Show the inspector for pointText

[astral falcon]

As I thought, and what is the public variable you are trying to drag it to in your script?

[polar acorn]

Okay, and your variable is of type TMP_Text, right?

[blissful spindle]

yes sir

[polar acorn]

Open up the DMGNumbers prefab and send a screenshot of the hierarchy

No it isn't, that's the shared parent class between both UI and 3D text

it works for this

TextMeshPro is the world text

TextMeshProUGUI is the UI one

TMP_Text is both

[blissful spindle]

is this enough?

[polar acorn]

No, open the prefab itself

Not the scene

hey guys its me again and i have everything working now i just need to check if the walking points are valid whne thyere random so my solution was to create a ray cast and if it touches the cube then its valid because it can reach the point with no obstacles and basically i have this code.But when i hit play the raycats are not hitting its object and idk if its bc i hvae the direction wrong or what.Heres code

void WalkRandomly()
    {
        
        
        TimeBtwnSteps -= Time.deltaTime;
        
        if(TimeBtwnSteps <= 0)
        {
            float RandX = Random.Range(MinWalkValues.x, MaxWalkValues.x);
            float RandZ = Random.Range(MinWalkValues.z, MaxWalkValues.z);
            WalkPoint = new Vector3(transform.position.x + RandX, transform.position.y, transform.position.z + RandZ);
            TimeBtwnSteps = Random.Range(0, 5);
        }

        if(TimeBtwnSteps > 0)
        {
            float XDir = WalkPoint.x - transform.position.x;
            float ZDir = WalkPoint.z - transform.position.z;

           
            if(Physics.Raycast(WalkPoint, WalkPoint - transform.position, out ObjHit,100f, LayerMask.GetMask("Worker")))
            {
                if(ObjHit.collider == this.gameObject)
                {
                    Debug.Log("Valid Spot");
                    transform.position = Vector3.MoveTowards(transform.position, new Vector3(XDir, transform.position.y, ZDir), WalkSpeed * Time.deltaTime);

                }
            }
          
        }```

[astral falcon]

Thanks for the insight, always been using the UGUI one 🙂

[proven mirage]

heres ss they grey points are walk points

[astral falcon]

And if you drag the Text (DMG) now to your script, its not working?

[polar acorn]

Okay, so now can you drag that text into that box

[blissful spindle]

well smth happened 😄

[blissful spindle]

I can

[astral falcon]

When you drag a scene object (inside the prefab hierarchy) to your prefab and you are not in prefab mode, you need to save the override to your prefab. Or better, just go into the prefab mode and link it there to avoid this 🙂

[blissful spindle]

ok I can see it saying 9999 which is good now I need to work out the lookAt

[blissful spindle]

wow THX SM.

[proven mirage]

@astral falcon can u plz take a look at my rpob really fast since your hear and experianced coder like you should be able to determine it in a sonics pace

plz?

🙂

[blissful spindle]

THX for your help.

[astral falcon]

Pls no direct demand on people here. Most of the users just jump in and out randomly as I do and see, where they can help.

[proven mirage]

mb mb wont again sire

i dident ena to sound rude

[astral falcon]

All good, its just putting some pressure noone wants in freetime 😉

And for your issue, I suggest you look into debug.drawray or line and see where your raycast actually is firing to. Go from there

[proven mirage]

oh i just tried that

but i can get the right distance see

oh mybad

you said line

thank you

we got lines now

but how can we make that into a ray cast

so we can check if the point is blocked by an obstacle

i thoguht my raycast math was correct unless im worng

[misty hedge]

Doing anything to the capsule's or rigidbody's rotation re-introduces jitter. Just having Camera.main.transform.localRotation = Quaternion.Euler(rotX, rotY, 0); reduces jitter, but it doesn't entirely eliminate it. Super weird

[proven mirage]

k i think i got it

now we need to multiply it by - number

[acoustic sun]

Is there a way to reset the scene into its defalt view? For some reason, I am unable to move the scene view with my mouse

[rocky canyon]

top right Layout

ur in Iso view

[rich adder]

I think that <- symbol means Prospective

3 lines same length, would be ortho

[wintry quarry]

yes - they are in "Left" view though

I don't recall if that locks the scene camera though, i don't think it does

[rocky canyon]

yeap, just reset the layout

[rich adder]

yeah true maybe its locked

[rocky canyon]

thats what i thought when i seen Left

but if that was ur last Iso view.. it sticks around

so, not enough of a clue

[rich adder]

iirc if you hold right click you should still be able to rotat it no ?

I don't have unity open atm

[rocky canyon]

ya, it goes back to perspective

so not sure.. his lock icon isnt locked.. and the 2D button isn't highlighted

so maybe a bug?

[rich adder]

time to restart unity 😛

[swift crag]

i've had situations where middle-mouse dragging doesn't work until I left click in the scene view to focus it

but I presume they're left-clicking with the hand tool here.

[rocky canyon]

ive got into a habit of doing this every few hours.. just to keep the speed up

longer its open the longer it takes to recompile / draw

why am i getting the "Can't add script component 'movecam' because the script class cannot be found. Make sure that there are no compile errors and that the file name and class name match." error even though my class name and file name are exactly the same?

[swift crag]

well, do you haver any compile errors?

[cobalt schooner]

im not sure, how can i check

[swift crag]

by looking at the console

[cobalt schooner]

looks like it

[swift crag]

well there you go

fix those

is your code editor highlighting these errors?

if not, it needs to be configured correctly

[cobalt schooner]

i think so

wait nvm i dont think it is

no... it is highlighting them

but i dont see anything wrong with them

[swift crag]

as the errors say, you're missing a lot of semicolons

Also...

You need to pay closer attention when you copy things

you are simply copying incorrectly

[cobalt schooner]

hmm alright

[languid spire]

Also remember C# is case sensitive

[cobalt schooner]

yeah i already had problems with that but i got them figured out im pretty sure

[languid spire]

no you didn't

[cobalt schooner]

well the ones that i had at the start

these are new errors lol

[languid spire]

update is not the same as Update

[cobalt schooner]

the tutorial that i was following did it with a lowercase u for some reason

[languid spire]

find a better tutorial

[cobalt schooner]

yeah that sound like a good idea

[astral falcon]

I suggest the unity tutorials from learn.unity.com . They are quite good to understand the basics about how unity is working

[maiden yarrow]

did u follow tutorials to learn unity?

[cobalt schooner]

alright ill take a look

thanks

[languid spire]

No, I hate tutorials

[maiden yarrow]

then what did u do?

[languid spire]

What every sensible person should do. I read the documentation and experimented a great deal

[maiden yarrow]

wait we should actually read the documentation???

[astral falcon]

Documentation > any tutorial out there

[maiden yarrow]

should have done that😭

thanks

idk I never had to read libraries when I did coding

[eternal needle]

Well they sure as hell didnt write it for fun

[languid spire]

If you want to learn anything to do with development documentation is the only thing you shouldf be reading

[astral falcon]

If you just rely on others peoples knowledge about something instead of the guys invented that something, you just adapt to their faults

[maiden yarrow]

I thought it was like for reference or if u needed something really specific

never thought it was something to actually sit down and read

thanks a bunch

[astral falcon]

everyone did watch tutorials. I even do it today to get the hang of like a new system introduced, but then still going over to the docs, see waht I can do with it. Test, play around and run into errors to understand the dos and donts.

[polar acorn]

Show it

[languid spire]

I am very, very old school, when I was learning all there was to learn from was books

[astral falcon]

If you were able to get those at all 😄

[cobalt schooner]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f473C43s8nE

[maiden yarrow]

I've read a UI unity book it's pretty basic

I guess it depends on the book

[polar acorn]

Which script was it?

[cobalt schooner]

playercam

[maiden yarrow]

yeah don't do delta time it's not needed

[astral falcon]

? What a suggestion 😄

[polar acorn]

Number of times it wasn't exactly like the tutorial: 153
Number of times it was exactly like the tutorial: 5
Number of times the code literally did not exist: 1
2022-07-19 to 2024-3-28```

[verbal dome]

I was waiting for that

[cobalt schooner]

im 100% sure he used a small u one time, maybe it was another script or smth

[polar acorn]

Nope, just checked every script in the video. They're all properly capitalized

[cobalt schooner]

well then im tripping idk

maybe i just thought that it was lowercase since most is lowercase

idk

[polar acorn]

Every function they make in the video starts with a capital letter

[astral falcon]

Whatever, just pay more attention and do not rely on tutorials about how to write proper code

[polar acorn]

Best to know the syntax yourself so even if you end up as one of the unlucky 5 where the tutorial itself is wrong you know what to look out for

[cobalt schooner]

well idk how to start learning coding since it seems like there is unlimited stuff to learn

[modest dust]

Check the pinned resources in this channel

[astral falcon]

Just start. Same suggestion as before. Go to unity learn platform and just learn the basic tutorials. You will get the hang of how unity works and from there you increase your skillset and that will open your abilitiy to try something new, add new knowledge and so on. You cant learn ONE coding thing to have it all. You learn how to use tools to achieve whatever your goal is.

[polar acorn]

There is, but if you learn the building blocks you can assemble them yourself, even if the tutorial leads you wrong

[cobalt schooner]

alright thank you all for your suggestions and help, i'll go figure stuff out now😁

[frigid sequoia]

If... I want to do like a... stackeable effect? Let's say I want the player to gain X buff after killing an enemy for Y secs and I want it to be able to stack up to Z times. How do I do this? Through Coroutines? I would love to have control of if gaining a new stack does reset the duration for previous stacks or not with a bool if possible

[astral falcon]

Sounds like you could use a tick system or just seconds to reduce like a counter on every effect. It should not really matter, if you have an effect once or 10x if you just manage them with a constant tick. So you start the effect on tick 0, the next same effect on tick 2, and they all could last for 3 ticks, on tick 3 two would be active and on tick 4, only the second would run cause the first ran out. If you want them to reset any of the same kind, you could try to check for the same effect in your active effect list and reset all of the same kind if you set the "bool" of your effect to do so.

Even without a tick system, just running down every effect just by deltatime could have the same effect. have a start time, duration and check in your list

[ruby python]

Hi all,

Sooooo, more maths issues. I'm trying to get a 'shield' system working, but having a bugger of a time figuring out my coroutine so that the shield effect fades

IEnumerator ShieldFade()
{
    while(currentShieldVisibility > minShieldVisibility)
    {
        currentShieldVisibility -= Time.deltaTime * shieldFadeSpeed;
        playerMaterial.SetFloat("_Shield_Visibility", currentShieldVisibility);
    }
    if(currentShieldVisibility < minShieldVisibility)
    {
        currentShieldVisibility = minShieldVisibility;
    }

    yield return null;
}

Any ideas where I'm going wrong please? (the shield 'coming on' is outside of the coroutine, this is just the 'fade out' part.

[astral falcon]

I guess, your shield just fades out to "0" immediately?

[polar acorn]

While loops run to completion. There's no yield in it so it's going to run until the condition is false

[ruby python]

Yeah.

[ruby python]

Yep, fixed it. Thank you 🙂

Hi, I am having a problem with Unity's Random, every time I run my game it always produces the same results. Not sure whether I am misunderstanding how to use random. ```

[polar acorn]

Better at least but this is definitely long enough to be in the "Large code blocks" territory

[faint fulcrum]

sorry, new to this lol

[polar acorn]

Is it spawning the same prefab every time, or is it spawning at the same area every time?

[faint fulcrum]

both

i can provide screenshot

it only spawns 2 of the 5 prefabs, and they are always in the same positions

the "crawler" always spawns at the top middle, and the "zombie" always spawns on the top right

none of the others ever spawn

[polar acorn]

Have you tried logging random and seeing if the number you roll ends up any different?

[faint fulcrum]

I think i did

but i will try again

where should i log it?

[polar acorn]

Right after you roll it

See if you get a different number each time

[harsh vault]

Is there a way to sense tiles through tags in unity? Trying to figure out how to do footsteps on 2D side scroller tiles

[faint fulcrum]

same number each time

[astral falcon]

What number is it?

[faint fulcrum]

0.91 and 0.44

they get logged alternately

I think 0.91 corresponds to the crawler and 0.44 to the zombie

[astral falcon]

you could try resetting the random.seed to get a new number

[polar acorn]

I wonder if Invoke might be somehow be like, running the code a single time and re-executing it each time, which means the random seeds are the same.

[opaque kettle]

hey, do any of you guys know why my seeker from the a* pathfinding assets sometimes tries to pathfind through obstacles?

[polar acorn]

Generally, Invoke should be avoided for several reasons, and if it futzes with random that's another one

Try a coroutine instead

[faint fulcrum]

How should i run it on a regular interval then?

ah ok

will test now

thanks

[astral falcon]

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Random.InitState.html

Its called initstate now

[polar acorn]

Start a coroutine that runs SpawnEnemy, then waits for spawnRate seconds, then starts another copy of itself

[swift crag]

Ooh I wonder if this is The Bug

[polar acorn]

Sounds interesting

[swift crag]

Is this a URP project by any chance

[polar acorn]

What is The Bug™️

[faint fulcrum]

yes

[harsh vault]

Basically I want the footstep sounds to change when the player is on a different tile sprite. Idk how to implement it though

[swift elbow]

its going from blue to red? doenst look like its going through any obstacles

[swift crag]

Some of URP's post-processing code calls Random.InitState and winds up giving you a completely predictable random state

https://issuetracker.unity3d.com/issues/random-dot-range-returns-predictable-values-when-used-in-an-urp-project

It sounds like the bug has been fixed, though

What version of Unity are you using?

[polar acorn]

Wow, that's a pretty huge oversight

[faint fulcrum]

2022.3.18f1

[rich adder]

raycast down

[swift crag]

Check if you have an update for the URP package in your package manager. Should be fine in that unity version.

[astral falcon]

And seems like you were right about the invoke taking the same function when repeating, digiholic. It will not regenerate any random.seed and just take the seed it was started with

[faint fulcrum]

Dont think i have an update for it

[polar acorn]

Huh, that's also an annoying oversight. Why does Unity gotta keep mucking with the random seed! That's kind of an important thing to not mess with!

[faint fulcrum]

Just changed the code to use coroutines and same result

still predicatable

[polar acorn]

[astral falcon]

the random seed usually updates on every millisecond just by design, but if you like temporarily store that function in that invocation, you cant access the "new" seed. Not sure if thtas a bug or a feature 😄

[polar acorn]

What's the coroutine code look like?

[astral falcon]

same exact numbers?

[faint fulcrum]

yes

[astral falcon]

ye, show the code

[faint fulcrum]

{
    StartCoroutine(nameof(SpawnEnemy));
}

private IEnumerator SpawnEnemy()
{
    GameObject enemyPrefab = enemyPrefabs[Random.Range(0, enemyPrefabs.Length)];
    float random = Random.value;
    Debug.Log(random);
    if (random < wormChance)
    {
        enemyPrefab = wormPrefab;
        Debug.Log("Worm");
    }
    else if (random < zombieChance)
    {
        enemyPrefab = zombiePrefab;
        Debug.Log("Zombie");
    }
    else if (random < spiderBeetleChance)
    {
        enemyPrefab = spiderBeetlePrefab;
        Debug.Log("SpiderBeetle");
    }
    else if (random < crawlerChance)
    {
        enemyPrefab = crawlerPrefab;
        Debug.Log("Crawler");
    }
    else if (random < crawlerChance)
    {
        enemyPrefab = spiderPrefab;
        Debug.Log("Spider");
    }

    Vector2 position = new Vector2();
    position.x = Random.Range(spawnArea.bounds.min.x, spawnArea.bounds.max.x);
    position.y = Random.Range(spawnArea.bounds.min.y, spawnArea.bounds.max.y);

    Quaternion rotation = Quaternion.identity;

    Instantiate(enemyPrefab, position, rotation);

    yield return new WaitForSeconds(spawnRate);

    StartCoroutine(nameof(SpawnEnemy));
}```

[polar acorn]

Unrelated but you don't need to use nameof for coroutines, you can just do StartCoroutine(SpawnEnemy())

[astral falcon]

I am not quite sure you are running into the same issue as with invocation here as you start it from within itself

[faint fulcrum]

should i use a seperate coroutine to call it then?

[faint fulcrum]

ok

[swift crag]

so to make sure: you currently aren't mucking with Random.InitState, correct?

[faint fulcrum]

correct

[astral falcon]

you can try to set that initstate to a new value based on the current time for example

[swift crag]

and you don't happen to be using splines?

i also found a bug with a specific spline component a while ago

that vanished from the Atlassian bug tracker page so I have no idea what happened to that report

[faint fulcrum]

dont know what a spline is lol]

[faint fulcrum]

how would i do that?

[astral falcon]

can you try Random.InitState(System.DateTime.Now.Millisecond);

[faint fulcrum]

should this go in the coroutine?

[astral falcon]

yep, just at the start

[swift crag]

What's the exact version of the URP package you have installed?

[faint fulcrum]

this has helped somewhat

but it is still mroe predicatable than should be

[faint fulcrum]

14.0.10

It now looks like this

some enemies still spawn one the same position

and are the same type

eg in bottom left

two black enemies on same position

[swift crag]

well, since you're seeding with the current time, that will happen if two or more enemies spawn at once

[faint fulcrum]

they dont spawn at once

they spawn a second apart

[astral falcon]

do you get the exact same number on those two?

[faint fulcrum]

yes

[polar acorn]

If multiple things start the coroutine at the same time, each "tick" of it will sync up between them

Since before, when the seed was fixed, you had two different numbers, I'm pretty sure you have two spawners

[faint fulcrum]

i only have one spawner in the scene

and enemies are only spawned one at a time, for each time the coroutine is run

[astral falcon]

I guess milliseconds is not the best to be used here, as every second could have the same millisecond returned if you run the spawnrate at a second span. Whats your spawnrate set to?

can you just get rid of milliseconds and use .Now?

[faint fulcrum]

spawnrate is 1

good popint

[astral falcon]

thought so.

yeah, try to alter the spawnrate and also use .Now. that should get some more randomness in it

[faint fulcrum]

what is syntax for just now

just remove .milliseconds

[faint fulcrum]

after getting rid of milliseconds it doesnt like it

[astral falcon]

oh, whats the error?

nope

[astral falcon]

oh its long, right. hm, lets read the docs 😄

[swift crag]

okay, I see that URP 14.0.9's changelog acknowledges the fix

Use local random state for post-processing.

[faint fulcrum]

cool

[astral falcon]

can you set (int) in front of that system.... ?

[faint fulcrum]

like how/

[astral falcon]

Random.InitState((int)System.DateTime.Now.Ticks);

[faint fulcrum]

thanks

[astral falcon]

Might fail too, just fiddeling around in discord right now 😄

[short hazel]

Ticks is probably a huge value (one that surpasses the max value of int) so be aware that this will make it loop back around to negative values, or the cast will blatantly fail, not sure which

[faint fulcrum]

it works now

thanks so much guys

[harsh vault]

Yoooo no way I actually figured out how to use a raycast and tags to get it to play on certain sprites

[faint fulcrum]

all the logs are different

[astral falcon]

Nice, but be aware of what SPR2 said. It might fail at some point, but you get the hang of what to lookout for now 🙂

[short hazel]

It's way bigger than an int (638472563476759027) at the time I got its value, so yep it loops back to negatives, but doesn't throw a cast exception

So you're most likely safe in terms of getting duplicate values on different runs

[faint fulcrum]

ok

cheers everyone

[swift crag]

note that this is pretty abnormal

we've bumped into another bug in a unity package or in some other code you're using

[hazy crypt]

hey guys, just a real small thing here, im trying to get the name of the current scene. After some looking, I think im meant to be using Scene.name to get this, but Im getting literally no options for the Scene struct

I have declared "Using UnityEngine.SceneManagement" at the top of the script

I know yall hate screenshots but it best demonstrates what I mean here

[astral falcon]

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/SceneManagement.SceneManager.GetActiveScene.html

[muted wadi]

is the start position minus the end position divided by 2 the midpoint?

[hazy crypt]

if youre talking about vectors, yes adding two vectors and halfing the result is aleays the middle

[hazy crypt]

thanks so much! now I just feel silly lol

[astral falcon]

the summary, not the subtraction.

[swift sedge]

(start - end) normalised will be the distance, divided by two will be the midpoint, yes

[muted wadi]

i see

thanks

[astral falcon]

dont subtract it. You just get false results

[hazy crypt]

If Jeremy is standing 1 metre away from you and Kevin is standing two metres away from you, adding together Jeremy and Kevin (1 +2) and halfing the result ((1 + 2)/2) will tell you that 1.5 metres is the middle of Jeremy and Kevin

Thats how i think about it

[astral falcon]

yep, good explanation

[swift sedge]

I would do a thorough read on mathematical vectors

[hazy crypt]

Oh hell yeah, vectors are very sexy once youre invested in game dev

[muted wadi]

nah i know about vectors but im just horrid at maths so whenever i do a calculation and it doesn't work i cry

[swift sedge]

Quaternions: "Let me introduce myself."

[hazy crypt]

dont feel bad for googling these things, all the math youll ever need has been done before and is usually explained somehwere obvious

I use Brilliant, the learning app, quite often

[swift sedge]

think about how the Lerp function was made

or bezier curves

[hazy crypt]

Yeah super cool

[muted wadi]

using bezier curves rn

[swift sedge]

and random is just made by a bunch of numbers stuck together

[hazy crypt]

I made my own b spline script once in a agme engine that only had basic calculations

One of my proudest moments

[swift sedge]

inverse kinematics are sick

[hazy crypt]

Not relevant to this channel anymore though and I dont wanna be told off

fair thougj

[tender stag]

can someone just point me in the right direction?

i wanna make my own scroll rect

but a really simple one

which just uses scrolling

no dragging or scrollbars or anything else

[polar acorn]

Why make your own?

[astral falcon]

You can just delete those objects (sliders etc) and they are gone

[polar acorn]

Why reinvent the wheel?

[tender stag]

im using OnDrag OnBeginDrag etc interfaces

for my inventory system

messes everything up

since scroll rect uses the same thing

trust me i tried everything

overriding the scroll rect OnBeginDrag etc

[swift sedge]

how do you think other games managed to pull it off?

[tender stag]

probably made their own scroll rect

or didnt use OnDrag interfaces

[astral falcon]

and what will it listen to?

[tender stag]

for inventory system

[astral falcon]

how you know if you drag the rect if not us ing ondrag or similar

[tender stag]

"no dragging"

i just wannt use scrolling

on the mouse

to move content up and down

[muted wadi]

yo based af for explaining that, thanks. I just managed to get it working

[tender stag]

so it doesnt go above or beyond its bounds

thats it

[muted wadi]

my issue was half the problem, the other half was misunderstanding the bezier

[hazy crypt]

No worries, happy to help 🙂

[hazy crypt]

Can you disable certain inouts when hovering over the scrolling thingy

[astral falcon]

you could disable the interaction of it but still get the mousewheel input to scroll the scrollrect

[tender stag]

tried

[hazy crypt]

Im not sure what youre trying to achieve but that seems like one solution

[tender stag]

too complicated and breaks other things

[hazy crypt]

Thast not so good

[tender stag]

i just wanna make a simple script which moves content up or down

depending on scrollSensivity

and so it doesnt go above or below where it can

we dont have to get into the detail why

i tried everything trust

[tender stag]

which would be the viewport

[astral falcon]

Well, sounds like you being kinda prejudiced about whats possible and whats not. Just cause you cant figure it out, doesnt mean, its not possible and more robust if you do it right with the builtin components. Can you explain exactly, what the user should be able to do with your scrolling inventory and the items in it?

[swift sedge]

you can use Clamp for that, but I don't think creating a custom scroll rect is the only solution. That's the last case scenario you want to be in, trust me

[tender stag]

all i want is the player to be able to scrolldown this list

no dragging

no scrollbars

not anything excesive

[astral falcon]

Then its just some math you gotta do to get the size of the rect, the anchoredposition in relation to the screen and the overlapping so you know, what your min and max values are where you can lerp to with your mousewheel adding or subtracting

you got a mask image, thats your like 100% value. And the underlying content, which is your actual size to compare against. if its 120% for example, you can lerp between -20% on top or 0 to be at default position. kinda like that

[tender stag]

yeah i get what u mean

[astral falcon]

it will still be a pain in the b to do that and make it feel smooth with all that inertia and easing I guess. but ye, that should do the trick

[swift sedge]

would clamping work as well?

setting the position to be between min and max

[muted wadi]

is it possible to only use the top half of a Random.insideUnitCircle?

[astral falcon]

check against the y position and see if its above?

[muted wadi]

i tried something similar and it didn't work

[polar acorn]

Get the random, then set the Y value to the absolute value of itself

If it's in the top half, it'll be unchanged. If it's in the bottom half, it'll mirror it to the top

[tender stag]

i got this so far

now i just need to clamp it

[muted wadi]

im not sure what you mean by that

[polar acorn]

insideUnitCircle returns a Vector2. Store that.

[astral falcon]

you could also keep lerping to the clamped target position to get that nice bouncing at the end of the clamp values and make it kinda smoother

[muted wadi]

{
    startPos = transform.position;
    endPos = master.targetLock.position;
    midPoint = (startPos + endPos) / 2;

    randomDir = Random.insideUnitCircle * 12;
    curvePoint = randomDir += midPoint;
}``` this is what im doing right now, how would i set the y value?

[polar acorn]

Set the y component's value to the absolute value of the y component

[swift sedge]

absolute returns the number without the negative

[muted wadi]

oh

[polar acorn]

Store the result of the random first, then abs the y, then multiply it

[muted wadi]

so i would abs randomDir after it gets random?

[polar acorn]

The y component

Unless you also want it to only be in the front half as well

[tender stag]

yeah i will

[astral falcon]

You basically use all random points of the circle but transform the lower half ones to be ones in the upper half with making y positive

[muted wadi]

wait im lost

how do I abs the y component

[astral falcon]

Mathf.Abs(y)

[muted wadi]

oh right

[frank forge]

How would you move a game object without explicitly changing its transform value? I need the object to still collide with colliders but it just passes right through them if I change the transform

[polar acorn]

CharacterController or Rigidbody

[muted wadi]

ok i think i got it, thanks guys

[astral falcon]

Moving a transform is like teleporting it and ignoring all physics checks

[tender stag]

i have no idea how to clamp it tho

like the anchorpoints etc

[astral falcon]

anchoredPosition needs to be clamped to fit the mask overlap of your content. test around with values, you will get there

[muted wadi]

i always wondered how moving in a digital space wasn't always teleporting, considering you're constantly teleporting it in tiny increments to give the illusion of smooth movement. Are functions like moveTowards not considered teleporting because they do physics checks?

[astral falcon]

That sounds like meta thinking for a good wine talk in the evening 😄 But basically yes, if you move the rigidbody or add force to it, it will consider physics checks before "teleporting" (as you might say) to the new possible position

[swift crag]

It's not that you're moving in discrete intervals.

It's that you're leaving the physics system in the dark.

[fair steeple]

Hey, I'm learning the new input system. I'm trying to get an "OnKeyUp" thing going on butI can't sue the event "cancelled". It does print "OnDownwards" but not "DownwardsUp"

    private void OnEnable()
    {
        playerInput.actions["Downwards"].performed += OnDownwards;
    }

    private void OnDisable()
    {
        playerInput.actions["Downwards"].performed -= OnDownwards;
    }
    public void OnDownwards(InputAction.CallbackContext context)
    {
        print("OnDownwards");
        if (context.canceled)
        {
            print("DownwardsUP");
        }
    }

[swift crag]

rigidbody.position = whatever;

This tells the rigidbody that it needs to move to that position in the next physics update

[swift crag]

you will never received a canceled callback

[astral falcon]

#🖱️┃input-system

[swift crag]

you only subscribed to performed

[fair steeple]

I see

I'm new to events

Thanks

[muted wadi]

ah i see.

[fair steeple]

I'll use that next, thank you

[swift crag]

transform.position = whatever;

This will immediately move the transform. The rigidbody learns about this during the next physics update, and it just assumes that it was already in that position.

note that setting rigidbody.position is teleporting it -- it doesn't try to handle collisions between the original position and the new position

rigidbody.MovePosition(whatever) will ask it to move to the destination as if it just had a very high velocity

[swift elbow]

Wouldn't moving IRL also be considered teleporting since atoms are being moved at increments above planck length 😵‍💫

[swift crag]

Also, if you have Interpolate enabled on the rigidbody, setting the transform's position might not even work at all

Interpolate causes it to set the transform's position every frame

It doesn't expect you to have messed with the position, so it just ignores whatever the current position is

[muted wadi]

i dont consider it that way. In real life everything has a measurable motion, no matter how tiny. But in the digital world, we can only measure speed down to a certain number of stored bits, so movement measured on a scale lower than that is teleporting. At least that's how i interpret it

[astral falcon]

Something to be discussed elsewhere I guess 😄

[muted wadi]

yeah, interesting topic though

[tender stag]

i clamped the max up position

how can i clamp the lower one now?

calculate the maxScrollDownPosition i mean

[astral falcon]

You can only scroll up from the beginning, right? Like in terms of the rect, it can only go up when it sits on default

[tender stag]

what do you mean

[astral falcon]

If you look at your rect of your content. you can only move it up from start, right? youcant move it down cause there is no content. so if you scroll it up by lets say 100px, you can also scroll it back down 100px, not further. Not sure you get what I mean

[tender stag]

i put this targetPosition.y = Mathf.Max(targetPosition.y, maxScrollUpPosition);

just to show u

[summer stump]

They're just making the point that in real life we can only measure down to the plank length, because movement in real life is quantized

[tender stag]

i cant have the orange going higher than red

[astral falcon]

Than you have to check the difference of your mask height and your content height

[tender stag]

so literally just that

[muted wadi]

yeah i get that. The way i see it though is that even if we can only measure down to planck length, its assumed there is a scale even lower than that. The same can't be said for digital.

[tender stag]

viewport is this

[summer stump]

Ah, that is incorrect. There is assumed to be NO scale lower than that. Real objects move at the planck scale. It is quantized, which is where the name for quantum physics comes from

[swift elbow]

@summer stump did you block me? 😭 what did i do 😭

[tender stag]

lmao

[muted wadi]

wait really?

[summer stump]

Yes

[muted wadi]

there's nothing below planck?

[summer stump]

According to our current understanding of quantum physics

[swift crag]

something something 11-dimensional manifolds

[summer stump]

STRING THEORIST! 😂

[swift crag]

i am a reformed string theory fan

anyway, scripting:

[swift elbow]

i actually got blocked, my life is over 😔

[muted wadi]

oh i see, i looked it up because i thought quarks were smaller than planck length but they're like way bigger

[tender stag]

@swift crag sorry to budge in, but u know ui pretty well, how do i get the position of the red dot?

its using strech

[swift crag]

I'm not that great at calculating that stuff via script. I should really figure it out already

RectTransform.rect is the shape of the RectTransform

[astral falcon]

You just get the preferredSize of it

[swift crag]

(in its own local space)

[swift crag]

this sounds like a LayoutElement thing

rect transforms do not have minimum or preferred sized

[astral falcon]

I am sure he will be using some grid layout element sooner or later. But ye, if its fixed, rect.height works too

[swift crag]

I suppose you'd want to use Rect.NormalizedToPoint to get the local-space position of the bottom-center of the rect, then use transform.TransformPoint to turn that into a world-space position

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Rect.NormalizedToPoint.html

you'd ask for the point at [0.5, 1]

[astral falcon]

world space position? For what? He just wants to get the local y position and the height to clamp the y position to its height within the viewport rect

[swift crag]

ah, I interpreted "position" as being in world space by default

[muted wadi]

how can i make it so that when the player clicks, a thing happens, but when they hold, a different thing happens? Currently both things are happening even if they click or hold.

[astral falcon]

Are you using the new or old input system?

[muted wadi]

which is the old one

[rich adder]

use a timer

[muted wadi]

is that really the most efficient way? I was really hoping there was something else i was overlooking

[astral falcon]

Are you using Input.GetKeyDown or something in your scripts or do you have an input asset for your actions?

[muted wadi]

input.getkeydown

[rich adder]

Its just one way to do it, the simplest I could think of

[astral falcon]

Id say, learn the new input system right now. Best time to do so if you are not in a hurry with your project

[muted wadi]

is the new input system just that weird sphere with a thunderbolt in it as the icon?

because i've seen it before and i've heard how complicated it is

[astral falcon]

Wth? I dont know the icon of it 😄

Well, if you wanna stick to the old one, you might use a timer as navarone said

[muted wadi]

guess i will. I hate using timers so much, they're so messy

[astral falcon]

as well as code is with the old input system 😄

[muted wadi]

daily struggle

[rich adder]

if(Input.GetKey(theKey))
{
    timer += Time.deltaTime;
}else if (Input.GetKeyUp(theKey))
{
    if(timer >= certainHeldThreshold)
    {
        //do held thing
    }
    else
    {
        //do clicky thing
    }
    timer = 0;
}```
something like this myba

[muted wadi]

alright downloading the new input system, it better blow my socks off

[swift crag]

it's pretty neat

[muted wadi]

oh thats way less complicated than i was planning to make it

[acoustic sun]

How do I reset the layout?

[rocky canyon]

top right corner (Layout) button

[acoustic sun]

Im using my right click but again, I am not too familiar with unity

[acoustic sun]

Can you show me where it is?

[rocky canyon]

its not hiding, its as top right as u can go w/o being on the close/maximize buttons

click it and go to Reset Layout.. that will reset all the windows

[acoustic sun]

Okay. Thank you so much for the tip

[hazy crypt]

Hey guys, a quick one, do playerPrefs get reset when reloading the scene they were set in?

If they dont then I got some bug finding to do lol

[short hazel]

They don't, unless you explicitly do so via code

[rocky canyon]

once u set the value, its there

[hazy crypt]

Damn that complicates things

Okay let me show you guys what im doing

[polar acorn]

Not resetting is kind of their entire job

[hazy crypt]

// check and set player PB, change personal best text to reflect new records
        if (PlayerPrefs.GetFloat(levelName + "PB") < finalTimerTime && raceEnd == true)
        {
            PlayerPrefs.SetFloat(levelName + "PB", finalTimerTime);
            personalBestText.text = ("New Personal Best!");
        }
        else
        {
            personalBestText.text = ("Personal Best");
        }

Im making an arcade racer

I want to store the personal best time between attempts and im reloading the scene for my "quick restart" function as im assuming thats the best way to do it.

So im comparing the previous PB to the current run finish time, then updating it ifs lower. thats the intent

[short hazel]

Your PB condition looks backwards, it should save a timer that is lower than the saved one, not the inverse

Unless the longer you take, the better it is

[hazy crypt]

No youre correct

Ill change it now

It was overwriting either way previously though, maybe that wont happen once changed

Yeah I just got a 5s time and it got overwritten by a 6s time

Ill do some investigating

[queen adder]

begginer here. how can I stop the player from moving when touching something, it rotates forward or backward

2d

for example I make a coin and when i touch it I can make the player rotate

[muted wadi]

how would i create a circle of positions equal distance from each other along the edge?

is there a math function that lets me do that?

[eternal needle]

not sure if theres any built in functions for it, but its easy math.
r is the radius of the circle. take how many positions you want, lets say thats n. 360/n = how many degrees apart these should be in the circle
your angle will go from 0 to 360, increasing by 360/n. your formula is r * (cos(angle), sin(angle))

that math is in degrees, but you will need to use radians for mathf.sin

[quartz mural]

hi im making a pokemon game and all was going well but now my encoutner pokemon oes not work anymore

[muted wadi]

alright i'll give that a go

[swift elbow]

debug.log is free

[ember tangle]

Why do I access a GameObjects layer with gameObject.layer instead of this.layer?

[swift elbow]

"this" is used to reference the script

[swift elbow]

https://forum.unity.com/threads/the-use-of-this-in-c.478441/

[timber tide]

if it's inside of the same gameobject's script you can just use layer right it's part of GO not obj

ah, actually you do need to reference gameobject still

[ember tangle]

I thought that 'this' was used to target an instance of the object

but I think I understand what you guys are saying

instance of script vs instance of GameObject right?

[timber tide]

this is useful for when you are inside of a method where you declared similar reference names, but 'this' keyword will always point the the current instance's member scope

[eternal needle]

it is, its just that "object" here means c# object. not a game object

[ember tangle]

thanks!

[queen adder]

how to send the code

properly

[ember tangle]

so gameObject will always target the instance of the GameObject the script is attached to?

[swift elbow]

is it not possible to start a coroutine from getComponent?

[rich adder]

Just make a public method that starts the coroutine from within the class

[muted wadi]

oh yeah that works too

but how come coroutines dont start from getComponent?

am i doing it wrong?

[rich adder]

Wdym they don’t start form GetComponent

[eternal needle]

GetComponent is a function, to get a component. you can then start a coroutine however you like

[muted wadi]

{
    fb.GetComponent<FireballBehaviour>().HomingAttack(targetLock);
}``` doing this doesn't work for me

[rich adder]

That’s not how you start coroutiens that’s why

[muted wadi]

i get no errors but it also just doesn't work

[rich adder]

Nothing to do with getcomponent

[muted wadi]

how would i start it from getComponent?

seems much more convenient

[eternal needle]

is your IDE configured? it should be telling you the fix for this, that is to use
https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/MonoBehaviour.StartCoroutine.html

[muted wadi]

i get no errors

[rich adder]

Because there is no syntax error

[eternal needle]

look at the docs on fb it should be telling you something

[queen adder]

 void Update()
 {
     kretnja();

 }

 public void kretnja()
 {
     if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.RightArrow) == true)
     {
         igrac.velocity = Vector2.right * speed;
     }

     
     


     if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.LeftArrow) == true)
     {
         igrac.velocity = Vector2.left * speed;

     }
     


     if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.UpArrow) == true && Grounded)
     {
         igrac.velocity = Vector2.up * JumpStrength;

     }

[rich adder]

You’re just not calling it with the startcoroutine

[muted wadi]

ohhh

[muted wadi]

when i try to call it with startcoroutine it doesn't register my method name

[slender nymph]

it's technically not wrong to call a method that returns IEnumerator like that. it's just wrong if you want it to be a coroutine

[rich adder]

It’s more of a pain starting coroutine from another class

Just called the public method that will startCoroutine

[rich adder]

Cause then you also have to pass the MB

Yes

[queen adder]

I made the script for movement, however when I touch an upright block or anything similar, I can rotate the player while touching that block, I want my player to be upright at all times.

[muted wadi]

alright i'll just make a method for it

[rich adder]

You need fb.getComponent<FireWhatevrr>().StartCoroutine(fb. getComponent<FireWhatevrr>() .HomingAttack())
or whatever

[summer stump]

() is required unless you do it as a string (which you should not)

[swift elbow]

lock rotation in the rigidbody component

[muted wadi]

tried that already, doesnt fix it

[summer stump]

Oh, you have to use dot notation from the reference, and still use the ()
Look at what nav said

Do GetComponent on its own line

[quartz mural]

one thing i dont understand

ive set the game objects

to their sprites

in the inspector

[queen adder]

thanks!

[swift elbow]

i love context

[lavish bay]

hey yall, I'm having an issue with an animator controller where it's advancing through a clip despite not having a criteria to do so. could i get something to check it out?

[quartz mural]

the trainer sprite doesnt come up?

[lavish bay]

here's a short vid of my situation. I have a clip where something holds being hidden, one where it animates to being visible, another where it holds visible, and another where it disappears again. I have the two hold states set to have no exit time and only triggers for leaving the state. However, when I play back, it exits from disappeared anyway

[queen adder]

also one thing, if I jump and hold left or right arrow to move to the side, I start gliding in the air and fall very slowly, how can I change that? I want to make my character be able to move in the air but for a very short time. I just want to limit the horizontal movement while in air. @swift elbow

[swift elbow]

add mass or add a gravity variable in your code

[quartz mural]

oh fixed it

[queen adder]

If I add mass to the rigidbody 2d component nothing happens, it is still the same

[rocky canyon]

add linear drag to stop it from gliding

may want to dampen the velocity towards 0 when not giving inputs

not sure.. can also turn up the gravity scale to fall faster

[queen adder]

yes, but the thing is it stops falling as soon as I press right arrow to move right, I mean it falls but very very slowly

[rocky canyon]

should fall the same speed if ur only giving it force in the right direction.. sounds like you might be adding forces elsewhere..

[swift crag]

I'm guessing you're changing the Y velocity when you move from side to side.

Notably, if you set your velocity to Vector3.right * moveInput * moveSpeed, you're going to completely lose your Y velocity

Each physics update will move you down slightly because gravity accelerates you a tiny bit

            Vector2 randomDirection = Random.insideUnitCircle * shakeStrength;
            armature.position = originalPosition + randomDirection;

            elapsedTime += Time.deltaTime;
            yield return null;
        }
        armature.position = Vector2.zero;
        stunlocked = false;
    }

why isnt the armature transform moving?

[swift crag]

is armature animated?

[stuck palm]

armature itself shouldnt move, there are no keyframes for it

armature is the root object of the armature

[queen adder]

this is my whole movement script

[stuck palm]

@swift crag scratch that it is animated LOL

[swift crag]

that'll do it

[stuck palm]

its got a default position

nothing else

[swift crag]

and remember that the presence of any animation state having an animation clip that sets the position will mean the animator always writes to the position

even if you've never been to that state yet

[stuck palm]

zamn so i gotta go through all my animation clips to delete the position then?

[swift crag]

You can also modify the position in LateUpdate.

You'd just add to the position every frame the shaking is happening

since the animator will be resetting the position every frame

[stuck palm]

how can i do late update with an enumerator though?

[rocky canyon]

if(stunlocked){shake();}

[stuck palm]

honestly might just be easier to delete the positions in the animation clips, as they are never used and its always set to 0,0 anyways

[swift crag]

hmm, the coroutine could just record values that you then use in LateUpdate

there's no convenient way to do that with coroutines

I've made my own "coroutines" before

[stuck palm]

so i dont think i'll be breaking anything

[swift crag]

literally just making a list of IEnumerator and calling MoveNext on them all at the right moment

[tender stag]

how can i have both of these and make the scrollbar work? this is what it looks like now

[stuck palm]

what is the enumerator class anyway?

[tender stag]

the scrollbar updates, but i cant use it because i grayed out the OnScrollbarValueChanged

and if i dont gray it out, i cant move the scrollbar or scroll down with the mouse
only one of them works at the same time

[swift crag]

Methods that return IEnumerator get some special treatment from the compiler

They get turned into a class that stores all of the information needed to remember where you are in the method

An IEnumerator represents something you can enumerate over

An IEnumerable is something that can give you an IEnumerator

(so you can enumerate over it many times)

IEnumerator is non-generic, so it just gives you a sequence of objects

(that's why you can yield return all kinds of stuff from a coroutine method)

IEnumerator<T> is the generic version, which provides a specific kind of object

and IEnumerable<T> is something that can give you an IEnumerator<T>

List<T> is a very common example of something that is IEnumerable<T>

foreach (var what in list) { Debug.Log(what); }

you could've also done

IEnumerator<int> enumerator = list.GetEnumerator();

while (enumerator.MoveNext()) {
  Debug.Log(enumerator.Current);
}

Unity uses IEnumerators to implement coroutines.

[tender stag]

i need like a bool to control if im currently using the scrollbar

[swift crag]

You call a method that returns IEnumerator and pass the result to StartCoroutine

[swift crag]

It then calls MoveNext() on your enumerator until it runs out of values

if the current value is something special, like an instance of WaitForSeconds, it can do different things

but if you discount that, then coroutines are pretty much just...

List<IEnumerator> coroutines;

void Update() {
  coroutines.RemoveAll(coroutine => !coroutine.MoveNext());
}

public void StartCoroutine(IEnumerator coroutine) {
  if (coroutine.MoveNext())
    coroutines.Add(coroutine);
}

(unity immediately calls MoveNext on the enumerator you give it)

[stuck palm]

thats pretty cool

thanks for the easily digestible info 😄

[swift crag]

When you call an IEnumerator method, it does absolutely nothing

I used to think it ran until the first yield

it does not! but if you pass it to StartCoroutine, then it'll get MoveNext() called on it immediately

[tender stag]

how can i detect if a scrollbar is being held

i tried placing an event trigger on the handle with OnPointerDown and OnPointerUp and calling a method which sets a bool either true or false

but having an event trigger component on the handle messes with the scrollbar and doesnt allow me to scroll at all

[dense mica]

Howdy folks. I usually develop and debug with MS VS 2022. But since updating to 2022.3 my 2D projects are taking much longer to connect the debugger to, and hitting breakpoints takes 5-10 seconds where everything just freezes. Before I go scorched earth on this computer, does anyone have tips for how to get things working well again?

[amber spruce]

hey so how exactly would i have it so i call a function and i have it return a value so for example i want it when i attack a enemy it will trigger their damage function and if they die it will return a bool saying true that way i can store how many kills the player has

[rocky canyon]

//example code
public bool TakeDamage(int damageAmount)
{
    health -= damageAmount;
    if (health <= 0)
    {
        Die();
        return true;
    }
    return false;
}```

[summer stump]

On top of that, I usually do an out with a struct of data including name of the enemy killed and perhaps points it gives. That way I can have a kill list for each unit. That can just be fun for strategy games when some super low level unit steals the kill on a heavy high level unit. Like "tf, that worker killed a tank?!"

[rocky canyon]

ya, not knowing his setup i did bare basics.. id probably have a manager where i pass in the enemy and return his health maybe.. but my enemy scripts usually take care of their own stuff if they die.. they would tell a gamemanager about it instead of my attack knowing bout it

[potent nymph]

I have the following HLSL code for a custom function in shader graph, which works perfectly fine (basically just the sample texture 2D node at the moment)

#ifndef BIOMES
#define BIOMES

void Biomes_float(UnityTexture2D Tex, UnitySamplerState SS, float2 UV, out float4 Out) {
    Out = SAMPLE_TEXTURE2D(Tex, SS, UV);
}

#endif

however, UnityTexture2D and UnitySamplerState are not defined types, so my code editor is complaining

Cannot resolve type: 'UnityTexture2D'

[slender nymph]

#archived-shaders

[potent nymph]

is this not a beginner question?

[slender nymph]

it's a shader question

[potent nymph]

I understand that it's for a shader, but my question is about how to resolve the type error. I'll repost the question regardless

[north kiln]

To be clear, shader programming is different to general coding in Unity, which is why it's not really suited to this channel

[torn marlin]

Does OnTriggerEnter work with character controller?

thats why im asking bro @slender nymph

I tried it

[slender nymph]

well if you tried it then you should have seen that it does, in fact, work

[torn marlin]

No it does not

[slender nymph]

then you've set something up incorrectly

[torn marlin]

see, my player is controlled charactercontroller, im trying to make a checkpoint system and attached a checkpoint script to the checkpoint object with isTrigger turned

[swift elbow]

does your player have a collider?

[torn marlin]

Yes

[slender nymph]

the CC is a collider

and is also what will produce the OnTriggerEnter message

what have you actually done to check whether OnTriggerEnter is being called

[torn marlin]

Debug.Log()

In the collision condition

[slender nymph]

show your code

[torn marlin]

ok

[slender nymph]

and both objects involved in the trigger overlap

[torn marlin]

!code ```public class Checkpoint : MonoBehaviour
{
private void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other)
{
if(other.gameObject.tag == "Player")
{
Debug.Log("Checkpoint set");
GameManager.Instance.SetCheckpoint(transform.position);
}
}
}

[torn marlin]

@slender nymph

[slender nymph]

well for starters, you aren't actually confirming that OnTriggerEnter is being called with that log. and you should also be using the CompareTag method rather than string equality to check tags

[torn marlin]

nvm it works now

thanks

[quick kelp]

hey been messing around with fmod and im trying to play a sound for every time the player selects a slot
realized after implementing a debug.log that the sound constantly plays cause its in the void update
ive tried a few thing but at this point i need some advice https://hastebin.com/share/ipugagejom.csharp

[slender nymph]

instead of manually checking for a selected object, you could instead implement the ISelectHandler interface on some component on those selectable objects and just play the sound when an object is selected

[wintry quarry]

just play it when you select a new object

[slender nymph]

https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.ugui@2.0/api/UnityEngine.EventSystems.ISelectHandler.html

[wintry quarry]

That's the better way ^
A simple if statement here would have worked too:

if (selectedGameObject != null && _selected != selectedGameObject) {
  _selected = selectedGameObject;
  // play sound here
}

Hi, I'm currently trying to create an inventory system, but I'm encountering a problem. When I try to initialise the inventory, the boxes for the items instantiate but their parent is not defined because "the definition of the parent of a transformation that resides in a Prefab Asset is disabled to avoid data corruption" and I don't understand why I can't define this parent.

ItemUi (boxes for the items) might being instantiate in the panel "Items"

Can someone help me ? I added some pictures and a few code snippets

[slender nymph]

if your contentPanel variable in UI_InventoryPage refers to a prefab that won't work, you need to assign a scene object as the parent

[hidden geyser]

Content panel is part of a prefab. I already tried to assign a empty gameObject as the parent but it didn't work, I had the same console error

[slender nymph]

Content panel is part of a prefab.
well there's the issue. it must be an object in the scene. is it perhaps part of the same object that your UI_InventoryPage component is part of?

[wintry quarry]

your code doesn't make sense then. Why would you try to instantiate an object as the child of a prefab?

Also, Instantiate allows the parent to be passed in directly to the Instantiate call. Setting the parent during instantiation is the best way for UI elements to get proper layout.

[brave wharf]

Hey guys! Im trying to have my enemies respawn if the player has to respawn as well and having a bit of trouble. Heres a few screenshots of the code im using. Any help will be much appreciated!

Content panel is part of "inventory" prefab, which contain UI_InventoryPage script.

[hidden geyser]

I actually don't know that I can do that. How is it possible ?

[slender nymph]

okay and does the InventoryController object have a reference to that UI_InventoryPage prefab, or does it reference the one in the scene? if the former, that's the problem

[wintry quarry]

Read the docs for Instantiate.
Instantiate(prefab, position, rotation, parent)

[wintry quarry]

Ok here's your actual problem

You are calling InitializeInventoryUi on your prefab reference

you need to actually instantiate the prefab, then call InitializeInventoryUI on the instance

alternatively, if InventoryController is supposed to reference the copy already in the scene, it needs to actually refernece that copy, not the prefab itself

[brave wharf]

Sorry about that! Well i have it so when the player dies, the game fades to black and the player respawns at a checkpoint. However any enemies that were defeated before the death stay defeated, and im trying to find a way to have them respawn as well. Ive tried giving them the player tag and creating a new enemy tag to get them to respawn but to no avail.

[wintry quarry]

Either:

• Simply reload the whole scene
• Keep a list of the enemies that died. Respawn all the enemies in this list when respawning the player

[hidden geyser]

Okay, I'll try that when I get home. Thanks !

[brave wharf]

How would i go about making a list for the enemies?

[wintry quarry]

List<WhateverYourEnemyScriptIsCalled> or List<GameObject>

[brave wharf]

Oh okay! And then how would i make them respawn? Thats where ive been having a bit of a problem

[wintry quarry]

that depends on what "respawn" means for you

presumably just set them active and set their positions back to their spawn positions

basically - reset everything that needs to be reset.

[brave wharf]

Oh gotcha. Ill give that a try along with the list. Thanks!

[unborn hound]

Hey yall, I'm working on a movement system for my first VR game in unity. It's physics based for a number of reasons, and I need to use the AddForce method on the player rigidbody to get the movement I want.
So far I've got pretty much everything settled until I add more features, but there's this one problem that's been bugging me.
When the player is on the ground, a high velocity naturally slows due to friction, but in the air its velocity is almost unchanging. I want players to have a small amount of control in the air to help them land where they want, but I also don't want them to speed up their horizontal movement too much while falling. The code I ended up with to try and solve this would theoretically allow the player to use the joystick on their controller to increase or slow their movement if below a certain speed, and only slow their movement, but not increase it if above that speed.
Of course, I wouldn't be here if it worked so I'd appreciate some advice on what I need to change to allow it to work correctly.

{
    Body.AddForce(newForce, ForceMode.Acceleration);
}```
CurrentSpeed and XZSpeed are Vector2's, and XZSpeed is the x and z components of the newForce Vector3

[twilit pilot]

intuitively:

1. Get the max of the current velocity magnitude and the speed the player can manually accelerate themselves to
2. Add the input force to the player, as an impulse (or directly combine with the velocity)
3. Clamp the new velocity by [1]

[wintry quarry]

You need to account for direction

[twilit pilot]

how so?

[wintry quarry]

full force should be allowed if it would slow the player down

as per the question

[twilit pilot]

yeah, it would fall within the clamp if so

[wintry quarry]

Basically you will need to use vector projections

You can't do 3.

if you do 3. then external forces can't accelerate you past the max velocity either

though I guess it's not clear if that's a requirement or not.

[unborn hound]

yes the max velocity isn't a hard limit

it's a limit to the player increasing it further

[wintry quarry]

yeah. I actually have an asset in progress to do exactly this, it's not quite ready yet though.

[unborn hound]

i had a method previously that did that but it would slow the player down if you attempted to move forward past the max velocity which isn't ideal

[wintry quarry]

the math is actually quite annoying

[unborn hound]

dang, i thought itd be simpler lol

can anyone explain why (CurrentSpeed + XZSpeed).magnitude < CurrentSpeed.magnitude
doesn't work though?

im fairly new to vector math stuff lol

[wintry quarry]

well it's unclear what those things are

[twilit pilot]

this is why you do #1 - if the player is already moving at a high speed, moving in that direction wont reduce it

[unborn hound]

Current speed is the horizontal velocity vector of the rigidbody
XZSpeed is the horizontal vector of newForce
newForce is movement direction (obtained from the analog stick and the look direction) * the sprint force

[wintry quarry]

well for one, simply adding XZSpeed is not the same as Body.AddForce(newForce, ForceMode.Acceleration);

it would have to be + XZSpeed * Time.fixedDeltaTime

they would be equivalent if you use ForceMode.VelocityChange

[unborn hound]

wait that makes so much sense, it would only be equivalent if i used foremode velocity change

yeah

well let me test that rq deynai's method didn't work tho i prob did it wrong

yeah that worked perfectly actually, i cant increase my forward velocity past a certain point but can slow down midair

thanks for the help yall

[warped sorrel]

        transform.position.x += 5;

why is this not allowed

[wintry quarry]

because transform.position returns a copy of the position data

so modifying the x on the copy would do nothing

rather than do nothing and make you frustrated, it gives you an error

You can do transform.position += Vector3.right * 5; for the same effect

or transform.position += new Vector3(5, 0, 0);

[warped sorrel]

then why is transform.position += allowed

if it returns a copy, how does that mutate anything?

[wintry quarry]

because this is setting the position as a whole

this is what position looks like in Transform:

public Vector3 position {
  get {
    return _internalPosition;
  }
  set {
    _internalPosition = value;
  }
}```

transform.position += is calling the SETTER.

transfrom.position.x is calling the GETTER

[rare basin]

i wonder why Unity cannot kinda convert it automatically, so when you do
transform.position.x += 5;
unity will automatically convert it to
transform.position += new Vector3(5,0,0)

[wintry quarry]

it has nothing to do with Unity

it's C#

[rare basin]

not what i said

can't unity override it, as many things?

[wintry quarry]

no

Unity uses C# largely unmodified

it can't change the rules of the C# language

[rare basin]

i see

[wintry quarry]

What they can do is stuff like they did recently with Rigidbody2D

[rare basin]

can you make some extension methods though?

to easily modify just the x for example?

transform.position.SetX(5)?

[wintry quarry]

They added these:
https://docs.unity3d.com/2023.2/Documentation/ScriptReference/Rigidbody2D-velocityX.html

so you can do for example myRigidbody2D.velocityX += 5;

[warped sorrel]

i dont understand the rationale though..?

[wintry quarry]

Yes you can do something like that

[slender nymph]

this still wouldn't work because the Vector3 returned by transform.position is a copy of the vector

[wintry quarry]

I use something like that in my code often

[warped sorrel]

are they just trying to force some opinion about how to do OOP on me by making x only gettable and not settable

[wintry quarry]

they would have to make transform.positionX as a property

[rare basin]

so it would have to be actually
transform.position = transform.position.SetX(5);?

[rare basin]

so im even more confused now, since velocity is also vector3

can't they make the same for transform.positionX?

[wintry quarry]

velocityX would be a float property

[wintry quarry]

yes they can make this. They haven't yet

[rare basin]

alright i get it now

[wintry quarry]

As for extensions you could use an extension like I have here:
https://github.com/jschiff/unity-extensions/blob/338d306ba17f86efa7beea1618ef486132e42720/Runtime/Extensions/VectorExtensions.cs#L19

Then you could write transform.position = transform.position.WithX(5);

[rare basin]

so basically when modifying the velocityX, the setter of that property is changing the actual velocity vector?

[warped sorrel]

just an annoying conceptual hurdle for my students. transform.position.x += 5 would be significantly easier for them to understand.

[twilit pilot]

transform.SetX(5); if you must

[wintry quarry]

yes it would look something like:

public float velocityX {
  set {
    Vector2 vel = this.velocity;
    vel.x = value;
    this.velocity = vel;
  }
}```

[rare basin]

i see

interesting stuff

thank you!

[rare basin]

i'll add that to my collection, so far i only have EnumerableExtensions with stuff like GetRandom() or Shuffle()

especially the GetRandom() is used very often by me

instead of doing the Random.Range(0, arrayLength)

[twilit pilot]

You could also look at it as a gentle hurdle to begin understanding the ideas of reference vs value types

[fossil tree]

hi how can i make a raycast for instanciate a object at the end of the raycast i want the ray as made by the position of my mouse

[exotic hazel]

guys i just dont usestand how i fix this error

This is the code

[slender nymph]

which is line 117 of CraftingSystem.cs

[slender nymph]

then AxeReq1 is null

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

[exotic hazel]

so nothing is assigned on axereq1?

[slender nymph]

correct

[slender nymph]

Text is not the same as a TMP_Text component

[exotic hazel]

that text is completely different

[slender nymph]

then show that object and the Text component on it

[exotic hazel]

oh it has textmeshpro

theres also a couple more problems im facing like earlier if i pressed C my inventory was opening but now nothin happens is it cus of this error? that my inventory is no longer opening

[slender nymph]

exceptions will stop the execution of the method they happen in so anything later than your error would not have executed

also you should consider using a better way to get a reference to those TMP_Text objects instead of chaining transform.Find calls

[exotic hazel]

oke

i hope it works now

cus im getting like 4 problems i hope its cus of this

[slender nymph]

make sure you are also addressing your errors starting with the earliest in the console and not just the latest. typically the earlier ones are the cause of the later ones

[exotic hazel]

im still facing 1 problem but i can fix it ik why it is caused

[exotic hazel]

ohh ok ill keep this in mind

[rare basin]

and dont use find("") please

this is terrible code architecture

[oblique sandal]

Hey guys, been stuck on this for too long... Doing my first unity project for a uni assignment and I can't figure out why my ball is constantly spinning in the z axis when it makes a collision, not sure if im missing something?

It has a regular sphere collider, default rigidbody, and a character controller. I have a camera following it with cinemachine but isn't related as bug still persists when disabled fully

This is the script for movement + the small part I have added for collisions which will be used for jumping, im completely lost? anyone have any idea what could be causing it?

[pine umbra]

why don't u try .AddForce methode to move the ball?

[pine umbra]

why is it terrible?

[frigid sequoia]

Doesn't seem that there is anything in the controller that would do that, what does it do when you dissabled the script?

[eternal needle]

It's slow, it's fragile because it relies on you setting the name correctly in inspector and in script, and then relies on you never changing the names. One accidental change to 1 string or you accidentally name something the same as the object you're trying to find and the game breaks

[oblique sandal]

I did that originally but then when I added in the use of cinemachine i ended up changing it all around, I could give that another go though

[subtle sage]

Anyone can help me with this? I can play the game with the Unity "Play Button" but I can't build it

[oblique sandal]

if i disable the script it doesn't do the rotating, which is why Im puzzled as I cant see anything in there causing it

[teal viper]

The error tells what's wrong. You can't use editor API in a build.

[subtle sage]

but why

[teal viper]

Because you don't want your users to download a whole editor to play the game🤨

[subtle sage]

and how do I fix it

[teal viper]

Don't use editor API in the build.

If it's only needed for editing time, wrap it in a preprocessor define.

[subtle sage]

how do I remove editor api in the build?

[teal viper]

The message above

[subtle sage]

"wrap it in a preprocessor define."
Im new to this and I don't know what that means

[frigid sequoia]

Mmmm... Probably there is something wrong in the controller itself? Cause I don't think any of that should cause rotation. Try just locking the rotation as last resource

[teal viper]

Can read more about it here:
https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/PlatformDependentCompilation.html

[oblique sandal]

havent used character controller before but pretty sure its all default atm?

Problem is its for a marble game so I need the ball to be able to rotate

[subtle sage]

I understand nothing

[teal viper]

Time to learn then🪄

Surely you understand at least something. It's mostly English.

can you just tell me what to delete for it to work?

Change your code.

There's no way to use editor API in the build. It's like asking "how do I break laws of physics"?
The answer is don't break them in the first place.

[vast vessel]

Any shorter way to write this ?
n==2 || n==7 || n==x

[teal viper]

Whatever you're doing there, you probably don't need the editor API there.

[teal viper]

Put the values in an array, loop and check again each element.

[teal viper]

EditorSceneManager. How did you come to using it in the first place?😅

[subtle sage]

SceneManager didnt exist

[teal viper]

I'm sure there's no single tutorial that suggests using it.

[teal viper]

Probably because you're missing a namespace.🤷‍♂️

But you decided to use a namespace that you shouldn't use instead.

[subtle sage]

so how do I replace / fix it?

[vast vessel]

Well now its gonna be a few lines.
One to init the array, one for the for loop, and one for doing whateer operation i wanted to do if these conditions are true:

int[] nums = [2,7,x]
for(int i=0; i<nums.length; i++)
       if(n == nums[i]) //operation

[teal viper]

Well, start from understanding what you're trying to do

[subtle sage]

hmmmmmmmm https://youtu.be/XtQMytORBmM?si=fTldjjZ9rq9P2XZG&t=2355

[vast vessel]

Thats even longer then
if(n==2 || n==7 || n==x) //op

[teal viper]

I assumed that you have more than 3 conditions. If it's just three, the previous way is probably the best.

[subtle sage]

Wait

ok

I have it

[fiery plume]

Is there a way to detect spikes in a music track? like if DB >= 90 ??

[teal viper]

Not unless you use some low level API I think.

[exotic hazel]

When i clitched this button. I got this error.idk how i fix it tho ik what it means.

[languid spire]

AxeCraftButton is null.
You should be using Debug.Log to find this sort of thing

[exotic hazel]

wait the button is null?

[languid spire]

yes, read the code it cannot be anything else

[exotic hazel]

oh ok let me check

this is why i should have never used find to get the button

its so hard to find the error

[languid spire]

indeed also why you should try to understand every line of code you write and not use copy/paste for code you do not

[exotic hazel]

i never copy paste code even if im provided the code i first watch the whole video and then try to write it again myself

i cant copu it either if i want to cus the game they are making in the video and the game im making are similar but not the same

i did find the problem

i gave the wrong path while using find

[honest haven]

what does this mean

[languid spire]

looks like infinite recursion

[burnt vapor]

Just a tip, you could use a property to access the inventory system easier.

public InventorySystem InventorySystem { get { return InventorySystem.Instance; }};

Then you just call this.InventorySystem rather than InventorySystem.Instance.

There's even an easier way to write this:

public InventorySystem InventorySystem => InventorySystem.Instance;

[exotic hazel]

ohh

thx

[burnt vapor]

You added code that caused a stack overflow, and this usually means recursive code that never ended in the same frame, or you simply put too much work in the current frame. Share what you added that caused this.

[cobalt schooner]

im getting this error "Assets\Scripts\InputManager.cs(23,15): error CS1061: 'PlayerMotor' does not contain a definition for 'ProcessMove' and no accessible extension method 'ProcessMove' accepting a first argument of type 'PlayerMotor' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)
" and idk whats wrong i have been searching for like 30 min now. Here's the scriptsv

[exotic hazel]

im still getting the same error.The axe blueprint isnt supposed to be none

[languid spire]

i think i got it

[cobalt schooner]

its done in input actions

[exotic hazel]

if this works i dont know any reason why it wasnt working before but

[languid spire]

post the PlayerInput code

[cobalt schooner]

https://hastebin.com/share/udidopusuz.rust

[exotic hazel]

it still isnt working

lemme try logging

[tropic marten]

is someone able to guide me on how to use the Player Input Manager correctly?
I can spawn my player prefab correctly when 2 controllers are attached, but want to make sure these are correctly identified as Player 1 and Player 2 to be able to use this reference for the scoring later on

irgnore me, worked it out 🙂

[final kestrel]

Can I subscribe as many methods I want to a single event? In the same class?

I mean player class subscribes 3 of its methods to an event

[summer stump]

I don't know of any maximum

3 is nothing, yes you can

[final kestrel]

all right thanks a lot.

[late bobcat]

Guys, any idea on why this is spawning all the cubes on the same spot? https://hatebin.com/qqamrnlrml

[polar acorn]

Try logging SpawnPosition. See if the issue is that the random is getting the same value, or if something is overwriting the object's position after spawning

[late bobcat]

https://gyazo.com/0e2ddfe0cfd0ebac634ef397aaf651a1 looks like random is working, probably something is overwriting the object's position

[polar acorn]

So check SpawnFromPool to see if you're properly using that position, and check any scripts on the spawned objects to see if they move themselves

[late bobcat]

it's weird, objectpooler looks fine too tbh

idk what's causing that, now i'm getting a nullreferenceException after i restarted unity

[static bay]

Probaby best to share ObjectPooler.

[idle maple]

I'm not sure what chat would be appropriate for this but I'm getting this error and I have no idea what could be causing it, I already tried deleting literaly every object in my scene and it still shows up

does anyone know what could be causing this?

[wintry quarry]

the first two are editor bugs

as for the rest - looking at the full stack trace may shed some light

[late bobcat]

https://hatebin.com/zathakpliv don't mind the comments, i was learning how objectPooling worked. @static bay
https://gyazo.com/b72d1eab286e7ca5411c60fc2eb39755 this is the nullreference i'm getting

[idle maple]

oh alright thanks apparently the other 4 were also bugs, restarted it and seems to be fine now

[timid hinge]

I made a game that consists of randomly generating dungeons through corridors, having a playerroom (room where the player spawns) and fightpitroom (room where there are enemies to defeat) and I would like to add something to the game so that the playerroom room, the items do not change location, how can i do that?

[wintry quarry]

well things don't just "change location" on their own. What are you doing that makes them change their location?

[timid hinge]

i create a procedural dungeon generator

[static bay]

Seems like ChatGPT comments.

[wintry quarry]

yes you said that already

[wintry quarry]

Are you asking how to generate the same dungeon multiple times?

[timid hinge]

no, im asking how to dont change the place of the itens on the playerroom

[static bay]

Actually, never mind.

[late bobcat]

It's not lol, chat gpt doesn't say "We wanna disable it at the start etc", it never uses we etc

[wintry quarry]

what is "the playerroom"? And what causes items to change places?

[late bobcat]

as far as i know

[timid hinge]

to be exacly equal when i generate the rooms

[static bay]

Ya sorry I've seen so many of these the past week. GPT likes putting comments for nearly every line of code.

Mb.

[late bobcat]

yeye ik but that's just me wanting to understand every line of code

[late bobcat]

😄

dw about it

[timid hinge]

this is the playerroom that have the player object and the prefab placer that have the prefab to the itens spawned on the dungeon

[wintry quarry]

I don't really know what this screenshot is supposed to tell me. I don't know how your game works. All I can say if you want the player room in the same place is, write your code to put it in the same place.

As for items I have no idea how items work in your game

[timid hinge]

but where can i change that code do put in the same place ?

[modest sluice]

how would i set the transform euler x to zero? ```
transform.rotation = target.rotation;
transform.rotation *= Quaternion.Euler(-90f, 0, 180f);
//transform.rotation.Euler.x = 0; //sudocode
//transform.rotation *= Quaternion.Euler(0f, 1f, 1f); //sudocode
//transform.rotation.x.normalize(0); //sudocode

[timid hinge]

the playerroom code its a part of a system responsible for generating rooms in a game environment, placing items and enemies within those rooms, and spawning a player at the center of each generated room.
and the prefab placer provides functionality to place items and enemies within the game environment, handling instantiation both during gameplay and in the Unity editor environment.

[queen adder]

hi im new to unity and i am whenever i upload a decent photo for my 2d game it looks horrendus ingame, i have disabled the filters and messed around with import settings and cant figure out why? other games dont have this issue so there has to be a solution but i cant find it

[late bobcat]

@queen adder share a screenshot of what's happening

[queen adder]

heres the photo side by side, the ingame is the best i could get it to look after 1 hour of tweaking random settings i have no idea what do lol

both same image just one is lower quality

[late bobcat]

can you take a screen of the settings?

[queen adder]

import?

[late bobcat]

ye

[queen adder]

yes no problem

[late bobcat]

that's not pixel art, you can try trilinear or bilinear i think.

on the filter move if you haven't already tried

[queen adder]

yeah unfortunately this does not do much to help, i think its something to do with aliasing idk tho

[late bobcat]

have you tried with different images?
