I shared 2 scripts , sliding and playermovement

queen adder
#

Can you repost those? I dont really wanna scroll up and down lol

#

Also whats ur problem Hellio?

# queen adder Also whats ur problem Hellio?

as u can see in the vid , the player when sliding from any height like in the vid where im sliding from a ramp , the player doesnt go down the ramp and the player floats slowly down until the sliding timer runs out which doesnt look good , well if it was some sort of wizard game it would work i guess lol

(sorry for the delay in the answer). I'm trying to get to use events now for communicating changes and the getComponent<IHealth>() doesn't really follow that model. I think it's just about: choose one style and stick to it.

#

The beauty of storing live stats with the scripts is that you see them in the editor. E.g., the Health script can have a field which can be inspected. If I put everything into a separate object, then I would have to program all the inspection abilities.

I've not really looked into mesh colliders with submeshes, but I'd expect there's a way to combine it all, otherwise I guess you can always make two copies of the mesh (combined and separate) and just use the filter of the combined mesh.

Sorry brother

#

I'd say because when you jump, you're setting exitingSlope to true

#

So this if never happens
if (OnSlope() && !exitingSlope)
{
rb.AddForce(GetSlopeMoveDirection(moveDirection) * moveSpeed * 20f, ForceMode.Force);

        if (rb.velocity.y > 0)
            rb.AddForce(Vector3.down * 80f, ForceMode.Force);
    }
#

Then there is no force pulling it down (except gravity)

#

I'm probably wrong, but test it out

#

Keep in mind setting velocity and using force at the same time is likely to break at some point

#

because when you change velocity directly, you override any kind of force being applied

but the players one is trigger

It has a normal rigidbody and not a rigidbody2D right and make sure the colliders are the 3d versions as well

Ey, just a quicky here; if in a collision check I am checking if the object of collision has a component (for example TryToGetComponent<someScript>()) does it get it get the component even if it is dissabled?

meaning ur if statements never run @noble folio

# noble folio yes

Just in case you missed my edit, other does not have the PlayerVariables script on it
Other is the ball.
PlayerVariables is on the player, and so is the code checking the collision

timber tide
noble folio
noble folio
acoustic crow

#

Its because you set the touchingBounds bool to true and you have a if statement saying if (!touchingBounds) Move()

#

As you soon as you touch the bounds the Move() stops getting called

acoustic crow
#

i dlete this

image.png
summer stump
# noble folio ohhh

So since playervariables is on the SAME object as the one checking the collision, why do you even need to check for PlayerVariables?
Just have it assigned to begin with

acoustic crow
#

but the problem is physik

queen adder
#

Its still not working?

noble folio
queen adder
#

Sorry i didnt realize that sooner Forever

acoustic crow
#

No, I think it's because of how the rocket is built because when the wings touch the boundary, the tip can go up and because I'm flying to the left, I can't control the nose so that it flies down again, but I know not how I can do that

sooo I combined objects in blender, exported as fbx, and the mesh collider is properly on the object now... but when I go to pick up the object, it is still being weird

alright everything works now tysm

tender stag
#

how can i make this work while also having the yRotation only go from 0 to 360 ```cs
if(yClampRotation)
{
float left = yMidRotation - yClampLeftAngle;
float right = yMidRotation + yClampRightAngle;

Debug.Log("Left" + left);
Debug.Log("Right" + right);

yRotation = Mathf.Clamp(yRotation, left, right);

}

yRotation = Mathf.Repeat(yRotation, 360f);```

#

the problem is that when i have the yRotation = Mathf.Repeat(yRotation, 360f);

#

this happens

@twin ibex I highly recommend you to watch full harvard courses in Computer Science in FreeCodeCamp, also try to watch different tutorials in Game Dev in YT and you can also check courses in Udemy. You will learn a lot from there you will basically gain some useful information. After gaining that useful knowledge you will be able to work on your own projects and gain experience from there. The best practice to learn Game Dev and programming is by working on different projects on your own and getting errors to solve on your own. That's what I am trying to do as well with every resource I have available. Final and recommended it to get help here whenever you get a confusing bug to fix.

You need to use Range(0, 3):

  • Notice the absence of f which makes these numbers integers (of type int)
  • We go up to 3 because the integer version excludes the max value so this will return numbers from 0 to 2.

Sounds like you need inheritance. The base creature class should be abstract (so it cannot be instantiated), and each sub-category has its own class that inherits from the base creature class.
Implementing the specific behavior can be done using a method you override in the child class. Which means it should be also abstract in the base class.
So when you have a variable of type Creature and call the abstract method on it, it will select the correct subclass' method automatically

you don't have to make any object a singleton

should I have pokemon-type moves as scriptable objects??

Anyone have any ideas why this isn't working? The way i think it isnt working is that i have a debug.log for its state, and it never goes into moving to pheromone state. No errors though

        if (thisPheromone.tag == "phermoneF" || thisPheromone.tag == "phermoneS")
        {
            if (currentState == AntState.Looking_For_Food)
            {
                currentState = AntState.Moving_To_Pheromone_F;
            }
            if (currentPheromone == null)
            {
                currentPheromone = thisPheromone;

            else if (currentPheromone.main.duration > thisPheromone.main.duration)

                currentPheromone = thisPheromone;

If I set the rigidbody to Kinematic, everything works great. Initially it is set to false, and upon collision with a meteorite it is set to true, resulting in the destruction of the rocket. The problem now is that the limit no longer works because there is no rigid body that behaves as if it were dynamic. However, when I choose a dynamic rigid body, even if the gravity scale is adjusted, all the parts start to fall, or it happens that the parts do not move together. Here are all the scripts and a video.

Naturally this doesn't work, as there's still a SpriteRenderer assigned to Player2D. I genuinely have no idea how to do it :^( I should probably use the spriteRenderer in some way but not sure how.

Can someone give me some guidance for a second? Im pretty lost on how to fix the errors here, I have a random spawn for my enemies so i set it up to be stored in the script so it can be used in the patrolling script but it keeps being seen as an input for one, im getting errors for line 25 and 48 of the patroller code (first is patroller, second is spawner)

as i mentioned earlier.. u can make a function check if ur on a slope.. if u are on a slope set the physics material to the material with friction...
if theres no slope under ur feet set teh material to one without friction

how can i use the attribute on a enum?

short hazel
#

Use it on a field

#

Creating an enum does not make a field, it's as if you created a class in a class.
You need something like ```cs
[Space(5)]
public ClimbingStage clibmingStage;

#

(create a field of the enum type)

#
  • naming conventions: enum values should be in PascalCase: Start, Waiting, etc.

            }
            else if (bulletCount == 2)
            {
                Instantiate(bulletPrefab, spawnPositions[0].position, spawnPositions[0].rotation);

            nextFireTime = Time.time + fireRate;
        }
    }
}```

The problem lies in index being outside the bounds of array, but the problem only started happening when I attempted to use `Ship` prefab as reference in `Player2D`.

  void Start()
    {

//Set screen orientation to portrait
Screen.orientation = ScreenOrientation.Portrait;

//Set sleep time to never

missileIsRecharging = false;

      if(ship == null)
{
          ship = Instantiate(ship, transform.position, Quaternion.identity).GetComponent<Ship>();
      }
SpriteRenderer shipSpriteRenderer = ship.GetComponent<SpriteRenderer>();

      SpriteRenderer playerSpriteRenderer = GetComponent<SpriteRenderer>();
      if (shipSpriteRenderer != null && playerSpriteRenderer != null)
      {
          playerSpriteRenderer.sprite = shipSpriteRenderer.sprite;
      }

      transform.position = new Vector3(pos.x, pos.y + 0.2f, pos.z);

  }```
#

Am I accessing the array the wrong way? Is it possible I simply just didn't reference the Ship prefab correctly?

# 
public class Ship : MonoBehaviour
{
    // Ship specific properties
    public Weapon weapon; // Weapon
    public Transform[] bulletSpawnPos; // Bullet spawn positions

I assume the error is in the Fire method of the Weapon class

#

You're accessing spawn pos at index 3

#

you only have 3 elements in the array on the picture

👍

#

But how could I fix it

slender nymph
#

you remove that code entirely and use a better way to serialize deserialize

south fjord
slender nymph
#

but if you don't mind potentially exposing your players to malicious code being executed on their devices, then just cast to the type you need

south fjord
#

How would I do that

slender nymph
south fjord
#

just (int)?

slender nymph
#

cannot implicitly convert type 'int' to type 'int[]'

south fjord
#

rolls eyes

slender nymph
#

if you want to be snarky, then just read the error

south fjord
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

teal viper

#

but (int[]) should work then?

#

actually it wouldn't right

slender nymph
#

have you bothered trying it

#

Did you try?

south fjord
#

fair enough

slender nymph
#

also unrelated to the error, but deserializing in FixedUpdate is a yikes 😬

south fjord
#

south fjord
#

would update be better?

slender nymph
#

why would you do either? why would you want to read and deserialize the data every frame

But I would have a max tries

Recursion is fine too

frigid sequoia
eternal needle
#

yes

#

recursion is used more for solving data problems, but really recursion isnt needed unless you are doing functional programming. Iterative solutions are better and faster

sudden adder
#

I mean, she likely has a list with only a few things, unless there's tons of gameobjects calling this function itll never incur any noticable difference. Iteration is usually better in these instances tho but her solution seems to be just fine now

Also, I am pretty sure the thing I am doing should be stored on a scripteable object, but not sure how to do that actually, or if it even matters that it is instead an empty object in scene that stores it

I thought thats what you implied, nevermind

Just that the code AS IS, is not great

Seems fine, like he said just make sure you have something to break the loop.

frigid sequoia
#

So it probably needs to be optimized to be called with certain frequency and with some decent data to manage

sudden adder

If you want to change to a while loop as well that could work. I would go with whichever makes the most sense at the moment and change later if needed for scalability or performance

Ok, I changed the actual pool from where the powerUps are being drawed to only include availiable ones so it should be more efficient now. I am kinda worried for how I should handle stuff like, maybe in the future I want some powerUps to be avalible after some kind of achievement/unlock.... And I not sure my code can handle something like that right now

#

And I kinda want to address that now that changing it would be way less convoluted

#

Like, if a certain powerUp is avaliable is set on a bool on the powerUp itself, which makes it so... I cannot actually change it from the prefab, how shoud I manage this?

#

Should it just be stored somewhere else that I can change?

#

Cause I cannot assign a reference to a prefab to a script and modify parameters from it before it is instantiated right?

Guys this works the trajectory is fine but its too slow the target moves from its place by the time it reaches and when i increase velocity its trajectory changes, any ideas please?

is there an obvious reason why setting velocity works, but using MovePosition doesn't work? (for rigidbody2ds)

If I want to zoom in on an item when inspecting, should there be a new camera? or just move the main camera towards xyz? but problem is, I am using a character controller that is with the camera and moving the camera might move the characters also, and how would the code look like?

and if it is a new camera, would i make many cameras for each item?

Cinemachine is what you would want to use

It allows you to set up virtual cameras, and then just activate/prioritize the virtual camera you want the real camera to use. Cinemachine will handle the rest.

how do I go about passing the _gameGrid reference in GameGlobalScript to the static class GameTurnManager? it needs to be accessible for AdvanceTurn and many other functions yet to be written.

[ExecuteAlways]
public class GameGlobalScript : MonoBehaviour{
    [Header("GameObjects")]
    public GameObject _gameGrid;

    void Awake(){
        GameGridManager ggm = _gameGrid.GetComponent<GameGridManager>();

        // set up game grid
        ggm.Startup();
        ggm.TestPlayerCreate();
        ggm.CreateGrid();
    } 
}

public static class GameTurnManager{
    public static Dictionary<int, Player> Players {get; set;} = new();
    public static int CurrentTurn {get; set;} = 0;
    public static Player CurrentPlayer {get; set;}

    public static void AdvanceTurn(){
        CurrentTurn += 1;
        int PlayerIndex = CurrentTurn % Players.Count;
        CurrentPlayer = Players[PlayerIndex];

        foreach(GameTile tile in _gameGrid.Tiles){

        }
    }
}
teal viper
#

Like, why is it static? Where's AdvanceTurn called from? Why does it need the grids? Too many questions and no answers...

kind sentinel
teal viper
#

"being called from a ton of other prefabs script components" doesn't sound clean at all.

kind sentinel
#

it needs the grid class because each time the turn is advanced it needs to iterate over every GameObject in a list within GameGridManager

teal viper
#

Sounds like the opposite of clean. And you're helping make it so by giving everything a global access to it.

how do I implement someting where a car (or any mesh) gets rotated when I click on it and go back to its original rotation after, and assign an ID if it is a car or a broom or a carpet, if it is a car, it will be rotated 90 degrees from x, then back to the original value after clicking again, then for the broom, it will be rotate by 45 degreese in y, then back to its original value, then for carpet, rotated by 180 degrees in z, then back to its original value, the ID would be used so that i can just hook it to an object to tell how it would rotate when click, I am using this for learning purposes UnityChanOkay

i have the idea but cant put it into code

nimble scaffold
#

how are you all guys

kind sentinel
# teal viper "being called from a ton of other prefabs script components" doesn't sound clean...

how so? if there are a lot of objects that can be interacted with each turn, and once any one of them is interacted with they just call GameTurnManager.AdvanceTurn(); thats pretty clean right?
these gameobjects are dynamically created and destroyed by the GameGridManager class

each game tile prefab has this on it (stripped out code unimportant to this example):

public class GameTile : MonoBehaviour{
    //bunch of data stored here
    }

    void OnMouseDown(){
        //code for handling how this tile has been interacted with

        GameTurnManager.AdvanceTurn();
    }
hot wave
#

I was thinking of putting something like interactableID: toggleRotation 1 = 90,y,z, 2 = x,45,z 3 = x,y,15

then maybe assign the default rotations underneath like interactableID: defaultRotation 1 = 0,y,z, 2 = x,0,z 3 = x,y,0

#

but that wont work i think

teal viper
#

In fact, I'd just make gameManager hold an instance of a turn manager class, so as to not make it static.

teal viper
kind sentinel
hot wave
# teal viper Not sure what not sure what that represents? What is the toggleRotation? Are you...

there would be a lot of cars and brooms in the game i am planning to make, I plan to assign an id to them so they know how they would rotate if they are cars, brooms, or carpets when they are interacted in the interactable code, but still not sure if this is the best approach

this is a part of the interactor code to interact with the interactable (interactable will be where i assign the default rotations and id)

        {
            if (interactable == null || interactable.ID != hit.collider.GetComponent<Interactable>().ID)
            {
                interactable = hit.collider.GetComponent<Interactable>();
                //Debug.Log("New Interactable"); //something to check debug logs
            }
            if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Mouse0))
            {
                interactable.onInteract.Invoke(); ///this is where I would replace with the transform thingy
            }
        }

can you force the transform of an object to be const (immutable)?

#

theres some mysterious codes that trying to modify the position.y of a gameobject in scene

#

and i cant find the code

languid spire
#

is that not what happens when you mark a game object as static?

nimble apex
#

so , if i can force the transform to be a const, i can induce an error which terminals will tell me what is modifying it

#

ok i gonna try it

languid spire
#

not sure it will throw an exception though, probably not

nimble apex
#

its getting annoying it took 2 hrs already

#

it turns out that the spawn position is modifying by other scripts

#

the code are scattered all over the place

languid spire
#

sounds like very bad design

nimble apex
#

lemme give u an example

#

when handling server errors, you often have certain codes right?

#

each code is responsible for certain server error and maybe its handling

#

like http 404 is not found

#

its more like

case xxx
//do something
.... and keep going

#

we have these scattered across 10 scripts

languid spire
#

ouch

nimble apex
#

i asked my supervisor, why we scattered them everywhere

#
  1. some error code are exclusive to certain scripts, like the handling requires some local variables
  2. if u stuff all 100 error code into one place it is too long to read
#

but i found out , only 2-3 handling are exclusive, other 95+ errors can be gathered up

#

so its more on "stuff all 100 error code into one place it is too long to read"

languid spire
#

yep, sounds worse than 'bad design' sounds more like 'no design whatsoever'

nimble apex
#

theres no design actually, A in charge of this, he wrote there, then B take over and write more code there

let me give you 2 choices.

  1. Find the game object then getcomponent on that object
  2. Find the Component directly.

6yrs ago, the team decided to migrate it to unity

at that time, no experience unity devs in the team, so all codes are messy

and faulty

ebon robin

6 years abandoned?

nope

#

there are no standards for what code, what strucutre

basically u see what did ur ancestor do, and you do the same

the project is relatively huge

So how do I access a variable that's in another class and in different Game Object ? :(((

nimble apex

like var A , some ppl tend to put it on manager, some ppl tend to put it in other gameobject

just do a data manager for any object with big chunk of data

#

you shouldnt mind too much about premature optimization early on

pallid nymph

"inject" the component through editor or code - call its getter for the data that you want 🤷‍♂️ (or maybe I'm missing some details on why that's not the choice?)

make the variable public

I have a missile system, which moves an object from starting point to an ending point. I want to have multiple animation curves (X, Y, Z) that changes they way the object flies from A to B. Also, there is a scale. Scaling means how much the curve values (displacement along the up axis) are scaled. However, I can't make the missile to follow the curves for some reason. I tried to change Y Cruve and set scale, but it only changed the height of the total path. MissileManager -> Move has the function for this.

Using an icosphere and spawning a hexagon on each triangle could work too

Since this is supposed to be a planet maybe I could have them as the polar caps or something

Maybe just triangles are enough

the math bro ☠️

sharp bloom

Yea ikr

ebon robin

and then the debug part

#

I could just copy shit but I like to understand the math behind whatever I'm doing

I haven't tried it myself 😅 shouldn't be too bad (plus there should be a lot of info about all the stuff online...), but I can't say

#

I'll go ask ChatGPT to write it for me, lets see how that goes 😂 (don't do that at home!)

but still

math tends to be language agnostic 😛

hello, im having problem translating this from position to rotation

Vector3 dampingFactor = new Vector3(
    Mathf.Max(0, 1 - Damping * Time.fixedDeltaTime),
    Mathf.Max(0, 1 - Damping * Time.fixedDeltaTime),
    Mathf.Max(0, 1 - Damping * Time.fixedDeltaTime)
);
Vector3 acceleration = (((referenceObject.transform.position - gameObject.transform.position) * Stiffness) - Vector3.Scale(currentVelocity, dampingFactor)) * Time.fixedDeltaTime;
currentVelocity = Vector3.Scale(currentVelocity, dampingFactor) + acceleration;
currentPos += currentVelocity * Time.fixedDeltaTime;

gameObject.transform.position = currentPos;

Okay I think I got something going on here

Now I need to adjust the circle smaller and make many of them
