[swift crag]

for example: a spring pulls harder when you stretch it further

[void thicket]

When the size matters. Such as velocity you'd want both size and direction.

[dense root]

Oh I see

[void thicket]

Or position where the direction does not matter.

Vector can represent many things

[dense root]

But for player movement, in general we would want to normalize right? Because size is irrelevant?

[swift crag]

the length of the input vector is important

[vernal thorn]

no my code does not do that it jumps too the cursor and when i max out the jump force and the cursor is on Y 0 it jumps lower then when the cursor is at Y 10 at max jump force

[swift crag]

a joystick can be tilted slightly or all the way

[void thicket]

Generally you want to "clamp" the magnitude, because user might want to move slightly to that direction

Not in full speed

[upper forge]

can i have controller support without using the new input manager?

[swift crag]

You keep saying it jumps "too the cursor". That is exactly what you said you wanted. You apply force that pushes you towards the cursor.

[dense root]

Thank yo so much for the explanation

[swift crag]

the old input system can handle joystick input by default

[upper forge]

alright thanks

[swift crag]

you have to use Input.GetAxis with the right axis names

you want "Vertical" and "Horizontal", I think

[vernal thorn]

no i said that I want the player too go in the direction and not too the cursor

[swift crag]

What is the "direction"?

[vernal thorn]

Of the cursor

[swift crag]

These two things are identical.

the direction of the cursor and towards the cursor

[vernal thorn]

when i click it goes too the exact position of the cursor when it is in reach

but when it goes the in the direction and has max jumpforce it goes beyond the cursor even when the cursor is beside the player

I can show a video of what i mean

[swift crag]

Yes. Show me a video.

[upper forge]

is c# made by microsoft??

[swift crag]

This looks normal. You jump towards the cursor, and the longer you hold the mouse down, the bigger your jump is.

[vernal thorn]

i had for every jump the max jump force so its not normal

[void thicket]

Yes

[swift crag]

oh, I think I know what's going on here

Vector3 mousePosition = Camera.main.ScreenToWorldPoint(Input.mousePosition);

[upper forge]

there docs are ass, cant find anything

[swift crag]

The Z part of this position is probably -10

[verbal shard]

Hello, sorry for interupting here but is there anyone who could help me with my scene colors?

[void thicket]

What are you finding?

[swift crag]

the C# documentation is very thorough

you will have to show us what you're trying

[swift crag]

because that's where the camera is

Set the z part to 0 before you calculate direction

That's causing the jumps to be weaker when the mouse is closer

[upper forge]

i just want it up incase i need to find something

[swift crag]

most of the jump is towards the camera (which can't happen)

[swift crag]

surely you were trying to find something if you're complaining about not being able to find anything

[void thicket]

You might as well bring around whole dictionary with you

[upper forge]

nvm

[swift crag]

mousePosition.z = 0;

[vernal thorn]

like this? ```void Jump()
{
Vector3 mousePosition = Camera.main.ScreenToWorldPoint(Input.mousePosition);
mousePosition.z = 0;
Vector2 direction = (mousePosition - transform.position).normalized;
float appliedForce = Mathf.Lerp(minJumpForce, maxJumpForce, Mathf.Clamp01(holdTime / maxHoldTime));
rb.AddForce(direction * appliedForce, ForceMode2D.Impulse);
}

[swift crag]

or you can do mousePosition.z = transform.position.z, in case the player isn't at Z=0

[vernal thorn]

The player is at z=0

ok thank you so much

It works perfectly

[upper forge]

I want this flame thing to only show when i press W, how could i do this?

[rich adder]

GetKeyDown SetActive true
GetKeyUp SetActive false

you need a reference to the object first ofc

though if its a particle system you can just call play/stop

[upper forge]

using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;

public class showFlame : MonoBehaviour
{
    // Start is called before the first frame update
    void Start()
    {
        gameObject.SetActive(false);
    }

    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update()
    {
        if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.W))
        {
            gameObject.SetActive(true);
        }
    }
}
``` i did this, but it doesnt work, for some reason

[tall torrent]

how can I create a looking around feature for my character

[upper forge]

first person?

[tall torrent]

Iv already programmed a wasd movement system

[tall torrent]

Yes

[upper forge]

do you want a clamp on it

[languid spire]

did you attach the script to a gameobject in the scene?

[upper forge]

yeah its attached

it just doesnt show at all, assuming because of the Start() function?

[compact nymph]

Does anyone know an easy way to check if all items in a list are active and return something as true if they are?

[tall torrent]

whats a clamp?

[languid spire]

nope, as soon as you press W the gameobject is active

[upper forge]

limits their movement on the X a Y axis

[upper forge]

so in theory, its meant to work

[tall torrent]

Yeah sure, i can always configure it later.

[languid spire]

yep, GetKeyDown would be better though

[upper forge]

whats the difference?

[rich adder]

this will only activate it once though

[languid spire]

down is a one off, GekKey is repeating. Remember what I said about the docs?

[rich adder]

actually this script wont work at all

gameObject is set to Active false, Update doesn't run

[upper forge]

yep mb

[languid spire]

true

[rich adder]

first you need a proper reference to the Flame object.. this is disabling the current object script is on

[upper forge]

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

public class showFlame : MonoBehaviour
{
    public GameObject flame;
    void Start()
    {
    }

    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update()
    {
        if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.W))
        {
            flame.SetActive(true);
        }
        else
        {
            flame.SetActive(false);
        }
    }
}

i've changed it to that

[rich adder]

that should work

assuming you assigned flame in the inspector

[tall torrent]

also, for some reason my character just floats up into the air, it was working perfectly fine earlier for some reason

[upper forge]

might make it a bt better 🤷‍♂️

[upper forge]

provide code

[tall torrent]

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

public class PlayerMovmentScript : MonoBehaviour
{

    public float movementSpeed = 15f;

    void Update()
    {
        if (Input.GetKey("w"))
        {
            transform.Translate(Vector3.forward * movementSpeed * Time.deltaTime);
        }

        if (Input.GetKey("s"))
        {
            transform.Translate(Vector3.back * movementSpeed * Time.deltaTime);
        }

        if (Input.GetKey("a"))
        {
            transform.Translate(Vector3.left * movementSpeed * Time.deltaTime);
        }

        if (Input.GetKey("d"))
        {
            transform.Translate(Vector3.right * movementSpeed * Time.deltaTime);
        }




    }
}

[upper forge]

yes i have, still doesnt work

[rich adder]

show me which object you put it on

[upper forge]

the one that is hilighted

[rich adder]

show me the inspector

[rich adder]

so you're putting script on an object that disable itself and u want update to run after ?

[polar acorn]

So then any time you ever are not holding W, this object disables forever

Because it would be disabled, and therefore unable to run update to re-enable itself

[rich adder]

ShowFlame goes on the root object, not the one being disabled

[upper forge]

should i make it into a prefab, and then add the script to a gamobject?

[rich adder]

how did you get that out of that

lordy

[upper forge]

what?

[rich adder]

here i spelled it out for you
#💻┃code-beginner message

no idea how you got that thought from what digi said

[polar acorn]

You should put the script somewhere else

[upper forge]

oop

okay

[dense root]

Anyone use Vim/Neovim with Unity as their editor?

[void thicket]

Well I'm using IdeaVim with Rider

[upper forge]

i put it onto a empty gameObject and then added the flame onto the Flame object, works now, thanks @rich adder @polar acorn

[tall torrent]

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

public class PlayerMovmentScript : MonoBehaviour
{

    public float movementSpeed = 15f;

    void Update()
    {
        if (Input.GetKey("w"))
        {
            transform.Translate(Vector3.forward * movementSpeed * Time.deltaTime);
        }

        if (Input.GetKey("s"))
        {
            transform.Translate(Vector3.back * movementSpeed * Time.deltaTime);
        }

        if (Input.GetKey("a"))
        {
            transform.Translate(Vector3.left * movementSpeed * Time.deltaTime);
        }

        if (Input.GetKey("d"))
        {
            transform.Translate(Vector3.right * movementSpeed * Time.deltaTime);
        }




    }
}

for some reason this makes my character object float into the air, any suggestions on why?

[rich adder]

I mean sure that works, but you could've easily just added it to the Ship object lol

[dense root]

Do you have a RigidBody attached?

[tall torrent]

Yep

[swift sedge]

a Rigidbody wont change anything

[rich adder]

the rigidbody is floating if its not constraint locked, collided with something and has no gravity

[rocky canyon]

weeeee

and its more of a question... he said he has a rigidbody.. w/ is helpful b/c hes using translation for movement..

not rigidbody forces

[dense root]

Care to show the inspector?

[hardy vortex]

hey, I have a question, I'm trying to change multiple gameobjects all having their own textfields from a single gamecontroler gameobject having a single script. how do I go about doing this?

how do I reference the gameobject in the inspector, everything I have tried so far is giving me errors

[rocky canyon]

well if he's wanting to change text he might be better to make a list of TMP_Text objects intead

to save a bit of trouble of grabbing the component from every object

[swift crag]

you should always try to use the most specific type possible

[rocky canyon]

public TMP_Text[] textObjs;
        
foreach (TMP_Text textObj in textObjs)
{
   textObj.text = "Hello";
}```

[hardy vortex]

Im getting this error?

[swift crag]

your IDE should be suggesting a fix

[willow scroll]

textObjs.ToList().ForEach(t => t.SetText("Hello")) 😎

[sullen wraith]

Hello. I get this error when calling and already instantiated gameobject with obj.getComponent<LineScript>() ;

its a prefab with a script attached to it. See the image below.
I am missing someting ? Help appreciated 🙂

[dense root]

What does locking the inspector window do?

[languid spire]

not even the right game object. Read the error message

[brave compass]

You can have multiple Inspector windows/tabs open. Locking one will let you select different objects in different windows.

[sullen wraith]

not sure what you mean, it comes from that line

[languid spire]

I think not
LinkManager.UpdateLineAndNodePositions (UnityEngine.GameObject obj1, UnityEngine.GameObject obj2) (at Assets/Scripts/LinkManager.cs:49)

[dense root]

Oh I see, so if I lock one I can keep that particular inspector window open

[dense root]

While navigating to other inspector windows

[sullen wraith]

hmmm, but the objects are not null at line 46-47

unless....

jeeez

[languid spire]

obviously link1 does not have that component

[void thicket]

You're generating surprisingly many string with that code

[sullen wraith]

How so? 😛

[void thicket]

GameObject.name creates new string every time you access

[sullen wraith]

Btw i found the error, thank you for being my rubber duck 😄 🦆

[void thicket]

One of the cursed properties Unity has

[sullen wraith]

fuuuuuuuuu, really?

thats kinda dumb

[void thicket]

Beacuse it's actually saved in C++ side and needs to allocate when you use in C# side

[sullen wraith]

i give all my objects GUID, time to read the docs then...

[swift sedge]

every dumb thing has a reason that outweighs the dumbness

[sullen wraith]

Should i use tags then or can i somehow get a reference that the compiler gives the object?

[void thicket]

GameObject.tag also does the same

But you can use GameObject.CompareTag to not allocate

Tags suck tho

[slender nymph]

what is the actual purpose of that comparison?

[languid spire]

or compare instanceID

[swift sedge]

one reason why people use that instead of the property

[void thicket]

Only reason really

[sullen wraith]

i need to find the object i select from a list.

[slender nymph]

if it is in the list already, why do you need to find it in the list

[void thicket]

Are they actually different object with same name? 😄

[sullen wraith]

i could also just use var link_1 = linkObjectList.Find(obj => obj == obj1); but i like to give my objects IDs

😄

[void thicket]

If you can do that..

[slender nymph]

this is pointless

[void thicket]

var link_1 = obj1

[sullen wraith]

good with extra lines of code. Then i can sell it for more on steam

[slender nymph]

instead of shitposting, you should provide an actual response so that your misunderstanding of what is happening can be corrected

[swift sedge]

ummmm... what?

[sullen wraith]

thats not so friendly...

[swift sedge]

I'm sure people care about performance more than extra code

[dense root]

Hmm I cannot detect what would be causing your player to float

[slender nymph]

i genuinely cannot tell if this person is making a poor attempt at trolling or not

[dense root]

I am trying to transpose these setters and getters however I am running into method must have a return type error. Yet in the original script it works just fine without one. Thoughts on where I went wrong?

[latent sedge]

Where is the best place to learn to read and write C#? It's hard to explain, but i'm not looking to understand what "GetComponent" does, i want to know why "<>" follow it. I understand what all the functions and methods do, i simply don't know when to write parathesis or less than symbols?

[void thicket]

Are you making constructor

[rocky canyon]

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/tour-of-csharp/ best place is str8 from the source

and !learn

[eternal falcon]

:teacher: Unity Learn ↗

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

[dense root]

I believe so, yes

[rocky canyon]

is ur IDE configured?

[latent sedge]

Most of these tutorials go into what the methods and stuff do. I know what variables and stuff are, i just dont understand the punctuation within the language itself.

[rocky canyon]

even if u dont know when to use <> or () etc.. a configured IDE should autocomplete and guide u to correct syntax

[void thicket]

Constructor should have same name as the class

[rocky canyon]

syntax is the terminology ur looking for

[dense root]

Oh thank you so much

[latent sedge]

Thank you! Yes, the syntax. Should i simply rely on the autocomplete? That feels like it's going to catch up with me at some point

[rocky canyon]

it'll help know when to use what.. but you should still supplement that with learning thru some of the sources i posted

[latent sedge]

I'd like to understand WHY they are there so i can understand when to use them

[rocky canyon]

and in the pinned sections

<> is related to Generics

its basically allows u to define classes, methods, and wha-not that can operate on any data type

<DataType>

that way getcomponent can grab a Rigidbody.. or it can grab a Transform.. or w/e

public T GetComponent<T>()
{
    // Method implementation
}
``` for example

this would be the function ur referencing.. where it can handle any Component type you pass into it

[latent sedge]

GetComponent<SpriteRenderer>().color

this line of code is absolutely baffling me. It uses all 3 syntax methods and i have no idea why they are used seperately of each other. What are the parenthesis used for in this scenario?

GameObject.Find("Player")

This line seems like it would be comparable to GetComponent, but instead of "<>", a "." is used?

[void thicket]

Then you do need to learn C#

[rocky canyon]

ya, its a bit of an explaination.. i could summarize it for you but that wouldn't help you understand it much better

the () are there.. b/c the method takes no parameteres..

but its part of the syntax and has to be included

[languid spire]

it's pretty simple really
GetComponent is a method like Find is a method. methods are called with none or more parameters which are encased in ().
<> is passing a type for a generic method. for the explanation of that read the docs

[rocky canyon]

^ thas a pretty short and sweet explaination

when u use GameObject.Find() its a method that returns a gameobject.. u dont need to tell it a type..

but the GetComponent can be called on multiple types..

it needs to know what to return..

so thats why it has the extra <Type>

[vernal thorn]

How too add a "trail" too where the player is jumping too?

[latent sedge]

Ohhhhhhhhh! Okay! So <> is used to specify a certain part of something. This isn't always necessary like in the case of "GameObject.Find()" because GameObject is specific enough that it doesn't need further clarification?

[rocky canyon]

ya Find() is a function within the GameObject class..

it knows to return a GameObject

[languid spire]

close enough

[rocky canyon]

but GetComponent could be anything

[latent sedge]

And GetComponent could refer to any number of components

I see!

[rocky canyon]

soo u need to pass in a type for it to change its return type

dont want GetComponent<Rigidbody> returning a Box Collider for no reason

when i was learning the . was the best thing i learned about..

[summer stump]

<T> refers to the components TYPE
Type is the "name" of the class.
public class MyScript : MonoBehaviour

GetComponent<MyScript>()

It has to inherit from the component class to work (which MonoBehaviour does, and all the things you add to a gameobject do)

[rocky canyon]

ohh i want to access a property of a component.. its component.thingyIwant

a lot of stuff in Unity i still chaulk up to being "magic"

all i needs to know is how to execute that magic

[latent sedge]

I suppose im still a little confused why "<>" are used instead of "." since in my experience "." is simply used to specify further... But now at least i know when at least one is needed.

Why wouldn't GetComponent.Rigidbody work?

[swift sedge]

It's called a constructor. Every class has an optional constructor and destructor which is a special method that has no return type and gets called when the class gets instantiated... and deleted, which is done automatically. The original class is fine because that is the constructor of the class, however, the other "constructor" is not fine because the class is not named "Move", which is where the compiler thinks that it should be a "normal" method, and thus must have a return type.

This is the beauty of statically typed languages :)

[rocky canyon]

b/c GetComponent doesn't have a property called Rigidbody

[summer stump]

Dot Notation accesses members from the object to the left of the dot. GetComponent is a method, not an object. It contains no members. <> allows generics to be used, meaning it can be any type within set limits (which is that it must inherit from component)

[rocky canyon]

If you wrote GetComponent.Rigidbody, it would imply that GetComponent has a member named Rigidbody, which is not the case. Instead, GetComponent<T>() uses generics to specify the type you want to retrieve. . .

[rocky canyon]

TIL its called Dot Notation 🙂

honestly a good question for a beginner.. its more thought out than lots of hte questions i come across lol

[swift sedge]

very creative :D

[summer stump]

Agreed. This is a good thing to be asking

[rocky canyon]

intellisense and autocomplete ruined me

it just works ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[summer stump]

Inb4 steve says it ruins everyone

[swift sedge]

i swear visual studio is magic

[rocky canyon]

i use VSCode now..

w/ AI extensions

its terrIble now.. i can type a class name and a few variables.. and boom

it wants to fill in my entire script

[languid spire]

damn, but so very, very true

[rocky canyon]

i did my time in notepad before css was even a thing

i deserve the relaxation!

[languid spire]

true. but you first pay the dues, then you get the benefit

[latent sedge]

I think i understand

Thank you :)

[rocky canyon]

sometimes u cant force it.. just expose urself to it.. and it'll click eventually

[latent sedge]

Would you guys reccomend AI integration and stuff for a beginner?

[rocky canyon]

absoultely not

[latent sedge]

Ah fiddlesticks

[rocky canyon]

as a beginner u can't point out errors... or even find when it goes off track

before u know it u have spaghetti that no one wants to touch

[latent sedge]

Well im learning to code for funsies, idk if anyone will ever see my code but me

[summer stump]

We may or may not be thinking of some specific examples for that

[rocky canyon]

once u start learning how to code im not anti-ai

its super helpful for some things... like refactoring code..

[latent sedge]

But if its making errors then i could see how that may be an issue

[rocky canyon]

or writting long boring boilerplate

[rocky canyon]

it does..

very often

even has a disclaimer w/ most of em lmao

just use ur own discretion

[latent sedge]

Yeah thank you for listening to me btw! I usually use ChatGPT but this question was too confusing and difficult to word for an AI to understand what i was asking

[rocky canyon]

plus chatgpt is a yes man..

i hate that.. lol

[latent sedge]

idk how i feel about defiant and rebellious AI

Thats how you get terminator'd

[summer stump]

That's a good point. The benefit of asking here is people will tell you that what you want to do is dumb and suggest a better way

What did I do wrong? How come it's missing a referencee?

[rich adder]

oh its back.

well do you have a type named ElementType

[dense root]

I think so, yeah

[rich adder]

where did you define it ?

[dense root]

I thought it was defined in my base

[rich adder]

according to your IDE it doesn't exist, unless you are missing the namespace if you used those or another assembly?

[dense root]

I don't know how to use another assembly so that might not be it

[summer stump]

Private cannot he used by a child

[languid spire]

just show where you define a type ElementType

[rich adder]

You then never made the ElementType 🤷‍♂️

    public HiraganaMoveBase Base

        get { return hiraganaMoveBase; }
    }
}

[deft grail]

nothing here i think

but in the HiraganaMoveBase class

[dense root]

This is the base class

https://gdl.space/ixojisejem.cs

your list is a List<LearnableMove> which is, notably, not a list of LearnableHiraganaMove

those classes aren't even related

Thank you so much!

[rocky basalt]

Having a strange problem, Dictionary.ContainsKey is not working I think.
I have a Dictionary of crafting recipes defined like so:

static readonly Dictionary<ItemType[], ItemType[]> craftingRecipes = new Dictionary<ItemType[], ItemType[]>
{
    {new ItemType[3]{ItemType.Rope, ItemType.Stone, ItemType.Stick}, new ItemType[1]{ItemType.Axe}}
};```
And later code to check if a provided recipe exists
```cs
void CraftRecipe(CraftingQuery craftingQuery)
{
    Debug.Log("breakpoint");
    if (craftingRecipes.ContainsKey(craftingQuery.recipe))
    {```
And I'm *sure* that the recipe I'm providing exists in the dictionary, as shown in the pictures, but the if statement is returning false.

[slender nymph]

you're using an array as the key. it's not checking the contents of the array, it is checking the reference. so when you check if it contains the key and you pass a different array object that just happens to have the same elements, it is going to return false because it is not the same array object

[rocky basalt]

Ohhhh

Any ideas for a workaround?

Maybe tuples?

[slender nymph]

create a struct that holds a list of ItemType, and override GetHashCode on that struct to combine the hashes of the list elements or something 🤷‍♂️

[rocky basalt]

Hmm okay, I'll see what I can do. Thanks 🫡

[vast ivy]

can someone help me reference this child image named "Crosshair" under the canvas "defaultCanvas"?

I tried to put in a variable but I think something is wrong: public GameObject crosshair = defaultCanvas.transform.Find("Crosshair").gameObject;

error: error CS0236: A field initializer cannot reference the non-static field, method, or property 'MyFirstPersonController.defaultCanvas'

[deft grail]

you need to run that code in Start or elsewhere

you cant do it where you actually make the variable

also if you can, just drag it in the inspector

[slender nymph]

assigning it via the inspector is the best option

[vast ivy]

ok so I just assign it as a gameobject in the inspector then I can set it to active or whatever

[deft grail]

yes

[vast ivy]

alright thxs

[final kestrel]

Can you serialize scriptable objects to store them as json?

[dense root]

Shoot where did I go wrong here?

[deft grail]

your adding a different Type to the list

[slender nymph]

i'm guessing that HiraganaMoveBase does not inherit from MoveBase despite the name implying that it does

just like how LearnableHiraganaMove did not inherit from LearnableMove

[dense root]

Hmm let me do some digging

    [SerializeField] HiraganaMoveBase hiraganaMoveBase;
    [SerializeField] int level;

    public HiraganaMoveBase Base
    {
        get { return hiraganaMoveBase; }
    }

    public int Level
    {
        get { return level; }
    }
}

Did I declare something wrong in this HiraganaBase script?

[slender nymph]

this is not the HiraganaMoveBase class, nor is it the HiraganaMove class

[dense root]

Here's my HiraganaMove class

public class HiraganaMove
{
    public MoveBase Base { get; set; }
    public int PP { get; set; }

    public HiraganaMove(MoveBase pBase)
    {
        Base = pBase;
        PP = pBase.PP;
    }
}

Sorry I'm new to constructors so I really appreciate this

[slender nymph]

notice how your constructor expects a MoveBase parameter

[dense root]

Omg thank you so much

[slender nymph]

you really need to start reading your own code

[flint python]

Hello, I have a function, used in different script of different game objects, but I don't want to copy past this function to every script, is it a good idea to create a static class, i.e static public class Functions, and call the function Functions.MyFunction() in any script? Don’t want to use gameobject.find

Or there is alternative way to do this in unity?

[rich adder]

what does the function do? how many scripts use it

you can't use any other fields in that function unless the fields are also static, its get messy

another option is to use a static instance of a regular MB instead , to access its methods easily those are best suited for like game managers and alike though

[wintry quarry]

Hard to say without knowing the context of the function and what information it needs to do its job

[flint python]

for example this function, i ll call the function Functions.FindAvailableGameObjectFromList() in any other script if I needed, and is there an alternative way to do this, without using static and gameObject.find().getcomponent.FindAvailableGameObjectFromList()?

[rich adder]

Unity already have functions like this built in

FindObjectsOfType etc.

[flint python]

currently static is giving me issue, when two scripts calling the function at about the same time, it messes up the value

[rich adder]

huh mess up the value how ?

[narrow escarp]

@rich adder hey can u help me with smtng

[rich adder]

huh?

[narrow escarp]

i'm having a problem with a 2D AIM

system

[rich adder]

what about it?

also next time don't @ someone not in active convo / helping

[narrow escarp]

ayight my bad

[narrow escarp]

i'm having a trouble to make the bones following the gun when i aim

[rich adder]

well I know nothing of your setup , I can't possibly know what it is

[narrow escarp]

can i stream f y

in the ChangeAnimationState() function, I swap animation state using .Play(), between enemyActive and enemyDied, from the console, you can see a hash that is not belong to enemyActive nor enemyDied

So like when you want to use the same function in different script, but you don’t want to duplicate the code

[rich adder]

that explained nothing of what that function is *supposed * to do

this smells like an XY issue

[rich adder]

so what controls the bones exactly ?

[rich adder]

o haven't used the 2D ik package yet

is your right hand target not paranted to the gun ?

[narrow escarp]

i put the gun inside the Rbicep

[rich adder]

so which one is not following

have to show the video or I can't tell whats even happening instead

[narrow escarp]

wait i'll make avideo

the left arm ain't reaching the gun position

and the flickering thing

i created a new animator layer

with shooting animation

holding the gun

and in the script i switch the weight to 1 when i aim

[rich adder]

which one controls the chest IK. I have to brushen up on 2D IK since I've only done the 3D one

[narrow escarp]

what u mean by which one controls

the chest ik

[narrow escarp]

bone spine 1

[rich adder]

thats probably the one you want aiming at the Aim target instead of rotating the hands that already hold pistol

[narrow escarp]

so what i'm gonna do

the bones r aiming towards the cursor actually

this is the aim animation

[rich adder]

yeah you probably dont want to aim alll thse bones though

[narrow escarp]

there's any way to rotate the arms

[rich adder]

you need a root bone that rotates multiple bones

Ie both arms inside 1 common parent and rotate that

[narrow escarp]

like that

[rich adder]

yeah but you probably just want to do the spine2 bone

[narrow escarp]

didn't understand

[dusty ember]

If art school says nein, then the world is mein

[rich adder]

spine / chest bones moves both arms

[narrow escarp]

when i rotate the chest

everything glitch out

[rich adder]

Ill try to see how 2D IK work and report back

[narrow escarp]

thank y

[grizzled fulcrum]

So my player has a script that allows him to pick up specific objects by holding E, but I think it's making trouble with other scripts, and preventing them from working. I have another script that is as simple as "If this object overlaps with another of a specific tag, an inactive object is enabled", and it doesn't work when the two are clearly overlapped. Can anyone spot anything here that might be the prob?

The code for the box mechanic is this one
https://gdl.space/xuxowurige.cs

And here's the simple one that's just for the empty box detection

using UnityEngine;

public class PortaPainelSolar : MonoBehaviour
{
    public GameObject objectToActivate;

    private void OnTriggerEnter2D(Collider2D collision)
    {
        if (collision.gameObject.CompareTag("LuzSolar"))
        {
            if (objectToActivate != null)
            {
                objectToActivate.SetActive(true);
            }
        }
    }
}

I tried dding debug logs to find out the issue, and for some reason he is not detecting when it collides with the other object with the specific tag

Could it perhaps be an issue with how he picks up the box?

[valid roost]

Hiya, basically I have implemented a script that made sure, whenever my player touched the wall while jumping, my player wouldn't get stuck to the wall instead the falling animation would commence and the player would cease any movement until i moved in the opposite direction but after i implemented it and started the program again my character just gets stuck in one spot.

Here is my script

[queen adder]

is there a way i can access an object from code just code no assigning through a variable?

[void thicket]

GameObject.Find... 😄

[queen adder]

ima be honest

i asked chatgpt and it worked

thanks anyway though

[void thicket]

What did GPT say

[queen adder]

i asked it the same question

and it gave me find gameobject options

sorta like you did

in this case i did by type

which was an audio source

[void thicket]

Yeah those are not the best performance but if you don't want inspector there are not much options

[queen adder]

well i was trying to assign it to a prefab

but while it was a prefab

it said the type was wrong'

but when i inserted the prefab and manually assigned it it worked

[void thicket]

Hm probably something was wrong in the process

Well it works then it works

[queen adder]

now i can hear a clunk sound with all of my bread 🙂

[shy ruin]

The LoadData method gets called when scene starts, and then it calls the DelayedPositionChange method. This waits a bit and then sets the position of the player and rotation of the camera. For some reason, the rotation of the camera will not be set. I printed out the rotation in the data object and it was correct, but it seems the rotation of the camera holder cannot be set at start! Why is this?

[rich adder]

do you have something else setting rotation ?

[void thicket]

What is setting CameraHolder and what is calling SaveData?

[shy ruin]

I've just fixed it myself, sorry. I had a variable as a Vector2 that was 2 floats that stored the rotations in floats, just had to change it to a vector 2 in my save class.

It was being overridden.

[rich adder]

ur saving the euler angles ?

cause rotation is a quaternion

[shy ruin]

I have a Vector2 called, camera rotation, it stores the X and Y rotation of the camera.

I don't need the Z

When you move your mouse it does cameraRotatio.X + mouseX value

So, it started off at 0,0 and I had to just change it

[rich adder]

im hella confused

you're saving quaternions

[shy ruin]

No

Not anymore

[rich adder]

oh ok

[dense root]

Has anyone tinkered with GitHub Copilot with Unity scripting? Any thoughts on it?

[rich adder]

[shy ruin]

Not worth it, I've tried.

[stuck palm]

is there an early update?

theres a late one

[rich adder]

not really

You could probably put it in another update and put the Order of script sooner on that one
https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/class-MonoManager.html

idk what you're trying to accomplish with a "pre/early update"

[void thicket]

This frame's late update is next frame's early update 😄

[summer stump]

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

[stuck palm]

was kinda just a hypothetical qustion 😅

[void thicket]

There is a hidden attribute too

DefaultExecutionOrderAttribute

[stuck palm]

what are the benefits between using a hashset and a list?

[solid rampart]

Is there a way to make a dictionary that is accessible by all objects without needing to be created on an object?
I think that it would have something to do with classes, but I'm not really sure. Any help would be appreciated.

[void thicket]

HashSet does not allow duplications and does not maintain order

[stuck palm]

i see

u cant serialise a hashset though, annoyingly

[rich adder]

nope

[summer stump]

Not by default at least

[void thicket]

Can't Unity-serialize ™️

[stuck palm]

odin inspector probably could

[rich adder]

always wondered, why can't decimals be serialized in the inspector

[stuck palm]

but i've had severe perforamnce issues with that installed

[stuck palm]

theyu cant??

i dont use them but

[void thicket]

What are you trying to do with that dictionary? Are you looking for some kind of singleton object that shared across entire game?

[summer stump]

It can. Not just that though

[rich adder]

yeah had to just use floats :\

[solid rampart]

I want to store all of my terrain info inside of it.

[void thicket]

You can use static variable for that, but mind that it is not really expandable way

[solid rampart]

Alright, I'll give that a try, thank you.

[rich adder]

put it on a scriptable object 🙂

[void thicket]

Noooooo

[solid rampart]

That'll be my fallback yeah, but I'd rather not have a bunch of objects that just exist as references for other objects.

[rich adder]

if it was a list I'd say do so, but cant even serialize dictionary anyway so keep it static

[void thicket]

For context is this something that changes on runtime?

[solid rampart]

Yes, it will change when more terrain is generated.

[void thicket]

I see then I think static should be fine, you might need to handle cleanup tho

[rich adder]

if you're like me and also use domain reload off be careful
all the sudden your dictionary has thousands of entries xD

[solid rampart]

Alright, sounds good, I'm just researching static variables right now, since I very seldom use them, but thanks for the help.

[shy ruin]

How do I stop a memory leak (if that is what it is), I accidently started an infinite loop and now even when the game isn't running I'm getting errors!

[zenith cypress]

Restart the editor

[shy ruin]

I've already fixed the code but it is still leaking something.

Thanks

[dim wharf]

how do I disable those gray text suggestions?

Tried googling but idk what they're called in the first place

[summer stump]

I recommend avoiding youtube

https://www.w3schools.com/cs/index.php

[vast ivy]

even if you're not watching tutorials on your problem and just watching lessons on coding in general?

like learning how to do lists or dicts?

[summer stump]

Yes

[vast ivy]

can i ask why u think so? not saying ur wrong just curious

[summer stump]

Because it doesn't teach you to read docs like text lessons do. The one I linked has you do tests and interact. And youtube vids are just generally not great

[vast ivy]

Yea I guess thats fair, its important you know how to read through the docs

[summer stump]

Plus people generally end up watching brackeys or code moneky or someone else that has a good personality and gets monitized but is not great

[summer stump]

You didn't say what ide, but here

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/70011719/visual-studio-2022-turn-off-grey-suggestions

[dim wharf]

oh vscode but thanks

[rich adder]

thats the intellicode suggestions

[dim wharf]

ohhh intellicode

[rich adder]

disable the extension

[dim wharf]

cause intellisense would clear other things I use as well

[rich adder]

intellisense is more like the star on variables or your most likely to use method/field from class you referenced

[tacit pumice]

On the install thing it says to use something called “Console App (NET.CORE)” but all I can find is “(NET.framework)” I thought I followed the steps correctly

[dim wharf]

thanks

never knew it was AI

so thats why it spits out nonsense 60% of the time

[rich adder]

yeah it was broken on VSCode for a while

the one on Visual Studio is far superior

but at the end of the day is just fancy "autocomplete"

[summer stump]

It's just for practicing. Any console one is fine

[dim wharf]

it really is

[rich adder]

they also have online compiler you can practice on

like the one on their site, microsoft has one too or Dotnet fiddle

I have 2 different canvas' here and Im sure theres a better way to do this. Currently I have "Default" canvas which holds crosshair, 3 sliders, and hotbar. On the "Inventory" canvas it holds a copy of the 3 sliders, copy of hotbar, inventory slots, avatar holder, and armor slots. Just copying these elements into the other canvas makes me put multiple copied lines which do basically the same thing because I have to then update the slider values and text values on both canvas'. Would it be better to put them both on 1 canvas and toggle the gray background along with the other elements? I made 2 canvas' because I only needed the background on the inventory one

This works fine but I feel like I prob shouldnt have just copied the elements over and copied some lines of code to make sure both were updated

might bring up problems when I actually implement inventory because I would then be writing 2x the code

actually yea I figured out a better way I think

[timber tide]

you'd write the same amount of code no matter the amount of canvas

do you want two or one is up to you

[vast ivy]

I just remade it, Ill show u the code I had vs what I have now..

// AFTER CHANGE
    public Slider healthSlider;
    public Slider chargeSlider;
    public Slider usabilitySlider;

    public TMP_Text chargeText;

// BEFORE CHANGE
    public Slider healthSlider;
    public Slider invHealthSlider;
    public Slider chargeSlider;
    public Slider invChargeSlider;
    public Slider usabilitySlider;
    public Slider invUsabilitySlider;

    public TMP_Text chargeText;
    public TMP_Text invChargeText;

I moved the components of the 2 views together onto 1 canvas and just set the inventory to toggle and made sure the background was in the right position

this was just the variables but I had more lines where I was changing the same thing just on 2 different canvas'

[tacit pumice]

Is there one you recommend

[fringe plover]

Idk if its unity bug or not, but when i try to instantiate something null, it creates infinity ammount of objects from other list in script and soft locks editor

I cant even look in Console what causes this

And i have to stop editor trough task manager

Break with the debugger.

[fringe plover]

debugger?

[teal viper]

Yes.

(You can like have a thought before hitting enter)

[summer stump]

Just clearly state what you want, preferably in one message

Is it when the game ends you want to stop adding to the score?

[twilit sundial]

correct!

mate im so new

[summer stump]

if (gameOver) return;

[twilit sundial]

its impossible to word this

in what script

[summer stump]

In gameOver() set gameOver to true

[viral shadow]

I tried that but it still remains stationary

[summer stump]

Well addscore of course

[twilit sundial]

of course!

[viral shadow]

mainMenuTitle.color = Color.HSVToRGB(bgCamPartyHue % 1, pulseColor * 10, 1f);
mainMenuTitle.outlineColor = Color.HSVToRGB(bgCamPartyHue % 1, pulseColor * 10, 0.45f);

I know pulseColor is working because the color of the text is changing

but the outline doesn't

i honestly don't know what im doing wrong

[twilit sundial]

nah sorry you're gonna have to be a bit mroe specific there please

in where i put it

oh i get it

wait so it ends that function

Holy MOLY!

[drifting onyx]

can anyone help me with making hipfire sway system just like Insurgency Sandstorm?

[charred spoke]

That is a very broad question. To get help you would need to start things off and ask about specific problems

[drifting onyx]

I did but really didnt understand much I researched about it and asked chatGPT but couldnt find anything close to what I want

[viral shadow]

soo does anyone know how to help?

[charred spoke]

I doubt you will find a step by step tutorial to do exactly the specific mechanic you want. Think about the problem and break it down into smaller logical pieces. Then start researching the individual pieces.

[drifting onyx]

I really didnt find any step tutorial like that I find sway and I did it already but I want the weapon to look different directions and not just middle of the screen when I move the mouse

like insurgency sandstorm

[charred spoke]

Please read what I wrote again 😃

[drifting onyx]

but I didnt found any

[eternal needle]

Read what they wrote again, this time slowly.

[charred spoke]

Read it just one more time please

[drifting onyx]

maybe I am not understanding because its 10 AM and I didnt sleep

[charred spoke]

Then get some sleep. A rested brain is the first thing you need to program

[frank zodiac]

what does get; private set; do?

[gaunt cosmos]

makes property accessible globally but can be assigned to only locally

[bright violet]

I'm having kind of a weird tricky problem:

I'm trying to set up a character controller + third person camera, the camera is a child of the playerGO and is a cinemachine camera with Look At and Follow set to an empty sitting on my playerGO , that rotates according to player input. My inspiration for this camera setup is something like what Genshin Impact got, where the camera doesn't rotate based on where the player faces, but the rotation axis of the player changes based on camera direction. I got the latter working, but i can't get the player to look at any direction cause then the camera changes rotation too. I can't have the camera as a separate object cause I'm on netcode and it would be an hassle to do so. Any ideas?

[vernal thorn]

How can i make that it isnt slippery?

{
    Vector3 mousePosition = Camera.main.ScreenToWorldPoint(Input.mousePosition);
    mousePosition.z = 0;
    Vector2 direction = (mousePosition - transform.position).normalized;
    float appliedForce = Mathf.Lerp(minJumpForce, maxJumpForce, Mathf.Clamp01(holdTime / maxHoldTime));
    rb.AddForce(direction * appliedForce, ForceMode2D.Impulse);
}```

[languid spire]

Maybe add a grounded check and kill the velocity when it's true

[vernal thorn]

ok thanks 🐀

[willow scroll]

You can also change the friction of the ground

[static cedar]

There's a thing called physics material 2D, both colliders and rigidbodies may use it.
You can also use it to chance the bounciness.

[willow scroll]

Also https://gdl.space/epabaqugun.cpp

You can use Vector2s

[vernal thorn]

doesnt work because now i cant jump (atleast idk how)

[willow scroll]

Because you have done it wrong enough

When you just, update a boolean isJumping.

[languid spire]

then you implemented it incorrectly. You only need check it whilst you are already in the air

[willow scroll]

So start the Jump method and set isJumping to true. Then, when isGrounded and isJumping, don't call Jump anymore

[vagrant zealot]

hey! i have 2 different scenes, but i want to protect my character's stats, also things like the health bar and coin count. How can i achieve that between my scenes ?

[languid spire]

use Dont Destroy On Load objects

[vagrant zealot]

resetting my character's coin count and resetting health is not an issue, it wont be problem but i always want to see the health bar and the coin ui

[vagrant zealot]

what does that mean ? is it works like when the scene changes some object will not be destroyed ?

[languid spire]

yes, I suggest you go and read the docs

[vagrant zealot]

thanks

[blazing flicker]

Use PlayerPhysics

[vernal thorn]

thank you it works now : )

how too make that it isnt glitchy? (jump at the end)

[languid spire]

Does not look' glitchy' to me. Define 'glitchy'

[vernal thorn]

i mean that the player jumps a bit high instantly when hitting edges

[languid spire]

I see it now, that is an artifact of the physics system. Again you can cure that by killing velocity oncollision enter

[vernal thorn]

like that?

{
    if (other.gameObject.CompareTag("Boden") && inair)
    {
        inair = false;
        rb.velocity = Vector2.zero;
    }
}```

[languid spire]

may be better to set a flag and do that in FixedUpdate

[vernal thorn]

ok

[languid spire]

your other option is to use the physics materials and set bounciness to none if, that is a general behaviour you want

[vernal thorn]

didnt work

[vernal thorn]

didnt work too : (

i have a movement code and the rotate to where the mouse position is code, but the movement gets affected when i move around my mouse, i want it so if my spaceship is looking to the left and i press W, i still want it to go up instead of it going left, how could i do this?

[bright violet]

Is there a way to not make a child object inherit the parent's rotation?

[languid spire]

you probably want to be using transfor.up, right etc rather than Vector3. but tbh your code makes little sense

[languid spire]

dont make it a child

[verbal dome]

Update its rotation manually from a script every frame

Thats a bit unusual though

[bright violet]

..yes, but having it a child would make my life so much easier. I have a per player camera in my (networked) game, and having it spawn along with my characters would make my life so much easier

[languid spire]

try this
Empty Object / Apply movement here
Child1 //Apply Rotation here
Child2 // No Rotation

[bright violet]

in a way i'm kind of doing that already, but it glitches in and out at times

[upper forge]

how would i do left and down

negative?

[languid spire]

yes

[upper forge]

whats the difference between them?

[languid spire]

one is world space, the other is local space

[verbal dome]

How are you doing it

Execution order matters here. Nothing else should rotate the parent after you update the child rotation each frame

[bright violet]

My current setup is:

Parent // movement logic
Child #1 // aimPoint of my camera, which is an empty that rotates on input
Child #2 // empty with a camera as a child that is set to Follow/Look at the Child #1 that rotates.

If i turn my parent object, the aimPoint rotates along with it making the camera rotate too.

[languid spire]

so move the rotate logic to Child 1 as per my example

[bright violet]

my aimPoint 's rotation is updating from player input in update, and aimPoint's parent object (the player object) rotates it's transform based on WASD so aimPoint's rotation ends up switching from the player input rotation to the one overlapped by the parent's rotation

[bright violet]

got it, i'll try

[bright violet]

[stuck crest]

hello guys

i have a small problem

i cant refer to my script (which is in assets) but i can refer to a prefab, is this intentional or am i doing something wrong

[obsidian parcel]

Do any one know why clipping is happening the code that i am using to spawn the bullet hole is this
Instantiate(bulletHole, hit.point, Quaternion.LookRotation(hit.normal));

[teal viper]

Is it a MonoBehaviour?
Are you trying to reference a scene object from outside a scene?

[stuck crest]

oh wait i forgot to say

[stuck crest]

this is a scriptable object

[solar arrow]

gameplayMusic.loop = false;
gameplayMusic.playOnAwake = false;```

is there a way to simplified this code?

[teal viper]

Z fighting. Might want to offset your bullet holes a bit away from the surface.

[teal viper]

And the object you try to reference is in the scene?

[stuck crest]

it is in assets

[teal viper]

This is a script asset. Not an instance of the script. You can't reference it.

[stuck crest]

it is attached to the prefab

[teal viper]

Looks simple enough to me.

[teal viper]

Ok, so you try to reference the prefab?

Take a screenshot of the prefab.

[storm pine]

I'm not very familiar with 3D but I think adding some offset should work

Vector3 offset = hit.normal * 0.01f;
Instantiate(bulletHole, hit.point + offset, Quaternion.LookRotation(hit.normal));

Use the hit.normal so the offset will be always over the face of the wall. Maybe instead of 0.01f should be a higher float, i don't know

[solar arrow]

i want it to looks more simple like this

AudioSource audioSource = new AudioSource{clip = music, loop = false, playOnAwake = false};

[teal viper]

Well, you could create a method that encapsulates these 3 lines.

[teal viper]

This doesn't look like a prefab

If it's an object in the scene, you can't reference it from outside the scene.

[obsidian parcel]

thanks it worked

[teal viper]

Ok, close the prefab edit mode and try to assign that prefab to the serialized field.

[stuck crest]

ok

it works what

tysm

i was using the + symbol to refer

[teal viper]

I don't know what you were doing, but probably something wrong.

[teal viper]

The + symbol?🤔

[teal viper]

Aah. I see. Don't know why that wouldn't work if you selected the correct object.

[solar arrow]

i dont understand wdym

[teal viper]

You could put these 3 lines in a method and call the method instead.
What part of it is unclear?

[solar arrow]

you mean a function?

[teal viper]

In C# functions and methods are basically the same thing.

Method is the official terminology though

[solar arrow]

hm alright

thanks for the help

my game runs in the editor but not in the build, can anyone help?

Does anyone know why when I give it a build and run in the game it's a different speed and in the scene it's different from what it is

You wrote code that is framerate dependent

You would have to share your code for us to get into more detail than that

[queen adder]

Yo.
I have a small problem with code for animation/moving character

This code looks serviceable, but Unity gives an error

NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object

And character can move, but without animation

[languid spire]

you need to share the complete error message including the stack trace

[queen adder]

Here you go. A lot of errors.

[languid spire]

right, now read those and look at the script you posted

[wintry quarry]

yep wrong script entirely @queen adder

[languid spire]

nobody actually bothers reading the error messages. It really pisses me off

[ocean wren]

how do i do that?

[languid spire]

you make a development build by selecting that option in the build settings. you read the player log by looking at !logs the docs

Wdym by "normal vs" and "ms vs"? Visual studio is made by Microsoft

[wintry quarry]

Do you mean Visual Studio instead of Visual Studio Code?

im so confused im rlly new to game dev

i can ss

then it is isn't it

change VS Code to VS. Press Regenerate Project Files

[coral void]

Quick question. If I want to do things as in "systemic design", can I put for example main thing and label it as fire and then refer to it when I use it in projectile for example? Like I have "big" mechanics separate and just refer to them in smaller things?

[swift crag]

i don't understand your question

it kind of sounds like you're describing object oriented programming as a whole

[rocky canyon]

like a master class? full of variables or structs that u can reference later?

[coral void]

I won't lie that I understand but I guess (at least from what google search is telling me)

[teal viper]

Sounds like the definition of encapsulation

And abstraction I guess

[coral void]

So the easiest thing explanation I can think of would be it.

We have 3 main structures that have X, Y, Z under them like when you label enemy as a enemy in game.
For example we have enemy. I put label on him that he is enemy, player can damage him etc, but I also want to label him Fire.
When I label him Fire I want to everything that is under Water (other enemies, player attacks or environment) to make something happen when it came to contact with objects with label Fire (whatever I put as reaction between Water and Fire).

The question is would such "label system" work?

[swift crag]

I'd call these "traits". It's a decent strategy for creating complex behaviors

[coral void]

Are the other ways to creating such things?

[eternal whale]

i just created a script why does this happend?

[languid spire]

you already have another class called Flashlight

Hey! I made my game with levels. When i finish one level, i go to the another scene. it goes like that. I made a game over menu and i rotated it to my main menu scene, but as far as i understand i cant return to the scene that i already visited. is it true ? how can i solve this problem

[rocky canyon]

you can load into any scene as many times as u wish

Hello, how do I change the value of an attribute in a XmlNode? Google search says to use node.Attributes[code] but Attributes is get only, not set. So I can't edit it...

[rich adder]

what is XmlNode used for in unity?

are you deserializing an xml file ?

[silent vault]

I use Xml to store and load data, for mods in my game

I'm creating a UI to edit Xml so players can create mods directly in the game, standardizing stuff

I use XmlDocument to load the xml

[rich adder]

why XML and not JSON ?

json far faster

[silent vault]

Well, I didn't know that and I'm used to Xml so I went with it...

[rich adder]

oh ok

you are trying to change what exactly I'm not familiar with XML formatting in c#

seems like node.Attributes is the way to go

[silent vault]

Well, let's say I have a simple XML file <e><event code="blabla"></event></e>. I just want to change blabla to blibli for example.

Attributes is get only

[rich adder]

 XmlAttribute attribute = node.Attributes["YourAttributeName"];
            if (attribute != null)
            {
                attribute.Value = "NewValue"; 
            }
            else
            {
                Debug.LogError("Attribute not found.");
            }```

I think

Im quickly scanning through unity Forums 😛

[silent vault]

Will the XmlAttribute be an actual reference to the attribute in the xmlnode or a copy ?

[rich adder]

you probably forgot the .Value

node is XmlNode node = xmlDoc.SelectSingleNode("//YourNodeName");

[silent vault]

I didn't try this way cause I thought Attributes would not return a reference.

I'll give it a shot, thanks.

[rich adder]

np. lmk if works. I can test it myself too rq when I'm back on pc

[fallow frigate]

nope

[dense root]

Do you have collider attached to the game object?

[lethal smelt]

did you resize the collider right?

[rich adder]

np!
Honestly unity makes it extra easy because the inspector you can see values like private vars. I just think working with JSON is soo much easier in c# especially since its Object oriented. Idk I just found nodes and stuff annoying to work with

not the same as box collider

[rich adder]

they are completly different physics system

[dense root]

Thank you, but this documentation doesn't show your method call

[wooden minnow]

yeah idk the exact documentation because i cant find it either, that's why im going off of what i can find and this is the only thing i can find

[lethal smelt]

and make sure rigid body is 2D too

[wooden minnow]

or did you mean something else

[dense root]

No no that''s what I meant @wooden minnow. I guess the documentation is a bit sparse

[swift crag]

https://developer.oculus.com/reference/platform-unity/v65/class_oculus_platform_models_user

[fallow frigate]

oh yeah, alright, i will go through my mess and check that. if i have a precise question once i have done that i will say.

[swift crag]

here is the definition for Oculus.Platform.Models.User

it indeed includes a DisplayName

[wooden minnow]

mine doesnt

[dense root]

Oh cool, thank you

Sorry, what was the problem again @wooden minnow?

[swift crag]

I cannot find a version of the SDK that doesn't have this property.

[wooden minnow]

i dont have the DisplayName variable

[dense root]

Did it work? Swapping out the colliders?

[rich adder]

are you using the correct object

[swift crag]

what version of the Oculus SDK are you using?

[wooden minnow]

wdym

[swift crag]

also, do you mean that you're getting a compile error here?

[wooden minnow]

yup

[rich adder]

nvm I see the object comes from a callback

[swift crag]

and what is the exact error?

[wooden minnow]

it just doesnt exist

[rich adder]

is it IDE or just unity?

[wooden minnow]

if i try to write .GetUser().DisplayName it doesnt autofill and tells me that User doesnt contain the definition for DisplayName

using VS2022

[swift crag]

does Unity also complain?

[wooden minnow]

idk?

[swift crag]

you don't know?

look at the console

is there a compile error?

[wooden minnow]

it cant compile

[swift crag]

because of the same error you're seeing in the IDE?

or because of some unrelated error?

[wooden minnow]

yeah

[swift crag]

screenshot the error for me

[spring tusk]

Sorry to interrupt but I have a problem in my code and I need help. Can I get help next?

[rich adder]

[spring tusk]

I just like to be polite

[rich adder]

yeah no worries this aint a doctors office or anything lol

[wooden minnow]

?code

[spring tusk]

This is the code

[wooden minnow]

that wasnt the command damnit

[spring tusk]

It supposed to stop burning fuel when I stop touching/clicking but it keeps burning

and more

it burns faster

[rich adder]

more than likely you're running the Coroutine multiple times
Aka creating a new one each time

[spring tusk]

with each click

[spring tusk]

Yes, how I can stop it?

[rich adder]

put a boolean or store it in a Coroutine variable and check if its null

bool is prob easiest

  if(isBurningFuel) return;
            StartCoroutine(BurnFuel());```

bool isBurningFuel;
    private IEnumerator BurnFuel()
    {
        isBurningFuel = true;
        for (int i = fuelAmount; i >= 1; i--)
        {
            fuelAmount -= 1;
            yield return new WaitForSeconds(0.2F);

            //if (Input.touchCount > 0 && Input.GetTouch(0).phase == TouchPhase.Ended)
            if (Input.GetMouseButtonUp(0))
                break;
        }
        isBurningFuel = false;
    }```

[wooden minnow]

restarted the project and it worked ffs

[dense root]

Sometimes it be like that

[rich adder]

it was likely just your IDE not reading the assemblies properly

or unity needed it

[swift sedge]

you could reload the assemblies in the unity editor
