[keen dew]

That's neither Unity nor C#

[analog dove]

Yup, dt = delta time. But this is off topic. Not unity

[magic panther]

didnt know

hey hey I already sent something in code general for help, mind if I send it here too?

oh dammit im dumb

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

[verbal dome]

I don't see a method called room list so which one do you mean?

[viscid needle]

hey guys I was trying to create a game in which my player is controlled by my mouse pointer and whenever I touch my enemy(who walks around randomly) I restart the level.... but the player can collect energy for taking the player to a mode in which it can destroy the enemy's.

but while I was trying to make the Energy spawn randomly once more after bieng collected once the script is giving me an error for the spawnPosition of the Energy..... Please Help.

Here is the code

please hellpp

[languid spire]

what error? The only error I see is a missing ) on your Start method, which your IDE is also telling you about

[viscid needle]

this is the error

[viscid needle]

no

[languid spire]

well that is easy to fix, move your initialization of spawnPos to the Start method

[viscid needle]

no then it gets bombarded with errors

here I will show you

[languid spire]

yes, because you are doing it wrong. I said move the initialization not the declaration

[viscid needle]

huh?

what do you mean?

[languid spire]

exactly what I said

[viscid needle]

what are the initialization and the declaration

[languid spire]

post you code correctly and I will show you

[viscid needle]

how

Ok.

public Vector3 spawnPos = new Vector3(Random.Range(-9, -4), Random.Range(9, 4), 0);

Declaration

public Vector3 spawnPos;

Initialization

spawnPos = new Vector3(Random.Range(-9, -4), Random.Range(9, 4), 0);

[viscid needle]

oh

so you telling me the initialization to the start

[languid spire]

yes

[viscid needle]

Thankyou

the issue got solved

[languid spire]

this is basic C# knowledge, you should know this

[viscid needle]

where did you learn all of it

[languid spire]

by reading the documentation

[viscid needle]

of unity?

[languid spire]

no, C#

[viscid needle]

ok thanks

you are a life saver

[wary sonnet]

can anyone help me in this please, I have setup all the things correctly but the play games auto sign in isn't working, it doesn't even print "sing in failed" in the build but it prints it in editor

using GooglePlayGames;
using GooglePlayGames.BasicApi;
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.UI;

public class PlaySignIn : MonoBehaviour
{
    [SerializeField] private Text gmailText;
    void Start()
    {
        PlayGamesPlatform.Instance.Authenticate(ProcessAuthentication);
    }

    internal void ProcessAuthentication(SignInStatus status)
    {
        if (status == SignInStatus.Success)
        {
            gmailText.text = PlayGamesPlatform.Instance.GetUserId();
        } 
        else 
        {
            gmailText.text = "Sign-in Failed";
        }
    }
}

I have correctly setup the package resources ids all correctly, as I was following a tut, I copied all the step as it is, still doesn't work for no reason

[languid spire]

is ProcessAuthentication even being called?

[wary sonnet]

yes ofc that's why it prints "Sign-in Failed" on the text but only while playing in editor

[viscid needle]

hey @languid spire my code does not show any errors but the new game object does not spawn

can you help plese

[languid spire]

but you said it's not doing that in a build so my question still stands

[wary sonnet]

could there be any problem while building game ?

[languid spire]

ofc

[wary sonnet]

maybe it doesn't get called

but why that happen on building ? like scripts don't change behaviours on building

[languid spire]

oh yes they can, script execution order being the favourite problem

[wary sonnet]

ah

lemme check it

[languid spire]

where are you calling spawnObject ?

[sleek notch]

Can someone explain me why it is not spawning?

[viscid needle]

doesnt instantiate do thar

[wary sonnet]

myabe I should put it on the bottom, so it gets the time it want ?

[languid spire]

Instantiate is within spawnObject so that would be difficult

[viscid needle]

so.. how do you do it then

[languid spire]

well you have to call spawnObject from somewhere otherwise it will not run

[viscid needle]

oh ok I understood

[languid spire]

I think you really need to spend some time on !learn. Especially the junior programmer pathway

my dependency folder only have a "editor" folder no "android" folder

it must have that

is there any way I can manually do corrects for it ?

like adding it externally ?

[wary sonnet]

maybe check testGameObject() is getting called, check if you have refrenced the objects like "text" "spawnObject", and the isspawned is not already true

[languid spire]

I was talking about this
https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/class-MonoManager.html

[sleek notch]

I'm spawning ui element

Is it problem?

[wary sonnet]

already did that

but I am talking about the dependency manager

[languid spire]

Did you make a development build and check the player log ?

[wary sonnet]

I will obviously

but I am asking bout the folder "android" where we can find some kind of file( I don't remember correctly) but with that we get a option to enable auto resolver

[wary sonnet]

Everytime I check the android and hit apply it load the domain and once compilation is completed, it instantly reloads again and uncheck that ;-; ?

sry for the ping

[tranquil hollow]

{
    [SerializeField] private float speed = 5f;
    private Rigidbody2D rigidbody2D;

    void Start()
    {
        rigidbody2D = GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>();
    }

    void FixedUpdate()
    {
        float moveInput = Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal");

        rigidbody2D.velocity = new Vector2(moveInput * speed, rigidbody2D.velocity.y);
    }
}

why my player dosent walk horizontal?

[slender nymph]

any errors in the console? do you have any constraints on the rigidbody?

[languid spire]

that's just the standard dll import inspector

[wary sonnet]

so if isn't checked for android it doesn't matter ?

[tranquil hollow]

what u mean?

[burnt vapor]

Please log rigidbody2D.velocity

[slender nymph]

i mean exactly what i asked, do you have any errors in your console or have you constrained anything on the rigidbody

[languid spire]

you have it set to only be in the Editor so it wont be included in a build

[wary sonnet]

oh ok

[languid spire]

If you are only building for Android and running in Editor, set it to Any Platform

[wary sonnet]

ok

it still reverts it

unity is high xD

[polar token]

the mouvement feels bad the physics material is 0.6 bouciness and 1 friction this is the code any fix i can add

using System;
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using Unity.VisualScripting;
using UnityEngine;

public class PlayerMouvement : MonoBehaviour
{
    private float horizontal;
    private float speed = 5f;
    private float jumpingPower = 12.5f;
    private bool grounded;

    [SerializeField] private Rigidbody2D rb;
    [SerializeField] private LayerMask groundLayer;

    void Start()
    {
        print("hello unity");
    }

    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update()
    {
        horizontal = Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal");

        if (Input.GetButtonDown("Jump") && grounded)
        {
            rb.velocity = new Vector2(rb.velocity.x, jumpingPower);
        }

        if (Input.GetButtonUp("Jump") && rb.velocity.y > 0f)
        {
            rb.velocity = new Vector2(rb.velocity.x, rb.velocity.y * 0.5f);
        }
    }

    private void FixedUpdate()
    {
        grounded = Physics2D.CircleCast(rb.position, 0.4f, Vector2.down, 0.05f, groundLayer);

        rb.velocity = new Vector2(horizontal * speed, rb.velocity.y);
    }
}

[solid mango]

What is bad about it?

[hollow dawn]

How do I make my players head and arm follow where I look? if I make them a child of the camera my arms glitch out.

[polar token]

the controll feel stiff and when stop it just stop it doeast like keep rolling a bit it's not like a ball mouvement

[solid mango]

That's because you have friction to 1

[polar token]

how much should it be

[solid mango]

Try different values but start from 0

[verbal dome]

I think high friction is fine for a rolling ball. Otherwise it would slip

[polar token]

if i do 0 the ball will not roll

[verbal dome]

Your problem is that you are directly changing rb.velocity

AddForce would probably work better for what you want

[polar token]

hmm i will try

3D Random Map Generation Problem

[wide wing]

hi guys

[sleek notch]

I have a question. How to capture if player will input other key than I want? I mean: Player must type: T but he types E and I need to capture if player input is not null

[languid spire]

AnyKey

[sleek notch]

Okay thanks

[polar token]

it's probably a stupid question why is it not jumping

if (Input.GetButtonDown("Jump") && grounded)
        {
            rb.AddForce(new Vector2(rb.velocity.x, jumpingPower));
        }

        if (Input.GetButtonUp("Jump") && rb.velocity.y > 0f)
        {
            rb.AddForce(new Vector2(rb.velocity.x, rb.velocity.y * 0.5f));
        }

[languid spire]

at a guess grounded is false or jumpingPower is zero

[slender nymph]

when using AddForce for jumping you want to also use ForceMode2D.Impulse

[polar token]

ok

[west gulch]

Hello everyone! I want to make dialogues in my game appear like this ⬇️
But I don't know how to name this method of dialogue display and therefore I can't find anything related to it... Any links to tutorials or advice on how to implement it will be appreciated!

[languid spire]

Speech Balloons?

[slender nymph]

oh one other thing to note, is that you do not want to use the current velocity inside the AddForce call unless you want to increase the velocity by that amount

[west gulch]

Yeah, speech bubbles or something like that will do, thanks! Do you know by any chance how I can make them always look towards the camera in a 3D game?

[polar token]

ok thanks and when i added ForceMode2D.impulse it worked

[languid spire]

yes, use the TMP_Text 3D world object and just rotate it to always face the camera

[west gulch]

Understood, thank you!

[slender nymph]

but also that component is attached to the child object not the root so if does any movement, then it moves the child not the root object

[teal viper]

What is the issue though? That screenshot doesn't explain anything.

[slender nymph]

the link you posted then deleted was the correct way to share code

oh my god dude, just paste the link and leave it

[lament sable]

dis ? https://hatebin.com/wpzpgqmnto

[slender nymph]

yes. now go back and read my earlier message about what is causing your issue

also don't multiply mouse input by deltaTime. mouse input is already framerate independent so multiplying it by deltaTime is just going to force you to make your sensitivity variable about 100 times larger than it needs to be, it will also cause camera controls to be stuttery and framerate dependent again

[lament sable]

it doesn't work

[slender nymph]

be more specific

[lament sable]

fox itself is moving independent from the prefab and the transform vectors

[slender nymph]

is the component still attached to the child object and not the prefab root?

[willow breach]

Hey, I have a weird issue, i defined a class and when i access it i have two instances duplicated for some reason

public static class Maps {
    public static Map mapA = new Map("map a", 1, new ElementalEncounter[] {
        new ElementalEncounter(Elementals.elementalA, 0.3f),
        new ElementalEncounter(Elementals.elementalB, 0.7f),
    });

    public static Map[] versionAMaps = { mapA };
}

  "mapName": "map a",
  "elementalEncounters": [
    {
      "elemental": {
        "idNum": 1,
        "name": "a",
        "type": 0,
        "catchRate": 1.0
      },
      "encounterChance": 0.30000001192092896
    },
    {
      "elemental": {
        "idNum": 2,
        "name": "b",
        "type": 1,
        "catchRate": 0.5
      },
      "encounterChance": 0.699999988079071
    }
  ],
  "requiredLevel": 1
}```

but when i load it i get 
```private Map currentMap = Maps.mapA;

currentMap = {
  "mapName": "map a",
  "elementalEncounters": [
    {
      "elemental": {
        "idNum": 1,
        "name": "a",
        "type": 0,
        "catchRate": 1.0
      },
      "encounterChance": 0.30000001192092896
    },
    {
      "elemental": {
        "idNum": 1,
        "name": "a",
        "type": 1,
        "catchRate": 1.0
      },
      "encounterChance": 0.699999988079071
    }
  ],
  "requiredLevel": 1
}```

[lament sable]

yes

[slender nymph]

so then based on what i've told you and the fact that you are still experiencing this issue, what do you think you need to do?

[lament sable]

quiting

[slender nymph]

show how you've set this up

[neat bay]

does anybody have a good tutorial on how to import model s from blender to unity?

ive tried alot of them and i just dcant get it to work for me

[slender nymph]

check the documentation pinned in #🔀┃art-asset-workflow
this is a code channel

[neat bay]

ok thanks

[slender nymph]

well i can clearly see that the component is still attached to this object when it should be attached to the root of the prefab. of course i didn't just want to see the mesh renderer, i don't know what gave you the idea that was all i needed to see

[neat bay]

I'm assuming "FBX Exporter" is what I'm looking for right?

[slender nymph]

why don't you ask for help in that channel if you cannot figure it out from the documentation because this is a code channel where as your question belongs in the channel i linked you to

[neat bay]

ok sorry

[slender nymph]

do not ping people into your questions #📖┃code-of-conduct

[wide wing]

no one seems to help me here why is this erver created for

[slender nymph]

if you want help the consider reading #📖┃code-of-conduct #🔎┃find-a-channel and #854851968446365696 first

[teal viper]

Did you actually ask a question? I scrolled back a bit, but only found you saying "hi".

[languid spire]

Does it not enter your head that maybe no one online on a Sunday actually knows the answer to the question you are asking?

[wide wing]

yes questions description, what i tried screenshot all of that

[lament sable]

I did that but the transform compent moves away

[slender nymph]

again, show how you've set all of this up

[slender nymph]

also the question you asked then deleted is likely answered by the documentation for whatever asset you are using

[wide wing]

yet people are are question anwering here

[wide wing]

i deleted it

[slender nymph]

this is still a child object not the root object

[teal viper]

Well, I can't see it anywhere. Can you link it?

[languid spire]

yes, because they are not asking questions about one very specific asset that almost no one has experience with

[teal viper]

Obviously no one would be able to help you if you delete your question.

[willow breach]

is there a reason why the ElementalEncounter are both Elementals.elementalA (even though the second is B) when i access Maps.mapA?

public static class Maps {
    public static Map mapA = new Map("map a", 1, new ElementalEncounter[] {
        new ElementalEncounter(Elementals.elementalA, 0.3f),
        new ElementalEncounter(Elementals.elementalB, 0.7f),
    });

    public static Map[] versionAMaps = { mapA };
}

[slender nymph]

remove the Fox component from FoxTransform. then consider looking into how to move using the rigidbody instead of the transform

[lament sable]

who do I make it a rood object

[slender nymph]

you already have a root object. you don't "make" one. it's the object that all of your child objects are attached to

literally the "root" of your prefab (or what was, but now is not, a prefab)

[wide wing]

its still there in unity talk chanel just deleted some screen shots

[teal viper]

Might need to share some more context. Clarify your question, explain what ElementalEncounter is, and share the debug steps that you took.

[wide wing]

i remind u just said we are busy on sunday we cant anwser your questions so go... what does that suppose to mean?

i am being polite to everyone here

[teal viper]

I can't see it. I scrolled like 20 min back.

[wide wing]

waht are u doing on sunday here then

[wide wing]

buddy ill tell u

[languid spire]

that is not what I said at all

[barren vapor]

You literally made that up. 60% is not true in that sentence

[willow breach]

here is the code
https://codeshare.io/8Xqr0B
basically i have a map instance with list of possible elemetals (monsters) encounters
when i init the mapA i checked and saw that the elements assigned to the ElementalEncounter are different
but when the game ran and i access Maps.mapA for some reason both elements in the 2 ElementalEncounter are the same!

[teal viper]

How are you confirming that?

[willow breach]

debugged it and saw the value

[wide wing]

#💻┃unity-talk message

im using a runner template of unity and im a beginner

[teal viper]

Where did you debug it and what value did it print? I don't see any debugs in the code.

[willow breach]

i added the values of the debug in the codeshare

[wide wing]

HE EDITED THE COMMENT

[willow breach]

oh, i just put a break point and saw the values

[teal viper]

Where?

[barren vapor]

I saw it. He didn't said "go away'"

[wide wing]

HE SAID ITS SUNDAY NO ONE IS GOING TO ANSWER THAT

[summer stump]

Please stop

[barren vapor]

yeah. But not like "Go away, do smt else with your life" or smt

[willow breach]

i dont understand your question, i debugged the code in vscode, i put a break point and saw the values on run time

[wide wing]

AND HE SAID RUDELY " DOES IT NOT ENTER YOUR HEAD"

[teal viper]

Where did you put the breakpoint?

[barren vapor]

I suggest to stop typing in capital letters

[summer stump]

Seriously, I am just reading your question to try and help, but if you continue being rude, I will not. Please stop

[teal viper]

Take a screenshot of what you see when it breaks.

[summer stump]

Are you calling setactive from the object that is not active?

[wide wing]

he was rude not me

[teal viper]

Just take screenshots of what you see in the breakpoint. Commenting in the paste bin only brings more confusion

[summer stump]

False, but ok. I guess you don't want help
Best of luck with everything. Bye

[wide wing]

read it your self

[burnt vapor]

Please stop spamming the chat and either discuss your actual issue or don't post at all

[swift crag]

if you're going to act like a child, you're going to be treated like one.

cease.

[wide wing]

so is it ok to be rude here then

[swift crag]

i can gladly try to help you with your problem

[wide wing]

thats what u are saying

[swift crag]

but i cannot help you with whatever this is

[summer stump]

Literally asked a question to help you and you ignore it to keep spamming

Are you calling setactive from the object that is not active?

[swift crag]

also, i can assure you that steve's response was not particularly rude.

[willow breach]

as you can see, when I accessed Maps.mapA the value of the element inside ElementalEncounter is suddenly the same

[swift crag]

this isn't a "you just wait until you see what REAL rudeness is" threat; it's just...an observation

[burnt vapor]

I think enough has been said, let's continue on the actual topic of this channel

[teal viper]

Where is the breakpoint in the second screenshot?

[swift crag]

indeed.

[willow breach]

its a repeting function that check if it is time for new encounter

[teal viper]

Is that in the same class as the second screenshot from before?

[willow breach]

yes

no one changed the value of currentMap and no one changed the value of Maps.mapA

[lament sable]

can I calle you ?

[teal viper]

Okay. One possibility is that mapA is modified after the first breakpoint and before the second one.

[raven kelp]

what can I use component for in scripting? I tried [SerializeField] component m but I cant do anything with the m variable

[wide wing]

DOES IT NOT ENTER YOUR HEAD THAT I WAS NOT BEING RUDE

[teal viper]

How do you know that?

[fickle plume]

!mute 718044028754460723 1d Cool off and try again tomorrow

[eternal falcon]

aly0794 was muted.

[swift crag]

you want `, not |, btw

[burnt vapor]

Ugh

[willow breach]

because nothing access it

[swift crag]

`Send inline code like this`

[raven kelp]

thank you i forgot

[swift crag]

A field of type Component can store any component

[raven kelp]

also wtf thats the blockout command

very sorry

[swift crag]

This is probably not very useful.

[raven kelp]

yes

[swift crag]

since you can only use it for things that every component can do

[fickle plume]

@wide wing Meanwhile you can check those UI tutorials I've pointed you to in the first place. Your question was about you being unable to figure out how UI asset works with scripting.

[molten dock]

@raven kelp

[raven kelp]

how do I get a specific component out of it? Im trying to get an interface directly but since public interfaces dont show up in the editor I tried a generic component and it failed because uh idk

[molten dock]

dumb

[swift crag]

ah, okay, you're trying to do interfaces

The first option is to just cast it.

[raven kelp]

oh

[swift crag]

ISomething something = theField as ISomething;

alternatively

[willow breach]

the only place that use it is
private Map currentMap = Maps.mapA;
and the only use is
Elemental e = currentMap.GetEncounter();

and this is the function:

  public Elemental GetEncounter()
    {
        List<Elemental> encounterPool = elementalEncounters
            .SelectMany(e => Enumerable.Repeat(e.elemental, (int)(e.encounterChance * 100)))
            .ToList();
        int randomIndex = UnityEngine.Random.Range(0, encounterPool.Count);
        return encounterPool[randomIndex];
    }

[swift crag]

ISomething something = (ISomething) theField;

[raven kelp]

(InterfaceName)m?

[swift crag]

I think that throws an exception if it fails

If you're going to use interfaces heavily, I'd suggest checking this out:

https://github.com/Thundernerd/Unity3D-SerializableInterface

[teal viper]

I see that it's referenced in the versionAMaps array. It could be mofified via that reference.
I'd suggest making the fields private and exposing them via a methods or properties. Then you can debug whenever they're changed or accessed.

Don't use public fields.

[swift crag]

This gives you a nicer interface. You can pick scene/asset objects that match the interface type.

[willow breach]

nothing uses that field, but ill remove it for now just to see if it effects it

[raven kelp]

is this a unity package?

[swift crag]

also, your IDE can find all references to a member by hitting shift+F12

very useful for figuring out who the heck is modifying a field

[swift crag]

It's avilable on OpenUPM, which is basically a third-party source for unity packages

You can also just download it directly as a .unitypackage

[barren vapor]

told you

[swift crag]

which are not .unitypackages

[teal viper]

That wouldn't help if there are many places and you don't know which one actually is relevant.

[swift crag]

great names, yeah 😕

[neat bay]

hey dlich just double check if youre still helping me with my problem in #🔀┃art-asset-workflow ? or are you busy atm?

[teal viper]

But yeah, you can see references.

[swift crag]

yeah

[teal viper]

Next time ping the person you're replying to.

[swift crag]

• "unity package": installed through the Package Manager, doesn't go into your Assets
• .unitypackage: dragged into the editor, goes into your Assets

[willow breach]

still happen

[swift crag]

I use OpenUPM for quite a few packages. There is a small CLI program for adding the packages to your project's manifest file.

(it just puts the package into a list for you, basically)

[raven kelp]

Is making everything serializable a good idea when making a game? At the moment I'm making an interface for a physics controller, so I can quickly swap out the controller scripts if I need to move an object differently. The main controller needs the interface reference so it can use any script

[west gulch]

If I’m going to use new input system, will my character be able to rotate using keyboard input as well?

[teal viper]

Another possible cause, though a bit skeptical, is that you're assigning it in the field initializer and the static field is also initialized in the initializer. Honestly, this whole setup is a bit fishy.

[willow breach]

haha maybe, im new to c#
btw i added readonly to the mapA and it still happened.. so i guess nothing changes it
this is so bizzare...
i come from 10 years of js/ts. the reference handling here is so weird to me...

[summer stump]

Yes

[west gulch]

Thanks

[swift crag]

You should serialize things that should be saved in scenes and prefabs.

[willow breach]

is it ok if ill stream it for you for a sec?

[teal viper]

Here's one advice: don't make things complicated. Only use code that you're 100% sure about. I have more than 5 years of experience with C#, but I'd never use a setup like you have, because I'm not sure in what order the things are initialized. Sure, logically thinking the static field should be initialized when it's accessed and if it wasn't it would just be null, but with unity serialization added to the mix, you never know.

[teal viper]

Nah, sorry.
Here's what you should do to fix/debug the issue: make all the fields private(not readonly). Initialize them in constructors or Monobehaviour init methods, like Awake. Print everywhere you access or modify something to see the order of execution in the console.

[willow breach]

i didnt think it was complicated ): i dont have a db here so i need to "create" the data and store it so i can use it, what else is there to do?

[teal viper]

In game engines, you typically "create" data in the editor ui. Not via code. Unless it's something procedural.

hardcoding your data is a terrible idea in most cases.

[willow breach]

and if possible, i dont wont just to fix it, i want to understand what happened there

[raven kelp]

public Component a;  //Interface in editor
public ISomething j;

void Start()
{
    j = a as ISomething ;  //does nothing for some reason
    //if I try "j = (ISomething) a" it throws a cast error
}
void FixedUpdate()
{
  j.something();  //fails here 
}```

[willow breach]

nothing is accessing this field and manipulating it, i even set it to readonly and this issue still happens

[teal viper]

Well, you'll need to debug it thoroughly to understand that. Maybe if you share the project I can look at it on my end.

[swift crag]

that means whatever you stored in a cannot be assigned to ISomething

the "as" syntax silently produces a null if it doesn't work

[burnt vapor]

In c#, casting using as can change the variable to null if casting failed. If you use direct casting with (Type), it will throw an exception if the cast fails.

The best way of checking a type is with pattern matching

[raven kelp]

Oh so its more of a failsafe. It failsafed and then my code failed

[burnt vapor]

if (a is ISomething)
{
  var something = (ISomething)a;
}

[swift crag]

even better

if (a is ISomething something) {
  ...
}

[burnt vapor]

If that works in Unity, sure

But it is so massively behind that it probably doesn't

[swift crag]

I use it all the time

so I hope it works!

[burnt vapor]

Then it's caught up finally

[swift crag]

I can't figure out when is was introduced (when looking at its doc page), so it has to be pretty old

[burnt vapor]

I meant the direct assignment in the statement itself

That one is fairly new

[swift crag]

oh yeah, that's relatively new (and supported, yeah)

[willow breach]

inetesting, but i cant do it for large amounts, only for some variables
i can define tens of objects and then create tens of maps using those objects

[swift crag]

similar to

if (dict.TryGetValue(key, out var thingy))

[willow breach]

aright ill push it and make it public

[slender nymph]

it works in 2021+, not sure about earlier versions

[rich adder]

slowly we getting there 😭
I want me some file scoped namespaces

[teal viper]

Just note that I'm going to sleep soon, so if you can't get it done in a few minutes, you should either wait for someone else to help you or for me to look at it tomorrow when I have time.

[willow breach]

sending you in dm

[raven kelp]

I think I need to stop coding at 1am, my life would be much easier

[burnt vapor]

A lot of modern features can be polyfilled using various libraries so this might also be possible

Though this isn't directly a type or method so maybe it doesn't

[swift crag]

I want those.

[raven kelp]

I dont think a is ISomething. I don't know what I screwed up. Firstly, the interface is in the same gameObject as the controller script, so I dragged the interface directly into the serialized component. The interface I am referencing is also a monobehaviour. I tried

[rich adder]

🤞 seriously. hate my code being so intented for using namespaces..

[swift crag]

"the interface is in the same game object"?

oh, the component with the interface

[burnt vapor]

Try using this library for example https://github.com/SimonCropp/Polyfill

[swift crag]

You are probably just referencing the wrong thing.

[rich adder]

interesting. Gonna check this out. Just wish we didn't have to use external libraries for something already part of .net

[raven kelp]

A in New Controller is my component variable. Weird Move is part of the interface class and also apart of the monobehaviour class

[swift crag]

show me the definition for WeirdMove

[raven kelp]

Like just this?

[rich adder]

that font lol

[swift crag]

looks like a Japanese/Chinese/etc. font

[swift crag]

now show me the code where you try to cast to the interface type

[rich adder]

can interface even be a component ?

[swift crag]

no, but the reverse is possible

well

[raven kelp]

get a component out of an interface?

[swift crag]

no, both ways are possible!

[rich adder]

oh wow didn't know that. TIL

always did TryGetComponent

[swift crag]

If you have an interface-typed variable, it can refer to anything implementing the interface

which could include a component

[swift crag]

can you log a.GetType()?

i'd like to see what you actually have here

[raven kelp]

ah i shouldve done that at the start

Thats what gettype does

its weirdMove wtf

its bruh

[swift crag]

and the console logs "No worky" ?

[raven kelp]

I replaced No worky with gettype

so yes it is in spirit, "No worky"

so weirdMove is not newMove.

wait

what just happened

my gettype print command is unreachable

[swift crag]

show me your current code.

[swift crag]

you have two components in the scene

one has a reference and one doesn't

[raven kelp]

1am coding adventures strike again

thank you

I am so sorry

[willow scroll]

if (a is newMove j)

[raven kelp]

I dont get this, fen said this too

j is nothing

its private now

[sleek notch]

Hi I need help. I'm doing game where you have to type words by input but for no reason it stops working and game probably crashes and stop cathing input from a player

[willow scroll]

if (a is newMove j)
{
    print("Excuse me");
}
else
{
    print("No worky");
}

is the same you've sent

[slender nymph]

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/language-reference/operators/patterns#declaration-and-type-patterns

[swift crag]

This is not appropriate if you want to assign it into a field.

[willow scroll]

And

print((a is newMove j) ? "Excuse me" : "No worky");

[swift crag]

it creates a new local variable

if (a is newMove j) {
  this.j = j;
}

you'd have to do this to assign it into the field

[willow scroll]

ok

That's because you're doing it wrong

[sleek notch]

no

[swift crag]

"probably crashes"?

a crash makes the game completely quit

perhaps you mean it's freezing?

where it locks up and Windows eventually says that it's not responding

[orchid oyster]

Unity is crashing during build for android gradle error what could go wrong tried googling tried few things but can't figure out

[slender nymph]

#📱┃mobile
also is it actually crashing as in completely closing unity, or is it just failing to build. because those are two completely different things

[orchid oyster]

Failing to build

[slender nymph]

then you should say that instead of saying that it crashes. because, again, those are two completely different things and being as specific as possible when trying to get help is important to get the correct help. anyway, your question is not code related so delete it and repost in #📱┃mobile and provide as much detail as possible, including the details of the actual error

[willow breach]

If I have a lot of data for the game (many monster stats, maps, items etc) where do I store it? Should I just dump it to a json or maybe sqlite file?
What is the common practice?

[swift crag]

JSON is convenient for editing outside of Unity. The main problem is referencing that data.

you can use integer IDs, as long as you keep them consistent

[willow breach]

And have like enum of the ids so it’s connected to the code?

For example I want to load a map and assign what monster will spawn there

[shy ruin]

I don't know is this goes in coding help, but I have 2 objects. I am setting the rotations of them to each other, but they have different base rotations. The 1st object at 0,0,0 rotation points left, the other objects points right at 0,0,0. How am I supposed to set the rotation of them to each other if they point different locations when they are exactly the same?

[rich egret]

                RoomItem newRoom = Instantiate(roomItemPrefab, _content);
                newRoom.SetRoomName(room.Name);
                roomItemsList.Add(newRoom);
            }
        }
    }```

pls i need help, the function `OnRoomListUpdate` is not called 🥲

[willow breach]

or. is it really that bad to just have static class with the data?

[cunning narwhal]

You need to call that method from something outside of this code

[rich egret]

ok thanks

[swift crag]

an enum would make it a bit easier to select something in the inspector, but it wouldn't help if you needed to change an ID for some reason

the other option is to use ScriptableObjects

you can create new kinds of assets and reference them directly

[willow breach]

yes this! i thought static class is similar

[cunning narwhal]

No problem. It's just that without some kind of way for your application to use that, it wont just pick it it up automatically, so you gotta have some other class or event or something say hey I want to explicitly call this and then it will do so based on whatever meets the criteria for the caller to use it

[swift crag]

it's kind of the exact opposite :p

you can't possibly reference things from a static class in the inspector

[slender nymph]

that is not something you call yourself.

ask in the photon discord if you need help with it

[willow breach]

oh you talk about the inspector, is it that important? i rather control it from the code anyway

[rich egret]

So there's a problem, Photon doesn't call the function

[slender nymph]

again, ask in the photon discord if you need help with that

[analog pivot]

forgive my confusion with coding. how does the code know how to effect the correct items and assets in the project? Maybe Im trying to start too big.

Im trying to make the buttons in the yellow tab disable in the next section then the one next to it. Maybe Im starting too big?

[eager wolf]

how should I go about making it so that if any of the variables in {} are null, it doesn't skip a line? (without using a huge list of "if" conditions)

[swift crag]

you probably want to configure things in the scene view, like setting which enemy you'll encounter if you walk onto a tile

[swift crag]

Consider string.Join

[analog pivot]

Ive been trying to find tutorials on how to set code but it doesnt seem to match my requirements right

[swift crag]

It can combine a bunch of objects together.

[willow breach]

i have 1 scene and just loading a diffrent "settings" to it, otherwise ill have too many

[swift crag]

You might do this...

[eager wolf]

for context, i want to avoid the "range:" line from appearing if range is null

[swift crag]

oh wait, it won't be quite that easy

since each line has its own prefix it wants to display

I was going to suggest this

[cunning narwhal]

Yeah I'm guessing they would have to instead force an intitialization on each to just be a blank string/value so that it will output something, yeah?

[swift crag]

List<string> entries = new();
entries.Add(itemData.AttackDamage);
entries.Add(itemData.AttackRange);
entries.Add(itemData.AttackSpeed);
string.Join("\n", entries.Where(entry => entry != "");

something like this

(you'd have to call ToString on those items, too, and that requires a null check for each...

[eager wolf]

you the man, let me try that

[swift crag]

It's not appropriate here though

it doesn't show "Range: ", etc.

[eager wolf]

oh, ok, you got a better idea?

[slender nymph]

prefer !string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(entry) over entry != "" since that will actually check for null as well

[swift crag]

yeah, I wasn't sure what AttackDamage/etc. actually were

if they're getting ToString()'d then the empty comparison makes sense

but I suppose the IsNullOrWhitespace is still a better choice, since it also filters out anything that looks blank

[eager wolf]

So what would that look like?

[swift crag]

i don't have a better suggestion right now

If you need to conditionally exclude entire lines, and the lines aren't empty when they should be excluded, then I'd just do an if statement for each one

[split dragon]

Hi. I have a question: Which option is better? Through a loop in void Update, assign bool bools using Toggle or create a separate method for each Bools?

[wintry quarry]

neither

public void Set(int i, bool val) {
  Bools[i] = val;
}```
Just one method like this^

[split dragon]

Oh, oh. Thanks

[eager wolf]

chat GPT suggested me this, and it seems to work lol

just letting you know, if ever it helps you in the future

[wintry quarry]

A StringBuilder would be a bit more efficient, but that works

[gaunt ice]

itemData.attcakRange sounds likes a float or int or long and never been null

[analog pivot]

I got this code from ChatGPT Im guessing I need to rename the code lines to match the name of the buttons?

[slender nymph]

agreed. the typing is not clear from these names

[wintry quarry]

If you don't understand the code CGPT is spitting out, it's useless for you.

[analog pivot]

apologies

i will figure how to make code not useless

[swift crag]

indeed

I would suggest making it so that each object can display itself

so that itemData.AttackDamage.ToString() spits out "Damage: 123"

[analog pivot]

so is AI worthless to help learn code with

sorry if these questions come across as "dont asks"

[summer stump]

I think worthless gives it a bit too much credit. I would call it actively harmful
You need to know enough to tell when it is lying before it is not harmful

[cunning narwhal]

probably not entirely worthless but more of a guide if you know what youre doing already and need another perspective to then evaluate if its useless

Because otherwise you end up with stuff you copy over and use but have no idea how it truly works, which is then not going to help you whatsoever to try and fix/debug

[analog pivot]

yes, it is actively harmful

[zenith cypress]

It's useful if you already have a somewhat good understanding of what you are needing information about. It's not good for "just give me code" but it can be useful for partial code explanations, or finding an obscure api that may or may not exist (but if it does exist then it solves whatever problem it was), or possible avenues for finding new coding patterns you didn't know before. It's basically a drunk rubber duck, so you can't always rely on its output Phind is cool since it gives you links to actual sources + follow up questions.

[spiral narwhal]

_affectedEntityRigidbody.AddForce(Vector2.left * _knockBackForce);

Is this the intended way or do I need to normalise something? Because this requires a huge force float to have a visible effect

[swift crag]

AddForce applies a constant force by default.

If you give it Vector3.left every FixedUpdate, it pushes with 1 newton of force

[spiral narwhal]

Isn't that what I want for a knockback?

A constant force I mean

[swift crag]

this accelerates a 1kg object by 1 m/s every second

knockback is generally an instant thing

[slender nymph]

you probably want an impulse force

[swift crag]

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Rigidbody.AddForce.html

check out the different force modes

[spiral narwhal]

Will do! Thanks

[slender nymph]

handy image that explains the different force modes

[swift crag]

One second of AddForce with ForceMode.Force is equivalent to calling it once with ForceMode.Impulse

[spiral narwhal]

Hm with Impulse I don't seem to get any movement whatsoever...

       
        public void ApplyKnockBack()
        {
            _affectedEntityRigidbody.AddForce(Vector2.left * _knockBackForce, ForceMode2D.Impulse);
        }

The rigidbody mass is 1

[slender nymph]

are you perhaps overriding velocity somewhere else?

or is _knockBackForce incredibly small

[spiral narwhal]

Ah yes the movement script uses the rigidbody too

So I must use the other mode then?

[summer stump]

That will not change this issue

You need to stop setting velocity while you do the knockback

[spiral narwhal]

Can I add a second rigidbody as an easier solution

[rich adder]

no

make simple bool.. if(knockingBack) don't apply the movement velocity. or better use simple State Machine with enum

[swift crag]

that wouldn't make any sense

you'd have two velocities and positions for the same object

[swift crag]

(re: this, not navarone's suggestion)

[spiral narwhal]

I see

[warm condor]

Hi guys, I was wonderring you can help me answer what the time variable is in the function AnimationCurve.Evaluate(time). I looked it up in the unity documents but I still do not understand what it does.

[rich adder]

it evalutes value at point on the curve

imagine its a timeline and you want to know where is the value at x time

if you pass In 1 , you get 1

[warm condor]

ohhh ok I see. I think I understand it better. I was using the function with the time as a constant variable like 3 and so there was no increase in the value.

[swift crag]

the time is often in the [0..1] range

but you can make a curve that covers any time range

It's much like how Lerp's third parameter is "t"

[rich adder]

yeah if you want smoothness along you just add Time.deltaTime
I use this often for character controller accelerations

[spiral narwhal]

Got the force to work but this caused a new issue where the friction material causes the knockback force to never stop. Any ideas what I can do?

[warm condor]

okk

[rich adder]

why do you have no friction ?

[spiral narwhal]

To avoid sticking to platforms

[rich adder]

thats easily to fix another way, imo this is the worst ways

you would cast in movement direction, and if is blocked then just dont apply movement in that dir

or you could at very least put Nofriction material while in air, I still think that material method is just brute forcing one problem to create others

[spiral narwhal]

I see

Thank you

[warm condor]

wait another question, how do I set the max speed limit and how do I make it go with the animation curve.

[rich adder]

the max speed would be the last keyframe of the curve

you could clamp i guess

[warm condor]

yea but am adding the speed to the velocity making the acceleration go up forever:

        time += Time.deltaTime;
        speed = movementCurve.Evaluate(time);
        rb.velocityX += speed * direction;```

[rich adder]

you keep adding velocity instead of setting it

[swift crag]

The animation curve does nothing but tell you your acceleration here

If you want a max velocity, then clamp the velocity

you won't change how you use the curve

[warm condor]

how do I do that?

[slender nymph]

Mathf.Clamp

[swift crag]

there's also Vector2.Clamp or Vector3.Clamp if you want to clamp the entire vector

but you're strictly looking at the X velocity here

so Mathf.Clamp is what you want!

[warm condor]

is time on the X axis or the Y axis?

[gentle stratus]

https://hastebin.skyra.pw/yetaciveco.csharp have this code to change an enemy's material from all black to its regular one if it enters a player's view collider, but when i bump directly into the enemy and then walk backwards it assumes it exited even though the enemy is still in the collider, how can i fix this

[slender nymph]

presumably some trigger collider did stop overlapping

[warm condor]

and is there a way to inverse the axis?

so for example the time is on the Y axis

[sterile plover]

how can i change and customize the input of cinemachine like i would like the camera on the Y axis to move everytime along the mouse delta but the X axis to move with the mouse scroll kinda like a zoom

[slender nymph]

did you look at the settings on your vcam?

[cunning narwhal]

the render graph compatibility mode should be disabled here right? This is just enabled for current projects using it before they fully migrate to 6?

[rich adder]

not sure if it would make sense to do so

[ashen niche]

help with enemy ai code?

[slender nymph]

not really a code question. but yes unless you have something in your project that needs that to work (such as an asset that does a scriptable render pass using the old api), it should be off

[sterile plover]

wdym ??? the only thing i think could change the input is the input provider that is only by using the ew input system and it manage only XY at the same time for the same input

[stuck palm]

how can i fix this?

[sterile plover]

meaning i cant just make and input for X and an input for Y

[cunning narwhal]

Thanks

[slender nymph]

so you see where you have an input action assigned for the XY Axis? that's the input
so you modify that input action

[void thicket]

Did you make your class MonoBehavior and then removed it?

[gentle stratus]

you would think so but the enemy is clearly in the collider (its radius is 15 units, this is not too good an image cause the guy is farther away but in the original image the enemy is right up in the player's face and still not being changed from black)

[stuck palm]

ahhh, fixed that thank you

[sterile plover]

yes but no, it manage with only 1 input both X and Y and i want separate input for X and Y

[slender nymph]

sure it may still be in that collider. but if you have another collider as a child of the object selected then that would affect it to

[slender nymph]

modify the input action

[gentle stratus]

which object the player or enemy

[sterile plover]

like how ???

i need to change the scrip^t that manage it ??

[slender nymph]

like open your input action asset and change it

[sterile plover]

but it dont work

[slender nymph]

why would it not work

[sterile plover]

like i can only assign 1 input for both X and Y

[slender nymph]

incorrect

[sterile plover]

i need separat input for X and Y

[sterile plover]

oh i can do different input for X and Y on a single action input ???

[slender nymph]

why don't you have a look at the documentation pinned in #🖱️┃input-system to learn how to use it

[gentle stratus]

specifically it says the character controller of the enemy (the cylinder outline) exited the trigger but like its not significantly bigger than the enemy itself so theres no way it couldve exited here

[sterile plover]

beceause it thought it wasnt on the input system side but cinemachine one

cinemachine input provider script say for the input assign it say XY axis so i tought with only one input it manage both X and Y axis

[slender nymph]

if any of the colliders stop overlapping and are able to produce an OnTriggerExit method then they will

[slender nymph]

and i've been saying you need to change the input action in your input action asset

[gentle stratus]

but i made the collider tags be "invisible" (and thus not "enemy") and the collider layers be "collider" and disabled collision between colliders in the physics settings so wouldnt they not interact

[sterile plover]

i did that but now cinemachine use both mouse delta and mouse scrolling for X axis 😭 and the mouse scrolling isn't working well like i actually move when scrolling for like 2second

[slender nymph]

this is why i told you to read the documentation for the input system.

you need a vector2 composite so you can select the individual inputs for each axis

[sterile plover]

this is vector 2

[slender nymph]

so we're just going to ignore the "read the documentation" bit then, eh?

[sterile plover]

nah im gonna read it actually..
thanks anyway

[slender nymph]

show the objects in question

and keep in mind that OnTriggerXXX messages are sent to the rigidbody parent as well as the object the collider is actually attached to

[gentle stratus]

this is the enemy prefab

[rich adder]

wow that collider..

[gentle stratus]

this is the player

[rich adder]

why are you mixing Character Controller with rigidbody

very bad

[gentle stratus]

whys that

[rich adder]

they are seperate controllers?

CC works with OnTrigger methods anyway, and you can use OnCharcterHit method if you need something close to OnCollision, so no reason at all to use Rb

if you want rigidbody don't use cc

[gentle stratus]

so is that why im getting the bug

[slender nymph]

yeah that CC is on the Enemy layer with the Enemy tag so it will produce an OnTriggerExit call

[rich adder]

You can probably delete that diamond shaped collider too, that looks like an optimization nightmare

[gentle stratus]

but only if that cc is outside the collider right

[slender nymph]

the issue happens when you collide with the enemy then back off from it. OnTriggerExit is being called when the player's collider exits the enemy CC

you would be much better off using physics queries for this behavior instead of relying on OnTrigger messages tbh

[gentle stratus]

yeah its a mesh collider that snapped to the t pose of the idle animation but i wanted it to be more universal so i made it convex but its p weird

[gentle stratus]

what kind of physics queries

[slender nymph]

overlapsphere

[gentle stratus]

ill look into that

[ashen niche]

enemy ai help

[rich adder]

yeah generally for entire bodies you dont have a mesh collider, you would use Capsules/boxes for example

[gentle stratus]

makes sense

[swift crag]

ah, the Michelin Man

[ashen niche]

can you guys help

see thread

[rocky canyon]

cant beat banana man

[rich adder]

😮

I need this

[rocky canyon]

https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/3d/characters/humanoids/banana-man-196830

[cosmic quail]

damn, 82800 polygons?

[rocky canyon]

thats alot eh..

it is a good model tho..

[rich adder]

wow free? that just might become my new test bunnman

We went too far with the downscaling last time 😦 We increased the poly count a bit so the model doesn't look horrible in game

lol

[rocky canyon]

https://ko-fi.com/s/bd5b56fde6 i actually use this one

just a little less 😄

[rocky canyon]

this guy looks like it would give me nightmares

probably his protruding eyeballs

[stuck palm]

@rich adder trying to wrangle this controller is intimidating

keep getting this error so i cant even start working on it lol

[rich adder]

thats like some internal looking error, which line is that

maybe you didn't assign something? been a while since I've used it

[slender nymph]

i'd guess that the motor.CharacterController hasn't been assigned

[slender nymph]

called it

[stuck palm]

where do i assign it though

im using this package i found

or navarone graciously gifted me

[slender nymph]

i am aware of the KCC package and use it myself. did you not read the documentation that comes with it?

it should show you how to implement the ICharacterController interface and also assign it to the CharacterController property on the motor

[stuck palm]

i skimmed it, probably a fatal mistake

[slender nymph]

yep, definitely give that documentation a good read. but all you really need to do to fix that issue is assign your motor's CharacterController property to this in Start on your ICharacterController component

[stuck palm]

yeah, if i look at the property it appears to have never been set

[slender nymph]

yeah, you have to assign to it manually in code

[void dawn]

Where can I learn to code for unity

[slender nymph]

!learn

[eternal falcon]

:teacher: Unity Learn ↗

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

[rich adder]

start with the pathways so you learn editor first, then do programmer path

[rocky canyon]

is this you?

very fluid 👍

[rich adder]

i wish. nah thats euphoria engine

[rocky canyon]

ohh shucks

[rich adder]

gta4 and others

[rich adder]

took me 3 hours yesterday just to get this hop out of the water controller smoothly xD
If i could those euphoria style animations I'd be in a AAA

[rocky canyon]

whats this error hinting at?

i think its b/c of the SO property window

its intermitten

[rich adder]

probably didn't like the window got separated ?

Unity editor errors are weird

esp when you customize the layout too much

[primal lintel]

I don't know why my animations don't work..

[rich adder]

yesterday in the inspector i had 4 nested classes and Unity editor took a shit spammed in errors on 2022

[rocky canyon]

also..not sure im doing this right.. but i don't have a mono for my settings.. i just assign them via the project window..

seems to have always worked.. but im going back and revisiting and refactoring..

just trying to make sure it is a valid approach.. and a non-reason the error could exist

[rocky canyon]

need more context,

• do they not work at all?
• is it a character / rig set up?
• is the rig set up correctly? (possibly using a humanoid avatar)
• does the character do anything when you play? like sink halfway into the ground..
• etc

[rocky canyon]

i have the same issue when climbing ladders.. when u reach the top it just gives u a little boost up and foward..

works like crap.. so i finally just deleted the climbing mechanic 😄

i'll do something work-around-ish.. like disable controls and move the character to the top and hten re-enable

[rich adder]

I was actually thinking of a way of resolving the ladder problem yesterday that I might try, If its success I'll be happy to share result 😛
It involves a few physics casts

I want to resolve 2 issues:
-my player should be able to climb ladder but be able to get off inside a space even if its crouch sized
-player should also be able to choose another ladder/climbable surface to grab onto

[primal lintel]

I don't know how to explain if you can only enter with anydesk

[tame mist]

not really a scripting issue but I'm just wondering why when i put a circle collider 2d on this sprite the collider is going from front to back around the sprite rather than around the sprite like it should

[swift crag]

the object is probably rotated

hit W to switch back to arrow gizmos

and make sure you're in pivot + local mode

[rocky canyon]

thats cool, i dont need the crouch mechanic.. but if u come up w/ some clever idea let me know 👍

[swift crag]

What is Player1 parented to?

ah, yeah

the player has been rotated

your blue axis (local +Z) matches the world +X axis (the red cone in the top right)

I don't think circle colliders respond to rotation at all

[rocky canyon]

mine is bare- essential setup

well was like i said i deleted it.. wasn't happy with the unmount

[tame mist]

yeah one of the parents is rotated 90 degrees
i didn't think that would effect how a circle collider would orientate on a sprite

[rocky canyon]

one of Dapper-dino's old tutorials

[swift crag]

2D physics is designed to work in the XY plane

[rich adder]

yeah but a single ray its to little

[tame mist]

oh alright, thanks

[rocky canyon]

ya, its not the best.. but it worked for simple stuff

[rich adder]

I learned the hardway through this water controller that multiple points are needed

[swift crag]

i need to go re-visit a parkour system

i got a pretty good feeling ledge-climb mechanic going

[rich adder]

for example when in water there is huge differences between being fully submerged and halfway or just feet

[rocky canyon]

yea, vaulting is what i want to do. at the very minimum..

[rich adder]

my big inspiration for this is Dying Light

[rocky canyon]

soo when a ledge is just outside the jump height

wanna climb up on it

[rich adder]

their parkour controller is lowkey fire

looking at ledges to clumb is very intuitive

[rocky canyon]

can't beat TitanFall/Apex Legends 🤤

[rich adder]

its good for arcade climb wall or wallride, but not so much more complex buildings like towers

[rocky canyon]

apex legends was my controllers insipiration

[rich adder]

assasins creed nailed it, but in fpv is harder

Apex is source engine

thats why it feels nice

they have the best Surf-like controllers , Source SDK was my fav

[rocky canyon]

missing bunny hops

[rich adder]

haha top speed bunny hop 🐇

[rocky canyon]

ya, i havent even started thinkin about bunny hoppin

tho it would be awesome to add

[rich adder]

yeah source2 or at least cs2 pretty much killed bunny hops

[rocky canyon]

i think my controller is pretty solid on the movement..

with some camera headbob action and it will be awesome

[rich adder]

are you using rigidbody or cc ?

[rocky canyon]

CC 😩

[rich adder]

cc is good

[rocky canyon]

b/c i like to beat myself up

[rich adder]

it just takes a bit more patience 😅

[queen adder]

Trying to make an object stick to my player, but it's staying in place after it gets parented, not sure why.

[rich adder]

faking physics aint easy when you know minim

[stuck palm]

@slender nymph you said you've used the KCC, do you know how to like disable the motor? can i just set enabled = false or would that break things?

[rich adder]

are you setting position?

probably maintaining the offset

[rocky canyon]

sneak peek https://gist.github.com/SpawnCampGames/dff473850a0c0c0dc1c81b573ec24302

[random cave]

void OnGui()
    {
        Debug.Log("Drawing GUI");
        if (!showConsole) { return; }
        float y = 0f;

        GUI.Box(new Rect(0, y, Screen.width, 30), "");
        GUI.backgroundColor = new Color(0, 0, 0, 0);
        input = GUI.TextField(new Rect(10f, y + 5f, Screen.width - 20f, 20f), input);
        Debug.Log("GUI Drawn");

    }```
Anybody know why my gui not drawing? if showconsole is true or false it doesnt debug anything

[queen adder]

no this is my only code, also the object does have a dynamic rigidbody2d component

[rich adder]

you put sliding yet?

[rich adder]

thats why

[verbal dome]

Not sure how well rigidbody2d works when parented to another. Might need to use a joint instead

[queen adder]

well if it's a moving platform, and I make that platform a parent of my player, my player will stay on the platform, but it doesn't work the other way around

[rich adder]

and are you sure you parented to the rigidbody and not the parent or some other object without rb

[rocky canyon]

yea, thats what that video is showcasing.. 3/4 view

[short hazel]

Your method is not named correctly, the correct one is OnGUI. C# is case-sensitive, watch out for uppercase vs. lowercase characters!

[random cave]

Ohh thank you imma go fix my ide so no more of this stupid mistakes

[rich adder]

oh yeah just noticed. neat!

[rocky canyon]

when u slide it takes ur last input, locks it, and lerps it to zero.. until u jump/stand/ or something else

[queen adder]

I will try this, ty Osmal

[rocky canyon]

https://gist.github.com/SpawnCampGames/ff78e57529e1891c8eb8aabfb03e3d4a

pretty jank how i do it tho..

[lethal bolt]

My units wont move to the towards the enemy.

Did i use transform wrong?

[rich adder]

Ohh I see. I used a Coroutine before

[rocky canyon]

yea, i wrote majority of this my first 6 months of learning..

not sure i even knew what a coroutine was back then

[rich adder]

Update works fine, I just have a dedicated Routine because I also do a physics casts from the "legs" because it detects legs for my enemy so they can be tackled

[eternal needle]

Are you sure this code is even running? Add debugs to see. Likely a problem with the agent or the SetDestination. Check to see what this position even is.

[rocky canyon]

i also still use broken lerps 😉

haha

look at all my zeros

[rich adder]

yeah my old code had those all over the place until I watched my sliders always be 0.98888

[rocky canyon]

zeros at heart ofc 😄

[rich adder]

gotta love floats

[rocky canyon]

ohh i had that issue to... i would add if > threshold -> snap to 1 or snap to 0

[lethal bolt]

They get the target but can't seem to walk towards it?

[rich adder]

so is the navmesh baked/

[rocky canyon]

^ navmesh have lots of gizmos you can use to debug what ur navmesh is doing

[verbal dome]

Why not try the 'improvement' on this page https://unity.huh.how/lerp/wrong-lerp

[rocky canyon]

yea, i need to.. just been procrastinating..

[verbal dome]

Makes it less framerate dependent too

Which is ideal for movement

[rocky canyon]

my recent projects i have adopted MoveTowards

[lethal bolt]

Yes

[rocky canyon]

i replaced almost all my lerps with those instead

[rich adder]

or just use the coroutine method

[lethal bolt]

Do i need to bake every frame?

[rocky canyon]

altho even using movetowards i get people saying.. Use SmoothDamp instead!

lol

[rich adder]

https://gamedevbeginner.com/the-right-way-to-lerp-in-unity-with-examples/
this page also covers more lerp usecases

[swift crag]

No. You bake the navmesh once.

[rocky canyon]

this is bookmarkd in my 101 github page

[rich adder]

has actual decent articles

[rocky canyon]

yes i was just typing that same thing

really good source for Text style beginner stuff

[rich adder]

the OG

[rocky canyon]

catlikecoding wants to know ur location

[rich adder]

catlike is great , catlike gets right down to the basics though which is good and bad

hes like Yea...Unity gravity is ok.. but lets make our own..

[rocky canyon]

true, true..

unity gravity is broken...

should be defaulted to 10.5 instead

[rich adder]

me looking at the buoyancy script

[rocky canyon]

or 11 or 12 even

[lethal bolt]

This should work??!

[rich adder]

have you inspected the gizmos as suggested

in playmode navmesh agent tells you exactly what its doing

[rocky canyon]

^ it'll show u a little crosshair type thing where the navmesh is directed to go..

i dont have a navmesh in my project or i'd show u real quick

[rich adder]

also no context to when this is supposed to run

[lethal bolt]

Its in an OnstateUpdate

So always im using the Animator

[rich adder]

and you debugged that is running with log ?

I dont see the typical red target when agent has a path

[swift crag]

You have to turn that overlay on

oh lordy

hit ` to get the list of overlaps and turn on AI Navigation

Ah, there we go. Docking the menu to the side makes it show up much better.

[rich adder]

UX program fail

reminds me when unity would fuck up arrays in the inspectors

[lethal bolt]

Like that?

[rich adder]

yup

so its not moving at all ?

[lethal bolt]

Yes when i rigth click and have Selected units, but not when its in range of the Test dummy

[rich adder]

idk what that means

[lethal bolt]

yes...

It wont move toward the Enemy even tho it has an target

[rich adder]

yes target is that green cube the red circle is on yes?

[lethal bolt]

No... Its just an visual

[misty coral]

If I make a collider a trigger can anything go through it?

[rich adder]

where is Cube at

[rich adder]

yes

thats the whole point of a trigger

[misty coral]

I am having a problem where I can go through it but my enemy AI cant

and idk why

[rich adder]

depends how the enemy is moving in the first place, first I'd check there

[rich adder]

so the cube is the thing outside the navmesh ?

[lethal bolt]

Yes i dont know why, but it moves

So it isnt always in it

[rich adder]

you should exclude any moving objects' layers from the bake

[lethal bolt]

I dont know why it did

[rich adder]

yes you shouldnt bake layers with moving objects

[lethal bolt]

Oh, is there away i can bake without it leaving an spot?

[rich adder]

yes exclude that layer from the baking

[rocky canyon]

if theres something that moves that u need to account for you can use the Carve tick box

[rich adder]

you can also untick "only carve while stationary"

[rocky canyon]

didnt know about that one 👍

[lethal bolt]

The spot is gone

👍

[stuck palm]

why arent they facing the correct way?

if (!paused)
            {
                if (facingleft)
                {
                    Quaternion targetRotation = Quaternion.Euler(0f, 0f, 0f);
                    armature.transform.rotation = targetRotation;
                    ultCameraContainer.transform.rotation = Quaternion.identity;
                    ultCameraContainer.transform.localScale = new Vector3(-1, 1, 1);
                    cameraContainer.transform.rotation = Quaternion.identity;
                }
                else
                {
                    Quaternion targetRotation = Quaternion.Euler(0f, 180f, 0f);
                    armature.transform.rotation = targetRotation;
                    ultCameraContainer.transform.rotation = Quaternion.identity;
                    ultCameraContainer.transform.localScale = Vector3.one;
                    cameraContainer.transform.rotation = Quaternion.identity;
                }
            }

[rich adder]

very handy with moving objects and need realtime moving around them

[rocky canyon]

im guessing this cuts down on the processing alot

ya exactly

[rich adder]

yeah carving during motion is probably expensive side 😛
use with caution

[rocky canyon]

havent really used the new navmesh components yet tbh

first time in that video ^

[lethal bolt]

But are they just really lazy or am i doing something wrong?

[rich adder]

are they moving tho

at all

[rocky canyon]

the stopping distance.. affects it

in their minds they are close enough

[rich adder]

also that

just not going to target, you seem to have the wrong target

either that or ur moving the child while parent is elsewhere?

[rocky canyon]

i hate that ^ gets me once a week

[rich adder]

me when i try to duplicate an object but duplicated a child

[rocky canyon]

lmao facts!

[primal lintel]

guys, when I walk forward, after a few seconds my character falls

[lethal bolt]

Lock the rotation

[lethal bolt]

Changing the stoping distance just made them really Physical agianst eachother. They dont move agianst the target att all...

But there is an arrow Coming from the Unit to the Enemy They just dont move

[rich adder]

show the current setings your have

[rich adder]

yes if its a rigidbody you need to use the Constraints on the rigidbody rotation

[primal lintel]

i resloved playerRigidbody.freezeRotation = true;

[rich adder]

those are constraints yes

[ember tangle]

When I inherit this interface:

public interface ICommand
{
    void Execute();
}```

its making me write the inherited method like this or I get errors:

public class FormationMoveOrder : ICommand
{
void ICommand.Execute()
{

}

}```
This is not what the documentation I'm following suggests is supposed to happen. Is the IDE correct anyway?

[rich adder]

same exact thing

[lethal bolt]

On what

[rich adder]

the navmesh agent

and the target object

[stuck palm]

@slender nymph do you know how to disable ground snapping? the walkthrough says to do this but it doesnt exist

[slender nymph]

yes, when you implement an interface, you are required to implement all of its members that do not have a default implementation

[lethal bolt]

Unit

Enemy

[swift crag]

i would be interested to see this documentation

[sterile plover]

on my mouse scrolling input the mouse scroll is very laggy like i need to scroll for like 4s to make the input move by a Nano centimeter i cant understand a thing where this thing comes from, is there a way to modify the sensitivity or smth like that ???

[ember tangle]

The material im following suggests that the inherited method can be "void Execute" rather than "void ICommand.Execute"

[swift crag]

oh, it's implementing the methods explicitly

the IDE should offer to do both

[slender nymph]

oh right, it's gotta be public

[swift crag]

ahh

good catch

[ember tangle]

holy smokes how did I not see that 😩

[rich adder]

sounds like something wrong with your mouse tbh

[sterile plover]

tried different mouse already and still does the same thing

[slender nymph]

the walkthrough is a bit out of date. check the upgrade guide and userguide to see what may have changed. oh and the API reference

[lethal bolt]

Ig ill figure it out tomorrow its getting late

[rich adder]

then the code is probably wrong, idk you're not really being descriptive

[sterile plover]

it is an input on the ''new'' input system for cinemachine camera

[rich adder]

you're talking about the Orbital camera or what

[swift crag]

perhaps you need to change the sensitivity, then

[sterile plover]

and when i scroll like it doesnt activate the scrolling input everytime

[stuck palm]

ah there we go, thank you 😄

[sterile plover]

here is the input for the mouse controls for the cinemachine camera if it can help

like yk when you use your scroll wheel the value goes to 120 or smth like that right ???

but here it goes to 120 times to times when it want, but im actually scrolling like a mad man

[stuck palm]

do you know if its possible to disable snapping but keep probing? the probing is useful but the snapping less so for what i want to do

[slender nymph]

i don't know off the top of my head. there's an entire forum post for the asset though, you could try looking there

[stuck palm]

will have a look, thanks. it looks like a good asset for my needs but it needs a bit of refactoring lmao

well my code needs refactoring i mean

[slender nymph]

you can probably add the scale processor to the action and scale just the Y axis

[stuck palm]

to fit it, not too much though luckily

[slender nymph]

there's also the option of just inheriting from the CinemachineInputProvider and applying your own scaling when cinemachine gets the input. this is what i did to allow customizable mouse sensitivity in my project

this is all i did to add my own sensitivity to it:

public class InputProvider : CinemachineInputProvider
{
    public override float GetAxisValue (int axis) => base.GetAxisValue(axis) * GameSettings.MouseSensitivity;
}

[sterile plover]

i get it but like i think the issue is from another source
like i made the scale processor thing and made my scroll value bigger but it dont make my scroll activte when the scroll is actually scrolling

like my issue is that the input dont detect when my mouse scroll is used like it should normally do

and i tried 2 different mouses and made the same issue

[slender nymph]

what did you actually set the scale for the Y axis to? and keep in mind that if you are using the scroll delta the values might be super small, you could always try printing them to see what they actually are

[sterile plover]

i didnt changed the scale i only added the input and assigned the input in my cinemachine input provider

[slender nymph]

you literally just said you tried the scale processor

[sterile plover]

oh this scale
i made it to 10 sintead of 1 then tried 100

made the movment slightly bigger but not really any changes

[slender nymph]

then print what the values actually are

[stuck palm]

anyone know why this might be happening? armature and the others are children of this object

[sterile plover]

how do i print it ??? like how do i get the value of the input ???

[slender nymph]

just print it in OnLook, you don't need to assign it in OnLook then print in Update

but that's literally how. all you need to do now is make sure that you have subscribed to the event somehow, such as with the PlayerInput component

[sterile plover]

i dont know how to assign the right input

[slender nymph]

😮‍💨
remember how i suggested you read the documentation on the input system and you said you would?

[sterile plover]

in the input header in the editor there is no assign for any input

[slender nymph]

why would there be one there?

[sterile plover]

to know which input i am printing ?

[slender nymph]

#💻┃code-beginner message
#💻┃code-beginner message

oh and the component will not magically grow new properties to assign in the inspector just because you thought about input when making that component

[sterile plover]

and sry for the documentation thing tbh i just checked what i needed for the input to be assigned differrntly between X and Y etc.. (but yeah that is not an excuse)

[sterile plover]

it should normally be assigned with playerInput component but it dont print anything

[slender nymph]

surely you bothered reading your screenshot, right?

[sterile plover]

yes ?

[slender nymph]

so then based on what you see in that screenshot, what do you think you forgot to do?

[sterile plover]

the "No Function" but when i click on it the only option i have is a string name

[slender nymph]

https://unity.huh.how/unity-events/incorrect-assignment

[rocky canyon]

u drag in the gameobject w/ the script on it..

not the script from the project window

[sterile plover]

oh ok... sorry

[rustic valve]

Someone knows why my unity predictions stopped working? (even my extensions (like error lens) doesnt do anything):

[rich adder]

try regen project files

[slender nymph]

#JustVSCodeThings

[rustic valve]

already did it :(

[slender nymph]

is your Visual Studio Editor package up to date?

[rustic valve]

how can I check it ?

[slender nymph]

look in the package manager

[rocky canyon]

package manager..

[rich adder]

try opening the script from solution explorer

looks like external tools says package version 2.0.22

[rocky canyon]

u want the 2.0.22 version

[sterile plover]

WTF WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED ??!!? now it work normally without any lag ??? the only thing i changed was to add a print script and add the player input component 😭
why does the was lagging without the player Input ???

[rustic valve]

it was installed

[rocky canyon]

vscode can be finniky when recompiling and whatnot

[rich adder]

you should remove the VSCode one

it might cause issues

[rocky canyon]

sometimes u gotta tab back and forth from unity to vscode to str8n it out

[slender nymph]

that should be irrelevant 🤔
did you untick the automatically enable option on the input provider or something?

[rich adder]

weird been using it nonstop on my mac no issues

[rustic valve]

it can't be removed

[rich adder]

thats because it might be part of another package

[slender nymph]

gotta unlock the Engineering package or whatever

[sterile plover]

nah the auto enable inpute of cinemachine is still to default

[rocky canyon]

it doesn't break or anything.. just sometimes it wanna drag its feet

[slender nymph]

then perhaps it got fixed from you saving stuff. remove those other components and see what happens

[rich adder]

oh yeah at times it doesn't load intellisense right away

[sterile plover]

i removed the player input component and the script and it works...... idk what to say tbh like that was the only changes i made

[rustic valve]

I did it, but the predictions still doesn't work

[slender nymph]

probably something else got saved that wasn't saved before 🤷‍♂️

[slender nymph]

well just removing that won't really do anything. did you regenerate project files again? and restart vs code?

[summer stump]

Did you regenerate project files AFTER removing the vs code package? Did you ever restart your computer after installing the c# dev kit in vs code?

[rich adder]

^ also try using the solution explorer and open script from there

[sterile plover]

huh i got my awnser but it is weird, actually i deactivated the Input component and deleted the print script and everything worked so presuming that deactivation of a component = salme a deleting it... i deleted the player input component and now it does the same bug as before
Like i dont get where the fix come from

[slender nymph]

well that doesn't seem right 🤔

i'd try and see if you can reproduce this behavior in an empty project and if you can reproduce it, then submit a bug report

[rustic valve]

yep, I regenerate the project files after removing it and I haven't restarted the computer, but the predictions and the extensions like "error lens" used to work fine, but idk what happened

[sterile plover]

i could try to (im gonna sleep now it nearly midnight in my time zone)

[stuck palm]

anyone know why this is possibly happening?

[slender nymph]

honestly, if you cannot get vs code to work, i'd recommend swapping over to a real IDE like Visual Studio or Rider

[hollow dawn]

can someone help me? the jump height doesn't effect my player for some reason. code: https://pastebin.com/DH0Ga0gW

[rocky canyon]

well, for starters u have a function called JumpAddForce() that your code never uses..

[slender nymph]

this person really needs to start paying attention to the code they are copying

[rocky canyon]

i could see tht

[summer stump]

You never answered why you have two addforce calls in your jump method

it may be past the point of no return.. but imo its better to get ur controller working first.. (without) any kind of animations.. and then add those once u have a working controller w/o problems..

You are also doing velocitychange in move..

And you could just... remove the part where you set gravity to true. The issue before was setting it false, the solution was to remove that, not change it to true
