What would be a good beginner game to make

[red scarab]

makes sense, but I assumed it was capped to 60fps so I didnt expect such a dramatic change in force requirements

[wintry quarry]

It's not capped unless you cap it

[red scarab]

yea I thought I did lmfao

[wintry quarry]

regardless you want to use Fixed so it's consistent

[red scarab]

ofc

[summer stump]

That unity course has a few games. Like roll-a-ball, which is a great place to start. Brickbreaker is a good one. Battleship is great for ai. Then do a super basic 3d platformer just for getting some movement experience

[keen bramble]

Ok thanks

[ivory bobcat]

If you find yourself fighting/modifying the rigid body physics system too often, consider using non physics or kinematic rb. Oftentimes, it's easier to implement your own gravity than to fight friction/sliding and forces applied to your target - which will happen if your game isn't a ragdoll/roll-a-ball or physics simulator. Unfortunately, rigid body physics is extremely popular, so you'll be losing a lot of support if you're intending to use Character Controller or roll your own (kinematic/Transform)

[wind raptor]

I have a question about best practices with coroutines. I'm writing a function to crossfade between two audio clips in my audio manager script. I'm planning to have a coroutine to handle the fading out of one clip/source and the fading in of another, but I'd rather the calls to the audio manager not require the caller to start the coroutine. Is it common practice to have a public function like ChangeClip and a private coroutine called internally called something like _ChangeClip? Or how do others handle things like that?

As an aside, does the caller of a coroutine "own" that coroutine? As in, who would need to call StopAllCourtines() in order to halt it? The caller, or the script on which it was called?

[ivory bobcat]

You'll need rb physics for complicated physics behaviors though, unless you're wanting/willing to implement those yourself.

[modern smelt]

thank you , i actually finally achieve to do something , just need a lot of smoothing , thank you for this help

was thinking to far

[ivory bobcat]

I was referring to reducing or limiting your current velocity on button release. You'll probably not want to completely abandon forces and doing so probably still won't work the way you would entirely expect it to - you probably wouldn't want to be assigning the vertical velocity a positive value or zero if you aren't grounded/flying etc

[modern smelt]

i finnaly just apply a vector in started and another one in canceled

[modern smelt]

but later i might pass by something like this

[brazen canyon]

Hey guys
I have this class.
In this class there's a bool variable and I made a property to get set it.
And in the Awake method I set this bool to true
Does this mean that the property is set to true too ?

[swift crag]

You didn't use the property at all.

Oh, that was intentional (:

I wouldn't say the property is "set to true"

Available certainly evaluates to true, thouh.

[sacred reef]

Hi, when i create a default unlit shader and create material and apply it, the object disappers.
is this intended or is something wrong with unity ?

[ivory bobcat]

The mono behavior instance that started the script would be the owner of it. cs StartCoroutine(...);//This is the owner other.StartCoroutine(...);//Other is the owner

[swift crag]

It's whoever StartCoroutine is invoked upon, indeed. The actual place you define the IEnumerator method doesn't matter.

(well, it doesn't matter for the sake of who owns the coroutine)

[sacred reef]

I havent touched anything in the shader code, its just the default shader that gets created when i click on create unlit shader

[rich adder]

#archived-shaders

[modern smelt]

public void StartJump(InputAction.CallbackContext context)
    {
        
        if (context.started)
        {
            if (isGrounded)
            {Debug.Log("isGrounded");
                _jumpScheduled = true;
                jumpForceactual = jumpForce;
            }
        }

        if (context.canceled)
        {
            Debug.Log("Cancel");
            _jumpScheduled = false;
            Vector2 velUp = Vector2.zero + Vector2.down * jumpForceOnFall;
            rb.velocity = velUp;
            //rb.velocity = Vector3.down * jumpForce/2;
        }

What do you think about this ?

[brazen canyon]

In another class I called the property Available.
So is it true or false ?

[swift crag]

It will be true once Awake runs.

so, for example, if you're referencing a prefab, Awake won't have run on that object

and the property will return false

Awake runs as part of instantiation as long as the game object that SpawnPoint is on is activated

bool foo = spawnPrefab.Available; // false
var point = Instantiate(spawnPrefab);
bool bar = point.Available; // true

[modern smelt]

@ivory bobcat true xD

[sage mirage]

hey, guys! I am trying to load my best time and make it in format of a clock. So, how to do that right here?

{
    bestTime = PlayerPrefs.GetInt("BestTime");
    int minutes = Mathf.FloorToInt(bestTime / 60);
    int seconds = Mathf.FloorToInt(bestTime % 60);
    bestTimeText.text = "Best Time: " + bestTime;
    bestTimeText.text = string.Format("{0:00}:{1:00}", minutes, seconds);
}```

[modern smelt]

but still the problem that i lost instantanetly my momentum and get drag to ground , how can i simulate a parabola ?

[sage mirage]

I don't know how to make that like I am displaying the best time text but I dont know how to convert that on that format

[short hazel]

You're doing it with the format string right now. Note that the first bestTimeText.text = ... is useless because it gets overwritten by the second one

If you need both, then put the Best Time: in the format string directly

"Best Time: {0:00}:{1:00}"

An alternative would be to store the time as a TimeSpan, which handles time automatically and supports formatting

Just noticed but your int bestTime parameter is useless because you overwrite its value on the very first instruction in that function

Whatever you passed there when executing the method is lost

[pallid verge]

why cant vs find playerRb?

[short hazel]

ControlGravity is static. Static methods cannot access non-static things

[pallid verge]

oh alright

thank you

what is the name of the G button because this doesnt seem to work

it tells me to change the input settings but i cant find them

[swift crag]

GetButton is not used for keys.

buttons are more abstract concepts, like "Fire"

[short hazel]

Edit > Project Settings > Input. This will search for the axis there

[swift crag]

read the documentation for https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Input.GetButtonDown.html

you probably want https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Input.GetKeyDown.html (with a KeyCode argument)

[swift crag]

so the "Fire" button could be bound to the spacebar and to a button on a controller

and both of those things would be able to make Input.GetButtonDown("Fire") return true

[pallid verge]

do these variables "Gravity", "Sensitivity" etc. matter if i want to just do something when the button is pressed?

[short hazel]

You should be using GetKeyDown instead

[pallid verge]

it says that the input key named G is unknown

[short hazel]

Show your code, you need to pass a KeyCode value into that

[pallid verge]

a string doesnt work?

[short hazel]

It does, but the enum value provides more safety, you cannot pass a random value without it yelling at you immediately
Can't do KeyCode.fkljglkf for example, you get a compiler error

[desert flume]

anyone knows how to change the high score text programmatically?

[feral oar]

you gotta create a reference to the TMP object, and then in whatever script has that reference you can do referenceToText.text =

you can do stuff like
integer.ToString(); and it’ll convert the number to a string format

or just manually type the number, but i’m sure you want that to work dynamically so using a variable would be better

[desert flume]

ty

how do i save permanent data

[whole isle]

i want to add dashing to my game

the code been writted but idk how to add a button to it

i asked cahtgpt

and idk what to do from here

[polar acorn]

What do you mean "Add a button to it"

[whole isle]

like an input

[polar acorn]

To an input asset?

[whole isle]

ig

i wanna button when i press it dashes

[wintry quarry]

Well the first step I guess if you're using ChatGPT is to follow ChatGPT's instructions. You haven't followed step 1 and 2 of its instructions

[polar acorn]

How did you add all the rest of them if you have other inputs?

Just do that again for your dash button

[whole isle]

i imported something forgot the name

[whole isle]

k ill try read it more carefuly

[whole isle]

btw is the instructions correct

[wintry quarry]

generally but it mostly seems geared towards creating a whole new actions asset which you likely already have one of.

it's also only telling you how to create the action

not how to bind it to your code

[whole isle]

😭

[wintry quarry]

It's probably better to follow actual input system tutorials

[polar acorn]

You should probably just read the actual documentation for the Input System

[wintry quarry]

rather than asking CGPT

[polar acorn]

Then you won't need to wonder if it's done something right

[whole isle]

can u send pls

[polar acorn]

you'll know it's right

[whole isle]

https://paste.ofcode.org/mfy4jUUYGZ2zWGAQm5Netk

here my code btw

[wintry quarry]

These two:
https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.inputsystem@1.8/manual/QuickStartGuide.html
https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.inputsystem@1.7/manual/Workflows.html

[whole isle]

ty

[wintry quarry]

always start with the official manual

RTFM

[stuck jay]

I'd only recommend using ChatGPT for summarizing Unity's docs

It's not reliable enough to generate tutorials on its own

[void siren]

so, I have this code, and it sorta works ig, but when the object drops below 1 health it destroys the atual object rather than the clone of the object. How would i make it destroy tthe clone instead?

[wintry quarry]

this will destroy whatever object the script is on

This code should basically not be running AT ALL on the "original". Since it is, you've done something wrong

[void siren]

so how would i make it destroy the clone thats being affected rather than the object?

[wintry quarry]

Most liekly rather than properly cloning things from a prefab, you're cloning things from an object in your scene

[void siren]

uh hah

yeah

[wintry quarry]

it will do both right now, because of how you set things up

[stuck jay]

Make a variable, make the variable = instantiate, then refer to the variable

[wintry quarry]

But each copy will only destroy itself

[wintry quarry]

not even necessary in this case - the copies already refer to themselves

[void siren]

wha

[wintry quarry]

they just need to make sure they're instantiating from a prefab instead of a scene object

[polar acorn]

If this object's health is below 0, it will destroy itself. That seems like a reasonable thing for something to do

[void siren]

so what should i do to make the object be a perfab

[void siren]

:/

[polar acorn]

I don't know what you mean. If this code is running at all then it definitely is not a prefab

[wintry quarry]

Drag the object into the project window to create a prefab from it. Then delete it from the scene

[void siren]

what its supposed to do but ig i did something wrong

I have it

[wintry quarry]

Then have your spawner reference the prefab instead.

[wintry quarry]

ok make your spawner reference this instead of the scene object then

[void siren]

ok ty

[wintry quarry]

also you probably want to delete the copy in the scene

[stuck jay]

MyInstantiatedObject = (instantiate code here)

If (health <= 0)
{
Destroy(MyInstantiatedObject)
}

[wintry quarry]

no reason for one to be there

[stuck jay]

But yes, this isn't necessary if you use prefabs

[wintry quarry]

this implies the thing tracking health is not the object itself

they would be separate objects

[void siren]

Its not letting me

[stuck jay]

🤷‍♂️, not sure why you'd even want to destroy the object on the instantiate script

[wintry quarry]

what's not letting you do what

[void siren]

it gives me that red circle cursor

[wintry quarry]

where's your spawner? Is your spawner not in the scene?

[stuck jay]

Just make the instantiated object have its own destroy script

[void siren]

when i try to put it into this

[wintry quarry]

You need to show more context

[polar acorn]

Nothing they've said so far has indicated that this is the instantiating script

[void siren]

it is

[wintry quarry]

where is "this"

[wintry quarry]

more context

[desert flume]

how do i make my camera background checked

like chess

[wintry quarry]

stop cropping the screenshots

Show the full unity window

[wintry quarry]

shouldn't be a problem

drag the enemy prefab into that slot

[void siren]

i cant

[wintry quarry]

because that's not a prefab

you didn't make a prefab

that's just an image

[void siren]

ok so i messed up bad

[polar acorn]

Show the enemy prefab

[void siren]

i already deleted tghe object

[wintry quarry]

just ctrl z to get the enemy back in the scene and make a prefab from it as I described before

[void siren]

oh i didnt know ctrl z worked on that

[whole isle]

mine cant do that

[wintry quarry]

I've never seen this before

is this new?

[void siren]

0-0 i cant drag it into the project window because im dragging it around the scene

[polar acorn]

...what?

[wintry quarry]

drag it from the hierarchy window to the project window

[whole isle]

idk 😭

[wintry quarry]

not the scene window

[void siren]

my explanations are bad

[wintry quarry]

don't worry about it, that's just some new shit that isn't needed

[void siren]

i see

[whole isle]

how do i get to the input action

[desert flume]

should i create a thread?

[wintry quarry]

open the input actions asset you created

[whole isle]

how

[wintry quarry]

click on it

in the project window

double click it actually

[polar acorn]

This isn't related to code so no one here is likely to answer it

[desert flume]

Oh

[void siren]

now the script for the enemies isnt working

[polar acorn]

This seems like you just want to put a texture on something or put an image behind something

[desert flume]

yeah thats more of a unity question i think

[void siren]

they dont move or anything

[whole isle]

do u mean project settings 😅

[wintry quarry]

no I mean project window

[polar acorn]

no

they mean the project window

[wintry quarry]

that would be where assets live

[polar acorn]

the window labeled project

the window created specifically to hold project files

that window

[polar acorn]

[wintry quarry]

it's under General

but it's very likely open already

[whole isle]

rendering?

[wintry quarry]

are you trolling me sir

[whole isle]

omg lool mb

sorry

[polar acorn]

"It's under general"
"Okay but by general did you mean rendering"

[wintry quarry]

Well to be fair

[polar acorn]

why would they mean rendering if they said general

[wintry quarry]

directionally...

Rendering is under General

🥹

[whole isle]

ty

then i click project

[wintry quarry]

mhmmm

then you look at the project window

and find your asset

and open it

assuming you created one

if you didn't create one, you create one now

If this is a premade project, there will already be one... somewhere

[whole isle]

im sorry but im actually baffled

i press project and nothing happend

[wintry quarry]

Yeah because the project window is probably open already

[polar acorn]

probably because it was already opened

as we said

now go look at it

[wintry quarry]

it's the one that has all your assets in it

It says "Project" at the top of it

[polar acorn]

the one labeled "Project"

[whole isle]

this?

[void siren]

the script for the enemy wont work now, i need this player transform thing in here for it to work but when i delete the enemy object it wont let me put the player into the player transform thing

that was probably a bad explanation

[whole isle]

oh top

[polar acorn]

You'll need to set the Player variable on the instance of the object you create in code

prefabs cannot refer to objects in scene

[void siren]

how would i do thast

[void siren]

would i have to change something here

[wintry quarry]

It might help you if you read this really quickly https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.inputsystem@0.9/manual/ActionAssets.html

it's probably this:

[polar acorn]

You would need to set player variable on the instance of the object you create in code

[whole isle]

ty ill try find it

[void siren]

it wont let me

[whole isle]

oh it from mine

Omg im so slow

[polar acorn]

why not

[void siren]

gives me the red circle with a line going through it looking cursor

[whole isle]

i got to here

[polar acorn]

Go back to this message and re-read the last two words
#💻┃code-beginner message

[whole isle]

and i pressed that button and it did nothing

[polar acorn]

In code, set the variable after you spawn it

[wintry quarry]

oh yeah that's something else

I don't think you have an input actions asset yet

[void siren]

beginner D:

[whole isle]

but my charchter can move and attack

[polar acorn]

And how are you handling that input

[void siren]

i dont understand such complicated words

[wintry quarry]

Well - is that script even using the new input system?

[polar acorn]

do you know what a variable is

[void siren]

yeah

[polar acorn]

do you know how to set a variable to something

[void siren]

not in unity i dont think

[polar acorn]

https://www.w3schools.com/cs/cs_variables.php

[void siren]

isnt it just blahblah = moreblahbalh

with a few more words like public float for number values

[polar acorn]

So, you know how to set a variable

So set the variable on the object you instantiate, not the prefab

[whole isle]

i have this

[void siren]

whats instantiate

[polar acorn]

The thing you're doing to make there be enemies in the scene

[queen adder]

i haven't really i just need like a base idea of how i would do that

[whole isle]

by any chance how would i access this and add an inpuit for dash

[void siren]

i have to be with such a pain to deal with

because idk what ur talking about still

[polar acorn]

how are you making enemies exist in the scene

[void siren]

im spawning them

with a spawner

[polar acorn]

how

[void siren]

idk

[polar acorn]

then this conversation is over

[void siren]

no

lets continue

[polar acorn]

I literally cannot continue further without this information and you don't know it

so there's nothing more to be said

If you don't know how you're spawning something, how am I supposed to know what you are doing

[void siren]

lemme read the code

1s

oh

instantiate

[whole isle]

would this be fin e

[polar acorn]

That's not the input system

[whole isle]

to use as my dash

[polar acorn]

that's the old input manager

which one are you using

[whole isle]

im using that

[void siren]

so how would i make them follow me.....

[polar acorn]

then what you've just shown isn't that

[void siren]

and the code work

[whole isle]

idk how to access it

i tried the thing that the person sent and my thing dosent have the thing under it

[polar acorn]

Open the input actions asset you've made

[void siren]

i dont understand how instantiating them has got to do with me not being able to set this

oh ok the conversation really is over

nice

thanks for the beginner help

[swift crag]

why don't you answer the question?

[polar acorn]

Set that variable after you instantiate it

[polar acorn]

Sorry I cannot respond in the twelve seconds after you posted that I am also doing my actual job here

[whole isle]

idk where to find it that the provlem

[void siren]

why dont you read what i said.. i clearly mentioned in it "i dont understand"

[swift crag]

surely you know how you are creating instances of the enemy

you wrote code that does this

[void siren]

no

actually

im a beginner and watched a tutorial on how to do some basic stuff and still dont understand how it works because im a beginner

literally started yesterday

[polar acorn]

So, how are you spawning the object whose variable you want to change

[swift crag]

Okay. But you still must have actually written code that makes the spawner work, yes?

[whole isle]

is it here

pls tell me is that

PLEASEEEEE

PLSDLASDOASDOSDAO

[swift crag]

stop spamming

[whole isle]

sorry

[void siren]

this

[keen bramble]

Im strugglign to find a starting point to unity, the doc has no actualy starting point

[swift crag]

this is not the input action asset. This is the PlayerInput component.

It does currently reference the input action asset, though.

[keen bramble]

!start

[swift crag]

!learn

[eternal falcon]

:teacher: Unity Learn ↗

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

[keen bramble]

Yeah and where do I go from there

[polar acorn]

Instantiate returns a reference to the object it's made. Set that object's .player variable

[whole isle]

omg what kind of treasure hunt is this

[keen bramble]

It just tells me to use premade things

[feral oar]

i recommend trying to recreate a small game like flappy bird

[swift crag]

well, you found the wrong thing instead of the right thing, so it's not surprising that you need to look elsewhere...

[whole isle]

yh but ive been looking for a while

[swift crag]

just double click on the reference to the Input Action Asset and it'll be highlighted in the project window

[void siren]

how would i set it to that

is there like a websiter

[polar acorn]

Do you know how to set a variable

[void siren]

to how insantiate woeks

[swift crag]

follow the learning pathways

[void siren]

we went over this

[swift crag]

that's how you get started, yes

[keen bramble]

Ok

[stuck jay]

Learn the basics of C#, use the basics to create a small game, when you finish that game create a slightly bigger game.

[polar acorn]

Right. So, store the result of Instantiate in a variable. Then set the .player variable on that variable to the object you want

[keen bramble]

Ok

[void siren]

how would i store the result of it though

[stuck jay]

Learning Unity, and programming/modelling/drawing, is all about practice

[swift crag]

by creating a local variable.

[polar acorn]

Do you know how to set a variable

[whole isle]

is it this

[swift crag]

you've created two different InputActionAsset assets

[void siren]

all i know is the absolute basics of setting a variable

[swift crag]

you named one "Player movement" and one "PlayerInputActions"

[polar acorn]

This is the absolute basics.

[whole isle]

dam so how would i resolve this

[void siren]

well i know less

[wintry quarry]

delete one

use the other

[whole isle]

i think one of the is usless

[summer stump]

With an equals sign

[polar acorn]

In this case moreblahbalh is your instantiate

Store that in a variable

[void siren]

ok so i should write blah blah = insitiate...

[polar acorn]

then set that variable's .player to what you want

[whole isle]

how do i know which 1 to use somone pls help

[polar acorn]

Which one are you actually using?

[swift crag]

whichever one your PlayerInput component was referencing is probably the one you were using

[void siren]

where in my code does it say .player? im so confused

[summer stump]

You can type "unity instantiate" into google and it will bring you to the documentation
Which will help a lot

[whole isle]

im i using playerinputactions

[swift crag]

if you have absolutely zero idea how C# works then you should seriously consider following the Unity Learn pathways

we can't teach you ever single aspect of programming one message at a time

[polar acorn]

That's the variable you're trying to set

Store the result of Instantiate in a variable

Set that variable's .player

that's the thing you're trying to do

[swift crag]

okay, so use that one

[whole isle]

ty i finally found it

[wicked stratus]

I'm working on a 2d game, but I want the ability to have a 3d object as a part of the ui- i.e. there's a robot, and the player can rotate the robot to get a better view of this. I'm not sure how to implement this- it should be able to go over ui. I haven't done anything like this before- is there a standard way of doing this, such as a secondary camera and a camera view for that?

[void siren]

What would the variable do so i know what to call it

[void siren]

im not asking you to

[polar acorn]

It will hold the instance you have just created

[void siren]

and this is private variable?

[polar acorn]

It's a whatever you want variable

[desert flume]

does anyone know how to set the background of a unity project?

[polar acorn]

but there's no reason for it to exist outside of this function

so probably not a class variable

[polar acorn]

Still not a code question

[swift crag]

A local variable (one declared inside of a function) can't be private, or public, or anything else. It only exists inside of the function.

[void siren]

but a variable has to start with private or public and stuff liek that

[polar acorn]

no it doesn't

[swift crag]

No. A member may have an access modifier.

members being things like fields (variables declared in class) and methods (functions declared in a class)

Local variables are not part of a class, becaues you declare them inside of a specific function.

[feral oar]

i learned something new and it’s not even my question

[swift crag]

EnemyController has a variable named player. player is a member (a field, specifically) of the EnemyController class.

public void Foo() {
  int bar = 3;
}

bar is a local variable I declared inside of Foo

public class MyClass : MonoBehaviour {
  public void Foo() {
    int bar = 3;
  }
}

bar doesn't exist outside of the Foo method.

Local variables should be used for things you need to temporarily store.

such as, for example, the enemy you just instantiated

you don't need to store it for a long time, so you don't put it in a field

you just need to hang on to it for a moment so that you can do something with it

[void siren]

so where would i store the variable for insitiate

[polar acorn]

Where you call Instantiate most likely

[keen bramble]

Theres no template called 'Microgame'

[swift crag]

you need the 2021 LTS

the 2022 LTS doesn't have the microgame templates, iirc

[keen bramble]

Oh ok

[void siren]

so why did you show me this

[polar acorn]

Because that is the variable you want to change, right?

You asked what .player was

so I showed you what it was

your variable named player on the object you're instantiating

[void siren]

from what you explained, all I understand on what to do is this:

clone = Instantiate(Enemy, pos, Quaternion.identity);

[swift crag]

how did you declare the Enemy field? this will be important.

show me the entire line where you declare it

[void siren]

private GameObject Enemy;

this?

[swift crag]

yes, although I presume it's got a [SerializeField] above it

[void siren]

Yeah

[swift crag]

You are currently referencing the prefab as a GameObject.

Instantiate will return a GameObject.

This isn't very useful, since you want to set a field on the EnemyController component on the prefab.

[wintry quarry]

Random recommendation - that should probably be named "enemyPrefab" to be clear about what it is!

[swift crag]

indeed

You should change that declaration to:

[SerializeField] private EnemyController enemyPrefab;

This will allow you to reference the EnemyController component on the prefab

Instantiate will return an EnemyController.

[swift crag]

You'll need to re-assign the reference to the prefab after making this change.

[swift crag]

where is clone declared?

clearly not here, since there's no type name on that line

[void siren]

i dont know how to declare it

[swift crag]

look two lines up

[void siren]

thats what i was going to ask

[swift crag]

you declared a local variable named pos of type Vector3 there

[void siren]

Yes but its not going to be a vector

[wintry quarry]

You declare variables in C# with:
TypeName variableName;

[swift crag]

okay, but what is it going to be, then?

[void siren]

Thats what i was going to ask

[swift crag]

well, what is the type of enemyPrefab?

[void siren]

EnemyController

[swift crag]

That's the type that Instantiate will return.

and thus that's the type you want to use

[void siren]

EnemyController clone = ...

so what will i put here

[manic meadow]

Name:Clone() prob

[swift crag]

what you already have.

store the result of Instantiate in the variable.

[void siren]

so there will be 2 lines with that

[swift crag]

all on one line.

[swift crag]

just like Vector3 pos = transform.position;

you've instantiated two enemies

[void siren]

so get rid of the second one

[swift crag]

correct.

you don't want to instantiate two enemies.

[swift crag]

clone now stores an instance of EnemyController, so you can access any public field on it and store whatever you want in it

clone.foo = bar;

[swift crag]

much like how you set pos.y = Random.Range(-5, 5);

[void siren]

wait so whats changed

i still cant put the player object into the zombies script on who to follow

[swift crag]

Yes, and you will not be doing that.

Prefabs can't reference scene objects.

[void siren]

So how would it follow the player

[swift crag]

someone has to give the EnemyController the player's transform

[summer stump]

#💻┃code-beginner message

You have the enemyController script of the object spawned right here ^
It's called clone

[manic meadow]

your telling them what to do without saying how to do it

thats like giving someone ingredients but no recipe

[swift crag]

I'm not just giving them the code.

I am working towards the answer.

[summer stump]

We don't spoonfeed here

It harms them

[manic meadow]

thats not what im saying is it

learning is the best way

[summer stump]

And it is against the rules here

[void siren]

that would be giving the product not the recipe

[swift crag]

these metaphors aren't working

Do you want help?

If so, please humor me.

[swift crag]

you have the newly instantiated EnemyController stored in the clone variable.

[summer stump]

What fen is doing is the absolute best way for them to learn

[manic meadow]

i said giving ingredients with no recipe,

not watching someone cook for u

[summer stump]

Stop giving weird metaphors. If you wanna help then do so
Fen is helping, you are not

[wintry quarry]

Why do these people have the same damn profile pic lol

[swift crag]

name change.

[manic meadow]

lol

[void siren]

o.o

[swift crag]

so, you can read and write its fields, call its methods, etcetera

oh, no, it is two people

baffling

[wintry quarry]

Or one person with two accounts

[manic meadow]

you know whats funny, is that PraetorBlue has giving 2 sentences of advice and has prob helped more

[void siren]

no

[manic meadow]

no

[void siren]

there would be no need

[swift crag]

Your silence is appreciated.

[manic meadow]

thank you

[steel smelt]

That sounds exactly like what one person with two accounts would say

[tropic marten]

quickest way to edit the line of code below to make it so that the movement is always rounded to 1 or -1?

    public void Move(InputAction.CallbackContext context)
    {
        horizontal = Mathf.RoundToInt(context.ReadValue<Vector2>().x);
    }

[manic meadow]

[void siren]

ur silence is also appreciated

can i get help now

[steel smelt]

what

[summer stump]

You have been. Listen to fen
You haven't done what they asked

[void siren]

yes i mean all of this nonsense to stop

[summer stump]

Yes, I do hope rain stops with their nonesense

[swift crag]

The enemy spawner is placed in the scene, correct?

[void siren]

its hard to listen to fen when im being accused of two accounts O.O

[swift crag]

It's not something you instantiate after the game starts.

[void siren]

yes

[manic meadow]

because they dont understand something you said doesnt mean they arent listening

[swift crag]

Okay. So, the enemy spawner can store a reference to the player.

[SerializeField] private Transform playerTransform;

The enemies can't, because they aren't placed in the scene. They're spawned in later.

That's the problem.

[manic meadow]

[void siren]

so the player would also have to be a prefab?

[swift crag]

No; prefabs can reference each other, but that's not very useful here

The enemy could know about the player prefab

But that's not the actual player in the scene

[swift crag]

The enemy spawner can give the reference to the newly-spawned enemies.

[summer stump]

I never said they weren't listening. Grow up. Help or leave
I was telling them to continue listening to fen, because fen is helping

[swift crag]

var instance = Instantiate(prefab);
instance.foo = 123;
instance.bar = "Hello";

e.g.

in your case, you need to assign clone.player

the enemy spawner tells the enemy about the player

[void siren]

so i would have to make a variable with the players location

[summer stump]

You already have the variable

[swift crag]

You already have a variable called player that holds a Transform.

[void siren]

clone?

oh

[summer stump]

clone.player

[swift crag]

You will need to add something to the enemy spawner, though. #💻┃code-beginner message

The enemy spawner holds the player's Transform.

The enemy spawner holds the enemy prefab.

The enemy spawner instantiates the enemy prefab.

Then it gives the player's Transform to the newly spawned enemy.

Now the enemy knows about the player's Transform.

[void siren]

so i have that variable

playerTransform

But what would i actually do with ti

like how

[summer stump]

Transform has a position property

[swift crag]

why don't you tell me what this does?

particularly lines 2 and 3

[summer stump]

If the enemy has a reference to the transform of the player, it can get a constantly updated position

[void siren]

stores 2 local variable inside instance

right

[swift crag]

it sets two fields on instance

it sets instance.foo to 123 and instance.bar to "Hello"

now how about this one?

instance.baz = myField;

[void siren]

baz?

[swift crag]

it's a made-up name

it has no meaning

[summer stump]

You're thinking is right, I believe. But LOCAL variable isn't the right term. That would mean it's in a method

[swift crag]

what does this line do?

[void siren]

stores like

lemme think

stores the data from myField

which im guessing is another variable

[swift crag]

Correct so far.

But what does it store the data into?

[void siren]

instance.baz

[swift crag]

Right.

[void siren]

baz is a variable

the na,e

name

[swift crag]

It stores myField in the baz field on instance

(and "variable" is perfectly valid here, too)

[swift crag]

now, we just need to change the names here to make this solve your problem.

clone.??? = ???;

[void siren]

clone.pos = playerTransform;?

no

[swift crag]

Almost -- clone.player = playerTransform

[void siren]

not clone.pos

[swift crag]

but otherwise, exactly (:

We store playerTransform into the player field of clone.

And since clone is our newly spawned enemy, the enemy now has a reference to the player's Transform

Now the enemy can figure out where the player is and chase them.

[void siren]

wouldnt that include some complicated math

[summer stump]

Correct.
An important thing here is that if you store the position of the player, it will not UPDATE with the player.
If you store the transform component OF the player, the position WILL update

[swift crag]

well, that's a separate matter

[swift crag]

This is a very common pattern. Someone in the scene tells a new copy of a prefab about stuff

random examples from my game...

[void siren]

cant you just put it in void update and it will

[summer stump]

No

[swift crag]

gameMode = Instantiate(gameModeTemplate);
gameMode.Configure(gameModeTemplate.ConfigData);

controlHint = Instantiate(controlHintPrefab);
controlHint.Create(label, action);

root = Instantiate(configListPrefab);
root.configurable = configurable;

[summer stump]

You wouldn't have a reference to the player TO update the position without some component reference
It would just be some numbers

[swift crag]

transform.position is the current position of a Transform. It's not going to change over time.

It's just three numbers in a trenchcoat.

Transform is an actual unity object that's attached to a game object

[void siren]

so what do i do to make it do all of that

[polar acorn]

Vector3 is what is known as a value type, meaning whenever you set a Vector3 variable, you're setting the value of it. Once it's set, it's set, and it'll always be that until you change it.
Transform is a reference type, it refers to an instance of something. A different thing could go and change values on that instance, and anything else that references that object would see those changes

[void siren]

would i have to change this?

[summer stump]

Store the transform...

[polar acorn]

Didn't you already have code to follow the player before you made the enemy a prefab

[void siren]

yes

[swift crag]

If your only problem is that you couldn't reference the player's Transform, your game should be working again now.

[wintry quarry]

should'nt that be rb.movePosition(rb.position + ...);

[polar acorn]

so then what is the problem

why change any of that

[swift crag]

You've got your player again.

[void siren]

idk it was working before i made the enemy a prefab

[wintry quarry]

sure it's just... odd

It's probably identical

but it's odd

[void siren]

the enemies dont move they just stay at the spawner

[swift crag]

First step: check your console

[wintry quarry]

seems pretty relevant!

[void siren]

ah

[polar acorn]

Show the code where you set player in the spawner code

[void siren]

oh wait

spawner code

[polar acorn]

Where do you set it on the instance you create during the game

[honest vault]

assign it in the inspector im guessing

[polar acorn]

it's a prefab

[void siren]

wha-

[swift crag]

you know, the code we were just talking about?

[honest vault]

u can assign prefabs too right?

[void siren]

yeah

[polar acorn]

The thing several people just painstakingly explained for the past hour and a half

[swift crag]

prefabs cannot reference scene objects.

[void siren]

iw ill just show the entire spawner code

[swift crag]

okay, so you don't actually do anything

[honest vault]

Fair enough

[swift crag]

you need to actually write the code

[void siren]

yeah i was asking that earlier

[summer stump]

Where is clone.player =

[polar acorn]

What happened to all of this

You had it

you had the answer

you finally cracked it

and then just

didn't write it

[void siren]

i asked how

meaning

where

to put it

[feral oar]

would it be he needs to assign the value where the object gets instantiated? like
instantiatedObject.reference = blah

[swift crag]

well, why don't you reason through that question?

[polar acorn]

That is how

you literally wrote it

[potent nimbus]

hey guys, so i have this problem when i try to use animations in my game that its not working in the code:

[polar acorn]

once you realized you used the wrong name at least

[swift crag]

you want to give the newly spawned enemy the player's Transform, yes?

[rich adder]

what does "is not working " mean

[void siren]

because im braindead

i dont actually think about what im writing

im slow

[polar acorn]

Start doing that

[potent nimbus]

i mean it seems like the visual studio doesnt know animator

[void siren]

i try

[swift crag]

Give yourself some goddamn credit and think.

[rich adder]

There are only a few places you can even put that line of code without getting an error.

[void siren]

confusing

[feral oar]

maybe start with a smaller project bob? do something simpler where you only worry about a few parts

[polar acorn]

Just, guess

[void siren]

ok

let me think

[polar acorn]

where do you think you should put the line

[swift crag]

read each line of code and describe out loud what it does

[void siren]

well

it would have to be in here right?

[swift crag]

Correct, since that's the only place that clone exists.

[void siren]

anywhere after the enemycontroller line?

[swift crag]

That's where clone is declared, so yes.

You can't use a local variable before the line that declares it.

[potent nimbus]

hey it worked thanks!

[void siren]

so like that

[swift crag]

Correct.

Instantiate the enemy, then give it the player's transform.

[void siren]

now i get that

[swift crag]

well, did you assign playerTransform?

[void siren]

i tihnk so

[polar acorn]

Did you actually assign anything to playerTransform in your spawner

[swift crag]

"think so" is insufficient

prove it.

[polar acorn]

Check

[void siren]

i did this

[swift crag]

That does not assign anything to it

[polar acorn]

Okay and where did you set it

[swift crag]

That declares the existence of a field.

[steel smelt]

so what would i assign to it

[swift crag]

[polar acorn]

What do you want it to be

[void siren]

that?

[void siren]

the position

[polar acorn]

what is playerTransform

[steel smelt]

I get that you're invested but at some point it becomes spoonfeeding despite all your attempts to have him reason about what he's doing

[swift crag]

surely you know how to assign a reference in the inspector

[polar acorn]

If you want it to be a position why is it of type Transform

[swift crag]

yeah I'm running out of energy here

[void siren]

doesnt transform store the position...

[feral oar]

i respect the dedication

[void siren]

im running out of hope

[swift crag]

you badly need to follow some written tutorials

[polar acorn]

Literally put in a single frame of thought into it

it's called playerTransform

what do you think it should store

You named it that

You know what it should be

so set it to that

[void siren]

isnt transform

the

position

[summer stump]

#💻┃code-beginner message

[polar acorn]

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Transform.html

[summer stump]

No

It is a reference to a component

That component HAS a position PROPERTY

But the transform itself is not a position

[void siren]

thats what i meant

[polar acorn]

then why didn't you say that

[void siren]

i id

did

[summer stump]

Ok, well still no. It is a lot more than just that

[void siren]

right here

[polar acorn]

the thing you were saying was not correct

So, knowing this now

what do you think

the variable playerTransform should be holding

[void siren]

transform

[polar acorn]

of?

[void siren]

the player

[polar acorn]

💯 👍 🥳

So drag that in

[void siren]

but uh

nevermind that would just be annoying

i sweat to god there literally nothing in my code thats holding the players transform

for me to give it to playerTransform

[polar acorn]

so drag

it

in

the spawner is in the scene with the player

drag it in

[void siren]

yes but my code isnt even finished

i still have this line

[polar acorn]

why

[void siren]

because i dont know what to put in it

[polar acorn]

why do you have that line at all

drag in the variable

[void siren]

i was told

to

[polar acorn]

Declare the variable as public or serialized and drag in the player

[void siren]

i was asked some thing about where it was declate

[polar acorn]

like you were already doing

before you made the enemy into a prefab

[swift crag]

"assign" meaning to drag something into the inspector

[void siren]

but.i.cant

[swift crag]

i suppose that does have a double meaning

[polar acorn]

why.not.

[void siren]

i have said many times

it gives me the red circle cursor

[polar acorn]

Is your spawner also a prefab

if so, stop

[void siren]

yes it is

[polar acorn]

fucking why

Why are you spawning in copies of your spawner

[void siren]

im niot

the spawner needs to be somewhere so the zombies can spawn on it?

[swift crag]

that has nothing to do with being a prefab.

[void siren]

no wait

its not

mixed up la words

[swift crag]

If you've dragged a spawner prefab into the scene, just assign playerTransform on the instance in the scene

[void siren]

its an object

[polar acorn]

Then why do you keep fucking saying it is

Think before you answer god damn it

[void siren]

i said it fucking once

[polar acorn]

Stop just saying shit when I ask a question

This is like the fifth time I've asked a question and you've answered it with the exact goddamn opposite of what you're doing

Give it like, a single frame of brainpower, check the question, and give the actual answer

[void siren]

am i not allowed to get words confused with eachother on my second day of using unity

my deepest apologies

[rocky canyon]

i have a car asset i threw in my project, i and i noticed this, its for the audio i believe, to ramp up the pitch as the car accel..
my question is does this affect the entire scene? (my gut says yes) just want to confirm.. and if so.. bad asset imo

[polar acorn]

So, anyway, back to the issue. The spawner is not a prefab. So drag in the player to the variable

[rocky canyon]

setting of the fixedDeltaTime, that is..

[void siren]

WHAT DO YOU MEAN DRAG THE PLAYER THE THE VARIABLE

am i still in visual studio or in unity

tell me when you want me to switch

[rocky canyon]

https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/60554748/227689794-0f5b9380-7db1-4a99-91c5-0644e45e8cf3.gif

[void siren]

other wise i will get lost like right now

[rocky canyon]

when * you drag something * its referring to the editor

you don't drag things in VS

[void siren]

sometimes they use an odd selection fo words

[rocky canyon]

its the terminology that comes with the duty

you'll have to learn them

[swift crag]

this is completely standard, and you've already demonstrated that you know how to drag things into the inspector

given that you were trying to do it with the enemy prefab

[void siren]

so i get confused if they mean what theyre saying in a way that matches the dictionary definition

[void siren]

havent i said i cant like 5 times

[rocky canyon]

imo your being abrasive.. just be humble.. we're aware you may not know certain things.. cussing and using all caps isn't very productive.. just say you dont know them

[polar acorn]

Press the left mouse button while hovering over the player object in the hierarchy. Then, and this is important, without releasing the button, contract the muscles in your arm such that your hand moves the mouse across the table. Use the power of 𝕥𝕖𝕔𝕙𝕟𝕠𝕝𝕠𝕘𝕪 it will move the little white arrow (called a "cursor" in nerdy internet jargon) accordingly. Now, the hard part. You need to position your arm and hand in such a way that this "Cursor" overlaps with the box that describes your playerTransform variable. Then, and only then, do you release the button

[rocky canyon]

couldn't have said it better myself

[void siren]

its almost like... i cant

like i have said MANY times

[swift crag]

Screenshot the entire editor with the enemy spawner selected.

[polar acorn]

Why. Not.

[swift crag]

The entire screen, please.

[polar acorn]

You said the spawner is not a prefab

[rocky canyon]

is you hand broken? or it doesn't allow you to drop it in the slot?

[steel smelt]

Wild guess compile error

[void siren]

oh you meant in the enemy spawner object

right

[swift crag]

Yes. The thing with the playerTransform on it

[polar acorn]

No, we've seen their console (like an hour ago at this point) so it's definitely running

[swift crag]

Not a random unrelated object.

[void siren]

well i have one on the enemy called "player" and right next to it it says transform

[polar acorn]

Yes. That's why I said spawner over and over again multiple times and used the name of the variable in the spawner and asked if the spawner was a prefab because I meant the spawner

[swift crag]

if you refuse to pay attention, your game will refuse to work

[rocky canyon]

setting fixedDeltaTime in 1 script modifies it everywhere in the project basically? am i correct in that assumption?

just trying to fit my foot in the door for a sec

[void siren]

yes yes im not paying attention

[summer stump]

i wouldn’t imagine it would affect the whole project’s master volume. is there a separate function to affect the project itself instead of the audio clip?

let me cook

you're just changing the timestep

[void siren]

CAN I JUST GET HELP... what do i do next

[swift crag]

that's some funny code.

[summer stump]

That would be fine, but this was not that. You need to have the basics down before asking here

[polar acorn]

drag

in

the

player

[rocky canyon]

why would they do that?

[void siren]

i will do the tutorial and leave you guys alone for a week after this

did

[summer stump]

#💻┃code-beginner message

Spawn literally made a gif of what to do

[void siren]

yes and I DID IT

[feral oar]

oh that is funky

[void siren]

jesus christ

[polar acorn]

cool so what's the fuckin problem then

[void siren]

nothing

[polar acorn]

good

[rocky canyon]

ya, the asset is awesome.. but this is ridiculous imma try to reverse engineer it and remove it

[polar acorn]

we're done

[void siren]

ok THANK YOU

[summer stump]

You need to help us help you if there is something wrong. Wtf is even going on

[feral oar]

i believe in you

[void siren]

im very sorry about uh what happened today

have a good day all of you

[swift crag]

It looks like it's trying to adjust fixedDeltaTime to stay proportional with deltaTime

[feral oar]

@void siren i still recommend trying to recreate a smaller game. seems like you’re taking a bigger challenge on than you’re ready for

[swift crag]

I'm actually not sure how changing deltaTime affects how often physics updates happen..

If it doesn't, then that code would make sense

[void siren]

nah ive made this game many times on other coding things and i wanna try it on here now

this is usually the first thing i try to do

[swift crag]

10% timescale means you need to update physics 10 times as often to get the same apparent physics update rate

[rocky canyon]

let me see if the cars are rigidbodies.. or translations

[swift crag]

(assuming this is the case)

[void siren]

i make it harder for my self, i know

[swift crag]

and for everyone around you. that took an extraordinarily long amount of time

[feral oar]

i wish you luck then. sounds like an unintuitive way to go about it to me

i think you’d learn faster going about it another way

[void siren]

i wanted to include that into the message but i send it too fast

[void siren]

meh

anyways ima do the tutorial now

[feral oar]

damn homie really does just want it to be harder

[rocky canyon]

wild af

[void siren]

yeah, i do

[rocky canyon]

disabling the TimeManager (that script i shown) breaks the car script completely.. but no compile erros

[feral oar]

lmao that sounds like progress in a sense

[rocky canyon]

i want to modifiy time values in my own scripts (for my player and game/) maybe i can integrate it INTO the script

that this scrip uses

b/c i dont feel like a wild goose hunt

lol

[void siren]

it also makes me want to quit

[rocky canyon]

he was talkin to me i assume

[void siren]

ah

mb

[rocky canyon]

you just need to do some tutorials

no offense.. but u should probably coming seeking help here atleast after watching/ learning for a few days

if not a week or so

we use terminology that we assume people will atleast be familiar with

if u dont know that terminology its gonna hinder ur progress

[feral oar]

why do it this way if you feel frustrated?

[void siren]

feels good when im done

[rocky canyon]

dopamine++

[void siren]

rather than doing some boring tutorials

[feral oar]

you know you don’t need to, right? like there’s no shame in making things easier on yourself

[swift crag]

you don't get a runner's high from falling off a cliff

look, i'm going to be as polite as possible here

you are not in a position to "just figure it out"

[void siren]

I know im not

[polar acorn]

You are a toddler in a welding shop. You are just going to hurt yourself.

[rocky canyon]

im yoinking this

[swift crag]

it took well over an hour to add a few lines of code, and you repeatedly demonstrated that you have no understanding of fundamental concepts

[void siren]

usually how i learn coding languages is i just do some trial and error then do research when i want to quit

and it works

im on the research stage

[swift crag]

You cannot do this. I certainly won't be enabling it any further.

[polar acorn]

Then do that and keep us out of it

[void siren]

after all of that

i said im doing that like 15m ago

[feral oar]

have you tried a less frustrating approach?

[void siren]

what?

[feral oar]

if its a series of getting frustrated and quitting, maybe you have an approach that is unhealthy

[void siren]

ive never quitted

felt like it but never done it

with coding

[swift crag]

first i experiment then learn

[swift crag]

I learned Unity with very few tutorials. I also happened to have at least eight years of programming experience already, plus some prior experience with game making.

I didn't do it because I decided I'd get brownie points

I did that because it was the most efficient way for me. It is clearly not the most efficient way for you.

[void siren]

i feel like im getting a life lesson here

but with coding

[void siren]

it is though, i learn languages in a week or two doing it that way

only putting a few hrs into it each day

[rocky canyon]

is there a debug / stats like window to monitor timescales?

[feral oar]

what languages have you leaned thus far in this way?

[swift crag]

no; i'd just stick that in an OnGUI somewhere

[rocky canyon]

I suspect "learn" is doing a lot of heavy lifting here

[rocky canyon]

just a joke bub, calm down lol

i am calm...

[rocky canyon]

good, i dont wanna see no more caps

[feral oar]

fr though. what have you learned?

[void siren]

python, php, and now this

not alot as ofg now

[rocky canyon]

can u enlighten me on how to do that real quick? or should i just look it up?

[void siren]

by "this" i mean im currently leanring it

[rocky canyon]

i don't use OnGUI that often, and i know u do alot

[swift crag]

OnGUI lets you call GUI and GUILayout methods to draw IMGUI

Here is a basic example

[feral oar]

are you fluent in these languages?

[void siren]

yes

[swift crag]

void OnGUI() {
  using (var _ = new GUILayout.VerticalScope()) {
    GUILayout.Label(gameObject.name);
    someBool = GUILayout.Toggle(someBool, "Toggle Me");
    someFloat = GUILayout.HorizontalSlider(someFloat, 0, 1);
    
    if (GUILayout.Button("Click me")) {
      Debug.Log("Clicked");
    }
  }
}

[rocky canyon]

thanks so much

[swift crag]

GUILayout automatically positions the elements for you. GUI does not.

[void siren]

php i use on a website me and my friend are making and with python i make programs and games

[feral oar]

then the difference might be not only are you learning C#, you’re also trying to learn Unity at the same time

[swift crag]

Note that if you have several objects all trying to draw stuff at once, they'll all be overlapping

[rocky canyon]

thats fine..

just for debuggin..

[swift crag]

You can use GUILayout.AreaScope to create specific regions (it takes a Rect argument)

[rocky canyon]

i want to see whats going on in this asset

[swift crag]

My IMGUI debugger is one enormous OnGUI

It calls methods on anything that's being debugged to let them draw stuff

[void siren]

seems like a fun challenge

[swift crag]

that using keyword just automates the disposal of the scope after I'm done with it

[feral oar]

are you having fun? getting frustrated like you said you are?

[rocky canyon]

codes sooo counterintuitive..

i havent figured out what modifies the time scale bsides this script

[void siren]

i am having fun. the only time im not having fun is when 10 people try to explain 10 different things to me about 1 subject

[rocky canyon]

u shouldnt post in a channel that has 10s of thousands of people then..

that will happen

[void siren]

yesterday i got only 1 person helping me. today i wasnt expecting 10 people

[rocky canyon]

lol, thats fair

sometimes theres crickets in here.. other times its procrastination city

[void siren]

and yesterday i was actually learning from it

[void siren]

exactly

[feral oar]

do remember not everyone will be willing to explain a concept to you that can be learned from the beginner courses

[void siren]

clearly 10 people were willing and it was too much

[feral oar]

its great you had someone to do that for you once

but do not expect it

[void siren]

i had someone to do it for me once?

i didnt get them to write me a paragraph of code or something

[feral oar]

the other day when i’m assuming you had one person talking to you

i’m not saying they gave you code. but it seems they explained a principle to you

[void siren]

no

it was just some errors

[feral oar]

ah then thats different

[swift crag]

It’s definitely scaling the fixedDeltaTime up and down as the timescale changes

oh yeah, and that makes sense

I have a "Headless mode" for my game that turns off the camera and cranks up the timescale really high

When I do this, I get a ton of FixedUpdate calls per frame
