[river pecan]

I thought it was it's own little thing

[wintry quarry]

It is its own little math function

In this case we're using it to move the velocity vector towards a new value slowly

[lusty sage]

alright thanks for the help ill check that out! you the goat🙏

[upbeat root]

*sorry, typos

Can i export and send someone my unity project assets for help?

i made my final project to complicated for my skill and doing way more than i needed too and needed to get a 30 day extension and i am almost out of time and i desperately need help

[wintry quarry]

Nobody's gonna do that, but you could ask isolated questions with details.

[upbeat root]

Well,
I cant get the durability text, game over text, spawn points, or mystery crate effects to work

[eternal needle]

thats pretty vague, focus on one issue at a time. And read the #854851968446365696 on how to ask specifically

[upbeat root]

To be fair, i think i followed all those "DO" steps

[river pecan]

This still has different results at different framerates

[wintry quarry]

yes it's going to unless you use FixedUpdate

[river pecan]

I see

[wintry quarry]

this is why physics uses a fixed framerate

otherwise aceleration always makes things different at different framerates

You can get linear motion to work fine with a variable framerate, but not acceleration or any other second-order effects

[eternal needle]

you've done exactly none of them

[river pecan]

I see, I got it in my head from a few forum posts that only rigidbody event should go in fixed update lmao

[wintry quarry]

That's always the thing about these hard and fixed rules

there's always exceptions

you could also implement your own fixed-rate tick system if you want, but FixedUpdate is convenient

[eternal needle]

yes so where is the code, the description of the problem with context, any error messages, steps you've taken, and a full paragraph with the info ready?

you've said "this doesnt work" and showed a screenshot of the editor

[wintry quarry]

really it's "Physics simulation code needs to go in Fixed", which usually means Rigidbody stuff. But you're essentially implementing your own physics here. So you should also do it there. Of course if you move all your movement etc to FixedUpdate you're going to have to deal with visual stuttering and you then either have to manually implement interpolation or just switch to using Rigidbodies anyway

So if physical consistency is important for your game... I recommend using a Rigidbody

[river pecan]

can't you change the speed at which physics updates happen in the project too?

[wintry quarry]

You can change the fixed timestep yes

[river pecan]

Putting my old code within fixedUpdate worked too, is multiplying it every frame inefficient tho?

[wintry quarry]

inefficient? no.

multiplication is very cheap

[river pecan]

Is it not good practice?

[wintry quarry]

It's fine

[upbeat root]

1. Done
2. Done
3. Done ig
4. Not done admittedly
   • Use post sites: N/A
   •N/A
   •I have youtubed, googled, and chat gbt'd
   •Ive given a list of what i need to make work, but im really not sure where to start or how without just sharing my current coade and assets

Remind me, this is code-"beginner" channel right?
Im at the end of an 8 week game design course, so ya, pretty new here
Please be patient with me

[eternal needle]

instead of arguing of what you've done, maybe try to focus on specific issue as i told you above.
#💻┃code-beginner message
then post relevant context. all you've said was "this doesnt work"

[upbeat root]

I found this discord because i am at if not past the limits of my ability and understanding

[summer stump]

I'm confused. Would you like help?

[wintry quarry]

You have to understand none of us know anything about your project. So you'll need to share all the relevant details about your problem if you want help.

Mechanics need to take a look at the engine if you want them to fix it.

[north kiln]

And nobody is going to download your project to help you, because that is the kind of behaviour you should be paying for

[river pecan]

Is making a rigidbody controller better than using the character controller?

[wintry quarry]

Not "better". It's different.

they each have their uses.

[river pecan]

What is a situation where it'd be better to use a character controller?

[upbeat root]

Okay, thank you
That is constructive feedback. I am not fully aquainted with the etiquette.
Alright, let me think how to word my problems better

[teal viper]

A situation where you'd need a very simple controller.

[river pecan]

I see

Character controllers can't move rigidbodies too iirc

[wintry quarry]

Imagine a game like Obduction or Firewatch, or What Remains of Edith Finch
something where the player movement isn't the point of the game and needn't be precise or consistent

[summer stump]

They were asking you to do the stuff under the "DO" section btw. Like posting code.
Not the 1,2,3,4 part at the top

[upbeat root]

Alright, so
When the game opens, it shows the title and 6 difficulties to choose from, that works, great

Ideally, when selecting a difficulty, i want to be able to have the player and one or more enemies spawn in set locations depending on the difficulty. I also want the rate of certain objects spawning from the sky to increase at higher difficulties, but havemt started that yet.

What happens currently, is 1 enemy and 1 player spawn, in the wrong spots, regardless of difficulty, and now can't move from their spawned spot, and the enemy ai just sits there doing nothing, when prior i had the controls working just fine and enemy moving just fine. I'm guessing they are getting stuck on the spawning onlbhects somehow? But even if i code the spawning objects to destroy themselves after the game starts and they do their job, the player and enemy still can't move.

The next issue is that i had it working at one point, but now, the ui that is supposed to show and change with the player's Durability (health) doesnt display anything. Same thing goes with the game over text, that i had triggering and showing different text depending on of player or enemy(s) got destroyed, but now that doesnt work, and I just dont inow how to fix this.

The last big issue is i have tried every logical method i can think of. But can't get the mystery crates to work. Ideally, if the player destroyes one, one of 3 random effects is supposed to trigger, but nothing happens when they are destroyed

[eternal needle]

if you need this behaviour, you can always do stuff like addForce but i'd be careful doing this because you really can get really wonky cases. Its nice if you are able to keep every entity using the same movement system, character controller, a custom kcc (kinematic character controller), or rigidbody. When you start mixing them up, you need extra logic to handle other cases.

[river pecan]

Couldn't you also have a rigidbody that's a little bigger on the character controller

Or like a sphere on the body

[upbeat root]

I got desperate ao i started plugging my code into chatGBT to fix it
And it worked with some stuff, but messed up others, but now it changed things and i feel like i dont know my north from south anymore

[river pecan]

I understand what you're saying tho

[teal viper]

Start from solving the issues one by one. You don't need to tell us about all of them at once. Describe one issue and provide relevant details/code/video of the issue. As well as describe the steps you took to debug it.

[eternal needle]

i havent tried it personally, because i havent really used the built in CC much. I assume it would work to some degree, but any collider will push a rigidbody away. You dont specifically need a rigidbody on your CC. A rigidbody will try to depenetrate itself from other colliders

[teal viper]

And that's one of the reasons you shouldn't use chat gpt as a beginner. At least not like that.

[carmine sierra]

im watching a tutorial and this guy puts _ before every variable

why is that?

[teal viper]

Naming convention

[carmine sierra]

can i remove it and nothing changes

obvious question mb

[eternal needle]

the name of a variable always changes nothing

[carmine sierra]

but whats the exact point of using an underscore?

just to pinpoint variables easier when reading?

[eternal needle]

its convention some people use to indicate a variable is private

i personally dont use it

[teal viper]

If you look closely at the code, you'll notice a pattern. Naming conventions are to denote certain category of variables.

[carmine sierra]

so if you use [serializefield] its still considered private?

[teal viper]

No

As you said, it's for readability purposes only

It doesn't change anything functionally. Aside from maybe a discard

[timber tide]

underscore usually denotes some sort of private variable backed by some property field

it kinda helps, but im lazy with them too

[teal viper]

I've seen it being used for method arguments/parameters too. It depends

[timber tide]

because sometimes you shouldnt be accessing the private variable outside of the property field as the property may have some extra logic it needs to do

updating UI, ect

[ionic zephyr]

how can I activate a child gameobject from an script attached to the father object?

[timber tide]

GetComponentInChildren or assign that reference

[teal viper]

Reference it in the inspector.

[upbeat root]

Honest learning question
Would it not just be easier to personally open the project?
Like to hit play to see what happens, see what assets are where, look at the code that way, instead of translating the problems from static pics, or video snipits, or parts of code, and to rely upon my amateur coding/developing vernacular?

[upbeat root]

Like, not saying to fix it for me, but easier to visually see whats wrong where and tell me what i need to do/fix?

[summer stump]

It would be less easy than you just telling us the issue

It would be a fairly time consuming task, and require explanation anyways

Plus I don't download stuff from strangers generally. On servers

[teal viper]

It would, but it would take time and effort of the one helping you. It is often enough to understand the problem from pics, videos and code. The difference is who's working harder: you or the person helping you. The rule of thumb is that you shouldn't make a person that volunteers to help you to work harder.

[wild dagger]

Hi guys, I'm trying to create a pause menu. The game is pausing but the actual image of the pause menu won't appear? It might be something to do with the camera rendering the player map but not the pause menu but im not sure what exactly to check

[grizzled zealot]

How do I debug this problem: when I click on a gameobject during play, the unity editor consistently crashes. I'm using 2023.3.0b8.

[eternal needle]

downloading a project, loading it, running the game until you come across the error, and looking through the code is a very time consuming task.
And tbh if someone jumps at the opportunity to download your project, i would assume they are just trying to steal stuff. Most people who know what they are doing wouldnt download someones project to begin with

[wild dagger]

This is how it is before pressing play

[teal viper]

Also, note that most people here are answering when they don't have access to their PC(at work breaks or on the move), so it's technically impossible for them to look at your project. And when they do have access to the PC, they have better things to do.

[upbeat root]

Fair

[wild dagger]

game is paused, when I pause the scene I can see it but not when I press play

which is annoying

[summer stump]

i'm on my phone 90% of the time I'm on here

Dang. The "this" emoji was for dlich. Slow phone messaging making a good example haha

[upbeat root]

Fair, ig i just assumed looking at the project and fn with it hands on would be easier for the helper, im definitely more of a hands on/visual kinda guy than going off explanation alone, but thats me

[wild dagger]

Yeah I just noticed, look at the view of the "maincamera"

it doesn't even see the pausemenu

[teal viper]

Can you take a screenshot of the game view as well?

[summer stump]

Show inspector of the canvas

[upbeat root]

Fair, tbh its just for a school project so im not to worried about that, but i can see the risk for sure

[wild dagger]

how it looks in game when play is pressed, haven't pressed pause yet

after pressing pause it does the same

[teal viper]

Is it there if you deactivate your tilemaps object?

[wild dagger]

deactivated my tilemaps object and that is the camera view

[carmine sierra]

this might be alot to ask but is their anyone i could dm with help on making an appropriate grid lock for my game. I learned the basics but I need to alter the grid to this item. thanks

[upbeat root]

For some added perspective, this may be one of those old dog new tricks issues here,
I am 28 years old and just starting to persue learning something I have wanted to do since i was 8 or younger lol
But i spent my life being gaslit into game development being a waste of my time and stuck in survival mode instead of living and doing what i enjoy
End Segway *

[teal viper]

Hmm... Do you have some black full screen image? Or is it black because of camera settings?

[wild dagger]

camera settings

[slender nymph]

do you have your pause menu on a separate canvas? because from your previous screenshot, i see it is not on the screen space overlay canvas

[teal viper]

That's fine. I started learning gamedev around that age as well. You just need to put effort and not expect it to come easily. Follow structured learning path. There are many dependencies for proper learning of gamedev.

[wild dagger]

Yeah it is, I don't even have the tilemap in a canvas it's just within the grid

[slender nymph]

show the settings for the canvas that contains your pause menu

[wild dagger]

ok

[wild dagger]

wait it's here

[slender nymph]

in this image, you see that white box whose corner is in the center of your camera's view and extends up and to the right? that is the bounds of your canvas. you need to put your menu stuff within those bounds

also check the documentation in #📲┃ui-ux to learn how to use unity's UI stuff

[upbeat root]

I digress, did the more thurough explanations of my issues help explain my problem, or the screenshots?

[dire tartan]

i need someone to point me in the right direction here i have two buttons i want each one to when clicked spawn a different player prefab heres my code for the room manager im using https://hatebin.com/hzcgnjhtnv

[wild dagger]

Ngl I was just thinking if it ain't broke don't fix it cause I have a canvas for my battle screen and that works fine, got that all set up

[teal viper]

It was a mess of several issues and none of the explanations provide actual details of the implementation. Start with selecting one issue and going deeper into it.

[teal viper]

Try selecting the canvas in the hierarchy and pressing F in the scene view. What happens when you do that?

[slender nymph]

but it is broke because you don't have your objects within the canvas's bounds

[wild dagger]

So why am I only having issues with this particular screen but not with another screen that I've created within a different canvas

[wild dagger]

just zooms in

I've moved it within the canvas bounds

[slender nymph]

because your other canvas is set up properly and the ui objects are actually on that canvas

again, see the documentation pinned in #📲┃ui-ux to learn how the canvas works

[wild dagger]

bigass canvas

aight

[slender nymph]

yes, this is how screen space overlay canvases work

which you would know if you'd bother reading the documentation

[rich adder]

#archived-networking

[wild dagger]

im just saying its a bigass canvas damn

[rich adder]

sounds like you should probably learn more about unity before doing networking though

[dire tartan]

it wasnt the networking that was the issue it was the button system

i should of been more clear

[slender nymph]

this is literally the normal and expected size of a screen space overlay canvas

[dire tartan]

was trying to make a function that makes it so i can change each buttons skin value

but ive got it working now

[wild dagger]

👍🏿

[wooden vine]

Hi, as you can see on the bottom left, there is a picture of ironman. But, when I make the screen a bigger size, the position of the canvas changes and I don't want it to. My canvas was always scale with screen size. But it is the position of the images that are changing. Is there any way to fix this?

[slender nymph]

check the documentation pinned in #📲┃ui-ux to learn how to properly anchor and scale your UI when the resolution changes

[rich adder]

^^this. Anchoring is very important

[slender nymph]

also consider setting your game view to a specific aspect ratio instead of Free Aspect so you can see how it actually behaves on the target resolution

[wooden vine]

Ok

[wooden vine]

where is the free aspect?

[slender nymph]

look above the start game button in that screenshot

[wooden vine]

oh

thanks

[rich adder]

might wanna fix your reference resolution, doubt anyone has a 4:3 monitor now days lol

[wooden vine]

Oh thanks

[tawny hedge]

am i using the transform.position = currentCheckpointT.transform.position; in a correct sense according to my code?
its attached to the player, when the player reaches -10 on the 'y' axis or presses the reset button (r), the position should change to the current checkpoints transform position

[wild dagger]

I had a read through of the documentation and tried to see if I can fix it but I think the scale of my UI elements are so off that I'd spend a long ass time just having to resize everything so it fits properly within the canvas. Thanks for linking it though I appreciate it

Imma probably have to come up with something else if I wanna do this

[slender nymph]

i mean, you scaled your UI objects down from what they would have been when you added them to the canvas initially. just add them again manually. and keep in mind this only applies to the UI because it is in screenspace not world space like your tilemap and stuff

[wild dagger]

Yeah it's just that having to scale also the tilemaps would be a pain and I have to reassign all of the objects if I re-add the UI elements

[slender nymph]

you shouldn't be scaling your tilemaps for this at all

your tilemaps do not belong on the canvas and are in world space with your camera

[tawny hedge]

turns out it was maybe because i had both a 'player.cs' and a 'playercontroller.cs'

merged them into one script

attached to the same player

[wild dagger]

It works!

Thanks for the advice

[forest galleon]

how do I add flips to my vr game? I want them to be like the Blade & Sorcery mod, but I'm not good at coding so if somebody could help i'd appreciate it sm

[paper snow]

i want my gun to stay rotated constaly and not once how do i fix it void OnCollisionEnter(Collision collision)
{
print(gameObject.name);
if(collision.collider.tag == "wall")
{
Gun.transform.Rotate(90f, 0, 0);
}
}

[summer stump]

Do OnCollisionStay or set a bool to true in OnCollisionEnter
(OnCollisionEnter only runs ONCE per collision, the first frame when a collision occurs.)

[flint heath]

I've got a bit of a tricky issue here. I have this line of code that makes my character always point towards the mouse cursor:
player.transform.rotation = Quaternion.Euler(playerBody.transform.position.x, playerBody.transform.position.y, angle);
and I am trying to make it so that on click you swing your tool, so I tried to do something like this:

if (Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0)){
    player.transform.rotation = Quaternion.Euler(playerBody.transform.position.x, playerBody.transform.position.y, swingAngle);
}

and obviously, since they are both in the update function, the rotation of the second function works but immediately goes there for one frame and then goes back to the mouse cursor the next frame. Is there some way I could have it offset the angle by some amount over time to make it swing?

I could make it lerp to it and then back maybe, but I'm just not sure how to set that up.

[slender nymph]

you're overwriting the rotation. you need to stop assigning the rotation using that first line for the duration of the swing rotation

[flint heath]

hm. so instead should I have the line that have it points toward the mouse cursor afterwards and have something inside that modifies the angle for some time when i swing instead?

[slender nymph]

also the way you have it set up now, it will only ever rotate for the swing for a single frame

[flint heath]

i figured

[slender nymph]

so what you could do is instead of just rotating it immediately right there in the if statement, instead start a coroutine that will slerp its rotation over some desired period of time and while that coroutine is running prevent the mouse position from affecting the rotation

[flint heath]

that was one solution I was thinking of, but I think it might teleport at the end if you move your mouse durint the swing. Another I was thinking of was to lerp the angle variable over time to be angle - swingAngle and then back to normal so that even if i move my mouse cursor during the swing it wouldnt teleport at the end

[queen adder]

Hey i may have a problem in coding something is there anyone willing to help?

[teal viper]

Don't ask to ask. That's a recipe for never getting an answer.

Check #854851968446365696 guidelines on how to ask questions properly

[queen adder]

I don't quite get what your saying

[slender nymph]

https://dontasktoask.com

[rich adder]

The solution is not to ask to ask, but just to ask. Someone who is idling on the channel and only every now and then glances what's going on is unlikely to answer to your "asking to ask" question, but your actual problem description may pique their interest and get them to answer.

[teal viper]

Don't ask "can anyone help me" without providing any details on the actual issue.

[queen adder]

Okay

thx

the problem that i have an inventory in my game and it seems that if i get to the second Item in the inventory it Disables It's code i don't why it just does it with the everyitem under the first one

[teal viper]

Are there any errors in the console when that happens?

[queen adder]

Alot

but none of them are really helpful

[teal viper]

Well, then you'll need to fix them.

[teal viper]

Why not?

[queen adder]

cuz they're happening because that script is being disabled

[slender nymph]

look at the very first error in the console and you'll likely find the root cause

[queen adder]

Ill have a look

[teal viper]

Also, there's a chance you're confusing the cause with the effect.

[queen adder]

Good note

thx

[queen adder]

I Have Done as you said still nothing

[slender nymph]

show the errors, starting with the first

[queen adder]

the first is a null reference which because of the script not being enabled as i said before

but the weird one is the second

it states "UnityEngine.GameObject:SetActive(GameObject, Boolean)"

[slender nymph]

a component being disabled will not cause a NRE

what will do so is calling SetActive on a GameObject variable that is null

so show the errors and the !code

okay i'll show the code but please don't judge im that good with coding

https://hatebin.com/gcecgecvkl first this is the gun code and this is the error NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object
Booty1Shooty.Awake () (at Assets/Scripts/BootyShooty - Copy.cs:64)

[slender nymph]

your GameObject.Find call is failing causing the NullReferenceException

[queen adder]

So how do i fix it?

[slender nymph]

avoid any of the Find methods when possible and use a better way to get a reference to the desired object

[queen adder]

the problem is i want the script to find the object without me assigning it in the inspector so that's why im using find

[slender nymph]

and the problem with that is that the object it is trying to find does not exist

there are plenty of ways to get a reference to an object, GameObject.Find is objectively the worst

[rich adder]

why are you avoiding inspector?

[queen adder]

Cuz in my game this object im using the code on is not gonna be always with you you know

i can't keep setting the inspector for everybit

[teal viper]

It doesn't need to be "with you". You can pass the references around via code.

[slender nymph]

so pick one of the many other ways to get a reference that does not rely on searching the entire scene via string comparison for a gameobject's name

[rich adder]

yea GameObject.Find is very britle

[mental flower]

Yea but... isnt that the whole point of this server? To help others in need whether their a newbie or the most experienced user of Unity? Like, I get there is a whole website, but seriously, not everyone has the time to sit there on a website for hours on end trying to figure out one singular issue when it could be easily solved by others helping. Also, isnt it a cardinal rule of a community to help others in need? We reached out asking for help and we bascially get slapped in the face by getting redirected to something that may not even prove useful for the current issue(s) being experienced. And all we wanted was a nitrous system and a digit only speedometer for 9 hours straight! it's called "beginners" for a reason, not "shun away people to a website who don't know how to script"......

even if we did pull a script from a youtube video it still gave errors. even after copying everything down to the T. forgive me if I sound like a jerk, but where i come from, if you come askin for help, you get it no matter who you are. Apologies in advance but with something like this.. we get stressed. :/

[queen adder]

So GameObject.find is terrible So what do you guys prefer using?

[rich adder]

whenever inspector is not possible pass the reference around through injecting them
https://unity.huh.how/references/simple-dependency-injection

[summer stump]

Yes it is the whole point. And we are here to help you. No one shunned you. This is a misinterpretation of what happened

You never provided information on what you did or how we could help. Just said you wanted a "nitrous system" which is rather bespoke. Provide code and we can help correct it and find bugs.

See the #📖┃code-of-conduct and #854851968446365696 channels for what is expected to get help here though

[slender nymph]

this isn't the place to just get free handouts of code or have someone walk you through coding an entire mechanic one step at a time. as has already been pointed out to you, you can ask for help with your implementation to help resolve errors in your logic and exceptions and the like. but just asking for someone to give you code or to do the work for you is a waste of everyone's time, including your own.

[teal viper]

Not everyone has the time to teach you gamedev and programming for free. If you need a private tutor there are many online services that provide it for remuneration.

[queen adder]

Thank you very much

i appreciate the help

[flint heath]

bro the whole interaction was "idk how to code i haven't started"
"oh thats cool that you're getting started, here are some resources to help you!"
"fuck you"
"???"

mans was just tryna help and u got mad

[summer stump]

To be fair, it was the boyfriend that got mad for no reason. This user AT FIRST seemed understanding. This recent comment is a pretty wild take though

I'm still more than willing to help. But we haven't been given anything we can help WITH! Lol

[flint heath]

maybe they were asking for help on how to add a script to a gameobject to start coding? I don't think it's fair to format your messages as if it's a riddle though

[summer stump]

@mental flower if speedroute is right about what you wanted, you simply drag the script onto the gameobject (likely the car?)
Or click "add component" in the inspector of the object and type the name of the script in

[slender nymph]

nah, they were legit wanting someone to write the script for them. #archived-code-advanced message

[summer stump]

Well, that is not help. That is work

[flint heath]

I'm not so sure. They didn't specify what they wanted to be in the script, they just essentially said "I don't know how to code, I haven't even started"

they weren't asking anything

[slender nymph]

The car does move, and we'd need the script written in C#, with a separate script for the sound and key binding for the booster. (Left shift if anything) Is this the right place to come to?

[flint heath]

anywayyy, could someone help me figure out why this swing animation thing isn't working?

if (Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0))
{
    angle = Mathf.Lerp(angle, angle + swingAngle, swingSpeed * Time.deltaTime); // modify angle so swing will happen no matter where you move your cursor
}

player.transform.rotation = Quaternion.Euler(playerBody.transform.position.x, playerBody.transform.position.y, angle); // point towards mouse cursor

[slender nymph]

because you only lerp for a single frame which is why i suggested a coroutine earlier

[summer stump]

Also. Never multiply the third variable in lerp by deltaTime
Nor should you use the assigned value IN the lerp
You generally want the first and second params to be unchanging

[polar acorn]

even if we did pull a script from a youtube video it still gave errors. even after copying everything down to the T.

Show tutorial, show code, show error

[flint heath]

oh

[rich adder]

InputGetKeyDown is not a fire and forget event

you need amount over time

Coroutines / Update loop

[flint heath]

ohh ok, that makes more sense

[flint heath]

Why not multiply by deltatime?

[slender nymph]

https://unity.huh.how/lerp/wrong-lerp

[summer stump]

If you google wrong-lerp - ah, too slow

In short, the third parameter is not a "rate" or "speed", it is a current percentage between parameters 1 and 2

[flint heath]

oh thanks, that explains it very nicely

[polar acorn]

@mental flower @tired pilot If either of you want to share this let me know I'd love to add it to The Counter™️

[flint heath]

do I need a method to trigger a coroutine, or can I just call the routine by doing exampleRoutine(); at any point?

[slender nymph]

you should look up how coroutines work because you have to use StartCoroutine for it to work correctly

[flint heath]

I've been trying, the official unity coroutines page and the one from this link ^ aren't very helpful

[summer stump]

The docs one has example code

[slender nymph]

well i'm not about to explain every detail of how coroutines work so read the documentation for them and if you have specific questions, then you can ask them

StartCoroutine(myMethod())

Hello, is there a way to make like one-sided colliders in unity? im making a collider that would decrease the score of the player when for say, he enters a no entry zone. It works but when I enter it from the other side where entry is possible, it decreases the player's score and I want to avoid this. Is there a technique for this?

[slender nymph]

i know 2d has platform effectors which might be able to work like that. otherwise not really, you would probably want to check the direction that the player enters from manually

[polar orbit]

Hello, i'm trying to put a cloud on material but the size shredded and im trying to back it to the normal size to put it on the praticle

[vale karma]

or you could have 2 colliders, and figure out if one is touched before the other then do this bc it wou8ld mean it came from this direction

if one was a bool set to true and then passed in the second "do this if bool is true" would be easier

[polar orbit]

do i can back my material to the average size

[polar orbit]

or the default size

[flint heath]

is there any way that I can access the local variables from the update function in a script outside of the function as it updates?

[slender nymph]

no

local variables are only accessible within the scope they are declared in. so variables declared inside of Update cannot be access outside of Update because they simply do not exist there

use fields (class-level variables) if you want to access them in other objects

alternatively you can pass data as a parameter to a method if you just need to access something when you call a specific method

[vale karma]

if you find a better method let me know, that seems like something i should remember later on

[faint sluice]

Is it 2D game or 3D game? Cuz I do believe one sided collider exists in 2D game

[vale karma]

yea its a mech for platformers

[faint sluice]

Ye, i just forgot the name

[slender nymph]

that would be the platform effector i already mentioned

[vale karma]

i know its called something... it effects it... hmmm

[flint heath]

you didn't seem very confident when you said it

you definitely put an italicized might

[slender nymph]

i am not confident that it can be used for that specifically. but i am confident that it is called platform effector

[vale karma]

lol its on the tip of my tonguee

[flint heath]

i think i know!

[faint sluice]

Isn't platform effector used like escalator-ish ways?

I might be wrong, haven't used in while

[vale karma]

you should check your sources on that

[slim moss]

I think I'm gonna like it here.

[vale karma]

trying to mess with boxfriend failed, hes unphased

[faint sluice]

Who's messing? Just clearing my doubts

Nvm yes it's possible for one way

I mistook platform effector for surface effector

[flint heath]

another way you could check is just check the velocity.x of the player or wtv at the time it hits the collider and if its positive then add to the counter and if its negative then you dont add to the counter maybe

[slender nymph]

i don't know what you mean by "escalator-ish" but it's used to provide one way collisions for platforming, like when mario jumps up through a platform to land on top of it

[faint sluice]

@slender nymph mistook cuz of similar names

Mb

[slender nymph]

however i am not 100% certain if that works at all for trigger colliders and whether it would prevent the OnTriggerEnter2D message from being sent

especially since trigger colliders do not produce collisions

[polar orbit]

does anyone know about particle thing

that's fine!

as you guys out of questions will you look at my problem (dont mean to be rude)

[flint heath]

how do you even access the returned value(s???) of the function?

[polar orbit]

just mention put it on a parameeter if it asks the same data type or assign it to a variable if both are the same data type

That was incomprehensible honestly. I had no idea what you were trying to say

[slender nymph]

you are using a horrible translator that makes it impossible to understand the point you are trying to make. try seeking a different translator

[flint heath]

fam im new to this stuff and im sure your explanation would make sense to someone experienced who knows most the terms but I just wasnt sure

[summer stump]

I have a decade of experience and it made no sense at all

[polar orbit]

then speak my language i can help you

[flint heath]

right so in my situation I don't think I actually do need to return anything from the coroutine, I just need the rotation value to lerp there and back, but because I can't access the local variables from the update function, I can't just put the line of code I normally would there. I could just set up the same local variables that I did in the update function, but then that creates the same issue, that the animation will be overlapped!

[polar orbit]

i'm sorry, i didn't know that my english is that bad.. i was just trying to help and it's okay i understand our friend

i will try to practice english more and im not using translator XD

[flint heath]

ay man its okay, I was able to somewhat understand it afterwards, I do see now that you said that you can assign it to a variable

ty for trying to help

[slender nymph]

you should consider using one. this isn't a dig at your english skills or anything, i know learning another language is hard. it's just that your messages are nearly incomprehensible and you would be much better off if you used a translator so that the people in this discord actually understand what you are trying to say so that you can not only receive help, but help others as well

like your screenshot very clearly demonstrates you do not have proper syntax highlighting or errors underlined

so you either missed something or you need to restart your pc and/or regenerate project files

but if you cannot get vs code configured, then consider switching to a real ide like visual studio which is easier to configure and much less likely to randomly break

[teal viper]

I think that might be a custom coloring scheme

Because it seems to recognize references.

[slender nymph]

it highlights float but not the other types and does not provide errors underlined

[teal viper]

Ah, true that.

[teal viper]

What ide is that anyway? Vs or vs code?

[brisk escarp]

vs code

[slender nymph]

it's vs code. vs doesn't do code lens for fields

Hi, in my game, I have a total of four scenes. When I play the third scene by itself, I can see the UI text when I lose and win. However, after I connected the scenes and start from the first one and get to the third scene, the UI text becomes hidden although I could see a panel in the same canvas. I don't know what the issue is.

Actually nvm I fixed it

[brazen canyon]

[sonic dome]

is there a way i can get a bool value for an animation like while the player is running i want a bool value that animation is still playing = true

[slender nymph]

what would the purpose of that be? I ask because that is typically an xy problem

[swift elbow]

im not sure if thats a thing, but you can create your own method and set it to run at specific points in an animation and set a custom bool's value then call that value

[swift elbow]

i see how you might think this is, but they might just not be familiar with specific calls. if someone asked how to find a gameobject in a scene without assigning it manually, i wouldnt assume that thats an xy problem, but instead just a person whos unfamiliar with specific unity functionalities

[slender nymph]

checking if an animation is playing is usually the attempted solution to finding out when an animation has completed. so yes, that is usually an XY problem and the typical solution is to use animation events

[limpid wren]

I'm starting to get a fair amount of singleton manager type objects (SFX manager, enemy manager, projectile manager) Is this bad?

I feel like there are a lot of systems that need to connect to a more central system

And my go-to solution has been to just make a manager, but it feels dirty

[swift elbow]

I thought the point of making a manager was so that it doesn't feel dirty...

[limpid wren]

It felt good in the moment but now that I have like 6 of them and am looking at my 7th it feels less so

then you should just be able to delete the Folder

why is the is ground not working?

[slender nymph]

this has troubleshooting steps for physics queries like raycasts: https://unity.huh.how/physics-queries

but either your raycast is not as long as you think it is, it isn't in the position you think it is, or there is nothing in its path on a layer contained your ground layer mask

[sonic dome]

no its like

i m on a terrain

sometimes the ray cast is hitting

somtime it doesnt

i assume it is cuz of the ununiform nature of the terrain

[slender nymph]

#💻┃code-beginner message

draw the raycast so you can see how long it is and where it is actually at

[sonic dome]

i tried using the ongizmos func but i cant set a specific length to the drawn ray

[slender nymph]

although you probably want a query that has some volume like an overlapbox or something instead of just a tiny little raycast

Hey! So I'm trying to make a grid-like movement system in 3D, but it's not really going according to plan...
https://gyazo.com/4359c75f70a90452372e1dc19e3df2f6
This is the result I'm getting, now I know that the reason some of the movement in this happens is because the targetPos is just 0,0,0 + whatever is pressed, but I have no idea how to fix this to make it from the current position or anything like that. Am I approaching this whole system incorrectly? If so, what should I do instead?

https://gdl.space/tocemisupa.cs

every single movement you see in this is just 1 key press btw, I'm not pressing both D and S to go from the top tile to the right one, just D.

[sonic dome]

is there a way i can shoot a raycast from the center of my camera?

[verbal dome]

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Camera.ViewportPointToRay.html This with (0.5, 0.5)

Or just make a ray with camera position and camera forward

[wintry quarry]

It's unclear how you want this to work?

What's the goal

if (input != Vector3.zero)
            {
                var targetPos = transform.position + input:
                 StartCoroutine(Move(targetPos));
            }```
Don't you just want this @fossil gulch ?

[fossil gulch]

Thanks for the response. I think so, yes.
https://gdl.space/anogolisuj.cs
I'm currently trying to incorporate something like what you've written, however I'm struggling with this switch...

The one in FixedUpdate

It keeps returning "Object reference not set to an instance of an object"

I thought that Event.current.keyCode was the correct thing to use for this switch, but I think I'm mistaken...

I'm unable to find anything else that could work by myself

scrap that, I googled it and switches are not the way to go for this.

[timber tide]

you can just await the coroutine until thenext action is performed

or do a queue of inputs if you wanna go that way

[fossil gulch]

https://gdl.space/wevusonuha.cs
This revamped script works perfectly fine, I just have one issue with it. I sometimes have to press a button 20+ times for it to actually register it as a button press, even when isMoving is false.
https://gyazo.com/012c7ce78217fa8b650fc39d64001986

[timber tide]

keep input in update

if it is moving in fixedupdate

and as I was saying, you can probably queue the last input so they will instantly respond to it when they get to their destination

[fossil gulch]

that sounds great, but I've no clue on how I'd actually do that...

I'll google it

[timber tide]

it's just caching the input someway instead of discarding it when the player is in an action. You see it usually done in networked games to combat latency

[fossil gulch]

I'm thinking of storing the queued input in an array, working on it right now

[quiet kindle]

Hi all, Im using the Unity Splines in-built component, and am able to move amy player along the spline, but I wanted to make my player object do a jump over an obstacle when key is pressed, but Im stuck because the character just keeps on moving ahead, instead of completing the jump action.

[rich bluff]

post code that moves the player

[wintry quarry]

You would make the jump curve relative to the spline

[sleek orchid]

Thanks! ❤️

[jagged latch]

Hey my friend

[quiet kindle]

Im using SplineAnimate component on the player to move it along, so the player is usually never touching the groundlayer, just floating a little bit above it.

void Start()
{
rb = GetComponent<Rigidbody>();
}

private void Update()
{
     // Jump when space key is pressed
    if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Space) && jumpCooldownTimer <= 0)
    {
        rb.AddForce(transform.up * jumpForce, ForceMode.Impulse);
        jumpCooldownTimer = jumpCooldown;
    }

    // Decrease jump cooldown timer
    if (jumpCooldownTimer > 0)
        jumpCooldownTimer -= Time.deltaTime;

}

THis is the code that makes it jump, which works nicely when I am not using SplineAnimate, but it struggles when SplineAnimate is active.

All I want to do is get an effect like something we used to see in the iTween library.

https://gyazo.com/6abe9ab6c9918bab7b1d1c23e7626c6c

[rich bluff]

SplineAnimate is built in?

[quiet kindle]

Yes

and it works great to move the character along the spline, but it prevents the character from jumping, etc. via RigidBody because two forces are acting on it at the same time (probably).

[rich bluff]

i doubt it uses forces to move along the spline

most likely it simply sets transform.position

[buoyant knot]

or MovePosition

rigidbodies can’t be moved by forces, but also be told to follow a specific trajectory at the same time. the two requests are mutually exclusive

it’s like calculating two different positions of where you want it to go. you can only pick one

[rich bluff]

there are several ways i can think of doing this

1. animate an empty root transform along the spline, and animate the player model locally (jump) while its parented
2. animate a completely separate transform, and write code that follows that transform

second will keep the whole thing physical

[buoyant knot]

when I do this sort of thing, I keep a ground-lock variable

it’s a variable to tell me if my character is supposed to ignore all other forces and try to move along a ground slope

[rich bluff]

i think you can make 1 also fully physical

[buoyant knot]

the way I describe no. Because you always get vertical force to try to conform to the ground. you need to be able to disable that to jump

and turn it back on when you touch ground in a groundable state

i hope that makes sense, even tho it makes the machine state more complex

[rich bluff]

why not? you add up all the vectors, some controllers use this approach

separate the vectors, manage influence/weight, use counter force, i seen it done well

[buoyant knot]

you cannot because if you tell your RB “apply force to conform to this floor”, and you also apply force to jump, you will get really weird behaviour

you need to really shut off the force that snaps you to the spline so you can force only one to happen at a time

otherwise, you are applying counterforce to cancel out the force you added, conditionally

which is the same thing as what I said, but with more steps, because you add the wrong force, then later need to know what it was you added to properly counter it.

[quiet kindle]

Yeah, and I really like the SplineAnimate component and it has all the fun ease-in, ease out, ping pong, etc. but it completely ignores the groundLayer, which -- I think -- I will probably need to apply the force for the jump.

alos, the splienanimate rotates the object in the direction of the spline.

[buoyant knot]

i feel like player movement just isn’t the case where you want to use this component

probably a projectile, or a bat, or something that just isn’t grounded

so you don’t have two people grabbing the same steering wheel

[rich bluff]

how do you think games like Inside did it?

[buoyant knot]

idk that game

if you are in 3D, I would try KCC first tbh

it has a lot of the stairs and slopes and camera already figured out

[quiet kindle]

I wonder how the iTween guys did it many yrs ago?

https://www.pixelplacement.com/itween/examples.php

[buoyant knot]

at the end of the day, you need to calculate where your character needs to be, and where it is going next

[quiet kindle]

Look at tht Path constrained character example.

[buoyant knot]

not supported on mobile lol

if I had to do it, whenevr I get a jump command, I would put a hard stop to current pathing, and totally recalculate the next destination

you basically need to change your trajectory from one frame to the next

idk. physics is hard, and idk how much i trust tweening for it

as opposed to clearly defined forces that calculate next proposed position/vel solely from the current frame’s position/velocity

a proper spline requires using multiple frames of information, and physics information can dramatically alter what you are doing one frame to the next. so i find trying to juggle old data to not be worth it

[rich bluff]

i think its possible to keep character locked to a path, if you only need left/right movement along that path, you will need to sample the point periodically, generate the movement vector by looking ahead on the spline, and compensating with forces only perpendicular to the spline on 2 horizontal axis

while keeping it all physical

[buoyant knot]

yeah. lot of work

a lot of work that I feel is inappropriate for #💻┃code-beginner

[quiet kindle]

but it's fun. and I thank you all for your suggestions, some interesting things to learn.

so I will stop using SplineAnimate and then work from the grounded work, then rigidbody to jump around.

[rich bluff]

i didnt use that package (?) but i guess you first build the spline itself using objects and SplineAnimate is just additional component?

[quiet kindle]

yes, Spline is built-in, and SplineAnimate is separate component that I've added to the player to follow the spline, so I can remove that, and get the raw spline points, and follow it along like waypoints.

[buoyant knot]

i’m just saying this is a more difficult problem than #💻┃code-beginner

[final kestrel]

Hey all. I am again here with the same problem. I have a door prefab. This door teleports my player to the gizmo when activated. It works all fine until I put another door. The second door (on the left) teleports my player to the first door's destination point. I drag the destination transform in the inspector.

and this here is the code that is responsible for teleportation
https://hatebin.com/jdgjovfruf

[rich bluff]

if both objects do EventManager.OnSoftLoadStart and both coroutines are started which one takes priority?

[final kestrel]

I dont have any way to know that no

I mean the first door

[rich bluff]

am i correct to assume that both teleporters are starting their coroutines at the same time?

since they both sub to the same event

[final kestrel]

Yes that is the case I believe

They only work when interacted though. So When I go for the second door shouldn't it use its own destination?

[rich bluff]

no its undefined, since OnEnable order is undefined

[final kestrel]

ah okay

So when I go to the second door. It acts like this because of subscribing the same event?

[rich bluff]

are you calling StartTeleportCoroutine from some other script?

when interacting

[final kestrel]

I am just invoking the softloadstart event on interact.

[rich bluff]

then thats the issue

you designed it so that only one teleport can be enabled at a time

otherwise it will be random

[final kestrel]

https://hatebin.com/smrshwmitp this is where it happens

hmm so I can just put the teleports individually OnInteracts without utilizing events

So they both call them seperately without doing the same thing

[rich bluff]

typically people use IInteractable interface for this kind of thing

or something similar

[final kestrel]

I have an abstract Interactable class

The methods are coming from there

[rich bluff]

less optimal imo, but serves the same purpose

[final kestrel]

Oh okay. So I can just do it the way I mentioned right?

without events

[rich bluff]

how else will you solve this issue?

yes

[final kestrel]

All right. Thanks a lot.

[rich bluff]

you can, in theory pass the context (teleport that was interacted with) in the event payload

[final kestrel]

as an argument you mean?

[rich bluff]

its just a less obvious and more convoluted way that solves it in xyproblem manner

yes

[final kestrel]

hmm all right I will look into it. Thanks again.

It worked yay

how the f does weaponSlots[targetSlot] end up out of the bounds of the weaponSlots array?

[wintry quarry]

If weaponSlots has 0 elements

[vast vessel]

it has 4

[wintry quarry]

Debug.Log to prove it

just print all these numbers:

• targetSlot
• weaponSlots.Count

[vast vessel]

i have break points, when my code hits the break points, i checked all the values. weaponSlots was fine

[wintry quarry]

Then the error happened a different time the code ran

probably another copy of the script where weaponSlots is empty

Debug.Log will be easier here than a breakpoint

[vast vessel]

heres the debug log

[gaunt ice]

int C=A+=B;

this is a valid syntax

so you dont get error here

[polar acorn]

Show code for SwitchWeapon

[wintry quarry]

Can you show the full stack trace?

[vast vessel]

void SwitchWeapon(int targetSlotIndex)
        {
            if (weaponSlots[targetSlotIndex] == null || weaponSlots[targetSlotIndex].isEmpty)
                return;//dont do anything if the target slot is empty or just dosnt exist

            if (!SelectedSlot.isEmpty)
            {
                SelectedSlot.weapon.PrimaryAttackInputCanceled(default);    //Cancel the shooting on the active weapon before switching
                SelectedSlot.weapon.gameObject.SetActive(false);    //Deactivate the current weapon
            }
            //change the weapon
            selectedSlotIndex = targetSlotIndex;

            weaponSlots[targetSlotIndex].weapon.gameObject.SetActive(true);
            weaponSlots[targetSlotIndex].weapon.DrawWeapon();

            UpdateWeaponIcons();
        }```

this was the issue

Iam programming a tetris like game and I have trouble with coding the boundaries... UpdateMom() Updates the Renderer of the Part(Its called like this because the renderer is on the parents Part) But if I move into the boundary and the trigger goes of the Renderer is allready clipping over the boundary and then snaps back
I would appreciate it if smb could look into that and If needed I can send a video clip of it

[tidal kiln]

why do you include the namespace

[queen adder]

you cant use UnityEditor in builds

[queen adder]

this too

[merry spade]

It currently works only for the left boundary that is snaps back

[queen adder]

if you really need it you can do

    #if UNITY_EDITOR
      using UnityEditor.SearchService;
    #endif

[sleek orchid]

I believe I don't need it at all, no Idea why it is there

[queen adder]

well then just delete it

[tidal kiln]

maybe it was intellisense

[sleek orchid]

• What do u mean by "namespace"?

[queen adder]

all these using things are called namespaces

[sleek orchid]

oooh

Thanks guys ❤️

You were of great help

[queen adder]

np bro

[tidal kiln]

i dont get it

[merry spade]

Wait I send a video clip

It snaps back and I dont want that therefore I implementet "UpdateMom()" This teleports the renderer onto the current position but it shouldnt go to the position if the hitbox which searches for boundaries has found one

[polar acorn]

You cannot use anything in the UnityEditor namespace in a build

[sleek orchid]

Just curious... Why?

[polar acorn]

Because in the build, you aren't running it in the editor

[tidal kiln]

youre making this a little more complicated than it needs to be

[polar acorn]

there's no editor to run editor code in

[tidal kiln]

you dont need physics for this

set up a grid system

[merry spade]

Yes I thought of that too but then rotations would make it worse

[gaunt ice]

why?
you can still rotate it but you have to handle the math...

[tidal kiln]

it shouldnt be too much more to rotate it

[merry spade]

ok I will try it

But then I would have to make a big array and set all rotations of the parts

that would take hours

[tidal kiln]

use a 2d array

[merry spade]

yes i meant 2d

[gaunt ice]

using grid system should be much easier
i have no idea how to detect if a line if full and cutting the collider in physics system

[merry spade]

As I said its not exactly like tetris it would work in my game

[tidal kiln]

anyway to answer your original question the problem is youre setting the position then checking if its out of bounds then you move it again

[merry spade]

No I check it every frame with OnTriggerEnter

[tidal kiln]

i believe the trigger doesnt get called until the next frame

[merry spade]

ok but then how do i fix this

[tidal kiln]

you change the position in frame 1, in frame 2 the move function is called

you need to check if its out of bounds first

which is why i recommended the grid system

i dont think you can make it work easily with your current system

maybe a work around would be to check the width o f the shape and calculate if its position is past the bounds position

quick fix i guess

[merry spade]

Rotation would again destroy this concept

[tidal kiln]

why

[merry spade]

All of my parts are squares

only the hitbox is different

[tidal kiln]

so take the left most and right most squares and see if they are out of bounds

this isnt gonna work with physics so just scrap that

[tidal kiln]

you dont have to do the grid system but you can try this

[merry spade]

what do you mean by "the left most and right most squares"?

[sleek orchid]

Yo, I just made my first game! It looks like shit. However, thanks for the aid guys ❤️

[tidal kiln]

if the position of these are past the blue line dont move it

theres a function like get position at corners or something

[merry spade]

ah so you mean make a hitbox for every block?

square

[tidal kiln]

no, no hitboxes no physics

[merry spade]

just from the renderer?

[tidal kiln]

lets say position of lines is(-4,0) (4,0)

[gaunt ice]

checking the (logical) position of each block of the falling tile

[timber tide]

if I had a dime for every tetris tutorial that used colliders for their game i'd be rich

[tidal kiln]

before you move or rotate the item, check if that position will be past the bounds of the lines

[merry spade]

Iam not doing a tutorial.. I wish I would

[merry spade]

yeah that seems much simpler then I would have to track the rotation but that should be easy

thank you

[languid spire]

I've got 3D tetris code that doesn't use colliders

[tidal kiln]

for rotation you could get the top most square and rotate it about the origin then check the bounds

[verbal dome]

Colliders for tetris sounds absurd

Unless it has some physics-based twist

[bitter carbon]

how would i check if a certain thing is in the Hierarchy with code?

[tidal kiln]

simple way could be FindFirstObjectByType<T>

[merry spade]

I think I missunderstood sth this feels illegal haha

    private void CheckRight(int curr)
    {
        float[] positions = { transform.position.x + 0.4505f, transform.position.y};
        for (int i = 0; i < positions.Length; i++)
        {
            square_pos[curr, i] = positions[i];
        }
    }
    private void CheckLeft(int curr)
    {
        float[] positions = { transform.position.x - 0.4505f, transform.position.y };
        for (int i = 0; i < positions.Length; i++)
        {
            square_pos[curr, i] = positions[i];
        }
    }
    private void CheckDown(int curr)
    {
        float[] positions = { transform.position.x, transform.position.y - 0.4505f};
        for (int i = 0; i < positions.Length; i++)
        {
            square_pos[curr, i] = positions[i];
        }
    }
    private void CheckHere(int curr)
    {
        float[] positions = { transform.position.x, transform.position.y};
        for (int i = 0; i < positions.Length; i++)
        {
            square_pos[curr, i] = positions[i];
        }
    }
    private void CalculateSquares()
    {
        if(this_part == Parts.t_block)
        {
            CheckRight(0);
            CheckLeft(1);
            CheckDown(2);
            CheckHere(3);
        }
    }

and thats only one part one rotation every part has 4

it writes down the coordinates of every square

[gaunt ice]

your grabage collector:
there is s struct called vector2

[wintry quarry]

The fun thing about Vectors in Unity is you can do this:

Vector3 myV3 = new(4, 5, 6);
for (int i = 0; i < 3; i++) {
  print(myV3[i]);
}```

although I'm not really following what this code is doing

[tidal kiln]

ok so i think your way is a little inefficient

[merry spade]

Ok explanation: I want to make a tetris like game and want to check if the block would be outside of the boundaries if I move it therefore I need to know every position of every square of every part so even if I rotate I can check If its outside and this should calculate every square pos of the T-Block in tetris

[fossil gulch]

Hey! With the help of some friends I was able to get the movement working how I want it to. This is what it currently looks like
https://gyazo.com/7c20d9784c71d11181382bdda3b5ca18
https://gdl.space/besajiruyu.cs
That's my script.
I just seem to be stumbling upon one small issue, and that is that the animation is glitching out because the player stops on the nodes/points of the grid for a split second. I have no idea how to fix this...

[stable moth]

Something is wrong with the synthax guys ?

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

public class CustomGravity : MonoBehaviour
{
   
    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update()
    {
        AddForce(Vector3(0,0,9800), ForceMode.Acceleration);
    }
}```

[languid spire]

yes, AddForce need a Rigidbody instance to work on

[fossil gulch]

https://gyazo.com/c370d6a01ca7ad15351e0c1e83187d22
The glitching is more noticable when walking in a straight line.

[frigid sequoia]

It is meant to move on a grid?

[fossil gulch]

yes. Give me a second, I've hidden the grid points. I'll show them

[timber tide]

your animation state is changing to movement -> idle -> movement

so if you dont want the hiccup then you need logic that bypasses the idle if you've got continuous input

[tidal kiln]

@merry spade lets say you have 3 square wide object and each square is 1 distance, origin is in the middle. when this object is spawned we can take the distance from the origin to end of the object. in this case its 1.5. now when we try to move left we will calculate our new distance and subtract 1.5 from it.

[fossil gulch]

https://gyazo.com/c5c2e7cf59e96220112180b017f0a773

[fossil gulch]

Ah, I see

[stable moth]

please ?

[languid spire]

#💻┃code-beginner message

[fossil gulch]

you're not adding force to anything

[merry spade]

yeah but if its rotated its only 0.5 distance

[stable moth]

ping to reply please 🙏

[languid spire]

oh, yeah, sure, I'm here purely for your benefit

[fossil gulch]

could checking if there's inputs in the queue work?

So like, If there's a queue then don't set the forward animation float to 0

[tidal kiln]

yes thats right

[frigid sequoia]

It just seems that the animation is not looping correctly

[timber tide]

are these trigger animations or bool animations

because if it's a bool you'd just loop it ^

[merry spade]

yeah but youre right thats much easier

I will try it again

[fossil gulch]

to be honest I have no clue

[stable moth]

Got this

[fossil gulch]

I didn't make them, they're placeholders

[timber tide]

well if they are bools then you dont want to flip them off if you're continuing in a direction

[wintry quarry]

new Vector3

[fossil gulch]

They're in a blend tree is all I know

this is what my animator looks like

[merry spade]

yes in that case I only have to write down the distances for every rotation that should be simpler

[bronze lynx]

i have a game where you can pick up things. but when you go near the wall, the object goes through it. Does anyone have a script or any ideas that makes it so it collides with the walls?

you have to configure your IDE to be able to spot errors in your code more easily. Without it, helping you is more or less impossible.

[rich adder]

You literally have compile errors, and that is part of the solution

i have my doubts you did.
show that its configured

[fossil gulch]

I've tried checking if the queue is empty, adding a small delay before ending the MoveRoutine, etc. And It's still glitching out. I'm really bad with animation, So I struggle to understand what is causing the issue

[tidal kiln]

it says right there that its disabled

[stable moth]

It's written in little couldn't see it

[fossil gulch]

You were being disrespectful to those trying to help you. I was just pointing that out.

[swift sedge]

that's not an ide. Unity pairs with VS Code, but its a challenge to setup

[timber tide]

it's just a statemachine, and if the animation is going back to idle then that's a problem if you want to continuously loop.

[stable moth]

By insulting me ? I was just confused and didn't (wanted) to hurt anybody but i forgive it

[timber tide]

of course there could be other issues but id make sure that's working first

[rich adder]

not true not anymore at least

[fossil gulch]

ah I see

[rich adder]

also there are more steps for VSCode did you do all of them

and yes ur running it in Restricted mode it wont work

[swift sedge]

VS Code is an ide? I guess it has highlighting, debugger and intellisense...

[fossil gulch]

well I think the best way to go about this is just not stopping the movement coroutine at all until the player is done with their inputs, (the player stops for a split second when moving to the TargetPosition) because it also causes my shadow (gameobject) underneath to glitch out.

[stable moth]

how do i disabled that ?

[rich adder]

I was mainly talking about the setting up part.
Yeah its not in the technical term an IDE but with extensions it pretty much is..

[rich adder]

first you should be opening the scripts from inside Unity

that generally opens the editor not in Restricted mode

[fossil gulch]

but idk how to do this, the only idea I'd have would be giving the player full control but that kind of defeats the points of the grid system

[stable moth]

Ok i found i

[swift sedge]

I wish unity had a built-in code editor

[stable moth]

Just like godot

[rich adder]

hell naw

[stable moth]

Ahhh the good old godot days(litterally 5 days ago)

[tidal kiln]

whats the problem

[languid spire]

oh yeah, we really need an IDE designed and developed by game devs

[rich adder]

Unity hasn't even made their own VSCode plugin , I would not trust them making an IDE

[final kestrel]

Say I have several panels in canvas. How can I choose which canvasgroup to play with its alpha? Without dragging them on inspector.

[rich adder]

Tags or Component search

or Simple Dependency inject

[final kestrel]

All right. Thanks navarone.

[queen adder]

There used to be a thing called MonoDevelop which was built into Unity I think?

[languid spire]

It still exists

[rich adder]

no MonoDevelop is a sepearate app

[fossil gulch]

well, in the video I showed there is no problem. Here you can see the actual problem:
https://gyazo.com/ebd9006151dc7be3f8e660c7667034de
See how the character is glitching out? The reason is because the player stops moving for a split second before they continue moving, I think this has to do with my queue system. I have no idea how to fix it.

https://gdl.space/ogohosumet.cs

Any ideas? anyone?

[rich adder]

looks like something is wrong with your animations or transitions between clips

[cosmic quail]

if it has something to do with your queue system then we cant help cause we dont know what that is

[fossil gulch]

It's in my code. I can explain it if you want

[fossil gulch]

The problem is that the animation float state thingy "forward" returns to 0 at the end of the MoveRoutine while I still have moves queued

[tidal kiln]

check the next queue item

if its move forward dont switch it

[rich adder]

we'd have to see the !code

oh ops

[cosmic quail]

i thought that was the video link

i havent heard of gdl space

[rich adder]

I think you may be running the coroutine multuple times

[rich adder]

Im creating a clone rn In C# 🙂

[fossil gulch]

I tried doing

           animator.SetFloat("forward", 1);
       else
           animator.SetFloat("forward", 0);

but it doesn't work, as, for some reason, the queue is empty

but it's obviously not, seeing as the queue is working how it should

Anyways, the way I thought about fixing this was by not stopping on the next grid spot at all while another move is queued

[rich adder]

Id check the coroutines first

[timber tide]

could make it like snake and just run in the direction until you queue another direction

;)

[rich adder]

store it inside a coroutine variable, make sure u dont run it multiple times
start new Coroutine wont stop previous so might cause issues

[tidal kiln]

i cant read it all right right now but peek the queue and see if the vector has changed, if not dont do anything

[fossil gulch]

but that'd be mad annoying... you'd have to manually stop the player

1s I can show you guys what the issue is

https://gyazo.com/867ad9bdb00146d4c46e72fc019e078c

[tidal kiln]

actually not peek just get the dequeue vector

[fossil gulch]

Look at the rigidbody's speed

property

it goes back to 0 when touching the next grid point

which makes sense

because when a move is queued it's making 2 movements, not 1 (It's running the MoveRoutine coroutine twice)

And because the coroutine ends, the float also returns back to 0

so how can I make it move 2 grid points when holding a button and not stop on the first one..... that's where I'm stuck

the goal is to just make movement like an old gameboy game but in 3d

[tidal kiln]

ok im on break lemme check the code

ok so

you can set Forward to true, set isMoving = true, start moving, once you reach destination check if key is still down, if true just continue queueing another move

if im missing something lmk

[fossil gulch]

hmm let me try that

thanks

small problem

no clue how to do that

I've been looking through my code to see where I could put the check

[tidal kiln]

1 sec

[fossil gulch]

but the new movedirection is being selected at the top, and just replaying the coroutine again would lead to the same issue as I'm currently having

[tidal kiln]

private void CheckQueue() 
{
  float horizontalInput = Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal");
  if (horizontalInput != 0f || verticalInput != 0f)
            {
                Vector3 direction = new Vector3(horizontalInput, 0f, verticalInput);
                inputQueue.Enqueue(direction);
                RotateCharacter(direction);
return;
            }
transform.position = targetPos;
        isMoving = false;

        
        
        if (inputQueue.Count == 0) 
  
          animator.SetFloat("forward", 0);

}

sorry for formatting lol

you can put that after your while loop in in MoveRoutine

i think that should work or something similar

[vapid mesa]

hi, i try to make a link between two script but he tell me this:

i've done a serializerd fied but it don't work

[polar acorn]

Then something on that line is null but you're trying to use it anyway

What's that line?

[vapid mesa]

it is from another script

[polar acorn]

Then PickupItem is null.

Where do you assign PickupItem?

[vapid yew]

I think I destroyed my Unity project when I was deleting files in my C drive.

What are the consequences of deleting the Library folder?
Is there a quick way to repair project?

[polar acorn]

This is a class. Where do you assign a value to the variable PickupItem in your Animation Script?

[tidal kiln]

did you drag drop PickupItem

[polar acorn]

The consequences of deleting the Library folder is the next time you start up it will take a while

That's it

[vapid mesa]

i need to asign a value into my 2 script??

[polar acorn]

You have to tell it which PickUpItem you want the variable PickupItem to hold

[fossil gulch]

Other than the fact that this is a function and can't be inside of MoveRoutine, some variables don't exist (I've made them) and it doesn't fix anything. (Sorry if that sounds rude I didn't mean it in a rude way :( )

[vapid yew]

Well is it worth deleting trying to recover a corrupt project?
Do you have any other suggestions?

@polar acorn

[polar acorn]

I have no idea what "corrupt project" means, it could be many things. But deleting the Library can't make anything worse

It's purely ephemeral data and gets rebuilt if it doesn't exist on next startup

[tidal kiln]

my bad i copy pasted some things from your other code

remove the verticalinput part and RotateCharacter

what else is wrong

[vapid yew]

The error I am receiving is There were problems loading project Assembly-CSharp.csproj There's nothing wrong with dotnet and I can make/open other Unity projects.

What if I just deleted the .csproj files?

[vapid mesa]

how i can do that??

[tidal kiln]

you should be able to call that function from inside the coroutine

[polar acorn]

Usually by dragging it in

[fossil gulch]

The thing I need is to check whether the same key is still being held down that caused the initial movement, and if it is, continue moving without stopping, at the end of the Move Coroutine. (I just don't know how to do this) :d

https://gdl.space/ogohosumet.cs

[tidal kiln]

cache it once you start movement

then compare in the function i wrote

[swift sedge]

Not much will happen. csproj files are for opening in Visual Studio, so you can still use any other code editor

[vapid mesa]

i can't

[swift sedge]

Unity will regenerate the csproj file anyway

[vapid yew]

Is there an easy way to rebuild my project without having to fuck around?

[vapid mesa]

and i can't drag the scri^pt

[vapid yew]

There's nothing wrong with "my end" of the project. I just deleted a shit tonne of files when I was drunk without thinking.

[vapid mesa]

he reconize variable but they don't work

[vapid yew]

Realistically, Assets and Packages are all I need, right?

[swift sedge]

try it and see

[vapid yew]

That is not concrete.

[tidal kiln]

so basically define a variable called lastInput or whatever. after inputQueue.Enqueue set lastInput to the key that caused the movement. now in move routine, once the loop is finished youll check the input again. compare the new input to lastInput. if its the same queue another forward, if not stop the movement

[fossil gulch]

the problem is that queueing another movement would result in the same problem, as the player still stops upon reaching the grid point (as the targetPosition is reached)

[tidal kiln]

is there a reason for the queue

maybe you can scrap it

[fossil gulch]

the queue exists so that, if a button is held down, it doesn't stop upon reaching the next grid point and that you'd have to press the movement button again

[tidal kiln]

sorry i didnt get it

[rich adder]

and you didnt use Version Control why?

[vapid yew]

I never implied I was deleting any project files.

I thrashed my C drive from Microsoft bloatware(TM)

[tidal kiln]

cant you scrap the queue check input, start animation/movement, set isMoving true, if input is received while isMoving is true ignore it, once MoveRoutine finishes check input again, if its still the same dont do anything and let movement continue, if its different or none change/stop movement?

[rich adder]

doesnt make my statement any less valid

[vapid yew]

Maybe a few extra files were lost in the process, you can't help casualties.

[swift sedge]

realistically, all you need is the assets folder

[rich adder]

You still need project settings, n manifest

[vapid yew]

What is the path to: things like Project settings and my URP asset settings?

[vapid yew]

Exactly what I'm after

[rich adder]

just use Version Control and slap a gitignore

it know exactly what to back up

[summer stump]

Delete the csproj file and click regenerate project files inside the external tools menu 🤷‍♂️

Edit: Woah. There was a lot said after that. My bad

[vapid yew]

@rich adder Granted, I would still like to know the path.

[rich adder]

the path is the root of the project

ProjectRoot/ ProjectSettings
etc.

[vapid yew]

Oh cool, thanks

[tidal kiln]

i just reread it and it doesnt seem like the queue is doing anything that cant be done with the isMoving bool

[rich adder]

URP settings are typically Scriptable Objects so they exist in the Assets folder

[charred heart]

Hi, why my animation event not firing? I'm adding an animation event at runtime. It is expected to be fired at the end of the animation clip. This is my code:

private void DefineAnimationClipEvent()
{
     AnimationClip standUpClip = _animator.runtimeAnimatorController.animationClips.First(x => x.name == "StandUp");
     if (standUpClip.events == null)
     {
         AnimationEvent standUpDoneEvent = new AnimationEvent();
         standUpDoneEvent.functionName = "StandUpDoneAnimationEvent";
         standUpDoneEvent.time = standUpClip.length;
         standUpClip.AddEvent(standUpDoneEvent);
     }
}

private void StandUpDoneAnimationEvent()
{
    _npcBehaviorMode.NPCBehaviorMode = NPCBehaviorModeEnum.PathAction;
    Debug.Log("StandUpDoneAnimationEvent");
}

[vapid yew]

I can just copy that entire folder and paste over once I make a new project, right? @rich adder

[rich adder]

I would export project as Unity packages and click (include dependencies)

[vapid yew]

Great idea.

[short hazel]

Maybe standUpClip.events is not null, but empty (like a list with 0 elements in it would be; its Count would be 0)?
Make sure the code inside the if statement is running by debugging

[vapid yew]

I want to try delete the csproj files first and regenerate them before I start a new project. I know sln is a solution file, but can this also be regenerated?

@rich adder

[rich adder]

yes both can be deleted and regenerated

[languid spire]

the .sln and .csproj files are regenerated every time you open your project

[vapid yew]

@languid spire Then clearly I have other issues with my project then?

Also whilst I'm here, how do I change a material preset for TMP during runtime?

[rich adder]

https://forum.unity.com/threads/getting-setting-tmp-material-presets-via-script.923501/

first result

[vapid yew]

Nah doesn't work

[rich adder]

wdym "Doesn't work" ?

[charred heart]

My bad, you are right. standUpClip.events is not null, it just empty.

[vapid yew]

The default material preset persists.

[rich adder]

hmm worked for me last time.. weird. Gonan try it again

[fossil gulch]

I tried doing what you said but I just can't get it working at all

[tidal kiln]

ok gimme a minute ill show you what i mean

[vapid yew]

And that creates an instance of the material also.

That is unwanted behavior.

[tidal kiln]

https://gdl.space/temasiseje.cs

does that work

[fossil gulch]

What the hell, it does!

what did you change?

[tidal kiln]

oh wow lol

i removed the queue

[fossil gulch]

that's all?

[tidal kiln]

yup

and just used isMoving

the queue wasnt doing anything special

[fossil gulch]

the player is still technically stopping on the grid points, but at least the animation isn't glitching out anymore

wait let me show you

[tidal kiln]

sure

i dont really have a way to test it so that helps lol

[fossil gulch]

https://gyazo.com/47fedb163f0d8491fe7d953b3584b0a2
Look at the shadow

under the player

you can see that the player is still stopping by the shadow stopping for a split second

but that is something I'm willing to live with

and touching a collider causes a stack overflow lmao

or well, it seems trying to leave the grid causes a stack oveflow

[tidal kiln]

oh i thinkn the problem is with either the animator or the lerp

[fossil gulch]

https://gyazo.com/b6b4579f6d6e92eb4628e091a44f656e

[tidal kiln]

oh theres no lerp lol

[fossil gulch]

the shadow or the stack overflow?

[tidal kiln]

gimme a sec i gotta do something at my job

[timber tide]

the grid idea making me want to make some snake adventure game

[fossil gulch]

for me it came from playing old pokemon games

games like X&Y and Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire have this grid esque system as well

not that those are old, but they achieve it in 3D

[tidal kiln]

im also making a grid game based on a GBA game i played when i was a kid

megaman battle network

[fossil gulch]

ohh I think I might've played that as a child as well

[silver girder]

I Have an issue of play sound on collision here is the script:
***`using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class ExampleClass : MonoBehaviour
{
AudioSource audioSource;

void Start()
{
    audioSource = GetComponent<AudioSource>();
}

void OnCollisionEnter(Collision collision)
{
    foreach (ContactPoint contact in collision.contacts)
    {
        Debug.DrawRay(contact.point, contact.normal, Color.white);
    }
    if (collision.relativeVelocity.magnitude > 2)
        audioSource.Play();
}

}`***

[tidal kiln]

is there a collider at that edge?

[fossil gulch]

there is not

[tidal kiln]

thats the problem

i think

wait lemme check again

[silver girder]

can someone help me in the script ? pls

[rare basin]

debug the code first

and describe your isse

"i have an issue" doesnt tell anything

[silver girder]

wdym debug?

[rare basin]

identify what's not working?

[tidal kiln]

actually i think im wrong

[rare basin]

and why it's not working

[tidal kiln]

do you know where the error comes from

[queen adder]

Mate, its what you were told yesterday when trying to seek help.
You weren't describing your issue and someone had a painful experiance trying to extract information from you.

[fossil gulch]

no clue

all I know is that it tries to move off of the grid and that causes a stackoverflow

[delicate venture]

Hey guys, sorry to bother but I've reached a dead end so any help is welcome, so basically my game has a Quest System where the Player can interact with NPCs, depending on the NPC he can accept Quests, when accepting the Player needs to go after a specific item , if the player passes over the item, the item disappears from the world and appears in the inventory, the player returning with the necessary item to the NPC the mission is over

The problem is, I have a function that checks if the Quest can be finished, it checks all inventory slots and checks if the item needed for that quest is present, if it is present the player can talk to the NPC again, if this happens, the NPC removes the item from the player's inventory and the mission ends.

But this function to check if it can be finished isn't working, I've already tried using debug logs and breaks and it didnt return anything, so i dont know what could be causing all the problem (the console in VS returns zero errors too btw)

TL;DR i have a function that his purpose is to check if the Quest can be completed although i don't have any errors in vs or unity the function seems to not be working
