[polar acorn]

then call that function

[frigid flume]

its done but how do i call that function

[polar acorn]

#💻┃code-beginner message

Choose it

[polar acorn]

That's very much not a function

You said you had a function

[frigid flume]

here's what i have

[polar acorn]

Make a function that does what you want to happen, and call that function from your button

[frigid flume]

oh sorry i think i understood

score++``` right ?

i'm sorry if the misunderstanding came just from the word function

that i misunderstood

[polar acorn]

If you actually make it with proper syntax, yes. That would work

[frigid flume]

i'll show you

so basically, instead of void update that would constantly check if button is pressed, i create void function (linked to button) that starts when button is pressed ?

[swift crag]

It's not a "void update". It's a method called Update that returns void (meaning that it returns nothing)

[hexed terrace]

give it a go and see what happens

[swift crag]

And, yes, that's a reasonable idea

[uncut shoal]

Gamepad gamepad = Gamepad.current;
if (gamepad != null) Vector2 stickL = gamepad.leftStick.ReadValue();

why does this tell me Gamepad isn't a real class?

I do have the InputSystem package installed

[frigid flume]

may be dumb again but... can't find the function now

[uncut shoal]

using UnityEngine.InputSystem; doesn't work either

is it not configured correctly or something?

[cosmic quail]

it must be public

and you must not have errors

[hexed terrace]

it won't show up because you have errors, the compile hasn't finished.
It also must be public.

[polar acorn]

Probably solve all those errors

[swift crag]

do other classes from the input system show up?

[uncut shoal]

let me check

[swift crag]

e.g. PlayerInput

[frigid flume]

yes now it has errors mb but its because i tried to modify

thanks

[uncut shoal]

nope

[swift crag]

If you just installed the new input system, you might need to go to preferences -> external tools -> Regenrate Project Files

kill your code editor and reopen it

Unity needs to generate a new .csproj file for the input system package, and your editor needs to actually see it

[uncut shoal]

Ok let me try thast

yep, worked. Thanks.

👍

[frigid flume]

now that i change to public it showed up

It perfectly works now what a great achievemnt

thanks a lot for your time

[fathom mist]

Here's the inspector btw @polar acorn

[polar acorn]

You've left off the tag

Also this is the inspector for the object with the script, I wanted to see the tag on the thing it's colliding with

[fathom mist]

oooh

the tag is just "Luin"

I made a new one specific to the player character

[polar acorn]

Show the tag anyway

[fathom mist]

This is the error that started popping up again

[acoustic crow]

[fathom mist]

Scene 2 is added to the build settingss though? How do I index it properly?

[polar acorn]

No it isn't

You only have two scenes

there is no third scene

[summer stump]

You NAMED the scene 2

That is not its index

[fathom mist]

Can I change them from 0 - 1 to 1 - 2?

[summer stump]

No

You could add a blank scene as 0...

[fathom mist]

thats what that was for oml

[summer stump]

But it's way smarter to just change your code..

[fathom mist]

OH

yes

[polar acorn]

Instead of trying to load an index that doesn't exist, change it to load one that does instead

[acoustic crow]

wooow that is all?

[summer stump]

can someone help me

..... with what,

[acoustic crow]

i want that looping

[summer stump]

Looping of what?

[acoustic crow]

The Space look the video

The background Space black with start that not have a ending

[fathom mist]

omg it works now thank you

Just need to get the spite to stay loaded in on the next scene haha

[summer stump]

Make the background bigger
Instantiate new backgrounds as it goes
Change the skybox to black so it is less obvious where the end of the background image is

You probably always want like 3 or 9 backgrounds (9 if you can go vertically) always, and when you move onto one of the ones to the side, erase the ones furthest and add new ones in the direction of travel

[rich adder]

I'd change the texturemode to Repeat, make the mesh larger then when it reaches close to edge snap it back

[timber tide]

unity shaders have a tiling parameters you can just run time over to scroll it

[rich adder]

or yeah shaders

[timber tide]

needs to be on repeat too yeah

Vector2 offsetSpeed;
material.SetVector("_Offset", Time.time * offsetSpeed);```
Something like that

[shell sorrel]

yeah would just do it in shader

though i would not constantly be setting a vector on it

[timber tide]

oh wait it's offset

[shell sorrel]

would do it in the shader, but adding time to the uv's

[timber tide]

It shouldnt be setting every frame

[summer stump]

Definitely the way to go. I was just worried about suggesting something like that haha

[timber tide]

well, I can't expect that unity is updating the buffer every frame

[shell sorrel]

oh, so its this just creating a offset based on when it spawend

and its not animating it

because of hte use of time, assumed it was for a real time scrolling

[timber tide]

oh, actually I do have to update time from the variable so i guess I am updating the buffer

no wait, yeah it's a one time set actually the speed is set once, but I need to continuously pass in time

[acoustic crow]

Do you have a tutorial for me

[acoustic crow]

Do you have a tutorial?

[rich adder]

plenty of ones for scrolling backgrounds, but I'd go with a shader as suggested

[timber tide]

Ah, no wait. You're right. If I do it in update then I am constantly setting the buffer because of the time which can just be done in the shader itself.

[shell sorrel]

adding to UV's scrolls, so can just do what i have in my screenshot there

[timber tide]

so either shader graph or edit one of unity's shader

[shell sorrel]

or its pretty simple in hlsl too

[trail verge]

Hi there, I just added a new asset pack and unity created a new sample scene to view it and I cant find my old scene anymore. Does somebody know a solution for this?

[eternal needle]

the scene probably came from the asset pack itself. Search for t:scene in your assets folder and look for your old one. If you didnt save your old scene, then I doubt theres anything you can do. Also not a code question

[honest haven]

    {
        Debug.Log("hover");
        // Check if the display object is not null and active
        if (displayObject != null && !displayObject.activeSelf)
        {
            // Display the object
            displayObject.SetActive(true);
        }
    }
``` i cant get this to work, This is a UI object would that stop it from working

[fading rapids]

Hi, In my game i have 2 scenes the main menu where you click start game and the game itself i have a simple script to make an invisible layer (pause menu) appear when you click on pause button the script for it is in the screenshot, in the pause menu it also has a button which says exit if i click on it it send me back to my main menu but when you click play the game starts in timescale 0

anyone know how to fix this

it does start with timescale 1

[rich adder]

fix what?

[fading rapids]

that my game starts with time.timescale 0 after i click exit on my pause menu and then click play

[summer stump]

Where do you call resume?
And does Pausegame get destroyed? Like is this moving between scenes?

[acoustic crow]

How do I make everything line up? If I go down with the scale I have to adjust everything and if I drag longer it's blurry

[fading rapids]

also in the puase menu when i click continue button

[summer stump]

Is this script on the pausemenu?

[fading rapids]

no its on a emoty object

it is working tho

[rich adder]

and did you debug the value of time scale in the next scene ?

[summer stump]

Well, the timescale part is not working, right?

That's what I'm trying to debug

[fading rapids]

the resume is working

[frigid flume]

hey, why can't i select any of my TMP here please ? ^^

[summer stump]

But... timescale going to 1 is not...

[rich adder]

TextMeshPro != TextMeshProUGUI btw

[summer stump]

Which points to resume NOT fully working

Or timescale being set somewhere else

[rich adder]

I think timescale is a static value that carries over

[fading rapids]

yes it is

[summer stump]

Yep

[rich adder]

so where are you setting it back @fading rapids

[fading rapids]

can i make it so if i clcik my play button on a diff scene it sets my timescale for the next scene to 1

[rich adder]

do the same thing you do for resume ?

[fading rapids]

oh the timescale

[rich adder]

or maybe put an if condition ? so many ways to do it

[fading rapids]

isnt only for one scene its for my whole project

i understand now

thank you

[rich adder]

yeah you're modifying the setting inisde the unity project settings afaik

its a "global" value iirc like Gravity vel

[fading rapids]

yes thank you

[tender mirage]

Should i watch the code monkey full course on youtube?

Also is 3D fine to play around with as a beginner?

[tender mirage]

Of course, I'll take a look at it.

[fading rapids]

now why is this not working

[rich adder]

how are you calling pause ?

if thats a button , putting KeyDown inside of it is a baddd idea

[fading rapids]

im not using a button

pressing q

shouldmake the pause page visible

it doesnt

[rich adder]

well why would it if you're not calling those methods anywhere

Inputs should be polled inside Update

to call a method you want

[fading rapids]

ohyeah true

so i dont need the new voids anywhere

[rich adder]

new voids, idk what you mean by that

[fading rapids]

xD

sorry dont know the terms

public void pause()

[rich adder]

oh those are methods

I would still keep them

just dont put the inputs in there

[fading rapids]

okay

[summer stump]

if (input)
{
Pause()
}

[frigid flume]

Thanks ;)

https://gdl.space/hemoritewa.cpp

there isnt any compiler issues but unity says so

any idea why?

[fading rapids]

how would i make it so escape key works for both pause and resume

[rich adder]

either ur ide is not configured or ur mistaking Null Reference Exception for compiler error

[queen adder]

I switched back to windows so its configured

[rich adder]

make a bool that you toggle
eg

void Update(){
        if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Escape)) { Pause(); }
    }
    bool isPaused;
    void Pause(){
        isPaused = !isPaused;
        if(isPaused) // stuff
        else // otherstuff
    }```

[fading rapids]

okay lemme try

[queen adder]

no null reference exception

[slender nymph]

please use your configured IDE to format your code before copy/pasting it because that is unreadable

[queen adder]

I can ask chatgpt to do that wait a sec

[slender nymph]

no

[safe aspen]

navarone or boxfriend, what do you see wrong there? because if i type them otherwise i get errors

[slender nymph]

show me in the documentation where you see the onDrawGizmos method

[queen adder]

https://gdl.space/osikiyomep.cs

[queen adder]

why not it doesnt write any extra code just tidies it up

[slender nymph]

this is not onDrawGizmos. this is OnDrawGizmos

[slender nymph]

you should be using your IDE to format it so that you are actually reading and writing legible code

[slender nymph]

screenshot the entire IDE window

[queen adder]

yes I tried edit advanced format document

it doesnt tidy it as good as chatgpt

[rich adder]

where does unity say compiler errors

[safe aspen]

oh damn , thank you! feeling blind rn lol

[queen adder]

in unity

on game screen

[slender nymph]

what are the error(s) that unity shows

[rich adder]

can you show the actual console window

[slender nymph]

i have no idea what this tiny ass sliver is supposed to show. but yeah you should show your actual console window

[queen adder]

here

[queen adder]

its console window isnt it?

[rich adder]

I have a feeling errors are being collapsed/filtered out

[slender nymph]

no, that is a tiny ass sliver that shows nothing. open the actual window that has the title Console

[queen adder]

hmm I dont see it let me google it real quick

[slender nymph]

https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/Console.html

[queen adder]

how to fix

[rich adder]

just show us the entire console window first

[frigid flume]

can i put an emoji in a changed text like this ? i can't save the script when i try

should i ?

[wintry quarry]

It shouldn't be a problem afaik but just note that you'll need a font that supports the emoji if you want it to show up in game.

I don't speak French so I can't make heads or tails of that warning.

[lethal bolt]

Why does Only the S button work

I think its something with the IF

[wintry quarry]

The W if statement has nothing to do with the if/else below

so if you're NOT pressing S, you will get the else

[queen adder]

fixed it myself after seeing console windows. I thought that grey little rectangle was console windows my bad

[wintry quarry]

you probably want this structure:

if w
else if s
else```

also you should fix your formatting, it is atrocious

another nit - m_eulerAngleVelocity not "eurler"

[eternal needle]

Try using the unicode for it, if it doesnt work

[frigid flume]

the unicode doesn't work ^^

[eternal needle]

Should work fine, as I've used unicode to show emojis. What specifically doesnt work

[frigid flume]

i type the unicode and it shows the code

but anyways the font cant support the emoji i tried

[rich adder]

https://fonts.google.com/noto/specimen/Noto+Emoji

[frigid flume]

i was on the same page x)

thx

but it doesn't work either sadly ^^

[rich adder]

what doesnt work exactly?

[frigid flume]

i have a square instead of an emoji

using noto

[rich adder]

in TMP/

or Unity

might be unity engine itself

[frigid flume]

i applied noto font to a tmp

[rich adder]

are sure you selected all the characters when creating TMP asset font

[frigid flume]

i import the .ttf file then selected it

oh lol

[rich adder]

pretty sure that wont work without converting it to TMP asset

[frigid flume]

i think it works

i'll try

[rich adder]

ofc it does

[frigid flume]

but how do i select all these files in the font creator ?

[rich adder]

choose Extended ASCII, should work

[frigid flume]

where do i find that ?

no

[frigid flume]

i found it but

it dosn't work x)

[rich adder]

weird..its working for me

are you sure you copied the correct unicode emoji

[frigid flume]

i'll try again but

how could i fail that

[rich adder]

some don't work

[frigid flume]

well it works a bit

[wintry quarry]

You simply haven't included whichever emoji you are trying to use

there are a crapload of emojis

[frigid flume]

how do i do that ? ^^'

[wintry quarry]

in huge different swathes of the unicode code space

[frigid flume]

how can i include an emoji if it's not included in noto font

[wintry quarry]

look up the emojis you want, find their unicode code points and make sure they're included int he character set you choose. If needed use a "custom rangle" which uncludes the codepoints you want

If the emoji isn't in the font, it won't work at all

it needs to be in the font and you need to include it in your character set

https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.textmeshpro@3.2/manual/FontAssetsCreator.html#font-asset-creator-settings

[frigid flume]

thanks i'll give it a try later :)

[wintry quarry]

The "Characters from a file" mode might be convenient for you.

[frigid flume]

seems a bit complicated ^^' it is compatible with another font right ?

like using this i can add an emoji to comic ms ?

[fading rapids]

does timescale slow down time aswel?

[wintry quarry]

As well as what? What does it slow down besides time?

[fading rapids]

xd nvm i forgot speed also has to do with time

and gravity

etc

[rich adder]

also accepts a range you can specify too

[frigid flume]

i think i'll add sprites instead it seems to be easier

[quaint crystal]

why does Directory.GetFiles() return strings with extra backslashes in only part of the returned path? the following is after i wrote it to a json file

{
  "files": [
    "D:/Personal/Hobbies/C#/Unity/Project Primary/Assets/resources\\Textures\\dev\\dev_fade.tga",
    "D:/Personal/Hobbies/C#/Unity/Project Primary/Assets/resources\\Textures\\player\\grade_bad.tga",
  ]
}

[river roost]

Backslashes is the preferred path separator in windows

I assume you wrote the first part with forward slashes

[short hazel]

That's normal. Like in C#, backslashes are used to escape (ignore) the next character. That's how you can write quotes, newlines, tabs, etc. inside JSON values: ```
"some JSON" value"

Upon deserializing, they will be converted to a single backslash in the string.

[quaint crystal]

oh interesting. thank you

[quaint crystal]

yes the first part was using

Application.DataPath + "/resources"

getfiles/json did the rest

[wintry quarry]

Use Path.Combine instead of string concatenation

[short hazel]

You'd want to use Path.Combine(Application.dataPath, "resources") instead. It handles operating systems where the directory separator is different.

[quaint crystal]

thank you for the tip

[native seal]

whats the best way to do damage numbers in a 2d game? just instantiate a text then remove or use particles?

[rocky canyon]

pooling system.. dont instantiate

[rich adder]

yea

[short hazel]

inclusive or moment

[rocky canyon]

have X amount of text elements that u can reuse..

[short hazel]

X or Y?
"yes"

But yeah not sure if that's even possible to do with particles easily, you're better off instantiating or reusing a prefab with a TMP_Text on it

Hi, I'm working on implementing a leaderboard for my game. I've installed the SDK and set up a leaderboard in my Unity Cloud project. I'm writing a script to update it in my game and display it on my scene, but it's not working. I'm not sure which exact functions to use. Can anyone help me?

[rich adder]

the functions are listed in the docs

[faint elk]

[novel thorn]

guys how do i manage collisions between 2 prefabs with the same script

same tag also

i just cant figure it out :c

[rich adder]

did you not put Debug.Log inside update ?

[faint elk]

there is one in the update

[rich adder]

and its not printing ?

[faint elk]

nope

[rich adder]

so your script is not running

[faint elk]

no its running

[rich adder]

Debug.Log missing says otherwise

[faint elk]

i found it. It got overloaded

[polar acorn]

What do you mean by "manage"?

[north kiln]

if you only want one side to trigger, compare their instanceids

[novel thorn]

i have a prefab, i want to collide with other gameobject created with the same prefab
if they collide they run the collider function twice

[polar acorn]

Do you care which one runs the function? Or do you just need to make sure only one of them runs?

[novel thorn]

they are creatures, so if you drag one to another they breed a third

so i need to get data from both to make the new prefab with that data

[polar acorn]

Okay, so it doesn't matter which one actually runs the function. So, you can check if the other object you collided with has the same script, and if it does, check their InstanceIDs like vertx suggested.
https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Object.GetInstanceID.html

They'll have unique IDs, so you just have them check it and if the other object's InstanceID is higher than this one's, don't do the function. In any collision, only one will ever run

[novel thorn]

so any of the prefabs will have a unique id?

and will be higher in a new prefab

[rich adder]

the gameObject will

[novel thorn]

okay yeah, sorry

[north kiln]

None of them are "prefabs" at this point. At runtime the concept of a prefab doesn't exist

[novel thorn]

the new gameobject generated by the prefab

[frigid sequoia]

Does the order of component assignment in the inspector matter at all?

[north kiln]

If your code relies on it then your code's the problem

[autumn tusk]

ok im wondering here

im working on a teleportation system for a stationary enemy

basically if you get out of range of an enemy it teleports to your position with an offset

how would i add an offset

[polar acorn]

What's the error say

[rich adder]

adding a float to 3 floats will not work

[autumn tusk]

i am aware

[north kiln]

https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/VectorCookbook.html
See Direction and Distance from One Object to Another

you want a normalized direction scaled by the distance you want to move

[polar acorn]

So what direction are you trying to add that value to

Hey there. I'm trying to make a grid gameobject to visualise A*. Anyway, I'd like the grid to be customisable in size and have different obstacles etc. Is there some kind of way to create a custom object type that would let me customise (and see the customisations) in the Scene window? Ideally would be similar to how you can create a "3D Object" and it comes with certain components already on it. I could do it at runtime using scripts etc but it feels a little clunky to have to spend ages fetching each cell's behaviour script just to change

[rich adder]

not sure what you're asking here tbh, sounds like a mix of custom components and editor scripts

Hello, I have a problem with unity new input system. It is not reading mouse delta right now. I have set Action to value - vector2 and binding to delta mouse but I get no values when I move my mouse. Gamepad works fine but mouse is not working. Any ideas why is that happening?

[wanton hearth]

Can someone tell me the simplest event method that gets a MouseDown/Up event? Like, for any click in the game window, regardless of context.

I'm just protoyping and found a couple different options in Unity docs, but they seem to be associated with UI systems?

[polar acorn]

Any click any where?

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Input.GetMouseButtonDown.html

[wanton hearth]

yes, i'm trying to do a downdrag and release thing. where upon mousedowndragging, some game logic starts, upon release it stops

upon mousedown, rather

[wanton hearth]

Ah, thanks. I don't know why Unity needs different mouse events for all it's various systems

[polar acorn]

It doesn't, you were just looking at how to detect when you clicked on something

if you just need to know when a button was clicked, that's input

[wanton hearth]

[vital crow]

yes

[teal viper]

What makes you think so? Is it mentioned in the docs?

[arctic harbor]

trying to make the camera of a 2d platformer smoothly follow the player so sudden movements aren't as jarring (ie from the player respawning elsewhere or teleporting). i've applied the stuff here https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Vector3.SmoothDamp.html to my existing code and it does seem to work in making the camera smoothly move over after teleporting, but the camera overall has some weird jittering to it (can't seem to record it with a recorder). anyone have some suggestions?

    public float leftLimit = 4.34375f;
    public float rightLimit = 999.65625f;
    public float smoothTime = .3f;
    private Vector3 velocity = Vector3.zero;
    private float intermediateCameraPosition;

    private void LateUpdate()
    {
        intermediateCameraPosition = Vector3.SmoothDamp(transform.position, targetTransform.position, ref velocity, smoothTime).x;
        transform.position = new Vector3(Mathf.Clamp(intermediateCameraPosition, leftLimit, rightLimit), transform.position.y, -10);
    }```

[vital crow]

i need it, i just want to know how to attach a username to a score

[teal viper]

That doesn't answer my question.

If the docs don't mention it, then there's probably no way to do it.

[vital crow]

so for you a leaderbord is just a list of scores?

[teal viper]

It doesn't matter what it is for me. What matters is what the service and it's API allow. And it's defined in the docs.

[rich adder]

pretty sure unity uses a dictionary

oh nvm thats for the meta data

https://docs.unity.com/ugs/en-us/manual/leaderboards/manual/add-new-score

just so you know the username comes from the unity auth..

[vital crow]

yes ty! but i just wanted to know if its possible to change the "name" in the lb

[native seal]

which one is preferable?

[frigid sequoia]

There is no way of setting any variable based on another outside of runtime right?

Like... link these two values by default on the script preset itself, it should be in the declared on the weigthedList only correct?

[summer stump]

Incorrect. You can do it with editor scripts

#↕️┃editor-extensions has resources pinned iirc

[frigid sequoia]

Which one?

[gleaming nymph]

I have that script:

    {
        if(Statistics.IsMovingObject == true)
        {
            Statistics.MovedObject.transform.position = CameraTransform.transform.position + CameraTransform.transform.forward * distance;
        }
    }

public void MoveObject()
    {
        if (Statistics.IsMovingObject == false)
        {
            rb = Statistics.MovedObject.GetComponent<Rigidbody>();
            Statistics.MovedObject.transform.parent = Player.transform;
            Statistics.IsMovingObject = true;
            rb.isKinematic = true;
            rb.detectCollisions = false;
        }
    }```

Its code for moving items by using mouse0 on it.
And its working (not full code). Object stand in front of player.

But i have problem, objects are shaking / trembling / idk how to explain when moving.

Sending settings of rigidbody:

[summer stump]

What do you mean which one? I mean YOU make an editor script

[rich adder]

use pooling. up to you if you want UI dmg numbers or TextMeshPro mesh

[summer stump]

Don't use a transform to move when using Rigidbodies

[gleaming nymph]

I turned off collisions and turned on kinematic, so if u say i should not use transform what should i do?

[summer stump]

Use the rigidbody

MovePosition works with kinematic

[gleaming nymph]

oh

[tender stag]

calculation in HandleSpeed calculates how much force to add to reach speed limit, problem with it is that it doesnt add the force in the slopeMoveDirection because slopeMoveDirection is only used in the targetVelocity calculation and not in the final calculation, so the force doesnt get added in the direction of the slope but just forward which causes my character to bounce when walking down a slope since the force is added forward and not down for example with the slope angle

Handle Input - Update ```x = Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal");
y = Input.GetAxisRaw("Vertical");

moveDirection = orientation.forward * y + orientation.right * x;
slopeMoveDirection = Vector3.ProjectOnPlane(moveDirection, slopeHit.normal);```

Handle Speed - Update ```Vector3 targetVelocity = slopeMoveDirection.normalized * moveSpeed;
Vector3 velocityDifference = targetVelocity - rb.velocity;

slopeMoveVelocity = new Vector3(velocityDifference.x, 0, velocityDifference.z);```

Handle Movement - Fixed Update rb.AddForce(slopeMoveVelocity * acceleration);

basically what i need to do is to include the slopeMoveDirection.normalized in the final calculation to add the force in the direction of the slope instead of just straight as its doing now because slopeMoveDirection.normalized is not involved

[barren wing]

señoras, i have a problem, this code, teleports an object (aliados) below the feet of the player even if its on the air?

basically something like this xd

[rich adder]

start by debugging if that line is reached to set position

also good idea to make sure sure the ray is long enough

Debug.DrawRay

[barren wing]

can't

thats the code of a friend xd

ill tell him

ty

[polar acorn]

Why would you ask a code question if you cannot change any of the code

[barren wing]

he isn't in the server

[frigid sequoia]

How, I though you meant like a package... you mean like customazing the editor manually

[tender stag]

then invite him

[barren wing]

im just tryna help :^(

[barren wing]

thats...

actually not a bad idea

xd

[frigid sequoia]

But this is meant to be store as prefabs, I don't think is very usefull is that's the case...

[teal viper]

What exactly are you trying to do?

[frigid sequoia]

I have these "orbs" that are just like powerUp pickups, they are meant to spawn as reward after doing certain stuff, but the one that generates is randomized, based on their rarity level, so I just though it would be more manageable if the rarity had a correlation to the amount of weight it has on the pool on the orb prefab itself rather than assigning it from the weightedPool, but maybe I am just wrong

[gleaming nymph]

can u tell me how can i turn my function in to moveposition? thank u

[summer stump]

That is correct

[summer stump]

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Rigidbody.MovePosition.html
Just gotta plug the direction into the method

[whole badge]

Newbie here, if i create a 2d rpg pokemon clone on desktop, can i make it run on the iphone later? or do i have to code the game with ios in mind from the beginning?

[tender stag]

anyone please?

[summer stump]

You can build it for iphone yes, without any major changes

You need an iphone to test jt though afaik, and a mac to build it? Not 100% sure

[whole badge]

I see, my question is, ANYTHING you make on unity can be run on ios? Or are there things I need to look out when coding for steam vs ios

[gleaming nymph]

tried by typying same parameters and multiply by deltatime and speed but its not working properly

[summer stump]

Maybe best for #📱┃mobile

[gleaming nymph]

its teleporting

[frigid sequoia]

Also, just something unrelated (and probably not that much important cause I have to implement each powerUp separetely anyways and I could set the description from the script), I want to have a description on the script that is just a string parameter to set in the inspector. How can I make it like have paragraph and stuff? Like can I change the format? Should I just not be using just a string for that?

[summer stump]

Just like using transform.position, moveposition is a teleportation kinda thing

Gotta know a little more about what you mean to help though

[gleaming nymph]

its teleporting by ~ 3 seconds, not moving smoothly

i add same parameters like in script i send, and on end multiply by time deltatime and speed 5f

[low path]

What do you mean teleporting by 3 seconds?

[gleaming nymph]

it stands in one positions for ~ 2/3 seconds and then teleports for new

its not moving smoothly like its should, its teleporting

[summer stump]

It'd be really helpful if you just posted the up to date code 🤷‍♂️

No way we can help without it

[gleaming nymph]

CameraTransform.transform.position + CameraTransform.transform.forward * distance * Time.deltaTime * m_speed

sorry im on phone now

thats parameters

of moveposition

[summer stump]

It's important to know the context of the code, so wait until you can post the whole thing

But having distance AND speed is worrying

Hopefully this was moved to FixedUpdate? That's where all physics movement should take place (like in the docs link I sent earlier)

[gleaming nymph]

i want to tp object in front of player camera (first person game) with distance from player

[gleaming nymph]

yes in fixedupdate

[summer stump]

So the camera is moving and the object follows it? Then you definitely don't want those parameters

[gleaming nymph]

i think i should make one position and then multiply by time and speed

[summer stump]

And the movement of the camera is likely the issue with jerkiness from the very beginning

[soft steppe]

Hi with my character controller script every time i go down stairs/slopes the speed is really slow compared to going up, i have tried multiple "fixes" i found online but none worked for me.
anyway this is my movement script and gravity
Movement:

private void movePlayer(Vector2 ctx)
{
    if (!characterController.isGrounded)
    {
        return;
    }
    CurrentVelocity = Vector3.zero;
    Vector3 moveDirection = new Vector3(ctx.x, 0f, ctx.y);
    if (moveDirection.magnitude > 1f)
    {
        moveDirection.Normalize();
    }
    moveDirection = transform.TransformDirection(moveDirection);
    characterController.Move(moveDirection * (isSprinting ? playerSprintSpeed : playerSpeed) * Time.deltaTime);

}

and Gravity :

private void applyGravity()
{
    Ray groundCheckRay = new Ray(transform.position, Vector3.down);
    if (Physics.Raycast(groundCheckRay, 1.25f) || characterController.isGrounded)
    {
        CurrentVelocity.y = -2f; 
    }
    else
    {
        CurrentVelocity.y -= GravityForce * Time.deltaTime;
    }
    CurrentVelocity.x -= Mathf.Clamp(CurrentVelocity.x, -Drag, Drag) * Time.deltaTime;
    CurrentVelocity.z -= Mathf.Clamp(CurrentVelocity.z, -Drag, Drag) * Time.deltaTime;

    if (Mathf.Abs(CurrentVelocity.x) < 0.001f)
    {
        CurrentVelocity.x = 0f;
    }
    if (Mathf.Abs(CurrentVelocity.z) < 0.001f)
    {
        CurrentVelocity.z = 0f;
    }
    characterController.Move(CurrentVelocity * PlayerMass * Time.deltaTime);
}

[obtuse osprey]

im like completely brand new to coding other then like hello world in python and am trying to start off by making a 2d game with no animation or hardly any maybe just basic ones buti cant find any good guides? anyone have any helpful links?

[gleaming nymph]

i think it was working but object was little shaking

[obtuse osprey]

im mostly focoused on making a simple game with good features and play to eventualy make it 3d and alot more advanced

[slender nymph]

rather than diving right in, you should go through a structured course that teaches you the concepts you'll need to know. there are some excellent c# courses pinned in this channel and the pathways on the unity !learn site are an excellent introduction to the engine and basic game dev concepts

[sage folio]

hey, i made a blend tree for my jump animation, i have the jump, falling, and landing animation all together inside, what i'm wondering is how do i increase and decrease the number in my script? i have a 2 if statements, one for when i push the jump button, and one that checks if you are on the ground

[arctic harbor]

Anyone? Ignore the audio

[rocky canyon]

cinemachine
it has a component that'll do all this for you..
can define the deadzones, how tightly it follows, smoothness, all that

[sterile moon]

How do I set my game up to not use URP or HRRP, just default render pipeline, I need some features of the camera that are not availble in URP

[rich adder]

not really a code question, just remove the packges

[arctic harbor]

if this is to me, i'd rather figure out what's wrong with my implementation than to import some package i have zero familiarity with for one single issue

[sterile moon]

ah, shit, easy enough lol

[dark laurel]

❤️

racking up those imaginary internet points for a big shopping trip

[arctic harbor]

okay so moving
intermediateCameraPosition = Vector3.SmoothDamp(transform.position, targetTransform.position, ref velocity, smoothTime).x;
into FixedUpdate seems to resolve the issue...but why...?

[dark laurel]

You should use cinemachine unless you really wanna tackle this one yourself.. cinemachine does everything you're looking for and is likely much much easier.

[teal viper]

If you really want to avoid jittering, you should make sure your rb is using interpolation and do whatever smoothing you want in regular update.

[dark laurel]

But as far as your question is concerned - you'll wanna look up the unity lifecycle and become aware of when in the cycle stuff all happens, like physics and rendering - it's likely you've got some logic on your camera that is tied to physics, which doesn't happen in Update, it's in FixedUpdate.. but I'll admit I only skimmed the above convo, so I apologize if that's off the mark

[arctic harbor]

rb interpolation set to none/interpolate/extrapolate seems to have no effect

[arctic harbor]

yes, my camera position is determined in LateUpdate while the rb it targets moves in FixedUpdate

to my knowledge unity tries to run FixedUpdate by default 50 times a second, regardless of framerate, while Update runs once per frame and FixedUpdate once per frame after every Update has run

[teal viper]

That's what the interpolation is for. If it doesn't change anything, then you're breaking it by moving or rotating in a wrong way.

[arctic harbor]

okay maybe interpolate does work...? seems the interpolate option doesn't change properly if changed in play mode...

if set the rb to interpolate, then start play mode, it seems to work fine, but if i switch it to none while still in play mode, it jitters, and if i set it back to interpolate (again while still in play mode) the jittering remains

i'll look into cinemachine for future projects but this one i'm currently working on isn't supposed to be a big one and i don't think i'm gonna need to touch the camera anymore after this so

[timid quartz]

if I were modeling something that was meant to be the same size as the unity default "Plane" mesh, how big would that be? I think this means 10 by 10, right?

but, like, 10 by 10 what? meters?

[north kiln]

Unity's units are meters, yes

[timid quartz]

awesome, thank you

[teal viper]

That's weird. It should be updated correctly at runtime too.

[shell sorrel]

keep in mind unity uses meters, but what matters us how you use it

like means very little if you art is very tiny or huge and generally not adhering to 1 unit == 1 meter

[tender stag]

anyone?

[arctic harbor]

oh yeah what's the point of private Vector3 velocity = Vector3.zero; and ref velocity in the example in the SmoothDamp documentation? https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Vector3.SmoothDamp.html

actually maybe i should ask what the ref velocity in transform.position = Vector3.SmoothDamp(transform.position, targetPosition, ref velocity, smoothTime); does too

[nimble apex]

rendering an UI image is less expensive than rendering a mesh right? for 99% situations, assume theyre using the same texture(source image)

because rn the previous members in my team use meshes + texture to render all UI images

[night mural]

how many verts are the meshes? if they're just quads it should be pretty much the same

[nimble apex]

i gotta check on that lol

[nimble apex]

it turns out that the meshes are just a simple rectangle lmao

wait

oh i see why they did that

[teal viper]

ref means that you pass the variable by reference, so any changes inside the method are applied to the passed in variable.

[arctic harbor]

looking through the documentation again, so

1. is SmoothDamp basically storing inside velocity the camera's velocity
2. velocity can be used by something else that might need the camera's velocity, but the example itself does not show that
   am i understanding how SmoothDamp is working here?

[teal viper]

It's not storing anything. It's modifying the variable that you pass into it.

[arctic harbor]

that's what i meant

point is we can then later use velocity for something else right

[teal viper]

Sure

[arctic harbor]

and i assume cinemachine actually gives you more control over the easing function

[teal viper]

You can google "unity SmoothDamp GitHub" and look at the source code of the function if you want.

[teal viper]

Cinemachine does a lot of stuff. It's not just easing.

[arctic harbor]

well yes but just for example if i wanted a sharper ease in and out function or linear or something

[teal viper]

Yes, cinemachine provides all kinds of settings related to camera movement.

[arctic harbor]

okay thank you

[pliant ridge]

hey im trying to setparent a 1 by 1 by 1 sphere to a cube scaled 20x20x1 but the spheres get stretched for some reason no matter what i do

im spawning them at the end of a RaycastHit

[rich adder]

well

you are parenting them

the child inherits the scale

[pliant ridge]

is there any way to not have them get scaled poorly

[rich adder]

have the cube have parent with 1,1,1 scale and parent it to that instead

[pliant ridge]

thats an issue

because

i want to be able to spawn these spheres parented to literally anything in my scene

so that would require everything in my scene having an empty parent

[rich adder]

usually should never be mixing scaling/graphics with the root objects

and the collider if must exist on parent for RB reasons, then the collider component gets the sizing not the object transform

[pliant ridge]

so i have to make a parent on everything and gett that

thats so much more work ugh

ok

this is literally for like an assignment i didnt wanna put that much effort in

[rich adder]

You could try maybe creating a gameobject at runtime and parent it to that

dunno if it will work

[pliant ridge]

wdym

[rich adder]

I think if you make another chilld at the hit.point then parent the sphere to that instead of the one with scale. (Some performance implications though with new() GameObject each hit)

[teal viper]

You could try resetting the lossy scale(I think it was?) After parenting.

[pliant ridge]

okay wait

no nm

[pliant ridge]

whats that

[teal viper]

Oh wait, it's read only

[pliant ridge]

i c

[night mural]

why do you need the parenting? you could use constraints instead if that's what you are looking for https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/class-PositionConstraint.html

[pliant ridge]

uh i just want stuff to rotate with things and such

[night mural]

https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/class-RotationConstraint.html

[pliant ridge]

position constraints seem like a lot more work in code

[night mural]

not really, you just assign the object to the constraint instead of as a parent

[pliant ridge]

how do i do that in code

[night mural]

readthedocs https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/Constraints.html

it is lame that they have no code examples but you're just adding your 'parent' as the constraint source

[pliant ridge]

its not workin

i added constraints to my prefab for the sphere

[night mural]

when you add a source, does its weight default to 0?

might need to set that too (and don't add it twice? why are you adding it twice?)

[pliant ridge]

weight is 1

[native seal]

anyone know what this is referring to?

[pliant ridge]

theres a position one and a rotation one

[night mural]

the constraint has a weight and each source has a weight

[night mural]

oh ha, good point

there is also a direct 'parent' constraint which might save you from having to do both https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/class-ParentConstraint.html

[teal viper]

Refers to the canvas scaler component on disable function

[pliant ridge]

ok when i set the weight to 1 they started going into the middle of the object

[native seal]

yes but is there a reason why it is taking up 6 mb of gc alloc

when I dont disable it or enable it

[night mural]

well that's where the object's position is

it has an offset i think, that you can set if you want it to stick where it hit

[pliant ridge]

ah

i see the issue

i have no idea how to do that lol

i need it to spawn at the end of a raycast

then be parented to whatever the raycast hit

[night mural]

under constraint settings, there's a 'position offset'

[solid sail]

Can't "Time.time" be used in delegate?

[pliant ridge]

but like, how do i make the position offset what it needs to be

for it to be where the raycast hit the object

[teal viper]

It seems to be disabled with the GameObject that is being deactivated. As for why it is being so heavy, it's hard to say. Try with deep profiling mode.

[night mural]

oh, it'll be the difference of the position of the parent position and the object's current position (or i guess the hit point, in your case)

[teal viper]

It can

[night mural]

https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/VectorCookbook.html

[native seal]

okay, do I even need it though? I disabled it on my world canvas health bar and nothing seemed to change

no idea why it was even there

i assume some component automatically added it

[pliant ridge]

not workin in a weird way

wait

im dumb

[teal viper]

It helps if your game is gonna be played at different resolutions, so that the UI is scaled accordingly.

[foggy pine]

yo guys what is the best way to make a game multiplayer?

[teal viper]

I think canvas adds it by default.

[solid sail]

How is this error?

[pliant ridge]

its still slightly off

[teal viper]

You're calling it from a background thread.

The problem is not the delegate itself, but where it is called from.

[solid sail]

Ohh I recall the delegate are called in ReceiveCallback

[pliant ridge]

theyre spawning on like the opposite side of where they should be

[solid sail]

What if I want get time in background thread? Is there any alternative way?

[teal viper]

Not really. Well, could cache it in some field on the main thread and access the cached value.🤔

[solid sail]

Thx. I c

[pliant ridge]

I GOT IT

i needed to use inversetransformdirection

yippee!

[native seal]

say the rigidbody on my projectiles have continious detection on but my enemies have discrete on. Is that a waste since the projectiles will still miss detections due to the enemies mode?

turning continous on for enemies tanks fps so

[teal viper]

It would help in half of the cases imho.

Specifically, if the collision was triggered by the projectile moving.

[native seal]

okay so keep it on

[faint sluice]

Depends on who's checking for collisions

Projectile or enemies? If projectile are checking collision you're fine, if enemies are checking collision you're not fine

[native seal]

projectile is

but its still missing when its flying fast

so i figured it was because the enemy was on discrete

[faint sluice]

If speed is too much it can still miss even if both have continuous on

Because it checks for collision every frame

Say projectile is still yet to touch the enemy in first frame, but if it's already passed the enemy in the next there won't be any collision detected

[native seal]

so no way to improve detection past that

[faint sluice]

Raycast

[native seal]

so at a certain speed turn projectiles into raycasts?

[faint sluice]

No you normally want to have either one system in your game.. either all bullets are physical or all bullets are raycasts

[native seal]

so if they were physical no way around it

raycasts wouldnt really make sense

[north kiln]

It does a sweep every (physics) frame. The times where it may miss tend to be two fast moving bodies or angular movement

[faint sluice]

What i meant by raycast was if you really want to have a physical bullet you can check for collision by raycast when you fire the object , and if raycast returns the collision. You can manually calculate how many seconds later the collision occurs and then call the collision on desired object after that duration

[native seal]

ah okay

interesting

would that be efficient with 100s of projectiles and enemies?

[faint sluice]

But yeah this method has downside of its own because you can't predict that enemies will stay in the same position when bullets reach them

[teal viper]

That's what the continuous collision detection is for.

[faint sluice]

What does "it does a sweep every frame" mean? Sorry English is not my first language

[north kiln]

https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/sweep-based-ccd.html

[faint sluice]

Ohhh wow ok my bad then.. i don't know why I always thought continuous detects collision every frame

[native seal]

so any idea why my projectiles are missing?

even on continuous

[north kiln]

Are you using Box, Sphere or Capsule colliders?

[native seal]

circle 2d

[north kiln]

Ah, 2D

[native seal]

yep

[teal viper]

That's what discreet(the default) collision detection does. There isn't any lower precision option than that 😅

[faint sluice]

Discrete does it every physics frame no?

That's why it's accuracy is ass for even remotely fast objects

[teal viper]

Yes. All of them do it every physics frame. Checking collision in regular update would probably be a bad idea

[north kiln]

Physics only operates on fixed update, there's never a time it occurs on a frame. It's only moved every frame if interpolation or extrapolation is enabled, but that doesn't mean it's doing any physics calculations

[north kiln]

Is it passing through only at high speed?

And is one of the bodies static, or are both dynamic

[native seal]

both dynamic

and when the projectiles are at high speeds they are passing through

[teal viper]

The other involved object is also moving and doesn't have continuous detection, so there's plenty of room for it missing.

[north kiln]

I am unfamiliar with 2D, but they don't seem to distinguish a Continuous Dynamic, so perhaps they only support it against static

[native seal]

there is a continous option though

[north kiln]

Yes, which in 3D means dynamic bodies sweep against static ones

3D also has a Continuous Dynamic, which does dynamic-dynamic sweeps, but I am unfamiliar with 2D and don't know whether its Continuous is Continuous Dynamic or not

[native seal]

okay

[acoustic sun]

What is back.cs?

I heard it comes with Unity

[north kiln]

Explain where you got this information

Surely if you read this somewhere you would provide some context

[acoustic sun]

I was told that my back.cs script has been delted. It was part of an assignment I was doing for class. I accidently saved it as a score file but, it crashed everything so I ended up deleting it.

[frosty hound]

Where did you "hear" that it comes with Unity?

[summer stump]

Do you mean cs.bak?
I saw that on google.
https://forum.unity.com/threads/external-source-control-cs-bak-and-cs-bak-meta.101946/
I haven't heard of that or back.cs before though

[acoustic sun]

I belive so. It was saying somethin that I had a script attached to my main camera? Does the main camera have a scipt?

[summer stump]

What hahaha?

So far nothing you've said makes any sense

[acoustic sun]

Im sorry I am new to unity

[summer stump]

I guess to answer your first question: no one seems to have heard of back.cs or have any idea what it is.
You've been asked who told you it was a thing, but haven't answered it. Then brought up cameras, saying "it" was saying something.
What is it? Who told you about back.cs? What are you actually asking?

That would help clarify, so that we could answer you

[faint sluice]

You probably created a script called "back.cs" attached to camera , and when you ran the program something unexpected happened, you blamed the back.cs file and deleted it, and now it shows you got warning that a script is missing on camera?

[acoustic sun]

Yup thats correct

[summer stump]

Then no, it does not come with unity
It came from... you

[eternal needle]

Has your class taught version control yet? If not (and if you're not using it) then start using it.
The script is likely just in your recycling bin.

[acoustic sun]

Okay. Im still getting the issue that it cannot open my OneDrive\Library\Bee\artifacts\2000b0aE.dag\Assembly-CSharp.dll'. I have tried to move it to Desktop but I am still getting the same issue when I run it as well

[summer stump]

Oof. Do not put your project in onedrive

Desktop is a bit better I guess

What did you try to move though. The project or the file?

[acoustic sun]

We have not yet. I got the script out of the recycling bin, but when I opened it, it was another copy+paste script I mistaken for another script that was apart of my project

[faint sluice]

[summer stump]

Oh, you're trying to open a dll? Interesting.

[acoustic sun]

I tried to move the file. I made it unlinked to OneDrive. My professor helped me on the process and it worked, but then its not letting me run the game again with the issue

[faint sluice]

As a beginner I wouldn't touch DLL files

[summer stump]

"The issue"?

[acoustic sun]

I have not touched the DLL files at all

[summer stump]

it cannot open my OneDrive\Library\Bee\artifacts\2000b0aE.dag\Assembly-CSharp.dll'.

^ this is .dll

[teal viper]

Get to the point. What is the actual issue?

If there's an error, share the whole error here. Or maybe even take a screenshot of it.

[acoustic sun]

That for some reason I am getting an error message when I try to run the game. Its saying that it cannot open OneDrive\Library\Bee\artifacts\2000b0aE.dag\Assembly-CSharp.dll

[teal viper]

Take a screenshot of the error.

Also what do you refer to by "run the game"? Clicking the play button in unity or building and running it?

[acoustic sun]

As in clicking the play button

[teal viper]

1. The project is still in the one drive directory. Move it to a root of your disk or something.

2. Do one first.

[acoustic sun]

How do I make it move when its already leaked to the project?

[teal viper]

Move the project.

[teal viper]

Go to the project path. Copy the project folder, paste it in C:\ . Add it in the hub again.

[charred spoke]

Some basic computer literacy is required to make games

If you can not move a folder I suggest learning that first

[teal viper]

They probably thought that if a project is added to the hub, it can't be moved.

[sly wasp]

How would I make a part of a mesh that I assigned a vertex group to in blender move the uv of that vertex group based on the position of a bone

[charred spoke]

Vertex groups dont exists in unity

[bright zodiac]

move it there (in blender). as in shape-keyd those verts, and in unity you can use blendshape to interpolate/change the value

[sly wasp]

Would vertex colors be a better option to use?

[sly wasp]

You can’t move UVs in shape keys

[charred spoke]

Pretty much the only option to id a group of verts

[sly wasp]

Verts?

[charred spoke]

Vertices

I try to convert inputfield text to int but it always come error line 43.
I already set input field to contains only integer number.

Any idea how to solve this issue?

[hollow palm]

I used int.Parse but it will comes error that says: FormatException: Input string was not in a correct format.
So i tried int.TryParse and this is happened. Seems like i cant convert string to int

[rich adder]

use the TMP input field

iirc the built in InputField gives a weird char in there

[hollow palm]

how u know that im using legacy?

[rich adder]

are you ?

[hollow palm]

yea

[sage folio]

(https://hatebin.com/vqbohqlpey) hey i have been trying to implement a easily maluable double jump toggle for my movement script for my 2D platforming character, but no matter what method i try i believe i am confused and blocked in the way by a previous feature (jump buffering), what would be the best way to impliment double jump? and could i possibly move the jump buffering to a seperate function that could be used when needed more practically?

[hollow palm]

legacy input field

[rich adder]

yup

I think you can verify and print string from .text before the parsing

[hollow palm]

oh i see

wait, is .text variable already string?

[rich adder]

yea

[verbal dome]

Theres this thing too #💻┃code-beginner message

[hollow palm]

is it redundant to convert string to string again?

[rich adder]

wdym

do you need a field that only wants numbers?

[hollow palm]

ya

[rich adder]

Tmp Inputfield has that built in

[hollow palm]

ok ill try that

[hollow palm]

i mean .text is already string so why we still convert that .text which already string to string agaain. Thats wht i mean

[rich adder]

convert where, I don't see any conversion

[hollow palm]

sorry im completly losing my mind

yea it work using TMP. Thanks for the help. Have a nice day

[nocturne parcel]

What is the 2d version of Vector3.ProjectOnPlane? There is no project on line

Or can I just use the Vector3 and ignore the z axis?

Wait, vector - dot, right?

[verbal dome]

Yes

[verbal dome]

Depends what you really need

[nocturne parcel]

I'll try both, see if there is any difference

[teal viper]

Yeah, in 2d it would just result in a point. You can do it with a Vector3 too btw.

Your plane would just be orthogonal to the camera plane

[stone elk]

Dose anyone know a good 3d tutorial on how to pick up items and put them into my Inventory?

[trim gulch]

Hi! Is there any way to assing different instances of the same prefab to different events? In my game I have a door prefab, with an open function. Let's say I have a "FirstBattleOver" event, and a "SecondBattleOver", and I have two doors that are them same prefab for the room for each battle. Is there any way for me to assign them their events withouth having to create another script?

[teal viper]

Sure.

[trim gulch]

How could I do that?

[teal viper]

Well, maybe provide some more details, because it's not entirely clear what you're doing. Are the prefab instances spawned at runtime? Where do you assign the events?

No

The prefabs are part of the map

So what I do is

I have a door script

Where, in code, I suscribe the "openDoor()" and "closeDoor()" functions to its corresponding event

[topaz thistle]

I'm trying to make my character move horizontally and vertically using rigidbody.velocity :https://hastebin.com/share/misoxusomi.csharp
Could anyone provide some advice? I understand the local and global aspect in transform.translate, but not with Rigidbodies

[trim gulch]

Like "GameManager.FirstBattleOver += openDoor"

But if I do that, when I want to create a door that is exactly the same but opens for the second battle, I'd have to create another whole script

So I'm trying to find a way to assign them in the inspector

So I can use the same script for all doors

[teal viper]

You can pass in an int parameter identifying the door.

[small gull]

yo can someone help me

[burnt vapor]

Not without properly sharing what you want help with

At least share the error if that's what you are hinting at

[small gull]

i did

[small gull]

/\

theres a } there idk how to fix it

mb if im confused or smthing

[topaz thistle]

Hey everyone, I didn't get a response, so i'm just asking the question again, how would I move my character around according to it's rotation with rigidbody.velocity. https://hastebin.com/share/misoxusomi.csharp

[teal viper]

What does the error say..? Hover over the underline

[ocean dove]

You can do RB.velocity = transform.forward*Input.GetAxis("Vertical")*speed + [same stuff but right * horizontal]

[burnt vapor]

No, the image doesn't explain anything

Hence the request to just share the error instead of making it guesswork

Until then we can't help

It's important you also learn to debug the issue yourself even though it's fairly obvious what is wrong

[ocean dove]

I guess they removed the } from the monobehaviour at the end of the script

[small gull]

dawg this is my first time doing allat

im watching a tut

[burnt vapor]

So what is so hard about sharing a screenshot of the error?

[teal viper]

Use transform.TransformDirection to transform the movement vector to world space.

[burnt vapor]

Hover over the red line and screenshot the message, or screenshot the Unity console when you compile

[small gull]

ok

one sec

[burnt vapor]

If you hover over the error it will also very clearly explain what the issue is, so you could even find out what goes wrong yourself

[solid sail]

If I pass "HelloWorld" to invoke 1st method then does 2nd method. Will the output be same? Seem like not same.Where I did wrong?

The question is the same as well as converting Int and string with each other.How to do it?

[teal viper]

You would use the appropriate methods in string and int. Not mess with the string encoding.

[burnt vapor]

You're better off asking the !cs Discord for this or maybe #archived-networking considering handling bytes is mostly a networking thing

[eternal falcon]

Join the C# Discord server, a programming server aimed at coders discussing everything related to C# (CSharp) and .NET. https://discord.com/invite/csharp

[burnt vapor]

I never used endianness but it looks okay so idk

[solid sail]

Which method is appropriate?

[burnt vapor]

@small gull Any luck with the error?

[small gull]

yes

thanks lol

[languid spire]

your ToInt32 method will only read the first 4 bytes of the array. Please read the documentation

[burnt vapor]

Consider using Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes for writing bytes, maybe.

I made a Packet class and just resorted to using Encoding.ASCII for writing and reading instead of whatever BitConverter is

[languid spire]

i'm not sure how you expect "Hello World" to be stored as a single int value

[burnt vapor]

Also, maybe you should add some sort of indication when the string ends, assuming your byte buffer will contain more than just the string. For example, end with '\0' indicating null termination, and check for that when reading. Alternatively write a byte before the string indicating the length.

This is most of the code I wrote for this https://gdl.space/fajufogacu.cs

[solid sail]

Ohhh. I c. I tried "HELO" . The first function's returning int value is same as the value in C++

[burnt vapor]

You can obviously ignore this if this does not apply

[languid spire]

Really, if this is for Web Encoding you shoud use UTF8 not ASCII

[solid sail]

But if I invoke the 2nd method with int sent by C++. I get the wrong string

[burnt vapor]

Good one, never thought of that. I should probably take a look at it

[solid sail]

I got it

[jaunty girder]

Hi

[ivory bobcat]

Is this Unity related?

[burnt vapor]

I will use these suggestions in my next Unity networking project

[teal viper]

Int32.Parse and int to string converts implicitly or use myInt.ToString()

[jaunty girder]

I start use wits unity

Bad english

[rare basin]

ok

[languid spire]

Your method signatures are incorrect also, can you post the code correctly

[languid spire]

this works because HELO is exactly 4 bytes in ASCII which will fit in an Int32

[solid sail]

I just write it by my self. Cz I didnt find any alternative. Actually I was moving the C++ client side code to C#. I found C++ define like this (pic) . I need to have one in C#. Also it still have to be used in switch case. But the value after "case" must const. I'm consfused how to define it in C#?

[solid sail]

Yup

[teal viper]

Oh, it wasn't about parsing, ok...

[languid spire]

So what you have is fine as long as you use ASCII and never use a string longer than 4 characters

[solid sail]

Yup.But thanks to u I got to know something important... Otherwise if I use 5 more characters it will raise an error and makes me big headache

[languid spire]

just wont work because when to convert to int the last character (if you use a 5 character string) will be ignored

Also you should really use UInt32 rather than Int32

[solid sail]

My supiror was nearby. I have to hide....

So there's no alternative to make it?

[languid spire]

Standard C# would be something like

                byte[] bytes = new byte[] {(byte)'H', (byte)'E', (byte)'L', (byte)'O' };
                UInt32 asInt = Convert.ToUInt32(bytes);

                char[] chars = new char[] { 'H', 'E', 'L', 'O' };
                UInt64 asInt64 = Convert.ToUInt64(chars);

[swift elbow]

    {
        if (other.CompareTag("Soul"))
        {
            AudioSource.PlayClipAtPoint(shriek, gameObject.transform.position, volume);

            Destroy(other.gameObject);

            UpdateCachedSoulsArray();
        }
    }

    void UpdateCachedSoulsArray()
    {
        souls = GameObject.FindGameObjectsWithTag("Soul");

        soulsInScene = souls.Length;

        if (soulsInScene == 0)
        {
            DisableRandomWall();

            Debug.Log("All Souls Have Been Collected");
        }
    }```

for the code above, the int "soulsinscene" never goes below its starting value because even though there are no assigned gameobjs with the tag "soul" in the scene, there is still at least 1 element in the array. this is because in the OnTriggerEnter func, the gameobj with the tag is destroyed but the element that had stored its value in the array is now null. how can i make it so that i set soulsinscene to however many elements in the array that are not null?

is there something better to use instead of souls.Length that im unaware of?

[solid sail]

That could solve the multiple characters. What if I want use them in switch case .. "asInt" "asInt64" cannot use in switch case tho. The value I read from C++ is int. I have to convert to string? Then what method would be propriate?

[pallid nymph]

Are you spawning objects with this tag at runtime?

[languid spire]

you can use the ints in a switch if you know and hard code what the values will be. To get the ints back to a string your GetCodeFromInt method should be OK

[swift elbow]

no they are already in the scene

[pallid nymph]

So I'd say find them all on Start and keep them in a List (or HashSet), then whenever you Destroy also remove them from said list and check that list's Count

[swift elbow]

thats what im doing already, i call UpdateCachedSoulsArray() in the start func as well

[pallid nymph]

but you find them by tag there

don't find them again, find them once and update the list manually on destroy

[swift elbow]

is that not what im doing right now?

[languid spire]

Yep, HashSet<int> and use GetInstanceID() should work well for this

[pallid nymph]

no, you're doing souls = GameObject.FindGameObjectsWithTag("Soul"); which finds them at the moment of updating

my general assumption is that because Destroy actually destroys things later in the frame, you still Find the thing that was just destroyed

you could try doing souls = GameObject.FindGameObjectsWithTag("Soul").Where(obj => obj != null).Count(); if you want to be lazy, buuut am not sure if it becomes null immediately or again later in the frame

[swift elbow]

i get an error where it cant convert type int to GameObject[]

[burnt vapor]

Because Count counts the result

[acoustic crow]

What i make wrong 😦

I want see Options and the Gears in the Game view but...

[swift elbow]

so how do i fix this?

[swift elbow]

layering issue

[burnt vapor]

The actual fix would be to stop using FindGameObjectsWithTag and just have a singleton manager with a buffer that holds all souls by reference

Then ask the manager for whatever you want

[pallid nymph]

you just need the count, right? rename the variable to soulsCount and make it an int and done 😄

but of course, as mentioned not doing Find again is preferable, Find sucks, tags also suck

[burnt vapor]

@swift elbow here is an explanation on singletons: https://unity.huh.how/references/singletons
It's a much better solution that using Find-type methods in most cases and generally also way easier to manage

[acoustic crow]

what i must do?

[swift elbow]

drag the gears in the hierarchy to the bottom of the parent

[burnt vapor]

UpdateCachedSoulsArray would be in the manager and rather than finding them all by tag you could have a List buffer that is filled with souls that spawned. The souls could register to the manager when they spawn, or you could have a special "spawn" method in the manager that spawns the souls for you

[sterile moon]

Currently having issues with this code segment I followed a tutorial on. I think they did something wrong as comments on the video also complain about this issue. Here is the code https://hastebin.com/share/vucekifuvo.csharp

My issues are, the when its dropped or thrown the object changes size, more and more every time. And my other issue is that I can't rotate the object once its picked up. It just moves the mouse, I know I need to disable mouse movement, but cant find a good way to do it

[opal portal]

Hello there, I've been testing a bit with RigidBody, is it a bad praxis to (just for walk) force the speed with rb.velocity = motion, instead of using rb.AddForce(motion)?

[teal viper]

I don't see anything that would change the object size. Maybe you're parenting it to scaled objects?

As for rotation, you'll need to debug it.

[teal viper]

It's fine if it works and serves it's purpose.

[opal portal]

is the easier way i found to limit velocity without extra calculations 😛 xD

[steep warren]

umm hey, I cant see text on my buttons can some1 help me with that?

[languid spire]

dont cross post

[nocturne parcel]

Btw, using ProjectOnPlane and vector - dot both works. I decided to use the latter just so I can pretend I'm a good programmer who can create solutions to my problems on my own. But if you ever feel the need to project something onto 2d: you may just use the Vector3.ProjectOnPlane. It works as ProjectOnLine the same.

[steep warren]

nvm I fixed it i shouldve imported the text mesh pro package thing it suggested me that a few times and i ignored it

[queen adder]

how can I fix this

It was working fine then I imported 7 assets

this happent

[scarlet skiff]

my collision is still not working

The players parry hitbox has this script: https://gdl.space/lerukiyeju.cs

Everything that has the Parryable should be added to a list, but it wont even detenct the collision.

The hitbox has trigger collider, and the projectile has rb and trigger collider, i use a ontriggerenter2d, why wont it work?

[languid spire]

screenshot the inspectors of both objects

[queen adder]

public Text CounterText;

private int Count = 0;

private void Start()
{
    Count = 0;
}

private void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other)
{
    Count += 1;
    CounterText.text = "Count : " + Count;
}

trying to increase the count in numbers if collided

when collided it wont increase counter and will give these errorrs

[pallid nymph]

CounterText is probably null

colliding with "box"

it increasese counter

box has the script

so I copy pasted one of the cubes here

and added script to it

thought it'd work

[queen adder]

it works with box

doesnt work with the cube I copied from the box parent

[fierce shuttle]

Because "Box" has a text object assigned in the inspector for "Counter Text", and "Cube 5" does not

[hexed terrace]

counter text is null like @pallid nymph said

[scarlet skiff]

and the to be parried object:

[hexed terrace]

this doesn't have a rigidbody, so it won't receive physics events (ie: Your OnTrigger methods in PlayerParry.cs wont get called)

[pallid nymph]

(only one of the objects need a RB for events to work, just FYI... although a moving object must have a RB, so yeah, you probably do need to add one)

[hexed terrace]

A moving object that requires physics events must have an RB

[pallid nymph]

A moving object that has a collider should also have a RB

[hexed terrace]

nope

[pallid nymph]

yes

[hexed terrace]

A moving platform doesn't need an RB

[queen adder]

fixed it but unity crashed dk why

[pallid nymph]

it doesn't strictly need one, but it really should have one for performance and stability reasons, it's in the docs

[scarlet skiff]

i cant even add a rigidbody to the hitbox cuz the parent already has one.. or something

[pallid nymph]

otherwise it's considered static (and it really is not, because you know, moving)

[hexed terrace]

link pls

[languid spire]

this has a 3D collider not a 2D one

[hexed terrace]

it will only be considered static if you mark it as static.. surely

[pallid nymph]

@hexed terrace ah, apparently the performance cost of static colliders is gone and that's old information, so my bad... used to be here: https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/CollidersOverview.html and you can read in Collider types that static is collider without RB

[hexed terrace]

It also doesn't make sense when you remember the included CharacterController doesn't want a rigidbody component

Static Collider
This is a GameObject that has a Collider but no Rigidbody. Static colliders are used for level geometry which always stays at the same place and never moves around. Incoming rigidbody objects will collide with the static collider but will not move it.

The physics engine assumes that static colliders never move or change and can make useful optimizations based on this assumption. Consequently, static colliders should not be disabled/enabled, moved or scaled during gameplay. If you do change a static collider then this will result in extra internal recomputation by the physics engine which causes a major drop in performance. Worse still, the changes can sometimes leave the collider in an undefined state that produces erroneous physics calculations.

From 5.6 .. all the way up to 2019.1

[pallid nymph]

👍

That is an interesting point about the Character controller - haven't thought about it 🤔 But yeah, as you can see, it was a thing some years ago 🤷‍♂️ I haven't really done much physics lately :/

[hexed terrace]

I sort of vaguely remember that now I've read it, but like you, haven't done much physics in a while.. certainly none that would touch this.

[frigid flume]

hello, i have those buttons and i want to turn them red and to add 1 to a variable on click. In order to make the color stay the same between sessions, do i have to create one playerpref for each of these buttons ?

because there will be a lot of buttons, they all do the same but it's important for each button to stay the same color, they each mean something different (meaning validated or not) between sessions

[pallid nymph]

mm... if they have some sort of ID / unique name, I guess you can easily store them in PlayerPrefs... I'd probably prefer to save them in a file, because PlayerPrefs kinda suck, but it would work quite similarly

[hexed terrace]

If it's info that doesn't matter that a user could change easily, be better to use a json, so you can just use an array of some sort

[frigid flume]

it is sort of tasks, when completed you click the button that changes color

[queen adder]

hello. So I have an object with 500 thousand speed and it rotates around another object. when it collides with an object thats in its path counter is supposed to increase. I tried with 100 speed it works fine. but with 500 thousand speed collision doesnt happen sometimes and happens inconsistenly how can I fix this

[hexed terrace]

it's going too fast, try changing to ....err... is it 'continuous' on the RB

[queen adder]

which one

fast one or still one

[hexed terrace]

fast

[hexed terrace]

because it's the movement of that that does the detection

[queen adder]

changed it to continous

still same

its supposed to increase like 500 in one second

in one second it rotates around it 500 times

but counter only increases by 2 or 3

[pallid nymph]

how does it rotate around?

[queen adder]

with transform.rotatearound

[pallid nymph]

right...

[queen adder]

yea

[pallid nymph]

so... whenever you deal with physics - you need to use the Rigidbody to move/rotate the object, not the transform

[queen adder]

I know its bad but i chose it because was easy

[pallid nymph]

yeah, and as you can see - it doesn't work

[hexed terrace]

but doesn't work with physics!

[queen adder]

ok I actually forgot how to do it with vectors let me research and come back here real quick

[pallid nymph]

now to the second part... even if you do it with a RB, it still wouldn't work for 500 collisions per second, if I get it correctly

[queen adder]

why wouldnt it

am trying to simulate the speed of light

[pallid nymph]

I highly doubt the physics engine would simulate 10 enter/exit per tick, because your object rotated 10 times over some other object

you'll need something custom to simulate such things

[gusty hazel]

Hello is there any way to find where i have set a player pref

Because i added a player pref to track what level the player is on and i dont remember where in the code i put it

As in which script

[charred spoke]

Use your ide search function ctrl+f

[queen adder]

is it hard

is there something custom made already I could use

[pallid nymph]

if you're good at programming and physics... yes 😄 otherwise it's impossible

[pallid nymph]

no idea, never needed something like this... google may know more about simulating such things... also you need to understand why are you simulating it - what's the goal? perhaps it doesn't need to be too precise and you can go with some fake but much simpler approach 🤷‍♂️

[queen adder]

I guess yeah

there probably is a simpler approach

how can I learn the maximum limit

for detecting collision

like whats the collision limit per frame

yo u know nevermind. I fixed it by slowing down the timer

there was a timer like 0 1 2 3 and number of times collision hapens like 500 for example i set timer precisely to increase by 1 only when 500 is there

its nothing like realtime but I cant deal with writing my custom thing

[scarlet skiff]

omg how did i not notice... thank you man

[languid spire]

Don't feel bad, apparently no one else did either

[viscid needle]

Hey guys, So I was just following the official unity Create with code tutorial series in which they moved the backround to the left by resetting it's position after it reached it's half point(the backgrounds). they do this with the help of a box collider and then using the box collider to divide the x size by half and then resetting it's position. but the background just goes down and stutters. The player jumps force also seems to decrease. Pls help

here is the code

[languid spire]

line 13 is the obvious give away

[viscid needle]

what is wrong in it?

[languid spire]

read it

[viscid needle]

it seems fine to me.

[languid spire]

sorry I meant 19 not 13

[viscid needle]

yeah still seems fine

[languid spire]

wrong, read it again, carefully

[viscid needle]

no still not seeing anything wrong

[languid spire]

since when do you terminate an if statement with a semi-colon?

[viscid needle]

ohh right thanks. You are a life saver

[languid spire]

when someone says 'carefully' it means character by character

[somber ravine]

Help pls , when I play the obstacle disappears

But the physics is applied though

Also tried changing the layers

[wintry quarry]

What does this have to do with code?

[pallid nymph]

in all fairness that one was pretty hidden 😄 good catch 👍

[somber ravine]

This part has nothing to do with the code

There are other aspects which have been coded

[languid spire]

really?

[pallid nymph]

well, I didn't see it too, and I do read a lot of code... it's not that one doesn't see it, it's that brain auto-ignores it 🤷‍♂️

[viscid needle]

Hey sorry, but the background still goes down from 9.5 to 0

[languid spire]

yep, and the art of the good programmer is to see what is actually there not what you want to be there
