Oh.. good (way)point ! ( pun intented )

[polar acorn]

But you don't actually know what piece is so log the values of it

Stop assuming

check

[queen adder]

i know vim is good and all but i REAAALLY need that code parsing to tell me what errors i have

hence why i stopped using code

[summer stump]

It has that. But I was joking.
Well, VS Code has that too haha

[noble forum]

Kk, im away from pc now, ill check in the morning, thx

[queen adder]

vim does????????????

oh wow pretty based text editor tbh

see though vs code's syntax error parsing is broken when you connect it to unity

some people here actually told me i had to make the switch or else they would deny me help

since they didnt want to help me every 3 seconds about something i couldve easily fixed with the error parsing fixed

[summer stump]

Huh, must be a linux thing? Because it definitely has it for me

!vscode

Visual Studio Code guide

If your IDE is not underlining errors in red or autocompleting code,
please configure it using the link below:

https://on.unity.com/vscode

[summer stump]

Make sure this has been followed 🤷‍♂️

[slender nymph]

yes, you are required to have a configured IDE in order to receive help here

[summer stump]

👆 and that goes for rider, VS, and VSCode.
Any of them can be unconfigured

But tbh, vscode usually breaks the most.

[queen adder]

yeah i was advised to not use vscode because it has broken configuration

[summer stump]

Welp, you were given the options.
VS, VSCode, and Rider are the main choices. Check out which work for you.
Good luck!

[queen adder]

i guess i'll see if rider works

[uneven oriole]

I'm having an issue with some variables and the way that theyre showing up. I'm making a game where a ball (tag: CashTrigger) bounces off a platform (also tag: CashTrigger) to give you cash to buy upgrades. I have setup the debug log for detecting collisions and it sais they work just fine. here is the code: https://hastebin.com/share/idutegeboc.csharp I hope someone can help me out

[polar acorn]

What are you expecting to happen that isn't happening

[uneven oriole]

so in the debug log it sais that the CashAmount isn't updating. I think thats cousing some of my other issues so I want to get that fixed first

[polar acorn]

If you're getting the "Collision Detected!" log, and CashAmount isn't changing, then it'd be reasonable to assume that CashPerBounce is zero. Try logging the values of CashAmount and CashPerBounce instead of just words

[uneven oriole]

but I have ''CashPerBounce'' set to 10 '' public int CashPerBounce = 10;''

[polar acorn]

Are you sure

Log it

[uneven oriole]

yea it shows in the log as well

[polar acorn]

What did you log, and what does the log say?

The code and the result

[uneven oriole]

this is the code:

private void OnCollisionEnter2D(Collision2D collision)
{
    // Check if both colliding objects have the tag "CashTrigger"
    if (gameObject.CompareTag("CashTrigger") && collision.gameObject.CompareTag("CashTrigger"))
    {
        Debug.Log("CashPerBounce = " + CashPerBounce);
        // Increase CashAmount by CashPerBounce whenever a collision occurs
        CashAmount += CashPerBounce;
        Debug.Log("Collision detected!");

        // Update the text component with the new CashAmount
        UpdateText();

        // Convert CashAmount to a string and update the text component
        text.text = CashAmount.ToString();
    }
}

CashPerBounce = 10

[uneven oriole]

thats the result

[polar acorn]

Change the collision detected log to this:

Debug.Log($"Collision between {gameObject.name} and {collision.gameObject.name}, CashAmount is {CashAmount}, per bounce is {CashPerBounce}");

That'll give you a lot more information

[uneven oriole]

ill test it

[nocturne wedge]

Im looking for a good free C# course, does anyone have any suggestions ?

[uneven oriole]

yea so now im getting this: Collision between Platform and Circle(Clone), CashAmount is 20, per bounce is 10

[polar acorn]

And if you bounce on that same object again, does CashAmount go up

[uneven oriole]

yes CashAmount goes up

[polar acorn]

So it's working

[uneven oriole]

yea just this code isnt: Debug.Log("Total Cash Amount: " + CashAmount);

that just stays on 0

but thats fine i guess

[polar acorn]

Are you sure that you're looking at the same Cash_Managers in both cases

and that you're not setting it to 0 somewhere else

[uneven oriole]

you mean the same script?

[polar acorn]

Yes, each instance of Cash_Manager has their own CashAmount

[uneven oriole]

ah yes i fixed it now I had an object in my hierarchy that had the script on it

thank u very much

[sly wasp]

Hi I'm using face.material.SetTextureOffset
This works great for an instance, but how would I get the second material of the face instead of the first one? The face is a renderer object

[slender nymph]

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Renderer.html
check the docs to see if there are any methods or properties that could give you the materials

[arctic ibex]

So, about that second bit, what do you mean a physically compatible way?

Nvm sorry i figgured it out

[quick kelp]

making text printing script was following along with a tut cause im good at coding ui yet.
the last half of the code was cut off and im pretty much trying to fill in the blanks

[slender nymph]

start by configuring your !IDE 👇

[eternal falcon]

💡 IDE Configuration

If your IDE is not autocompleting code
or underlining errors, please configure it.

Select one:

• Visual Studio (Installed via Unity Hub)
• Visual Studio (Installed manually)
• VS Code
• JetBrains Rider
• Other/None

[whole idol]

Do you have to set up and configure Unity and Vsc everytime ? Because I did configure it but it gets undone again everytime somehow

[summer stump]

Only once per project at most
But VS Code has issues sometimes

[swift crag]

what gets "undone"?

[sly wasp]

I'm using face.material.SetTextureOffset
This works great for an instance, how would I make the face."material" part a reference to something like public Material myMaterial ?

[swift crag]

what is face?

[sly wasp]

Face is a renderer object
Forgot to mention that

[swift crag]

The material property of a Renderer creates an instance of the material that's unique to the renderer

sharedMaterial doesn't do this

Note that, if the material is an asset, you'll be modifying the asset

which creates annoying version control churn and means you're messing with project files every time you run the game

What you can do is assign myMaterial to all of the renderers that you want that material to be used by

[sly wasp]

So how would I target which material to make an instance of?

[swift crag]

here's how I'd do it:

[SerializeField] List<Renderer> renderers;
[SerializeField] Material templateMaterial;
[SerializeField] Material instanceMaterial;

void Awake() {
  instanceMaterial = Instantiate(templateMaterial);

  foreach (var renderer in renderers)
    renderer.material = instanceMaterial;
}

void OnDestroy() {
  Destroy(instanceMaterial);
}

then mess with instanceMaterial

[sly wasp]

Ohh ok

I’ll try that

[swift crag]

One thing I'm now less sure about is whether assigning to material will wind up creating new instances of the material

If changing instanceMaterial doesn't do anything to the renderers, then you probably just need to assign to sharedMaterial instead of material

This function automatically instantiates the materials and makes them unique to this renderer. It is your responsibility to destroy the materials when the game object is being destroyed.

oops

i've been very bad about that

[slender nymph]

i think just setting the material is fine. That happens entirely in native code
https://github.com/Unity-Technologies/UnityCsReference/blob/2a49d60b87de8036523dcedcbae97398f64f5fb8/Runtime/Export/Graphics/GraphicsRenderers.bindings.cs#L171

[vale karma]

hello my noble tutors

[sly wasp]

huh

[vale karma]

if i wanted to paste multiple scripts on one link is there a better way than copy pasting every script?

i finished my heirarchical movement state machine and wanted some feedback on if it could be optimized any better

[sly wasp]

I think it was a mistake with the materials

I think it was a mistake with the materials

[slender nymph]

how would you share multiple scripts without copy/pasting each of them? 🤔

[teal viper]

Before that, did you confirm that there is a need for optimization?

[vale karma]

like under eachother, instead of like tabs

[slender nymph]

you can use multiple links or a site that allows multiple tabs

[vale karma]

i can confirm that there is absolutely no need for optimization XD

I literally just have movement set up and a full blown state machine error free haha

[teal viper]

You can share multiple classes in the same link.

[vale karma]

ill try, its allot tho

[slender nymph]

all as one single paste document though is usually a bad idea because it makes it an absolute pain to read

there are plenty of sites that allow you to paste multiple documents in the same link though, i personally use paste.mod.gg

[vale karma]

ooo i like this one

https://paste.mod.gg/kljkmwrhevhh/0

https://paste.mod.gg/dtabbtjhwwfh/3

thats a nice site, ill use that now, i like the tab feature

[teal viper]

Somehow it fails to work properly on mobile

[queen adder]

@vale karma You just want optimization tips?

[teal viper]

To be fair, that state machine kinda violates the state machine pattern.

// Player Movement Script
    private ReadInput input;
    private CameraPOV playerCamera;
    public CapsuleCollider capsule;
    public LayerMask groundedLayers;
    public Collider[] groundedResults = new Collider[10];
    public Rigidbody rb;
    [SerializeField] Transform orientation;
    public Transform groundCheckSphere;

    protected Vector3 direction;
    protected Quaternion playerRotation;

    // Input System Script
    public Vector2 MoveAction { get; private set; }
    public bool IsMovePressed { get; private set; }
    public bool JumpAction { get; private set; }
    public bool CrouchAction { get; private set; }
    public bool SprintAction { get; private set; }
    public bool EnableAction { get; private set; }

All of this stuff, the state machine itself shouldn't be dealing with or have access to

[vale karma]

Im not sure, i followed iheartgamedev and his stuff, i didnt like how he put all if it in a statemachine script too

I had it factored into their own scripts, but to make it more simple to follow i put it all in one

[teal viper]

Bad tutorial 🤷‍♂️

[vale karma]

i agree, but its the only "well made" tutorial about it

he has 4 tutorials each going over his bandaids in the last one

[teal viper]

I mean, if it works for you and you don't want to rewrite it, what's the point of asking for feedback?

Because looking at it now, it's gonna be a lot of refactoring if you want to make it right.

[mystic star]

does the addressable got abandoned?
trying to chat there but there seems to be no reply

[vale karma]

i still have the original scripts in tact. I will look into refactoring it back to what it was. and no this was helpful. I was seeing it so much i didnt notice the elephant there anymore

[teal viper]

I don't think so..? Chat where did you try chatting?

[mystic star]

the addressables channel of course

[teal viper]

Ah, well, how is it related to "being abandoned"?

It just means that not many people sit in that channel. Anything else is a guess and speculation.

[vernal plume]

im trying out photon based on a tutorial and when i connect and load into a room that puts me onto a scene, all my shadows are super dark, is there a reason for this?

[teal viper]

Probably don't have lighting settings generated for the scene. Also not a coding question.

[vernal plume]

i was suspecting it to be related to a load command

[teal viper]

Then share the code

[mystic star]

i thought since this is the official unity server they will at least take a look at their channels or something
if you take a look at the channel there is only people asking questions but without getting much of a reply about how to fix their problem
maybe i asked in the wrong place?

[teal viper]

This is the official community server. Unity staff responds very rarely and they don't have an obligation to do so. If you want a response from unity staff, you might have better chances on the forums.

[vale karma]

i did just run into an issue trying to make the player collider hieght get divided by 2 when he crouches, I got it working but if you jump and crouch it now moves the collider down permanently

[teal viper]

I guess there's just not many people using the addressables actively and being active on the discord. I for one have barely used them.

[mystic star]

hmm okay
thanks anyway

[teal viper]

The last few questions in the addressables channel are very specific and unless someone was dealing with a similar issue recently, they probably wouldn't get a reply. Your best bet is to google and research the topic yourself.

[faint sluice]

Probably didn't reset the height properly or in correct place, send code block where you set height of your collider?

[mystic star]

well i tried addressable and just want to know a simple thing on how to load from remote path (cloud server) but there seems to be no clear guide on how to do it
the documentation also very vague and searching on google bring about the same result

[unreal imp]

Guys, how do I always stop using the ammo and not the clip when the player tries to reload? The ammunition is only spent reloading the clip and the clip is only spent shooting, here is an example of the error``` private void Update()
{
if (gameObject)
{
if (currentAmmo > 0 && currentClipAmmo <= 0)
{
StartCoroutine(Reload());
}
if (currentAmmo > 0 && gunAnimator.GetBool("OutOfAmmo"))
{
StartCoroutine(UnFreezeAnim());
}
if (currentClipAmmo > 0 && gunAnimator.GetBool("OutOfAmmo"))
{
gunAnimator.SetBool("OutOfAmmo", false);
}
if (Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0) && currentClipAmmo > 0 && !isCooldown && !gunAnimator.GetBool("OutOfAmmo"))
{
StartCoroutine(Shoot());
StartCoroutine(BulletCartridgeEffect());
}
if (currentClipAmmo <= 0 && !gunAnimator.GetBool("OutOfAmmo"))
{
// gunAnimator.SetBool("IsReloading", true);
gunAnimator.SetBool("OutOfAmmo", true);
}
if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.R))
{
StartCoroutine(Reload());
}
}
}
public IEnumerator Reload()
{

    //gunAnimator.SetTrigger("Reloading");
    //isCooldown = true;
    yield return new WaitForSeconds(0.8f);
        int reloadAmount = maxClipAmmo - currentClipAmmo;
        reloadAmount = (currentAmmo - reloadAmount) >= 0 ? reloadAmount : currentAmmo;
        currentClipAmmo += reloadAmount;
        currentAmmo -= reloadAmount;
        ammoText.text = currentAmmo.ToString();
        ammoClipText.text = currentClipAmmo.ToString();
    /*isCooldown = true;
    if (currentClipAmmo == maxClipAmmo)
    {
        isCooldown = false;
    }*/
    //isCooldown = false;
}```

the ammo is the small number and the big one the clip

[teal viper]

I see there's a page called "Change resource urls" in the docs, which seems to be related to your question.

[mystic star]

yes that one is what i called a vague explanation

[vale karma]

im having trouble getting the player to not be able to jump until you let go of the jump key and press it again. atm its just jumping continuously once it is grounded. I tried using WasPressedThisFrame but it shows red underline under it

JumpAction is currently read as a button

[queen adder]

Please share code @vale karma

JumpAction.WasPressedThisFrame doesnt work basically. Atm i have public void OnJump(InputAction.CallbackContext context) { JumpAction = context.ReadValueAsButton();

https://paste.ofcode.org/395kYeJ2Cev6hFhEu8PaafP

any way that i try to add waspressedthisframe gives me an error. I forgot how ive called it before... idk what im doing wrong here

[queen adder]

What function controls jumping?

What's the error say

[vale karma]

https://paste.ofcode.org/39zfp5fVKF3mzD5cCUTRREM

'type' does not contain a definition for 'name' and no accessible extension method 'name' accepting a first argument of type 'type' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?).

[queen adder]

I need to see the Basestate class again

Idk the type of Ctx

[cosmic dagger]

What is Ctx?

You don't have a parameter variable named that in the method signature . . .

[vale karma]

long story short its apart of the tutorial to refer to the other scripts ig

[cosmic dagger]

That's doesn't make sense . . .

[vale karma]

i half heartedly know what this stuff does haha, i know how to use it but not exactly what each part does

[cosmic dagger]

The code links don't work for me . . .

We kinda need to see the variable declaration to understand what type Ctx is . . .

[queen adder]

We need the Basestate and the substate (jump) classss

[frigid sequoia]

Can I... just not use Lists in a Editor tool?

[teal viper]

You can. Make sure you have the correct usings.

[cosmic dagger]

Care to share the error? That might help . . .

What does the error say? It should explain the problem . . .

[frigid sequoia]

It is in spanish... so if anyone is wondering is something like "non-generic List type cannot be used with arguments of type "

[teal viper]

Share your usings

[cosmic dagger]

As dlich stated, it looks like you are missing a using statement . . .

You're missing the generic using . . .

[teal viper]

Is that all?

[frigid sequoia]

Yep, I am missing one?

[teal viper]

Though, where does the List come from then?

I thought they had the visual scripting namespace, since they had List too

[cosmic dagger]

You should be able to click the light bulb on that line for quick fixes . . .

[frigid sequoia]

I though List where just from System.Collections

[cosmic dagger]

Not the generic version . . .

[frigid sequoia]

Ok, it was just missing this for some reason...

[cosmic dagger]

I know, that's what I said. The generic using statement . . .

[frigid sequoia]

I really don't undertand this stuff, doesn't System.Collections already include System.Collection.Generic?

[noble forum]

ok i did

[cosmic dagger]

No, that's why they are two separate. If that were the case, you wouldn't have the error . . .

[noble forum]

so it is what happends with working code

[teal viper]

If you put a file named List in a System/Collections/Generic path, would you be able to find it in System/Collections folder?

[frigid sequoia]

Why would you create a different folder for that though?

[queen adder]

They contain different stuff

[teal viper]

You wouldn't. Whoever designed dotnet did. As for the reasons, it's because List is a generic collection. There are non generic collections in the Collections namespace.

To put it simple: to keep things ordered and organized.

[frigid sequoia]

Well okay, thxs

[noble forum]

and this is what happends with not working one

here i put the codes

without debug.log

{
    TakePiece(piece);
    Queen.SetActive(true);
    Bishop.SetActive(true);
    Knight.SetActive(true);
    Rook.SetActive(true);
    Debug.Log(piece.occupiedSquare);
    Debug.Log(piece.team);
    if (QueenPromote)
    {
        chessController.CreatePieceAndInitialize(piece.occupiedSquare, piece.team, typeof(Queen));
        QueenPromote = false;
        Bishop.SetActive(false);
        Queen.SetActive(false);
        Rook.SetActive(false);
        Knight.SetActive(false);
    }
    else if (RookPromote)
    {
        chessController.CreatePieceAndInitialize(piece.occupiedSquare, piece.team, typeof(Rook));
        RookPromote = false;
        Bishop.SetActive(false);
        Queen.SetActive(false);
        Rook.SetActive(false);
        Knight.SetActive(false);
    }
    else if (BishopPromote)
    {
        chessController.CreatePieceAndInitialize(piece.occupiedSquare, piece.team, typeof(Bishop));
        BishopPromote = false;
        Bishop.SetActive(false);
        Queen.SetActive(false);
        Rook.SetActive(false);
        Knight.SetActive(false);
    }
    else if (KnightPromote)
    {
        chessController.CreatePieceAndInitialize(piece.occupiedSquare, piece.team, typeof(Knight));
        KnightPromote = false;
        Bishop.SetActive(false);
        Queen.SetActive(false);
        Rook.SetActive(false);
        Knight.SetActive(false);
    }
    Debug.Log(piece.occupiedSquare);
    Debug.Log(piece.team);
}``` i have this function currently

Queen, bishop, knight and rook at start are buttons

this code doesnt work, it doesnt read the position

yet this one works public void PromotePiece(Piece piece) { TakePiece(piece); chessController.CreatePieceAndInitialize(piece.occupiedSquare, piece.team, typeof(Queen)); }

[frigid sequoia]

Well shit, why is the List not appearing in the inspector now? xd

[noble forum]

this one only works for queen, any idea why?

[vale karma]

okay i got to where i can use WasPressedThisFrame, but i think im wrong about what its used for. It makes my character jump indefinitely after pressing it once, not just when i press the key down

[frigid sequoia]

Hard to tell without seeing it in more depth, maybe just make the pawn have a gameObject of every piece type as a dissabled children and just enable the selected one?

[noble forum]

i did the checking one more time

[teal viper]

I don't think you can assign default values to Editor class like that.

[noble forum]

it seems it loses the values in the middle of the code

[frigid sequoia]

I did assign the Particle though, I need to assign a few prefabs for the things I want to do

[frigid sequoia]

Also if I add just a material component it does let me assign it

[teal viper]

I guess that doesn't work for lists.🤷‍♂️
Does it work with an array?

[frigid sequoia]

The thing I do need specifically a List for what I am trying to do, the stuff needs to be in order

It doesn't seem to work with arrays anyways though

[teal viper]

Array is ordered though...

[teal viper]

I see. Well, default values are pretty limited, so I guess it makes sense.

[frigid sequoia]

I guess I will have to create several mat parameters and pass make them into a List later

Which, is kinda weird but ok

[teal viper]

You could get them from a scriptable object or something.

Or load with resources or asset database.

[frigid sequoia]

I think I could. But all this is meant to do is to let me push a button to call all this and setup all the components of the objects automatically to save them as a prefab without the need of having to it manually for each manually and not having to assing it on start. For all I know scripteable objetcs are more meant to be for runtime stuff?

Read about them, but never used one yet

[queen adder]

Share code please

[teal viper]

Well, what prevents you from doing it with my suggestions?

SOs are totally not just for runtime. A lot of unity engine uses SOs for editor config and stuff. Like the render pipelines.

They're just a way to have an instance of an object as an asset.

[frigid sequoia]

So I just... make a SO to store a reference to a List of mats and pass that to the editor tool?

[oblique lotus]

ummmm can someone explain to me why its not printing in order...

it justs goes out of order starting index 2...

and fixes itself after index 5

[teal viper]

Yes.

You can define all the references needed in that SO. Not just the list.

[frigid sequoia]

I already did this crime against all the programmer community though xd

[teal viper]

Where are these pieces of code in relation to each other?

[frigid sequoia]

I will use a SO properly, if I ever have to revisit the editor tool script for this project, which I probably will. For now I am gonna stick to this patch thx

[teal viper]

It's mainly a crime against yourself. The community doesn't care about your project

[oblique lotus]

the list is just at the top
the print code is just at start
and the 3rd picture is the console

but for some reason, its not printing in order

[frigid sequoia]

Oh, that's kinda mean and true at equal parts

[teal viper]

Can you share the whole script properly? !code

[arctic ibex]

quick question, is there a way to disable/enable the sprite renderer of an objects child without directly referenceing the child object? (Just straight up disabling the whole gameobject is also fine, because it only has a spriterenderer component)

[dark laurel]

in code? or in the editor

[arctic ibex]

code

[dark laurel]

do you already have a reference to it?

[teal viper]

SetaActive of course.

[arctic ibex]

I have a reference to the parent

[arctic ibex]

If i set active for the parent with the child also be affected?

[dark laurel]

you'll have to iterate the children, find the sprite renderer, then setActive(false) it

[arctic ibex]

Iterate?

[dark laurel]

yes, if you set the parent inactive, all of its children are inactive

[arctic ibex]

Oh okay, thanks

[dark laurel]

iterate = "loop over"

[teal viper]

Yes, GameObject's active state affects all it's children.

[dark laurel]

foreach (Person p in discord.AllPeople) p.Ping(); // this is what @channel would do

that's called iterating

[arctic ibex]

What does it do?

oh wait nevermind I think I get it

It's basically saying "for everything in this set, do this once" right?

Right

I am noticing that even though when using the editor tool to assign the components they do assign correctly, once I enter play mode they lose the reference for some reason, even though I am pretty sure nothing is messing with those parameters at all. It does work eventually, but most of the time is just doesn't

Any idea why this could be?

[north kiln]

have you written a custom editor

If so, see Persisting Changes pinned to #↕️┃editor-extensions

[frigid sequoia]

So... it is not meant to work unless I specifically tell it too?

Cause it has indeed persisted like 1/10 times for some reason

[timber tide]

it's just a texture

https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/2d/textures-materials/gridbox-prototype-materials-129127
Grab these

some of the unity templates come with some gridbox textures too

[hot wave]

woo

thank you mao

[hot wave]

how do I tile/repeat the image, the options doesnt have the tile, I am confused

Is it a different unity version?

[rocky canyon]

its in the material

[hot wave]

this is the material

[rocky canyon]

u have debug mode turned on

turn that off

or wait.. why is ur so different?

create a new material and use the textures from the pack

[hot wave]

im so confused

[rocky canyon]

can u try creating a new material yourself..

[hot wave]

okok, I will try

[rocky canyon]

right click the project window, create new material

[hot wave]

ah wait, it is in debug mode

[rocky canyon]

and then you can click next to Base.. and that will let u pick one of those grids from that pack as the texture

i knew it!

lol

[hot wave]

I was so confused xD

[rocky canyon]

me too b/c when u click the three dots on the material inspector u cant turn off debug from there

u have to do it on some other component first

😅

[hot wave]

thank you spawn

[rocky canyon]

NORMAL keep it NORMAL

lol, why u have it on debug mode anyway?

[hot wave]

I was checking gravity

[rocky canyon]

ohh cool cool 👍 carry on

but yea, debug mode exposes alot of new info.. but it also hides abunch of stuff

[hot wave]

why does my screen get seams/ screen tearing when looking at tiles? (might not be just tiles)

can it be fixed?

[timber tide]

adjust your near clipping on the scene camera

[hot wave]

what is the comfortable clipping distance?

it is 0.3 atm

I tried 1, I think it looks better

I still see some tears, but is it only inside the editor?

[teal viper]

Take a screenshot

[queen adder]

sooo I'm a beginner

[hot wave]

screenshot cant get the seams

[queen adder]

your game is good bro gj

[hot wave]

but it looks like this from what I see (edited in paint)

[teal viper]

Does that happen with a static image too(when the camera is not moving)?

[hot wave]

I will try, but I only notice the seaming when moving

[north kiln]

This will happen when you don't have vsync enabled. Or if the right framerate isn't achieved while you have a monitor capable of FreeSync or Gsync and an appropriate GPU for either technology.

[hot wave]

ah, where can I find vsync?

[north kiln]

I would have to google the documentation for you

and I think you can do that yourself

[teal viper]

If it's in the scene view, then the scene view camera settings.

Go over the unity ui in the manual

[hot wave]

ah I found it

thank you vert, dlich

[nimble apex]

just consider this scope, without other scripts, will both behaves the same?

  public int m_columnNum { get; private set; }

  private void Awake()
  {
    m_columnNum = 8;
  }```

```cs
  public int m_columnNum
  {
    get { return 8; }
    private set { m_columnNum = value; }
  }

i simply dont want to make another awake functions

[north kiln]

The bottom one contains an infinite loop

[nimble apex]

ok i will go for first one then

ty

[north kiln]

and also makes no sense

[pallid nymph]

you can do public int ColumnNum { get; private set; } = 8; 🤔

[languid spire]

why have a set at all when you always return 8

[nimble apex]

whhhhhat?

damn didnt know that tho lol

[nimble apex]

i just wanna have the property do the first one without opening an awake function

it seems that the

public int ColumnNum { get; private set; } = 8;``` its a good way to go👍

[zinc warren]

    private Texture2D Render3DObjectToTexture(GameObject objPrefab)
    {
        RenderTexture renderTexture = new(256, 256, 24);
        int LayerIndex = LayerMask.NameToLayer("UiItems");

        GameObject cameraObject = new("RenderCamera");
        Camera renderCamera = cameraObject.AddComponent<Camera>();
        renderCamera.targetTexture = renderTexture;
        renderCamera.enabled = false;
        renderCamera.clearFlags = CameraClearFlags.SolidColor;
        renderCamera.backgroundColor = new Color(0, 0, 0, 0);
        renderCamera.cullingMask = 1 << LayerIndex;

        GameObject obj = Instantiate(objPrefab);
        obj.transform.position = renderCamera.transform.position + renderCamera.transform.forward * 4f;
        obj.transform.LookAt(renderCamera.transform);
        obj.layer = LayerIndex;

        renderCamera.Render();

        Texture2D texture = new(renderTexture.width, renderTexture.height, TextureFormat.RGB24, false);
        RenderTexture.active = renderTexture;
        texture.ReadPixels(new Rect(0, 0, renderTexture.width, renderTexture.height), 0, 0);
        texture.Apply();

        RenderTexture.active = null;
        Destroy(cameraObject);
        Destroy(obj);

        return texture;
    }

why is the background of the texture black even though i set the camera's clearflag to solid color?

[rocky canyon]

did u chose black as the solid color its using?

[zinc warren]

dosnt it not change anything tho anyway? isnt it used as the color of the fringes where aliasing happens

[north kiln]

renderCamera.backgroundColor = new Color(0, 0, 0, 0);
Why are you expecting anything but black?

[zinc warren]

i thought renderCamera.backgroundColor does that

[north kiln]

But what color would the actual background be

[zinc warren]

ye i though it would only change the color of the fringes to black, not the whole background

[north kiln]

But what do you think the background color would be? What sets the background if not that?

[zinc warren]

donsnt SolidColor clear the bg tho?

[north kiln]

It clears it with the background color, as it says

[zinc warren]

ok, so how do i fix it bc if i remove the bgColor line, it changes the bg to blue

[north kiln]

What do you want the background color to be

[zinc warren]

clear

[timber tide]

why not make it alpha and clip it

[north kiln]

There is no such thing as "Clear"

You cannot make transparency so your game is see-through

(Without hooking into complex OS-specific functionality)

[zinc warren]

say i want the ui behind the rawimage to be rendered instead of the solidColor

[timber tide]

cant you render the texture, make black as alpha, then render it onto a quad with a transparent shader

or alpha clip the black

[north kiln]

Ah, I see what you mean.
TextureFormat.RGB24 has no alpha channel

[zinc warren]

oh ye, i set it to RGBA32 and it works now

[slender cargo]

So I'm attempting to save an objects data set to json, But for some reason I can't get all the game objects with the tags added to the array?

[north kiln]

Each call to FindGameObjectsWith tags is being reassigned to Frwogs, overriding the array with a new reference

also .ConvertTo<String>(); should just be .ToString()

[slender cargo]

Thats what I assumed, how would I go around this?

[slender cargo]

whoops my bad

[slender cargo]

How do I add them to the array rather than overwriting?

[north kiln]

Add them to a list, and use that in your loop; or make a method that you call multiple times with each array, making sure to correctly increase the identifier between each one

Or, I wonder why you're using tags at all and not just getting all the FwogControllers?

[slender cargo]

so I create a loop that adds them seperately to the array?

[slender cargo]

I tried to do that, but I couldn't work it out

[north kiln]

var controllers = FindObjectsOfType<FwogController>();

[slender cargo]

Says I can't convert it to game object

[north kiln]

It's not a GameObject, it's an array of FwogController

[slender cargo]

ohhhh Im being silly ofc

I'd still need to create a loop to add them to the array though?

[north kiln]

No

[slender cargo]

Awesome

[north kiln]

You seem to be using 2023, which has FindObjectsByType instead.

[slender cargo]

Also Am I doing the saving of each Frwog's data wrong. Currently Im creating a new json file for each one

as surely if I tried to do it to the same file, it would overwrite each other?

Then im loading them like:

[north kiln]

Not if you serialized an array or list of the data (which JsonUtility would need inside another object because it's ick)

[slender cargo]

What do you mean?

Heres the data... Do I want to reference this GameData from the FrwogController's and store their data here instead?

[north kiln]

I mean you need to serialize a wrapper containing a list of your data if you want to save it all in one file using JsonUtility

[Serializable]
public class GameDataGroup
{
     public List<GameData> Data = new();
}

[slender cargo]

oo

So How do I use this? Do I create a new script which just collects all the gamedata into a list?

then I can then save that using the json Utility

[slender cargo]

Like do I add a loop which adds them to the list?

[north kiln]

You just create a new one of those, Add each of your things to the list, and then serialize that object

[slender cargo]

but how do I add the data to the list sorry?

even tho I use it

how can I fix this

[north kiln]

You can easily google how to add to a list. If you don't understand something more specific about it then feel free to clarify'

[slender cargo]

Alrighty, Thanks for the help, I'll go search it up :D

[hot wave]

I tried making character movement in 3d, but I do not like transform as movement because there is no momentum, how do I make one with momentum?

[north kiln]

I don't see where you use it, you declare a new one in UpdateMovement

[hexed terrace]

Use physics (rigidbody)

[hot wave]

I will try

[queen adder]

my jump doesnt work too

is there something wrong with the script

ifs

[opal portal]

Hello there, is there any way to automatically assign via scripts an scriptableobject event to the GameObject with that script?

[queen adder]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yl2Tv72tV7U

no lying I copy pasted from this guys tutorial

everythings the same yet my jump doesnt work

and layers are set correct

[hexed terrace]

If you're following a tutorial, and it works in theirs but not yours.. you did something wrong or missed something

[timber comet]

Did you forget to set something in the player inspector?

[north kiln]

everythings the same
@polar acorn get in here

[queen adder]

no

Ground is set its layer is set

groundcheck set

let me clarify that

it works

except for jumping

[slender cargo]

Would this be a good way of doing so?

Then I can then save the Data list to json

[timber comet]

No update no mono

[slender cargo]

But how would I then loop through this data retreiving each data from the list? Would that be going through the index of the list?

[slender cargo]

So If I can't update, How do I run this?

[north kiln]

No, you shouldn't be collecting these things in Update, you shouldn't be serializing a MonoBehaviour, and nor should the list of data be in the same object as the component array or serialization logic

[slender cargo]

Right, so I would add them in the save script

[north kiln]

Where you had it before was totally fine, you just needed to do what I said, create a new group object—without changing what I wrote to something else, add to its list, and serialize that object

[slender cargo]

Then reference the gamedatagroup for when im saving it

[hot wave]

maybe you need grounded

[slender cargo]

Like so?

[north kiln]

I can't see what datalist is, and also note that you really don't need to declare these variables outside of the function if you're not using them elsewhere

[autumn tusk]

i dont know whats causing this issue

i think i messed up a file or class name somewhere

[north kiln]

Show the class you're trying to reference

[north kiln]

It would be best if you linked to both sets of !code

When looping to retreive the data, how would I do that? Would I just go through the index of the list?

[autumn tusk]

https://gdl.space/nonitirifu.cs

here we are

second script starts from line 791

im currently using astar pathfinding project

[north kiln]

Are you seeing this issue in the Unity console?

[north kiln]

Yes, just a loop. You need to deserialize the same type you're serializing though, which is now GameDataGroup not GameData

[autumn tusk]

yep

had to lanch my project in safe mode bc of it

[slender cargo]

Yep Just realised that... How would I go abouts doing this?

[slender cargo]

Would I need to loop through it?

and do the index?

[rocky canyon]

its in the Pathfinding namespace

[north kiln]

You still have Gamedata written there

[rocky canyon]

do u have that using statement in ur script?

or Pathfinding.

[slender cargo]

Like so?

[north kiln]

They're both in the code posted, both in the same namespace

[slender cargo]

Or am I being silly

[north kiln]

You need to deserialize the same type you're serializing though, which is now GameDataGroup not GameData

[slender cargo]

ohhhhh

I feel silly now

How did I miss that 😂

[north kiln]

If both of these scripts are within the Astar project and unmodified by you then it seems like something else has gone awry

[autumn tusk]

i copied one of these scripts directly yesterday

[north kiln]

What do you mean?

[autumn tusk]

i deleted it after it caused significant issues, but

broke this getcomponent function

[autumn tusk]

like i copied the aidestinationsetter script

[north kiln]

What, and moved it somewhere else?

[rocky canyon]

is this a clue?

[buoyant knot]

i think so, batman

[autumn tusk]

renamed it, renamed the class that sorta thing for the copied version

[north kiln]

The script was originally in a location under an assembly definition, if you moved it out from that assembly then the other scripts won't be referencing it

[autumn tusk]

ok i fixed it

placed the file back in its original location

fixed itself

[rocky canyon]

wouldn't the namespace Pathfinding line be enough? im asking for myself.. not sure..
i thought no matter where the file was located if u specifically wrapped the class in the namespace everything would still be okay

[north kiln]

No

[languid spire]

only if it had references to the dll where the code was moved through

[slender cargo]

Thanks for all the help @north kiln. I understand how to use Json Utility much better!

[rocky canyon]

ohh interesting.. okay. TIL

[autumn tusk]

christ, looks like im gonna have to remake my enemy prefab

[rocky canyon]

oof

[autumn tusk]

its fine since i made a base before applying a* pathing to it

but thats gonna be annoying

[rocky canyon]

smart

things like that happen.. but its a learning experience

[keen sorrel]

Would anyone be able to help me with my c# script. Its a script that is supposed to rotate a gameobject to face another gameobject. Here is my function at the moment (Sorry if its a bit messy im very new to game dev)

The current error seems to be that it doesnt properly calculate the foodangle, it staying set and then the ant is rotated at the angle of -food angle. Iv tried a couple different ways of doing this and none seem to be working.

    private void MoveTowardsFood()
    {
        if (currentFood != null)
        {
            float step = antTurnSpeed * Time.deltaTime * 10;
            float foodAngle = Vector2.Angle(this.transform.position, currentFood.transform.position);
            Debug.Log("Food angle = " + foodAngle);
            float comparedAngle = this.transform.rotation.z - foodAngle;
            if (comparedAngle> 10f)
            {
                float targetAngle = Mathf.LerpAngle(this.transform.rotation.z, foodAngle, step);
                Debug.Log("Target angle = " + (targetAngle - this.transform.rotation.z));
                this.transform.rotation =  Quaternion.Euler(0, 0, (this.transform.rotation.z - targetAngle));
            }
            else if (comparedAngle < 10f)
            {
                Debug.Log("Snapping on");
                this.transform.rotation = Quaternion.Euler(0, 0, (this.transform.rotation.z - foodAngle*2));
            }
            //This is just a function that moves it in the direction its facing.
            Move();
        }
    }

[autumn tusk]

ok i really need to start backing things up

this a* algorithm is messing up my entire project

im gonna push this onto git

just causing a lot of bugs

[timber tide]

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Quaternion.RotateTowards.html
Can try using one of these

Ah, you need to use LookRotation in conjuction

[keen sorrel]

Alright, ill try use LookAt and RotateTowards to see if it fixes it

[timber tide]

Sorry I mean this https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Quaternion.LookRotation.html instead of LookAt

  float degreesPerSec = 10; //some value
  float step = degreesPerSec * Time.deltaTime;
  Vector3 direction = target.position - transform.position;
  Quaternion targetRotation = Quaternion.LookRotation(direction, Vector3.up);
  transform.rotation = Quaternion.RotateTowards(transform.rotation, targetRotation, step);```

[keen sorrel]

alright let me try this

[keen sorrel]

Alright, it now rotates towards the food but then continues to keep rotating past the item and then starts bugging when it begins to bug when the food leaves the collider snaping in then rotating back out and repeats

I did have to change it to only rotate on the Z axis since its a 2d game but i think i did that fine

Here is the code:

    private void MoveTowardsFood()
    {
        if (currentFood != null)
        {
            float step = antTurnSpeed * Time.deltaTime;
            Vector3 direction = currentFood.transform.position - transform.position;
            Quaternion targetRotation = Quaternion.LookRotation(direction);
            transform.rotation = Quaternion.Euler(0, 0, Quaternion.RotateTowards(transform.rotation, targetRotation, step).eulerAngles.z);
            Move();
        }
    }

[timber tide]

the rotation shouldn't overshoot, but if you don't need to rotate once looking at the target then flag it to stop calling your method

[keen sorrel]

how would i check that? Just do another angle check and if its 0 not call the method?

[timber tide]

yeah you could just compare angles

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Quaternion.Angle.html

probably worth it to figure out why it's overshooting though for when you continuously want to look at something

[keen sorrel]

it seems to be going to an angle which isnt where the food is which i dont really understand why. I'v attached a picture where it kinda just stays on that degrees while its supposed to be tracking the red dot? (made it so instead of getting caught on the collision boundary it would go past it so i could check where it was trying to rotate too or if it was spinning or what)

Do you have any ideas?

[timber tide]

Ah, you're using 2D so your up axis would be z+

[keen sorrel]

What do i change to fix this? Just change LookRotation to include an up?

[timber tide]

vector3.Up is +y

[keen sorrel]

Yeah, i would use vector3.Forward?

[timber tide]

not sure if there's a 2D method for this, but try using Vector3(0, 0, 1)

[keen sorrel]

cause forward is z+ and backwards z- right

[timber tide]

Yeah, or vector3.forward

[keen sorrel]

alright

[timber tide]

https://forum.unity.com/threads/look-rotation-2d-equivalent.611044/
Looks relevant

[keen sorrel]

i fixed it tysm!!

i used vector3.backwards

and it worked

idk why its backwards instead of forwards

[queen adder]

Some day ago, i saw in one of Unity's documentation that they were using Time.deltaTime in FixedUpdate. We know using Time.fixedDeltaTime is giving almost exactly same value as Fixed TimeStep unless there is a heavy calculation. So my question is, which **deltaTime **to use in FixedUpdate?

[teal viper]

It gives exactly the same value in fixed update.

they're basically equal

[timber tide]

I was told it will use the time method relative to what loop it's in

[steel smelt]

Which is an abomination

[teal viper]

No, it makes total sense

[queen adder]

:d that was what i was doing until i saw that in documentation

[rocky canyon]

if u like the way forwards looks u can always use -transform.forward 😉 aka backwards

[queen adder]

Did i understood correct? You mean the Time.deltaTime equals Time.fixedDeltaTime in the FixedUpdate?

[rocky canyon]

yup

[steel smelt]

Ah

[oblique ginkgo]

Yeah, they are the same when queried in FixedUpdate

[steel smelt]

I think there's a misunderstanding @teal viper

You were talking about the fixedDeltaTime being the same value as* the fixed timestep?

[teal viper]

Yep.

[rocky canyon]

since fixed timestep is fixed, it'll always be the same.. (its the time that has transpired since the last fixed update)

[steel smelt]

The abomination I'm talking about is Time.deltaTime returning different values depending on whether it's called during the update or the physics step

[teal viper]

Yeah

[frosty hound]

Why is this an abomination? It's how it works?

[oblique ginkgo]

How is it an abomination?

[teal viper]

Donno. It makes sense to me.

[rocky canyon]

how is it an abomination?

[oblique ginkgo]

Its not like it detects where its being called and returns a different value, its just a side effect of the physics simulation being called at a constant interval

[rocky canyon]

^ basically just technicallities

[steel smelt]

Okay, fair.

Because the logic is not visible, and because there is an explicit Time.fixedDeltaTime property, it is prone to misleading the users

There is no use in having the Time.deltaTime property handle that logic because Time.fixedDeltaTime exists. My understanding is that they've added this internal handling to simplify the engine for beginners

[keen sorrel]

That’s true lol

[gaunt ice]

probably the calculation of dt is current time of this call- that of previous call so it returns fixeddt when you call it in fixed update

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Time-deltaTime.html

The interval in seconds from the last frame to the current one

[north merlin]

I'm feeling a bit lazy so I want to know an easier way to write this expression
if (int a == int b || int a == int c)
looking for something easy like
if (int a == int b : int c : int d)

[acoustic crow]

how i can download my game from cloud?

[gaunt ice]

no, if you dont rewrite the compiler

[languid spire]

you could use correct c# syntax, that would simplify it

[oblique ginkgo]

Not a code question, and through Unity Hub.

[gaunt ice]

btw if you need to check it against lots of int, use hashset

[north merlin]

What's a hashset

[north merlin]

Meaning?

[oblique ginkgo]

Meaning wtf is if (int a == int b : int c : int d)
that isnt going to compile

[languid spire]

neither would his previous line and that is what I meant

[rocky canyon]

he's asking if theres something similar where he doesnt have to do each comparison individually

[silk night]

        if (a is 5 or 3 or 1)
        {
            
        }```

It works like this but i dont think you should use it like that 😄

[rocky canyon]

but nah.. not that i know of.. maybe could write ur own method to do something as such

[acoustic crow]

Do you have a link or can you say what i must do now?

[burnt vapor]

This, but I don't think this type of pattern matching is supported by unity

[oblique ginkgo]

that compiles? huh, impressed

[oblique ginkgo]

Still not a code question, and look it up yourself.

[silk night]

just tried it in unity, atleast in-editor it works

[burnt vapor]

Nice, atleast this is supported lol

[gaunt ice]

oh, first time to know that

[tired junco]

hey! currently im working on a game where the player should overcame various obstacles one of them should be a canon that knows the target position and the distance between the canon and the target with these parameters the canon should align itself so that the projectile hits the player no matter what distance (image) how would you implement that or do you have any ressources you would recommend?

[burnt vapor]

You can also do this

if (new int[] { b, c }.Contains(a))

Note this does equality by reference when you compare reference types so it might fail on objects.

[oblique ginkgo]

(im not saying fuck off i dont want to talk to you, im saying this is not the right channel and you arent going to get effective help nor do people want to help people about this here)

[silk night]

Go to #💻┃unity-talk and ask there

[north merlin]

My first line IS proper code.

[rocky canyon]

must be some new c# syntax sugar

[oblique ginkgo]

cap

[slender cargo]

Why is my data list count outputting double than there is in the list?

[languid spire]

really?

if (int a == int b || int a == int c)
if (0=0 || 0=0)

[oblique ginkgo]

cap

[silk night]

Look up the proper calculation for an object trajectory, there is a function where you can plug in a distance and it outputs you the angle you need to fire the canon at

[north merlin]

Replace int letter with a number

[burnt vapor]

They mean you made a mistake and accidentally put int in the statement twice multiple times. Remove those and it would work correctly.

[slender cargo]

For some reason, even though I only save 2 data sets to my list, It says there is 4 in there....

[oblique ginkgo]

can you show the contents of the json file?

[slender cargo]

How do I find that?

[burnt vapor]

Does this deserialize into a 2d array by any chance? Count will count all dimensions, which will be double (most likely). There is a GetLength method you should use instead.

[rocky canyon]

i made a system like this last year.. it was trial and error. I would have the cannon angled up by soo many degree's and add a force... (i would adjust it so it would hit at a certain distance) like zeroing in a scope... once it was hitting i moved the cannon back and just adjusted the angle.. (keeping the force the same) and i did that until it hit.. and then i used those two distances and lerped the angle w/ those.. soo like 10 ft there would be a 15degree angle.. and then at 30 feet they'd be a 45 degree angle.. and then any distance between those.. would just find the middleground..

[oblique ginkgo]

Go to C:\Users\username\AppData\LocalLow\gamecompanyname/FrwogData.json

[slender cargo]

oh might be, I'm not sure

[rocky canyon]

it worked out prettty good after i did all the zeroing stuff.. (OR u can go math heavy and just use a formula for a parabola and do it)

[north merlin]

Let me rewrite it so it's easier to understand.

if(numberA == numberB || numberA == numberC){ Debug.Log("it works.");

[burnt vapor]

Well, what does GameDataGroup have?

[languid spire]

how can you not know where you save data to?

[oblique ginkgo]

dude you already got your answer

[tired junco]

thanks

[north merlin]

Ik I just don't like being misunderstood.

[languid spire]

that is not saving data

[north merlin]

It makes me look dumb.

[burnt vapor]

JSONUtility can deserialize into a List? And here I thought it was too basic for that.
Well, doesn't look like a 2d array so nevermind.

[oblique ginkgo]

okay can we have a look at your json file
go to Go to C:\Users\username\AppData\LocalLow\gamecompanyname/FrwogData.json

and paste the contents somewhere.

[teal viper]

It can mostly serialize anything the inspector can.

[languid spire]

he's deserializing multiple times and not clearing the List first

[slender cargo]

On college pc currently... Trying to access it

[north merlin]

Thnx. Time to stress test it.

[oblique ginkgo]

That works? The list gets assigned to when it gets deserialized, not added

[slender cargo]

Not seemed to generate a app data on my college account

[oblique ginkgo]

appdata is a hidden folder

[slender cargo]

For some reason file exporer on the pc won't open 😂

[oblique ginkgo]

check hidden items

[slender cargo]

This is great

[rocky canyon]

wow..

thats kinda important

[slender cargo]

ayy finally got it to open

Well its empty 😂

[rocky canyon]

no json to be found

👀

[oblique ginkgo]

did you... save the file?

how is it deserializing nothing

[slender cargo]

Its writing to this path

any idea where that is?

[rocky canyon]

ur lookin at it

[north merlin]

U can't json parse a vector 3.

[slender cargo]

Thats odd, its definetly saving information

[burnt vapor]

No, but you could know if you see where persistentDataPath points to using Debug.Log

[slender cargo]

alright

[burnt vapor]

Perhaps it's not this folder at all

[north merlin]

Put in into a list<int>{int, int,int}

[rocky canyon]

thats a possibility

[burnt vapor]

You can in fact parse it, it becomes an object with a x, y and z value.

[oblique ginkgo]

thats not the chief issue yet
we cant even find the save file its deserializing from

[slender cargo]

Pointing to the folder 🤷‍♂️

[rocky canyon]

ya vector3's end up lookin like this

[burnt vapor]

So has the code to save a json file invoked in the first place? Does this also point to this folder?

[north merlin]

Did he add anything before the fwog folder cuz that data path looking a bit too short.

[slender cargo]

is that an issue?

[rocky canyon]

nah, but guy said u cant json a vector3

thats not true

[burnt vapor]

That's a transform, not a vector3

[slender cargo]

a transform stores size and rotation too

[rocky canyon]

nah i use POsition

transform.position

thats a vector3

[oblique ginkgo]

which are both vector3s.

which are both serialized here.

ergo, you can serialize a vector3

[rocky canyon]

facts

[burnt vapor]

Last I checked a Vector3 does not keep track of a rotation

[rocky canyon]

well the first one is a vector3

[oblique ginkgo]

oh yeah, rotation is a quaternion

not a vector3

[north merlin]

You will run into bugs because unity doesnt deserialize it well.

[rocky canyon]

the rotation is a quaternion

[oblique ginkgo]

but pos and scale are both vector3s

[burnt vapor]

Right, I was just pointing out the object as a whole was not a Vector3...

[oblique ginkgo]

i have quite literally never seen an issue with unity deserializing vectors

[slender cargo]

Should I try writing the json path some place else?

for a test?

[oblique ginkgo]

did the guy we were meant to be helping dip
why are we yapping about this

[rocky canyon]

ur right

here let me fix that for ya

jeeez

[oblique ginkgo]

wheres the code that saves the file?

[burnt vapor]

Thanks, this is much more clear now

[rocky canyon]

lol

[rocky canyon]

debug ur persistentDataPath and see if it is indeed that folder ur lookin at

[burnt vapor]

Is this method part of a MonoBehaviour class?

[slender cargo]

I've done that, and it is..

[oblique ginkgo]

wait

[rocky canyon]

this method never gets called

so how does it write?

[slender cargo]

uhh yeah

[oblique ginkgo]

yes it does

[rocky canyon]

why is it faded?

[oblique ginkgo]

its just visual studio being ass

[rocky canyon]

ohhh ok

[oblique ginkgo]

it doesnt detect unity functions

wait

[rocky canyon]

🤔

[burnt vapor]

Okay, and are you aware this method only exists for the editor and not actually if you were to play a build?

[oblique ginkgo]

holup

how does path.combine

go from /FrwogData.json

to /FrwogData

[slender cargo]

oh really?

[burnt vapor]

Can we stop spamming this chat? Send a single message and stop writing a few words

[burnt vapor]

Yes. if you want to store data on quit you need to do something else

[rocky canyon]

it would be ..localLow/DefaultCompany/ProjectName/FrwogData/FrwogData.json

[burnt vapor]

... or is it? I might actually be wrong now that I think of it. Sorry

The documentation is unclear: https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/MonoBehaviour.OnApplicationQuit.html

[slender cargo]

whoops

[burnt vapor]

Actually, the method is probably called regardless. Please place a Debug.Log in the code and see if the message is logged on quit

[slender cargo]

But the path here is right?

[north merlin]

I'll keep that in mind.

[rocky canyon]

if thats ur persistent path. ya theres where it'll be

[burnt vapor]

Regardless the method should not indicate it's unused. Unity methods are hardcoded to not do that

[oblique ginkgo]

You're just debugging the path variable, yes?
How does Path.Combine just yeet the extension

[rocky canyon]

yea thats what threw me off.. plz debug like fused mentioned

for ease of mind

[shell sorrel]

as far as teh ide knows it is unused since its called via reflection

[burnt vapor]

Yes but stuff like Awake and Start are as well and those do show up correctly right?

[oblique ginkgo]

In other editors, maybe? My Visual Studio and VSCode have faded methods, and they both have full intellisense.

[slender cargo]

I'll have a look

[rocky canyon]

mines UN-Faded

[shell sorrel]

it is showing up correctly, it knows its a UnityMessage its just saying nothing calls it

differences could be the ide used

[rocky canyon]

interesting..

[slender cargo]

All are faded in all my scripts so I think its my end

[oblique ginkgo]

dafu

[rocky canyon]

what IDE are u using? im curious

[oblique ginkgo]

Try removing Path.Combine and just using a +

Just for now

[burnt vapor]

Could you at least log the method to see if it's called in the first place?

[languid spire]

lose the /

[slender cargo]

Alr

[oblique ginkgo]

Oh yeah lose the / before you try mine.

[rocky canyon]

ohh yea you dont need the / if ur using Combine

[slender cargo]

That worked!

I removed the slash and it works now

[rocky canyon]

🍿 im here for this..

[rocky canyon]

whoop whoop 🎉

[slender cargo]

I wonder whether it was my college pc file stuff causing the issues?

[oblique ginkgo]

This session has just been comedy
try saving it, post the json thing

[shell sorrel]

whole point of Combine is it does the slashes for you, with the correct ones for said platform

[oblique ginkgo]

probably not given it wrote a folder

[slender cargo]

anyways lets try fix my original bug

[rocky canyon]

so it was probably trying to save it to ProjectName//Frwog...

and wigged out the system

[slender cargo]

It seems to be doubling the count of how much I am saving

[oblique ginkgo]

yeah that wouldnt change
but can you post your json file

[rocky canyon]

where do u call the method that saves it? debug it and see how many show up

[slender cargo]

So it saves the correct amount, but loads double

[rocky canyon]

where do u call the method that loads it? debug it and see how many show up

[shell sorrel]

datalist exists outside of that method

[slender cargo]

Am I using the correct term to see how many data sets is in the json file?

[oblique ginkgo]

which should now show up in the expected folder

[shell sorrel]

might want to clear it first

[slender cargo]

I've done that too, double

[slender cargo]

Yeah have been or im getting hundreds very quickly lol

[oblique ginkgo]

yeah run dataList.Clear(); at the top of your function

[slender cargo]

ah that works well

thanks

didn't realise that I had to clear it before writing in it

I thought it just overwrite it

[rocky canyon]

i did too..

[languid spire]

hmmm, #💻┃code-beginner message

[slender cargo]

Ah missed that, sorry mate

Thanks for the help guys!

[vast vessel]

So you know how in the unity event system, you can select a geme object, then choose a function from one of the components on that game object? How do i get something like that on my own scripts? is there a class for it or smth? Im trying to make my own thing that is like the unity even system but also takes in a delay.

[oblique ginkgo]

You are looking for the UnityEvent class?

It's under UnityEngine.Events

[vast vessel]

I just want the dropdown field in the inspector that has all the accessible methods on a gameobject

[oblique ginkgo]

Yeah, that's the UnityEvent class

[eager fulcrum]

does anyone know any discord server for robotics

[oblique ginkgo]

how is this in anyway related to unity code, but the shreibotics server is good

[frigid flume]

hello, i've recently built my app's apk but the camera is very far away from the content... i don't know how to do it, i don't understand how the main camera is working in the editor, it ain't displaying anything

this is what it looks like

[keen sorrel]

i mean you can physically move the camera into place and size it, or if its ui you should be able to lock it onto the camera with this;

[flint rock]

I am a tiny bit confused.
I have this collision detector:

private void OnCollisionEnter(Collision collision)
{
    GameObject enemyObject = collision.gameObject;
  //  UnitCombat unitStats = enemyObject.GetComponent<UnitCombat>();
    bool disableDamage = false;
    print(gameObject);
}

Why does print(gameObject) return the name of the OTHER object that this is colliding with, as opposed to returning the parent?
When I do print(collision.gameObject) it returns the object that is running this line of code. I'm trying to work out if this is a bug so really I'm just looking for people to validate this as intended functionality.

It confuses me because if I do print(gameObject) outside of OnCollisionEnter it'll print the object that is running the code, whereas if I do it in a OnCollisionEnter it'll print the object that it's colliding with, not the object running the code. It completely inverses it...

[frigid flume]

but whereever i place the camera its always displays nothing

[frigid flume]

like that

[frigid flume]

and btw i can't find this ^^

[oblique ginkgo]

this is not, infact, the intended functionality
thats actually kinda fucky what

[flint rock]

Thought this might be the case, lost a good half an hour to trying to work out why the script wasn't working as intended. Guess I'll have to post this one as a bug then. Thank you for helping me validate it!

[frigid flume]

i don't understand

[keen sorrel]

What type of item is it?

[frigid flume]

there are images, buttons, text

[keen sorrel]

So what this does is when it collides with something, it returns information on what it collided with, which is nammed collision so collision.gameobject is the gameobject info of the thing that collided. When you just print gameobject is prints the gameobject the script is on

[keen sorrel]

In the inspector on the top left do you see this?

[frigid flume]

yes but only on items like buttons and images

not on camera

[keen sorrel]

Yeah, you lock the items to the camera

[frigid flume]

but how do i do ? ^^

[keen sorrel]

Uh you might need someone else to help you with the specifics, or there is probably a video online on it

[buoyant knot]

wait, is your camera a child of your canvas?

[flint rock]

It's not printing the gameObject the script is on, when I print gameObject it's printing the object it collides with instead of the object the script is on.

Let's say we have an object called "MainObj" and MainOBJ has the script with print (gameObject) in it in the scope of OnCollisionEnter, and it's colliding with a gameObject called "Wall" which has no scripts at all and is completely devoid of anything apart from the components necessary to make it render, and a BoxCollider
Now, when MainObj hits "Wall" you would think MainObj would print its own name, but instead it prints the name of the wall.

The code inside of MainObj?

    private void OnCollisionEnter(Collision collision)
{
print(gameObject.name)
}```
See how there isn't any code for print(collision.gameObject.name) but it's printing out the name of the object it collided with instead of its own?

[buoyant knot]

camera should not be in screen space, so it should not have a recttransform

camera should be in world space

[buoyant knot]

this makes no sense. your UI should be on a canvas

UI elements are supposed to be in canvas-space (screen space). Right now, you have it in world space

which is very very wrong

[frigid flume]

it is overlay

Screen-Space (overlay)

[keen sorrel]

Yeah, if you would want to print the gameobject its on then print this.gameobject

[buoyant knot]

so your UI elements all have recttransform, and are all children of an object with a canvas component?

[frigid flume]

it is rendering correctly in the game windown

[buoyant knot]

because that is what should happen

[frigid flume]

they all are children of objects that are canvas children

[buoyant knot]

canvas children? is there not one gameobject in the root that has a canvas?

one main canvas for everything

[buoyant knot]

ok, so only Canvas has a canvas component

that is right

[flint rock]

That doesn't work. (this.gameObject) still prints the other object, not the object that the script is a component of

[buoyant knot]

then it looks like your camera or your canvas settings are wrong

check canvas settings

[frigid flume]

[buoyant knot]

idk how this works exactly in 3D, since I only do this in 2D

but the canvas should display normally regardless of wtf is going on with the camera

it is a canvas. it exists in screen space, not in world space.

it effectively plasters the canvas onto your screen with the camera view behind it

[frigid flume]

yes i can move the camera in the scene and the game window still displays it perfectly

[summer stump]

This is a reason the rules say to not crosspost. You have two conversations going on at once

[frigid flume]

sorry i tought this was the wrong channel at first

[buoyant knot]

so the menu isn’t a problem right now, just the camera positioning?

[frigid flume]

and someone responded before i deleted it ^^'

[buoyant knot]

which means the solution is to move the camera or change the camera settings

[summer stump]

That's fair. No worries
In the future, #💻┃unity-talk is the right channel for this

[frigid flume]

i think but i'm not sure ^^

[frigid flume]

👍

[frigid flume]

even when i move the camera it does not shows anything

[buoyant knot]

is there anything in the scene to look at? because it looks like no

[spring quail]

Hey ! I'm trying to make my code cleaner by making some headers, but for some reason, the one you can see on the screenshot is not showing in the inspector, any ideas ?

[buoyant knot]

your controller isn’t serialized

[frigid flume]

there is my UI

[buoyant knot]

Header is an attribute that targets the next thing

[buoyant knot]

which does not exist in world space

[frigid flume]

so camera is useless right ?

[buoyant knot]

camera lives in world space, and sees things in world space

if there is nothing in worldspace to see, it will not show anything

[frigid flume]

so why when i launch the game on my phone i see the UI but very very small ?

[buoyant knot]

Header is an attribute for character controller. Character controller is not serialized, so it is never drawn, so unity never asks if it has a header

[frigid flume]

it should be completely on my screen

[rocky canyon]

the UI should be Overlayed..

maybe ur resolution/dimensions aren't correct on the canvas

[buoyant knot]

canvas should autoscale to your screen resolution

this is not a default setting for some terrible reason

[frigid flume]

i can't even edit them

[fair thorn]

Is their any github project out their with basic Android platformer controls

[buoyant knot]

because those values are driven by canvas

[polar acorn]

Because the Canvas component controls the size, not the transform

[rocky canyon]

its controlled here in teh canvas scaler component

[spring quail]

Oh thank you ! I didn't know it targets the next line, thanks a lot

[buoyant knot]

btw since you are asking to make code cleaner, you should use private access modifiers, and autoproperties

[rocky canyon]

the canvas component above.. is it set to screen space / overlay/

[frigid flume]

it is

[rocky canyon]

ohh see here

thats why its small..

[frigid flume]

seems fine

[rocky canyon]

ur elements arent even fullsize

they should fill up that entire square

[buoyant knot]

public float walkSpeed;
should be
[field: SerializeField] public float walkSpeed {get; private set; }
so you can’t randomly edit it from other classes.

[rocky canyon]

thats ur screen size

[buoyant knot]

i do warn since you are now serializing a different variable, you need to use [FormerlySerializedAs…] to keep the old variables

[frigid flume]

so is it good now ? or do i have to resize every componen

[rocky canyon]

u can resize the scroll object to Stretch

all the objects that are children should fit

[buoyant knot]

if you just copy paste this, the old value of walk speed will be reset/deleted, as walkspeed is now an autoproperty that targets k__walkingSpeed or somethjng

[rocky canyon]

this one on the bottom right.. will make it all fit within ur canvas

[quick summit]

hello

[frigid flume]

it don't work ^^

[spring quail]

Oh I see, a part of my code was like this at first because I followed a tutorial but I got a bit lost because I didn't understand how it works so I get back to what I know with this. I think I understand what you mean, I will try my best to go that way thanks !

[rocky canyon]

did u hold shift when u clicked it?

[hot wave]

is rigid body better than character controller?

[frigid flume]

neither works

[rocky canyon]

🤔 not sure then.. #📲┃ui-ux would be the place to figure this out tho.. as its not really code related

[rocky canyon]

neither is better than the other

both have different uses

https://medium.com/@shubhamsinghsengar8/rigidbody-vs-character-controller-which-one-to-select-for-your-character-player-1362b262b0bb
https://medium.com/ironequal/unity-character-controller-vs-rigidbody-a1e243591483

[hot wave]

hmm, it is difficult, they both have nice features

[rocky canyon]

as a beginner i would suggest CC

[spring quail]

Same, rigidbody can become a mess at first

[rocky canyon]

CC comes with ground checks, can walk up stairs, and can work with Trigger Colliders

Rigidbody comes with gravity, but thats it

ur coding the rest urself

[buoyant knot]

public => anything can read or write. We really do not want just anything to write because that introduces a lot of problems.

public int x {get; private set; }
this defines an autoproperty for x that allows anything to read x, but only the inspector or class that owns it can write to x.
That works, but is not serialized.

[field:SerializedField] public int x {get; private set; }
x is a property with an automatically defined backing field, and we want to serialize the backing field. So we can’t just use [SerializeField]. We need to use [field:SerializeField] for that attribute to specifically target the backing field, which we can serialize.

make sense?

[frigid flume]

thanks for your help, i'll try later

[buoyant knot]

in general, public fields are like public toilets. Everything is fine until someone shits in it.

[hot wave]

I do feel like CC lacks a lot of things compared to rigid, would like to try rigid body as well

[spring quail]

Thanks a lot for this explanation. I did not encounter that many problems with public for now because I don't do a lot of advanced projects. I understand, it's a bit heavy at first but it will definitely be useful

[buoyant knot]

dynamic rigidbody does a lot of things automatically that are annoying af.

kinematic rb struggles to handle collisions unless you have a custom kinematic solver.

[rocky canyon]

https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/physics/kinematic-character-controller-99131 ftw

[buoyant knot]

yeah. trust me: as your project becomes bigger, and you have multiple classes trying to change variables, and then you can’t find out when a variable changed or who changed it… it becomes a massive problem

[hot wave]

is combined?

[buoyant knot]

KCC is basically a custom physics engine for 3D

[rocky canyon]

ya, this controller is a Kinematic controller..

[buoyant knot]

one which is not shit for moving a player

[rocky canyon]

its the best of the rigidbody world

[buoyant knot]

my custom physics engine is inspired by KCC

[hot wave]

can I use KCC, if ok

[buoyant knot]

yeah, it’s free

[spring quail]

I see, I need to practice a lot

[buoyant knot]

one last random thing that might help you:
in visual studio, press ///, and it will autocomplete ///<summary> </summary>

write a comment between the two summary blocks. it is now a comment tied to the tooltip of the next class/struct/field/property/method

so if you mouseover the variable/method/class…, the tooltip will display that information

[rocky canyon]

i love summaries

use em all the time now.. so i get less confused when typin my functions

[spring quail]

Oh nice to know! thanks

[buoyant knot]

Example:
///<summary>This is the height of a jump. </summary>
[field:SerializeField] public float jumpHeight {get; private set;}

[tender stag]

the first one has a 20 in the z and it works because it sets the camera holder rotation to 20 on the z axis
cameraHolder.transform.localRotation = Quaternion.Euler(xRotation, yRotation, 20);

but here i use cameraPosition.localRotation.z and it barely sets the rotation
cameraHolder.transform.localRotation = Quaternion.Euler(xRotation, yRotation, cameraPosition.localRotation.z);

lets say i rotate the cameraPosition like 20 it only rotates the cameraHolder 0.1

[polar acorn]

localRotation is a Quaternion. The Z value of it has nothing to do with the Z coordinate in 3D space

[wintry quarry]

cameraPosition.localRotation.z never do this

[tender stag]

how would i do it?

[polar acorn]

It's a normalized four-dimensional vector

[tender stag]

like this?

[polar acorn]

Basically never deal with individual components of Quaternions unless you're a savant at complex number theory

[wintry quarry]

What are you trying to do? generally try to avoid euler angles. You can't generally isolate a single euler angle, they come as a set of three and are not independent of each other.

[tender stag]

yeah that works

[wintry quarry]

bettter but also likely to be problematic

[buoyant knot]

localRotation.z is like looking at one of the parts of a complex number, which is not the Z angle you want

changing between euler angle and quaternions is not a one-to-one transformation

[keen sorrel]

Im very confused about this function. How do i access the particlesystem that has collided? Or is there another collision function i should be using.

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

[buoyant knot]

the best way to handle quaternions is to never ever touch/read/write the internal values of a quaternion

[polar acorn]

You don't "access" a specific particle. If you could do that, it wouldn't be a particle it'd be a full object

[keen sorrel]

I mean particle system then, but i wanna be able to get its duration

[buoyant knot]

you want to almost exclusively create new quaternions via the various quaternion methods, and multiply quaternions together (which is like applying a rotation to a rotation)

[polar acorn]

The object with the ParticleSystem is what you get passed as a parameter

[buoyant knot]

particles are really bad at getting turned off individually by code

[polar acorn]

Assuming your script is on the thing getting hit by a particle, and not on the particle system itself looking for collisions with other objects

[keen sorrel]

The object passed is a gameobject, should i do getcomponent for particle system and use that?

[polar acorn]

Yes

[keen sorrel]

yeah thing getting hit

[keen sorrel]

Not trying to turn them off i want my character to follow a line of particles going towards the oldest ones

[polar acorn]

As the documentation says, it's of type GameObject because it behaves differently depending on whether this is on the particle system or the thing getting hit by the particles

[keen sorrel]

oh i see

[buoyant knot]

particles are really bad at being modified or read by the rest of your game

[polar acorn]

Yeah they're not really meant to ever be taken individually

[buoyant knot]

also, game behaviour should not be affected by graphics, ever

game logic changes world state, and you then render a graphical representation

i was working with a guy who made all the game logic for his game depend on animations. When the animation hit a certain thing, new things would happen etc… Very buggy

[rocky canyon]

thats a bit better tho.. atleast animation events are a thing.. not sure theres a particle event 🙂

possibly in VFX graph

i could see that..

[buoyant knot]

imagine if you skip to the next turn, and different gamelogic happens because the animations aren’t done

[tender stag]

why is this happening when i lean right if(Input.GetKey(KeyCode.E)) ```cs
float angle = isCrouching ? crouchLeanAngle : isCrawling ? crawlLeanAngle : walkLeanAngle;
float distance = isCrouching ? crouchLeanDistance : isCrawling ? crawlLeanDistance : walkLeanDistance;

if(canLean)
{
if(Input.GetKey(KeyCode.E))
{
if(!Input.GetKey(KeyCode.Q))
{
targetLeanAngle = -angle;
targetLeanDistance = distance;
}
}
else if(Input.GetKey(KeyCode.Q))
{
if(!Input.GetKey(KeyCode.E))
{
targetLeanAngle = angle;
targetLeanDistance = -distance;
}
}
else
{
targetLeanAngle = 0;
targetLeanDistance = 0;
}
}
else
{
targetLeanAngle = 0;
targetLeanDistance = 0;
}

float smoothAngle = Mathf.Lerp(cameraPosition.eulerAngles.z, targetLeanAngle, leanDuration * Time.deltaTime);
float smoothDistance = Mathf.Lerp(cameraPosition.localPosition.x, targetLeanDistance, leanDuration * Time.deltaTime);

cameraPosition.eulerAngles = new Vector3(cameraPosition.eulerAngles.x, cameraPosition.eulerAngles.y, smoothAngle);
cameraPosition.localPosition = new Vector3(smoothDistance, cameraPosition.localPosition.y, cameraPosition.localPosition.z);```

it only works when i lean left

[wintry quarry]

Because you're messing with euler angles

rule #1 of euler angles is friends don't let friends use euler angles

use quaternions and you won't have this issue

[timber tide]

xyz quaternion rotation

[wintry quarry]

Something like Mathf.Lerp with euler angles will lerp from -10 to 370 degrees by doing a full circle because it doesn't realize angles are cyclical and -10 and 370 are only 20 degrees apart

[tender stag]

so im lost

what should i do

[wintry quarry]

Use quaternions

[thick jetty]

i am having some issues with getting a unit to walk, been trying to figure it out and watched videos nothing is helping. not quite sure what to do, my next thought was scrap and start over again. but i wanted some input first i created terrain and a unit as a capsul i also created a new layer called ground and i baked a navmesh surface into the terrain so that the unit can walk from my knowledge the code is correct i have double checked it and even re wrote it and that is doing nothing

[tender stag]

so like this?

[timber tide]

technically with quaternions your goal is to rotate in a orderly way forever, so ideally in a fps you stick to x -> y -> z rotations

[thick jetty]

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

public class UnitMovment : MonoBehaviour
{
Camera camera;
NavMeshAgent agent;
public LayerMask ground;
// Start is called before the first frame update
void Start()
{
camera = Camera.main;
agent = GetComponent<NavMeshAgent>();
}

// Update is called once per frame
void Update()
{
    if(Input.GetMouseButtonDown(1)) 
    {
        RaycastHit hit;
        Ray ray = camera.ScreenPointToRay(Input.mousePosition);

        if(Physics.Raycast(ray, out hit, Mathf.Infinity, ground)) 
        { 
            agent.SetDestination(hit.point);
        }
    }
}

}

that is the code

euler angles are of limitted use unless you are in 2D

[timber tide]

eulers is fine for single dimensional rotations

but once you add that second rotation axis does eulers create gimbal

[buoyant knot]

the issues with angles is that they don’t commute

[tender stag]

i've got this but it doesnt work```cs
float smoothAngle = Mathf.Lerp(cameraPosition.localRotation.z, targetLeanAngle, leanDuration * Time.deltaTime);
float smoothDistance = Mathf.Lerp(cameraPosition.localPosition.x, targetLeanDistance, leanDuration * Time.deltaTime);

cameraPosition.localRotation = Quaternion.Euler(cameraPosition.localRotation.x, cameraPosition.localRotation.y, smoothAngle);
cameraPosition.localPosition = new Vector3(smoothDistance, cameraPosition.localPosition.y, cameraPosition.localPosition.z);```

""" cs using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.AI;

public class UnitMovment : MonoBehaviour
{
Camera camera;
NavMeshAgent agent;
public LayerMask ground;
// Start is called before the first frame update
void Start()
{
camera = Camera.main;
agent = GetComponent<NavMeshAgent>();
}

// Update is called once per frame
void Update()
{
    if(Input.GetMouseButtonDown(1)) 
    {
        RaycastHit hit;
        Ray ray = camera.ScreenPointToRay(Input.mousePosition);

        if(Physics.Raycast(ray, out hit, Mathf.Infinity, ground)) 
        { 
            agent.SetDestination(hit.point);
        }
    }
}

}

[tender stag]

its supposed to rotate 20 degrees

[thick jetty]

those instructions are terrible

[tender stag]

and it only rotates like 0.1

this will never work

[polar acorn]

No, it's your reading comprehension

[buoyant knot]

you are fucking with the contents of a quaternion

[buoyant knot]

if you fuck with a quaternion’s guts, the quaternion fucks with you

[thick jetty]

what is a back quote

[timber tide]

yo can I stop scrolling down every two seconds

[buoyant knot]

guys, stop with the giant code blocks
