[whole idol]

the problem is that my player will always go through them

these are my player's components

[rancid tinsel]

did you tick is trigger?

on the box collider component

send a screenshot with the components expanded so we can see if the issue is there 🙂

[whole idol]

i just did

still goes through them

[rancid tinsel]

if it wasnn't ticked before that's good

it isn't meant to be ticked

down to hop on a vc so you can screenshare it to me?

[rancid tinsel]

untick "is trigger"

[whole idol]

untick?

[rancid tinsel]

that disables "physical collisions" i guess you could call them

[whole idol]

i want them to be collidable

rock hard

[rancid tinsel]

😭

i know

but trust me

[whole idol]

aight

[rancid tinsel]

is trigger is basically to let objects pass through, but so you can still access the collision

it would be used for something like checkpoints etc

also great tutorial, thats the exact one i started with

remember to untick it for both the upper and lower pipes, as well as the player

youll have to do that to the actual prefabs down in your assets folder

so that all the pipes you spawn in have the same settings applied

[whole idol]

by the way

I just realized, they all got box collider 2D

this is a nested pipe

which has a pipes

inside of pipes there's two more nested objects called

upper and lower

[rancid tinsel]

yup

[whole idol]

inside of each of these there's an actual collider 2D as an object in the hierachy

both collider and upper/lower have colliders

[rancid tinsel]

those are the ones you need to untick it for

[whole idol]

should that be happening?

which ones?

green or red?

[rancid tinsel]

oh

as in

upper and lower have colliders

but then they also have child objects that also have colliders?

[whole idol]

Yep, i know, Im changing everything inside the prefab rn

dont worry about that

[whole idol]

yep

exactly

[rancid tinsel]

you can get rid of those child objects pretty sure

[whole idol]

okay

[rancid tinsel]

do you know the timestamp for when in the tutorial you make the nested pipes?

I want to double check what he was doing with that

[whole idol]

there is no tutorial

My source is that I made it the fuck up
https://youtu.be/uKeKuaJ4nlw (referece for that joke)

[rancid tinsel]

oh so whats the nested pipe supposed to be?

[whole idol]

yep, exactly

by the way it still doenst work

[rancid tinsel]

dont worry i understood the maxor reference

[whole idol]

I unticked the ticks

[rancid tinsel]

what was the nested pipes prefab meant to be for?

[whole idol]

uhm... I wanted to move around the rigidbody 2D thingies and I couldn't if it was on the same Gameobject layer because moving one of these components would move the entire thing along with it and i couldnt adjust it properly

but now its ggwp

[rancid tinsel]

im not sure i follow

either way, send a screenshot of the inspector for the player and the pipes

[whole idol]

erm.. i couldnt move around the rigidbody 2d bro

[rancid tinsel]

and make sure the collider values are visible

[whole idol]

moving it around would move the pipes too

and i wanted to readjust the size etc, you know

[rancid tinsel]

oh there is another way to do that

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/497874004401586176/1230768921334779934/image.png?ex=663485e1&is=662210e1&hm=a890b4c8f19550ac2a7188184019caa7c0bbb0799081e76a615d5f353eef5ebf&

see that button there

next to "Edit collider"

[whole idol]

Ohhh

[rancid tinsel]

yeah

and also if you were to resize the object the collider is on, it would also change the size of the collider

so its just a matter of making sure the collider fits on the object and you dont really need to fiddle with it anymore

[whole idol]

thats amazing

thanks for the heads up

[rancid tinsel]

but yeah send the player and pipes inspector screenshots

im assuming the issue might be an "is trigger" tick on the player collider?

but cant know without seeing

[whole idol]

yep

i unticked them all, hold on, imma show u

[rancid tinsel]

I mean the upper and lower objects

so I can see the collider values lol

[whole idol]

you can see the collider values

oh wait you mean these values?

on info?

[whole idol]

are these the values youre looking for?

[rancid tinsel]

yes

that checks out

what about the player?

[whole idol]

what exactly are you looking at here?

I even added a sphere collider on top of the player

and turned on all the is Trigger

also, still nothing happens, no collissions

[rancid tinsel]

you're meant to turn off the is Trigger

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Collider-isTrigger.html

"A trigger doesn't register a collision with an incoming Rigidbody. Instead, it sends OnTriggerEnter, OnTriggerExit and OnTriggerStay message when a rigidbody enters or exits the trigger volume."

also sorry for late reply, I had to go do something quickly @whole idol

its best to put the collider on the player game object btw, rather than on a separate one

[modest dust]

Or at least make the collider a child of the rigidbody.

But in your case it's enough to just put it on the same go as player

[whole idol]

I cant

I already have a rigidbody 2d on the player

and for some reason Unity's boundary is that you can either have one or the other

[rancid tinsel]

no

i see the issue now actually

you used a sphere collider

which is for ball shaped objects

as in

3D

you need to use a circle collider 2D

and it will work when putting it on the player with the rigidbody 2D

[whole idol]

I dont have a sphere collider

[modest dust]

And you don't need one, because it wouldn't work

[whole idol]

and I don't have one

[modest dust]

Add a CircleCollider2D onto the player object

[whole idol]

oh

it's amazign that i can actually add that

along with rigidbody 2d

i was so confused at one point

thinking i can either have one or the other with when it comes to these physics components

anyway... ill try unticking the IsTrickers again

You said they gotta be turned off right?

[modest dust]

It doesn't really need to be turned off

A trigger collider can still 'collide' with another trigger collider

https://unity.huh.how/physics-messages/trigger-matrix-2d

And you'd usually use triggers to, well, trigger something, think of it as of a detection range

[whole idol]

amazing

[grizzled fulcrum]

So I'm rather new to Unity, and I'm doing a small project with friends. One thing I'm trying to do is to make an object appear and disappear within a 5 second timeframe, let's say a rectangle
How would I be able to make it work? I've tried to use Coroutine but I'm fairly sure I might've placed it on the wrong location, since said rectangle disappears and never comes back lol

[keen dew]

Show the code

[rich bluff]

if you are disabling the script that runs a coroutine, the coroutine is killed

[modest dust]

It's either the script or you're deactivating a gameObject where that component resides on, thus disabling the component itself and killing the coroutine as cache said

[grizzled fulcrum]

I was gonna send the script but it's most likely that

Would making a parent empty object and tossing the script there work?

[modest dust]

Sure, if you reference the child from there

[rich bluff]

you can also only disable the target component, like sprite renderer

[grizzled fulcrum]

I'll give it a shot once my Unity stops entering game state-

Nevermind it crashed

So just to make sure I'm not doing anything wrong, this was the script I was going to use
I just want said rectangle to constantly activate and deactivate, wherever the player is

[whole idol]

Assets\scripts\GameOver.cs(7,29): error CS0236: A field initializer cannot reference the non-static field, method, or property 'Component.GetComponent<Camera>()'

can someone explain this error?

[rich bluff]

looks ok, you can cache yield instruction

private WaitForSecondsRealtime wait5 = new...;

...
yield return wait5;

[modest dust]

Well, it's exactly what it says

[whole idol]

thats a non-static field?

[grizzled fulcrum]

So I set that private where again...? Just in the public class, wherever?

[modest dust]

Fields initializers cannot reference non-static stuff

Do it in Awake or Start instead

[whole idol]

what type is camera thne?

non-static?

okay

[rich bluff]

as a class member

[burnt vapor]

Remove the Component. part in your code, or whatever prefixes GetComponent in your case

[rich bluff]

like other fields in class

[burnt vapor]

The code assumes you make a static call

Removing it uses the instance instead

[whole idol]

ill just do this instead then

public Camera mainCamera;

and drag the camera in from the inspector

like a boss

[grizzled fulcrum]

Ah, I think I see

[rich bluff]

it just saves you an allocation on each yield, its a small thing but a good habbit imo

[burnt vapor]

If only Unity would have just used structs, then it would not have been required

[grizzled fulcrum]

Fair enough
I'm not quite used to it yet since the whole recent start and all

[rich bluff]

To explain, WaitForSeconds is a class, when you new it, you create a new instance of that class, an object
that object is allocated (a segment of ram now stores it) on the heap (long term ram storage in .net), which means that when it is no longer used anywhere (no references to it) it will be collected by garbage collector to free that ram, and the more stuff garbage collector has to analyze (it walks all the objects and counts the references to them to see if the object can be collected) the more time it takes to complete a single gc pass over memory
hence the more objects you reuse instead of spamming allocations the less is the probability of you encountering micro stutters due to GC taking too long

you are very far from it causing issues for you, so just note it for the future

[grizzled fulcrum]

I see

Oh, btw, if I want to make a detection of the player on top of the rectangle when it's active, how would I be able to do that?

[rich bluff]

If its 2d, the 2d physics components and their callbacks

https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/Physics2DReference.html

[rare basin]

please respect the garbage collector and cache that WaitForSecondsRealtime(5f);

[grizzled fulcrum]

Dope

[grizzled fulcrum]

Already cache'd

[rare basin]

show pls

[grizzled fulcrum]

I think that's how it should be at least

[languid spire]

if I may make one suggestion.
You have programmed an infinite loop. Add a

if (Vapor==null) break;

into it so you have a way out of it

[grizzled fulcrum]

Oh thanks

why does this never Debug?

[gaunt ice]

is currently trigger is false

you only set it in start

[languid spire]

this

bool isCurrentlyTrigger = mycollider.isTrigger;

is a local variable not the class variable

[whole idol]

ok I added it inside Update and now its printing

[languid spire]

not the solution. just remove the 'bool' from the line I showed

[halcyon geyser]

Id recommend a starting course

[languid spire]

@whole idol btw your ide should have flagged that that statement in Start is pointless

[whole idol]

it didnt?

weird

right now it always Logging that the player is flying

oops

I see what I did

isCurrentlyTrigger = mycollider.isTrigger;
isCurrentlyTrigger = false;

Ok I removed the isCurrentlyTrigger = false

but if I do that

[languid spire]

you need to fix the first error

[whole idol]

my player will be destroyed from the first frame

what error?

game is being compiled and played

oh wait

THAT error

[languid spire]

this one

[whole idol]

yeah

ok so problem persists

I Cleared the error

    {
        check_Death();
    }
}

there is no unassigned variable however I think I know what the problem is

BoxCollider2D is not a GameObject

its not referencing to a gameobject

[gaunt ice]

isCurrentlyTrigger is only be assigned in start
and it is value type, the value got copyed

[whole idol]

its referencing to the boxcollider2d of a gameobject

and there is no way to drag that from the inspector

or is there?

oh wait I think I can make a unity layout

somehow

so that i can have 2 different inspectors open at the same time

[gaunt ice]

public int x=10;
public int y=x;
y=9;
Debug.Log($"x is {x}")//x is 10

same as bool

[whole idol]

lol

how else am I gonna point to that boxcollider2d of that object

specifically

the IsTrigger

istrigger of boxcollider2d of lava gameobject

[languid spire]

show the inspector of the gameobject with the gameover script on it

[whole idol]

right now only lava has it lol

[languid spire]

that is correct

[whole idol]

looks correct

weird

this is always true

[languid spire]

of course it is, the value of isTrigger does not change

[whole idol]

btw checked Is Trigger is on

[languid spire]

yes,

 if (isCurrentlyTrigger == true)
        {
            Debug.Log("player touched the lava");

you mean that i should reverse this?

[whole idol]

well

this is supposed to be true

only when the player is touching

that lava object

correct?

[languid spire]

Not correct at all, you do not seem to understand how collisions/triggers work

[whole idol]

when does it get turned on then?

[wintry quarry]

Your code only assigns that variable once, in Start

It will not change again after that

Also it's just checking if your collider is a trigger collider. It's not doing anything with regard to actual collision or trigger detection

[dusk merlin]

The isTrigger property in Unity's colliders allows objects to pass through each other while still detecting collisions. When a collider set as a trigger interacts with another collider, Unity fires specific events (like OnTriggerEnter, OnTriggerStay, and OnTriggerExit). You can handle these events in your scripts to perform actions when the trigger collision occurs. For instance, in the OnTriggerEnter method, you can write code to respond when an object enters the trigger, such as opening a door or triggering a cutscene.

[wintry quarry]

It gets turned on when you turn it on only.

[languid spire]

if you are trying to check if the Player is interacting with the lava then your whole code base makes no sense

[lilac hemlock]

Can someone help me out please. I have a structure: Ship Class, Ship Properties SO and ITurnable Interface. My ITurnable Classes will have various parameters, and I want to be able to set these parameters inside SO. Parameters need to dynamically change based on selected ITurnable. How can I implement this? I thought about using OdinInspector with their SerializedScriptableObject.

For example, ITurnable A has turnSpeed, and ITurnable B has turnSpeed and rollSpeed

[vital cargo]

why does my firepoint not rotating

    private void Attack()
    {
        anim.SetTrigger("attack");

        if (transform.localScale.x > 0)
            firePoint.rotation = Quaternion.Euler(0, 0, -90);
        else 
            firePoint.rotation = Quaternion.Euler(0, 0, 90);

        
        fireballs[0].transform.position = firePoint.position;
        fireballs[0].GetComponent<Projectile>().SetDirection(transform.localScale.x);
    }
}```

[languid spire]

this is the second time you have posted this code and you still have not added any debugging

[vital cargo]

Dam

[burnt vapor]

Log what transform.localScale.x is when the code is called

[languid spire]

log if the code is even being called

[burnt vapor]

https://unity.huh.how/debugging/logging/how-to

[vital cargo]

i should see a debug log right?, but i dont see anything

{
    anim.SetTrigger("attack");

    if (transform.localScale.x > 0)
    {
        firePoint.rotation = Quaternion.Euler(0, 0, -90);
        Debug.Log("working");
    }
    else 
    {
        firePoint.rotation = Quaternion.Euler(0, 0, 90);
        Debug.Log("working");
    }```

[burnt vapor]

Then your method is not called

Considering you didn't share anything else but the method, we can't help you

Consider checking how the method is called, and if you actually call it there

[vital cargo]

ok ty

[loud mango]

how do i make a timer so that it is in sync with the fps of the player

i saw somewhere that u have to use time.Deltatime

but idk how it works exactly

[languid spire]

deltaTime is very simple. It is the length of time taken to process and render the previous frame.
So...
if you had a timer that did

timer += 1;

then timer would vary depending on the fps of the running game
but if you have

timer += Time.deltaTime;

then you have a timer which is independent of fps

[loud mango]

ooo

thanks! i will try it on the game

its running! thanks\

yoooooooo, why is this happening?

player is already Destroyed from Frame 1 😭 😭 😭

[loud mango]

bruh how

u set your bool to ur collider trigger

and from my guess u would have turned it on

[languid spire]

can you not read and follow your own code?

[loud mango]

dont complicate it.
just use

void onCollisionEnter2d(other collider){
if(other.gameObject.compareTag("Lava"){

    Destroy(gameObject);

}

add a tag called " Lava "

write this code according to the intellisense

i wrote it in discord

and put the script in player..... and try to understand ur code dude

u had a silly problem last time too

add this script to ur player movement script or the script that is in ur player. no need to create a new one

[whole idol]

other is a boxcollider2d object right?

public BoxCollider2D other;

[modest dust]

Dear lord, please go follow a tutorial or read the docs to learn how how collisions work. You've already been told that mycollider.isTrigger is not what you want, and besides you only set a value to your boolean once, in Start

.isTrigger tells you whether the referenced collider is a normal collider or a trigger collider (kinda detection range as I said earlier)

[whole idol]

well i removed that lol

[modest dust]

It has nothing to do with actual collisions taking place

[whole idol]

ok do you have any tutorials to recommend?

[verbal dome]

Do you know what isTrigger does? It doesn't check if the player enters the trigger or anything. It's just the Is Trigger setting that you see in the inspector

This is the code chatgbt gave me

[whole idol]

docs is kinda hard to read honestly

video form is more engaging

[modest dust]

That's generally the case if someone didn't learn the C# basics, I never had any issue reading them, quite the opposite really.

[loud mango]

no no

[loud mango]

has someone explained or should i?>

[languid spire]

firstly we do not fix AI generated code
secondly !code

[loud mango]

i mean why use ai if u have a helpful discord server and its not that hard of a language to work with

[fervent mulch]

no just asking is this code true or wrong i didnt want fix code sorry

[loud mango]

oo

idk havent worked with animation logic for a long time

[languid spire]

so post it correctly and maybe someone will take a look

[fervent mulch]

Can you suggest a way to prevent the jump animation from being used again after the character presses the space bar until he falls to the ground?

[loud mango]

use something like

when the player is not touching the ground play the animation once and dont press again until the player is on the ground and jumps again

[modest dust]

You did get answered tho: #💻┃code-beginner message

[fervent mulch]

😄

[loud mango]

i think ur animation loop is enabled

check it in the animation its probably there

[whole idol]

oh okay, ty , I didn't see that message

[fervent mulch]

yes it is but all i watched animation videos they all opening loop box

[loud mango]

try disabling loop

i see the problem

when u press space

it jumps and plays the animation correctly

[hexed terrace]

Nothing to do with your animations - your ground check is always returning true..

[loud mango]

but ur animation has loop animation enabled

[loud mango]

huh?

oh wait i think yeh

[loud mango]

https://gdl.space/towupejobo.cpp

it grows the first part of the plant when i interact with it

[fervent mulch]

already when i remove loop box jump aniamtion never play just going upward

[loud mango]

but it doesnt go to the second stage

[loud mango]

as Carwash said

check ur code

use a pen and paper or something and manually write what happens. like a tree or something

i do that a lot and it helps

[modest dust]

Dear lord, please learn about arrays

[hexed terrace]

your timer is in the first if statement, which then stops getting called, so your timer doesn't increase and never reaches >=3

[loud mango]

ik ik its a test code.

just trying get the gameplay

[loud mango]

ooooo thanks

[loud mango]

not quite the word but yeh. to understand what will make it work

[fervent mulch]

need add bool isGrounded = false; ?

[loud mango]

are u using raycast or something else

[fervent mulch]

no

[modest dust]

Character Controller from what I can see.

Not familiar with it tho

[loud mango]

oh oops, didnt check the script

[loud mango]

same

[hexed terrace]

need to throw in a log and print out isGrounded see if it's still true when jumping or not

[fervent mulch]

i have only 3 script FPSController(from github) PlayerAnimation(from chatgbt) and groundCheck (from chatgbt)

[loud mango]

wait u are starting make a game for the first time right?

like u are new to it

[fervent mulch]

🤙 😄

[loud mango]

make ur own script or understand the scripts

wdym by 🤙 😄

[fervent mulch]

i just trying walk animation run animation jump animation

not too much

[loud mango]

😂 i am making my 4th 3d game and i still havent added any animations.

i need to learn it

[fervent mulch]

its so hard bro

[hexed terrace]

If you're an actual student in education, you're doing yourself an injustice by using "AI" and if I (and many others in here) was your tutor , I would fail you for using "AI"

[fervent mulch]

there is no enaughly youtube tutorial videos

[loud mango]

but i swear to god, beans and cubes are the best models for every game

[loud mango]

xd

[fervent mulch]

walk run is easy but jump animation really really

[rare basin]

your googling skill is not enough bro

[loud mango]

there are enough yt vids on youtube

[loud mango]

yeh lol

i can find everything i want. u will too

[hexed terrace]

Calling a jump animation is no different than calling a walk/ run animation..

[loud mango]

when i started i used gpt too but then i realized that its not worth it

[fervent mulch]

yes true but seems so ugly did you watch this ?

[hexed terrace]

What about it?

[loud mango]

are u making a whole game or just learning animations?

[modest dust]

The only time I do use GPT is when my brain is fried and I'm looking for a good name for my class/method

[loud mango]

this what my games looks like while developing. will add animations and stuff after main gameplay features are finished

[loud mango]

lol tru

[fervent mulch]

im trying just learn basic animations

[loud mango]

oh nvm

[hexed terrace]

Then you should be in #🏃┃animation

[loud mango]

finally i fixed the crop growing error

[oblique herald]

its me again...
i have a function for selecting an item in my inventory, and I have a crafting system where user select 2 items in the inventory and it will show up on the craftingUI, but I want the user to only choose 2 items max, so I implemented an int of selected. When selected <= 2, then I can select and selected += 1, else I shouldnt be able to select. however when I tested it, it was like the photo shown. Below are my codes that I hope is relevant:

    public int selected = 0;

    public void OnPointerClick(PointerEventData eventData) {
        if (eventData.button == PointerEventData.InputButton.Left) {
            OnLeftClick();
        }
        if (eventData.button == PointerEventData.InputButton.Right) {
            OnRightClick();
        }
    }
    
    public void OnLeftClick() {
        if (selected <= 2) {
            selected += 1;
            Debug.Log("It has " + selected + " selected.");
            selectSlot();
        }
    }

[whole idol]

Not trynna be this guy again, but there is something really weird happening in my code which I dont undestand

[loud mango]

just go ahead

[whole idol]

how the fuck am i instantiating new clone pipes if no Instantiate() us attached anywhere in any script in my gameobjects?

[loud mango]

ur code is simple so i alone can help

[whole idol]

lets look at deez prefabs

[loud mango]

are u sure that there isnt any Instantiate() anywhere

[whole idol]

nope not here

not here either

not here either

[loud mango]

show script

[loud mango]

not panel

[whole idol]

ok

now lets look at the script that some of these have

only script they got is a plain MoveLeft script

thats it

[loud mango]

show me the script that works with the pipe

[whole idol]

1 sex

I mean 1 second

sec

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

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

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

[loud mango]

it used to happen to me tooo

[loud mango]

thats the only script?

[whole idol]

yep

[loud mango]

wrong video

how could that happen then

[whole idol]

how the fuck does this happen?

[green ether]

did you save the script?

[whole idol]

yes

all of them

[loud mango]

finally its fixed

[green ether]

then there is another script

[loud mango]

yeh

[whole idol]

where?

[loud mango]

it cant clone unless its the code

show ur files

[whole idol]

I know

I have all these scripts

[green ether]

Depending how simple your hierarchy is just check every single GO and child for other scripts

[whole idol]

which I was experimenting with

im not even sure

I should had probably deleted some of them

[green ether]

I assume there is a PipeGenerator somewhere on a gameobject

[whole idol]

but at this point

I cant locate which one does the work

[green ether]

Alternatively search the hierarchy for the names of these scripts

[loud mango]

just recheck cloner and pip generator \

[green ether]

Search the Hierarchy for "Cloner" and "PipeGenerator"

i mean it could be in any of those scripts but just going off of the names thats where I would assume it is

[whole idol]

oh okay I found it

[loud mango]

lol

[whole idol]

It was emptyAbyss just playing hide and seek

[loud mango]

welp good luck with ur game

[whole idol]

sometimes Unity can be like searching for a hidden sock in the laundry

yep

[smoky mauve]

is there any way to use an int64

[loud mango]

dude

[whole idol]

looking for new things to add tho

😄

[loud mango]

u are not me

ur game is still simple

;-;

[whole idol]

what is that?

[loud mango]

its easy to manage

[green ether]

Things are always only exactly where you put them

[whole idol]

true

[loud mango]

i got like 10 scripts and total of 2k-2.5k lines of code

[smoky mauve]

what?

[loud mango]

he is new

[green ether]

I have a charactercreation thats almost 1.5 k

But its multiplayer/ networked so that adds alot

[loud mango]

😮

[green ether]

I am in the middle of refactoring my whole game though so I am sure it will become less xD
When I wrote most of the code I was so much worse at programming than now

[whole idol]

Unless if a annoying little ghost always sneaks into my pc when im not looking and shuffles my scripts around the unity hierarchy to make my life easier

[loud mango]

i wanted to make my multiplayer too, but then it was too complicated for my game and too much to recode everything so that everything is synced

[loud mango]

thats unreal engine spy

[green ether]

Yeah if you are already in the middle of a game there is no point in adding MP in most cases

Adding it from the start is so much better

[loud mango]

can i disable any static variable to get changed again by a script

[green ether]

Took me a few weeks to get steam integration and public/ friend lobby finder to work

[whole idol]

[loud mango]

like disable bool X to be edited when bool Y is true

[green ether]

readonly

[green ether]

ahh

[loud mango]

yeh thats why i changed my mind

[green ether]

Do a setter

[loud mango]

its like this

so when i reach the stage 4 of plant growing

[green ether]

So you want a variable that you can only change when some bool is true?

[loud mango]

or

no like

i just want the player to use E only once

[loud mango]

basically this script checks if the player presses E near a plant box and then start the plant growing process

oh wait i got it

[green ether]

Cant you just add a && plantCrop.timerIsrunning == false

to the if?

[loud mango]

yeh

[green ether]

But it wouldnt change anything right?

[loud mango]

add a bool at the start of the script that is true

make it so that if(raycast && boolx) then do stuff

when the stuff it does is plant and change boolx to false

so the if cant rerun

🤓

[green ether]

do it the other way around

if(boolx && raycast)

checking the bool is cheaper than the raycast

[loud mango]

but then i wanna add other stuff to the same script

i mean its not that heavy rn

but why not

[whole idol]

I deleted a GameOver script

and then I realized I needed that

[loud mango]

no

u dont

[whole idol]

and tried to skoop it back out of the recycling bin

[loud mango]

just add it in ur player movement script

[whole idol]

and now its corrupted and it doenst work

it deleted all its contents

[loud mango]

just use OnCollisionEnter2d

[whole idol]

ok

[loud mango]

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/MonoBehaviour.OnCollisionEnter2D.html

[whole idol]

ok cool, thankfully it didnt take that long to fix this time

[loud mango]

yeh its really easy

u can just add "Lava" tag or something like that in objects that will kill player on touch

[whole idol]

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

public class GameOver : MonoBehaviour
{
    void OnTriggerEnter2D(Collider2D other) // Use 'other' as the convention
    {
        if (other.gameObject.CompareTag("Player"))
        {
            // Handle game over logic (e.g., destroy player, display game over screen)
            Destroy(other.gameObject); // Destroy the player on collision
            // Add code to display game over UI, reset level, etc.
            SceneManager.LoadScene(SceneManager.GetActiveScene().buildIndex);
        }
    }
}

[loud mango]

yeh

[loud mango]

no wait

[whole idol]

what i fix kinda cringe about this is that whenever these pipes hit you in the face position.z goes perma negative by that amount

[loud mango]

wait

u did it wrong

[whole idol]

what?

there is a skylimit

i cant go above that

[green ether]

You should have one script on the player that checks in OnCollisionEnte

[whole idol]

and below that i die

[green ether]

not on all obstacles

[loud mango]

replace "player" with "killObject" or something

[whole idol]

if i touch the floor

[green ether]

yep

[loud mango]

and add the "killObject" to the prefabs of the pipes

[whole idol]

oh true

[green ether]

Instead of Having GameOver on each obstacle, have one script on the player that check for collisions with objects with the tag "obstacle" or something

and then ends the game

[loud mango]

add a object that moves with ur background

and give the killObject kill tag and keep the object and the ground

that will act like lava

also i suggest u make the pipe height high cuz i can just go really high and then wont be able to die

[whole idol]

ok so only flying is safe now

[loud mango]

yeh

ofc

[whole idol]

all collisions kill player

[loud mango]

noh

[whole idol]

except if position.x goes too negative

[loud mango]

yeh

[whole idol]

away from the camera view

which is kinda weird

but will fix that later probably

[loud mango]

wait why would that happen

[whole idol]

maybe a limit to how far back it can go

[loud mango]

how could that happen

[whole idol]

oh wait

[loud mango]

the background will keep moving at a speed

[whole idol]

it cant happen

I just realized

[loud mango]

its not like u controll the player

[whole idol]

now pipes will you

[loud mango]

yeh

[whole idol]

so it will no longer be happening anyways

[loud mango]

nice

when u are done a small prototype upload it to https://itch.io

and add it to #1180170818983051344

mine is almost complete. just some polishing

[whole idol]

thats not true

there is also a lava above his head

lol

[loud mango]

lol

idk if should be therew

[loud mango]

i mean if the player doesnt come down

or wait

wait

[whole idol]

but that one doesn't have a GameOver script

so nothing happens if you touch it

[loud mango]

just add a cube instead of lava on the head

so the player just cant go higher

[whole idol]

its not lava, i just call bad things lava

[loud mango]

yeh the bad things

[whole idol]

😛

[loud mango]

my game rn is almost complete

[whole idol]

i just made a giant pipe

and then duplicated it

[loud mango]

single player, farming, zombie survival, day/night cycle

[whole idol]

and increased the size of them both

and named them lavas 😛

[loud mango]

just the menus are remaining

and some gui

[whole idol]

video?

[loud mango]

just a sec

[whole idol]

My favourite game is deceit

from steam

ive been playing too much of it and I originally wanted to make one game like that, multiplayer too. survival zombie multiplayer type game

it allowed me to meet so many friends and people all around the world, very voice chat oriented type of game too

I wanna make one game like that one day

[loud mango]

oh i will try playing it

i like zombie survivals

[loud mango]

my dream is kinda like that too

here is the vid

[whole idol]

have you finished any games?

[loud mango]

yeh

https://mrcjoc.itch.io/project-combie

its not really good

[whole idol]

looks clean!

[loud mango]

i made it in a game jam

[loud mango]

its has reloading too but there is a bug and i am too brain dead to fix that

ik whats causing it just that idk how to fix it

[whole idol]

holy.., does it increase in difficulty as time goes on?

[loud mango]

i have been thinking to stream my developing on twitch or yt

just to keep track

[whole idol]

so much nostalgia from these types of games

[loud mango]

no

i will add it to the currently 3d game i am working on

[whole idol]

I loved the old call of duty zombie survival modes

[loud mango]

yeh

my current game is kinda like that

and i wont add world building so that i dont have to work on world saving

lol

[whole idol]

btw

how did you add the explosion animation graphics?

[loud mango]

welp thats " Unity's Particle System "

if u know how to use it, it can cure cancer and world hunger

but i just downloaded a asset from asset store

and edited a bit and made it play whenever my raycast hits an enemy, the particles will Instantiate() at hitpoint at a angle from which it got hit

[whole idol]

how much time can it take to make a basic explosion like that ? rather than download an asset from the store?

[loud mango]

man i learned raycasts in this project and its a life saver

[loud mango]

idk. thats why i just downloaded

[whole idol]

raycasts you mean the invisible lazer things?

[loud mango]

cuzz i didnt wanted to learn

[whole idol]

for your aim?

[loud mango]

yis

[whole idol]

amazing

[loud mango]

yis

[whole idol]

was it hard?

i wanna learn that at some point too lol

[loud mango]

not really if u can understand the code

its the unity physics

its like OnCollisionEnter just with raycasts

[plush igloo]

Hi guys is this the channel I can ask for some code help or should I ask elsewhere?

[loud mango]

yes

go on

[whole idol]

oh so you literally instantiate() bullets?

[loud mango]

no no

[whole idol]

how

[loud mango]

thats a way and another is using a raycast

it will shoot a raycast straight from the camera

if it hits something, it will check if its tag is "enemy" and it will damage it

[whole idol]

it looks like it comes out of your gun

[loud mango]

using physical bullets is expensive as in fps and is not really nice looking

[loud mango]

no thats just cosmetics

[whole idol]

ohhhh, lol

I feel scummed xD

interesting tho, i like this idea

[loud mango]

the rifle cosmetics are scuffed but yeh

[whole idol]

nice

[loud mango]

thats what the player is supposed to feel lol

[whole idol]

why?

ohhh i see what you mean

[plush igloo]

I am having the following issue: "PlayerInput does not contain a definition for actions" I am not sure what else to add to this so please help me if you guys need additional information.

[whole idol]

it drags down the performance right?

[loud mango]

cuz u create many objects which have to be rendered and calculated

while using high firerate guns, it can be laggy

[loud mango]

yeh

[whole idol]

how do video games handle bullets then?

[loud mango]

i can show u a different way @plush igloo

[loud mango]

just a sec, let me help Dest then we talk

@plush igloo if u wanna jump when u press space your code can go like this

   ```
    if(Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Space)){
        // code for jumping
    }```

here Input is a tool in unity

"GetKeyDown" will detect if a key is press

KeyCode.Space will detect if the key is space and run the jump code

[plush igloo]

oh I understand that part, I'm using the "new" input system so was trying different ways. I am just baffled why it is throwing me this error. went over the video 5 times to check and all is the same.

[loud mango]

i dont really use the input system u are using so i dont have any idea

@whole idol talk in dms, we were talking in code questions lol

[loud mango]

repost ur question some else might be able to help

[plush igloo]

I will repost thanks bud

[loud mango]

yeh np

[plush igloo]

Hi guys! I am having the following issue: "PlayerInput does not contain a definition for actions" I am not sure what else to add to this so please help me if you guys need additional information. Reposted the question per MrcJoc's advice.

This uses the new unity input system

[loud mango]

tbh old one is better cuz u can use it from the script

so u dont have to go into different window

[final kestrel]

Hey all! Say I am inheriting a base class. Do I have to use all of its methods? Or can I just like use the ones I want only.

[loud mango]

show code and explain. ......

[loud mango]

like the update and start class ?

[green ether]

Not sure if this helps you, i just recently started redoing my inputs in the new input system

But that works for me so far

[loud mango]

but whyyy

whats the difference

[green ether]

Controller support

[loud mango]

oooooooooooooh

[green ether]

All subclasses will have access to the methods of the base class

But you dont have to use them

[final kestrel]

No like a custom class that has 4 virtual methods and I only want to override 2 of them. What happens to the remaining two?

[green ether]

You can mark methods on the base class as abstarct, then you enforce each subclass to implement their own override for that method

[loud mango]

bruh, i cant understand this words. i can just see a code and can help lol

[green ether]

They will still be accesible by the subclass

[final kestrel]

But the new class thats overriding will not call them right?

I mean the remaining two thats untouched.

[green ether]

can you send a code example?

[final kestrel]

hm no I'm not working on anything that just is out of my mind.

[green ether]

Ok let me type it out then

[silk night]

The list of new functionality that the new input system offers is about as long as discord would allow to type a message, starting with controller support, built-in support for multiple players, different click types (hold, double click), mouse delta tracking, conversion of key-combos to a vector2 (WASD, arrow keys) and plenty more

[green ether]

public class A{
  public virtual void MethodX(){}
  public virtual void MethodY(){}
}

public class B : A{
  public override void MethodX(){
    base.MethodX();
    // extra code  

    // Method Y can be used here aswell
    MethodY();
  }
}

Does that answer your question?

Not sure if the syntax is 100% correct

[loud mango]

what can i use in a if statement as a " or "

for example: if(1 = 1 && 2 + 2 = 4) {}

[green ether]

||

[loud mango]

instead of " and " i wanna use " or "

[green ether]

||

[loud mango]

ohki

thanks

[final kestrel]

Hm okay so I have to still call the base method when overriding and put anything extra in it

[green ether]

You dont have to

You can

If you want to completely replace you dont do base.MethodX();

but if you want to keep logic of methodX in the baseclass and add new stuff on top then you do that

[silk night]

Just a quick question, is your base class a default implementation or basically an interface how the child classes should look?

[final kestrel]

makes sense all right. So I got the method x. What happens if i dont override the method y and do not include it in the B class?

[final kestrel]

not an interface no

[green ether]

You can still call it on class B

like i did

[final kestrel]

Yeah I mean I can call but what if I dont call it?

[green ether]

Same as any method

[final kestrel]

Just exists then?

[green ether]

nothing happens

yeah

[final kestrel]

Aa okay okay it got me confused a bit

thanks for the thorough explanation!

[green ether]

You can also mark the methods as abstract to enforce overwriting them if thats something you want

Thats more like an interface then

[final kestrel]

Yeah I kinda get how it works when its abstract classes. I just get confused when the base method actually does something and I inherit that from another class.

[ripe oyster]

i want the mouse to able to be controlled only on the left side of the screen, i have trouble finding any information about it (most of the information is how to lock it to the center of the screen)
Is there a way to make borders that the mouse can't pass on one side of the screen?

[silk night]

Very shallow explanation: You hide the real mouse (Cursor.visible), put an image in its place and move the image with the mouse delta. Limit the image move through simple math and if the player clicks you simulate a click at the position the image is currently

[ripe oyster]

so the image can't pass the border, sounds good. (it's a game where you need to dodge stuff using the mouse so this might be perfect)
i'll see what i can do.

[silk night]

Oh an i think you need to the set cursor lock state

there is good documentation in the unity docs about that one

[willow scroll]

• CursorLockMode.None: the cursor can move freely inside and outside of the game window
• CursorLockMode.Confined: the cursor can move freely just inside of the game window unless Escape is pressed. This way the cursor can move outside of the window. Once the game window is selected by being clicked, the cursor is locked.
• CursorLockMode.Locked: the cursor is fixed in the middle of the window

In your case, you don't want the player to be able to bass the border. This way you'll have to consider setting the cursor to Locked.

Cursor.lockState = CursorLockMode.Confined;

[final kestrel]

marking a method virtual means you can override it. Marking a method abstract also lets you override it. The difference is that abstract stuff do not have a body. What is the difference then?

[buoyant knot]

abstract FORCES a class that inherits from this base class to implement it

the first declaration of a virtual method is like a default implementation

[green ether]

You have to implement an override

In the inherited class

[buoyant knot]

abstract forces all children to have to override, and define their own thing from scratch

[willow scroll]

virtual method can be overridden, not necessarily. abstract method must be overridden.
virtual method has a body and can be used by the derived class, but abstract cannot have a body and thus must be overriden.

[final kestrel]

Ah okay that makes sense.

[silk night]

I think you switched confined and locked here

[buoyant knot]

you should only make a method virtual when you actually want all the children to have a basic version of the method to work with

that they all share in common

[final kestrel]

What would be a case that I would want to run the base method and add stuff?

Like I cannot find any examples and it does not make sense as it is now

[willow scroll]

virtual.

[final kestrel]

No I mean. Like an example where I want to run the base method then add more things to do in that method while overriding.

In the ovveridden method

[willow scroll]

// Foo.cs
protected virtual void Foo()
{
    print("Foo.Foo");
}

// Bar.cs
protected override void Foo()
{
    base.Foo();

    print("Bar.Foo");

    // =>
    // Foo.Foo
    // Bar.Foo
}

[buoyant knot]

i have public class Singleton<T> : MonoBehaviour
It has
protected virtual void Awake() {
that makes the singleton set up it single instance if it doesn’t exist, destroy if there is a duplicate etc

[green ether]

like I showed you here @final kestrel

[buoyant knot]

then I define singeltons like
CameraController : Singleton<CameraController>
CameraController has its own Awake that it wants to call, but it also NEEDS to do the singleton Awake when it calls awake so the singleton can work

[final kestrel]

I understand this example yes. Like I am just trying to figure out the "extra stuff" part.

[buoyant knot]

so CameraController will have
protected override void Awake() {
base.Awake();
//Then camera controller stuff
}

[green ether]

You can add code in addition to the code of the base class

[green ether]

So in this example when you call the base it wont print anything

[willow scroll]

You're right, fixed it. Thanks.

[green ether]

the other inherited one will print

[buoyant knot]

i have many other classes that call base.Whatever, but the singleton is maybe the most generic

[green ether]

The logic will be the same

[final kestrel]

Yeah no I am not making myself clear enough sorry. Like I get the idea. I am just trying to see the real world example where I would want to add extra stuff.

but yes I see now.

[buoyant knot]

this

[final kestrel]

Thanks a lot for the answers!!

[green ether]

For example a button, you would want all buttons to do the same logic in some way like lerping/ sound

[willow scroll]

No, it will print "Foo.Foo".

[buoyant knot]

basically, it’s when you want to like “keep adding more” to whatever method is there, but tie it to the same signature

[green ether]

Oh yeah sry i didnt even look at the base method

Meant that it prints something additionally

[willow scroll]

Yes, that's so

[final kestrel]

All right. It makes sense now. I should just practice some to get it right.

[buoyant knot]

good luck

oh i also do that with initialize methods

[green ether]

Abtract methods are very useful for example for items when you f.e. want to use items. Each type of item will have its own logic for using it:
The base item class then has an abstract "UseItem()" method.

All inheriting classes must then implement their own using logic.

That way you dont have to do stuff like:

ìf (item is Weapon) ...
if (item is Tool) ...

You can just do

item.Use()

For example

[final kestrel]

Yeah abstract stuff seems simpler for me.

But I just want to learn thats all

[final kestrel]

since they have no body you can just implement them and do whatever you want inside.

[buoyant knot]

class 1 has public virtual void Initialize(…) { set up parameters in base class}
class 2 : class 1 then has
public override void Initialize(…) {
base.Initialize(…); // sets up parameters and crap in the parent
// Then set up things required for class 2
}

[willow scroll]

Using the derived class would usually be better

if (item is Weapon weapon)
    weapon.Use();

[final kestrel]

It is just confusing when I override and can optionally call the base method first then add some more stuff.

[green ether]

yeah thats what the ... are for

[buoyant knot]

base.MyFunction calls the function with the given signature in the base class

[green ether]

Was just the example of how not to do it

[final kestrel]

aa okay

[buoyant knot]

base.MyFunc() looks to invoke MyFunc() of this particular instance, as looking for the definition in the base class.

[willow scroll]

Oh, I see, you're right. It doesn't make sense to use the variant I've shown if the Use method is in the base class, as calling it from the derived reference will give the same result.

[buoyant knot]

inherittance can be tricky. Interfaces might actually be simpler in a way

[final kestrel]

can you hold properties in interfaces?

[buoyant knot]

property yes. field no

an interface is like an abstract class with no fields, but you can “inheritt” (actually called implement) as many of them as you want. You can only inherit from one class

[green ether]

public class Tool{
  public virtual void UseTool(){
  // Logic that is for all tools. F.e.: Reduce Durability
  }
}

public class Pickaxe : Tool{
  public override void UseTool(){
    base.UseTool(); // you want to also reduce the durability here
    
    // Code for only Pickaxe logic. F.e.: break stone
  } 
}

public class Bucket : Tool{
  public override void UseTool(){
    // base.UseTool(); // You dont want buckets to loose durability, so you comment this out/ remove it
    
    // Code for only Bucket logic. 
  } 
}

a small example for the base.Method()

[final kestrel]

This is great example thanks!

[buoyant knot]

so I can have something like:
public interface IDamageable {
public int CurrentHp {get;}
public void DoDamage(int damage);
}

any class implementing IDamageable must have a property called CurrentHp with a public getter that returns an int

[final kestrel]

I never did properties in Interfaces. Do I have to implement them as well?

[final kestrel]

That answers my question all right.

It is amazing how you have many ways to do one specific thing. Its intimidating haha

[buoyant knot]

private int HP = 5;
public int CurrentHp => HP;
public void DoDamage(int damage) {
HP -= damage;
}
}```

public int CurrentHp => 1;
public void DoDamage(int damage) {
BreakChair();
}
private void BreakChair() { ….}
}```

[final kestrel]

oh nice so this how you would do it with interface all right.

[buoyant knot]

interface lets you handle things that have nothing to do with each other. but allows other things to act on/with them through the few parts they are guaranteed to have

[final kestrel]

I could just remove the property from the interface and hold them as fields in classes themselves and just do the logic on the implemented methods too right?

[buoyant knot]

yes. but then you can’t access it via that object when typed as the interface without downcasting

(and you really don’t want to spam downcasting nonsense)

so you should think hard about what your interface should actually have

[final kestrel]

ah okay. Thanks a lot for the help!

[buoyant knot]

in this case, IDamageable should NOT have a CurrentHp property, because it doesn’t make sense if I’m forcing that shit onto classes that don’t actually have HP

[stuck palm]

what is the non character controller equivalent of charactercontroller.move()?

[rare basin]

huh, weird question

[loud mango]

yeh

[rare basin]

your own move function

[stuck palm]

i was considering just doing transform.position += vector

[summer stump]

Translate()

For rigidbodies:
MovePosition()
AddForce()
velocity =

[stuck palm]

thanks

[faint osprey]

        {
            if(Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Escape))
            {
                Debug.Log("woking");
                onComputer = false;
                freeMove = true;
                StartCoroutine(ComputerCamTransition());
            }
        }```
i dont think unity is reading this properly as instead its just trying to tab me out the window

[rich adder]

tab you out of window?

[faint osprey]

tab me out of like game view

so like making my mouse appear

[rich adder]

nothing in this code does that 🤷‍♂️

[faint osprey]

yeah i know but thats what escape does in unity

[rich adder]

only in editor

[faint osprey]

yeah well im in the editor so how do i test it

[rich adder]

test it with another key?

switch it when building

if you unity didn't allowcursor unlock mouse would be stuck forever

[faint osprey]

true just seems really impratical

[rich adder]

yup only for esc button though

[stuck palm]

can you get a trigger point from on collision enter?

[summer stump]

I dunno what trigger point means (collision point?) But this is everything you get from the struct
https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Collision.html

Likely what you want is contacts

[stuck palm]

sorry i meant can you get a trigger point from on trigger enter like you can with a collision point on collider

[rich adder]

no because triggers aren't solid collisions

[stuck palm]

i see

[summer stump]

All you get is the collider that the trigger intersected with

You can do some math using bounds I guess

[rich adder]

there are workarounds like using
ClosestPoint and a raycast

[stuck palm]

is on trigger when you are the trigger or when the other thing is a trigger

[rich adder]

its either one (rigidbody detects both colliders involved)

[slender nymph]

yes

[stuck palm]

oh i need rigidbody

i forgot

[rich adder]

or a character controller

[stuck palm]

why isnt the sphere collidingg with the floor? both have a rigidbody and collider

[polar acorn]

How are you moving the object

[stuck palm]

with transform.position

im not using physics

[polar acorn]

That's teleportation. It won't respect collisions

You have to move the object with physics

[stuck palm]

ah

damn

so it has to be trigger then i guess

[hexed terrace]

no..

[polar acorn]

A trigger also would not work

[hexed terrace]

and expects physics to work 😄

[stuck palm]

trigger did work

[rich adder]

by approximation but wont be totally accurate

[stuck palm]

it doesnt need to be totally accurate

i wanna hit this baseball around but rigidbody just doesnt work with it

can i move the rigidbody while its kinematic?

will that respect collisions?

[rich adder]

nope

why dont u just use velocity?

[stuck palm]

like rb.velocity or something

[rich adder]

yea

[stuck palm]

while its kinematic?

[rich adder]

no

[stuck palm]

will that work?

ffs

[latent thorn]

Does anyone know why when I start my 2D game the Y transofrm axis just keeps going up infinitely? ive tried looking at diff sollutions none of them are working

[rich adder]

kinematics dont have velocity

[polar acorn]

Why would you need it to be kinematic

[stuck palm]

because i want to use my own physics that I made

[rich adder]

probably a script doing it

[hexed terrace]

not if you don't provide any sort of information for us to go off

[polar acorn]

Then you'll need to use your own collision detection system that you made

[stuck palm]

i'll just use trigger then

[latent thorn]

what speicfic information would be relevant for this? im really new to unity

[hexed terrace]

well, what could be affecting the movement of an object?

[latent thorn]

I first looked at the movement script and disabled it but its still just going down indefinitely

[polar acorn]

Like how gravity works

[latent thorn]

my dumbass forgot to put the tilemap collider

thank you

[stuck palm]

why does it fall through the platform but collides with the out of bounds thing?

[deft grail]

because the floor is trigger?

so its not an actual collider

[stuck palm]

bro i m so stupid

thanks i didnt even see that

[reef totem]

how can i move a object back. and forth

ik it sounds really easy but i want to do it locally

like reletive to the objects rotation

[summer stump]

Use transorm.forward
It will move relative to rotation

[languid spire]

then use
transform.position += transform.forward * new Vector3 (x,y,z);

[reef totem]

yea i know that but i want to move it back and forth

so it goes 5 units foward and the goes 5 units back

and it just reapeats that

[summer stump]

Yes?

So use transform.forward and -transform.forward

And move it back and forth

[reef totem]

but how do i make it know when to go back after i go 5 units foward

[languid spire]

flip a bool

[reef totem]

but how do u identifly that it has gone foward 5 units

[summer stump]

Check position against a set "center"

[reef totem]

huh

[summer stump]

Keep track of how far it has moved

Lots of ways

[reef totem]

can u show me one

the one that would be affctive in this case

[summer stump]

I just told you two

I'm on my phone, so I'm not gonna write code

Might be easier if you make it a child object btw

[reef totem]

could u at least give me like a link something

[summer stump]

The parent would represent the center

[reef totem]

to some explination

[summer stump]

Link to what?
I'm sure you can google

[reef totem]

so i would need 2 game objects

[reef totem]

like a link to a yt video or a article

[summer stump]

No, that was just a third suggestion. The other two do not need that

[reef totem]

so how do i do this

[summer stump]

Vector3 representing a center position
Check if you are over 5 units in front of it
Or over 5 units behind it
You can subtract one position from another and check the magnitude, or add the distance moved to a float and poll that float

[languid spire]

float dist = 5;
...
v3 = -v3;
position += forward * dist;

[reef totem]

is this what u mean or did i copt the code wrong

[oblique herald]

hi guys :D i have a silly question, but how do I link script? my phrasing could be wrong cuz i dont really know how to name this question
basically, I have a locked door, and I have a key in my inventory, how do I tell the script locking the door that I contain a key unlocking the door in my inventory script?

[slender nymph]

it sounds like you want to learn how to get a reference to another object. you can check this out to see different ways to get a reference: https://unity.huh.how/references

[oblique herald]

alright thanks :D

[reef totem]

so whats wrong

[slender nymph]

you cannot multiply two Vector3 together using the * operator since that operation is not defined. If you just want to transform a Vector3 to be relative to the object's direction just use transform.TransformDirection which will convert the direction from local space to world space

[reef totem]

isnt that what it says in this code tho

position = forward * v3;

[slender nymph]

and it's wrong for the reason i already stated

[reef totem]

ok then how do i fix

[languid spire]

my bad, should not be vector3 should be float

[reef totem]

ok

so like for the sake of simplcity ill just make it a random number and times it by time. delta time and ill see what happens

[languid spire]

I updated the code above

[reef totem]

what about v3 = -v3

if these is no vector3

[languid spire]

obviously dist = -dist

[reef totem]

  float test= 2f; 
    void Update () 
    {
        test = - test;
        transform.position = transform.forward * test;
    }

does this work

[languid spire]

do += rather than =

[reef totem]

ok

[languid spire]

also - test looks wrong -test is better

[reef totem]

ok

nothing happens

the cube is just now stuck on the ground

[languid spire]

well you are doing this every frame which will mean it is moving so fast you cannot see it

[reef totem]

yea ik

so i do a corotine

[languid spire]

could do

[reef totem]

but still this code wont be local

like if the cube is roatetd will it still go foward and back

[languid spire]

why, using transform.forward will mean it will move in the direction it is facing

[reef totem]

wait i just noticed something in my code for the reason the float test is just 0

[reef totem]

ok

and i cant just change it

it stays 0

 public float test= 2f; 
    void Update () 
    {
        test += -test;
        transform.position = transform.forward * test*Time.deltaTime;
    }
}

this is the code btw
