If I have multipler player's in my game, and each has a PlayerController slapped on em. How can i get references to each player's input in other scripts?

Is my setup

#

Each player controller has a PlayerInput attached if that helps

hi, is there a way to write this so that it only rotates GameObject on the Y axis?

transform.rotation = Quaternion.FromToRotation(Vector3.forward, -hit.normal);

currently this code allows the GameObject to flip on the x and z axis as well which is creating unwanted interactions

timber comet
#

Just one thing tho, after all of that, do you want to clamp the y rotation?

lusty girder
#

how might that be done?

timber comet
# lusty girder Yes, to like 180

Then you can do something like this:
You need to make a Vector3, store the transform.eulerAngles in Start, after that you need to apply the rotation to that Vector3

#

In the end do a Math.Clamp on the y of that Vector, and apply it to transform.eulerAngles

im trying to debug my code

image.png
#

data tips are not working

#

i should be in debug mode properly, ive got the step in out and over stuff

image.png
#

adding stuff to watch doesnt seem to work

#

locals is completely empty

sour fulcrum
#

can't figure it out based on what the docs say. Does GetComponentInParent go through all parents in the given hierarchical chain? or just the first parent

hybrid wagon
#

just the first parent pretty sure

#

otherwise it would be parents

sour fulcrum
#

im inclined to agree but parents isn't a function that exists and considering you can only have 1 parent it seems abit odd to have a dedicated function to do just the parent when you could just do .parent in every context yknow

#

hence why im sus

hybrid wagon
#

chatgpt it is!

sour fulcrum
#

nah im good

hybrid wagon
#

i dont expect to get a response for a couple hours, anyway

hybrid wagon
#

ok so it just goes up recursively until it finds one

sour fulcrum
#

thank you

#

sorry i did look!

#

might be a little fried aha

#

the function name does kinda seem inconsistent with the children functions

#

seems to want to be Parents

night mural
#

I agree

#

but maybe some folks just aren't ready to be Parents yet

#

we gotta give it time

sour fulcrum
#

it says no parents not no parent, we're allowed one

nimble apex
#

due to project infrastructure (base code / design), i need to follow an unusual way to do this

basically, im now trying to modify a function that updates a 3D coin object and place it on certain UIs, the function :

  1. receive an integer from other functions, the integer is the value of the coin
  2. assign a spawn point for the token to spawn
  3. instantiate token
  4. modify the material of the token base on the value received
nimble apex
#

the problem is , i need to change the texture of the material on top of existing features

lavish gate
#

Can i destroy an object from a static class

nimble apex
#

is dictionary good for this?

dictionary<int,texture>```
#

or you guys have better idea

How is this beginner 😭

(maybe im worse than a beginner)

I dont know im a beginner :>

craggy oxide
#

the people in here are very very careful not to help anyone who doesn't know their stuff already

coarse shore
#

Icl

craggy oxide
#

you need to get started on your own, take some tutorials, learn the basics, and only then, if YOUR CODE isn't working, you come here

coarse shore
#

The unity tutorials dont acc help

craggy oxide
#

thats what this place is for

coarse shore
#

Like other ppls yt videos r better

#

Well thats my opinion

craggy oxide
#

well, however you choose to learn unity is up to you

coarse shore
#

Yh

craggy oxide
#

it doesn't matter too much to the people in here

#

but you need to learn the basics

coarse shore
#

How did u learn unity

craggy oxide
#

they won't help you with basics, they'll just send you to some tutorials

coarse shore
#

Or c#

craggy oxide
# coarse shore How did *u* learn unity

a mixture of different tutorials really.
i watched some tutorials on basic C#
i watched some tutorials on Unity Learn website
i watched some third-party tutorials on YouTube

took me a few weeks but i got the basics and now im qualified to ask questions here

#

but in all honesty, most of the time I don't need help anymore

#

once you learn the basics your guess is as good as theirs

coarse shore
#

BRO I CANT SAY W?

#

I js typed the letter "W"

#

And it said i couldnt

craggy oxide
#

🤷‍♂️

coarse shore
#

Damn

craggy oxide
#

if I was in charge of this place i'd create a new channel for COMPLETE beginners and i'd be more than willing to help you

coarse shore
#

Its prob single letters to revent spam

craggy oxide
#

but the rules are rules, you gotta do some of the legwork yourself unfortunately

#

to be honest that's what separates the game devs from the quitters, being able to get past that first step, trying things alone

coarse shore
#

Like there should be a dictionary

craggy oxide
#

oh there is

#

!docs

eternal falconBOT
craggy oxide
#

there is the complete list of commands lmao

coarse shore
#

Damn

craggy oxide
#

if you mean basic C# stuff, take some tutorials on that

coarse shore
#

Which one

#

Api or manual

craggy oxide
#

honestly i barely read it so i dunno

#

let's say... manual

coarse shore
#

Lol

#

Alr ty

craggy oxide
#

actually look at API and Manual

#

the stuff you actually need is on the left side

coarse shore
#

Alr

craggy oxide
#

im gonna be honest i wouldn't bother reading the documentation in order to learn the basics

coarse shore
#

Do u have a yt channel that teaches the basics?

craggy oxide
#

too many commands, 99% of them you'll never need (for now)

coarse shore
#

Like a yt channel recommendedation

craggy oxide
#

theres others

#

depends on how much patience you have

coarse shore
#

Do they have a playlist or do they teach while they make codes

coarse shore
#

And he helped me a ton

craggy oxide

#

Alr ty

craggy oxide
#

i highly recommend watching Dave GameDevelopment's series on player movement

coarse shore
#

But do they have a playlist dedicated to teaching the basics of c#?

craggy oxide

WASD movement, jumping, sliding downhill, swinging

#

its got it all

# coarse shore How did *u* learn unity

I started by watching tutorials on game programming and simply copied the code for about 14 hours over 2 days, just to get familiar with the engine. Then I continued watching until I had about 23 hours, exploring various tutorials, including ones on C+ and Unity. After that, I began creating my own games, with the goal of making a cube that moves and has enemies. I kept working on it until it functioned properly. If I didn't know something, I looked it up, but as soon as I understood it, I deleted it and rewrote it from scratch as a learning exercise. For example, I wrote the movement script about 20 times until I grasped it, lol. You can't really copy because everyone writes their scripts differently, but you can get inspired and then try to rewrite your script. Don't copy too much, try to learn, so you understand when an error occurs, and it gets easier every day. I'm still a beginner myself, with only 65 hours of practice in Unity, but there's so much more I can achieve than I thought

craggy oxide
# coarse shore Alr

you may never use the swinging or sliding but you will learn a lot about C# from it

#

watch it anyway, even if you never use the end product you can get a lot of value from seeing how its done

coarse shore
#

Yh

craggy oxide
#

i know you said you don't like the Unity tutorials

#

have you tried the Unity Learn website

yup, the beginner scripting course is very boring but the junior programmer course actually makes a lot of sense

coarse shore
#

Its the voice that annoys me 💀

craggy oxide
#

i learnt a LOT from the junior programmer course because it shows you the basics of actual small games you could make

coarse shore
#

Should i do juniot programmer instead?

Can you guys make a thread if you use this channel for general chatter?

Hi. 1-2 days ago i was complaining that my ragdoll does wierd stuff when activated (like doing little jump in the air, spinning around like a ballerina, or straight catapulting into the void) however sometimes they behave exactly as i wanted. I noticed that they start to behave wierd after one of my game mechanism (slow motion). I did a little test now without the slow mo and all ragdoll were 100% good, not a single one glitched. Can somebody explain why this happens?

hello!ive got a question ,
i had an idea that when the player character approaches an object/NPC , it would trigger an event wich in it would show a simple UI telling to press a button on the keyboard, after pressing the Button it would
Either A : Play an Video of a Animation dedicated for that object
Or B :The camera would transfer to a different place in the world and play the animation in game

#

my question being , wich would be better
the option A or B
and how would i execute the entire event

#

i thought at first to just create a simple hitbox around the object that would trigger the UI pop up and then just wait for the player to hit the button, im asking if this is a good way of doing it or if theres a smarter way of doing it

hexed terrace
#

A or B depends on your game, B allows for a dynamic cutscene that takes into account the current state of the game, A allows for the scene to play out exactly how you want with no intereference from the current game setup.

What if every iteration does an i++ and --i?

#

It should still yield though and not freeze

#

Maybe you've got something else going on as well in the method called?

#

Comment stuff out and see if the freeze goes away. The method call lines, specifically.

#

You've got a few: choose next platform, spawn platform, and backtrack platform.

languid spire
#

yes, and your loop will never end

rare basin
#

your loop is infinite

hallow iris
#

can any one tell me how to add acceleration and deceleration in to this

image.png image.png
languid spire
#

so log i and prove it

hallow iris
#

any suggestions or docs to read would be appriciated

languid spire
#

that is what you think will happen, what actually happens is an infinite loop

#

well that, obviousluy is not happening

ivory bobcat
languid spire
#

logic dictates that the only way that loop can be infinite is if i-- is executed more than i++, so it's up to you to find out why

ivory bobcat
#

Ignoring that, you're probably freezing the editor because of one of your method calls

hallow iris
ivory bobcat
#

Comment out the stuff in the coroutine and slowly add lines from the top back

languid spire
#

looking at your code

            if (platforms.Count > 0)
            {
                BacktrackLastPlatform();

I presume BacktrackLastPlatform should remove entries from platforms, my guess is this is not happening

hey, im attempting to make an FPS character controller. ive used rigidbody and when i apply horizontal force it makes my character bounce like crazy. does anyone know why this could be happening?

 private void CalculateGroundMovement()
 {
     //Vector3 wishDir = inputMovement * transform.forward;
     Vector3 wishDir = Vector3.Normalize(inputMovement.y * transform.forward + inputMovement.x * transform.right);

     float wishSpeed = wishDir.magnitude * maxSpeed / 100; // will turn into variable depending on crouch/sprint status

     float currentSpeed = Vector3.Dot(velocity, wishDir);
     float addSpeed = wishSpeed - currentSpeed;
     float accelSpeed = Mathf.Min(accel * Time.deltaTime * wishSpeed, addSpeed);
     velocity += accelSpeed * wishDir;


     float speed = velocity.magnitude;
     float drop = speed * friction * Time.deltaTime;

     float newSpeed = Mathf.Max(speed - drop, 0);
     if (speed > 0) newSpeed /= speed;
     velocity *= newSpeed;
     //characterController.Move(velocity);
     rb.velocity += velocity;```

# stoic spear

Have the scene view visible too and see what your object is doing

#

You can place them side-by-side

stoic spear
ivory bobcat
#

Is it hopping because of friction?

#

What shape is the collider?

stoic spear
#

maybe. would a default physic material have friction built in?

#

maybe ill add a custom pmat with 0 friction

ivory bobcat
#

If you've got a sphere and are adding velocity in a single direction, it'll roll/hop.

stoic spear
#

collider is a box

#

well changing to capsule collider and adding the pmat have made it slightly better, but im still vibrating up and down a bit

#

also it seems to completely ignore my own friction calculation

ivory bobcat
#

Log the values

stoic spear
#

which ones?

ivory bobcat
#

Speed and friction

stoic spear
#

well friction is a constant, do you mean drop?

ivory bobcat
#

If any are zero, drop will have a value of zero regardless of the value of the other

stoic spear
#

neither are zero

#

unless im stationary

ivory bobcat
#

So if you're staying still the drop will have a value of zero, is that what's to be expected?

stoic spear
#

not sure what you mean, sorry

ivory bobcat
#

There really isn't enough info to determine what's going on. My initial assumption was that your object was rolling around while the camera had some fixed orientation. My second assumption was that your calculation above applies too much downwards force, requiring the object to have a large directional velocity to escape the resistance from friction.

#

I'm not really sure anymore. I suggest playing around with the values and seeing if reducing gravity (I'm assuming drop is gravity) affects the resulting behavior.

stoic spear
#

im only doing calculation on X and Z, thats the bit that confuses me

#

drop is the friction

#

it was working perfectly when i was using CharacterController, however that made it difficult to do jumping

wintry quarry
#

and does that object tilt up/down when you look up/down?

hallow iris
#

how to add acceleration to my movement code so that the player doesn't just out right start with the top speed

📎 message.txt
wintry quarry
#

because you're using transform.forward for your wishDir

hallow iris
#

stoic spear

So i am making a lil player verses player for my game but i have a small issue. The player goes around the map, getting Guns, when a gun is collected it will disappear. The issue is if the player picks up another gun, or leaves, the gun that they picked up disappears. How can I get the Gun back? I dont want it to spawn back after a certain amount of time as that would lead to the rarity of guns not mattering. How can i do this?

i'd just say though that you should consider whether unity's physics system (e.g,. forces, gravity, mass) already provides what you need

forget the diffcult math.. Use this 🙂

like if you add force constantly based on input, it will have a smooth velocity change rather than achieving instant top speed

Wizard does not derive from monobehaviour. Update will never be called

public Wizard(string name, float health) : base(name,health)

being a monobehaviour and defining a constructor are effectively mutually exclusive

Also you can just call Update on things. It's just a function like any other

how is saying that monobehaviour and calling constructor are mutually exclusive considered style policing lmao

Hello Guys im New to Unity and Coding! I have big troubles solving a kinda random problem thats occuring.
Im Using a Complete Guide to Creating Flappy Bird from Zigorous.
I Did install Unity and Visual Studios and made my Way through the Video until 46:44 / 1:06:46.
I Followed every Step until there and had no compiling Errors until a Big yet seemingly unsolvable Issue.
I Already Redid my Whole Project and Coded it from Scratch again until 46:44 and i think maybe its an guide issue as i get the same Error again.

My Current Problem is that my Player refuses to Collide with my Objects ( Pipes) and Scoring ( Middle Part) . Even with Debug Information given and applied to the Code the Console wont give me out any information whats going wrong. My Game Manager Script also not Counting the Given Score when Flying through the Obstacles.

I know u need more Information or Code or Pictures, my Question now is if anyone can help me solve that Problem and what u need from me to help u helping me ^^

Thanks in Advance. I overdid all my codes with chatgpt , went through solving steps from layers to rigidbody to collider scaling through code checkup etc etc. nothing seems to work and chatgpt is just recalling the same steps now over and over and i pretty much fixed and did every step i got called.

Well should have done the visual studio setup beforehand , now looks way more than the tutorial video

buoyant knot
#

just in general, a gameobject has like a list of different components. each component does different things. some are built in, and some are written by you.
Colliders handle an object maintaining a shape(s) to interact with physics system.
Rigidbody handles moving the object while respecting physics, AND sending callbacks when you hit stuff

where are u seeing this

whos "it says"

buoyant knot
#

unity learn starts by blowing smoke up your ass, followed by theory, before you get to anything functional.

The flappy bird tutorial goes through the basics of getting everything set up, and you’ve seen the basic pieces that you will use all the time. Even if you don’t have the full knowledge

#

Then afterwards, Unity learn can help, because you’ve effectively had a tour of unity already

when i click unity learn it says my membership doenst support this. when i go to the official unity websites and look up the plans it only gives me the 2000 dollar ones or the student version which i am not

i would start with flappy bird, then think about what sort of game you actually want to make. Pick simple games that help build up to that skillset

#

like if your dream is to make an FPS, I would pick a simple first person 3D game or something for my second game

#

if you dream of making a sidescroller, go for a 2D platformer second

if you prefer the abstract, go for 2D galaga or brick break, as randomUnityInvader said

try writing:

#

either a reference to each individual child object, so you can GetComponent to access the specific component that is relevant.
Or a reference to the specific components directly.

#

but if you don’t have a way to tell each obj appart, you will be SOL. Which is why you should get references

how do i separately reference two components with the same name?

depends. do you want to make a list, or do you want specific individual variables to call out to specific object’s components?

summer stump
buoyant knot
#

if i am making a gundam, I might want separate fields for leftArm, rightArm, leftLeg, rightLeg.

#

but if I’m making a menu where I just need to turn everything in a list On/Off, then I probably want a list

rich adder
dreamy fulcrum
#

ok wait let me explain my confusion

buoyant knot
#

i don’t understand the issue.
If you write a field that is serialized, inspector gives you a single one box to put a reference to ONE thing of that type to go into it.

#

if you make a list, then you get a whole list

#

which can have a variable number of entries

rocky canyon
dreamy fulcrum
#

this script has a SerializedField, if i drag a new component (or GameObject in this case) onto the serialized field it will be replaced right? i want to be able to affect every component of these several children

but i have no clue what either of those settings do @rich adder hence why i dont do WebGL very often

that variable is one thing. you can’t have two things

it doesn’t make the other object disappear, if that’s what you mean

thats going to be a lot of fields

then maybe you want to structure this differently

summer stump

#

so you are not lost. you know what that entails

dreamy fulcrum
#

yeah?

#

alright ill try a list

buoyant knot
#

if you go for a list, but want to tell the different things apart, then you probably want a component to be able to ID them

abstract marlin

such as

    public enum BoneID { Hip, Belly, Arm }
     [SerializeField] private BoneID boneID;

rich adder
dreamy fulcrum
#

i just want to turn a entire row of HingeJoints off when i flip my character rig

buoyant knot
#

then your parent script has a List<BoneIdentifier>, and each bone has a BoneIdentifier on it, where you fill out its BoneID field with the value the represents what you care about

summer stump
buoyant knot
dreamy fulcrum
#

i mean all of my children have two HingeJoint components

buoyant knot
#

then give each BoneIdentifier 2 HingeJoint fields

#

and label them differently

dreamy fulcrum
#

cant i just create two different SerializeField lists and disable/enable one of them when i flip my character

#

is the ID-ing necessary?

buoyant knot
#

listen, man. I gave you some ideas. If you don’t like them for your specific use case, don’t use them

rocky canyon
#

you can use two lists.. and change which one ur reading / writing / using..

#

u wouldn't necessarily disable em

buoyant knot
#

you asked how to reference multiple components individually when they are the same type, but on different children.

#

that is what you were given, in 3 different ways

how you choose to lay it out is your choice

Horsepork!!

#

I'M BACK BABEE

queen adder
#

I just got here lmao

#

Need some help?

wind raptor
#

Buckle up, I don't even know how to ask what I'm asking.

low path
#

lol

wind raptor
#

Is there a way for an object besides a mouse or keyboard to interact with a Selectable UI element?

queen adder
#

You mean like a controller?

#

Or like an eye tractor or vr?

#

Or do u mean a gameobject that's in the game?

wind raptor
#

Yes, some gameobject.

queen adder
#

Don't make it UI

wind raptor
#

For context, this is a faux computer terminal that players in an escape room interact with using a mouse and keyboard. Only I don't want them to have access to an actual mouse and keyboard, so I'm sending HID codes via a microcontroller that Unity processes to determine keypresses and the mouse lcoation. That side of things is done

queen adder
#

Or actually there's world space UI

wind raptor
#

So I have my faux mouse object which has an x and y dimension. It would be really convenient if said mouse could interact with a UI just like a regular mouse

queen adder
#

Faux?

#

HID Codes?

wind raptor
#

USB mouse sends HID codes to micrcontroller as USB host which sends them via Serial to Unity after some processing/error checking

queen adder
#

Is this a IRL escape room?

wind raptor
#

Point being, I have an object with an X and Y that I would like to be able to interface with UI elements

#

yes

low path
#

you want to manually trigger UI events?

wind raptor
#

Yeah, and have the visual effects that come prebuilt in the UI elements, like highlighting on mouseover

queen adder
#

This is confusing from my perspective

wind raptor
#

And, if I'm testing, I'd like to be able to use an actual mouse rather than be forced to use my in-room mouse

queen adder
#

If u already have a mouse and keyboard that the players use why then also have a fake mouse and keyboard under the hood

#

I might just be misunderstanding

#

On the players side how do they interact with the game?

wind raptor
#

Players do not have access to a real mouse and keyboard. Only the fake one that prevents them from exiting the program or moving the cursor into a different screen which is displaying something unrelated to their terminal.

queen adder
#

But it's a mouse and keyboard? theyre just custom made to prevent them from exiting the program

wind raptor
#

Sorta. It's a generic mouse and generic keyboard. But there is the "buffer" of my microcontroller in between the two so that the Unity application doesn't treat them like an actual mouse and keyboard.

queen adder
#

Right that makes sense

slender nymph
queen adder
#

You could just hard code that the mouse doesn't exit a certain bounds

winged meadow
#

guys... can i backup an old save that have been replaced of a visual studio script ?

rich adder
#

if you didn't make backups prior, maybe try Ctrl Z in the script otherwise you're out of luck

queen adder
#

So whenever the fake mouse moves just get the Vector2s direction and add that to the real mouses position. If that's possible

wind raptor
low path
#

so the biggest issue is mostly that you have unity UI elements and you want them to use your custom inputs?

wind raptor
#

And, unless I've missed something, I can't find a way to have multiple actual USB mice, one of which is limited to a specifc application or space.

wind raptor
slender nymph
queen adder
#

Sounds good!! I had feeling you would have to use the new input system

wind raptor
#

In addition to standard inputs for testing/override purposes

slender nymph
#

but that isn't even necessary when you can just raycast against the canvas manually

low path
#

can you send key presses into the UI event system using the Input System?

wind raptor
#

Like, could I? Or could someone who knows stuff?

low path
#

i was asking boxfriend

#

like it would suck to have to write a translation layer over unity's ui system... it would be best ify ou could just trigger like... "move mouse" and "press key..."

#

i'm not sure how that would be done if it's possible

queen adder
#

I don't think it's that hard tbh

#

Just have the fake mouse influence the real one

#

And you can just check what ur hovering

low path
#

what about clicks?

queen adder
#

Use one of the UI interfaces

#

IPointerEnter, exit , etc

wind raptor
low path
#

like it'd be nice if you could say "UnityEvent.Execute (RightClick)" or something like that

slender nymph
#

you just raycast from the event system and do what you need to with whatever is returned on whatever button press you'd like

queen adder
#

You basically do that with the interface

#

IPointerDown

low path
#

oh well then maybe that's the answer. is that what box is saying?

slender nymph
#

no, because the interfaces are mostly irrelevant to what i'm saying except for when you want to call those interface methods

queen adder
#

If u want to check for multiple usbs u have to use the new input system I'm pretty sure

#

He's talking about raycasting to the canvas which is different

#

I prefer just using the interface

#

Also horsepork I don't really understand what u want?

low path
#

So what you can just call "mouse.warp(position)" and "PointerDown()" or something?

queen adder
#

You have ur class inherit from IPointerDown

#

It should make a method like OnPointerDown()

#

You define what u want to happen inside the method which will be called when the Right mouse click happens

low path
#

i think that's the opposite of what horsepork wants, no?

#

like "onpointerdown" will still respond to the actual mouse?

#

what he wants is a way to trigger onpointerdown with his hardware device?

queen adder
#

I thought you wanted help Hambones my apology

low path
#

sorry i'm not trying to be a jerk, just trying to figure this out

queen adder
#

No ur not a jerk lmao. I was the one confused. It's my fault senpai

wind raptor
low path
#

lol

queen adder
#

If u want ONE mouse to be constructed to unity

low path
#

so... i think what box might be saying is... do the ray cast and that will give you the appropriate unity ui element. then you can just call the function on that element based on the input that happens.

#

so like... just find the element with the ray cast and then call "onmousedown()" or something?

queen adder
#

That seems like something you have to do on a OS level

wind raptor
#

...sorry, I hope I'm tracking. I want one REAL mouse, actually connected via USB and fully functional, but not accessible by the player. I want one FAKE mouse, constrained to a specific window, used by the player, which for all intents and purposes, UI-wise, acts like a mouse for that given window/canvas.

Sounds like raycasting may be what I need to do

#

And I guess same for a keyboard object.

queen adder
#

The real mouse can influence the game and outside the game

wind raptor
#

Which is fine

#

Correct

queen adder
#

Then just have the fake mouse in the game?

low path
#

i think making a fake cursor is pretty easy

wind raptor
queen adder
#

Have the fake mouse constrained to the window

wind raptor
#

Yes

low path
queen adder
#

I don't understand the problem lmao

low path
#

sounds like a cool project, horsepork

queen adder
#

If the mouse is already in the game view it will pick up any mouse events

low path
#

the mouse doesn't pick up the events, it generates them

#

it's not being touched, though, it's physically hidden

#

so you're just "mocking up" these events for a separate device

#

so you're just separately generating the events programmatically

wind raptor
#

Yes

queen adder
#

Then just listen for any mouse clicks via the new input system

wind raptor
#

I don't know how to make my fake mouse object , which presently just contains x and y data and boolean click states, simulate a "real" mouse click, albeit with some contraints imposed. That's what I'm working to figure out.

queen adder
#

Are all the mouses connected to the same machine?

#

hello

cosmic dagger
#

goodbye . . .

queen adder
#

how to make fps?

wind raptor
#

Unity/Windows has no idea that faux mouse is a faux mouse. Unity thinks it's a game object with a couple floats and booleans

polar acorn
queen adder
#

Whatever data you send to unity should contain some X,Y / Vector2 information so it can influence the fake mouse

wind raptor
#

Correct. And it does.

#

And it is processed into my fake mouse object so that it knows its x and y positions and whether or not it is clicking

queen adder
#

So unity already picks up all of the player mouse events already

#

I'm just asking to make sure I completely understand. Because this shouldn't be hard

wind raptor
#

Sure, and I really do appreciate you taking the time to help.

queen adder
#

If it's a gameobject instead of a actual mouse cursor you can check the gameobjects screen coords maybe? And see if the UI is on those coords or something like that.

I want it to interact with the UI elements in the same way that an actual mouse does. So onenter, onexit, onpointerdown, etc.

Also box was probably right

#

Just shoot a raycast to the canvas from the gameobjects position

#

You can freely call things like OnPointerEnter like normal functions in addition to the Event System doing it

queen adder
#

You can probably just make a fake cursor for unity

#

NOW I UNDERSTAND UR PROBLEM

#

It's because u don't have a real cursor

wind raptor
queen adder
#

Ur using a gameobject

wind raptor
#

Right

polar acorn
#

Or do you mean what should be doing it in the new system?

#

The Fake Mouse script should be fine

#

Raycast from the camera, look for things that implement IPointerWhateverHandler and if you find them, call the function on em

How would I go about create multiple cursors controlled by multiple...

Hello! I’m trying to recreate (What I thought would be a very easy system). I simple want to have multiple cursor controlled by multiple players using either the keyboard and mouse or gamepads. A reference is the system in Ultimate chicken horse. I’ve so far managed to be able to move two UI objects using a mouse to control one and a gamepad to...

Man I wish I didn't hate that guy's voice so much

queen adder
#

Haha lmao

#

But basically you have a fake cursor so u get ur cursor events

wind raptor
#

But yeah this I think might be exactly what I want.

#

Jesus christ sorry that took so long

wind raptor

Ha, no worries!

But I do expect you back here at 2 pm sharp tomorrow for my next convoluted problem

I hang here alot so I look forward to it

#

Lmk how it goes

If a line in my text file is "a" and i want it to be "ab" is there a way to add on "b" without rewriting the entire line? Im using StreamWriter

#

This isnt a unity question actually sorry

#

i have accidently removed a important prefab and its a lot of work to remake this but i still have the build with everything intact is it possible to go back to the unity version and edit this in unity

polar acorn
icy junco
#

yesawkwardsweat

low path
#

you want to extract a prefab from a game build?

icy junco
#

yes if possible?

low path
#

i don't know if that's directly possible...

#

you might be able to get an in game inspector and recreate it that way...

icy junco
#

with this tool i can recreate prefabs that are in my build?

low path
#

well at the very least it will let you see the contents of the prefab and then you can recreate it manually...

#

um... not sure if you can directly see the prefab itself, just instances of it

#

i don't k now if it lets you actually extract a prefab automatically

#

if you just have a build, not a project, this might not work? i'm not sure, sorry

#

i guess if you had the project, you'd also have th eprefab...

icy junco
#

i have the project and the build of before when i still had the prefab i just deleted it out of my own project

low path
#

i'm not sure, sorry

Am I making a simple mistake or smth?

slender nymph
#

switch statements do not work like that

hybrid gust
#

Could you elaborate?

slender nymph
hybrid gust
#

Maybe I am missing something but this explains HOW a switch statement works, but doesn't explain why I can't do what i wrote

#

I guess I'm confused cause If I look at the docs, I'm doing the exact same thing the docs are doing, except instead of case < int, I'm doing case == InputActionMap.

lofty sequoia
hybrid gust
#

Gotcha, yeah I just now noticed that and removed the == and got this

image.png
low path
#

yeah um... you can't just use cases with any expression...

hybrid gust
#

I'm not stuck on the switch thing I was just wondering

low path
#

you can have it equal a constant or you can do pattern matching, and pattern matching has rules

hybrid gust
#

The more you know

lofty sequoia
#

there are restrictions on switch cases. If you're going to run something based on the type you'd have to compare the type with an if statement

#

if you're basing it on the index of controls action map, you could say if index is 1, 2, 3, 4 etc

hybrid gust

Thanks though, learning something new everyday

is it possible to modify a physics material through code when a game is running?

or will the values only take effect on awake?

this is what happens currently and i want the plane to fall more when the angle gets too high and ive tried for about 10 mins now cant figure out does anybody know what i could do. Also this is my code: https://paste.ofcode.org/L2yGNu2M3QGNxS9HQMYmnv
It is extremely simple and the whole thing heavely relys on the unity physics system.

hey so im looking for a second opinion:

i have a file structure for my textures:
Resources/Textures/<Theme>/<Wall, Floor, Ceiling etc.>/
and ive decided to cache the file structure on build so i can load textures selectively at runtime.
would it be reasonable to make a multi-dimensional array like this rather than loading it all into a single array? alternatives would be appreciated
pseudo:

string[,,]
string["theme", "surface", "texture"]
supple citrus
#

this foreach loop isn't working as intended

#

because the properties are the same for each set that it outputs

#

which means its just doing the same planet over and over again

#

whats the correct way to do this?

#

I just want to go through every planet currently in the scene

#

or maybe this is the correct method and im just doing it wrong

frigid sequoia
#

If I instantiate an object and give it a component with an awake method, does the awake method trigger immidiatly?

no matter what i do this file wont download and i dont know what to do
