assuming noone actually loads them by accident

whatever can we go back to original question

best way to compress samples to minimize disk usage

[slender nymph]

i am not going to attempt to help you with your absolutely dumb idea. so good luck

also your plan is still piracy. which is not allowed to be discussed in this server

[late burrow]

i love others searching for excuses to kick me out of discussion

[frosty hound]

@late burrow Be quiet please. If you have more nonense to kick up, make a thread as always.

[polar acorn]

If they actually were solutions you wouldn't be posting here every day trying to solve another problem you didn't think of that literally would not be a problem if you just sent the bytes

[chrome valve]

hey guys, im trying to add an inputaction that takes a 2d vector as per a tutorial. but its not an option, probably bc im using a more updated version than the tutorial. any tips?

[rich adder]

make sure you select the correct action type

[chrome valve]

well, let me send you a screenshot of what i mean

@rich adder as you can see, it doesnt offer me 2d vector

but, the tutorial does, you knomw?

[rich adder]

yes because now it depends on the Action type you select

[chrome valve]

theirs has "add vector2d composite"

[chrome valve]

action type?

[rich adder]

yes a Button would not have a composite

a button cannot be a composite

[chrome valve]

😮

wait, what should it be isntead

[rich adder]

somehting like value

then choose vector2

[chrome valve]

oh, you might be a genius, thanks

[dusty ridge]

I need this script to return the dragged card back to where it began when we started dragging it not working not sure why it want to change every card to same position.

public class Card : MonoBehaviour
{
    private Vector3 startPosition;

    private int cardNum = 0;
    private float distance = 0;
    
    public void Start()
    { 
        Player.cards.Add(gameObject);
        startPosition = gameObject.GetComponent<RectTransform>().transform.position;
    }

    public void OnMouseDrag()
    {
        Player.activeCard = gameObject;

        if(Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0))
        {
            startPosition = transform.position;
        }

        Vector3 mousePosNormalized = GameObject.FindWithTag(Tags.camera).GetComponent<CameraController>().mousePositionNormalized;
        int cardLeftRight = 0;

        if (mousePosNormalized.x < 0)
            cardLeftRight = 1;
        else
            if (mousePosNormalized.x > 0)
            cardLeftRight = -1;
        else cardLeftRight = 1;

        if (transform.GetComponent<RectTransform>().position.y > Screen.height / 4)
        {
            gameObject.GetComponent<RectTransform>().localScale = Vector2.one * 1.5f;
            transform.GetComponent<RectTransform>().position = Vector3.Lerp(transform.position, Input.mousePosition + new Vector3((Screen.width / 4) * cardLeftRight, 0, 0), 10 * Time.deltaTime); 
        }
        else
        {
            transform.GetComponent<RectTransform>().position = Input.mousePosition;
        }
    }

    private void Update()
    {
        if(Input.GetMouseButtonUp(0))
        {
            transform.GetComponent<RectTransform>().position = startPosition;
            GetComponent<RectTransform>().localScale = Vector2.one * 0.75f;
            Player.activeCard = null;
        }
    }
}

[polar acorn]

GetMouseButtonUp runs whenever you release left click

[wintry quarry]

Because every card is running this code:

    private void Update()
    {
        if(Input.GetMouseButtonUp(0))
        {
            transform.GetComponent<RectTransform>().position = startPosition;
            GetComponent<RectTransform>().localScale = Vector2.one * 0.75f;
            Player.activeCard = null;
        }
    }```

[polar acorn]

It does not matter where the mosue is

[dusty ridge]

OK so i changed it back it was like that but ow it throws null reference to and object then why???

it was not yesterday either the code worked for like week then one day decided to stop working

then I had o rewrite

I had to rewrite trying to fix it

Why does unity have this problem code goes for weeks working just fine then one day says no I am not working anymore?

[polar acorn]

Probably because a reference on the line the error says is null

[dusty ridge]

how can it ba null i ahva enot nulled it

I have not nulled it

not like it dispeaing the card is still there and moving back otits position

not destroying it

[verbal dome]

What line throws the null exception?

[dusty ridge]

yeah not being referenced in anyother script

that same line lol

[wintry quarry]

things are null by defualt or if you assign them to null

[polar acorn]

which line

[dusty ridge]

73

[polar acorn]

useful

[dusty ridge]

OK your pinting out something but what?

[polar acorn]

Note the lack of line numbers because you did not post !code properly

How do we know what line 73 is?

[dusty ridge]

ok so how I do I paste it here then

https://paste.ofcode.org/czyvau4jk4ZYkqkSz8Lxdp

[verbal dome]

Doesnt even have 73 lines

[dusty ridge]

nvm I going to the forums

[errant pilot]

Guys the child part is correct but it isnt working where did i go wrong?

[summer stump]

Be sure to provide the stuff that is needed for them to actually help you

[polar acorn]

So I guess line 73 has an error because the code ended 20 lines ago

[dusty ridge]

yeah now you see teh problem lol

lol

[verbal dome]

Pretty sure you can just use transform.position instead of transform.GetComponent<RectTransform>().position btw.

[verbal dome]

We literally can not see the problem

That's the issue

[polar acorn]

The problem being you refuse to actually provide the correct information yes

[dusty ridge]

neither work all cards reset no matter what all go to parents position o matter what with Horizontal Layout Group

[polar acorn]

We answered that

[dusty ridge]

I gave the orrect info lol not my fault the engine is buggy af

[polar acorn]

No, this is 1000% a you problem

You still refuse to tell us what line your error is on

[dusty ridge]

I had issue the other day as wel and it was the engine I recoded that part of the engine and got the thing working, because it was creating random events all by itself because a prefab canvas not in use . I got same response I was the problem and not providing correct info when I shows exactly what Unity was showing me for an error. I wen to the forum had a responce in like 5 mins and it solved my problem.

[polar acorn]

Mate, you literally will not tell us what line the error is on

I can't help someone who hasn't developed object permanence yet

[frosty hound]

@dusty ridge Go the forums already. Otherwise, show the error so people can help you. If not, be quiet. If your next post here isn't anything useful to help you, you will be muted.

[polar acorn]

You are aware that we cannot see your goddamn screen right

[wintry quarry]

The UI one is not called that. You should use TMP_Text not TextMeshPro

[frosty hound]

!mute 436401905392943105 1d You can return tomorrow. If the forums haven't helped solved your issue, you can ask again here with proper details.

"What line?"
"This one"

"The one I'm pointing to on my screen can't you see that?"

[fresh osprey]

oops

[frosty hound]

It truly is baffling to think people actually communicate that poorly

[fresh osprey]

is..is that what he said?

oh he did

[languid spire]

And yet, happens all too often

[frosty hound]

Can you stop spamming the !code bot as well, thanks.

[fresh osprey]

oop you spammed it in the process but yeah

my discord was lagging so they all appeared at once on my screen.

[fresh osprey]

Okay, i get it. no need to spam me with warnings now. Ironic considering you were warning me for spamming...

[frosty hound]

That wasn't me: #↕️┃editor-extensions message

If you're having discord issues, that's not on us.

[fresh osprey]

oh, its fine if its not you. but its not a discord issue. ive never been warned by any bot this many times

[fickle plume]

Was catching up with the server. You've spammed multiple channels. You can stop spamming now,

[fresh osprey]

Yeah. I have. I explained it was an issue. Didnt need to get revenge on me by spamming me back though, okay?

[fickle plume]

Like I said, I was catching up from another channel you've spammed in

[fresh osprey]

@fickle plumeThere were only two channels I even sent messages in. So again, no need for 7-8 messages, and if you were catching up you didn't need to do that. Pretty bad mod. But okay, just leave it there. Should maybe accept you're a bad mod instead of facepalming?

[slender nymph]

show code

one thing to note is that you should not be multiplying your mouse input by deltaTime. this isn't related to the issue but will cause stuttering issues so make sure to remove that and then reduce the value of your Sensitivity variable

anyway, look at the getter for your CameraY property

[fresh osprey]

every time trust me

[slender nymph]

sometimes you just need a second set of eyes to spot a mistake like that

yes if you do not have an explicity backing field

you will need one anyway because right now you just throw the value you get from your Mathf.Clamp call into the ether

i'd recommend a cast with some volume like a boxcast or something. a raycast won't really account for ground unless the exact middle of the object is on ground

[summer stump]

For slopes, you can check the normal of the raycasthit and use dot product to see the difference between something like vector.up and that normal is.

And yeah, rays can be tough with that

[swift crag]

Volume casts are slower, yes, but it's not going to matter here at all

[wintry quarry]

sure it would be like carrying 2 drops of water in your gallon bucket instead of 1

[swift crag]

(and they're not that much slower, from my experience)

[polar acorn]

I prefer a 3x3 box of raycasts at each extreme of the bounding box. Then you can compare the distances between them all to find out things like the angle of the slope. But that's a lot of math

[swift crag]

is this 3D?

if so, one thing to watch out for is that volume casts ignore things they start inside of

(you can configure this for 2D physics, i believe)

[stuck palm]

public override void OnPointerDown(PointerEventData eventData)
    {
        audioSource.PlayOneShot(click);
        OnClick();
    }

why isnt the code in here running?

im using a controller to navigate

[wintry quarry]

Does your class have IPointerDownHandler declared?
Do you have an event system?

also if you're using a controller that meanw there's no pointer down

pointers are mice and touchscreens

[stuck palm]

im using the selectable class

[stuck palm]

what would i use then?

[wintry quarry]

ISelectHandler

or override OnSelected

[wintry quarry]

Really you don't need to override the selectable class, you can just have a separate Selectable component and then implement ISelectHandler or IPointerXXHandler yourself in your separate script

[stuck palm]

i thought Iselecthandler was for when you hover over something

[stuck palm]

im doing it because it makes setting navigation easier

[wintry quarry]

I know I'm telling you a cleaner way to do the same thing

[stuck palm]

oh right

selected is highlighted though, isnt it?

[swift crag]

No, they're two different things.

The "highlighted" color on a Selectable is shown when the pointer is over the object

This is separate from the "selected" color

(both are incredibly faint by default)

[stuck palm]

public override void OnSelect(BaseEventData eventData)
    {
        audioSource.PlayOneShot(hover);
        text.color = selectedColor;
    }

Im using onselect for when the player is over something

[wintry quarry]

for a controller there's no hovering

just selection

[stuck palm]

sorry yeah i meant highlighting as in selected

isnt the interface for clicking ipointerclickhandler?

[wintry quarry]

You want ISubmitHandler / OnSubmit

[stuck palm]

SUBMIT thats what it was

thank you

[bright violet]

having a bit of an issue with my IDE. even tho it's set-up and i'm using the appropriate dependency, it won't autofill/find any Unity.Netcode function, like OnNetworkSpawn or such. Am I messing something up?

[slender nymph]

try regenerating project files

[stuck palm]

what is null here?

[slender nymph]

do you have an event system active in the scene?

[stuck palm]

yeah

[slender nymph]

that just shows you have a GameObject named EventSystem. look at its components to make sure it actually has the EventSystem component on it

[bright violet]

that didn't do it :/

[slender nymph]

if you type override first, do you see the NetworkBehaviour methods? because, unlike unity messages such as Awake and OnEnable, they are virtual methods on the base class

[stuck palm]

right sorry, its the autogenerated object?

[slender nymph]

and this object is already in the scene before the PlayButton's OnEnable method is run?

[bright violet]

I do, i guess this does it. Weird tho, in the tutorial i was watching they just typed spawn iirc

[stuck palm]

yes, theyre both already in the scene

[slender nymph]

in that case are you certain you are looking at the correct line? the screenshot does not have line numbers nor the class name so that isn't entirely clear

[stuck palm]

can confirm

[slender nymph]

is this happening after loading from a different scene or is this the first scene you load?

[stuck palm]

this is the first scene

[slender nymph]

then i'd suggest using the debugger to step through the code and figure out why EventSystem.current is returning null

[stuck palm]

how can i do this?

[slender nymph]

https://unity.huh.how/debugging/debugger

[stuck palm]

thanks

[stuck palm]

what do i do here?

[willow scroll]

EventSystem.current is null

You do fix it

[stuck palm]

it shouldnt be

[willow scroll]

You probably don't have an EventSystem

[dusty silo]

I would like help with this still. The system will detect Vertices, but not edges other than their colliders being nearly identical.

[ember tangle]

Is it okay to have an Interface without MonoBehaviour inheritance contain member objects that are MonoBehaviours?

[timber tide]

wat

[swift crag]

well, an interface doesn't have fields..

but any code can work with MonoBehaviour-derived classes, sure

[real falcon]

do you guys know what this means

I am getting this after I updated my Unity version

[rocky canyon]

loooks like an editor error /bug

restart unity and see if it still appears

[real falcon]

I did, it still appears

what about this camera one

[wintry quarry]

Something is weird with your camera object

[rocky canyon]

^ ya thats a new one

[real falcon]

I have two cameras, do I need to set something up with that?

before I updated, one just rendered the gun basically

as an overlay

I don't know what this is

[rich adder]

URP adds this to the camera

[rocky canyon]

if its easy enough to do i'd recreate the camera setup u have now that u've upgraded projects

i use multiple camera's in my URP project.. not really an issue.. just two things

• make sure only 1 camera is tagged MainCamera
• make sure that you only have 1 audiolistener

[swift crag]

I've seen the editor have a little hiccup and screw up the additional camera data before

[rich adder]

in urp you can use renderer feature

[swift crag]

i think i saw that happen to the scene camera once...

which is spooky

[rocky canyon]

instead of 2 cameras? is that what u mean?

[rocky canyon]

ive seen the same thing.. where it'll flicker.. like its trying to expand.. / recompile or something

sometimes u can click or and sometimes not..

i just create a new camera and delete ones that do that.. ihaven't seen that in a while tho tbh

2022 -ish

[real falcon]

ok I think I've mostly fixed stuff but my clipping prevention is no longer working

I have the gun camera culling mask just set to UI so idk why it's doing this

[rocky canyon]

ya, in URP u can use Renderer features to fix that issue

its not the same workflow as the 2 camera setup

[swift crag]

yes: you can just directly draw an object onto the screen

you can do this after all of the other opaque objects have rendered, and ignore the depth buffer

[rich adder]

yeah because you don't get shadows with 2 cameras

[rocky canyon]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TTZSxt28FkY&ab_channel=WolfeyGamedev

[rich adder]

yup this one helped me ^

[swift crag]

The big-brain alternative is to just position the weapon so that it doesn't actually clip

by having the player pull it back towards their body

[rocky canyon]

true, for him thats what id recommend.. my setup uses an extra camera for a render texture..

[real falcon]

ill try it

[rocky canyon]

camera stacking is old news..

still relevant.. but with URP u can save soem performance by not having an extra camera

[rich adder]

renderer features in URP are dope

[rocky canyon]

and like navarone mentioned.. u'd get better shadows as well

[rich adder]

you can make easy outlines , see through walls objects etc

[rocky canyon]

i use it for an outline shader

BUT. i been having issues with it so i removed it for now

gotta learn a bit more about the order of operations or w/e u wanna call it

[rich adder]

yeah the rendering order and passes

[rocky canyon]

yes, this ^

i already had it working but i dont like to lean on systems i dont understand too much

[rich adder]

iirc if you look at the frame debugger you can see what happens on each pass

[rocky canyon]

you can, not sure the procedure.. but ive shuffled thru them before looking at the cool stuff

like the depth

frame debugger is correct 👍

[rich adder]

I've been trying to play with renderer feature to get an easy "obra dinn" look

[rocky canyon]

so cool

[swift crag]

i've had it lie to me before

to be fair, this is due to a weird SRP batcher bug

it fed wild values into a Matrix4x4 property that I hadn't yet set from a script

[rich adder]

use the scrollbar at the top

[swift crag]

but the frame debugger showed the expected identity matrix

[rocky canyon]

ohh heck.. thanks

yea this one is sus.. not sure what its viewing from

[swift crag]

the sun, perhaps

[rocky canyon]

thats the best guess lol

[stuck palm]

i keep getting errors when trying to do the last line on startup. selectfirstitem is run onEnable, and im assuming the event system is not initialised by then or something?

[summer stump]

Do you HAVE an event system in the scene?

What is the error?

[stuck palm]

yes. im getting a null reference exception, though.

[lethal swallow]

Sorry, why does the enemy phase into the ground when attacked?

tysm

[slender nymph]

doesn't look like a code issue. looks like you are using a non-humanoid animation on your humanoid rig

[lethal swallow]

i'm not v good at unity, sorry how would i fix this

sry for wasting your time

also, it is a free asset from the asset store

[slender nymph]

have you tried looking at the settings for the animation?

[lethal swallow]

this?

[slender nymph]

no, that is the animator component.

[lethal swallow]

these?

[slender nymph]

try looking at the animation clips that the warning in that screenshot is telling you about

[lethal swallow]

sry 1 sec wrong image

[slender nymph]

because that is still the animation component and not the animations themselves

[lethal swallow]

wrong image sry mb

[astral falcon]

first of all !code . And if you rotate around your player and the player gets distorted in another axis then your up one, it will rotate around that new distorted axis resulting in weird angles

[ember tangle]

What is the best way to delete a GameObject after calling exampleGameObjectsQueue.Dequeue()

[slender nymph]

depends on what you mean by "delete a gameobject". if you want to remove the gameobject instance from the scene then just pass it to the Destroy method

[ember tangle]

Maybe I misunderstand but I thought I lose the pointer once I use Dequeue()

[swift crag]

this isn't C++ (:

but yes, if that was the last reference you had to the game object, you will no longer be able to destroy it

(since you will have no clue where it is)

just pass the return value from Dequeue to the Destroy method

[ember tangle]

Hmm maybe

// do stuff
Destroy(foo);``` ?

[slender nymph]

yes

[ember tangle]

alright thanks

[summer stump]

If you don't need to do stuff then Destroy(fooQueue.Dequeue()); of course.
Since you weren't saving the reference earlier, not sure if you need that. Just an idea

[slender nymph]

1. that is backwards
2. why, they never gave any indication of wanting to delay the destroy

[lapis yew]

1. recalculate UV's in blender
2. warped faces that bend/overlap

[frosty hound]

Please don't post incorrect answers

[lapis yew]

ive seen this before in blender (and unity alike)

[ember tangle]

basically a move command goes to a formation of units which in turn has to have a queue of formation positions for it to rotate at target and the move and then rotate again into position. No timer needed.

[glossy turtle]

Are you completely a beginner.

[ember tangle]

I would say I am an amateur / beginner. A decade ago I made a simple 2d engine in C++ and I have enough understanding that my unity project is working as intended. Trying to use programming patterns and always learning a lot as I go lol 😛. Why?

[glossy turtle]

That was a basic about movement and rotation.

[rocky canyon]

oh, im aware of that trick.. i was just showing the shadowmap in the frame debugger..
the model's fine, I believe..
i got it from https://www.thebasemesh.com/
all their models have pretty good UVs right off the rip

[ember tangle]

I'm so confused lol

[summer stump]

Don't worry about them. You're good.

[strong sorrel]

What is the naming convention for public static variables in c#? I know that in java its supposed to be all capitalized kinda like this: public static float GRAVITY = -9.81f;

[rocky canyon]

https://unity.com/how-to/naming-and-code-style-tips-c-scripting-unity
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/fundamentals/coding-style/identifier-names

i usually use PascalCase for all public variables regardless if their static or not

camalCase for private.. and an _forLocalVars

[strong sorrel]

I just finished my first year of computer science in college and ive been trying to adhere to naming conventions unlike what i used to do befgore college

[rocky canyon]

really up to you tho, as long as its consistent

[strong sorrel]

funny how it makes it clearer

[rocky canyon]

well, its like color coding a file-cabinet 😄
once u file enough Due-Bills in an orange folder..
orange starts to give you anxiety

[mint dove]

you can name ur variables whatever you want if it's clear and easy to read

[strong sorrel]

haha

yeah i just look back on projects cause ive been doing unity for 5 years before college and im just like bruh what was i on

[rocky canyon]

i do see captial statics alot

GRAVITY for example

[strong sorrel]

thats what you do in java i know that

[rocky canyon]

and i also see alot of m_Gravity type variables for private members

but i think people are using that less and less often in Unity c#

[devout swift]

Hello guys, can you guys tell me a reason on how can you pause an editor without pushing the pause button from the editor?

Because I don't understand how my script can pause my editor for no reason.

[mint dove]

ctrl shift p

[rocky canyon]

Ctrl + Shft + P

[slender nymph]

you likely have error pause on and have errors in your console

[rocky canyon]

Cmd if ur trendy

[devout swift]

what is error pause on?

[rocky canyon]

means when a console error appears.. it auto-pauses

[mint dove]

error pause

[slender nymph]

pro tip: leave it on and fix your errors

[devout swift]

Thank you guys. Now it works. I have been rattling my head on this for hours now. I didn't know I turned it on by accident. I'm trying to make a behavior tree, lol.

[glossy turtle]

That's right said.

[rocky canyon]

if you leave it off remember to fix ur errors before u build

[slender nymph]

have you considered not ignoring the errors in your console instead?

[rocky canyon]

but moooom....

[devout swift]

The only error I can see is this though.

and I don't know what that is.

[rocky canyon]

its some Mobile/ Android error

[tame mist]

if i want to put a script in here to reference from how should i do so? like with codepen?

[devout swift]

So does that error pause acts on what? Red errors only or it can also react on yellow errors??

[slender nymph]

the yellow ones are warnings, not errors

[rocky canyon]

Red are actual errors.. yellow is warnings and white is just logs

red are bad

Red will break ur game.. hence why it pauses

[devout swift]

ow thanks. I think the error in my console is about my phone not connected to my pc.

I have been playing around with the debugger for hours. I thought that my code has something to do with it pausing the editor. Lol.

[rocky canyon]

yeap, it appears that way

If you dont connect a proper phone to pc to test the app, then go to player settings, editor, Unity remote, device, and select “none”.

seems u can bypass that error while u work w/o ur phone connected

[devout swift]

Anyway thank you guys. That was stressful lol.

[tame mist]

i'm trying to activate pooled objects and they are supposed to be at coordinates 0,0,0. in the debug statements the position seems correct but in the inspector it's way off. I'll link the spawner script and show a picture of the inspector

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

[static cedar]

The Position that the inspector displays is relative to the parent game object.

I know this is annoying but the Transform.position is global.

You're probably looking for Transform.localPosition.

[cosmic dagger]

are these objects parented to another GameObject?

[tame mist]

yes they are

[static cedar]

[cosmic dagger]

then it's as Lilac says . . .

[static cedar]

[cosmic dagger]

position from the inspector is the local position, not the global position . . .

[static cedar]

I thought about this a long time ago, but i sense a sighing remarks whenever you add those three dots.

I also think i'm a bit too sensitive when it comes to tiny things, so it could just be me.

[rich adder]

3 dots means like a continuation of a thought

[static cedar]

Hmm i guess it's up to interpretation.

[rich adder]

I always used them that way 🤷‍♂️

[cosmic dagger]

haha, no worries. it's not a sigh. it's a . . . wait, damn. navarone kinda hit it on the head . . .

[static cedar]

Context wise, it feels like sighing against the obvious.

That's how i see it from months ago being here.

[cosmic dagger]

it's like, "to be continued . . ." or a trail in thought. there are many definitions for it. my use is the creative writing version(s) . . .

[glossy turtle]

Yes a continuation.

[static cedar]

[tame mist]

the parent gameobject is set to 0,0,0 as well. how can i keep the objects at 0,0,0?

[static cedar]

And the parent of that?

And so on.

[cosmic dagger]

there are 4 levels of parents . . .

[tame mist]

oh boy 🙃

[static cedar]

[tame mist]

lol

[static cedar]

Didn't structure the game object well.

[tame mist]

yeah i'm fairly new

this will be a good lesson i guess

[cosmic dagger]

any one of these that arent at 0, 0, 0 will offset all of their childrens' positions . . .

[static cedar]

Understandable. I've rewrote something as much as 4 times.

[eternal needle]

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Physics.CapsuleCast.html
read the docs on what the points actually are for

[cosmic dagger]

the capsule moves along a direction. how will you determine what comes into contact with it, if it doesn't move?

like a raycast, you determine how far the capsule is cast . . .

horizontal or vertical wouldn't matter. both of those are directions . . .

is the height, the total height or from the middle to the top/bottom?

i asked because i don't know; just to make sure it's correct . . .

[rocky canyon]

controller height is the entire capsule.. from the bottom to the top..

[radiant frigate]

hi! is there a way to scale gameobject on instantiate? looked at api docs and couldnt find it

[slender nymph]

Instantiate returns a reference to the created object, just use that reference to modify its transform.localScale

[radiant frigate]

and what if my reference is a prefab, and depending on what moment i want to scale it less or more?

[slender nymph]

the "reference" i was referring to what the object returned by Instantiate

your prefab is irrelevant

[radiant frigate]

by reference you mean the object it creates?

"instantiates"

[slender nymph]

Instantiate returns a reference to the created object

oops

mb i didnt want to ping you

even though i was meant to paste code

https://gdl.space/wucejolihe.xml

do you mean something like this?

[summer stump]

That is how you would set the local scale of the gameobject instance you instantiated

[radiant frigate]

isnt that what i want?

[summer stump]

Seems to be, yes

I am just explaining what the code you wrote does

[radiant frigate]

okay

even though i still have to solve some unwanted mechanichs i think it is exactly what i need

[radiant frigate]

how can i set a script variable to get a component(the script) from an object thats neither the parent or child?

[summer stump]

https://unity.huh.how/references

[radiant frigate]

ty!

i wasnt quite sure if that also counted as a reference but it made sense

[summer stump]

No prob.
The question to ask is if the object exists before the scene starts or not

If not, then you'll either want to grab that reference from instantiate and pass it along, or get it from something like collisions

[radiant frigate]

yes, in theory it should since the object from which i want the script is there at the start and doesnt get instantiated or something like that

[summer stump]

Then best bet is to just drag and drop it

[radiant frigate]

it wont let me do that

[summer stump]

That is called "serialized references" in that link

Ah, is it to a prefab?
Prefabs can't reference scene objects

[radiant frigate]

let me show you because it would be to large to explain for the little it is

brb

im back

if i want to drag it the tab closes and therefore i cant drop it

[radiant frigate]

can i use the getcomponent even if its not a component from the same gameobject?

[summer stump]

I'm confused what is going on here. You should click, HOLD, and drag.
If you release the click, it will select the spawner. If you don't, it wont
You could also click the lock on the inspector

[summer stump]

Yes, but that is unnecessary here

[radiant frigate]

OH i didnt know that happens if you hold

[slender nymph]

also you can pop out the properties for a component from the context menu or you can lock your inspector

[summer stump]

It's the same click, hold, drag functionaility as all software I've ever used. Just don't release the click

[radiant frigate]

ty all!

[radiant frigate]

its my first oop language

well my first language at all

and same with software

[summer stump]

Sorry, I meant software.
As in any program on any computer

Like the operating system itself

Like dragging a file into a folder

[polar acorn]

I got the tape but they don't have the rings in the right size and staples is closed so I'll have to get them tomorrow morning

[summer stump]

I can't tell if this is super obscure joke or mistake
I kinda love it either way

[radiant frigate]

okay i just tried this and it just doesnt happen, i want to move a component from the spawner to the "meteor" but i cant select the meteor for the tab to appear or i will lose the grab, and neither can i lock on the inspector since then i cant select the component from the other one

[slender nymph]

just drag the gameobject

it will get the correct component when you do

[tacit estuary]

You can also drag the spawner game object, and will auto grab the component

[radiant frigate]

ohhhhh

[summer stump]

Oh, I see the issue. From the video it looked like you were trying to drag the object at first, so I thought you knew that

Watching videos of this stuff on a phone is difficult for me sometimes

[radiant frigate]

oh no its just that the way my screen recorder works its hard to tell if it is recording or not so i was just testing lol

[radiant frigate]

totally mb not yours!

np at all it was me doing weird stuff to check if it was working

[plain jetty]

how do you add linebreaks with appendalltext?

im currently using it and when it adds to the text file it is all in one row

[lavish magnet]

Hey Guys remaking boxhead zombies, and Im working on Attack effects for the zombies,. WHen the hit connects, I want the player to be impulsedb ack a bit with an animation, in the direction he got hit. FOr instance the picture, like that direction, no matter what direction the player was facing originally. How can this be done?

[cinder mason]

How would I get all the referenes to scriptable objects of a certain type.
I want to get all the item scriptable objects ive made.

[misty coral]

can you break moveTowards by lagging your game?

I have a moveTowards method on a obj that is starting to jitter and teleport after adding a asset from blender

[hasty sleet]

Just want to say that it's an absolute classic, kudos for the design choice.

Also, consider doing Rigidbody.AddExplosionForce: https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Rigidbody.AddExplosionForce.html

public void AddExplosionForce(float explosionForce, Vector3 explosionPosition, float explosionRadius, float upwardsModifier = 0.0f, ForceMode mode = ForceMode.Force));

[solemn fractal]

Hey guys if I have a player class should I also put everything about the player inside that class or for example habilities or skills I should put in another class like PlayerSkills class ?

[hasty sleet]

Avoid putting too many things into a single class. Done to the extreme, this is a bad pattern called a GodObject.

It's a matter of personal preference how much you should put into a single class. What matters most is readability and maintainability of your code.

If you have 1,000 lines of code in a single script, you're going to start having problems making productive changes. Separating scripts by their functionality is generally ideal.

I would recommend putting player abilities and skills in a different class than player movement, for example, since these serve very distinct purposes.

[solemn fractal]

hmm ok, got it, thank you!!

[hallow sun]

Vector3.Normalize(player.position - zombie.position); //this gets you the direction in which to push the player

[hallow sun]

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Object.FindObjectsOfType.html this?

[summer stump]

That says it does not return assets, so I'm not sure if that would work for SOs

Never tried it though. Worth a shot 🤷‍♂️

[sour fulcrum]

yee but ScriptableObjects are weird in the sense that it's an Asset of an Object (that function does pickup SO's)

[summer stump]

Ah, it does. Ok good to know. Thanks.

[sour fulcrum]

same kinda vibe as Prefab's being kinda a single thing that's both an asset and an instance of said asset

[summer stump]

Well, the page does SPECIFICALLY say it does not pickup prefabs though.
But I get your point about that similarity

Not really sure what you mean by the second part about prefabs though, honestly.

The blue objects in the scene are not prefabs. If it is an instance, it is not longer in the .prefab file format

[sour fulcrum]

I mean in the sense that in refering to them via code you use GameObject and ScriptableObject to reference both the asset and instance

can feel a little weird at times

[summer stump]

Ok, I get what you mean. All just part of how reference types work

[sour fulcrum]

i guess

idk

I kinda wish there was some sort of wrapper class that houses them but Unity's way too deep in to even consider that change haha

[teal viper]

An asset is an instance. A prefab is technically an instance too. It's just an instance that doesn't exist in the scene.

Everything is an instance of some type

[sour fulcrum]

Forsure, Would just be nice to have a built in way of knowing whats the asset and what isn't. I get that can't be built into the instance class c# wise but some sort alternative where the ""asset""" houses the instance used by the asset would be nice etc

far from a massive problem but

[teal viper]

That would just add inconvenience imho. The way it is designed now is specifically for it to be convenient.

As for differentiating prefabs and objects in the scene, well, there are probably many ways, but it's all on you, the game developer.

Typically, you'd use naming conventions that make it clear what is a prefab.

[sour fulcrum]

I know you don't mean it like that but I feel like this answer could be applied to almost any piece of feedback/suggestion/opinion on a engine feature

[hallow sun]

The same page gives you a different line that does get assets: FindObjectsOfTypeAll

[sour fulcrum]

Is there a built in way to identify if a GameObject or ScriptableObject is an asset at runtime? aside from just handling your data in a way that manages it to be like that ofc

[teal viper]

I guess so. In the end unity is developing the engine according to their vision, which is totally acceptable. They probably listen to feedback, but the fact that it is the way it is, means that there was not enough feedback for them to change the design.

[summer stump]

Yes, that is the normal recommendation. To use the Resources class

[teal viper]

For gameObjects, I think you can check their scene. As for SOs, it's hard to say. Need to research.

[sour fulcrum]

Ah yeah the scene ref would work

even something like that for both of them that's built in yknow

I know their meant to be as generalized as possible to not tie them too down to Unity itself but seems reasonable to have even some sort of enum property

[teal viper]

For SOs, they don't really associate with a scene. Once an SO is loaded into memory, it doesn't hold any info on where it was loaded from(asset or created at runtime), so I'm not sure if there's a way to check it, unless you keep track of it manually.

[sour fulcrum]

yeeee. annoying for freaks like me who make them at runtime

[teal viper]

Well, I don't see why you'd need that anyway

It's considered a not very great practice to instantiate SOs at runtime.

[sour fulcrum]

I totally get why doing it is bad but in some cases (espicially in prototyping and early iteration) it can save a lot of hassle when you have a chain of inheriting SO classes with default values that you wanna tweak in editor and drag into other SO's and prefabs etc.

in an ideal world i'd probably have a related base c# class that uses the SO to read data from but then i have to manage double the classes when i could just be awful and make a copy of the SO itself

[timber tide]

CreateInstance would be a more preferable usage if you do want to create more instances as it'll use the default values of the original SO, so you can use it for something like a factory pattern.

It's not technically wrong to instantiate new instances of SOs, it just doesn't make too much sense and you might as well just new a plain c# object instead.

[sour fulcrum]

Yeee i do dw

[sour fulcrum]

Except I can’t (Easily) tweak the default values of a c# class in editor nor can I easily reference said class in inspectors for MonoBehaviours and ScriptableObjects

And yeah I can have 1 class for the template and 1 for the instance but as previously mentioned that becomes tedious when dealing with inheritance

[timber tide]

Yeah that's true. I've done some stuff only with SOs like a Buff/Effect class before and it worked out alright

But that was me just trying new stuff out, but I've kinda developed my way to just use SOs as a readonly data parameter for a Mono/Poco object

[sour fulcrum]

Yeah very similar use-case, although for those specifically I’ve kinda found them more of a pain because Unity seemingly doesn’t have a great way to handle things like Move’s which almost exclusively contain code unique to their class

[timber tide]

At most, you can actually cut down the need for another Poco objec to insert that SO data for, but it doesn't work when you do need a Mono (like coroutines, but there's ways around it like a singleton manager)

[ruby ember]

Anyone know how to make player stop shaking when the elevator is moving up or down

[timber tide]

Very common issue and there's many ways about it like parenting the player to the elevator, but I suggest you to research up your options

[onyx tusk]

how 2 make some action to happen when catched any exception at any code location & send 2 this action exception text?

[final yoke]

hey yall , im trying to use [ClientCallBack] but it isnt working (i am using unityEngine.Networking) was it changed because i cant find a changelog

[burnt vapor]

Take a look at the AppDomain class

I believe it has an event UnhandledException you can hook onto. Hopefully Unity has not broken it.

Obviously this will not magically catch all exceptions and fix your code.

[burnt vapor]

Ask in #archived-networking

[onyx tusk]

i know about it, but how 2 get exception text?

[burnt vapor]

I assume the event will delegate the exception to you, which contains a Message property

You can also cast to specific exceptions if you want to look for something specific

[onyx tusk]

AppDomain.CurrentDomain.UnhandledException += (e, sender) =>
{
    Debug.Log(sender.ToString());
    Debug.Log(e.ToString());
};
throw new Exception("My own exception");`

don't worry about nullpointer, i'm trying 2 debug it

[burnt vapor]

If it doesn't work then Unity broke it and you can't use it sadly

Which seems to be the case here

[onyx tusk]

ok, so what can i use?

[willow scroll]

UnityEngine.Application.logMessageReceived is specially designed for Unity. Use string logString to check for the error thrown

Now I have mentioned that inline code block's appearance has changed

[solemn fractal]

hey guys is Singleton Pattern a good way to go with my scripts?

[keen dew]

If you're asking if all your scripts should be singletons then no. It's good to use it in situations where it's an appropriate choice but that's true for everything

[tame cypress]

Hey everybdoy, i wanted to ask if im developing a jackbox like game, is it possible to use unity relay or smth and two different unity projects? One for the PC and one for the WebGL build? Thanks n Advance!

[languid spire]

why wold you need 2 different projects? Why not just 2 builds from the same project?

[tame cypress]

ohh that makes more sense. Thank you

what services would you suggest for me to use for this concept? Unity relay? and do i need unity lobby etc?

[burnt vapor]

Only thing I can think of is to check if any log messages of type Exception are logged

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Application-logMessageReceived.html

But you should use this instead: https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Application-logMessageReceivedThreaded.html

If Debug.unityLogger is mutable, you could even hook it directly: https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Debug-unityLogger.html

But I doubt it is

Either way there is no proper catch-all solution in Unity AFAIK

If you want to log stacktrace of a message, you can do this inside the handler of your log BTW:

System.Diagnostics.StackTrace sTrace = new();
Debug.Log(sTrace.ToString());

This works because the stacktrace points to the calling method.

[spiral narwhal]

What's the purpose of direction in a circle cast

Isn't it just a circle with the given radius from the given point

[slender nymph]

the direction the circle is cast

[slender nymph]

you're thinking of an overlap circle. a circle cast is like a raycast, where it starts at the origin and moves in direction up to max distance

[spiral narwhal]

I had expected something like this

[honest haven]

Hi can some one have a look at my saveManger please. It seems to work, but the more i save the more random destroyed items seem to come back https://gdl.space/xeliwumoji.cs

[spiral narwhal]

Where we just have an origin and a radius

[slender nymph]

again, that is an overlapcircle.

[spiral narwhal]

Ohhh it's its own thing

I see what you mean

[gusty remnant]

Probably go to advanced or general for this one.

[honest haven]

cool thanks

[wicked flare]

hellp guys i followed up a tutorial on how to do a endless side scroller, but i wanna speed up how fast the obstacle spawn, kind of gradually speeding it up, i tried something and it didint work, this is the raw code anybody has an idea ?

no i use visual studio i just used one of the links from above, idk maybe this format is better https://gdl.space/unimazacar.cpp

[slender nymph]

yeah you're meant to actually share the link, not paste it into a site then screenshot it

[wicked flare]

my mistake chief im new in this boat

[slender nymph]

also what did you even try? this code isn't even going to move the object at all because speed is never assigned to

[wicked flare]

wdym they move fine

oh wait

[slender nymph]

then some other code is moving it or you've changed it. because speed is private and not assigned anywhere in this class therefore it is always 0

[wicked flare]

fuck nevermind i fucked up my code

yea you are right they dont move XD

[wicked flare]

yea it was supposed to be public 😭

ok solved that issue, how about the speed up?

i asked chat gpt but it wouldnt go as smooth as intented

[slender nymph]

i mean, you just need to increase the value of speed over time

unless you mean how fast these objects are spawned, in which case you need to show the code where that happens

[wicked flare]

no, not how fast they spawn, it just how fast they move gimme a sec and ill repost it

[slender nymph]

then yeah, just increase the value of speed over time. that's literally all you have to do

but also i do want to point out that your original question literally said " i wanna speed up how fast the obstacle spawn"

[wicked flare]

https://gdl.space/akihideqaf.cpp hows this

[wicked flare]

ah mb

so the speed increase rate is at 0.1 and initial speed at 5 and thats what im getting from currentSpeed

[slender nymph]

so you want to increase the speed by 0.1 per second?

also keep in mind your log is printing for each of these objects in the scene

[wicked flare]

as a test yes but i think it just moves the obstacles randomly

i bumbed up the increase rate to 1.2 and they move weird hold up

yea the green cubes now move on their own i feel like to the right or something like that

that shouldnt be the case, i just want them to go faster to the left

kinda like how subway surfers increases the game speed

[slender nymph]

why don't you show what is actually happening

and the only way your code could move them to the right is if they are rotated so that their X axis points toward the left

[wicked flare]

so thats how they move before the increase speed code

and thats with

[slender nymph]

let me guess, this whole time you wanted them all to be the same speed and increase all at the same time?

[wicked flare]

yes 🙂

[slender nymph]

then say that. because you gave no indication that was the end goal

[wicked flare]

mb, i know i dont have the best english and my explanation can be vague

so now that you know that, how should i change the code

[slender nymph]

you will want something else managing their speed so that it can manage all of their speed at the same time. you could probably make the speed variable static, and have whatever is spawning them do the increase over time

[wicked flare]

i guess i ll sound dumb but its my first time going with unity and i have no clue what you said 🙂

oh well time to search it up, thanks

[fierce geode]

Anyone have a good video on understanding Quaternions?

[buoyant schooner]

How would I be able to store specific data on a tile in unity?

[wintry quarry]

Depends are you trying to understand the underlying math or just how to work with them?

You don't need to know the math to use them effectively

[fierce geode]

Underlying math, just to be safe.

[rich egret]

Room list is not called, does anyone know why?
https://gdl.space/dicevokica.cpp

[wintry quarry]

There's no safety in understanding the math

[burnt vapor]

What am I supposed to look at? What doesn't work of all this code?

[fierce geode]

there is no safety in understanding quaternions

[wintry quarry]

Can you be more specific?

[wintry quarry]

To effectively use Quaternions in Unity all you need to know is they are a data type that represents a rotation, and they can be created and combined with the various functions in the docs

[rich egret]

I'm trying to activate the function with a button, but it's impossible because it's just not called for some reason

[wintry quarry]

Which function

[rich egret]

OnRoomListUpdate

[burnt vapor]

So what calls this? A button in your scene?

[rich egret]

The function OnRoomListUpdate, for some reason...

[burnt vapor]

I don't see anything calling this function

[rich egret]

You know, I put the script on the object and then run it through a button

[burnt vapor]

But you should not be able to assign a button to this considering the method takes parameters

[wintry quarry]

Show how you set that up

[burnt vapor]

Please show the button then

[wintry quarry]

Looks like a Pun behavior override

When do the docs say it should run

[burnt vapor]

Ugh

Well, never used that so idk then 🤷‍♂️

[fierce geode]

Also is there any reason for why Unity Editor shows different values for rotations and not just euler angles?

[rich egret]

As you can see, the function does not appear there

[burnt vapor]

Your question was why the method was not being called, not why you are not able to assign it

Please be more clear in your question next time

[wintry quarry]

Yes we already explained why

[burnt vapor]

You can't assign it because your method must not take parameters

[rich egret]

Okay, so how am I supposed to get the function to call?

[burnt vapor]

You don't pass parameterssssss

[rich egret]

okkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

[burnt vapor]

How is it supposed to know those?

Instead get the list in the method instead

Some things do accept parameters but not this one

[short hazel]

And seeing the name of the method "On..." and the fact that it's an override, you're probably not supposed to call it yourself

Might be some event handler automatically executed by the library

[wintry quarry]

Absolutely ^

[fierce geode]

honestly think manipulating the raw values of rotation makes more sense to my small brain than using the gimbal rotation thingy in the scene view. Like using the rotation ball is fine until you're values arent zero on more than one axis, then even rotating on one axis using the sphere affects the rest and my brain just shuts down 💀

[short hazel]

That's because your tool isn't in local space mode, if the individual circles don't take the rotation of your object
At the top of the scene view are buttons that allow you to switch between modes, pivot / center + local /world

[wintry quarry]

That has nothing to do with Quaternions though.

[west sonnet]

Is it possible to Assign references to scripts that are in prefabs so I don't have to assign them everytime I want to use a prefab?

My prefabs have scripts on them, but all the references are 'none'

[analog thorn]

So ... I'm a beginner unity user and not sure if this is the correct channel to ask this question. I made a game with a bunch of friends for a game jam where I just designed levels.

The game jam is over now and my friends have abandoned this project. I want to try to debug the game, but I have no idea where to start. Is there a tool that can help me look through the whole project and tell me where and how certain codes function so I can debug it?

[short hazel]

As long as the thing you wish to reference is in the same prefab, or in your Assets, you'll be able to reference it.

[west sonnet]

I'm trying to reference another script but it's not allowing me to drag it into the slot in the inspector

[short hazel]

You cannot reference things from scenes into prefabs because there is no certainty that the prefab will exist in said scene.

[swift crag]

Yes, this is just how rotations work. It's because the rotation is relative to your parent.

[short hazel]

Then what you're trying to drag is not compatible.
If you're dragging a script directly, then the variable type doesn't match the component type you're trying to reference.
If you're dragging an object then it might not have the script attached.

[swift crag]

They aren't relative to your own local axes

(how would that work, anyway? your rotation determines which way your axes point!)

I prefer to deal with the actual angles as little as possible.

For example, to make an object rotate around a certain axis, I use Quaternion.AngleAxis

transform.rotation *= Quaternion.AngleAxis(90 * Time.deltaTime, Vector3.right);

in Update, this makes you spin around the world X axis at 90 degrees per second

[west sonnet]

This is what I'm trying to drag in. A script

[swift crag]

Perhaps you are trying to reference a scene object from a prefab, as SPR2 just asked about

also, are you literally trying to drag a script asset in?

[west sonnet]

Yes?

[swift crag]

this is a script asset, for exmaple

[west sonnet]

Oh no

[swift crag]

this is a MonoScript. it's how the editor represents a script file

on the other hand, this is an instance of EllipsoidTest (attached to a game object)

[west sonnet]

Ooooooh wait, I'm trying to drag the player object in 🤦🏻‍♂️

[swift crag]

Okay, so you're not doing that

[swift crag]

But it sounds like you are trying to drag in a scene object.

[west sonnet]

Yeah

I am

[short hazel]

Can't do that for the reasons mentioned earlier

You'll have to pass it via the code upon instantiating it

[swift crag]

https://unity.huh.how/references/prefabs-referencing-components

super common situation

[late burrow]

if i split by string and that string is at the end of string do i get array of one or two

[short hazel]

Two, unless the StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries argument is passed to the method.

[raven zenith]

Im very new to unity and im following this tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MDMNIGtbiz8&list=PLJ96i5RTnDvs6rrbDvRHVA3VyZGLnvIN9. But im trying to do it in 2D. In the tutorial theyre using raycasting but from what i have read that doesn't work on sprites / 2D stuff. How can you change this code: https://gdl.space/kobaworetu.cs so it works in 2D?

[swift crag]

Unity has separate 3D and 2D physics systems.

[rich adder]

in terms of physics unity has 2D version of everything in 3D

since they are seperate engines (Box2D vs Physx)

[languid spire]

Physics does work on '2D stuff'. Basically what you must do is find ALL of the used physics API/s components and change them to their 2D equivalents

[swift crag]

note that raycasts never work on sprites -- 2D raycasts hit 2D colliders.

[gaunt ice]

any physics components suffix with "2D" then you need to use methods under Physics2D to work with them

[raven zenith]

If i add a Box collider to someting will the raycast still hit the Sprite and get no result?

[rich adder]

box collider is a 3d collider

use the box2d

Physics2D.Raycast + Collider2D is all you need

[swift crag]

again, raycasts will never hit a sprite renderer

a 3D raycast hits 3D colliders, and a 2D raycast hits 2D colliders

that's it.

[languid spire]

#💻┃code-beginner message

[raven zenith]

okay ill try that

I think i explaind the wrong thing. How do i get a sprite to move to a 2D Box collider i clicked with my mouse?

[rich adder]

[SerializeField] Transform theThing
theThing.position =
raycasthit.point or raycasthit.collider.transform.position

sprites themselves don't do any moving, its the Transform component that determines the position of your objects

[random cave]

rigidbody.AddForceAtPosition(force * variation * up, hit.point); rigidbody.AddForceAtPosition(force * variation * -transform.forward * 0.40f, hit.point);

How do I combine these into one

-transform.forward is pitch and up is roll

I want both of these

Vector3 up = -rigidbody.velocity.normalized;

[wintry quarry]

Well you don't really need to but

Just add the vectors

Also typically a drag force would be applied in the opposite direction of motion

Aka -velocity

[random cave]

Wdym add the vectors

They both work wonderfully I just want them both lol

Its making my bomb like drop rotating around before stabilizing

[wintry quarry]

Add.
+

[random cave]

Wait literally

[wintry quarry]

But what you're doing right now adds them anyway

[random cave]

Nah I cant have both

One overlaps the other

[wintry quarry]

I don't understand what you're asking

You say you want both but you don't want both

Pick one

Not sure what you mean by overlapping too

[random cave]

oK SO

If I // the *up one

The bomb drops, rotates to face straight down

[wintry quarry]

Neither of these makes sense to me

[random cave]

One rotates on the z and one rotates on x

I want to rotate BOTH

If I add both of these lines to code only one works

[wintry quarry]

You would want a force:

• applied at the tail
• in the direction opposite velocity (-velocity)
• proportional to the magnitude of the velocity

That's all

[random cave]

Idk

[wintry quarry]

There's no reason you would need a separate force for each axis or something

[random cave]

Nah like

[wintry quarry]

Not true, AddForce is additive

All forces will be applied

[random cave]

I just added them but it only rolls

Dont rotate to face down

Rolls as in spins on itself

[wintry quarry]

Well like I said neither one makes sense.

The first one is using the rotation of the object, which doesn't matter
The second one is normalizing the velocity, which means it's not proportional to the velocity.

And for both you're applying them at "hit.point" which is... Where?

Is there a Raycast involved or something? Why?

[random cave]

Yeah

[wintry quarry]

This is my recommendation and matches how real life works

[random cave]

I kinda ripped this code of the internet

And adjusted how it roles

This seems too complicated for me and the effects of this is quite amazing

Wait

I can just add constant spin force

Im too stupid for this lol 😭

[random cave]

Quick question what does Vector3.Reflect exactly do

[spiral narwhal]

            var rotation = rectTransform.rotation;
            rotation = new(rotation.x, rotation.y, Random.Range(-90, 90), rotation.w);
            rectTransform.rotation = rotation;

            Debug.Log(rotation);
            Debug.Log(rectTransform.rotation);

huh? Why are the values different

[keen dew]

You're passing nonsensical values to a quaternion so it "fixes" it in the transform

[spiral narwhal]

Huh

[keen dew]

you should probably use rectTransform.eulerAngles instead

[spiral narwhal]

I just want to change the z rotation

[keen dew]

Yes, the z rotation of Euler angles. It's not the same as the z component of a quaternion

[languid spire]

what makes you think this would work?
rotation = new(rotation.x, rotation.y, Random.Range(-90, 90), rotation.w);
please refer to the docs

[eternal needle]

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Vector3.Reflect.html
The docs tell you exactly what it does

[random cave]

OH right the docs sorry i forgot

[spiral narwhal]

Cheers this did the trick

            var rotation = rectTransform.eulerAngles;
            rotation = new(rotation.x, rotation.y, Random.Range(-90, 90));
            rectTransform.eulerAngles = rotation;

[languid spire]

This is not a good idea. You have no idea what x and y are and how changing z will affect the rotation

[random cave]

Now I want to predict where my bomb will land can anybody help? it uses an air resistance script that randomizes where it drops everytime

[spiral narwhal]

What do you mean? It works

[languid spire]

but does it work if you call it twice?

[spiral narwhal]

I don't need to

[languid spire]

well it will only work if your initial rotation is 0,0,0

[spiral narwhal]

Mmm, I just tested it and it still works even the second time

So I don't know what you mean haha

[languid spire]

The quirks of Quaternion math. The Vector3 you put into a Quaternion will not be the same Vector3 when you read it again

[spiral narwhal]

The randomness isn't too bad, quite the contrary

[languid spire]

Generally the rule of thumb is, you start work on a game on one LTS version on Unity and you stick with it unless something really important means an update is better than stability

[swift crag]

The LTS will receive patch releases for much longer than other releases.

This means that you won't have to move to a different major version for a long time

[slender nymph]

to add on to that: LTS releases typically receive updates for about 2 years. tech stream versions only receive patches until the next version comes out. for example 2021.3 which is an LTS is still receiving patches, but 2023.2, the previous tech stream, is not

[swift crag]

note that the LTS isn't necessarily less buggy than a non-LTS release.

mostly in the early life of the LTS

LTS means long term support. That's all.

[velvet sierra]

Hello, I'm kinda new at game development. I have enemy spwaner in my game. I did manage to handle it, but enemies(slimes) doesn't go where my player current location. Instead they go player spawn location(middle of screen). I couldn't figure it out can you guys help me?
EnemySpawner code:

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
using Random=UnityEngine.Random;

public class SlimeSpawner : MonoBehaviour
{
    public GameObject Slime;

    public float targetTime;

    // Start is called before the first frame update
    void Start()
    {

    }

    void FixedUpdate()
    {
        targetTime -= Time.fixedDeltaTime;
    }

    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update()
    {
        if (targetTime <= 0.0f)
        {
            TimerEnd();
        }
        if (targetTime < 0.0f)
        {
            TimerRestart();
        }
    }

    void TimerEnd()
    {
        var position =new Vector2 (Random.Range(-5f, 5f), Random.Range(-5f, 5f));
        Instantiate(Slime, position, Quaternion.identity);
    }

    void TimerRestart()
    {
        targetTime = 2;
    }


}```

Slime Code(moment, die etc):

using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Security.Cryptography;
using Unity.VisualScripting;
using UnityEditor.Experimental.GraphView;
using UnityEngine;

public class Slime : MonoBehaviour
{   

    [SerializeField]
    private GameObject player;

    [SerializeField]
    private float speed ;

    private float distance;

    public int health = 40;

    public Animator anim;

    [SerializeField]
    private Collider2D Collider;

    void Awake()
    {
        speed = Random.Range(0.1f, 1.5f);
    }

    public void takeDamage( int damage)
    {
        health -= damage;

        if (health <= 0)
        {
            die();
            
        }
    }

    void die()
    {
        Collider.enabled = false;
        speed = 0;
        Destroy(gameObject, 1.2f);
        anim.SetBool("dead", true);
    }

    void Update()
    {
        move();


    }
    void move()
    {
        //check te distance between slime and player
        distance = Vector2.Distance(transform.position, player.transform.position);
        Vector2 direction = player.transform.position - transform.position;

        transform.position = Vector2.MoveTowards(this.transform.position, player.transform.position, speed * Time.deltaTime);

        
    }

}

[wintry quarry]

Well you have no way of the slimes getting a reference to the player. The spawner should give the slime a reference to the player

[velvet sierra]

Like GetComponent?

in the spawner script for player?

[swift crag]

no, you should just assign the reference in the inspector

https://unity.huh.how/references/prefabs-referencing-components

[swift crag]

you are referencing the player prefab right now

that has nothing to do with the instance of the player in the scene

give the slime spawner a field that can reference the player (the actual player in the scene)

[velvet sierra]

Thanks! i'll try

[swift crag]

The spawner can then pass that reference to the slimes it creates

[glad rune]

it doesnt get the info because its not a monobehaviour

what do

its a class

json

[swift crag]

well, yes, GetComponent only works for components

where does this data actually exist?

[glad rune]

in another script

and i did put the script on a componet with the tag

[willow scroll]

Wait, what?

[glad rune]

its a class with json information in another script

[willow scroll]

You're talking about the class which code you've sent?

[glad rune]

the info is what i want to get, the info is a class in another script

[willow scroll]

Well, it's an object

If you're trying to find an object with the tag

So there should be no problem in accessing its component

[languid spire]

there must be a monobehaviour that uses that data, so that is the component you need to get

[short hazel]

If the skin info is accessible from the GameLogic class, then you need to access it with that.
Like logic.SkinInfo taking your code as an example

[glad rune]

this is the script

i chanfge it so it finds SkinInfo

but i need to get the info from SkinInf of the skin

[languid spire]

So, GetComponent<SkinInfo>().info

[timber tide]

I find it strange that there just isn't a boolean on transform components to disable rotational inheritance

[willow scroll]

Why do you even have 2 classes called the same, but with no last letter in the 2nd one?

Can't you come up with a more original name?

Like SkinData?

[glad rune]

no

im not original

[timber tide]

Do people usually just use the rotational constraint class and target some singleton in the scene? There's got to be a better way than that

[willow scroll]

Well, I have given you a really original example already

SkinInfo is a Component, as MonoBehaviour : Behaviour : Component : Object. SkinInf isn't.

[languid spire]

just dont parent if you dont want the child to inherit the attributes of the parent

[magic panther]

How would I make an arcade machine or a tv? Is it possible to render a 2d scene in another 3d scene or something to get that effect?

[languid spire]

easiest way is a RenderTexture

[magic panther]

sounds like a texture thing. I need an interactive 2d scene in a 3d one

[timber tide]

But there's plenty of situations where you just need that positional inheritance, more so than the rotation.

[languid spire]

you should really check before making assumptions. they are interactive because they show what a camera sees

[rotund forum]

Quick question I'm hoping someone can answer. If I use callback context events with the new input system to set variables like the following:

_playerControls.PlayerMovement.Movement.performed += i => _movementInput = i.ReadValue<Vector2>();

Does it make any sense to have any input assignments run in Update() as well? I've seen this done in a tutorial I was watching so I just want to double check in case I'm missing something. From my understanding of the flow of how Unity updates stuff the event inputs will run before Update() anyways so this would be redundant(?)

[sullen zealot]

hello! im trying to make a TextMeshPro component animate counting from 0 to a value score during a 3 seconds period. can someone plz help me with this cuz i dont know how to do it

[swift crag]

I prefer to read continuous things in Update, rather than responding to callbacks like that

but they'll be pretty much equivalent, yes

[swift crag]

importantly, I'm not sure how this'll behave when the input goes back to zero

do you get one last performed callback, or is it a canceled callback?

[glad rune]

says that Object reference is not set to an instance of an object (info.JsonEquipSkin)

what else am i supposed to reference except info

[swift crag]

well, presumably, blueButton

since you're using that

oh, on the next line!

that means that Info is null

perhaps you have multiple instances of whatever this component is

and one of them is missing a reference

[rotund forum]

Well, the way the movement is set up is as pass through. I'm only using .performed and it's giving me values whenever there is change to the movement controls. So if it changes to 0 it'll do an event changing it to 0. For other actions like "jump" I am using .performed and .cancelled to set a boolean.

Hopefully that answers your question. I'm still pretty new to all of this so my understanding is limited.

[rotund forum]

I see. Thank you for your insight.

[hollow dawn]

how do I fix this?

[summer stump]

You need to actually provide some information to work with. And describe the issue with words
I assume you mean how the player jumps backwards? Then show the movement code

[hollow dawn]

nevermind I fixed it >:)

[rotund forum]

📸

[glad rune]

do i need to switch the AnimatorControler or AnimatorOverrideControler. Im switching between them to change the skin of a 2d sprite

[abstract finch]

public RoomTile[][] TileSections { get; private set; }
How do I get the middle index of the second part of the array?
int middleIndex = TileSections [TileSections .Length - 1][???];

nvm I think I got it.

[languid spire]

In a jagged array each nested part of the array can have a different length. but you shoud be using the .GetLength method

[abstract finch]

whats the advantage of using GetLength?

[zenith cypress]

It doesn't apply to your use-case, as jagged arrays are only one dimension.

[strong wren]

does anyone know why my variables dont save across scenes?

using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;

public class RandomVariables : MonoBehaviour
{
    public float Volume;
    public float Fov;
    public float Sens;
}

public class MouseLook : MonoBehaviour
{
    public RandomVariables RV;
    public AudioMixer VolumeMixer;
    void Update()
    {
        PlayerLook();
        Camera.fieldOfView = RV.Fov;
        VolumeMixer.SetFloat("Volume", RV.Volume);
    }
    public void PlayerLook()
    {
        float mouseX = Input.GetAxis("Mouse X") * RV.Sens * Time.deltaTime;
        float mouseY = Input.GetAxis("Mouse Y") * RV.Sens * Time.deltaTime;

this is the only code that uses those Variables

[wintry quarry]

You aren't doing anything that would make that happen

[strong wren]

idk i tought itl just get stored

[wintry quarry]

When you load a new scene, all the GameObjects in the old scene get destroyed

[strong wren]

oh

how can i save it?

pls dont tell me its hard

[wintry quarry]

BTW your mouse look code is wrong, you should not be multiplying deltaTime into mouse input. It's already framerate independent

[strong wren]

i mean it is working

[wintry quarry]

It's easy for me. Harder for a beginner who doesn't understand things well

[strong wren]

and it isnt the whole code

[strong wren]

i mean how hard is it?

[wintry quarry]

Working but it will be very weird and jittery

[wintry quarry]

Very easy

[strong wren]

like how many lines?

cause people say Adding a save function to ur game is easy but its like 800 lines of code

[wintry quarry]

I don't know how to answer that

It depends on your game

[strong wren]

i just need 3 variables

[timber tide]

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Object.DontDestroyOnLoad.html

won't save session data though but you can carry your mono across scenes with this

[noble leaf]

Are UI elements kinda inefficient or is some specific setting on them that makes them that way? If I spawn in 2000 resource prefabs around the game world it has 0 effect on FPS but if I put a healthbar on them which is a canvas element with images the FPS completely tanks. Is the way to deal with this just enabling the healthbars close to the player or is there a way to make them more efficient?

[timber tide]

canvas per healthbar is a meme if you are making tons

[eager wolf]

I was scrolling through options under Edit -> Project Settings (trying to find script execution order) and idk what I did, but all my text mesh pro broke and it somehow also broke my scene's lighting. Any clue as to what might have happened?

I didn't check any boxes or changed anything. Although I was using the Down key to select the next tab (in the project settings) so maybe it did something? Idk

[timber tide]

https://www.stevestreeting.com/2019/02/22/enemy-health-bars-in-1-draw-call-in-unity/
Here's how I do it if you do want that performance

[noble leaf]

ty ill check it out

[timber tide]

The material property block section is a built-in pipeline feature, so you can ignore that if you're using URP and set the fill directly. You want to make sure you object pool your enemies and units this way too because destroying materials do not cleanup so easily.

[eager wolf]

could this be the issue?

damn, idk how that got turned off, thanks

[swift crag]

Did you install URP into this project after creating it?

[sterile plover]

i changed value in Cinemachine default input system how can i get it back ???

[wintry quarry]

what do you mean?

[sterile plover]

cinemachine give a input provider and i modified the value of the input like it changed it to button instead of value in the input system then i didnt know how to revert it back and deleted it ......

and now i dont know how i can get the input back

[deft grail]

just delete the cinemachine component and create it again surely? should work

[wintry quarry]

It's just a reference to whatever input action you want

Put whatever actions you want there

[sterile plover]

but i dont know how it works

[wintry quarry]

how what works

[sterile plover]

the input thing

[sterile plover]

idk the original inputs

[wintry quarry]

Does it matter

Make whatever you want

[sterile plover]

yes ?? so it works

[wintry quarry]

just reset the component, no?

[sterile plover]

doesnt work

like i know how to make a new input but i dont know which one where used

[wintry quarry]

well you said you deleted it right

why did you do that

I presume you mean in the input action asset

[astral falcon]

Reimport the samples and check the input asset Id suggest

[wintry quarry]

I didn't think there was a default one to be honest

So why not just ctrlZ a bunch

Otherwise just remake it

[sterile plover]

i dont even know i changed some value tried to revert it back and couldnt find the orignal input used for the mouse for i deleted it

[sterile plover]

ctyrl-z didnt work on input system :(

[wintry quarry]

If you just want mouse input

just make a new action bound to the mouse

and use that

[sterile plover]

yes but i dont know what input iqs used for the mouse

it was written Den or something like that on the path thing

but i cant find it anywhere

[wintry quarry]

Make an action:
Action Type: Value
Control Type: Vector2

Bind it to Mouse Delta

no idea what you mean by "Den"

[sterile plover]

it was Delta not Den

where do i find Delta ?????

[astral falcon]

Missed opportunity to actually learn what the scripts are doing you gonna use 😉

[wintry quarry]

Follow these instructions

[sterile plover]

damn the only thing that was missing was Vector2.....

[ashen badge]

Please keep in mind that I'm a complete newbie to Unity and C#. Started ~4 days ago

Purpose of the script: I was attempting to make it so that if the player steers too far right (>70), or too far left (<-70), the camera wouldn't follow their movements. This was in order for the player's vehicle and the road to stay viewable, and not go off camera.

The Issue: Although the script works as intended when the player's vehicle rotates to the right (Y axis), it doesn't move at all when the vehicle rotates to the left, which is a major issue.

The Script:

using UnityEngine;

public class CameraFollow : MonoBehaviour
{
    public Transform player;
    public Vector3 offset;
    void Update()
    {
        transform.position = player.position + offset;
        if(player.rotation.eulerAngles.y < 90 && player.rotation.eulerAngles.y > -90){
            transform.rotation = player.rotation * Quaternion.Euler(15, 0, 0);
        }
    }
}

Video showcasing the problem:

And yes, I know that 70 degrees is still not a good angle as the majority of the vehicle still gets offscreen, I will mess around and change that later on.

[wintry quarry]

Extracting and comparing euler angles from a Transform is generally fraught with pitfalls. For one, euler angles are not unique, and you can't really glean much useful information just by looking at a single component in isolation.

It's much better to explicitly sample the angle of the object around a particular axis, rather than trying to glean such information from the euler angles.

One simple way in this case is to simply compare the angle of the player object's forward direction with the "expected" direction.

In this case you want to basically limit the amount your camera will roatate along with the player. I suggest this simpler approach:

// rotate a max of 70 degrees away from "forward"
float maxAngle = 70f;

// Rotate the same way as the player, up to the max
Quaternion camRotation = Quaternion.RotateTowards(Quaternion.identity, player.rotation, maxAngle);
transform.rotation = camRotation;```

Missing from your explanation here though is some context about what style of game this is, what the desired camera shot is, what kind of movement your player is limited to, etc..

all of which may modify the advice here..

[ashen badge]

Thank you! It works and functions exactly the way I wanted it to. I don't really know what the RotateTowards method is yet though so I am gonna have to look that up and understand how it works first.

[wintry quarry]

(btw when sharing videos use mp4 as it willl embed in discord properly)

Imagine starting at rotation A and rotating towards rotation B until you either reach B or the maximum number of degrees.

Where you end is the result of the function

[ashen badge]

And the maximum number of degrees is the 3rd parameter?

[finite hornet]

what are some must do’s as a beginner in unity I just made my own version of flappy bird

[summer stump]

No must-do's but:
Brickbreaker,
Battleship,
Roll a ball
2d and then 3d platformers

[tepid swan]

I have no idea how to use unity

I’ve had it for 2 years but never learned it

[finite hornet]

are these also youtube tutorials or should I try and wing it

[summer stump]

I'm sure there are tutorials. I recommend, if you are going to use them, only use tutorials for inspiration, not to actually copy

[summer stump]

!learn 👍

[eternal falcon]

:teacher: Unity Learn ↗

It can be tough, but is very rewarding and you certainly learn better

That is a tough one haha. But a lot of fun. Best of luck!

[unkempt carbon]

hi guys questions about scriptable objects. Do I instantiate the scriptable object, or the prefab gameobject its going onto?

[unkempt carbon]

never mind im stupid

[short marsh]

`using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;

public class Collision : MonoBehaviour
{

void OnCollisionEnter2D(Collision2D other)
{
    Debug.Log("Ouch");
}

 void OnTriggerEnter2D(Collider2D other)
{
    Debug.Log(other.tag) //returns Untagged
    if (other.CompareTag("Package"))
    {
        Debug.Log("Picked Up");
    }
}

}
`

i have just started coding in unity and i ran into this issue. i have tagged the game object as "Package" but unity keeps identifying it as Untagged for some reason? How do i fix this

[cunning narwhal]

Is the standard git workflow for a new project to create the git repo on the site, clone it to anywhere on your system, create the unity project somewhere else, close unity, move the unity project INTO the cloned repo folder, then push?

[short marsh]

yoo beeftips can u help me out with my question?

[cunning narwhal]

I'm really new as well so I cant help you woth that, sorry. I can guess that the other param object doesnt have a tag assigned though if I had to guess

[short marsh]

oh alright, thank you regardless. what's the param object? ive only started coding today

[summer stump]

You are colliding with something else then. Log the name of the game object as well

[short marsh]

but i only have one collider component

[summer stump]

That is not how I do it, no

[cunning narwhal]

where it says OnTriggerEnter2D(Collider2D other), Collider2D other is your parameter object. Collider2D is its type and other is the name given used in the method. When the trigger happens on whatever this script is attached to it looks at the object it triggers on and see if it has a collider2d and passes that as the object there as an argument

[summer stump]

Then how could you get the callback? It requires one on each colliding object

[short marsh]

2 actually (counting the ridig body)

[short marsh]

ohhh alright i see what you mean

[short marsh]

yea i meant 2 including the rigid body as well

one is a trigger the other is a collider and and rigid body

[cunning narwhal]

How do you do it?

[summer stump]

Git init my unity project folder and publish then push it

No need to move anything

[short marsh]

i logged the name, it is colliding in the desired object

[summer stump]

Show the inspector for that object

And the console with the logs

[summer stump]

Inspector for the object you want to be colliding with.

I guess "caw"?

[short marsh]

no caw is the rigid body

wait

oh so its reading caw's tag?

[cunning narwhal]

yeah thats what you have written "Debug.Log(other.tag)"

[summer stump]

Collision is the script receiving the callback, right? So "other" is the other object involved in the collision. Whatever is NOT "person"

[summer stump]

Caw is untagged

There ya go 🤷‍♂️

[short marsh]

but like caw is not set on isTrigger

[summer stump]

Irrelevant

OnTriggerEnter is sent to both objects involved in the collision

[short marsh]

ohhh

[summer stump]

The one you have the script attached to is NOT ever "other"

The parameter you receive is the other object, because it of course has access to itself already

[short marsh]

ohh alright so what parameter do i use for person?

[summer stump]

Nothing

it of course has access to itself already

The script is attached to person, why even check if it is person.

Of course it is, that won't change

[short marsh]

how would this code change if i need it to recognise the tag on person instead of "other"

[summer stump]

There would never be a reason to do that

The script is ON person.

You can check your own objects tag I guess though. gameObject.CompareTag

[analog dove]

Look up 'CompareTag'

[summer stump]

They are already using that. The issue is that they thought the parameter they received was the object the script was attached to

[cunning narwhal]

"other" is just a name, a decent one letting you know that "other" is the other object entering in the triggers area. It can be literally anything with a Collider2D

[short marsh]

i get it now

sort of

[summer stump]

Did you perhaps want to have this script on Caw, and then check if it collided with player?

[short marsh]

i have 2 sprites. i need caw to collide with both of them. they have different tags. when it collides with one it should recognise which tag was on the object it collided with

[summer stump]

Otherwise, you should be checking if you hit caw...

[short marsh]

ohhh right

okay

the tutorial i was following did not put it on caw

[cunning narwhal]

but yeah if you wanna check if that thing is a person like youre intending to do something to it then do what you did with "Package" there but for "Person" if person has an assigned tag of "Person", or whatever other tagname you give it

[short marsh]

but i see it now

[summer stump]

Did it check if the other object was caw?
Otherwise, that is a bad tutorial

[short marsh]

no it was checking what caw collided with

[summer stump]

Oh, so then the script must have been on caw

[short marsh]

i paid 50$ for it 😭

[summer stump]

You paid money for a tutorial?

!learn

[eternal falcon]

:teacher: Unity Learn ↗

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

[short marsh]

yea its working now!

[short marsh]

i did indeed

[summer stump]

That's 750 hours for free, and it is better than pretty much anything else out there

[short marsh]

gyatdamn

[summer stump]

There is no reason to ever pay for lessons except in a university (for computer science, not game dev)

[short marsh]

thank u sm for this i can still refund the course

its only been 12 hours

[summer stump]

Nice

[short marsh]

thank u again uve been very helpful!!!

means a lot to me

[analog dove]

If you want to dive a bit deeper, you can also ignore certain collision with physics layers. If it makes sense in your game ( https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/LayerBasedCollision.html)

Something that is not necessary in this situation, but good to know about 🙂

[short marsh]

i will look into this, thank you so much!

[magic panther]

I saw this on some devlog just now. Where can I access this?
