Looks like you're cloning a scene object 🤔

Is impactEffect a reference to the prefab or a scene object?

If it's cloning the object that hit something, they'll likely all hit that something.

[karmic kindle]

It's a reference to a prefab I've set in the inspector, which in this instance happens to be the same prefab as the bullet

omg omg... I created a new prefab for the impactEffect and it doesn't loop. Is this a Unity thing or 100% me?

[astral falcon]

When is the ImpactEffect happening? Like once or multiple times probably?

[ivory bobcat]

You likely referenced a scene object. The excessive (Clone) implies so

[karmic kindle]

The effect is only happening once, but when I think about it, the bullet script is on the prefab, so I assume that when it instantiates the new impactEffect, it's just running everything over as if it were new - at least that's my best guess and I've learned some valuble lessons this morning 😅 🙈

Thanks to all!

[summer grail]

How would I destroy the entire game object if I detected a collision in DestructibleWall Collision? been stuck on this for a few days but I might just be stupid

[late burrow]

so i understand whenever i want make multi type container i should just make new class, but do i really need make 20 different fields for each type?

[languid spire]

Destroy(transform.parent) or Destroy(transform.root)

[summer grail]

thank you

[tender elbow]

Debug.Log(atlas.SpriteCount) and atlas.GetSprites(supplied array) always return 0, disregarding any and all sprites in the atlas. It worked just fine up until a few hours ago and suddenly it broke and now I cant fix it. I've given up, can the Master Of Unity help out with this issue

[astral falcon]

Restart unity, check console for errors.

[tender elbow]

Did both, no errors

[astral falcon]

Simple things like correct atlas set?

[ivory bobcat]

Show us the logs and method that logs

[tender elbow]

References to collections and scripts are set up properly, as have the sprites and the atlas packings.

[astral falcon]

Then as dalphat said, show us the logs/script

[tender elbow]

Here is the code, its called in Start()

Do I drop the big log here or in another channel?

[ivory bobcat]

Screen shot of your console logs

[tender elbow]

Here is the error logs

[astral falcon]

wth!? 😄

[astral falcon]

Fix your errors or do not expect unity to run correct

[tender elbow]

Two other errors are unrelated, am using logerror for the debugging

[burnt vapor]

Please show the code related to the NRE

[astral falcon]

Errors can break your runtime and stop your application from working

Especially null errors

[tender elbow]

Note: worked just fine a while ago with these two errors

[burnt vapor]

Doesn't matter, you should not run your application with errors. Compilation will not work and it leads to undefined behavior in general

[tender elbow]

Elaborate on NRE

[astral falcon]

keeping those errors for "a while" ...

[burnt vapor]

The Null Reference Exception that is shown

[ivory bobcat]

You'll need to fix your nre on line 53 of the player handler

[tender elbow]

PlayerHandler saves and loads the map between different playthroughs and scenes, in order to save the map I need properly setup buildings which I cannot setup anymore because the atlases broke

[ivory bobcat]

Your nre is occurring before your logs. Fix the nre first. Everything else may likely be false positives.

[tender elbow]

No NRE

PlayerHandler was searching for pre-loaded buildings in the scene, however if the scene is null it was returning an error. Fixed

However the issue with asset.GetSprites and asset.SpriteCount still returns 0

[ivory bobcat]

Count is zero, so you'll not get any sprites from the atlas

[tender elbow]

You can see the sprites in the atlas and the atlas attached to the Images collection

[ivory bobcat]

Likely your referring to a different atlas as the console log states there aren't any sprites

[formal venture]

Trying to make a ui toolkit's Progress bar as something functional as a for example Healthbar is a fool's errand? (in contrast to making it on a legacy system)

[tender elbow]

Not the case sadly

I am going over each item in the collection and taking the sprites out of them to supply into an array. Again, it worked completely fine, doing its intended purpose until it just decided to not do so anymore

[ivory bobcat]

It clearly says zero so whatever that atlas reference is has zero sprites

[tender elbow]

Only 1 atlas by that name in the whole project, properly attached to the collection. Is it possible that my code is creating a duplicate of the atlas with 0 sprites? Shouldnt be the case but it wouldnt be new for Unity to hallucinate

I am inclined to believe that it broke after Unity suddenly lost all references to the collection at random, however I am unsure if it has anything to do with it. It's been losing references at random for the past few months but every time I reattach them in the Inspector it resumes its normal activity, be it a prefab or a script or whatever

[ivory bobcat]

You're likely referencing something other than what you think.

[tender elbow]

Lets assume that I am indeed referencing the right atlas, what would the problem be then?

[ivory bobcat]

Log the item:cs Debug.Log($"Click to highlight the Item: {item}", item);

[tender elbow]

It highlights the proper asset

[ivory bobcat]

I'd rather assume the opposite. If you're wanting to suggest what you've said, your only hope would be to try different versions on Unity or recreate the entire project - assuming the project is corrupted.

[ivory bobcat]

And the inspector for this object would be #💻┃code-beginner message ?

[verbal dome]

What is a 'multi type container'?

[tender elbow]

Yes, exactly

[ivory bobcat]

Can you show the inspector for Workshop?

[tender elbow]

Inspector for sprite atlas + inspector for one of the sprites in the atlas, the rest are the same

[verbal dome]

So just a regular class?

[tough trench]

I am new to unity and working on an idle game. I'm trying to make a button switch between showing pickaxe buttons and worker buttons. The code turns the buttons off but not back on does anyone know how i can fix this?

[late burrow]

yes but perhaps there something like object

if i have multiple same datas but in different type

[swift crag]

what are you actually trying to accomplish

[languid spire]

is this code being called from Update?

[storm pine]

Once your game object is set active to false then the Update and everything stop

[tough trench]

yeah

[ivory bobcat]

It should've highlighted an item and not the work shop, if I'm reading your code correctly. Where's the item object?

[languid spire]

once you disable the gameObject, Update no longer runs

[tough trench]

ok thanks

[ivory bobcat]

Where this instance/reference of item should have had a levels property/field/collection

[tender elbow]

Can you elaborate please, I cant seem to understand what you mean

Do you wish to see the collection script

[ivory bobcat]

Item should not have been a sprite atlas so can you show us the item object that was highlighted?

[swift crag]

Note that this doesn't stop you from calling methods on your component -- disabling it only stops Unity from running things like Update and FixedUpdate!

So you can freely call that method from somewhere else (if you make it public, at least)

[tough trench]

Thanks i got it to work

[ivory bobcat]

Can you show the log message produced from #💻┃code-beginner message

[tender elbow]

yea, just a sec, unity crashed

[verbal dome]

I would also try reimporting the sprite atlas asset

[ivory bobcat]

We haven't seen the item object as far as I'm aware - we were given what's assumed to be the last element of the level from supposedly the item object. It should have highlighted the item and not the work shop (last level).

[zealous hatch]

ive seperated the sprites. its hard because i can either make it look good aiming up but bad aiming down or the other way round

[ivory bobcat]

So when you single click the log, the object with a building library component should have been highlighted. Show us the inspector for that object.

[tender elbow]

Sorry if I am doing something wrong

[ivory bobcat]

Use the log I provided - I'm assuming the item is a unity object/component. #💻┃code-beginner message

[jaunty bay]

hi there, im having problems with callback functions.

    {
        Collider2D nearestCollider = FindNearestInteractable();     //get the nearest collider,
        if (nearestCollider != null)                                //and if it's not empty,
        {
            Interact(nearestCollider.gameObject);
            Debug.Log("Interacted from OnInteract() to call Interact()"); //then interact
        }
    }```

for some reason, it runs whats inside OnInteract(), but the debug error log tells me that the method is missing

and to trigger it, im using /// interactAction.performed += OnInteract;

[wintry quarry]

You set something up in the inspector that's broken

Do you have a PlayerInput?

[jaunty bay]

yes, its properly set up

[wintry quarry]

Double check it

And make sure there aren't other copies

[tender elbow]

I couldnt use the exact same code so I had to change it for it to run

[jaunty bay]

movement and others work, only the interact code doesnt

but ok ill double chekc

[wintry quarry]

That doesn't change my advice

[wintry quarry]

It's odd you're doing this if you're using PlayerInput

[astral falcon]

Do you -= somewhere to unregister when disabled?

[ivory bobcat]

Remove the log and put a break point where you've assigned the temp atlas (red circle by clicking to the left of the line number)

[tender elbow]

Attaching the log in a sec

[jaunty bay]

yes, i did

[ivory bobcat]

When you execute the program and it halts on that line, check the details to see the level elements.

[tender elbow]

Hm, it doesnt halt at the break point

[jaunty bay]

i dunno if theres anything wrong, but seems fine to me ...

movement script and other method works, but it only wont work when i use callback

[ivory bobcat]

Make sure to start the debugger before hitting play in the Editor - green arrow up top in Visual Studio.

[wintry quarry]

None of this is the PlayerInput component

You just happened to name your input actions asset with the name "PlayerInput"

Which is incredibly confusing

But I'm talking about the actual PlayerInput component

[tender elbow]

From the inspector or somewhere else?

[jaunty bay]

ok, this was here too, what about it?

do i need to rename the PlayerInput input action?

[wintry quarry]

If you're not using this you should remove it

[wintry quarry]

You don't need to but I would recommend it because it's causing you confusion

[swift crag]

The name collision is not a problem (unless you use the "generate C# class" option, which would give you a class with the same name)

I called my input action asset "Input Actions"

very creative

[jaunty bay]

ive removed it--n now my player wont move

[ivory bobcat]

https://youtu.be/d0815qbx3BA?t=97

[wintry quarry]

Then you were using it

Why are you using two different approaches to input handling

Pick one and stick with it

[jaunty bay]

oh, so thats what im doing currently?

hmm alr lemme check

[wintry quarry]

Yes you're using both the PlayerInput component and a direct reference to your asset

[restive badger]

I sense some heavy chatgpt guidance with that input handling

[jaunty bay]

i use different tutorials 😅

[ivory bobcat]

Verify that the reference item has the correct level referenced, that the level has the correct elements and that the element (work shop) has the correct data (multiple sprites etc) @tender elbow

[tender elbow]

Srry for multiple images

[jaunty bay]

kk ty for the help ill try to fix it

[ivory bobcat]

Count prints zero so most definitely it does not have the correct amount of sprites but you'll also be able to track what's the incorrect reference: item, level or work shop - one or more of these is incorrect.

[restive badger]

You can just change the behavior to unity invoke event then assign manually without having to deal with bindings in the code

[shadow rain]

it does work but the object rotates around itself and i want it to rotae aroun the player

[swift crag]

sounds like you need to correct the pivot point, then

[ivory bobcat]

That temp atlas named workshop sprite atlas has no sprites. Check the line before to see what levels were available and what the item was. There should be a window where you'd be able to inspect the locals and whatnot https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/get-started/csharp/tutorial-debugger?view=vs-2022#inspect-variables-with-the-autos-and-locals-windows @tender elbow

[swift crag]

either by changing the origin of the sprite or by parenting the object to an empty

[lime pewter]

// new pool gameobject
            GameObject newPool = new GameObject();
            newPool.name = "NewPool";
            newPool.transform.parent = liquidManagerTransform.transform;
            newPool.AddComponent<PoolScript>();
            newPool.GetComponent<PoolScript>().blockTilemap = blockTilemap;
            newPool.GetComponent<PoolScript>().liquidType = liquidType;

            Debug.Log(transform.childCount);

            foreach (Transform child in transform)
            {
                child.GetComponent<LiquidScript>().isActive = false;
                child.GetComponent<LiquidScript>().isPooled = true;
                child.parent = newPool.transform;
                if (child.GetComponent<LiquidScript>().GetLiquid(Vector2.up) == null)
                {
                    child.GetComponent<LiquidScript>().isPoolTop = true;
                    if (child.GetComponent<LiquidScript>().GetLiquid(Vector2.down) != null)
                    {
                        child.GetComponent<LiquidScript>().GetLiquid(Vector2.down).GetComponent<LiquidScript>().isPoolTop = false;
                    }
                }
            }
            Destroy(gameObject);

In my liquid "pooling" system, when calling this script on a parent gameobject of children I am trying to move to a new gameobject (that it is also creating) for some reason it will only move 3/5 children before destroying itself, and if I comment out the "Destroy" at the bottom it will keep those two children in this current gameobject, if anyone knows why it would be amazing to find out!

[lime pewter]

The "transform.childCount" also does recognize all five.

[shadow rain]

how can I change the origin point?

[swift crag]

well, is this a sprite, first of all?

i need to get up to speed on what you're doing

[verbal dome]

Changing child.parent inside the loop will mess up the foreach iteration, I think.

Because it gets removed from the children

That you are iterating on

[lime pewter]

Ah, weird. Would there be an easy way to fix that?

I guess that does make sense, though.

[shadow rain]

think so

[verbal dome]

Could try a reverse for loop instead

for(int i = transform.childCount - 1; i >= 0; i--)
{
  var child = transform.GetChild(i);
}

Should work?

[lime pewter]

I'll try it, thanks!

[tender elbow]

I am dropping it and reverting to a push from yesterday, ill try to retrace my steps and see what went wrong and where, thanks for the help nonetheless!

[shadow rain]

it is

[verbal dome]

Note that this might reverse the order of the children under the new parent, if that matters

[lime pewter]

it worked!

[lime pewter]

That shouldn't matter luckily! Appreciate it.

Currently my code is just about as horrible as you could possibly imagine, nearly 800 lines which I could easily rewrite in roughly 150-200 and it's painful to work in, but I am too stubborn to rewrite it until it's finished.

[shadow rain]

it is

[swift crag]

in the sprite editor, you can change the pivot point of the sprite

you want to put it where the sprite should rotate around

[tame mesa]

I don't see the outlines or the camera icon on unity like image 1

Instead, I have the rendering of image 2. When I add Tilemaps, and I launch the game, I do not see them even by double clicking on the camera (image 2)

[swift crag]

This scene is completely empty

ah, I see: you mean that when you add more things, the game view winds up empty

[shadow rain]

sprite renderer?

[swift crag]

show me the inspector for Main Camera

[swift crag]

No. The sprite editor. It's part of the importer for a sprite -- click on the asset in the Project window and look in the inspector

[swift crag]

SpriteRenderer displays a sprite

[swift crag]

tag it as Main Camera

[tame mesa]

Even when I add a capsule and launch the game :

[swift crag]

also, that camera is at a pretty wild position

set its position back to X=0, Y=0, Z=-10

[polar acorn]

Is the capsule actually in view of the camera?

[shadow rain]

idk if it is a sprite anymore cuz i just made a capsule in the normal game winow to the left

[tame mesa]

Since I can't see the contours of the camera rendering, I don't know

[polar acorn]

Why not? Go into scene view and select the camera

See where it's pointing

[swift crag]

you're going to have to show me what you're actually doing

[swift crag]

you have gizmos off

top right corner of the scene view

turn them back on

[swift crag]

okay, so you're using a built-in sprite

[shadow rain]

ye

[verbal dome]

If you want the shield to rotate around a different point, you can put it under an empty parent object

Then rotate the parent

[swift crag]

yep

[polar acorn]

#💻┃code-beginner message

[swift crag]

Make an empty object positioned in the center of the player

parent the shield to that, and rotate that object

[terse plume]

I can't wrap my head around the localization plurals format
{0:plural:an apple|{} apples}
so...
-0 is where my replacement happens, I can name a field there

• :plural the literal word "plural" because reasons?
• :the singular version okay, singular first...
• |the plural version why with a | if singular was with :??? how can I make the zero case? what about languages with duals or other plurals???

I don't get it 🥲

[tame mesa]

With guizmos + reset position + capsule on center = playmode nothing appear

[polar acorn]

Look at it in 3D. Is it in view of the camera frustum?

How far away from the camera is it?

[shadow rain]

ty it works

[shadow rain]

[lethal bolt]

Why isnt it possible to set an transform to an clone?

prefab**

[verbal dome]

What does this mean/what did you try to do?

[lethal bolt]

I cant set the PlayerPos to Player?

[verbal dome]

Why?

What

[polar acorn]

Prefabs cannot reference objects in the scene

[verbal dome]

Oh it's a prefab

[swift crag]

https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.localization@1.0/manual/Smart/Plural-Formatter.html

[polar acorn]

Prefabs can exist anywhere. Objects in the scene only exist when that scene is loaded

[swift crag]

There are many formatters.

the plural formatter is one of them

hence needing to use :plural to indicate you're using the plural formatter

[polar acorn]

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

[tame mesa]

contact , but it's really annoying because I can move a 3D object but not tiles

[polar acorn]

You can move anything

Every object has a transform

[swift crag]

The documentation should explain everything.

[tame mesa]

Okay, but in the tutorials, the camera is directly configured so as not to have to do that, why don't I have a result similar to that:

[polar acorn]

Because your camera is not directly configured so as not to have to do that

For example, your camera is perspective. If you're trying to work in 2D, why are you using a 3D camera projection?

[tame mesa]

I simply use the basic camera added on new 2d project

[polar acorn]

IF your project was created as a 3D project, the default camera is perspective. If it's a 2D project, it'd be Orthographic

It just changes the default, you can go in and change it whenever

[tame mesa]

Ok , I've recreate one again the project , seen be fix now

I don't really understand because I've already done it twice without having this result, even if I change to a perspective camera, the result is not like the one I showed above

[polar acorn]

The screenshot from the tutorial is an orthographic camera, not perspective

[final kestrel]

This code here will give the first item in database an id of 0?

[verbal dome]

Yes

[languid spire]

why the double initialization of the Dictionary?

[tender breach]

Update: I found out the problem was that it was detecting the bottom and not the clone. How can I make OnTriggerEnter2D detect multiple game objects.

[polar acorn]

It already does

It'll detect every trigger interaction

[tender breach]

Does it not detect clones or

[polar acorn]

It'll detect every trigger interaction

Any time this object enters a trigger interaction (whether it's entering a trigger or something else is entering this thing's trigger), it'll call OnTriggerEnter

[tender breach]

Well the gameObject that's the clone still isn't changing.

And it's detecting it, so IDK what happened

[polar acorn]

I have zero context as to what this means, but I can assure you that every pair of objects involved in a trigger interaction will call that function on both of them

If the function isn't calling, a trigger interaction isn't happening

[final kestrel]

I'm just watching a video. He says to clear the dictionary so we do not duplicate anything.

[polar acorn]

The Three Commandments of OnTriggerEnter2D:

1. Thou Shalt have a 2D Collider on each object
2. Thou Shalt tick isTrigger on at least one of them
3. Thou Shalt have a 2D Rigidbody on at least one of them

[final kestrel]

But he also says we cannot serialize dictionaries. Then what is even the point of using the OnAfterDeserialize? Can you deserialize something you could not serialize?

[languid spire]

I can guarantee you, when OnAfterDeserialize is called the Dictionary is initialized and empty

[timber tide]

Doesn't seem like that would do anything. Use a list to store you entries and initialize the dict in start/awake

[final kestrel]

Ah so there is no need to initialize it again since it will be empty okay.

[languid spire]

exactly

[final kestrel]

So the OnAfterDeserialize is like something general? Does it get called whenever Unity deserializes ANYTHING?

[languid spire]

why are you using it if you do not know this?

[timber tide]

Usually I use the ISeralization interface methods when I cannot use onvalidate

[final kestrel]

Ah no I am not using it. I was just watching this video and I read the document but I just got confused.

[final kestrel]

I will make sure to look up OnValidate

[languid spire]

Do not get confused. OnAfterDeserialize is called by Unity immediatly after the data has been deserialized so that you can do things like fill non serializable data

[final kestrel]

It should work well with Scriptable objects then hm

I'm using newtonsofts json serializer anyways I believe I can just serialize the dictionary

[languid spire]

so, for example rebuilding Dictionarys is a perfect example.
you should also have a OnBeforeSerialize to fill the List from the Dictionary so that that can be serialized

[languid spire]

but that will not call OnAfterDeserialize, that is Unity serialization only

[loud python]

Hey guys I've been learning a lot! I've been working on this Player Controller script for the last 2 weeks. Everything works fine, but over the days I know for a fact I've double called things in the update, have a couple unused methods. Was wondering how I could clean this up? https://paste.ofcode.org/3b6amWMKR4vnPXwXj3qBWM4

[final kestrel]

Ah makes sense. Thanks

[wintry quarry]

• delete any unused methods
• Get rid of duplicate code like:

        CheckCurrentSpeed();
        MovementBugFix();
        CheckCurrentSpeed();
        MovementBugFix();```

[loud python]

The update just looks....a mess...lol I know it gets the job done but.. ya know

Fixed those btw^ ty

[wintry quarry]

it is a mess

    public bool isMovementState = false;
    public bool isIdleState = false;
    public bool isWalkingState = false;
    public bool isBaseMovementState = false;
    public bool isRunningState = false;```
This absolutely needs fixing

You should use an enum

[swift crag]

MovementBugFixForReal()

[loud python]

I will have to watch a tutorial on enums as I've never used them, but heard of them. its like a method that stores values and can be called anywhere correct?

[steel valve]

Hi, im having the following problem: i created a trigger "Explodir" so i can do a transition from the state "Any state" to the State "Explosion", i set the trigger in my script but the animation doesnt play, although my trigger was activated. Am i forgetting something?

[polar acorn]

An enum is basically an int with a hat that you can't do math on. You just assign names to distinct values that you can use to check for equality.

[loud python]

ahh, so for example I can call it from another script so how would that look? the same as calling a static?

[wintry quarry]

no. It defines a type that can have a number of different values and holds one such value at a time

[wintry quarry]

It's just a datatype like any other

nothing special about how it is referenced or called from other classes

[polar acorn]

It's creating a Type, that you can use like any other type, but that type only has pre-defined named values in it

So you could create a Stats enum that contains HP, MP, STR, DEX, CON, and if you tried to do Stats.LUCK it wouldn't let you because that doesn't actually exist

[loud python]

Whats the benefit of using enums vs this ^

[wintry quarry]

for example:

// Define the type
enum State {
  Idle,
  Walking,
  Running
}

// Use the type in a variable, like any other type:
State currentState = State.Walking;
// More examples
if (currentState == State.Idle) {
  currentState = State.Running
}```

[wintry quarry]

this has 32 possible states

[polar acorn]

Because all of that becomes one line:

public State CurrentState;

and you can no longer be in more than one state at a time

[loud python]

oh!!! this looks way better

[wintry quarry]

what happens if isIdleState is true AND isWalkingState is true

what does that mean?

With the enum that's not possible

[loud python]

they will never be true at the same time,

[timber tide]

it's up to you to keep it consistent then

one gripe I have with the animator is there isn't actually an enum option so you basically do have to juggle bools

[verbal dome]

Or ints, but yeah it's hard to maintain

[wintry quarry]

sure unless you make a mistake

[swift crag]

Making invalid states impossible to represent makes your code more reliable

[summer stump]

The should never be true at the same time.
With an enum, you can change that to will

[dense root]

So I'm getting an unintended behavior using this for loop, where it fills the same letter twice (え=e). I want it to fill it out using the rest of the characters in the array

// "For loop, skips the picked value and continues to skip one iteration"
for (int i = 0; i < 4; ++i)
{
    // If we encounter randomInt2 we just skip it
    if (i == randomInt2)
    {
        continue;
    }

    // Set the text randomly between 0 and 4
    answerButtonText[i].text = answerKey[hiraganaArray[i]];
}

[swift crag]

are you sure that hiraganaArray does not contain a duplicate?

and that answerKey is correct?

[dense root]

I think so, yes

void HiraganaDictionary()
{
    answerKey.Add("あ", "a");
    answerKey.Add("い", "i");
    answerKey.Add("う", "u");
    answerKey.Add("え", "e");
    answerKey.Add("お", "o");
}

string[] hiraganaArray = { "あ", "い", "う", "え" ,"お"};

[swift crag]

didn't you pick a random item from that array and set a random answer button to display it?

[dense root]

Yeah, but I was having some trouble implementing that so I wanted to break it down into smaller bites

[swift crag]

show the rest of your code

[dense root]

Okay

https://gdl.space/ojixoduhut.cs

[swift crag]

first, rename these variables

randomInt is meaningless

chosenHiraganaIndex, maybe

[dense root]

Ahh, okay

[swift crag]

randomInt2 should become chosenButtonIndex

this code will always write え into the last button, assuming that chosenButtonIndex is not 3

so if it also happens to randomly choose え to be the correct answer, and it doesn't put the correct answer into the button at index 3, you'll get a duplicate

You need to pick a random character for each of the answer buttons -- and you need to exclude the character that is already the correct answer

You can easily do this by making a list of the possible choices and removing characters as you use them.

[dense root]

furiously begins to take notes

Oh I see... so I need to modify my codes so that I am selecting a random character for one of the answer buttons, then "excluding" them from the list by removing them from the list. Then removing characters as I need them. Something like this:

1 - あ
2 - い
3 - う
4 - え
５ーお

あ has been removed, therefore the list shrinks to a count of 4 and we select at random the rest of the values

[swift crag]

Yes. And you skip over the button that you've already assigned the correct answer to.

[ionic zephyr]

Can CharacterController be used for NPC´s??

[wintry quarry]

of course

[verbal dome]

Sure, but if you want to use the navmesh then you might as well just use NavMeshAgent to move it instead

[ionic zephyr]

Okay, thanks

[young fossil]

What is the design pattern, if you could call it that, where you have a script that primarily acts for references. So it would for example, it could contain serialized fields for each component, the other scripts would reference that script

[night mural]

I guess you could call that a 'store' but it just sounds like 'programming' to me. Your program is made of data and functions and programming is deciding where to put them.

[verbal dome]

Maybe a manager or a singleton

[timber tide]

Sounds like some manager, but rather having other scripts full access to those references the manager should handle the inbetween and expose only what's required

[young fossil]

Is it conventional? As in, have you seen it being used to an effective way before?

[night mural]

I feel like manager implies that it has behavior, which it sounds like this doesn't, an singleton implies information about how to use that object, not really what it actually does

[verbal dome]

Very common in game development

At least with unity

[young fossil]

Could I use a struct for it

[timber tide]

Ah, true. I guess it reads more like a table/database then

[night mural]

Most programs need to solve 'where do i store my objects that i created?' as a first principle. Unity obfuscates that for you by storing your objects serialized in the scene/components/etc , but that system is limited so you'll often end up needing to store your own data as well

[young fossil]

In another other case, I'd just make it a struct and call it a day. But since Unity is such a large program i'd like to know if it actually is useful to be struct in this use case

[night mural]

if you want to store references, it doesn't really make sense for it to be a struct (unless it's a ref struct, but I would say keep it simple until you understand those things well)

[young fossil]

I mean, in C# you use a struct for exactly that

For storing groups of variables without much code

[night mural]

you sure can, but why would you? that struct is essentially behaving like a class

[timber tide]

You can get away with static types, but when you're dealing with scenes and volatile monobehaviour data, then something like a singleton becomes more preferable as you can clean them up with the scenes (or move them to the next so they do get that full static behaviour if you wanted)

[young fossil]

It isn't though, is it? It is storing data that is being referenced and used somewhere else

Maybe in Unity's case, it would be a class, that's what I'm trying to understand

[night mural]

structs are value types, but if you store a reference type in there, it's just storing that reference, and if the only thing in your struct is reference types, it essentially is a reference type

this has nothing to do with unity

you are right that practically i'm not sure you'd see much difference

but that being the case, you should do the more semantically correct thing, which imo is to use a class

[young fossil]

Okay, yea, thank you guys I see what you're saying

Think I need to redesign what I'm trying to do

[night mural]

sounds like game dev to me 🙂 If you're looking for other approaches, I'm a propnent of pretending that unity doesn't exist and making most of your game/logic in C#, and then mapping that over to unity's stuff to display it

[toxic frigate]

hello all, i've been trying to get something to work for a while, but i'm not sure how to approach this
i have a function which i want to take a gameobject as an argument, a list as another argument, and loop through each child of the gameobject and then, if a certain script is found on a child, add it to the list
this is what I have so far:
private void FindAllComponentHealths(Transform parent, List<componentHealth> list) { foreach (Transform child in parent) { list.Add(child.GetComponent<componentHealth>()); } }

[void raptor]

i have a problem, i have this helicopter object that should move when this funcion https://paste.ofcode.org/EVX6s3RGApGSG9gV8LyR4w is called but when called the helicopter stays still and it doesnt move, can someone help?

[languid spire]

not good

private void FindAllComponentHealths(Transform parent, List<componentHealth> list)
    {
        foreach (Transform child in parent)
        {
            var ch = child.GetComponent<componentHealth>();
            if (ch != null) list.Add(ch);
        }
    }

[verbal dome]

GetComponentsInChildren also exists

[languid spire]

true, but changing the API call will not help OP understand what he did wrong

[verbal dome]

Yep

[void raptor]

is the problem the rigidbody? becouse i tried to remove it but nothing changes

nvm i resolved the problem

[wintry quarry]

You should not be moving via the Transform of you have a Rigidbody

[void raptor]

Thanks

[chrome valve]

ew what are these charactes

[dense root]

It's Japanese!

[polar acorn]

Hiragana

[chrome valve]

oh.

i saw that in anime once, cool

i just realized, how do i stop shadows from double casting?

[verbal dome]

What does that mean?

This is a code channel btw.

[chrome valve]

oh shoot you're right 🤦‍♂️ sorry

[verbal dome]

If you have two shadows then you probably have two light sources

[ionic zephyr]

how can i create knockback with CharacterController

[rich adder]

You have to manually lerp the cc.Move

[summer stump]

Is ew really what you believe an appropriate response to another language is?

[winter maple]

with urp 2d, can i make a freeform light bounce off of a sprite?

I wanna have some kind of light that shines through the window and just wanna make it if the players walks infront of that light, he blocks off the light with his sprite

[formal venture]

How can i reference and interact with properties of this object aside from the start/awake function?

[polar acorn]

collider

[ionic zephyr]

oh, okay thanks

[fair temple]

can i prohibit when player walks into the wall and passing the wall with Physics.CapsuleCast ?

[slender nymph]

you can store a reference to the progress bar in a field then just use that in whatever method you'd like

[polar acorn]

Does the player have a collider, and are you moving it with something other than direct teleportation

That's teleportation

That's not going to respect any colliders whatsoever

You are going to need to either move it using a Rigidbody or CharacterController, or manually check for colliders with a raycast and determine if your move is legal before doing it

[misty pecan]

how i access the child of a prefab

[formal venture]

umh could you give me some example? im not sure i understand.

[slender nymph]

if it helps you understand, a field is a class-level variable
if you don't understand from that, then there are beginner c# courses pinned in this channel

[faint sluice]

Prefab.transform.getchild(i);

[misty pecan]

thank you

[formal venture]

okay, thanks

[faint sluice]

Do notice it will give you only transform of the child, if you want something else that's on child you'll have to use get component etc

[misty pecan]

was about to ask that thank you

[zealous hatch]

why does my character do this

`private void OnLook(InputValue value)
{
mouseWorldPos = Camera.main.ScreenToWorldPoint(value.Get<Vector2>());

}

private void LookAtMouse(Transform Wrapper)
{
var dir = (mouseWorldPos - (Vector2)Wrapper.position).normalized;

if (!flipTowardsMouse)
{
    FlipX(dir.x);
}

Wrapper.right = dir * Mathf.Sign(transform.localScale.x);
var eulerDir = Wrapper.localEulerAngles;
eulerDir.z = Math.Clamp(
    eulerDir.z - (eulerDir.z > 180 ? 360 : 0), bottomAngleLimit, topAngleLimit);
Wrapper.localEulerAngles = eulerDir;

}`

[misty pecan]

how would i make it so a prefabs child gameobject can use the SetActive method

[summer stump]

We need some more detail. The child can already call SetActive on many things

[misty pecan]

i have code in a prefab which has a child, how do set the child inactive/active because ive only figured out how to access its transform component

[slender nymph]

SetActive is a method on the GameObject class. get its gameobject if you already have a reference to it

[summer stump]

You reference the gameobject in the same way you got the transform

[slender nymph]

every component, including Transform has a reference to the gameobject it is attached to via the gameObject property

[zealous hatch]

character starts drift looking away when not moving mouse

private void OnLook(InputValue value)
{
    mouseWorldPos = Camera.main.ScreenToWorldPoint(value.Get<Vector2>());

}


private void LookAtMouse(Transform Wrapper)
{
    var dir = (mouseWorldPos - (Vector2)Wrapper.position).normalized;

    if (!flipTowardsMouse)
    {
        FlipX(dir.x);
    }

    Wrapper.right = dir * Mathf.Sign(transform.localScale.x);
    var eulerDir = Wrapper.localEulerAngles;
    eulerDir.z = Math.Clamp(
        eulerDir.z - (eulerDir.z > 180 ? 360 : 0), bottomAngleLimit, topAngleLimit);
    Wrapper.localEulerAngles = eulerDir;
}

[misty pecan]

radius = transform.GetChild(0);
radius = radius.gameObject;

why does this not work?

[short hazel]

Normal, when you don't move the mouse, void OnLook() isn't executed so your mouseWorldPos keeps its last value

[zealous hatch]

ah so put it in a update function?

[slender nymph]

because c# is statically typed, you cannot change the type of a variable and GameObject is not the same as a Transform

if you want radius to be a GameObject type then make it a GameObject type and just access .gameObject on the first line on the returned object from GetChild

or make it public or serialized and assign in the inspector (this is better)

[misty pecan]

i cant because its a prefab

[short hazel]

Call LookAtMouse() more frequently yes

[slender nymph]

yes you can. the prefab can reference its own children just fine

[summer stump]

Is it being made a child at runtime?

[zealous hatch]

would it not be the OnLook function?

[misty pecan]

how? when i click on it in my assets folder i cant see the child

[summer stump]

Answer my question

[slender nymph]

double click the prefab to open it up in the prefab editor context

[short hazel]

No. OnLook gets called by the Input System, you should not be running that yourself

[zealous hatch]

my LookAtMouse is in the update function

[misty pecan]

i dont understand what it means sorry

[summer stump]

Is the child attached to the prefab before hitting play? Or is it added by code after hitting play

Likely just do what boxfriend said. You will find out immediately

[misty pecan]

its attached to the prefab before hitting play

wait i think i couldve just used serializefield this whole time

i didnt realise it worked on prefabs

[slender nymph]

yes, that's what i said to do. and you told me you couldn't

my bad sorry thanks very much

[short hazel]

Call it from OnLook() then, if you don't want the rotation to be affected when you don't touch the mouse

[summer stump]

Instantiate returns a reference to the thing you instantiate. You did not save that to a variable, so you threw away that reference

brb is not that bullet

[queen adder]

Meaning

Im very confused 😅

[summer stump]

What is brb

Hint, it is not the bullet

[queen adder]

Bullet rigid body

[short hazel]

lmao Discord has flagged your profile as spammer

[summer stump]

Nope

[short hazel]

Just on my side?

[summer stump]

Maybe the rigidbody of the PREFAB, but not the one you just instantiated

[summer stump]

Didn't pop up for me

[slender nymph]

i see it too lol

[queen adder]

Brb is the variable i made for the bullets rigid body

[slender nymph]

but where do you assign to it?

[summer stump]

And you put the prefab in it, I'm guessing

[queen adder]

Am i supposed to know something hear

[summer stump]

Yes, the basics of unity

Well im very new to unity

Definitely check this out

I recommend the essentials pathway, and then the junior programmer pathway

[queen adder]

Thanks will check it out

[summer stump]

Your issue is because you are trying to set the velocity of the prefab instead of the gameobject in the scene

myNewRigidbody= Instantiate
myNewRigidbody.velocity =

You have to modify the new thing, not the prefab

[rich adder]

wth is this lol

#💻┃code-beginner message

[queen adder]

oh okm thanks

[summer stump]

I guess I am the only one not seeing it

[rich adder]

oh wow lol thats weird

[misty pecan]

is there a thing that checks when a key is pressed instead of down?

[wintry quarry]

sure is

depending on what you mean by "pressed" and "down"

There's GetKey, GetKeyDown, GetKeyUp

[misty pecan]

so even if u hold it down it only does it once

[wintry quarry]

GetKeyDown

[misty pecan]

does it work like that?

[slender nymph]

what do the docs say?

[wintry quarry]

Would I lie to you?

[misty pecan]

no im just confused cause my codes not working

[wintry quarry]

Sounds like a problem with your code

[misty pecan]

if (!radius)
{
if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Space))
{
radius.SetActive(true);
}
}
else
{
if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Space))
{
radius.SetActive(false);
}
}

when i press space it just goes inactive again straight away

what can i do?

[wintry quarry]

if (!radius)
            {
                if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Space))
                {
                    radius.SetActive(true);
                }
            }```
Well this code is simply sure to either not run at all or to cause a NullReferenceException

What are you trying to do?

Toggle it?

[misty pecan]

yeah toggle it

[outer coral]

radius is a GameObject not a bool

[wintry quarry]

Just do this:

if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Space)) {
  radius.SetActive(!radius.activeSelf);
}```

delete everything else

[misty pecan]

ok ill try

[slender nymph]

UnityEngine.Object has an implicit cast to bool

[short hazel]

!radius is the same as doing radius == null. If your object does not exist that statement will always be successful

[wintry quarry]

doing if (!radius) doesn't check if it's not active - it checks if it exists

[outer coral]

yes i just meant hes trying to use it as a bool but its just null checking

[misty pecan]

!radius.active then?

[wintry quarry]

No this

I already showed you the way

[misty pecan]

when i wrote this it told me .active was obsolete in vs

[wintry quarry]

Because it's wrong

I showed you how

[misty pecan]

aight

[short hazel]

.activeSelf as the example shows

[slender nymph]

right but you said nothing about it being a null check compared to what they were actually wanting to check, you implied that what they had was wrong because it isn't a bool

[short hazel]

No need for the outer if statement

[misty pecan]

could you explain why this works, thanks btw

specifically this radius.SetActive(!radius.activeSelf)

[wintry quarry]

"If I press the key, set the active state of the radius object to the opposite of the current state"

[misty pecan]

ohhh

thats smart

[real falcon]

why do I not have the "Convert to FBX Prefab Variant" option?

#💻┃unity-talk

[stark moss]

so i am new to C# and i'm trying to export a sprite, this to be specific, this is the code for it.

using UnityEngine;
using UnityEditor;
using System.IO;

public class SpriteExporter : MonoBehaviour
{
    [MenuItem("Tools/Export Sprite")]
    static void ExportSprite()
    {
        // Get the selected sprite
        if (Selection.activeObject is Sprite)
        {
            Sprite sprite = (Sprite)Selection.activeObject;
            Texture2D texture = sprite.texture;
            Rect rect = sprite.textureRect;

            // Create a new texture with the dimensions of the sprite
            Texture2D newTexture = new Texture2D((int)rect.width, (int)rect.height);
            newTexture.SetPixels(texture.GetPixels((int)rect.x, (int)rect.y, (int)rect.width, (int)rect.height));
            newTexture.Apply();

            // Convert the texture to PNG
            byte[] bytes = newTexture.EncodeToPNG();
            string path = EditorUtility.SaveFilePanel("Save Sprite", "", sprite.name + ".png", "png");
            if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(path))
            {
                File.WriteAllBytes(path, bytes);
                Debug.Log("Sprite exported to: " + path);
            }
        }
        else
        {
            Debug.LogError("Selected object is not a sprite!");
        }
    }
}

For some reason, be it the sprite in the heirarchy or the actual sprite in the sprite sheet, Its not reading it as a sprite for some reason and throws this error. "Selected object is not a sprite". (for debug purposes), Is there a way to export a singular sprite, from a sprite sheet, animations Included? or is that not possible.

[rich adder]

when you export an image its not considered a sprite

its a texture

you have to make the texture type a sprite

[stark moss]

ah so would I select the warrior_sheet-effect in the heirarchy?

and change the type to a sprite

or would I select the sprite sheet itself

and change its type

[rich adder]

you would have to change the asset itself

[stark moss]

gotcha

[rich adder]

You can use the AssetImporter to modify this in the code directly

[stark moss]

not sure how i'd do that 😂

[rich adder]

after you save it in the Unity assets you grab its path and use the utility class

I have somewhat example asset that does this if you want to inspect the code

[stark moss]

yes please

[rich adder]

this is the asset I use it for
https://github.com/navarone77/Screenshotie

but Ill show/send you the code

[stark moss]

the asset is a sprite

[rich adder]

wait you're trying to extract sprites out of a sprite sheet?

[stark moss]

yeah like a single sprite specifically this one

[rich adder]

what a coincidence 😅
https://github.com/navarone77/SpriteExtractor

[stark moss]

bro has made everything 😂

[rich adder]

i make obscure shit that maybe someone might use

tbh this is stuff that should be built in cause its dead simple

I'd like to add a way to only select specific sprites but I got lazy

[stark moss]

you should do that

[rich adder]

plus it was my first time playing around with UIToolkit 😮

yeah def next update

[stark moss]

if I download this, do I need the code?

[rich adder]

not really

[stark moss]

or can this work fine for exporting purposes

alr thank you so much

[rich adder]

try it out and let me know if you dont mind

[stark moss]

gotcha

[rich adder]

but its battletested so far 🤞

[stark moss]

@rich adder forgot to ask cause I was trynna figure it out, how would I install this I know it says it right there but not sure where releases is

[rich adder]

ah I should put the link in the Readme woops

you see on the Right side "Releases"

here https://github.com/navarone77/SpriteExtractor/releases/tag/v1.0

[stark moss]

I just clicked this

the download zip

[rich adder]

nah thats for copying a repo

[stark moss]

ohh

[rich adder]

you only need the .unitypackage

from page I linked you

[stark moss]

got it

[thick nexus]

Does anyone have any idea why this might be happening?

[slender nymph]

camera clear flags set to none?

[stark moss]

would I put it inside the package folder or the project folder itself?

[thick nexus]

You were right, thank you

[slender nymph]

neither. https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/AssetPackagesImport.html

[rich adder]

did you win solitaire ?

[stark moss]

ty

[thick nexus]

I didn't understand

[rich adder]

oh haha only old farts like me probably understand this one

when you used win solitaire

[chrome apex]

hello

i want to make in my game system where you have to find and collect 10 items, and then you will win, how do i do it?

[rich adder]

learn how to add to an integer

learn how to use OnTriggerEnter

[chrome apex]

is there any tutorials on youtube for this?

[rich adder]

im sure there is a youtube that covers collecting items yes

[chrome apex]

because i cant find it

[polar acorn]

What part do you not know how to do

[chrome apex]

everything

the raycast system

[rich adder]

maybe start from the very beginning

!learn

do the pathways first

[ember tangle]

tutorials are only worth it if you understand coding enough to understand what is happening and be able to modify and expand the code in the tutorial as needed

[rich adder]

you dont really need raycast as beginner to do collecting stuff

simple triggers

[chrome apex]

yeah im doing it always

[outer coral]

https://letmegooglethat.com/?q=how+to+use+ontriggerenter+unity+youtube

[chrome apex]

but i want raycast not just walk and pick up

[rich adder]

so learn raycast

its dead simple

[chrome apex]

where

[outer coral]

the internet

[rich adder]

the youtubes

[polar acorn]

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Physics.Raycast.html

[rich adder]

google

docs ^

even better

[chrome apex]

i cant find it in my langauge

[rich adder]

translate it

[chrome apex]

ok

thx

[ember tangle]

The observer pattern is baked into C# right? I can just use delegates?

[polar acorn]

I wouldn't call it "baked in", but events and delegates are a simple way to implement an observer pattern

You do still have to do stuff, it's not automatic

it just gives you some nifty tools for handling it

[thick nexus]

I have another question, I have a character that walks on a tilemap. When I use a Box Collider many times it gets stuck, somewhere I saw that for that not to happen, I should use a Circle Collider, but when I use the Circle Collider, for some reason, the character many times bounces when it moves Does anyone know how to fix this?

[chrome apex]

do i have to watch all 750hours to learn unity

[rich adder]

once you go observer, is hard not keep using it

its vital learning

[rich adder]

no they all have different topics

[ember tangle]

I'm using a reference that has it coded out in classes in C++, but if I can just use delegates I will.

[chrome apex]

is there russian version of this

[rich adder]

maybe ? look around

if you're fluent in the language I got a business proposition for you xD

[chrome apex]

yeah im fluent in russian

[rich adder]

If i recall correct you need to fix this by using a Composite collider

[chrome apex]

what proposition?

[rich adder]

it was a joke. (implying we can make a rus version of Unity learn, i see bigg $$)

[chrome apex]

oh

[thick nexus]

It works, ty

[stark moss]

@rich adder sorry for ping 😂 you now how I would resolve this error?

[rich adder]

😮 well thats..Interesting..I need to look into this one

how many tiles does your spritesheet?

although i test one with over 800 sprites so idk if that is

[stark moss]

unless you mean the slice

[rich adder]

yeah the slices

[rich adder]

no its already sliced.. I meant the whiteboxes

[stark moss]

oh not sure how I would check

[rich adder]

It could be limitation of the texture method

ill check real quick and report back sry

[zealous hatch]

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

that didnt work

either way any clue why my character doesnt run?

[rich adder]

not with a single line of code no

[zealous hatch]

haha sorry i was pasting the rest

[rich adder]

test if the script is even running

[zealous hatch]

how do i do the c# things

also would you mind sending me the image you used and how you did it up to that point ?

[zealous hatch]

    private float horizontal;
    private float speed = 6f;
    private float jumpingPower = 12f;
    private bool isFacingRight = true;

   private void FixedUpdate()
   {
 //This defines it so we know that horizontal = the unity setting
 horizontal = Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal");

       //stops them from moving

       //the character has a rigid body which has a vector. We are changing the x and y values to whatever our horizontal variable is * speed.
       rb.velocity = new Vector2(horizontal * speed, rb.velocity.y);

       


       
        

[rich adder]

is this the whole script ? send via links

you're missing a lot of shit

also did you verify the code is running .?

[stark moss]

@rich adder this is the .png for the sprite, but its mostly an Import I took from unity asset store, also as for I set the settings for the sprite, as for splicing I clicked the sprite sheet window -> 2d -> sprite editor

[zealous hatch]

okay one sec will send a paste bin.

[rich adder]

its not that many sprites thats why Im confused on why that happened 😅

[zealous hatch]

really insanely weird....

i reset unity and it started working. I reset it because i couldnt drag anything

[rocky canyon]

classic unity bug

[rich adder]

ok this is weird I'm getting the same error now..

[stark moss]

I LOVE UNITY!

[rich adder]

probably just my shitty script. Though to be fair it was perfectly working when i uploaded it lol

let me test 2021 project, something might've changed in 2022

[stark moss]

alright, thank you

[rich adder]

Ok yeah I'm not crazy...
we can safely blame unity (kinda)

so it works perfectly fine in unity 2021

something in 2022 changed that broke the code..huh..

[stark moss]

so do I revert

[rich adder]

nah

I need to change my code to work with 2022

[quick pollen]

if I do transform.rotation = quaternion.identity why doesnt it reset the rotation

public class RotateAuto : MonoBehaviour
{
    public float speed_X = 0f;
    public float speed_Y = 0f;
    public float speed_Z = 0f;
    void FixedUpdate()
    {
        transform.Rotate(speed_X, speed_Y, speed_Z);
    }
    void OnDisable(){
        transform.rotation = Quaternion.identity;
        Debug.Log(transform.rotation);
    }
}```

[misty pecan]

how to get the parent of an object you collide with?

[rich adder]

you dont reset the floats though

[polar acorn]

.transform.parent

[misty pecan]

thanks

[swift crag]

I wonder if you're getting one more FixedUpdate

[quick pollen]

wdym

[swift crag]

Probably not, but try logging it

[quick pollen]

the floats are a constant speed

[rich adder]

wait nvm sorry i misunderstood

[quick pollen]

thats my thought too

but idk how to avoid it

[swift crag]

print to find out

[misty pecan]

how can i get the gameobject?

[polar acorn]

.gameObject

[swift crag]

also, you should still use Time.deltaTime in FixedUpdate so that you the speeds are per-second, not per-physics-update

I discovered a bug in a friend's library when I adjusted fixedDeltaTime 😛

[misty pecan]

thanks

[swift crag]

their code assumed the timestep would always be 0.02

[zealous hatch]

what would be the best way to change sprite depending on where the mouse pointer is (degree rise)

[quick pollen]

im not getting an update in plus

[swift crag]

Is there a rigidbody involved? An Animator?

I bet 4 dabloons it's the former

[quick pollen]

nope

[swift crag]

an interpolated rigidbody, even

darm

i tried to type darn and damn at the same time

[quick pollen]

the object literally only has the RotateAuto script

thats it.

[rocky canyon]

Could anyone with Unity6 open test to see if rich text works in the console?

[quick pollen]

I also have this on an object which looks towards the player

[rocky canyon]

Unity6

Unity 2023

[quick pollen]

@swift crag like its okay keeping that object looking towards the player no?

[quick pollen]

Time.deltaTime in FixedUpdate gets converted to Time.fixedDeltaTime

[swift crag]

Correct.

[swift crag]

If you change the value of Time.fixedDeltaTime, then this code will make the enemy spin too fast

(or slow)

[stark moss]

alr lemme know whenever you get to it 😭

[quick pollen]

i know yeah

i literally have no clue whats happening

[swift crag]

what if you make it spin in Update instead?

[quick pollen]

still incorrect

what the actual fuck is this even

if I set the rotation to 0

why isnt it fucking 0

it keeps looking at the player if I don't turn on the autorotate

which is good

[rich adder]

Holy hell it was a simple fix..

[stark moss]

you want me to redownload it?

[rich adder]

give me a second, i need to upload a new version

[ivory bobcat]

Is the object the child of another?

[swift crag]

oh right

duh

it's the world rotation

i completely blanked on that

[ivory bobcat]

What you'd see in the inspector would be the local rotation

[stark moss]

[swift crag]

(that'd be the local rotation)

[quick pollen]

and?

[swift crag]

you're setting the world rotation to Quaternion.identity

you're looking at the local rotation in the inspector

[ivory bobcat]

If you want the inspector to match what you've assigned, assign it to the local rotation

[quick pollen]

kill me

[swift crag]

they will differ if the parent has a rotation

[quick pollen]

please

no way

[rich adder]

https://github.com/navarone77/SpriteExtractor/releases/tag/v1.1
here ya go, let me know how it goes 🙂

[quick pollen]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAA

im so done

thank you so much

[stark moss]

thanks man

i'll reinstall later

[quick pollen]

least stupid fucking thing in unity btw

it was my fault sure

but its still stupid

[swift crag]

it would be not be useful to see the world position, rotation, and scale in the inspector (partially because the world scale isn't even something you can reliably set for a transform with a non-uniformly-scaled parent)

[quick pollen]

yea but it looked like it got left at a random ass rotation every time

[tame mesa]

Hi,

For my 2d game, I've created Physic Material to fix a problem when my player is stuck between 2 tiles.

But I can't assign the material on my BoxCollider, and I don't understand why

[swift crag]

You made a PhysicMaterial

You need a PhysicsMaterial2D

[tame mesa]

Oh , just that , thanks 😦

[swift crag]

PhysicMaterial is used for 3D physics

(and doesn't have the s, for some reason)

[slender nymph]

it does in unity 6

[swift crag]

yoooooooooo

[quick pollen]

@swift crag :))))))

[quick pollen]

also ty to you Dalphat

forgot to say

i forgor to remove the obs overlay for blender so the player hp is a bit obstructed

o well

[swift crag]

I was wondering why you had that thin black bar

[quick pollen]

blender shows ur file path and it contains my name so i dont like having it there

ngl, im extremely happy with how the UI looks

it took so much pain to get working but at least it looks alright

also my hit counter broke for whatever reason

o well

[rich adder]

coming out pretty cool 👍

[quick pollen]

thank u :)))

i cant wait to make actual abilities and such

im holding back so much because i wanna get the tedious stuff out of the way

like you can see how that kind of gray-ish HP stays after you take damage for rly long

ill probably have abilities which allow you to recover that HP

same for the boss

so you wont want to keep constantly attacking because it can decide to heal back the white part

anyhow sorry for the rant

[fluid fossil]

if (Physics.Raycast (ray, out hit, 100, 1 << 5))
        {
            switch (hit.collider.gameObject)
            {
                case slot1:
                    Debug.Log("Slot1");
                    break;
            }

            if (hit.collider.gameObject == slot1)
            {
                Debug.Log("Slot1");
            }
        }

Is there a way to make a switch case that does what the if statement is doing? I can't figure it out. The if statement works, but the switch gives this error on slot1:

A constant value of type 'GameObject' is expected

slot1 is a GameObject

[swift crag]

you can't do that with pattern matching, unfortunately

well, not with that syntax!

[rich adder]

why not juse use enums..

[swift crag]

because these are specific game objects

[fluid fossil]

i dunno how to use enums, nor did i even know that would be applicable here

[rich adder]

but they all can have their own enum with same script just check the public enum type

[fluid fossil]

how do I do that though

like I said I have no idea how to do that

like an enum of game objects?

[swift crag]

what?

[slender nymph]

can you explain what the actual purpose of this is? because it seems like you're trying to make an inventory system, but comparing what was hit to every single inventory slot is a silly solution to that

[rich adder]

checking enum field on like an object. not sure whats not clear about it lol

[swift crag]

it does sound very silly, yes

but it is indeed doable (:

I have never actually used the when syntax

[slender nymph]

that is cursed

[fluid fossil]

it is a silly solution to that, but that's the solution I'm going with. Yes it is an inventory system. Instead of changing the entire code of the inventory system, I just need to know how to get this to work

I'm not following a tutorial, I'm figuring it out on my own for the most part

[swift crag]

and then you just need to know how to get something else to work, and then ...

[slender nymph]

you should instead just use TryGetComponent on the object that was hit to see if it has the relevant component you actually care about instead of doing . . . that

[fluid fossil]

98% of this I've done on my own

[rich adder]

no like creating an actual class for your object then stick the enum in there

use Object oriented to your advantage
working GameObject class is only useful for specific unity functions

[queen adder]

Hello, I'm trying to set the layer of character's head so that the head is only visible to a specific camera which cullingMask i have set to a specific layer, but it doesn't apply that layer. Could someone please help me with this issue?

[stark moss]

@rich adder THANK YOU SO MUCH

works like a charm

[slender nymph]

have you confirmed that the code is running?

[rich adder]

sweet!

[slender nymph]

also does changing the layer of the bone even affect whether that part of the skinned mesh renderer would be visible to the camera? i feel like those are separate things

[queen adder]

yes it does run, i tested that by making setactive false to true

[slender nymph]

and how have you confirmed that the layer is not being set correctly?

[queen adder]

with very long testing using layers that camera is not supposed to see by default, such as the Ignore Raycast layer (aka layer 2)

[rich adder]

uh oh

why is that emoji gone

[slender nymph]

wth does that even mean. how have you confirmed that the object's layer is not being set to the Ignore Raycast layer?

[rich adder]

just so you know LayerMask and layer numbers on gameobjects are different idk if you have done that on raycast

[slender nymph]

InvalidOperationException: Queue empty.

[rocky canyon]

no clue what that means lol

[slender nymph]

sounds like you might be trying to dequeue on an empty queue

[rich adder]

no stacktrace?

[rocky canyon]

https://hatebin.com/bcknygqoja

[queen adder]

so the camera isnt supposed to "see" a specific layer which i set the object to because of cullingmask but that isnt the case

[slender nymph]

sure, that is not what i am asking you though. you said that the layer is not being assigned. how have you confirmed that

[rocky canyon]

forgot to get it.. and its an intermittent problem

[slender nymph]

while(totalTime - frameCounts.Peek() >= averageDuration)
{
    frameCounts.Dequeue();
}

this is probably the culprit. you can't peek if there's nothing to peek at

[rich adder]

ah its your code

[rocky canyon]

its from my rolling average

[rich adder]

thought it was unity bug

[rocky canyon]

not sure what part

imma check what boxfriend mentioned

[short hazel]

Peek throws if the queue is empty

Check its item count beforehand

[rocky canyon]

ohh that smart

[queen adder]

so by checking using unityexplorer i found out that the layer is not what i have set it to
i used to switch between two layers but eventually i narrowed down to the fact that something else must be changing it or it does not change at all

[rich adder]

just curious whats ping pong do here, like moving the text?

[rocky canyon]

flare

it used to do 1 pong per second.. but i messed up the values

[slender nymph]

are you certain you are even checking the correct object? also >unityexplorer
modding discussions are not permitted here. #1201856945791705108 message

ohh nice thats cool!

[rocky canyon]

took me forever to figure out the rolling average..

and the Low..

its still not very good imo

[lapis dew]

what is the recent python install library for mlagents?

[rich adder]

read the documentation?

[lapis dew]

I've

[rich adder]

so whats it say

[lapis dew]

it's installed but outputs error

[tame mesa]

Hi again , I've some troubles with the Pixel Perfect Camera component.

Explications :

I've created simple game with camera and pixel perfect component.
All my sprites are with no filter and compression none with 8px base.

I've also set Pixel Perfect Camera on 8px.

My screen is actually 2560, 1440 so 16:9.

As you can see , my pixels are ugly and the play mode give me 2 errors (screen)
Someone can give me advices ?

In fact, it looks like aliasing

[timber tide]

show sprite import

[rich adder]

perhaps share the error and details on your setup in #1202574086115557446

[rich adder]

just so you know next time should go in #🖼️┃2d-tools or #💻┃unity-talk
this is a coding channel

[tame mesa]

Ok , sorry

I'll ask here

[rocky canyon]

while (frameCounts.Count > 0 && totalTime - frameCounts.Peek() >= averageDuration)
{
    frameCounts.Dequeue();
}```

[timber tide]

seems fine to me. The sprite in your asset looks similar to the scene so im not too sure how it's supposed to look

[rich adder]

also your scale is at 5X

it probably wont show accurate

[tame mesa]

I can't moove it , it is rewrite by pixel perfect camera after playmode

[rich adder]

oh I guess pixel perfect does that

I've used a few times, forgot it does that 😅

[timber tide]

doesnt cinemachine incorporate that already

[rich adder]

iirc it works off the original component

[tame mesa]

Same issue with cinemachine , already test after following this tutorial

https://youtube.com/watch?v=xGz7uMjeRRQ

[rich adder]

I still don't understand what is exactly the issue with it

are you talking about the character, the enviroment ?

your reference resoluton should be lower no?

[tame mesa]

The both are distorned :

Image 1: playmode
Image 2: scene

[rich adder]

I see

[tame mesa]

I understood that the reference resolution must be my screen size, but in any case, I tested with several resolutions and nothing changes

Already test : 320:180 , 1920:1080 , 2560:1440 , same result

Also I've two error on playmode :

[rich adder]

that happens when the green dashed lines are outside the green area

[tame mesa]

The green lines are only present with cinemamachine, which I don't have here

[rich adder]

no the greenlines are from pixel perfect

https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.2d.pixel-perfect@1.0/manual/index.html

[tame mesa]

So forgive me, but I don't have any hotline at the moment

[rich adder]

the green box is Pixel Per Unit

dotted lines is the reference resolution

[tame mesa]

If I add a 2D pixel perfect camera rather than adding it in component, I no longer see my game in playmode at all

[rich adder]

well ur camera is far below the player srry, discord screenshots

[tame mesa]

I'm not sure to understand

[slender nymph]

the camera is probably either too close to the objects or past them in the Z axis. also the orthographic size is incredibly small

since the ground should be in view

[rich adder]

ah wait i see the bottom is cuttoff

yeah def Z position problem

[tame mesa]

Like this ? I've set Z to 0 and move camera + set size to 30

[slender nymph]

the camera should be at -10 on the z axis for 2d games (typically)

being at 0 with everything else also at 0 means it is too close to the objects

[tame mesa]

How can I guess that?

[rich adder]

well knowing that unity Z is depth

if you're looking forward (Z axis) too close and stuff gets clipped

[slender nymph]

and knowing what a camera's near clipping plane is

-10 is just a convention. as long as the objects are further than the near clipping plane they will be visible

[tame mesa]

View is fixed, but same issue for pixel render

[sick musk]

How do you do a non axis aligned bounding box cast?

[rich adder]

basically Z position need to always be < on the camera than sprites position (eg -10 < 0)

ideally min enough of clip plane too ofc

[slender nymph]

do you mean a boxcast where the box is rotated? or are you referring to something else

[sick musk]

Yup

Physics.BoxCast is axis aligned

[slender nymph]

(no it isn't)

[sick musk]

What?

Shit

[slender nymph]

look at the documentation for the method

[rich adder]

what makes you assume that

[sick musk]

Always thought it was. Didn't even look

My bad

[tame mesa]

wdym ?

[slender nymph]

well hopefully you've learned the value of reading the docs instead of making assumptions

[rich adder]

every camera has a near and far clip plane, eg min distance it starts rendering and max distance it starts rendering

[tame mesa]

Ah yes then I understood correctly

Unfortunately I'm not making any further progress on my original problem 😢

[rich adder]

if you're at 0.3f min distance then you need to be at least that far to start seeing objects

[rich adder]

so what happen with new camera?

[tame mesa]

Ugly pixel again

Look at foot or ground "aliasing"

[rich adder]

beacuse its scaling it at 5x

thats wrong

I just tried pixel perfect and mine doesn't scale the gameview at 5x, something is up with yours

[tame mesa]

I'm the one who puts it at 5 to see if it looks good, is that something I shouldn't do?

[rich adder]

oof

thats whats causing the bluring my guy

if you want to "zoom in" you have to change the Pixel Per Unit size in the Pixel Perfect component

i think I hit my word "pixel" daily limit lol

[tame mesa]

Unity is not able to upscale correctly?

I find it difficult to work on 8pixel without zooming, the final result is quite good but, zooming sometimes allows you to see certain details

It seems strange to me

[tame mesa]

Sorry for this

[swift crag]

The game view scale slider is used to zoom in closer on the game view output

[rich adder]

you dont have to put it at 8

[swift crag]

You should not use it to adjust how your game looks

notably because that slider has no bearing on the built game

If you want to make your pixel art larger on the screeen, use a pixel perfect camera and adjust its settings

[rich adder]

nah is just funny coincidence as earlier had to fix a bug with my GetPixel and SetPixel function

[tame mesa]

This is already what I did.

I actually have a good enough eye to see that the pixels are distorted when the player moves, even without zooming.

[rich adder]

also note resizing gameview size can affect that error

[swift crag]

Yes.

You need to have an even resolution. The aspect ratio game view modes may produce an odd resolution

[rich adder]

the pains of 2D

[tame mesa]

One way to reset this window size ?

[slender nymph]

in the game view where it says "Free Aspect" change that to your reference resolution

[tame mesa]

it's quite difficult to see, but I can assure you that the pixels are still distorted here, without zoom and with this setting

[rich adder]

put your Assets Pixel Per Unit at like 64 or something and screenshot what it looks like

[tame mesa]

1st with 64 PPU
2nd screenshot show the difference (like 1pixel on paint) with 8 PPU

[rich adder]

noooo

not on the asset..

on the Pixel Perfect component

I said only like 3 times

[tame mesa]

oh 🥲

Sorry my English is not very good and there are a lot of things I'm trying to understand it's not easy

[rich adder]

my english sucks too but pretty sure that conveys clear enough lol

also we should probably move this in #💻┃unity-talk in thread as not to flood this channel

[tame mesa]

It looks better with 64 as a parameter

Understand that I don't do stupid things on purpose, it's not in my interest or yours ^^

[rotund forum]

I have a simple code for capsule colliders on different body parts (to detect collisions for attacks) that are supposed to broadcast the other collider hit to a combat management script, but I'm getting a null reference.

I'm not really sure why it's a null either, as I even tested this method with an if statement (if other is not null then do the thing) but I still get the null reference exception error. Doesn't OnTriggerEnter assign the other to whatever collider enters the trigger collider? How could that become null? I'm probably missing something really simple here wand would appreciate it if anyone could help me out.

[rich adder]

no worries, like I said you don't have to keep at 8. I find this sometimes might not be correct size for ALL sprites

but again dont take my word on it, i barely do 2D

[tame mesa]

So you would recommend putting a larger PPU and moving the camera back, ultimately?

[rich adder]

show the line that throws error

other cannot be null

its probably parentCombatManager tbh

[slender nymph]

just FYI for an orthographic camera, moving it back won't do anything. it's changing the orthographic size of the camera that determines how much it can see

[rich adder]

yeah thats parentCombatManager for sure

[rotund forum]

How can one tell. I would have thought that it would direct me to a line in the combat manager.

[rich adder]

because even if Other were to be null by some miracle then it woul still not throw that line as cause, maybe in stacktrace

[tame mesa]

I understand what you're telling me, but I don't see how to correct it, in this case.

I'll probably make a post on the Unity forum because as it stands, I feel like I'm going around in circles a bit

[rich adder]

this event literally gets Invoked with a collider, there is no way it throw you a null collider

[tame mesa]

There is improvement, but I don't understand that 8PPU on the pixel camera does not give the rendering I would like. Something must be missing

[slender nymph]

i wasn't providing any information about how to "correct" anything. i was simply making sure you understood that when you said "moving the camera back" that would not have done anything at all

[tame mesa]

I told myself that, since the rendering seems perfect with 64PPU but far too zoomed, you just have to "move back" the camera to get a good rendering, but from further away. I don't know if it's clear or completely stupid

[rich adder]

just using larger PPU on the pixel perfect component that fits the look.
And yeah as boxfriend mentioned, in orthographic moving camera back won't do anything, orthographics have no Depth

[rich adder]

you don't have to use 64 strictly though.. was just mentioning it as a starting value to "zoom" play around with another value..

imo as long as its multiples of 8

[slender nymph]

again, moving the camera physically back does not zoom at all because it is an orthographic camera. changing the orthographic size is how you change how much of the world the camera sees

[tame mesa]

I think I understood quite a few things, and I thank you. I'll try to dig a little deeper tomorrow, maybe with a post on the full forum on what I did, so as not to pollute more here

[rotund forum]

Thank you for the help. I changed how I was grabbing the parent combat manager and it's working now.

[queen adder]

does anyone know what the issue is here?

[rich adder]

thank you

[zealous hatch]

what would be the best way to change sprite depending on where mouse curser is

math.atan seems to not be very good for what i need

[rich adder]

might want to explain a bit more what you're doing exactly

also cursor is in pixel coords so if you need world you need convert ScreenToWorld

[rocky canyon]

<Expletive>

[rich adder]

when I used to leave my projects with compile errors and open them the next day 😢

[rocky canyon]

ahh okay 😅

i can deal with this

[rich adder]

are you using Assembly definitions?

[rocky canyon]

i created an empty URP project and then added assets from another project and opened it back

[zealous hatch]

sure. So i have a character and i have created 7 different sprites for him. All for different angles of him looking. For example, i have a sprite of him look upwards which i would like to play when the mouse is 0 to 20 degrees.

i dont know how i would use any sort of math.Atan to grab a value and run a if statement such as
if(angle is > 90 degrees and angle is < 180) { display sprite 2 }

[rich adder]

oh so you didn't port the packages

[rocky canyon]

the input stuff didnt import correctly for some reason

[rich adder]

ahh

[rocky canyon]

• the picked 2022

gotta reopen it in unity6, it may fix it

[rich adder]

how did you add the assets ?

[rocky canyon]

file manager

basically jsut duplicated a non-urp project to a urp one

[rich adder]

yeah you would use mathf.atan2

[zealous hatch]

how would i turn the x and y value into something i can use for a if statement

[rich adder]

  Vector2 dir = currentPos - targetPos;
  angle = Mathf.Atan2(dir.y, dir.x) * Mathf.Rad2Deg;
  if (angle < 0) angle += 360;```

[swift crag]

If you have a vector that represents your look direction, you can do

Vector2.SignedAngle(dir, Vector2.right);
