How can I use OnMouseOver function?

[hexed terrace]

by typing it out?

Check the docs for it

[modest dust]

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/MonoBehaviour.OnMouseOver.html

[carmine elm]

I can t find the function. It dosen t show up when i type it.

[modest dust]

You don't find it, you just type it out in your script (and if it doesn't auto-complete then configure your IDE as shown below)

Same deal as with Update or Awake

[carmine elm]

i have it configured

[hexed terrace]

well, I'm sure you can finish typing the rest of the method name yourself

[carmine elm]

is not really working

[hexed terrace]

explain yourself

[solar charm]

anyone knows where is the problem here?

[carmine elm]

i mean if i go over the gameobject with the cursor it dose nothing

[hexed terrace]

at the end, that bit that is underlined in red

[hexed terrace]

ok, what should it be doing? What code have you written?

[solar charm]

you dont say xd, but i meant how to fix it

[modest dust]

; before *

[carmine elm]

to check if it works i just use print"smh"

[hexed terrace]

Read the error -> understand the error (probably google it) -> change what it wants

[solar charm]

OH MY FREAKING GOD IM SO STUPID

[hexed terrace]

this isn't valid code

[carmine elm]

i know

[modest dust]

Did you read the documentation?

[carmine elm]

yes

[modest dust]

Show your gameobject

[modest dust]

Is that all?

[carmine elm]

and the script

[hexed terrace]

where is the script.

box colliders aren't for UI

UI scale should always be left at 1,1,1.. use the width/ height to size UI elements correctly

[carmine elm]

Ok but what should i do, i can t use that function on UI

[hexed terrace]

Use one of the correct UI funtions

The button component has on hover events, or you can use IPointerEnter/ Exit.. etc

google -> unity UI how to detect mouse over

[carmine elm]

thanks

[manic sphinx]

im trying with playerprefs it is okay???

i mean, when i hit the chests they are opening all the time

``` when using the IPointer Handlers the Image Component acts as the collider..
the only thing you need is a `GraphicRaycaster` component on the Canvas GameObject
and to make sure `RaycastTarget` is ticked on the `Image` component

[topaz mortar]

Is this possible? Where character is assigned through the inspector?

...
Character = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Character>(characterJSON);

[burnt vapor]

You can use Scriptable Objects which are basically made for this

[topaz mortar]

no I'm wondering if it's possible to overwrite an existing object with JsonConvert.DeserializeObject

[burnt vapor]

Sure, why not?

But why overwrite something you assigned?

Why not just reassign through the inspector?

[topaz mortar]

the json is coming from my server

[burnt vapor]

You can overwrite data, yes. Would be weird if you could not

The only reason why it would not be possible is if the field you try to replace has the readonly keyword, or if the property you try to replace has the init keyword

Also, unrelated style note, private fields usually start with an underscore and use camelcase

[topaz mortar]

I don't like starting all my variables with _ too annoying to type

[burnt vapor]

I disagree but feel free to learn your own style

In your case I would confuse it with a property for example

[fervent abyss]

OculusSDKManagerMini.GetOculusUserData(r => {

        }, x = () => {});

im trying to do this lambda expression for Action (event) that has no parameters, and i get an error "The name 'x' does not exist in the current context"

[gaunt ice]

the expression x = () => {} first assign x to lambda expression () => {} then returns x

[burnt vapor]

Because what is x supposed to be?

This local variable is never assigned

[gaunt ice]

if you didnt declare x, then ofc does not exist

[burnt vapor]

Instead, remove x = and it should be fine as an Action like you mentioned

[fervent abyss]

ohhhhhhhhhhhhh

thansk

[topaz mortar]

that's why attributes are CamelCase and properties are camelCase
Am I using that right?

[burnt vapor]

Attributes? What do you think an attribute is if I may ask?

[topaz mortar]

_ is just hard to reach on my keyboard lol

[burnt vapor]

And properties should be pascal case

[topaz mortar]

guess the correct name would be field 😛

[burnt vapor]

Thought so

I believe technically public fields should be pascal case and private fields should have an underscore

[topaz mortar]

belgian azerty kinda sucks lol

I'll switch to QWERTY when I buy a new keyboard an rework my entire codbase 😅

[languid spire]

will you please stop with the style police. There is NO technical reason for coding conventions and nothing is 'should' there is only 'could'

[burnt vapor]

Didn't read the conversation?

[languid spire]

yes, I read it, and I'm sick and tired of reading this crap time and time again

[burnt vapor]

A few messages up it was merely a suggestion after I helped Pasc, who chose to continue the conversation

Cool down a bit 😎

[topaz mortar]

yeah I found it interesting, it's easy if everyone uses the same coding conventions

[languid spire]

you are the one pontificating about how others 'should' be doing things, not me

[burnt vapor]

If these things are not appreciated then I'm sure they can say that themselves instead of having somebody else point it out.
Also, surely you can notice it is a "suggestion" and not required? They can learn their own style. This was also pointed out.

[robust pecan]

Would it be good practice to create a class to hold an InputActionAsset? I've done like this and just wondering if it's something that could come and bite me later on-

[spare kayak]

I use PascalCase for everything lol

[robust pecan]

The function is static so it can't reach "this"

[languid spire]

my bad

make a parameterless constructor to do the same

[smoky bobcat]

I'm definitely a C# beginner. I'll hang out here for a while and see what I can learn.

[spare kayak]

[languid spire]

Embeded monobehaviour class, I dont think that will work

[spare kayak]

Oops i meant to reply to this guy @burnt vapor

[robust pecan]

i think it does work, It creates the gameobject instance and attaches the script, it also loads the InputActionAsset and enables it as it should

[languid spire]

Also AssetDatabase is Editor only, so that cannot be in Awake

[robust pecan]

Hmmm, so it wouldnt work if i built it?

[languid spire]

no

[burnt vapor]

A tier list? 🤔

[robust pecan]

how'd I do that so it'd work in a build?

[languid spire]

you'd need to use Resources.Load

[spare kayak]

Sorry i didn't mean from A-F

[spare kayak]

I mean from 1 to (last nunber)

Since most would be F

Unless i do a Grey and do FS, FA, FB, FC, FE, and FF

Everything under snake_case is an F basically IMO

[robust pecan]

Okay! Will look into that

~~Uff, I moved my Steam Manager script from one game object to another and now I'm getting this error:

Steamworks.InteropHelp.TestIfAvailableClient () (at Assets/com.rlabrecque.steamworks.net/Runtime/InteropHelp.cs:34)
Steamworks.SteamUser.GetAuthTicketForWebApi (System.String pchIdentity) (at Assets/com.rlabrecque.steamworks.net/Runtime/autogen/isteamuser.cs:205)
InfiniteForestIdle.SteamLogin.SignInWithSteam () (at Assets/Scripts/SteamLogin.cs:45)
InfiniteForestIdle.SteamLogin.Awake () (at Assets/Scripts/SteamLogin.cs:31)```
No idea why or how it broke, anyone got a clue?
It was working perfectly for months, but after the move it broke~~

Nvm, version control saved my life, wonder what happend though!

[robust pecan]

Moved the it into a folder i named "Resources" but it cannot seem to find the as it logs out "Null"

private void Start()
{
    actions = Resources.Load<InputActionAsset>("Inputs/MainControlls.inputactions");
    Debug.Log(actions);
    actions.Enable();
}

[polar acorn]

Don't include extensions when using resources

[languid spire]

because you did not bother to read the Resources.load documentation

[polar acorn]

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Resources.Load.html

[robust pecan]

Yeah my bad-

[robust pecan]

Thanks!

[drowsy oriole]

I need help I have this error thats not linked to a script so Idk how to fix it

[ivory bobcat]

It says something was null. Is it from an asset or something you've got in the scene?

[topaz mortar]

Does restarting Unity fix it?
Might just be unity itself, not sure if it's this error, it used to happen constantly a few months back

[final totem]

how can i get that for my public floats?

[drowsy oriole]

idk i made a mistake in my game and it broke something so I went to my last update asset ripped it and no matter what i have that error

[drowsy oriole]

no

[languid spire]

write a custom inspector

[drowsy oriole]

no i always have this error

[languid spire]

that makes no sense, explain exactly what you did

[ivory bobcat]

You'll need to explain what mistake it was and what you did to attempt to fix this mistake.

[red siren]

You can use the [Range] attribute, check this out : https://learn.unity.com/tutorial/attributes

[haughty tide]

I am having a probelm with vs code, it loads the highlighting correctly at first but few seconds later it loads some incorrect thing

does anyone know what is causing this or how tof ix it

[rocky canyon]

u need to install/ update ur .Net SDK

if ur talkin about that little divider.. idk

[haughty tide]

why did it work yesterday though

[languid spire]

at a guess, something has updated itself and you have lost the path to dotnet in your environment settings

[haughty tide]

vs code did an update and windows updated and it broke grammarly as well

so something happened

[languid spire]

well there you go, why am I not surprised, thank you MS

[warped ginkgo]

I have a question, lets say we have two objects, a parent and a child object. Both have trigger colliders. The parent object has a script attached to it that has a OnTriggerEnter function. Will the OnTriggerEnter function be called, if something hits ONLY the child collider?

[rocky canyon]

if it has a rigidbody it combines the two into a composite collider

[warped ginkgo]

only the parent has rigidbody

[rocky canyon]

thast what im talkin about

[warped ginkgo]

oh okay

[hexed terrace]

physics events get sent to the first/ closest (hierarchy) Rigidbody

[gray elk]

How do you export a c# file as a zip?

[rocky canyon]

right click it in the file explorer > Send To > Compressed Folder/FIle

or New >

[gray elk]

Thank you!

Is this through Unity or Visual Studio?

[rocky canyon]

File Explorer.

ur basic windows folder viewer type thingy

[warped ginkgo]

Okay so, if I want the child colliders not to call the OnTriggerEnter function on the parent object, do I just attach a rigidbody to the child object?

[waxen cypress]

If im gonna make a keypad lock in Maya. Should I make each individual key a separate model and then in Unity I parent then keys to the base and then code each button to have its own collider and script to which will then unlock the keypad if correct order is put in?

[rocky canyon]

not sure offhand, never needed to do that.

[real rock]

Iirc yes

Just mess with the rb settings so it doesn’t try to do funky things

[rocky canyon]

yes, each key should be a different mesh.. but it doesn't need to be a different model all together..

the Collection would act as the parent.. and each mesh would be a child object.. once imported into unity

[warped ginkgo]

Okay yeah, it seems to be working, which is nice. Thank you

[hushed hinge]

uhh... hello?

[real rock]

Nws, can’t even remember what scuffed thing I did to need that

[waxen cypress]

Oh so, even if multiple objects are in one model, Unity will still separate the meshes into their own object.

[rocky canyon]

as long as they are different meshes in blender yes

[waxen cypress]

I use maya but same thing I guess.

[rocky canyon]

yea, i figure it will work the same

[hexed terrace]

this is a code chanel, what's the code question?

[waxen cypress]

Alright thx.

[real rock]

Also idk what you’re doing but individual colliders may not be necessary

[hushed hinge]

should i put it somewhere else?

[rocky canyon]

#💻┃unity-talk for general unity stuff

if its more specific than that.. there might be another channel

[hexed terrace]

if it's not a code question, then, yes.. put it in the correct channel

looks like a question for #💻┃unity-talk though

[haughty tide]

it's still kinda broken, but less broken

it still loads correctly for the first fwe secnds and then breaks to this

[wind raptor]

How do I change the font in the inspector? Preferably for a single element or script

[rich adder]

probably more trouble than its worth

but its global..

Does anyone have a tutorial by any chance how to make snap zones trigger an event. For example, like a drawer opening or a door.

[rich adder]

snap zones ? whats that

[waxen cypress]

For VR. So if I move an object over a certain spot, the second I let go, it will snap into that location.

[rich adder]

ohh its VR specific, haven't worked on that fully yet :\

Hi i want to create a Quiz game with a Json file. I watched brackey tutorials but i have an error with the Json question loading. is there someone who can help me ?

[wintry quarry]

Unity JSONUtility doesn't support naked arrays

It must be wrapped in an object

[magic jungle]

what are naked arrays ? how can i fix it ?

[real rock]

(Aside from this) Is there any reason you’d use JSONUtility over newtonsoft?

[burnt vapor]

Nope

You can use it to ensure your object can be serialized by Unity itself if that is of any interest

If you dont have a specific reason, please just use Newtonsoft

[magic jungle]

what's newtonsoft ?
I usually worked on Godot and JSON but i have a project that godot can't run well ( FMV )
and i make this project for training UI/Json with unity.

[real rock]

Newtonsoft is a much nicer system for reading and writing to json

[magic jungle]

alright thanks i'll check that 🙂

[burnt vapor]

It has easy Unity support

[real rock]

You can just using newtonsoft.smthorother btw

[burnt vapor]

System.Text.Json is even better but hard to implement in Unity due to lack of support

[hexed terrace]

Unity has a newtonsoft package now

[real rock]

Oh they made it a package? What version is that?

[magic jungle]

should i install something or is it by default in unity ?

[burnt vapor]

Its a package you need to download

[magic jungle]

Okay

[burnt vapor]

Syntax is about the same between the two

[magic jungle]

Thanks you so much everyone ! 🙂

[cinder helm]

hi, got a question, have a timer (on a canvas) that runs through my different levels and stops at the last level's completion, then displays the final time on a separate end canvas
however, despite using debug.log to show that all the functions are running, the final time is not displayed

timer code: https://paste.ofcode.org/G4jFC8Ni7UA4pNzTjmGN6c (component of first canvas)
code to display timer: https://paste.ofcode.org/mtsTGpjfkhggNaFViTyvaN (component of end canvas)

[polar acorn]

TimeManager is a DDOL object that'll persist between scenes, but timerText likely isn't, so when you try to update that text in the next scene it's not going to exist any more

[cinder helm]

the timer does exist between the different scenes, the only issue is that once it stops, that final time isnt displayed

unless im not understanding what you're saying correctly

[polar acorn]

Right, because the text you're updating to display it is on the original scene. The object you've assigned to timerText in the inspector is going to be in the first scene. You'll update that text, but when you change scenes, that object no longer exists to view it

[chrome tide]

is it possible to set a timescale value for only 1 object, so that only this object will be affected by the timescale while other objects won't be affected?

[wintry quarry]

An array as the root of the json

Instead of being wrapped in an object

As I said the fix is to wrap it with an object

[polar acorn]

Make a float on that object, and any time you use Time.deltaTime in code, also multiply your local timescale factor

[chrome tide]

fine, thank you

[wintry quarry]

Unity's serializer is faster. But it has limitations

[hushed hinge]

should i go back to the topic of the player respawn issue as to why the player can't move and the health doesn't go back to full?

[cinder helm]

ahhh right, so how would i go about ensuring that is displayed on the final canvas; calling on the finalised time?

[polar acorn]

It'd probably be better to have a script on the text object that pulls data from this object and updates itself

rather than having this object change the text on a referenced text

[hushed hinge]

I think i notced one of the reasons why is that when the player dies and respawns, the gameobject of the player disappears in checkpoint script

[polar acorn]

Are the objects referenced by the checkpoint script destroyed

[molten dock]

i like the background

[molten dock]

this means you are probably destroying it

[hushed hinge]

thank you

[white glade]

Hello,
Any idea of how to check if the mouse was hovering a UI Element ?
I tried using the pointerData but it doesn't work,
I also tried this method

        Ray ray = Camera.main.ScreenPointToRay(Input.mousePosition);

        if (Physics.Raycast(ray, out RaycastHit hitInfo)) {
            Debug.Log("Hit object: " + hitInfo.transform);
            if (hitInfo.transform == transform) {
                Debug.Log("Hi");
            }
        }

but nothing happened also.

[molten dock]

need a collider on the UI element first

[white glade]

I have one already

[hushed hinge]

hmm.. well... it's not in don'tdestroyonexit and spawnsa. new player

[polar acorn]

Easiest way for UI is to use the PointerHandler interfaces
https://docs.unity3d.com/2019.1/Documentation/ScriptReference/EventSystems.IPointerEnterHandler.html

[polar acorn]

If the scene restarts, everything in the scene is destroyed and respawned

[white glade]

Does it need a colider too ?

[hushed hinge]

well... it supposed to be like respawn new player when the player dies and respawns

[polar acorn]

No, as long as it has a UI element with "Raycast Target" checked

[swift crag]

https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.ugui@1.0/api/UnityEngine.EventSystems.IPointerEnterHandler.html for the newer docs (UI got pulled into its own package a while ago)

[hushed hinge]

it just the player that respawns, along with the enemies

[swift crag]

and yes -- UI raycasting is entirely separate from 3D/2D physics

[polar acorn]

So, is the player object destroyed?

[molten dock]

do you need to restart the scene or just respawn the player

[swift crag]

(although I think you can allow physics colliders to block ui raycasts, but that's a separate matter)

[hushed hinge]

well... I think so since the new player object when it respawns have the word (clone) in it

[hushed hinge]

just respawn the player. is respawning a scene a thing?

[white glade]

I have it as a game object,
it's like a item template for an inventory

[polar acorn]

So then your checkpoint script is likely not referencing the new object

[polar acorn]

You'll want to check the actual UI element, like Text or Image or whatever is actually drawn

They all have it by default

[hushed hinge]

should i show the checkpoint script?

[molten dock]

i think u could teleport that gameobject back rather than destroying and spawning a new one, then it would keep the reference

[swift crag]

you need to have a UI component added to the game object. A game object by itself doesn't do anything.

[polar acorn]

Probably.

[swift crag]

(even though it has a RectTransform and is on the UI layer)

[white glade]

Ok, I am gonna try

[swift crag]

it's like trying to do a physics raycast against a game object with no components on it

[hushed hinge]

https://gdl.space/otupupiyos.cs

[polar acorn]

So, nothing sets player and player2 other than dragging them in

so if the objects that used to be referenced are destroyed, it no longer has them to reference

[hushed hinge]

it worked beforehand a long time ago but after getting help here, it no longer works. ´

[molten dock]

dang what happened lol

[white glade]

so Now if I do a Raycast I should check if the hitInfo.transform == the image.transform?

[solar charm]

anyone knows why this isnt working?

[wintry quarry]

I would guess it's simply not running

Because you probably haven't created the conditions required for it to run

[robust pecan]

Do you have an collider for the bullet set to trigger?

[solar charm]

im not sure hold up ill go check, i was just following a tutorial

[wintry quarry]

Ok then you skipped something from the tutorial

You need a Rigidbody2D

And a Collider2D on both objects

And at least on of them needs to be a trigger

[robust pecan]

The Is Trigger needs to be checked

[solar charm]

yep both of them have colliders and rigidbodies

both checked

[hushed hinge]

then... should i changed that into something else than gameobject?

[wintry quarry]

Show us

[solar charm]

WAIT I FOUND IT

THANK YOU THICCTAPEMAN

[robust pecan]

No worries

[robust pecan]

what was the problem?-

[solar charm]

well im not sure cuz im still talking but i THINK its that i didnt set it as "is trigger"

ill check the bullet rn

[wintry quarry]

The other thing probably shouldn't be a trigger

Just the bullet

But you told us "both checked" before lol

[solar charm]

yeah i meant this

[wintry quarry]

😭

[robust pecan]

Oh you hadnt activated the collider

[robust pecan]

AGREED

[wintry quarry]

No it was enabled

[solar charm]

STOP BULLING MEEEE 😭

[wintry quarry]

But that's not what matters

[molten dock]

has anyone else had objects become invisible in the scene view but visible ingame

[wintry quarry]

Also if this is a screenshot from your project you're using the wrong Colliders

That's a 3D Collider

[solar charm]

its not i took it from thicc's SS

[wintry quarry]

Probably just not in the right place

[hushed hinge]

#💻┃code-beginner message this is the code

[wintry quarry]

Also not a code question

[molten dock]

where should i put it

[molten dock]

i think you should teleport the player gameobject to the respawn position rather than destroying and creating a new one

[robust pecan]

Maybe I'm just tired, but why wont this work?

Transform trans = camera;
trans.rotation = Quaternion.Euler(0, cameraCinemachine.m_XAxis.Value + 180, 0); //Turns the -180 - 180 range into 0 - 360
cameraMoveDelta = trans.TransformDirection(new Vector3(movementInput.x, 0, movementInput.y));

[molten dock]

im not sure how to add instantiated objects into the editor

[wintry quarry]

Define "won't work"?

[hushed hinge]

but how do i do that?

[robust pecan]

Oh yeah sorry, was a little brief, but it only moves along the X axis, it should move along X and Z

[dusty zinc]

hey im trying to make a 2d game where my 2d guy has a shield projected infront of him. but every time i start to move the shield drifts away from the character. is this because they both had ridgid bodies? how can i fix this

[wintry quarry]

This code doesn't look like it would move anything. Just rotate

[molten dock]

did you write the code or is it from a tutorial

[robust pecan]

My misstake again, it moves later using this,

moveVel = Vector2.Lerp(moveVel, cameraMoveDelta, Time.deltaTime * movementAcceleration);

cameraTarget.position += new Vector3(moveVel.x * movementSpeed, 0, moveVel.y * movementSpeed);

[wintry quarry]

Vector2.Lerp will of course not work with Z

It will cut the Z off completely

[hushed hinge]

it was way back then back at my school about game designing, my teacher helped me with this code and since i don't go there anymore, and it was months ago. idk why it's not working anymore after getting much help from here for some things

[robust pecan]

Makes so much sense now...

[molten dock]

is lastCheckpoint the transform which you move your new player to currently

[hushed hinge]

I... think so? but it's from player2d script, I don't know, it was a long time ago

[molten dock]

assuming that script is attatched to the player

i think u wanna do transform.position = lastCheckpoint.position

just check what lastCheckpoint is

[hushed hinge]

in plyaer2d script, the only part where it says lastCheckpoint is
public checkpoint lastCheckpoint;

[molten dock]

it would be a good idea to know alittle about how your code works lol

[hushed hinge]

https://gdl.space/wuzorifide.cs this is the player code

[hushed hinge]

aren't i supposed to not be a gameobject?

[molten dock]

what does that mean

[hushed hinge]

i meant aren't i supposed to respawn the player as the same and now a new one? (even though it worked beforehand)

[molten dock]

i think lastCheckpoint is another script

[hushed hinge]

it's not another script

[molten dock]

what is it then

[hushed hinge]

i don't know, it's just a word right next to the public checkpoint in player2d script(checkpoint which is the script)

[deft grail]

what is checkpoint

also if you dont know then you should learn what you are writing, if you are that is

[hushed hinge]

i said it's the script

[deft grail]

and how do variables work?

what is lastCheckpoint then

[hushed hinge]

i said I don't know. it was a long time ago since last time i was in the checkpoint script. everything worked before but not anymore

[rich adder]

we already see that in the code, thats not what they asked

[deft grail]

lastCheckpoint is the variable name of type checkpoint which is also public

[rich adder]

so what changed since then ?

things don't magically break on their own

[hushed hinge]

i don't know. i don't know why it's not working anymore after all the help i got on other stuff

[molten dock]

can you show whats in the inspector of the player2D script

[rich adder]

well "other stuff" has affected this, you have to recall what might have changed.

and what is happening instead ?

[robust pecan]

Aside from the code, how do you get such fancy boxes around the text?

[deft grail]

1 ` on each side

you can also do 3 for a code block, !code

Thanks!

[hushed hinge]

I don't know! other stuff is when i got help from here with other scripts of why things are not working. how should i know why it's not working anymore?

[robust pecan]

I knew about that, just didn't know how to get a smaller box like you had-

[deft grail]

then you should learn what your doing instead of doing it randomly

[rich adder]

By tracing back the steps that got you here

[molten dock]

that lastCheckpoint box is empty

[hushed hinge]

i don't know why, i never even touched the checkpoint scripts when duringthese things

[rich adder]

there is no way you got this far into developing this and still are confused how all this works..

[rich adder]

yeah but since you have so much spaghetti, not surpised if changing something unrelated broke it

remember when I warned about keeping too many of the same functionality into multiple scripts

[molten dock]

if you dont know how it works then u shouldnt be so certain that lastCheckpoint isnt a script

i think its gotta be

[hushed hinge]

that is not the issue

[languid spire]

HOW SHOULD I KNOW. How dare you!!!!!!!! Are you the developer or not? It is your responsibility to know

[hushed hinge]

don't yell at me like that... I highly don't know why it's not working anymore after other things i got help from here. and I never even touched the checkpint script and other things for it during that

[molten dock]

you reference lastCheckpoint 6 times in your checkpoint script so it probably is an issue lol

[rich adder]

can you better explain what is happening instead of vs what you expect ?

[hushed hinge]

when the player dies and respawn (a ne wplayer object) I'm not able to move anymore and the health bar is not back to full

[polar acorn]

So, what code moves the player, and what code refills the health bar

[molten dock]

their newly instantated player is not being assigned in the inspector

[hushed hinge]

that line is the only thing in player2d script with the word lastCheckpoint

[hushed hinge]

but it wworked before tht player respawns and that i can move and the health bear is back to full

[molten dock]

so i was saying that they should transform the current players position to the last checkpoint instead

[rich adder]

you not remember when I said just resetting the player instead of creating new one would be easier

so you dont break all your references

[molten dock]

but i dont think they know how to tell where the last checkpoint is

[rich adder]

isnt that the whole point of lastCheckpoint

[polar acorn]

This is a very very important lesson in what "Technical debt" means

Doing things fast early on means that now it takes half a dozen people several hours to change a health bar

All that technical debt has come due

[molten dock]

the checkpoint script not the player2D script

[polar acorn]

I don't actually think the checkpoint script is the problem other than the fact that it's spawning a new player instead of just reusing the existing one

And honestly looking at all the Finds just makes me willing to write this whole thing off as unfixable

[rich adder]

yeah used to be worse, can you imagine

hey found my handy work!

 if (collision.TryGetComponent(out DoorInteraction d))
        {
            door = d;
        }```

[hushed hinge]

it worked before though

[polar acorn]

Right and your entire project is such an untenable mess of spaghetti I wouldn't be surprised if it's broken because today's date is odd instead of even

This is not going to be a simple fix. Everything's so interwoven it could be literally anywhere

So, my recommendation would be to try to simplify the code without changing the functionality, which will make it easier to find the problem

[rich adder]

start consolidating and prob learning about single responsibility

[polar acorn]

Even just small things like caching Finds and GetComponents would go a long way to making the code more readable and thus, more debuggable

[molten dock]

perhaps look up a tutorial on youtube which will show you how to make a 2D platformer respawn script

[rich adder]

this will just cause the same issues

[polar acorn]

supergluing someone else's solution into this project is the last thing they want to do right now

[molten dock]

lol i was just thinkin they should ditch that one tho

and since they dont know how to do their own

[polar acorn]

This is fixable, but not in its current state. So, the way to fix this is to start by cleaning things up. They won't actually address the problems, but they'll make it easier to find when they're done

Let's start with some light refactoring of the checkpoint script, starting with the fields. What do all of these variables do? What is the intention of keeping em around?

[molten dock]

surely it should be as simple as detecting if the player has hit a trigger collider for the checkpoint postition and then setting the player to teleport there whenever they die

[polar acorn]

Right but every script is doing like nine things. So let's identify which things need to be here and what can be spun off

[rich adder]

big issue is they barely understand their own code

[polar acorn]

In fact, this could take a while, so I'm starting up a thread

[hushed hinge]

https://gdl.space/iwimeyesub.cs this is the code when takes damage
https://gdl.space/rodiduzobi.cs this is for health
https://gdl.space/hofehuquro.cs and this one is the player lost all lives, game over
https://gdl.space/oxonolanep.cs i think where GameObject go = Instantiate(player, transform.position, transform.rotation) as GameObject; is when the player spawns on the checkpoint object while i think
GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag("Player 2").GetComponent<HitPoints>().ResetHitPoints();
GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag("HealthUI2").GetComponent<PlayerHealthUI>().UpdateGraphics();

is when the health is back at full

[polar acorn]

The Great Refactoring

[hushed hinge]

starcheck is for the checkpoint sprite when it is not passed. while the sprite starpassed is when you have passed the checkpoint which you can respawn from.
public bool checkpointReached; is to check is the checkpoint is passe dby any of the players or not
private SpriteRenderer checkpointSpriteRenderer; is so that the sprite can be changed to being passed

while i don't know about private GameObject _gameOverScreen; but it is used for if the player lost all lives down to 0 lives and when you die agian, it goes to a gameover screen

[polar acorn]

Let's move this into the thread.

[hushed hinge]

ok

[spiral narwhal]

Is it preferred to use colliders or constant raycasts for ground checks?

[prime cobalt]

I'm trying to instantiate gameobjects on each spot in a grid that there's one of the white hexagons but for some reason they're super offset. The green circle is around where it should be according to a function that debug logs mouse pos. Does anyone have any clue what could be going on?

[eternal needle]

Typically capsule cast or some shape cast is used, although entirely depends on your game. Colliders can work though I imagine it's more tedious to setup

[wintry quarry]

Your code is just directly instantiating at x, y. Don't you need to convert those grid coordinates to world space?

It shouldn't matter because they should be converting the grid coordinates to world space, which they're not doing

This is not a data type problem

It has nothing to do with that

They need to convert grid coordinates into world space coordinates

That's exactly what the Grid component is for

E.g.

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Grid.GetCellCenterWorld.html
https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/GridLayout.CellToWorld.html

[prime cobalt]

I tried this and it worked, thanks!

[sand swift]

private void FixedUpdate() { accelerationGain += 1 * Time.fixedDeltaTime; }

is this more acurate and frame rate independent than this?:

private void Update() { //accelerationGain += 1 * Time.deltaTime; }
?

[wintry quarry]

yes

it's a bit unclear what "accelerationGain" is though

if it was velocity than absolutely yes.

[sand swift]

dont worry I just need to be sure that is a value that increases by "x" per second

[wintry quarry]

It really depends how it's being used whether it matters or not

And what your requirements are

[sand swift]

but I do can share the script but I dont think is easy to understand where I want to go with. Disclaimer: I come from Arts, I use unreal (use only BPs) for few time but I decide to comeback to unity cause flexibility / freedom

The Notes at some comments are in Portuguese tho

[wintry quarry]

I don't see where accelerationGain is used

[sand swift]

it will be added to the base acceleration aka accelerationInMts

[wintry quarry]

yeah it should go in FixedUpdate

[sand swift]

btw thanks a lot for the help, I think I really never used this server, but I wasn't exepting help so fast

[sullen jolt]

Hello, I hope you're doing well!

I have built a small dialogue system that uses 3 scripts to work with a string array and some booleans. Script 1 is responsible for typing out the text on screen (with typewriter effect), Script 2 is responsible for a lot of stuff but mainly checking OnTriggerEnter2D then checking for the if conditions responsible for increasing array index or disabling the text if the dialogue ends. Script 3 checks if the dialogue is on its last character and turns the canEndDialogue to true.

My problem is, in Script 2, the if conditions are all met and I've made sure by debugging but the code won't execute at all.

Script 1
https://gdl.space/erikafuner.cpp

Script 2
https://gdl.space/kutetewixe.cs

**Script 3 **
https://gdl.space/xojizosade.cpp

[civic flax]

Why does my projectile collide with me even though I have multiple lines telling it not to...

[wintry quarry]

in Script 2, the if conditions are all met and I've made sure by debugging but the code won't execute at all.
Which code won't execute? What debugging steps did you take?>

Doesn't look like your logs are printing typewriterScript.isDoneTyping which is one of the conditions you need

[sullen jolt]

I've used Debug.Logs on every condition that needs to be met but I removed them for code simplicity sake

[wintry quarry]

Prove it

[sullen jolt]

Script 2 line 53

[wintry quarry]

What is more likely to be true:

• you made a mistake
• if statements in C# don't work properly

if the code isn't running, your condition is false

[sullen jolt]

Okay, I will write them again and post screenshots

[wintry quarry]

THank you

[civic flax]

Why does it keep colliding with me

I'm so confused

I tell it 3 times

I even put it in update

ignore layer

but it doesnt

Am I missing something or are all relevant conditions met?

"Length" is the array length btw

I also just discovereed that pressing Return while the text in index "1" is being written keeps increasing the indexes until they are out of bound

This whole issue started because I wanted to disable pressing the Return UNTIL the dialogue has reached its absolute last letter

[keen dew]

You call OnTypingComplete only if canEndDialogue is false, but the log shows it's true

I think i see it, you need to wrap the Destroy() and the Physics.IgnoreLayerCollision inside the same scope (these {})

[fluid glen]

How?

[robust pecan]

@fluid glen
take a better screenshot

Do you see how they were responding to someone else? Not you

[fluid glen]

Oh shut yeh

One sev lemme do that

[summer stump]

Take a screenshot (not a picture) and maybe someone will help

[acoustic arch]

so my enemy AI will always have from 1-9 possible actions which are then weighted from most effective to least effective then i have a field called skill for enemy ai which is from 1-10 which determines how often they make highly effective actions

how can i create a calculation for the ai to pick an action from 1-9 based on skill while still being random?

'https://paste.ee/p/86ExG'

this is the current enemyAI status

[polar acorn]

Give each option a weight, sum up all the weights, roll a number between 0 and that sum.
Then go through the list, if the value is less than the weight, do that option. Otherwise, subtract the weight from the roll and try the next. If you run out of weight, do the last option

[acoustic arch]

what connecting would this have to the enemyAI skill field?

to separate low level npc battle from stronger npc ai

[fluid glen]

@robust pecan

[robust pecan]

Yupp?

[summer stump]

Looks like you need another package downloaded? Not sure
What is the other error?

I want to make my item be rotatable to make the incoming inventory tetris not super boring. BUT when i rotate it and move even 1 pixel it just freaks out and disappears to some far away position. I cant rly find a fix online, the only questions i found are about the same problem in JavaScript lol. Gif that shows what i mean: https://i.imgur.com/IXu4Rk9.mp4
The relevant code:

public void OnMouseDown()
    {
        isDragging = true;
        transform.rotation = Quaternion.identity;
        GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>().isKinematic = true;
    }
void Update()
{
if (isDragging && Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.R))
        {
            transform.Rotate(0, 0, 90);
        }
if (isDragging == true)
        {
            Vector2 mousePosition = Camera.main.ScreenToWorldPoint(Input.mousePosition) - transform.position;
            transform.Translate(mousePosition);
        }
}

[fluid glen]

Should I click enter safe mode or ignore

[summer stump]

Doesn't matter. That does mean the errors are still there though

[fluid glen]

Oh shit that’s a problem innit

[robust pecan]

Have you tried adding the positions onto the transform.position instead of using transform.Translate()?

[summer stump]

Did you add the VisionOS module?

[sullen jolt]

Thank you! I had to add an extra boolean named "canPressButton" and your comment helped me solve it

[fluid glen]

Not sure don’t think so.

[summer stump]

Looking it up, it looks like you are required to do that

https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/visionOS.html

[fluid glen]

Yh it’s the vision os that’s the problem

But I don’t want a vision pro app it’s meant to be oculus tho?

[unique slate]

"transform.position = mousePosition;" (and removing the "- transform position from it) works 😄 idk why i did it like this... edit: probably some video that i copied 💀

thanks!

[robust pecan]

No worries!

[fluid glen]

@summer stump

[summer stump]

Well, it looks like you have it as a build target or something? I have never done xr/vr so I'm not sure

I'm trying to implement pathfinding but every time I run this the program freezes until the computer runs out of memory. I'm guessing there's an infinite loop but there shouldn't be.
https://gdl.space/wicomasufi.php

[eternal needle]

These variable names are really hard to follow. Though really if this isnt finishing instantly, its either an infinite loop or running way way too much logic.
Your best option here is to just attach the debugger and run it line by line on a very small sample

show where and how you run instantiate

[eternal needle]

You are gonna be loading those scenes yourself, so you could really just use some event for this

It isn't. You're probably calling Instantiate twice

[deft grail]

finally changed your profile picture, thats new

[rich adder]

the formatting on this code.. wtf

[polar acorn]

Yes I started streaming a while back and my wife surprised me with a VTube rig for my birthday and I love it so I'm using it everywhere

[wintry quarry]

You must be running this code twice

nice, looks good 👍

@atomic yew yeah this coroutine might be called twice,
hard to say without seeing the whole script

@rare basin sorry for the ping but i remade my enemy ai and haven't completed some certain things but i wanted your opinion

[deft grail]

do you have 2 objects with this script?

i made a class called action containing the weight of the enemy possible action and what it does

does it look workable at all?

it is work

[sage thunder]

Where do I find information on how the Skinned Mesh Renderer works? I want to understand exactly what is being done with the armature transforms and shapekeys, and what info it is passing to the shader. Is there somewhere I can read the code for it? Can it be modified?

[wintry quarry]

It just takes the weight painting on your rig and applies the corresponding positional modifications to the vertices in graphics memory. The shader then handles things as normal with the updated vertex positions

No you can't modify it

[sage thunder]

Hmm. I assume Blendshapes are applied first. I'm trying to figure out how I make a system to turn on blendshapes based on the camera angle.

Is it doing those positional changes in the vertex shader? Can that be edited there?

[acoustic arch]

https://paste.ee/p/cBPPO, how could i implement the enemy ai skill into my function on line 70?

[spiral narwhal]

How do I access the offset variables in a script

in the body

[bitter crown]

can someone explain the error here for me im confused the compiler error page didnt help

[rich adder]

vector3 is 3 floats. what you wrote makes no sense

[spiral narwhal]

There is no body property

[languid spire]

transform.position = transform.position ?

[bitter crown]

thx

[slender nymph]

what are you attempting to do with that line of code?

[rich adder]

i believe its a field

m_Body. I think

[bitter crown]

spawn a slash at the players position

the script is on the player so it should spawn there no?

[spiral narwhal]

Not there sadly

[slender nymph]

okay now explain what you thought that line of code was doing

[bitter crown]

spawning the slash at the player position

making the spawn position

[polar acorn]

Mind explaining what this means

Why is this a thing

[slender nymph]

what part of that line do you think has anything to do with spawning? i'm trying to figure out what you were doing with that line that had the error on it specifically

[bitter crown]

the script is on the player so i though it would use the players position

[slender nymph]

like wtf was going through your head when you wrote it because the entire line is basically nonsense

[bitter crown]

the instantiate would be after

[rich adder]

oh you might have to do GetCinemachineComponent<CinemachineFramingTransposer>().
https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.cinemachine@2.3/api/Cinemachine.CinemachineFramingTransposer.html

[polar acorn]

Okay but

what is this

Like literally what are you trying to do here

[slender nymph]

and i'm not fucking asking about instantiate. i'm asking about the line of code with the error on it.

[polar acorn]

by setting the position to itself

inside a Vector constructor

[spiral narwhal]

Yes that's it! Great!

[bitter crown]

this isnt helping ill try myself

[slender nymph]

didn't you hear, they were trying to spawn a slash on the player

[slender nymph]

we cannot correct your misunderstanding without knowing wtf you thought was happening on that line

[bitter crown]

your just flaming me

[polar acorn]

Listen, the line you've posted is pure, unadulterated nonsense. To the point that in order to actually help you we need to know what you were thinking when you wrote it so we can find out what went wrong and correct the misunderstanding

[slender nymph]

no, i'm trying to figure out what the actual fuck you thought that line of code was doing so that i can explain why that is not anywhere close to what it actually says

[polar acorn]

You have clearly missed something very basic, and unless you explain why you thought to write that we have no idea what

[rich adder]

we can only assume by what we see

[bitter crown]

its fixed

[rich adder]

that line makes no sense , maybe you thought it did something else. We wanted to know what

[rich adder]

what was the fix?

[bitter crown]

ill just show you

thank you

......i kinda wanna know one last thing

how do i make the range not random

i tried RangeInt but it doesnt seem to work

[languid spire]

dont use Random.Range

[bitter crown]

oh

thats all?

okay thank you

[wary igloo]

https://gyazo.com/ac754dae3c0215e0b312ac7aba078b3e does anyone know how I could make this for mobile where you have to hold the screen to rotate the gun instead it moving with the mouse ``` public Transform m_transform;
Vector2 direction = Camera.main.ScreenToWorldPoint(Input.mousePosition) - m_transform.position;
float angle = Mathf.Atan2(direction.y, direction.x) * Mathf.Rad2Deg; // angle it most rotatet o face the mouse
Quaternion rotation = Quaternion.AngleAxis(angle + 35, Vector3.forward);
m_transform.rotation = rotation;

[bitter crown]

it doesnt work

[languid spire]

what are you trying to do?

[bitter crown]

spawn a range of prefabs

[deft grail]

you are using random, how do you not use random
by not using random but using something specific

[languid spire]

but you said 'how do i make the range not random'

[deft grail]

take the time to actually learn what you are doing

instead of writing random code

[bitter crown]

I removed the word random and it still didnt work

[deft grail]

why would it

[bitter crown]

what do you want more from me

[deft grail]

i want you to learn C#

instead of writing random code

[languid spire]

to go away and actually learn something

[bitter crown]

i want it to alternate between the 2 prefabs

instead of randomizing it

[deft grail]

ok so you need to do 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0

[languid spire]

well why did you not say that first?

[bitter crown]

mb

[languid spire]

yes, you also need to learn how to ask questions so that others can understand

[bitter crown]

sorry then

[bitter crown]

isnt that what SlashPrefab.Length does

[languid spire]

why would .Length change in that code?

[bitter crown]

im not understanding

[languid spire]

no you are not. Go and learn the basics of C# and coding

[bitter crown]

it gets how long the prefab array is

can you atleast tell me where i can learn unity C#

[languid spire]

yes, and does the length of the prefab array change in your code?

[bitter crown]

no

[languid spire]

so why would you say #💻┃code-beginner message

[polar acorn]

SlashPrefab.Length gets the length of the SlashPrefab array

[bitter crown]

ik that

[polar acorn]

And Random.Range gets you a random value in a range

[bitter crown]

[polar acorn]

Listen, if you literally say the opposite of what you want, and we tell you how to do that thing, and then later you say that's not what you want, that's not on us

[polar acorn]

You'd want to store which index you used in a variable, and after using it, change that variable to the other one

[bitter crown]

that makes sense ill do that

[zenith cypress]

Various ways to do it; here are some examples:

private int _attackIndex; // stores the value for incremental usage

private void SpawnSlash() {
  // option 1:
  _attackIndex++;
  if (_attackIndex == SlashPrefabs.Length) {
    _attackIndex = 0;
  }

  // option 2:
  // https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Mathf.Repeat.html
  _attackIndex = (int)Mathf.Repeat(_attackIndex + 1, SlashPrefabs.Length);

  // option 3:
  // modulus; gives the remainder of the division: (_attackIndex + 1) / SlashPrefabs.Length
  //          so 0 / 5 -> 0,  1 / 5 -> 1,  2 / 5 -> 2,  12 / 5 -> 2, etc
  //          https://www.dotnetperls.com/modulo
  _attackIndex = (_attackIndex + 1) % SlashPrefabs.Length;  

  // option 4:
  // if you only have two, you can get fancy
  // flips the first bit so it goes 1, 0, 1, 0
  _attackIndex ^= 1;

  // rest of code
}

Do whatever feels the easiest to you 👍

tysm this will help alot

[fierce valley]

Greetings my fellows, I am a total newbie using Vuforia (AR) and I was having this issue where, having an imageState that contains a Cube, for it to rotate as long as it's on the ARCamera POV, basically when it is "onTargetFound". But it's not working at all. I probably lack something or have something wrong which I have reviewed over and over but since I lack knowledge I am struggling to get it.

(The "cube" is the rectangle-like one)
The original idea was to make both the cube and cylinder rotate when BOTH where on the camera's POV, but I can't make it work with only one so let alone both.

Would appreciate if anyone could guide me to a better understanding.

[twilit pilot]

I'm not familiar with Vuforia, but have you set the functions properly in the inspector?

in the OnTargetFound event, it looks like you've assigned the script but not the function being called

[fierce valley]

There is no function available to be selected, that's what weirds me out

[twilit pilot]

did you drag the script itself rather than the object the script is on?

since it's a monobehaviour you'll need to target the instance of it, whatever GameObject your RotarControllerFound component is attached to

[fierce valley]

It indeed is a mono script, as stated in RotarControllerFound. But I don't quite get what you mean, are you implying the script RotarControllerFound has as many instances as gameobjects it is attached to?

[twilit pilot]

on your ImageTarget GameObject you have a RotarControllerFound component, that's an instance of the class that your script defines - make sure that's what you're dragging into the UnityEvent inspector

it's possible to drag the script file from your assets folder instead, but it wont know what to do with that, so it wont show any functions on it

[fierce valley]

Thank you so much!! That was the issue. Now, I dragged the instance instead to the event inspector, and can now find the missing functions 🙂

[acoustic arch]

how can i integrate my enemy ai, enemy skill into the choose action function in my enemy ai script

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

line 70-94

the better the enemy skill, the higher likely for a higher weighted action

[eternal needle]

what are you struggling to do exactly? you can just use the skill variable anywhere you want in this equation. This just depends really how you want the skill to affect what it can use. You probably just need to think about how it affects it, in terms of numbers first, before trying to make the code solution

[acoustic arch]

i've been trying to think about how it would affect the numbers but i can't find a way to make like a 10 skill for an enemy calculate to be all that better than 1,2,3 etc

also i have another question

i'll ask after this

this is my first time ever making an ai for a custom battling game

[eternal needle]

first think about this purely in numbers. You have a skill level from 1-10. How much more likely should it be that someone picks the highest weighted ability, or 2nd highest, or any, based on these numbers.
A simple way could be scaling the weight relative to the average weight. Or even just doing exponential like new weight = (weight ^ skill)
All this really depends how much you want skill to matter

[acoustic arch]

oh i get it

so when the weight is calculated, that weight is then changed based on the enemy skill whether it's good or not

[shrewd gazelle]

hello Bawsi would you be interested in tutoring me in discord for 30 min on unity for 20 $ and Ill pay before we start Im trying to do something and didn't find tutorials on it

[eternal needle]

assuming i understood what you want, yea. Simplest way would be directly affecting the weights

[eternal needle]

no

[acoustic arch]

here wait look at this...

[shrewd gazelle]

aw man lol

[acoustic arch]

p2w

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

this is the action script that calculates weight based on different variables

even if i changed the initial weight would it really effect anything?

it would still be sorted from 1-9 best actions

[eternal needle]

since these are (relatively) high values, then i take back the part about doing exponents on them. Any sort of multiplication should work

[shrewd gazelle]

ok Bawsi you know the game among us you know when the player goes to tasks and then a small minigame opens and you play it and finish it I was trying to do that but didnt find turorial on it the only way I can do something like that is if I tell a script to change the scene and if the player wins go back to the old scene but the requirment is for the game to stay in the scene and the mini game to be in the same screen like among us

do you know any tuturial on that

[acoustic arch]

yeah id end up dealing with big numbers with expo

[eternal needle]

sorry i didnt mean change the initial weight, i meant in that ChooseAction() function you can just do like

float newWeight = SomeScalingFactor(action.actionWeight);

or however you choose to scale it. Then you'd need to store these scaled weights as well temporarily

[shrewd gazelle]

when you get the chance please answer me Bawsi

[eternal needle]

🤷‍♂️ dont know why you're asking me directly. what you wrote was barely a question, it was literally all one sentence. Look up additive scene loading and read the #854851968446365696 on how to properly ask a question

[acoustic arch]

id learn about canvas and UI

[eternal needle]

yea also could just show some UI or do it via additive scenes.

[acoustic arch]

alright so it scales the weight based on the enemies skill making higher weighted less and lower weighted higher then

for a lower skill^

should i come up with a scaling factor for each skill then?

[shrewd gazelle]

that is a nightmare becuase all I know is how to code lol and ui is something very new to me

and Im fine with learning new things but I have a deadline and didnt expect not to find tuturiols on lol

but thanks

sorry that was for Frostyio

[eternal needle]

If thats what you want to do then yea, i assumed skill lvl 1 would mean it wouldnt affect the values. Either way, there should be some skill level that basically doesnt touch the weights. Honestly im not even sure what to suggest for an equation, I imagine you could use something related to the average of all the total weights. Like if you have weights 20, 40, and 60. 20 would be seen as below average, 60 above average. Do what you want from there based on a formula

[gray elk]

I'm encountering a weird error when i run my code. Does anyone know what this means and/or how to fix it? The game works just fine in Unity, so its only wonky like this when its being run.

https://gdl.space/loxideladi.sql

[wintry quarry]

Looks like a stack overflow somewhere in the web assembly code

Could be your code or the engine itself

[acoustic arch]

unity makes it easy for you, and you'll have to learn it otherwise your life will be much harder

[acoustic arch]

id probably make 5 not change anything, the average enemy

so i could figure that one out first

[shrewd gazelle]

I will learn all of it just as I mentioned its just the deadline and me not being aware of the fact that theres no tutorials for it

[acoustic arch]

for an among us type deal id make a new UI then have it become enabled whenever that mini game starts then make the UI start the mini game and run it

[hushed hinge]

I'm trying to access the player 2d component to access the last check point reference (an object in the scene that was last reference) yet idk why it have a red underline there

[slender nymph]

does whatever GetPlayer returns have a public player2d variable?

also it generally helps to share the error

[hushed hinge]

the GetPlayer method is in PlayerManager

PlayerComponents go = PlayerManager.instance.SpawnPlayer(1, PlayerManager.instance.GetPlayer(1).player2d.lastCheckPoint.transform.position);

[slender nymph]

does PlayerComponents have a public variable called player2d

[hushed hinge]

yeah

[slender nymph]

okay so what does the error say

here, i'll give you a hint: take another look at the line you've written. then look at the PlayerComponents class and see if there's anything different

[slender nymph]

well this is now a different error

so now you have to look at the Player2D class

[hushed hinge]

ok

FINALLY! AFTER SO LONG

[gray elk]

how does one fix this? from what I could find from forums, they suggest changing some settings to make them lower so WebGL can run the game, but it seems mine are already on the suggested fix's settings

[hushed hinge]

oh.... come on!

everything is working now, but however... when I'm in a different scene, in a world when you select a stage and when i spawn in that stage scene and when i die and repsawn, it doesn't work

[acoustic arch]

often has to do with infinite code loops

[hushed hinge]

PlayerComponents go = PlayerManager.instance.SpawnPlayer(1, PlayerManager.instance.GetPlayer(1).player2D.lastCheckpoint.transform.position);
and it sent me over to this line of code

[gray elk]

the only loop i have running is for background music, but it worked just fine on an earlier WebGL build

[valid pine]

Hello guys, im very new in unity and c# aswell, sorry for bothering you guys. i wonder if anyone knows how to calculate the position offset from a angle, i tried polar coodinates, transformpoint, rotatearound, trigonometry in gereneral but everything i do result in wrong position.
Context:
this is a IK system that i want to do procedural animation combined with regular animations.
If i im broking some rule please let me now
https://gdl.space/totecuriki.cs

[wintry quarry]

how to calculate the position offset from a angle
This is very vague, it's not clear what you're asking for exactly.

i want that the left hand follow the rotation of right hand like its child but just the rotation offset not in overall

[hallow sun]

the one you've got commented is wrong, it should be:

float x = r * Mathf.Cos(phi) * Mathf.Sin(theta);
float y = r * Mathf.Cos(theta);
float z = r * Mathf.Sin(phi) * Mathf.Sin(theta);

dunno where you got -0.31f from though

[timber tide]

https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/class-RotationConstraint.html
There's this class that's primarily for animation constraints

https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/Constraints.html

otherwise I suspect you'd want to use Quaternion.Inverse

[valid pine]

the 0.31f was the temporarly fix for the r * Mathf.Cos(theta) because cos is never 0, so always he was return a offset
also didnt work i tried some combinations because im using camera local space so i thought this was the issue but isnt.

[valid pine]

saddly i cant use constraints because i want just a offset and not the entirely transform. if i could, i use the parent constraint instead

[valid pine]

i think i have to use matrix probaly but had the same effect

[timber tide]

Not too sure the results you want, but when im confused with space relativity, I just work it out from world space

[acoustic arch]

how can i multiply a number by another, where if it's multiplying against a low number it gets higher, if it's a high number it gets lower

for example if the number is 70 it gets lower when multiplied, or if it's 5 it gets higher when multiplied

[valid pine]

i want to left hand follow the exactly same position that it are even with the right hand offset rotation.
I just transform the world position to camera position for the offset be the same whatever the world axis the camera are facing

[timber tide]

so, find the offset of the right hand from the camera's position and just add it to the left hand's position

[valid pine]

not the position offset its the rotation offse

[valid pine]

what is the context?

[timber tide]

your screenshot there says positionoffset

[acoustic arch]

i need my lower skill enemyAI chance to use a lower weighted action to be raised while the higher weighted action to be lowered

making the worse move more likely, better move less likely

then the opposite for the better ones

[valid pine]

yep, turn right hand rotation offset to left hand position offset. my code are little messy

[hallow sun]

May i introduce to you: division

[timber tide]

i would rotate the hand, get the position offset from the origin (the camera in this case) then just add it to the left hand

[valid pine]

i though too, but the result maybe dont be what he looking for

[timber tide]

I assume you mean the hand rotates around the camera, but that is just positional displacement when you think about it

[valid pine]

i think if i demonstrate it with ingame screenshot ull understand but its more moving the left hand moving arond the right hand, like its child only for this rotation offset

maybe a video would better

[timber tide]

a lot can be solved by general vector addition using the origin

of course you can do it with matrix logics, but sometimes the easiest solution would suffice

[valid pine]

i tried the matrix now and it does a lot of that i dont know, but i dont know other way to calculate a position with a angle and radius. i used the polar coordinates and was uunsuccessful

[topaz mortar]

A bit hard to explain this one:
I have 3 classes: Character (not a MonoBehaviour), CharacterLogic (MB) and CharacterVisuals (MB)
CharacterLogic is on a gameobject and holds a reference to Character and CharacterVisuals
CharacterVisuals is on another gameobject and holds a reference to CharacterLogic

I also had a reference to Character on CharacterVisuals
I assigned it in the Awake function like this: this.Character = this.CharacterLogic.Character

Then after the CharacterLogic.Character got loaded, none of the values in CharacterVisuals.Character were updated?
Can you not reference objects like this? Where did I go wrong?

[nimble apex]

if my script extends a class from unity library
like dropdown (which is a class for dropdown UI in unityengine.UI)

if i declare new variables, will it shows on inspector? (public var ofc)

public class CustomDropDown : Dropdown
{
    public GameObject arrow;
    public Image currentSelectBg;
    public Text currentSelectText;
    public Transform generatedDropDown;
    public RectTransform dropDownScrollContent;
}```

im fully confident that im not blind

ok this is absurd

the team has a custom script that has identical name to one of the class in unity library

and its using that library as well

[summer stump]

<@&502884371011731486>
Fake link, scam

Also here
#💻┃unity-talk message

[timber tide]

if it's not null then seems like assigning wrong references

use the vs debugger and step through to see what the reference is and if it's being populated

also execution ordering if this is all being done in a single frame perhaps

[topaz mortar]

so this should in theory work?
I already changed it to just use CharacterLogic.Character instead of assiging CharacterVisuals.Character

[timber tide]

Separation from visuals and logic, they should work no matter what order you load them, but Visuals needs some Character to bind to, but it can hang out in the scene until it is.

Character logic does not need to know about visuals, but visuals do need a reference to character. Character should work completely without visuals.

In theory

Only problem with this is you need to handle the execution if it's chopped apart like this, so keeping the visuals as a field to the character logic would guarantee it load correctly (this would go against the idea that the character logic does not need to know about the visuals but who cares)

Otherwise you do like a manager like RequestUI

[torn edge]

Hello, I don't know much about angles so I needed to ask, if you want your bullets to travel higher or lower depending on the x-value of the player's rotation (such as if the x value of the player's rotation > 20 then travel until transform.position.y == 20f or something) can you just do rotX = playerTransform.rotation.x or do you need to convert it to something before doing the conditional statements?

[timber tide]

probably give some more context of the projectile behaviour

if you rotate your character's x, it will affect the tilt, so a negative x rotation would make them face upwards

in the traditional xyz rotation (y world up)

[atomic bison]

hi there! good morning

Using chatgpt trying to get working the same effect for portals but cannot get working this. Just read this https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.render-pipelines.universal@7.2/manual/rendering-to-a-render-texture.html and https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.render-pipelines.universal@7.2/manual/universal-additional-camera-data.html

[rich adder]

start by reading the error

[atomic bison]

feel like a chatgpt error because UniversalAdditionalCameraData' does not contain a definition for 'cameraOutput'

but documentation tell me myUniversalAdditionalCameraData.cameraOutput = CameraOutput.Texture;
myCamera.targetTexture = myRenderTexture;

[topaz mortar]

Looks like you're trying to put a Texture into a cameraOutput, obviously that won't work

[slender nymph]

also what version of URP are you using? because those docs are for a really old version. and of course GPT is just guessing what you should be doing based on predicting what text is most likely next after the text it has already generated. it does not know how to do things, especially when things change with newer versions

[atomic bison]

im trying to adapt brackeys tutorial from portals to urp https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cuQao3hEKfs

[topaz mortar]

I'm just explaining your error, think about it

[rich adder]

this is probably before urp

[atomic bison]

so the way to use a rendertexture to a mesh renderer in scene i understand this step, so in urp i hve to modify a bit the code because there is another section in maincamera with the output

[timber tide]

Sebastian's video is probably more informative

[atomic bison]

yes, it says there is not a definition for cameraoutput, but in unity documentation says this, let me see my urp version maybe you are right

[atomic bison]

sebastian video?

[timber tide]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cWpFZbjtSQg

[atomic bison]

thanks https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.render-pipelines.universal@14.0/manual/rendering-to-a-render-texture.html so i dont need to use outputtexture, only myCamera.targetTexture = myRenderTexture;

[slender nymph]

correct

[timber tide]

bracky's implementation uses mostly quaternions but there's problems* with it

[atomic bison]

i l check right now thanks for the link!

[timber tide]

lague has a better matrix implementation of viewing through

var matrix = transform.localToWorldMatrix * inPortal.transform.worldToLocalMatrix * playerCamera.transform.localToWorldMatrix;
outPortalCam.transform.SetPositionAndRotation(matrix.GetColumn(3), matrix.rotation);

Basically that

[topaz mortar]

Tried adding & removing nullable, tried adding a (Character) cast, I know I'm doing something silly but I don't see it:

Character Character = CloudSave.LoadCharacterData(context, gameApiClient);

[eternal needle]

your ide should give you the exact type it wants, if you do var character then refactor to use explicit type

[topaz mortar]

bleh just missing async in the function -_-

and await in the call

weird error though

[rich adder]

well yea without await you're returning the task

[topaz mortar]

Here's the working version:

[topaz mortar]

I would just expect not being able to call it

but it sorta makes sense

[rich adder]

not sure what you mean on that one. But yeah most Cloud functions are async cause of nature of web :p

[topaz mortar]

I would expect it requires await if you're trying to call a Task
but I guess there are use cases where you want to store the actual Task instead?

[rich adder]

yeah if you're running a bunch of tasks they can be put in a special class for it

etc

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.threading.tasks.task.waitall?view=net-8.0

[keen dew]

async/await is just syntactic sugar for calling and handling Tasks manually

hello, i am making a top down game in unity 2d, and i want the camera and movement behaviour a lil different.

1. I want the camera angle to follow the mouse
2. The movement i have currently is w for going straight up but i want it to be facing the cursor.

new to unity, i wonder how can i do that

hello. how rotate the 3d object to other 3d object?

[atomic bison]

after upgrade this example to urp the portal become grey, feel like the shader isnt working with ur.... hmmm

nevermind i just found the solution inside one comment 😛

[timber tide]

it's just a screen space position shader

it's also a single node if you want to do it via shader graph

where you changing by degrees

you're rotating towards a direction here

Mornin' all,

Soooooo, I'm following a tutorial on infinite scrolling background using tiles, the tutorial is a 2D solution and I'm trying to 'convert' it to 3D.

I'm not overly experienced with Overlap Circle/OverlapSphere/SphereCast etc. so I'm not 100% sure how to get this to work.

Would anyone be okay to take a look at the code and point me in the right direction please? (I've left the original OverlapCircle code in but commented out to compare)

[iron galleon]

So I'm following a first person tutorial by this guy

and I can't get it to work

the capsule just falls

[ruby python]

Do you have a collider anywhere?

[iron galleon]

yeah

[queen adder]

which channel you recommend ?

[iron galleon]

I still haven't gotten to the player controls

I just finished the camera controls

[ruby python]

What is the player position before you click play? And the ground Position (specifically the Y position)

[ruby python]

Show the scene view when not in Play mode

[iron galleon]

and for the ground:

[ruby python]

Focused on the player.

[ruby python]

Okay, first guess is that your collider is below the ground, so it's not detecting the collision. Try raising up the player GameObject to about 0.5

[ruby python]

That doesn't tell me anything dude 😕

[keen dew]

Does the ground have a collider

[iron galleon]

it just pushes the player up now

[languid spire]

why do you have a rigidbody on the ground?

[iron galleon]

I didn't add it?

[languid spire]

it didn't add itself

[iron galleon]

removed it

[ruby python]

As you're following a tutorial, go back and retrace every step slowly. I know that guys tutorials, and he's pretty good.

[ruby python]

Just a cheeky bump 🫣

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

[ruby python]

I thought the same, but was a bit confused by it as CheckSphere doesn't return a boolean (like OverlapCircle does), so not really sure how to use it in this context.

[real rock]

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Object.DontDestroyOnLoad.html#:~:text=DontDestroyOnLoad to preserve an Object,or components on root GameObjects.

Ignore my last reply, was being a spanner and got confused with all the different sphere stuff. lol.

[real rock]

Lmao was gonna say

Easily done lol

[manic sphinx]

okay, I understand how to do this with music for example, but I don't understand how when loading data, apply it to all scenes even if I don't change scenes

[real rock]

I’ll be honest I’ve not used it yet so I’m not sure how best to implement it but that should be what you want

Maybe someone else will be around that’s actually used it

[spiral narwhal]

Why does the movement make the sprite so stuttery?

        private void Move()
        {
            if (!_canMove) return;

            var rigidBodyVelocity = _rigidbody2D.velocity;
            var movementVelocity = new Vector2(_moveInput.x * _movementSpeed, rigidBodyVelocity.y);
            _rigidbody2D.velocity = movementVelocity;
        }

[real rock]

Not 100% sure why but one thing to do is add a little drag

[keen dew]

That looks like camera stutter more than movement stutter. Can't tell for sure because there are no reference points in the background

[real rock]

Could be yeah

Which would make sense

[spiral narwhal]

Ah I see

Let me send it

[languid spire]

first thing, when is this called?

[real rock]

In something I’m making someone thought there was a bug where the player went flying, turns out it was just the camera

[spiral narwhal]

FixedUpdate

[iron galleon]

boys I figured out how to move the camera 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[ruby python]

Hmmm. Okay, so CheckSphere seems to be the way to go, but it's introduced a new issue that I'm not sure how to fix. 😕

I could obviously put a collision check on the tiles, but that would introduce a lot more processing.

Any ideas? 😕

[real rock]

Why… why is your script in scripts/ignore lmao

[iron galleon]

that's the script for holding the camera

[real rock]

Had a quick look at overlapsphere

Could use that and instead of if(overlap do if(overlap.count > 0

[ruby python]

Okay cool. Will give that a go 🙂

Managed to find out the reason for the stuttering in case anyone is interested (or this is asked again)

One must enable interpolation on the rigidbody

[real rock]

Makes sense

[ruby python]

Dangit. lol.

Same result as the CheckSphere route. Annoying because I know exactly why it's doing it, I'm just not sure how to fix it. lol.

You probably want a layermask

[ruby python]

Collider[] hitColliders = Physics.OverlapSphere(player.transform.position, checkerRadius);

 if (hitColliders.Length > 0)
 {
     Debug.Log("Hit Triggered");
     noTerrainPosition = player.transform.position + new Vector3(xPosition, yPosition, zPosition);
     SpawnChunk();
 }

This is what I've got. Even with a layerMask it does the same thing. It's happening basically because I'm calling the check every frame, so it's detecting the current collider every frame. I'm just not really sure what the difference in the detection side is between the circle and sphere methods is 😕

[real rock]

Can you show the 2D code again rq?

[ruby python]

if (Physics2D.OverlapCircle(player.transform.position + new Vector3(xPosition, yPosition, zPosition), checkerRadius, terrainMask))
{
Debug.Log("Hit Triggered");
noTerrainPosition = player.transform.position + new Vector3(xPosition, yPosition, zPosition);
SpawnChunk();
}

Oh wait, 1 sec, I did miss something.

Physics2D wont work in 3d physics, two different systems

[real rock]

Yeah it’s just to compare the logic

Theyre converting from a 2D tutorial to 3D

[ruby python]

Yes I know this, I'm not trying to use 2d with 3d.

Gah, this is really frustrating. lol.

[real rock]

Lol

You got this

[ruby python]

Oh, I think I may have figured it.

Needed to change the colliders check to <=0 instead of >0

[real rock]

Not sure that will fix it in the long run lol

[ruby python]

Maybe not, but it's doing the same thing as the 2D tutorial is doing, so I can move onto the next stage and see what happens. lol.

[real rock]

Lol

What happens if you do > 1 instead?

[ruby python]

Nothing. I figured it wouldn't because the collider count won't go above 1 until a new tile is spawned, which will never happen because a new tile will never spawn (if I understand the logic correctly)

[real rock]

I think something is a little broken then but I guess you’ll find out in future, hard to tell without an editor in front of me to play with lol

[deft grail]

perhaps this is the problem?

[ruby python]

Yeah I know what you mean. I get the same thing.

[iron galleon]

boys how do i add 2 tags?

[ruby python]

The vector3 offset is basically to 'move' the sphere to that point based on the players movement, so when the check moves off the 'current' tile, the next one spawns (If that makes any sense.)

[deft grail]

use .CompareTag instead, and you cant, you have to write it twice the whole compare by using a && operator

[gaunt ice]

but a gameobject can have only one tag

[deft grail]

exactly, so probably want a || instead of &&

[iron galleon]

ight

WHAT THE HELL, I ADDED COLLISION

[burnt vapor]

If you want to receive help in this channel you're going to have to specify what that would be

[iron galleon]

collision doesn't work

[burnt vapor]

That's not related to this channel

But considering we started this conversation now, read this https://unity.huh.how/physics-messages/3d-physics-messages

[iron galleon]

ight thanks

[burnt vapor]

      //portrait resolution : 3/4 only
      //landscape resolution : 16/9 only
      if((r.width/r.height) == (3 / 4))
      {
        portraitResolutions[dropDown.options.Count] = r;

        if (!GameManager.Instance.isLandscape)
        {
          newOptionData = new OptionData(GetResolutionText(r));
        }
      }
      else if ((r.width / r.height) == (16 / 9))
      {
        landscapeResolutions[dropDown.options.Count] = r;

        if (GameManager.Instance.isLandscape)
        {
          newOptionData = new OptionData(GetResolutionText(r));
        }
      }```

do u guys think this code can be further optimized?

what this script does is basically obtain all resolution possible, and group them into 2 kinds of resolutions, add them to a list for later display

[languid spire]

have you actually tested this?
