rich adder
#

and where are those grabbing that data from

polar acorn
#

Okay, and how do you intend to do that if you don't store the loaded data anywhere?

rich adder
#

wdym open with inspector ? so if inspector is closed it doesnt work?

polar acorn
#

If you want everyone on the team to get a drink you probably don't just pour the gatorade directly onto the floor

#

you'd need to put it in a cup

if i had it closed it just didnt work lmao

ive looked about already and noone has had this issue

surely its just my script

rich adder
#

are you doing this

cinder crag
#

sorry , brain is not workin 😭

quasi rose
#

what is SaveData?

rich adder
#

why did you replace ReadAllText

quasi rose
#

ah ignore me probably, im late.

rich adder
#

said earlier FromJson returns you the data

#

you changed wrong line

#

you're saying
Get this JSON string and try to make this object from it

#

this is the object you are attempting to make

polar acorn
#

FromJson returns an object from json. What do you want to do with that returned object

#

Where do you want to put it

cinder crag
#

i wanna load the returned object and im not sure where to put it

Can you tell me what variables you have on this object

cinder crag
#

on the SaveData object?

polar acorn
#

No, on the object this code is running on

cinder crag
#

well i have strings, ints , floats

polar acorn
#

List the variables on this object

#

Tell me what variables you have

What variables does this object have

SavaData and instance

polar acorn

#

lol

#

How convenient, there is a SaveData

cinder crag
polar acorn
cinder crag
cinder crag
#

im sorry

short hazel
#

Then just load the JSON into that, and you're set

cinder crag
polar acorn
#

Sure, but you don't need to make a new local variable just set SaveData directly to the result of the function

#

It's not gonna break anything it's just unnecessary

cinder crag
#

it still doesnt load the data taht i saved

short hazel
#

Do you get (in the console) the log that's placed at the end of the function?

cinder crag

I have this reddish sky right now but I want to chnage it when player does ceratin task

# cinder crag yep

How do you know it hasn't loaded the data shown here? What have you tried?

cinder crag

lemme showa vid

#

This does not answer any of my two questions

#

And a video won't be useful, debugging is required

polar acorn
cinder crag
short hazel
#

It loads, the health goes back to 50 when you hit the Load button

#

You're probably not distributing the newly loaded values to all your other objects

#

The log messages on save and load show the same JSON payloads also

It won't reliably get the right one

stuck palm
#

shite

#

how come?

polar acorn
summer stump
#

You should make a script and add them as fields

#

Get the script, and read the field

stuck palm
#

i thought there was a reason to order them correctly

stuck palm
polar acorn
#

It is for this reason you should probably not have multiples of the same component

#

why do you have so many audio sources on one object?

stuck palm
summer stump
#

One source is fine for as many clips as you want btw

cinder crag
short hazel
#

That shows the string contents, now verify the contents of the SaveData variable

#

And make sure they're identical to the JSON string

#

If there are differences, then deserialization failed

yeah its about my unity script

#

so im making 3D game and im trying to create painting logic for the game. I need to to convert the hit position to pixel coordinates on the texture. Im trying to map the UV coordinates obtained from the hit position to the pixel coordinates, but as unity beginner I have been struggling with that for hours.

stuck palm

# 
Debug.Log("Hit position: " + hit.point);

                    MeshFilter meshFilter = hit.collider.GetComponent<MeshFilter>();
                    if (meshFilter != null)
                    {
                        Mesh mesh = meshFilter.sharedMesh;
                        Vector2 uv = new Vector2(
                            Mathf.InverseLerp(mesh.bounds.min.x, mesh.bounds.max.x, localHitPoint.x),
                            Mathf.InverseLerp(mesh.bounds.min.y, mesh.bounds.max.y, localHitPoint.y)
                        );
                        Debug.Log("UV coordinates: (" + uv.x + ", " + uv.y + ")");

                        // Map UV coordinates to pixel coordinates on the texture
                        int x = Mathf.FloorToInt(uv.x * (texture.width - 1));
                        int y = Mathf.FloorToInt(uv.y * (texture.height - 1));
                        Debug.Log("Pixel coordinates: (" + x + ", " + y + ")");

                        // Paint on the texture at the calculated pixel coordinates
                        texture.SetPixel(x, y, Color.red);
                        texture.Apply();
#

My debug results look like this:

Hit position: (10.49, 2.99, -0.97)

UV coordinates: (0, 0.4130424)

Pixel coordinates: (0, 211)

#

x-coordinates are always 0 no matter what, i dont know if even the y-coordinate is correct

#

Make sure you're looking at the values after SaveData = JsonUtility.FromJson<...>(...) is executed

#

If that line is yellow, it has not been executed yet

cinder crag
cinder crag
#

mbmb

#

this one is wrong as well

#

goddamit

#

here we go

image.png
#

they are both yellow

short hazel
#

Line 45 has not been executed yet as I said, so the values in the Autos window at the bottom are not up to date.

#

Execute to the next line (F10) and check again.

cinder crag
#

only the position is wrong but the rest seems to be true

image.png image.png
#

to be correct*

short hazel
#

Can you read and understand what I'm writing??

cinder crag
#

yeah i can

short hazel
#

Doesn't seem like it

#

The line highlighted in yellow is the next executed statement, which means it has not been executed yet, so the JSON hasn't been read and put in the SaveData variable yet, so the values you see in the "Autos" window is not correct

#

Continue executing the debugger until line 45 has been executed, and check the "Autos" window again.

#

If the SaveData line disappears from the "Autos" window when you debug further, then you can hover your mouse over SaveData in the code directly to get a similar inspection tool.

cinder crag
#

okay they seem to match , the window above is SaveData var and the bottom is the debug.log line

Hi, beginner coder here, i created a timer, every 1 sec is 1 min in the game, works fine. Did with InvokeRepeating("TimerFunction", 0f, 1f);, my timer function is a simple hour minute +- thing. Then in this function, i have an if segment, where i check if the time is between 6 and 19 hours, its daytime otherwise night. My question is how can i modify a player stat only in night? I tried there, but then my stat modified every 1 sec when the function triggers.

deft grail
regal bear
#

i created a custom class like this: gameTime = new GameTime(hour, minute, day); Its updated every ingame minute

deft grail
#

ok so then just check if gameTime is 19 or bigger and under 6

#

you could have a static variable which can be a bool or enum or something to hold the state of if its day/night or you can just check the time in your player and set the variable based of that

regal bear
#

i have an enum already for day and night, like this:

    void TimerFunction()
    {
        minute += 1;
        if (minute == maxMinutes)
        {
            minute = 0;
            hour += 1;
            if (hour == maxHours)
            {
                hour = 0;
                day += 1;
            }

        }

        if (hour < nightTime && hour >= dayTime)
        {
            partOfTheDay = enumOfTheDay.Day;
        }
        else
        {
            partOfTheDay = enumOfTheDay.Night;
        }
        ClockUpdate.instance.UpdateClockUI(hour, minute, day);

        PlayerStats.instance.decreaseStat();


    }
deft grail
regal bear
#

ye i know i just didnt know what should i create for this

#

and i got ideas along the way

deft grail
#

but just check if(partOfTheDay == enumOfTheDay.Night) {speed = 5f;} or whatever

regal bear
#

i'll refraktor the whole game, now i just try to do my imagination, then think about code and problems

toxic pine
rich adder
regal bear
toxic pine
deft grail
#

or in this method especially

regal bear
#

Ooooh i see omg

deft grail
# regal bear Ooooh i see omg

you would have a GameObject definitley GameManager maybe you can have DayNightManager and one of them will hold variables for the time/state of day/ other things you need

toxic pine
regal bear
#

Yes i have a TimeManager

regal bear
cinder crag
# cinder crag yep seems like it

i mean it loads the data n such but the ammo doesnt change or the players position doesnt change to where he was in the save so im a bit confused on how i could set lets say the player position to the saved player position in SaveData

deft grail

#

let me check what is static xd

#

oh i see okay

deft grail
rich adder

#

Okay, but in my player where should i check the day/night cycle? start? update? thats what i don't know every time haha

toxic pine
rich adder
#

do you need seconds changed? minutes ? etc. figure out how precise you want event time to be

deft grail
cinder crag
regal bear
rich adder
#

Invoke an event , then each script can listen for a specific time for example

#

thats how I do it

deft grail
#

thought so event would be good, i have no idea how it specifically works though so i cant help with that

regal bear
#

oh god im so bad at coding lol

#

thinking but still don't know what step should i do now

rich adder
#

if its a custom time I generally make a struct for it

regal bear
# rich adder if you have the clock setup?

yes i have a clock, i have a UI element that displays the current time, and day. then i have an if statement for changing an enum to day/night. but these are running in every second real time which is a minute ingame

toxic pine
regal bear
#

I can show you my TimeManager script, if interested. I know its a mess but everybody starts somehow 😄

deft grail

rich adder
#

instead of doing
timeclass.hour == preferredHour
etc..

you can do timeClass.Time == customThingAtTime
actually you said you dont need specific minutes so ig it doesn't matter for full time, checking hour would be sufficent 😛

if you're new to event u can use UnityEvent which lets you plug in other scripts' methods to run through inspector. Much like Button component OnClick

@rich adder can u check my ink issue

regal bear
rich adder
deft grail
regal bear
rich adder
#

eg
public static event Action<DayNightEnum> TimeOfDayChanged

TimeOfDayChanged?.Invoke(currentEnumVar)```
#

here static would be acceptable since its a general time clock

#

this way anyone can do
TimeScript.TimeOfDayChanged += MethodToRun

regal bear
#

oh ye i remember i saw this in a video few days ago, but can't remember yes thats what i was looking for

cinder crag
# deft grail its not that difficult?

my SaveAndLoadSystem is a singleton so i cant get references , i was thinking of making a script that holds static variables and then set those , example set the static playerHealth variable to the non static playerhealth variable etc then set the static varaibles to the saved data variables , not sure if i explained it good sorry

#

that need to know about the day change

regal bear
#

or just anywhere?

shell sorrel
#

OnEnable

#

or Start

yes ideally inside OnEnable

#

and unsub in OnDisable to clean up

regal bear
#

okay i guess i'll just watch a tutorial video about events

rich adder
cinder crag
shell sorrel
#

the method you give it requires the correct signature so 1 arg of enumOfTheDay

deft grail

when i press the continue button it needs to load the saved data

deft grail

or have your player in this scene to and make it transfer to the next scene

cinder crag

#

i know thats the bad place for invoke, but idk anywhere else

rich adder
#

usually Time.deltaTime is ok

#

if (hour < nightTime && hour >= dayTime)
this should be inside when Hour switches +1

#

ideally the whole thing should be a method
line 80 to 90

#

instead of cramming it in 1 if statement

regal bear
#

like this?

rich adder

#

okay it works, now i get the Night log in every hour

misty coral

Can someone help me with this problem

rich adder
misty coral
#

As you can see with the recording, I am trying to have the camera be rotated when the gun shoots, but this is also rotating the 180 degree limit I placed on the camera

regal bear
#

yes, i want something like my character fatigue goes down twice as fast at night

#

but only at night

misty coral
#

Like when I look up completely, I start looking backwards

#

how do I rotate the camera but keep the clamp conditions the same?

rich adder
#

or could store the previous state of time of day and if its the same dont invoke etc.

#

get creative!

# 
 void checkDayCycle()
    {
        if (hour < nightTime && hour >= dayTime)
        {
            partOfTheDay = enumOfTheDay.Day;
        }
        else
        {
            partOfTheDay = enumOfTheDay.Night;
        }
TimeOfDayChanged?.Invoke(partOfTheDay);
    }```
you can do this to track both btw if you need to know if previous was day
regal bear
# rich adder get creative!

i think i was when i created this time manager. ofc its not ideal, names are bad etc, but i figure out the whole code 😄 Now i can't do this for like 2 3 hours ( i know sometime i'll struggle for a week or month) thats why i asked u guys 😄 Thanks for the help, i tought there is something that i can do easier than booleans

#

nice thanks

misty coral
#

so how can I rotate without changing the clamp position?

tiny hawk
#

Hey champs, I'm using the terrain system to spawn tree. On those trees, I have a script that supposed to disable the MeshRenderer on them, so the trees are invisible. The reason for this doing is because I want to spawn trees at the same location as game objects so I can use RayCast on them. Ray Cast isn't working on the Terrain system spawned trees.

Here is my script. It isn't make the trees invisible:

    private void Awake()
    {
        // Spawn this this tree on this current trees position while also using Fishnet to spawn the tree
        MeshRenderer[] meshRenderers = this.gameObject.GetComponentsInChildren<MeshRenderer>();

        Array.ForEach(meshRenderers, meshRenderer => meshRenderer.enabled = false);


        this.gameObject.GetComponent<Collider>().enabled = false;
    }
regal bear
misty coral
#

how do I rotate a camera without messing up a clamp I put on it

deft grail
#

and check also the meshRenderers if theres anything in it after making it

tiny hawk
#

Oh smart. Thanks!

misty coral
#

I have simplified the above code, but my essential problem is that I can't clamp it to the axis it was at initially, does anyone have any idea of how to do such a thing?

image.png
#

How can I rotate the camera, but the clamp remains on the same rotation as it is initially sent to?

#

i really dont understand how what Im doing is effecting the clamping whatsoever

#

because the -90 to 90 are a fixed possible rotation

tiny hawk
deft grail
tiny hawk
#

All except for the trees actually hiding

#

But when I drag and drop a tree in the scene editor, and disable the mesh renderer on the LODs, the tree does disappear

deft grail
tiny hawk
#

It doesn't pop up in the Hierarchy

timber tide
#

it bakes it into the terrain

#

actually it's been a minute since I'ved used it, but usually that's how the vegetation like grass works, but the trees may be different

tiny hawk
#

The terrain system has an array. I could look through that, but not throug the scene editor I think.

timber tide
#

Yeah, the idea is it removed the gameobject overhead, but they do become a single drawcall

tiny hawk
#

I'm not sure how to achieve RayCasting this one

#

Especially I want to know when my player hit the tree

timber tide
#

getting the exact tree you hit may be a little hard as it combines it all into larger mesh colliders

#

an idea is to get your hit ray position and then make some positional dictionaries to get the nearest tree from that hit

#

if you want individual colliders then you may just want to place the trees yourself

#

Actually I may be wrong about that. Does raycasting a tree not return any collider information that's not specific to the terrain?

start by making sure that your !IDE is configured so it will underline the obvious errors in the code because there are several issues with the first two lines you shared

shrewd bison
#

yeah it says there is but idk whats wrong with it would i use vector3 in replacement of the xyz?

deft grail
#

that makes no sense

#

a float is 1 number

shrewd bison
#

oh yeah

deft grail
#

and GetAxis also happens to return a float, which is 1 number

shrewd bison
#

good point

#

{
public float speed = 5.0f;

// Start is called before the first frame update
void Start()
{
    horizontalMovement = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal");
    verticalMovement = Input.GetAxis("Vertical");


   Vector3 movement = new Vector3 (horizontalMovement, 0, verticalMovement);
    transform.Translate(movement * speed * Time.deltaTime);
}

i changed it to this

deft grail
#

you are giving a value to nothing

shrewd bison
#

public float horizontalMovement;
public float verticalMovement;

#

i added those 2

deft grail

# eternal falcon

you need to do this FIRST, and follow a basic C#/Unity tutorial if you arent already

shrewd bison
#

Well I had done that and I was reusing the info from the unity programmer junior and now im stumped so imma just figure it out

#

oh i was right the code was correct i just had it in void start and not update

deft grail
shrewd bison
#

Lol

#

I just started coding td so im not really sure what most stuff is

deft grail
shrewd bison
#

alright i will

formal escarp
#

Sorry but why only one "||" is not valid meanwhile the others are?

deft grail
#

you have closed the if statement then trying to continue to put code after

deft grail
#

nvm you are

formal escarp
#

Yes.

deft grail
formal escarp
#

Im trying to make it so it checks whenever you are pressing WASD to activate animations.

deft grail
formal escarp
deft grail
formal escarp
deft grail
#

yeah its banned to avoid spam

formal escarp
#

The " if (x != 0 && x < 0)
{
sr.flipX = true;
}
else if (x != 0 && x > 0)
{
sr.flipX = false;
}" is not checking it already?

formal escarp
deft grail
#

that x != 0 on both is pointless anyway, since you are checking if tis > or < 0

formal escarp
#

oh wait you are right

shrewd bison
#

is there a place i can learn how to link animation and boolean parameters to my characters WASD movement

deft grail
#

same goes with any other components and stuff you want to do

shrewd bison
#

wheres the docs

private Animator animator;

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

// Update is called once per frame
void Update()
{
    horizontalMovement = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal");
    verticalMovement = Input.GetAxis("Vertical");


    Vector3 movement = new Vector3(horizontalMovement, 0, verticalMovement);
    transform.Translate(movement * speed * Time.deltaTime);

    if (verticalMovement > 0)
    {
        animator.SetTrigger(WalkingUp);
    }
    else if (verticalMovement < 0)
        animator.SetTrigger(WalkingDown);
}

}

Ok so i have this and it doesnt work if I use animator.SetTrigger or animator.Play

deft grail
eternal falconBOT
deft grail
#

use InlineCode if its small or the links if its big code

#

if your making directional movement you can use a blend tree if i think it was called? in the Animator to make it much easier

shrewd bison
#

what if its a 2.5d environment would it still work?

deft grail
#

it just sets the animation based of values

#

you can pass your horizontal and vertical inputs im pretty sure

#

how can I rotate a camera in script without rotating the clamp attached to it

#

I want my camera to be moved up everytime I click, but when I do this, it also moves up the clamp

rich adder
misty coral
#

yea

#

or

#

i mean

rich adder
#

what does that mean

misty coral
#

rotates it

#

rotates it

#

not "moves up"

#

mb

rich adder
#

show code cause I have no idea what you're talking about tbh

misty coral
misty coral
#

as you can see from the video

#

shooting the gun rotates my camera, but also the clamp

#

before I restart the game in the video, you can see the 180 degree clamp allows me to rotate all the way backwards

#

when I restart, you can see that it works as intended

#

not lettering me look upsidown behind me

#

the moveCam method is called somewhere else btw

rich adder
#

should clean this up first also whats with that random Quaternion.Euler doing nothing

misty coral
#

thats a great question, when I first started unity like a month ago i followed a basic fps cam tutorial, so it must of done that for some reason

shrewd bison
#

@deft grail So i did this and did the same type of thing that it told me to do and yet it doesnt work how i want it to

image.png
deft grail
shrewd bison
#

so it either just runs the walking down and doesnt change

misty coral
shrewd bison
#

or i turn it off and it runs idle

#

i want it to be linked to W A S D

misty coral
rich adder
#

why are you setting euler angles twice

deft grail
shrewd bison
#

Wym?

deft grail
#

it should be 2

#

for X and Y

I have a problem that probably needs more evaluation in order to understand.

I am making a sokoban game as my first one, and so far I made the player move with WASD by 1 full object size. All walls and the player are scale 1, and there will be offgrid objects, so immediatelly, we can't store X and Y positions as variables of each object.

The problem is, that the collider recognizes a wall if I try to move towards one if the player and the wall share an axis, or a neighbouring one. You can see roughly how the detections work, and that obviously is not what we want.

Here's the code so far. This is the only script in the game so far, as the walls only have a box collider their exact size each. https://hastebin.com/share/pejunemibe.csharp

I'd do that later, but the way I'd like blocking to work is so crates are a possibility. I'd like each object that has a collider to have a function that is executed when something is attempting a push/interaction with it. With walls, nothing happens, so you are blocked if one is in the way. This means the function tells whatever tried to push it that it cannot do that. This way, crates work like this: Player attempts to move into crate -> crate checks for walls in the way -> if there's a wall, it can't move, if there isn't, it moves. -> if there is another box in the way, ask it if it can move, and repeat the process until a definitive response is given. We can use overrides for the function or something.

The previous block of text was a suggestion for if someone has time for that right now. But, really, all I need is for someone to explain what's wrong with my collision detection, and how I can fix it.

Here's also a pic of both the player and the wall objects.

i think the problem actually is it requires a 1 or a 0?
have you tried holding your keys for a longer time or using GetAxisRaw instead

Yeah it gets to 0 and 1 quick

but when it reaches that it doesnt work

deft grail

log the animator floats

after you set them

shrewd bison

like this?

or log every float

show what you did, and get rid of the movement log as its flooding the console

show the debug log code?

yeah

Debug.Log("Animator Parameters Reset: MoveX=0, MoveY=0");

log the float after you set the float

have you actually setup your animations correctly

     if (Physics.Raycast(castPosition, -transform.up, out hit, Mathf.Infinity, terrainLayer))
        {

            if (hit.collider != null)

                Vector3 movePosition = transform.position;
                movePosition.y = hit.point.y + DistanceGround;
                transform.position = movePosition;
                Anim.SetBool("isRunning", true);
            }
            else
            {
                Anim.SetBool("isRunning", false);
            }
        }

        float x = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal");
        float y = Input.GetAxis("Vertical");
        Vector3 moveDirection = new Vector3(x, 0, y);
        rb.velocity = moveDirection * speed;

        if ( x < 0)
        {
            sr.flipX = true;

        else if ( x > 0)
        {
            sr.flipX = false;
        }

Im having some trouble with the Anim.SetBool. I have an empty object which has this script attached. And it lets me move around, the problem i have is that when i move it plays both animations at the same time. There´s 1 Player on top of each other. One that does the Idle and one that Walks. And im not sure what to do 💀 i can share also screenshoots of my animator. I have the transition from Idle to Run with bools.

astral falcon
#

You can throw a ? before .Invoke() to check if its null

stuck crest
#

so i did a null check

eternal needle
#

that means its not subscribed to by the time that you invoke the event

stuck crest
#

but how i subscribed in a start function

eternal needle
#

first thing to check is add a debug to see if Start even runs in that script. maybe its disabled. maybe you also have 2 instances of the player, you only have a static reference to it but theres no guarantee the reference doesnt get overwritten when 2 exist

stuck crest
#

hmm why doesnt start work tho

cosmic dagger
#

is the GameObject active?

eternal needle
#

is the object or script disabled?

cosmic dagger
#

does the GameObject have the script attached to it?

okay so where are you calling that method

rigid valve
#

right here

#

evrything is working just this method isnt

slender nymph
#

what is BindExternalFunction?

#

or i guess more specifically, is this delegate being invoked off of the main thread?

rigid valve
slender nymph
#

that's not a helpful response because idk what that is supposed to mean

rigid valve
#

ink its used to make dialouges

#

I used that to kknow the charcter reached the end of convo

misty coral
slender nymph
#

okay and are you certain you are calling that method on the object in your scene and not perhaps a prefab or some other object?

#

you can also try logging some useful info like what you are calling CheckActivation on instead of that super useless "Hyy" log which tells you almost nothing

rigid valve
slender nymph
#

prefabs do not exist in the scene. so tell me how you can tell that isn't working

summer stump
# misty coral

I dunno what is going on, but that lerp is the EXACT same as writing transform.rotation = camTemp.transform.rotation

1 means return the second value. 0 means the first.

rigid valve
misty coral
slender nymph
misty coral
#

I made cam a Quaternion

#

and I do this in update

#

every frame

#

is there a better way

#

I can do this

rigid valve
slender nymph
#

the function is doing exactly what you've told it to do because you are calling it on a prefab which does not exist in the scene and therefore never had its Awake method called

rigid valve
#

So I'll need to do it for each tree seperately

#

?

slender nymph
#

yes

#

or use an event that all of those objects subscribe to

rigid valve
#

and I updated the code a bit

image.png
#

but this is still not working

Do you get any logs to check, what code is not being executed?

Hello, there's a one milisecond delay when i call the method which sets the attack sword animation trigger

 private void Update()

         // Check if an enemy is within range, in front of the player, and facing the player
         if (IsEnemyInAttackRange() && IsFacingEnemy())
         {
             // Damage the enemy
             DamageEnemy();

show the Death script

ionic plank

do you know a better way to show my code ?

!code

do the other script as well

You are registering on an event and never unregister from it

ionic plank
languid spire
ionic plank
#

Yes because i want the user to touch the screen to set the timescale to 1 again

astral falcon
#

So, if you debug log your gameOverScreen. Is that returning null?

languid spire
#

but I told you Update does not run, so how do you think that is going to happen?

ionic plank
#

cause i have a timer and i want to stop it when the gameoverscreen apear

languid spire
#

not if Update is not running it won't

ionic plank
languid spire
#

because the timescale is not being set to zero due to your missing reference exception

astral falcon
#

Forget what I just wrote 😄

languid spire
#

when timescale is 0 Update does not run

astral falcon
#

Thats true, but should nt we fix the first problem first? 😄

ionic plank
astral falcon
# ionic plank I'm trying to do it XD

Nah, that was for steve and my wrong assumption of update. But yeh, back to your issue. Can you please debug log your gameOverScreen above line 20?

ionic plank
#

The name 'gameoverScreen' does not exist in the current context

astral falcon
#

yeah... brain.Start(); please

#

check your spelling

and !vs just to be safe 😉

Visual Studio guide

If your IDE is not underlining errors in red or autocompleting code,
please configure it using the link below:

• Visual Studio (Installed via Unity Hub)
• Visual Studio (Installed manually)

Also can you screenshot your hierarchy showing the object with the Gameover script

thats why I posted the tutorial on how to setup visual studio, if your ide did not autocomplete it for you

Canvas

languid spire
#

Ok, I see Gameover has an OnDestroy method, which means if it is Destroyed then all of it's children are Destroyed as well

ionic plank
astral falcon
# ionic plank Do i need to unregister from the event ?

yep, you always should in OnDisable and register with OnEnable. Imagine you register to the event and destroy that script/Gameobject that has been registered. That will result in a missing reference inside your events subscriber list

ionic plank
#

so i need to use -= ?

#

to unregister

swift crag
#

Correct.

#

Doing this in OnEnable and OnDisable is a pretty safe default.

willow scroll
# ionic plank so i need to use `-=` ?

Say, you have the 1st class, which calls the event, and 2nd one, which subscribes to it.
If the 2nd class lives longer than the 1st one, you'll definitely have to unsubscribe it from the 1st class' event, for the 1st class not to call the event for the 2nd one, which has already been destroyed.
If the 1st class lives longer than the 2nd one, you don't necessarily have to unsubscribe the event, but it's usually a better practice.

#

And the subscription and unsubscription are usualy done in the OnEnable and OnDisable methods respectively

ionic plank
#

i'll try this

how 2 make dragging for 3d object? (i need constant y & it's already known)

languid spire
onyx tusk
languid spire
#

well if you googled Unity IPointer, then read the documentation, you would know

onyx tusk
languid spire
#

iirc OnMouse methods do not work with 3D objects, IPointer interfaces do

onyx tusk
#

they work, i all project made with it

astral falcon
#

yep, mouse methods work with the collider

languid spire
#

wait OnMouse only works with triggers

onyx tusk
#

idk, i know only what OnMouse doesn't work with objects on canvas

#

even with colliders (yes, i really added collider 2 it)

Is there any way I can run a function when a Serializable Public Variable's value is changed? For example, if I have a float tat goes from 0 to 1 and has a slider in the inspector, the moment I change the value of the float in the inspector, I want to assign that value to another variable in another script.

onyx tusk
elder raptor
#

I also saw something called OnValidate() will that work too?

onyx tusk
polar acorn
onyx tusk
#

may work

elder raptor
#

Yeah will try that instead as get and set just makes the code longer

#

Yeah it worked perfectly, thank god.

good lord , im stuck here , so im saving and loading the saved data but i wanna set lets say the player position to the saved player position or player health to the saved player health but im not sure how i can do that without using references since my SaveAndLoadingSystem script is a singleton and there is the Load method which is when i wanna set the health or player position to the saved data ones and im not sure how to do it without needing references

onyx tusk
cinder crag
onyx tusk
#

for example, i making chess & in file i have moves for figures

#

& i load it by foreach(Match i in Regex.Matches(fileInString, "pattern")

gaunt ice
#

impossible
you must reference the player object to change it value (idk how to change the data of some objects that you have no idea where they are) but your save and load system can use the existing player reference in other object eg game manager

onyx tusk
#

& i checking what is this move type, coded in letter, directionX, directionY coded by ints (int.Parse("120") = 120), & type of move coded by symbol or 2

#

about situations where you know where is a symbols in string from 1 of edges, you can just i[index]

topaz mortar
# 
        {
            var playerData = await CloudSaveService.Instance.Data.Player.LoadAsync(new HashSet<string> { "playerData" }, new LoadOptions(new ProtectedReadAccessClassOptions()));
            Unity.Services.CloudSave.Models.Item testItem = playerData["playerData"];
            Debug.Log(testItem);
            Debug.Log(testItem.Key);
            Debug.Log(testItem.Value);
        }```
testItem.Value is Unity.Services.CloudSave.Internal.Http.JsonObject
How do I access or deserialize that? Or whatever I'm supposed to do with this to get my stored value?

I've been going through the docs for two days, but can't figure it out.

Here i have this code, it's for a Monster AI which walks blindly when not hearing anything, but chases the loudest audio source once it's too loud: https://pastebin.com/TW4xtbgu
The problem is that when the loudestSource is changing position (for an example: it's a player), the script doesn't update loudestSource position, so the agent is going to the last known position of the loudestSource, and then it just stays here, waiting for the player to stop making noise, so it return to the Roaming state.

Hey there people! can anyone help me try to understand how to add multiple jumps in my 2d player script?

basically i have this script with jumpbuffering and coyote time set and working fine, but i really can't think of a way to add multiple jumps with all these, i've tried implementing it but with poor results, does anyone have some advice?

Ah, I see you have something similar with remainingJumps. Is it not working?

Also, share the !code properly.

i did so but it really does not work i can't really think of where to place the check in my script, i have a variable remaining jumps but it's not working where i placed it

How can I rotate the security camera that it faces into the right direction?
I thought about using the normal vector, but I don't know how to implement it.
I use a raycast for the position

Hi can someone help me it's a problem with no f*cking reason to happen, juste two GO that i can't use SetActive() on them for no reason

wintry quarry

i was thinking maybe completely removing jumpBuffering as it's pretty much a form of "extra jump" but im not sure

wintry quarry

wintry quarry
# stoic glen

you'd have to show the gizmos for the object's local axes

#

so we know which way the mesh is facing

gilded kiln
#

if i can

wintry quarry
#

but likely either your code isn't running, or you are referencing the wrong objects

# 
float direction = moveScript.moveDirection;
    GameObject sideToActivate = (direction > 0) ? rightSide : leftSide;

    if (sideToActivate != null && isAttacking == true)
    {
        rightSide.SetActive(sideToActivate == rightSide);
        leftSide.SetActive(sideToActivate == leftSide);
        if (sideToActivate == rightSide)
        {
            glowAttackEffectright.SetActive(true);
            Debug.Log("glowAttackEffectRight");
        }
       else
        {
            glowAttackEffectright.SetActive(false);
            Debug.Log("PKSASEDESACTIVEPTN");
        }
        if (sideToActivate == leftSide)
        {
            glowAttackEffectleft.SetActive(true);
        }
        else
        {
            glowAttackEffectleft.SetActive(false);
        }
    }```
wintry quarry
#

but if that's the case then you basically want:

camera.transform.rotation = Quaternion.LookRotation(surfaceNormal, Vector3.up);```
gilded kiln
#

The effectsglow aren't working but the rightSide and left are working

wintry quarry
#

Debug.Log around each SetActive call would help

How is select which camera is selected at startup?

wintry quarry
#

What do you mean by "selected"?

stoic glen
#

When I have 2 cameras in a scene, when the game is started which camera is on the screen

wintry quarry
#

The order in which they're drawn is determined by their depth

stoic glen
#

Is there an UI element that shows the depth

wintry quarry
#

UI element?

#

it's in the inspector if that's what you mean

stoic glen

Thx

yo is there a way to like make dictionaries in inspector? like i want to make messages in ui, i don't want to make 5 scroll views and want to make it procedural, i could make an array of string but i'd have to add either "Me: " or "[User's name]: " to each message and i could misspell something so i want to make like a dropdown to choose a user and a message they sent, is there a way to do it?

#

i think there was something like that in line renderer?

#

yea, sum like that but with enum and string

image.png
wintry quarry
#

Or just serialize a list of a custom struct

#

and load into a dict in Awake

There's only one kind of struct

hello! I'm trying to make a 3D platform system for my player (I'm using a character controller) and I do not know how do I handle the collision between the player and the platform, I tried parenting the player to the platform and unparenting it when he jumps off, which work's fine if the platform only moves in horizontal axis, but vertical movement is still very janky whenever the platform moves faster than the player can jump

#

Any tips or good practices that I should be doing?

#

also whenver the player is on a platform and a different platform hits the player it just goes through him, which is an issue

Hello everyone, I have a question. I'm almost done with my game, but can I find the game registration, login and settings parts in Unity Asset or should I prepare it myself? If there is an asset you know and it is good, that would be great. I would finish the game at least 2-3 days early.

# main karma Any tips or good practices that I should be doing?

There is a bunch of solutions to that and (as always...) it depends on your implementation and gameplay goals, I suggest checking out some YouTube tutorials on "moving platforms" in Unity. I personally haven't had this problem when developing because I was using physics-based movement (HexaBody)

# main karma I looked over a bunch of stuff, but I can't find many 3D resources

https://forum.unity.com/threads/player-stick-to-moving-platform-two-ways-solution.345086/
Here are 2 example solutions
Just Google it, there is about 10 YouTube tutorials and multiple forum and reddit posts with solutions

And it also depends on how you move your player, for example, when jumping off, you should add velocity of the platform to your player because that's how physics work
