you aren't recomputing rndCoin in here, so this will spawn a ton of coins if rndCoin is equal to ten

[rancid tinsel]

ohh that might be it

seems thats what it was, I put the check in for the if, but forgot about the else if

[gentle stratus]

ive tinkered with it and now it doesnt immediately start hitting the player but it also never hits the player because it only detects the player's viewsphere which ive set to invisible tag and it only hits if the tag is player

[rancid tinsel]

weird that it was only spawning 2 though since rnd can go up to 3

but maybe i just got unlucky and didnt get to see it with rnd 3

[teal viper]

Does the view sphere have an rb?

[gentle stratus]

no but its parent does

[teal viper]

Then it's gonna use the layer of the parent

[gentle stratus]

so i cant make it only detect the player body?

or maybe i add a kinematic rb to the viewsphere?

[teal viper]

Every individual collider needs it's own rigidbody. Otherwise it would be part of a compound collider.

[gentle stratus]

ic

[swift crag]

I wasn't aware that the layer of the rigidbody would clobber the layer of the collider's object

a little question why when i Instantiate(prefab,new Vector2(i,4.4f),quaternion.RotateZ(190)); that rotate only at 86.198 ?

[polar acorn]

That will return a quaternion that represents an orientation of something rotated 190 degrees about the Z axis. There are infinitely many ways to express that with euler angles. It's possible that the X or Y values are also changed to achieve the same orientation. Try to change the object's rotation in the inspector to 0,0,190 and see if it is physically in a different orientation

[fossil tree]

the rotation of the prefab?

[polar acorn]

The thing that's instantiated.

Pause the game, change the rotation, and see if it's actually at an incorrect angle

or if it's just being displayed as some value you aren't expecting

[fossil tree]

ok ty

[gentle stratus]

so i added the rb but it still only detects the collider

[willow scroll]

Could you tell the issue so that I can try to help you out?

[gentle stratus]

well basically i have an enemy class that has an attacksphere where if the player is in that area itll trigger ontriggerstay and damage the player

but the player has a viewsphere called collider where if the enemy is in it itll change material and that collider keeps colliding with the attacksphere and then the playerbody doesnt show up

https://gdl.space/wokeziyiya.cpp this is the attacksphere code

it checks for player but it encounters collider before the playerbody and collider doesnt have the player tag

[willow scroll]

It sounds pretty confusing to me

[wintry quarry]

Why don't you just put the different colliders on different layers and use layer-based collision to filter things out?

[ivory bobcat]

Or have the specific colliders ignore each other?

[gentle stratus]

i tried doing both of these

set the spheres to the same level and removed the collisions between the level and itself

and went into the collider and excluded the layer it was on

[willow scroll]

So, you have a Collider AttackSphere on your enemy and a Collider Viewsphere on your player, but your player also has its own Collider. The issue is that the AttackSphere doesn't ignore the Viewsphere, right?

[gentle stratus]

yeah

[willow scroll]

Well, you may do what PraetorBlue said or simply check for the collider being the collider you need in your enemy's logic

By either checking the Components or tags

[willow scroll]

How have you done this?

You should make AttackSphere ignore Viewsphere, if I understand the issue correctly

[willow scroll]

Enemy doesn't seem to ignore any collisions

Oh, right, it has Collider layer

The Colliders do ignore each other

Does the 2nd image, called Collider, correspond to the Viewsphere you have mentioned?

[gentle stratus]

yeah

the player viewsphere is called collider

[willow scroll]

They should ignore each other, don't they?

[gentle stratus]

doesnt seem to be the case

[willow scroll]

Is it the Enemy's code?

And send the code, please

[gentle stratus]

its here

[willow scroll]

Also consider answering the question

[clear river]

Hello.

[gentle stratus]

its the code of attacksphere which is in enemy if thats what you mean

[clear river]

I'm the latest newbie off the bus

[willow scroll]

Is the script attached to the AttackSphere?

[gentle stratus]

yes

[clear river]

I have 30+ years programming experience

But Unity is new

So I'm a rookie

And I have a key question

[willow scroll]

Please, consider asking your question in a single message for it not to be interfered.

[clear river]

I get scripting, declaring variables in a .cs file and making connections and operations in code. And I get visual interfaces, adding elements and auto-building code with automatic methods etc. But I'm stuck on something weird

[willow scroll]

Could you print the layers of both GameObjects?

collision.gameObject.layer

[gentle stratus]

okay

[willow scroll]

Then send a screenshot

[clear river]

Sorry cashiering at the same time x.x

[languid spire]

ok, so you have 30+ years programming in what language?

[wintry quarry]

Damn times are rough out there if a 30+ year programmer needs to be a cashier too 😦

[clear river]

Disregarding tbat

[gaunt ice]

slasher

[gentle stratus]

private void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other) {
    Debug.Log(sphere.gameObject.name + " layer: " + sphere.gameObject.layer + "\n" + other.gameObject.name + " layer: " + other.gameObject.layer);
    if (other.CompareTag("Player")) {
        canHit = true;
    }
}```

[clear river]

You make variables in a .cs, attach it as a component, then link the data to other components in the visual inferface.

WTF?

How can you tell from the script what is attached to what?

[rich adder]

btw https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/language-reference/tokens/interpolated

[wintry quarry]

From the script? The script only defines a blueprint for a component.
You can see the actual component in the inspector when you attach it to an object. In the inspector, you can see what is assigned to it.

[gentle stratus]

good to know

[ivory bobcat]

The components on objects would be instances.

[willow scroll]

Yeah, can be done with

$"variable: {variable};\nvariable2: {variable2}"

[clear river]

Ah. Gimme a second to consider that

[willow scroll]

Right, so the objects collide, apparently, even though the collision between them is disabled.

[gentle stratus]

yeah idk why

[ivory bobcat]

You'll not have access to the hierarchy objects directly without proper referencing or Finding the objects in the scene and will mainly be working with callback methods.

[willow scroll]

Could you show the layers one more time?

[willow scroll]

Also, do you have a 2D or 3D game?

[polar acorn]

When you attach a script to an object, you're making an instance of that class attached to that specific object. Then you can drag in other references for that instance

[gentle stratus]

3d

[willow scroll]

Are you sure you're configuring the matrix you need?

So in Physics, not Physics 2D

[willow scroll]

I meant the collision matrix in Project Settings -> Physics -> Layer Collision Matrix

[gentle stratus]

oh

it is physics not physics 2d

[willow scroll]

And both objects are Colliders..

[gentle stratus]

yeah

[willow scroll]

And the collision is disabled..

[willow scroll]

Actually

Why do they exclude layers?

On your SphereCollider

Exclude Layers: Collider

[gentle stratus]

i added that when fooling around im testing it again excluding no layers

[ivory bobcat]

Debug.Log($"A collision occurred between {name} and {other.name}");
Debug.Log($"Click this message to have {name} highlighted in the hierarchy", this);
Debug.Log($"Click this message to have {other.name} highlighted in the hierarchy", other);```

[gentle stratus]

still collided

[clear river]

So the BattleHandler.cs is a code module blueprint,

[wintry quarry]

These objects don't match your log. Your log says ViewSphere and AttackSphere are colliding

doesn't look like "Collider" is colliding

which is as expected

[clear river]

And the attached component is an instance of that blueprint
Correct?

[wintry quarry]

yes

[clear river]

Thanksm

[wintry quarry]

really the "class" inside the script is the blueprint for the component

public class BattleHandler

[gentle stratus]

viewsphere is the viewsphere of the enemy and collider is the viewsphere of the player, and collider is at the end of the log

[ivory bobcat]

Clicking on the logs, do they highlight the correct objects? @gentle stratus

[gentle stratus]

didnt seem to actually highlight

when i doubleclick it just goes to the attacksphere code

[ivory bobcat]

I'm assuming you've got other objects with attack spheres and view spheres besides those shown - or on both enemy and players without the correct layers.

[ivory bobcat]

I've edited the message

[gentle stratus]

ok

[clear river]

In that case hardcoding a connection in the script is.. slightly less clean? Than connecting vis the interface?

[gentle stratus]

it highlights the collider and the whole enemy prefab

[ivory bobcat]

Prefab? You mean the enemy object in the scene?

[gentle stratus]

yeah

[clear river]

But I'm never gonna have two battlehandler instances. Is there a better way to do this than a comonent connection?

[rich adder]

nvm thought yu were talking about web lol

[ivory bobcat]

Meaning the rigid body was on the enemy that had a different layer (not collider) and not the part of the enemy with said collider and correct layer.

[rugged gulch]

Does anyone know how to fix this decal stretching issue? this is for bullet holes applied to corners:
and relevent code:

    {
        // Define an offset distance to move the decal into the wall
        float offsetDistance = 0.2f; // Adjust this value as needed

        // Calculate the position of the decal slightly deeper into the wall
        Vector3 spawnPos = hit.point - hit.normal * offsetDistance;

        // Instantiate the bullet hole object at the calculated position
        GameObject spawnedObject = Instantiate(bulletHolePrefab, spawnPos, Quaternion.identity);

        // Align the bullet hole with the hit normal (assuming your bullet hole prefab is facing in the positive Z direction)
        spawnedObject.transform.forward = hit.normal;

        // Optionally, you can parent the bullet hole to a container
        spawnedObject.transform.SetParent(bulletHoleContainer.transform);
    }```

[rich adder]

are you talking about references ?

[gentle stratus]

think i see the issue now, the enemy object itself also has attack detection

cause i needed to link it with my animator

[wintry quarry]

most likely because you're setting the bullet hole as a child of something that is scaled
spawnedObject.transform.SetParent(bulletHoleContainer.transform);
Oh sorry actually - I just looked at the screenshot. You're using a decal projector. Projector is going to wrap around the thing it's being projected on.

[gentle stratus]

nvm even when i turned it off it still collides with collider

[rugged gulch]

Commenting that out causes the same issues, so with no parent for each bullet hole the issue is the same

[rich adder]

you can try making the Depth smaller so it doesn't go so far in the mesh

[wintry quarry]

if you don't want it to have stretch on the object it's projecting on, you should just use a Quad mesh, not a projector

[rugged gulch]

where could i find the option to create a quad mesh?

[crystal chasm]

It's one of the standard primitives in unity.

[clear river]

If BattleHandler.cs is attached to a GameObject as a Component, I get an instance of code I'll only ever use one time. Is there a betyer way?

[crystal chasm]

Right click, create 3D object, Quad.

[rugged gulch]

so you're saying that the decal projector can't handle corners?

[ivory bobcat]

Create a Singleton manager that'd have a reference to your necessary battle handler if you want pseudo global access to the object.

[ivory bobcat]

Use it one time for what and where? I'm assuming you're wanting access to it in some other class.

[rugged gulch]

with the right rotation it seems more than possible but im unsure of the math behind calculating this

[wintry quarry]

To get this you'd have to just sample the surface normal at a few points

and maybe take the average

[rugged gulch]

i'll have to look into this, thank you

[fossil tree]

why the hell this error pop in my console (that dont affect my game) ```NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object

[rich adder]

because it was some type of editor window /tab /item took a dump somewhere, you can clear n move on

generally UnityEditor errors are not caused by you directly

[clear river]

How does this differ from a GameObject in the interface? I've only ever made GameObjects.

Or, does the manager also attach to a GameObject?

[wintry quarry]

it attaches to a GameObject

[ivory bobcat]

Singleton pattern with Unity objects would consist of your standard Game Object but with the usual public static Instance member and the single constraint test in Awake.

[clear river]

Okay. Thanks.

Truth be told, I was handed someone else's code [In Unity?!] And was told: "this doesn't work. Fix it"

I've been doing my best for a few weeks now. Thanks for the backup

[fossil tree]

ok ty

[willow scroll]

It's still not fixed, is it?

[gentle stratus]

nop

[clear river]

I'll return if/when I have more questions.

[willow scroll]

Alright, show me the current objects one more time

Which are supposed to collide

Not supposed, actually

And print the objects using the Debug.Log's 2nd parameter, Object context

[gentle stratus]

yeah i added this from delphat's suggestion

private void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other) {
    if (other.transform.parent.CompareTag("Enemy")) return;
    Debug.Log($"A collision occurred between {name} and {other.name}");
    Debug.Log($"Click this message to have {name} highlighted in the hierarchy", this);
    Debug.Log($"Click this message to have {other.name} highlighted in the hierarchy", other);
    if (other.CompareTag("Player")) {
        canHit = true;
    }
}```

[stuck palm]

how can i check what is setting a script active to false? i havent written any code and have no references to this code whatsoever and something is setting it to false and i have no diea why

[rich adder]

Awake can sometimes automatically disable a script if it has a NRE

[stuck palm]

this only happens after awake should be called

i'll send a video

[stuck palm]

the outline disables itself and idk why

after you come back

[swift crag]

add OnDisable and put a breakpoint in it

[stuck palm]

from the frozen

[swift crag]

then use a debugger

alternatively, just log something in there

[stuck palm]

strange, logging something shows theres a method in the player where it disables the outline, but it doesnt say what is calling that method

[swift crag]

show the stack trace

[stuck palm]

left one is from the outline script

and right one is from disableoutline on the character

[swift crag]

Is it a coroutine?

(DisableOutline, that is)

[stuck palm]

no

its just a standard method

[swift crag]

share the Character script.

[stuck palm]

its almost 1000 lines long are you sure

[swift crag]

yes, I won't die

[stuck palm]

i'll paste it in a thingy one sec

[stuck palm]

https://gdl.space/xoduyiyuro.cs
might be a bit messy 😅

i've tried to keep it as tidy as possible

[swift crag]

perhaps you are using Invoke

which can send a message after a delay

[stuck palm]

i found the culprit 😭

[willow scroll]

• 1. Are these the objects that are not supposed to collide?
• 2. Have you check it out properly?
• 3. Are you absolutely sure?

[swift crag]

ah, an animation event

i'm surprised there wasn't at least a hint as to where that came from

[stuck palm]

i thought the animator would show up in the stack trace at least

yeah

[rich adder]

doesn't it use reflection?

[swift crag]

indeed, but I'd still expect to see the code responsible for doing that reflection

maybe that's all native

[rich adder]

isn't it basically the same as GameObject.SendMessage ?

[swift crag]

messages are also reflection-based

[prime cobalt]

can you access a custom tilemap rule tile's properties from a raycast?

[rich adder]

if you know the class you need, use the WorldToCell and then GetTile

[prime cobalt]

I tried that but it said it was invalid

[ivory bobcat]

You've got an invalid cast exception

[rich adder]

Should probably check what type of tile you're grabbing first

btw this has a generic version with <T>

[prime cobalt]

Yeah I just don't know how to make it valid. GameRuleTile inherits from RuleTile so it should work...

[prime cobalt]

The get tile?

[ivory bobcat]

Well, Get Tile returns a Tile Base
https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Tilemaps.Tilemap.GetTile.html

[prime cobalt]

Oh I didn't know you had to specify the type with the <> it doesn't return an error anymore

Thanks!

[stuck palm]

can you change a variables access modifier at runtime?

[slender nymph]

no. why would you?

[stuck palm]

i was just wondering if u could lmao

[slender nymph]

well just like how you cannot change the actual lines of code at runtime (because they've already been compiled into IL), you cannot change the access modifier for a variable or any other object

[polar acorn]

Literally what would that even do

[prime cobalt]

Is there a way to change the color of a rule tile in runtime? I've currently got it like this with another script calling changecolor during runtime but it doesn't actually change anything until I exit playmode.

TileData myTileData;



public override void GetTileData(Vector3Int position, ITilemap tilemap, ref TileData tileData)
{
    base.GetTileData(position, tilemap, ref tileData);

    tileData.color = color;
    tileData.flags = TileFlags.LockColor;
    myTileData = tileData;
}

public override bool StartUp(Vector3Int position, ITilemap tilemap, GameObject instantiatedGameObject)
{
    color = Color.white;
    myTileData.color = color;
    myTileData.flags = TileFlags.LockColor;
    return base.StartUp(position, tilemap, instantiatedGameObject);
}

public void ChangeColor()
{
    myTileData.color = color;
    myTileData.flags = TileFlags.LockColor;
}```

I should clarify that the color variable changes but it just doesn't actually affect the sprite

[slender nymph]

try removing the lockcolor flag before assigning the color

[stuck palm]

idk LOL

[prime cobalt]

Nah that didn't work

[cursive hinge]

is someone kind enough to show me how would jumping look like in a fps controller script? I'm currently using Move and it looks like teleporting

if (Input.GetKey(jumpKey))
            {
                Debug.Log("Jumping");
                if (isGrounded)
                {
                    controller.Move(Vector3.up * Mathf.Sqrt(jumpHeight * 2f * gravity));
                    isJumping = true;
                }
            }

[rich adder]

basic example
https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/CharacterController.Move.html

or just use the premade controllers from starter asset

[lofty star]

How do you create adaptive joystick on touch screen?

[final totem]

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Unity.Collections.LowLevel.Unsafe.UnsafeUtility.ForgiveLeaks.html why this exists tho

[polar acorn]

Don't worry about it

If you're posting in #💻┃code-beginner you should basically pretend literally any C# code containing the word "unsafe" just does not exist

[hallow sun]

i personally just use AddForce as an impulse

[polar acorn]

If you mean for the above jump issue, you can't use AddForce on a CharacterController

[hallow sun]

oh didnt notice that part

[cursive hinge]

Jumping is killing me 😭

[polar acorn]

.Move is an amount to move this frame. If you want to jump you will need to track velocity over several frames, and use that velocity to call .Move

You'd increase the Y velocity by some amount, and then decrease that every frame until you're back on the ground

[ember tangle]

for(int index = 0; index < unitCount; index++)
{
    //add unit to list as prefab
    units.Add(Instantiate(prefab) as GameObject);

    // lock origin to Formation position
    units[index].transform.SetParent(gameObject.transform);

    //reset position to equal formation position;
    units[index].transform.position = gameObject.transform.position;

    //set desired position
    units[index].transform.position = new Vector3(0 + 5 * index, 0, 0); // ???
}

When I use the new Vector 3 to set a new position for the 'Unit' game object, 0 is not based on the position of the parent game object. I thought that by setting the parent I'm changing what 0 is for the child?

[wintry quarry]

You are using transform.position which is in world space.
if you want local position use transform.localPosition

[eternal needle]

Maybe you want to set the local position, setting the position itself will move the object to that position

[prime cobalt]

Is there any reason that this wouldn't be changing a rule tile's color in runtime? I can't find anything helpful online.

I checked the unity learn for rule tiles and the rule tile documentation neither was helpful

[prime cobalt]

So is there no possible way to change the color values during runtime then?

Because it works when it's in the editor

[wintry quarry]

If you want to change a tile color at runtime you would use https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Tilemaps.Tilemap.SetColor.html

[polar acorn]

You would need to set the tile's tileData to the new one you've made. Or pass it as a ref to ChangeColor

[polar acorn]

Or yeah, use that. I don't really work with tiles so I didn't know there was a function for it

[wintry quarry]

or this.color = whatever;

[prime cobalt]

I'm trying to change the color for rule all the rule tiles of a specific type within a tilemap not the whole tile map or an individual tile

[wintry quarry]

Try this

[prime cobalt]

Ok I'll try that

[ember tangle]

Thanks, that was a problem. I noticed that you can overload the Instantiate function, something like units.Add(Instantiate(prefab, new Vector3(0, 0, 0), Quaternion.identity) as GameObject);. Is it possible to use this overload to set a local position or is that argument always going to set the global position?

[wintry quarry]

it is always world space position

[ember tangle]

alright ty

[wintry quarry]

this form of Instantiate doesn't create it under a parent anyway

so local position wouldn't mattter

[polar acorn]

Also you don't need as GameObject if the prefab variable is of type GameObject

[final totem]

How do I use quality modes in ui like high low is there API for that?

[lime pasture]

CustomAnimation customAnim;
void Start()
    {
        customAnim = GetComponent<CustomAnimation>();
        
    }
 void StopGrapple()
    {
        customAnim.whenKeyPressed(true);
    }

why do i get the error "NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object" when stop grapple is played?

[polar acorn]

Because customAnim is null

Does this object have a CustomAnimation component on it?

[lime pasture]

no, one its parents do tho

[wintry quarry]

customAnim must be null, logically

[polar acorn]

So that would be why it's null

because there isn't one

[wintry quarry]

Well GetComponent doesn't care much about "one of its parents"

[lime pasture]

so I find the parent and then do get component?

[wintry quarry]

Maybe you want GetComponentInParent?

[polar acorn]

Or just make the field public and drag it in

[lime pasture]

yah i will try that

[prime cobalt]

There doesn't seem to be any function for setting the tile data. I tried this but it didn't work. I'm not sure if there's something about what you were suggesting that I'm missing... I'm sorry I'm pretty inexperienced...

[wintry quarry]

Shouldn't you be setting color?

Why are you reading color

[prime cobalt]

color is just a public variable that I created it isn't connected to anything

[wintry quarry]

Pretty sure what you want is someting like this:

public void ChangeColor(Vector3Int tilePos) {
  this.color = myITilemap.GetColor(tilePos);
}```

[wintry quarry]

Is this class derived from Tile?

[prime cobalt]

It's derived from RuleTile

[wintry quarry]

Then you maybe want:

public void ChangeColor(Vector3Int tilePos) {
  base.color = this.color;
}```

You shouldn't mask field names from the base class ideally

Oh I see TileBase doesn't have a color

[prime cobalt]

it says that color isn't in the base class

yeah

[wintry quarry]

well I guess I don't understand how you're using this color variable then

[prime cobalt]

like I said the color variable is just a public one I created and named color

The other scripts change the color variable then call ChangeColor

The tutorial I followed that was explaining rule tiles showed that you could make a public color variable, then set the tiledata to that color in gettiledata. So I've been trying to work off of that.

[swift crag]

The tile may have its color locked.

why is that a thing? i do not know!

let me find where that is..

[prime cobalt]

I tried unlocking it but it didn't work

It says there's no locks

[swift crag]

I have always just used tilemap.SetColor(theCell, theColor);

[swift crag]

ah, I see: you want to change them all

let me check something..

yeah, so the problem is that it just copies the data from your Tile asset. Changing the asset after setting the tile doesn't do anything.

I just tried doing that in a 2D project. Existing tiles didn't change.

New uses of the tile do use the new color, of course.

[prime cobalt]

Oh I see. That's too bad. Guess I'll have to find another solution.

[swift crag]

If the tilemap is small, iterate over the entire tilemap and just set colors as needed

If it's large, I'd make a hash set of Vector3Int that you populate with the positions of the tiles you want to change

[7:26] when I try to duplicate my image UI it suddenly turns into a script which does not happen here

[deft grail]

turns into a script how?

what does that mean

[winged valve]

If i create any type of UI Slider and press play it turns invisible and all children "Images" become "Scripts". This happends even if i dont use it for anything.

[deft grail]

screenshot it

[winged valve]

It suddenly turns into acript then gets invisible

And I always get this error code

[deft grail]

restart unity

something is definitely broken by looking at this icon

[winged valve]

I'll try it thanks

I got this error after re-opens the unity

Error loading the file 'VirtualArtifacts/Primary/13bd0b2b84cd782408ba37c684c50988'. File is either empty or corrupted, please verify the file contents.

[ember tangle]

I was able to Instantiate as child and shorten my code over all with units.Add(Instantiate(prefab, this.transform));

[hushed hinge]

one thing I'm trying to do is that when the player touches the Muon gameobject, the UI Image should switches to a face of the muon instead of being completely black, But instead when i touches the muon gameobject, the UI Image doesn't switch
https://gdl.space/exowoqaneh.cpp

like similar to when Mario collect giant coins

[frosty hound]

Is this code running? Verify that first.

[hushed hinge]

should I Debug?

[frosty hound]

That would be one way to verify it

And before you show some random code with a "like this?" Comment, please actually test it.

[hushed hinge]

the debug doesn't seem to trigger

[ivory bobcat]

Check this prior to the switch statementcs Debug.Log($"The tag was: {muonTag}");

[hushed hinge]

it doesn't seem to trigger the debug either

[ivory bobcat]

Where did you put the debug?

Is the function being called?

[hushed hinge]

I tried the first and the second one but doesn't call the Debug

[hushed hinge]

it still doesn't trigger the debug

nothing triggers the debug

[slender nymph]

then that method is not being called

[polar acorn]

If this one doesn't print the debug then you are never running this function

[hushed hinge]

oh

why isn't the function running?

[slender nymph]

where are you calling it from

[hushed hinge]

https://gdl.space/voseqiyolu.cs well it supposed to function when the Muon gameobject get touched and triggers and the UI Image changes to the face of the rescued muon

[slender nymph]

okay but where are you calling it from

[hushed hinge]

SetMuonRescued method should be called from the script or component that handles the player's interaction with the Muon GameObjects

[slender nymph]

okay so make sure that code is running

[hushed hinge]

but how?

[polar acorn]

The same way you just determined this one was not

[ivory bobcat]

You'll need to show us the script or component that handles the player's interaction - the one that supposedly calls this function.

[hushed hinge]

https://gdl.space/iqukoqudig.cpp

[polar acorn]

So, you remember how you just logged something before a conditional statement to see if it was occurring?

Do that, again, but here

log the thing you're checking for and see if it's actually true

[hushed hinge]

well I did try to Debug.log it but when i playtested and touches the gameobject, no debug.log appears in the console

[polar acorn]

Then that function isn't being run

[ivory bobcat]

Did you click on the object? OnMouseDown only occurs when the mouse button is down/clicked whilst over the target - the target requires a collider.
https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/MonoBehaviour.OnMouseDown.html

[hushed hinge]

the muon gameobjects have a collider

[ivory bobcat]

Did you click on them in the scene?

[polar acorn]

where did you put the log

[slender nymph]

there's also another huge logic issue here. you specifically check if the object you clicked on has the tag Muon then you pass it to your SetMuonRescued method which checks for different tags. so even once you get the code actually running, your logic is going to prevent it from working the way you expect it to

[hushed hinge]

well no, I walked into them as the player

[polar acorn]

and what about the function name OnMouseDown made you think walking into them had fucking anything to do with it

[ivory bobcat]

OnMouseDown only occurs when the mouse button is down/clicked whilst over the target

Maybe you're wanting on trigger enter

Though this would imply that you're using Rigidbody physics

[polar acorn]

Before we continue, I really, really want to know why you thought OnMouseDown was called when the player walked into it

[final totem]

should i use

sbyte[] sbyteArray = ArrayPool<sbyte>.Shared.Rent(5);

or normal arrays?

[hushed hinge]

I did searched up on google about interaction and see this, I didn't know OnMouseDown on void would have any meaning (since I only know that a lot of the things next to void are just having names to know what it is, except for start and awake)

[ivory bobcat]

What's the context and what do you mean by normal array? Are you referring to the type sbyte?

[polar acorn]

If the name doesn't mean anything, then it would literally never be running unless you specifically called it. So, if you assumed OnMouseDown was a name, where did you try to call it in your own code?

[final totem]

yeah i mean should i do sbyte[] {1,2,3} or rent from the pool and stuff?

[hushed hinge]

trying to call MuonUIController with the SetMuonRescued to tell the UI Image changes to different image base don what Muon you have Rescued
(I didn't know other names have meanings, I only know Start and Awake have meanings)

[polar acorn]

Are you running into performance issues related to memory allocation for arrays?

[paper peak]

[polar acorn]

So, either you thought it was a Unity function that Unity would call, or you thought it was a custom function that has to be called manually. I'll accept you didn't know it was a Unity function, so show where you were trying to call it manually

[ivory bobcat]

They're primitive value types. I don't see why you'd need to pool them.

[slender nymph]

do you see this error only in your IDE or do you see it in the unity console as well?

[paper peak]

I only see the error in the unity console

And because of this i cant set the reference in the serializefield

[slender nymph]

well that sounds like you either need to save your code again or your need to get your !IDE configured or both

[polar acorn]

Okay, and where are you calling that function?

[hushed hinge]

in MuonUIController script

[paper peak]

Im using Visual studio and it seems to be updated already

[polar acorn]

Where in MuonUIController

[hushed hinge]

https://gdl.space/pamenasome.cs in here

[polar acorn]

This is the same thing you just showed me

So where are you calling SetMuonRescued

[hushed hinge]

https://gdl.space/jeleneyuki.cpp in here

[paper peak]

public class OuumaNPC : MonoBehaviour
{
    [SerializeField]
    private MovementScript movementScript;
```Is this the right way to reference a script?

[polar acorn]

Okay, and as we established, you did not know OnMouseDown was a Unity function that would be automatically called, correct?

[hushed hinge]

yeah

[polar acorn]

So, where did you try to call OnMouseDown

[ivory bobcat]

You'll want to go through the installation guides again. You won't need to uninstall/reinstall but rather just run the installer. It'll allow you to modify your current installation. Most often, folks miss the workloads step (3) that has it's image shown below step 5 https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/gamedev/unity/get-started/getting-started-with-visual-studio-tools-for-unity?pivots=windows#install-visual-studio-and-unity

[hushed hinge]

I don't know where, it's the only script that have that OnMouseDown

[polar acorn]

So then we remain with the same question. Why did you think walking your character into this would call OnMouseDown

[ivory bobcat]

OnMouseDown doesn't do what you think it does.

[polar acorn]

Yes but even assuming that, I still want to know where this idea came from

[ivory bobcat]

This function will not be called unless you click on the Muno in the scene, which isn't what you're wanting to do.

[ivory bobcat]

Likely random copied code

They ought to really follow a tutorial instead of walking into this blindly

[polar acorn]

I know that but I'm continuing in my several-day journey to try to explain to them that reading the code explains the code

[paper peak]

I have this installed already, dint miss that step

[hushed hinge]

I just didn't know it was unity function, the only unity functions I know is awake and start, OnColliderEnter2D, OnColliderExit2D, etc

[polar acorn]

I know that. I don't care, I am willing to accept that you did not know. That does not change my question

[ivory bobcat]

Check your external tools in the Unity Editor and make sure it's correct (yours will show your version)
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/gamedev/unity/get-started/getting-started-with-visual-studio-tools-for-unity?pivots=windows#install-visual-studio-and-unity

[polar acorn]

Since you didn't know Unity would call it, that would mean that you tried to call it

so where

did you

try

either you thought "This is a Unity function" and it ran when something happened. Or you thought "This is not a Unity function" which would mean you intended to call it manually

[ivory bobcat]

The function won't automatically run if you don't call it or if it isn't a built-in callback function (message)

[polar acorn]

So either:

1. Where and when did you try calling it
2. Did you assume code is magic and it would just psychically know you wanted that function called at that point

[ivory bobcat]

Only the functions from the Messages section are automatically called, given the correct conditions.
https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/MonoBehaviour.html

[polar acorn]

Code means things. It can be understood. You have to stop assuming it's brain-scanning wizardry that can read your intentions as you type the Sacred Keystrokes™️ into the machine and that only The Ancient Ones can communicate with the Machine

For example, when I ask you "What do you think this line does" and your answer is "I don't remember it was a while since I wrote it" that's telling that you don't think code can be understood unless you were there when it was written. It's literally just words. It conveys meaning exactly as precise and discernable as my text on your screen right now.

Glyphs that translate into tangible thought. It does not matter whether the font is serif of monospace it's still language

[ivory bobcat]

You may need to regenerate your project and restart the Unity Editor if all of the above have been completed but still doesn't work (Intellisense). @paper peak
It's absolutely necessary to acquire help from this Discord server though as these are syntactical mistakes that really ought to be immediately addressed by Intellisense - you'll know it's incorrect the moment you try to type it (it would not even be an available option) or better yet, be given the appropriate correct suggestion.

[paper peak]

Should i be worried about this warning?

I restarted both Visual studio and unity, visual studio seems to be working better with c# so it seems to have fixed itself but now im getting this warning

[rich adder]

you closed project with compile error?

[polar acorn]

If you currently have compile errors, it can't be sure the editor scripts aren't to blame. Safe mode would disable all editor scripts so you can get in and fix them. You can hit ignore to go in, but your project won't run until you fix the errors

[hushed hinge]

I was busy doing something, is this better?

No, show MovementScript

[ivory bobcat]

This would only occur on a collision event between solid objects. I'm assuming your objects aren't solid though as they're trigger types.

[paper peak]

I dont get it, this is the script

Do they need to have the same name to be referenced?

[polar acorn]

No, this is PlayerMovement. Show MovementScript

[paper peak]

Ohh i see where youre getting at

I dint know they needed to have the same name

[ivory bobcat]

That would be the correct way how to reference a script called MovementScript.

[polar acorn]

How else would the code know which type you wanted

[paper peak]

Yeah it works now

I got too used to lua

[ivory bobcat]

I'm assuming there isn't such a thing which either implies your ide isn't configured or these were code before your configuration.

[paper peak]

So i got confused on how it works here

Also the other error about TextMeshProUGUI got fixed, seems like you were right and IDE wasnt properly configured

[hushed hinge]

since I am using the collider2D which triggers..

        }
    }
}

well it seems functional but the UI Image still doesn't change

[ivory bobcat]

Good job debugging thus far. So the script stated that player hit this object.

[polar acorn]

Okay, so you can see the tags that interacted with this. Now tell me, what is your code supposed to do when the thing it collides with is tagged Untagged or Player?

[hushed hinge]

is supposed to be tag Muon1, Muon2 and Muon3

which are the three gameobjects on

[polar acorn]

But right now the thing interacting with this object is tagged Untagged, or Player

You can see that

This object never collides with anything tagged Muon1, Muon2, or Muon3

[ivory bobcat]

You'll either want to have this script on the other object (the player) OR check/use this object's tag instead after evaluating if Player had hit this object (assuming this component was placed on a Muon)

[hushed hinge]

the 3 main objects have the 3 tag names

[polar acorn]

Then none of these objects are colliding with the object that has this script on it

[hushed hinge]

the 3 objects have the interaction script on each though

[polar acorn]

Doesn't change the fact that nothing tagged Muon1, Muon2, or Muon3 is colliding with any object that has this script on it

[ivory bobcat]

They're the Muon. What had hit them isn't a Muon.

[hushed hinge]

that is strange

[polar acorn]

Why is it strange? Where is a Muon colliding with an object that has this script on it?

[ivory bobcat]

The OnTriggerEnter2d message is from the perspective of who got hit. The script is on the Muon object so other would have a tag of "Player" and not "MuonX"

[hushed hinge]

so, i am supposed to put it on the player?

[paper rover]

Hey! For some reason my shaderGraph effects arent rendering in the game, but it is in the scene. Is there anything I should be looking for to fix this??

[ivory bobcat]

Try it and see

[polar acorn]

You're supposed to think a bit. Which object do you want to be doing a thing, and when do you want that thing to be happening

[ivory bobcat]

This is the beginner coding channel. You'll probably get more appropriate support in #archived-shaders or #💻┃unity-talk

[hushed hinge]

when i tried it, it's debugging ground2 for some reason, and when I touched the gameobject, the animations aren'ts working anymore

[ivory bobcat]

The logs are correct so at the very least you know the code is flowing correctly.

[polar acorn]

The reason it's logging ground2 is because you're colliding with something tagged ground2

you're logging the tag of the thing that this object collides with

[hushed hinge]

oh

[polar acorn]

Again: not magic

it does exactly what you tell it to do

[hushed hinge]

yeah, but the animations for the muon when it gets rescued aren't working anymore (or the script of the muons)

[polar acorn]

So, what plays the animations

[hushed hinge]

another script called MuonController

[spare mountain]

any errors?

[polar acorn]

So, put to use the skills you've just learned. You know how to call functions, and you know how to debug log. Find out what's calling it and why it isn't playing

[ivory bobcat]

Maybe show your current SetMuonRescue code

not really a code question but when i build and run my project some sprites dont export with the project (at least thats what it looks like)

ye mb

[polar acorn]

Log muonTag before the switch. See what tag it gets

[polar acorn]

Okay looks like it's running just fine.

[hushed hinge]

yeah, and for some reasuon MuonController script in the Muon gameobjects are not working

[polar acorn]

What are you expecting to happen that isn't happening

[hushed hinge]

like when you interact with the gameobject, it does the rescue animation and the the happy animation when he's rescued. https://gdl.space/ireketekux.cs

[polar acorn]

This is a completely new script. When did we start talking about this one?

[hushed hinge]

this is for the Muon Gameobjects to do the animations when the player collides with them. I just wondering because this script doesn't owrk anymore after putting the MuonInteraction on the player object

[polar acorn]

So, this is a completely new on trigger function. You know how to log the object this collided with to see what tag it has

try that

[polar acorn]

Instead of just logging text, why not log the thing you check in the if statement right after

[plain owl]

Hello! I think I have a simple question - I'm trying to do a raycast from an object to an area in front of the object (to see if there's any colliders there) so I tried using this.transform.forward (the object's transform direction)
but when I rotate the object the raycast remains fixed in one spot (doesn't change depending on where the object is facing)
is there a different vector I should be using to get the forward direction?

[polar acorn]

Instead of just logging text, why not log the thing you check in the if statement right after

[hushed hinge]

private void OnTriggerEnter2D(Collider2D collision)
    {
        Debug.Log("OnTriggerEnter2D");

        if (collision.CompareTag("Player") || CompareTag("Player 2") && !isRescued)
        {
            Debug.Log("muon collision");
            isRescued = true;
            animator.SetTrigger("Rescued");
            animator.SetBool("isRescued", true);
            popSound.Play();

            // Start a coroutine to handle the happy animation and disappearance
            StartCoroutine(HappyAnimationAndDisappear());
        }
    }

it do debug OnTriggerEnter2D but not muon collision

[polar acorn]

Instead of just logging text, why not log the thing you check in the if statement right after

[teal viper]

Dejavu

But really instead of logging text, you should log the thing.

[radiant stump]

Hi i have a question with a simple mechanic i am trying to develop, it is a system where you are using a shopping cart and i need the shopping cart to lag behind the player's movements. I got the rotation working but the movement is tricky since the cart is parented to the player. I have the cart working where it will move to the player's position with the lag, but in only one direction

[spare mountain]

if you use a smoothdamp or lerp or something with an offset on the player's transform.forward it should work in any axis

[hushed hinge]

what do you mean by log the thing?

[spare mountain]

I might unparent it to prevent other issues too but if you can get it to work while parented go for it

[spare mountain]

the thing you're checking linedol
if you're trying to figure out why x isn't y, log x and not some random string

[radiant stump]

Thanks, ill try to see what i can do

[spare mountain]

wrong reply?
lmk if you have any other questions tho

[radiant stump]

oh, mb

[polar acorn]

Instead of just logging text, why not log the thing you check in the if statement right after

[hushed hinge]

what am I suppesed to write?

[polar acorn]

Instead of just logging text, why not log the thing you check in the if statement right after

[hushed hinge]

that doesn't explain anything

[spare mountain]

😭

[polar acorn]

which part of that sentence do you not understand

[spare mountain]

if your goal is to figure out why something isn't working
figure out what is happening that isn't what you expect
and then make it what you expect

[hushed hinge]

"why not log the thing you check in the if statement right after" like what am i supposed to write there?

[spare mountain]

... a debug.log of the thing you're checking

[polar acorn]

Please tell me what part of that sentence you do not understand

[hushed hinge]

that instead of text, log the thing i check in the statement right after, like what is it I'm supposed to write, like this?

[spare mountain]

that's certainly a start

[polar acorn]

Hey see what you can accomplish whenever you actually think

Instead of just waiting for someone to write it for you

[spare mountain]

🤯

[hushed hinge]

when i did that and tried, nothing debugs like if (collision.CompareTag("Player") || CompareTag("Player 2") && !isRescued) is not functionaly

[spare mountain]

you have to put it outside the if statement

[polar acorn]

If nothing logged, then that line is never reached

[frosty hound]

[slender nymph]

there's a checkbox for vsync in the aspect ratio selector for the game view. also not a code question

[rancid tinsel]

my circlecollider2D and polygoncollider2D are not detecting collisions, any idea what the issue might be?

the object with the polygoncollider2D is a prefab that gets instantiated at runtime, just fyi incase that matters

[slender nymph]

https://unity.huh.how/physics-messages

[rancid tinsel]

I did what it says on there already

[slender nymph]

then show the other rigidbody2d involved in the collision

[rancid tinsel]

there is no other rigidbody2D

[slender nymph]

then you did not do what it says on there already

[rancid tinsel]

I don't see anything about rigidbodies there

I'm confused

[slender nymph]

a kinematic Rigidbody2D will only produce an OnCollisionEnter2D message when it comes into contact with a non-kinematic Rigidbody2D

https://unity.huh.how/physics-messages/collision-matrix-2d

[rancid tinsel]

oh I see

but in general you only need 1 rigidbody right?

for collisions

[slender nymph]

look at the collision matrix and find out

ignore them in what capacity?

[silk jackal]

not allow player to press mouse buttons

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[slender nymph]

that's not very descriptive. but the obvious answer is to just . . . not do anything in response to those button clicks

[storm pine]

If you just want to block the mouse input at some point you can play with the Event System. Check this video,it is a bit old but very clarifying: https://youtu.be/EVZiv7DLU6E?si=w9j1KmS_tzBOFzZx

[static cedar]

Hi peps, how do you download a package from github?

Say this one for example. https://github.com/azixMcAze/Unity-SerializableDictionary

[slender nymph]

that one is not set up to be a proper package that you can import using the package manager. you just need to download and import the unitypackage file from the releases

but this is how you would do it for a proper package hosted via git: https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/upm-ui-giturl.html

Ah that makes more sense.

[fossil tree]

hello why this line dont work ??? ``` target = GameObject.FindGameObjectsWithTag("player").transform;

target is ``    public Transform target;``

[cursive hinge]

can someone please take a look and tell me how can i make so i dont freeze while jumping 🙏
https://hastebin.com/share/edesebayoq.java

[willow scroll]

An array doesn't have a transform variable

Read the error message

[fossil tree]

but its not a array

[willow scroll]

"Find Game Objects"

[fossil tree]

omg ty

at 1 letter xd

[willow scroll]

Right, that's why read the error messages. It should explain you everything.

[willow scroll]

What does "freeze while jumping" mean?

Do you jump and then simply "fly"?

Without gravity being applied?

[cursive hinge]

when i press jump, i get lifted then gravity sets me back on the ground, i dont know how to implement a smooth jump so when i jumo while walking, i jump into that direction

[willow scroll]

First of all, in this code, the value should be added instead of being assigned

moveDirection.y += Mathf.Sqrt(jumpHeight * 2f * gravity);

[teal viper]

The issue is that you only apply movement when grounded:

vate void UpdateMovement()
    {
        if (isGrounded)
        {

You need to implement movement logic when not grounded.

[willow scroll]

Why would they want to use WASD movement when in the middle of the jump?

The gravity is already applied in Update method when the character is not grounded

// Apply gravity
if (!isGrounded)
{
    isJumping = true;
    moveDirection.y += Physics.gravity.y * Time.deltaTime;
}

[cursive hinge]

oh im silly

[cursive hinge]

well in an fps game you can move while jumping? you dont just move up

[willow scroll]

Actually, why do you even apply 2 gravities?

// Update
moveDirection.y += Physics.gravity.y * Time.deltaTime;

// UpdateMovement
moveDirection.y -= gravity * Time.deltaTime;

[cursive hinge]

sorry im a begginer 😭

[willow scroll]

I'm not blaming you, it was a simple question

[topaz mortar]

you will never outgrow mistakes like this 🙂

I still make em

[willow scroll]

Physics.gravity.y is -9.81 by default, so both gravities are applied to the bottom

[topaz mortar]

they're the hardest to find as well, since your code is doing what it's supposed to

[cursive hinge]

ive coded most of the code without the jump and then i copied the jump code from https://forum.unity.com/threads/rigidbody-fps-controller-jumping.1050956/ as someone suggested me yesterday from this chat. So it's quie a mess atm

[willow scroll]

Why would you copy the code from the question, which reports undesired behavior?

[willow scroll]

Well, right, but this is not what's causing the issue

Also enabling moving while still being in a jump is up to you

[willow scroll]

Have you fixed this one?

[cursive hinge]

yes 😓

[willow scroll]

Does this change something?

[cursive hinge]

well i cant jump as isGrounded is set to true because of gravity but if i set isGrounded to always true in UpdateMovement i can sometime jump, sometimes it doesnt seem to work

i dont have any record app but if you want i could stream you the results

[teal viper]

It doesn't have to be wasd. It can be whatever they want. The point is to implement that logic.

[willow scroll]

The "Top Left Down Right" logic is usually referred to as WASD.

[willow scroll]

If you're using Windows, it has a built-in recording tool, which can be accessed by pressing Windows + G

[willow scroll]

Why would you set isGrounded to true, if it should just be equal to controller.isGrounded

I would say, the gravity should be applied regardless of the isGrounded boolean

// Apply gravity
if (!isGrounded)
{
    isJumping = true;
    moveDirection.y += Physics.gravity.y * Time.deltaTime;
}

[cursive hinge]

video is too large for discord 🙂

Don't make your video longer than 30 seconds

[cursive hinge]

like so?

https://www.toptal.com/developers/hastebin

[willow scroll]

Well, so what's the issue?

I see your character jumping perfectly, am I missing something?

[willow scroll]

You have sent the empty code

[cursive hinge]

im jumping good once every two times

[cursive hinge]

sorry let me fix it

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

[fossil tree]

wth my particle dont spawn :( void OnTriggerEnter2D () { Instantiate(explosionEffect, transform.position, transform.rotation); Destroy(gameObject); }

[willow scroll]

Well, you're jumping just when the character is grounded?

[fossil tree]

that only Destroy my gameobject but not instanciate my effect

[cursive hinge]

im trying to only allow to jump if charater isgrounded then remove the is grounded as it's not touching the air

[willow scroll]

isGrounded is assigned to the CharacterController.isGrounded, so it's managed by the CharacterController and you don't have to do it yourself

[tender walrus]

Anyone knows a way to visualize Physics.CheckBox(position, halfExtents, Rotation) I'm using it in code and want to check if the behaviour is correct

[cursive hinge]

OnDrawGizmos ?

[cursive hinge]

im a little lost here

[willow scroll]

Using Gizmos.DrawCube

[tender walrus]

thx guys

[willow scroll]

What exactly makes you lost?

[cursive hinge]

i dont understand the message about isGround

[willow scroll]

explosionEffect is a ParticleSystem, right? It should be spawned correctly. You may want to print its name, position etc.

There is a probability of you simply not seeing it

[fossil tree]

yes is that i have try the question is why i dont see it :(

its a official unity asset

[willow scroll]

How do you set your isGrounded?

[cursive hinge]

isGrounded = controller.isGrounded;

[muted cradle]

why are wheel collider so shit and how can I make the steering better?

[fossil tree]

its a prefab with particle system

[willow scroll]

Probably, because of your ParticleSystem not being visible. It is instantiated.

[fossil tree]

and how i make it visible

[willow scroll]

Change the ParticleSystem

You're spawning either an invisible one or the one flying away

[bronze zenith]

is there a way to connect my backround to my camera

(2d)

[fossil tree]

i change it by what ?

[willow scroll]

Change how it's looking

[bronze zenith]

like yk so that i dont have to extend the backround cause when i do that it stretches the image and it looks bad

[cursive hinge]

like a ui element you mean?

[fossil tree]

i use the gameobject explosion from prefab of the particle asset pack from unity

[tender walrus]

actually I'm checking on a specific orientation and drawcube doesn't allow that

[bronze zenith]

idrk

[willow scroll]

Camera is a GameObject. Any GameObject can be connected to the other GameObject by making them the children of the same parent. Assigning the positions via script is usually a better option though.

[tender walrus]

guess I will have to make it in gizmo

[bronze zenith]

ill do this when i get home then

[fossil tree]

this one https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/vfx/particles/particle-pack-127325

[willow scroll]

What do you mean by "making it in Gizmos"?
Gizmos.DrawCube, which is, obviously, used in Gizmos, doesn't allow to change the rotation of the cube drawn directly, but you may want to change the rotation of the entire Gizmos by assigning its matrix.

Matrix4x4 Gizmos.matrix has the Quaternion Matrix4x4.rotation variable

Have a look at this thread

[cursive hinge]

[willow scroll]

Well, yeah, you spawn a particle, so it should, somehow, be visible

If it's not, you should, somehow, make is visible

[tender walrus]

ohh thank you

and I meant using gizmo.drawline to make an oriented cube lol

[willow scroll]

That's also an option, right

[cursive hinge]

// Check if the player is grounded
        isGrounded = controller.isGrounded;

        // Jumping
        if (Input.GetKeyDown(jumpKey) && isGrounded)
        {
            //moveDirection.y = jumpForce;
            moveDirection.y += Mathf.Sqrt(jumpHeight * 22f * gravity);
            Debug.Log("Jumping move:" + moveDirection.y + " gravity:" + gravity + " jumpHeight:" + jumpHeight + " jumpSpeed:" + jumpSpeed + " isGrounded:" + isGrounded + " jumpForce:" + jumpForce + " Time.deltaTime:" + Time.deltaTime);
        }

        // Apply gravity
        if (!isGrounded)
        {
            isJumping = true;
        }

        moveDirection.y += Physics.gravity.y * Time.deltaTime;

        // Apply vertical movement
        controller.Move(moveDirection * Time.deltaTime);

i don't understand why the jump is inconsistent

[fossil tree]

bro nvm im so dumb i just dont save...

but now i have another problem xd

wth this is purple like that 😭

[willow scroll]

You haven't understood what I've been telling you before, so I have asked you about the way of you setting the isGrounded boolean. Answering the question yourself may help you to understand it.

[willow scroll]

moveDirection is just not the same all the time.

[willow scroll]

Well, these are your particles, who knows

Check the materials used

[fossil tree]

no its asset i download from unity store

[willow scroll]

Well, something's wrong with the materials

[fossil tree]

this is my material

[willow scroll]

If you play the particles in the edit mode, is it the same as in the game?

[willow scroll]

Also you're supposed to apply the gravity float to your moveDirection.y

moveDirection.y -= gravity * Time.deltaTime;

[ivory bobcat]

You're incrementing the value in the if statement and decrementing the value later with gravity. If the increment is less than the decrement, your move direction will decrease and vise versa.

[fossil tree]

yes

ok i find with this tutorial: https://youtu.be/FnYJaiSAJV8

ty

and now that looping (i disable looping option)

oh i see

its fine now

[magic panther]

I have a weird issue: I have a crate and a metal crate. I'd like them to be the exact same in every way (obviously different models, ignore that), except have the metal crate's checkObstacle function have a few lines changed. I have no idea how I could do that. Anything I try results in errors. Can someone tell me how to do that?

Crate Script -> https://hatebin.com/allknucvqv
Metal Crate Script -> https://hatebin.com/neqhpqkrum

[storm pine]

You shouldn't add the same variables from the parent on the child, even if you don't see them imagine that your child class has everything the parent has. Instead of "private" you should use "protected". On the child class (MetalCrate in your case) you don't have to declare it again, just change the values or use them whatever function you want

[magic panther]

lemme test that

this error appears

[storm pine]

Have you deleted the variables form MetalCrate and yous change private to protected on Crate?

[magic panther]

I got that wrong. One sec

[storm pine]

On MetalCrate you shouldn't have any variable, just the ones that you will use that are not in the parent

[magic panther]

It works just how I needed it. Thanks a lot, I'll keep the protected trick in mind

||Unrelated to previous question||

This code is weirdly nested and looks ugly. I have no idea what I could do with it to keep the same functionality but reduce the ugliness. Or is this exactly how it should be written?

got rid of that unnecessary metalCrate variable

[willow scroll]

Yeah, but maybe we need some extra info aout of the screenshot to see what is doing and try to refactor it

[magic panther]

didn't think about refactoring just yet honestly

[willow scroll]

Ask your question properly, without laziness, if you expect people to spend their time answering it, especially if you expect an actual helpful answer, not "yeah, go see some stuff to write code".

[storm pine]

get rid of the nested code is refactoring

[green ether]

if (!encounteredWall || !hitInfo.collider.TryGetComponent(out Wall wall)) {
        lastMoveDir = checkDir;
        currentMoveStep = moveSteps;
        return false;
    }

cant you do something like this before?

to early return

[magic panther]

early return?

[magic panther]

this instead of the whole if chain, right?

[frank zodiac]

how do i use the new input system?

[willow scroll]

See a tutorial

[green ether]

virtual public bool checkObstacle(Vector3 checkDir, float castSize) {
    bool encounteredWall = Physics.BoxCast(transform.position + new Vector3(0f, crateSize / 2, 0f), Vector3.one * (castSize / 3f), checkDir, out RaycastHit hitInfo, Quaternion.identity, castSize);

    if (!encounteredWall || !hitInfo.collider.TryGetComponent(out Wall wall)) {
        lastMoveDir = checkDir;
        currentMoveStep = moveSteps;
        return false;
    }

    if (wall is Crate crate) {
        if (crate is MetalCrate) { return true; } 
        else { return crate.checkObstacle(checkDir, castSize); }
    } 
    else { return true; }
}

I guess it not too much better

[frank zodiac]

i did but they all use different methods, whats the best way to use it?

[magic panther]

lemme see

[willow scroll]

Well, there is no "best method"? Simply subscribe to the stuff when you need it

[frank zodiac]

what do you mean by subscribe?

[willow scroll]

I would also consider the default C# naming conventions

[magic panther]

now this happens

[willow scroll]

You'll have to read or see something about the new Input System. It uses events, which are supposed to be subscribed to

[frank zodiac]

okay then

[green ether]

I reformated a bit how I like it

yeah i didnt change any namings

[magic panther]

when you push 2 or more only the last one moves

but so does the player

[green ether]

did I do a mistake?

I dont think I changed the logic but im not 100%

[magic panther]

Just in case I'll send you the code to confirm if this is how you wanted it pasted -> https://hatebin.com/bldwycqsbp

[willow scroll]

This code looks much better

And I don't see any logic changed either

[green ether]

Ah wait

I think i see it

In my one this line

        else { return crate.checkObstacle(checkDir, castSize); }

[willow scroll]

That's how it's supposed to be

[green ether]

it just returns

it doesnt set the

            lastMoveDir = checkDir;

            currentMoveStep = moveSteps;

like it did before

[willow scroll]

I see, right

[green ether]

my mistake

[magic panther]

np, which bit do I change?

[green ether]

It only is wrong if that check returns false

But then you need another nested if again and we're back at where we started

[storm pine]

I think this should work and is more clear. https://hatebin.com/jzcosrndbi

[magic panther]

I think at least for now I'll keep it as it is. There might be more variants of variants I add and this can devolve into another kind of mess. Thanks for the help anyways

[willow scroll]

The logic is completely changed

[storm pine]

I don't think so, it just needed to add a return true on default, I think it should give the same results, I just made it quickly.
The complete method: https://hatebin.com/sajbvkuqia

[willow scroll]

I would do it this way

public virtual bool CheckObstacle(Vector3 checkDir, float castSize) 
{
    bool encounteredWall = Physics.BoxCast(
        transform.position + crateSize / 2f * Vector3.up, 
        castSize / 3f * Vector3.one, checkDir, 
        out RaycastHit hitInfo,  Quaternion.identity, castSize);

    if (!encounteredWall || !hitInfo.collider.TryGetComponent(out Wall wall))
    {
        UpdateDirection();
        return false;
    }

    if (wall is Crate crate)
    {
        if (crate is MetalCrate)
            return true;
        
        bool hasObstacle = crate.checkObstacle(checkDir, castSize);
        
        if (!hasObstacle)
            UpdateDirection();

        return hasObstacle;
    }

    return true;

    void UpdateDirection()
    {
        lastMoveDir = checkDir;
        currentMoveStep = moveSteps;
    }
}

[magic panther]

what is UpdateDirection

[willow scroll]

Added at the end

[magic panther]

updatedirection here is really just moveObject, but I guess that's not really telligible from my end

[willow scroll]

Just rename this method how you want

This code shouldn't change your logic and is more readable, as for me

[willow scroll]

This case is never true

case MetalCrate metalCrate:
    return true;
    break;

MetalCrate is derived from Crate, so it's impossible for the Crate check to fail if the wall has the MetalCrate type

case Crate crate:
    crate.checkObstacle(checkDir, castSize);
    break;

[strong token]

Won't lines like these crate.checkObstacle(checkDir, castSize); make him loop to freeze anyways? Since a crate is somehow a wall, i guess to override interact?

[willow scroll]

I'm not sure what you mean. Why would this make him loop to freeze?

I see, yeah, haven't mentioned the name of the method

It should make an infinite recursion

Not sure why they're doing it though

@magic panther

[magic panther]

yes?

[willow scroll]

Read the previous messages. You, apparantly, may have an infinite recursio

Wondering if object is serializable? I'm going to use custom editor for this.

[languid spire]

afaik object is not serializable by Unity

[magic panther]

it is a theoretical one

if somehow there were infinitely many crates in a row, they'd infinitely check for a wall in front of the ininite row of crates

I could put a theoretical limit of 100 crates being moved at once

If this somehow happens I messed up really bad

[static cedar]

Any sources? I can't see anywhere that directly says this.

[fossil tree]

hello i have a question how can i make a loop for a limited time like "i want repeat that for 2 second"

[languid spire]

Simply experience. declare a public object variable and see that it does not appear in the inspector

[distant hill]

What are the general way people handle Characters like Player and Enemy in a RPG?

1. ScriptableObjects
2. Prefabs
3. Using a Dictionary that holds all the info?

baseStats = new Dictionary<string, float>
    {
        {"Health", 100},
        {"MaxHealth", 100},
        {"Armor", 50},
    };

4. Something else entirely?

[languid spire]

float timer=0f;
do { timer += Time.deltaTime; } while (timer <= 2f)

[static cedar]

[distant hill]

Wouldn't a coroutine work better?

[fossil tree]

like that ? float timer = 0f;
do { timer += Time.deltaTime; } while (timer <= 2f);
{
//my code
}

[static cedar]

I'm thinking, isn't that synchronous?

[languid spire]

no

[fossil tree]

where i write my code

[barren vapor]

I use prefabs

[languid spire]

between the { and } like any other scope

[fossil tree]

before the timer += Time.deltaTime; or after

You can just make a class that has these fields defined.

[cosmic dagger]

there are many different ways. what you have is one of them. you can define all of the stats in a separate class/struct, individual fields as part of the Player class, or as SOs (to avoid misspellings) with a dictionary

your actual player or characters can be prefabs to easily customize them. some people use a Stat class to hold and manipulate the value of the stat, or a Resource class for stats that can replenish . . .

[languid spire]

gameObject.transform.SetParent(newParent.transform)

[fossil tree]

ty

a kid follow his parent right ?

like if the parent move my kid too?

[distant hill]

techinally yes, but all the lost children in the mall might contradict you

[fossil tree]

xddd

[languid spire]

@fossil tree Sorry, but why are you doing a game jam if you do not know these absolute basics?

[fossil tree]

i know the basic but never use this its ok i have learn now

i make jam for learning yk

[cosmic dagger]

But you can easily how to parent an object in unity. It's not that hard to search first . . .

[fossil tree]

its true sry

[languid spire]

Generally jams are used to showcase knowledge and skill you already have, not to start learning

[potent anvil]

how do i reference a script in another script to use its funtion

[distant hill]

a lot of people would argue otherwise, some people need a clear deadline and objective to start learning things

[fossil tree]

i not start learning its not my first game

[fossil tree]

yes

[rich adder]

https://unity.huh.how/references/serializing-component-references

[fossil tree]

without gamejam its hard for me to find game idea and put deadline

[cosmic dagger]

https://unity.huh.how/references

[thorny hamlet]

i reset my window and now i got this error how to fix guy

[languid spire]

An interesting concept but I would argue that a jam is a far from ideal environment to actually learn anything

[rich adder]

try regen project files

[thorny hamlet]

how to do that

[rich adder]

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/gamedev/unity/get-started/getting-started-with-visual-studio-tools-for-unity?pivots=windows#configure-unity-to-use-visual-studio

On this screen you should see it, ( assuming you configured all the steps before)

[cosmic dagger]

That's new to me. I've never heard anyone doing a game jam to learn Unity. How would you know anything helpful within such a small time frame?

I've only heard or seen people do them to test their knowledge (whether solo or with a team) or try making a prototype . . .

[honest haven]

    {
        if (GameManager.instance.battleActive && !loadBattle)
        {
            StartCoroutine(LoadSplash());
        }
    }

    private IEnumerator LoadSplash()
    {
        loadBattle = true;
        Debug.Log("Calling LoadSplash");
        yield return new WaitForSeconds(1);
        effectInstance = Instantiate(battleSplash);
        Debug.Log("calling after instantiate");
    }``` my coroutine does not hit the effectInstance. before i look else where in the code. do you think its the update becuase im setting loadBattle to true

[rich adder]

do you have timescale set to 0 ?

or does object get disabled at some point?

[cosmic dagger]

The coroutine is already called, so assigning loadBattle within the coroutine will not stop it from running . . .

[languid spire]

@distant hill The OP has already stated 'He is doing the jam to learn' but also 'I'm doing a jam so I don't have time to learn'. Do you not see the dichotomy in this?

[cosmic dagger]

Is the GameObject destroyed at any point?

[thorny hamlet]

it work thank you

[strong wren]

    public GameObject Coin;
    private void OnCollisionEnter2D(Collision2D collision)
    {
        Coin.SetActive(false);
        SS.Score++;
        SS.Health.value++;
        
    }```

so im not getting an error but the Score and health isnt going up

[honest haven]

i do but i added a bool to double check its not being called and its not

[rich adder]

how do you know they are not going up

[strong wren]

i tried changing the score whilst im in a game and well ofc it works but it doesnt work whne im colliding with the GameObject

[strong wren]

because they are not 🙂 i have tested it

[languid spire]

is the code even running?

[rich adder]

check the timescale value, before hitting the WaitForSeconds then

[honest haven]

yh so thats what im thinking as its yielding back to update and its now false

[strong wren]

yes

[cosmic dagger]

Does the Coin GameObject deactivate? Are you sure the collision occurred?

[languid spire]

prove it

[rich adder]

in what way?

[strong wren]

yes the collision occured the coin is then Deactivated

[rich adder]

also where is ScoreSystem SS;

assigned

so far thats a null reference

[strong wren]

well i started the game i collided with the coin and the coin dissapeared yet no Score Value Added

[strong wren]

its another Script File

[rich adder]

but how do you know the value didn't go up ?

[rich adder]

I know what it is, Im asking where you assigned it

[cosmic dagger]

Is the SS field properly assigned?

[languid spire]

you debug code by looking at the code, not the game view

[strong wren]

because in the inspector its still 0

[rich adder]

ok

[honest haven]

yes time scale is 0

[rich adder]

ah yes then thats a problem

[strong wren]

i have it all assigned on my canvas

[cosmic dagger]

Coroutines pause when the time scale is 0 . . .

[honest haven]

im not setting it

[rich adder]

if you want yield to ignore timescale you want WaitForSecondRealtime

[strong wren]

yes

[rich adder]

show where

[languid spire]

you cannot assign SS on your canvas, it is a private variable

[cosmic dagger]

You have to use WaitForSecondsRealtime instead . . .

[rich adder]

Not setting in there directly , but if it hits while timescale is 0 it wont continue

[honest haven]

does that ignore timescale?

[cosmic dagger]

Yes . . .

[strong wren]

but the SS isnt a variable im calling the score and Health Value from the other script, and in the other script its set to be public

[rich adder]

I dont see SS assigned

[cosmic dagger]

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/WaitForSecondsRealtime.html

[languid spire]

that is not filling the declaration you showed in your code

[real rock]

I'm realising I should probably adapt my timer code to account for this

[rich adder]

given so far you have not assigned it, your console is also in a different tab, makes me think you didn't check for NullRef at all @strong wren

[cosmic dagger]

You created a variable called SS in the code snippet you provided. You must assign or reference that variable to the GameObject with the ScoreSystem script attached to it . . .

[strong wren]

oh yeah i do get a nullref error

[languid spire]

Beg to differ this

ScoreSystem SS;

is a private variable of type ScoreSystem called SS which is Null because you do not assign anything to it

[rich adder]

yeah code doesn't lie

[cosmic dagger]

Always check the console for errors . . .

[rich adder]

if its private and you haven't assigned it else where in code, its null

[potent anvil]

ok so i did it but now how do i reset the highscore

[cosmic dagger]

And make sure they're visible to the console . . .

[potent anvil]

so the player can reset the highscore

[cosmic dagger]

The same way you reset any value . . .

[strong wren]

ye this is the error

[potent anvil]

just make the value 0?

[rich adder]

use the assignment operator

[cosmic dagger]

Test it; try it out . . .

That's game dev . . .

[rich adder]

we even have emoji for it

[cosmic dagger]

If I move my hand and I want to reset it, I'll move it back to a previous or a default position. The same applies to anything you want to reset . . .

[strong wren]

so i have to attach the code to the GameObject?

[potent anvil]

yea my brain was not working

[strong wren]

oh nvm

[rich adder]

thats not how you assign it

[strong wren]

nvm

i fixed it

[rich adder]

it should be either done in the inspector or code with assigment operator

[strong wren]

ye i just realized i have to Attach smth to the SS and in my case its the Canvas since its the GameObject with the code

fixed it

thanks guys

[rich adder]

[rich adder]

just being pedantic , but
"attaching" and assigning are kinda different terms

[strong wren]

yep

[static cedar]

Yeah maybe i should try game jams.

[fossil tree]

that really cool fr if you need help for find them i can give you some website or server

[tranquil scarab]

https://gdl.space/ayujumowac.cs Hey i have a question about this bit of code. the thing i am trying to create is a simple script for handling downforce of a car controller. when i use this bit of code the car at high speeds begins to wobble and bug a lot. how can i fix this? oh and im using wheel colliders btw

[strong token]

I dont know why the described error occurs, but in general you shouldn't handle physics in update, instead put it into FixedUpdate().

[tranquil scarab]

i dont really get a error but the car handling is terrible and not really realistic. the car is giving weird results. however for the fixed update part didnt think about that but sounds logical. i will change that see if it gives any better results

[meager osprey]

Hello, do you know how to configure the NetworkRoomManager? Can i get some explication thx

[rich adder]

#archived-networking

[twilit jolt]

Hey everyone, quick question
i'm doing a small game for a jam, and i have a shopping cart, that can get items put into it
the items are non kinematic rigidbodies with box colliders on them

my issue is, i'm trying to get every item in the players cart, and my quick and dirty solution was just doing an overlapbox on the cart, and then looping over the stuff to check for items
but for some reason the overlapbox returns an empty array every time (the green wirebox shows the area and the position of the overlapbox, it should by all accounts get every items collider, yet it does not)

i used overlaps a bunch of times before, and never had this happen, so i don't know what could be causing it

[rich adder]

how do you know the array is returning empty?

[twilit jolt]

i printed out the array right after getting it, and log shows an empty array (second picture i attached)

[rich adder]

the array object is there, its not gonna show it like [amountofitems] you're logging the whole array object, so its just []

try logging the Length property

itemsInCart.Length

[ivory bobcat]

Maybe show your implementation

[twilit jolt]

it shows up properly now
ig the issue was with the stuff i do after getting the array, and not with the overlap

for some reason i remembered that just printing the array shows the contents too, which made me think it was empty lol
i should be able to fix the stuff after the overlap easily, thanks for the help

[rich adder]

I think the only time you can see contents is via breakpoints /debugger, stepping through code

but at least its sorted now

if you don't do it often no need to worrry, if you do this caluculation often consider using the non-alloc version

[strong wren]

  public Slider Health;
  void Update()
 {
     Health.value -= 1 * Time.deltaTime;
 }```

hey does anyone know why my code isnt working? im not getting an error, i want the slider to slowly go down every second but it wont is there any reason behind that?

[ivory bobcat]

What happens instead?

[strong wren]

nothing

[ivory bobcat]

Maybe log the health value after

You might be referencing the wrong slider

[strong wren]

not possible since i only have 1 slider

[fossil tree]

hi again why when i randomRange my number (event number) i got everytime 1 IEnumerator Event() { while (true) { yield return new WaitForSeconds(timeForEvent); if (timeForEvent >= 2) { timeForEvent = timeForEvent - 0.4f; } int eventNumber = Random.Range(1,2); Debug.Log(eventNumber); if (eventNumber == 1) { missiles = missile; } if (eventNumber == 2) { missiles = missile_suivant; } StartCoroutine(missile_event()); } }

[ivory bobcat]

Assuming the value is updated

[strong wren]

no, no value is going down

[ivory bobcat]

Integer would have the max exclusive (not accounted)

[fossil tree]

why its write inclusive in the doc

[rich adder]

only floats are max inclusive, nowhere it doc says otherwise

[fossil tree]

oh i see ty

[ivory bobcat]

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Random.Range.html

[fossil tree]

i have not see ty

[ivory bobcat]

When you log, does the value decrease?

[strong wren]

wdym by log?

[willow scroll]

The overload for float is inclusive

[ivory bobcat]

Debug Log

[strong wren]

i dont have a debug.log

[ivory bobcat]

@strong wren

I'm assuming it becomes zero immediately

[strong wren]

no nothing is happending

[strong wren]

i also expected that

[ivory bobcat]

Maybe the script isn't on the object in the scene if you aren't getting any logs

[strong wren]

i dont have a log, and i dont really know how to add a log in here i cant just add Debug.log in the Update Function since thatl just well Give me a log every frame

[ivory bobcat]

I can't help you if you're unwilling to debug. Good luck.

[strong wren]

i want to but i dont really know how

well in this case

[ivory bobcat]

Add a debug log and see if it prints anything

[clear river]

Hello again.

[fossil tree]

another question why i cant drag and drop my balloons gameobject in my transform public variable on my prefab (the target variable)

[strong wren]

if i add a debug log in the Update Function thatl just call it every frame?

i can try to make it so if the value of Health Goes down then i get a log but again no value is really going down so that wont really do much

[honest haven]

hi i have this battle starter and i want to pass the game objects to another scene, is the only way to do it use DDOL? i just want to pass them to my battle manager, but i only want to use my battle manager on the battle scene

[ivory bobcat]

Prefabs exists throughout the project (every scene) but objects in a scene may not exist in all given scenes thus it makes little sense to be able to reference objects from scenes that might not be active. tldr you can only reference non scene objects on prefabs.

[swift crag]

You need two things:

• A place to store the data that will survive a scene load
• A way to find that data from the new scene

A static List<WhateverThoseThingsAre> would be sufficient, as long as you only need to pass one list of levels at a time.

[honest haven]

thanks could you give me an example? playerprefs?

[fossil tree]

so how can i do ?

[swift crag]

playerprefs would be inappropriate: you can't shove an entire unity object in there and then read it back
