[wraith valley]

Is it because of older version?

[rocky canyon]

how what? and why do you have the prefab in the scene?

[polar acorn]

how what

[rocky canyon]

your pipespawner should be the thing that puts copies of it in the scene

[wraith valley]

Text changer

I did like he

[rocky canyon]

i thought u had it working? why is it not working now

[wraith valley]

Yes

[rocky canyon]

do u remember 20 minutes ago us helping u modify the code to work better?

[wraith valley]

Yes

[rocky canyon]

we didn't follow along with that video.. soo its bound to be a bit different now

[sullen trench]

im sorry, im not familiar with iirc 😵‍💫 . but alot of my confusion comes from whenever i make a .jslib to go into my plugins folder, i get this thingy for my inspector

[twilit ocean]

how do I change it tbh. I'm trying but it can't convert the quaternion properties to RB.

[wraith valley]

A bit different because that`s 2019?

[polar wasp]

after a week on khan academy i am finally able to understand math in unity

[sullen trench]

would you perhaps have a link to this read?

[polar acorn]

What is "different"

[summer stump]

iirc means "If I Remember Correctly"

[wraith valley]

This

[polar acorn]

What is the actual problem though. What is the thing that is different

[sullen trench]

alright, thank you, ill keep that in mind. i think you were the one who helped me find this channel, thank you by the way.

[twilit ocean]

@rich adder https://hatebin.com/rqlizjnuwq I think the only line that needs to change is line 39 right? Since it's the one that really changes the movement of the hammer. And controls how it moves.

I identified the RB's existance but I don't know how to properly apply it

[wraith valley]

I did as in that video, but it didn't work for me, and here it turned out that a lot needs to be done to make it work again

[vocal marlin]

do you guys think i should do a different script for attacking vs movement?

[polar acorn]

What isn't working

I cannot see your screen

[wraith valley]

Working now

[summer stump]

Yes

[rocky canyon]

they look identical to me

[vocal marlin]

ok ty

[polar acorn]

you sent a screenshot that says "how" and provided no context

[summer stump]

Make things as modular as you feel comfortable. More scripts is better than mega scripts

[rocky canyon]

more scripts with good names 👍

[vocal marlin]

how would i do it if i only want the player to move if they arent attacking?

[rocky canyon]

if u get passed 1k lines. start to reconsider what ur doing

[vocal marlin]

thankfully im not at that level yet

[rocky canyon]

good, good lol

[rich adder]

was this but stumbled on it a while ago idk if anything changed or perhaps I misread it .
https://forum.unity.com/threads/how-does-jslib-file-work.1379448/#post-8690661

[wraith valley]

But doesn`t work

Working now

[sullen trench]

Does anyone know if there's away to search these channels with some search bar so i dont have to skim for say, javascript mentions?

[rocky canyon]

im going to play some video games lol..

[rich adder]

for example the methods I listed already
transform.rotation to rb.rotation for example, or better .MoveRotation

the forum you will probably find better info

[rocky canyon]

keywords search is all u got here

181 results for jslib 🙂

[sullen trench]

@rich adder @rocky canyon thank you guys

[rocky canyon]

good luck 🍀

[twilit ocean]

I tried changing to rb.rotation but it didn't work. I think applying moverotation now wouldn't make much sense right? Since torque is a similar thing (at least from what I saw on the description).

[scarlet skiff]

im still at this, verified that its the animator causing this, where do i go from there?
And also the script with the flip method is attached to a empty parent for the characters sprite, again it used to work but suddenly it doesnt

[rocky canyon]

thats not a problem with rb.rotation.. thats a problem with ur syntax

[rich adder]

ah yes wait in 2D rotation is a float

try MoveRotation instead

[rocky canyon]

lol i read MoveRotation when i read it

[twilit ocean]

moverotation? Is that a class from RB?

[rocky canyon]

yes, Function*

[rich adder]

its not a class

its a method

[twilit ocean]

oops

[rocky canyon]

it uses a quaternion..

[rich adder]

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Rigidbody2D.MoveRotation.html

2D

[rocky canyon]

nvm it uses an angle.. 2d*

[rich adder]

oh yea

wait

[rocky canyon]

need some conversions

[rich adder]

oh yeah looking at my script again

arm.MoveRotation(Mathf.LerpAngle(arm.rotation, zRot, speed * 100 * Time.fixedDeltaTime));```

im using float

opsies

 dir = (mouseWorldPos - arm.transform.position).normalized;
 zRot = isInverse ? Mathf.Atan2(dir.y, -dir.x) * Mathf.Rad2Deg : Mathf.Atan2(dir.y, dir.x) * Mathf.Rad2Deg;```

[rocky canyon]

mine too.. why u still using rb.rotation?

[rich adder]

start angle?

[twilit ocean]

Look, they said to change the transform in the parentesis, but originally there where 2 tranforms and then they said to change the rb.rotation to rb.MoveRotation but now there's 2 RB's which one do I change

[rich adder]

if you see earlier I corrected mysellf

[vocal marlin]

btw what do i do if i want to reference loads of variables from one script, would it be best to make them the same or a different script?

[rich adder]

2D does not need quaternion for rotation , its float

you have to get the angles in degrees

I showed you example how I did mine @twilit ocean

[swift crag]

rb.rotation is a single float. 2D rigidbodies can only rotate around one axis.

[twilit ocean]

I'm struggling to understand how to apply it on my current code

[hot anvil]

i feel so dumb i am making my very first project and i cant figure out how to make my game end/go to win screen when i make it to my object (just making a basic platform but trying to learn stuff as i go) can anybody help with a working script that i could study?

[rich adder]

wdym its exactly like yours..

execept for the rotation part

Mathf.Atan2 * rad2D to get the angles then pass them in the Lerp (you have this already)

[swift crag]

Get rid of all of that Quaternion stuff. There are no quaternions here.

note that Mathf.Lerp will not be appropriate here. It won't correctly handle how angles wrap around when they pass 360.

fortunately, there's Mathf.LerpAngle to replace it

[rich adder]

yup thats what im doing now, but my lerp is wrong
this is 2 year old code :p

arm.MoveRotation(Mathf.LerpAngle(arm.rotation, zRot, speed * 100 * Time.fixedDeltaTime));```

[swift crag]

I would suggest using Mathf.SmoothDampAngle or Mathf.MoveTowardsAngle for more consistent behavior

The former is good for reaching a target in a fixed amount of time. The latter is good for moving at a fixed rate.

[twilit ocean]

... So I do already have the part that stores the mouse position and reads it back.. What part exactly do I need then? I'm really not sure on what here are actual classes and methods and what's your personal names for those functions. I'm very new to all of this so I don't know the names from my head.

[twilit ocean]

I removed the quartenion stuff but I don't know what else I need to take away and what should I keep.

[rich adder]

like i said many moons ago, all you're changing is transform.rotation to one of the rigidbody rotation..i never mentioned anything about the mouse

i just showed you that we had the same exact code for angles

the reason why its confusing is transform.rotation uses quaternions

rigidbody2D has no rotation methods with quaternions its floats (angle is only 1 axis here)

[twilit ocean]

So ok lemme get this straight. All I need to change is the last line that sets how the hammer moves correct?

Using the Mathf.LerpAngle method?

[rich adder]

if you want more accurate simulation of phyisics

[rich adder]

yes or the methods mentioned here #💻┃code-beginner message

btw these are just to make it smooth going from one rotation to another

[swift crag]

to make sure I'm up to speed here

the hammer was being moved by setting transform.rotation

[rich adder]

yea

[swift crag]

this was causing physics issues because this was bypassing the physics system

[misty coral]

How do i not change the scale

[rich adder]

use the Parent Constrain component if you dont want to inherit scale

[misty coral]

ok

[twilit ocean]

Yes, here's the current code https://hatebin.com/lilgbqctdu

[rich adder]

you can also make a 1,1,1 object to parent to thats child /sibling i think

[swift crag]

you're trying to set the position of the rigidbody here

i'm surprsied that isn't a compile error. does float implicitly convert to Vector2...?

no, it doesn't

oh, I see there's another compile error

those arguments don't make any sense

MoveTowardsAngle takes three arguments:

• The current angle
• The target angle
• The maximum change

they're all out of order and direction doesn't make sense at all here

[rich adder]

brt just changed my old one to

  arm.MoveRotation(Mathf.MoveTowardsAngle(arm.rotation, zRot, speed * 100 * Time.fixedDeltaTime));``` is this correct lol seems the result is same so tis not broken at least

[swift crag]

speed * 100 should just be speed, where speed is the maximum angular velocity (measured in degrees per second)

[radiant frigate]

does someone know why it isnt "bouncing" ?

[quiet scaffold]

Cannot instantiate objects with a parent which is persistent. New object will be created without a parent.

Instantiate(dmgNumberText, enemyPos, Quaternion.identity, GUI.transform);

[radiant frigate]

it seems to not show the layer of the object in the videobut it is indeed the layer 6&7

[slender nymph]

why are you checking the layer like that instead of just reflecting the velocity using the collision's normal?

[rich adder]

not as snappy

[swift crag]

did you put the canvas in DontDestroyOnLoad?

[swift crag]

well, yeah

[radiant frigate]

could you elaborate on collision normal pls?

[swift crag]

it's speed degrees per second

[quiet scaffold]

no

[swift crag]

if you want it to be faster, make it faster

[rich adder]

oh right

im dum

[supple zealot]

does anyone know how i could manage to get game elements outside the game? id like to create a small launcher before the game boots

[twilit ocean]

ohhh he's using words I can read, so should I remove "rb.position" what do I replace it with? You also said direction doesn't make sense but direction has the target's position no?

[swift crag]

well, sure, but you're supposed to be working with angles here

[slender nymph]

you can get the normal for the surface that was collided with by getting the first contact

[swift crag]

you wouldn't use a string that says "he's over there!" to calculate the angle to move to, now would you? :p

[swift crag]

oh, you're referencing a prefab

[radiant frigate]

what do you mean with the normal?

[swift crag]

GUI is probably a reference to a prefab. You need a reference to an actual thing in the scene.

[rich adder]

oh yeah much better lol

[swift crag]

You can also vary the speed based on how far you are from the target.

[quiet scaffold]

i mean im instantiating the prefab as soon as the game starts

[swift crag]

Okay, but GUI is still a reference to a prefab.

Instantiating it doesn't change what the variable refers to.

It just creates a new instance of whatever the variable refers to.

[slender nymph]

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/ContactPoint2D-normal.html

This is the normal vector, that is the vector that is perpendicular to the surface or the incoming Collider2D at the contact point.

[swift crag]

Calculate the angle you want first.

Then use Mathf.MoveTowardsAngle to figure out what rotation to give your rigidbody.

[radiant frigate]

ty!

[twilit ocean]

hmm that makes sense but I don't think I have a variable that stores the current angle do I? Like, the variable Angl

[swift crag]

rb.rotation

[slender nymph]

alternatively, if you are just trying to make it bounce you can just use a physicsmaterial2d that has a higher bounciness

[swift crag]

by definition, that is the current angle

[misty coral]

i cant actually find any tutorial videos on how to use parent constraints, and I don't really understand how to use them from Unity documentation... Do you know any tutorials or anything?

[swift crag]

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

[radiant frigate]

im just trying to make it bounce but i dont know what physicsmaterial2d is

[swift crag]

This is the page you're reading?

[rich adder]

rb.position still wrong

[twilit ocean]

wait what I put that there. Wow that's surprising I thought it would be wrong because "yes".

So property 1 and 2 are correct right? Angle is the current mouse calculated angle and rb.position is the angle of the rb (ofc)

[swift crag]

no, rb.rotation is the rotation of the rigidbody

[final kestrel]

https://hatebin.com/yuszijpoun I have this script that teleports player to the destination position which is just behind the door object. I made the door a prefab with destination empty. I assign the destination on the inspector. However when there are two doors. I come out of the first door's destination. I assign them seperately in the inspector why is this happening?

[swift crag]

rb.position is not the rotation of the rigidbody

[twilit ocean]

forgot to change to rotation

[swift crag]

_playerTeleport = FindObjectOfType<FPETeleport>().GetComponent<FPETeleport>();

This finds an FPETeleport...somewhere

[twilit ocean]

this?

[swift crag]

Are you sure there's exactly one of them?

[final kestrel]

Yes that is where my teleport script is.

[swift crag]

Yes.

well, here's the thing..

[final kestrel]

It works fine if there is one single door

[swift crag]

if (_playerTeleport.isPlayerInRange && Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.E))
        {
            StartCoroutine(_playerTeleport.StartTeleport(_destination.position, _destination.rotation));
        }

Both teleporters run this code.

Both of them try to teleport the player.

The player should ask the FPETeleporter to do the teleportation.

That way, the player can look for a nearby teleporter (maybe using Physics.OverlapSphere to hit a trigger collider) and ask it for a teleport.

[twilit ocean]

So all that's left is the Maximum rotation. How do I set the maximum rotation? Maybe 360 would be it?

[final kestrel]

So teleporters should not run this code. Instead player should do the teleportation

[swift crag]

This is the amount of rotation that you want to happen when this method is run.

This code is in FixedUpdate

360 will cause you to rotate by up to 360 degrees every physics update.

[twilit ocean]

oh...

that's not good

[swift crag]

Right. The player should call a method on FPETeleporter

The teleporters shouldn't need to find a FPETeleport component and shouldn't be checking for player input

[twilit ocean]

It should be called minimum rotation at that point ,_,

[misty coral]

I think this might not be the right solution for my problem, I have a platform that can move, and I made it so the player moves with the platform, but when the player stands on the platform, its capsule becomes really skinny

idk why i replied to that

[swift crag]

Yes, because you've parented the player to something that's been scaled.

The solution is to not do that.

[misty coral]

huh

[swift crag]

One option is to rearrange things a bit

[gleaming kraken]

i have a question, why not just do

transfom.position.x = -10```

in the if statement?

[misty coral]

oh

[swift crag]

• Platform <-- not scaled; you're parented to this
  • Visual <-- scaled

[misty coral]

wait i think i get it

[swift crag]

It's a quirk of how C# works.

transform.position is a property

It calls a method when you access it.

The method returns a Vector3

[gleaming kraken]

yeah but in the condition he just did that

[rich adder]

huh couldve sworn the parent component had a way to not inherit scale option

weird..

[swift crag]

Vector3 is a struct -- it's a value type. When you have a Vector3 variable, it's literally just 3 floats glued together. It's like an int or a bool in that you don't store a reference to it

[gleaming kraken]

would it not work in the code itself?

[swift crag]

let me finish (:

[gleaming kraken]

ah okay

[swift crag]

A string is a reference to some data somewhere else

that's a reference type

Value types are never shared. They're always copied.

So transform.position returns a Vector3

[vocal marlin]

In my game there are two 'modes' (I don't know what else to call them) the player can be in, Overworld and Battle. I only want the player to do 'battle' actions such as attacking when they are in battle mode and 'overworld' actions when they are in overworld mode, and I want the controls to change accordingly. I've heard you can do this witht the new input system, but I'm not fully sure how.
This is what i've done so far

[swift crag]

Nobody else can see that Vector3, because it's a value type.

Assigning to one of its fields would be completely pointless.

You'd be modifying a Vector3 that nobody else will ever see

Thus, you get a compiler error.

There's no point in doing it, so if you do it, something must be wrong.

[gleaming kraken]

I see

[swift crag]

Now, you can read from a field just fine

[gleaming kraken]

that makes more sense, thank you

[swift crag]

you're reading a value from the copy

[twilit ocean]

Ok so the right call is to make this a public variable that I can regulate when I need to change it or is there smart answer for that too?

[swift crag]

a related tangent -- https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/ParticleSystem-main.html

This is why you have to do that weird thing:

var main = ps.main;

main.startDelay = 5.0f;
main.startLifetime = 2.0f;

ParticleSystem.MainModule is a struct

It's a struct full of properties that, when set, call some code to actually modify the particle system

So in theory, this would work just fine

ps.main.startDelay = 1f;

It'd correctly call a method that would go tell the particle system to change its settings

[gleaming kraken]

that wouldn't work floats need a decimal

so 1.0f

[swift crag]

no, floats do not need a decimal point

1f is a literal of type float

[rocky canyon]

1f == 1.0f

[gleaming kraken]

oh

[swift crag]

1 would also be fine. integers can implicitly convert to a float

[swift crag]

But C# sees that you're assigning to something on a value type and flips out anyway.

[swift crag]

hence the awkward code

[swift crag]

You need to multiply by Time.deltaTime so that you change the rotation at the correct rate.

(in FixedUpdate, Time.deltaTime is set to be Time.fixedDeltaTime, so you can use either)

By default, Unity runs physics 50 times per second

So Time.fixedDeltaTime will be 0.02 (as will Time.deltaTime inside FixedUpdate)

If you want to rotate by 360 degrees per second, you must rotate by 360 * 0.02 degrees per physics update.

this works out to 7.2 degrees per physics update

360 * Time.fixedDeltaTime does the trick

[twilit ocean]

My brain is legit burning

Ok, if I got it all right, putting 360 * Time.FixedDeltaTime will make it work?

[swift crag]

Using that for the maxDelta argument will let the rotation change by up to 360 degrees per second.

[twilit ocean]

so this?

[swift crag]

That looks reasonable, yes.

[twilit ocean]

Well, at least it's moving so that's great, but the hammerhead is going wild

[rich adder]

thats because the hammer is non-uniformed scaled, when you rotate the child hammer skews

[twilit ocean]

Ok you gotta explain what are those words. What is something non-uniform scaled?

[vocal marlin]

How do i use the action maps i have set up here in unity to achieve what i want?

[swift crag]

Given an InputActionMap, you can call Enable or Disable on it to enable/disable all of its actions.

[rich adder]

instead of numbers being the same they are not,
eg
uniform : x 0.5f, y 0.5f, z 0.5f
non-uniform : x 0.3f, x 0.5f, x 0.1f

[vocal marlin]

ok ty

[swift crag]

non-uniform scaling causes skewing when a child object rotates

The child experiences scaling in varying directions as it rotates.

[rich adder]

make the hammer head child of player and attach it to hammer with a fixed joint

[twilit ocean]

well if that's the case a hammer is not uniform by nature.

[twilit ocean]

will try

[swift crag]

or just parent the various visuals to a single object

avoid parenting something to a non-uniformly scaled transform

[rich adder]

using fixed joint . legs too long or arm not long enough

[twilit ocean]

So making the hammer a single, more complex collision shape, and all the visuals just parents of it with nothing running?

[swift crag]

You can have several primitive colliders parented to the object.

[twilit ocean]

Instead of 2 separate collisions boxes?

[swift crag]

a rigidbody uses all colliders parented to it.

[twilit ocean]

So which one is more appropiate? One single collision with the shape of the hammer or 2 square-like boxes that have a similar-shape?

[swift crag]

Whatever's easier to implement.

[ionic zephyr]

if I am trying to each of my characters to have a different hability (like an smash attack in smash) how could I face that?

[twilit ocean]

I guess 2 colliders might also make it less capable of going through objects since it checks twice in overlapping points.

At least in my ooga booga logic (more equal good)

[ionic zephyr]

A script for each of the habilities?

[sullen trench]

@rich adder @rocky canyon update Solved 🥳 Thanks for the tips. All in the search tool.

[rocky canyon]

in here? nice

[digital pier]

anyone know of any 1 on 1 tutoring services for Unity?

[rocky canyon]

https://www.fiverr.com/search/gigs?query=unity tutor&source=main_banner_semv2&ref_ctx_id=603c4de24cdf4cb68ad480830b327412&search_in=everywhere&search-autocomplete-original-term=unity tutor fiverr is always a given

more financially viable to teach yourself

many many tutorials both text and video format

[twilit ocean]

Thanks for all the help till now @swift crag @rich adder. The current state is still a little glitchy and I'm not sure why, since all calculations are being made in Rigid Body now.

I'm just thinking that we've been here for so long bcs I'm quite dum when it comes to coding.

[rich adder]

if you're talking about the hammer going into stuff, it literally has no collider or rigidbody

[twilit ocean]

ahhh the recording is all chopped

[rich adder]

fixed joint goes on the hammer head with rigidbody and collider

I put my Mass probably too high, but you get the point

[rocky canyon]

heard of this plug-in? i cant seem to get it to work.. or idk how to trigger it

[rich adder]

same 😦

[rocky canyon]

ahh thats the one u were talkin about earlier

[grizzled zealot]

Is there a way to show this in the Inspector? Somehow the inspector doesn't show things computed with =>. The original objecti is not serializable.

[rich adder]

yeah idk why its completly disabled now, it used to work..somewhat just badly

[grizzled zealot]

Even adding [SerializeField] will not show the fields in the inspector.

[rich adder]

maybe they disabled it

[twilit ocean]

At the end I showed the collisions. The hammer got all the collisions on it and the head is just attached to it

[rich adder]

props don't show in the inspector

[rich adder]

this is all types of wrong. why does the fixed joint on the Arm hammer, and why is rotation on Z locked?

[languid spire]

and [Header] only works immediately before a serializabe displayed field

[grizzled zealot]

But doesn't [field: SerializeField] work for properties with simple setter/getters ?

[languid spire]

yes, which is not the case here

[rich adder]

afaik it will not work with =>

[grizzled zealot]

Is there a way to show a general ToString() in an inspector?

[twilit ocean]

I don 't know what does "why does the fixed joint on the arm hammer" means but the Z-rotation is locked because of this

[grizzled zealot]

Basically, I have my own custom class, but want the inspector to show property.ToString()

[rich adder]

because you still have a fixed joint on it..

so its locked to player

the arm hammer should have the Hinge joint to player, then hammer head is fixed joint to arm of hammer

[twilit ocean]

So removing the pivot you say?

[rich adder]

replace it with a hinge joint

so it swings attached to player rb

and also affects it

[twilit ocean]

What should I replace?

[rich adder]

I just tolds you

[twilit ocean]

Pivot is a game object

I can't replace a game object with a component

[rich adder]

if you attach arm hammer with joint you dont really need pivot

hinge is the pivot

[twilit ocean]

This then ?

[rich adder]

yea

[twilit ocean]

Cant wait to see what will happen

[rich adder]

should be something like this

[rocky canyon]

found an alternative if ur interested?

[rich adder]

oh yeah I heard of that one, the only thing Im not a fan of is the telemetry but thats understandable

also its more like copilot than intellicode

[rocky canyon]

true, but thats the rabbit hole i found that wasnt blocked 😄

[rich adder]

do let me know if the results are decent with it

[proven fable]

Man someone among u op guys take me under u and train me 💀

[eternal needle]

That's called tutoring, which isnt a thing given out for free

[rocky canyon]

you probably couldn't afford it

[rich adder]

too much work

[twilit ocean]

sum weird stuff. Hammer can't lift the player anymore.

[rocky canyon]

learning urself and reaffirming things in this discord is 🆓

[proven fable]

Getting over it?

[rocky canyon]

make it have more umph

[twilit ocean]

Nope, thought of a physics combat system idea and this will be a goof first step to what I want

[rich adder]

is the player rigidbody locked ?

[rocky canyon]

its a refreshing prototype to see around here

[rich adder]

you are probably moving using Velocity instead of addforce maybe ?

that might override any external forces

[rocky canyon]

ya, ^ tahts true..

[twilit ocean]

//GetAxis only the axis being pressed and sets the movement on the H-axis based on it, GetRaw sets it to 0 when detects opposite movement

dirX = Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal");

rb.velocity = new Vector2(dirX * moveSpeed, rb.velocity.y);``` this is the whole movemente tbh

[rich adder]

yup

I move using AddForce so i probably why my player gets affected

 private void FixedUpdate()
 {
     rb.AddForce( Vector3.right * (input.x * moveSpeed));
 }```

[rocky canyon]

if i want an interactable to be highlighted/hover or w.e when lookin at it whats the best setup for that?
should i do that thru the raycaster (pov object) or tell the interactble to do that.. and then should it be an interface if its going to have a couple of interacted effects

[twilit ocean]

hmmm what's input.x?

[rich adder]

make seperate script for highlighting maybe ?

[rocky canyon]

whatever forces ur hammer is making the player experience ur velocity = is just overwritting it with ur move vector

[rich adder]

its a float from my V2 input same as yours

[rocky canyon]

with an interface to raycast for?

i think i know how imma do it.. just its the same ole thing i always do

[rich adder]

Interface is good

might be able to even levarage the ones already built in Event System with the IPointerHandler

using 3D physics raycaster on cam

[rocky canyon]

holy crap i cant figure out how i call these events

VStudio wont tell me or idk how

[twilit ocean]

Something like this then?

[rich adder]

you didn't have to rename it from dirX

not sure why you did that

but yea ig

[rocky canyon]

ahh i figured out out..

had to find the interfaces references

[twilit ocean]

oh yeah that's because I changed it to a vector2 for a moment ("dirX.x" really?), but then I would have to change other things and realized I didn't had to do that.

[rich adder]

well no even dir would not make sense to me

I make it v2 because usually do

 input.x = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal");
 input.y = Input.GetAxis("Vertical");```

you dont need vert, so you could just do horizontal = or w/e

also get ur inputs in Update and pass them in FixedUpdate

[twilit ocean]

that's resonable, might do that

[honest vault]

why is it not letting me

[wintry quarry]

Can't reference scene objects from a prefab

[honest vault]

Alright Thank you

[wintry quarry]

Wouldn't the bullet just damage whatever it hits? Why does it need a direct inspector reference to the enemy?

[rich adder]

why is bullet referencing specific enemy?

[wintry quarry]

Get the reference in OnTriggerEnter2D or OnCollisionEnter2D.

[honest vault]

becuz i wanted to test smthn like when the bullet collides it destroys the game object but it ended up destroying both the player and the enemy

i might just change it so it gets a certain tag then destroy

[rich adder]

it was probably colliding with player and you weren't checking specific object maybe?

[honest vault]

yea thats why

[quick ruin]

How do I use transform.LookAt without changing the x and z rotation?

I would like to lock the x and z but clamp doesnt work

[rich adder]

var pos = transform.position
pos.y = target.y;
transform.LookAt(pos);```
?i think

[swift crag]

That will still overwrite your existing pitch.

well, that's backwards, too :p

[rich adder]

ah yea

[swift crag]

var pos = target.position;
pos.y = transform.position.y;
transform.LookAt(pos);

[rich adder]

been a while 😅

[swift crag]

But that's going to change your pitch and roll

[swift crag]

Or do you just want to make the transform look perfectly horizontally towards the target?

without any up/down pitching?

[swift crag]

If that's what you want, then this will do the trick.

[quick ruin]

Thanks will try implementing one moment

[native vortex]

I followed a tutorial and now have a working tic tac toe game, yay! I followed another tutorial and now have a working restart button, woohoo! I'm now really lost on how to write a script to check for winner . Is there anyone who can help me? I'm completely new to game dev, unity and programming.

[swift crag]

For a game with a small number of configurations like tic-tac-toe, you can really just brute-force it

[rich adder]

depends howyou defined the move of each player

[honest vault]

dont watch many tuts to avoid getting stuck in a tutorial hell

[swift crag]

check each row, column, and diagonal to see if all three tiles have the same mark in them

[native vortex]

I'm already there, trying to get out lol

[honest vault]

[rich adder]

when I mademine a while ago I had an enum (X, O, none)

[honest vault]

helped me a ton

[rich adder]

then checked with looping the grid

[native vortex]

So that seems to be the easiest solution I've found however I'm really not sure how to write that. How do I setup the grid in unity?

[swift crag]

I presume you've already implemented the tic-tac-toe game.

[rich adder]

you can even use a 2D array

[native vortex]

Yes I have and it actually works lol

[rich adder]

so you're just looping through each colum and row

[swift crag]

It might help to write a method that gives you every possible line through the board.

It would look a little bit like this.

[native vortex]

How do I do that? Is there a tutorial you recommend for that?

[swift crag]

Show us how your game actually works first.

[native vortex]

Okay, do I just copy the codes or what's the best method?

Tried to do something similar for the jump but it didn't work out

[foggy lion]

How do I detect when two colliders with two different tags are colliding.

[rich adder]

i dont recommend putting any inputs inside FixedUpdate btw
esp a one frame event like KeyDown/ButtonDown

[native vortex]

I'm sorry for all the questions and appreciate all input

[rich adder]

why are you waiting for player to press Jump and hold up arrow ?

[native vortex]

Putting my son down for a nap, gotta step away for a bit. Thank you all again

[swift crag]

public IEnumerable<List<Vector2Int>> GetLines()
{
  for (int row = 0; row < rows; ++row) {
    List<Vector2Int> rowLine = new();

    for (int col = 0; col < cols; ++col) {
      rowLine.Add(new Vector2Int(row, col));
    }

    yield return rowLine;
  }
}

This method would give you every combination of grid squares that form a winning row. You could then also add columns and diagonals in a similar way. Given this, you could see if any line has the same mark in every single cell. If you find one, that player wins.

You could also just write them out by hand, I suppose

[rich adder]

OnCollisionEnter

[swift crag]

but I'd rather automate it (what if I want to do 5x5 tic-tac-toe?)

[twilit ocean]

what does "esp" means

[foggy lion]

Right I know about that, but my object uses colliders that are childeren, with tags. I want only certain parts of those childeren to interact with another object that has a tag.

[rich adder]

short for especially , sorry

[twilit ocean]

wait "vertical" is the up arrow not space key?

[rich adder]

you wrote dirXY.y

thats linked to up arrow / W-S key

if you're not holding it then your value is 0

whats any number * 0 ?

[rich adder]

maybe explain what mechanic / feature you're trying to do because sounds like you can just check the tags

or do you mean just colliders ignoring eachother

[foggy lion]

I feel like its hard to explain without just showing you what Im doing

[rich adder]

make a video

[foggy lion]

Good idea

[ionic zephyr]

why is it Type Mismatch if I am introducing a png?

it requires a Sprite but isnt this type of image ?

[swift crag]

Show the inspector for that asset.

the "PharaohSpr..." one

[swift crag]

And how about the full inspector for this?

[ionic zephyr]

this is what it asks me for

[swift crag]

yes -- I'm looking for the full inspector for whatever this is clipped from

[ionic zephyr]

sorry, I am not understanding what you want me to show you

[ionic zephyr]

it is an scriptable object

[foggy lion]

@rich adder

Hopefully this gets my issue across

[sage mirage]

Hey, guys! I have a small issue with a game mechanic I want to implement. So, whenever my player reaches +10 score to increase speed of moving elements which are background layers, ground layers and tree logs prefab slightly. For one reason, my tree logs prefab doesn't increases the speed.

[swift crag]

hm, everything looks fine. Dragging in the Texture2D asset should assign its sprite sub-asset to the field

i just tried doing that myself

[ionic zephyr]

yeah it feels right, I dont really know what is going on

[swift crag]

What if you click the arrow to show the sub-assets and drag one of those in?

importantly, is there more than one sub-asset in there?

it ought to look something like this

[ionic zephyr]

there are 2 more

[swift crag]

there's only one sub-asset here

[ionic zephyr]

oh yeah sorry

one sub asset

[ionic zephyr]

it is a PNG so it cant be the image format

[quick ruin]

if value a = 60 so value b = 0, how do I make value b go up to 30 if value a goes to 0?

[swift crag]

Did you try dragging this sub-asset into the field?

[swift crag]

You can use Mathf.InverseLerp and Mathf.Lerp for this

[ionic zephyr]

not working

[swift crag]

float t = Mathf.InverseLerp(60, 0, a);
b = Mathf.Lerp(0, 30, t);

[swift crag]

do any sprites work?

[swift crag]

InverseLerp produces a value between 0 and 1

[ionic zephyr]

no, no sprite

[swift crag]

If the third argument equals the first argument, it's zero, and if the third argument equals the second argument, it's 1

and it's linearly interpolated in between

[swift crag]

show me the script that defines the scriptable object

[swift crag]

Is this EntityData object also an asset?

i.e. you used the create asset menu to make an instance of it in the project window

[rich adder]

use triggers or perhaps Overlapsphere/box

[ionic zephyr]

you mean this?

[swift crag]

Yes.

[ionic zephyr]

the strangest part is that when I assign the image in the gameObject directly it works

[swift crag]

you mean when you assign it to a SpriteRenderer's sprite field?

[ionic zephyr]

yeah

can you share the entire script?

[swift crag]

what version of unity are you using?

[fading rapids]

How do you make it so your player instantly stops when releasing the movement key in 2d instead of deaccelarating till stopped, do you need some kind of code or just change something in the rb

Set the velocity to 0 when you're not pressing a move key

[ionic zephyr]

https://gdl.space/iwehefuvug.cs

[swift crag]

I see no reason for a type mismatch to happen here. I guess I'd whack this with the "delete Library and reimport everything" stick at this point.

[fading rapids]

But that's the thing my horizontal jumping range is based on my velocity x so if I would let go of my movement key mid jump the jump would also stop

[ionic zephyr]

oh, how can I do that?

[swift crag]

close your project, navigate to your project directory, and delete the Library folder

you can also delete the Temp folder

don't delete anything else (especially not the Assets folder)

Reopen the project and Unity will reimport everything. This can take a while.

It'll forget which scene you had open, so you'll need to go to file -> open recent

[pearl garden]

can you try keeping the rigidbody's x velocity while it's midair and applies the 0 only when it's not midair

[north kiln]

You would get a type mismatch if the type was previously different. Deleting the reference and reassigning it should be the fix

[swift crag]

hm, yes, i should have suggested clearing the field..

[fading rapids]

So basically I would use if(isGrounded = false && input.getkeydown(horizontal)
{Rb.velocity.x = 0} would this work

[swift crag]

close, but you can't assign to the x field on rb.velocity

#💻┃code-beginner message

store the velocity in a variable, modify the variable, and store that back into rb.velocity

[ionic zephyr]

deleting the reference in code?

[swift crag]

no, in the inspector

click the field and hit backspace

[fading rapids]

Is isGrounded = false the same as !isGrounded

[swift crag]

== false is

= false is not

[ionic zephyr]

not working

[swift crag]

since = is the assignment operator

[swift crag]

so the field went from "Type mismatch" to "None"

[fading rapids]

Oh yh obv

[pearl garden]

based on what you assigned it to

[swift crag]

and then you reassigned something and it went back to "Type mismatch"

[ionic zephyr]

yeah, I then reassigned it and isnt working

[ionic zephyr]

yes

[swift crag]

well, go ahead and do this, then

[ionic zephyr]

lets see

[fading rapids]

Oh nvm I can just use my movespeed variable instead of rb velocity since earlier in the script I did rb velocity * speed and times 0 = 0

[ionic zephyr]

it didnt

[ionic zephyr]

it didnt work

[swift crag]

Add another field that references, say, a Material. Does that work?

[rare basin]

do you have any errors in the console? @ionic zephyr

[ionic zephyr]

not reallty

[delicate pewter]

Alright I got a question for you guys, I'm stumped.

Right now I'm accurately finding the corners of a rectangle by simply just getting the objects position (center) and just adding half of its x scale and half of its y scale for each corner. So basically for a 2x4 rectangle, one corner is the center position + 1 to x and 2 to z etc. Like so:

            Vector3 size = unityObstacle.transform.localScale / 2.0f; // half size for offset
            Vector3 center = unityObstacle.transform.position;

            // Calculate the corners of the base of the rectangle
            Vector3 corner1 = center + new Vector3(-size.x, 0, size.z);
            Vector3 corner2 = center + new Vector3(-size.x, 0, -size.z);
            Vector3 corner3 = center + new Vector3(size.x, 0, -size.z);
            Vector3 corner4 = center + new Vector3(size.x, 0, size.z);

Simple enough. However, here is the conundrum. When I rotate the object inside the editor. It's x and z scale is still the same obviously, but it's rotated 90 degrees for instance, so it won't work anymore. How can I instead find the corners for any rotation? Best case would be to find a solution that works with any rotation, however I can live with 90* rotations.

[swift crag]

It’s a type mismatch on an asset trying to reference another asset. Very odd.

[ionic zephyr]

it works with Material

[delicate pewter]

Maybe there is a way of doing it the same way, as if it wasn't rotated. Then use some mathematical formula that rotates the whole thing in the code as well?

[ionic zephyr]

its just the type mismatch

[swift crag]

this can get really simple, actually

[delicate pewter]

Oh eager to hear it

[swift crag]

transform.TransformPoint(new Vector3(-0.5f, 0, -0.5f));

This computes the point at [-0.5, 0, -0.5] in the transform's local space

the result is a world-space point

This will account for position, rotation, and scale.

[swift crag]

do you have a class named Sprite, by any chance

[ionic zephyr]

Oh SHIT

[swift crag]

There it is :p

I got fooled by the icon

and I was not expecting the assignment to be even permitted in the first place

[delicate pewter]

Hm not sure I follow. The object is created in the Editor not in the script. So the only coordinate I have is just the center position. The four corners I just get through using its .x and .z

But are you saying the .x and .z would be different in world scale?

.x .z in scale that is

[swift crag]

ah, this isn't an object in the world

You can still do something similar.

You can construct a Matrix4x4 from a translation, rotation, and scale. Then you can use it to transform points.

var matrix = Matrix4x4.TRS(center, Quaternion.AngleAxis(angle, Vector3.up), size);
var result = matrix.MultiplyPoint(new Vector3(-1, 0, -1));

(i forgot you had divided the size by 2 already; i think you can just use [-1, 0, -1] here)

and actually -- use MultiplyPoint3x4 instead

[queen adder]

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

public class PlayerController : MonoBehaviour {

[Header("References")]
public Rigidbody rb;
public Transform head;
public Camera camera;


[Header("Configurations")]
public float walkSpeed;
public float runSpeed;


[Header("Runtime")]
Vector3 newVelocity;


// Update is called once per frame
void Update() {
    newVelocity = Vector3.up * rb.velocity.y;
    float speed = Input.GetKey(KeyCode.LeftShift) ? runSpeed : walkSpeed;
    newVelocity.x = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal") * speed;
    newVelocity.z = Input.GetAxis("Vertical") * speed;

    rb.velocity = transform.TransformDirection(newVelocity);
}

}

[swift crag]

MultiplyPoint3 works for any matrix. MultiplyPoint3x4 works for simpler matrices, including this one, and it's a lot faster

[summer stump]

Is the rigidbody kinematic by chance?

Does anyone have a good tutorial video on coding movement for a 2d space ship that follows the direction of your cursor and buttons for forward and back.

Can't seem to find one

[rich adder]

how specific

[flint falcon]

Yeah I'm trying to peicemeal it together but I am a super coding beginner

[rich adder]

well start with one step at a time then

get the direction part sorted first

[crisp mountain]

I've been trying to make an object flash white upon collision with a bullet. This code used to do it until I tried to make it better, which failed, and now I've gone back to the old code where it used to work, and it doesn't seem to work anymore. This is the same script where an object is assigned health, loses it, and destroys itself upon running out, which is why the rest of the script is there. Here is the code: https://hatebin.com/bpvnrgeddn

does anyone know what is going wrong here?

[flint falcon]

That makes sense I tend to jump on everything all at once. Direction will be tonight's goal

[crisp mountain]

I know, but the object destruction doesn't always happen

only when health is out

[rich adder]

show where you put this script

[rich adder]

best way to approach anything big, is breaking it down to smaller and easier to solve problems

[flint falcon]

Ty

[crisp mountain]

The bullets collide fine, the health works perfectly, it just doesn't flash

[rich adder]

what about the collider

[crisp mountain]

its on and working

[rich adder]

well thats not enough info

show the whole inspector

[crisp mountain]

oh sorry

[sly heart]

I have a small game for a small project, i can run the entire game smoothly in unity itself. but once i try to export i get a lot of errors. I myself havent typed the script that gives error, it was already in unity. Does anyone know what the problem is

[rich adder]

alright now what about the bullet

[rich adder]

whats SceneTemplate asset

[rich adder]

please dont crop, need to see whole inspector / components clearly visible

[sly heart]

No clue, i just made a 3d game. added hdrp and 3 scenes. I havent created this code I think its part of the hdrp import

[crisp mountain]

here you go

[rich adder]

no rigidbody ?

[crisp mountain]

here's proof the collision works

the color changing is activated in the same collision thing as the health

[rich adder]

does bullet have a script to move it ?

[crisp mountain]

yes...?

the issue is that the object is not flashing white upon receiving damage

[rich adder]

i get it

but clearly something is being destroyed

[crisp mountain]

that would be the object being shot upon reaching 0 health

doesn't destroy itself otherwise, which is why it occurs in the same function

[rich adder]

and does that run the coroutine ?

[crisp mountain]

i will check?

[rich adder]

the script you showed doesn't destroy the bullet though thats why i asked

[crisp mountain]

the bullet destroys itself on collision with an enemy in its own script

debug log says IEnumerator runs

[rich adder]

it is also running so many times

[crisp mountain]

once per hit

five total

object has 5 health

which i might have failed to show that i set in the inspector

[rich adder]

oh wait

ur changing the wrong color

the material might be white but your Renderer is still red

[sly heart]

no need to worrie about it anymore

script happend to do nothing

deleted it all

game runs perfect

build does too

[rich adder]

should be GetComponent<SpriteRenderer>().color = Color.white; instead

you should just cache that component anyway

[SerializeField] SpriteRenderer spriteRenderer

[crisp mountain]

trying that

works now, thanks! :)

but I dont know where is misstake

the "SerializeField" is no green

and things like "Vector" too

your editor is not configured

i just told you

configure it with the steps above

[quick ruin]

this causes the x to be 180 instead of 90, any ideas

Quaternion rot = new Quaternion(0,0,0,0)

[rich adder]

why are you doing Quaternion rot = new Quaternion(0,0,0,0)

[rich adder]

quaternions don't have 90

[swift crag]

the x/y/z/w components of Quaternion are not euler angles

[rich adder]

quaternions are 0-1 values

use Quaternion.Euler to construct a rotation from euler angles

why its gray?

why are my collisions not working? sorry for the sound btw, don't know where it comes from

[dreamy urchin]

you aren't using that variable

when you don't use a variable it will result gray

[mild crypt]

so what I must do?

[dreamy urchin]

nothing, if you won't use it at all just delete it, if not just wait till u use it

but it will not cause any errors if you don't use it

Hi, I tried (using a tutorial on yt) to make character movement but it isnt working :(

can anyone tell me if theres something wrong here?

this is the unity screen, idk if the problem is code or here

[eternal needle]

first thing, you havent specified what the actual issue is. But also this code is very bad, maybe find a new tutorial

[languid snow]

it just not working 😎 (i press awsd/arrow keys and it does nothing)

ill search a new tutorial then

thanks

:)

[dreamy urchin]

moveSpeed is not initialized or I'm trippin?

[eternal needle]

what debugging steps have you taken? Look specifically at isMoving

[eternal needle]

you dont need to initialize a bool declared outside a function

[languid snow]

uhm... none

probably

[dreamy urchin]

moveSpeed is float and he's using it so basically moveSpeed is 0 and he is using it as a multiplier for the speed

[eternal needle]

well start debugging, but also think about it logically. What code can run based on isMoving? None if its false
How does it get set to true, if the coroutine is running.

[eternal needle]

no, it is public and thus shows in inspector

[dreamy urchin]

moveSpeed is basically always zero, so if he uses it for the speed it will always result zero, he didn't assigne a value to it

ohhhh

I didn't see the inspector lol

sorry my bad hahahaha

[eternal needle]

just saying, their screenshot also shows its set to 10

[idle maple]

Hi I am working on a pick up and drop object script and I wanted to make it so if I fling the camera before dropping it, it throws the object with the force applied to it but I don't really know how to do this properly yet.
I tried it this way:
Vector3 desiredPosition = holdArea.position + holdArea.TransformDirection(objectOffset);
Vector3 moveDirection = (desiredPosition - heldObj.transform.position);
heldObjRB.velocity = moveDirection * pickupForce * Time.fixedDeltaTime;

and objectOffset is defined like this:
objectOffset = holdArea.InverseTransformDirection(pickObj.transform.position - holdArea.position);

and it wasn't the best solution because it just keeps getting close too my face if I run, what could I do to make it stay more in place on the holdArea?

[ionic zephyr]

how can I face the creation of different habilities in different characters

[grizzled zealot]

Does anyone have an idea why the projectiles are off when shooting at 90 and 280 deg angles? At 0 and 180, the shots are spot on. No clue, because the code is really simple.

[worthy merlin]

Any reasoning why my public variables aren't showing on my scripts. And why they are grey? No errors in the console other than some Syntax errors (I swear I am not ignoring, just ported over the work using UVC to pick back up).

[rich adder]

if you have compile errors the variables wont show cause scripts cannot compile

[worthy merlin]

Ah, gotcha, I'll fix that up and see if it comes back.

yep that was it. Thx!

[ionic zephyr]

how can I do a follow bullet?

[rare basin]

did you try type that in google?

[ionic zephyr]

also, how can I do that each character in my game has a different hability although they have common scripts?

is there a really good way to face it?

I thought of using a character ID

yo i need help with this

[ionic zephyr]

and depending of it trying one thing or another

[queen adder]

i am setting up multiplayer rn

[rare basin]

well, did you read the error

[queen adder]

Yes.

Did everything to fix it.

[rare basin]

what exactly

[queen adder]

I rewrote the line. I went to where it said the error was but there was nothing in that line.

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

public class ConnectToServer : MonoBehaviourPunCallbacks
{
   

    private void Start()
    {
        PhotonNetwork.ConnectUsingSettings();
    }

    public override void OnConnectedToMaster()
    {
        PhotonNetwork.JoinLobby();
    }

    public override void OnJoinedLobby()
    {
        SceneManagement.LoadScene("Lobby");
    }


}```

[rare basin]

is your ide configured?

[rich adder]

has to be troll, this happened last time too

[languid snow]

(update, changed the code completely, its much much simpler now and it works)

[rare basin]

yea like wtf

same tutorial

probably the tutorial has wrong code xD

[queen adder]

im using visual studio 2022

[eternal needle]

honestly this makes no sense

[rare basin]

not what i asked

[queen adder]

how do i find if it is configured

[rare basin]

!ide

they all have the movement script, health script, shot script

[ionic zephyr]

but how can I make different habilities

[queen adder]

i have the visual studio with unity hub

[rich adder]

the new brackys

[rare basin]

not what i asked

again

configure your IDE, then you will have your error underlined in red

[queen adder]

I click the link and configure it?

[rare basin]

well, try it and see lol

[queen adder]

alr

[eternal needle]

what does this have to do with anything? take a moment and think about what you're doing and what a "hability" is

[ionic zephyr]

thing of it as an special boost

[rocky canyon]

oh, like an ability?

[eternal needle]

i am telling you to take a moment and think about it, what is a "special boost" code wise

[ionic zephyr]

for example, my idea is that one of the characters shoots a bullet that follows the target, how can I make that possible only if it is one charcater who is using it

[rare basin]

do you actually read what @eternal needle is writing to you?

[eternal needle]

🤷‍♂️ i dont know if we're being trolled or if i need to go to sleep. all of these recent questions make no sense lol

[ionic zephyr]

yes bro

[rare basin]

ok bro

[tall delta]

IDE configuration has nothing do to with this error, as it's unrelated to compilation.
there are many ways to get this error, but an educated guess is that you have your own script called SceneManagement somewhere and the complier is getting confused, that or unity version might be wrong.
try to use a fully qualified name and see if that helps. UnityEngine.SceneManagement.SceneManager.LoadScene("Lobby");

[queen adder]

alr

alr

error is gone

yippe

[sly wasp]

How would I instantiate these objects in a certain range?

I have
public float range = 90;

And here I would like to instantiate that range
GameObject[] gatesTrackEMPTY = GameObject.FindGameObjectsWithTag("gatesTrack");

foreach (GameObject position in gatesTrackEMPTY)
{
Instantiate(gatesTrack, position.transform);
}

[summer stump]

@sly wasp Random.InsideUnitSphere * range

I think it's called that

Look up tbe docs for Random

[sly wasp]

I’ll look it up

But I’m just trying to make it in a range, not random

[meager raptor]

does anyone know the reason my units can travel through this building asset i got from unity asset store? what do i need to add in the inspector?

[verbal dome]

What exactly does that mean?

[eternal needle]

then make it whereever you like https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Object.Instantiate.html pass in the exact position you want instead of doing it by parenting

[tall delta]

It’s kinda hard to understand without more context, but essentially what you need to do is scale a vector.
Something like this:

// get a vector pointing from this object, to the object in question
var directionOfSpawnPoint = (position.transform.position -  this.transform.postion).normalized

// scale the vector to be the correct ‘length / range’
var pointWithinRage = directionOfSpawnPoint * range;

// get the final position by starting at ‘this’ then walk to the spawn point
var spawnPosition = this.transform.postion + pointWithinRage;

Instantiate(gatesTrack, spawnPosition);

I hope that makes sense 🙂

[verbal dome]

How are your units moving?
You most likely need to add a collider to the building

[meager raptor]

they're going straight through it like it's nothing

[verbal dome]

But how are you moving them

The unit should have a rigidbody and a collider, and the building needs a collider too

If you are using rigidbodies, that is

Or is it just navmesh agent?

[meager raptor]

ye it's navmesh agent

sorry i didnt understand the question

[sly wasp]

I have different prefabs that instantiate the track object in any empty game object with a certain tag, I need it in a length because I know how long the prefab is, if I just instantiate it will do it on previous prefabs

I actually mean a length not a range

[verbal dome]

Yep make sure the building has a collider and bake the navmesh again. Assuming that the navmesh surface is using colliders, not renderers

[verbal dome]

Are you trying to spawn these objects like in a row, next to each other?

Oh track objects, so like pieces of road?

[sly wasp]

Tracks weren’t a very good example

Let me describe it differently

[verbal dome]

Make a Vector3 before the foreach loop and add an offset to that vector every time you spawn one

[sly wasp]

Ok let’s think of it like this
I have different “chunks” that are spawned, they are prefabs that contain empty game objects with certain tags for different obstacles

So I was using the code at the bottom to instantiate them. It worked, only problem is that it generates in previous “chunks” too, so I need it to only generate them in a specific length

[meager raptor]

worked thnx

[potent nymph]

I'm trying to port the following HLSL code to C#

void Hash_Tchou_2_2_uint(uint2 v, out uint2 o)
{
    // ~8 alu (2 mul)
    v.y ^= 1103515245U;
    v.x += v.y;
    v.x *= v.y;
    v.x ^= v.x >> 5u;
    v.x *= 0x27d4eb2du;
    v.y ^= (v.x << 3u);
    o = v;
}

for this line v.x ^= v.x >> 5u;, I'm getting the following error:

I think Unity.Mathematics has a method for this but I don't know what this operator is

[polar acorn]

Didn't we literally solve this exact error on basically an identical script yesterday? Where did you find this? Is there a tutorial that has SceneManagement on it?

[eternal needle]

v.x >> 5 should be fine there

uint >> int

[potent nymph]

I'm wondering if there's a difference when converting that int to a uint

Ideally I'd like the code the behave the same—asking just in case

v.y ^= (v.x << 3u); also had that error

[eternal needle]

uint is just unsigned, you can use larger numbers with it but not negative. doesnt matter in this case

also you arent converting the number to int, it is just the shift count
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/language-reference/operators/bitwise-and-shift-operators#shift-count-of-the-shift-operators

[meager raptor]

purpose: click on icon in the UI and should produce unit (ignore icons being same im too lazy to fetch 3 other icons)
problem: when i first select the building, the highlight doesn't appear, and each button produces the same unit (this is what it shouldn't do). when i deselect and reselect, the highlight appears and each button produces a different unit (this is what it should do).

my question is, why is the first part occuring?

[polar wasp]

just finished the junior programmer thing on unity learn 😄

[potent nymph]

thanks for the resources, I'll definitely check them out 👍

[eternal needle]

i shouldve quoted but the only part of it that really mattered was

For the built-in shift operators <<, >>, and >>>, the type of the right-hand operand must be int or a type that has a predefined implicit numeric conversion to int.

[polar wasp]

so, you're supposed to be able to click on the building and highlight it then a unit from the bottom, which i assume spawns different types of units, correct?

[meager raptor]

yep the bottom is the UI, each button represents a different unit, and should produce that unit, problem is this spawns the same unit when i select on the building first

[polar wasp]

and its only when you highlight the building first?

[meager raptor]

when i select building second time, green circle appears like this #💻┃code-beginner message

and everything works fine

[meager raptor]

ye

there's no green circle when i select first

[polar wasp]

can i see some code?

[opal vortex]

Trying out events/listeners like is outlined here and hitting a confusing hurdle. https://gamedevbeginner.com/events-and-delegates-in-unity/
Basically hitting a UI button should trigger an event that the dice objects are listening for, and they then call their DiceRoll.RollDie public method. This all worked fine before using events, but for whatever reason the various public functions don't populate as options here. No idea why. Any suggestions?

[opal vortex]

Ex of what I'm expecting to see:

[meager raptor]

i think this error is quite tricky idk if u cant solve it's fine ill work my way round it

[north kiln]

https://unity.huh.how/unity-events/incorrect-assignment

[opal vortex]

huh

ok it works when linking the gameobject to the script attachment, but how would that even work for like dynamically created objects during runtime

[polar wasp]

the code looks airtight to me, if i had to guess, you would have to do some digging in your hierarchy to see if you have anything significantly different from your first building or something

[meager raptor]

it's like this

[polar wasp]

like the menu itself or how you would go about making the menu load certain scenes?

[north kiln]

You can't assign persistent events using dynamic objects. You have to use AddListener in code

[polar wasp]

is IsInteracting triggered by a mouse click on the building?

[young lava]

I had a question. So I am making a top down 2D game. For my movement script, I am just setting the velocity, rather than using AddForce. I did some research and I found that it varies from game to game and what you want (whether you want a more realistic movement system or a more arcade snappy feel). I do want the latter, but when adding in features such as knockback should I maintain consistency and set the velocity for a duration or would it be fine to use both AddForce/velocity setting.

[meager raptor]

yeah

[rocky canyon]

depends on how u have it.. but most likely ur velocity is gonna override ur addforce.. u can add and subtracted the forces from the vector ur using for ur velocity.. before you pass it into the function

[polar wasp]

what does the script that spawns units look like?

[rocky canyon]

//set ur up forces from ur inputs..
//add or subtract any knockback or dash forces
//pass in the final result as ur velocity

[polar wasp]

can't you use .AddForce anyways even if everything else uses velocity?

[rocky canyon]

yea if they're different objects.. u start mixing them on teh same object is when u run into issues

[polar wasp]

do you think its spawning the same unit because its just spawning whatever's first in the spawn order?

[summer stump]

Could get around it with statemachines or timers/coroutines
Disable velocity when doing addforce

[meager raptor]

i clciked on every button and it spawns the same unit, only when i select the building first time and no highlight appears

got any ideas why the highlight doesnt appear first time round tho?

[polar wasp]

no clue honestly

[rocky canyon]

probably bc u set a bool and then read from it immediately

[meager raptor]

probably, this is the whole script for it

[polar wasp]

idk how your troop selection system works but the spawner you showed me just spawns the first troop in the array from what i saw

[meager raptor]

its supposed to change the highlight once i interact with building

[meager raptor]

ye it's like that

[opal vortex]

that's exactly what I'm trying to do, though. listener script attached to each instance of the object sets up the listener

[rocky canyon]

nah that doesnt seem to be the case there

b/c u call the Highlight function on interact

[north kiln]

That looks like a compiler error. !ide

yeah, i can show you more info it might solve idk tho

the building and player units both use that interactable script i showed u, when i select the units first time round they are selected just fine

[north kiln]

Note that listeners added by AddListener will not appear in the inspector.

[queen adder]

why my ''on click'' appears like this??

[north kiln]

Presumably your inspector is set to Debug mode

[queen adder]

thaaaankssss!

[opal vortex]

I wasn't getting any errors, though, just couldn't figure out how to link the scripts and objects together properly

well it's ok now, thanks

[young lava]

i see i see. would you recommend that i switch off velocity setting and use addforce then? is there a way i can get that same snappy feely as velocity setting while using addforce?

[summer stump]

Since it's a networking issue, try in #archived-networking
Generally people get worried seeing someone in code BEGINNER asking about multiplayer

Same difference. Belongs in #archived-networking

[honest trench]

    {
        if (other.gameObject.tag == "Checkpoint")
        {
            Debug.Log("Checkpoint");
            lastCheckpoint = other.transform.position;
        }
    }```
So this code should be debugging when the player (what this script is on) touches an object with the tag Checkpoint. I have checked that the tag is spelled right, and that the object with the tag has an ontrigger collider, but nothing. Any idea why?

[teal viper]

Add a debug log outside the if statement and see if there is a collision at all(and with what)

[honest trench]

When i put a debug above the if statement it also doesnt fire

[teal viper]

Then your collision doesn't work. Does one of the objects have an rb?

[honest trench]

the player does yeah

Does that mess with it?

[teal viper]

No. It's required for a collision.

Take a screenshot of both of the object's inspectors.

[honest trench]

Player:

Checkpoint:

[teal viper]

You're dealing with 2d physics, so the callback also needs to be 2d:

Ah thank you

Works now

[potent nymph]

for the following code I'm getting an error that a uint cannot be multiplied with a float

o = (r >> 8) * (1.0f / (float)(0x00ffffff));

if I cast the float to a uint, it gets rid of the error, but that messes up the output

[teal viper]

What are you even trying to do?

[potent nymph]

the original hlsl code looks like this:

o = (r >> 8) * (1.0 / float(0x00ffffff));

[potent nymph]

convert an hlsl function to c#

it's Unity's built-in voronoi shader code

[teal viper]

What does that particular line do? It might be simpler to rewrite it from the meaning rather than convert directly.

[potent nymph]

I don't know what it does to be honest

[potent nymph]

but I've successfully ported over several hlsl functions by simply fixing the syntax

[tall delta]

cast the uint to a float?
o = ((float)(r >> 8)) * (1.0f / (float)(0x00FFFFFF));

uints can't be converted to floats unfortunately

An IDE is the thing you write code in
Looks like vs code in your case?

oh yes, VScode

[teal viper]

You'll need to figure out what it does, because there might be hlsl code that is not directly convertible to C#.

[potent nymph]

I'm so sorry, it was a uint2 this whole time! Casting to a float2 seems to get rid of the error

i know how to do ui

[strong condor]

A bit embarrassed but how can I simplify the below? I know I must not be doing this right

I had a lot of redundant code written below:

            {
                standing = true;

                movingNeutral = false;
                movingLeft = false;
                movingRight = false;
                movingDown = false;
                movingUp = false;

                movingDrag = false;

                standing = false;
                standingDrag = false;

                hoppingStraightUp = false;
                hoppingUpSide = false;            }

            if (standingDrag)
            {
                standingDrag = true;

                movingNeutral = false;
                movingLeft = false;
                movingRight = false;
                movingDown = false;
                movingUp = false;

                movingDrag = false;

                standing = false;

                hoppingStraightUp = false;
                hoppingUpSide = false;
            }

that I wanted to replace with using the function below:

        { 
           var current = currentMovementState;
           movingNeutral = false;
            movingLeft = false;
            movingRight = false;
            movingDown = false;
            movingUp = false;

            movingDrag = false;

            standing = false;
            standingDrag = false;

            hoppingStraightUp = false;
            hoppingUpSide = false;

            current = true;
            currentMovementState = current;
        }
         ``` 
So I can do this: 

        if (standing)
        {
            DisableAllMovementStatesExcept(standing);
        }

        if (standingDrag)
        {
            DisableAllMovementStatesExcept(standingDrag);

        }

        if (hoppingStraightUp)
        {
            DisableAllMovementStatesExcept(hoppingStraightUp);

        }
        
        if (hoppingUpSide)
        {
            DisableAllMovementStatesExcept(hoppingUpSide);

        }```

[tall delta]

a bitmask is the first thing that pops in to my mind. but that might be a bit confusing if your not familiar with bit logic

[timber tide]

you should break stuff into states more

rather, you're depending on flags more than the state that they are in

[proper moth]

just gotta make the script

[tall delta]

but it looks like you only ever want one of them to be true / active at any given time? then a simple enum should fix everything

[timber tide]

if (standingDrag)
{
    standingDrag = true;

    movingNeutral = false;
    movingLeft = false;
    movingRight = false;
    movingDown = false;
    movingUp = false;

    movingDrag = false;

    standing = false;

    hoppingStraightUp = false;
    hoppingUpSide = false;
}

In this example, when you go into an idle state such there has been no input, you shouldn't care if you're moving in a direction nor need to read any input for it knowing that state.

And, for a moving state, instead of having 4 different direction flags, consider an enum for the direction

[tall delta]

I'd recommend formulating the entire problem / question all at once. it's hard to parse what your asking if you don't do that, so your not going to get good answers.

[proper moth]

ok

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

public class Caculate : MonoBehaviour
{
public TextMeshProUGUI Result;
public TextMeshProUGUI Input1;
public TextMeshProUGUI Input2;
public TextMeshProUGUI DropDown;

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

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

}
when i try to add a input field in unity it wont let me

and a dropdown to

nvm

[strong condor]

That makes sense but for this game, the player is sort of drifting in space by swiping him around. So after a while of floating to the right when velocity slows down, he goes into the idle movement state. Its not really input driven

[strong condor]

This makes a lot of sense. And sorry but I meant to ask why does my function to simplify it not work though. Something must be wrong with it

[tall delta]

well.. if you break down the function you posted. let's just remove the setting of all variables to false for readabiliy.
the logic you have is this:

    public void DisableAllMovementStatesExcept(bool currentMovementState) { 
          // set the local variable 'current' to be equal to currentMovementState)
          var current = currentMovementState;

           // ignore the last line and set it to 'true'
           current = true;

           //now set the local parameter 'currentMovementState' equal to true.
           currentMovementState = current;
    }```
so, I'm not sure what you wanted it to do, but rn, it's not really doing anything. except set all of these to false:

        movingNeutral = false;
        movingLeft = false;
        movingRight = false;
        movingDown = false;
        movingUp = false;
        movingDrag = false;
        standing = false;
        standingDrag = false;
        hoppingStraightUp = false;
        hoppingUpSide = false;```

[native vortex]

How could you tell its unconfigured just by looking at it?

[tall delta]

and where you call DisableAllMovementStatesExcept(standingDrag); c# has no concept of the variable standingDrag like it does not understand that that's the same variable inside DisableAllMovementStatesExcept, since standingDrag is a value type, not a reference type. you're just telling it the current value (true or false) of standingDrag

https://medium.com/@dev.msalah/value-vs-reference-types-in-c-573e3cf6c5bf
this might clarify the issue.

Thanks! I didn't realize making a tic tac toe game was going to be such a challenge LOL

@summer stump I've asked chatgpt for help and while it's helpful, I'm still lost on how to write "check for winner" script. I've watched some tutorials as well but still lost at where to start. Might ya have an area where I could start?

My tic tac toe game works and the restart button works (I got way too excited when the button worked) but I want the game to be able to keep score

[fiery mulch]

hey, having a small conceptual issue with physics. im using a basic rigidbody capsule 3d for my character with a capsule collider and some basic box colliders as platforms.

when moving along a flat platform, works perfect as intended. when moving along an inclining or declining platform, our speed collides against the object and creates some y velocity which then pops our character up. does rigidbody just do this naturally? and are there some settings i can use to turn this off?

[strong condor]

Ah~! Thank you. I knew it was most likely me just making copies of variables and changing them lol

I think I will use an enum going forward for this instead of flags

thanks so much. it works as expected when actually passing around the reference

Anyone?

[timber tide]

where the debug log at

[gaunt ice]

where you call it?

[bright zodiac]

enum with flags

    [Flags]
    public enum States
    {
        A = 1,
        B = 1 << 1,
        C = 1 << 2
    }

To set the flag you can just do this : muEnum |= States.A; then later on check for the flags

also, thats alot of bools you got there 😄

[timber tide]

but do you is the question

first instinct is to log stuff not working and just make sure it's being set and you've nothing setting it incorrectly.

because you want to first make sure it's not your logic that's wrong, but a problem with unity

[quartz mural]

what do the 3 dots mean again

[timber tide]

right click on it

usually a suggestion

[quartz mural]

nope

no suggestions

what does it mean?

some of the other functions haev it as well

[timber tide]

My guess is it's suggesting some naming convention, otherwise maybe the null-check operator is unnecessary

[quartz mural]

👍

[unique kestrel]

is this the right place to ask for insight on a UI/scripting problem I'm stuck on?

and if not can someone direct me to the right channel?

I'm looking for someone who understands the UI elements better than I do (specifically the coordinates systems)

right, but some servers will ban you for posting in the wrong channel

[rich adder]

without details can't even suggest channel

[unique kestrel]

Fair enough.

I have a GameObject that is in a GridLayoutGroup. I want to, when you hover over its container object, to create a duplicate of that object on a separate canvas(so that I can move it's position despite the GridLayoutGroup). I'm using Vector3.Lerp to move it's position every frame. The problem I have is that it's not actually moving.

this is on a script attached to the container obj

[rich adder]

the log is running ? btw if you're getting RectTransform might want to move AnchorPos
