Ty!

[summer stump]

I also just linked you to the official one right there
The GameMaker one is the only one I like on youtube though, so if you go with that, it's a good choice

[limber anchor]

Hello I am making a fps Movement controller and for a groundcheck I am using the CheckSpyhere method but its returing true even if its not colliding with a Object in the Ground layer
code: https://paste.ofcode.org/xV9E98bKEi9SHP2nxavBVc

[wraith grotto]

Hi hi, good people!

I have an issue loading gameObjects that render my sprites depending on the weapontype picked up. The gameObjects are children of the main playerObject which the following code is linked to.

the code: https://hastebin.com/share/siramugafo.csharp
the error: https://hastebin.com/share/enixadekop.vbnet

I have set the gameObjects in the serialized fields in the unity editor

[finite dew]

there's some wonky stuff going on with mask selection for physics casts, I can NEVER remember how to do it properly

I'll try to find it

[limber anchor]

alr ty

[willow scroll]

If it returns true, then it's definitely colliding with the object in the Ground layer. Consider debugging the Physics.OverlapSphere to check what's colliding.

[willow scroll]

I don't think the problem is in LayerMask parameter

[finite dew]

the way I do it in my project rn, is just selecting it in the inspector instead of through LayerMask.GetMask

[SerializeField]
private LayerMask _layerMask;

because LayerMask.GetMask returns the mask in a different way than physics cast expects it

beyond me, why

but this method works

[limber anchor]

you can not debug Physics.OverlapSphere cuz its an array with cant be debugged apparently

[limber anchor]

let me check this

[finite dew]

the way you do it right now makes it collide with everything

[willow scroll]

Why? Use a loop or linq

[finite dew]

it's beyond me why it's this way but yea do check it out

[limber anchor]

fair

[finite dew]

it can't be debugged in debugger but Debug.Log is always there :D

[limber anchor]

sadly it does not fix my issue

[finite dew]

haha, wow, I guess I have a bug in my project as well

that's a funny way to find this out

[limber anchor]

XD

[finite dew]

ok, unity says to get the index of the layer you want
and do
int layerMask = 1 << indexOfLayerYouWantToCollideWith;
I'll check too, if this works

[limber anchor]

I have setup this loop ``` Collider[] colliders = Physics.OverlapSphere(GroundCheckTransform.position, GroundDistance, layerMask);

    Debug.Log("Number of colliders detected: " + colliders.Length);

    foreach (Collider col in colliders)
    {
        Debug.Log("Collider name: " + col.name);
        Debug.Log("Collider position: " + col.transform.position);
        Debug.Log("Collider tag: " + col.tag);
        
    } ``` but it always returns 0 even if I am standing on the floor and when I am in the air

[finite dew]

ok, so my layer that I'm targeting is layer 6 in the editor, so doing 1 << 6 for the layer works
but doing 1 << LayerMask.GetMask("Floor") does not work
Also idk, now I tested it again and my first method with just selecting in the inspector worked, that's weird

[finite dew]

does it detect anything if you remove the layerMask?

[shell gorge]

I’m not sure what I’m doing 😅

[finite dew]

ah, you're working with a pre-made project
that might bump up the difficulty curve a bit for you
consider doing the tutorial from scratch

[limber anchor]

I willl first try this

[radiant imp]

hello guys

[limber anchor]

hi

[summer stump]

LayerMask.GetMask returns a mask, which is the point of doing the bit operation

Just get LayerMask.GetMask and use that directly

[radiant imp]

do you know how to make a ragdoll player movemenr? 😄

[finite dew]

funnily enough, it does not work for me

[limber anchor]

youtube?

[summer stump]

Which part?

[radiant imp]

cant find any

[summer stump]

There are a LOT

[radiant imp]

no i want active ragdoll movemnt

like TABS

[summer stump]

There are a LOT like that

[radiant imp]

but if you know please tell me

[radiant imp]

can you link?

[shell gorge]

Oh, well I have no idea what the child is and how to attach it to the player.

[summer stump]

On my phone. But literally "unity active ragdoll" will get it

[limber anchor]

without the LayerMask it detects the right objects and right amounts but then my jumping breaks because its depended on the mask

[radiant imp]

fr?

[finite dew]

fine, I give up, I checked the actual values, and it seems to all return the same stuff
I have no idea why it just didn't work for me before

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[finite dew]

that's weird then
just as a sanity check, verify if your floor has the right layer on it

[limber anchor]

I have reset all the layers with the ground layer and I use this to get the mask [SerializeField] int GroundMask = 1<<3;

but now it detects nothing again

[summer stump]

Have you tried just doing [SerializeField] LayerMask GroundMask; ?
Sorry, I missed most of the context here

[finite dew]

try

[SerializeField]
private LayerMask GroundMask;

[summer stump]

And is this for a raycast or something? Have you done a Debug.DrawRay?

[finite dew]

and use the inspector for it

[limber anchor]

its not for a raycast its for detecting a ground

[summer stump]

Well yeah, but how do you detect the ground?

[finite dew]

raycast and spherecast is pretty similar

[finite dew]

with spherecast

[summer stump]

Ah, spherecast? Same difference then

Still do a drawray just to check distance, start position, and direction

[finite dew]

it works without the layer filtering so that shouldn't be the issue

[summer stump]

Ah ok

[finite dew]

I feel like there's some catch somewhere
a silly small mistake that's tough to find that's causing all this
I think we eliminated most possibilities of error here

like is the floor layer set properly, for example

[shell gorge]

What about this? I haven’t figured it out yet.

[radiant imp]

Hmmm all the stuff is self balanced ragdolls instead of ragdoll movement 🤔

[limber anchor]

its somehow colliding with its parent object in mid air which I think sets the Grounded to true because ofc its colliding

[limber anchor]

just idk how to fix

[finite dew]

try just the tutorial, trust me
you'll learn the basics and everything will be easier

go through the tutorial from scratch

[shell gorge]

Okay.

[radiant imp]

If I just add a ragdoll to and freeze the hip rotation to a existing player controller, will it work?

[finite dew]

but wait, does the spherecast detect something or no? I'm confused

[shell gorge]

Does the video have something to do with a point light?

I just need this point light over with

[finite dew]

it has to do with basic unity stuff, like how to assign children to gameobjects

[limber anchor]

Yes its detecting the Parent object of the GroundCheck object
I have my objects setup like this:
Parent(Empty object)
Child Player(Sphere)
Child Camera
Child GroundCheck object

[shell gorge]

Ah ok.

[limber anchor]

Wow I fixed it

I made the Collider of the Character controller On the parent smaller

and then made the groundcheck distance lower

with resulted in them not colliding anymore

[stoic glen]

Why can't I add a child of a prefab as an Game Object

[finite dew]

if it works, it works! but this error will come back to haunt you with other collider types, perhaps
you should try and get that ground spherecast working eventually

[limber anchor]

true thats a problem for later me

XD

not for me right now

[finite dew]

true :D

[limber anchor]

as its almost 11 pm XD

[vestal stump]

Random.Range keeps generating numbers when on the update function and if i put it in a void it still generates multiple numbers is there somewhere i can put it to where itl generate just one number when called

[radiant imp]

Is there a place to hire ppl?

[stoic glen]

Create a function with random. Call the function in the Start()

[vestal stump]

kk ill try that

[stoic glen]

Void only means that it doesn't return anything.

[shell gorge]

I been watching and haven’t been learning anything

I’m working on something 3D

[stoic glen]

Does someone know why?

Just having a hard time trying to do this, I need a clear Tutorial on how to put a point light on a Player

Gonna take a break from it.

[rich adder]

put a light on a player ? thats vague af

[shell gorge]

Yeah and I’m having the hardest time over it lmao

I have a hard time learning alot, but I try my best to understand.

[summer stump]

Literally hover your mouse over the light gameobject in the hierarchy, click and hold, drag that object over the player gameobject in the hierarchy, release the mouse

Do the !learn guide. You need to know these extreme basic things

[eternal falcon]

:teacher: Unity Learn ↗

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

[shell gorge]

Oh?!

I am going to try that when I’m back on, I’m taking a break, Tysm.

[summer stump]

Also stop trying to find tutorials for minor things like this. They don't exist because you should learn them as a whole while learning unity itself

Seriously, at LEAST after fixing the light (preferably even before), do the guide above

[lost anvil]

is it possible to access a materials emission intensity through code?

[final trellis]

not sure how to describe what i need help with, but basically, i want the m_mustaches part to be from a string input, but idk how to parse that string into something usable

also dw yes ik i should have -1 at the end of m_mustaches.Count, but im using 1 above the list count to kinda represent null

[deft grail]

so you have a string correct?

you want to turn that into a number?

[final trellis]

nah i want to turn the string into the whatever you call it to the list

[shell gorge]

I just have hard times figuring out things, I’m sorry.

[final trellis]

idk the correct terminology for what im looking for

[deft grail]

what does the string contain that you want to conver it to a list

[final trellis]

the variable name of the list

so a string input of "m_mustaches" will get the list size of the m_mustaches list

[deft grail]

i really dont understand, could you write "code" in english and try to explain what you want to do?
and show the string maybe too that might help

[deft grail]

ah

[final trellis]

kind of like how you specify what variable to change in an animator through code by using a string

[deft grail]

not sure if theres a method for that

for now the best would be create your own which just returns the count based of the string by using if statement

not sure if there is a better way

[final trellis]

unity seems to be able to do it so i should be able to too

i think?? idk

[deft grail]

well unity can do what it wants im pretty sure

you are basing of C#

[verbal dome]

Sounds like you need to use Reflection

If you really really want to do that

Or if it's for editor only, you can use SerializedProperty etc.

But if you only have a few different names then you could just do it manually with an if- or switch-statement, like gr4ss said

[eternal needle]

whats the use case, like a user types this in and gets the list of mustaches?
doing this manually would be best

[final trellis]

the use case is that i can call this function from a UI element, theres left and right incriment buttons and it saves the mustache ID to a playerpref, but im realizing now that buttons and sliders dont really like to call functions with multiple input fields 💀

the point of making it that way was so i diddnt have to make 43087524078 functions with 99% the exact same code but with just a tiny little change of what list it was looking for

[eternal needle]

i dont see how the "m_mustaches" part is relevant to button calling a function, these buttons can directly call your function for going to the next or previous option

[final trellis]

its so i can specify which button affects which list ( bc i also have m_beards and other stuff ) with only a single function

[snow girder]

hey guys so I'm trying my hand at the new and improved unity input system, but for some reason my script can't find my input actions asset

can anyone tell me why

[eternal needle]

it really is simplest to just have a function for everything thats needed, like a function for CycleNextMustache and CyclePrevMustache and then both functions can call some ChangeMustache(int index).
Having this try to work for everything like beards and whatever else exists is gonna be way more of a pain. Like if in the future you suddenly want to handle beards differently, then you're gonna either going back to making specific functions for beards or trying to adapt this "all in one" system.

[final trellis]

fair enough, was just looking for a way to make it more simpler to use

[eternal needle]

https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/ExecutionOrder.html
look at whats happening in order

[snow girder]

what do you mean?

its telling me it doesn't have the inputactions at cs 22

[eternal needle]

did you click the link ive sent? look at the order of the functions

and then you can see why its not set to an instance

[snow girder]

oh wait

i see

you could've just said start happens after onEnable but whatever

thanks for your help

[eternal needle]

i couldve done a lot of things but I dont like to spoonfeed answers. You could've also added debugs to see whats happening, or posted your code in the proper format according to the !code command

'https://paste.ee/p/D0TXs'

my first looks at my enemies ai

it looks extremely messy and its my first time attempting something like this, its meant to find each ability/card and weight them whether they should be used as the action

does anyone notice a big things that i should change?

[rare basin]

that code is totally not correct

imagine if you have 100 abilities

would you do public Weight cardAb1Weight;

100 times?

then 100 ifs?

do you know what's a Dictionary and how to use it? or Lists/arrays?

you then can have Dictionary<Card, int> cardWeights for example, and the value of the dictionary is each card's weight

then make a function that picks one of the card based on a weight picking system

also the functions ab1W, ab2W - again think in a bigger perspective

if you want to add more cards and abilities this is just pain in the ass to work it

with 10 abilities you need 20 functions for it

and 20 additional variables

@acoustic arch

[acoustic arch]

they can only have 3 abilities ever

i alotted a lot of time to work on the enemy ai so i expected some work

[acoustic arch]

ill look into changing it to this

itll make it much cleaner

[acoustic arch]

should i delete this whole thing

[rare basin]

sure but still, this is not designer friendly at all

[acoustic arch]

it lowk making me wanna kms

[rare basin]

if you ever work in a team and make this kind of code, no one will be able to easily add new abilties and stuff

and noone will understand whats going on in this code

[acoustic arch]

the abilities are their own SO's so for the most part making them is irrelevant but i would agree its extremely messy

[rare basin]

i get it, but you dont get what im saying

if at any point in the development, you or your team or your boss or whpever

decide that now enemies have 5 abilities instead of 3

you need to add like 6 variables and 6 functions and 12 ifs

instead of adding 2 abilities into a list/dictionary

you should learn about SOLID principles, especially the open/closed principle

this means that a class should be extendable without modifying the class itself

[acoustic arch]

alright i think i know how to fix it (mostly involves deleting a lot)

i need to look into disctionaries first tho

thanks

[acoustic arch]

ok im gonna make a dictionary that holds a new class called Action, and int (for weight)

Action contains the details of what happens if that ability or etc gets called

i deleted the whole thing, too messy couldn't read

[rare basin]

starting from scratch is often a very good idea

[ivory bobcat]

if (battle.currentEnemyCard.ability[i] != null)
{
    cardAbWeight[i].ability = battle.currentEnemyCard.ability[i];
}```Not sure what the discussion was about but usually you'd use arrays whenever you'd see `something`**X**

[acoustic arch]

sadly that code doesn't exist anymore

i wiped the slate

[acoustic arch]

i think i'm getting somewhere, i took a step back i decided to write out a sketch of the enemy decision flow and code flow

before getting into it

[devout spire]

how do i stop a foreach function without stopping the function it's contained in? in my code the return is ending the entire runcommand function but all i want it to do is stop the first foreach and move on to the one after it.

    {
        command = "";

        foreach(char ch in fullcommand)
        {
            if(ch.ToString() != " ")
            {
                command = command + ch.ToString();
            }
            else
            {
                return;
            }
        }

        foreach(string s in commands)

            if(s == command)
            {
                log.text = log.text + System.Environment.NewLine + "User>" + command;
                return;
            }
            else if(s == commands[commands.Length - 1])
            {
                log.text = log.text + System.Environment.NewLine + "User>" + command;
                log.text = log.text + System.Environment.NewLine + "No such command '" + command + "' found!";
            }
        } 
    }```

break usually ends the loop

continue;

that worked, thank you!

[rare basin]

continue skips the iteration, it doesnt "stop" the loop

[real falcon]

what value do I use in a heightmap for an area which should not be modified

[rare basin]

huh

[real falcon]

if I dont want that pixel to be raised or lowered visually

[wintry quarry]

In what context

Why are pixels being raised and lowered in the first place

[opaque hinge]

I am currently working on a code that generates a hexagon grid of gameobjects and add them to an array. Each gamobject has a node script associated with it. I then randomly shuffle the array and delete the first 14 items from the array, to randomly destroy 14 tiles from my grid. I then call a function called getneighbors for every tile in the array that essentially creates an array of all neighbor tiles. However, for some reason, despite the get neighbor function being called after tiles are already destroyed from the tile array, the neighbor array for each tile will contain blank array members, instead of just a smaller array. I dont know if Im explaining myself well, and I can share any code if tha would help

[teal viper]

You'll need to provide more details on the issue and the context of you really need help.

[real falcon]

like a heightmap is a grayscale image where black is lowered and white is raised

what if I dont want that pixel to be either

[verbal dome]

Destroying the items in an array will not remove the items from that array. It will just leave you with a bunch of nulls in it.

Consider using a List instead of array, and also removing the items (gameobjects) from that list when you destroy them

[teal viper]

That depends on your implementation. Share the code where you evaluate the color.

[real falcon]

I dont im just using the default unity heightmap on the URP/Lit shader

[teal viper]

Can you take a screenshot of the material? I don't remember it taking a heightmap.

[verbal dome]

Have you tried a 50% gray?

[verbal dome]

Found it here:
https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.render-pipelines.universal@12.0/manual/lit-shader.html
Wasn't on older docs

So it's a semi-recent feature I guess

[teal viper]

I see

[real falcon]

that was the first thing I tried

[verbal dome]

Probably need to import it with Linear (not gamma) color space too

[real falcon]

I mean I could just brute force to find one but id rahter be precise

[real falcon]

hmm ok

[opaque hinge]

My apologies, I am using a list, and after I destroy a tile I remove it from the list using (listname).RemoveAt[number]

[verbal dome]

How are you making the heightmap?

[real falcon]

just a png in gimp, idk what export settings im using

ill try the linear color space thro

[verbal dome]

Hmm maybe it is because Destroy happens at the end of frame and not instantly?

Could try to use a coroutine and WaitForEndOfFrame to get around that. But I'm just speculating here

Sharing your code would help

[real falcon]

I think that was it, yeah, the import color space

[verbal dome]

I think you need to uncheck 'sRGB (Color Texture)' in the import panel

That should make it linear

[real falcon]

yeah it worked

[verbal dome]

Nice

Btw you should do that to anything that isn't an Albedo/Base color texture as far as I know

My MaskMaps were really weird until I realized they were imported as sRGB

[real falcon]

im not sure what that means

as in just the base texture?

[verbal dome]

Yeah, well I'm saying that stuff like roughness/metallic/heightmaps should always uncheck the sRGB

[opaque hinge]

I created a public list that is populated by the current tile list right before I call the get neighbors function, and it properly shows that the tiles are deleted from the list. Which is why Im confused as to why the neighbors list would have null values in it.

for example I go, for each tile in the list, add tile to public list, and then I get neighbors for tile. And the public list doesnt show any null values, but the neighbors list does

I assume that with 'get neighbors function' you mean Node.FindNeighbor

You should show that too

[opaque hinge]

yes thats it,

here is my node script: https://paste.ofcode.org/hrwX2MxvnLnwPMKsVipUTh

here is my grid generation script again: https://paste.ofcode.org/36XJQmvnE6DmbFzZGJw6nAM

[teal viper]

Are you getting any errors or warning in the console?

[opaque hinge]

I dont have unity open right now but there wasnt last time I checked

[verbal dome]

I don't see you removing anything from nodes though

You are destroying some of the nodes in SetBoard, so you end up with null nodes in the nodes array, right?

Then you pass a list of those nodes into FindNeighbor

They become null at the end of the frame, that's how Destroy works

So FindNeighbor is checking neighbors that are about to become null/get destroyed

As far as I can tell

[opaque hinge]

Yeah I did think that, which is why I had this //nodes[i] = null; , but when I added that, tilelist was completely empty all of a sudden

[verbal dome]

You most likely got a null ref exception in the console

This is why I originally suggested using lists, not arrays. Instead of setting it to null in the array, you could just remove the node from the list at that index

[opaque hinge]

yes I am, okay.

[verbal dome]

I hope my explanations aren't too confusing 😄

[opaque hinge]

Im honeslty not even sure what the point of that nodes array is though. Since every tile has a node attached to it, can't I just find neighbor for the node of every tile in the tile list

[verbal dome]

Yeah you can probably do without the whole array

[opaque hinge]

Okay, I will probably try that because Im not sure why I added it in the first place, I think chatGTP recommended it

[verbal dome]

:/

[regal bear]

Hi, i have some stats working fine, hunger, thirst, fatigue, needs, but i guess my code is a mess. Can i somehow unify the stats? Every stats work the same, can i somehow chain the stats to a for each? or something like create a container for my stats and go through every stat and do the same thing? Im not familiar with C# yet, and still a beginner coder

[opaque hinge]

thanks Osmal

[grave sage]

its hard to know what u are talking about without sharing the code but I assume that u have multiple states variables and u want to unify the way u are handling them, try making a function that takes states as a parameter and in side the function u can do the same steps that u are doing for each

[grave sage]

another tip, watching few youtube videos goes a long way

[regal bear]

ye thats what i looking for, btw what u mean take states?

[regal bear]

yea did that, but they are just hardcoded for example the hunger delpetition, max hunger, etc.

maybe player stats the thing, where i just write the code once, and doesnt care after that

[grave sage]

take states as parameter public void UpdateStates( States Hunger ) { // do stuff ... }

[grave sage]

sure u can do the same with player

[regal bear]

and how can i create states? don't understand that, can u link docs? cant find it in google either

[grave sage]

I am not sure if there is a code specifically for states
but you can make something like

public float currenthunger;
public float hungerMax;

then use code to program whatever u want

example

 if (currentHunger < 1 ) { KillPlayer(); }
 else if ( currentHunger < 30) { ReducePlayerSpeed(); }

then u have to actually create those two functions KillPlayer() and ReducePlayerSpeed()

[regal bear]

yea i know that, my problem is to like shorten the code. i want something like i have currentHunger, hungerRegen, currentThirst, thirstRegen (Start Regen when i do something) and then a function which works independently so a function, takes current hunger, and hunger regen, and do the regen code, but i need to write down like x stat i have. i want like loop through my stats, and do this for all of my stats

something like that, sorry bad english

but as i said maybe im just overcomplicate this and write 3 lines of code and thats it

[eternal needle]

you could have a dictionary of the stats linked to some enum. Like Dictionary<enum, float>

[teal viper]

Sounds like you want an array/list

Or a dictionary

[eternal needle]

really depends what you're trying to do with this also

[regal bear]

yea something like that

[grave sage]

if I were u I would have run those under Coroutine which is like a timer that runs ever X seconds .. then U can do whatever every second passes u could reduce hunger by 1 , and if players touches food u could increase hunger by 20 .. etc

[regal bear]

Now my exact problem is, i have a decreaseStat() function, its do the math / second, for every stat and decrease it by a number, each one different. And when for example my character is in the toilet, i want to stop but only the Needs stat to decrease, and start increase. I just put booleans for each stat like isRegen? and if false, then do the decrease, if not, then stop the decrease and in other function i start regenerating

I guess this code is a mess:

    private void OnTriggerEnter2D(Collider2D collision)
    {
        if (collision.gameObject.CompareTag("Toilet"))
        {
            IsNeedsRegen = true;
        }
    }

    private void OnTriggerExit2D(Collider2D collision)
    {
        if (collision.gameObject.CompareTag("Toilet"))
        {
            IsNeedsRegen = false;
        }
    }

    public void decreaseStat()
    {
        fatigue -= fatigueSpeed / 60;
        fatigueBar.SetValue(fatigue);

        hunger -= hungerSpeed / 60;
        hungerBar.SetValue(hunger);

        thirst -= thirstSpeed / 60;
        thirstBar.SetValue(thirst);

        if (!IsNeedsRegen)
        {
            needs -= needsSpeed / 60;
        }
        else if (IsNeedsRegen)
        {
            increaseNeeds();
            //Debug.Log("Increasing Needs");
        }

        needsBar.SetValue(needs);

    }

but maybe its fine idk

decreaseStat() fires in every second

btw im only tried to implement this to Needs, thats why i have this only here

[eternal needle]

well the code is definitely questionable. having lists or dictionaries for the stats can help clean things up. A list for the fatigue, hunger, thirst, and possibly another list for the speeds. Though I find it odd you are doing fatigueSpeed / 60, seems like quite a magic number used there.
Also this OnTriggerEnter2D logic is gonna be quite the nightmare in the future if you start to implement more and more. It would make more sense if this script was on the objects that actually give the buff or debuff. this is also gonna be a bit more complicated so consider how large you want this project to be

[regal bear]

This is my first game try, its just a small topdown pixelated game

i want simple as possible

but clean, effective code

i just have 4 stats, and i don't want to add more, but i tought good idea to create like a generic stat scripts, and then maybe reuse this for future projects

so the functions can work with 1 stat, 4 stat or maybe 10 idk just sayin

[teal viper]

Creating a Stat class might be what you want then. Then having a list/dictionary of these stats.

[regal bear]

just got the idea i don't know if its good or not, if i decrease my hunger with 10, and i want to icrease it with 20, i just increase it with 30 so the minus 10 still works, but i overwrite it with the icrease

[regal bear]

okay, idk how classes work exactly, i'll dig into that

[teal viper]

Might want to go learn C# properly before proceeding.

[hallow sun]

so something like this?:

public ProgressBar[] bars;
public float[] variables;
public float[] speeds;

private void OnTriggerEnter2D(Collider2D collision)
{
  if (collision.gameObject.CompareTag("Toilet"))
  {
      speeds[3] = 0; // #3 is Needs
  }
}

private void OnTriggerExit2D(Collider2D collision)
{
  if (collision.gameObject.CompareTag("Toilet"))
  {
      speeds[3] = x; // whatever the default value is, perhaps on another variable?
  }
}

public void decreaseStat()
{
  for (int i=0; i<4; i++)
  {
    variables[i] -= speeds[i] / 60;
    bars[i].SetValue(variables[i]);
  }
}```

[regal bear]

thats why im asking you, i hate school cuz the teacher just explain things for like 20 30 40 min, and we did nothing, I want to learn c# on the go, with small project, ofc my game never will be sellable or playable or anything, i just got a game idea and try to do it, and then learn on the road.

[regal bear]

i like that yes i want something like that

[hallow sun]

instead of using bool just set the speed from zero/the speed

[teal viper]

It's fine to practice what you learned if you actually learned the theory.

[bronze surge]

Does anyone here know to invite someone to your unity project? nothings been working

[eternal needle]

well its hard to really know where this increase or decrease even came from, we're missing a bit of context on where -10 or +30 even exist. But think about it like this, you have a value of -10, so you are adding 30 to get it to 20. Why not just set it directly to 20 if thats what you want?

[regal bear]

idk im just thinking about this, i don't know what method is the best for handling these stats. but i like Faywilds example

[eternal needle]

dont crosspost. Also you need to say what you actually tried. Do you have a way of version control or were you just hoping theres some "Invite" button somewhere on the UI?

[hallow sun]

you can change the speed to a negative number (-20 in this case) to gain hunger instead of losing it

[eternal needle]

that is pretty much what i said to do with the list example. Though remembering the numbers is gonna be tedious, and definitely isnt clean. You should have some other way to either lookup which stat you want or just use a dictionary of <enum, float>

[regal bear]

enum should be okay i guess

[abstract finch]

Why am I unable to modify a public float within this struct? The error goes away if I turn the struct into a class.

            {
                _actionInfos[i].TimeUntilAvailable -= Time.deltaTime;
            }```

thanks

[bronze surge]

we've done the unity version control but its not working .is there a way to simply invite them to the project? we are pretty new to this

[tiny hawk]

Can anyone help me debug why a script on one of my game objects it not being called? I have Debug.Log in the start and awake, but neither are being called. The script is enabled on the game object.

I put the script on a tree that's being called by the terrain system

It gets called when not using the terrain system

[eternal needle]

i havent worked with unity's vc, but tbh git is just the best in every way. either way, there should be some website where you can control the project and then add members.

[cosmic dagger]

Is the GameObject active?

[tiny hawk]

I see them on the screen so I think so

[brave compass]

Changing the list to an array would also fix the error, because arrays return values by reference.

[abstract finch]

ah that make sense actually

actually I need them it to be a list unfortunately

[mystic pike]

how do i change the pivot point of a 2D object?

[rich adder]

sprite editor

or UI has the rect transform

[mystic pike]

thanks

[mystic pike]

how would i change just the z value of rotation?

[rich adder]

depends, if its non-rigidbody transform.Rotate usually

[mystic pike]

kinda worked just not how i expected

[rich adder]

idk what that means

I am making a game that's sort of a sokoban. So far I have player movement and when you walk into a wall, if possible, it will run it's interact function. We also have a crate, which is a wall I'd like to push. The issue being that I'd like this to chain with other crates no matter the ammount. That means, I need someone to help me make a system of checking if the wall in front can move.

How I'd imagine this:
Player interacts with crate -> Crate gets the player's moveDir -> Crate checks in moveDir direction for obstacles -> If none, proceed to move and return true to let the previous crate/player move -- If something is encountered, check if it's a crate -- If yes, ask it to check further.

https://hatebin.com/jsrwjlvtpn << Player Script
https://hatebin.com/mpqqqfzmep << Wall Script
https://hatebin.com/qnerftymbo << Crate Script

The biggest issue with this I see is we need some way to check for crates without using a string variable like wallType. If it's a crate, it has a special function that returns a boolean and grabs the moveDir as an argument. This would chain nicely and stuff.

Does anyone have an idea how I could make all this work?

I think I'm overcomplicating a bit

Most important: How can I check if the detected object is a crate

[untold patrol]

Hi currently trying to work on animations for opening and closing doors. i have a scipt and animations all setup which work in the preview and show the interaction working. i know the code works on another type of door but for some reason isnt working with this, if anyone can help that woudl be great thanks.

[stray pivot]

does your rigid body have gravity to true? if it has then try going into the playmode and moving the character up in the scene view and check if it goes down

[nimble apex]

this is totally pointless right?

    public virtual void OnClose()

Hi, I don't know if this is the right place to ask but I wanted to make guns in my game aimable but I did it by using Quaternion.Lerp so the gun couldn't do things like bobing because it was affected by my lerp to go to a specific position when holding RMB, so I wanted to ask what is the right way to implement aiming into a FPS game

[eternal needle]

yes it is

ty👍

You can modify the target rotation before/after the lerping.🤷‍♂️

[regal bear]

Hello, im total beginner with coding, learned a bit but not much, trying to create my first project, i wrote a stat script for player (hunger, thirst etc.) but was a mess, now i refractored my code, i think this looks nice, maybe a bit overcomplicated, but want clean and flexible code, i think this is a good start. I call handleAllStat() in a different script, when i wrote my ingame time, so its called in every IRL seconds. Please say if its too bad, or anything. https://gdl.space/cefevivuko.cs

[ivory bobcat]

Maybe less usage of static members and a struct data type that holds these grouped together {max, current, decrease, increase}.

[regal bear]

i just got errors if im not using static

[regal bear]

oh and never heard about struct, ty i'll use

[gaunt ice]

then learn how to reference an instance correctly

[ivory bobcat]

Well, it'd require some refactoring.

[gaunt ice]

https://unity.huh.how/references/serialized-references

[regal bear]

what you mean? I want to use a variable in a same script, and i can't cuz "A field initializer cannot reference the non-static field, method, or property 'PlayerStats.decreaseHunger'" I looked your link, but still don't know where to search, cuz its not from other scene, or from prefab, asset, or children prefab.

[slender nymph]

that's because you assign to fields using other fields in the field initializers. it forces you to make things static unnecessarily which will cause further issues later on. don't make those variables static. and assign them to your other variables inside of a method like Start or Awake

you should also make non-static variables of your Stat type so you can serialize them instead of setting them up manually using half a dozen other fields

[gaunt ice]

or using awake/start

[regal bear]

okay i guess i start to understand, can you link some example code?

[gaunt ice]

don't make those variables static. and assign them to your other variables inside of a method like Start or Awake
from boxfriend

[regal bear]

So like this? https://gdl.space/puwoxozeso.cs

[gaunt ice]

yes, and prevent hard coded number (magic number)

int x=10;
-->
const int LEFT_BOUND=10
int x=LEFT_BOUND;

[languid spire]

and how is this

const int LEFT_BOUND=10

not hard coded?
It's still hard coded just differently

[burnt vapor]

It was probably related to the code where things like
currentValue -= decreaseValue / 60;
Are written, where you should probably use a constant instead

[languid spire]

I don't disagree with the rational, just saying it 'prevents hard coded number'

[regal bear]

Oh yes you are right. Thank you guys, im start to understand things. Any other tips? Btw i hard coded that cuz i dont want to change that number, but. Ill replace with const

[burnt vapor]

I think magic numbers are not as interesting to fix over magic strings, but still it would be nice considering you appear to write it multiple times and it helps understanding why it is 60 when you come back to it after a while

[languid spire]

I think the most important thing to know about magic numbers or strings is to define them only in one place so that if it changes it changes for ALL usages

[regal bear]

I guess i shouldnt use dictionary right? I just need to use a simple array of stats and then loop through right? 😂

[languid spire]

depending on your usage an Array and an Enum to use as an index is optimal

[regal bear]

I dont know how to pair my stats with my stats slider on my UI. I tought use serializefield and drag n drop the bar to a stat is a bad practice

[wooden sandal]

i suddenly get a null ref exception on an event... how is that possible?

[regal bear]

Thats the point why i want to create something like a dictionary.

So my last question is for now, is drag n drop things to the inspector a bad practice? So should i get objects or anythings in code, or using the inspector with drag n drop is a good way too?

[languid spire]

Drag and Drop in the Inspector should ALWAYS be your first choice, if possible

[regal bear]

Ohh i tought the other way lol. Even for someone who are pro at coding?

[languid spire]

you'll need to share the exact error and !code

this is my event delegate

This line calls it

        {
            OnPopUpRequest(text);
        }

this is the error msg

it tells me the event itself is null... i am confused

[languid spire]

That would suggest that you are executing OnPopUpRequest before any delegate has been added to it

try

OnPopUpRequest?.Invoke(text);

[wooden sandal]

yeah it seems its the case. but that only fixes the error msg. how is it even possible that the delegate was not created?

[languid spire]

because no one has subscribed to it

[wooden sandal]

holy shit, i found the problem... the subscriber would be disabled just before the request... oh boy...
thanks for the help

[heavy geyser]

Hello I was hoping if someone could help me figure out how to get two functionalities working for my little frogs. I have them moving around the scene and whenever they are standing still I want them to have a low chance of either blinking, or croaking. However, I can not get this to work. This is because in order to determine when I should croak or blink I am doing stuff coroutines that are being called in the update function. This causes the frog to freak out and be constantly croaking or blinking. Which is painful to see, and hear.

Here is my code:

     void Update() {
        Movement();

        int x = 0;
        if (x == 0) {
            StartCoroutine(Blink());
            x++;
        }

        int y = 0;
        if (y == 0) {
            StartCoroutine(Croak());
            y++;
        }

        if (Random.value < croakProbability) {
            if (!_isCroaking && !_isBlinking && !_isMoving) {
            }
        }
    }

void Movement() { }

    IEnumerator Blink() {
        yield return new WaitForSeconds(Random.Range(6.0f, 24.0f));

        _isBlinking = true;
        Debug.Log("Blink");

        _animator.SetBool("isBlinking", true);

        yield return new WaitForSeconds(0.5f);
        
        _animator.SetBool("isBlinking", false);

        _isBlinking = false;

    }

    IEnumerator Croak() {
        yield return new WaitForSeconds(Random.Range(16.0f, 32.0f));

        _isCroaking = true;
        Debug.Log("Croak");

        _animator.SetBool("isCroaking", true);

        float pitch = Random.Range(minCroakPitch, maxCroakPitch);
        _audioSource.pitch = pitch;
        _audioSource.PlayOneShot(_croakSound, 0.75f);

        yield return new WaitForSeconds(_croakSound.length);

        _animator.SetBool("isCroaking", false);
        _isCroaking = false;
    }

The int x == 0 / int y ==0 was part of an experiment i know it looks very weird and shabby

[keen dew]

Start the coroutines once in Start and put the contents inside a while(true) loop

[heavy geyser]

lemme try

    private void Start() {
        _rb = GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>();
        _audioSource = GetComponent<AudioSource>();
        _animator = GetComponent<Animator>();
        _spriteRenderer = GetComponent<SpriteRenderer>();

        StartCoroutine(Blink());
        StartCoroutine(Croak());
    }

    IEnumerator Blink() {
        while (true) {
            yield return new WaitForSeconds(Random.Range(2.0f, 6.0f));

            _isBlinking = true;
            Debug.Log("Blink");

            _animator.SetBool("isBlinking", true);

            yield return new WaitForSeconds(0.5f);
        
            _animator.SetBool("isBlinking", false);

            _isBlinking = false;
        }
    }

    IEnumerator Croak() {
        while (true) {
            yield return new WaitForSeconds(Random.Range(16.0f, 32.0f));

            _isCroaking = true;
            Debug.Log("Croak");

            _animator.SetBool("isCroaking", true);

            float pitch = Random.Range(minCroakPitch, maxCroakPitch);
            _audioSource.pitch = pitch;
            _audioSource.PlayOneShot(_croakSound, 0.75f);

            yield return new WaitForSeconds(_croakSound.length);

            _animator.SetBool("isCroaking", false);
            _isCroaking = false;
        }
    }```

Hmm now they're not blinking or croaking at all. It maybe worth mentioning that the scene these frogs are in is added additively, and deactivated along side its gameobjects if that makes any sense, or any help at all

[languid spire]

you do realise that this

void Update() {
        Movement();

        int x = 0;
        if (x == 0) {
            StartCoroutine(Blink());
            x++;
        }

        int y = 0;
        if (y == 0) {
            StartCoroutine(Croak());
            y++;
        }

by using local variables for x and y is complete nonsense

[heavy geyser]

oh yeah lmao, but yeah I did, just didn't realised how stupid it was before hand

i'm no longer using that atm, I am starting the coroutines in the Start function now like Nitku suggested

[keen dew]

I'm not quite sure what you mean that the objects are deactivated? At what point does that happen?

[heavy geyser]

hang on just reloading unity back up, PC crashed

I have a primary scene, MainScene which, at the start of the game, will additively load a list of scenes. These scenes are then set to not being active, and then all of the gameobjects within those scenes are deactivated. The scenes and gameobjects within those scenes and then reactivated when I "travel" there

I do not believe this is part of the issue as the frogs do spawn and activate correctly, I just thought it might be worth a mention

[keen dew]

Do you see the debug.log messages in the console?

[heavy geyser]

I do not

[keen dew]

Any error messages?

[heavy geyser]

No, nothing

[keen dew]

Just as a sanity check, if you put a log in Start after the StartCoroutine calls, do you see that?

[heavy geyser]

Yes okay, so it does print that it's blinking and croaking, but thats when the game first starts up and the split second before the scene is deactivated

[keen dew]

If the scripts are on an object that gets deactivated it'll stop the coroutines as well

[heavy geyser]

hmm that makes sense

[topaz mortar]

Wow, I refactored my server to just use JsonConvert.DeserializeObject and JsonConvert.SerializeObject from working with Dictionaries within Dictionaries within Dictionaries
It's SO much easier and clearer now 😮
Thanks for all the good advice in here 🙂

<@&502884371011731486>

so i am going to have to figure out how to run it again when the player re opens the scene

I don't get why Bitmap wouldn't be correct

your code is expecting a type or namespace "Bitmap" that is not there

But how do i get Bitmap?

[topaz mortar]

if it's from a package you installed it should be included or explained in that package

how can you have == null and then check a component of it ?

Did you miss the bot message a little above?

[willow pike]

What one do you reccomend

[topaz mortar]

Visual Studio

[languid spire]

Asking the bot? That's smart

[willow pike]

No, i mean

[topaz mortar]

is mine configured?

[languid spire]

yes

[topaz mortar]

that easy to see huh?

[languid spire]

yep

[topaz mortar]

what about this one?

[languid spire]

like everything, if you wtf you are doing, everything is easy

[tough cave]

How do i reset the location in the middle of the text obect? I resized it to a smaller object, but now the things with the arrows is all weird and very height up above the actual object.. which is uncomfortable. Idk what its called.

[languid spire]

not enough info

[topaz mortar]

click it and change the transform to 0 0 0?

[languid spire]

looks like you moved a child object in relation to it's parent. move the parent instead

[abstract finch]

Whats the term called when the Y axis position of a camera adjusts depending on the vertical rotation? Is it gimbal lock? An example would be an over the shoulder camera

[topaz mortar]

^ AI generated 😆

[abstract finch]

wow chatgpt is good

[topaz mortar]

it is lol

free too

[abstract finch]

is that browser based?

[topaz mortar]

and answers faster than peopl here 😛

yes

https://chatgpt.com/

[ebon robin]

use gemini, plainly better

[abstract finch]

idk how to ask it but im trying it now for the math formula mentioned about pitch and vertical rotation

[topaz mortar]

just ask it like you would here

UGS just responded to my client request from my server in 7ms?

[abstract finch]

yea im figuring out how to ask im thinking along the lines of:
How would I be able to maintain a consistent pitch of an over the shoulder camera while adjusting the vertical rotation?

public class OverShoulderCamera : MonoBehaviour
{
    public Transform target; // Reference to the player character
    public Vector3 offset = new Vector3(0f, 2f, -5f); // Offset from the player's position

    void LateUpdate()
    {
        if (target == null)
            return;

        // Calculate the desired position for the camera
        Vector3 desiredPosition = target.position + offset;

        // Smoothly move the camera towards the desired position
        transform.position = Vector3.Lerp(transform.position, desiredPosition, Time.deltaTime * 5f);

        // Make the camera look at the player's position
        transform.LookAt(target.position);
    }
}```
I'm giving it a ago but I dont think its what I want lol

[dapper egret]

it doesnt work at all unfortunately

[languid spire]

in fact it 'knows' nothing so I'm not surprised

[abstract finch]

idk how to describe it, it just doesnt work lol

[languid spire]

and you don't know enough to figure out why. Which is why GPT code is frowned upon in this server

not a code issue but how do i get rid of this

[languid spire]

In that case, why post here? Do not cross post

[dim brook]

doesnt really seem to have a help channel on this idk

[languid spire]

you have not even bothered to say what 'this' is, how can you expect help? And keep it in the correct channel

[willow pike]

I did what it said, but how do i know if mine is configured now

[languid spire]

screen shot your complete IDE window

[languid spire]

Still NOT configured
this should read Assembly-CSharp

[languid spire]

Right click on the project (in the solution explorer) and select reload with dependencies

[strong wren]

How are you ending up with this packet code anyway?

[willow pike]

It configured

[hidden heath]

It's not hard to set up Unity with Visual Studio. It also helps with code. You still gotta know what you're doing though.

[hidden heath]

He didn't make it. I know him and he uses a lot of free scripts and ChatGPT scripts.

[willow pike]

I didn't use Chatgpt

[hidden heath]

No, but you didn't make it. 100%

[topaz mortar]

mate stop being an unhelpful snitch, either help or leave

[hidden heath]

Mr. Pasc. Don't make me hunt you down and watch C++ tutorials. The reason thats torture is because this is Unity not Unreal.

[hidden heath]

I help people.

Just busy with my own stuff eh?

[fickle plume]

Keep it on topic, please.

[hidden heath]

Plus i'm tired and just woke up so I ain't im the best mood. Canadian weather is too warm right now.

[static cedar]

[hidden heath]

Aight my bad.

[fickle plume]

@willow pike Make sure the file is in the assets and open it from Unity

[willow pike]

It has configured now, i also imported System.Drawing

But i still get that error

[languid spire]

why are you even using System.Drawing and Bitmap? They are Windows WinForm only API's

[proud heath]

Why doesn't it work

[deft grail]

what is there to work?

you arent using rotation

[proud heath]

I mean why is the Euler red

[deft grail]

because it should be Vector3 rotation =

read the error

[proud heath]

Cannot resolve symbol 'Euler'

[verbal dome]

That code looks ok to me

[modest dust]

Quaternion.Euler returns a Quaternion, so no, it shouldn't be a Vector3.

[deft grail]

oh yeah, you just pass a Vector3 inside it, i forgot because i havent used it in a while

[proud heath]

'Quaternion' does not contain a definition for 'Euler' I already googled it and didn't find much

[verbal dome]

I dont remember ever seeing a 'cannot resolve symbol' error 🤔

[verbal dome]

Are you sure it is UnityEngine.Quaternion, or are you perhaps using some other namespace?

[proud heath]

should be that one

[brave compass]

It's probably System.Numerics.Quaternion.

[verbal dome]

Should be, but is it?

[proud heath]

uhmm how can I check

[verbal dome]

Hover your mouse on Quaternion

[brave compass]

If you have using System.Numerics; and no using UnityEngine;, or if you have both and using Quaternion = System.Numerics.Quaternion;

[proud heath]

It says System.Numerics

all good it works now

[willow scroll]

You may say this for safety

using Quaternion = UnityEngine.Quaternion;

[wintry quarry]

Don't they want the Unity one?

Just get rid of all mention of System.Numerics

[willow scroll]

Well, they have said:

It says System.Numerics. All good, it works now.

So they might want it?

[wintry quarry]

Yeah they meant it said that before and now they deleted it

Use context clues

[wintry quarry]

This was their code

[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

[willow scroll]

Right, I have just read the last 2 messages

[wintry quarry]

That's a function on the UnityEngine version

[willow scroll]

Anyway, just use another namespace here

[verbal dome]

What is the issue exactly? It is better to describe it even though you sent a video.

I see it stuttering up and down on the ground a bit, is that it?

Is it like sinking into the ground?

[willow scroll]

This boolean assignment seems strange to me.

grounded = Physics.Raycast(transform.position, Vector3.down, 
    playerHeight * 0.5f + 0.2f, whatIsGround);

The playerHeight is assigned in the Inspector, even though you may access the player's height via player.transform.localScale

Additionally, the offset 0.2 is added

And it's better to check with the OnCollisionEnter & OnCollisionExit methods

[magic panther]

If someone's got a moment, please tell me how to do this

[queen adder]

i got this error i was trying to import this from github, its a vhs style camera, it was working at the begenning but i dont know i did and now it doenst work, i tried to delete all, but the error persist's

[short hazel]

Try to get the crate script on it:

if (obj.TryGetComponent(out Crate crate))
{
    // it's a crate. Use the 'crate' variable which is a reference to the crate script.
}

Or since it inherits from the Wall class, and you already have a variable of type Wall, then you can type-check it
if (wall is Crate crate)

[main anchor]

yea, i have to press the space bar 2 - 4 times to actually jump, and when i land i sink into the floor

[buoyant knot]

your character has weak knees

it really depends on what sort of physics you have. ie kinematic, dynamic, or KCC

it sounds to me like a kinematic rb that doesn’t calculate the position of the floor properly

[tough cave]

how to tell if a object (player) is going down?
I google and one says
if (rigidbody.velocity.y < 0)
This isnt checking if the position fo it is below 0 of y axis?

[short hazel]

Error happens on line 31 as the stack trace mentions. Look at what's on that line to figure out what's the issue, maybe you forgot to drag-drop a reference into the Inspector of the effect?

[buoyant knot]

rigidbody velocity tells you which direction your RB wants to go next frame. which may or may not happen depending on what it runs into along the way

this will tell you nothing about where your RB currently is

[short hazel]

Either _material or _player (or both) don't have a value

Make sure there's a VideoPlayer on the same object as this script

[buoyant knot]

you might want to crack open the Debugger to check the values of the variables around that point in code

[queen adder]

it is

[short hazel]

Maybe you attached the script somewhere else by accident, and it's the other one throwing errors

Search for t: GlitchEffect in the Hierarchy

[queen adder]

when i press it goes to camera

[ebon skiff]

how do i fix the second plane so its not glitchy likethat

[short hazel]

Ah it's a different class name than what's shown in the Inspector

VHSPostProcessEffect

[queen adder]

so what i should do?

i am sry i new in unity

[short hazel]

Search for that in the Hierarchy

[short hazel]

Select that, and make sure there's only one instance of that script attached to this object

[queen adder]

Hello, could anyone help me with this issue? Thanks.

[queen adder]

idk what i should do

[queen adder]

i started yesterday so i dont know anything

oh

i misspeled

[short hazel]

Apply the changes to your player prefab (button at the top of the Inspector labeled "Overrides") and try again. If this fails, you'll have to perform basic debugging steps to see where the problem is.

[burnt vapor]

Configure your editor like I mentioned. Then these things would not happen

[queen adder]

thanks, i will

[queen adder]

this?

it was alredy on that

[stoic glen]

Why does a Raycast hit an Object with the Layer 6, even if the layermask excluded Layer6

[short hazel]

No you added components (which are shown with a green "+" icon on their Inspector icon, and blue bars on the left - for example the scale has been changed), so these must be applied to your prefab. The one you have in your scene is a copy

And yes, that is the correct button, click it and select "Apply all"

[short hazel]

Show how you set up your layer mask (make sure it's indeed a mask, not a single layer number)

Don't expect it to work by passing 6 to the Raycast, for example

[queen adder]

i did that

[stoic glen]

I definded the layermask at the Top

[queen adder]

but the error apears

[short hazel]

Yep that's not how they work, 6 would exclude layers 4 and 2

[languid spire]

and which layers is that?

[short hazel]

The easiest is to make that variable public and set it in the Inspector directly!

[stoic glen]

But why would 6 be 4 and 2

[short hazel]

6 in binary is 1100

[stoic glen]

No way this works with binary instad of int

[stoic glen]

it would be 110

[short hazel]

That's how the masks work, one bit for each layer. When that bit is 1, include, else ignore

[languid spire]

Read the docs, then say that

[short hazel]

upgrade and update all your packages and your unity version. Also delete your library folder and let it regenerate

[magic panther]

lemme test first before I yap

[surreal basalt]

hey

im getting error when i build the game

[ivory bobcat]

This is the beginner coding channel. The error isn't really related to code you've written. Likely there's a package error. Try asking in #💻┃unity-talk

i think they are with Odin

[languid spire]

Ok, you you are using ODIN, you might have mentioned that, and why are you not asking in their Discord?

[lilac hemlock]

because my problem is not about Odin. My dictionary works perfectly fine

It is the list that is not working

[languid spire]

But the whole SO object is controlled by Odin not just the Dictionary

[lilac hemlock]

if i change to normal scriptable object, the problem persists

[languid spire]

Ok, so the code of StatBase?

[lilac hemlock]

https://gdl.space/gekukesedu.cs

[languid spire]

So there is nothing in that class which is by default serializable

[lilac hemlock]

oh, god

i forgot that i changed accessability

[short hazel]

And it has a custom constructor so it might fail to be instantiated properly

[lilac hemlock]

and then i am wondering why nothing works

sorry, my bad

thanks

[languid spire]

good point, class needs a parameterless constructor

[lilac hemlock]

all works now

So using object is OtherObject otherObject checks for object type. I'll need to remember that

[languid spire]

Was any of this really necessary?

[magic panther]

no, so what?

[languid spire]

Spamming the channel

[magic panther]

wouldn't call this spam but alright mate

[short hazel]

Yep, and it even makes a variable otherObject that is object converted to OtherObject ready for use. It also works without the variable name at the end if you don't need it

ie. obj is OtherObject

[magic panther]

so then it'd be for a quick check

that's really useful, thanks

[spare magnet]

hello there!( i am working on a 2d game)
how big should i make my level,like whats the logic here
should i make the whole map in a single scene(adjusting everything by making everything smaller hence it will fit) or should i divide it
even if i am dividing it how big the division should be.Even an estimate would suffice
i know its a stupid question but i want to know the logic behind it .Thanks!

[queen adder]

Tell me, who is rummaging around, connected Npgsql to Unity (Nuget package for connecting PosgreSQL) and after that all Unity methods turned red IDE writes that there seems to be an error, but the code works in Unity

Before this, Unity was connected to visual studio

[short hazel]

Restart Visual Studio. Note that Unity does not support NuGet and will reset your project configuration at each restart.

[languid spire]

If you want to use NuGet packages, download them into a solution/project outside of Unity and then copy the .dll's into your project in a Plugins folder

[short hazel]

If you have a .nupkg file, then you can extract the DLLs by opening the file as a .zip file

They are just zip files with another extension

I dont know how to ask this but is there a way to get the direction of a current velocity thats relative to where the player is facing? I need this in order to plug in the Horizontal and Forward vectors into the animator for locomotion.

[wintry quarry]

transform.InverseTransformDirection to convert a world space vector to local space

[languid spire]

velocity can be used directly as a direction

Do you know how you can connect PostgreSQL to Unity using native methods?

[wintry quarry]

There are very few good reasons to do this. Why do you want to?

Use a link to a paste site like it says please @keen needle

[queen adder]

Coursework require..

[willow scroll]

You should connect Postgres to a C# project, then connect Unity to this project

[keen needle]

more than 2k characters

[wintry quarry]

I doubt your course requires a direct connection to a SQL database from Unity

[willow scroll]

Use a link.

[wintry quarry]

that's why we're telling you to use a link to one of those services. Don't make it complicated.

[short hazel]

They wanted to use NuGet but Unity obviously can't do that, so we suggested to drag-drop the DLL into the assets directly. Not sure how they came to using native methods

[fervent abyss]

how can i draw custom editor stuff ABOVE main script variables?

[wintry quarry]

Well the obvious answer here is to use less than 5000 iterations

that's 100 seconds worth of physics simulation

[willow scroll]

First draw custom editor stuff, then draw the default inspector. I think it was this way.

[wintry quarry]

Also you need to cache th9ings like LayerMask.NameToLayer("Suelo") @keen needle

Additionally rather than doing lineRenderer.positionCount++; in each iteration, you can set the position count one time at the start

since you know how many points you'll be generating

[fervent abyss]

how do i do that

[wet heath]

Anyone got any links to or know of any good tutorials on making a slightly more advanced fps ammo system? (maximum ammo, current ammo, etc.)

[wintry quarry]

more advanced than what?

[queen adder]

Ok th guys

[willow scroll]

First draw the values you need in the OnInspectorGUI method, then use the Editor.DrawDefaultInspector method.

[wet heath]

Than just shooty pew pew reload haha

[keen needle]

okeii, thanks

[wintry quarry]

That's really vague

[keen needle]

any suggestion?

[wintry quarry]

if you have specific requirements for a system you want, you should list them.

[wintry quarry]

That is the suggestion. Cache it

[polar acorn]

I mean, nothing you've explained is much more complicated than shooty pew pew reload

It's just two variables

[wet heath]

[abstract finch]

This is working thanks

[wet heath]

Idk, man, just like any basic tutorials on an ammo system out there. I've found nnone that would help me :[

[polar acorn]

What have you tried that didn't work

[wintry quarry]

So you want a basic system now?

"ammo systems" are generally very simple, it's really not something you typically spend a whole tutorial on or something

it's just basic arithmetic generally.

[polar acorn]

It's just storing one variable and comparing it to another variable

[wintry quarry]

I suspect your real struggle is not being comfortable with handling data and programming in general

[wet heath]

I've been having trouble figuring it out, dumbass brain of mine

[fervent abyss]

lol

[wintry quarry]

What are you having trouble with?

[wet heath]

Hmmn

[wintry quarry]

Maybe share what you tried and what's going wrong

[polar acorn]

So then ask a specific question about the thing you're struggling with

Another tutorial is just going to give you the same information you're already not getting, so why not ask the specific question and potentially get over whatever's blocking you

[willow scroll]

Looking fine to me. How do you draw it?

[summer stump]

public int Ammo;

public void Shoot() {
  //instantiate bullet which adds its own force in awake
  Ammo--;
}

Now. What specifics do you actually need. It's as simple as that

[fervent abyss]

PlayFabManager playFabManager = (PlayFabManager)target;

        EditorGUILayout.TextField("PlayFab ID", playFabManager.PlayFabID);
        EditorGUILayout.TextField("PlayFab Username", playFabManager.PlayerDisplayName);
        
        if(DrawDefaultInspector()){

        }

[wet heath]

Well, it's something along the lines of:

• Maximum Ammo
• Current Ammo
• Reserve Ammo

If reloading gun, ammo will be taken from Reserve Ammo, filling up Maximum Ammo. If none left, do nothing

Basically

[polar acorn]

So, make three variables that hold those values. Whenever a reload happens, do that check. Subtract current from max, find out how many to remove from reserve

[summer stump]

Ok. You just wrote the psudocode for it. Translate that

[wet heath]

The problems I've faced have been all over the place, like the math is all wrong. I dunno if it's wise to chuck a bunch of my shit code in here or not, i don't wanna have to bother everyone too much

[fervent abyss]

hey could anybody helpe me

[wintry quarry]

If you want help, you'll have to share exactly what your problem is. Otherwise we're all just vaguely talking about nothing in particular.

"the math is all wrong" what math?

In what way was it wrong?

[wet heath]

Ok but I am a beginner ofc

[stoic glen]

How can I delete an script. When I use
NewBehaviourScript nbsTemp = tempObject.GetComponent<NewBehaviourScript>(); Destroy(nbsTemp);
The script gets disabled, but the functions are still working, because of inheritance.
How can I remove it, during runtime?

[polar acorn]

Like that

That will destroy that instance of that component on that object

[stoic glen]

No it will only disable it, I don't know why IT doesnt get removed

No, that will destroy it.

If you're not seeing it being destroyed then either:
A) That is not the object you're destroying in code
B) Something else is putting it back

is visual scrpting commonly used in unity or it suck/csharp better?

[summer stump]

Sucks

Like all visual scripting. Well, some things benefit from it. Animator, shader graph, etc

[polar acorn]

Visual Scripting is specific to Unity, changing rapidly, and is almost entirely used by non-programmers. This makes it actually harder to learn visual scripting than C#, which has a monumental amount of learning material made by the people who understand it for unity and non-unity uses, and very little of it ever becomes "obsolete"

Visual Scripting suffers from the "Ketchup Packet Problem" which is that the people who make it never actually use it. C# references and libraries are made by C# programmers for C# programmers, so there's a bit of an incentive to make it sensible. Visual Scripting is made in code for people who will never use code, so the people making it have no reason to actually use it to determine if it's good or not

Hi! I'm a new Unity user and I was wondering if a "door option" such as Tarkov's would be viable to recreate in Unity. If so, how can I achieve this, and are there any resources online that can lead me towards it? ( I tried searching for it but it was mostly simple hinge-based physics doors and animation oriented doors, no mentions of the UI and how to implement it)

[ionic plank]

Hello, I have a problem with a scroll view (which is a scroll rect)
I have two differents code, one has the correct position at the end and one has the correct animation, and I want to have both ...

// The position is good !!!

    // void MovePage()
    // {
    //     Vector2 newPosition = new Vector2(targetPosition.x, levelPagesRect.anchoredPosition.y);
    //     levelPagesRect.anchoredPosition = newPosition;
    //     UpdateBar();
    //     UpdateArrowButton();
        
    // }

// The animation is good !!

    // void MovePage()
    // {
    //     Debug.Log("ici"+targetPosition);
    //     levelPagesRect.LeanMoveLocal(targetPosition, tweenTime).setEase(tweenType);
    //     UpdateBar();
    //     UpdateArrowButton();
    // }

[short hazel]

Tarkov is made with Unity, so that's definitely possible

[polar acorn]

You're going to have to actually say what "does not work" means

[rugged sail]

mm interesting

[rich egret]

The function is not called

[polar acorn]

Okay, where do you call it?

[rugged sail]

any clues on how to implement the UI? I tried with the UI feature but idk its not working as intended

[rich egret]

Honestly I'm not sure, I've watched some tutorials, it's just supposed to work when I create a room

[short hazel]

If you have issues with setting up the UI then you should ask in #📲┃ui-ux

[polar acorn]

Well if you're not calling it anywhere that would explain why it is not called

[rugged sail]

ah alright, will do. Thanks!

[ionic plank]

Hello everyone, can someone know how to help me ?

[rich egret]

It is impossible to "turn on" the function because there is override on it.
In any case, they did not show in the manuals that this should be done...

[polar acorn]

I have no idea what you mean by "turn on" a function or why override would affect that

[rich egret]

You know, call a function

And it just doesn't show up in "On Click"

[polar acorn]

It doesn't show up in OnClick because it takes a parameter type that can't be serialized in a UnityEvent

[crystal chasm]

What's Updae?

[rich egret]

I fixed it, it's not related.

[rich egret]

I have no idea what parameter is missing because I did everything fine

[polar acorn]

It's not that it's missing it's that you can't call a function of this parameter type through a UnityEvent

[ionic plank]

Hello everyone,

I am having trouble with my Scroll Level View. This view is used to display all the levels that are saved in the game. I am unable to successfully move to the next page with an animation that goes to the correct position. However, I have been able to move to the correct position without the animation and I have also been able to do the opposite. Does anyone know how to fix my issue?

Thank you in advance for your help.

// The animation is good !!

    // void MovePage()
    // {
    //     Debug.Log("ici"+targetPosition);
    //     levelPagesRect.LeanMoveLocal(targetPosition, tweenTime).setEase(tweenType);
    //     UpdateBar();
    //     UpdateArrowButton();
    // }

// The position is good !!!

    // void MovePage()
    // {
    //     Vector2 newPosition = new Vector2(targetPosition.x, levelPagesRect.anchoredPosition.y);
    //     levelPagesRect.anchoredPosition = newPosition;
    //     UpdateBar();
    //     UpdateArrowButton();
        
    // }

[spare magnet]

is it ok if i am making my gameobject script with help of chatgpt
do developer do that?or should i figure it out on my own
(i know c# well but i dont know functions like get.key(code.space)
but i just bybass learning these function throught chat gpt)

[polar acorn]

You should check the documentation because there's nothing called get.key(code.space)

https://docs.unity.com/

[spare magnet]

sorry
Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Space)

i was giving an example
like yeah i dont know the syntax of these function but throigh chat gpt i can make it work XD

[polar acorn]

So look them up

Documentation is almost always top of the search for basically any question, and you dont have to worry about the documentation hallucinating functions that don't exist

[ionic plank]

Am I in the wrong place to ask my question ?

[polar acorn]

If anyone knows it they'll answer it.

#📲┃ui-ux might be a better place for it though

[spare magnet]

Cool thanks

[wintry quarry]

inheritance is defintely not relevant here.

destroying a component:

• Doesn't remove it from any lists
• Doesn't remove any references you have to it.

[rugged sail]

@short hazel actually got it done for once, thanks!

[rugged sail]

nothing too crazy or flashy, but it works for now so i got that to thank for 😄

[dreamy junco]

Is somebody able to answer a Unity related question?
I’ve modified Flappy Bird. I followed a tutorial by Game Maker’s Toolkit. He suggested adding pressure plates. Because I thought it was easier I only allowed the player to get a point, if it activated the pressure plate. When the player flies through the pipes, the possibility oft he player gettiing the point. Code followes.
private void OnTriggerEnter2D (Collider2D collision)
{
if (collision.gameObject.layer == 6)
{
plateActive = true;
Debug.Log("Treffer!");
this.gameObject.GetComponent<SpriteRenderer>().sprite = ActivePlate;
}
}
private void OnTriggerEnter2D(Collider2D collision)
{
if (collision.gameObject.layer == 3 && active.plateActive && status.birdIsAlive)
{
logic.addScore(1);
active.plateActive = false;
Debug.Log("Punkt erzielt!");
}
}
The problem is that it seems to be random, when the player gets the point. The player activates the plate and flies through the pipe, but it doesn’t get the point. At the first pipe the player always gets the point, if the plate is active. Then the player doesn’t get the point 3 times, then it almost workes and then it gets the point even though the plate isn’t even active.
Layer 6 is the arrow, and Layer 3 is the bird. The first script is owned by the plate and the second one by the middle of the pipe. And I read through the log, and it seems, like "plateActive" gets set to true, then it keeps beeing false and than it changes like every frame from false to true.

Hi, I am seeing the OnTriggerEnter2D function twice, is that 1 script or code from multiple scripts?

[dreamy junco]

multiple

the first one is from the plate the second is from the middle of the pipe

[umbral bough]

ok, my advice, try using OnTriggerExit2D

look into it, that function gets called when you exit a trigger

so that way, you could set the active bool to false once you pass the pipe instead

[molten dock]

how do i have the game totally restart on player death

[umbral bough]

look into reloading scenes, you will have to reset static things manually(if any are present) but that's about it

[rugged sail]

maybe the OnTrigger2D is being called multiple times in a single frame, which causes the plateActive to switch true false true false true false. try adding a cooldown period after plateActive is set to true, so that it cant be set to false?

[molten dock]

yeah its a static issue i think

[summer stump]

What does that mean?

[umbral bough]

you gotta have a function that would reset all the static values when restarting the scene

[molten dock]

Okay

i can do dat

swag

[summer stump]

Are you using statics?

[molten dock]

yes

[umbral bough]

he probably has a singleton that isn't set up properly/made some static vars in his script that he isn't resetting

[summer stump]

For what? Because generally that is not good. Singletons should be fine

[rugged sail]

   void Update()
    {
        if (!status.playerDead)
        {
            RestartGame();
        }
    }

    void RestartGame()
    {
        SceneManager.LoadScene(SceneManager.GetActiveScene().name);
    }
}

sumn like this?

[umbral bough]

look into singletons as suggested, they are quite useful

[molten dock]

i have a static for player health which i gotta acsess between scenes

have a static to detect stuns

[summer stump]

Use a singleton instead. That is not a good use for static

[umbral bough]

ok, reset that value on player respawn then

[summer stump]

That is also not good for static

[molten dock]

have a static i use to load scenes based on its value

[umbral bough]

you'll learn through practice when to use static vars

but they should generally be avoided when possible

but from your messages, it seems like you desparately need a singleton

[molten dock]

singletons look too complicated

[umbral bough]

infallible code has an excellent vid on it

[umbral bough]

nothing is complicated, you just gotta dedicate some time to learn it

[rugged sail]

honestly, is this code correct? idk goin thru an imposter syndrome type shi rn

[umbral bough]

and once you do, it'll feel awesome

[eternal needle]

If a singleton is too complicated, I got some bad news on how complicated full games are

[molten dock]

its just not what i need since i have all these statics

[umbral bough]

correct? likely, good? debatable

[umbral bough]

you'd probably want to avoid using update for that

[umbral bough]

that sounds like a perfect reason you would need it

[rugged sail]

oo interesting

[molten dock]

what

[rugged sail]

why’s that eh

[stone saddle]

@wintry quarry

[umbral bough]

why check constantly, you would have a PlayerDie() function so just call the scene restart there

[rugged sail]

oh that’s true

[wintry quarry]

Do you have interpolation enabled for your Rigidbody?

[stone saddle]

yes

collision detection is also continuous

[dreamy junco]

    void Update()
    {
        if (timer <= 0.25f)
        {
            pipeCooldown = true;
        }

        else
        {
            timer += Time.deltaTime;
        }
    }

    private void OnTriggerExit2D(Collider2D collision)
    {
        if (collision.gameObject.layer == 3 && active.plateActive && status.birdIsAlive)
        {
            logic.addScore(1);
            active.plateActive = false;
            Debug.Log("Punkt erzielt!");
            timer = 0;
        }
    }
}

Now I’ve changed Enter to Exit and added a cooldown, but my problem is still the same.

[wintry quarry]

how is your camera follow working?

[wintry quarry]

What is your problem? What are you trying to do with this code?

[dreamy junco]

I told you about the problem earlier, scroll up.

[stone saddle]

i have a pixel perfect camera and another simple one that i found online ```using UnityEngine;

public class CameraMovement : MonoBehaviour
{
public Transform target; // Reference to the player's transform
public float smoothSpeed = 4f; // camera smoothness
private Vector3 velocity = Vector3.zero;

private void FixedUpdate()
{
    if (target != null)
    {
        // Create a target position with the same x-coordinate as the player and the camera's current y and z coordinates
        Vector3 targetPosition = new Vector3(target.position.x, transform.position.y, transform.position.z);

        Vector3 smoothedPosition = Vector3.SmoothDamp(transform.position, targetPosition, ref velocity, smoothSpeed);
        transform.position = smoothedPosition;
    }
}

}

[wintry quarry]

Your camera movement is happening in FixedUpdate

so obviously it will be jittery

[summer stump]

Singletons are super simple. But not necessary if you don't want. Either way, just get rid of all those static variables
They are completely unnecessary and harmful to your code in the way you are using them

[stone saddle]

i tried changing it to update and lateUpdate but i didnt see any changes

the camera itself isnt jittery, but the player looks to be moving between pixels when moving at full speed

like its stuck between and the camera keeps switching between positions

[wintry quarry]

The FixedUpdate thing is a problem. it might not be your only problem, but it's a problem

this absolutely belongs in LateUpdate

[stone saddle]

that makes sense, not sure why i left it like that

[molten dock]

infallable code is just telling me how much they suck

[stone saddle]

do you know anything about the other issues?

[molten dock]

are u using deltatime

[wintry quarry]

From the video teh camera was definitely jittery - you can see it in the parallax background and everything

[summer stump]

Well, people can be wrong 🤷‍♂️
Dunno who tf infallible code is, but they are wrong

[wintry quarry]

but the player itself being jittery would be a consequence of not having interpolation enabled

[wintry quarry]

As for the wall climbing thing it's a little unclear how that';s working. Seems like another script is involved there

Namely TouchingDirections

[stone saddle]

most of the code in there was from a youtube tutorial, havent messed with it in a while#

[molten dock]

i thought that was you who told me to watch his video but naw

[stone saddle]

i changed it to late and made sure it was on interpolate (i just switched between the options to see what difference it made)

[wintry quarry]

I would guess your problem is basically this:

IsOnWall = touchingCol.Cast(wallCheckDirection, castFilter, wallHits, wallDistance) > 0;```
You have some buffer distance `wallDistance` at which you detect the wall and then you probably stop moving. Rightfully you would want to probably teleport your character directly to be in contact with the wall or something at that point, or at least use the `distance` from the RaycastHit2D to move into the wall.

[wintry quarry]

I think your background parallax script may also have an issue too

is that running on FixedUpdate too?

[stone saddle]

thank you, ill fix that

[stone saddle]

i dont think so lemme check

public class ParallaxEffect : MonoBehaviour
{
    public Transform cameraTransform;
    public float parallaxFactor = 0.5f; // Adjust this value to control parallax effect strength

    private Vector3 startPosition;
    private float initialZ;

    private void Start()
    {
        startPosition = transform.position;
        initialZ = transform.position.z;
    }

    private void Update()
    {
        float parallaxOffsetX = (cameraTransform.position.x - startPosition.x) * parallaxFactor;
        float parallaxOffsetY = (cameraTransform.position.y - startPosition.y) * parallaxFactor;

        Vector3 newPosition = startPosition + new Vector3(parallaxOffsetX, parallaxOffsetY, 0);
        transform.position = new Vector3(newPosition.x, newPosition.y, initialZ);
    }
}

[willow scroll]

It's not

This is the Update method

[stone saddle]

i thought that the jittery-ness was a result of the pixel perfect camera

i mean

[willow scroll]

It's caused by not using Time.deltaTime

[wintry quarry]

you probably want this in LateUpdate too - maybe even script-execution-ordered to be after the camera script.

This script shouldn't need any deltaTime, since it's directly driving the parallax based on the exact current camera position

it looks like it's designed to absolutely only happen after the camera position is determined though

Hence this recommendation: #💻┃code-beginner message

[stone saddle]

yeah, i started this with absolutely no c# knowledge

[willow scroll]

Oh, right. It's just the offset being applied, but not constantly added

[willow scroll]

Have you written the code by yourself?

[stone saddle]

some things yes, other things from youtube tutorials

but i found the tutorials to be

not great

[willow scroll]

Alright, as PraetorBlue has said, put this into LateUpdate instead of Update

And you can make a Vector2 out of these paralaxxOffset floats

[stone saddle]

i think its still jittery but i cant tell if its because of the camera or not

[molten dock]

can you simply explain what the difference is between static and singleton

[polar acorn]

A singleton makes use of a static reference to a specific instance

[willow scroll]

Have you put it in LateUpdate yet?

[summer stump]

A singleton is an enforced single object that exists. It usually uses a static variable of its own type to access itself

This will help you avoid needing to access values that are static

[stone saddle]

yeah

[molten dock]

does not compute with me

[summer stump]

https://unity.huh.how/references

[polar acorn]

It ties the data to a specific instance that can be serialized, disposed of, etc.
It lets you control the lifespan of statically accessible data as opposed to them just always existing no matter what

[summer stump]

Look at the singleton link in there

[willow scroll]

Are you sure the jiterring is not caused by the camera's script?

[stone saddle]

it might be, how can i tell?

[willow scroll]

Do you have a camera script?

[stone saddle]

yeah

[polar acorn]

Static variables always exist. A static reference can be null, which means the object doesn't exist. Many types of data can't be null, and storing an int with a value of 0 takes as much space as storing one with a value of 2,147,483,647. A static variable needs to keep that allocated all the time. Would you rather one pointer to an object, or every single variable and property that object would otherwise have

[stone saddle]

its been changed to lateUpdate now

[polar acorn]

Singletons are considered an anti-pattern in general programming, but can be very useful in specifically game programming where you want as little data as possible to be persistent. It's still drastically better than just using static variables for everything

And if your alternative is having every single object use Find of some sort to get the instance to your object that would otherwise be a singleton, that is much worse than just using a singleton

[dreamy junco]

is there an easy way to avoid blur from scaled objects in unity

[wintry quarry]

"scaled objects" are not usually a source of "blur"

[polar acorn]

blur?

[wintry quarry]

Maybe elaborate a bit?

also what does this have to do with code?

[willow scroll]

So the both camera and the ParallaxEffect are moved in LateUpdate?

[stone saddle]

yes

[willow scroll]

And this does cause the jitter?

The camera shouldn't be jittering, right?

So that's the ParallaxEffect

[dreamy junco]

this blur of the bird and the pipes

[stone saddle]

yeah i think the camera is fine now, but the player is still jittering between pixels

[dreamy junco]

and i wanted to showcase that the code doesn't work

[wintry quarry]

You mean the stretching of your texture?

[willow scroll]

The player's movement is adjusted by the ParallaxEffect script, right?

[dreamy junco]

yes

it's blurred
