public float anotherOne;```

[rocky canyon]

put ur foot down! (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻

[summer stump]

Ok, now type transform. into start

With the dot

[quick pollen]

wdym

oh

sorry

nvm

[queen adder]

so since you guys didnt reply Im thinking it was cool right?

[quick pollen]

okay so

the thing is

I don't know what types I'll have

[rich adder]

cool?

[quick pollen]

I basically want to create new types

[rocky canyon]

https://gamedevbeginner.com/enums-in-unity/

[quick pollen]

as I go

[rich adder]

enums

[queen adder]

yeah these
https://gdl.space/odicesuqor.cs
https://gdl.space/ugipiboron.cs

[rocky canyon]

you can add to the enums as you go

[quick pollen]

brother

[rich adder]

if you have too many, use Scriptable objects

[quick pollen]

read what I said

[rocky canyon]

we read it

[rich adder]

new types?

[quick pollen]

enum Level 
{
  Low,
  Medium,
  High
}```

this is a declaration for an enum

yea?

[rich adder]

yes

[quick pollen]

I don't know what to put between the brackets

[rocky canyon]

you can name em ANYTHING u want

[rich adder]

they are just numbers

[quick pollen]

but I don't even know how many I have

[rocky canyon]

sounds like a design issue

[rich adder]

but human legible

[queen adder]

soooo it is cool right?

[quick pollen]

no, I just want it to be flexible

[summer stump]

Add more when needed

[quick pollen]

I want to be able to create afterimages for any object

not just one

[summer stump]

We asked what cool meant
You linked code

[rich adder]

is it not working>? idk what ur asking

[queen adder]

clean and optimized. its working

can it get any cleaner?

[rocky canyon]

then ur good 👍

[rich adder]

just make ur game

[rocky canyon]

probably..

[rich adder]

dont worry about that now

[queen adder]

ehh you dont know me Im kinda obsessed

[rich adder]

@queen adder as long as YOU can read it, thats all it matters

[quick pollen]

This is what it looks like
Every "Object to be After Imaged" needs to be a type

[rocky canyon]

but u sacrafice readibility the more cleaner it gets

[queen adder]

Omg

enum Types {Belt, Sword, Shield, Legplate,etc}

[queen adder]

I dont care can you tell me what can I do for that?

which lines

You can just add on to the enum later

[summer stump]

Looks fine. I don't really like the lambdas for the methods, but that's just me

[rich adder]

#💻┃code-beginner message

[queen adder]

You can modify the enum at anytime

[quick pollen]

yea
but what if I want afterimages for a different character that has more stuff? do I write a whole new script for that? do I extend the code every time?

[rocky canyon]

bro they look pretty clean already

[queen adder]

hell yeaah that made my day

[rocky canyon]

even using => like every chance u get

😄

[rich adder]

You should make it a class or scriptable object if you want to add the parts dynamically

[quick pollen]

yeahhhh so back to the original idea

[queen adder]

A scriptable object with a enum instance is a fantastic idea

[quick pollen]

i dont think scriptableobject is needed cuz i wont have too many

[rich adder]

but you havent hit that point though

so enum would be fine

[quick pollen]

ill just use classes I think

[queen adder]

Your game could 100% benefit from scriptable objects if u have a inventory system

[quick pollen]

cuz i dont know how many types I'll have

[quick pollen]

i mean
it wont

[queen adder]

A scriptable object is a class

[quick pollen]

I'll use scriptable objects when I need to do stuff like settings

because their data can be carried over scenes

[summer stump]

This sounds like a bad use for SOs

[queen adder]

thanks. I have big plans like in the future for optimization I wanna make a very very very big game and I wanna make sure everyone can play it so gotta do it right from the start yeah 😉

[rocky canyon]

really u should be learning how to use DDOL objects by then

[queen adder]

Thats EXACTLY why you should use them??

[summer stump]

You want them to be immutable mostly

[quick pollen]

how else do you carry data over scenes then

[rocky canyon]

and have multiple scenes running at once..

[quick pollen]

I gave an example??

[rocky canyon]

with one scene having all ur data that carries over

[quick pollen]

I said "stuff like"

[summer stump]

DDOL and AdditiveScenes
Certainly not SOs
SOs should be immutable

[quick pollen]

we kinda strafed off the main topic of this

[queen adder]

You can just check what the enum type is on the scriptable object thats attached to the gameobject

[quick pollen]

I'm not as knowledgable in Unity as you guys

[queen adder]

Thats why were trying to help u 🙂

[rich adder]

true but there is a balance to that, don't limit yourself to doing everything optimized. the prototyping stage can suffer
optmizie where its needed later on by profiling

[quick pollen]

but I'm getting even more confused

thats the issue

I'm just getting dragged into other things

[queen adder]

If its a new topic to u ofc ur going to be confused

[quick pollen]

and I spend more time discussing the issue than solving it

[summer stump]

Then step out and let it marinate instead of asking more

You changed the topic and we responded

[queen adder]

But ur not even trying our ideas or to learn stuff

[queen adder]

thanks I hope you go to heaven and aethenosity too 🙂 peace out

[quick summit]

so the one after the dot shows the drop down list, but the one before the dot only shows an inline autosuggestion (without the drop down list)

[quick pollen]

but its a new topic and before we even get to the halfway point we start a new topic again

[quick pollen]

thats what I should've done yeah

[summer stump]

Yes. Correct
So it's working!

[queen adder]

Try and learn some of the stuff were saying tho

Even if its a little bit a time

[rocky canyon]

thats how it functions..

[unreal imp]

you deserve a freind 👍

[quick summit]

is it possbile to show the dropdown list for the one before the dot? like in this pic

[summer stump]

You did lowercase t

And lowercase g

[queen adder]

It cant do a drop down list of available methods for a specifc class if it doesnt know what class ur even trying to type?

[rocky canyon]

if it has multiple possibilities with the same characters u starting typing they'll show

[summer stump]

Might be settings. Dunno

[rich adder]

haha

[rich adder]

well hopefully not too soon

[quick pollen]

I will slowly, but rn I was given 13 new keywords

and I can't just learn them instantly

[rich adder]

guess not

[quick pollen]

I can learn fast, sure

but not THAT fast

[queen adder]

I feel u

But you should step away and learn the topics

[quick pollen]

tho I do understand how enums would work

and where I could use them

[rocky canyon]

• Enums
• DontDestroyOnLoad
• AdditiveScenes

[quick pollen]

i actually just thought of a system I could enhance

[queen adder]

Coding is about problem solving. You dont know the tools ur using and ur trying to build a house

[rocky canyon]

they like presets..

[quick pollen]

the scene thing is a bit more irrelevant rn

[queen adder]

Learn ur tools first!!

[quick pollen]

yea I get it

[rocky canyon]

uset the object to be one of the presets then a switch statement asks 'what preset u using'

ohh, then do this

[quick pollen]

well I like testing the tool out on different things to learn it

[summer stump]

It's pretty important to stop using SOs to move data between scenes, I'd say

[quick pollen]

Its hard for me to learn by just reading the documentation

[quick pollen]

ive never done it

i dont even have multiple scenes

[summer stump]

Ok good good

[quick pollen]

I just said what I thought you could use SOs for

cuz one time I asked how to do it

and I was told to use SOs

[queen adder]

If its an enum on a SO i think thats fine personally

Well i guess just a MB is fine to

[rocky canyon]

ya, but our point is not to use SO's to transfer data between scenes

sillyness

[summer stump]

SOs are kinda like prefabs. File assets used to give you variants. But they are for data

[quick pollen]

now how can I iterate through my list of afterImages

is what my issue is

[rocky canyon]

for loop

[quick pollen]

but i dont need all of them

[rocky canyon]

foreach loop

[quick summit]

i found the problem guys, i might have put it on inline accidently before according to a tutorial xd

[rocky canyon]

it doesnt matter

[quick summit]

thanks all

[rocky canyon]

u have to loop thru it in order..

[queen adder]

You do need to see what each object is in that list?

[rocky canyon]

and then do what u need to witht he ones u need

[summer stump]

Use the continue keyword on ones you don't need

[quick pollen]

what I want to do is grab the x pieces from the array that I want to use as an afterimage

[rocky canyon]

ya but u cant selectively use parts of alist w/o knowing their specific index

a for loop is almost always needed

[quick pollen]

I would kinda need a stack

[rocky canyon]

i mean.. if u can idk how

[quick pollen]

or an array of arrays

[rocky canyon]

list of lists

[quick pollen]

yeah list of lists

[rocky canyon]

frog on a log from the bottom of the sea

[summer stump]

Or just nested for loops

[queen adder]

You dont need a list of list

You have a list with the items u took a picture of i would then make a seperate list with items u actually care about

[quick pollen]

a list for the "afterimage types" and each of those being a list for the actual afterimage objects

[rocky canyon]

yea a seperate list makes more sense u right

[quick pollen]

wdym actually care about

omg

its so hard to explain like this

what I want to do

is take a character

take all of its equipment

[rocky canyon]

dont explain it in 1 word lines plz

[rich adder]

if you cant explain it will be hard to solve 🙂

[queen adder]

Oh i guess that makes sense

[rich adder]

try rubber duck debugging and come back

[quick pollen]

but if I type it in a single line then itll be even harder

[rocky canyon]

this guy ^ 🙄

[quick pollen]

i dont even know how to begin to write the code, let alone debug it

[queen adder]

U need to make a enum bro

[rich adder]

rubber Duck Debugging has nothing to do with writing code

[queen adder]

try some code and get back to us

[quick pollen]

the part with creating the arrays and the afterimage clones works perfetly

[queen adder]

This a circular conversation at this point

[quick pollen]

oh my fucking god we just went over why this doesnt work

[queen adder]

Bro you havent tried anything weve suggested

[quick pollen]

the types in an enum need to be pre-declared

[rich adder]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubber_duck_debugging @quick pollen

[quick pollen]

u cant declare new ones at runtime

can you

[queen adder]

No u cant

[quick pollen]

thats my point

[queen adder]

But u wont being make new types at runtime

[rocky canyon]

runtime was a keyword u shoulda used on the first lap of this convo

[rich adder]

why do you need to make types at runtime

[queen adder]

U already have a set of types u need

A sword a shield etc

[rich adder]

you should be asking yourself those things

[quick pollen]

ok im exiting this convo

[queen adder]

Your not making a a new thing at runtime

[quick pollen]

i know yall want to help

but at this point its getting more and more chaotic

[queen adder]

Alright lol

[rich adder]

again, if you can't explain it you wont be able to solve it.

[quick pollen]

thanks for the help overall

[summer stump]

Enum is the standard for this for sure

[rich adder]

Figure out how to put your problems into words, you might solve it yourself

[quick pollen]

im not gonna explain 10 times why it isnt

[queen adder]

U havent tried it but ok

[summer stump]

It is.

[quick pollen]

because it wouldnt work

i just asked how to do smth and u said u cant

[queen adder]

How do u KNOW that

[summer stump]

You don't need to create them at runtime. It WOULD work

[quick pollen]

so what are we talking about

[rocky canyon]

#💻┃code-beginner message

[quick pollen]

BECAUSE YOU TOLD ME?

[rocky canyon]

called it a while ago

[queen adder]

Alright

[rich adder]

yes approaching design without knowing the tools available is never good

[rocky canyon]

u shouldnt need to be creating types at runtime..

are u creating AI

[quick pollen]

no

I already explained whatI want

[rocky canyon]

then ur overcomplicating it

[quick pollen]

I can't explain it 10x more

[rocky canyon]

u need to divide

not multiply

[summer stump]

There is absolutely no reason to create enums at runtime for what you explained
You explained why you don't need them 10x

[queen adder]

Figure out how many types ur game will have

Do that first

[rocky canyon]

you said u know we're trying tohelp..

we're trying to get u to do something that makes sense

[quick pollen]

I want it to be flexible

[rocky canyon]

ur going down the wrong road

[quick pollen]

I don't want to go in and write new code

for every single thing that needs to be afterimaged

[queen adder]

You can change the ENUM types at ANYTIME

Before compiling

[nocturne parcel]

What is an after image?

[north kiln]

Stop with the caps please.

[rich adder]

you have misunderstanding of what it is that was suggested then

[quick pollen]

But I don't know how many fucking enum types I will have?

[queen adder]

sorry

Thats not something for us to figure out

[nocturne parcel]

Use an interface

[rich adder]

Of course you do...

[rocky canyon]

this statement is where imma jump off this circuit

[nocturne parcel]

Any afterimageble object just inherits from the interface

[quick pollen]

some things I want to be afterimaged have 4, others have 6, others have 9

I don't want to write new code for each one

[rich adder]

so what is the Max?

thats where you start

[quick pollen]

there should be none

[nocturne parcel]

Then you make a generic function that accepts IAfterImage

and done

[quick pollen]

I wanted it to be flexible

and easily expandable

[rich adder]

is this assumptions or just

[quick pollen]

theoretically there should be infinite

[north kiln]

Can someone link me to the actual question

[nocturne parcel]

Yeah, i'd like to know too

[queen adder]

Alfy whats ur question

[quick pollen]

#💻┃code-beginner message

[rich adder]

I suggested ScriptableObject earlier then

they can be unlimited as you say without changing any base code

[nocturne parcel]

I'm not a native english speaker, what is an after image again?

[queen adder]

Humble start

[rich adder]

a "flashed "version of the visual
like a trail of images of character for example

[quick pollen]

we discussed that, I just use an int

[nocturne parcel]

Ah, I see

Yeah, i get it

[quick pollen]

the thing from my game as an example

basically the neon colored things

[nocturne parcel]

So, what is it not working?

[queen adder]

Even if there is Infinite objects those objects can be abstracted to a more generic type. A Ak-47 falls under a gun, A BMW falls under car, etc

[rocky canyon]

i dont think hes that far along..

[rich adder]

exactly why does it matter what specific thing is

[quick pollen]

because I need to know where to place it

I can't put the sword on the leg

[north kiln]

That's not really a complete question. You would generally use an enum; you're claiming you don't want to edit the code to add new types of things, and it seems like it's not been established why that is.
If you don't want to do that, then use some other form of tying ints to names, like a hash that relates to some description structure. But the question seems too imcomplete to really understand what you even need this for

[queen adder]

The enum would have those generic types predefined and you would use the more generic version of that thing to fill the slot

[rocky canyon]

even if u were here it would be the same deal..

[rich adder]

bunch of people saying enum, OP is not convinced lol

[floral kettle]

guys i fixed my problem, it was only 2 parameters

[queen adder]

NICE^^

Happy for ombudsman

[summer stump]

So enum for general type of item, and another value to give more precise location data, like transform to follow, which can be passed in to the class

[rich adder]

well then your IDE is not configured ?

[quick pollen]

it was elaborated further during the discussion, what I basically want is for these afterimages to copy the state of the player, appear for a bit, and then disappear

[floral kettle]

nah, i just didnt pay attention lmao

[nocturne parcel]

oh ok

[queen adder]

Wait what

U just want to spawn a copy of the player?

[quick pollen]

the player isnt just one object

its multiple objects

and I don't just wanna make a copy of a player

I want to be able to make a copy of anything

[rich adder]

a scriptable object tbh with all the parts you want for each char..

[quick pollen]

without having to rewrite scripts

[queen adder]

If u want a really dirty way of doing this

[pallid nymph]

are the objects you wanna copy in one hieararchy?

[queen adder]

Well actually no thats to dirty

[quick pollen]

i did instantiate

[rocky canyon]

he wants ALL the expandability and scaleability, with the codebase that he doesn't want to re-write

[pallid nymph]

under one root?

[north kiln]

I'm confused what you mean by state, and why you need to copy state if it's just a visual effect

[queen adder]

I wasnt going to say instantiate lol

[quick pollen]

sorry, I meant position and rotation and such

[rich adder]

store it in poco? or SO

[rocky canyon]

im here for the big reveal of what the actual issue is.. and think vertx if anyone can get to the bottom of it

[north kiln]

I don't really understand what the issue is, or why it needs to matter what type of object you're copying if it's just a visual effect

[rich adder]

true. although I agree that its not 100% clear what they want do with those pieces

[queen adder]

Youve got to be more specific

[quick pollen]

by type I mean like

sword

shield

whatever

[north kiln]

Yes, and why do you need that information at all if it's just visual

[quick pollen]

did you check the video

[north kiln]

Yes

[nocturne parcel]

For what I understand, he wants to position the after image in the right place. So the sword in the sword hand.

[quick pollen]

I want to take the character at a frame

take the transforms of all of its objects

then get all of the correct objects to get to the correct places

so an afterimage sword goes to where the sword is

[north kiln]

and again, why does it matter if something is a sword or a shield

[quick pollen]

an afterimage shield goes to where the shield is

etc

[north kiln]

it's just a meshfilter and a meshrenderer, or a skinnedmeshrenderer

[quick pollen]

because I don't want to put a legplate where the shield should be

[north kiln]

why would that ever happen

[queen adder]

Whats wrong with just spawning whatever the item is?

[pallid nymph]

I think it doesn't, they just don't understand it

[rich adder]

just store the positions and rotations?

[quick pollen]

I need the sword afterimage to go where the sword is, not the shield afterimage to go where the sword is

[north kiln]

Just loop over the transform hierarchy of the thing you want to copy, spawn the same transforms and copy the renderers

[nocturne parcel]

if you just use the current position, that would never happens, no? I could be wrong

[quick pollen]

i have those already

[rocky canyon]

this issue is post spawn..

he already spawns everything where it should be i think

[quick pollen]

whenever I initialize everything, I already have these

I have 10 of each element here

with everything they need

plus the character

so I spawn 10*8 objects

but then how do I know which object is which

[north kiln]

Why do you need to know

[quick pollen]

how do I know what object im putting where

[queen adder]

Oh god

Here we go again

[rocky canyon]

😅 we're on circuit 2

[quick pollen]

literally

[rocky canyon]

he doesnt have an answer

[queen adder]

You just need to spawn it where its at

[north kiln]

You are making a copy. If I want to retype what you said I don't need to know what words you used

[nocturne parcel]

Those objects don't have transforms?

[north kiln]

I just need to loop over the letters

[rocky canyon]

please indulge..

[rich adder]

ofc they do, they already stored them they said

[north kiln]

Or please don't lol

[rich adder]

so much for no caps

[quick pollen]

I want to activate them and set their transforms when its their turn to be active

[quick pollen]

problem is, I essentially don't know which letter is which

basically

I have 10 a's, 10 b's, etc

[rich adder]

Why does it matter which letter? a letter is a letter..

[quick pollen]

and then I have to recreate a word

[north kiln]

Why, you have the original object, why don't you know what you have

[pallid nymph]

aren't you already doing that in the video?

[quick pollen]

its using Instantiation which is extremely bad for performance

I instantiate and destroy 100+ objects every second

[pallid nymph]

ah, lovely, now I understand

[rocky canyon]

holy crap

[quick pollen]

thats why I want to have an object pool

of the different afterimage objects

[rocky canyon]

im confused why u destroy and instantiate.. and not just disable renderer and reposition

[quick pollen]

thats literally what i want to do

[north kiln]

You can do all this without knowing what type of object you have

[rocky canyon]

☝️ i think u just thoroughly confused tf outta everyone involved edit: u as in him

[quick pollen]

how do I know where I put an object if I don't know what it is

[north kiln]

The only 4 things that matter are: Transform, MeshFilter, MeshRenderer, and SkinnedMeshRenderer

[quick pollen]

yes

[north kiln]

The transform you're copying tells you where it is and what it's parented to, and the rest tell you what's rendering and how to render it

you don't need to know if it's a shield or a sword

[quick pollen]

but I don't want the Mesh of the Sword to be where the Mesh of the Shield is

[nocturne parcel]

Why would that ever happens

[quick pollen]

because thats fucking stupid

[queen adder]

What gameobject controls the sword?

[north kiln]

and just like me copying your sentence, that would never happen

[pallid nymph]

😄

[nocturne parcel]

That's what we are trying to tell you

[pallid nymph]

so, you have separate pools per object type

[quick pollen]

how

[summer stump]

If you have a sword, then use that to get a sword

[rich adder]

they just said how, copy those components

[quick pollen]

but how can I compare

[pallid nymph]

and that begs the question what's the "key" for each pool

[north kiln]

because you are copying something that already exists, why would a copy mix it up?

just iterate over it, and duplicate what you see

[quick pollen]

I already have copies of something that exists

I'm not copying it in runtime

I copy it at Start()

[queen adder]

You just spawn it where it currently is

[rocky canyon]

i think his setup doesn't allow the ease of what we're suggesting.. thats my guess

[queen adder]

It should tho

He has a list of gameobjects, just spawn them where they are at

[quick pollen]

i can show the whole script

its been sent

[pallid nymph]

send again please

[quick pollen]

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

[pallid nymph]

so, AfterImageObject is a nuh-uh

[north kiln]

If the problem is pooling, then you will need to check the state of the objects and compare with your pooled object

see if the meshes have changed or if there's extra transforms

and handle the differences

but it's still just meshes and transforms, not special objects

[scarlet skiff]

i want my player to be able to parry attacks, i have the button and animation n stuff ready, but i am unsure how to approach the problem of detecting the parryable objects.

Do i just make a big ish invisible circle under the player parent that has a trigger collider, and if any objects come in contact there, then there is a parryable objects in range?

[pallid nymph]

you need a Dictionary<Object,Pool<Object>> kinda... this way you can pool by object and request a new instance by said object as key

[queen adder]

I would use a interface

[pallid nymph]

and then it's easy, because you request an object that matches your type, so you just need to apply transform stuff

[scarlet skiff]

also that way i can also easily know which gameobject specifially is there so ican set the beenParried bool in it to true or wtv

[queen adder]

And when OnColllisionEnter is called check to see if the collision has inhereted the interface

[quick pollen]

what if I do something like this

[scarlet skiff]

sorry i dont understand the " inhereted the interface" part

[queen adder]

The thing about the big invisble circle is up to u. However u decide to set up the collider is up to u

[nocturne parcel]

why not just a parriable bool

[scarlet skiff]

not sure exactly how an interface would look like here

[queen adder]

Uh if u dont understand interfaces you could just check a tag of the gameobjects collider

[nocturne parcel]

I would just have a parriable bool. Then, when attacking, the parriable attack would set the bool to true.

[queen adder]

The tag could just be Parryable

[quick pollen]

yeah thats what I did personally
you create a hitbox, put it as a child of ur player, and set it up with a tag, and using a script you activate and disable the gameobject

[nocturne parcel]

For parryable attacks, ofc.

[queen adder]

You couldnt do a bool parrayable because each enemy class would be different

[pallid nymph]

(Make a Parryable component 😛 )

[queen adder]

Interface

[rocky canyon]

if the enemy class wasnt parryable u wouldnt inherit

[pallid nymph]

component 😛

[rocky canyon]

therefor not need a bool

[queen adder]

Then each gameobject has a extra component on it

[rocky canyon]

but yea u could also quickly check for a component such as Parryable

[nocturne parcel]

An empty interface just for a check seems like a code smell to me

[rocky canyon]

whats 1 empty class..

[queen adder]

yeah thats true lmao

Actually scrap the interface idea.

[scarlet skiff]

so a script deticated to handling parrying?

[pallid nymph]

marker interfaces are cool, marker components also, but generally if it has any behaviour and stuff, it's better to be able to compose objects of 5 components and not make a new class that implements 5 things

[scarlet skiff]

is that what u mean by a parriyable component

[rich adder]

a script on a gameobject is a component

[queen adder]

Well your gonna try and get the component of the gameobject

If it has the component it can be parried f it doesnt then dont parry

[rocky canyon]

one sec

[rich adder]

wait what

[queen adder]

Hahaha

[quick pollen]

@scarlet skiff u want smth like this or?

[rocky canyon]

copy pasta fail

[pallid nymph]

nothing, we didn't see a thing

[rich adder]

[scarlet skiff]

ye more or less

[queen adder]

Alfy share ur parry code

Help my mans out

[quick pollen]

welll

most of it is handled through animation events

[scarlet skiff]

my game is in 2d

            shieldCooldown -= Time.deltaTime;
            UICooldownText.text = "Shield Cooldown: " + Convert.ToInt32(shieldCooldown);

        {
            animator.SetBool("Blocking", true);
            moveSystem.StartAction((int)(moveSystem.stamina >= 30? 30 : moveSystem.stamina));

    }
    public void StopBlock()
    {
        shieldHitBox.SetActive(false);
    }
}```

the premise is the same tho

u select the frame of the animation where the parry starts

thats when you turn on the hitbox

and u select the frame where the animation ends

thats where u turn off the hitbox

[queen adder]

Thats how i would go about it tbh

[quick pollen]

if its in 2D, you can either check which sprite it's on

[queen adder]

The animation events specifically

[quick pollen]

or stuff like that

[quick pollen]

they're easy and reliable so yknow

[queen adder]

[quick pollen]

do u have an animator @scarlet skiff

[scarlet skiff]

and u just have a method or something in the parried object that reverses their direction if they collide with the shield?

[queen adder]

But for u obada just check what component the Collider has

[scarlet skiff]

yes

[nocturne parcel]

yeah i think the disdain to marker interfaces has been scripted into my brain in uni

[quick pollen]

yeah, tho personally I handle that in the projectile itself

[queen adder]

And go from there

[quick pollen]

if it collides with an object that has the "shieldHitbox" tag

it gets the velocity reversed

and the color inverted

[scarlet skiff]

yea well the projectile is the (soon to be) parried object

[queen adder]

Pretty cool pretty cool

[scarlet skiff]

so same thing 🙂

[queen adder]

Yup

[rocky canyon]

i too advocate marker components

DogTag being a player

[quick pollen]

another example

[quick pollen]

yea, u just put a script on it

which reverses the velocity when its parried

inside of ontriggerenter

parriable is a bool on the projectile

dw about "stuck" its for smth else

its gonna be even easier in 2D

[nocturne parcel]

I should use this more often. Can't shake the feeling of code smell tho lol.

[quick pollen]

you can just flip the gameobject

[low path]

You can make a tags component that all objects have and use an enum flags for all the tags instead of having a bunch of components on the objects.

[quick pollen]

and it works perfectly

[quick pollen]

u can literally put this in any script

[low path]

That way it’s just one component, plus Unity serialized enum flags and has a built in inspector.

[quick pollen]

u dont need enums for this

[rocky canyon]

ya, i don't over use them or anything.. but i prefer them to Tags

[quick pollen]

sure it can help

but there's no point if its just a singleton

[queen adder]

Alfy u have the biggest beef with enums lol Im joking

[nocturne parcel]

And they don't cause over use of inherintance issues, so i guess they're fine

[quick pollen]

i just dont see the reason in using it everywhere

[queen adder]

But a enum is uncessary if its just two states

[quick pollen]

thats literally what im saying

[rocky canyon]

Tags are finite..

[quick pollen]

cuz he has 2 states

[rocky canyon]

components are not

[quick pollen]

parriable and unparriable

[queen adder]

Yeah i agree i was just trying make a joke

[quick pollen]

dw i gotchu-HOLY FUCK its 2 am

[rocky canyon]

you should look into enums tho. you'll probably want to use them somewhere down the road

[quick pollen]

okay

[quick pollen]

i get how they work now

[rocky canyon]

nice 👍

[quick pollen]

it does remind me of tags

[rocky canyon]

pretty much yea

[rich adder]

its tags but better

[queen adder]

Well thru the madness we learned something new!

[quick pollen]

but kinda like tags with functionalities

yea

[rocky canyon]

i use the shit out of them for my settings menu

[quick pollen]

gotta stay an agent of chaos, always lol

[rocky canyon]

Quality Settings etc

[quick pollen]

ofc

i get that

for things like that it goes

[queen adder]

Yeah lol sorry if i seemed rude earlier everyone

[rocky canyon]

everyone was losing their shit a bit

[quick pollen]

but when you dont know how many types you'll have, and the max value can change, then yea

[quick pollen]

hell, if you're apologizing, tf am i meant to say

[rocky canyon]

(╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻

[quick pollen]

do I just go to hell now? xd

[nocturne parcel]

then just... add the type to the enum

[queen adder]

Lets not 🙂

[rocky canyon]

^ he means at runtime

lap 3

[pallid nymph]

no no, that's sad

even if it doesn't change at runtime - it's still sad 🙂

[nocturne parcel]

but why would you add a type at runtime

[rocky canyon]

u wouldn't 🤫

[queen adder]

His requirements are different and i think weve got it solved maybe?

[low path]

If you use enum flags you can add tags at runtime.

[scarlet skiff]

im thinking something that goes like this:

Player parent has invisible hitbox -> onTriggerEnter2d adds those gameObjects to as list, and exit removes them (if no longer in parryable distance) -> if player presses the button to parry every gameobject in the list would get flipped rotation and speed

[pallid nymph]

enums that grow indefinitely just shouldn't be enums

[rocky canyon]

whats an enum flag?

[pallid nymph]

one that's a power of 2

[low path]

https://giannisakritidis.com/blog/Enum-Flags-In-Unity/

[rocky canyon]

gracias

[queen adder]

Oh so just normal enums lmao

[rocky canyon]

yea haha

[queen adder]

I thought that would be different for some reason

[timber tide]

basically if you used layer masks you've used enum flags

[rocky canyon]

i see what u did ther

[low path]

No it’s a bitmap.

[queen adder]

enums are...

[low path]

You can have multiple tags in one variable.

[queen adder]

Nevermind

You can do that normally

[rocky canyon]

its an Enum Mask heh

[queen adder]

Thats not a unity specific thing

[quick pollen]

more like
Player is the parent of an invisible hitbox
Each projectile has a "Parriable" bool on them
When the player parries, the invisible hitbox gets activated
If "Parriable" is true, and they collide with the "Parry" hitbox, then reverse their speed and whatever

[scarlet skiff]

every day i read terms i dont understand on here and then see its still just the beginner chat for coding. A humbling experience

[queen adder]

The attribute i see i see

[timber tide]

you can do stuff like check if a weapon is a enum type of Fire, Sword, TwoHanded, Physical in one operation with enum flags

[queen adder]

When u look back itll be super cool tho

[nocturne parcel]

No, no. You should create a class for each and have 10 layers of inheritance.

[queen adder]

Keep in mind some of the people here have been coding 5 to 10+ years

They didnt learn this stuff over night

[scarlet skiff]

thing is about

When the player parries, the invisible hitbox gets activated
id want the player only be able to play the parry animation when there is a parryable projectile within parryable distance, so i think the way i check for parryable objects work better in my situation..?

[rocky canyon]

im 2 years deep and haven't left beginner

[queen adder]

Same

Lmao

[scarlet skiff]

dam

im like

[queen adder]

Started Senior year and im 21 now and i still have no fucking idea what these guys are talking about half of the time

[grim pecan]

When did it was to make this folder in Unity Learn?

[scarlet skiff]

40 - 50 days into making my first game

[queen adder]

Thats good tho

Most ppl dont last that long

id say if u stayed over a month ur pretty much set

[rocky canyon]

it takes 6 weeks to fully develop a habit

[scarlet skiff]

i have dabbled in making games before that, they were school projects

they were more surviving than learning

[rocky canyon]

can u rephrase ur question?

having trouble understanding what you meant

[scarlet skiff]

so officially started 40 to 50 days ago, otherwise i have done some very minor things

[rocky canyon]

before u know it youre hub will look like this

[queen adder]

Today was...interesting to say the least

I regulary delete my stuff but it does add up lol

[nocturne parcel]

I fluctuate. For example, I finished a river generation algorithm which anyone who ever tried knows how complex they are, yet I just learnt today that arrays have "lenght" instead of "count" because they're fixed size, and not just because c# devs at microsoft felt like using lenght.

[queen adder]

Unity takes up like 100 gigs of my hard drive

[rocky canyon]

i think if ur learning the more variety u can explore the better off u'll be

[scarlet skiff]

ye its fun, but can be overwhelming sometimes, like my game is just a simple 2d arcade style game, stuff will spawn out of all sides and u have to dodge them, and u get a score based on how hard the things were to dodge, and u just have to try to get a high score. But even then like... its still a bunhc of coding, but thats fine, but then there is sound effects.. music... graphics/sprites... literally no clue how id get over that part

[queen adder]

Its only overwhelming if u try to learn everything at once

Only focus on the stuff you need to know

And get good at that

[rocky canyon]

remember when u go to publish.. the last 10% takes about 90% of the time you spend on the game

[queen adder]

IKR lmao. I didnt know the difference either until you asked

[rocky canyon]

or it should, to get all that juice and stuff worked out

[scarlet skiff]

ye i thought about that today 💀

ill have to edit a tutorial vid, make a scene for it so i have trhew right set up for it

[queen adder]

Were getting side tracked tho

[scarlet skiff]

then like if i wanna publish it on steam its 100 bucks

[queen adder]

Did u figure out ur parry code?

[nocturne parcel]

Could you ask that again?

You want to know how to choose the folder?

[rocky canyon]

he ignored me probably you too.. i think he figured it out

[scarlet skiff]

id say yea

[nocturne parcel]

I really didn't get the question

[queen adder]

Thats good!

Sorry for being like that were just not supposed to the flood the channel with none code related stuff

[scarlet skiff]

no no, thats understandable

thank u all for ur time

[quick pollen]

internal GameObject afterImageGO; how can I set this so it has a reference

i have this but it isn't enough

I tried new gameobject

but says its incorrect

[queen adder]

Would u mind sharing the whole class?

[quick pollen]

i already did

I can send this relevant screenshot

the problem is where I set the afterImageObjects[i].afterImageGO = afterImageObject

it says object reference not set

[rocky canyon]

because afterImageObjects is a type of AfterImageObject , not a GameObject

[quick pollen]

thats why I have .afterImageGO

which is a GameObject

no?

[rocky canyon]

ohh i didnt see that in that Little snippet

[queen adder]

Yeah hes accessing the property

[rocky canyon]

ya i see now.. puts on glasses

i hate getting old

[queen adder]

Share the error code

[quick pollen]

its no longer initializing any objects

[queen adder]

What object does it say isnt set?

[quick pollen]

its a runtime error

[queen adder]

i know could i see it please?

[quick pollen]

this is all I get

[rocky canyon]

oh easy NRE

whats line 73

[queen adder]

Thats why i asked to see the whole class

[quick pollen]

if (afterImageObjects[i].objectID == index && afterImageObjects[i].afterImageGO.activeInHierarchy)

[queen adder]

Its easier to debug when we can see the whole thing

[quick pollen]

line 73

[queen adder]

Just share the whole thing?

yes i knw

[pallid nymph]

you need to initialize afterImageObjects[i]

[quick pollen]

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

[quick pollen]

it is.

wait

[pallid nymph]

it is not

[quick pollen]

afterImageObjects cant be initialized

its a class

not an object

[pallid nymph]

classes are types

[quick pollen]

i meant object

[summer stump]

A class IS a type. And classes /objects are null until initialized

[queen adder]

Omg i just realized

[summer stump]

Classes are objects btw (c# object)

[quick pollen]

god

[rocky canyon]

its a one of these

[quick pollen]

again?

[pallid nymph]

yes?

[queen adder]

Is the for loop needed inside of the foreach?

[pallid nymph]

again, having a variable or space for it doesn't mean it has value

[summer stump]

What?

[quick pollen]

yeah

cuz I need x of each object

[quick pollen]

did i mess that part up again

[wispy karma]

Hey! I'm just learning how to use SO's as an event container, but I'm wondering if I could get some feedback on optimizating or any major errors I'm making with the system. I'm currently running into the problem of each of the event reoccuring when the player does an action that calls them. I tried to flag it so that It could only be called once, but It's pretty ineffective and I realize that I'm doing it wrong. Additionally I don't really think I'm utilizing the Enum to handle the progression?

https://codeshare.io/deYZdZ

[summer stump]

Oh, I dunno.
I just saw you said it can't be initialized, but it can and needs to be

[quick pollen]

thats why i didafterImageObjects = new AfterImageObject[_afterImageCount * _objectsToBeAfterImaged.Length];

and then set the values

[pallid nymph]

that creates the array, now it's filled with nulls

you can't set the objectID of a null

so, you need to init each item to a new AfterImageSomething()

[wispy karma]

Here's a video on the system at work at the moment (Apologies for the mic buzz)

(honestly I would mute it and just skip through)

[quick pollen]

sorry how do i do that

[queen adder]

Also i dont think u ever set

[quick pollen]

cuz I feel like ill have a conniption

[queen adder]

_objectsToBeAfterImaged

[quick pollen]

cuz shit like that happened way too often

[quick pollen]

its serialized

[queen adder]

Oh i see

[queen adder]

Then im also certain you dont need a for loop inside of a foreach

[pallid nymph]

before you set the ID and the other thing, you just do whatever[i] = new TheClassName();

[quick pollen]

8*70 gameobjects in total (+1 from the character itself)

[quick pollen]

I do.

I have a list of objects

in my case

I have 7 objects

[queen adder]

If u want the index just have a outside int variable you increment at the end of the loop

[quick pollen]

and I need 70 copies of each object

[queen adder]

Oh i see

[wispy karma]

Looking for Advice!

[quick pollen]

thats kinda messing me up

but I got it

[nocturne parcel]

Could you explain better your problem?

[quick pollen]

ok so it initialized everything

but still cant find it

[nocturne parcel]

By better I mean re-phrase it

[quick pollen]

if (afterImageObjects[i].objectID == index && afterImageObjects[i].afterImageGO.activeInHierarchy) is line 74

the only object that it means can only be afterImageObjects[i].afterImageGO

but how

[pallid nymph]

ah, you're doing this check before you crate them, no?

[quick pollen]

after

I create them in start

fuck im tired

and I check them in update

tho like

is it a problem that I activate and deactivate the script

to make it work?

[pallid nymph]

not sure what you mean by that

[quick pollen]

basically

whenever I dash as an example

I enable the script

[pallid nymph]

mm, that should be fine

[quick pollen]

i have this whole update thing

yeah

so i dont get

how its not serialized

it shouldnt lose its value because it was disabled

[pallid nymph]

what's the first error that you get?

[quick pollen]

object reference not set

[pallid nymph]

the one at the top

on which line?

double check

[quick pollen]

74-WAIT

HUH

[pallid nymph]

save the file 😛

and politely ask Unity to realize it's changed

[quick pollen]

line 73

for some reason afterImageObjects[i].afterImageGO is null??

[shell sorrel]

so figure otu what is null in that line

[quick pollen]

how?

[quick pollen]

well the only thing that can be null is the gameobject

but how

[queen adder]

there u go

[quick pollen]

I literally initialize it

before

[shell sorrel]

well the array element could be null to

[quick pollen]

i cant initialize it 10 fucking times

[shell sorrel]

chances are something destroyed the gameobject after the list was created

[quick pollen]

how

[queen adder]

AfterImageObject.SetActive(false)?

[quick pollen]

that doesn't destroy it?

[queen adder]

You set the gameobjects to false when u put them in the array

[quick pollen]

yes

but that doesnt destroy them

[rich adder]

thought you were pooling?

[quick pollen]

I turn them off

i dont discard them

[quick pollen]

yes.

thats why im saying that it cant be destroyed

[rich adder]

right

[shell sorrel]

if pooling why not use the provided tools for it

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Pool.ObjectPool_1.html

[quick pollen]

cuz its not that type of pooling

and im not rewriting all of it again

[queen adder]

Also also

Line 61
this.enabled = false?

How is ur code even getting called

[quick pollen]

what?

[quick pollen]

by other means

it gets activated when I dash

[quick pollen]

not every frame

[queen adder]

Start is called on the frame when a script is enabled just before any of the Update methods are called the first time. Like the Awake function, Start is called exactly once in the lifetime of the script. However, Awake is called when the script object is initialised, regardless of whether or not the script is enabled.

Try moving ur logic into OnEnable()

[languid timber]

So here is my problem: my invoke does not work, it just does not activate the RemoveNotifier() method, any help would be appreciated :)
https://hatebin.com/ntaewnomzy

[quick pollen]

thatd break EVERYTHING

because the script gets enabled multiple times

[queen adder]

Ctrl + z then

[quick pollen]

itd try to initialize more and more

i dont want to crash my pc

and I said it before

[queen adder]

I was thinking maybe the array got cleared when u disable it

[quick pollen]

it instantiates the object

[quick pollen]

how

that has to be my guess too

but how

[queen adder]

It was just a thought i could be wrong

[shell sorrel]

you just have to add logging and track why it goes null

chances are some other system nuked the object or you are not referencing what you think you are

[summer stump]

I would turn the first two methods into coroutines and use WaitForSeconds

But, do you destroy that class? That could be why the invoke doesn't work

[languid timber]

the SavingNotifier.SetActive(false); starts like this, and I have tried the coroutines method, and the same result popped out, nothing

[quick pollen]

i already have logging

but it doesnt even get triggered

[summer stump]

Ok, well if it is destroyed, that could cause coroutines to not work as well, which is why I asked about it

[quick pollen]

yeah its not it

[summer stump]

@languid timber You can put a debug.log in OnDestroy to make sure

[quick pollen]

straight up doesnt give a fuck

[queen adder]

Who? what?

[quick pollen]

does this look destroyed

[queen adder]

You define a variable called index twice as well?

[quick pollen]

they're all there

[summer stump]

Wasn't talking to you

[quick pollen]

i changed it

[quick pollen]

oh sorry

[queen adder]

Send the current code please just to be share

[languid timber]

and how do we do that? I am really bad at coding

[quick pollen]

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

[nocturne parcel]

of course

[supple citrus]

OnDestroy()
{
Debug.Log()

[nocturne parcel]

you are not setting nothing on afterimageobject[i]

I have a camera focussed on only the red box but ReadPixels() keeps returning a screenshot of the entire screen rather than just the bounds of the camera. How would I make it only capture the camera's view?

[summer stump]

You would put something IN the debug.log
Not like flawless did it. They were just giving an example

You should look at the docs for the method

[supple citrus]

of course

[languid timber]

I will thanks! after I am done with that I will come back if It is not clear for me yet

[quick pollen]

WHAT.

what the FUCK is null then???

[shell sorrel]

settle down, check objectID

[quick pollen]

objectID is an int??

[shell sorrel]

oh thought it was string

[queen adder]

Can you get a reference to a object that isnt active?

[shell sorrel]

also are those messages from the same instance

[queen adder]

Because you set the gameobjects to inactive then add them to the array

[quick pollen]

omg

wait

it only found the 6th objectIDs

[queen adder]

Ok tripple 6 ?

[quick pollen]

no

not triple

700 logs

[queen adder]

Making a joke

[quick pollen]

all of them are 6

[languid timber]

after reviewing with the OnDestroy (if I even did it correct)
could not see it bieng destroyed in the log after interacting with the saving button, so that could not be it?
https://hatebin.com/ztbocolytg

[north kiln]

Hate to throw this into the mix but this is the kind of thing my copy function would look like https://gdl.space/avudupifuz.cs

[quick pollen]

there are only 6s

i dont get it

how

[summer stump]

Ok, well good to know.
Are you sure the other methods are being called in the first place?
Like GameSaved() ?

[languid timber]

yes the wait a sec or hold a sec log does get called, it is just that the invoke does not work (give it a sec log XD, forgot my own code)

[quick pollen]

@queen adder is smth wrong with my index counting thing?

[languid timber]

it looks like this, the save/load button on the left bottom corner trigger the methods
the game saved that is so big in the screen is being called by the methods you asked about

[teal viper]

Don't trigger the voids! You're gonna doom us all!

[queen adder]

I have no idea tbh

It looks like it should work

[languid timber]

I have corrected it for you haha

[queen adder]

How about u trying set it inactive after u add it to the array

Thats a cool looking pause menu

And if only objects with an ID of 6 are getting spawned in then yes there is probably something wrong with the indexing

[quick pollen]

i made it into a for loop

[languid timber]

thank you! my own pixel art :)

[rich adder]

the save / load text could be better colors

doesnt pop well

[languid timber]

lighter text?

[rich adder]

orange text with brown is kinda offputting

[quick pollen]

i give up

i just

cant

[rich adder]

if anything Darker for green but Load is a bit odd color. I would use another

[quick pollen]

I have no fucking clue what the issue is

it must be here at this point

i debugged everything else

[languid timber]

and the I have to go into photoshop and also edit the floppy disk itself, because it uses the same colors

[queen adder]

Why dont u just check to see whats null?

If (afterImageObject[i] == null)

[languid timber]

thank you for the feedback! I will add it to my scrum :D

[rich adder]

ther is a cool website were you can see palettes / and their respective complimentary colors

I think Adobe also has one
edit :
this one
https://color.adobe.com/create/color-wheel

[quick pollen]

did

its not null

[queen adder]

Whats the new code lol sorry i keep asking

Where are u checking that?

[quick pollen]

its up there

[shell sorrel]

well its not tossing exceptions for no reason, so something on that line is null

[quick pollen]

before the error

[languid timber]

holy smokes thats insanely advanced

[languid timber]

I should just make a color pallete myself in photoshop to keep a consistant style

but thats off the charts for now, my invoke does still not work XD

[queen adder]

Try checking if its actually null instead

[quick pollen]

what?

[rich adder]

just kinda tuned in now, can you give me the TLDR of your issue

[languid timber]

TLDR? I am really bad at shortages of words

[quick pollen]

i give up

straight up

no clue wtf is going on

i did this before

[rich adder]

"too long didn't read"

[quick pollen]

and it worked

i do it now

it doesnt work

ive done object pooling before

and it started working really fast

[languid timber]

aha I see! well.. my invoke does not get activated or at least does not trigger my RemoveNotifier() Method

https://hatebin.com/ztbocolytg

[quick pollen]

isnt it meant to be "_RemoveNotifier" perhaps?

[languid timber]

could check, will check
and nope, does not change anything

[summer stump]

Nah, the method doesn't have an underscore

[quick pollen]

yea just made sure its not smth like that

[summer stump]

Oh, Invoke uses reflection, so it needs the exact method name, character for character

[rich adder]

Ohhh

that type of invoke..

[summer stump]

One of the reasons I hate it hahaha

[queen adder]

I did not know it uses reflection

[rich adder]

yes strings = reflection

[quick pollen]

not this one?

[queen adder]

That should be fucking obvious in hind sight

[quick pollen]

reflection?

[rich adder]

slightly more optmizied doing nameof(MethodName)

less brittle too

[queen adder]

if u want to know if a CLASS has a specific function name or properties u do that via reflection

[languid timber]

I did use that before, but I was like nahh

[quick pollen]

huh

[rich adder]

5D chess level, use Coroutines 😤

[summer stump]

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/framework/reflection-and-codedom/reflection

[queen adder]

Sorry meant to say class

[summer stump]

They said they did use coroutines too, but that it didn't work

[rich adder]

ahh ok

[quick pollen]

no thanks

[queen adder]

You can get information about a class at runtime via reflection

[quick pollen]

yea i got it

[summer stump]

BUT, i'd like to see how they did the coroutine

[languid timber]

could yeah, but if the long way has the same result als the short way its not worth going for in my believes

[rich adder]

also are you certain the script is running ?

[languid timber]

correct

[queen adder]

how does the scripts methods get called?

[quick pollen]

does he need the System.Reflection namespace

[queen adder]

Via a button Event?

No he doesnt need the namespace

[summer stump]

No, UnityEngine covers it for Invoke

[languid timber]

should I send the coroutine version?

[quick pollen]

good then

[summer stump]

Sure, may be informative

[shell sorrel]

Reflection is not something they have to worry about, its just how unity on its end is calling a method from a string name

[languid timber]

will type it again (did not comment it out so, eheh)

[quick pollen]

i wanna listen to celeste ost now

[shell sorrel]

but also i tend to avoid invoke because of this, or at the very least use nameof

[quick pollen]

turns out the functions that are meant to call the function dont even get called

imagine

[rich adder]

Funception

[rich adder]

btw not sure if you answered this but is Debug.Log("give it a sec"); running / printing ?

[shell sorrel]

but for invoke to work for delaying something, function name must be exact, and the object you ran invoke from must remain alive and active the whole time

[rich adder]

indeed , make sure this object the script is on isnt destroyed/disabled

[summer stump]

I had them debug in OnDestroy and it never got called. But I didn't have them check OnDisable

[languid timber]

nope, and I did a while back, but it is easily missed

[rich adder]

ahh that might be something to look into then

that means ur method to call invoke isnt called, then the invoke wont work 😛

so ur issue comes from higher up

[languid timber]

Noo nnoo wait

it does

it does

XD

[quick pollen]

i knew the answer all along hehehe

oh

[rich adder]

oh ok

[languid timber]

I was talking in my head about the one after the Invoke

https://hatebin.com/tzfqvbqapc

but this is the new system

"new"

[rich adder]

nothing is wrong with the syntax at least

this one also needs logs after StartCoroutine

just incase

[shell sorrel]

also does anything disable your GameSavingNote object

or destroy it

since that would kill the coroutine as well

[languid timber]

yeah ur right indeed

[quick pollen]

what id guess the problem is maybe

[frigid sequoia]

Can I get like a reference of one of the custom parameters of a custom ShaderGraph?

[quick pollen]

is that the RemoveNotifier is after the Invoke

[rich adder]

prob

[quick pollen]

yea ofc
