[hexed terrace]

no need for the pause in this case

[rocky canyon]

lol, its my preferred method.. b/c ShareX takes ages to Initialize sometimes

[hexed terrace]

Just depends if the issue happens on load or not

soo.. shun, are u following a tutorial.. or just making this as u go?

[languid spire]

so why are you even doing this?

[rocky canyon]

here you are basically rotating the the camera on its X and Y axis

[prime cobalt]

How can I check if an object is currently in a camera's field of view?

[rich adder]

also dont multiply by time.deltaTime

[rich adder]

You can try OnBecameVisible or whatever

[rocky canyon]

in my variation i Only rotate the camera on the Y axis.. and then i rotate my CC object on its X axis

this seperates teh two rotations and makes it simple for my CC to just move the direction its facing

[prime cobalt]

Ok thanks

[languid spire]

so you are doing game dev

[rocky canyon]

fun is objective 😈 (it def gets fun),
at the beginning not soo much fun (until it is)

[heavy temple]

can someone help me please. I am using Visual Studio 2022
I am trying to type the word private
but it wont let me.

what do i need to do

[rocky canyon]

type it inside the class

[languid spire]

I can tell you there is absolutely nothing 'fun' about game dev unless you are very dedicated to it

[rocky canyon]

and not outside the } ending bracket of the class

[heavy temple]

im new man you got to explain more

[fathom frigate]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[ivory bobcat]

You should only have members inside a class

[rocky canyon]

everything else in that code is inside the class's { } brackets

[heavy temple]

im following this guys video but he opens visual studio code and his base code is differnt from mine.

[heavy temple]

ok yeah when he opens code his bracket is right there always

[north kiln]

And fix your errors before continuing

It isn't going to help if you try to write code when your code is broken

[heavy temple]

holy shit my code is broken in the beginners code section?? who would of thought

[north kiln]

[heavy temple]

please stop talking if your not going to help

[north kiln]

Start with the other error before trying to add to your code

[wintry quarry]

He's helping you

[heavy temple]

when he opens visual studio code his code ends here at the bracket you highlighted

i got a bunch of other shit in my code

my code doesnt even have that bracket

[wintry quarry]

You're putting the "other shit" in the wrong place

[rocky canyon]

you have to add and remove brackets as u need them

[rich adder]

fixing error is part of help

[hexed terrace]

would be a great idea for you to go and learn what a class is, a method, their signatures ..etc, the basics, so these mistakes aren't made anymore and you can fix them yourself

[ivory bobcat]

You should not put other shit below that closing brace

[heavy temple]

this is what i mean

[languid spire]

not a good plan

[north kiln]

Nor the character immediately after that

[heavy temple]

there is no plan. I want to know my scripts start with 9 extra lines of code

[hexed terrace]

They've either edited their default script template, or deleted it in the video and you missed/ ignored it.

It doesn't take any coding knowledge to work out how to get your class in the same state as theres -> delete the extra code

[heavy temple]

i am copying this guys script exactly

[fathom frigate]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[heavy temple]

and i cant even type the word private

[languid spire]

bet?

[rocky canyon]

if u delete all the junk in the middle.. its the same format

one { and another }

[hexed terrace]

you weren't copying it exactly, otherwise you woudln't have the mistakes you had

[north kiln]

No you are not. @polar acorn increase the counter

[ivory bobcat]

Make sure you're aware of what Steve has pointed out (the extra {})

[heavy temple]

blocked

[rocky canyon]

the tutorial doesn't have this line

[heavy temple]

trying to copy it... cant type the word private because im typing in the wrong spot...

because my fucking code template is different...

[hexed terrace]

so.... fucking delete the extra code 😄

[north kiln]

There are other errors in the file. You will not be able to consistently type private until you fix them.

[rocky canyon]

its teh exact same.. delete the stuff in the middle!

[hexed terrace]

your template is the default template that everyone has

[rocky canyon]

#💻┃code-beginner message

and then its the exact same as the screenshot u sent..

[tender stag]

lets say i had a game object with a collider

and it had a script

[heavy temple]

terrible help

[hexed terrace]

you have a game object with a collider

[tender stag]

and then i did GetComponentInParent

[heavy temple]

but i get what your saying

[tender stag]

would it still like detect the object

[rocky canyon]

these two scripts are the exact same

[tender stag]

or only in the parent od that collider

[hexed terrace]

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Component.GetComponentInParent.html

[ivory bobcat]

What does detecting the object have to do with get component in parent?

[polar acorn]

I did it exactly like the tutorial so why does theirs work and mine doesn't" counter:
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 2024-4-05

[heavy temple]

holy fuck you people are terrible

sorry not even is not as smart as you

[rocky canyon]

and ur fucking blind

ur code is not the same.. open ur fucking eyes

[heavy temple]

lol im sorry i didnt write the word trying in my sentence

im am TRYING to copy his code

[rocky canyon]

yea, and the error is U DIDNT

we can't help u with reading

[hexed terrace]

calm

[heavy temple]

ill go back to learning and you guys can go back to whatever the fuck your doing

thanks for helping

[tender stag]

pretty much im asking if GetComponentInParent also does GetComponent

[hexed terrace]

the docs I linked to tell you

[wintry quarry]

yes it does

[tender stag]

yeah but its quicker to ask

[tender stag]

alright thanks

[rich adder]

at very least put effort to research things

[north kiln]

I have no idea why you decided to go off at me for trying to get you to fix the errors that caused the problem you were interacting with. Nobody can help you if you think everyone's out to get you. It was only after you were hostile to everyone's help did things truly go to shit

[hexed terrace]

in the 3 mins between me posting the link, and someone actually answering.. you could have read it in the docs 50 times

[tender stag]

its kind of hard while trying not to get hit by a car

[rocky canyon]

coin toss tbh

[rocky canyon]

lol, dodging traffic and learning unity?

[tender stag]

i want to know before i get home

lmao

so i dont have to waste time

if i was on my pc fair enough

i’d look through the docs first

[hexed terrace]

I mean, you're typing in and reading Discord.. you could have just googled it and read the docs

[rich adder]

download the whole unity API into your phone

[tender stag]

theres a difference between trying to read paragraphs and a short sentence

[tender stag]

real

[hexed terrace]

it's a short sentence in the docs 😄

[rich adder]

https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/OfflineDocumentation.html 🙂

[north kiln]

Not sure you can really use offline docs on a phone, but maybe there's some sort of reader for stuff like that

[rich adder]

yeah I use it often

[north kiln]

On a phone?

[rich adder]

its like a pocket unity bible

yea

[tender stag]

smart

[north kiln]

Huh, does the site just work straight from files or something

[rich adder]

they are just html files

[tender stag]

im guessing its like a pdf

[tender stag]

or that

[north kiln]

Yes, I'm just surpised phones can navigate that properly from their weird-ass file systems

But not entirely unexpected. Good to know

[heavy temple]

Your reply was not helpful at all. You told a new guy who knows his code is broken that his code was broken. you offered nothing of value.
You virtue signaled a reply ( akin to saying, you didn't learn like i did. Not good enough)

[tender stag]

bro stop crying and listen to these people

they’ve been helping here longer than u were alive

[heavy temple]

please stop crying

[timber tide]

ya need to learn general code and scripting before touching unity

[tender stag]

im pretty sure they are right

[north kiln]

dude uses "virtue signaled", fucking red flag if I've seen one

[timber tide]

unity isn't easy to just jump into with little coding knowledge

[rocky canyon]

and if u didn't notice Vertx is a Moderator.

funny to tell the moderator to stop talking

in his own discord

[heavy temple]

all youve told me is this is not the place to come for information

ill see you guys later

[rocky canyon]

its not.. its an optical illusion.. its just a fat ass cursor

[north kiln]

You have likely accidentally duplicated this script

[rich adder]

why do people get aggressive when they lack knowledge of something, but always take it as "talking down to " or whatever when suggestions come

[north kiln]

If your IDE is not generally underlining errors in red and giving you proper autocomplete you also need to configure it. !ide

💡 IDE Configuration

If your IDE is not autocompleting code

can't lose it that way, I guess!

[summer stump]

Yes, people do not take well to bullies like you. Bye

[rocky canyon]

ya, other than just trying to make it being visible during tutorial videos and stuff.. its quite annoying when i accidently Do turn on insert

[north kiln]

They left, and there was peace in the land

[whole idol]

these are my only 2 scripts

[hexed terrace]

but for how long

[north kiln]

yeah, you say that, but what about this

[rich adder]

are you trying to use regular fields in a static function / class?

[whole idol]

scr_Models.cs was outside of the Character folder, I've got that into Character folder just a few seconds ago

[north kiln]

Can you check again?

[rich adder]

jesus

[north kiln]

Then try restarting Unity

[whole idol]

based

[rocky canyon]

its the go-to when nothing makes sense 😄

[rich adder]

did you not save ?

[whole idol]

I did save scripts, nothing else was changed in the scene

[rich adder]

cause the bottom errors dont make sense
cs0708

[north kiln]

It all stems from the one error that has now been resolved.

[rich adder]

ah ok myb

[whole idol]

I have entered safe nerd mode cause apparently the issue hasn't been resolved, or it's not related to Unity being buggy

[north kiln]

Is the first error still there? If it's gone then you can start trusting the other errors

[north kiln]

It looks like your scr_Models script file tries to redeclare scr_CharacterController

[polar acorn]

Start from the top. You have two scr_CharacterController classes

[rich adder]

did they show scr_Models script?

[whole idol]

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

public static class scr_CharacterController
{
    #region - Player -
    [Serializable]

    public class PlayerSettingsModel
    {
        [Header("View Settings")]
        public float ViewXSensitivity;
        public float ViewYSensitivity;



        public bool ViewXInverted;
        public bool ViewYInverted;
    }
    #endregion
}

[rich adder]

well there u go

[polar acorn]

What is any of this

[rich adder]

same name of class

[north kiln]

Well there's your problem, why does scr_CharacterController exist in scr_Models

[whole idol]

Oh I just noticed that

[rich adder]

filenames and class dont match, sweet

[tender stag]

it just froze my phone lmao

[rich adder]

was about to say cause it wasnt declared as static in other file

[polar acorn]

1. Class name you're already using
2. Static class that has non-static things in it
3. Class inside of a static class

This is just very wrong

[rich adder]

really? are you on android ? thats what I use

[tender stag]

nah

iphone

thats why

[rich adder]

prob. I have custom app for reading html properly so links work

iphone doesnt let u mess with files easily

[north kiln]

You can have classes declared in static classes just fine, no?

Haven't checked but that should compile, the general issue is just the class name collision

Presumably the actual character controller is a non static MonoBehaviour and all the other errors are trying to resolve some imaginary partial class amalgam of these two

[short hazel]

Also why the scr_ prefix? If you want to categorize classes by their purpose, use namespaces

[hexed terrace]

what does scr even mean? Script? -> pointless

It's just gonna be a pain later on when you have 20+ scripts all starting with the prefix

[rich adder]

for me It buggs me when people even do SomethingBase for base classes

[hexed terrace]

🙂

[north kiln]

ECS development is suffixtown

[polar acorn]

Yes but it certainly indicates they're doing something wrong

UnassignedReferenceException: The variable cameraHolder of scr_CharacterController has not been assigned. You probably need to assign the cameraHolder variable of the scr_CharacterController script in the inspector.

I did assign it

[polar acorn]

It looks the variable cameraHolder of scr_CharacterController has not been assigned.
You probably need to assign the cameraHolder variable of the scr_CharacterController script in the inspector

[whole idol]

It's right here

[north kiln]

Then there's probably another instance in the scene

[polar acorn]

Try searching your hierarchy for t:scr_CharacterController

[short hazel]

It has its uses, the entirety of LINQ is based on that. Static Enumerable class that stores extension methods and private iterator implementation classes

[whole idol]

It's just the Player, nothing else has scr_CharacterController besides the Player

[polar acorn]

Can you show your hierarchy with that search input? While the game is running after that error has popped up?

[whole idol]

The error somehow disappeared?

[rocky canyon]

:sus: soo.. fixed then? lol

[whole idol]

thanks 🤝

[hexed terrace]

ive got some worker errors like that.

unity version change was the solution 😅

I made that code to instantiate a gameobject every second at a different location and it has to spawn away from the player, I made a prefab for the slimespawner, the first object of the prefab works, the second one spawns 3 slime at a time for five time, so he decrements slimeToSpawn once but spawns 3 objects

These are the 2 different objects

My code destroys a game object but apparently this same script tries to access the destroyed gameobject again (but the last time it is mentioned is when it is destroyed), what could be the issue? The error stems from the breakwoodwherenecessary() function

[prime cobalt]

Is there a way to check if a ui element is being masked?

[hexed terrace]

you destroy the game object, but don't remove it from the list

do a reverse for loop, and remove the index after destroying the object

[delicate venture]

am i doing something wrong? (i mean cleary i am)
the audio manager is in another scene and im trying to call him out from another scene

[hexed terrace]

audioManager = FindObjectOfType<AudioManager>()

Or make AudioManager a singleton

Awake is ran once, so maybe Awake on this is ran before the audio manager exists

but you haven't actually said what the problem is

[rich adder]

You cannot do cross-scene reference

you need a singleton for that

[carmine sierra]

sorry any way you can elaborate, never did a reverse for loop

[hexed terrace]

do forr in vs then tab

and it's a keyphrase that you can google to learn more about it

[carmine sierra]

thanks, i get the logic behind it but im not sure how it will work, would it be nested within the other for loop?

[hexed terrace]

no, replace it

a reverse loop starts at the end, and works towards the beginning, this allows you to remove items from a list as you go

doing a forward loop causes issues if you remove items

[carmine sierra]

so aswell as destroy .remove()?

[hexed terrace]

destroy gameobject
remove index

[carmine sierra]

ohh okay

how comes that doesn't work when counting up (if i need to remove the list index value myself)

[hexed terrace]

because you change the count

[delicate venture]

ill check it out thx

[hexed terrace]

first time round loop, index 0.. -> destroy object, delete index
element 1 is now element 0, second time round loop is now checking index 1, so what's now in 0 has been skipped

[rich adder]

here is more info with examples if you need
https://unity.huh.how/references/cross-scene-references#resolution

[dreamy urchin]

https://gdl.space/yowuyewuxi.cpp

I made that code to instantiate a gameobject every second at a different location and it has to spawn away from the player, I made a prefab for the slimespawner, the first object of the prefab works, the second one spawns 3 slime at a time for five time, so he decrements slimeToSpawn once but spawns 3 objects
These are the 2 different objects

[hexed terrace]

the first object of the prefab works, the second one spawns 3

this isn't clear. Do you mean SlimeSpawner works fine, but SlimeSpawner (1) doesn't?

[dreamy urchin]

yep

[carmine sierra]

ohh okay, so as the items will be moving towards index 0 when being removed, iterating reverse allows you to still check the remaining items?

if it were reverse you could miss some

[hexed terrace]

starting at max, say, 9.. then removing 9.. the other elements don't change position

[delicate venture]

sure
reference is always appreciated
i've run into "unity how" in the past, i didn't know they had a topic about cross scene too

[rich adder]

yup, most of the stuff is there. Its made by a mod here

[carmine sierra]

THANK YOU @hexed terrace it works

[dreamy urchin]

what do you mean? what part of the code?

[hexed terrace]

that was obvs not a reply to you

[delicate venture]

oh rly?
i didnt know that, thats cool
who is the mod just by curiosity

[dreamy urchin]

yeah but I didn't understan, so what's the issue you think?

[hexed terrace]

didn't understand what?

I've no idea what your issue could be

[dreamy urchin]

oh, alr ty anyway

[dreamy urchin]

someone please?

[rich adder]

vertx

[delicate venture]

thanks

[hexed terrace]

if you disable the spawner that works, what happens with the second spawner

[dreamy urchin]

that actually sounds kind of interesting but I already turned off my pc, I will for sure try it tomorrow

[hexed terrace]

You need to try different things to troubleshoot the issue.

The second spawner has the issue, so remove the other from the equasion and then work out the next move

[native seal]

Is there a interface similar to IPointerEnterHandler that will get called every frame while an element is hovered?

[rich adder]

IPointerStay

or something

ah no

you need two bools and use Update probably

[native seal]

or do i just do some bool for on enter/exit and upd

yea

ok

[floral roost]

How do I stop friction on the side of things, because whenever I jump to the side of something, it can just stick like this

[rich adder]

do a boxcast in that direction, if its blocked dont apply force

i suppose you can try the no-friction material thing

but its a crapshoot half the time

[floral roost]

if i were to do the no friction wouldnt i just slide everywhere on top of the platform

[rich adder]

not if you got drag

[queen adder]

Hi guys i accidently deleted something from my assets that i didnt know what it did, now background is purple. Anyone have any idea? it was a "material"

[frosty hound]

It was the material that was on the background. Select it and put another material on it.

Also not a coding question

[queen adder]

ok where would i put this question. Sorry.

and thank you

[rich adder]

#🔎┃find-a-channel

read the descriptions

[native seal]

anyone with experience using scenereference know how I can reference a scene using an onclick unity event? ie I want to select one here

the function that takes in a scene doesn't appear

[rich adder]

Scene isn't serialized type

[wintry quarry]

no chance

string is your best shot

or int (build index)

[native seal]

so no real point using scenereference then

since you could just load it by index anyway

[burnt wing]

does anyone know how to make a clickable button in game (fps, so no cursor)?

i'm making a grapple game

[rich adder]

clickable button as in Keyboard ?

or you mean physical world button

[burnt wing]

no like a textmeshpro button

[burnt wing]

yes

[rich adder]

make it a mesh no ?

[gray spire]

Ima be honest using VS code is kinda pissing me off because im creating a game and every time i open a new C# script it redownloads itself when i had just installed it.

you can use world canvas with button but you have to modify the Input module to work with fps view (locked cursor)

[burnt wing]

aight

[rich adder]

what redownloads itself?

[gray spire]

VS Code

[rich adder]

from where?

i never seen on any pc an app downloading itself lol

unles like a virus ig

[gray spire]

ike every time i open it, I see the set up window for Microsoft VS Code

and it puts me through the set up

[rich adder]

have checked the "dont show next time"

or watever

[gray spire]

thats not an option

it just keepts telling me to install VS code.

[rich adder]

which setup you speak of

[gray spire]

this one

[rich adder]

weird. Try installing for All Users?

I have no idea why it would keep showing that unless you clicked the intaller yourself 🤷‍♂️

[gray spire]

Nope, I have a desktop shortcut for it and for some reason it doenst seem to detect that I have it installed

It doesnt even open my script after "downloading" it

[prime cobalt]

How do I find which UI element is closest to the center of the screen?

[young fossil]

What is the difference between a C# (automatic) property and a public variable?

[rich adder]

many things

for starter one is a field and ones a property

property is like a method that runs every time you change it or access the variable

[swift elbow]

find the center pixels coordinates and subtract every gameobjs postion relative to that pixel

[young fossil]

How does it "run"? Could you give an example please?

[rich adder]

oh didn't see edit your wrote "auto"
like get;set; just as is

not much diff i suppose

[young fossil]

Right now, not much difference seems like no difference

[prime cobalt]

That's what I was doing but it wasn't working... Maybe I'll try making the distances absolute values.

[rich adder]

well if u write it like that kinda defeats the power of properties

get' and set are very powerful to use

[young fossil]

Been doing C++ and came back to C#. Not used to stuff doing loads for you with a couple of keywords like this

[rich adder]

What if I want an event to happen every time I set a value ?

[wintry nest]

anybody know how i can do something like this to make it work? GameObject objectCanvas = GameObject.Find("Object") || GameObject.Find("Other Object");

[rich adder]

use serializefields

gameobject.find one of the wrose methods to use

[young fossil]

Ah cool. That sounds cool. Where do you define the body of the property, aka the code that runs upon change

[rich adder]

 private string _name;
 public event Action<string> NameChanged;
 public string Name
 {
     get { return _name;  }
     set { _name = value; NameChanged?.Invoke(value); }
 }```

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/programming-guide/classes-and-structs/using-properties

[wintry nest]

serializefields to look for a string? can i look for multiple strings for one variable?

[rich adder]

no for your references.

You should not be using strings to find objects

that is brittle and error prone

plus very slow

[wintry nest]

oh do object references?

[young fossil]

Sorry, not understanding what you mean. Missing vital info in your question.

As navarone said, avoid using GameObject.Find. It's bad because:

1. A name is not a reliable value, it's just a string value that is not unique, meaning you can end up with dupilcates.
2. An extension of 1. The method doesn't tell you there's duplicates if there are, it just returns the first one it finds. Terrible for debugging.
3. I've heard that due to the fact it searches every gameobject it isn't performant

[rich adder]

for example [SerializeField] GameObject theObjectYouWant

https://unity.huh.how/references

[wintry nest]

kk, ty, ig ill just switch out of Find

[young fossil]

Better to break bad habits early

[wintry nest]

yep

[queen adder]

i just started and am watching a tutorial on how to use unity and i made a cube jump but the cube is supposed to jump higher when i hold jump any ideas why it isn't

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

public class PlayerMovement : MonoBehaviour {

[SerializeField] private Rigidbody2D rb;
[SerializeField] private float jumpForce = 10f;
[SerializeField] private LayerMask groundLayer;
[SerializeField] private Transform feetPos;
[SerializeField] private float groundDistance = 0.25f;
[SerializeField] private float jumpTime = 0.3f;

private bool isGrounded = false;
private bool isJumping = false;
private float jumpTimer;

private void Update() {
    isGrounded = Physics2D.OverlapCircle(feetPos.position, groundDistance, groundLayer);

    if (isGrounded && Input.GetButtonDown("Jump")) {
        isJumping = true;
        rb.velocity = Vector2.up * jumpForce;
    }

    if (isJumping && Input.GetButtonDown("Jump")) {

       if (jumpTimer < jumpTime)
        {
            rb.velocity = Vector2.up * jumpForce;

            jumpTimer += Time.deltaTime;
        }   else {
            isJumping = false;
        }

    }
    if (Input.GetButtonUp("Jump")) { 

        isJumping = false;
        jumpTimer = 0;
    }
}

}

Does it make get and set methods (GetCarNumber, SetCarNumber... etc) redundant?

[queen adder]

What?

[swift elbow]

read this #💻┃code-beginner message

[rich adder]

yeah but I still prefer methods some times

[rich adder]

the drawback of using properties in unity is they are not serialized in the inspector without a special attribute

reading code like that in the discord chat is a pain

You click save

You copy the changed url

You paste that url here

like that?

[summer stump]

Yep

[queen adder]

Thank you

[queen adder]

im watching a tutorial and i got the a square to jump but its supposed to jump higher when i hold jump

[summer stump]

The second if was likely supposed to be GetButton not GetButtonDown

If it WAS supposed to be GetButtonDown, then the tutorial is wrong

[queen adder]

Thank you !!

It works perfectly thank you so much !

[summer stump]

No prob. Just to clarify, GetButtonDown is only true for the single frame when you press the button. GetButton is true as long as it is pressed

[young fossil]

Another quick question about C# properties. Is it good practice to declare them and not leave them to default values? Even if it's an automatic property.

[rich adder]

you mean assigning value on initializer ?

[young fossil]

So for example

public int CarAge = 10;

I could just write ```cs
public int CarAge;

[swift elbow]

thats an error

[rich adder]

yes

you dont have to assign values

especially to value types

they all have defaults

[young fossil]

Isn't that bad practice?

[wicked stratus]

say i have a dictionary/list of a custom class- is there a way to instantiate a gameobject with that component, not just a clone of it? and can multiple gameobjects have that same compenent? (again, not just a clone, but a reference to the single component in the master dict/list)

[rich adder]

it really depends I think.

[young fossil]

Problem with automatic ones, it sort of forces you to use a default value

I am using it with bools

[native seal]

im blanking on c#, does setting an array = to another do a deep or shallow copy

[rich adder]

you're copying reference types

its the same object

sharing the same address of same house

[native seal]

so array.copy is needed

[rich adder]

it works

you can also use linq

but prob overkill lol

[native seal]

but if the array contains value types it will copy fine correct

enums, ints, etc

[rich adder]

it should

you can also use .Clone

[young fossil]

Btw for this, it doesn't. I was confused on the syntax

All makes sense. Thanks

[rich adder]

yeah non require you to assign when declared

unless it was like a const

[young fossil]

What I meant is I can write

    public bool GameIsPaused
    { get; set; } = true;
``` assigning it true on declaration to avoid ambiguity of defaults

[rich adder]

yeah ig. if you don't then its false no biggie

[kindred nest]

that's what happens with serialized fields, you can, for example, have one "Game Manager" Singleton class in one GameObject in your scene, and for each component/script you want to reference this exact gamemanager instance you drag that GameManager into the serialized field into the editor.

[rich adder]

i wouldnt make GameIsPaused public set though

good/bad practices considering

[wicked stratus]

even if i have multiple master components? I understand and use the game manager concept, i.e. audio handler, etc, but if it's many of the same class does it still work?

and i need to do it programmatically (? is that a word?) not via dragging

would i just do something like:

  obj.addcomponent<componentthatneedstobeadded>() = reftomastercomponent;

[kindred nest]

oh I think i see what you mean, there is a much simpler solution then

[wicked stratus]

basically if i instantiate multiple objects with a component set to the master component, if one changes, will they all change

i am not great at phrasing questions

[north kiln]

Just pass one pre-existing instance to the newly instanced object

https://unity.huh.how/references/prefabs-referencing-components like this

[wicked stratus]

and if thjat one changes it will change all of them, yea?

[north kiln]

There is only one

[kindred nest]

say you have a component <Enemy> and you want each enemy to hold a reference to <EnemiesMaster> or whatever, but you create them at run-time, so whenever you instantiate an <Enemy> you can A. pass it the reference then B. create a prefab where you can have a serialized field (assuming that the master is placed in the scene and probably should)

[wicked stratus]

let me explain my problem with the context, i think that may help

[north kiln]

You don't need to copy the component to every instance, you just need every instance to reference the single original component

[wicked stratus]

I have a bunch of samples that the player needs to analyze, and each sample is unique. you can have many of these samples at once, i.e. you can have 4 sample#1s, but the sample itself contains data on whether it's been analyzed or not, and if they have analyzed sample#1 then it should reflect in each of the sample copies as well

[kindred nest]

by itself? no, a given object has no idea what holds a reference to it (unless you implement that), so once you destroy/disable whatever they referenced, you will get an error when trying to call it's function or get any value

[wicked stratus]

i want each of these sample copies to have the same sample object, not copies

the sample object that is held in a dictionary

so like if there's a code on the instantiated object that's like

public void initializesample(sample ourSample){ //oursample would be sent in like so: initializesample(masterSampleDict[sampleneeded])
  sample = oursample;
}

would this accomplish that

[north kiln]

Yes

[wicked stratus]

ok, thank you

i'm trying to get better with phrasing 😭

I think some languages handle references differently and I always forget which ones do what

[kindred nest]

Just give it a guess first, see if it is a reference or not, i often just try-and-error, you can have some hilarious bugs on the way, just play with it and see what happens! Best way to learn for me, maybe not the most "optimal" but what the hell, make it fun

[wicked stratus]

thanks, haha, I'll work on that more too

[karmic kindle]

Hey, I'm trying to create a second path in my class, but I can't work out how to reference the other path in my movement script - is it possible without changing the whole code?

    public bool pathOne, pathTwo;
    public static Transform[] points;

    // Calculating the length of the path
    public static float totalLength = 0;
    public int calculatePath = 0;

    void Start ()
    {
        if(pathTwo)
        {
            points = new Transform[transform.childCount];
            for (int i = 0; i < points.Length; i++)
            {
                points[i] = transform.GetChild(i);
            }
        }
        else
        {
            points = new Transform[transform.childCount];
            for (int i = 0; i < points.Length; i++)
            {
                points[i] = transform.GetChild(i);
            }
        }
        PathLength();
    }```

How it's being referenced ```void GetNextWaypoint()
{
if (wavepointIndex >= Waypoints.points.Length - 1)
{
EndPath();
return;
}

    //furthestOnPath += 10f;
    ++wavepointIndex;
    target = Waypoints.points[wavepointIndex];
    runBack = false;
}```

[timber tide]

Such as another Waypoint object with its own set of points?

Then make yourself a List of Waypoints and reference by index, or just declare two WayPoints:
public Waypoints Waypoints1;
public Waypoints Waypoints2;

[karmic kindle]

Yeah. So Waypoints pathOne/pathTwo is set in the inspector

[karmic kindle]

Thanks very much! I'm giving this a go now.

[timber tide]

Get rid of the static keyword from your points of transform else each instance will be using the same points

[golden obsidian]

anyone know, why it wont allow me to drag the UI elements to my Script Fields? It just shows a back circle with a slash through it, but ive tried both with Text and Textmesh pro, for the text field, and now its not allowing me to do any buttons or input fields either?

[timber tide]

those are default reference fields which is usually for debugging. You should be inserting it directly into the object on the scene itself

[teal viper]

And you can't reference scene objects from outside the scene

[timber tide]

yeah, if it lives in your assets, it must be part of some instance like a prefab

[golden obsidian]

oh thank you i forgot to make a game object for the script so that makes sense

[karmic kindle]

I'm not sure how to translate what you said into my script... Sorry. In Unity, I have the Waypoint script on the parent object and enemies are spawned in, can I not make them reference the "pathOne" bool to follow those sets of waypoints from GetNextWaypoint()

[timber tide]

Depends how you want to structure this thing. Do you want this WayPoints class contain two (or more) different paths, or should WayPoints contain a different path each.

If you want to add all paths to a single WayPoints class then you need an array of points for each path such that:
public Transform[] pathPoints1;
public Transform[] pathPoints2;

Then for your method you can make a secondary such that:

void GetNextWaypointFromPath1()
void GetNextWaypointFrompath2()

Or if you make a List/Array of path points then you can make a method such that

void GetNextWaypointFromPath(Transform[] points)

You also need some indicator for what path you want to use, but I wouldn't suggest using a bool since that only restricts you to two different values

[karmic kindle]

Thank you very much for that. I'm trying to be flexible for a tower defense game, I was hoping that I could set a "startpoint" and then the enemy would follow the path that is made up of those child items. I'm being a total beginner by using bools to just set pathOne/Two/Three, as/when needed... In hope that I don't have to edit all of my prefabs

I'm controlling the spawnpoint when I want to use a different point like this, so I am trying to set a bool which could tell the enemy the path as well foreach (EnemyBlueprint enemy in wave.enemyWave) { if(enemy.enemySpawn != null) { spawnPoint = enemy.enemySpawn; } else { spawnPoint = defaultSpawnPoint; }

[bright zodiac]

Generally you choose Array.Copy or Buffer.BlockCopy for this.
.Clone is an ancient api predates back to framework 1.x

[rich adder]

ah yeah when i needed my usecase is simple so i do copy. I just recall that was also a method, didn't know it was that old though lol Good to know

[karmic kindle]

When testing, if I set the pathTwo bool & remove the other reference, the enemies will walk along the second path. I think I'm trying to do it the other way you mean, by having waypoints containing a different path each. I guess, with that method, I need to create an array and either count child objects or drag each waypoint into the inspector?

[timber tide]

A single WayPoint class is useful if you have a single instance such that it's the manager of these waypoints that all enemies reference. So, each enemy would only need to ask the manager for the path they are assigned to. The multiple different waypoint instances of the class that contains a single path each is useful if you do want to have a single array of waypoints per enemy, such that each enemy would be assigned an instance with a specific (or unique) path to follow.

I'd usually prefer the first solution, and just have all enemies grab from the manager as that's a lot less arrays of points you need to be instantiating.

[whole idol]

        var newMovementSpeed = new Vector3(horizontalSpeed, 0, verticalSpeed );

        newMovementSpeed = transform.TransformDirection(newMovementSpeed);



        characterController.Move(newMovementSpeed);

    }
}

[timber tide]

Consider pasting your code to a pastesite

[karmic kindle]

Awesome. With that said, my logic wants to create an array of paths in the scene and then send the enemy down that path. I'm happy with it being an array since it will be flexible and I can hold the position in an Int in my "spawn" code... If that logic works?

[timber tide]

Sure, arrays work

why does the player do this as soon as i put animations it stopped working

[teal viper]

You should be more descriptive with your questions.
Assuming you're referring to the character pose, this is the default humanoid pose when no animation is playing.

Not code related too.

Yeah my bad it appeared that i didnt have my animation on humanoid thats why it didnt work

Hey I'm trying to make a multiplayer game with the help of a tutorial using photon..
Everything works fine if there is only one player present in the room but as soon as there are two players in the room.. controls just get swapped.
I control the other player's character and vice versa.
Can anyone help

[rich adder]

probably did not follow tutorial correct or its bad tutorial. also#archived-networking

[signal tide]

There were only one issue while following the tutorial that when I was dealing with Main camera mine had some errors saying I'm trying to inherit Component.Camera so I changed the name..which works for single player
But again in two players I control other player

[hasty spire]

https://paste.ofcode.org/f3tgpHFMG32KFRzwB4HCW9 The Player recoil dosent seem to be working when i attack.

[slender nymph]

you overwrite velocity every frame

[hasty spire]

where do i do that? is that with the private void Move()

[slender nymph]

yes. just like you are preventing Move from being called for the duration of your Dash, you need to do the same for the duration of your recoil if you want it to work correctly

[hasty spire]

so if i did if(pState.RecoilingX || pState.RecoilingY) { return}; would that work hypothetically?

dosent seem to work

[hasty spire]

any other ideas?

[slender nymph]

you didn't bother providing any details about what isn't working about what you tried

[hasty spire]

i added if(pState.RecoilingX || pState.RecoilingY) { return;} this line right under dash, after i hit player movement freezes because pState.RecoilingX or Y depending on where i hit it from stay active

[slender nymph]

and why do you think that is?

[hasty spire]

give me a second to look through it again

there are no references to my void Recoil()

wait no

thats not it

is it?

[slender nymph]

well that's obviously part of it. but you also need to rethink the order of operations

[hasty spire]

is it based on where my return is?

[slender nymph]

read through your logic and figure out when/where you change certain variables and under what conditions you change them

[hasty spire]

ok give me a sec

ok wait, isnt it as simple as adding Recoil(); to update

let me try that

tried it it seems to be working

im stupid

[desert citrus]

@slender nymph hey im sorry for tagging im not sure if im supposed to but i checked about object being centered and it looks right to me and also pivot point looks about right?

[slender nymph]

what object is that code rotating

[desert citrus]

the player.transform

i think if that is what you mean

[slender nymph]

you could show what object is assigned as playerTrans if you are unsure

but if it is rotating that root object, then make sure that the parent of the object shown in the video is also centered on its parent. and set your tool handle to Pivot instead of Center so you actually see the pivot point of your objects instead of the averaged "center"

[desert citrus]

aight i will try that thank you so much i will not spam you anymore haha 🙂

The code: https://gdl.space/nazetihoda.cs

The Problem: The purpose of the script is that every time an object is added to the parentObject, it should save the name of the object in the list of prefabNames in the PlayerPrefs way, But the name is not added...

[queen adder]

Hey guys I have a question, how can I get an object position without caring about the parent it's in?
Like if I put an object as a child it transform changes but how can I ignore this feature if I'm getting an object position?

[slender nymph]

for starters "Assets/Resources/Items/ProfileItem/" will not exist in a build for the LoadPrefabsFromFolder method
and for the love of god please don't save this data to playerprefs. it's bad enough that you are saving data based on the name of objects, please don't bloat the registry with that data.

[slender nymph]

can you provide some context for what you mean by this?

[rich egret]

ah?
I have to keep it there, there is no other way.

[slender nymph]

why

[rich egret]

I'm trying to make some kind of inventory system for profiles

And I need the data to save forever

[slender nymph]

and why does that require you to save this data to playerprefs?
you can write it to a file in Application.persistentDataPath

[queen adder]

Well I want to get an object position and check if the player is clicking on its left or on its right.
The issue is that all the calculations are messed up since this object that I'm getting the position from is a child of another object so its transform position gets modified to the parent position and not to the world position anymore

[slender nymph]

it's transform.position property is the world space position

[rich egret]

I know but PlayerPrefs is more convenient for me

Why are you so against it? 😂

[slender nymph]

because you're trying to bloat users registry with useless data that should just be written to a file so that nobody has to go through and clear that shit out of their registry using sketchy tools or by looking manually

at least if you save it in AppData it can just be deleted from the file system easily

you're also going about saving this data in a very not good way. saving the string names of the gameobjects is silly. try looking into a tutorial for how to properly set up save data

[rich egret]

Because I tried to create my own way, save the names and then search for them in the folder to add them

[slender nymph]

yeah that's not a good system

and it won't even work in a build considering that folder with all your prefabs won't exist in a build

[rich egret]

This is for a start

[slender nymph]

and it is incredibly flawed and should be scrapped so you can start over and do it right

you will have to completely redo this if you want it to work in a build, so attempting to get it working as just "a start" is not going to be beneficial since the entire system will need to be scrapped for something that works

[rich egret]

Wow, I didn't know it was like that, so which system should you use?

This is what I learned in YouTube tutorials

[slender nymph]

what tutorial

How can you make a browser open a link in code? Is that possible?

Hey, guys! I have a small issue with my game here. So, when I am collecting the power ups and trigger the particles and I pause immediately and move to settings and then coming back my power ups particles and other particles are disappearing. I have my code to share with you if you can to provide some useful information in order to help me fix it please do it.

Go back to main game from settings method

{
    AudioManager.Instance.PlaySound(pressButtonSoundAudioSource, pressButtonSoundAudioClip);
    StartCoroutine(GoBackToGameButtonAfterDelay());
}

IEnumerator GoBackToGameButtonAfterDelay()
{
    yield return new WaitForSecondsRealtime(goBackDelay);
    RoundManager.Instance.currentState = GameState.Pause;
    optionsMenu.SetActive(false);
    SetObjectsActive(true, true, true, true, false, false, true);

    foreach (GameObject treeLog in treeLogsList)
    {
        if (treeLog != null)
        {
            treeLog.SetActive(true);
        }
    }
    foreach (GameObject gemParticle in gemParticleList)
    {
        if (gemParticle != null)
        {
            gemParticle.SetActive(true);
        }
    }
    foreach (GameObject powerUp in powerUpList)
    {
        if (powerUp != null)
        {
            powerUp.SetActive(true);
        }
    }
    foreach (GameObject powerBoostListParticle in playerPowerBoostListParticle)
    {
        if (powerBoostListParticle != null)
        {
            powerBoostListParticle.SetActive(true);
        }
    }
    foreach (GameObject powerBoostIncrease in playerPowerUpIncreaseScoreByTwoList)
    {
        if (powerBoostIncrease != null)
        {
            powerBoostIncrease.SetActive(true);
        }
    }
    foreach (GameObject powerBoostIncreaseListParticle in playerPowerUpIncreaseScoreByTwoListParticle)
    {
        if (powerBoostIncreaseListParticle != null)
        {
            powerBoostIncreaseListParticle.SetActive(true);
        }
    }
}```

Quick question
It seems the default fill value of an imagine is 1f and trying to set it anything higher won't work, so is there a way to have it clamp to a higher value?

[rare basin]

quickly looking at that code, this is terrible architecture

you should consider changing it

to something more extensible and more friendly to work with

[rare basin]

why would you want a higher number?

fill image is clamped between 0 and 1

1 being the maximum fill amount

[real vapor]

For ease of use.

[rare basin]

but 1 is the maximum

what you would expect to happen

above 1?

[wintry quarry]

1 shows the whole Image, what would be the point?

[rare basin]

treat is kinda like visibility percentage

0 meaning 0% and 100 meaning 100%

there is no such thing as image visible at 200%

[real vapor]

I meant having it shown 100% using a value of 0-100 or anything else instead of 0 to 1.

[wintry quarry]

Just do value / max

Then you can do whatever you like

[rare basin]

simple maths

[wintry quarry]

E.g. percent / 100 if you want it 0-100

[rare basin]

percent / 100?

so for example 50%, 50/100=0.5, how it's 0-100 then?

[real vapor]

Okay got it.

[deep quarry]

Trying to make a Player movement, but I'm getting stuck on the mouse rotation.
This is my CameraMovement.cs script:

    void Update()
    {
        mouseX = sensitivity * Input.GetAxisRaw("Mouse X");

        orientation.transform.eulerAngles += new Vector3(0f, mouseX, 0f);
        transform.eulerAngles = orientation.eulerAngles;
        transform.position = orientation.position;
        Debug.Log($"{orientation.eulerAngles.y} | {mouseX}");
    }

and this is my PlayerMovement.cs script:

    void Update()
    {
        MyInput();
    }

    void FixedUpdate() 
    {
        Movement();
    }

    void MyInput()
    {
        vertical = Input.GetAxisRaw("Vertical");
        horizontal = Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal"); 

        moveDir = transform.forward * vertical + transform.right * horizontal;
    }

    void Movement()
    {
        rb.AddForce(moveDir.normalized * moveSpeed);
        transform.eulerAngles = orientation.eulerAngles;
    }

However, when I look around it continue rotate, even though I don't move the mouse. How do I fix this?

[rare basin]

becaues you never reset it to zero

when you stop looking around

mouseX = sensitivity * Input.GetAxisRaw("Mouse X");

orientation.transform.eulerAngles += new Vector3(0f, mouseX, 0f);

you have += here

meaning if you dont move

it just won't add anything

but there is still a value from old rotation

[slender nymph]

if there's no input then mouseX should be 0 which means that would just be adding Vector3.zero to the rotation

[rare basin]

yes but there is still old cached

orientation.transform.eulerAngles

it's never resetted

anytime there is input, it just adds

if you stop moving the mouse, it doesnt reset

it just doesnt add anything

[slender nymph]

why would they need to reset the current rotation back to 0

current rotation + 0 == current rotation

[deep quarry]

well if I don't add anything then it shouldn't rotate? :c

[timber tide]

so is that what your debug returns though

[real vapor]

Isn't this correct? Nothing happens when pressing space. I checked and using other variables from the script works.

   if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.Space) && script.DashReady == true)
   {
       ratio = 0f;
       Debug.Log("RunBar");
   }

[slender nymph]

have you ensured this code is being called? and have you ensured that the bool you are checking is actually true?

[real vapor]

Yes I have, looking in the inspector it is true, and set to true at start as well
Could it be that in the other script it's being set to false when space is pressed?

[slender nymph]

yes, don't use the inspector to verify the values of your variables when things are not working the way you expect. the inspector will only display the last value from the frame. so if something set it to false for a very short amount of time, it's possible you did not see it. use the debugger or print the values

[real vapor]

So shod I try adding a small delay to the value getting set to false?

[slender nymph]

what? i don't even know where this code is being executed at so how should i know if that would fix it?

[rich egret]

The code: https://gdl.space/nazetihoda.cs

The Problem: The purpose of the script is that every time an object is added to the parentObject, it should save the name of the object in the list of prefabNames in the PlayerPrefs way, But the name is not added...

[slender nymph]

so you're still trying to fix the fundamentally flawed system that will not work at all in a build?

oh and what happens when an object's name gets (Clone) appended to it? you're not doing anything at all to handle that

but still, you should scrap this system and use one that won't bloat the registry on a user's computer and won't rely on game object names for logic

[real vapor]

This is what I'm doing in the other script.

[rich egret]

@slender nymph The truth bro, it works, I swear.

There was an error in the code this whole time

[slender nymph]

"it works" until you build the game because the folder you are relying on won't exist

[rich egret]

Don't worry, I'll change the system sometime, I have more important things to do in the game!

[slender nymph]

okay so if this object's Update method happens before the other class's Update method then the other will never work

[real vapor]

Hm.
So then how do I fix this?

[slender nymph]

i don't even know the purpose of these, but i'd assume you probably want some event instead 🤷‍♂️

[astral basin]

i have 4 audio sources' i want them to play one after the other ( when one ends the other one begins) and when it gets to audio 4 it goes back to 1 and replays them again kinda like autoplay on 4 audios, how do i do that

[slender nymph]

do you really need 4 separate audio sources for that?

depending on your unity version an AudioRandomContainer could be useful there. otherwise you could just use a coroutine, play a sound then wait until it is no longer playing then play the next one and so on like that

[astral basin]

tried a coroutine but i get this error

[slender nymph]

you are excluding some context that would explain why you are receiving that error

[short hazel]

Your function has the wrong return type

[slender nymph]

that's now how you set up a coroutine, don't use the generic IEnumerable

[short hazel]

It must be IEnumerator

[astral basin]

but then i get another error

[astral basin]

let me try

[rare basin]

also i suggest you change the function name

[slender nymph]

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

[rare basin]

isLooped suggest it's a bool return type

and it does a lot more

[astral basin]

still an error

[rare basin]

show the code

[short hazel]

And the error

[slender nymph]

did you even read the link?

[short hazel]

Still wrong return type

IEnumerator and that's it, no generics

[astral basin]

i didnt see it

one sec

[slender nymph]

also you still haven't said why you need multiple AudioSources for that instead of just a single audiosource and an array of clips

[quartz mural]

in this function the background is supposed to change

but for some reaosn it doesnt

it works for the wild pokmeon thoigh

[astral basin]

because im an idiot and i cant code for shit

question

more audio sources instead of a clips array means bad performence?

cuz this scene takes a month to load

[slender nymph]

it's not about performance. it's just unnecessary unless you have a specific need for more than one audio source. but yes, it should reduce the time it takes for the scene to load because it will have fewer objects to load
(although 3 fewer objects won't impact it in a really noticeable way)

[sage mirage]

Is it better?

{
    yield return new WaitForSecondsRealtime(delay);
    RoundManager.Instance.currentState = GameState.OnSettings;
    SetObjectsInactiveActive(false, false, false, false, true);

    DeactivateGameObjects(treeLogsList);
    DeactivateGameObjects(gemParticleList);
    DeactivateGameObjects(powerUpList);
    DeactivateGameObjects(playerPowerBoostListParticle);
    DeactivateGameObjects(playerPowerUpIncreaseScoreByTwoList);
    DeactivateGameObjects(playerPowerUpIncreaseScoreByTwoListParticle);
}

void DeactivateGameObjects(List<GameObject> objects)
{
    foreach (GameObject obj in objects)
    {
        if (obj != null)
        {
            obj.SetActive(false);
        }
    }
}```

[astral basin]

the scene itself has about 12 i can switch to arrays

the error is fixed, but it was a void before so i could attach the script to a dropdown, now its a coroutine so i cant attach it in the inspector

[slender nymph]

create a method that just starts the coroutine

[slender nymph]

so what is actually setting the background?

[queen adder]

i need help because my timer script is not working at all and i don't know what to do or how to fix it.
Problem: It wont count down or up.

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

public class Timer : MonoBehaviour
{
    [Header("Component")]
    public TextMeshProUGUI timerText;

    [Header("Timer Settings")]
    public float currentTime;
    public bool countDown;

    [Header("Limit Settings")]
    public bool hasLimit;
    public float timerLimit;

    [Header("Format Settings")]
    public bool hasFormat;
    public TimerFormats format;
    private Dictionary<TimerFormats, string> timeFormats = new Dictionary<TimerFormats, string>();


    // Start is called before the first frame update
    void Start()
    {
        timeFormats.Add(TimerFormats.Whole, "0");
        timeFormats.Add(TimerFormats.TenthDecimal, "0.0");
        timeFormats.Add(TimerFormats.HundrethsDecimal, "0.00");
    }

    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update()
    {
        currentTime = countDown ? currentTime -= Time.deltaTime : currentTime += Time.deltaTime;

        if (hasLimit && ((countDown && currentTime <= timerLimit) || (!countDown && currentTime >= timerLimit)));
        {
            currentTime = timerLimit;
            SetTimerText();
            timerText.color = Color.red;
            enabled = false;
        }
        SetTimerText();
    }
    private void SetTimerText()
    {
        timerText.text = hasFormat ? currentTime.ToString(timeFormats[format]) : currentTime.ToString();
    }
}

public enum TimerFormats
{
    Whole,
    TenthDecimal,
    HundrethsDecimal
}```

Your if statement in Update has something wrong, there's a semicolon ; at the end of the line so it will always run the block { ... } after it

[queen adder]

thanks

[quartz mural]

in the set up battl efucntion

it works for the wild pokemon encounters

but not for the trainers

[slender nymph]

and what exactly doesn't work? it doesn't set it to the one you expect, or is it not setting it to any sprite at all?

[quartz mural]

ill show u

so there r 2 scenes

grassy and cave

when i encounter wild pokemon in grassy

ill get the grassy background

when i do it in cave

ill get cave bakgrond

like this

[slender nymph]

please just answer this question

[quartz mural]

however

when i do trainer battles

in grassy

i get grassy backgroudn

which is fine

but wehn i do a trainer battle in cave

thats wen it gies wrong

[slender nymph]

then either the you are not passing the correct enum, or the assigned sprite is wrong

[quartz mural]

i get grassy background

but it workd for wild pokemon

the background is set

via battle system

[slender nymph]

have you bothered inspecting the values instead of assuming everything is the way you expect?

[quartz mural]

values

[slender nymph]

yes the only two values that matter here, the enum passed to the StartTrainerBattle method and the sprite being assigned

[queen adder]

pokemon game?

[slender nymph]

that is not what i meant. print the value of the variables in use so you can see what they are if you do not know how to use the debugger to actually inspect them

[ionic zephyr]

why doesnt it have the tick box?

to enable it and disable it

[slender nymph]

because there is nothing in it that would be affected by being disabled

[karmic kindle]

Hey, I'm having trouble getting my head around how to create a new variable based upon how many elements are in my array, I'll create a thread to throw my code in 🖖

[ionic zephyr]

the component itself I mean

[slender nymph]

i just told you why

[ionic zephyr]

sorry, I dont understand

[slender nymph]

there is nothing in your component that would be affected by being disabled, therefore unity does not render the checkbox to enable/disable it because that will do literally nothing at all

[ionic zephyr]

you mean parameters?

[slender nymph]

of course, in more recent versions that has changed so the tick box is there no matter what. but nothing will happen when you enable or disable that component so why should unity render that tick box?

[ionic zephyr]

But can I still disable the component by using code?

[slender nymph]

yes, but that will still do nothing at all

[ionic zephyr]

oh, so, what should I do?

[slender nymph]

for what? nothing is wrong here unless you are expecting anything to happen when the object is disabled

[queen adder]

https://hastebin.com/share/qipasozula.java i cant find the thing that is inverting the movement cause it is such a long script and people are getting mad at me saying the idea of inverted movement is "shi"

[slender nymph]

this isn't related to the issue you are asking about, but do not multiply forces by deltaTime, nor should you multiply mouse input by deltaTime. dt is already factored into the AddForce call, you're just making your multipliers about 100 times higher than they need to be in order to compensate for that. and mouse input is already framerate independent so by multiplying by deltaTime you just end up with stuttery mouse controls

[queen adder]

so remove the lines that multiply by delta time?

or shorten them?

[slender nymph]

remove the deltaTime multiplications for your forces and for the mouse input

[queen adder]

ok tysm

[slender nymph]

and of course reduce the values of the other multipliers to compensate

[queen adder]

i just remembered something i have a old movement script i haven't used since 2020 and i feel like it might work.

nvm

[karmic kindle]

I'm not great at explaining myself either but is anyone able to give some pointers?

[queen adder]

im going to begin using unity learn since i dont know anything about unity. ima continue.

[ionic zephyr]

what should I include to the script in order to be able to disable it???

[slender nymph]

why do you need to disable it?

like genuinely, what purpose is that going to serve for code that is not going to be affected in any way by being disabled

[ionic zephyr]

Its has an OnCollision method

[slender nymph]

which is not affected by the component being disabled

[ionic zephyr]

I want to disable the component so that cant play

[ionic zephyr]

it isnt?

[slender nymph]

no. your code has no methods that would be affected by being disabled. that's what i've been telling you this whole time

[ionic zephyr]

ok, no need to remark that

[rare basin]

you could ues dictionaries for that

backgroundImage.sprite = battleBackgrounds[battleTrigger]

Dictionary<BattleTrigger, Sprite>

extensible and designer-friendly

cuz if you want to add more backgrounds with current implementation it will get messy

with all the if/else checks

[astral basin]

line 178 never runs, why??

[wintry quarry]

lots of reasons:

• None of the code is ever running, including that line
• the else isn't being entered
• There's an exception before that line
• The object running this coroutine was deactivated or destroyed before you got to that line. Coroutines don't run on deactivated or destroyed GameObjects

[rare basin]

also

why do you have local function @astral basin

[astral basin]

1. it is running, i gets printed and it does what it needs to do before
2. wdym isnt being entered?
3. what does that mean
4. i didnt destroy or deactivate any object, only thing was button.enabled = false, could that hav affected it?

[astral basin]

because im an idiot ?

idk

[wintry quarry]

2. If the if runs, the else will not run
3. Any exception such as NullReferenceException or any other exception

if you have an exception you will likely see it as an error in the console

[astral basin]

2 but that shouldnt matter right? since the loop itself runs. it only gets stuck at line 178

[astral basin]

console is clean

only the print(i)

and print(hui") which was for testing

[wintry quarry]

you sure errors are turned on in the console?

[astral basin]

yes

i get the unity remote error

at the top

every time i start

[wintry quarry]

then the problem will be that your object was deactivated or destroyed

[karmic kindle]

Hopefully this is better - https://paste.ofcode.org/sjU769RZnnanHmLtX8Z4Ku

[astral basin]

but where

[wintry quarry]

Oh one other possibility:
Time.timeScale is low or 0

[wintry quarry]

in some other code that isn't pictured here?

[astral basin]

hwo do i check that

[wintry quarry]

print("Time scale is " + Time.timeScale);

[astral basin]

on start?

[wintry quarry]

why do it in start?

Better to do it right when it's relevant

[astral basin]

alright

putting it in the loop

time scale is 1

[wintry quarry]

how long is the audio clip

print that too

[astral basin]

oh wait

before that

[raw kindle]

I want to rotate the vector (0, Y, 0) by (0,0,Z) how do I do it?

[astral basin]

clip is about 9 minutes, in the app i haev a skip forward button that sets the time to +5, could that be whats messing with it?

[wintry quarry]

Vector3 rotatedVector = Quaternion.Euler(0,0,Z) * myVector;```

[wintry quarry]

well your code is going to wait 9 minutes then.

[astral basin]

its 0

[wintry quarry]

what's 0

[astral basin]

clip time

[wintry quarry]

print a label with the log

how do we know that's the clip length and not the i

[astral basin]

both of them are 0

[rare basin]

prove it

[astral basin]

ok

[rare basin]

that doesnt prove anything

[astral basin]

only 2 things printed are i and time

[wintry quarry]

that could be anything at the bottom there

[astral basin]

both are 0

ok

sec

[rare basin]

and show the code aswell

[wintry quarry]

Where and how are you running this loopDropdown function?

[rare basin]

@wintry quarry

[wintry quarry]

that doesn't answer my question

[rare basin]

it does

[astral basin]

running it in a script attached to the canvas, the funbctions itself is onvaluechanged when a dropdown option is selcted

[wintry quarry]

no it does not

[rare basin]

ow

the function, nvm

[rare basin]

you logged the wrong thing

[wintry quarry]

Can you show that code?

[wintry quarry]

yeah this is not the log asked for

[rare basin]

you logged time property

[astral basin]

what do you mean its attached int he inspector

[wintry quarry]

wanted to know the clip length

[astral basin]

isnt that what i did

sec

[wintry quarry]

Right and you are referencing which object to do that?

is it a prefab?

[astral basin]

oh

not a prefab

sec im getitng clip lengtj

[wintry quarry]

right so it's 9 minutes as you said. Are you actually waiting 9 minutes before determining that it doesn't run?

that's a long time to wait

[astral basin]

i use the skip button i mentioned earlier

[wintry quarry]

Your coroutine doesn't know anything about that though.

your coroutine is waiting 9 minutes as you told it to do

[astral basin]

so how do i let it know

[wintry quarry]

a couple options

[rare basin]

calculate the time it is supposed to wait

[wintry quarry]

simplest is probably:

yield return new WaitWhile(() => songsource[i].isPlaying);```

[astral basin]

so just replace yield return new WaitForSeconds(songsource[i].clip.length); with that?

[wintry quarry]

another option is waiting in a loop and using your own timer which you can manipulate when pressing skip

[rare basin]

try it and see lol

[astral basin]

alrightt

[astral basin]

"is playing cannot be used like a method"

[raw kindle]

how do I get the z rotation of an object, transform.rotation.z gives me number that are <1

[wintry quarry]

already fixed it in my edit

[astral basin]

thanks

[wintry quarry]

what are you actually trying to do? This is the wrong way

explain in words

not in terms of angles and numbers

[raw kindle]

I have a 2D gun, and I want to shoot bullets in the directions it facing, I want to get the postion that x distance away from it with respect to its rotation

[wintry quarry]

The direction it's facing is transform.up

the poisition x distance away would be transform.position + transform.up * distance;

you don't need to fuck with any angles

[raw kindle]

ok thanks

[wintry quarry]

you can also do transform.TransformPoint(new Vector3(0, distance, 0)) although that will also respect scale

[meager steeple]

 if (SpriteRenderer.flipX == true)
 {
     RB.velocity = new Vector2 ( -KBForce * NewCharacterMovement.speed , KBForce );
 }
 else
 {
     RB.velocity = new Vector2 ( KBForce * NewCharacterMovement.speed , KBForce );
 }```
for some reason this script is not adding a velocity in the x direction

[astral basin]

🥳 🥳 🥳

thank you for the help

[wintry quarry]

Have you done any debugging yet?

[meager steeple]

i dont know what to debug

[wintry quarry]

how about:

• Is this code actually running?
• what are the values of these numbers? -KBForce * NewCharacterMovement.speed

you know just the basic facts of the situation

[ionic zephyr]

why is there a layer in which all objects are invisible

[meager steeple]

kbforce works because it adds a velocity in the y direction, and newcharactermovement.speed is referencing a non 0 float from another script

[wintry quarry]

you're making assumptions

Debug.Log is your next step

you need to question your assumptions at every step

[meager steeple]

Debug.Log(RB.velocity);

its apparently logging a horizontal velocity but its just not applied

[wintry quarry]

sounds like the problem isn't with this code at all

it's with some other code

probably some other code is overwriting this

this is why we use Debug.Log

we have now ruled this code out as the problem and we are free to look elsewhere

[meager steeple]

yeah i think its because the velocity is set equal somewhere else in a fixed update function, but i dont understand how it would work for the y direction but not the x direction

[wintry quarry]

probably because it's not changing the y in that other code

[meager steeple]

yes ok i got it

this will be a pain

argh

[astral basin]

if the script is in the middle of running a for loop and then i tell it to run a diferent for loop will they both run at the same time or will the first for loop finish first

[wintry quarry]

if the script is in the middle of running a for loop and then i tell it to run a diferent for loop

What does this even mean?

Show the code?

code runs top to bottom, in order

and only one line of code is running at a time

barring multithreading which you would be very aware of if you were doing it.

[astral basin]

wait that doesnt matter anymore 3 more problems just came up that wil probably fix what i tried to fix when i fix them

[wintry quarry]

sure but from academic curiosity I'm curious about waht you mean, and we may clear up some misconceptions you have about how code runs.

up to you

[astral basin]

i get that its one line at a time i was just wondering if the code runs a for loop with a timer that takes 20 seconds, and while its waiting for the next command inside the for loop i press a button which runs a diffrent for loop. what happens

i assumed it waits but it doesnt

but it also doesnt does

nevermind

im overcomplicating

[wintry quarry]

I guess you're asking something about coroutines

because under normal circumstances "pressing a button" is not something that can be done or detected in the middle of a loop

[modest sluice]

i have this class ```cs
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.UI;

namespace GK
{
public class LSystemBranch : MonoBehaviour
{
public Transform plantPrefab;
public float minSegmentLength = 0.5f;
public float maxSegmentLength = 2f;
public float Length;
public List<Vector3> previousEndPoints = new List<Vector3>();
public List<Vector3> firstStartPoints = new List<Vector3>();
private int plantSegmentNumber;
public int totalNumberOfPlantSegments = 15;
public int numSides;
public Vector3 offsetrotation = new Vector3();

    void Start()
    {
        createBranch();
    }```

how do i create a LSystem branch object in another class and set some of the public variables before it runs?

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

namespace GK
{
    //add a branch
    public class Branch1 = LSystemBranch();
} ```

[astral basin]

so how does it work

forget about the issue

if u tell a script to do one thing and at the same time another while its busy

[wintry quarry]

you'd really have to show a code example because your question is a bit vague

[astral basin]

okay one sec

[wintry quarry]

this isn't possible in general so I'd like to see an example of what you mean

basically while the loop is running nothing else can happen, UNLESS we're talking about coroutines

[astral basin]

something like this

while btn() is running u call btn2()

if a script only renders one line at a time

does it just jump andcome back

cuz it cant leave a for loop

oh the waitforseconds is supposed to be in a for loop***********

[wintry quarry]

The way WaitForSeconds works is every frame Unity checks to see if the time has passed. If it has, it continues running that code. If not, it comes back again next frame

eithe way the code is not running at the same time

it will be something like:

Frame Start
Unity checks the coroutines. If time elapsed, the coroutine runs fully until the next yield
Update runs on your scripts and the event system and potentially you run btn2()
Frame End
Next Frame```

there's no magic

[astral basin]

i dont undestand anthing u just wrote

[wintry quarry]

What part are you confused about

[ivory bobcat]

how do i create a LSystem branch object

var branch = Instantiate(LSystemBranch);```
> set some public variables before 'Start' runs
```cs
var branch = Instantiate(LSystemBranch);
branch.Init(...);
branch.enabled = true;```*You could have the component or game object disable/inactive if necessary*

[wintry quarry]

Unity like most game engines runs on a frame by frame basis

[astral basin]

what happens practically

u press btn 2

it prints right away

[wintry quarry]

not really. It prints whenever that input is processed

most likely in your script's Update function

[astral basin]

and its only proccessed when th for loop is over?

[wintry quarry]

no

if there's a yield in the middle of the loop, the loop can be paused

yield pauses the code and lets the rest of the engine run

[astral basin]

ohh

[wintry quarry]

that's all that yield does

[astral basin]

so waitforsecondslets the line reader to read all the other lines in the code

without making it stuck

[wintry quarry]

if there's no yield, then the entire game engine is frozen until your code is done running

this is true for all code you write anywhere in Unity

(excepting multithreading but that's another subject)

[astral basin]

but it proccesse the code so fast u dont notice right

[karmic kindle]

I could be wrong, so apologies if I am, but, ignore the code you have written for a minute.

Logically, Unity will read your script from top to bottom - but, since you have set up Coroutines, it will run them AS WELL as the "Update" section of your code, so "Update" will always run, but you can control Coroutines with delays so they might not always run on every frame.

[wintry quarry]

yes

unless you screw up and write an infinite loop or other code that takes a very long time

then your game freezes or your framerate suffers

Yo guys, I have code that moves and instantiated object however when the object spawns on start, the code doesnt run. Anyone know what went wrong?

[astral basin]

ok i think i get it

[wintry quarry]

You'd have to show code etc

[south sky]

Cool hold on

Yooo nvm

[wintry quarry]

What script is this? What code isn't running?

[south sky]

I realised the problem

Its cool bro dw

[errant wedge]

is the tool bar suppose to be in the top left of the editor? Is there a way to reposition into the top left corner of scene view?

[wintry quarry]

https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/position-overlay.html

IDK how you got it there tbh lol

[boreal dagger]

Hi I just joined

I want to learn how to code in C#

Does anyone know any places I can learn?

[wintry quarry]

This is a great place to start https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/learn/csharp

[astral basin]

I have an autoplay system on my unity project that is selected by using a dropdown. if i set it to autoplay before i pressed the start playing music button, it enables all of the songs at once and when i press play it starts them all, however when i first press the play button and then press auto play it works just fine, i assume its becuase the auto play works by waiting for the song before to end before starting another one but none are playing since i havent started yet. i hope you get what i mean, i just havent been able to pinpoint the problem and find a solution https://codeshare.io/xLeb8R

[boreal dagger]

Ah okay thank you

[errant wedge]

I can still use the key binds so its not a huge deal, just trying to mimic the tutorial lmao

[burnt rampart]

Codecademy also is pretty good for learning the basics of programming. I wouldn't recommend the paid version personally

[wintry quarry]

Try Window -> Layouts -> Default

[boreal dagger]

I will try that

[errant wedge]

Tried all layouts doesnt effect the tool bar

[wintry quarry]

I can't even get the scene overlays out of the scene window IDK how you managed it lol

[uncut shoal]

How do I make the variables for 'ranged weapon' disappear if 'is ranged' is disabled?

[wintry quarry]

A custom editor/property drawer

Or use an off the shelf one like NaughtyAttributes

[errant wedge]

I think I know what it is

[wintry quarry]

i.e. https://dbrizov.github.io/na-docs/attributes/meta_attributes/show_hide_if.html

[errant wedge]

what version is current for unity?

[uncut shoal]

I already have NaughtyAttributes

[burnt rampart]

so I'm looking through an open-source GuitarHero clone project and I see they have a bunch of classes defined in their "Player" script, and I'm curious why?

[wintry quarry]

Then use ShowIf/HideIf

[uncut shoal]

so like, [ShowIf("isRanged", true)]?

[wintry quarry]

just [ShowIf("isRanged")]

[wintry quarry]

why not? They're probably used within the Player script

[burnt rampart]

I guess like what's the benefit over defining this vars in a class rather than just having them live in the main class?

[wintry quarry]

they become portable/reusable? You can make an array of them?

YOu can serialize them separately

you can copy them around

etc

[south sky]

Yo guys, I want an object in my game to recognise the player and always knows it transform.position but I cant make a game object variable as the object will be instantiated so using prefabs wont work, is there anyway to do this?

[wintry quarry]

assign the reference after you instantiate

[burnt rampart]

ooh I can see that, okay thank you, that does make sense I'll look through the rest of it baring that functionality in mind

[errant wedge]

@wintry quarry I think I was on an older verison of unity thanks for the help

[wintry quarry]

For example:

public class EnemySpawner : MonoBehaviour {
  public Enemy enemyPrefab; // assign in inspector to the prefab
  public Transform player; // assign in inspector to the player in the scnee

  void SpawnEnemy() {
    Enemy newEnemy = Instantiate(enemyPrefab);
    newEnemy.target = player;
  }
}```

[south sky]

I can do that???

[willow scroll]

Yes, the Instantiate<T>(T original) method returns the T spawned, so you're able to store its reference

[wintry quarry]

Well I can do it. And if I can do it, you can do it too!

[uncut shoal]

for some reason that isn't doing anything

[wintry quarry]

show what you tried

[wintry quarry]

did you save the code

[uncut shoal]

yes

[wintry quarry]

Do you have a custom editor for this script

[uncut shoal]

btw this is inside a class that doesn't inherit from monobehaviour, but I think this doesn't change anything because I was able to use attributes from naughtyattributes and unity before in class

[uncut shoal]

nope

[wintry quarry]

Hmm I think that only works for Drawer Attributes
