[brittle isle]

thanks

[wintry quarry]

This part is just as important. Make sure everything is arranged and assigned correctly

[hot lily]

 {
     if (lfAngle < -360f) lfAngle += 360f;
     if (lfAngle > 360f) lfAngle -= 360f;
     return Mathf.Clamp(lfAngle, lfMin, lfMax);
 }
 private void CameraRotation()
 {
     //targetRotation = Mathf.Atan2(inputVector.x, inputVector.y) * Mathf.Rad2Deg + _mainCamera.transform.eulerAngles.y;
     //float rotation = Mathf.SmoothDampAngle(transform.eulerAngles.y, targetRotation);

     if (cameraInputVector.sqrMagnitude >= 0.01f)
     {
         _cinemachineTargetYaw += cameraInputVector.x;
         _cinemachineTargetPitch += cameraInputVector.y;
     }
     
     _cinemachineTargetYaw = ClampAngle(cameraInputVector.x, float.MinValue, float.MaxValue);
     _cinemachineTargetPitch = ClampAngle(cameraInputVector.y, BottomClamp, TopClamp);
     
     CinemachineCameraTarget.transform.rotation = Quaternion.Euler(_cinemachineTargetPitch, _cinemachineTargetYaw, 0.0f);
 }```

I'm trying to copy the code over from the 3rd person asset to create a 3rd person camera
but instead of working it caused my camera to be stuck in its original position

what did I do wrong?

[hot lily]

nvm, chatgpt pointed out the big oopsie

i'm an idiot

[buoyant thistle]

i was looking for a not instantaneus rotation but does like keep the object rotating afterwars

[wintry quarry]

Everything is an "instantaneous" rotation on a per-frame basis

you make gradual rotations by doing lots of small instantaneous rotations, one per frame

[frosty lantern]

So I am using this validate method to determine if one of my moves is valid, but it only seems to work if I hover over what I presume to be the last movement in the list of movements, and it highlights all of the movements as opposed to the valid movement
https://gdl.space/ijiwuniduq.cs

It recognizes each movement so it's most probably just the structure of when I chang ethe color of the pieces

[tawny bolt]

https://gdl.space/opomeqalif.cpp

can someone explain how to fix this code ?

[rich adder]

you should begin by stating what is exactly wrong before I click it

[tawny bolt]

basicly my Dash() function is not being called out

[rich adder]

have you debugged and logged your values / checked ?

like dashcount amount etc.

also gotta check what is value of dashCD1,dashCD2 etc..

[tawny bolt]

yes

//counter
if (dashcount == 2 && dashCD1 == true)
{
DashChance1.interactable = false;
dashcount--;
Dash();
pm.Dashing = true;
dashcount -= 1;
dashCD1 = false;
Debug.Log("minused");
}
if (dashcount == 1 && dashCD2 == true)
{
DashChance1.interactable = false;
dashcount--;
Dash();
pm.Dashing = true;
dashcount -= 1;
dashCD2 = false;
Debug.Log("minused");
}
}

not getting call

[frosty lantern]

don't use the same debug.log for 2 different if statements

and make sure your testing outside of those if statements if dashcount and dashCD1 end up in a different configuration like (0,0), (1,3) (3,1) or something like that

[polar acorn]

Then neither of the conditions required to call Dash() are true. dashcount == 2 && dashCD1 is false, and dashcount == 1 && dashCD2 is false. Try logging those values to see what they are

[tawny bolt]

sorry i am new wdym by logging

[frosty lantern]

debug.log

[tawny bolt]

ok

[frosty lantern]

you can turn variable values into strings so that you can read values at runtime in the console

[tawny bolt]

i will try that

[naive pawn]

that's not limited to strings

[rich adder]

**objects

[tawny bolt]

this is what i got

[polar acorn]

Okay, so both of those dashCDs are false, so of course it's not calling Dash anywhere

[tawny bolt]

i do get the fallse from both DashCD

ok

so do i just go and do
public bool DashDc = true;?

for both

[rich adder]

why do you put that variable if ur just gonna set it true in inspector

what is literally the point of that variable 🤔

[polar acorn]

Well, you're starting a timer to set them to true, and if that's not happening, you need to find out either why it's not finishing those invokes or where else it's setting it to false

because solely based off of the tiny window into your code you've provided, they should become true after 3 seconds

[tawny bolt]

if (dashCD1 == false)
{
Invoke("Dash1", 3);
DashChance1.interactable = true;
}
if (dashCD2 == false)
{
Invoke("Dash2", 3);
DashChance2.interactable = true;
}
}

`private void Dash1()`
`{`

dashCD1 = true;
}
private void Dash2()
{
dashCD2 = true;
}
this is what i did for the variable

https://gdl.space/wosebudomu.cs
my full code

[polar acorn]

if you don't ever press the dash key, do you ever see either of those CD variables log true

[frosty lantern]

https://gdl.space/arikosanig.cs
This is my entire chesspiece code, the ValidateMove(Vector3Int attempt) method is making all objects green when I am hovering over the last move in my basicHexMoves array, because it logs seeing all of the valid moves but overwrites them back to white

[tawny bolt]

they still come false

they came like this after spamming

but the number never got minused

how ?

[polar acorn]

Change your logs to something easier to read:

Debug.Log($"{gameObject.name} - Dashcount: {dashcount}, CD1: {dashCD1}, CD2: {dashCD2}");

Now you can know for sure which ones are true and false

[violet nova]

https://gdl.space/qekadohuqu.cs

if (userWizard != null)

this value returns null

[polar acorn]

Where do you set userWizard

[tawny bolt]

after spamming

[polar acorn]

Okay, and does it ever come out with True, True

[tawny bolt]

yes

[violet nova]

using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.UI;

public class playerController : MonoBehaviour
{
public float speed = 5f;
public WizardActions userWizard;

[polar acorn]

Okay and where do you set userWizard

[tawny bolt]

but i have to press a key to make it true from false otherwise it never starts as true

[tawny bolt]

fixed that

by making the values true in inspector

but still the same bug

[polar acorn]

Okay, so, when they're both true, hit the dash button. Do you get the log from inside one of those conditions?

[tawny bolt]

this

i get this

[polar acorn]

Again, after both say True, hit dash.

Does your "minused" log appear

[tawny bolt]

no

thats what i am confused about

[polar acorn]

Can you show a screenshot of your entire console window, after the logs start saying true, true and you've hit the dash button

[tawny bolt]

ok

[polar acorn]

make sure to include the corner that shows the message counts and settings

[tawny bolt]

gimme a minute

[short gust]

https://gdl.space/lonayariwo (hope link will work)
I have this code that being used in CodeMonkey's tutorial on field of view simulation with generated mesh as a mask (quality of that code is questionable, but I just use it to get things done and simple testing)
And it "works" in it's core, but I have an offset that increases/decreases while player is moving because I'm using this generated mesh from tutorial as a child of a player's empty gameObject that works like eyes placement, not as individual separated gameObject, like it was in tutorial (because when I do this - it works as intendent ofc)
Funny enough I understand why it does that, but I simply can't get an idea how to prevent this offset with parenting without some convoluted substraction, lol
I've tried using Vector3.zeros as _origin, some Transform methods, etc. - it's all just make weird bugs/artifacts and not working as intendent
Pic 1 - when mesh is a child object of that eyes object and using it's transform as _origin, pic 2 - when mesh is separated and eyes object is set through inspector and _origin is it's position

[willow scroll]

https://gdl.space/lonayariwo

[short gust]

yeah, thanks, fixed the link

[tawny bolt]

after i hit the dash button

[willow scroll]

So it's simply a constant offset being applied to the Mesh when it's a child of the GameObject?

[short gust]

yeap

[willow scroll]

In this case you wouldn't need to add an offset, as its start position is already the position of that parent object

[polar acorn]

Okay so you remember when I said to send:

• The whole log including the top corner
• After it says True, True

Also, scroll to the bottom so it's showing the most recent messages

[tawny bolt]

this ?

[polar acorn]

Okay, good. I wanted to make sure errors weren't hidden and collapse was off. I'm assuming that CD1 is becoming false after you hit the dash button, which would imply that it is now working

You can comment out that log and see if you get any of your other logs when you enter one of those conditions

see if it ever prints your "minused" log

[tawny bolt]

ok ima try that

[tawny bolt]

thats the problem

now it prints minused

what do you think the soulution should be

[polar acorn]

What is the problem

it's calling Dash now

[tawny bolt]

if (dashCD1 == false)
{
Invoke("Dash1", 3);
DashChance1.interactable = true;
}
if (dashCD2 == false)
{
Invoke("Dash2", 3);
DashChance2.interactable = true;
}

i want this to work

private void Dash1()
{
dashCD1 = true;
}
private void Dash2()
{
dashCD2 = true;
}

[polar acorn]

And why do you think it doesn't

[tawny bolt]

cuz i remove my dash to false and then it just stays true

[polar acorn]

Well, if you remove the thing that sets it to false, it would no longer become false. That makes sense.

Why would it not?

[tawny bolt]

thne this not come back to its orignal state

just stays empty

[polar acorn]

I have no idea what this is

[tawny bolt]

dashCD in ui

[polar acorn]

At no point in any of the discussions we've been having have you ever mentioned anything related to UI

[tawny bolt]

sory got off point

the delay stops working

the invoke method

[polar acorn]

Well, every frame that the boolean is false, you start up a new timer that sets it to true 3 seconds later. Meaning once the first one's time is up, you have 3 seconds of queued "true"s to burn through before it can ever become false again

Maybe instead of starting the timer every frame it's false, you start the timer once when the value becomes false

[tawny bolt]

how do i do that ?

[polar acorn]

#💻┃code-beginner message

[frosty lantern]

So I tried logging the indices of the moves that get colored correctly, and my king with 12 files only gets colored green on file 10 (index 9)
queen is colored on file 12 (index 11)
my knight is colored on file 12 (index 11) as well
My pawn with one move technically works fin since it only has one move (index 0)
My rook is colored on move 12 of file 6 (index 5, 11)

Actually, one of my other rooks gets colored at index (5,10)
and another knight logs at (9,0)

By colored correctly I mean that the entire thing turns green on those moves and not the others

I still need it to color them individually as needed

[gleaming burrow]

I have problem because my character in my 2D game doesn't jump when I press the space key, my jump system works but the character dosn't take account if I press jump key more time

[wintry quarry]

Very confusing. I can't figure out if your jump works or not.

my character in my 2D game doesn't jump

my jump system works

[gleaming burrow]

my jump work

[wintry quarry]

What are you actually asking

[rare basin]

your jump works but it doesnt jump?

[gleaming burrow]

it doesn't jump if i press more time the jump key

[rare basin]

show the code and describe the issue, because we still cannot understand what's wrong

and what is the desired behaviour

[wintry quarry]

Is it supposed to? Explain what you want and what's actually happening.

you should not be reading input in FixedUpdate

Input.GetButtonDown in FixedUpdate is 🚫

input handling belongs in Update

[gleaming burrow]

So ok I just follow thetutorial for see if it works but I never used FixeUpdate before

thanks I will try it

Yes I will never used fixeUpdate again because it not woks correctly

thanks @wintry quarry

[wintry quarry]

this is not what you should take away from here

Input handling goes in Update
Phyics code goes in FixedUpdate

Anyone could help me with my script?
So i got this GameObject called FacilityDoor. Inside it i got 2 3D objects called FacilityDoor1 and FacilityDoor2.
Now i want the door to open when i click the door so i was working on this script but for some reason it doesnt work. Could anyone tell me why?
Both scripts under.
FacilityDoorScript.cs

public class FacilityDoorScript : MonoBehaviour
{
    [SerializeField] private float rayLength = 5f;
    [SerializeField] private KeyCode openDoorKey = KeyCode.E;

    private void Update()
    {
        if (Input.GetKeyDown(openDoorKey))
        {
            RaycastHit hit;
            Vector3 fwd = transform.TransformDirection(Vector3.forward);

            if (Physics.Raycast(transform.position, fwd, out hit, rayLength))
            {
                FacilityDoorController FacilityDoorController = hit.collider.GetComponent<FacilityDoorController>();
                if (FacilityDoorController != null)
                {
                    FacilityDoorController.dooropen();
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

FacilityDoorController.cs

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

public class FacilityDoorController : MonoBehaviour
{
    private bool DoorOpen = false;

    public GameObject door1;
    public GameObject door2;
 

    private void Awake()
    {

    }

    public void dooropen()
    {
        Destroy(door1);
    }

    public void doorclose()
    {

    }
}

both are attached to the FacilityDoor1 in the GameObject, inspector and on GameObject 1 field the FacilityDoor1 is placed

[wintry quarry]

What does "it doesn't work" mean?

[empty ice]

So if you look at FacilityDoorController.cs , the second script to test it out i wanted the door to be destroyed. Althought for some reason even when dooropen() void is triggered nothing happens

[wintry quarry]

alaso instead of Vector3 fwd = transform.TransformDirection(Vector3.forward) you can just use transform.forward

[empty ice]

My bad i forgot to mention that

[wintry quarry]

Is the code even running?

You need to use Debug.Log to check

you should also make sure your console window is open

[empty ice]

Like Debug.Log("") ?

[wintry quarry]

With an actual message of course

[empty ice]

Yes alright ill check

[wintry quarry]

Debug.Log("This is the DoorOpen function!");```

[empty ice]

Give me a second ill check, there were no errors in the console so i thought that means that the code works fine

[wintry quarry]

obviously the code doesn't work fine if it's not doing what you want it to do.
that would be the opposite of "working fine"

[polar acorn]

It does. With no errors, the code is doing exactly what you tell it to do. You just told it to do the wrong thing.

[empty ice]

on FacilityDoorController Awake works since it sends out message but when i click on the door nothing happens. It doesnt debug or anything so the problem lays withing the FacilityDoorScript then?

[wintry quarry]

well where did you put your logs?

[empty ice]

wdym

[summer stump]

There is a location that you write code.
It would be in some method. Between some lines
Where is that location

[wintry quarry]

I recommend something like this:

if (Physics.Raycast(transform.position, fwd, out hit, rayLength))
{
    Debug.Log($"The raycast hit {hit.collider.name}");
    FacilityDoorController FacilityDoorController = hit.collider.GetComponent<FacilityDoorController>();
    if (FacilityDoorController != null)
    {
        Debug.Log($"{hit.collider.name} had a FacilityDoorController!");
        FacilityDoorController.dooropen();
    }
    else {
        Debug.Log($"{hit.collider.name} did NOT have a FacilityDoorController!");
    }
}
else {
  Debug.Log("The raycast didn't hit anything");
}```

now you can actually know what's going on.

[empty ice]

Alright thank you, ill check

[empty ice]

I still dont understand

[wintry quarry]

We expected an answer like "I put it right before the raycast if statement" or just showing the code with the logs in it to explain where the logs are

[summer stump]

I don't really understand what part you are not getting

If I write this:
public void Start() {
Debug.Log("something");
}

And someone asked where I put the log, I would say "I put it in start"

[empty ice]

Oh like that

No debug or anything is comming from the script. The only one im getting is from Awake().
I got a box collider on the door, isTrigger enabled. So i dont know what could be wrong

could it be that its an child of an GameObject like i said before? Since the FacilityDoor1 in which both scripts are placed in is inside a GameObject called FacilityDoor

[polar acorn]

If you have other debug logs in the code, and they aren't printing anything, then those lines of code are not being run.

So, where are those logs you're not seeing?

[empty ice]

And in the script its ```Hit.collider.GetComponent<FacilityDoorController>();

Shouldn it be something like getchildren or something like that since the object is a child of FacilityDoor?

[ember oasis]

could anyone tell me why my IEnumerator in one script works fine but in another script gives me the error "not all code paths return a value"

[empty ice]

{
    Debug.Log($"The raycast hit {hit.collider.name}");
    FacilityDoorController FacilityDoorController = hit.collider.GetComponent<FacilityDoorController>();
    if (FacilityDoorController != null)
    {
        Debug.Log($"{hit.collider.name} had a FacilityDoorController!");
        FacilityDoorController.dooropen();
    }
    else {
        Debug.Log($"{hit.collider.name} did NOT have a FacilityDoorController!");
    }
}
else {
  Debug.Log("The raycast didn't hit anything");
}

I used this one

[polar acorn]

If you are not getting any logs, then this function is not running

[summer stump]

The second one has no yield return in every path

[polar acorn]

Probably because not all code paths return a value in the other one

[ember oasis]

ah thank you

[wintry quarry]

Is your script event attached to an active object?

[empty ice]

Yes it's attached to the FacilityDoor1 wich is inside FacilityDoor. (GameObject)

[wintry quarry]

why is it attached to the door

shouldn't it be attached to your player?

[empty ice]

Ah. im such an idiot

Now it works

bruh, sorry im new to coding and thought it was supposed to be attached to the code

but thank you so much

[wary sigil]

would these be correct for trying to get a button to store its' name on click?

[ember oasis]

could someone tell me how to make a trigger such that when the player leaves an area before a certain amount of time passes they trigger an event

[slender nymph]

no. https://unity.huh.how/unity-events/incorrect-assignment

[summer stump]

In OnTriggerStay, check a bool, if it is true or false (pick one), send an event
In update, decrement a float
Also in update, if the float is below 0, set the bool to whatever you want to check

That is one way. Could use a coroutine, could do the timer in OnTriggerStay if they are in it the whole time.

[green ether]

or just OnTriggerExit

If you dont want to do stuff every frame in OnTriggerStay

Countdown would need to be somewhere though

[rich adder]

Start timer on TriggerEnter
Check on TriggerExit what timer is when left

[summer stump]

Yeah, my thinking was that they may NOT actually exit the trigger. But I guess no need to check that every frame. If OnTriggerExit isn't called, they are still in it

[wary sigil]

would people know why the function for the script is greyed out and locked to this value?

[wintry quarry]

Because it's just telling you what script that is

It wouldn't make sense for it to be editable

[rich adder]

whats up with that file name

[summer stump]

You have a script called OnIMGClick("Image1;") !?

[wary sigil]

I don't

[summer stump]

It says you do

[rich adder]

can you show the class name and filename

this looks very odd

[wary sigil]

oh maybe I do

[rich adder]

haha yeah that filename is wild

[wary sigil]

the file is supposed to be buttonclickhandler though

[rich adder]

so name your file that

[summer stump]

That is the class name.

You named the file, you can also rename it

[rich adder]

in unity those two must match btw

[wary sigil]

this is the class name?

[rich adder]

thats filename

[wary sigil]

why are they different

[rich adder]

class name is the name that is literally next to the keyword class

[rich adder]

you tell us lol

[wary sigil]

I'm so lost haha

[rich adder]

mate, just rename it lol

make sure it matches the class name

[wary sigil]

how do you rename the one on the side

[rich adder]

right click? rename ?

you're renaming the filename not the class

the class is fine

its normally allowed to have different filename and class name, but in unity not so much

[wary sigil]

yeah I think I tried to do that but it doesn't copy over

oh

restarting unity fixed it

probably a local issue

[rich adder]

wdym by "copy over"

[summer stump]

I was gonna say, the asset on the left looked fine. That was weird

I was gonna suggest copying the code onto a new script and deleting the old one

[quaint anchor]

sorry to be a bother but i'm new to unity, how do i make solid ground for 2D, I created a square as a 2D object and added a tilemap collider to it but my player just clips thru the floor

[summer stump]

Does the PLAYER have a collider?

[quaint anchor]

yes the player has both a box collider and circle collider

[summer stump]

Are either collider set to isTrigger?

Ground or player I mean

[quaint anchor]

nope

should i set player to isTrigger ?

[summer stump]

No

Show the editor with the player selected

[rich adder]

show what you mean by "clip through"

also yeah show inspectors

[quaint anchor]

for the player

for the square

this is what i mean clip through, just doesnt collide

[summer stump]

Just to be clear. I said editor, not inspector

[rich adder]

can you show the gizmos of the tilemap colliders
(select the Tilemap, make sure Gizmos is enabled)

[summer stump]

Can you show the whole editor, uncropped

[rich adder]

does it still happen if you disable the script ?

I see player script there, could be causing issues

[summer stump]

That scale is wildly massive

[rich adder]

also yeah lol wtf

[summer stump]

48 meters tall

[quaint anchor]

yeah needed the character to show up lol it was tiny before

just scaled it up

[rich adder]

gonna take a wild guess and say groundchecks are not properly working

[quaint anchor]

disabled the script and nothing happened

[rich adder]

also is that a dynamic rigidbody ?

[quaint anchor]

yes

[summer stump]

Worried that you have a script called CharacterController, a Rigidbody, and a CharacterMovement script

Did you find the CharacterController2d script online?

[quaint anchor]

yes

[summer stump]

Is that the one you disabled?

[quaint anchor]

the character controller 2d script came from online, character movement is mine

[quaint anchor]

yes

[polar acorn]

So, question: Did you happen to drag this script file into a UnityEvent and then change it's .name?

[summer stump]

The former

Also not a code question

#📲┃ui-ux or #💻┃unity-talk

[polar acorn]

Whenever anything on a canvas changes, every element on that canvas redraws. In general, anything that animates should be on its own canvas

[fallow silo]

sry , my bad

[languid spire]

nothing there will give a performance boost, both options will degrade performance

[summer stump]

I dunno what is going on. I would try fully removing the CharacterController, setting the scale back down to 1,1,1, and then move the character up a little to avoid starting in the ground collider

[polar acorn]

Fair point

[quaint anchor]

alright let me give that a try

[summer stump]

Show the whole editor with the ground selected

[polar acorn]

Doing nothing is always faster than doing something

[summer stump]

Ok, that looks fine

[quaint anchor]

the issue with when scale is 1 1 1 is that the camera is like this and i cannot see anything

since the character is so small

[summer stump]

Move the camera closer and set the size smaller

[rich adder]

is that even a tile?

[summer stump]

What is the z position of the camera

[slender nymph]

this is because you used the MonoScript.name property and assigned it to that from the button #💻┃code-beginner message

[rich adder]

doesnt seem thats tiles painted

[quaint anchor]

how do i paint tiles? just assumed adding the collider would be enough

and it would recognise the square as the tile

[rich adder]

You paint tiles by creating a tilepalette

nope

thats a sprite renderer, not tilemap renderer

[quaint anchor]

this ??

[rich adder]

if you want to paint tiles you need a tilemap yes

[quaint anchor]

okay that makes a bit more sense

i do have a tilemap already

[rich adder]

yes but ur mixing a sprite renderer with tilemap

if you were to add a box collider to ur sprite you'd probably get collisions

[quaint anchor]

right

okay so how do i paint the sprites given this

[rich adder]

right and youd select the paint brush and paint them

https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/Tilemap-Painting.html

[quaint anchor]

ah i see

okay well

the player still falls through

do i need to set one as isTrigger?

[summer stump]

Again, no

IsTrigger means there will be no collision/it is not a physical object

[quaint anchor]

oh

[rich adder]

id remake the whole tilemap by the menu

tilemap needs to live in grid

[quaint anchor]

done that

[rich adder]

and did you add tilemap collider to the new tilemap

[quaint anchor]

forgot, sorry

okay it works now, perfect thank you

[rich adder]

[summer stump]

So the issue was that it was a tilemap collider but not in a grid or painted from the tilepallet?

I am not great with 2d

[rich adder]

Seems like they Added a box at first, the name was Square still it seems

and then they probably added tilemap collider and tilemap components on it thinking it would work as part of collider

that would imply they would have removed the original box collider for making tilemap

[summer stump]

Ah ok, and that does NOT work.
Well, thanks, now I'll know for the future.

[rich adder]

haha yeah TIlemap is weird like that, you have to paint tiles inside of it since the tiles are not technically in the world space

Materials are putting textures on the model

That is what putting a texture on a model means

[pallid iron]

ohh gotcha

what i wanna figure out is;
how do i make the zipper look.. well
more as it should?

[polar acorn]

Without knowing what it should look like I can only assume you need a material with a shader that does what you expect. This isn't code related so it is probably a question for #🔀┃art-asset-workflow , #💻┃unity-talk , or possibly #archived-shaders

[pallid iron]

alright, i'm gonna delete these messages and ask the question there if that's okay

[polar acorn]

Yes. Pick one and ask there, don't post in all three

[desert citrus]

hey guys does anyone have any tips im doing 2d top down game and i guess my default state is set to idle down because after moving when i dont press buttons character looks down. How can i make it so that the character keeps looking the way it was last moving. Example: if i press D i want it to keep looking right even after i dont touch keyboard. thank you

[wintry quarry]

just don't set the state when input is zero

it will retain whatever it was

[desert citrus]

oh yeah thank you so much man 🙂

[cobalt dagger]

how do i make an object face another object in 2D?

[wintry quarry]

Vector2 dirToObject = target.position - objectToTurn.position;
objectToTurn.right = dirToObject;```

(or possibly .up, depending on how your sprite is laid out)

[cobalt dagger]

oh okay

[desert citrus]

im sorry for spam but how would you recomment i do that? should i do it directly in the animator or the playermovement script

[wintry quarry]

I was talking about the code

hard to say specifics without seeing what you have already

[cobalt dagger]

it works thank you

[desert citrus]

alright cheers i will try it out now

[buoyant meteor]

how do i just get a script from an object using getComponent

[honest haven]

            StartCoroutine(rotationTriangle.RotateCubesClockwise());
        }
    }``` Hi need some help please. what im trying to do is set the active batters index into a list. and then when the rotate they change postion. So im trying to keep track of what player is in what postion. so player 1 = 1 player 2 = 2 and player 3 = 3. if the rotate i want to update the list in ++1 but of course there is only 3 so i want it to loop so player 1=2, player 2=3 and player 3 =1. but i dont know how to bring player 3 back down to 1. trying to almost do it like an array becuase on the last one if i did ++ that would go back to zero correct?

i cant hard code it like above becuase next time they rotate it will be player 1 = 3, player 2 = 1 player 3=2 and so on. I juat dont know how to do it

[wintry quarry]

You answered your own question in your question!

[honest haven]

really lol where

array?

[wintry quarry]

I was replying to someone else

[honest haven]

sorry

[buoyant meteor]

well no... because I know how to get a script using getComponent then specifying the script name, but I don't want to specify the script name and just pull the first script it sees in an object.

[wintry quarry]

The first script will always be Transform

[wintry quarry]

Can you back up and explain what you're trying to actually do?

Because your question/description makes little sense. What use would it be to find "the first script"?

[buoyant meteor]

Well In my case I would have many weapons with each of them with their own script. Meaning each script on each weapon is different. So when a weapon collides with an enemy, I want the script I have setup inside my enemy to grab the weapons script and pull the damageAmount from the weapons script.

[wintry quarry]

why would a weapon have more than one weapon script on it?

[buoyant meteor]

they dont

each weapon only has one script

but each script has a different name respective to the weapon type

[wintry quarry]

You should be using either:

• Inheritance, where all your weapons inherit from a base Weapon script
• Interfaces, where they all implement an IWeapon interface
• composition where they all just have the same Weapon script on them with different stats on it

[buoyant meteor]

thats what I have set up

[wintry quarry]

So then what's the issue

You just do GetComponent<Weapon> or GetComponent<IWeapon> and you're done

[buoyant meteor]

is just that then each script on each weapon has a different name

[wintry quarry]

Also which one of the three do you have set up?

[wintry quarry]

Literally doesn't matter

[buoyant meteor]

interface

[wintry quarry]

IWeapon weapon = theObject.GetComponent<IWeapon>();
float damage = weapon.DamageAmount;``` or whatever you call your damage property

this is the whole point of interfaces

so you don't have to know which IWeapon it is, you just use the interface

[buoyant meteor]

Yup, on the learning curve with interfaces

so in your small example shouldnt DamageAmount actually be a method?

[wintry quarry]

Makes more sense as a property to me

unless you need parameters for it or something

[buoyant meteor]

how would that work then?

[wintry quarry]

Wdym?

It would work like any property works

Not to be confused with a field of course.

Interfaces can't have fields, but they can have properties, no problem.

[buoyant meteor]

ok I thought they couldnt have properties so let me look into that.

[wintry quarry]

There's nothing stopping interfaces from having properties

properties are really just methods anyway.

[buoyant meteor]

nvm im trippin

I was thinking about something else

[valid pulsar]

Im trying to make a turret that is two parts that rotates to face an object. I wrote some code That "works" but only for a single axis at a time (It works if the base is set to rotate and the gun isnt and vise versa). If i try enabling both at the same time it then dosent work. Also I believe there is an easer way to do what im doing because currently Im giving the boecjt a local rotation then another local rotation. (The base is has the y bool set to true and the gun has the z bool set to true)

[buoyant thistle]

how can i do that?

like is it a transform function?

[wintry quarry]

You either rotate the Transform or the Rigidbody if you have one

if you have a Rigidbody, you should generally be using that

[buoyant thistle]

so like rigidbody.rotate ?

[wintry quarry]

no not like that

[buoyant thistle]

like how

[wintry quarry]

Have you tried checking the documentation for Rigidbody2D? https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Rigidbody2D.html All of the functions and properties are there

[buoyant thistle]

no, ill go try that

thank you

[valid pulsar]

After some more testing I found that the turret barells rotation is not set properly.

[dusk minnow]

it is since i updatet sdk i think

[slender nymph]

make sure you have followed all of the steps for the guide

[dusk minnow]

alr, im updating the vsc editor rn, thanks bro

[slender nymph]

well that's wrong

[dusk minnow]

no

i mean in unity

[slender nymph]

yeah, i know

[dusk minnow]

first one here

[rich adder]

have you regen the project files

[slender nymph]

you should not be using the visual studio code editor package at all

[dusk minnow]

it is written there??

[slender nymph]

show me where you see it says to update the Visual Studio Code Editor package

[dusk minnow]

it said update befor

[slender nymph]

yes that is the correct package. you said "vsc editor" which is visual studio code editor, notably not the same thing

[dusk minnow]

mb, i also said the first thing noted up there tho

[slender nymph]

are you even using visual studio or are you using vs code

[dusk minnow]

vsc

[slender nymph]

well then "the first thing noted up there" is also wrong considering the first thing noted in the bot message is for visual studio

[dusk minnow]

thanks, doesnt help

[rich adder]

you're still missing the Unity extension aren't you ? Solution explorer missing

that should install C# Devkit with it

[dusk minnow]

I am not, they are not showing since i updated the sdk

[rich adder]

regen project files

clos vscode first

[dusk minnow]

how to do that

[dusk minnow]

is

[rich adder]

External Tools page where you connected Vscode in unity

[dusk minnow]

1 sec

yes

[dusk minnow]

am on it

ah i see it

[rich adder]

ok so click Regen and double click a c# file from unity

[dusk minnow]

done

bro nvm

idek i clicked it and it worked, before it didnt

[rich adder]

uh you should not click to use C# extensions

[dusk minnow]

Thank you anyways

[dusk minnow]

yes, bcs now it works

[rich adder]

Unity plugin uses Devkit

[dusk minnow]

why not

[dusk minnow]

SO what happens then?

[rich adder]

can you show which version of unity plugin you have

[rich adder]

fuck it, if it works it works ig..

[dusk minnow]

[dusk minnow]

Idek myself, if it works no touch it

[valid pulsar]

I tried using look at and I could get the barrel to face the target but it needed rotated 90degrees so it fit in the base properly and when I tried that it didn’t work. And every time I got to the 0 or 180 degrees is dis some weird rotation

[quartz mural]

can someone help me with my main menu please

when i press tutorial

it starts a new game

this is the code

[polar acorn]

Why does PlayGame load the scene it's already in

[quartz mural]

play game loads the correct scene

begginig is the name of the scene after

its the correct scene

thtat one workd

[polar acorn]

It loads whatever scene is currently loaded

[quartz mural]

it the tutorila one

so should i get rid if the playgame funcitno

[polar acorn]

What are you expecting to happen that isn't happening?

[quartz mural]

ok

so when i press

tutotiral

it takes me to the first scene

which is only supposed to come up

when i press new game

the tutoirla button

is supposed to load up a differe scene

but it doesn

the new game button works

[polar acorn]

So, the issue is that the tutorial button does not take you to the scene "Tutorial"?

[summer stump]

Slow down, and only hit enter when you finish a thought

[quartz mural]

yes

[polar acorn]

Unless you're getting an error, if you call that function, you're loading the scene "Tutorial"

Whether or not you actually stay in it is a matter unrelated to what you've posted so far

[quartz mural]

i just need to get there

idk why it doesnt load

[polar acorn]

Put a log before the LoadScene line. Does that log print?

[quartz mural]

all the buttons take me to the same scene

[quartz mural]

ok

nope

it doesnt come up

the log doesnt come up

[polar acorn]

Then nothing is running that function

[quartz mural]

wdym

but the code is there

is there smt wrong with it

[polar acorn]

If you put a log in that function, and that log doesn't run, then the function isn't running

Where are you trying to call that function from?

[quartz mural]

main menu script

[polar acorn]

Show

[quartz mural]

main menu script

[polar acorn]

Okay, so if you put a log in GoToNewTutorial before the load scene, and that's not logging, then this button is never clicked

[quartz mural]

ok

it doesnt come up

[polar acorn]

Then that button is never clicked

[quartz mural]

it is though? 😭

it changes scenes cuz i click it

[polar acorn]

Well, if you've shown that this button calls that function on click, and you've put a log in that function that will print something whenever the function runs, and you don't see the log, then that is 1000% inviolable proof that the button is not being clicked

So either it's not being clicked, or one of the facts above is incorrect.

The fact that it's going to a different scene seems to indicate that you're clicking on that button

[quartz mural]

i copied and pasted it

renames it

and gave it a differen location for the scene siwtch bit

to switch to a different scene

this one works

this one oesnt

[polar acorn]

Put a log in that function. Does that one print? What about when you put it in that function and try to click on what you assume is the TutorialButton? Does it print the same thing?

[quartz mural]

all of these buttons r subclasses

of the main menu

the main menu has the script

of main menu

[polar acorn]

Irrelevent

Put a log in GoToNewGame

[polar acorn]

attempt to click on TutorialButton

Does that log print

[quartz mural]

ok

[frigid sequoia]

Any idea why the reference to projectilePatternParent get lost SOMETIMES after performing the attack?

[quartz mural]

doesnt show for either

[polar acorn]

Is projectilePatternParent an object in the scene or a prefab

[quartz mural]

but still works?

that means the functino isnt used at all?????????????????????????

😭 😭 😭

mb

[polar acorn]

If this file was actually saved and compiled before entering play mode, and you're not getting the new game log, then that function is not being called either

[quartz mural]

yes

im aware of that now

but why

this script is connected to the Main menu

which is the parent class to the buttons

[polar acorn]

If it's properly assigned to a prefab, then the only way the reference could be getting lost is if something changes projectilePatternParent. If that variable is public, make it a serialized private variable instead so it can't be changed by another class

[polar acorn]

Because nothing calls these functions. Since you've sent screenshots of buttons that appear to be calling these functions either:
A) The object that they are calling functions of is not this script
B) The buttons are never being clicked at all

[quartz mural]

DONE

FIXED IT

it had another script attacked to it

[polar acorn]

On one of those buttons, click (once) on this object here. What highlights in the inspector?

[quartz mural]

thanks for the help bro

[polar acorn]

Okay, there we go

Remember, code cannot lie.

getaxisraw will return only 0 or 1?

[deft grail]

-1 0 1

[daring oasis]

oh ok thanks

[deft grail]

also you can just make this all one line
you dont need either the if statements or both the velocity lines, just one is fine

[daring oasis]

i saw that when i move diagonaly if i just set its velocity both velocities will be multiplied by the speed so i will move faster then the normal speed

[deft grail]

add the multiplication to where you set the actual float after the input

[frigid sequoia]

Just a quick random question that came to my mind; why is Random.insideUnitSphere a parameter and not a method? Cause it is missing the "()"

[teal viper]

You need to normalize the input before using it in the velocity calculation

[frigid sequoia]

Like it is supposed to be a generated value, not a set one right? Shouldn't that be a method?

[teal viper]

It's a property. Why did they decide to make it a property when most of the other API is a method? Go find the guy that wrote that part and ask them.😅

[teal viper]

You can generate values with properties.

[daring oasis]

what does the .normalize do (i tired looking at the docs i didnt really understand)

[teal viper]

It makes your vector have length/magnitude of 1

[teal viper]

What would be the length of a diagonal of a box with sides equal 1?

[daring oasis]

sqrt(2) ?

[frigid sequoia]

How? Isn't that like something that needs to be changed from somewhwere else?

[teal viper]

Which is?

[daring oasis]

google says 1.41421356237

[teal viper]

Properties are basically getter/setter methods

[frigid sequoia]

If I call MyScript.myValue; the value is gonna be always the same unless something else is changing that parameter before the last call

Isn't that the same?

[harsh wraith]

I am trying to put this image on my capsule, but I dont want it to fully cover the capsule. Is there a way for me to have the image show up as a square inside of the capsule?

[noble rover]

Hey so Im wanting to add 180 degree turn animation for my player I have 2, walk turn 180 and sprint turn 180, however I cant for the life of me find a tutorial that shows how to add this logic has anyone got a recommendation for one or would anyone mind having a look at my code its a modified script of Isteps third person controller and pointing me in the right direction https://paste.ofcode.org/TrTd6WWyW293PcQVVs5V3z

[teal viper]

Correct. So when you move diagonally, you multiply this value by speed. Understand?

[teal viper]

Do you understand what a property is?

[teal viper]

If myValue is a property, you can return whatever you want in it, including values you calculate inside.

[modest sierra]

I got a problem with my script. I got 3 gameObjects that I reference in this script. connection1 is the child of grabbedObject. The objective of this script is to match the position and rotation of the connection1 to connection2, but with the rotation being flipped so it sorta "mirrors" themselves. Since the grabbedObject is the parent and not the child of the connection 1, it doesnt move with it, so I do it through the script. This script should make it so the grabbedObject stays with connection1, moves its position and rotation offset (since connection1's position is offset from grabbedObject). However, it doesnt seem to work. connection1 doesnt rotate correctly and neither does the grabbedObject. Can anyone help me with this? Lmk if you dont understand what I explained.

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

[eternal needle]

public class C 
{
    Random rnd = new();
    public int NextRandom => rnd.Next(0,100);
}

just as an example

[eternal needle]

Probably via some UV mapping or shader stuff, whatever the lingo 3d artists use. Not code related unless you want to do stuff really backwards

[frigid sequoia]

I don't understand this. Can you just assign "new()" to a Random? And then you call that new Random to generate a integer within range ech time the parameter is called?

[daring oasis]

with solving this problem i learned what the magnitude of a vector is xD

[slender nymph]

that's just target typed new, it allows you to omit the type if the type is known. and that would be System.Random that you create instances for, UnityEngine.Random is static so you don't create an instance of it

[teal viper]

*property not parameter

[frigid sequoia]

What's the difference?

[teal viper]

Parameters are what you pass into method calls

Properties are what we are discussing

And you seem to be confusing then with member fields

[grizzled zealot]

I understand that I can write the code, but maybe someone else already did and also caught all the corner cases:

Is there a pooling library where I can register objects and automatically create pools for them? I don't want to have to code each pool, but instead just register a gameobject/prefab with a pool and say: create me a pool of those with a certain ID.

[frigid sequoia]

Aren't member fields properties?

Also, basically the member fields are just the parameters for the whole class for me XD

[teal viper]

No.

[teal viper]

No

private int intField;
public int IntProperty => SomeCrazyMath();
public int Method(int intParameter)
{
    return SomeCrazyMath2(intParameter);
}

Understand?

[eternal needle]

Not sure if a publicly available implementation is there but ive done something similar. its pretty much just a dictionary where the key is whatever you want and the value is the object pool. Though im starting to regret it because its introduced a fair amount of unneccessary complexity.

[frigid sequoia]

So the only difference is that Properties can be determined by some other method straigh from the class declaration, and Parameters are just within the methods?

[grizzled zealot]

Why do you think it caused unnecessary complexity? I would need object pools for a ton of things: bullets, different types of explotions, audio sources when a bullet hits something, etc.

[teal viper]

If you put it, like that, yes. That's the difference. Properties are simply syntax sugar for a method. It's the same as a method that returns the part after the arrow. You can also implement whole blocks of logic in a property. It doesn't have to call to other methods.

[cyan shoal]

Anybody know why my script for detection only works sometimes? Here's the script. ```using System.Collections;

The property below is gonna be converted to a method below it by the compiler. Property is just a syntax sugar for methods:

public int IntProperty
{
    Get
    {
        return 0;
    }
}

public int IntMethod()
{
    return 0;
}

[frigid sequoia]

Feel like the difference between Fields and Properties is kinda unnecesary, like basically a Field is a just a Property which value was just way simpler. But sure

I get it

[teal viper]

A field is an actual data in the class. It can be mapped to a physical place in memory. Properties are not. They are methods that return something.

[frigid sequoia]

Thxs, but I am gonna keep mistaken then all the time, they just seem near synonyms to me XD

I will try not to though

[timber tide]

properties are getter/setter methods in any other language

they are just c#'s sugar coated way to do things

[eternal needle]

well first thing, this object pool is likely gonna exist as its own all encompassing solution. Thats the purpose of it being made. Because of this, you're probably aiming to just have one of these, as a singleton. If not, well then now you're gonna have to inject the reference to the correct object pool in each and everything that uses it. Not always fun to do
2nd is you also have to handle resetting an object properly. This means like a pooled rigidbody (maybe a bullet) might need its velocity set to 0 when its released/gotten from the pool. Now that theres just a collection of object pools, all with objects that need to be reset in different ways, you have to figure out how you want to attach logic to reset an object.
In my case, i wanna also have some objects ignore collision from the character that spawned it so that a bullet doesnt hit the user it spawned from. This isnt really fun to setup. I know how to do it, but it doesnt feel right

[teal viper]

They're totally not the same.
Field is simply:

accessor type name;

Properties need to have a getter setter or implement a lambda(=>)

[frigid sequoia]

So if I do like public float MyFloatMethod(){//Calculate something to return}; that's considered a Property?

[teal viper]

No, that's a method. But you can implement it as a property.

public float MyFloatProperty
{
    Get
    {
        Calculate something to return;
    }
}

[timber tide]

they are similar, but another takeaway is that you don't need to invoke properties like methods

but again, just c#'s special syntax of creating these types of getters

[frigid sequoia]

Ok, sure. It makes sense

[timber tide]

auto properties though could be confusing though as they are both a getter/setter and a field

hence, property field

[frigid sequoia]

So if I have a Property and I call it and it is assigned to a method, it would just be like exactly the same that calling that method to begin with.

So, yeah, basically sorta of a getter

[teal viper]

Why would you need it if you have a method that does the same thing? Properties are not for that.

Though, sometimes thy are used for that as well for readability

[teal viper]

So, imagine you have an inventory class that contains a list of items. You don't want to expose the list to outside the class, but you want to know the amount of items in the inventory, so what you could do is implement a property that returns the list count:

public int ItemsCount => itemsList.Count;

That's a typical use case for properties. You can implement it with a method of course, but property makes it so much easier.

[grizzled zealot]

so now you use ObjectPool<T> instead?

[eternal needle]

ObjectPool is already generic, i just have a dictionary of them

[frigid sequoia]

I get that, but I also don't know why I would even want to hide something like that. But sure.

[slender nymph]

well typically you wouldn't want outside objects to have direct access to the list contained in your inventory, that would allow those other objects to modify the list potentially putting your inventory into an invalid state. so you'd expose the count through a property like that

[grizzled zealot]

When you use ObjectPool, do you still see the GOs in in the hierarchy?

[eternal needle]

Yes they exist in a scene, an ObjectPool is nothing special related to a gameobject. its just a collection of gameobjects and gives you whatever ones are available

[frigid sequoia]

Yeah, I could also make a public method that does exactly that if a really wanted that list to remain private; so I don't really get the use. Just another way of doing it I guess

[slender nymph]

the property is a method though. properties are just methods that look like variables to reduce the number of actual methods you are writing. you don't need special Get and Set methods because that's what properties are for

[timber tide]

It really does confuse me that you don't need to invoke properties, especially on the caller side of things

which means that it's up to naming convention usually to clarify it for me

[slender nymph]

just don't have public fields, then you know that everything you are working with is a property 🤷‍♂️

[teal viper]

To have good code obviously.

[frigid sequoia]

So whatever I have there is calculated at runtime when calling a Property?

[slender nymph]

yes public int ItemsCount => itemsList.Count; works *exactly the same as pubic int GetItemsCount() { return itemsList.Count; }

it's just easier and prettier to write

[frigid sequoia]

Ok, I kinda see where I can use it now

[deft grail]

is this your own script?

it needs to have a different name

[modern rover]

it is my own

what should the name be

[deft grail]

actually no it doesnt, because you have a lower case i

[deft grail]

the name of the file and the class name doesnt match

[modern rover]

yeah i just started coding so i jsut followed a tutorial for how to make the camera look around and i got stuck

[deft grail]

you should make them be the same, ideally upper case, which then would require having a different name

[rocky canyon]

keep ur filename and class names identical

[modern rover]

here is the file name

u cant see it here

is that correct?

[rocky canyon]

looks that way

[slender nymph]

you probably have compile errors preventing unity from seeing that there is a MonoBehaviour in that file

[slender nymph]

exactly

[modern rover]

yeah i noticed this error for a while and i dont know how to fix it

private PlayerInput.basicActions basic;

this line

[slender nymph]

if that is what the code looks like in vs code then you haven't saved it

[modern rover]

its definitly saved

[slender nymph]

this screenshot says otherwise because that line of code is different here

and the error implies otherwise because it actually matches up with what that screenshot shows

[modern rover]

im jsut messing with it but the error is ther efor both versions

[slender nymph]

did you copy the code from a tutorial?

[modern rover]

pretty much

i mean i just followed the steps

[slender nymph]

pay better attention to the tutorial, your code is not exactly the same

and it's all because you've named your input actions PlayerInput and just allowed vs code to import the incorrect namespace

[modern rover]

ok ill try again thanks for helping

[brittle isle]

The unfortunate catch with my code for my mercy invincibility is that I can push enemies around, even when I told it to ignore collisions. at least it doesn't stay invincible. https://hatebin.com/qhergypwtq

[faint osprey]

    // Start is called before the first frame update
    void Start()
    {
        rb = gameObject.GetComponent<Rigidbody>();
    }

    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update()
    {
        if(dir[1] == true)
        {
            rb.position -= -transform.right * conveyorSpeed * Time.deltaTime;
            rb.MovePosition(rb.position + -transform.right * conveyorSpeed * Time.deltaTime);

        if (dir[3] == true)
        {
            rb.position -= -transform.forward * conveyorSpeed * Time.deltaTime;
            rb.MovePosition(rb.position + -transform.forward * conveyorSpeed * Time.deltaTime);
        }
    }``` Im using this script to immatate a moving conveyor and im attaching the script to multiple game objects and flicking certain bools in the array to true to get it to go in different directions however they all act as if the same bool is true for every instance of the script and I dont know why

[worthy veldt]

try using else if

[faint osprey]

didnt work

thats not the issue

the issue is it thinks a bool is true when it isnt

[worthy veldt]

what do you mean by flicking the bools in the array ?, show the code

[teal viper]

That's physically impossible

[rich adder]

instead of guessing, have you actually logged the values or use debugger

[frigid sequoia]

That sounds like YOU think it is false when it isn't

[polar acorn]

If the array that dir references has a true in its second slot, this object will move to the left (twice, by the way).

If the array that dir references has a true in its fourth slot, this object will move backwards (twice, by the way).

If an object is moving like that, then those booleans are set that way

[frosty lantern]

I'm having 2 issues: only my pawns can move forward reliably, the knights, horses, king, bishop and rook are finnicky (they do work on occasion and not on others and I can't make heads or tails of what to debug)

the second issue is that after I implemented the gameManager script I am getting null errors out of the woozah

• BitBoard

https://gdl.space/isimasorud.cpp

• BoardCoord

https://gdl.space/jedeginapu.cs

• GameManager

https://gdl.space/wojuqizito.cs

• ChessPiece

https://gdl.space/ivuluxujuq.cs

• Piece Setup

https://gdl.space/usanovusup.cs

I have to sleep but if anyone happens to see what I don't please ping me

[frosty lantern]

Through further testing I've also found that the logic that prevents jumping pieces in the display moves section also doesn't work correctly

For the rooks and queens. The bishop works fine and so does the knight and the king

[loud mango]

is there any way to keep a Debug.DrawRay for longer time?

or until i close the game?

[rich adder]

the parameter for duration?

[loud mango]

yeh

[rich adder]

so use that

[loud mango]

idk how

idk the parameter thats why

[rich adder]

is ur IDE not showing it to you ?

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Debug.DrawRay.html

[loud mango]

its just showing the basic parameters

till the color

[rich adder]

there are more signatures tho

[loud mango]

welp, imma try it real quick

ohki its working now

thanks!

[rich adder]

so its a float, so prob at most you can do float.MaxValue

[loud mango]

i never noticed the Duration parameter

cuz debugging the ray was not needed till now

[loud mango]

how do i debug something after in the built game

like, when i shoot, i think my crosshair is not in the middle of the screen cuz the bullet's not hitting everytime

and i dont think there can be any other reason for them not hitting

[rich adder]

yeah debugs dont work in build, you'd have to create some Line Renderers most likely

[loud mango]

do u have any examples / links maybe?

nvm its fixed

[willow scroll]

Debugging directly on the screen works

[rich adder]

wdym on screen?

[willow scroll]

You may implement a small UI console and add the messages to it using tmp texts

[rich adder]

na I think they were trying to see their Debug.DrawLine in build

[willow scroll]

Got it

[rich adder]

or maybe i misunderstood what they wanted to debug lol

[loud mango]

this is correct

i wanted to debug the raycast in built version

[young fossil]

Hey guys, so about the new input system. How are control schemes meant to work?

To my understanding they were input modes that were defined by me but they seem to automatically change depending on the input detected.

So for example, I use the mouse/keyboard, I touch the joystick and it automatically switches to that

[rocky canyon]

thats desired behaviour i believe.. unity automatically detects which device is being used and automtically switches..
you can tailor inputs for certain things.. 1 scheme for kb 1 scheme for joystick.. or a scheme that has both types of inputs for a singular action..
the old input system for example has two bindings for each Axis.. you could remove extra's if u wanted (by default i think both the old and new input system is enabled)
you could handle swapping manually to only use 1 type of input.. or remove any trace of a certain type of input from the controls

[young fossil]

Okay, so from what I can see there is no option to disable the automatic control scheme switching. In my case, I want the control scheme to be defined by the options menu

[boreal hare]

Hello

[burnt wyvern]

hi, i need help making a character climb a wall, not wall jump but like climb up. my code rn has a lot of bugs and isnt working properly and im not sure what to do to fix it.
https://gdl.space/ebuzaxiqoc.cs
here is my code

[rocky canyon]

you can manually chose which scheme to use using code

[young fossil]

It wont switch automatically then?

[rocky canyon]

you just have to create 2 schemes.. 1 for just the keyboard w/ no alternative keys like a joystick

[young fossil]

Sorry to be persistant in asking, just don't want to write a system for Unity to just ignore it xD

[boreal hare]

Coroutines are trash if you use alot of methods?

[young fossil]

Yep, have that

[rocky canyon]

does it still respond to joystick inputs if u set it to only use hte new input system.. (in player settings active input handling is set to use both)

[young fossil]

Is there any decent documentation on any of this you know of?

[rocky canyon]

if ur schemes only include keyboard inputs i wouldnt think it'd respond to joystick inputs

theres lots of tutorials.. https://learn.unity.com/project/using-the-input-system-in-unity

[young fossil]

Okay, so wait. Let's get this straight:

You have a map of keybindings called an "Input Action Asset".

Then inside each of those, you have Control Schemes which are defined in the Unity window.

So currently I have a single "default" Input Action Asset that contains two control schemes: keyboard&mouse and gamepad.

[young fossil]

Did this by the way, it has helped yea

[young fossil]

When the Gamepad is interacted with, it switches to that. Same for keyboard&mouse. That functionality is handy but in my context breaks my Input handling system, which I want it to be user defined in the options menu

[rocky canyon]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e30i55Hp-to&ab_channel=SasquatchBStudios
and also theres an argument to be made that you Want unity to actively be using both..
you said you wanted to chose in a menu.. but say I wanted to use a Joystick.. but it defaults to keyboard..
say i use a joystick b/c i dont have a keyboard.. how would i navigate thru the menu's to change it to use the joystick?

[young fossil]

Yes. It is a good feature, actually I have made a project with what you describe there. But for this feature the game only should switch depending on an in-game setting

[rocky canyon]

i can't find any specific tutorials on how to force it to use just keyboard but the new input system is supposed to be modular.. and allow u to use different schemes.. or no schemes.. etc.. #🖱️┃input-system would know how

[young fossil]

Actually, to add to that, I can't find an tutorials OR documentation.

[rocky canyon]

https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.inputsystem@1.8/manual/index.html
https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.inputsystem@1.0/manual/QuickStartGuide.html
https://unity.com/features/input-system
https://gamedevbeginner.com/input-in-unity-made-easy-complete-guide-to-the-new-system/

[young fossil]

I found this and it's where all the new input stuff is

[rocky canyon]

theres lots of documentation...

[young fossil]

Yea, I think you're missing what I'm getting at, there is no methods/built-in functionality that implies you can use the Input system's control schemes manually. Instead to my understanding, the automatic behavior is not configurable...

Which further implies that it shouldn't be used like that, right? Confusing since it's a pretty concrete feature across many game engines

[rocky canyon]

its an entire system.. not compareable to a single built-in method ud find in a Math class for example..
i dont think its fair to imply it couldn't and probably pretty straight forward to code yourself given a bit of research

doesn't imply it shouldnt be used like that.. as it is a full replacement for the old one.. what u can do with the old one u can do with the new one.. + more.. not less

seems around the web, ppl do use it like that

[burnt wyvern]

very sad i cant use new input system

i hate old input system

[rocky canyon]

yea, its pretty lame.. I'm slowly using the new one more often than not

[burnt wyvern]

im stuck on unity 2018.2

[rocky canyon]

and now that the newer versions of unity have both systems enabled default.. it helps me use it more often

[burnt wyvern]

ios 8 support 👍

[near siren]

Can I ask a question about learning Unity

[young fossil]

I get your first point, yes. But for this project I do not want to take a well-defined system which has automatic behaviors I can't control out of the box and root it out using quick hacky solutions. That would create tons of problems later, especially when porting the project to newer versions when the Input system changes.

I'm still 99% sure there is an option for manual switching

Thanks though I appreciate your help. Like you say, guess it just needs more research on the forums and how others have done it

[rocky canyon]

https://forum.unity.com/threads/multiple-control-schemes-or-actions.727583/

[rocky canyon]

heres a thread that looks like it may have some promising info

[near siren]

I am watching a tutorial that is asking me to use Unity events. I understand code but I feel like learning this is useless because theres no way I could reproduce changing the editor. Do people usually modify the editor like this?

[young fossil]

Thanks, I found the exact one too xDD was reading it when you pinged me

[rocky canyon]

its useful skill to have to write editor scripts.. i've written a few to help me do tedious tasks or automate a process..
you wouldn't need to know how to write editor scripts, no.. but Unity Events is a different thing, and those would 100% worth knowing how to use

[young fossil]

https://forum.unity.com/threads/how-can-i-set-a-specific-control-scheme-at-runtime.750461/
(Putting this here for anyone for finds this conversation later with a similar question)

[near siren]

The default event system works only with UI correct? I need to change the editor to use events on other things?

[proven junco]

someone tag code sharing??

[rocky canyon]

ohhh, you meant the unity eventsystem** its mainly for ui.. such as clicking, drag and dropping interactions.. but it can be used with 2D sprites as well.. and even 3d objects(anything with a collider) if its paired with a graphics raycaster

[proven junco]

cant remember what sites

okay so my character is way too fast and I can only change drag to decrease the speed but then my gravity gets weird

[rocky canyon]

float currentSpeed = isRunning ? runSpeed : walkSpeed; why not change the speed variables you already have

[proven junco]

dont reallyunderstand what you mean

[rocky canyon]

you ahve variables that control how fast you move.. runSpeed and walkSpeed are two of em..

why not lower those

[proven junco]

yeah I know

[rocky canyon]

instead of cranking up the drag

[proven junco]

but I have

but it does not work

[hot lily]

how to invert cinemachine camera direction?

when i pushed my mouse upwards the cam points down and looks at ground

[rocky canyon]

        float currentSpeed = isRunning ? runSpeed : walkSpeed;
        Vector3 movement = (transform.forward * vertical + transform.right * horizontal) * currentSpeed;
        rb.AddForce(movement, ForceMode.VelocityChange);```

it has to. to build `movement` you multiply ur inputs * the currentSpeed

if u drop that it will slow down..

[burnt vapor]

Consider asking in #🎥┃cinemachine

[rocky canyon]

make them 0 for example..

bet u dont move at all

[proven junco]

but If I have 0 I cant move

and 0.3 does not do any

[whole idol]

Why is this thing visible in my game?

I thought this was supposed to be visible only in my scene

for me to see while editting the actual scene

look at this invisible green object at the end

Ive turned its renderer off so why is it visible?

this Green "END" shouldn't be visible in my game

is there any way to do this without removing its green symbol ?

I mean I can change this here

but i dont think this is supposed to be showing in the game play mode

should I turn off 3D icons?

[young fossil]

Are you trying to turn it off while keeping other gizmos on?

[whole idol]

oh okay never mind

that fixed it yeah

3D Icons

https://gdl.space/geqesekuxe.cpp

i can see how to fix the first issue

but idk how to invoke a method

at least i havent heard of it

oh eait

the errors have changed

there we go

ok nvm i fixed it

sorry if i spammed the channel

[green ether]

What is UIHandler?

[tepid summit]

an object in my sene

scene

but i fixed it anyway

[green ether]

is it a class you created?

[tepid summit]

ye

[green ether]

Well

UILink = UILink2.GetComponent<UIHandler>;

UILink is a GamObject

[tepid summit]

man

[green ether]

youre trying to put the class UIHandler into Gameobject

[tepid summit]

i appreciate it

but i fixed the issues

i wrote the script late last night

it was an obvious fix'

but i truly appreciate the help

[green ether]

I think the problem was the naming

UiLink and UiLink2 being 2 different classes is very confusing

but yeah)

[tepid summit]

yes

[queen blade]

quick question yall, its a little urgent but if I rotated an object with:

transform.rotation *= some Quarternion like (0,1,0,0)

is there a way to make this my new (0,0,0,0)

or (0,0,0)

[cunning mesa]

"Make it your new origin" as in like you'd get different results when asking for transform.forward?

[tepid summit]

wouldnt you be able to set it to something like a var?

idk i dont mess with quaternions a lot

[queen blade]

err.. say after I rotated an object around the X-axis 90 degrees, when i rotate it around the desired y-axis

it now is rotating around the world z-axis

since i applied the 90degrees rotation on the object around the x axis, the object's y-axis is now alligned with the z axis (in our perspective)

[languid spire]

the only way I can think to do that would be to apply the X axis rotation to a parent object and then apply a local rotation to the Y axis of the child.

[queen blade]

i thought the easiest solution would be after I apply any rotation, I set the current rotation as my new default

[languid spire]

there is no method to do that

[queen blade]

so i can easily apply rotations again along the world's axis

[queen blade]

ah

[languid spire]

it would be like applying a rotation in Blender, current rotation becomes Quaternion.identity. Unity can't do that

[queen blade]

ah yeah i wanted that effect

thanks, I'll look for another method👌

[eternal needle]

Are you asking because a model is rotated by 90 on the x? This is a common issue with models. If done from blender you need to apply transforms before exporting it*

[queen blade]

so the situation is that I wanted to mapped WASD to rotate an object around y axis when pressed A/D and x-axis when pressed W/S

when i rotated the object around the x-axis by 90 degrees and I want to rotate the object around the y-axis subsequently by pressed A/D

the object is now rotating around the z-axis

[eternal needle]

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Transform.Rotate.html

Maybe you want to use the relative to parameter here

If I have understood you correctly

[daring oasis]

how can i set a default value to a serialize field

[eternal needle]

Set a default value to the field itself, in the script

[SerializeField] float a = 5;

[queen blade]

ah right i see perhaps i can rotate relative to the world space

i didnt know that that was a parameter, I appreciate it

Thanks

[eternal needle]

Np, always best to describe the use case. Otherwise it may be interpreted wrongly like how I and others did above

[queen blade]

👍 fair enough, I will keep that in mind

[daring oasis]

Input.GetKeyDown returns a bool? if yes why

if(Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.LeftShift))

does not detect when i press shift

[keen dew]

You'll have to show the entire script. Most likely it's in the wrong place

[glossy sierra]

anyone know abt this error?

[daring oasis]

[SerializeField] int sprintMulitplyer=1;

void Update()
    {
        float xAxis = Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal");
        float yAxis = Input.GetAxisRaw("Vertical");
        if(Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.LeftShift)){
            rb.velocity  = new Vector2(xAxis,yAxis).normalized*Speed*sprintMulitplyer;
        }else{rb.velocity  = new Vector2(xAxis,yAxis).normalized *Speed;}
        Debug.Log(rb.velocity.magnitude);
    }

[keen dew]

GetKeyDown is true once, when you press down shift. So you set the sprint velocity for exactly one frame.

use GetKey instead if you want the sprint speed for the entire time you press down shift

[daring oasis]

Thanks

[loud mango]

finally uploaded my game prototype

thanks for the help.... i dont remember names so you know if u helped me

[burnt vapor]

You're welcome

[daring oasis]

is it ok for player movement to use nested if? like use an if for sprinting and another for jumping and other things like that? and if no is it any other way?

Your question makes no sense. This depends heavily on what you're actually doing and there are a ton of ways you could go and implement something.

Often you should split your method into sub methods, which also improves documenting the code in a way. This could be one of those ways to omit nested if statements

Another one could be guard clauses, who knows

[daring oasis]

if(Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Space)){
            Debug.Log("Pressed");
            rb.velocity = new Vector2(rb.velocity.x,jumpPower);
        }

i did this in the update and when i press space it does register but does not matter how high i set the jump power it does not add any velocity

[burnt vapor]

I'd say log rb.velocity after you set it and see what it actually becomes

Or log jumpPower

[languid spire]

pro tip. Instead of just logging a string, log the variables you are using. That is useful information

[keen dew]

If you still have this movement code it will override the jump velocity

[daring oasis]

i deleted from the code anything related to the vertical axis

[daring oasis]

i logged both of them and when i press space jump power says is 100 and Y velocity says its 100 asweek but the character is not moving

[keen dew]

You'll have to show the full code again

[burnt vapor]

Then consider logging rb.velocity in your Update method and see what that logs

[daring oasis]

This is the code for jumping in a different script

if(Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Space)){
            rb.velocity = new Vector2(rb.velocity.x,jumpPower);
            Debug.Log(rb.velocity.y);
            Debug.Log(jumpPower);
        }

This is the movement code

void Update()
    {
        float xAxis = Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal");
        //GetKey detects if the key is down for the whole period of time it is down
        if(Input.GetKey(KeyCode.LeftShift)){
            //Sprint when LeftShift is pressed
            if(touchingLand==true){
                Debug.Log("Sprinting While Touching Land");
            }
            rb.velocity  = new Vector2(xAxis,0)*Speed*sprintMulitplyer;
        }else{
            //Move normally if GetKey does not get input
            rb.velocity  = new Vector2(xAxis,0)*Speed;
            }
        //Debug.Log(rb.velocity.magnitude);


    
    }

[daring oasis]

hmmm for 1 frame it becomes 100 and right the next frame it becomes 0

so this is the problem

[keen dew]

Yes, because you set it to 0

[languid spire]

so both of those set velocity.y to zero

[daring oasis]

ahhhh

[keen dew]

rb.velocity  = new Vector2(xAxis,0)

[daring oasis]

waaait

This is why context matters

And make sure you don't immediatley try to pinpoint an issue in your question. Notice here the issue was a completely different part of your code 😎

[kindred halo]

can anyone check why my weapon swapping isn't working?
The functions do seem to work as my swap animation plays but weapon doesn't change when I scroll my mouse
https://paste.ofcode.org/8qfiY52Y46defHiExRyKPw
here's the mouse scroll input code

{    if (Input.mouseScrollDelta.y != 0)
    {
        scrollDirection = Input.mouseScrollDelta.y;
        actions.SwitchState(actions.Swap); }
}```

[keen dew]

The first thing to do would be log the value of weapon.Length

and put a log in WeaponPutAway to check that it's called

[kindred halo]

log value weapon.Length is 2
no logs came on WeaponPutAway
So it's not being called?

[keen dew]

seems so

[kindred halo]

but then hows the Events being invoked
