Not saying it's bad since I haven't tried it yet, but I personally can't think of any advantages this would give that using components wouldn't... so far

[pallid nymph]

show code again please, it's too far up and I got lost 😅

[rich adder]

GetComponent<T>().Something.GetComponent<T>(). idk just seems like a code smell waiting to happen or something

[stuck jay]

public class Health : MonoBehaviour
{
    [HideInInspector] public GameObject damageDealer;
    public int currentHealth;
    public int maximumHealth;
    private bool canBeDamaged;
    private float cooldownTimer = 0.2f;

    {
        currentHealth = maximumHealth;
    }

    void Update()
    {
        DamageCooldown();
    }


    public void TakeDamage(int damageValue, GameObject gameObj)
    {
        if (canBeDamaged == true)
        {
            currentHealth -= damageValue;
            damageDealer = gameObj;
            canBeDamaged = false;

            if (currentHealth <= 0)
            {
                Death();
            }
        }
    }

    public int damageAmount;

    void OnCollisionStay2D (Collision2D other)
    {
        Health otherHealth = other.gameObject.GetComponent<Health>();

        if (otherHealth != null)
        {
            otherHealth.TakeDamage(damageAmount, this.gameObject);
        }

public class XPOnDestroy : MonoBehaviour

    public int xpValue;


    void OnDestroy()
    {
        LevelSystem damagerLevelScript = GetComponent<Health>().damageDealer.GetComponent<LevelSystem>();

        if (damagerLevelScript != null)
        {
            damagerLevelScript.addXP(xpValue);
        }
    }
}```

[rich adder]

why not just store LevelSystem

directly

[stuck jay]

Because I might need damageDealer for other stuff

[pallid nymph]

LevelSystem itself gives me mixed feelings... but also storing the damage dealer is odd

damageDealer is a damageDealer for just an instant, it's not like a permanent damage dealer to the Health guy

so storing it there is weird

[rich adder]

should damagedealer really be part of LevelSystem ?

[stuck jay]

It's a part of Health.cs

[rich adder]

what type is damageDealer

[stuck jay]

GameObject

[pallid nymph]

you need damage events that go left and right... I think... also fewer random GOs and more typed Monos

[stuck jay]

Can you explain this more?

The only GameObject here is damageDealer and it's there to track which GameObject dealt the last damage

[pallid nymph]

I'd use some kind of Entity base class for that, just gives more information about what the object actually is, plus some options in the future to add some functionality to it and not have to GetComponent for everything

[crisp copper]

how can i make a easy dobul jump system?

[rich adder]

using an int

lookup on google, so many ways to do it

[modest dust]

object grouded? -> can jump
not grouded? -> can jump but once, resets if grounded

[stuck jay]

This seems like it'd just result in writing a lot of duplicate code, and afaik GetComponent is, at most, just annoying to look at

[pallid nymph]

as for "damage events left and right", I meant that defender should get an event about getting damaged, and then attacker should get an event about dealing damage and what the final damage was... and then the damage dealer would be part of the event parameters... and the XP thing would listen to that event and will have the attacker from arguments

and it would be XPOnDeath, not OnDestroy, but that's more fair

[crisp copper]

how do i change that? i have a code line but when i change the isGrounded to noGrounded and save it dosen work

[pallid nymph]

@stuck jay okay, I think what you need is an event on the health component that someone killed it and who it was... that's all you need to do XPOnDeath - it'll get the Health, subscribe to OnDeath event, give XP on death
(is this what the others already suggested? 😅 yes, yes it is, I just re-read earlier... so yeah +1 to that)

[fickle plume]

It's a code channel, post the code and show what debug steps you've attempted to do to solve it.

[modest dust]

Can't say much without seeing the code. As much of a "genius" I may be, I cannot read minds just yet

[crisp copper]

wear is the code channel

[fickle plume]

Also abstracting with events will make it more extendable in the future. They might want to add later showing damage dealt in UI as it happens, etc. , event can facilitate that

[modest dust]

You're in it right now.

[crisp copper]

?? wear is the code channel

is it the code general?

click one of the links, paste the code. Save and send link

[crisp copper]

https://gdl.space/ixeqekolin.cs

like that

[rich adder]

you dont have a grounded check

[crisp copper]

@modest dust @fickle plume now you can help me

[rich adder]

prob wanna implement that first

[crisp copper]

what?

[rich adder]

I mean characterController.isGrounded works ok but its not great

You need to reset a jump counter to maxJump counts when you land aka grounded

[stuck jay]

Why's there an isGrounded check on characterController?

[fickle plume]

@crisp copper Where are debug messages, what is the actual question?

[crisp copper]

idk know

[rich adder]

because its a physics object ?

[stuck jay]

I meant it looks like CharacterMovement would just be better

[rich adder]

whats "CharacterMovement "

[elder jewel]

Hello, could anyone tell me by any chance what went wrong with this collider? i was following this tutorial on how to make a player movement, but my colliders wont "Live" collide when i move like in the Video (Video with time Stemp: https://youtu.be/0-c3ErDzrh8?si=xSc_tH_dHbEyCK-5&t=189)

[crisp copper]

@rich adder cam ypu help me shange the script? becus i dont get it?

[rich adder]

Am i not?

[crisp copper]

what?

[rich adder]

First step to solving a problem is break it down into smaller problems

[crisp copper]

some people is saying i need to set it to not grounded but how?

[stuck jay]

CharacterMovement for movement and CharacterInput for actually calling CharacterMovement's code

[fickle plume]

Showing tutorial doesn't say anything about mistakes you've made. Retrace your steps, debug the problem.

[stuck jay]

That way you can re-use CharacterMovement on enemies

[crisp copper]

and i need to do so i can jump 2 times befor i need to tushe the ground

[rich adder]

no they said when you are not grounded make sure you have minimal amounts of jump left

[crisp copper]

how do i do that

[rich adder]

are those custom classes ? never heard of them

[rich adder]

so whats the first step of jumping x amount of times

[elder jewel]

okay, am i allowed to Upload Recording´s in this channel?

[crisp copper]

idk

[rich adder]

well you have to count how many jumps you have and how many max you can do , wouldn't you agree ?

[fickle plume]

#854851968446365696 on how to ask questions here.

[crisp copper]

yes

[rich adder]

so start with that first step of making a jump counter with a maxlimit, You need obviously 2 numbers

how you made variables make two

[summer stump]

CharacterController is a built-in unity component

[fickle plume]

@crisp copper It looks like you are asking for entire tutorial to do something for you. Create a thread for it

[summer stump]

@crisp copper have you gone though !learn ?

Yes you need the basics first, don't try to run without knowing how to walk

[crisp copper]

nopp

[summer stump]

I strongly recommend it

[modest dust]

Never used a CharacterController but this is the general and most simple setup I'd make for a double jump

private bool m_didMidAirJump; // or an int counter if you want to allow double jump during a fall

private void Update() {
  if (Input.GetKeyDown(JUMP_KEY)) {
    if (IS_GROUDED) {
      Jump();
    }
    else if (!m_didMidAirJump) {
      m_didMidAirJump = true;
      Jump();
    }
  }
}

private void Jump() { ... }

private void OnGrounded() {
  ...
  m_didMidAirJump = false;
}
```(And yeah, do go through unity learn first)

[rich adder]

Grouded

[modest dust]

Grouded.

[summer stump]

Grouded..

[rocky canyon]

nvm

[fickle plume]

The public object reference was bugging me... Since you were asking for design input.
If you keeping it, you should turn it into a property or make it private get/set by methods. Leaving public field will make it hard to debug, especially in this case when it will be used by everything that will attempt to damage it.

[crisp copper]

@modest dust you seam like a good scripter can you help me change my script so i can dubel jump

https://gdl.space/ixeqekolin.cs

[modest dust]

No

[crisp copper]

pls

[fickle plume]

@crisp copper This is not a place to ask people work for you.

[stuck jay]

Everything that tries to damage it would always change it though

[crisp copper]

i thin so

[fickle plume]

Again if you have further questions about it make a thread ( @crisp copper )

[modest dust]

I already did show you how to do it, now it's your turn to learn something

[stuck jay]

But yeah, good call

[rocky canyon]

            if(Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Space) && jumpCounter > 0)
            {
                // do jump
                jumpCounter--;
            }``` and... w/ a jump counter it'd be like

how can i fix this

[rich adder]

we literally sat there to get you configuring IDE

use it to your advantage

[shell sorrel]

your ide should tell you

but you just closed some parentheses ( ) too early

[summer stump]

You closed the if statement before the &&

[languid spire]

learn how to count

[summer stump]

Ah, yeah. What they said

[languid spire]

inb4, nested method as well, aint gonna work

[summer stump]

Part of the learning to count suggestion

[shell sorrel]

and attention to detail

[languid spire]

but the nested method wont throw a compiler exception

it just wont be executed

[autumn tusk]

i geniunely feel like im about to go insane

i just want to destroy one singular instance of an object without having to instanciate it in its own script

i hate the unity destroy function so bad

[rich adder]

wdym " instanciate it in its own script"

[summer stump]

What do you mean?

[crisp copper]

how can i fix that

[rich adder]

fix your syntax

[autumn tusk]

running objecttodestoy =instanciate(prefab)

[summer stump]

Correct. Public cannot be in a function

[crisp copper]

and how?

[languid spire]

learn c# ?

[summer stump]

But that doesn't answer it

[nocturne parcel]

Take the OnCollisionEnter from the update method.

[crisp copper]

learn to have a mom and dad that love you

[summer stump]

What do you want to do

[rich adder]

you have a nested method..

don't dothat

[crisp copper]

ok

[autumn tusk]

really simple

just a prefab switching system

[rich adder]

what does that have to do with Destroy

[languid spire]

both dead, what's your excuse?

[autumn tusk]

instanciating a prefab which the player is currently holding, and destroying the existing prefab

[summer stump]

And what is problem with it?

[rich adder]

whats wrong with swapping them inside a field?

[autumn tusk]

you can swap prefabs directly?

[rich adder]

Im talking about the object you spawned, when you destroy swap it to the new Instanate object

[summer stump]

To be clear, it sounds like you are talking about gameobjects, not prefabs, right?

Prefabs do not exist in the scene

[autumn tusk]

yeah i mean gameobjects

sorry prefabs are confusing sometimes

[queen adder]

Yo.

[summer stump]

Ok, then yeah, you can of course swap them directly

Just myVariable = newObject

[summer stump]

Prefabs are just blueprints. They are a file that says how to make a gameobject

[queen adder]

I'm new to Unity.

This is what I have done so far:

do you have a code question ?

[queen adder]

Yup.

The movements...

I had none errors in vision studio.

And still...

I had errors in my Unity game

But I updated it

I see. And what problem are you having? Try posting a screen shot.

[rich adder]

they said it

[queen adder]

Well, I don't know exacly how to do the movements.

[rich adder]

but they need to configure IDE first

[queen adder]

It ain't working.

[nocturne parcel]

Try configuring the IDE as navarone said

[rich adder]

as most things wont with errors

[autumn tusk]

dont exactly understand why this isnt switching

[rich adder]

is the print working ?

[autumn tusk]

yep

error log says weapon is read only

[summer stump]

AAA companies spend months to years developing movement with big teams of people. It's just too broad to teach "movement"
You need to learn the basics, figure out what you want, try to implement it, and if something goes wrong come ask specific questions.

[rich adder]

even the IDE is telling you

[queen adder]

Alright.

[rich adder]

3 dots on _playerShootScript

[nocturne parcel]

Unity learn has great resources

For beginners

[queen adder]

Well, I already know the basics but the problem is that I have coded my movements and updated vision studio to my Unity game project. It didn't work but had errors in unity only and not my C# codes

[nocturne parcel]

Did you configure the IDE?

[queen adder]

Yeah.

I got everything set already.

[inner bane]

I got these 2 scripts for a parkour controller and my character cant jump and its sliding on the ground,I want it so it doesnt slide like he's on ice and to make him jump.

[nocturne parcel]

Then share your code. And the errors.

[rich adder]

clearly not if you said errors show in Unity but not script

[modest dust]

Well, first of all, just to clarify - are these runtime errors (once you press play) or not? Might be some old errors which you can clear, otherwise the IDE is not configured properly.

[rich adder]

unless you mean NullRefs

[queen adder]

I couldn't start my game so I removed the script

[rich adder]

those are compile errors then..

[queen adder]

I prob did something wrong.

With codes

in the instructions

[summer stump]

It was linked above

[queen adder]

Alright, I will see.

[nocturne parcel]

Well, the movement method is applying a force towards down

Did you mean Vector3.up? rb.AddForce(Vector3.down * Time.deltaTime * 3000f);

Also, don't use Time.deltaTime with AddForce

[inner bane]

in the player movement?

[nocturne parcel]

You're applying force down when player grounded

[inner bane]

oh

so what do I do,delete it?

[nocturne parcel]

I don't know if that's intentional or

[inner bane]

• 0f);

[rich adder]

do you even remotely understand the code you copied ?

[inner bane]

kind of

if I fully understood it then I wouldnt ask here

[nocturne parcel]

Where did you copy it? That deltatime on add force is weird.

[inner bane]

some YT tutorial 💀

u want the link?

[nocturne parcel]

No need

[rich adder]

send

[inner bane]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wDmXmgvzueI\

[rich adder]

they dont even explain the code..

what kinda tutorial is this

[inner bane]

idk the best I found tho

[nocturne parcel]

Actually, this seems fine, it only applies force down when crouching

[inner bane]

well even if I aint crouching it still cant jump and slides too hard

[rich adder]

how come you added it extra

[inner bane]

aint found nothing about the sliding in the code

[inner bane]

What?

wdym

[rich adder]

oh nvm the original script has that..

oh god its everywhere
rb.AddForce(Vector3.down * Time.deltaTime * 10f

[nocturne parcel]

Yeah see?

Lmao

You are constantly applying force down

[inner bane]

I write this?

[rich adder]

its the first line in Movement()

at least its in FixedUpdate..

[rich bluff]

#💻┃code-beginner message

[nocturne parcel]

Try removing that line

[modest dust]

Well, the best tutorial you can get is a C# course followed by a unity course and docs. From there it's just dividing your problem into sub-problems and completing them one by one. Copying without fully understanding isn't the best idea

[rich adder]

rb.AddForce(Vector2.up * jumpForce * 1.5f);
oh also Jump without Impulse?

weird flex

[swift crag]

AddForce applies a steady force to the rigidbody. It does not make sense to use deltaTime there.

It doesn't matter how small the timestep is -- you're applying a steady force.

On the other hand, if you want to do an instantaneous "shove", you want to pass ForceMode.Impulse as the second argument (again, without factoring in deltaTime)

[inner bane]

how could I simply understand the code if I know almost nothing about C# and the tutorial doesnt explain it either

[modest dust]

Read my message again then 🙂

[nocturne parcel]

Well, you could try another tutorial tho

[rich adder]

so why are you jumping straight into copy n paste something this complex

start with a structured course, learn the basic. Build up from there

[inner bane]

cuz I didnt found nothing so

[rich bluff]

movement controllers are among the most complex things to code that look simple on the surface

[swift crag]

rb.AddForce(Vector3.up, ForceMode.Impulse)

This changes the momentum of the object by one newton-second. It's like calling rb.AddForce(Vector3.up) for an entire second.

[inner bane]

I wont spend 50 hours to learn how to move a cube fr

[nocturne parcel]

Then bad news for you

[inner bane]

100h to write 2 letters

[rich adder]

you want to shortcut your way through experience that wont work

[swift crag]

learning nothing is not an option.

unless you don't want to make a game

[rich adder]

something will break you will not know how to fix it

[nocturne parcel]

It's like going to the gym for the first time and trying to lift 400 kg

[inner bane]

I just wanna see what dumb thing I make and nothing more

[nocturne parcel]

Either way, if you won't try beginner tutorials, at least try this one
https://catlikecoding.com/unity/tutorials/movement/

[rich adder]

sphincter gone

[inner bane]

I dont wanna be making fortnite 2 fr

[modest dust]

Then good luck with with making anything even slightly advanced as there is no copy/paste tutorial for everything you might need

[inner bane]

ik

so I just quit it lol

[nocturne parcel]

This is one of the best movement tutorials you can get

[inner bane]

so anyone got a damn ideea if I can do smth or not to this?

[inner bane]

I ll check that later

[rich adder]

yes toss it in the trashbin

[nocturne parcel]

honestly? i'd scratch that one

It is over complicated and full of weird mistakes

[inner bane]

alr

ty

[nocturne parcel]

When I saw num5 I gave up reading it

[inner bane]

lol

[swift crag]

that reminds me of dnSpy decompilation output

where it has to make up variable names

[inner bane]

I had do add some materials,to like lock the X,Y,Z camera directions else camera would fall off

[tall delta]

I'm not a big fan of 'type as I do' tutorials, because it's really hard to learn anything that way. the link to catlikecoding is a really good resource.
buuuuuuut, that said, I know it's hard to stay motivated right at the start of journey. I think this movement video series might be more useful to you.
https://www.youtube.com/@davegamedevelopment/videos

[swift crag]

catlikecoding is pretty great!

[inner bane]

I saw this dude's content alr but its a lil off

[swift crag]

i need to make my own highly opinionated "how do i shot web?" blog series

i hate watching video tutorials in most situations

[inner bane]

like I see this one got more mistakes than the one I send u

[nocturne parcel]

Catlikecode?

[inner bane]

Dave

or idk if its the same person

[tall delta]

well that's' best part, if you know, then you just fix the mistakes. and modifying it to fit your needs are the part where you learn something

[inner bane]

how could I repair em 😭 I only know to do the things in the hierarchy inspector settings not coding 300 lines

[pallid nymph]

a parkour CC would be thousands of lines of code... don't know what to tell you... there are paid assets and even they are usually the half of the code, the rest is something you need to code yourself

[inner bane]

nah I gotta quit fr

[pallid nymph]

it's not a good starting point

[fickle plume]

@inner bane Don't spam the channel. If you have an actual constructive question, here's how to ask it #854851968446365696

[tall delta]

I don't really understand what you want from us then? like no, we're not going to code it for you, and no, there isn't a copy-past script ready, and yes, if you want to do this then you have to learn how to code. maybe a gpt subscription is your best best if you just want someone to code it for you

[inner bane]

I only asked if someone knows what I could change so it works and if I didnt set something propely
I aint told noone to do it for me

[fickle plume]

I just see a lot of whining. Where's the actual question?

[nocturne parcel]

Well, remove the first line of code in movement

And remove all the deltatimes from the AddForce

[swift crag]

advice was given and suggestions were offered

this server will not rewrite your code for you

[inner bane]

I aint asked for that lol

[nocturne parcel]

We told you many times, you are constantly applying force down

[inner bane]

I aint said "Write this for me"

[inner bane]

If thats not there it is gonna break
Idk what gotta do w it but then when I move the camera its like im in free mode

[nocturne parcel]

Isn't it already broken

[inner bane]

well yeah but it breaks it more

[nocturne parcel]

I'm trying to read but gosh

try placing a ! before jumpingreal quick

!jumping

[inner bane]

and I delete the (); or let it there

[nocturne parcel]

let it here

[inner bane]

kk

[nocturne parcel]

if (readyToJump && !jumping)
{
  Jump();
}

[fickle plume]

If you going to get into fixing that for them, create a thread, please.

[nocturne parcel]

Sorry

[inner bane]

Doesn't work

[nocturne parcel]

Well, we told ya there are many mistakes. Remove the delta time from add forces, use ForceMode.Impulse when jumping, etc.

[inner bane]

I got no ideea what that means,I'll search online
Edit:I can't find but I saw that someone tried in build and worked,should I build the game and try?

[winter frost]

Hello, how can I use FindGameObjectWithTag and ask it to only consider the gameObject if it is active? Thanks

[nocturne parcel]

It already does that by default, no? It won't get inactive objects.

[rich adder]

yes

[winter frost]

Ok, thank you

[minor patio]

I'm so braindead on null references

I can't even

[lost anvil]

is the best way to fix this clipping using a seperate camera for culling only the things you dont want to clip?

[rich adder]

you mean for weapon?

[timber tide]

#archived-urp #archived-hdrp #💻┃unity-talk

[lost anvil]

and UI

[timber tide]

#built-in-pipeline

[rich adder]

Ui is clipping because you have screenspace - camera

[lost anvil]

ah right so that would be overlay im assuming

[rich adder]

you need to set a proper Z distance

[lost anvil]

what with screenspace camera?

[rich adder]

if its set on screenspace camera its a sitting on it

or just use Overlay if you dont care about depth for UI

[lost anvil]

okay, and for weapon the seperate cam is the play?

[north kiln]

And please don't post non-code questions in this channel in future

[lost anvil]

yeah my bad

[rich adder]

eh if you don't care about shadows affecting your weapon

[lost anvil]

and if i do?

[rich adder]

then no two cameras is not the play

[lost anvil]

ok cheers

[queen adder]

coroutines are first start = first finish right?

like if you fire the same coroutine it won tget shuffled somewhere

[rich adder]

wdym fire the same coroutine?

[queen adder]

like a coroutine that waits for 3 sec then do something

if you fire it twice in a row

you are expected to see hte first one finish first 100% of the time

[rich adder]

you create one each time

unless you mean when you yeild return anothercoroutine ?

[north kiln]

One would presume. If it's not documented, test it yourself.

[queen adder]

void Start()
{
  Startcor(x()); // i need this to finish first 100 of the time, vefore the thing below
  Startcor(x());
}```

[queen adder]

i am testing, its consistent right now, but if its not it would break something in my game so i am making sure

maybe someone had cases before where it didnt

[rocky canyon]

if its consistent now, it'll be consistent later as well..

[faint sluice]

Yes it will finish first 100% of the time under normal circumstances

[rich adder]

then why not just yield the coroutine

[rocky canyon]

code isnt gonna operate differently

unless ur code is different

[queen adder]

these 2 coroutines are not 100% similar, but they do similar yield

they wait for 3 seconds then do their job

[rich adder]

like this ? cs IEnumerator Start() { yield return x(); yield return x(); }

[faint sluice]

Don't we have to yield return startcoroutine(x());?

[north kiln]

These do different things from what's being asked

[brazen cedar]

How can I lerp the intensity of a Spotlight 2D in Unty?

[rich adder]

inside coroutine works for me

[queen adder]

its a modular thinking thing, not everyone have the same coroutines

[faint sluice]

Nice

[queen adder]

cant explain (still havent started coding it)

[rich adder]

I misunderstood what you asked

[hollow olive]

hi there, i'm desperate need of help. I don't know what is the problem and i can't figure out what the flip is wrong here. Basically it's an ontrigger event script. All the info needed is in the image i think. Thanks for the help (i'm an absolute begginer in unity)

[queen adder]

imagine the first coroutine to pathfind, then the second coroutine will try to get all tiles the the pathfijnder found

[faint sluice]

@queen adder unless code is going to affect the duration of how long a coroutine will last, the one fired first will be completed first in that example you gave

[queen adder]

but they are both delayed by 3 secs

[north kiln]

You have duplicated a script, (or written the same functions twice). It also looks like your !ide is not configured

[eternal falcon]

💡 IDE Configuration

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

Select one:

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

[queen adder]

some units need to farm everything beside the tiles, some need to kill enemies found instead

actually it would look cleaner with events ig

[faint sluice]

@queen adder ok in that case you might want to use the method described by navarone here

#💻┃code-beginner message

[queen adder]

the waiting is just wait for seconds, ig it fine

[hollow olive]

in what line? also what's and !ide

[rich adder]

thats what I do, make an event for destination reached

[north kiln]

It doesn't matter what line. You have likely duplicated the file.
Regardless, you must configure your IDE or else you're wasting your time

[rich adder]

IDE is your Code editor

[north kiln]

And the bot message immediately after describes how to configure it

[rocky canyon]

i'd suggest not using OnTriggerEnter for your own UnityEvent..

[warped dirge]

hi can someone help me my inspector is all grey it has nothing in it

[rocky canyon]

unity already has functions called that.

[hollow olive]

oh so i'm pretty much writting with no valid code

[faint sluice]

Did you select any object in hierarchy or project?

[north kiln]

and do you have anything selected...

[queen adder]

IDE bot message should have
IDE = The place where you write codes

[rich adder]

reset layout ?
did you select anything

[warped dirge]

omg im the dumbest guy on earth

im beginner so

[rich adder]

no they should just google something they don't know lol

"what is IDE"

[hollow olive]

and what would you recommend? i use the OnTriggerEvent bc that's what the tutorial told me to, not bc i know what i'm doing

[north kiln]

Next time ask in #💻┃unity-talk , this is a programming channel

[rocky canyon]

MyOnTriggerEnter ?

OnTriggerEnterEvent?

idk lots of choices lol

[hollow olive]

sorry man, i'm trying to learn

[rich adder]

u good homie

[rocky canyon]

i'd configure ur IDE first and foremost... when there is naming conflicts it'll warn you before hand

[hollow olive]

ok, i'm fixing the IDE now, when i'll be done i'm coming back for more advice

thanks guys

ya'll awesome

[meager raptor]

Does anyone know why this error is occuring

[faint sluice]

You don't call methods of singleton before the instance is set

[meager raptor]

right so do i need to place it in start() ?

[rich adder]

ye

[rocky canyon]

try it and see

[meager raptor]

yea works, thanks

ive got another error if u guys dont mind

2nd pic is before game starts

but why does the layer change

[rocky canyon]

does ur code change it?

[faint sluice]

You're changing it from the methods i guess?

[meager raptor]

dont think so

[rocky canyon]

im pretty sure u do.. if u didn't it wouldnt change on its own..

[faint sluice]

Select on either of those variables from visual studio and click shift + f12 and see for yourself

[meager raptor]

ill show the code

[faint sluice]

Start

[rocky canyon]

u just said ur not setting it in code

if u have it set in the inspector.. u could just remove those lines.. dont need em

[meager raptor]

ah ok

[spiral narwhal]

On the same spot as Java. Languages like Kotlin, Java, and C# are all there

[rocky canyon]

then test again and see.. im guessing the line is not completely correct.. and is not setting it correctly..

[north kiln]

Also NameToLayer returns a layer index not a layer mask

[rocky canyon]

aye, theres the context i was lacking ^

[meager raptor]

ohh

yeah ur right there

[meager raptor]

also testing works when deleted that part of code thnx

[rocky canyon]

np 👍 🍀

[shell sorrel]

yeah would need to 1 << layerIndex to convert it

[north kiln]

Or use the correct function

[shell sorrel]

yeah or just do that

[north kiln]

Or preferably, and as we're doing now, nothing at all in code

[primal turtle]

Can someone explain how to use arrays in a simple sense? I tried reading the documentation but I'm not getting it.

[rich adder]

what part are you confused on?

[rocky canyon]

its a collection of things
they get numbered 0,1,2,3,etc

[north kiln]

https://learn.unity.com/tutorial/arrays-9o

[primal turtle]

I'm trying to send a raycast out and see if there's anything colliding in a box collider. I'm just confused on the code.

[rocky canyon]

you mean a Ray?

[north kiln]

What does "send an array out" mean

[primal turtle]

yes oops

raycast

[rich adder]

so you want to check for a component from the raycast?

[wind raptor]

How do I set a tmpro font asset from the inspector?

[primal turtle]

yes

[rich adder]

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Physics.Raycast.html
https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/RaycastHit.html
this has a raycast hit which stored info such as colliders hit etc.

[wind raptor]

What is the "type" of tmpro font assets is what I mean

[primal turtle]

but I want it to check in all directions with a box

[primal turtle]

That's what I just came from :(

[rocky canyon]

ya, ur confusing what u need

[worthy merlin]

Is there an easy way to convert Rotations -180 to +180 value to be based in 360 instead? Need it for a Compass heading UI

[rich adder]

they have a box one too but what are you trying to do. Game wise

[rocky canyon]

ya, ^ describe what u need... and someone will let u know the Best way to achieve it

[rich adder]

if - just add to 360 no?

[primal turtle]

I want to place a spring but I want to check before hand if it'd collide with walls floors etc to see whether or not it's placeable

[worthy merlin]

one sec, I'll try that

[rich adder]

sorry I meant add

[primal turtle]

it'll take the mouse position after a left click and check it there

[rocky canyon]

// Convert -180 to +180 rotation to 0 to 360
float convertedRotation = rotation < 0 ? 360 + rotation : rotation;

if the rotation is negative adjust it to the positive rotation in the 0 to 360 range

[rich adder]

you can pass through any position to your physic queries

set your Vector3 at the raycasthit point then do an additional check from there

[primal turtle]

thx

[rocky canyon]

ur username gives me anxiety

[primal turtle]

I can text it to lol

[hollow olive]

hey i'm back. This means my IDE thing is correctly set up now, right?

[primal turtle]

᲼

[rich adder]

we dont know yet

[meager raptor]

does anyone know why when i start my game, all my units have a health of 0, making all my units gone as soon as i play

[hollow olive]

and how do we know?

[rocky canyon]

if it is you'll see Assembly at the top left corner

[rich adder]

click regen project files then open script wiht unity

Ss the visual studio

[worthy merlin]

This works! I just need to flip the values next.

[rich adder]

share the code properly pls

[rocky canyon]

u could just invert the equation if thats the case...

[faint sluice]

What's Max health set to?

[rocky canyon]

if > 0 subtract from 360

[meager raptor]

maxhealth is supposed to be 30 in this case

[meager raptor]

https://pastebin.com/BfbwQwYh

[hollow olive]

ok i've done it, now the script was automatically open with the new visual script 2022 version i just insalled

[rocky canyon]

noice!

[hollow olive]

that means i'm all set up?

[rich adder]

you should only check for that stuff on a Hit / Dmg method

[faint sluice]

Code stinks of ai generation

[rich adder]

I would not put it t on Update

[meager raptor]

nah it aint ai

[north kiln]

https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.textmeshpro@4.0/api/TMPro.TMP_FontAsset.html?q=Fontasset

[primal turtle]

why are you making your max health based off your current health?

[meager raptor]

when the game starts it's supposed to assign the current health to the max health

[primal turtle]

if it somehow returns as 0, then it'll set your current health to 0 when it starts aswell.

[rich adder]

also the try catch here is wild

no need to do this

[primal turtle]

but at the very start of your game running, it sets your maxhealth to current health.

[meager raptor]

it's for school project but yeah u are right

[faint sluice]

What's the use of try and catch?

[rich adder]

anyway its an easy cleanup init values on awake , but only check health when a DMG method has ran not inside update

[hollow olive]

now, how do i fix this

[meager raptor]

comp sci teacher wants me to add comments and add in depth functions

[primal turtle]

just set your max health to a number and that could fix it, but I think it most likely has to do with something else.

[shell sorrel]

yeah that mulitpled nested try/catch with a catch all exception is pretty smelly

[rich adder]

there we go

[worthy merlin]

How would this look in code. By flipping the greater/less than symbol it does this really change thing where half the heading is normal and then it gets into the 400s

[faint sluice]

@meager raptor check your inspector for the value of Max health tho

[rich adder]

you have duplicated Methods

[primal turtle]

kinda what I was getting at...

[rich adder]

Yellow one is the on you made for some reason @hollow olive

[rocky canyon]

ohh.. if it was working correctly before.. i guess u can just invert the result

instead of the equation..

[faint sluice]

Same, i told him that few mins prior but he insisted it's not that

[hollow olive]

so i should just erase the yellow?

[worthy merlin]

sorry when you say invert. What operators are we using?

[primal turtle]

found it.

[rich adder]

Your Unity event is called the same as the Unity method

dont do that

[rocky canyon]

rotation = -rotation;

[meager raptor]

yeah?

[primal turtle]

your setting your max health to enemy health

[meager raptor]

max health is 0 but it's supposed to retrieve from the health from the inspector which is 30 in this case

[primal turtle]

but if your enemy health is 0 it'll set all objects to 0 later

[primal turtle]

but you change it during start()

[hollow olive]

so i'm changing the object's name right? I'm sorry to be this slow but i'm just getting started in coding...

[primal turtle]

:)

[rocky canyon]

after the line of code that converts it to a 360 range..

since u said it was correct.. but just backwards..

[rich adder]

I would name my Events as a Paste tense usually

[rocky canyon]

atleast thats what i thought when u said it

[worthy merlin]

that works!

[faint sluice]

If it sets current value to 0 BEFORE it can retrieve from the whatever object you're retrieving from, there's your problem

[rich adder]

yes you should not name variables the same names as methods, especially those already reserved for unity

[meager raptor]

what line of code?

[rich adder]

i would do OnTriggerWasEntered or something

[primal turtle]

one second

[primal turtle]

if either of the healths = 0 it'll intern make it 0 during runtime as well.

[rich adder]

the problem is because Update is running before its assigned

assuming its not set to 0

[hollow olive]

i've changed it but i still have the same problem. I'm guessing i just don't understand your advice

[primal turtle]

no..

[primal turtle]

these lines are in start()

[rich adder]

exactly

it should be in awake

[primal turtle]

although,

[rich adder]

it has occured before where Update ran before start for me

[primal turtle]

yeah just check .health

[tender stag]

i have this counter movement method in fixed update

[rich adder]

but the health check should not be in Update in the first place anyway

[tender stag]

and its supposed to stop the player when hes not holding any input

[rich adder]

why check health everyframe when you can check every Hit..

[tender stag]

but when the counterMovementForce is high the player starts shaking

why?

[primal turtle]

is there something I missed?

[rich adder]

wasnt OP question that enemy Died when game started ?

unless I got lost somewhere

[primal turtle]

yeah

so it dies when start() runs

[primal turtle]

because either the player or enemy health was 0

anyways he left chat so on point on thinking about it further

[rich adder]

wait nvm

[meager raptor]

nah am still here

[rich adder]

current health is never set.

[meager raptor]

but how would i modify the code

[primal turtle]

nvm

[faint sluice]

Use if else like a normal person instead of try catch

[meager raptor]

im tryna score more marks

[hollow olive]

@rich adder it's better now right?

[meager raptor]

it's for a project

[rich adder]

did you try moving it to awake

[shell sorrel]

or just let it throw a exception if its truely not configured right

[meager raptor]

yeah that didnt work

[shell sorrel]

using try catch for flow control is terrible

also if using it never catch all exceptions

[faint sluice]

If professor knows he will probably cut marks for overcomplicating simple tasks

[primal turtle]

the simpler it is, the better a programmer you are.

[rich adder]

then maxHealth is 0 when value is retrived

[rich adder]

No.. you kinda made it worse lol

[shell sorrel]

like no way i would ever let the try/catch like that pass a code review

[hollow olive]

then i'm completly lost, i really don't know what's the issue and how to solve it

[shell sorrel]

programming is about taking big complex things, and breaking it down into small easy to understand and implement steps

[rich adder]

why did you change the name of the method?

I said the name of the Variable, of the UnityEvent cannot be the same name as a method..

[hollow olive]

but what's the "method"?

[rich adder]

A function

anything with () after it

void HelloFunc()

[shell sorrel]

[hollow olive]

this is what i was intended to change?

[hollow olive]

yeah ik i should learn via content

or courses

well thanks for helping me anyways, you guys are awesome, : )

[tender stag]

i have this counter movement method in fixed update and its supposed to stop the player when hes not holding any input

but when the counterMovementForce is high the player starts shaking why?

its probably because im doing -velocity

and its adding force in one direction then the other

but i dont know how else to do it

[eternal needle]

It is doing this all the time btw, it is only noticeable at large values

[tender stag]

yup

[eternal needle]

Your counter movement magnitude should be limited to the players speed

Maybe limit each component (x and z) of the vector instead of the magnitude actually

[solar charm]

hi sorry for the question but where can i find the grid and snap window? im on 3d if that matters

[rich adder]

not code related
https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/GridSnapping.html

[solar charm]

oh mb

[tender stag]

what do you mean

im trying to stop the player

[eternal needle]

Yes and the maximum you would want to stop the player by is the speed at which it is moving. Not by some constant arbitrary number

[teal viper]

The issue is probably caused by your counter movement not matching the velocity exactly. It could be overshooting, so it takes several frames of back and forth counter movement to get the character to a halt(if at all).

That's why, I think applying it as a force like that is silly. Unless you 100% confident in your formula, you shouldn't do it via adding force.

[tender stag]

how else should i do it

i dont want to instantly stop him

[teal viper]

Either set the velocity to 0 directly or use unity physics drag.

Or friction.

[tender stag]

yeah i cant mess with friction

maybe i could lerp his velocity to 0?

[teal viper]

For a character controller like that it would probably be best to just set the velocity for it's movement.

[teal viper]

Why lerp? Do you not want it to stop immediately?

[tender stag]

oh yeah i remember why i was using add force

i have 0 friction

[eternal needle]

Just limiting the force you add to be equal to the players current velocity should be fine for this

[tender stag]

i did this

and hes still sliding

[tender stag]

could u help me?

[teal viper]

Well, it having a velocity on y on a slope would cause it to slide down. I think you're fixing the wrong thing here.

[tender stag]

i cant touch the y velocity

it breaks my other things

thats why i set it to rb.velocity.y

[vale karma]

is there a reason why the model gets pushed backwards here? the player does what it needs to just fine, but now i wanted to add animations and its gettin kinda screwy

im just gonna start the animator from scratch, i think i got the idea but im not doing this right

any good tutorials on sub state machine animations?

[teal viper]

Then your whole setup is bug prone. But yeah, if you want it to work as is now, listen to what bawsi is saying.

[eternal needle]

its just a matter of comparing the vectors x and z value. if the counter movement's value is greater then just use the players current velocity. if the player isnt moving, the counter movement wont move them because itll be 0 on the x and z.
honestly not really sure what was happening with the y velocity part youve shown above. i was just looking at the counter movement part alone that you first wrote

[teal viper]

Try disabling root motion

[eternal needle]

What i like to do is store what the players velocity should be, then assign that to the rb.velocity. it makes it easier to control how it moves on slopes and all that jazz. Then your counter movement doesnt need to exist because you could just directly affected what the velocity should be
@tender stag

[vale karma]

i think i saw that somewhere, but cant find it now

ahhhh found it, from mixamo import, theres a motion tab with root motion node, its set to none, ill set it to hip

[tender stag]

i do this```cs
if(isGrounded)
{
slopeVelocity = Vector3.ProjectOnPlane(rb.velocity, slopeHit.normal);
}
else
{
slopeVelocity = Vector3.ProjectOnPlane(rb.velocity, Vector3.up);
}

if(slopeVelocity.magnitude > moveSpeed)
{
float a = slopeVelocity.magnitude - moveSpeed;
Vector3 o = -slopeVelocity.normalized * a;

rb.velocity = rb.velocity + o;

}```

rb.AddForce(slopeMoveDirection.normalized * acceleration);

if(isGrounded)
{
    moveSpeed = isSprinting ? sprintSpeed : isCrouching ? crouchSpeed : isCrawling ? crawlSpeed : walkSpeed;
}
else
{
    moveSpeed = (isSprinting ? sprintSpeed : isCrouching ? crouchSpeed : isCrawling ? crawlSpeed : walkSpeed) * airVelocityMultiplier;
}

[teal viper]

On your animator component.

[vale karma]

yea haha it didnt work go figure

[eternal needle]

the problem with this is you cant really control what happens when a player suddenly gets off a slope. they would move like a ball sliding up a ramp then launching off rather than a person who would immediately fall down

[teal viper]

It didn't fix the issue?

[vale karma]

no i meant the solution i thought i had

[tender stag]

not really

look

[vale karma]

i cant find it on the animator tab :/

[tender stag]

it works fine

[teal viper]

Animator component

[eternal needle]

oh i mightve misread, its weird that you are doing both addforce and assigning velocity

[tender stag]

yeah so that i dont instantly add movement

[vale karma]

like the run animation itself? i looked on the animator controller and that was the solution i tried

[tender stag]

because then u could literally change direction straight away

with this it isnt instant

more realistic feel

[teal viper]

Where do you see the components?

[teal viper]

Where do you assign the animator controller?

To an object in the scene

[tender stag]

like it actually takes time to change the direction u walk in

depending on the acceleration value

u see how mid air i try and change direction?

how it takes a long time

[vale karma]

im pretty confused, but heres a vid of all the things you may be talking about

[tender stag]

disable root motion on the animator

[vale karma]

im blind lol where is it at?

[faint sluice]

Component

[tender stag]

literally ur animator component

[vale karma]

:0 whattttttttt

im an idiot

[tender stag]

dlich said it

[vale karma]

i forgot its on the model i imported and not on the empty i have everything else

i didnt connect the dots

[teal viper]

Yes. The Animator component is what's applying the animation to the object. You should be looking at it first if anything is wrong with the animations.

[vale karma]

okay, good to know, im not very good at animations

[teal viper]

You guys made it too easy for him. I was gonna drag him through the manual...🥲

[vale karma]

I KNOW, i was waiting for it dlich

[teal viper]

Next time

[vale karma]

[teal viper]

Does that fix the issue though?

[tender stag]

i just know the root motion pain

took me half a day

[vale karma]

yea, it works, probably fixed more issues i didnt even know about

[queen adder]

is there a way to like make time instantly go 10 seconds?

all thing reliant on time to autoprogress

or even better maybe a while loop of slowly passing time pass very quickly in small intervals

[rich adder]

timescale ?

[queen adder]

nothing else?

like really instant :>

if i need to do something after, imma just do it in the next frame?

[rich adder]

idk its one way , depends. what are you trying to do exactly with it

[tall delta]

do you only need physics object to timeskip, or every single monobehaviour?

[queen adder]

just a sleep system

when u sleep progress things

[rich adder]

dont you have a custom clock ?

[queen adder]

what is that

[rich adder]

like in-game clock?

[tall delta]

ah, then I would say fire off an event and have every relevant script skip time.

[rich adder]

I usually have a gameclock where i can speed up/slow down and other things depending on time just get events from it, like tick etc.

[queen adder]

i used to have but dropped it when I thought time is just better

[rose galleon]

https://hastebin.com/share/ebosewakow.csharp
why the heck isnt it working?

[teal viper]

If a sleep system needed to calculate hundreds of frames in one frame, that would've been crazy.

[teal viper]

What exactly? Add logs to your code to see what is getting executed and what doesn't.

[shell sorrel]

like for what purpose, for like a sleep system, would generally have my stats and things that adjust over time setup in a way where i know how much a stat increments per second

then then its just a matter of scaling that by how much time you want to pass and adding it up

[teal viper]

I assume they want everything in the scene to move as if a lot of time has passed(like npcs and physical objects)

[shell sorrel]

yeah that would be pretty implementation dependent

[rose galleon]

both are activating at the same time

[shell sorrel]

at work i can make that happen, but its because the actions in my npc behaviors are all programmed with the ablility to work in real time, and to just instantly apply the final state

[rose galleon]

why tho? The bool is only supposed to become true after the interaction happens, no?

[teal viper]

Both what? When in our conversation were "both" introduced??😅

[rose galleon]

uhh yeah i didnt really explain anything, did I?
I been trying to make a double jump from memory and from what I already have on my code

i used the jump code twice, and bools to make that

[teal viper]

Here's a pro tip on asking questions: don't assume people have access to the contents of your head or project.

[shell sorrel]

double jump is really just regular jump code with a tweak

[rose galleon]

yeah sorry

[shell sorrel]

instead of checking if they are grounded, you check jump count to see if you are aloud to jump

[teal viper]

So, what are the "both" in this case?

[shell sorrel]

once grounded you reset the jump count

[rose galleon]

the jump and the double jump

[rose galleon]

might work

[teal viper]

Yeah, I'd suggest doing it the way Passerby recommended.

[rose galleon]

perfect, tysm

[vale karma]

whats going on here with my jump animation? the code runs fine, never had problems with it so i know its the animation states, i am scratching my head

heres one with some more debug help

ohh got it workin, i was setting the ground state to transition to the jump, not the specific walk/run/idle substate, so it didnt see it

[reef gale]

[rose galleon]

how do I check collision by time touched, not just by the first touch?

[shell sorrel]

if this is the double jump you dont

[rose galleon]

no

completely different thing

more of a damage kind of thing

[shell sorrel]

oh so want like damage over time in colldier

as something enters collider add it to a list, as it exits remove it from the list

in the Update method apply your damage and multiply it by time.deltaTime

[rose galleon]

how do I add a float to my vector?(tryna make a dash)

[vale karma]

i have a problem where my exit state is not called when changing the parent state. So say i am walking (sub) in grounded state (super) and jump. The exit state is called for the super state, but not its sub state

[vale karma]

vector = new Vector2(x, y, z);

with say vector = new Vector2 (x, floatValue, z);

theres also vector = Vector2.up * floatValue;

im sorry these are for changing the y value, to change the x value it goes in the x spot, and also Vector2.right *- or + floatValue

[gaunt ice]

vec.element+float

[edgy forge]

I need a singleton or something I think. I'm downloading AssetBundle content and I want that object to persist, but after I download it I kill the scene and load a new one.
are any gameobjects I spawn while the first scene is open going to stick around?

[rich adder]

can prob use this https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Object.DontDestroyOnLoad.html

[primal turtle]

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

66 - 93, It won't fully run,

Can anyone figure out why it won't play?

[jade quarry]

I cant find Ai navigation under package manager

is there anyway I can still gett it ?

[primal turtle]

anyone here? :(

[vale karma]

i think its called navmesh

or nav something

its a bit dead tonight, but usually its busy

[jade quarry]

Ik that but

I am saying it not even here TT

[vale karma]

zoom out the picture

show me the entire window

most likely your looking in your project, you need to look in the unity registry

[jade quarry]

nvm

u were right thx man

[vale karma]

haha np

[solar charm]

idk what the problem is, i was following the tutorial and couldnt fix this problem, PLEASE HELP!

[rich adder]

good reason to configure your !ide

[vale karma]

i hate cropped photos haha, i turn into a crime scene investigator

[rich adder]

yeah the new style sucks lol

[vale karma]

im literally setting up a github project just so i dont have to copy and past stuff

code for 5 hours to save u 5 minutes

[solar charm]

like a true programmer 😤

[solar charm]

the what now? ;-;

[rich adder]

your code editor needs to be configured so you avoid such mistakes

[vale karma]

i just wish i was a GOOD programmer... i have so many good usefull ideas i could implement at my computer repair shop, and websites, etc, but i suck, and its such a slow process

[solar charm]

if its not too much of a hassle for you, mind explaining how to do that for me?

[solar charm]

listen, they say there is always someone better than you, but that means there's also someone always worst than you

so feel good about the fact that not a lot of people have your knowledge

[rich adder]

I've linked you to the instructions #💻┃code-beginner message

[solar charm]

ohhh im so dumb sorry xd

[rich adder]

its fine lol

[thick storm]

I am ngl bro I am taking the unity beginner tutorials and stuff and I am really far on them but the main plan was to just learn the coding language and then switch to unreal engine again as I was doing world design and level design there before but I am ngl bro I am really having fun just coding way more than visual scripting and I even thankfully got good enough where I can listen to what the tutorial want me to do and do it before watching the tutorial and then confirming my work with the tutorial. and aside from that man the unity community got to be the best and most helpful community I have ever seen so I am really hard questioning going back to unreal lol.

[solar charm]

long but gold, glad you are having fun frost <33

[thick storm]

thanks G I see you are helping a lot of people. people like you makes coming into the programing world that is really hard and intimidating much easier so thank you.

[solar charm]

as much as i would like to take credit, im the one being helped here 😂, to be specific being helped by the amazing @rich adder

[thick storm]

lol both of you are amazing man never the less

[solar charm]

thanks, u 2 ❤️

[vale karma]

the problem isnt understanding the code to use it, its blending the code and refactoring it with your own once you learn it. It develops new ways to find errors a video or comments didnt go over before

[thick storm]

fax bro

[vale karma]

yea, its terrible

[thick storm]

it's like you understand vectors, variables, etc but now what😂

[vale karma]

YES, i am a bit above that now tho, i can add states and substates to a state machine, and barely understand a game-ready inventory system just enough not to screw it up

but like everything i do outside a tutorial will always throw errors, not change the outcome, or do nothing. Even though it works in my head haha

[thick storm]

not there yet but I will be there one day hopefully

[rich adder]

uh right lol did you finish configuring ? you have simple capitalization error

[vale karma]

rn i am setting up github, after i need help from the binary gods

[thick storm]

so far errors haven't been a problem for me as most of them are easy to fix and the ones that aren't I just but them into chat gpt and it tells me how to fix it

[vale karma]

i havent used chatgpt, idk why but it seems to be too vague

or if i have to tell it such specific parameters that im proofreading my paragraph before i send it thats too much

[ashen isle]

ok go easy on me i am VERY beginner, but how i read this is that i cant name the camera a term that is used in code but no matter what i change it to it gives the same error (ignore thge last two compiler errors)

[vale karma]

what is Screen1 and 2 referring to?

[ashen isle]

thats what i originally named the cameras but it gave an error, im gonna change that after

[thick storm]

I am pretty sure you have to make variables for the screen one and two correct me if I am wrong

cause right now they are just names with no actions

[vale karma]

so you may have to start a bit earlier in the learning journey than this, it looks like you still need to set your camera objects to the variable, and then also you have the concept wrong there

[ashen isle]

oh i know like i said ignore the last two, im worried about the "a namespace cannot contain members etc."

im pretty sure its "public camera <name>" but whatever i put for the name that error wont goaway

[thick storm]

see this is something that I would put in chatgpt and it usually just fix it and tell me my mistake

[ashen isle]

lol

[vale karma]

unless he gets why he got it wrong hel have to do that a million times lol

[thick storm]

true

[vale karma]

so you basically made a variable, but what does the variable Camera Cam1 represent?

[ashen isle]

yeah ignore the entire start function im not worried about it rn

im making a crappy fnaf game im still teaching myself the basics

[vale karma]

im not either, what does the variable represent

[ashen isle]

im a baby in trhis lol

so im trying to make the game start on cam 1 (the office)

[vale karma]

what is the public Camera Cam; supposed to represent?

[ashen isle]

the office

[thick storm]

might just be a problem with your ide because I can add numbers to variables with no problem

[ashen isle]

where the player starts

[vale karma]

is it the camera?

[ashen isle]

yeah

i might not understand your question im sorry

[vale karma]

okay, so you made a variable that takes a type thats a camera

[ashen isle]

yes

[vale karma]

but, thats all you did, you named it Cam1 or something.

[ashen isle]

yeah

but i changed it to screen1, office, oofice, nothin

[vale karma]

all it knows rn is that you have an empty variable that holds a type camera. You have no actual information it points to inside of it

[ashen isle]

same error

wdym

[vale karma]

So, we get the component, say, a gameObject, and get the information at the start of the script, so the rest of the script knows what to do with it

[ashen isle]

isnt that why its poublic so i can draG It in in unity

do i have to do that for the error to go away

[vale karma]

so far we got

public gameObject cam;

void Start() 
{

}

im showing you lolll listen

[grizzled zealot]

All of a sudden I get all these CS3001, CS3002, and CS3003 warnings that my code is not CLS compliant. This include ScriptableObject and GameObject. Is there anything I can do to turn off these warnings?

[ashen isle]

sorry lol

[thick storm]

but that would have to be a game object I am Pretty sure

so like for example if you use a public with a float instead you will not be able to drag and drop

[ashen isle]

yeah a public float is a numerical value right

[vale karma]

but, in order to get the components information, we need to grab it from the top. So everything in the scene exists on a game object. that game object can have things like position, rotation yadayada. here, we are using the gameObject cam, which by using public, we can set the object from the hierarchy into the slot, and then reference the information from that game object in code

[ashen isle]

oh

so i replace cam with gameObject?

[thick storm]

yeah and then drag and drop your cam from the hierarchy

[vale karma]

so it would look like ```
public gameObject cam;

void Start()
{
cam = GetComponent<GameObject>();
}

[ashen isle]

ooooh gotcha

l;et me try it brb

[vale karma]

i believe you can pull it from code using cam = gameObject.GetComponent<GameObject>(); or just from the inspector using public or [SerializeField] private

im sorry for taking a long time to explain it, but it is really necessary in order to further ur learning path

[ashen isle]

I thought i only had to do that if the script wasnt already on the game object. The cam im trying to reference is a child of the parent game object that the script is on

no ur good i appreciate the help

[vale karma]

yea thats correct, i use whichever way is convienent at the time

[ashen isle]

ik u had to drag and drop anyway but i thought getcvomponent was used to grab a diff game object

oh gotcha

thank u man

[primal turtle]

anything I need to check off or smt?

I can't get OnMouseOver

to work

[vale karma]

im not sure what your game is supposed to be about but i dont normally use kinematic rigidbodies

[primal turtle]

I added collider made it in front but it still won't register for some reason

[vale karma]

did you check the IsTrigger box?

[primal turtle]

no

Shouldn't I?

[vale karma]

and use public void OnTriggerEnter2D(or 3D)() {}

yes if you want to check if another collider has entered that collider, then yes

[primal turtle]

    void OnMouseOver()
    {
        logic.springPlaceable = false;
        logic.platformPlaceable = false;
        Debug.Log("ASD");
    }

    void OnMouseExit()
    {
        logic.springPlaceable = true;
        logic.platformPlaceable = true;
        Debug.Log("feoih");
    }```

this is my script

and it won't return anything

[vale karma]

yea im pretty sure this would take a long time to unwrap lol... i dont know what any of this does

[primal turtle]

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

this is what I've been using

I looked at other solutions on the web and didn't find anything

that would fix my issue

[vale karma]

do you have an input for your mouse?

[primal turtle]

wdym?

[vale karma]

like if i press W my character moves forward

if i move my mouse left my character does as well

[primal turtle]

I have left click and right click currently set up.

It's practically a mouse only game

[vale karma]

okay, youll have to set up a vector2 for your mouse

i use the new input system, it basically turns the vector2 location of the mouse into left right up down

[primal turtle]

Vector2 mousePosS = Camera.main.ScreenToWorldPoint(Input.mousePosition);```

I've used that but now how do I check whther that's over a game object?

[vale karma]

ahh crap im not sure

again im not too detailed on unity either haha

[primal turtle]

I'm not even on the input system lol i've been using Input.GetKeyDown(Keycode.etc..)

[vale karma]

you COULD make it a button

[primal turtle]

alr

[primal turtle]

I can't

[vale karma]

and then use the unity onclick event

[primal turtle]

the game object is a tilemap

[vale karma]

change the image an stuff

ahh out of my expertise

[primal turtle]

tilemaps don't work with UI

atleast, not from my expierence.

[vale karma]

yea i like 3d and vr

[primal turtle]

ooh

anyways, I'm gonna take a break for the night and try to resolve this tomorrow.

it's almost been like 5 hours just trying to fix this :(

[vale karma]

best thing to do, see ya tomorow

[jade quarry]

hey I wanted to ask a question on this

but I following totourial rn and its kinda old

and this doesnt seem to work

[rich adder]

that makes no sense

[jade quarry]

hey dont ask me i trying out navmesh for the first time

I following a totourial rn

[rich adder]

which tutorial would do this..

[jade quarry]

how would I fix this

[rich adder]

you prob copied wrong

you already assigned agent, why are you trying to assign bools to it afterwards

[jade quarry]

theirs was like this

[rich adder]

thats still nonsense

[jade quarry]

IK

[rich adder]

which tutorial, show me

[jade quarry]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HRX0pUSucW4

here

[rich adder]

yup you copied wrong

[jade quarry]

OHHHH

fuck me

[summer stump]

You should not have two equals signs on the same line

[jade quarry]

TT

[rich adder]

well you can def assign the result of another operation but they are two different types for op

[queen adder]

How can I send my codes without image format?

Because I have long code and it won't fit in the image

[summer stump]

}

so guys I have some error about this code. I wanted to Instantiate the cube prefab just "one" time when player.Coin values is equal five and its multiples. But the issue is when start the game cubes is starting to instantiate without waiting the value. ANDDD its instantiate infinite. I don't know what am I missing here. So Is there anyone who can help me

here is the example 😦

[teal viper]

Well, your logic is making it instantiate infinitely when the conditions are met, since it's in update.

[queen adder]

Ahh damn right

so I have to add another condition to stop it

But sometimes its start the function without meet the conditions

I was more interested in that why is that

[teal viper]

When?

[queen adder]

I mean for example
if(player !=null)
{
if(player.Coin % 5 == 0){

            Invoke("instantiateCube", 1f);
        }
        


    }

I added the if statement just in one block. When I added like that. It was starting without meeting the condition sometimes

[teal viper]

The only condition that can actually change is the player coins. And it would be true initially(when coins are 0)

[queen adder]

So I had to write another if into if statement

[teal viper]

What conditions are you talking about? The coins amount check?

[queen adder]

Yes exactly

[faint sluice]

If player had initially 0 coins, it would still fulfill the condition

[queen adder]

Oh 0/5 % is also 0?

i understand it

[faint sluice]

% gives "remainder"

[queen adder]

Yes yes i know

[teal viper]

The remainder of dividing 0 by anything is 0

[faint sluice]

Then rest is simple math
