[whole idol]

ok i fixed that

still getting all these errors

[timber tide]

there should be a dot operator after the null check ?

[wintry quarry]

OnInteactAction also doesn't exist

[whole idol]

ok
TypeCache is unable to load attribute info on method Unity.QuickSearch.Providers.BoltProvider:CreateProvider (<unable to load signature>). Are you missing a reference?

[timber tide]

but your ide should be pointing it out if you have it configured like you should

[wintry quarry]

this is from the UnityQuickSearch package

not your code

update all your packages

and regenerate the library folder (by deleting it)

also restart Unity

[summer stump]

Click regenerate project files right there

[ornate lynx]

i clicked a thousand times

didn't do anything

[polar acorn]

Did you do it while VS was closed

[ornate lynx]

yeah

[whole idol]

done, how do i regenerate or delete the lib folder?

[summer stump]

You got the unity workload, right?

[ornate lynx]

i even clicked the repaire button in the visual studio installer in case that works

[ornate lynx]

workload?

wdym?

[summer stump]

It's one of the first parts of the guide you went though

It is part of installing vs

[ornate lynx]

ah yeah i did check the game dev with unity along with unity hub

[wintry quarry]

from windows explorer

[whole idol]

Now I only get 2 errors

[wintry quarry]

yep now that's just your code

line 20

[whole idol]

No need, errors got scared away

[summer stump]

Just to be clear, i mean this

[whole idol]

what is an identifier?

[ornate lynx]

yeah yeah yeah as i said

[summer stump]

Well what you said didn't make sense, so I wanted to make sure...

But alright. I dunno, sorry

[ornate lynx]

yeah sorry

[wintry quarry]

An identifier is a name for a variable or type or whatever

Most likely your line 20 is just completely off and weird

and the compiler doesn't know what to do

Especially if it still looks like this

[summer stump]

Ahhh, I see what you mean by "along with unity hub" now. My bad

[ornate lynx]

np np

soooo got any idea on how i can possibly fix this issue?

[ivory bobcat]

Maybe try regenerating project

[ornate lynx]

u mean recreate it?

ah no i did that a bunch of times

didn't do anything

[whole idol]

I decapitalzied the "T" though and still get the error

[ornate lynx]

shall i reinstall vs?

[grand sigil]

im having a bit of a problem. The script has a Start method which assigns a button component to the variable "button". I verified it that it actually gets the component but then when i use the variable. It says Null reference.
`public Button button;
private int desInt;
private void Start()
{
button = this.GetComponent<Button>();
}

public void AddListener(int index, SideBarManager insideBarManager)
{
    sideBarManager = insideBarManager;
    button.onClick.AddListener(this.SendWindowIndex);
    desInt = index;        
}

public void SendWindowIndex()
{
    sideBarManager.ActivateNewWindow(desInt);
}`

[stuck palm]

i want to make a debug object that points in the direction of a vector i gave it, but it seems to be pointing at the normal of the vector?

void Update()
    {
        transform.rotation = Quaternion.Lerp(transform.rotation, Quaternion.LookRotation(Vector3.forward, cc.moveVector), 0.5f) ;
    }```

[ivory bobcat]

Try Assets > Reimport All

[ornate lynx]

doing it

[grand sigil]

the script is attached to the gameobject with the button component

[wintry quarry]

that wasn't the only problem with this line

you're also using a delegate that doesn't exist (OnInteactAction)
And you're missing a . between the ? and the Invoke

[ivory bobcat]

Maybe the ide isn't configured?

[ornate lynx]

nothing changed

[ivory bobcat]

Did you reboot Visual Studio?

[ornate lynx]

yeah i opened the file from unity after it booted up again

[buoyant knot]

yes, the IDE should show Rigidbody2D in the same green color as a class

[ornate lynx]

monobehavior should be colored as well

[buoyant knot]

did you follow the !IDE guide?

didn't work :/

[ivory bobcat]

They've gone through a lot by the time I attempted to help, best lookup the recent posts

Their history isn't too long

[ornate lynx]

i updated unity, hub and repaired vs

nothing changed

[timber tide]

could always try vs code :)

[young warren]

where are you using the variable. which line says Null reference

[ornate lynx]

i like vs

i really like it

[buoyant knot]

this doesn’t look like a unity issue specifically, but that VS doesn’t acknowledge you are in C#

as opposed to VS not knowing you are in unity

[ornate lynx]

are there extensions i have to install or smth?

[buoyant knot]

are you on mac or windows?

[ornate lynx]

win

[buoyant knot]

this is so strange

[ornate lynx]

ik :/

[buoyant knot]

perhaps the C# discord can help

[ornate lynx]

maybe something in the directories is messed up?

[ornate lynx]

alr i'll check

[buoyant knot]

i remember having this issue a month ago, and I can’t remember wtf i did to resolve it

but it is something very simple

[ornate lynx]

hopefully

[buoyant knot]

so simple I don’t recall lol

if it was actually hard, i’d remember

[ornate lynx]

that's good to hear

[summer stump]

Inside VS, in the solution explorer, if you right click the project, there should be something like "rebuild from dependencies" or something like that. Try clicking it

[ornate lynx]

1 sec

u mean this?

[grand sigil]

line 'button.onClick.AddListener(this.SendWindowIndex);'

[buoyant knot]

yes

[young warren]

and where and when is AddListener called?

[buoyant knot]

i have never had to click that, because I’m pretty sure VS does that automatically sometimes via unity

it is possible it never went for you

[young warren]

the function that the line is in

[ornate lynx]

idk i'll give it try

let's hope it works 😄

[buoyant knot]

what do you have to lose? lol

[summer stump]

Yep, that is the one

[grand sigil]

Its in another script

[ornate lynx]

load failed

[summer stump]

Hmmm very odd

[young warren]

okay, show the script?

[buoyant knot]

that might explain it

which probably means you are missing a package

[ornate lynx]

yeah it's been showing (unloaded) already

[ornate lynx]

u gave me hope

[grand sigil]

whole script? or just the important part?

[young warren]

where you call AddListener

[ornate lynx]

what is it?

[buoyant knot]

it failing to reload is a good sign, because now we know what the problem is

[young warren]

where is this in

Start? Update? Awake?

[buoyant knot]

we don’t know exactly the fix, but it is narrowed down a lot

[ornate lynx]

i remember learning gamedev before and i remember adding packages, i just don't seem to remember what it is

[young warren]

okay, where is CreateDraw called?

I want to know if you call it before or after the Start function of your first script

[grand sigil]

The method it is in happens from a different working button

[buoyant knot]

does your project only have the one file in the solution?

[polar acorn]

How about just send the !code for both scripts so we can stop this game of telephone

[buoyant knot]

i misread it as a regular smiley mb

[rotund bronze]

how can this.skill.Activate called while this.skill i null? can anyone give me an explaination for this?

[ornate lynx]

the error says ".....\Assembly-CSharp.csproject.*.props" is not found

[buoyant knot]

oh shit

so do you know how assemblies work?

[ornate lynx]

what?

uhhh no

[ivory bobcat]

Were there any errors?

[ornate lynx]

might start learning abt them

[buoyant knot]

it’s like a group of code that all gets compiled together, with dependencies so compiler knows what blocks of code to compile to bring the whole project together

[polar acorn]

Okay, so CreateDraw is probably being called before Start. What calls CreateDraw?

[rotund bronze]

no, but its just wierd

[ornate lynx]

ok and that group of code that does this is missing?

[buoyant knot]

this is the default assembly for Unity projects. All the random files and shit you make without an explicit assembly go into the assembly of this name

meaning VisualStudio can’t find that assembly file that it needs to put together the unity project

[ivory bobcat]

Can you show the entire console window from Unity Editor (it would show the warning, error and log counts)?

[ornate lynx]

sooooo how is this fixable?

[buoyant knot]

it literally tells VS the list of all the files for your project

either 1) Unity fucked up and didn’t make the assembly file, 2) Unity did make it, but VS can’t find it

[ornate lynx]

soo how can i look for it

[polar acorn]

1. Are you hiding errors in your console?
2. Does skill have any sort of custom ToString?
3. (Wild shot in the dark) could it be that the skill is simply named null?

[ornate lynx]

in case it exists

[swift sedge]

VS should find it since game development with unity is installed

[ornate lynx]

or how can i know if unity made it in the first place

[astral falcon]

You can reset your External Tools inside the unity preferences window and see, if the correct IDE is set.

[buoyant knot]

i don’t recall where. I think there should be a bunch of .dlls or something

[ivory bobcat]

The third one was a great suggestion

[buoyant knot]

i don’t have the knowledge to fix this issue, but now we know exactly what it is

[rotund bronze]

@ivory bobcat @polar acorn found the reason, its because skill derived from mono and unity dont allow creating a new class inherited from it

[ornate lynx]

literally everyone says to regenerate project files

[polar acorn]

Yes, you should have gotten a warning on that in the console, always check those

[rotund bronze]

yeah mb thx

[swift sedge]

you could try cleaning the solution but that has a slim chance of working

[grand sigil]

A button where the script is attached to

[polar acorn]

One of these days someone's gonna do this and it's gonna leave us baffled for like a week

[buoyant knot]

he needs to know first if the issue is unity not making the assembly, or VS not finding it

that is an assembly that Unity is responsible for making.

[ivory bobcat]

Can you show an image of this?

[grand sigil]

I basically want to add a listener to a button i instantiated and give it a number

[ornate lynx]

i'm looking up the problem in google

[polar acorn]

Okay, so, you're instantiating a new button, then immediately calling AddListener on it. Start hasn't run yet. Either assign the button variable of CustomButton in the inspector, or put the GetComponent in awake

[grand sigil]

Like this. But the prefab has empty

[ornate lynx]

well u can barely see it in this image, now it's "load failed"

[grand sigil]

ic

[swift sedge]

Right click on the project and reload with dependencies

[ornate lynx]

load failed, i did that

[swift sedge]

So it's caboose

[grand sigil]

It worked. Thanks. But a new error poped. But ill try to fix this

[ornate lynx]

give me some hope 😂

[swift sedge]

Create a new project and copy the assets folder to it

[ornate lynx]

ok i'll just create a new project, create a script, see if anything get's colored

but w8

well uhh, i found the file itself in github, idk if that helps

[whole idol]

why cant i delete this file?

it says project still in use?

this is a project i wanna delete

i closed unity

all apps unity related

this is in the file exporter btw, i deleted it from unity hub library

[queen adder]

Sounds like something is still open using it, your IDE perhaps?

[whole idol]

oh yes

thats rtue

thank you

[polar acorn]

Check your task manager and make sure there's no remaining Unity or IDE processes open

[ornate lynx]

the thing is

i can see it

except the directory isn't the same

vs says i need to find it in the obj folder, while it is outside that folder

• it says the name of the file is Assembly-CSharp.csproj.*.props

all i can find in the "obj" folder is another "Debug" folder

[buoyant knot]

does this work with other unity projects?

[ornate lynx]

i'll create a new one and see

well NOW monobehavior is colored

yeah everything works fine

perfectly fine

but i still wanna fix my older project

[ivory bobcat]

Move your scene objects, assets and resources over.

[astral falcon]

Did you just try to backup and remove thewhole csproj files, let Unity try to regenerate it?

[ornate lynx]

wait

all the csproj files in my project are outside the obj folder, while in the one i created, none is existing

but still the assembly file is outside the obj folder

this is the new one

this is the old one

[ivory bobcat]

Does this differ from the other project?

[ornate lynx]

yes

a lot

[ornate lynx]

notice the scroll bar tho, it's a long list

[ivory bobcat]

Seems like you've got lots of extra stuff

[ornate lynx]

is it extra or in the wrong folder?

here's some

[ivory bobcat]

I'm only aware of you having two assembly project files (maybe a concern)

[hexed terrace]

No, you get loads of csproj files in the project folder.. depends on what you have in the project

[ornate lynx]

uhhh soo what can i do

[hexed terrace]

delete it

[ornate lynx]

tho the error for the project not loading was the assembly file not existing in the obj folder

[ivory bobcat]

Reimport everything into the new project and pray the unwanted behavior is forever destroyed with the previous project.

[ornate lynx]

alr

[swift sedge]

that what i recommended

[ornate lynx]

yeah well i still want my project to be fixed

[swift sedge]

just copy'n paste the assets

[ornate lynx]

for some reason those files showed up

[ivory bobcat]

Probably because of that carwash said #💻┃code-beginner message

They'll auto generate as you add/import stuff into your project

Likely had some corrupted file or (hopefully not) broken asset.

[ornate lynx]

what i don't understand is that the new project works fine even tho the assembly file is still not in the obj folder

[ivory bobcat]

That tells you it doesn't need to be in the folder

[ornate lynx]

well the error said that it has to be there

[ivory bobcat]

Thus why it's a bit important to understand what's definitely the problem to not create XY problem/solutions

[ornate lynx]

yeah ik

[ivory bobcat]

Hopefully everything turns out fine/great

[ornate lynx]

i wanna know what the problem is so that i get a little more familiar with unity...maybe

[ornate lynx]

until now, yeah

ty all for helping me out

[shy orbit]

Hi im struggling to attach scripts to my game objects, it comes up with a message saying "Cant add script behaviour VisualContainerAsset. The script needs to derive from Monobehaviour!"

[polar acorn]

Does your VisualContainerAsset script derive from MonoBehaviour?

[shy orbit]

how do i check?

[polar acorn]

Open the script and look at it

[shy orbit]

public class TesterScript : MonoBehaviour {

this line?

[polar acorn]

That's not VisualContainerAsset

[shy orbit]

i have no idea what VisualContainerAsset is

[astral falcon]

You are trying to add it obviously. So it has to be in your workflow of trying to add a script to the GO somewhere

[polar acorn]

According to your error, that'd be the script you're trying to add to something

[shy orbit]

right but when i open the script, where do i see if it derives from MonoBehaviour?

[astral falcon]

So you have a file called TesterScript.cs ? And you add that to your gameobject from the project view?

[astral falcon]

Well

Read the second part of that sentence

Whats your file called?

[shy orbit]

Tester script.cs

[summer stump]

It would have the words : MonoBehaviour near the top

[ivory bobcat]

Maybe the script name doesn't match the class name

[summer stump]

That does not match VisualContainerAsset

[ivory bobcat]

And apparently there isn't any mono behavior classes in the file

[astral falcon]

your filename needs to equal your classname with no spaces, upper and lowercase etc

[ivory bobcat]

Maybe what you're looking at in your ide is something other than that file - maybe a cache due to name changes while the file was still open.

[shy orbit]

ahhhhh

i got it

thank you

i had a space in it

[muted glen]

hey. can anyone help me with my pause menu and the buttons included. Everything should be working but i cant seem to find the issue with the buttons not actually being interactable. I just need a more experienced person to lookover it. thanks

This is my script.

[frigid sequoia]

Seems that your issue has nothing to do with the code and more with the UI being interacteable

[polar acorn]

Are these UI buttons?

Do you have an Event System in the scene?

[muted glen]

@frigid sequoia@polar acorn Thank you. I'll send screenshots of my scene and the appropriate things included

[naive lion]

    {
        float mouseY = Input.GetAxis("Mouse Y");

        float newRotation = Mathf.Clamp(cannonPivot.localRotation.eulerAngles.y + mouseY, minYRotation, maxYRotation);

        cannonPivot.localRotation = Quaternion.Euler(0f, newRotation, 0f);
    }```

Im tryna have a simple script where a gameobject can only move on the Y axis and are limited by a min and max rotation float
Anyone know why its not rotating on the Y and also why when it hits 0 it just snaps back to the max rotation value

[muted glen]

and then i have both buttons (on click has the representative stuff for the different buttons)

[frigid sequoia]

The last image makes it seem that you have no EventSystem; do you?

[muted glen]

i do. sorry

[keen dew]

Don't read the current rotation from the transform. Make newRotation a class field and add mouseY to that instead

[naive lion]

    {
        float mouseY = Input.GetAxis("Mouse Y");
        currentRotation += mouseY;
        currentRotation = Mathf.Clamp(currentRotation, minYRotation, maxYRotation);
        cannonPivot.localRotation = Quaternion.Euler(0f, currentRotation, 0f);
    }```

Works! Great thanks
Not sure if this is what you meant directly but it defo works

[frigid sequoia]

So... your issue is that you cannot interact with anything in the UI? Even though they are marked as interacteble?

[muted glen]

yep. so when i click on any button the menu doesnt go away nor does the actual function its meant to do happen

only when i press esc does it go away

[astral falcon]

Do you have a raycaster on your canvas? Do you have an image as last child in the hierarchy that is marked as raycast and blocks all raycasts?

[whole idol]

Ι just tried importing Unity's Bolt and all I got was a bunch of ERRORS!

[muted glen]

i have a graphic raycaster on my canvas

[astral falcon]

What version is your unity editor?

[astral falcon]

Then check against your hierarchy, if there is any image above that blocks it. You could hook into the eventsytem update to check, whats the last hit UI element too

[polar acorn]

I mean, if it doesn't work with 2021 "yet" it probably doesn't work with later versions.

Bolt no longer exists, it's been incorporated into Unity itself under the name Unity Visual Scripting.
https://unity.com/features/unity-visual-scripting

Why are you trying to open Unity 5?

[muted glen]

this is my hierachy along with canvas

[frigid sequoia]

Maybe, this a stupid sugestion, but maybe it is not running cause the timeScale is 0? Can that be a thing?

[polar acorn]

So make it in an actual modern version

[summer stump]

You can do that without a near decade old editor

[polar acorn]

Then we can't be bothered to help you goodbye

[summer stump]

Well what you are attempting is not working....

[muted glen]

ive checked and the exact same thing is working for others

[polar acorn]

<@&502884371011731486>

[astral falcon]

Whats in the last part of your UI hierarchy? Any image overlapping?

[frosty hound]

!warn 1135924484327616553 If you cannot be civil, then please leave.

[eternal falcon]

plainrocky has been warned.

[muted glen]

i dont believe there are any other images that are overlapping. i may be dumb though

[astral falcon]

I`d say, hook into the eventsystem updates and check what you are actually hitting

[polar acorn]

If you look at the bottom of the Event System inspector, there's a window that will show you what object you are hovering over. See if that object is what you expect

[muted glen]

okay thank you. im new to all this stuff sorry. this what i see when i click on the 'button'

[polar acorn]

Doesn't look like anything's selected at all. Can you show the inspector for your canvas?

[frosty hound]

!ban save 1135924484327616553 Not mature enough to bother trying to correct their behaviour.

[eternal falcon]

plainrocky was banned.

[polar acorn]

Hm, it has a raycaster, your button is interactable, nothing's blocking it, I'm not sure what else it could be

[muted glen]

hmm thank you. im not sure what to do. ive tried everything

wait mate

what is this

hold on

its working but only when im in dialogue with my npc????

[astral falcon]

Looks like your code is blocking your system 😉

[muted glen]

man...

[shy orbit]

void Start () {
float a = 8f;
float b = 6f;

    int sum = (int)a + (int)b;
}

why is this not giving me a value in console? is it cast incorrectly?

[muted glen]

ive done it..

thank you guys so much

[swift sedge]

did you log it?

[rocky canyon]

u dont debug the sum ?

[polar acorn]

What should be putting it in the console

[shy orbit]

oh lol forgot to print it my bad

thanks

[swift sedge]

you can use print or Debug.Log

[hushed hinge]

even though it is fixed now, I cannot see the list which I think is supposed to be shown there?

[flint falcon]

@rich adder

I did it

[polar acorn]

Are they public or serialized?

[summer stump]

They WERE private and not serialized, which would of course not show in the inspector. Did you change that?

[hushed hinge]

oh

changing they both to public right away

there we go

[rich adder]

huh?

[flint falcon]

i got it working. I was over thinking it way to much

I think the way I'm doing my sprite movements is causing me to flip through my edge of map colliders

[autumn tusk]

dont understand why my for loop is acting up all of a sudden

[summer stump]

Not much we can do to help with just that

[autumn tusk]

ill explain

[summer stump]

Maybe show the code and describe what "acting up" means?

[autumn tusk]

basically i have a burst gunner enemy that fires in bursts of 3

its functions based off a for loop

basically i define how many shots the enemy shoots out in an integer and get a for loop to generate an "enemy bullet" for each cycle

[wintry quarry]

sounds reasonable so far. What makes you think the loop is "acting up"?

[autumn tusk]

it stopped working suddenly

[wintry quarry]

what does "stopped working" mean?

[flint falcon]

show the goods\

[autumn tusk]

basically only fires once

[wintry quarry]

Basically you're passing null in here audiosource.PlayOneShot(shootclip);

you're passsing in a null audio clip

[summer stump]

Always fix any errors before worrying about anything else. Your for loop is irrelevant here, because it simply cannot complete due to the error

[wintry quarry]

Which means you forgot to assign it in the inspector

[ivory bobcat]

I think this would be line 78 whereas he said his error was on line 68?

You can't add a float to a vector

[wraith valley]

if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.LeftArrow)) { transform.position = new Vector3(-5f, transform.position.y, transform.position.z) + Time.deltaTime * speed; }

think about what it's doing

and make it make sense

[wraith valley]

Just red line

[wintry quarry]

Use 🧠

think about it

what is this code doing?

[summer stump]

Ok, you said no red line earlier

[polar acorn]

Okay, so it is highlighted

[wraith valley]

There is wasn`t red line

[polar acorn]

Now you just need to make it mathematically sound. You can't add a float to a vector. What are you actually trying to do with this value?

[wraith valley]

Moving

On the left side

[ivory bobcat]

Maybe you meant for speed to be a vector 3?

[wraith valley]

No

Speed is a speed

[ivory bobcat]

And to not use the += operator

[ivory bobcat]

You cannot add a float to a vector 3

Your offset needs to be a vector 3 as well - assuming that's what you're intending to do.

My assumption:cs position = modifiedPosition + offset

[wraith valley]

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

public class PlayerController : MonoBehaviour
{
    // Start is called before the first frame update
    public float speed = 10f;
    void Start()
    {
        
    }

    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update()
    {
        if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.LeftArrow)) { transform.position += new Vector3(-1, 0, 0) * Time.deltaTime * speed; }
    }
}

[ivory bobcat]

Where offset would be the speed vector scaled by delta time etc

[wraith valley]

I should have use *

[exotic hazel]

It's * time. Deltatime

[wraith valley]

I did that

[hushed hinge]

I feel like I came a bit. further

[wraith valley]

        if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.LeftArrow)) { transform.position += new Vector3(-1, transform.position.y, transform.position.z) * Time.deltaTime * speed; }
    }
}

Because of +

Lol

🗿

[exotic hazel]

Good thing u noticed I spent 2 hours fixing a + sign issue when I was making an inventory

[wraith valley]

🗿

How?

[exotic hazel]

So there was one line when I was making the drag feature in inventory

It was smthing like

Recttransform.anchoredposition = eventdata. Delta

It was meant to be += eventdata.delta

And i just Couldnt see it

[wraith valley]

Doesn`t work

using System.Collections;

public class PlayerController : MonoBehaviour

    // Start is called before the first frame update

        if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.UpArrow)) { transform.position += new Vector3(transform.position.x, 1, transform.position.z) * Time.deltaTime * velocity; }
    }
}

That`s shoud work

[wraith valley]

Shit happens

[polar acorn]

None of this math makes sense. Why are you doubling the Y and Z position every time you tap left or right

[wraith valley]

What?

[polar acorn]

When you add a value to itself, what happens to that value

[exotic hazel]

Use vector3.right and vector3.up firstly

[wraith valley]

Adding

[polar acorn]

So why are you also adding the current y and z position to the current y and z position while you're trying to change the x position?

[exotic hazel]

And is there supposed to be a + sign there?

Only =

[wraith valley]

🤷‍♂️

[polar acorn]

So if you don't know why you're doing it why did you do it

[exotic hazel]

Calm down he is totally new

[polar acorn]

Code doesn't just happen, you were surely thinking of something when you wrote it

[polar acorn]

He's also been asking basic syntax questions and refusing to elaborate on any decisions for the past week

I`m noob in Unity

🤷‍♂️

[exotic hazel]

We all were and i still sm

[polar acorn]

But you're probably not a noob to math and logic

[wraith valley]

But don`t understand why Vector3.left and why not new Vector3 (1, 0,0)

[exotic hazel]

Same thing

[polar acorn]

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Vector3-left.html

[wraith valley]

🗿

[exotic hazel]

But u used transform. Position.y instead

[exotic hazel]

Cus u used vector3(5f, transform. Position. Y, transform. Position. Z

[summer stump]

If not longer

[exotic hazel]

Btw are u just testing stuff or watching a tutorial

[wraith valley]

But this same thing

[polar acorn]

No it isn't

[wraith valley]

I`m taking position of object

[exotic hazel]

This is the important stuff

[polar acorn]

1, 0, 0 and 1, position.y, position.z are not the same

[wraith valley]

🗿

How?

[summer stump]

Stop doing that

[exotic hazel]

If u totally new to unity I suggest watching the Junior programmer tutorial on the learn.unity page

[polar acorn]

Because two things that are different are, in fact, different

[exotic hazel]

I started from there

[polar acorn]

I literally cannot explain this any clearer

[exotic hazel]

U will learn a lot from there

[polar acorn]

this is basic object permanence

[wraith valley]

I just thought logically, after all I saw in Unity learn that I can take there and change the coordinates I need without touching the other Y and Z, because it's like the same thing if I just write 0, 0. What would that be there are 0 and 0, that's right.

[polar acorn]

Again, when you add a value to itself, what happens

Do you get the same value back, or a different one

If you have two apples, and someone else gives you two more apples, how many apples do you have

[wraith valley]

I didn't understand the analogy, but thanks

[exotic hazel]

If ur transform. Position is (5, 5,5) aand u do transform.position += new vector 3(transfrom.position.x, transform.position. T, transform. Position. Z)

Then u actually do

(5+5, 5+5, 5+5)

[swift elbow]

2+2

[polar acorn]

Pretend the object's y position is measured in apples

[exotic hazel]

So the new coordinates are 10,10,20

I mean Qp

[polar acorn]

that's the analogy

[exotic hazel]

10

[polar acorn]

If you add two apples to two apples, you no longer have only two apples

you have a different number

[wraith valley]

But i`m adding 0 + 0

Is it bad?

[exotic hazel]

Just wait a sex

Sec

[polar acorn]

Now you are. Before you were adding position.y and position.z and that's why you were told to change it

and then you asked why it made a difference

and I'm trying to explain basic addition

[wraith valley]

I know

[exotic hazel]

This

U aren't adding 0+0

U are adding the coordinates to itself or Mutliplying it by 2

[wraith valley]

What should i do?

[exotic hazel]

To make the object move?

[wraith valley]

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

public class PlayerController : MonoBehaviour

    // Start is called before the first frame update
    public float speed = 10f;

    }

    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update()
    {
        if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.LeftArrow)) { transform.position += Vector3.left * Time.deltaTime * speed; }
        if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.RightArrow)) { transform.position +=  Vector3.right * Time.deltaTime * speed; }
        if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.UpArrow)) { transform.position += Vector3.up * Time.deltaTime * velocity; }
    }
}

[polar acorn]

This
#💻┃code-beginner message

[wraith valley]

There`s too * coordinates

[wraith valley]

Yes

[wraith valley]

I did that

[polar acorn]

Yes, now your object will properly move speed units per second for one frame every time you tap the left or right key

[exotic hazel]

Use transform. Translate

If(input.getkey(keycode.W))
{
Transform.Translate(vector3.right*time.deltatime * speed
}

[junior quarry]

Hello all, question regarding cameras and netcode - when i add a new client, the camera from the previous client switches to the camera of the new client... any idea how to fix this?

[exotic hazel]

To make it jump u can maybe add Rigidbody and use the addforce option

[summer stump]

#archived-networking

[summer stump]

You can jump with translate. Adding a rigidboyd would mean they should change all their code to rigidbody based

[wraith valley]

Transform.Translate(new Vector3(1, 0, 0) * Time.deltaTime * speed) is better

[summer stump]

You don't want to mix

[wraith valley]

Thanks

[exotic hazel]

Absolutely same but yea if u think it's better sure. U need to understand

[wraith valley]

I understand

[rich adder]

just be aware Translation = no collisions

[exotic hazel]

That's why I said maybe I never worked with translate only used player controller and I'm not that good either

[wraith valley]

Transform too?

[rich adder]

well moving Transforms directly is what translation does, and it same as teleporting

it doesn't respect the physics scene

[wraith valley]

Just teleport?

Should be good for teleporting units

[rich adder]

yeah for teleporting assigning position is more than enough, no need for translate

[wraith valley]

Then why was it added?

[rich adder]

to simplify movement with a few extra options like relative coordinate space etc.

but all its really doing is position +=

this is the function behind Translate

nothing fancy

[summer stump]

For when it makes sense to do that. Not everything needs collisions

And not everything that moves is a player or enemy or something

And sometimes you DO just want to teleport something

[wraith valley]

[tender stag]

this is supposed to check if any of the equipmentCells item is not null

if((item as EquipmentItem).equipmentCells.Any(equipment => equipment.cell.item != null))

it doesnt work

even though theres clearly an item in at least one of them

i mean i could do this

but i was trying to simplify it

not having the loop

[polar acorn]

When dealing with a Linq query doing what you don't expect, usually it's a good idea to first make it the brute force way and make sure your logic works. Try storing equipmentCells in a list, loop over it, and check each item. If that works, then the issue is the Linq query itself

[polar acorn]

Okay, so this works, but your Linq query doesn't?

[tender stag]

wait it also doesnt work

hold on

im so dumb

i was doing equipment.cell.item instead of equipment.item

[wintry quarry]

It's a component like any other.

[carmine sierra]

is this valid

[wintry quarry]

It will compile definitely. Depending on what p1Balance is, it may or may not be what you want.

[rocky canyon]

might need some formatting depending on what it is

[carmine sierra]

why is the line in start not getting the variable?

I have linked the script

[slender nymph]

what do you mean by "not getting the variable" and also how have you verified that it isn't

[carmine sierra]

i have verified as I was logging it and it wasnt updating

whereas the original variable in the other script was updating

[slender nymph]

it sounds like you need to learn the difference between value types and reference types

[carmine sierra]

does it need to be public?

[slender nymph]

mate you haven't even properly described what you mean when you say it "isn't getting the variable". but also if this is in fact an issue of not understanding reference types versus value types, then the access modifier is entirely irrelevant

[buoyant knot]

public/private/internal changes what classes are allowed to call that function or access that variable

[carmine sierra]

i am getting the variable woodnumber from the script spawnwood which has a variable called woodnumber

[carmine sierra]

i know that

but i dont know why its not working

[slender nymph]

and . . .?

[carmine sierra]

is that not a good explanation

[slender nymph]

that isn't an explanation of what you think isn't working at all

[carmine sierra]

the original woodnumber variable is updating in the original script

[buoyant knot]

no

[wintry quarry]

Updating would likely have to happen in Update

[carmine sierra]

it is

[wintry quarry]

No you're getting it in Start

[carmine sierra]

ohhh

yeah your right

thanks

[slender nymph]

are you expecting the woodNumber variable to stay the same as the SpawnWood component's woodNumber variable? if so, then i will reiterate that you need to go learn the difference between value types and reference types

[carmine sierra]

yeah lol woops

i forgot that i need to keep calling it to update it

[wintry quarry]

There's no good reason to have a duplicate variable of a variable in another script like this

Just read it directly from the reference to the other script

Otherwise you get this annoying headache of keeping them in sync

[carmine sierra]

how do i do that?

is it not already reading it directly

[thorn holly]

Yeah, so simply say SpawnWood.woodNumber instead of the variable you made

[carmine sierra]

oh okay

doesnt it make it easier to read through

[thorn holly]

Maybe, but int is a value type. You’d have to do some super uneccessary stuff for that to work

It’s easier just to say SpawnWood.woodNumber

[buoyant knot]

on a similar note, I have a UI used to modify a data structure with an input field. I’m having a bit of challenge trying to figure out how to properly keep them synced, to make the data match the UI and visa versa. Because it feels like methods that do one change should call methods to sync UI to/from data. Is there a simple way to organize without getting confused?

[carmine sierra]

how would you go about only subtracting when thewoodnumber changes. i know this is simple but the only way I can think of doing it (coding everything in one script) will make things messy

Right now it subtracts every frame (as expected)

[buoyant knot]

like, I have a method that writes current contents of data structure to imput field. I have another method that writes contents of input field to data structure. And when I do other things, I am getting confused to keep them in sync.

[thorn holly]

Put that line of code in a method, call that method every time you change woodNumber

[carmine sierra]

this might sound stupid, but how would I detect when it changes

[thorn holly]

When you code it to change

[carmine sierra]

would I need to use another variable to save it's previous number

[thorn holly]

When you make the value change via code

[thorn holly]

No, every time you set the variable to something else, call the method

[carmine sierra]

thanks

that requires me to do it in one code then

[thorn holly]

Do what in one code?

[carmine sierra]

im changing the variable in another code

[thorn holly]

So call the method in the other scripts

Right after you change it

[carmine sierra]

i didnt know i could do that

[thorn holly]

Yes, in the same way you would reference the variable

[carmine sierra]

so scriptname.functionname?

with the ()

[thorn holly]

If the method is static, yes

[carmine sierra]

sorry but what is a static method

i googled and i dont know

[thorn holly]

It seems like you need to learn some c# basics. I wouldn’t reccomend doing unity until you have a solid c# foundation

And google should be plenty to answer your question

[carmine sierra]

i know a bit

i need to finish my game by monday ish

[thorn holly]

Alright, try googling it

It should be plenty to answer your question

[buoyant knot]

short timeline + inexperience = bad game

no offense

[carmine sierra]

i was already working on it for a week a few months back

it's nearly finished so im not too worried about that

[buoyant knot]

that does not fill me with confidence

[carmine sierra]

it's just that i was learning on the go

[thorn holly]

Learning on the go is fine, but things like what static means are basic concepts you need to know before you start developing in unity

[buoyant knot]

you are driving without a license, then worrying you are going to miss your flight if you don’t gun it

[thorn holly]

Anyway, I have to go, good luck, hope you get this figured out

[carmine sierra]

i used gemini ai and i still have a vague idea

does it just mean there are no more than one of the same name in the script

[polar acorn]

Static means they belong to the class, not any instances of the class

[carmine sierra]

i know what an instance is and the class is the script itself right?

but how could the script have instances

[slender nymph]

you are (likely) confusing the concept of an instance with the property name commonly used in the singleton pattern

[polar acorn]

A script is a blueprint for how to make a thing. An instance is that thing.

A script is like, the DNA genome of a cat. An instance is an actual Cat

[carmine sierra]

so whats an example of a static function

[slender nymph]

everything on the Mathf struct

[polar acorn]

Something that does not need any specific instances of a thing

Getting the absolute value of a number does not require a specific "thing" to do the math. You just pass it a number and it gives you a result

[carmine sierra]

when would a function not be static

[polar acorn]

When it is done by a specific thing

[carmine sierra]

so your saying it shouldn't require parameters?

[polar acorn]

parameters have nothing to do with anything

[carmine sierra]

damn

ohhhh

you mean the function should always be accessible

and callable

[thorn holly]

In this example, something static could be the total number of cats currently on earth

And something non static would be what color the cat is, bc that can vary from cat to cat (instance to instance)

[polar acorn]

A static function does not require any specific thing to exist.
A non-static function requires the thing it's defined on to exist.

You don't need to know about any specific cat to answer the question "Are cats mammals?"
But you do need to know about a specific cat to answer the question "What color is a cat?"

[carmine sierra]

i get what your trying to say but I dont get how that applies to functions

[carmine sierra]

does that mean as long as the function is fully executable and all the pieces needed for it to fully function are in place it is static?

[summer stump]

ReturnColor of the cat couldn't be static
ReturnDefaultLimbCount could be

[open vine]

I was able to make a path generator along a generated tile map but can anyone explain how to make it procedural and not directly from the start to end point?

[polar acorn]

A static function does not have pieces

it simply exists

It is a procedure that can be done regardless of any instances of any classes

[carmine sierra]

oh okay so my function that i need isn't static then

[stone pilot]

how do i fix this ? (the line renderer)

when the player dies

[polar acorn]

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/TrailRenderer.Clear.html
Clear the trail renderer after you set the player's start position

[stone pilot]

like this

    {
        StartCoroutine(Respawn(1f));
    }

    IEnumerator Respawn(float duration)
    {
        tr.Clear();
        rb.simulated = false;
        rb.velocity = new Vector2(0,0);
        transform.localScale = new Vector3(0,0,0);
        yield return new WaitForSeconds(duration);
        transform.position = startPos;
        transform.localScale = new Vector3(0.22f,0.22f,0.22f);
        rb.simulated = true;
    }```

[polar acorn]

As your path is going, pick a random adjacent tile that does not already have a path on it, you should eventually reach the destination. There are many maze generation algorithms that have different conditions and come up with different kinds of results

[polar acorn]

after

[stone pilot]

alright

[zenith cypress]

I remember having to do this to get the renderer to actually clear it properly #💻┃unity-talk message maybe they fixed it since then

[stone pilot]

not working..

the problem is when the player dies then respawns again

[polar acorn]

Yes, that's why I said to clear the trail renderer after you set the player's location

Where did you put it?

[stone pilot]

i did that but its not working

    {
        rb.simulated = false;
        rb.velocity = new Vector2(0,0);
        transform.localScale = new Vector3(0,0,0);
        yield return new WaitForSeconds(duration);
        tr.Clear();
        transform.position = startPos;
        transform.localScale = new Vector3(0.22f,0.22f,0.22f);
        rb.simulated = true;
    }```

[polar acorn]

after

[stone pilot]

alr

    {
        rb.simulated = false;
        rb.velocity = new Vector2(0,0);
        transform.localScale = new Vector3(0,0,0);
        yield return new WaitForSeconds(duration);
        transform.position = startPos;
        transform.localScale = new Vector3(0.22f,0.22f,0.22f);
        rb.simulated = true;
        tr.Clear();
    }```

like this ?

[polar acorn]

Yes, try that

[stone pilot]

it worked, thanks

[wild dagger]

Hi, I'm having an issue where the game does decrease the enemy's health as it's supposed to, yet value of the slider doesn't change meaning that it doesn't move?

As you can see the HP value has decreased yet the bar itself hasn't moved at all, have I missed something?

[swift elbow]

your slider component is not setup properly

[wild dagger]

Ahhh no wonder

[swift elbow]

your bar looks green bc you have an image component, the slider component is not what is controlling the color rn

[wild dagger]

Do I have to include the slider.MaxValue along with the value?

[swift elbow]

your code is fine

[wild dagger]

mb sent that just as u sent that message lol

Ok so its the actual slider itself that's the issue, so the slider IS decreasing but the green isbecause of the image itself?

how can I make sure it does decrease accordingly

[swift elbow]

no, you do not need the image at all. the slider should be the only thing you have. however, your slider component is not setup for it to show anything

[wild dagger]

Ok I'll get rid of the image

[swift elbow]

your component should look something like this

[wild dagger]

Ah ok

[swift elbow]

if you rmb and reset it will do this automatically

[wild dagger]

ok now it looks like this

[swift elbow]

now assign fill rect and handle rect

[wild dagger]

sorry im not sure what exactly to assign it to in this case

[swift elbow]

create a new slider gameobj and delete your current one

that'll assign them automatically

[wild dagger]

ok

Done it, I'm trying to adjust the shape so its rectangular but im not sure how to

How do I make this rectangular? 💀

[rich adder]

swap the sprite

or remove it

[wild dagger]

ok

[rocky canyon]

u can use an empty image to get a perfect square

[swift elbow]

rectangles are not squares 😵‍💫

[rocky canyon]

rectangles can be squares.

squares cannot be rectangles

[polar acorn]

All squares are rectangles, but not all rectangles are squares

[swift elbow]

you have it the other way around

@rocky canyon

[rocky canyon]

anywho..

[stone pilot]

is there a way to make the pixel perfect camera follow the player without cinemachine ?

[rich adder]

huh? they're not related

[wild dagger]

Bro what do I even do with all of these different components 💀

can I get rid of some of them

[rocky canyon]

lol. theres some of em that are not really needed yea

[rich adder]

what are you trying to do?

[wild dagger]

I just wanna create a sliding health bar man

the code's ready its literally just creating the slider

[rich adder]

use an Image component set to Fill

[wild dagger]

its supposed to go on top ofthis

[rich adder]

much easier and better than a slider

[swift elbow]

read the name of the objs in the hierarchy

[rocky canyon]

these two objects are the important ones

and ofc the main slider component.. but yea image and fill's work great too

[rich adder]

yea you'll get a much better result with Image component than slider

[wild dagger]

aight

[rich adder]

You'll need something like this

download it put it in the image component set the mode to Fil

[wild dagger]

Cause I genuinely tried using a bar image and adding the slider component but that didn't work either

[rich adder]

it works i do it all the time

comes cleaner than slider

[wild dagger]

Bro scroll up I tried with my code and it didn't work

[carmine sierra]

is there a difference between destroying an object or turning it's setactive to false

[wild dagger]

I couldn't add a fill and handle rect to the image lol

[carmine sierra]

in terms of processing

[rich adder]

disabling doesn't destroy the object

both are pretty much already in memory, destroying will eventually free it up

[carmine sierra]

does anything to do with it run still

[summer stump]

Yes? They are significantly different

[rich adder]

not unity events

[summer stump]

Only Update and other unity methods will stop

All your own methods will operate as normal

[rich adder]

You can still call functions on disabled objects if you have references to those scripts

[carmine sierra]

ohh okay

and if it were just a sprite for example

would it be fine if it were setactive false

[summer stump]

Why would it not be fine?

We don't know what you want to happen

[carmine sierra]

if it still were using cpu power

[rich adder]

you're overthinking this

[carmine sierra]

probably

[wild dagger]

how

[summer stump]

It would consume space in ram still. But whatever

[wild dagger]

bro im so cooked

[carmine sierra]

cause in my script the sprite updates to the mouses position

so if its setactive is false would it still be moving to the mouse but invisibly

but yeah it doesnt really matter

[rich adder]

how does a sprite update a position ?

[carmine sierra]

transform.position

updates it's position to the mouse

[rich adder]

whats that got to do with a sprite

[carmine sierra]

it's following the mouse

[rich adder]

yeah its not a big deal at all

everything was already drawn on screen and loaded

[stone pilot]

is there a way to make the pixel perfect camera follow the player without cinemachine ?

[naive palm]

is there any way to make the composite collider's collision edges thicker when using polygons geometry type instead of edges? My enemies can slip through the thin edges

[rich adder]

not a code question. Also answered this already

[summer stump]

Same way as a normal camera

[stone pilot]

is this even an answer ?

[summer stump]

Yes. With the 0 details you gave, we can't answer any more

[rich adder]

the pixel perfect can function perfectly fine without cinemachine..

[summer stump]

How do you want it to move, what should it follow, what axes do you move in?

There are tons of guides on how to have cameras follow things

[stone pilot]

i meant to follow the player...

[summer stump]

Ok, 1 out of 3. Good good. Can we get the rest?

[stone pilot]

i tried but that didnt work

[rich adder]

show what you tried, and be more clear what didn't work

[stone pilot]

alright

i'v added this script to the camera to make the camera follow the player but its not working with the pixel pefect

{
    private Vector3 offset = new Vector3(0f, 0f, -10f);
    public float smoothTime = 0.25f;
    private Vector3 velocity = Vector3.zero;

    [SerializeField] private Transform target;

    private void Update()
    {
        Vector3 targetPosition = target.position + offset;
        transform.position = Vector3.SmoothDamp(transform.position, targetPosition, ref velocity, smoothTime);
    }
}```

[rich adder]

you put this on camera and pixel pefect is on the camera?

[stone pilot]

yes

i dont know but ya makin me feel dumb..

[summer stump]

How? We need information to help.

[rich adder]

show the console during playmode

make sure there are no erros, also it should prob be inside LateUpdate for any cameras

or it will be chop

[wild dagger]

Bro im still stuck on making this damn slider the size I want it to be

[stone pilot]

wait

i think the prob is that i hav a animator on the cam right ?

[wild dagger]

@rich adder Ik its bad man

[summer stump]

Is the animator affecting the transform?

Could be the issue

[rich adder]

why didn't you just use the Image component like suggested

[summer stump]

What is the purpose of the animator there?

[stone pilot]

yep alright i found the error

[summer stump]

Noice. Good job

[stone pilot]

i just forgot that i've got an animator on the camera

[wild dagger]

like this?

[rich adder]

ok good, you need a sprite inside to "unlock" the Fill mode

[wild dagger]

atm its the perfect size its just a matter of decreasing it

aight

[rich adder]

i sent you one

its a plain white box

[rocky canyon]

^ add that as ur sprite and ur "Fill" option will reveal itself

looks like a circle until u click it 😄

[rich adder]

wish unity didn't make the built in square sprite a myster asset..

[rich adder]

haha yeah gotta love discord rounding

[wild dagger]

sprite has been added

[rocky canyon]

ya, i have a square sprite i keep on my desktop 😄

now change Image Type to Fill

[rich adder]

Image Type

[wild dagger]

O DAMN ITWORKS

[rocky canyon]

and then u have a .fillAmount variable u can use to update ur health/shield or w/e

[rich adder]

you can even do rounded ones

[reef oyster]

does anyone know why my included libraries namespaces are grey but mono isnt

[wild dagger]

imma look up some examples cause im notsure how to use it properly

[rich adder]

gray = unused

[reef oyster]

ah so it should be fine

[rich adder]

yea you can delete them

unless you need Lists or something

[reef oyster]

wb white

[rich adder]

the opposite lol

[reef oyster]

so its used

[polar acorn]

Discord embedding making you look insane

[rich adder]

what is real anymore

[rocky canyon]

ah shit, my square is circle too!

idk why i used 15x15..

trying to split pixels i guess

[rich adder]

prob min is 16

[rocky canyon]

yea i had to check to see what was common

16x16 makes more sense lol

[rich adder]

idk assuming they love doing multiples of 2

[rocky canyon]

ya, thats where my 15 pixel block is gonna look faded on one side

[wild dagger]

IT WORKS OMG

[rocky canyon]

hellz ya

[wild dagger]

I am new to Unity.This is my first script and i have no idea why it doesn't works

[polar acorn]

What isn't working

[honest trench]

this has me so confused. I ahve this code that makes it so when the player touches it, it moves the camera and changes some other stuff. and it works great. the on screenshot with NewCam2 it works flawlessly. but on the screenshot with newcam3, it works but all the enemies become invisible. I can still interact with them, but they are just... invisible. why????

Ill provide any other info needed

[stable moth]

when i asign every component(idk how to call them) nothing happens

[polar acorn]

Are they at a different Z position

[honest trench]

the newCams?

[polar acorn]

Show the inspector of this component

[polar acorn]

Yes

[polar acorn]

Okay, and what happens when you run the game? Send a screenshot of it then

[honest trench]

yep they were

why does that effect it

[polar acorn]

I'm guessing your code moves the camera to the position of newCamX, and depending on your culling distances, moving the camera to a different Z position might mean some things are outside of your culling range that weren't before

[stable moth]

It works ig but not in the inspector

[polar acorn]

Why would it work in the inspector?

[stable moth]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

I mean in the editor

[polar acorn]

Again, why would it work in the editor?

Your script doesn't do anything in the editor

[stable moth]

I see

Ok

And btw how can i make a sprite renderer only be rendered from front

[polar acorn]

There's a checkmark in the material settings. Make a material that's not two-sided

[scarlet skiff]

why bro doesnt wanna let me touch his x and y?

it is indeed a vector2

https://gdl.space/rekenufiqi.cs full script js in case

[cosmic dagger]

you're trying to use the movement variable . . .

you're image doesn't show that variable . . .

[scarlet skiff]

oh woops

nvm i was suppsoed to use direction not movement

confused myself with variable naming

[carmine sierra]

should i calculate force using f = ma for a projectile

or is there a better way for unity

(2D)

[summer stump]

AddForce is a thing

[carmine sierra]

life changer

thanks

does that add force though or also calculates it?

i need a magnitude of the force

and it should be dependant on an already set motion that i have

[summer stump]

It actually adds the force
https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Rigidbody2D.AddForce.html

It is common to use the difference between the current speed and desiredMax speed

Depends on what you want to do with it

[carmine sierra]

wait so how do I get the force magnitude?

Do i need to recode my projectile to use addforce

[summer stump]

rigidbody.velocity

[carmine sierra]

but isn't acceleration for force

[summer stump]

Depends on how it is coded now

[summer stump]

What acceleration, and what do you mean?

Velocity is a speed and not an acceleration
(m/s vs m/s^2)

[carmine sierra]

force = mass x acceleration

i need the force

[summer stump]

AddForce does that

You plug in a vector and it applies force to the rigidbody

[carmine sierra]

okay ill try and see how it works

[summer stump]

That is it

[carmine sierra]

but sorry to clarify can i also return the force magnitude value from the addforce thing?

[summer stump]

AddForce will not work if you set velocity directly like that

[warped sorrel]

How can I annotate a field's type as being a literal class rather than an instance of the class?

class Bar { } 
class Foo {
  public ? bar;
  Foo(? bar) {
    this.bar = bar
  }
}
// I don't want:
Foo f = new Foo(new Bar())
// I want:
Foo f = new Foo(Bar)

[summer stump]

No, you would have to read velocity from the rigidbody

[carmine sierra]

but i need force not velocity

[summer stump]

Why?

You would have to calculate it I guess then

[carmine sierra]

cause i will have breakable objects which are destroyed when the force of the projectile on collision is great enough to destroy the object

[slender nymph]

AddForce does not calculate a force needed to get from one position to another. it applies the amount of force you tell it to apply to the rigidbody

[carmine sierra]

my rigidbody already has a projectile function

I just need to take the force from it now

[summer stump]

You can calculate force from velocity and mass

[carmine sierra]

actually?

why does newton say f = ma then

is it just more accurate

[summer stump]

What would you call the velocity at one point and then the velocity at another point?

[carmine sierra]

what do you mean?

[summer stump]

F = ma is more about finding the force enacting on one object, not collisions necessarily

[summer stump]

I mean that caching the velicity at one point and then caching a second velocity will give you acceleration

[carmine sierra]

yeah your right i just googled

ill use f = mv then thanks

[summer stump]

That SHOULD work, I was more thinking f = m * v / t
But now that you say it, t is probably not super helpful in unity. Or at least can be ignored?

I dunno. Not something I have ever done. Just remembering physics class

[mossy panther]

I think you're talking about generics

[warped sorrel]

I want to do runtime stuff with the classes

[timber tide]

Mmm foobars

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.type?view=net-8.0
Maybe can use type?

[charred pasture]

Hey, I'm working on this project for a while but I just realised something is wrong with my player controller. Any tips?

[rich adder]

bad pivots mostlikely

since you seem to still have center mode on

[charred pasture]

Aghhh I got the same input from my friend too.. How can I change it?

[rich adder]

switch it to pivot

check all the children objects

or maybe they're far apart

[mossy panther]

Then Theres probably a better way to implement whatever you are trying to implement but you're basically describing reflection (i don't recommend doing any reflection except if you're doing some kind of meta-programming)

[charred pasture]

I changed it to pivot, the problem still persist. Thanks for the input though!

[rich adder]

changing input alone isn't enough..

there is like a second part to that

[warped sorrel]

I have a function that is going to receive a list of objects and then iterate through them, selectively do stuff based on if the object has a property of a certain type. like, an entity component system. a System iterates through all entities, and only processes the entities who have components of specified types.

[open vine]

Hey so I have a bool that tells whether something can move up, down, left, and right. Any idea how I can get it to randomly choose one?

[charred pasture]

Got it! I solved it by changing the location of the player controller. Thank you so much for the tips

[warped sorrel]

random int between 1..4. index into list of directions

[mossy panther]

Oh thats it...
Just search getType() c#
You can use this method to figure out the type of an object in runtime

[warped sorrel]

yes but I need to compare it to a specified type

if getType == x

x needs to be the class
