[rocky canyon]

ahh, you already sniped the problem tho

from now on, thats what that error means.. it means ur trying to access something that isn't there

[crisp sand]

I have a cube that has InteractableObject

[polar acorn]

Before you continue guessing, check

[rocky canyon]

(ScriptName.cs, LineNumber)

[polar acorn]

Find out which thing is null

[crisp sand]

i just checked

[rich adder]

a prefab uh oh

[polar acorn]

Okay so did you log the three things that could be null? Which one is null?

[crisp sand]

omw

[rocky canyon]

run ur checks thru code.. b/c visibily u may not see the issue. the code will str8 up tell you

[crisp sand]

how could i log the interactable object?

[ivory bobcat]

That error is of a particular kind. It's basically telling you that the line in your code couldn't be properly executed because the reference was null.

[polar acorn]

log selectionTransform.GetComponent<InteractableObject>()

[rocky canyon]

selectionTransform.GetComponent<InteractableObject>();

[ivory bobcat]

It'll either return blank (null) or the component

[polar acorn]

Log that after you log selectionTransform

[crisp sand]

both interaction_text and interactableObject are null but it may be because i wrote the log in the wrong part of the code

[polar acorn]

Put the log right before the line the error is on

[crisp sand]

okay

[rocky canyon]

        Debug.Log($"Interaction Text:  {interaction_text}");
        Debug.Log($"Selection Transform:  {selectionTransform}");

        var interactableObject = selectionTransform.GetComponent<InteractableObject>();
        var itemName = interactableObject.GetItemName();

        Debug.Log($"Interactable Object:  {interactableObject}");
        Debug.Log($"Interactable Name: {itemName}");```

[crisp sand]

the only thing null is interaction text

[rocky canyon]

well assign ur text object 😉

[polar acorn]

Then that would be the problem

[crisp sand]

could you elaborate a bit more on that pls?

[rocky canyon]

it isn't getting assigned

this line of code doesn't assign it properly

[crisp sand]

maybe because its textmeshpro instead of text?

[rocky canyon]

💯

[final kestrel]

Hey all! Say I have an abstract class with a virtual method in it. Can I still override it from outside without inheriting it?

[rich adder]

yes Text and TMP_Text are not the same

[rocky canyon]

using TMPro;
public class Footastic: MonoBehaviour
{
    private TMP_Text interaction_text;```

[rich adder]

just use an interface instead

[polar acorn]

How would you override something without inheriting it? What would that even do?

[final kestrel]

Well yes I didnt think about it

Thanks

[rich adder]

interface is like abstract but more modular

[rocky canyon]

https://spawncampgames.itch.io/capsule-shades need some shades for ur capsule 😉

[marble night]

WHY DOES ANY UNITY METHODS like awake, update MAY STOP WORKING ON ALL UNITY EDITOR VERSIONS?

[crisp sand]

Its an among us

[rich adder]

what

[crisp sand]

kinda sus if you ask me

[rocky canyon]

lol

[marble night]

idk why

[final kestrel]

I have not seen anyone use Interfaces on the tutorial videos I watched so I was getting into using inheritance.

[rich adder]

yeah inheritance is good sometimes but i prefer composition when possible, interface help with that

[summer stump]

Restate the issue. We don't understand
And do it without caps

[polar acorn]

We don't know what you're talking about

[marble night]

sor

wait

[final kestrel]

Yeah I am kind of confused why people prefer inheritance since you can only inherit once.

[rocky canyon]

w/o caps this time.. we already know ur angry

[marble night]

xd

[rich adder]

not sure its preference, certain situations call one over the other

[ivory bobcat]

I'm pretty sure folks are bewildered by what you've said because they likely do not agree with your statement.

[final kestrel]

and where should I look for resetting my mouse position in the middle of the screen in a first person game? I cannot find anything on the internet

[crisp sand]

i think im making the reference right but it still says that it is null

[rich adder]

generally when you lock it it snaps to middle

[ivory bobcat]

It can definitely be null

[polar acorn]

TextMeshPro is the world-space object. TextMeshProUGUI is the UI-space one. You can also use their shared parent class TMP_Text instead

[ivory bobcat]

Get component doesn't promise anything

[rich adder]

textmeshpro is not textmeshugui

[ivory bobcat]

Assuming the info ui isn't null first

[final kestrel]

It never unlocks though. I have a teleport mechanic but when I teleport the destination remembers my mouse position before starting the teleportation.

[eternal needle]

Just drag the tmp component directly also. You don't need to drag the gameobject just to use GetComponent

[rich adder]

oh you're talking about the camera view not mouse position

[final kestrel]

I thought it was related with mouse position.

well yes

[rich adder]

generally FPS locks the cursor

[crisp sand]

It works thaks

[final kestrel]

oh so I just need to reset camera position

[rich adder]

so you mean when you teleport you want to look into another direction?

[rocky canyon]

          //Unlock
                Cursor.lockState = CursorLockMode.None;
                Cursor.visible = true;
          //Lock
                Cursor.lockState = CursorLockMode.Locked;
                Cursor.visible = false;

[bleak pasture]

Is there a way to batch change all the shaders from old asset store purchase demo scenes to URP/simple lit so I stop having purple surfaces in demo scenes ? I dont think it can be done easily from the unity editor UI so I guess some unity editor code will be neded for this ??

[rich adder]

is your camera not parented to player?

[marble night]

and nothing happened

[final kestrel]

Yes there is a destination empty in my scene. When I teleport I want to face where the destination is facing. I got this done. But the up and down view do not change

[rich adder]

there is converter yes, only works with unity shaders not custom ones

[rocky canyon]

ur going to have to rotate the camera... and reset ur values for ur mouse look script

[ivory bobcat]

Get component attempts to acquire the wanted component that's attached to this object. If there isn't one, it'll return null instead.

[polar acorn]

Have you considered not hiding debug logs

[rocky canyon]

soo ur camera doesnt snap back to ur current mouse position

[final kestrel]

so if im looking down while teleporting my rotation changes as expected but my camera view does not.

[polar acorn]

Turn those back on

[rocky canyon]

ur camera keeps the positon ur mouse is at

[rich adder]

in what way it does not

[ivory bobcat]

If you've got an error later that's supposedly acquired from there then likely the component isn't on the object

[bleak pasture]

what code command should I look for to google an example ? Id basically do asomething like a loop all *.mat and if 'standard' replace it with 'urp simple lit' in pseudo-code

[marble night]

ASFUHOASdjgfkhasuogyhaklusdfjgyhlakdjfughkl;ajhregkj hi dont really know about this fking ability learn unity 4 years....

[rich adder]

https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.render-pipelines.universal@12.0/manual/features/rp-converter.html

[final kestrel]

So im looking at the ground when I initiate the teleport. My position changes, my character's rotation changes but I am still looking at the ground when I come out on destionation

[bleak pasture]

youtube is only offering that I do it by hand but with hundreds of prefavs and materials that doesnt work for me

[rocky canyon]

ur gonna burn bridges if u keep responding like that

[final kestrel]

yes

[rich adder]

oh okay so you want to manually reset the camera view

[rocky canyon]

ya, so ur gonna have to disable that script.. teleport.. change the values to zero out ur mouse.. and re-enable the script

[summer stump]

So it was working the whole time, just to be clear,
You just hid the logs

[final kestrel]

Yes

[final kestrel]

Disable the script that is responsible for mouse look i see

[marble night]

i understand. whole fking and in a trash....................

[final kestrel]

then enable back

[rich adder]

You can also just assign the camera view the LookDirection of the teleport-point

[rocky canyon]

ya, but u may still need to change hte camera rotation.. and / or the values u have for ur mouse. depending on how ur look script works..

it may be the case that as soon as u re-enable the mouse look script it snaps back where it was

[rich adder]

yeah worth checking that first

[final kestrel]

hm okay. I will try disabling it.

[rocky canyon]

start 1 part at a time

write u a script to disable it -> teleport and -> reenable it

and go from there

[final kestrel]

all right.

[rich adder]

I think the cam object will still be rotated, you need to assign new rotation

[rocky canyon]

yea, i was under the assumption it was parented to his player..

my teleport systems always include a rotation too

[rich adder]

even so you're rotating on the X if you teleport with X looking down, you're gonna stillbe looking down until you reset X rot

[rocky canyon]

ya, true.. liek i said. it maybe all of the above situation

[rich adder]

yea would def do one step at time

[rocky canyon]

disable, teleport, reset camera, reset mouse values, re-enable

lol

[final kestrel]

thanks for the answers I will look into those.

[rocky canyon]

took me a while to figure that out.. i had a similar problem.. had to cache my mouse delta's and then add an offset to em

[ivory bobcat]

If it's cc, you can also use physics sync https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Physics.SyncTransforms.html

[final kestrel]

When I tried resetting my camera controls got weird

I press W and I go backwards and such

[rocky canyon]

so the mouse didnt reset the camera as soon as i enabled it.. cuz even after rotating the camera.. the mouse look took over and snapped it back..

cuz mouse delta's are just there

[rich adder]

cause ur controller is now rotated not same direction as your cam

[rocky canyon]

you not meant to interacte with teh movement whle they are disabled..

it all happens at once.. u teleport and before u realize it ur mouse controls are back

[final kestrel]

aahhh

[rocky canyon]

all 1 frame.. disable -> teleport -> reenabel

[final kestrel]

I am using a coroutine

[rocky canyon]

then no wait between them..

[final kestrel]

stop teleport and start teleport

[rocky canyon]

same concept.. all at once

do it in the start tele coroutine

[final kestrel]

uhm i wait like .5 seconds

[rocky canyon]

yea at teh end..

dont wait between the enable and disable of the mouse loook

coroutine(){

disable
teleport
enable

yield return new waitfor...
}```

[ivory bobcat]

You need to disable and enable the component to have it update the transform. The script/execution-of-code will not stop if disabled and re-enabled

[rocky canyon]

yea, i think he's got the teleporting working.. - the camera..

if its a CC u have to disable the CC and teleport and renable

[final kestrel]

What is cc Character Controller?

[rocky canyon]

yes

if not u can get weird stuff going on

[final kestrel]

Ah yeah teleport works okay

So I think must do uhh Reset camera position and face the player in the camera direction

[ivory bobcat]

I'm pretty sure sync transform would work as well

[rocky canyon]

this is the teleporting problem

if u rotate ur player during a teleport.. ur camera stays looking where the mouse tells it to

[final kestrel]

Yes that is correct

[rich adder]

yes they both need same rotation on Y

[rocky canyon]

i keep forgetting about that

imma put it on my list to do - today..

try to get it muscle memory (exposure)

[bleak pasture]

thanks so much !!! it converted 90% of the assets seemingly correctly saving me a lot of problems 🙂

[rich adder]

nicee!

[rocky canyon]

you'll use that super often if ur an asset junkie

[final kestrel]

Well I am using an asset. And uh i believe its got something to do with this block

 public void Init(Transform character, Transform camera)
        {

            m_CharacterTargetRot = character.localRotation;
            m_CameraTargetRot = camera.localRotation;

        }

[bleak pasture]

yeah I was about give up on unity because of that, frustrates me a lot having to fix someone else code/assets especially unity enterprises stuff... I just want things to start when I just created a new project...

[rich adder]

unity needs to enforce the new style of asset in the old ones

[rocky canyon]

yup, you'll probably have to re-call that function

[final kestrel]

I do that yes

[rich adder]

I need to know if past asssets are URP compatible

the old assets lack that

[rocky canyon]

my last asset i made an BIRP folder.. and an URP folder..

just so u can delete the one u dont need

looking out for my guys

[rich adder]

same my little shitty keypad asset uses both URP and BIRP

[rocky canyon]

and u ignored HDRP like me?

😄

[rich adder]

yeah lol I figured they can just convert the materials

[bleak pasture]

I bought about 500$ of assets in 2018 and regrets it very much but now that I have them might as well use them (at least the ones who didnt go free/are unmainted/dont work anymore/deprecated)

[final kestrel]

IEnumerator StartTeleport(Vector3 position, Quaternion rotation)
     {
         _firstPersonController.enabled = false;
         _firstPersonMouseLook.enabled = false;
        // _firstPersonController.disableMovement();
        // _firstPersonInteraction.disableMouseLook();
        transform.position = position;
        transform.rotation = rotation;
        StopTeleport();
        yield return new WaitForSeconds(0.4f);

    }

    public void StopTeleport()
    {
        _firstPersonMouseLook.Init(transform , _myCamera.transform);
        _firstPersonController.enabled = true;
        _firstPersonMouseLook.enabled = true;
        
    }

This is what it looks like now

[bleak pasture]

and some of them are just so good even if very old and they were free even if they dont show up in the store now

[final kestrel]

Im passing the destination position and rotation here.

[ivory bobcat]

You'd need to set it to false, do your changes then set it back to true

[rocky canyon]

bro, i seen ur asset yesterday.. thought about posting up my own 😬

[bleak pasture]

eh to my defense it was mostly bundles assets like from humble bundle or recommendationws from game dev I spoke to IRL (like rewired)

[rocky canyon]

wasn't aware that was urs lol

[rich adder]

go for it!
I'm making better ones 😛

[rocky canyon]

i wanted to make a low-poly untextured

[final kestrel]

Um sorry I dont get it

[rocky canyon]

but w/o the lock and unlock feature u have..

just button presses and sounds

[rich adder]

SpeedTutor has my keypad on their list of free assets for october 2023 💪

[bleak pasture]

but over time I realized, they go free, or they make a version X+1 making the upgrade not free, or they stop working or you realize it doesnt actually solve your problem, or if you just had followed unity learning you could have coded something better

[rocky canyon]

aye!! i got listed on thier feb 2022 one

[ivory bobcat]

Disable the cc component, teleport then enable the cc component

[final kestrel]

okay

let me try

[rich adder]

I want to make one of those Door puzzles ala Skyrim but I got carried away by other projects 😅
also one of those Key pins / breaking into door locks

[final kestrel]

Why do I disable the cc though?

It enables resetted?

[rocky canyon]

that 2nd needs to be made

could sell that one.. guarentee'd

[ivory bobcat]

Because it prohibits transform from modifying the objects orientation

[rich adder]

because its a physics object technically so any time you try to force new position without moving physics object it still had the old position of physics object stored

[final kestrel]

but my character's rotation works fine while teleporting?

[bleak pasture]

saw something like this on the asset store before0

[rocky canyon]

its standard practice

if u dont do it now ur shooting urself in the foot

[twilit ocean]

I tried getting a code on the web to try and make this red bar follow my mouse movement but anchor to the player. But I'm not sure on how to do that and the code I saw reports an error.

[final kestrel]

ah okay all right

[rocky canyon]

its about the movement.. not the mouselook

those are two different systems

[final kestrel]

Well yeah as I said again movement works fine. I will disable cc and reenable it as you say.

[rich adder]

vector3 vs vector2

put a cast

(Vector3)hammer.position

[rocky canyon]

^ ur mixing two different things

[shell sorrel]

the error would tell you, but its because you need to cast to vector 3

[rich adder]

you cannot do v2 - v3

you can assign them interchangeable but not perform operation on it

[rocky canyon]

float - float, int - int, vector2 - vector2

[ivory bobcat]

Moving with transform would be teleporting and it would likely not comply if you're using character controller

[twilit ocean]

wait what so the "hammer.position" part is a Vector 3?

[rich adder]

yes

[shell sorrel]

yes

[twilit ocean]

,_, is there a manual for that type of stuff

[rich adder]

unity is a 3D engine so all the positions are 3D structs

[shell sorrel]

also just return the worldpoint to a vector3

[rich adder]

yeah just remember to mousePos.z = 0

[shell sorrel]

ScreenToWorldPoint already is a vector3 you are just doing a implict cast because of the type on the LHS

also you are using a Orthographic camera right?

ScreenToWorldPoint is kinda useless if you are not

[rich adder]

yeah its 2D i think thats default

[shell sorrel]

so yeah return ScreenToWorldPoint into a Vector3

set z to what ever you need it

then do the subtraction

[twilit ocean]

So this is what yall meant? I'm not really sure I'm getting many instructions at the same time

[final kestrel]

All right I did as you say. Now I just gotta reset the camera view and rotate player towards the view so controls dont mess up right?

[rocky canyon]

for example this is my script where i enter/exit a vehicle

[rich adder]

you might want to set ur z to 0

[rocky canyon]

lots more to do than to just move the player

[rich adder]

#💻┃code-beginner message @twilit ocean

[shell sorrel]

or set z to be the same as Hammers z

[twilit ocean]

How do I do that?

[rich adder]

yeah assumed hammer was on z of 0

[shell sorrel]

otherwise you will get a direction that is leaning away or towards the screen

[twilit ocean]

mousePos.z = 0 but where should I add it

[rich adder]

mousePos.z = hammer.position.z

[rich adder]

after you get mousePos

[rocky canyon]

^ float = float

[shell sorrel]

after the ScreenToWorldPoint

before the vector subtraction

Visual Studio guide

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

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

[twilit ocean]

this?

[rich adder]

btw you can just do hammer.right = Direction ?

[rocky canyon]

i was trying to build a compass earlier.. and i was way over thinking it ^ that was the solution

[shell sorrel]

yeah since this is 2d the look direction will not act how you want without some changes

[rocky canyon]

compass.forward = Vector3.forward;

now we got North!

🙂

[lunar fern]

i am getting a very wierd error with .net and i dont know a better place to ask than here. i have a image of everything for you too? ive spent 3 days trying to fix it but it still doesnt want to work. thank you in advance

[rocky canyon]

are u running windowsXP?

[shell sorrel]

thats win10

[lunar fern]

im runing win10

[twilit ocean]

found this error

[rocky canyon]

ahh.. okay lol soo ur PC says .net is installed.. but the IDE says nu uh

[shell sorrel]

the ide calls out .net core

he only confirms .net 8

[lunar fern]

no my computer doesnt say its instaled

only runtimes are

[rocky canyon]

check out ur weapons script on line 14

[rich adder]

whats on line 14 ?

[lunar fern]

but i doo have a sdk instaled as you can see

[rocky canyon]

something being accessed is not present

[rich adder]

do you have a camera with the MainCamera tag

[shell sorrel]

going to assume Hammer was not set in the inspector

or camera was not found

[rocky canyon]

it is tho

unless theres rogue scripts

[twilit ocean]

14Vector3 mousePos = Camera.main.ScreenToWorldPoint (Input.mousePosition);

[rich adder]

then its prob the camera.main or a clone script with no field assigned

[shell sorrel]

then make sure Camera has mainCamera as a tag in its inspector

[rocky canyon]

Camera must not be main camera

[polar acorn]

What is weapon.cs line 14

[rich adder]

yeah you dont have a camera with Main Camera tag

[shell sorrel]

so are you following VS instructions when you are using VS Code

it looks like it

[rocky canyon]

obligatory: have u tried a restart?

[lunar fern]

yes

[shell sorrel]

https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/other/unity

[rocky canyon]

i dont know nothing about VSCode.. but id guess u missed a step..

[lunar fern]

maby

[shell sorrel]

yeah i just noticed they prompted the bot for VS but the screenshot is VSCode

[rocky canyon]

hehe, tragedy

[lunar fern]

yes but it tells me to install a code sdk but there is none

[rocky canyon]

VSCode is more involved than VSComm

[shell sorrel]

but yeah i cant help on either, team here

[rocky canyon]

https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download

this one?

looks available to me

[lunar fern]

yes it is availiable and thats the one ive instaled

[rocky canyon]

just follow all the steps again

ya, im team

when its Free giveaway month

[lunar fern]

ive tried too but its the same problem

[rocky canyon]

nah nah, visual studio is ez af to set up

[rich adder]

VSCode is easy to configure now its in 1.0 for Unity Extension

[lunar fern]

you know what ima re-install it

[rocky canyon]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kI6H3_Ry49k&t=1s&ab_channel=SpawnCampGames

[rich adder]

Im infected 😮 starting to like VScode more..

[rocky canyon]

lol (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻

[rocky canyon]

the setup has me deterred for now

is it a problem to have both installed?

[rich adder]

nah not at all

they both use the Visual Studio package in Unity

the only thing missing is Intellicode for me

[rocky canyon]

🤔 i might humour the code guys and see whats the fuss

[rocky canyon]

they have plugins for that dont they?

[rich adder]

there is Intellisense but no intellicode 😦

[bleak pasture]

with copilot now criticizing my searches in bing I hope copilot doesnt start to criticize that you are using other IDE in visual studio 😦

[rocky canyon]

i know they do for rider

[rocky canyon]

ahh okay

[rich adder]

they have it but some reason its not working on macos at least. I think its windows only

[rocky canyon]

fancy guy

[ivory bobcat]

For Visual Studio, make sure not to skip the work load installation step

It's the commonly missed step - it's not checked by default

[rich adder]

[twilit ocean]

Hi sorry for delay, had to help grandma. Yes apparently I didn't have a main camera because I deleted the old one by accident. But now this happened.

[rocky canyon]

did u use the thing.right?

may need to use the thing.forward or -forward instead

[ivory bobcat]

It looks 2d

[rich adder]

show current code

[rocky canyon]

ah u right lol

im obviously blind af

[vast vessel]

Lets say i have a AI_Firearm script with a Reload(); method, and i also have an AI_Speaker script.

Now I want the Speaker script to run a SaySentance("Reload"); method, when the Reload(); method on the firearm script is called, by subscribing to it inside of the Speaker script like an event.

How do i do this?

[rocky canyon]

do u know how events work already?

[rich adder]

show how you set up events, it should work with event fine

[twilit ocean]

Ok so one thing that I'm doubtful of is where the script was made to be in. The player or the weapon, currently the script is on the player tagging the hammer to transform.

[vast vessel]

I dont have events. I just have a Reload method and a SaySentance method

[rich adder]

did you try this first ?

[twilit ocean]

Where in the code should I place that? Do I need to erase any of the pre-existing code?

[rich adder]

replace LookRotation

[ivory bobcat]

You'd replace your previous rotation line

[vast vessel]

@rich adder

[rich adder]

oh thought you said you want to subscribe to it

[rich adder]

why did you write it like this lol

replace the whole .rotation

[twilit ocean]

You told-me to replace that I replaced that...

[vast vessel]

I dont know how to even set up the events

[wintry quarry]

Quaternion.Hammer!??
That's a new one!

[rich adder]

fair enough you took it quite literal..
I meant yes the WHOLE rotation line

[twilit ocean]

One can only dream

[rich adder]

instea of Hammer.rotation =
do Hammer.right = Direction

[rocky canyon]

public class AI_Firearm : MonoBehaviour
{
    public delegate void ReloadEventHandler();
    public event ReloadEventHandler OnReload;

    public void Reload()
    {
        // Reload logic

        // Invoke the event
        OnReload?.Invoke();
    }
}

[rich adder]

or just Action

[rocky canyon]

idk actions yet..

but yes or Actions

[rich adder]

its a delegate already

[ivory bobcat]

Action would just be a specific predefined type of delegate

[rich adder]

public event Action OnReload;

[vast vessel]

Ive seen people use += but it dosnt seem to work for me, probably beacuse im doing it wrong :
frm.Reload() += SaySentance("Reload")

All the functions i mentioned are voids

[ivory bobcat]

Same with func

[rocky canyon]

public class AI_Speaker : MonoBehaviour
{
    AI_Firearm firearm;

    private void Awake()
    {
        firearm = GetComponent<AI_Firearm>();
    }

    private void OnEnable() => firearm.OnReload += OnFirearmReloaded;
    private void OnDisable() => firearm.OnReload += OnFirearmReloaded;

    private void OnFirearmReloaded()
    {
        //Reload and Talk
        SaySentence("Reload");
    }

    private void SaySentence(string sentence)
    {
        // Talkie stuff
    }
}```

the other half of my delegate event sys

now someone can share about actions.. cuz idk

[vast vessel]

This is exactly what i wanted!

Ty

[rocky canyon]

no problem.. just use it as an example and u can make all ur events from it

just remember to subscribe and unsubscribe..

[twilit ocean]

Ok it took-me a lot of effort not to make a joke about this. But it doesn't seem to move past falling down and staying that way.

[rocky canyon]

if u don't you'll be calling events for no reason

or listening for events for no reason rather

[twilit ocean]

this is the code now (hopefully correct this time)

[bleak pasture]

typically you subscribe in awake() or start() and unsub on destroy or during update()

[rich adder]

can you switch the Hammer to Local Pivot mode and not in Center

want to see something

[vast vessel]

Yea, i saw the new unity input system had something like this with the += and the => but i never knew how it actually worked

[flint falcon]

I feel kinda stupid but trying to follow a movement tutorial for a 2d character and followed it exactly but my movement is a mess

[rocky canyon]

ahh, maybe true. i always use enab and disab

but i sort my execution orders when i need also

[rich adder]

OnEnable is better

[twilit ocean]

.... what's local pivot mode?

[rocky canyon]

esp if u unsubscribe in OnDisable 😄

[bleak pasture]

thanks Ill keep these advice in notes, my unity knowledge is old havent done it for a while and still going throught the unity learning

[rocky canyon]

it shows the exact pivot of the objects

[rocky canyon]

Pivot Local mode For Lyfe!

[buoyant knot]

unsubbing in OnDestroy is riskier because you don’t know what is broken or not

[bleak pasture]

I said update cuz sometimes you want an update to be faster and you might temporarily disconnect events in certain cases

[ivory bobcat]

You'd use Action or Func if you don't feel it's necessary to define the delegate. https://medium.com/@serhat21zor/c-action-vs-func-62fe917da43f

[rich adder]

I don't , I usually use OnDisable

think you replied to wrong person :p

[rocky canyon]

thanks imma read this too

[shell sorrel]

where you unsub depends on intent

[buoyant knot]

oop you’re right

[bleak pasture]

But all these learning later I still dont know why coroutines exists 😦

[shell sorrel]

like do you want to to receive events if disabled or not

[bleak pasture]

I just dont get it especially vs async/Task...

[rocky canyon]

for WaitForSeconds ofc 😄

[rich adder]

unity version of Async

[buoyant knot]

a lot of my monobehaviours subscribe to spawnedEntityHandler.OnEntityDeath, which is an action that gets invoked when an entity dies. And it is always better to use that sort of thing over OnDestroy

[rich adder]

/jk

[twilit ocean]

I'm not sure of what that changed but here it is.

[final kestrel]

@rich adder

  IEnumerator StartTeleport(Vector3 position, Quaternion rotation)
     {
        _characterController.enabled = false;
        _firstPersonController.enabled = false;
        _firstPersonMouseLook.enabled = false;
        // _firstPersonController.disableMovement();
        // _firstPersonInteraction.disableMouseLook();
        transform.position = position;
        transform.rotation = rotation;
        StopTeleport();
        yield return new WaitForSeconds(0.4f);

    }

    public void StopTeleport()
    {
        _firstPersonMouseLook.Init(transform , _myCamera.transform);
        _myCamera.transform.Rotate(0,0,0 );
        _characterController.enabled = true;
        _firstPersonController.enabled = true;
        _firstPersonMouseLook.enabled = true;
    }
}

I did this and it works now

[buoyant knot]

although, it might have been smarter for me to use an interface for this, to call an OnEntityDeath() interface method.

[rich adder]

put it out of playmode, then select the hammer and show the arrows for it

[bleak pasture]

I understand that but I dont know when to use one besides the obvious "call is gonna take longer than a 250ms game loop" like doing animator.something on a 19s animation

[twilit ocean]

What arrows?

[rocky canyon]

i use it as a Sequencer

[twilit ocean]

got it

[rich adder]

the move tool arrows

[rocky canyon]

so its aligned on the .right axis

[lunar fern]

bro thank you it works with for some reason i cant explain

[rocky canyon]

ones better than none

can always try to set up Code later

[rich adder]

thats strange..

[lunar fern]

think that the solution was that. could have saved me 3 days of reserch with none other with the same problem

[bleak pasture]

I wish I could just use winforms and convert to unity canvas 😦 for the initial prototype UI

[rich adder]

Oh wait

You didnt normalize it

that might be issue

[twilit ocean]

my last hope

what's that normalize thing

[rich adder]

Direction.Normalize()

[rocky canyon]

sets the lengths to 1

[twilit ocean]

Where do I place that in the code?

[rich adder]

After Direction =

[twilit ocean]

I'm totally going to write this wrong but hey lemme try

[rocky canyon]

z + x would equal 1.4 (longer than z is and longer than x is)

normalizing it gives u a value thats the same length.. but same direction

[bleak pasture]

unity has interesting words like lerp, tween and gizmos. Before that a gizmo for me was that dude in gremlins movie

[rich adder]

none of those are unity terms

esp lerping, is not a unity term

lerp is short for Interpolation

[ivory bobcat]

They're found everywhere

[rocky canyon]

normalized red line would end at orange dot

[twilit ocean]

[rich adder]

jesus..

[twilit ocean]

told you

[rocky canyon]

(mousePos - hammer.positon).normalized;

[rich adder]

.normalized is a property

[rocky canyon]

.normalize*

[bleak pasture]

you need to learn some coding it seems

[rocky canyon]

lol.. Normalize(this);

[rich adder]

could do what spawncam suggested or also
Direction = a-b;
Direction.Normalize();

[rocky canyon]

^ i like that better

keep its more organized

[rich adder]

when I say AFTER its implied the line underneath lol

not between

[twilit ocean]

Well that could have been said beforhand. Should have exdpected since the last accident ,_, I will learn

[rich adder]

true

[rocky canyon]

im running out of tables to flip j/k ur doing fine

[ivory bobcat]

|| It might be normalized https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Vector3-normalized.html 😅||

[rocky canyon]

ugh..

[rich adder]

ops yeah i missed a letter too on that lol

[rocky canyon]

good thing i have a project just waiting for me to write more test scripts

thats what i meant.. normalizeD

the D isn't prevelant 😅

[rich adder]

Normalize() vs normalized

goddam Unity ✊

[rocky canyon]

i use both interchangeable

i need to stick to 1

[twilit ocean]

this?

[rocky canyon]

do all types have a .normalized property?

[rich adder]

isnt that just for V3 ?

[rocky canyon]

nah

[rich adder]

ohh I meant just vectors*

😛

[rocky canyon]

lol.. typos be rampant today

[twilit ocean]

Still down

[rocky canyon]

ive already forgotten what ur trying to do? where should it be pointing in this image?

[rich adder]

where is the cursor, also make sure you select hammer show its arrows

[rich adder]

I think the mouse cursor no?

thought it would work, something is wrong obvious im not noticing

[rocky canyon]

well the line def matches the direction

oooor.. does it?

wouldnt that be behind the player?

[rich adder]

Z seems to be 0 which should be correct

[twilit ocean]

This might give you more info @rich adder

[rocky canyon]

whoo cosmic mirror

ohh thats jank

gotta click back into the window btw..

for the mouse to be captured

[rich adder]

btw just for sanity check , is your Camera set to Orthographic

[rocky canyon]

when u maximized i dont think u did

[twilit ocean]

I'm trying to make something tha pivots in the player and follows my mouse direction

Like a pointing gun

But it will be used for physicds

[rocky canyon]

ya, i see now. wasn't sure if it was supposed to point at the cursor.. but now i got it

[twilit ocean]

I did click many times

[rocky canyon]

lol. rage clicker!

can u share ur !code in text format?

[twilit ocean]

maybe if I click more it will start working

    public Vector3 Direction;

    void Update()
    {
        Vector3 mousePos = Camera.main.ScreenToWorldPoint (Input.mousePosition);

        mousePos.z = Hammer.position.z;

        Direction = mousePos - Hammer.position;
        Direction.Normalize();

        Hammer.right = Direction;
    }

}```

[rich adder]

click the camera expand those sections, make sure it says Orthographic

[twilit ocean]

Where does it have to say that?

found it

[rich adder]

Under Projection

[ivory bobcat]

The pivot point seems off

[twilit ocean]

YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO not working as intended but it's a step towards it

the camera was the issue apparently

[rich adder]

nice

[rich adder]

whats not working as intented?

seems now it points to correct direction

[twilit ocean]

well, have you seen the game "Getting over it".

[rich adder]

if you mean the Pivot, you have to change that inside the Sprite editor

[rich adder]

the climbing game?

[twilit ocean]

yeah. So I heard the base mechanic is the hammer orbitating around the player than the player orbitating around the hammer when it finds ground.

Either way, how do I acess the sprite editor to change the pivot?

[rich adder]

https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/sprite-editor-use.html

Or just use a Parent object to set pivot at center of player

[radiant tulip]

Hey y'all, can I make questions in this channel?

[twilit ocean]

I think that would be more appropiate. Any idea on how to do it?

[rich adder]

this is a code channel so code related questions

[rich adder]

make a child object of the player, parent the red bar to it

rotate the new parent instead of hammer

[radiant tulip]

I just wanted to make sure to not mess things up on the first time I talk on this server ;-;

[twilit ocean]

Just read the FAQ and pinned messages and you will be fine

[radiant tulip]

When I do this Camera.main.WorldToScreenPoint(Input.mousePosition); it always gives me the same position when I click on an object, no matter where I click on said object. Got an EventSystem put and everything works smoothly (clicking on objects trigger certain events and all) but now I want to try to click n drag an object, and they're not moving cause of that problem

[languid spire]

This
Camera.main.WorldToScreenPoint(Input.mousePosition);
should be
ScreenToWorld

[twilit ocean]

We cookin :D Thanks for the help

[rich adder]

nice! just needs a Rigidbody2D on it and ur getting there

[radiant tulip]

Tried that too but when i click and drag the object it goes off of the camera view

[twilit ocean]

I'll put a object with a rigidbody at the very tip.

[radiant tulip]

Lemme try again actually to make sure it was that

[ruby axle]

guys do you know that glitch (if you can call it that)?
basically, my player sticks to the wall

if so it would be a pleasure to help me with that

[rich adder]

I was thinking maybe the new Pivot parent would have rigidbody and the whole bar is the child rigidbody with collider

this way you change rotation to rb.rotation

so it moves with physics properly

[rich adder]

make a check like capsule cast to see if the direction you want to move in isn't blocked.

you can try to just give it no friction physics material on player collider, but thats a crapshoot sometimes

[radiant tulip]

Sorry, my apologies, wanted to say the ScreenToWorld does the thing I said previously

[rich adder]

what are you trying to do , with that ? maybe there is a better way

[twilit ocean]

child rigid body you say? But what would the pivot having a rigidbody change? Thought the mouse cordinates were deterministic

[rich adder]

it will make the whole stick rigidbody, isn't that what you want?

[radiant tulip]

I'm trying to drag and drop an object for now, after I can do that, I wanted to drop it in a certain object and if its not that object it goes back to its original position

[rich adder]

are the objects sprites? or UI

[twilit ocean]

xd

[radiant tulip]

They're objects, not UI, I dragged them into the hierarchy Idk if that makes them an object sprite 😅

[rich adder]

haha yeah you have to turn off gravity and also constraint position of rigidbody

also does player have rigidbody? i believe that also needs one if you want to affect it from the stick

[rich adder]

okay so you need a collider for it to be selectable

then use a raycast

or there is also OnMouseDown and OnMouseUp you can use

set bool to true when down

Update to follow mousepos

[twilit ocean]

It does, when I froze the X Y positions of the pivot it stayed in place and didn't lock to the player also changed gravity to 0

[rich adder]

actually dont lock position mb

[radiant tulip]

I've done that already, I got other objects that react to their respective events, but the mousePosition just doesnt register

This is my code

[rich adder]

these events work withe the Event system + canvas

also it doesnt work on colliders, unless you put a Physics2D Raycaster on the Camera

[rich adder]

let me look at my project, its not a climbing game but my player does get affected by its arms/climb since its a rigidbody with Hinges

[radiant tulip]

Mhm everything works with that, its just the mouse that is always giving the same position with the ScreenToWorldPoint

[radiant tulip]

Oh, it doesnt with the 3D Physics Raycaster?

[rich adder]

there is

but if ur colliders are 3D

[twilit ocean]

This is how it looks currently with no RB on the pivot. It's too glitchy

[ruby axle]

i mean it should be and the player should slide

[radiant tulip]

They are actually

[rich adder]

you have to code that in then

[rich adder]

lol yeaa

[rich adder]

oh ok so yeah 3D one works fine, but if ur camera is ortho that explains issue prob

https://unity.huh.how/screentoworldpoint
(Though for 3D i personally prefer the Plane method)

[ruby axle]

isn't that just a proof that the player is blocked but he doesn't do what we want?

oh and btw i am using a character controller

no rigidbody in the project

[twilit ocean]

ye not really sure on how is it even possible to fix that.

[radiant tulip]

the Main Camera has this camera component

[rich adder]

character controller will keep climbing slopes, it doesn't care about sloped surfaces. You have to code that in with some Raycasts and normal surface checking + push your own gravity

[rich adder]

yeah prospective is tricky with ScreenToWorld

did you see the link I sent ? it explains about the camera nearClip

[ruby axle]

but it shows in the inspector that the gravity is applying (went like to 1200).

[radiant tulip]

I am in a meeting rn so I saw it very lightly but after I present I will see thoroughly, thank you!

[shell sorrel]

sicne its perspective i would not use ScreenToWorldPoint

use ScreenPointToRay

[rich adder]

applying gravity alone isn't enough, you have to also push it direction opposite of slope

[shell sorrel]

then use that to cast on a plane

[radiant tulip]

Theres only that and ortho tho

[radiant tulip]

hm.... how do I cast on a plane?

[rich adder]

I know its fine, but yeah like Passer said use raycast and plane

[rich adder]

did you see the link I sent? it has that Plane explanation

[ruby axle]

oh okay, have you got some video or article about coding that? if no i'm okay

[shell sorrel]

ScreenPointToRay returns a ray to use and dependign on what you want to do you can use a Physics.Raycast with it or you could use the Plane class to create a plane in memory to cast agaisnt

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Camera.ScreenPointToRay.html
https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Plane.html

also #💻┃code-beginner message

that link from before perfectly explains hows to hook up these 2 things to solve this problem

[rich adder]

Only for Regular slopes not something like your clip, im not used to low poly but you can probably just cleanup the collider for that
https://youtu.be/jIsHe9ARE70

[ruby axle]

okay thanks, i will look at that

[radiant tulip]

Oh I noticed now! Thank you so much

[radiant tulip]

I will try it in a bit, but I'll make sure to text and say if it worked, thank you for your guys' help

[shell sorrel]

just make sure the plane is facing the correct way

[radiant tulip]

The plane should be faced like the canvas or the camera?

[rich adder]

can you show your current games prospective

[shell sorrel]

yeah would help to see the game it really depends on how you want things to work

[bleak pasture]

my plane disappeared after switching to URP but I have a lot of other problems to fix before this 😦

It uses to be white/gray bricks on the floor

[rich adder]

this is a coding channel

[radiant tulip]

the camera looks like the first one and the canvas for the UI

[rich adder]

which thing you are trying to drag and where

[shell sorrel]

ok lets back up a sec, what are you trying to accomplish with this position from the mouse

what you want to do with it really matters for what we will cast agaisnt

[radiant tulip]

This is the food menu that appears when im playing the game, the buttons for the next and previous food works cause theyre UI, but the food in between them is not (this case the fish, sorry if it doesnt show that well the light is still under work), and im trying to drag that

[bleak pasture]

I dont know if the problem needs coding to fix or not. Im not omniscient/omnipotent

not all problems can be solved by clicking stuff in the inspector or in some editor menu

[rich adder]

I see so you're trying to drag the fish ?

[radiant tulip]

I'm trying to drag it to the pet, wanted to do it for the pet's mouth but I think thats too difficult for my level now, and then the object would trigger the pet's eating animation

[radiant tulip]

Yup yup!

[shell sorrel]

yeah ignore the plane then

use Physics.Raycast

[rich adder]

I would make Trigger around the pets mouth

so your ray / drag will know thats the Mouth area

[shell sorrel]

that will get you a raycast hit and you can see if that ray hits the fish

[radiant tulip]

Ohhh, like a collider for the mouth?

[rich adder]

yeah !

once you're dragging the fish you can check with a Tag or put a component that it is indeed the mouth area

[radiant tulip]

It hit!! Yooooo

[summer stump]

Well, now you know 🤷‍♂️
It has nothing to do with code

#archived-urp would be best
#💻┃unity-talk would be second best

[radiant tulip]

Omg thank you so much I would have not thought of that at all

[shell sorrel]

yeah if it shows in the event system you could just implementing the dragging of the FIsh with the event system

IDragHandler, IDropHandler on the fish

[radiant tulip]

Instead of the fish object, can I do it in the gameObject that holds that object?

On the FoodHolder

[covert sinew]

Managed to polish off an issue I was having with my item moving script

Basically, when I try to use the "move item" function, if a slot was being removed, it would displace all index values higher than itself, due to the way lists automatically "collapse" removed index slots in them

So now the move-item script has a check if a slot is being removed, and if the slot being removed is a lower index than the slot it's adding something to.

It really is a shame Unity doesn't have a built in function for moving something from one index to another, as far as I know. I'm having to use "Remove" and "Insert" instead, which can be a bit finicky.

[cosmic dagger]

The List<T> is a C# concept, not Unity. Instead of removing and inserting, you can just assign the value of the element at the previous index to null and the value of the new index to the item (you are moving) . . .

[shell ice]

Hello everyone , I am making a 2d turn based game and i want to do something like this :

whenever i select a unit some buttons will be displayed , each one of them is an option of what the unit can do ( Attack , Move , Wait ... )
And i want to make everything else unclickable whenever these 3 buttons are displayed ( except setting and pause menu and things like that )

the issue i'm finding here is i cannot find a way to make elements impossible to interact with whenever i am in the state where the buttons are displayed

what solution would you recommend for this please

[cosmic dagger]

It sounds like an array would work better since you can't remove or add elements to the collection . . .

[twilit ocean]

Hi I've been trying to find where the option to change the pivot is for 20 min now with no success? Anyone got an idea where it should be?

Even the guids on the internet seem to be different from mine

I really cannot find the option to change the pivot

Do I have to make a sprite for the object to change the pivot?

[rocky canyon]

u should just use an empty container then

[twilit ocean]

That could be a solution. But I'd rather find out why I can't find the option to change the pivot, given it is one of the most crucial features in 2D game making.

Making an empty container to deal with it every time might make everything a mess in the long term.

But maybe it's the sprite

[rocky canyon]

its part of the sprite editor

its really easy

[rocky canyon]

you would make the empty container the prefab..

[fast swan]

my models are broken help

[rocky canyon]

if u spawn it in, it'd have the child set up already

did you use code to break them?

[fast swan]

you guy know what gorilla tag is

[swift crag]

this is not a modding server

[fast swan]

ik

im making a fan game and i can see through my models

[swift crag]

when you get very close to them?

[fast swan]

nope

[rocky canyon]

then the model

s normals are inside out

[swift crag]

the first thing that comes to mind is just blocking all of the other UI with an image component that covers the entire screen, but this might allow you to navigate to the other buttons with a keyboard

[twilit ocean]

I'm already using this system. But, to prevent bugs I'm constantly lerping the pivot of the hammer towards the empty container.

I found the sprite editor but can't use it.

[swift crag]

You can't make assets that refer to scene objects.

[rocky canyon]

you have to click the arrow next to the texture.. to expand it

[swift crag]

This sounds like a great place to use Canvas Groups

[rocky canyon]

to show the sprite

ur draggin the wrong object

[rich adder]

thats not how that works

[swift crag]

CanvasGroup lets you set a few things for any UI elements on or beneath the component's object, including opacity and, vitally, interactability

[fast swan]

now i cant even import models into the game

[swift crag]

You can make the rest of your UI non-interactable

[twilit ocean]

It is expanded

[rich adder]

You have to select the asset first , then in the asset importer you have the Sprite Editor

[rocky canyon]

ohh.. are they set correctly?

to Sprites

[swift crag]

• Canvas
  • Normal UI <-- CanvasGroup goes here
    • Some Button
  • Combat UI
    • Attack Button
    • Run Button

[polar acorn]

What do you mean by "Can't import"

[swift crag]

By making that canvas group non-interactable, you will not be able to click on "Some Button"

[fast swan]

i forgot

[twilit ocean]

Dude I alt-tabed and came back and it worked

[rocky canyon]

they look to be set to sprites but just checking

[polar acorn]

forgot what

[fast swan]

um tf

[twilit ocean]

We are so back

Thanks for the help, but apparently it was caused by unity's quirckyness

[rocky canyon]

dont drag the sprite in.. @twilit ocean the window should show the sprite u have selected

[polar acorn]

That appears to be where you've set your model's pivot in whatever 3D software it was made in

[shell ice]

thank you , the thing is , i wanna block game objects like players and trees and other interactable objects , I thought at first about creatin a gameObject that has a very high order in layer , and i activate it whenever i want to make the elements beneath it impossible to intereact with , do you think this is a good solution ?

[fast swan]

blender, first time

[rocky canyon]

dragging it in does nothing. its just when u select it

[rocky canyon]

ahh okay u got it working then

[fast swan]

can you help me use it

[polar acorn]

Nope. !blender probably can

yay

[covert sinew]

I need to be able to change the size of hte inventory, since I don't plan on it having limited slots, is the main issue with using an array. Lists are easier to change the length of, and easier to insert things into the middle of them, too. Either way, I managed to fix the problem by detecting whether or not an entry was being fully removed, and if it was being fully removed from a slot lower in the index than the slot it was being added to.

[desert moon]

Yeah, I'm still stuck on this. The camera is still jittering

[rich adder]

Obligatory Cinemachine

[desert moon]

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

public class MainCamera : MonoBehaviour
{
    public static MainCamera singleton;
    public Transform targetObject;
    Rigidbody rb;

    // Start is called before the first frame update
    void Start()
    {
        MainCamera.singleton = this;
        rb = GetComponent<Rigidbody>();
    }

    // Update is called once per frame
    public void UpdatePos()
    {
      transform.position = targetObject.position;
      transform.rotation = targetObject.rotation;   
    }
}

Not gonna use Cinemachine

I've rolled it back to this though

[rich adder]

why would you not use cinemachine ?

its gonna be better than any hacky solution you do

[polar acorn]

Not gonna use Cinemachine
why

[desert moon]

I don't see how Cinemachine is gonna magically fix the problem I'm running into.

[rocky canyon]

lol, it literally does

[rich adder]

my guy wants to slice bread with their teeth instead of a bread slicing knife

[summer stump]

It's not magic 🤷‍♂️

[polar acorn]

It's not magic it just literally has a third-person follow component built in that has no jittering

[desert moon]

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
//using UnityEngine.Networking;


public class ActorCamera : MonoBehaviour {

    public ActorBase user;

    Rigidbody rb;
    void Start()
    {
        rb = GetComponent<Rigidbody>();
    }

    public void LateUpdate ()   {
        
        //This was originally rb.position
        transform.position = user.transform.position;
        transform.eulerAngles = new Vector3(user.lookAngle.x,user.transform.eulerAngles.y,0);
        MainCamera.singleton.UpdatePos();

    }


}

Bruh... this fixed it.

[summer stump]

Obligatory "still just use cinemachine"

[rich adder]

still wont be as good

but goodluck with that

``` What is @event? i need to make methods so i can unsubscribe when i want

[covert sinew]

I WAS having an issue where when trying to make a "move function" that removes an item from one slot and inserts it into another, it would insert it into the "wrong" slot, because it would use List.RemoveAt, and then List.Insert, where the removal would disjoint the indexes if it happened at a smaller index value than the index it was inserting at.

What I ended up doing to fix this is to just have the game detect if the removed entry was a lower index than the added entry, and if so, to reduce the index too be added to by -1, so it still moves it into the same "slot" reletive to other items in the inventory.

[rich adder]

because event is a taken Keyword in c#

adding @ means you can use that as variable name no problem

[rocky canyon]

and gives away that theres also another variable of the same name

[rich adder]

so you could name something public float @class

[rocky canyon]

well.. not always tru.. but most times

Hello, I'm a new devlopper, I'm currently recreating the watermelon game everything is going great but now I have two problems:
1 I can't create a scoring system, let me explain, I want to create a system whose role will be to give a certain number of points when my fruits of the same level (named element, which starts from 0 to 7 to indicate the class of the fruit) collide, this one destroys the current fruit to make room for the next fruit, example element 0 with 0 = 1 so the role of the script will be to fetch from a file the fruit that has the name of element 1 to make it appear, at which point I want it to display the example score: element 0 = 5 SCORT
element 1 = 10 SCORT
element 2 = 15 SCORT
element 3 = 25 SCORT
element 4 = 30 SCORT
element 5 = 40 SCORT
element 6 = 55 SCORT
element 7 = 70 SCORT
but I can't...
2 I'd like to create a system that displays the next fruit to appear, on an image right next to it,
can you please help me?

I need help with a scoring system and displaying the next fruit.

whats the rule with special characters in variable names?

_ and @ are the only two i feel comfortable using

I think symbols break it

cause they have many uses in c#

oh and @ before a string lets you not have to escape \

idk, i used to write alot of comments when i first learning.. could be not

[distant hawk]

a little because, there are things I didn't manage to do or that I didn't find on youtube

[rich adder]

gottem

[rocky canyon]

self-snitching

[rich adder]

you would nee to create a queue of the next item

this is gonna be hard to explain though cause of the language barrier

[rocky canyon]

facts.. might as well long-format it

[distant hawk]

isn't there a solution?

[rocky canyon]

you'll need a queue or get ur fruits 2 ahead of current

no way to randomize it and predict it at the same time

[rich adder]

yeah

plenty

[distant hawk]

okkk

[rich adder]

yes Randomize 2pieces piece first, or randomize the whole lineup and put it in a list.

[distant hawk]

that's what I told myself too, but I didn't know how to do it.

[rocky canyon]

i think a buffer/queue better.. cuz u'd be chasing the dragon with the 2 piece idea

[rich adder]

yeah agreed

[rocky canyon]

you'd want a queue of 3 atleast

or 2 minimum

[rich adder]

I deleted my msg cause i realized Queue would not be good, they need List or array

[rocky canyon]

the next piece and the one after..
once u swap pieces.. u randomize and grab the new one to fill the last ones place

[rich adder]

so they can access the second

[distant hawk]

if I've understood correctly, I have to manage to arrange 3 ramdon fruits in advance? and then manage to display them?

[rocky canyon]

2piece list would be ideal for beginner to use Add() Remove()

two**

[rich adder]

that or you can just generate the whole list ahead of time

[rocky canyon]

the next piece and the one after

[rich adder]

also why storing fruits as int

store them as Fruit

public List<Fruit> fruitPrefabs // possibles to spawn

Yes

[rich adder]

what is SceneManagement

i kinda figured out how to do it but i had a second question about the scoring system

[wraith valley]

Loading new scene

[polar acorn]

That's not what I asked but you seem to have fixed it anyway

[wraith valley]

Yes, thanks

[rich adder]

what is the scoring system question?

[rocky canyon]

what about scoring system?
just score++;
you can add 1 everytime u slice a fruit.
if fruits are worth different amounts.. u could do as navarone mentioned earlier.. and have a class called Fruit.. could store a public int fruitValue;

then when u hit the fruit u could access its fruit script and add that value to ur score instead.. score += fruitIjustSlashed.fruitValue;

[rich adder]

they do have a Fruit class just not sure whats inside

oh wait its in the second link

oh, outta all the scripts he sent that wasnt 1 of em?

Maybe becouse of my bad english i can`t speak in 100%

still confused. Idk what to replace it with to load the lobby scene

[rich adder]

have you bothered looking at the documentation what the proper class Is ?

[pliant marsh]

how does one do that?

[rich adder]

wild

[pliant marsh]

ok

[polar acorn]

Usually by plugging in the thing you want to do into google and finding what shows up in the documentation

[rocky canyon]

doesn't even have to be a good search. " how do i load a new level in unity " results in teh same link... just a few places down

[novel void]

How do I read local rotation.x of a transform in degrees between 360 and 0

[polar acorn]

localEulerAngles.x

[novel void]

That always results in some number that's 0 or very close to 0 randomly, not actually affected by the rotation of the object. (this object has no parent)

i need something that spits out the same value as the inspector transform component shows (it has some trickery that makes it nicely readable for humans).

[wintry quarry]

Mathf.DeltaAngle(transform.localEulerAngles.x, 0)```

[novel void]

i've been punching my pc screen for like 6 hours on this

[wintry quarry]

re: #💻┃code-beginner message no you're looking at rotation.x or localRotation.x

which is a quaternion thing

which is not euler angles at all

[novel void]

Ok so this seems to always have a result that's exactly -40 or very near -40. I'm going to assume at this point that something in my project is sersiously f*cked beyond repair and give up.
Thanks for the help.

[wintry quarry]

Show your code

[novel void]

Debug.Log(Mathf.DeltaAngle(transform.localEulerAngles.x, 0));

[wintry quarry]

What number are you expecting?

[pliant marsh]

this still didnt work, i have another scene switcher script that works perfectly fine and the errors unity is giving me make absolutely no sense.

[novel void]

A number between 0 and 360 or -360 and 0, just something that actually changes in degrees.

[wintry quarry]

What actual number though

[carmine turret]

whats the easiest way to figure out the vector2 for my raycasts direction?

[wintry quarry]

How is your object rotated

[novel void]

starts at 0,0,0 rotation.

[rich adder]

wdym still didnd't work
mate you had compile errors there is no way its gonna run

[carmine turret]

For example, I want it to go roughly 20 degrees ccw from -vector.up

[wintry quarry]

You would be providing that vector2

[rich adder]

SceneManagment is nonsense @pliant marsh

it should underline red

[polar acorn]

-40 is between -360 and 0

[carmine turret]

I have no clue how I would go about making that calculation

[wintry quarry]

Quaternion.Euler(0,0,-20) * Vector2.up```

[novel void]

that code spits out -40 and as the object is given angular momentum, it changes to some number like -40.0264837 and goes back to -40 as the object slows down. It never moves more than 0.1 in value away from -40 even if the x rotates 180 degrees

[carmine turret]

Ahh thank youu

[pliant marsh]

how does it work for my other script. Im so confused. I used scenemanagement in it and it still worked

[novel void]

it's not your code that's the issue it's something in the project

[rich adder]

show me

[wintry quarry]

Show the inspector of the object you're doing this on? Maybe you have a component restricting the rotation?

[polar acorn]

You aren't using SceneManagement in this code

[rich adder]

You dont see the difference ?

[polar acorn]

You're using the right one

[carmine turret]

lol just found you, whilst looking for how to get the normal of a raycast 😛

[novel void]

SceneManager.LoadScene

[carmine turret]

You're EVERYWHERE on unity forums

[wintry quarry]

I'm all over the place

[pliant marsh]

i edited it before hand and it still didnt work

[rich adder]

what you sent before was a compile error. Fix your IDE first

[polar acorn]

That's correct now. Still not configured, but the code is at least correct. Are you getting any errors?

[carmine turret]

Actually little confused on this.

    private SlopeCheck(){
        RaycastHit2D slopecheck = VisualPhysics2D.Raycast(transform.position, Quaternion.Euler(0,0,-20) * Vector2.up, groundDistance * 1.2f, groundedLayer);
        return slopecheck.normal;

Gives me an error on return saying its void and should therefore not have an expression after return, but... its not void is it?

Perhaps Im misunderstanding c# syntax

[polar acorn]

You haven't given it a return type

[carmine turret]

Ahh. so a normal would be float right?

for the angle

[polar acorn]

Look it up and see

[pliant marsh]

but the errors are so random and they dont make any sense

[rich adder]

hover the normal it tells you the type

[polar acorn]

See what RaycastHit2D.normal is

[carmine turret]

gotcha

[polar acorn]

What are the errors

[rich adder]

they make sense, they usually tell you whats wrong

You have clear syntax issues

[carmine turret]

Vector2 it seems. thanks!

[rich adder]

or you didn't save

[young lava]

So I've been trying to implement a knockback system to my 2d top down game. For testing purposes, I just added this code to my player movement script. However, when I press the key, the player does not move. Was wondering if anyone knew the solution to my problem!

[summer stump]

Do you set velocity anywhere?

[polar acorn]

Do you have code elsewhere setting velocity to a fixed value?

[young lava]

ahhh yes i do

[summer stump]

Then that overrides the force

You can either disable velocity setting for a time, use addforce for everything, or use adding to velocity with some kinda clamping

Probably other ways too that I can't think of

[young lava]

Cool cool! Tyvm! I will probably stick to just using velocity rather than add force since thats what most of my movement script is using!

[tender stag]

better way to do this?cs IInteraction interaction = hit.collider.gameObject.GetComponentInParent<IInteraction>() ?? hit.collider.gameObject.GetComponentInChildren<IInteraction>();

the difference is GetComponentInParent and GetComponentInChildren

i want either that or the other

look through both

alright dont worry i got it

[cosmic dagger]

why do you have to check up or down the hierarchy? shouldn't it be the same layout for every GameObject with IInteraction?

but yes, you can change this to avoid using GetComponent to search children or the parent . . .

[tender stag]

yeah thats what i realised

that the layout was the same anyways

i just got confused for a second

[cosmic dagger]

good. i was worried . . .

[quartz mural]

how comes this doesnt work?

[rich adder]

they're named the same, put captilized I for prop

[rich adder]

could also do public bool IsPlayerUnit => isPlayerUnit;

[quartz mural]

nope

doesnt work

[rich adder]

what doesnt work

[swift crag]

navarone said to change the name of the property

not the name of the variable the property tries to return

[quartz mural]

THAAAAAAAANKS

mb

sorry

[swift crag]
