facing another issue now, it says that whatever button i click is wrong, even tho it clearly shows the middle button is correct

{
    if (isCorrect)
    {
        Debug.Log("Correct Answer");
    }
    else
    {
        Debug.Log("Wrong Answer");
        questionManager.checkCounter();
    }
}
void Update()
{
    if (isCorrect)
    {
        character.transform.Translate(Vector3.right * charSpeed * Time.deltaTime);
    }
}```

[wintry quarry]

The button object reference is probably incorrect

Also shouldn't the character be moving with that code? Is this even the same script?

[solid swift]

my mistake, i put the scripts correctly now, the character is moving, but i checked the buttons references and everything looks fine, but same issue persists

nevermind, i'll try something else, thanks a lot for help

[lost anvil]

What is the best, and most flexible way of incorporating an interaction system? - preferably one that will benefit me down the line when it comes to adding new features and so on.

[young warren]

if you're referring to the behaviour of objects when they're interacted with, i'd say using an interface would be ideal

[west sonnet]

How can I detect when an enemy is moving on the X axis? I want to use it so I can add a running animation

I tried doing rb.velocity.x but that doesn't seem to be working

I only get the Debug.Log once, then never again

for both, I mean

[fossil drum]

Then you probably have collapse on in your console

[ruby python]

Mornin' all.

I'm playing around with Unity's built in Spline System but having issues with a bit of code.

The idea is that the 'Knots' positions get updated using the KnotTargets objects. The weird issues I'm having is that a/ the random positions that I'm giving the TargetKnots seem to be divided by 100 or something as they're always really small numbers, and b/ (probably me being an idiot) My Lerp isn't working at all (the objects positions just 'teleport' to their new position and it's really confusing (regardless of the value I enter for the speed)

Anyone have any ideas? 😕

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

[west sonnet]

Oh yeah. thanks!

Is this code correct for checking when an object is moving along the X axis? Because it seems to work when the object begins moving, but if the player moves to the other side of the object, it changes to "No Run" and stays there, even tho it's still moving

[fossil drum]

Sure you can do it that way, you probably have the transitions set incorrectly in your animator I think.
But can't say without knowing your whole project, but I would start searching there.

I don't even understand why you use x instead of z, are you in 2D?

[west sonnet]

It works if I manually set the bool to true in the animator inspector

[west sonnet]

Yeah

[fossil drum]

What happens if you enable, disable, enable in your inspector then?

[west sonnet]

The transition works as intended. The object, in this case the enemy, transitions from idle to running

It works the first time my enemy sees the player. They run, but if the player jumps over the enemy, the enemy transitions to idle and stays there

[fossil drum]

Show a screenshot of your animator then

I want to see your transitions

[fossil drum]

Can you show the conditions at the bottom there?

[fossil drum]

Okay, everything seems correct...

So if you play the game, with this animator screen open, what does it look like? Do the booleans and transitions work?

[west sonnet]

I guess the boolean works because the Debug.Logs work, but the transitions don't. The first transition from entry to idle is good, then when the enemy sees the player, it transitions to running. But if the player jumps over the enemy, it transitions back to idle and stays there, even if the enemy is moving

[manic sundial]

could it be because the velocity is not exactly zero when you expect it to be

it might be a very small number, i'd suggest looking if its the case

[fossil drum]

Don't assume, verify.
I think what you made should work, but you can probably just see what's wrong if you play with this screen open.

[west sonnet]

But if I jump over the enemy, the enemy is still running towards me, just in the opposite direction, so surely that's not zero?

[fossil drum]

Huh? I thought you run, then went to idle, and never went to run again?

[west sonnet]

I'll give it a go later, but I've got to go now. Thanks for the help

[west sonnet]

Yeah, it never goes back to run again if the player jumps over the enemy, but the enemy is still moving towards the player

So the enemies x velocity must still be more than 0, right? because it's moving

[fossil drum]

It must be anything other then 0 yeah, not knowing how you move things, having a float being 100% a value is usually not the case. It's almost always somewhere in the region because of float imprecision.

So if you want to look if a float is equal to 0.5f, you almost never go through that if statement.

What flysand said is correct, just debug.log the velocity. Check if what you think its doing is actually what its doing.

i have this type of Attack method it works i can deal damage but the problem is with the animation. The animation never ends. Can someone help?

when attacking is true the animation starts but it never ends it get stuck at the and

couldnt understand what is the problem here

[slender nymph]

what is the condition to transition out of that state

[vagrant zealot]

when attacking becomes false

[slender nymph]

and where do you set that to false?

[vagrant zealot]

the piece i sent i cleared a bit normally in the Attack() function there is attacking = false; at the and

[slender nymph]

that's not the animator's attacking parameter

[vagrant zealot]

how can i set that to false

[slender nymph]

the same way you set it to true

[vagrant zealot]

didnt i set it to true in attacking = true; line

[slender nymph]

no because as i've already pointed out, that is not the animator's attacking parameter

you just happen to use that bool to set the animator's parameter right after setting that bool to true

[vagrant zealot]

so im setting the parameter with nim.SetBool("attacking", attacking); line did i understand correctly?

[slender nymph]

yes

[vagrant zealot]

this parameter has to be false so the animation can end

so how can i set this parameter false 😄

with a proper way i mean

[slender nymph]

look at how you are currently setting that to true. that's how you can set it to false too

[vagrant zealot]

private void Attackk()
{
    
    attacking = true;
    anim.SetBool("attacking", attacking);
    attackArea.SetActive(attacking);
    anim.SetBool("attacking", attacked);

}

did like this and my attacked boolean value is false but not my character does not enter to the attack animation i think the time between the lines are too short

[slender nymph]

what the fuck

[vagrant zealot]

wut

[slender nymph]

i didn't mean literally just copy and paste the line in the same place. obviously attacking is still true there

[vagrant zealot]

can you just write the code so i can understand better

[slender nymph]

no

[vagrant zealot]

downloaded unity like 45 mins ago so i dont have that much knowledge

[slender nymph]

then instead of just bumbling along, you should start by learning wtf you are doing instead of expecting other people to do the work for you. there are beginner c# courses pinned in this channel and the essentials and junior programmer pathways on the unity !learn site will go over what you need to know to use the engine

i did the running, jumping and the problem wasnt there for them now this error happens

[slender nymph]

then move on to the next bit where i told you where you can learn to use unity

[vagrant zealot]

and im trying to understand why

[fervent abyss]

hi
hows it called when the script cant be put on the scene and its just in your folder

editor script but opposite

or whatever

[slender nymph]

also it's pretty clear you don't understand how to use c# very well since it wasn't immediately clear to you that booleans are not reference types so just passing the bool to the animator once will not provide a reference to that bool so it will not update as the bool does

[timber tide]

prefabs?

[fervent abyss]

no

[slender nymph]

not a component? or do you mean something more specific like a ScriptableObject?

[timber tide]

scriptable objects?

[fervent abyss]

i dont remember how its called, but when you try to put this script on an object as a component then it will give you an error that you cant 😭

@slender nymph solved the problem. problem isnt about the boolean named attacking at all. the line i was trying to run anim.SetBool("attacking", attacking); was in the Attackk() it has to be in Update().

when i moved it to there problem solved

[slender nymph]

yes and that's what i was attempting to make you realize the whole fucking time

please go learn the basics

[ruby python]

Would anyone be able to point out where I'm going wrong please? I don't know why but Lerp stuff in a loop just won't sink in to my brain. 😦

Everything works great if I move the targetObjects manually, but the lerp only fires once.

 void UpdateTunnelSpline()
    {
        for (int i = 0; i < bezierKnots.Length; i++)
        {
            if (i != 4)
            {
                Vector3 knotTargetRandomPosition = new Vector3(Random.Range(-20f, 20f), Random.Range(-20f, 20f), knotTargets[i].localPosition.z);
                Debug.Log(knotTargetRandomPosition);
                if (knotTargets[i].position != knotTargetRandomPosition)
                {
                    Vector3 knotTargetCurrentPosition = knotTargets[i].localPosition;
                    Vector3 newKnotTargetPosition = Vector3.Lerp(knotTargetCurrentPosition, knotTargetRandomPosition, Time.deltaTime * knotMovementSpeed);

                    knotTargets[i].localPosition = newKnotTargetPosition;
                    bezierKnots[i].Position = knotTargets[i].localPosition;
                    tunnelSpline.Spline.SetKnot(i, bezierKnots[i]);
                }
            }
        }
    }

[slender nymph]

where do you call UpdateTunnelSpline

[ruby python]

In start and in update.

Was only in start for testing.

[timber tide]

usually dont use lerp with constant speed

even unity says you can in the docs, but you should consider movetowards

[slender nymph]

well that's a problem because you need to lerp over a period of time and not just call it once

also yeah, your parameters are more suited to Vector3.MoveTowards which will actually provide constant speed

[ruby python]

Yeah, like I said, I don't know what it is, but doing that just will not sink in to my noggin, it's such a weird 'blind spot'

Okay cool. MoveTowards I think I know how to do. lol.

[timber tide]

problem with constant speed like this is that it will slow down near the end of the destination

so not really linear

[ruby python]

Yeah I get ya.

[slender nymph]

but that is still not related to the issue you described, which was a result of you not calling this method continuously until the target position(s) has been reached

alternatively you could just put that innermost bit into a coroutine and loop until the position has been reached in the coroutine with a yield return null each iteration of the loop. then you won't have to rethink too much of your logic since right now each time you call the method a new random position is selected

[ruby python]

Okay, this is my update(), creating a new random position is the intent every time the loop is called.

    private void Update()
    {
        if(Time.time >= timeSinceMoved)
        {
            UpdateTunnelSpline();
            timeSinceMoved = Time.time + 1 / rateOfMovement;
        }
    }

[slender nymph]

yes, please re-read everything i've told you about this issue

you clearly did not get it the first time you read it

[eternal needle]

This also doesnt really make sense to be using delta time yet not calling something every frame

[ruby python]

I was just trying to be clear on my intent because when you said "since right now each time you call the method a new random position is selected" it seemed like you thought that wasn't the intent. Sorry.

[slender nymph]

i understood that was the intent, which is why that was part of the reason you should use a coroutine just for the lerping part so you don't have to refactor that

[ruby python]

Yeah, I'm going that route. Sorry, just a misunderstanding on your meaning.

(On my part)

[slender nymph]

wdym by "calculate rb.velocity"?

so you're actually asking about how to get the object's forward direction to multiply by your speed for the velocity? because that's just transform.forward

[ruby python]

Sorry fellas, but I'm really struggling with this, I know it's going to be something really bloody stupid on my part, but the target objects are still only updating once. 😕

Been looking at it for way too long now and can't seem to see why. 😦

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

[slender nymph]

coroutines do not loop automatically. you actually need to put a loop in there

[ruby python]

Ah bugger it. lol. Thank you.

Said it would be something stupid. lol.

[slender nymph]

i do recommend adding some logic to stop already running coroutines if you happen to call UpdateTunnelSpline before the currently running ones have completed

[ruby python]

Yeah, that was the next step. 🙂

[young warren]

what's the rotation you want, and what's the rotation it is now?

you can just set the rotation in the Instantiate call

instead of using Quaternion.Identity

find out what the X Y Z rotation you want is, then look up how to convert euler angles(which is what XYZ is) to quaternion

I am tryna get around with unity and get used to it by following the making of box runner frm brackeys but i have run into a problem.
I am trying to make a score system and i have defined a different variable for the text but whenever i try to put the actual text component in the text variable from the script, it doesnt work?

[young warren]

TextMeshPro's type is TMP_Text

Text from UnityEngine.UI is the old legacy text

you want using TMPro; instead

and use TMP_Text instead of Text

[meager crow]

alr lemme try

[young warren]

you're running into this issue because that tutorial is old and still uses the legacy UnityEngine.UI Text

[young warren]

you see in your last image, the component is called TextMeshPro - Text

if you were using the old legacy text it'd just be called Text

[meager crow]

ye i get, i also thought that it would be the problem but was not sure as to wat to use. Thanks!

[young warren]

you're welcome

you might also sometimes see tutorials use "TextMeshProUGUI" instead of "TMP_Text"

but that's because textmeshpro has 2 types of texts; one 3d, and one for 2d UI.
but they both inherit from TMP_Text

so just use that. it's easier to type and remember as well

Hi, I just want to know if using physical camera is better for making a fast paced FPS shooter(if not what are the differences between physical camera and not physical camera)

[graceful spruce]

I made a coin manager script with playerpref for saving on main menu and it works fine. However, I want it to so when the player wins level 1(a scene) then they get 300 coins and it updates on the main menu scene.

This is the coin manager script

{
    public static int coins;
    public Text text;

    // Start is called before the first frame update
    void Start()
    {
        coins = 200;
        PlayerPrefs.SetInt("amount", coins);
        PlayerPrefs.GetInt("amount");
    
    }

    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update()
    {
        text.text = "Coins: " + coins;
    }
}

and here's the win level 1 script

        {
            Destroy(gameObject);
            healthBar.gameObject.SetActive(false);
            Debug.Log("You Won!");
            Time.timeScale = 0;
            winMessage.gameObject.SetActive(true);
            isWon = true;
            CoinManager.coins += 300;
        }```

[keen dew]

but you can't just make an empty Waypoints object and expect that it has all the path points you want

presumably you'll have to assign it in the inspector but you'd have to show the whole script

[slender nymph]

you'll need to save the current amount of coins before moving back to the main menu since the CoinManager will overwrite the value in Start if you don't save it
oh and you'll need to remove that SetInt call in Start and use the returned value of GetInt

[karmic kindle]

I have an issue with that Waypoints code as it is first - this loop seems to be taking the parent objects and not what I have set in the inspector and I'm not sure how to reference what I'm setting

        for (int i = 0; i < pathPoints1.Length; i++)
        {
            pathPoints1[i] = transform.GetChild(i);
        }```

[karmic kindle]

Here's the whole Waypoint script - https://pastebin.com/eAeS3B5H

[keen dew]

This isn't related to your issue

Show the EnemyMovement script

[karmic kindle]

Waypoints are only referenced at the bottom - https://pastebin.com/5WwqTeSH

[keen dew]

Right, you can't do new with MonoBehaviours and it wouldn't even make sense here because you'd just create an empty waypoints component that has nothing in it. You have to add public Waypoints waypoints; and drag the object with the Waypoints component into that slot in the inspector

[karmic kindle]

You mean on the enemymovement script?

[keen dew]

yes

[karmic kindle]

I'm trying to not do that since I don't want to change every object.

[karmic kindle]

The enemy that the script is on, has a path value, I am trying to get that to correlate with the waypoint script and I just can't work out what needs to be done

[keen dew]

You have to have some way to tell the script which waypoints you mean. It can't just magically read your mind

Presumably you're taking this code from a tutorial or something, don't they show how it's used?

[karmic kindle]

Correct. It used to be a static value. Hence the explicit call to begin with.

[keen dew]

So if you don't want to use a static value you'll have to assign it manually

[karmic kindle]

Which is what I'm trying to do, but while Unity likes the code... as soon as an enemy spawns, it doesn't have a value as you have said... I'm trying to work out how to assign it manually but my brain is so fried from all the back and forth and trial and error that I just don't know my name anymore.

But even then... the Waypoint is still not showing the correct child values anyway

[keen dew]

#💻┃code-beginner message

[graceful spruce]

Oh okay thanks so much, I removed the SetInt but. How do I save the current amount of coins?

[karmic kindle]

I'm trying to set up a Waypoint controller, not manually drag and drop things, let alone that the settings will change depending on the level

[keen dew]

Ok well, good luck with that then

[slender nymph]

call SetInt when you want to save the value

[hollow zenith]

How can I set object rotation to specific value? Like rotation.z = 270?
When I use:

Player.transform.eulerAngles = new Vector3(0, 0, 270);

It doesnt set z rotation to 270, but -90 or 90

[graceful spruce]

I tried this but didn't work

        {
            Destroy(gameObject);
            healthBar.gameObject.SetActive(false);
            Debug.Log("You Won!");
            Time.timeScale = 0;
            winMessage.gameObject.SetActive(true);
            isWon = true;
            winCoins = 100;
            int oldCoins = PlayerPrefs.GetInt("amount");
            PlayerPrefs.SetInt("amount", oldCoins + winCoins);


        }```

[graceful spruce]

So in the update function

[slender nymph]

you have to be more specific than "didn't work". what exactly didn't work

[graceful spruce]

winCoins = 100;
int oldCoins = PlayerPrefs.GetInt("amount");
PlayerPrefs.SetInt("amount", oldCoins + winCoins);

[karmic kindle]

-90 is the same as 270, why do you need to see 270?

[slender nymph]

and again, what isn't working about that

[graceful spruce]

Its not adding the win coins to the main menu coins

[slender nymph]

how have you confirmed that

[graceful spruce]

I have the coin counter ui text it doesn’t update

[slender nymph]

show where you are updating the coin counter's coin value

[slender nymph]

that does not update the value of coins

So this is the only thing I need to fix right

[graceful spruce]

bro why are you mad, jeez chill

its called a code beginner help chat for a reason

I’ll go fix it myself and not have to hear anything from you

[slender nymph]

i never said i was mad. i do not help people who refuse to learn the basics. if you continue to refuse to go learn the basics then i will just block you because i don't need you pinging me for nonsense

[graceful spruce]

Block me, dont worry I wont interrupt you anymore

[rare basin]

It is called a code begginer, but if you lack very basic programming knowledge

How can we help you

If you don't even understand the given help

[hollow zenith]

Its not the same, 90 face top and 270 bottom

oh -90

I changed it to go from 0 to 315 for all 8 directions.
I had to manually do it tho, need to find a better way 😛

[magic pagoda]

does anyone here have a tutorial on how to make an object bounce off of walls like Fistula from TBOI? Aka DVD logo movement

[slender nymph]

Vector3.Reflect to get the new direction, use the normal of the surface that was bounced off of

[magic pagoda]

welp to the unity scripting API I go.

[ionic zephyr]

How could I do a movement based on Addforce so that the player needs to press the opposite input to stop (Inertia)

because Addforce is really difficult to control by itself

[modest sluice]

thes 2 init lines behave differently and as i would expect if the list at branchComponent1.previousEndPoints is working properly, but when i try to log values from the public List<Vector3> previousEndPoints it alwasy is empty or .Count = 0

      Debug.Log("here" + branchComponent1.previousEndPoints.Count);
         branchComponent2.Init(5, 15, branchComponent1.previousEndPoints, rotation, new Vector3());
         branchComponent2.Init(5, 15, new List<Vector3>(), rotation, new Vector3());

[slender nymph]

are you certain there are actually objects in the list? and if those two calls are behaving differently somehow, then you'll need to show the relevant code for that method

[modest sluice]

https://hastebin.com/share/gebedafemi.java

[slender nymph]

okay now describe how they are behaving differently

[modest sluice]

if branchComponent1.previousEndPoints has no values both object 2 and 3 here should look the same, but 2 looks as i would expect if branchComponent1.previousEndPoints was returning the correct values (it takes the end points of branch1 and use them as start points rotation sets it off to the side don't mind that)

            var branchObject2 = Instantiate(LSystemBranchPrefab); 
            var branchComponent2 = branchObject2.GetComponent<LSystemBranch>();

            Debug.Log("here" + branchComponent1.previousEndPoints.Count);
            rotation = new Vector3(30,0,0);
            branchComponent2.Init(5, 15, new List<Vector3>(), rotation, new Vector3());

            var branchObject3 = Instantiate(LSystemBranchPrefab);
            var branchComponent3 = branchObject3.GetComponent<LSystemBranch>();
            branchComponent3.Init(5, 15, new List<Vector3>(), rotation, new Vector3());

[compact shuttle]

How can I fix the error?

theres something wrong about the 'true' but i dont know what exactly

[native storm]

is the gameOver a gameobject?

[slender nymph]

get your !IDE configured

[eternal falcon]

💡 IDE Configuration

If your IDE is not autocompleting code
or underlining errors, please configure it.

Select one:

• Visual Studio (Installed via Unity Hub)
• Visual Studio (Installed manually)
• VS Code
• JetBrains Rider
• Other/None

[compact shuttle]

GameOver is a Gameobject
gameOver is the function

[modest dust]

You have a ; after void gameOver(), but other than that configure your IDE

[native storm]

yeah you mising the ;

Also strange naming convention

[compact shuttle]

Well I use Sublime Text because I am on Ubuntu

[native storm]

You would want to name functions with capitals normally like GameOver

[compact shuttle]

and the configuration isnt working like im sent to the same ssite over and over

[slender nymph]

then use vs code. having a configured IDE is required to receive help here

[compact shuttle]

ok ill try

[modest sluice]

@slender nymph branchComponent1.previousEndPoints has the expected values when sent to the method in init, but is empty when i try to access them in a different method. they are both in the GK namespace

[slender nymph]

the namespace they are in is entirely irrelevant

[modest sluice]

i figured but i dont even know where to start

[slender nymph]

keep in mind that List is a reference type. so when you call Clear on previousEndPoints it clears the list that was passed in to the init method as the startatpreviousEndPoints parameter

[modest sluice]

i try and log it with Debug.Log("here" + branchComponent1.previousEndPoints.Count); before i use init

[slender nymph]

so? you pass the same list in before either of those objects use the lists because they don't actually start using them until Start is called, later in the frame or in the next frame.

log the info about the lists inside of Start right before you call createBranch() and you'll see what i mean

[queen adder]

Hi can someone help me with the unit 2D game beginner?

[slender nymph]

actually you aren't even passing the same list, you're just creating brand new lists for those subsequent calls so i have no idea what you are going on about with regards to those calls behaving differently

[slender nymph]

https://dontasktoask.com

[queen adder]

Why?

[slender nymph]

did you read it?

[queen adder]

so where do i get help? I'm a beginner

OH

mb

[slender nymph]

i never said this was the wrong place to ask for help

[queen adder]

TDAH

sorry

[slender nymph]

although if your actual question is not code related, this is the wrong place to ask and you'd want to use #🔎┃find-a-channel to find the most relevant channel for your question

[queen adder]

K ty

[modest sluice]

both before and after createbranch() it logs count = 15 ```cs
void Start()
{
Debug.Log("here1" + previousEndPoints.Count);

        GameObject BaseGO = new GameObject();
        BaseGO.name = "BaseGO";
        ren = BaseGO.AddComponent<MeshRenderer>();
        BaseGO.AddComponent<MeshCollider>();
        BaseGO.AddComponent<MeshFilter>();
        BaseGO.transform.position = baseLocation;

        mat = new Material[1];
        mat[0] = new Material(Shader.Find("Diffuse"));
        ren.materials = mat;


        //   BaseGO.MeshRenderer.material = new Material(Shader.Find("Diffuse"));
        GameObject prefabObject = GameObject.Find("BaseGO"); //prefabObject
        plantPrefab = prefabObject.transform;  //prefabObject

        createBranch();
        Debug.Log("here2" + previousEndPoints.Count);
    } ```

[slender nymph]

and is that what you expect it to be?

[modest sluice]

yes

[slender nymph]

also for the love of god stop with the useless "here" bs in your logs. log some actually useful info

[queen adder]

So, i was following the tutorial (2d Beginner: Adventure game) but when i was at Add code to make the player character move the course made me write this script:

But when i execute it the duck don't move

[slender nymph]

because you forgot to write the next line

[queen adder]

script: using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;

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

}

// Update is called once per frame
void Update()
{
    Vector2 position = transform.position;
    position.x = position.x + 0.1f;

}

}

Wdym?

[slender nymph]

i mean you are missing the next line of the code

[queen adder]

oh...

Sorry i have TDAH

[slender nymph]

i have no idea what that means

[queen adder]

adhd

[slender nymph]

yeah don't make excuses. i know for a fact adhd does not prevent someone from following a tutorial

[queen adder]

well now it's working... But wait

[polar acorn]

So does nearly everyone in this server.

Code still needs to exist to do something

[queen adder]

why the ducks are clonning?

[slender nymph]

you've changed the clear flags on your camera to don't clear

[polar acorn]

You changed the cameras clear flags. The default settings should work fine.

[queen adder]

What

[queen adder]

How do i change that?

to default i mean

Sorry it's my first day

[slender nymph]

right click the camera component and just reset it

[queen adder]

ok

[slender nymph]

also consider going through some proper courses instead of following a random youtube tutorial that isn't even providing good code/info

[queen adder]

i'm not

https://learn.unity.com/tutorial/set-up-a-2d-player-character?uv=2022.3&courseId=64774201edbc2a1638d25d18&projectId=64774230edbc2a143ab0e3a7#64d213e4edbc2a5ac4aea64d

It's literally a unit course

unity* i mean

but the layer is already default @polar acorn

[slender nymph]

nobody said anything about the layer

[queen adder]

OH

[polar acorn]

I think the course is fine, I don't know of a course that would just leave off the line that actually moves an object

[queen adder]

It's cuz i can't right click on it

[polar acorn]

Who said anything about layers

[slender nymph]

yeah i just kind of assumed they were following a bogus tutorial because they weren't paying attention to it and the framerate dependent movement 🤷‍♂️

[native storm]

Funny how the tutorial isn't even explaining the use of Time.deltatime

[slender nymph]

especially since 99% of beginners following a tutorial tend to find bogus ones

[queen adder]

Well, I managed to reset the camera but it keeps cloning

[slender nymph]

it's not cloning. your clear flags are still incorrect

[queen adder]

i need to reset here? Right?

[queen adder]

huh

[slender nymph]

it'll be in the environment settings i think

[polar acorn]

Open up all those categories on your camera and look for one that says clear flags

[native storm]

Does it have that option?

[polar acorn]

You need to set something to clear up the previous rendered image. Right now it's not doing that so it's just layering every frame on top of the last

A.k.a. windows solitaire effect

[slender nymph]

in the URP camera it's called Background Type

should be set to Solid Color not Uninitialized

[solid swift]

hi everyone, why is this field not accepting the square sprite?

[queen adder]

where

[slender nymph]

you are dragging a SpriteRenderer not a Sprite

[solid swift]

ahh!! thank you

[polar acorn]

It's called background type in URP. Yours is set to skybox but you have no skybox material. Change that to solid color for now.

[queen adder]

OH so that's the problem?

OH

[native storm]

gotta keep im mind if it does not accept something it usually is because the type it accepts does not correspond to what you are giving it

[queen adder]

ok i'm dumb

i just skipped that part cuz i thought it was just to change background color

but i like the black color...

[solid swift]

i want an image to be in place of that white box in the middle of screen, so i was trying to drag that into the inspetor so that its replaced with the script, but now that i found its sprite renderer thats there i cant get it to be replaced by a sprite, how should i do that?

[queen adder]

So i didn't changed that

[solid swift]

yep absolutely i just didnt realise that it said sprite renderer instead of sprite

[slender nymph]

then set the color to black. and don't skip parts of the courses you follow

[queen adder]

Ok ty

ty guys

bye

[polar acorn]

So, if you find yourself experiencing something different than the tutorial has, and you know you skipped something, that should probably be your first step to go back and try it

[polar acorn]

@queen adder ^ here's an explanation of what was happening and why setting a background fixed it. Just so you know its not some sort of arbitrary "make game work" button you had to press

[modest sluice]

the log here Debug.Log("previousEndPoints called from LSystem before creating branch2 = " + gets run before the LSystemBrnach method for branch1 runs so it returns 0. how can i make it wait for the branch to be finished before logging it ?

        void Start()
        {
           
            // Instantiate LSystemBranch object
            var branchObject1 = Instantiate(LSystemBranchPrefab); // Assuming you have a prefab for LSystemBranch
            var branchComponent1 = branchObject1.GetComponent<LSystemBranch>();

            Vector3 rotation = new Vector3(0, 0, 0);
            branchComponent1.Init(8, 15, new List<Vector3>(), rotation, new Vector3()); 
            var branchObject2 = Instantiate(LSystemBranchPrefab); 
            var branchComponent2 = branchObject2.GetComponent<LSystemBranch>();

            Debug.Log("previousEndPoints called from LSystem before creating branch2 = " + branchComponent1.previousEndPoints.Count);  // this line has no values for branchComponent1.previousEndPoints
            rotation = new Vector3(30,0,0);
            branchComponent2.Init(5, 15, branchComponent1.previousEndPoints, rotation, new Vector3()); // this line has values for branchComponent1.previousEndPoints

[slender nymph]

remember how i said all of this code runs before any of these objects Start method runs?

if you want the code that is on those object's Start methods to run when you call Init, then just put that code into Init instead

[modest sluice]

thanks, i did not realize they were async, would yield return how would i have to change it to use yield return?

[slender nymph]

they are not async

nobody said anything at all about any of this being async. Start is just called at a later time for these objects. only Awake and OnEnable are called immediately upon instantiation. then Start is called later in the frame or the next frame depending on when in the frame the object was instantiated. and your methods, being not asynchronous, will not be interrupted by that Start call. so this entire method here will have completed running before start is even called for any of those instantiated objects

[modest sluice]

thank that clears up a lot

[slender nymph]

again, if you want the code that is in Start to have executed by the time you instantiate the next one, put that code into the Init method instead

[modest sluice]

that worked beautifully

[vapid mesa]

Does anyone knows why this is not working? ```csharp
public void OpenPdfFile()
{
// Obtener la ruta completa del archivo PDF
string pdfPath = Project.RootFolderPath + "/Manual/" + "DataCraft_Manual.pdf";

        // Verificar si el archivo existe
        if (System.IO.File.Exists(pdfPath))
        {
            // Abrir el archivo PDF con la aplicación predeterminada del sistema

        {
            UnityEngine.Debug.LogError("El archivo PDF no se encontró en la ruta: " + pdfPath);
        }
    }``` It is supposed to open a pdf located on assets... but when i click the button it doesn't do nothing...

[hexed terrace]

first, use interpolated strings -> string pdfPath = $"{Project.RootFolderPath}/Manual/DataCraft_Manual.pdf";
(no idea why you were concatinating manual and the pdf anyway..)

Secondly, log out the path, make sure it is correct
Debug.Log($"Path is: {pdfPath}");

[smoky mauve]

is there any way to calculate roots with a different index than 2?

[cobalt urchin]

heeeelloooo i just starded unity and i want a sword in my game i have made a sword in blender and made some attacks/animations soyou now can attack with mouse button 0 and 2, but how do i make my sword deal damage

[hexed terrace]

https://www.google.com/search?q=unity+how+to+deal+damage&oq=unity+how+to+deal+damage

[rapid mountain]

create a function that deals damage, you could do this with a simple raycast or something like a an aoe effect where enemies within a certain radius gets damaged

[cobalt urchin]

thanks did i say its 3d

[modest dust]

A root is nothing more than x to the power of 1 / n

Simply do

public static float RootF(float x, float n)
{
  if (x < 0 || n == 0)
  {
    return 0; // Or anything else to handle this
  }

  return System.MathF.Pow(x, 1 / n);
}```

[rapid mountain]

cool! and goodluck with your game!

[cobalt urchin]

thanks

[dry tendon]

It still the same... and the most weird thing is that the rout is right

        public void OpenPdfFile()
        {
            UnityEngine.Debug.Log("Openning file");
            
            string pdfPath = $"{Project.RootFolderPath}/Manual/DataCraft_Manual.pdf";

            }
        }```

[slender nymph]

that's not a complete path

[dry tendon]

hmmm, why not?

[slender nymph]

use your file explorer to navigate to that path

hint: you cannot because it does not exist

[dry tendon]

but is an asset... and if I chose my pc rout is not gonna work in an other computer

no?

[slender nymph]

if you want to get the path to the project's Asset folder (and if this is for editor only), then just use Application.dataPath

[dry tendon]

lemme try

[dry tendon]

Something like this? string pdfPath = Application.dataPath + $"{Project.RootFolderPath}/Manual/DataCraft_Manual.pdf";

[hexed terrace]

🤦‍♂️

[slender nymph]

no, remove the RootFolderPath bit from that because it is literally just Assets

and use Path.Combine when combining strings for a path

[dry tendon]

... is it like this? I'm not really understanding what are you trying to say me string pdfPath = $"{Application.dataPath}/Manual/DataCraft_Manual.pdf";

[slender nymph]

I have the main menu music with a DontDestroyOnLoad script, but now i made a new script for the music in the specific scene but it doesn't work

[slender nymph]

that if statement will never be true

ahhh nevermind i see now 🤦‍♀️

is there a way to write it so that it checks if its anything other than the instance?

[slender nymph]

why not look up how to implement the singleton pattern in unity? that's what this is, a very naive implementation of that. so look up the correct way to do it

but also, is there a specific reason for this to be a singleton?

Hey guys! 🙂
I want to create an FPS Shooter and i wanted to ask how can i check where i am aiming at? I got something with Raycast, but as soon is a start to look away from obstacles, my bullets keep flying to the last Raycast. How can i do it more "free"?

[native storm]

Do you cast them from the center of your screen (Camera)?

[karmic kindle]

I've finally got my code to run and enemies follow two paths... but they get to the second waypoint and then move to the end of "path1"... this is the code to generate both paths -

        for (int i = 0; i < PathPoints1.transform.childCount; i++)
        {
            pathPoints1[i] = PathPoints1.transform.GetChild(i);
        }
        
        pathPoints2 = new Transform[PathPoints2.transform.childCount];
        for (int j = 0; j < PathPoints2.transform.childCount; j++)
        {
            pathPoints2[j] = PathPoints2.transform.GetChild(j);
        }```

[native storm]

Is PathPoints1 a gameObject you serialized?

[compact shuttle]

Its still the same

i configured the ide now

and changed names

but its still not working

[hexed terrace]

This sounds like you're just shooting towards the object hit by the raycast.. but you shouldn't, a gun fires in a straight line from the barrel. Your shot show be from gun.forward.. the raycast is for if you hit something.. not to aim at.

There are tonnes and tonnes of FPS tutorials

[karmic kindle]

Yeah. For my sake in the inspector I called one path "waypoints" and the other "wayplaces", I can see both paths work then they swap the third [step] with the other path (path1 step 3 is directed to path2 step 3 - and vice versa)...

[fast glade]

Okay thank you! 🙂

If your IDE is not underlining errors in red or autocompleting code,
please configure it using the link below:

Then as long as you have the correct parent objects in those serialized variables the path generation should be fine.
Not sure if getChild returns any children from any of your children though.

[compact shuttle]

it doesnt work to setup idk

[hexed terrace]

Follow the guide correctly.

[compact shuttle]

I did

[hexed terrace]

n't

[compact shuttle]

I cant choose VSCode

[karmic kindle]

I have two parent objects linked in the inspector, neither of those objects should be linked as far as I can tell

[hexed terrace]

yeah, you really need to make the effort to get VSC working correctly, there are errors here that aren't underlined

[short hazel]

If you just installed VSC, restart your computer (or log out then back in) so changes it made to the system's PATH are applied.

Looking into it now, thanks man.

[hexed terrace]

You also have unsaved changes... did you save it after changing the OnCollisionExit ?

[karmic kindle]

I've asked in advanced chat, but is anyone able to help me? The enemies walking along path 2 will jump to one of the waypoints on path 1, then go back to path 2... and vice versa with enemies on path 1. I've deleted the child objects and recreated them in unity but it still acts the same

[hexed terrace]

1- dont cross post
2- it's not an advanced topic, delete from there

[karmic kindle]

Done. The person who tried to help said they couldn't... noone else responded... I don't know what else to do to ask for help.

[hexed terrace]

You wait a bit and bump the question

I'm looking at your code now, what's the problem?

[karmic kindle]

The enemies walking along path 2 will jump to one of the waypoints on path 1, then go back to path 2... and vice versa with enemies on path 1. I've deleted the child objects and recreated them in unity but it still acts the same

[karmic kindle]

This is how the movement is called (the code pasted directly, not the link)

[hexed terrace]

share the full movement class

[karmic kindle]

https://pastebin.com/V8N5k8Ci

[hexed terrace]

If I were you, I wouldn't keep querying Waypoints for the next target.
In Start() I'd ask Waypoints for the path, and cache the path in EnemyMovement

Psuedo-y code

//enemy movement
private Transform[] path;

private void Start()
{
  path = Waypoints.GetPath(Enemy.path);
}

// waypoints
public Transform[] GetPath(int index)
{
  if (index == 1) { return path1; }
  
  return path2;
}```

then your movement is simplified to just using the path cached in EnemyMovements

[karmic kindle]

😭

[languid spire]

Also why are you caching Enemy.path and then not using the cached value?

[karmic kindle]

Is that just because there's no answer for why it isn't working? 😅 I've spent so long on getting this far... for it to act so weird... like... my brain

[karmic kindle]

Part of my testing

[hexed terrace]

It's because your code is VERY messy, lots of repeated code all over and I cba to debug it to find the problem... when this would clean it up dramatically and hopefully stop the problem happening -> as EnemyMovement will only have access to 1 path.

[languid spire]

I cannot tell if Enemy.path is being changed outside of the movementscript As you dont bother to log it

[native storm]

Sorry i looked at it, its a bit messy but it should be doing the thing where you are trying to achieve the lenght of the full path

[languid spire]

Yes, I get the impression the OP has never heard of passing parameters into a method

[hexed terrace]

They're a beginner/ student.. so, probably not yet

[karmic kindle]

I'm an amateur, I get help from people who fix broken code but there's never a teacher to say "do this" but even then, like Carwash has suggested, I'm not confident enough to change all of the code to reflect that change.

[hexed terrace]

and you never will be, if you never attempt it

I am here for a bit to help, create a thread

[honest vault]

happened to me before and I fixed it I'll look up the code

[karmic kindle]

Hah, wanker. Not all of us start with a teacher in a school or from the very basics like you, don't gatekeep because people like me try to learn from a tutorial online. Keep you snark to yourself.

[slender nymph]

you should consider going through a structured course that actually teaches you the basics of the language you are attempting to use. there are some great beginner c# courses pinned in this channel to help you get started

[karmic kindle]

Thank you very much. It took me so long to change the code to this, I'll try to change it like you suggested but my brain can't right now. I'll do it and hope for the best.

[slender nymph]

and no, random youtube tutorials that teach you unity concepts without teaching you the requisite c# and basic programming concepts are not sufficient

[karmic kindle]

The trouble is I have years of scripting experience, so there's so many of those tutorials which waste so much of my time because I know things, yet, 3 minutes in a 30 minute video will include [that keyword]....

[rich egret]

When I tried to enter the project from another computer, the text looked like this, does anyone know how to fix it?

[slender nymph]

and yet you don't know basic programming concepts like passing arguments to methods. go through the basics and actually learn them.

[languid spire]

That was not snark, just an observation. an example for you

    void Start ()
    {
        PathLength(Pathpoints1);
        PathLength(Pathpoints2);
    }
 
    public void PathLength(Transform[] Pathpoints)
    {
        for (int i = 0; i < PathPoints.transform.childCount; i++)
        {
            if (i == PathPoints.transform.childCount - 1)
            {
                return;
            }
            else
            {
                    int j = i + 1;
                    float calculatePath1 = Vector3.Distance(pathPoints[i].position, pathPoints[j].position);
                    totalLength1 = calculatePath1 + totalLength1;
            }
            Debug.Log("This is the path length #1 " + totalLength1);
        }
    }

[karmic kindle]

Thank you for all making an example of me. I hope the other beginners are also reading this.

[karmic kindle]

Your comment was to other people, about me and my skill level... that is snarky or just bullying if you simplify it more.

[languid spire]

it was a reply to carwash about your messy code which I happen to agree with

Anyway looking at your code to only thing I can see possible wrong is that Enemy.path is changing or the Transform children in the path are not set up correctly

[karmic kindle]

Thank you, I need to work out how to debug the list of the paths it's generating, so I can see if it's that or a unity thing (I'm also on a slightly older version yaddayadda) but my brain has had enough for the moment/today

[hexed terrace]

make a non-static public field so you can see the path transforms in the inspector

Delete from here and ask in#🖱️┃input-system

[vale karma]

okay thankuu

[karmic kindle]

I can see the path on the enemy itself, they travel correctly until [number 3], then switch paths... I was just going to try Debug.Log the names in the counter loop, so hopefully it's not the movement script doing anything

[hexed terrace]

Debug.Log($"Going to {path.name}", path.gameObject);

the path.gameObject makes that log ping the object in the hierarchy

[tawny bolt]

hi i am a new dev making a game names 29 u can call me gweam
why is this code not working ?

its a code anout when time slows down and aftera few sec it resumes and u can cancle it by leaving the shift open

[hexed terrace]

Read the docs for GetKeyDown

[tawny bolt]

ok iwill

i dont get what youre trying to tell me

[hexed terrace]

First line of the description..

[fervent abyss]

sup mates
i have an enum tabs that user is currently in, and they have numbers assigned. Im trying to do OnTriggerEnter and for example select other enum value by 1, but it doesnt work

public CurrentTab currentTab;

    public enum CurrentTab{
        AccountInfo = 0,
        Online = 1,
        Controls = 2,
        AppInfo = 3,
        Shop = 4
    }

if(arrowKey == ArrowKey.DownArrowKey && (int)computerUI.currentTab != computerUI.tabs.Length){
                computerUI.currentTab++;
                computerUI.tabs[(int)computerUI.currentTab - 1].SetActive(false);
                computerUI.tabs[(int)computerUI.currentTab].SetActive(true);
            }

[slender nymph]

be more specific about what isn't working

[languid spire]

missing (int)
computerUI.currentTab++;

[slender nymph]

that's not necessary

[fervent abyss]

yeah otherwise it would give an error

ok basically

[raw kindle]

I have two objects with a composite collider2d, when I move one to the other it just goes through it, but if I move it to an object with a box collider2D it collides like normal

[fervent abyss]

I have this enum value (number 0) on default

and i want OnTriggerEnter to +1 the enum and switch it to the next enum value

but it doesnt work

[slender nymph]

again, be more specific about what exactly is not working

and what debugging you have done to confirm that things are not working the way you expect them to be

[fervent abyss]

when i do ontriggerenter it doesnt switch to next enum value by number

[slender nymph]

and have you bothered doing literally anything at all to ensure that code is running?

[fervent abyss]

bruh yes

[slender nymph]

care to share with the class? or am i meant to read your mind

[raw kindle]

they are both at z=0 and the object thats being moved is using RB2D set velocity

[slender nymph]

try printing some actually useful information instead of just "pressed up"

for example, you can print the value of the enum variable before and after you increment it

check the docs and find out

[tall stag]

theres gotta be a better way to do this right?

[slender nymph]

do you know what a method parameter is?

[tall stag]

i think so

the thing in the brackets right

[slender nymph]

yeah so use one

[tall stag]

do i check like for the name of the button?

[slender nymph]

then all 7 of those methods get condensed into 1

[slender nymph]

no, you pass the name of the scene you would like to load to the method

[tall stag]

ohh right i get it now

[raw kindle]

How can I make composite collider of different gameobjects physically collide?

[tall stag]

i forgot that was a thing

[slender nymph]

they aren't part of the same composite collider, right?

[raw kindle]

no different gameobjects with different children

[slender nymph]

then it's just a matter of making them not triggers and making sure the rigidbody is set up correctly too

and of course moving them in a physics friendly way

[raw kindle]

they arent on trigger, they can collide with box collider2d of different objects

[slender nymph]

well none of this sounds like a code question anyway. so off to #⚛️┃physics with you

[raw kindle]

ok

[slender nymph]

and make sure you provide actual details when posting your issue instead of assuming everyone wants to play 20 questions with you to get the info about your setup

you're most likely right, although I believe my question wasn't missing much context, I just didn't like the condescending attitude. I will try better next time I need to ask a question 🙂

[alpine lava]

hey i have an interesting problem

in my unity editor, ive added the preprocessor directive #if UNITY_EDITOR to run some code that adds a bunch of Sprites to a dictionary in a scriptable object

• how do i make the data in the scriptable object data persist throughout the editor sessions and in the project build

[hexed terrace]

save the project

Hopefully not sticking my head in the lions mouth, but......I have more lerpy issues. lol.

So, I'm rotating an object in a coroutine based on a random rotation float (for the Z Axis). It works, sort of. But I'm struggling a little with some Maths.

IEnumerator UpdateTunnelBankRotation()
{
    float newRandomRotation = Random.Range(tunnelBank.rotation.eulerAngles.z - 45, tunnelBank.rotation.eulerAngles.z + 45);
    Debug.Log(newRandomRotation);
    while (tunnelBank.rotation.eulerAngles.z != newRandomRotation)
    {
        Vector3 newRotation = new Vector3(0f,0f,newRandomRotation);
        Vector3 interimRotation = Vector3.Lerp(tunnelBank.rotation.eulerAngles, newRotation, rotationSpeed * Time.deltaTime);
        //Debug.Log(interimRotation);
        tunnelBank.rotation = Quaternion.Euler(interimRotation);
        yield return null;
    }
}

Because I'm using Lerp, the While condition will never be met, sounds really stupid but been a long ass day lol. So I need to put in a 'threshold' check of sorts (if the rotation is within a certain range of the desired random rotation.

Any pointers please?

[languid spire]

Firstly never check a float for equality

[summer stump]

Don't multiply the third parameter of lerp by deltaTime
You generally want the first and second parameters to be unchanging too.

Consider smoothdamp or movetowards

[ruby python]

Okay. I did try rotateTowards, but it made the whole thing go batshit nuts. 😕 I forgot about smoothDamp

[alpine lava]

is that going to save the dictionary to the scriptable object and allow me to read it in build ?

[languid spire]

Dictionarys are not serialiazable by default in Unity

[hexed terrace]

ah, I forget if a dictionary can be serialized.. dont think it can

Oh I give up, rotations in Unity are so stupid. lol.

[ruby python]

Thank you, I'll have a look.

[alpine lava]

i guess i should just explain the reason im doing this

i want to get all the sprites in my project and add them to a script i made called SpriteLoader. this was so that i dont need to constantly add references to scripts of all the sprites i have in my project since adding them takes a lot of time
the sprites dont exist in the Resources location, so i cant use Resources.Load
for now ive been using AssetDatabase, but that exists only in the editor, and copying the files from the various locations to Resources.Load throws a bunch of annoying GUID errors that i just dont want to see anymore

is there some nice solution for this

[hexed terrace]

copying files shouldn't be producing GUID errors..

[sage mirage]

Hey, guys! I have a question. So, if my native resolution is 2560x1440 and I change it in my game to 1920x1080 for example. Can I somehow reset that resolution back to my native when quitting game? What I done was that in code but it didn't worked. I thought it will work also for the resolution because for my volume values it works.

{
    yield return new WaitForSecondsRealtime(quitButtonDelay);
    int screenWidth = Screen.currentResolution.width;
    int screenHeight = Screen.currentResolution.height;
    PlayerPrefs.SetFloat("MasterVolume", 1.0f);
    PlayerPrefs.SetFloat("SoundsVolume", 1.0f);
    PlayerPrefs.SetFloat("MenuVolume", 1.0f);
    PlayerPrefs.SetFloat("GameVolume", 1.0f);
    PlayerPrefs.SetInt("QualityDropdownValue", 0);
    Screen.SetResolution(screenWidth, screenHeight, FullScreenMode.FullScreenWindow);
    Application.Quit();
    Debug.Log("Game quits and editor play mode stops and our values reset to default!");
}```

[alpine lava]

it is because sprites are only sprites if the Meta file is copied with it. since the meta file contains the same GUID in both locations, unity throws a bunch of warnings

[hexed terrace]

you can copy/ paste/ duplicate files without issue.. I do it all the time, zero GUID errors..

Don't copy the meta files.

[alpine lava]

yes because youre not copying the meta file

how should i be converting the PNG file to a sprite then if i dont take the meta file with it

[hexed terrace]

or cut+paste

it'll create a new meta file ..

[alpine lava]

im not going to remove the file at the original location

[alpine lava]

and itll be marked as standard PNG and not sprite

which is why i copy the meta file

[hexed terrace]

and then you select all and set them as sprites in bulk

[alpine lava]

is there a way to do this in code ?

i dont want to do this manually

[hexed terrace]

probably, but click first image -> click last image with shift -> change settings is a lot quicker

[alpine lava]

yes i know about mass edits

im just asking is there a way to make all png files in a directory into sprites

with code *

[languid spire]

yes, write an assetpostprocessor script

[alpine lava]

im not sure what that is

[languid spire]

well you asked the question, that is the answer, so time to read the docs

[hexed terrace]

Google the keyword given to you

[alpine lava]

AssetImporter importer = AssetImporter.GetAtPath(assetPath);
importer.textureType = TextureImporterType.Sprite;
importer.SaveAndReimport();

thanks.

[frigid sequoia]

Any reason left one takes like 4 times more space? I used the same export and import methods and the left one is even smaller in resolution

[frigid sequoia]

What even is "RGBA Compressed"? I am pretty sure I did not set that up

[ruby python]

Okay, what in the love of all that is holy is going on here.

I really don't get it at all, this is driving me absolutely insane. 😕

https://streamable.com/0hx447

It's behaving as if after the first run of the coroutine has finished it's completely ignoring my 'cooldown' timer and the coroutine call in update.

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

[frigid sequoia]

At first glance seems like you are calling the Coroutine in Update everytime. You should check the current one is finished

Try scraping the whole timeSinceMoved thing and just add a reference to the Coroutine and check if it is null (reset the reference of the Coroutine back to null at the end of itself)

[torn kettle]

Hey man, tried picking this back up. I don't know why you said my VS Code isn't configured I'm looking just about everywhere and I have every extension installed correctly on the link you sent. I saved and fixed the OnCollisionExit caputilisation. Still no help 💔

[honest haven]

Hi i have a coroutine inside a coroutine like so ``` private IEnumerator WalkTowardsEnemyAndStartSlider(Vector3 targetPos)
{
Animator playerAnimator = player.GetComponent<Animator>();

    StartCoroutine(MoveTowardsPosition(targetPos));
    
    Debug.Log("caling while mocingr");
    
    currentState = GameState.Idle;``` but the debug is being called the same time as the movetowards potion. how can i wait for the movetowards has finished

[languid spire]

yield the startcoroutine

[honest haven]

yield return StartCoroutine(MoveTowardsPosition(targetPos)); like so?

its yield return?

perfect

cheers

[ruby python]

A Variation on this suggestion seems to have worked, thank you.

[torn kettle]

Good afternoon fellas, I'm running into an issue when creating an infinite runner game. I don't want the player to have access to an infinite jump loop. I was going off a youtube video but even with my code matching I'm still having issue.

https://paste.ofcode.org/qqptz43wFF5hHpUUA68nVn (this is mine)

When previously asking for help I was suggested about my capitalization in code and/or my VS Code not being "configured" but it looks fine and I have everything installed. Any suggestions? Anything is appreciated. 🙂

[short hazel]

Line 46: Unity won't call a function named onCollisionExit. It will call a similarly named, but nonetheless different function: OnCollisionExit (hint: compare the first letter of the name)

[hexed terrace]

Type ‘foo = abc;’ anywhere in a script, is it underlined red?

[torn kettle]

I fixed that, forgot to send an updated link.

[hexed terrace]

Having the extensions installed doesn’t mean VSC is connected to Unity properly/ fully

[torn kettle]

It is not underlined red.

Thank you guys for your help, I must've been missing something in your suggestions but now I have it properly working. I really do apprecaite it. I owe you a coffe ☕ 😄

what i referr by sens my chracter sensitivity

mouse x and y

[hexed terrace]

Your sensitivity hasn't changed, the movement is slower because you've slowed down time.. if you want the sensation of the sensitivity to be the same, then you need to increase it during slowmo

[tawny bolt]

how ?

i am going to send my player cam code

[short hazel]

That, or not take in consideration deltaTime in the mouse input calculation

[hexed terrace]

by multiplying the movement speed by whatever value

[dusk musk]

Hey everyone! I have a parent and child script. My parent script contains an integer declaration called value. In one of my methods this value is set to 10. Now in my child script, I want to set this value to 5, and other than that run all lines from the parent script. How would I do that?

Parent script: https://gdl.space/yanabaxiri.cs
Child script: https://gdl.space/akomalegul.cpp

[tawny bolt]

can you explain in furthur deatail cuz i a mstill quit new to time understanding

[slender nymph]

you shouldn't be multiplying your mouse input by deltaTime. it is already frame rate independent which is what the deltaTime multiplication is used for. by multiplying it by deltaTime you make your mouse input dependent on the time scale and framerate

[hexed terrace]

value is a keyword and you should rename it to something else

[dusk musk]

Thanks. I'll rename it to pointValue. Then what? 😄 Thank you!

[hexed terrace]

I don't see why you need 2 scripts for this?

Just put the same component on two game objects

[slender nymph]

yeah just serialize the variable and change it for the individual instances

[dusk musk]

I'm doing the course on inheritance and polymorphism, and want to learn how to do it, this way.

[slender nymph]

you shouldn't be using inheritance just to change the value of one variable

[hexed terrace]

.Find() is terrible to use too btw.. string searches are slow and unreliable, if you spell a game object differently ("Player" instead of "player"), delete it, etc it.. there's no error to say it's not found because the string differs

[sage mirage]

Sorry for interrupting but your response was quite interesting for me. So, you suggest to use just GetComponent<>()?

[slender nymph]

GetComponent wouldn't be helpful at all there because you still need a reference to the object to call GetComponent on

[sage mirage]

So, how to get reference actually XD?

[slender nymph]

there are plenty of better ways to get a reference than using the Find methods though

[sage mirage]

I am using GameObject.Find() and GetComponent<>() I don't know how to get reference otherwise

[slender nymph]

click the link i just sent and learn

[hexed terrace]

well you do now, because box just gave you a link..

[sage mirage]

Yeah! Could you please tell me why ?

[hexed terrace]

why what

[slender nymph]

wdym?

[sage mirage]

I am going to learn the new methods later

Why not to use Find()?

Everytime I am using find it helps me a lot

[slender nymph]

#💻┃code-beginner message
https://unity.huh.how/references#find-methods

[hexed terrace]

☝️

[sage mirage]

If you know what string you put inside

[short hazel]

Whether your game runs at 100 FPS (deltaTime would be at 0.01), or at 10 FPS (deltaTime would be at 0.1), you would still move your mouse the same distance in the same amount of time, thus making mouse input independent of framerate.
So, if in your player script you have something like xRot += Input.GetAxis("Mouse Y") * sensitivity * Time.deltaTime, it's incorrect. The multiplication by deltaTime should be removed as it links mouse input to framerate again, which makes movement unpredictable if your FPS are unstable.

[tawny bolt]

well i removed it and my mouse would not move att all would you like to see my cam script ?

[sage mirage]

I am using sometimes singleton method.

[slender nymph]

after removing the deltaTime multiplication make sure to adjust your sensitivity variable(s) accordingly

[sage mirage]

But i heard it is not recommended to make every class singleton.

[tawny bolt]

like ?

this is how i wrote my cam script

removed time.delta time

[slender nymph]

then reduce the values of sensX and sensY

and show the rest of the code if it isn't working for some reason now

[short hazel]

Decrease the sensitivity by a factor of 100, deltaTime is small so it was bringing the values way down

[hexed terrace]

No, it's not. You only make classes a singleton when it makes sense for them to be so

[sage mirage]

Yes! That's why I am saying.

You actually making instances of the class nothing else if I am not wrong

[hexed terrace]

Right, but you shouldn't be asking.. you've been given a link which explains it all

[sage mirage]

I hate reading to tell you the truth a lot of things something very short ok but I really don't like that method. I prefer to see tutorial or to hear it from someone.

It's not my learning style

I don't say that I don't like to read books if that what you understood

Reading text from a website or reading text from Discord is the same, no?

[sage mirage]

In website there are so many things that I have to catch them all from scratch

XD

I have to hear something that is straightforward related with my problem

[tawny bolt]

i tried this but then it just broke my cam

[slender nymph]

why are you subtracting 100? that makes 0 sense

you reduce the values you have assigned to sensX and sensY by a factor of 100

so if it was previously 100 you set it to 1

[tawny bolt]

ok

got it

[tawny bolt]

Thanks for the help 😁

[covert obsidian]

Hey, I'm trying to run code when a bullet is touching a zombie, I have no idea how and I couldn't find anything useful.
This code is in a script in a zombie, not sure if I have to call the funciton. I am new to unity.

void OnCollisionEnter(Collider other){
   Debug.Log("touched something");
   if (other.gameObject.CompareTag("bullet")){
    Debug.Log("bullet touched");
  }
}

🤷‍♂️

No one is gonna retype whats is readily available on an easy to use site..

[covert obsidian]

I have no idea what this means.

[slender nymph]

did you try reading it?

[covert obsidian]

No debug.log is being ran.

[ruby python]

Hey again all,

Sooooo, I finally have my rotation script working the way I want, so now it's just 'quality of life' stuff.

https://streamable.com/hmzejj

Could someone point me in the right direct on how to 'smooth' the rotation transitions? Ideally I'd like them to be smooth and not so jarring.

I did think about maybe lerping the rotation velocity, but not overly sure how to do that for the 'end' of the rotation cycle. 😕

[polar acorn]

So read the link and see what you might be doing wrong

[covert obsidian]

i originally read it wrong

doing what it says

[hexed terrace]

slerp instead of lerp?

[ruby python]

I'll give it a look in the morning. Had enough for today, my head is cabbaged. lol. But thank you 🙂

[fast swan]

could i have some help with sliding mechanics please

[covert obsidian]

Thank you, it works now.

[frosty hound]

Don't crosspost. You need to actually ask a proper question, which you have been told before.

[fast swan]

i need help with making a slide for a vr game like gorilla tag

[frosty hound]

That's not a question, try again

[fast swan]

can i have help making a sliding mechanic in my vr game?

[summer stump]

What have you tried, what hasn't worked?

[frosty hound]

Ok, if you're going to goof around, you're not going to be actually using this server. Read #854851968446365696 on how to ask a question.

no i just want to understand how to make a slide for a vr game

[rare basin]

man, do you understand

that you can make sliding mechanic

[fast swan]

no

[rare basin]

in 1000 diferent ways?

[summer stump]

And when you googled it, how did it go?

[rare basin]

with 1000 approaches and designs

we don't know what do you mean by slide for a vr game

we do not know what have you tried so far

and how do you want it to look

we are not wizards

[fast swan]

i want a slide

[rare basin]

don't be ignorant and respect our time, ask detailed, specific questions

[fast swan]

for a vr game

[rare basin]

somebody mute this troll

[fast swan]

im so confused

[frosty hound]

Don't flame it then? And we can all move on.

@fast swan find a tutorial and then return if you have issues. Otherwise, stop posting, thanks.

[fast swan]

ok

[polar acorn]

You're going to have to explain what you mean by "slide" because that is not something that has a constant definition

How do you do a setTimeout in C#?

[wraith valley]

Hello, my cube can fly

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

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

    }

    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update()
    {
        float horizontal = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal");

        transform.Translate(Vector3.right * horizontal * speed * Time.deltaTime);
        if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.UpArrow)) { transform.position += Vector3.up * Time.deltaTime * velocity; }
    }
}

When my cube flips over, it starts flying up instead of moving forward or backward

[shy pollen]

so my brain is melting over basic maths, Im trying to essentially have a day/night cycle that lasts maybe 100 seconds total, but i would like to have the time of day represented in UI using the usual 24 hour timeframe, how do i go about calculating the seconds, minutes and hours to put on the clock?

[keen dew]

24 hours is 86400 seconds so you make the clock run 864 times faster than real time

[shy pollen]

sooo the value i would scale my seconds with to get 24 hour coverage is simply (86400 / DaySecondLength) ?

[keen dew]

right

[hexed terrace]

This is a code channel … Delete and ask in #📲┃ui-ux

[dusk musk]

Sure thing.

[devout spire]

I'm assuming this is a code problem.

The boxes are colliding, the enemies are correctly tagged, and my code follows what the tutorial I'm watching shows. I figure it's something with the OnCollisionEnter2D function and I'm just being a newbie, but I can't figure it out.

Oh yeah and player color is being correctly set, but it shouldn't even matter because something should still be output to the console even if the color doesn't match.

[hexed terrace]

you haven't said what your problem is

[devout spire]

Whoops I copied the question from another server without the title lol. The collisions aren't being detected and nothing is being returned to the console.

side note: use collision.gameObject.CompareTag(string) instead of == string

How do you do setTimeout in C#?

[modest sluice]

why is my array of GO saying out of bounds at 2+?

    public class LSystem : MonoBehaviour
    {
        public GameObject[] branchArray;
        public int numberOfBranches = 500;

        void Start()
        {
            branchArray = new GameObject[numberOfBranches];
            Debug.Log(branchArray[0]);
            Debug.Log(branchArray[1]);
            Debug.Log(branchArray[2]);
            Debug.Log(branchArray[3]); ```

[frosty hound]

Make sure your number of branches is set to a value in your inspector. You shouldn't assign a default value to public fields since the Inspector overrides it.

[modest sluice]

❤️ thanks

[devout spire]

I figured it out, thank you! It seems I had to enable the Is Trigger element on the enemies' collider components (which is weird that it was off because I downloaded a package for the tutorial )and add a Rigidbody to the player. That website also seems really thorough and helpful.

[hexed terrace]

It's off by default, a package wouldn't change that

oh, unless you mean the package had the enemies already setup inside it

[devout spire]

yeah it did

[hexed terrace]

then it's perhaps part of the tutorial to do that setup

[devout spire]

if so i was working ahead a little too much lmao

thank u though

[frail star]

Hello , everyone. I'm looking for some idiot help here , but I hate math honestly. I want to calculate a simple percentage. lets say I have 60 questions , 60/60 is 100%. would the calculation be like .. correct answer/total questions * 100?

[slender nymph]

yes

[frail star]

Ok , so now I would have to reverse this so I could say pass the test with a percent of 70%+ , how many questions would have to be correct to get 70%+

[slender nymph]

(percentage / 100) * total questions

and if you keep your percent as just a float from 0 to 1 except for display purposes you don't have to worry about those extra multiplication and divisions

it would just be percent = correct / total. and target = percent * total

[frail star]

I would want a display

[slender nymph]

right i never said you wouldn't. just keep the percentage as a float from 0 to 1 and only change it to 0 to 100 for display

[frail star]

Right that makes sense

start by making sure your !IDE is configured. then i recommend reading the docs about Coroutines

💡 IDE Configuration

If your IDE is not autocompleting code

is it possible to edit the shape of an EdgeCollider2D through code? preferably, by setting the points it goes through in order using an array of positions/waypoints?

[kindred nest]

Yup, pretty easy too, have a look at this discussion, not too far down there is a simple code example showing how to do this:
https://forum.unity.com/threads/how-to-set-edgecollider2d-position-via-script.257278/

[lusty flax]

thank you! this is exactly what i needed

[magic galleon]

Please could someone let me know how to set a variable in the same script from a coroutine, the coroutine triggers and is supposed to set a new transform.position

https://hatebin.com/zyamphzjsq

[modest dust]

And what happens instead?

An error pops up?
Doesn't seem to change the position?
Or what?
Provide more details

There are several things that could go wrong here depending on what you're doing and how

[magic galleon]

Thanks, it doesn't set it, I can print 'tar' and it is creating a vector 3 for sure but doesn't seem to set the value of targetTransform.position to that vector3

[modest dust]

Print out targetTransform.position and see for yourself if it does set it to tar or not

If the position goes back to what it was then something else might be changing the position of that object

Also make sure to print the actual values, not just a "tar" string or whatever, if that's what you did

[magic galleon]

Thanks for the advice, the value was constantly null, I changed the variable from a transform to a vector 3 and just used the vector 3 for the target for a nav agent and works now

[whole idol]

check ur prefab make sure it is zeroed out

[whole idol]

zeroed out? how?

[cosmic dagger]

its position and rotation values from the inspector . . .

[whole idol]

They're zeroed out

seems like he has some kind of meshcollider over him or smth

anyway we'll fix that later 👍

[cosmic dagger]

yes, the collider is at the wrong position/offset. if you click on the player, you will see that the bottom of the collider is on the ground . . .

can someone help me referencing this bool which is inside of a script which is inside of an object in ddol

    toplayer2build toplayer2Build;
    [SerializeField] bool player2BuildTurn;
    void Awake() {
        //Dictates whether it's player 2s turn to build or not
        if (toplayer2Build != null) {
            toplayer2Build = GameObject.Find("player2Turn").GetComponent<toplayer2build>();
            player2BuildTurn = toplayer2Build.player2BuildTurn;
        }
    }

this isnt working

i just need to get the bool

the first time this scene loads, 'toplayer2Build' doesnt exist, the second time it loads, it does exist

[covert flower]

im working in unity and have made a skill tree. what is an easy way to make it so that the skill tree progress saves after leaving the scene

[timber tide]

mr.json

well, json works but if you don't care if it persists between game sessions then make sure the data you're writing to and referencing isn't being destroyed between scenes

[opal vortex]

bump, anyone have thoughts on this?

[hollow shadow]

im not really familiar with events but why not give each instance an ID and tag the event with that ID? And only the matching instance will process it

[opal vortex]

sounds reasonable, i'd love to see an example of how to accomplish that

[hollow shadow]

send your code

[kindred nest]

how often these references can change? If not at all during run-time, you can reference an instance of a MonoBehavior using a [SerializedField] private <Type> <name>;
and then calling a <name>.function() on it. Otherwise I'm not sure what's the question here

[timber tide]

Yeah, take advantage of IDs with scriptable objects as it's easier to manage them with

[opal vortex]

well I don't have any code for that scenario. I've implemented a few events based on tutorials for triggering a response from every possible object with a listener, but when it comes to customizing it further I don't know where to start.

would it be as simple as just editing oneventtriggered to have an additional ID argument to reference and check if it matches the object with the listener?

[kindred nest]

you are referencing a single instance of a "die3" component, presumably somewhere in your scene, is that not what's happening when you have that OnEventTriggered() called?

[opal vortex]

but that just kinda leads into how do I get the events to know what object they're supposed to refer to while still being decoupled like events are meant to be

no that's just one example, like in this instance there are three dice objects that are all listening for that event, which tells them to apply the number they rolled to a target

they have separate scripts that determine the target based on dragging a line to a unit object and sending a raycast to get the targetgameobject

so the event has no idea what's being targeted

like this, isn't it beautiful

[kindred nest]

is the target different for each of these objects?

[opal vortex]

potentially

[kindred nest]

lovely art btw

has that self-made programmer "get shit done" style i love

[opal vortex]

so like currently the dice get an event to tell them to trigger, but the actual trigger relies on having a reference picked up and tracked by the die gameobject to know the target. I want to know how and if it makes sense to switch that part to also be an event

[frosty river]

Quick question: Tutorials I'm looking at have an Object tab under Navigation tab with checkbox "Navigation static" . But mine lacks that tab. How to get the tab or else enable Navigation static?

[carmine sierra]

i know im not meant to cross post but could anyone help in #💻┃unity-talk. i am stuck rn otherwise

[kindred nest]

if im understanding correctly all you need is for this event to pass a reference to a target, so that the dice know what to target?

[frosty river]

looks like this may have been moved to Nav Mesh component?

[opal vortex]

the current event doesn't need to, what I'm trying to work out is a new event that handles passing the specific dice result to the targeted unit

or if that's even useful and helpful.

in the current state the event that hits all dice triggers the bottom class here to run a function on the object stored from a raycast

Can that lower script be switched to use an event instead, and should it?

[gray spire]

So i made a script with a ship that follows the main player, i dont know if im stupid or just dont know but the ship follows the sprite.. sideways and i want it to follow from the front.. how do i fix it

[deft quarry]

Bumpy wumpy, I got cookies for whoever please helps me out

[kindred nest]

Did you try adding a target id to the event call? From what it looks like all you do is propagate an event to other gameobjects for them to invoke a different function, but without that "target" you dream of. AFAIK you can pass multiple arguments via UnityEvents

[gray spire]

bad drawing yeah ik'

[kindred nest]

not neccesarily, no, you should instead try to change the existing UnityEvent to a <GameObject, Target> type ideally, with the Target being whatever script is supposed to be a target. If you don't have that type defined yet and just want to draw it, a simple Transform or Gameobject will do too. You then call that OnEventTriggered with the second argument being the target derived from that Raycast you mentioned earlier

2-argument UnityEvent short documentation here https://docs.unity3d.com/2021.2/Documentation/ScriptReference/Events.UnityEvent_2.html

[opal vortex]

thanks, i'll give it a shot

[kindred nest]

I would restrain myself from over-using UnityEvents or loosely-linked Events, especially for core mechanics which this seems to be, and instead rely on [SerializedField] members. I usually use UnityEvents when it comes to non-crucial elements, like launching VFX, SFX, or similar

[scarlet skiff]

I have a an object that falls which has this script, but even when it hits the ground it keeps on rolling/moving, shouldnt this make it stay in place?

[jovial sable]

OfficialUnityDiscord.SetActive(false);

I just disabled this whole server

BAM

[kindred nest]

can you show the hasTouchedGround logic? when is that set to true or false?

[scarlet skiff]

im positive it runs

i think this is about me not understanding how or missing out on something regarding how the gravity and rb works

not a code issue

i could simply freeze position in the rb component in the x axis but.. i wanna know hwy this didnt work

[kindred nest]

i think this is potentially something to do with a difference between Update and FixedUpdate functions, Update is called each frame, FixedUpdate is called in a fixed interval, which is where physics are calculated for stability. If you want the rigidbody to be rendered completely immobile, you can simply set rb.bodyType=RigidBody2D.Static in the OnTriggerEnter2D. This will make it unresponsive to any outside forces though

if you want to keep the current logic, try changing Update to FixedUpdate() and see if that helps

[scarlet skiff]

uhm, even with this, it keeps on rolling

[kindred nest]

usually when something like this happens you want to make sure that code you changed executes in the first place, try adding a simple print("triggerEnter with Ground") somewhere inside that if statement and look in the debug log it if appears

[scarlet skiff]

sigh... u were right

how does that even make sense tho

the if statement itself did not change

[kindred nest]

I could try and shortly explain this, but the fact that you didn't change the if statement means it's code block did not execute even previously.
You are probably misusing the OnTriggerEnter2D or configured the collider components incorrectly, I'll point you here: https://medium.com/nerd-for-tech/oncollisionenter-vs-ontriggerenter-when-to-use-them-37b08f3249a5

[scarlet skiff]

i can confirm it worked previously, maybe i changed something without noticing, but the animation used to slow down, which confirms the second line inside the if statement is running

wait i see the issue

[kindred nest]

common breaking points in collision detection:

1. collision matrix incorrectly configured(unchecked when you expect them to collide)
2. OnTriggerEnter used when Collision is what you're looking for and vice versa (see article above)
3. collision matrix correct, but colliders/gameobjects have incorrect layers set which makes them skip your if statement in this case

[scarlet skiff]

my original problem was that the heart sometimes goes inside the ground, cuz the wya it worked is that it was a trigger collider and i simply just set the speed to 0 when it reaches the ground, but i didnt like how it clips into the ground so the tsrat of my solution was to ustilize a non trigger collider, and i tested a few things out and ended up forgetting to change the ground check to a OnCollision

rather than a OnTrigger

ye basically point 2 of what u said

[woven crater]

this seem to work on tile class and not tilerule?

[carmine sierra]

how can I get around ddol being exclusively for root gameobjects, I need to save a group of objects

[kindred nest]

by applying it to a root gameobject you ensure the entire tree persists across scenes. If you want only a part of it to stay, you need to first de-parent it, by simply saying gameObject.transform.parent = null and then call the DontDestroyOnLoad

[carmine sierra]

oh so putting it in a root object would still save all of the parents?

weird but if it works ill do it

[teal viper]

*All the children

Root objects don't have parents

[kindred nest]

so computer people are historically bad at naming stuff, hence usually the "root" in relation to some tree structure refers to the Object on the top, so parent of all parents in this case

or the ones that have no objects above them is a better way to put it

[carmine sierra]

ohh okay

[scarlet skiff]

is there a way to check if a public variable is being used in a different script without just removing it and seeing if errors pop up?

[kindred nest]

any Object/property has no idea by default what references them, so red squiggly lines from your IDE are your only easy option I'm afraid

if you have a structure/system that implement both-ways referencing, it's usually a good time to rethink your strategy anyway, so this shouldn't be a problem too often

[teal viper]

Right click it -> find all references

[scarlet skiff]

thanks

[hallow sun]

??? For some reason, my player's movement speed changes drastically by being selected in the editor.

[teal viper]

Probably frame rate dependent

[hallow sun]

The other objects maintain a regular speed, and falling through gravity is the same...

put any movemenets in FixedUpdate()

keep input in Update()

also id recommend directly setting the rigidbodies velocity instead of using moveposition

[faint sluice]

If you call a boxcastall in a direction, is the resulting array in hierarchical order or in "first collider found" order?

[timber tide]

not guaranteed so up to you to sort it

rather, it probably does add it into a orderly fashion, but if two objects are in the cast radius of a box, there's not discreet distance operations between the two

[south sky]

Yo guys, can a method reference another unity method. Like for example I have the method Movement() and I want to to have that method check for a collision when the player does something in the Movement() script. So is it leagal to do

  OnEnterCollider2D();
}

Why wouldn't you be able to?

Nvm

I was wrong

Sorry

[cunning rapids]

def main():
    return handleSomeBehaviour()

def handleSomeBehaviour():
    print("Hello world")

For instance

[south sky]

Yh I realised bro

You dont gotta rub it in😭

[cunning rapids]

I'm just giving you an example bro I'm not rubbing it in

Just a useful thing to keep in the back of your mind because it's something you'll be using quite often

[south sky]

Yh true

I am creating a simple quiz game after following the basics from this video tutorial (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BjgfxH5taUI&t=1229s), and I can't figure out how to retrieve the AnswerIndex value from one script (top right photo) and pass it to the UpdatePointsText function (different script) to check if the AnswerIndex matches the CorrectAnswerIndex. The AnswerIndex value changes based on the button pressed, similar to what was demonstrated in the video.The AsnwerQuestion(int answerIndex) is in a different script from the ones before "
I saved these parts of the scripts, as they are quite lengthy. If more code is needed, please let me know.

how to display the tmp text input value from one scene in another?
for example i have a button with a tmp text attached and its input is "placeholder", and i want to show that "placeholder" text in another scene if that button was clicked

Arrays are fixed size, you can't add new elements. Use a List if you want to do that.

[frosty hound]

Don't crosspost please

[carmine sierra]

gameObject.GetComponent<Camera>().Size -= p1WeaponFire.poschange;

why is this not valid

[languid spire]

because Camera does not have a Size property
https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Camera.html
you should really, really check the documentation BEFORE posting your questions

[carmine sierra]

i assumed i could edit it because it is in the inspector

how would I go about zooming out?

i can't tell if it's sensorsize (which didn't work for me) or lenshift

[frosty hound]

Depends on what type of camera you're using, perspective or orthographic

[languid spire]

making assumptions is anathema in software development. Don't just guess, check the docs, it will make your life much less painful

[carmine sierra]

orthographic

[final yoke]

for some reason when the collision happens all the functions get triggered but when the y of the object that the script is attached to reaches below -4 it doesnt trigger can anyone help me

[slender nymph]

for starters, you should be using the CompareTag method rather than string equality when checking tags. but also note that it has to collide with something after its Y position is less than -4 for it to do what you want

[languid spire]

Seriously? Can you not read your own code?

[slender nymph]

if you just want that to happen after it's position has reached that threshold without requiring it to collide with anything, then you need to check the position in Update or FixedUpdate

[final yoke]

chill brother , its called beginner code for a reason

[final yoke]

ok thx

[languid spire]

beginner is one thing but perhaps you would like to explain what you thought this was doing

[final yoke]

forgot that this line only triggers on collision because i added the transform trigger way after i did the collision trigger , simplr as that

[frosty hound]

Then yes, you change the orthographic size property on the camera

Hi, I am wondering, how do I make a boolean that checks if the player is actually moving? so what I mean is if he is changing his transform position YK private void Move()
{
float x = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal");
float z = Input.GetAxis("Vertical");

 Vector3 movePos = x * transform.right + z * transform.forward;

 controller.Move(movePos * speed * Time.deltaTime);

}

thats my movement when it comes to just walking

and I dont want to lose stamina only if I hold down shift while standing still

private void Sprinting()
{
if (stamina >= 1 && Input.GetKey(KeyCode.LeftShift))
{
speed = sprintSpeed;
Debug.Log("player is sprinting");
stamina -= 25f * Time.deltaTime;
staminaSlider.value = stamina / 100;
timeAfterRuning = timeAfterRuningSet;
}
else
{
timeAfterRuning -= 1f * Time.deltaTime;

    if (stamina < 100 && timeAfterRuning <= 0)
    {
        stamina += 35f * Time.deltaTime;
        staminaSlider.value = stamina / 100;
    }
    speed = 5f;
}

}

[keen dew]

isMoving = x != 0 || z != 0;

[blissful spindle]

uuh, I see okay thx 👍

If I have a job A that runs and which results in a capacity for a native container I need to create and pass into job B, is there a way of doing this without creating a sync point by calling A.Complete()? I can't allocate the native container in a job with a dependency from A if I understand it correctly

[hexed terrace]

@lost cypress don't use GetComponent in Update, it's an expensive call and isn't required.. you should be calling it once to cache (save a reference to) the component you need

[feral stirrup]

How do I make it clone from time to time?

[timber tide]

https://gamedevbeginner.com/how-to-make-countdown-timer-in-unity-minutes-seconds/

[feral stirrup]

mmh?

[rare basin]

did you read it?

[feral stirrup]

But I don't want to do that

[rare basin]

you want to Instantiate a object every X seconds?

[feral stirrup]

yes

I mean, an object is cloned, but it is not cloned instantly, it is cloned every so often, that is, a new obstacle every 1 or 2 seconds

[rare basin]

so read the link

it will help you

or use coroutines

or custom timer that you will handle in Update

[feral stirrup]

But that explains how to make a countdown counter.

[feral stirrup]

I want this, but the object is not cloned

Let's see if it clones, but only four or five times, and I want it to clone infinitely.

[hexed terrace]

can you not extrapolate from what's been supplied and what you want to do .. as to why you've been given a timer?

[willow scroll]

Could you, please, explain it a bit more?

[feral stirrup]

When you press the play button, an obstacle appears every 2 or 3 seconds. I have also been told that with the prefab it works, but it is not cloned. I only get cloned 2 or 3 times and it stops cloning, and I want it to clone infinitely

[willow scroll]

You usually do use a coroutine for that

[willow scroll]

The code you've provided (in an inappropriate form) just instantiates the object once at the start

You should start the coroutine and instantiate the object, then wait for a certain amount of seconds in an infinite loop

private IEnumerator SpawnObjects()
{
    WaitForSeconds intervalWFS = new(2f);

    while (true)
    {
        Instantiate(yourObject, yourParent.transform);

        yield return intervalWFS;
    }
}

[feral stirrup]

Thanks, I'll try if it works.

[willow scroll]

It does

[feral stirrup]

The only thing is this

[willow scroll]

Because you made it local, and local methods cannot have access modifiers

or outside of the class
