aint worth it

and just gonna make another object

[pastel dome]

the x target lock is working just not the y

[earnest atlas]

and use it

[carmine sierra]

How would I go about creating a boundary like this, ideally I’d want the mouse to lock once it reaches the boundary too

[rich adder]

probably need a custom cursor so you can clamp/lock

[carmine sierra]

just by changing the sprite in settings?

[pastel dome]

nvm mines workin

[rich adder]

no youd need an object the follows the mouse cursor and use that instead so it can be clamped and whatnot

[carmine sierra]

what do you mean by a custom cursor though

[rich adder]

a gameobject that follows the cursor, and has a sprite of a mouse cursor

this acts as your game cursor so it can be clamped/locked in

[swift crag]

you could create an edge collider out of a polygon. that'd let you just draw the shape directly, and you'd also be able to raycast against it to figure out if you're trying to stretch past the limit

[carmine sierra]

thanks

[swift crag]

that's just something that springs to mind, though. it might be awkward in practice..

I don't do much 2D stuff!

[queen adder]

Do you sometime use the parameter Out in methods?

[rich adder]

80% of the time

[queen adder]

Oh ok, I've never seen people using it in videos so I though there was some drawback I wasn't aware of

[rich adder]

generally if you need more than 1 value returned where the method return value isnt only thing you need

[queen adder]

Yeah it's very common to need that

[rich adder]

look at Raycast method is a great example

the method itself returns bool of success vs fail hitting collider

but the out gives you the actual hit data

I work in a typical pattern for certain items,

If(TryGetSumthing(out var somethingElse))

[sharp wyvern]

I try to avoid them. If I need multiple pieces of data returned, I'll create a struct, fill it, and return that.

[rich adder]

another good example
https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Component.TryGetComponent.html

[queen adder]

Why is that?

[sharp wyvern]

just to avoid confusion. I only use the out param for OPTIONALLY returned values, like the example navarone gave.

[rich adder]

struct or tuple is also valid return to avoid out

[pastel dome]

i dont understand this rolling

its supposed to just be going vertical and its rolling

[sharp wyvern]

hmm this vid is too small for me to read anything.

[rich adder]

rolling?

[pastel dome]

like if it were a plane

barrel roll

[rich adder]

look like like dashing forward

or are you talking about the camera?

[pastel dome]

nah thats zoom its supposed to do that

[rich adder]

perhaps you should specify wtf we're looking at

its supposed to just be going vertical and its rolling

what is "it"

[pastel dome]

when i press up on y axis its supposed to pitch up and down

[rich adder]

WHAT IS

[pastel dome]

its rolling

[rich adder]

sorry caps

[pastel dome]

the camera

[rich adder]

so say that jesus..

https://hastebin.com/share/pisayekene.java my script again

[summer stump]

I don't see any rolling in that video? I see it going up and down a little, which looks to be caused by the animation?

[pastel dome]

Quaternion modifiedRotation = Quaternion.Euler(0f, angleToEnemy + viewAxisXOffset, viewAxisYOffset) * targetRotation; this is the line i question

but regardless whether i put viewaxisyoffset in the first or 3rd spot it still rolls one way or the other

like its not that the rolling is bad its just on the wrong axis

[rich adder]

dont see how this is supposed to do anything vertical

[sharp wyvern]

Quaternion modifiedRotation = Quaternion.Euler(0f, angleToEnemy + viewAxisXOffset, viewAxisYOffset) * targetRotation; I dont see the reason for this part * targetRotation, perhaps you mean to use a "startingRotation" here?

or perhgaps just the curren rotation? transform.rotation

[pastel dome]

ya cameras are butt to figure out

[carmine sierra]

if anyone could help me in physics i would appreciate it

[pastel dome]

im almost done just been stuck for 3 days on that

[rich adder]

this would still kinda be crossposting 😛

[sharp wyvern]

nah i mean the channel since i already put it there

cant write hashtag on this keyboard though

[sharp wyvern]

ah! checking it out

[carmine sierra]

lol did you make that website

what are the chances

[rich adder]

its posted here many times

thats how often people dont know how to ask questions in a public forum

[pastel dome]

isnt that just like how i calculate the direction to the target but for angles

like i could use that with lookrotation

[carmine sierra]

is that a unique url though?

[sharp wyvern]

it does more than just calculate angles, it performs the rotation of the transform for you, at the speed specified, without overshooting. I'm not sure if it's good for your use-case, but I THINK it would be.@pastel dome

[rich adder]

not sure what you mean by that lol

its a copy of this https://solhsa.com/dontask.html

[pastel dome]

you mean instead of a fixed angle that i set before just use that and add 30 degrees to the pitch

[polar acorn]

Yes, like how discord.gg or facebook.com are unique urls. Websites have those so you can navigate to them

[pastel dome]

itll go opposite my enemy?

[polar acorn]

Hello.

Just upgraded unity to 2021(worse decision)
and recieved an error

Did they change the name, type or just a casual error

[pastel sinew]

How do I force my game to run in 16:9 when built? I need to capture footage of my game but I have a 21:9 monitor.

[rocky canyon]

lol, u cant judge the entire 2021 b/c of 1 error

i didnt get that error... /shrug

[nimble hinge]

No i hate it many reasons lol

[swift crag]

isn't this from the legacy advertisement package

[nimble hinge]

it crashes everytime

[nimble hinge]

Yeah i see "Advertisement legacy"

[rocky canyon]

well, it may not be the best version for ur PC

something going on w/ it

[nimble hinge]

Well, I removed it and im installing it again

[nimble hinge]

i mean

2020 never crashes for me

2021 is generally considered the best one haha.
At least since 2017

[nimble hinge]

and also i prefer old logo too lol

mouse input doesn't work

[rich adder]

you did it wrong

save the script (on the website)
then send link generated

[nimble hinge]

oh HELL no

I ain't setting up this shit

[polar acorn]

You could always just not run ads

[rich adder]

lol wtf

[prisma sail]

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

[nimble hinge]

It's a google play project

[polar acorn]

There we go now what is the actual question

[nimble hinge]

And im trying to see how it will benefit

[prisma sail]

mouse input doesnot' work

[nimble hinge]

besides its only rewarded ads to not ruin user experience

[carmine sierra]

what does it mean if all my vectors get underlined in red like this

[slender nymph]

are you missing a using directive?

[rich adder]

read the error ?

[prisma sail]

me?

no error

[nimble hinge]

How come serializefield does not highlight

and vectors do

[rich adder]

probably ambiguity'

cant spell for shit sory

[carmine sierra]

yeah it is

didn't check the console since didn't think that would be an error

[slender nymph]

remove the System.Numerics namespace

[carmine sierra]

lol

[rich adder]

you just hover over it , it tells you whats wrong

[prisma sail]

I don't have

[rich adder]

• fix usually

[carmine sierra]

why does systems.numerics keep getting added randomly

[summer stump]

They are talking to someone else

[carmine sierra]

what kind of joke is that

[rich adder]

IDE does it sometimes

[summer stump]

Because you hit enter when it suggests it

[prisma sail]

okay. You guys checked mei code?

[carmine sierra]

ohh

[rich adder]

usually happens when you paste

for me at least

[nimble hinge]

How come

[summer stump]

Remove deltaTime from your mouse input

[carmine sierra]

what does it mean if rl.hid failed to create a device

[polar acorn]

When people reply to a person, you can see the message they have replied to. Why, when seeing a reply to a different person than you, did you think they were talking to you

[nimble hinge]

can somebody help me, look at that

[rich adder]

means u disconnected something while engine was running

[prisma sail]

why would I remove deltatime

[carmine sierra]

like headphones? cause that happened

[rocky canyon]

b/c mouse delta's are already frame independent

[summer stump]

Because you never use deltaTime with a mouse delta

[rich adder]

that would be a device yes

[slender nymph]

because you blindly copied a tutorial that added it erroneously

[summer stump]

Also, might be fighting between transform and CharacterController? For the rotation issue

[glossy eagle]

Hi. One question, what is a normal value for Time.deltaTime...? Because idk why I feel like I am not getting a correct value...

[rich adder]

its varies, with FPS

[pastel dome]

this is why u add sensitivity

[rocky canyon]

mouseDelta's are distance the mouse travels / frame.. its already getting scaled

[summer stump]

Around .02 but it obviously goes all over the place

[rocky canyon]

yea, u can add a sensitivity modifier

but thas a constant..

its different than the deltaTime

[glossy eagle]

yeah...but is this normal...?????

[slender nymph]

yes because you have a very high framerate so deltaTime is very small

[glossy eagle]

but THAT small?

[rocky canyon]

thats an exponent

ya, pretty damn smal

[pastel dome]

how do u supposed making a game controller and mouse friendly without delta time xD

[rocky canyon]

.00000089 ish

[prisma sail]

why??

[rocky canyon]

its been already mentioned why

[slender nymph]

is this just straight up logging Time.deltaTime or is there some math happening?

[rich adder]

Mouse input is already doing that(frame rate independent)

[summer stump]

Google it
But my wording should have given you a hint
"Mouse delta"

[glossy eagle]

Debug.Log(Time.deltaTime);

[slender nymph]

well there you go. keep in mind that deltaTime is also scaled by the timeScale

[rocky canyon]

deltaTime is doing math constantly.. ur just debugging the result of deltaTime for (that) frame

[glossy eagle]

ohhhh okay that's the problem then. Thanks

[prisma sail]

Bro. It being there or not being there shouldn't have any effect on it. Nevertheless I did what you said and my mouse still does not work

[rocky canyon]

yea it definately does have an effect

it may not solve ur issue.. but it is a problem

remove it first.. and then fix the next problem

[summer stump]

I didn't say that was the issue. But it is an issue.

#💻┃code-beginner message

[carmine sierra]

can I detect when an object touches an empty game object (which has a transform component)

[pastel dome]

whats up you having input issues?

[verbal dome]

You can add a trigger collider to the empty

[rocky canyon]

if it has a collider sure

[prisma sail]

Bro everything is working except for the ducking mouse

[verbal dome]

And you also need a collider on the other object, and one of them must have a rigidbody

[carmine sierra]

oh okay cool thanks

[carmine sierra]

yep

[prisma sail]

yes

[prisma sail]

yes

[summer stump]

And I gave you a potential reason 🤷‍♂️

[pastel dome]

maybe its the value you're reading in the input system

[prisma sail]

Removing delta time didnt work bro

[verbal dome]

So did you remove * Time.deltaTime from the mouse input

[summer stump]

They're using old

[summer stump]

That was not my suggestion. As I said. Lmfao

#💻┃code-beginner message

But have you done ANY debugging?

[rocky canyon]

removing the deltaTime from the mouse input is regardless of ur error.. EVEN IF IT WORKED we'd still tell u to remove it

now after its removed u can find the REAL issue

[noble summit]

why is it when i add upwards force to an object it sometimes gets ragdolled in different directions even though ive done nothing to change other axis

[verbal dome]

@prisma sail Does playerTransform have an animator?

Or other components that might be modifying its rotation

[prisma sail]

of course it does

[verbal dome]

Tf you mean 'of course it does'

[rocky canyon]

does it touch anything on the way up?

[noble summit]

nope there is nothing

[prisma sail]

of course it has an animator

[verbal dome]

It might be overriding your player's rotation

[rocky canyon]

that was my guess.. it would hit something and send it off-course

[summer stump]

There is no "of course" here...
Many people don't have one

[verbal dome]

That's not obvious at all. Usually it's good to keep the animator on a child object

[summer stump]

Damn, like you don't even WANT help lmfao

[verbal dome]

The attitude is real

[summer stump]

I think the animator is a far more likely issue than what I said though (cc and transform fighting)
I should have though of that, but I didn't think they would have the animator on it

[noble summit]

it also looks like its constantly changing the z and x axis even though it isnt visually moving

[pastel dome]

@prisma sail still might not be the code just the settings or prefrences been a while since i fooled with old input system

[prisma sail]

that's how I do it bro

[rocky canyon]

whats teh setup? are there any child objects parented to the thing ur moving? like whats happening?

show some code/ screenshots etc

[summer stump]

So the answer was "no I don't" not "of course"

Maybe show the editor

Because they wanted to know if the animator was on the same object as the script you showed

[prisma sail]

okay

you want project file?

[summer stump]

NO!

Definitely no lol

[rocky canyon]

heck no, it'd probably drop my IQ just openning it

[pastel dome]

haha keep that stuff secret man

[summer stump]

Show a screenshot of the editor, with the object that has the script selected

[rocky canyon]

did you debug the value of your mouse?

    public float mouseX;
    private void Update()
    {
        mouseX = Input.GetAxis("Mouse X");
        Debug.Log(mouseX);
    }```
just to make sure ur getting good mouse input

[summer stump]

First step should be some debug.logs

[rocky canyon]

that'd be the first thing

[prisma sail]

of course I did everything is workingas they are supposed to

[verbal dome]

Except for the mouse..?

[summer stump]

Stop saying of course

[prisma sail]

yes

[noble summit]

im doing the begginer course on unity, its literally just a player object with rigidbody, boxcollider and script, the script is just when space pressed add impulse force vector3.up

[verbal dome]

Which is what was being asked

[rocky canyon]

if the numbers are changing the mouse input is good..

then u'd move on to ur movement code

[prisma sail]

they are bro

[rocky canyon]

but if u have an animator a good guess is the animator is overwritting the movement

[summer stump]

Alright, fuck this, i'm out lol
Won't give anyone what they ask for.
Getting snotty
Not worth it

[rocky canyon]

u can't move something in code if ur moving it with animations instead..

the thing u would do.. is move the parent in code.. and move the graphics (as animation) as a child..

that way ur code doesnt care about the animation.. and the animation doesnt care about the code

[prisma sail]

bro I offered you my project

you refused

It has everything

you could ask for

[pastel dome]

easy bud you gotta be humble if you're going to get help

[rocky canyon]

could u not make a compromise and try to figure it out by sending the relevant pieces of code.. back and forth and communicate?
no one has time to wait for u to upload. download a random project, open it up, and dig thru it looking for your problem..

[summer stump]

I asked for a screenshot

[rocky canyon]

and that ignores the fact that u think we just that trusting that it aint a virus or something?

[summer stump]

I do NOT want your fucking project lmfao
I'm on my phone lol

[verbal dome]

Show the character's inspector instead, and any components it has in its children

[rocky canyon]

can you show ur code and the inspector of the object ur moving?

[noble summit]

i just checked the course videos and it seems that the other axis are also changing so it might not be my fault

but here

[rocky canyon]

it could be yea

[carmine sierra]

for OnTriggerEnter2D(Collider2D other) can 'other' be replaced with the reference of a specific collider to only detect that collider?

[rocky canyon]

ur player is rotated 90 degree's on the Y did u know that/

[noble summit]

yeah so it faces the correct way its not affecting it

[rocky canyon]

not the issue tho, bc ur using Vector3.up

which is a world direction

so it should just go up

[noble summit]

what

[noble summit]

yeah

[rocky canyon]

mis-ping

[summer stump]

Sorry, wrong person

Nah, worse, I just thought it was the other guy finally showing a screenshot haha

what is that site for code sharing

I will give you relevant parts

other is a variable name, you cannot "replace" the value inside of it. You can compare it to another Collider2D though...

void OnTriggerEnter2D(Collider2D other)

      // ...

[rocky canyon]

ya, im still thinkin its an animator / code conflict

[noble summit]

at the start the numbers go crazy but its not actually moving, but once i start jumping it goes to -0.000 and sometimes changes by 0.001

[prisma sail]

no bro people have preferences

[prisma sail]

okay. I will come back to you in a sec

[polar acorn]

Then your preference is letting the animator drive rotation instead of code in which case there is no error, working as intended. Good day

[rocky canyon]

when u get the time can you show the animation clips ur using on the player?

if any of those clips change the transform of the player, thats why the code isn't moving it correctly

[prisma sail]

of course bro but they are just idle animations let me warn you.

they don't transform or translate

[rocky canyon]

then what do they do? most of the time idle animations do move the position.. up and down a bit

[queen adder]

anyone know if its ok to do this in the Update() function:

image.color = aColor;

Or should i be doing:

if(aColor != image.color) {
    image.color = aColor;
}

Is there any perf difference? Does image.color setter use a unamanged function call?

[rocky canyon]

you wouldnt perceive a difference in teh game..

if u set it like the first one.. its just setting it..
if u check if the color is different and then set it.. ur running a conditional..

so yea, it does more.. but i doubt it'd be a performance difference

[carmine sierra]

any chance I could send in like a page of code, I want advice on where it could be more efficient

[queen adder]

yeah but if image.color uses unmanaged function calls the marshalling and de-marshalling time has to be taken into account so you wouldn't want to call it every tick?

[rocky canyon]

[rocky canyon]

not sure, tbh.. the only thing i can say is try to run code as little as possible.. like if you want to change it. check then and then change it.. i wouldnt try to check it every tick..

but i dont think it matters, its probably very very minor difference

[prisma sail]

not always bro

[rocky canyon]

someone else would have to chime in..

[queen adder]

Its hard to tell is SetVerticiesDirty() more expensive than doing that if condition check

[rocky canyon]

i said most of the time.. which implies not every time

[queen adder]

It looks like it is :\

[rocky canyon]

why u being so argumentative?

[rocky canyon]

do you know how to use the profiler?

[queen adder]

yep

[rocky canyon]

you might be able to gain a peek in there

and see if theres a big difference

[pastel dome]

it moves without the mouse?

[noble summit]

why is my project running 9 fps i have 3 objects and 2 scripts

[queen adder]

Ok good point

[summer stump]

Take a look at the profiler

[noble summit]

where is that

[summer stump]

A single script on a single object could make it freeze

[pastel dome]

ya thats what i mean i dont think your animations are locked to root motion then?

[verbal dome]

Bro, that's something you should've said before

[noble summit]

doesnt say how to open on mac though

[prisma sail]

of course bro

[prisma sail]

bro I did

[rocky canyon]

he was too busy being abrasive

[noble summit]

nvm i found it

[prisma sail]

let me scroll up and find the message

[carmine sierra]

whats wrong with my referencing. it says weaponfired is never used

[verbal dome]

You are changing it, but not using it anywhere

[pastel dome]

you have to say using mouse or something for old input

[noble summit]

most of it is (others) how tf am i supposed to know what others is

[rocky canyon]

sometimes u can get frame drops when ur window is minimized (and the rest of the editor is exposed/drawing) when u maximize the frames tend to go up.. but i wouldn't think that'd be a difference like u mention.. 9fps is really bad. somethings going on

[summer stump]

Nah bro, like bro OF COURSE they are owed time and effort while being impolite. Bro

[carmine sierra]

it wouldn't affect the reference's original value? it is referencing a bool in another script named weaponfire

[rocky canyon]

it would be something you written most likely..

try a restart and see if it speeds up

[noble summit]

in profiler its just rendering and others

[noble summit]

i did a bit ago

[rocky canyon]

you have to expand it out a bit

you'll see ur scripts in there

[prisma sail]

I found it bro

[verbal dome]

Booleans are value types, not reference types.
So when you say weaponFired = weaponFire.weaponFired it creates a copy of weaponFire.weaponFired, not a reference to it

It's a different bool now

[noble summit]

wdym

[carmine sierra]

so what could i save the data type as

ive seen the data type be saved as the name of the script but i dont get that

[verbal dome]

Well, you could just always do weaponFire.weaponFired

[carmine sierra]

your right

[rocky canyon]

when u click a frame spike or something in the CPU part, you'll see the Player Loop/ Editor Loop etc.. u can see if any of teh scripts you wrote are taking a weirdly long time to run

Time ms

[verbal dome]

Alternatively you could make a getter property in your class:cs private bool weaponFired => weaponFire.weaponFired; So it fetches the value from the weaponFire component every time you say weaponFired
But it's not necessary @carmine sierra

[verbal dome]

Not sure what that is, maybe you got confused

I strongly recommend doing some starter C# courses so you get a decent understanding on how variables and well, everything works

[rocky canyon]

ya, not sure what most of that is.. but those are some big numbers.. ngl

[verbal dome]

That might be VSync

[noble summit]

tf is "vsync"

[rocky canyon]

vertical sync.. its a feature on ur computer/monitor that tries to sync the frame rate w/ the monitors refresh rate..

so u dont get screen tearing

[noble summit]

oh

so how do i fix it

[rocky canyon]

i have mine turned off.. so not sure how it affects unity or nething

[rare basin]

you're playing video games and you dont know what is a vsync?

[verbal dome]

Well, check if it's even on, for starters

[rocky canyon]

you can google and find out how to turn it on/ off cuz idk where it even is ngl

[verbal dome]

Even if they don't know, google exists

[rare basin]

yup

[noble summit]

where do i check if vsync is on

[rare basin]

again, google

[noble summit]

i hate google so much

[verbal dome]

Bing

DuckDuckGo

Whatever

[noble summit]

yeah

[rocky canyon]

he has a mac if i read correctly..

[rare basin]

then you picked wrong thing to learn

[rocky canyon]

do mac's use vsync?

[summer stump]

Gonna be a rough programming journey if you won't search thingd

[short hazel]

Are those animation transitions? lmfaooo

[verbal dome]

Abstract mecanim art

[rocky canyon]

^ most all coder's live w/ a window of Google open in their periphial vision 😄

[rare basin]

no way

[summer stump]

A... phone picture of them too?

[rocky canyon]

ya, thats fkn insane.. thats what i thought it was..

[verbal dome]

Through an aquarium, it seems

[rocky canyon]

and he wanted to send you that project @summer stump 😄

[rare basin]

with broken phone camera

[summer stump]

Yeah, let me open that up, my samsung s8 should be able to do that

[rocky canyon]

theres no way thats his animator.. not enough clips in the world for that kind of transitional madness

vsynk count is on every V blank

[carmine sierra]

i dont get how to send the inline code

[rocky canyon]

and i asked for the animation clip not the animator.. i don't care how many animations there are.. i was just wondering if any of them were modifying the position of the player character

[verbal dome]

Use that

not ' use the `

~

[verbal dome]

Nah it all depends

My tilde is a different key

[summer stump]

But yeah, that may be somewhere else

[carmine sierra]

it won't detect the collision

i even debugged to let me know wont debug

[rocky canyon]

is it still a tilde if its not above another character?

[carmine sierra]

gravity is meant to turn on when it passes the trigger collider

[summer stump]

Huh, I am not sure

[rocky canyon]

doesnt matter ;D now im peeping this #💻┃code-beginner message

is the boolean true? did u check the collision w/o the boolean its nested under? could that be it?

[noble summit]

so what do i make my vsync to make my fps higher

[carmine sierra]

ill start the boolean as true and then let you know the result

oh nah it's not true

[rocky canyon]

vsync is like a limiter.. theres nothing to do w/ it to make ur frames higher.. but if u disable it.. then it wont limit anything.. so ur frames will run as fast as they can

[carmine sierra]

it starts without gravity as intended just doesn't turn it on when intended

[verbal dome]

Set vsyncCount to 0

[rocky canyon]

im not entirely sure it even is Vsync (as the issue) but i also don't know what else it would be either ^ there ya go this guy knows

[noble summit]

"dont sync" ?

[rocky canyon]

Try Application.targetFrameRate = -1.

https://forum.unity.com/threads/how-to-deactivate-vsync.370942/ @noble summit

[verbal dome]

Are you ok?

[short hazel]

If you have nothing to contribute, please don't post anything

[noble summit]

i turned it off and now my framerate is a solid 6-7

[verbal dome]

Did you change targetFrameRate like spawn suggested

[prisma sail]

Bro the guy asked for it

[noble summit]

i will now

[short hazel]

<@&502884371011731486> Trolling, shitposting

This may be the worst photo of a screen I've ever seen

[rocky canyon]

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/QualitySettings-vSyncCount.html

[noble summit]

Application.targetFrameRate = -1 where do i put this though

[summer stump]

Who?

Who asked for an incomprehensible image showing nothing?

[prisma sail]

Bro this man with purple name asked for it

[verbal dome]

The guy, bro.

[rocky canyon]

that post said to put it in ur Awake() function

a script thats in the scene ofc

[summer stump]

They did not

[steel smelt]

he's a troll, time to stop feeding

[short hazel]

Clearly

[noble summit]

where do i find this

[rocky canyon]

you mean the Awake()?

[prisma sail]

Bro scroll up he asked for animation clip

[noble summit]

yh

[frosty hound]

If you're going to actually show something useful, show something useful. Otherwise, be quiet and stop posting.

[summer stump]

And that is not an animation clip

[rocky canyon]

i asked for an animation clip that ur using as the idle for ur player.. u havent posted that.. and you havent posted anything thats even readible..

[rocky canyon]

you'd put it in a script that you have in ur game...

could be any script.

[noble summit]

oh ok

[verbal dome]

The recent screenshot does look like keyframes in the animation window
But still wasn't asked for lol
Or was it?

[polar acorn]

I think I might use this instead of my previous go-to snarky response to these idiots instead of this one

[rocky canyon]

as long as that object is in the scene. that code will run when u start the game

[noble summit]

yooooo nice the framerate went up by 2!!

[verbal dome]

Man people have such attitude today

[rocky canyon]

it was way up top, b/c before I knew his Gamepad and Keyboard was working but not his mouse, some of us was under the impression it could be teh animator overwritting the translations.. but i think we're past that now

[verbal dome]

Like wtf

[summer stump]

If it looks LIKE something, but you can't tell, then it is abstract art 😂

[rocky canyon]

ya, im not sure tbh.. if it were me i'd do a full restart (the entire pc) and check again.. if it was still bad frames i would try making a new project to test an empty scene and see if that had bad frame rates.. and then i'd probably use that information + the profiler screenshot u took earlier and try to ask some more / research what might be the issue

• if a restart fixes it - good
• if the new project fixes it - probably some bad code/ bad assets in that project
• if the new project also has bad frames - it might be Unity in general (that particular version) or maybe some settings on ur pc..
  point being, id try to isolate the issue

[noble summit]

alright im too tired so ill go to sleep and try tommorow, thank you for the help

[rocky canyon]

yea np, sorry couldn't get it worked out.. but atleast tomorrow u'll be fresh and ready

[night sparrow]

Hey, Is there any better way of doing this raycast for a gun, No bullets have been made at the moment!

void RayCastForEnemy()
    {
        RaycastHit hit;
        if (Physics.Raycast(transform.parent.position, transform.parent.forward, out hit, 1 << LayerMask.NameToLayer("Enemy")))
        {
            try
            {
                Debug.Log("Hit a enemy");
                Rigidbody rb = hit.transform.GetComponent<Rigidbody>();
                rb.constraints = RigidbodyConstraints.None;
                rb.AddForce(transform.parent.transform.forward * 500);
            }
            catch { }
        }
    }```

I ask this as sometimes well 50% - 75% the time it doesnt even register me hitting the enemy even close up

[verbal dome]

LayerMask.GetMask instead of that 1 << ...

Not that there's a big difference

[pastel dome]

theres different raycasts andd make sure its not hitting player first

[short hazel]

If you pass a layer mask, you also need to pass a distance. Here you're passing the mask as the distance

[pastel dome]

sphere cast

[verbal dome]

Also, no need for GetComponent, you can just do hit.collider.attachedRigidbody

I would also just null check instead of try-catch

[steel smelt]

oh wow

[night sparrow]

alright thanks @verbal dome

[night sparrow]

So i need to pass a distance too?

[short hazel]

Yes

[carmine sierra]

this block of code means that if the gameobject touches spawnCollider, and the weapon has been fired, it would change the rigidbody's gravityscale to the variable gravityscale right?#

[verbal dome]

Ah good catch, that's a classic

[carmine sierra]

i just want to make sure it's correct

[night sparrow]

alright thanks so much ima work on it and try to fix the issues and make it better

[rocky canyon]

affirm

it would change w/e rigidbody you have assigned as rb yea

[verbal dome]

What SPR said is the real issue, what I said were just minor improvements

[night sparrow]

Alright thanks, I will work on what SPR said and then implement the improvements

[carmine sierra]

so any ideas why it is not logging it?

"passed through spawn"

[rocky canyon]

in actuallity it just detects a collider/rb entering the trigger.. in ur method you don't use the Collider2D spawnCollider in that block.. so it isn't relevant.. but ya

you have to have a rigidbody for it to detect

[carmine sierra]

on spawncolliders object?

[rocky canyon]

on one of the two..

either the thing w/ the trigger.. or the thing entering the trigger

[rare basin]

is OnTriggerEnter2D even called? did you debug it?

[carmine sierra]

doesn't it get called automatically

[dull arch]

How to i get my crouch to not be permeant

[rocky canyon]

Debugs for the win! ^ i would def put debugs everywehre

[rare basin]

it does under certain conditions

[rich adder]

permanent ?

[rocky canyon]

you have to write code to uncrouch it
