hi, im making a tower defense game and i was wondering how would i check if an enemy is in range of my tower in my "UpdateTarget" method and not in my "TargetClosest method". the problem with the target closest method is that the "findgameobjectbytag" method returns gameobjects randomly and not in an orderly list which is why im trying to change it.
https://hatebin.com/qnbfgortoc
queen adder
Vector3.Distance() is my first guess
rocky canyon
I didnt even know there was a intellisense file / settings.json
i didnt either 😄 i know about templates.. didnt know intellisense used settings like that
queen adder
Thats why i like it here always learning new stuff
but yeah roshi i think u just need to check which gameobject has the shortest distance to ur tower
oak nimbus
the callback should be enough `OnMyStringListModified()`

You probably don't want to make a list for each tower of each single enemy spawned with a FindObjectsByName

you should not use FindGameObjectByTag, instead, create a trigger collider and add enemy GameObjects to a list when they enter (remove when they exit), or use a physics overlap method to grab all of the enemies within range . . .
queen adder
Yeah i dont see why the list would be static when ur going to have multiple instances of the same tower probably
rocky canyon
ohh no, not statics again 😅
queen adder
Ikr

Then there are a few ways you can go, but I would have a recount of each enemy for how advanced they are in the track (which the enemy itself should track) and a recount of how far each enemy is from the tower. You could have these datas in two different List (that you could sort to get easily the highest and the lower) or however you find more manageable; just make sure that you can easily access the closest enemy and the most advanced
rocky canyon
oh wait yo u cant do those in editor scripts can you?
you could use the callback in the regular monobehaviour do the actual coroutine
idk what ur use-case is..
oak nimbus
you could use the callback in the regular monobehaviour do the actual coroutine
i t hink I need to rethink my approach
rocky canyon
but i dont think u can have editor scripts in ur build at all..
not sure thats a problem for u
rocky canyon
thought this was a tool/ ease of use type situation
queen adder
Went thru all the work and ur code wouldnt even show up in ur final build lmao
oak nimbus
I think I need to just render the list in the inspector myself manually with my own GUI code tbh
rocky canyon
ya, editor scripts are for the developers
cosmic dagger
editor scripts are only for development . . .
queen adder
Why not just give them there appropriate Ids somewhere else
cosmic dagger
wait, what is the issue?
queen adder
Because u cant even use the editor scripts when ur game releases
When the list changes in game then what?
oak nimbus
im making an editor tool
rocky canyon
^ this.. he wanted a callback for when he added to a string list thru the inspector..

rocky canyon
im thinking its probably one of them.. X Y problems..
where theres probably a better solution all together than what we're thinking
queen adder
Facts
But to be fair i dont know ur project or the full scope of what ur trying to do so i could be wrong
oak nimbus
I have a scriptable object
public class SublimeEditorPrefabRegistry : ScriptableObject
{
public List<SublimeEditorPrefabRootData> prefabs;
}
public class SublimeEditorPrefabRootData
{
public string name;
public List<SublimeEditorPrefabData> prefabData;
}
public class SublimeEditorPrefabData
{
public int poolSize;
public SublimePeerType peerType;
public GameObject go;
}
This is only ever lives in the editor this data holds both info used by the server and t he client. however t he client doesn't need to know about the server data, a nd the server doesn't need to know about the client data.
So all of this is baked into 2 seperate json files one for the client one for the server
I want each instance of SublimeEditorPrefabRootData to get an ID generated when I add it to the list via the inspector
later on in the game
the data is deserialized into classes
rocky canyon
sooo much relevant information! thanks for typing it out 👍 im surely these guys can tell u exactly what u need to do now
queen adder
Why not just give the items in the list IDS when the game starts
oak nimbus
because i generate a class when the json bakes
this way I can do something like sublimeNEtworkInstantiate(NetPRefab.Player,
where netprefab.player is an integer
that is assigned by codegen
i got it all working
queen adder
I may be stupid but u cant just give them ids when u serialize the class?
oak nimbus
no because the ids need to be assigned when the object is added to the list that way if an item is removed from the list the id can be repopulated into the collection of available ids
this is essentially a bunch of hoops im jumping through so that gameserver code and client code can reside in the same project without server code being included in client builds
I understand yall think this is an XY problem but I have a giant network library that is working and is in production in a live game
and im just trying to reduce the chance of a mistake being made by someone manually assigning the ids
so I w ant them to generate when an item is added via the inspector
oak nimbus
<@152013730111029248> you can do that with the new UI Toolkit. i'd use that for ...
i think this is my best solution so far ima give it a look
rocky canyon
ya, not sure i should be helpin u at all considering im just a humble peasant, in terms of where ur at 😄
oak nimbus
i just dont want to remake a bunch of editor tools in ui toolkit if i can avoid it
cosmic dagger
i just started messing with it and need to figure out how to use SerializeReference with it, but they have callbacks you can subscribe to that check if a field has changed . . .
queen adder
And then u can check what IDs are available via the callback and repopulate the IDs when a list item is removed
frigid sequoia
Ok, so I have been unable to fully fix this for a while now and I am not sure it is a problem of logic by my part or it is bound by the randomness of the order of execution of the scripts; but I have a script (the one I shown before) that casts prefabs of lasers when it collides with a wall; it works fine but has a mayor issue and it is that after a certain number of bounces it starts to run a frame behind what it should. As shown in the image:
This is the code that manages the bounce: https://gdl.space/egusinepuv.cs
oak nimbus

Yeah this wont work either, it doesn't provide a way to get the object in the list and has the same issue the code spawn provded does the callback is called before the item is actually added to the list so I cant just get t he last item added to the list cause it technically didn't happen yet.
im just gonna code my own UI for rendering the list.
sullen gazelle
Okay so there's this spider I got off the asset store. And I have it set up to follow the player and attack when in range. The only issue right now is that it will walk to the player, attack once it's in range, and it will just freeze up until I leave it's range (then it starts following me again.) It won't go back to it's idle state, it won't attack again, nothing until I leave the range. I think it has something to do with my transitions. I have them all set up the same way (I'm planning on doing jump and idle later).

how can i make a player jump only once when holding the spacebar?
cosmic dagger
how can i make a player jump only once when holding the spacebar?
set a bool, and don't reset it until the spacebar is released . . .
vale karma
could i use context.performed or i think its context.entered instead?
rich adder
yeah you want performed
cosmic dagger
you can use an action (event) that calls a method which sets a bool in your jump script. one action for press and another action for release . . .
you can also use context; make sure it's performed . . .
queen adder
.cancelled should tell you when its released
vale karma
i tried using public void OnJump(InputAction.CallbackContext context) { if (context.performed) { JumpAction = context.ReadValueAsButton(); } }
vale karma
i think thats very wrong tho lol, it only reads if its true or false if its performed.
queen adder
I believe it depends on how ur action is set up via the inspector
Like so
you would use context.ReadValueAsButton() if ur action was set to a button action type in the Input Actions
vale karma
yea the spacebar is set as a buttontype
once it reaches past a certain value it is either true or false. works well so far
queen adder
Then you should be set
Just add to ur y velocity when the button is pressed and make sure ur grounded
vale karma
so your saying i need to add JumpActionCancelled = under the JumpAction = right?
and then if its true I can jump again?
vale karma
nre?
cosmic dagger
null reference exception . . .
vale karma
yea lol, but i cant figure out a way to get the player only to jump once while in the jumpstate, but then carry that knowledge over to the next state if your holding the key still
as i say it i think i found an answer lol
queen adder
Oh u want them to constantly jump if theyre holding the button?
vale karma
the opposite
queen adder
So currently if u hold the button they jump again as soon as they touch the ground?
vale karma
it basically reads it, goes to jump, then resets what it knows and reads the input agian
yea
vale karma
its a state machine its alot 😮

i have code that determines the speed of the movement in the air based on the previous states speed. i think i can do the same concept with a hasJumped bool. so i can make it false to start, change it to true under the NewInputSystemValues script when the space bar is pressed, and the false when the cancelled action has happened. then in the jumpstate i can write an if statement determining if the number of jumps is 1, if so then dont respond, if not then jump
cosmic dagger
Okay. Removed it. Now there's an error in my damage code XD
cast the variable or change the parameter type of the method . . .
queen adder
All u need to do is check if u grounded and if u are call the jump method
vale karma
sorry, if hasJumped is true.
i promise i started with that, and there were so many issues;
queen adder
Just check ur current y velocity if its greater than zero ur jumping if its less then ur falling
vale karma
the problem with just that is your still grounded even after pressing spacebar, for quite a few frames. and also, if your walking up a slope your velocity is greater than 0. I do have a falling script allowing it to change states once grounded and is falling.
basically most ways of doing it would allow the states to change rapidly between eachother bc in a sense both where true at the same time
queen adder
Ah i see
Was there anything else u needed help with? Are u still jumping while space bar is held?
rocky canyon
the key to that is applying gravity the entire time ur grounded and then zeroing it out just as you start a jump..
that helps the whole flickering thing
queen adder
Oh good point
vale karma
i didnt want to mess with the rigidbody and gravity, but i did fix it
the jumping is still happening
queen adder
Again

cool cool
vale karma
im writing the code now, but what is the code for when the button has been let go?
queen adder
Is it UnityEvents?
rocky canyon
Input.GetKeyUp
queen adder
Hes using the NewInput System
rocky canyon
oh
vale karma
yea
queen adder
If ur using UnityEvents u have to change ur code
vale karma
wym
queen adder
Are u using them?
vale karma
queen adder
Show me the NewInputSystemValues class
vale karma
it has broken code in the jump rn, but above the if statement was all it had beforehand, just reading the input
queen adder
if(context.ReadValueAsButton.WasPressedThisFrame)
vale karma
ahhh
rocky canyon
thats the equiv to the Input.GetKeyUp
vale karma
i want to keep it versitile so i could have my wife play on controller
queen adder
I like the new input system but its overly complex imo
rocky canyon
but yea, you should read as value..
queen adder
U do that inside of InputAction class inspector or whatever its called
rocky canyon
thats the proper way
vale karma
its the same thing but converts it to a bool at a certain threshold you can set
kind of like a trigger to a gun
rocky canyon
thats the whole thought process behind the new input system
is u can create functionallity that will translate from kb to gamepad, etc
queen adder
That part of it is super cool
rocky canyon
and change things super quickly
queen adder
And relatively ez
rocky canyon
assign new schemes etc
vale karma
yea, but i got it workin, and i think its fine if i set the threshold to 100 or just leave it
rocky canyon
ya, im behind in it tbh
vale karma
also i want to see if i could ever make this vr too haha
rocky canyon
i still use basic Input code to prototype
vale karma
i have made vr before, but nothing crazy
queen adder
Whats the error message
vale karma
oh wait
queen adder
context.action.WasPressedThisFrame();
vale karma
i got it working, but if you hold space after you let it go and your still in the air, you jump again, so i guess Waspressedthisframe can be used too
queen adder
Show the code? Are u checking if ur grounded
queen adder
vale karma
yea im kinda stuck
its not really workin anyway i go about it
trying to read the buttonvalue and also if check if it was pressed this frame or released on the same input and then to get into the jumpstate you ahve to check both inputs which would be oposite of eachother wouldnt work
like if (jumpaction && !hasJumped) would be controlled by the same input. It would change hasJumped to true at the same time if not before JumpAction is true
queen adder
Share the entire code
vale karma
the idle state is what i changed to test the was pressed and was released code. as you can see the other sprint and walk states have the original jumping code.
queen adder
When u call jump ur not checking if u were grounded
vale karma
oh crap thats checked in this script
{
if (inputValues.MovementAction != Vector2.zero)
{
player.SwitchState(player.WalkState);
}
if (playerMovement.IsGrounded() && !inputValues.hasJumped && inputValues.JumpAction )
{
player.SwitchState(player.JumpState);
}
if (inputValues.SprintAction)
{
player.SwitchState(player.SprintState);
}
if (inputValues.CrouchAction)
{
player.SwitchState(player.CrouchState);
}
}```the inputavlues.hasJumped would be true, at the same time jumpaction would be true. the WasPressedThisFrame changes hasJumped before the player jumps
queen adder
U need to check if ur grounded when ur setting the velocity
vale karma
wym
vale karma
hahaha
teal viper
``` public override void UpdateState(PlayerStateManager player)
{
...
Where's that code in?
queen adder
Yeah bro this is spaghetti
vale karma
lol i have a script where i get just input, a script for the basic movement mechanics,and a statemachine built to change the movement mechanics based on the state its in
queen adder
Yeah but u have to jump around 4 classes to see whats going on
vale karma
its hectic now, but realize if I want to check if im in the air while im attacking, if i have above 5 health and dont have a leg injury, and i am alive, and not starving, etc... you can tell how much would go into one if statement if i dont use state machines
queen adder
Its not the statemachine itself thats the problem
teal viper
``` public override void UpdateState(PlayerStateManager player)
{
...
One thing that is a red flag for me is that you don't return after switching a state, meaning several states could be switched to on the same frame. If there is any logic for state switching, it would potentially run for several states.
vale karma
yea i forgot this was the first out of 4 revisions from the tutorial i got it from
queen adder
Its just hard to follow and work thru the code
But i degress
Whats in ur playermovement class
vale karma
i get what your sayin, atm i understand it, but im just putting out fires left and right
static cedar
``` public override void UpdateState(PlayerStateManager player)
{
...
That's a lot of switch states but I don't see return statements.
teal viper
Maybe just share all the scripts properly. !code
eternal falconBOT
teal viper
You don't need to share all of them. Just the relevant ones.
queen adder
The spongebob references are making me feel old
vale karma
is it really this much just to get movement up and running correctly? or am i just not used to it?
vale karma
i get there are easier ways, and yes this is haha, but i figured id want something scaleable
static cedar
State machines become handy when you get a lot of states
Beyond just walking and crouching.
vale karma
i just dont wanna code myself into a corner
but it seems ill never make it to an end of a game unless i just say F it and hardcode the rest of it
queen adder
Its fine
teal viper
https://paste.ofcode.org/zarX9HTMgnv27HPiEiPzBE
Where's the state machine even? I don't see anything about it in the controller..?
queen adder
I think ur problem is the way ur setting the HasJumped Boolean
queen adder
Why not just check everything on the jump event
teal viper
its a script of its own i think
That's a pretty bad design imho. So you have a character controller that doesn't have any dependency on the state machine and then you have an external logic that modifies the controller fields sneakily.
vale karma
its not a controller just a rigidbody
queen adder
He doesnt mean the component
teal viper
It controls your character, so it's a controller.🤷♂️
vale karma
ooo
'one step forward and two steps baaack,
yall about to give me a heart attaahaack'
teal viper
I think the state machine was a plain class initially, was it not?
Was it a MonoBehaviour from the very start?
vale karma
yes
teal viper
It was a MonoBehaviour?
vale karma
i think, the PlayerStateManager class has Monobehavior
teal viper
The question is, wether it had(*wether it is to word it correctly) it in the tutorial?
vale karma
yea i set it up exactly how he had it, its that apple falling off a tree state machine tutorial
queen adder
He didnt have a jump method?
teal viper

Okay then.
vale karma
all this is so much to wrap my head around. I feel like ill never make it out of the basics DX He only explained how state machines worked. i implemented the states and what they were for myself
queen adder
I wouldnt code a state machine like this
vale karma
so now i am stuck with the knowledge of how to make states, but not really how to make a state machine in genereal
queen adder
You should really only Get State information when another class is requesting it
vale karma
Like i dont get what most of what you guys are refering to, so im sure i still have no idea what i actually wrote
teal viper
What's the issue anyway? This conversation dragged for so long that I didn't even see any initial info on the issue.
queen adder
His jump isnt working
Hes using the New Input System...Unity Events he has Input Class that listens for the events
teal viper
That's not very helpful. What exactly isn't working? Does the code not run? Does it run but not as expected?
vale karma
the second part of this video where im moving and jumping
queen adder
When the Jump event is raised he sets a hasJumpedBool to true and sets another field
But the second field seems redundant
public void OnJump(InputAction.CallbackContext context)
{
if (context.action.WasPressedThisFrame())
{
hasJumped = true;
Debug.Log("true");
}
if (context.action.WasReleasedThisFrame())
{
hasJumped = false;
Debug.Log("false");
}
JumpAction = context.ReadValueAsButton();
}
Why are u setting JumpAction to the context?
vale karma
i was going to replace it with the above code
teal viper
the second part of this video where im moving and jumping
What about it? It looks fine to me on first glance. Can't see the logs on mobile.
queen adder
U should really just try and set the state inside of OnJump()
vale karma
but then i figured i am thinking of what pressing this frame wrong. instead of thinking of "have i jumped already?" the bool is actually determining "am i being pressed". So im thinking if i put hasJumped in the Jump state it would work?
queen adder
That does not happen
WasPressedTHISFrame
It only checks it for a single frame so ur good
Theres no reason to check if a jump button was released. Especially since u DONT want them jumping if the spacebar is held down
vale karma
im noticing theres still more bugs in my code with movement. the player cant go up a small angled wall when hes walking, but he can fly up it if hes sprinting. Ill just have to scrap this project for now, i think i bit off more than i could chew
how did you guys get so good at it? just years of practice im guessing

Debugging is a skill you learn, the actual coding you'll do is trivial work 90% of the time if you understand the language already.

okay, bc im getting discouraged thinking i learned something, spending 3 weeks on it, then getting stuck and realizing what i did wasnt right
you can ask @dlich ive been on this same concept for weeks
eternal needle
theres lots of ways to do movement, its not unusual to rewrite it a few times because a past way wasnt quite right. I rewrote my first one a few times then moved on from that project due to it being overscoped.
Then it also ties into stuff later in your game, like knockback, restricting movement (stuns, slows, etc).

One good way of learning is looking at other people's project/code. You can probably find some on GitHub or the asset store. Or just looking through different tutorials that implement a feature you're interested in.
The point is to read through it and understand how it works. And why. Why is probably the most important question. Why implement like this and not some other way.

eternal needle
can I create randomly generated items with stats using a scriptable object base?...
You shouldnt be changing the SO at runtime, use the SO to provide the base stats then modify the object which received the values as you want.
If you are randomly generating it, I dont think you need SO then but you could create an instance at runtime
languid spire

you can clone your SO base for each item, that way each one has it's own

Item stats should be on different class

usually i do ItemData scriptable object and ItemStats and just store the base stats on item data and assign them to itemstats in start

eternal needle
i don't want my database to be cluttered with 100 duplicates
If you are generating an item with something that is entirely random, you're gonna have to store the random value no matter what you do. Your only other option would be storing the seed used to generate this number, but then you would also have to make sure you generate them again in order which isnt gonna be fun either

This is the easiest and quickest way.. it'll show up in right mouse click on the component title
[ContextMenu("My method")]
private void MyMethod() { }
often it will, but it depends on how often you're going to be pressing the button 🙂
rich adder
true, i personally enjoy messing with Custom editor/inspectors

Odin Inspector (IIRC) adds a [Button] attribute, which does it with just that

A common problem with vscode. The configuration with Unity breaks often . . .

been decent recently , the updates are making ok

I use it (vscode) as my IDE, and it only ever messed up twice, but I finally got around to installing Rider. I just need to configure it with Unity . . .

Another — better — IDE, but it's a paid subscription . . .

Though VSCode isn't really an IDE, but yeah . . .

rich adder
but how do i run a coroutine from another script
i would make a public method that calls the coroutine in that script instead
gaunt ice
how do you call method from another script
cosmic dagger
but how do i run a coroutine from another script
Do you have a reference to the script with the coroutine?
autumn tusk
yeah
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
public class WeaponInfo : MonoBehaviour
{
public string weaponname;
public float bulletforce;
public int ammo;
public int maxheldammo;
public int playerdamage;
public float spread;
public int shotsfired;
public float reloadtime;
public bool isautomatic;
public float burstdelay;
public Transform firepointpos;
public Transform newfirepointpos;
public GameObject ammoused;
public Sprite weaponpickupsprite;
public SpriteRenderer heldweapon;
public AudioClip shootclip;
public AudioClip emptyclip;
public AudioClip reloadclip;
public playershooting _playerShooterScript;
public PlayerPickupText _playerPickupText;
// Start is called before the first frame update
private void Awake()
{
_playerShooterScript = UnityEngine.Object.FindFirstObjectByType<playershooting>();
_playerPickupText = UnityEngine.Object.FindFirstObjectByType<PlayerPickupText>();
}
private void OnTriggerStay2D(Collider2D collision)
{
if (collision.CompareTag("Player") && Input.GetKey("q"))
{
print(weaponname);
heldweapon.sprite = weaponpickupsprite;
_playerShooterScript.weaponname = weaponname;
_playerShooterScript.ammo = ammo;
_playerShooterScript.maxheldammo = maxheldammo;
_playerShooterScript.spread = spread;
_playerShooterScript.shotsfired = shotsfired;
_playerShooterScript.reloadtime = reloadtime;
_playerShooterScript.isautomatic = isautomatic;
_playerShooterScript.playerdamage = playerdamage;
_playerShooterScript.bulletForce = bulletforce;
_playerShooterScript.burstdelay = burstdelay;
_playerPickupText.StartCoroutine(PlayerPickup(weaponname));
}
}
}
Then use the reference to call it, though I'd do with navarone said and call a method that starts the coroutine . . .
autumn tusk
how would i do that
hexed terrace
StartCorountine(<methodyou wan to call>)
autumn tusk
i already have that though
hexed terrace
no, you do not.
autumn tusk
_playerPickupText.StartCoroutine(PlayerPickup(weaponname));
how would i fix this specific line to be in line with syntax
hexed terrace
_playerPickupText.PlayerPickup(weaponname) is the method you want to call
rich adder
how would i do that
public class A{
public void Foo(){
StartCoroutine(Bar())
}
private IEnumerator Bar(){
}
}
public class B{
A a;
void Method(){
a.Foo();
}```so how do you call method from another script
hexed terrace
_playerPickupText.StartCoroutine() is not a thing and is why you're having errors.

Was hoping to clarfiy a couple things that have had me a little confused. I have here a script for a UI slot of an inventory, which when clicked should spawn an item into the world. I am refactoring it at the moment so I don't need to check the scene to spawn stuff, but I was curious about that Inventory object. As is, I was worried that having that there would mean that every single UI slot has it's own inventory, holding every item in my inventory, wasting memory. But is that actually the case? I'm not too sure how memory management works in this scenario. Is it the case that the actual inventory is held elseswhere, and this just references that, or is each slot actually holding the inventory in it?
public class InventoryUiSlot : MonoBehaviour, IPointerClickHandler
{
public InventoryItemSlot CorrespondingInventoryItem;
public Inventory inventory;
public void OnPointerClick(PointerEventData eventData)
{
Scene currentScene = SceneManager.GetActiveScene();
switch (currentScene.name)
{
//Get the item placer and inventory manager to retrieve the user's inventory
//Then place the item in the world
case "Roam":
break;
case "Recycle":
if (CorrespondingInventoryItem.item is RawItem)
{
itemPlacer itemPlacer = GameObject.Find("CraftingManager").GetComponent<itemPlacer>();
itemPlacer.placeItem(CorrespondingInventoryItem.item.objectPrefab);
UpdateUiElementOnClick();
}
break;
case "Build":
itemPlacer buildItemPlacer = GameObject.Find("BuildManager").GetComponent<itemPlacer>();
buildItemPlacer.placeItem(CorrespondingInventoryItem.item.objectPrefab);
UpdateUiElementOnClick();
break;
default:
break;
}
}
public void UpdateUiElementOnClick()
{
inventory.RemoveItem(CorrespondingInventoryItem.item, 1);
CorrespondingInventoryItem = inventory.GetItemSlot(CorrespondingInventoryItem.item);
if (inventory.invContainer.Contains(CorrespondingInventoryItem))
{
gameObject.GetComponentsInChildren<TextMeshProUGUI>()[1].text = CorrespondingInventoryItem.count.ToString();
}
else
{
Destroy(gameObject);
}
}
private void OnDestroy()
{
Debug.Log("The ui slot was destroyed");
}
}```

Assuming that you assign the inventory from somewhere else, each slot is then holding a reference to the 1 source of "inventory" in memory, so each slot is not reserving extra memory of your entire inventory, just a object that points to your inventory - though if your refactoring, personally I wouldnt have a slot even know about the inventory, in my mind, a slot should just need to display info its given (perhaps a scriptable object, serialized class or just params in a function), and maybe hold a reference to an item its displaying - a inventory manager could be the part that holds your entire inventory and feeds that to slots, that manager can handle things like dropping, stacking, moving between slots, etc, this way slots dont need "parent references" to do its job imo

Thanks for the clarification. I'm trying to figure out how to do that to a degree, I don't want classes doing much more than it's name implies but I'm having difficulties figuring out how to go about it. Been trying lots of different ways but my inexperience is making it tough to figure out

how could i create a UI element on the top of the screen that has information on it? like when a new patient spawns it creates a card with the patient data on it? I was thinking making use of a queue or a stack to just add data on the end
my problem is how i would create a new card
or how i would access the stack

Hey can someone help me out please, I'm really confused idk why my list size is being limited when Im not even using my inventorysize variable
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;

public List<GameObject> inventory = new List<GameObject>();
public int inventorySize;
private GameObject activeObject;
private PlayerController playerController;
public int currentObject = 0;

void Start()
{
playerController = GetComponent<PlayerController>();
//inventory.Capacity = 5;
}
// Update is called once per frame
void Update()
{
currentObject = playerController.currentEquip;
//Debug.Log(currentObject);
foreach (GameObject item in inventory)
{
if (inventory.Count == 1)
{
currentObject = 1;
activeObject = item;
activeObject.SetActive(true);
}
if(inventory.Count > 1)
{
if (item != activeObject)
item.SetActive(false);
else
return;
}
}
Debug.Log(inventory.Count);
}
}```What do you mean being limited?
rare basin
inventory.Capacity = 5;
why are you using Capacity property
that's why its limited to 5
candid gorge
im not using it //inventory.Capacity = 5;
rare basin
ah
candid gorge
nvm i just figured out the problem
rare basin
then what do you mean by being limited
candid gorge
if inventorysize = 3 for example, the list doesnt go beyond that, but is because i'm using another script for that and i didnt remember nvm

GameObject item = Instantiate(prefab, objectPosition.transform);
inventory.inventory.Add(item);
Destroy(gameObject);
}

```what if inventory.count>1 and item==activeObjectsame behaviour
gaunt ice
btw debug.log accept second argument that tell you which object it is logged
and recommend: instead of log the Count only you should use string interpolation to have a meaningful text (instead of a single number) or using debugger
also log the count before any early return
candid gorge
rn I'm just trying to check how many objects does the list have because that chunk of code doesnt seem to work
but for some reason the count caps at 1 no matter how many objects does the list have

If i erase this now it debugs correctly
candid gorge
it stops
whenever the list size is bigger than 1 it stops debugging
however if I erase the code above it debugs correctly
gaunt ice
ok
when the count of list == 1, the activeItem is the first item in the list ---- 1
after you propagate the list so Count>1 ---- 2
since the first item is active item so early return ----- 3
foreach (GameObject item in inventory){
if (inventory.Count == 1){ ----- 1
currentObject = 1;
activeObject = item;
activeObject.SetActive(true);
}
if(inventory.Count > 1){ ------ 2
if (item != activeObject) <-----first item==activeObject, so false
item.SetActive(false);
else
return; ----- 3

Maybe you can look into events and delegates, they are a nice way to have scripts get notified when something specific changes, you could also look into properties so you can display data to other classes but not allow them to change it - for example, your manager could hold a list of UISlots, and subscribe a "OnSlotClicked" event, when that slot gets mouse input, it can fire that event passing itself as a reference, and the subscribed function from the manager would be called knowing the slot that was clicked, it can then update that slot as needed

Hi folks - I'm trying to simulate some "flapping" rotation mechanics while just experimenting with some code, but something's not working. Basically, I want a constant clockwise torque on a 2d object which gets an impulse counterclockwise torque upon a "flap" click, simulating a very basic flight movement. However, when I run the below, the rigidbody seems to just get stuck on the lower or upper bound of my LimitRot() method. Any ideas why?
void Update()
{
LimitRot();
myRigidbody.AddTorque(torque, ForceMode2D.Force);
if (Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0))
{
myRigidbody.velocity = Vector2.up * flap;
myRigidbody.AddTorque(impulse, ForceMode2D.Impulse);
private void LimitRot()
{
Vector3 playerEulerAngles = localTrans.rotation.eulerAngles;
playerEulerAngles.z = (playerEulerAngles.z > 180) ? playerEulerAngles.z - 360 : playerEulerAngles.z;
playerEulerAngles.z = Mathf.Clamp(playerEulerAngles.z, minZRot, maxZRot);
localTrans.rotation = Quaternion.Euler(playerEulerAngles);
Sorry for all the edits! Just getting used to the inline code function 🤦♂️

Is it possible to set variables of a script not to be saved when a prefab is changed and saved? I have these prefabs that I'd like to keep some variables different on each object, is it possible?
If Unity follows general c# behavior, setting the variables as nonserializable should do?

Yeah I’ve actually used them in this scenario to update the list of displayed items when the inventory is changed, but I’m still wrapping my head around the syntax, registering them and passing in arguments. Have literally just this minute started watching some more guides on them to figure out how to properly use them in my situation
Also going through and changing some things so my classes aren’t as messy and I utilise inheritance more, so everything is a bit of a mess at the moment

It may help to create a second script to try some new things in, so you have less to look at, and just focus on getting logs to happen through events and pass info through the events to update the logs, then you have a simplified example you can reference to scale up to your current inventory, I often do something similar when picking up new things, though I usually go a step further and also do them in a separate test project, just to remove complexity in my main project (though version control is another way to manage that potential problem)

I’ve gone and made a separate class for the new implementation so I don’t lose where I was at with the other one, but it’s mostly down to the fact that im throwing stuff at the wall to see what sticks
