[rocky canyon]

oh wait nvm

clearly i can't see colored squiggly lines

ur formatting threw me for a loop

[hollow cosmos]

hi i need help adding like

a basic timer + score counter to a simple platformer

im a full noob at unity so bear that in mind

[rocky canyon]

what sort of timer score counter..
give more details..whats ur goal?

[hollow cosmos]

the timer should just count down from like 60s to 0 and start the end script

the counter should probably just be time + some collectable

when i mean the game can be basic i mean its extremely basic

[rocky canyon]

soo a timer that counts down continously.. and then a collectable that adds a bit of time to it?

[hollow cosmos]

yeah

pretty much

this is current progress

its just a small school project but deadline is pretty soon

[rocky canyon]

you'd need a private float to countdown from, in update you could subtract from it:
timeRemaining -= Time.deltaTime;
then all you'd need is a conditional to end the game

   if (timeRemaining <= 0)
   {
       EndGame(); // call your end game function
       timeRemaining = 0f; // set the timer to 0 in case it overshot it or something
   }

and ofc, a function to add ur time back to it..

public void AddTime(int seconds)
{
    timeRemaining += seconds;
}```
then you can call the function and pass in how many ever seconds u want the logic to use: `AddTime(3f);` or `AddTime(yourVariable);`

[hollow cosmos]

would this be a seperate script

also sorry for the bother i just cant miss the deadline

[rocky canyon]

probably.. you'd preferably want it to be a singleton or something so it could be accessed from anywhere.

[hollow cosmos]

whats singleton?

[rocky canyon]

but, it could be on the thing collecting the pickups

[hollow cosmos]

right i also need actual pickups

so i would need help with that too if possiable

if you could link me to a video i dont want to waste ur time

[rocky canyon]

and u could just use the collision to get the script from the player.. playerTransform.GetComponentInChildren<NameOfScript>();

for a pickup system?

like a trigger collision type dealio?

[short hazel]

I'd just have the script on the player so it detects the pickups, it's faster and only requires one (already existing?) script

[rocky canyon]

you could find a decent one on the internet just by search those 2 terms

[rocky canyon]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qD7fDop-Ptw&ab_channel=SingleSaplingGames

except where he uses tag == you should instead use CompareTag("TagOfObject");

if ur only doing 1 type of pickup you could jsut have the detector on the player that when it detects a trigger collider it destroys the collider and just adds points to itself.. that could be done in the same script actually

    {
        AddTime();
        Destroy(other.gameObject);
    }```

[hollow cosmos]

would this happen in void start or update?

or am i doing this completly wrong

[rich adder]

OnTriggerEnter is a special unity method

[hollow cosmos]

oh

how and where would i put that script then

[rich adder]

inside a script ideally

which one, thats up to you to figure out

if you're doing 2D you need the 2D version

[hollow cosmos]

yea the game is 2d

i sent a small clip of the gameplay above 1s

#💻┃code-beginner message

[hollow cosmos]

as it is the object has no scripts other than box collider 2d

renderer and transform too i guess

[rich adder]

I kinda just got here, can you give me a TLDR what ur trying to do ?

[hollow cosmos]

just add a collectable + timer + score

[rocky canyon]

it goes in the class, alongside update start etc, same syntax as those

[hollow cosmos]

bit more noob language

[rich adder]

you're gonna have to learn the lingo at some point 😛

[swift crag]

it's a method

[hollow cosmos]

not if i dont stay in this path 🔥

[swift crag]

a function that you declare inside of a class or struct

[rich adder]

class is basically a blueprint to what your object will do

functions etc are what it can do

[rocky canyon]

public class YourScript : Monob..
{

Update(){}

CustomFunctions(){}

OnTriggerEnter(){}

}```

[rich adder]

unity has built in methods in Monobehaviour
https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/MonoBehaviour.html

as you can see OnTriggerEnter is part of many others

well unity calls them Messages
cause they're similar to how event works basically hence the naming convention

[rocky canyon]

update runs every frame, thats where the timer would go..
but OnTrigger.. gets called by Unity just like Update.. and Start.. etc.. so the brackets line up inside the Class { } wrapper

[hollow cosmos]

i have no clue about what any of u are saying

the closest idea of what i get to do is like

[rocky canyon]

😅

[hollow cosmos]

copy my death script and put it in the same place?

[swift crag]

do you want to learn or are you just going to say "I know nothing" over and over

the latter is a great way to continue to know nothing

[hollow cosmos]

not awfully keen in learning right now since its a deadline

if it wasnt deadline restricted i would be down to learn

[swift crag]

then i'm not awfully keen in helping if you're just hoping I write the code for you

[rocky canyon]

they said it was a school proj, and its almost deadline.. you know, the normal MO

[swift crag]

the point of the project is to prove your understanding

[rich adder]

yeah we're not going to help do homework for you

[hollow cosmos]

wish it was just homework atp

[rich adder]

help you fix issues and understand them if you want to learn

[swift crag]

i would suggest consulting

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Collider.OnTriggerEnter.html

and

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

[rocky canyon]

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/MonoBehaviour.OnTriggerEnter2D.html

ahh i missed

[rich adder]

2D btw **

[hollow cosmos]

ok better question which is probably easier for u guys to answer

could i just basically edit this to a destory and remove the transform

[swift crag]

ah, good, then see spawncamp's link

[rocky canyon]

yae,

[rich adder]

You mean destroy instead of setting position?

pretty much

[hollow cosmos]

destroy the object*

the coin in this case

[rich adder]

yes

[rocky canyon]

other.gam.. = ("ACoin") // a tag <--
Destroy(other.gameObject); <-- the other (which is a coin)

[rich adder]

the answer is always defaulted to yes, you can

[rich adder]

wouldn't that destroy the collider ? 😛

[hollow cosmos]

inside this what does other count as

[prime cobalt]

Hey so both the list of player pawns and the multigrid controller are serialize fields so I know that the newPlayer and multigrid aren't null but for some reason the final line of this throws me a null reference exception, what could it not be seeing?

[hollow cosmos]

do i just call it the coin?

[rich adder]

then multiGridController is null

[hollow cosmos]

thanks thanks

[rocky canyon]

u can name it w/e as long as u reference it correctly

[prime cobalt]

It shows up here, how could it be null?

[rocky canyon]

the thing above it is null..

[rich adder]

maybe you have a copy of the script with it unassigned?

[rocky canyon]

is that supposed to be?

[rich adder]

can you show the complete error stack btw

[prime cobalt]

it's a part of something I haven't started implementing yet

[rich adder]

also freaky we got the same playmode color tint lol

[prime cobalt]

Purple is nice lol

[rich adder]

ohh so it is netcode

more than likely you are spawning a copy with it unassigned and the function is running

but yeah I'd check how many you got in playmode

also multiplayer questions do belong in #archived-networking or in the pinned NGO server

[hollow cosmos]

well dont think its a shock to you guys but its not working i guess

character is just moving straight through it

[rich adder]

guess what OnTriggerEnter is for 3D

[hollow cosmos]

oh

[prime cobalt]

I figured it wasn't a multiplayer issue

[rich adder]

Box2D physics engine vs Physx engine, aint gonna happen

[hollow cosmos]

whats the 2d varient?

[rich adder]

have you read anything sent to you for the past 15mins?

[hollow cosmos]

more like i understand none of it

[rich adder]

what? you had it correctly before

why did you change it

[hollow cosmos]

huh

[hollow cosmos]

oh i gotta copy that one

my bad

[rich adder]

not exact

since Trigger and Collisions are different, but 2D variant

[solid pendant]

quick question, whats that suggestion box that pops up when you start typing in code? It has stopped appearing for me so I have to guess or look up the correct code each time

[rich adder]

intellisense

ty friend!

[hollow cosmos]

right

[rich adder]

so you dont want trigger anymore ?

[hollow cosmos]

i thought that was what u were telling me to do

[rich adder]

no I was telling you that there is 2D versions of everything physics related

since unity uses two seperate engines for each

Box2D vs PhysX (3d)

if you're doing 2D stick to the 2D methods

look what spawncamp sent you #💻┃code-beginner message

[hollow cosmos]

alright ill check it

[solid pendant]

Yep I think i fixed it ❤️

[main anchor]

i managed to fix it (sort of), but i still sink a very small bit and have to press space multiple times when trying to jump

[untold patrol]

recently switched to a new pc on windows 11 and now when coding in c# doesnt show me syntax errors or auto fill stuff and most code just remains white even tho it used to be blue and stuff to represetned it was an actual thing, assuming theres a setting or update i need to get it to show that stuff but im not sure any help would be appriciated

same code before and after

[shadow briar]

Howdy all, so just trying to learn how to use Unity and how to use scripts with classes.
Big forewarning i am fairly new and i think i have made a beginner mistake in using multiple scripts but not too sure, trying to inherit classes and what not.

TLDR in this just trying to make a weapon system with some modularity.

So i made a Wep Data script that holds the weapon data, than a AmmoData script that holds data for ammo and finally a script to just see if in a Example script to just see if it works.
No errors in the data scripts but in the Example script it says the AmmoData is a type but not valid in this context.
This is all in the constructor, nothing being actively used yet.

Now i tried to put the ammo data in the WepData Script to maybe see it was just an reading error of some kind that didnt work. Tried some ammoType._BaseRifleAmmo and that comes with a seperate error.
So hitting the wall just a bit unsure how to approach it.

The pictures in order should be: Wep data, Ammo Data, Example.
Not sure if i used the PasteOfCode right: https://paste.ofcode.org/PDzvsS3vXe7YPuMySN3The

[wintry quarry]

No errors in the data scripts but in the Example script it says the AmmoData is a type but not valid in this context.
Please share the full error message including line number

Same for your other errors

[languid spire]

well, to start with, a Monobehaviour cannot have a constructor

[short hazel]

You cannot have constructors on classes that derive from MonoBehaviour!

[shadow briar]

My bad forgot to share:

'_ApRifleAmmo' is a type, which is not valid in the given contextCS0119
Thats the sole error so far.

[wintry quarry]

You left out the line number

full message

Compile errors have filenames, line numbers, and column numbers

[wintry quarry]

to show you exactly where the error is

[hollow cosmos]

started trying this

oh right

the coin isnt deleting tiself

thats the issue ^

[languid spire]

may be a good idea to check what coin.gameObject.name actually is because 100% it is not "Coin"

[hollow cosmos]

i have no clue on how to figure that out

what should i do to find out?

rather i just need that to be true and run the delete script

[wintry quarry]

Everything in your example here EXCEPT for "RandomWeaponExample" should NOT be a MonoBehaviour as far as I can tell.
MonoBehaviour is only for making components. Components are the things you attach to GameObjects.

[languid spire]

Debug.Log ?

[wintry quarry]

Also, still waiting for those full error messages

[hollow cosmos]

where and how do i find it

im a full noob sorry

[shadow briar]

Right okay, apologies.
So its just in the editor, using Visual Code.
I havent looked in unity since nothing so far is using it, as it says theres an error in editor.

Line 11 on the example
which on Pastebin (The link to that site) is: 90

With the error being

'_ApRifleAmmo' is a type, which is not valid in the given contextCS0119

giving a check in editor it does mention about namespaces but i would prefer to focus on the current error.
But right Monobehaviour can be removed from the example script

[languid spire]

you find it by searching the Unity documentation, google is a good starting point

[wintry quarry]

That constructor takes a parameter:
AmmoType ammoType

This means an actual instance of AmmoType or a class deriving from AmmoType.

What you tried to pass it was the name of a class which derives from AmmoType.
It's a bit like if I asked you to hand me your laptop, and instead of an actual Laptop, you gave me a bunch of schematics for how to build a laptop.

[hollow cosmos]

its calling "player"

[wintry quarry]

Really the short story here is that you are using inheritance incorrectly here

this is not what inheritance is for

What you actually want is just an AmmoType class and a bunch of instances of that class with different values for its fields

[languid spire]

what? what is calling player

[hollow cosmos]

this

[wintry quarry]

e.g.

AmmoType subsonicAmmo = new AmmoType("Subsonic", "Slower than sound ammo", 1, 5, 50);

WeaponStat = new WepData("new weapon", "I am a weapon", 0.2f, WepData.FireMode.SemiAuto, WepData.WeaponType.Pistol, subsonicAmmo);

@shadow briar

[languid spire]

nothing there calling player

[polar acorn]

What's logging that

[hollow cosmos]

unless im doing it wrong

[wintry quarry]

Also - again, none of these classes should be MonoBehaviour except the "Example" class.

[polar acorn]

Okay, so this object has collided with something named Player, not Coin, so it won't be destroying it

[hollow cosmos]

right i need it to be inversed

would the script go to the player instead of the object then?

[polar acorn]

What object is this script on

[hollow cosmos]

coin currently

[polar acorn]

So, Coin probably isn't colliding with Coin

[hollow cosmos]

i have very little understanding of what the code is actually doing

[polar acorn]

OnCollisionEnter2D is called whenever two solid objects collide. This object is one of them, and the other one comes from the Collision2D variable (that you can name whatever you want)

So, you can check what object collided with this object, by checking that Collision object

In this case, the script is on Coin, and it's populating the data about the thing that collided with it in your Collision2D coin variable

[hollow cosmos]

so how would i be able to achieve the inverse of this basically

[shadow briar]

Right okay, sorry for the hassle with such beginner stuff, so a big thanks for providing an example and just saying im using it incorrectly - my generalised idea was taking inspiration from Tarkov with how there are loads of sub types since been on a binge with it and all that

But personally im curious if i could create Subsonic in the AmmoData Script and just reference that.

[polar acorn]

Check if the thing that collides with this object is a player, and if so, delete its own gameobject

[hollow cosmos]

might need a bit more help on how the syntax etc actually works

[wintry quarry]

You could define it wherever you'd like

This is actually a great use case for ScriptableObjects

ScriptableObjects would let you create different AmmoTypes (and weapon types!) as actual assets in the editor that you can drag and drop, modify in the editor via the inspector, and reference from scripts etc.
It's not a great use case for polymorphism/inheritance though.

[polar acorn]

Well, you already know the syntax. you're currently using it

[hollow cosmos]

copy paste 🧌

[polar acorn]

Then consider looking at the pins and trying the intro to C# course to learn what it all means

[shadow briar]

Hm hm alright thanks for the answer

And alright i'll give scriptableObjects a looksee later.
many thanks for it and once more sorry for the inital hassle

[hasty sleet]

100% what digiholic said, you need to know the fundamentals of C# and software development before working on code. If you copy-paste, the code will reach a point where you cannot make any changes due to lack of understanding it

[hollow cosmos]

atm im just trying to make the game to finish a project

its not me trying to actually learn it right now

[hasty sleet]

That's a tough situation to be in. What's your timeline?

[teal viper]

What's the point of finishing a project if you're not learning anything from it?

[hollow cosmos]

less than 9h

[hollow cosmos]

currently

i dont mind learning it later but deadline takes priority now

[finite hornet]

I am learning C# will it be everything I need for a VR/ online game?

[deft grail]

i mean, you need to learn Unity itself, animation, audio, modeling, etc

[finite hornet]

In the coding side of things, I understand it will require that stuff as well

[hasty sleet]

I think you might be falling into a trap of "i'll just complete the project now and learn everything later" but the entire point of the project is to learn

If you don't know how to code, you're pretty much asking us to do your project for you

[deft grail]

yeah, well unless your question is do you need other languages? then no C# is all you need

[hollow cosmos]

if i dont sugar coat it pretty much yeah

[finite hornet]

Yea, does VR need a new language or is that not the case?

[hasty sleet]

Out of curiosity, what class is this for?

[deft grail]

nope

[hollow cosmos]

computer science

[finite hornet]

Awesome

[hasty sleet]

CS 101, GME 203?

[hollow cosmos]

its a uk course

just btec cs

180 credit

[teal viper]

Well, you won't find anyone willing to dig through that code for you for free. If you really intend on cheating your way through, maybe hire someone on Upwork or a similar platform

[acoustic arch]

unity basically c# only

[hollow cosmos]

well mind if u help with this specific part

this is litearlly all i need help with atm

if i can get this working i can do the rest 95%

[teal viper]

What kind of help?

[hollow cosmos]

ive been told to effectively invert the objects?

rn its tryna destroy the player

ofc i want it to destroy the coin instead

but i literally have 0 clue on how to even after trying to learn on links sent

[teal viper]

Well, you're checking if the object has a "Coin" name. So it shouldn't destroy your player(unless it is named "Coin".

[hollow cosmos]

the issue then is it does nothing

the coin just remains floating in place

[teal viper]

Well, where is that code then?

I'd assume that you're trying to destroy a coin when the player collides with it?

[hollow cosmos]

yep

exactly that

[hollow cosmos]

afaik this is the only code i have based for it

[teal viper]

I mean, what is that script attached to

[hollow cosmos]

the coin

huh

[teal viper]

Think logically then: can the coin collide with itself?

[hollow cosmos]

no i know that part

what im trying to do is if anything comes in contact with the coin

then delete the coin

[teal viper]

Okay, then how do you reference a gameObject that the script is attached to?

[hollow cosmos]

no clue

[teal viper]

Try researching a bit. Not gonna help you if you don't even want to put in minimal effort

[hollow cosmos]

i can try look for that then hold on

[hollow cosmos]

is this what im meant to be looking for

[teal viper]

No.
Check the MonoBehaviour API docs.

[teal viper]

Or rather Component API. Specifically the available properties:
https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Component.html

[hollow cosmos]

just started to follow a pretty good video instead

however new error bit specific to it

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GG0NYcOQd0k

video in question ^

the errors im getting

[cosmic dagger]

that's a warning, not an error . . .

[hollow cosmos]

wrong ss

[cosmic dagger]

find the script mentioned, go to line and look for a reference variable. if more than one, log and check each one to which is null . . .

[hollow cosmos]

afaik nothing is wrong?

[wintry quarry]

coinText is the only thing there that can be null

so the obviousl conclusion is, coinText is null

[nocturne oak]

why cant my script, score, access the public boolean lostGame, defined in my other script, playerCollision?

[cosmic dagger]

lostGame exist in a different script called playerCollision. you are not referencing that script . . .

your score has no idea you're trying to access lostGame from playerCollision. you're accessing it like a class variable from score . . .

[wintry quarry]

To access a variable belonging to another script you need a reference to a particular instance of that script.

Note that every instance of playerCollision is going to have its own copy of the lostGame variable

so you need to tell it which instance by referencing it

[nocturne oak]

oh ok

that is really strange

[wintry quarry]

It's not strange when you understand the concepts

https://unity.huh.how/references

[nocturne oak]

I assumed that a public variable was the exact same for every script

[wintry quarry]

You assumed incorrectly

[nocturne oak]

like how variables work in TI-BASIC

[cosmic dagger]

it's not, that's normal and makes a loty of sense . . .
https://unity.huh.how/references/serialized-references.html

[wintry quarry]

This is not TI-BASIC

this is C#

[nocturne oak]

I know, I am saying this way of doing this is strange, not that it is wrong

you misinterpret my statement

[wintry quarry]

You can make a variable that behaves that way in C# if you want, but it's usually not a good idea as a beginner

Basically BASIC is not an object-oriented language

[nocturne oak]

how do I make a reference?

[wintry quarry]

references to objects are a concept in object oriented programming

[cosmic dagger]

we both sent you links. read them . . .

[wintry quarry]

read the links we both shared

[nocturne oak]

will do

literally not a single word of this makes any sense

I will go look for something on youtube

[cosmic dagger]

study time!

[nocturne oak]

thanks anyways

[acoustic arch]

for my crop growing game should the crops grow while the player is offline or only online with short times?

how could i program in unity to calculate offline time, do i have to subtract off the date and time since last online?

[teal viper]

Well, that's a design question.
So you want that to happen? Do other systems simulate offline time? It would be weird if only one thing in the game was simulated offline.

[teal viper]

Pretty much, yes

[misty coral]

How to check if sphereCast is hitting anything but a specific object tag?

[wintry quarry]

With an if statement.

not really sure what "hitting anything but a specific object tag" actually means though

Physics Raycasts can only hit one thing and that is Colliders.

[misty coral]

well yeah

Well Spherecast returns a boolean, Im asking how to make the boolean only true when the thing it collides with is a collider with a certain tag

[wintry quarry]

you can't change what the raycast returns

bool hitSpecialThing = false;

if (Physics.SphereCast(... out RaycastHit hit) {
  if (hit.collider.CompareTag("CertainTag")) {
    hitSpecialThing = true;

    // Or just do whatever you need to do here and omit the bool variable
  }
}```

Just... you know.. check for it

[acoustic arch]

yeah it would be the only thing in the game simulated offline

[wintry quarry]

You'll want to also look into layermasks

[rustic dagger]

Does anyone know how to change a string from an input field into a float for a static variable?

[wintry quarry]

Static variable seems irrelevant,but you need to parse it

float.Parse or float.TryParse

Look them up in the C# docs

[rustic dagger]

I tried to fix it and looked through the docs but it says that Parse is not in context and can not convert float to string

[slender nymph]

show what you tried

[rustic dagger]

public static float timeAmount;
public InputField insertTime;

public void ChangeTime()
{
    timeAmount = Parse(insertTime.text);
}

all my code

but i fooled around with it

[slender nymph]

so you didn't look at the docs then

[hollow cosmos]

i have no clue whats causing this^

any ideas?

i can take any ss u might need but i dont get this shit

[slender nymph]

https://unity.huh.how/runtime-exceptions/nullreferenceexception

[hollow cosmos]

yeah i get that but

how do i link the script properly

[slender nymph]

wdym by "link the script properly"

[hollow cosmos]

for both of the scripts above its just simple counters and timer

[slender nymph]

you do realize i don't know what the contents of your code is so i cannot know what is null to tell you how to fix it, right?

[slender nymph]

and have you even figured out what variables are null using the steps in the link?

so you just didn't bother dragging the reference in there

[hollow cosmos]

huh

[slender nymph]

wdym "huh"? you did not bother assigning the variable

[hollow cosmos]

where do i assign it

i have litearlly no clue

[slender nymph]

literally look at your screenshot?

[hollow cosmos]

not following

[slender nymph]

hope that helps

[hollow cosmos]

does alot honestlyt

thanks

[slender nymph]

you sure it doesn't need some flashing lights or anything to help draw your attention to your screen?

[hollow cosmos]

did assign it

not working still

[slender nymph]

show the code

[hollow cosmos]

but one fiex

1s

[slender nymph]

does this object have a TMP_Text component on it

[hollow cosmos]

yeah

well

ui one

i can switch but it didnt change anything earlier

[slender nymph]

then you've got another of these components in the scene without one

look at your logs, you'll likely see that log from Awake printed more than once

[hollow cosmos]

only prints once

[slender nymph]

your console is set to Collapse

[hollow cosmos]

ah

[slender nymph]

make sure there isn't a (2) at the end of the line

[hollow cosmos]

explain this

[slender nymph]

screenshot your entire console window

with collapse mode on still

[hollow cosmos]

yeah i just saw the 2 ur on about

[slender nymph]

yes and that proves my point exactly. you have 2 of those components in the scene

one of which does not have a TMP_Text component attached and should be removed since you should only have one ever since it is a singleton that doesn't bother doing any checks to see if one already exists

[rustic dagger]

how do i fix this?

[slender nymph]

your string contained characters that were not able to be parsed as a float

[rustic dagger]

all i inputed was 4 in the input field

[slender nymph]

put this on the line before the float.Parse call: Debug.Log($"'{insertTime.text}' is {insertTime.text.Length} characters long and can be parsed into a float: {float.TryParse(insertTime.text, out var f)}"); then show what it prints

oh wait i just went back and saw insertTime was the input field, you'll need to access the .text property for it in that log

but i suspect this is u200b making its appearance again

[rustic dagger]

`Debug.Log($"'{insertTime.text.Length}' you want before the call for parse. then what do i do with this {float.TryParse(insertTime, out var f)}");

[slender nymph]

obviously at each point in that log where i used insertTime you just have to add .text to it

then show what it prints

[slender nymph]

well you clearly didn't follow my instructions. but i updated the message so you can just copy/paste it

you'll also need to use a different variable name since you apparently use terrible names and called something f already

[rustic dagger]

no errors

[slender nymph]

okay if there are no errors then run it and show what the log prints

[rustic dagger]

i entered 4 into the input field

[slender nymph]

i told you to put the log on the line before your existing float.Parse call

[rustic dagger]

thats what the code looks like

[slender nymph]

then save the code so it recompiles and try it again

also get your !IDE configured 👇

[rustic dagger]

same error here

[slender nymph]

the log will print before the error

and the log cannot throw that error

[rustic dagger]

sooo what should I do??

[slender nymph]

screenshot the entire console window

[rustic dagger]

im stupid

the log was clicked to show

now i see the log

[hollow cosmos]

@slender nymph highly apperciate the help thanks

finally time to get sleep

[slender nymph]

congrats, you have been cursed by the TMP_InputField hidden character! when you parse it (and ideally you should be using tryparse if a player can input anything into the input field), you need to trim the \u200b character from it

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.string.trim?view=net-8.0#system-string-trim(system-char)

[rustic dagger]

where should i put the code

public string Trim (char trimChar);

[slender nymph]

have you just never read any documentation before?

you don't copy/paste that line into your code, that is the method's signature. the method you need to call

[rustic dagger]

honestly

no

[rustic dagger]

i get that (i think) public string Trim (char \u200b); is that it?

[slender nymph]

not even close

[rustic dagger]

oh gosh

[slender nymph]

please go through the beginner c# courses pinned in this channel

[rustic dagger]

good idea

[grizzled fulcrum]

Having a small difficulty, multiple boxes are getting grabbed at once when I interact with "E" on the hitbox of the first one. How could I fix it to separate them?

using UnityEngine;

public class BoxPushPull : MonoBehaviour
{
    public float pushPullSpeed = 4f;
    public float playerNormalSpeed = 7.0f;
    public float playerGrabSpeed = 4.0f;

    private bool isPulling = false;
    private Rigidbody2D rb;
    private PlayerBase PlayerBase;

    void Start()
    {
        rb = GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>();
        PlayerBase = FindObjectOfType<PlayerBase>();
    }

    void Update()
    {
        if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.E))
        {
            if (!isPulling)
            {
                isPulling = true;
                rb.bodyType = RigidbodyType2D.Dynamic;
                PlayerBase.SetSpeed(4.0f);
            }
            else
            {
                isPulling = false;
                rb.bodyType = RigidbodyType2D.Static;
                PlayerBase.SetSpeed(7.0f);
            }
        }

        if (isPulling)
        {
            Vector2 movement = new Vector2(Input.GetAxis("Horizontal"), Input.GetAxis("Vertical"));
            rb.velocity = movement * pushPullSpeed;
        }
        else
        {
            rb.velocity = Vector2.zero;
        }
    }
}

[slender nymph]

instead of checking for input on every individual box, you should instead check for input on a component on the player, then you can use a physics query like a raycast, overlapcircle, etc to find nearby interactable objects and interact with those specifically

because right now, all you do on every single box is just listen for input and start reacting as soon as there is any input regardless of whether the player is even anywhere near them or not

[onyx tusk]

where 2 save data & sort it if folders in game directory can't be written, folders in Application.persistentDataPath r also can't be written?

[eternal needle]

what do you mean they cant be written? if you have a specific error you should share, or explain why.

[grizzled fulcrum]

So in general make a script for an Interactable section placed within the player, and use that to detect any nearby interactable items with a raycast perhaps?

[slender nymph]

yes

[grizzled fulcrum]

I'll try and figure out what to do in regards to that then

[north kiln]

Do you intend to have double backslashes in your path? Also if you use Path.Combine you don't need to specify any slashes and it is generally much safer due to that

[next bolt]

I'm currently trying to make two objects(guns) attached to my camera always visible but the models always clip through the floor. How do i make them always visible

[onyx tusk]

same issue & this /s work, because directory is creating

[next bolt]

nevermind i did it

[unkempt carbon]

hello coding gods im trying to make a script that checks to see if the other player is ready, is this a question to ask in the unity multiplayer networking server? or can I ask this here?

[summer stump]

There is a #archived-networking channel you can ask in. Asking networking stuff in the beginner channel is usually worrying
Gotta say what networking solution you are using though, and what you mean exactly by "ready" (just loaded, having completed some action, etc)

[unkempt carbon]

thank you thank you i'll ask it there

[atomic bison]

good morning guys. i have a question, if i want to add part of an scene as addressables is better to use Addressables.LoadSceneAsync or Addressables.InstantiateAsync?

[topaz mortar]

what happens to a reference to a destroyed gameobject? is it set to null?

[slender nymph]

no, the reference is still there. it will just throw a MissingReferenceException if you try to do unity things to it, and it will be equal to null when comparing with the == operator

[topaz mortar]

TownController.Instance.Scroll = null;```
the DeleteItem function calls Destroy(gameobject)
just wondering if I still need to set it to null after?

[slender nymph]

if you want it to be actually null and not just reference the now-destroyed object, then yes you should

[topaz mortar]

yeah it needs to be null, I'm checking it in other places

[slender nymph]

destroyed objects do still equate to null using the == operator

[topaz mortar]

ah

[slender nymph]

unity has overridden the == operator to check for destroyed objects so a destroyed object will return true when compared to the null literal with that operator. this is why it is always recommended to use that operator to null check a UnityEngine.Object variable rather than things like the null conditional operator, is operator, or null coalescence. none of those use the overridden == operator and unity cannot override the behavior of those other operators so using any of those other operators with something that may be destroyed but not immediately explicitly assigned to null will end up potentially throwing exceptions

[queen adder]

rectTransform.position or .localPosition?

ah just saw this

[languid spire]

not a code question #archived-lighting

[gilded elm]

oh srry

[dry spruce]

Facing problem with the word random plz help me

[deft grail]

you have Random from 2 different classes, so you need to pick only 1

[dry spruce]

how that can be done

[deft grail]

remove the using statement for the one you dont want, or use using Random = UnityEngine.Random;

[slender nymph]

read the Name resolution ambiguity section of this page: https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Random.html

[dry spruce]

still not spawning randomly

[languid spire]

why would you expect it to?

[stuck palm]

is there a way to immediately end a coroutine from an outside source

instead of stopping it

like if im using a coroutine to tween two values

is there any way to add some sort of interrupt that would instantly make it go to its end result

[cosmic dagger]

to end a coroutine, you have to stop it from running . . .

[cosmic dagger]

oh, you mean to complete its function (purpose). just create a method that stops the coroutine, and sets the end result of what ever it does . . .

[stuck palm]

i was thinking of setting a boolean or something within the coroutine that would exit the loop or something like that?

how can i add breakpoints to code in unity that would pause the editor?

[elder raptor]

How do I make sure that all the Input Field only accepts integers?

[wintry quarry]

Debug.Break()

[wintry quarry]

It has a setting for this in the inspector

Especially if you are using TMP

[elder raptor]

Ah got it, thank you

[deft grail]

you dont make it be random

[frail laurel]

how to make this timer would be slower and realistic seconds https://hastebin.com/share/avovucabit.csharp

[deft grail]

minus it by deltaTime

instead of 0.05

[willow scroll]

timer -= 0.05f; // decrement timer by 0.05 seconds each second

This is called in Update. The timer will be calculated correctly just if your Update runs exactly 20 times per second

Either decrease the timer by Time.deltatime, as was mentioned above, or manage this behavior with the Coroutine

It runs, but the line is just short

[deft grail]

so is secondPoint true just based of nothing at the beginning?

[delicate portal]

I got it.
Local space was on

[digital temple]

Guys for Unity I only need to know C# right

[delicate portal]

Yes

[deft grail]

thats what Unity uses yes

[digital temple]

Is it easy to switch between it and C++

[delicate portal]

Nope

[languid spire]

not quite, you need to know C#, .Net and the Unity API

[delicate portal]

I mean depends on ya

[deft grail]

most languages are easy to switch between

[digital temple]

How much time do I need to learn all three

And be able to use them correctly

I guess it depends too 😭

[delicate portal]

depends on you, id say 6 months to a year

[deft grail]

2 weeks to 1 month for a basic level

[languid spire]

C# is easy, it's only syntax. .Net is huge so you will never learn all of it, the Unity APi is big but with effort 6 months for an experienced programmer

[digital temple]

So as someone with zero experience can I be able to make my first game in 3 months

Just a simple mobile game

[deft grail]

you can make your first game in 2 days, depends what your making and how you make it

[languid spire]

other programming experience?

[digital temple]

Nope

[languid spire]

then 3 months is unrealisric

[deft grail]

depends what your making "simple mobile game" can be many things

[languid spire]

without programming experience you need to learn programming not just coding, that is no easy task

[digital temple]

Like the ones you see in ads where they are just stupid

Not my goal

[deft grail]

i mean for example a flappy bird you can make that in your 1st day after installing Unity

[digital temple]

What about a game like soul knight but without online servers

[deft grail]

that would take a while

a basic prototype you can make in probably 1-2 weeks depends how you use your skills

[digital temple]

Ok thanks and do you recommend any material to go and learn from

[deft grail]

depends what your goal is

if you are trying to literally just make the game

follow tutorials on each thing your implementing

otherwise theres some pinned in this channel or !learn

[eternal falcon]

:teacher: Unity Learn ↗

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

[digital temple]

I starting by watching a 12 hour course on C# to at least have the basics before going into making the game directly

[deft grail]

sure up to you, me personally i would watch a MAX 2 hour a video but if you feel like you can sit through 12 hours of C# then that would probably be helpful

[digital temple]

Yes totally taking rests between them not gonna finish it in a day 😭 but i expected 3 months would be enough to get me on track and ready to upload games

[languid spire]

try this first
https://techdevguide.withgoogle.com/paths/foundational/
choose Java as the language as it is very close to C#

[digital temple]

Ok then thanks for the recommendation

[frank zodiac]

hey guys what are the ways to make a parallax effect? for instance, hollow knight layered their backgrounds in 3D but some do it using programming. whats the best method?

[deft grail]

theres many videos on it on youtube

[cosmic quail]

doesnt hollow knight use an isometric camera? so layering it in 3d does nothing

[frank zodiac]

im not sure about that but i saw this on the unity website

https://unity.com/madewith/hollow-knight

[deft grail]

thats not 3d

thats just them looking around the scene in 3D view

to showcase each part of the background

[frank zodiac]

yeah thats what i meant

[cosmic quail]

they're further apart but this alone does nothing if youre using an isometric camera, so they are probably moving them through code and using their Z value for how much they should move

[frank zodiac]

probably

[deft grail]

you just set the Z of them and move them based of your player moving with the camera
each part different speed

[frank zodiac]

that seems simple

im not sure why they did it manually like that

[real rock]

Well outside of a “normal” camera there’s no other way to do parallax

[cosmic quail]

theres no other way, is there?

[real rock]

Either you let the physics of perspective do it or you move things at different speeds sooo

[cosmic quail]

and making your camera non-isometric screws up your entire view and the game no longer looks the same so you cant do that either

[real rock]

Yeah you’d have to design the game around that

[hallow totem]

Actually I checked and it also happens in preview it's just less noticable so these logs are relevant to the character swerving to the right while going backwards.

[magic jungle]

Hi, I'm a beginner in Unity.
I usually use Godot, but for a game, I need to use Unity.
So, I wanted to know how to load all the videos of a project (FMV) before the game starts. This project will be hosted on a website, and I'm not sure what the best way to play those videos is.

[buoyant knot]

idk about videos, but this doesn’t sound like something where you’d want to use unity

it sounds like youtube

[errant pilot]

Guys im spawning an object in the Worldspace and assigning its position to the mouse position but they are located differently, how can I fix it?

[real rock]

You’re gonna need to send a pic or vid of what’s happening

[polar acorn]

Add Component -> Box Collider

[slender nymph]

does the ball also have a non-trigger collider on it?

so that's a no

a rigidbody is not a collider, it just simulates physics

[polar acorn]

Looks like it's working exactly as it's supposed to

[hallow totem]

https://paste.myst.rs/idno2w1p
https://paste.myst.rs/n0v1hbn7
Any idea why my character swerves to the sides while going backward? I've linked the movement scripts and the debug above.

[slender nymph]

yes, that is as expected if the ball has no collision

[real rock]

And some code of how you spawn it?

[polar acorn]

Right, because colliders collide with colliders, which your ball does not. Since your ball has no collider, it's supposed to do that. Meaning it's working as intended

[slender nymph]

remember how i specifically asked if the ball had a collider, then you showed that it did not so i pointed out that it does not

[real rock]

2D game?

[errant pilot]

yep

[strong mica]

Guys I need you helppppp, I'm making a roguelike game that has multiple scenes and DontDestoryOnLoad function working between each scene. Any suggestion for restart function? I need to make the player go back to the first scene when dies and all the data needs to be reset (Everything back to the default setting).

[real rock]

Can you send a bit more of the code afterwards?

[errant pilot]

theres only this

[slender nymph]

destroy the DDOL object then when you load the scene it was originally in again a new instance will be created that you will then use

[waxen cypress]

So im making a VR game but when Im making my code it comes up with these errors talking about needing to convery to a new SFK style for it work in C# Dev kit. Any clue on how to fix?

[slender nymph]

[strong mica]

For example, im on scene(2) now, and PersistenceManager is the object I assigned the DDOL on, I want to go back to the start scene after I click the restart button and I did sth like this
public void Restart() { Destroy(GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag("PersistenceManager")); SceneManager.LoadScene(0); }
Am I doing right?

[slender nymph]

does it have that tag?

[strong mica]

yea its same as its name

[slender nymph]

and have you tried this?

[strong mica]

I tried and it looks like the saved object in DDOL did not get destroyed

[slender nymph]

so you see two of those objects in the DDOL scene?

[strong mica]

yes

[slender nymph]

are you sure that it has the PersistenceManager tag applied to it?

[real rock]

Honestly, singleton time? Might be easier than tag searching and maybe duplicating

[strong mica]

yes

[slender nymph]

show the full inspector for the object

holy hell you have so many DDOL objects. but it's clearly working, there's only a single PersistenceManager in there after the restart. now you need to do the same for all of the other DDOL objects that aren't getting destroyed on restart

[strong mica]

yea lol, im making a roguelike game tho

[strong mica]

yes but the things still there

[slender nymph]

that doesn't mean you need every object to be DDOL

[slender nymph]

what do you mean?

[swift crag]

roguelikes generally don't persist many things from run to run 😉

[strong mica]

its a student project mate hahaha

[slender nymph]

i don't really see how that is relevant

[strong mica]

the things already in DDOL did not get destroy

[slender nymph]

my dude, you only destroyed the PersistenceManager. now destroy the rest like i just told you

[strong wren]

yo

[strong mica]

oh i see

thx mate

[strong wren]

    {
        if (collision.gameObject.CompareTag("PlayerSlap"))
        {
            ChildHealth--;
            Debug.Log("Child Killed");
        }
    }``` is there a reason why my code isnt rlly working? im making an attack system bassically if i click the mesh renderer and the collider turns on, that works as needed this doesnt work and idk why

[polar acorn]

Do you get the log

[strong wren]

no thats the thing i dont

thats why i added it

this is the gameobject thing

[polar acorn]

Then this object never collides with anything tagged "PlayerSlap"

[strong wren]

as u can see the Tag is PlayerSlap

[strong wren]

yeah but i dont see why not? i have the gameobject with the tag as PlayerSLap

[slender nymph]

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

[polar acorn]

Okay, now show the object with this script on it

[real rock]

I may be wrong but I wanna say you don’t get a collision if the collider is turned on while already inside the other collider

[slender nymph]

seriously go through this

[strong wren]

I tagged it as EnemySlap Cause if they touch you then u lose HP thats works fine

[polar acorn]

Okay, so since this one has the rigidbody, is this object the one moving? How is it moving?

[strong wren]

yeah its moving

[polar acorn]

Is it moving via rigidbody

[slender nymph]

am i really the only one that saw it?

[real rock]

Oh yeah also collision vs trigger is what box is trying to subtly say

[strong wren]

no

[real rock]

Took me you pointing it out ngl, but I’d have done more debugging

[polar acorn]

Oh wait there's two obvious things wrong

[strong wren]

i have the rigidbody for physiscs

[real rock]

Nah they said the collider is turned on first

[polar acorn]

I saw that it was disabled but they said it enabled I didn't even check the rest of the collider

[strong wren]

no the collider turns on if i clcik

which works

i checked

[polar acorn]

I know, I saw that, I assumed that box missed it, but he actually saw the real problem

[real rock]

Yeah

[strong wren]

heres proof that if i click they turn on

[polar acorn]

Yeah that's not the only checkbox you should be concerned with on that collider

#💻┃code-beginner message

[strong wren]

oh is it cause i have the isTrigger Enabled?

[real rock]

Yee

You either need to change that or make it OnTriggerEnter

[strong wren]

kk

what does this mean?

[slender nymph]

it means you need to take a look at this again: https://unity.huh.how/physics-messages

[polar acorn]

Check the docs for how to make an on trigger enter function

[strong wren]

but the thing is the script that has the OnTrigger is the AI following me, and the Box Collider of the Child Isnt a trigger

wont that affect something?

[slender nymph]

you know this can be answered by reading the information in this guide, right?

[strong wren]

oh ok

eyy

it works now

[real rock]

Nice

[strong wren]

and the death thing works too

lets goo

quick question again
this is the code i have paired to the slap thing right

using System.Diagnostics;
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.UI;
public class Stats : MonoBehaviour
{
    public ChildFollow CF;
    public float Health = 5;
    public Slider HealthBar;
    public GameObject Slap;
    public void Update()
    {
        HealthBar.value = Health;

        if (Input.GetKeyUp("mouse 0"))
        {
            Slap.GetComponent<Collider>().enabled = true;
            Slap.GetComponent <MeshRenderer>().enabled = true;
        }
    }
}

yeah well how can i turn off the Collider and meshrender again? i was thinking of making a float variable and a bool to check if the ColliderIson and if it is the float to go down by Time.DeltaTime and once it reaches 0 to reset the float variable and set the Colliders and meshrenderer to false and also set the bool to false

is there like a better way to do it?

[real rock]

No real need to subtract deltatime, just track the time it started and then subtract that from either Time.time or Time.realtimeSinceStart(?)

[chrome echo]

why dose the destroy function destroy my script instead of the gameobject the script is attached to? the val here is ref through a interface

[slender nymph]

what you have there will destroy the gameobject, provided you actually save the code

[strong wren]

how can i impliment that into my code cause i only worked with DeltaTime so idk anything about Time.time

using System.Collections;

public class Example : MonoBehaviour
{
    public GameObject projectile;
    public float fireRate = 0.5f;
    private float nextFire = 0.0f;

    void Update()
    {
        if (Input.GetButton("Fire1") && Time.time > nextFire)
        {
            nextFire = Time.time + fireRate;
            Instantiate(projectile, transform.position, transform.rotation);
        }
    }
}``` this is what i found in the unity docs but this is only a delay beetween shots whilst i need my slap to be on for like 0.5 seconds then turned off again

[real rock]

(I’m on my phone so a (?) means I’m not 100% sure about the type/name, IDE and docs should catch it)
Assign Time.time to a double(?) when the slap starts, then on each update check whether the time between that assigned time and the current time is .5s and if so disable the slapper

[chrome echo]

Oh nvm.💀 it turns out my team member instantiated a GO that looked exactly like the bullet upon enemy death.

[waxen cypress]

Why doesnt unity want to recognise [serializedfield]?

[strong wren]

whats the diff beetwen time.time and time.Deltatime?

[slender nymph]

what do the docs say about each of those

[strong wren]

havent rlly read the docs about them someone just said if im working with time to use time.DeltaTime

[summer stump]

Read the docs then. That should ALWAYS be step 1

There are significant differences

[slender nymph]

your first thought when you don't know what something does should be "i should check the documentation" rather than "i should ask what these do in discord"

[strong wren]

oh

i just checked

wait then shouldnt i be using time.Deltatime instead of time.time?

[real rock]

Deltatime is the time it took since the last frame

[polar acorn]

You can make a timer using either of them

[real rock]

time is just the time since the first frame

[strong wren]

yeah but i dont need to count time from the first frame

[real rock]

Both would work, it’s just more conventional to make a timer by comparing the time to the runtime rather than adding up the Deltatime

[polar acorn]

If you store the current time since first frame, and then some amount of time later, count the time since first frame, what mathematical operation could you use to find the difference between those two times

[summer stump]

We don't know WHAT you need. You just said you are "work[ing] with time"

[strong wren]

ye im working on attacks, basically i need a gameobject to be turned on for 0.2 seconds then turned back off

[real rock]

Nah they said it a bit ago

[strong wren]

dayum ur like the first person to stand up for me lol

[real rock]

Meh just correcting a misunderstanding. Some people hop in and don’t realise it’s been a slightly long convo

Done it myself before

[summer stump]

Ah, it was blocked by another conversation

[real rock]

Yeah

[strong wren]

i did smth and it works

[summer stump]

That sounds like it would be best for deltatime or waitforseconds in a coroutine (cache the waitforseconds though)

[strong wren]

using System.Diagnostics;
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.UI;
public class Stats : MonoBehaviour
{
    public ChildFollow CF;
    public float Health = 5;
    public Slider HealthBar;
    public GameObject Slap;
    public float SlapTime = 0.5f;
    public bool isSlapOn = false;
    public void Update()
    {
        HealthBar.value = Health;
        if (Input.GetKeyUp("mouse 0"))
        {
            Slap.GetComponent<Collider>().enabled = true;
            Slap.GetComponent<MeshRenderer>().enabled = true;
            isSlapOn = true;
        }
        if (isSlapOn == true)
        {
            SlapTime -= Time.deltaTime;
        }
        if (SlapTime <= 0)
        {
            Slap.GetComponent<Collider>().enabled = false;
            Slap.GetComponent<MeshRenderer>().enabled = false;
            isSlapOn = false;
            SlapTime = 0.5f;
        }
    }
}

prob not the best way to do it but it works

[real rock]

God reading this on a phone is painful lol

[strong wren]

lol sorry

[real rock]

Yeah that’s one way of doing it

[strong wren]

i mean it works

[real rock]

Nah I’m lazy my pc is like a metre away

[strong wren]

lo

[real rock]

But yeah if it works that’s the main thing

I think there’s a way of doing it that’s considered “better” but I think it’s just because it’s become a standard rather than any other reason

[tranquil scarab]

https://gdl.space/alalabivoh.cpp i made this function for a script in my game that should handle the grip of a tyre on the x axis. it works on normal cornering but when it drives straight the forces overshoot and it begins to wobble really heavily. how can i solve this best?

[strong wren]

this was prob the first time where i didnt get bullied when i needed help

[polar acorn]

Sorry I was distracted. I could bully you now if you want

[real rock]

Sometimes programmers can be harsh but usually it comes from a point of wanting people to learn for and by themselves rather than constantly outsourcing

[summer stump]

I've seen you helped many times without being "bullied"
Have not seen any bullying, but of course I have not seen your EVERY interaction

[real rock]

I’m struggling to quickly see why, but have you tried adding more debug logs or using the debugger?

I guess you have the gizmos but I can’t see those

Actually wait no

I had this issue too

I would do the Vector3.Dot with tyre velocity.normalized

[tranquil scarab]

Yes and it weird I think it mby starts with the fact that floats aren’t 100% precise and it carries it into the tyres trying to correct it or something

[tranquil scarab]

I will give it a try

[golden blade]

Took me 2 days for this beauty

☝️

[summer stump]

Is this a code question?

[golden blade]

Nope

Just wanted to show

[summer stump]

#1180170818983051344 would be more appropriate then

[golden blade]

Ok ty

[tranquil scarab]

man i couldnt have gotten a better response

works now tnx

logical if you think about it but never crossed my mind

[median roost]

hello, new to the coding side of unity and wondered if anyone could help - I have a character moving and idling in 8 directions, however, i cant seem to make the character idle in the 3/4 positions, it defaults to either up/down/side. tried looking elsewhere for a solution and cant find anything. thanks in advance:)

current script if helpful

[real rock]

Had me pulling hair out when it caused me issue because the docs didn’t seem to properly reflect what it actually does

[tranquil scarab]

yeah the only way i knew about it was through a yt vid that talked about it. should be documented better tho

https://gdl.space/lusezuvoje.cs
Getting very confused. Its declared as a monobehavior class yet its saying it isn't. Can't see any syntax wrong on it? Was working moments ago, closed my computer and no its doing this?

[deft grail]

any errors in the console?

[worthy merlin]

Yeah

Very vague

[deft grail]

thats a warning not an error

[worthy merlin]

yeah but thats all I am getting

[deft grail]

delete the script from your game object and then add it back

[deft grail]

screenshot the entire console

[worthy merlin]

Filename, class name, all match

[deft grail]

the whole window

[austere hedge]

I have a class containing properties:

public class MovementModifier
{
    public float SpeedModifier { get; set; } = 1f;
    public float DurationModifier { get; set; } = 1f;
    public enum IgnoreModifier { None = 0, PopUp, WaitDuration, PopDown }
}

I want my method to accept the MovementModifier object as an optional parameter. So if a MovementModifier is not provided, it'll use the default values I've set into the properties.

I know how to make simple data types like int or string optional, but how do I make MovementModifier optional?

public void Foo(MovementModifier movementModifier ????????)
{
//Do something
}

[deft grail]

ok thought errors might be hidden but seems there is none

[worthy merlin]

yeah, very confused. Even tried restarting unity but its still doing this?

[deft grail]

try deleting the class name, going back to Unity, then adding it back and saving the script then add the script

[worthy merlin]

same error

[deft grail]

idk i think thats all the steps there is to fix it? unless there is something im missing

[worthy merlin]

Looks like removing PlayerInput library fixed it?

cause now its working. No idea why its doin that though

[short hazel]

The optional value must be a compile-time constant. The only thing you can use here is null, and afterwards check if it's null, and assign a new instance of that class with the default values you need.
eg.

void Foo(MovementModifier movementModifier = null)
{
    // Note: '??=' does not work reliably with anything deriving from 'UnityEngine.Object'
    movementModifier ??= new MovementModifier();
}

An alternative would be to make an overload that doesn't take the parameter, and call the other method that has the parameter with the value you want.

void Foo() { Foo(new MovementModifier()); }
void Foo(MovementModifier movementModifier) { /* ... */ }

[austere hedge]

Great explanation, makes sense. Thank you.

[willow breach]

I had some issues to debug my code on windows so i checked on my mac and was able to debug it but then i notices there are differences in the project even though it's the same repo.

1. on the mac the min for scale is X2 and on the windows is X1 does it matter?
2. the canvas size on the mac is smaller (320X568, and on windows it's 400X711) and it seem like only 4 buttons out of 5 are showing (in horizontal layout), does it mean i have a problem or is it just because there are some differences with the project settings and I shouldn't be developing on 2 OSs

[short hazel]

For the first point, I don't know what you're referring to with "scale" (it can mean multiple things).
For the second point, that means you haven't set up your UI anchoring correctly so it adapts to different screen sizes

[polar acorn]

It needed to force recompile. Chances are you changed a name of something and the codebase didn't get the message to recompile. Another thing that can force a recompile is to intentionally introduce a syntax error to a script and save it, then let it fail and go fix it

[willow breach]

i set the anchor on the panel, should i have done it on the canvas too?

[short hazel]

The Game View might just be too big for it to render at that 9:16 resolution, if you resize it down, can you scale the display down?

[short hazel]

Cannot set anchors on a root-level canvas. The current preset is set to scale with the screen width, anchored at the bottom. You should move your question to #📲┃ui-ux if you have more issues

[willow breach]

if i change it from aspect ratio to fix resolution it allow 1X i guess its really just mac screen dps issue haha

[plain dagger]

Is this the right area to ask about scriptable objects or is that more #archived-code-general

[willow breach]

and thanks a lot 🙏🏼

[short hazel]

Here is probably fine

[normal juniper]

problem solved

[plain dagger]

Thank you 🍪

Alright, so I'm developing an RPG and I want to have an On-Contact battle encounter system. I was wondering if I should store encounter information in the enemy, give that to a scriptable object, and then transfer that information to a "Battle" Scene, or if that's improper usage.

I know SOs don't store data permanently, but they should store for while the game is still open, right?

[short hazel]

You can do that with a class that doesn't derive from anything
It's usually best to keep ScriptableObjects immutable (when created they should not be modified)

[plain dagger]

So I take the info from the enemy's encounter data, transfer it into a non-derivative class, and then reference that info into the new scene?

[short hazel]

If you already have a script on an object that you persist through scenes with DontDestroyOnLoad(), then you can use that to transfer your data

[plain dagger]

I see, thank you for the help

[frail laurel]

Need help with this script i got 3 scenes like Level 1, Level 2 , Level 3 how do i make that in diffrent level diffrent time seconds would be like level 1 would be 30 in level 2 would be 20 in level 3 would be 10 https://hastebin.com/share/eqovohavan.csharp

[austere hedge]

I can't access my enum property. What am I doing wrong?

public class MovementModifier
{
    public float SpeedModifier { get; set; } = 1f;
    public float DurationModifier { get; set; } = 1f;
    public enum IgnoreModifier { None = 0, PopUp, WaitDuration, PopDown }
}

MovementModifier movementModifier = new();
movementModifier.?????

[polar acorn]

Because you've defined the enum but you don't actually have a variable of type IgnoreModifier

[short hazel]

An enum is a type on its own, like int or string. You need a public IgnoreModifier Mod { get; set; }

[polar acorn]

You've made the type but you aren't using it anywhere

[short hazel]

If you're going to use it outside the MovementModifier class, consider moving it outside to its own file.

[austere hedge]

public class MovementModifier
{
    public float SpeedModifier { get; set; } = 1f;
    public float DurationModifier { get; set; } = 1f;
    public enum IgnoreModifier { None = 0, PopUp, WaitDuration, PopDown }
    public IgnoreModifier MovementType { get; set; }
}

I think I have it now. I didn't know that it behaved as its own data type.

[wintry quarry]

an enum is a Type, like a class or a struct

yep, exactly, it's its own data type

[austere hedge]

Thanks guys.

[valid roost]

Basically, I want my player sprite to pass through enemies but I still want him to take damage from said enemy is there anyway that i can achieve this?

[willow scroll]

A trigger Collider sounds pretty much like what you need

[wintry quarry]

use trigger colliders

BTW that sounds like you would need either the enemy or the player to have two separate colliders:

• One for general interaction with the game world (ground, floors, etc)
• A separate trigger collider for the enemy/player damage interaction

[valid roost]

oh right

yeah

thank you both

[frail laurel]

how to fix this error i only have one LevelManager Assets\Scripts\LevelManager.cs(4,14): error CS0101: The namespace '<global namespace>' already contains a definition for 'LevelManager'

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

[willow scroll]

Remove a duplicate instance of the LevelManager script

[wintry quarry]

You can't use a class name twice

(unless you put them in different namespaces)

[frail laurel]

but i don't have

[wintry quarry]

you do

[willow scroll]

You clearly do

[rocky canyon]

Great thing about computers is they do exactly what they're told and they tell no lies.

[robust pecan]

Maybe I'm stupid, but shouldn't this code place an object at all the corners of a rectangle? (the red dots in the image)

position is the green dot on the image

for(int j = 0; j < 4; j++)
{
    GameObject obj = MonoBehaviour.Instantiate(gameObject);

    obj.transform.position = position + new Vector3((j % 2 == 0 ? halfSizeX : -halfSizeX), 0f, ((j - 1) % 2 == 0 ? halfSizeZ : -halfSizeZ));
}

The second image is what I get from this

[short hazel]

Nope, it'll place two at opposite corners. You should use two nested for loops, it's more readable

[icy junco]

i have quick question so i have an empty object with arms and gun under it but so there are two different animators how do i make them work at the same time i have made my gun and my arms a different animation but they work togheter

[gaunt ice]

when j%2=0 ,(j-1)%2=1 you must get halfSizeX, -halfSizeZ, when j%2=1, you must get -halfSizeX, halfSizeZ

[robust pecan]

alright, thanks for the explaination

I changed it from (j - 1) % 2 == 0 to j >= 2 and that works

float offsetX = j % 2 == 0 ? halfSizeX : -halfSizeX;
float offsetZ = j >= 2 ? halfSizeZ : -halfSizeZ;

obj.transform.position = position + new Vector3(offsetX, 0f, offsetZ);

[gaunt ice]

btw there are only two states generated when you do j%2 , but you want -1,-1 -1,1 1,-1 1,1 = four states, technically impossible to produce -1,-1 -1,1 1,-1 1,1 from only a single j%2 operation

[brave compass]

The pattern I usually see when converting a one dimensional index into two dimensions is:

int x = i % width;
int y = i / width;

[valid roost]

I still cant figure it out

I figured i could use OnTriggerEnter but

[wintry quarry]

Why would you make a separate serialized reference to the player?

What's the point of that

[willow scroll]

Compare the tags with the CompareTag method

[valid roost]

i see

[wintry quarry]

CompareTag should be used yes but that's just an optimization

it won't change the behavior

This code doesn't make sense as is.

[willow scroll]

That was a simple suggestion

[valid roost]

yeah i figured

[valid roost]

I have no idea then

[honest haven]

Hi what ami doing wrong here please https://gdl.space/jetigocewa.cs i cant seem to hit Debug.Log("loading the data");

[wintry quarry]

Hint - don't have a separate serialized reference. There's no need for it. OnTriggerEnter2D gives you a reference to the object you intersected with.

[wintry quarry]

Is any of the code running?
What's logging in the console?
Are there any errors in the console?

[honest haven]

Failed to load player data: End of Stream encountered before parsing was completed.

[wintry quarry]

well there ya go

Sounds like the file didn't contain valid JSON

[honest haven]

so do i call close steam at the end

[summer stump]

Look into TryGetComponent. You won't even need to use tags if you do that
Although you can. In the case of the object being wrong, validating the tag is slightly faster than a failed trygetcomponent call.
Not a big difference though

[umbral mist]

Hello, is there a way to do something like this

boolean = expression

to check if a boolean is true, I don't want to do If (expression) then (boolean is true or false)

[wintry quarry]

Why not just use File.ReadAllText instead of faffing about with streams?

[honest haven]

not heard of that one before

[wintry quarry]

boolVariable = boolExpression is completely valid

[wintry quarry]

like literally, you wrote the answer here as your first sentence

[umbral mist]

    {

        below = footY < platformY;
}

I get an error

[wintry quarry]

Maybe share what the error is?
That will work as long as the datatypes are correct

[umbral mist]

below is a bool, the other 2 are floats

[wintry quarry]

Then there's no problem

[umbral mist]

it says can't convert bool to floats

[wintry quarry]

if you have an error, please share it with the class

[umbral mist]

do i do ==

[wintry quarry]

sounds like below is actually a float

not a bool

[wintry quarry]

if this is the case

[umbral mist]

I want below to be true if one float is less than another

is there shorthand

[wintry quarry]

Are you reading what I'm writing?

You used the wrong datatype for below

you wrote float

it should be a bool

[umbral mist]

I'm asking if you can make a bool true or false based on an expression without using an if statement

[wintry quarry]

I said yes already

You are not reading what I'm writing

[willow scroll]

They both return a boolean. Assign the needed boolean to the expression.

bool yourBool = IsSomethingTrue();

[wintry quarry]

bool result;
float x = 5;
float y = 6;
result = x < y;``` This works fine

you just did it wrong

you did this:

float result;
float x = 5;
float y = 6;
result = x < y;```

[umbral mist]

no, i result in my case is a bool

[wintry quarry]

provce it

[umbral mist]

and it says can't convert bool to float

[wintry quarry]

prove it

Show the full script

I think you made a mistake

because your error message implies you made it a float

[umbral mist]

{
    Overseer global;
    Player player;

    float footY;

    float platformY;

    BoxCollider2D bc2d;

    PlayerControl playerControl;

    public bool below;
    public bool down;
    public bool jump;

    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update()
    {
        footY = player.transform.position.y - 0.5f;

        platformY = 

        below == footY < platformY;

        if (down && jump && below)
        {
            bc2d.enabled = false;
        }
        else
        {
            bc2d.enabled = true;
        }
    }```

[restive ember]

you put ==

[wintry quarry]

what the heck is this

delete the platformY = broken thing

[umbral mist]

i changed it to == after I asked

[restive ember]

yes the platformY = is why you are getting an error

its just an empty line

[wintry quarry]

it needs to be = and you need to delete this nonsense

[umbral mist]

oh oops wow

yea

that's why I put it in beginner

[languid spire]

not quite
platformY = below == ...

[restive ember]

right now what you have is float = (bool = expression);

[umbral mist]

I thought I was better than this

I have bool = (float > float)

[restive ember]

and you cannot convert a float to a bool

[wintry quarry]

is your IDE configured?

[restive ember]

without the platformy yes

[umbral mist]

yea I fixed it

[restive ember]

nice 👍

[umbral mist]

thank you all, I should have finished that first

[restive ember]

it happens :D

[languid spire]

remember statements are terminated by ; not by new line

[cosmic flicker]

Hello,

I am currently facing a problem. I've attached recordings of my actual game progress. The problem is that on the top half of the grid (that is isometric) you can see that the placeholder isn't appearing unless I kinda put it next to an already placed bloc, in that case only the face against an already placed bloc is kinda appearing. It started to appear after I imported and used an asset pack called low poly water. I did some debugging but I feel like it's not a code problem or anything like that, just in case here is a pastebin of the PreviewSystem. I've tested to place cubes with just a normal blue plane and it works just nicely (as you can see on one of the 2 attached videos), so it seems to be the low poly water plane from the asset pack, maybe a shader problem but I'm not quite sure, if anyone has a clue I would be happy to hear it.

Disclaimer : I'm currently learning unity, and especially integrating graphics, for a long time I made games for fun without using any assets so I kinda understand the coding part but not the visual things.

[frail laurel]

is there anyone who willing to help?

[wintry quarry]

Are you aver calling AddTime? Is it ever running? Use Debug.Log to check

[frail laurel]

nah it doesn't add

[polar acorn]

So if you're never calling AddTime that's a good reason why AddTime might not be getting called

[frail laurel]

im gonna try calling it and see if it would work

[rocky canyon]

Sorry, I started to answer and got a phone call..
But. what you have looks like it will work..

• Make sure the OnTriggerEnter2D is on an object with a BoxCollider2D or some other 2D collider
• Make sure there's a Rigidbody2D somewhere on the setup.. (mine is on the Player in this example)
• Make sure that isTrigger is ticked on the Collider on the GameObject the script is attached..
• Make sure that your Player Tag is applied to Other GameObject.. and that its spelling and capitalization match exactly

using UnityEngine;
public class Monster : MonoBehaviour
{
    public float damageAmount =10f;
    public float health = 100f;

    private void OnTriggerEnter2D(Collider2D other)
    {
        Debug.Log($"Something collided with our Trigger.. {other.name}");

        if(other.CompareTag("Player"))
        {
            Debug.Log($"That 'something' matches our tag..");
            
            // Take Damage to Monster
            health -= damageAmount;
        }
    }
}```

Hi everyone, I'm trying to get an object to follow my mouse in a room (like first video). What I want is for the object's position to change to where the mouse is moved. I am doing this by casting a ray from the mouse. When the ray hits a collider the object's position should change to where it hit. But when i hit play and click on the object, it move along the ray that is being cast, starting at the collision (hit.point) and traveling towards the camera. Once it reaches the camera it starts over at hit.point and repeats. When I move the mouse the object's position changes to the new hit.point and moves toward the camera (second video). Anyone know how to fix that, or is there any other way to move the object like the first video? Thanks!

[rocky canyon]

ur code must be doing that.. can u show the code where u position the object to the hit location

[brisk kindle]

My code:

public class Trash : MonoBehaviour
{
    private bool _dragging;
    
    private Vector3 _originPos;

    private void Start()
    {
        _originPos = transform.position;
    }

    private void Update()
    {
        if (!_dragging) return;
        
        var ray = Camera.main.ScreenPointToRay(Input.mousePosition);
        RaycastHit hit;
        
        if (Physics.Raycast(ray, out hit))
        {
            var mousePos = hit.point;
            transform.position = mousePos;
        }
    }

    private void OnMouseDown()
    {
        _dragging = true;
    }

    private void OnMouseUp()
    {
        _dragging = false;
        transform.position = _originPos;
    }
}```

[valid roost]

hm now the sprite just through the ground

[wintry quarry]

your raycast is hitting the object itself when you spawn it

Use a layermask to exclude it

[untold bear]

hey, i'm missing the correct android jdk, sdk, ndk and gradle for my new unity version which I downloaded through the unity archive, online it sais to download in through the hub but there it won't let me add modules, where else can I find the right versions for this?A

[deft grail]

wont let you add modules why?

[untold bear]

idk just not an option

[deft grail]

click installs

then topr ight should be add modules

[untold bear]

yeah I know but it's not there

[deft grail]

screenshot it

[languid spire]

you cannot add modules to a Editor that was not installed via the Hub

[untold bear]

https://gyazo.com/a47a3f9b17ddf2bd8e41ec7ef35d6355

[deft grail]

i see, it only works with LTS i think

[untold bear]

it is an lts version but I had problems downloading it through the hub as the install would just stay stuck in an endless loop, then I decided to download through the archive which worked fine but now I can't add the modules

I mean I could just download them manually and put them in the right folders but i'm not sure where or how to find the right versions for this unity version

[brisk kindle]

Click add modules and check jdk, sdk... was installed or not, if installed, u should try uninstall the Editor and reinstall it. It work for me

[brisk kindle]

I know, but if i use layermask, the object just move on the floor or wall only! 😦

[languid spire]

go back to the archive page and download the Unity Installer for your Editor Version, that should allow you to add modules to the Editor

[untold bear]

the add modules isn't there for the version i'm using now 2021.3.38

[untold bear]

this is the only option it gives me using the installer, after that it just starts

[languid spire]

Works for me

Did you just download the editor again, not the Unity Installer like I said?

[untold bear]

downloaded the exe again from 'https://unity.com/releases/editor/whats-new/2021.3.38#release-notes'

also downloaded the android build support component installer

[brisk kindle]

Dont do that

[languid spire]

https://unity.com/releases/editor/archive

[brisk kindle]

https://unity.com/releases/editor/archive

Go here and select ur version, click Unity Hub and Install in Unity Hub

[wintry quarry]

Use whatever layers you want.

[untold bear]

alright gonna restart pc and try again and run unity hub as admin now as I read that could be the reason the install in hub never finishes

[brisk kindle]

I just realized that using raycast only allows objects to move on colliders. But I want it to be able to move freely like in this video. Maybe I should try something else, do you have any suggestions for this problem?

[wintry quarry]

Plane.Raycast

This video seems to use an isometric view with an orthographic camera

So the depth doesn't really matter

Whereas your game is using a perspective camera

So that's going to change things a bit

[valid roost]

[frail laurel]

i don't know how to make it work it doesn't work for me i want when the obstacle respawns the timer would add 20 seconds

[polar acorn]

Try logging Timer after you add time to it

Update = I just set the render to be 3001 (right after the water plane) and it works like a charm

hi im working on the 2d beginner unity course and i have an issue

ive just updated my character moving script to now have the move left as an input action

but its saying that InputAction doesnt have a definition for isPressed

[rocky canyon]

u have to regenerate ur c# class

[high marsh]

how do i do that?

oh wait i found it

the guide was just wrong

[rocky canyon]

each time you add to ur input actions u need to regenerate the class (make a new version of it)

[high marsh]

its IsPressed not isPressed but the guide had it wrong so when i copy pasted it in it didnt work

[rocky canyon]

so the references exist

[high marsh]

what do you mean regenerate?

like make a new save?

[rich adder]

I thought once you generated it one time, any save changes gets added to this dynamic class on its own no?

i am having a problem where the boxcolliders collide without touching eachother, this is the bug and the code

i can't say for sure.. I've had other people do it to solve their issue.. and the last time i used the c# class I would have to regenerate.. The action map could be updated automatically.. but not the c# script.. I would think that'd be something they'd add or something that should be the default functionality but idk tbh

[untold bear]

I'm still dealing with this issue, even using the installer didn't provide these for me and the hub download still just doesn't work, the blue bar looks finished but it never actually does and the files aren't showing up in the explorer, really not sure what to do here

hi, i have a problem, can someone help me?
i have a shooter test, so when i shoot to some place, the bullet go to the bullet hole and if after that i shoot to another place without an obstacle, the bullet go to the last bullet hole, i have an video of that error if someone needs it

And if apart from that you could help me fix that when I start the game, the camera doesn't look down, it would also help me a lot

[rocky canyon]

it appears to work now.. soo I guess you don't need to regenerate it each time! 🙂

[eager wolf]

this gives me object reference error on line 67, not sure why (it's the last line)

[rocky canyon]

Last time I was messing with it it didn't work so much...

[ivory bobcat]

And which line is 67?

[eager wolf]

the last one (with code)

[tulip plover]

this are the codes

[ivory bobcat]

I'm assuming your error was a null reference exception error? @eager wolf

[eager wolf]

yes

[ivory bobcat]

So db was null and an error was thrown because that line attempted to call the get item method from a null. Apparently the resource doesn't exist.

[eager wolf]

yep, i'm an idiot, thanks
(called the folder "Ressources" not "Resources")

[radiant frigate]

does someone know why that error pops up?

is that good?

[rocky canyon]

are u trying to get the Rigidbody off the MeteorExposion script?

because GetComponent is trying to get a rigidbody off of the gameobject this script is attached to..

also.. you sent WeaponController via Hatebin..

the error is on MeteorFireMovementScript
