[wintry quarry]

so there's a good possibility we need some conversion

[slender nymph]

ah yeah good point

[hexed fractal]

the script is within the player

so they arent the same

lol

cant i just use

camera.main

than have a variable for that

[wintry quarry]

sure but it will be less efficient

don't get distracted by other issues lol

[hexed fractal]

i made it Vector3

and it moves

more weirdly

lol

[worthy merlin]

Yeahhh still nothing. I got all the extensions installed to my VSC so idk why its acting like it doesn't exist

[hexed fractal]

btw a guy thats making a huge planet vr game

gave me that

way

to get input

[slender nymph]

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

Name resolution ambiguity
Because the classes share the name Random, it can be easy to get a CS0104 "ambiguous reference" compiler error if the System and UnityEngine namespaces are both brought in via using. To disambiguate, either use an alias using Random = UnityEngine.Random;, fully-qualify the typename e.g. UnityEngine.Random.InitState(123);, or eliminate the using System and fully-qualify or alias types from that namespace instead.

[polar acorn]

Read the message. It's not saying it doesn't exist. Quite the opposite, you've imported two namespaces that both have a class Random

You have to pick one

[slender nymph]

although in this case it's a collision between UnityEngine.Random and Unity.Mathematics.Random rather than System.Random

[worthy merlin]

oooh I see. thx

[hexed fractal]

im confused the hell u mean

[slender nymph]

do what praetor told you

[hexed fractal]

where

[hexed fractal]

i did

[polar acorn]

Show the updated code

[hexed fractal]

so where do i "use AddRelativeForce"

theres many places u are talking about

[slender nymph]

just do what praetor said.

[hexed fractal]

I DID

WHAT ELSE

[slender nymph]

then what is the fucking problem now?

does it not work?

[hexed fractal]

you are literally telling me that i can remove multiplications and MAGICALLY use something else

so i DONT need to do that?

[slender nymph]

since you clearly don't understand it, then don't fucking do it

[hexed fractal]

you wont tell me what you are on about

[polar acorn]

Show the updated code

[slender nymph]

you don't need to do anything.

it's like you didn't even read all of the context

[hexed fractal]

then dont tell me what i should do if you then say i dont need to

[static bay]

What's going on in here?

[summer stump]

It was a suggestion
You ignored them, and didn't read the next message

[polar acorn]

I dunno I'm trying to find out but they won't send code

[final kestrel]

Hey all! I have this first person game and I am trying to do the door mechanic. What method or ways should I look into to be able to interact with the door only when I'm looking at it?

[polar acorn]

A raycast from the camera's your best bet, or a box/sphere cast if you want to be looking near it but not directly at it

https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/CameraRays.html

[hexed fractal]

Vector3 movementForce = ((Input.GetAxisRaw("Vertical") * Vector3.forward) + (Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal") * Vector3.right)).normalized * movementSpeed;
movementForce = cameraTransform.TransformDirection(movementForce);
_rigidBody.AddForce(movementForce, ForceMode.Force);

I thought you were talking to another person

[final kestrel]

Thanks!

[slender nymph]

if only there was [extra context](#💻┃code-beginner message) that was added that made it pretty clear all you needed to do was what praetor told you to do which is also what i said you should be following after the fact

[hexed fractal]

this message told me absolutely nothing

[summer stump]

Incorrect

[hexed fractal]

its just them saying that i should do what they "suggested"

[polar acorn]

Okay, so, you've got movementForce as a vector in X and Z, then you apply the camera's transform to that, which turns it into camera's right and forward, then you add that force to _rigidbody. What is happening that you aren't expecting to happen?

[hexed fractal]

thats literally all it told me

[summer stump]

Then you misread it. Because that is not what it says at all
Those blue words are a link

[obtuse axle]

Hello, I have a question about camera movement, is there a general way to avoid moving the whole body towards where the camera is looking at?

[hexed fractal]

i know?

it was useless to look at it

because i already seen it

[obtuse axle]

I have a character that faceplants on the ground when i look at the ground

[hexed fractal]

what conversion

[slender nymph]

they are probably now interpreting the message i linked to as something they should do, rather than as context for why they don't need to shouldn't remove the TransformDirection call

[polar acorn]

So, you've got movement relative to the camera, but since the camera's at an angle, you're moving into the floor, right?

[hexed fractal]

what

how many times i read that i dont see anything saying i shouldnt do that

[obtuse axle]

uh it's more like the character moves along with the camera

[hexed fractal]

😭

[obtuse axle]

and i want it to not move when im looking up or down, but it can rotate its body if i move left and right with the cam

[polar acorn]

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Vector3.ProjectOnPlane.html
You take the camera-space vector and project it on the plane with the normal Vector3.up. So instead of using your camera vector, use Vector3.ProjectOnPlane(thatVector, Vector3.up)

@hexed fractal if I had to guess, I think that might be your problem as well, but I don't know what the exact issue is

[obtuse axle]

or maybe its not related to code but to cam hierarchy idk

[hexed fractal]

now i gotta rotate the player smoothly towards the direction im moving

[hexed fractal]

its working so

[polar acorn]

Ah, alright then

[hexed fractal]

i dont see any difference to transform.forward and Vector3 forward

to the movement

i guess its just "correct"

[polar acorn]

They're the same if and only if this object is pointing at exactly negative z

if the object rotates at all, they become different values

[hexed fractal]

when i walked in a diagonal with transform.forward it was jittery. the player

[polar acorn]

In this case, you don't want the rotation of this object to affect your movement, just the rotation of the camera, so you'd use Vector3.forward and then transform it in the camera's direction

[wintry quarry]

Vector3.forward is literally (0,0,1)
transform.forward is whatever direction the object is facing

[hexed fractal]

Vector3.forward made it smooth and move straight

[wintry quarry]

Also note that cam.TransformDirection(Vector3.forward) is the same as cam.forward

[polar acorn]

Yeah, it probably rotated slightly when it hit the wall and caused the calculation to be slightly different, then when you transformed it to the camera, it became off in the opposite direction, and basically pingponged back and forth

[hexed fractal]

Y i p p e e

[tall delta]

if it makes you feel better I don't really understand why people seems to be so upset with you...
anyways, reading this makes a lot of sense. there isn't anything inherently more correct about using transform.forward vs Vector3.forward but they don't work the same, and that's important to be aware of. for a VR game transform might make more sense honestly, but for a 'normal' third person game, Vector3 is more inline with 'standard' movement.

[hexed fractal]

m k

Im assuming SmoothDamp for the player rotating to its moving direction?

lol

[visual hedge]

I give up... I tried fixing and it still adds to that list.
Logic is next:
My basic attack has

    [SerializeField]
    protected List<StatusEffectList> applyStatusEffects = new();
    public List<StatusEffectList> ApplyStatusEffects { get => applyStatusEffects; protected set => applyStatusEffects = value; }

Basic attack itself does not apply any, but when we have certain passive skills, they work only if the hero is using basic attack.
So for that I take that list from the struct, and add needed status effect in there. It was supposed to add status effect to some instance, and not to the source. This is how it appears there.
And now I have no idea how to prevent it modifying the source.

[slender nymph]

again, List is a reference type. when you make a copy of a struct that has a reference type as one of its fields it copies the reference to that object. so your struct has been copied, but it's still the same list

[visual hedge]

yeah, that's what gets that trouble. How do I work around that?

[slender nymph]

create a new list

and if that list contains reference types then you'd want to create new instances of those too

[polar acorn]

Easiest way to copy a list is new List<___>(oldList)

[visual hedge]

dammit... will try, while I was trying to fix that issue I guess I broke good working code now 😄

[hexed fractal]

After i actually get good at programming

in c#

id want to make classes for enemies i guess

[uncut light]

ok thank you

[crisp moon]

I have some questions.
what are some must have free resources or plugins to use with unity that could help?
do i start with 2d or 3d which is more for beginners?
How do i get an idea if im struggle with ideas or overthinking ideas?

that is it for now, i know there silly but im debating if gamedev is even for me or not.

[visual hedge]

                var PassiveSkills = GetComponent<Abilities>().PassiveSkills;
                List<StatusEffectList> NewList = new (actionSettings.applyStatusEffects);
                for (int i = 0; i < PassiveSkills.Count; i++)
                {
                    if (PassiveSkills[i].trigger == Trigger.DEAL_MELEE_DAMAGE)
                    {
                       NewList = PassiveSkills[i].ApplyEffect(NewList);
                    }
                }

and ApplyEffect(NewList); =

    public virtual List<StatusEffectList> ApplyEffect(List<StatusEffectList> effects)
    {
        List<StatusEffectList> NewEffects = new(effects);
        if (ApplyStatusEffects.Count > 0)
        {
            foreach (StatusEffectList status in ApplyStatusEffects)
            {
                NewEffects.Add(status);
            }
        }
        Debug.Log("ActionSettings updated with new information");
        return NewEffects;
    }

dammn... going to test that now...

LESSSSGGGOOO! that works, thank you!

[shell matrix]

Hello guys. I'm having a problem with drawing a line in Unity's OnDrawGizmos() function. The line, intended for ground checking from the player's position down, is misaligned and appears next to the player instead of through it. Any advice on troubleshooting and resolving this would be helpful, thanks a lot!

[spark otter]

Any recommendation on how to "split" big character controller to multiple sub-system scripts?

I want to know what is the correct/popular way to do this, thanks in advance to all the helpers! 🙂

[summer stump]

First step is to think about what the script is doing now

[teal viper]

How big is it?

[summer stump]

Do you have animation included? Things like that?

[wintry quarry]

What's the goal exactly? The best reason to split it is if you want to reuse some part of it elsewhere without the rest of it

[teal viper]

Share the code

[spark otter]

for example I want to create an extensible Combat system that will be used with both character and ai enemies

[summer stump]

Combat would surely not be part of movement, for example. So there is AT LEAST two scripts

Enemy AI would probably have a brain

That controls various components

[spark otter]

So I just attach both scripts on the character?
it doesn't override stuff by any chance (like the update function) right?

[summer stump]

Well, you would attach things that need to be used. What do you mean override? Like inheritance? It's up to you

[spark otter]

sorry for the basic question, new to unity lol

[summer stump]

It's all good!

[ivory bobcat]

You could probably remove the if statement as having zero elements would end the foreach statement immediately.

[spark ravine]

Woudl smth. like this work?

private IEnumerator ResetBool(bool boolToReset, float cd)
{
    yield return new WaitForSeconds(cd);
    boolToReset = true;
}

I am trying to make a function that can reset any bool that is passed in

[queen adder]

[SerializeField] private GameObject pawn;

void Start()
{
    StartCoroutine(SpawnPawnRepeatedly());
}

IEnumerator SpawnPawnRepeatedly()
{
    // Loop indefinitely
    while (true)
    {
        // Wait for 3 seconds
        yield return new WaitForSeconds(3);

        // Instantiate the pawn at the same position as the current GameObject
        Instantiate(pawn, transform.position, Quaternion.identity);
    }
}

Why the pawn spawns in the center instead of where my empty object is?
the script is attached to the empty game object
there is an animation on the pawn but only changes rotation of it

[ivory bobcat]

boolToReset will not reflect on the argument being passed in

[spark ravine]

is there an easy way to do that or do I have to create sperate functions?

[polar acorn]

You could use ref I think?
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/language-reference/keywords/method-parameters#ref-parameter-modifier

[brave compass]

👆, but you can't use it with an iterator method (yield).

[ivory bobcat]

The variable would need to be visible to the calling function if it's a primitive.

[spark ravine]

yep

[polar acorn]

Yeah, that's what I was considering. I've never used ref with a coroutine

wasn't sure if it would work and it looks like it can't

[visual hedge]

thank you, you are right. Done )

[spark ravine]

yep ok

gonna make diffrent functions then I guess

[slender nymph]

alternatively you could make your coroutine accept an Action parameter then just invoke that action after the delay

that would allow you to use it for more than just resetting bools

and you would just pass in a delegate that changes the value of the bool whenever you call it

[quick summit]

Hi I am trying to make a 2d game where i can launch stuff and the further you go the more money you get and the player is a water melon. does anyone know what to do?

[slender nymph]

don't crosspost. but what specifically are you having trouble with?

if the answer is "all of it" then you should start with some beginner courses like the ones on the unity !learn site

[eternal falcon]

:teacher: Unity Learn ↗

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

[polar acorn]

The player is a watermelon? Well, it's going to take a whole lot of science to genetically modify a watermelon capable of holding a controller

[quick summit]

yeah

and it like breaks

and you gotta buy armor

[quick summit]

would that be a good game do you think?

[quick summit]

like would you play it

[night mural]

i would eat a watermelon

[teal viper]

You don't want your players to break. Might lead to criminal charges.

why does this happen

[polar acorn]

You have code that changes the value

[earnest basalt]

i dont

i really dont

[slender nymph]

show the Player class

[austere hedge]

press0, press1, and press2 are ints. I'm looking for a more optimized way to do this, since this would require 10 if's for every digit pressed:

        if (press0.IsPressed())
        {
            NumPadController.Attack(0);
        }
        else if (press1.IsPressed())
        {
            NumPadController.Attack(1);
        }
        else if (press2.IsPressed())
        {
            NumPadController.Attack(2);
        }

I'm assuming I need to do a for loop, but I haven't figured out how to get the proper syntax. How to I increment the number on the int's name and the number in the NumPadController.Attack() input parameter?

[wintry quarry]

int doesn't have an IsPressed() method

[wintry quarry]

so it's unclear what you mean by them being ints

[slender nymph]

you're creating a new instance right there in Start

[polar acorn]

The very first thing you do is create a new Athletics object which completely overwrites anything you had there before

So yes, you do have code setting it to 0

[earnest basalt]

ohh

i see !

[austere hedge]

press0, press1, and press 2 are bindings for the InputController class.

[wintry quarry]

So they're actually InputAction you mean, not int?

put all the InputActions in an array.

for (int i = 0; i < myActions.Length; i++) {
  if (myActions.IsPressed()) NumpadController.Attack(i);
}```

[shell matrix]

https://paste.ofcode.org/XkpWZFPZCec3yfhi9mRqNV

Can you show a screenshot of the object selected with the gizmo visible

[trail chasm]

Hello i have an object transform rotation (0,90,-90) in my code i need to extract it in this form so i did transform.rotation.euleurangle but i return me (0, 90 ,270) i cant find a function who works properly help

[polar acorn]

Those are the same values

[trail chasm]

yea

[slender nymph]

this sounds like an XY problem
https://xyproblem.info

what is the actual purpose of getting the rotation as signed angles

[polar acorn]

So, whatever you're doing shouldn't care what form the rotation is in, those are the exact same rotation so it should work

[trail chasm]

thanks next question im working on UV mapping an object in unity to access it in game like im flattening a cube when i click on a face of his patron it access the cube is there any way to do it easly or i need to sort every face manually?

[visual hedge]

just out of curiosity... even is I would make that list Private, it would still be modified, right?

[austere hedge]

public InputAction[] press = new InputAction[9];

    // Start is called before the first frame update
    void Start()
    {
        for (int i = 0; i < press.Length; i++)
        {
            press[i].Enable();
            Debug.Log(press[i] + "has been enabled.");
        }
    }

I'm not sure press 0-9 is being enabled since the log is showing press[i] as blank in the Debug.Log section. I've also tried press[i].ToString().

[wintry quarry]

did you actually assign your InputActions in the array?

based on this code it's just going to give you blank serialized input actions that you'd have to set up in the inspector

especially since you made it public it's being serialized

[shell matrix]

this?

[polar acorn]

No, the object, in the scene, with your drawn gizmo available

make sure the object is selected so it also draws the transform gizmo

[quick summit]

unity isn't working fro me

[thorn holly]

Can you elaborate?

[austere hedge]

No, I ended up losing all my bindings when doing this unfortunately. I'm trying to figure out how to assign them as an InputAction.

[wintry quarry]

how did you get the references before?
Use the same approach, just put them in the array

[quick summit]

it says something about unity version control

[wintry quarry]

Could you be a little more vague please?

[shell matrix]

i m lost

[austere hedge]

I did it like this.

    public InputAction press0;
    public InputAction press1;
    public InputAction press2;
    public InputAction press3;
    public InputAction press4;
    public InputAction press5;
    public InputAction press6;
    public InputAction press7;
    public InputAction press8;
    public InputAction press9;

[wintry quarry]

oof - why

yeah definitely use an array instead of this

[polar acorn]

So you just need to do that again, but in the array

[slender nymph]

yes, private does not prevent the reference from being the same when you copy the struct

[polar acorn]

send a screenshot of the object, selected, with the gizmos available

[summer stump]

And what is the issue?

[quick summit]

I can't create a projekt

[summer stump]

Deselect the cloud option or select an organization

[summer stump]

Just LOOK at the stuff there

[quick summit]

oh

thank you

[austere hedge]

Not sure what the syntax is for adding those InputActions to the array.

I tried these:

public InputAction[] press = new InputAction[press0, press1, press2, ...];
public InputAction[] press = new InputAction[InputAction press0, InputAction press1, InputAction press2, ...];

[wintry quarry]

nah

[polar acorn]

Add them in the inspector

[wintry quarry]

Just public InputAction[] pressActions; and set them up in the inspector @austere hedge

[polar acorn]

Just declare the array and then define them in the inspector

[shell matrix]

My gizmos appear only in the game window, in the scene window it does not appear

[polar acorn]

That is like, the opposite of how gizmos work

They only appear in the game window if you specifically enable them

they're always present in scene view

[shell matrix]

and what do I do if it does not appear in the scene window?

[stoic glen]

How can I prevent the player from, falling over edges?
Like having an invisible wall

[austere hedge]

As I add or remove elements from the InputAction array, it is changing the name from element to Input Action. Does it matter that it changes?

[summer stump]

You can use raycasting to see if the ground drops too much

[stoic glen]

I also thought about this, but how can I implement that if there is an edge it cant move in this direction?

[wintry quarry]

Nah

[summer stump]

Well the raycast would tell you there is an edge, and you just disable movement in that direction

[polar acorn]

Then I guess just send a screenshot of the object in scene view with the transform gizmo visible and a separate screenshot in game view with your custom gizmo visible

[austere hedge]

Thank you PraetorBlue and digiholic, I have the InputAction array working properly.

[winged meadow]

i can't find the device simulator link to instal it in package manager

[worthy merlin]

I have this code which generates 5k particles as objects into my game, it gets the object viewer very cluttered. Is there a way I can make these and nest them under another object to keep the menu readable?

[polar acorn]

Give them a parent object

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Object.Instantiate.html

[floral pewter]

ayo! am i right in assuming ahead-of-time dictionaries are like ahead-of-time lists except they have attached values?
if so, i'm thinking of using a dictionary instead of a list to have a chance value (right column floats/integers) dictate object occurance (left column, with strings/objects)
is that what this sort of thing is used for?

[worthy merlin]

Sometimes I feel like I need a cert in googling, thx for this

[polar acorn]

I, uh, I have no idea what this is

and I've been using Unity for like ten years

Is this a plugin or package?

[slender nymph]

it's some #763499475641172029 stuff

[floral pewter]

ignore the picture.
tldr: AoT lists and AoT dictionaries, are dictionaries just lists with the second value flavouring the first?

[slender nymph]

no

[floral pewter]

damn

[polar acorn]

I don't know what AoT means but a Dictionary is like a list but indead of the index being a numerical value counting up from 0, it's whatever you want it to be

[slender nymph]

Dictionaries are a collection of Key Value pairs. where a key (the first item) is used instead of an index to get the value (the second item)

keys are unique in a dictionary and you also cannot have a null key

[floral pewter]

wait so like, where a list is
thing1 = 0
thing2 = 1
thing3 = 2
a dictionary is
thing1 = (what ever number i pick)
thing2 = (what ever number i pick)
thing3 = (what ever number i pick)
?

[polar acorn]

Where a list is [thing1, thing2, thing3] a dictionary is {thing1: value1, thing2: value2, thing3: value3}

[frosty hound]

Which, to be clear, isn't your example above digi's. You just made three similarily named variables, which is not a list.

[winged meadow]

i can't find the device simulator link to instal it in package manager

[slender nymph]

this is a code channel

[frosty hound]

It's also still a experimental package (I believe), so you'll probably have to enable experimental packages in your manager.

[floral pewter]

oh! so i /can/ set something like rarity in those value fields?
'''{card1name: 25, card2name: 30, card3name: 70}

it has dawned on my that i don't know how to start code blocks in discord

[polar acorn]

Sure, you can look up a value by name. Think about an actual dictionary. You look up a word (key) and get a definition (value)

[floral pewter]

ahhhhhhhhhhhhh

it has clicked

my good sir, thank you very much

[pallid verge]

Is "starts pressing" different than "pressed down"?

[slender nymph]

no, those methods do the same thing. but one is used to query a specific key (Input.GetKeyDown) the other queries a button set up in your input manager settings (Input.GetButtonDown)

also for future reference, don't crop the method name out. i had to actually open the docs manually to see what that second one was

[pallid verge]

oh my bad

well if they are the same then why are their desciptions different

bc when i try to use the first method, i have to press the key multiple times for it to work

let me show u the full code

one sec

[floral pewter]

one lets the player setup their own buttons i think

[slender nymph]

let me guess, you're calling this in FixedUpdate?

[slender nymph]

lol yup there it is.

[pallid verge]

[slender nymph]

don't poll input in physics updates. input should be checked in Update

there's also a good chance that this could just a be a physics query instead of relying on trigger messages

[pallid verge]

well i want to return true only when the player is colliding with that object AND pressing the button

should i make a bool for the collision check and use it in update?

[slender nymph]

you could, or (again) this could just be a physics query like an OverlapBox or whatever. so you check for input, if the input is true then you perform the overlapbox, if that is true then you call the method

[pallid verge]

what is an overlapbox

[slender nymph]

then you won't be relying on trigger messages and can even get rid of the trigger collider

[pallid verge]

is my method valid

[shell matrix]

this ?

[shell matrix]

this?

[polar acorn]

Sure but show the transform gizmo, the thing that shows up when you select an object. The arrows that let you move something around

[shell matrix]

don t work to put the picture

a ok work

[polar acorn]

Send a picture of this object with the transform gizmos visible and set to "pivot"

[shell matrix]

okk

was set

[polar acorn]

So it looks like the line is doing exactly what it should be doing

[neon ivy]

is it me or does setting transform.up reset the entire rotation, I'm trying to set transform.up to the inverse of my gravity direction and rotate the player based on the movement direction and camera rotation. each seperately works but the moment I put them together it just dies

[shell matrix]

I made the line so that when it touches the ground it jumps and it doesn't jump

[final kestrel]

Hey. I wrote a script that teleports the player when the conditions are met. The teleportation works just fine, but I also want to reset player's camera position to the destination position which is the other side of the door. I tried to do the thing on the second script but the camera just flickers till I move my mouse.
https://hatebin.com/slucqzpmgk, https://hatebin.com/sbdquuyqsl.

[polar acorn]

Well, yes, it rotates the object such that it's up direction points in whatever value you set it to

[final kestrel]

destination is just a simple empty with a trigger box collider.

[shell matrix]

just run or stay but doesn t jumb and before to do the line

[polar acorn]

This is a different problem than the one you asked about

Show the code

[shell matrix]

https://paste.ofcode.org/XkpWZFPZCec3yfhi9mRqNV

[polar acorn]

First off, literally what is the point of this function

Just call CollisionCheck()

All this function does is call CollisionCheck. You should just do that

Second, what is ground and what layer is your actual ground object on

Also groundCheckDistance

[neon ivy]

not sure how to fix my problem then...

[shell matrix]

ground it s layer mask object i use to make Raycast and groundCheckDistance I can set how long the line that appears in the editor

[polar acorn]

What are they set to

[shell matrix]

i m lost again

[winged meadow]

device simulator doesn't work cause of this
Compiler error CS0121

[polar acorn]

I literally do not know how else to ask this

This isn't even complicated

I just want to know what those are set to

[wintry quarry]

Is this package code? Make sure your packages are all up to date.

[winged meadow]

give me this damn link to dowload it i can't find it

[wintry quarry]

To download what

open your package manager

[winged meadow]

[wintry quarry]

It's a package, you manage it from the package manager

[winged meadow]

where

[wintry quarry]

[long matrix]

float targetVelocityX = moveX * moveSpeed;
rb.AddForce(Vector2.right * targetVelocityX * acceleration, ForceMode2D.Force);
// Limit velocity

// Decelerate if no input

} guys is it a good way to move 2d character horizontaly? how can i make it smoother

[winged meadow]

its not here

i need the link

[wintry quarry]

The link to what?

[winged meadow]

.git

device simulator dowload

[wintry quarry]

You download it from the package manager

because it's a package

https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.device-simulator@3.1/manual/index.html

[winged meadow]

where in the package manager

[shell matrix]

this?

[polar acorn]

Yes good finally

Now, what layer is the ground on

[carmine turret]

Im currently refactoring my code to not be a complete mess, Im trying to understand enumerator and how its used as I felt this would be a better solution than having a million bools for each state since none of them can be true at the same time.

How do I check if the enumerator is currently set to a specfiic one?

ie

    public enum movementState{
        Grappling,
        Hookshoot,
        Grounded,
        Airborne
    }

The obvious thought if(movementState == "Grappling") doesnt work so I clearly dont understnad enums

[polar acorn]

if (someMovementStateVariable == movementState.Grappling)

[carmine turret]

(Ill probably use a switch instead of if statements though)

Oh, do I need to have a second movement state variable to store it?

[polar acorn]

Do you have a first movementState variable?

[carmine turret]

the enumerator

[polar acorn]

That's the type

do you have a variable of that type

[carmine turret]

no

I thought an enumerator was simply a type of variable 😄

[polar acorn]

Then what are you trying to check the value of

[winged meadow]

where is device simulator

[polar acorn]

It is. You've created a type named movementState and you can have a variable of that type, just like you can int or bool or GameObject

[carmine turret]

you need to change packages to all and then search for it

[polar acorn]

It's a variable that can only hold those specific values

[carmine turret]

oh wait so ive made a datatype?

[polar acorn]

Yes, that's what an enum is

[carmine turret]

like how bool holds true or false

gotcha

thank you

[shell matrix]

Layer 'ground' is set to 'Ground' in Unity project. => [SerializeField] private LayerMask ground;

[polar acorn]

Yes, you can kind of think of it as a boolean with more options

[polar acorn]

no goddammit what layer is the object on

the one you're trying to check if you hit

show it

[summer stump]

Just under the object name in the inspector it shows the layer

Look there for the ground object

[shell matrix]

well i wanna hit the Border

[polar acorn]

Okay, good, it's on the right layer. I'm wondering if the distance might be slightly too short. Increase the distance to 2.1 and see

Actually, now that I look at the code a bit closer, is the issue even that you're not getting the raycast to connect? Have you tried logging isGrounded after your raycast?

[long matrix]

            {
                Debug.Log(rb.velocity.magnitude);

                // Gradually reduce velocity to zero
                float decelerationAmount = deceleration * Time.fixedDeltaTime;
                rb.velocity = new Vector2(Mathf.MoveTowards(rb.velocity.x, 0f, decelerationAmount),rb.velocity.y);
            }``` guys i think something is not right in my decelration skript the magnitude isnt go down to 0 it stay on like '1.322223E-08'

[languid spire]

yep, never check a float for equality

[hexed fractal]

Why do people barely use c# syntax highlighting

in discord

[long matrix]

Steven wdym?

[languid spire]

this
if (moveX == 0f)

[long matrix]

whats wrong i check if he stop move i want deaceleration that it wont immediatly stop

[hexed fractal]

just do if its >= 0

[long matrix]

moveX is the input.getaxisraw("horizontal")

[hexed fractal]

skill

[languid spire]

floats don't work like that, you can never guarantee an EXACT number

[polar acorn]

Because they never read the bot

[short hazel]

1.322e-08 is very close to zero, but not zero. Your condition will fail

[hexed fractal]

xd

[long matrix]

but >= 0 if its >0 he is moving

[hexed fractal]

then do <=

[long matrix]

oh

[hexed fractal]

geez

[long matrix]

you sure its the problem cuz the debug.log() works

[hexed fractal]

== is equality. expecting an exact value equal

[long matrix]

float targetVelocityX = moveX * moveSpeed;
rb.AddForce(Vector2.right * targetVelocityX * acceleration, ForceMode2D.Force);
// Limit velocity
rb.velocity = new Vector2(Mathf.Clamp(rb.velocity.x, -maxSpeed, maxSpeed),rb.velocity.y);
// Decelerate if no input
if (moveX <= 0f)
{
Debug.Log(rb.velocity.magnitude);

            // Gradually reduce velocity to zero
            float decelerationAmount = deceleration * Time.fixedDeltaTime;
            rb.velocity = new Vector2(Mathf.MoveTowards(rb.velocity.x, 0f, decelerationAmount),rb.velocity.y);
        }

didnt fix ti

[hexed fractal]

so just use greater and less thans

[long matrix]

it still stay on wird numbers

it's just not equal to 0

i dont see the deceleration

i should have see it?

[short hazel]

That's roughly 0.0000000099875, but written so it takes up less space

Are you on mobile?
It doesn't show on mobile

[polar acorn]

Doesn't matter much

[polar acorn]

It's fine without highlighting

[hexed fractal]

does it look like mobile

[long matrix]

what?

[short hazel]

Ignore, let's just focus on the issue

[summer stump]

I was just wondering. But yeah, it's not important at all
Formatting is important, highlighting is not

[polar acorn]

Try logging rb.velocity after your MoveTowards

[long matrix]

its not mobile game

[hexed fractal]

i can tell your english isnt that great

i dont see where u got a mobile game from ngl 😭

[summer stump]

Woah

[long matrix]

So wtf mobile

[polar acorn]

Ignore that please

[long matrix]

You rb.velocity in the movetwoards?

[polar acorn]

back on topic of the question

[hexed fractal]

someone kinda said to ignore

[short hazel]

How about you don't say stuff like that?

[polar acorn]

Log the velocity after moveTowards

[hexed fractal]

?? i was just observing

[polar acorn]

I mean, there are many people who are ESL on this server

it's a reasonable thing to ask sometimes

[short hazel]

ESL? wtf

[polar acorn]

float decelerationAmount = deceleration * Time.fixedDeltaTime;
Vector2 newVelocity = new Vector2(Mathf.MoveTowards(rb.velocity.x, 0f, decelerationAmount),rb.velocity.y);
rb.velocity = newVelocity; like this?

[polar acorn]

Just log the value. Debug Log

[hexed fractal]

i dont understand what ur on about

[polar acorn]

See if it's changing

[long matrix]

Oh

[short hazel]

Yeah you could have formulated in a way that's a little bit less abrasive

[hexed fractal]

I didnt know words inflict pain

nor that thats harsh

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[polar acorn]

Drop this or go in a thread there's an actual issue to resolve

[summer stump]

Can you just stop

[floral pewter]

mate

[long matrix]

It still on wird numbers but it calls it every frame but i dont see like 5 goes down to 0 or this wired numbers

[hexed fractal]

im kinda being talked to by people therefore im responding

[long matrix]

float decelerationAmount = deceleration * Time.fixedDeltaTime;
rb.velocity = new Vector2(Mathf.MoveTowards(rb.velocity.x, 0f, decelerationAmount),rb.velocity.y);
Debug.Log(rb.velocity.magnitude);

[polar acorn]

Don't log the magnitude, log the velocity itself. See if the X value moves towards zero

[long matrix]

the rb.velocity.x?

[polar acorn]

That'd be fine too, or just rb.velocity

[long matrix]

Debug.Log(rb.velocity.x); its always 0 ill try wthout .x

Digiholic

it was like -6.3 went to -5.8 -5.3 -5.1 and than straight to 0

5 frames

[polar acorn]

Okay, and presuming it doesn't change ever as you move around? Just for the sake of completeness, try this. I've modified your raycast to no longer check layers and to store the reference to the object so we can print out what it's hitting. It might be hitting something before it reaches the ground. What does this log print?

public bool CollisionCheck()
{    
  isGrounded = Physics.Raycast(transform.position, Vector2.down, out RaycastHit hit, groundCheckDistance);
  Debug.Log($"Raycasting from {transform.position}, distance of {groundCheckDistance}, hit object {hit.collider}");
  return isGrounded;

oh my..

[long matrix]

share it other way xd?

[hexed fractal]

theres 5 links

on that bot

one of those

[long matrix]

https://gdl.space/numukabexi.cs

like this?

[polar acorn]

Yes. It's not the full script like I asked for but it'll do

[hexed fractal]

lmao

[long matrix]

i just have oncollision enter and awake for refrences

[hexed fractal]

is that included in the script

[long matrix]

ye but it wont matter anything

[hexed fractal]

oh my

not saying anything

[polar acorn]

Places that it could be jumping to 0:

• The clamp, depending on what maxSpeed is
• inside of if (movePlatfrom != null && movePlatfrom.clouded)
• inside of if (jumped)

Any of those could set the x velocity to 0 before the deceleration takes it there

[polar acorn]

Okay, so it does hit something. That's on me I should have had you log hit.collider.name, can you add that?

[long matrix]

if (movePlatfrom != null && movePlatfrom.clouded) it doesnt matter cuz it happen when its not true

i talk about first if statement

and even when im not jumping

Maybe

the problem is in the decelration value?

its 50

[polar acorn]

I'd still put a log in there just in case, if it were true for one frame it'd be enough to zero out the x velocity before going back to the first if

[long matrix]

the second if statement can only be true in other scene

and jumped if i click space and i dont

[polar acorn]

Possible, your fixedDeltaTime should be 0.02 assuming you haven't changed it so it should be decelerating by 1 every physics step

[long matrix]

So what is a good value and i realy have to * fixeddeletetime?

[polar acorn]

Yes, if you multiply it by fixedDeltaTime then your deceleration can be thought of as units per second. Right now, you'll decelerate by 50 every second

[visual hedge]

how could one convert ?int to int? 🙂

[polar acorn]

So, if your X speed is 50, you'd reach zero in one second. If it's 25, it'd take half a second, and so on

[polar acorn]

.Value but if you're doing that without checking it for nulls you might as well just not use the ? notation at all

[long matrix]

I removed it to 5 and i see if like i move straight a lot to max speed that is 8 it goes down like -8 -7 -6 -5 good till -4 and from -4 to -0.3 and why its - if i move right

move right*

[visual hedge]

thank you, not using ? works just fine )

[final kestrel]

--> https://hatebin.com/zuwbjangdy This script is responsible for teleporting the player to the destination point. It works just fine on the position.
-->https://hatebin.com/gqbmlptbri and uh this just calls the function and makes the teleport happen.
What i fail to understand is that when I teleport I want my camera to face the destination rotation. But when I come on the other side of the door my camera flickers till I move my mouse again. Can anyone point me the right direction?

[long matrix]

rb.velocity = new Vector2(Mathf.MoveTowards(rb.velocity.x, 0f, decelerationAmount),rb.velocity.y); maybe i should change to lerp?

[polar acorn]

Pretty sure the issue is something else is overwriting it with 0 and not the actual method of deceleration

[long matrix]

And the rb.velocity is - and im moving right it should be like that?

[polar acorn]

Okay so it's not always hitting an object. Hang on let me update the function, I wrote that last one up on mobile and I missed some stuff, clearly

[polar acorn]

public bool CollisionCheck()
{    
  isGrounded = Physics.Raycast(transform.position, Vector2.down, out RaycastHit hit, groundCheckDistance);
  Debug.Log($"Raycasting from {transform.position}, distance of {groundCheckDistance}");
  if (isGrounded){
    Debug.Log($"Raycast successful, hit object: {hit.collider.name} on layer {hit.collider.gameObject.layer}");
  }
  return isGrounded;
}

[long matrix]

Digiholic

Why does the rigidbody.velocity turns into negative number?

[polar acorn]

Okay, does the second log ever appear?

[polar acorn]

Probably because it becomes negative?

[long matrix]

Is it k that it becomes negative?

[polar acorn]

Probably. Assuming that's the direction you're going

[shell matrix]

nope

[long matrix]

No if i go right it goes like up + and change to -

even if im moving right

[polar acorn]

Hm, so the ray isn't hitting anything at all, ever. Are you sure all of your objects are at the same Z value? Do they all have 2D colliders?

[polar acorn]

If you're still using the MoveTowards then it won't go from positive to negative of vice-versa, you're stopping at 0. This leads me to believe that something else is changing it

[long matrix]

No when im moving float targetVelocityX = moveX * moveSpeed;
rb.AddForce(Vector2.right * targetVelocityX * acceleration, ForceMode2D.Force);
// Limit velocity
rb.velocity = new Vector2(Mathf.Clamp(rb.velocity.x, -maxSpeed, maxSpeed),rb.velocity.y); and i move right the rb.velocity start positive and go into negative

idk why

maybe vector2.right is the problem?

[polar acorn]

That's just the constant (1, 0)

[long matrix]

So why it is - when i move right?

[polar acorn]

Unless your moveSpeed or acceleration is negative, it won't be. Again, leading me to believe something else is moving it

[long matrix]

O shit

i just all the time looked at the y

velocity

Wait i see the x isnt changing

float targetVelocityX = moveX * moveSpeed;
rb.AddForce(Vector2.right * targetVelocityX * acceleration, ForceMode2D.Force);
// Limit velocity
rb.velocity = new Vector2(Mathf.Clamp(rb.velocity.x, -maxSpeed, maxSpeed),rb.velocity.y);
Debug.Log("Velocity after clamping: " + rb.velocity);

[shell matrix]

yes the border have colliders 2d

[polar acorn]

Are they all at the same Z position

[long matrix]

Wait so digiholic float targetVelocityX = moveX * moveSpeed;
rb.AddForce(Vector2.right * targetVelocityX * acceleration, ForceMode2D.Force);
// Limit velocity
rb.velocity = new Vector2(Mathf.Clamp(rb.velocity.x, -maxSpeed, maxSpeed),rb.velocity.y);
Debug.Log("Velocity after clamping: " + rb.velocity.x); the rb.velocity.x should be 0 when im moving?

[polar acorn]

Please don't try to mix words with code and please format the code. I can't tell the sentences from the code

[long matrix]

K ill explain

When im logging the x velocity while im moving the velocity in x is 0

shouldnt it have a higher value?

[polar acorn]

That doesn't sound right

[shell matrix]

yes , all object from scene has the Z coordonates (0,0,1)

[long matrix]

float targetVelocityX = moveX * moveSpeed;
rb.AddForce(Vector2.right * targetVelocityX * acceleration, ForceMode2D.Force);
// Limit velocity
rb.velocity = new Vector2(Mathf.Clamp(rb.velocity.x, -maxSpeed, maxSpeed),rb.velocity.y);
Debug.Log("Velocity after clamping: " + rb.velocity.x);

player and board have the same z coordonates bur square doesn t

[polar acorn]

I don't know what any of these objects are, but everything involved in this collision need to have the same Z position

[shell matrix]

so i delete the square ?

[polar acorn]

I have no idea what this square is

but everything involved in the collision needs to have the same z position

[shell matrix]

it s another border

[buoyant schooner]

How do I stop this from happening? I have a base class that has a few child classes on the same object. But the base class public references show on the child's scripts.

[polar acorn]

So you don't want it to show up in the inspector?

[long matrix]

Digiholic maybe the rb.velocity should be 0 and i have to check the magnitude fr idk what to do

[polar acorn]

You could make it protected so it's accessible by the child classes but not settable in the inspector

[buoyant schooner]

I don't want the child classes showing the same public field

[polar acorn]

How would you assign them then?

[buoyant schooner]

my base class has this:

protected GameObject mousePointCollider;

Then it wont show

wait

[polar acorn]

If the object is moving but the logs show a velocity of 0, then it's obviously changing after the log somewhere or it wouldn't be moving

[polar acorn]

That's what you want, right?

[buoyant schooner]

I only want the base class to show the variable

[long matrix]

Digiholic i should see the gameobject accelrating and decelerating in my game if it works?

[polar acorn]

Then how are you assigning it on the derived class

[buoyant schooner]

hmm, idk. I don't want the children to set it. I have a singleton for my base class

I want them to reference the base class for that variable

[shell matrix]

should I start the whole project again?

[polar acorn]

Did you put them all at the same Z position? You said one was different

[polar acorn]

If you don't want the child classes to have this variable, why are they child objects

[shell matrix]

I deleted the object that had different z

[buoyant schooner]

tbh.. idk! I'll not make them the base class and just use the instance instead

[polar acorn]

I don't know if you're using child classes properly. You'd make PlayerMovement a child class of PlayerInput if you want it to be a PlayerInput. It extends another class. It is everything that class is plus some

[buoyant schooner]

yeah, I think i'm using child classes wrong in this instance

[polar acorn]

Tell you what let's just try to speed things along. Send me a screenshot of your entire unity window, with the console visible, with your raycaster object selected, and then another one with the ground below it selected

I can check a bunch of stuff at once

Oh, and do it while the game is running

[glossy compass]

what is the best way to move an object (the player) by dragging them with your mouse in 2D game? would i need to use raycast?

[languid spire]

take a look at the IPointer interfaces

[glossy compass]

is that to detect whether or not my mouse has clicked an object?

[languid spire]

amongst other things, like drag and drop, yes

[glossy compass]

okay i was searching around in unity docs and stuff and most people are just using ScreenToWorldPoint

but im not sure what that or IPointer is lol

[languid spire]

Time to learn
https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/UIE-Pointer-Events.html

[glossy compass]

okay i will thanks

[languid spire]

Sorry, that was the wrong link. Try
https://docs.unity3d.com/2018.3/Documentation/ScriptReference/EventSystems.IPointerClickHandler.html
and the other IPointer interfaces

There is also
https://docs.unity3d.com/2018.3/Documentation/ScriptReference/EventSystems.IDragHandler.html

[shell matrix]

I noticed that now that line no longer appears

[glossy compass]

will this also work with rigidbody2d and physics? so i can move the player around and when i let go the rigidbody2d will still work

[languid spire]

no, if you are moving outside of physics you will need to disable the Rigidbody for the duration of the drag and then reenable it on drop

[polar acorn]

That would probably explain a lot of your problems

[shell matrix]

last time I set it to 2.1, anyway it still doesn't work to jump

and ground i p put ground

i put

[polar acorn]

Also

[shell matrix]

if I set it so that the other objects have z, it still changes as it was before

[summer stump]

Are you changing it while the scene is playing?

[shell matrix]

no

[summer stump]

Wait, maybe I misread what you said. I thought you meant it was changing back

[polar acorn]

Can you fix all that and re-send the screenshot of the object with the Player script on it

[long matrix]

Debug.Log("Current Speed: " + rb.velocity.x);
float targetVelocityX = moveX * moveSpeed;
rb.AddForce(Vector2.right * targetVelocityX * acceleration, ForceMode2D.Force);
rb.velocity = new Vector2(Mathf.Clamp(rb.velocity.x, -maxSpeed, maxSpeed), rb.velocity.y); guys does any1 know why the rb.velocity.x returning 0 when i move no matter where i put the debug.log

[polar acorn]

Wait a minute

I just realized something stupid I should have noticed before

Are you using Physics.Raycast or Physics2D.Raycast

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Physics2D.Raycast.html

[shell matrix]

Physics.Raycast

[languid spire]

whoops

[polar acorn]

By the time I actually had the full context I hadn't looked at the code in like an hour and forgot it was Physics.Raycast

[long matrix]

Digiholic now can you help me xd?

[polar acorn]

I dunno are you going to format your code and separate your text from your code so I can read any of it

[long matrix]

the full code?

https://gdl.space/imufafisez.cpp

[hexed fractal]

do you want help or not

if so

format ur code

[long matrix]

cs //hey

[hexed fractal]

it literally shows

[polar acorn]

I don't know what this means. What are you expecting to happen that isn't happening

[hexed fractal]

that you put your code

in the middle

not on the same line as it

[long matrix]

I expect to have acceleration to make my movement look smoth

smooth

// hey

[polar acorn]

Just calling AddForce over multiple frames should be causing acceleration

As long as the force is constant

[long matrix]

Bro all the day i got called that i need to add acceleration and deacceleration

[hexed fractal]

thats what i did with my movement

[long matrix]

so how to do the movement with addforce i dont understand

[hexed fractal]

i prefered Force over Velocity

[polar acorn]

You're already clamping the velocity so just add some constant force for movement

[long matrix]

i have movespeed

[polar acorn]

A direction times a value

that value determines how fast you accelerate

bigger number means you reach top speed faster

and the clamp keeps you from going over

[long matrix]

ye so direction * movespeed

so i dont need another float named acceleration?

[polar acorn]

Probably not

[long matrix]

i mean i want to move the player in a professional way

[hexed fractal]

You mean easy to control and simple

[long matrix]

ye like hollow knight for example

[hexed fractal]

i use _rigidBody.AddForce();

[long matrix]

ye same but how to add the force inside?

just direction * movespeed?

[hexed fractal]

i use GetAxisRaw

inputs

[long matrix]

same

ye

[hexed fractal]

multiplied by a movement speed

converted to camera direction

then thats my force

[long matrix]

But than i remove the * acceleration that is 50 and i need to make speed be * 50 more like instead of 6 300

[hexed fractal]

so the players movement is the force

my movement speed is 500

kinda normal ish speed

[long matrix]

Wait so you tell me the addforce do the acceleration and the accleration is like make speed being 300 but 6 in inspector?

[hexed fractal]

dont talk about

acceleration

at all

lol

[long matrix]

but i want acceleration

[hexed fractal]

thats

what we are doing

addforce every frame

will speed ur player up every frame

by adding that force

until you reach a max constant speed

thats "acceleration"

the movement speed is how fast you want to accelerate and the top speed

which you can cap probably

so after you get the Vector3 player movement input

you put that in as force

then choose ur force mode

there is an acceleration one..

[long matrix]

And clamp the speed to max speed that it wont go more than that

[hexed fractal]

do you want mass to matter

in how fast you move

[long matrix]

But is it rlly different than rb.velocity?

i dont want mass

[hexed fractal]

ok then use ForceMode.Acceleration

[languid spire]

fyi, Shift+Enter is a thing, please use it

[queen adder]

Hard setting the velocity typically isnt a good idea

[long matrix]

But its 2d

In 2D or 3D

[long matrix]

so you telling me this short code is fine for 2d movement in high level like hollow knight?

and forcemod2d doesnt have .acceleration

[hexed fractal]

ForceMode.Force just includes mass

ForceMode.Acceleration ignores mass

[long matrix]

But im using forcemode2d

[hexed fractal]

c o o l

[long matrix]

K last question

i want to check my current velocity like it starts on 5.5 and accelrate to 7 and want to see how fast how can i do that?

[hexed fractal]

just set the mass to 0 then

with Force

unless u need the mass

lol

[long matrix]

Every gameobject in my game has mass of 1 if using rb so doesnt matter

[hexed fractal]

[rancid tinsel]

just to double check, doing it this way will mean that rather than editing all instances of the script, it will just be a single instance?

[summer stump]

What is the point of moving the reference from one variable to the other?
And yeah, if that is an instance (not a prefab), then it will only reference that instance

[rancid tinsel]

i dont want to accidentally edit the script itself again so im double checking if im doing it right

[swift crag]

iceMachineScript will be whatever has been assigned to the specific instance of this component in the inspector.

Assigning it to iceMachineInstance does nothing other than copy that reference into the variable.

[rancid tinsel]

i see

[swift crag]

also, you declared a local variable

so you didn't assign to the iceMachineInstance field

you've assigned the reference into a new local variable that is then thrown out as the function ends

[rancid tinsel]

yeah thats my bad i didnt notice that

[swift crag]

There is no situation in which modfying iceMachineScript can "edit all instances of the script"

[carmine turret]

is !dashUsed the same as dashUsed == false?

It is right?

[swift crag]

if dashUsed is a bool, then yes, it's the same outcome

[carmine turret]

Thanks

just wanna shorten my code haha

[swift crag]

you rarely want to actually compare against a true or false literal

[rancid tinsel]

might be a silly question, but if I am starting a coroutine, does the next bit in the method still go through before the coroutine is finished? I'm assuming thats the case

[swift crag]

You can never block the main thread.

StartCoroutine does not "wait" until the coroutine method completes

[rancid tinsel]

im a bit stuck on what to do here

[swift crag]

When you invoke a method that returns IEnumerator, you're actually creating a whole state machine that keeps track of what step of the method you've reached

You pass that thing to StartCoroutine. It runs the enumerator until it hits its first yield instruction.

Then it stores the enumerator in a list somewhere in MonoBehaviour

By default, it resumes the enumerator method once per frame

which runs until it hits another yield

[swift crag]

So, when you call StartCoroutine(Slow()), the Slow method gets executed up to the yield return new WaitForSeconds(6f)

Then StartCoroutine returns and OnCollisionEnter2D continues execution as per usual

notably, it sets enemyMovementInstance.moveSpeeed = instanceHolder.moveSpeed;

Six seconds later, the coroutine resumes. It runs instanceHolder.moveSpeed = originalMoveSpeed;

At that point, the coroutine is over.

[rancid tinsel]

i see

that makes sense

[swift crag]

one suggestion: you can just pass EnemyMovement to Slow

[rancid tinsel]

yeah i just asked gpt about it and thats the answer it gave

[swift crag]

StartCoroutine(Slow(enemyMovementInstance));

private IEnumerator Slow(EnemyMovement enemyMovement) {
   // ...
}

Storing the enemy movement object in a field means that you can only run a single Slow coroutine without breaking it

[rancid tinsel]

im completely lost when it comes to putting stuff in the ()

i dont really understand it

[swift crag]

when you invoke a method, you can pass arguments

[buoyant knot]

do not respect any explanation given by chatGPT

[swift crag]

The arguments you need depend on the parameters the method asks for

[rancid tinsel]

well yeah have to take it with a grain of salt

[swift crag]

public int Add(int a, int b) { return a + b; }

this is invoked as

[rancid tinsel]

but for simple issues its a useful tool imo

[swift crag]

int five = Add(2, 3);

[swift crag]

enemyMovementInstance.moveSpeed = instanceHolder.moveSpeed makes no sense, by the way

it does nothing because both enemyMovementInstace and instanceHolder reference the same thing

[rancid tinsel]

oh yeah true lol

[buoyant knot]

chatGPT can produce a document with the right syntax that you request, on the topic of your request. But it doesn’t actually know anything, and so it cannot actually explain anything.

it knows language, not logic

[tender stag]

this adds a force up when a player is in water according how deep he is, so when hes at the top it doesnt add any```cs
if(!isUnderwater)
{
float distance = water.transform.position.y - transform.position.y;
float normalizedDepth = Mathf.Clamp01((distance - minDepth) / (maxDepth - minDepth));

float forceMagnitude = Mathf.Lerp(0f, maxForce, normalizedDepth);
Vector3 force = Vector3.up * forceMagnitude;

rb.AddForce(force, ForceMode.Acceleration);

}and then i have another force acting on the player for horizontal movementcs
rb.AddForce(moveDirection.normalized * swimAcceleration);```

can anyone explain why when i jump into the water and not move it works properly

and when u see in the second half of the clip im swimming around

and the player is bouncing up and down

[buoyant knot]

buoyancy is awkward to implement imo

[swift crag]

I would look at moveDirection

[tender stag]

moveDirection = orientation.forward * y + orientation.right * x;

y and x are raw inputs

[swift crag]

I wonder if whatever you're doing to damp your velocity (you don't oscillate forever in the water in the first half) is getting messed up by movement

The second half is what I'd expect with no damping, actually

[buoyant knot]

in general, in fluids you want to:

1. Damp your usual forces,
2. Add force when making initial contact with fluid
3. Apply buoyant force

[swift crag]

bobbing up and down forever

[tender stag]

might be my speed control

true

nope

[buoyant knot]

the main point I want to make is that order of application and modification of forces with force is very important

[tender stag]

its not

i turned it off

and it still bounces

[buoyant knot]

one way to get it to stop bobbing is to effectively calculate a center of volume/mass, and compare to the water level

and apply force that scales with the delta height

[tender stag]

it works tho

only when im not moving

[buoyant knot]

but you want it to stop bobbing

meaning the force needs to become weak near the surface

[tender stag]

it does

[swift crag]

It doesn't matter if the force becomes weaker

As long as there's no loss of energy, you will bob forever

[quartz granite]

guys i need help for the coding stuff

[buoyant knot]

yeah, some damping factor is probably worth

[swift crag]

I'm guessing you have code that tries to reduce your velocity to zero when you aren't holding down movement keys

[tender stag]

https://dontasktoask.com/

[swift crag]

(or that incidentally does that)

[tender stag]

i increase drag

but its not affected when im swimming

u can see in the video

oh wait

it increased

in the video

when i wasnt moving

[quartz granite]

https://learn.unity.com/tutorial/displaying-score-and-text?uv=2022.3&projectId=5f158f1bedbc2a0020e51f0d#650b5addedbc2a3242890dd4 based on this tutorial for the script for player controller i follwed it step up step and for some reason the ball doesn't move but the rest object moves, so can someone help me with it?

[tender stag]

so how can i damp the force myself?

[quartz granite]

huh

[valid palm]

hi, does anyone have the same issue as I do? Whenever my character dies it takes two lives instead of one

[swift crag]

well, you wrote the code :p

[wintry quarry]

Typically this means you did something incorrectly. Go back and make sure you don't miss anything

[valid palm]

I will send it

[swift crag]

Sounds like you should just add drag when you're touching water

[tender stag]

i fixed the drag issue

now its always bouncing

so just add opposite force?

like down

to damp it

[swift crag]

I'd just make drag higher in water, all the time

[valid palm]

https://pastebin.com/1DDDTdZ1

[tender stag]

cant use drag

[quartz granite]

i did everything step-by-step

[quartz granite]

can u check my codes and see what's the error

[wintry quarry]

you missed something or did something incorrectly

It's not necessarily the code that's the problem

could be something in the editor

e.g. attaching a script to the correct object, arranging the hierarhcy properly, or assigning the right thing to a field in the inspector

[winter laurel]

I've been learning off of Game Makers Toolkit's video for making your first game and I finished the video. At the end he gives you a few promts to make for flappy bird and I wanted to make a start game screen. Im wondering how I change between two diffrent scenes and prevent code in one scene happening before I click a button to load the actul game screen?

[swift crag]

Objects in unloaded scenes do not exist at all

so until you load the game scene, nothing in it exists or does anything

[winter laurel]

How do I unload or load a game scene though?

[swift crag]

You'll want SceneManager.LoadScene

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/SceneManagement.SceneManager.LoadScene.html

using UnityEngine.SceneManagement; is needed

[wintry quarry]

(look at all the SceneManager functions for how to load/unload scenes)

[winter laurel]

Thanks!

[swift crag]

The default mode is single, which means that the new scene replaces all existing scenes

[winter laurel]

Should I write the script to load and unload scenes outside of my gamestart and gameplay scenes? or should I write it in the gamestart scene?

Game start right?

[wintry quarry]

it should definitely be a separate script

[winter laurel]

so outside of both scenes and straight in the hiegharchy with no parents?

[swift crag]

An object can't be outside of a scene.

you can use DontDestroyOnLoad to move it into a special scene that never unloads

But if you just need to go from menu to game and game to menu, I'd just make a component for each case

one that loads the game scene when you click the "start game" button and one that loads the menu scene when you hit the "quit" button

I guess you could make one component that has a string field on it

to decide where you go

public class SceneChanger : MonoBehaviour {
  [SerializeField] string scene;

  public void LoadScene() {
    SceneManager.LoadScene(scene);
  }
}

something like that

then you could just use a UI button to call LoadScene

[winter laurel]

Rn I have this attached to a button

so do I than delete the void start stuff and put that in?

and change the names to fit the names of my scenes?

[swift crag]

That would instantly try to load a scene every frame (if the errors were corrected)

[winter laurel]

ohhh

[swift crag]

this would let you reuse the component for both directions

[winter laurel]

Would I still need that if I already had a play again button?

cause when the birb hits a pipe, it destorys object and that round is over

[rancid tinsel]

would this only change the value on the instance of the script or the script as a whole?

[eternal needle]

On the instance. If the value was static, then the int would be associated with the Type and not the instance

[rancid tinsel]

i dont really understand

could you maybe explain it in simpler terms

[eternal needle]

Oh I just realized you are changing a value on a different script. But to answer simply, if you are changing an int (written as you have above) it will change the int only for that instance of the script. If you have 2 scripts, these ints can both be different values.
If you use the static keyword, the int will be related to the type (class name) like IceScript.enemiesSlowed every instance of a class will see the same value

[rancid tinsel]

ah i see, so as long as its not static, it shouldn't change it for all of them?

[eternal needle]

Yes but hopefully we are talking about the same thing, about 2 instances of 1 script. I notice you have 2 ints both named the same thing on different scripts

These ints are completely unrelated no matter what

[winter laurel]

Right now I currently have two scenes that I want to go from one to the other. I have a title screen (Image 1) and a in game screen (Image 2). But right now they are over lapping (Image 3). How do i get the game to start on the first image, then be able to click the Let's play button to get to the second screen? (I have a working play again button for when the bird dies).

[feral oar]

i have no answer but i want to commend you for that funny title name

[winter laurel]

thanks lol

[low robin]

Help i don't know what is going! i am sopossed to have varibles but for some reason after i added the custom inspector all the varibles went "Goodbye!"

[slender nymph]

Because you have a custom inspector that does not draw those serialized variables

[low robin]

how do i draw the varibles?!

[slender nymph]

Read the documentation pinned in #↕️┃editor-extensions to learn how to create custom inspectors and the like

[split root]

Following GMTKs tutorial for beginners and my "pipes" keep spawning off the screen. I've tried lowering/changing the offset from numbers 0-10 and same result. Does anyone know why/how this is happening? I've tried changing the actual position of the "pipe spawner" gameObject as well to see if it would fix but that didn't change anything either

(Pipe spawner gameObject)

[slender nymph]

You probably need to look at the pivot point of the object being spawned, it's likely lower than where you expect it to be

Either that or you have code on the pipes that changes their Y position

[split root]

I've also tried this.

[slender nymph]

Make sure that your tool handle is set to pivot not center

[split root]

How do I do that?

[split root]

Oh I see, but it seems to also be fine

[slender nymph]

Okay so you know it isn't the pivot. Now check your code to see if there is anything that can affect the Y position

Oh actually I found it. Read the code you posted before VERY carefully again

[split root]

Ahh is it float 'highestPoint = transform.position.x + heightOffset;'

[slender nymph]

Yes

[split root]

I need to change transform.position.x to .y

Thanks

Neither do we unless you show some code, hierarchy-inspector data, console logs etc

[last basin]

i've searched 3 with the Search feature of VScode so ...

[wintry quarry]

it's probably set to that in the inspector

[last basin]

I define my HP to 5 in my GameManager who is a singleton. When i click on my button to go to my main menu and load my game with a Resume button, it reset my value to 3. When i die and respawn for example the value is 5.

I use Playerprefs to save my data and when i get the value just before use .Save() or GetX() its the correct value, not 3.

[wintry quarry]

Debug.Log is your friend

anyway you're missing something clearly

[ivory bobcat]

Make sure to save the player pref before changing scenes

[wintry quarry]

maybe it's set to 5 and then immediately you're losing 2hp for some reason

lots of possibilities

Thanks guys, i'll investigate more

[ivory bobcat]

Relative to #💻┃unity-talk message
It would be something like thiscs position.y = floor.y; @tidal belfry

[tidal belfry]

ohh okays

thank u

[modern spindle]

i was wondering if anyone knew why whenever i set b_c to the same things as the line colidor one point get set too 0, 0 and the other is where it should be i modified the code slightly to debug so it might not work exactly as i said but please help here is the code

a example

this is the code

[austere hedge]

I'm trying to spawn an object at a specific position. But I can't figure out what I am supposed to put for the Quaternion. I don't know what the default Quaternion is supposed to be for 2D.

bar.Position is a Vector2, and I doubt Quaternion.identity is right, but I just threw it in there as a placeholder.

GameObject foo = Instantiate(objectToSpawn, bar.Position, Quaternion.identity);

What do I need to put as the third input parameter to get the correct Quaternion for the default 2D view?

Or is there a better way to spawn a 2D object at a position?

[carmine turret]

For once no bugs in my code. Would anyone be willing to do a little codereview for critique? https://hastebin.com/share/saqozuzebo.csharp If so 🙂

[teal viper]

Identity is no rotation, which should be correct both for 3d and 2d if your visuals are oriented correctly

[austere hedge]

Oh, good. That's exactly what I want. Thank you.

[teal viper]

(currentState == movementState.Grounded | currentState == movementState.Grappling | currentState == movementState.Hookshot)

I don't think this condition does what you expect it to do. | is a bitwise or operator, not a regular or.

In fact I think it would be true when you're airborne

Ah, no, it wouldn't. Still it's not really correct

[summer stump]

It IS a logical or as well, but it doesn't short-circuit, it will evaluate all conditions even if the first is true. || would just go to the body if the first were true

[teal viper]

I guess so. Anyways, || would be more correct here

[summer stump]

You pretty much never want to use | over || in this case though

[summer stump]

Definitely

[teal viper]

    void FixedUpdate()
    {
        Grounded();
        Grapple();
        Movement();
        AirDash();
        Hookshot();
    }

I also don't like how it seems to enter all of the states here in fixed update. Kinda confusing to read. But that's a minor detail.

Aside from that seems fine.

[radiant frigate]

i´ve ran into a problem i think i know the solution too but i want to hear your opinions on it, first of all here is a video showing it

bug: the first spawned multishootingenemy works just right but the 2nd one doesnt shoot

i think its due to the 2nd one calling the class(or script) on the first one, and therefore doesnt do anything on its own

once i kill the first one spawned the 2nd one works just fine

i have thought of just creating another class inside the first one script so i have them in the same place and i can make everything private, but idk if having all the code of one enemy in the same script is good for the long term

[teal viper]

That last message feels like you've skipped several paragraphs of context...

[radiant frigate]

okay lemme elaborate on that

i have 3 main scripts in the enemy

[carmine turret]

Ahh i see thanks you two

[radiant frigate]

HpScript | MovementScript | ShootingScript

[carmine turret]

Is this so bad?

I thought that it makes it easy to read, and makes sure no frame errors happen

since everything is then neatly split up into their own functions

[radiant frigate]

the movementScript takes information from the shooting script so in case its shooting (a bool) is true, then he has his rb2d.velocity set to 0.
what im guessing that is happening is that the 2nd one instead of taking out information from his own script is taking it from the first or something like that ( which makes no sense to me since i get the script by going through the components of the prefab and making a reference in that way)

[potent nymph]

I have an array of this struct VertexGrid[]

public struct VertexGrid
{
    public Vector3 position;
    public Vector2 gridPos;
    public float height;
}

How would I extract out only position, so I only have an array of Vector3? Vector3[]
I would like to assign the Vector3 array to a new variable

[teal viper]

It's confusing, because you'd think that of it enters into the method it would do some logic and not exit right away. The way I'd do it is take out the state check outside the state methods . But that's kinda of a preference thing. It's not like the way your code works would change.

[summer stump]

For loop the vertexgrid and create an array from vertexGrid[i].position

[teal viper]

Kinda hard to say if your assumption is correct without seeing the code or debugging it. Did you debug to confirm the assumption?

[carmine turret]

Ahhh I getcha

So not a bad thing, just personal preference ^^

altough perhaps its less efficient data structure wise?

[potent nymph]

ok, I just thought there would be some kind of c# trick for this kind of thing but I guess this will have to do

[radiant frigate]

i cant think of were to put the debug, since both are prefabs i wouldnt know which one wrote the debug right?

[summer stump]

Might be, not that I know of though, sorry

[teal viper]

It's a minor detail. In your case you have a very simple state machine, but if you had something more complex, it would've been better to have a generic state selection mechanism.

[carmine turret]

Gotcha

[teal viper]

You can add that info in the debug🤷‍♂️

[carmine turret]

Im noticing one weird bug

My airdash uses Impulse

[radiant frigate]

how?

[carmine turret]

and if I airdash whilst hugging a wal, it pushes teh player inside the wall (triggering the groundcheck)

before then forcing the player back out

[teal viper]

You can add the name of the object or it's guid in the debug message.

[summer stump]

The second parameter of debug is the object calling the debug
https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Debug.Log.html

Not sure of the context of what you're doing though

[teal viper]

That's an option too, although then you'll need to click the message to know

[radiant frigate]

so it would be debug.log(GameObject);

[teal viper]

Assuming you write it correctly. What Aethenosity suggest is also a good approach.
