[deft grail]

you should be checking input in Update

[quick fractal]

More like that?

[deft grail]

yeah, if you want it to be just a "press", then use Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0) instead

[quick fractal]

And then how would i go about asigning an animator & triggering an animation on said aniamtor

I assume i need a [serializeField] like bawsi said

[deft grail]

well maybe you should know what [SerializeField] does

do you know?

[quick fractal]

Adds these so i can reference it easily?

[deft grail]

yes, but so does public

[quick fractal]

I take it this isn't what i need?

[deft grail]

what happened with this code?

why did you suddenly change it

to play the animation

[quick fractal]

Wait was that right?

[deft grail]

yes

you need to do some basic C# course

[cosmic dagger]

you should try looking some of this stuff up. there are plenty of tutorials about playing or calling an animation, instead of guessing . . .

[quick fractal]

I am in the process of doing them

Learning as i go which people seem to dislike

That or it's just a bad idea lol

[deft grail]

well you are writing literally random code so

[quick fractal]

I've been looking at the animation documentation for the last hour or so and it just isn't clicking, nor did i see it mention referencing an animator

[quick fractal]

I wouldn't call it random

[deft grail]

i would

first of PlayString doesnt even exist

[quick fractal]

I have an end goal of getting an attack animation to play, so i followed what was on the page. That's hardly random

[deft grail]

i highly doubt Animator.PlayString() was on the documentation for animation

[quick fractal]

That wasn't, this was

[deft grail]

exactly

so why did you change it to some random code

[quick fractal]

I got Animator.PlayString() from my year or so of modding for B&S but it clearly wasn't right

No need to get hostile

[modest dust]

Yes, because we then get silly mistakes like this one, instead of focusing on the actual Unity-related issue

[quick fractal]

Well, they did say i had it right originally despite it not working even after reverting Animator.PlayString to anim.Play() which is confusing

[modest dust]

Post your current code

[quick fractal]

I assume i've not referenced the animator component correctly

[modest dust]

How do you expect anim to be assigned to anything? You're assigning animator, not anim

Either use animator or delete line 8 and serialize anim instead

[quick fractal]

The unity docs have pretty much what I have but with a different input and a debug

[modest dust]

Read what I wrote again

[quick fractal]

I read it, just hadn't replied

[molten dock]

private void Start()
{
anim = GetComponent<Animator>();
}

[modest dust]

Understandable

[molten dock]

this will work assuming your script is on the same object as the animator

[cosmic dagger]

but you're not assigning anim anywhere in your code . . .

[modest dust]

That's some sort of a solution but it won't solve his current confusion

[deft grail]

anim is still null, you dont understand your own code

[quick fractal]

By changing anim to animator, it plays

But only once cause I probably haven't set the animation/animator up right

[modest dust]

Yes, because anim and animator are two different fields, one non-serialized, and the other serialized and assigned in the inspector

[quick fractal]

Yeah i get that now, thanks for explaining it. I have messed with that before it's just when using any new script it's tricky and i promise i'm watching videos and reading documentation as best i can

I made a transition between Attack1 and Idle and it now works like a charm

[cosmic dagger]

i mean, they're two different components: one is Animator, the other is Animation. you specifically typed two different fields with separate names. what part is tricky about that?

[modest dust]

I assume the tricky part is a lack of C# basics

[quick fractal]

The part where i'm learning a coding language and it's only day one

That's the tricky bit

[modest dust]

It would be a good idea then to go through a C# course first

Unless it's another one of those scenarios where "I have to do it for school, I don't have enough time"

[cosmic dagger]

if this is day one, then you should be doing a beginner C# course. that's paramount to doing anything in unity . . .

[modest dust]

Otherwise there is no reason not to

[quick fractal]

I'm going through the brackeys tutorials and slowly reading unity docs

I'm aware they're not perfect videos and someone is telling me the bad practices

[cosmic dagger]

skip brackeys and do some actual C# vidoes or tutorials . . .

[deft grail]

and if you are following a brackeys video, how have you got errors like this with your code anyway?

[quick fractal]

You think i'm just watching random brackeys vids? I'm doing the C# beginners tutorial lol

[cosmic dagger]

they (brackeys) are random one-offs that show a specific feature, and don't provide a basis for C# . . .

[deft grail]

then that doesnt cover Unity

[cosmic dagger]

well yeah, you never stated doing any to begin with . . .

[quick fractal]

No one asked what I was doing

They just started saying "why are you messing up" when i'm on day one 😮‍💨

[cosmic dagger]

if we're saying to do beginner C# tutorials, it would make sense to respond that you have or currently are . . .

[quick fractal]

Well now you know

[deft grail]

what video are you watching exactly

[molten dock]

simple mistake its just that animation is reffering to one animation whilst animator is the animator component which is probably what u wanted

[quick fractal]

I'm on loops but i've looked through classes, methods and arrays
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N775KsWQVkw&list=PLPV2KyIb3jR4CtEelGPsmPzlvP7ISPYzR

[modest dust]

And it would also make sense for him to finish the C# tutorials before going into Unity on day one, but that's another matter

[cosmic dagger]

because all of your issues are the basic C# that you learn after a tutorial . . .

[deft grail]

ok alright, and may i wonder how on earth are you following a C# tutorial in Visual Studio Code while being on Unity and doing animations?
are you doing multiple things at once?

[quick fractal]

I stopped using VSC after the basics

[deft grail]

do the C# videos, then watch a video on Unity, then do what you want

[shell fern]

how do you join a project once theyve added you to organization

[quick fractal]

Why are you and RandomUnityInvader(); being so hostile?

[deft grail]

it should show up in your UnityHub i think

[quick fractal]

If it's not the ideal method for you and you're annoyed by my questions, don't answer them

[shell fern]

it doesnt for some reason

[deft grail]

because you are saying 4 different things at once.
you clearly need a C# tutorial and Unity, yet you say you are doing one while you are clearly not

[deft grail]

did you restart after adding to the organization?

[shell fern]

yes he did

[quick fractal]

I'm doing the one i sent, i'm not actively "doing" any unity tutorials but i'm doing ok.
I am in fact doing tutorials and reading things, i wouldn't be able to even write to the console if i weren't

Now, would you both chill? Please?

[deft grail]

we are chill, however dont come back with some random problems like Rigidbody.StartMoving()...

[shell fern]

@deft grail

[deft grail]

yeah i saw, not sure further havent done a project with people
try looking at the forums people have similar issues maybe there is an answer there that will help you

[cosmic dagger]

i'm not trying to be hostile. from the questions i've seen it appears you're missing the basics of C#, which would answer/fix most of your queries. that's why i suggested or even brought it up . . .

[quick fractal]

Sorry, the constant . . . makes it seem like you're being really demeaning to a newbie 😛

Oh

[cosmic dagger]

no problem. that's just how i type. check every message i've ever sent . . .

[shell fern]

@cosmic daggerhow do you join a project once theyve added you to organization

[static cedar]

I personally went with Brocode.

[shell fern]

collab

[quick fractal]

So anyway, thanks @modest dust for the help with the animator and @deft grail for the rigidbody stuff related to colliders ❤️

[deft grail]

shouldnt ping people or ask random people for help
you can ask your question and wait for a response

[shell fern]

i just need the answer right now

google didnt help at all

[cosmic dagger]

no idea. i've only done solo projects or created packages for people to import . . .

[shell fern]

where could I found how to do this

[cosmic dagger]

the same place i would: google . . .

[static cedar]

It's mostly cause beginners tend to jump to Unity and usually ignore C#.
It's hard to use some unity features when Unity uses C# to communicate with it.
An example is inheritance. You need to inherit Monobehaviour to have script integration with game objects.

[cosmic dagger]

that sounds a bit rude when asking people who lend their free time . . .

[static cedar]

And we've seen some really obvious mistakes like thinking var declarations like some tags.

[shell fern]

Apologies, I had no intention to sound rude I was just clarifying that I pinged someone because I was looking for the answer quickly

[cosmic dagger]

cool, but don't ping a random person; it's against the rules, especially, if they weren't helping . . .

[shell fern]

didnt know

[quick fractal]

I think now that i've made my attack animations and the basic Player/Enemy scripts i'll go watch the rest of brackeys and then get into some Unity scripting stuff.
I don't mean to come off as an idiot who has no idea what i'm doing cause i at least know what my code does, just gets a bit confusing lol.

[cosmic dagger]

always check the #854851968446365696

[static cedar]

That's fine, as long as you understand reference types and value types, you can manage for the time being.

[cosmic dagger]

that's a serious topic everyone needs to understand . . .

[molten dock]

not true my grandma has done fine without

[static cedar]

Some people genuinely thought you can copy objects by setting a var or losing their minds why the value on other variables doesn't change when it's implicitly copied.

[cosmic dagger]

yep. you get people who create the same variable name on different scripts and think they're connected, and that by changing the value of one, affects the other . . .

[static cedar]

Sounds like he's using VSC, but in VS, structs and classes are coloured differently.

Sucks that that isn't the same case with Rider or VSC.

[cosmic dagger]

i have Rider but have barely used it. i need to change from VSC. i am surprised by how much resources it uses . . .

[ionic zephyr]

anyone knows how to do a good dash?

I am trying to do it with an IEnumerator but doesnt work

[wintry quarry]

It's highly dependent on your movement script

[ionic zephyr]

The thing is, do I have to make a check in the movemente to check if it is dashing?

like this, if (!isDashing) {Movement code]

[wintry quarry]

Again it depends heavily on your movement script

maybe

Disabling normal movement during a dash is pretty common

[ionic zephyr]

okay, thanks

[rocky canyon]

void Update(){
        characterController.Move((finalVector + dash) * Time.deltaTime);
        dash = Vector3.Lerp(dash, Vector3.zero, smoothing * Time.deltaTime);
}```

my dash works like this..

then i just set dash to my direction * dashSpeed w/e i wanna dash

[static cedar]

Since I'm using state machines.

[rocky canyon]

the lerp slowly drops it back down to zero (basically zero) ;D but i gotta redo it tbh

[static cedar]

I just make a dash state.

[rocky canyon]

gonna try to use a coroutine next time

[static cedar]

I saw a sample dash script that caches the current velocity sets velocity to a constant value and sets it back to the original value.

[rich adder]

https://unity.huh.how/lerp/wrong-lerp 😮

[static cedar]

But it's up to you if you want your velocity to reset after you dashed.

[rocky canyon]

well mines constantly updating its movement vectors.. so no need to cache it
and im aware its the wrong lerp lol..
imma convert it to MoveTowards..
ever since I've learned I did my lerps wrong while learning I've converted 1 or 2 of em to correctly lerp..
after that they all just turned MoveTowards lol

[cosmic dagger]

That's pretty much what I did before . . .

[rocky canyon]

"zero", many forms of it

heh 😅

oh, u know what ive never done... i always wondered what would happen if u kept it running for a long long time..

would it eventually fill up all the available decimal places?

[cosmic dagger]

Using a coroutine makes it easier to set up the lerp properly. I like using them because I use an AnimationCurve for easing to create the perfect type of movement . . .

[rocky canyon]

i once started using animation curves like that but I would expose the curve in the editor.. and for some reason I'd get errors in the console all the time

never did figure out why.. and i eventually went away with using my own curves, and started using a tween library instead

actually, im curious of what the error was.. imma have to try to reproduce it now.. cuz im curious again

[cosmic dagger]

You can always use Easings.cs from online to have access to all of the easing types . . .

[cosmic dagger]

It was probably the vfx graph editor error from Unity that always appears . . .

[rocky canyon]

UnityEditor.EditorApplication:Internal_CallDelayFunctions ()```

i dont think this is hte exact error i had

but it was similar

[cosmic dagger]

Oh, that's a new (different) one . . .

[rocky canyon]

ya, it was def an editor issue.. b/c it was only when the inspector was visible w/ that curve variable id get it

when i collapsed the component.. no such error

circa 2021

[rich adder]

used to get weird errors when I'd full screen AnimationCurve on unity 2021

or fullscreening game mode would trigger it after editing curve

weirdest thing

[cosmic dagger]

it's just smth about dem curves . . .

[arctic ibex]

Quick question, any ideas as to why this isn't working (specifically the groundcheck, it always shows onfloor to be true, even when in the air)

The air has many trigger colliders around, but none are solid, so they shouldn't be triggering it.
The if statment comes directly form a 3d tutorial, but I hcanged it to physics 2d.

[twilit cliff]

Are you trying to implement something like if your character is on floor, on floor should be true ?

[arctic ibex]

Yes

I came back to the game after a month or so and am now despreately trying to fix the code so it's not horrendous

[twilit cliff]

Coming to your question again, have you added RB to your floor object as well or just a collider?!

[arctic ibex]

Uh, their using a tilemap collider, but yes, I believe so? Let me check rq

Yeah it's got a RB

[misty coral]

Is anyone very familiar with making mirrors in unity?
I made a basic one following a tutorial but I have a few questions

[twilit cliff]

@arctic ibex

Still a learner here but what I would have tried instead of Raycast is OncollisionEnter

Since both floor and your player character have RB, you can try using OncollisionEnter and then see.

Add a tag to floor as "floor* and then try below

void OncollisionEnter (Collision other)
{

if(other.gameobject.comparetag("floor"))
{
on floor = true;
}

else
{
onFloor = false;
}

}

If yours is a 2D game, use OncollisionEnter2D

[arctic ibex]

Okay, I'll try that

[gaunt ice]

the target of raycast doesnt require rb to get hit

[twilit cliff]

@gaunt ice#0

Here you go, someone you who can easily help you fix the problem 😁

Happy to see you again @gaunt ice#0 😊🙏

[hallow sun]

bad, this would set you false when colliding with a wall

[arctic ibex]

That what it did last time I used that method, but i Figured I could make the wall a different tilemap and not tag it, would that work?

[hallow sun]

no, anything you collide with would set it off

[arctic ibex]

not if you put a tag check on the oncollision enter right?

[hallow sun]

just do this instead:

void OnCollisionEnter2D (Collision other)
{
  if(other.gameobject.CompareTag("floor"))
  {
    onFloor = true;
  }
}
void OnCollisionExit2D (Collision other)
{
  if(other.gameobject.CompareTag("floor"))
  {
    onFloor = false;
  }
}```

the one you have rn wouldn't notice when you leave the floor, and instead change when you touch anything that isnt floor

[brazen cedar]

helloo

Where can I ask a question regarding github?

[acoustic arch]

im trying to make my scriptable object's be able to be duplicated with a few unique fields from the user, so i made a wrapper for the scriptable object

im not sure how to make this fit in with the rest of what the code was like though

do i need to change every instance of the cards in the users inventory, enemy decks to be a new object of the card wrapper class?

"https://paste.ee/p/2jH2N" - wrapper script

'https://paste.ee/p/GL0jN' - user card inv

[twilit cliff]

Even I'm not sure, you can ask here and see if you get an answer or someone will redirect you to the respective channel

[acoustic arch]

if it has to do with unity its probably ok

[brazen cedar]

I have been trying to upload my project into github, so I created a new repository once again and did the git lfs process so there's no issue

But there is a file that doesn't allow me to track or I don't know how to

[frosty hound]

The problem is you didn't first commit the Unity gitignore file so that the library folder isn't included.

https://github.com/github/gitignore/blob/main/Unity.gitignore

It would be easier if you just create a new repo, commit this first at the root level, then add your project.

[brazen cedar]

Disgrace rain uppon me

Thank you

So I commit the repository with only the gitignore and nothing more

Right?

[brazen cedar]

Ehhm

I did as you said, added the gitignore first to the repository and then tried to add the project

And it is saying the same thing

What should I do?

Should I ignore it and commit anyway?

[charred spoke]

Did you first commit the gitignore ?

You should not be able to add anything from the library folder

[brazen cedar]

I did commit it when there was nothing in the repo

[charred spoke]

Hmm I dont think I have ever seen multiple gitignore files

The text should be in your .gitignore file

[brazen cedar]

What text?

[charred spoke]

The text inside Unity.gitignore

[brazen cedar]

Should I replace the default one?

[charred spoke]

Well yes

[brazen cedar]

oh so the Unity.gitignore is for me to copy the text and paste it into the default one?

[charred spoke]

I have never seen anything different than just .gitignore I dont think git even considers a file called Unity as a proper ignore

[charred spoke]

Thats my understanding yes

You can have multiple .gitignore files in sub directories

But i have never seen a named one before

[brazen cedar]

Damn so I need to erase it and do the process again

[charred spoke]

Would be easier yes. You can erase commits and re-write the history but at this point I would not recommend this

[brazen cedar]

I will tomorrow, I'm really sleepy

Thanks for your help

Are you trying to create scriptable objects that are another type to reference in scripts, or use a base scriptable object and store/create it in memory? From what you have now, it looks like the latter, but your description sounds like you may be wanting the former? For clarity, the former would suggest something like

public class SomeCardSO : ScriptableObject {}
[CreateAssetMenu()]
public class SomeBuff : SomeCardSO {}
[CreateAssetMenu()]
public class SomeUnit : SomeCardSO {}

public class SomeUsage : Mono
{
public SomeCardSO card; //can provide a "buff" or "unit" from inspector
}

While the latter would suggest something more like:

[System.Serializable]
public class SomeCard {}
[System.Serializable]
public class SomeBuff : SomeCard {}
[System.Serializable]
public class SomeUnit : SomeCard {}

public class SomeUsage : Mono
{
SomeCard card; //cannot set card from inspector (as theres no object to set it to), instead a new instance can be generated by code

void SomeFunc()
{
card = ScriptableObject.CreateInstance<SomeBuff>(); //if someCard is meant to be a SO
card = new SomeBuff(); //if someCard is meant to be a type

```?

[wide stag]

Didnt work

[stray pivot]

what?

[stray pivot]

you mean if its enable or disabled?

[wide stag]

Yes

[stray pivot]

use an if state ment like this that guy said

[stray pivot]

what do yu meant it didnt work?

[gaunt ice]

are you want to access it in other (script) component?

[wide stag]

I have two codes in one object one changes this value and the other should check this value

[gaunt ice]

so you want to access it in another component
you have to reference it and use it
https://unity.huh.how/references/serializing-component-references

[stray pivot]

bruh do it like this "isequpied"

[stray pivot]

can you send a snapshot of the variable

then do it like this:

If I install this: https://www.nuget.org/packages/System.Runtime.Extensions
That overrides the System.Random function not?
So even if my .NET versions where different, it should still generate the same numbers with the same seed on different devices?
I've tried installing it, but my numbers are still different, do I need to add/change something to my code to use this package instead of the default System.Random?

[stray pivot]

umm i dont have much expirience with seeds but even if you give it a specific seed shouldnt the number be random and be different

[wide stag]

Its a class. I cant check true or false

[stray pivot]

wait:
if (isEquiped.isequipied){}

try taht

[stray pivot]

dude

i think you misspeled

the error is obvious

the name should be the same as this variable name: [SerializeField] private IsEquipied isEquipied;

[stray pivot]

use visual studio or jetbrainds rider for intelli suggestions

[wide stag]

Second

[north kiln]

Their IDE is fine

[north kiln]

You're confusing yourself by having a class, a variable of it, and a variable in it with all almost identical (and mispelled) names

[stray pivot]

absloutly correct

[north kiln]

It would be less confusing if your IsEquipped class had a boolean called State or something, instead of having IsEquipped.IsEquipped, which is just confusing

[wide stag]

I dont create any class with these name( I create only variable

[stray pivot]

just give me the code of both scripts i will give a refined version of it

make sure to rename the script file to this name "ItemEquipmentStatus"

btw generated by ai

Hey guys, quick question, I'm trying to change a button's text
Both player1text are [serializedfield]

public class RoomWaitingListener : MonoBehaviour {

[SerializeField] private TMP_Text player1text;
[SerializeField] private TMP_Text player2text;


void Start()
    {
        // Some things
        player1text.text = "En Aattente"; // Variation of text to check if it has changed
        player2text.text = "En Aattente";
        // Some things
    }

} 

But this script just does not change the text. They are still at the default text. Is there any other way to change a button's text or am i missing something

(The listener is in Canvas)

[stray pivot]

check in the play mode

[main zealot]

it has default text :/

[stray pivot]

in playmode?

[main zealot]

yep

[stray pivot]

wait

try putting the code in the update method to check if its being changed by other script

[main zealot]

oh okay it's changed

[stray pivot]

good

If I wanted to make a variant of a wall, instead of MonoBehavior I'd type Wall?

and then override to change a function or property, right?

[main anchor]

anybody know whats causing my jumping mechanic to act like this?

here is my player movement script if you wanted to take a look: https://hastebin.com/share/beyoyevipo.csharp

[magic panther]

I'd like the crate to override wall's start property. Can I do that?

[deft grail]

you need override and virtual
1 on 1 and the other on the other

[willow scroll]

^ & the parent method should have virtual and all the derived methods override

And don't forget to change the access modifier to either protected or public and call the base.Start() if required

Question, I have defined a class that I use for an array:

public arrayofthings[] Enemies;
private string posstring;

[System.Serializable]
public class arrayofthings
{
    public GameObject Enemies;
    public string startposx;
    public string endposx;
    public string startposy;
    public string endposy;
}

But how do I go about using a value in said array? normally its something like Enemies[0][1] To get the startposx of the first entry.

[deft grail]

Enemies[someNumber].startposx

Hi, I've a character object who has shoot/fire animation, can someone tell me steps to implement a function where when shoot/fire animation is played, fire bullet from the hand position?

I tried adding an empty object (fire position) attached to the hand's position but when the character moves, the empty object's position is set to where I set instead of moving along with the hand, how to implement such function

[gaunt ice]

this is not how you call a method

[fossil tree]

and how is it so :(

oh wait ik

ok its mb im just dumb xd

[ionic plank]

Do someone know how to remove this yellow rectangle ?

[teal viper]

One of the simulator settings I think. Something about showing the safe area.

[fossil tree]

one more question how can i debug my circle cast for see my raycast ?

[ionic plank]

thank you !

[topaz mortar]

you probably just have to drag the new object onto the hand in your hierarchy, so it's a child of the hand

[willow scroll]

Probably, by drawing a circle using the Gizmos.DrawSphere method

[fossil tree]

thanks !

[willow scroll]

Use the OnDrawGizmos method with a boolean, which tells you whether to draw a circle

[fossil tree]

that work ty

[bold nova]

I try to programmatically generate a graph by constructing edges based on raycast. Basically I get an array of game objects, raycast from each game object to each game object, if there is nothing between them, agents can pass there and I create an edge. Problem is, for some reason, code never enters raycast if-statement even when it should, as if raycast never reaches other waypoint object. Draw ray confirms it, as directions seem random. But i see no mistakes calculating directions

    public void ConstructEdges(List<GameObject> nodeList)
    {

        nodes = new List<Node>();
        foreach(GameObject gameObject in nodeList)
        {
            Node node = new Node(gameObject);
            nodes.Add(node);
        }

        edges = new List<Edge>();
        foreach(Node node in nodes)
        {
            foreach(Node node2 in nodes)
            {
                if(node != node2)
                {
                    Vector3 direction = (node2.position - node.position).normalized;
                    Debug.DrawLine(node.position, direction * 10f, Color.red, 10f);
                    if (Physics.Raycast(node.position + direction, direction, out RaycastHit hit, 20f))
                    {
                        if (node.position == node2.position)
                        {
                            Edge edge = new Edge(node, node2);
                            edges.Add(edge);
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }

[frosty hound]

Why are you checking if the node and node2 position match at the very end before adding an edge?

[twilit cliff]

That's what I did, attached it as a child object of the hand but when the character moves, evn though it's a child object, it's in the same position, not moving along with the character hand movement

[manic geyser]

Why does this not set the tag? I'm doing it just like the documentation, does the fact that I create an empty gameobject have something to do with it?

[frosty hound]

Do you have a tag called Chunk to begin with?

[manic geyser]

Yes

I tried it with other tags I have too, did not set it to them either

[willow scroll]

Are you sure the tag is not reset after that?

[bold nova]

forgot to delete, i wanted to make sure its not the same waypoiny

[bold nova]

but it never reaches that statement anyway

[manic geyser]

sorry, i found the error, it was just something in my script that i missed

[gaunt ice]

if (node.position == node2.position){
    Edge edge = new Edge(node, node2);
    edges.Add(edge);
}

[manic geyser]

appreciate the help anyway^^

[bold nova]

Problem is surely in direction calculations, thats what i get after debug drawrays

in my test scene

[gaunt ice]

if (node.position == node2.position){<---your condition
  //your code
}

[bold nova]

I don't understand, should I clamp my whole code around this or get rid of that? In any case raycast returns false for some reason

and this condition is never checked

[gaunt ice]

you add a new edge when the positions of two vertices are the same

[wintry quarry]

It's pretty clear you're trying to start a Coroutine on a prefab

You can't do that

Only on active objects in the scene

[fossil tree]

why ?

[languid spire]

At a guess you are trying to start the coroutine on the prefab not the clone of it

[fossil tree]

how can i start my coroutine on the clone?

[wintry quarry]

Because a prefab is just an asset it's not active in the world

[wintry quarry]

Call start coroutine on the clone

[fossil tree]

but how i call it on the clone x)

[wintry quarry]

With a reference to the clone

[languid spire]

by referenceing the clone not the prefab that created it

[wintry quarry]

Like you do for anything else

Instantiate returns the reference of course

[fossil tree]

but how i can refear a clone programatically

[wintry quarry]

Just save it in a variable

You're overthinking it

[fossil tree]

but for save it i need to get it my question is how get it xd

[wintry quarry]

var clone = Instantiate(prefab);

I just told you Instantiate returns it

It would be insane if it didn't

[fossil tree]

so if i make that clone = all my clone ? or only the last i instanciate

[wintry quarry]

What?

[fossil tree]

i want all my clone start the coroutine

[wintry quarry]

So call it every time you create one.

Or put them all in a list

And call it on each one

[fossil tree]

how i use my list with the coroutine ?

like how i say to my coroutine to start for all the gameobject of my list

[wintry quarry]

Maybe you should study the basics of how to use lists

You just loop through the list

Start the Coroutine on each

[fossil tree]

i know that but how i say to my coroutine start for the 1st object of my list

like how i start a coroutine in another object

[wintry quarry]

you call StartCoroutine on it of course

[fossil tree]

but how

if i make StartCoroutine(mycoroutine()); that gonna start in my current object my question is how i can say start on a other object

sry if i explain bad my english are not really good xd

[languid spire]

2 options

otherObject.StartCoroutine(mycoroutine());
or
StartCoroutine(otherObject.mycoroutine());

depends on where you want the coroutine to run

[fossil tree]

ok i think i have understand tysm everyone

i make something like that

        {
            objet.StartCoroutine(check());
        }```
but he say me ```'GameObject' does not contain a definition for 'StartCoroutine' and no accessible extension method 'StartCoroutine' accepting a first argument of type 'GameObject' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)CS1061```

I have a very weird problem with the knockback. It works in all directions, except down. No matter what, the player will not get pushed downwards. However, when the player knocks back the enemy, with the same code, it works in all direction. Can someone help me figure this out? I spent days to no avail. I will build a statue for you if you help me lmao

[teal viper]

What exactly supposed to happen when you get knocked downwards? Is the character supposed to go below the ground or something?

Maybe record a video of it working on the enemy and not working on the player

[queen adder]

Okay, I will record now

[queen adder]

He just does not want to get pushed downwards. I checked the colliders, the rigidbodies, of the slime and the player, and they have the same values. I also commented all code for the player controller Update function, and the same thing happens

[teal viper]

Can you debug the direction of the force when it's supposed to be pushed down?

[iron blaze]

A noob question but how do I insert rows into this?

public arrayofpos[] ListOfPos;

[queen adder]

In the first 2, he correctly got pushed upwards, and in the last one, he got pushed upwards even if he was supposed to go downwards

[gaunt ice]

make a new array, copy the old array to new array
or use list instead of array

and https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Vector2Int.html

[teal viper]

Okay. Can you add a Debug.Break() there and reproduce the issue? This should pause the game. Then go to the scene view and take a screenshot of both the enemy and the character transform gizmos.

[lost anvil]

super weird ass bug where if i escape chase and then go back into it the stinger doesnt play, i have a debug.log when the stinger should play and it just doesnt.

main AI - (look towards the chase state) - https://gdl.space/nuweqoyeva.cs
chaseeffecthandler - https://gdl.space/rejokurigu.cpp

kinda loud

[iron blaze]

how do I copy the array with the new "row"?

[gaunt ice]

so you should use list https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.collections.generic.list-1?view=net-8.0

[queen adder]

This is the player's transform

And this is the enemy's

[teal viper]

I need to see the gizmo in the scene.

but if these are corresponding to world positions, then it looks like the enemy is below the player, so it makes sense that it would push it up.

[queen adder]

You mean these?

[teal viper]

Yes.

Except that I need to know what they belong to. Maybe take a screenshot of the whole editor window with these selected.

[queen adder]

Should I do the debug.break() after the force is applied?

[teal viper]

Yeah, so the enemy is just below your player. So of course it would push it up

[teal viper]

This is fine.

[queen adder]

How would I go about fixing this?

[teal viper]

Well, start from figuring out why it ends up below your player

Probably something about the logic of it following/attacking the player. Specifically moving towards it.

[queen adder]

Interesting, I removed the enemy's movement function, and even if it stands still and i walk into it, it still only pushes the player upwards

[stoic glen]

Why do you need a rigidbody, when you want to use a Trigger. Even if the object shouldn't have physics

[lost anvil]

bump

[teal viper]

Well, your player transform is for some reason at the top of the sprite + collider, so it would make sense that your player is above the enemy regardless of what side you collide with it.

Perhaps centering the collider on the transform both for the player and the enemy would fix the issue

[queen adder]

Great, I'm on to something. I made the slime's collider way bigger than it was and it seems to have fixed the issue

[final totem]

does anyone know why its not moving left/ right?

Thanks for the help. This is my first project ever and I learned a lot from you

[paper hamlet]

hello im having an issue on my project where i generate a random map and i want to generate coins in my map s room , i only have one issue the coins are being generated but the sprites are Missing for some reason even though the coin prefab i defined for my script has a sprite set up in its sprite renderer

heres the function im using:

   private void GenerateCoinsInRooms(List<BoundsInt> roomlist)
{
    foreach (var room in roomlist)
    {
        // Check if the room is neither the player's room nor the boss's room
        if (!room.Equals(FirstRoom) && !room.Equals(BossRoom))
        {
            int numberOfCoins = Random.Range(1, 6); // Adjust as per your preference
            for (int i = 0; i < numberOfCoins; i++)
            {
                UnityEngine.Vector2 randomPosition = new UnityEngine.Vector2(
                    Random.Range(room.min.x, room.max.x),
                    Random.Range(room.min.y, room.max.y)
                );
                
                GameObject coinInstance = Instantiate(coinPrefab, randomPosition, UnityEngine.Quaternion.identity);
                
                // Get the SpriteRenderer component from the instantiated coin
                SpriteRenderer coinRenderer = coinInstance.GetComponent<SpriteRenderer>();
                
                // Get the sprite from the prefab and set it to the instantiated coin
                coinRenderer.sprite = coinPrefab.GetComponent<SpriteRenderer>().sprite;
            }
        }
    }
}

 

[slender nymph]

coinRenderer.sprite = coinPrefab.GetComponent<SpriteRenderer>().sprite;
what is the point of doing this? if the sprite is assigned to the prefab you do not need to try and reassign it to the instantiated object

[gaunt ice]

gpt code

[paper hamlet]

yeah i tried a bit with gpt because i got stuck with this for like hours

was getting desperate lol

[slender nymph]

it is against server rules to seek help with and not disclose AI generated code

[paper hamlet]

oh didnt know sorry

i only went for gpt because i had no clue why the sprites were showing Missing

and its a school project and the deadline is very close lol

[slender nymph]

that sucks. good luck figuring it out though, i don't help with ai generated bullshit

[paper hamlet]

thanks

what would u suggest if u ran out into an error like that btw

[slender nymph]

i would suggest learning wtf you are doing instead of relying on spam generation tools

[paper hamlet]

because the objects are being generated without a problem

just the sprites being missing is the issue

[paper hamlet]

this is the first time im dealing with random generation using unity

so im kinda lost atm

i worked out on simple projects before but its just getting complicated

[slender nymph]

i was referring to your use of gpt generated code, not your random generation in unity. i have also already told you i will not be helping as a result of your use of AI generation. figure it out on your own

[grizzled zealot]

Does anyone know a library like navbehavior for impulse-driven enemies (e.g., ships, aircraft, spacecraft)?

Guys im looking '' Learn Unity '' website and im so confused. it gives course, projects, essential path way, tutorial etc. I dont know which one should i start with can u help me

[gaunt thistle]

change default state in the animator via a script?

[summer stump]

Essentials, and the junior programmer

[slender nymph]

start with the pathways. the unity essentials pathway is typically the starting piont then the junior programmer pathway. then you can start learning whatever you want

[kindred iron]

after junior way should i do with tutorials at " Learn Unity " website

[gaunt thistle]

although old it seems to hold up fine, use brackeys's runner game tutorial if you're looking to get into unity. thats what i did.

[slender nymph]

you should try rephrasing that so that it makes sense

[summer stump]

Junior programmer is in learn unity
So I don't know what you are asking

[kindred iron]

my learn dashboard, course, project etc.

[summer stump]

start with the pathways. the unity essentials pathway is typically the starting piont then the junior programmer pathway. then you can start learning whatever you want

[paper hamlet]

i think i found the solution for my issue i need to call my SpriteRenderer on the main like the other objects

what are these?

its a micro game

do i need to do all of these?

i would learn a lot of things without even starting to essential path

[summer stump]

start with the pathways. the unity essentials pathway is typically the starting piont then the junior programmer pathway. then you can start learning whatever you want

I mean, this says it all

Do the two pathways, then do whatever you want

[kindred iron]

it says " I am new to Unity, and I haven’t completed a Microgame (by the way, what is a Microgame?):
→ Go to Step 4 Consider a Microgame "

[summer stump]

That is all

[summer stump]

So what?

[kindred iron]

in pathway

[summer stump]

A microgame is a small game

[kindred iron]

it says that

[summer stump]

So what?

Doesn't matter. Ignore it

[kindred iron]

so do i need to make a micro game

also what is this mean "New Mods on The Block"

[willow scroll]

It means that there are new mods

[kindred iron]

"Read through each step of this tutorial to be sure you've completed it. You may have already installed the Hub, but it's also important to install the latest LTS version of Unity Editor and the WebGL module.
Note: Microgames are available from Unity Hub with Unity Editor 2021 LTS and earlier. For later versions of Unity, you can download microgames from the Unity Asset Store."

what does mean LTS

do i have to use lts for doing essential pathway

[deft grail]

LongTermSupport

[kindred iron]

what is that

[deft grail]

it will say like 2022.something.something LTS

on Unity version

[willow scroll]

The support, which has a long term

[kindred iron]

is it free or?

[willow scroll]

Yes

[deft grail]

Unity is free

[willow scroll]

You can install the latest LTS version for free

[kindred iron]

what is a long term sup

[willow scroll]

The support, which has a long term. See [this](#💻┃code-beginner message) for further explanations

[deft grail]

a Unity version which will have support for long term...

its in the name

[slender nymph]

you know you can type out full words right, you aren't paying by the character

[kindred iron]

how can i unterstand i have that?

[deft grail]

go to unity hub

click "installs"

[willow scroll]

Install it

[deft grail]

click "install editor"

find one that says LTS, the one that doesnt say that isnt LTS simple

[kindred iron]

i have 2023 unity how can i look does it have LTS?

[deft grail]

it doesnt

because 2022 is the latest with LTS

[kindred iron]

what support, support of what?

[willow scroll]

Unity support

[kindred iron]

do i have to download it for essential path way

[deft grail]

shows LTS next to the name

[deft grail]

probably not

[kindred iron]

I've seen it

[kindred iron]

what does make unity support

[willow scroll]

What is it supposed to mean?

[deft grail]

it means Unity updates it for the next couple years

[kindred iron]

support what? like for example money or something else it can be a lot of things

that why i've asked u

[summer stump]

You know you can google all this, right?

[kindred iron]

ok ty

[summer stump]

Support as in bug fixes and other updates

[kindred iron]

i didnt unterstand these on google

[willow scroll]

Unity 2022 LTS provides a stable foundation for projects that are in production or about to ship.

[lost anvil]

bump

what bro

[dense mica]

Hey folks. I'm adding custom cursors to my Unity 2D 2022 LTS game, and am finding that SetCursor's hotspot field doesn't seem to be taking effect. I'm calling SetCursor in update() and passing in a Vector2 from a field on an object in the editor, which allows me to adjust it on the fly. I can set it to -100, -100 and observe no difference at all. Am I perhaps missing something obvious here?

[slender nymph]

the hotspot is the offset from the top left of the cursor texture and is in pixels

it also must be within the bounds of the cursor's texture

someone also pointed out that the cursor's size on windows is capped to the system cursor size, so i'm not sure if that is relevant
https://github.com/Developer-Notes-Extension/Unity-Notes/discussions/554#discussioncomment-9179133

[dense mica]

Yeah I've tried everything from -1, -1 to -100, -100 and neither is having an effect. I can change the cursor appearance just fine, but each one will have its own hotspot.

[slender nymph]

why are you trying negative numbers

[dense mica]

If 0,0 is the top left, I want to bring the hotspot down to the bottom right ish. So that would be negative correct?

[slender nymph]

no

[dense mica]

Some of the hotspots need to move in either direction.

In some cases the hotspot is too far to the top left, in other cases its too far to the bottom right. So I'll need negatives in some cases to make them where they need to be.

Yeah, positive values aren't affecting it either.

I am in CursorMode.Auto if it matters.

thanks for the link, let me try one of the things it suggests there...

Nah, thought maybe I needed to make them Sprite type Cursor.

[slender nymph]

i mean, your textures should be set to Cursor when using them as a cursor texture

[dense mica]

Yes, I just made that change and it didn't affect anything observably.

That isn't a step most of these video tutorials mention 😛

I bet it has something to do with the resizing the system is doing.

[slender nymph]

this is a code channel

[fossil gulch]

hey guys, I need some help with my code...
https://gyazo.com/b6bcbcd855d14fd1dddd03eabcd4e9db
As you can see, the Idle and Run animations are both working just fine. but when I try to jump, while standing still or running, the animation states appear to be bugging out!
https://gdl.space/rurujafahi.cs
This is my code, I have no idea why it's happening...

[slender nymph]

start by checking your transition settings

[fossil gulch]

You can see that the animation progress bar is moving on all 3 of them consecutively (if that's a word?) when jumping

[fossil gulch]

I have, they appear fine to me.

[slender nymph]

oh of course, if they appear fine to you then there definitely isn't any issue with them. how could i be so silly

[hallow sun]

i think you may have set it up so it only detects jumping if falling

[fossil gulch]

I didn't mean it like that.

Just meant that I don't see any problems with it, doesn't mean that there are no problems

but it's set up the same exact way as the Idle -> Run And that works fine, but then just with the Jump param.

[fossil gulch]

wdym?

[slender nymph]

show them

[hallow sun]

show us the part that sets the value of jump

[slender nymph]

they are incorrect in that assessment. although you aren't using a layermask for your raycast so it is possible for it to think you are grounded when you are not depending on what should be detected as ground

[fossil gulch]

I checked that, but I'm unable to jump in mid-air (so I'm not grounded), and isGrounded is returning as False while jumping, so that's not it either

[slender nymph]

also another thing, why are you using floats as booleans? you do know that you can have boolean parameters, right?

[hallow sun]

the jump variable glitches for some reason, show us the code that sets it please

[fossil gulch]

Yes, but I intend to have them fade/cross into each other in future, so I assumed this'd be the smartest way

that'd be just these lines

    void Update()
    {
        RaycastHit2D hit = Physics2D.Raycast(groundCheck.transform.position, Vector2.down, 0.1f);
        isGrounded = hit.collider != null;

        // Jump param based on whether player is grounded or not
        anim.SetFloat("Jump", isGrounded ? 0f : 1f);

[fossil gulch]

. ^

forgot to reply

[oblique herald]

sorry to bother, but I want to know if there would be an optimal way to use startCorountine with Update()? I dont really know other way to wait for seconds
heres the code:

    void Update() {
        if (pickUpAllowed && Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.E)) {
            PickUp();
        }
        StopAllCoroutines();
        if (showPickedUp)
        {
            StartCoroutine(PickedUp());
        }
    }
    private void PickUp() {
        inventoryManager.AddItem(itemName, sprite, itemDesc);
        Destroy(gameObject);
        showPickedUp = true;
    }

    IEnumerator PickedUp() {
        pickedUpText.gameObject.SetActive(true);
        yield return new WaitForSeconds(2f);
        pickedUpText.gameObject.SetActive(false);
        showPickedUp = false;
    }
}

[languid spire]

Do you have any idea whatsoever what your code is actually doing?

[dense mica]

Ok so I think I figured it out. Mode AUTO resizes my cursors to 32px, but breaks the hotspot. With mode ForceSoftware the cursors are large, but hotspot works. So now I'll make a collection of 32px, 64px, 128px and 256px cursors (to support scalable UI) and just manage it all myself.

[zealous storm]

Hi Guys, I'm making simple game and I want to introduce a few animations. Camera is in 1st person so I don't animate the player, but I want to do so when interacting with certain object. Can i somehow pass an animation clip and play it once by code? Something like this public void PlayAnimation(AnimationClip anim) { animator.Play(anim.ToString()); } I want to store animation clips in different objects that player can interact with, not in animator tree

[glad rune]

i set the skin to 1 in a script already. how would i read the json file in another script and check if the number for skin is 1?

[sudden glacier]

How can i make a 2d plattformer endless runner with tilemaps? Any tuts?

[wintry quarry]

you wouldn't read the json file in another script

you would deserialize the json to an instance of this class

then just pass a reference to your instance of this class to the other script

[sudden glacier]

I want to generate set levels procedural

like Obstacle 1 - Obstacle 45 - Obstacle 24 - Obstacle 32 and the obstacles are made by tiles

The purpose of this script is every time a new object is added then it completes all the other missing objects (because every time a new object is added all the others are deleted).
But it's not working...

https://gdl.space/ulijavemub.cs

[wintry quarry]

What does "not working" mean?
Also not sure I understand your description of what it's meant to do

What are you expecting it to do and what is happening instead?

[rich egret]

Ok, it just doesn't return the missing objects.

I will try to explain better, there is some list, it contains objects, but when I add an object to the list all the other objects in the list disappear for some reason.
So... I made a function to return the missing objects but it doesn't return them.

[wintry quarry]

return them from where

to where

Seems to me like the first thing you're doing when you add an item is this:

inventoryState.Clear();```

doesn't that delete everything?

[rich egret]

wait, what? I did not notice it
I feel so dumb right now, this is a script from the internet

tysm bro

[wintry quarry]

it's really unclear what this script is supposed to be doing to me

[rich egret]

Its system is complicated, it's just a small part of Equip's system

[glad rune]

what do you mean by deserealizing

[wintry quarry]

converting from the JSON text into that object

e.g. with JsonUtility.FromJson<SkinInf>(jsonText)

[rich egret]

@wintry quarry Turns out that wasn't the problem

[wintry quarry]

Well you didn't even tell me which list you're worried about or anything

so I'm really working on very little information here

[rich egret]

There is a list with names in PlayerPrefs, at the beginning of the game it should search for all these names in folders and simply add the objects with the same name

[rich egret]

It is complicated to explain the system

[rich egret]

But when I add a new object to the list, everything else disappears for some reason...

[wintry quarry]

you'll have to start debugging the code

add logs in places where you expect all the items to be there, such as before saving, and make sure they're all there, etc.

[polar acorn]

What is "The List" and where do you add to it. There's several things that could be considered "The list" here

is it possible to merge 2 c# scripts into one .cs file
i try to find a youtube tutorial for it

but i only found "how to connect 2 c# scripts to a game object"
which i don't need that

[summer stump]

Why would you want to do that?

but yeah, just copy the text from one file into the other..

[languid spire]

yes as long as only one of them is a Monobehaviour

[summer stump]

generally you want to SPLIT them up, not combine them

[fervent quartz]

@summer stump
cause i need it
for example i don't want to have separate mesh handlers,markers,highlighters in separate scripts
that's to messy if you ask me
im a person who like's simple and clean stuff

[wintry quarry]

Merge them for what purpose?

[languid spire]

And what makes you think having multiple classes in one .cs file is either simple or clean?

[fervent quartz]

@wintry quarry
simplicity

[summer stump]

Having one massive file is waaaay messier than having separate clean files
So gross lol

There is a reason separate files is the standard. And it is for simplicity and clean organization

But either way. The answer is ctrl-a, ctrl-c, ctrl-v

[fervent quartz]

@wintry quarry
so if i want to merge them
do i need to press 2x ENTER to make separation between two scripts
or do i just need to continneu to add second script to a new line?

@languid spire
i don't need many .cs files scattered in my project
i want to pack them into one nice .cs file

[languid spire]

whitespace is not relevant in C#

[willow scroll]

• 1. Why do you want to merge the scripts?
• 2. You won't be able to merge them perfectly, as some errors with the names might occur
• 3. If those both of those scripts contain Behaviors, you won't be able to merge them

[coarse temple]

idk if this is the correct place for this, but anyone knows why it only plays once after pressing the button? i press the button again and it doesnt do anything :0

[languid spire]

good luck debugging that

[willow scroll]

Because you have something wrong in your code.

[summer stump]

What IDE are you using?

[fervent quartz]

@willow scroll
ok i understand and thank you

[coarse temple]

thats the funny thing! i added the animation just by dragging the game object and selecting the appropiate settings, idk if thats good lol

Are very sparse, but very large nav meshes a performance concern? Space game and the nav mesh is of size 5000 x 5000

Ok, well then the solution explorer should make it easy to move between files. Far easier than having to scroll up and down some massive 1k - 10k line file

[fervent quartz]

ok thanks

[lost anvil]

are scriptable objects really super required for inventories? every tutorial i see uses them

[willow scroll]

They're really convenient for this, so yes, why not use it?

[grizzled zealot]

I like them, beause in contrast to CSVs and DB-based approaches, you can also add links to other GOs, such as prefabs.

[willow scroll]

It's not "essential" though

[lost anvil]

i might aswell because every tutorial uses them and i have no idea how the fuck to make an inventory without a tutorial lmao

[summer stump]

List<Item> inventory

public class Item {
GameObject prefab;
}

[willow scroll]

I mean, you may use struct, classes or prefabs instead of them. But it is usually much less convenient

    }

in my instances list i stock all my gameobject i instanciate and after that i try to make a coroutine for all single one

[wintry quarry]

the spacing doesn't matter at all. You can only have one MonoBehaviour or ScriptableObject class in your file. Otherwise you can put as many classes as you want

[wintry quarry]

which line is line 20

[fossil tree]

this one ``` foreach(GameObject objet in build.instances)

[wintry quarry]

then either build is null or build.instances is null

find out which one and fix it

[fossil tree]

build is a script and build instances is a list of all gameobject i instanciate

[wintry quarry]

Doesn't matter what they are

they are references

and they aren't assigned.

[fossil tree]

a script cannot be null yes ?

[wintry quarry]

references can be null

build and build.instances are both references

a script cannot be null yes ?
This is essentially meaningless in C#

[fossil tree]

that here i build the instances list

using System.Collections.Generic;
using Unity.VisualScripting;
using UnityEngine;

public class Build : MonoBehaviour
{
    public GameObject prefab;
    public List<GameObject> instances = new List<GameObject>();
    // Start is called before the first frame update
    void Start()
    {
        for (var a = -50; a < 50; a++) 
        {
          for (var i = -50; i < 50; i++)
            {
                GameObject clone = Instantiate(prefab, new Vector3(i , a, 0), Quaternion.identity);
                instances.Add(clone);
            }
        }
    }

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

[wintry quarry]

build itself is null

where do you assign the build reference

[fossil tree]

i make an instance of build

in my second script

[wintry quarry]

I'm not just going to take your word for it

show the code

celluleManager has a reference called build

show where that reference is assigned

[fossil tree]

here public Build build;

[wintry quarry]

that's not an assignment

you are simply declaring the variable

You would have to either assign it in the inspector or in your code

Please show where you did that

[fossil tree]

yes i put it in inspector

[wintry quarry]

Apparently not in the inspector for this particular instance where the code is running

[wintry quarry]

or your code is unassigning it

[wintry quarry]

show how you set up the button

[fossil tree]

this one ?

[wintry quarry]

You have like hundreds of them

are they all assigned properly?

[fossil tree]

this is my script for create them

[wintry quarry]

That's very confusing

the script that creates them cretes more of the script that creates them>?

[wintry quarry]

clearly the new instances don't have the build reference assigned properly here

[fossil tree]

and how can i assigned it ?

[wintry quarry]

in your code

Using =

[fossil tree]

that dont really help me

[summer stump]

How does it not help you?

[fossil tree]

like how i use =

[summer stump]

build = [thing you are assigning]
Hard to say without seeing the code

[grizzled zealot]

What is the preferred method for managing color themes of the game?

1. Create a palette and then manually choose from it through "Color" in the SpriteRenderer
2. Create a Singleton and then color objects by adjusting "Color" after looking up the singleton?
3. Use materials and assign the color to the materials
4. Any other method?

[fossil tree]

but build is my script so i dont really understand why and what i need to assign to it and my code are above

[summer stump]

A reference TO the instance of build

a script is just a file until you create an instance of it. And your code needs to know specifically which instance of build you are using

Where is build? What gameobject is it attached to?

[fossil tree]

build is a script attached to my "build game" game object (an empty gameobject) and i want use it in my second script celluleManager

[summer stump]

Ok, so you need to tell your code that

Best way would be for the thing instantiating all those "cellule prefab" objects to have a reference to build, and pass it in after instantiating them

Because as of now, build is pointing at nothing.

[ripe tartan]

does anybody know why the animation aint playing

[summer stump]

#🏃┃animation

and try an .mp4

so it embeds propertly

[ripe tartan]

oh sry

ok

[fossil tree]

and how i make that so ?

[summer stump]

I mean, I feel like I explained it pretty clearly. Which part do you need help with?

public class Build
{
  public Cellule cellulePrefab;
  
  public void SpawnMethod() 
  {
    Cellule newCellule = Instantiate(cellulePrefab);

Really simplified example

[fossil tree]

So i need to make an instance of build in the build class ?

[summer stump]

No

the build class can get its own reference by writing this

if you are spawning from the build class then just pass in this

Updated the code to show that

I think i have understand i gonna try to make that tomorow else my brain gonna die tysm for your patience

do NOT cross post

[stable spindle]

What’s that?

[summer stump]

That isn't how this server works. We can help you make one, but not give you one

then read #📖┃code-of-conduct

[acoustic arch]

what size of a script is too big? and i should try condensing

[stable spindle]

Ok

[languid spire]

one that you cannot remember what it does and how it works

[summer stump]

If it does more than one distinct thing, consider splitting it

[grizzled zealot]

When I use URP and create a material, can I still use the standard shader for the material, or do I have to select from URP?

[bronze zenith]

i really need help because idk what this error means and it keeps happening

[unique slate]

did your Unity fill in some unncessecary "using" directive? - check the top of your script

[languid spire]

yes, you do

[bronze zenith]

this is the part on the top you cant see

[languid spire]

so what part dont you understand?

[unique slate]

yeah, "using UnityEngine.Windows" clashes with "using UnityEngine"

[bronze zenith]

i have no clue how to fix this error

[hallow girder]

if u make the "Input.GetButtonUp()" "UnityEngine.Input.GetButtonUp()" it'll work, it's becasue both of the dirrectives have input functions

[bronze zenith]

so do i just delete it

[languid spire]

why do you have 'using UnityEngine.Windows' ?

[bronze zenith]

i have no idea it was there already

[unique slate]

if that doesnt fuck up something else - yes

[bronze zenith]

oh yea it fixed everything

[bronze zenith]

thank you :)

how can i fix this edge problem? if the player lands right on the corner, it will be caught by the green capsule collider, but the white overlapsphere doesnt catch the floor, so it things its still in the air.

[rich egret]

This script should put objects from folders by list in PlayerPrefs
But when the list is updated, all the "old" objects are deleted for some reason...

https://gdl.space/asanosijem.cs

Does anyone know why this is happening?

[willow scroll]

Why not use OnCollisionEnter?

[stuck palm]

i fixed it its fine

[willow scroll]

The list? Are you referring to HashSet?

And the LoadItems method is where is gets updated, right?

You're using new(), so yeah, old items are gonna be removed

[rich egret]

tysm

so how to solve it?

[stark gyro]

public void Spawn()
{
    int rockCount = 0;
    int paperCount = 0;
    int scissorsCount = 0;

    Vector2 spawnPosition = new Vector2(spawnPositionX, spawnPositionY);

        for (int i = 0; i < _gameManager.objectAmount; i++)
        {
            if(rockCount < _gameManager.objectAmount - 1)
            {
                Instantiate(rockPrefab, GetRandomSpawnPos(), Quaternion.identity);
                rockCount++;
            }
            if (paperCount < _gameManager.objectAmount - 1)
            {
                Instantiate(paperPrefab, GetRandomSpawnPos(), Quaternion.identity);
                paperCount++;
            }
            if (scissorsCount < _gameManager.objectAmount - 1)
            {
                Instantiate(scissorsPrefab, GetRandomSpawnPos(), Quaternion.identity);
                scissorsCount++;
            }
        }
    // Random x pos range = -1,14.5
    // Random y pos range = -5.57, 2.42
    // include all of them.
}```
I'm trying to spawn objects and the amount is read from slider.
It works fine when the amount is low like 5 objects for each so 3x5 = 15 objects in total.
When the input amount is 10, it's supposed to spawn 30 in total but It spawns 32 sometimes..?
And it's even worse when amount is 20+. Unity crashes and amount of object looks like this:
rock : 350
paper : 128
scissors : 642 (It's never the same everytime, just an example)

Why is this happening? I even added a counter for it but it didn't do it...

[willow scroll]

Don't create a new HashSet. Add the new items to it instead

[willow scroll]

How does it even spawn the paper and scissors 🤔

Do you, perhaps, call the Spawn method more than once?

Or is the objectAmount updated in the GetRandomSpawnPos method?

[stark gyro]

Nope :/

[languid spire]

objectAmount is probably a float so you need to convert it to an int

[stark gyro]

It's not updated

[willow scroll]

But it shouldn't cause it

[unique slate]

Im checking if my item is hovering over enough inventory slots to be placed where the player is trying to place it.
I do that via OnTrigger- Enter and Exit. But when i move the mouse too fast from one slot to another they sometimes wont trigger at all.
It should look like this until placed: https://i.imgur.com/S4guwui.png
But when it bugs out it looks like this and those slots are still thinking im hovering over them https://i.imgur.com/EEelLfM.png
Is my approach inherently flawed? Cause i cant find a fix via Google.
This is basically all the code

    public void OnTriggerEnter2D(Collider2D col)
    {
        if (col.transform.GetComponent<Slot>() == null) {return;}
        
        imHoveringOver = col.transform.GetComponent<Slot>();
        SetHoverColor(imHoveringOver);
    }

    public void OnTriggerExit2D(Collider2D col)
    {
        if (col.GetComponent<Slot>() != null)
        {
            ResetColor(imHoveringOver);
        }
        imHoveringOver = null;
    }

[rich egret]

Like this?

    {
        string savedItems = PlayerPrefs.GetString(playerPrefsKey);
        if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(savedItems))
        {
            string[] loadedItemsArray = savedItems.Split(',');
            foreach (string loadedItem in loadedItemsArray)
            {
                if (!itemNames.Contains(loadedItem))
                {
                    itemNames.Add(loadedItem);
                }
            }
        }
        Debug.Log("Loaded " + itemNames.Count + " items.");
    }```

[willow scroll]

The code should be formatted as follows:

// your code goes here

[stark gyro]

It's an integer

[languid spire]

then there is something else going on, what you describe cannot be caused by the code shown

[unique slate]

how do i make those signs 💀 i have EU keyboard

[stark gyro]

Any other information/code you want me to provide?

[willow scroll]

You should find them somewhere. You may also copy it: `

[languid spire]

you could start by actually doing some debugging and show that

[unique slate]

thanks 😄 that works

[willow scroll]

Yeah, that's right

[rich egret]

The list is still being deleted 😅

[willow scroll]

Then this method is not the issue

[stark gyro]

Amount was set to 10

Rock starts 8

[languid spire]

I meant in the code

[willow scroll]

And it doesn't make any sense, as I have gone thru its mentions, but have seen neither it being reset, nor its items being removed

[rich egret]

I think there is a line that deletes the list, but not sure which

[willow scroll]

There's no in that script. Perhaps, you haven't saved it?

[rich egret]

Maybe it was caused by another script

[willow scroll]

This is what you should've mentioned before

[rich egret]

I saved it

[willow scroll]

And make sure you have saved the changes

Right

[rich egret]

i did it

[willow scroll]

So, are you going to share its calls now?

[rich egret]

@willow scroll Ahhh, I got it!
It is indeed a problem with another script, there is an inventory script, that as soon as I buy an item, it adds it to the list. But that's not the list of this script!

[willow scroll]

Your approach isn't wrong, and I would say, it's not what you'd usually use in your case. The issue is in you having 2 inventory slots, which hover with your knife.
When the knife enters the collider, the collider's Slot, assuming it exists, is assigned to the imHoveringOver. If you, however, collide with the 2nd Slot after that, the reference to the 1st Slots gets removed, which prevents you from resetting its color with the ResetColor method.

In order to fix this, you'll have to add the Slots to a List, instead of a single variable, in the OnTriggerEnter2D method, and remove the Slot in OnTriggerExit2D

_slots.Remove(col.GetComponent<Slot>());

Don't worry about the null check in this case, which, additionally, can be done without != null, as Unity Objects can be converted to null without it

if (!col.GetComponent<Slot>())
    return;

Removing the null will do nothing.

And, yes, single-line expressions don't require {} after the condition, { return } -> return in your case

[unique slate]

The colliders are not on the weapon, i made them separate so i can check for the exact slots when i want to to make non-rectangular weapons. Every slot has it's own collider

[willow scroll]

Right, so?

I already knew it

What made you think my answer wasn't based on this assumption?

[unique slate]

i think i misread

I thought about another check to remove the remainders, but all my testing showed this behaviour: https://i.imgur.com/5W0MS1w.gif

[bronze zenith]

ok so if i posted my entire code for crouching would people know why it isnt working

[willow scroll]

Have you read what I have written?

[unique slate]

it does not correctly assign the new slot on enter. the left slot doesnt turn green. thats either because OnTriggerEnter doesnt work or because it calls Enter and THEN Exit right after, removing the overwritten Slot "ImHoveringOver".

[willow scroll]

Simply add the slots to the list and remove them from it

[unique slate]

needed a minute to correctly get me thoughts down :S

[willow scroll]

And I have already described it [here](#💻┃code-beginner message)

[bronze zenith]

why wont it work when i press S to crouch

[unique slate]

like... i read that 4 times now. You only talk about fixing the slots that are green when they should be white. Those can be cleaned up as described by you. Yes.
But not assigning them correctly on enter is a separate problem. The lower middle slot is still white when i hover the sword on it. But it should be green. As it is when i do it slowly.

Or i dont comprehend you at all, that could be

[stuck palm]

if i make a list with 3 values in it, if i remove the middle value would that make the length 2 or would the middle value just be null?

[willow scroll]

Let's say to want to date a few girls simultaneously. Your memory saves just the girl you've last talked to. This way, if you first talk to Katie and Emma, then to Isabelle, you're going to forget about Katie and Emma you've previously talked to, and just remember Isabelle.
Instead, you want to save all these girls to your memory, by having a List of the girls you've talked to. This way, you're not going to forget any of them.

The same with the slots

[willow scroll]

The problem shouldn't appear if you add them to a list correctly

And OnTriggerEnter2D always works, assuming all your slots have 2d trigger colliders

The problem may be in your SetHoverColor method, which you haven't showed yet

[bronze zenith]

did i do something wrong ive been trying to figure this out the past hour

[unique slate]

nah, those are literally just SpriteRenderer.color = whatever color

[willow scroll]

Show it, please

[unique slate]

if this bricks it im crying https://i.imgur.com/pIJYdPj.png

[willow scroll]

That's alright

Could be a single method with the constants though

[unique slate]

yeah

[willow scroll]

Anyway, it resets to white because of the Exit method being called exactly after the Enter

[unique slate]

yes

[willow scroll]

So implement the solution with the list.

And it won't happen if you do it correctly

And it nothing else changes its color

[willow scroll]

(Well, it does, as ResetColor is called twice, yet, you've shown us just a single call)

[brazen cedar]

That didn't work

I still see the AritfactDB warning

Ughhh

[bronze zenith]

can somebody please help with this

[unique slate]

https://i.imgur.com/2lM09MF.png before using it here as well the slots stayed green after placing the item

errors now because i made it a list

in case u r wondering

[willow scroll]

I'm not

[willow scroll]

What is even that CharacterController2D

[bronze zenith]

ohh yea i should probably show the other script

[quick fractal]

Crouch isn't a recognised input i'd guess 👀
This is what I did for keys

[willow scroll]

Well, yeah

[bronze zenith]

i cant show the whole script in one screenshot its very big

[willow scroll]

What does "isn't a recognised input" mean? And this answer doesn't really help with the issue. Additionally, I guess you should configure your !ide

This may be too

And it would give an error

So blaze should check it out

[bronze zenith]

actually im just gonna send the screenshot with only the parts about crouching cause it makes sense to do that

[willow scroll]

It doesn't. Consider sending it in a text form

[bronze zenith]

how do i do that without absolutely filling the whole chat up tho?

[wintry quarry]

As a link to a paste site

[willow scroll]

Using the specific sites

[wintry quarry]

also consider making a thread

[willow scroll]

Have you even written this code, by the way?

[bronze zenith]

i wrote the small one

the very big one was from a youtube tutorial

[willow scroll]

Yeah, I've mentioned it

[bronze zenith]

this one

[willow scroll]

But there are no errors thrown?

[bronze zenith]

no errors, i just cannot crouch

at all

[willow scroll]

Is the crouch condition triggered?

[bronze zenith]

i dont have animations so i cant actually see but i should be able to tell if i slow down when pressing S or down arrow key

which i dont

[bronze zenith]

also what do i do when i put the code in the website?

[willow scroll]

Yes, you should see the difference if m_CrouchSpeed far enough from 1

[willow scroll]

You save it and send the link here

[ivory bobcat]

Have you tried placing some logs to see what's actually happening?

[bronze zenith]

ok wait

[willow scroll]

I've already seen the code thru the screenshot, just consider checking for the crouch condition being triggered and m_CrouchSpeed being far enough from 1

[bronze zenith]

oh ok

how do i know if its triggered

[willow scroll]

Also, I hope move is used somewhere

[bronze zenith]

if its that brown color?

[willow scroll]

What do you mean?

[willow scroll]

Triggered means that the condition is true

[unique slate]

Im not sure if i understand it completely, but clearly more than at the beginning. Thanks for your help, i struggle a bit with comprehending and implementing things that others describe. Either think of it myself or a full on step-by-step tutorial. Really shit way of learning things, i know. I cant place the items anymore because making it a list nuked all that but i can work that out after sleeping 😄 thanks again and sorry for being such a stubborn idiot https://i.imgur.com/KOxhH1s.gif

[bronze zenith]

also yes move is used

[willow scroll]

Is it how it's currently working?

Also, I wonder why lists cause you difficulties. Have you used them before?

[unique slate]

the gif shows the current state, yes

[willow scroll]

Are lists being used?

[unique slate]

yes

[willow scroll]

So why do you say it nuked all that?

Working fine now, no?

[unique slate]

making it a list makes all the old code not work for obvious reasons

the item placement stuff

that i didnt show

your stuff works great

[bronze zenith]

https://paste.ofcode.org/QDFN5P2diHc3yycEBna6SU

[unique slate]

just gotta make it work with the list tomorrow

[bronze zenith]

there is my code

like lal of it this time

[willow scroll]

Alright, you may share the placement stuff you have troubles with. I may help you out if I still got some time left

[nova swift]

Hello, I am having issue with ground detection in my 2d platformer fan game. Sonic, as we know, uncurls from his rolling state upon landing on ground. This works just fine in my game except for 1 case. When landing on the edge of a platform at relatively high speeds, the player doesn't uncurl. I'm pretty sure ground detection doesn't return true at all in this interaction as I've tried printing to the console if it returned true. The ground detection code in question is:

return Physics2D.OverlapBox(groundCheck.position, new Vector2(0.57f, 0.01f), 0, groundMask);

While the player is 0.6f units wide, and the ground detection overlap box is 0.57f, increasing the width of the ground detection somehow allows the player to be grounded when next to a wall in the air, and yes, groundCheck.position is centred on the player, and there is also no horizontal offset on the player's box collider hitbox. Increasing the height of the overlapbox from 0.01f to 0.1f made the issue slightly harder to replicate, but the problem remained, and increasing this value isn't something I want to do anyway, as it makes the player become grounded slightly earlier than they should. Anyone got any ideas on what the issue might be? Video for reference.

[bronze zenith]

oops

[willow scroll]

I would assume, 404 Not Found might not be your code

[bronze zenith]

i think i deleted it

[deft grail]

😂

[bronze zenith]

ok NOW https://paste.ofcode.org/6ygQXcesRZDgJGn8N5Wh9h its all of it

[wintry quarry]

Your overlapBox is 0.01 thick

that's quite tiny

very unlikely to hit a small platform especially at high speed

[willow scroll]

Well, just check what I've been telling you before

[bronze zenith]

https://paste.ofcode.org/wMMGMNhzLrt5WgkXGtuds3 and then the other bit

[willow scroll]

And use some prints

[bronze zenith]

do i need using System.Collections; and
using System.Collections.Generic; by the way?

[willow scroll]

You need to solve your issue first

[deft grail]

idk, do you? are you using them

[bronze zenith]

it says their unnecisary when i hover over them

[willow scroll]

What does it mean?

It'll tell you something doesn't exist if you don't include the namespace, so no need if you don't work with the Dictionaries, Lists, Coroutines etc.

[bronze zenith]

man idk what the problem is

[willow scroll]

Can it be, perhaps, because you had interest neither in reading my previous responses, nor printing the stuff in your code?
