if(returnType == DerivedClass1)

[rich adder]

You probably want to learn object pooling at some point, if you're instantiating thousands of objects there is a performance implication when creating so many objects

[hidden sleet]

In this situation I don't think it does. I want to add a new inventoryItem, which is essentially just an inventory slot, with an item and quantity. But the abstract class doesn't have a field for Item, only the derived ones do since that slot can be either an itemSO or a structureSerialised

[wild fox]

my unity crashes when my gameobject dies, how do i know what's the issue? there are no errors in VS

[sage mirage]

Hey, guys! Can you help me please with Null Reference that I am dealing with? So, I am making a flappy bird game and whenever my player enters the collider of the other object(gem) it disappears and my particle is being instantiated with object pooling method. So, what's happening basically is that instead of returning my gem particle game object back to its pool for one reason I am destroying it or something but as I see on my code I don't have any Destroy() method or something that destroys the object I have replaced everything. Check what is happening in the video below.

[polar acorn]

Do you have an infinite loop running when the object dies

[timber tide]

    public bool DoTypeStuff(Item item)
    {
        if (item is Weapon weapon)
        {
          //weapon.Attack();
        }

        else if (item is Potion potion)
        {
          //potion.Drink();
        }
    }```
Bad example as this could be like a polymorphic Use() method maybe but you get the idea

[lapis yew]

wouldnt TypeOf(Thing) be easier?

[wild fox]

i'll check and try to fix

[polar acorn]

If it's a Particle System, is it set to Destroy on completion?

[rich adder]

what about outside the screen?

clearly something is destroying

[sage mirage]

Can I make a thread please to provide all the information needed?

[slender nymph]

no because that would then require comparing against another type object and a manual cast. what Mao showed does the type check and the cast all in one line

[rich adder]

Ahh those are particles nvm digi is prob right

[lapis yew]

ah, okay

[hidden sleet]

SO Inventory with an abstract class as it's container type

[sage mirage]

Null Reference Exception Error

@polar acorn Hey mate! Join the thread to discuss the issue if you are available.

[sage mirage]

Not it isn't.

It is not set to destroy on completion I think but it is a particle system

[rich adder]

prove it

[lost anvil]

any idea why this guy just walks past his point? he occasionally stops at one but then it just bugs out again

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

[rich adder]

start debugging

log the current patrol point etc.

[lost anvil]

i am

new dest when he reaches the point and finds a new destination and it logs the new patrol point to go to

[past cloud]

Anyone know how to fix vscode not having intellisense when trying to write my unity scripts?

[rich adder]

make sure the point is where you think it is

[rich adder]

!vscode

[eternal falcon]

Visual Studio Code guide

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

https://on.unity.com/vscode

[rich adder]

follow these instructions ^^

[past cloud]

already have

twice

[rich adder]

can you show the External Tools window in Unity

[lost anvil]

yeah its the point i pointed out on the video and hes supposed to just go to it and stop for a couple seconds and then move again

[rich adder]

Uncheck the last to second check mark and click regen, clock vs first. Then open script again from unity

check Output window for any errors

[rich adder]

so which part isnt working the timer or

[past cloud]

fixed, thanks

[lost anvil]

i think its the distance logic maybe? like the distance between points, but im not sure because occasionally it works, but for other points it doesnt like that one

[rich adder]

wats agent stoppin distance set to

[lost anvil]

its 1

[shadow rain]

how would i reference the clones i made? for a rubber or an eraser

[rich adder]

hmm maybe its pretty big, depends how you scaled everything

[rich adder]

You need a way to query them based on a condition

[lost anvil]

the stopping distance doesnt matter i found, i was testing with it

[rich adder]

um it usually does

just because it may not for your case, but stopp distance can matter a lot

[lost anvil]

yeah thats what i mean for this it doesnt matter

[rich adder]

Have you looked at the gizmos of agent during playmode ?

see whats happening

[lost anvil]

all the gizmos i can see are the ones on the video

[rich adder]

do you see the red circle gizmo around your Point ?

[lost anvil]

not loading

[rich adder]

discord is taking a shit h/o

[lost anvil]

fair

ik what your talking about i think

[lost anvil]

that?

🤣

[rich adder]

wtf is good with attachments rn lol

[wild fox]

        GameObject newEnemy = Instantiate(myHoverTank, transform.position, Quaternion.identity);
        Debug.Log(newEnemy.name);
        newEnemy.GetComponent<NavMeshAgent>().enabled = true;
    }
}```

[lost anvil]

i know what you mean tho

[rich adder]

anyway yeah that red circle around your point, at first is there but then it goes to the other one

[lost anvil]

ye

[rich adder]

the red circle is the agent current destination

[lost anvil]

but thats only supposed to happen through the distance check

like the switch of points

[rich adder]

well clearly its happening earlier

[lost anvil]

and im assuming it does but it happens too far

[rich adder]

so something is flawed in logic

[lost anvil]

the only place im referencing OnReachPPoint(); is in the distance check so idk what it is

[rich adder]

selectt the spawned object in playmode in hirerchy and Press F on keyboard, check where it went

i tried this

[rich adder]

make sure all pivots are correct

[lost anvil]

on points?

[rich adder]

how do you expect this to work exactly

[rich adder]

mainly the player

[lost anvil]

the ai you mean

[rich adder]

cause you have it Set to Center mode

sure yea

[lost anvil]

ok

[rich adder]

Pivot on Center mode can be misleading

[lost anvil]

pivot points are fine

[rich adder]

make sure its set to Pivot Local

[lost anvil]

ye

😴

[rich adder]

and the pivot is where the enemy is

[lost anvil]

ye

[shadow rain]

lemme fix it actually

[rich adder]

i would store the Distance first of all , inside a variable

start debugging that make sure its correct numbers

[wild fox]

i checked in the hirerchy, the object spawned but it was disabled by default, how do i enable it? even tho i instantiated it

[rich adder]

do you have a script on the object ?

[wild fox]

it's a prefab

[rich adder]

irrelevant

[wild fox]

but yes, it does have few scripts

[rich adder]

and does one of the scripts have something in Start/Awake ?

[lost anvil]

its spamming the debug.logs so i think whats happening is maybe when it tries to find a new point it finds more than 1 maybe

mate

its just spam setting new points

[rich adder]

hmm wdym by that

anyway this is why changing agen stopping distance didnt help

your Distance is still fixed to 1
are you sure that is the correct distance you want?

[lost anvil]

like, everytime he is done waiting at a patrol point, the script finds a new point multiple times before he moves making his movement a bit laggy and maybe offputting the transform.position of the point he wants to go to

[lost anvil]

changed that

just stuck it into a variable

[rich adder]

in the code?

[lost anvil]

yeah

(Vector3.Distance(ai.transform.position, selectedPoint.position) <= pointDistance)

[rich adder]

and you also debugged ditance?

var distance = Vector3.Distance(ai.transform.position, selectedPoint.position);

[lost anvil]

no ill do that

[rich adder]

I think 1 unit may be too large

but if you changed it then somehting else

[lost anvil]

alright ill take a gander with this distance debug

[short hazel]

Note that if the variable is serialized in the Inspector, modifying its value in the initializer code does nothing, as the Inspector takes precedence over values set in the code

[wild fox]

there are multiple scripted and many of them are attached with each other. It's a bit too complicated to figure out what's the issue

script used to work fine before i made few changes an hour ago or so

and i dont think i made any major changes

[rich adder]

you're doing a whole lot of assumptions without testing the basics

[wild fox]

and that script acts weird in some other levels

[rich adder]

Ie if you have certain Nulls in Start/Awake then your object will disable itself

[wild fox]

can you dm me pls? i can share the template with you

[rich adder]

thats too much committment lol

its an easy thing to check mate, the object you instantiate check its script on Awake/Start

share those two scripts if you want !code

idrk what else to do

[rich adder]

images on discord arent working rn

[rich adder]

do you know what OnTrigger does?

[polar acorn]

Oh good I thought it was just me

[wild fox]

it works now! thanks

without the setactive()

[shadow rain]

triggers it

[rich adder]

"triggers it"

what triggers what

[shadow rain]

it triggers when collided

with an object

or the object u said

[rich adder]

well with a physics object

triggers dont collide, they Trigger lol

they aren't solid

anyway doing what ur doing is prob wrong for an erasing method

[shadow rain]

ok : (

what else could i do?

[rich adder]

Like I said earlier you need to select them with the mouse prob using a raycast or something

[shadow rain]

hmmm ok

[rich adder]

but do they have colliders?

[shadow rain]

ye

[rich adder]

alr well use a mouseraycast and look for collider with Paint tag or whatever

[rich adder]

image finally loaded btw @lost anvil lol

[shadow rain]

ok

[queen adder]

ISO or ANSI for coding?

[rich adder]

wa

[queen adder]

keyboard layout

[rich adder]

Ohhh..use whatever you're used to lol

Im in US so I use ANSI

using \| next to Z key would be weird af for me

[rotund hull]

why is this happening

[wintry quarry]

I can't read your handwriting

no "what" here?

[polar acorn]

Are they world space objects or UI elements

[rotund hull]

world space

[rotund hull]

objs

[wintry quarry]

they're probably not in front of the camera

[polar acorn]

Are they actually in front of the camera

[rotund hull]

they are

and when the player colides with them they reappaer

[rich adder]

maybe they're not

you checked their Z positions

[polar acorn]

That's not something that just happens, do you have code that is meant to do something when the player collides with them? Are you disabling the renderer?

[rotund hull]

i do have code that does somethings when they collide

[polar acorn]

So show that code

[rotund hull]

[rotund hull]

https://hatebin.com/cbsrwharyf

but this is also happening to the ground

i have a ground object and you can't see it until the player colides with the flying boxs

but you can colide with the ground

[polar acorn]

Okay, so, considering this code teleports the player to this object's position and then moves the camera to follow them, that lends further evidence to the "They are out of view of the camera" theory

What are the positions of the camera and the objects?

[rotund hull]

what do you mean

[polar acorn]

I mean what are the positions of the camera, and the objects that are not visible

[rotund hull]

ohhhhhh

the cams pos is 1 on the z

[rich adder]

objects to be infront they have to be greater Z value from the camera Z

[polar acorn]

And the objects?

[rotund hull]

no just the cam

the others are 0 on the z

[rich adder]

so the camera is infront of them

[rotund hull]

yes

but only 1

[rich adder]

do you see the problem now

[polar acorn]

So then they aren't actually in front of the camera

They're behind it

[rotund hull]

yeah is it suposed to be like

that

[polar acorn]

So then what's the problem

[rotund hull]

let me try somehting with the code

[rotund hull]

i got it

[rich egret]

When I put 2 weapons in the weapons list, it won't let me put a legend for some reason.
https://gdl.space/orumagogog.cpp

Anyone have an idea why this is happening? If you need more details I will

[polar acorn]

What do you mean by "won't let you", does it hit your error log?

[rich egret]

Yup, when I try to put a legend when there are already 2 weapons, it says
"Cannot equip more than two weapons at a time. WeaponsList count: 2"

[polar acorn]

then category is "Weapon" and you already have two

So it's doing what you told it to do

[rich egret]

No, let's say there are already 2 weapons in the list. It won't let me add a legend to the legend list and says me
"Cannot equip more than two weapons at a time. WeaponsList count: 2"

[polar acorn]

Then category is "Weapon" and you already have two
So it's doing what you told it to do

[rich egret]

I don't think you understand 😅

[polar acorn]

No I understand pretty clearly

category is "Weapon" so it runs the weapon branch

and since there's two things in the weapon list, it won't add another

[rich egret]

But I checked, it's completely legend category

[polar acorn]

Not according to that log it ain't

That log only runs when category is "Weapon"

If you're getting that log, then category is "Weapon"

[rich egret]

It does, if I try to do it the other way around, add the legend and then the 2 weapons, it works.

That's why it's weird

[polar acorn]

Then you should try to find out why category is equal to "Weapon"

Have you tried actually logging it to see what value it is

[rich egret]

That's why I came here

[rich egret]

Yes, it appears that it is from the Legend category

[polar acorn]

Show the logs you get, in order, with collapse disabled

[shadow rain]

how could i reference clones from an instantiate?

[polar acorn]

Instantiate returns a reference to the thing it makes

[shadow rain]

alr so i dont need to make one?

[polar acorn]

Make what

[shadow rain]

a reference to it

cuz i wanna delete clones from instantiate if a button is presssed

[rich adder]

put them inside a list

[polar acorn]

You don't "make" a reference, you get a reference

[rich adder]

var theObject = Instantiate(etc..
myListOfObjects.Add(theObject);```

[polar acorn]

A reference is just a way to access a different thing

Instantiate gives you one

[shadow rain]

hmm ok ty

[subtle linden]

I´m a dumb Unity newbie lol working on a 2d project, I have a character that can jump. The jumping worked fine before.
I changed some settings for the UI scaling and... suddenly it doesn't jump anymore? I know the jumping function is getting called properly and I´ve played with the movement values to no avail, so I think it has to do with the different objects parameters in Unity...? I checked with the version where the jumping did work and nothing is different on the objects or the script I used, so I'm a bit unsure where to look next.
I have a Debug.Log line that shows me I enter the jumping method and the following line is what doesn't seem to take effect, with jumping power as 6f, the same value it was before the UI scaling (have played with this variable to test if the number could be an issue but it didn't make a difference, should I try any different values? calculate it a specific way?)

rb.velocity = new Vector2(rb.velocity.x, jumpingPower);

The character always falls down when I run the game and gets stuck in the middle of the ground collider. Depending on the initial position I set for the character, it sometimes gets moved away from the screen, just off the ground collider and gets stuck there. So I think the issue lies in this initial position change...?

Both the ground and the character have box colliders. None of them work as triggers.

First image is the character rigidbody + collider, second image is the ground's collider. Should I be checking anything else?
(since someone was asking abt another issue before, feel free to make a thread if you reply to me or smthn lmao)

[polar acorn]

Unless this object is a UI element, changing the UI scaling would not affect any world-space objects at all. Do you have anything else modifying rb.velocity, perhaps your horizontal movement, that might be overwriting your Y velocity?

Are you using a GetButton instead of a GetButtonDown?

It could be adding force for every frame the button is held

[thorny orchid]

If you don't want the player to do that (hold the spacebar) check for getkeydown and not getkey

[shadow rain]

when i do the var thing a weird error shows up

[rancid tinsel]

https://gdl.space/mukuseferu.cs any idea why the debug in StartWave() returns 0 timescale, but the game keeps going and timescale is at 1?

[polar acorn]

What error

[shadow rain]

do i need to do brackets when putting the var

like i named it paint

do i need to do paint();

[polar acorn]

What does LevelManager.main.Pause() do

[polar acorn]

What is line 29 of PenDrawScript

[rancid tinsel]

https://gdl.space/ehiqucowid.cs

[shadow rain]

paint;

[polar acorn]

Where's the rest of it

[subtle linden]

Yes, it does get modified for the horizontal movement inside FixedUpdate.

    private void FixedUpdate()
    {
        rb.velocity = new Vector2(horizontal * speed, rb.velocity.y);
    }

Is there a better way to handle the jump?

[thorny orchid]

Usually that error is because you used == instead of = could it be?

[polar acorn]

So the reason it's logging zero is probably because it's zero

[rancid tinsel]

if timescale == 0 then set it to 1 and if timescale != 1 then set it to 0

[shadow rain]

thats it

[polar acorn]

What is paint

[rancid tinsel]

but the CheckTimescale method* returns 1

[rich adder]

dont think you can just have a variable sit there and do nothing lol

[rancid tinsel]

nothing else anywhere in the code touches timescale only levelmanager and enemyspawner

[shadow rain]

but dont i need to call it if i want it too paint?

[polar acorn]

So what the absolute heck is paint; supposed to mean

[rancid tinsel]

but it never pauses the game with the bit in enemyspawner, the levelmanager timescale buttons work fine

[polar acorn]

It's just a variable

sitting there

alone

[shadow rain]

paint is the instantiate

rlly

[polar acorn]

like Dr. Manhattan on mars

[rich adder]

paint is the object returned in Instantaite but do you store it outside the method its called in?

[shadow rain]

no?

[rich adder]

thats why i mentioned storing it in a list if you want to erase a bunch spawned

[polar acorn]

Then when that runs, it's probably 1. These logs are running at different times, so it's entirely possible that between one and the other, it changes again

[rancid tinsel]

i have no idea why it changes though

        }
    }
}

script is unfinished***

i need to get rid of the bool too**

[rich adder]

omg why is it in update

[polar acorn]

1. Why do you have two instantiates
2. What do you actually want to happen inside the second if

[rancid tinsel]

whats the keyboard shortcut in VS to check for text in all scripts?

like ctrl F but for all scripts at once

[rich adder]

you're literally assigning a newly spawned on to the same variable

[shadow rain]

its in update cuz every frame? no?

[polar acorn]

Ctrl+Shift+F I think, or just normal Ctrl+F and change the dropdown to "Entire Solution"

[shadow rain]

plus u said to leave the var on its own

[rancid tinsel]

yeah thats it, thanks

[rich adder]

do you only want to erase the specific paint that spawned in that frame?

[shadow rain]

i thought i should put the other instantiate back

[shadow rain]

i want to clear all paint

[rich adder]

so store it inside a list like i said..

[polar acorn]

Then you're going to need to keep a reference to every object you've cloned

Why is "Jump" an axis

[shadow rain]

is "mylistofobjects" an actual thing u can do?

[polar acorn]

That should be keeping the Y velocity just fine, so that's not the issue. Are you maybe colliding with something you weren't expecting to? You didn't put any colliders on UI elements, did you?

[shadow rain]

or is it just an example?

[rancid tinsel]

found the issue, for some reason the timescale in Start() in levelmanager gets called last

[polar acorn]

What is mylistofobjects

[pseudo canyon]

is multiplayer beginner coding or advanced coding i can't tell

[shadow rain]

here

[polar acorn]

Very very advanced

[rancid tinsel]

ill put it in OnAwake()

[polar acorn]

You should probably make it a button

[thorny orchid]

Not for beginners definelty

[pseudo canyon]

oh

[polar acorn]

Makes sense, the order objects call Start in is largely random

[rich adder]

something like this basically

[SerializeField] List<GameObject> paints;
void Update()
{
    if (Input.GetMouseButton(0))
    {
        var paint = Instantiate(effect, pen.transform.position, Quaternion.identity);
        paints.Add(paint);
    }
    if (Input.GetKey(ClearKey))
    {
        for(int i = 0; i < paints.Count; i++)
        {
            Destroy(paints[i]);
        }
        paints.Clear();
    }
}```

[pseudo canyon]

is there a help channel

[rancid tinsel]

yeah works in OnAwake(), thanks for the help

[polar acorn]

That's just the name they've given to the list variable

[thorny orchid]

This is a help channel, if you need help for multiplayer check out #archived-networking

[polar acorn]

You can still check if a button is held without it being an axis. You can start your jump on GetButtonDown, and adjust the height based on when they release the button

[pseudo canyon]

thanks

[polar acorn]

Also, isn't "Controlling the height by holding the button" literally the problem you're trying to solve?

You said you didn't want that to happen

[shadow rain]

TYSM sry for getting u to write the code too im just too thick and clueless

[summer stump]

GetKeyDown is only true for a single frame

You can use GetKeyUp to see when the press is released
Then calculate the difference in time

[rich adder]

its fine, these are very basic parts of C#. You will learn them you will be able to do a lot inside Unity.
Lists, Loops, storing references etc.

[cold fable]

hi

[pseudo canyon]

i can't tell if multiplayer movement being client sided is a networking issue or a script issue, what do i do?

[summer stump]

What does that even mean?

And it's worrying to see networking questions in #💻┃code-beginner

[pseudo canyon]

i was trying to make multiplayer game in unity

and movement is client sided

[summer stump]

Yeah I got that part haha 😸

[pseudo canyon]

i don't know if it's movement issue or script issue

where do i post for hlep

for help

[summer stump]

The "client sided" part is what makes no sense

[pseudo canyon]

client sided = pc that is connecting

server sided = server

[summer stump]

You were directed to #archived-networking earlier 🤷‍♂️

[pseudo canyon]

yes but idk if it's a movement issue or a networking issue

so uh

yeah

[summer stump]

Yes, but movement SHOULD be done on the client, that's what is confusing me about your question

[subtle linden]

Nope, those are free lol. I have other elements with trigger colliders that work as expected of them. Logging showed me the only collission at the start is between the character and the ground, as it should be

[summer stump]

Irrelevant

[pseudo canyon]

but then the movement is client sided

which means only you can see it

server can't see it

i think

or am i dumb

[summer stump]

Ahhhh, that is completely different than what you made it sound like

You have to send the inputs to the server of course

But the movement would happen on the client

[pseudo canyon]

i'm confused

i don't know how to do that

(since i don't use unity alot)

[summer stump]

First. Don't ask in code BEGINNER haha. It is an advanced topic. And you were directed to #archived-networking anyway
But it depends on the networking framework you are using and what architecture you're going for. It's impossible to speak in generalities here

[pseudo canyon]

what networking framework

what do you mean

i don't undergrand

[polar acorn]

What networking framework are you using

[pseudo canyon]

what's a networking framework

[polar acorn]

You definitely should not be doing multiplayer

[pseudo canyon]

i am using multiplayer HLAPI

[ruby python]

Yeah sorry dude, but if you don't know that basic terminology, you really need to do some reading. 😕

[pseudo canyon]

is that what he is asking me or

[polar acorn]

So, that would be relevant information to post with your question in #archived-networking

[pseudo canyon]

oh

wait

isn't mutliplayer hlapi deprected

[polar acorn]

Pretty sure

[pseudo canyon]

yeah it is

i just

checjked

is that a bad thing

that it's

deprected

[summer stump]

You should probably ask in #archived-networking
It looks like this is the fifth time you were told that

[rich adder]

if you don't know this you should probably not be making a multiplayer game..

[shadow rain]

ok so ik ive used this channel WAAYYYYYY tooo much but this is the LAST thing for today. I added a colour changing script for more colour variants obvs but it changes all paint instead of just the new paint if yk what i mean. Ik what is wrong with the script i just dont know how to fix it. It is bc im refrencing all of the paints insted of new ones

script

[polar acorn]

Is this script on every instance of your sprite

[wintry quarry]

I don't see anything here that would prevent this running on all objects that have the script on it

[shadow rain]

ye thats the problem

[polar acorn]

So how are you intending to know which ones to change

[shadow rain]

I really dont know ive tried searching it up but there isnt anything useful

[pseudo canyon]

how do i lock the cursor to the middle of the screen

[shadow rain]

waait i can help

[polar acorn]

I mean how are you the person making the game, intending to choose which things to color

[shadow rain]

ik ik

[lost anvil]

@rich adder damn bro i just had to make pointdistance higher then the stopping distance you were right 😭

i spent a good hour trying to fix the script that was right

[rich adder]

the power of Debugging numbers!

[lost anvil]

lol ill be debugging thoroughly from now on

[shadow rain]

actually is there a way of saving the screen. What I mean is that instead of changing the new instantiated objects color I could save the existing ones meaning the only the instantiated objects will change. Is my logic correct?

[summer stump]

Make a list. When you instantiate a new one, put it in that list.

[shadow rain]

alr will do

[hushed hinge]

https://gdl.space/ikunidutoc.cs hi, I need help because I don't know how to get the door interaction working like when player 1 goes up to the door and is at the center of it and I tries to press q but nothing happens as I didn't get teleported to another door or the screen fades to white and then to normal like in Kirby

[shadow rain]

my list is calle color but what would color =?

WAIT NVM

[rich adder]

didnt u already do this with example i sent of adding them to list ?

[shadow rain]

so yk how u need a var what would that =? thats what i meant.

[shadow rain]

so i could combine my color script with my pendrawscript?

[summer stump]

Whatever the type is that you are instantiating

[rich adder]

are you trying to change color of the same spawned objects?

[shadow rain]

yup

[rich adder]

so share the list, doesnt have to be in the same script

[shadow rain]

ok

[rich adder]

do you know how ?

[rich adder]

we need to see things like colliders and all that jazz

also doing this inside every keypress Camera mainCamera = GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag("MainCamera").GetComponent<Camera>();

[shadow rain]

i know how to like reference one script in another but lists not so sure

[rocky lava]

anyone know why this doesnt work?

[rich adder]

yes you reference the other script and access the list

[rocky lava]

wrong image

[shadow rain]

but what do i de then

[rich adder]

so does currentInteractible have those methods

[rich adder]

wdym what are you trying to do lol

and what are u struggling with

[shadow rain]

u said to share the list

[shadow rain]

everything tbh lol

[rich adder]

you want to change to colors to all the things you spawned ?

keep it all in one script if it helps you understand better

[rocky lava]

sorry im like very new to coding, and im trynna do this off a tutorial, how do i check this?

[shadow rain]

I want to change the colour when a button is pressed but not the ones already on the screen

[rich adder]

Your classes have to have their methods defined if you are trying to use them.

[buoyant schooner]

https://gyazo.com/be1f33e2f690e6cb2154534710761e36

I'm getting weird graphical glitches with my 2d tile map when I'm moving my camera.

I've attached a pixel perfect script to my camera. It dosn't seem to be fixing the issue when I use a perspective camera.

How do I fix black lines going across the tiles when i'm moving?

[rich adder]

If you are following tutorial its either bad or you missed a step where they created those methods in that Interactable class @rocky lava

[rocky lava]

heres my full code

[rich adder]

first of all !ide

[eternal falcon]

💡 IDE Configuration

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

Select one:

• Visual Studio (Installed via Unity Hub)
• Visual Studio (Installed manually)

• JetBrains Rider
• Other/None

[rich adder]

cause your error wasn't highlighting in editor

which is a big problem coding without intellisense/error underline working

[rocky lava]

ah

i thought i installed that a few weeks ago

[rich adder]

well it needs to be configured for Unity

otherwise is just as good as a text editor

[shadow rain]

I only want the ones u are currently drawing the i want the ones on the screen to stay the same

[buoyant schooner]

bump

[rich adder]

so your goal has DoorInteraction which calls OnTriggerEnter2D but has no collider?

[rocky lava]

i genuinely dont understand whats wrong

[hushed hinge]

don't mind the goal name, i'm using a different object but this is not the name

[hushed hinge]

won't collider jsut block my way through?

[rich adder]

colliders can also be triggers

triggers dont block any object but send trigger messages

[hushed hinge]

ok, but right now when i tried to press q, NullReferenceException appears

[rich adder]

well congrats now the script is actually running

you just didnt catch the error because it never ran

you should store these cameras in the beginning of the Level btw.
not sure why you're doing this

Camera mainCamera = GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag("MainCamera").GetComponent<Camera>();
        Camera mainCamera2 = GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag("MainCamera2").GetComponent<Camera>();
        Camera pixelCamera = GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag("PixelCamera").GetComponent<Camera>();```
This is a Null Ref Waiting to happen..

[shadow rain]

my game is very good rn

[ebon ember]

How would you assign a integer to a string in a list?

if that's possible

basically I have a varialbe and I want to assign more than one integer value to it

[rich adder]

huh ? which type is the list ?

[ebon ember]

yea please disregard that

can I assign more than one integer to a variable?

[shadow rain]

actually how could i make a designated area for the drawings?

[rich adder]

well you could yeah

[ebon ember]

how would i go about doing that

[rich adder]

what are you trying to do exactly ?

you can make a tuple

[ebon ember]

give an named variable stats like strength is 5, speed is 10 etc

[rich adder]

you can also make a struct

prob better

a class works too ofc

[ebon ember]

alr ima look into that, thank you

[hushed hinge]

it's been sometime since I used Unity while I was focusing on drawings

[hushed hinge]

yet nothing still happens when i press q

[rich adder]

did you fix the error first?

[hushed hinge]

I don't know hot to fix the error

[hushed hinge]

but it seems that it takes me to there also what do you mean by "store these cameras in the beginning of the level"?

[rich adder]

if you dont fix the error the rest of the code wont run..

[rich adder]

meaning you should put them in public or [SerializeField] private and just assign them inside the inspector

[SerializeField]
private Camera mainCamera, mainCamera2, pixelCamera;```

then remove the = Find, this will guarantee those are assigned

[queen adder]

How do u make animations for ur movement

[rich adder]

yea

[hushed hinge]

which one?

[rich adder]

wdym which one? assign them inside the inspector

[hushed hinge]

I meant when oyu said "remove the = find"

[rich adder]

with Animator and some animations ?

[tender stag]

how do i make the water not turn into a trampoline

i need to add enough force so the player stays at the water surface

without bouncing

[rich adder]

oohh all the ones that have to do with the camera
you have 6 of them on this script alone

use the newly created variables

[queen adder]

Animations when I move

[rich adder]

move with script?

[hushed hinge]

would it result in this?

[rich adder]

now remove the lines completely, the Camera ones

[queen adder]

No

I got all the movements but I don't know how to add Animations for it

[rich adder]

then I'm confused what you're asking, you're in a code channel

[queen adder]

Bro _

[hushed hinge]

like this?

[rich adder]

yes thats good

the one in TeleportPlayer too

[hushed hinge]

huh?

[hushed hinge]

oh right

[queen adder]

Your force is always 50, you could make it depend on how deep you are. But anyways I don’t know proper water physics

[tender stag]

true

[hushed hinge]

well it seems to be working right now, but except for that the camera screen doesn't fade to white when i pressed q to teleport to the other door and then the screen turns to normal

[rich adder]

fading background color of camera doesn't make much sense to me

your objects will be infront background of camera

just switch it out from camera to a UI Image stretched to Screen

then fade the alpha

you can easily just keep current code and make one color full alpha and other with no alpha

[hushed hinge]

three ui images here

[hushed hinge]

alpha?

[rich adder]

what are those supposed to be and how are they related to changing camera background color ?

[rich adder]

the transparency of the color basically

how visible it is

[hushed hinge]

did you ask me to switch out from camera yo a UI image stretched to the screen?

[rich adder]

you want to just fade white image?

[hushed hinge]

like in Kirby old games where you go in a door and the screen faded to white and then to normal when you are in another area

[rich adder]

yea

[rich adder]

 IEnumerator FadeToColor(Image fadeImg, Color endColor, float duration)
 {
     float elapsedTime = 0f;
     Color startColor = fadeImg.color;

     while (elapsedTime < duration)
     {
         elapsedTime += Time.deltaTime;
         float t = Mathf.Clamp01(elapsedTime / duration);
         fadeImg.color = Color.Lerp(startColor, endColor, t);
         yield return null;
     }
     fadeImg.color = endColor;
 }```

[rich adder]

na sorry fixed the edit

also send code you write in code snippets like here

[hushed hinge]

code snippets?

[rich adder]

like the code I sent?

dont send screenshots of code

https://gdl.space/foqafehuci.cs

[rich adder]

you need two colors one with full alpha one with 0 alpha

fadeIn and fadeOut respectively

[hushed hinge]

even if I wanted to, it just won't sent because of text being too long

[hushed hinge]

how do i add alpha?

[rich adder]

only when you send short snippets, kinda did not need the whole class this time lol

[hushed hinge]

tag names?

[rich adder]

Color fadeInColor = Color.white;
Color fadeOutColor = new Color(1, 1, 1, 0);```

you can prob get more fancy results using a curve on the float of alpha only or maybe even dotween

[hushed hinge]

public string playerTag = "Player";
    public string interactionButton = "q";
    public string player2Tag = "Player2";
    public string interactionButton2 = ".";
    public AudioClip doorSound;
    public Transform teleportTarget;
    public float fadeDuration = 1f;
    public Color fadeColor = Color.white;
    Color fadeInColor = Color.white;
    Color fadeOutColor = new Color(1, 1, 1, 0);
    [SerializeField]
    Camera mainCamera, mainCamera2, pixelCamera;

[rich adder]

sure, not sure why you need to send every step you're doing lol

hopefully you're somewhat understanding why you are changing what you're changing..

[hushed hinge]

I just wanted to make sure that i'm placing them in the right places

also should I put fadeInColor and fadeOutColor somwehre?

[rich adder]

you thought they were for decoration only 😅

[hushed hinge]

XD

[rich adder]

ok think about your method FadeCameras first

which, should probably now be FadeScreen

StartCoroutine(FadeToColor(...
what you think goes here

[hushed hinge]

delete some of the line?

[rich adder]

so you dont want to Fade anymore?

you're literally replacing the two things you changed

make the fields for the image components you have

plug them in the method and ur done

[hushed hinge]

I mean when you send me this StartCoroutine(FadeToColor(...
I thought that I'm supposed to deleting some of the line

[tender stag]

can someone help me stop the player from bouncing on the water surface?

[rich adder]

no it was more of like a quiz

[hushed hinge]

I'm not good with quizes

[rich adder]

hoping you at least took away some knowledge from this change but 🥲

[hushed hinge]

I didn't know this was a quiz, since I am not a fully-focused person

[rich adder]

would probably query for water another way

[tender stag]

what way

[wild fox]

there is this object with navmesh attached and nodes telling the object where to navigate, on destroying i need to spawn a tank. But when i spawn the tank, they are either stuck at some node on the map of some level or stuck on the ending node on the other scene

[rich adder]

depends how underwater you want it to be, I put a sphere-like check on the players head usually or you can do chest

[hushed hinge]

mainCamera, fadeColor, fadeDuration

[rich adder]

using velcoty random - number , seems to magic

[tender stag]

i wanna do it using physics

and forces

[rich adder]

no , camera is not part of this anymore

[tender stag]

thats the problem

[sterile wraith]

How do I ensure that no matter what two gameobjects will be connected at a point. So like in a car, you have 4 tires. obviously the 4 tires are moving and your chassis is going along with it. but how can i ensure that the chasis stays where it is relative to the tires even when the tires are moved.

[rich adder]

you literally put the same ones are the old ones..

wrong

thought it was clear background color on camera does Nothing with sprites infront of it..

[hushed hinge]

then what am i supposed to put there?

[rich adder]

your new Coroutine is fading an Image component

[rich adder]

did you not write any of the code ? you need the do the same thing you did for the camera..

writing random syntax like that does nothing

[hushed hinge]

ok, I'm so lost here right now

you mean the transition name?

[rich adder]

..all the camera stuff needs to be gone and replaced with Image component , that is all..

camera.backgroundColor has no affect being behind sprites..

so its a useless fade

[hushed hinge]

oh ok

[rich adder]

make a thread if you want to continue

i'll explain better

[visual hedge]

is this how VR games look like?

or it's just a split screen game?

[rich adder]

I think its a couch co-op

[hushed hinge]

it is coop

[visual hedge]

oh okay, so split-screen, okay

[hushed hinge]

transition fade screen

why? I'm the one who made the thread

[rich adder]

you cannot write too short

bot doesn't like that

ideally keeping from spamming vertically

[wild fox]

@rich adder can you assist me later pls? once you are done helping him

[rich adder]

just ask your question! there are hundreds of people that can help lol

[hushed hinge]

I'm a girl

[wild fox]

no one else is helping rn 😦

[wild fox]

my bad

[hushed hinge]

it's ok

[rich adder]

your question and video is scattered around, its not easy to read. Should've made it one message

Also where is the code

[wild fox]

yeah gimme a min

[rich adder]

sounds more of a question for #⚛️┃physics

[wild fox]

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

when i call it on start, it works on few levels that the tank spawns, but on some levels it doesn't work. I can't seem to figure out why

[outer light]

hi

[rich adder]

you have to make sure you are spawning close enough to navmesh

or better yet on it

do a SamplePosition first

[wild fox]

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

the other code which is responsible to navigate the object on the path, i dont know how to integrate it into my newly spawned object so that the object follows the same path. From what i can understand i need to connect the 2 scripts but i dont know how exactly.

[rancid tinsel]

what might have happened here? it was 2.7 and added 0.1 to it and turned into this

[sterile wraith]

nah cause i think i can do the physics. i just need to know how i can make sure the children stay tied to the parent

[rich adder]

float imprecision

[rancid tinsel]

do i need to round every float? 😦

[rich adder]

no i think its probably close 2.8 is just showing like in inspector

[eternal needle]

Does it truly matter that this number is exactly? You can round when showing stuff to the user but usually you dont need to round internal values

[rancid tinsel]

it looks bad to the user but yeah I guess ill just round it before displayingg

[rich adder]

and those objects are physics objects?

lol

[sterile wraith]

no

they arent.

[rich adder]

then how are you moving them ?

use the constraint components then

[sterile wraith]

their position

[rich adder]

i meant the method smart face

[sterile wraith]

🤣 i was being serious

their position

i wasnt using a rigidbody or a cc. literally their position

[rich adder]

their position isn't a method..but ok

are you're saying you are assigning it a value?

just use the constraint component then

[sterile wraith]

im still working on the implementation

[sterile wraith]

kk ty

[rich adder]

just so you know AddForce doesn't work while .velocity is running not sure if you knew that

also dont see anywhere you're incresing jumpHeight based on Jump input held

it probably breaks cause you have soo much going on the script is kind of a mess

[finite dew]

Reduce gravity on player while player is in air and moving up and holding jump

That's a good approach I always use

[rich adder]

all you really need is increase a float number by GetKey

[finite dew]

Restore otherwise, of course

[young wren]

Hi again i try to make Scriptable Object that store bool value at 2 states initial - "initialValue" and runtime "value"

But i can't figure out how to set value to be same as initialValue at open game (i mean on what even i should call Initialization function?)

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

namespace RPG
{
    [CreateAssetMenu]
    public class BoolValue : ScriptableObject
    {
        [SerializeField] private bool initialValue;
        [NonSerialized] private bool value;

        public bool InitialValue
        {
            get { return initialValue; }
        }

        public bool Value
        {
            get { return value; }
            set
            {
                if(this.value != value)
                {
                    this.value = value;
                    OnValueChanged?.Invoke(value);
                }
            }
        }

        private void Initialization()
        {
            Value = InitialValue;
            Debug.LogWarning("Change BoolValue to: " + InitialValue);
        }

        private event Action<bool> OnValueChanged;

        public void ToggleValue()
        {
            Value = ! Value;
            Debug.Log("BoolValue toogle");
        }

        public void SetValueByObjectState(GameObject targetObject)
        {
            Value = targetObject.activeInHierarchy;
            Debug.Log("Set BoolValue by hierarchy to: " + targetObject.activeInHierarchy);
        }

        public void SubscribeToValueChanged(Action<bool> callback)
        {
            OnValueChanged += callback;
        }

        public void UnsubscribeFromValueChanged(Action<bool> callback)
        {
            OnValueChanged -= callback;
        }
    }
}

[visual hedge]

        {
            Value = InitialValue;
            Debug.LogWarning("Change BoolValue to: " + InitialValue);
        }

I might be dumb, but won't

        {
            Value = InitialValue;
            Debug.LogWarning("Change BoolValue to: " + InitialValue);
        }
``` be what you want?

or void Start(){Initialization();}

[finite dew]

Use a second nonserialised variable as a flag, and check in the getter if it's false - if it's false, set it to true, set value to initialvalue, return value. Otherwise simply return value

[whole isle]

how do i start my unity game but in full screen

[young wren]

I were thinking this gona work too but sadly ScriptableObject doesnt call Start since its not component(?)

[visual hedge]

a yeee... well then call it from somewhere else :))

[whole isle]

ty

[young wren]

That's sound like a working solution but more like hack then it doesnt sounds great to do like this with hundred of scriptable objects to make an additional flag and make unnecesary condition check at every get call

[finite dew]

Fair.
I'd have to refresh my memory on specific scriptableobject methods to see if there's anything that can help you, but a editor script could help you as well. They're not as intimidating as they sound xd

Custom inspector I mean

[young wren]

Yeah sure i thought too about some kind of "bootloader" or smth but i belive theres a better solution then manually put every scriptable object like this to script that gona call function on each of them

[finite dew]

You can also use Nullable<bool> instead of a separate flag. A cleaner option imo

[young wren]

I think its about "GetKeyUp" it only works when u release key as function name says Get Key Up 😛

[finite dew]

Instead of calling jump with the time held, consider calling it immediately, and reducing the gravity of the rigidbody. Restore it when spacebar is not held

[fathom gate]

I’m trying to use the virtual scripting, but for some reason my all of my nodes aren’t in my script graph and I can’t find them

[finite dew]

Uhhh did you save it before closing it last time you used it?

[fathom gate]

Never mind I found out how to fix it for some reason put me like 1,000,000 miles away from where all my nodes were, but I hit overview and it fixed it

[finite dew]

you never set isJumping to false, which means the gravity is now forever changed

you need to set it to false when your jump button is not pressed

you're adding half of a reverse gravity artifically upwards, when holding jump. You are turning off normal gravity when grabbing a ledge
but when you're grabbing a ledge and holding jump, the half of reverse artifical gravity is still applied

[tender breach]

For some reason, my game object falls even when fall = false. https://pastecode.io/s/vw02fvmw

[finite dew]

did you turn off gravity for it?

in the rigidbody2D settings

gravity scale should be zero

if you're moving it from within the script

[tender breach]

That was the issue, thanks

[finite dew]

maybe
if (isJumping && myRB.useGravity)
{
myRB.AddForce(Physics.gravity * (jumpGravityMultiplier - 1), ForceMode.Acceleration);
}
?

sadly, I don't know enough about your project to help, but maybe there is a good solution along that path

anyway I'm going to sleep now

[young wren]

Any idea why my script to change image of button on start would not work?

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine.UI;
using UnityEngine;

namespace RPG
{
    public class ImageByBoolValue : MonoBehaviour
    {
        [SerializeField] private BoolValue objActiveValue;

        [SerializeField] private Image image;
        [SerializeField] private Sprite trueSprite;
        [SerializeField] private Sprite falseSprite;

        private void Start()
        {
            setImageSpriteByValue(objActiveValue.Value);
        }

        private void setImageSpriteByValue(bool value)
        {
            if(image != null)
            {
                Debug.Log("Obj image set : " + this.gameObject.name + " -> " + value);
                image.sprite = (value) ? trueSprite : falseSprite;
            }
        }
    }
}

All properties are setted and it returns true so i expect to it change image from falseSprite to trueSprite but it doesn't on Start

(later if i change flag manually or by click for example it works)

OnRenderImage?

nah same effect 😦

[ivory bobcat]

Is the image null?

[young wren]

Nope

[ivory bobcat]

Are you receiving any logs?

[young wren]

On start its same as falseSprite

[ivory bobcat]

Define "work"?

[young wren]

This Debug.Log("Obj image set : " + this.gameObject.name + " -> " + value); gives me log in console

[ivory bobcat]

Show what it logged.

It'd only change from false sprite to true sprite if it were false to begin with and if the value was true.

[young wren]

Debug.Log("Image : " + image);

            Debug.Log("image.sprite.name: " + image.sprite.name);

            Debug.Log("falseSprite : " + falseSprite.name);

            Debug.Log("trueSprite : " + trueSprite.name);

            Debug.Log("flag : " + value);

            Debug.Log("GameObject : " + this.gameObject.name);

ohh my bad flag somehow is false?

[ivory bobcat]

What didcs Debug.Log("Obj image set : " + this.gameObject.name + " -> " + value);logged?

[young wren]

Wait wrong object on screen

I changed this Debug.Log u wrote to this above with more informations

All looks fine but image ain't changing when it's called from Start function

[ivory bobcat]

I'm uncertain what the actual problem is but if you believe it's correct and simply not updating the canvas button, you can try https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Canvas.ForceUpdateCanvases.html to force all canvas' to update.

[fathom gate]

how to i set or find a working variable?

[rich adder]

simple capitlization problem

strings are much caseSensitive

[fathom gate]

so what would work

[young wren]

@ivory bobcat i don't think it is i added Debug.Log after changeing it and it have still wrong sprite like it didn't evevn change value under image.sprite

[rich adder]

idk did you make the field for it ?

I dont even see you defining it

[ivory bobcat]

Show your current method/function

[fathom gate]

yeah how do i do that

[young wren]

        private void setImageSpriteByValue(bool value)
        {
            if(image != null)
            {
                Debug.Log("Image : " + image);

                Debug.Log("image.sprite.name: " + image.sprite.name);

                Debug.Log("falseSprite : " + falseSprite.name);

                Debug.Log("trueSprite : " + trueSprite.name);

                Debug.Log("flag : " + value);

                Debug.Log("GameObject : " + this.gameObject.name);

                image.sprite = (value) ? trueSprite : falseSprite;

                Debug.Log("image.sprite.name after chang: " + image.sprite.name);
            }
        }

And last debug returns name of sprite that was before change

[rich adder]

I dont really know much about #763499475641172029
You'd have to define what forwardSpeed is

I guess somewhere in the graph , no clue about visual scripting

[ivory bobcat]

Add a final log:cs Debug.Log($"The object we're looking at is {name}, click me to see it in the Editor", this);

Verify the inspector values and that it's the expected object

[young wren]

In inspector it also shows wrong value

Im quiet sure it's somehow about event life cycle but idk how fight it

Cause when i use this function from an button it works perfectly 😐

[ivory bobcat]

It looks correct. The flag was false so your result would be the false sprite.

Which was layerbase

[young wren]

Wrong console.log didnt clear console xd

[minor patio]

can we talk about IEnumerables? I have a list of type Competency that is returning null on my calls to it in other methods... 😦
The strange thing is I've got a display area in my UI that is displaying the various Competency titles and is a parent object to an Improve button that I'm using to increase the rank of a competency. I've either got my lambda's incorrect where I'm using them, or the IEnumerable class needs work, or both.

[ivory bobcat]

So the flag was true and you got the true sprite layersactive. What's the issue?

[young wren]

i got falseSprite

[silk night]

Are you sure the calls to the property is null and not the call to the class that holds the property?

[ivory bobcat]

The image said

[young wren]

yeah but Image component dont get that

its still LayersBase

[ivory bobcat]

The logs are correct so the issue is likely something else?

[silk night]

And yes, wrong lambda context could also break this

[minor patio]

I'm not sure what that means XD
I'm kinda in mind that calls to the property are good (get values in display are valid)

[ivory bobcat]

For instance, your image reference may not be the expected image cs Debug.Log($"Click me to see the image we're changing", image); @young wren

[silk night]

When you are calling the list in your function, are you sure the list is null and not the class? like this part -> holder.list

[silk night]

Before I start asking such things, can you show your code?

[minor patio]

there's a bit to show - can you send a link to pastebin or other?

I know there's some code missing from the display script (I haven't implemented the display of a competency's rank)...

it might also have something to do with the fact that I'm not Updating my displays

[silk night]

And what part is returning null?

also a note, your singleton thing in the awake would destroy the singleton if you instantiate a second one by fault, did you mean to do Destroy(gameObject) there? If you get a second one you are left with none afterwards, or rather a reference to a destroyed gameobject

[minor patio]

the ImproveCompBtn call to competenciesScript is returning null

which Awake? 😛

[silk night]

Competencies awake

[minor patio]

I kinda did that on the fly - I wasn't sure if multiple instances would be throwing exceptions

I'm an IEnumerable virgin X)

[young wren]

Ty for try help
Restart fixed issue ...

[silk night]

It wouldnt throw errors, but the first one assigns itself as the singleton, if you accidentially spawn a second one, that one would destroy the original one you spawned and then does not assign itself as the singleton, so your CompetenciesInstance would be a reference to a destroyed GameObject

[minor patio]

cheers - that's something I want to avoid

[silk night]

Which line is it exactly that throws a null where you dont expect it?

[gloomy jacinth]

Can someone help me? I need my hands to collide with objects and not phase through. Its for unity vr

[minor patio]

ImproveCompBtn script, line 27

[silk night]

Does either your hand or the object you want to collide with have a rigidbody component?

[silk night]

That would be an empty line?

[minor patio]

line 163 in the dump

[silk night]

ahh

[gloomy jacinth]

Yes my wall does

[silk night]

Is your wall marked as static?

[gloomy jacinth]

Let me check

Where do i check that?

[silk night]

Top right, a little checkbox

[silk night]

Are both scripts on the same gameobject?

[gloomy jacinth]

Oh, no it is not marked static.

[silk night]

Alright, thats good

do you want your hands be blocked by the wall or do you want your wall to move when you hit it?

[gloomy jacinth]

so my door does work i dont know if its becuase my hands phase through it so it doesnt open or its bad colliders.

with either one

[silk night]

so you want to move the wall/door with your hands?

[minor patio]

no - the ImproveCompBtn is on multiple Buttons and the Competencies script is with a parent panel

[gloomy jacinth]

well i want mostly my hands to not go through the door. But i also want my door to work so which ever one is better i will do.

[silk night]

TryGetComponent accesses the current gameobject, it will not find your competencies there 😄

[gloomy jacinth]

i can send a video if you want to see the situation?

[silk night]

would be perfect

[minor patio]

lol that sounds so simple

[silk night]

Try using Competencies.CompetenciesInstance instead

its a static, so it should be available once you have spawned one instance of Competencies and the awake has fired

[minor patio]

thanks - wish me luck

[gloomy jacinth]

@silk night

Dont mind the wisphering and stuff

It can open slowly with two hands but i want to hit it with one hand and it opens like wide enough and smoothly

[silk night]

Do you have colliders on your hands?

im not 100% sure about the vr controls

[gloomy jacinth]

i have sphere colliders but i dont think their doing much because they dont seem to be colliding correctley

do u know the settings i need for that?

[silk night]

to me it looks like the only thing that can interact with it is the flashlight

[gloomy jacinth]

Ya probably, I dont know how to do that with the hands tho becuause i can put in the same colliders and it wont do anything

[silk night]

as i said not fully sure about how the hands are handled in unity, never worked with it but i can imagine that the collision resolving does not work fully cause of the "unusual" nature of those colliders, moving directly by 3d input

[gloomy jacinth]

The flashlight has a small capsule collider but thats it

[silk night]

can you disable the flashlight and see if you can move the door at all?

[gloomy jacinth]

lemme test it

[silk night]

also this answer at the bottom looks promising:

https://communityforums.atmeta.com/t5/Unity-VR-Development/Unity-Hand-Tracking-collision-with-rigid-bodies-such-as-walls/td-p/962843

[rancid tinsel]

any idea what could be causing this? https://gdl.space/ejecegozim.cs

[silk night]

At this point i would assume its directly related to VR, and at that point i cannot help anymore, I suggest the links i sent above and #🥽┃virtual-reality if you need further help

[silk night]

you are calling a variable that has not been assigned or has been assigned null

oh you posted code, let me check that

[silk night]

Either your SettingsScript, SettingsScript.main or musicSource is null, check it maybe with an output and find out why its null 😄

[minor patio]

I get a null reference at line
''var competency = Competencies.CompetenciesInstance._competencies
.Where(comp => comp.competencyTitle == competencyTitle.ToString())
.FirstOrDefault();''
now. Pretty sure it's the _competencies which is the culprit... but I've tried a couple of different edits on the lambda & no dice

[rancid tinsel]

its SettingsScript.main.musicEnabled but i have no idea how a bool can be null?

[silk night]

you are using the constructor of a MonoBehaviour here, never do that, your _competencies most likely never gets filled

[rancid tinsel]

https://gdl.space/opuluwikux.cs

[minor patio]

sorry about the patch formatting

[rancid tinsel]

this is the settings script

[minor patio]

gotcha - & thanky again
another gremlin exposed

[silk night]

you are never setting the main, fill it in Awake with "this"

[tough trench]

Anyone know how I can add a multiplier to the money

[silk night]

also i think you want to fill your _competencies with a call to CompetenciesList instead of a parameter (that you so far haven't used from what i can see)

[rancid tinsel]

oh my god im an idiot

yeah that fixed it thank you 😭

[silk night]

What triggers the adding and how do you want it to react?

[minor patio]

I got no idea what that means - lambda's are a killer

[tough trench]

It just adds one to the value right now but i want to be able to multiply how much I add to the score

[silk night]

Also I am not sure why you yield return it instead of just returning a list

i mean yeah it does the same, but ive never seen it done manually 😄

[minor patio]

it's part of the IEnumerable structure

[silk night]

a list is a child of IEnumerable

it exposes the same functionality

[silk night]

just do value += multiplier

[minor patio]

so I could still use lambda expressions when making calls to an array?

[silk night]

what line would be an example?

[minor patio]

I'm sure I got no idea 😦

[silk night]

i mean where are you using it right now 😄

so at first you should add

_competencies = CompetenciesList()

to the Awake

Next replace CompetenciesList() in line 27 with competencies so you used the cached value

[minor patio]

var competency = Competencies.CompetenciesInstance._competencies
.Where(comp => comp.competencyTitle == competencyTitle.ToString())
.FirstOrDefault();
here again? just maybe formatted differently?

[shell sorrel]

that is a lot of stutter in 1 line

[silk night]

oh yeah that lambda usage has nothing to do with it being a list directly

its just a syntax for anonymous functions

also use
```cs
CODE
```

to post code here

[minor patio]

[granite atlas]

can someone help me in #archived-urp plz 🙏

[shell sorrel]

also you can ditch the .Where and just toss the lambda in FirstOrDefault

[minor patio]

oh, it's three ''' now

[silk night]

its backticks

and if you add cs in the first line it even does c# highlighting

[shell sorrel]

var competency = Competencies.CompetenciesInstance._competencies
    .FirstOrDefault(comp => comp.competencyTitle == competencyTitle.ToString());

for example

[tough trench]

I got it to work but now the score isn't showing on the screen only in the Inspector

nvm got it

[silk night]

I see you are having trouble with lambdas, to make you understand it easier ill give you an example of what they are, you will understand easier 😄

[minor patio]

thanks for the tip there

[shell sorrel]

also would try and reduce the stuter a little like no need to call the intance CompetenciesInstance

just instance would be good enough

[minor patio]

cheers - it's grade 4 average for me

[shell sorrel]

also these linq stuff and lambdas you can just 100% ignore if you want

its really just shorthand for stuff you can do with a loop

[minor patio]

yeah, I got that much

[summer stump]

Yeah, I only really use it for single-run things that I want to take up less space. Pure readability usage

Edit: linq specifically I mean

Both calls to foreach do the same here, one is a named function, the other one is anonymous, the things before the => are the arguments, behind it is the executed code (mutliple arguments can be done like (value1, value2) => code)

[shell sorrel]

yeah if something gets complicated, like more then a where and a select i will just use a loop, or a function to yield from. just easier to read and exapand on and make sure its not doing extra work

thanky - that adds some clarity to my thinking

[shell sorrel]

yeah its function shorthand, just there is no name for the function, and args come first

[grizzled zealot]

Is it normal to have tons of scripts layered onto game objects? I moved to the MVC pattern and now have 14 scripts layered onto a single item: moving, shooting, health, selectable, localGUI, grouping, faction. There's no end in sight.

[shell sorrel]

its a approach, as long as its work for you

[silk night]

Yes in that case its normal, if you dont want to layer it directly onto the gameobject i can suggest the ECS pattern, in that case you have background systems doing the work and you just hold components on your gameobjects (not the unity components, component is a term in this pattern)

[shell sorrel]

though feels odd you would have GUI stuff on the same object

like moving shooting health etc makes sense UI not so much

[grizzled zealot]

It's local object management (spite colouring, etc)

I shouldn't call lit UI.

[shell sorrel]

ah

[grizzled zealot]

It's all the stuff the other views don't directly manage.

[summer stump]

No.
Read the bot

[royal linden]

why do i have to go to a link

[summer stump]

Because it is the rules here
Which is why there is a bot command for it

[summer stump]

I aint downloading anything

[silk night]

1. Your script only modifies the rotation of the playerCamera
2. Your script only modifies the x axis of the rotation of your camera, so you can only look up and down

[silk night]

Is that mobile? For me it just shows up as code

[summer stump]

Yes. Embeds only happen on desktop

Which is why sending it like that is against the rules on this server

[grizzled zealot]

how does the ECS differ from MVC? I still have individual aspects that control functions/features in different scripts, but I separate them between control (e.g., user input handling) and graphical representation contrl (=view)

[silk night]

Ahh got it, ty

[summer stump]

But if someone can and is willing to help, it's all good

[summer stump]

Ecs is not separated by the same lines I guess. Systems can control visuals or input or whatever

Components are simply data containers, which can also hold visual or input data

[silk night]

Your objects (entities) like the player just store a big list of values (components), depending on the state of those values they get manipulated by systems [Entity, Component, System, in short ECS]

Very simplified example: your players velocity component has a value of 1, so the movement system changes your players position by 1 value each frame

[summer stump]

Entities are basically just indexes

[royal linden]

sorry im not sure how to do that

[summer stump]

Systems are logic
Components are data
Entities are indexes for the components being acted ok by the systems (and form archetypes inside chunks)

[grizzled zealot]

I have SOs + a separate object for dynamic stats as the entity. Every player has a link to a base-SO and a live stats object. In MVC, the controllers change the live stats object, and the views listen to changes of the live stats to update the interface. How does this loop work in ECS?

The SOs+live stats object form the model.

[summer stump]

They were pointing out what is wrong, not what to do
I can't help without seeing the code though, so I dunno

[silk night]

If you got it from a youtube video it should be in there, if its not you should test around with the line that revolves around the camera

[minor patio]

it really doesn't like that cast 😦

[silk night]

Make the CompetenciesList return an array instead of that IEnumerable shenenigans, and rename the function accordingly 😄

[minor patio]

lol will do

[silk night]

I created a thread to talk about it in there, dont want to spam the main channel 😄 #1218032527680208996

[dark kettle]

decided to take another approach to the endless runner genre, found a sample scene with movement and grapple mechanics, and tried to repurpose my code to procedurally spawn buildings for the player to swing from using a trigger box to determine whether to spawn or destroy a building. the code works on start, but none of the other code works and idk why

[thorn holly]

What’s the issue? The building isn’t moving?

[thorn holly]

What exactly is going wrong?

[dark kettle]

I dont want the buildings to move, I want more to spawn. I want an endless amount of buildings for the player to swing to/from

[rich adder]

this is broad of a question

how do you want to spawn them, where in relation to player, etc..

using a trigger probably wont scale well

[dark kettle]

I thought my code handled that tbh. 0-51 of whatever measurement that is away from the building that the trigger box was entered/exited of

[rich adder]

no because you need to pass it that

you're putting world coordinates

[dark kettle]

I thought i did lol

those are world coordinates?

how do I make it local, then?

[rich adder]

yes you would need to use +

[dark kettle]

+?

ohhhh

wait no I dont get it

[rich adder]

Vector3 thePosition = theBuilding.transform.position + new Vector3(etc.

[dark kettle]

I thought I did lol

so how would I modify this code to do that?

 if (other.gameObject.CompareTag("New_Building_Trigger"))
        {
            Instantiate(Building, new Vector3(Random.Range(0,51),0, Random.Range(0,51)), Quaternion.identity);
        }```

[rich adder]

transform.position + new Vector3(etc.

if you want it to relation of the building that spawned new building

[minor patio]

phew
back to a non-error state

[rich adder]

also Random.insideUnitSphere is also an option

[dark kettle]

hows that different from the random.range?

so for your first suggestion, it would be:

 if (other.gameObject.CompareTag("New_Building_Trigger"))
        {
            Instantiate(Building,Vector3 thePosition = theBuilding.transform.position + new Vector3(Random.Range(0,51),0, Random.Range(0,51)), Quaternion.identity);
        }

???

and what is thePosition and theBuilding?

[rich adder]

dont mindlessly copy example code

try to understand what is happening

Vector3 thePosition is a made up example name, and it certainly would not be declared inside a method param like that

[dark kettle]

I dont understand what is happening or how to apply what you mentioned

[rich adder]

go through the basics then

start with c#

learn how to store info in variables etc

[dark kettle]

I know what variables do, but I dont get how to apply what you mentioned to my situation or what that difference does

[bronze trout]

If anyone has a fix to what i posted in #archived-code-general I would appreciate the help ty

[rich adder]

i explained what it does, it adds onto the offset

[summer stump]

Please don't cross-post or redirect from other channels.
#📖┃code-of-conduct #854851968446365696

[dark kettle]

I tried to apply what you mentioned to my code though, and I wanna make sure I applied it correctly. I dont have a variable for the position or the building, though, so the variables dont make sense in the current context

[bronze trout]

Okay thats my fault wont happen again

[rich adder]

then why didn't you use the second example ?

[dark kettle]

I missed that

so would it look like this?

        {
            Instantiate(Building, transform.position + new Vector3(Random.Range(0,51),0, Random.Range(0,51)), Quaternion.identity);
        }

Try it

[dark kettle]

it still doesnt work

[rich adder]

then verify the code is even running past if statement

[dark kettle]

how can I do that? I know how to do that in unreal, but not here

[rich adder]

Debug.Log($"hit {other.gameObject.name} tagged with : {other.gameObject.tag}");

Might be good to learn the common debugging methods. Look it up.

[silk night]

It took so much time to really be able to use the debugger stuff in rider efficiently but i always go back to caveman tactics anyways and just Debug.Log 😄 i cant be the only one

[teal viper]

I do it often too. Specifically when I want to diagnose a system as a whole and not fix one specific bug.

[dark kettle]

no debug about what I put in the script, but there is this thing from a plugin that the file came with on install

[teal viper]

That a screenshot of the whole console tab.

[dark kettle]

I remember debug.log now, its been a while since I had to type that. yea, I only ever use that loll, its pretty effective

[silk night]

The error is very descriptive of whats going wrong

[dark kettle]

how so?

that has to do with the swing mechanics, not the building system

[long oracle]

Hey i got a question on a bug and its most likely user error

i got bones and animation but how do i assign that to each other

everything ive done has failed and im stuck t posing lol

[teal viper]

Is that code related?

[long oracle]

my bad

im in the wrong section i think

[dark kettle]

im annoyed that idk how to fix my procedural building spawner

[teal viper]

Break it down

And go learn the basics.

[dark kettle]

that doesnt really help me with this problem specifically. its definitely important to learn, although I thought I had learned them, but thats not really practical advice for this particular coding problem. also, I am used to unreal blueprints, and its been a while since Ive messed with code, so I am familiar with programming enough to know the basics, just not really able to figure out this problem here. Im trying to get back into unity, but it annoys me that I can run circles around myself in unreal compared to here

[radiant frigate]

how can i learn the basics? what do i need to install?

[dark kettle]

a crypto miner that lets you download ram

Well, yes, telling somebody to go learn the basics won’t fix your problem, but it’ll make the process of us helping you much easier for everyone

And you might even figure it out yourself
