[oblique herald]

still no :/

[ivory bobcat]

Active doesn't necessarily mean visible but not greyed out.

[oblique herald]

it is greyed out

[ivory bobcat]

Are you setting it inactive anywhere?

[oblique herald]

wait hold on

ok so this is even weirder now

[oak ginkgo]

Does anybody know how to animate enemies in 8 directions (2d) using A* pathfinding? I've basically made a clone of my player animations and changed it from "input values" to calculate the transform - last position in hopes that it will work, but I honestly am over my head lmao

[hexed terrace]

Debug.Log($"VaultUI is active in hierarchy - {vaultUI.activeInHierarchy}", vaultUI); is what you should test

[strong wren]

i did the important stuff, idk if thats the issue i dont think so tho, u put the kill script on the canvas

{
    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;
        }
    }
}```

theres the code too

[oblique herald]

@ivory bobcat do you mind if I put my problem in a thread to better communicate? its getting kinda complicated imo

[oblique herald]

i'll try that, give me a sec tho

[strong wren]

hm interesting, so theres a bug with the dmg output

i put it at 1 but it does infinite

and i think that causes the other stuff to break

oh nvm

the issue with the add money void i dont have a proper way to call on it

[hexed terrace]

The term is method not void

[strong wren]

sorry

is there a chance u might know whats the reason of the dmg output being infinite?

i tried a huge number and it deplets it all

[scarlet skiff]

ive looked into that but idk i couldnt figure it out

there have several suggestoins for solutions now that ive become lost.
when i watched a interface tutorial it seemed to be pretty fitting for what im trying to do but idk

[languid spire]

-= not =-

[strong wren]

THANK YOu

that was the issue

[oblique herald]

VaultUI is active in hierarchy - True
UnityEngine.Debug:Log (object,UnityEngine.Object)
vaultTip:OnCollisionEnter2D (UnityEngine.Collision2D) (at Assets/Script/vaultTip.cs:26)

[strong wren]

now im going to look for a way to call on my AddMoney Method

[scarlet skiff]

ill look up a quick tutorial about this and see

[strong wren]

or do you think i should put everything in the dmg slime method? it should work but i believe it would be a bad way to do it

[languid spire]

your code, your design

[strong wren]

what

thats the thing i dont know how to call it thru my code

[oak ginkgo]

you mean call a method?

[strong wren]

yes

[oak ginkgo]

so you'd use GetComponent<Thing>()right?

[languid spire]

why would calling one method, which you obviously do be any different than calling a different one?

[slender nymph]

you should seriously go through the beginner c# courses pinned in this channel

[strong wren]

i am calling DmgSlime everytime the slime is being used
but once the health reaches 0 i would like to call on the Addmoney Void to reset the health and 1 one coin

[slender nymph]

if you do that, you'll probably learn how to call a method, and when you learn how to do that you might realize that you can just call the method instead of using that useless bool

[strong wren]

yep i have realized that

[slender nymph]

cool. now go learn the basics

[rocky canyon]

    public void DmgSlime()
    {
        SlimeHealth.value =- DMG;
        if (SlimeHealth.value == 0)
        {
            AddMoney(); // call a function from within another function
        }
    }```

[strong wren]

its that simple?

you just use the name of the void?

sorry method

[slender nymph]

learn the basics

[rocky canyon]

most every tutorial will cover that

[strong wren]

i just made my first game with a little of help

idk if thats considred impressive here

Hello everyone, I have a problem. When I call an if block inside fixedupdate it works as I want, but it reduces FPS a lot. I want to write this in Coroutine, but this time if blocks do not work. For this reason, when I open as many coroutines as if blocks and rotate them in another coroutine, I feel like I'm doing something very stupid, and although it doesn't reduce the fps as much as the fixedupdate function, it reduces it a lot. How can I revise this code? Can you help me?

jezus

that's not pleasent to look at code

[loud mango]

i need help with a small game of mine

The PROBLEM here is that the bullets are not depleting. ik why they are not but idk how to solve it.

GUN / SHOOTING SCRIPT : https://pastebin.com/TDqsRDpq

WEAPON SWITCHING SCRIPT: https://pastebin.com/1afDWMc6

[atomic yew]

My goal is to ensure that the values ​​I want are true when the if condition is met.

[rare basin]

you know why they are not depleting but you dont know how to solve it?

wdym?

[languid spire]

to start with please put your DirilmeTF variables into an array and make a loop of the code

[loud mango]

yeh

[loud mango]

so i used a new function

that will detect when the weapon is switched and will change the magazine size accordingly

but i had to use it in update

and thats why whenever the i change the weapon, the if statements are always true and thus infinite ammo

[atomic yew]

There are 3 different code types. I wrote the explanation in my message above.

[loud mango]

        if(changeWeapon.isPistolStc){
            clipSize = 10f;
        }
    }

    void changeRifleClip(){
        if(!changeWeapon.isPistolStc){
            clipSize = 20f;
        }
    }```


``` void Update()
    {
        changePistolClip();
        changeRifleClip();
        if(Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.R)){
            clipSize = fullClipSize;
            noAmmo = false;
            rifleDMG = 20f;
            pistolDMG = 10f;
        }
}

the problems are here

[atomic yew]

Ok I will do it and come back

[loud mango]

idk what the solution can be

[frosty lantern]

hey, I want an 16x16x16 byte structure, so I declared a ushort[16][], the idea being that each byte is already 16 bits, and I want an 16x16 of bytes. I have 2 concerns:

• it doesn't let me specify that the second dimension of the array should also be 16
• can I perform bitwise operations on this structure?

[gaunt ice]

to first
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/language-reference/builtin-types/arrays#multidimensional-arrays
to second
you can perform bitwise operation on single element only

[loud mango]

i need help plsssss

[loud mango]

here is the problem

[frosty lantern]

thanks

[atomic yew]

private void FixedUpdate()
{
for(int i = 0; i < 7; i++)
{
if (TotemKoruyanlar[i].GetComponent<MaviDusmanlarScript>().DusmanM.hayvancan <= 0 && !DirilmeTF[i])
{
DirilmeTF[i] = true;
}
}
} Thisi is work

[atomic yew]

but this don't work

[atomic yew]

IEnumerator TotemTakasDongu2Cor()
{
yield return YarimSaniyeBekleme;

for (int i = 0; i < 7; i++)
{

    {
        DirilmeTF[i] = true;
    }
}

StartCoroutine(TotemTakasDongu2Cor());

}

why

Can you revise the coroutine?

[frosty lantern]

can I overload bit operations if uint[16,16] isn't technically a custom type?

[atomic yew]

Why isn't this Coroutine working the way I want it to? Can someone who knows revise it and correct me if I'm wrong?

[languid spire]

define 'don't work', that is not a very helpful comment

[gaunt ice]

no

[rare basin]

you can't directly overload operators for built-in types such as uint

unless you make some kind of wrapper for it

[atomic yew]

When I write into FixedUpdate when there is an enemy, the tick works, but when I write into the Coroutine, the if blocks work and do not activate the tick. What am I doing wrong with the Coroutine? Can someone who understands Coroutine revise this code?

[languid spire]

So how and where do you start the coroutine

sup

i still wanna thank you

u once helped me in a game dev

[atomic yew]

yes, what's wrong with this code?

[polar acorn]

You should read the bot message that came up

it tells you how to post code

[atomic yew]

I also called it inside the start function, but I'm doing something wrong, I don't know where.

[atomic yew]

Ok

[languid spire]

so show that code

[frosty lantern]

would that be something like this?

obviously not exactly

[summer stump]

No, you don't inherit from it

[rare basin]

is uint a class?

[summer stump]

You just have a variable with the type

[atomic yew]

https://paste.ofcode.org/TdUccz4ghbCESvYErXnG9D This is code

[frosty lantern]

so I just have code with a uint as a variable in it and define the overload on the class instead of the uint?

[summer stump]

I dunno what your goal is. You just cannot inherit from it

[atomic yew]

https://paste.ofcode.org/TdUccz4ghbCESvYErXnG9D this is code

[summer stump]

No need to post it twice
Also, you should generally share the WHOLE script

[frosty lantern]

the goal is to overload bitshift operators for a 2d uint array

[gaunt ice]

make a wrapper to contain the whole 2d array

[frosty lantern]

is a wrapper just a class with the 2d array in it?

as a variable?

[gaunt ice]

or struct

[frosty lantern]

struct sounds like it'd be better

[gaunt ice]

public struct Wrapper{
  Type theActualData;
}

[atomic yew]

My goal is to create a loop with coroutine and refresh it every 0.5f seconds. Thus, it will not reduce the fps as much as in fixedupdate.

My goal is to create a loop with coroutine and refresh it every 0.5f seconds. Thus, it will not reduce the fps as much as in fixedupdate.

https://paste.ofcode.org/cYyay78xXvVMdQbUaAkvCh Here it also appears in seconds

[summer stump]

Again, no need to repeat yourself. If you want to ping multiple people, use the @ sign
@atomic yew

Also, you should share your whole code

[languid spire]

ok, so you do not need the StartCoroutine in the Coroutine, wrap the code in a while (true) loop
Also you should cache the GetComponents

[atomic yew]

Can you show me how to write it? Isn't the while loop too tiring?

[languid spire]

Seriously?

IEnumerator TotemTakasDongu2Cor()
{
   while (true) {
    yield return YarimSaniyeBekleme;

    for (int i = 0; i < 7; i++)
    {
        if (TotemKoruyanlar[i].GetComponent<MaviDusmanlarScript>().DusmanM.hayvancan <= 0 && !DirilmeTF[i])
        {
            DirilmeTF[i] = true;
        }
    }
    
  }
}

And cache the GetComponents

[atomic yew]

Ok i will try it and i will write you

[frail star]

How can I get a float to count up from 0.00 to the value of a variable smooth over a period of time?

I am keeping track of a players score using a float and at the end of the level I want to have the score shown starting at 0.00 then start counting up to the value of the variable and I'm adding a star rating at certain score values

[ivory bobcat]

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Mathf.MoveTowards.html

[atomic yew]

The same didn't work again. I'm already doing almost the same thing with StartCoroutine. I turn the loop again.

[languid spire]

you still have not explained what 'didn't work' means to you, we are not mind readers
also what is this

yield return YarimSaniyeBekleme;

supposed to do?

[frail star]

to My question?

[rare basin]

i'd just use DOTween

or Lerp

[rare basin]

would be easier if you would write your code in english, especially if you want to share it in a english server

[atomic yew]

I made a game, there are animal mobs and enemy soldiers in the game. When soldiers die, I record this so that they do not immediately revive when the player enters and exits, but when their time is up. I want to keep memory of whether he died or not at the ResurrectionTF value. I can already keep it in memory, but when a character dies in FixedUpdate, ResurrectionTF becomes true. I cannot do it in Coroutine. I want to do this because Coroutine also reduces FPS. Could you look at the screenshot? The soldier died, but the Inspector also did not ResurrectTF true.

[atomic yew]

private WaitForSeconds YarimSaniyeBekleme = new WaitForSeconds(0.5f);

[atomic yew]

You are right
You're right, but the game is almost over, I can't do it anymore even if I ask him to. It will take me a week to do what you said.

[languid spire]

I cannot see how you setting a variable in an array could possibly affect the inspector

[frail star]

tried mathf.lerp didn't work , nor does mathf.movetwards

[rare basin]

it does work, you implemented it incorrectly

just use dotween, it'd be easier and with more control

[frail star]

endOfLevelCorrectPercentageDisplay.text = $"Final Score - {Mathf.MoveTowards(0.00f, correctPercentage, transitionDuration * Time.deltaTime)}";

[rich adder]

where is this even called at?

[rare basin]

DOVirtual.Float(0, correctPercentage, transitionDuration, f => endOfLevelCorrectPercentageDisplay.text = $"Final Score - {f}");

[frail star]

what's DOVirtual? do i need a namespace

[rare basin]

DOTween asset

[frail star]

this one?

[rare basin]

yup

then watch this @frail star https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y8cv-rF5j6c

[scarlet skiff]

Did i cook?

every spawner rn is like:

    }

[polar acorn]

Yes that would be the way to do that

[scarlet skiff]

i feel like almost all (not sure if all) of them still spawn at the same time, but i assume that just a matter of rng if the code looks fine

[split dragon]

Hi. I have a question: Which option would be better or does it make no difference?

[thorn holly]

Makes no difference, but bottom one can be a bit easier to comprehend

And takes less typing

All about s p e e d

[split dragon]

Ok. Thanks

I had a choice: I have 2 choices: make 1 variable: "GameObject" or make several variables, but already by components. What is the best choice and will it affect performance, etc.?

[polar acorn]

There is basically no reason to have a variable of type GameObject. You should use the type you actually want from it

Thanks

I'm trying to add a custom script to draw a radius for me, script derives from editor.

When adding to a gameobject I get an error to say it needs to derive from monobehaviour. Any ideas?

[polar acorn]

If it derives from Editor then it is not a component

and you can't attach it to a GameObject

[summer stump]

The error is pretty clear. Which part was confusing about it?

[magic galleon]

Unhelpful

[summer stump]

Well, I am genuinely asking so I can make the issue clear to you
Maybe you didn't understand what a MonoBehaviour was? I dunno, we have people at all stages of their path

[magic galleon]

on https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Editor.html~

They say "You can attach the Editor to a custom component by using the CustomEditor attribute." Which I have done but still getting error for some reason

[polar acorn]

Show code

[magic galleon]

[languid spire]

So skeletonSpawner is what you should be adding to the inspector

[polar acorn]

Looks like you're only modifying OnSceneGUI so it'd change how an object with a skeletonSpawner is shown in the scene view

So select an object with skeletonSpawner and see if you see your custom gizmo in the scene view

[magic galleon]

I see, it has worked but I was zoomed in further than the radius, I assumed it needed to be on the object to display the wire. Thank you all!

[frigid ravine]

Hello all. I'm developing a two-player game using Relay and NGO. Is there a way I can make the opposing player appear at one part of the screen. A good example is how airhockey works. A player is limited to their half of the screen. So I want that kind of mechanism. Where the opponent appears on the upper half for both players.

[rich adder]

that has nothing to do with multiplayer per se.

[oblique herald]

I have a script running this to collect user input to TMP_InputField in the input field:

    [SerializeField]
    private string password;

    public void grabPW(string input) {
        password = input;
    }

but the password doesnt store the input. any fixes?
ps: it worked before... i just dont know what i couldve changed to make it not work ..

[willow scroll]

Your password should store the input, as it's assigned correctly

[oblique herald]

yes it should, but it doesnt 😿

[willow scroll]

If your password isn't changed, consider checking whether the grabPW method is called and input isn't the same as the previous password value

[slender nymph]

have you verified that method is being called

[cosmic dagger]

make sure the method is called and log the output of both variables . . .

[oblique herald]

Debug.Log("The password is " + password); i used this to debug (not sure if good enough)
output was

The password is 
UnityEngine.Debug:Log (object)
vaultMech:grabPW (string) (at Assets/Script/vaultMech.cs:19)
UnityEngine.Events.UnityEvent`1<string>:Invoke (string)
TMPro.TMP_InputField:SendOnEndEdit () (at ./Library/PackageCache/com.unity.textmeshpro@3.0.6/Scripts/Runtime/TMP_InputField.cs:3149)

UnityEngine.EventSystems.EventSystem:Update () (at ./Library/PackageCache/com.unity.ugui@1.0.0/Runtime/EventSystem/EventSystem.cs:530)

[slender nymph]

looks like this is from the OnEndEdit event. i'd bet you actually selected the static parameter option and left it blank in the event field. you need to select the dynamic method
https://unity.huh.how/unity-events/dynamic-values

[vestal shadow]

i know how to fix this, faced a similar problem before

[south sky]

Hey guys, I have a problem. The slider component gets given a value however when the scene is loaded again the value of the slider gets reset back to its max. Anyone know how to fix?

[willow scroll]

Alright, so why don't you share the solution instead of saying you know how to fix it?

[slender nymph]

are you saving that value somewhere? and if so, are you loading it again when the scene is reloaded?

[cosmic dagger]

you have to save or store the value somewhere so you can load it . . .

[south sky]

Nah, let me get onto that. Ill store the value of the slider and load it when the scene loads

[south sky]

Cool got it

[oblique herald]

sorry for the late reply, is it this? cuz i set it up correctly (i hope)

[slender nymph]

you did exactly what i guessed you had done. please click the link

[polar acorn]

This is like the sixth time I've seen you say exactly this and then not actually give any solutions. <@&502884371011731486> can check your history. This is clearly a troll account who's wasting everyone's time

[dry sail]

hello ive never made a game before and im trying to install xr interaction toolkit but its not installing

[slender nymph]

this is a code channel

[dry sail]

oh im asorry

[slender nymph]

yeah they 100% have to be trolling. it's the dipshit guy

[vestal shadow]

the dipshit guy?

[oblique herald]

DAMN goat user love you mwuah (no homo)

[summer stump]

Yes. Also the one that called praetor a smartass. He is our crown jewel!

[slender nymph]

you know exactly what i'm referring to

[oblique herald]

since the dipshit guy is gone, can i ask if I could re-ask an earlier question that is in a thread before cuz its yet to be resolved :<

[polar acorn]

Did you change your function to the dynamic one that passes in the string as a parameter?

[oblique herald]

yuh its fixed

but not this question haha

#1230148774198775818 oh here

[proven junco]

omg man

vs and unity does not like me

I need to connect my vs every time I start unity

it is super annoying and I now I forgot how to connect them

[slender nymph]

that typically means unity is unable to write to the registry to apply the setting. close unity and the hub, launch the hub as admin, open unity, change the setting, close both, and relaunch normally and it should stick

[proven junco]

how do I change the setting

[slender nymph]

wdym? it's the setting you've had to change every time you've launched unity so that it would connect to vs correctly

[proven junco]

yeah but I havnt opended it in a week or so

so I hve forgotten

[twin bolt]

How could i change the pitch of an audio source each time it loops from script? I'm having an issue with my sfx moving audio, sounding repetitive.

[cosmic dagger]

instead of looping, have it play every time the player steps. then you can randomize the play before playing each sound . . .

[twin bolt]

I dont mean player moving, i mean moving a object.

The audio is played and looped, depending on if the objects velocity is over 0

[oblique herald]

okay another question:

    [SerializeField]
    BoxCollider2D vault;

    [SerializeField]
    BoxCollider2D itemCol;

i have two different collider, what i wanna do is when the vault is opened, i want to remove the box collider on the vault and enable the box collider for the item inside, i wrote something like this:

    private void openVault() {
        vault.enabled = false;
        itemCol.enabled = true;
    }

I put this script in the InputField, reason being I wanted to open it when the vault password was correct, something like this:

    public void CheckPassword() {
        switch (password)
        {
            case "combine":
                ChangeVaultText("Vault Unlocked!");
                openVault();
                break;

            default:
                ChangeVaultText("Wrong Password!");
                break;
        }
    }

However when i go to interact the vault, both my boxcollider2d variable were reseted to none, when i assigned it before play mode, is separating the script necessary, or is there something im doing wrong...

[wintry quarry]

nothing in this code would set the variables to None

it's probably different code you didn't share that's doing it

are you trying to assign those variables in Start or Awake or something?

[oblique herald]

Start

[wintry quarry]

why

You said you assigned it in the inspector right?

[oblique herald]

waut

[wintry quarry]

So why are you also trying to assign them in code?

[oblique herald]

wait

    public void Start() {
        vault = this.GetComponent<BoxCollider2D>();
        itemCol = this.GetComponent<BoxCollider2D>();
    }

so i dont need to dothis?

[wintry quarry]

why are you doing that

delete that

that makes no sense

[oblique herald]

i am braindead

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/854106159790686208.gif?size=64

wait so when should i assign then

[wintry quarry]

Didn't you already assign them in the inspector?

[oblique herald]

ye i know, but when would this be viable

is it just never

[wintry quarry]

Well never because both of those GetComponents would end up returning the same collider lol

[cosmic dagger]

while the object's velocity is greater than 0, you can randomly change the pitch based on the length of the audio . . .

[wintry quarry]

In this case they return nothing because you don't even have a BoxCollider2D on your object

[oblique herald]

damn, guess i need to watch more yt tutorial and learn again :/

[wintry quarry]

Do you understand what this.GetComponent<Collider2D>() means?

or what the = does?

[languid spire]

Did you read the error message?

[oblique herald]

I get it to a certain extent, but mainly because some tutorial tell me to type it so I just type it, I guess it means this variable's collider2d component? and =is equal no?

[languid spire]

Then why did you post 3 scripts, none of which are the one with the error?

[wintry quarry]

= is the assignment operator

it puts the thing on the right into the variable on the left

[oblique herald]

ah right

== is equal

[wintry quarry]

this.GetComponent<BoxCollider2D>() is a function that returns a Collider2D component attached to the same GameObject as this which is your script

[coarse viper]

Fixed thanks

[wintry quarry]

so it's just going to find the first BoxCollider2D it sees on the same GameObject as your script and put it in your variable

[oblique herald]

ohhhh hahahaha i feel so stupid now

[wintry quarry]

since you don't have ANY BoxCollider2D it will just return null

also if there were more than one, you wouldn't get to pick which one it finds

[oblique herald]

ah ok, so next time I should just assign it with public BoxCollider2D name << and put it in the inspector

[wintry quarry]

no

    [SerializeField]
    BoxCollider2D vault;```

this is completely fine

no need to make it public

you assign it in the inspector

you just don't need to assign it again in code if it's already assigned in the inspector

pick one or the other

[oblique herald]

I gotchu :> thanks for the quick tutoiral my guy

[south sky]

How do I disable a collision detection method when there is a trigger detection method, or should I just find another way becuase I have overlapping colliders

[summer stump]

You can disable the collider. Or put a bool in OnTrigger that does an early return when false

if (!checkTrigger) return;

[south sky]

Bet

Thanks man

Hey, so I'm having some issues to remove a hero/gameobject from a slot. the adding of hero works fine but I just don't know what might be the error since I'm getting no errors in unity.

Here's the code

using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;

public class EquipCharactercopy : MonoBehaviour
{
    public Transform[] heroSlots; // Array of transforms representing the hero slots

    // Function to add a hero to a slot
    public void AddHero(GameObject hero)
    {
        // Find an empty slot and add the hero to it
        foreach (Transform slot in heroSlots)
        {
            if (slot.childCount == 0) // Check if the slot is empty
            {
                GameObject newHero = Instantiate(hero, slot.position, Quaternion.identity);
                newHero.transform.parent = slot;
                break;
            }
        }
    }

    // Function to remove a hero from a slot
    public void RemoveHero(GameObject hero)
    {
        // Find the slot containing the specified hero and remove it
        foreach (Transform slot in heroSlots)
        {
            if (slot.childCount > 0 && slot.GetChild(0).gameObject == hero) // Check if the slot contains the specified hero
            {
                Destroy(slot.GetChild(0).gameObject);
                break;
            }
        }
    }
}```

I placed the RemoveHero function into the button event, but it's just not doing anything

[round mural]

is anyone here familiar with RuleTiles?
im trying to make a game with an ingame level editor and i really want to make it possible through a script to place a ruleTile (use the ruleTile brush) on a tilemap but i dont know whether that can even be done or how

[polar acorn]

First step: Make sure the function is running. Put a log in there, log heroSlots.childCount before the loop

[graceful spruce]

👍 alright, I'

ll try it thanks

[round mural]

is anyone here familiar with RuleTiles?
im trying to make a game with an ingame level editor and i really want to make it possible through a script to place a ruleTile (use the ruleTile brush) on a tilemap but i dont know whether that can even be done or how

[scenic dragon]

how do i make it possible for my character to look around

[verbal dome]

Did you look around for any tutorials?

[scenic dragon]

i shoud prob of done that first

[scenic dragon]

whenever i use this move scipt it makes me fly instead

of walking

[cinder crag]

how can i check if an animation has finished?

[scenic dragon]

can u not just start it then see?

[cinder crag]

I mean in code lol

[rich adder]

just use an animation event

https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/script-AnimationWindowEvent.html

[scenic dragon]

im incredibly new

[scenic dragon]

and slow

can i get assitance with making my character walk

[languid spire]

animationstateinfo

[rich adder]

#854851968446365696 how to post

[cinder crag]

was thinking of that but how do i detect if the event is on or off?

[rich adder]

the event happens when the keyframe is hit.
No such thing as event on and off

[cinder crag]

I'm doing something with the animation event to instantiate the weapon and destroy it

[rich adder]

so whats the problem ?

[cinder crag]

was jsut curious if there was another way but i will try it my way lolol

[rich adder]

another way of what? animation event is exactly perfect fit here..

[verbal dome]

If you know that the animation will always reach the event, then it's fine.
If the animation might end earlier then you can check AnimatorStateInfo from a script like Steve suggested.
Third option is StateMachineBehaviour.OnStateExit

[lethal bolt]

Does anyone have that straigth line before 1 on the keyboard and after Escape?

[rich adder]

thats true maybe event might not hit if in transition

[cinder crag]

Yeah I know now lolol

[rich adder]

not sure where the code question is here..

[lethal bolt]

I dont have it on my keyboard and i need to make or

[rich adder]

which keyboard style do you have?

[lethal bolt]

75%

[rich adder]

that helps nothing

keyboard have different setups

[languid spire]

which language

[lethal bolt]

I have Windows if thats what you mean?

[languid spire]

omg

[rich adder]

how is this not a troll post rn

[lethal bolt]

I got an normal keyboard

NORMAL 75% keyboard

[rich adder]

what is "normal"

[lethal bolt]

ENGLISH

[rich adder]

was that so diffcult?

[lethal bolt]

no..

[rich adder]

its above enter

[languid spire]

do you no know that each language has it's own keyboard layout?

there are many kinds of English, which one?

[lethal bolt]

I live in Norway so i didnt know if it was Norwegian or English

Don't really know

[rich adder]

european keyboard..

[lethal bolt]

Yes.?

[languid spire]

what character is above the 3?

[lethal bolt]

Like fn3 or the other symoble on the three?

[languid spire]

number 3

like shift + 3

[lethal bolt]

Then i becomes an #

[languid spire]

ok, so that is a US or international keyboard so the or is the key above the enter key with shift

[lethal bolt]

Thanks!

[hidden sleet]

oh hang on i think it might be on a different script

that'll be it, it was referring to my camera controller rather than the player which I shared above

[scarlet skiff]

is there any way to organize variables in a way so i can collapes them by clicking the little minus symbol without then being only able to access them with something.variablename

[cosmic dagger]

use regions . . .

[swift elbow]

regions are purely visual

[scarlet skiff]

so thats what it called

thanks

[wintry quarry]

For the first question - #region
For the second question - structs or classes

[scarlet skiff]

also

silly me

i meant without only able to access them with something.variablename

mb

so yea regions

[rich adder]

doo you have stack traces on those ?

[hidden sleet]

didn't grab it, I just looked at any possible script that had anything to do with aiming and found the problem there

[summer stump]

Well the errors should still be there, right?

Oh, you fixed it? Nice

[hidden sleet]

yeye, i'll probably delete the post as to not confuse people

[strong wren]

    {
        if (MerchantPrice >= PS.Coins)
        {
            PS.Coins -= MerchantPrice;
            PS.Merchant++;
            PS.DMG++;
            MerchantPrice *= PriceMult; WRONG
        }
    }```

yo

so i know the issue i know where it is located but i do not know how to fix it

i know the issue too

[polar acorn]

So are you going to actually say what the problem is or are we just gonna have to guess

[strong wren]

i cant convert a Float into an int

[strong wren]

i litterally marked it with wrong

[polar acorn]

Okay?

And what's the problem

[scenic dragon]

can i get help

[strong wren]

the line where it says WRONG that code is wrong

[scenic dragon]

with animations

[strong wren]

i need to convert a float into an int

[polar acorn]

So make it not wrong?

[rich adder]

#854851968446365696 how to ask questions

[strong wren]

and thatsn ot possible right?

[polar acorn]

Hey there we go that's a thing

[rich adder]

who says?

[polar acorn]

How do you intend to handle decimals? Rounding or truncating?

[strong wren]

well a Float is a Variable That Holds Decimal Numbers a Int holds whole numbers

[swift elbow]

so chop off the decimals

ez

thats literally all it does

[strong wren]

i cant round the decimal i want the price of the merchant to increase by 1.2% so basically MerchantPrice Times 1.2 which is Price mult

[polar acorn]

Okay, so, what do you want to do with the remaining decimals when you try to pack it into an int? Round or truncate?

[strong wren]

their not remaining decimals tho i need for it to be a decimal number

[polar acorn]

If you need it to be a decimal number why is it an int

[rich adder]

coins is intiger no?

[strong wren]

Yes

[strong wren]

The coins is the Int and The Price Mult is a float

[rich adder]

so how do you intent on dealing with end result of multiplying by decimal

if you get decimals as result

[polar acorn]

I don't know what coins has to do with this

[strong wren]

so bassically everything someone buys a merchant the price of the merchant multiplies with the PriceMult

[polar acorn]

That's not on the line your error says

[strong wren]

What if i make the Merchant price a float to? the additions in my game is mostly using whole numbers i think it should technically work

[rich adder]

You still didn't explain how you intent to handle remainder

[strong wren]

wdym by that Remainder

[polar acorn]

When you multiply an integer by a decimal, there could be a decimal remainder

In order to set an integer variable to a float value, you need to decide what you want to do with that remainder: Rounding or truncating (or floor or ceiling I suppose but those are kinds of rounding)

[strong wren]

that a i do not know, as i barely know what a decimal remainder is

[rich adder]

its basic math my guy

[polar acorn]

This is not the server to learn middle school arithmetic

[languid spire]

you really weren't joking when you said you did not even know basic math

[rich adder]

2 * 3.2 = 6.4

what to do with .4

[strong wren]

Oh

where im from we call it smth else

well we could just round it

[polar acorn]

Finally, an answer to the question I've asked like a million times

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Mathf.RoundToInt.html

[strong wren]

sorry i tought u meant to round the PriceMult which would then be roudned to 1 making the math pointless

[topaz hull]

Okay so I'm basically a full unity rookie that has just started to code a simple little remake of the game Doodle Jump and I was wondering how I would set up the camera system?

[rich adder]

Cinemachine!

[topaz hull]

Basically what I have now is a trigger box so when the player enters the camera that's locked to that object will start to follow the players movement until the player leaves the trigger

But the issue I am facing is that the camera is moving along the X axis as well

[polar acorn]

Cinemachine indeed!

[topaz hull]

I want it to be locked in the Y-axis only

[strong wren]

dont worry buddy, they are patient with me, they will be with you too

[topaz hull]

I just got cinemachine and haven't touched it way too much so I don't know it's capabilities

[topaz hull]

haha

[strong wren]

public void BuyingMerchants()
   {
       if (MerchantPrice >= PS.Coins)
       {
           PS.Coins -= MerchantPrice;
           PS.Merchant++;
           PS.DMG++;
           MerchantPrice *= Mathf.RoundToInt(PriceMult);
       }
   }``` is this how i use Mathf 😭

i dont have an error

[polar acorn]

Why are you rounding your price multiplier

[strong wren]

gimme 1 sec

[swift elbow]

just write a script that makes it so that the cameras y is based off of the players y

thats all you really need

[strong wren]

ignore that, that was indeed a stupid move

[topaz hull]

Yeah but as of now I have a scripts that basically just adds the player's movement onto the trigger box

What would I write to lock it to Y?

[swift elbow]

wdym "trigger box"

trigger box for what?

[topaz hull]

So when the player enters the camera starts to move upwards along with the player

[polar acorn]

Cinemachine

Literally has a feature that does exactly this

[topaz hull]

Really?

I haven't touched it too much

[strong wren]

thats the thing what do i do with it?

like MerchantPrice *= Pricemult = Mathf.RoundToInt(Answer)

[polar acorn]

deadzones and follow areas

[topaz hull]

Where would I find it

Oh lemme look for it

[polar acorn]

It's in the package manager

[rich adder]

@swift elbow bro really hating on a tool, its like hating on a Chainsaw

[polar acorn]

Why the two assignments in one line?

[topaz hull]

I have cinemachine but where in cinemachine would you find the deadzones and such

[polar acorn]

https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.cinemachine@2.3/manual/CinemachineOverview.html
Look at the "Composing a Shot" section

[strong wren]

idk what to do with it tho, i need to Round the Merchant price is that smth i should do in 1 line or in 2 seperate

[polar acorn]

I mean, if you have a flathead screw you're gonna have a ton of trouble using a phillips on it

[tepid summit]

i could do it without cinemachine

[polar acorn]

Yes, but why would you

you could also do it in assembly code

[tepid summit]

easier

to me atleast

[summer stump]

Cinemachine should almost just be the default camera in unity

[rich adder]

And this opinion comes from which bias exactly ?

[tepid summit]

the correct one

[topaz hull]

I can't seem to find it?

[summer stump]

Then you do not understand it well enough. It is objectively easier

[tepid summit]

nah jk

[tepid summit]

ok

[topaz hull]

Is it the one named "CinemachineVirtualCamera"?

[polar acorn]

You could also code it by carving channels into a large flat rock and pouring copper into the channels to rebuild an ALU and CPU from the ground up

[rich adder]

Oh so like the same opinions as dogs

[tepid summit]

ive justnever used cinemachine

[topaz hull]

I have a Cinemachine 2D camera

[tepid summit]

yes

[polar acorn]

That would be the camera you'd add the transposer to

[summer stump]

Then why are you even stating an opinion on it?!?

[tepid summit]

i said its harder to me

[topaz hull]

So it's the CinemachineBrain?

[strong wren]

look im doing
M * P then i need to round the answer which is still M how do i do that

how do i round the answer after the calculations are done

[tepid summit]

because ive never touched it

[summer stump]

But you haven't used it, so you literally cannot say that. If you haven't used it, you do not know if it is easier

[polar acorn]

I really don't care if you want to shoot yourself in the foot repeatedly but don't suggest other people do so

[polar acorn]

Then round M * P

[topaz hull]

Lemme google cinemachine deadzone rq

I might be able to find

[rich adder]

Welcome to my troll list .

[tepid summit]

doing something youve done many times would be way easier than doing something for the first ever time

[strong wren]

bruh do i put the calculations in the brackets?

[summer stump]

It's like saying "i've never used a hammer, but nailing nails in with my hand is easier"

[polar acorn]

No, it's on the camera. Check the link I sent and the documentation it links to

[strong wren]

Mathf.RoundToInt(MerchantPrice *= PriceMult); like this?

[polar acorn]

Pretty sure no matter how many times you try to cut a board with a butter knife you're going to do better with a saw

[strong wren]

it sitll isnt working btw

[polar acorn]

Why are you trying to assign a value inside the parameter to the function?

Do the math, then assign the value

[tepid summit]

ok

[rich adder]

I lost two brain cells reading this

[strong wren]

yeah but how do i take the asnwer and round it

[polar acorn]

Call Mathf.Round on the answer

and set your variable to it

[strong wren]

yeah and the answer the MerchantPrice but its being useed in the calculations

[polar acorn]

So use it in the calculation

then set it to the result

You are aware you can just do multiplication without needing to use *= right

[languid spire]

so what? Are you sure you've ever programmed before?

[strong wren]

yes i programmed 3 years ago but i coppied all the code

so it didnt stick

[tepid summit]

https://paste.ofcode.org/v6e5a5CQ5V6TxshraHshC9 i have these two scripts where ive set up a basic number and text system but for some reason the number value doesnt change, i am not getting any errors

[polar acorn]

Let's have a race. Fresh project, who can get a third person orbit camera working faster, you with whatever and me with cinemachine

[languid spire]

that ain't programming, so go and actually learn the basics and do youself a favour

[tepid summit]

the scripts are separated by a comment

damn

[polar acorn]

Okay, woops client updated the requirements now it's an FPS! Quick buzz convert it!

[tepid summit]

yes

[polar acorn]

So, if this object is destroyed after getting picked up, how would the text ever display anything but 0 or 1?

[tepid summit]

because i change the value before its destroyed

but i see

let me try soomething

[polar acorn]

Hm, it's a classified system, no outside code allowed! Reusing your old code could be a security risk!

[polar acorn]

yes, from 0 to 1

[strong wren]

how

[polar acorn]

Do you know what the symbol for multiplication is

[tepid summit]

i make it add 1 not go to 1

[tepid summit]

a * b

[polar acorn]

Right, and it was 0

so when you add 1 to 0

it becomes 1

[tepid summit]

correct

[polar acorn]

And then it's destroyed

[topaz hull]

Okay well now I have it following the player

[polar acorn]

so it'll never be anything but 1

[strong wren]

at this point not really, where im from we use a dot in the middle Calculators use X and programmers use *

so one of em

[tepid summit]

yes but in inspector it never changes from 0

[polar acorn]

So maybe you should look up basic mathematical operators in C#

[topaz hull]

The reason I made it with a trigger is to have it stop following the player after it leaves the trigger so if the player falls out of view the game ends

Is the are way to make the camera not go down?

[strong wren]

well i know that *= is used for multiplications

[polar acorn]

No

that's not multiplication

that's multiplication and assignment

[tepid summit]

and i dont know what to do

wait nvm

[south sky]

I have build errors within my code but I don't know how to fix them. Unity isnt giving me a reason

[polar acorn]

It'll become 1 at the exact moment it's destroyed so you'll never see the 1 in the inspector

[tepid summit]

yeah

[polar acorn]

because the object is gone

[tepid summit]

im gonna chaneg the code rq

[polar acorn]

You probably already have a collider that detects when the player falls off of the bottom of the screen, using the CinemachineConfiner, you can make that collider a boundary. And then if you make that collider follow the bottom of the camera, it'll basically mean the camera is carrying along its floor with it as it goes up

[topaz hull]

CinemachineConfiner?

[polar acorn]

https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.cinemachine@2.3/manual/CinemachineConfiner.html

[topaz hull]

Damn I missed that thx

[tepid summit]

ok so there were 3 objects in the scene

getting rid of 2 fixed it

so ill make them appear as you progress

[topaz hull]

Sorry if you already answered this question but how did I lock the x axis movement of the camera?

Isn't the deadzone now following the player as well?

[tepid summit]

dont change the x

[topaz hull]

Yeah but the player needs to be able to move on the x axis

And the camera is set to follow the player

[polar acorn]

You could either just make the entire horizontal span a dead zone so the player is never outside of it, or you could use the confiner again

[topaz hull]

I'll try the confiner

i need help

still

[polar acorn]

Did you look up how to do multiplication

[strong wren]

ive been trying with like 3 other tutorials which they do not work

[strong wren]

i cant find any, if i sea1rch

how to do basic multiplications in unity C# i get Vector3 Tutoriakls

[polar acorn]

Show your search query and results

This is not a difficult thing to find

[strong wren]

then the others have nothing to do with maths

[polar acorn]

why are you searching on youtube

[strong wren]

i learn easier with videos

[polar acorn]

obviously not

Well, since I am not a video, I'm afraid this is where my ability to help you comes to an end

tragic

have fun looking for a ten minute video with midrolls to tell you what the multiplication symbol is

[rich adder]

doing multiplications in c# has nothing to do with unity

it basic operator in c#

[strong wren]

yeah those only show me Int + int Float + float sometimes Int Times Int

but i need int times float

[summer stump]

Int * float

[polar acorn]

what

[polar acorn]

so do that

it's math

seriously

like, elementary school math

[strong wren]

i cant it tells me i cant convert an float into an int

[summer stump]

Show what you actually did

[polar acorn]

Are you trying to store the result in an int

because as we have just explained you cannot do that

[strong wren]

yes

no you didnt u just said to round it

[polar acorn]

So here we fucking are again

[summer stump]

Why do you think that would work?
Rounding to an int WOULD work

[polar acorn]

do you want to round or truncate it

[rich adder]

they said round or trucate about a dozen times..

[polar acorn]

What do you intend to do with the decimal after the multiplication

[strong wren]

round it but HOW
yes by using Mathf.Round but what do i do with it?

[polar acorn]

And they actually answered me once and I sent them the link and now we're back in the fucking building again

[polar acorn]

you do the math

then round it

then store it in the int

[summer stump]

Put the thing you want to round in it?

[rich adder]

Mathf.Round returns a float thats been rounded

[strong wren]

look i want to round merchantprice the int

[polar acorn]

Also, I specifically said RoundToInt

do

that

[summer stump]

And you have been told exactly how many times

Literally given the code needed

[strong wren]

when?

[summer stump]

#💻┃code-beginner message

[polar acorn]

yes but we are not videos

[strong wren]

mathf.round yeah but what do i do with it

[polar acorn]

and he's already said he won't read any words

[summer stump]

No

#💻┃code-beginner message

[polar acorn]

you give it the value you want it to round and it returns the value, but rounded

[rich adder]

generally you consult the documentation like a normal person and see how its used

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Mathf.RoundToInt.html
literally plastered with examples..

[summer stump]

You REALLY should have googled this yourself
https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Mathf.RoundToInt.html

Oh, too slow

[polar acorn]

Sorry, "Documentation"? Do you have that in the form of a 10:01 Youtube Video with stock premiere pro intro and outros blasting shitty phonk music over the guys profile pic

[strong wren]

yeah and it says this
// Prints 10
Debug.Log(Mathf.RoundToInt(10.0f));
// Prints 10
Debug.Log(Mathf.RoundToInt(10.2f));
// Prints 11
Debug.Log(Mathf.RoundToInt(10.7f));

[polar acorn]

Cool

so you know how to use it and what it returns

[summer stump]

Yes. Do you know how to assign a variable?

[rich adder]

lol too true

[strong wren]

i put the thing that wants to be rounded Debug.Log(Mathf.RoundToInt(HERE));

[strong wren]

yes

[rich adder]

Time to make an app "Documentation to MP4"

[polar acorn]

Okay, so, assign your variable to the rounded float

[summer stump]

Then do that. Remove the Debug.Log part, and assign it

=

[polar acorn]

you know how to assign a variable, and you know how to round a value to int

so what's the fucking problem

that's literally the only two parts of this line

[rich adder]

ya mate , its only gonna get harder from here . Spoiler alert

[polar acorn]

I'm not writing the code for you

you're going to have to put two thoughts together

[strong wren]

so i make another variable which is going to be rounded

[polar acorn]

Sure, if you want to. Or just put the math in the parenthesis

[rich adder]

I guess this is why microsoft has a Console app as first project being a calculator lmao

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/get-started/csharp/tutorial-console?view=vs-2022

[strong wren]

i read alot of math

[summer stump]

Perfect. You got it then.
It is saying it does not want a decimal assigned to the int.
If you understand math, you should know exactly how to handle that with the example code above

[polar acorn]

Have you learned how to multiply two numbers together?

[strong wren]

yeah i get it if im doing 2 * 1.2 thats 2.4 which is a float which cant be stored in a int

[summer stump]

Awesome

[polar acorn]

And you also know how to round a decimal number to an int now, right?

[strong wren]

im still a lil stuck

[polar acorn]

what do you have so far

[summer stump]

Ok, so you have a variable that takes an int

You have a float you want to assign to that variable

You have a method that rounds a float to an int

Which part are you struggling with?

[strong wren]

yes and i know how to round it

[strong wren]

idk how to get the answer

wait leme explain it a lil more

Mathf.RoundToInt(10.0f) like thats what i use right cool math, i need to somehow tell my code to put the answer Mathf.RoundToInt(HERERE!!!)

[summer stump]

You just did though

10.0f

I don't get it

[strong wren]

not really its roudning it to nothing

[slender nymph]

remember how it was suggested to you multiple times to go learn the basics of c#? you should probably do that so that you'd understand how to use variables and pass them as arguments to methods

[summer stump]

Incorrect, you just have to assign the result

[strong wren]

ok!

[summer stump]

Variable = Mathf.RoundToInt(floatIWantToRound)

[strong wren]

ok ok

[summer stump]

This was given to you before

[strong wren]

leme try smth

[polar acorn]

Are you trying to pass the asnwer to the function?

That's not how, like, logic works

[strong wren]

i dont think that happened i keept asking what do i do with Mathf.RoundToInt(10.0f) and nothing was given

[summer stump]

I personally told you = twice

[strong wren]

well im putting the answer in the brackets

[polar acorn]

And when we asked if you knew how to assign a variable, you said yes

[summer stump]

And saw others say it too

If you lie (even unknowingly) about knowing something, we won't know to explain it more

[naive lion]

    {
        yield return new WaitForSeconds(delay);

        while (true)
        {
            if (EnemyHealth.count == 0)
            {
                _enemiesLeft = true;
                StartCoroutine(DelayRoundIncrease(roundDelay));
                yield break;
            }
        }
    }```
Anyone know why this coroutine is making my Unity freeze and crash.
It is called once:
'```            if(_toSpawn >= state)
            {
                StartCoroutine(EnemyCheck(4));
                yield break;
            }```

[languid spire]

this tells you all you need to know

[summer stump]

You don't yield in the while loop
Only in the if

[polar acorn]

If EnemyHealth.count is not 0, there's no yield, so it will loop forever

[naive lion]

oh yeah you are right

ty

[strong wren]

yeah

[polar acorn]

Sorry Steve you aren't a video either so they don't know how to absorb any information from you

[strong wren]

ive been stuck on the same thing for like 2 hours

[languid spire]

Oh, ok, I'll just block them then because they are extremely irritating

[strong wren]

i know what i have to and i kinda know how

[rich adder]

maybe you need a better hobby lol

[strong wren]

i have to round the answer using (Mathf.RoundToInt(10.0f) but where do i put the (Mathf.RoundToInt(10.0f)

[summer stump]

#💻┃code-beginner message

I literally spoonfed you the answere here

[rich adder]

the reutrn value is the result of the operation

[strong wren]

yeah but the thing is the only float i have is the PriceMult

[rich adder]

why would you round the priceMulti..

[strong wren]

Exactly

i cant round that float and its the only float i have

[rich adder]

You are supposed to round the result

[summer stump]

By the PRICE? Right?

Like this is your game, you tell us?

[polar acorn]

Round the result of the math

Like we've said

a lot

do the math

[strong wren]

the thing is HOW do i tell the code to round the answer

[polar acorn]

round the result

store it

[rich adder]

mate if you are multiplying by a decimal, you will get a decimal most likley

[summer stump]

Variable = Mathf.RoundToInt(number1 * number2)

[polar acorn]

By putting the math in the fucking function

Pass the result

to the function

that's the float you want to round

[rich adder]

this has to be a troll post

[strong wren]

idk how to feel about you guys saying im a troll even tho im not

[polar acorn]

How many different ways do we have to literally give you the exact answer before you just fucking do it

[summer stump]

This is a bit below basics. If you don't know how to do this, I strongly suggest you go do a beginners course.
Do NOT use youtube. Use something like this
https://www.w3schools.com/cs/index.php

[rich adder]

because you've been told multiple times how to do it and even got spoon fed answer and you're like "idk how i should use it"

[summer stump]

#💻┃code-beginner message

[strong wren]

i got some good news

[languid spire]

let's see if this works

float = int * float
int = RoundToInt(float)

[strong wren]

thank you for specificly letting me know what to do with the Roundtoint

im sorry for being slow

[summer stump]

You had already been told specifically what to do with it many times
"Do the math in the parentheses" is just word form of what I wrote
"Assign it to a variable" is too

[rich adder]

the main problem is you don't understand the basic of C# because you would know that a function returns a result

if you don't care about a result, then its void

[strong wren]

you mean like void like method? or like nothing

[rich adder]

void returns nothing, in a method yes.

this one returns int, meaning you can assign the result to a variable

[strong wren]

alr well i will go to sleep, BUT before i do

    public int MerchantPrice = 20;
    public TMP_Text MerchantCounter;
    public TMP_Text MerchantPriceCounter;
    float PriceMult = 1.2f;
    public void BuyingMerchants()
    {
        if (MerchantPrice >= PS.Coins)
        {
            PS.Coins -= MerchantPrice;
            PS.Merchant++;
            PS.DMG++;
            MerchantCounter.text = PS.Merchant.ToString();
            MerchantPrice = Mathf.RoundToInt(MerchantPrice * PriceMult);
        }
    }
``` is there an issue with this code?

i keep testing it but the Text That is the MerchantCounter isnt going up

[rich adder]

the only way it would not go up is if yu have console error or something

[polar acorn]

Or something else is overwriting it after this runs

[strong wren]

i dont have an error

[rich adder]

ahh true that

[strong wren]

but its just not doing what im telling it to do

[rich adder]

maybe something is changing Merchant in update or something

[summer stump]

Is BuyingMerchants even being called?

[strong wren]

it should take 20 coins away and put 1 merchant and multiply the Price by 20%

[summer stump]

Use Debug.Logs

[polar acorn]

Try logging MerchantCounter.text after setting it and see what it prints. This will show what that value is at that exact moment even if something is changing it later

[strong wren]

lets see if the button being pressed is even being registered

[strong wren]

i can see the value of Merchants as i have it as a public INT

[rich adder]

spoiler alert it was not running

lol

[polar acorn]

That doesn't show you the exact value as of the time that code is running. That shows you whatever it is when you look at it

log it

[strong wren]

oh

alr this might sound stupid but how do i tell unity to send me smth in Unitys logs??? i only rememeber using Console.WriteLine(); when i was using console

just Debug.log()?

[outer cobalt]

i want to have multiple cinemachine cameras that i can switch to, but once my player respawns (i delete and instantiate a new clone of the player) the dupe only gets followed on my main camera which is then disabled, and the other cameras do not follow the new duplicate, does anyone know why this is happened

[polar acorn]

Remember when you were told to go and do the basic tutorials linked in the pins?

Well, that.

[strong wren]

Debug.Log(Mathf.RoundToInt(10.0f)); i see debug log its Debug.Log then

[rich adder]

why are you destroying it anyway, just reset it

[polar acorn]

Presumably, all of your other camera's are set to follow the original object that no longer exists. If you're spawning in a new copy, you'll need to go through all of them and update their follow target

[outer cobalt]

I've tried doing that before, but it just wont grab the new one

[polar acorn]

How did you do that

Show

[rich adder]

soo much less complexity if you just reset the player instead of dealing with new clones

in the long run at least

[outer cobalt]

so i should just rewrite my GameManager / respawn to instead, reset instead of delete?

didnt rlly think of it in that way

[polar acorn]

Probably

[rich adder]

imo much easier to keep track

[strong wren]

alr i thin i fond the issue

[rich adder]

and probably more performant than constant instantiate and destroy

[strong wren]

its the if statement

[outer cobalt]

cool cool cool, i'll try that, i needed to rewrite it anyway because im making a metroidvania and need to be able to keep track of it

thank you @polar acorn and @rich adder

[summer stump]

Ah, it should be <= right?

[strong wren]

bruh someone told me to do >= cause mine was wrong

yes it should have

someone said im doing it wrong tho

[summer stump]

Do you want to check if the price is LESS than coins, or MORE than?
/> is more than
< is less than

[strong wren]

i know but idk he knew how to programm whilsts i barely know crap

lets go its working

[summer stump]

https://www.w3schools.com/cs/index.php

Do this.

Then this
https://learn.unity.com/

[strong wren]

what if i just watch brackeys C# tutorial and Unity Tutorial

[summer stump]

Super bad idea

[strong wren]

how

thats like the only reason why i programmed 90% of my code alone

he explained it super well and it stuck

[summer stump]

1. brackeys specifically is really not good for beginners. They do good stuff for more advanced things, but they are not good with beginners

2. you need to know how to read docs and tutorials, so don't do videos

[rich adder]

worst c# tuts imo

[strong wren]

he tought me all i know

[summer stump]

And think of the struggle you just went through

All of that was stuff that should have been easy if he taught his course well AT ALL

[rich adder]

and it wasn't very good

[strong wren]

isnt he loved thruout the programming communituy

[rich adder]

popular != good (well not always)

[summer stump]

Not in my experience. He is near-universally panned as bad for beginners

He is thought as very charismatic and decent intermediate and advanced courses

[rich adder]

its good for picking up a feature or something to learn quickly but you should at least have fundamentals before doing so

[polar acorn]

That certainly explains a lot

[strong wren]

i got bad news

theres an issue with the math

the original price of a merchant is 20 coins but once bought it increases to 200 coins

meaning that instead of it being 24 coins as it should since its 1.2 its 220

[polar acorn]

Brackeys is a great presenter, and he is great at giving the broad strokes of systems. His code, specifically, is sloppy and usually just exists to demonstrate the topic at hand without regard towards expandability or useability and often breaks as soon as you try to do anything else

[summer stump]

That is a lot more than 120% increase

[strong wren]

that is a 220% increase

[polar acorn]

So log the numbers and see which ones aren't what you expect them to be

[strong wren]

oh no wait

like 1200% increase right:

[summer stump]

20 * 2.2 = 44

[strong wren]

ITS A BIG INCREASE

ok

number big

[summer stump]

1000%

What numbers are you actually plugging in?

[strong wren]

im just going to remove the NumberMult

i can just say 1.2f without using a variable

[strong wren]

20 times 1.2

which is 24

[polar acorn]

Did you log them

[strong wren]

wdym by logging them isnt that the console? like Debug.Log?

oh

[summer stump]

My only thought is that you are putting 1.2f in the code, but changed it in the inspector

Inspector has priority

[polar acorn]

It means the same thing it meant the last time I said to do this

[strong wren]

prob leme try to re buy the merchant as i have deleted the Float

nope

[strong wren]

kk

uhjm

wait thats quite interesting

i buy one for 20 coins then in creses to 220

then it deacreases to 29

wait but the price isnt changing tho? its a visual bug

the numbers are off, the price in the inspector is 50 whilsts its telling me that the price is 42 ingame

MerchantPriceCounter.text = MerchantPrice.ToString("Price " + MerchantPrice);

this line is giving me trouble

[polar acorn]

When does this run

[strong wren]

but why is it incorrectly displaying the number

[polar acorn]

When that line runs, it will set the text to whatever MerchantPrice is at the time

[strong wren]

i think i found the issue lol

the code is only activated oen the merchant is being bough

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

public class Shop : MonoBehaviour
{
    public PlayerStats PS;
    public int NursePrice = 50;
    public int ZoologistPrice = 50;
    public int MerchantPrice = 20;
    public TMP_Text NurseCounter;
    public TMP_Text NursePriceCounter;
    public TMP_Text ZoologistCounter;
    public TMP_Text ZoologistPriceCounter;
    public TMP_Text MerchantCounter;
    public TMP_Text MerchantPriceCounter;
    public void BuyingMerchants()
    {
        if (MerchantPrice <= PS.Coins)
        {
            PS.Coins -= MerchantPrice;
            PS.Merchant++;
            PS.DMG++;
            MerchantCounter.text = PS.Merchant.ToString("You Have " + PS.Merchant);
            MerchantPriceCounter.text = MerchantPrice.ToString("Price " + MerchantPrice);
            MerchantPrice = Mathf.RoundToInt(MerchantPrice * 1.2f);
        }
    }

    public void BuyingNurses()
    {

    }
    public void BuyingZoologist()
    {

    }
}

this is my whole code

ignore the nurses asnd zoologist

[summer stump]

Change all those prices to private. Just curious if something else is changing them

[strong wren]

its not a math bug the math is correct its displaying the wrong numbrr

[polar acorn]

Code runs top to bottom, one line at a time. You set the text, then increase the price

[strong wren]

OMG I KNEW SOME CODE EWNT TOP TO BOTTOM , i tought i was java or lua i forgot everycode does that

[polar acorn]

If by "some code" you mean all code in every programming language on the planet then yes

[summer stump]

I don't know of any code that doesn't

[strong wren]

"i tought i was java or lua i forgot everycode does that"

yes that is indeeed what i meant

[strong wren]

didnt fix it btw

[polar acorn]

what did you actually change

[strong wren]

{
    MerchantCounter.text = PS.Merchant.ToString("You Have " + PS.Merchant);
    MerchantPriceCounter.text = MerchantPrice.ToString("Price " + MerchantPrice);
    PS.Coins -= MerchantPrice;
    PS.Merchant++;
    PS.DMG++;
    MerchantPrice = Mathf.RoundToInt(MerchantPrice * 1.2f);
}```

put the counters to the top

[polar acorn]

This is the same thing

You're still changing the text before you change the value

top to bottom

[strong wren]

should i put the variables below then?

[polar acorn]

Put the code in the order you want it to run

[strong wren]

i want it to be put in a way that makes the code work

[polar acorn]

So what order would that be

Only you know what you want the code to do

[strong wren]

only god knows 🙏

[strong wren]

leme try to put the variables below the if statement

but wait

[polar acorn]

Then you've reached the end of your journey

[strong wren]

that would break the game

nvm

[summer stump]

I would put the numbers to private. If the text is changing that much then something might be changing them

And you would likely want the text to update LAST inside the if statement
You put it first, which is the opposite of what digi was suggesting before

[strong wren]

once the game starts the prices wont be set til i buy a merchant which is not possible as the prices arent set yet or it would be as i manually set them to 20

[strong wren]

sorry not the sharpest knife

you know that

wait it seemed the change smth

i wouldnt get o see 24 before

now i go to 500 before the price changes

that did smth

[polar acorn]

Just, think about it. If you write down a price on a piece of paper, and then you change the price, would the paper magically change to the new price?

[strong wren]

no

[polar acorn]

So, in your code, if you change the text and then change the price, would the text magically change to the new price?

[strong wren]

ok i get it im sorry i already put the code last

i fixed my mistake alr

@summer stump u said to put all numbers to private right?

[deft grail]

anything that you dont need public should be private, and if you need it in the Inspector you can use [SerializeField] on the variable

[strong wren]

Should i put the TMP_Text into [SerializeField] too

[deft grail]

if you dont need it public and you need it to show in the Inspector

[strong wren]

i do need to TMP text into inspector

kk

anways

do you have any clue on why my Text is displaying the wrong information sometimes?

[deft grail]

because your giving it wrong information?

it only displays what you tell it to

[strong wren]

no thats the thing

[rich adder]

prob ur not updating the text after changing values

[strong wren]

it only shows the wwonr number sometimes

[strong wren]

yeah but then why would i spike from 49 to 500?

[summer stump]

It only ever shows what you tell it to. Ever

[rich adder]

things don't just happen by themseleves, debug and find out

[summer stump]

So something is changing the numbers, you are updating the text in the wrong place, or something else is going wrong in the logic of the code

[strong wren]

thats the thing idk whats changing the value

[summer stump]

That's why we have all suggested debugging it

[strong wren]

these are the only refrences to MerchantPrice

ive only used This Variable in this script too

[outer cobalt]

@rich adder i rewrote the script, works beautifully, thank you and the other guy ❤️

[summer stump]

Do you have multiples of this script?

[strong wren]

no

all i have are these 3

[rich adder]

they mean on another gameobject in the scene

[summer stump]

Debug.Log($"MerchantPrice: {MerchantPrice}");

Put that at the beginning and end of th BuyingMerchants method

[strong wren]

wait i found smth interesting

that not supposed to be here

i mean its not changing the code as i am never clicking on the Zoologist

[summer stump]

I don't understand what you mean about the Zoologist

[strong wren]

look i have three charachters
nurse zoologist and merchant i am working on the merchants and this was on the zoologists

[rich adder]

is this like your first project ?

[strong wren]

technicaly 2nd

[rich adder]

what happen to doing like tetris or angry bird, this sounds complex

[strong wren]

its a clicker game O-O

[polar acorn]

Seems like an idle game to me

that's probably fine

just requires math

[rich adder]

oh ok

thought it was rpg.
i was gonna say different classes and abilities

[strong wren]

bro its so easy that i wrote 90% of my code and it worked with no issue

[strong wren]

no the price doesnt change

its a visual glich

[polar acorn]

Where do you set the text before this function runs

[strong wren]

wdym by set?

[polar acorn]

What is the text set to before this code ever runs

[strong wren]

the text is in the same Script as everything

[summer stump]

You are wrong. It is NOT a visual glitch

[strong wren]

[SerializeField] int MerchantPrice = 20;

20

[polar acorn]

no, the text

[strong wren]

the price is 20 as thats the defualt price

[rich adder]

make the variable a property and use only Invoke event inside the set to update UI

[strong wren]

Price: 20

thats litterally it

[polar acorn]

It took us an hour to explain multiplication I am not going to be explaining properties and events

[rich adder]

haha yeah this would be too much of a challenge

[polar acorn]

Okay, and is that consistent with what you're seeing when you start the game

[strong wren]

ok

[polar acorn]

before clicking anything

[strong wren]

yes

[polar acorn]

So, if this is the only place you're changing the text, and the text becomes incorrect after clicking on it, then the price you're setting this to is incorrect

[strong wren]

idk if this helps

[strong wren]

thats the wierd ting

it goes on for like 3 clicks as normal

[summer stump]

Did you add the debug.log I wrote for you in the two places I told you to put it?
If so, show the console when the game runs

[strong wren]

then boom 500

[strong wren]

i did

the price increased normaly

[polar acorn]

So, show the logs

[strong wren]

gimme 20 seconds i deleted them 😭

What's wrong with that? (NullReferenceException)
1 script:
public void DropItem()
{
foreach (Transform child in transform)
{
child.GetComponent<Spawn>().SpawnDroppedItem();
GameObject.Destroy(child.gameObject);
}
}
2 script:
public class Spawn : MonoBehaviour
{
public GameObject Item;

private Transform Player;

private void Start()
{
    Player = GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag("Player").transform;
}
public void SpawnDroppedItem()
{
    Vector2 PlayerPos = new Vector2(Player.position.x + 2, Player.position.y - 1);
    Instantiate(Item, PlayerPos, Quaternion.identity);
}

}

[astral grail]

child.GetComponent<Spawn>().SpawnDroppedItem();

[polar acorn]

And does that match what you see on the text box

[strong wren]

yes

for like 5 clicks

[polar acorn]

Then either child is null or it has no Spawn component on it

[strong wren]

but once i click on it with 50 coins it goes away

[polar acorn]

Now click it one more time and show this screenshot again

[strong wren]

then ti increases to 660 and then 72

[polar acorn]

Show it

[strong wren]

which is wierd

[polar acorn]

logs and text

just like the last image

you don't need to circle it

[strong wren]

to late

[strong wren]

wait how did you know i was going to do it?

[polar acorn]

because you were taking a long time to post a screenshot

[strong wren]

lo

lol

[polar acorn]

Whenever it's showing the wrong number, show a screenshot of the inspector for this text component

[strong wren]

wait i found something wierd

[polar acorn]

Wait a minute I just realized something

[strong wren]

so when i got 500 coins then i had to actually pay 50 coins when i had to pay 60 coins i had the bug with 600 coins

[polar acorn]

What the hell is this

[strong wren]

now i need to pay 103 and it shows as 11033

[strong wren]

my code 🙂

[polar acorn]

why are you using the number inside of its own format string

[rich adder]

nailed it

nice catch

[summer stump]

Dang, I saw that earlier and then got distracted! Dropped the ball
Thought process: "huh, that looks wei- oh I have to do this other thing"

[strong wren]

tbh i enjoy that yall are not screaming at me anymore

[polar acorn]

well this is a more interesting problem than "how do multiply"

[summer stump]

I don't remember that happening honestly. Just being a little short

[rich adder]

haha yeah since its string the ide doesn't throw an error lol

[strong wren]

wait so what do i do now?

[polar acorn]

It's just that occasionally, the number happens to be a valid numeric format so it applies that

[strong wren]

if i remove the 2nd Merchantprice it removes the counter

but if i delete PRICE and Merchantprice theres only THE counter

[polar acorn]

The parameter of ToString is a number formatter

You don't want to put anything in there

[strong wren]

so i dont put stuff in her if its a number formatter?
