[silent dove]

huh? i mean, im assuming its to detect them? if the enemies all have a script then it's similar to finding them with their tag?

[rich adder]

if they're already in the list you don't need to detect them, other way around

(assuming you already dragged them in the inspector to list)

[silent dove]

yeah i did

[rich adder]

ok so enemies need to know about that script containing the list

so they can remove themselves on death

[silent dove]

right, so in the enemy script it needs to find the other script?

[rich adder]

yeah, store it in a variable so it can be done only once in awake

[silent dove]

so on the start or so? and how do i go about storing it in a variable? im not entirely sure what's being stored exactly?

[rich adder]

same way you stored List in a variable?

the script has the list, you have to store the script

thats the type for the var

[rich adder]

https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/VariablesAndTheInspector.html
https://unity.huh.how/references
these might help you

[silent dove]

so wait

i would put

it wouldnt be 'public script' ?

I really just dont get this stuff, I'm just not sure how to actually write this from nothing? im not sure what to really do going with this? idk

[rich adder]

how come you pick making a game ?

[silent dove]

its a project for this class

and the 2nd part of it is to make a continuation of it

[rich adder]

if its a class have you not learned anything at all?

[silent dove]

we've barely gone over a thing when it comes to coding in C#

[rich adder]

making a game is not something you learn overnight

its literally a process

[silent dove]

it's all been just messing with stuff in the engine itself, making particle systems and materials and stuff

[rich adder]

well coding is a whole different beast

[silent dove]

we have barely gone over a thing about code, and i realized at the start of this semester i really dont have what it takes to figure out this stuff

and so thats why im trying to add just a little bit more to this

i just really dont understand most of this stuff and im getting kind of overwhelmed i guess

[rich adder]

maybe start from the very basics and work your way back up instead of jumping into such complex tasks

[silent dove]

i mean, i was going to add a loop because i thought it would seem a bit better, but at this point i dont mind just making a simple win screen?
its just the actual detecting whether or not the enemies are still there that ended up becoming more of an issue

its just that we're already sofar into the class so this stuff is due pretty soon

i've been messing with it for a while now, but decided to try and get a bit of help, since i don't know anybody personally that uses unity either

[rich adder]

i don't see the point of these classes if you're not learning anything

fumbling and guessing your way around wont work in code, you need to be exact

[rich adder]

well it won't as suggested already the method that does return you an Array will only tell you how many current enemies are there, it would never be null in the actual entry

[silent dove]

yeah i wish we did more actual coding stuff, but idk what to do about it now

[rich adder]

you only need to mainly get hang of referencing and using the basic types / functions

[silent dove]

right, so im not sure a way to actually detect that, the array idea wasn't working, but i might've just not been using it right?

i just dont really have much time for this, since i also have other classes to deal with at the same time, and i dont have that much longer before this stuff is due

[rich adder]

nah using an array in the first place was wrong way hence why my suggestion of a list

but yea explaining it will probably just go over your head unless you grab the basics, like how to work with a list (removing and adding entries etc..)

[silent dove]

right, so im not sure how to actually get the list to recognize when the enemies are being destroyed, and then i guess maybe if i can get that, then having an if the list has nothing in it, then it can do that?

[rich adder]

its not that much to do if you break it down into smaller steps. moving onto the next only when you understood what you did the previous one

List is useful because as you Kill off an enemy , you can modify lists to Shrink in this case. this gives you sort of a count down

[naive pawn]

couldn't you use a gameobject as a container for the enemies and when you Destroy them they get removed from the gameobject

[rich adder]

thats the idea..

[naive pawn]

i just got here, mb.

[rich adder]

but the current script that contains list of enemies is in another script and they're confused on why they need refrences to it

[silent dove]

which script would this go into? wouldnt i need to add a way for it to recognize the enemies being destroyed before making a thing for it to shrink?

i see

[rich adder]

You only need 2 Scripts.
lets say the first script is called EnemeyCounter/Manager
another is the Enemy script Itself

[rare basin]

it's not a good practice to use a List<GameObject> unless you really need to

better to have direct references to the Enemy in the list

[naive pawn]

uh what

[rich adder]

well yeah its good practice

if its a Component it already has a .gameObject property and a .transform

[naive pawn]

im confused why that's aimed at me

[rich adder]

dunno lol

[silent dove]

right, i have a script for enemyLooping (with the List and the function to reload the scene)

and then i have the enemyManager right now that's empty currently

[rich adder]

correct, enemyLoop becomes enemyManager because enemyLooping makes no sense

[silent dove]

or well, enemyLoop is the name of the file, uhh

[rich adder]

keep name of file and classes the same or unity will throw a fit

[silent dove]

yeah theyre the same

the class is enemyloop and the file is enemyloop

this is what that one has

and then the enemyManager is empty right now

[rich adder]

yes just needs a public method that it can receive the GameObject enemy to remove

[silent dove]

so it needs a public void? how would i go about having it receive the GameObject enemy?

[rich adder]

well you can pass objects through parameters inside methods

as long as you declare it

[silent dove]

so i would make a public void and call it

idk

enemydetect? or something like that? and it would have a parameter, but how would i get the parameter? im not sure

[rich adder]

you're jumping ahead too much, first declare the method . Do you know how to write a method?

[silent dove]

public void enemydetect()

or something of that sort

[rich adder]

but inside () you declare what type of data this method can receive , in this case can either be GameObject or whatev your enemy script is (since this is what needs to remove from list)

[silent dove]

so just saying GameObject? or would it need to be the actual list itself?

[vagrant fjord]

i have implemented a recoil animation and when i am out of bullets the animation still plays. Can anyone help?

[eternal needle]

yes, dont play the animation when you have no bullets

[vagrant fjord]

how? im very new to unity and dont really know

[eternal needle]

you'll have to share code so we know how you are even playing the animation in the first place

[languid spire]

this has nothing to do with Unity. It's a question of logic.
If (NumberOfBullets > 0) play animation

[vagrant fjord]

https://gdl.space/uzozojaraq.cs

how can i connect the two scripts

[languid spire]

there is no animation in that script

[rare basin]

is this chat gpt code?

[vagrant fjord]

https://gdl.space/guqilulegi.cpp

[vagrant fjord]

yes some of it

[rare basin]

yea i can tell

don't use chat gpt if you are just starting and learning

[vagrant fjord]

so any ideas?

[vagrant fjord]

got it

[rare basin]

do you know basics of c# or/and unity?

if not i'd start with that instead of blidnly copy&pasting chatgpt generated code

without understanding it

[vagrant fjord]

yeah relatively

i tried every tut on the planet and none worked

[eternal needle]

that sounds more like a user error rather than it not working

right now your scripts have no relation. think about it logically, you have logic for when you are able to shoot. the animation should be done from there. Follow this to learn how to reference another script https://unity.huh.how/references
Right now your animation is completely unrelated to the shooting. Both just happen to exist at the same time

[vagrant fjord]

alr ill try that

[eternal needle]

you are already referencing another script also in RecoilScript, which i assume chatgpt wrote for you.

you should cache that value, because you dont need to get it every single time its done. get it once and store it

[rare basin]

lmao

[languid spire]

basically your Shooting script needs to be able to manipulate the canPlayRecoil bool

[rare basin]

is your IDE configured? let's start with that

[vagrant fjord]

yeah it is

[rocky gulch]

weird question but let say i got two of these objects

Class Object1 : MainObject, Interface1 {}
Class Object2 : MainObject, Interface2 {}

what would happen if i did

MainObject a; //(derived from Object1)
public void ChangeObject(MainObject b){
   a = b
}
//(b is derived from Object2)

will the interfaces remain intact
or will everything be replaced

[rare basin]

the object reference a will be replaced with the object reference b, but the interface implementations will remain intact @rocky gulch

[rocky gulch]

alright just what i wanted

thanks (codes still messy i cant test(

[split dragon]

Hi. I have a question: I have a variable by component, let's say light. I want to create a local variable: "GameObject", which will be equal to the light variable, but you cannot assign a GameObject via a component variable. How do I access the object that has this component? An example of what I want:

[languid spire]

Hi = light.gameObject

[split dragon]

Thanks

[spiral narwhal]

    public interface IProgress<T> where T : ScriptableObject
    {
    }

Is there a better way to force implementations to be SOs? Because with this, I don't use T, which gives warnings

[teal viper]

You can really limit what implements an interface afaik.

You could use an abstract SO as a base class though

Instead of an interface

[spiral narwhal]

No, sorry if I phrased it weirdly. Consider this:

    public class BountyHuntGameSubtaskProgress : IProgress<BountyHuntGameSubtask_SO>
    {
        private readonly BountyHuntGameSubtask_SO _referencedSubtask;

        public BountyHuntGameSubtaskProgress(BountyHuntGameSubtask_SO referencedSubtask)
        {
            _referencedSubtask = referencedSubtask;
            Progress = new(referencedSubtask.SpaceshipTypesToHunt);
        }

        public Dictionary<SpaceshipType, int> Progress { get; }

        public BountyHuntGameSubtask_SO GetReference() => _referencedSubtask;
    }

I use the interface as a wrapper class for tracking progress of ScriptableObjects

I managed to circumvent the warning by introducing the generic GetReference() method

    public interface IProgress<out T> where T : ScriptableObject
    {
        public T GetReference();
    }

[teal viper]

Interesting. Didn't know about the generic out params

[eternal needle]

Just a note about this. Since you are using MainObject here as the type, you only have access to variables or methods associated with MainObject, not Object1 or 2. This would mean you wouldnt be able to use stuff from the interface, unless you cast or Object1 or 2 override a method while using the interface as it wants

[tough cave]

public class MovementController : MonoBehaviour
{
    public Rigidbody player;
    public float speed;

    
    public void Move(Vector3 movement)
    {
        player.AddForce(movement * speed);
        
    }

Is addForce not applied on the rigidbody? I'm trying to not let the player walk through walls, tried to fix that cuz i used transform. and i believe tahts the wrong function to use, so now I use Addforce. But now it wont move at all.

[rich adder]

how do you call move

[tough cave]

 void Update()
    {
        float moveHorizontal = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal");
        float moveVertical = Input.GetAxis("Vertical");
        Vector3 movement = new Vector3(moveHorizontal, 0.0f, moveVertical);

        movementController.Move(movement * Time.deltaTime);
    }

[rich adder]

btw rigidbody should be moved in fixedupdate

addforce is using mass, so also there is that

check ur rb settings, how much is ur speed set?

[languid spire]

also you should not be using deltaTime in that scenario

[rich adder]

yea prob holding it back too rn

[tough cave]

I tried seting it between 5 till 5000. no difference yet. I removed deltaTime, and turned the method into FixedUpdate. No movement yet :c
It stopped working after I changed the type of GameObject to Rigidbody since I wanted to use 'AddForce'. Could that be it?

[rich adder]

is rigidbody falling ? can you show rigidbody setting

[rich adder]

kinematic = not affected by forces

[tough cave]

Oh. now it shot me forward yea. But I fall through the ground/plane if thats unchecked.

[rich adder]

probably because collider isTrigger

[languid spire]

yes, your collider is a trigger

did you do any research at all before using this stuff?

[queen adder]

Hello guys, I'm trying to share my project on github. But I realise that when I build my project, I can't see the source codes in the files. So basically whenever I upload it to github, people cannot see what kind of codes I wrote it for the project. Am I missing something? I'm really confused to fix that problem.

[rich adder]

which problem? you uploaded the build

the source code is inside the dlls

if you want to share a git project you need to make a repo from the project folder itself

[queen adder]

How can I do this?

[rich adder]

easiest way using git

proably a GUI

[queen adder]

I'm confused, so you are saying that if someone would try to take a look at this project. They can see the codes that I wrote right?

[rich adder]

any game that has a dll thats part of the code yes, any executable can be pretty much peeked at

most people who can do it probably wont care about your source code lol

[queen adder]

I'm just doing this for portfolio, so I just want other people can see the scripts that I wrote for the project. It's all deal

[rich adder]

if you want the project itself , you would need to commit the project folder where the Asset folder is

if its a portfolio should probably learn the how to make repos

[queen adder]

Ahh all right, so I shouldn't upload the build. I should upload the main folder. Okay it's make in sense now

[queen adder]

All right, I'll check it

[modest quarry]

NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object Player.FixedUpdate () (at Assets/Player.cs:30)

whats this error i only get it once when starting game

then when i start it again it goes

so i cannt build the game cuz ofthis error

[rich adder]

null reference would probably not prevent a build

[modest quarry]

like the game gets build

but doesnt play

[rich adder]

whatever is on line 30 on Player is null

but you're trying to access it

[modest quarry]

oh

[vagrant fjord]

im trying to stop the recoil animation when i have no bullets and its not working

[modest quarry]

so its the input

wait why am i trying to convert it to float

[rich adder]

thats the only thing that can be null yes the others are value types

[modest quarry]

i thought it resuts in -1,0,1

cuz i was using raw before

thats why

[rich adder]

raw still returns a float

[modest quarry]

i removed float still same error

[rich adder]

float aint the error buddy

[modest quarry]

inputManager

[rich adder]

value types are not null

inputManager is null

[modest quarry]

lol

so its cuz i set it in Start right

[rich adder]

assign in awake

[modest quarry]

yeah done

[rich adder]

it still errors ?

[modest quarry]

nope

thanks

[vagrant fjord]

Is anyone available for this?

[modest quarry]

even the build works :D

[rocky gulch]

ah.... well that sucks

[rare basin]

that's what you have when using chat gpt code

[rocky gulch]

well my intention was to just change the variables
so im assuming just list of object1 and object2 then using cast to change the values

[thorn holly]

Is the “Bullets Depleted” thing getting logged?

Wait, this is chat gpt code?

[cosmic dagger]

check and log if canPlayRecoil is false . . .

[thorn holly]

Out of curiosity, why is it that some variables have to be set in Start() or a method and some can be set in a class outside of any methods?

[rare basin]

such as?

[wintry quarry]

The only things you can set in a field initializer are compile time constants

If it's not a compile time constant you can't set it in a field initializer

[slender nymph]

it's not just compile time constants, it is anything that can be accessed within a static context

[wintry quarry]

(or a static member)

🐢

[slender nymph]

unity does have some exceptions to this, for example you cannot access Application.persistentDataPath in a field initializer for . . . some reason (at least not on a scriptable object)

[thorn holly]

The field initializer is the area in a class outside of any methods right?

[tender stag]

why is it not going to the end?

[rare basin]

debug fillAmount

or check the UI anchors

also you can just ues dotween, would be simplier in your case with the OnComplete() method so you can handle the crafting

[tender stag]

the crafting works

its just the bar

[rare basin]

didin't say it doesnt

[tender stag]

it stops at 0.9

[wintry quarry]

A field initializer is when you use = something in the same line as a field declaration

Fields are the class-scoped variables declared inside a class but outside any methods

[thorn holly]

So if I make the field public int m and set it to 10, would it look like this in a field initializer? public int m = 10

I’m confused cause you said I can only set compile time constants in a field initializer, but I didn’t put the const there yet it still works

[slender nymph]

the integer literal 10 is a compile time constant

[thorn holly]

Ohhhh, so I can only set it equal to a compile time constant

[tender stag]

the craft time is 10 seconds

[slender nymph]

well no, you can use anything that can be accessed in a static context inside of a field initializer. this is why you can call an object's constructor in there or access a static field. unity just happens to have a few restrictions of its own for some of its own static properties and methods

[tender stag]

how do i make it fill according to the craft time?

[candid gate]

Does someone know why my raycats wont hit when behind ?

[slender nymph]

you aren't using a layermask so it's possible that you are hitting the player with the linecast (and you only ever print when it hits something other than the object tagged as Player). also you should be using the CompareTag method rather than string equality when checking an object's tag

[thorn holly]

Alright, so last night, I was instantiating a Color in a field initializer, looked something like this:
public Color myColor = new Color(1, 1, 0);, but myColor wouldn’t work unless I set the value in Start(). That’s a unity restriction, right?

[slender nymph]

no, that would work just fine. however it is also serialized so the value assigned in the inspector would be what is used. but assigning inside of Start would overwrite that serialized value

[thorn holly]

Ah, I see, thanks

[candid gate]

i checked and when the camera is below the floor the hit is still player and not Untagged so thats the Linecast fault i guess ?

[pine umbra]

Hi Guys, Do you use GitHub version control (or any other) for your games' data?

[rare basin]

ofc

[pine umbra]

But does it have sense to do that for small projects also?

[polar acorn]

Makes more sense than for big projects honestly. A small project might actually fit in the amount of LFS you get with the free tier

[rare basin]

people divide into 2 groups:

• those who make backup
• those who will be making backup

[pine umbra]

Thank you guys. It's always very usefull to consult suff with more expirienced

[silver dock]

How can i stop the two players from pushing each other by just walking?

[ivory bobcat]

This is the beginner coding channel. If it's not related to code, you might get better suggestions from #💻┃unity-talk

[silver dock]

pretty sure its related to code

[ivory bobcat]

(tbh, it looks like you've forgotten to set the physics matrix to avoid collision between characters)

[ivory bobcat]

Maybe show the relevant code

[silver dock]

Nah i need them to collide, but not push each other away

[undone rampart]

set the player to kinematic when not moving

[languid spire]

If you walk into something which cannot be pushed, like a brick wall, what happens to your velocity?

[ivory bobcat]

We don't know anything about what they're doing.

Other than not wanting the characters to push each other but needing them to collide

[silver dock]

Its simple, at least i think so

1. The players should act as walls to each other, not passing through, not pushing it away
2. but also my "push" feature which i intentionally added should push the players away with a specific key

So basically i want the pushing to only happen when that key is pressed, and other than that it shouldnt normally push them away while just walking like how it is now

i tried setting the mass to very high, but both of them need to be high mass then, which then just makes it pointless, and then i couldnt jump also

[lilac hemlock]

https://gdl.space/filutibaye.cpp

Can someone help me out please. I am trying to make my ship to roll to 90 degrees when the button is pressed. The button is working, but the ship doesn't want to roll to the desired angle.

[languid spire]

if you answer my question you have your solution

[silver dock]

i would answer it if i understood it

but simply im very dumb

[languid spire]

do you not know what velocity is?

[silver dock]

not really

[languid spire]

then you cannot be helped. you need to learn at least some very basic physics

[ivory bobcat]

Maybe show us the logs?

[silver dock]

or maybe you can tell me the answer yourself, and i'll keep gaining knowledge slowly

[lilac hemlock]

This is when I press Q (tilt to the left)

[summer stump]

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Velocity

[rare basin]

or maybe you can just google what is Velocity and gain knowledge this way?

if you want to make physics based operations, then you'd obviously need some basic physics knowledge

[silver dock]

i tried 🤷‍♂️

[silver dock]

yes i read this

[rare basin]

then if you dont understand what is velocity from google

what are the chances you'd understand it from someone else

[ivory bobcat]

Are the logs fine? If so, you ought to be rotating towards the target as long as you're tilting.

[silver dock]

then let me have the answer without the riddle please😢

[rare basin]

there is no riddle lol

[polar acorn]

So what's your best guess as to what velocity is after reading that

[rare basin]

you dont need to understand all the formulas

[silver dock]

speed of objects?

[polar acorn]

Yeah there you go

[languid spire]

good enough, so what is your answer to my question?

[silver dock]

yeah i dont understand how that fixes my game problem

[rare basin]

it doesn't

you just learned what is velocity

[silver dock]

velocity gown down

goes

[languid spire]

goes down to what ?

[silver dock]

zero

[frosty lantern]

hey how exactly do we tell if we have beginner, general, or advanced issues?

[summer stump]

Are YOU a beginner?

[frosty lantern]

Yeah

[lilac hemlock]

it suddenly started to work. idk what happened, but thanks anyway

[languid spire]

exactly, so when your 2 players collide, to stop them pushing set their velocity to zero

[summer stump]

Then go with beginner

[frosty lantern]

fair enough

hey how do i get the console errors to display on multiple lines?

or just all console messages

like the log entry works for more information but long messages still overflow sideways

So I have to maximize the console to see the whole message

[slender nymph]

just click the log and look at the stack trace window at the bottom of the console window

you don't have to make your console even larger just to see that info

[opaque bough]

i have a code that says when i click the "E" button, to set the object to be a child of the camera. it works, but i have to click the "E" key about 500 times for it to do anything what am i doing wrong?

[slender nymph]

sounds like you are using GetKeyDown inside of FixedUpdate

of course you haven't bothered showing code so that is only a guess

[opaque bough]

lemme share the code

[silver dock]

this? tried this in a bunch of ways, no luck

[opaque bough]

code

[frosty lantern]

I didn't even realize it displayed down there

thanks

[lofty sequoia]

can't you use AddForce or something on rigidbodies

[slender nymph]

GetKeyDown is only true for a single frame when you press the key. this isn't necessarily a FixedUpdate/Physics frame. so using that in OnTriggerEnter is not going to work the way you want

[languid spire]

And where did you put that?

[slender nymph]

i recommend looking into using a raycast or physics query to determine whether an object can be picked up instead of relying on physics messages

[opaque bough]

okay, i had it set to Just GetKey before and it did the same thing

[silver dock]

In a OnCollisionEnter2D method

[slender nymph]

because OnTriggerEnter only happens for the first frame that the trigger is entered
#💻┃code-beginner message

[opaque bough]

hm, so how do i make it every frame?

[rare basin]

raycasting, ontriggerstay (yet i dont recommend it tbh)

many possible ways

[slender nymph]

#💻┃code-beginner message

[languid spire]

best bet, make a bool, set to true in Enter and False In Exit. In FixedUpdate check the bool, if true set velocity to zero

[real falcon]

is it possible to just relight one area of the map not the entire scene?

[ivory bobcat]

There really isn't a way to measure but imo if you're simply exploring the language, api or are having difficulties understanding a certain error/unwanted-behavior like syntax errors, null reference exception errors, improper type conversion errors and whatnot.. Unity beginner code should be fine. General coding issues with Unity would be imo more about standard issues like exploring design patterns, generic constraints/limitations, how data should be managed and anything revolving more design and less "help me get started" or "what's wrong with what I've got given X". Where they both overlap would be with reading/tutorial suggestions as the level of complexity these suggestions provide can vary tremendously. As for advance, it's likely for those who want to have discussions on something they've learned elsewhere and how they could integrate/implement these very specific systems with Unity - a difficult, large or tedious task for an individual does not necessarily make it an advance topic. Expect more criticism inside general/advance and hopefully less traffic (questions and responses). Just stick with beginner code if you've got simple problems or are wanting to provide less complex solutions. General and advance code if you're wanting longer discussions. This is all voluntary so don't expect any personal tutoring.

[lean finch]

guys how can i set animator other animations?

[timber rock]

Hello, everyone! I have a question regarding ground detection.

I'm currently working on a rigid body based character controller and, so far, I checked if the player character is grounded by using the CheckSphere method but it doesn't behave exactly the way I want it to. I have been looking for solutions on the internet and most people say I should be using a raycast or spherecast. Since raycasts cannot handle situations when the character is walking over very small gaps between two platforms, I believe using a spherecast is the way to go.

My question is:
Would using the Spherecast method in order to check if the player character is grounded make for a good solution or is it too expensive?

Also, if you know a more clever way and are inclined to share, please do so. :)))

[wraith valley]

Help please

Again this

I see no references set

[deft grail]

@wraith valley your using the Old Text, you should be using TextMeshPro

[swift elbow]

thats not the issue

[deft grail]

it literally is

[languid spire]

and where do you see that?

[swift elbow]

you see a null ref error and thats what youre worried about???

[deft grail]

its null because he cant reference it

[swift elbow]

where has he said that?

[deft grail]

here

[languid spire]

that is not a reference, that is a declaration. references are set in the inspector which says NONE

[deft grail]

what are you dragging into here

[wraith valley]

My text and script addScore

[languid spire]

you've dragged in nothing

[deft grail]

show the text

[languid spire]

#💻┃code-beginner message

[deft grail]

the exact thing your dragging

[wraith valley]

I did that

[summer stump]

Are you dragging this onto a prefab?

[wraith valley]

Yes

[summer stump]

You cannot do that
Prefabs cannot reference scene objects

[languid spire]

where, you have not shown it

[wraith valley]

This

[wraith valley]

I should create prefab with text?

[stuck palm]

i did this and now all my textures are stuck on that after play mode, how do i fix? i just want it to scroll a texture but it appears to have scrolled every texture

void Update()
    {
        _image.material.mainTextureOffset += speed * Time.deltaTime;
    }

[wraith valley]

With prefab

[ivory bobcat]

Maybe clone the shared material in Start and assign this material to this individual object. Then offset this individual material.

[stuck palm]

how can i clone?

[ivory bobcat]

Reminder that if you decide to prematurely destroy the object, you ought to destroy the material as well - loading a new scene will automatically do this for you though.

[hazy minnow]

can someone tell me how to acces another variable from another script

[young warren]

https://unity.huh.how/references

or google "how to access variable from another script unity"

[ivory bobcat]

Maybe something like image.material = new Material(image.material);
Writing this from memory.

why my score var don't work

[summer stump]

I don't see you assign anything to score anywhere

Likely you are getting confused by having playerScore and score

Then assigning to playerScore but trying to USE score

[hazy minnow]

I want to make when you go touch the collider the score get higher

[swift elbow]

public OtherScript os;

public void Start()
{
    os.myvar = 10;
}

[hazy minnow]

ok

[summer stump]

Ok, well i explained your issue

[frosty lantern]

Thanks for the breakdown!

[hazy minnow]

Thx now my code works

[frosty lantern]

hey if I instantiate an object based on a prefab, and that prefab has a script, and that script contains a variable containing a script such as a CoordinateSystem cs = new CoordinateSystem(), can I access that Coordinatesystem in the line after instantiating the object?

[wintry quarry]

sure why not

[frosty lantern]

because I'm getting a nullreference and wanted to make sure it wasn't just bad timing

[thorn holly]

Yes, Instantiate() returns the specific instance of the object you instantiated

[swift elbow]

yes, if you reference it properly

[swift elbow]

called it

[wintry quarry]

You'd have to show your code

[thorn holly]

Reference that and then use get component to access the variable

[wintry quarry]

you don't need GetComponent

[frosty lantern]

Heres the code, so far

PieceSetup:
https://gdl.space/raquyurote.cs
ChessPiece:
https://gdl.space/wokidogala.cs
BoardCoord:
https://gdl.space/noborilufu.cs

PieceSetup has an error on 122

[tacit kestrel]

hello. i have a rhythm game i am working on. i am having a specific issue with a lag spike that happens when i hit the first note, and then never again. looking at the profiler it seems to do some huge reallocation at that time for some reason. what could this be?

[thorn holly]

…how

He’s instantiating a prefab

And it has a component

[wintry quarry]

That means the prefab you instantiated doesn't have the ChessPiece script attached to it

[thorn holly]

And he wants to get a variable in that component

[wintry quarry]

easily

you don't need GetCOmponent for that at all

[young warren]

Praetor knows what they're talking about lol

[rocky gale]

hi, i am using netcode for gameobjects and i am trying to make a health system where if your health is 0 you die. i have an interface which has a damage method, and in my gun i have a raycast and when you click it invokes the method and damages the player. in the player i check if the health is equal to or less han 0 and destroy it. how would i go about making the server destroy the player because right now if the client kills the host i get the error [Netcode-Server Sender=1] [Invalid Destroy][Player(Clone)][NetworkObjectId:1] Destroy a spawned NetworkObject on a non-host client is not valid. Call Destroy or Despawn on the server/host instead.

[wintry quarry]

[SerializeField] ChessPiece prefab;

void SpawnPiece() {
  ChessPiece instance = Instantiate(prefab);
  var whatever = instance.whatever;
}``` @thorn holly

no GetComponent required

[frosty lantern]

thank you, my king script was the only one extending chesspiece, I need to fix the others

[wraith valley]

Why var if i can write gameObject type?

[summer stump]

We don't want GameObject type

[wintry quarry]

I used var because whatever is a placeholder example variable and we have no idea what type it is

it's just an example

[wraith valley]

Ok

[wintry quarry]

Anyway why would we want "GameObject" anywhere in here?

[thorn holly]

Oh, so the Instantiate will automatically return the ChessPiece component attatched to the prefab?

[wintry quarry]

yes

[thorn holly]

I did not know that was a feature

[wintry quarry]

it also guarantees that you can only reference an object that actually has ChessPiece on it

[thorn holly]

I learned something new today

[wintry quarry]

which would have saved this person from this problem

[young warren]

it's in the documentation

[frosty lantern]

I was instantiating pieces that were meant to have a chesspiece on them, I just had
public class Queen : MonoBehavior

instead of
public class Queen : ChessPiece

I fixed it

[wintry quarry]

Switching to directly referencing ChessPiece instead of GameObject for your prefab reference would make your code cleaner and avoid this mistake in the future

[thorn holly]

Can you do that for any component?

[young warren]

uh, sure?

[dire tartan]

how do i prevent my player from sticking to the side of a wall if a force is being added in the walls direction

[pine umbra]

Hi Guys, How do i repair/ prepare my audio file to fit in audio source? Cause when i downloaded my sound from yt it didn't work

[dire tartan]

ive added a physics material but that only works when the player isnt waling into the wall

[young warren]

where are you trying to "fit" it in?

[thorn holly]

Cool

[swift elbow]

what does this mean?

a physic material should be all you need

[pine umbra]

maybe I used wrong word, but I simply can't put my audio file in audiosource component

[frosty lantern]

If I directly reference ChessPiece, can I instantiate a child script like King or Queen?

[young warren]

where are you putting it?

[wintry quarry]

yes

[young warren]

and where is your audio file

[wraith valley]

What is ```rb.velocity = new Vector2(moveInput * speed * Time.deltaTime, rb.velocity.y);

[pine umbra]

I mean XD dunno if i understood

[young warren]

and is it any of these formats listed in here?
https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/class-AudioClip.html

[wintry quarry]

Poorly written code.

[wraith valley]

Why rb.velocity.y is there?

[wintry quarry]

to preserve the existing velocity on the y axis

[dire tartan]

i added a physics material with no friction but if the player is walking into the wall he is stuck to it

[wraith valley]

Left and right?

[wintry quarry]

y axis is up and down

[swift elbow]

so this is an issue with your movement script

[pine umbra]

yup, tried mp3 and wav but its converted so maybe it can cause problem

[wraith valley]

Why? If he only wants to move left and right?

[dire tartan]

yeah i was wondering how to avoid the issue

[wintry quarry]

Why is the y axis up and down? Because that's how Unity is designed

and most coordinate systems

[wraith valley]

No

[swift elbow]

by changing your movement script?

[wraith valley]

Why save y speed if he uses x speed?

[young warren]

that's weird. what happens when you drag the file into the audioclip slot?

[wintry quarry]

Precisely because we don't want to change y speed. So we use the existing y speed.
if you put 0 there, you would change y speed to 0.

[frosty lantern]

Am I instantiating wrong?

[wintry quarry]

You didn't change your variable type for piecePrefab to ChessPiece

[wraith valley]

Ok, thanks

[pine umbra]

nothing XD Literally nothing. I faced this problem once but forgor how i solved that

[frosty lantern]

thanks, this is awesome!

[wintry quarry]

anyway you definitely want to delete Time.deltaTime from there

it's wrong

[wraith valley]

Ok

[young warren]

sorry, not sure what's wrong then

maybe show a video of you dragging the file to the slot

[frosty lantern]

one question: how do I get the instantiate to create the prefab object? Like I have a King prefab, with a King : ChessPiece script.
Do I want to instantiate the prefab separately and attach it once it's instantiated?

[wintry quarry]

I don't understand the question

Instantiate creates everything

there's nothing to attach

it's already attached

attach it to what?

Instantiate will:

• Clone the entire prefab
• Return the reference to the ChessPiece script attached to the new clone

[frosty lantern]

It won't let me create the object prefab, because it's not a chesspiece

[pine umbra]

nah, that wouldn't be useful. It's prolly sth with inappropriate converting.

[wintry quarry]

if the prefab has a ChessPiece script or any script that derives from ChessPiece on it, you will be able to reference the prefab

[frosty lantern]

I' m still being dumb thank you

[summer torrent]

Hey, I've tried using https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/WheelColliderTutorial.html and i fixed a few errors but now it just says foreach statement cannot operate on variables of type 'WheelControl' because 'WheelControl' does not contain a public instance or extension definition for 'GetEnumerator' and i don't really know what to do

[frosty lantern]

I still haven't fixed the : Monobehavior on the scripts

[wintry quarry]

Sounds like you defined your wheels variable improperly

it should be WheelControl[] but you just wrote WheelControl

[summer torrent]

ok lemme try

oh, it's gone

thanks

[hazy minnow]

how to save the highest score

[rich adder]

save to file, or use playerprefs for now just to learn

if(currentScore > highestScore) Save()

[hazy minnow]

ok

how do I use the score that was saved

[rich adder]

you load it?

[hazy minnow]

but how do I load it at the begin of the game

[rich adder]

put it in a function thats runs in beginning of game

[signal dew]

Hey does anyone know how to instantly drag a game objects after spawning it?
(I have a button that spawns a game object on the mouse when you press it. I want it to spawn and then instantly drag it without letting go of the left mouse button and then despawn when you let go of the mouse button. So that pressing the button and dragging the object is one smooth motion.)

[wintry quarry]

sounds like you would just:

• in StartDrag spawn the thing
• in drag, drag the spawned thing
• in EndDrag despawn the spawned thing

[hollow remnant]

I want to make this by procedural function...

..but did this

[signal dew]

where would i put start drag than because i still want the button to spawn the game object 😅

[wintry quarry]

You'd put IBeginDragHandler on whatever you're clicking to start the drag process.

use the links in the bot below to send code properly

are you sure the script is running also where are you increasing score?

[hollow remnant]

add Update method

[hazy minnow]

yes the code is running but it overwrite the highscore function by 0

[slender nymph]

you don't actually display the high score until you save it in the gameOver method

[wintry quarry]

you're only ever setting the high score text in GameOver

[rich adder]

as pointed out score text only updates on death, make an Increase score method change text there

[hazy minnow]

ok

[outer cobalt]

I have a couple of respawn points that have the same animation that if the player collides, it plays a animation, but it resets the copies of the respawn point to the same point as the first respawn, how can i fix this?

[rich adder]

you're probably animating the transforms?

esp if they share the same animation you will have problem , make sure it only moves local

[summer torrent]

unity tutorial, again (it broke my wheels)

[outer cobalt]

yea im making them scale a bit yes

how would i make it local?

[rich adder]

not. code question, also is the model thats messed up

[signal dew]

it doesn't work

it will just spawn the object but wont instantly drag it (without letting go of the button and clicking on it again)

[wintry quarry]

you'd have to show what you tried

[rich adder]

forgot how to do it with animator , did you make sure root motion its unchecked ?

[summer torrent]

umm i think it's this code

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

public class WheelControl : MonoBehaviour
{
    public Transform wheelModel;

    [HideInInspector] public WheelCollider WheelCollider;

    // Create properties for the CarControl script
    // (You should enable/disable these via the 
    // Editor Inspector window)
    public bool steerable;
    public bool motorized;

    Vector3 position;
    Quaternion rotation;

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

    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update()
    {
        // Get the Wheel collider's world pose values and
        // use them to set the wheel model's position and rotation
        WheelCollider.GetWorldPose(out position, out rotation);
        wheelModel.transform.position = position;
        wheelModel.transform.rotation = rotation;
    }
}

[wintry quarry]

i'm expecting something like (pseudocode):

Transform placeholder;

void OnStartDrag() {
  placeHolder = Instantiate(prefab);
}

void OnDrag() {
  placeHodler.position = mousePosition;
}

void ONEndDrag() {
  Destroy(placeHolder.gameObnject);
}```

[rich adder]

so fix the model

[summer torrent]

how do i

[rich adder]

first check the pivot gizmos to make sure they are the correct direction

[hazy minnow]

It works thx

[uncut shoal]

I made a function which generates a mesh for a 2D chunk in my game so that I can render it with Graphics.DrawMesh, how do I give each tile on the chunk its own texture

[rich adder]

yeah it works but high score text still not changing when you surpass score until death

[hazy minnow]

it change when we click on Play Again

[rich adder]

thats how you want it ?

[hazy minnow]

and it's okayy

yes

[uncut shoal]

Currently my entire mesh is using a single sprite, but how do I make each tile able to have its own sprite

[hazy minnow]

just asking myself what are these weird noses in the video

[summer torrent]

my model is ok i guess

[signal dew]

i tried it like this

You ignored the result of Instantiate

so I don't know how you expect to move the instantiated thing if you're not even keeping a reference to it

how do i know everything is ok with gizmos?

[rich adder]

that too

[summer torrent]

i'm like rlly new to unity

[rich adder]

you look at the them with your eyes, making sure they match the wheel collider

[summer torrent]

like these?

[rich adder]

are those gizmos in Local or global mode

[summer torrent]

i think local

idk how to check

[rich adder]

don't think, be sure

[summer stump]

You duplicated a script

[lethal bolt]

OH i have three of them

[summer torrent]

ye it's local

[rocky canyon]

also make use of the ISO modes..

it'll help u line up pivots and such..

[summer stump]

Yeah, that would be an issue
Can only have one
In the same namespace*

[rocky canyon]

by locking it front view, left view, top view etc

[rich adder]

so its the script rotating it wrong

use a better script

[rich adder]

Back in Time babyyy

or the license plate iirc was "OuttaTime"

[rocky canyon]

hehe, itch assets ftw

[hazy minnow]

I changed the script now the high score will show before death

[rocky canyon]

cant say that, its just a futuristic delorean maybe not even delorean..

we can call it a stainless steel coupe

[rich adder]

steel body is the key to the disperse of flux....

[signal dew]

"ToSpawn" is the object that gets spawned if you mean that

or i changed transform.position to obj.position if you ment that

i am a bit confused tbh

[wintry quarry]

ToSpawn is the prefab

the actual object that gets spawned is returned by Instantiate

you're ignoring that

[summer stump]

var thing = Instantiate

Always look at the docs when confused

[wintry quarry]

And that spawned thing is the very thing you need to be moving

so it's hard to move that thing when you're not even storing a reference to it

[rocky canyon]

until the nueralink plugin

[signal dew]

how can i do that with an object that dosent exist yet 😅 (sorry i dont think i ever needed to do something like that before)

[wintry quarry]

what do you mean doesn't exist yet?

[summer stump]

#💻┃code-beginner message

[wintry quarry]

As I said, Instantiate returns it

[summer stump]

I just showed you

[wintry quarry]

it exists as soon as you call Instantiate

and yes

it's been shown to you

[signal dew]

ohhh i completely overlooked that sorry :')

[amber spruce]

how do i make a gameobject that has a script attached that has values that can change and can be accesed and changed from anywhere in the current scene and other scenes

[wintry quarry]

That describes any variable on any script basically

make a script, put a variable on it

put the script on an object

[uncut shoal]

Can someone help? I have a function which generates a mesh for a chunk in my 2D world, but currently all of the tiles that are inside the chunk are drawn with the same sprite. How do I make it use multiple sprites?

The mesh is drawn using Graphics.DrawMesh

[wintry quarry]

Why not use a TIleMap?

[wintry quarry]

you would have to UV-map the mesh then

[uncut shoal]

TileMaps wouldn't work with my current tile system

each tile in my system has a list of 'Elements' which are basically what make up the tile

a floor, a wall, a roof, an item.

[wintry quarry]

that sounds more like an internal data structure thing than a Rendering thing

[uncut shoal]

yes

but if I want to render that

[wintry quarry]

for rendering you could use a Tilemap

[uncut shoal]

I can't render it with a Tilemap

because a tilemap doesn't let me stack textures

[wintry quarry]

you could use multiple tilemaps - one for each layer of stacking

[summer torrent]

can i make this:
wheelModel.transform.rotation = rotation;
but with only one axis?

[wintry quarry]

what's the axis?

[uncut shoal]

Yeah but I thought it would be more performant to program something that is more suited to my data structure

[summer torrent]

x axis

[rich adder]

unity has a wheel collider example, why are you guessing your way around it lol

[wintry quarry]

Wouldn't you need some custom shader to do this sprite stacking with a MeshRenderer anyway?

[frail star]

How can I restrict this from adding all the contents of triviaJson.text into triviaDatabase?

JsonUtility.FromJsonOverwrite(triviaJson.text, triviaDatabase);

triviaJson.text has 547 questions , triviaDatabase is a list to hold the data , I wanna clear the list on start with list.clear() then refil the list with a specific number of questions from triviaJson.text

[uncut shoal]

no I basically planned to create several planes above each other :[

for each stack

[wintry quarry]

project the forward direction of the object in question on a plane with the x axis as the normal, and use that with Quaternion.LookRotation to produce the new rotation

[uncut shoal]

if it is needed for that specific tile

[wintry quarry]

This sounds functionally identical to a bunch of Tilemaps except for the part where you have to do manual UV-mapping which is annoying

[rich adder]

not sure what you're asking here, wdym restrict it from adding all?

[uncut shoal]

Ok fine

should I have a separate tile map for every single chunk or one for the entire map

[wintry quarry]

sounds like you probably want a tilemap for each chunk and each layer

[frail star]

correct , I want to only add x questions not all

[uncut shoal]

it kinda depends on whether tilemaps already do performance things like culling tiles that aren't visible right now

if it doesn't I'd probably have to create a tilemap stack for each chunk

[wintry quarry]

of course

[polar acorn]

Sounds like you want an "All questions" object you load from JSON and then pull a random sampling into a separate "Current questions" object

[rich adder]

You would have to specify that criteria somehow though, what would distingush those x questions from others

[uncut shoal]

Then I believe it would be better and more performant to have a single stack of tilemaps for the entire map

[frail star]

I'mtrying to use a for loop

for (int i = 0; i < triviaJson.text.Length; i++)
{
    JsonUtility.FromJsonOverwrite(triviaJson.text, triviaDatabase);
}

[uncut shoal]

so 3 tilemaps, assuming I have a floor layer, a middle layer, and a roof layer.

[rich adder]

why not grab them into a list then work with lists instead, so you can do things like shuffling or linq.. etc..

[frail star]

Like add to a list then fill from that?

[south dagger]

hey, im trying to make a leaderboard using google play services. To show the UI, im using Social.ShowLeaderboardUI();, but it doesn't work. I have to use another code or something? Thanks!

[uncut shoal]

unless I decide to allow players to create multifloored buildings

[vestal shadow]

i think i know what the issue might be

[south dagger]

oh wow lets see

[polar acorn]

Like have a list containing all possible questions and then a different list containing the ones you want

[rich adder]

they're trolling

don't listen to it

[south dagger]

oh wow then lets not see

[rich adder]

anyway where did you see this function to be used with leaderboard ?

[south dagger]

well, i can search the web. Btw i used before PlayGamesPlatform.Instance.LeaderboardUI (i dont know if its exactly that code) and it worked, but i need to show more than one leaderboard so i cant use that i think

[vestal shadow]

thats interesting...

i have faced a similar issue before

with the play store

[south dagger]

really?? i dont know if i have to believe it sorry ahahhahah

[vestal shadow]

yep, i think this issue really needs to be searched in depth, i would even say, with a magnifying glass

[south dagger]

i agree

[rich adder]

if you're not contributing anything helpful don't even bother

[rich adder]

I was just looking at the package to find that method thats why, but it was in a different class called Social thats why I wondered where you saw that

seems to be related to Android

[south dagger]

yeah probably, i found it yesterday, i dont have the page where i found it but now searching about leaderboards with google services, they use that line of code to show leaderboard

[rich adder]

You're using the UGS one though right ?

[south dagger]

what do you mean?

[rich adder]

I meant this leaderboard
https://docs.unity.com/ugs/en-us/manual/leaderboards/manual/leaderboards

[south dagger]

oh, im using the google play services leaderboards, i mean, i installed the package to install that services in unity and what things (the package im talking about https://github.com/playgameservices/play-games-plugin-for-unity/blob/master/current-build/GooglePlayGamesPlugin-0.11.01.unitypackage)

[rich adder]

ohh yeah last time I used their plugins nothing would work lol I just used another solution with a better SDK

nothing saying thats the case though.

The other functions work ?

[south dagger]

yeah it makes sense, btw this video shows more or less what i did, if its helpful: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lCZd_URHVK8

[rich adder]

show your current code

[south dagger]

what do you mean, the other thing i tried??

[rich adder]

did you make sure is running at all

[rich adder]

like other functions, like saving the score etc.

or is it just UI not working

[south dagger]

oh, well i was trying to fix that but without the ui working i cant check that really

[south dagger]

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

public class playGamesManager : MonoBehaviour
{
    //private const string leaderboardNormal = "CgkIm56s2cEQEAIQAQ";
    //private const string leaderboardEasy = "CgkIm56s2cEQEAIQAg";
    //private const string leaderboardHard = "CgkIm56s2cEQEAIQAw";

    public static playGamesManager playgamesmanager;
    public TextMeshProUGUI DetailsText;
    public bool connectedToGooglePlay;

    // Start is called before the first frame update
    void Start()
    {
        SignIn();
    }

    public void SignIn()
    {
        PlayGamesPlatform.Instance.Authenticate(ProcessAuthentication);
    }
    internal void ProcessAuthentication(SignInStatus status)
    {
        if (status == SignInStatus.Success)
        {
            // Continue with Play Games Services
            connectedToGooglePlay = true;
            string name = PlayGamesPlatform.Instance.GetUserDisplayName();
            string id = PlayGamesPlatform.Instance.GetUserId();
            string ImgUrl = PlayGamesPlatform.Instance.GetUserImageUrl();


            DetailsText.text = "Success \n " + name;

        }
        else
        {
            DetailsText.text = "Sign in Failed!!";
            connectedToGooglePlay = false;
            // Disable your integration with Play Games Services or show a login button
            // to ask users to sign-in. Clicking it should call
            // PlayGamesPlatform.Instance.ManuallyAuthenticate(ProcessAuthentication).
        }
    }

    public void LeaderboardUpdate(bool success)
    {
        if (success) Debug.Log("Updated Leaderboard");
        else Debug.Log("Unable to update Leaderboard");
    }

    public void ShowLeaderboard()
    {
        Social.ShowLeaderboardUI();
                
    }   
}

this is the code of the gameobject that manages the things about the google play services

[rich adder]

yes so are the logs printing ?

and is text saying "success"

[south dagger]

oh yeah, thats actually the signin function, that works yeah

[rich adder]

how are you calling ShowLeaderboard ?

put log inside to see if function runs at all

[south dagger]

with a button in the scene

[south dagger]

i can try that

yeah it works actually

it calls the function

[rich adder]

well since this seems to be play/android related, i'm gonna assume that function may need to run within the android enviroment

it probably uses native UI

docs just says to run that function
https://developer.android.com/games/pgs/unity/leaderboards

so nothing unusual

[south dagger]

yeah, i think so, but i tried it on the phone and it doesnt work, its weird

[south dagger]

yeah that page i meant

there is like two methods to do that, the second one is the one that works for me, but it only shows one leaderboard

[rich adder]

ohh

so make the function for all of them

maybe because you have multiple ones it doesn't know which to open unless you specify

[south dagger]

do you mean like separated ones??

[rich adder]

yea
like
PlayGamesPlatform.Instance.ShowLeaderboardUI("1");
PlayGamesPlatform.Instance.ShowLeaderboardUI("2");
PlayGamesPlatform.Instance.ShowLeaderboardUI("3");

[south dagger]

oh yeah but in the same function??

[rich adder]

yup

[amber spruce]

isnt there a better way of doing it with like singletons or smth

[south dagger]

yeah i should try that now that you say it

[rich adder]

though not sure why youd want to show all three at once lol or even if it would work

[amber spruce]

i just remember someone saying there was a certain way that you should do what im trying to do a while ago

[south dagger]

but i dont really now if it works

[wintry quarry]

"Singleton" just describes a script for which there will only be one copy

Your question was just extremely vague

like you literally provided no details at all

[amber spruce]

its to hold the variable of what is the current save slot

not sure if that helps

[wintry quarry]

SOunds like something a SaveGameManager or something like that should handle

it should live there

If you're asking how to get a reference to such a script, then sure the singleton pattern is one option

[south dagger]

yeahl, the thing is in the docs says that the Social.Showleaderboard... shows "all leaderboards" and the PlayGamesPlatform.Instance... shows "one leaderboard" so, i dont know if the solution you gave me works like the Social.showleaderboard. You know what i mean?

[wintry quarry]

But any technique of getting references will work. You just need a reference somehow.
https://unity.huh.how/references @amber spruce

[amber spruce]

alright thanks

[rich adder]

yea I see what you mean..its strange then it wont open all at once.

[south dagger]

yeah, and how i want to show the leaderboards all in a single button, i dont know if the PlayGamesPlatform... solution would work

[rich adder]

true you'd have to handle your own UI for each

[south dagger]

well, im going to try the solution you gave me, to see if it works, btw thanks a lot!!

[rich adder]

sure thing, goodluck!

[uncut shoal]

void generateTiles()
{
    tiles = new List<TileThing>();

    foreach (var element in elementRegister)
    {
        if (element.elementType == ElementType.Floor)
        {
            foreach (var sprite in element.floorElement.sprite.sprites)
            {
                UnityEngine.Tilemaps.Tile tile = (UnityEngine.Tilemaps.Tile)UnityEngine.Tilemaps.Tile.CreateInstance("Tile");
                tile.sprite = sprite.sprite;
                tile.name = "tile-" + element.id + "-" + sprite.material;
                tiles.Add(new TileThing(element.id, sprite.material, Direction.South, tile));
            }
        }
    }
}

I have this function that generates tiles at runtime

all the needed tile types for the game

but for some reason when I try to draw with the tile type using settile

it doesn't work

nothing happens

[south dagger]

it only shows the first leaderboard in order of the code, and the scores dont work either, nice hahahah

[rapid zodiac]

hello, i created a function called invincibility in another script. i wanted to use it in other script. but when i am creating refernce, it can't recognize the name of the script.

`using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using JetBrains.Annotations;
using Unity.VisualScripting;
using UnityEngine;

public class potionscript : MonoBehaviour

{
// Start is called before the first frame update
public BIRDSCRIPT BIRDSCRIPT;
void Start()
{

}

// Update is called once per frame
void Update()
{
    
}
 private void OnTriggerEnter2D(Collider2D collision)

{
if (collision.gameObject.layer == 3)
{
invincibility();
}
}

}
`

[rocky canyon]

you probably shouldn't name the reference identical to the type

BIRDSCRIPT birdScript; would be a simple change to keep you and ur IDE from getting confused

[wintry quarry]

Do conventions mean nothing to you?

anyway you haven't even explained what your issue is

[rocky canyon]

if invincibility() is a method in ur BIRDSCRIPT
you just need to make sure its a public method.. and you can access it by using the script reference..

[wintry quarry]

but when i am creating refernce, it can't recognize the name of the script.
What does this mean exactly?

[rocky canyon]

like myBirdScriptReference.invincibility(); but im just guessing what u mean

[rapid zodiac]

i have tried that.

[rocky canyon]

thats just a general rule.. regardless of ur question

[rich adder]

😿 another reason I use Unity's leaderboard or lootlocker

[rocky canyon]

https://unity.com/how-to/naming-and-code-style-tips-c-scripting-unity

oh neat, theres a Unity conventions page

[south dagger]

yeah it makes a lot of sense

[gilded sinew]

hey guys i need quick help. i know there is a way how to separate reference groups in inspector by typing some stuff in script between groups of variables

can you remind me how is that done? saw it somewhere but forgot

[rocky canyon]

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

[gilded sinew]

thank you so much 🙂

[rocky canyon]

no problem, https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/utilities/naughtyattributes-129996 also if you wanna get spicy with them

[gilded sinew]

thanks bud, i just need simple separation, tho i will save this link in case i want to make it better 🙂

[hot palm]

Gues you can make an empty header then?

[gilded sinew]

idk will test now, i just want to have title for different groups of references

it will make navigate through them lot easier

[hot palm]

Yep

[eternal needle]

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

[hot palm]

oh fire

[wraith valley]

I can`t drag and drop

[wintry quarry]

you can't drag and drop what where?

[wraith valley]

My werewolf

[wintry quarry]

what do you mean by "my werewolf"

those .asset files? Why are they .asset files and not pngs or something?

[wraith valley]

I can`t drag and drop my werewolf to animation

[wintry quarry]

where did you get those from

[wraith valley]

Werewolf?

[wintry quarry]

the .asset files

[wraith valley]

From site

[hot palm]

You can make a sprite sheet and set it as a child of the animator component

[wraith valley]

I did that

[wintry quarry]

can you be more vague please?

[hot palm]

Or if you drag a sprite sheet into the scene view, it automatically creates an animation

[south sky]

Yo guys, does the OnCollisionStay2D act like an update function?

[wintry quarry]

No

Update runs every frame

[rich adder]

not even close

[wintry quarry]

OnCollisionStay runs every physics simulation step while the collision is happening

[rich adder]

closest would be fixedupdate

[wraith valley]

I created an animator and a file with animations, but in the file with animations I cannot attach my pictures that I divided into separate particles through the editor

[wintry quarry]

that doesn't answer the question of where you got the .asset files from

and why you're not just using normal image files

or a spritesheet

[wintry quarry]

yes those are sprite assets

it looks like you dragged them into the folder for some reason

don't do that

[south sky]

So if i said

private void OnCollisionStay2D(Collision2D collision)
{
    if (collision.gameObject.tag == "DogEnemy")
    {
      health = health - 10f;
    {
{

That would only run once?

[wintry quarry]

drag them directly into the scrubsheet

[wintry quarry]

it will run every physics simulation step while the collision is happening, as I said before

[wraith valley]

I don`t how

[south sky]

I dont get what that means ngl.

[wraith valley]

But i did that

[wintry quarry]

every time unity simulates physics (50 times per second by default), while the collision is happening

what part is confusing you?

[south sky]

Oh cool

[south sky]

You explained it now so i get it

[hot palm]

Also you should rather use this

if (collision.gameObject.CompareTag("DogEnemy")) { ...; }

[south sky]

Why is compare tag better?

[wintry quarry]

it's more performant because it doesn't allocated any managed C# memory which will need to be garbage collected later.

when you do .tag a new String object has to be allocated in managed memory

[polar acorn]

1. Better performance for free
2. If you pass in a string that isn't actually a tag, it'll warn you

[south sky]

Oh thats cool

Thanks

[polar acorn]

So, if you accidentally typed "Dogenemy", it'd tell you there's no such tag as "Dogenemy" and you could see that and be like "Ah, I mistyped it"

[south sky]

Free debugging

Bet

Thanks

[hot palm]

Do I have to use a hold interaction if I want to check if a button is held down? action.performed triggers only once, just like started

[wintry quarry]

What are you trying to accomplish exactly? Also #🖱️┃input-system

[hot palm]

Oh didn't realize there is a specific channel, lets move there then

[abstract monolith]

i cant figure out how to get my character to move as a first person view
it wont move with aswd
the PlayerMotor is this code: https://gdl.space/uveduqaxop.cpp
the InputManager is this code: https://gdl.space/amafemipet.cs

[polar acorn]

Are you getting any errors

[abstract monolith]

nope

i was with the orginal code but i just took the code it suggested

i can send the orginal code

[polar acorn]

Are you sure? Look at the console when the game is running

[abstract monolith]

oohhh okay i see now

[rocky canyon]

interesting.. lol

[polar acorn]

Yeah that's a lot of problems.

[abstract monolith]

lol

[polar acorn]

Top one: You have a script component on something with no scripts attached. Chances are it's related to the second: PlayerMotor is not a component. It should be in its own file and it should keep the : MonoBehaviour that a new script comes with

Third error is the second error again. Fourth error is that you've got a negative scaled object with a collider which won't break things but might behave incorrectly.
Fifth error is proably nothing to worry about at the moment but you might need to address if you want to use the debugger

[wraith valley]

Why does the werewolf fall?

[polar acorn]

gravity

[rocky canyon]

lol

[wraith valley]

I have collider

[rocky canyon]

Rigidbody's be physics objects

does the floor also have one?

[wraith valley]

Yes

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

public class BlackWerewolfController : MonoBehaviour
{
    public float speed = 10;
    public float jumpForce = 5;
    public float h = 0;
    private Rigidbody2D rb2d;


    // Start is called before the first frame update
    void Start()
    {
        rb2d = GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>();
        
    }

    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update()
    {
        if (h != null)
        {
            
            h = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal");
            Vector3 movement = new Vector3(h, transform.position.y, transform.position.z) * speed * Time.deltaTime;
            transform.position += movement;
            if(h >= 0.1)
            {
                GetComponent<SpriteRenderer>().flipX = false;
            }
            if (h <= -0.1)
            {
                GetComponent<SpriteRenderer>().flipX = true;
            }
        }
    }
}

[rocky canyon]

ur collider looks like it may be inside the floor when it starts

lift it up above it some more and try again

[abstract monolith]

i cant figure this out

[polar acorn]

Movement via transform.position is teleportation and will ignore all colliders

[abstract monolith]

why this so hard lol

[wraith valley]

Transform.position y and z always 0

[polar acorn]

Until you get even a frame of displacement from gravity, then you're doubling your y position every frame while ignoring all colliders

[wraith valley]

How?

[polar acorn]

Because you're adding the Y and Z positions to the Y and Z positions every frame

If those are ever not zero, they're going to double every frame

[wraith valley]

They are 0

[polar acorn]

And since the rigidbody causes a change in position, you get a smidge of downward motion and your teleportation take it from there and wombo combo until infinite

[polar acorn]

At start probably

But look at the inspector while playing

Do they stay at 0, 0?

[wraith valley]

No

Y position always changing

[polar acorn]

So then they're not at 0

[rocky canyon]

exactly

[abstract monolith]

i did it guys

[wraith valley]

I fixed that

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

public class BlackWerewolfController : MonoBehaviour
{
    public float speed = 10;
    public float jumpForce = 5;
    public float h = 0;
    private Rigidbody2D rb2d;


    // Start is called before the first frame update
    void Start()
    {
        rb2d = GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>();
        
    }

    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update()
    {
        if (h != null)
        {
            
            h = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal");
            Vector3 movement = Vector2.right * h * speed * Time.deltaTime;
            transform.position += movement;
            if(h >= 0.1)
            {
                GetComponent<SpriteRenderer>().flipX = false;
            }
            if (h <= -0.1)
            {
                GetComponent<SpriteRenderer>().flipX = true;
            }
        }
    }
}

[abstract monolith]

now i jsut need to figure out what i want to make the game about

[wraith valley]

using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;

public class Camera : MonoBehaviour
{
    public Transform player;
    

    // Start is called before the first frame update
    void Start()
    {
        
    }

    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update()
    {
        if (player != null)
        {
            Vector3 player = new Vector2(gameObject.transform.position.x, gameObject.transform.position.y);
        }
    }
}

The camera doesn`t follow

[deft grail]

why would it be

you arent moving it at all

[wraith valley]

Wait

Player

🗿

[wintry quarry]

your code isn't doing anything other than storing some data in a variable and discarding it

[wraith valley]

🗿

[deft grail]

respond with something helpful other than some emojis

[wraith valley]

Ok

[deft grail]

to set position of something you need to get their transform then access the .position

[wraith valley]

I know

[deft grail]

doesnt look like it? based of the code you are posting

[wraith valley]

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

public class Camera : MonoBehaviour
{
    public Transform player;
    public GameObject camera;

    // Start is called before the first frame update
    void Start()
    {
        Vector3 camera = transform.position;
    }

    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update()
    {
        if (player != null)
        {
            Vector3 camera = new Vector3(player.transform.position.x, player.transform.position.y, player.transform.position.z);
        }
    }
}

[deft grail]

you create 2 variables, you create a new local variable which you set to the position of the object with this script

thats just the first 3 lines of code

and it makes no sense

i dont need to comment on the rest

[polar acorn]

To set the position of something you need to get their transform and access the .position

[wraith valley]

I didn`t?

There`s ```cpp
player.transform.position.x

[polar acorn]

Right now here is what your code actually does:
In start, you make a local variable you never use that ceases to exist when the function ends.
In update, you make a local variable you never use that ceases to exist when the function ends.

That's it

[eternal needle]

are you guessing at what to write by chance? you should maybe start by following a tutorial or at least doing some c# basics

[deft grail]

instead of creating a whole new vector and accessing the XYZ, you can just use .position which is a Vector3 already

[polar acorn]

If you want to set something's position, you need to actually, you know, set the object's position

[eternal needle]

you just happen to have a gameobject named camera, and at the same time a Vector3 named camera. These are both completely unrelated to each other

[polar acorn]

Yes, that is the current value of the player's X position. What are you actually doing with it

[wraith valley]

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

public class Camera : MonoBehaviour
{
    public Transform player;
    public GameObject camera;

    // Start is called before the first frame update
    void Start()
    {
        
    }

    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update()
    {
        if (player != null)
        {
            camera.transform.position = player.transform.position;
            
        }
    }
}

[rocky canyon]

aye! that makes more sense

[deft grail]

did you test the code? do you see any results

[wraith valley]

But i should erase the GameObject camera

[wraith valley]

Yes

Thanks

[deft grail]

yes you can do just transform.position if this script is on the Camera

[rocky canyon]

well ur kinda using it

[eternal needle]

you also really shouldnt have a class named Camera, because unity has one as well

[polar acorn]

Assuming this script is on the camera, you can just use transform.position

[rocky canyon]

but yes.. transform.position would be the same gameobject that the script Camera is attached to

[wraith valley]

Yes

I want to erase that

using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;

public class Camera : MonoBehaviour
{
    public Transform player;
    

    // Start is called before the first frame update
    void Start()
    {
        
    }

    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update()
    {
        if (player != null)
        {
            Vector3 vector = new Vector3(player.position.x, player.position.y, -10);

            transform.position = vector;
            
        }
    }
}

I need with -10

[nimble wigeon]

hey guys so im making a 2d platformer game and i got my 2d character movement from a video online and im able to move left and right but for some reason im unable to jump, can someone help me, this is my code :

[summer stump]

You should definitely rename that class

Edit: ah, I see that was mentioned

[deft grail]

which means, the camera needs to be behind all the other game objects so they can actually be visible infront of the camera

[wintry quarry]

Start the video over. You did something wrong. Most likely something in the editor setup, not the code.

[wraith valley]

Becouse i did with vector3

[deft grail]

probably nothing to do with the code, did you setup the ground layer correctly? maybe increase the 0.2f value a bit too

[wraith valley]

But thats doesnt work

[summer stump]

You are setting y velocity to 0 every fixed update

[deft grail]

idk what your saying tbh, but i was explaining why you need -10 and cant just set it to the same Z which would be 0

[nimble wigeon]

i used the debug log and it says that it's touching the ground :

[wintry quarry]

Definitely this: #💻┃code-beginner message

double check your code vs the tutorial

[nimble wigeon]

im taking a beginner game design at school so dont know much lol how would i fix it

[summer stump]

I'm not sure how the tutorial did it, but you need to just NOT set y velocity to 0

There are multiple ways to handle that

The tutorial would have had to handle it in some way

[wraith valley]

I know

Because i`m using vector3

But thats doesnt work

[nimble wigeon]

thx i just set it to rb.velocity.y and it works now

[summer stump]

Good choice

[stuck sinew]

yo i need some help i want to that i get damge wenn i collied to an "Enemy" but it dont work can someone look over my script?

[tough cave]

How do I approach a jump? When you're only allowed to jump when youre on a ground surface? without having to use 'IsTrigger'? cuz then i fall through the ground. Do I make a second floor thats invisible that will be a trigger thats on the same location as the floor orsum?

[wintry quarry]

Follow any basic movement tutorial, they will all cover how to do ground checks etc.

there are several viable approaches of course

[tough cave]

I am, but this video is using a cooldown on a jump, which I thought is weird. But alr ill find a diff one

[deft grail]

sure, show the code

[wintry quarry]

just follow the tutorial and see how they handle the ground check

you can rewrite it later to remove the cooldown if you wish

the important part of a tutorial is understanding

I don`t know

[stuck sinew]

cs

[wraith valley]

But without GameObject doesn`t work

[stuck sinew]

huh

[deft grail]

whats wrong now?

[wraith valley]

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

public class Camera : MonoBehaviour
{
    public Transform player;
    public GameObject camera;
    

    // Start is called before the first frame update
    void Start()
    {
        
    }

    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update()
    {
        if (player != null)
        {
            Vector3 vector = new Vector3(player.position.x, player.position.y, -10);

             camera.transform.position = vector;

           // camera.transform.position = player.transform.position;
            
            
        }
    }
}

[wraith valley]

Without GameObject doesn`t work

[deft grail]

is this script on the camera?

[wraith valley]

Yes

[deft grail]

if it doesnt work then it probably isnt

[deft grail]

show how your doing it without GameObject

[deft grail]

click one of the links, and paste your code then send the link here, makes it easier to read code for us

[polar acorn]

So what's the problem

[wintry quarry]

Well... is this script attached to the camera, or to something else?

[deft grail]

what doesnt work about it

[wintry quarry]

That doesn't answer the question

[deft grail]

why is this object at -10

your player i assume

[wraith valley]

The camera doesn`t follow

[deft grail]

it should be at 0

[wintry quarry]

Also why did you name your script Camera? That's a recipe for sadness

[polar acorn]

show it

[wraith valley]

At 0 i see anything

[wraith valley]

Screenshot above

[wintry quarry]

the camera is not shown

you have the werewolf selected

[rocky canyon]

run the game.. pause it... show the player transform..

[wintry quarry]

and it's at -10

[scarlet skiff]

how does one make like a collection in code, if u have a lot of fields you wanna group, you can do like:

something
{
ur fields
}

what is that called?

[rocky canyon]

and then show the camera transform

[wintry quarry]

struct or class

[polar acorn]

No it isn't

Show the camera

[wintry quarry]

why is the cmaera script attached to the werewolf

[scarlet skiff]

class is for a type of thing, i want jus tcollection so i think struct is the thing

[deft grail]

the script isnt attatched to the camera

[polar acorn]

Why is this object following itself

How does that remotely make sense

[wintry quarry]

they are both for "type of thing"
The difference is whether it's a reference type or value type

[rocky canyon]

lol, theres ur problem ^

[stuck sinew]

[wraith valley]

Working

[deft grail]

why have you just took this other guys code instead of showing your own? 🤔

[wraith valley]

Thanks

[stuck sinew]

wait

wut

[wraith valley]

😄

[stuck sinew]

my bad wait a sec

[wraith valley]

That`s mine

[spiral narwhal]

I don't get why there's an error here:

        private void UpdateBountyHuntSubtasks(SpaceshipType defeatedShipType)
        {
            _selectedGameTaskProgress
                .SubtaskProgress
                .Where(subtaskProgress =>
                    subtaskProgress.GetScriptableObject() is BountyHuntGameSubtask_SO bountyHuntTask &&
                    bountyHuntTask.SpaceshipTypesToHunt.ContainsKey(defeatedShipType))
                .Select(bountyHuntProgress => bountyHuntProgress as BountyHuntGameSubtaskProgress)
                .ToList()
                .ForEach(bountyHuntSubtaskProgress => bountyHuntSubtaskProgress.Progress.Values[defeatedShipType]++); // <--- ERROR HERE
        }

Cannot apply indexing to an expression of type 'System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary<main.entity.Overworld.SpaceshipType,int>.ValueCollection'

[wintry quarry]

Values can't be accessed by index like that

[stuck sinew]

https://hastebin.com/share/davirerizo.csharp this should be the right one

[polar acorn]

ValueCollection is not a list. It has no order. You can't get an element by index

[deft grail]

and whats the problem again? i dont want to scroll all the way up

[spiral narwhal]

Hmmm. How do I just increment the value of the element at that key?

[wintry quarry]

what are you trying to do here? This looks very convoluted

[nimble wigeon]

sry to bother again but i was wondering if any knew how or had a tutorial showing how to make a 2d sprite go up ladders or stairs since i need my sprite to do so and with my current movement controller it's unable to do so, for reference this is my current scene , and this is my movement controller script,

[stuck sinew]

the collision withe the enemy will dont work i dont get damage

[wintry quarry]

myDict[key] = myDict[key] + 1

[polar acorn]

aDictionary[someKey] = aDictionary[someKey] + 1;

[wintry quarry]

assuming it's a key into the dictionary and not an index into a list

[rocky canyon]

[nimble wigeon]

ty

[deft grail]

do you get either of these Debug.Logs for collision?

[spiral narwhal]

Ohhhh
.ForEach(bountyHuntSubtaskProgress => bountyHuntSubtaskProgress.Progress[defeatedShipType]++);, yeah that seems to work

[spiral narwhal]

At least the compiler is fine with it
