[wintry quarry]

It's just called... setting a condition or a flag?

[tawdry quest]

thats just resetting a condition

there is no name for it

[summer stump]

Yeah, not any special name I've ever heard of

[molten dock]

okay thank u

i have been using it alot so i thought it might have a name

[hexed terrace]

It's usually not needed and has a better way of doing something

[molten dock]

alright

[tawdry quest]

then you should maybe watch a C# Course on how to do it correctly

[molten dock]

if you wanted an if stament to return true once when an int is equal to 1 how would you do it

[hexed terrace]

return someInt == 1;

no if required

[tawdry quest]

code..
if (someInt == 1) return true
return false

why the grin Car

[hexed terrace]

look at the msg above

[tawdry quest]

am i misunderstanding something

[tawdry quest]

OHHH

wait that works ?

[hexed terrace]

of course

[tawdry quest]

thats new for me, thanks

[rich adder]

if method returns a bool yea

[wintry quarry]

Beginners don't realize that bool is a data type

it's not magical or special

[tawdry quest]

didnt know you can return a == tho

[wintry quarry]

== is just an operator that returns a bool

just like + returns an int

== doesn't do anything except return a bool

[tawdry quest]

hmm never tried that, so obvious tho

[hexed terrace]

if (someInt == 1) is "returning" a bool

[wintry quarry]

bool x = a == b;

this is perfectly valid

[molten dock]

i cant understand this

[wintry quarry]

a == b results in true or false

true or false goes in a bool variable

bool x = true;

bool x = a == b;

same thing

[tawdry quest]

guess i could saved myself a line or two if i ever tried that

[barren vapor]

luckelly C# doesn't have === like javascript

[rich adder]

ugly

[tawdry quest]

luckily C# isnt shit like js

[hexed terrace]

no need to get personal 😛

[tawdry quest]

indeed return thisint == 1 is ugly
i will continue the if (thisint == 1) return true route

[molten dock]

can you show it in a full if statement

[wintry quarry]

show what

[rich adder]

um no i was talking about === in js

what you wrote was ugly lol

[tawdry quest]

[tawdry quest]

js as a whole is ugly

but atleast js is not python, python should be a warcrime

[molten dock]

uh forgeddaboutit

[wintry quarry]

any bool expression can go in if

[barren vapor]

I like js cause how you can edit html with it so easely. It's ugly when it doesn't works or doesn't do the thing you want it to do.

[rich adder]

well in the web we have no choice when dealing with DOM directly. Anyway we going offtopic here

[hexed terrace]

if all the method is doing, is returning a bool.. I'd do

private bool CheckInt (int someInt) => someInt == 1;

Instead of

private bool CheckInt (int someInt)
{
  return someInt == 1;
}```

[rich adder]

I do this usually when my method only does 1 thing ^^

[hexed terrace]

Doesn't even need to be returning something

[tawdry quest]

oof the => thing, i understand the usage but dont really like it, i rather do the full one

[molten dock]

right now i am doing this and then turning it true again abit later with an Ienumerator

[rich adder]

=> has very good uses in c#

[kindred iron]

guys i get error it says FindObjectOfType<GameManager> is obsolote what should i do

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

public class PlayerCollision : MonoBehaviour
{
public PlayerMovement movement;

private void OnCollisionEnter(Collision collision)
{
    if (collision.gameObject.CompareTag("Die"))
    {
        movement.enabled = false;
        FindObjectsByType<GameManager>();
    }
}

}

[rich adder]

switch it to the new method?

[kindred iron]

but it doesnt work

[rich adder]

also you should only need to cache it once in awake

[rich adder]

what exactly doesn't work ?

thats too vague

[tawdry quest]

I know i just like the code to be "full" as its more readable for me

[rich adder]

sure whatever makes it legible for you but I'm sure with time and more experience you will realize the many useful cases

[kindred iron]

wait i guess i fixed it finaly lemme try it

[rich adder]

you need this one https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Object.FindFirstObjectByType.html
also just do it once in awake , no need to do it every collision

[hexed terrace]

• swap to the new method
• you find it, but don't do anything with it
• use !code 👇 to share code so it's readable

yup

FindObjectsByType<GameManager>() returns the result of the component find

you're just discarding it / doing nothing with it

[hexed terrace]

It's also only obsolete in Unity 6 preview.. it'll still work

[kindred iron]

how should i learn coding do u know?

[hexed terrace]

!learn

:teacher: Unity Learn ↗

Over 750 hours of free live and on-demand learning content for all levels of experience!

[rich adder]

do the structured courses on Unity

and the microsoft website good too

[kindred iron]

is unitys structured courses good?

[molten dock]

it would have been cool if microsoft made it and then diddnt explain it

[rich adder]

yup

[tawdry quest]

i know the usecases and have stuff like that in my code, just normally i dont use it

[rich adder]

what the hell does that even mean lol

[molten dock]

chungus

[tawdry quest]

yes

[molten dock]

microsoft made c sharp

[kindred iron]

im watching Brackeys rn. Should i watch first Brackeys video (GAME OVER - How to make a Video Game in Unity (E08)) or unity structured courses?

[rich adder]

brackys not good to learn good code

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/

[tawdry quest]

Dont watch brackeys at all

[kindred iron]

why?

[tawdry quest]

search for C# course to learn C# and Unity 3D course

[rich adder]

use the provided resources

[tawdry quest]

bad tutorials, bad code, missing info, etc

[polar acorn]

Well, for one, it'd be a pretty bad idea to start with episode 8

[hexed terrace]

• teaches bad practices
• has an error in one video that plagues this channel
• is old and becomming outdated

[kindred iron]

i started it at episode 1

[rich adder]

haha need a macro for that

[polar acorn]

Brackeys is great for learning specific tools Unity has. Not so much for general C# programming. You should probably know code before going through Brackeys content

[kindred iron]

ok ty guys

[kindred iron]

also it doesnt teach unity doesnt it?

[rich adder]

this is to learn c# which unity API uses

its not unity-specific no

[tawdry quest]

why should it

[kindred iron]

what does mean unity API

[tawdry quest]

its just c#

[rich adder]

basically to interact with another APP

through code

[kindred iron]

what does mean another APP

xd

im new

[rich adder]

application?

[kindred iron]

ahh

[rich adder]

since the original engine is C++

[summer stump]

Application Programming Interface

[polar acorn]

Unity has its own suite of functions and classes, but C# contains many things that are not Unity specific

Unity's API is a small subset of C#

[kindred iron]

and we can use it on unity or?

[rich adder]

You can use c# anywhere you want

[polar acorn]

You will be making C# code that uses some Unity functions.

But it's not a special flavor of C#, it's just C#

[tawdry quest]

But API is not what

API is an Endpoint on the web

GET / PUT

[rich adder]

no its not

[tawdry quest]

REST ETC

[rich adder]

REST and API are not the same

[polar acorn]

API is not a web related thing

[summer stump]

Api stands for Application Programming Interface, as I just said

[polar acorn]

REST is an example of an API

[rich adder]

API is just basically software to software communication

[barren vapor]

Rest API is the interaction between frond-back end. Different than api

[summer stump]

It is the way you interface with a program/app/library/etc

[tawdry quest]

Did infact not knew that, i thought its web only, especially REST, etc

[polar acorn]

API = Rectangle
REST = Square

All squares are rectangles. Not all rectangles are squares

[rich adder]

a telephone for software!

[kindred iron]

idk what api is. Even tho it means Application Programming Interface i still dont get it

[polar acorn]

Good analogy

[tawdry quest]

it doesnt matter

learn C#, thats the language Unity uses

[polar acorn]

A thing that lets you code for a program that already exists

[tawdry quest]

then learn Unity and how to code in Unity

[polar acorn]

As opposed to making an entire new program from whole cloth

[summer stump]

void Update()

^ this is part of the Unity API

[polar acorn]

Unity provides an API that you can access through C#.

[kindred iron]

hm i guess i understad a lil

[summer stump]

All the methods and properties exposed by Unity are the api

[barren vapor]

Basicly an extension on an existing language?

[polar acorn]

It allows you to interact with Unity things like Rigidbodies, Materials, Transforms, etc.

[kindred iron]

after learning Unity courses then what should i do?

[summer stump]

Make games.

[rich adder]

practice

[barren vapor]

Dive into the real deal

[rich adder]

lots of it

repetition is key

to really sink the knowledge

[kindred iron]

Is unity courses teachs everything?

[rich adder]

mostly unity specific

You still need to learn C# on the side throughly

[summer stump]

Pretty much.
You were recommended a c# course too

[kindred iron]

then how can i learn new things with making games

[polar acorn]

No one person will ever know everything. What's important is that you learn how to learn what you don't currently know

[summer stump]

How can you not?

[rich adder]

start small

[summer stump]

Making mistakes and exploring IS learning

[kindred iron]

i cant write what i dont know , so i cant learn new things

[rich adder]

its more important that you know WHY and HOW its moving something for example, rather than pasting code you dont know / understand

[summer stump]

The unity courses teach you more than enough to write things you don't know

It's all small pieces that you put together into big programs

The course teaches you the small pieces

Then you just look at the docs when needed

[rich adder]

Unity docs has lots of examples

[kindred iron]

should i read all unitys documents

then making game

[summer stump]

If you want. Basically no. Read them a lot, but don't just sit and read the whole things without a goal in mind

[rich adder]

it should literally be like your bible

bookmark it

[summer stump]

We have said a few times, do the unity course, then make games

[kindred iron]

hm ok i got it when i need it

ty

[languid spire]

That is the whole point of API's. once you know them the 'new things' come from combining them in new and interesting ways

[rich adder]

think legos

you can use the same pieces in different ways

[kindred iron]

can u give me a lil example pls?

[summer stump]

Subnautica
It was made with unity

[kindred iron]

no i mean about this sentence

[languid spire]

sure.
take the Unity Vector3 struct.
one you know it it can be used as

1. A position
2. A direction
3. A Velocity
   And many more things

[kindred iron]

hm okay ty

so first i'll watch unity courses then making practice and i'll use doc. when i need it right?

[languid spire]

absolutely, you should always consult the docs when taking the courses so you really understand what they are trying to teach you

[kindred iron]

i have 1 more question

should i watch other tutorials even tho i finish unity courses

or make game and sometimes i should watch courses

[languid spire]

you can watch other tutorials because some of them provide additional information and techniques not covered by Unity. And by that time you should be able to tell which ones are worth watching and which ones are not

[kindred iron]

should i watch these tutorials when i need it or daily?

[summer stump]

When you need it

Try to do it more rarely. Give it a shot on your own first, then if struggling look at a tutorial

[kindred iron]

hm okay ty again xd cya

[shell ice]

hello , i have something i want to do but i am not able to , here is my map for example

i can move the camera around

and zoom in and out

( it doesnt follow any particular thing i just move it around )

but i want to bound the camera to the edges of this map

i thought about creating a gameobject with a 2d collider which represents the bounds of the map and try to check collisions with the camera but i dont really know if its the best way to do it

any ideas on how to do this ?

i can bound the movement easily

but the zoom ...

[slender nymph]

obligatory: use cinemachine
it also has a confiner component

[amber kayak]

hello how dfo i move this im using the game scene any1 got vid? i looked and didnt find

that 4x4 i crated using this

[slender nymph]

check the documentation pinned in #📲┃ui-ux to learn how to use UI

[outer quail]

I don't know why this hide cursor script isn't working, when I add it to either the player game object or a cinemachine camera it doesn't work.
`using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;

public class HideCursor : MonoBehaviour
{
void Start()
{
Cursor.visible = false;
Cursor.lockState = CursorLockMode.Locked;
}
}`

[slender nymph]

make sure to click into the game view window. the editor will not capture the mouse otherwise. the editor will also release the mouse regardless of the Cursor.lockState when you press escape so don't expect that behavior in a build without coding it yourself

[outer quail]

Thanks, is that on by default if I click the game view?

[slender nymph]

what are you referring to?

[outer quail]

In past unity versions I always needed to add the two lines of code, but you are telling me otherwise.

[slender nymph]

i never said you didn't need to do that too. i just said that it won't work unless you also click into the game view. which is how it has always worked

[outer quail]

apparently if I make the script un active the cursor hides by default if I click the game view, hide cursor is on by default now(if you click the game window).

[slender nymph]

you are probably disabling the component after that code has already run

[onyx tusk]

how 2 make dragging for 3d object? i just need 2 get mouse coords & some method for getting x & z from it, y is a constant

[rich adder]

ScreenToWorld method in camera orScreenToRay then use a plane

[onyx tusk]

about first, object is on the front of camera but i don't see it. about second, it doesn't existis in this context

[rich adder]

can you show what you have so far, I'm a little confused on how you set it up .

[onyx tusk]

object, camera

& i'm trying to set up y as 0.35

transform.position = Camera.main.ScreenToWorldPoint(new Vector3(Input.mousePosition.x, Input.mousePosition.y, Figure.size / 2));

size = 0.7

[winter fractal]

hi! is there an easy way to flip my 2D sprite without moving my character?

right now, when the sprite is fliped, this happen

[onyx tusk]

gameObject.transform.Rotate()?

[winter fractal]

Should I just change flip for rotate in the code?

[slender nymph]

you need to adjust the pivot point of your sprite in the sprite editor so that it is centered on it

[polar acorn]

Change the origin point of your sprite to the center. Either through the pivot point of the sprite itself, or by making the renderer a child object of the collider and changing the center point that way

[winter fractal]

isnt already centered?

[polar acorn]

It's the center of the file, but is your sprite actually in the center of the canvas?

If not, you'll need to put the pivot on the center of the sprite you actually see

[winter fractal]

oh ok

is there a way of changing the pivot of all sprites at the same time?

I undestand what you mean, the pivot is centered here instead of the body of the warrior, but when I change it it only apllies to that specific sprite, which causes errors in the animation

[slender nymph]

the best thing to do is instead to design your sprites so that they are properly centered. or slice them so that they are centered

[polar acorn]

Doesn't seem like it. Your best bet might to be to change the sprites themselves so they're all centered at the same focal point. This means you might need to adjust the width of the canvas so they're all able to fit about the center of the canvas

[winter fractal]

is fixed!

the automatic slice of Unity did the work!

thanks!

[slender nymph]

it's not going to quite turn out the way you want for some of those sprites though

[polar acorn]

You might need to do some manual adjusting of those sword swing sprites but it is at least most of the way done for you

[winter fractal]

yea is oj

ok

I think the majority will do, I'll adjust manually the problematic ones

(sorry to transform the discuss from code to pixel art xD)

[chrome tide]

i have some problems with my blind enemy AI. here i have this script which adjusts the volume and range of currently emitted audio (this script is attached to the player):

using UnityEngine;

public class SoundsEmitter : MonoBehaviour
{
    //emittedAudio[0] - loudness
    //emittedAudio[1] - range
    public float[] emittedAudio = new float[2];
    public PlayerMovement playerMovement;

    private void Update()
    {
        AudioChange();
    }
    private void AudioChange()
    {
        switch (playerMovement.state)
        {
            case PlayerMovement.PlayerStates.Standing:
                emittedAudio[0] = (float)PlayerMovement.PlayerStates.Standing;
                emittedAudio[1] = (float)SoundsManager.SoundDistances.Standing;
                break;
            case PlayerMovement.PlayerStates.Walking:
                emittedAudio[0] = (float)PlayerMovement.PlayerStates.Walking;
                emittedAudio[1] = (float)SoundsManager.SoundDistances.Walking;
                break;
            case PlayerMovement.PlayerStates.Running:
                emittedAudio[0] = (float)PlayerMovement.PlayerStates.Running;
                emittedAudio[1] = (float)SoundsManager.SoundDistances.Running;
                break;
        }
    }
}```
the emittedAudio[] is an array, because the first index holds the volume, and the second index holds the range the currently emitted sound can be heard from.

i also have this Blind Monster AI script. it's long so here's the link to PasteBin: https://pastebin.com/k2dVG1yN

the problem is that the monster doesn't care about the player at all, though it correctly gets the `emmitedAudio` variable from `SoundEmitter` component in `source` (look at foreach loop in `CheckAudioSources()`). i adjusted the maxLoudnessLimit and the enums values correctly. I don't know what's the issue, could someone help? I'll be thankful

the problem appeared after i changed emmitedAudio variable from a single float value variable to float[] array. the previous single value variable was holding just the volume.

[slender nymph]

the problem is that the monster doesn't care about the player at all
what do you mean by that? as in it isn't using the correct value from playerMovement.state? because if that is the case, you may be referencing the prefab rather than the active player in the scene

[chrome tide]

by the "monster doesn't care about player at all" i mean that no matter how close i get to the monster and how much noise i make, it doesn't make the monster chase me. i checked that while running the volume is set to 100 (4 is enough to make the monster trigger a chase), and the distance between me and the monster is enough to make it chase me, but it doesn't happen.

[slender nymph]

you have a whole bunch of conditions that affect whether that object will enter the chasing state and whether it will actually set the destination. either use breakpoints to inspect the values you are checking, or print some useful information that actually tells you what is happening when you check those conditions

[chrome tide]

i will, thanks.

[slender nymph]

and keep in mind that you can use string interpolation to construct a single log that provides useful information. so instead of just dumping the individual values stored in your array right to the console like you're doing on lines 64 and 65. for example:
Debug.Log($"Emitter at loudness threshold: {emitter.emittedAudio[0] >= maxLoudnessLimit} and monster state {state}");

[chrome tide]

i know, i'm using it all the time. thanks for reminder though

[arctic shadow]

hi just asking how would i be able to, after picking something up, rotate it to a certain specified orientation then just not rotate it anymore?

[rich adder]

transform.Rotate

[hallow sun]

lerp

[arctic shadow]

i know i can rotate things with transform.rotate but how can i use it to only make it rotate to a specific point then stop

[keen dew]

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Quaternion.RotateTowards.html

[arctic shadow]

oh, thanks didnt know that existed 🙂

[loud pebble]

Hi. Trying to use RayCast, but it detects only one side of a cube. What am I doing wrong?

using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;

public class Player : MonoBehaviour
{

    [SerializeField] private float moveSpeed = 7f;
    [SerializeField] private float rotationSpeed = 10f;
    [SerializeField] private GameInput gameInput;

    private bool isWalking;

    private void Update()
    {
        Vector2 inputVector = gameInput.GetMovementVectorNormalized();
        Vector3 moveDir = new Vector3(inputVector.x, 0f, inputVector.y);
        float playerSize = .7f;
        bool canMove = !Physics.Raycast(transform.position, moveDir, playerSize);
        Debug.DrawRay(transform.position, moveDir, Color.red, 1f, true) ;
        if (canMove)
        {
            transform.position += moveDir * moveSpeed * Time.deltaTime;
        }
        isWalking = moveDir != Vector3.zero;
        transform.forward = Vector3.Slerp(transform.forward, moveDir, rotationSpeed * Time.deltaTime);
    }

    public bool isPlayerWalking()
    {
        return isWalking;
    }
}```

[polar acorn]

I can't see the debug ray in the second case, where is that line appearing on that side?

[loud pebble]

I will make this line a little bit cleaner.

[chrome tide]

when i want to debug.log() the emittedAudio[0] and emittedAudio[1] values, instead of showing the enum value (i store enum values in these 2 indexes), it shows the index of enum. for an example, Standing's value is 0, walking is 10, and running is also 10, but instead of showing these variables it shows 0, 1 and 2. it's only for SoundVolumes, SoundDistances work fine:

this script is binded to the player:

using UnityEngine;

public class SoundsEmitter : MonoBehaviour
{
    //emittedAudio[0] - loudness
    //emittedAudio[1] - range
    public int[] emittedAudio = new int[2];
    public PlayerMovement playerMovement;

    private void Update()
    {
        Debug.Log(emittedAudio[0]);
        Debug.Log(emittedAudio[1]);

        AudioChange();
    }
    private void AudioChange()
    {
        switch (playerMovement.state)
        {
            case PlayerMovement.PlayerStates.Standing:
                emittedAudio[0] = (int)PlayerMovement.PlayerStates.Standing;
                emittedAudio[1] = (int)SoundsManager.SoundDistances.Standing;
                break;
            case PlayerMovement.PlayerStates.Walking:
                emittedAudio[0] = (int)PlayerMovement.PlayerStates.Walking;
                emittedAudio[1] = (int)SoundsManager.SoundDistances.Walking;
                break;
            case PlayerMovement.PlayerStates.Running:
                emittedAudio[0] = (int)PlayerMovement.PlayerStates.Running;
                emittedAudio[1] = (int)SoundsManager.SoundDistances.Running;
                break;
        }
    }
}```

while this one is binded to a standalone empty object SoundsManager:
```cs
using UnityEngine;

public class SoundsManager : MonoBehaviour
{
    public enum SoundVolumes
    {
        Standing = 0,
        Walking = 10,
        Running = 10
    }
    public enum SoundDistances
    {
        Standing = 0,
        Walking = 10,
        Running = 100
    }
}```

[loud pebble]

I think the lines at the right situation is not detecting collision right.

[slender nymph]

you aren't printing the enum values here, you're printing the integers stored in your int array

[chrome tide]

how do i get the enum value?

[polar acorn]

That's quite a bit of lines. Since you're drawing it every frame, having it last 1 second is going to make it hard to spot. You should leave off the last two parameters of that DrawRay

[slender nymph]

you are casting them to int, just cast them back to the enum if you want the enum or store them as the enum instead

[polar acorn]

Then you should be able to see where the line is at that exact frame

[chrome tide]

ok, thanks

[slender nymph]

but if they are printing values you do not expect then you are either using the wrong enum types, or you need to actually save your code so that the enum values are properly compiled

[loud pebble]

I have propably spotted the issue. Let me check and I will be back.

[loud pebble]

Ok didn't work. When I leaved off only two parameters the line is really hard to spot.

[polar acorn]

It is in Update so it'll get drawn every frame. If it helps, you can multiply moveDir by some value in the debug drawRay to make it longer

[loud pebble]

Great idea. Will do that now.

[loud pebble]

Ok, the issue was RayCast was too low on Y axis and was interferring with floor. I modified transform to add +1 to Y axis and now it detects obstacles correctly. Thank you for help.

[molten dock]

how come doing "whilst bool is true" crashes the game

[languid spire]

infinite loop

[rich adder]

while(true)
oops

[molten dock]

the loop would end when the bool is false i think

[languid spire]

while (true);
more whoops

[rich adder]

if its inside coroutine it needs yield return null inside

[molten dock]

how come

[rich adder]

cause it wont know when to end

[molten dock]

okay swag

[polar acorn]

Does anything inside the loop ever set the bool to false?

[molten dock]

it does but not with an ienumerator

[wraith grotto]

Hey hey good people. I'm new to Unity and I'm making a topdown 2d shooter.

I have an issue with my firing where instead of going forward from the front of the character it goes into a random direction (maybe my implementation is wrong.)

So, i have a square with a rigidbody2d attached with an empty sprite that's used as the projectiles starting position. The projectile should go from the empty sprite towards the mouse location but it's instead flying into a semi-random direction

I'm using the following implementation:

Projectile behaviour script:
https://hastebin.com/share/obuciluzah.csharp

Player Rotation Script:
https://hastebin.com/share/afiwinuges.csharp

Player Projectile Launcher:
https://hastebin.com/share/ijicuhurav.csharp

would be grateful for a solution 🙂 and please do message me if you are missing any info (I'm new to this).

[wintry quarry]

If there's no yield statement inside the loop, the entire game engine is waiting patiently for the loop to end before continuing to run. So nothing outside the loop can affect anything and if the condition doesn't become false4 in the loop, it will be frozen forever.

[wintry quarry]

Your playerMousePosition is always 0,0,0

you never set it to anything else

The variable in the PlayerAim script is completely unrelated to the one in this script

Also why does it seem like the gun is launching itself based on this code?

[wraith grotto]

Yes, thank you. The PlayerAim script is just for rotating the character actually. I'm ashamed I missed it, thanks for the help 🙂
There isn't actually a gun. Just based on the weapontype it will load a different sprite (will add later on) and the projectile behaviour will be different.

[molten dock]

okay i get them now

[paper sable]

why does my player move like this?

 void FixedUpdate()
    {
        Move();
    }
void Move()
    {
        moveDirection = GameManager.input.Player.Move.ReadValue<Vector2>();
        print(moveDirection);
        rb.AddForce(moveDirection * moveSpeed, ForceMode2D.Impulse);
    }

[wintry quarry]

You mean the jittering?

It's because you don't have interpolation enabled

[paper sable]

not the jittering, thats from my recording software or pc idk but in the game its not there

its very fast

[wintry quarry]

then what's the question

you're applying a lot of force

[paper sable]

so how do i apply less?

[wintry quarry]

your moveSpeed variable (which is poorly named) is very high

reduce moveSpeed

[primal jungle]

You also have the ForceMode set to impulse which applies a short burst of force (which may or may not be intentional)

[paper sable]

would it be alright if i divide the move speed by 10 when applying the force? so i can keep it a value like 5 or 10

[wintry quarry]

you can do whatever you want

it just will be in a weird unit

"tenths of a newton"

[paper sable]

i dont really know the differences between the force modes but ForceMode2D.Force doesn't move my player

[wintry quarry]

You just need a higher number

basically the only difference between Force and Impulse is that you will need a number 50x higher with Force to do the same as Impulse

[wintry quarry]

(assuming you didn't change your fixed timestep)

All of these are equal:

AddForce(moveSpeed * move * 50);
AddForce(moveSpeed * move / Time.fixedDeltaTime);
AddForce(moveSpeed * move, ForceMode2D.Impulse);``` @paper sable

[paper sable]

oh alright thanks

[scenic shuttle]

Why this code not work

    public GameObject door;

    public void DoorOne(string answerText, GameObject doorObject)
    {
        this.answer = answerText;
        this.door = doorObject;
    }

And this code work

    public string answer;
    public GameObject door;

    public void DoorOne(GameObject doorObject)
    {
        this.door = doorObject;
    }

[wintry quarry]

what makes you think it doesn't work?

Also is this on a MonoBehaviour?

[scenic shuttle]

Why i use the code "not work" i can't see on here.

[icy sluice]

how do i scale an image between two points on screen?

[wintry quarry]

I don't see DoorOne anywhere here

Seems like you're looking at the wrong script entirely

[slender nymph]

unity events do not support more than one parameter

[scenic shuttle]

yeah, it the problem

[wintry quarry]

Anyway - UnityEvent only supports a single parameter

so - you can only use one

[wintry quarry]

In what context? Is it UI?

[icy sluice]

yes

[scenic shuttle]

oke thank you sir

[icy sluice]

image size: 64x64

[scenic shuttle]

So, how do I trick it into working?

[slender nymph]

you use a method with only a single parameter

[scenic shuttle]

but i need 2

[slender nymph]

well too bad, unity events only support a single parameter.
you can call a multiparameter method from another method that only has one parameter though

[wintry quarry]

LineRenderer would be easier

[icy sluice]

that doesnt work

[wintry quarry]

jsut set those parameters in the inspector on your button and call a function that calls the other function with the params

[wintry quarry]

sure it does

[icy sluice]

it doesnt show it

i tried

multiple things

[wintry quarry]

what doesn't show it

LineRenderers work.

[lime mural]

can't the doorObject contain the answerText?

[icy sluice]

line renderrer

[wintry quarry]

You just have to understand what you're doing with the positions etc.

[scenic shuttle]

Makes sense, thank you

[icy sluice]

i know what im doing, it shows in editor, but not within game

[summer stump]

Then you are doing something wrong 🤷‍♂️
Show what you did when you tried the line renderer

[scenic shuttle]

That's not the problem. Apparently unity doesn't support doing my code which doesn't work.

[summer stump]

They are suggesting a workaround for that issue

[wintry quarry]

THen you did it wrong

[icy sluice]

i didnt

[wintry quarry]

You are suggesting that LineRenderer doesn't work

of course it works

[summer stump]

If it didn't work, then you inarguably did it wrong

[wintry quarry]

My guess is you are confused about canvas space vs world space

A LineRenderer would draw things in world space - so you'll have to do the appropriate conversions for it to show up in the expected position in the game world

[icy sluice]

i didnt

and yes, i know the line renderrer will draw in world space

[summer stump]

These are super unhelpful responses.
Why not just show what you did?

[icy sluice]

what do you mean

[wintry quarry]

You had trouble getting LineRenderer to work. Show what you did that wasn't working, we can help fix it

[summer stump]

What do you mean what do I mean?
Show what you tried with the line renderer.
You did something wrong, we need to see it to tell you what it was

[icy sluice]

lineRenderer.SetPosition(1, screenPos);```

[wintry quarry]

Ok and what are LeadPos and screenPos

how were they calculated?

What coordinate system do they exist in?

[icy sluice]

vector 3

[wintry quarry]

🤦‍♀️

[icy sluice]

both

[wintry quarry]

??? wdym both

It's one or the other

Your answers to my questions are only confirming my suspicion from earlier that you don't understand the world space / canvas space distinction

[icy sluice]

both are in vector 3
screen pos is the square pos
the leadPos is the complex mathematical equasion that does the leaning where i need to shoot

[wintry quarry]

vector3 is not a coordinate system

it's a datatype

and obviously it's a Vector3, that's what SetPosition accepts as a parameter

that's not what I was asking

The answer to how to fix that is you need to make sure both positions are in world space before using them with LineRenderer

(and that LineRenderer is set to world space mode)

[icy sluice]

lineRenderer.SetPosition(1, target.position);```

and nothing, like before

there is no line

[molten dock]

sometimes i know what to do after typing the question lol

[polar acorn]

Are predictedPosition and target.position both in world space?

[icy sluice]

yes

[wintry quarry]

Use Debug.DrawLine as well just to show where this line is actually

[polar acorn]

That's a pretty common thing. It even has an adorable name and origin story.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubber_duck_debugging

[molten dock]

that is neat

[polar acorn]

Gonna be hard for us to tell where that's supposed to be in screen space since it's just a still image of a line but is that debug line covering roughly where you expect it to be

[icy sluice]

the line is showing corectly

but idk why line renderrer it isnt in game screen still

so i switched to image method and now im missing the lenght calculation

[polar acorn]

Where is the camera in this situation? Can you send another screenshot with the camera selected so it draws the camera's frustum

And if possible try to rotate the camera so we can get a good view of where the red line is in relation to it

[polar acorn]

It's hard to convey line renderers in still images since there's no depth. Assuming the game's still running but paused, can you get a shot of this from the side as well?

[polar acorn]

Perfect, video is definitely best for this but it can be annoying to record and share, thanks for that

[icy sluice]

yes

[polar acorn]

So it should definitely be visible at that position. A bit small, but not so small it's not visible. Can you send a screenshot of the line renderer component while it's still paused like this? You should be able to see the positions in the inspector for it. Do they match what you expect?

[icy sluice]

ey

i fixed it, it didnt have an material

[polar acorn]

Ah, that'll do it

[icy sluice]

tnx for help

[queen adder]

what does transform do

[summer stump]

It is a component that contains position, scale, rotation, parent, children, etc

Every GameObject has a transform (or rectTransform)

[queen adder]

ohhh

[queen adder]

thanks i forgot about those

i was confused where it was coming from

lmao

[regal bear]

Hi, i have animations for my player, its a topdown 2d game. My player has 4 animation for running, and idleing. Top down left right. My question is now my player always face down when i stop moving. How can i like save the last moved direction and play that animation. For example if i run up and i stop, the idle up should play, not idle down.

[molten dock]

how come an animation that isnt being activated is making my enemy not be able to move

[deft grail]

how do you know its that animation that isnt even being an animation is making your enemy not move?

[molten dock]

because when i remove the animation from the animator controller it moves again

[polar acorn]

Does the animation affect the object's transform

[molten dock]

yeah it moves down

[polar acorn]

You should be animating a child object, not the actual object you move around

[molten dock]

how does that work

[rocky canyon]

• Object you move with controls
• Object you move with animation

[molten dock]

i see swag ty

[ember tangle]

transform.GetChild(0) is causing 'Transform child out of bounds" when called frequently. Is this normal?

[polar acorn]

It's completely normal if the object you call it on has no children

[ember tangle]

All the objects being called have children, once the function is called ~30 times it stops working and the error is thrown.

[polar acorn]

Before the line, add this:

Debug.Log($"{gameObject.name} has {transform.childCount} children");

And look at the most recent one before that error occurs

[ember tangle]

thanks Ill try that, but I can see that the game object has children in the editor

}```
The function is pretty simple, maybe its the SetActive part

[polar acorn]

Okay, if that's the one, the log should look like this:

Debug.Log($"{unit.name} has {unit.transform.childCount} children");

[stuck palm]

what is the point of the non generic getcomponent?

[polar acorn]

Compatibility, from before Generics were supported

[stuck palm]

interesting

[devout flower]

Is Debug.Log($"name is {unit.name} ") the same as Debug.Lof("name is" + unit.name) ? Just curious

[stuck palm]

yeah

[devout flower]

I see

[polar acorn]

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/tutorials/string-interpolation

Oo ok imma read this

Thankss

[stuck palm]

wouldnt that be called concatenation or am i mistaken

[polar acorn]

No

Concatenation is combining collections

String concatenation would be using +

[stuck palm]

i see

[ember tangle]

thanks for this debugging help, I've identified the problem with it👍

[tranquil hollow]

using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;

public class Player : MonoBehaviour
{

    public float Speed;
    public float JumpForce;

    private Rigidbody2D rig;

    // Start is called before the first frame update
    void Start()
    {
        rig = GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>();
    }

    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update()
    {
        Move();
        Jump();
    }

    void Move()
    {
        Vector3 movement = new Vector3(Input.GetAxis("Horizontal"), 0f, 0f);
        transform.position += movement * Time.deltaTime * Speed;
    }

    void Jump()
    {
        if(Input.GetButtonDown("Jump"))
        {
            rig.AddForce(Vector2.up * JumpForce);
        }
    }
}

i still cant jump

can soembody help me?

[rich adder]

ur overriding position

every frame

[tranquil hollow]

how can i fix it?

[rich adder]

if its a rigidbody it should not even be using transform. You should use velocity , or AddForce

if you use velocity you make new vector2 keeping y as rb.velocity.y

[rocky canyon]

leave the Y velocity alone (like he mentions ^ just feed it back to itself)

[tranquil hollow]

how can i do that?

[rich adder]

replace this line
transform.position += movement * Time.deltaTime * Speed;

with the proper one

[rocky canyon]

rb.velocity = new Vector3(Input.GetAxis("Horizontal"), rb.velocity.y, 0);

but w/ ur smoothing and stuff

[tranquil hollow]

ok

[rocky canyon]

keynote.. u pss its own velocity.y back to teh Y

[ember tangle]

Is it best practice to use the Animation system as a State Machine?

As in using the Animation system to create a State Machine that does a lot more than animation.

[cosmic dagger]

its not a best practice but a choice . . .

[rocky canyon]

if u have to knowledge to be able to use the animator as a state machine..
you probably have the knowledge to build out a custom state machine to use

[cinder crag]

why does it say i dont have data to save when i do? and i checked and my save file didnt create for some reason

[bitter crown]

hey guys i have a problem but its not with code can i ask here?

[cinder crag]

this is a coding question channel so no

[bitter crown]

then where?

[cosmic dagger]

browse the channels for the correct category . . .

we have no idea what kind of question you have. only you do . . .

[ionic zephyr]

Any idea on how to do a dash but when the player quickly presses the move button?

[deft grail]

check the input of the player and AddForce to the rigidbody

[ionic zephyr]

the thing is I dont know how to do the code for it to happen only when you press fast the moving input

[deft grail]

how else do you press it, slow?

there is no speed in pressing a button

its either pressed or its not

[ionic zephyr]

Im talking about pressing the button twice in order to do dash

but those presses need to be fast

[deft grail]

ok well thats something

you can use a timer and check if its hit twice within a certain time

[ionic zephyr]

if(Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.RightArrow))
{
timer = Time.deltaTime;
if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.RightArrow) && timer < _dashRepeat)
{
timer = 0; Dash();
}
else
{
timer = 0;
}
}

is it okay like this?

[cosmic dagger]

start a timer when the first press occurs. if a second press happens, check if the timer is under the threshold for a dash . . .

[deft grail]

idk what im even looking at with this code.
first of Input.GetKeyDown runs once

[cinder crag]

does anyone know on why this happens

[ionic zephyr]

what?

[untold patrol]

Using code from 2 different tutorials i followed from youtube, one controlled the camera and player movment and now im trying to use code from another person which allows me to interact with objects. im having a problem that rather than the crosshair being where the raycast is sent from, instead it comes from the mouse. im not sure how to change it but ive found the line of code which the raycast is emitted:
void Update()
{
Ray ray = Camera.main.ScreenPointToRay(Input.mousePosition);
RaycastHit hit;
if (Physics.Raycast(ray, out hit))

How do i change it from being the mouse position to instead be the crosshair or raycast from my camera?

[cosmic dagger]

get the position of the crosshair and use that instead of the mouse position . . .

[untold patrol]

how?

[cosmic dagger]

maybe, by accessing your crosshair GameObject and getting the position? we don't know how your crosshair is setup at all . . .

[untold patrol]

tbh im very out of my depth here, i already have raycasting for another interaction script i just dont know how to port it over to this

im extremley new to this and have just been following tutorials

[cosmic dagger]

then i would take a step back and learn something simpler . . .

[rocky canyon]

  Vector3 cameraPosition = Camera.main.transform.position;
  Vector3 cameraForward = Camera.main.transform.forward;
  float rayDistance = 10f;
  RaycastHit hit;

 if (Physics.Raycast(cameraPosition, cameraForward, out hit, rayDistance))
 {
      // this would raycast from your camera *straight forward*
 }```

[cosmic dagger]

it's hard to help if you don't understand the help given . . .

[untold patrol]

i understand what i need to do

i dont understand how exactly to do it

[rocky canyon]

the question is a bit puzzling as well

[untold patrol]

basically what i want to happen is when i look at an object with the script attached to it the item name will appear on screen. the code works but what i think is happening is because if followed a differnt tutorial for how the players camera functions its not working correcty. the raycast isnt coming from the centre of the players fov or crosshair but instead its coming from my cursor on screen. its a first person game and the cursor shoudlnt be there

can i send videos or stuff in here

[rocky canyon]

the codeblock i sent raycasts from the camera

str8 forward (camera's forward) it should be where ur crosshair's pointing (if ur croshair is indeed in the middle of the screen)

[untold patrol]

so where do i place that in the code

[rocky canyon]

where ever you need the raycast to happen

[untold patrol]

where input. is was where "mouseposition" was

oh i think i did it

thank you

[rocky canyon]

Vector3 cameraPosition = Camera.main.transform.position;
Vector3 cameraForward = Camera.main.transform.forward;
float rayDistance = 10f;
RaycastHit hit;

if (Physics.Raycast(cameraPosition, cameraForward, out hit, rayDistance))
{
    var selectionTransform = hit.transform;
    interaction_text.text = selectionTransform.GetComponent<InteractableObject>().GetItemName();
    interaction_Infor_UI.SetActive(true);
}
else
{
    interaction_Info_UI.SetActive(false);
}```

nice!.. it would look similar to this (im just using ur code as is)

[untold patrol]

i mean quite close tbf

[rocky canyon]

ya, see.. not too hard..

just gotta step back.. look at it.. figure out kinda how its working.. and trial and error

[untold patrol]

now im having the issue that the text doesnt dissapear until i send the raycast onto a different object in range

thanks

a lot

[rocky canyon]

u probably want to add another else statement. at the end of ur if(physics.raycast)

soo.. if it doesn't hit something in the distance it'll also set it false

so.. if(it hits something and its not interactable) -> set false
and.. if(it just doesn't hit anything) -> set false also

[untold patrol]

well i broke soemthing

[rocky canyon]

if (Physics.Raycast(cameraPosition, cameraForward, out hit, rayDistance))
{
    var selectionTransform = hit.transform;

    if (selectionTransform.GetComponent<InteractableObject>())
    {
        interaction_text.text = selectionTransform.GetComponent<InteractableObject>().GetItemName();
        interaction_Infor_UI.SetActive(true);
    }
    else
    {
        interaction_Info_UI.SetActive(false);
    }
}
else
{
    interaction_Info_UI.SetActive(false);
}```

[untold patrol]

yea thats what i got

lemme try and figure it out for myself firsd

first

gimme 5

thank yo tho

[rocky canyon]

but u do realize.. ur calling getcomponent twice.. everyframe now...

    var selectionTransform = hit.transform;
    InteractableObject interactableObject;

    if (selectionTransform.TryGetComponent(out interactableObject))
    {
        interaction_text.text = interactableObject.GetItemName();
        interaction_Infor_UI.SetActive(true);
    }
    else
    {
        interaction_Info_UI.SetActive(false);
    }``` heres a better solution

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Component.TryGetComponent.html

[untold patrol]

idk why that } is red

nvm im special

nvm nvm im lost

[deft grail]

you figured it out or not?

[untold patrol]

nah

i tried

i feel its obvious

[deft grail]

ok

you cant use else on an else

[untold patrol]

oh sorry wrong ss

yeah i got that

[rocky canyon]

your missing a } to close off the first if

[summer stump]

Extra }

[rocky canyon]

put a } between the red } and the else below it

[summer stump]

Oh no, in the wrong place

[rocky canyon]

and remove that oen at the end u added

[untold patrol]

yea that fixed it

thank you again

and now the thing fully works

[rocky canyon]

think of it like this

[untold patrol]

appricaited

that makes sense

its my first time using c#

[rocky canyon]

if { and } else { and }

[untold patrol]

and my only other experince is phython basics

[rocky canyon]

you'll learn.. practice makes perfect

[untold patrol]

hopfully soon cuz i have procrastinated this project way to much

[wicked cairn]

Ok we won’t blame you then cuz python uses none 🤣

[untold patrol]

but yeah thank you so much im sure this has saved me ages

[rocky canyon]

python dgaf 😄

[wicked cairn]

C# brackets are better, it’s like keeping the code contained and organized

[untold patrol]

i like how random discord strangers are more help than the people employed to teach me this stuff

[rocky canyon]

exactly..

[rocky canyon]

we're procrastinating too.

only a different kind..

[untold patrol]

i had about 6 months to do this proejct and now i got like a week and a half

lightwork

[rocky canyon]

sounds about par for what i normally see in here..

people come in here stressing "bro, i gotta build this game in 1 week"

oh really.. how long have u had to work on it?
"3 months"

[untold patrol]

diamonds are made under pressure🔥

(im failing)

[rocky canyon]

it almost makes us wanna watch u burn..

[deft grail]

good

[untold patrol]

good to know im not the only one tho

[rocky canyon]

BUT.. if u have valid excuses.. and are really trying.. we still help

its the ones that just want copy/paste code that really push my buttons

[untold patrol]

tbf when we first got it i started really well and then everything corrupted and i didn tthink to kep a backup so i lost a lot of motivation and did other stuff

[wicked cairn]

I think most people go through the same issues just at a different time in life

[untold patrol]

i mean understandable

[rocky canyon]

the hardest lesson to learn

backup.. and backup some more

some of my projects have been in the works for over a year

[untold patrol]

i get the same with other stuff in life where people just want the awnsers and cant be arsed learning

[wicked cairn]

Means you gained experience tho, build something better. Not bigger, just use that knowledge now

[rocky canyon]

if they corrupt i'd throw my PC out in the street

[untold patrol]

tears would be shed

[rocky canyon]

you can lead a horse to water..

[untold patrol]

"teach a fish to man and fish a day for fish"

[rocky canyon]

exactly

[untold patrol]

well if it all breaks again im sure ill be back in here sometime soon

but naaa i got this light work ez clap

thank you tho for ur help

much appricated

[rocky canyon]

👍 good luck sir, 🍀

[untold patrol]

you too tho im sure you dont need it

[rocky canyon]

oh we.. all do

[untold patrol]

duno if that makes me feel better or more worried but ill take it how it is

[rocky canyon]

well, its b/c the more advanced u get.. the more advanced stuff u try to do..

if ur not pushing ur boundaries. u aren't learning anymore

[cinder crag]

Any ideas on why?

[eternal needle]

Most people arent gonna watch a video to see your code. It really is tedious, just paste it according to the rules

Hey I am having a problem uploading to playstore. They keep complaining about policy violation I don't know what I violated. I have read their emails and it is not helping either. After the last build I send, the app got suspended.

[cosmic dagger]

try #💻┃unity-talk

[untold patrol]

back again. this time im just confused why this doesnt work. whats meant to happen is when the player enters the collider it sets the "playerinrange" function to true and when he leaves the collider it returns to false but it just isnt doing it and idk why . hole point is once the player is in range to interact with the object they can pick it up but i cant get this working

[summer stump]

Hover over "OntriggerEnter" and see what the warning says

Hi, what is the best way for create rooms in a topdown 2d game? I have a room, when i go to the door, i got teleported to the corridor, like old RPG games or like Stardew Valley. I did this by build the corridor far away from the room, and modified the player position on door trigger. Is it good, or how should i do this?

[tidal kiln]

if it works it works

[cosmic dagger]

if it works, it works . . .

[rich adder]

nice

[regal bear]

true haha

[tidal kiln]

you could also split it by scene if your map is larger but dont over complicate it if you dont have to

your solution sounds fine

Btw i have a UI image for a bar, it act weird, i set native size, then the box does not match with my sprite like this:
Whats wrong?

[cosmic dagger]

place a log in the exit method to check if it gets called . . .

[acoustic arch]

alright i did, it did the enter and exit at the same time

when does exit get called?

[slender nymph]

Untick the raycast target option on the outline image

It's blocking the cast to the object you are hovering causing it to exit as soon as the object is set active

[acoustic arch]

oh interesting thanks!

[regal bear]

its for me or for Frostyio?

[acoustic arch]

me

[regal bear]

oh okay 😄

[slender nymph]

Clearly not you since none of that was relevant to your issue which also does not appear to be code related

[regal bear]

Ye but my sprite have Raycast option thats why i tought haha

[acoustic arch]

also odd thing... it works for 1 of the objects not the other 3 but ill look into it a little more firist

[odd crown]

sorry mate

[summer stump]

Should definitely only get the Player reference one time.
Is 1.5 gonna be far enough to get it?

[cosmic dagger]

you'd have more luck in the actual UI channel . . .

[odd crown]

erm.. wanna come vc?

[summer stump]

No

[odd crown]

im kinda new in Unity and would use some help

[odd crown]

sad, but okey

[cosmic dagger]

that's why you're asking here, no?

[odd crown]

maybe, idk, still new here

[summer stump]

As suggested in #💻┃unity-talk you should show the inspector for the player

[cosmic dagger]

so you don't know if you're here to ask for help?

[summer stump]

Also show the inspector for that script

[odd crown]

I am, thats why we are talking rn

[odd crown]

wait, slow

gotta find that first

[cosmic dagger]

exactly. i'd respond to their questions so they can further help you . . .

[odd crown]

i hope thats what you wanted mate

[summer stump]

Ok, 1.5 should be big enough then. Your player is quite tiny

Now the inspector for the script you showed

[odd crown]

i changed that to 3 and nothing happened so

[odd crown]

okay, wait

[summer stump]

Ah, it is ui

Oh, nm

That should be fine. Show the object you are checking for with the Overlap

[odd crown]

you mean the NPC I want to be in range with for this prompt to apear?

[queen adder]

how to get the center of screenspace again?

for a UI text popup

[summer stump]

I dunno. The thing you are checking for. The one tagged blocker

[odd crown]

okay okay

[swift elbow]

0,0,0?

[queen adder]

isnt that bot left?

[swift elbow]

Maybe I'm misremembering things, just create a UI element that's a child of the canvas and copy it's world position

[summer stump]

Correct. That is bottom left.
Center is x resolution / 2 and y resolution / 2

[summer stump]

Why is the collider size absolutely massive when the scale of other things is tiny

It is also offset 4 meters left

[queen adder]

i want it to always center no matter what, ig imma just do resol/2

[odd crown]

dont know mate

just... happened

like I said - im new to unity

the offset is gone btw

[queen adder]

i remember theres some method specialized at getting screenspace thingies before tho

i hate that resolutions arent given as v2's tho

[summer stump]

Well, everything looks superficially set up right. The collider is there, the tags are right, the code is valid.
I would do some Debug.Logs to verify what code is running. Add values like the players position and cound of colliders picked up. In the foreach log the name of the object

[odd crown]

damn, seems hard for me

nvm, gotta leave that for other time

[summer stump]

It does?
Debug log should be the absolute first line of code you ever wrote

I recommend !learn

ty for trying mate

[summer stump]

Oh, but did you reset the collider size?

[odd crown]

no I think

set it to 20 and something

[summer stump]

Well do that.
Set it to 1, 1

And offset to 0,0 if it isn't already

[odd crown]

colider of Blocker you mean?

[summer stump]

Yes

[odd crown]

and now I can walp through an NPC

well... half of him at least

and the prompt is not showing still

[summer stump]

Alright. Well, debug.logs are gonna give you the answer

[fleet sky]

Can i use a custom shader or camera to take in a cubemap and render to the rendertexture?

[odd crown]

maybe

[fleet sky]

my overall goal is to have a camera that renders to a cubemap, and then a shader that samples that view (with panini projection) and outputs to the screen

[summer stump]

#archived-shaders or #💻┃unity-talk

[fleet sky]

hrm okay

[acoustic arch]

odd issue i'm hoping will have an easy fix, there is a scriptable object for each card in my game and their can be duplicates of the same card

but now testing out battles i dealt damage to the opponents card but it changed the health of every scriptable object that was the damaged card

will i be forced to have some type of cardWrapper object to put it in?

[summer stump]

Don't modify SOs at runtime. Generally treat them as immutable.

Generate a class from the SO data, and modify that class

So I guess yes to your last message

[swift stone]

Its my first time using visual studio with unity and codes in general i'm on the latest version of visual studio does anyone know how to fix this?

[summer stump]

What version of visual studio is it?

[swift stone]

17.9

[summer stump]

Hmmm... is that the sub version? Or is it not 2019 or 2022?

[acoustic arch]

could i manage the card's in battle health inside of the battle script? not changing the SO's fields at all then

[swift stone]

2022

[pure kite]

any way I can recreate this effect in unity? (merging vertices based on the distance from an object)

[summer stump]

Sorry, not sure what you mean. As long as you are not changing the SO fields, it is fine. Read from thr SO, write to a POCO or MonoBehaviour

[summer stump]

I would close visual studio completely, go into unity, go to the edit > preferences > external tools menu, and click regenerate project files

[acoustic arch]

in my script that manages using abilities, and battling i could make a variable(s) for currentHealth and when loading cards assign the health to the SO's max health

then change it from there

[summer stump]

Without implementing it yourself, the closes is REPLACING the model with LODs

[summer stump]

If it works it works. You just need individual instances for each card

[acoustic arch]

might be a little annoying, it'll just be 6 int variables that change every battle instance

[summer stump]

Yeah. I would definitely recommend doing a POCO and just storing a few lists or arrays of the ones in your hand, on the "field", in the graveyard, and in the deck

The constructor for the poco would just take the SO and populate its values from that

But there are lots of ways to do it

[static cedar]

How to prevent this?

It gets pretty annoying./

[swift stone]

I dont think it worked

[summer stump]

Don't put breakpoints there 🤷‍♂️

[summer stump]

Are you opening the project from inside unity?

[dusty zinc]

Hey yall, im trying to implement a system that allows me to save the players progress through files. The problem? The player picks up items that are added to the players class, each of these items contains a sprite. Whenever i convert my classes to json and add them to files I cant load the sprite back into then item. Im trying to use a class for sprites that maps their location to a id reference i save the id instead of the sprite and then use a function from this class “getsprite()” to find it. But i cant seem to make it work for the life of me! Am i going about this all wrong? Does anyone have experience with this or have a simpler way?

[acoustic arch]

what is POCO? i think i'm going to use a wrapper with a constructor for the base item with properties

[summer stump]

Plain old c object.

public class Foo { }

[acoustic arch]

oh lol

[summer stump]

Does not inherit from MonoBehaviour or SO or anything

[acoustic arch]

here look at what i found online which i think will work

https://forum.unity.com/threads/getting-unique-information-for-multiples-copies-of-scriptable-objects.1285907/

spiney199 example

4th comment

i think that's what your referring to as well?

[summer stump]

Didn't read too much, but what the second comment is saying is exactly what I am suggesting

Yeah, and the 4th

[acoustic arch]

alright cool, might have a decent bit of work to do fixing this around then

least i did this earlier than later

[static cedar]

Every new code i write, i literally can't debug.

[swift stone]

Yeah

I'm opening this

[polar acorn]

Why are you trying to breakpoint a curly brace

there's no code there, it can't break on that

[static cedar]

Here's some non curly brace examples.

[polar acorn]

Is your !ide configured?

It should be tbh. There are places where debugging does work (though scant). And i do get highlighting and warnings.

[static cedar]

Ok i added random code.
It can break on the previously cannot be found ones.

What is happening.

[summer stump]

That is odd. Not sure.
I guess try going through all this
#💻┃code-beginner message

[static cedar]

Ig i should update this and see.

[teal viper]

Could be an issue with your cs project or solution files. Maybe try regenerating project files.

Also, make sure you don't have compile errors.

[fleet sky]

why does this loaded resource go kaboom after one frame?

is there some way to get a permanent reference? or is getting it every frame not a problem?

[polar acorn]

It'll only go away if you don't do anything with it

i definitely do things with it

This starts throwing NPEs after one frame on the SetTexture line

when i uncomment that line, it works fine

[polar acorn]

If the SetTexture line is the one throwing the NRE, then that means _mat is null. Chances are you're running OnRenderImage before Start runs. Change that to Awake instead

wait one sec i changed something else and it's dying

huh nvm, guess it works now

[rocky canyon]

Edit > ☝️

[static cedar]

Ah yes.

[versed light]

in unity example code they have this in an editor script:
floatValue = EditorPrefs.GetFloat("FloatExample", floatValue);

if you have two different editor scripts both named "FloatExample" will this cause conflicts or does it seperate them based on the script

[scenic shuttle]

I need help for code simplification.
In my Code I have variables
"GameObject doorOne, doorTwo" and "Button btnOne, btnTwo;"

So I'm confused about how to make the code simpler if in my case I have 10 different buttons and 10 different doors.

It would look very stacked in my opinion if I listed 10 variables.

    [SerializeField] private GameObject doorOne, doorTwo;

    [SerializeField] private Button btnOne, btnTwo;

    private void Start()
    {
        btnOne.onClick.AddListener(() => Door("1", doorOne));
        btnTwo.onClick.AddListener(() => Door("2", doorTwo));
    }

    public void Door(string answerText, GameObject doorObject)
    {
        keypad.SetActive(true);
        this.answer = answerText;
        this.door = doorObject;
    }

[versed light]

put the doors in an array

same goes for buttons

then in start just loop the array where each door index matches a button index

now you just need to make sure your two arrays are in the correct order in inspector

[scenic shuttle]

Like this?

        {
            int index = i;
            buttons[i].onClick.AddListener(() => DoorSelect((index + 1).ToString(), doors[index]));
        }```

[versed light]

if you need more complex answerText your array might need to be a key value pair where you have <GameObject,string> for your door array

[versed light]

yeah

if you use array not list then its .Length not .Count but you get the idea

[scenic shuttle]

Okay thanks. I will try it.

[fleet sky]

what's a good way to pass camera information around?

rotation, position, etc

[versed light]

make it a singleton

assuming theres only one camera through the duration of the game

[fleet sky]

ehh more or less

[versed light]

thats the simplest way the other way is those that need to know can just find the camera via FindObjectByType<Camera> in Awake

now they hold reference to camera

in other words dont pass camera info around, only pass reference to the camera its far simpler

oh wait if its the only camera its already in the global domain via Camera.main

so ignore all i just said and use Camera.main where you need it

[fleet sky]

so i technically do have multiple cameras

[versed light]

ah ok are you using cinemachine

[fleet sky]

uh i don't think so xD

[versed light]

if you have multiple cameras is only one active at any give time

[fleet sky]

well... hmm

[scenic shuttle]

Thank sir, it work.

[fleet sky]

no they're both technically active, just different render textures

there will only be one rendering to the main RenderTexture

[heady horizon]

^ I'm having trouble rotating a cyclinder with a collider attached .... it looks like the collider is being rotated by its pivot point... i've tried the trick with an empty game object to create a new pivot which works for the mesh but not for the collider

[versed light]

ok one option then is make a CameraController which holds references to all cameras. make that a singleton then query the CameraController for which ever camera you care to know about and the controller gives you the reference of that camea so you have access to its data

[fleet sky]

okay lemme back up, sorry, singleton probably makes the most sense

it's more like a player

and there's only one player, and i need to pass around its information

[versed light]

are you rotating the child object aswell ?

like two rotations going on

[heady horizon]

i split it out so i'm just rotating the pivot_hurtbox empty game object

[versed light]

can you show inspector of cylinder

[versed light]

just use a singleton imo its the easiest approach a player is very different to a camera

[versed light]

are you certain the cylinder isn't being rotated aswell

[fleet sky]

yeah, i only used the word camera because i don't really have a player yet, only a camera controller and a camera

[onyx tusk]

how 2 make dragging for 3d object? i need only x & z, i have an global y

[heady horizon]

yer as far as i can tell no

it's all being done in this animation

[rocky canyon]

its not going to rotate correctly w/ scales being offset like that

if u need the scale offset use it as a child object and scale the child object instead. keeping the parent object scaled to 1:1:1

[regal bear]

Hi, im just making my first game, i have stats like hunger, thirst, fatigue, and i just change these independently but with the same formula, i feel like its unoptimized an i see a lot of kinda repetitive code, so how should i handle stats like these?

[topaz mortar]

make one function with your formula, so you can just call that function for each stat

[topaz mortar]

I have a bunch of combat logic that I need to run both on my client and server (anti-cheat)
They're both C#, but they're two separate code bases
Any tips on how to manage this so my combat doesn't desync?
The code is very similar, but it's different in a few places as well, not sure if it's possible to make all the actual combat logic the same and then separate the extra stuff that is different

[eternal needle]

definitely a more #archived-networking related concern. I suspect the answers you'll get first ask you why its even separated in the first place. A majority of games really dont need this, unless you are literally making the next largest competitive game.

[topaz mortar]

why wouldn't I want anti-cheat for a small game?

it's not a huge deal or perfect anti-cheat (probably) but some basics are fine not?

[eternal needle]

i was referring to the separate code bases

[warped sorrel]

building a 2d game like terraria/minecraft. should i make each block/tile it's own gameobject?

[topaz mortar]

well one is my client wich is unity and the other one is a UGS C# Cloud Code Module (the server)

my server is not build in unity

[eternal needle]

i see, still more of a networking issue or even try the unity multiplayer discord which has UGS chats

[topaz mortar]

well it's not really a question about networking or multiplayer
I just wanna know how to keep two separate code bases synced

[astral falcon]

I think you are mixing up somethings in your head when it comes to syncing. You do not want to replicate the whole code base on both sides, but the returning values or predicted ones when it comes to network.

[topaz mortar]

it has nothing to do with networking 😦

and yeah I do not want to duplicate the entire code base

I want to somehow make sure my combat logic remains the same on both client & server when I need to make changes to it

[astral falcon]

Again, the logic should happen on your client. The server should check if its allowed, but not dictate the logic of your game

or maybe you need to rephrase, what you are actually want to do. Combat logic sounds something for client for me. But that could be anything, as combat can be anything, so maybe you gotta explain a bit more

[topaz mortar]

I'm generating a random seed on my server, which is saved on the server and then sent back to the client
The client then handles combat using that random seed
At certain intervals, for example after an item drop, the client will send a notification to the server that something happened
The server then re-runs the combat logic to make sure everything is ok and gives the reward

[astral falcon]

Ah, now things get clearer. So where is your issue. You dont want things to get desynced. But your datastream already sounds like its quite static and dependent on seeds, so your code should already know whats the latest state for both sides

[topaz mortar]

the issue is that I have two separate code bases, one Unity client and one C# Module server
So I have most of my combat code twice
I want to prevent minor bugs sneaking into it when I change things that could cause a desync

[astral falcon]

Id say it is just bad practice to have it that way. I would refactor it before running into not updated code on one side because documentation was lagging to tell or whatever

[topaz mortar]

how?

They're different code bases? There's no way around that?

[astral falcon]

If they are different code bases but doing the same thing, one thing is doing too much. no matter the codebase, language or what not

[topaz mortar]

They're not doing the same thing.
The client is showing combat to the user.
The server is preventing cheating

[astral falcon]

Well, your messages are kinda confusing then. You have "most of my combat code twice" but "they are not doing the same thing"

[topaz mortar]

Let's say there's a formula for damage in there somewhere: int baseDamage = 100
And I want to change that value to 105 but I forget to do it on the server

that's what I want to prevent

[astral falcon]

yeah, DO NOT have it twice

jesus...

[topaz mortar]

How?

[west sonnet]

In my 2D game, I have enemies that will follow the player when they detect the player. How can I stop the enemies from falling off edges if the player jumps to another platform? I want them to stay on the platform they're on

[astral falcon]

Decide who will provide those values and deliver them to the other side. Id say your server and database have the values and set them on the client. Client is only using them. If the client wants to change them, they have to send a request to the server and the server decicdes if its correct or not.

[topaz mortar]

That makes sense for values, but what about actual code?
For example I have armor and % armor reduction and flat armor reduction
I first calculate % armor reduction and after that flat armor reduction
But I decide to change it around at some point, how do I make sure that logic is on both the client & the server?

What you're suggesting would have me execute all the code on the server. Which would then have to send back all the data to the client
Which is way too slow on the client and causes delays

[astral falcon]

Again, your server is providing values and predecting maybe. But if you have an item with armor and reduction, thats on client side. If you want to prevent the client to alter that armor stat, you can always sync now and then against the servers database of items for example. And saying "I decide to change it around at some point", what is IT? the default value? The calculation of the armor in general? In that case you are dreaming of a runtime compiled game...

and as someone else said before, this is like totally about networking and syncing logics. so maybe you get some more insights over there

[topaz mortar]

Let's start a thread for this? 🙂

[west sonnet]

I have an edge detector object infront of my enemy. I want the ray detection to go straight down so I can use it to detect if the enemy is on the ground. How can I calculate the raydirection ?

To get it to go straight downwards

[astral falcon]

Vector.down?

[astral falcon]

Which is basically just 0,-1,0

[west sonnet]

This makes sense, right? The ray direction would be starting at the EdgeDetector object and going downwards?

[astral falcon]

nope, the edgedetector is your origin of the ray and the direction is the direction. Now you create a vector in the direction of 0,0,0 to your detector.

[west sonnet]

My RayDirection is going 0,0,0 to my detector?

[astral falcon]

your direction is vector.down, and the origin is your detector

you are confused about position vector and direction vector 😉 we all have been there

[west sonnet]

Yeah, the code I have. I should start the ray from the detector, and the direction will be downwards, correct?

[astral falcon]

yes, so do not subtract your detector in your direction. the direction is only a direction, up down, left right, whatever, but from the origin you set within your raycast

[topaz mortar]

randomSeed = System.Convert.ToInt32(entry.Value);
entry.Value is an int64 from my server, why does a plain (int) cast not work?

[west sonnet]

Oooooh, I see. Thank you

[astral falcon]

Capacity of how long they can be

[topaz mortar]

but then System.Convert.ToInt32 wouldn't work either? would it?

[astral falcon]

64 is like trillions, default int numbers to 33k or something. I am not sure if it will cry about it or just try to convert it and cut off, which would be bad for you. I do not think you need 64 in this case.

[topaz mortar]

Why is it even a 64 bit value? I'm just defining a normal int, which should be int32, it's C#, not unity

int randomSeed = random.Next(1, 2147483647);

Guess the server is transferring it as int64 for some reason

[molten harness]

https://hatebin.com/rivldfdqmq when i jump while sprinting even with a jumpforce of (50,5,50) i barely jump, its like i jump in place and not run jump

[keen dew]

You'll have to show the entire movement code

[west sonnet]

I have this code for my enemies to detect when they are on ground. When they reach an edge, they stop, instead of running off the edge. Thing is, if the player goes onto the other side of the enemies, they don't try to go to the player, I think because the raycast for edge detection is detecting and edge, which stops the enemy from moving. Anyone have any idea how to get them to move again?

[topaz mortar]

Is there a more reliable random number generator other than System.Random?
It's not producing the exact same results on my server and my client using the same seed.
The client somehow makes some values 1 lower and some the same

[keen dew]

This is not all of it. No sprinting code for example. Just post the entire class. There's nothing in what you've shown that would explain the problem.

[west sonnet]

How can I flip a Ray Direction? I want it to face left then flip to face right

[languid spire]

multiply it by -1 ?

[west sonnet]

Why am I getting this error? This is all written in Update()

[topaz mortar]

because it's possible for RayDirection to not have a value

[languid spire]

read the message. RayDirection is not always assigned to before you use it

[molten harness]

https://gdl.space/utabefijiw.cs

[topaz mortar]

your if / else if logic makes no sense

[west sonnet]

How so? It's dependent on a bool which is always true or false?

[topaz mortar]

it should just be if / else, there's no need for else if here

[languid spire]

exactly so why the second if ?

[west sonnet]

ahhh, I see. Thank you

[keen dew]

There's still no sprint movement code here. Is sprinting done via animation? That will override force based movement

[molten harness]

sprinting is just the Move() but the speed is 7 instead of 3 for walking 5 for jogging

[deft grail]

are you in 3D? do you have a Rigidbody? do you have a Collider with isTrigger checked?

[keen dew]

If the only thing different is the movement speed, all I can think of is the animation having root motion enabled and overriding rigidbody movement

[molten dock]

there is no rigibody

[languid spire]

So why no Debug BEFORE the if to see if it's even executed?

[deft grail]

you need one for physics messages

read the documentation for OnTriggerEnter/OnCollisionEnter

[molten dock]

thank you

[languid spire]

you should not need someone to tell you to read the docs, you should be doing that automatically yourself

[molten dock]

yeah real

was just too blindsighted by other issues i forgot that i needed rigibody

[proud fossil]

can someone help me? my regular jump suddently became super weak but is still affected by "Jumping power" but when I jump by using the Jump Buffer it works normally for some reason

[proud fossil]

ah

[deft grail]

just without looking at the code your probably overwriting the velocity somewhere else before/while you jump

[fleet sky]

why do you have to get the parent object through the transform... sob

[languid spire]

why is that a problem?

[fleet sky]

unintuitive

it's not that bad but it's just unintuitive

one would expect to be able to have a game object and directly access its children

[languid spire]

true, you would expect the game object to have the parent. but the transform component deals with both parents and children, blame Unity devs for poor design choices

Basically, GameObject is just a holder for Transform, so you have to ask, why bother?

[fleet sky]

odd

it's weird that all objects need a transform tbh

but not necessarily a problem either

just kinda odd

[languid spire]

no, transforms hold all the real info, what is odd is that transforms need a game object

[fleet sky]

huh, i see

[languid spire]

if you think about it a Game Object is just a List of Components nothing more and one of those is the Transform

[fleet sky]

yes except Transform is special because it can't be removed

[languid spire]

yep because without position rotation and scale an object is just a figment of your imagination

[fleet sky]

what if i want a figment of my imagination

[languid spire]

ScriptableObject

[fleet sky]

ah, lol okay

[outer scarab]

Hello, I wanna create a isometric game like Sims where players can create new rooms based on existing room models but I also want them to be able to edit those room models (add/delete grid cells). Is Unity Tilemaps suitable for this or do I have to generate my own tilemaps/grids programmatically?

[deft grail]

yeah it can do that

[outer scarab]

Thanks :))

[languid spire]

you need to look into asset bundels and addressables

[outer scarab]

Any recommendations regarding asset bundle Sir?

[languid spire]

yes read the Unity docs

[outer scarab]

I know how to bundle assets

Thought you are talking about a pre existing one

[languid spire]

you want your users to edit your assets, so you make asset bundles or addressable packages provide them to your users which they can then edit and use in your game

[outer scarab]

Aaaaah

Gotcha

Thanks

[fathom locust]

guys I think I have a player controller problem.

[astral falcon]

😄 What do you expect from just posting this video in a coding channel?

What have you tested yet and whats not expected to happen?

[fathom locust]

My sprite should be walk correctly but unfortunately it's not

When I pressed WASD It's worked normally but when I didn't pressed them My sprite was flown away

as you can see in the video

[loud mango]

how do i make it so that as long as i keep pressing a button i keep moving ( for mobile unity 2d game )

idk what to use

like button.something..... idk something

[astral falcon]

What sprite? I only see 3d objects, or I am just blind

[fathom locust]

the capsule one lamooo

[loud mango]

ofc, the only rule is to use a capsule as a player duh

[fading trench]

Vector3 moveDir = Quaternion.Euler(0f, targetAngle , 0f) * Vector3.forward;
