this is editor stuff for the AI Navigation package. it is not their code

[prime cobalt]

does anyone know wtf a float y is?

[slender nymph]

you're trying to create a tuple there. that isn't how you create an instance of Vector3

[prime cobalt]

How do I change it to be a vector 3?

[slender nymph]

take a look at the docs to see how you create an instance of a Vector3 https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Vector3-ctor.html

[prime cobalt]

ooooh my god I forgot to write new vector 3 I'm an idiot

[wintry quarry]

I'm actually confused why it says (float, float y, float) there instead of just (float, float, float)

[woeful quest]

I clicked Box collider beacuse my character kept falling thru the map and then I pressed play and it just said this and it's not loading and i'm worried if it didnt auto save please help me. (By the way I was waching a tutorial on how to fix it and it said to do that and no its just stuck loading)

[slender nymph]

yeah that is a little weird, but i wonder if maybe the compiler is inferring the name from the name of the property used?

[wintry quarry]

I guess? Weird behavior

Reporting bugs

🪲 To make bug reporting as quickly as possible, we made a bug reporting application for you. When running Unity choose Help->Report a Bug in the menu, or you can access it directly through the executable in the directory where Unity is installed. It will also launch automatically if you experience a crash.

📝 If your bug report is to do with Documentation, either an error, typo, or omission, you can report it by scrolling to the bottom of the page where you found the issue and click ‘Report a problem on this page’!

💡If your report is to do with a new feature idea, you can check the Unity Product Roadmaps page to see if your idea has already been planned.

For more complete instructions on how to report bugs, access: https://unity3d.com/unity/qa/bug-reporting

[winter cedar]

yeah so i tried everything and its still giving the error

[slender nymph]

oh neat, it looks like that is exactly what it is doing

[slender nymph]

all of your packages are up to date?

[woeful quest]

AUUUUGH I lost half of my work cause a stupid Unity bug.

[slender nymph]

remember to save often

[polar acorn]

You can recover a scene as long as you do it before you re-open

[polar acorn]

And this sounds more like an infinite loop in your code than a unity bug

[open vine]

Is there a built-in solution to cursor.locked not interacting with UI? I have an FPS character and want it to interact with some world space canvases.

[winter cedar]

all of it should be up to date let me check

[slender nymph]

you should have already checked considering that was literally the first step i said to take

[woeful quest]

No I turned on Box colliders and pressed play and it just didn't load so I had to force close it with task manager because It wouldn't let me close it from the program

[wintry quarry]

The common fix here is to use a custom input module

[polar acorn]

If it freezes when you hit play, it's almost always because of an infinite loop

[woeful quest]

ok

[open vine]

great thanks!

[woeful quest]

Theres no temp folder in the project folder

[polar acorn]

Depending on what version of unity you are using there might be a different name, look for something named along the lines of _Backupscenes

[woeful quest]

I couldn't find anything called _Backupscenes

[polar acorn]

Are you checking this before re-opening the project

[woeful quest]

I opened it like 2 minutes ago then I closed it and im looking for the Backupscenes now

[polar acorn]

So you did open it

meaning it's cleared out the backup scenes

[woeful quest]

yes after it crashed I opened

[polar acorn]

you have to do it before reopening

[woeful quest]

😭

Nooooo

Next time I will do ctrl s before playing

or do it from time to time

[frigid sequoia]

Ey, I am planning on adding a "scatter shot effect" along side the main bullet as a powerUp with a variable amount of pellets based on how many copies of the powerUp does it have. And I am wondering... should the logic of how this projectile works be in a prefab that spawns all the pellets or be in the overall method that I use for the player to spawn projectiles. What does make more sense?

[woeful quest]

By the way Im not good with Unity I started using it yesterday but not gonna lie its a bit easy to learn the basics

[frigid sequoia]

Cause I am kinda not sure what to do here, since I am kinda considering this "burst of projectiles" as its own type of projectile, so seems like should have its own prefab, but it also pretty much just add smaller copies of the main bullet with a small random angle offset

[winter cedar]

yeah i did check but i just wanted to check again and yes its all up-to-date

hello?

[summer stump]

Did you delete your library folder as directed?

[winter cedar]

yes

[summer stump]

And when you reopened unity, you got a loading bar that took a while, as the library folder regenerated?

[winter cedar]

yes

[static wolf]

hi y'all.
i want this train object (which has a trigger boxcollider) to call a shake() method on all the tree prefabs i have around the scene, but for some reason it only recognizes the player and grabbable prefabs. i have no clue why, this is what my tree prefab looks like (it has a box collider), i tried messing with the settings on that but i'm stuck. anyone know why the train wont print the tree objects

[short hazel]

Looks like the animator, the script, the collider were added on a prefab instance, but not applied to the actual prefab. As shown by the blue margins on the left of the Inspector

(the collider is also not a trigger collider here)

[static wolf]

i see

but whenever i update the values in this tree prefab, it does update all the other instances on the scene

even when i enable the trigger collider option for the prefab (which reflects on all the instances in the scene), it still doesn't work

here's the code, but the part i care about is just the print line, but since its not printing any of the trees, im assuming theres an issue with the colliders somehow

[short hazel]

First things first, apply the changes to the original prefab anyway, using the "Overrides" dropdown at the top of the Inspector, and try again

And for OnTriggerEnter to happen, one of the two objects must have a trigger collider, not the other, and at least one needs a Rigidbody.
Also make sure you're moving the objects in a way that uses the physics engine, by interacting with the Rigidbody for example. Directly modifying the Transform does not use the physics engine.

[static wolf]

Ohhh i see

hi, im having dificulties understanding how to acess a script in my game, im working on a enemy ai that uses a StateMachine, the enemy object uses a script for its ai that calls other scripts that are its states, being a patrolState and a attackState, im having dificulties in the attackState script being called, the way its supposed to work is by a canSeePlayer method that uses a ray to detect a player, i have run various debugs log, and it should work since it has all the requirements for the attackState to be called, but i dont really know what to do

[lost anvil]

is it possible to remove a specific item from an array or is a list needed

[woeful quest]

Guys I'm making a Gorilla tag fangame in Unity and whenever I press play the thing falls thru the map and it doesent stay on the ground. Please help

[vale geode]

did you add a box collider to the ground?

[woeful quest]

I don't know how to do that so I don't know

Arrays have a fixed size so elements cannot be "added" or "removed". Prefer a List<T> if you're planning on adding or removing elements. Keeping the array and setting the unused elements to null could also be an option, albeit less practical than using a list for this specific case.

[lost anvil]

alright thanks

[vale geode]

select the object and on the inspector add a component and go to physics

[woeful quest]

ok

[woeful quest]

What do I click on physics?

which one?

[polar acorn]

What component are you trying to add

[woeful quest]

Idk just so I dont fall thru the ground

and all the other objects

[vale geode]

box collider and scale it to match the floor

[woeful quest]

ok

I'm still falling thru the ground

[devout flower]

Do both things have colliders

[polar acorn]

Does your player have a collider

[woeful quest]

No

[devout flower]

Showing the inspector of both objects might help

[woeful quest]

so i need to add a colider so that?

Idk

I still fall thru the floor

[devout flower]

So uh

I'm not sure about how you set things up

But basically

I think you should put a collider on literally everything that shouldn't go through things

And everything that shouldn't allow things through

[woeful quest]

I pasted in the map from my last attempt because I got something wrong with Photon last time

[vale geode]

why do you have a collider on a empty space?

on the center of that hole

[woeful quest]

I have no idea I started using Unity yesterday

Creating a project involving VR as your very first is pretty much an extremely bad idea

Same thing goes for multiplayer

(Your VR setup is throwing some errors by the way)

[woeful quest]

how?

[short hazel]

Well read the error message and you'll se why that is

[woeful quest]

I following this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KBcsX0uCNi4&t=1062s

[short hazel]

Yep. Multiplayer + VR. The combo of death

Your VR package is deprecated as per the error:

XRRig has been deprecated. Use the XROrigin component instead.

[woeful quest]

Soo how do I fix that?

[short hazel]

I strongly suggest you follow a basic introductory tutorial to Unity first

[vale geode]

do something simple first like this https://youtu.be/XtQMytORBmM?si=wkUnLm5YnZG5h6q5

[hushed hinge]

... if anyone knows

[lost anvil]

which ui image

[vale geode]

oh my bad i though you meant because the code sucks, ill do that

[hushed hinge]

in the video which shows the white image there (that one was for when there's 2 players

[summer stump]

Well the fact you have a class called Enemy_1 is a bit worrying haha

[lost anvil]

what do you actually want im confused - for it to cover the whole screen?

[summer stump]

Also, try to cache those GetComponent calls

Might wanna use an enum instead of using reflection too

Now, for the real issue, I am a bit confused. What is the actual problem. And what do the debug logs say?

[hushed hinge]

yeah, (that ui image is taged transition1. if there's two players the ui iamge should be like that, but if there's just single player and the ui image should rezise the width)

[lost anvil]

can you track the amount of players anywhere?

because that could help

[hushed hinge]

yeah, (Player 1 is tagged "Player" and Player 2 is tagged "Player 2", it is also shown in the script.

[lost anvil]

try messing around with the rectTransform of the ui image, something like this i think im not too sure though i dont deal with UI that often

image.rectTransform.sizeDelta = new Vector2(width, height);

[hushed hinge]

erm

[summer stump]

Do you HAVE a variable called image?

Or width or height?

Because you would obviously need to make those....

[prime cobalt]

Does vector3.normalized go from -1 to 1 or just 0 to 1?

[summer stump]

0 to 1

[prime cobalt]

ok thanks

[summer stump]

-1 magnitude is not a thing

[prime cobalt]

wait but like if the vector 3 had negatives would they stay as negatives?

[summer stump]

Well, the magnitude is the length, which is only positive. The components in the vector can be negative

Sorry if I misunderstood you

[prime cobalt]

Oh ok, gotcha.

[hushed hinge]

nope

[summer stump]

Welll... then yeah that code will obviously not work.
That was an example, not something you can copy and paste

[hushed hinge]

because since the ui buttons is supposed to be like connected to that script when you click on which how many players

[summer stump]

I'm not really sure how that relates to what I said. But ok

Make the variables you need so that it isn't a basic compiler error

[vale geode]

hi heres are the scripts https://paste.myst.rs/30lnmln8

[polar acorn]

What is image? What are width and height?

[hushed hinge]

image (UIimage) width and height (recttransform)

[polar acorn]

Okay, and where are those variables defined?

[summer stump]

Are you sure?

[hushed hinge]

I just guessed and think

[polar acorn]

In this script, what are image, width, and height? Where do you define those variables?

[hushed hinge]

I thought under where the camera also define (changing width if it's just one player)

[polar acorn]

Okay, so, you have a variable named uiImage, and a compile error

[prime cobalt]

Ok so this may be a little hard to explain but could anyone give any light into what's not working here?
The End of the blue line is supposed to be facing in the direction of the red line with the length of the green line, since the green line and the blue line are supposed to be on the perimeter of the same circle around the object in the middle. r is the distance from the center object to the end of the green line, so it should be the radius. The thing in the center is the "origin" and the thing at the end of the red line is the object running the script so it's where the transform is coming from. I've been trying to get this to work for hours now.

[hushed hinge]

yeah and no, I just wrote the one below

[polar acorn]

And I have absolutely zero idea what the second image is supposed to convey

This doesn't seem to have anything to do with what I asked

[hushed hinge]

changing the camera width size, and I said the image rezise should also varieble along with that

[polar acorn]

Yeah, so, you're changing the camera's rect, but I don't know what that has to do with my question?

[summer stump]

Oh come on.
private width ?

[polar acorn]

You have a line that's trying to use image, width, and height. What are those

[hushed hinge]

aren't width and ehight also supposed to be there?

[polar acorn]

where?

[summer stump]

You have been using c# for quite a while now. You should absolutely know this by now

[hushed hinge]

like what i wrote with private Image uiImage

[polar acorn]

I am completely lost as to what you're talking about. private Image uiImage is a variable declaration. But I have no idea what that has to do with what we're talking about?

[hushed hinge]

I know that, but I never used that part with having width and height resize uiimage in a script before

[hushed hinge]

are height and width also supposed to be variable?

[summer stump]

Irrelevant. You are making a number. How do you make a number variable?
This is likely the ABSOLUTE first thing you ever learned in programming

[polar acorn]

I do not know what you are asking. What are you actually trying to do

Your explanations aren't making sense so let's back up. What is the goal you're actually trying to achieve

[tender stag]

i need a method which is called when the object is created

Awake breaks other things

[summer stump]

Start

OnEnable

[polar acorn]

Awake

[polar acorn]

Then fix the other things

[hushed hinge]

what I'm trying to do is that with player 1's transition is that it would change the UIImage's width size to cover the whole screen if there's just player 1 there

[polar acorn]

Okay, so you're trying to set the width and height of a UI Image

Which UI Image are you trying to set

[tender stag]

how can i fix this

i have an instance of my EquipmentManager

[polar acorn]

What about it

[tender stag]

the instance is set after the other awake

[summer stump]

Awake for self-reference
Start for external references

[frigid sequoia]

Can I like... intentionally skip the Start() method of a instantiated object?

[tender stag]

what do you mean

[polar acorn]

No, Start runs on every object

[tender stag]

yeah i know

but what im saying is that start isnt called when an object is created

[polar acorn]

For things that are on this object, use Awake. If you need to reference something else, then use Start

[summer stump]

Yes it is

Is the object disabled?

[tender stag]

yes

[hushed hinge]

yeah

[polar acorn]

Then it will run start when it's enabled

[hushed hinge]

and the reason why the uiimage is that different width size is because it's for when there's 2 players

[tender stag]

i need it to run anyways

[polar acorn]

So, which UI Image are you trying to set

[summer stump]

Sounds like an xy problem

[hushed hinge]

this image

[strong wren]

Could you just run your own "start" method in these cases?

[polar acorn]

Okay, so you need your script to get a reference to this image. That's the first step.

[rich adder]

"how do i do that"

[hushed hinge]

yeah, and the tagname

[polar acorn]

Wait what's this about a tagname

what does that have to do with anything

[frigid sequoia]

I kinda want to not set the projectileData to the playerController, but instead set it manually, in an instance but I need that reference at start

[polar acorn]

...what

[frigid sequoia]

Cause I want like spawn several bullets that are slightly modified

[polar acorn]

why are we talking about projectile data

when did the conversation become about projectiles

Wait, nevermind, I thought you were linedol

I'm confusing myself here

[frigid sequoia]

Is the value that I want to be setted on the start of the new instance

Don't really know how to work around that

[hushed hinge]

because in the script, it have the tagnames so the other scenes can tell when i click on the player button, and since Main camera for player 1 also have a tagname

[polar acorn]

Then this either shouldn't be in Start or you should spawn a different object that doesn't have this

[polar acorn]

Okay, and what does this have to do with what we were just talking about

I asked you to reference an image

why are we talking about tags

[hushed hinge]

because that image have the tagname "Transition1" so I just wanted that the it's referencing the right image it's supposed to reference

[polar acorn]

Okay, so, why are you doing anything with tags. Just drag the reference in

[hushed hinge]

the playermanager script is in a different scene, how can I drag the reference in that is in another scene?

[visual hedge]

@hushed hinge your width could be modified by transform.localScale.x it's not like per-se modification of width, but you can kinda stretch the image. what's best about it, you don't have to assign the width anywhere. Just assign that image. Which I guess you now have problem with since your variable is private and you can't assign that image in the inspector. Easy solution: [SerializeField] private Image uiImage; and then it's assignable thru inspector.
I am not sure if that's what you are looking for

[polar acorn]

Okay, that was context I didn't have. Sure, use find to get it across scenes. Just have a variable that holds a reference to the image you want to change.

[polar acorn]

You shouldn't modify the scale of a UI object. You should make changes to it through it's rect properties

Having inconsistent scales will completely bork your anchoring

[strong wren]

Couldn't spawner of that object set the projectile data to what it wants?

[visual hedge]

now without any jokes: how does one modify the width thru rect property? I am also a beginner and I am legitemately interested since I don't know it

[rich adder]

sizedelta

[visual hedge]

thank you

[frigid sequoia]

Yes, but it is kinda weird, cause I am treating it as sorta of a shot modifier, so instead of being its own shot is kinda like an extension of the original one...

[visual hedge]

sizedelta is Vector2 so basically 2 floats representing X and Y?

[frigid sequoia]

Probably should't do that, but I am really struggling to trying to wrap my head about how I want to actually code this

[hushed hinge]

ok

[thorn holly]

welp, ive just learned the hard way to use fixed update for velocity based movement

my player was rubberbanding like a game of pong

[rich adder]

width and height you mean yea

[strong wren]

Swapping to a different prefab would be another option if you don't want the user to be aware of that detail

[polar acorn]

Okay, now get the image component of it and store it in a variable

[visual hedge]

yeah, width and height, correct. Thank you. So basically like this, right?

[hushed hinge]

ok, almost there

[polar acorn]

That isn't you storing that image component in a variable.

[frigid sequoia]

Can I not have an struct parameter as null?

Is there something equivalent or is just not supported?

[hushed hinge]

do you mean store it in inspector? (and what do you mean by I'm not storing that image component in a variable? I did the same thing with the mainCamera)

[polar acorn]

No I mean store it in a variable

[summer stump]

You need an =

[hushed hinge]

but you told me to get the image component of it

[summer stump]

And store it
Getting it and throwing it away isn't great

[queen adder]

how come "Image change" only gets printed once at 16 seconds? Shouldn't the modulus operator usage here usually make it print at 16, 12, 8, and 4 seconds?

[polar acorn]

And store it in a variable.

[teal viper]

Delta time is in seconds, so I'm not sure what you're calculating there🤔

[queen adder]

alright, removed the % 60

[teal viper]

Does it work now?

[hushed hinge]

how do I do that? (I have been searching)

[polar acorn]

With =

[queen adder]

prints out once at 16 seconds, but then doesn't for the rest of the time

yep, no clue why

could it be a float/int conversion thing

Take a screenshot of your console when it's about to reach 0

[teal viper]

No. I don't see any problem in the code actually

[brave jasper]

can i get sameon to strem my project to ??

[hushed hinge]

oh, then I should use Int?

[polar acorn]

Is a UI Image an integer

[brave jasper]

i have a problem in animation and i dont know howe to slove it

[queen adder]

right before it reaches zero & the only time it prints

[rich adder]

is it code related?

[teal viper]

1. This is not a channel related to animation.
2. You can record a video.

[teal viper]

You have collapse enabled in the console

Disable it

[hushed hinge]

hmm... I don't think so?

[scarlet skiff]

is there an effecient way to tell code to run only once when its something that u have to run in update? usually i just create a new bool for just that where the bool starts off as true, and if true, the code runs the thing i only need to be run once then sets the bool to false

[polar acorn]

Okay, congratulations you've made a variable. Now store your reference in it

[brave jasper]

i dont know if the problem from the cod or from the unity

[frosty hound]

If you mean when there's a change? You can learn about events. Otherwise, if it's something that has to while something has a specific value, then Update is correct.

[hushed hinge]

but it's still red underline

[polar acorn]

Because that makes no goddamn sense. Please read the link I sent and learn how to set a variable

[scarlet skiff]

no in my update logic i just have to for example set the speed to 0 (only once) when a specific if statement runs for the first time

[brave jasper]

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

public class playerController : MonoBehaviour
{
Animator anim;
Rigidbody rb; // Declare a Rigidbody variable

// Start is called before the first frame update
void Start()
{
    anim = GetComponent<Animator>();
    rb = GetComponent<Rigidbody>(); // Get the Rigidbody component
}

// Update is called once per frame
void Update()
{
    // Check if the Rigidbody component exists
    if (rb != null)
    {
        // Access the velocity only if the Rigidbody component exists
        anim.SetFloat("Speed", rb.velocity.x);
    }
    Debug.Log("Speed: " + anim.GetFloat("Speed"));

}

}`

[scarlet skiff]

like here, in the else if (hasBeenBlocked)
I want it to set speed to 0 once, then start doing this new movement it does if the object has been blocked

[rich adder]

you have to start by explaining the actual problem..

[summer stump]

Why would you think the = sign goes on the right of that?
As digi said

Surely you've set a variable at some point by now.

[scarlet skiff]

I think they would benefit if you describe your problem

[frosty hound]

Is there an actual issue with how you have it? Are you just asking if it's a bad performance thing?

[hushed hinge]

I did

[scarlet skiff]

bad performance thing

[frosty hound]

It's fine

[scarlet skiff]

i just dont like creating a new bool if it has 1 small use

[polar acorn]

So why have you typed whatever the hell you typed

[frosty hound]

It will have zero affect in your performance

[scarlet skiff]

ye but the code becomes more cluttered i feel like

or is that just me

[polar acorn]

If you made about four trillion of them your games build size would increase by one kb

[frosty hound]

Well, that's not a performance thing, that's an architectural thing.

[brave jasper]

I add animation "ideal" and it works but to add more animation I add this script in the controller but it doesn't play

[scarlet skiff]

yea sorry i meant that

[frosty hound]

And, sure, you could clean it up with work. Character Controllers are difficult to keep looking nice, it takes experience to know how to properly break it apart.

In the end, as long as it works. 🤷‍♂️

[hushed hinge]

is it recttransform I'm supposed to type, right?

[teal viper]

For starters you could separate update into several methods. Then you could use the state machine pattern to switch between logic depending on the state.

[scarlet skiff]

hmmm alright, was just wondering if someone had foudn a more clever way

[polar acorn]

No. You are supposed to store the image you want to reference in a variable

[scarlet skiff]

reading the error message should give you the info you need

[queen adder]

alright

[ripe shard]

update in phases and use a state machine is typically the best you can do if you are looking for a "generic" way to do it cleaner/better

[scarlet skiff]

a.. state machine pattern ?

[queen adder]

holy crap it's printing a gazillion times LOL

I was wondering what that number in the hundreds was next to each message and assumed it was the amount of frames between each second ig those were the amount of messages haha

[hushed hinge]

but it's right here

[brave jasper]

I gave it to chat-gpt to give me a slove but they don't give me any solution

[scarlet skiff]

i think Image

is a UI thing

you mgiht be thinking of Sprite ?

[hushed hinge]

it is an UI

[polar acorn]

You have created a variable. Now you need to set it to the image you want it to hold

[north kiln]

Did you try giving it to a search engine instead of a text generator?

[brave jasper]

i dont undrestand the problem

[brave jasper]

i l'll do it now

[scarlet skiff]

Chatgpt misses a lot of small details and what not, it just doesnt think like a human, i suggest you watch a tutorial about basic unity functions, perhaps in a language you are used with.

Anyways, show the heirchy of your "Ch38_Shirt" object

[hushed hinge]

it's right there

[summer stump]

#💻┃code-beginner message
Ask yourself this
This question is the answer to that error

[polar acorn]

Do you know what a variable is

[teal viper]

A programming pattern

[scarlet skiff]

Sorry i meant inspector, can you show what components you have?

[hushed hinge]

then I don't know what to write there besides rectTransform?

[summer stump]

That is not the issue....

At all

The issue is where you put the = sign

why do you think it goes on the right?

instead of the left

Well, I guess you are trying to assign the IMAGE to something (so I guess the rectTransform is part of the issue)

[polar acorn]

Okay, let's pretend you want to store the value 3 in an integer variable named x. How would you do that

[queen adder]

how do I get "image change" to print only once at exactly multiples of 4? Here's what I tried

targetTime -= Time.deltaTime;
int second = (int)targetTime % 60;
print("time: " + second);
if (second % 4 == 0)
{
  for (int j = 0; j < 1; j++)
  {
      print("Image change");
  }
}

[hushed hinge]

hmmm....
int x
x = 3

[polar acorn]

Perfect. Great. You understand the concept

[polar acorn]

Oh man you're almost there you're red hot

[summer stump]

you are trying to assign the IMAGE to something (so I guess the rectTransform is part of the issue)

[polar acorn]

Just a little bit more, transition1 is an Image, so you have to store an Image in it. Now, how would you get an Image Component from an object

[hushed hinge]

GetComponent?

[polar acorn]

🎉🎉🎉🎉🥳🥳🥳🥳 🎉🎉🎉🎉💯 💯

[summer stump]

Now just... remember this for next time?

[hushed hinge]

ok

[polar acorn]

Now

you have a variable

that holds a reference to the Image component on the object tagged "Transition1"

This took like two hours so I honestly do not remember what you were trying to do with it

[hushed hinge]

oh my god, yeah, ok, now I need to figure out with changing the image width size

[summer stump]

#💻┃code-beginner message

[polar acorn]

There are multiple ways. Easiest is to change the sizeDelta (this is the width and height variables you see in the inspector)
https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/RectTransform-sizeDelta.html

[summer stump]

So... yeah there is no animator attached to this object

Wasn't that the error?

[scarlet skiff]

yup.. there is no animator

as the error mentioned

[hushed hinge]

like this?

[summer stump]

Sure. Make those numbers variables though

[brave jasper]

but i add to the idel

[polar acorn]

Correct. This will set the width and height of the transition1 object to 1280x720

[summer stump]

It is looking on the shirt, so it doesn't matter if it's on Idle

[brave jasper]

so add animator to all the object on player

[summer stump]

No. Fix the code

To find the animator in the right place

Why is PlayerController on the shirt in the first place?

[brave jasper]

this is player controller

[summer stump]

Yes. GetComponent gets the component ONLY from the object this script is attached to

I think this is an important question:

Why is PlayerController on the shirt in the first place?

[brave jasper]

what i changet to

[brave jasper]

i dont know

i can change it ?

[summer stump]

Then don't have it there

[summer stump]

Of course you can?

You can do whatever you want

[brave jasper]

ah you talk about the script

bro, i searched for 1 week and the problem is PlayerController on the shirt

it solved but i want something more

[hushed hinge]

ok, it actually works

[hushed hinge]

even though if it works?

[summer stump]

Always make variables instead of magic numbers

[polar acorn]

If they're variables you can easily change those numbers from the inspector without having to recompile

[brave jasper]

what about that

[hushed hinge]

like that?

[brave jasper]

i think this chat is not for animation

[summer stump]

Well, speed seems to be 0

And you only set it when Rigidbody is not null

So, I think perhaps there is no rigidbody on that object?

[brave jasper]

i can solved with the code or in the engin

[summer stump]

Do you need to ask?

[summer stump]

Depends on the issue. Do you have a rigidbody on the object?

[brave jasper]

i think no

[summer stump]

So no

You have a CharacterController, which is incompatible with a rigidbody

Your Mouvement component has a speed, use that instead

[hushed hinge]

but then the transition 1 won't be visible

[summer stump]

What? I don't have any clue what you are saying

Ah wait. Tell me you didn't forget to assign the variables....

The int and float types default to 0, so if you forgot, then you are assigning 0 to width and height

[brave jasper]

i add a regidbody

so what next

[summer stump]

Nope

You literally responded to the message where I said you cannot do that

[summer stump]

Bad. Remove it

[brave jasper]

ok

[summer stump]

You have a CharacterController, which is incompatible with a rigidbody

Your Mouvement component has a speed, use that instead

[hushed hinge]

this?

[summer stump]

Do you not see those red lines

This is the most absolutely basic thing you need to know how to do

[hushed hinge]

https://www.w3schools.com/cs/cs_variables.php I read it here

[summer stump]

That is assuming you are in Main

Which you are not. You are in a class

Just assign it in the initializer or via the inspector

Or in Start/awake

[brave jasper]

use in cod or in unity

[summer stump]

In your code

[hushed hinge]

I did do tht before when I asked

[summer stump]

Ok perfect.

Then explain what you meant here
#💻┃code-beginner message

[summer stump]

That is assigning the SizeDelta field btw

Not your x and y variables

So yeah, those would still be 0

[summer stump]

There ya go

No idea why you wouldn't just do int x = 1280; but sure, it works

[brave jasper]

that what appened

[summer stump]

Show your code

[polar acorn]

What is Mouvement

[summer stump]

I beleive it is not called Mouvement

Look at your class

C# is case-sensitive

[teal viper]

What about the intellisense?

[brave jasper]

where i can get it

[summer stump]

Where can you get what? It's YOUR script

[hushed hinge]

everything works

[silent dove]

uhh could i get a bit of help with having my code play audio?
im trying to have a thing where when in this case the laser hits the enemy, it makes a sound along with the animation i have for an explosion, as well as removing the laser and enemy
i've tried to implement things from tutorials i've seen, but i kept getting a "cannot play a disabled audio" error, and looking through people saying the same thing none of the solutions for them worked for me?

this is the code as it is before trying to add audio, i followed a tutorial that i thought would work, with playing an audio clip when a collision happens, but i think it's due to the laser being destroyed when it hits an enemy, and so it isnt able to make the audio? i'm not entirely sure i'm new to unity, so a lot of what i get is from tutorials so im not the best at figuring out whats wrong with it

[whole idol]

Yo, Im following unity's official tutorials like someone recommended here, at first the quality looked amazing, but theyre kinda overexplaining the most basic things Ive already discovered on youtube, anyway heres a physics related problem I got, so why does this wooden obstacle always back down in place like this instead of being kicked forward like a soccer ball after the truck hits it? It's supposed to go side ways not say in one place and return to its original position right? wtf

[brave jasper]

i fixz the prroblem in unity

but i have a probelm

the code does do anithing

[summer stump]

Did you assign mouvement?

[brave jasper]

yes

[summer stump]

Ah yeah, I see the getComponent call

[brave jasper]

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

public class playerController : MonoBehaviour
{
Animator anim;
float curSpeedX;

// Start is called before the first frame update
void Start()
{
    anim = GetComponent<Animator>();
}

// Update is called once per frame
void Update()
{
    // Access the curSpeedX variable directly
    anim.SetFloat("Speed", curSpeedX);
    Debug.Log("Speed: " + curSpeedX);
}

}

[summer stump]

Oh. Ok, so you just got rid of the mouvement reference

So this will basically do nothing except set the speed one time

[brave jasper]

so how i can fix it

[summer stump]

Unless you set curSpeedX externally

[brave jasper]

hmmm how i can do that
in unity or in the cod

[summer stump]

Go back to referencing mouvement and use that speed 🤷‍♂️

[whole idol]

why does this happen?

anyone knows?

[summer stump]

Your mass is 11

Try lowering it 🤷‍♂️

[whole idol]

ok

[summer stump]

Ah, I see you tried that in the video...

[silent dove]

this is the full script, just not sure if there's a way i could add a way for it to play an audio clip each time the laser prefab (which is what the script is put onto) collides with an enemy
i think if i could figure out a way for this to work, then i could make it work for the other parts where i need audio to play, i'm just not sure how to go about it

[brave jasper]

Assets\playerController.cs(24,45): error CS1061: 'mouvement' does not contain a definition for 'speed' and no accessible extension method 'speed' accepting a first argument of type 'mouvement' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

replace the referencing mouvement by Speed

that what you say right ?

[summer stump]

Again, this is your script, so you should know what to change speed to.
You had different variables for it

You had walkSpeed and runSpeed if I remember correctly

[brave jasper]

i wille change speed with all the variable for see the problem

[brave jasper]

i can do some math and add the rune speed and walk speed in a new variable named speed ?

[summer stump]

Sure. You probably want to do a currentSpeed variable, and just switch between the two

[brave jasper]

finally!! the cod work

[summer stump]

Are any of the constraints enabled?

[whole idol]

what are constraints??

nope

but it looks like something like the box is hitting into something like an invisible wall

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()
    {
        transform.Translate(transform.forward * Time.deltaTime * 20);
    }
}

this is my script by the way

could it in any way be related to this method that im using?

i changed it to ```c#
void Update()
{
transform.Translate(Vector3.forward * Time.deltaTime * 20);
}

Vector3

Why doesn't it go forward?

[cosmic dagger]

Vector3.forward will move forward on the world z-axis . . .

[summer stump]

Ohhhh, you're using Translate?
You should be using rigidbody motion if you have a rigidbody. Is this what the tutorial suggested?

[wintry quarry]

That tutorial is garbage

It tells you to use translate and shows physics interactions

It's not their fault

It's a bad tutorial

[whole idol]

nope

[frigid sequoia]

I ended up just... checking for one of the values inside the struct to see if it was 0 (aka not setted), that would mean the struct is not set yet. So I just check for that before setting it to the playerController.playerProjectileData. That way I can set it when instantiating a new projectile and will skip this step enterely. Just is someone ever want to know about that, which I doubt, but there it is. I just answered my own question

[whole idol]

isnt it supposed to go wherever the car is kicking it towards?

[cosmic dagger]

no, that's what transform.forward does . . .

[whole idol]

thats what the car does

the box has no transform.forward

it has a rigid body and a mesh collider

and so does the car

have these components

[summer stump]

Yeah, that's what I was thinking

[frigid sequoia]

Pretty sure I did that tutorial and found no issues whatsoever. What's going wrong?

[cosmic dagger]

huh? every GameObject has a Transform component. so it does have a transform.forward, which moves the GameObject along its local z-axis . . .

[whole idol]

yeah but which object?

are you talking about the obstacles? or the truck?

[cosmic dagger]

which object for what? i was merely answering your question . . .

[whole idol]

you didnt answer my question at all lol

my question is why do the boxes stay in place

instead of being shot forward

I just finished the tutorial where he explains the truck script

but he doesnt explain why my obstacles just stay in place

his seem to work differently

and i did exactly the same steps he followed

[cosmic dagger]

the boxes will shoot forward if a strong enough force pushes it . . .

[whole idol]

i got 1000 mass on the truck rn

boxes got only like 20 mass

[frigid sequoia]

That's just how physics work, make it go faster or the box has less mass if you want them to gain more force on collision

[cosmic dagger]

i don't tinker with mass. are you using velocity or force to move the truck?

[frigid sequoia]

You can also change the physic material of the boxes, you might like to add some bounciness there

[frigid sequoia]

Translate moves the object in that direction that much amount each frame, but it doesn't apply any physics, it is just basically changing It position constantly, making it have no force whatsoever on the the boxes, they are just being gently pushed away by the colliders and rigidbodies, but there is no velocity

[obsidian granite]

Transform.Translate is the same as transform.position +=

no physics are used

it's just a rigid "go here to there"

[whole idol]

yeah

im following the tutorial

[obsidian granite]

tutorial is bad if it's telling you to transform.translate for physics

[ionic loom]

Translate doesn’t use physics

[obsidian granite]

you can use rigidbody.moveposition

[ionic loom]

Why tf would the tutorial say that

[obsidian granite]

or any of the similar methods

for physics

[whole idol]

https://learn.unity.com/tutorial/1-2-move-the-vehicle-with-your-first-line-of-c?uv=2022.3&pathwayId=5f7e17e1edbc2a5ec21a20af&missionId=5f71fe63edbc2a00200e9de0&projectId=5caccdfbedbc2a3cef0efe63#639946f2edbc2a2fc462dd11

its literally on Unity's official course itself

[obsidian granite]

this is so sad

yeah you never want to do that because transform.translate sets the position directly without consideration for physics

you can try to set the collision mode on the colliders to continuous and see if that helps

or lower the speed of the truck

[frigid sequoia]

I know, I did that too. It is not bad, you don't really need to know about adding forces yet, they are just showing you can move stuff in scene and that they can collide with each other, that's all

[brisk sigil]

is it possible to use unity to decompile a game

[obsidian granite]

i don't think you decompile a game with unity

you can decompile a game and then open it in unity

but unity itself doesn't decompile

[brisk sigil]

ok

[whole idol]

oh ok, so its not supposed to move around of its place? weird

[brisk sigil]

ok

[whole idol]

hopefully that wont cause problems as i continue on with the tutorial forward right?

[brisk sigil]

is there a way to decompile a game

[whole idol]

my physics dont work exactly the same as his

[obsidian granite]

yes

but the ethics are questionable on that

[brisk sigil]

wdym

[cosmic dagger]

we don't discuss decompilation of games on this server. you'll have to go elsewhere . . .

[frigid sequoia]

They do collide, they are just not having any forces taken into account for that. It is just trying to prevent two different rb colliders to exists at the same point, which is not the intended purpose, but does work just fine for the tutorial

Just don't that your own, you are not supposed to

[obsidian granite]

imagine you spend time making an entire game

for some random dude on the internet to open it up

and see exactly how everything that you worked for works

to get access to all the assets, all the code, etc

[brisk sigil]

i was just trying to make a mod for game so it can add multiplayer

[whole idol]

is there any way I can temporarily fix this at least? lol

[obsidian granite]

ehhh still pretty questionable. either way, no decompilation talk here

[brisk sigil]

ok

[silent dove]

im still not entirely sure with this, if somebody could help me out i'd appreciate it, it's the main problem im having right now (though i expected it to be the easier thing to do)
but i followed the tutorial, and this is my code, just adding an AudioSource and having it play,
but i think it's not wanting to work because the script is on a prefab, meaning i guess when its trying to play the sound its also having the prefab be deleted, so i'm not sure how to go about implementing a way to have it play the sound even if the prefab is destroyed?

[obsidian granite]

transform.translate would have to be replaced

[teal viper]

Modding isn't really an allowed topic on this server. Besides, modding is very specific to each game. You should look for a modding community. Preferably one that is related to that game as well.

[whole idol]

his seem to work perfect although he said somewhere in a random moment in the tutorial " im just switching to an ANCIENT version of unity right now" because reasons 😄

[brisk sigil]

ok I didn't know.

sorry

[frigid sequoia]

What do you even want to fix? Your physics don't need to be exactly the ones shown in the tutorial, just move on with the lessons, you will learn so much more than by getting fixated on this tiny issue

[obsidian granite]

do the official unity tutorials work? idk i don't think i've ever watched like a tutorial to learn a game engine or new framework that really worked

i just mess around and when i don't know how to do something i look it up

and then i learned how to do it

[teal viper]

What's the issue exactly?

[cosmic dagger]

your best bet is to get in touch with the makers of that game to see if or how you can mod it . . .

[brisk sigil]

ok I'll make sure to try that

[obsidian granite]

i don't want to post my question to multiple channels but general is getting no activity 😭

[frigid sequoia]

Usually you either place the soundclip on something else or "fake destroy" the object dissabling any colliders and renderers but let it stay there for a few seconds to play the clip. Or you can just spawn an empty prefab that plays the sound clip and is then destroyed.

[silent dove]

how would i go about fake destroying this?
with another sound idea i want to implement this would work since i can just have the player play the sound
but with this one both of the objects involved are prefabs, and both get destroyed, so i'm not sure how to implement it

[teal viper]

Your wall of text is hard to read. Maybe make it clear where a short description of the issue is(like an error or unintended behavior) and where the context is, because a lot of your message is about the project itself, rather than the issue. Since it's hard to read, most people would just skip it.

[frigid sequoia]

What do you want to destroy exactly?

[whole idol]

I like how people swear by Unity's official tutorials, i just started it yesterday and I remember somewhere in a video where he spent like a whole 6 minute straight explaining how ctrl+z works to undo stuff as if it's advanced thermodynamics

[silent dove]

in the game, the player shoots a laser, which is what this code is for, and so when the laser collides with an enemy, it plays an animation and destroys both the laser and the enemy

im hoping to have it play a sound around that time, which is why i wouldnt mind just making the laser still exist, just not be visible and not collide with anything for a few seconds

[obsidian granite]

ty for the tip! I just figured it out, but i'll keep it in mind for the future

[frigid sequoia]

I literally just watched everything in the course at x2 speed and still seemed slow

[silent dove]

im just not sure how to implement that, i'm kind of new to unity, i just started it for this semester, and i havent gotten a good grasp on it i feel like

[frigid sequoia]

Get the collider and the mesh renderer of the laser. Then set enabled to false. Add a delay to the destroy method to let time to play the sound

[obsidian granite]

You could instantiate a new object with the sound that also auto destroys itself after x amount of time, that's usually what I end up doing for "on destroy" sound effects

[frigid sequoia]

Just do whatever works for you now until you feel confortable to do a bit more complex stuff

[silent dove]

that might work too

[obsidian granite]

i'm sure there's a better solution, but it's low IQ as hell and it works for me

[silent dove]

well, i was using a tutorial for this little game, and then added a few things seperately as a project, and a continuation is due somewhat soon, so i've been trying to add a few things

i wanted to add some other features, but i kind of had to simplify them since its kinda complex for me

[obsidian granite]

@summer stump how come?

[summer stump]

PlayClipAtPoint
https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/AudioSource.PlayClipAtPoint.html

[obsidian granite]

see there's always a better solution

[frigid sequoia]

Pretty sure the pros have an entire sound manager with an event system that tells them when and where an specific sound should be played but...

I am not that 🤷🏻

[silent dove]

ah so instead of just audioPlayer.Play() do audioPlayer.PlayClipAtPoint ?

[obsidian granite]

it's a static method

so don't call it on whatever object you have

call it on the AudioSource class itself

[summer stump]

Yeah, or just do a coroutine to play the sound and then destroy it after the sound is done

[frigid sequoia]

Destroy already has an overflow for that

[obsidian granite]

overload?

[frigid sequoia]

Destroy(gameObject, [delayTime])

[summer stump]

Yeah, but waituntil is more dynamic

[obsidian granite]

here you have to specify a static amount of time

[summer stump]

Destroy with a timer would work too though

[obsidian granite]

doesn't the method that you sent already do that tho?

[silent dove]

im not sure how to do that sort of stuff i can check it out, but first i'll look at PlayClipAtPoint and see if i get the audio playing from that

[frigid sequoia]

Sure, not really needed though

[summer stump]

What is needed and what makes things easier are two different things.

[obsidian granite]

what would the point be of implementing your own destroy timer if the method does it all for you?

[summer stump]

It creates a new separate object and destroys it

[summer stump]

Who said a timer?

[obsidian granite]

ah, as opposed to keeping the same object and then destroying it later?

[obsidian granite]

this sounds sarcastic

it was not

it was a genuine expression of me realizing the difference

hm, seems kind of asinine to keep the same object tho

i mean, i guess you get the performance benefit of not creating a new object

but at that point you're splitting hairs

[frigid sequoia]

I mean, as everything here, you can get pretty similar results with very different ways

There is no correct way, just the ones that do work and the ones that don't

[summer stump]

How is that splitting hairs.... when you have a lot of objects (like lasers firing often) it is a non-trivial difference in performance

[obsidian granite]

i meant in the case of their game

[summer stump]

They have to wait for the animation too already

[summer stump]

I mentioned their use case

Lasers

[obsidian granite]

yeah, but their game is not going to be having performance issues

[silent dove]

do i need position and volume for it?

[obsidian granite]

yeah

[frigid sequoia]

I literally have no idea if even "hiding the object" would requiere less procesing that instantiating a new one with just a new audio clip, seems pretty insignificant difference in performance to me

[summer stump]

Position yes, volume is an optional parameter so no

[obsidian granite]

1st arg is the sound, 2nd is the position, 3rd is volume optional

[silent dove]

yeah, okay so transform.position should be fine i think

[frigid sequoia]

And I have never resched to the point that I need to use the profiler, yet

[obsidian granite]

really?

i've needed to use it before to see where memory leaks were happening (because i'm stupid and my code looks like a 3 year old wrote it)

[silent dove]

now im getting and error
"Member 'AudioSource.PlayClipAtPoint(AudioClip, Vector3)' cannot be accessed with an instance reference; qualify it with a type name instead"

[obsidian granite]

like i said

[frigid sequoia]

Dunno, not like I have done anything huge

[obsidian granite]

it's a static method

[silent dove]

oh

[obsidian granite]

you can't call it on an instance of an object

call it on the class

[summer stump]

Did you read the docs? It has a code example

[frigid sequoia]

Though I am fearing that in few weeks I will have performance issues if I keep adding powerups that can combine the way they are doing right now XD

[summer stump]

If they are firing a few dozen lasers or more a second (like a bullet hell), it would make a difference. If only a few, it wouldn't

[obsidian granite]

ah, yeah for sure, i wasn't thinking about the scale of like 50+ objects, just around a few

[silent dove]

i saw the code example, but im not entirely sure uh, you said call it on the class?

[obsidian granite]

yeah

[silent dove]

and yeah its only a few lasers, nothing crazy

[summer stump]

I dunno the scope of the game 🤷‍♂️

[obsidian granite]

better 2 be cautious like u were

[summer stump]

Then yeah, playclipatpoint is simple

[frigid sequoia]

It would, you could also pool it if you want to have it superpolished, but once again, not really needed

[strong wren]

It would be pretty surprising if coordinating object creation between C# and the C++ Unity engine would be cheaper than changing some state on it.

[hardy mist]

does invalid scene equal non-existent scene?

[silent dove]

wait idk if im thinking of it right, im not sure what the class is exactly? at least in this code, would i put a new if statement in the update?

[frigid sequoia]

So... changing several states is likely, most of the time, less consuming than instantiating a simple empty with just a single component?

[silent dove]

im not sure where in the code i would put it i guess?

[summer stump]

Well of course
Depends on what you mean by changing several states I guess. But most likely yes

[summer stump]

I would do it in the collision code

[summer stump]

Maybe. Share the context of where you see that

Is it from a build, an error in code, trying to open a scene asset? Where

[hardy mist]

In runtime, I want to unload a scene if it is loaded. GetSceneByName() always returns a scene, how do I know I should unload?

[silent dove]

in the if statement for it right?

that's where i had it

[hot lily]

i feel like an idiot but what's the difference between controllerMove and controllerMoveInAir?

ie which one should I actually use?

[summer stump]

Not sure. If the if statement is to validate the collision, then sure

[silent dove]

the if statement is for seeing if the laser has hit an enemy, so then it does all of the other things

[summer stump]

So it us an error when you run the code to unload a scene? Do you have another scene loaded?

[silent dove]

and i tried to put the playclipatpoint there, but it came up with that error since its a private void right?
this is the code rn

oh

[summer stump]

What is this? CharacterController has Move and SimpleMove

[silent dove]

or is it because i have the audiosource and audioclip not in the if statement?

im not entirely sure if thats what is needed for it to work

[summer stump]

PlayClipAtPoint is static. You are using audioSource (a reference) instead of AudioSource (the type)

[summer stump]

Ah, an asset. Not sure then

Does PlayMaker have a discord?

[hot lily]

huh so move in air is not something that's native to unity*? i'll ask them about it

[summer stump]

Nope, not as far as I've seen

Have you googled it?

[hardy mist]

I just want to create a method which will unload a scene if it is loaded. It can happen in multiple cases: when another scene is loaded, when no other scenes are loaded, there is no definite context except the fact, that there cannot be multiple instances of the scene running. Should I unload the scene only if I find the scene with this name?

I don't have any errors, I'm just trying to create a safe unload method

[summer stump]

You can't unload a scene if no other scene is loaded...

[hardy mist]

then there will always be a scene

[summer stump]

Well, you haven't really explained in which cases a scene should be unloaded. Just "when it is loaded" but that doesn't make sense, because then you would just immediately unload any scene you load

You can do it however you want, so there is NO "should"
It is not an answerable question

[silent dove]

ohh

[hot lily]

nothing comes out of google, i'll ask playmaker if they know anything

[hardy mist]

Lol, imagine unity were asking about the context before they created any method in their API 😄

[summer stump]

What?

[silent dove]

ahh nice okay cool

its working now, thank you, i think i can use that to make the other sounds i'll need work too thank you so much, sorry i didnt get what you meant at first

[hardy mist]

I want to create a method to unload a scene safely, if it exists. That is the only relevant info.
It can exist. It cannot exist. It is not a subscene, so whether other scenes exist is irrelevant. Since other scenes don't affect this one

[summer stump]

No problem, glad it works!

[summer stump]

Ok... well, that is different than what you explained before. You just want to be able to unload a scene... maybe explain that clearly next time. You said unload a scene "when it is loaded" (which I took to mean at the moment it was loaded)

We do need context to answer things. And getting snarky about it is unproductive

Have you seen this?
https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/SceneManagement.SceneManager.UnloadSceneAsync.html

This?
https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/SceneManagement.Scene-name.html

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

[hardy mist]

I said when it is loaded, because unload throws when the scene is unloaded. And I want to unload safely

[hardy mist]

yes, it isn't safe, it can throw. And not clear what exceptions to handle.

[summer stump]

Well yeah, check if the scene is loaded first...

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/SceneManagement.Scene-isLoaded.html

[hardy mist]

thank you, yes, this is what I was looking for.
So the method would look like:
if (SceneManager.GetSceneByName(sceneName).IsLoaded()) UnloadSceneAsync

[eternal needle]

seems like an odd thing to need at all

[hardy mist]

not at all, e.g. a disconnection in a game, which can happen during a scene transition. Next scene hasn't been loaded yet, previous scene has been unloaded.
But during disconnect you want to unload everything

[summer stump]

I would prefer keeping track of which scenes ARE loaded, but sure.

I assume this is for additive scene loading?

[eternal needle]

even the case you suggest does not make sense. If you disconnect, simply go back to the main menu. If its not loaded yet, how is your previous scene unloaded? How will your method help if you are checking isLoaded?
this method implies you're gonna go through every single scene name and try unloading it

[hardy mist]

maybe yeah, will be better to keep track of things. The scene is unloaded additively, yeah, but can only be loaded once.

[hardy mist]

"Simply go back to the main menu" can mean different things. Menu is not the same scene in my game, it's a "root" scene, different from gameplay scenes, which server loads for clients.
Server is the only authority which triggers scene loads/unload, but disconnection is the case where server cannot do it's job, so the client has to do it themselves before connecting again.

[eternal needle]

I dont see how any of this is related. your game is gonna have an initial scene at some point. Just go back to there from the client, that is what a ton of games do when disconnected

[hardy mist]

yes, I do that in addition to unloading gameplay scenes.

[eternal needle]

iirc loading a scene with LoadSceneMode.Single should unload all the other scenes for you

[hardy mist]

didn't know that, thanks

[summer stump]

With the exception of DontDestroyOnLoad

But that is kind of the point of that

[abstract finch]

Is this possible or should I just convert teh structs to classes?
-Make an array of structs
-Check if a struct is null
-Allow the struct to become null in the array.

[summer stump]

By default, structs cannot be null. They are value types

You could declare it nullable. But better might be to have a bool field called initialized or something

What would be the purpose of checking if it is null though? Because there may be a better way to handle it

[abstract finch]

So I have an array of 5 ragdoll infos.

Aftera certain period of time I want them to become null

but actually my approach is wrong, i could just use Time.time to structure it differently

ill figure it out thanks

[nimble apex]

can i ignore multiple layers on raycast hit?

lets say i have to ignore no.17 and 18 layers

[abstract finch]

are you using layermask?

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/LayerMask.html

[wintry quarry]

Use a layer mask to include or ignore whatever layers you wish

[deft glade]

this is the place where i ask for help on code right?

simple code*

[summer stump]

Yes

[deft glade]

im trying to make my sprite move continually but right now it only moves once when i click the button i assigned it to, how do i make it move without stopping.
void Update()
{
if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.RightArrow) == true)
{
myrigidbody.velocity = Vector3.right * givenvalue;
}

}

}
that is the code im using
"givenvalue" is just move speed

[summer stump]

Use GetKey

Instead of GetKeyDown

[deft glade]

thank you!

[wintry quarry]

Your problem is you have some other code overwriting the velocity elsewhere

Velocity would otherwise stick

[summer stump]

Yeah, I should have read further. I jumped when I saw GetKeyDown

[wintry quarry]

(not accounting for friction etc)

[summer stump]

So, check any other code for velocity =
That would be the first thing to check at least

[deft glade]

public float givenvalue; my velocity is tied to this so i can see in game to make small tweaks quickly

[wintry quarry]

It could also be an issue of friction in which case you need to deal with the friction either with a custom physics material or just by doing what aethenosity said

[wintry quarry]

That's nice but not relevant to what we're saying

[deft glade]

oh okay

sry, im really new.

this is my first game ive made without a step-step guide

[dark hatch]

i have an item class, having some data in it. the item class has one instance for each item, so i want to hardcode these instances and then reference it from other scripts. but, my item class has a sprite property (an image used for UI of that item), which i can't assign in a static script. any workaround?

[wintry quarry]

Why not use ScriptableObjects?

That's exactly what they're for

[dark hatch]

ok

thanks

[dark hatch]

is it possible to get data from a scriptable object into a static script?

[wintry quarry]

What do you mean by "static script"? Why do you need a "static script"?

Everything is possible

[dark hatch]

static class, my bad

[wintry quarry]

Same question

[dark hatch]

what about using a scriptableobject data in another scriptableobject?

[wintry quarry]

If you're using a static class as a beginner you're doing something wrong, to be perfectly honest

[wintry quarry]

Not a problem

[dark hatch]

i've been using static classes for referencing, so switched one script to scriptableobject now requires me to make each on a scriptableobject

not that bad though

[wintry quarry]

Learn to deal with references properly instead

You almost definitely didn't use a static class though. You probably have a static reference field. Static class is a different concept

[summer stump]

That is a really bad reason to use static classes.
https://unity.huh.how/references

[dark hatch]

how do i serialise a jagged array

[wintry quarry]

Either restructure it to an array of objects containing arrays, or use a different serializer that supports jagged strays

[dark hatch]

what is an array of objects containing arrays?

[summer stump]

Which part do you not know?

[wintry quarry]

[Serializable]
public class Container {
  public int[] data;
}

public Container[] containers;```

Literally an array of objects containing arrays

[native seal]

im curious what youre using static for

[summer stump]

#💻┃code-beginner message

For referencing 😭

[native seal]

how would there be multiple items then 😆

[eternal needle]

static instance1; static instance2; static instance3..

hi i try to make a turret placement system with raycast 3D in unity but i try to make that dont put my turret if the ray touch a "obstacle" object the code:

{
    Ray ray = Camera.main.ScreenPointToRay(Input.mousePosition);
    RaycastHit[] hits = Physics.RaycastAll(ray, Mathf.Infinity);

    foreach (RaycastHit hit in hits)
    {
        if (!hit.collider.CompareTag("Obstacle"));
        {
        if (hit.collider != null && hit.collider.CompareTag("map"))
        {
            tourelle1Renderer.material.SetColor("_Color", Color.green);
            Vector3 turretPosition = hit.point;
            Vector3 turretOffset = new Vector3(0f, -0.5f, 0f); 

            turretPosition += turretOffset;

            transform.position = turretPosition;

            if (Input.GetButtonDown("Fire1"))
            {
                Destroy(gameObject);
                putTurret1 = true;
            }

            if (putTurret1)
            {
                Instantiate(tourelle1placable, transform.position, Quaternion.identity);
            }
            
        
            break;
        
        }
        }
    
    }
}```

[fossil tree]

that just pass through the obstacle

[eternal needle]

you are using RaycastAll, the point of that is to pass through objects and get every single object hit within that line

[fossil tree]

how can i use single raycast?

for getting the first thing i hit

[eternal needle]

just do Physics.Raycast then

[fossil tree]

like that ? RaycastHit[] hits = Physics.Raycast(ray, Mathf.Infinity);

[eternal needle]

no, raycast only returns one which is gonna be the first object hit
https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Physics.Raycast.html

[fossil tree]

oh i see

[hot lily]

After a few fruitless searches
Anyone know what Controller Move In Air is? It just exists and my only asset used is Playmaker

[fossil tree]

can i just dont change my raycast and check if one of my hit are a certain tag

[eternal needle]

you are already doing that, twice in your code...
did you write this code yourself or is it AI 🤖 generated

[fossil tree]

its ai i dont understand anything to raycast bro xd

i have try many tutorial

[eternal needle]

#📖┃code-of-conduct dont post AI code

you dont even know what the code is doing, obviously its not gonna work

[eternal needle]

Start with just using Raycast (link above), and experiment around with it. Debug the names of objects that were hit, then try expanding your logic based on that

[fossil tree]

i not really have the time xd its for a school project

[eternal needle]

or you did have time to learn but just started working on it last minute. Either way, you arent making a functioning game by guessing, so get to experimenting and learning

[sand condor]

Is there a way to expose this function to a UnityEvent? ScreenPosition is a public enum that is markes as serializable.

public void MoveRectToTheOutside(ScreenPosition targetScreen)
{
  MoveOutSide((int)targetScreen, null);
}

The function should move the RectTransform outside of the screen, but exactly one screen above/to the right/below/to the left. I'd like to pick the direction in the inspector via a UnityEvent on my button-component, but the function does not show up. I am using Unity 2020.3.12f1 but will probably upgrade to the newest 2022-LTS version soon.

[long jacinth]

Guys i dont know what to do

[fossil tree]

i dont know too

[sand condor]

So this is in the editor first and then as a build second? I think without a little bit of explanation there is no way to help out. Here are some pointers of what could be wrong: https://forum.unity.com/threads/editor-vs-build.1479954/

[long jacinth]

i really dont know what could be going wrong

so when the charachter jump its supposed to disable the box collider and swap the tile texture

if (Input.GetButtonUp("Jump"))
{
if(RedOn)
{
RedOn = false;
}
else
{
RedOn = true;
}
}

this is the code for jump

if(RedOn)
{
Tilemap RedTile = RedGrid.GetComponent<Tilemap>();
Tilemap BlueTile = BlueGrid.GetComponent<Tilemap>();
RedGrid.GetComponent<TilemapCollider2D>().enabled = true;
BlueGrid.GetComponent<TilemapCollider2D>().enabled = false;
RedTile.SwapTile(TileGrid,Tile);
BlueTile.SwapTile(Tile,TileGrid);
}
else
{
Tilemap RedTile = RedGrid.GetComponent<Tilemap>();
Tilemap BlueTile = BlueGrid.GetComponent<Tilemap>();
RedGrid.GetComponent<TilemapCollider2D>().enabled = false;
BlueGrid.GetComponent<TilemapCollider2D>().enabled = true;
RedTile.SwapTile(Tile,TileGrid);
BlueTile.SwapTile(TileGrid,Tile);
}

code for switching the tile

but as you can see it only turns off the box collider and doesnt switch the tile texture

[south sky]

How do you pause the animation during runtime, I wanna test soemthing

Is the order in which stuff is picked up in physics.SphereOverlap ordered by how close it is to the centre of the sphere?

[languid spire]

no, the order is random

[rare basin]

nope

[hexed terrace]

A UnityEvent can only access a method with:

• no parameters
• 1 parameter
• parameters that are bool/ string
• probably int and float too

[hot lily]

For health systems which i believe the health variables should be best kept as private integers,

• I should have a maxHP component and a currentHP component for sanity's sake, correct?
• If this health value should be able to be influenced by equipment and level etc., is it possible to affect this maxHP component by another script, or I should put those variables that would affect maxHP into the same script?
• Does using [SerializeField] allow other scripts to reference private values, or they must be a public value regardless?

[wintry quarry]

Are you confusing "property" or "field" with "component"?

• yes you would need to separately track max and current HP

• if you want it to be modifiable by things you'll need to have a slightly more complex system with temporary modifiers that can be added or removed (and perhaps permanent ones too like leveling)

• SerializeField makes the field serialized. It doesn't make it public. It's highly discouraged to use public fields.

[hot lily]

it's been 3000 years since i touched unity so i kinda don't remember how to do things already

How do I get and utilize integers that are supposed to be private if it's not possible to access it from other scripts?

[wintry quarry]

Use accessors of course

not really even a Unity thing

just a general OOP thing

[hot lily]

ah alright

thanks

[tall delta]

if you need to access them from other scripts, they are not supped to be private? that's a bit of an oxymoron

[wintry quarry]

you can and should make your fields private

even if you want them accessed by other scripts

a public field is completely open to unfettered manipulation from the outside

with an accessor you can carefully control the access as you choose

[tall delta]

yeah, I'm gonna have to disagree on that one

[wintry quarry]

Feel free to disagree

[burnt vapor]

Public fields are bad practice. Do yourself a favor and keep your code readable by exposing as little as possible.

If you need to expose variables, use a getter-property

[tall delta]

there is no functionally difference between this:

public int MyIn;

and this:

public int MyIn { get; set;}

unless you are using a library that relies on the auto-generated code for reflection / weaving purposes.

[burnt vapor]

This is why you don't use a setter in the property

Also there is a difference, properties are expected to be the thing you set, and your IDE actually documents what things access it

With a field this is guesswork, or manual searching

Pretty much everything in c# assumes you work with properties when it comes to setting and reading data.

[tall delta]

c# as a languages makes no assumptions like that

but you might

[hot lily]

an additional question
I understand that maxHP should be private, but what about currentHP? is it also beneficial to make a private+getter or just set it public (since it's likely it will fluctuate across the game)?

[teal viper]

There's a mindset difference. While you're typing a property you have some more time to think wether it should have a public setter.

[burnt vapor]

There should be a single thing managing these settings and you should make sure you are making it modify a private field. Anything else could fetch this current state from a property with a getter.

[vernal minnow]

Where are you storing the variables would determine that

A game controller should be able to handle most if not all of your variables

[wintry quarry]

Yeah of course not. There's no point in using the second one and nobody suggested you should

For something like MaxHealth you don't want people meddling with it from outside

[burnt vapor]

With anything in c# I mean the functionalities you implement in c#.

[wintry quarry]

it should be

[SerializeField]
private int _maxHealth;
public int MaxHealth => _maxHealth;```

or using private setter

but likely you'd want an event etc on the setter. This gives you the fine grained control over the thing you need.

[vernal minnow]

Now I have a question, do serialized private variables mess with the game similarly to how public variables can?

[wintry quarry]

what do you mean by "mess with the game"?

[burnt vapor]

Define mess? I'm not sure what you mean

[vernal minnow]

Ok, public variables occasionally won't update when you change the code in the script

[burnt vapor]

They don't randomly refuse to change, I don't know what you mean

[wintry quarry]

you mean when you update the field initializer? They're still serialized, so that will still happen

[burnt vapor]

Do you mean setting a value which is not reflected in the editor?

[wintry quarry]

that's an expected consequence of serializing something

there's nothing "occasional" about it though, it's completely well defined behavior

[vernal minnow]

The editor doesn't like to update variables when the script changes

[wintry quarry]

Of course not. It respects your serialized value

as it should

That would be crazy if it overwrote all of your assets

[burnt vapor]

Pretty sure you can reset a component's context in the editor if you want them updated

Then it would overwrite it

[vernal minnow]

Dang, I was hoping to see the variables without locking them in the editor

[teal viper]

Locking?🤔

[vernal minnow]

Regardless of how I modify the variables in the script, unless I set an on start function to fix all of them, I have to either reset the script or remove and re-add the variables to get them changed in the editor

I'll just swap to non serialized privates ig

[teal viper]

Why would you change the value in the script every time?

[hot lily]

on an unrelated note, is this more "efficient" than private+accessor, or the difference is minimal to non-existant?

[teal viper]

It's supposed to be a default value for each component. Not something you change periodically

[hot lily]

thx btw

[vernal minnow]

I like to test them while it's running, and when I find a value I like, I usually want to hardcode the value so I don't lose it

[burnt vapor]

There's no difference apart from the compiler adding an extra method between your call to the field. This change is negligible.

[hot lily]

thx

[burnt vapor]

If you want you could get rid of this if you really care with aggressive inlining

[hidden sleet]

so I've got this code here which properly updates a progress bar, ```cs
public Image barImage;
[Range(0f, 1f)]
public float fillAmount;

public void GradualBarUpdate(float fillValue, float fillDuration, bool tapers)
{
barImage.gameObject.SetActive(true);
StartCoroutine(SmoothUpdateProgressBar(fillValue, fillDuration, false));
}

public IEnumerator SmoothUpdateProgressBar(float fillValue, float fillDuration, bool tapers)
{
barImage.gameObject.SetActive(true);
float elapsedTime = 0f;
float startFillAmount = barImage.fillAmount;

    while (elapsedTime < fillDuration)
    {
        float t = elapsedTime / fillDuration;
        fillAmount = Mathf.Lerp(startFillAmount, fillValue, t);
        Mathf.Clamp(fillAmount, 0F, 1F);
        barImage.fillAmount = fillAmount;

        yield return null;
        elapsedTime += Time.deltaTime;
    }

    barImage.fillAmount = fillValue;

    if (barImage.fillAmount >= 0.97F)
    {
        BarHasFilled();
    }
}

It works, which is great, but my initial approach didn't work, it just updated instantly and I wanted to double check why. I thought that how I used time.Deltatime here would be enough to show a smooth update, but it didn't work as I expected. What am I misunderstanding that led to my first approach not working?

```cs
public void GradualBarUpdate(float fillValue, float fillDuration, bool tapers)
    {
        barImage.gameObject.SetActive(true);
        float elapsedTime = 0f;
        float startFillAmount = barImage.fillAmount;

        while (elapsedTime < fillDuration)
        {
            float t = elapsedTime / fillDuration;
            fillAmount = Mathf.Lerp(startFillAmount, fillValue, t);
            Mathf.Clamp(fillAmount, 0F, 1F);
            barImage.fillAmount = fillAmount;

            elapsedTime += Time.deltaTime;
        }

        if (barImage.fillAmount >= 0.97F)
        {
            BarHasFilled();
        }
    }

[wintry quarry]

when and where are you calling GradiualBarUpdate?

Also your Mathf.Clamp(fillAmount, 0F, 1F); line isn't doing anything whatsoever

anyway all this code is pretty massively overcomplicated I'd say

[hidden sleet]

On another object's interact method, so this will be when you are in proximity and have pressed E once ```cs
public class MainObjective : MonoBehaviour, IInteractable
{

public ProgressBar interactionProgressBar;

private void Awake()
{
interactionProgressBar.OnBarFilled += ProgressComplete

}

public void Interact()
{
    interactionProgressBar.GradualBarUpdate(1F, 2F, false);
}

}

[wintry quarry]

float targetFill;
float currentFill;

void Update() {
  currentFill = Mathf.MoveTowards(currentFill, targetFill, fillSpeed * Time.deltaTime);
  barImage.fillAmount = currentFill;
}

public void SetFillAmount(float fillAmount) {
  targetFill = fillAmount;
}```

I would just do this^ much simpler. No coroutines. Less code.

[hidden sleet]

I just didn't really want to put it in update since it follows the process of 'Press e -> Start filling -> Finish Filling -> Destroy ui element' having it constantly update seemed a bit redundant

[wintry quarry]

so have it disable itself when it reaches the fill amount

¯_(ツ)_/¯

(and re-enable when setting a fill amount)

you can use that logic for the event handling too.

float targetFill;
float currentFill;

void Update() {
  currentFill = Mathf.MoveTowards(currentFill, targetFill, fillSpeed * Time.deltaTime);
  barImage.fillAmount = currentFill;
  if (currentFill == targetFill) {
    enabled = false;
    OnBarFilled?.invoke();
  }
}

public void SetFillAmount(float fillAmount) {
  targetFill = fillAmount;
  enabled = true;
}```

[hidden sleet]

is .MoveTowards much different to lerp?

[wintry quarry]

the way you're using Lerp they will do the same exact thing

just constant linear motion

[wintry quarry]

anyway your initial approach here didn't work because you didn't have a yield in the while loop

that led to the loop just running to completion instantly

[hidden sleet]

so it's not got enough time between runs to actually see the bar move

[wintry quarry]

I mean it all happens within a single frame.

There's not enough time sure but also the game doesn't even render until the end of the frame

[hidden sleet]

ah, I gotcha

does enabled here replace how you'd use gameobject.SetActive?

[south sky]

Yo guys I want to add velocity to a character upwards but using AddForce is wrong as it adds force based on the players velocity but I want the force to be fixed. Anyway to do that?

[wintry quarry]

two differnet hings

SetActive activates/deactivates a GameObject

enabled just enables or disables the script

[wintry quarry]

What do you mean by "AddForce is wrong as it adds force based on the players velocity"

And what do you mean by "I want the force to be fixed"?

[hidden sleet]

so the same as ticking the box on the component in the inspector?

[wintry quarry]

AddForce does exactly whatever you tell it to.

[wintry quarry]

yes

[hidden sleet]

ah, that's good to know

[wintry quarry]

Sounds like you don't want the force to be fixed. You want the resulting velocity to be fixed. In Which case you shouldn't be adding a force at all, you should just be setting the velocity.

[hidden sleet]

Yeah this is definitely a lot simpler than what i ended up doing :/
Still learnt from it though

if a gameobject is set to inactive I take it that isn't just 'not visible', but cannot do anything

[south sky]

Basically, idk whats going on but when the player is moving and AddForce runs, the player shoots up but when the player is stationary, the AddForce that runs is very little

[long jacinth]

but why does it work in editor and not the build

[wintry quarry]

You'd have to show the rest of the code - but for one this should be an Impulse force if it's a one-off thing.

[south sky]

I just reposted your code I didnt fix anthing

[rapid zodiac]

I was making a 2d game like flappy bird as my first project. I wanted to add an invincibility potion where after the bird comes in contact with the box collider of the potion sprite, the box collider of the pipes are turned off for some time. Can anybody tell me which unity function can be used to accomplish this?

[long jacinth]

I know but im still confused

can someone pls tell me why this happens

heres the video again

[south sky]

You dont need to use obs, windows has a new feature where you can screen record if you press printscreen

[long jacinth]

whats the shortcut?

[timber tide]

Id just coroutine the box collider on the player sprite

[south sky]

Thats really weird though

[south sky]

Printscreen

[long jacinth]

doesnt work for me

xbox gamebar right

[south sky]

As seen by the video if the player just jumps on the enemy it boosts a little bit up but if the player drops from a small height then the player wont jump. Doesnt that mean AddForce depends on velocity?

[rapid zodiac]

So i should create a function where when player comes in contact with the potion, i turn off the box collider of the player?

[timber tide]

Yeah that would be easier, but ideally you just flip a bool like canDamage = false

[next haven]

if i change a value (like SubEntityData) inside originalProfile, will it also change the one inside blackboard.AttackProfile

[wintry quarry]

No it means AddForce is additive

[next haven]

like, is originalProfile an exact copy, or does changing it also change the place i got it from

[wintry quarry]

0 + 5 = 5
-3 + 5 = 2

that's all

So again it sounds like you don't wish to add a force

it sounds like you wish to set the y velocity

myRb.velocityY = whatever;```

(assuming you're in Unity 2023+)

[south sky]

OHHH I see

[south sky]

Thabk you so much man

I love you

[long jacinth]

guys pls help me or is this not a beginner problem

[south sky]

I cant help friend but post the problem to advanced and see

[long jacinth]

ok i will see

[wintry quarry]

you need to debug your code

this means taking concrete debugging steps to see what's going wrong. Log statements, attaching a debugger, etc. to test your assumptions and see what's going wrong.

[south sky]

Oh wait no im using 2022

Is it different?

[wintry quarry]

yeah you'll just have to write it a little differently

myRb.velocity = new(myRb.velocity.x, whatever);```

just a little less nice

[cinder crag]

why does this keep appearing, im lost ngl

[wintry quarry]

well you're looking at the wrong script

read the error message
the error tells you which script and line number to look at

[south sky]

0.Preciate it man

[wintry quarry]

You need to look at WeaponUI.cs Line 15 @cinder crag

[long jacinth]

how do i do that

[next haven]

anyone got an answer for this?

[long jacinth]

i got no errors

even with full log

[wintry quarry]

#💻┃code-beginner message

[long jacinth]

hmmm so i put debug.log

but how do i see if it while in the build
