[polar acorn]

what

You can't just make up words

[swift crag]

you gave SceneName a value in the inspector for your Button component

[summer stump]

Don't you want to pass it via the button?

[swift crag]

My impression was that you wanted to be able to choose which scene to load over here, yes.

But if you just want to load a specific scene no matter what, this will work.

Your vocabulary is way off. That's going to make it hard for you to actually understand what people are saying.

[turbid robin]

well, i just want to use the same code for every button that loadscene

[polar acorn]

Yes

So make the scene a parameter of your function

Then you don't even need to have multiple instances of this component

[summer stump]

Seems like what you did is not what you want then

[turbid robin]

yeah i know, but the course that i follow (called school) is in italian and its just for ar. every code part is just left for us

[warped valve]

Hello, Can somebody help me, i need help, when i add a rigidbody and a capsule collider on my Player, if i rotate my player or move it, the "Y" Position will decrease and my player will get eat by the terrain, Do you know why ? or how stop it ?

[turbid robin]

why? i just put the scene that i want to load in the unity editor

[summer stump]

Because you could just have the buttons do that if you gave the LoadScene method a parameter

Yours works, but not the way you asked about earlier

[turbid robin]

oh ok

[calm dust]

im back down to 1 error

[turbid robin]

i think i need to watch a good tutorial of unity basic

[summer stump]

Let's hear it. Whatcha got

[summer stump]

Don't do youtube at least
Microsofts course, W3schools, tutorialpoint.

[turbid robin]

i will try

can i put a button here? is an ar scene

[slender nymph]

fix your spelling

[summer stump]

Do you have something called OnFootActions? I remember "onfoot"

[calm dust]

let me check

i have OnfootActions, which i changed it too, but its still not working

[polar acorn]

These are not the same tag

[summer stump]

A good reason to use CompareTag

[slender nymph]

and this is why we use CompareTag and not string equality

[storm imp]

same as what?

[summer stump]

As the tag of the object hit

[polar acorn]

Click the images, discord thumbnails cropped it poorly

[summer stump]

Look at the tag in the inspector, see if it looks off to you

[urban sluice]

Is there a way to make like an overall script that every other script can access?

[polar acorn]

https://gamedevbeginner.com/singletons-in-unity-the-right-way/

[storm imp]

is it that I have a capital i in site?

[summer stump]

Yes
NextSIte is a completely different thing that NextSite
The compiler will never "guess" or assume

[polar acorn]

Yes, your tag is NextSIte. Your code does not check if anything has the tag NextSIte

[summer stump]

Always use CompareTag instead of ==

[storm imp]

I'll have to look up what CompareTag is

[polar acorn]

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Component.CompareTag.html

[storm imp]

can I rename the tag or do I have to make a new one?

it works now thank you sooooooo much for all the help @summer stump @polar acorn

[summer stump]

Glad you got it working.
I believe you have to just create new tags, but I don't remember

[storm imp]

ok I just removed the wrong tag and made a new one

[calm dust]

ok, this is quite the stretch, but can anyone help me in a call, i think ill understand better if i can speak to someone

[slender nymph]

you are incredibly unlikely to get help via voice call here. if you need help with something then ask a specific question using #854851968446365696 as a guideline for what to provide when asking for help

[rare basin]

doubt anyone would help you via voice call

[calm dust]

yea, i thought so too

[summer stump]

Always ok to ask!

[calm dust]

i think i got somewhere

[summer stump]

I do recommend taking a break from this current project and going through a c# course, and then !learn before returning to it thougj

[calm dust]

but now there is a different pproblem which might be easier to fix

[shell sorrel]

think you can figure that one out reading the errror

[calm dust]

i dontknow what that means ( i know im stupid with this)

[slender nymph]

this is literally not a different problem. this is the same problem as before. fix your spelling

[calm dust]

ok\

[shell sorrel]

its saying you are trying to use something called onFoot on PlayerInput

but it does not exist

so either function does not exist, or your have it but the signature is wrong

[slender nymph]

make sure you pay attention to the intellisense suggestions when typing. i know your IDE is configured because you showed it was before. so let it autocomplete the correct type

[vague dirge]

Hi, I followed Brackey's tutorial to make my first chracter movement, and it starts like this float targetAngle = Mathf.Atan2(direction.x, direction.z)*Mathf.Rad2Deg + cam.eulerAngles.y; float angle = Mathf.SmoothDampAngle(transform.eulerAngles.y, targetAngle,ref turnsmooth, turntime); transform.rotation = Quaternion.Euler(groundnormal*angle); the thing is it's using transform.eulerAngles.y, and I'm makink a game where you can change gravity and walk on walms, thus the .y wouldn't be relevant, and I'm trying to make a generzalized wethod depending on my gravity axis instead of the y world axis. Any idea on how I could achieve that ?

[shell sorrel]

also no need to put yourself down, the first few weeks of learning to program does not come easy to most people

[slender nymph]

just use and change the local rotation instead of its world rotation

[vague dirge]

How can I do that please ?

but the eulerAngles method only accepts world axis as arguments

[slender nymph]

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Transform-localRotation.html

[shell sorrel]

dont use eulerAngles directly

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Quaternion.Euler.html

will take your euler value and make it into a Quaternion then you can shove that into localRotation

[vague dirge]

Ok I'll try that thank you 👍

[calm dust]

im so lost

i know onFoot is in PlayerInput

[shell sorrel]

also the other side of it https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Quaternion-eulerAngles.html

[slender nymph]

and what does intellisense show is in that class?

[calm dust]

oh

shit

ya i see

how do i put it in there

[summer stump]

What?

[calm dust]

sorry

that made no sense

how do i put onFoot into that class

[summer stump]

First, what does intellisense show

Autocomplete

[calm dust]

alot of stuff

too much to ss

[summer stump]

Look through it

Find the one that sounds right

[slender nymph]

if you start typing onfoot what do you see suggested

[calm dust]

nothing

[slender nymph]

note that you should be doing this on PlayerInput. (or whatever your player input class is actually called

[calm dust]

i am

[slender nymph]

did you go and do something silly like remove your on foot action from your input action asset?

[calm dust]

no, i dont think so

[slender nymph]

at this point you should go and learn how c# works. then go rewatch the tutorial because it seems like you are not understanding anything at all that you should be doing or what is being suggested

[shell sorrel]

did code gen for the inputs get turned off

[short hazel]

Jumping in now so it may have already been suggested, but did you name your asset PlayerInput? It's required for it to detect the correct class. Otherwise it gets Unity's built-in PlayerInput script, which definitely doesn't have an onFoot property

[slender nymph]

no they had it on. their issue has been just constant spelling mistakes and randomly guessing at how to fix them

and like 99% of it has just been capitalization. they had everything correct except capitaliziation before, but now they've gone and changed so much who even knows what they have right

[summer stump]

It is named Playerinput, last time they showed the asset

[short hazel]

Right. So the error they get here is because they pick the wrong class...

[calm dust]

hold on, i think i fixed it

well, you guys fixed it

ok, so there are no more errors, but my character wont move

[slender nymph]

show the code

[calm dust]

ok

all of it?

all 3 things?

[slender nymph]

all of the code relevant to moving it, yes

[calm dust]

ok

gimme a sec

[slender nymph]

and you have attached these objects to your player object in the scene?

[calm dust]

yes

[short hazel]

Seems like you just renamed class PlayerMotor, seeing the dotted outline around the name. Make sure you also rename the file, both must be identical

Example: class Sample in file Sample.cs

[slender nymph]

this is only true in 2021 and earlier

[short hazel]

They lifted the file name must match class name restriction?

[slender nymph]

sort of, yes. if you have only one MB in a file it will add that, otherwise if you have more than one MB in a file it will add the one that matches the file name or the first one it finds

[short hazel]

Anyway even if they did, the C# standard is still to have one type per file, with the file name identical to the class name, for organization purposes

[calm dust]

SPR2 was right

its moving now

[rare basin]

it's also mandatory in some 2022 versions

[calm dust]

thank you so much

[rare basin]

only for the newer 2022 versions and above

its not mandatory

[slender nymph]

right, i think it was added in one of the 2022.2 versions

[rare basin]

yea

[calm dust]

ok, so this one should be an easy fix, instead of my character going forward when i press w, it just gos straight up

[slender nymph]

you should be putting input.y in the z axis not the y axis of your moveDirection variable

forward is along the Z axis in unity

[calm dust]

ok

lemme try that

[calm dust]

so i put " moveDirection.z = input.z"?

[slender nymph]

no

because input does not have a Z axis. it only has an X and Y axis on account of it being a Vector2

[calm dust]

so, what do i do?

[slender nymph]

#💻┃code-beginner message

[stable crystal]

Spawning objects based off camera direction / mouse location

[calm dust]

im sorry, but i dont understand

its ok if you dont want toanswer

[slender nymph]

input.y goes in the Z axis of the moveDirection vector3

[calm dust]

what would that look like

would you klike a photo of my code

[slender nymph]

almost like this

literally just one letter off

[calm dust]

so "moveDirection.z = input.y;"

[slender nymph]

yes

[calm dust]

is that an extra line or just edit the existing one

[slender nymph]

edit the existing one unless you want to move upwards with forward input

[calm dust]

fair enough

[fierce sonnet]

I have a huge scale evolution simulation and I am currently using Ray cast for their vision. Are there any more efficient options or is Ray casting the best option, which requires the least processing power

[calm dust]

it worked, thank you so much

[summer stump]

Raycasting is extremely cheap

[wintry quarry]

You can use RaycastCommand to jobify your Raycasts

[opaque fox]

This helped, was able to find the correct distance.

However, now it endlessly loops the "Timer breached" statement after triggering two times, which causes endless chasing no matter the distance.

[frigid sequoia]

Can u repost the code?

[opaque fox]

 {
    // Wander();
     if (Vector3.Distance(transform.position, player.transform.position) < viewDist && !lookingAtPlayer)
     {
         Debug.Log("Player spotted");
         Debug.Log(agent.transform.position);
         Debug.Log(firstPos);
         transform.LookAt(player.transform.position);
         timer += Time.deltaTime;
         firstPos = player.transform.position;
         destSet = false;
        // lookingAtPlayer = true;
     } 
     else
     {
         Wander();
        // lookingAtPlayer = false;
     }

     if ((timer >= stopTimer) && !destSet)
     {
         Debug.Log("Timer breached, begin charge.");
         Debug.Log(agent.transform.position);
         Debug.Log(firstPos);
         lookingAtPlayer = true;
         agent.SetDestination(firstPos);
         agent.velocity = (player.transform.position - transform.position).normalized * chargeSpeed;
         // destSet = true;
         // timer = 0;
         // lookingAtPlayer = false;
         // destSet = true;
         Debug.Log("Position: " + transform.position + " // Target Position: " + firstPos + " // Distance:  " + Vector3.Distance(transform.position, firstPos));

     }

     if (Vector3.Distance(agent.transform.position, firstPos) < 0.02f)
     {
         Debug.Log("Reached player position");
         destSet = true;
         timer = 0;
         lookingAtPlayer = false;
       //  agent.ResetPath();
     }
 
 }```

i think what's happening is firstPos only gets updated once, so it keeps going no matter what because of the final if block only checking for the distance of the first spot firstPos is assigned to

The distance debug line you gave me correctly measures the distance between the AI and firstPos, but firstPos is only calculated once and never again

[frigid sequoia]

Half of the code is just commented out or is Debug; the if (timer >= stopTimer) && !desSet) seems to remain true cause the timer is never reset and the destination is probably reset each frame

[opaque fox]

sorry, my bad about the comments, i've been adding and removing lines

[frigid sequoia]

I though that was meant to happen, like it is getting a position where it spoted the player and moves there but it doesn't update to chase the player itself

[opaque fox]

Right

I kinda want the behavior to repeat

• See player
• Charge
• Stop once destination is reached
• Repeat

[frigid sequoia]

If you want the enemy to swap between behavoirus, I will heavily encourage to have each one on a different method, and check which one is meant to be using in the update

[opaque fox]

Fair

[frigid sequoia]

It would be much cleaner and you would spot mistakes way easier

[opaque fox]

Right

[frigid sequoia]

Also, you can have a debug variable that is just a string that tells you which state is currently being used

[craggy oxide]

public float jumpHeight; // This is currently set to 25.

void Update()
{

if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Space))
{
transform.Translate(jumpHeight * Time.deltaTime * Vector3.up);
}

}

so like

the jumping is really stuttery and not smooth whatsoever

and very buggy

the player character does have a rigidbody attached if you're wondering

what do I do to make the jumping smooth

[frigid sequoia]

You probably want to add force to the rigidBody instead of translating

[craggy oxide]

see i tried that, i dunno if i was just doing something wrong but it kinda broke the whole script, like the spacebar input wasn't being detected

ill rewrite it to be sure and send you the alternative code if it doesn't work still

private Rigidbody rb;

void Start()
{
rb = GetComponent<Rigidbody>();
}

public float jumpHeight; // This is currently set to 25.

void Update()
{
if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Space))
{
rb.AddForce(jumpHeight * Time.deltaTime * Vector3.up);
}
}

alright yeah it's doing the same thing again, the force just isn't being added whatsoever

as if the input isnt even detected

so, theres the alt code above, what do i do

[frigid sequoia]

I am pretty sure the input is being detected

Just that AddForce needs more force

Multplying forces by deltaTime usually doesn't do anything, cause it turns it into way to little force to change anything

Also, you proballbly want to use FoceMode Impulse

But that depends more of what kind of jump you want

[summer stump]

AddForce already has deltaTime as part of its calculation.
Multiplying by deltaTime DOES do something, it just makes the force miniscule so you have to make the force passed in massive to compensate and then it doesn't work consistently over frame rates (as Daleo described)

But yeah, Impulse mode is a good idea

[small mantle]

How can I easily make a better movement system. Something that can easily be done with if statements.

[summer stump]

However, one important thing, the rigidbody needs to be dynamic (not kinematic) for AddForce to work

[nocturne parcel]

That's a broad question

[small mantle]

2D platformer*

[summer stump]

I guess construct a vector with GetAxis and pass it directly into Translate...
Simple, but not great

[small mantle]

I am currently using rb.velocity. I was wondering how I can use AddForce that is less robotic.

[summer stump]

Just make a vector and pass that into AddForce I guess

See what daleo and I were saying above about how to use AddForce

With AddForce you would want to use GetAxisRaw instead of GetAxis, since AddForce is already kinda floaty

[small mantle]

I know, and am using that*

Is there a way to add a max force easily? I want the player to stop adding force at a certain point and stay at its max.

[frosty hound]

Clamp the magnitude of the rigidbody velocity

[small mantle]

I found an example online and they are doing this: rb.velocity = Vector2.ClampMagnitude(rb.velocity.magnitude, maxForceSpeed); Why is there an error?

[summer stump]

What is the error? something about ambiguity and ClampMagnitude not existing?

Oh, no it's because you clamp the vector, not the magnitude property

rb.velocity only, not rb.velocity.magnitude

[small mantle]

How can I target the x axis to be clamped? My y axis effects my jump, so it is making my jumps clamped as well.

[summer stump]

Hmmm, I would guess you have to just use Mathf.Clamp on the individual parts of the vector, and the plug them back in?

so like
Vector3 newVelocity = rb.velocity;
Mathf.Clamp(newVelocity.x, min, max)
rb.velocity = newVelocity;

or something

Phone coding sucks

oh, mathf.clamp returns the value

so that is wrong

[nocturne parcel]

Why are you clamping velocity anyways? It is already an instantaneous thing

[summer stump]

To have a maximum speed, as per Osteels suggestion

[small mantle]

I want my movement to stop going faster at some point that I can control*

[nocturne parcel]

You are already overriding the velocity to the given value, constantly. Clamping makes more sense for AddForce, no?

[summer stump]

They are using AddForce

[summer stump]

#💻┃code-beginner message

[nocturne parcel]

Oh, I see

[nocturne parcel]

It's cuz I saw this

[frail star]

I'm making a calendar in my unity app , Does anyone know how I can correctly line the days of the month up with the days of the week?

[summer stump]

Vector3 newVelocity = new Vector3(Mathf.Clamp(rb.velocity.x, min, max), rb.velocity.y, 0)
rb.velocity = newVelocity

I dunno, something like that

[small mantle]

I was just trying to figure out how to clamp magnitude

[summer stump]

And probably need to clamp z as well if it's 3d

[small mantle]

2D

[summer stump]

Then may as well set z velocity to 0 then haha

[nocturne parcel]

Either way, I still wouldn't change anything on velocity.
You could do something like AddForce(maxVelocity - rb.velocity).

This way, if you get to max velocity, you add 0 force

[small mantle]

No, its fine. I'll find another way to deal with the system. Thanks for the help!

[summer stump]

While that is way more elegant, they want the y velocity to be unclamped, and only x to be clamped

I'm sure there IS a way better way than what I did though haha

[frigid sequoia]

I mean, you probably should just set at what day of the day to start counting each month manually

[nocturne parcel]

Maybe MaxVelocity could be new(xAxisMaxVelocity, float.MaxValue).

This way the Y axis doesn't have a max value

[copper perch]

I am learning each keyword and function day by day in the Weapon script, and the UI Manager script.
I walk around with a print out of the weapon script, and the UIMnager script, and look at it while I am at work so it goes in my head.

[small mantle]

What is this ? called in C#?

[summer stump]

Depends on where it is placed

[small mantle]

(Mathf.Abs(targetSpeed) > 0.01f) ? acceleration : decceleration;```

[summer stump]

Ternary operator

that would be invalid syntax though

because it has to assign to something

variable = condition ? true assignment : false assignment

[cosmic dagger]

It's used in many places: ternary operator, null-conditional operator, null-coalesing operator, etc . . .

[frail star]

Could you give me an idea on how to do this?
here's my script to dynamically fill a calendrer with buttons as days of the month
https://pastebin.com/S6q1iMBY

[frigid sequoia]

Like, what is generating the squares of the day in the calendar and putting them in place?

[frigid sequoia]

This code mostly just checks the number of days in the month and generates a list out of it and manages some other stuff like the clock or what is highligted

But how are you turning that into an interface?

For what I see here you could take the day of the week the month should start for each one and add a bunch of empty containers before that as needed

[frail star]

Yes , parent object has a grid layout group

[cosmic dagger]

Unity only uses C#, your best bet is looking for JS tutorials online or a JS discord . . .

[frail star]

AS show in this question

[frigid sequoia]

I would add a method that just adds X amount of empty containers to the grid and set manually how many I need for each month; probably not the most efficient

You could calculate how many it needs by knowing the start day and the days of the previous month, but I don't think it is needed unless you want to overcommit to it

[cosmic dagger]

i do not know what PlayCanvas is or if that is related to Unity. You will have to search online for tutorials or materials. Are you new to Unity components? If so, check out !learn to get started with learning Unity . . .

I'm I've committed to it already.

[frigid sequoia]

Well then you could calculate automatically the offset needed for the next month by adding the base offset (which I think you have to take manually? not sure) and the number of days of the month and subtract seven for it until it is lesser than seven, that's the number of days the next month needs as offset

what is this supposed to show?

[abstract pelican]

that it's working and you don't know what's going on and you're advising bullshit.

[summer stump]

Using pictures instead of words makes things super confusing

[abstract pelican]

I asked you about the folder, you said it had nothing to do with it.

[summer stump]

Ah, more lashing out

They asked if it was an asmdef, but you sent random pictures and refused to answer anything

[rich adder]

because it wouldn't unelss it had assembly defintion inside, what doesn't ur brain understand

[calm dust]

tysm

navarone

[rich adder]

is working?

[abstract pelican]

Gosh you just don't know unity and advise some setting how to specify rider in settings:D

[rich adder]

aw I cant clown emoji they blocked me

boohoo

[summer stump]

<@&502884371011731486>

[abstract pelican]

What did I do? I said he was wrong.

[summer stump]

This is far from the first time they couldn't explain their issue and started lashing out at people

[frosty hound]

I'm not going to read through all this, but if you have it working then move on.

[rich adder]

my nephew acts up like too when they need a lil milk n cookies to fall asleep

[sour ruin]

hi. if you have a value, say a boolean that is dependent on the result of a raycast called every frame, is it better to continually update said value regardless of whether it has changed from the previous check or have a conditional along the lines of: if (variable != newValue) variable = newValue;

or is the difference negligable

[rich adder]

negligable

[sour ruin]

aight

thanks

also negligible for an animation parameter?

[simple sun]

ok i havent been in unity for quite some time now and chatgpt is very useless sometime
im making 2d game, trying to detect when an apple is being collided with

this is my snake and apple in inspector
https://pst.innomi.net/paste/czyjxxkse63g4d4rm7563xfs

the collision is not being detected

[rich adder]

you mean SetBool ?

[sour ruin]

yeah

[rich adder]

if you care to optimize it , best to use the string to hash

[sour ruin]

i gotchu king

[rich adder]

where is the question?

drop the gpt if you want to learn properly

[simple sun]

sorry lol, edited now

[rich adder]

so is log printing

[simple sun]

nop

[rich adder]

if you have a rigidbody you shoud not directly set the transforms

[simple sun]

apple does not have a rigidbody

only boxcollider2d

[rich adder]

wheres the movement script then

[simple sun]

the snake moves, not the apple in that sort of way

i dragged the snake around manually when the game was running, no physics detection

[rich adder]

youre moving the transforms it probably wont

[simple sun]

ive dragged gameobjects around in 3d before in the same way, and that detection worked perfectly

[rich adder]

doubt it and this is a different physics engine

and ur rigidbody is not even dynamic, its kinematic

dragging it arround wont give you any OnCollision

[simple sun]

i changed it to dynamic while the game was running and continued dragging it over the apple, still no detection

[rich adder]

ur moving the transforms 🤷‍♂️

[simple sun]

fairly certain that is fine, but ill try do it using rigidbody

[rich adder]

if you let go of it it might work if they are intesrsecting already and tries to push itself out, but if its dynamic

[rich adder]

its not "fine" lol the whole purpose of using a rigidbody is to move it according to physics methods included in component

[simple sun]

IM fairly certain its fine as ive done it in 3D
does not mean im correct, but im fairly certain

working on implementing proper way of moving right now anyway

[rich adder]

Like I already said, if the colliders are intersecting and tries to push itself out then you might have a collision message sure, doesn't mean it will be accurate

[sturdy drum]

Hello, I'm trying to make a grappling hook Metroid style, but the ray line will only go diagonally up right, even when my character is flipped and looking left. I think it's because my Player's Scale's are static and wont change no matter which direction I look, even though the grappling hook is programmed to make a diagonal up left line when I'm looking left. Is there a way to make your Scale go negative when turning left?

[rich adder]

if ur only flipping the sprite then your direction is still right

should rotate the player 180 on Y

[simple sun]

@rich adder well you were correct with the 2D engine, it does collide if i move using the Rigidbody
maybe its just different between Rigidbody and charactercontroller, as its a charactercontroller body ive moved in 3d before with no problem

[rich adder]

ah well character controller is different, its also a special collider, probably has more tolerance for transform movement
it doesnt send OnCollisionMessages tho

[sturdy drum]

That's true, I have it set as sprite.flipx. In game though, when I look left, Unity shows X as checked. Is that only applying for the sprite as well then and not the Player object itself?

[rich adder]

exactly its only the visuals

rotate 180 so your transform.right is always facing correct, much easier to work with rays n stuff like that

[sturdy drum]

so something like this?

if (dirX < 0f)
{
playerTransform.right = Quaternion.Euler(0, 180, 0) * playerTransform.right;
}

[rich adder]

no?

[sturdy drum]

hmm, ok. Is there a better method then?

[rich adder]

maybe? cs float hor = Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal"); if(hor > 0) { transform.localRotation = Quaternion.Euler(0, 0, 0); }else if (hor < 0) { transform.localRotation = Quaternion.Euler(0, 180, 0); }

[sturdy drum]

After some testing, the rotation itself works, but seems to override the Sprite flipping left, so it stays looking right

I've tried adding the sprite.flipX to the if statement, as well as before and after, but the results stay the same 😦

[rich adder]

if you used rotation why did you keep sprite flip still

[sturdy drum]

Does rotation of the object flip the sprite as well?

[rich adder]

yea

[sturdy drum]

you're a genius

thanks man lol

[fickle plume]

This is Unity server.

[sour ruin]

Is it possible for an animation event to specify an enum constant as a parameter to a function? It sort of looks like im passing the enum type as is (see reference images)

[teal viper]

No. You're just passing in the script asset. The closes you can get to an enum is passing an int.

[sour ruin]

ok thanks

[thorn kiln]

    public Rigidbody2D myRigidbody;
    public CircleCollider2D myCricleCollider;
    public float flapStrength;
    public LogicScript logic;
    public bool birdIsAlive = true;
    public GameObject gameOverScreen;```So, with this stuff, how do you determine what the... I wanted to say "green text", but apparently discords code formatting doesn't colour it like visual studio. Anyway, how do you determine when to use stuff like Rigidbody2D, CircleCollider2D, LogicScript, etc should be. I know they're components on the object, but can you not the transform properties when you just reference it as a game object?

    public void Start()
    {
        CR(1);
    }
    public void CR(int i)
    {
        CR(i++);
    }

Is my code good?

[modest dust]

If you plan to crash your editor then yes

You'll be calling CR with params of 1, then 1, then 2, 3, 4... it's a recursive loop which doesn't end.

[fringe plover]

[ivory bobcat]

Tail recursion can be avoided with loopscs public void Start() { for(int i = 1; true; ++i) {} }||although you'll still freeze indefinitely..||

[modest dust]

(nevermind, you'd be calling it with a param of 1 all the time)

[gaunt ice]

tail recursion will end because of stack overflow

[keen dew]

obvious shitpost is obvious

[gaunt ice]

sometime it is easier to spot out the problem

public struct TreeNode{
  TreeNode* parent;
  TreeNode* children[number];
}
dfs version of go to child:
int dfs(TreeNode* node){
  dfs(node->children[x]);
}

iterative version:
int traversal(){
  while(1){
    TreeNode*child=node->children[x];
  }
}

if you mis assign some child eg circular reference
recusive version will end but iterative will stuck
```ofc it is just one while loop so you may not see the different, but at least stack overflow can tell yousome pointer address is wrong

[thorn kiln]

Finally. We can figure out what the last number is.

For years we've wondered, now we'll have an answer

[teal viper]

Nah, it's gonna overflow after the max number that can be stored in an int.

[thorn kiln]

Damn

https://i.imgur.com/uwwDQaQ.png
Rewriting some of my UI for how I've got references linked with slots for when I decide to drag them upon each other with mouse/touch controls. Currently I use #2 here where each SlotUI has a reference to slot, this way when I drag a SlotUI onto another SlotUI I immediately know the reference of the slot they point to and similar to the Slot that I am currently hovering over (thanks to the event system).

Now, for #1, instead of directly referencing the slots, I could instead implement callbacks and resolve it through the managers (Inventory class) instead. This does seem like the more correct way to do it, but I would require mapping each Slot to each Slot UI by indices instead (I guess I can just couple by references similarly in a container)

So I guess the question is, should SlotUI have a reference to the slot it's representing, or should I have these references mapped via container on the managers?

I've rewritten all this stuff like 5 times already

looks like it's going to be a 6th

[teal viper]

Either is fine imho. Maybe using indices decouples the logic from presentation a bit better though.

[sleek notch]

Can someone please explain why it isn't working? Even if I did some boolean variable it wasn't working

and still not working. When I remove the second if, then it works. I don't know

[teal viper]

So does it work, or does it not?

[timber tide]

what's the warning

or underline

[sleek notch]

No warning. It works with only one if

[gaunt ice]

1. log if update runs
2. update wont run in inactive gameobject

[sleek notch]

I had it on my player with GameObject ui; and same results

[timber tide]

your first screenshot logic is off such that if it goes into the first it always goes into the second

probably what the warning is telling you

[sleek notch]

No. They are cool because I need to check if it is active and it works. It just tells that I can use .SetActive() but it is function and I'm not able to check if it is active

This is all my code for UI inventory and it is attached to Player

still doesn't work

[mortal bridge]

somethimg underlined hmm

[tawdry rock]

I need a little help. I want to make a hitbox system but my rays can't detect the trigger colliders. They marked as 'is trigger'. im using hit.collider.isTrigger in a if and in my physics settings i checked 'queries hit triggers' but still nothing happens.

[sleek notch]

No. They are cool because I need to check if it is active and it works. It just tells that I can use .SetActive() but it is function and I'm not able to check if it is active

[tawdry rock]

check the input in the update, call the function to open hide inventory

[mortal bridge]

my mannyou say

second ssbfixxed it

and you see undeeline in 2nd

no

just give these IDES some kredit please

theydeserve better

[tawdry rock]

also instead of .active i would use a bool and use the isInvOpen = !isInvOpen bool switch when tab being pressed

[sleek notch]

Input works without problem. If I check only input it works normally but I used boolean invCheck but it had same results

[mortal bridge]

look you have same keycode for two

uou see that

that maybe why 2 ifs dont work

[tawdry rock]

i would also cache it in awake as a singleton refference instead of using .Find so you can turn the gameobject off by default

[mortal bridge]

computer is confsed

[sleek notch]

Thanks I did isInvOpen = !isInvOpen and now it works. I have no idea why it wasn't working.

[tawdry rock]

because the function gets called in every frame, and as soon as you open it it hide it. it works.. just only for 1 frame

[modest sage]

Hello guys, can anybody help me with my problem? I am trying to make map preview with clickable objects. I have orthographic camera, canvas set to screen space - camera. In another (menu) canvas i render this orthographic camera. On picture with selected mousePosition object in scene, my mouse is on the red clickableObject :/

[fervent abyss]

Hi, im trying to AddListener to event in OculusSDKManager in Start() function, but in the Unity editor, I get a null reference exception error

[ivory bobcat]

Maybe show the actual error from the console window.

Either the instance hasn't been assigned yet and throwing null or the credentials hasn't been initialized yet.

[north kiln]

It's probably telling you to use activeSelf or activeInHierarchy, the non-obsolete functions.

[tawdry rock]

is the navmesh agent function as a collider? like the character controller?

[teal viper]

No. Navmesh agent doesn't respect physics. And is not considered as a collider by the physics system.

Although, it probably does account for colliders during active avoidance.

[tawdry rock]

thanks, so i became crazy soon. I can HIT triggers, but if i put them on navmeshagent i can NOT longer hit them even if i put a ignore raycast mask on the navmesh. also doesnt matter if i put the trigger as child or on the bone

like.. how do you make a hitbox system?.. if i change the triggers to colliders the navmesh agent gets crazy for obvious reasons so i can only use triggers but they suddenly wont work on them.

[teal viper]

It should hit them, though you should remember that moving colliders need a rigidbody to be updated by the physics system correctly.

[tawdry rock]

i have rigidbody component on the navmesh agent

do i have to put also on the trigger collider?

[teal viper]

It depends. Maybe explain your setup a bit better. What are the trigger colliders for?

[tepid summit]

want to send a ss of your heirarchy/ inspector

[tawdry rock]

for hitbox names to do apply different amount of damage based on distance and body part

[teal viper]

Does it hit the triggers when they are not moving?

[tawdry rock]

i will test that

[tawdry rock]

it seems like in stationary mode i can hit them.

i moving them by SetDestination and feeding the player position to them (in update, i know its expensive but i must). edit: even if i give them 1 sec delay to update the destionation in every 1 sec still not detecting the trigger.

[teal viper]

Moving "them"? The triggers?

[tawdry rock]

no, the agent itself. by them i just reffer for multipe agents

`
timertest -= Time.deltaTime;
if (timertest < 0)
{
ChasePlayer();
timertest = 1.0f;
}
} // endof Update

void ChasePlayer()
{
agent.SetDestination(Refferences.Instance.FPSC.transform.position);
}
`

[teal viper]

Okay, use debug rays to see if your raycasts are intersecting the triggers.

[tawdry rock]

i do, they do

[teal viper]

Pause the game when you're supposed to hit a trigger and check the scene view to see if it intersects any trigger.

Take a screenshot if you already do.

[tawdry rock]

this is when a trigger set on the world but on the agent it doesnt. ( will make a new ss)

nothing on the console

don't want to celebrate early, but after restarting unity it seems like its working, (maybe some prefab was not updated correctly?) i will need to test with animations and stuff. thanks for your time @teal viper for now.

never mind, i found it. if the navmesh agent's rigidbody gravity is set to true it won't detect the trigger even if the trigger doesnt fall off as it seen on the screenshot. if the gravity is unchecked it detects... anyone can explain this?

[quaint terrace]

I have gameObjects that have a script OnMouseDown() but I don't want them to be clickable when they are behind the grey image. How would i prevent the gameObjects from responding to clicks received while behind the grey image?

[timber tide]

allow it to block raycasts

[quaint terrace]

ive selected the grey image and unchecked the Raycast Target and Maskable, ive also check it but the items are still being selected through the image

[timber tide]

Actually you may be mixing two different raycasts which is a problem

one being the graphics raycaster and OnMouseDown() is a physics raycast query I think?

[hard sigil]

Hi, can someone tell me how do I disable monster to follow player (Script) when monster turn into a ragdoll?

[quaint terrace]

oh, so my script is stronger than the image raycast, so i would have to change my OnMouseDown?

[frosty hound]

You need to check the event system if there is something selected first before handling the results of the mouse down. They're two different raycast systems.

[frosty hound]

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Behaviour-enabled.html

Disable the script

[timber tide]

You could consider using IPointerHandler interfaces which use the event system.

buttons would work too

[quaint terrace]

so if i turn off the Box Collider the OnMouseDown stops working, theres a Layer Override Priority, but I think thats for if multiple box colliders are on top of one another

ha! i just put a box collider on the grey image and it fixed my issue -.- im stupid.

[timber tide]

technically the image already has a collider, but it does not block the physics raycast

[quaint terrace]

Thank you for the help, if i didnt talk it out here id probably would have started rewriting code ._.

[hard sigil]

Can you explain in details?

[quaint terrace]

im guessing you have a script that has the monster go towards the player. you can just add a condition && !ragdoll and set a bool when the monster goes ragdoll. this will stop the processing of movement when ragdoll .

[hard sigil]

Oh, whats the script? (I'm new)

[quaint terrace]

I dont know what script you have for your monster to follow your player currently.

[ruby python]

Hi all, I'm playing around with a sort of factory idea (not really a factory but some of the principles of are the same, crafting etc). I'm wondering what you guys think would be the best approach in terms of recipes/material input/compnent output would be? (ie, how to structure the whole thing etc.)

[rare basin]

i'd make recipes as a scriptable objects

where you have list of items needed for that item you want to craft

success craft chance (if you want that)

[ruby python]

So, the scriptable object would be the item you want to craft, and contain the recipe data in that?

[timber tide]

yeah, I'd stick the crafting requirements on the ItemSO itself

[rare basin]

scriptable object would be the recipe

not an actual item

but a recipe for that item

[ruby python]

Okay cool, thanks. Maybe this time I'll actually get my head around how to use SO's lol. (I know how to 'make' them etc. for some reason I always struggle/fall over when it comes to actually getting the data/using them. lol.)

[rare basin]

it's pretty straight forward

some basic tutorials about SO should help

basically it's just a data containers

just be careful and don't modify them (unless you know what you are doing)

[timber tide]

I was thinking having separate SOs for the recipe and item, but that just kinda makes more assets.

[rare basin]

i usually make properties for SO

with private set

[field: SerializeField] public int BaseHealth { get; private set; }

[timber tide]

an itemSO with an inner class for crafting as that crafting recipe should just be unique to it

[rare basin]

for example

[sacred harness]

why does slerp behave this way i have two objects that rotate in one axis x they have the rotation of [0,90] i find the average total/count then i use slerp to rotate to that target but it ends up as [45,67.5] the 67.5 is the average of [45,90] this works with rotatetowards but not slerp (im using atan2 to find the rotation of the objects)

[rare basin]

how do you use the slerp?

what's the last paremeter?

[sacred harness]

one

[rare basin]

show the slerp code

[sacred harness]

full script? or just the line

[rare basin]

just the slerp line

[sacred harness]

transform.rotation = Quaternion.Slerp(transform.rotation, Quaternion.Euler(averagerotation / (LIST.Count + 1), 90, 180),1);

[ruby python]

I'll be honest, one thing that I haven't been able to get my head around in terms of SO's (and please forgive me if this comes across as reeeeeeally ignorant), but what is the 'benefit' of SO's over Enums or just a basic script that holds the data? I've never seen/read/heard it explained so I don't really understand the benefit tbh.

[rare basin]

yea, that's not how you use lerp/slerp

[rare basin]

you're missing basic fundamentals what is a SO

it is not relevant to enums in any way

watch some SO tutorials first

and it will clarify most of your questions

[rare basin]

https://gamedevbeginner.com/the-right-way-to-lerp-in-unity-with-examples/

last paraemter is the interpolation point

you cannot just pass 1

[ruby python]

I honestly have, but it's not really been explained in the stuff I've watched/read. It's basically just a 'these are great' kind of thing if that makes sense?

[rare basin]

it's super designer friendly

[timber tide]

it's just a basic script of data like you said, but you can set these data scripts with different defaults that you can serialize onto your other objects

[rare basin]

more GC friendly

and just comfortable to work with

[timber tide]

1 data script can become multiple different variations. Good workflow utility

serializable in the editor

0.5 would resoult between

[sacred harness]

then why did you say it was wrong

[ruby python]

Okay, I know about the whole inheritence thing and variations. So for example.....in terms of crafting things, would this 'tree' be okay?

[rare basin]

because that is not how you use 3rd lerp parameter

transform.rotation = Quaternion.Euler(averagerotation / (LIST.Count + 1), 90, 180)

you could just do it like that

why did you do slerp

when you are not using it

[sacred harness]

because i was going to do it through a duration i just put 1 as a test

spawner is supposed to spawn a warning and a spear, once the warning animation is played, it sets the spears canMove to true, which then allows it to move towards the player. but it just won't accept my way of giving it a reference.
no matter what i do it wont give it the reference... even tho spear does have a reference when i check with debug.log

what is the difference between force and velocity

[burnt vapor]

Please pay attention the first time you ask this #💻┃code-beginner message

[swift crag]

didn't you ask this a day or two ago

[rich bluff]

velocity is your final direction + speed, after all the physics calculations, force is a vector that will be processed by physics and transformed into velocity

[languid spire]

force is what applies when someone pushes you, velocity is how much it hurts when you hit the ground

[wintry quarry]

The end result of a force is a change in your velocity. That's the only thing force does.

        LeanTween.scale(_forcefield, new Vector3(6125, 6125, 6125), 1f).setEase(LeanTweenType.easeOutQuart);
        base.Execute();
    }```

This is where execute is called:
```    private void RunStateMachine()
    {
        TitanState nextState = currentState?.RunCurrentState();

        if (nextState != null)
        {
            //Switch State
            RunNextState(nextState);
        }
    }


    private void RunNextState(TitanState nextState)
    {
        currentState = nextState;
        currentState.Execute();
    }```

[burnt vapor]

In the system? Are you talking out having a persistent storage?

[honest haven]

        {
            if (GameManager.instance.cratingItemsHeld[i] == "Wood" && GameManager.instance.numberOfCratingItems[i] >= 1)
            {

            {
                
            }
        }``` whats a clean way to do this. i need to check them all at once and a nested loop wont work as the index would be different each time. need them all in one if statement but not look so messy

i need to do somthing if they are all true

[burnt vapor]

Nothing in this code suggests spawning in a recursive manner, so I'm afraid you need to share some more code before anything can be fixed

[rich egret]

I have no idea what this concept is called 😂 But I want the user to save the game

[burnt vapor]

Consider using an array of string and iterating that, since you are doing the same action with the only difference being the item

[honest haven]

i need to do it at run time and the list grows

[burnt vapor]

If you're going to save passwords then look into hashing the passwords. Saving a password must be secure.

[burnt vapor]

As in different items are being checked?

[honest haven]

as in the value of the items change

[burnt vapor]

Perhaps make a system where you store a list of required items in a list, and then have a CheckIfPlayerHasItems() method that takes a unique identifier which then iterates the items

A list of strings is not going to care about your item count

You want to have a way of checking if those four items exist in the array, right?

In cratingItemsHeld

Another easy way would be using Linq's Any call. Make a method that takes the string and use Any to check if any item in your array is of that item name

[rare basin]

is this code running in Update?

put a debug.log in Execute() so you can track the stack trace

[rare basin]

so you can see what is calling it

[naive lion]

yeah seems to be coming from the statemachine itself running currentState.Execute(); multiple times

not really sure why this is not correctly set up tho

[rare basin]

can't tell without knowing your code architecture

and your state machine

but follow the stack trace

and debug it piece by piece

[frozen phoenix]

Hello, I wrote a movement code, but it gets stuck on the steps and stairs, I need a suggestion on how to solve the problem with a code, I couldn't find much content on youtubeda.

[ruby python]

Depending on your game, usually you would use a 'sloped' collider instead of a collider that conforms to the stairs.

[naive lion]

just did a check to ensure nextstate isnt currentstate but feels like a soft-patch, but it does work:

        {
            //Switch State
            RunNextState(nextState);
        }```

[queen adder]

how can I do so that when I press start I appear on the map and I can move around?

[rare basin]

well that's a logic check for me

[gaunt ice]

that means your run next state return itself

[frozen phoenix]

[rare basin]

make a player and add movement logic to it

weird question

[queen adder]

yes but HOW

[rare basin]

wdym how

[burnt vapor]

What I would maybe do is have a sphere cast spawn in front of you that is then moved down, to determine if you should move the player upwards, maybe. Requires some maths

[rare basin]

make a player prefab, instnatiate it on start (or just place it on the scene view)

and make movement logic

[sacred harness]

xaxup i did the timed thing which did work but its because its giving me smaller values which is ending up being closer to the end than the start like 0.1 or did i miss something in the video?

[rare basin]

what video?

[sacred harness]

in the link

[rare basin]

the lerp thing?

as i said last lerp parameter is the interpolation point

[sacred harness]

YES i know and its slerp

[rare basin]

0.5f - between 1st and 2nd param

doesnt matter

parameters stays the same

slerp is just mostly for rotations

[sacred harness]

which i am doing

[rare basin]

both are just finding a percentage position between two points

slerp just does it on a circle

[sacred harness]

then tell me why its not working 1 is giving me 60 between 0 and 90 but 0.1 is giving me 45

[rare basin]

well that's not possible

how did you implement it

if you have (0,90,1)

then it would return 90

[swift crag]

Show your code.

we can't guess what you wrote

[swift crag]

There is no "Slerp" method for floats. That only exists for Vector3s and Quaternions.

so I'm very curious about what you're doing..

[rare basin]

he's changing rotation iirc

[sacred harness]

i am doing it with quaternions

[rare basin]

he's modyfing transform.rotation

with Slerp()

but please show the code finally

[sacred harness]

https://pastebin.com/8x90BePj

[swift crag]

this is slerping your current rotation towards some target rotation by 0.01 every frame

it's going to rapidly approach Quaternion.Euler(averagerotation / (objectlist.Count + 1), 90, 180)

[sacred harness]

ok thats why i was confused i didnt realise it was every frame

[swift crag]

well yes, you did it in Update

[rare basin]

as i said you're using the last slerp parameter wrong

[swift crag]

If you want to steadily rotate towards a rotation, use Quaternion.RotateTowards

[rare basin]

or use DOTween

free library, much easier to understand

[sacred harness]

oh shit im stupid its also changing rotation so 0.1 is different everytime lol

[swift crag]

If you really want to use Slerp, read https://unity.huh.how/lerp/wrong-lerp

it explains the least-wrong way to use lerp methods with a varying start value

[sacred harness]

i was thinking 0.1 would be the same value every frame but since im also changing my rotation 10% would be a different value every time that went over my head

[swift crag]

If the start and end values were constant, then there would indeed be no change from frame to frame

[rare basin]

yup

[earnest atlas]

Should I serialize Spirte rendered component or I can get it from an object

What is prefered

[burnt vapor]

It would help if you showed your use case

[earnest atlas]

Im just getting sprite renderer with get component from an object

Im just asking what is better method

When all components are on same prefab

[sacred harness]

i got a question then why does 1 give me 60 degrees shouldnt they both be set to 45 first frame if it was 1? is it something to do with slerp or something else

[swift crag]

Quaternion.Slerp will return the second argument if the third argument is 1.

Check that the big Quaternion.Euler(...) expression is producing the rotation you think it is

so, assign it to a variable and log its euler angles

[earnest atlas]

If I create variable that stores Health, will it be a local health or a reference to that GameController health?

left I just want to save Instance.Health to variable for cleaner code.

right is GameController health implementation

[short hazel]

It will be a local copy, as it's a float (a value type). Value types are pass by value, not pass by reference like class

[earnest atlas]

Yeah as I though

[sacred harness]

yeah its giving me 45 both objects

[swift crag]

A quick way to check if something is a value type is to try to assign null to it

The compiler will yell at you if you assign to a value type

(assuming it's not a nullable value type, at least)

i think that makes the type name appear like This?

so you'd be able to tell that it's the case, at least :p

[earnest atlas]

I just wasnt sure if Health was considered some sort of method or variable

Delegades are an interesting thing. Tho looks like overcomplicated function.

public Func<float> HealthReference { get; } = () => GameController.Instance.Health;
}```

But it also returns a current propiety

so useless

[short hazel]

Health is a property. Think of them as a pair of methods that get and set a value, and the right one is automatically selected depending on what you're doing with the variable

[earnest atlas]

I somewhat understand, I just want something sort of pointer.

Well it will cut down 1 entire word in my code 😄

[short hazel]

It's not possible to have those with properties

[earnest atlas]

Yeah Im looking up and this is the only way.

Im already cutting down a lot by the fact that GameController is static singleton

https://hatebin.com/mpzkthjgyt

What do you thing about this.

[burnt vapor]

Why not use a property with just a getter?

public int Health => GameController.Instance.Health;

[buoyant rune]

can someone help me , this code is meant to make my enemy object move to the right constantly but it just doesnt move heres the code

[burnt vapor]

Please configure your !ide first.

[eternal falcon]

💡 IDE Configuration

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

Select one:

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

[earnest atlas]

Im updating health at that point too

Also that update calls events

That then deal with UI

[burnt vapor]

A property with a getter does not update health. Or is that not what you mean?

[buoyant rune]

what does that mean

[earnest atlas]

Thats not what I mean

[burnt vapor]

Your editor is not properly configured to work with Unity, so please configure it first before asking for help

[earnest atlas]

public float Health
{
    get => _health;
    set
    {
        _health = value;
        HealthChanged?.Invoke(value);
    }
}```

This is my health code

[short hazel]

I guess that shortens it. You could also do using static GameManager; so you would only have to do Instance.Health instead of GameManager.Instance.Health everywhere

[buoyant rune]

oh

[earnest atlas]

Ooooo interesting. Tho probably makes code a bit more confusing

Considered I will be getting some values out of thin air

[short hazel]

Yes, it's harder to see where something comes from

[earnest atlas]

Are pointers in C# used like ever?

[short hazel]

Yes there are supported (eg. int*), but in an unsafe context, you have to tell the compiler you know what you're doing, otherwise it errors

And at a higher level there's ref

[buoyant rune]

ive been coding my project without anything being configured , now that i have configured it do i have to go back to the scripts to do anything?

[burnt vapor]

Eh, not really unless you work with external code.

Most features from pointers can be done differently in c#

Like the ref keyword

[earnest atlas]

passing a reference to variable huh

[burnt vapor]

If it's configured you should have more help from your IDE. Maybe resend the code so I can see if it's configured

[burnt vapor]

Yes, but this is mostly for value times because reference types already work like that

[buoyant rune]

yep just did that

thanks

[burnt vapor]

And this is the most basic usage of pointers

[earnest atlas]

Welp I guess never going to deal with them

[burnt vapor]

Pointers are not so hard but I believe you do need to manage freeing the memory when you're done with them

[earnest atlas]

ref not working with my health rip

[short hazel]

No because pointers are only valid on value types, or inside a reference type with the fixed statement

The GC will still manage object lifetime

[burnt vapor]

I don't understand, do you want to pass a reference to the health?

[earnest atlas]

Somewhat similar

A little test

[burnt vapor]

That's kind of complex, maybe you should just call the original variable somehow

Maybe use events?

[earnest atlas]

I do use events

[burnt vapor]

If I see something like this I am thinking of just making an event to handle health changes

Anyway, I have never seen that error before

[earnest atlas]

What if I create a propiety with get and set where value I will use is Health from game Controller?

[short hazel]

Yeah you can't do that because a property cannot return by reference. You can't use ref-returns with them like public ref int Health { ... }, the compiler yells at you

[buoyant rune]

does this mean its configured nwo?

now

[short hazel]

You're better off just using the property as it's intended to be used, accessing it isn't expensive at all.

[earnest atlas]

private float Health
{
    get => GameController.Instance.Health;
    set => GameController.Instance.Health = value;
}```

Will this fly?

[burnt vapor]

You can check if it works by opening your code and checking your assembly, for example. Consider sending a full screen screenshot

[short hazel]

Yeah but that just adds another layer of indirection, it's not useful

[earnest atlas]

Yeah I think so too

Reading code later will be confusing

[buoyant rune]

thats how it looks now

[burnt vapor]

Looks good!

[buoyant rune]

alright thank you !

i actually cant believe my ide wasnt configured i was so confused why some stuff wasnt working properly lol

[short hazel]

I guess that works since I've just tested:

private float _health;
public ref float Health { get => ref _health; }

But the deal breaker is that you cannot have a set accessor, so it would not be possible for you to invoke the event when the value changes. Also not sure whether this kind of syntax is yet supported in Unity

[earnest atlas]

How to write 3 less words in entire code by writing 10 extra words

Also lack of setter makes this a dealbraker in my case

[cosmic dagger]

Why even do it that way?

[earnest atlas]

just shower thoughts

[cosmic dagger]

At that point, just use a reference type . . .

[noble summit]

why isnt it letting me put decimels in vector3

[burnt vapor]

Because it accepts a float type

Decimal type != float type

So explicitly cast it to a float

But know decimal types are bigger so you might lose data

[short hazel]

Elements of a Vector3 only accepts float. You cannot put a decimal or a double in it, for example

But I guess the issue is you've forgot to put the "f" at the end of the number to make it a float? 3.14f

[noble summit]

i meant decimal as in "."

[cosmic dagger]

Like a reactive value as a class: ReactiveValue<int>, Observable<T>, ObservableStruct<T>, etc . . .

[short hazel]

Yes decimal numbers, with the dot, definitely possible

[noble summit]

fixed it yes

[burnt vapor]

It does accept floating point numbers. You should check the type of your number

[short hazel]

Next time just post the error message so we don't have to guess

As well as the affected line of code

[noble summit]

okay

you cant put random.range in a vector3??

[cosmic dagger]

You can: it returns an int or a float. You have to use it for an axis . . .

[noble summit]

oh nevermind it was a different error

[rare basin]

the SystemError

[buoyant rune]

I need some help , i'll show my code. the enemy objet is the blue one and the player object is the red one, the enemy object is meant to walk right and once it detects a player or edge its meant to flip and walk the other direction to the same thing btu for some reason the player jus stays here stuck like this .

im literally following a tutorial so i have no clue where its going wrong

the person in the video has set animations , i havent but i dont think thats the problemn

[frosty hound]

If an animation is modifying the position, it will lock it in place.

Make sure you're animating a child object, not the root.

[buoyant rune]

I havent added animations eyt

yet

[buoyant rune]

so does that mean i have to add animations for this to fix? because I have no current animations

[rare basin]

no

ok but what are you even doing 😄

[burnt vapor]

I doubt they even know

[buoyant rune]

me or makrus?

Makrus is a troll or a kid (or both), as demonstrated in other channels. They do nothing but flooding the channels with irrelevant or not useful information

[rare basin]

alr good to know

[buoyant rune]

not sure how to do that could u help

someone mute this makrus guy

[rare basin]

do you know how to use Debug.Logs?

or a debugger?

[buoyant rune]

nope, all ive been doing is following a tutorial

[rare basin]

then i'd start from learning that

then debug your WalkDirection

you are constantly telling your player/enemy to move left then to move right

[earnest atlas]

You can also serialize you walk direction variable and see its values in the unity

Chat gpt say:
Regarding your issue with the gun not firing when pressing the fire button:

• If the gun is not firing when you press the fire button on the UI, there could be several potential reasons:
  1. The UI button might not be correctly configured to call the FireWeapon() method when pressed.
  2. The UI button might not be linked to the correct function in the Unity Inspector.
  3. There could be issues with the interaction between the UI button and the weapon firing logic in your game scripts.
  4. There might be errors or issues in the shooting logic within the Shoot() method of your weapon script.
• To troubleshoot this issue, you can:
  • Double-check the setup of your UI button and ensure it is correctly configured to call the FireWeapon() method.
  • Check for any error messages in the Unity Console when pressing the fire button to identify potential issues with the firing logic.
  • Debug the shooting logic in your Shoot() method to ensure it is functioning correctly when called from the FireWeapon() method.

[earnest atlas]

Or that was me not saving th prefab

[rare basin]

it has no difference

with or without field:

[earnest atlas]

will test it out

[rare basin]

you also don't need [field: SerializeField] for float type variables

do you know what [field: does?

[earnest atlas]

that is left over code I didnt cleanup

before that serialize was on RobotHealth

[timber tide]

huh

[rare basin]

huh what

[timber tide]

you serialize thebacking field

[rare basin]

you can do [SerializeField] just fine for float

[earnest atlas]

yeah for that I can

[rare basin]

thats what i said?

[buoyant rune]

so where here could i add serialize here

[short hazel]

Yeah if it's a field you don't need to tell it to target the field

[earnest atlas]

For this I need field

[buoyant rune]

for it stop doing this .

[rare basin]

i wasn't talking about the property

[short hazel]

The field is _robotHealth

[rare basin]

here

in both cases

[earnest atlas]

that serialize field was from propiety

[rare basin]

you dont need the field:

[earnest atlas]

I know it just leftover when serialize was on different thing

[rare basin]

alr

[earnest atlas]

what does field do btw

[wintry quarry]

Didn't we discuss this yesterday?

[rare basin]

so why are you using things without knowing what they do 😄

[burnt vapor]

It sets the attribute on the backing fields of a property. However, you put this on a field so it already applies this on a field. field: is therefore only useful for properties with a backing field.

[frigid sequoia]

As a general thougth, do you guys write documentation for your methods and variables (to show the tooltip in the inspector) or it generally takes more time than it saves?

[earnest atlas]

I was almost dead at that point. I remember it allowed me to serialize variable with private setter

[rare basin]

depends

[burnt vapor]

Only really useful when I write something for a consumer and it's a public variable. Otherwise there's no point unless I need to reason with something.

[frosty hound]

I don't. If you feel the need to document every function, you're over complicating your functions.

[earnest atlas]

we are just asked to comment code

[rare basin]

private int health;

//Deals damage
public void DealDamage(int damage)
{
   //substract damage from health
   health -= damage;
}

for instance this is completetly useless comments

[gaunt ice]

i see someone do that in javascript (because of loosely typing) but i think you dont need to do this in c#

[earnest atlas]

I mostly comment these things

[rare basin]

looks completely useless to me and could even be misleading

[burnt vapor]

If you name your variables properly then they should document themselves

[rare basin]

exactly what i wnated to say

[burnt vapor]

Problem with comments is that they can easily become outdated

[rare basin]

good code doesn't usually require comments

it reads itself

[burnt vapor]

And very often it's useless because people can read the code

[rare basin]

yes

[short hazel]

You do it if you make a library that's going to be used by someone else, and at this point you do it in the XML-comments /// <summary> and most editors will pick them up and display them as you type

[warm anvil]

Good morning.

I wasn't expecting this behavior/solution but here I am and I'm wondering why. There something obvious so I know?

Why does the text appear in front of the image if the hierarchy has the text lower than the image?

I arrived at this point when I had the ItemImage lower than the text and couldn't see the text - so I decided to flip them and that's when I didn't expect it to work

[earnest atlas]

We are just asked to comment code cause teacher will have to look at it later

[rare basin]

did your teacher request that?

[wintry quarry]

Do you know the difference between a field and a property?

[earnest atlas]

yes

[burnt vapor]

I can understand that you should do it as a learning point of view, because it makes you think about the code

[wintry quarry]

I recommend learning it.

[frigid sequoia]

Yeah, you are probably right, I was just wondering if once I go an revisit something after a while I will be able to figure out what it is doing without documentation

[rare basin]

because as i said, good, clean and well written code in most cases doesn't require comments

it reads itself

[earnest atlas]

I mean imagine having to mark like 20 different unity projects done by different people with different skill levels
