Okay, so, I'm trying to make a game based around lasso movement, and I made this animation at the start. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on what I could do to animate the lasso throw so it looks natural and aims straight to where you need it to go. I feel like I need to use linerenderer somehow, but I'm not sure how to make the throw look natural. any suggestions?

for some reason this is still null.....
https://hastebin.com/share/evixewetaj.csharp
can someone help me find out what the issue is?
I don't get why afterImageObjects[i] is null
I set a reference to it before it
and it just gets ignored
languid spire
you initialize the arrays but you do not actually put anything into them. The default value for each entry will be null
quick pollen
you initialize the arrays but you do not actually put anything into them. The de...
i do put values into them.
and the best part is
objectID for every single array element is 6
literally all of them
gaunt ice
i think _afterImageCount<afterImageObjects.Length
try to log it
afterImageObjects.Length=_afterImageCount * _objectsToBeAfterImaged.Length
quick pollen
i think _afterImageCount<afterImageObjects.Length
try to log it
_afterImageCount is a constant
gaunt ice
so?
it should be still less than the length of array
quick pollen
so?
it should be still less than the length of array
why
I need 70 copies of 7 objects
so I need 70*7 slots
and its correct
wait
I think I know....
I think my values are being overwritten here
because i gets reset for every element....
gaunt ice
yes
quick pollen
oh my fucking god
languid spire
you are filling the same entries in the array each time, you do not take the value of j into account in your index calculation
quick pollen
you are filling the same entries in the array each time, you do not take the val...
yes
I just figured that out
so I need a separate increment
languid spire
no, j * afterImageCount + i
gaunt ice
row*whole column length +column
quick pollen
no, j * afterImageCount + i
wdym no
oh
I mean
that works too technically
but imo its safer using a separate increment
languid spire
could also do
for(int j = 0, int k=0; j < _objectsToBeAfterImaged.Length; j++) {
for(int i = 0; i < _afterImageCount; i++, k++)
and use k as the indexer
quick pollen
yeah true
but idk
I just used an int for now
another problem arises here
it can't find the characters
oh wait
im stupid
i dont set where they should be
.-.
it works!
but I still get these logs
languid spire
Also I think you misunderstand the usage of the internal keyword
quick pollen
Also I think you misunderstand the usage of the internal keyword
doesnt it mean that it can be accessed inside of the file?
well not file
languid spire
no
quick pollen
but class
it can be accessed within derived
non derived and within the class
but it can't be accessed within a derived with a different assembly
languid spire
no, internal means it can only be acessed within the compiled assembly
quick pollen
no, internal means it can only be acessed within the compiled assembly
well yeah
is it not ok the way I use it?
languid spire
the way you use it will have no effect as everything is compiled into the same assembly
quick pollen
the way you use it will have no effect as everything is compiled into the same a...
what should I set the protection level to then
so its the bare minimum
gaunt ice
no such access modifier (only allow anything in same file access it) in c#
at least not now in unity
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/language-reference/keywords/file
languid spire
so its the bare minimum
use public, your class is already private to the enclosing class
quick pollen
alright, I was just told that you should use public as rarely as possible
languid spire
of course, but in this case public is necessary
quick pollen
of course, but in this case public is necessary
just cuz it works with internal
languid spire
as you have coded it internal and public do the same thing. It's just that internal makes no sense
languid spire
Different Shader, read the error message

Where are you setting the material? And what's the material?

fuck
right
sorry
I didnt do it in enable
quick pollen
Where are you setting the material? And what's the material?
I set the material in awake()
well not the material
pallid nymph
Not in the code you shared
quick pollen
but thats where I get the reference to it
then I do Material[] materialToFade = _meshRenderer.materials;
pallid nymph
So it's set in the inspector?
quick pollen
So it's set in the inspector?
no
pallid nymph
So where is it set?
quick pollen
the materials?
for the object?
in a different script
and the best part is
the shader is unlit
but the console is complaining about a lit shader
fickle plume
@quick pollen Use full sentences, please, don't spam the channel.
pallid nymph
yes, because you haven't set the material yet!
that other code that sets it - it's probably called later
pallid nymph
yeah, so OnEnable is first
quick pollen
```cs
private void OnEnable()
{
try
{
transparency =...
this didnt work either btw
pallid nymph
Awake and OnEnabled are called immediately as you Instantiate
Start is called later
pallid nymph
this didnt work either btw
How did it not work? No prints?
quick pollen
Awake and OnEnabled are called immediately as you Instantiate
but the object is disabled by default?
quick pollen
How did it not work? No prints?
yeah
pallid nymph
but the object is disabled by default?
are you sure?
quick pollen
yes
quick pollen
here comes this again
pallid nymph
you get the problem in OnEnable, which was called from Instantiate
languid spire
this didnt work either btw
impossible based on the error you shared
quick pollen
why is it disabled by default?
because i dont want to use them immediately as I load in
quick pollen
you get the problem in OnEnable, which was called from Instantiate
wait what
pallid nymph
that's fair, but it's not what the error says
pallid nymph
it does, for objects that are enabled
yes, make the object disabled 😄

SteveSmith told me that it's really crucial

The warning not error
quick pollen
The warning not error
yes I'm talking about the yellow warning
pallid nymph
okay... you can check the warning, see what the stack trace is, see that it's only Unity and not you, and ignore it politely
languid spire
I told you, it is caused by an Inspector or Editor error, something going wrong there
pallid nymph
if it is caused by your code, then you should fix it, but it's probably not relevant to the error, because it's GUI stuff
quick pollen
also appareantly this doesn't deactivate it in time
quick pollen
I told you, it is caused by an Inspector or Editor error, something going wrong ...
yeah, and you told me that I should go try and fix it
languid spire
yeah, and you told me that I should go try and fix it
absolutely, if you can locate it
quick pollen
because it can mess up some static values
pallid nymph
also appareantly this doesn't deactivate it in time
of course it doesn't... SetActive is after Instantiate 🤷♂️
quick pollen
absolutely, if you can locate it
well yeah considering its GUI i cant do much
quick pollen
of course it doesn't... SetActive is __after__ Instantiate 🤷♂️
but I can't deactivate it before I create it
its like painting a wall blue before you build it
pallid nymph
the prefab needs to be deactivated, if you don't want Awake and OnEnable to be called inside
quick pollen
but yeah deactivating the prefab worked ofc
I just thought of something like this possibly messing things up so I had that SetActive(false)
but it didnt really help
thank you all for the help!

you need to learn more about debugging... logging every thing that is suspicious to you, or attaching the debugger and going line by line until you see the issue, etc.
AND trust the errors - they tend to tell you exactly what and where the problem is... from there it's your job to understand why is it like that, which isn't always easy, but hence the debugging skills being crucial
quick pollen
its not like i dont trust the errors
I just found it strange that it didnt have any noticable effects
and at first sight I thought it was on a completely different shader

omg
this works so well
it basically used to look like this back then
i think the fact that I instantiated them all the time was really slowing it down

But it won't serialize as DamageType.Box. Instead, it will serialize damage.damageType as DamageType.Circular.
This thing only works if this is a class.
How can i achieve that for structs?

At a guess, because of the length of time the key is being pressed
hmmm, even with a single short press the sideways speed was noticeably different when tested on different computers
i tried locking the frame rate hoping it would solve it but it didn't

generally for physics stuff you want to collect inputs in update (so that you don't miss any) and handle them in fixedupdate (since that's where physics stuff might happen)
only moving the player on keydown or up doesn't sound like a reasonable solution for player movement
languid spire
but he is adding force, not moving
night mural
ok but it's a player movement controller...you're telling me if i am trying to move a character in a realtime game and i press 'left' and hold it down, the character should get pushed left slightly then sit there? nah

no, that is not what I said

that's what would happen if you only apply force on down or up, no?

so will this send the game window into stasis as soon as the while loop starts?

no exceptions?
languid spire
basically an infinite loop of doing nothing
low path
I’m not sure what your requirements are. I believe that if you have an infinite loop that doesn’t handle incoming windows events or something, windows will think it’s not responding. If you have a really long not exactly infinite loop, you’ll at least do that for a finite amount of time.

my advice was based on what he specifically said he is trying to avoid, not on what he is trying to do as he has not specified that as yet because no one has asked him

Do a nop while loop that just counts to int64_max.
so something like this should work right?

}

store it in an integer var
then multiply it with speed

you can use any
what it does is it take 1 or -1 from your input aka a or d so if you press a it sets the value to -1 which is multiplied with speed then moves the player to left
its automated left right movement

<@134945562473529344>
I said you should always use a variable, like torque, instead of a magic number, like 2. That way, you can use the same variable in other areas of the code, and changing the variable will use the new value throughout your code
You must replace a magic number everywhere it is used . . .

Right, so instead of having an update loop, have a Coroutine that checks distance every frame (you can do yield return null to skip a frame). If the target is met, spawn and then wait 10 seconds. Repeat coroutine

make a custom data structure
a simple class with a different collection inside
Your custom data structure should have the following things:
- A field for current total weight. (private setter)
- A collection that holds entry and its weight.
- Be generic, so the entry you store could be of any specific type
- Have a method to perform a random selection.
- Methods to add/remove entries with a given weight
- methods to read and modify the weight of an existing entry
this should be relatively simple. But you should make a custom data structure so you can abstract and do whatever implementation underneath, and/or change it in the future. It also separates the responsibility of managing weights
the whole shebang should be fewer than 100 lines of code tbh
but you might want to add features later, like implementing IEnumerable<TEntry>

frigid sequoia
<@348099179274305536> understand?
Yeah, I would say that one will work fine; I can just create a new instance of it from specific spawners and modify the values manually. And if I want the pick to be more weighted towards rare stuff, I can just... increase the weight of every object by a flat amount, that should make rare stuff significantly more common, without the need of adding a rarity tag or anything like that
buoyant knot
you can just use bigger ints
summer stump
hi my visual studio isnt autocmpleting unity code
!ide
eternal falconBOT
buoyant knot
bigger ints = more resolution
just start by giving everything the weight you want, but add 2 zeros. Like instead of 1, 2, 5. Make weights 100,200, 500. So you can potentially change your mind and mess with things later
swift crag
I wrote a little extenison method for this
not a huge fan of that return default at the end
Random.Range with floats is inclusive, not exclusive
of course, floating-point errors will also probably cause slight errors anyway

buoyant knot
this is O(n) draw, so it’s more of a correction method
swift crag
oh yeah, this is less efficient than if you have a few rarity buckets
in that case you can do the draw in constant time

but if you are using a data structure, you should probably have a method in it to use a different weighting function, or to modify all weights in the table with a given re-weighting function
queen adder
Why does this code sometimes teleport the player a lot farther away from the respawn?
swift crag
RSPN sounds way worse than...respawnPoint
buoyant knot
why are you moving your player’s transform when it has a collider, and moving it in a collision callback
that is asking for trouble
swift crag
If the player has a CharacterController or Rigidbody, then moving the transform directly can break, yes
buoyant knot
i’m not saying that is your issue, but it could be a part of your issue
buoyant knot
at which point you probably want to move the player’s rigidbody.position
swift crag
You should reference the player's rigidbody
buoyant knot
because that moves the transform and colliders
swift crag
[SerializeField] Rigidbody playerRigidbody;
okay
swift crag
If you move the transform, the physics system is "left in the dark"
it only learns about the movement later
buoyant knot
if you move the transform, the colliders stay where they are
swift crag
and if you have Interpolate enabled, the physics system just ignores your new position entirely
queen adder
should i make it make the rigidbody kinematic when it teleports?
buoyant knot
not really
swift crag
should i make it make the rigidbody kinematic when it teleports?

okay

setting rigidbody.position teleports the object, transform, and all the colliders
without respecting physics collisions!

it might be that it spawns before the scene changes but thats just a guess and i don't know how to fix it if it is the problem

strong wren
Most straightforward way would be to have a script in the scene to spawn the camera

You're going to need to spawn the players in the next scene and every one of them are going to have a camera so just spawn the camera when you spawn the players

thats what im trying but i dont know how to detect after the scene changes
ivory bobcat
Why would you need to? Just have the code in the next scene that does it
foggy pine
no but when does the code run? it would need to call the function?

It shouldn't be this scene's responsibility for what's in the next scene - unless you absolutely must have to have the next scene configured from this scene.

i mean when does the next scene know to call the function

Hello, what is the best way to move a RigidBody ? I had a Character Controller, and I was just using .Move(), but I don't find a equivalent for RigidBody. For now, I'm changing directly transform.position (also, Use Gravity is unchecked), but I don't think it's the most efficient method.

i mean when does the next scene know to call the function
An object in the scene with the start function?
summer stump
i mean when does the next scene know to call the function
Awake and Start run when an object is instantiated
foggy pine
so make an empty object that calls the function at the start of the scene, right?
ivory bobcat
You'd share data between scenes with a Singleton ddol object or some static manager class
Assuming you've got some sort of persistent manager for managing player count etc for your multiplayer game already setup

Modifying transform position would be teleporting and ignores physics
foggy pine
well right now its a singleplayer setup with a single map and stuff but im trying to setup prefab spawning so then i can call that when a new person joins the game
when i make it multiplayer
summer stump
when i make it multiplayer
Is this a local multiplayer?
foggy pine
well i haven't started making it multiplayer i am starting with making player spawning a function so when i get to making multiplayer i already have a playerspawn function so when someone new joins they simply call the playerspawn function in the map

Will it BE local multiplayer?

i was thinking of using netcode or something to make it online multiplayer (i just googled how to add multiplayer to unity and that is what everyone said)

Then the entire way you're trying to do it doesn't make any sense
rocky canyon
multiplayer features are tightly integrated into core mechanics most time
vague dirge
Modifying transform position would be teleporting and ignores physics
And do you have an idea of method I could use plz ?
rocky canyon
its good to develop the multiplayer parts alongside everything else
cosmic quail
yeah converting a non multiplayer game to multiplayer can be very hard
rocky canyon
its not just something u can throw in at the end
summer stump

Build from multiplayer from the ground up, otherwise you're gonna rewrite almost everything
rocky canyon
(most times)
summer stump
Local multiplayer you can get away with adding on top, a little.
But not networked
Which is one reason I was asking
rocky canyon
networked is another type of beast..
local multiplayer ur just ususally changing player inputs and thats all
network multiplayer basically has to do with everything, movement, spawning, scorekeeping, etc
sharp copper
is it good to use serializefield this much?
foggy pine
its not just something u can *throw in at the end*
all i have right now is a basic map a player prefab and a main menu so im not adding it in at the end, i'm trying to figure out how to build it in the first place
rocky canyon

much better than trying to Find components all the time @ runtime

Well, the route you're taking is incorrect.
Have each client add their own camera, and don't worry about other players at all
Just have the camera in the scene
sharp copper
Its neither good nor bad
why then?
foggy pine

well the prefab contains the camera so if the client calls the func it spawns a new camera for the client
charred spoke
Why what? You use serialize field when you want a private field to show up in the inspector
summer stump

If the prefab contains the camera, then just use that?
Server initializes the client, done. Client already has the camera
sharp copper
I just don't know if it is correct to use that or is there different way
charred spoke
A different way for what? Having things show up in the inspector ?
ivory bobcat
And do you have an idea of method I could use plz ?
If you're wanting rigid body physics, you're going to have to use forces or modify velocity. Else if you're using a kinematic rigid body, you can use the rigid body move position (you'd implement some physics yourself).

Why call a spawn function, is what I'm saying
The client scene would just have the player in it
rocky canyon
ya, multiplayer ur not actually spawning in every player.. each persons game is just spawning in 1 player..
or is just there.. like aethensoity mentioned
foggy pine
but how does each new client spawn is what im saying... im trying to figure that out
rocky canyon
can u share what code u already have?
summer stump
but how does each new client spawn is what im saying... im trying to figure that...
The same way it would in a singleplayer game
rocky canyon
but how does each new client spawn is what im saying... im trying to figure that...
a Start() method or something
summer stump
Either the player is IN the scene. Or you have a gamemanager in the scene that spawns it itself
foggy pine
The same way it would in a singleplayer game
thats what im trying to make
rocky canyon
GameManager or something would take care of htat. if u want them spawned in at runtime
foggy pine
can u share what code u already have?
rocky canyon
^ when the game starts the scripts start method is run..
then it spawns the player/camera/ew
foggy pine
so i attach it to an empty object then it spawns on scene start?

Yep
That empty is typically a GameManager. But that is just meaningless convention
ivory bobcat

The player doesn't usually spawn itself. You'd have a manager that the next scene would interact with to acquire the necessary data for doing whatever it needs to do like spawning.
rocky canyon
public class GameManager : MonoBehaviour
{
public GameObject playerPrefab;
void Start()
{
SpawnPlayer();
}
void SpawnPlayer()
{
//do your thing
}
}```Consider just loading the next scene and having something in the next scene spawn the players for the next scene.
Where you'd pass persistent data with some manager
foggy pine
so far i got this:
rocky canyon
Save your scene ASAP
foggy pine
hey! it worked!
rocky canyon
if ur game crashes ur gonna lose everything
foggy pine
its saved
foggy pine
as of screenshot not saved
rocky canyon
ahh k
foggy pine
as of now saved
rocky canyon
just lookin out for ya 😄

now what happens in the next scene.. u gonna have the script in there too? so it spawns in the player (again)?
foggy pine
no the first scene is the main menu which you press the play button then it switches to the second scene and spawns the player
now time to suffer through a youtube tutorial on multiplayer thisisfine

im following a tutorial and i get and error "you are trying to save a prefab that contains the script which does not derive from monobehaviour" while everythinh matches !!!! pls help

Fix your compile errors first

I tried an bunch of diffrent things
It wants a vector 3 but you're calling it with a single float.

its exciting af but hard
ivory bobcat
Why does it not rotate when i press W?
Log stuff
lethal bolt
This?
ivory bobcat
Or read what you coded
ivory bobcat
Rotate(0,0,0)
ivory bobcat
Probably a new issue
cosmic quail
ig it didnt update?
try Keycode.W

Quick question, how can I apply constant force to a RigidBody ? Like, I have a custom gravity force, and I was using .AddForce, but my object falls and jumps incrediblly slowly. I guess it's because the force it applied each frame, maybe ? Anf thus, how could I fix that ?
pallid nymph
add MORE gravity
pallid nymph
You don't need that with AddForce
(because AddForce with the proper (and default) params does it internally)
queen adder
Yeah you don't use time.deltatime with physics
lethal bolt
Oh
cosmic quail
and u gotta use FixedUpdate
lethal bolt
But How does KeyCode WORK?
summer stump
But How does KeyCode WORK?
It is an enum
ivory bobcat
Or physics force mode impulse
summer stump
It has values
That's about it
cosmic quail
But How does KeyCode WORK?
just type GetKey(Keycode.W) instead of a string in there like you have atm
rocky canyon
because Keycode. is just using straight up Hardcoded keys
when u use "W" thats using the presets in the Input Manager
"Horizontal" "Vertical" type stuff
rocky canyon
im pretty sure.. yea you need the UnityEngine using statement
cosmic quail
I knew that kind of, but do i need to add an unity engine to use it?
the default using statements you have in the script when u create one in the first place are enough, u dont need to add anything
lethal bolt
Am i doing it Wrong then?
cosmic quail
Am i doing it Wrong then?
u removed the Input. from before GetKey. u need that too
also it needs to be an if statement
lethal bolt
Then i guess i need to make if not?
Because now it just spins out of control and does not stop
nvm
I just had to remove ";"
cosmic quail
yeah if-statements dont have a ; after them
lethal bolt
But if i can not make it 0.1 how can i make it slower?
cosmic quail
But if i can not make it 0.1 how can i make it slower?
try 0.1f? cuz floats need an f at the end
fading rapids
the canvas is the highest layer
cosmic quail
try 0.1f? cuz floats need an f at the end
without it, it considers it a double and those are rarely used in unity
lethal bolt
try 0.1f? cuz floats need an f at the end
YES!
rocky canyon
the canvas is the highest layer
reposition it in the heirarchy.
and also get rid of one of ur event system components
u only need 1

or you just rotate it in the same place you rotate the other object, with the same values (and change its pivot to the other object i guess)

hey so i'm in a 2D platforming project (from scratch), and i've been following a tutorial on the rest of this jump script https://hatebin.com/drdiuraqzm, but when i play the controller is letting me jump more than once, no matter what i set the maxairjumps, is this a problem with the jumphase? (i set it as a serializefield in the code to see what it is during gameplay, and i know i should just use logs but this felt easier)
