[vale cradle]

i don't understand that am i supposed to past my codein one of the links?

[burnt vapor]

Seems pretty self explanatory

Just paste your code in a code block as specified or paste large code blocks on a paste website

[vale cradle]

okay

[burnt vapor]

I also don't think PlayerAttack is a class relevant to your issue of not being able to jump

[modest dust]

Well, he did say that he can't both jump and attack

[burnt vapor]

So where's the part that handles jumping?

[modest dust]

But seeing the jumping part of the code would be nice.

[vale cradle]

there wasn't any issue with jump and attack but just stopped working since i had the issue with hearts

[burnt vapor]

So everything is fixed?

[vale cradle]

i pasted that in the link wait

how do i share that

[modest dust]

paste the link

[vale cradle]

the heart problem is fixed

https://gdl.space/vavenofele.cs

[burnt vapor]

This is not the code that handles jumping

[vale cradle]

https://gdl.space/etivogehac.cs

[modest dust]

Show PlayerMovement code

ah, ok

[vale cradle]

yes

[burnt vapor]

So is line 58 the part that doesn't work?

[vale cradle]

yes

[burnt vapor]

First of all, place a debug message in that if-statement to see if it's triggered at all. Also place one at the start of the jump method

https://unity.huh.how/debugging/logging/how-to

See if both of these trigger

[vale cradle]

yes

[burnt vapor]

You placed the log message where I specified and they both call?

[vale cradle]

no it doesn't

[burnt vapor]

Neither?

[vale cradle]

no error oe anything

[burnt vapor]

Alright, so let's see why the method doesn't trigger

My first thought would be wallJumpCooldown

At line 35 there's an if statement that mostly prevents the method from being called. Place a debug message above this statement and log wallJumpCooldown as explained in the link I shared with you

See what the variable value is every frame

[vale cradle]

yes

[burnt vapor]

Any luck?

[vale cradle]

no

i'll try re doing it

[burnt vapor]

Anything specific you get stuck at?

Remember this #💻┃code-beginner message article explains how you can log variables

[vale cradle]

yes

[vale cradle]

not really it's just a non expected thing for me i don't really understand i am new to this

but i'll try to figure it out somehow

[burnt vapor]

That's fine, it's not like I expect it to be done perfect. It's a very good skill to learn debugging

Just figure out what wallJumpCooldown is in that method

[vale cradle]

yes thankyou to both of you for helping me in this

[vale cradle]

yes i will

[burnt vapor]

Did you manage to do it? The best way would be to put it above the if-statement

[vale cradle]

yes i am on it

[burnt vapor]

Alright I'll wait for an update

[vale cradle]

yes

[vale cradle]

I have another problem

is it okay if i paste the pic here?

i want to delete a transition but it's not giving me an option

in animator window

I want to remove the one in blue

i looked everywhere but it didn't explain anything related to it

[burnt vapor]

Better off asking this one in #🏃┃animation

[vale cradle]

oh

okay

[night mural]

it's selected, does hitting the delete key not work?

[vale cradle]

it's not giving me an option to delete

[night mural]

hit the delete key on your keyboard

[vale cradle]

okay

Well it worked thankyou

You've put comments inside ur script explaining exactly what everything is supposed to do, yet you cant figure it out yourself?

[keen dew]

And the comments are written with perfect spelling and grammar, but in Discord you can't put a sentence together without typos?

[languid spire]

And, as if that was not enough, I see absolutely no evidence that you have even tried to debug this code

[vale cradle]

why am i getting this error

[teal viper]

Probably a random ui bug. Clear the error and see if it happens again. Resetting the windows layout might help if it occurs again.

[vale cradle]

yes i just did it thankyou for helping

Hello GoodMorning my friends

Hello, I wanted to ask if anyone has time to help me fix my game so I don't send it, but I would like to ask what I can change. I won't send it because I'm afraid it will be stolen. However, the problem is that there are so many little things that work quickly. I fix something, something else doesn't matter. I'd like to work through the entire game from scratch so everything is compatible, but I'm just a beginner myself and would need someone who knows Unity

[frigid sequoia]

If I want to access a class (call it Z) referenced in another class (call it Y) from a third class (call it X) (for example from a script that heals the player, and it access the player Controller and the UI Manager referenced in player controler) what is the more suited way to go? Make the class Z public in Y so I can get it from X with just the reference to Y, create public methods in Y to set anything I need in Z without the need a reference, make a reference for both Z and Y in X or it just doesn't really matter?

[acoustic crow]

Otherwise I would always describe all the problems and then you can write me the solution or an alternative if someone is willing to explain it

[frigid sequoia]

That's kinda a non-question, ask something we can help you right now if you have an actual concise doubt about it

Just "fix my game" is basically asking for genie to grant you a wish

[acoustic crow]

No, that's not what I meant. Of course we have to do it together, step by step, but because it's so much, I thought I wouldn't ask because I'm bothering people here and nobody wants to help

I have to take a quick look at the game and browse through it, then I'll ask if you can give me just 10 minutes

"Google Translate is not the best lol"

[vale cradle]

can any one help me with this error

what do i do

https://gdl.space/zegeqeqisi.cs

this is the code

[halcyon geyser]

I dont think this is the correct code

[vale cradle]

for the saw?

[halcyon geyser]

Youre supposedly using some kind of AnimationEvent somewhere

[vale cradle]

i'll check

[halcyon geyser]

Or ur working on an AnimationEvent with missing information

As it doesnt give any specific file where this error occurs it might be the latter

[vale cradle]

I don't really know i'll keep checking

does it have anything to do with one of my documents?

in this maybe?

[modest dust]

Dear lord, you're making me remember my programming exams at uni.

Depending on the situation, I either inject the reference I need, get it from a static reference manager, or if there is something in between the reference I need to access (X needs Z, X->Y->Z) then I either just grab it via a property/method in Y or call a method which Y/interface implements in order to do things with Z.

It doesn't really matter as long as the code is easy to understand, modify and expand if needed.
If I'm not sure, then I try and make it as simple as possible, so if I ever encounter any need to change it so that it can support other situations as well, I won't need to rewrite half of my project.

In this kind of situation, I'd probably let the player handle changing the UI and just call a method to modify his health

[timber tide]

This is my goto which is this service locator pattern. It's either that or using some manager in between that binds delegates but that's so much extra effort, though it still has its uses by making stuff more detatchable (like UI in this case)

[frigid sequoia]

I though the more manageable and scalable is just make the UI reference public; but I have been told to avoid making stuff public if possible so, not sure here...

[autumn tusk]

how would i put in a collision detection system

basically rn i have an enemy that teleports, and teleports randomly until it reaches a valid location, before spawning a smoke bomb effect

[timber tide]

One way or another you need access to your methods from other scripts, you can be classy and use delegates or pass by interfaces, or just grab the references via statically

[autumn tusk]

it spawns the smoke effect every time the enemy teleports, instead of when the enemy exits its teleportation state

how would i add a check to make sure the enemy is not in a teleportation state

[lost hamlet]

Is there actually any reason to not put everything public? It does help modders (tho Harmony and Traverse exist)

Maybe private stuff that can break easily

[timber tide]

if somethign that doesn't need to be used outside of a script it should be private

[frigid sequoia]

I mean, it probably has very few uses from outside the player Controller, mostly health and score and some visual effects. Maybe a menu in the future? Dunno

Probably should just create a method to heal instead of just one for taking damage, that should do it

[frigid sequoia]

Does the enemy has a way to detect when he has spawned on a valid possition? Like that is something that It does rn or It is what you WANT it to do?

[brave compass]

Because it makes things harder for you as a developer. If all the inner details of every class is public, then you need to understand all the inner details of every class at all times to know which fields and methods are actually relevant for outside scripts.

[autumn tusk]

i made scripts to detect an invalid location, but havent made a valid location detector yet

[frigid sequoia]

I mean, you probably don't really care much about security if you are doing something small, so it is kinda more from readability and protect you from yourself later on

[lost hamlet]

I don't really have a problem with that, tho i mostly break up my stuff in smaller pieces

which makes it easier for me to understand even if i forget about it

[autumn tusk]

if youre using prefabs for stuff like enemies, you need to set sensitive stuff like health to private

[frigid sequoia]

Just make a courutine with a timer that spawn the smoke just a bit after doing the tp, and reset it each time the tp effect is called

[brave compass]

So, for example, say you make an inventory system. You might store items in a List<Item>. But to add items to the inventory, you might need to do more than just add things to the list. For example, you might want to enforce a limit on the number of items, or weight of items. For that, you have the AddItem(Item) method, which does those things. But if you make the List<Item> also public, you might be tempted to just add items directly into the list, because you might forget about the AddItem(Item) method.

[lost hamlet]

Oh yeah i just put useless stuff in private, i.e. stuff that don't need to be touched. i mostly talked about stuff that direct access wouldn't hurt

[frigid sequoia]

Yeah, is pretty much for stuff like that. But I honestly whenever I am going to call something I usually go to the definition first and click on the parameter to see where it is being used within the class

[lost hamlet]

I just tend to remember how everything works

assuming i don't stop working for a few weeks

[brave compass]

Well, then we're talking about the same thing. I don't know if I would call the List in this example useless, but I agree that direct access to it is not useful for outside scripts. I was just replying to this question of yours, which suggests you would never use private:

Is there actually any reason to not put everything public?

[frigid sequoia]

You do for a game that you have been doing for month. Would you remember after a year? What if you are working with someone else? What if someone else wants to later edit your code?

That's the reason

If you are confortable using public go on

Is just good habit to avoid it

[alpine glen]

it can make debugging your issues a nightmare

[lost hamlet]

i'm working the way i do because i'm alone. if i was working with someone else, i would adapt

in fact i'm working on mods with other people and we have guidelines and such

[alpine glen]

your working alone with other people?

0-0

[lost hamlet]

Nah in a team

We have a funny name linked to the game too

[frigid sequoia]

That's how I feel on life, I live alone with other people 😛

[lost hamlet]

That honestly is pretty close to how i live

[alpine glen]

In any case, making things private can make debugging your code a lot easier, if only a few certain things can be accessed from outside the script you don't need to search a ton of stuff to see whats potentially effecting it

[acoustic crow]

I have a menu script that requires me to drag and drop many public GameObjects or panels into it, which is fine. The issue arises because these objects exist in the world and everything works there, but when I need to apply this to the main menu scene, it also requires these objects to be present in the main menu.

How can I solve this problem, or what do I need to change?

😦

Or to put it another way, how do you do it?

[teal viper]

If these objects are essential for the proper working of the menu, then you have no option but to have them in the main menu scene as well.🤷‍♂️

[acoustic crow]

There must surely be an easier solution to this. also performance-friendly

If everything has to be loaded in the background to work, that's performance intensive, but writing another script for it just ruins the overview

[teal viper]

Well, if your main menu depends on objects in the world, then it's a poor implementation.

Think why it depends on them and look for a way to eliminate the dependency

At least in certain situations(like a different scene)

[queen adder]

Hello, it is not really a code error but here is my issue:
I cant rotate my camera around on unity. I can only go up, down, left and right, but not rotate to different angles. It used to hold right nouse button and move mouse around but it is not working it is just moving left and right. plz help

[burnt vapor]

Not a code issue? Is this related to the main editor camera then and not some ingame camera?

[acoustic crow]

1. Click Layout at the top right
2. Then in the DropDownMenu select Reset All Layouts

I also had the bug sometimes and was always able to solve it because the unity control somehow didn't work

[queen adder]

okay, I will try

[acoustic crow]

please tell me whether it worked or not

[queen adder]

It didnt work 😦

[acoustic crow]

So if you hold down the right mouse button (1) you still can't look around?

[rocky canyon]

ur heart rate needs to be in the 80 -85 range for it to work correctly 😜

[queen adder]

Nope, if i hold right mouse button down, it just moves side to side 😦

[queen adder]

It was 120 earlier, there was a tornado watch and the weather was bad

[rocky canyon]

id hate having that on my screen

i know i stress enuff no need to remind myself heh

but yea i see ur drag box when u right clicked.. it shouldnt do that..

[acoustic crow]

Sorry, then I don't know what we can do next, but there is probably someone here who knows more than me, for me it always worked when there was something wrong with the controls

[rocky canyon]

you dont have probuilder do u?

[rocky canyon]

click this lock icon

ur axis' are locked

[queen adder]

omg tyyyyyyy

[rocky canyon]

np mate

[queen adder]

LOL i never wooulda known

[rocky canyon]

yea ive had that issue once.. its hard to discover since the icon is sooo small

[queen adder]

also, ty Hungriger for helping too 🙂

[rocky canyon]

and no one ever really clicks it on purpose

😄

[acoustic crow]

no problem, I'll help you and you help me. That's what the discord is for, we learn together and help each other

[queen adder]

🙂

[sage mirage]

Hey, guys! I got an issue here. So, whenever I click the play button on my main menu scene I see that. Check my code as well.

[languid spire]

So there is no gameobject called Player

[sage mirage]

Yes probably in my main menu scene

Do I have to like maybe copy paste from the other scene my player game object on that scene?

My game manager prefab is used across the other scenes

That's why I ve made it as a prefab

And the other managers

[queen adder]

I am having another error again. Mild NSFW

[tulip stag]

Sorry, I'm still new to using interfaces. I've used them for a method before and it works fine. Why is it not picking up on that string right there?
This is what my interface looks like:

{
    //Interface for general actions
    public interface IAction
    {
        string actionName { get; }
        void Cancel();
    }
}```
Should I make a whole method called GetActionName() and within my action scripts do 
```void GetActionName()
{
        return actionName;
}```
I'm sure this will fix my problem but I'm wondering if there's a simpler implementation

[tulip stag]

Nevermind, I just realized that void GetActionName actually has to be string GetActionName and it'll end up not fixing my problem

oh it just had to be public 😭

[wintry quarry]

You're experiencing the problem with shoving all kinds of unrelated functionality into one big mega game manager script. Make things more modular or rewrite your code to expect that things don't always exist.

[buoyant rune]

can anyone help me with these two problems that i have, the first one being when the enemy collides with the player the player just drops down into thte tiles and the second problem being the enemy just phases through the walls

my enemy is meant to track the player when it enters it its perimeters and it does do that successfully

however if i wwalk upwardsyou can see what the enemy does

[chrome wadi]

google tells me that this is a problem of Unity. How do I fix this? Because my code works so far everything

[languid spire]

yes, unity bug, restart your editor

[chrome wadi]

I did it yesterday and it always comes back ^^ thin i need to fix it 😄

[rocky canyon]

it be like that sometimes

[languid spire]

the only thing you can do to fix it is to not have any windows open that use graphs

[rocky canyon]

try a different version

[chrome wadi]

Is there a big difference? because I use : 2022.3.6f1

[queen adder]

I can't upload! idk what is wrong

[rocky canyon]

nah not really.. all 2022+ are similar

2021 is even good imo

[languid spire]

yes, upgrade to the latest 2022.3 version

[chrome wadi]

Okay thanks i try it ^^

[buoyant rune]

with unity, how do i configure visual studio permanently

like i configure it but everytime i re launch it , i gotta do it again

[cosmic dagger]

🤔 you (should) only have to do it once . . .

[burnt vapor]

Try launching Unity as admin and changing the settings then

I assume the default editor option is not saved

[buoyant rune]

alright thanks

[buoyant rune]

can anyone help me with this

[acoustic crow]

Yes, I know, but can you help me fix it?

[vale cradle]

i got erros

[teal viper]

Well, start from reading the errors, the callstacks and looking at the line of code that throws them.

[acoustic crow]

Error 1

MissingReferenceException: The object of type 'GameObject' has been destroyed but you are still trying to access it.
Your script should either check if it is null or you should not destroy the object.
UnityEngine.Object.Internal_InstantiateSingle (UnityEngine.Object data, UnityEngine.Vector3 pos, UnityEngine.Quaternion rot) (at <f7237cf7abef49bfbb552d7eb076e422>:0)

        PlayAudio("Explosion");
        effectsScript.PlayExplosion(transform.position); <---
        Destroy(gameObject);
    }

[teal viper]

The cause is self explanatory:

MissingReferenceException: The object of type 'GameObject' has been destroyed but you are still trying to access it.

And looking at the stack trace you can tell that it was thrown by UnityEngine.Object.Internal_InstantiateSingle which was called from UnityEngine.Object.Instantiate, which was called from UnityEngine.Object.Instantiate[T] which was called from your code Effects.PlayExplosion in file Assets/Scripts/Play/Effects.cs line 10.

[vale cradle]

Please help me with these errors

[vale cradle]

i did

[teal viper]

Yes, although it's not errors. It's bugs.

[acoustic crow]

@teal viper okey i try it

[teal viper]

Great, so find the missing reference and either make sure it's assigned or that you make a null check.

i mean like it's going to be zero untl you put a value

I am actully like seeing the environment of unity engine and my uni is going to start with c# ( i know i can start right away) my uni has actually told us to create a 2D platformer game so i was going throught a yt tutorial for that but i am stuck on this erroe so i was asking for help

[teal viper]

You're using transform to move your object directly. That's gonna ignore physics.

transform.position += direction * movementSpeed * Time.deltaTime;

Use some physics compatible method to move it instead.

[vale cradle]

i am very new to unity and C# but i will go through some basic

[carmine elm]

i was wrong i just want to turn the vecctor 90 degress in the left. Is in 2D.

[teal viper]

Well, what does null reference error mean?

I've seen that before. I'm asking you whether you understand what that error means.

[acoustic crow]

No, I don't know what the error means

[teal viper]

What is a reference?

[acoustic crow]

I dont use this in unity before

you mean puplic gameobject coin?

[teal viper]

It's not unity. It's basics of C#. I suggest going through them before continuing with the project.

[acoustic crow]

I don't understand why you can't explain it to me, because maybe I know, but I'll tell you another way, just tell me an example

[teal viper]

Because we can't make a C# basics lecture here in the discord, it's not what the server is for.

[acoustic crow]

All you have to do is write one sentence that explains it, but if that's too difficult for you, okay...

[rocky canyon]

u mean flip it?

[languid spire]

you have a reference that is null, now are you any wiser?

[rocky canyon]

if its 2d and a sprite theres a flip boolean

[teal viper]

Explains what? What a reference is? What null is? What a null reference exception is? That's already 3 sentences to write and they have some underlying knowledge dependencies as well. If I'm gonna explain everything here, it's gonna be a wall of text.

[modest dust]

And all you have to do is google it and get access to more than enough basic learning materials, which are required to go through if you wish to have a pleasant time learning and using Unity

[carmine elm]

YES

i want the vector to be flipped

i m making a shooting

script

[rocky canyon]

on the sprite component theres that Flip boolean

[carmine elm]

i don t mean th

that

[wintry quarry]

to invert a vector you can multiply it by -1.
To rotate a vector you can multiply it with a Quaternion. For example to rotate 90 degrees clockwise on the Z axis you can do:

Vector3 rotatedVector = Quaternion.Euler(0, 0, 90) * originalVector;```

[rocky canyon]

not sure what u mean by vector to be flipped then... if u want the vector flipped u can just change the vector

[rocky canyon]

i posted a link w/ all the rotation methods earlier..

[wintry quarry]

are you wanting to rotate this object? Or just a vector?

[carmine elm]

just a vector

[wintry quarry]

#💻┃code-beginner message

[rocky canyon]

that'd be a 180 degree Rotation

on the Y axis

[wintry quarry]

looks like 90 degrees counterclockwise on the z axis to me

[rocky canyon]

its 2D... the z points forward

[wintry quarry]

yes

and we are rotating around the z axis

[rocky canyon]

if u rotate it on the z its flipping upside down

[wintry quarry]

90 degrees counterclockwise on the z axis will get that image, assuming the arrow pointing left is the green arrow and the one pointing up is the red (they drew them as both red)

I can see how you are saying 180 degrees on the y

[wintry quarry]

yeah

[rocky canyon]

lol,, u confused me 😅

[wintry quarry]

it's unclear which they want though

both are valid

[carmine elm]

thanks

[rocky canyon]

cool cool.. but yea.. check out rotation methods https://gamedevbeginner.com/how-to-rotate-in-unity-complete-beginners-guide/

as mentioned before

[wintry quarry]

up here they said 90 degrees to the left which I read as 90 degrees counterclockwise around the z axis

[hollow zenith]

Does foreach over List<> iterate in order?

[shell sorrel]

yes

[hollow zenith]

nice, I assume dictionary is a case where it doesnt?

[wintry quarry]

Yes, that's part of the guarantee of a List, it keeps things in the order they were added

[shell sorrel]

does not

[wintry quarry]

Correct, Dictionary is not ordered by definition

[shell sorrel]

Dictionary does not have a order

[hollow zenith]

Cool, I knew that one of them is not in order and needed to be sure since I am writing a priority list and its important that it happens in order 😄

[shell sorrel]

if you wanted could used a OrderedDictionary or keep a list of keys

generally if it has a index it is ordered

[hollow zenith]

Ah yes thats what I remember.
What is sorted list tho?

It seems to be a dictionary?

[shell sorrel]

what is the exact type you are talking about

[hollow zenith]

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.collections.sortedlist?view=net-8.0

[wintry quarry]

SortedList is really a sorted binary tree

IDK why they call it a list

it's almost the same as SortedDictionary too

[shell sorrel]

you will prolly never need to use that type

[hollow zenith]

Alright, good to know, thanks. I will keep using List since it does what I need it to.

[shell sorrel]

List if you want a list of items, that is ordered or you want to access by index

Dictionary, if you want to access it by some other sort of key and do not care about the order

like a string key being common for accessing it by a id or name

[hollow zenith]

Yep I use that, recently I even used HashSet since I needed a dictionary without value.

[gaunt ice]

sorted list is not binary tree
https://github.com/microsoft/referencesource/blob/master/System/compmod/system/collections/generic/sortedlist.cs#L177

it is just a list

[wintry quarry]

fine it's a list that maintains internal sorting

SortedDictionary is a tree

but they have almost identical APIs

your error message is telling you exactly what the problem is

you can't call new GameData(); in the field initializer like you have there

you need to do it in a method like Awake or Start

[teal viper]

It's written in the error details

[wintry quarry]

the line where the error is obviously

the line where you have written new GameData();

[teal viper]

It even says at "path":line number

[queen adder]

I'm having trouble adding my maze generator to a background sprite so that it draws on the background instead of at the empty object and the ways I've tried haven't worked well can anyone help with this?

[timid marlin]

Im trying to fix this code where when i collect a coin, it gets destroyed and adds to my points, i dont know what the problem is and how to fix it

[wintry quarry]

It's a bog standard null reference exception

[timid marlin]

what..

[wintry quarry]

1. Looks like the thing you collided with doesn't have the "PlayerCollectCoins" script attached to it.
2. Your IDE is not configured

[teal viper]

What text editor is that?😅

[timid marlin]

yeah idk why the colors went away

[red siren]

Hi, I have a shader that changes the a render texture that I use to render the screen tot he player. I want to store those changes and apply them back to the main texture. Sort of to keep the effect and create a permanent change on what the player is saying. I'm using a render texture and a temporary render texture to store the changes, then applying them back to that main texture. I'm in Unity 2022.3, using URP.

`using UnityEngine;

public class ShaderTextureUpdater : MonoBehaviour
{
public Material material;
public RenderTexture mainRenderTexture;
public RenderTexture tempRenderTexture;
public string mainTextureProperty = "_MainTex";

void Start()
{

    mainRenderTexture.filterMode = FilterMode.Bilinear;
    mainRenderTexture.wrapMode = TextureWrapMode.Clamp;

    tempRenderTexture.filterMode = FilterMode.Bilinear;
    tempRenderTexture.wrapMode = TextureWrapMode.Clamp;
}

void Update()
{

    Graphics.Blit(mainRenderTexture, tempRenderTexture, material);
    Graphics.Blit(tempRenderTexture, mainRenderTexture);
    material.SetTexture(mainTextureProperty, mainRenderTexture);
}

}
`

This doesn't work for some reason, anybody got any idea why this might be?

I wonder if Graphics.Blit doesn't work in Unity 2022.3, but that sounds a bit farfetched.

[chrome wadi]

if i collect Gem 2 first it works that my gemcount is 3 but if i collect first gem 3 and then i collect gem 2 gem count is 3 and if i collect the last gem gemcount is 5 idk why he count +2 if i collect a other coin first anybody know what i did wrong ?

[wintry quarry]

learn arrays my friend

your code should just be:

GemCount++;
gems[GemCount - 1].SetActive(true);```instead of that big `if` chain.

they can also all just have the Gem tag.. don't make a different tag for every gem

[chrome wadi]

array better in start or awake ?

[wintry quarry]

I don't really understand the question

[chrome wadi]

did it but it resolved not my problem. Wait a moment pls

[sage mirage]

Just to refer, whenever you want to destroy a game object you actually don't have to destroy it, as well as with instantiation. I know with that I am not helping you with your current issue but what I mean is it is better to disable and enable your game objects wherever you want rather than destroying them, for example if you have game objects to instantiate it is better to use Object Pooling method for these purposes 🙂

[chrome wadi]

My problem is when I collect the coins in a different order. Suddenly, the other coin no longer counts as +1 but as +2. I had an array before, but that didn't work either. This is the array I had before

[halcyon geyser]

ohboy

[wintry quarry]

sounds like an unrelated bug

[willow scroll]

Where is this method being called?

Also why would gemCount be less than zero?

[willow scroll]

We usually use !code to show our code, unless you want to show syntax errors

[willow scroll]

So let's break it down. If smth collides with a gem, this gem gets destroyed and a random gem is set active with a 33.(3)% probability.

That's the exact probability for the same gem to be destroyed and spawned, causing it being collected 2 times

[chrome wadi]

and how i fix that

[willow scroll]

I am not a prophet, I don't know what you want to achieve

You may call a random gem which wasn't the one something touched?

[chrome wadi]

He counts a gem as 2 even though each gem should only be counted as +1. There are 3 gems in the game and when I have collected all of them the count is at 5

the first gem always count +1 but the secong and thierd count as +2

ah wait mb i fogert that i have 2 colliders at my palyer xD

[willow scroll]

I see, I accidently wrote "a random gem". The gem with gemCount index is activated.

[feral oar]

lmao that’ll prolly do it

[willow scroll]

The first gem will be counted +2 if you collect the gem with index 0

[willow scroll]

It won't fix the issue though

[feral oar]

might fix it counting the gem as more than what it should be

[willow scroll]

you have to get the instance of the collected gem to not activate it, probably

[willow scroll]

Well, I guess it'll count the gem at least 2 times then

[dusky quartz]

hello, are any of you familiar with greedy pathfinding

[wintry quarry]

https://dontasktoask.com/

[swift crag]

I guess Djikstra's is greedy

[dusky quartz]

mb sorry

[swift crag]

I've recently implemented A*, so I hopefully know how it works

(yeah, they're different algorithms, but they have the same vibe)

[gaunt ice]

set h to be 0 no matter where vertex is, then it is djikstra

[swift crag]

right!

[dusky quartz]

did you make node grid to that?

[swift crag]

No, this was for goal-oriented action planning

which creates new states to explore as it goes

so there's no "pre-existing" graph

All you need for A* is a set of nodes you haven't visited yet!

[final kestrel]

Hello! I am trying to play a timeline when I'm in trigger. Here are my codes. This for Player https://hatebin.com/pubfetlzaa, and this for Timeline https://hatebin.com/stsvczunrj. Is this a wrong approach? If so how can I improve on it?

[brazen canyon]

Hey guys
I have this Bool variable.
If the raycast shot from Player hit the target, I'll set this to true.

In another class I have this Bool variable to store the Bool from the other class I showed above
But it seems like the Hit is not receiving from HitTarget ?

[polar acorn]

Is there an error

[timber comet]

Try to put the bool first

[languid spire]

are you expecting Hit to change when hitTarget does?

[timber comet]

Before you instantiate

[polar acorn]

If there's no error and the second script exists at all, then you're definitely setting Hit to controller.HitTarget

Whatever value controller.HitTarget has when this script starts, Hit will have

[brazen canyon]

If it's working, i'd be able to destroy the target

[polar acorn]

Nothing in any of the code you've provided has anything to do with destroying anything

[brazen canyon]

No, I just want Hit to be true when Raycast hit just like hitTarget

[polar acorn]

all you've shown is getting a boolean in Awake which, unless there's errors, is definitely happening

[timber comet]

I think he needs to put the bool first

[languid spire]

so this Awake runs after HitTarget is set to true?

[polar acorn]

What do you mean "put the bool first"

[timber comet]

Before he instatiate the object

[timber comet]

I mean before he instatiate the object

[polar acorn]

Ah, I see what you mean. I don't actually know what object the second script is on, it could be on that vfxGreen object

Yeah, there's a good amount of ambiguity here. @brazen canyon maybe you should provide actual context and !code, which objects and which scripts these are on, and what you actually expect to be happening that isn't happening

Right, I just assumed this script was on an unrelated third object, but it could very well be on the thing being spawned

[brazen canyon]

https://paste.myst.rs/f4amp6nx

https://paste.myst.rs/4kt58juo

Here are two scripts of mine

[past ice]

Wouldn't you use if (Physics.Raycast(ray, LayerMask) if you're trying to see if the ray hit anything specific and then set the bool to what you need

[timber comet]

If it was on a third object it would be also incorrect, unless it spawns it with that object due to awake

[polar acorn]

Right that's what I'm trying to figure out

[polar acorn]

Okay so what is supposed to be happening but isn't

[slow beacon]

Hey everyone which unity course I should take to learn advance scripting and game development?

[brazen canyon]

No I don't think so, I want the Hit to be true when hitTarget is true, Hit to be false when hitTarget is false

[languid spire]

so you do want Hit to change when hitTarget changes

[brazen canyon]

I'm putting this script in the target prefab

[polar acorn]

Is that the thing you're spawning in the raycast

[timber comet]

Unity learn programming pathway

[slow beacon]

Can you send me link pls

[eternal falcon]

:teacher: Unity Learn ↗

Over 750 hours of free live and on-demand learning content for all levels of experience!

[slow beacon]

I want particular course link

[brazen canyon]

It suppose to be like this, the target jumps around.
I wrote this method in one script with the TPP Controller so it worked, but it's hard to change things so ...

[brazen canyon]

Yes

https://learn.unity.com/pathway/junior-programmer

[willow scroll]

There shouldn't be any issue to find, quite beginner-friendly
https://learn.unity.com/pathway/junior-programmer

[languid spire]

then don't have a Hit variable and always use controller.HitTarget

[brazen canyon]

Oh yeah that Instantiate, I didn't remove it, so just pretend it's isn't there

[slow beacon]

@timber comet i have seen this course now I want to learn advance game development scripting so i can make tycoon type game so any course for it ?

[brazen canyon]

Why is that ?

[timber comet]

You already know the basic of Unity?

Making a tycoon game is very difficult

[languid spire]

because when you do Hit = controller.HitTarget you are making a COPY not a REFERENCE

[brazen canyon]

Ohhhhhh

[slow beacon]

Yes

[slow beacon]

Yes I have made over 8-9 games and also did freelance work

[timber comet]

I think if you search well enough you can find some tutorials for tycoons games, but I do not recommend it

[slow beacon]

Now I want to learn advance so...

[timber comet]

Won’t learn anything

[slow beacon]

I don't know from where to start making

These tycoon type game

[polar acorn]

Okay, so, whenever this Target prefab is spawned, it will read the TargetHit variable from the TPPController script on that object and copy the value over

[willow scroll]

Got it, have you finished and understood them all perfectly? Even though, I don't think you already have enough knowledge after completing this pathway. Maybe you should try either creating your middle-level games while also learning something new or using some youtube tutorials before doing something too advanced?

[slow beacon]

Ya can you send me some good yt tutorial 🙂

[timber comet]

He should learn singletons, …

[slow beacon]

Intermediate level

[timber comet]

I don’t remember how they are called

[brazen canyon]

Sounds about right.
But Mr.SteveSmith said that I'm just copying not reference-ing ?

[polar acorn]

So am I

You're getting the value of TargetHit at the time the code is running and storing that value in Hit

[bitter scaffold]

Dear everyone, I hope to get help from you. I am building aviator crash game, but I am a beginer so I don't know how to do it,
Currently I have built like this
Now I don't know the graph function for airplane, would you please help me this one?
any tips will be fine.

[willow scroll]

Singletons is something that allows to have a some kind of "static" instance for a non-static class. I don't think this's a great explanation though. They usually look like this:

GameManager.Instance.MyMethod();

You can find a plenty of tutorials (not necessarily on youtube)

[slow beacon]

@willow scroll can you send me some good yt tutorial so I can learn intermediate level project

[brazen canyon]

But that sounds like what I need.
I'm confused ._.

[polar acorn]

So, you want to store the value this object's TargetHit was at the moment of its creation?

[timber comet]

Nothing too special about Singleton

[brazen canyon]

I want Hit to change when hitTarget changes
I want the Hit to be true when hitTarget is true, Hit to be false when hitTarget is false

[polar acorn]

That is not what is happening

You're setting Hit to whatever value TargetHit is at the time that line runs

[slow beacon]

No i am demanding some good projects to make in unity so I can learn intermediate level scripting not singletons

[timber comet]

He already said basically what you need to know

[polar acorn]

if you want to use the value currently in TargetHit, just use TargetHit and don't make a new boolean at all

[timber comet]

nobody demands anything on this server

[brazen canyon]

So I'll have to put it in update ?

[polar acorn]

Well, plenty of people demand. Whether or not they actually receive is different

[timber comet]

Inefficient but yes, you could use an event tho

[polar acorn]

Why do you even have a boolean on this script if the entire point of it is to just be the value of another boolean you already have a reference to

[brazen canyon]

Actions stuff ? ._.
Man I'm sucks at that.

[timber comet]

Or just pass the value

[languid spire]

which i s what I already told him

[timber comet]

You do events if you want to pass the variables between multiple objects

[timber comet]

But as he said, you can just pass the variable

[willow scroll]

I don't really use them, I can recommend you searching a specific topic you like e.g. "cookie clicker", "infinite runner" or "draggable objects", then just doing it, usually not just the full stuff copying from the video, but also implementing your own additional logic.
I can just suggest channels like Unity, Samyam and Tarodev

[brazen canyon]

Oh that sounds really convenient

[timber comet]

Yeah it is, + it only does this when needed, so it won’t check every frame for something changing

[frozen stream]

what do I do if I have a building player failed error but no other errors supporting it?

[polar acorn]

But it's also incredibly overkill for what should just be using the reference you already have

[timber comet]

Just pass the variable, as I said you should use events only if you think or know you will use something that multiple object needs

[timber comet]

So for example, if you need to check if the player dies to stop some game logic and to show some uis, just create an event: onDeath, you add the listener, and after that you don’t need to call multiple functions for the same thing

[summer stump]

What is the bug?
What does "loading so ??" mean?

[acoustic crow]

Yes, no plan, I don't even have that many objects, but it's there and then it loads

Do I need a loading screen or have I made a mistake? What do you think, when do you use a loading screen or can I not preload all objects?

[summer stump]

I don't know what the issue is. I am asking you to explain.
Nothing looked wrong in that video
You clicked play, it loaded the next scene, you played, you died, a death screen showed up?
Everything looked like it worked

[acoustic crow]

When I pressed start the game froze briefly for 1 second or just 0.5ms but I don't want that

look at the astronaut

[timber comet]

That’s just the time for loading the scene

[summer stump]

Load the scene asynchronously then

But that is very normal and expected

Not a bug. A LOT of games do that haha

[acoustic crow]

Yes, it takes 2 seconds on my cell phone and I can't preload it

what is asynchronous?

[timber comet]

If it takes more, better doing a loading screen tho, otherwise it will seems like your game froze

[timber comet]

Basically it loads something in the background

[summer stump]

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/SceneManagement.SceneManager.LoadSceneAsync.html

[acoustic crow]

Thank you

[summer stump]

Eh. Just pop a text that says loading and it's all good imo lol

But yeah, SIGNIFICANTLY longer, do a loading scene

[acoustic crow]

I'll take a quick look, thanks for the link ❤️ I'll get back to you later

[timber comet]

Right

[lost anvil]

what does { get; set; } actually mean in an interface?

[polar acorn]

It specifies a property

In an interface, it means anything implementing that interface must implement a property by that name with a get and set

[languid spire]

interfaces cannot declare variables but they can declare properties

[lost anvil]

oh how can i share a variable through scripts inheriting from my interface then? i looked it up and all i was seeing was get; set;

[languid spire]

yes that will work, a property is just a fancy variable

[polar acorn]

Interfaces cannot declare variables. Properties are the closest you'll get

[lost anvil]

wait so why isnt this working?

interface:

public interface IPickupable
{
    bool pickedUp { get; set; }
    void Pickup();
}

item script: https://gdl.space/xuxuyonowo.cpp

[short hazel]

Use an auto-property with { get; set; } and the compiler automatically creates a variable (a field) the property will access.

[lost anvil]

what can you not set it inside a seperate script then?

[polar acorn]

What doesn't work about it

[languid spire]

define not working

[lost anvil]

when i pick up an item i can still pick up another one

so i can pick up 2 at a time which is unwanted

[wintry quarry]

the script that picks things up needs to keep track of whether it has already picked something up

and not try to pick up a second thing

[short hazel]

Your issue is unrelated to using a property instead of a field

[wintry quarry]

yep just a basic data/logic issue

[languid spire]

I think he wants a static variable, that wont work with an interface

[lost anvil]

ah right so just inside the item script itself?

[polar acorn]

Are you expecting them all to share this variable? That's not how variables work

[wintry quarry]

the item script? No, in the script that picks items up

[lost anvil]

yeah i was

[wintry quarry]

for example you might have a Item currentlyHolding; variable to track the item you are currently holding. If it's null you know you're not holding anything and can pick something up.

[lost anvil]

okay ill have a go cheers

[frigid flume]

hello, is the HasKey method useful here ? or i should delete delete it

[short hazel]

What do you want to put into that variable if the key isn't present?

[frigid flume]

i want 0

[short hazel]

If I remember correctly you can use .GetInt("Force", 0) - the second argument is the default value if the key isn't here

[frigid flume]

ok thanks :)

[dawn kestrel]

This is more of an animation question, but I wasn't sure where to ask, and I figure what I'm trying to do overlaps with something I could do in code: is it possible to set an offset on just one layer of a multilayer asset (such as a .psd)? The aim is to have just one material/texture on the object, but have the "eyes" mapped to a transparent part of the texture, with a variety of eye textures below it that I can switch to on the fly.

If it makes a difference, this is for a vrchat avatar.

[wintry quarry]

you can always just change materials on the fly or swap the texture on the material out on the fly

                        Instantiate(cursorPrefab, hit.point, Quaternion.identity);
                    }

How can I store that instance of cursorPrefab I just instantiated in my cursorInstance variable?

[swift crag]

reference the prefab as a DEBUGCursor, not a GameObject

Instantiate returns an object with the type of the object you gave it

so if cursorPrefab is a GameObject, you get back the GameObject

You can reference a prefab as a GameObject or as any component type on the root of the prefab.

[tulip stag]

Yesyes. I want to instantiate this GameObject, that is prefab'd, then immediately store it in a variable

[swift crag]

If cursorPrefab is a GameObject, passing it to Instantiate will give you a GameObject.

[polar acorn]

So make your prefab of type DEBUUGCursor as Fen said

[swift crag]

You can't store that in cursorInstance.

But if cursorPrefab is a DEBUGCursor, then Instantiate will return a DEBUGCursor

[tulip stag]

So I just changed cursorInstance into a GameObject, right?

[swift crag]

That is the opposite of what I suggested.

I said you should make cursorPrefab be a DEBUGCursor

I presume you want to do things with the DEBUGCursor component.

[tulip stag]

Not really, no

[polar acorn]

I don't think you're actually reading any of the answers you're being given

[swift crag]

If you literally don't care about whatever cursorInstance is, then I guess you can make it a GameObject. This is fine if your game doesn't care at all about what components a debug cursor has

But that's not very common.

[tulip stag]

I'm reading the answers. I realized my first mistake was that they were of different types; but I'm not doing anything with the DEBUGCursor script

[swift crag]

I would still prefer to reference the prefab as a DEBUGCursor

This means I can't assign something that isn't meant to be a debug cursor to the field

and if I wind up needing to put some logic on a debug cursor later, I don't have to make any changes here

[tulip stag]

That's fair. I should do that

[swift crag]

I almost never refer to prefabs as a GameObject

none of these are prefabs, but the same idea holds

all I do with these things is active/deactivate and move them

[tulip stag]

So now both of them are of the type DEBUGCursor. What's the syntax for me to take Instantiate(cursorPrefab, hit.point, Quaternion.identity); and store it in cursorInstance?

[swift crag]

Just store the returned object into cursorInstance

that's all

really? Then you obviously missed this bit

[zinc warren]

you could of just said that i forgot to disable my camera 🤷‍♂️

[languid spire]

I could have, yes, but you are supposed to read documentation so that you learn

[willow scroll]

what does "=" mean in this context?

[polar acorn]

The answer to the question

That's how you store the new object in a variable

[swift crag]

I was going to comment on that, but I was surprised that destroying the camera would have an impact after calling Render()

[willow scroll]

Got it, thanks

[cosmic knot]

Does anybody have any experience with using navmesh in unity?

[swift crag]

ah, but you aren't actually using texture at all; you're returning the render texture you created (which is going to be a leak if you don't dispose of it). Perhaps that's how the spooky time-traveling behavior happened.

[swift crag]

Ask your question.

[cosmic knot]

I have a problem with my project. I'm using vuforia for area targets and I want to use navmesh to create a mesh for the floor so I can then guide the user to the destination. Basically indoor navigation

But the tutorial is outdated and the ai navigation no longer has the bake button

[random cedar]

hello i was adding a rigidbody to a cube to not skip the wall but its stuttering and not move can someone give me the solution plz !! no code just from inspector

[zinc warren]

i've disabled it and it still dosnt show it

[zealous geode]

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;

[CreateAssetMenu(fileName = "New Ghost", menuName = "Ghost")]

public class GhostInfo : ScriptableObject
{
    public string ghostWord;

    public int damage;

    public bool isDead = false;

    public void Initialize()
    {
        ghostWord = assignWord();
    }
    public string assignWord()
    {
        string[] wordList = { "perro", "gato", "casa", "libro", "silla", "manzana", "pelota", "coche", "mesa", "flor" };

        int randomWord = Random.Range(0, wordList.Length);

        return wordList[randomWord];
    }


    public void compareWord()
    {
        if(PlayerType.playerInput != null)
        {
            if (PlayerType.playerInput == ghostWord)
            {
                isDead = true;
                PlayerType.playerInput = "";
            }
        }
    }
}

Hello, I need some help in trying to understand why my boolean isDead is always true. To make it go true it gets compared with a player Input via an Input Field. This is the script:

    void activateInput()
    {
        InputFieldObject = Instantiate(InputFieldPrefab, canvas.transform);
        inputField = InputFieldObject.GetComponent<TMP_InputField>();
        inputField.ActivateInputField();
        inputActive = true;
    }

    void deactivateInput()
    {
        Destroy(InputFieldObject);
        playerInput = inputField.text.ToLower();
        Debug.Log(playerInput);
        inputActive = false;

    }

playerInput is declared as a static public string.

Using a script called Enemy, when the enemy prefab spawns, I call Initialize() to name it then on it's Update I check if it died or not.

    void checkDeath()
    {
        ghostData.compareWord();
        Debug.Log(ghostData.isDead);
        if (ghostData.isDead == true)
        {
            Destroy(this.gameObject);
        }
    }

[polar acorn]

How are you moving the object

[swift crag]

your code doesn't really make sense to me

you make a new render texture, then make a new texture, then read into the new texture, then...return the render texture

[languid spire]

of course not, it's AI generated code that he's modified very badly and doesn't have a clue what it does

[swift crag]

eh, it looks reasonably close to the example on the Camera.Render page

it's just wrong

[languid spire]

we saw it when he first posted it a few hours ago

[swift crag]

ah

[polar acorn]

Where do you assign ghostData

[random cedar]

float movespeed = 5f
float xValue = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal") * Time.deltaTime * moveSpeed;
float zValue = Input.GetAxis("Vertical") * Time.deltaTime * moveSpeed;

transform.Translate(xValue,0,zValue);

[polar acorn]

Teleport-based movement doesn't play well with rigidbodies. If you want to teleport a rigidbody, you should get the target location and use MovePosition instead

[zealous geode]

Oh, let me show you, I was reaching the message typing limit, so I was trying to make it as short as possible.

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;

public class Enemy : MonoBehaviour
{
    public GhostInfo ghostData;
    // Start is called before the first frame update
    void Start()
    {

    }

    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update()
    {
        checkDeath();
    }

    void checkDeath()
    {
        ghostData.compareWord();
        Debug.Log(ghostData.isDead);
        if (ghostData.isDead == true)
        {
            Destroy(this.gameObject);
        }
    }
}

[frigid sequoia]

All the component assignement parameters have to be referenced manually in the inspector each time, which is... very inefficient considering I have to create like several dozens for these scripts. It is fine if I assing these references at awake or should I like... make an editor tool like a button to assing all of these in editor with just one press?

[shut spade]

for physics dont use transform.translate or trasnform.position

[polar acorn]

You could share it on a bin site in the future so it doesn't hit any limits. !code

So, you're dragging in an instance of your scriptable object to this object, right?

but the course i watch its used the same code but he use unity 2020 and me 2021.3

[polar acorn]

The version doesn't matter. Rigidbodies do not appreciate being moved by transform manipulation

[cosmic knot]

I see that there are way too many people here with problems so if anybody wants to help me, I'm willing to pay at this point. I've been stuck for the past 2 weeks and it's driving me insane

[zealous geode]

Exactly. The thing is that the boolean inside the ScriptableObject is always true from the start of the scene, where the input field is empty.

[random cedar]

so what should i use

[polar acorn]

Show the inspector of that scriptable object

bro i dont understand why you are so against helping like ive read through the docs to see how render textures & rawimages work and instead of actually helping, u say its ai code like ur forgetting this is the #💻┃code-beginner channel for beginners

[zealous geode]

It's true, but doesn't it change to false as I set it on false on the code?

Becuase if it doesn't, then this is the issue probably

[polar acorn]

Where do you set it to false

[zealous geode]

When I declare it on the ScriptableObject script. It's in one of my last messages

[zealous geode]

Here

[polar acorn]

You are setting the default value of IsDead to false

That is what value it's set to when you make a new SO

You never set it to false

[random cedar]

That make me confused idk how the same code work with other person that i watch her course 💀

[polar acorn]

Did they add a rigidbody to the object

[obtuse axle]

um hello, i have a question about jumps and running, I have a character in 3D that can jump and sprint, but when i jump while running, first the character doesn't keep its running momentum midair, and second i feel like when the character jumps while running, it doesn't jump as high as when im not running. Do you know why it does that? i can provide some screenshots if you need

[random cedar]

He add the rigidbody to a cube to not skip wall

[edgy prism]

Hello, I am trying to enable a UI gameobject with a singleton only problem is its never awake until I call Script.i.SetActive() so its it ok to assign i in start or should I use something like

static FishingUI()
{
    i = FindObjectOfType<FishingUI>();
}

[polar acorn]

Show the tutorial

[short hazel]

No, do not use any kind of constructor. Instead you can make i a property that finds the object the first time it's accessed.

private static FishingUI _i;

public static FishingUI I
{
    get
    {
        if (_i == null)
          _i = FindObjectOfType<FishingUI>();
        
        return _i;
    }
}

[edgy prism]

Ah ok brilliant thankyou, just so I know for future reference why shouldn't I be using a constructor instead?

[safe aspen]

Hey! anyone got any idea how I could restart Time.time when the scenemanager loads the scene?

[fierce shuttle]

There could be a few reasons for that, without seeing any code, my guess is that you may be overriding the velocity instead of adding onto it - what does your code look like? You can use !code to post your script

You literally cannot use a constructor for MonoBehaviours

[fierce shuttle]

Why might you need to do this?

[short hazel]

Unity manages the lifetime of these components, so they can get executed at unpredictable times, even while not in play mode.

After a compilation, when exiting play mode, etc.

[safe aspen]

well because the time isnt getting reset on the UI when the restart game button is clicked.

[edgy prism]

Oh shit so anywhere where im using the Awake function to assign my instance I should change it?

[safe aspen]

and i want it to go to 0*

[short hazel]

No you're good, Awake is not a constructor

[pallid nymph]

You can use Time.timeSinceLevelLoad (if you're not doing additive loading or something, I don't remember the rule), or you can just measure time yourself

[short hazel]

Constructors are public ClassNameHere() and static ClassNameHere(), notice that they don't have a return type like Awake does, it returns void

i know it's messy but im just discovering things here

[safe aspen]

    {
        Time.timeScale = 1;
        tryAgainButton.SetActive(true);
        gameEnd.SetActive(true);
    }

    public void RestartGame()
    {
        Time.timeScale = 2;
        SceneManager.LoadScene(0);
    }```

was trying smth and put Time.timeScale from 0 to 1 and the 2nd one to 2 and my player is running hella fast for some reason lol

[languid spire]

example

[short hazel]

If each value needs to be separated by a newline, you can join them with string.Join()

string joined = string.Join('\n', s1, s2, s3, s4);
// '\n' creates a newline

Else, you can use string concatenation or make an interpolated string to have more control over the format of your final string

[fierce shuttle]

a timeScale of 1 means 100% normal speed, so a value of 2 would be 200%, if your movement is based on time, it would make sense to move faster

[safe aspen]

well my movement shouldnt be based on time tbh lol

anyways, another problem i got is that the time starts from 1 and till it becomes 1, the ui for the time i got is blank.

    {
        if (Time.time >= 0)
        {
            timerText.text = Time.timeSinceLevelLoad.ToString("#,#");
        }
    }

    public void AddScore()
    {   
        scoreValue++;
        scoreText.text = scoreValue.ToString("#,#");
    }

    public void UpdateAmmoInfo(int currentBullets, int maxBullets)
    {
        ammoText.text = currentBullets + "/" + maxBullets;
    }

    public void OpenEndScreen()
    {
        Time.timeScale = 0;
        tryAgainButton.SetActive(true);
        gameEnd.SetActive(true);
    }

    public void RestartGame()
    {
        Time.timeScale = 1;
        SceneManager.LoadScene(0);
    }```

anything i might be missing?

btw Time.time >= was to 1, just changed it

[fierce shuttle]

Im not too familiar with CharacterController as I usually use Rigidbody more, though I believe the general rules still apply, you would probably want to only apply Move once at the end, after all your calculations, and modify a Vector3 that represents your current movement direction and jump/gravity velocity, you also would normally want to apply deltaTime only once as well, this tutorial may help with implementing a jump and gravity, although the example is in 2D, since up/down is the same in both 2D and 3D (y-axis), the logic should work the same: https://gamedevbeginner.com/how-to-jump-in-unity-with-or-without-physics/

It also looks like your changing the position of your transform and also trying to set Move, you would normally want to do one or the other, depending if you want your movement to respect physics (using the CharacterControlllers "Move" func) or not (setting the transform position)

[fierce shuttle]

You probably dont need that if-statement at all, you could just update your text every frame, since timeSinceLevelLoad will handle a 0 condition if the level is not loaded yet

[safe aspen]

true, removed it

but still, time starts showing blank then 1

idk why it doesnt show 0 on restart

a line is a line

[slender nymph]

you should consider using better names for your variables, as they are now they don't currently convey what they are supposed to be for. also any time you find yourself using numbered variables you should be using a collection like an array or list

[frigid flume]

they mean something in french but yes list would have been better

[buoyant knot]

bfa6 means nothing in any language

[frigid flume]

is it a good idea to export my project as apk before it is finished, to show to friends for example ?

[frigid flume]

its the button assigned to the fa6 bool

[low path]

your UI should modify underlying settings data. when you open it up, it should check the state of that data and set its own fields based on that data.

[slender nymph]

you would need to show code. but you should be loading your saved setting in Awake and assigning it to the sliders when loaded

[frigid flume]

yes i know don't worry i'm just happy everything works fine

[buoyant knot]

am I fair to style police here? because I feel like this man is going off the deep end

[low path]

separate the UI from the state it represents.

[fierce shuttle]

That is a bit odd, it should show 0 by default after the first frame is complete, though I guess you could hardcode 0 in

[acoustic crow]

so I should do 2 canvases and not all in one?

[low path]

2 canvases?

[buoyant knot]

multiple canvases is good

[low path]

well... i don't think that's the issue though...

the issue is that they need some data structure like a don't destroy on load manager that stores settings state.

[buoyant knot]

whenever any one element in a canvas changes, unity needs to effectively redraw the entire thing from scratch. So it is generally good to have multiple canvases, especially if you have one part of your canvas constantly animating

[low path]

and then the UI should refer to that thing and set itself based on that, and control that data based on user manipulations of the UI

[frigid flume]

i am a complete noob but could'nt you use playerprefs ?

[buoyant knot]

playerprefs is the devil

[frigid flume]

no

[safe aspen]

idk, it just skips 0 by making it just show blank and after that goes to 1. anyways, ill find a way to fix it i suppose lol

thats the code for it btw:
timerText.text = Time.timeSinceLevelLoad.ToString("#,#");

[buoyant knot]

counterpoint: yes

[low path]

the "cleanest" way is probably to use like a text file that you read and write, if you want to preserve the values across sessions.

[frigid flume]

then json maybe (my knowledge ends here)

[buoyant knot]

playerprefs saves things to your registry. even if you uninstall, whatever you wrote stays there.

[frigid flume]

is it bad to export project as .apk before finished ? is it the way updates are done, juste replace the old .apk by a new .apk ?

[buoyant rune]

tryna click the drop down icon for the animation but literally nothing happeneing???

[buoyant knot]

so if you are KerbalSpaceProgram, and store a level file of several GB to playerprefs, and later uninstal KSP, KSP might still be taking many GB of data on your computer

[frigid flume]

make the app so good no ones wants to uninstall it

[low path]

do you have the gameobject you want to animate selected?

[buoyant rune]

oh thakns

[timber comet]

How can I add an event for when a Button is selected so I don’t check for that every frame?

[rich adder]

https://docs.unity3d.com/530/Documentation/ScriptReference/UI.Selectable.OnSelect.html

[timber comet]

Does this works if my script is not attached to my buttons?

[rich adder]

I don't think so no

[timber comet]

‘Cause I use only one script for managing my ui, which is attached to the canvas

[rich adder]

nothing wrong with sending events from a ui child object to a main UI manager

[timber comet]

K tysm

[acoustic crow]

Can someone help me? If I set my options canvas to 0, I can open the option menu but nothing can be clicked. If I set it to 1, I can close it but the sliders won't move

as info the mainmenucanvas is at 0

and the loading screen to 1

Everything works in the world but not in the main menu

but why

[slender nymph]

this is a code channel. perhaps you want to ask in #📲┃ui-ux

[final kestrel]

I still have to invoke the UnityEvent someplace in my code right?

I invoke then I choose what to react in my inspector

[tender stag]

lets say i have a variable called maxSpeed, how do i only add enough force to reach that speed
rb.AddForce(slopeMoveDirection.normalized * );

[low path]

just add the force and in update, limit your velocity to max speed

[tender stag]

cant do that

cant directly set or change velocity

[tender stag]

and i also wanna implement acceleration

which is how fast the force gets added

[low path]

the game already implements acceleration

f=ma

[lofty sequoia]

Getting an issue where it appears like I'm being given access in the inspector to a parent's member despite it being private (but SerializeField is interfering?)
MyParentClass
private List<int> _myPrivateList;

MyChildClass : MyParentClass
private List<int> _myPrivateList; // specific to ChildClass, not overriding

The inspector shows 2 fields for My Private List

[SerializeField] is exposing a private member to child classes via the inspector

[slender nymph]

private members are still part of child classes, they just cannot be accessed or modified by those children

[frigid sequoia]

Shouldn't this be working? Is there any step I am missing? Cause the CustomEditor Tags are not being colored and the console is showing this error

[slender nymph]

configure your !IDE

[tender stag]

so just lower the mass?

[low path]

i think if you want to add enough force to achieve a certain velocity, the forcemode.velocitychange will do that, instantly

[frigid flume]

hello, there is a thing that i do beause i've seen tutos guys do it but i don't understand why.
Why do they always create an emptyobject, attach a script to it, then attach the emptyobject to a button, instead of attaching the script to the button directly ?

[low path]

do you instead want a velocity cap?

[tender stag]

i want to limit the player speed

but i cannot directly clamp the magnitude

[slender nymph]

https://unity.huh.how/unity-events/incorrect-assignment

[tender stag]

or set or change the velocity

[frigid flume]

ok thanks so it's just like that ^^

[lofty sequoia]

Yeah but I can access and modify the private child member using an instance of the child class. SerializeField is allowing me to add/remove/edit elements of that private member through the child instance.

[slender nymph]

serializing values is not the same thing as being able to access and modify the private members in the code

[lofty sequoia]

Ok, so should I treat those members as protected basically?

[slender nymph]

that private member is still part of that class, as i pointed out. it's just not accessible within the code because it is not exposed to that class

[low path]

why can't you directly set or change the velocity?

[lofty sequoia]

Protected from the perspective of the inspector? I know in code it still works normally

[slender nymph]

so you know how you can serialize a private variable despite it not being exposed to other classes? it's literally the exact same concept here

[lofty sequoia]

Oh gotcha, that makes sense

[uneven oriole]

Can anyone help me, im trying to make a game and I need to change a variable when two gameobjects colide with eachother. I've attatched the code

[slender nymph]

why did you declare OnCollisionEnter inside of OnCollisionEnter

[uneven oriole]

ehm

i didnt even realise

[polar acorn]

no its not

[slender nymph]

go through this https://unity.huh.how/physics-messages

[frigid flume]

i added the scenes in the build earlier

[polar acorn]

You do still have extra curly braces but those don't actually matter.

The Three Commandments of OnCollisionEnter:

1. Thou Shalt have a 3D Collider on each object
2. Thou Shalt not tick isTrigger on either
3. Thou Shalt have a 3D Rigidbody on at least one of them

[polar acorn]

Jesus christ just make a function that takes a string

Why do you have so many functions

[frigid flume]

i love writing

[uneven oriole]

well i have a 2d project so i have 2d colliders on both and I've done 2 and 3

[frigid flume]

you know why i am making this script ? i had a different script for each scene at start

[polar acorn]

Then why are you using the 3D function

[polar acorn]

Make a function that takes a string, remove every other function and every string parameter and just put the string in the button function

[frigid flume]

but why can't my scenes loads correctly

[uneven oriole]

what do you mean? is the OnCollisionEnter specificly for 3d projects?

[polar acorn]

yes

[eternal needle]

The error tells you why

[polar acorn]

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/MonoBehaviour.OnCollisionEnter2D.html

[slender nymph]

because one or more of your variables is not assigned to. and you do not have a scene that has no name in your build settings

[slender nymph]

did you not bother going through the link i sent?

[uneven oriole]

Im doing it now

[brazen canyon]

Hey guys
Does Static make a class accessible from other classes even though they're not in a same GO ?

[polar acorn]

Because it cannot load scene due to invalid scene name (empty string) or invalid build index -1

[slender nymph]

no, that's what the public access modifier is for

[polar acorn]

Static makes a variable belong to the class rather than any specific instance of the class

[eternal needle]

On top of what the others said, the keyword static (and other keywords like public private etc) have nothing to do with unity. There is no knowledge of being on a gameobject here

[uneven oriole]

thank you, it works now

[brazen canyon]

public access modifier ?

[frigid flume]

ok that's why x)

[slender nymph]

there are beginner c# courses pinned in this channel. you should start there

[polar acorn]

Now that you have identified the problem get rid of them so this doesn't happen again

[frigid flume]

i'll try my best

i'll let you know

[acoustic crow]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hh1trmMO8zo!

does anyone know what's going on here?

[low path]

code please

[frigid flume]

why do i do from here

i can't convert Button to String

[acoustic crow]

i need a script that a slider working?

[low path]

do you not have any scripts?

[acoustic crow]

i havit a uicontroll for that

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.UI;

public class UIController : MonoBehaviour
{
    
    
    public Slider _musicSlider, _sfxSlider;
    
    public void ToggleMusic()
    {
        AudioManager.Instance.ToggleMusic();

    }
    public void ToggleSFX()
    {
        AudioManager.Instance.ToggleSFX();

    }
    public void MusicVolume()
    {
        AudioManager.Instance.MusicVolume(_musicSlider.value);

    }
    public void SFXVolume()
    {
        AudioManager.Instance.SFXVolume(_sfxSlider.value);
    }
}

I'm desperate

[frigid flume]

i don't know how i could do without definying a function per button, since i have 9 buttons that haves to load a different scene each

[polar acorn]

Why do you have all of those button variables and why does your function take a button as a parameter

[frigid flume]

it was a bad ida but anyways i can't figure it out

[polar acorn]

Literally just make a function that takes a string and changes to that scene. That is all that needs to be in the script

Call that function on your button. Pass in the string.

[frigid flume]

but where do the string cames from

how do i define which button calls which string

[polar acorn]

you type it in

when you set the function on your button

[swift crag]

A UnityEvent can pass a constant value to your function.

(for certain types, at least)

[frigid flume]

so this is enought ?

[swift crag]

ints, floats, and strings for sure

[polar acorn]

Looks like you have code setting the slider's value

[fading rapids]

can someone help me in Unity talk

its not a code problem tho

[polar acorn]

Yes now get rid of all of those string variables

[polar acorn]

then why ask about it here

[frigid flume]

well i didn't knew i could add a parameter identificator to a button

my script gone from 50 lines to 5

[polar acorn]

yes that's why the original was so apalling

[frigid flume]

at least a beginner coudl understand how it worked if he didn't knew a parameter could be added to a gameobject '-'

the new script is not beginner friendly

[tender stag]

Fixed Update rb.AddForce(slopeMoveDirection.normalized * acceleration);

Update ```Vector3 flatVelocity = new Vector3(rb.velocity.x, 0, rb.velocity.z);

if(flatVelocity.magnitude > moveSpeed)
{
Vector3 limitedVelocity = flatVelocity.normalized * moveSpeed;
rb.velocity = new Vector3(limitedVelocity.x, rb.velocity.y, limitedVelocity.z);
}```

the thing in update is limiting the velocity, but its not setting the new velocity in the correct direction, which would be slopeMoveDirection

[swift crag]

let's make sure we're both on the same page about what this is

onClick is a Unity Event

[tender stag]

i think its just straight

[swift crag]

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Events.UnityEvent.html

UnityEvent lets you set up callbacks in the inspector.

A "callback" being a function that you call when something happens, basically

[polar acorn]

You are specifically flattening the velocity. You even call it "flatVelocity"

[frigid flume]

i don't know how to call these i "learned" in french :)

[polar acorn]

If you don't want to flatten your velocity, why are you going out of your way to do it

[frigid flume]

we're both on the same page

[tender stag]

so that it doesnt take the y velocity into the calculation

[swift crag]

ah, that can make it tricky (:

sounds good; i think you've got it!

[polar acorn]

So you don't want any Y velocity

[frigid flume]

thanks for your help ^^ (even if it gave me more work)

[tender stag]

i've got this now but i cant jump

{
    rb.velocity = rb.velocity.normalized * moveSpeed;
}```

this also works

but it makes my character bounce

when walking up slopes

im not sure why

let me send a video

[tender stag]

this video is with this

[lost anvil]

how would i go about making an inventory script to simply hold my picked up gameobjects in an array and scrolling down or up equips them?
ive looked around for about 15 mins but couldnt find anything

[tender stag]

and this video is with this

but here i cant jump

anyone?

[tender stag]

i need this but without limiting the y velocity

[tender stag]

also its still bouncing

why

[polar acorn]

Pretty sure you're gonna need to do some math. You can get the non-jumping part of your velocity with ProjectOnPlane using your slope normal. Then you can see how much greater your projected velocity is than your max speed. You want a vector with that difference as the magnitude, but in the opposite direction to your projected velocity. Then you add that vector to your original velocity, and you'll have slowed down your projected velocity enough that you're kept in your speed range

[tender stag]

i already have the slope normal thing

slopeMoveDirection = Vector3.ProjectOnPlane(moveDirection, slopeHit.normal);```

[polar acorn]

So then you just need to do the second half of that. Where you get the "counter-force" vector and add that to your original velocity

Also that slope move direction is not your current velocity, that's just the direction

You specifically want the velocity vector projected on the plane, magnitude and all

[lost anvil]

any help on this one?

[tender stag]

simplest way, have a holder on your player, where you have all the models of the items (the items which the player will see in his hand), make a script, just have an integer in there called ID, attach this script to the model in the players hands and on the object in the world, make them have the same id, and when you pick the object up with a raycast just disable the ground object so you cant see it since you picked it up, add the object to the items array, have another array of all the possible items (the items in players hands), and then just scroll through the items you have in the inventory and compare id's with the other array

[rich adder]

use a float value to clamp then use that in Quaternion.euler

[tender stag]

i know you explained it but could you help me out

im so lost

[rich adder]

https://forum.unity.com/threads/object-rotation-clamping.922145/

[polar acorn]

1. Use ProjectOnPlane to get the current velocity projected on the slope
2. Check if that vector's magnitude is greater than your max move speed
3. If it is, subtract the max move speed from that magnitude
4. Create a vector of that length, in the opposite direction of your projected vector
5. Add that resulting vector to your original velocity

[tender stag]

am i doing it correctly so far?```cs
Vector3 slopeVelocity = Vector3.ProjectOnPlane(rb.velocity, slopeHit.normal);

if(slopeVelocity.magnitude > moveSpeed)
{

}```

[polar acorn]

That's steps 1 and 2 so far

[tender stag]

yeah i know

im not sure what the error means

[polar acorn]

You aren't doing anything with the result

[tender stag]

do i store it as a float?

[polar acorn]

Is it a float

[tender stag]

well yeah

magnitude

[polar acorn]

then it would indeed make sense to store it in a float

[dusky dirge]

hello! I'm getting this error after ive added, then disabled, and removed a script. I've tried reimporting everything, cleaning my cache, restarting unity editor + my PC, and I am yet to find a fix. This is happening both when I run the game, and in the editor.

error: TLS Allocator ALLOC_TEMP_TLS, underlying allocator ALLOC_TEMP_MAIN has unfreed allocations, size 208
log: Allocation of 38 bytes at 0000020790500110

EDIT: I FOUND A FIX

update: just had to update my Unity version LOL

[tender stag]

i dont understand step 4

[polar acorn]

Do you know how to get the direction of a vector

[tender stag]

not sure

[polar acorn]

slopeVelocity isn't a direction, it's a full vector

The direction of a vector is that vector normalized

That's the direction you want to use. The magnitude is the difference between your magnitude and your max speed

A vector is a direction times a magnitude

[tender stag]

so like this?

[frigid sequoia]

For reals, what am I doing wrong? Why is this not working? This is not overriding the Editor at all it isn't getting the reference to the Editor class to begin with and I don't know why

[polar acorn]

yes

[polar acorn]

Do you have any errors

[frigid sequoia]

Previuosly, yes; not anymore, the console is clear

[jaunty heath]

id suggest to use proper variable names, "o" and "a" are quite nothing saying, does not help with readability

[tender stag]

yeah i'll change them in a minute

im gonna read and try to understand more of what it does

[polar acorn]

so what's the issue

[tender stag]

Vector3 o = -slopeVelocity.normalized * a;

rb.velocity = rb.velocity + o;```

[polar acorn]

Yep that should do it

[tender stag]

i dont feel like i've done the last step right

oh i did

[frigid sequoia]

That this is not doing anything, and all those calls to the Editor should be bolded

[polar acorn]

Show the inspector of a GeneralPowerUpLogic script in the inspector

[tender stag]

when im on a slope and i jump now the jumps are weird

[polar acorn]

as to the highlighting, it's probably a misconfigured !ide

[eternal falcon]

[frigid sequoia]

Like look at the class declaration, "Editor" white which I assume means it is not finding anything with that name

[tender stag]

sometimes i jump higher and sometimes lower

[polar acorn]

Do your jumps take you straight up or do they jump you away from the slope

[tender stag]

and on flat ground

[tender stag]

they take me away

i want them to be straight

[polar acorn]

Once you're no longer touching the slope, you should no longer be using the slope's normal but Vector3.up for this calculation

Since you're no longer standing on angled ground

[frigid sequoia]

This inherit from it, shouldn't it show?

[polar acorn]

I don't actually know. Try changing it to this script specifically and see if it shows up then.

#↕️┃editor-extensions might know more about what's going wrong if this doesn't work

[frigid sequoia]

Oh, it does show here actually

Do I really have to declare all the child script? That would be ridicolous

[polar acorn]

So it looks like it doesn't affect child classes. There might be a way to do that but I don't know it

[pallid nymph]

You need to pass some param to the CustomEditor attribute if I recall correctly

[tender stag]

the thing is im always going to be on a slope

my terrain is going to be curved

[polar acorn]

Not when you're in the air

[sly wasp]

Hello
https://pastebin.com/rcu9LVQy
I have a script here that adjusts the UV of a white vertex color on the mesh (I have the mesh as one object to save resources, making the eyes white in the vertex color helps the script target which part)
The only problem is that it scrolls on the UV weirdly on the eye instead of tracking the bone

[tender stag]

like that

right?

he still jumps randomly

[polar acorn]

Seems like it

[polar acorn]

That's all I got

[tender stag]

alright

[polar acorn]

This looks pretty normal to me

especially if your jumps are away from the ground instead of straight up

[frigid sequoia]

Oh, it just needs to add a bool in the declaration to affect the children; it would have know if sooner if it wasn't cause vs decides to not identify the Editor

Thxs

[tender stag]

thing is this works perfect, i just cant jump

[sterile moon]

I'm trying to figure out how to get the layer system for the camera to work to make it look like carried objects are not clipping, but I use URP so I dont see how its doable

[night mural]

Cause y velocity is included in those calculations, so it's clamping your vertical velocity too. You probably want to clamp x/z movement only

[night mural]

urp can stack cameras, no? https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.render-pipelines.universal@17.0/manual/camera-stacking.html

[frigid sequoia]

I cannot like... attach a variable to a string in the inspector like this right?

[tender stag]

but then this happens
#💻┃code-beginner message

that was with this bit of code

im not sure why my character was bouncing

when walking up a slope

[frigid sequoia]

It always does by default on slopes

You have to send a Raycast down and detect the normal of the slope and change the force vector to work on that direction

[tender stag]

i have that

thats what slopeMoveDirection is

[frigid sequoia]

If slopes are not neccesary I would HIGHLY encourage you to avoid them

[tender stag]

thing is i have 90% of them done

[frigid sequoia]

Do you not bounce in the other slopes?

[tender stag]

since i switched my method of clamping the speed

its been happening

[frigid sequoia]

I think you are just trying to clamp velocity in the object axises, while the force is been applied in the normal vector

I mean, I would clamp the speed overall and then, in the next step ,add the Y axis force that doesn't need to be clamped for the jump

[teal viper]

Well, yeah. This will keep your y velocity same as when you were grounded, i.e. 0. So if you move down the slope it will make you bounce.
