im pretty sure they should tackle the timer before a coroutine

#

from the looks of it

rare basin
#

please for the future, dont spoon feed

languid spire
willow scroll
#

And I'm pretty sure they should first learn the basics.

rare basin
#

that's not the solution

willow scroll
# rare basin that's not the solution

That's not the solution, that's an example of the coroutine, which, I suppose, doesn't fully solve the issue, instead guides them in the way of solving it. I don't see any problems with it.

rare basin
#

he just blindly copy&pasted the code you gave him

#

without even understanding it

willow scroll
#

But that's not my problem

#

If the person asks how they spawn the objects infinitely, I suppose they already know the basic basics

rare basin
#

just dont spoon feed the answer, and guide him how to achieve what we wants instead of providing code where he just needs to change variable names

willow scroll
#

I have shown them an example of doing it, and they should extend the logic in the way they want their game to work

Hello all

How do I move an object in unity from initial position to another (fixed) using Animations? Here the initial position is unknown

slender nymph
#

you most certainly do not

rare basin
#

you do not, your ide is not configured

frigid sequoia

Was your ide configured, would you see many errors.

how can i change the angle of movement on collision using the collision point drawn like that as a normal

You move the player, which has a child with Animator

frigid sequoia
#

If you want to have a relative position as start and absolute as end point you probably need code

Player, which is being moved
Child, which contains the Animator

Hello ,i see unity keep track of oriantation of an object like in this picture

#

but why in the parameter i dont take count of the rotation

#

how can i make it be x

rare basin
#

this is a code related channel @trail chasm

trail chasm
#

yea

#

testedV =new Vector3((int)Math.Round(t.localPosition.x), (int)Math.Round(t.localPosition.y)+2, (int)Math.Round(t.localPosition.z));
if (emplacement.ContainsKey(testedV))
{
adjacence.Add("haut", emplacement[testedV]);
}

#

why in a transform the parametre Y dont follow the rotation

#

of the object

#

even tho i use transform.localPosition

hexed terrace
#

In your 2nd image, you have rotated the cube on the X axis

ruby python
#

Hey all,

I'm not really sure what's going on here.

https://streamable.com/top484

Idea is that the object spawn at a point (yes they will be pooled eventually) with a random rotation on the Z Axis, and then a raycast fires (on spawn) in the
-transform.up direction (down) which then 'plants' the object on the surface of my tunnel. But as you can see from the video there is something really wrong with my raycast and I can't figure out what? 😕

This is my raycast.

    void Update()
    {
        if (rotationObject == null)
        {
            rotationObject = GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag("Tunnel").transform;
        }

        if (hasParent == false)
        {
            RaycastHit hit;
            // Does the ray intersect any objects excluding the player layer
            if (Physics.Raycast(transform.localPosition, transform.TransformDirection(-transform.up), out hit, Mathf.Infinity, layerMask))
            {
                Vector3 hitPoint = hit.point;
                transform.position = hitPoint;
                transform.parent = rotationObject;
            }
            hasParent = true;
        }
    }

Sokay, I've figured it out, no clue what the issue was tbh, but I just re-oriented my prefab and it fixed it.

Yeah, was just weird and annoying. lol.

rare basin
#

well, yea

polar acorn
#

There's always a better way than keying off of object names

#

Ah, FindWithTag is less egrigious, but still probably avoidable

ruby python
#

Such as? Sorry, can't think of any other way to find an object on this objects spawn tbh.

rare basin
#

yea, what if you will have multiple objects with Tunnel tag

ruby python
#

Not being a dick btw. Just honestly don't know. lol.

polar acorn
ruby python
#

Aaaaah okay, yeah that makes sense. Thank 🙂

#

Thanks

polar acorn
#

If both are prefabs, spawned at different times, then I could see the alternative being more trouble than its worth. But if either end of it exists in the scene to set with a direct reference, passing that reference around is preferable

ruby python
#

Nah, it's just this object that gets spawned the Tunnel is already in the scene.

rare basin
#

like UnitManager or sth

#

possibly a singleton

ruby python
#

Yeah, these objects are spawned in using a spawn manager. So as digi suggest, passing the tunnel through that is probably the best way.

rare basin
#

yup

#

make some kind of Init() function

#

and set the rotationObject reference in it

ruby python
#

Yeah.

#

Hmm. Okay, so anybody have any idea how to set the rotation of my objects based on the hit.Normal? I've tried a couple of methods I've found (including the one in the Unity scripting reference), but they don't seem to work 😕

okayy so

Im trying to make a character in my 2D top-down game who throws a potion in the air and it shatters when it hits the floor

would the best way of making the potion's movement (it moves in both x and y, not just y) be Vector3.Slerp or something else?

But if you want something to go up and then fall, a rigidbody with some initial velocity to it is probably the way to go

or DOTween with their Jump() function

any idea why

this shouldnt be possible

I found out that if you modify values in a scriptable object in code, the change persists afterwards in the editor. I understand this is intended behavior.

I have a scriptable object called EnemyData:

[CreateAssetMenu]
public class EnemyData : ScriptableObject
{
    public string enemyName;
    public Sprite sprite;
    public List<Loot> loot = new List<Loot>();
    public float health;


    public EnemyData(string enemyName, Sprite sprite, List<Loot> loot, float health)
    {
        this.enemyName = enemyName;
        this.sprite = sprite;
        this.loot = loot;
        this.health = health;
    }

I want to be able to subtract the enemy's health when it gets damaged. I could create a EnemyData2 class that's not a scriptable object where I can safely subtract the health from without it being a permanent change in the editor, but that seems redundant. What would be the best practice in this scenario?

magic pagoda
#

Ima watch some tutorials abt that then.

#

oh yeah the start and end points will vary a LOT in-game btw, so would I still be able to use that?

trail chasm
rare basin
#

you pass the endValue as a Vector3

#

pass whatever you want

polar acorn

Idrk how the function works so just asking beforehand

#

the reason I was trying to do it with Vector3.Slerp is bc I can simply destroy it when the movement ends

# 
            Rigidbody2D[] rb = gameObject.GetComponentsInChildren<Rigidbody2D>();
            for (int i = 0; i < rb.Length; i++) {
                rb[i].gravityScale = 1;
            }

this should turn on gravity on all child objects of the script's object right?

magic pagoda
carmine sierra
magic pagoda
carmine sierra
# magic pagoda as in? 
 void Start() {
        //Turns on gravity on all child objects.
        Debug.Log(TurnManager.isAttackPhase);
        if (TurnManager.isAttackPhase) {
            Rigidbody2D[] rb = gameObject.GetComponentsInChildren<Rigidbody2D>();
            for (int i = 0; i < rb.Length; i++) {
                rb[i].gravityScale = 1;
            }
        }
    }
#

this is the condition it needs 'isAttackPhase'

#

I debugged and it was true

#

p1build has this script

#

and it's child objects all have rigidbody's with a gravityscale of 0

#

so what could be the issue?

magic pagoda
#

are you sure that all of the Rigidbody2Ds are in the list? because youre not really grabbing anything there

carmine sierra
magic pagoda
#

also youre only checking it in the first frame

carmine sierra
#

would that not still run the whole for loop though

#

i though that could be the issue though

magic pagoda
#

yeah but if isAttackPhase is false on frame 1 it wouldnt work

carmine sierra
#

i debugged it before the for loop and it was true

#

would that work?

#

also isattackphase is set in an awake function

magic pagoda
carmine sierra
#

i mean the player builds

#

and they instantiate into the game's object

#

but they are carried over into this scene from a previous scene using ddol

magic pagoda
#

hang on uhh try this, one sec

carmine sierra
#

🙏

magic pagoda
#

okay so, firstly, thats now really how you add things to a list

okay cool

its an array though rihgt

Hey guys, i made health system that use sprites of hearts but it dont recognise sprites cause they are animated, how can i fix it?

magic pagoda
carmine sierra
#

they get added to the list when they are placed by the player

magic pagoda
#

what-

carmine sierra
#

and this carries over to another scene using ddol

magic pagoda
#

of course your code wont work like that, it only calculates things frame one

#

since theres nothing on the list there (since things havent been added by the player yet frame 1) the for loop wouldnt run

carmine sierra
#

I only need to get their rigidbody components in the attack phase

#

when they have already been placed by the playr

#

I can send a vid demonstrating

magic pagoda
#

gtg- Idrk how to explain this anyway-

#

try explaining your problem a bit better please next time tho

carmine sierra
#

okay

magic pagoda
#

like tell us exactly whats going on

#

you can skip 20 seconds

I have a Game Object with a Particle System as a parent of another similar Particle System to have them do a coordinated particle effect. I want the size of this to be variable via code; so I though changing the scale of the first parent would increase the size of all their children and their particles, but it does only increase the size of the Particle System on the parent object, why is this? Can I fix this or do need to work around it getting referneces to all the children adjusting the size of all of them?

Alright, so between

  • Update all the texts in a single method
  • Call the function with the text update methods, constantly run a for loop in the Update to execute every of them, clear the function to then call the method to assign it again
    you chose the easiest, the 2nd one?
#

Great

#

But is there any way you may consider the 1st variant being slightly more easier and maybe even a bit better for the performance and readability?

hexed terrace
#

Well, atm, because you've got a super weird, over engineered, poor way of updating the text

#

it looks like you'll be constantly overwriting the text too

but without seeing what's going on, we can't say for sure

Is anything even printed in Update?

What is printed?

#

Well, so the text should indeed be set.

#

Oh, so it's set?

#

Great

perhaps because you're setting the same one.

Just record it so we can see

As I have mentioned, don't you consider them being able to be the same?

If you set the text to a value, and that function is running, then the text is changing. Whether or not it stays changed is a different matter

polar acorn
#

Add this log to the end of this function:

Debug.Log($"{gameObject.name}'s text is being set to {linia}, {kierunek}, {odjazd}", this);

It'll log what the text is set to here, and let you click on this log to highlight the object that logged it

and he helped me before

polar acorn
queen adder
willow scroll
queen adder
#

and you helped me before

polar acorn

#

Ok sorry

polar acorn

you ask the question and if people know the answer they answer it

So those values are all blank

willow scroll
queen adder
#

guys how do i set tilemap collider to especific blocks?

willow scroll
#

Could you print this?

Debug.Log($"{this.linia.text}; {this.kierunek.text}; {this.odjazd.text}; -> {linia}; {kierunek};{odjazd}", this);
polar acorn
#

Okay, what's printing that?

willow scroll
#

Alright. Now tell me: why isn't the text changing?

polar acorn
#

Log that before you set the texts. This one would be at the top of the function

#

If that is where this is, then the issue is that you're setting the text to itself

willow scroll
queen adder
polar acorn
#

I don't know what this has to do with what they've said

willow scroll
#

Yeah, you've printed both this. and a parameter though?

polar acorn
#

it is entirely possible that the parameters are equal to the current value

willow scroll
#

Anyway, you issues is that you're setting the text to itself

#

So yeah, you don't see any changes

polar acorn
#

Let's combine both of our approaches into one. Get the name of the object changing its text, and the before/after:

public void SetLine(string linia,string kierunek,string odjazd)
{
    Debug.Log($"{gameObject.name}'s text changing from {this.linia.text}, {this.kierunek.text}, {this.odjazd.text} -> {linia}, {kierunek}, {odjazd}", this);
    this.linia.SetText(linia);
    this.kierunek.text = kierunek;
    this.odjazd.text = odjazd;
}
#

Okay, so this is changing it to blank, blank, blank

willow scroll
#

And so the next message, shouldn't it be.. blank, blank, blank?

polar acorn
#

Now, when you click on that log (once), it will highlight an object in the hierarchy. Click on that object and show its inspector

#

That's what I'm doing

#

Just follow my instructions

#

We need information

#

The ,this at the end was to highlight the exact object that's not doing what's expected, so let's follow the white rabbit and see where it goes

#

Okay, cool. Click on that object and send a screenshot of its inspector, so we can see which Text objects it's referencing

willow scroll
#

And it's its text is blank. So it's set.

polar acorn
#

Make sure it's actually changing its children and not referencing the wrong TMPs

#

Mkay, and when you click those, they highlight the child objects you showed before?

#

Okay, and those are all showing blank, correct?

#

does the map have rigidbody script?

queen adder
willow scroll
#

Why are there even so many texts?

sharp copper
#

okay

#

set body type to static

willow scroll
#

You're setting the texts to "", "", "", so, obviously, it's not going to display anything

queen adder
#

I guess i'm doing something wrong

polar acorn
#

Okay, so it seems like it's working? What is the problem then?

sharp copper
queen adder
#

ok

willow scroll
#

Then why do you do?

#

Just don't, right?

#

That's not blank now

queen adder
willow scroll
#

You've set it to blank before.

#

Well you've shown us it being blank!

polar acorn
#

Then don't call SetLine with "", "", "" as the parameters.

Follow the chain up, find what calls SetLine, see where that gets the data from and so on

#

So, when you call this function, you are passing it values that are not "", "", "". So do the same thing, click on it, find the object calling that, and check the text objects. What do they say?

#

Don't double click it

#

double means "open this line"

#

single click highlights

#

Then whatever object ran this line no longer exists. The ,this at the end tells it which object to highlight. If nothing does, then whatever object printed this is gone

#

If that object doesn't highlight when you single-click the log, then that is not the object that called that log

If the log does not highlight this object, then 100% beyond a shadow of a doubt, this object did not call that debug log

#

That would now highlight the object that linia is assigned to. If clicking this log doesn't highlight that object, then, again, this means that this log was not called by that object

#

Absolutely nothing

#

It's doing exactly what you tell it to do

#

you're just telling it to do the wrong thing

#

So, why did you change the log in the first place? The one I provided gives more information than this one

sharp copper
#

anyone knows how to fix my thing in the cinemachine channel?

polar acorn
#

That one logs the old values and the name of the object

#

Okay so were you just gonna never tell us that you're constantly getting errors

image.png
carmine sierra
#

could anyone help with the issue of the objects' gravity not turning on? (you can skip to 21 seconds)

polar acorn
#

Hiding them doesn't mean they aren't still affecting things

#

When an exception occurs, all code after that stops

#

So, pretty easy fix. Either make the mesh convex or kinematic

carmine sierra
# 
 [SerializeField] TurnManager TurnManager;

    void Start() {
        //Turns on gravity on all child objects.
        Debug.Log(TurnManager.isAttackPhase);
        if (TurnManager.isAttackPhase) {
            List<Rigidbody2D> rb = new List<Rigidbody2D>(gameObject.GetComponentsInChildren<Rigidbody2D>());
            for (int i = 0; i < rb.Count; i++) {
                rb[i].gravityScale = 1;
            }
        }
    }
polar acorn
#

You could very easily have been getting a null reference exception the entire time and have no idea

#

Then I'll see you when you're done I'll be here all day

#

Oh hey look errors that are exactly what I said was happening

#

The object you were trying to change no longer exists

#

and you couldn't see it because you didn't fix your errors

#

next time listen to me when I say things

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

You reloading the scene somewhere?

#

Trying to reference objects in scene instead of prefabs?

#

Either way, clear up those other errors and it'll be easier to debug

#

Since those will be the only errors left

carmine sierra
polar acorn
#

And I don't have time to deal with someone who wastes my time not checking basic things like "does the code throw an error"

carmine sierra
polar acorn
sharp copper
#

maybe look for null reference exceptions using search bar in console

image.png
polar acorn
#

That means linia is the object that was destroyed

carmine sierra
#

no errors, but it doesnt work, gravityscale remains the same

if you are wondering why there are two of the p1build and p2build objects, it is because I return to this scene from the building phase after a transmission scene

What object has the Start method you're trying to change these objects in?

Then your code is doing as expected. When this object is created, you check if TurnManager.isAttackPhase is true, and if it is, set the gravity. It isn't true, so it doesn't.

Hello guys. I will try to create a 3D game which is about space. I am going to make some 3d starship models in blender and use them in my game. And also I will make skins for every ship style. Am I going to make skins in blender or in unity? For an example I will make a gold material for golden skin and when I put this material to my ship in unity, I want to change only the wing of the ship to gold. I don't have much info about blender and unity but is it possible to make this or am I going to create lot of ship models for every skins. I hope you can understand me.

how do you guys do jumping with a CharacterController? ive got everything working (ground check etc), but when i add the velocity:

velocity.y = -gravity;
if (inputJump >= 0.5f && characterController.isGrounded) velocity.y = jumpForce;```
#

it teleports my character in the air before putting them down with normal gravity

hello, Im currently working on a row boating type of game and currently have the left and right joysticks controlling the left and right oars. Currently I was able to set up the rotation of the left oar but its currently rotating around freely instead of on some sort of axis and I was hoping I could get some guidance on how to best implement this. Currently I just have the oar's transform using Rotate in :
private void FixedUpdate()
{
Debug.Log(move + "___________________________" + move2);
leftOar.Rotate(move * rotateMultiplier);
}

and I was thinking of just limiting the rotation to not go past a certain amount, but I feel like there's a better way to do so

summer stump

#

this is how i check my horizontal angle

//Horizontal angle
if(Vector3.Angle(transform.forward, directionToTarget) < horizontalAngle / 2)
{

}```
#

i tried checking the vertical angle as well

#

but this is what i ended up with

# 
//Vertical angle
float verticalAngle = Vector3.Dot(Vector3.up, directionToTarget.normalized);
float verticalAngleInDegrees = Mathf.Acos(verticalAngle) * Mathf.Rad2Deg;

if(verticalAngleInDegrees < verticalAngle / 2)
{

}```
#

and it doesnt work

#

how do i check the vertical angle?

The names differ, slightly

for some reason when I highlighted though it highlighted both

Delete the method name where the error is and use the completion list to get the correct one

These kind of mistakes happen if you don't have VS configured and it does not suggest anything, usually.
With it fully working you should never make mistakes like this anymore

Also it tells you at the bottom "0 references", that should be a clear hint it's not being used anywhere due to the misspelling

bear with me because i am very new to gamedev and i made this partially on my own so im sure there's a better way to do it, but for some reason this pitch variance function changes the pitch correctly but when it plays the audio the pitch always sounds the same (as if it were at 1 even when the pitch is something like 0.5 or 1.5). what am I doing wrong?

this is the full class, it's from the brackeys audiosystem tutorial

#

Disclaimer, I'm a rookie game dev too, but both of us found the same AudioManager tutorial on YouTube, so maybe I can help.

austere hedge
devout spire
#

i just changed my code around so it could all be under the play function lol, this is what i have now. i figure i can use the same floats for all sound effects anyway since they all have the same possible pitch range from 0.1f to 3f.

image.png
#

it is still randomizing the pitch correctly but when it plays it sounds identical every time

austere hedge
#

That should work. I can even use a .1f difference in the pitch and notice a difference.

#

Does it still fail on a bigger number, like 4?

devout spire
#

yeah if i make the float 4 it still sounds the same every time

#

maybe its only playing the pitch that is selected in the inspector when the game is ran but idek how i would fix that

#

because its always 1 to start

austere hedge
#

Put a break point in randomizepitch and confirm it's actually going inside.

#

This is what I have, using the same AudioManager:

            if (s.randomPitch)
            {
                s.source.pitch = Random.Range(0.8f, 1.2f);
            }
            else if (s.randomSlightPitch)
            {
                s.source.pitch = Random.Range(0.9f, 1.1f);
            }
#

And that works fine.

devout spire

that worked for me, thanks!

I'm setting the resolution in my game settings, but I also have display settings like "Fullscreen, Windowed, Borderless Fullscreen". When I use Screen.SetResolution, it requires I say if I want fullscreen or not. If my player has Borderless Fullscreen selected, I have to set fullscreen to true right, won't that override the player's setting?

Adding someone to a project has nothing to do with version control

Unity confused the whole thing…

Unity cloud != unity version control

It’s part of the whole ecosystem ( unity cloud )

Personally would recommend Git + GitHub

Yo guys, I'm using Playerprefs to save the highest player score but there's an issue that I don't understand in Unity

# 
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.UI;
using UnityEngine.SceneManagement;
using System.IO;
using System.Runtime.CompilerServices;

public class LogicScript : MonoBehaviour
{
    public int Score = 0;
    public int highestScore;
    public Text scoreText;
    public GameObject gameOverScreen;
    public AudioSource scoreAudio;
    public Text highestScoreText;

    void Start()
    {
        if (PlayerPrefs.HasKey("highScore"))
        {
            highestScoreText.text = "Highest Score: " + PlayerPrefs.GetInt("highScore").ToString();
            highestScore = Convert.ToInt32(highestScoreText.text);
        }
        else
            highestScore = 0;
       
    }
    public void UpdateScore()
    {
        Score += 1;

        scoreAudio.Play();
        scoreText.text = Score.ToString();
       
    }

    public void restartGame()
    {
        SceneManager.LoadScene(SceneManager.GetActiveScene().name);  
    }

    public void BackToMainMenu ()
    {
        SceneManager.LoadScene(0);
    }

    public void GameOver()
    {
        gameOverScreen.SetActive(true);

        if (Score > highestScore)
        {
            highestScore = Score;
            PlayerPrefs.SetInt("highScore", Score);
            highestScoreText.text = "Highest Score: " + highestScore.ToString();
           
        }

slim plinth
#

You obviously can't convert the "Highest Score: " bit to a number

polar orbit
#

Which line you're talking about?

slim plinth
# 
highestScoreText.text = "Highest Score: " + PlayerPrefs.GetInt("highScore").ToString();
highestScore = Convert.ToInt32(highestScoreText.text);
#

You're trying to convert words to an int, that's not going to work

polar orbit
#

MY LORD

slim plinth
#

But why bother with the conversion? GetInt gives you an int

polar orbit
#

I totally understand you, the fact that I kept looking over and over on the screen and didn't notice that a string holding words is assigned to int variables makes me crazy..

#

but thank you

Im a beginner at unity and was wondering why my player only registers the collision on the sides of the box colliders (on the platforms) and not on the top

It's my first time trying playerprefs and I thought it will take from me a less than an hour but it took more ;c

im trying to make a speed platform and it works but only when i touch the sides

basically just means when u talk things out it can help

I see

#

Thanks!

can someone help me pls 😦 ive been stuck on this for hours

polar orbit
#

both of you

polar orbit
ionic loom
#

okay i have a player with a rigidbody and a boxcollider

polar orbit
#

You're MAKING FLAPPY BIRD

ionic loom
#

and im making a speed platform that increases the max speed of my player (max speed bc of acceleration)

#

no im making a different game

polar orbit
#

Oh, so its just me

#

LOL

ionic loom
#

and i made it work with oncollision

rocky canyon
#

it should detect collisions from all sides of the collider

#

if it works on the bottom it should work on the top..

ionic loom
#

no it only detects on the left and right side

#

not the top or bottom

rocky canyon
#

perhaps therse another collider blocking it

ionic loom
#

like my ground detector?

#

for jumping

rocky canyon
#

possibly yes.. cant say for sure

ionic loom
#

i just tested it works on everything but the top

#

im 100% positive its my ground checker

#

how do I fix that

rocky canyon
#

you can use layermasks as 1 solution

#

so ur collisions will only be detected on layers u tell it to check against

ionic loom
#

i have it to check a specific tag

#

whats happening is my player isnt realy touching the object

#

from the top

#

i think idk

ionic loom
#

!code

eternal falconBOT
rocky canyon
#

you could use a collision matrix in the Project settings

image.png
#

you can specify which layers interact with other layers

ionic loom
#

okay lemme find that

rocky canyon
#

if you use a trigger collider instead you could also just check for tags and components

#

in the code.. (and only do things when its a certain object for example)

#

that way ur trigger collider could overlap a bigger area..

ionic loom
rocky canyon
#

u could try raycasts instead? raycasts can also run conditionals to check

#

ya, but its a Collision.. and not a Trigger

ionic loom
#

okay i think i might go with trigger collider

rocky canyon
#

it sounds like it can't make it to the other collider.. (b/c it bumps up against the first one)

ionic loom
#

yeah

rocky canyon
#

but a trigger collider could penetrate all the way

ionic loom
#

how would i do that

rocky canyon
#

just makr the collider as a trigger instead..

#

isTrigger on the collider component

#

and then ur code would be OnTriggerEnter() instead of OnCollisionEnter()

ionic loom
#

i know that but then my object falls through it

rocky canyon
#

ya, ud probably end up using multiple colliders with that method

#

1 for actual collision (standing on the ground)

#

and another one thats a trigger.. that would detect otehr things

ionic loom
#

okay

#

ill figure it out

#

thanks

rocky canyon
#

ya, im just giving you some ideas that u can research on ur on

#

perhaps find a better method for your specific usecase

once u instantiate it it's not really a prefab anymore.. (its just a clone) of the prefab.. (no actual link to the prefab stuff)

#

i dont see a reference to a prefab on that Explosion Particle

cosmic dagger
rocky canyon
#

if u drag it to the scene u can right click it and go to Prefab > Unpack Prefab (Completely) @frigid sequoia

#

it'll make it a regular object.. not tied to the prefab anymore..

#

( i think thats what u mean now )

frigid sequoia
#

Is this what you mean?

rocky canyon
#

thats not the scene Hiearchy

#

thats the prefab's Heirarchy

#

Drag it into the scene and then unpack it

frigid sequoia
#

How do I unpack it?

rocky canyon
#

[drag] Prefab into the Scene Heirarchy -> Right click the Prefab (from within the scene) -> Unpack it

#

then it'll turn Black like all the other objects that are not prefabs

frigid sequoia
# rocky canyon

Aaaaaah, I think I had to do that BEFORE modifying anything, that's why it isn't showing

rocky canyon
#

i think you may be inside the prefabs window and not the actual scene window.

frigid sequoia
rocky canyon
#

well, then it should still let u modify it before hand.. 🤔

#

you can see when i double clicked it... from within the prefab window it can't be unpacked..

#

but in the regular scene view it can

frigid sequoia
#

It is in scene; I think I just changed it too much to unpack it. Like I deleted some childs and stuff

#

ohh no

#

click the Root object and unpack it

ur trying to unpack it from the child..

if u just wnat the child object. just unpack it from teh root. (top most object)... and then take the child and drag it out and delete the rest of it @frigid sequoia

any ideas why the object is not remaining in the ddol scene?

Kinda hard to read the code from the chat . . .

the prefab will stay exactly the same as it was.. (only now its not tied to the original)

cosmic dagger
rocky canyon
#

soo if u change this one.. or the original.. it wont make changes to it anymore

unpacking a prefab doesn't destroy the original. (you'll still have that prefab in the project window)

carmine sierra

so how else can I do it?

ohh

got a problem rn where i have a spawner for my game that will spawn prefabs but the call for starting the spawner is in start. this means when i open my skill tree it stops the spawner and when the game is resumed the spawner has stopped. what ive tried doing to fix this is when you press the button it will start the spawner again in that script. however it keeps coming up with no instance found in unity.

#

they'll still tag-a-long

carmine sierra
#

if a UI is in the ddol scene will it become active in my other game scene

#

if it is meant to be active

It would work pretty nicely but in terms of possible solutions' efficiency how does that compare

#

i just read from them at the end of hte scene and load them back in on the next one.. but I use SO's instead

#

but if its an approach that works for you i'd go with it.. its your project after all

carmine sierra
#

i still dont get SOs but thats a lesson for another day

rocky canyon
#

no doubt

#

well in this example im not really using SO's like the should be using.. in this example i could very well just use a class called PlayerSettings.cs

#

and just reference it.. playerSettings.walkSpeed =

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

actually I guess that's logically correct

not as good as while loop bt should be fine

HOLY SHIT

im an idiot

#

wait

carmine sierra
#

'gameOverText' is that standard variable casing

covert flower
#

im either really dumb or its nothing

rich adder
carmine sierra
rich adder
#

are you asking about camel casing?

carmine sierra
#

yes

rich adder
#

yes private variables generally use camel casing

carmine sierra
#

ohh

#

ive been using it for everything

#

but scripts

polar acorn
#

That's probably fine

rich adder
#

public should idealyl be Pascal

carmine sierra
#

pascal?

rich adder
#

no one is gonna beat you over the head dont worry

carmine sierra
#

GameOverText?

rich adder
#

yes that Pascal

kindred nest
#

that's fine as long as you don't just mirror the name of the Class, as those are pretty much exclusively also in Pascal, and will make you/the compiler wonder if you mean to access static members of a class or an instance

covert flower
# rich adder the method sure.

so i found a fix but it means every spawner that i have has to be individually added to that button with the OnbuttonClick function

#

but if i code it right it should be fine

rich adder
covert flower
#

so not really got time for a redesign

#

@rich adder ty for you help

you can always just grab the position of the transform too if that's enough

What are the values?

#

How did you write this code then? Debug.log should be one of the first api calls you learn in unity, and breakpoints aren't even a unity or even c# specific thing

#

Look up debug logs and check what the values actually are

#

The error means you are trying to access an index of the array that does not exist. It is greater than the max index. (Not just null, but the array is smaller than it).

You need to find out how big the array is and what index you are trying to access

So, im trying to make a fps game, the problem is the movement, im using camera.main.transform To move the player, but everytime the player reaches a corner and it tries to keep moving the player will go through one of the walls. Im not sure how to fix it and i guess the problem is within the script since i already did modify a lot the properties of the walls adding rigidbodies and setting its collision detection to continous. This is the code.

guys are you using Task.Yield or Task.Delay

feral bluff

#

keep the input in update but move anything using rb into fixed
fix that first then for testing purposes remove the rbs from the wall and see if the issue persist

teal viper
feral bluff
timber tide
#

only anything calling the rb's methods

#

use member variables to capture the input from update and use it inside of fixed

public void Move(InputAction.CallbackContext context)

  {

    _input = context.ReadValue<Vector2>();

    _direction = new Vector3(_input.x, 0.0f, _input.y);

why is the z axis 0.0f? if its set to zero then how are we gonna move it ? I think it needs to be a dynamic variable right?

swift elbow
swift elbow
#

_input.y should be replaced with _input.z

whole idol
#

this works like how it should be

#

im just asking how direction is able to take input from the z axis

#

which is the 3d axis

swift elbow
#

vector 3 reads inputs as (x,y,z)...

#

you have this setup incorrectly

#

both in your scene and code

swift elbow
#

what is stopping direction to be read from z?

whole idol
#

I set it to zero

swift elbow
#

🤦‍♂️

#

no you didnt

whole idol
#

im not debating, im literally asking bro lol

swift elbow
#

what are you asking?

whole idol
#

to learn

swift elbow
#

what, not why

whole idol
#

this is what i mean it works

swift elbow
#

ok so whats the problem?

whole idol
#

no problem, just asking why z is set to zero

swift elbow
whole idol
#

it literally is set to zero

swift elbow
timber tide
#

Ive not really touched analog but y for z does make sense

swift elbow
#

how do you not know?

timber tide
#

for 3D*

whole idol
#

yes but I dont understand this one, i was following a tutorial

timber tide
#

in 2D, x left and right while y is up and down

#

3D, x left and right, z forward and back

swift elbow
#

is it x y or z

timber tide
#

y input translates to z coordinates for controllers

#

^ in 3D

#

well, depends on the game but for something like a 3rd person/fps controller

whole idol
swift elbow
#

so that means...?

swift elbow
# 
        myVector = new Vector3(0.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f);```
swift elbow
whole idol
#

ok so now as I understand it input y doesnt change y but actually changes z

image.png
#

right?

swift elbow
#

yes exactly

#

thats how you have it setup

whole idol
#

Ty

timber tide
#

remember, your input works on a 2D plane

#

you dont lift your remote or mouse to jump

swift elbow
#

there are much easier ways to get movement setup

hey team - curious on how you think this effect was achived? The boss shoots laser beams in an arc and then resets. I was thinking that perhaps the lasers are gameobjects that are being turned on and off, and that maybe the lasers are following an animation ?

The animation portion

I was just wondering if it were procedural or animated - probably animated

hey, does anyone know how to help me with this? it adds a ship every frame but i just need it to add a ship one time

swift elbow

heady horizon
#

I'm guessing that means that they have a seperate gameobject for the "lasers" that turn on and off, and follow along the animation

#

like might be listening to a unity animation event

swift elbow
toxic frigate
timber tide
#

you can make lasers with as small of a mesh as a quad

#

there's also particle strips, but stretching out the quad and adding some emissions to it = lazer

toxic frigate
timber tide
#

cylinder is a good idea too if you want depth to it

#

but that lazer specifically looks like a billboarded quad

swift elbow
toxic frigate
#

does it need to be inside the foreach loop? I tried that and at the beginning of the new frame it just resets it to true or false, which breaks the code

#

if i just leave it as blank i get the "use of unassigned..." error

swift elbow
toxic frigate
#

what would you use instead?

swift elbow
#

a hashset for added ships maybe? 🤷‍♂️

#

there are prob easier ways but i dont know how you have this setup and for what purpose

swift elbow
toxic frigate
#

whoa this worked, thanks a lot!

#

if you dont mind me asking, what does a hashset do?

swift elbow

this explains it very nicely

I am using a "Simple Toon Shader" package from unityassetstore. It works perfectly, but it doesn't show in the mobile build. I'm using toon shader on characters, but when I view the apk in my smartphone, the characters are pink, Which means either their material is missing, or the smartphone can't pick it up. My device currently supports Android 14, and I think it should handle such shaders

check the pipeline support

            {
                Debug.Log(String.Format("{0}: {1}", pair.Key, pair.Value));
                if (pair.Key == "Heart")
                {
                    Debug.Log(111);
                    //_data.heart = (int)(pair.Value ?? 0); // Sử dụng toán tử Elvis
                }
            }
#

this code from :

just update it directly with it's key, dict[key] = newValue;
