Hello, guys! I have a small issue. I want to pause/freeze my timer counting whenever my game goes over, so whenever my player enters the collider of the other object and triggering game over, as well as to trigger that game over and stop the timer whenever my player getting out of bounds. I have tried like to use Game States with Enum and make it happen but for one reason it doesn't fix. If you want I can provide more information and make a thread for that.

#

I have started thinking if I have my UpdateTimer() somewhere else but as I have checked everything is fine at the right place.

languid spire
#

set it to transform.position.y in start. as you are only manipulatiing the .x then you probably want that for .z as well

#

think about it, startpos starts as 0,0,0 what should it be?

viscid needle
#

0, 9.5f, 0

languid spire
#

so set it to that

viscid needle
#

I did they work in the first loop but in the second it goes back to the same 0. Why?

languid spire
#

look what line 12 does

viscid needle
#

Thnks, just had figured that out. Love you

Hey there, I am facing FileIOPermission present both System.Security.Permissions and mscorlib problem, anyone knows the solution?

languid spire

#

@languid spire I was using Gamelift SDK , now i am trying to import Vivox and getting this issue

somber ravine
#

This is my code for player game object , it is a kind of geometry dash game , creating obstacle sprites in the game now , how do i stop the player if it collides with obstacles ?? i tried writing it in the last function of this code

languid spire

#

AWS gamelift SDK uses System.Security.Permissions assembly as dependency and Vivox uses mscorlib assembly as dependency and both of them has defination for FileIOPermission

#

Thus I am getting issue

A meta data file (.meta) exists but its folder 'Packages/com.unity.adaptiveperformance/AdaptivePerformanceProject' can't be found, and has been created. Empty directories cannot be stored in version control, so it's assumed that the meta data file is for an empty directory in version control. When moving or deleting folders outside of Unity, please ensure that the corresponding .meta file is moved or deleted along with it.

how can i fix this?

I'm in Unity2D and I have a piece of code that's supposed to trigger a scene change upon a specific item being picked up so the scene will play a cutscene and kick the player back to menu. I have an mp4 of the cutscene but I don't know what to do from there

Does anyone know if this would enable mipmap generation:

Texture = new Texture2D(
                (int)_lottieRenderData.width,
                (int)_lottieRenderData.height,
                TextureFormat.BGRA32,
                mipCount: 0,
                linear: false);

Its 0 but the default is -1 in the unity core

# 
public Texture2D(int width, int height, [DefaultValue("TextureFormat.RGBA32")] TextureFormat textureFormat, [DefaultValue("-1")] int mipCount, [DefaultValue("false")] bool linear)
    : this(width, height, textureFormat, mipCount, linear, IntPtr.Zero)

I want it disabled

Is there a good tutorial for a simple idle, run, and jump animation, it would always turn out weird for me cuz the only tutorial I could find was a lil’ bit outdated

ancient holly
#

is there a function that floors to an int but if its too near by a threshold it doesn't?

#

something like

#

if value is 3.995 and it has a threshold of 0.01

#

it will be 4 instead of 3

#

does that exist?

#

guess you could call that weighted rounding

keen dew
#

floor(x + 0.01)

cosmic quail
#

it might fix it

#

if it doesnt then your if statement isnt false

#

Something went wrong internally with the editor

#

Restarting usually fixes that kind of thing.

#

I sometimes see that when undoing and redoing things that modify a list in the inspector

#

e.g. "serialized object disappeared!"

lost anvil
#

if i change this script to an interface would that make it so i can reference and use it from other scripts?

https://gdl.space/duxisolubo.cs

so like if i had a rock that i could throw, i could pick it up and throw it but not in the same script

timber tide
#

Interfaces are usually for specifying an implementation, and such that you could reduce what needs to be passed in a reference.

#

You've may seen examples of like an IInteract interface that people like to implement, and it's pretty helpful by exposing the character's interact method without having to pass the whole character reference.

lost anvil
#

so would using an interface be a good choice for my case?

timber tide
#

And when it comes to polymorphism, it doesn't always have to be a character, as you can implement an IInteract on a box if it implements that specific interface.

#

It depends on your requirements, but for that specific script I can't think of many reasons why someone would have a IPickup implementation.

#

Some examples of character interfaces is having a root interface of IEntity that branches into IPlayer and IEnemy

lost anvil
#

well, what i want is to have different functions for different items that only can be used on Pickup()

timber tide
#

in that case the implementation of that behavior would be on the item itself

lost anvil
#

how would i get it to only work on pickup() though?

hexed terrace
#

IPickup

public class SomeThing : Monobehaviour, IPickup
{
    public void Pickup() {} // this method is forced because of the interface
}```

Then you can do `GetComponent<IPickup>();`
timber tide
#

thing is, you probably only going to have a single type that you pick up and that being a type of Item.

#

so interfaces wouldn't make too much sense here either

lost anvil
#

what about abstract classes actually

timber tide
#

But going back to what I said previously that you can implement interfaces to lessen the amount fields, properties, or methods that the reference of the item exposes, so sure you can add one.

lost anvil
timber tide
# lost anvil what about abstract classes actually

I usually just stick to abstract classes, but I do have interfaces like an IInteractable because there are many types that you can interact with unlike picking up a single type. (Depending on your implementation, but usually everything I pickup derives from a type of Item)

lost anvil
#

so would making the script an abstract class be a better fit?

timber tide
#

If you want items to behave differently on pickup, you would have a OnPickup() method that you'd implement as an abstract method.

#

on the items themselves

lost anvil
#

so i would need an OnPickup() method on EVERY item i want to pickup?

timber tide
#

You don't have to implement the functionality, but if you add an abstract method it needs to be eventually there in the derived class.

lost anvil
#

alright gotcha thanks

in a card game is it better to use cards as scriptable objects or objects of a class "Card"

summer stump
ionic zephyr
#

by default data you mean stats and that stuff?

summer stump
ionic zephyr
#

oh ok

#

and what do you mean with mutable data and instances

summer stump
#

Do you know what an instance is at all? Not sure how much I have to explain for that part

ionic zephyr
ionic zephyr
summer stump
summer stump

#

like a SO "Card" and a Class "Card"

halcyon geyser
#

Id give it different names

ionic zephyr
#

Okay, I guess it is less confusing that way

halcyon geyser
#

You could have ur "Card" class, but Id name ur SO script SO_Card

ionic zephyr
#

for values that do not change at all

#

and the Class for alterable values

#

And the deck should be a List of GameObjects or a List of objects of the class "Card"?

halcyon geyser
#

List of SO's

summer stump
#

I would do CardData. Try not to have types in the name. It's recognized as a code smell

#

Whatever suits you 😅

But I don´t really know how to use both

Hey, guys! I have an issue with a functionality of my game and I stuck like 3 days already can't find the solution. So, I have an UpdateTimer() method where I am updating the timer, whenever the game is not over. What I want to accomplish is whenever the game goes over to freeze that timer. I have tried to use boolean to make it happen but nothing happened. I have checked every possible way to fix it, like I have watched so many tutorials etc. I am really thinking if I just lost something or put something in my code and now I can't notice that. Please can someone help me with that in thread? Is someone available like for 20-30 minutes and help me find the solution.

ionic zephyr

summer stump

referencing each other?

summer stump

You CAN do it that way I guess, but that gets muddier imo

frigid flume
ionic zephyr
summer stump
#

I would just have the exact same variables in both the class and so, and just copy from the so to the class when you create a card in during runtime

summer stump

#

i all the tutorials that i've followed i can't remeber any use of reference

#

but only alter them in the Class

Right at the top

The class has NO data in it to start with. You create it, get the SO you want the card to be, and copy the data into the class. Then from then on you only use the class

i chaneg scenes

#

if its not loaded in.. u got two choices.. u can cache the variable like i mentioned and change it once its loaded in.. or load it in to change it

#

id do the first.. b/c if u load it in.. ur gonna have to modify it so its not visible.. or functioning on top of ur menu

fading rapids
#

ty for ur help, just thought of a diff idea for this

if i had to guess it would be a setup issue..

but id step thru the code.. one part at a time.. and make sure its functioning as u go

#

u got alot going on in there

#

oh wait.. idk much about it but i see where u create the render texture but ur not saving it or applying it to any material or anything..

#

you create the texture.. modify the camera to look at it.. but then u just destroy the camera

#

and return the texture that u created.. but never done anything else to..

Hi all, I'm having a bit of a brain fart and can't for the life of me remember what I'm doing.

I want to cast a screenpointray at a certain distance (200m for example) and then have an object point at the 'end point' of the ray. But my mind is drawing a complete blank on how to do it (I can remember how to make the ray 'hit' an object, but not how to do it without hitting an object (if that makes any kind of sense. lol.)

rich adder
rocky canyon
#

is the Vector3 / (2) position of where the ray hit..

rare quarry
rocky canyon
#

then ud just look at that

ruby python
rocky canyon
#

so u want it to ignore all the hits up until the 200m mark?

ruby python
#

I want it to ignore everything, period, but limit the ray length to 200m (this I know how to do, it's the ignoring everything part)

rocky canyon
#

if its ignoring everything until the 200m mark why even use a raycast?

#

just use ur starting position and add 200m to it

#

in the direction..

buoyant knot
#

raycasthit2D has a .distance field for how far it went

rocky canyon
#

he only wants the 200m hit

#

i think

buoyant knot
#

he only wants UP TO 200 m

rocky canyon
#

without hitting an object

#

then whats that mean ^

buoyant knot
rocky canyon
#

then why the raycast anyway? 😅

#

im confused tbh

buoyant knot
#

i think 200m is his max search range

ruby python
#

I want the mouse position on screen to control the target point of a weapon (so that the weapon always points at the mouse pointer on screen), but I don't want any objects to 'interfere' with the distance (I know I'm not being very clear, sorry)

buoyant knot
#

raycasts hit colliders

#

the point of a raycast is to ask about where colliders are

#

if no colliders are involved, no raycasts should be used

use a layermask.. and make an invisible plane or collider that ur ray can hit..

#

then it wouldnt be hitting walls obstacles etc

#

the UI system has a strange convention with using “raycasting” to hit UI objects, but i don’t think that is what you are looking for here

#

looking at your code will not explain what you want

#

you need to articulate it with words

ruby python
# 
//Player Facing Mouse
Plane playerPlane = new Plane(Vector3.up, transform.position);
Ray ray = Camera.main.ScreenPointToRay(Input.mousePosition);
float hitDist = 0.0f;

if (playerPlane.Raycast(ray, out hitDist))
{
    Vector3 targetPoint = ray.GetPoint(hitDist);
    targetPointActual = new Vector3(targetPoint.x, 3.12f, targetPoint.z);
    Quaternion targetRotation = Quaternion.LookRotation(targetPoint - transform.position);
    targetRotation.z = 0;
    transform.rotation = Quaternion.Slerp(transform.rotation, targetRotation, mouseSensitivity * Time.deltaTime);

}

I've used this snippet before for top down, but brain is cabbaged and couldn't figure out how to translate it to 3rd person. lol.

buoyant knot
#

oh now that i see the code, that changes absolutely nothing

rocky canyon
#

my guess is hes talkin about something like this.. where that crosshair wouldnt be On top of the wall

#

but more on the ground.. where the mouse is

#

in which case id just use hte ground as the layermask

buoyant knot
#

he wants a weapon to point at your cursor

#

but then something about objects interfering, which doesn’t make sense

#

if you can represent the position of your cursor in world space, you can rotate an object to point at it

#

not sure where other objects are involved here

ruby python
#

Here's a screengrab of my scene. As you can see there are a crapload of different types of objects (trees/signs etc. etc. etc.) so I want the weapon to point at the mouse pointer at a distance of 200m at all times, without all of those objects interfering.

buoyant knot
#
  1. why do any objects interfere
  2. mouse pointer exists in screen space. player is in world space. they cannot be 200m appart because they exist in different space
#

it the cursor is at (100,400), that means 100 pixels right, 400 pixels up

cosmic knot
#

Hi hi I'm new here and I have a question to ask if anybody could help me.

rare basin
#

dont ask to ask

ruby python
#

Which is why I want to use ScreenpointtoRay. So that I can get a point in 3d space to point at. With all the objects in the way it could lead to 'jerky' movement etc. if the mouse goes over something really close suddenly.

rocky canyon
#

they could exist 200 meters apart.. when u use the mouse position to raycast into the world space.. u get that hit position.. and then it could be 1m from the player or 200m from the player

#

w/ a layermask my ray wont end up on top of object or w/e id just cast str8 to the ground

rocky canyon
#

Y axis would always remain the same..

#

no jerky movement

ruby python
#

So I could add an invisible plane 200m in front of the player (parented to the player so it sticks in front?) (sorry, just trying to be clear while I get it straight in my head. lol.)

Basically I'm trying to make a indoor navigation app for android using vuforia and navmesh. The problem I'm facing is that the documentation is quite old of Vuforias site. For example they say that I should import prefab model to my gameobject area target as a child and then go to window -> AI -> navigation and then press bake. Now that option is no longer there

ruby python
rocky canyon
# 
       if(Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0))
        {
            Plane plane = new Plane(Vector3.up,Vector3.zero);

            Ray ray = Camera.main.ScreenPointToRay(Input.mousePosition);

            float entry;

            if(plane.Raycast(ray,out entry))
            {
                dragStartPosition = ray.GetPoint(entry);
            }
        }```
short hazel
rocky canyon
#

theres also this version of raycast.. that u can just create a plane in ur code

ruby python
#

Thank you guys, seriously 🙂

short hazel
#

Then once you hit it, you have the point, and can rotate the player towards (hit.point - player.position)

ruby python

Yeah, I knew I had all the code (more or less), was just translating it to be 'forward' instead of up which was boxing my noggin. lol.

that's how the old system would have worked, too

#

you can set the NavMeshSurface to only care about physics colliders

you can also add NavMeshModifier components to make some objects produce non-walkable areas

this would be appropriate for a desk, for example

that Plane constructor looks very wrong to me

short hazel
#

You're passing weird stuff to that plane

swift crag
#

it takes a normal vector and a position

#

the plane cuts through the camera

#

you probably meant to do new Plane(-Camera.main.transform.forward, Camera.main.transform.position + Camera.main.transform.forward * 200f);

#

this plane's normal vector faces towards the camera, and it passes through a point 200 meters in front of the camera

To put the precise example. The player can select between different attack formations of 4 determined positions

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

get smaller monitor

or apply black marker to the left and right sides of your existing monitor

rocky canyon
#

if your game has a resolution of 1024x768, you can realize that 768 is 3/4 of 1024. So, if you change the width dimension to .75, 1024 will become 768 and the view will be square. However, the view will now be off center. To fix this, change the x value to 0.125

someone help i think i messed up my project, i was makign siome changed to my character and...??? everything got displaced? i panicked a bit and then ctrl + z a little too much and now i think i ended up removing waaayyy to much but the character is still messed up??? all of its sprites r like in one position...

now i cntrl + y everythign back cuz i remebered that i made a change to the player perfab itself but like how do i reverse that? and it looks fine i nthe prefab editor but not in the scene... help this stresses me out

tender stag
#

maybe send screenshots

scarlet skiff
#

i think its because i moved everything udner a new parent called body

#

well not eveyrthing but yea

#

cuz some parts werent part of the prefab

#

maybe i should have updated the prefab and added thsoe parts

rocky canyon
#

if the prefab is fine but the version in teh scene isn't you can just delete it pull the prefab back in

#

Revert changes also works

scarlet skiff
rocky canyon
#

ud have to fill in the references

scarlet skiff
rocky canyon
#

yea, at the top of the prefab (when u click the scene) at the top if theres overrides u can revert them back to w/e the prefab has set up

#

but i think thats when u change stuff of the prefab (in the scene)

#

not in the prefab window

#

like here.. on this prefab ive changed all those things (in the scene)

#

if i hit revert.. it'll all go back to whats the prefab view has

#

if i hit apply.. it'll change the prefab to w/e the scene version has

ionic zephyr
#

In an RPG game, my team of characters should be a List?

scarlet skiff
rocky canyon
#

its at the top of the inspector.. when u click the prefab in the scene view..

#

if its not there.. ur prefab stuff has already been saved.. and it is wat it is

scarlet skiff
#

but i dont htink ishould override cuz i got something i didnt save i nthe prefab

#

is there just no way to revert the prefab change itself

#

without override

rocky canyon
#

there two different things... override is when u force the prefab to take on the changes of the version you have in the scene..

#

the revert is the opposite.. it forces the prefab in the scene to take the settings u have of the prefab version

tender stag
#

how can i improve on this```float targetMagnitude = moveSpeed;
float forceMagnitude = targetMagnitude - rb.velocity.magnitude;

Vector3 force = slopeMoveDirection.normalized * forceMagnitude;

rb.AddForce(force * acceleration);```

#

the movement works

#

but it feels slippery

rocky canyon
#

add a physics material.. with higher friction..

tender stag
#

i already have that

rocky canyon
#

then adjust the forces that you'll need to overcome the new friction

#

well make it higher

tender stag
#

its already at 0.9

scarlet skiff
#

here is the thing:
In scene there are important things not part of the prefab attached to it. But everything under the players body took a new position due to a perfab change.

in the prefab the character looks right at least, but doesnt have some of the important stuff attached

#

am i.... cooked?

rocky canyon
#

if its that bad off and u cant just apply or cancel the settings ur gonna have to manually fix it

rocky canyon
#

when theres no input it'll dampen the velocity and slow it down a bit faster

scarlet skiff
rocky canyon
#

no clue.. u can unpack the prefab in ur scene..

image.png
#

that way u can have both versions of it.

#

in order to fix it

#

it'll make it a regular object

scarlet skiff
#

lol what i just unparented everythign under the body and dleted it in the prefab and... everythign went back to normal? i think

rocky canyon
#

lmao idk man.. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

scarlet skiff
#

😭

#

god is good 🙏

rocky canyon
#

gotta pay more attention man

scarlet skiff
#

fair enough..

i suppose i should update the prefab now

to add the new stuff

so in case i need to override i nthe future

also.. am i tripping or do i just not have a override

Hello ! here is my script that works well, when i click the bfa1 buttons its color changes to green. But i want two more things :
I want the default color of the button be red if a bool is false, and green if a bool is true,
and I want to switch these colors on click (make button red if it was green, and make it green if it was red). For the moment, on click (CaseFA1) the color is changed to green.
How should i do ?
I tought i could check the value of bool on start, and check it on click too. But i'm not sur how great it would work to copy/paste the last block of Code. Maybe should i create a changetored function and a changetogreen fonction ? does it works if not affiliated to any object ?```using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using JetBrains.Annotations;

using UnityEngine.UI;

public class SaveData : MonoBehaviour
{
public AchievementsInventory inventory = new AchievementsInventory();

public Color green;
public Button bfa1;

}

{
    inventory.fa1 = !inventory.fa1; //switch the bool 
    SaveToJson();
    ColorBlock ccbfa1 = bfa1.colors;
    ccbfa1.normalColor = green;
    ccbfa1.highlightedColor = green;  //changes color to green

so i'd have to make a function for each button ?

i'll try that but i'm not very familiar with it ^^

Okay so i have this problem, and.. i dont know how to really describe it but ill try:

I am trying to make my player be able to parry some projectiles, the approach that i have is that there would be an invisible hitbox that makes a list and adds all the parryable projectiles in it (on trigger enter 2d) and removes them if they are no longer in range. The reason i have made it this way rather than a gameObject that gets enabled/disabled when the player parries is because i only want the player to able to parry (play the animation and such) if there is a parryable object in range. The player sort of "kicks" the projectile away rather than some approach games have where you just shield and whatever touches it well gets blocked or whatever, or you can hit with ur sword and if nothing is there then well nothing happens.

The problem with this is... since the hitbox is under the player parent, when it comes in contact with this hitbox it counts it as hitting the player as well, and i dont want that to happen.

I could spend a whole lot of time splitting the player into two parents.. and making a paarent for those two, then redistributing the scripts correctly.. and all that jazz.

I have also though of going to the script that handles the players collisions and change it make all methods ignore collision if it also collides with the parry hitbox... but...

  1. idk which solution to choose
    and
  2. maybe there is a 3rd better solution?

Vector3 force = slopeMoveDirection.normalized * forceMagnitude;

//If input keys are pressed
if(isWalking)
{
rb.AddForce(force * acceleration);

//If the player is moving
if(rb.velocity.magnitude > 0)

//Add force to stop player

how can i only clamp velocity of a rigidbody excluding the y?

Get a copy of the vector with zero y, then clamp it

then copy the old y over and set velocity to that

is this fine?

also should that be in fixed update?

This would reset the y velocity to 0. If that's what you want, sure.

Okay, so, I guess the bottom left theory is out. I have no idea how your keyboard works, but you probably should. Find whatever key combination types the bottom left symbol on your keys

Do you have an "Alt Gr" key on there? On the right of the space bar. You might need to use that

lmao... soo confusing searching around for that.. every thread saying something different lol

Apparently it's Alt Graph (IBM says alternate graphic), but it just sounds like an angry alt key to me

i didnt realize how many different keyboard layouts there are

i knew about qwerty vs azerty but apparently theres even sub-types

Yep I have to use that for these on my layout: ~{[|\@]}. Makes typing more inconvenient when programming

any idea why when i drop my item whilst its being picked up with a tween animation it phases out of existence? i tried using a coroutine and yield new waitforseconds to make the player wait for the animation to be over before he is able to drop it but that didnt work.

short hazel
# lost anvil any idea why when i drop my item whilst its being picked up with a tween animati...

Most likely because the tween on the local position is still in progress when the object gets unparented. The frame of reference of the object suddenly changes (the local position is identical to the world position when an object has no parent), but the tween continues applying modifications to the local position. You'll probably find your objects near the world origin (0, 0, 0) when you make the bug happen.

lost anvil
#

that would make sense

short hazel
#

Solution: kill the tween if the object is dropped before it's completed

Hello everyone. I have a question about Images & RawImages and I don't know WHY it works that way...
Basically, when I run this code :

public Image image; // Ref set in editor
public void SetImg() { image.sprite = Resources.Load("Sprites/MyFileName") as Sprite; }

It sets the Image to none instead of the correct one

However, when I do the exact same with a RawImage instead :

public RawImage rawImage; // Ref set in editor
public void SetRawImg() { rawImage.texture = Resources.Load("Sprites/MyFileName") as Texture; }

It works properly and as intended.

I would appreciate an explanation as I can't really put my finger on it. Thanks

I know, I'm loading as a Sprite for Image and as Texture for RawImage

#

It works when I load it as a Texture for RawImage. Why doesn't it work for Image when I load it as Sprite ?

#

Same exact file

ivory bobcat
#

A png isn't a sprite

tall sierra
#

Ok so. For Image, when I drag and drop it on the "Source image" thing, it works. Why ? Thinkies

ivory bobcat
tall sierra
#

Ok, so I guess I should be loading it as a Texture and making a Sprite dynamically

ivory bobcat
tall sierra
#

The one to the left is a Texture2D and the one to the right is a Sprite

#

So do we agree that loading this as a Sprite should work ?

ivory bobcat
#

I don't know what you're saying but bolt is unknown and the source image expects a sprite according to the docs.

How would I make a script where the UV of any white colored vertex group gets controlled by the movement of a bone

Raw png files are not sprites.

im trying to make a walljumping code like the one in ultrakill and how would i go about it

amber spruce

how do i instantiate a object under a specific object

slender nymph
amber spruce
slender nymph
#

i am aware of what you meant. did you read the docs?

amber spruce
#

yes im still confused

slender nymph
#

did you see how most of the overloads for Instantiate take a parent parameter to specify the parent of the object being instantiated?

amber spruce
#

yeah but why is it a transform not a gameobject

slender nymph
#

why would it be a GameObject type? but also why does that really matter? every GameObject has a transform and every Transform has a gameObject

amber spruce

#

bro what was rick tryin to do

amber spruce
#

how do i convert a array to a new type so for example i want to convert it from gameobject to text objects each gameobject has a text component

timber tide
#

text is just a component of a gameobject, so cycle through your game objects and grab each of their text components and stick em in a container

swift crag
#

A GameObject is not a TMP_Text

rocky canyon
#

apparently with linq u can

swift crag
#

It doesn't matter that the game object happens to have a text component on it

#

It's not a text component

amber spruce
swift crag
#

You can iterate over a bunch of game objects and try to get a TMP_Text from each one, sure

#

But it's very important that you understand that this is not just "converting" the game objects into something else

north kiln
#

You can make a new array. .Select(g => g.GetComponent<TMP_Text>()).ToArray();

rocky canyon
#

see ^ magic

swift crag
#

and I also have to wonder why you can't just reference the text components from the start 🤔

amber spruce
# 
NetworkClient[] networkClients = NetworkManager.Singleton.ConnectedClientsList.ToArray();

players.Select(networkClients => networkClients.GetComponent<NetworkObject>().OwnerClientId).ToArray();

so smth like this or no

swift crag
timber tide
#

if you right click where the underline is at the error, VS will fix it for you (implement interface methods or something along that line)

swift crag
# 
players.Select(networkClients => networkClients.GetComponent<NetworkObject>().OwnerClientId)

For each player, this tries to get a NetworkObject from the player, then gets OwnerClientId from the NetworkObject

# 
players.Select(player => player.GetComponent<NetworkObject>().OwnerClientId)
#

a better-named rewriting

#

this doesn't make sense, though

swift crag

L + no ide + homophobia in bio

swift crag
#

this is an anonymous function that has one argument

#

the argument is named player

#

this function just returns whatever you give it

# 
public List<int> Foo() {
  return players.Select(player => player.id).ToList();
}

public List<int> Bar() {
  return players.Select(GetId).ToList();
}

public int GetId(Player player) {
  return player.id;
}
#

Foo and Bar do the same thing.

ivory bobcat
swift crag
#

you don't need parens for a single-argument anonymous function.

#

but yes, you, more generally, use parentheses for the parameter list

ivory bobcat
#

Where yours would be (player) => player.GetComponent<NetworkObject>().OwnerClientId

#

Was simply being explicit

amber spruce
#

aight thanks

swift crag
#

Select is a LINQ extension method. You add using System.Linq; to access it.

#

It works on any enumerable thing: lists, arrays, etc.

#

for each item in the enumeration, it runs the method on it

# 
List<int> numbers = new() { 1, 2, 3 };
List<int> doubled = numbers.Select(x => x * 2).ToList();
#

ToList() makes a new list out of the sequence

ivory bobcat
# amber spruce how do i convert a array to a new type so for example i want to convert it from ...

Relative to what Mao said #💻┃code-beginner message , it'd look something like this if you aren't using linqcs Text[] texts = new Text[gameObjects.Length]; for(int i = 0; i < gameObjects.Length; ++i) texts[i] = gameObjects[i].GetComponent<Text>();With the above, the new array would have a bunch of nulls wherever a component wasn't present. A List implementation would look something like thiscs List<Text> texts = new List<Text>(gameObjects.Length); foreach(GameObject go in gameObjects) if(go.TryGetComponent(out Text text)) texts.Add(text);

This is my trigger code, I have rigidbody2D, I have 2 objects only, a player and a box, both with colliders, the trigger is on for the box and for some reason the trigger refuses to go off when colliding. Im using the input system as well, with some code for movement if that effects much (im extremely new, apologies)
#

Movement code:





private Vector2 movement;
private Rigidbody2D rb;






private void Awake()
{
    rb = GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>();
}

private void OnMovement(InputValue value)
{
    movement = value.Get<Vector2>();
}

private void FixedUpdate()
{
    rb.MovePosition(rb.position + movement * speed * Time.fixedDeltaTime);
}```

The one above seems to have a canvas renderer and a rect transform rather than a standard tranform component.

I was trying to code a script where the white vertex color has its UV moved according to a bone's position. I got it to target the color, but the only problem is that it cycles through random colors of the texture and does not follow the bone

image.png image.png
teal viper
sly wasp
#

I am using vertex colors so the script knows where to control the UVs

#

It is one mesh so the eyes are not separated

#

Also the eyes are flat

teal viper
#

Okay, well, you're only changing the uvs, so it just samples different positions of the texture.

sly wasp
#

How would I make it move based on the position of the selected bone and have a limit of how strong the movement is?

teal viper
#

Wdym by "make it move"?

#

Uvs are in range of 0 to 1. Using bone position to calculate gonna result in some unrelated numbers.

#

In the first place mapping bone position to uvs sounds like a crazy idea. What are you trying to achieve?

sly wasp
#

What I mean by making it move?
Well the eye is included in the body's texture, so I'd like to move the uv of it up and down based on the bone's x and y position.

teal viper
#

Okay, I see...🤔

sly wasp
teal viper
#

You'll need to define the uv positions range of the eyes and maybe use a Lerp to map bone local positions to uv coordinates.

#

With your approach its gonna be pretty performance heavy though. Normally custom shaders are used for this kind of stuff.

sly wasp
#

How would you do shaders

#

With this stuff

thorn holly
#

So I have a class, ClassA, and ClassA contains a field of the type ClassB. Each instance of ClassB is a field of an instance of ClassA, and no instance of ClassB is assigned to multiple instances of ClassA. I’m trying to make it so that if you take any given instance of ClassB, it can reference the ClassA it’s a field of. My issue is that I can’t edit ClassB, as I got it from a library. The only idea I’ve come up with is looping through every instance of ClassA and checking if the field contains that specific instance of ClassB, but I feel like that’s really inefficient. Any better ideas?

rough nest
#

i'm a little confused, i have the variables defined publicly but it only lets me use isGrounded?

image.png image.png
#

and i have saved the script for the controller

teal viper
# sly wasp How would you do shaders

Ideally, you'd have eyes as a separate mesh rendered by a separate material.
If they're a part of a bigger mesh, you'd need to pass in additional data(probably a float2 would do) to your shader describing the position of the eyes as well as a mask texture defining the area of the eyes. In the fragment shader you would then sample the mask to see if the pixel is in it and if it is, shift the sampling position by an amount calculated from the passed in eye position data.

teal viper
#

If classB is extendible, you can extend it and add a field to reference classA too.

teal viper
rough nest
#

sorry, should have posted the error as well

ivory bobcat
#

CC has it's own isGrounded

rough nest
#

wait

ivory bobcat
#

It's likely not referring to your isGrounded you posted above

teal viper
#

Where do you have is walking defined?

#

i uh, forgot that unity has its own character controller

#

oops

yeah, that's why

I am still getting this error: Unity CS2012: Cannot open 'Assembly-CSharp.dll' for writing. This happens when I edit and compiling scrips and this would always pop up. I have moved my files out of OneDrive and put them in Desktop (not connected to OneDrive) but I am still getting that error. I tried to delete the library folder but it won't allow me because Windows swears Assembly-CSharp.dll is being used by something. I was told it was an Antivirus situtation but, its still not allowing me after I made the file clear of any viruses. Is there any other solutions?

vale cradle
#

hi can anyone please help me

#

I am working on a 2d platformer game and i have made c# scripts for healthbar and health so the problem is that my script's are not giving any error, I have made a private void Update()
{
if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.E))
TakeDamage(1);
}

#

this

#

in my health script

#

so when ever i press E

#

one heart will turn black but when i am testing it out in unity all my hearts are turning black at once and also my player stopped jumping

#

there is no error showing up in unity either

modest dust
#

First of all !code

eternal falconBOT
modest dust
#

Second of all, show more of it, specifically the TakeDamage method

vale cradle
#

okay

#

can you just check my code?

modest dust
#

First you'd have to send it

vale cradle
#

using UnityEngine;
public class Health : MonoBehaviour
{
[SerializeField] private float startingHealth;
public float currentHealth { get; private set; }

private void Awake()
{
    currentHealth = startingHealth;
}
public void TakeDamage(float _damage)
{
    currentHealth = Mathf.Min(currentHealth - _damage, 0, startingHealth);

    if (currentHealth > 0)
    {
        // player hurt
    }
    else 
    {
        // player dead
    }
}

private void Update()
{
    if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.E))
        TakeDamage(1);
}

}

modest dust
#

once again, !code

eternal falconBOT
vale cradle
#

i don't understand

burnt vapor
#

Please share your code properly

modest dust
#

```cs
// Code here
```

#

Also you're calling Mathf.Min(currentHealth - _damage, 0, startingHealth);

#

Which will just take the lowest value

#

Which is 0, then -1 on the next call

#

You probably want Clamp, not Min

vale cradle
#

Okay

#

thankyou

#

But my player still isn't jumping

modest dust
#

That's another issue

#

If your player is now damaged properly, then debug what's going on when you're trying to jump

#

First update your code if you haven't yet and check if everything is fine

vale cradle
#

yes

#

i did it but my player just doesn't jump or attack

modest dust
#

Show the code for jumping and attacking

vale cradle
#

yes
