[rich adder]

property is still wrong..

I dont understand, you did it correct for the other one..

[quartz mural]

yes ik

im lost

[rich adder]

so why are you struggling with a bool

its literally the same concept

C# is case-sensitive

[quartz mural]

look now i don this

but im gettin this

[rich adder]

exactly

[quartz mural]

and if i change this one to a capital i

[rich adder]

the error now tells you why

[quartz mural]

then they arnt linked naymore

[rich adder]

wdym aren't linked ?

[quartz mural]

ill show u the error

[rich adder]

the error tells you the permission issue

i know the error, im saying do you ?

[quartz mural]

im talkin abt from the console

[rich adder]

alr

[quartz mural]

ill show u

theres no problem 😭

i swr there was before

omd im such an idiot

aplologies

[rich adder]

u good lol

suggest maybe refresh on some basic c#

setup was just as easy as vs imo, plugin was right there in the marketplace, and the editor package was already installed in my version of unity

[rich adder]

I wonder why your colors are blue for MB

which theme are you using ?

[rocky canyon]

idk, i just clicked one of the dark themes..

oh w8 it may not be completely setup yet

[rocky canyon]

there we go

i didnt have the sdk

[rich adder]

for some reason. it struggles with that

[rocky canyon]

ya i had to manually install it

even tho the dev-kit supposedly supposed to handle that for me

automatically having to hunt for shortcuts 😄

[rich adder]

they are wildly different than VS

[cosmic dagger]

Did you switch to VSCode?

[rocky canyon]

just playing with it..

really wanted to see how the install process differs from vs so i have context when i see all these guys struggling for days trying to config vscode

sooo need a snippet plugin too i imagine

sure feels more complicated than VS tho.. with all this debug text everywhere lol

I see myself sticking with VS unless Code somehow wins me over..

[north kiln]

Stupid naming conventions really making for a confusing time. Some of these are infinite loops, others aren't, be extra careful the property doesn't refer to itself

[cosmic dagger]

I will say snippets are easy to make in VSCode. I have Rider but haven't checked out their snippet tool (or whatnot) yet . . .

[north kiln]

It's very easy

[cosmic dagger]

That's good to hear . . .

is your bullet a trigger collider?

[ebon robin]

hey does disabling reloading domain breaks something from packages? Like my code doesn't have much static event handlers or static variables but i wonder if packages have problems

[charred spoke]

Official unity packages ? No.

Third party? Who knows….

[misty coral]

Why are there only options for Ontriggerenter 2D

why is there no base or 3d option

[north kiln]

What on earth are we looking at

[misty coral]

I want the onTriggerEnter methods but they are not present here for some reason

[north kiln]

No idea, I use Rider

[random cave]

Can someone tell me all the different types of GetComponent

Like I know theres one for children and parents

but what if its on the same area

[summer stump]

There is plural (GetComponents) which returns an array
Then the parent and children, as well as plurals for those

That's it

[north kiln]

They are all listed in !docs

[eternal falcon]

Documentation

Get the most out of Unity Editor by accessing our documentation!

💻 API

📖 Manual

[summer stump]

What do you mean same area though

[random cave]

but docs make me sleepy

[random cave]

Like both of them have the same parent

[summer stump]

Components are on a gameobject. So you would do GetComponent on whatever gameobject you want
If you do GetComponentInParent from two objects with the same parent, they would both get the same component

[north kiln]

That's nice. No excuse to avoid reading them.

[random cave]

I mean

[north kiln]

Unless, one of the caveats mentioned in the docs was met

[summer stump]

Yes. Best to just read the docs. I'm on my phone and don't wanna type everything out

[random cave]

There might not even exist what I am looking for

Fine i will read the zzz docs

yeah it doesnt exist i think

[north kiln]

Traverse to the parent via the transform and look in it's children with GetComponentInChildren.
Or preferably, just serialize a reference and don't do any of that

[random cave]

No no

let me show you

If I had a script on B that wanted something from A how would I do that

[north kiln]

Exactly what I said, or explicitly access the specific child from the parent

[random cave]

yeah but wont that conflict if B has the same component

or does that go by hierachy order

[north kiln]

Just serialising a reference is by far the easiest and most consistent way

[random cave]

I guess so

Thanks

Can I use relative file paths with AssetDatabase.LoadAssetAtPath?

i.e. AssetDatabase.LoadAssetAtPath("./myFileAtTheSameLocation.txt");

From my current testing, no.... no you can not.

Alright so Im at the stage where my character can move up slopes (2d) but if you stop moving they slide down, and if they move over a slope from a flat surface, you fly over instead. and recommendations? 🙂

Turns out my tilesets just had poor collissions before, hence why I couldnt go up them aha

Hello. How I can save x rotation of object as variable?

[ivory bobcat]

Acquire the euler angle and copy the x value

Note that rotation uses quaternion and that the euler angle would not always be the same

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

[frank delta]

    private void GetNeighbor()
    {
        Collider[] ph;
        ph = Physics.OverlapSphere(transform.position, 1f, gameObject.layer);

        {
            _neighbors.Add(col.gameObject.TryGetComponent<MapTile>);
        }
    }

why isnt this possible?

[gaunt ice]

_neighbors.Add(col.gameObject.TryGetComponent<MapTile>);

btw TryGetComponent returns you a bool

        }```

[scarlet skiff]

Why? I know getCOmponent can be "slow" but that cant be the case here, it worked before when i referenced a public prefab for the bomb from the script itself rather than GameAssets.i.bombPrefab

Full bomb script if needed: https://gdl.space/fogelazuha.cs
GameAssets: https://gdl.space/jotesulixu.cs

[teal viper]

That just means that the object doesn't have the component. Being "slow" or fast has nothing to do with it, as code executes pine by line.

[young warren]

https://unity.huh.how/runtime-exceptions/nullreferenceexception

[sour ruin]

Hi, I've been going through a big refactoring and there are a lot read only values in my player controller class such has head rotation range, and a number of scriptable object assets that govern data pertaining to player states. As these are persistent read only values between all players, should they instead be stored in a global singleton reference? My thinking is that on the one hand it doesn't make sense to manually drag and drop scriptable object assets onto players/ rely on prefabs where these values are already set, but it also feels wrong to expose the data to everything in the scene (even though it is private set;). What is correct here?

[teal viper]

Do the players exist in the scene from the start?

If not, perhaps pass these settings to the player when it's instantiated

[sour ruin]

At some point I intend to make it multiplayer but I haven't looked into the details of the implementation. My guess is that its multiple instances on start?

[hidden sun]

hi, i made methods from the cloud code subscription messages anonymous functions, but when i try to unsubscribe it doesn't work.. i think i'm missing something. https://hastebin.com/share/awehasezic.csharp

[frank delta]

I know I have google but I after searching I still have no idea what is wrong

    private void GetNeighbor()
    {
        Collider[] ph = Physics.OverlapSphere(transform.position, 1.5f, this.gameObject.layer);
        foreach(Collider col in ph)
        {
            if(col.gameObject != this.gameObject)
            {
                col.gameObject.TryGetComponent<MapTile>(out MapTile neighbor);
                Debug.Log(neighbor);
                _neighbors.Add(neighbor);
            }
        }
    }

My overlapSphere is not returning anything

they share the same layer

this is what suppose to be happening

[burnt vapor]

One thing you could try is drawing where the OverlapSphere is actually being called. https://unity.huh.how/debugging/visual-debugging

Other than that perhaps try a really big radius and see if it works. perhaps it's too small.

[frank delta]

no no the code works, the only screwed part is the layer

without the layer checking part everything works

but it will lead to assigning other things that it shouldnt later down the line

problem is the overlapping sphere is not registering the layer correctly

[zenith cypress]

Because raycasts take a bitmask, not a layer index. 1 << gameObject.layer, or if you know what it is already LayerMask.GetMask("LayerName")

[swift crag]

https://unity.huh.how/bitmasks

[frank delta]

huh neat

[hidden sun]

i need colider for OnMouse functions?Solved: yes

[exotic hazel]

could someone tell me the meaning of instance here

i dont know what instance is

[wraith valley]

I can`t use Texts text for changing value

[swift crag]

can you look at the code for InventorySystem? I presume this is from a tutorial.

[exotic hazel]

it is from a tutorial but he didnt explain instane

[languid spire]

It means that the AddToInventory method must be called on an instance variable of the InventorySystem class
this is why you should post code properly so I don't have to type so much

[swift crag]

Text is not TextMeshPro

[swift crag]

I presume that InventorySystem has a property called Instance.

[exotic hazel]

there are 44 tutorials and im alr not understanding anything at 5th

[swift crag]

this is a common way to implement a singleton

[wraith valley]

I should have use legacy text?

[exotic hazel]

ublic static InventorySystem Instance { get; set; }

public GameObject inventoryScreenUI;
public bool isOpen;


private void Awake()
{
    if (Instance != null && Instance != this)
    {
        Destroy(gameObject);
    }
    else
    {
        Instance = this;
    }
}


void Start()
{
    isOpen = false;
}


void Update()
{

    if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.I) && !isOpen)
    {

        Debug.Log("i is pressed);
        inventoryScreenUI.SetActive(true);
        isOpen = true;

    }
    else if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.I) && isOpen)
    {
        inventoryScreenUI.SetActive(false);
        isOpen = false;
    }
}

}

[swift crag]

well, then either:

• you missed something
• they're going to explain it later
• the tutorial is bad

[swift crag]

If you want to use a TextMeshPro component, then use TMP_Text instead of Text.

That will let you reference a TextMeshPro (for non-UI text) or TextMeshProUGUI (for UI text)

[swift crag]

notice how, when InventorySystem's Awake runs, it checks if something is already stored in Instance

if nothing exists, it stores itself into that static property

otherwise, it destroys itself

[wraith valley]

Ok, thanks

[wraith valley]

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
using TMPro;
public class addScore : MonoBehaviour
{
    public TMP_Text scoreText;
    // Start is called before the first frame update
    private void OnTriggerEnter2D(Collider2D collision)
    {
        Score.score++;
        scoreText.text = Score.score.ToString();
    }

    void Start()
    {

    }

    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update()
    {

    }
}

Help please

That`s have to add score

Triggered but doesn`t work

[burnt vapor]

In your case Instance would be a property or field. If InventorySystem corresponds to a class type, then Instance is a static property or field because you are not calling it from an instance. Do not be confused by the name because the point is getting to a valid instance in this case, which is the idea of a singleton pattern. That's why the property or field itself was named Instance here. If InventorySystem were a property or field, then Instance would not be static.

[swift crag]

well, did you assign anything to scoreText..?

[wraith valley]

Yes

[scarlet skiff]

Why did my Flip method stop working? i believe the only change i have made was changing the name of the object which has this script from "player" to "body" and then parenting it under a newly made empty object.

Full script: https://gdl.space/uqeguzuzag.cs

[languid spire]

scoreText is null

[swift crag]

The only possible reason for that error is that scoreText is null.

[swift crag]

Okay, that's one instance of Add Score

Perhaps you have another one.

Click on the error once in the console and unity should highlight the object that produced the error in the hierarchy

[burnt vapor]

Is the method called at all?

[swift crag]

(unless it's already been destroyed)

[wraith valley]

Nothing

[swift crag]

That is not the console.

This is your code editor.

you will not see any errors in the code editor; this is a runtime error

look in the unity console and click on the error.

[ivory bobcat]

I'm not certain if it's been mentioned yet but that would be the variable you'd use to access the single instance of said object - Singleton pattern. It's one of the few reasons why most opt to use Singletons - for ease of access by having a static member associate with an instance but accessible via class.

[wraith valley]

I did it

[swift crag]

Do this while the game is running. It may show you which object caused the error.

Click once. Double-clicking opens your code editor.

[wraith valley]

That`s all what showing me

Similar issues

[scarlet skiff]

yes, it gets called.

and the script that used to call it when it used to work did not change

[swift crag]

Prove that it's getting called regardless.

[burnt vapor]

Right, and no exceptions are thrown?

[swift crag]

So clicking on those errors in the console did not highlight anything in the hierarchy?

[wraith valley]

Nothing

I can move to Visual Studio

It`s all

[scarlet skiff]

Yes, no errors, but ill throw in a debug in it and see if it pops up (which it has to but i have learned that no matter how right i think i am i can be wrong so 1 sec)

[swift crag]

So you clicked once, not twice?

[swift crag]

Clicking once will not open Visual Studio.

[wraith valley]

Is it?

[burnt vapor]

Alright, I can't think of any other thing that might make it fail. I haven't used Quaternions in a while though.

[swift crag]

Click on the error message. Do not double click on the error message. Do not click on the blue link.

If this does not highlight something in the hierarchy, then turn on Error Pause so that the game pause after an error. When the error happens, search for this in the hierarchy:

t:addscore

[swift crag]

Can you manually change the rotation of the transform in the inspector?

[swift crag]

There are two Add Score components in your scene

[ivory bobcat]

Can you describe what you mean by it "stop working"?
Does it throw an error (during compilation, runtime etc)?

[swift crag]

one is attached to the GameManager

[scarlet skiff]

not during runtime

[swift crag]

I bet the animator is controlling it.

unless your code is already constantly setting the rotation

[scarlet skiff]

Nothing to go off on, simply doesnt flip the character, it still runs, i threw in a debug.log and it shows that the method has run

[ivory bobcat]

Likely something has constrain it then

[scarlet skiff]

well there have been some new animations, ill look into it

[swift crag]

The animator will always write to every single property that any of its animation states controls

(and no, disabling Write Defaults doesn't stop this)

[ivory bobcat]

Assuming the changing of it's name isn't the issue, what object did you child/parent this to?

[scarlet skiff]

bro... idk what i did but it started working...

[wraith valley]

Where?

That`s one

[wraith valley]

That`s object of text

[swift crag]

the search found two objects with an "Add Score" component on them

you checked that one of them is set up correctly

but what about GameManager?

[wraith valley]

I mean TMP

[wraith valley]

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

public class GameManager : MonoBehaviour
{

    public GameObject gameOverCanva;
    public AudioClip audioClip;
    private AudioSource audioSource;

    // Start is called before the first frame update
    void Start()
    {
        audioSource = gameObject.AddComponent<AudioSource>();
        audioSource.clip = audioClip;
        audioSource.loop = true;
        audioSource.Play();
       
       
    }

    public void gameOver()
    {

        SceneManager.LoadScene(0);
       
    }

    
    // Update is called once per frame

  
    void Update()
    {

    }
}

[swift crag]

I don't need to see the script.

You need to look at the game object.

[languid spire]

that is the gamemanager script not the gamemanager object

show the inspector

[swift crag]

I don't care what else is attached to those objects. Those two objects have AddScore components on them. You need to make sure that the AddScore components are set up correctly.

[wraith valley]

Becouse of that?

[languid spire]

there you go

[wraith valley]

How did you see?

[swift crag]

because you searched for t:addscore to find all objects with an AddScore on them

every object in the hierarchy must have an AddScore on it

I think I forgot to explain what that search meant!

[ivory bobcat]

You've got some "None"s here that you might want to consider evaluating.

[swift crag]

Note that I don't see a collider on this object, so I don't know how OnTriggerEnter2D would have actually ran

[wraith valley]

I didn`t understand, but already undestand in practice

[wraith valley]

In pipes

[swift crag]

I think you need to do this.

turn on Error Pause so that the game pause after an error. When the error happens, search for this in the hierarchy: t:addscore

[wraith valley]

There`s

[swift crag]

There it is.

That's what's actually causing the error.

The AddScore components on your GameManager and on your scoreText objects weren't doing anything.

since those objects did not have colliders on them at all

The object with between the two pipes is the problem.

You're going to need to assign a reference to scoreText after you spawn the pipe prefab.

because the prefab has no way to get that reference otherwise

it's not part of the scene when the game starts

[ivory bobcat]

It could be though (hidden/moved after the scene loads)

[wraith valley]

But that`s prefab

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

public class Pipe_Spawner : MonoBehaviour
{
    public GameObject pipe;
    public float maxTime = 1;
    private float timer = 0;
    public float height = 1;

    // Start is called before the first frame update
    void Start()
    {
        
    }

    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update()
    {
        if (timer > maxTime)
        {
            GameObject newPipe = Instantiate(pipe);
            newPipe.transform.position = transform.position + new Vector3(0, Random.Range(-height, height), 0);
            Destroy(newPipe, 20);
            timer = 0;
        }
        timer = timer + Time.deltaTime;
    }
}

Random generation

[ivory bobcat]

Right, so set the field after you've created the pipe

newPipe.whatever = ...

Meaning you'll have to reference it by the specific component type

public AddScore pipe

[scarlet skiff]

Sometimes the bombs dont "split", they technically do but i assume they immedietly touch the ground or something? which i have code for, if htey touch the gorund they explode, the problem is, as you can see in the screenshot, i tried to solve this by making them spawn a little above the ground, yet they still explode many times, before having hte chance to move, do i then simply increase the elevation of the point they spawn at? or is there some clever way to go about this, cuz im worried if i elevate them too much it will looks weird, since the point is that it looks like the bomb is splitting

[wraith valley]

🗿

Don`t undestand

[ivory bobcat]

If the pipe doesn't have the score and it's on a child object, you'll need to either have a script on the pipe that gives access to the trigger or call get component on child to acquire the necessary component - assuming it's on a child object.

[swift crag]

You can reference a prefab as a GameObject or as any component on the object.

[wraith valley]

Pipe doesn`t have

Just movement

[swift crag]

well, then add it!

Put an AddScore field on it.

Reference the AddScore component.

Then, instead of referencing the prefab as a GameObject, reference it as a Pipe.

[wraith valley]

And add AddScore script in inspector?

[swift crag]

You’d reference it in the prefab, yes

Then, whoever instantiated the pipe can give it a reference to the score text

[wraith valley]

That`s for trigger field have behaviour OnTrigger from that script?

In every pipes

[swift crag]

I don’t understand this sentence.

[wraith valley]

I`m not native english speaker

[swift crag]

OnTriggerEnter2D uses the scoreText field to change the text that is shown

[wraith valley]

Yes

[wraith valley]

Why adding object for pipe with script addScore?

That`s for adding behaviour of OnTriggerEnter2D in addScore script?

[ivory bobcat]

So pipe component can access the add score component on a child object

[wraith valley]

But that`s have trigger field already

[swift crag]

You need a way to set up the scoreText field.

You only have a Pipe.

You don’t have the AddScore component.

[wraith valley]

With trigger field

[swift crag]

There is no “trigger field”. I don’t know what you’re referring to here.

Do you mean that there are trigger colliders?

[wraith valley]

Yes

[ivory bobcat]

It'd eventually look something like cs Pipe newPipe = Instantiate(...); ... newPipe.addScore.scoreText = myRefToTheScoreTextKnownByTheSpawnerThatsAlreadyInTheScene;

[wraith valley]

I clicked isTriger

[swift crag]

If you give the Pipe component an AddScore field, you can find the AddScore component if you have the Pipe component.

[wraith valley]

Got it! Adding 1 point after creating pipe?

That`s should be easier?

Type mismatch

[swift crag]

Yes. You can't reference scene objects from a prefab.

That's why we're doing this.

[young wren]

Hi i added some code like this

using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.EventSystems;

public class StopPropagation : MonoBehaviour, IPointerDownHandler, IDragHandler
{
    public void OnDrag(PointerEventData eventData)
    {
        eventData.Use();
    }

    public void OnPointerDown(PointerEventData eventData)
    {
        eventData.Use();
    }
}

To prevent propagation of touch / drag / click etc... from my UI panel into game but this seems not working at all any idea how it should be done correctly?

[ivory bobcat]

Did you make sure to change the stuff in the spawner from Game Object to the appropriate type Pipe?

[swift crag]

type mismatch in the inspector

not a compile error

https://unity.huh.how/references/prefabs-referencing-components

[wintry quarry]

you;d have to show how your game interaction is working

normally this shouldn't be needed at all

[young wren]

I have camera script to move / zoom depends on inputs and i want it to dont get signals when someone press something at UI that's above my camera

[wintry quarry]

I meant, show your code

[swift crag]

if those inputs aren't based on UI events, then this will do nothing whatsoever

[wraith valley]

But i did it early

[swift crag]

No. You referenced a scene object from another scene object.

yeah this has nothing to do with UI events

If you want to test if your mouse is over a UI element, you can do that

EventSystem.current.IsPointerOverGameObject();

[young wren]

I see thanks

[scarlet skiff]

any suggestions?

[swift crag]

also, I'm not sure even Unity UI events even "propagate"

[wintry quarry]

they don't normally unless you tell them to

[wraith valley]

Hard

[swift crag]

UIToolkit events definitely bubble up

[wintry quarry]

My recommendation is to rewrite your camera controls stuff using the UI events then you get all the nice behavior for free!

[ivory bobcat]

I wasn't sure what your question initially was but I'm now assuming you meant that the object being below the ground might be causing your secondary explosions to trigger prematurely. If so, maybe have the secondary explosives disable their colliders for a few milliseconds after spawning? (somewhat like an invulnerability frame/time etc)

[wraith valley]

I should create public GameObject triggerField for pipe in pipe script?

[swift crag]

No.

We didn't suggest doing anything like this at all.

And you don't need to do anything with the trigger colliders.

You need to be able to do this:

var pipe = Instantiate(pipePrefab);
pipe.addScore.scoreText = theScoreText;

That's it.

[wraith valley]

Var?

Why is not GameObject?

[swift crag]

Pipe pipe = Instnatiate(pipePrefab);

[rocky canyon]

it is in this case

well Pipe actually

[swift crag]

Becaues we want to be able to use the Pipe component.

[rocky canyon]

no need to spawn it as a GO just to have to call a getComp on it

[swift crag]

You don't have to reference a prefab as a GameObject.

[rocky canyon]

work smarter not harder

[swift crag]

You can use any component that is on the prefab's root object -- the one that's at the top of the hierarchy.

[rocky canyon]

say a friend of mine gunked up his drop down with unnecessary IDE's and what-not.. if he uninstalls them will they disappear from this drop-down.. im thinking it'll repopulate and remove them if the file path is missing

[swift crag]

[SerializeField] Enemy enemyPrefab;

public void SpawnEnemy() {
  Enemy enemy = Instantiate(enemyPrefab);
  enemy.health = 100;
  enemy.damage = 25;
}

[wraith valley]

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
using TMPro;
public class Pipe_Spawner : MonoBehaviour
{
    public GameObject pipe;
    public TMP_Text tmpText;
    public float maxTime = 1;
    private float timer = 0;
    public float height = 1;

    // Start is called before the first frame update
    void Start()
    {
        
    }

    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update()
    {
        if (timer > maxTime)
        {
            GameObject newPipe = Instantiate(pipe);
            newPipe.transform.position = transform.position + new Vector3(0, Random.Range(-height, height), 0);
          newPipe.tmpText = Score.score;
            Destroy(newPipe, 20);
            timer = 0;
        }
        timer = timer + Time.deltaTime;
    }
}

[ivory bobcat]

You can have a field referenced as the specific component type on the game object rather than simply a game object. You'll still be able to instantiate the pipe object using the component reference.

Replace GameObject with Pipe - assuming that's what your pipe script is named.

You may have to drag and drop the pipe into the inspector field for your manager again.

[swift crag]

Yes, you will.

[wraith valley]

I did it already

Pipes are working

[swift crag]

The old reference will be to the GameObject, not to the Pipe.

[wraith valley]

But without points

[ivory bobcat]

Your pipe prefab should have an add score field.

[wraith valley]

Yes

[ivory bobcat]

If it's what you've shown above, it's not what we're asking you to do.

[wraith valley]

Pipes can generate

[summer stump]

This is still GameObject piper = Instantiate

[ivory bobcat]

Did you change the reference type to Pipe?

[wraith valley]

Pipe pipe?

[swift crag]

Yes.

Pipe is the type of the variable. It's the kind of thing the variable holds.

[summer stump]

public Pipe pipePrefab

Pipe pipe = Instantiate(pipePrefab)

[wraith valley]

Already

[summer stump]

It wasn't in the recent code you showed

[swift crag]

Dalphat meant that your Pipe class should have a field on it that holds an AddScore. You need to add a field to Pipe and assign a reference to the AddScore component in the prefab.

[summer stump]

Can you show the update

[scarlet skiff]

yea i thought about that but then im thinking: What if the delay is long enough that if the player was close buy they wouldnt even be hit? and if i shorten the delay it wont do mcuh of a difference

i suppose i should just try

[wraith valley]

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
using TMPro;
public class Pipe_Spawner : MonoBehaviour
{
    public Pipe pipe;
    public TMP_Text tmpText;
    public float maxTime = 1;
    private float timer = 0;
    public float height = 1;

    // Start is called before the first frame update
    void Start()
    {
        
    }

    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update()
    {
        if (timer > maxTime)
        {
       Pipe   newPipe = Instantiate(pipe);
            newPipe.transform.position = transform.position + new Vector3(0, Random.Range(-height, height), 0);
          newPipe.tmpText = Score.score;
            Destroy(newPipe, 20);
            timer = 0;
        }
        timer = timer + Time.deltaTime;
    }
}

[scarlet skiff]

you could also use https://gdl.space/ to paste ur code more effeciently

[summer stump]

Destroy should now be newPipe.gameObject
Otherwise you will just destroy the component

[ivory bobcat]

Oh good catch

[wraith valley]

gameObject for link on every pipe?

[summer stump]

No, just in the Destroy call

[rocky canyon]

just here

newPipe now references the script

u want to destroy the scripts gameobject

(the entire pipe)

pipe now seems like a silly word

[wraith valley]

Now nothing

[rocky canyon]

anyone present use vscode?

[ivory bobcat]

Drag your score trigger object into that field

[rocky canyon]

"it wont drag, its not a TMP element.."

[wraith valley]

Doesn`t work

[swift crag]

You've attached an extra addScore component to the "Pipes" object.

And, again, you cannot reference a scene object from a prefab

That's the entire point of the changes we're making.

[swift crag]

Do you not understand what this means?

[rocky canyon]

ya, they're guiding u the right way. just gotta change bit by bit

[wraith valley]

I tried

[wraith valley]

That`s

[summer stump]

Tried what exactly?

[ivory bobcat]

The field type should have been your other script's type. I believe you called it something like AddScore.

[wraith valley]

This

[summer stump]

What exactly did you do though

Like which object, and to which object

Show a screenshot maybe, circling the two objects involved

[wraith valley]

In trigger field addscore script

[swift crag]

there is no "trigger field". you keep talking about a "trigger field".

[summer stump]

This is vague, not exact like I keep asking for

[rocky canyon]

he's hung up on this

[scarlet skiff]

can someone simply this for me? what does it mean exactly

[rocky canyon]

it means u shouldnt use keywords that are already in use by unity

[summer stump]

MonoBehaviours already have a .collider property

[wraith valley]

I`m newbie in Unity

[swift crag]

Unity used to have properties named stuff like collider and camera on every MonoBehaviour.

[summer stump]

Although it is deprecated

[scarlet skiff]

so its suggesting that i simply use component.collider?

[wraith valley]

I`m noob

[rocky canyon]

use someting else.. maybe a descriptor

[ivory bobcat]

Spawner needs a reference to the Pipe component. Pipe needs a reference to the AddScore component. If you've got it all, you'll be able to drag the pipe into the spawner's field (scene). Drag the score into the pipe's field (prefab).

[swift crag]

They no longer exist at all. They don't work.

[wintry quarry]

This exists on Component already: https://github.com/Unity-Technologies/UnityCsReference/blob/6a26bc151b158aa1bba01019d97d932710fd8d6e/Runtime/Export/Scripting/Component.deprecated.cs#L76 so it's annoyed you're using the same name

[rocky canyon]

if the script is called Pizza call it pizzaCollider instead

[summer stump]

No, just name it something different

[swift crag]

However, the properties remain for backwards compatibility's sake. You get a warning here because you're declaring a member with a name that collides with one of these obsolete properties.

[rocky canyon]

no need to complicate ur scripts already

[summer stump]

That's why I was asking for a screenshot

[swift crag]

If you have no idea what's going on at all, you need to carefully follow the tutorials on !learn

[eternal falcon]

:teacher: Unity Learn ↗

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

[polar acorn]

A long time ago, Unity had built in methods for common components. They have since been deprecated, but for compatibility, the variables have not been removed.

You should either name the variable something different, or add new before the type to let the compiler know you are intentionally overwriting that I used field

[real falcon]

I have an issue where I have a turret and I need the base to rotate towards the player. this works for the hinge part, but the base has an issue. it works, until I put it on the ceiling. since the base is inverted, I believe that something here is causing it to ignore that aspect of the rotation, and just set itself to the vector assuming that "up is world up" if that makes sense

[swift crag]

We've been going in circles for a long time and it sounds like you simply do not understand anything that is going on here

[rocky canyon]

sounds like u should use localRotations

[swift crag]

That's fine, but it also means that it's very hard for us to help you.

[burnt vapor]

I`m programmed in C# in Windows Forms

[wintry quarry]

Quaternion.LookRotaton has a second parameter, use it.
By default is it Vector3.up, that's where the assumption is.

[scarlet skiff]

i see, but i dont wanna overwrite i just want to access that objects collider

[summer stump]

Then maybe you can just get by with Unity Essentials

[rocky canyon]

we've already told you hwo to deal with it

just use a different name

myCollider

[polar acorn]

If you want a variable named collider you will need to overwrite the unused variable with your own or rename your variable

[frigid sequoia]

Also, I can't quite see this in my head. What does he mean by "the base is inverted on the ceilinf?"

[summer stump]

@wraith valley

Show a screenshot maybe, circling the two objects involved

I don't know where you are dragging it

[scarlet skiff]

hold on im trying figure things out, if there was a way to access the collider i dont want to make a variable for it, but that name for it is no longer a thing is what i understood

[rocky canyon]

also.. you can just call yourComponent.collider to give it the specific collider (if theres multiples)

[wraith valley]

Ok

Wait

[rocky canyon]

ya they're their own thing now.. BoxCollider BoxCollider2D MeshCollider etc

[summer stump]

Correct. There is nothing to use. Make your own. Name it differently

[real falcon]

much easier fix than I thought lol thanks

[scarlet skiff]

thank you

[rocky canyon]

transfrom.localRotation modifications/calculations could work too

[swift crag]

Yes, there are no "magic names" here.

[summer stump]

.collider just called GetComponent every time iirc
So making your own would be better

[rocky canyon]

gross

[ivory bobcat]

Currently the individual has got a Pipe Spawner in the scene, a Pipe prefab and a Trigger Zone child object on the Pipe prefab. The trigger zone needs to acquire a reference to a scene text object. The solution suggested was to reference the Pipe explicitly (not as Game Object), have the script on the Pipe reference the child Zone object (I believe the component name was AddScore). So far, we've established the correct referencing between spawner and pipe. Pipe doesn't seem to have the correct reference to the score yet though (seems to be referencing TMP).

[rocky canyon]

thats what i gathered too but got lost at the Score reference.. does he have a script in the scene that manages the score?

seperately from the pipespawner?

[summer stump]

Ok, understood.
So in this ss #💻┃code-beginner message
The bottom thing in the hierarchy needs to be dragged to the inspector of the top thing
It's gotta go to the parent @wraith valley
The same prefab

[swift crag]

looks like a static field to me

[rocky canyon]

nice.. statics

[wraith valley]

Like that?

[summer stump]

No

[swift crag]

don't move any components around. you've completely gotten rid of AddScore.

[rocky canyon]

he meant drag the box collider 2d Component

onto the root Pipes

[wraith valley]

The bottom thing in the hierarchy needs to be dragged to the inspector of the top thing

[rocky canyon]

but fen says different

[summer stump]

Yes. And that means something different than what you inferred

I meant, select pipe

[swift crag]

it's a very vague statement

[wraith valley]

That`s bad translator.

I`m read, and another contex

[rocky canyon]

hold up.. fen's setup doesn't require that

[summer stump]

In the inspector, drag the score trigger into the inspector

[rocky canyon]

his score trigger field is a TMP object from when i seen it

[swift crag]

can you screenshot the inspector for the "Pipes" object before we go any further, please?

[summer stump]

Yeah I know. I'm trying to type as fast as I can 😭

[wraith valley]

No

[summer stump]

Phone help sucks sometimes

[rocky canyon]

doesn't matter.. send ur inspector for Pipes

[wraith valley]

That`s empty object with 2d collider

[rocky canyon]

i know what the object was.. i meant the variable

but ignore that

[ivory bobcat]

Your hierarchy should look like this still for the prefab where the third item had an add score component.

[rocky canyon]

..

[swift crag]

We're throwing a massive pile of contradictory and confusing words at Brian and it's really not helping.

[wraith valley]

No

[rocky canyon]

im following ur lead Fen.. just waiting and watching

[swift crag]

Please send a screenshot of the inspector for the Pipes object.

[summer stump]

I will stop, I tried to make it simpler, but I see it's being translated which makes things harder. Apologies Brian

[ivory bobcat]

So add the score component to that object

[rocky canyon]

we'll just spectate until we get a better picture

[swift crag]

Okay. Here are the things you need to do, in order:

1. Remove the "Add Score" component from the "Pipes" object. It does not belong there.

2. Add the "Add Score" component to the "ScoreTrigger" object. That's where it was supposed to be.

[rocky canyon]

ohh, i see what ur doin now

then a reference to AddScore has the logic and the collider

[swift crag]

3. Add this line of code to the Pipe script. It belongs with the other lines that declare variables:

public AddScore addScore;

This will make a new field appear in the inspector for the "Pipe" component.

It will appear next to the "Speed" property in the inspector.

It wil be called "Add Score".

[rocky canyon]

4. drag the trigger object (now sporting the AddScore script) to that slot

[swift crag]

When you drag a hierarchy object into a field in the inspector, Unity will look for a component that matches the field's type.

It will find the "Add Score" component you attached to the "ScoreTrigger" object and store it in the field.

You must do these steps exactly in order. Do not do anything else.

[rocky canyon]

lol.. report back when finished

[swift crag]

If you don't understand any of these steps, then please ask me about them.

[wraith valley]

Ok, I process information

Omg

[rocky canyon]

👍 no worries.. take ur time

[swift crag]

https://unity.huh.how/references/serializing-component-references#reference-the-in-the-inspector

an exmaple of what step 4 looks like

[wraith valley]

Why public AddScore addScore?

Why not GameObject?

[swift crag]

Because we need to do stuff to the "Add Score" component.

[rocky canyon]

because we want to access the AddScore script

[swift crag]

The game object is not useful.

If I want to cook food, I can't just go into a house.

I need to go into a kitchen.

[rocky canyon]

if you were to reference the gameobject we'd need to use a GetComponent function on it to get teh AddScore script anyway..

extra logic.. extra performance

[swift crag]

If all I know is that I'm in a house, I cannot cook anything.

[wraith valley]

I don`t have AddScript file

Only addScript

[rocky canyon]

u add the AddScore script to it

[swift crag]

You can write addScore, then.

It will still work.

public addScore addScore;

It's just going to be confusing to look at.

[wraith valley]

But AddScore addScore are working too

[swift crag]

You should try to capitalize class names JustLikeThis.

You could name the variable something else if that makes it easier to understand

public addScore scoreAdder;

for example.

After you add this, you should see a new field in the inspector.

[wraith valley]

That`s i know

But don`t my class name

I used only GameObject, MTP_Text

[ivory bobcat]

I'm on mobile and thought the script was called AddScore. You should probably get used to having class names in PascalCase whereas before you had it in camelCase.

[swift crag]

Your class is named addScore

[swift crag]

I was reflexively calling it AddScore too.

[rocky canyon]

same.. but neither here nor there..

[swift crag]

If you create a variable whose type is addScore, then you can store a reference to an "Add Score" component on an object.

the name of the component in the inspector is created from the name of the class

MyCoolClass becomes "My Cool Class"

And am trying the same task

[wraith valley]

I can`t reference to addScore

[swift crag]

Screenshot the inspector for the "Pipes" object.

[swift crag]

Perfect. Pick "ScoreTrigger".

[wraith valley]

It`s all?

[swift crag]

You could have also dragged the "ScoreTrigger" object into the field.

[rocky canyon]

like dis

[wraith valley]

🗿

[rocky canyon]

now ur prefab has access to the AddScore script.. as well as the trigger collider thats attached to it

[swift crag]

Did you just delete the "Add Score" component from the "ScoreTrigger" object?

[rocky canyon]

lol, how did it go from working to broken in 5 seconds?

[wraith valley]

Yes

[sullen trench]

Would this be the correct channel for this question

[swift crag]

Why?

[wraith valley]

There`s was mistaking

[swift crag]

Was that anywhere in the instructions we gave you?

ctrl-z to undo

or put it back and re-assign the reference

[rocky canyon]

yes-ish

[rocky canyon]

my IDE(visual studios 2022 ) is auto completing the c# code, but not the .jslib

[frank delta]

hello Fen

[ivory bobcat]

Alright, looks good. You won't be dragging/assigning anything into this field from the inspector. You'll be doing so through code after you instantiate an instance of the prefab.

[rich adder]

stop with the memes

[wraith valley]

If i delete in ScoreTrigger

[rocky canyon]

ya, you probably need a different plug-in to autocomplete the javascript

unity's setup doesn't autocomplete js

[ivory bobcat]

Just leave it alone

[wraith valley]

Will evaporate

[swift crag]

Yes. Which is why you shouldn't delete the "Add Score" component

Stop deleting random components.

[wraith valley]

If delete from there

[ivory bobcat]

Now for your spawn code..

[wraith valley]

Pipes will lost addScore

[rocky canyon]

the tmp field is a different situation.. they'll sort it for u

[frank delta]

man I think it is best if you understand how unity works

[wraith valley]

That there

[frank delta]

how references works

[rocky canyon]

Pipes will not lost addscore b/c its in the same gameobject..

addscore can't access the TMP field b/c its in the scene

[wraith valley]

I looked at the guide on how to make a territory trigger, everything worked there, and then I wrote here because the text did not change, and I was thrown all kinds of information, most of which I did not understand and got even more confused

[sullen trench]

is it completely necessary for the .jslib code to be auto-completed, im not sure i understand why its not auto-completing but im also not sure well informed about any plug-ins that i need to complete the task

[rocky canyon]

its because you didn't understand some basic information.. like you can't access scene objects from within a prefab.

[wraith valley]

All working except text

[ivory bobcat]

newPipe.addScore.scoreText = yourText;
You'll need to reference the tmpro text object in the scene with your spawner to pass a reference (all the way) to your add score component that's a child of the new Pipe.

[rocky canyon]

https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/nodejs/working-with-javascript

read this.. and understand this. b4 u go changing anything else

[sullen trench]

Gotcha

[rocky canyon]

i was talkn to Brian

[wraith valley]

But i need in OnTriggerEnter2D

[rocky canyon]

but yea intellisense should work. but autocomplete is a different thing.. it can autocomplete little bits and keywords.. but not full functions like unity can..

you'd need some sort of plug-in for snippets to autocomplete entire methods

[wraith valley]

JavaScript to me?

[rocky canyon]

noo.. i just told you to read this newPipe.addScore.scoreText = yourText; You'll need to reference the tmpro text object in the scene with your spawner to pass a reference (all the way) to your add score component that's a child of the new Pipe.

[sullen trench]

intelisense works with my javascript files, but not my .jslib files

[rocky canyon]

not familiar with jslib.. is that just a big javascript library?

[swift crag]

Yes, and that line of code assigns something to scoreText so that OnTriggerEnter2D can use it.

[sullen trench]

no, .jslib files are JavaScript plug-in files used to create native plug-ins for Unity using JavaScript

[rich adder]

oh navarone.. i didn't wnna ping u earlier but i wanted to ask you a question

[rich adder]

anytime!

[rocky canyon]

i found a couple different unity snippet autocomplete plugins for vscode

do you use any?

[rich adder]

for vsc ? yeah I have to use one unfortunately for basic MB methods

[ivory bobcat]

We only need to see the spawner script now. The others are correct as far as we're concerned.

[rocky canyon]

yea, i wnat ontrigger/ start/ forloops etc to be autocompleted

not sure which one to use

[rich adder]

They stil didn't add those? its so furstrating lol

[rocky canyon]

not in the stock stuff i downloaded

this is all i have atm

[wraith valley]

After that pipes1 doesn`t work

🗿

[rich adder]

yeah they still didnt...its, annoying. I use this

[rocky canyon]

thanks man... if its good enough for you

[rocky canyon]

thats the one i found too.. 5 star ratings but wasn't sure since its a third party

and im sure we can add to it

[wraith valley]

What is it?

[rich adder]

yeah the only third party ext i have tbh

yeah its pretty good makes it seamless, the only difference I had to go into the options for the plugin and change the code style of brackets

[rocky canyon]

im not talkin to you.. if im refering to you i'll ping you or reply to one of ur messages

thanks fam @rich adder

[rich adder]

I chnged this because I don't use K&R

[blissful bloom]

I need a small suggestion. In my game, I have a multiple GameObjects "door", in which each there's a script "doorBehaviour". I am giving an AnimatorController "doorController" to each script. Inside the doorController, I have AnimatorStates "opening" and "closing", for each which I have scripts for behaviour "DoorOpening" and "DoorClosing". Now my question is, how do I access the original GameObject "door" inside the "DoorOpening" and "DoorClosing" scripts?

[viral hemlock]

Is it just me or is the movement lagging? is there a way to smoothen it out or is it just a problem with my computer.

[swift crag]

A state machine behaviour can access its animator.

[rich adder]

show movement code

[swift crag]

You can find what you need from there.

[rocky canyon]

w/o the 100s of errors i was getting yesterday VSCode isn't too bad..
only complaints soo far..

• sometimes it takes it a min for the syntax to become colored / regestered as valid methods/types
• sometimes it takes it a minute for unity to recompile after a save in vscode

[swift crag]

e.g. https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/StateMachineBehaviour.OnStateEnter.html

[viral hemlock]

    void FixedUpdate()
    {
        Move();
    }
    private void Move() // this method handles the movemnts physics
    {
        _moveDir = TakeMoveInput();
        if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.LeftShift)) // sprint input
        {
            _moveSpeed = _sprintSpeed;
            _isSprinting = true;
            _isCrouching = false;
            _isWalking = false;
        }
        else if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.C) || Input.GetKey(KeyCode.LeftControl)) // crouch input

            _isCrouching = true;
            _isSprinting = false;
            _isWalking = false;
        }
        else // walking
        {
            _moveSpeed = _walkSpeed;
            _isWalking = true;
            _isSprinting = false;
            _isCrouching = false;
        }
        _playerRb2d.velocity = _moveDir * _moveSpeed;
    }
    private Vector2 TakeMoveInput() //this method handles the movements input
    {
        float horizontal = 0;
        float vertical = 0;

        //keybord input 
        if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.W) || Input.GetKey(KeyCode.UpArrow)) vertical += 1; 
        if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.A) || Input.GetKey(KeyCode.LeftArrow)) horizontal -= 1;

#💻┃code-beginner message

[swift crag]

we should make a thread for this; there's been a lot of confusion about who's talking to who

[rich adder]

Yeah exactly, the second point doesn't happen as much luckly for me, and im on 2014 laptop. Its reasonably fast. Plus On MACOS VS is bye bye

[ivory bobcat]

Other than that, #💻┃code-beginner message

[rocky canyon]

this error means that the object ur trying to spawn is null..

do you have it assigned correctly in teh script? since u changed other stuff u might need to redrag the prefab

[wraith valley]

Nothing

[viral hemlock]

any one have a solution?

[rocky canyon]

yesterday, i booted it up and was like OMG its not configured anymore?! and then after moving my mouse around a bit they all highlighted..

[rich adder]

seems fine here, might just be ur pc / editor hitching

[rocky canyon]

has a bit of a waking up issue

[wraith valley]

🗿

[viral hemlock]

ok thanks

[rocky canyon]

you dont drag the pipe script in there...

you drag the prefab that HAS the pipe script on it

[rich adder]

haha yeah not anymore, but before had to regen a couple of times before it could "wake up" the intellisense

[blissful bloom]

can you give the syntax to access the animator from the statemachinebehaviour? i cant find it online

[rich adder]

actually

[ivory bobcat]

So did you reference the pipe prefab object?

[rich adder]

dont call inputs inside the FixedUpdate

that gives u extra laggy feel

[summer stump]

*whispers* vim is fast

[rocky canyon]

took a restart yesterday to sort everything out.. as much as i suggest it to other people i shoulda followed my own advice.. but i did have to install the SDK i got version 7

[blissful bloom]

nevermind

[ivory bobcat]

Hopefully you didn't just try to reference the script.

[wraith valley]

I did

Working already

[viral hemlock]

im calling the movedir in fixed update

[blissful bloom]

thanks for the help

[wraith valley]

But text doesn`t work

[rocky canyon]

ya, your text isn't set up yet

[rich adder]

haha yeah since unity doesnt work on SDK they have their own .NET package iirc
You can even install sdk 8.0 but yeah unity still on .net standard 2.1 🙄

[wraith valley]

Yes

[wraith valley]

But there`s trigger

[rocky canyon]

your pipespawner script can have access to the text element (since htey both in the same scene)

[ivory bobcat]

Did you create a field in the spawn script for your text? The reference that you'll be passing to the new instantiated pipe?

[rocky canyon]

and u can get ur score from the addscore script

[frigid sequoia]

I asked this in another thread but I am gonna ask here too cause is remotely related. Can you like ovewrite an imported asset? Like replace a placeholder image or model by a new one without having to reassign all the references of it

[wraith valley]

Yes

[rich adder]

Moving rigidbody inside FixedUpdate is correct, calling inputs / pinging inputs inside FixedUpdate is not good

[ivory bobcat]

Since your spawn manager is in the scene, it'll be able to reference the text object in the scene.

[rocky canyon]

yea, you dont need to access the text thru the trigger anymore

you want ur pipespawner to do that..

[ivory bobcat]

You can drag the text object in the scene into the spawn object

[rocky canyon]

🙏 give me strength

[wraith valley]

I got confused

[swift crag]

Yep.

[sullen trench]

@rocky canyon I just read through that link you sent me, and I'm familiar with the content, but I'm not convinced the error is derived from setup i have with Unity -> Visual Studios. I am actually not sure that .jslib makes use of IntelliSense. but i do appreciate the acknowledgement of my question

[swift crag]

Unity will re-import the asset.

[ivory bobcat]

Where's the text field?

[ivory bobcat]

from this.

[swift crag]

This may create or destroy sub-assets (e.g. if you removed a mesh from a model file)

[wraith valley]

Where`s bird

[rocky canyon]

i was going to ask the difference.. since im dense as a granite rock..
i was under the influence that .NET was enough.. (like what you have to install for VSComm to work)
then VSCode wants a different .NET (sdk?) idk.. thats the confusing part..
do both IDE's work off of different things?

[ivory bobcat]

Fix your errors

[rocky canyon]

ya, all i could do is search google.. and i dont see many hits tbh

[wraith valley]

That`s 0

[rocky canyon]

you keep posting screenshots as a delay to what you've actually done..

[frigid sequoia]

Huh? How? I usually just drag whatever I want to import and it just creates a new one, even if they have the same name

[rocky canyon]

its moderately confusing

[ivory bobcat]

This is important @wraith valley

[swift crag]

I suppose dragging a file into the Project window will make Unity rename it if the name is already used.

Overwrite the file directly.

[sullen trench]

That's fine, i came here because the Unity docs didn't help https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/web-interacting-browser-js.html

[swift crag]

e.g. by exporting over it from Blender.

[rocky canyon]

he's soo close to being finished

[wraith valley]

For inspector?

[ivory bobcat]

I've got three hours of sleep before I've got to wake up again 😅

[rocky canyon]

yes, on the pipespawner script.. you need a reference slot to drop in ur textmeshpro element

when you spawn the pipe you'll pass that reference to the addscore script for it to use

[rich adder]

yeah not sure, afaik Visual Studio doesnt require that whole .NET sdk install because the app itself is a true windows app so prob already has the needed libraries inside.

I think its basically the VSCode C# Dev Kit that actually requires the SDK (assuming it piggy backs off it for functions)

[wraith valley]

But bird is flying

[rocky canyon]

digi's here! 👋

[wraith valley]

Where`s is bird is not question

My textScore where is white bird

[rocky canyon]

ohh that makes sense.. i was just curious b/c now my NVME drive is plump w/ sdks and .net runtime stuff

[ivory bobcat]

Did you create a new field for your text object? It should be written in your spawn manager class @wraith valley

[thorn iron]

Hello, I'm wondering how I can add a method to a UnityAction<T0> with an argument ?
For instance, a zero argument UnityAction<> can be assign a method like this:

public class Test
{
  public UnityAction Action1
}
public class Test2 : MonoBehaviour
{
  public Test test
  
  public void Start()
  {
    test += Method; 
  }

  public void Method()
  {
    ...
  }

}

[polar acorn]

I just got here so I don't know what the question is I just thought that was humorous

[rocky canyon]

for the love of all thats holy do this first and then come back

[swift crag]

What have you tried doing?

[wraith valley]

Field for text in pipes spawn?

[swift crag]

Note that, to serialize a generic UnityEvent, you'll need to derive a specific class

[ivory bobcat]

Yes.

[swift crag]

you can't just serialize a UnityEvent<bool>

[rich adder]

I have many .NET sdk versions but thats cause I have to convert old .NET apps to 8.0 for work :p

[thorn iron]

I tried the same way for non zero argument, but I want the argument I passed with the UnityAction<T0>

[swift crag]

then you'll have to write a method that takes the argument

[rocky canyon]

#💻┃code-beginner message

now we've gotten him to put the addscore script onto the pipe prefab.. on the bird he has the addscore script referenced.. and now the prefab is dependent..
currently we're trying to get him to add the TMP reference to his pipespawner.. so when he spawns new set of pipes he can pass that variable into his addscore script to be able to display his new score

[thorn iron]

oh ok, just like that 😮

[rocky canyon]

he's doing the part now where he should be adding the tmp reference to his pipespawner

[rocky canyon]

8.0 seemed too experimental for my comfort

and 7.0 says its broken?? lol so i used 6.0 for now

[wraith valley]

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
using TMPro;
public class Pipe_Spawner : MonoBehaviour
{
    public Pipe pipe;
    public TMP_Text text;
    public float maxTime = 1;
    private float timer = 0;
    public float height = 1;

    // Start is called before the first frame update
    void Start()
    {
        
    }

    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update()

        {
       Pipe   newPipe = Instantiate(pipe);
            newPipe.transform.position = transform.position + new Vector3(0, Random.Range(-height, height), 0);

            timer = 0;
        }
        timer = timer + Time.deltaTime;
    }
}

[rocky canyon]

no i got 6, imma upgrade to 8.0 today if all goes well

... you are almost finished @wraith valley

you'll have to make 1 more change to this script.. and 1 more change to the AddScore script

[wraith valley]

Doesn`t work

[rocky canyon]

its not supposed to yet

[ivory bobcat]

Now in the scene, drag the Tmp Text object into that field. I've seen you search/select through the selector but you can literally click-hold and drag the object with the tmp text component into that field.

[rocky canyon]

you are not finished

but you are close

[ivory bobcat]

If you only click once, it'll show the inspector for the text object. You must drag the object without releasing.

[rich adder]

oh wow thats odd.. 7.0 is rock solid
8.0 is good just a few things changed but unrelated to unity / mainly just other frameworks I use such as MAUI

9.0 is already in the works 😛

M$ moves fast. Unity better catchup already..

[wraith valley]

Doesn`t work

Again is null

[ivory bobcat]

Did you drag the text object into that field?

[swift crag]

i don't think the code to assign it exists yet.

[wraith valley]

Yes

[swift crag]

there's also yet another random "Add Score" component attached to the Pipe_Spawner object

[ivory bobcat]

Why do you have an add score component on that script?!

Remove the add score component on your manager script

[rocky canyon]

he's unknowingly trolling 😄

[ivory bobcat]

Hopefully not. I've got to work in a bit

[wraith valley]

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
using TMPro;
public class addScore : MonoBehaviour
{
    public TMP_Text scoreText;
    // Start is called before the first frame update
    private void OnTriggerEnter2D(Collider2D collision)
    {
        Score.score++;
        scoreText.text = Score.score.ToString();
        
    }

    void Start()
    {

    }

    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update()
    {

    }
}

For this

[rocky canyon]

lol.. addScore is on ur bird prefab..

take it off ur pipespawner

[ivory bobcat]

Remove the component from that object

[rich adder]

Oh btw
Ive made a post since I feel its a necessary feature

https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-dotnettools/issues/1020

[swift crag]

We're talking about the component attached to the object. We do not need to see your script again.

[rocky canyon]

remove it off ur pipespawner ^

[wraith valley]

No

In bird nothing

[rocky canyon]

it should be you showed us it was

[ivory bobcat]

You will not be dragging any text component into an add score script.

[swift crag]

No, it should not be. It was never shown to be attached to the Bird object.

It was shown attached to many other things...

[ivory bobcat]

Show your spawn manager script

[rocky canyon]

ohh thats right it was on his Trigger object

[wraith valley]

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

            timer = 0;
        }
        timer = timer + Time.deltaTime;
    }
}

[ivory bobcat]

You need newPipe.addScore.scoreText = text;
Typo, changed addscore to addScore

You can place it before the Destroy statement

[rocky canyon]

sorry, ive gotten confused you right.. it was on the score trigger.. that he referenced in the pipescript

and when i said Bird earlier i meant pipe 🤦‍♂️ hella misspelling

[rocky canyon]

@wraith valley this gives the newly spawned pipe's addscore script the reference to the TMP text element it needs to set the score

[wraith valley]

Hard

I got confused

Omg

[scarlet skiff]

Its broken again, #💻┃code-beginner message

what do i look for in the animator exactly?

[swift crag]

First, verify that it's actually the animator's fault.

Disable the animator component and see if you can start flipping the character.

[scarlet skiff]

yup, i can flip now

when i disabled

animator

[swift crag]

I would just flip the parent empty object.

You want to flip the entire character around, right?

That means you're flipping not only the player's visuals (the sprite renderer) but also anything else attached to the player

[wraith valley]

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
using TMPro;
public class Pipe_Spawner : MonoBehaviour
{
    public Pipe pipe;
    public TMP_Text text;

            Destroy(newPipe.gameObject, 20);
            timer = 0;
        }
        timer = timer + Time.deltaTime;
    }
}

🗿

[scarlet skiff]

ye thats what has the script, and yes, i want the character to turn 180 deg on the y axis or go back to 0deg

[swift crag]

Read what Dalphat told you to do.

Do that. Do not make up your own code.

[ivory bobcat]

That doesn't look like what was suggested from #💻┃code-beginner message

[rocky canyon]

i even explained what it did afterwards 😩

[wraith valley]

newPipe.addScore.scoreText = text;

[rocky canyon]

yes, ur setting the text element in the addscore script to this text element

ur not setting the text's "Contents" yet

[swift crag]

Correct. That is what Dalphat told you to add. Do not add completely unrelated code that doesn't work.

[wraith valley]

But i should place there

Will assign but what?

[rocky canyon]

after you have this and only this.. Save it.. pipespawner is done

[swift crag]

You should write exactly what Delphat told you to write

[wraith valley]

I did

[ivory bobcat]

With this, does it work?

[wraith valley]

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
using TMPro;
public class Pipe_Spawner : MonoBehaviour
{
    public Pipe pipe;
    public TMP_Text text;
    public float maxTime = 1;
    private float timer = 0;
    public float height = 1;

    // Start is called before the first frame update
    void Start()
    {

    }

    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update()
    {
        if (timer > maxTime)
        {
            Pipe newPipe = Instantiate(pipe);
            newPipe.transform.position = transform.position + new Vector3(0, Random.Range(-height, height), 0);
            newPipe.addScore.scoreText = text;


            Destroy(newPipe.gameObject, 20);
            timer = 0;
        }
        timer = timer + Time.deltaTime;
    }
}

[swift crag]

Okay, good.

[rocky canyon]

👍 good stuff

now ur addscore script will use that reference to set the text

[ivory bobcat]

If not, you may be referencing the wrong text (assuming you've got an asset and an in scene object that's got the component tmpro text)

[rocky canyon]

was his addscore setup already to modify the text?

[wraith valley]

Work

Thanks

[ivory bobcat]

It's whatever he's got on trigger entered etc

[wraith valley]

But i got confused

[rocky canyon]

👍

[wraith valley]

It is not a fact that I will be able to repeat it

[rocky canyon]

thats the reason it was set up the way it was.. every pipe you spawn should function the exact same

oh you mean repeat the coding yourself?

well it takes practice and exposure.. gotta do it more than once or twice

[wraith valley]

All the same, there will already be some idea, but it will be necessary to repeat this. As far as I understand. I create a refab, there is a zone in the refab, I create it as a trigger, I create a script, for example, a finish, I create an ontrigerenter2d method, for example, I output the text to the logs and does it work?

[rocky canyon]

• you spawn a bird
• that bird has a script on it
  • that script has a reference to addscore
• after you spawn the bird you use the bird script's reference to addscore to give it the text element
• the addscore uses the text element you assigned when you spawned it to set the score

[wraith valley]

Does you mean public AddScore addScore?

[swift crag]

https://unity.huh.how/references/prefabs-referencing-components

[rocky canyon]

it is public yes.. so you can access it from ur pipe spawner script...
pipe.addScore =

if it wasn't public you couldn't access it..
it would only show pipe. and then you wouldn't see the addScore

building flappy bird is a great starting point.. but also you need basic information to know what ur doing.. or else ur copying and not learning anything..
at this point in time.. i say finish ur project or w/e and immediately start backing up and learning basic information !learn

Learn english first

Personal opinion

[stark trail]

logic question:
Any ideas on how to cycle a number to the next one in a series, while looping? Best demonstrated through the case:

There are 7 days of the week: 1-7
If I wanted to add x days to currentWeekday for example, would the best solution be to use a remainder operation? Or is there something else?

[twilit ocean]

My hammer glitchdes through everything. The blue plataform is 3 plataforms over one another and that reduced the colision problems, but it's all a mess.

[wraith valley]

I can speak in english, but is not good enough

[swift crag]

Yes, use the remainder operator.

[rocky canyon]

it a rigidbody?

[rich adder]

you're better off attaching everything with hinges

[swift crag]

You'll need to subtract 1 before applying it, then add 1 afterwards.

Note that -1 % 7 is -1, not 6 -- it's not the modulo operator

in case you want to go backwards

[rocky canyon]

you can try cranking up ur collision detection to something higher

[vast vessel]

If its a eigidbody changethe collision detection mode to continuous dynamic

[stark trail]

Reasonable, thanks :)

[rocky canyon]

the ball and chains and the rope bridge look like common unity physics issues

[lilac olive]

            switch (previousScreen)
            {
                case "Spotify":
                    spotifyUI.gameObject.SetActive(true);
                    break;
                case "R6Tracker":
                    r6TrackerUI.gameObject.SetActive(true);
                    break;
                case "Netflix":
                    netflixScreen.SetActive(true);
                    break;
            }```

ive got this system for changing tabs on the players Tablet but SetActive False makes some things break like the spotify page
is there a differant way to just make them invisible and not there 🙂

[rocky canyon]

id rotate my rigidbody using AddTorque or something..

it'd be less likely to rip the balls off the chains

[twilit ocean]

Already changed the collision method on all objects

[rich adder]

yeah but are you rotating the hammer's rigidbody or the transform

[rocky canyon]

^ it looks to me like its being rotated manually

I just realized that in my case I'm only ever going to subtract by 1 (converting Mon-Sun format to Sat-Sun format), with this is mind, is there anything more efficient?

nope; just subtract 1, then add 7

Unintentional side effect of my rb testing , my pistol acting like a pullup

[rocky canyon]

lol.. got the itch eh

[rich adder]

physics are too damn funn not to play around

[twilit ocean]

so you mean changing it from 1 to 0? Couse I don't see a checkbox saying gravity

[rich adder]

"Gravity Scale" ?

[twilit ocean]

yeah it's 1

[rich adder]

why

1 means its putting gravity

[rocky canyon]

until they're not

got this working

[rich adder]

to be fair I had better results in BOX2D than I did in PhysX

I wish we had Havok..out the box..

[rocky canyon]

trying to do a tow truck.. but the offsets mess with each other.. like the fact that one boom faces downwards and the next boom faces upwards..

[twilit ocean]

https://hatebin.com/dvgpiolbes here is code

[rocky canyon]

they dont play well together.. in my excavator example i have the peaks of the booms tied together with hydraulics if u will 2 hinge joints on a pole

[rich adder]

you're using hinges yes?

[rocky canyon]

may have to do the same thing here

[rich adder]

here mine

 private void FixedUpdate()
 {
     if (!canRotate) return;
     arm.MoveRotation(Mathf.LerpAngle(arm.rotation, zRot, speed * 100 * Time.fixedDeltaTime));
 }

and yes my lerp is wrong rn but just testing

[rocky canyon]

yea but not having much luck

gonna need 3 or more per piece

one at the actual pivot.. and then 2 more holding the top of the arm to the truck

[twilit ocean]

did I do right? Is that the right link?

[rocky canyon]

i used that first but had to resort to addlocaltorque for some reason

[scarlet skiff]

im still at this, verified that its the animator causing this, where do i go from there?

[exotic hazel]

im beginner someone can tell what the words here mean?

[rocky canyon]

lol, im not a lerp-nazi

[rich adder]

well no you're rotating the transform directly, thats never a good idea

[swift crag]

was my suggestion not workable?

(just rotating the parent empty object)

I prefer to keep my movements and rotations separately from whatever the animator is doing.

[rich adder]

i just know now the better way so looking at old code now 😬

[twilit ocean]

hmm I don't know how do I change that with force. I mean the quartenion math is thre but I need to do something different and Idunno what

[exotic hazel]

also whats the meaning of these

[scarlet skiff]

thats what im doing already

[swift crag]

read it line by line

[scarlet skiff]

wait let me show

[wraith valley]

How?

[rocky canyon]

current position, start position, ending position i just realize i need 1 extra parameter

[wraith valley]

I did it too

[swift crag]

a hint: a singleton should be..single!

[rich adder]

did you see what I wrote, for example I use . MoveRotation

but you can prob use torque too

You are meant to use the methods on the rigidbody
also turn gravity scale to 0 for any extra objects on player besides player body

[exotic hazel]

ik what it actually means just dont know what instance is

[scarlet skiff]

this is the whole player, but "body" is what has all the scripts, its like the main thing, the "player parent" is just for grouping, as parryhitbox is related to the player but shouldnt hsare the hitboxes of the player and such.

It is the body that has the flip method

[swift crag]

This declares a property.

[sullen trench]

I'm updating my Visual Studios 2022 to 1794. i didn't realise there was an update, i hope that fixes my problem, but I've got doubts

[rocky canyon]

instance is a version of the thing that exists

[swift crag]

A property looks a lot like a field, but when you access it, you're actually calling a method.

[exotic hazel]

and what are {get,set}?

[swift crag]

get and set are accessors. They're how you interact with the property.

C# can auto-generate them if you just need something that works like a field.

[rich adder]

which problem

[scarlet skiff]

i mean, i think thats what i did? its just that some animations set a "canMove" bool is true or false, since during some naimations i dont want the player to move

[swift crag]

In this case, it will create a backing field to hold the InventorySystem.

[exotic hazel]

hmm ok thx

[swift crag]

It would make more sense to do { get; private set; }.

This way, other classes could read, but not write the property

As-is, it's basically identical to just making a static field.

[exotic hazel]

ohhh

[swift crag]

The property is called "instance" because it's the instance of the InventorySystem

if "Dog" is a class, then an actual dog is an instance of "Dog"

[exotic hazel]

so its telling us that its the Inventory system?

[exotic hazel]

ohh

got it thx

[rocky canyon]

what do properties default to? say i just have a set; get; ?

is it w/e the type's protection level is?

[swift crag]

It creates a field and does something like

private Foo propBacker;

public Foo Prop
{
  get => propBacker;
  set => propBacker = value;
}

[swift crag]

Whatever the accessibility modifier of the property itself is.

You can make the accessors more narrow.

[rocky canyon]

okay. that what i was thinking

[exotic hazel]

btw while learning u had moments when u couldnt understand the code no matter what right? or is it just me

[swift crag]

public Foo Prop { protected get; private set; }

[sullen trench]

I'm Trying to Call Javascript Functions using C# Scripts. I reset my project to do it in a simpler manner, but i am receiving similar results. I have clear confusion points here now. Heres my error EntryPointNotFoundException: Hello assembly:<unknown assembly> type:<unknown type> member:(null) UnityPrinting.Start () (at Assets/Script/UnityPrinting.cs:16)

[swift crag]

ah, actually, that's illegal

it won't let you put a modifier on both

which is reasonable: the public modifier is totally pointless in this example

    protected Foo Prop { get; private set; }

corrected

[swift crag]

frequently!

[rocky canyon]

soo private Foo {get; set;} are both private getter and setter
and pubilic Foo {get; set;} being both public unless specified

[swift crag]

Correct.

[rich adder]

iirc there was something I had read a while ago that there is a prefix needed for methods with a _
