how to make cinemachine camera not change its position on the y axis

like if i jump it should not look at me jump

i just want it to move along the z axis with player

holding jump does that weird camera thing

not holding it looks good

[carmine elbow]

public class WaitForAnimation : CustomYieldInstruction
{
    private Animator animator;
    public override bool keepWaiting => animator.GetCurrentAnimatorStateInfo(0).normalizedTime < 1;
    
    public WaitForAnimation(Animator animator)
    {
        this.animator = animator;
    }
    
}

Anyone know why this doesn't work for my coroutine?

[stable narwhal]

Use the player gameobjects transform as reference

[valid stone]

what in the actual fuck?

I want it to be green (I'll deal with the size of all these squares later) but why is it showing white on the color tab?

[eternal needle]

this is a coding channel

[valid stone]

oh....

fair enough

sorry

[ivory bobcat]

This is the beginning code channel, for non-code-beginner questions, try #💻┃unity-talk
Make sure to explain what the issue is. As for the color property in the inspector:

Define the vertex color of the Sprite, which tints or recolors the Sprite’s image. Use the color picker to set the vertex color of the rendered Sprite texture.

It would alter the color of a white cube - try it.

[valid stone]

it's technically code though....

since these are squares I created with code...

[ivory bobcat]

Show some code then.

Implies it's an issue with code

[valid stone]

Ignore the vector for now

[modest dust]

You're changing the material color, not the SpriteRenderer color

so why do you expect the SpriteRenderer color to be anything else

[timber tide]

what is that instantiation lol

what is the issue here? Is it not green or is it

[astral falcon]

Maybe read along first mao 😄

[timber tide]

looks green in the scene though

changing color links to _Color too so it should work

[astral falcon]

Check the right side of the game view

[timber tide]

because spriteRender uses _Color for the vertex coloring

[valid stone]

oh ok I get it now

bro why is "uh" blocked by the server?

[astral falcon]

to avoid spam

[valid stone]

"......."

[astral falcon]

So still, wondering why all your boxes get green except the last column

[timber tide]

problem with doing it in the shader like that is it'll change the color for all sprite renders using that material

[bold osprey]

does any one have a double sided mesh collider script??

[timber tide]

so ideally change the sprite render's color property

[valid stone]

oh.....

makes sense

well they're all the same color here but still

[timber tide]

Actually, it'll create a new sprite render material for each sprite unless you do sharedmaterial. Either way, don't change vertex color in the shader. (less of a problem in URP, but you still need to destroy the material if you aren't using them later)

[astral falcon]

What exactly are you expecting to get? Like box in a box as collider? thast not gonna happen if you mean that

[bold osprey]

kinda i mean like a double sided mesh for example this dome

if its not possible ill figure out another way

[valid stone]

ok new problem here

I know my code looks atrocious

but the point of it is to basically space out all the squares with the distance between the squares being n * their length (1/4 of their length in this case)

[eternal needle]

you need to specify more what you actually mean. double sided mesh "script"? What are you trying to do

[astral falcon]

if you want to collide from outside and inside, that would be a mesh collider and the mesh would have to serve the vertcies for it. Not sure tho about convex/concave colliders these days. I know they were not possible back in the days

[valid stone]

but they aren't really aligned in the way I want them to be and the space between them certainly isn't 1/4th of their length

[bold osprey]

oh okay ill give that a try

[astral falcon]

you know you can set the parent within the instantiate method, right? right now you are instantiating worldspace and then parent to something locally.

[valid stone]

changed it

[valid stone]

what the

I made everything have f

this is literally the opposite of what I intended

I mean

the fact that the squares are in the camera is good

but why is the distance between squares bigger than the lengths of the squares themselves?

it's -1 -> 1 for x and -16/9 -> 16/9 for y btw if you're wondering about the size of the camera

oh I found the problem

I need to actually double the size for these guys

since in the instantiate, their vectors are multiplied by 2 or -2 and then have to them added -1 or 1 to convert from 0 -> 1, 0 -> 1 to -1 -> 1, 1 -> -1

magnificent

is that distance actually 1/4 though?

I think so yeah

I was scared that c# wouldn't allow variable array sizes but since it does I can do it with more than 10 x 10 squares now

[teal viper]

C# doesn't allow changing the array size. Unless you mean something else

[crude bone]

He means supporting multidimentional arrays. [,]

[crisp gate]

ah yes, the error || || my favourite! this should be easy to fix

I've gone over the guide and looked at forums but intellisense is not working for vscode
it recognizes things like what a monobehavior is, and it autocompletes things like int var etc but like not void awake

[summer creek]

how do i fix this enemy instead of patrolling it is going circles in one placeeee

[ivory bobcat]

Can you show your package manager?

Make sure Visual Studio Editor is installed and up to date.

[ivory bobcat]

Remove Visual Studio Code Editor, it's no longer necessary, obsolete and even conflicts with the newer Visual Studio Editor Package.

[eternal needle]

Change the code that makes it go in a circle to code that makes it patrol between points.
Nothing much else can be said unless you show code

[summer creek]

ill send u the code

[summer creek]

dm or here?

[eternal needle]

You should read the #854851968446365696 and #📖┃code-of-conduct which would also clarify on your question above about dming.

[queen adder]

How can I make the movement of a dynamic rigidbody be precise and constant, instead of slowing down and smoothing out towards the end of the movement?

That does not happen with kinematic movement. But I need dynamic rigidbodies to have collision between characters.

[eternal needle]

I dont really see which part of this even tries to patrol. I suggest you add debugs, especially like Debug.DrawRay or DrawLine so you can visualize what direction this is trying to move and hopefully that clarify to you why its moving around like this. I suspect it might be do to it only moving in its transform.forward direction which isnt rotating fast enough. You could just have it move in the actual wanted direction instead of just forward. I do have to go so try to learn to add more debugs into what's happening

[summer creek]

wait ill check the code cuz i made two of them one is chat gpt but the one im using in the video is not chatgpt made

[verbal dome]

Are you moving it with AddForce?

One way to get "snappy" movement is to directly change rb.velocity instead

[summer creek]

https://paste.myst.rs/2n9trbof this is the none chatgpt sorry i sent the wrong code

[hot palm]

Any idea how this line caused a stack overflow?

OnHover?.Invoke();

On Hover is a

public UnityEvent OnHover;

[languid spire]

at a guess you have subscribed a method to the event which allso Invokes OnHover

[hot palm]

Interestingly enough it only happens with one specific instance of that class,

[hot palm]

Let me look after that

well

Removing that fixed it xD

Idk why it was there to begin with, trying to revive an old project

Thanks a lot!

[timber tide]

Is there a way to declare a prefab as a variant of another if it's already instantiated

assuming the makeup of the prefab is similar enough

[queen adder]

I am moving it with rb.MovePosition(newPosition);
newPosition = Vector2.MoveTowards(rb.position, targetSlot.Value, moveSpeed * Time.deltaTime);

[verbal dome]

Make sure that your input isn't smoothed

Idk what else here would make you accelerate/decelerate over time

Showing your full script would help tho

[vernal holly]

I don't understand why is this not destroying the player.
Anything I missed?

[verbal dome]

Also better update newPosition before moving, not after

[simple harbor]

im new to programming and what not but would someone please help me out with why my selection manager code keeps giving me the cs0246 error ive tried googling it but everything its telling me is something ive already tried

[ivory bobcat]

Post the entire error - stack trace.

[queen adder]

Thanks, the movement is precise now. But if I have multiple units and they bump into each other, they get pushed around and slide a little bit.

Is it possible to prevent them from sliding, and just make them block each other?

[simple harbor]

this bit?

[ivory bobcat]

The error says that it doesn't know what a Text is. You may need to include the directive.

[simple harbor]

im so new i wouldnt know how to do that

[ivory bobcat]

Right click Text in your script and there should be an action that would allow you to add the missing directive - assuming your ide is properly configured.

[simple harbor]

umm ill see

it is not

[verbal dome]

First thing that comes to mind is try higher friction values in the rigidbody's or collider's physics material

[ivory bobcat]

You'll need to configure your !ide to get proper help on this discord server - part of the rules and it would solve most if not all minor mistakes/syntax-errors like this.

Don't be afraid to ask for help on any concerns with the configuration though.
The common issues when installing VS or VSC are:

• VS: user forgets to select the Unity Workload during installation
• VSC: user needs to manually remove the VSC Editor package - it's obsolete and conflicts with the new VS Editor package.

[simple harbor]

i did it and its still not doing what you said it would when i right click can we call or something and you run me through it real quick

[ivory bobcat]

Which IDE are you using?

[simple harbor]

vscode

[verbal dome]

What unity version?

[ivory bobcat]

Assuming you've done the configuration steps already, show an image of your package manager

[verbal dome]

For example 2021.1.6f1 didnt work well with the new vscode package for me

But 2021 LTS works better

[simple harbor]

2022.3.32f1*

[ivory bobcat]

Show an image of your package manager. Visual Studio Editor should be installed.

[simple harbor]

it keeps locking

ill unlock it but i dont think it does anything

[verbal dome]

You still have the old package

[simple harbor]

oh

[ivory bobcat]

Update the Visual Studio Editor package and remove the Visual Studio Code Editor package - it's obsolete now and conflicts with the new Visual Studio package.

[simple harbor]

ok ill do that now

im gonna sound slow but hteres no update button or anything

and i cant even remove it if i wanted to

[verbal dome]

2.0.22 is the newest version

[simple harbor]

oh

ok

[verbal dome]

Does it not let you remove the other package?

[simple harbor]

no it doesnt

[verbal dome]

So the Remove button is greyed out?

[simple harbor]

yeah

[verbal dome]

Not sure then. Havent seen that lock icon myself - must be a unity 2022+ thing

[simple harbor]

what version are you on

and if i change to it would i ave to restart

[verbal dome]

2021.3.39f1

[ivory bobcat]

Click on Visual Studio Code Editor and show us the package

[verbal dome]

Okay so seems like the Engineering package is using that package

[simple harbor]

hm ok where would i change that

[bleak condor]

every time i add a box collider to my player, it breaks the movement

[verbal dome]

Search for the Engineering package and remove it if you don't need it

[simple harbor]

ight

[verbal dome]

Okay. How are you moving? Show code

[simple harbor]

did it

visual code stuidir afia editor of what ever it was called is gone

[simple harbor]

ight

nothing popping up

go to Edit > Preferences > External Tools

it didnt do anything

So how does the movement break?

Not sure if boxcollider2D supports negative scale, that could be an issue

[bleak condor]

idk what this means sorry

[verbal dome]

Here you said 'it breaks movement', in what way does it break

Because that doesn't really say anything

[bleak condor]

oh. so like the camera still movse but the player is just stuck and doesnt move at all.

[verbal dome]

What if you comment out the CheckForFlipping method?

// CheckForFlipping();

Found small visual bug, i made component script "Toggle", but inspector still shows UnityEngine.UI.Toggle script icon
P.S if i asign it it will change icon

I'm not sure why your ide isn't providing intellisense, auto complete and suggestions. Likely it isn't properly configured. Is Text underlined red?

[simple harbor]

no

[ivory bobcat]

Close your VSC Editor and reboot the Unity Editor

[simple harbor]

alright

[bleak condor]

it was something else i figured it out thx

[wanton crater]

guys i have this while loop in a "OnTriggerEnter" and i have this
WHY DOES UNITY CRASH EVERY TIME I COLLIDE WITH THIS

and if i remove the delay it dosent crash but it spawns every object at the same time which makes it kinda laggy so i added a delay and now it crashes

im so confused

[fossil drum]

Because it never ends the while loop.
And Unity is single threaded, so it will never have time to do anything else.

Why is the while loop even there 🤔

[wanton crater]

so it repeats "number2" of times

you see its "while (i < number2)"

[simple harbor]

didnt do anything

[wanton crater]

and it does i++ each turn

[simple harbor]

im gonna try reconfiguring it and see if that fixes anything

[wanton crater]

well its supposed to end tho? cuz the spawndelay when its set to 0.1f it goes back to 0 then it spawns it again and goes to 0.1 and then 0 to spawn it again until i = number2

well in theory

[fossil drum]

Can you post the full !code then? Because if Unity hangs, it's because it's stuck in this while loop. Or another while loop you made.
I have no idea what number2 means.
I just wouldn't advise while loops anyhow for beginners, because you get things like this.
This could easily be fixed with a for loop instead.

[verbal dome]

But if the if(spawnDelay < 0) is false in the while loop, then i will never get incremented and the while loop is stuck forever

Because i < number2 wil stay true

[wanton crater]

when spawndelay is >0 it just waits for it to become 0 and thne do it again right?

that's whta im hoping for im making a delay

[rich egret]

how to fix it?

i mean, how to change to normal view?

[burnt vapor]

This is a coding channel. Either share relevant code or use the proper channel. Also, "how to fix it" is unclear.

[fossil drum]

Like I said, it never goes to any other piece of code when it's stuck in a while loop.
So it will not decrease spawnDelay, because that's in the Update and that's not in the while loop.

[wanton crater]

ohhhh

does a for loop fix this?

[verbal dome]

Nope, nothing here makes it wait.
If you want to wait inside a method then you might wanna look at Coroutines

[wanton crater]

i tried a couroutine and it also crashed

[fossil drum]

If you use a while loop sure, you would need to yield it if you did that.

I think a good coroutine like osmal says is the best way.

[verbal dome]

Yep, gotta yield to make it wait a frame and give the values a chance to change

[swift crag]

Code doesn't take in-game time to run. It happens instantly, all at once.

[simple harbor]

show i use vscode or vsenterprise cause looking at the configuring ide it has both but im wondering if one is better then the other

[swift crag]

there is no such thing as "vsenterprise"

there's Visual Studio and Visual Studio Code

there are different versions of Visual Studio, yes, but they aren't unique code editors or something

[simple harbor]

yeah alright

[swift crag]

I use VSCode, personally

Both work well with Unity

[simple harbor]

alright ive followed the steps and what not but its still no configured properly

[swift crag]

did you really just go follow all of the steps for VSCode in the past 60 seconds

or do you mean you tried earlier? :p

[verbal dome]

This has been going on for a while

[swift crag]

oh boy

[simple harbor]

yeah

[swift crag]

okay, so show me your package manager window (showing the Visual Studio Editor package) and the External Tools settings

[verbal dome]

You have had that compile error for a while, maybe it is messing something up

[swift crag]

Yes, that will prevent new packages from activating

(or old ones from being removed)

[simple harbor]

its to do with what im coding which wa why i came here to begin with but then that editing thingo wont work so im stuck do i delete the script reset unity the redo it?

[swift crag]

Fix the error by adding using UnityEngine.UI; to the top of the offending script

[simple harbor]

nows theres more

im not sure what happened

[swift crag]

well, presumably you have not defined InteractableObject

let's try something else first, though

[simple harbor]

alright

[swift crag]

close VSCode, hit "Regenerate project files", and double click a script asset to re-open VSCode

[wanton crater]

oh

it works in a couroutine :D

[swift crag]

If it's not working, hit ctrl-shift-U to open the Output window

[simple harbor]

ight

[swift crag]

then switch it to C# and scroll up to the top of the log

[wanton crater]

i just had to make it so the coroutine is the one that repeats itself in the end instead of calling it with a while loop 😅 @fossil drum

[swift crag]

Correct.

Starting a coroutine does nothing.

It does not "delay" the method that started it

otherwise your game would freeze

[swift crag]

well, to be exact: StartCoroutine will run until it hits a yield

[simple harbor]

i cant find that C# thing but shouldnt it already be C#

[swift crag]

screenshot your entire VSCode window.

[simple harbor]

and all of a sudden the dev kit has an error everything is fuck stuffing up

[swift crag]

This is the dropdown I was pointing to.

[simple harbor]

fuck im slow

[swift crag]

It's possible that the .NET Install Tool is having a problem. That would prevent the editor from working.

[simple harbor]

possible

[swift crag]

I'll also need to see the installed Unity extension

[swift crag]

okay, so that's present

so, what do you see in the C# output window? My editor spits out something like this

[swift crag]

well that mostly seems fine

although it hasn't found any projects

[simple harbor]

hmm yeah idk

[swift crag]

i'd whack it with the "restart computer" stick before continuing

[simple harbor]

ight ill see what that does

[deft grail]

thats why people dont use VSCode

VS is easier to setup

[verbal dome]

If you didnt restart unity and vscode after you fixed the compiler errors, I would definitely do that

[swift crag]

i find visual studio more obnoxious to deal with tbh

although, it also doesn't exist at all on my mac

which is a more pressing concern

[verbal dome]

Sadly visual studio often hangs for me especially in a large project

[swift crag]

it's very very obviously a 3000 year old IDE

[cosmic dagger]

dem fightin' words . . .

[swift crag]

I used it for C++, because VSCode's C++ extension can't grok templates at all

[swift crag]

That dotnet path looks wrong

Did you manually add something to your %PATH% variable?

[simple harbor]

No should’ve have

[cosmic dagger]

good to know; i randomly started learning C++ bcuz i got stuck on making a custom inspector with ui toolkit . . .

[swift crag]

Switch to the Terminal tab at the bottom and try running dotnet

[verbal dome]

Wait ui toolkit can use c++?

Oh or you mean you gave up on that and started learning c++?

[swift crag]

"I gave up and started learning C++" is a dreadful sentence

[cosmic dagger]

no, i was doing ui toolkit stuff that i couldn't get to work out and got frustrated . . .

[verbal dome]

I see

[cosmic dagger]

yep . . . 😅

[swift crag]

That's fine, then

oh, one thing

run dotnet --info

maybe this is an ancient version of dotnet

[cosmic dagger]

i was bored and wanted smth to do. kept reading it would be good to know/learn C or C++ and was curious . . .

[swift crag]

get well soon 🙏

[swift crag]

that's the same version I'm using, so presumably it's fine

[simple harbor]

yeah

[sage wyvern]

guys i have a code for basic movement but when i crouch my flashlight becomes smaller and goes higher

how do i fix this

[swift crag]

switch to the "C# Dev Kit" tab in the Output window and share the contents through a paste site like https://gdl.space

[sage wyvern]

this happens

[swift crag]

first, turn off debug mode in your inspector

click the vertical dots button there

[sage wyvern]

did it

[swift crag]

I'm guessing you're scaling down playerBody when you crouch

[simple harbor]

done do i paste the link here again

[sage wyvern]

ye

[swift crag]

well, don't do that

that's going to scale everything parented to playerBody

Are you trying to reduce the size of a CharacterController or something?

[swift crag]

yes

[simple harbor]

https://gdl.space/catijucuso.sql

[sage wyvern]

playerbody is the CC

[swift crag]

you can change the size of the character controller without scaling playerBody

just change the height and center of the character controller

[sage wyvern]

i tried that but then i fly mid-air

[swift crag]

ah, I wonder if dotnet is just the runtime, and you still need to install the SDK separately

I'm a little fuzzy on that

https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download

Download the .NET 8.0 SDK from here

[simple harbor]

hmm ill install the sdk again

[swift crag]

then restart after the installation

[sage wyvern]

i can show you my code if u want

[swift crag]

all of the questions I found asking about this particular line:

The application 'restore' does not exist.

say that this'll happen if you don't have the SDK

[swift crag]

yes, because you need to adjust the camera's position as well

[sage wyvern]

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

        goDown = true;
        speed = crouchSpeed;
    }
    else if (Input.GetKeyUp(KeyCode.LeftControl))
    {
        crouching = false;
    }

    if (crouching && goDown)
    {
        transform.localScale = new Vector3(1f, crouchHeight, 1f);
        goDown = false;
    }
    else if (!crouching && !goDown)
    {
        transform.localScale = new Vector3(1f, playerHeight, 1f);
    }
}

[simple harbor]

alright done

[sage wyvern]

this is my crouching code

i could put the rest in cuz of dc

i installed it

[sage wyvern]

https://gdl.space/juhupajeko.cs

this better

[swift crag]

so, as I said, you need to stop changing the scale of playerBody

that's going to cause everything that's parented to it to get squished

You should change the height and center of the character controller.

Then you need to move the camera up and down so that it's in the right spot

[sage wyvern]

how do i do that cuz im new to coding

[swift crag]

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

notably, https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/CharacterController-height.html and https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/CharacterController-center.html

Try playing with the height and center in the inspector

That will show you the values you need to use

(the center should basically just be Vector3.up * height / 2)

[simple harbor]

alight fen is there anything else i needa try

[swift crag]

run dotnet restore in your terminal

you should get an error about not providing a project file

[sage wyvern]

if i would do what you say would this also make my groundcheck go up

[swift crag]

okay, that looks fine

[swift crag]

no, because you're moving the center of the character controller down at the same time that you're reducing its height

everything will stay in the same place

[swift crag]

now, show me the C# and C# Dev Kit outputs again

[sage wyvern]

what should i do with my crouch- and playerheight

[swift crag]

i don't know what you mean by "what should i do with my crouch"

i just described how to make your character controller shorter

[sage wyvern]

no but i have 2 public bools called crouchheight and playerheight

playerheight = 1f

crouchheight = .4f

[swift crag]

you can use those to set the height of your character controller

[sage wyvern]

so let me get this straight,
the character controller should become smaller which moves the camera down without scaling the camera down

but idk how to do any of that

[swift crag]

Changing the character controller's size only changes its size. It does not cause anything else to move around.

if you have no idea how to change a few fields on a character controller, you might want to stop and switch to some !learn tutorials first

can you give me another dotnet --info?

that's very odd

[simple harbor]

ight

mb i was just having a smoke

[swift crag]

okay, so it now reports that you have a .NET SDK installed (it previously didn't)

[simple harbor]

alright finally getting somewhere lol

[swift crag]

and for a sanity check, show me "dotnet.exe" --info

i'm pretty sure that's identical to dotnet.exe --info on Windows, but, you know

might as well make sure

[rotund sinew]

I have some buttons that once clicked I want to desactivate I want them to disappear and not be visible, but when I do, it doesn't work, here is the code:

public class UIManager : MonoBehaviour {
    [SerializeField] private Button startServerButton;
    [SerializeField] private Button startClientButton;
    [SerializeField] private Button goBackButton;
    [SerializeField] private Image connectionMenuBackground;

    [SerializeField] private TextMeshProUGUI playersInGameText;

    [SerializeField] private Camera connectionMenuCamera;


    private void Awake() { Cursor.visible = true; }

    private void Start() {
        playersInGameText.enabled = false;

        startServerButton.onClick.AddListener(() => {
            if (NetworkManager.Singleton.StartServer()) {
                Debug.Log("Server started...");
            } else { Debug.Log("Server couldn't be started..."); }

            startServerButton.enabled = false;
            startClientButton.enabled = false;
            goBackButton.enabled = false;
            connectionMenuBackground.enabled = false;
            connectionMenuCamera.enabled = false;
            playersInGameText.enabled = true;
        });

        startClientButton.onClick.AddListener(() => {
            if (NetworkManager.Singleton.StartClient()) {
                Debug.Log("Client started...");
            } else { Debug.Log("Client couldn't be started..."); }

            startServerButton.enabled = false;
            startClientButton.enabled = false;
            goBackButton.enabled = false;
            connectionMenuBackground.enabled = false;
            connectionMenuCamera.enabled = false;
            playersInGameText.enabled = true;
        });
    }
}

They are not clickable, just still visible

[swift crag]

disabling the Button component doesn't stop it from showing up. You can deactivate the entire game object, though

[swift crag]

Did you restart your computer after installing the SDK?

[simple harbor]

no was i supossed to do that?\

[swift crag]

i forgot to mention it

[simple harbor]

ah ok ill do that real quick

[swift crag]

I wonder if VSCode is still hanging onto something from before the install

[simple harbor]

ight done

there was an update

yo i think you did something

these red squwiggles werent there before

[halcyon geyser]

Doesnt like like Unity is connected ur IDE anymore

[willow scroll]

What do you mean?

[simple harbor]

well when i double clicked on thingo it came up with vscode so i think its still working

[lavish gate]

i dont think this should throw an error? (trying to make an editor)

[willow scroll]

target doesn't exist though

[verbal dome]

Does the class inherit from Editor?

[lavish gate]

Nope, thank you

[swift crag]

nice!

[simple harbor]

yeah but it still wont fix my issue

[swift crag]

your issue was that your IDE wasn't working :p

i guess you just have another issue now

so what is InteractableObject?

where is it defined?

[simple harbor]

im sorry what do you mean

[swift crag]

You're trying to use a type called InteractableObject.

So I have a 2D-Platformer and i want the camera to follow the player, i got a script cameracontroller like this:

using UnityEngine;

public class CameraContoller : MonoBehaviour
{

[SerializeField] private Transform player;


private void update()
{
    transform.position = new Vector3(player.position.x , transform.position.y, transform.position.z);
}

}

but it doen't work, what can I change to get it work?

[simple harbor]

i still dont really know what you mean sorry im knackered

[ivory bobcat]

[shell kernel]

ohh thx

[languid spire]

you could spell Update correctly

[swift crag]

the code you just sent declares a class called SelectionManager

so where is the code that declares a class called InteractableObject?

[simple harbor]

oh i dont have one

[swift crag]

then why did you expect any of this to work?

you can't just make up random names that don't exist

Hey guys, a few days ago i asked about my game doesnt work correctly when i builded. (But it works in unity editor). When i build for WebGL, it works perfectly. But for windows or android, it returns Null error when i play. Also If I build other than webgl, i get an error like this :

What to do?

[vernal bone]

I'm loosing my mind.
I want to make a bullet to ricochet from walls. But i'm using kinematic rigidbody.
Is there any good way to SetRotation of Rigidbody2D by Vector2?
Or i'm better off with turning it to dynamic and use velocity? Cuz that works.

[wintry quarry]

Vector2.Reflect

[vernal bone]

I mean, yeah, but how to translate it to rotation angle for rigidbody?
Like, i have two vector2 variables(reflect and current transform.right)

[ivory bobcat]

What's the issue? Why would you need to rotate it? Can't you just set the forward direction?

Or rather right, with 2d.

[vernal bone]

But is it really ok to modify transform and not rigidbody?
And can you just do that like transform.right = reflect?

[ivory bobcat]

You could probably access the rotation property of the rigid body if necessary and assign it a quaternion relative to direction https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Quaternion.LookRotation.html

Where forward would be your unchanged forward and up would be your new up relative to the reflection.

[vernal bone]

Doesn't seem to work like it should.
I'll stick with dynamic and velocity i guess

[tough trench]

I just started Unity and I'm trying to make a game like Cookie Clicker. I have a button that changes the workerShopActive bool but when I start the game the worker buttons are the only thing that shows, and it says "worker" in the console. When i click the button both button types are not active and it still says worker in the console. does anyone know how to help

[polar acorn]

If you're getting the log "worker" in the console, it means that there is at least one active instance of this script where storeScript.workerShopActive && isWorkerButton is true

[tough trench]

How to I turn the other buttons back on though?

[wintry quarry]

Simple trigonometry that part - Mathf.Atan2

[queen adder]

how do i get out of this mode?

[verbal dome]

Theres a hotkey that I forgot but you can double click the top bar next to Scene

[polar acorn]

What other buttons? This script seems to turn itself off or on a bunch based off of different conditions

Nothing here seems to reference any other buttons

[wintry quarry]

shift-space

or right click the game window tab and un maximize

or double click it

[queen adder]

k ty

[tough trench]

in the same script the bool isWorkerButton will change the text it needs how much you can buy of an item and when to show in the shop.

[mortal sigil]

Hi

Me and a friend were trying to code

How to solve this?

It says "there should be a }"

[ivory bobcat]

You're probably missing a }

Can't really tell without you actually showing the rest of the code

[mortal sigil]

It would be suggestive content

Cause we named the objects

Kind of explicit ways

So idk if i can

[ivory bobcat]

For every { you need a }

[mortal sigil]

Ok ill see

[modest dust]

Just add a } at the end of the script, the error is pretty straightforward

I'm surprised you didn't just try it out after reading the error

[slender nymph]

wdym "the project settings bug"

You're checking this object's tag for "Other Falling 2"

[brave pecan]

does anyone know how can i fix it?

[vale olive]

hello guys i am having a little issue in here, the first print is working good but the sencond if is not getting, can someone help me please?

[swift crag]

note that Destroy(Isco) will not destroy a game object

[wintry quarry]

One of those conditions is false. Or you're getting an error

[swift crag]

unless Isco is itself a game object, I guess

[vale olive]

yes Isco is a game object

and i want it to destroy

[swift crag]

i'm very confused by Isco.gameObject.GetComponent<Isco>()

[wintry quarry]

Then why the .gameObject 😵‍💫

[swift crag]

the first one is a variable and the second one is the name of a class

[vale olive]

so how do i correct it?

[wintry quarry]

debug your code

[vale olive]

i dont know how to do it, that why i am here ahha

[wintry quarry]

Debug.Log is a good way

[polar acorn]

Log the values of the things you're actually checking for, instead of just a word

[wintry quarry]

Log more than just some static word. Log the values of the things you are checking in your if statements

[polar acorn]

that way you can see if those conditions are true

[vale olive]

how log works?

[wintry quarry]

It prints whatever you give it to the console window

[polar acorn]

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Debug.Log.html

[vale olive]

Like this: Debug.Log(Isco.transform.GetChild(0) != null);

[polar acorn]

Sure

That'd print true or false

[vale olive]

okay i am gonna try

[verbal dome]

Is it this window down here ?

[vale olive]

it is not printing anything with that code

[wintry quarry]

well there's a nother condition you need to check before that too - the Ocupado thing

[polar acorn]

Where did you put that log

[wintry quarry]

yeah that means the outer if statement isn't true

this tells you a lot of information

[vale olive]

the ocupado thing is working, the getcild insn´t

[polar acorn]

So, it never reaches that line, meaning the first condition is not true

[polar acorn]

How do you know

[slender nymph]

if "the ocupado thing" is working then you'd see both of those logs in the console

[vale olive]

ok so it is not woking either one of the condicions

[wintry quarry]

Nope

[slender nymph]

so either the Ocupado variable is false, you have an error in the console you are not addressing, or this code isn't running. but if the first log appears in the console then it is one of the first two things

[vale olive]

with this code, i want to swith Isco with the child of his. how can i do it ?

someone help plase?

[swift crag]

can you explain what you're actually trying to make your game do

nothing about components or game objects

[cosmic dagger]

what do you mean by child? what are you trying to do? Isco is a type . . .

[vale olive]

it is a fiching game, when the fish is in the bait and collied with the boat, i want it to desapeer

when the bait reach the fish, the fich becomes its child

so i only want to make the child desapeed

desapear

[swift crag]

okay, so why are you destroying Isco?

destroy the child

Destroy(Isco.transform.GetChild(0).gameObject);

(you can't destroy a Transform)

[vale olive]

ok that is what i need it

[swift crag]

i want to swith Isco with the child of his.

this made me think you wanted to switch the two objects around in the hierarchy

making the bait the child of the fish or something

[vale olive]

let me try the code you send

[cosmic dagger]

GetChild returns a Transform. you need to get the GameObject from the Transform and destroy that . . .

[bright siren]

Technically transform is a component so you can destroy, but... Unity is weird

[vale olive]

the code you send his working, but one more thing

after the fisch desapear i want to continue fishing the other fish and that is not working

[slender nymph]

you actually can't destroy a transform, it will yell at you if you try

[bright siren]

really! not tried! But Destroy can take a component. That inconsistent!!

[cosmic dagger]

yes, but every GameObject has a Transform, so by law, it cannot be destroyed as one cannot exist without the other . . .

[vale olive]

can someone help me with this?

[astral falcon]

I can throw chesse on my car as wheels, not gonna work either. 😄

[slender nymph]

it's not inconsistent. you can pass a transform to destroy, it just doesn't destroy it and will yell at you at runtime. i don't remember if it throws an exception or just a warning though

[cosmic dagger]

you just asked a few seconds ago. let people read and attempt to respond . . .

[vale olive]

okay okay sorry dude i wait

[cosmic dagger]

also, you didn't explain what is not working. we don't know how you did it or what you tried . . .

[vale olive]

!!!!

i said in that message

[astral falcon]

No you did not. Youdid not show any code besides the destroy one and therefore we do not know what you tried already. or if you did not write any code yet and asking here for code snippets

[neat scarab]

essentialy i think he's asking that he wants to repeat the destory object more then once

[vale olive]

the only code i use to destroy the game object is this one

[cosmic dagger]

again, how is it not working? obviously you have code, but we do not have your code. you need to provide the code to show us what you did. then we can help provide answers for why it's not working . . .

[vale olive]

exacly

[swift crag]

where do you reset the Ocupado variable?

it's clearly important here

[vale olive]

i dont, i dont know how to reset that and the destroy

[swift crag]

i don't know what it means or where you assign it

so it's hard to say much

[vale olive]

ocupado is a bool variable

what you need to know?

[cosmic dagger]

i only see code for attempting to destroy a child. i don't see anything about wanting to continue fishing or what that code looks like . . .

[vale olive]

yh that what i need and dont know

[astral falcon]

I feel like the very basics are missing here. Either from your code or from your knowledge.

[vale olive]

that is*

probably both

i am a very begginer

so yh

[astral falcon]

I propose you visiting unity learn platform and get the basic tutorials going to get a grasp of how everything works and is tied together

[vale olive]

this is the last thing i need i am with a very short deadline, if you could just help, i would apreciate

[astral falcon]

Im not gonna write code for you, sorry. If you try and come back here with whatever you tested, people will help. But noones gonna write the code for you, but maybe someone is willing to.

[swift crag]

correct

[vale olive]

i did this with a timer, the format is giving me error, can help with this?

[slender nymph]

look real hard at what you are passing as the first parameter

[vale olive]

ohhh

i see it

    [SerializeField] private Health playerHealth;
    [SerializeField] private Image totalHealthbar;
    [SerializeField] private Image currentHealthbar;

        totalHealthbar.fillAmount = playerHealth.currentHealth / 10;
   }

    private void Update()
    {
        currentHealthbar.fillAmount = playerHealth.currentHealth / 10;
    }
}```


Assets\Scripts\Health\Healthbar.cs(6,30): error CS0246: The type or namespace name 'Image' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)
Assets\Scripts\Health\Healthbar.cs(7,30): error CS0246: The type or namespace name 'Image' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

And speed too

[astral falcon]

It walks exactly as you set it up. What do you mean by strangely?

Can you please provide some information. We do not see your screen or anything... give some effort in describing

[slender bridge]

you are moving so slow because you have multiplied your speed down to probably near zero. what did you change after Osmal said you were using delta time a million times?

[cosmic dagger]

are we supposed to know what, "walks like in a movie," means?

[slender bridge]

and what is the value of speed ?

im confused on the comma

do you mean 7.58

well have you tried to increase your value in the inspector and see what happens ?

You should go look at some tutorials on simple 3d movement. There are a few things that stand out from your code. One being your values need to be normalized so it fixes diagonal movement speed, and two, You will likely run into issues using Translate and your physics/colliders.

[vale olive]

in here, doing scenes connection, what do i put inside the parentheses

[rich adder]

show your players Gizmos in local space mode

[slender bridge]

your are likely not rotating your player to your cameras forward transform

[rich adder]

did you bother looking the function in the docs or the IDE ?

it literally tells you

[astral falcon]

your ide will tell you if you write ( after Async

[rich adder]

when in doubt
https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/SceneManagement.SceneManager.LoadSceneAsync.html
look at that it even has examples. Whattya know

in the scene, to make sure your forward facing is correct in the first place

I cant tell if you're in Global or local mode

show the whole screenshot , no crop

[verbal dome]

Local because the orientation gizmo in top right points in different direction

[rich adder]

oh yeah you're right

ok so the forward seems correct

[astral falcon]

its not in playmode, you should show your gizmo when you turned your camera view

[slender bridge]

Your player is not automatically just going to go forward in the direction your camera is facing when hitting W unless you rotate it to match the camera.

[rich adder]

just realized you're not even doing transform.forward * vertInput

you're using world Z

first of all you have a rigidbody, dont use translate

[carmine narwhal]

I found a free site in my native language, whit exercises

[slender bridge]

Please take the advice of going to learn basic movement via unity learn or youtube

[verbal dome]

Translate uses Space.Self by default. But yeah should move the rigidbody instead

[rich adder]

velocity or addforce, using the rigidbody component

[rich adder]

ah does it? always thought it was world unless specified, for some reason

good to know. I barely use it 😅

[verbal dome]

I get it mixed up too

[slender bridge]

I don't think i have ever used Translate once.

[rich adder]

rb.AddForce should be in FixedUpdate, you prob want to specificy a force mode

also if you dont lock rigidbody rotation on X/Z this will flip your player

no Inputs should never be in FixedUpdate

thats why i said rb.AddForce should be in FixedUpdate,

[slender bridge]

You generally get input from update and apply physics in fixed update. Also it may be better to modify the .velocity to move your character and if you want abrupt starting and stopping movement use GetAxisRaw

[verbal dome]

Now you should remove * Time.deltaTime because AddForce is already scaled with delta time

Make sure to adjust speed to a smaller number after that

[rich adder]

yup thats why your Z barely moves

the Time.deltaTime on rigidbody

are you rotating the camera individually from the player ?

that does not answer my question the slightest

show your rotation code

any rotation you got sure

how many other things are you rotating 🤔

[swift crag]

The player is not rotating. The camera rotation doesn't matter whatsoever.

unless you've attached this component to the camera, of course

[rich adder]

so ur rotating both indivudually

[summer stump]

Not sure if it was mentioned, but remove the deltaTime from your mouse input calcs

[rich adder]

oof moment

[swift crag]

This code doesn't care about how anything is rotated. It applies force in the X and Z directions.

The rotation of the player and the camera mean nothing.

[rich adder]

it does if they're looking in the wrong direction while moving

[swift crag]

Pressing W moves you right because that's the direction the world Z axis is pointing

[verbal dome]

You have MouseX = -90 which makes your camera rotation different anyway

[swift crag]

you're moving in the direction of the blue cone, no matter what you do with your camera or player

[verbal dome]

Which explains the seemingly flipped X and Z movement

[swift crag]

yeah, and the -90 is clearly there to make you start out looking down the hallway

since a -90 degree rotation on the Y axis rotates you to the left

You need to make it so that you move in the direction you are looking.

not just a fixed direction

[swift crag]

Calculate a movement vector by using your forward and right directions.

Vector3 move = Vector3.zero;
move += transform.forward * Input.GetAxis("Vertical");
move += transform.right * Input.GetAxis("Horizontal");
move *= speed;
move *= Time.deltaTime;

This would be reasonable.

(yes, it's missing a clamp so that diagonal movement isn't faster)

well, you'd then need to use that vector

you can store it in a variable and use it in FixedUpdate

If you do that, get rid of the Time.deltaTime line

AddForce can be given a vector

[summer stump]

No. You pass the vector INTO AddForce

Change it back, remove the x, 0, z and instead use the vector you made

[swift crag]

which you store in a variable, just like you're currently storing x and z

if you don't know how to write C#, you should really stop what you're doing and use !learn

the thing you put in the parentheses 😝

[slender bridge]

like this ? (parameter)

[swift crag]

to be pedantic, the thing you pass to the function is an argument

the function has parameters

but i digress

[slender bridge]

listen here Fen, don't be using that tone with us... its not nice

you definately gotta be trolling now

[rich adder]

you wasting more time doing it wrong than learning it once how to do it right..

this mentality makes no sense to me

[cosmic quail]

you should go and look up a unity tutorial on youtube

[languid spire]

where do you think he got this code from?

[summer stump]

Don't do youtube
https://www.w3schools.com/cs/index.php

And then
https://learn.unity.com/pathways

[cosmic quail]

theres tutorials with rb.AddForce(Vector3 force); ? 😄

[rich adder]

so you see how a vector3 is passed in translate there? its not different than the one in AddForce

they both want V3 as direction.

put 2 and 2 together

[swift crag]

this example is taking three arguments

player.Translate works in the local space of the transform by default, unlike AddForce, which is working in world space

i suppose you could just use AddForceRelative

[cosmic quail]

oh the youtube tutorial is telling you to use Translate? sorry wasnt reading the conversation earlier. yeah that tutorial is bad, better use aethenosity's links instead

[rich adder]

you made a separete variable for it called move.

its just that is local..

[modest dust]

Either way, if this is your level of programming knowledge then even if you get past the youtube tutorials, you won't be able to make anything of your own (clearly seen here) and instead you'll just spend hours wasting your time (like right now). Just... spend a few god damn days and learn the basics from scratch. C#, then Unity. Most of your issues will be gone.

[swift crag]

oh right, it's AddRelativeForce

[queen adder]

anyone know why this isnt working, im tryna send a player id through my webhook and its just giving me a 400 bad request error:

     private void SendWebhook()
      {
          string playerId = PlayerPrefs.GetString("PlayerID");
          if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(playerId))
          {
              Debug.LogError("Player ID is missing or empty.");
              return;
          }

          StartCoroutine(SendWebhookCoroutine(playerId));
      }

      private IEnumerator SendWebhookCoroutine(string playerId)
      {
          WWWForm form = new WWWForm();
          form.AddField("Player ID", playerId);

          UnityWebRequest request = UnityWebRequest.Post(WEBHOOK_URL, form);
          yield return request.SendWebRequest();

          if (request.result != UnityWebRequest.Result.Success)
          {
              Debug.LogError("Failed to send webhook: " + request.error);
          }
          else
          {
              Debug.Log("Webhook sent successfully.");
          }
      }```

[swift crag]

perhaps your request is bad, then

although 404 is not a "bad request"

that means "not found"

[slender bridge]

404 is not found

[queen adder]

i mean 400

[slender bridge]

form field Player ID is suspect

[queen adder]

Failed to send webhook: HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request
UnityEngine.Debug:LogError (object)

[slender bridge]

have you verified what your end point requires ?

and to my knowledge your key Player ID i don't believe should work

[rich adder]

check if blocked first or just move using a character controller

[torpid snow]

I know this isnt exactly coding, but how do i move the blue circle on my sprite? Im using cinemachine to track my character sprite however the blue circle it tracks is way off and idk how to move it and i cant find anything online.

[queen adder]

why

[wintry quarry]

in the sprite editor

[rich adder]

if its not coding why are you asking in a code channel

[torpid snow]

i couldnt find a better channel you goof

[torpid snow]

ty

[wintry quarry]

#🖼️┃2d-tools #💻┃unity-talk

[summer stump]

That is not a good reason

[rich adder]

what a DOLT

I'm confused by your original question, do you want to move to a spot if its not blocked ?

idk wat you mean by " can i make colliders work with offsetting the player "

[cosmic quail]

cant you use a rigidbody for movement instead?

[rich adder]

or character controller

you're going to have to not reply "huh" and "wdym" and actually inquire to clear up what your confusion is on

[cosmic quail]

to have collisions, you gotta put a rigidbody component (and a collider) on your player and then instead of changing transform.position you do rigidbody.moveposition instead, for example

[wintry quarry]

Use CharacterController or Rigidbody based movement

both will respect collisions

[rich adder]

those two controller respect physics ^^ aka colliders

[wintry quarry]

(btw MovePosition does NOT respect collisions)

you would need to move via velocity or using forces

[cosmic quail]

doesnt it? im pretty sure it does

[rich adder]

dejavu we had a debate about this with @rocky canyon yesertday lmao
#💻┃code-beginner message

[wintry quarry]

it doesn't

[rich adder]

I could've sworn MovePosition does not and indeed it didn't after they test 😛

[slender bridge]

negative

[wintry quarry]

It will move you into a wall, at which point you'll get violently depenetrated

[cosmic quail]

oh, kinematic enabled means it doesnt?

according to navarone's link

[wintry quarry]

kinematic bodies are a whole different story - they don't respect collisions at all they are unstoppable forces

[swift crag]

you will respect the collider -- but not in the gentle way (:

you'll respect it by going flying at 30 trillion miles per hour

[rich adder]

nope

[wintry quarry]

My own quote in which I am wrong lmao

[rich adder]

indeed thats why he was like "I don't need further proof, PraetorBlue approved "

[wintry quarry]

haha

[cosmic quail]

wait now i am confused. whats the truth then 😂

[rich adder]

so if you already have a rigidbody use that?

[slender bridge]

if you use character controller, you have to simulate gravity. but character controller has a few out of the box features that make it somewhat easier than rigidbody, but thats still debatable.

[zinc kite]

do I need to be making an input manager with the new input system unity? what is even the purpose of an input manager?

[rich adder]

seperatation of concerns

you don't "need" it

[wintry quarry]

MovePosition:

• If you're kinematic, you will naturally push other objects out of the way correctly (this is good, it was designed for this)
• But you will be allowed to move inside walls if you are dynamic, and you will get pushed out. Which is not the same as not being able to move into them in the first place

[zinc kite]

I am making a local multiplayer game, I have read that managers need to be a singleton. So is it even possible to be making manager?

[rich adder]

yes but you're not applying offset to the Rigidbody component, you're doing it to the Transforms directly (which is the same as teleporting)

[wintry quarry]

You should be using the Rigidbody for everything, not just the jumping

[cosmic quail]

if you're kinematic then does rigidbody.moveposition stop when it encounters a wall before it reaches its destination? somebody told me that once

[wintry quarry]

no, velocity or forces

[wintry quarry]

no

it will go right through the wall

[rich adder]

You can push other rb collider bodies, they cannot affect you the slightest
walls you will phase right through

[cosmic quail]

but non kinematic means it stops correctly then?

[rich adder]

no as PraetorBlue said, its only because the dynamic is trying to fix the intersecting of you basically teleproing into wall

so its pushing it out of the wall

I always assumed MovePosition mentiones its a method to move kinematic , i think its meant for that mainly

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

[cosmic quail]

ok that is weird, i remember someone explaining that moveposition works with collisions because under the hood it actually checks collisions properly while moving it or something. its good to know that its not the case

[rich adder]

maybe they got confused, because you can use Move Position to push other rigidbodies

so there is some calculations there for collisions, just not from you. Other rbs

they just know where the kinematic is I suppose

bruh.. why are you still setting position on the transform

we're going in circles

how you expect to fix it if you keep doing it wrong

we gave you already the advice how to do it

[slender bridge]

You aren't desperate enough to go learn the basics. Or to even understand why you are doing what you are doing.

[rich adder]

desperation fuels excellence

[slender bridge]

Your inability consumes you

[swift crag]

throwing random statements at the wall will not produce a working game

[late burrow]

when i want something like .indexof and to use it in other function does it matter whether i pass int or a list to run indexof on

[slender bridge]

That def should have been "Throwing random words at a wall will not produce a sentence" lol

[swift crag]

you can't do (3).IndexOf(...), for sure

i don't really understand your question

[rich adder]

how would you even run index of an int?

[timber tide]

MovePosition is garbo and you might as well just use character controller

[polar acorn]

How would you get indexof on an int

[late burrow]

idk if list or array

whatever that does that

i can always .toarray

[swift crag]

this is an ill-posed question

it does not make any sense

[rich adder]

int.IndexOf like what?

[swift crag]

if you want to use a method from a class, you'd better have an object of that type

[late burrow]

its question about does it matter if i pass small int or huge array through function

[swift crag]

are you asking if passing an array or list to a function copies it?

it does not

[polar acorn]

This makes even less sense

[late burrow]

since in array case i believe it could be copied as its kind of primitive

[rich adder]

what is the end goal here?

[languid spire]

arrays and lists are objects. they are passed by reference not value

[swift crag]

arrays are not value types

[polar acorn]

why would you think that

[late burrow]

so same performance ok

[rich adder]

is there issue if you pass everyone the address to the same Building ?

[languid spire]

int is 32 bite. A reference is 64 bits. Not quite the same but very little difference

[late burrow]

yeah just in case of passing 1000 entries long list its always good to ask

[polar acorn]

When in doubt, you could always profile it and see

[late burrow]

i dont believe profiler

[languid spire]

you should know this stuff. it's very basic C#

[rich adder]

1000 isn't much

[polar acorn]

Then you should probably stop not believing it

[rich adder]

also with reference types all you're passing is the address to the same object..

it can have whatever quanitity it makes no difference to passing the list around

[zinc kite]

How can i approach Singletons in a local multiplayer game.

[rich adder]

the same way you do it for single player?

what makes you think anything changes ?

[swift crag]

perhaps you want something that isn't actually a singleton

but rather something that has one instance per player

[rich adder]

also by "local multiplayer" do you mean couch multiplayer/coop

[eternal needle]

Either one, whichever suits your game more. addForce may be trickier to use initially, because you'll need to handle actually slowing the player down. Directly setting velocity to what you want is easier but then you might end up ignoring collision forces

[rich adder]

"setting velocity it obviously didnt work since its same as offsetting atp"

wdym by this

show what you wrote

setting velocity is definitely not the same as setting the trasnforms directly

[eternal needle]

Yea I didnt see the code if it was posted before so I have no clue what you mean

[rich adder]

nah just this
#💻┃code-beginner message

never seen new code or changes they did

[eternal needle]

Oh

[rich adder]

supposedly the rigidbody is already there for AddForce jump

[zinc kite]

since there will be more than a single instance of the player, so will the manager. I have read before that the manager has to be Singletons

[zinc kite]

what will the referencing of something like that look like

[eternal needle]

"The manager", which one? Also why does your player need to be a singleton in the first place

[rich adder]

is this a couch coop?

or actual networking

[zinc kite]

Yeah couch multiplayer

[rich adder]

so if its a singleton you only need 1 , why are you spawning "per-player"

[rich adder]

I don't understand this part

since there will be more than a single instance of the player, so will the manager.

why does manager need to be "per-player"

[swift crag]

what is "the manager"?

if it's a game-wide manager (e.g. something that controls the match timer), there is only one instance, no matter how many players you have

[rich adder]

this is widly easier since you're only dealing with the same build running

[swift crag]

if it's something player-specific, then it obviously can't be a singleton anymore

each player has its own instance

in that case, you'd either have each player reference their object, or have a singleton that you can ask for a player's object

[zinc kite]

for health, powerup, and so on. And updating the ui and so on

[timber tide]

GameManager.Instance.Players[0]

[rich adder]

but you only need 1

add players through a list, and just loop through each one

[swift crag]

each player has health. health is a property of the player.

[rich adder]

your manager can get info from multiple players at the same time

since they all have the same props anyway

[zinc kite]

oooh, okay.I think i get it now

I will try to prototype something out. Thank a lot ❤️❤️

[rich adder]

You probably want to look into events here

put an event to when your stats changed and react to changes accordingly

each player has their own event when something happens (health changes etc..)

[tame parcel]

hey guys noob question how i make this sword stay stuck to his hand, when the character does a animation the sword just stays still doesnt move

[timber tide]

is it rigged such that the sword doesnt move in any key points of the animation

also not really a codding question

[tame parcel]

where should i ask then

[quick swift]

Hey guys! Need some help with my object pickup. I am in for 3 hrs on this and still can't get it to work. The reachtool I've created detects in console the objects ready for pickup , but nor the text appears (pickup) neither can pick the object

[kindred pollen]

am i allowed to ask questions abt scripting for a unity 2d project here or am i missing a channel?

[timber tide]

if it's code and not editor tool specific then this would be the place

[kindred pollen]

awesome

[wintry quarry]

As always - debug your code. Add log lines where you expect code to run and things to happen and verify that the reality matches your expectations.

[kindred pollen]

i am like, extremely new to coding and especially C# (I only have minor javascript experience) so I've been trying to learn off YouTube tutorials. I just completed my first remake of Tetris, but I can't figure out how to properly script a game over. The tutorials i've followed have become a little useless since I mashed together a bunch of them to create my tetris. I'm assuming this is probably really simple and im just way over my head in terms of knowledge.

this is the script i use for behaviors on the tetris blocks themselves: https://hatebin.com/epsqtjubws

this is what i use to control spawning the pieces: https://hatebin.com/fjqknvijut

can anyone help me figure out a way to trigger a game over since my code is kinda all over the place.

[timber tide]

well, check the topmost rows of your grid that there isn't a block occupying it there after being set every frame. If there is -> trigger gameover

[kindred pollen]

thats how i figured i should do it but im honestly not sure how to actually do that in C# :(

like i know the absolute basics and thats it

[timber tide]

what would be the indicies for the top most row

iterate over them every frame and check if there is something occupying them

or, when you set the blocks, check if it's one of those indicies. Either way works honestly

[rocky patio]

Well your grid height is 20, so you could build that check into the method CheckForLines

[polar acorn]

Probably because it's facing backwards

[rich adder]

anything rigidbody movement related goes in FixedUpdate

[lethal bolt]

Is there an way to do this?

[rich adder]

transform is not a vector3.

[lethal bolt]

oh

[rocky patio]

Bool IsGameOver()
{
Return HasLine(height);
}

[wintry quarry]

square pegs can't go in round holes, no

[rocky patio]

Or height + 1

[rich adder]

if its a public Transform just assign it in the inspector

[polar acorn]

But everything can go in the square hole

[lethal bolt]

But i want to be able to set it like this (0,0,0)?

[rich adder]

Transform contains position, rotaion and scale.

[polar acorn]

If you want the variable to be 0,0,0 then why is it a Transform

Show a screenshot of the player selected with the transform arrows visible, in both local and global modes

[kindred pollen]

i thought i would need to build an entire other void to transition it to the game over scene

[neon marlin]

How would i go about getting the euler angle between two Vector3s?

[timber tide]

angle

[neon marlin]

is angle the same as a euler angle

[swift crag]

googling "unity vector angle between" gave me the correct result (:

[neon marlin]

ive tried googling obviously if im asking here

[timber tide]

it'll always return the smallest angle though if that matters

[swift crag]

If you want the rotation between two vectors, use Quaternion.FromToRotation

This gives you a rotation that, when applied to the first vector, gives you the second vector

[swift crag]

(Vector3.Angle gives you a single angle, which is the angular distance between the two directions)

[neon marlin]

i want to rotate an arrow so it points from the first vector to the second vector

[rocky patio]

And within the isvalid check so at line 49 add this check

If (IsGameOver(height)) // scène manager call to game over

[polar acorn]

And do you have any code rotating the object at all?

[swift crag]

are these two vectors positions?

[neon marlin]

yes

[swift crag]

okay, so you want an arrow to have its tail at point A and its head at point B

[neon marlin]

2 points on the 2d plane

[kindred pollen]

would i add that still within the CheckForLines void?

[neon marlin]

well the arrow would be at a screen border and pointing towards the To point

[polar acorn]

Your code does not account for any sort of rotation and will always move the object the exact same direction whenever the same buttons are pressed

[neon marlin]

like a waypoint arrow

[swift crag]

and the first point is the center of the screen, or something like that?

[neon marlin]

yes exactly

it would be the camera

[swift crag]

Something like this, then.

[neon marlin]

right

[swift crag]

You want Quaternion.LookRotation.

[neon marlin]

oh

[swift crag]

It's a bit unintuitive in 2D

[polar acorn]

Instead of moving in world space, move in local space. You've explicitly told the code to move in world space which ignores the object's rotation

[rocky patio]

No leave the CheckForLines as it is. A method or function should only do one thing, in this case checkforlines.

[swift crag]

var rotation = Quaternion.LookRotation(Vector3.forward, destination - source);

LookRotation's main use is to rotate a camera in 3D space

[next ravine]

How would you create GUI from purely script?

[swift crag]

The first argument is the "forward" direction, and the second argument is the "up" direction

In 2D, "forward" isn't really relevant: it points into the screen

[polar acorn]

Instantiate(myWholeUIAsAPrefab, Vector3.zero, Quaternion.identity)

[next ravine]

no but like

CREATE it

[kindred pollen]

okay I think I understood what you meant?

https://hatebin.com/jwocutzubi

[swift crag]

This rotation will make your transform.up point in the same direction as the destination - source vector

[next ravine]

not instantiate a prefab

[polar acorn]

A whole lot of new GameObject and AddComponents

[next ravine]

ohh i didnt know you could do new gamobject

[swift crag]

you're going to need to be a little more specific here

[rocky patio]

If (IsGameOver()) // scene manfsr logic. So without the height. My bad

[swift crag]

I create most of my main menu via script.

I have prefabs for things like:

• A settings category list
• A single setting
• A credit category

[next ravine]

making like a slider for example, purely with script. So not like instantiating a prefab

[swift crag]

If you want to do it entirely via script, then yes: create new game objects and add components

note that you'll have to do a lot of legwork for some UI components

the "Slider" preset in the GameObject menu isn't just a Slider component

It's all of this stuff.
