Start?

[wraith valley]

How?

[polar acorn]

GetComponent is very slow. Do it once and reuse the same renderer

[rocky canyon]

it means not calling GetComponent every single frame.. (which is expensive) u should make a variable and call that getcomponenet in start or awake

[polar acorn]

Either set the entire position at once, or store it in a variable, modify it, and put it back

[rocky canyon]

then u can use the variable

[wraith valley]

There https://learn.unity.com/tutorial/conventions-and-syntax?uv=2019.3&courseId=5c61706dedbc2a324a9b022d&projectId=5c8920b4edbc2a113b6bc26a#5c8a30ccedbc2a007331fea9

[rocky canyon]

transform.position = new Vector3(transform.position.x, 5f, transform.position.z); -- how u reckon this would do for ur situation?

[flint falcon]

Awake is where I put them

[wraith valley]

But it`s only for test

[polar acorn]

I don't know why you sent me this

[wraith valley]

Unity learn

[rocky canyon]

well thats fine then.. but even for tests u should use good code..

[wraith valley]

Thanks

[rocky canyon]

to get into good habits

[polar acorn]

All the more reason to cache it so you cut your code in like, a quarter. Why spend so much time retyping stuff for temporary code

[polar acorn]

And I don't know why you've sent me this

[fair steeple]

Still not printing

[polar acorn]

Are you getting any errors anywhere? Even in unrelated code?

[fair steeple]

Nope

I have two PlayerInput components now, can that be a problem?

[wintry quarry]

yes

[swift crag]

yup!

[wintry quarry]

that's a problem

[swift crag]

i discovered this during a game jam

[wintry quarry]

one per human being

[swift crag]

it took me way too long to work that out

[wintry quarry]

(or really one per set of input devices)

PlayerInput is really designed for local multiplayer

[rocky canyon]

ahh my thoughts go out to you 😬 loll

[swift crag]

the name is quite literal (:

[rocky canyon]

game jams be brutal sometimes

[swift crag]

I use a PlayerInput component so that I can easily access the correct InputUser, but I get all of my input through InputActionReference

[fair steeple]

Still not working 🙃

[swift crag]

I did used to have a big "input manager" that received messages from the PlayerInput component and called other methods

[wintry quarry]

show your setup now

how many PlayerInput components are there

[fair steeple]

Once component

[wraith valley]

How is that? That`s changing y,z

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

public class NewBehaviourScript : MonoBehaviour
{
    // Start is called before the first frame update
    void Start()
    {
        
    }

    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update()
    {
        if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.E)) GetComponent<Renderer>().material.color = Color.black;
        if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Space)) GetComponent<Renderer>().material.color = Color.white;
        if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Tab)) GetComponent<Renderer>().material.color = Color.green; Debug.Log(transform.position);

        if (transform.position.y < 5) Debug.Log(transform.position);
       
        if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.O))
        {

            transform.position = new Vector3(transform.position.x, 5, transform.position.y);
        }
        
        if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.L))
        {
            transform.position = new Vector3(transform.position.x, 0, transform.position.y);
        }
    }
}

[wintry quarry]

you're putting the y into the z part

transform.position = new Vector3(transform.position.x, 5, transform.position.y);

[wraith valley]

Thanks

Lol

My cube teleported to -6.54

[rocky canyon]

is it a child of anything?

[wraith valley]

He was at 0

[rocky canyon]

is the parent at -6?

[dreamy urchin]

guys it is even possible to set animations for a prefab because it doesn't let me do it

[wraith valley]

No

Just cube

[rocky canyon]

thats a global position.

no idea, show ur hierachy of the cube

[swift crag]

double check that you have no other player input components by searching the hierarchy for t:playerinput

[wraith valley]

Only cube

Maybe bug

[rocky canyon]

bugs are usually man-made

[fair steeple]

Just the one

[wraith valley]

It's normal, probably a bug

[flint falcon]

how would I set this up properly if (Input.mousePosition <= transform.position)

[wraith valley]

I don`t know

That`s work

[rocky canyon]

probably gonna need to convert ur mouse position to world space

[dreamy urchin]

I tried to add animations to my prefab and said it won't play, why?

[swift crag]

also, is your project actually set to use the new input system? It should have prompted you to switch this when installing the package

[flint falcon]

so it would need to be in update

[rocky canyon]

ya ofc.. u want to be checking ur mousePosition every frame

[swift crag]

it's "Active Input Handling" in the project's Player settings

[fair steeple]

It was set to both

I'm restarting now

Let's see

[swift crag]

Both is fine.

[rocky canyon]

Both for the win!

imo it should default to both

[swift crag]

The next thing I'd do is to use the Input Debugger window

[dreamy urchin]

could someone please answer me

[swift crag]

it's in the Analysis category.

[swift crag]

well, is the animator controller valid?

the Animator component should have a controller assigned to it

[fair steeple]

Alright, I'll see that

[swift crag]

it shouldn't say "None" or "Missing"

[rocky canyon]

id delete and remake the animator

[swift crag]

I am elbow-deep in a rewrite right now and I can't run my game to show you what it should look like

[rocky canyon]

seems broken

[swift crag]

When the game is running, the input debugger should be able to show you the currently-enabled action maps and actions

[flint falcon]

@rocky canyon i believe I did it but still have the error CS0019 Operator '<=' cannot be applied to operands of type 'Vector3' and 'Vector3'

[rocky canyon]

ya u cant compare vector3s like that

[dreamy urchin]

it's just entry -> animation

[rocky canyon]

it would be Vector3.x y or z

[swift crag]

okay, but is the animator controller assigned to the Animator component?

[rocky canyon]

u should be comparing 1 of hte properties of the vector

[dreamy urchin]

I did it tons of time but still not working

[swift crag]

the animator controller is an asset

the Animator is a component that references an Animator Controller

[dreamy urchin]

yep

[rocky canyon]

Worker[0] errors ususally go away wiht a restart.. but ive never seen one prefixed to an animator error like that so idk

[flint falcon]

hmm well it got rid of errors but isnt giving me the result i need

[rocky canyon]

theres no clips inside that animator

[fair steeple]

Apparently it's working

[rocky canyon]

open ur animator and drag ur clip into it and set it to be the default clip..

[swift crag]

This part shows that you're actually getting data from the keyboard

here, gimme two minutes and i can show you what to look for

[swift crag]

Okay, so that means that those actions are enabled

they'd say (Disabled) if they weren't

But there should be a list of bindings for each action, like this

[dreamy urchin]

it's written that there are no clips but what are these? idrk why it says no clips

[swift crag]

I see that you are using control schemes -- you have one called "Keyboard" selected

(top left corner of the input action asset editor)

[rocky canyon]

thtas not the animator..

[swift crag]

The debugger does say that you're using a Keyboard control scheme

...but it has no devices!

bingo

[rocky canyon]

go to window > Animator and then click ur Attack

[swift crag]

You created a control scheme with no input devices in it.

[fair steeple]

Aha

Thanks

[swift crag]

that'll do it (:

[dreamy urchin]

you can see it behind, btw is set to default

[rocky canyon]

ahh okay.. then im out of ideas..

[fair steeple]

Thank you for the help

[dreamy urchin]

anyone that has some other ideas

[rocky canyon]

maybe ur animation needs a rig set to Humanoid or something

[dreamy urchin]

np, ty anyway

[flint falcon]

ok so I have a movement set up with W accelerate and the direction is the mouseposition, but anytime the player gets to the mouse position it shakes back and forth. I am an idiot who cannot come up with a solution

[rocky canyon]

or Default* if its not a humanoid

Generic* i mean

im just guessing at this point.. maybe you'd have better luck in #🏃┃animation channel

[dreamy urchin]

@rocky canyon it was just a stupid Unity bug, when I try it it actually works, can't stand the amount of bugs it has

[rocky canyon]

(╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻

lol.. glad it was just that..

[austere hedge]

I have a button that I'm trying to change the "Fade Duration" of via script. I figured out how to access the property, but I'm not sure how to set it.

[rocky canyon]

liek i said earlier Worker0 normally means u can ignore it

[dreamy urchin]

yep, thanks man, have a great day

[dreamy urchin]

yeah I had to listen to you earlier

[swift elbow]

where did you get .colors from?

[rocky canyon]

ya, its not .colors.fadeDuration

[austere hedge]

I got it from this post:

https://discussions.unity.com/t/ui-button-fade-duration/241093

[swift elbow]

.colors and .fadeDuration are completely different lines and vars

[rocky canyon]

https://docs.unity3d.com/2018.2/Documentation/ScriptReference/UI.Selectable.html
heres the class

[rocky canyon]

ColorBlock eh?

https://docs.unity3d.com/2018.2/Documentation/ScriptReference/UI.ColorBlock.html

[austere hedge]

Is this right?

[rocky canyon]

neet

[rough valley]

Why are the SerializeField fields not displayed?

[swift elbow]

compiler errors

[near wadi]

or forgot to compile

[swift elbow]

you dont need colors at all

[swift elbow]

color block and button are completely different

[swift crag]

Yes, but the point is that ColorBlock stores the data that was being asked about

[rocky canyon]

yea but u need to access the ColorBlock to access the fadeDuration

[swift crag]

it stores the fade duration

[swift elbow]

oh mb

[rough valley]

What is that? Sry I just started coding

[polar acorn]

Do you have any compile errors and does the file name match the class name

[swift elbow]

if your script has errors, it wont show variables in the editor until they are fixed

[summer stump]

An error with the way the code is written. It happens before the program runs.
Writing this is two compiler errors

void Start() {
  public int myInt
}

[rocky canyon]

ur compiler gets stuck @ the error.. and doesn't compile anything more

[near wadi]

https://learn.unity.com/pathway/junior-programmer

[rocky canyon]

build it out and send them the files

[swift elbow]

itch is free

[rocky canyon]

^ and can use a password

[swift crag]

Itch also lets you send a secret URL to a project

I didn't realize that for a while, so I was making it restricted and then putting a password on it

[austere hedge]

Is this right then? I don't notice the fade duration changing on my button, so I need to know if this code is right or not to further troubleshoot this.

[swift crag]

ColorBlock is a struct.

You must reassign it to the button after modifying it.

[rocky canyon]

like the original example

[austere hedge]

Okay so I think I just need to add

button.colors = cblock;

Yep, that's it. Thanks!

[flint falcon]

i give up for the day

[dreamy urchin]

how do I assign a sorting layer to an object?

[rocky canyon]

There's also a Sorting Group Component I think that u can add to ur components.. but thats new to me.

[marble cipher]

I tried to write the code shown in the screenshot, how do I get the parentheses through the void? if so, why is there void movement with me not, can someone explain that (C#)

[wintry quarry]

It's called a "method" or "function". Not a void

[swift crag]

void Movement()
{
  ...
}

This declares a method named Movement. The return type of the method is void, so it does not return anything atlal.

I do not know what "get the parentheses" or "why is there void movement with me not" means

[dreamy urchin]

thanks

[marble cipher]

I thought the problem was with the () but through your explanation I understood it now thank you

[rocky canyon]

Movement(); is just how u call the function

unity moody today

[marble cipher]

thanks

[rocky canyon]

no worries

[ionic zephyr]

@modest dust using UnityEngine;

[System.Serializable]
public class EffectWrapper
{
public EffectType effectType;
public IEffect effect;

public EffectWrapper(EffectType type, IEffect effect)
{
    this.effectType = type;
    this.effect = effect;
}

} is this correct?

[ionic zephyr]

I dont know how to implement what you told me sorry , it is really advanced

[tropic marten]

quick question, what would be the most obvious reason why my gun recoil doesn't work on my player when aiming left and right, but if aiming down at their feet, the recoil pushes the player into the air?

[modest dust]

Yeah, now it just lacks instantiating different effects

[eternal needle]

Because you've coded it that way. It not pushing you left or right might just be due to friction, but without seeing your setup we cannot see. Maybe you arent allowing horizontal movement

[modest dust]

Look at ISerializationCallbackReceiver and the OnBeforeSerialize method

[tropic marten]

sorry, i should have said it doesnt work in the air either

[modest dust]

based on the selected effectType, set the effect accordingly

[ionic zephyr]

https://paste.ofcode.org/K6XAKnyXMUqCpqHcmeCbtE

[ionic zephyr]

this is all that I have

[modest dust]

Lemme check my own EffectWrapper code

[ionic zephyr]

the only thing is that I dont know what is the overall result

why an scriptable object?

[modest dust]

So that you can drag and drop it

If you don't want it then place EffectWrappers directly on the character

[ionic zephyr]

But what is the EffectWrapper exactly?

Sorry bro Im really lost with all this

[modest dust]

EffectWrapper is for instantiating a correct class implementing the IEffect interface, based on the enum selected

[ionic zephyr]

but why do I need the enum?

[modest dust]

To know which class to instantiate

If you want a projectile ability, you select EffectType.Projectile and it will instantiate ProjectileEffect

With any fields you might want to fill in

(I think you may need a custom property drawer for that though)

[ionic zephyr]

my god

[swift crag]

i feel like this is going to be way too complicated for a novice to figure out

[ionic zephyr]

yes, I think so as well

My mind is exploding right now

I am very thankfull anyway

[swift crag]

creating a system that can express a huge variety of abilities through configuration (instead of just writing custom code for each ability) is a difficult task

[polar acorn]

Attempting to solve that problem killed my first Unity project stone dead

Just straight up gave up because I couldn't figure it out

[swift crag]

i've also ultra-killed at least one project that way

[modest dust]

Basically something similar to this would be the result (the difference being only one effect instead of an array)

[swift crag]

a real bugbear is when you get to things that aren't just instantaneous effects

like playing an animation and then doing something in response to events in the animation

[ionic zephyr]

Its really frustrating because I need this to have progress

[swift crag]

this kind of thing is much more straightforward

[ionic zephyr]

I think Ill try to simplify it to things I do controll

[swift crag]

perhaps we're not on the same page w.r.t. what these abilities will actually do

[polar acorn]

The reason it seems hard is because it's hard. Customizable abilities like this are very far from beginner concepts

[ionic zephyr]

thanks anyway bro

[modest dust]

An ability, such as an attack, shooting a projectile, etc

A coroutine can be attached if needed / callbacks passed to do things when an animation ends / events trigger

[ionic zephyr]

I can give you a super detailed definition if you want

but I think Im going to overload you and you´ve already done a lot for this case

[autumn meteor]

hi, can you tell me why this is happening?

[wintry quarry]

not without seeing your code.

[wintry quarry]

why bare you setting angular velocity and also manually rotating the transform?

[stone pilot]

why when i die then respawn and dash this happens (it dashes me backward opposites the way am moving)
player movement code https://codeshare.io/ApKxyw
player death code https://codeshare.io/MkjxJe

[frigid sequoia]

I kinda have a weird question, how does friction work with NavMesh?

[stuck palm]

Why does it work for the up and down but not left and right?

void UpdateMoveInput()
    {
        movementVector = pic.moveVector;
        currentMoveState = movementVector.x switch
        {
            1 => MoveState.Left,
            -1 => MoveState.Right,
            _ => MoveState.None
        };
        currentMoveState = movementVector.y switch
        {
            1 => MoveState.Up,
            -1 => MoveState.Down,
            _ => MoveState.None
        };
    }

[autumn meteor]

uh, I don't know, I'm a newbie

[polar acorn]

So then why did you write it like that

[frigid sequoia]

Cause my NavMeshAgents are just snaping to the NavMesh, but there is nothing actually touching there, so I think friction is just not doing anything....

[frigid sequoia]

Can that be?

[wintry quarry]

because you're competely overwriting the variable on the very next line.

[modest dust]

Anyways, I myself only worked on my own effects system just a few days ago and it was my first time doing anything like this, so it's pretty new to me too. The things I propose might not be enough to handle everything you might want to do - simply because I didn't yet implement it myself so I wouldn't know what would need to be changed or added to support it.. but it's a start, you can expand on what I said or research online / ask others, or simply take a pencil and a piece of paper and plan it out, see what you actually need and how you could implement it

[polar acorn]

Because your Y switch is going to set currentMoveState to either Up, Down, or None

[stuck palm]

ohhhhhhhhhhh

how can i avoid that then?

[ionic zephyr]

Thanks a lot

[polar acorn]

Don't overwrite currentMoveState

[wintry quarry]

Evaluate the direction as a whole

[autumn meteor]

I don’t understand, I tried to register the movement of the tank

[polar acorn]

So why are you setting angular velocity and also manually setting the transform's rotation?

[autumn meteor]

I don't know I did it as it turned out)

[indigo wagon]

does everything have to inherit from monobehaviour or can it be removed on some codes?

[polar acorn]

Depends on if you want it to be a MonoBehaviour

[indigo wagon]

could you explain what a mono behaviour is

I'm clueless

[polar acorn]

A script that can be attached to a GameObject and receives messages from Unity

[hushed hinge]

oh, a part of code add in?

[indigo wagon]

ok so if it isn't attached to a game object then it isn't necessary

[polar acorn]

Yes

[indigo wagon]

ok awesome then

thank you

[swift crag]

NavMeshAgents don't care about physics. They just smoothly move around on a nav mesh.

but there is nothing actually touching there

Colliders don't matter, and visuals definitely don't matter

[autumn meteor]

that's exactly where I made a mistake, this is the code for the section that I wrote when I first started studying unity, thanks)

[flint falcon]

@rich adder how do I make it work

[frigid sequoia]

So to explain this more clearly. I want the enemies to use NavMesh to track the player. But I want the player to be able to push them back. Right now, since there is no friction, they just keep the force push momentum like for a veeeery long time. How can I go about this?

[swift crag]

how are you pushing the enemies around?

[frigid sequoia]

Just applying Force on Impulse mode

Should I try with some kind of transform?

[swift crag]

So you've turned off updatePosition on the agent, and you're using a Rigidbody to move the enemy around?

[frigid sequoia]

No, I just keep the agent running, and they just happen to have rb that can be pushed

Like, they don't seem to be interfearing much with each other

[swift crag]

i'm surprised that works at all without some extra legwork

I use a CharacterController to move my entities around. I have a NavMeshAgent with updatePosition set to false so that the agent isn't allowed to actually move the entity.

I recreated your setup and the object is, indeed, sliding away

[frigid sequoia]

So... you are just using the NavMesh to calculate the path but not moving at all? What do you mean by a CharacterController?

[swift crag]

a literal CharacterController component

I ask the agent what its desired velocity is and use that to determine which way to go

[swift crag]

Adding drag to the rigidbody fixes that.

[frigid sequoia]

Mmmmm... yes, it kinda does, it still does slide more than I would like... but it is much better

[swift crag]

the behavior with both an agent and a rigidbody is very weird. whilst the agent is moving, it mostly ignores me pushing a cube into it (other than getting moved so that it's not overlapping the cube)

but then sometimes it slides

[honest vault]

hello im using pun 2 framework for multiplayer however the player gets destroyed after like 4secs

[swift crag]

turning on interpolation on the rigidbody makes it stutter constantly

presumably since the rigidbody is forcibly setting the position every frame now

[wintry quarry]

What debugging steps have you taken?

[honest vault]

none

[wintry quarry]

Start with the usual ones.

Debug.Log in OnDestroy would be a good start

[honest vault]

any reference?

[wintry quarry]

Or if you have code that kills the player

or destroys it

[honest vault]

Yeah but where should i put

[wintry quarry]

Debug.Log there

[honest vault]

only enemy and i turned off enemyspawner

[wintry quarry]

put a log on the player death function anyway

[honest vault]

i tried commenting it

same thing happened

[wintry quarry]

don't comment it

[honest vault]

ok

[wintry quarry]

I don't know your code at all

so it's hard to say where

add logs to all the places in your code that destroy anything

[honest vault]

alright lemme see

[wintry quarry]

showing the inspector of your player object would also be a good start

maybe it has a particle system or something for example?

[tropic marten]

i can't get my recoil to apply to my player horizontal direction, only in the y direction.
I think i know what line is causing it, but not sure how to correct it?

here's the recoil script:

Vector2 recoilForce = -aimDirection.normalized * recoilStrength;
playerRb.velocity += recoilForce;

and here's the movement script stripped down which i think is blocking it:

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

[honest vault]

no i didnt move into particle system yet im trying to get multiplayer working first

[wintry quarry]

because your code is setting the horizontal velocity every frame

[tropic marten]

do i need Time.Deltatime?

[wintry quarry]

horizontal * speed
This is going to be your horizontal velocity

[wintry quarry]

what? No. You're just guessing.

[tropic marten]

i was 🙂

[wintry quarry]

Think instead of guessing

Look at your code

[ivory bobcat]

Just a reminder that the solution was given #💻┃code-beginner message

[rich adder]

how to make what work? You aren't replying to past responses, I have no idea what we were talking about..

[flint falcon]

Lol sorry I must have missed them

On mobile have to pull up the code again but basically stopping the ship from jiggling back and forth when it gets to the cursor

[ivory bobcat]

Was he helping you prior?

[tropic marten]

taken a long look at it and not sure how to correct it

the only was i can see if by doing an if statement bool when recoil is applied

but i'm sure thats not the right way about it

[wintry quarry]

do you understand the issue first?

before we talk about solutions.

[tropic marten]

yes, the update takes priority

meaning its always writing the horizontal

[wintry quarry]

right so you'll need to either do something like use forces to slowly achieve the desired velocity, or disable the normal movement for a time after recoil

something along those lines

[rich adder]

yes did you fix the normalizing first. Next I would just do a simple distance check to mouse worldPos using Vector3.Distance

[tropic marten]

i successfully disabled the normal movement using a bool and Ienumerator, but feel this isn't the right way about it?

[flint falcon]

Yes normalize is fixed

[wintry quarry]

Wdym by "right way"? It all depends on how you want the game to work

[tropic marten]

it felt like it stopped allowing the player to control the movement for a splitsecond, especially with a rapid fire weapon

[wintry quarry]

yes of course

that's what doing that would do, naturally

[honest vault]

i have tried debugging everything thaty i found sus but it just uses something else im assuming any other way to be able to fix this?

[wintry quarry]

so again you need to decide how you want it to work.

[tropic marten]

i tried using an Impulse force too, but that didn't work. Could you explain why?

same reason as before i assume?

[flint falcon]

And I will give that a shot

[wintry quarry]

you are trying things quickly without thinking about the problem first

[rich adder]

After you get the distance, if its too close don't let ship go forward etc.
If you want to do it where depends also if mouse behind ship or not, to see if can push forward or back
You can use vector3.dot

[flint falcon]

Thank you I'll give that a try in a bit

[minor patio]

so I have this method that I'm trying to use as a part of a skillset representation in a character creator I'm working on; the trouble is I'm referencing an object ('rep' - the character data) that is currently - you guessed it - null. I know why it's null (I haven't assigned the relevant field yet), but all the tricks I've tried to make it not-null wind up being booby-trapped on me. Kinda just thinking out loud...

        else if (pic.XPressed)
        {
            currentButtonState = ButtonState.X;
        }
        else if (pic.APressed)
        {
            currentButtonState = ButtonState.A;
        }
        else if (pic.YPressed)
        {
            currentButtonState = ButtonState.Y;
        }
        else
        {
            currentButtonState = ButtonState.None;
        }
    }
```t

This works fine enough

but if im pressing 2 buttons at the same time, it will just default to none

anyone know how i can fix this?

[wintry quarry]

Just write better logic

[stuck palm]

or if im pressing B and X, it will just default to B

[wintry quarry]

You aren't handling diagonals

[wintry quarry]

you also only have a single variable for button state

there's no way to disambiguate with that

[ivory bobcat]

It should default to the second?

[wintry quarry]

nah it's an else if

[polar acorn]

This honestly seems like you're trying really really hard to basically just do a callback-based input system that's already provided by the Input System

[stuck palm]

sorry i meant for the movement, if its diagonal it defaults to none

[wintry quarry]

because diagonal is not any of the vectors you're specifically checking for

[stuck palm]

by all means if there is an easier way i'll use it, but i just wanted to avoid linking the character to the player input directly

[wintry quarry]

why are you complicating this so much 🤔

why not just directly pass e.g. movementVector to the code that controls the player

you're inserting this extra processing layer

[ivory bobcat]

What is movementVector? What is up? Are they Vector3s?

[polar acorn]

https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.inputsystem@1.0/manual/Actions.html
You can subscribe to button events on whatever you like, which runs custom functions whenever an input value changes

[stuck palm]

they are vectors that i have defined in the fields

okay i think i know how i want to handle this

i want it so its like, if its diagonal, , it only does the last button pressed

[meager raptor]

blue arrow is what's supposed to happen where unit follows marker when spawned, red arrow is what's actually happening

unit spawns outside like it should, but then it just goes towards the building that's supposed to collide, unit is not selectable either because i'll select the building instead if i tried to select unit

does anyone know why this is the case? code is provided here and the spawn marker design

we need more than this

no idea what "MoveUnit" does for example

[meager raptor]

public void MoveUnit(Vector3 destination) {
    // Set the destination for the NavMeshAgent to move towards
    if (navAgent == null){
        navAgent = GetComponent<NavMeshAgent>();
        navAgent.SetDestination(destination);
    }
    else {
        navAgent.SetDestination(destination);
    }
}```

[wintry quarry]

I mean it sounds pretty obviouisly like the destination you're setting is wrong

so you should log that, and log which object you're using as the destination

make sure it matches your expectations

[meager raptor]

okay one sec

might've done it wrong, is this what you mean?

ill show some more info

[wintry quarry]

and log which object you're using as the destination

and then.. you know

does this match what you expect?

[wintry quarry]

does this match what you expect?

[meager raptor]

im just grabbing the images

[wintry quarry]

this is looking at a prefab

[meager raptor]

ye it matches

yeah

[wintry quarry]

are you sure you're not referencing SpawnMarker from the prefab?

You need to reference the one in the scene presumably

[meager raptor]

like this yeah i've assigned it here

[wintry quarry]

you have a lot of prefab overrides here

[meager raptor]

that bad?

[wintry quarry]

It's indicative of disorganization if nothing else

so I'm not that confident all your references are pointing the right place

anyway... Debug.DrawLine would be helpful for example

to establish it's aiming at the right place

[meager raptor]

do i need to do that surely this is simple fix no?

[wintry quarry]

It's probably a simple fix but only once we know what's going on

so for now we debug

debugging tells us how to fix it

[meager raptor]

problem is the unit isn't following the spawn point when i set it but travels towards the original position when i dont move it, even when i set the pointer at a location it travels to the original position

^ just wanted to say that if that gives a better idea

[wintry quarry]

Your code is telling it to do that

we just need to figure out why and where

[meager raptor]

will the entire code be useful here

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

here's other one not as long

[native seal]

what is the best way to achieve something like this in rich text through code ?

[teal viper]

What do you see in the log? Does it set the undesired destination that you mentioned?

[meager raptor]

yeah here @teal viper i spawn multiple units at different points and it prints the same coordinates

[rocky canyon]

https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.textmeshpro@4.0/manual/RichTextAlignment.html

[native seal]

well i want two different allingmennts inn the same line, i dont see that in this documentation

[teal viper]

Share the stack trace of the messages.

[teal viper]

Share the SpawnObject code

[wintry quarry]

you still haven't confirmed if those coordinates are what you expect or not

[meager raptor]

here

[meager raptor]

they're not

[wintry quarry]

then you're simply referencing the wrong object

as I said before you're likely referencing the one from the prefab

not the one in the scene

[rocky canyon]

Successive alignment scopes don't stack. If you put multiple alignment tags on the same line, the last one overrides the others.
-per the docs , you'll probably have to use two different text elements

[meager raptor]

probably, ill have a look now

[meager raptor]

how do i fix this then

[wintry quarry]

reference the actual object you want to move to

[rocky canyon]

prefabReference = Instantiate(prefab..
Move(prefabReference);

[teal viper]

*prefabInstance would be a more correct naming.

[wintry quarry]

or spawnedPlayer

or whatever it actually is

[rocky canyon]

true true..

[wicked stratus]

so I'm working on a save system, and it'd be 1000000% easier, if, when a user makes a new file, there was a way to revert back to the values i set via the edit mode (i.e. say i have a script attatched to an object and the variable floatToChange = 1.0f, but later it's changed and saved as 6.132f and the user wants to make a new save file.) is there a way to do this?

[rocky canyon]

just track ur default values

have a Method that resets em

[wicked stratus]

I'm not sure if there's a nice way to do this

[rocky canyon]

its common practice for a settings menu for example

i use Scriptable Objects to hold all my data

[wicked stratus]

I have object objects to do this ig

[rocky canyon]

or a class called DefaultValues.. w/ just variables

ya, that works just as well

[wicked stratus]

I'm just concerned about writing every variable down manually since there are quite a few entries

[rocky canyon]

whenever i create a new savefile all my data is already there

[wicked stratus]

but i'll do like defaultDict = realDict in start and just copy paste the values in edit mode

i have the default for a lot of things- i just have a problem with items that have a ton of entries with unique values

[rocky canyon]

oh yea, ive never done anything that substantial. so i wuldnt know the workflow

lol this is as far as ive gotten on the Inventory save system 😢

[wicked stratus]

there are ways i could do it but if theres an easier approach id like to find that before wasting time

[rocky canyon]

i was going to assign an int to each item the player can possess and just read thru them at the beginning of the game and give the player those items..

[rocky canyon]

oh absolutely.. i feel ya

[fair steeple]

Hey, how do you do OnButtonUp with the new input system? it's surprisingly difficult to find any info on google

[rocky canyon]

https://forum.unity.com/threads/how-would-you-handle-a-getbuttondown-situaiton-with-the-new-input-system.627184/

the opposite of this..

[wintry quarry]

subscribe to the canceled event on the InputAction, or check WasReleasedThisFrame() on it

[rocky canyon]

the dropdown in Interactions would have a Button up

[rocky canyon]

thats alot easier than what i was thinking lol

oh nah it was the 3rd post in that thread.. myAction.cancelled

[fair steeple]

thanks

[placid vault]

Hey yall I need a little helo. I've got a character controller and it works okay but I find that I have to sometimes mash the spacebar button to get my character to move. Anyone know how I might fix this? If it's relevant I'm using 2021.3.15f1, it's an old project of mine but I don't want to bother updating it and risk breaking more stuff lol.

[wintry quarry]

you're reading input in FixedUpdate

input needs to be read in Update

[teal viper]

Checking input in fixed update would do that.

[placid vault]

Alright. Let me try to do that. Honestly I haven't touched this project in forever till recently...

[wintry quarry]

you're also mixing up transform.Translate and Rigidbody motion

that's a recipe for sadness

[placid vault]

That fixed it. Also not sure what you mean abouting mixing transform.Translate and rb motion. I probably got the original script from someone else on Google ages ago.

[stuck palm]

made a pretty good solution to my controller issue

just changed what was handling what and started using the player input actions instead of vectors

[wintry quarry]

it means you're using two different forms of movement that aren't compatible. It will lead to bugs.

[swift crag]

When you set the position of a transform, you're leaving the physics system in the dark

it will just discover that it's in a new position in the next physics update

(and if you have Interpolate turned on in the rigidbody's settings, it'll overwrite the position of the transform every frame, so your position gets lost)

[swift crag]

this can cause you to go through walls, since your position has just been suddenly changed without letting the physics system have any say about what happens

You can set Rigidbody.position to teleport a rigidbody or Rigidbody.MovePosition to immediately move it to a destination

(the latter can hit things along the way)

[forest depot]

Hi, I'm trying to make a 2D top down game and when doing collisions, I want to have the player "hug" the walls to give a sort of perspective, but I haven't found a way to get it to work. Right now, he stops far from the top wall, but I want to keep how far he is from the bottom wall. The walls are using a Tilemap Collider 2D and a Composite Collider 2D.

i can control the other build but not myself any fix?

using PUN 2

[toxic flax]

did you use view.isMine

[honest vault]

Yea

its normal when i load in by myself as soon as the other player loads in it switches

[toxic flax]

are these gameobjects already in the scene?

[honest vault]

yea i used this PhotonNetwork.Instantiate(playerPrefab.name, randomPosition,Quaternion.identity);

Place colliders only on the lower level of the sprite/tile. The one that touches the ground. For your character that would be the feet. For the wall, that would be the lower part of the wall that connects to the ground.

ok thanks

[timber tide]

I'd probably play with the idea of shaving the colliders of these walls back a bit

or shaving down the player's collider

could do a double player collider such that you've got one near the center of the character, but also one around the character if you're needing the extra detection for attacking, ect

Hey so I recently started learning about PCG and I was able to get a randomly generating map. But can someone point me in the direction of how to do procedural path generation? (I'm trying to create a path along the tiles of the map) Just a process or anything will be helpful thanks!

[stuck palm]

I got basic movement down not linked to physics by making my own psuedo physics calculation and putting it in a seperate class

[quartz mural]

why does this happen when i start the game?

[rich adder]

what is "this" ?

[quartz mural]

the blue screen

i think i messed up my camera somehow

idk how though

[summer stump]

That is normal

Show the camera

It is likely set to solid color or whatever it is called. Blue is the default for that

Also, this is not a code question

[charred heart]

Hi. I'm facing a problem. func() sometimes not even run but returns true.

// call in Update
public void Handle(Func<bool> func)
{
    bool done = func();
}

[wintry quarry]

You're ignoring the return value

Well you're storing it in a local variable that you don't do anything with

What makes you think it isn't running though?

[charred heart]

i put debug.log inside func() and it doesn't log anything

[wintry quarry]

Maybe Handle isn't even running

[summer stump]

The camera component is collapsed...

[charred heart]

it did run, i did put debug.log in handle too

[wintry quarry]

Show your real code then

[quartz mural]

how do i uncollapse ot

[wintry quarry]

Trust me it can't return anything if it's not running

[summer stump]

Click the little arrow next to the name...

[quartz mural]

mb

oh i see now

before it was the map

and ive connected it to player

all of a sudden its going to its default color?

[charred heart]

public void Handle(Func<bool> func)
{
    if (_doneFlag) return;
    _timer += Time.deltaTime;
    bool done = func();
    Debug.Log(done.ToString() + (transform.position - _destination).magnitude.ToString() + ((transform.position - _destination).magnitude < _stopDistance));
    if (done && (_behaviorPath.GetCurrentAction().ActionDuration() < _timer))
    {
        _doneFlag = true;
        _doneAction = true;
        _timer = 0f;
    }
}

public bool Move()
{
    if ((transform.position - _destination).magnitude < _stopDistance)
    {
        if(!_navMeshAgent.hasPath && _navMeshAgent.velocity.sqrMagnitude == 0f)
        {
            Debug.Log("Move true " + (transform.position - _destination).magnitude);
            return true;
        }
    }
    Debug.Log("Move false");
    return false;
} 

public override void FixedUpdateState()
{
    base.FixedUpdateState();
    _npcController.Handle(_npcController.Move);
    
}

[wintry quarry]

And...the rest? NPC controller.Move?

Is it the one right above?

What is the type of this script? What's the type of that NPC variable?

Not clear

[quartz mural]

@summer stump bro?

[charred heart]

Yes. it's the Move() method above, i copied that function from other class.

[wintry quarry]

How do you know?

It might not be

This isn't enough code to be sure

[rich adder]

you dont have skybox material

[charred heart]

Move() and Handle() method are implement at NPCController class

public class NPCMoveState : NPCMovementBaseState
{
    public NPCMoveState(MonoBehaviour entityController, Animator animator) : base(entityController, animator){}
    public override string StateName => "Move";

    public override void EnterState()
    {
        base.EnterState();
        _animator.CrossFade(LocomotionHash, 0.1f);
        _npcController.OnMove();
    }

    public override void FixedUpdateState()
    {
        base.FixedUpdateState();
        _npcController.Handle(_npcController.Move);
        
    }
} 

[wintry quarry]

This still doesn't tell us what _npcController is

[quartz mural]

...?

[charred heart]

It's a class inherits from monobehavior, i create it for NPC control

public class NPCController : MonoBehaviour
{
    [SerializeField] private BehaviorPathTransition _behaviorPath;

    [SerializeField] private bool _doneAction = true;
    private BaseStateMachine _movementStateMachine;
    private BaseStateMachine _actionStateMachine;
    private Animator _animator;
    ...
}

[wintry quarry]

In this Move function it is possible for it not to print anything

If it enters the first if statement but not the inner one

It is still running though

[charred heart]

The executed order is NPCcontroller Update -> Statemachine Update -> State Update -> Handle -> Move. I think ...

[wintry quarry]

Can you show your console window

To prove it "is not running"?

[quartz mural]

@rich adder sorry bro im not understanding it was fine before idk what i did

i mightve miss clicked smt a while ago

and idk what it is

can you just explain to me what to d

u sed smt abt skybox?

[rich adder]

no way of us knowing what its supposed to look like
also not really a code question.

[quartz mural]

cmon man plz

no one on other ones answer

until the next day

shall i just delete and get it tagin

nvm that didnt go well

[rich adder]

you haven't really explained whats wont with the blue

[quartz mural]

ok

so noramlly

the camera will show whats on the scene

[rich adder]

all i see is that camera has SKybox set but its blue, meaning Lighting tab has no skybox material assigne

[summer stump]

Sorry, putting my daughter to sleep. All I can say is that it says skybox 🤷‍♂️
Did it switch from 3d to 2d? I see it is orthographic

[quartz mural]

oh nw bro, 2d here

[summer stump]

Ohhhh

Too close to the map probably

[rich adder]

and which Z position is your bg

[summer stump]

Check z levels

[quartz mural]

i mightve miss clicked smt earliernot sure wat it is

z levels?

[rich adder]

the camera should prob be -10

right now is at 0 , thats prob wrong

[summer stump]

The z position of the transform of the object the camera is on

[quartz mural]

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES

THANKS MY BRO

[summer stump]

Cameras won't render things they are too close to

[quartz mural]

APPRECIATE U GUYS

[summer stump]

Next time ask in #💻┃unity-talk btw

hey i know this is a super beginner question but i'm trying my hand at a recreation of pong, how do i stop the paddle from continuing to float upwards after i've stopped pressing w? i have a screenshot of my code but i don't really know how to show you what the paddle is doing lol

[rich adder]

could set vel to 0 on key up

Could also just use GetAxis for Vertical and it gives you W/S or UpArrow/DownArrow with float value

what would I put in place of the Debug.Log("Success!"); in order to make the object transform its position to the object that the raycast hit?

[rich adder]

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

this is giving all the info you need from rayhit

[cosmic dagger]

just assign the object's position to the hit object's position . . .

[vale karma]

okay, i didnt think it was so difficult, fsr im getting tutorial hell syndrome from this lil road block

[cosmic dagger]

this task is not difficult. it's very simple and only one line of code . . .

you have to look at the information provided to you . . .

[vale karma]

yeeyee

[cosmic dagger]

if you have the object the raycast hit, then you have access to its position, therefore, you can assign the original object's position to that position . . .. . .

bro this has colliderinstanceID? so many things i could do with this, macadamia nuts, almonds, walnuts, acorns

try regen project files, if that doesnt work right click the solution inside Solution explorer window, and do Reload with Dependencies or watever is called

assuming the Unity Workload is already installed..

[fluid crane]

it was working everything just fine yesterday

[rich adder]

well the (i) icon next to it says there is problem

yesterday is not today lol

[fluid crane]

it worked doing Solve Errors

xD

omg 4 am looking for weird bugs eheh

[limpid wren]

Not entirely sure I understand how the CollisionMatrix affects the calling of OnTriggerEnter2D. Does it only work on OnCollisionEnter?

[vale karma]

im not using any colliders with ontrigger, just using it as a visual

[limpid wren]

Sorry, it wasn't related to your question

[hot harbor]

Is it impossible to subscribe to scriptableObject functions? I've been getting reference is not an instance of an object errors when I try to do this. I'm trying to hook up InputActions with one of my scriptableObject function that handles shooting

[vale karma]

im thinking my update function is still saying that grabpoint isnt null, so it moves it to the presumed grapoint location, and oo my bad 😮

[rocky canyon]

pastebin or https://paste.myst.rs/

[limpid wren]

I've set up my CollisionMatrix to have "pickups" affect only "pickupZones" and yet OnTriggerEnter2D gets called when anything touches it

[cosmic dagger]

providing the actual error message and the relevant code would be helpful . . .

[limpid wren]

That... does not make a lot of sense for me

[polar acorn]

It affects all physics queries, so it'd affect triggers too. Note that the Rigidbody is what receives the callback, even if the collider is on a child object

[rocky canyon]

nvm im wrong

it does ignore

i put the wrong layer on it

[limpid wren]

I exclusively have one object with PickUp and one object with PlayerPickupZone

[rocky canyon]

ya, only colliders w/ pickup should interact with playerpickupzone

[polar acorn]

In that case those objects and only those objects should be interacting

[rocky canyon]

something more is going on.. do you have the layers set up correctly on each object?

[wintry quarry]

Are you sure you set up 2D physics and not 3D physics layer matrix?

[limpid wren]

I was not aware there was a difference

[wintry quarry]

there is indeed

[cosmic dagger]

indeed there is . . .

[rocky canyon]

praet with teh clutch

[summer stump]

is indeed there

[limpid wren]

You are indeed correct

I had not set up the correct collision matrix, thanks!

[solid bough]

i have two scenes
my character has dontdestroyonload
but when he goes to the other scene, all the other objects in there (enemy, camera) and their scripts don't have the player set as their reference
how do i go about making it work?

[wintry quarry]

if your player isn't going to be in the scene you will need to resolve the reference to it at runtime, rather than drag & drop in the editor.

If there's only one player you can go with the singleton pattern - using a static reference field.

Another option of course is FindWithTag

[solid bough]

is there an alternate option? can i have another player in every scene and just copy the previous player stats throughout the scenes?

[wintry quarry]

Yes of course you could do that

there are many ways to solve the problem

[solid bough]

and which way is the cleanest/most optimal one? how do they do it in Hades where you move through rooms and your character stays the same across

[wintry quarry]

Doing that copying of stats will require similar referencing tricks though - you'd need something to track the stats across scenes

[wintry quarry]

There is no general answer here

every game is different

[solid bough]

well, if i were you and i were to do a very simple two rooms game with coins you gather through the rooms and want to keep the coin counter and some other arbitrary stats
which way would you personally do? 🥹

[thin hollow]

I have a line of coded i dont understand

int damageToTake = ignoreDefence ? damage : CalculateDamage(damage);

im not familiar with the colon and the questionmark

[cosmic dagger]

how do you write a piece of code that you don't understand? it's a ternary operator . . .

[thin hollow]

it was someones code i was looking at

[nimble apex]

me either

if(ignoreDefence){
     damageToTake = damage
}else{
     damageToTake = CalculateDamage(damage)
}```

[thin hollow]

ok so is that basically what its saying

[nimble apex]

<condition> ? if : else

[summer stump]

Keep in mind, ternary operators only work when assigning a value
value = condition ? if : else

[cosmic dagger]

i mentioned it is called a ternary operator. you can google the rest to find out . . .

[nimble apex]

i dont wish to see my projects or my teams project got infested by ternaries if tho lmao

its hard to figure them out if the ternaries got too long

[cosmic dagger]

there is no reason to nest ternaries. that would definitely be hard to read . . .

[nimble apex]

if(A == B) {
    doA();
}else{
    doB();
}```
im okay with this 
```cs
(A == B) ? doA(); : doB();```

[cosmic dagger]

this won't work bc ternary operators must assign a value . . .
#💻┃code-beginner message

[timber tide]

ternary stuff is ugly

[nimble apex]

sad

[cosmic dagger]

you can create an extension method to fix that . . .

[wintry quarry]

I was kinda curious - and this is the least ugly I could get "ternary with void methods"

void A() {}
void B() {}

void C() {
    Action x;
    (x = (true ? A : B))();
}```

[cosmic dagger]

yeah, that's what i did at first, haha . . .

now i use a boolean extension so it doesn't look too bad . . .

void A() { }
void B() { }

true.Ternary(A, B)();

public static Action Ternary(this bool b, Action @true, Action @false) => b ? @true : @false;

[wintry quarry]

why not just invoke them inside

then you don't need the extra ()

but yeah that's cute. I was just thinking a static non-extension too.

[cosmic dagger]

how so?

[wintry quarry]

public static void Ternary(this bool b, Action @true, Action @false) {
  if (b) @true();
  else @false();
}```

then it's just cs true.Ternary(A, B);

[cosmic dagger]

oh, i see, by removing the ternary and changing the return type to void . . .

[wintry quarry]

Oops I accidentally the void 😆

[cosmic dagger]

yeah, i returned an Action in case of assignment . . .

i guess it's not really needed . . .

[static bay]

It's not that bad when it's simple.

[ivory bobcat]

[hoary ice]

how do you do something like this? a list (elements) within a list (plain font, outline font, outline shadows font, shadows font)?

[languid spire]

I think you will find that is a List or Array of a plain C# serializable class or struct containing the variable definitions

[hoary ice]

i dont understand sir, can you give me an example?

[languid spire]

class A {
public Font aFont;
}

class B : MonoBehaviour {
public List<A> aFontList;
}

[eternal needle]

along with putting [Serializable] above class A

[long steppe]

not entirely sure where i'm supposed to post this, but every time i press play in the editor and press a button to move, the entire unity editor freezes and becomes unresponsive and i'm forced to close it in the task manager, are there any common reasons this happens?

[languid spire]

An infinite loop is the most common cause

[long steppe]

that seems to have been the problem, though i'm not really sure why my code caused one - i fixed it though, so thanks :)

[exotic hazel]

Hey guys.This code spawns 10 rocks on random coordinates in my terrain.I used sample terrain to get the y coordinate but the Y coordinate isnt coming correct.The first rock always spawn on y lvl 0 and then rest on random coordinates. could someone help me

i have this error since yesterday but couldnt get any reason

[languid spire]

Dont you think it might be a good idea to only use Ycoords AFTER you have calculated it?

[exotic hazel]

wdym

[languid spire]

read your code from top to bottom

[exotic hazel]

ok

oh

This is the same

without loop and it works

[astral falcon]

I bet your first ycoordinate is always 1?

[languid spire]

No it doesn't

code is executed from top to bottom, you cannot read a value before you have written it

[exotic hazel]

it works ive already tested it

lemme try it tho maybe i missed something there

[languid spire]

then your testing is faulty, that code as written does not work

[astral falcon]

To clarify, you create your SpawnPos before you calculate your Ycoordinate. In that case your first instance is always getting the "default" value of your Ycoordinate

Mornin' all. I think I'm having a bit of a spanner moment.

Really simple onTriggerEnter.

Script lives on an object that hits the 'SectionRemover' object and should get destroyed (yes, this will be pooled once it's working).

Weird thing is, the debug is being fired, but the object isn't getting destroyed.

Am I being an idiot? lol.

private void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other)
{
    if (other.gameObject.CompareTag("SectionRemover"))
    {
        Debug.Log("Collision");
        Destroy(gameObject);
    }
}

[timber tide]

It will be destroyed at the end of the next fixed update

[ruby python]

The object(s) never get destroyed though. 😕

[timber tide]

You sure you're not expecting the other.gameObject to be destroyed?

[ruby python]

https://streamable.com/p5mfjz

In the video, this script lives on the 'ground rocks' so when they hit the two objects that form the V Shape they need to be destroyed. As you can see, the debug gets triggered, but the objects remain. It's very odd.

[timber tide]

For the heck of it, try just disabling the gameobject

[ruby python]

Okeydoke. uno momento 🙂

[timber tide]

or print out the object being destroyed

[keen dew]

There's hundreds of those log messages. How do you know the logs for those rocks specifically are being printed?

[ruby python]

Aaah, I see what's going on. It's the LOD's, I have two of the objects that don't have LOD's set up yet, and they disable fine, it's the LOD'd one that aren't. Sokay I know how to fix that.

So yeah, was being an idiot. lol.

[ebon robin]

how to stop these clones from floodign the scene

[languid spire]

At a guess, instead of using SetActive(false) use Destroy

[ebon robin]

But Im Object Pooling

destroy takes a lot of resources

[languid spire]

in that case parent them to an empty game object

[ebon robin]

good idea

thanks ill try that

[smoky mauve]

why isn't my variable showing on the inspector?

unity doesnt serialize arrays of arrays

the workarround is to create a serializable struct containg your other array and make a list of that struct

How do you guys feel about || Russia || ?

[silk night]

Quite a weird topic for a unity server

[shrewd ruin]

Yes, I understand... By the way. Could you tell me what are the main differences between version 2023.2.15 and Unity 2022.3.22f1?

[languid spire]

there is no off topic on this server

[shrewd ruin]

I'm thinking whether it's worth switching to a new one

[languid spire]

do not use a non LTS version unless you really know what you are doing

[shrewd ruin]

Sorry

Guys, maybe someone has a good template for a Shooter ||unitypackage|| ?

[amber spruce]

Anyone?

[thorn holly]

Make a hash map or loop through the list

[silk night]

Look for LINQ first

[swift crag]

List<T> already has a FindIndex method.

[shrewd ruin]

Does anyone understand Photon?

[swift crag]

It takes a System.Predicate<T>, which is a function that takes a T and returns a bool

List<int> nums = new() { 1, 5, 3, 5, 7, 8, 0 };
int index = nums.FindIndex(x => x == 5);

another example

[silk night]

oh yeah i forgot first outputs the value, not the index 😄

[swift crag]

List<MyClass> things = new();
int winner = things.FindIndex(thing => thing.IsCorrect());

if you've never seen the => syntax used like this before, this is creating an anonymous function

it's a function with no name

you're probably used to seeing things like this

void Update() {
  // do stuff here
}

this is a method: a function with a name that's part of a class

Anonymous functions are useful for writing logic that you only use in one place

So both of these would work equally well

private bool Decider(int input) {
  return input == 5;
}

public int FindIndex() {
  return myList.FindIndex(Decider);
}

public int FindIndex2() {
  return myList.FindIndex(num => num == 5);
}

assuming that myList is a List<int>

anonymous functions can capture variables, too, which is useful

public int FindIndex3(int desired) {
  return myList.FindIndex(num => num == desired);
}

[thorn holly]

Well they said it’s a list of boxes (I assume GameObject) with variables attatched to them

So would it look like? ```cs
private bool Decider(MyClassName input) {
return input.variable == 5;
}

[swift crag]

Right.

[thorn holly]

This is new to me too so I’m curious

[swift crag]

the parameter should match the type the list contains

and then it should do some work and return a bool

[thorn holly]

Out of curiosity, how do you make a method that passes a function as an argument?

Like what’s the syntax for it?

[vapid tendon]

Suppose I have a button on the canvas, and some objects in the scene that respond to clicks.
How do I make it so that, even if a canvas button overlaps with some other object in the scene, when I click the canvas button, don't make the other object respond?

things I know and have tried:
I know how to use OnMouseDown etc to detect a click on a collider, I recently found out about OnPointerClick etc to detect a click on a UI element on the canvas, and when searching I sometimes see Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0) for generic click detection.
I tried to overlap a canvas element and a scene element, and when I clicked, both object's click events triggered. I don't know the order of operations here so I don't think I can set a flag in the canvas element that makes the scene element do nothing on click.

[timber tide]

there's usually a bool on most UI components that say like Raycast target, or Blocks Raycast (meaning it takes in raycasts hits)

oh but you're saying both are activating

I'd stick to a single method, preferably OnPointerClick interfaces and friends.

[vapid tendon]

Turning off "raycast target" makes the canvas object's click event go away, but still triggers the scene object's click event.

[amber spruce]

also im trying to make a list / array containing all gameobjects that have the playerstats script on them im not exactly sure if im doing it right here is what im trying

PlayerStats[] playerstats = PlayerStats.FindObjectsByType(PlayerStats, true, false);

is that a bad way to do it (i also know that has a error im looking at the documentation right now to fix that)

[timber tide]

Right, so OnMouseDown does a physics query, and IPointer uses the event system

[burnt vapor]

Generally using Find methods is bad

I guess in this case you want to collect the components for stats so I guess it makes sense to do this here

[swift crag]

The System.Action types cover functions that return void, and the System.Func types are for functions that return something

System.Func<int, bool> takes an int and returns a bool

They're called delegate types.

[thorn holly]

Hmm, interesting

[swift crag]

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/programming-guide/delegates/

[thorn holly]

So his would be System.Func<MyClass, bool>

[swift crag]

You can declare your own delegate types to get something with a name and with named parameters

public delegate bool MyPredicate(int input);

[timber tide]

Oh, IPointer does also use a physics query, but also the graphics raycast?

I never thought about tossing that on 3D objects

[stone pilot]

is there a way to adjust pixel perfect camera size without ruining the resolution ?

[vapid tendon]

For your information:

• My canvas object has an Image and a SimpleClickLogger (script).
• My scene object has a Sprite renderer, a Box collider 2D, and the same SimpleClickLogger script.
• The script contains both OnMouseDown and OnPointerClick.
  • The canvas object only fires the OnPointerClick, the scene object only fires the OnMouseDown.

[swift crag]

the reference resolution tells the camera roughly how many pixels you want to see on the screen

but the camera is only going to be able to snap to certain zoom levels

[potent echo]

Hello. I'm trying to make an enemy that moves along the exact route that the player took. Any ideas on how I could go about this?

[timber tide]

Well, one idea you can go with is checking if the Mouse is currently over the UI and preventing MouseDown event from executing (by returning early)

https://docs.unity3d.com/2018.1/Documentation/ScriptReference/EventSystems.EventSystem.IsPointerOverGameObject.html

[stone pilot]

what is the 16:9 resolutions i can use for the pixel perfect ?

[timber tide]

or vice versa

[vapid tendon]

Is that documentation available for Unity 2022? (Sometimes I google some docs, it gives me 2018 or 19, and when I switch to 2022, I can't find the relevant doc)

[timber tide]

I did try finding the most recent docs of it, but it's giving me a hard time.

[swift crag]

If you get sent to the home page when you try to switch to 2022, that probably means they renamed the page or merged it into something else

[timber tide]

It's not deprecated though

[vapid tendon]

2022 doesn't have a page for UnityEngine.EventSystems on the side bar ... somehow

[thorn holly]

Make a list of Vector2s that adds a player position every couple frames/every frame, then make the enemy move toward the first one, and then once it gets within a certain distance of the first vector, move on to the next one and repeat

[burnt vapor]

More efficient would be saving vector2 points, only if the direction changes substantially

[swift crag]

UI stuff got moved into a separate UI package.

https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.ugui@1.0/manual/index.html

This is a common annoyance. I'll get old documentation from when it used to be part of the "core" libraries

(I also prefer the old documentation's look to that of the package docs, tbh...)

[vapid tendon]

Thanks, I guess. Package docs are ... more annoying in my experience too (had more trouble finding how to change text in a TextMeshPro text component, had to resort to google and chatGPT)

[swift crag]

the TMPro documentation is..not great

[timber tide]

enjoy reading through the 300 methods without any comments

i'm trying to learn to do more complex TextMeshPro stuff without just copying code from examples and modifying it

[sullen grove]

Any good character controller script that Does not slide around on the floor

[swift crag]

a character controller does not "slide around" unless you tell it to

so, most scripts that use a CharacterController will already do this

[hidden sleet]

Currently trying to do an enemy LOS detection system, but I don't think I'm doing the raycast right since it can see right through the obstacles. ```cs
void Update()
{
Debug.DrawLine(transform.position, targetLocation.position);
detectionAngleRadians = detectionAngle * Mathf.Deg2Rad;
detectionAngleFloat = MathF.Cos(detectionAngleRadians);
targetVector = targetLocation.position - transform.position;
distanceToTarget = Vector3.Magnitude(targetVector);

        if ((Vector3.Dot(transform.forward, targetVector) > detectionAngleFloat && distanceToTarget < detectionRange) && entitySpotted == false)
        {
            Ray ray = new Ray(transform.position, targetLocation.position);
            
            if (Physics.Raycast(ray,out RaycastHit hit, distanceToTarget + 1F, obstructionMask))
            {            
                OnPlayerSpotted.Invoke();
                entitySpotted = true;
            }
            else
            {                    
             
            }
        }
        else if ((Vector3.Dot(transform.forward, targetVector) < detectionAngleFloat || distanceToTarget > detectionRange) && entitySpotted == true)
        {

            Ray ray = new Ray(transform.position, targetLocation.position);
            if (Physics.Raycast(ray, out RaycastHit hit, distanceToTarget + 1F, obstructionMask))
            {                    
                
            }
            else
            {                    
                Debug.Log("Player has vanished");
                OnPlayerVanished.Invoke();
                entitySpotted = false;
            }
        }
    }

swapping them over yields the same result. And I've definitely got the layermask set up in the inspector and on the walls

[wintry quarry]

You formed your ray improperly

Ray ray = new Ray(transform.position, targetLocation.position);```

A ray takes a position and a direction

you've given it two positions

[hidden sleet]

ah, I thought it was a start position and end position

gotcha

[wintry quarry]

If you want to cast between two points you can use Physics.Linecast
Linecast takes start and end positions

[queen adder]

why does my mouse shows error

[wintry quarry]

Have you read the error?

The error message will tell you what the problem is.

[queen adder]

unless that's the font there's a space between the Debug and log function

[wintry quarry]

there is a space there but it doesn't matter and isn't related to the error.

[queen adder]

then?

[wintry quarry]

read the error message

share it with us if you don't understand it

[wintry quarry]

none of this is you reading the error message

but clearly you're missing using UnityEngine.InputSystem;

your IDE should suggest this for you automatically

[hidden sleet]

there we go, that fixed it. Although now I need to figure out why it won't behave the same way in a different ai state, but I can figure that myself. Cheers

[queen adder]

oh ok

[stuck palm]

is there a way t o not use new Vector2's every time? this is normally called each frame, so idk if its very efficient.

public static Vector2 MoveX(Vector2 velocity, float inputDirection, float speed)
    {
        Vector2 moveDirection = new Vector2(inputDirection * speed, velocity.y);
        return moveDirection;
    }

[wintry quarry]

Creating a new V2 each frame is not a big deal or anything to worry about. But you can just do cs velocity.x = inputDirection * speed; return velocity;
this will actually indeed be slightly more efficient.

[queen adder]

Hey, so I'm trying to trigger a scene switch inside my game that would bring up an options scene and inside that scene use an attached script to resume the game, but I'm getting a runtime error where none of my inputs are reading in despite both scripts being properly attached. Do I need to instantiate a Scene object and check for its .BuildIndex inside Update() instead?

      //GameController.cs
        void Update() {
        if (Input.GetKeyDown("p"))
        {
            SceneManager.LoadScene(2); // Brings up option scene
        }
        }
     

        //OptionsBehavior.cs
        void Update() {
        if (Input.GetKeyDown("p"))
        {
            SceneManager.LoadScene(2); //Returns to game scene 
        }
        }
      

[sullen grove]

Dose anyone know why my Character controller script slides around

[wintry quarry]

Don't just say "a runtime error". Share the error message

[sullen grove]

That’s the character controller script

[queen adder]

that's the issue, there isn't any error message, simply doesn't work as intended (I think runtime was the wrong word to use lol)

[wintry quarry]

How do you expect it to work and what is happening instead?

Add Debug.Log to make sure your code is running when you expect it to run.

[queen adder]

yep did that to test and no output

[wintry quarry]

then your code isn't running at all

[queen adder]

switching from one scene to another when p is pressed and viceversa

You need the script to be attached to an active GameObject in the scene, and to itself be enabled. Then Update will run.

Also both of your scripts seem to load the same scene (scene 2)

[sullen grove]

Sorry I didn’t know

[stuck palm]

Oh okay, I didn't know you could return parameters of a method, thank you!

[wintry quarry]

they are the same as any other local variables declared in the method.

unless they are marked with ref out or in

[stuck palm]

I've learnt something new today 😊

[wintry quarry]

then there are special rules.

[stuck palm]

I've seen ref before,what does it do?

Like with overlap nonalloc or something

[wintry quarry]

ref passes a variable in by reference

instead of by value

[queen adder]

bit of a typo, but in the code 0->2 and 2->0 (double-checked). gamecontroller script is attached to a GameObject (the player) and the options script is attached to a canvas object so idek what's up

I can share the whole script if that would help

[wintry quarry]

SHow your code with the logs and show which objects they're attached to (in which scenes) and then show your console window when you run the game and press the button in each scene

yes the whole script would help.

Now i'm noticing that it ends up drawing a line from the centre of the world to the enemy instead of the enemy to the player, which is odd. it's drawing a line from the enemy to the hit point, so shouldn't that just point to the player? Don't know if i've just gone barmy and forgotten something. ```cs
void Update()
{
detectionAngleRadians = detectionAngle * Mathf.Deg2Rad;
detectionAngleFloat = MathF.Cos(detectionAngleRadians);
targetVector = targetLocation.position - transform.position;
distanceToTarget = Vector3.Magnitude(targetVector);

        if (distanceToTarget < detectionRange) //Target is within range
        {
            if (Vector3.Dot(transform.forward, targetVector) > detectionAngleFloat) //Target is within FOV
            {
                Ray ray = new Ray(transform.position, (targetLocation.position - transform.position).normalized);

                if (Physics.Raycast(ray, out RaycastHit hit, distanceToTarget + 1F, obstructionMask))
                {
                    //Hit object
                    Debug.DrawLine(transform.position, hit.point);
                    OnPlayerVanished.Invoke();
                    entitySpotted = false;
                }
                else
                {
                    //Hit target
                    Debug.DrawLine(transform.position, hit.point);
                    OnPlayerSpotted.Invoke();
                    entitySpotted = true;
                }
            }
            else //Target is outside of FOV
            {
                OnPlayerVanished.Invoke();
                entitySpotted = false;
            }
        }
        else //Target outside of range
        {
            OnPlayerVanished.Invoke();
            entitySpotted = false;
        }
    }

Ah, just noticed those errors

not sure why it's saying there's a null reference when each state appears to be using the detection system fine

[ivory bobcat]

You've got it collapsed so order isn't known

[queen adder]

Code to files: https://paste.ofcode.org/mLHCtp46nAfVdzG8DpNVXf
Objects it's attached to in screenshots (Player is in scene 0, options is in scene 2, and menu is in scene 1)
Ok, so it actually works in scene 2 and switches to scene 0 which is awesome. Wasn't sure on how to export logs so if you lmk I can send them too

[wintry quarry]

The two scripts you searched for are not the ones you shared code for

that would be Menu.cs and PlayerMovement.cs

[queen adder]

sorry, PlayerMovement.cs = GameController, I just gave it a different name 😅

I never shared something called Menu.cs though

[wintry quarry]

which is still not related to the searches

[wintry quarry]

Yes you did in this code

[queen adder]

💀 my bad

renamed

[wintry quarry]

This doesn't work 🤔

the filename needs to match the class name

[queen adder]

yep I changed the class name

[wintry quarry]

when are you doing all this

[wintry quarry]

you just shared a screenshot with them not matching

So if you just did it now go re-check that the scripts are attached properly and try again

[queen adder]

just did 👍

apologies for the confusion

you reckon the above component might be interfering with it @wintry quarry? there aren't any overlapping keybinds methinks

I'll disable and try

[wintry quarry]

Well if you are using the new input system your old input system code generally won't work

unless you have active input handling set to Both in project settings

have you shown your console window yet?

[queen adder]

I get this from the options scene but no output in-game from switching to the options scene, for the log how do I export it?

could always be a VS quirk, but I noticed that the highlighting for the function in the file where it's not working isn't on

oh. my. god.

[queen adder]

you were absolutely right. I had another file opened on VS called playercontroller from another project that I was editing this whole time, whereas the one that was being used was playermovement.

and now it works

ty for the help

[ornate lynx]

wtf is my error here?

[wintry quarry]

oof!

[timber tide]

your error is not posting the error

[summer stump]

Show the external tools menu

[wintry quarry]

Maybe this line that makes no sense?

OnInteactAction? Invoke(This, EventArgs.Empty);```

but yeah show error
