I apologize. I tried to post in Unity-talk and was redirected here.

[young warren]

pretty sure Osteel was talking to someone else

[summer stump]

Yes, that was clearly for the other person asking if they could ask questions 😸

Talking to that other person in another server. They are not asking anythikg related to unity, which is why they didn't continue asking

Ok so im at this stage of that Unity tutorial where it sadly stopped providing helpful tutorials about the code or the game and unity's functions etc etc and instead is just showing me how to write a report or whatever on what my game is gonna be, i dont care, the tutorials were good at teaching stuff but the good tutorials ended way too quickly, now its just random crap again

anyway so he gives me all the creative freedom to basically do whatever i want at this point to "learn" and i decided to do this

its basically a basic flappy bird game but the code gotten kinda complicated here lol

[whole idol]

also check this out, it is making new obstacles properly but at this stage I want the obstacles to be able to move backwards on a loop, so far i couldnt make this to work yet

and also have another problem which is the fact that its instantiating 2 then 4 then 4 becomes 8 then 8 becomes 16 then 16 pipe obstacles become 32 etc etc. This is also another big problem which I dont understand so far why it happens or how to stop it.

[languid spire]

pipes should not spawn pipes, that is why it is exponential

[nimble panther]

Hi, I'm kinda new to Unity, and I have an error in my code that I can't understand. I'm trying to access another object's velocity from a different object, but it says I can't access the rigidbody due to not having permissions to view it. However, the class and rigidbody are both public, so I don't know what's going on. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Also I hope this is the right thread for this

[whole idol]

well then how would you make an endless survival game?

this isnt supposed to be a multiple scenes type of game

i wanted to make the pipe platforms spawn somewhere between those extreme upper lower variables you see on top of my script

and i planned on using something similar to python's random.randint()

[languid spire]

show the declaration of Boat in the Camera script

[nimble panther]

wdym

[languid spire]

you just need to make a seperate gameobject which handles the spawning and remove it from your pipe script

[nimble panther]

i have to declare the boat in the camera script?

this is all the code up until that point

[languid spire]

if you want to use there, yes. What did you think Boat. did?

[nimble panther]

i thought it accessed the gameobject that i declared in the boat script

[languid spire]

no

[nimble panther]

like here

[languid spire]

your camera script knows nothing about that

[nimble panther]

even though it's public?

i thought that's what making it public did: allow everything to see it

[languid spire]

I think you need to follow some basic C# tutorials

[young warren]

you should start with configuring your Visual Studio first. and then I'd highly recommend you watch this video. You seem to have a misunderstanding on how to get references to object
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dtv7mjj_iog

the issue is not the access modifier, which is public

you're right that it needs to be public, but that's not the problem here

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

• Visual Studio (Installed via Unity Hub)

[young warren]

heres the guide to configure your visual studio

and if you're really new to programming and Unity in general, start with a C# tutorial

then the beginner scripting course in Unity Learn
https://learn.unity.com/project/beginner-gameplay-scripting

the reason why we're directing you to tutorials is because you have a misunderstanding of some of the fundamentals, so it'll be hard for you to understand the help that's given at this point

[crisp knoll]

is photon pun outdated? i’ve been following a tutorial on it and don’t want to get too far into it with something not “useful”

alternatively, what is a multiplayer game service you would recommend and where would i get that?

[young warren]

might want to ask in #archived-networking instead

check out the pins there too

[crisp knoll]

okie :)

[whole idol]

ok, why does that make a difference tho, thats weird

[languid spire]

it's not weird at all. Think about it.
you have a pipe running that Update/Spawn loop. it spawns a new pipe so now you have 2 pipes running the same loop, etc, etc

[whole idol]

then the same thing will happen if i make a nested object inside of another object i think

so do i still need to get the old gameobject?

or use the parent?

[languid spire]

yes, your spawner should be completely separate from your pipes

[whole idol]

PipeSpawner is empty

ok, is the Pipe Pair okay?

as you can see here I still have the old pipe prefab object attached inside of that reference

[languid spire]

you don't need a prefab there at all

[whole idol]

Line 10 public GameObject PipePair; // should I remove this?

[languid spire]

did you not understand what I said? You need to move the whole spawning code to a new script and put that on a separate object. It should not be in a script attached to a pipe

[whole idol]

its not attached to a pipe at all

in fact

right now it works perfectly

well almost

Its no longer spawning exponentially

[languid spire]

if it is not attached to a pipe what is it supposed to be moving?

[whole idol]

it is attached to the child pipe object containing 2 pipes, the thing is, its not doing anything right now because I haven't given it any logic for what I wanna do with it but im not sure if i should keep it or not, so basically my next step is to ensure that all these pipes move on the position.x axis in a negative way multiplied by speed and time.delta time and then destroy them after a while once they get off the screen

[languid spire]

This script should be attached to the PipeSpawner object. you will then need another script to attach to the pipe objects to make them move

[whole idol]

well here's the thing

I tried that just now

and I got the same exponential duplication problem

so I attached the public GameObject to child object again and it got away

so this is what was causing the problem

anyway is there a way that a script can reference the object it is using without needing to use these serealized fields to communicate to a gameobject from the hierarchy?

if this script is in my inspector of PipeSpawner

then it makes sense that I could use PipeSpawner and push that shit back and forth and create the illusion that they are moving

in fact PipeSpawner is a name i might need to change rn

[languid spire]

yes but if you can directly reference the objects via the inspector you should

Look your setup is very simple
Pipespawner - has pipeposition script which spawns PipePair
-> PipePair - has a script which moves the pipes

[spice ravine]

Hello, I am a new beginner to unity, and I made some UI

now, I don't know how do I check when something is clicked

I tried using ai, but it didn't help ```csharp
using UnityEngine;

public class ClickableNextImage : MonoBehaviour
{
// Update is called once per frame
void Update()
{
// Check if the mouse button is pressed
if (Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0))
{
// Cast a ray from the mouse position into the scene
Ray ray = Camera.main.ScreenPointToRay(Input.mousePosition);
RaycastHit2D hit = Physics2D.Raycast(ray.origin, ray.direction);

        // Check if the ray hits the object named 'nextImage'
        if (hit.collider != null && hit.collider.gameObject.name == "NextImage")
        {
            // Handle the click event
            OnNextImageClick();
        }
    }
}

void OnNextImageClick()
{
    // This method will be called when the 'nextImage' is clicked
    Debug.Log("Next image clicked!");
    // You can put any code here that you want to execute when the 'nextImage' is clicked
}

}

I am very confused, and I would really apreciate some help

(I put the script inside of the 'NextImage' object)

[ruby python]

Are your 'clickables' images or buttons?

[spice ravine]

they are just normal images

[languid spire]

https://learn.unity.com/tutorial/ui-components

[ruby python]

Okay, Make them buttons (it's far simpler and easier), remove all the raycasting stuff from your code (you don't need it if you use buttons)

[spice ravine]

can I add a component to define them as buttons?

is there any vcs here?

[gaunt ice]

then add an button, other components cant be turned into a button

[ruby python]

Yes you can add a button component

But it is a lot simpler to just create a new button if honest.

[whole idol]

yo guys why are these clone objects spawning in the middle of the screen instead of copying the position of their prototype original object position which they are cloning after?

[spice ravine]

Thank you!, now, is there any VCs here? because I feel like talking is much easier then texting

[whole idol]

thats the most idiotic thing ive ever seen in my life

[ruby python]

I don't believe so. Go make all your buttons and come back. Happy to help 🙂

[spice ravine]

did it

Thank you so much for the help so far

[ruby python]

No probs. Okay, I'm going to assume you haven't done any of what I'm about to say. 🙂

Create a new empty GameObject in your game Hierarchy (reset it's transform) and add your ClickableNextImage to it.

ClickableNextImage script I meant

[spice ravine]

can we dm call?, I am getting uncomftarbal that I can't vitualize it, if no, please tell me strait ahead

[ruby python]

I can't talk at the moment (literally, got a cold and no voice. :-/) Give me a moment though.

[spice ravine]

Kk

[whole idol]

Why are these clone objects spawning in the middle of the screen? They are cloning after an object that is standing outside the camera!!!

(video incoming)

and...... im talking about these shenanigans

( video still loading )

( almost there )

^ this is the video im talking about

[static bay]

    }

}

I try to add xyz but throws an error after I try to create positio

wtf

[young warren]

please read the Instantiate documentation to learn how you can set the position of the object you instantiate

you'll also learn how you can get a reference to the object you just spawned

[static bay]

Instantiate returns the object it creates. You can use modify the position that way right after it's spawned.

Instantiate also has an overload that accepts a position and rotation.

[ruby python]

Just DM'd you 🙂

[static bay]

So you can do Instantiate(prefab, position, Quaternion.Identity) if you want it to spawn at a specified position with an upright rotation.

[whole idol]

I try to stick a script on them right after these clones get spawned but this apparently is as useful as a screen door on a submarine

[static bay]

Well first off, this is never called.

[ruby python]

Not really sure why you're doing that tbh, why not just have the script on the Prefab?

[static bay]

Secondly, you're targeting the prefab, not the spawned instance.

[whole idol]

ok good point

[static bay]

Thirdly, why not just have that script on the prefab to start with?

[ruby python]

Also, when you instantiate, you should be doing GameObject newPipePair = Instantiate etc.etc.

[whole idol]

I named my spawned instance the same name as the prefab

[ruby python]

And then if you need to do anything else, do it to newPipePair

[whole idol]

ok will the script also get cloned if I do it that way?

[static bay]

There is no reference to the spawned instance in that script.

[ruby python]

You never name the spawned instance (see my message above)

[static bay]

Whatever is on the prefab will get cloned through Instantiate.

[ruby python]

A prefab is literally a collection of everything that the object needs to function, so if you spawn it, it spawns everything attached to it.

[whole idol]

sounds like I gotta make a new prefab

[ruby python]

You can edit/add/remove things from a prefab, just double click it in your project view.

[queen adder]

this is my image, which contains the following children. How do I, in the script, make Player(1) and it's children not be rendered?

I have tried set active, get component and a few other fixes, furthermore when I toggle the eye icon in hierarchy view in editor, the image has it's rendered turned off only in editor, not in game view? Please help.

i fixed the script inheritance part

but why is this throwing error?

on Vector3

or Vector2 too

[ruby python]

"new Vector3"

Also, you missed the 'f' s after the numbers. You need to tell the code that decimals are explicitly Floats

[whole idol]

good point

[static bay]

doubles are cooler anyway

[ruby python]

lol.

[whole idol]

I think VS is just trolling me at this point

[north kiln]

read the error

[ruby python]

Rotation is a Quaternion, not a float.

[whole idol]

tf is a quaternion?

[north kiln]

It's a complex number that represents a rotation

[whole idol]

or, should i say how do i turn it to 'normal' rotation?

[ruby python]

If you want it to match the rotation of the spawner, just do transform.rotation

[static bay]

Dont worry about it.

[north kiln]

Quaternion.Euler(x, y, z)
Creates a Quaternion out of the angles you'd likely be familiar with

[ruby python]

or if you want no rotation do Quaternion.Identity

[north kiln]

https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/class-Quaternion.html
https://unity.huh.how/quaternions
If you want to learn more

[static bay]

Quaternion.Identity will get you far enough.

[ruby python]

Quaternions are evil though. lol.

[static bay]

Like I get it

something something gimble lock

dont care

[ruby python]

lol.

[static bay]

wtf is a w

[ruby python]

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Exactly this

[north kiln]

You don't need to know to use them properly

[ruby python]

I genuinely believe it's named w because Witchcraft

[static bay]

This is true though. The ability to take a vector, multiply it by a quaternion, and get the vector back rotated by that quaternion is fucking nuts.

[whole idol]

I think its clearly named after Walter White

[ruby python]

Yeah, thankfully the Unity/c# gods put in 'translaters' so you don't have to deal with them directly.

[languid spire]

w is the letter in the alphabet directly before x?

[static bay]

then why is it not listed before X in the constructor? HMMM?

[ruby python]

There you go being all sensible and logical. lol.

[static bay]

Sounds like a conspiracy.

[languid spire]

honestly, legacy. it's the same reason that the a in rgba is at the end

[whole idol]

I love when these things happen

(not)

[static bay]

That one is less bad just because the letters are kinda all over the place. Pretty sure RGB is just related to cone excitation, and a came later from alpha in math.

by the way I changed the GameObject instantiatedObject = Instantiate(PipePair, new Vector3(1.8f, -5, -0.2f), transform.rotation);

There's no funny squiggly line here

[static bay]

Sorry what is your goal?

[whole idol]

I want those pipes to start from all the way out of the screen and slowly creep in like the morning sun, not just appear in the middle of the screen out of nowhere

[static bay]

The pipes have a script to move left I assume?

[whole idol]

they gotta come in the scene slowly every time

[static bay]

The player themselves stays still?

[whole idol]

yes

don't worry about the player

[static bay]

Sure

So why do you think the pipes are spawning in the center of the screen?

[whole idol]

will get that fixed later, anyway here's the move left script

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

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

    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update()
    {
        transform.Translate(Vector2.left* Time.deltaTime * 10);
    }
}

[whole idol]

    void SpawnItem()
    {
        GameObject instantiatedObject = Instantiate(PipePair, new Vector3(1.8f, -5, -0.2f), transform.rotation);


    }

I think this has no effect probably

[static bay]

No this is working fine.

You have 2 problems.

1. Your pipes are not spawning in the correct location.

2. Your pipes are not moving to the left.

Right?

[dire tartan]

im making a fps character and when the player looks around sometimes the camera will freeze for a second then jolt forward im not sure what it is thats wrong ive stripped my character to just its movement and camera and im still having the issue heres the code for the camera https://hatebin.com/lfrwwqckna i can provide more info if needed

[hollow slate]

you're saying "jolt forward", meaning it only affects it when you're moving with the player? It has nothing to do with the rotation?

[dire tartan]

i dont know how to describe it exactly but it feels like when spinning it skips forwards

it happens when not moving

too

[hollow slate]

so it has to do with rotation?

[dire tartan]

i think so

[hollow slate]

it could have to do with variable framerate affecting the sensitivity because of multiplication with Time.deltaTime

You could Debug.Log the deltaTime and see if the jolt corresponds to frame-drops.

or just remove the multiplication with Time.deltaTime and see if the jolting stops.

[dire tartan]

that seems to have fixed it

thanks!

[spice ravine]

I am making a python game, only with inputs and prints, and I wanted to make it visual, here is the py code

This game is a RPG with multiple creatures, a market with items, a armory with swords and armor, and 2 secret creatures, one gives you an ending.
you can chose to play hard and normal mode too

[hot lily]

{
    while (context.performed)
    {
        Debug.Log("Flying " + context.phase);
        
    }
}```
is "while" somehow not allowed in unity input system? i used it then it straight up just froze lul

yeah it just fucking died

[willow scroll]

Well, yeah, that's an infinite while loop

Of course it died

[hot lily]

so what now i must put that in a fixed update or something?

if i intend it to be "as long as the fly button is held it will fly forever"

[willow scroll]

Well, no? Just don't use the while loop

[hot lily]

if I do it will just only do one hop and that's it

it doesn't fly infinitely

[willow scroll]

The Fly method will be called if it's subscribed to the action

Just remove the while

[hot lily]

i replaced the while with an if
(since it is a "hold" interaction)

but now it does only one hop again, fml

[willow scroll]

This action is subscribed on performed, right?

[hot lily]

yeah

[willow scroll]

There is thus no need for the if (context.performed), as it will always return true if the method is called on performed

[hot lily]

brain not computing
would it not trigger while it's cancelled/started if I don't specify if (context.performed)?

[willow scroll]

If the method is subscribed to the action when the action performed, there's no need to check if it's performed, as it will always be true

[hot lily]

ah i see

[willow scroll]

The same as there is no need to check for started or canceled when called on started or canceled respectively

[willow scroll]

Performed is called once when the button is pressed, so it will hop just once.
If you want it to fly continuously, you'll have to use started.

[hot lily]

wasn't it started -> performed -> cancelled?

[willow scroll]

I see, yes, I am sorry, I messed up

• started is called when the input starts
• canceled is called when the input ends
• performed is called when the input is in the process and the value is changed

So subscribing a method to your action in performed will call the method continuously

If your method isn't called continuously, your action type might be a Button

[hot lily]

i'm in a bit of a loss
i have playerInputActions.MechControl.Jump.performed += Jump; in awake, which is a button interaction
but in public void Jump where i didn't specify it needs to be context.performed it triggers thrice (hence jumped three times simultaneously)

but in the same time i also have playerInputActions.MechControl.Fly.performed += Fly in awake, but this one responded correctly (only triggers once)

im running into issues creating dictionaries. I was working on an inventory system and was trying to use dictionaries. After looking up online, I found an example and just copied and pasted it as it was in the working online resource but I get an immediate error saying openWith.Add(); doesnt exist in current context. also for some reason using namespace std doesnt work either since during my debugging I decided to add that just in case (its system.generic anyway according to the resource so it shouldnt have mattered anyway), but Im thinking something internally might have messed it up. Because im using ScriptableObjects, I have inherited on other files as ItemDefinition instead of MonoBehaviour, and I was thinking that might be it, but not sure. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.collections.generic.dictionary-2?view=net-8.0#definition

[willow scroll]

What is the action's type?

[hot lily]

nvm trying again

[gaunt ice]

using namespace std....

[north kiln]

Unity's version of C# does not support file-scoped namespaces. You also cannot call non-static methods outside of a method.

[willow scroll]

If it's a Button, you won't be able to continuously detect the value change

[hot lily]

i changed it to value now

but i'm sure i did something wrong since it's still not continuously going up

[rocky vortex]

ty!

[willow scroll]

File-scoped namespaces are just available from the 10.0th version of C#, which is at least 6.0th version of .NET and not yet supported by Unity

[willow scroll]

So it was a Button before? Could I see your action and how it's subscribed?

[willow scroll]

Well, it's a Button

[hot lily]

it was a button, but switching to value didn't change anything either

[willow scroll]

It must change it

Have you saved it?

[hot lily]

yes

[willow scroll]

And Fly method is called just once?

[hot lily]

yeah

i didn't call it in fixed update or sth

[willow scroll]

Are you sure the value is being changed?

If it's not, the performed will be called just once

So if the value is (1, 0) -> (1, 0) -> (1, 0) -> (0, 0), the performed is called twice

[hot lily]

i'm not sure if i understand

besides even if that's true, that's being called twice rather than being called continuously

if i am understanding correctly that is

[willow scroll]

The performed is called in Update, assuming the value was changed

private void Update()
{
    if (value != _prevValue)
    {
        Fly();
        _prevValue = value;
    }
}

[gaunt ice]

why not just Fly() right after it is assigned

[willow scroll]

What do you mean?

[hot lily]

i probably should just put a boolean isFlying = true while it is performed then isFlying = false while cancelled or sth

then put an if argument in a fixedUpdate where if isFlying is true then it flies

[gaunt ice]

mb, didnt realize it is new input system

[hot lily]

this is frustrating
for some reason jump doesn't need playerInputActions.MechControl.Jump.performed += Jump; to function
but flying does, would straight up not respond without it

even if both are now button with no state check

Anyone know why gravity doesn't work? 🤔

[thorn tapir]

hi guys i litterally started coding an hour ago could someone help me with these simple codes? I only want it to move once but once i press any of these it just dosent stop going to the directions.

[rich egret]

Bro you made it only move with the W key, change the keys as you want

[young warren]

https://unity.huh.how/runtime-exceptions/nullreferenceexception

[modest dust]

Besides all key checks being the W key, you do not reset the velocity when no key is being pressed.

[languid spire]

why would it stop, you set velocity, try adding force

[ruby python]

Hey all,

I can't seem to figure this out, would anyone be able to point me in the right direction as to why my 'waveSpawnInterval' WaitForSeconds isn't delaying the next wave in my spawner please?

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

At the moment, the next wave of enemies spawn as soon as the 'previous' wave has completed doing it's thing. At the minute, the waveSpawnInterval is set to 10 for testing. 😕

[languid spire]

have you still not learned how to add Debug.Logs' to your code to see what it is doing?

[ruby python]

Yeah I have done, but it wasn't any help, it's like it's ignoring the yield. 😕

[modest dust]

Show your entire code, not just that fragment

Hi, I tried to do gravity, but for some reason it doesn't work, I think it has to do with being grounded or something...

[willow scroll]

You're right that the code you've shared is simple. If you're really coding for an hour, please, consider using tutorials e.g. !learn

[sly mountain]

well i dont know why but it works now

[thorn tapir]

thanks alot! i will totally use that

[willow scroll]

Coding stuff without understanding what you're doing doesn't really make too much sense, it is therefore much better to use tutorials. Good luck!

[sly mountain]

anyway i have a seperate question now. I have a particle system attached to my slider bar and I want the particles to stay at the end of it and fade when it reaches the end and resets, but right now it does this:

How can I

1. make the particles stay at the end
2. make the particles show up instantly when clicking again

[snow girder]

for the second one can't you just instantiate the particle system again

anyways i just came here to ask my own question

i've got a blend tree and i want to set the x and y values of my 2d free form movement blend tree to inputgetaxisraw horizontal and vertical

how could i do this smoothly

[willow scroll]

The particles are attached to the end of your scrollbar. Consider not moving your scrollbar at the start?

[sly mountain]

Not moving it at the start? What do you mean by that sorry?

[willow scroll]

So smoothly moving the object using horizontal and vertical input axes? Just set it in the Update and don't forget to multiply by Time.deltaTime

[snow girder]

nonono

i have a whole rigidbody system already

but i have a model that needs animations

and im using the blendtree technology

to do it

[willow scroll]

I mean, fix your scrollbar at the end at the end of the movement.

[sly mountain]

oh like dont make it reset

alright ill try that

[willow scroll]

I see, I'm sorry, I haven't used blend trees before, so I cannot help you out

[willow scroll]

Yes

[snow girder]

well it's not really a blendtree issue im having

[lethal bolt]

Does it make an big diffrence if i use the normal 3d and the tutorial is made in URP?

[snow girder]

im having a code issue

[willow scroll]

If so, I have answered you already in my first response

If that's an object, which position is to be set, consider doing it in the Update

[sly mountain]

oh ok yeah that works, but i still do have the problem of the particles not showing when i click again

[snow girder]

pretend there's a slider and i want to smoothly set it to my getaxisraw value, how would i do it

i don't want to move an object

i want to set a slider

[willow scroll]

Do you know what GetAxisRaw value is?

[snow girder]

yeah its the value of a certain axis right?

a and d is 1 and -1 right?

[willow scroll]

Yes. GetAxisRaw returns -1, 1 or 0 for Left, Right and no key pressed respectively.
How do you plan on smoothly seeting the slider to this value?

Do you perhaps want to smoothly move the slider's value in the input direction?

[snow girder]

yeah like if i press a the slider should smootly move from 0 to -1

[willow scroll]

I see, as I have mentioned before, consider using the Update method

The same way as setting the object's position

[snow girder]

so if i get this right
slider.value = input.getaxisraw(Horizontal) * time.deltatime?

[willow scroll]

float inputDir = Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal");

_slider.value += inputDir * sliderSpeed * Time.deltaTime;

[willow scroll]

Yes

Oh, no

Not with the =, use += instead

[snow girder]

alr im gonna try

[snow girder]

wait wait wait hold on

input dir is the horizontal axis

and assuming the horizontal axis is 1

wouldn't the slider just straight up go to 1 without any smoothing?

[willow scroll]

Assuming the inputDir is 1, the slider's value will be increased by 1 * sliderSpeed in 1 second.

[snow girder]

that is not what my goal is

i want it to increase to 1 in some amount

[willow scroll]

Assuming the sliderSpeed is .1, it will take the slider 10 seconds to go from 0 to 1

[snow girder]

interesting

[sly mountain]

Does anyone know the reason for the particles not working after the first click for a while?

[willow scroll]

Dividing the result by 100 will make you able to assign the sliderSpeed to the precise amount of seconds for the slider's value to be changed from 0 to 1

[snow girder]

well theres an issue

for simplification i have set it to change the value of a float

and the value is not changing

[willow scroll]

What does it mean?

[snow girder]

that is what i have done

[snow girder]

what does what mean

[willow scroll]

This line of code changes the slider's value from 0 to 1 in 10 seconds when the D key is pressed, assuming the animatory is the property assigning the slider.value to value

[snow girder]

oh wait

used the wrong axis 🤦‍♂️

[willow scroll]

No, you haven't

If you have assigned animatory to slider.value, it won't work

[snow girder]

no i did

the float works

but there's an another issue

there's no cap to it

and that it won't return back to 0

[willow scroll]

What do you mean it works?

What is animatory?

[snow girder]

okay so basically its a float i have used to control the slider value

[languid spire]

why, apart from what is obviously not your code, do I see no attempts to debug in your code?

[willow scroll]

Is it a property?

[snow girder]

im just using a slider example since you haven't used blend trees

[snow girder]

what do you mean by that

sorry i don't know what property means

[willow scroll]

Please, show the animatory

[willow scroll]

Does changing the animatory change the slider's value?

[snow girder]

yes

[willow scroll]

Alright, got it, you assign it in the Update

[snow girder]

yes

[snow girder]

your thing works but it doesn't go back to 0 when i let go

[willow scroll]

Why should it go back to 0 when you let go?

[snow girder]

isn't horizontal axis 0 when there's no key pressed?

[willow scroll]

Yes

[snow girder]

that's why it should go back to zero

[willow scroll]

It's not usually how the sliders work, but let's suppose you have a special one

[snow girder]

what?

interesting

alright wait let me tell you my reasoning behind this

[willow scroll]

Interesting? I said that sliders don't go back to 0 when no key is being pressed

[willow scroll]

Yeah, tell me

[snow girder]

well we gotta make one that does

[snow girder]

this slider is being used to control the animation my player is currently using

the animatorx. if it is 0 then the player will idle, if it is 1 then he will walk left

and same for the animator y

if it's 1 he will walk forward

-1 he will walk backwards

so it is crucial it goes back to 0

if it doesn't then the player will keep walking regardless of no keys being pressed

[willow scroll]

Is it supposed to smoothly go back to 0?

[snow girder]

yep

[eternal whale]

yeah i want to configure that, the image is from a video i don't have that

[snow girder]

Input.GetAxis smoothing sucks

but i guess i could use it as a last resort

[willow scroll]

Sure it does

You'll have to calculate the distance, that's the best way on my opinion

[snow girder]

are youbeing sarcastic?

[willow scroll]

No, it's not sarcasm. You should normalize the axis gotten

[snow girder]

well it really does cause when i press A it smooths to -1 and then if i were to press D fast enough it snaps to 0

then it smooths to 1

[willow scroll]

Alright, let's return back to setting the slider's value to 0 when no key is pressed

what is your slider's range?

is 0 its start?

[snow girder]

well the x value can go as less as -1 and max to 1

the y however

-1 and 2

since there is running involved

[willow scroll]

Oh, alright, so 0 is the middle of your slider?

[snow girder]

yes

[snow girder]

i've tried lerping before

but it would do some weird stuff when it tried to go back to zero

somehow even going to a value called E?

sorry brb my mom calling me down

[teal viper]

E is just a part of the scientific number notation(used to represent small numbers usually). It doesn't mean that there's an issue with it, as most numbers can be represented like that.

Can't understand that error message. They should really stop translating them to other languages...😅

[snow girder]

but it shouldn't be E it should be 0...

[teal viper]

It probably means that it's very close to 0. Don't know the context, just saying.

[snow girder]

yeah but the thing is it's suppose to go to zero but gets stuck at E

[teal viper]

Share the relevant code.

Why do you think it's supposed to go to 0?

[snow girder]

well uh

it's long gone now

but basically the whole thing i was trying to do is make a slider follow the horizontal axis

and smoothly go to the value

[snow girder]

do you have any other way that could work

instead of lerping it like i did

[teal viper]

When you lerp incorrectly it would often result in a number with E.

[snow girder]

so you're telling me i did it incorrectly?

[teal viper]

Because you never actually reach the target value.

[ivory bobcat]

Everything following the E would be the exponent so if you're operating with floats, the value could be some arbitrary small number (negative exponent) - zero is near impossible to acquire unless working with constants or assigned directly.

[teal viper]

Most likely. I didn't see the code, but it sounds like it

[snow girder]

how about i recreate it and send it?

[teal viper]

Sure

[soft kernel]

if you use the lerp as moveToward (by giving it constant value) it will get closer and closer but won't reach the value

maybe that was what you did

why not use moveTowards instead?

[snow girder]

sorry what is movetoawrds

[soft kernel]

if you give lerp a constant value it wont work right

the value of the lerp usualy must change

[teal viper]

Yes, that's incorrect lerping

[soft kernel]

use MoveToward instead

[snow girder]

sure

[soft kernel]

it moves value a to value b with the t speed

lerp is more complex

[languid spire]

those statements are pointless as you do not capture the return value

[snow girder]

uh what sorry

[ivory bobcat]

I don't think that does anything as Lerp is supposed to return a value that you'd assign to some variable.

[languid spire]

you pass values INTO the Lerp but you do not get the Lerped value back. Try reading the documentation

[ivory bobcat]

Neither does that

[snow girder]

this is getting a bit overwhelming

[soft kernel]

animatory = ...

[snow girder]

oh wait

my bad

hold on

[languid spire]

no, lerp is start, end not current, end

[soft kernel]

and blendspeed must be * Time.deltaTime

[soft kernel]

thats why I said use moveTowards and not lerp

[ivory bobcat]

Example:cs speed = Mathf.Lerp(original, target, progress);

[soft kernel]

why lerp?

[snow girder]

okay so

the x value works correcty

but the y value doesn't

nvm it does

i forgot to save

[snow girder]

okay movetowards works

thank you very much

sorry for bothering all of you

im not even joking this literally gave me a headache all night

[sly mountain]

TMP_Text requires the TMPro; using statement

[spare umbra]

Gun?

[sly mountain]

ohohh

thanx

[rocky canyon]

well thats why... ur IDE is telling u that class doesn't exist .. so its impossible to grab it from any game object

[languid spire]

then you are not doing it correctly or fully

[spare umbra]

@lethal bolt the stick is just showing us where the ball is going towards

[lethal bolt]

OH

[spare umbra]

it's only weird when changing directions

[languid spire]

It's quite simple really, if you were doing it correctly and fully it would work therefore. qed, you are not

nothing other than follow the steps shown

[rocky canyon]

theres not an alternative.. we'd just suggest going back and trying it again. each and every step

[lethal bolt]

But the UnitMovement is an script.

[rocky canyon]

when its successfully setup where it says Miscellaneous Files will say Assembly-CSharp

[rocky canyon]

is the class name also UnitMovement ?

[ivory bobcat]

But you said you did not have a class called UnitMovement though? #💻┃code-beginner message

[rocky canyon]

public class UnitMovement : MonoBehaviour {

[lethal bolt]

This is the script

And it dosent Say "UnitMovement" before MonoBehaviour

[rocky canyon]

well thats why.. ur class name should probably match ur scripts filename..

[languid spire]

then how do you expect to reference something called UnitMovement?

[ivory bobcat]

unit.GetComponent<Script>()

[rocky canyon]

^ thats what you'd need for ur current circumstance

b.c u named the class Script

[lethal bolt]

Oh

I see

[queen adder]

guys how to detect click in text mesh pro using c#

[lethal bolt]

Thanks!

[ivory bobcat]

It'll provide immediate satisfaction but the actual solution would be to change the class name to something relevant.

[queen adder]

i want to create a property system in my wild west game if a user clicks on the purchase button he should get the property

[rocky canyon]

i agree, its much easier to see ur filename MyScript.cs and know that the class is named MyScript w/o having to open it up and look

[queen adder]

this bool should change to PropertyOwned=true

and the property should unlock

[lethal bolt]

I changed it to UnitMovement insted of script

[willow scroll]

I am sorry, urgent stuff happened so I couldn't continue sending the solution I wanted.
You should calculate the offset between the current and desired positions.
I am writing from the phone, so I hope there are no miscalculations. Slider's value is smoothly moved to 0 when no key is being held.

float inputDir = Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal");

float offset = slider.minValue + (slider.maxValue - slider.minValue) * .5f * (inputDir + 1) - slider.value;

slider.value += MathF.Sign(offset) * speed * 100f * Time.deltaTime;

[earnest atlas]

You can hold the proprieties in some singleton static class and access them from the button script.

If you want these to change something dynamically in player you can use delegates that you call on changing that variable linked to function inside other scripts.

[queen adder]

im new don't know the meaning of any of these singletons ,delegates

[earnest atlas]

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/programming-guide/delegates/

Google singleton implementation

[rocky canyon]

singleton is like a gamemanager for example.. only a single instance of it exists.. so its easy to access via anywhere thru-out ur code

[earnest atlas]

You can hold some global variables in it to pass to next scenes, quite convinient

[rocky canyon]

https://gamedevbeginner.com/singletons-in-unity-the-right-way/ a good beginner source to familiarize

both are worth learning.. singleton more than delegates for now

[earnest atlas]

yeah delegates can be left for later.

[queen adder]

so meaning it can't be typed twice ? like int x; x=2;

[earnest atlas]

It means only one instance of it exists ever.

[rocky canyon]

well there wont be two versions of it anywher

like u could have an enemy class and spawn it 10 times. (each version is its own instance)

a singleton would only ever exist once.. and a singleton is more of the entire class..

a static variable is similar

[earnest atlas]

Well in unity its a static instance inside the class.

So singleton is mostly about class

[ivory bobcat]

Add a collider and either poll using raycast, use the OnMouseOver callback https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/MonoBehaviour.OnMouseOver.html or use the pointer click callback https://docs.unity3d.com/2019.1/Documentation/ScriptReference/UI.Button.OnPointerClick.html

[raw aspen]

any idea how i can set this to read/write enabled true?

[queen adder]

btw do scripts run in the background if the object is cull my game is open world and it will have probably 100+ scripts

[earnest atlas]

if object is gone it wont run any scripts.

[rocky canyon]

in the import settings iirc

[queen adder]

collider on button ?

[earnest atlas]

beware that if you link any functions (new unity input system per example) you will have to unlink them on destruct.

[raw aspen]

how do i get to this screen?

[rocky canyon]

selecting the FBX in the project panel

[raw aspen]

found it

i was looking at the mesh

[ivory bobcat]

If it's a button just use the button event system from the inspector. I had thought you were using some of the other tmpro ui object (text and whatnot)

[raw aspen]

ty @rocky canyon

so i built my game and although it runs 150+ fps (it feels like) in the editor, in the actual build it starts with a lot of framedrops and then it goes to like 5fps and lags out comepletely

i removed all grass and flowers in case that was the culprite

but i still have the issue

the game is very small i dont think it should have issues

[night raptor]

Start by profiling your game properly. That way you can find out what part of the game is slowing it down the most

[unique idol]

Hey, I have little problem - I changed Tile type to custom, extended TileBase and now colliders don't work, like they don't exists.

[raw aspen]

ill watch a tutorial on that

[unique idol]

Okay - next question - I already changed collider type to sprite but it made another problem - game is lagging as hell.
Is there any option to set tile data globally without using tilebase?

[green island]

my player slides too much and if i make the drag higher the player falls to slow im not using colliders for collisions but a script that changes the velocity when on the ground and turning gravety off mybe thats a problem the drag is 1 and in another project the player doesnt slide that much

[forest saddle]

Hello! (I'm new to Unity)

I'm making a game for a school final project and I've been trying to work on this piece of code for a while.

It's a doodle jump style game and I have a box following my character as it moves upwards through the game. I want this box to collide and destroy my platforms once hitting them so that when my character falls down the level it doesn't hit one of the platforms.

[young warren]

so which part are you having trouble with?

[forest saddle]

I've tried lots of different code off of the internet, and none of them are destroying my platforms.

I'm really unsure what I'm supposed to attach my script to really.

[young warren]

have you written any code on your own? any prior programming experience?

you could start by googling "how to detect collision between objects unity"

then go from there

[forest saddle]

The programming experience I have is based around school exams, so sadly it's not very useful to game creation. I've mainly used Python too, so my knowledge of C# has been off of creating this game and a small amount of previous knowledge.

[young warren]

you at least understand variables, data types, functions, if statements and for loops?

[forest saddle]

That's the problem, Ive tried tutorials, forumns etc... and none seen to work.

Let me try another tutorial and copy and paste my code and I can see if you can spot anything wrong with it?

[forest saddle]

Yes I do.

[young warren]

you're not special. code just doesn't stop working for you

it's not working because you probably don't understand what you're doing

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZoZcBgRR9ns

try this one

[forest saddle]

Well yes as I mentioned above I am new to Unity, this is my first project ever on it, and I've been trying to find code related online but are not working and I'm following the steps exactly.

[forest saddle]

Will do, thanks.

[young warren]

and in case you haven't come across this, there's a beginner scripting course from Unity
https://learn.unity.com/project/beginner-gameplay-scripting

and this is a site that will help address most common issues
https://unity.huh.how/

[forest saddle]

Oh awesome, thanks man :)

[young warren]

they're pinned in this channel

good luck

[scarlet skiff]

the 321 Animation UI gameobject has an animation with an animation event, in that event i wanna run a method but the method is in the script on the Game Manager, what is the best way to tell 321 Animation about the script that the Game Manager has?

[pine bone]

Hello, im making a building system but i encountered a problem. How can i make a gameobject only visual and not have any scripts or rigidbodies enabled. Should i create a "enabled" bool value inside every object and disable it when they are placed?

[ivory bobcat]

Maybe have the prefab with disabled components (kinematic for rb)?

[pine bone]

Isnt that the same with disabling it when placed and enabled when the game starts? I want to enable the components back when the game is started

[slender nymph]

or have a separate prefab just for the building visuals where it's just the mesh and the material that probably makes it transparent (since that's common for building mechanics)
then when the building is placed it spawns the real one with the working components on it

[undone harbor]

Do you guys use euler integration for movement? Or is it recommended to go the verlet route?

[ivory bobcat]

Pretty much but without you needing to disable everything after placing

[pine bone]

Okay i will just disable all components when placing and reenable again after starting the game, thanks

[young warren]

@sour yew what's this Setup method you're talking about?

[sour yew]

hey guys. i have this script:

public class ToggleInventoryCanvas : MonoBehaviour
{
    public GameObject inventoryCanvas;
    // Start is called before the first frame update
    void Start()
    {
        inventoryCanvas.SetActive(false);
    }

    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update()
    {
        if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Tab))
        { 
            inventoryCanvas.SetActive(true);
            Debug.Log("AAA");
        }
    }
}```
but when i press TAB, it doesnt make the canvas appear. can smb help me out? thx

[sour yew]

sorry. I meant Start method in this class

[snow girder]

it's fine its fixed

[ivory bobcat]

Does it log AAA?

[wintry quarry]

Is this script ON the inventory canvas?

[sour yew]

if Start method is empty, it does, but nothing happens to canvas. if Start method isnt empty, nothing happens at all

[willow scroll]

Is the script on the inventory canvas?

Can it be disabling itself?

[slender nymph]

are you certain you aren't perhaps ignoring an error in the console?

or if this is still a child of the object being disabled, then of course it won't log anything when tab is pressed because it is still being disabled too

[modest dust]

It does log it if Start is empty because he doesn't disable the object

I think the issue is already resolved in #💻┃unity-talk

[scarlet skiff]

anyone?

[slender nymph]

animation events will only call methods on the same object. so you need a method on that object that will listen for the event and call the relevant method on that other object

[scarlet skiff]

so there is no way around it, i have to give it a script

[slender nymph]

yes because the animation event cannot call a method on a completely separate object

[sour yew]

yep. as i now understand, its indeed disabling itself.

[weary tulip]

Does anyone know what would caused the player to not be able to hit enemies?
I have a Collider on the Enemy, a polygon collider on the sword animation for the player, the polygon collider is a trigger, and the knight enemy is not invincible. What else should I look at?

[willow scroll]

• Either of them should have the Rigidbody
• The OnCollisionEnter or OnTriggerEnter should be used if the object with the script has isTrigger disabled or enabled respectively

[slender nymph]

you've not really provided enough context to actually know what isn't working, but i'm just going to assume you are not getting a physics message like OnCollisionEnter or OnTriggerEnter so go through this: https://unity.huh.how/physics-messages

[weary tulip]

Yes I'm using OnTriggerEnter2D

[weary tulip]

They both do

[slender nymph]

then go through that link

[sour yew]

ok. when the game starts, theres no canvas, when i press TAB, it appears, but when i press the TAB again, it doesnt go away. i was thinking about smth like this:

public class ToggleInventoryCanvas : MonoBehaviour
{
    public GameObject inventoryCanvas;
    public bool isIntentoryCanvasEnabled = false;

    // Start is called before the first frame update
    void Start()
    {
        inventoryCanvas.SetActive(false);
    }

    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update()
    {
        if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Tab))
        {
            isIntentoryCanvasEnabled = !isIntentoryCanvasEnabled;
            inventoryCanvas.SetActive(isIntentoryCanvasEnabled);
            Debug.Log("AAA");
        }
    }
}

it works. TAB enables and disables the canvas. but the last thing im worried about is accessing field var directly. shouldnt i be using setter?

[modest dust]

Why are these fields even public to begin with?

[slender nymph]

the bool isn't necessary at all btw, you can just access the activeSelf property on the inventoryCanvas gameObject

[sour yew]

idk. everyone makes the fields public in unity for some reason. idk why theres no incapsulation in the tutorials haha

[sour yew]

can u explain?

[tough lagoon]

I go back and forth with people on this. But I only recommend using a getter / setter if you need to. I.e. if you need to do something more than a basic set and get. Such as if null, do a findobjectoftype or something. I do not recommend using them if you do not need to.

[slender nymph]

because many poorly thought out tutorials don't know that you can use the SerializeField attribute to expose a non-public field to the inspector

[modest dust]

Tutorials are dumb, if you see something dumb you correct it (unless you watch it till the end and it does have a use, but bad design either way)

[ivory bobcat]

...SetActive(!...activeSelf)

[modest dust]

inventoryCanvas.SetActive( !inventoryCanvas.activeSelf );

[slender nymph]

read the docs for the property i just told you about

[ivory bobcat]

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/GameObject-activeSelf.html

[hot palm]

I use activeInHierarchy to check active state

[ivory bobcat]

Note, the ! (not) prior to active self

[willow scroll]

It's wrong in their case

[sour yew]

so what should i use then? make fields private and use setters/getters? or keep them public but also serialize them?

[slender nymph]

make them private and also serialize them
use properties to expose those private fields to other objects

[rich egret]

        {
            if (Input.GetButtonDown("Jump") && canMove && characterController.isGrounded)
            {
                moveDirection.y = jumpPower;
                Debug.Log("Jumping!");
            }
            else
            {
                moveDirection.y = -gravityForce * Time.deltaTime;
            }
        }
        else
        {
            moveDirection.y -= gravityForce * Time.deltaTime;
        }```

Why doesn't gravity work?

[hot palm]

One returns local, the other the global active state. They didn't specify what they want so I just commented

[willow scroll]

It was specified on the code block shared above. They're enabling the object, so it doesn't make sense to check its activeness in the Hierarchy

[hot palm]

You mean serialized private fields?

[modest dust]

What?
public fields are serialized by default if the type is serializable
Also idk what you'd need setters and getters for here since you probably don't need to access these fields outside of that script

[hot palm]

Oh I just realized what happened lol mb

[willow scroll]

When choosing the access modifier for a field, use

• private if it should just be accessed within the class
• protected if it should also be accessed in the derived classes
• public if it should also be accessed in all the other classes and serialized in the Inspector
• [SerializeField] private if it should be serialized and just accessed within the class
• [SerializeField] protected if it should be serialized and accessed within the class and its derived classes
• [HideInInspector] public if it should be accessed from anywhere, but not serialized

[hot palm]

public fields are serialized by default , no? You would need to do [HideInInspector] to not see it

[modest dust]

public is serialized by default, no need to add [SerializeField]

[willow scroll]

You're right, it was a huge type. Corrected.

[hot palm]

Yeah now it makes sense

[modest dust]

In context of serialization, this would be more appropriate:
https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/NonSerialized.html

[hot palm]

I see

[main karma]

hey so for level design purposes I need to know how much distance my character travels per second. I use a 3D vector and a character controller to move my character and I debugged the vector I used, the max value obtained on 1 axis being 10, now I want to know how to convert this information to actual distance/second and idk how

[hot palm]

Vector.magnitude returns the length of the vector

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Vector3-magnitude.html

[hot lily]

is it better to do everything in a single script whenever possible (such as statuses, cooldowns combined with control script as one), or it is better to do everything separately?

[hot palm]

I like to keep it easy to read and do different behaviour in different scripts. I think it is generally seen as better to do so

[main karma]

ok I understand but how does it translate to distance traveled?

per second I mean

[modest dust]

You basically want to know the velocity, should be easy if you had Physics in school.

[hot palm]

You dont need an inventory system in your character movement for example, it's just 100000 lines of code and noone including you knows what is where at some point

[hot palm]

• Time.fixedDeltaTime

[hot palm]

Depends on how you did your movement. If you move by a vector * speed * Time.fixedDeltaTime, then (vector * speed * Time.fixedDeltaTime).magnitude should return the value per second (correct me if I'm wrong)

[modest dust]

That's per fixed delta time, not per second.

Divide the distance traversed by the time elapsed and you get velocity

[main karma]

yeah but idk how do I measure the distance traversed

[willow scroll]

Well, it's basic math

[modest dust]

I'm not familiar with the Character Controller that comes with unity, but you can just attach a script to your player, save the old position, and get the distance to the new position and divide it by time

[hot palm]

I mean it's kinda the same what you move, if you do _Controller.Move(_Speed * Time.fixedDeltaTime * _MoveVector), with _MoveVector being normalized, then you move "_Speed" units per second

[willow scroll]

If the distance is 10 km and the time is 5 hours, the velocity is, obviously, 10 / 5 = 2 km/h

[weary tulip]

What do you do if you aren't receiving either message? They're both Dynamic body types, they both have rigidbody's, I've verified my OnTriggerEnter2D and OnTriggerExit2D are correct, there's a high likelihood my functions are correctly formatted because they work for the enemy, my Physics 2D is correct and they should only be able to attack the enemy hitbox (I have it set as "PlayerHitbox"), I'm not using a transform.position, and I'm not sure Continuous collision will matter as they aren't moving that fast, and there are no errors.

What else is there, I've looked over most of this stuff and it seems to be all correct?

[main karma]

obviously but I know neither the distance or velocity, only the time

[willow scroll]

What's the time?

[hot palm]

Is one a trigger collider?

[slender nymph]

the link i sent goes through all of the necessary steps

[weary tulip]

They both are

[main karma]

worst part is that my character has acceleration too, so I need to reach maximum velocity before I start to measure the distance

anyways thanks for the help yall, gave me some cool ideas

[modest dust]

private Vector2 m_prevPos;

private void Start()
{
  m_prevPos = transform.position;
}

private void Update()
{
  Vector2 currPos = transform.position;
  float distance = (currPos - m_prevPos).magnitude;
  float velocity = distance / Time.deltaTime; // Now just debug it or whatever
  m_prevPos = currPos;
}```

[hot palm]

I don't think you can have 2 trigger colliders collide

https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/collider-types-interaction.html

[willow scroll]

Well, how do you reach the maximum velocity before measuring the distance, if, in the solution suggested, you cannot calculate it without knowing the distance?

[weary tulip]

Yes, thats why I dont let them collide using Physics 2D

[willow scroll]

You indeed can

[hot palm]

Yeah I send the link in

[weary tulip]

I'm not sure what to do then, as i'm fairly sure everything on the website boxfriend sent is correct

[hollow dawn]

how can I make the texture look high quality? it always comes out blurred like this

[main karma]

ok so let me explain as clear as I can.
My formula goes something like
speed * direction *time. deltaTime - deceleration vector (which is just the vector in the previous frame /5)
I know all these values and can measure them over a period of time. but as far as I know the physics in my game updates 60 times a second, so in the end I have no idea how does all this convert itself to distance

[hot palm]

This is how I set up a controller yesterday. currentSpeed is the units/per second I move (horizontally)

// Check if running
_IsRunning = IA_Controller.FPS.Run.ReadValue<float>() != 0f;

// Calculate the current speed
float currentSpeed = (_IsRunning) ? _Speed * _RunMult : _Speed;
currentSpeed += _SpeedBoostAmount;

// Set the movement Vector
Vector3 moveVector = (_InputVector.x * transform.right + _InputVector.y * transform.forward).normalized;

// Set the gravity Vector
Vector3 gravityVector = transform.up * _YVelocity;

// Move the character controller
_Controller.Move(currentSpeed * Time.fixedDeltaTime * moveVector + gravityVector);

[main karma]

one way to do this is just debug the value itself, wait for it to reach max value, and then just do a checkpoint there, and another one second later, then get the distance between them which is what I'm gonna do

@modest dust thanks for the suggestion

[hot palm]

Works aswell

[willow scroll]

Well, you don't need Time.deltaTime for the velocity

neither do you need the distance nor time in your case

Just multiply the distance with the speed and you get the static velocity

[hot palm]

You need to use Time.fixedDeltaTime if you want stable 60 fps

Also you need to check your fixed timesteps, I think the default is 50fps

[main karma]

I thought that using time.deltaTime would make the character run at the same speed whether I have 60 or 600 fps

from my tests so far that checks out too

[hot palm]

Fixed https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Time-fixedDeltaTime.html

[main karma]

Already did so

[hot palm]

Not fixed https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Time-deltaTime.html

Just the interval in seconds from last to current frame

If you call it in FixedUpdate, it retuns fixedDeltaTime tho

[willow scroll]

Looks great, but you can calculate the moveVector and the currentSpeed is an easier way

Vector3 moveVector = (_InputVector * (transform.right + transform.forward)).normalized;

currentSpeed = _Speed * (_IsRunning ? _RunMult : 1) + _SpeedBoostAmount;

[hot palm]

"deltaTime inside MonoBehaviour.OnGUI is not reliable, because Unity might call it multiple times per frame."

[hot palm]

Thx

[sly mountain]

Hey guys, i have some scrolling set up on my game screen, but i want it to work when my mouse is anywhere, not just over the buttons/gameobjects in my scene.

you can see in the video it scrolls when my mouse is over the gameobjects, but not the background

[hot palm]

Use a parent object with raycast hitbox

[willow scroll]

Using Time.deltaTime or Time.fixedDeltaTime depends on whether you're in the Update or FixedUpdate respectively

[hot palm]

Well apparently Time.deltaTime returns Time.fixedDeltaTime when used in FixedUpdate

[hot palm]

Just learnt that here

[sly mountain]

what does that mean

[hot palm]

UI Elements have raycast padding. Boxes that check if your mouse is in them and behave accordingly. If you want to enable the full screen to drag, you can just put a big UI element such as a panel with transparent color as parent to all other UI elements

[willow scroll]

You're right, I just checked it out and that's really so, I haven't known it a minute ago. Thank you

[hot palm]

Np, me too

[willow scroll]

I thought the Update's deltaTime being returned when using in the FixedUpdate

[hot palm]

Yeah me too

[willow scroll]

So it makes no difference whether to use fixedDeltaTime or deltaTime in the FixedUpdate

[hot palm]

Yep

Only question is when to use Update or FixedUpdate. For movement I do everything in FixedUpdate, for input reading I use Update and if I need to check values every second, I just use an IEnumerator

[willow scroll]

And LateUpdate for the camera movement

[hot palm]

Well yea, only I use cinemachine so I don't code camera movement

It's such a bliss

Free camera behaviour, one of the best packages imo

Works great with POV using a little workaround I came up with

[willow scroll]

I, honestly, hate using Cinemachine. I always love to code everything on my own and doing stuff with Cinemachine just makes it more complicated for me

[charred spoke]

Booh

Cinemachine is life. Cinemachine is love.

[hot palm]

Well I do code some stuff, such as camera speed and changing active virtual cameras

[ivory bobcat]

You'd assign a value to the fixed delta time if you want the occurrence to change - relative to the physics step. Other than that delta time would change per frame accordingly to where it's used (physics and regular frame as far as I'm aware).

[willow scroll]

And a bunch of bugs when used wrong, which is how it's used by me

[hot palm]

Well then use it right xD

[charred spoke]

Everything will produce a bunch of bugs when used wrong that is true

[sly mountain]

I added a raycast component to my empty content gameobject which parents all of my content and buttons but it still doesnt scroll when im not over the buttons

[hot palm]

Try adding a new gameobject UI > Panel

Size it up to fit screen with width and height (probably 1920x1080)

[willow scroll]

Yes, so using them in the FixedUpdate, other than Update, will result in exactly the same behavior

[willow scroll]

Well, you want it to be the raycast target? Then use the Graphic component with raycastTarget enabled

[sly mountain]

thank youuu idk why it worked but it did

[willow scroll]

Because it has Graphic, which the Image on the Panel is derived from

[sly mountain]

oh

Tonks 👍

[hot palm]

btw careful with disabling Imagecomponents, it has a raycast target

[ivory bobcat]

Personally, I'd only use delta time unless I'm needing to read the fixed value of the physics delta time in Update or changing the value of fixed delta time - delta time is read only whereas you can make assignments to fixed delta time.

[hot palm]

Well fixed delta time scales with Time.timescale. So if you want to control stuff with one simple value it's easier to implement

[willow scroll]

Yes, you can only assign the deltaTime with the Application.targetFrameRate

(which still won't give you the desired frame rate when set to 10k)

[ivory bobcat]

Nearly everything scales with time scale (excluding unscaled members) but modifying the fixedDeltaTime property would exclusively change how often the physics step occurs.

[sly mountain]

for some reason i cant actually scroll now...

:(

[hot palm]

It resets for some reason

Try checking the scroll system

[sly mountain]

mmh. Wait i think i may have solved it let me check..

[willow scroll]

What're the settings of the scroll area?

[sly mountain]

yup i had to change the size of scroll area

i didnt realise cause the tutorial i was watching skipped that

[uncut shoal]

I'm using Graphics.DrawMesh to draw the meshes of my chunks, but I want to make it so it doesn't draw the chunks that are outside of the camera, how do I do that?

do I just assume the camera is a square and check if the camera bounds and the chunk bounds intersect or not?

[charred spoke]

What you are after is called frustum culling. There is a utility function to get the planes for a given camera https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/GeometryUtility.CalculateFrustumPlanes.html. You would then do a intersection check with them.

[uncut shoal]

I think that is for 3D?

[charred spoke]

It should work for a ortho cam as well

Then again I have not done 2d so I dont really know

[rich egret]

        {
            if (Input.GetButtonDown("Jump") && canMove && characterController.isGrounded)
            {
                moveDirection.y = jumpPower;
                Debug.Log("Jumping!");
            }
            else if (characterController.isGrounded)
            {
                moveDirection.y = gravityForce * Time.deltaTime;
            }
        }
        else
        {
            moveDirection.y -= gravityForce * Time.deltaTime;
        }```

Anyone know how to do gravity after the character jumps??

[hot palm]

First of all, you can delete the characterController.isGrounded.

[rich egret]

But then it won't let me jump for some reason

[calm hare]

hello i wwant to make some sprites for my game and i dont know which apps to use

[hot palm]

You have 2 grounded checks?

Grounded and characterController.isGrounded

Then you permanentely add gravity, unless you are grounded

[rich egret]

Yes, my mistake, I deleted it

[hot palm]

So that's right

You also have to reset y velocity to 0 if you are grounded, and the y velocity is below 0

[rich egret]

        {
            if (Input.GetButtonDown("Jump") && canMove && characterController.isGrounded)
            {
                moveDirection.y = jumpPower;
                Debug.Log("Jumping!");
            }
            else
            {
                moveDirection.y -= gravityForce * Time.deltaTime;
            }
        }```

[hot palm]

bcs if you set it to 0 when grounded, you couldnt jump lol

[calm hare]

can anyone tell me

any apps to use

[hot palm]

You could use piskel for pixel art

https://www.piskelapp.com
Online and app

[calm hare]

im not planning on making pixel art any time soon

but i will prob use this later

[hot palm]

paint.net then?

[calm hare]

alr thanks il see it

[hot palm]

https://www.getpaint.net

Official page, it's better than MS paint or paint 3D

(unless you want to view 3D stuff)

[rich egret]

@hot palm Something like that?

        {
            if (Input.GetButtonDown("Jump") && canMove)
            {
                moveDirection.y = jumpPower;
                Debug.Log("Jumping!");
            }
            else if (moveDirection.y < 0)
            {
                moveDirection.y = 0f; // Reset Y velocity when going down and grounded
            }
        }
        else
        {
            moveDirection.y -= gravityForce * Time.deltaTime;
        }```

[hot palm]

Nice was going to comment xD

Well why use canMove

Is it for pausing player movement?

Or for checking if he can walk on xz plane?

[rich egret]

Oh, i need it, it's related to animations

[hot palm]

Aight

[rich egret]

No, but ignore it, it doesn't bother you, the log works

[rich egret]

Now there is no gravity at all 🥲

[hot palm]

Is your ground check working properly?

[rich egret]

No because when the game starts the character just floats

[hot palm]

Add gravity outside this if statement and see if it works

Or do you see the moveDirection.y going down or not

You can check debug inspector if it's a private vector3

How my controller works

// Calculate y velocity
if (!_IsGrounded)
{
    // Add negative y velocity
    _YVelocity += _Gravity * Time.fixedDeltaTime;
}
else if (_YVelocity < 0.0f)
{
    // Reset y velocity
    _YVelocity = 0.0f;

    // Reset jumps
    _JumpsAvailable = _MaxJumps;
    _CanJump = true;
}

[rich egret]

I just changed this line:
if (characterController.isGrounded)
to this:
if (Grounded)

Now there is gravity but when I jump, there is no gravity

[hot palm]

How do you check if the controller is grounded?

[rich egret]

{
    float raycastDistance = 0.1f; // Adjust this value based on your game's scale
    return Physics.Raycast(transform.position, -Vector3.up, raycastDistance);
}```

[hot palm]

Hm just copy paste your !code in the player move script to a website here and send the link

I think we're missing something important

[rich egret]

https://gdl.space/ololipatip.cs

[hot palm]

oh god

xD

Aight let me see

Do you understand your code?

[rich egret]

Yup, but except for the part of the jump

[hot palm]

Well firstly please for the love of god use [SerializeField] private and not public

[rich egret]

all the [SerializeField]??

[swift elbow]

whats wrong with public? 😵‍💫

[hot palm]

Just invites you to cook some spaghetti code

[willow scroll]

I don't think there's anything wrong with them using public

[hot palm]

All fields only used in the own class/script should be private

Nuhuh 🗣️

Well you can do what you want

[swift elbow]

you cannot blame the quality of ingredients when a bad chef cooks with them

[hot palm]

But ppl working with you will thank you

[rich egret]

I don't think it matters, I just need the jump code

[hot palm]

Yeah just what I saw

[willow scroll]

Yes, putting [SerializeField] private instead of public won't fix the issue, whatever it is, as I haven't read it yet

[hot palm]

Yeah that not

but probably this

[rich egret]

So for now the code is:

        {
            if (Input.GetButtonDown("Jump") && canMove)
            {
                moveDirection.y = jumpPower;
                Debug.Log("Jumping!");
            }
            else if (moveDirection.y < 0)
            {
                moveDirection.y = 0f; // Reset Y velocity when going down and grounded
            }
        }
        else
        {
            moveDirection.y -= gravityForce * Time.deltaTime;
        }```

The problem is that there is no gravity after the character has jumped and it floats

[hot palm]

use debug logs

see if the code is executed

bcs I don't see any apparent reason it shouldn't

[rich egret]

he does

[hot palm]

 moveDirection.y -= gravityForce * Time.deltaTime;
``` does?

[rich egret]

I get a notification when I jump

[hot palm]

Your problem is no gravity

so check if gravity is changed

[willow scroll]

Well, of course there is no gravity if you don't seem to change the Grounded boolean

[hot palm]

• if y velocity is changed

[rich egret]

Ok, you're right, it's not responding

[hot palm]

True

Bcs you never call the boolean

[rich egret]

There is gravity! But not when I jump

[willow scroll]

Because it's being applied when not grounded

[hot palm]

Just do this before the if statement

isGrounded = Physics.Raycast(transform.position, -Vector3.up, raycastDistance);

You never call IsGrounded(), do you?

[willow scroll]

Where's the mask?

[hot palm]

This is a function he uses

[hot palm]

This is his code

[undone harbor]

    {
        RaycastHit hit;
        if (Physics.Raycast(transform.position, -transform.up, out hit, 1f))
        {
            return true;
        }
        else
        {
            
            return false;
        }
    }
}```

Does this look correct?

I am not sure why this return false

[hot palm]

If the transform.position is higher than 1 above the ground, it never collides with it

[undone harbor]

transform's y is 0 btw

[willow scroll]

Does the code provided refer to your own issue?

[hot palm]

Local or World?

[undone harbor]

world

[hot palm]

Well just do it in one line

_IsGrounded = Physics.SphereCast(transform.position, _GroundCheckRadius, -transform.up, out RaycastHit _, _GroundCheckRange);

This is what I use

[undone harbor]

Gotcha, let me try this

[willow scroll]

It's going to return false if the Player doesn't have the Collider and the distance from its center to the ground is smaller than 1

[undone harbor]

yeah

[rich egret]

    {
        return Physics.Raycast(transform.position, -Vector3.up, raycastDistance);
    }

    private void Update()
    {
        Grounded = IsGrounded();

        if (Grounded)
        {
            if (Input.GetButtonDown("Jump") && canMove)
            {
                moveDirection.y = jumpPower;
                Debug.Log("Jumping!");
            }
            else if (moveDirection.y < 0)
            {
                moveDirection.y = 0f; // Reset Y velocity when going down and grounded
            }
        }
        else
        {
            moveDirection.y -= gravityForce * Time.deltaTime;
            Debug.Log("Hmmmm");
        }
    }```

something like that?

[hot palm]

Yeah

[willow scroll]

No

Don't forget to use the layer mask!

[rich egret]

yes or no? 😂

[hot palm]

But you can just do it in the line

LayerMask is not necessary if you want to walk on everything

+with a collider

[willow scroll]

It's necessary if your player has a collider

[rich egret]

I didn't forget, and it still doesn't work. No gravity at all.

[willow scroll]

You obviously did

[hot palm]

Depends, if you start below the player it never collides

[undone harbor]

this is also returning false ;-;

[willow scroll]

They start in the middle of the player though.

[hot palm]

Try playing around with the values

[hot palm]

This line yes

[languid spire]

you need to learn how to debug, you have 2 unlogged paths in that code

[hot palm]

Just talking about in general

[willow scroll]

The code they provided works. You should provide more details about how you're using it

[vagrant fjord]

i have a bullet script and even though i am trying to make it dissapear when colliding with an object it just phases through. ill link code here: https://gdl.space/tuqulugoqu.cs

[rich egret]

The answer from the logs:
Is Grounded: False

Because there is no gravity

[willow scroll]

Because the Bullet is a trigger

[vocal marlin]

You should do an OnTriggerEnter instead of OnCollision

[hot palm]

Start at the bottom then

[vagrant fjord]

ok ill try

[rich egret]

But I started from the bottom 💀

[hot palm]

It does not return true when grounded then?

[undone harbor]

Okay, so y value = 0, Its false
But for any y just a bit greater (0.00001), Its true

[hot palm]

then do 0.2f or something

[willow scroll]

What value are you talking about?

[rich egret]

No, simply when the game starts the character floats

So obviously there will be no ground

[undone harbor]

The transforms y position

The players transform

which is at y = 0, initially

[willow scroll]

What is the radius?

[undone harbor]

0.3f

[willow scroll]

And what are you trying to detect?

[undone harbor]

Just a plane with meshCollider

[spice ravine]

can someone who is quite good with unity dm me? please tell me if that's against the rules to ask

[vagrant fjord]

set both colliders to is trigger and still doesnt work https://gdl.space/zelodexawa.cs

[vocal marlin]

Only one should be a trigger

[rich adder]

not exactly against rules but doubtful anyone will take such a commitment
you're better off stating your issue and someone may help if they know how

[vagrant fjord]

i tried that aswell

[spice ravine]

Kk

you can cntrl+ f and search for my name

[graceful lintel]

does one of em have a rigid body?

[vagrant fjord]

no

im using box collider]

[vocal marlin]

neither?

[spice ravine]

I tried getting help in this chat in the past

[graceful lintel]

there you go. you need atleast 1 to have a rigidbody component for collision to be possible

[vagrant fjord]

ok ill try that

[spice ravine]

is there is post area for 'help' here?

[hot palm]

Okay solution: Dont subtract gravity (-9.81f) from your y velocity 😂

[graceful lintel]

I mean just about everyhere where depends if it's code or graphics-wise

[spice ravine]

it's code wize

[graceful lintel]

just lay it here my guy

if I dont reply means I have no clue

[hot palm]

https://dontasktoask.com

[vagrant fjord]

still doesnt work do i have to use gravity

[hot palm]

I think you are better off reading into unity documentation

[hot palm]

https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/collider-types-interaction.html

[rich egret]

@hot palm 👑

[spice ravine]

Thank you!

[queen adder]

how can i stop these from spawning under the main camera?

[hot palm]

I'd say overthink why they're spawning there to begin with. You can tell them to spawn between 2 specific heights

[spice ravine]

I spent the last 15 hours working on a project, and I know the basics now, but I have several issues,
I would love if someone would take some time to Help me figure up the solution for thsi code (I made the base, then put it serveral times in chat gpt (I started learning Unity TODAY.))

sorry for the chunk of text

if someone is willing to help me, here is the code

[rich adder]

you keep saying I need help but not explained the actual problem.

[hot palm]

Something like

private float _spawnAtX = 20f;
private float _maxHeight = 10f;
private float _minHeight = -10f;
yourGameObject.transform.position = new Vector2(_spawnAtX, Random.Range(_minHeight, _maxHeight));

[hot palm]

First of all I would recommend making a new script for each class

[trail chasm]

hello i made a renderer place him behind the button in my canvas but the game still think he is infront of and i cant click the button any idea why?

[hot palm]

Order in hierarchy is important

Parent

• Background
• Button
  You would want it like this

[trail chasm]

it

[hot palm]

Yeh wrong order

[trail chasm]

oh thanks

[hot palm]

It may work after that

may not

There are multiple reasons it couldn't work

[spice ravine]

That's the thing, I am VERY new, I tried figuring out the bugs that it throws at me, but there is
no more bugs,

The main problem is that When I click 'Next' after I go into the part when I need to enter 1,2 or 3 to progress
in the creature fight, I can't choose anything

[rich adder]
