you mean screen record?

[languid spire]

no, show the current code and the console

[frank zodiac]

ok

the cube on the left is the enemy

the player is the capsule

[languid spire]

totally irrelevant, do what I asked

[frank zodiac]

the current code is the same as the hastebin i posted above

[languid spire]

then you did not add the debugs as asked did you

[frank zodiac]

i really did

oh wait i just realized..

i put the debug in the if statement by accident lol

[languid spire]

if you really did the code could not be the same as before could it

[frank zodiac]

ok now it outputs enemy

[frank zodiac]

i just fixed it

[frank zodiac]

wait i think i found the issue, its the transform.position in the raycast

[languid spire]

which is meaningless information as you have not even said which object this script is attached to. Please try and think about your questions and supply ALL relevant information

[frank zodiac]

its attached to the enemy gameobject obviously

i thoght that was self explanatory

[languid spire]

not obviously, I dont know your setup

[frank zodiac]

i sent a screenshot, i thought that cleared the context up

[languid spire]

not in the slightest, it does not even show an inspector

[thin grotto]

@frank zodiac would wait till someone else comes on. I've only been on this chat for about 10 mins and get the impression some of the people on here have an ego problem .

[frank zodiac]

okay then next time ill try to clear things up 👍

[frank zodiac]

lol i dont mind i just need urgent help

ok i fixed it thanks for your help chat

[velvet turret]

Steve, can you help me now?

[languid spire]

No, I dont do Unity Ad's

[velvet turret]

Oh.

[grizzled zealot]

Is there an open-source asset to manage color palettes?

[frosty hound]

If you mean in editor, you can save colour palettes already in Unity

[short hazel]

You can use scriptable objects for that, if you need multiple and switch between them

[frosty hound]

Otherwise, SOs are the best way to go ^

[grizzled zealot]

Yes, I mean for managing colours for different elements.

Ok. I'll look into that. Basically the SO will have different public fields and I'll add a ColourMgmt component to associate an SO with a GUI element.

[molten dock]

anyone know why my navmesh agents would be walking circles around their target rather than stopping there

[faint sluice]

#🤖┃ai-navigation will help better

[short hazel]

[to now deleted question] Ask in #archived-shaders

[molten dock]

ty

[still wren]

what is wrong with the code

my door is clunky and i can still close it when it is opening

when its opening and i press E on it, it plays a sound then waits a bit and starts closing

[frosty hound]

Start by verifying the length of your OpenDelay value

[still wren]

it is 1

actually 1.2

those are placeholder sounds

this is from a scriptable object

[languid spire]

so what does 'E' do?

[still wren]

E is what i as the character press to interact with the door

[languid spire]

I know that but show the code for it

[languid spire]

Is Toggable being used elsewhere?

[still wren]

toggleable does not get used anywhere else

[languid spire]

then the problem can only lie with your OpenDelay

[still wren]

their both 1.2

[languid spire]

yes, and? If the animation takes longer than 1.2 game seconds you have a problem

[still wren]

it takes less

it takes 1

[languid spire]

then what you describe is, literally, impossible

[short hazel]

If I were you I'd rely on the animation instead of magic numbers to know whether an action has been finished. Animation events can be a solution

[languid spire]

maybe you should be using WaitForSecondsRealTime?

[still wren]

thats what i tried

it didnt work

[languid spire]

Then it's Debug.Log time because what you say cannot be true somewhere

[still wren]

i think its to do with the animator

[languid spire]

There is certainly nothing wrong with the logic of your code

except the wait is dodgy as @short hazel said

[still wren]

yeah using the animator is probably the better way to go but its fixed now

thankyou for helping

[grizzled zealot]

Is there a method to simply open many inspectors in individual windows at the same time? I want to select 3 GOs, right click, and open them in separate windows (not tabs).

[still wren]

it was the animatorcontroller which i didnt know how to use

[short hazel]

Right click the header of the Inspector tab and you should be able to pop it out in a new window and/or lock it (allows you to select other stuff without affecting the Inspector)

[grizzled zealot]

I know that. But I want to open 10 SOs and side them side by side. Instead of manually doing this ("right click" > "properties" > select next SO and repeat), I would do it once to open immediately 10 windows with the properties.

[short hazel]

Why? Multi-edit is a thing, you can select multiple elements and edit properties on all of them at the same time

At least that works on GameObjects

[grizzled zealot]

You only see where properties are the same. I want to see them side-by-side to see the progression, e.g., as damage increases from one enemy to the next.

[short hazel]

You can't do this automatically

[honest haven]

https://gdl.space/inoyamunat.cs hi im trying to get the top parent but it seems to be the wrong object

top parent should be npc ss but it returns player

[languid spire]

just use transform.root

[honest haven]

sorry please ignore sorted it

[faint agate]

quick question, so when I slide I want the camera fov to change. Not sure why my code isn't working if someone could take a look. I was able to save, but something is preventing the fov from changing

https://gdl.space/micuwowepu.cs

[languid spire]

still use transform.root

[honest haven]

will do thanks steve

[wintry quarry]

You're only changing the FOV once in StartSlide

You're not changing it each frame during the slide

[honest haven]

you saved me so much code thanks

[faint agate]

https://gdl.space/eregasanit.cs

is this what you mean, I moved it into the update

[wintry quarry]

No because that's still only happening during a single frame in GetKeyDown

[cunning narwhal]

Trying to build a 2d sidescroller with procedural generation and subterrainian caves etc. not gonna lie it's been a bit hellish and I can barely get off the ground with this. Does anyone have any recommendation to some solid learning resources on doing this? I went through probably 10 full video tutorials on this and in the end I do get various versions of just terrain, sometimes cave generation, but then it gets infinitely more complicated when I'd want to add something they dont show like ores, items, etc randomly on the walls

[faint agate]

thank you, I fixed it

[atomic bison]

in unity a singleton class gameobject can be in the hierarchy be children of another? or must be root in the scene?

[short hazel]

The singleton pattern in a pure C# thing, so the placement in Unity does not matter. Unless you plan on persisting the object through scene changes, in this case it has to be a root object otherwise DontDestroyOnLoad() throws an exception.

[misty coral]

is there anyway to disable navmesh control along the y axis?

like I want the y axis to be controlled by a different script

[frail ferry]

hey, im currently building a 2d platformer and got a "Bubblemeter" which is like a kind of mana that gets reduced when hitted by an enemy
https://gdl.space/dekojobini.cs

my problem is that when i collect a bubble it adds one bubble level and updates the ui element correctly now when i get damaged it reduces the bubble level correctly in other therm i have 0 bubble level then i got 1 and after being damaged i got 0 again

But if i collect another bubble wich calls the add function i somehow get 2 bubble level. i found out that the bubble level before adding is 1 but in the inspector it shows 0
thanks for helpers in advance :)

[storm pine]

Is there any way to obtain some text from a Input TextMeshPro without the ASCII 8203 character that appears at the end? I obtain the text doing inputText.text where inputText is a TextMeshProUGUI . Even a Trim() over this doen't remove it. I can do a Replace() after the Trim but I want to know if there is a better way or I'm doing something wrong

[short hazel]

Yes you take input from the TMP_InputField itself, not the underlying Text it uses for display

public TMP_InputField inputField; + inputField.text

[storm pine]

Ok, thx. Changed and working

[short hazel]

The code looks pretty robust, you'd need to add some debug logs to see how many times AddBubbleLevel() gets executed. It's not possible that it increments twice at the same time

[frail ferry]

1 time :(

[short hazel]

Make sure you have "Collapse" disabled in the console

And that there is only one instance of this BubbleMeter script in the scene

[frail ferry]

oh yeah i see

ty man you know how to prevent that it gets executed twice?

https://gdl.space/vuyosaliha.cs
thats the bubble that calls the add function

[short hazel]

Looks pretty packed with checks too. Do you have two of them on the same object by accident?

Although you do not call DeactivateObject() anywhere here, but it might be done from another script since it's public

[frail ferry]

mh il check that thanks for your time

[fathom berry]

is there a way to make a 3D character move in a 2D way?

[languid spire]

yes, dont use the z property in position

[fathom berry]

okieee

and how can i put 2D sprites in 3D

[rich adder]

use sprite renderer

[earnest laurel]

Heyo quick question I had, what do you call that feature in 3D games that will make an object slightly transparent so you can see the player model?

I've been trying to find some info on creating that effect for my game but i'm having some trouble. thanks for your time.

[molten dock]

you should post an ingame example of what you mean

[earnest laurel]

ooh good idea let me get some!

[earnest laurel]

I mean like how objects fade away like this when closer to the camera so the player can still navigate the world better, i was just wondering if there was a name for this feature in general.

[ember tangle]

Vector3 newDirection = new Vector3(0, 90, 0);

float angle = Vector3.Angle(oldDirection, newDirection);```

'angle' is always 0. Why?

[short hazel]

The two vectors point in the same direction

Straight up

[ember tangle]

not in the y axis?

[molten dock]

i hope someone is able to help

[short hazel]

All in the Y axis

They both point up, one is just twice as long as the other

As such they have zero degrees of difference between them

[molten dock]

the only way i can think of seems super unoptimal

[languid spire]

shader code seems the obvious solution to this. Perhaps ask in #archived-shaders

[earnest laurel]

ah thank you i'll try asking there then

[polar acorn]

What are you expecting is the angle between them? Try drawing both of them on a graph and see what the difference is

[ember tangle]

I was thinking of them like the Vector3 of the transform.rotation.eulerangles

where y is a rotation axis

[polar acorn]

No, they're directions

[ember tangle]

when i think of them as points on a graph its obvious why my code didnt work

[short hazel]

Two direction vectors like (0, 1, 0) and (0.7, 0.7, 0) would be 45° apart

[ember tangle]

yeah I realize that Vector3.Angle() is not appropriate for what I was trying to do.

[cunning narwhal]

anyways I think I finally just decided after a year of thinking about it and failing at trying lol that I'm just gonna make the tilemap by hand instead of procedural generation. Kinda makes it a little more unique of an experience anyways. If I keep going this way I'm never gonna get anything done with this game so figured it's not the worst thing in the world to do

[torn grotto]

I'm doing some coroutine stuff to add a death screen right now, and I can't figure out why it isn't working.
I have this coroutine that is being called when the player should die, looks like this right now.

public IEnumerator Die() {
    Debug.Log("Starting coroutine, awaiting finish");
    yield return StartCoroutine(GraphicUtils.FadeToAlpha(fade, 3, 0.9f));
    Debug.Log("Coroutine complete, calling all other coroutines.");
}```


This should, in theory, fade in a simple black screen, then fade in like buttons and stuff.
I know for a fact GraphicUtils.FadeToAlpha() is completing because I have some debug lines for it:
```cs
public static IEnumerator FadeToAlpha(Graphic i, float t, float a) {
    Debug.Log("FadeToAlpha called, t = " + t + " a = " + a);
    ...
    Debug.Log("Completed!");
}```


But the console never logs "Coroutine completed". Am I doing something stupid?

[languid spire]

2 obvious ones

1. GameObject/Script is disabled/destroyed
2. timeScale is being set to zero

[torn grotto]

My timescale is never changed, and I have confirmed the gameobject/script is still alive with a debug line in Update

Plus, stuff still continues moving in the background

[languid spire]

I'm guessing no errors in console

[torn grotto]

No errors.

Everything should theoretically be working perfectly

Idk what i'm doing wrong

Does stuff break if the original caller of the coroutine is destroyed? Because that does actually happen

One moment please

[languid spire]

yes it does, see point 1

[torn grotto]

I see

didn't realise that

If that's the case, why does the fade coroutine not break then?

[languid spire]

because it is static

[torn grotto]

yep that makes sense

thanks for the help!

Yep, fixed it.

sorry to ping i was looking through chats but FOR REAL

what is it with the unity community that makes every comment either sarcastic snide or just rude 💀

[restive ember]

you seem to have a function that adds score already, so all you need to do is call that function whenever u run your script that spawns or deletes obstacles

since you already have it set up as a singleton its quite easy

lets say for example you have a script that deletes the obstacle

public Class HandleObstacles : MonoBehaviour
{
  public void Start()
  {
    // Code
  {

  public void Update()
  {
    // Code
  {

  public void DeleteObstacle() 
  {
    Score.instance.AddScore(5);
    Destroy(gameobject);
  }

}

you would call upon the function through the singleton like shown above

hope this helps

if you are asking about how to destroy the obstacles I would need more context as to what you are trying to do

[languid spire]

wtf is that link? Why change paste sites?

[knotty ferry]

fixed

[languid spire]

I see nowhere there where you even try to add a score

Suffix gave you the exact line of code you need to use

[restive ember]

yes I already gave you the answer but I wont write the code for you !

[golden blade]

I need some help

I dont understand what this error is

[slender nymph]

did you follow the instructions it said

[meager sentinel]

You need to enter the code and name it as what the code you want to assign is named

if you get what i mean

i think i explained myself wrong

[golden blade]

I dont

one second

[slender nymph]

show your console and the contents of the clickred script file

[golden blade]

is it the name clickred

[meager sentinel]

caps

[slender nymph]

clickred is not the same as ClickRed

[golden blade]

ah understood

ty for ur time

[slender nymph]

although if you are using 2022.2+ that isn't actually the issue

[golden blade]

im using an old version

pretty sure

[meager sentinel]

When i used unity to make my first proyect i had this issue and it was so hard lol

[golden blade]

Ill be honest I just dont understand some of these errors when I fix one another appears

lmao

ok no im still getting the error

[slender nymph]

show your console

[golden blade]

FIXED

FIXED

👍

[meager sentinel]

very cool 👍

you fixed a problem that i had for 1 year and was the reason i left unity for 1 year in 10 minutes

[golden blade]

Im sure something will come along and send me off for my 1 year training arc

Is there a way to get clockwise / anticlockwise information from Quaternion.Angle()?

[thin grotto]

Like I said man think it's like an ego thing haha

There was one guy I just ended up blocking because their attitude towards some of the beginners on here asking questions was getting old real quick haha

Think for the community aspect might be more helpful using like Brackeys server, Gamedev.tv or like one of the other large game dev discords

[flint wind]

is there a way to add another string to the GetAxis? I wanna add "JoyX" as another option for controller

[polar acorn]

They're defined in the input manager:
https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/class-InputManager.html

[thin grotto]

float mouseX = Input.GetAxis("Mouse X");
float joyX = Input.GetAxis("JoyX");

// Combine the inputs. You can adjust this combination
float combinedX = mouseX != 0 ? mouseX : joyX;

Quaternion offsetX = Quaternion.AngleAxis(combinedX * turnSpeed, Vector3.up) * offsetX;

Then define joyx in the input manager

[meager sentinel]

Like literally if you dint saw like 50000 lines of the unity documentation they will not help you

[frosty hound]

Can you two bond over this hissyfit in DMs? If you're unhappy with how people volunteer their time here, then you're free to leave.

[thin grotto]

[frosty hound]

Yes yes, something about ego. Move on.

[thin grotto]

Maybe don't volunteer your time then if you're going to have a negative attitude to beginners asking questions is what I was pointing out...

[frosty hound]

You're free to volunteer your time and help how you like. 🙆

And I don't have a negative attitude towards beginners asking questions. But you having a little tantrum about it isn't productive in this channel. Unless you have a question or are actively helping people, please keep it to yourself.

[stuck palm]

im getting the print log fine, but the audio mixer isnt actually reflecting the changes. this error only happens on startup, when the volume changes from player input it works as normal.

private void ChangeVolume(float sliderValue)
    {
        print("Changed Volume to" + sliderValue);
        float volumeValue = Mathf.Pow(sliderValue, exponent);
        audioMixer.SetFloat(channelName, Mathf.Log10(volumeValue) * 20);
        PlayerPrefs.SetFloat(channelName, sliderValue);
        if (sliderValue == 0)
        {
            audioMixer.SetFloat(channelName, -80f);
        }
    }

[wide vault]

hi, i would like to lerp between score values but when i collect two coins (call function again) before lerp is finished it doesnt work properly. i would like to make it lerp between current score and final score but final changes before it finishes lerp and current score ``` IEnumerator CoinIncrement()
{
targetScore = 10 + previousScore;
Debug.Log("target score " + targetScore);
while (timerCount <= 1)
{
timerCount += Time.deltaTime * 0.5f;
amountCoins = (int)Mathf.Lerp(previousScore, targetScore, timerCount);
yield return null;
}
previousScore = amountCoins;
timerCount = 0;
yield return new WaitForSeconds(0.2f);

}```

[thin grotto]

This could be due to the order of operations when your game initialises.

[slender nymph]

I would personally use MoveTowards instead of Lerp so that it's moving at a specific speed instead of within a specific time. Then you can just do the MoveTowards in Update instead of using a coroutine and just add to the targetScore. then it will just always be moving to the target score instead of needing to start a new coroutine for each time you increase the score

oh and that WaitForSeconds at the end of the coroutine is pointless

[wide vault]

Can chat confirm this? I thought that's what coroutine is for. So, where would you use WaitForSeconds?

[thin grotto]

What's your start method like ?

[stuck palm]

i managed to fix it by running it in start instead of awake

idk why that fixes it?

im assuming order like you said

[frosty hound]

In your code, nowhere. You don't need to add a delay.

And yes, if you're going to be moving towards a dynamically changing value, you don't want to use a coroutine. Doing it in update will be a lot easier.

[wide vault]

Thanks

[thin grotto]

Could be the object dependencies it has too. At least it's working in start method

[wide vault]

Thanks

[polar acorn]

You would normally put it before something you want to happen after a delay. In the code shared, your code waits 0.2 seconds, then does nothing, then ends.

Doing nothing right now is pretty much the same as doing nothing in 0.2 seconds

[grave frost]

btw, code:

```cs
public class CodeThing
{
public float test;
}
```

public class CodeThing
{
  public float test;
}

[flint wind]

Works like a charm, thank you

[thin grotto]

No worries 🤠

[stuck palm]

whats the difference between activeself and activeinhierarchy?

[polar acorn]

Active self checks if this object is disabled, regardless of whether any parent objects are enabled or not.

Active in hierarchy checks if this object is active along with all of its parents

[thin grotto]

Extract the angle and axis from the quaternion. Then determine the direction of the rotation based on the angle and axis. Use Quaternion.ToAngleAxis to help with it

[ember tangle]

I ended up using Mathf.DeltaAngle() with the transform.rotation.eulerAngles and building around the -179 to 180 it returns, because Quaternions are scary and confusing 🤣

[thin grotto]

Haha fair enough, if it works then don't change it

[molten dock]

i did also think that ppl are too rude sometimes

[tidal kettle]

quick question, i made a script that will pause/unpause the game with the esc key and i was wondering if i need to add it to an empty gameobject for it to actually work (like be active)

[wicked cairn]

any script that is not on a gameobject will not function

[tidal kettle]

so an empty is the best idea for a pause menu?

[wicked cairn]

if you disable the gameobject it wont work either. youll need a empty one, or use the canvas object

[tidal kettle]

right

sounds good then

[molten dock]

i think for things like that, people will usually make an empty named gameManager to put those scripts in

[tidal kettle]

ohh thats smart

[wicked cairn]

you could also have a parent pause menu object with your pause settings and escape listener, under the parent is the actual panel

[tidal kettle]

thanks guys

I've been following this tutorial series trying to learn Unity and I'm trying to build upon it by adding UI icons that appear depending on the NPC via serialize field, I've been trying for a while but nothing I did really seemed to work all that well. I'm new to all this and if anyone can help it'd be greatly appreciated

[misty coral]

is there anyway to control the vertical position of a navemesh agent

[molten dock]

nah since they get stuck to the ground right

you could maybe disable the navmesh right when you wanna do your thing

or like

[misty coral]

well like i made a monster neck and I want it to follow the player , but using a nav mesh it just drags along the floor, and using a base offset it cant adjust its height at all

[molten dock]

increase the height of the navmesh?

[knotty agate]

Any Method to let Linear X max value become 3. I tried edit the key's value to 3 (like left's picture)but not working

[misty coral]

I want the navmesh to be able to go up and down

[molten dock]

sounds like you should do that with animations

[misty coral]

man

or

can I move the object

that is following the navmesh

without moving the navmesh?

[quasi escarp]

Good morning/evening all! The versioning of Unity is a smidge confusing going into the Unity 6 release this year and the current LTS dropping out of support.
I am starting a new project and have heard that the LTS is the go, which makes sense. But given that the LTS is about to go out of support would it be better to use a more recent version like 2023.2.x? Or would it be better to hold on that, use the current LTS and wait for Unity 6 LTS to release?

[wintry quarry]

LTS versions get support for 3 years

2022 LTS will be supported for at least 2 more years

Unless I missed some special announcement about it?

[quasi escarp]

Nah I think you're right, going back and reading again:
"We’re committed to supporting 2022 LTS releases with biweekly updates until mid-2024, after which updates will be monthly until mid-2025 (two years after the initial release date). These updates will only cover fixes aimed at improving the stability of the product to enable users to ship their projects."

I guess my coffee deprived brain read "until mid 2024" then totally switched off.

thanks for confirming though

[molten dock]

do you have a whole monster and then a navmesh agent on its neck

[misty coral]

I have the whole monster, with the navemesh on its head

so if the head goes up, the rest of the monster will too

but I figure out how to make the head move vertically

when using a navmesh

[molten dock]

howd u do that

[misty coral]

wym

[molten dock]

this i mean

[misty coral]

mb my brain is not working

[molten dock]

or is that seperate to the issue

oh alr

[misty coral]

but I NEED to figure out how to make the head move vertically

originally I had a basic look towards and movetowards script

and i could make it work

but idk what to do using the navmesh, since I can't just do movetowards anymore

it like overrides it or something

i dont rlly understand it

[eternal needle]

Your setup sounds weird, can you show a screenshot of it? It doesnt sound proper that you have an agent on the head only

[molten dock]

on some things, doing it in lateUpdate can ovveride

[misty coral]

so the head coming toward me

is dragging on the floor

[misty coral]

^^ there

[molten dock]

think i remember makin a navmesh agent fly away by overriding it wit the animation in lateUpdate

[misty coral]

i will look into it

[molten dock]

So maybe movetowards works too

[misty coral]

nvm

alr ill try

wait a minute

I have my navmesh code in a different file then the movetowards stuff will it still work?

[eternal needle]

How does the rest of the body follow along?

[misty coral]

A lot of moveTowards calls and LookAt and distance checks

[molten dock]

wait it was transform.lookat that i overrided it with lateupdate not an animation

still try it

[misty coral]

transform.lookAt works without an override... Ive tried that

but it doesn't rlly help my issue

[misty coral]

doesnt seem to work

[eternal needle]

If you want custom movement you can always assign to the base offset at runtime. You can always take the path from the agent and do your own custom movement too

[misty coral]

I have tried using base.Offset... since it technically moves the head vertically

it seem to break the neck code though

and the head starts moving freely

[misty coral]

^^is this what you mean?

If I use baseOffset I need to to be able to constantly change

I have tried this

the head actually falls through the floor with that codw

[eternal needle]

Well I'm not entirely sure what you're moving it towards, but ideally you would have it raycast and check where the ground is.

[misty coral]

moving the y val torwards the player

I was just using that to test

to see if I could even control the height

I will try raycast next ig

[eternal needle]

honestly your easiest solution is just gonna be making an animation which moves the visuals up and down, the visuals being a child object of some navmesh agent.

[misty coral]

I was hoping to make the neck be able to reach through like small holes and stuff to get to you, is there any other way to still achieve that goal?

thats why im wondering if there is anyway to control the navmesh height off the floor

yk and making the neck not drag across the floor

[eternal needle]

yes maybe through a nav mesh link or just making your own custom movement which may at times use the navmesh path when it wants. Though im not entirely sure what the end goal should look like. I wouldnt say this is the easiest thing to code and make right

[misty coral]

you mean coding it without or with very little usage of navMesh?

[eternal needle]

either way, because theres a bit of extra logic that you want ontop of just a navmesh agent moving. I think for the small holes, a link should be fine but you may need custom movement so that the body doesnt look weird going through walls. If this is even visible during the game

[misty coral]

any recommended tutorials for navMesh links, I started tinkering with navmesh... today....

so Im not very familiar with ANY of this

[eternal needle]

there are the docs, they are quite simple. it just connects 2 areas of the navmesh so an agent can go along the link.

also some tutorials you'll find online. ive never watched any on links so cant really suggest. Its just what i imagine will be the easiest solution for a small hole since setting up the navmesh surface to include the hole as a valid surface will be annoying.

how can i shake the camera and then it make look like its shaking the ui? im using screen space camera

[grave frost]

@polar acorn this could serve a purpose when chaining coroutines such as:

private IEnumerator Nothing() {
  Debug.Log("Nothing");
  yield return new WaitForSeconds(0.2f);
}

private IEnumerator Something() {
  Debug.Log("Something");
  yield return StartCoroutine(Nothing());
  Debug.Log("After Nothing");
}

private void Start() {
  StartCoroutine(Something());
}

Although it would probably be more clear to put the wait in the Something() method.

[sullen galleon]

Can someone tell me why is the touch input working in unitys game/simulator but not on an actual android device?

board.cs
https://gdl.space/qiyigixemu.cs

dot.cs
https://gdl.space/torovaqalu.cs

[eager spindle]

I'm ngl I've never seen Touchscreen.current.position

Usually I use the Input.GetTouch(i)

Might check it out later

@sullen galleon

[sullen galleon]

yeah its the new UnityEngine.Input thing

[eager spindle]

Oh input system 😨

#🖱️┃input-system

[sullen galleon]

[slender nymph]

i like how people are still calling it the new input system depsite it being nearly 5 years old

[sullen galleon]

i thought its like 2 lol

[slender nymph]

nope, released with 2019.1 in october 2019

[eager spindle]

And that's in stable too

If beta is counted it'll probably be earlier

The current interface is pretty confusing ngl

[sullen galleon]

well im just gonna copy paste this in input system cause ive been trying to get touch controls done for over 2 days now i think

[eager spindle]

Ive been following a lot of tutorials but haven't been able to set up actions for touch screens with Input System

[sullen galleon]

dreadful

[eager spindle]

Remember to have Input Manager enables too in that case

[grave frost]

well its only just default in unity 6 so ig for some people it is new

[eager spindle]

Huhh

[sullen galleon]

funnily enough it kinda worked when i put some type of mouse controls in a long time ago when i was starting

[eternal needle]

wait for them to release another, then we can have the newest input system

[grave frost]

in unity 6 the "new" input system is the default input system

[slender nymph]

is it even installed by default? i thought it was still an optional install even in 6

[grave frost]

its optional, but installed by default

Instead of enabling it, you have to disable it

to my knowledge

[eager spindle]

The days of Input.GetAxis("Horizontal") are over

[grave frost]

i mean im using unity 6 as we speak and it was enabled by default

[grave frost]

I'm sure we will eventuallly

[slender nymph]

are you sure that wasn't some package or asset you installed that did that? like the starter assets

[grave frost]

I mean I created a new project and I already had an input asset so yea

[slender nymph]

i'm going to test this right now, because to my knowledge it is still an option package that is not installed by default, like cinemachine

[grave frost]

also has a project-wide "default" input asset with some keybindings already set up

[sullen galleon]

ok i definitely dont have that in 2022.3.16f

[grave frost]

no it's new with unity 6 I believe

It looks like they're also finally starting to depreciate the Built-In Render Pipeline too

[slender nymph]

i doubt BiRP is ever going to be fully deprecated, but it isn't one of the default templates now, yeah

[grave frost]

Why would it ever not be fully depreciated?

[eager spindle]

I use it because every time I try to set up my own post processing in urp I fail miserably

In birp I can just Camera SetShader

[grave frost]

also @slender nymph just created a new project to double-check myself, yup it's default installed now. You can remove it, the package isn't locked.

[eager spindle]

What about the settings for which Input to use? Is it Input Manager, Input System or both?

[slender nymph]

just confirmed myself too, it is installed by default. and active input handling it defaulted to Both

[grave frost]

yup

[grave frost]

Even when you install it LTS now it gets set to both, you always had to explicitly deactivate the old one

[slender nymph]

also seems to be defaulting to dx12 for windows graphics now and .net standard for api compatibility

[grave frost]

dx12 for HDRP it must be, I'm in URP and it's dx11

I did try HDRP and it was dx12 I remember.

[slender nymph]

ah yeah, i guess i selected the hdrp template by accident. meant to select urp but oh well lol

[grave frost]

Time for me to ask an actual question. I think I'm going insane because somehow I'm getting numbers higher than I think they should be.

public class TerrainHeightPassPerlin : TerrainPass
{
    public override float MaxHeightDifference => _heightMultiplier;

    [Space, Header("Perlin Noise")]
    [SerializeField] private float _perlinMultiplier = 0.2f;
    [SerializeField] private float _heightMultiplier = 1f;
    [SerializeField] private float _heightSnapping = 0.25f;
    [SerializeField, Min(float.Epsilon)] private float _minStrength = 0.25;

    private Vector2 _offset;

    public override float Process(float n, Vector2 pos)
    {
        Debug.Log($"Recieved: {n}, {pos}");
        float r = Mathf.Max(n * Mathf.PerlinNoise((_offset.x + pos.x) * _perlinMultiplier, (_offset.y + pos.y) * _perlinMultiplier), _minStrength);
        Debug.Log($"r: {r}");
        return Snapping.Snap(r * _heightMultiplier, _heightSnapping);
    }

    public override void Reseed()
    {
        Unity.Mathematics.Random r = new((uint)UnityEngine.Random.Range(1, int.MaxValue));
        _offset = r.NextFloat2(new float2(-2000, -2000), new float2(2000, 2000));
    }
}

when n is 1, pos is some vector where both x and y is in the range [0, 40), Process() can return numbers like 3.2. I'm pretty sure PerlinNoise returns 0-1 (or numbers slightly out of that range), so it can't be that. Could the snapping function really be snapping a number really high like to 3.2?

oh I forgot to change the numbers to their proper values one second fixed

I can see here that it appears to be snapping 0.6308... to 3.2?

[slender nymph]

that is 15 seconds later and in some completely different code. are you sure your console is not set to collapse and you aren't doing anything to the values being used in those 15 seconds?

[grave frost]

this is the loop that highlighted debug.log is called in:

pos.y = 1;
for (int k = 0; k < terrainPasses.Length; k++)
{
    pos.y *= terrainPasses[k].Process(pos.y, new Vector2(pos.x, pos.z));
    Debug.Log($"k: {k}, pos.y: {pos.y}");
}

When k is 0, pos.y is 1.

shoot hold on

I mean I can visually see that the numbers are going out of the range I think they should be in, but let me check

it was set to collapse, I usually have that off, my bad. It seems to snap 0.8186... to 1.8 however, even when the height multiplier is set to 1.

[slender nymph]

show the log before that too

[grave frost]

ok im having a skill issue reading logs, sorry boxfriend.

[slender nymph]

you've got three logs that are important here. two are in Process and the third is in that loop. show all three of those

[grave frost]

here

is the snap function freaking out because I'm putting a decimal in?

[slender nymph]

have you confirmed that _heightMultiplier is the value you expect it to be?

[grave frost]

yea it's on a scriptable object, TerrainPass is just this:

using UnityEngine;

public abstract class TerrainPass : ScriptableObject
{
    public abstract float MaxHeightDifference { get; }
    public abstract float Process(float n, Vector2 pos);
    public abstract void Reseed();
}

[slender nymph]

change that second debug in the Process method to this: Debug.Log($"r: {r}, heightMultiplier: {_heightMultiplier}, snapped value: {Snapping.Snap(r * _heightMultiplier, _heightSnapping)}");

[grave frost]

I'm having trouble finding any that are screwed up right now

[slender nymph]

time to use the debugger then and set some conditional breakpoints that will break when a value is outside of the expected range

[grave frost]

ooh yes i forgor about conditional breakpoints

But I'm not even sure if snapping is the issue. Perhaps I was just being stupid. This is the visual problem I have, the scale is somehow 16 even though the height should at most be 1 * 5 (since I have two of these scriptable objects) I thought

[slender nymph]

it's not going to be the snapping that is the issue. it is going to be the input values and the math you do. so you'll need to figure out where the values are that you do not expect

but also with your previous log where r was 0.667 and the pos.y ended up being 3.4, if you are multiplying r by 5 it will by 3.33 snapped to the nearest 0.2 is 3.4 so the math and snapping was all correct with that set which indicates the issue is something on this line: Mathf.Max(n * Mathf.PerlinNoise((_offset.x + pos.x) * _perlinMultiplier, (_offset.y + pos.y) * _perlinMultiplier), _minStrength);

[grave frost]

hmm skill issue with logs on my part. I still am not understanding how I'm getting 16 as a final value though, I've been going through it for a while.

Actually, I can't find a 12.4 here (final should 12.4 + 1), even with some new debug logs:

                var c = _instantiatedWorld[i, j];
                Vector3 pos = new Vector3(c.position.x, 1, c.position.z);

                for (int k = 0; k < terrainPasses.Length; k++)
                {
                    pos.y *= terrainPasses[k].Process(pos.y, new Vector2(pos.x, pos.z));
                    Debug.Log($"k: {k}, pos.y: {pos.y}");
                }

                Debug.Log($"pos.y before snap: {pos.y}");
                pos.y = Snapping.Snap(pos.y, _globalPostProcessingSnapInterval);
                Debug.Log($"pos.y after snap: {pos.y}");

                c.transform.localScale = new Vector3(1, pos.y + 1, 1);
                c.GetComponent<Renderer>().material.SetColor("_BaseColor", new Color(pos.y / _maxHeightMultiplier, pos.y / _maxHeightMultiplier, pos.y / _maxHeightMultiplier));
```They *are* set to a parent, but it's scale is 1, 1, 1.

[slender nymph]

you're searching for 13.4 but you never log that value, you log it before adding 1

[grave frost]

yea the screenshot is of me searching for 13.4 but I quickly realized my mistake and searched for 12.4, I forgot to take another screenshot

hrmm.. how could it even be reaching such high numbers?

[slender nymph]

just use the debugger

[grave frost]

yea

[frigid sequoia]

Maybe I am absolutely dumb for asking this but If the blue position is the object position + vector3.forward * distance; how could I calculate the green positions?

It just seems like there is probably already a method for that

[cosmic dagger]

you would rotate the direction by x degrees . . .

[frigid sequoia]

How do I rotate the direction from vector3.forward? Sry, I am just like abolutely dense rn

I am pretty sure I did something similar before but I just can't recall for some reason

[atomic bison]

thanks so much 😄

Any idea why this isn't preventing me from spam clicking?

[slender nymph]

does anything else modify the value of that variable?

[topaz mortar]

nah, I have an async function in there that's causing it 😦

added an await, now it's working 🙂 weird

[fringe plover]

I Hate il2cpp.. it randomly gives me null obj reference when i start up game (Android)

in build ofc

there is no errors while building

[slender nymph]

you'll need to debug your build then. for android you'll probably want something like logcat to read the logs and see where the NRE is actually happening then you can investigate why

[teal viper]

Is this a coding question?

[grizzled fulcrum]

True, my bad

[sour cobalt]

Im having this issue with baking navmesh, which I believe it led the NPC clip through wall when playing
So when I try to bake my ground with no object involve, it baked fine, but when It have object, it can't be baked, I tried lower the ground without baking again and when NPC using navmesh, it chose the path with wall and somehow clip through it too.
In the video I try showing all the object is static, the NPC have rigid body too, so don't know why which happen, thanks for all the help
https://streamable.com/wngd82

[languid spire]

You need to add a NavMeshObstacle to your walls and mark it as carve

you may need to reduce the Agent radius as well

[sour cobalt]

thanks for the help

[golden blade]

Helo I want to make a slot machine but im not sure how to go about it, do I have to animate every possible outcome

and then randomize which animation plays

[languid spire]

easy option.
Make an array of all your sprites
Randomize those into separate arrays (one for each reel)
Step through those arrays and display the sprites one at a time

[golden blade]

understood thank you

[languid spire]

acually you can just make a prefab for a reel and then duplicate that for the number of reels you want

[golden blade]

im assuming that means I make one of the spinny things and then duplicate it

[languid spire]

yes a 'spinny thing' is a reel

[golden blade]

[violet glacier]

Hey, does anyone know how to tint/darken a ui gameobject and it's children? (I have a button with image and text, when clicked, I want all of them to darken)

[willow scroll]

By changing the alpha of the Graphic's Color, which uses rgba

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Color.html#:~:text=Alpha component (a) defines transparency

Note that

each color component is a floating point value with a range from 0 to 1

[violet glacier]

Hi, thanks for the reply, I need to change the color rather than the alpha. However, if I change the parent ui gameobject color, it only changes for parent ui.

[willow scroll]

I see. Alpha adjusts the color's transparency. If you want to make the color lighter or darker, you'll have to increase or decrease each of the RGB values by a specific percent respectively

RGB represents Red, Green and Blue, and is respesentet in a range of 0 - 255.
So (255, 255, 255) is the most white, and (0, 0, 0) is the most black color.

If you have a color (200, 100, 50) and want to make it 2 times darker, you decrease its every value by 50%, which gives you

(200, 100, 50) * .5 = (100, 50, 25)

The Unity's Color has the values with a range from 0 to 1, so this will give you the color

(200, 100, 50) =~ (.78, .39, .2) * .5 =~ (.39, .2, .1)

And changing the color of the parent doesn't usually change the color of its children

I wonder whether there is a built-in Component for this. Anyway, you can make it yourself, which shouldn't be too complicated

[knotty ferry]

hey i fixed the script now it works propertly but the text delete's it supposted to look like this but it shows only numbers

[languid spire]

public void AddScore(int points)
    {
        score += points; // Add points to the score
        scoreText.text = score.ToString();
        highScoreText.text = highScore.ToString();
    }

Why would you expect it not to?

[willow scroll]

You only set the text to your scores, so it will, obviously, just show them

[knotty ferry]

dam

[willow scroll]

You have to adjust the strings you set you show the desired result, which, in your case, includes "Score: "

[knotty ferry]

thanks

[topaz thistle]

Can I use compound colliders as a trigger?

Lol ok

[static cedar]

Is it 2D or 3D?

[static cedar]

For 2D, you can look for rotation matrix.

Vector2 Rotate(this Vector2 vec, float radians)
{
  float sin = Mathf.Sin(radians);
  float cos = Mathf.Cos(radians);

  return new(vec.x * cos - vec.y * sin, x * sin + y * cos);
}

For 3D, you'll have to use Quaternions.

Quaternion.LookRotation(your_vec, Vector3.Up /*This is fine.*/) * Quaternion.Euler(..., ..., ...) * Vector3.forward * your_vec.magnitude;

[topaz thistle]

Below is my on collision code, the Gameobject this is attached to is a compound collider, does anyone know why this isn't working? (Let me know any details I can provide that could help)
private void OnCollisionStay2D(Collision2D collision)
{
controller.isInOcean = collision.Equals(playerCollider);
Debug.Log("Happens");
}

[languid spire]

what do you expect this to do?

collision.Equals(playerCollider);

collision and collider are 2 different types so can never be equal

[topaz thistle]

So, that doesn't mean the collision of the colliders?

[languid spire]

no, of course not

[topaz thistle]

Okay, thank you. I do have to ask, my goal is for a compound collider to act as a trigger. Once it is triggered by my character, it changes the function of the character through a boolean (isInOcean). How do you suggest I do this?

[languid spire]

maybe, if youi looked at the documentation, you would see that Collision2D has a collider property

[topaz thistle]

So if I do collision.collider.Equals(playerCollider), it would grab the collider of the other gameObject?

[languid spire]

indeed

[topaz thistle]

Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to function correctly. I made that change and once the player enters the compound collider trigger, it does not set isInOcean to true. Do u have any other idea on what could be the issue?

[languid spire]

then you obviously need to Debug.Log the 2 objects so you know what you have hit

[slender nymph]

why are you checking if the colliding object is the player using Equals? compare the tag or check for a specific component type. your ocean thing shouldn't need a reference to the player nor the other way around

[topaz thistle]

I mean, does it matter that much?

[long tiger]

I have a question regarding box colliders. I want to attach this box collider trigger to the actual model but im not sure how to do so, any tips? I wanna have it attached to the player's arm

[faint sluice]

Its good practice, and once project becomes large enough it becomes spaghetti of references if you keep doing it like this

[slender nymph]

that depends, is your implementation currently working? if no, then what i suggested will work. if yes, then what i suggested will be better 🤷‍♂️

[topaz thistle]

Lol ok

[faint sluice]

I think you add collider in armature no?

[topaz thistle]

Yeah, it didn't actually fix the problem, but I get your point

[stuck palm]

maybe parent it to the bone?

how do i fix the options button in the home screen staying yellow?

[long tiger]

yep just figured it out haha thanks!

[frank zodiac]

https://hatebin.com/msewwjskqb how can i implement a dashing ability here? line 85 gives me an error and i dont know how to get around it

[slender nymph]

you can't assign a single float to a Vector2

[frank zodiac]

i know that but whats a workaround to it

[slender nymph]

why not look at all of the other lines you assign the velocity and take a guess from that context?

[frank zodiac]

oh wait i just realized how dumb i sound rn

[slender nymph]

put a log outside of the if statement to make sure that OnTriggerEnter is actually being called

[frank zodiac]

i just need to make a new vector2

[slender nymph]

of if you are on 2023+ there's also the option of assigning just the X axis velocity

[frank zodiac]

i should upgrade to 2023 tbh idk why im using 2022

but thanks

[long tiger]

yooo a fellow ghazi lol

[hollow dawn]

I've been trying to fix this all day and I just don't know how. I am making an FPS game and as you can see in the video when the player is moving the camera also moves along with the animations. I don't want it to move when the player is moving.I want the camera to be still for an example modern ware 3 when moving the camera doesn't move. If nobody helps me istg I'm gonna go crazy thanks.

[long tiger]

never thought id see the day

[short hazel]

This file looks corrupted. It did not embed, and does not play when I download a copy locally

[hollow dawn]

I upload it to YouTube so it's more simple https://youtu.be/XTwMaP49Lvw?si=KqQq8twRIQvjefE9

[queen adder]

How do I make it so that the variable becomes false?

on Play, the variable "touchingSomething" is false because it's not touching anything, but once the circle falls and bounces it is always True, when it goes up in the air, it's still true. If I grab my circle in the Scene view and just hold it in the air so it's not touching anything, the variable "touchingSomething" is always true and never becomes false.

[short hazel]

The camera seems to be the child of something that's part of the animated model. It will move along as the animation plays. If you don't need that, parent it to something that is not animated.

Usually, the animated model is a child of an empty GameObject that's the "player root"

[hollow dawn]

I don't think the camera is a child of something but I'll double check and let you know

[short hazel]

If you're not touching anything, this foreach loop does not run, leaving the boolean unchanged

[wintry quarry]

Well you'd have to write code that sets it to false. It's unclear what the context of this snippet you shared is but it seems to rely on a Collision2D existing.

Presumably there's no collision when you're not touching anything

[frank zodiac]

are void OnEnable() and OnDisable() even necessary

[queen adder]

oh, so since it's not touching anything it stays true because that was the last setting for it

and I should set my variable to false, outside of the foreach loop

[short hazel]

Only if you want to handle the cases where the script/object gets enabled/disabled. You're free to not implement these if you don't need to

[queen adder]

ok I will move some code around ty

[frank zodiac]

ic ic

okay then

[short hazel]

Before the loop, you can check whether .contactCount is 0, and if it is, set the bool to false.
There's also a flaw in this code which is in the case there are 2+ contact points and the last one doesn't have a normal Y greater than 0.95, it will set the bool to false, even if there were contacts that satisfied the condition earlier in the loop.
You should break; out of the foreach loop as soon as you find a "valid" contact

[languid spire]

yes, if you use events and delegates you need those methods to subscribe and unsubscribe

[short hazel]

Perfect, all cases are covered here

[queen adder]

for some reason my variable is always true, it's only false at the start of play, then as soon it touches one thing, it becomes true always, even when it's free falling to oblivion

[short hazel]

Well OnCollisionStay won't get executed if you don't touch anything

[queen adder]

ohhhhhhhh

right lol, so where should I put the check?

[short hazel]

OnCollisionExit, set to false

[slender nymph]

honestly that method should return a bool instead so it could look more like this:

public bool TouchingSomething(Collision2D collision2D)
{
  foreach(var contact in collision2D.contacts)
    if(contact.normal.y > 0.95f)
      return true;

  return false;
}

[frank zodiac]

whats the difference between the tap and press?

[slender nymph]

what do the docs say?

[queen adder]

idk why i forgot about that

[frank zodiac]

youre right let me read them rq

[frank zodiac]

i cant find anything in the docs

[queen adder]

hi! im new in the progamation and i need a script to generate a objet in a random position five times. Can somebody help me? Thank you for the atention, greetings from Argentina

[wintry quarry]

Hello, this isn't a place to request and receive custom ordered scripts.

This is a place where you could ask a specific question about a script you are trying to write if you're experiencing an issue you don't know how to solve

[inland knoll]

ah, ok, sorry

where is the place to my question?

[inland knoll]

thakyou very much!!

[queen adder]

np

[inland knoll]

Sorry for the inconvenience, but the script does not work correctly, I need them to appear at the beginning and not when I press space, how do I do it?

[wintry quarry]

You should learn the basics of coding I'm Unity

Otherwise you'll be here asking for every little change

[inland knoll]

You're right, I don't bother them anymore.

[languid spire]

@queen adder And this is why we do not spoon feed

[queen adder]

I understand your eagerness, but learning the basics is something everyone has to do for themselves.

To answer your question, you have to put the code into private void Start( ) instead of Update ( ), and remove the " if ( Input........ ) " line.

Good luck on your journey to learning Coding Manuka.

[inland knoll]

thank you very much!!

[queen adder]

With the amount of help I receive, I wanted to also give some support back.

[queen adder]

np

[queen adder]

but I see your point, I'm learning 😅

[languid spire]

I understand but not like that. This is probably for a school assignment and you have completely subverted the learning process which is the whole point of them

[queen adder]

damn I didn't even think about that

I'll be more mindful

[frigid sequoia]

It is 3D, but is basically a 2D plane, I am only using the X, Z plane for most of the stuff, you can ignore the Y entirely, since you barely ever move or rotate on that direction. So basically on 3D I would have to use Quaternion.LookRotation and then multiply that for the angle and magnitude I want manually?

[swift crag]

use Quaternion.AngleAxis

it can produce a rotation given an angle and an axis to spin around

e.g. Quaternion.AngleAxis(45, Vector3.forward) is a 45 degree rotation around the forward vector

and in a 2D game, the forward vector usually points into the screne

do not ask me if it's clockwise or counter-clockwise! i forget!

[static cedar]

If you're working with 2D plane, then just go with the first method.

I even wrote a simple function that returns a rotated vector.

[languid spire]

lol, positive forward is counter clockwise

[swift crag]

I suppose it's just like a rotation on the unit circle

[real cradle]

do you know how to fix that

and why he is so smoll

[wintry quarry]

As for why smol

not a code question though

[real cradle]

what shoul i set?

[wintry quarry]

whatever you want, it's up to you

how big do you want him to be?

[real cradle]

in the artist chanel no one respont

[real cradle]

idk xddd

[wintry quarry]

then the question has no answer

[real cradle]

thx bro

[languid spire]

not really surprising. If you just post a screenshot and ask 'do you know how to fix that' How can you expect an answer?

Look at which object has the Animator, once you got it, all its children might be animated so you need to put the camera elsewhere.
Have you tried disabling the Animator to see if that's really the source of unwanted camera movement?

[hollow dawn]

when I disabled the animator the unwanted camera movement is not there anymore

[short hazel]

I'd use a setup like the following:

PlayerRoot (scripts: PlayerController)
  > Camera (PlayerLook)
  > Rig (Animator)
    > ...

So the camera is separate from the rig, but still attached to the same object as the rig

[frank zodiac]

https://hatebin.com/ikardedcqq any idea why the dash mechanic wont work? i have the mandatory components and parameters all assigned

[wintry quarry]

Because you're doing this in FixedUpdate:

rigidbody.velocity = new Vector2(horizontalInput * walkingSpeed, rigidbody.velocity.y);```

[frank zodiac]

well whats the issue

[wintry quarry]

don't you see this will overwrite the velocity to walking speed?

[frank zodiac]

ohhhh i see it now

should i just add them together then?

[wintry quarry]

not sure what you mean by that

[frank zodiac]

i mean add the velocity for the dash to the velocity for the movement

[wintry quarry]

how?

[frank zodiac]

you mean technically?

i dont know, ill figure it out

[wintry quarry]

I mean what code would you write

Seems like you want the dash speed to replace the walking speed during the dash, not anything additive

[hollow dawn]

should I make an empty object called player root? im abit confused on how to do this

[frank zodiac]

okay i just fixed it my bad

i was running the same line twice

lol 😭

[short hazel]

Yes, and move whatever you have to move the player there (rigidbody, scripts, etc.)

[hollow dawn]

how about the player body?

[short hazel]

The animated model?

[hollow dawn]

the model

[short hazel]

Right under it. I labeled it as "Rig" in my example

[hollow dawn]

the player look is inside the player movement script tho?

[short hazel]

Modify the script so it affects the child object where the camera is

[hollow dawn]

could I just separate the camera look script?

[short hazel]

If done correctly that should be just swapping everywhere you set the current transform.rotation to another object's transform.rotation

[hollow dawn]

@short hazel

[short hazel]

It's your project you do what you think is best

[frank zodiac]

inputActions.Player.Dash.triggered; what does this return

[wintry quarry]

it returns whether that action is triggered this frame

[frank zodiac]

so a boolean?

[wintry quarry]

doesn't your IDE tell you?

The docs certainly do

[frank zodiac]

idk how to check that.. im using vs 2022

[short hazel]

If you just put your mouse over triggered it tells you

[wintry quarry]

Just hover your mouse over it

[frank zodiac]

docs are a hassle, discord is much faster

[frank zodiac]

alright

[wintry quarry]

I literally just looked at the docs my dude https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.inputsystem@1.7/api/UnityEngine.InputSystem.InputAction.html#UnityEngine_InputSystem_InputAction_triggered

[frank zodiac]

oh it works thank you

[frank zodiac]

👍 😭

[short hazel]

Server rules ask you to research before asking here, that includes looking up the documentation

[frank zodiac]

my bad then

[frank zodiac]

thanks for the heads up

[hollow dawn]

@short hazel where should I put the camera root?

[short hazel]

Under the empty player root

Look at my example once more

[hollow dawn]

is this correct?

[short hazel]

Partially - the Rigidbody should be on the root object

[hollow dawn]

the rigidbody in the player should be in the player root?

[short hazel]

It will construct a composite collider from all the colliders in the children, so there won't be any difference

That is exactly what I said yes

[hollow dawn]

I just tested it out and I cant move nor can i look

in the camera what should I put in the player transform?

[short hazel]

Proceed with basic debugging steps. Are there any errors? Are the scripts being executed? Is input being received? etc.

You do not need to ping me with each reply btw, we are the only active conversation right now and I'm frequently switching tabs to see if there are new messages

[hollow dawn]

ok sorry but should I put anything in the player transform in the camera?

[short hazel]

Nothing else, it looks correct right now

[frank zodiac]

is there a function where i can move an object back and forth in a swift motion; like a spear weapon for example?

[deft grail]

lerp i guess, or an animation

[frank zodiac]

would mathf.pingpong work

[wintry quarry]

I'd use an animation curve

[deft grail]

idk maybe, you can try it and see if it works

[frank zodiac]

do you have a short yt tutorial for that? i havent touched animations in a while so my knowledge is a little foggy

[wintry quarry]

not an animation

just an animation curve

[frank zodiac]

im not familiar with that

[deft grail]

its just a value basically

[wintry quarry]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nc9x0LfvJhI

[frank zodiac]

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

this?

[frank zodiac]

thank you

[wintry quarry]

yes

[hollow dawn]

@short hazel I am using this code https://paste.ofcode.org/39TxA9jzPavnUPyX3ZmL5Fr for debugging and these errors keep popping up

[deft grail]

its simple, just read it

[short hazel]

Yep the error message is pretty clear on that one

[hollow dawn]

if I change it will it break the project?

[deft grail]

dont change the input system, just learn to use it through code

instead of the old one

[short hazel]

Aren't you using the New Input System already?

[hollow dawn]

what shall I change it to?

[short hazel]

Yes you are, in the first screenshot here, there's the Player Input component with an Action Map linked

[deft grail]

dont

[short hazel]

So why are you trying to use the legacy Input class again?

[hollow dawn]

what legacy input ?

[short hazel]

If you separated the movement and camera look into two different scripts, it's as easy as adding another "Player Input" component aside the camera look script, and moving the relevant code that was in the player movement into the camera look script

[frank zodiac]

what does this mean

[wintry quarry]

It means you're trying to use = with a function/method which is not right

[short hazel]

The Input class. Like you're using in your code example you linked. Input.GetAxis()

[wintry quarry]

you call methods with ()

[frank zodiac]

oh i see it now, thank you lol

sneaky typo

[hollow dawn]

what shall I do man I did what you said and the script and inputs are working so why can't I move?

[short hazel]

Post a screenshot of the Inspector with the root object selected, and another with the camera selected

[frank zodiac]

public void OnAttack(InputAction.CallbackContext context)
{
    Debug.Log("attack");
    weapon.transform.Translate(new Vector2(Mathf.PingPong(Time.time, 0.75f), transform.position.x));
}

so basically when im running my game and i press the left click (attack) it just gives me these errors when the object is clearly assigned to the component

the weapon object is a child of the player object

[short hazel]

You might have another instance of this script attached to another object by accident, and it's the one throwing. Serach in the Hierarchy's search bar for t: Player and go through all results

[frank zodiac]

okay

nope, its just the one object

[short hazel]

Might be there twice on that object

[hollow dawn]

is there anything wrong I did? @short hazel

[short hazel]

Please, be patient

[frank zodiac]

no it isnt

[short hazel]

Disable the script by unticking its check box (aside its name) in the Inspector and see if you still get the error

[frank zodiac]

ok

i still get it

[grave frost]

If its the only one in the scene at edit time and its a prefab, are you instantiating it? I noticed the weapon reference is a scene object which wont save in the prefab.

[short hazel]

Yeah might be normal if the events are still subscribed. Can you locate the line of code throwing the error, using the stack trace in the error message?

[frank zodiac]

okay

[short hazel]

We're going to add a special Debug.Log() that will highlight the object in the Hierarchy when you select it in the console

[frank zodiac]

wait wtf it randomly started to work again..

but now it runs 3 times instead of once

lol i just had to apply the changes to the player prefab

that was the reason for the error

[grave frost]

How did you apply the changes to the prefab

[frank zodiac]

overrides

[grave frost]

The reference shows a scene object

if you had to apply the changes it makes me think you’re instantiating it

[frank zodiac]

no its blue so its a prefab

[grave frost]

In this image weapon is not blue

[frank zodiac]

the weapon is a child of the player object

i applied the changes to the player

[short hazel]

As I said, there should be a "Player Input" component on the camera object as well, so the CameraController script can receive the events raised when input is received
Unless they are routed from the PlayerController on the root object

[grave frost]

Ah, so originally it was a scene object and now that you applied it its part of the prefab

[frank zodiac]

yes 👍

also for some reason when i click left mouse button it runs 3 times

i only want it to run once

[short hazel]

Did you subscribe three times to the input event?

[grave frost]

I noticed the new input system runs 3 times on mouse clicks, are you using that?

[hollow dawn]

it didn't do anything

[bronze mortar]

Hiii guys,
I recently made a game in Scratch and I want to turn it into a Unity game. I'm not very good at Unity coding, so I could really use some help with the transition. Any help would be awesome!

[grave frost]

You are using it, i just saw. Just check if the inout is starting. It should be something like context.started. If not don’t run the code.

[short hazel]

Well that's normal, you need to add an input actions asset into it, and then look at what it tells you:

Will SendMessage() to GameObject: ...
Check that your input methods are listed there, and implement them in your camera controller script

[grave frost]

https://www.codecademy.com/learn/learn-c-sharp

Where I first learnt C#.

[bronze mortar]

I know the basics of Unity and coding, but I'm having trouble figuring out where to start

[hollow dawn]

I already have input action assets tho

[grave frost]

I’d say do that lesson to make sure you know your basics. Then you start by making the basic systems of your scratch game in unity.

When you don’t know how to do something search Unity’s Manual or API docs, google it, watch tutorials, or ask here

[bronze mortar]

Oki, will do

[short hazel]

Great. Now make sure you implemented at least the OnLook() method in your Camera Controller to be able to receive input

[frank zodiac]

what do you mean inout?

[frank zodiac]

youtube tutorials are pretty nice but theyre not 100% reliable

[grave frost]

its a typo, i meant input

[grave frost]

Fine for beginners. Beginners need to just do not really worry about whats right or wrong yet.

[hollow dawn]

the onlook method in my script?

[short hazel]

Yes... that's how it works
The PlayerInput component sends messages (events) to other scripts when input is received

[frank zodiac]

im not sure what you mean by that message, my problem is that its running 3 times

[grave frost]

Read

[frank zodiac]

oh sorry i didnt see this

and yeah i am

[grave frost]

So do this in your method

[frank zodiac]

ic ic okay then

[hollow dawn]

is this correct? https://paste.ofcode.org/UKyMSzX4yw4PxUyXuHUBDv

[rocky canyon]

    public Vector3 FinalVector()
    {
        return finalVector;
    }``` can this be reduced to this..
```cs
    public Vector3 FinalVector() => finalVector;
``` i've used `=>` before with one liners.. but never used the `return` keyword.. 
my IDE removes it.. just checking

[grave frost]

Yes

[rocky canyon]

thanks

[grave frost]

just using a => means it returns the right side if there’s a return type that isnt void

[rocky canyon]

i should probably be using a getter setter

[frank zodiac]

it didnt work

[rocky canyon]

in this case.. but i havent used those very often either

[grave frost]

What’d you write? Could be barking up the wrong tree but just want to double check

[frank zodiac]

i used context.started

[short hazel]

Partly - the code in void Start() should not be there. Remove it
Same deal for in OnDestroy()

[frank zodiac]

wait

that was the wrong block of code

lol

[rocky canyon]

ya ive done things like

public void TurnLightsOff() => foreach(light in Lights){light.enabled = false};``` but never a return

[frank zodiac]

ok it worked

[grave frost]

Personally would only use => if it were a one-liner

[rocky canyon]

ya, i agree.

just taking this opportunity to learn more sytnax sugar 😄

[grave frost]

By the way you can just make this a property

[rocky canyon]

ya, thats what i mentioned earlier..

but it was a script that was already written.. and all the variables are private

[frank zodiac]

@grave frost it works now but i have another issue.. https://hatebin.com/gsdsqcygpg

[rocky canyon]

soo i just figured id make duplicates for the other scripts to use

[grave frost]

You can “redirect” the property by just removing the ()s. Is finalVector serialized?

[short hazel]

Or a switch expression, I mean look at this beauty:

string Sample(int x) => x switch
{
  1 => "a",
  2 => "b",
  _ => string.Empty
};

[rocky canyon]

ya they all are

they get initialized via scriptable object in awake

[grave frost]

I still would prefer a return switch statement inside of a regularly typed function since its multiple lines

[rocky canyon]

oohh thats a new one

[grave frost]

And its a private field I’m assuming?

[rocky canyon]

yea, they were public earlier.. but once i got it working i made them serialized private variables

[swift crag]

I like to use these!

[rocky canyon]

they're still in the inspector tho

[swift crag]

any time the function boils down to a single expression

[rocky canyon]

i'll probably lose the serializedfields once its finished

[grave frost]

Here’s a neat trick. You can apply attributes to the underlying field of auto-implemented properties:

[field: SerializeField]
public Vector3 FinalVector { get; private set; }

that would apply all attributes in the same []s to the underlying field

[slender nymph]

alternatively, just leave the currently serialized fields and throw in some get only properties for public access. public Vector3 FinalVector => finalVector;
you won't need to fix serialization (since the backing field would have a different name you'd need the FormerlySerializedAs attribute or reassign in the inspector) with this since you're keeping the exact same serialized data and nothing inside the class needs to change with regards to assigning the field. the only thing that changes is now outside objects can read that data

[rocky canyon]

Today I learned! 🙂

thanks guys! useful info, for sure

just trying to make this class not huge

[frank zodiac]

any help please

[rocky canyon]

its the biggest class i have.. (originally it was 800 lines long)
but that was like 8 months ago or so.. i've learned so much since then..

no more nested if chains, and abunch of other nasty stuff i was doing

[rocky canyon]

whats going on? whats the white rectangle?

[frank zodiac]

its my weapon, im trying to get it to ping pong to act like a spear but its not working

[rocky canyon]

it looks like its its position is constantly getting added to

[frank zodiac]

then.. how do i fix it

[rocky canyon]

let me look at ur script..

[frank zodiac]

alright

[frank zodiac]

the attackVelocity is a float set to 5

[grave frost]

TIL about that attribute. But we’re just discussing ways to do things since they want to learn syntax sugar, not saying they should do it that way per say :)

[rocky canyon]

you need to reset the position after each attack cycle

[frank zodiac]

i see, but that still doesnt help with why its moving randomly and diagonally

[rocky canyon]

  private void Start()
    {
        // Store the initial local position of the weapon
        initialPosition = weapon.localPosition;
    }```
```cs
weapon.localPosition = initialPosition;``` before you do ur Pingpong

[grave frost]

I have a script thats 950 lines even WITH a lot of this syntax sugar stuff to reduce lines and more readability. It was data baking for pathfinding I made since for this particular project navmesh didn’t suit us.

[rocky canyon]

weapon.localPosition

u should also use localPositions

esp if the thing is a child object of anything

[frank zodiac]

thanks!

[rocky canyon]

i went a bit crazy at first.. going from 800 lines to 200 lines was a stretch.. and then some of it was basically unreadable.. sooo i had to do a 2nd refactor.. to make sure it was clean BUT readible

balancing act for sure

[swift crag]

Hugeness is fine as long as it's easy to read and find information

i had some messy scripts where I kept forgetting where, exactly, different things were happening

it was very tiring to work on them

[grave frost]

Do you know about regions?

and XML comments?

[rocky canyon]

https://www.spawncampgames.com/paste/?serve=code_616 <-- Player Input
https://www.spawncampgames.com/paste/?serve=code_901 <-- Modifying Speed before Move() function

theres functions that are still a bit ugly imo..

but not sure how to make them better.. might just leave them alone

[grave frost]

well first off it looks like there’s several states that seem to be mutually exclusive based on how they set the variable that don’t use if/else ifs, nor return in the if

[rocky canyon]

like dis?

[grave frost]

yes

[rocky canyon]

not sure what XML comments are.. but im pretty sure that 2nd one is what u mean

Summary is the only one i know about

also learned about snippets a while ago. and was going crazy with those 😄

[grave frost]

XML comments have a lot more cool thongs you can do when you do things like <code></code> and <see/> (the see tag needs more i forgot exact syntax VS always helps me auto complete it)

[grave frost]

it is

[rocky canyon]

i just recently started using VSCode.. soo not sure how to do it with it just yet but i know its possible.. b/c i installed a Unity Snippets plugin

[frank zodiac]

wrong video

[rocky canyon]

no if ur goal is a boomerang thats not it

the pingpong should do what u need it to..

[swift crag]

type three forward slashes and it'll expand into an XML comment

[rocky canyon]

        IEnumerator Rebound()
        {
            standby = true;
            float elapsedTime = 0;
            Vector3 startingPos = transform.localPosition;

            while(elapsedTime < upDuration)
            {
                transform.localPosition = Vector3.Lerp(startingPos,targetUpPosition,(elapsedTime / upDuration));
                elapsedTime += Time.deltaTime;
                yield return null;
            }

            transform.localPosition = targetUpPosition;

            elapsedTime = 0;
            startingPos = transform.localPosition;

            while(elapsedTime < downDuration)
            {
                transform.localPosition = Vector3.Lerp(startingPos,targetDownPosition,(elapsedTime / downDuration));
                elapsedTime += Time.deltaTime;
                yield return null;
            }

            transform.localPosition = targetDownPosition;
            standby = false;
        }
``` i use this for my headbob when the player lands.. it acts like a pingpong..

[grave frost]

Ah I dont use VS Code, I like VS better (some people might think thats based).

When you hover over the method or class or whatever it should show the XML comment

[frank zodiac]

ok this is the right video

[rocky canyon]

i couldnt get pingpong to work correctly for it for some reason

[swift crag]

e.g.

[frank zodiac]

is this correct? should i js increase the velocity?

[frank zodiac]

thanks

[grave frost]

cref ahh. I was like ik its not href (although I think websites work too so you can use href with a link to unity docs for example)

[swift crag]

i'm just doing whatever VSCode suggested :p

[grave frost]

Why do so many people use VS Code? Never understood the draw.

[rocky canyon]

ya, it also works in VSCode..

i made sure after i swapped IDE's

[cunning narwhal]

Sorry to ask whats gonna sound dumb, but, if I create a Unity project and then want to put it into a git repo with a gitignore on the first upload so I dont put in extra junk (gonna also use git lfs), how would I do this?

[rocky canyon]

im just familiarizing myself.. i make youtube tutorials.. and I always use Studio.. and thers times when people ask about VSCode..

so i figured i'd learn it as well

[grave frost]

Github desktop will give you a girignore that you put in the project folder. Also:

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

[slender nymph]

create your project, throw the gitignore in there, then commit only the gitignore and other relevant git files. then you can start committing your other stuff

[rocky canyon]

with enough extensions.. its pretty similar to Studio

[frank zodiac]

{   if (context.started)
    {
        weapon.localPosition = weaponStartingPosition;
        weapon.Translate(new Vector2(Mathf.PingPong(Time.time, 0.75f), transform.position.y) * attackVelocity * Time.deltaTime);
    }

    
}

is there something wrong with this? its not working like its supposed to

[grave frost]

You can stage the gitignore and it would start working when you stage the rest of the files the ones ignored will disappear from changes

[rocky canyon]

.gitignore always should come first

[hollow dawn]

@short hazel thank you for the assistance but I have a small problem. I still can't move but I can look around to the point where I can see my own body how can i fix this. sorry that I keep bothering you XD

[rocky canyon]

you need to clamp ur rotation

before passing it into ur function

[hollow dawn]

ok

[cunning narwhal]

I'll give that a go and parse out anything extra I'll need for the gitignore. Thank both! I think I may have a chicken and egg question coming up on if the repo is made empty then I move the entire project into it or what soon

[slender nymph]

yeah, but it's just easier to tell newbies to commit it first. plus each commit should contain only files changes relevant to that commit. so the gitignore plus gitattribute and other git related files first. then stuff like project files

[short hazel]

You can put the rig root and its children on a specific layer that you'll exclude from rendering in your camera settings

[rocky canyon]

Clamp Camera
something similar to this:

[grave frost]

If you ever start making tutorials about advanced stuff lmk 🫡 i feel like there aren’t many good tutorial channels that cover advanced content (or even intermediate content)

[rocky canyon]

😅 roger that! im working my way up to that.. gotta learn myself first.. https://github.com/SpawnCampGames theres a roadmap on my github page.. of whats next..
all pretty basic stuff for now.. but if u have an idea's let me know.. feel free to DM me if u wanna send me some suggestions

[rocky canyon]

ur right... for a beginner git is more intimidating than it should be

best to test the waters first

[bronze mortar]

Does anyone know how to create an animation where a card starts off transparent and lowered, but when you hover over it, it moves up and becomes fully visible?

[cunning narwhal]

Just one more thing on git repo stuff. So I created a new git repository locally and gave it a name. So now would I move my entire Unity project folder into that folder OR would I move all items within the unity project into that folder? Just trying not to break references and such

So I'd either have
A: My-Project\My Project{everything}
B: My-Project\{everything}

[slender nymph]

since this is a code channel, i'll suggest a code solution: implement the IPointerEnterHandler interface on a component. when the pointer enters the object tween it's position and the alpha channel of its color to the values you'd like

[wintry quarry]

You should have created the git repo in the project folder in the first place

[grave frost]

My suggestion is to drill into people's heads

Vector3.Lerp(transform.position, target, Time.deltaTime);
``` is __***NOT***__ correct

and instead use SmoothDamp

[wintry quarry]

e.g. you go into My-Project (the folder that has the Assets folder) and run git init there @cunning narwhal

[slender nymph]

or just copy the .git folder and other git related files right into the project folder

then it's just a matter of opening the repo with your preferred GUI

[rocky canyon]

you can use a parent as a collider
and use the card as a child object..
just animate the child object.. one at the position off screen it needs to be and the alpha set to 0
the 2nd one with the card at full alpha and positioned correctly..
then use a simple transition and a switch or boolean to flip when u click the parent.. (collider)

[grave frost]

You could try #🏃┃animation, this could either be an animation or a timeline or code. I would prefer the code way of doing it though for something this simple.

[rocky canyon]

https://gamedevbeginner.com/the-right-way-to-lerp-in-unity-with-examples/
i keep this on speedial 🙂

been meaning to make a readme for it.. and i'll def bring it up in some of my next tutorials..

i try to use MoveTowards.. to avoid the confusion.. so i dont get called Brackeys

[bronze mortar]

Okay! I'll just use @slender nymph's method

[grave frost]

Well I think SmoothDamp is better if you want smoothing, but MoveTowards works too.

[rocky canyon]

yea #🏃┃animation would be ur best bet

[rocky canyon]

orr.. use DoTween like a sane person 😄

[bronze mortar]

I actually meant @grave frost since he mentioned that for something this simple, I could just use code

[rocky canyon]

ohh okay

ya, well if u wanna go that route.. go ahead and install and learn DoTween

[slender nymph]

my suggestion was also an all-code solution

[rocky canyon]

its a tweening library.. for all sorts of stuff

[bronze mortar]

PI_happycat

[grave frost]

I believe they're talking about your solution since I pretty much said to use code without giving any solutions

[rocky canyon]

should be a bot command.. Use Code.

eh I dont need it. I write them myself and I'm building my own library of stuff.

[rocky canyon]

ohh okay 👍 just a suggestion.. but if ur working on ur own library do it to it

[hollow dawn]

why can't I move?

[slender nymph]

DoTween or PrimeTween are some good tweening libraries and work very similarly. DoTween probably has plenty more tutorials available, although you could just do it yourself with a Lerp or MoveTowards, what you are attempting is incredibly simple to set up and doesn't necessarily require learning how to use a tweening library, but that knowledge would be handy down the line when you want to start doing more complex stuff or chaining different actions

[rocky canyon]

my library is bussin

[short hazel]

Good question!

[rocky canyon]

y u exclude LeanTween 😈

[slender nymph]

because i, much like many others, forgot that it exists

[rocky canyon]

ahh okay.. probably my least favorite.. b/c DoTween has always been solid for me

just curious if u had a disliking for it

[slender nymph]

i didn't before, but now that i've looked at its documentation website i immediately dislike it. good lord that's some poorly formatted documentation

[rocky canyon]

anyone know what this assembly is for?

[slender nymph]

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

[grave frost]

Assembly-CSharp is the default assembly name that includes your scripts that aren't in a different assembly

[rocky canyon]

well im aware of that one

[bronze mortar]

I was planning for the future, once more money is acquired, a different card will come, and the left one will be pushed a little to the left. Should I still do it all in code, or would animation be smarter?

[rocky canyon]

but one of my projects keep recreating it and i wasnt sure what the -firstpass is

[rocky canyon]

but ill research it 👍 thanks!

[grave frost]

I'm dumb @rocky canyon. Personally I think that's a horrible name for an assembly.

[rocky canyon]

i wanted to make sure it was unity's and not some third party asset creating it

[slender nymph]

i honestly don't know how difficult that would end up being with regular animations. doing it in code is still pretty trivial though. you really just need to determine how far along the Y axis the card would need to move for the hover effect, then no matter where it is in your "hand", even after being pushed to the side, the effect will still work exactly the same

[slender nymph]

if you have a Plugins folder its from that since that gets compiled before other stuff

[faint sluice]

They are free btw. Atleast DoTween does provide free version that I know of.

[grave frost]

the assembly is a predefined one according to the link boxfriend sent

[rocky canyon]

okay.. yea im seeing it now..
my emptier project only uses 1 (the C-Sharp) one

but my fuller project keeps recreating the first-pass one..

just wanted to make sure it belonged 😄

[grave frost]

what I would like to know is why I get bloom by setting a color's value past (1, 1, 1) even with my global volume turned off lol... I don't remember that happening in the past.

[cunning narwhal]

Did it this way and it works out :) For some reason when I di it through the gitdesktop application it likes to put the repo as a subfolder like "My Project\My-Project" instead of the intended "My Project" as-is with the .git folder within that.

I did come across an interesting thing on Git LFS and the "community recommended" gitattributes file from https://gist.github.com/nemotoo/b8a1c3a0f1225bb9231979f389fd4f3f in the comments where a user pointed out issues with line endings and binary files. Then someone wrote something up on that subject and posted it yesterday of all days which is nice https://www.chunfuchao.com/posts/unity-git-en/#gitattributes

[rocky canyon]

welp, i know what im doing this morning..

[rocky canyon]

Fork is a great Desktop client.. https://git-fork.com/ if ur looking to try different ones

been using it for 2 years now.. never looked back to github desktop

[cunning narwhal]

Oh nice, thanks yeah I'm always open to trying out something different

[grave frost]

this looks like a fork of source tree or something lmao. How's it compare?

[rocky canyon]

it'll detect changes u made automatically.. and then its just as easy as selecting the files it has detected.. staging them -> committing -> pushing
i had a friend show me how to use it the first time.. sooo i'll show u as well 🙂

[rocky canyon]

the tree is epic..

thats probably my favorite part about it

[grave frost]

yea that's pretty much why I use SourceTree. That and multiple stashes.

[rocky canyon]

https://fork.dev/blog/posts/collapsible-graph/overview.gif

[grave frost]

oooh

[rocky canyon]

good stuff

[grave frost]

can't do that on source tree

[rocky canyon]

i try not to mess with it too often.. as im still very beginner to git..

when stuff breaks i go insane

[grave frost]

One time at work my local branch was behind my local branch and it wanted me to pull the changes to my local branch in order to push my local, unpublished branch :D

good stuff

[rocky canyon]

heres my most complex tree

this is where i like to stay

didnt even use git until i started making tutorials.. and then i needed to work ahead of my last version

[grave frost]

Solo project sure. The screenshot I sent was of a team of 10 people. It was extra chaotic because some people would just keep reusing their old branch instead of creating new ones.

[rocky canyon]

lol (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻

i was a leader of a 5 man game-jam once..

[grave frost]

I've pretty much always used it. It's good to be able to revert un-undoable changes.

[rocky canyon]

took all of 12 hrs for the github to be broken to hell

we started passing around unitypackages

haven't worked in a team since 😅

[grave frost]

Well I have a suspicion that someone edited the gitignore or they placed a package in a place not covered by the gitignore

[rocky canyon]

got 500th place out of 3.2k tho

[eager spindle]

That's what's happening in my current project my team don't understand how to work with GitHub

[grave frost]

Oh in my latest semester of college the opposing team told me "We kept getting conflicts with meta files so we added them to the gitignore"
Me: "THATS HORRIBLE-"
Them: "Yes, we quickly found that out"

[eager spindle]

Recently someone had to pull 220 commits 😴

[rocky canyon]

that happened to us once.. someone replaced it and tried to push the full library folder

[grave frost]

From a big branch merge, right?

[rocky canyon]

i have a 17 terabyte extenral harddrive i saved all my stuff to..

but eventually you need to go back a few steps..

and that i couldnt do.. so in comes github 🙂

[eager spindle]

Yea we merged everything into main, solved any potential conflicts and merged back into everyones branches

[grave frost]

that sounds lovely

[rocky canyon]

sounds awful

[eager spindle]

I already told them they should be making new branches but they didn't listen

[grave frost]

RIGHT

EXACTLY

[rocky canyon]

isn't there a way to have to approve pushes?

[eager spindle]

Our project is cooked and final presentation is this week

[grave frost]

They re-publish their local branch, bringing it all the way up the history from like 3 weeks ago. Like Creat. New. Branches. people

[eager spindle]

Pull request

[rocky canyon]

so u can check for conflicts before it gets broken?

[rocky canyon]

ya thast it..

[grave frost]

hosting with github you have to pay. I ended up having to pay for LFS anyway

[rocky canyon]

i thought they give u lfs for free..

with a 100mb file cap

[eager spindle]

Tldr you disable pushing to main, ask your team to submit pull request, you approve pull request and it pulls

[grave frost]

good luck, I just had mine this last wednesday 🫡

[eager spindle]

🫡

[bronze mortar]

Yay, the animation works

[eager spindle]

And it also tells you any merge conflicts

[bronze mortar]

WhatsThis

[eager spindle]

Very helpful

[grave frost]

1 GB storage, 1 GB bandwith. We used 0.98 GB at first, and then 10 people downloaded it...

[fluid kiln]

Hi everyone! I'm working on a dialogue system for my Unity game and could use some advice. I need to manage dialogues with different triggers and conditions.

[grave frost]

Also to enforce checks, you need to pay for github premium or whatever they call it

[eager spindle]

How may we advise you?

[rocky canyon]

u can use a thirdparty asset to help u out

[grave frost]

what hosting did you use? Unless you hosted yourself D:

[fluid kiln]

any tips?

I don;t know how to manage the "triggers" part, and appearently you can do that with the unity even system which i hate using, but i also don't wanna do a personalized script for everything "dialogueable" with a bunch of ifs (it sounds raw and newbie(?))

[rocky canyon]

something something.. Fungus

[eager spindle]

I have an overall Quest system, and nested in the Quest system are Quests which communicate with Dialogue system

[eager spindle]

scriptable object to manage dialogue lines

ok one sec

[eager spindle]
