rocky canyon
#

gotta offsetem

glacial coral
#

how?

rocky canyon
#

iono, are you sure its identical to the tutorial?

#

did you perhaps miss any clicks within the editor it might have made.. etc

glacial coral
#

the only thing I've changed is the tile images. But they are 36x36, same as video.

#

I made them in photopea

carmine sierra
#

Does anyone have any pointers on how I can try and fix this

rocky canyon
#

you know what block of code is responsible for all tha?

rich adder
glacial coral
carmine sierra
rocky canyon
#

i dont get what ur issue is exactly, what is the video showing?

rich adder
carmine sierra
#

but I want it to start moving again when I go back into the range

#

if you get it

rich adder
#

use a bool then instead of OnMouseDrag which isnt releable

carmine sierra
#

so I thought it would work as im using an if statement within onmousedrag

rich adder
#

use Update

carmine sierra
#

cause i also have onmouseup and down

rocky canyon
#

ya, i would just run two functions in the update, and swap between the two w/ a boolean triggered like nav said

rich adder
#

if its in range the follows, otherwise no but its still "following"

#

until you let go

rocky canyon
#

that way, when u go back in range it'll still be updating the position as long as u havent released the mouse

carmine sierra
carmine sierra
rocky canyon
#

nested ifs 😄

rich adder
#

isFollowingMouse/isHeldDown
isInRange

#

bam

#

done

rocky canyon
#

yup.

carmine sierra
#

dont exactly get how I could differentiate the isinrange and held down bool though

#

how would ishelddown set to true?

#

ohh okay

#

i get it now mb

rocky canyon
#

when you click onto the slingshot

#

:}

carmine sierra
#

thanks ill try it

rocky canyon
#

if its pressed then u check again if its in range to track.. else dont track

carmine sierra
#

Doesn't work

#

Same result i mean

rich adder
carmine sierra
#

and set to false using onmouseup

rich adder
#

dont use that..

#

that works on colliders still

carmine sierra
#

what do you mean?

rich adder
#

wait hold on nvm

#

Note that OnMouseUp is called even if the mouse is not over the same Collider as the mouse has been pressed down on. For button-like behavior see: OnMouseUpAsButton.

carmine sierra
#

yeah that'

#

s the intention

#

i don't need the mouse to be released on the collider

#

i think i found the issue

rocky canyon
carmine sierra
#

YES

#

i found it

#

thanks for your help

rich adder
rocky canyon
#

i juuust got done like hardcoding this kind of behaviour

#

using a focused object and all that 🤣🤦‍♂️

rich adder
#

lol isnt this basically the Event Trigger?

rocky canyon
#

yea buts its 3d + UI objects

rich adder
#

but you can do the same with Event Trigger 😭

rocky canyon
#

i use that too

#

on other parts like the submenu

rich adder
#

ohh was just curious what the benefit was there since they both can raycast on3D cols

rocky canyon
#

like here shortly this walkie talkie should become like a 3d radial menu that also has events they fire off

#

but i went and tied in the mouse behaviour w/ the selection part of it for now

rich adder
rich adder
rocky canyon
#

i just have no reason to fire it off yet

image.png
#

im designin for mobile friendly.. so its got me all mixed up w/ inputs

carmine sierra
rocky canyon
#

i thought coding it out myself would help kinda keep me grounded

rich adder
#

yeah mobile is challenging

#

*good mobile controls

rocky canyon
#

it should be updating thruought the period it is or isnt in range

rich adder
#

yeah it was supposed to be all in the same update if statement

carmine sierra
rocky canyon
#

well do it all the time

#

if you havent released the mouse yet it should be updating

#

when u get back into range it should already know the position it needs to go to

carmine sierra
#

yeah i changed it to that and it works now

rocky canyon
#

u dont have to constantly set the position of the sling shot to the mouse position but, u should be updating it anyway since ur actively shooting the slingshot

Am I dumb? Like where is my knockbackValue becoming 0?

image.png image.png
eternal needle
polar acorn
eternal needle
#

0 * 100 is still 0

cosmic dagger
#

are you passing in 0? bc that will result in 0 . . .

slender bridge
frigid sequoia
#

Am I forgetting basic math? Isn't 10/100*100= 10?

#

Is cause it is calculating it as a int?

eternal needle
#

Look at the type you are using

#

Int / int = int. Not float

frigid sequoia
#

I though it would try to cast the result to a float, since the method requieres a float

eternal needle
#

Cast 0 to a float = 0 still

#

Its not like it remembers that there was a 0.1

slender bridge
#

totalDamageTaken / 100f * DamageToKnockBackblahblahblah

cosmic dagger
#

totalDamageTaken or 100 need to be a float. the integer division will result in 0 . . .

eternal needle
#

When you debug in the future, remember to log the entire calculation instead of just one part. No need to assume what the values are, because of cases like this

frigid sequoia
#

So... just one of the elements been declared as a float will result on a float as output?

slender bridge
#

test it yourself

cosmic dagger
umbral marsh
#

is object pooling straight up better than invoke/destroy? are there scenarios where it's not worth?

rich adder
#

I think you mean Instantiate

umbral marsh
#

oh yes that

cosmic dagger
umbral marsh
#

cool thx

eternal needle
#

Like a rigidbody projectile for example, if you just add it to a pool then now you have to make sure it doesnt have any velocity/torque from a previous usage.

umbral marsh
#

that is exactly what im doing 😵‍💫

rich adder
#

its worth the extra legwork imo

#

same as writing the physics functions with nonalloc vs the regular ones

#

I'm making some scriptable objects and was wondering if there was a way to add stuff to the inspector like dividers or sections

rich adder
teal viper
#

Or a custom editor/inspector.

rich adder
#

def for dividers n stuff yeah

limpid wren
#

Custom inspector may be a bit much, I just want to be able to split the attributes by category

rich adder
dire tartan
#

if i have a camera and i want it to follow the player but only to rotate on the x axis how would i do that?

wintry quarry
#

Or better yet use Cinemachine

dire tartan
#

my mistake i meant a security camera object

#

i want the x and y to stay the same but it should only rotate on the z axis

wintry quarry
dire tartan
#

the way its setup is a bit odd

#

but the little half sphere rotates and the camera folllows it

So, I have come pretty far in the last few days.
I have found all the scripts responsible for the firing the:

  1. Weapon.
  2. UIManager.
  3. PlayerManager.
  4. WeaponSwitcher.
    I added comments in the UI manager, Weapon switcher, Weapon, and Player Manager scripts to learn it better.
    I organized the UIManager script.

i think this is the right spot to ask this question but anyone know why i have the following error, I have been following a yt tutorial and i cant understand this,,, error CS0246: The type or namespace name 'InventoryItem' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

image.png
frosty hound
#

You have no type InventoryItem

#

Likely didn't follow the part in the tutorial where they made it.

brisk escarp
#

i have it in the hyrachy

#

frosty hound
#

That's irrelevant. Types are made with code.

brisk escarp
#

this is the script the yt vid had

north kiln
#

!ide

eternal falconBOT
brisk escarp
#

i have that already

#

and this is the yt script

image.png
north kiln
#

Your ide is not configured

craggy oxide
# 

public GameObject player;
public TextMeshProUGUI coinsText;
private int coinAmount = 0;
private int maxCoins = 7;

    // Update is called once per frame
    void OnCollisionEnter(Collision collision) 
    {
    if (collision.gameObject == player)
    {
    Destroy(gameObject);
    coinAmount += 1;
    coinsText.SetText("Coins:" + coinAmount + "/" + maxCoins);
    }
    
    }

So my logic for collecting coins has an obvious bug.

The script is applied to multiple separate coins so the coin amount reverts to 0 every time the script is triggered, meaning that instead of saying "1/7 coins, 2/7 coins, etc.." it says "1/7 coins, 1/7 coins, 1/7 coins"

How do I rewrite this to fix this bug?

solemn summit
#

The coin amount should be stored elsewhere, not on each coin

brisk escarp
minor patio
#

yeah coin amount would need to be a player asset

Until your IDE underlines errors in red and gives full autocomplete it remains unconfigured

Ngl im in the same boat as him with the IDE, i got the unity package in VS, i set VS in unity, i got VS package installed and updated and still dont got that

some kind of problem: I've got 8 features each with an increment button to raise its score from a pool of featureXP. Problem being if the total amount of featureXP is enough the increment happens successive times until featureXP is no longer enough to raise a feature's score. Method for comedic effect:
https://i.imgur.com/3rSzXx6.png

#

Curious if anyone can suggest an edit so that featureXP usage is limited to once per button-mash

// In Player Script

public TextMeshProUGUI coinsText;

 void OnCollisionEnter(Collision collision) 
    {
    int coinAmount = playerController.coinAmount;

    if (collision.gameObject == player)
    {
    Destroy(gameObject);
    coinAmount += 1;
    coinsText.SetText("Coins:" + coinAmount + "/" + maxCoins);
    }
    
    }

int coinAmount = playerController.coinAmount - "Object reference not set to instance of an object"
How do I fix this?

minor patio
#

...but that's not the issue
the issue is my pool of featureXP is being exhausted instead of stepping the score once

winged raft
#

I presume it's attached to your "player" gameobject so just get it off of that in void Start()

playerController = player.GetComponent<PlayerController>();
craggy oxide
#

ooh alr
for some reason VS Code didn't pick up on the error to begin with so I thought it just automatically got it

#

thanks

minor patio
#

never assume anything is automatic in coding, Rhys atwhatcost

solemn summit
minor patio
#

the code looks fine, indeed; but when the solution is running I get an artifact where if I raise a score of 4 it jumps to 6 - it depends on the total amound of featureXP available from character selections

#

I get the impression its because the if statement encompassing the body of code is technically in effect until rep.featureXP is no longer enough to afford another increment of the score

in hlsl (or for compute shaders in general), I'm having trouble understanding the usage of the X and Y threads
The default code for a compute shader is as follows:

[numthreads(8,8,1)]
void CSMain (uint3 id : SV_DispatchThreadID)
{
    // TODO: insert actual code here!

    Result[id.xy] = float4(id.x & id.y, (id.x & 15)/15.0, (id.y & 15)/15.0, 0.0);
}
#

I'm assuming Result is the array for the texture, but why is "id.xy" used?

#

Most articles online use only the X thread for simplicity but I can't wrap my head around using X and Y

rich adder
#

why are you replying to someone in an unrelated conversation 🤔

lavish gate
#

I have 12 prefabs in my scene that all have the same script attached to them (somewhat irrelevant). I have an event in the script that tells the scene managers and what not that the game is over. but you cannot have a prefab reference something in the scene, whats a good way around this?

Consider making the box kinematic

rigid valve
#

no I want the box to move plyer

summer stump
rigid valve
#

still its having shackky movements and also its not carrying the player when I am standing

#

it drops the player

summer stump
#

Yes, kinematic will help resolve that

#

Kinematic meaning it does not react to forces (like the players gravity when on top and mass when blocking it)

#

You can't use velocity though, after changing it

rigid valve
languid spire
#

Did you parent the player to the box?

summer stump
rigid valve
rigid valve
languid spire
#

might be best to use a parent constraint which you can enable/disable

languid spire
# rigid valve nope

if you want to move the box and have the player move with it they will need some kind of relationship

The method

rigid valve
rigid valve
summer stump
rich adder
#

keep in mind that parenting will work but the player should also kinematic when on the platform

rigid valve
#

should I parent it from hierchy or the code???

languid spire
#

in the code, then unparent when the player leaves the box

rigid valve
#

but if i parent the box will player be able to move freely on the box thinkies

languid spire
#

yes

rigid valve
#

let me try this rq

languid spire
#

then you use localposition to move the player

rigid valve
#

i will write all this in box script right? not the player

languid spire
#

no, player script

rigid valve
languid spire
#

well the player knows when he lands on/gets off the box right?

rigid valve
#

no I have raycast only yo check if the player is grounded

languid spire
#

so you need to add that first

rigid valve
#

here i just need to add layermask to check if we are on box right?

image.png
rich adder
#

no you would need to distinguish you're somehow even on the box

languid spire
#

if your box has a collider why not use OnCollisionEnter

rich adder
#

same issue

#

they still need a way to detect it is actually a moving box to parent to

lavish gate
rich adder
rigid valve
languid spire
rich adder
#

ray is best bet ,esp if you want accurate way to detect when off

lavish gate
languid spire
rigid valve
#

why this simple mech is so confusing lol 😭

rich adder
#

i told you earlier too lookup this whole process

#

you stil need to turn player to kinematic when on platform, otherwise parenting wont keep dynamic from getting twitched off

languid spire
rigid valve
#

🤔

rich adder
#

no one said you can't you just dont have a Raycast hit param
How would the raycast know you wanted moving platform instead of ground without raycasthit

languid spire
#

because you have different outcomes depending on what you have hit, your code will be a mess

rigid valve
rich adder
#

or prob easier to make a another ray that only checks moving plats layer

rigid valve
rich adder
#

you still need to check collider with a tag or something
eg
if(raycast.collider.CompareTag("movingplat"))

lavish gate
#

Apex keep doing what you are doing right now but in future id recommend making a flow chart of how you want your code to run, i made this earlier because i wanted to write a losing method with a countdown for my game.

I have a simple compute shader where all it does is assign the X thread id to an int array (basically just incrementing a number)

#pragma kernel CSMain

struct IncrementTest 
{
    int number;
};

RWStructuredBuffer<IncrementTest> increment;

[numthreads(10,1,1)]
void CSMain (uint3 id : SV_DispatchThreadID)
{
    IncrementTest num = increment[id.x];
    num = id.x;
    increment[id.x] = num;
}
ivory bobcat

#

however I'm getting an error that Kernel at index (0) is invalid

ivory bobcat
potent nymph
#

here's the c# code

  private void CubeGrid()
    {
        IncrementTest[] data = new IncrementTest[100];

        int size = sizeof(int);
        ComputeBuffer testBuffer = new ComputeBuffer(data.Length, size);
        testBuffer.SetData(data);
        int kernelID = computeShader.FindKernel("CSMain");
        computeShader.SetBuffer(kernelID, "increment", testBuffer);
        computeShader.Dispatch(kernelID, data.Length / 10, 1, 1);

        testBuffer.GetData(data);
        for (int i = 0; i < data.Length; i++)
        {
            Debug.Log(data[i].number);
        }
        testBuffer.Dispose();
    }
#

but it's not a shader though

#

and it's more of a beginner question

It literally is a shader though

hi, i am currently programming a evolution simulation and i have problems with the field of view always outputing angle = 0 even though the direction changes. I have print multiple values and aslo tried Vector3.Angle and inputting vector 2 to vector2.angle or vector 3 to vector2.Angle.

        bool IsWithinAngleOfView(Vector2 position)
        {
            Vector2 direction = position - new Vector2(transform.position.x, transform.position.y);
            float angle = Vector2.Angle(direction, transform.forward);
            return Mathf.Abs(angle) <= angleOfSight / 2;

This isn't really a coding question but seeing your asset folder structure would be necessary as it's related to your importing of another project.

are there any good resources or tools for 2D world generation? I have a good perlin noise function to get a height map which I can use to chose terrain type(biome generation), but I dont know how to populate a tile map with a script based on that perlin noise

for context I am making a game similar in style to factorio, so i am using a tilemap system

A future issue is also world wrapping I would like the game to wrap like sid meier's civilization, and im not sure how to go about that, I believe there are 2 schools of though. either duplicate camera but then objects passing over the border create an interesting challenge, or the load the world in chunks and move one chunk from the other end and then they step on that teleport the player. but this is a future problem I can solve but any useful links would be cool

# fierce sonnet pls someone 😅😭

your angle calculation is probably wrong. Use transform.up instead. Assuming transform is something 2D like a sprite, you're probably getting (0, 0, 1) in the forward dir which gets implicitly converted to (0, 0) in Vector2.Angle, and if either of the inputs to Vector2.Angle has a very small magnitude it returns 0

#
  • or Vector2.right, it depends on how you've oriented your sprites. Whatever their forward dir would be

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 use the transform properties when you just reference it as a game object?

I can’t think of a quick and easy way to do this in Unity so I’m sure it’s a custom algorithm they rolled…. I’m not sure this is a “code beginner” question.

presumably that is a scene reference so you would need to do dependency injection on OnSceneLoaded

how can i instantiate a game object, inside of another game object so that the game object im instantiating, dosnt penetrate out of the object im instantiating it inside of, using renderer bounds/extents?

im trying to get the effect of ammuntion and supplies dropping out of a box when it breaks.
i know how to get my object's pivot/origin inside of the box, but that will have the object penetrate the box's mesh, which i dont want.

what is clipping

carmine sierra

when two objects overlap when they shouldnt

is it not?

which objects are clipping

carmine sierra

the cannonball and ground

#

its in the video

languid spire

then wtf did you not say that?

carmine sierra

im confused lol

languid spire
#

you cannot just say 'this' and expect us to know what this is, you have to be specific

carmine sierra
#

are you confused or is it me

languid spire
#

I'm not confused, you need to ask questions better

carmine sierra
languid spire
#

because only you knows what you mean by this

carmine sierra
#

I gave the cannonball and ground the same sorting layer but they still clip

modest dust
#

I guess what you really want is to make the ball not go "into" the ground area, i.e. stop at it's surface?

tepid summit
#

make the ball 1 more

carmine sierra
modest dust
#

Then say so for the love of god

carmine sierra
tepid summit
#

set ball to 1 and ground to 0

carmine sierra
#

preventing it

modest dust
#

Setting the sorting layer will only make it render above the ground

carmine sierra
carmine sierra
ivory bobcat
modest dust
#

To prevent the ball to actually go into the ground either use colliders and move the ball to the mouse pos using physics or make your own custom stuff

carmine sierra
languid spire
#

Did you set the correct Order in Layer for both objects?

carmine sierra
#

but cause its following the mouse i don't think the layers will change anything?

ivory bobcat
#

I think he said the drag operation doesn't use physics until the ball is launched - he's teleporting the ball.

carmine sierra
modest dust
#

So either that or physics

carmine sierra
modest dust
#

physics

#

or custom code

#

as I said

carmine sierra
#

I know I could use something to do with the y coordinates, but I will have different weapons

modest dust
#

Then physics or a bunch of custom code

carmine sierra
languid spire
#

Colliders, Rigidbodies

modest dust
#

Set the colliders correctly and apply force / change velocity so that it goes towards the mouse

#

Physics will prevent the ball from going into the ground

carmine sierra
modest dust
#

Yes

#

As I stated multiple times

languid spire
#

do not use translate, use rigidbody moveposition

modest dust
#

Or custom code

carmine sierra
languid spire
#

no

ivory bobcat
#

Either that or raycast towards the mouse and stop the ball/string intermediately

carmine sierra
#

whe nthe ball touches?

ivory bobcat
#

How would I know?

#

When you're detecting the position of the mouse

carmine sierra
#

is there any built in functions which can tell when two objects are touching

#

like is touching or something

ivory bobcat
#

Sure physics

mortal bridge
carmine sierra
timber tide
#

just clamp the position for where it will read mouse position

#

the y value

mortal bridge
trail heart
#

I recommend clamping by distance or by position as well (or both)
No need for colliders when you can always predict where the object's motion should stop

#

Colliders don't work smoothly anyway for any non-physically moved objects

Surround code with three backquotes. Not quotation marks.
To format as C#, add cs to the first line:

well diagnal movement is usually faster in games because of mathematics

i thought its only when i press to movment keys at the same time like a+w

Yeah transform.forward is a direction, not a position. If you need it to be offset 1 unit forward according to the current position then you need transform.position + transform.forward

Hey guys, i'm pretty new to coding and idk if this question is more fitting in #⚛️┃physics but i've encountered a weird bug
Basically my Character can move trough walls, but only if i do not see the scene view. What i mean is that, when i have both the scene view and game view open everything is fine and the wall blocks the player. But when i only look at the game view he can suddenly move through them as if they were air
Any help is greatly appreciated

@short hazel ty fam

nova shore

#

What?

tepid summit
#

incorrect

short hazel
#

The forward direction is transform.forward, nothing else

nova shore
short hazel
#

Here you're computing a direction from a position and a direction, that's not right

#

A direction can only be determined from two positions when doing a subtraction

cosmic dagger
# nova shore dont think he gonna come back. he doesnt even understand the scenario to help me...

Your scenario is easy. Spawn at position of the object you want to be in front of, then multiply by how many units away

We can't tell where you're originally spawning the cube without code (that's why I asked)

Now with the actual code, your issue is that you're using transform.forward as the position which is incorrect as that is a direction

Very easy to help and debug but you didn't understand the situation . . .

you could make a separate enemy list and append them as they spawn so you can shoot the first one in range

languid spire
#

No, you need a trigger system and to implement OnTriggerEnter

spare mountain
#

but then varying speeds are an issue

spare mountain
languid spire
#

no they want the first in range

spare mountain
#

the furthest along enemy in range, sorry

timber tide
#

usually if you're casting or getting a group of objects in the same frame you'd want to sort it

spare mountain
#

you could sort by distance along the track if the enemies have a variable for that ^

#

that would be the best solution I can think of, but I want to know how steve wants to use triggers

languid spire
#

simple put a trigger collider on the tower, when ontriggerenter fires that is the one you shoot

spare mountain
#

what if an enemy moves faster inside of the trigger

#

now it's ahead, but it entered behind another enemy

languid spire
#

irrelevant, he wants to shoot at the first one

#

read what the OP said

spare mountain
#

yes, the first one isn't the first one that enters, it's the closest to the end (at least in bloons?)

#

roshi, can you clarify

#

do you want the first enemy that the tower sees (aka the one that enters its range first), or do you want the furthest along enemy the tower sees?

sterile radish
#

sorry, i should've explained this better, i want to shoot the first enemy but i want the tower behaviour to be similar to how amster is describing it and in bloons

languid spire
#

'similar to how in bloons td the monkeys shoot the first balloon they see and not the closest'

spare mountain
#

yes

#

so like I said

#

the furthest along enemy in range

#

that's how it works in bloons

short hazel
#

On trigger enter, add the enemy to a list. On enemy death / on trigger exit, remove it from the list. In Update get the closest one and shoot at it

spare mountain
#

oh wait

#

by "closest" do you mean closest to the goal?

#

that could work

timber tide
#

how do you resolve it all in a list using trigger, ah I guess it wouldn't be on the same frame then

#

Do like a queue, add newest enemies to it and then fire at the first in queue and check if it's still in range.

spare mountain
timber tide
#

Ah, right. The course can be somewhat complex too

#

Little tricky to keep sorted, so I guess you have to go through the list each update.

short hazel
#

I guess if the path is not straight you could represent it with a series of nodes, and use something to sort the enemies based on which node they're at, and how much in-between two nodes they are, to get the closest

#

With a straight path it's simple, but if you make some sort of circuit it gets complex fast

spare mountain
#

oof can't we just just store a variable for distance to the goal in each enemy

timber tide
#

it doesn't actually need to be resolved each frame is there is a cooldown on attacking

sterile radish
#

should i share my code for reference?

spare mountain
short hazel
#

Technically you could only recalculate it when one dies

spare mountain
#

because one could presume some will go faster than others

timber tide
#

but if it does need to be resolved each frame, you need to resolve it after physics update (if you're using OnTrigger)

short hazel
#

Then do it each frame, and if it gets slow optimize. In order:

  1. Make it work
  2. Make it pretty
  3. Make it fast
timber tide
#

or just physics query a overlap sphere or something yourself

#

Yeah, lot of ways you can optimize it, and I played that balloons game once and it was far from optimized

I'm trying to use my controller, and I can't figure out how to get the axises for my left and right stick. Do I need to change something in my Input Manager's settings

ok

has the full error message been shared yet?

in a very blury video above yes

it's not?

wintry quarry

the error contains the filename and line number of the error

#

the most important parts of the error message

#

share it

quartz mural
spare mountain
#

oh sorry yeah

quartz mural
#

thats one script

#

the last fucntino

#

is where the error is

#

when i call it

rich adder
spare mountain
#

send the error

quartz mural
#

ok

#

its in the vid but 😭

spare mountain
#

just send it

quartz mural
#

ok ok

Ok so it's this line:
moveText[i].text = moves[i].Base.Name; //Shows pokemon's move instead of the word move1

spare mountain
#

and it's specifically "moves"

wintry quarry
#

So either moves is null, moveText is null, or moves[i] is null or moves[i].Base is null or moveText[i] is null

short hazel
#

Yeah all that could be null

wintry quarry
#

you need to figure out which thing is null first

short hazel
#

Not just the text

rich adder
#

Debug time

quartz mural
#

how do i unnull it

spare mountain
rich adder
#

know which one is null, assign it

wintry quarry
#

don't try to skip the first step

quartz mural
#

ok

#

when i click on the error

#

it takes me to the battle system script

wintry quarry
rich adder
#

that only brings you to the line

wintry quarry
#

there are 5 references on that line that are being dereferenced

quartz mural
#

wait

#

can i show u smt

#

if i comment the line where i call the funciton

#

look what ahppens

wintry quarry
quartz mural
#

thats when i comment the line when i call the fucniton

wintry quarry
#

Now there's jsut another error happening at a different place

#

what's your point

quartz mural
#

to switch the "move" with the pokemons acc move

wintry quarry
#

You still need top fix the error

quartz mural
#

ok

#

so find which is null

wintry quarry
#

yes

#

Find which is null, and assign it

quartz mural
#

if i may ask

#

how do i do that

wintry quarry
#

Debug.Log or attach the debugger

quartz mural
#

okkkk...

wintry quarry
#

e.g.

if (moves == null) Debug.Log("moves is null");
/// etc```
#

there are 5 things you need to check

quartz mural
#

ok

rich adder
#

learn to use debugger and step through code 😈

quartz mural

abstract finch
#

do while loops check the condition after all the code is ran through inside it or does it check after every line?

short hazel
#

Before all the code

wintry quarry
abstract finch
#

thanks!

short hazel
#

do ... while checks after, ensuring at least one iteration

wintry quarry
# 
while (cond) {
  A();
  B();
}```
Does:
- check cond (bail out if false)
- run A()
- run B()
- check cond again (bail out if false)
... so on
abstract finch
#

does for int loop function the same way?

spare mountain
#

just with incrementation, yes

abstract finch
#

got it thanks

wintry quarry
#

note that the init part only runs at the start

#

it's just a while loop with a couple extra bits

abstract finch
#

i see thanks!

I have code on instance object. I already have this object in all scenes. Does it do anything considered GameManager object already exists.
wintry quarry
earnest atlas
#

Yeah as I though gotta remove it

wintry quarry
#

with this code you should NOT have the thing in the scene at edit time

#

Either use this code OR place the thing in all the scenes

#

not both

earnest atlas
#

So this is entire thing I need?

Are there any pros of generating such object or no?

Considered on top if you want it to be something more complext then just data storage

Hi, I', trying to create a sequence, where camera flyies through the whole (2d) level, after that the player charachter should play animation, but only after the camera span is over. I've tried it with DoTween and Coroutines, but they still work simultaneously. How to I give full controll to camera first?

Game manager code
    private void StartSessoin()
    {
// start camera span
        playerObserver.StartCameraSpanCoroutine();

// start intro animation
        guy.LetGoPresent();
    }

CAMERA CODE
public IEnumerator LevelCameraSpan()
{
    Vector3 destination = new Vector3(0, yPositions[yPositions.Length - 1], 0);
    Vector3 current = new Vector3(0, yPositions[0], 0);
    float time = 0;
    float timeInterpolator = time / transitionDuration;
    while (timeInterpolator < 1)
    {
        Debug.Log(timeInterpolator);
        transform.position = Vector3.Lerp(current, destination, timeInterpolator);
        time += Time.deltaTime;
        timeInterpolator = time / transitionDuration;
        yield return null;
    }

    yield return new WaitForSeconds(0.5f);

    current = new Vector3(0, yPositions[yPositions.Length - 1], 0);
    destination = new Vector3(0, yPositions[0], 0);
    time = 0;
    timeInterpolator = time / transitionDuration;
    while (timeInterpolator < 1)
    {
        transform.position = Vector3.Lerp(current, destination, timeInterpolator);
        time += Time.deltaTime;
        timeInterpolator = time / transitionDuration;
        yield return null;
    }
}

wdym by full camera controll?

#

also !code

eternal falconBOT
bold nova
#

I want it to move the camera through the whole level , like a preview of the level, during that fly through no animation should be played, but with the code above camera starts to go up (i have 2d level) and player character starts intro animation in the same time

charred spoke
bold nova
#

Start coroutine inside another or this should be one big coroutine?

charred spoke
#

Both can work but I prefer to start coroutines inside a master sequence routine

bold nova
dire tartan
#

i want the camera to rotate how its shown at the start and to follow the player what do i have to change?

You'd need to fix your pivot though

I have a Singleon class. Is there a good reason not to make all my public methods/members static? So that outside calls can just be "SingletonClass.Function()" as opposed to "SingletonClass.Instance.Function()" ?
