[obtuse osprey]

works thanks, i got some questions
One, how many pixels should i make new sprites im using gimp if that matters
two, i want to start making a map should i still use gimp how big should i make it and how do i make it so the sprites dont go through buildings or be able to enter at the door

[deft grail]

with pixel art usually its like 16x16, with normal i have no idea? i assume like 128x128 or something, you can probably find the best resolutions on google

[deft grail]

so your player and things dont walk through other things, you would add a collider in the inspector, BoxCollider2D or whatever shape fits
i suggest following a basic unity tutorial if this is your first time using it

[modern oxide]

I'm trying to make a script that will control the Camera, so would I use transform for that? and for zooming, how would I do that, I just need some pointers. Thanks!

[deft grail]

you can change its position, and for the zoom it has a value for that

[spiral narwhal]

Sample SO:
    public class AmmunitionWeaponAttribute : ScriptableObject, IWeaponAttribute

Interface:
    public interface IWeaponAttribute
    {
    }

SO Reference:
            [SerializeField] private IWeaponAttribute[] _attributes;

For this, I get Redundant 'SerializeField' attribute. This leads me to believe that I can't serialise an interface based SO like that. Does anyone know how I can do that?

[slender nymph]

obligatory: use cinemachine for camera controls

[modern oxide]

ummmm....... ok

[deft grail]

you dont have to use cinemachine, it would be much easier though and save time

[modern oxide]

Yeah I think imma use it just to make it easier for my self right now and later down the road

um..... what should I use?

[rich adder]

what kind do you want?

[modern oxide]

Well, I need it to move around a part, move up and down, zoom in and out, and the ability to lock all controls when a condition isn't met

but idk

[deft grail]

free look or virtual, i dont remember which one is the main one just try both

[dense walrus]

i want to upload png images to a panel UI thing in my game but it wont let me drag them into the panel pls help

[deft grail]

create a game object of type image under the UI section

[modern oxide]

uh oh. thats alot of settings

[dense walrus]

what about the panel

[rich adder]

freelook is the one that pivots around a point

you probably don't want that

just use regular VirtualCamera

[modern oxide]

ok

[deft grail]

create a child to the panel? which would be your image

which you would drag your sprite to?

[dense walrus]

ok thanks

im completely new to this so thank you for your help

[deft grail]

or are you trying to change the actual panel itself?

[modern oxide]

How do I fix this?

[dense walrus]

nah im just trying to drag my image to the bg part of the panel

[rich adder]

you deleted the main camera

set up is
GameObject1 : MainCamera | CinemachineBrain
GameObject2: VirtualCamera

[dense walrus]

it still wont let me drag the png

[rich adder]

did you set the image as 2DUI/Sprite

[deft grail]

what are you trying

[dense walrus]

im trying to make a health bar so i made some art for it and put the art in my assest folder, now im trying to assemble the health bar itself and cant drag my frame image into the thing that says source image

[rich adder]

btw this is not code question

[dense walrus]

idk where to ask this

it said beginner so i went hey thats me

[rich adder]

it says Code beginner

[dense walrus]

can u just help

pls

[rich adder]

the channel that says #📲┃ui-ux

or #💻┃unity-talk

[rich adder]

I asked you a question you never replied

[dense walrus]

im trying to do that

idk how

[rich adder]

look at the Inspector when you click on the image

should probably do the essentials path on the Unity website

[dense walrus]

oh that worked

thanks!

[queen adder]

BEHOLD!

[buoyant knot]

why would you want this method

[queen adder]

being able to easily add components using string gives quite some flexibility

[buoyant knot]

…how

if you want to add a component, you already have the type itself

also, ClassTypeReferences is a thing

[queen adder]

one SO easy to get the components it needs

[buoyant knot]

oh wow

that is indeed as terrible as I envisioned

[abstract monolith]

this is gonna be dumb but how do i reopen the heirarchy

[buoyant knot]

go to top menu bar, look at the windows dropdown, i think

[queen adder]

or rightclick any tab

or ctrl+4

[buoyant knot]

my man, use ClassTypeReferences

[abstract monolith]

thanks

[buoyant knot]

it’s how you can serialize references to types

[queen adder]

hmm not familiar

[buoyant knot]

and not accidentally type “Protecor” and wonder why the hell nothing works

i am telling you the name of the extension

[queen adder]

i am looking at their api, dont think it will work in my unity

[polar acorn]

why

[buoyant knot]

it works in unity. it is made for unity

[slender nymph]

Probably doesn't support prehistoric versions of unity

[buoyant knot]

your unity is not a different unity than everyone else’s unity

[polar acorn]

That's pretty nifty. I never needed this but that's a handy tool to have if I ever do

[buoyant knot]

the extension also has a very old version, as it has been a thing for a while

so I can guarantee there is a version of it that will work

the solid alloy fork uses specific dropdowns that are more likely unity-version specific. the older version just makes some dictionaries and shit, and that is it

[wet basin]

I'm playing this game, with basic unity text, the code below is what the image is.

Is there a way to Outline the text with a color?

<i><size=95px><b>R<size=590%>obinson <i><size=95px><b>G<size=590%>ap <size=95px>C<size=590%>oal

[buoyant knot]

it is extremely useful to tie a class (that inherits from a given base/interface) to an SO

because SOs can’t refer to anything in scene

and sometimes you just want to tie logic to different SO instances, but not bloat the SO itself with a bunch of crap

especially for classes that you want to access without instancing a whole prefab

[modern oxide]

how do I have the camera rotate around this empty game object while still looking at it. (I'm using Cinemachine virtual Cam)

[rocky canyon]

should be able to accomplish that with the FreeLook component

[rich adder]

Freelook

[modern oxide]

I added the component and, you spin me right round baby right round

[rocky canyon]

u dont have the camera parented to the target do u?

[modern oxide]

No not yet I'm fixing a lot of it currently

[rocky canyon]

armed with the knowledge of freelook component u should be able to find a good amount of tutorials to check out

even if its just enough to get u started

and thanks btw, that songs stuck in my head

[modern oxide]

lmao

[queen adder]

can someone link me a good tutorial on how to use the animation window? i cant really find a good one

[twin bolt]

What's the best way for me to create a global sound effect script, that plays a sound when a 3d object is being moved?

How could i play a sound when a object is moving?

[white void]

Do you want to play it once?

[twin bolt]

I want it to constantly loop until the player stops moving the object.

[white void]

Alright, be right back

Have you used an AudioSource?

[twin bolt]

Yes

[eternal needle]

Is there a specific part you struggle with?

what is stopping you from doing this

[white void]

It's on your 3d object, right?

[twin bolt]

Its only the code part, i'm not sure how i could code it.

[white void]

Nevermind

[eternal needle]

Is this supposed to be with only 1 object, or whenever a player is moving any object? if any object, can these objects play different sounds?
Think about these things, then first thing you can know where this script should be.
Then consider what moving the object means, like a UI object, rigidbody, or manually affecting the position

[twin bolt]

I want to make a global script, that can be put on any object, and all i input is the audiosource.

[eternal needle]

Any object at all? not just rigidbody for example?

[white void]

Alright, I'd go to a folder used for scripts and right click -> Create -> C# Script

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

public AudioClip aud;
private AudioSource audioSource;

void Start()
{
    audioSource = GetComponent<AudioSource>();
    audioSource.clip = aud;
    audioSource.loop = true;
    audioSource.Play();
}

Then, I'd name that script whatever you want, and then add it to your 3d object

I think that should work, maybe

[twin bolt]

Just rigidbody

[eternal needle]

you really dont need to guess, or try spoonfeeding. This clearly wont work for what they asked. This just plays audio only

[twin bolt]

Thank you, but this just plays the audio.

I need the audio to be synced with the movements of the 3d object.

[eternal needle]

Since its RB, you can just check the velocity and then do the above logic based on if the object has velocity

[twin bolt]

Ok, so check to see if the velocity is over 0?

[safe salmon]

Can someone push me in the right direction - im attempting to make a grid based inventory system. watched a few youtube vids and still confused, doesnt seem like im getting it right

[eternal needle]

velocity is a vector3, so you either check if its equal to the zero vector or check if the magnitude (or sqrMagnitude) is 0

[twin bolt]

Yea thats what i meant.

[eternal needle]

you should specify more, like what you want for it to do, what doesnt work specifically. I would start by making an inventory that just exists by itself, no grid or UI associated with it yet. Make add, remove, drop, swap methods if you want those. Then make some grid UI which calls methods on the existing inventory

[static cedar]

What .NET version does Unity 2022 use?

[safe salmon]

thanks!

[feral bluff]

I've made a fps walking system in unity. But i've had this issue with the code. That when the player changes the Y level even for a bit or just goes to another cube that is in the same Y level as the floor it just levitates in the air infinitly. I've tried some things but they dont seem to work. Here's the code.

`private void FixedUpdate()
{
float horizontalInput = Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal") * Time.deltaTime;
float verticalInput = Input.GetAxisRaw("Vertical") * Time.deltaTime;

    Vector3 cameraForward = Camera.main.transform.forward.normalized;
    Vector3 cameraRight = Camera.main.transform.right.normalized;

    cameraForward.y = 0f;
    cameraRight.y = 0f;

    Vector3 ForwardRelative = verticalInput * cameraForward;
    Vector3 RightRelative = horizontalInput * cameraRight;

    Vector3 MovementDirection = ForwardRelative + RightRelative;

    rb.velocity = new Vector3(MovementDirection.x,  rb.velocity.y , MovementDirection.z).normalized *      MovementSpeed; 
}“`

[abstract monolith]

https://gdl.space/upirivafit.cs
its supposed to be a script for switching guns with scroll wheel
this is the error
The name 'SelectWeapon' does not exist in the current context

[deft grail]

you made the SelectWeapon method inside of your Update

which made it local to Update

which means it doesnt exist outside of it

[abstract monolith]

ahhh

thanks i fixed it

[stuck palm]

Can you DDOL objects when working with online multiplayer? Might try and consider making a multiplayer component to my game if I can parse over the player input manager and stuff.

[summer stump]

DDOL is just pitting it in a special scene called DontDestroyOnLoad

Yes.

[split dragon]

Hi. I have a question: I want to make a random value for red in Color Grading through a script, but there I need to convert int to the desired type for Unity. I tried searching the internet and found nothing. How to convert?

[deft grail]

whats the error

[split dragon]

Severity Code Description Project File String Suppression Status
Error CS0029 Cannot implicitly convert the type "int" to "UnityEngine.Rendering.Post Processing.Spline". Assembly-CSharp

[twin bolt]

OKay got a issue, i'm trying to make the audio now, but their is a small pause between the loop. I'm not sure if its unity or not.

[proven wharf]

First time with unity and c# My idea is a Tetris-style multiplayer Pacman (each person on their own half of the screen). I took a github with a classic pacman and duplicated everything, the problem is that they use the same scripts and if I want to change something it ends up being a chain of errors and code to change. I think the easiest way is to run 2 instances of the game in each half, is it possible? Each one with its own assets? Or there is a simpler solution and I am drowning in a glass of water.

[eternal needle]

simply duplicating everything is very unlikely to just work. Game managers for example would just be referencing one thing, any global events or singletons being used would immediately cause issues.
The easiest way without learning someone elses system and trying to fix it, is just make your own

[eternal needle]

im not too familiar with audio. it could be a problem with the audio clip itself having no sound at the end

[grizzled zealot]

It seems my "DynamicManager.asset" got messed up. The collision matrices I set up are still working correctly, but the when I go to Project Settings > Physics and look at the collision setup, it's all messed up. You can even see that the rows and columns don't align.

Also I don't use gravity, but it shows a gravity of -9.81.

[acoustic arch]

anyone got tips for making my objects in a list appear in an inventory, i have the grid fully setup now i just need a way for it to create an object slot and show the image

instantiate more cells to a grid

[summer stump]

Have the item provide a sprite. Show the sprite in a grid slot
Often a slot is an object

[grizzled zealot]

If I revert to a pervious version of the DynamicsManager.asset; it shows the same behavior.

[twin bolt]

Nevermind i found it, unity doesnt like looping mp3 audios. I had to change it to .wav

[acoustic arch]

i got what your saying all ready but i'm just wondering how to have slots become created as new objects become filled in the list/array

[summer stump]

Yeah, i find .mp3s have a silence added at the end of the file, even if it isn't there beforehand

[summer stump]

When you create the inventory, do a loop and instantiate a slot for each required slot

Generally just a for loop

Then using the i, you can do rows and columns with some math

[twin bolt]

Yep, sucks.

[summer stump]

Or a for loop inside a for loop with i and j, j being the rows and i being columns

[acoustic arch]

alright thanks

[static cedar]

U guys know how to enable nullable for the entire project in unity?

[slender sinew]

as far as I know you cant, since Unity overrides the csproj settings.. instead you have to manually enable it per file unless you can set up some kind of post-csproj generation script to change the Nullable setting every time Unity regenerates it

[thorn holly]

So I'm having a couple issues here. This is a script for a bullet. https://gdl.space/iheralilug.cs My first issue is that it will not bounce off walls. It just sort of hits them, then glides along them. Does anyone know why?

i logged it, and the collision is happening

[eternal needle]

could possibly be related to that you are assigning it in update? add some Debug.DrawRay to visualize where it is going

[thorn holly]

I did some debugging and that seems to be fixed

[thorn holly]

Updated code: https://gdl.space/avabiparip.cpp. the other issue i have is that the overlap circle is not working at all. The layer that I wan't it to collide with is 6, and I'll watch it collide, but nothing gets logged

[eternal needle]

it is not 6 that you wanna hit, you want 1 << 6.
https://unity.huh.how/bitmasks

[native seal]

you should just pass in you collider.includeLayers to make sure it is the right layer

[thorn holly]

? Where?

[native seal]

in OverlapCircle

instead of "filter"

get a rerference to the bullets collider and then pass in includeLayers

make sure to set the include layer to the thing u want to hit in the inspector

[thorn holly]

i just did the bitmask, that seemed to work

thanks

[topaz mortar]

If I have a Class Item and then two classes that inherit item ItemA and ItemB
Can I make a Dictionary<Item> that contains both ItemA and ItemB?

Or is there some other solution for this?

[cosmic dagger]

yes, you can . . .

[topaz mortar]

I never really worked with inheritance 😛

[charred spoke]

Thats pretty much the whole point

[topaz mortar]

doesn't seem all that common in most projects

what happens to the variables ItemB has that are not in Item?

[charred spoke]

Nothing happens to them

[topaz mortar]

so I can access them from the Dictionary?

[charred spoke]

If you know that the specific item is itemB you can typecast it to B

But you should not be designing like that

Item should have a virtual method that does the work. B should override that to use its specific variables

[topaz mortar]

it's probably better to define all the fields in Item?

[cosmic dagger]

the reference in the dictionary is that of Item. you can only access fields from that class. as Uri stated, if you know that specific reference is an ItemB, then you can cast it to ItemB in order to access those specific fields . . .

[charred spoke]

The you can go item.DoSomething and it will B,s DoSomething

[small mantle]

Trying to make this worldTimer check if gets passed 10 seconds, and if it does it will increase enemy health. I want this cycle to happen every time worldtimer increases by 10 seconds. cs if (worldTimer % 10f == 0) { EnemyScript.health += 10; } --- This is the code that I am having problem with

[charred spoke]

No Item should only have fields that will be common for all items

[topaz mortar]

So what I'm trying to do is on my server create a list of items to send back to the client.
But different item types have different fields.
I can only send one reply from the server.

[charred spoke]

what do you mean one reply ?

[topaz mortar]

client asks for an item list and the server makes the items and sends them back

[cosmic dagger]

this will rarely hit precisely, if not at all. especially if you increase time using a float. check if the time passes 10 seconds (or vice versa if counting down), send an event, and then reset the timer . . .

[charred spoke]

Me personally I would a virtual NetworkSerialize on the base Item class and have each concrete Item implement it's own specific serialization in this case

[topaz mortar]

It's kinda silly, for now I just have scrolls and equippable items,
the equippable items have 2 extra fields

[charred spoke]

then again I would just make it so tha the client already has all the items on his side and server just sends a list of id's like You currently have items 0.4.7,45

[topaz mortar]

the items are generated on the server 😦

but yeah I could just serialize them seperately

[charred spoke]

Why should the actual item object be generated on the server ? Have the server just generate what items the client has. You are wasting network trafic sending whole objects back and forth

[topaz mortar]

to prevent cheating?
items have a lot of randomly generated values

like damage

[charred spoke]

ah that is different, serializing the values and sending them over will work here then, but just the values, not the whole object. Client can reconstruct it on his side

[topaz mortar]

yeah

serialize is just putting them in their own dictionary right?

[misty coral]

When trying to use OnTriggerEnter with rigidbody on both the player and the platform, it is very glitchy, and I fall off the platform alot even when the platform is going across flat ground

why does this happen?

[topaz mortar]

Maybe you need OnTriggerStay? if that's the correct name

OnTriggerEnter only triggers once

[cosmic dagger]

OnTriggerEnter indicates the platform or the player is an area/zone that you can pass-through . . .

falling through the platform makes sense . . .

[misty coral]

What do you mean to pass-through

[cosmic dagger]

objects are meant to pass-through trigger colliders . . .

you can enter and exit a trigger collider. basically, it's an area that triggers when smth has entered or exited . . .

a regular (non-trigger) collider cannot be entered as the object stops when touching it, like, walking into a wall . . .

[loud mango]

i can created a script where it will generate random numbers from 1-5, depending on the output, it will generate an enemy on the number generated. For example if the number generated is 3 then it will spawn an enemy on spawner 3.

It worked completely fine although when i instantiate the enemy model, i have an error in navmesh.

Error : ```"SetDestination" can only be called on an active agent that has been placed on a NavMesh.

[exotic hazel]

Will someone help
This code is not running

public class ColorTransition : MonoBehaviour
{
public Material CurrentColor;
public Color[] colors;
public int Index = 0;
public float time;
void Start()
{
StartCoroutine(ChangeColor());
}
void Update()
{
    

ResetIndex();
}
IEnumerator ChangeColor()
{
    yield return new WaitForSeconds(3f);
    CurrentColor.SetColor("_EmissiveColor",  Color.Lerp(CurrentColor.color, colors[Index], time  * Time.deltaTime));
    Index +=1;
}
void ResetIndex()
{
    if(Index >= colors.Length)
    {
        Index = 0;
    }
}

}

Theres no error

wait time was set 0

It still doesnt work

[loud mango]

umm did u fill all the vars and added the script and stuff

[cosmic dagger]

which part of the code doesn't work?

[exotic hazel]

the color.lerp i believe
the emmision color never changes

[exotic hazel]

yep

[cosmic dagger]

all of those colors have no alpha . . .

also, the third parameter for Color.Lerp is used incorrectly . . .

it should animate from 0-1 over time . . .

in the coroutine, Lerp is only called once and Index is added once . . .

[loud mango]

help me with my problem too

i can created a script where it will generate random numbers from 1-5, depending on the output, it will generate an enemy on the number generated. For example if the number generated is 3 then it will spawn an enemy on spawner 3.

Why is this creating an exponential amount of objects in my game?

[loud mango]

the code doesnt seem to have a problem but sure, https://pastebin.com/RYJUxjhV

[exotic hazel]

In the error it tells theres a problem in enemymain scripts at line 32 and 46 try seeing those lines

[loud mango]

https://pastebin.com/RXX9RHqy

i saw the script but i dont see any error

[rich adder]

the enemy probably spawning too far from navmesh

[loud mango]

ooo

but the thing is

when i use enemy as prefab to spawn them, it doesnt work cuz the player needs to be a prefab too and then the prefab doesnt detect the player

so i thought of keeping a enemy out of sight outside the map and instantiate it inside the map

[modest dust]

Why not just pass the player instance into them as they spawn.

[loud mango]

idk how to do that

like what would the script look like

i am trying to make a game without watching any vids

[modest dust]

You spawn them at some point via Instantiate. Make a method, lets say void Init(GameObject player) and call it on the instantiated enemy to pass the player instance.

[rich adder]

https://unity.huh.how/references/prefabs-referencing-components

[loud mango]

ooooooooooo

i see, i will try to do that rn

thanks

[loud mango]

so the player doesnt have to be prefab here right?

[rich adder]

you only have one player anyway no?

[loud mango]

yeh

i thought of making multiplayer but then it was too complicated

so maybe later

[rich adder]

so yeah, either way if you were to spawn player. same concept applies

the object is created from the scene

[loud mango]

oo ohki

thanks

[whole idol]

Yo guys, check this out why is my game creating so many new obstacles at an exponential rate so fast? it looks as if its creating very fast and my code doesnt slow it down at all.

[loud mango]

i am not understanding anything here ;-;

[loud mango]

have u add a timer?

[summer stump]

Does the obstacle have a script that creates obstacles?

[loud mango]

fbruh

[summer stump]

Also, make that a prefab instead of instantiating from the thing you're about to destroyed

[rich adder]

how

[loud mango]

the link

[summer stump]

Oh wait. That IS the prefab?
You aren't caching the instance you instantiate

[loud mango]

idk how do i put it in my code

[rich adder]

break down the logic into smaller bits

try understand what the code even does

[whole idol]

what do you mean?

catch it ? its not a baseball, how am i supposed to catch it?

[summer stump]

i said CACHE

[whole idol]

oh

what do you mean cacheing it?

[summer stump]

GameObject newInstance = Instantiate

You store the thing you create

[summer stump]

Please just do screenshots instead of videos

[cosmic dagger]

storing the instance (instantiated object) in a variable . . .

[whole idol]

erm... acthually it's not a variable, it's stored inside a method

void cloneInstantiator()
    {
        Instantiate(whatIstoBeDestroyed, pipeSpawnVector, transform.rotation);

this is a method right?

or am I crazy?

😛

[cosmic dagger]

we're telling you to store it in a variable . . .

[summer stump]

You are not storing the reference that Instantiate RETURNS

[whole idol]

ohhh i gotcha

[whole idol]

why tho?

[summer stump]

To destroy it

[whole idol]

method is good enough, no?

[summer stump]

No

[whole idol]

oh okay, so if its inside of a method you can't destroy it?

wow okay

[summer stump]

No, not even close to what we're saying

You need a reference to the thing you want to destroy

[whole idol]

then what am i storing?

[summer stump]

You don't have one

[summer stump]

Instantiate creates a new object, right?
You are storing a reference to THAT object

[cosmic dagger]

the method has nothing to do with this . . .

[summer stump]

WhatIsToBeDestroyed is actually something you should NOT destroy
It is NOT the thing you instantiated

[whole idol]

thats correct, i am supposed to be doing that, no?

[modest dust]

You're destroying a prefab or whatever is stored there

Instantiate returns a copy

Save that into a separate variable

[summer stump]

Yes you are supposed to, and you are not

[whole idol]

ok so i need a new variable then to make a reference to the new clone objects?

[summer stump]

Yes

[summer stump]

Your conditionForProcreation is apparantly always true, because you are checking the wrong object

Which explains the super fast spawning

And also nothing being destroyed

}

ok, so I created a new name for that thing I wanna instantiate

now you were saying I need to refer to the new clone right?

on destroy?

ok i gottit

[summer stump]

You wrote GameObject in front of newClone. So it is a local variable you cannot access elsewhere

[whole idol]

imma make it public then

[summer stump]

You need to make it a class variable

[whole idol]

thats easy to fix

[summer stump]

Nope

Cannot do accessors in methods

Just declare the variable in the class

[whole idol]

how am I gonna make an Instantiate method into a class?

I can make cloneInstantiator() into a class

that I can do

[summer stump]

Not what I'm saying to do at all

[whole idol]

and then inside of that call the Instantiator

[whole idol]

ok

[summer stump]

I'm saying make a variable in your class right here
Assign the instantiate return TO that variable

[whole idol]

so make cloneInstantiator() a class

[summer stump]

Again NO

[young smelt]

Excuse me mysql database isn't creating on my phone. It has been working but recently stopped for no reason. It creates when I test on PC though

Here is my code: https://paste.ofcode.org/K536rFAfy2VeCkBQhssfC9

[modest dust]

Dear Lord almighty

[summer stump]

No new class. Make NO NEW CLASS

[modest dust]

I'm surprised you managed to write the rest of the code if you cannot understand something so simple

[whole idol]

what do you mean?

[summer stump]

I have no idea how to explain it simpler

Make a variable.

Inside your class

Not in a method

[whole idol]

you mean this class?

[modest dust]

private GameObject m_clone;

void cloneInstantiator()
{
  m_clone = Instantiate(whatIstoBeDestroyed, pipeSpawnVector, transform.rotation);
}

private void Check()
{
  ...
  Destroy(m_clone);
}```

[summer stump]

Sorry. I did misread that. Yes it would be in that class

[whole idol]

ok thanks... fun fact, it's still creating millions of objects btw.

[summer stump]

Yes, I told you why

Your condition you are checking

It is likely still pointing at the prefab, right?

[whole idol]

yes

[summer stump]

ConditionForProcreation

Well yeah, that will always be true

I mean, the check should be a timer anyway, not the position check you are doing

I gotta go to bed though. Best of luck

[young smelt]

please help me with this first

[loud mango]

i found the solution, i just had to bring the spawn points near the ground so that it is an acceptable drop height and it can detect the navmesh

[whole idol]

ok I remove the check for position condition and right now I am only using the timer, so as you said I gotta remove the pointer that always points at the prefab that always returns true right? so that means that I gotta remove the

public GameObject whatIstoBeDestroyed;

and replace it with what exactly? m_clone?

m_clone is down there by the way, I just changed that according to the direction that @caesar has provided

Move m_clone to the top, no reason for it being down there

your condition for procreation still uses the whatIstoBeDestroyed prefab

[modest dust]

Show your current code and if there are any errors

[whole idol]

bool condition_for_procreation = ((m_clone.transform.position.x+0.5) <= (DestroyWhenReachesThisXPosition));

it's no longer pointing to the old prefab thing

[whole idol]

this is the current code

[modest dust]

Alright

Did you save your script?

[whole idol]

yep

ctrl+s

Maybe this public GameObject has to go?

but then there will be no initial clones to be cloned after

[modest dust]

A question first, since I wasn't here since the beginning of your issue - should there be only one clone at all times?

[whole idol]

there should be always one clone, yes

[last spindle]

Hello!

[modest dust]

Then simply move your spawn logic to the timer check, or the other way around, the destroy logic into the position check, because right now the timer check could possibly destroy the clone when later you want to check its position (it's already destroyed so you're gonna be greeted with an error), thus the instantiation should most likely take place right after destroying the previous clone

[languid spire]

which is why I linked you to the code learning site for C# which Unity uses

[last spindle]

Okay, but here I have many options which I choose from all to start

[modest dust]

Are there any errors?

[whole idol]

by the way timer is stuck at 0.02

this is one thing that is very sus

and not expected this to happen

no errors at all

at least not being detected on the terminal

[modest dust]

In the Unity console

[whole idol]

oh wait

yeah

[languid spire]

If you cannot read the website and make a decision on which is best for you you will not go far

[modest dust]

Yeah, then fix that error

If there's an exception in a component, it will deactivate itself if I remember correctly

Thus the timer is no longer updated

And as I said earlier, you're trying to access a destroyed clone

You have two separate checks

[whole idol]

how is it being destroyed if nothing is showing up in the first place?

[modest dust]

(destroyed or null)

Either way, instead of doing two separate checks (timer and position), make just one instead

If there's supposed to be only one clone at a time then decide whether you want to use the timer or position

[loud mango]

is this the same problem rn?

    void cloneInstantiator()
    {
        m_clone = Instantiate(whatIstoBeDestroyed, pipeSpawnVector, transform.rotation);
    }
}

[modest dust]

Because right now two things can happen.

1. Your timer reaches when_timer_should_stop and makes a new clone, thus leaving the previous clone to be forgotten for eternity, yet still active in the scene (that's why you had a ton of them earlier)
2. Your position condition is met and the clone is destroyed. But the timer still didn't reach when_timer_should_stop so there is no new clone and you're greeted by an exception the next time you want to check the position.

[modest dust]

Why do you destroy whatIstoBeDestroyed (also, rename it to "pipePrefab" instead to avoid any confusion for yourself and others)

Also the old clone should be destroyed first, and then call cloneInstantiator() to make a new one

[cunning rapids]

Learn c#. But beware that this has a huge learning curve. If you've never even touched programming before, learn the basic principles first before pursuing a language like c#

[loud mango]

i have another simple timer for you if u are intrested

its 4-5 lines

[modest dust]

First he has to understand what he does

[loud mango]

oo

idk the whole issue here, i just read the code and suggested

[modest dust]

No worries

[whole idol]

it doesnt look like it makes any new clone

[loud mango]

Seisan

[whole idol]

it didnt destroy it either

[loud mango]

what are u trying to make?

[modest dust]

First fix your code so the error doesn't show up and then show the current code

[whole idol]

crappy bird ( for training )

[loud mango]

oo

[loud mango]

bruh then why are u doing all this

[cunning rapids]

Bro what 😭🙏

[loud mango]

just give ur player a constant velocity in one direction and make him add rb.force at his feets everytime the player presses space

[cunning rapids]

That's literally it

[loud mango]

yeh

[whole idol]

yeah but what about the pipes

I want clone pipes

[loud mango]

listen

[cunning rapids]

I don't even think you need to animate anything as well since rigidbody rotations handle all of that well

[loud mango]

how are u detecting that the pipe has exited the screen

[cunning rapids]

Object pooling. If he collides with the pipes, game over

[whole idol]

I did add rigidbody on the body of the player

and a gravity script

thats it

but the pipes have no rigidbody

I did give them rb 2D but didnt do anything

[loud mango]

then dont need to have one

[cunning rapids]

You don't need a gravity script with rigidbody...

[whole idol]

the player just goes straight through them

also tried mesh collider

[loud mango]

dude

u are making a 2d game not a 3d

mesh colliders are for 3d models

[cunning rapids]

What mesh bro this is a 2d game

[whole idol]

oh okay

[loud mango]

just listen to me

[cunning rapids]

Use 2d box collider

Ol reliable

[loud mango]

delete the project, make a new one

add a cube

make it jump and move in one direction constantly

dont add any sprites or something like that

it can be done later

and try to make different folders for everything so u make it clean and organised

something like this

[whole idol]

its super clean right now

[loud mango]

ur variables are too long for me and it confuses me

i get it that its for clear understanding

then try writing a new script

that does everything

dont delete the old script,

reference them in ur new script

[whole idol]

by the way

my bird does have a sphere collider

is that good?

[modest dust]

That's for 3D

[whole idol]

and IsTrigger

[loud mango]

dude

thats for 3d

[whole idol]

ok

[loud mango]

just search " collider " and everything that says 2d will work

what video are u referencing?

[cunning rapids]

A sphere is a 3d object

[loud mango]

dont use IsTrigger,

[whole idol]

https://youtu.be/XtQMytORBmM?si=7IuOD9ZqEnjhIaE5

[loud mango]

goto brackeys

he is the god

idk how to spawn the piller cuz have never made a flappy bird, but the player controller script that u made is really confusing and complex for a simple task

[modest dust]

His current setup is alright, and this has gone far beyond the original problem

[swift elbow]

no not brackeys

[modest dust]

Do not watch brackeys, yes

[loud mango]

why

super old and mostly buggy tutorials

show ur movement code

}

the movement code is not that scary

[loud mango]

yeh

[cunning rapids]

Also for a game like flappy bird, object pooling is a far better method than instantiating and destroying the pillars constantly

[modest dust]

Obviously, but that's another issue

First he has to make it at least playable

[cunning rapids]

Fair enough

[cunning rapids]

Move left?

[whole idol]

oh fuck, it finally works perfectly

[loud mango]

i suggest making a 2d movement showcase if u think the pillars are confusing af

[loud mango]

nice

[modest dust]

Infinite scroller, the pillars and background should move, not the player

[loud mango]

ooooooooooooh i remember that

[cunning rapids]

Ah so he's moving the background, not the player

Makes sense

The player should just have a jump script then

[loud mango]

makes sense

[modest dust]

Thank god, now I'm going back to my own work, good luck with the rest

[loud mango]

lol

same

[whole idol]

This smooth movement feels more satisfying than sex.

I love it

😄

epic

[loud mango]

nice

just ping me if u need help,

[modest dust]

Or me, to avoid making a new project as he suggested

[loud mango]

yeh

u will just think of quiting making games if u are burnt out thats why

[cunning rapids]

Do you wanna start with the player movement or the random pillar height?

Player movement is really easy for flappy bird btw

I can help

[whole idol]

sure, random pillar height

[loud mango]

me too if u wanna make a 2d platformer

[whole idol]

I can make that on my own btw im just kind of slow

[cunning rapids]

I'd suggest movement first

[whole idol]

okay

[cunning rapids]

It's easier to implement

[modest dust]

Would be good if he tried to figure it out by himself, but do it however you want

I'm going back to work, cya

[whole idol]

movement of what exactly?

[cunning rapids]

That's fair, but I can try guide him along

[loud mango]

me too, bye

[cunning rapids]

Not exactly gonna give him the answer in a cheat sheet

[cunning rapids]

Player

[loud mango]

what type of game are u working on?

[cunning rapids]

Yknow, you gotta jump and have gravity and stuff

[whole idol]

i got it

give me 1 min

[cunning rapids]

Try make something yourself and show it to us

[hexed terrace]

Would be best to make a thread for this now

[modest dust]

pixel art Bullet Hell space shooter, pixel art story-driven RPG on the side

[cunning rapids]

If you have any questions feel free to ask

[loud mango]

ooooo ohki, good luclk

flash, what game are u working on?

[cunning rapids]

Oh damn I tried making a game like that before but i sucked at pixel art at the time 😭

[cunning rapids]

Hack-n-slash

[loud mango]

i still suck at it 😭

[loud mango]

oh nice

[modest dust]

I suck at pixel art too, but thankfully I now have a friend who does wonderful arts for me

[loud mango]

i am kinda stuck and not stuck

[cunning rapids]

Maybe add roguelike elements in the future but nothing huge as for now

[loud mango]

i can find 3d models online but they are either paid or not good enough

[cunning rapids]

I just learned how to make my own based on references but I can't make up a piece myself 😭

Kinda like in 3d modeling, you know how to make a gun hut you need a reference to actually do something

[loud mango]

i have a small list to add today........... farming, wave spawning, new gun

[cunning rapids]

Agreed

[loud mango]

lol

[modest dust]

Visuals are one thing, gameplay is another. One rule when making a game by yourself is make the gameplay and visuals separately. You cannot get stuck on gameplay if there are no visuals. Just use placeholders and focus on gameplay

[cunning rapids]

I work on visuals last personally

[loud mango]

i am focusing on gameplay cuz my graphics are literally beans and cubes

[modest dust]

At work, when making a game in UE5 for most of the time we were using basic placeholder models and the proper visuals came last, just around a month ago. But the gameplay was pretty much done by that point.

[loud mango]

can someone join a vc, i wanna show a problem i am having. i cant understand what's causing it

[cunning rapids]

I don't know what style would flow well with the mechanics until I actually finish with the mechanics, yknow?

[loud mango]

same

oh god there are no vc in this server

[cunning rapids]

Yeah but it's hilarious to see placeholder textures left in by devs in your favourite game. Making tf2 maps, you'd be able to see a slime texture that's just a neon green bsckground with "Slime" typed in the center

[loud mango]

i have some problem

when i play the game in unity editor, my gun shoots fine

but when i build and play its like it misses the shots even tho there are no features like it

[whole idol]

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

public class Gravity : MonoBehaviour
{
    public float speed = 4f;
    void Start()
    {
        
    }

    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update()
    {
        transform.Translate(Vector2.down * Time.deltaTime * speed);

        if (Input.GetButtonDown("Jump"))
        {
            transform.Translate(Vector2.up * Time.deltaTime * 4);
        }
    }
}

no errors

but the space key doesnt do anything

neither does the up arrow

[cunning rapids]

And...?

[whole idol]

I looked at the edit>input system

[loud mango]

try using rb.addforce, its better in playing

[whole idol]

and it looks like its already configured so when you use that keyword

they are supposed to make it work that way

ok

[loud mango]

just use Input.GetButtonDown(Keycode.Space)

[modest dust]

Yeah, right now we're doing a hex-map strategy game (kinda like Civilization, but only combat with pickups) and we're using stickman figures as placeholders for our units, it would be fun if we left them there

[loud mango]

i have a problem need help

[loud mango]

here

[cunning rapids]

Interesting approach but not the best

[loud mango]

yeh

[cunning rapids]

You don't need to hard-code gravity

[loud mango]

use AddForce

[whole idol]

why squiggly red line?

[loud mango]

error

wait let me recheck

i wrote that in discord without isense

[cunning rapids]

For your game I'd suggest using rigidbody

[loud mango]

if(Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Space)){
// ur coode here 🙂
}

[cunning rapids]

No need to hard-code gravity

Unity already takes care of that

All you have to do is move the sprite forward

And jump when needed to

[loud mango]

try adding this to ur code https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Rigidbody2D.AddForce.html

[whole idol]

But rb2d doesn't have velocity?

[loud mango]

its better gameplay and physics

bruh can someone help meeeeeeeeeeeeee

[cunning rapids]

Again, rigidbody is just how unity handles physics, moving the sprite is YOUR job

[modest dust]

Well, your jump translation pretty much cancels out your gravity translation, and it only happens for one frame, when you Jump, so it's obvious you wouldn't notice.
But use a Rigidbody2D instead as other suggested

[modest dust]

It does, it's just not exposed to the inspector

[loud mango]

anyone who can come in a vc and see my screenshare, i have a confusing problem with no console errors

[cunning rapids]

The build problem?

[loud mango]

yeh

[cunning rapids]

We'd need more context man

[loud mango]

bruh thats why the vc

[modest dust]

Send a screenshot or a recording so that everyone can see, not a single person which may or may not know the solution

[whole idol]

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
using static System.Runtime.CompilerServices.RuntimeHelpers;

public class Gravity : MonoBehaviour
{
    public float speed = 4f;
    void Start()
    {
        
    }

    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update()
    {
        if(Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Space))
        {
            transform.Translate(Vector2.up * Time.deltaTime * 4);
        }
        else
        {
            transform.Translate(Vector2.down * Time.deltaTime * speed);
        }
    }
}

and why not just do this?

(space doesnt work)

[loud mango]

okei just a saec

[modest dust]

It doesn't work because of what I wrote earlier

[cunning rapids]

Because its unnecessary

[cunning rapids]

Plus with this implementation your jump would cancel out the gravity

[modest dust]

With a rigidbody you'll get a much nicer effect, with much less effort

[bold nova]

Im implementing shooting mechanic with raycasts. I have a camera on the player as a ray cast origin point. Than I shoot a raycast and if it hits anything i interpolate trail renderer from gun to hit.point, pretty simple. The problem is within direction, for some reason if i set a direction with a gun.tramsform.forward on some rotations it shoots wrong direction, but if i set direction as camera.forward it works on all rotation of the player. I don't understand how it works

    public override void Attack()
    {
        if (CanShoot())
        {
            ammo--;
            updateAmmoInterface(ammo);

            PlayShotEffect();

            Vector3 direction = GetDirection();

            RaycastHit hit;
            if (Physics.Raycast(rayCastOrigin.position, direction, out hit, _weaponInfo.Distance))
            {
                var trail = SetUpTrail();

                StartCoroutine(SpawnTrail(trail, hit));

                lastShootTime = Time.time;

                IShootable shootable;
                if(hit.transform.TryGetComponent<IShootable>(out  shootable))
                {
                    shootable.TakeBullet(_weaponInfo.Damage);
                }
            }
        }
    }

    private Vector3 GetDirection()
    {
        var vect = transform.forward;

        if(_weaponInfo.IsSpreadApplied)
        {
            Vector3 spread = _weaponInfo.Spread;

            vect += new Vector3(UnityEngine.Random.Range(-spread.x, spread.x),
            UnityEngine.Random.Range(-spread.y, spread.y),
            UnityEngine.Random.Range(-spread.z, spread.z));
        }

        return vect.normalized;
    }

[loud mango]

here is the gameplay in the editor

[bold nova]

Like it can shoot perpendicular to the player

[loud mango]

nvm sorry,

my aim was just shit

[deft apex]

What factors/fields impact a simple hingejoint object's friction and drag? Like a door consisting of a single cube shaped into a door

[loud mango]

u wanna add drag?

to ur door?

[deft apex]

I want to remove it all

But for some reason some stays

And idk why

[loud mango]

add a rigidbody and set its drag and angular drag to 0 and turn off gravity

idk if it will work 100%

is there any channel to advertise a small team or something?

[bold nova]

I guess it has something to do with children - parent rotation but Im not sure

[loud mango]

oh

me too

let me check ur error

i dont have the spread feature tho

so its like

idk how to explain it

i had the same problem

[lunar carbon]

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

public class score2 : MonoBehaviour
{

    public TMP_Text highscore;


    // Start is called before the first frame update
    void Start()
    {
        
        if (Timer.elapsedTime > Timer.bestTime || Timer.bestTime == 0)
        {
            Timer.bestTime = Timer.elapsedTime;
        }
        highscore.text = highscore.text.Replace("New Text", "Highscore is" + (Timer.bestTime / 1000) + " sec");   
        


    }

    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update()
    {

        
    }
}```

how do i save the lowest time to timer.BestTime

sorry

[topaz mortar]

@charred spoke this is exactly what you meant right?

Dictionary<int, List<Dictionary<string, object>>> combatLogs = new Dictionary<int, List<Dictionary<string, object>>>();

// Itemlist
Dictionary<int, List<Dictionary<string, object>>> itemList = new Dictionary<int, List<Dictionary<string, object>>>();

// Return dictionary that includes combatlogs and items
Dictionary<string, object> returnDic = new Dictionary<string, object>();

...

returnDic.Add("CombatLogs", combatLogs);
returnDic.Add("Items", itemList);

return returnDic;

Hope no one else ever has to touch this code 😅

[charred spoke]

I dont think this is wha I menat at all. Like I siad I would not send an entire dictionary of <string.object> over the network

[topaz mortar]

it gets turned into a json string

[topaz mortar]

I think 🤔

[bold nova]

I guess it has something to do with children - parent rotation but Im not sure

[topaz mortar]

I think there's a bunch of information missing to solve this problem
We don't know what gun or camera is or how they work.
You've just dumped a big block of code (which you're not supposed to) and expect someone to solve your issue for you.

Track down where in your code it's going wrong and ask for info on a single line, or better, read the docs and figure it out yourself.
Maybe someone can help you, but I doubt anyone will look at this.

[charred spoke]

doesnt matter if it's json or xml or binary. It's sending unesesarry data over the network. But if it works for you it works I guess.

[bold nova]

lol, isnt this is the meaning of this chat...

[topaz mortar]

even if all of the data in the Dictionary is relevant?
is it the structure that is adding unnesesarry data?

[topaz mortar]

#854851968446365696 the meaning is to help people when they can't fix stuff themselves
not to solve problems for someone else

making a bullet go in the right direction is VERY basic and there's probably a million tutorials on it on every possible platform (like YouTube)

[eternal needle]

Didnt see the original issue but I truly doubt all of that data is necessary.
Even just having a dictionary of int to list of dictionary of string to object should indicate to you that you're doing something wrong. The structure needs change

[timid marlin]

anyone know why i cant find "Whatisground" and "Whatisplayer" layermasks?

[strong wren]

Did you create it in project settings?

[timid marlin]

uhh how do i do that, i was following a youtube tutorial btw, didnt mention anything about that

[strong wren]

https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/create-layers.html

[topaz mortar]

Why does it indicate I'm doing something wrong?

[timid marlin]

is it as simple as typing in "Whatisground" and "Whatisplayer" ?

[strong wren]

Yes.

[eternal needle]

It's an overly complex structure. I cant imagine any case where this would be needed.
You shouldnt really use 'object' much, except for like serialization.
Using this structure is also gonna be a massive pain, and completely unreadable. You'll access something via data[int][index][string]. But then all you'll have is something of type object. Regardless of the types that are being used here, you can always split up your logic into other classes. Like it would be much simpler on the eyes if it was a Dictionary<int, SomeClass>

[topaz mortar]

but then I would still need to send that class over the network?

agree that using classes would be better

[hollow scroll]

I'm trying to do a simple skill tree for a coding asignment, but it's telling me an index is out of range. I can't find where though-

[buoyant knot]

the error should specify the line of code

look at the stack trace

[hollow scroll]

it's 27, but I'm not setting anything here I think

[strong wren]

i know this is very stupid, but how do i use a slider as a health bar?

whats the name of it

Public Slider Health; doesnt work

[hollow scroll]

(better image)

[swift elbow]

Is your p capitalized in your script too?

That's an error

[strong wren]

ah

no

its not it

it isnt

[strong wren]

public slider Slime_Health;

thats the line of code

[swift elbow]

S should be capitalized...

[strong wren]

i tried that too 😭

same issue

public Slider Slime_Health;

same issue

[languid spire]

so, are you missing a using directive?

[strong wren]

whattsss.... whats that

[swift elbow]

At the top of your script

[strong wren]

its just a slider that i tweaked a lil

[strong wren]

oohhhh

like using Slider;?

oh

using unity.ui;

[slender nymph]

make sure that your !IDE is configured so that you can use the quick actions to add the correct using directive automatically

[eternal falcon]

💡 IDE Configuration

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

Select one:

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

[strong wren]

whats IDE

like auto fill?

[slender nymph]

your code editor

[strong wren]

i use Visual Studio

[slender nymph]

you could literally just read the bot message and figure that out

[strong wren]

yeah i use Visual Studio

[slender nymph]

so get it configured . . .

[strong wren]

already have it configured

[slender nymph]

screenshot the entire visual studio window

[strong wren]

of the code?

[slender nymph]

the entire visual studio window

[slender nymph]

not configured

[strong wren]

how do you know?

[slender nymph]

it's like you didn't even bother reading the bot message

[strong wren]

i did

i clicked on the visual studio automatic thing

and i followed the instructions

[languid spire]

Dead giveaway

[slender nymph]

so then surely you saw the part about how if your IDE is not autocompleting code or underlining errors then it is not configured, right?

[lilac hemlock]

bump it up

[strong wren]

idk i saw some pics and followed thhem

[slender nymph]

did you bother reading the words

[strong wren]

i had to restart visual studios

wait why cant i say bruh?

i just said it alone and it blocked it

[strong wren]

so theres this thing called being terminaly stupid

yeah now it went from misc ti Assenbly-CSharp

[buoyant knot]

can confirm. I meet with many people with this illness on a daily basis.

[strong wren]

well you just met another

soo i still have the issue

😭

[slender nymph]

remove the incorrect using directive and use the quick actions in visual studio to add the correct one

[strong wren]

DAYUM it tells you what to do?

bruh i used to programm like 3 years ago and i wanted to learn it again

i Never had that

[hollow scroll]

I’m taking a break on this for a bit, I can’t for the life of me find where the out of range index is :,)

[strong wren]

the issue is gone btw i forgot to use the Unity Elements thing

[slender nymph]

no, that is wrong too

there is a Slider class in UnityEngine.UIElements, but it is not the one you are using

[strong wren]

Bro how 😭 even tho i dont have an error anymore i stil messed up?

[strong wren]

im using the basic slider

[languid spire]

Because Slider exists in many places, you need to chose the correct one

[slender nymph]

i know, which is why UnityEngine.UIElements.Slider is not the correct one.

[strong wren]

i just want a simple slider that if i press the button it goes down by 1 and once it hits zero it hits 10 again

[languid spire]

right, you already had the coirrect namespace so use that

[strong wren]

even i am sure thats not that hard to programm

[strong wren]

but wouldnt it then give me an erro?

[languid spire]

no, of course not

[slender nymph]

it wasn't the correct one, it was close to it though

[strong wren]

well ive never used sliders

[languid spire]

#💻┃code-beginner message

[slender nymph]

Unity.UI is incorrect

[strong wren]

but im using TMP_Pro

[slender nymph]

and that is irrelevant

[languid spire]

true

[strong wren]

doesnt it also need the ui thing?

[slender nymph]

no, the TMP_Text class is in the TMPro namespace which you did have added correctly

[supple meteor]

where can i find a tutorial how to make a car with ignition?

[rare basin]

in the internet probably

[supple meteor]

cant find

[strong wren]

yes i am using TMPro; but i tought i also need to use Unity.UI;

[languid spire]

if in doubt, go read the documentation, it will tell you what you need to add

[slender nymph]

again, Unity.UI is incorrect

[rare basin]

dont think - check docs

[strong wren]

alr so il just remove it

[rare basin]

you should configure your ide first anyway

[strong wren]

bro idk last time i programmed with unity i didnt do half of this stuff

[rare basin]

ok

[slender nymph]

don't make that everyone else's problem

[strong wren]

ok

well is there anything else that i need to add or do or can i now start programming?

[rare basin]

start with configuring your ide

[strong wren]

how are yall so patient tho?

[strong wren]

on it boss

[slender nymph]

so was this just a lie?

[strong wren]

what?

no

[slender nymph]

then it is configured

[rocky canyon]

then its already configured

[strong wren]

cooll

so im all set

[slender nymph]

yeah just fix your error

[strong wren]

i dont have any errors now

i have said it alot

[slender nymph]

do you still have the UIElements namespace added?

[strong wren]

yes

[rocky canyon]

unused namespaces will appear greyed out.. w/ a configured IDE u can hover it and it will say its unused and can be removed

[slender nymph]

cool so you only follow instructions when other people give them. good to know

[strong wren]

uhm? sure?

[slender nymph]

can someone else tell this person to remove the UIElements namespace because it is the incorrect one? since when i told them to do it they didn't bother listening

[rare basin]

please remove the UIElements namespace

[strong wren]

whats the correct one?

[rocky canyon]

hey, you need to remove the UIELements namespace b/c its the incorrect one

[rare basin]

they already said

#💻┃code-beginner message

[slender nymph]

i never actually said which one is the correct one

[strong wren]

alr have TMPro

[copper lotus]

You know what. Sebi over here has given me the confidence to move out of the code-beginner channel and into the general one

[rare basin]

learn how to use docs and how to use google properly

it'll help you a lot

[strong wren]

yeah bro, i always make people feel more confident

[languid spire]

READ. THE. DOCS.

[rocky canyon]

aka using UnityEngine.UI; is required

[strong wren]

i was using that already.......

someone told me to remove it

[slender nymph]

no you weren't

you tried Unity.UI which is not the same fucking thing

[rocky canyon]

i just got here ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[slender nymph]

nor is UnityEngine.UIElements

[strong wren]

ah ok

[strong wren]

thats interestting i heard that the docs are unrealiable

on like 2 other discord servers

but ur the boss

[rocky canyon]

c# is very verbose.. things are exactly how they look..

[strong wren]

good

[languid spire]

You heard wrong, the Docs are the only source of truth

[rocky canyon]

no one competent says docs are unrealiable 😄

[strong wren]

i like everything that way

[strong wren]

then i have been lied to

[rocky canyon]

very much so

[strong wren]

do i need to be good at math tho? i heard u also need to be superb there

[rocky canyon]

you need to know basic math... and how to google

[strong wren]

i know programming using math sometimes but u dont need to use quatorians like every second

[languid spire]

yes, you do need to at least have a good grasp of basic math

[strong wren]

i think i should leave that server, it has only given me missinformatyion

[strong wren]

i do not know basic mathamatics

[languid spire]

Vector math?

[rare basin]

just learn, read the docs, use google properly

no need to offtopic

[void hazel]

Help please, I recently found out about unity and want to download, I downloaded unity hub and entered, I clicked on "sign in" and I went to "Confirm your email" and then clicked continue, and then nothing happened except that the button turned gray and then green again.

[rare basin]

this is a code channel mate

[strong wren]

no

i keep hearing it in tutorials but i never actually know about them

[languid spire]

Time to start learning otherwise youi will get nowhere

[strong wren]

what are vectors tho?

[copper lotus]

You are meant to type that into google

[strong wren]

it tells me about an aircraft

[rare basin]

ok

[strong wren]

Quantity that has both magnitude and direction

so instead of vectors type unity vectors

instead of how to jump.. type unity how to jump

[strong wren]

how to programming jumping in unity

thats how i always do it

[rocky canyon]

yea sure that'll work

[void hazel]

Thank you

[rocky canyon]

vectors are cool af ;D

[strong wren]

pls tell me their not hgard ot learn man

bruh, basically the size and location?

[rocky canyon]

can be used as directions too

or inputs even

2 inputs together could make a Vector2

[strong wren]

so u use Vectors when u plan on making it so things change positions or size?

[rocky canyon]

(x,y)

[strong wren]

Vector 2

and Vector 3 is x y z right?

[rocky canyon]

yes, and a vector 3 is (x,y,z)

yeap.. ez stuff

[fickle plume]

The tutorial was linked right there, no need to turn public channel into rehashing it

[strong wren]

sorry

well ima go try my best to make a easy clicker game

cant be that hard?

if button pressed ++ 1 bla bla

[rare basin]

jezus just try it

and stop spamming the channel with such questions

[fickle plume]

alr father

idk why but i have a harder time working with 2d games

[fickle plume]

@strong wren There's no off-topic here either

[languid spire]

enough ffs, at the moment you are just trolling

[strong wren]

forgive me father, as i have broken the rules

[strong wren]

im just going to shut up and start doing smth

alr what are the variables again? i know what they are but i cant find the names

all i know is that string is for letters words numbers for show etc
float is for not whole numbers like 0.4 etc
bool is true or false

but there was another one for full numbers

what was it calleed again

[fickle plume]

@strong wren If you want a private tutorial session create a thread. You've been provided with tutorial materials

[strong wren]

not lookling for a tutorial looking for the a variable that contains full numbers, i cant find all the varibles on google closest i came was all but whole numbers

ima just look more

[slender nymph]

please take some time to learn the basics of c#. there are beginner courses pinned in this channel that will teach you the absolute basics of the language, including covering the built in data types

[strong wren]

i know some basics but i forgot the names

int right?

[fickle plume]

@strong wren For the last time. Create a thread if you want to continue or you'll be muted

[strong wren]

ok

[languid spire]

wtf are you searching for? 'C# numeric types' in google brings up exactly what you want to know

[strong wren]

Every C# unity variable

il just watch the video of the god himself, brackeys

[languid spire]

then you need to seriously work on your google skills (or rather lack of them)

[rare basin]

i'd say programming is not for you if you cannot figure it out what is a variable in 2024 using internet. It justs gets "harder", sorry

[strong wren]

i know what variables are

i just forgot the names of some

[hard lodge]

[slender nymph]

those are data types that you have forgotten. not the "names" of variables

[hard lodge]

Lol

[strong wren]

yep now i remembered that its Int,

[slender nymph]

#💻┃code-beginner message

[strong wren]

i know what variables are. i just forgot the variable that stores whole numbers and that is INT

[scarlet skiff]

I have a bunch of spawners with their own type of spawner script, but i wanna add an interface... how do i implement it? do i make a new script where i define the interface then give that script to all the spawners or?

[burnt vapor]

Can I ask what makes you want to use an interface? Perhaps you want an abstract class?

[slender nymph]

you know what variables are, yet you keep confusing variables with their data types. seriously take the time to actually learn instead of assuming you actually still know

[rare basin]

you have to be either trolling at this point or you are just not a smart person tbh, not being rude

[strong wren]

[hard lodge]

Lol

[hollow scroll]

why are you guys still going on about this 😭

[fickle plume]

@hard lodge This is not a place for random reaction messages

[fickle plume]

Make sure you are using them for intended purpose. Interfaces are used to reference and create common methods for objects originated from different classes. If your prefabs from the same group, you might want to go with common inheritance grouping instead #💻┃code-beginner message

[scarlet skiff]

its kinda of hard to explain... its for this, the Ienumerator is not correct

[slender nymph]

you probably just want a base class that they all share for that

[burnt vapor]

Yes, so abstract class

[scarlet skiff]

depending on what this SpawnerController wnats to spawn, it would access the spawners script, and find a Spawn() method in there, and run it

[rare basin]

simple inheritance with abstract BaseSpawner class

[slender nymph]

also those nested dictionaries are horrifying

[rare basin]

yeaa

[scarlet skiff]

ugh... i guess one thing at a time

so a shared parent class?

[rare basin]

do you know what's inheritance? @scarlet skiff

abstract BaseSpawner : MonoBehaviour -> ProjectileSpawner : BaseSpawner

and make some kind of Spawn() function which you will override in your classes

[ivory bobcat]

An immediate solution would be to pass a delegate rather than the specific spawn type and have it be invoked in the coroutine.

[oblique herald]

Hi guys...
Currently I have these line of code to detect collision if player goes to a vault, an UI prompting user input will pop up, however my UI doesnt show up, yet it prints Vault UI Activated. Any idea why and how to fix it?

    private void OnCollisionEnter2D(Collision2D collision) {
        if (collision.gameObject.tag == "Player") {
            vaultUI.SetActive(true);
            Time.timeScale = 0;
            print("Vault UI Actived");
        }
    }

[slender nymph]

unrelated to the issue you described, but you should be using the CompareTag method rather than string equality when checking tags

but also are you perhaps doing something like fading your UI in? or literally anything at all that depends on the time scale?

[oblique herald]

tbf I just copied this collision thingy off some yt videos, some theres that
in addition no I just setactive to true, no animation

[ivory bobcat]

Check it's active state in the hierarchy, it can be inactive due to an inactive parent.

[oblique herald]

Panel is the vaultUI (sorry for bad naming, doing it in a rush)
By this sense is the parent Canvas? cuz its active :<

[ivory bobcat]

In play mode when you activate the object, is the object activated in the scene hierarchy?

[hexed terrace]

There's nothing there called vaultUI

[oblique herald]

public GameObject vaultUI; i reference it

[deft apex]

it keeps slowing down even with drag and angular drag 0 and gravity off, i don't get where the slowing down is coming from

[hexed terrace]

I see now, gotcha 👍

[oblique herald]

nope

[hexed terrace]

these icons shouldn't be visible.. unless they're enabled OR the mouse cursor is over this object in the hierarchy

but, thinking about it.. that only hides the object in the scene view... ignore

[strong wren]

hey its me again

[ivory bobcat]

Change your print to this cs Debug.Log($"{vaultUI.name}'s active state was set to true", vaultUI);Maybe you're referencing the wrong object.

[oblique herald]

Panel' active state was set to true
UnityEngine.Debug:Log (object,UnityEngine.Object)
vaultTip:OnCollisionEnter2D (UnityEngine.Collision2D) (at Assets/Script/vaultTip.cs:26)

wheres the s

[strong wren]

{
    public int DMG = 1;
    public int Coins = 0;
    public TMP_Text CoinCounter;
    public Slider SlimeHealth;
    bool isDead = false;

    public void DmgSlime()
    {
        SlimeHealth.value =- DMG;
        if (SlimeHealth.value == 0)
        {
            isDead = true;
        }
    }

    public void AddMoney()
    {
        if (isDead == true)
        {
            Coins++;
            CoinCounter.text = Coins.ToString ();
            SlimeHealth.value = 5;
        }
    }
}```

[ivory bobcat]

When you click the log in the console, which object is highlighted?

[strong wren]

so the issue is when i click on the Slime it sets the value of the slider to 0

which shouldnt happen since i manually set the dmg to 1 which u can see and the health is 5

[ivory bobcat]

Edited @oblique herald

[oblique herald]

my Vault sprite ithink

[ivory bobcat]

Try it again with the updated code and see which object is highlighted

[strong wren]

there is also the issue where it would not reset the healthbar nor add the money

[oblique herald]

Panel's active state was set to true
UnityEngine.Debug:Log (object,UnityEngine.Object)
vaultTip:OnCollisionEnter2D (UnityEngine.Collision2D) (at Assets/Script/vaultTip.cs:26)

Now its highlighting Panel

[ivory bobcat]

It should be an object in the scene and not a prefab

[oblique herald]

oh yeah that what I meant sorry

[strong wren]

which i assume is cause of the glitch or i frogot to do smth, i set the button/slime if its used to call on DmgSlime

[ivory bobcat]

Is the panel active?

[strong wren]

idk why im explaining the code yall know alot more then me
