[buoyant knot]

you were told before to use the pastebin via bot. you were told again after ignoring the bot. Do not make that mistake again

[polar acorn]

Just use a bin

[buoyant knot]

quaternion.x does not mean an angle in x

[thick jetty]

what is a bin?

[polar acorn]

Did you read the bot you were linked to like six times

[buoyant knot]

read this

READ IT

man i wish i could post the gif of uncle ruckus forcing tom to read

[thick jetty]

https://paste.ofcode.org/gFVfcbpv9suCym7GSfnTVn

i used the URL that was linked

is that the correct way to do that?

[polar acorn]

Yes now what is the actual issue?

[buoyant knot]

that looks like a pic to me on mobile

[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

[buoyant knot]

anyway, this will not work, because you are messing with the insides of a quaternion. which we keep telling you not to do

[polar acorn]

Consider putting a log inside of your raycast and see if it ever actually hits anything

[thick jetty]

ok thanks. i will do that, where can i look in the editor for the log data. not new to programming. just very new to unity

[rocky canyon]

console

[thick jetty]

cool thanks did not see that it is small

[buoyant knot]

i read cornole

[rocky canyon]

cornhole

[thick jetty]

thanks now that you showed me there is a consol i am able to just debug it myself. appreciate it

Debug.Log("Hit: " + hit.collider.name) this is what i did. or is there a more specific thing i need to type for it to appear in the unity consol

[rocky canyon]

nah tahts about it.. fun fact u can use string interpolation to not have to use the " + " sign and spacing and everything

Debug.Log($"Hit: {hit.collider.name}");```

{variable}

[odd widget]

hello

[graceful oriole]

Hello, I tried to make a script to resize a grid layout (in ui scroll view) to fit any screen size. It works perfectly in the editor, but when I do a standalone build, it doesn't show the content of the grid layout (there is a list of prefabs and it shows only the root element of the prefab, but not it's children) Any ideas how to debug it?

RectTransform rectT;
    GridLayoutGroup layout;

    // Start is called before the first frame update
    void Start()
    {
        rectT = this.GetComponent<RectTransform>();
        layout = this.GetComponent<GridLayoutGroup>();
    }

    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update()
    {
        Rect rect = rectT.rect;
        float width = (rect.width + layout.spacing.x) / Mathf.Round((rect.width + layout.spacing.x) / (150 + layout.spacing.x)) - layout.spacing.x;
        layout.cellSize = new Vector2(width, width);

    }

I tried to but there new Vector2(100, 100) instead and it works (it doesn't do the resizing, but it renders all elements), but when I changed it to new Vector2(100 + width * 0, 100 + width * 0), it doesn't work anymore

Also, the width is probably right, because the width of the prefabs seems ok, but it renders just the gray rectangle and not the content inside of it.

[polar acorn]

Anything times zero is zero

[graceful oriole]

Yep, and * goes before +, so it is basically 100+0

But for some reason, it still manages to make a difference

[hot wave]

is normalize ok to use when using character controller?

or is there a better method to make diagonals same speed

[frosty hound]

Normalizing is the way

[hot wave]

okok

[unreal imp]

guysss why my tracer is wrong?

this is in the shoot IEnumerator TrailRenderer trailRenderer1 = Instantiate(trailRenderer); Vector3 startPosition = muzzle.transform.position; //Quaternion startRotation = muzzle.transform.rotation; Vector3 endPosition = /*startPosition + */muzzle.transform.forward * shootRange; trailRenderer1.transform.position = startPosition; //trailRenderer1.transform.rotation = startRotation; trailRenderer1.Clear(); trailRenderer1.AddPosition(startPosition); trailRenderer1.AddPosition(endPosition);

[short hazel]

Trail renderers renders trails automatically as object moves, you don't need to set its positions. If you want to use poistions, use a Line Renderer instead.

[unreal imp]

ok i will try 😉

[hot wave]

https://forum.unity.com/threads/input-delay-when-using-charactercontroller-move-function.713942/

this post had the same problem with me in normalize, it does not stop immediately after moving

but cant understand what they meant on the solution

[short hazel]

Basically, GetAxis does not immediately return say -1 when you press S, the value is smoothed out over a few frames. Same for when you release the key, it takes some time to go back to zero. So when you normalize, you have that remnant input until the value becomes exactly 0, and it can't normalize a zero-vector anymore
The solution is to use GetAxisRaw, that doesn't have any smoothing applied.

[lost anvil]

got this weird bug where if the player picks up an item the item gets added it to a list but when the player is moving and they try to remove it from that list it stay in the list and gives me that error at the bottom of the console

[hot wave]

I tried get axis raw and it worked thank you spr

I will use them from now on

[strong wren]

It might just be the visual parts of the editor that are struggling. I would probably grab the latest patch for your Unity version and see if it persists.
Seeing how you are removing and handling the dropping in general might be useful.

[lost anvil]

ill try that but in the meantime its really simple how im doing it.

[slender nymph]

does vs code not differentiate types and methods in syntax highlighting or is this unconfigured

[lost anvil]

unconfigured probably i dont know my brother set all this up for me like a week ago

[slender nymph]

!vscode

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

https://on.unity.com/vscode

[lost anvil]

you have any idea from the code i sent? im still stumped

[strong wren]

This certainly doesn't disprove that the editor isn't just struggling on its own, assuming this is a regular Remove on a List. I would grab the latest patch for your Unity version if you haven't already.

[lost anvil]

yeah ive got the latest stuff

[strong wren]

Do you have some custom editor stuff that could possibly be screwing with this stuff?

[lost anvil]

no its just the base editor

[strong wren]

Does the error occur if you don't have this object selected when you repeat the steps?

[lost anvil]

what do you mean selected?

[strong wren]

Having some other or no object selected in the hierarchy

[lost anvil]

lol what the hell, having nothing selected fixed it

i thought my code was wrong, sorry about that

[strong wren]

Because a lot of editor specific code related to that list doesn't run 😛

[faint sluice]

@lost anvil btw since you're already implimenting IPickable interface, you can skip the CompareTag step by using TryGetComponent

[strong wren]

It is still a bit odd that something as basic as this is broken in a patched version of Unity. Did you make sure to actually start the project with the latest patch you downloaded?

[lost anvil]

yeah

[lost anvil]

like TryGetComponent<IPickable>(); ?

[strong wren]

Unity editor stuff is quite extensible, so it's possible some thirdparty stuff you put in could be messing with some common Unity elements, but that's about as much I can say.

[lost anvil]

fair enough, ill look out for that in the future then

[slender nymph]

you should look at the docs to see how the method is used
https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Component.TryGetComponent.html

[faint sluice]

Yeah, and out IPickable current in the prantheses

If object has Ipickable component on it it will return true as well as the reference to that component so you can directly call current.Pickup(); inside the if block

[willow scroll]

Hello, how do I get the size of the RectTransform in world coordinates?

[slender nymph]

why in world coords?

[willow scroll]

because I need it for my current issue

[slender nymph]

yeah i was kind of expecting you to actually provide an explanation of the issue there.
https://xyproblem.info

[willow scroll]

which involves getting everything in world coordinates to avoid issues with parent transform

[faint sluice]

Didn't know there was a term for that, imma save that one lol

[willow scroll]

Well, no explanation is required here. I need to get the size of the RectTransform in world coordinates. I need it to avoid issues with localPosition that's being affected by parent's transform

[faint sluice]

What is the "issue"?

[willow scroll]

This isn't a xy problem, just a question

[willow scroll]

I have mentioned that local transform is being affected by the parent's

[slender nymph]

this does not make it any clearer why you are trying to do this

and if you would bother explaining why you are trying to do this, a proper solution can be suggested

[willow scroll]

I am making a panel being dragged inside of its view rect. Now, view rect has its coordinates being get though its Rect, but these min and max positions aren't working properly when the object is being affected by its pivot or parent, which should be fixed (and is on the halfway of being fixed) by using the world coordinates

[faint sluice]

Scroll rect doesn't work for what you're trying to achieve?

[slender nymph]

why would using world space coordinates for UI objects suddenly fix your issue?

[tender stag]

but this works

[willow scroll]

That's why I need to simply get the rect's size in world coordinates, which is not achievable via camera's ScreenToWorld

[willow scroll]

Because world space coordinates are affected by neither pivots nor parents

[faint sluice]

Generally speaking, UI doesn't and shouldn't care about world positions

[willow scroll]

why would it work?

[faint sluice]

Just asking, currently can't even figure out what you're trying to achieve

[slender nymph]

and UI objects are not in world space

[willow scroll]

Well, I have wasted enough of my time with those pivots and parents. I mean, maybe I'm just to bad with UI, still I think it's better to use world space, even if that's because I can't figure out the solution with local one

[willow scroll]

a draggable panel

If you press the "minimize" button on any of your windows, it's going to become smaller than your screen size and you can drag it

that's what I define as "draggable panel"

[timber tide]

IDraggable interfaces not good enough?

[willow scroll]

haven't ever heard about this one

[willow scroll]

Oh, I see, IDragHandler? I used it, it's trash

[timber tide]

It's just a buffer that sets the current dragged object and then you move the element with the pointer

[willow scroll]

anyway, the logic is the same as mine

[meager steeple]

i have a problem where when i use a toggle to change to windowed, i close the game and open it again, its still in windowed but the toggle is set to fullscreen.

[faint sluice]

Show how you're moving the object?

[willow scroll]

I used it before and found it better to simply use Input.GetMouseButton & Up, Down

[desert moon]

My bro is trying to make a character control system using a rigidbody. And it's nearly perfect other than the fact that it hangs up on walls. Anyone encounter something like that before?

[rocky canyon]

use a physics material with a low friction

[slender nymph]

give it a physics material with less or no friction

[willow scroll]

Vector2 potentialPos = _beginPos + (Vector2)_mainCamera.ScreenToWorldPoint(Input.mousePosition);

Vector3[] corners = new Vector3[4];
dragView.GetWorldCorners(corners);

Vector2 minPos = corners[0], maxPos = corners[2];

dragPanel.position = MathHelper.Clamp(potentialPos, minPos, maxPos);

now I've implemented it using world coords

[slender nymph]

"better"

[cosmic dagger]

FYI, localRotation.z is not the z axis of a Vector3, but a Quaternion, with a range of -1 to 1 . . .

[willow scroll]

Yes, IBeginDragHandler has a drag offset which makes it worse than GetMouseButtonDown()

[meager steeple]

please?

[tender stag]

why is this happening? ```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.localRotation.eulerAngles.z, targetLeanAngle, leanDuration * Time.deltaTime);
float smoothDistance = Mathf.Lerp(cameraPosition.localPosition.x, targetLeanDistance, leanDuration * Time.deltaTime);

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

[willow scroll]

The second reason is the threshold which isn't achievable with this interface, making my task impossible to solve with IDraggable

[tender stag]

it only does that when i lean to the right

so when i hold Q

[rocky canyon]

kickflip!

[cosmic dagger]

Probably from what I just mentioned above . . .

[tender stag]

so how do i fix it

i dont understand

what about this?

[slender nymph]

ah yes, draggable panels is definitely impossible to implement using the event system IDragHandler interfaces which is why nobody has ever done it before and why it is always recommended to do it the hard way by manually polling the mouse, checking its position to see what object it is on top of and moving, etc.

[rocky canyon]

i think it has to do with this

[faint sluice]

Now why would you use screentoworldpoint when screentoviewport is available?

[rocky canyon]

or maybe the angle part

[tender stag]

its not the distance

its the angle

[rocky canyon]

its probably doing a full 360 to get to that

[willow scroll]

Maybe I'm not really familiar with it, but how would you do a threshold with it?

[cosmic dagger]

You're using a quaternion rotation value where you want to use the Vector3 rotation value . . .

[slender nymph]

what threshold? keep in mind you have barely explained what the fuck you are actually trying to achieve

[tender stag]

so it would be this?
cameraHolder.localRotation = Quaternion.Euler(xRotation, yRotation, cameraPosition.localRotation.eulerAngles.z);

[buoyant knot]

generally, if you go quaterion => euler => quaternion, you probably messed up

[buoyant knot]

and that includes this

[cosmic dagger]

I haven't read the entire code but change it to the ruler angle z axis and test. It's a start . . .

[tender stag]

this works

[cosmic dagger]

Yeah, try that. This is using the correct angle . . .

[tender stag]

its the leaning thats not working

[tender stag]

yeah it works

[willow scroll]

The threshold is the distance from the borders of the panel where the drag can be started. Both positive and negative, where positive is outside of the panel and negative inside.

[tender stag]

but its still doing a spin

dont look at the distance look at the angle calculations

[cosmic dagger]

What axis is it spinning on? Zero out that axis and test if it still spins . . .

[slender nymph]

again, what does that even mean? distance for what? what panel? the one being dragged? are you saying you want the mouse to be within a specific distance from any edge of the panel? you have to actually explain what you are trying to do. nobody here can read your mind

[faint sluice]

It automatically detects using the raycast distance of the image on the object no?

[willow scroll]

no

[tender stag]

it works when i lean to the left tho

but when i lean to the right it starts spinning

[rocky canyon]

they both spin the same direction dont they?

[tender stag]

yeah

which they shouldnt

[rocky canyon]

yea i know... i know the issue.. just not how to fix it

[tender stag]

lmao

[rocky canyon]

its wanting to do a FULL rotation to get to ur negative angle

[tender stag]

yeah

[rocky canyon]

instead of rotating the opposite way of ur left lean

or right lean. (whichever ones working)

[tender stag]

left one is working

where you hold Q

[rocky canyon]

ill look around google a bit to try to find a solution for ya..

[desert moon]

That worked. Thanks!

[tender stag]

alright thanks man

[rocky canyon]

may have to use some other type of rotation method

rather than setting it directly.. theres different methods u can call that will rotate thats not setting the rotation manually

[willow scroll]

Let me draw it for you. The rectangle in the middle of the image is an UI Image. The yellow rectangle outside of it is a threshold. A user can drag the panel by left-clicking anywhere inside of this yellow rectangle and moving the mouse, while still holding the left mouse button.

That's why I've asked you whether it's possible to achieve this funtionality with IDraggable interface you were talking about

[wet relic]

hello everyone

[cosmic dagger]

Yes, you are able to . . .

[slender nymph]

yeah threshold isn't exactly the correct word for that. you want to be able to click outside of the object and still adjust that object's size. so what you can do to use the interfaces is make that inner panel a child of a transparent panel the size of the "threshold" as you put it. then you can use the interfaces to work with it by resizing that invisible parent

[rocky canyon]

   if(buttonPushed)
        {
            currentMousePosition = Input.mousePosition; // start updating currentPosition
            float dragDistance = Vector3.Distance(initialMousePosition,currentMousePosition);

            if(dragDistance < dragThreshold)
            {
                // we've dragged past our threshold
            }

            if(Input.GetMouseButtonUp(0))
            {
                buttonPushed = false;
            }
        }```
i have a similar system where I check the distance from the initial click position

[slender nymph]

why you would want to be able to start dragging while hovering over some other object or nothing at all is beyond me though

[faint sluice]

Xy problem

[rocky canyon]

buttonPushed goes true when i click.. and then once ive passed a certain distance from where i originally clicked.. i do my logic

[slender nymph]

that isn't exactly what they are trying to achieve though. they want to be able to start dragging from anywhere within the green bounds in their image

[rocky canyon]

but yea.. i also raycast on buttonPushed.. to make sure theres a selectable under it

[rocky canyon]

oh, ya thats odd

maybe just a buffer area?

[wet relic]

hello everyone i am new to game making so i wonderd if someone wanna help me:)

[slender nymph]

https://dontasktoask.com

[timber tide]

I only use the drag interfaces because you'd still have to poll in update otherwise even with the new update system

[wet relic]

whats this

[timber tide]

so I cant be bothered

[slender nymph]

read it . . .

[cosmic dagger]

@willow scroll I do agree, it is weird to click outside of an image and still drag it. What if they attempt to click/select a different image that is within the invisible threshold?

[tender stag]

i did it man

this is how

[rocky canyon]

what did u use?

[willow scroll]

Now, why would I make a script to Instantiate the parent's object for the object with the script and translate the script to this instantiated object in order to use the drag interface, which doesn't even start the drag unless you've moved your mouse a bit, if it's just better to use Input's GetMouseButton?

[slender nymph]

huh?

[tender stag]

i changed them from local variables

and also as the first thing

i passed themselves into the lerp

[reef totem]

hey can anyon help me im a bit stupid and i forgot how to code

[slender nymph]

there are beginner c# courses pinned in this channel

[faint sluice]

You totally misunderstood the assignment...

[rocky canyon]

lol.. they say dont do that.. ( as its improper way of using lerp ) but if it works for u then i'd say run with it

[reef totem]

alr

but i have a specific question

[tender stag]

yeah i know but im just gonna keep it for now

maybe in the future change it

[slender nymph]

okay then https://dontasktoask.com

[willow scroll]

My original objective was to make user to click inside of the panel, to make me create less object. Obviously, I've also made me able to adjust the panels to be clicked ouside too, as it wasn't a big change for the script

[rocky canyon]

/tableflip just ask the fuggin question 😄

The dragThreshold is a float though, I am using four directions. Also I'm not sure whether you're doing it with IDraggable interface

[rocky canyon]

im not.. its just methods and if conditionals running in update

i use distance tho... it doesnt matter which direction..

[willow scroll]

Yeah, so the logic is a bit different from mine

[rocky canyon]

its a radius from the selectable i click on

[rocky canyon]

thats fair..

[willow scroll]

I have to check wether the point is inside of the rectangle

[rocky canyon]

yea i realized after box clarified

[willow scroll]

That's why I was saying I didn't think it was achievable with IDraggable

[rocky canyon]

may have to roll ur own solution.. i've never used IDraggable.. i need to tho just so i kno what its all about

[reef totem]

sorry if im being confusing you guys i joined the server like 5 minutes ago but bassicly the problem that is being occured is that I have been wanting to make a level selector for my levels and im using buttons for that. and I put all my button funtions in a seperate class the only issue being that i cant access the functions froms my class

[faint sluice]

#💻┃code-beginner message

Pretty simple and easy to achieve it...

[slender nymph]

i gave you a suggestion for how you can achieve this with the interfaces. but you for some reason don't want to do that and would rather work with world space coordinates despite none of these objects even existing in world space

[rocky canyon]

are they public functions?

[reef totem]

yes

I can show you the code if you want me to

[willow scroll]

No, I have achieved the desired logic. It's overthinking, which needs more code written

[rocky canyon]

another thing.. that script w/ all the functions has to be on a gameobject in teh scene..

u drag that gameobject into ur button and then find the method

[slender nymph]

if you have achieved what you are trying to do, then why are you here?

[reef totem]

it is

[polar acorn]

Did you drag in an object with the script on it, or did you drag in the text file with code in it

[rocky canyon]

can u show the inspector of one of ur buttons? with this gameobject u say u have in the slot?

[reef totem]

shure

[willow scroll]

I have asked how to get the RectTransform's size in world coordinates. But you're trying to avoid this original question by criticising my code. Don't see why though.

[summer stump]

You cannot. That is the answer

[slender nymph]

because it makes no fucking sense to use world coordinates for any of this? none of the objects are even in world space

[polar acorn]

Your functions are there

[faint sluice]

You have created a Monobehaviour script inside another script

[reef totem]

no they are not because I want to find the function Load Level 1

[faint sluice]

Take that out and make it a seperate cs file

[polar acorn]

Because that's a different class

(that you can never actually use)

[reef totem]

why not

[buoyant knot]

you can only get a recttransform size in world coords in 2D in overlay view IF it is a sidescroller, and even then that information doesn’t always play nice

[summer stump]

Because it is in the same file as another class

[polar acorn]

Because MonoBehaviours have to be in their own file

You physically cannot add this component to an object

Meaning it's impossible you've dragged in an object with this component on it

[buoyant knot]

like you’d have to treat menus the same with the same methods as if you did not have the 2D camera overlay to relate screen-world space

[reef totem]

ok but what if I make that class a child of the main class

[summer stump]

Irrelevant

[reef totem]

ok then what are some possible solutions

[polar acorn]

That doesn't change anything. You'd still need to drag in an object with that component on it

[summer stump]

Just put it in its own file 🤷‍♂️
Super easy

[buoyant knot]

make a separate file

[polar acorn]

...don't try to put a class where it can't go?

[reef totem]

yea ig but then it will be a bit less unorganised

[polar acorn]

Why is this in the same script anyway

[rocky canyon]

more organized*

[summer stump]

You mean WAY more organized

[rocky canyon]

lmao

[reef totem]

I wanted to make it more organized

[polar acorn]

For that matter, why is this another class at all

[polar acorn]

Then you've done the opposite

[reef totem]

ye sorry i type quick

[buoyant knot]

putting more shit into one file makes it less organized

[rocky canyon]

tucking stuff inside other stuff is almost the definition of unorganized

lol

[summer stump]

Putting it in its own file is more organized
Having multiple classes in one file is unorganized, and doesn't even work

[buoyant knot]

you want more separate files with simple classes

[rocky canyon]

SOLID!

[polar acorn]

You've thrown the laundry into the kitchen cupboard and called it organized. Just because you can't see it doesn't mean it's not still a mess

[reef totem]

na because the way I see it is that my game very small so I just want to have the least amount of scripts as possible so I dont have to switch between them

[cosmic dagger]

You're functions are there but you have two MonoBehaviour classes in one file. That is the issue . . .

[buoyant knot]

i only combine classes into one file if one class is like <50 Lines of code, and if it makes a lot of sense to combine them

[summer stump]

That is the wrong way to see it. Period

[reef totem]

but if thats makes it unirganised then ig I have a lot of organisation to do

[polar acorn]

Here's the million dollar question: Why is this even a different class at all

[rocky canyon]

humour us and cut it up.. the bigger projects u make the more u'll end up trying to keep things seperate..

[polar acorn]

Literally why not just put the functions in the class you want them to be in

[rocky canyon]

single responsibility

[reef totem]

ok thanks for the help

[rocky canyon]

np mate 🍀

[buoyant knot]

well your preference is irrelevant to the fact that unity will not allow you to drag one file with separate monobehaviours, and separately pick one of the two monobehaviours, while accessing each

[lost anvil]

looked everywhere for a tutorial on how to create a super simple inventory system for my game, couldnt find anything. hoping someone can give me some pointers?
ive already got a system to add and remove objects into an array too.

code - https://gdl.space/otusuhoxiy.cs

[polar acorn]

You won't find a tutorial on a super simple inventory system because inventory systems are not simple

[cosmic dagger]

This is incorrect. Having two or three files as opposed to one will do nothing for your game . . .

[lost anvil]

yeah i dont mean like that

i mean just a scroll wheel one

by simple i mean basic

[buoyant knot]

unity links a file to at most one monobehaviour or scriptable object. If you want to drag and drop it around and keep it on a gameobject or asset file, they must be separate files.

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 https://hatebin.com/tirkcvzpum

[faint sluice]

All good mate no need to be sorry

[buoyant knot]

i’m on mobile, and that code is literally 3 screens of scrolling

[cosmic dagger]

That's very specific and would be hard-pressed to find. Maybe one of the tutorials would have that feature . . .

[unreal imp]

welp,this error is common and everybody knows how to solve it or is exclusive?

[faint sluice]

First off, horrible way to start coroutines...should avoid starting coroutines in update if you don't need to

For example
Here you can simply start coroutine for reload right under the line wherever your ammo count is being deducted by comparing if it's 0

[unreal imp]

i made that to make a clearer animation transition

[willow scroll]

No, you can get the rect's size in world coordinates it by calculating the difference between object's corners.

public Vector2 GetWorldSize(RectTransform rect)
{
    Vector3[] panelCorners = new Vector3[4];
    rect.GetWorldCorners(panelCorners);

    return (panelCorners[2] - panelCorners[0]) / 2f;
}

[slender nymph]

why does any of that need to be converted to world space for that?

[summer stump]

This is absolutely wild

[slender nymph]

or has this whole issue been because your "threshold" distance is in world space units for some reason

[willow scroll]

Exactly, I have explained how it's affected by pivot

[reef totem]

Hi im back after like 5 minutes because my code does not work again and yes now I have made a new script for loading all me levels is it okay if any of you guys help me. I will send a picture of my code right now

[slender nymph]

and that is not in world space . . .

[buoyant knot]

are you in 2D with an overlay camera?

[willow scroll]

Yes, so you get it now, right?

[willow scroll]

The pivot cannot affect anything in world space. It affects just local space.

[slender nymph]

i get that you are completely ignoring everything that everyone is telling you so i am just going to block you so i don't need to see or deal with your nonsense anymore 🤷‍♂️

[faint sluice]

Give reference of the object that's holding levelselector script on your button

[summer stump]

This is the definition of an XY problem
You are misundeeatanding a lot and trying to solve it incorrectly

[slender nymph]

do you even understand what the words "world space" mean? that is not the opposite of local space. world space is specifically the world coordinate system which is separate from Screen Space which is what your UI objects are in

[reef totem]

wdym

[slender nymph]

so this whole fucking issue has just been you misrepresenting what you are trying to do, willfilly ignoring what literally everyone has told you, then expecting anyone to understand with vague explanations that are just using incorrect terminology that further confuses the point

[buoyant knot]

world space = distance in meters.
screen space = distance in pixel.
canvas space = distance in resolution-invariant pixels

[faint sluice]

Which game object has the "levelselector" script on it?

[willow scroll]

Yes, do you understand that objects in screen space are affected by pivots and the transforms of their parents? This what makes it complicated to work with. Changing the pivot of the object can complitely mess up your script logic. That's the issue.

[reef totem]

its on a ui

[faint sluice]

Drag and drop that gameobject on your button

[summer stump]

Do you... know what a pivot actually is?

[reef totem]

i have

[willow scroll]

Yes, I do

[faint sluice]

Show entire inspector of your "ui" gameobject

[willow scroll]

See, your localPosition is calculated from your pivot

[willow scroll]

So it's gonna be the middle of the object if your pivot is (.5, .5) and its bottom left corner if its (0, 0), which required you calculating the offset to receive the real middle of the object

[faint sluice]

This doesn't have levelselector on it, you lied to me :v

[reef totem]

its on a panel and also forget about the other script its irrelevenet

[faint sluice]

Show that panel then

[reef totem]

yes it does its claed scene levels

called

[buoyant knot]

you understand that worldspace is in 3D, and canvas space is 2D?

[faint sluice]

I just wanna see there's an object with "levelselector" on it

[reef totem]

I just changed the name of the class

[faint sluice]

Ohh

[buoyant knot]

and going between world and canvas space requires additional information that you do not have in that function

[faint sluice]

You have to change the name of the class from inside too

Filename and classname should be same

[reef totem]

so i need to make the name level selector

or scene levels

[faint sluice]

No, just change the name of that class to SceneLevels now i guess

Or change the file name to LevelSelector

Whatever you like

Either is fine

[buoyant knot]

pivot is neither in screen space, world space, or canvas space. Pivot is dimensionless

[polar acorn]

the file name must match the class name

[reef totem]

ok ok

[buoyant knot]

which only matters if you have multiple classes in the file

otherwise unity can figure out “it’s the only one there”

[polar acorn]

Even if you have only one class in the file, that class name has to match the file name

Going forward, this will no longer be necessary, but as of the current LTS, it's still a requirement

[buoyant knot]

pretty sure not. source: I’ve gotten away with stupid shit before

[reef totem]

It works thanks for the help man

[buoyant knot]

you should adjust the file names to match regardless

[polar acorn]

If you're on the cutting edge release, it's not necessary, but there isn't an LTS version yet that dodges the requirement

[faint sluice]

That sounds dum, who died and approved that change

[slender nymph]

i thought the change was made in like 2022.2 so the filename requirement should be gone in the latest lts

[buoyant knot]

eitherway, we can agree that it is bad form to have GrandmaScript.cs contain GrandpaBehaviour : MonoBehaviour

[polar acorn]

Pretty sure its 2023.x which hasn't gotten an LTS yet

[faint sluice]

I'm using 2022.3 it's still a requirement here

[buoyant knot]

i’m pretty sure I have gotten away with changing my monobehaviour class name, without updating the filename

[faint sluice]

Probably doing it from inside visual studio with ctrl + r + r

It changes filename too

[slender nymph]

#1078093315435679784 message
changed in 2022.2

[cosmic dagger]

that's going to cause so much headache when everyone starts using it . . .

[faint sluice]

Ain't no way this becomes mainstream right?

[polar acorn]

Oh, huh. Neat. I thought I've had to deal with it this whole time but I've just been doing it out of habit

[buoyant knot]

i do, and no it does not change filename too

[buoyant knot]

you should do it out of habbit anyway

[faint sluice]

Huh weird, it changes for me

[buoyant knot]

so you should only find out if you fuck up

[buoyant knot]

i have been on mac tho

[slender nymph]

yeah there's really no need to not follow that convention, especially considering it's just a regular c# convention anyway. but at this point it's only convention and not a hard requirement anymore

[polar acorn]

Yeah, it's still a good idea to make the names match anyway

[faint sluice]

Ohh

[polar acorn]

Yeah, it just seemed like too big a change to be done in a minor revision so when I heard "You can now do this thing" I just automatically assumed it was a major version change

[cosmic dagger]

now people will have an issue with their Food class and send us a file named MomsSpaghetti . . .

[polar acorn]

I was in the process of installing 2022.2 to check, I didn't think of looking at the dev blitz days archive

[slender nymph]

that's where i'd first read about that change and I don't have any 2022 versions installed so I figured i could probably find the answer in there again

[slender nymph]

to be fair we don't typically see file names when people share code anyway so it's not a big deal 🤷‍♂️

[young lava]

Hi, short simple question. Does StopAllCoroutine stop all the coroutines in a script instance, or all coroutines on the gameobject the script is on?

[slender nymph]

it stops all the coroutines owned by that MonoBehaviour

[cosmic dagger]

all of the coroutines on the behaviour . . .
https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/MonoBehaviour.StopAllCoroutines.html

[faint sluice]

Same Monobehaviour

[cosmic dagger]

@young lava

[buoyant knot]

i never actually use that method

[cosmic dagger]

me neither . . .

[buoyant knot]

I almost exclusively keep a reference to the specific Coroutine, and turn it off manually

because I usually need to be able to know if the coroutine is running or not, to avoid running duplicates

[young lava]

I am probably going to do that tbh

[cosmic dagger]

it's much easier to track when you have a reference to it . . .

[buoyant knot]

usually:
private Coroutine despawning;
…
if (despawning != null) StopCoroutine(despawning);
despawning = StartCoroutine(Despawn());

Despawn coroutine sets despawning = null at very end

or
if (despawning == null) despawning = StartCoroutine(Despawn());

otherwise you have no clue wtf is going on, and can start duplicates of the coroutine, or not start it etc

and every time you call StopCoroutine, you set it null

so it effectively tells you if it is running or not

[young lava]

The problem I am having is I have state/action manager script. In that script I have a coroutine that pretty much tells how long a particular action should be locked for after performing an action. And I am running StopAllCoroutines in another script and it seems to be effecting the coroutine in my state/action script. I have some debug statements that are printing the actionLock booleans and as soon as I execute the StopAllCoroutines, the boolean remains toggled on which leads me to think that it is somehow stopping the coroutine in my other script. I will attach my code below.

State/Action Coroutines:

[buoyant knot]

for reference, my project has 38 calls for StartCoroutine, and zero StopAllCoroutines

don’t have a different script manage your coroutines

other script can call a method, and this class can manage its own coroutines

[young lava]

Code in charge of stopping coroutines. When I switch to the commented out code it works fine.

[buoyant knot]

ok, do the pattern I showed above

[young lava]

kk

[slender nymph]

do you just have some wacky theme that does not highlight types and method calls or is your IDE unconfigured 🤔

[buoyant knot]

you’re right. Ienumerator should be green

!ide

[young lava]

i will take a look at that

but lowkey I might still switch to manual like loup said thats better practice right?

[slender nymph]

yeah, it's probably going to work better to explicity stop the ones you want rather than using StopAll. but also how are you starting the coroutines? because if your StateMachine class is the one starting the coroutine then that is the one that owns that instance of the coroutine so that coroutine will stop when StopAllCoroutines is called on that MonoBehaviour

[young lava]

So pretty much I am calling stateMachine.SetAttackActionLockForDuration(randomNumber) in another monobehavior. specifically my script in charge of handling melee attacks. And the StopAll is being called in the same melee attack class which is the confusing part.

[buoyant knot]

yes. not keeping a reference to the coroutine makes managing it extremely difficult

[slender nymph]

wait so you aren't even using StartCoroutine? or are you passing the returned object from that method call to StartCoroutine?

[young lava]

Sorry I meant StartCoroutine()

[slender nymph]

yeah so if that is the same class you are calling StopAllCoroutines on then this applies: #💻┃code-beginner message

[young lava]

Ohhh so even if the coroutine logic itself is located in playerController, since I am running StartCoroutine in the WeaponController script, if I call StopCoroutine in the weapon controller it will stop the "playerController" coroutine?

[slender nymph]

correct because that MonoBehaviour instance is what is running that instance of the coroutine

[buoyant knot]

StopCoroutine lets you pick which coroutine specifically you want to stop

[young lava]

Thank you guys!

[buoyant knot]

StopAllCoroutines applies to all coroutines on that one instance of that one class

[young lava]

Yep definitely going to switch to full manual control!

[slender nymph]

also some info on how to properly use StopCoroutine https://unity.huh.how/coroutines/stopcoroutine

[vapid void]

I just started unity and this line of code gives me an error: if (LeftAction.isPressed())

[buoyant knot]

you won’t need the action locked bool either anymore

[slender nymph]

what is the error

[young lava]

whys that?

[cosmic dagger]

you should properly send us a pic of the error. that may help . . .

that code tells us nothing by itself . . .

[flint rock]

 private void OnCollisionEnter(Collision collision)
 {
  

     GameObject enemyObject = collision.gameObject;
   //  UnitCombat unitStats = enemyObject.GetComponent<UnitCombat>();
     bool disableDamage = false;
     print(gameObject);
     GameObject rootObject = gameObject.transform.parent.gameObject;
     rootObject.GetComponent<UnitBehaviour>().getUnitType();

  /*   if (health <= 0)
     {
         Debug.LogWarning(gameObject + "OBJECT DEAD");
         disableDamage = true;
     }
     
     if (_unitType == UnitBehaviour.unitTypes.Dummy)
     {
         print("OW! Took " + unitStats.damage + " damage from " + enemyObject);
     }
     else if (_unitType == UnitBehaviour.unitTypes.Melee)
     {
         print("Applying damage");
         unitStats.health -= damage;
         print("Applied damage: " + damage);
         
     }*/


 }

Why is this printing the name of the collision object, instead of the object that is the parent of this script? It should be printing the name of the object that is the parent of this script, pretty sure that's gameObject functionality. I can't decide if this is a glitch, or if for some reason Unity made the functionality of gameObject different inside of OnCollisionEnter vs outside of OnCollisionEnter, or I've made a very obvious oversight

[slender nymph]

correct. there is no isPressed method on the InputAction class
https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.inputsystem@1.0/api/UnityEngine.InputSystem.InputAction.html#methods

[cosmic dagger]

it's telling you that the isPressed method does not exist for the type InputAction. also, you should have a red squiggly error line in your !ide. if not, make sure to configure it . . .

[desert moon]

Ok, recording this with recorder, the jitter is even worse than it was before. I've decoupled the camera object from the camera rig and tried to have it match an object's pos/rot. But there's a jitter. The player offsets a consistent distance. I have a feeling it could be because the camera might be a frame behind.

Anyone encounter something like this?

[slender nymph]

yeah this is likely due to updating the camera at a different rate or before the object during the frame

[desert moon]

Could it be because the character is using a rigidbody to move?

[slender nymph]

possibly. you've not shown any info about how you update the camera's position or at what rate/part of the frame

[buoyant knot]

because if the coroutine sets its own Coroutine to null, then you know if it is running or not based on whether that variable is null

[desert moon]

public class ActorCamera : MonoBehaviour {

    public ActorBase user;

    public void LateUpdate ()   {

        transform.position = user.transform.position;
        transform.eulerAngles = new Vector3(user.lookAngle.x,user.transform.eulerAngles.y,0);
        MainCamera.singleton.UpdatePos();

    }


}```
Here's the script that operates the Camera Rig.

[young lava]

ahhh ic tyty!

[desert moon]

public class MainCamera : MonoBehaviour
{
    public static MainCamera singleton;
    public Transform targetObject;
    Rigidbody rb;

    // Start is called before the first frame update
    void Start()
    {
        MainCamera.singleton = this;
        rb = GetComponent<Rigidbody>();
    }

    // Update is called once per frame
    public void UpdatePos()
    {
      rb.position = targetObject.position;
      rb.rotation = targetObject.rotation;   
    }
}

And the main camera itself.

I have a hunch. Maybe I need to add a rigidbody to the camera rig too and have the rig script operate that instead.

[slender nymph]

oh god no, don't do that

my suggestion would be to use Cinemachine

and you probably want interpolation enabled on the rigidbody if it isn't already

[desert moon]

On the player rigidbody?

Is it bad that I'm plugging in the movement values to the rigidbody velocity directly?

[unreal imp]

Sorry for responding late but then how do I apply the UnFreezeAnimation to my code with the reload? In this example it works fine but it reloads instantly and I don't want that but for it to run an animation that plays after 0.25 seconds or so and then reloads when it runs, but if I apply it I get the usual error of consuming my bullets. ammo after reloading if (currentClipAmmo <= 0 && currentAmmo > 0) { Reload(); }

i was thinking like this but still with the same error public IEnumerator UnFreezeAnim() { isReloading = true; yield return new WaitForSeconds(0.5f); gunAnimator.speed = 1; yield return new WaitForSeconds(0.3f); Reload(); }

unfreeze animation is an anim which resume an animation state

when the ammo clip is below or same as 0 the animation plays

and get freeze until the ammo is more than 0

to that ammo the clip is refilled and then unfreeze the animation

i cannot shoot

now i applied the if (currentClipAmmo <= 0 && currentAmmo > 0) { StartCoroutine(UnFreezeAnim()); }

instead of the reload one

[earnest forge]

Does anyone have a solution to unsubscribe all interactions from an Action in the unity new input system?

[wintry quarry]

You could just disable the action

[tender stag]

how does one handle stairs and steps on a rigidbody movement system

i tried looking online but couldnt find anything

only videos about character controller

[ripe shard]

You’d have to make a collider that has a ramp instead of the stairs/step. other approaches are hacks or would be using a kinematic approach. If you care to see a good example for handling it kinematically, checkout the (free) kinematic character controller asset

[tender stag]

i saw a way where a person does it by finding contact points

might try that

and then calculating if the contact point is higher than x amount from the bottom of the player

[ripe shard]

Yes, but that’s custom physics, aka the kinematic way

whatever you do, in some way, you are converting the steps to a ramp

question is just which abstraction for that you use

[desert moon]

Can anybody follow up on this?

[silk night]

In itself no its not bad, maybe clamp the values to -1 - 1 but I cant think of any bad sideeffects

[heavy current]

can someon help me i dont now what this is

[silk night]

There may be some wonky physics Interactions but you will have to finetune any movement method eventually

[desert moon]

You did not set the variable

[heavy current]

what was that again ?

[polar acorn]

The variable groundCheck of PlayerController has not been assigned. You probably need to assign the groundCheck variable of the PlayerController script in the inspector

[wicked stratus]

    {
        if (beginFunction)
        {
            if (timeLeft > Time.deltaTime)
            {
                gameObject.GetComponent<SpriteRenderer>().color = Color.Lerp(gameObject.GetComponent<SpriteRenderer>().color, colorToChangeTo, Time.deltaTime / timeLeft );
                timeLeft -= Time.deltaTime;
            }
        }
    }

I have a sprite that I'm trying to transition smoothly from 255 opacity to 20 when the player triggers a collider, but I'm struggling on how to make it slowly change to that over say a second, rather than immediately. When I look it up, I see a lot of use of the Lerp function, and I think I kind of understand how it works conceptually, but in practice this isn't working. I've set timeleft to 1f. nothing is happening, though. im sure I'm missing something easy, but i could be wrong. can someone help?

[polar acorn]

First off you should definitely cache a reference to SpriteRenderer. GetComponent is slow and you're using it twice per frame

[heavy current]

i´m still a beginner and have no idea what that all is

[polar acorn]

Second, Color uses values between 0-1, not 0-255. All opacity values over 1 are fully opaque

[polar acorn]

Do you know what an inspector is

[low path]

Half the convos in this channel:
Q: I don’t understand this error message.
A: it literally tells you what to do. You assign a value to the reference.
Q: what’s a reference?
A: it’s a value that refers to an object in your game and can be assigned to a variable.
Q: what’s a variable?
A: it’s a thing in C# whose value can change at runtime.
Q: what’s C#?
A: it’s Unity’s scripting language.
Q: what’s that, I’m new.

[wicked stratus]

oh, right. thank you, I'm very rusty

[heavy current]

yes

[polar acorn]

Okay, every other noun in that error message is something you made so if you know what an inspector is you should be fully capable of following what it's saying

[heavy current]

yes i just dont know what groundcheck is

[polar acorn]

If only people were that upfront about which things they don't understand in the explanations. Usually it's just "wdym" for hours

[polar acorn]

You made it

It's a variable you put in your script

[queen adder]

i have a python script that fills a json file with data, how do i execute the python file and wait until the python file finishes the execution?

[heavy current]

but groundcheck is nowhere there

[polar acorn]

How are you intending to run a python script at all

[polar acorn]

Really? Show your PlayerController script

[wicked stratus]

ok, I've cached the reference to the spriterenderer and changed the alpha values into floats between 0-1, but it's still not working.

    {
        if (beginFunction)
        {
            if (timeLeft > Time.deltaTime)
            {
                spriteRenderer.color = Color.Lerp(spriteRenderer.color, colorToChangeTo, Time.deltaTime / timeLeft );
                timeLeft -= Time.deltaTime;
            }
        }
    }

Is the issue with the timeleft being 1? I don't know why it's set like that, but it seemed to be a common trend.

[queen adder]

theres an api

[heavy current]

public class player : MonoBehaviour
{
public float speed = 5;
private Rigidbody rb;
public float jumph = 5;

// Start is called before the first frame update
void Start()
{
    Rigidbody2D rigidbody2D1 = GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>();
    
}

// Update is called once per frame
void Update()
{
    float richtung = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal");
    transform.Translate(Vector2.right * speed * richtung * Time.deltaTime);

    if(Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Space))

    {
        rb.AddForce(Vector2.up * jumph, (ForceMode) ForceMode2D.Impulse);
    }
}

}

no groundcheck

[queen adder]

i can easily run the file

[polar acorn]

I don't know why you're showing me this

I asked for PlayerController

[rocky canyon]

thats not PlayerController script anyway

Huh, that's new. I didn't know that was a supported thing. I'm not sure if there's a way to wait for it

[rocky canyon]

the error u shown is not about the script u just pasted

those are different scripts..

[polar acorn]

Your error is mentioning the PlayerController script. Show it.

[rocky canyon]

u have a script in ur project somewhere called PlayerController

u showed us player

[queen adder]

oh, i guess i just have to add something to the JSOn that c# reads

[polar acorn]

Yeah, I don't see anything about using it asynchronously or getting back a status. I think you'll just have to keep trying the data until it ends up with all the stuff you need it to have

[rocky canyon]

wait a minute.. so i can run python scripts now using my unity editor 👀

[low path]

Can’t learn if you don’t ask good questions…

[polar acorn]

Yeah, looks like it's meant for editor scripting

[heavy current]

Collider2D[] colliders = Physics2D.OverlapCircleAll(groundCheck.transform.position, 0.2f);
isGrounded = colliders.Length > 1;
}

[polar acorn]

Don't think you can run it in-game

[heavy current]

this ?

[polar acorn]

That is a line that contains groundCheck

But where are you setting it

[rocky canyon]

thats crazy... yea thats fine.. really cool to know tho..

[elder osprey]

I don't understand what I am doing wrong in this script, I am trying to apply a custom acceleration speed to the player with a rigidbody, but currently the player isnt moving at all. Here is my movement code: ```cs
void FixedUpdate()
{
Move();
}
void Move()
{
Vector3 velocity = rb.velocity;
Vector3 desiredVelocity = new Vector3(moveInput.x, 0, moveInput.y) * speed;
float maxSpeedChange = maxAcceleration * Time.fixedDeltaTime;
velocity.x = Mathf.MoveTowards(velocity.x, desiredVelocity.x, maxSpeedChange);
velocity.z = Mathf.MoveTowards(velocity.z, desiredVelocity.z, maxSpeedChange);

rb.velocity = transform.TransformDirection(velocity * Time.fixedDeltaTime);

}```

[polar acorn]

general_grievous_adding_lightsaber.gif this API will make a fine addition to my collection

[heavy current]

CheckGround(); this?

[wicked stratus]

This code is still not working when I set the bool to true. I think it's due to my misunderstanding of what timeleft is- my understanding that it was possibly the framerate? but either way it's not doing anything

[polar acorn]

Log velocity after you set the Z, see if this code is running and what value it's running with

[wicked stratus]

is something like this colorToChangeTo = new Color(spriteRenderer.color.r, spriteRenderer.color.g, spriteRenderer.color.b, 0.02f) valid code?

[polar acorn]

You've got quite a few if statements there. Is this line of code running at all?

[wicked stratus]

let me see, it ought to

[rocky canyon]

very interesting code tbh

[wicked stratus]

yes

[rocky canyon]

at my state of knowledge id have to take time to debug that to even know how it functions

ur subtracting the time between frames from timeleft.. until timeleft is less than the time between frames?

[wicked stratus]

    {
        if (beginFunction)
        {
            Debug.Log("1");
            if (timeLeft > Time.deltaTime)
            {
                Debug.Log("2");
                spriteRenderer.color = Color.Lerp(spriteRenderer.color, colorToChangeTo, Time.deltaTime / timeLeft );
                timeLeft -= Time.deltaTime;
            }
        }
    }

both log statements are hit

[rocky canyon]

🤔

[elder osprey]

Its printing all zeros, for some reason the velocity variable isnt changing at all.

[rocky canyon]

do ur inputs work?

[wicked stratus]

😭 that's probably it. I'm not sure what it ought to be

[rocky canyon]

yea thats what it looks like.. but logically.. i dont know how thats useful

lol

[polar acorn]

If both log statements are happening then that line is running. Instead of logging "2" try logging some useful infromation: Debug.Log($"Changing {Time.deltatime / timeLeft} percent of the way towards {colortoChangeto}");

[wicked stratus]

one moment

[rocky canyon]

ohh its just a basic percentage counter

[polar acorn]

If it's printing all zeros then the velocity is all zeros.

That would explain why it's not moving

[elder osprey]

I know, I don't know why, because the code is supposed to increase the velocity.

[rocky canyon]

are ur inputs working correctly?

b/c if not.. ur desiredVel is gonna be 0

[elder osprey]

Yes, I just checked

[rocky canyon]

ok thats the only thing i got sorry

[wicked stratus]

looks like it stops at .68 for some reason

the alpha component hasn't changed at all, though

Should i be using color32

[spring coral]

i have a script attached to a prefab and this script has an id associated with it, if i grab the script/id (as the prefab reference itself, not the instantiated prefab) will it cause any problems?

im not manipulating the prefab, just need to read some data from it

[wicked stratus]

wait, when I trigger it again, it stopps at .93

either way the opacity is not changing.

[rocky canyon]

if ur only reading i'd say why would it?

but u know my skill - level so take that as u will

[spring coral]

was scared some things might not get initialized or something but makes sense there wouldnt be a problem tbh

just had to double confirm, thanks!

[wicked stratus]

Is this even the right approach to try to change a spriterenderer's opacity smoothly

[rocky canyon]

ya.. from what im reading it says make sure NOT to modify it

[wicked stratus]

im sure there's gotta be an easier way

[spring coral]

yeah treating it as a read-only source as a prefab

[rocky canyon]

i use color32

its easier for me to visualize

im familiar with 0-255 not so much 0-1

if (timeLeft > 0) what happens if u use this conditional instead.. so it'll lerp until time is fully exhausted

instead of stopping once its lower than the framerate

[wicked stratus]

let me try that. I'm going to switch to color32 since it works better in my brain too

[rocky canyon]

👍 make those two changes and see if some magic doesnt happen lol

[elder osprey]

Oh, I know why its wont move now, its changing velocity by an acceleration of 1 * Time.fixedDeltaTime

[rocky canyon]

wait. im not sure if u can use Color.Lerp for Color32s

[elder osprey]

So increasing the acceleration fixed it.

[rocky canyon]

u making a snail simulator?

😈 lol

[wicked stratus]

I made some changes and now it works. thank you. thank you also digiholic

[rocky canyon]

nice! good job

[wicked stratus]

ah wait- it doesn't reach the desired amount at the end of the timer, but i need that to happen

[rocky canyon]

even with the > 0 conditional?

[polar acorn]

When the timer ends, set the color directly to your target color. A wrong-lerp smoothing never actually reaches the target

you have to do that manually

[wicked stratus]

ah ok I see, thank you

[rocky canyon]

& ohh thats true..

[timber comet]

anyone that knows how to check for "any key" pressed with the new input system? (from any type of device)

[rocky canyon]

 if (Keyboard.current.anyKey.isPressed)
        {

        }```

lol.. nah not really

ahh u ninja edited, now my joke doesnt work

[wicked stratus]

it's a bit too choppy, still, it goes from ~150 or around that to abruptly changing to 255. Should I change the final argument in lerp to something else? Is time.deltatime/timewait the culprit?

[polar acorn]

Probably. I'm not entirely sure what that's supposed to be doing

As that number approaches 1, your color approaches the target

[wicked stratus]

I'll try some floats it is still clear i am not sure how to handle the last bit

[rocky canyon]

https://gamedev.stackexchange.com/questions/207353/unity-new-input-system-what-is-the-correct-way-to-check-if-any-button-from-an

this thread looks like it may have a way to detect if any of ur controls u set up in the action map have been pushed

[timber comet]

not really what i was searching, but thank you anyway

[rocky canyon]

ya, i didnt see hardly anything from my different few google searches sorry

[wicked stratus]

oh! got it

awesome

thank you both

[rocky canyon]

has to be possible tho.. b/c thats the purpose of the new input system.. scaleability

[timber comet]

yes probably, you can see the new Input System is still very young

[rocky canyon]

yo, why wouldnt that work?

if u have all ur different inputs under different action maps u can just run multiple of those conditionals.. checking all the action maps u have set up

    {
       //doo thang
    }else if (inputActions.actionMap.GamepadScheme.WasPressedThisFrame())
    {
       //doo thang
    }else if (inputActions.actionMap.TouchpadScheme.WasPressedThisFrame())
    {
       //doo thang
    } ```

idk, i promised i'd start using it and i havent yet :d

[timber comet]

kinda more difficult to use then the old, it's less intuitive

[rocky canyon]

i like the old too, but so far ive only made keyboard input games

kinda a restriction at this point in time

[timber comet]

I really hope that works, otherwise I'm gonna need to write a lot of lines of code

[elder osprey]

I am experiencing an issue, the accelerationMultiplier is changing the entire speed instead of how fast the player accelerates in the desired direction, so lowering the accelerationMultiplier is just lowering the speed. Here is my movement code currently: ```cs
void FixedUpdate()
{
Move();
}
void Move()
{
Vector3 velocity = rb.velocity;
Vector3 desiredVelocity = new Vector3(moveInput.x, 0, moveInput.y) * speed;
float maxSpeedChange = speed * accelerationMultiplier;
velocity.x = Mathf.MoveTowards(velocity.x, desiredVelocity.x, maxSpeedChange);
velocity.z = Mathf.MoveTowards(velocity.z, desiredVelocity.z, maxSpeedChange);

rb.velocity = transform.TransformDirection(velocity * Time.fixedDeltaTime);

}```

[rocky canyon]

😄 i can already picture it

lol

you need to calculate ur aceleration seperately

and then add it to the velocity

[rocky canyon]

yea, i cant do the math off the top of my head.. but ya i think u need to calculate the accel seperately.. add it to the velocity.. and then 👇

but then ur gonna need to clamp ur velocity afterwards so it doesnt exceeed ur maxSpeed

[pallid nymph]

acceleration should be a vector and be clamped properly... with this code you'll accelerate faster if you move diagonally, no? (or maybe I'm just sleepy)

[rocky canyon]

the ole.. normalization?

is that not a side- product of TransformDirection? probably not lol

[pallid nymph]

why you need to do transform direction I'm also not sure...

I can come up with an explanation but... code very borked and not quite sensible (sorry)

[rocky canyon]

iono, maybe he came across the issue where his velocity/direction is locked to world space

when he wants it local space (we cant see his rotation code)

[elder osprey]

That is exactly why I am using it

This is my rotation code cs Vector3 projectedCamForward = Vector3.ProjectOnPlane(Camera.main.transform.forward, Vector3.up); transform.rotation = Quaternion.LookRotation(projectedCamForward);

[rocky canyon]

ya, i guessed b/c thats the only time i ever use it 😄

[pallid nymph]

so... you need to TrnsformDirection the input... then convert it to acceleration (multiply by acceleration mp and deltaTime I guess)... then add to rb.velocity... and then clamp the rb velocity

[rocky canyon]

~~ // make acceleration calc
float accelerationX = Mathf.MoveTowards(velocity.x, desiredVelocity.x, maxSpeedChange) - velocity.x;
float accelerationZ = Mathf.MoveTowards(velocity.z, desiredVelocity.z, maxSpeedChange) - velocity.z;

// apply to vel
velocity.x += accelerationX;
velocity.z += accelerationZ;

// clamp
velocity = Vector3.ClampMagnitude(velocity, maxSpeed);~~ nvm then

i think this would work

[pallid nymph]

it will accelerate faster diagonally

[rocky canyon]

ohh yea i ignored that completely

but so did he 😄

[pallid nymph]

maybe it's a feature! 😛

[rocky canyon]

maybe he does it in input

[elder osprey]

wdym?

[rocky canyon]

unless u normalize ur vectors ur gonna travel faster diagonally than u do forward or lateral

[elder osprey]

I'm using the new input system

So the input is already normalized

[pallid nymph]

that doesn't matter

[elder osprey]

Oke I can do that.

But I am experiencing another problem

[elder osprey]

This code currently doesnt fix the problem, as the acceleration is still not functioning as acceleration, instead it is setting the speed to whatever the maxSpeedChange variable is.

[rocky canyon]

i made a graph as to why the normalization is needed

u can see right is 1, up is 1.. but if u add them.. ur at (c)

which is longer than the other two..

normalizing puts it at the orange dot... so every direction is equal

[rocky canyon]

hmmm, it was a long shot. as i was typing it out in notepad w/o my editor 😦

translation doesn't respect physics

its basically teleporting.. so theres times when it'll teleport too far on a given frame.. and clip into walls and stuff.. (then it just gets yeeted out the other side)

[crystal cipher]

ok

some how else i can move it?

[rocky canyon]

if u want accurate physics.. u need to use a rigidbody to move it

and rigidbody functions..

[pallid nymph]

and be prepared to be spending a lot of time on it

[rocky canyon]

or if its a simple enough game.. u can set up boundaries. (like if its position is less than this X) allow it to move..

[crystal cipher]

how?

[rocky canyon]

if its over that position only let it move the opposite direction.. (but thats gets nasty)

[rocky canyon]

its pretty involved, id suggest u look up a tutorial on how to move rigidbody's in unity

you can use functions like rigidbodyReference.AddForce() but the way ur already calculating speeds and stuff u could manualy set the velocity of a rigidbody..
rigidbodyReference.velocity =

just would require a bit of tweaking to ur setup to add the components u need

Hi, i have a string that has a public getter but private setter. how do i actually set it lol?

public string mainAbilityName { get; private set; }

mainAbilityName = "Name";
that dont work lol

[slender nymph]

that absolutely would work inside a method in that class

[summer stump]

It is simply private. It works the same as any private variable/method
It can be set from within the same class, but not from outside

[thin hollow]

so it needs to be in a method?

[slender nymph]

you cannot just have random statements floating around in the class

[thin hollow]

what if i dont want it to be in a method, but i still want it to be privatly set, publicly get

[slender nymph]

you can initialize it with a value by appending the assignment to the end of the declaration like public string Name { get; private set; } = "Name";

[thin hollow]

ah ok thats it

thank you!

[slender nymph]

otherwise you have to assign it in a method

also note that will not work for properties declared in structs

[thin hollow]

btw how to u do that code tag in discord

Hello! Is it possible to bake lighting during runtime? If I have a map generated randomly and it never changes, bake the lights before the game starts?

[hot wave]

I have been experimenting with brackeys 3d character controller, and it doesnt have drag and momentum, I kind of want to code it using character controller because I want to avoid problems involving rigid bodies, would that be possible? but everytime i try to add velocity or easing speed, it doesnt apply it, as if it is only moving the vector 3 of the object and moving it around the map, and no physics thingy

it is using a quaternion thingy, but i dont know how to hook that or integrate it so i could make easing speed up or speed down on keydown or keyup

It is like I know how the code should look like (but i could still be wrong) but I cant put it into code

[frosty hound]

The CC requires you to pass in a velocity for the frame. How you calculate that velocity is entirely up to you.

You can do whatever you want, speed it up, slow it down, change directions.

[hot wave]

would easing speed up and down also work? if i stopped pressing w, it would slide easingly after

[frosty hound]

You can do whatever you want

[hot wave]

could you give me a hint on how it could work, I want to figure it out on myself as well, I am confused, but I have a feeling Mouse look has influence over the movement in character controller? where should I look in the code to start adding easing speed up and down?

if ok

[frosty hound]

It's a complex and big topic.

You need to have a strong understanding of vectors

[hot wave]

okok, also, this was in mouse look, is it ok to copy the code and add it in character controller? it is a diff script, or can i import it easily?

[frosty hound]

Again, you can do whatever you want

Unfortunately that means you can do whatever you want

[hot wave]

I will try, thank you steel

How do Displays work? Im currently using a camera to focus on a small region of the screen and put it on display 2. I don't actually want the user to see this display, Im just using it to take screen captures. Im not fully sure I understand how it works, Im reading that someone with multiple monitors would be able to see it, is this right?

[slender nymph]

just render the camera to a render texture instead of a display

[supple citrus]

If I set a render texture will it not go to a display?

Sicne there isnt a none option

[manic geyser]

how do i know if a number between -1 to 1 is closer to -1 or 1?

[oblique ginkgo]

if n > 0 its closer to 1 if n < 0 then its closer to -1
if n == 0 its neither

[manic geyser]

okay but

this worked before when i did .GetAxis, but now i have the raw input from a joystick instead

[oblique ginkgo]

raw input from joystick is likely analog float, so youll get like 0.93564
getaxis is digital, 1 or -1 or 0

[manic geyser]

i guess roundtoint would be best then

to best replicate GetAxis

[oblique ginkgo]

what if the joystick is less than half pressed to a direction

then it rounds to 0

[manic geyser]

yes that is why i'd rather have it always return -1 or 1 when theres an input

[oblique ginkgo]

so then check if its above or below 0

above 0 means 1
below 0 means -1

and if its 0 then theres no input

[manic geyser]

i feel like there probably is some math function to do all this inside the if statement. maybe

but this pretty much does it

[oblique ginkgo]

you dont need the roundtoint there

[manic geyser]

oh forgot that one

[oblique ginkgo]

also, x can be an int

instead of float

[slender nymph]

just use Mathf.Sign

[oblique ginkgo]

that.. also works

[slender nymph]

you'd have to check for 0 though since unity's Mathf.Sign returns 1 for 0

[real falcon]

I'm having difficulty with movement code again, I still can't get it perfect

it has this weird property where what I think is happening is, when you turn you slow down

and so then when you stop turning, you immediately go back to full speed

which FEELS glitchy

I thought it was like framerate weirdness for the longest time

but I think it's because when I turn, it adds some new velocity in a different direction, rather than like "turning" the vector idk

the code I have right now is pretty simple in theory, it takes player input and adds a vector to the player's velocity based on that, then adds a friction vector that's opposite to the current velocity

[supple citrus]

Can we see it

[real falcon]

the code?

[supple citrus]

Yeah

If its slowing down then I'd guess something in the friction vector is doing it

but I cant say until I see

[real falcon]

// The desired velocity (input with length of acceleration)
Vector3 wishVec = inputVector * groundAcceleration * moveForce;

// Draw velocity
Debug.DrawRay(transform.position, playerVelocity * 2, Color.yellow);

// Friction factor modifies friction based on stuff like sliding
//float additionalFriction = playerVelocity.magnitude / 10f;
additionalFriction = 0f;

playerVelocity += wishVec * 0.01f;
        
// Friction
Vector3 fric;
fric = playerVelocity * (friction + additionalFriction);
     
playerVelocity += fric * 0.01f;

controller.Move(playerVelocity * Time.deltaTime);```

this is basically the whole thing minus the mouse code and jumping

inputVector is just WASD but it's localized to where the player is looking

[supple citrus]

If you were holding two keys at the same time, would there be 2x the velocity which would lead to a higher friction?

I don't know how youve gotten your 0.01 multiplier when adding the friction, but maybe theres a point at which the friction increases faster than the velocity so you actually have a higher resistive motion (friction) when you go faster (turning)

[real falcon]

I don't think the keys add together, I normalize the input vector

as for the 0.01 I think my project is weirdy small or something

the smallest increment I can move things with the gizmo arrows seems a bit big idk

[supple citrus]

Probably a Screen vs World issue

[real falcon]

im not sure why the friction would go faster since it's just a proportion of the velocity

also this seems to happen specifically when im holding W and one of the strafe keys

and then turning the mouse to do kind of a sharp turn

I actually tried it in DUSK and surprisingly it seems to work like that there too, but it's less jarring there and I'm not sure why

[supple citrus]

So its doing the opposite of what strafing usually does and slows you down xd

So when you don't move the mouse, it doesn't slow down?

[real falcon]

I mean it does in the sense that im changing direction

I wonder if it's less noticible in DUSK because its acceleration is a bit slower

I mean it makes sense intuitively

I'm turning into a new vector that's not pointing in the same direction as the old, of course it's gonna slow down a bit

im just not sure why the acceleration once I stop moving the mouse feels so harsh

[grizzled zealot]

[vale karma]

is there a 'getkeydown' feature for the new input system? im having trouble finding the right implementation for only allowing a single jump, and pressing the escape key for a pause menu

[sterile moon]

This is a script I found online for a realisitic car controller, I've been reading through it to understand how it all works, but, I can't figure out how the hell its getting input from the keyboard to know what to make the car do. They did say they use the old input system, but I'm unsure what that is or what to look for in that case

https://hastebin.com/share/liligidejo.csharp

[sterile moon]

It should be Input.GetKeyDown(); isn't it, or is that the old system

[vale karma]

thats old news

[sterile moon]

Ah, interesting, what the hell is the new system then

[slender nymph]

whatever is getting input is in a different class

[queen adder]

this is a really new question but how would i connect a scene to another scene?
like if i wanted a player in a certain area of a attack to go to a seperate scene
would i just trigger a scene if player in area?
srry english not very good

[sterile moon]

The entire download to this is linked in the description of this video, I have looked over all his code and can't seem to find it. I'd love some help, as I'm wanting to play with the settings to see how I can improve the handling.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WjT1acvP9pc&t=7s

[vale karma]

i tried using waspressedthisframe but that only changes a bool to true once and keeps it like htat. i need something that checks every frame if the esc key (or whatever input is routed there) to pop up a pause menu, and press again to close. Atm my code only reads the value as a button, so if i hold the button down, or not tap super quick, the UI flashes off and on really fast

[slender nymph]

yeah i'm not downloading that

[slender nymph]

you'd have to show your code to determine what you are doing wrong

i want only my speed to show but it seems like the text also shows how it decreases to zero and im not sure how to fix that, i just want it to display the walk speed or sprint speed etc

[slender nymph]

and where are you checking the input? also you should really rename that Ctx variable, it is not clear from the name alone what it is or what it is used for

[vale karma]

it references the statemachine script

[slender nymph]

show your code

[vale karma]

im probably not gonna change that part bc its too much to change lol. i understand it so far and dont want to screw up the toothpicks holding up this establishment haha

[cinder crag]

its just a TextMeshPRoUGUI

[vale karma]

https://paste.mod.gg/wwnfdpfxymeg/1 part of my state machine

[slender nymph]

well that's certainly not very helpful. but of course if you just show the magnitude of flatVel then you'll just see the magnitude of that in the text

[vale karma]

you could do two if statements consisting of if magnitude reaches a certain threshold it will display this text, and then vise versa for the other speed @cinder crag

[slender nymph]

most likely they have two variables that they just want to choose from. of course they decided to only show that single line instead of all of the relevant code

[queen adder]

Whats up J-bear?

[vale karma]

if (Keyboard.current.escapeKey.wasPressedThisFrame) <- this is a workaround. Id rather the keybinds be 'bindable' by the player later on in the game. but this is okay for now since i only need one or two

[queen adder]

I see you typing BOY

[vale karma]

hiya

i ate a 1g distillate edible i made, waitin to see if it works lol

[queen adder]

Keybdings be bindable? Do you mean its supposed to be able to change to a different key later in the game?

[vale karma]

yes

[queen adder]

I mean being able to change what keys trigger the actions should be its own class

So ur other scripts shouldnt really care what key is being pressed. They should only key care about the Input Action itself being raised / Triggered

I remember you saying as well that ur jump wasnt working. Were you able to figure it out?

[arctic ibex]

Quick question, what's going on here?

[slender nymph]

you need to yield return in a coroutine

oh

okay

Why? Is that just how they work?

[slender nymph]

if you have no need to yield then you do not need a coroutine

[arctic ibex]

I guess that's fair enough

[unreal imp]

guys how i do for move the slide of the gun because i tried this but doesnt works slide.transform.position = new Vector3(slide.transform.position.x, slide.transform.position.y, slide.transform.position.z - 1);

[teal viper]

It's because IEnumerator is the return type of the method. You know, if you declare a method with return type, you need to return something.

IEnumerator is a bit special in that instead of return, you need to yield return.

[teal viper]

It should work. If you don't see any changes, then something else myst be resetting the position.

Or slide is not the object you expect to move.

[queen adder]

how is this possible? And what is the solution

void OnCollisionEnter2D(Collision2D coll)
{
    currentdirection = Vector2.Reflect(rb.velocity, coll.contacts[0].normal);
}

[sour fulcrum]

I assume not but does anyone know if Physics.IgnoreCollision works on prefab assets when you instansiate them

[teal viper]

Hmm... That would imply that there are no contacts(the array has 0 Length). Log the contacts Length

[queen adder]

oh havent thought of using the length

dunno what causing onEnter to not catch who touched it though

is this common?

[teal viper]

No. Doesn't sound normal

[teal viper]

Just to be sure, can you also use GetContacts and see what it returns?

[queen adder]

lemme see

[teal viper]

You need to allocate an array and pass it in.

                    Vector3 forceDirection = rb.position - hit.point;
                    
                    // Apply the force to the Rigidbody
                    rb.AddForce(forceDirection.normalized * explosionForce, ForceMode.Impulse);
                }
            }

    }

[faint sluice]

Which line is line 26?

[summer cave]

Should have pointed that out lol

if (Physics.Raycast(ray, hit.transform.position, raycastDistance, layerMask))

Also for 18 as well

FireRayCast();

[slender nymph]

what is hit and where do you assign it

[faint sluice]

Also i see we are good friends with GPT

[summer cave]

Hit is RaycastHit hit

[summer cave]

maybe :I

[slender nymph]

and where do you assign to it? because just declaring it does not give it valid RaycastHit with a non-null transform property

[faint sluice]

Where do you assign it

[slender nymph]

hint: you shouldn't be using hit at all for determining where the Raycast is at. you should be assigning it using the raycast

[queen adder]

    void OnCollisionEnter2D(Collision2D coll)
    {
        ContactPoint2D[] contacts = new ContactPoint2D[10];
        var c = coll.GetContacts(contacts);
        Debug.Log($"{c}");
        foreach(var item in contacts)
        {
            Debug.Log(item.otherCollider.transform);
        }```this fine for testing?

[teal viper]

Yes

[slender nymph]

was this code AI generated?

[summer cave]

Most of it no, Im just new to it so Im reading docs and using AI

by assign do you mean what lines its being used on?

[slender nymph]

yeah fuck outta here with your AI generated code. it is against the rules to ask for help with AI generated code #📖┃code-of-conduct

[summer cave]

mb

[slender nymph]

no, i mean assign to it. if you do not know what assigning something is then you should stop what you are doing and instead go through some basic c# courses like the ones pinned in this channel

[queen adder]

@teal viper im catching nres here(in the logs) and cant null-check, how to properly use it?

[teal viper]

I think a contact is a value type, you don't need to make a null check.

[queen adder]

oh maybe just the othercoll is catching the nre

[teal viper]

To make it reliable, change that to a for loop and only iterate up to the returned length

[teal viper]

Yeah, probably

Really, you only need to debug the length of the contacts array

though, the fact that other collider is null might be giving some clues

If it's an uninitialized contact point, then obviously it wouldn't have a reference to the other collider

[queen adder]

there's some 0

[teal viper]

weird...🤔

[queen adder]

maybe because my skeletons have cheaper rbs?

then on the player is

[unreal imp]

in update: if (!outOfAmmo && currentClipAmmo <= 0 && currentAmmo > 0) { slide.transform.position = new Vector3(slide.transform.position.x, slide.transform.position.y, slide.transform.position.z - 1); StartCoroutine(MoveBackToOriginalPosition()); } the other method: ``` IEnumerator MoveBackToOriginalPosition()
{
yield return new WaitForSeconds(0.5f);
float elapsedTime = 0f;
float duration = 0.5f;

    Vector3 currentPos = slide.transform.localPosition;

    while (elapsedTime < duration)
    {
        slide.transform.localPosition = Vector3.Lerp(currentPos, originalPosition, elapsedTime / duration);
        elapsedTime += Time.deltaTime;
        yield return null;
    }
    slide.transform.localPosition = originalPosition;
    Reload();
}```

[faint sluice]

I don't think that matters, as that only checks how often collision should be checked, and oncollisionenter is called if it detected a collision only

[teal viper]

I don't think that's related.

[faint sluice]

@queen adder just in case can you manually spawn 1 skeleton, and drag it with your mouse to collide with your player? See what gives the error?

[queen adder]

tried to make them similar, doesnt killed the 0 contacts

lemme try

[teal viper]

Weirdly, I find discussions about the issue back from unity 5. And no single official reply.

[queen adder]

but yea, i noticed it only occurs when the player is being swarmed

[teal viper]

Maybe it's just a bug that went under their radar for a long time..?

Might be worth filling a bug report.

[queen adder]

when many things push the object, the first thing that touched it lost reference

[teal viper]

Ah, but you're using a legacy version...

It could be fixed in the supported versions I guess

[faint sluice]

You are using 2017 editor might be older issue, maybe upgrade it to latest LTS versions?

[unreal imp]

i love you ❤️

[faint sluice]

No dummy, that was just simply a late valentines confession

[foggy crypt]

Hello
I want to make a code, that allows the player to press space if he stays in zone.
But for some reason trigger works only if I spam the Key, which is Space

I made an empty GameObject that refferences as the zone
And a Player with box collider and rigidbody

public void OnTriggerStay(Collider other)
{
    if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Space))
    {
        pressSpace = true;
        StartCoroutine(spawnManager.SpawnBubbleFish());
    }
}

Sometimes when I launch the game it works properly
But sometimes it requires spam

[faint sluice]

` not '

[faint sluice]

Don't know how often the ontriggerstay is called, but you would normally just use a bool to check if you are in zone or not

And in update do "if(inzone) -> allow key to be pressed"

Like
ontriggerenter inzone = true
Ontriggerexit inzone= false

In update
If(inzone)
{
If(onkeydown)
{
}
}

[foggy crypt]

Okay, that worked!
Thanks.
But how can I make inzone = false, when I leave the zone?

[faint sluice]

Ontriggerexit

[foggy crypt]

Yup, works perfect, just how I wanted it to.
Thank a lot

[faint sluice]

What i suggested above was remove ontriggerstay and replace it with
Ontriggerenter and ontriggerexit

Hope you used ontriggerenter lol

[unreal imp]

Nope,help me

[teal viper]

In that case, comment out all the other places that change the object's position and see if it works.

[unreal imp]

Welp yeah,the IEnumerator MoveBack is executed (or well,the reload method)

But not the translate xd

[teal viper]

I don't see "translate" method being used anywhere

[unreal imp]

^ I was wrong, it's

[abstract marlin]

Im Curious why this Problem happens. Im Doing Unity Learn and im at Essentials of Real Time Audio.
Downloaded the Foundations of Audio Pack , did an URP 3D Template and imported it. Game Scene Looks Good.
So every time i press play i just fall through the ground .
Tried adding a cube as ground with Y at like -0.1 but still i flot through the ground... what am i doing wrong ?
All i literally did was Import -> Open and Press Play

[uncut shard]

Does your player have collider?

[uncut shard]

yes

[abstract marlin]

well i gave him 1 now on the basic settings but then youre spawning on the roof and cant get into the premade pack scene , Y Pos of it is at 0.144 if i change to 0.143 he drops through the ground , everything higher im just spawning on the roof... something wrong with the premade unity pack...

[uncut shard]

@abstract marlin are u talking to me

[abstract marlin]

i answerd on sexyyounggod , so no
I mean its a Premade Unity Learn Pack why do i even have to make twerks to it ...

[faint sluice]

Tbh I don't even know what the scene is looking like or what player is doing and what components does it have , can you show video?

[abstract marlin]

Which Program is used here to record videos ? only posted code and pictures , never did videos

[faint sluice]

I guess it's fine, just show screenshot of your player hierarchy?

[abstract marlin]

I Also did Read some comments about the pack especially at the testing part of unity learn from that , others had blurry images etc , but no one was just dropping through the scene

when i press start i can say byebye to the gamescene from below 😄

[faint sluice]

I meant inspector aaaaa my bad, show the inspector of your player lol

[abstract marlin]

the "Controller" is absolutely basic at the opening of the pack , but it doesnt say anywhere that u have to mod it...

[faint sluice]

There has to be some rigidbody in it...it wouldn't fall for no reason

See the child

[abstract marlin]

oh i didnt looked at the childs , gimme a sec

[hot wave]

for best practice, which part of the fbx should I rotate, the mesh or the name? (like say it is Chair, and underneath it is Chairfbx, which one should i rotate and scale?

[abstract marlin]

the last picture are the missing settings of the player that didnt fit into the first pic anymore

[faint sluice]

Probably none? Don't we use the mesh provided from fbx and use it in mesh renderers?

[hot wave]

I dont know what that is the mesh was 100 times larger than it should be and is rotated

[faint sluice]

Ok so your first person controller handles gravity logic for you. And it's "ground" layer is set to "default"

What layer are your floor colliders set at?

[faint sluice]

No clue then, but again this is coding channel and this has nothing to do with code.. try asking in #🔀┃art-asset-workflow

[abstract marlin]

you mean this one ?

[hot wave]

ah, okok I forgot

[faint sluice]

Is that the only collider stopping your fall?....

There's no other collider for floor?

[abstract marlin]

carpet itself looks like this , when i select floor i get second picture

i dont know where else i should look for it , i mean every tutorial was premade and nothing to twerk , why do i even have to manage this as a beginner just using a tutorial course of unity ?

[faint sluice]

Ok so looks like the colliders in the scene aren't set properly to the size of renderers,

Since you're just trying out the scene try adding a large ground-esque box collider in the scene and make sure the layer of it is set to default

[abstract marlin]

did this cube , is that what u meant ?

gave z a 0.001 and turned off mesh renderer , still falling down

ill come back to this tutorial , maybe someday someone updates the download version so it works again , ill just go through an audio video of unity on yt, thanks anyways!
i would have loved to go through that but if its bugged in the 2021 version ill just miss out of the experience 😄

[quick kelp]

   {```
am trying to make a notes inventory but i and into this and kinda have no clue whats wrong

[gaunt ice]

public void Methdo(int a,b)

[hot wave]

    {
        RaycastHit hit;

        if (Physics.Raycast(Camera.main.transform.position,Camera.main.transform.forward, out hit, 2, interactableLayermask))
        {
            Debug.Log(hit.collider.name);
        }
    }```
when i do raycast, it does not detect fbx that have interactable mask, but works with cubes or spheres

why does it do that

it works fine with the cubes inside unity, so I tried making my model, but it doesnt seem to log

ah, I needed to add a box collider

[lavish gate]

Solved?

[quick kelp]

no

[lavish gate]

what type do you want selectedSlot to be?

[quick kelp]

both cause this is the ui slector script

[lavish gate]

public void OnSlotSelected(ItemSlot NoteSlot , ItemSlot selectedSlot) {

try this

Why do you need it to not be monobehaviour?

[static bay]

What are you trying to do exactly?

[lavish gate]

Lmao i just typed "hmm" and it deleted it

[timber tide]

otherscript script = new()

where exactly are you creating this other script otherwise

[static bay]

So you have some instance of "otherscript" elsewhere and you want "classname" to have it too?

do you know about constructors?

[timber tide]

c# course time

[static bay]

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/programming-guide/classes-and-structs/constructors

Then this should be what you want.

[timber tide]

thing with jumping right into unity is that you don't use constructors with monos

[static bay]

Just keep in mind that Monobehaviours CANT have constructors because Unity mumbo jumbo.

But for regular classes, all good

[timber tide]

so you miss out on a lot of fundamentals

[static bay]

all good

[static bay]

I remember starting out with a visual scripter called Playmaker 🙃

good times

I remember being very scared of arrays with that plugin.

Thought they were too complicated.

hey, for some reason when the log is ran, the value of currentGasoline is set to 0, instead of subtracting it by a random value between 15-31. it also isn't updating the text in the component. how can i fix this?

using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.UI;

public class GasolineManager : MonoBehaviour
{
    public int startingGasoline = 100;
    private int currentGasoline;
    public UnityEngine.UI.Text gasolineText;

    private void Start()
    {
        LoadGasoline();
        UpdateGasolineUI();
    }

    private void LoadGasoline()
    {
        currentGasoline = startingGasoline;
    }

    private void UpdateGasolineUI()
    {
        gasolineText.text = currentGasoline.ToString();
    }

    public void DecreaseGasoline()
    {
        int decreaseAmount = UnityEngine.Random.Range(15, 31);
        decreaseAmount = Mathf.Min(decreaseAmount, currentGasoline);
        currentGasoline -= decreaseAmount;
        UnityEngine.Debug.Log("Decreased Gasoline. Current Gasoline: " + currentGasoline);
        UpdateGasolineUI();
    }
}

[static bay]

public class ClassName
{
    private Otherscript script;
    
    public ClassName(OtherScript otherScript)
    {
        script = otherScript;
    }

    public void Method()
    {
        //Can now use the variable "script" here without issue.
    }
}

When you create an instance of ClassName though, you'll need to "pass in" an OtherScript variable.

Is what not everything?

[faint sluice]

How many times is that function called?

[dusky dirge]

just once

on click

[faint sluice]

Do this first

Print initial value before decrement
Then print the value to be decreased right after mathf.min

And then print the remaining value after subtraction is done

[dusky dirge]

good idea

[static bay]

Where are you creating ClassName to begin with? On a Monobehaviour?

[polar nova]

Can someone help me fix this problem? I've been at it for hours and haven't found a solution.

[queen adder]

just add ```cs
if(target)
{
// everything in that method
}

[polar nova]

Where do I add this in my script?

[static bay]

Actually just for some clarification, when you write out classes, what you're effectively doing is making a "blueprint". If you have a class called Apple and give it a bunch of fields and methods, you're creating a blueprint for an Apple. What you ACTUALLY work with in code are objects, which use these blueprints to define what data they store and what they can do.
So when you do...

new Apple();

You're creating a new INSTANCE of an Apple. Aka an object that has used that Apple blueprint you wrote to define what it can do/store.

[queen adder]

inside the method with the error, then put everything inside

[static bay]

Do you know what the error means?

[ivory bobcat]

Target is null

[polar nova]

yes, but I am dumb and dont know how to fix it
