anyway problem is solved, just a heads up for next time 👍

[junior patio]

Hello everyone, I'm a French person studying C# currently on Unity. I have an assignment where I'm really struggling. Would someone be kind enough to come help me privately and explain? Thank you very much!

[strong wren]

i mean even tho i have the brain funcionality of a dead rat i still made guns animations and 3d stuff byself with no help

so atleast im not a total moron

[rich adder]

just post your question because DM is too much of a commitment

[mild onyx]

nah youre just creative

[strong wren]

i worked so hard on this project 😩 i did so much and its only my 3rd

[raw token]

Yeah tutorial hell is real. And it sucks 👍

I generally feel forces are easier to get started with if it fits your design goal. Managing velocity directly definitely gives you more control and is somewhat more intuitive with regards to the actual math involved, but it debatably comes with the cost of having to... well, manage velocity directly.

[stuck palm]

how can i change the capsule collider settings? i need to change the layer overrides
@rich adder excuse the ping but i know you know about the kinematic charactercontroller

[mild onyx]

you ever heard of hollow knight? thats the type of movement im looking for, maybe they have some of there games code availabe but i highly doubt it

[rich adder]

does it not working in the code?
Its been a while since I've used it I don't remember the collider being grayed out, havent touched that part

[raw token]

Definitely aware of it, but I've never played it. I'll go check out a video though

[stuck palm]

im assuming its this, but when i delete the readonly, only the field becomes ungreyed but the capsule remains grey

[verbal dome]

I didnt even know that you can make default components readonly like that capsule

[rich adder]

is there some other custom editor script maybe for the capsul?

[stuck palm]

deleting and readding seems to make it writeable again

[verbal dome]

Is there any component above the capsulecollider? I wonder if some custom inspector leaves GUI.enabled = false by accident

[raw token]

It does seem like they're just directly manipulating velocity or controlling position as needed - there are no obvious gradual accelerations or friction or whatnot that I would associate with forces

[swift crag]

It doesn't let you set the collider, iirc

[swift crag]

I bet that's how it happens

[mild onyx]

so GetKeyDown works for pressing a key but what about holding a key? cant seem to find the right thing

[polar acorn]

GetKey

[mild onyx]

oh

ok so i now have movement but my x-axis movement completely stops my positive Y-axis movement so ill have to figure that out tommorow

[polar acorn]

Are you setting the Y value of the velocity to something?

[mild onyx]

its verry if'y

[polar acorn]

So whichever one happens last is the one that decides what velocity is

They all overwrite the entire velocity

[brittle crown]

Yo @raw token after it working on the top left, I moved it to the top right bc thats where I want it but..

public static void DropItemIntoSlot(RectTransform slotTransform, RectTransform itemTransform, Vector2 cellSize)
    {
        if (selectedItem != null)
        {
            RectTransform grid = slotTransform.parent.GetComponent<RectTransform>();
            Vector2 itemAnchoredPosition = itemTransform.anchoredPosition;
            Vector2 gridMax = grid.rect.max; // Use max since top-right alignment

            Vector2Int cellCoord = new Vector2Int(
                Mathf.FloorToInt((gridMax.x - itemAnchoredPosition.x) / cellSize.x),
                Mathf.FloorToInt((gridMax.y - itemAnchoredPosition.y) / cellSize.y)
            );

            Debug.Log(cellCoord);

            Vector2 snappedPosition = new Vector2(
                -cellCoord.x * cellSize.x - slotTransform.parent.GetComponent<GridLayoutGroup>().spacing.x * cellCoord.x,
                -cellCoord.y * cellSize.y - slotTransform.parent.GetComponent<GridLayoutGroup>().spacing.y * cellCoord.y
            );

            selectedItem.GetComponent<RectTransform>().anchoredPosition = snappedPosition;
            selectedItem.GetComponent<Image>().raycastTarget = true;
            selectedItem = null;
        }
    }```

This system works great when I have the topLeft anchor and pivot for everything but now that I move it to the top right anchor and pivot for everything. The slot that should be 0,0 is 4,0. It's inverted.
How can I get it to 0,0?

[raw token]

😱 😁

That's sorta why I got so curious about a solution which would work independent of pivot and anchor positions last night - it seems like it would be something nice and reusable, without having to remember to adjust things if the anchors change... But I'll see if I can make sense of anything 👀

[frozen star]

Am I better off just learning the subjects I need? or learning how to make a game with a tutorial on making a whole game?

[olive osprey]

Can anyone answer my question for what screen sizes for mobile there are, or how I should go on about sizing my games screen to fit mobile devices?

Thank you to anyone who responds!

[frosty hound]

Depends on what aspect you're trying to make fit

If it's an orthographic camera, you can scale the size property with some math to fit (as best it can, it's impossible to fit perfectly for every resolution).

For UI in screenspace, you can do that by setting a reference resolution on your canvas and correctly anchoring your UI elements.

[brittle crown]

alr thanks man

[teal viper]

There are many different screen sizes on mobile. The mobile simulator package provides some predefined devices resolutions for you to test.
The full list would be very long, so you'll need to google that.

[raw token]

I think for that case you'd still want to use grid.rect.min rather than grid.rect.max, because you want your cell coordinate system to still start at the left, even if you have the grid anchored on the right. So it still makes sense to calculate the distance of the item from the left edge of the grid (e.g. itemAnchoredPosition.x - gridMin.x)

Where I get confused in all this is that I think grid.rect is relative to the grid's achoredPosition, and the grid's anchoredPosition is relative to the positions of the anchors... In my noggin it doesn't really add up that using grid.rect.min or grid.rect.max alone is enough to calculate itemAnchoredPosition's location (itself a position relative to it's own anchors) relative to the grid. Like, I feel like we should need to figure out the absolute/canvas coordinates of the grid (or if items are direct children of the grid, maybe just use the item's local position?) and the item to make sure everything works robustly in a manner which won't break when anything else changes...

...But I'm also not really sure what I'm talking about, here 👌. I'll be playing with this more, just out of curiosity

[brittle crown]

will try

[brittle crown]

Using grid.rect.min messes it up even more for some reason

[raw token]

Yeah alright - I guess that makes me feel a little less crazy... let's see...

[brittle crown]

lol

[cosmic dagger]

That's a bit complicated because it depends how your stats are setup. You'd have to pass the type of stat to affect . . .

Not sure exactly how your SO events are setup, but if they're similar to the method online, you should have a corresponding MonoBehaviour listener. Do you have parameters for your SO events?

[remote osprey]

I could just have built in methods that select the corresponding stat

[remote osprey]

wdym by 'method online'?

By parameters, you mean a CustomParameter class? No, I don't.

I was going with that idea but scratched it cause I found it unnecessary.

Main thing is not passing parameters, the main thing that's been holding me back is not being able to tell apart who the enemy player is.

Each card as a list of events, and each card is owned by a Player

But I can't find a way to make the event have acess to that player at runtime, because at the start of game a card can belong to any player.

[teal viper]

Then have an owner field in the card that you assign the owning player to.🤷‍♂️

[remote osprey]

Although, I think i could make it work by passing Player as a parameter to an Event Constructor

[teal viper]

Or handle the events on the player instead of the cards.

[gaunt ledge]

okay, bullet question

I have a code that is a child of a abstract code that is a child of a abstract code

once I do a override on a void that has already been overrided on the second abstract

the base. will refer to the last override or the base

[dense root]

How do I prevent the text from waterfalling over to the next line? Just cleanly going to the next line

    private IEnumerator EffectTypewriter(string dialogText, Text uiText)
    {
        isTyping = true;
        uiText.text = "";
        foreach (char character in dialogText)
        {
            uiText.text += character;
            yield return new WaitForSeconds(0.02f);
        }
        isTyping = false;
    }

[teal viper]

The implementation of the real type is used, so yes, the last override would be used.

[teal viper]

Or are you referring to base.YourMethod()?
That would call the direct base class implementation.

[gaunt ledge]

thhis one

[gaunt ledge]

how do I refer to the last overrided?

[wintry quarry]

Use TextMeshPro and the "maxVisibleCharacters" property instead of modifying the text

[teal viper]

The one in this? Just MethodName.

[gaunt ledge]

nop, the one between this and base

there is any way to do that?

[teal viper]

There is nothing between this and base

Base is the class that this inherits from

[gaunt ledge]

and what if the class that is inheriting this method, has overrided this method from another class?

[teal viper]

The implementation in the base(the direct base class that this class inherits from) would be used.

[wintry quarry]

Example:
https://youtu.be/IqpgJlhtmoo?si=Zokc-GSq9M33eljh

[teal viper]

It doesn't matter what's up the hierarchy above the base class.

[gaunt ledge]

okay, thanks

[dense root]

I'm trying to avoid TMP because it makes it difficult to work with Asian characters

[wintry quarry]

There's not really a good way to do this without TextMeshPro.

But.. TMP has no problem with Asian characters

You just need a font and a font asset that's properly set up

[dense root]

I can try tinkering with it again, but I ran into some troubles with the character sets be limited IIRC

[wintry quarry]

You have full control over the character sets in your font asset with TMP

[dense root]

Alright I can try again, fingers crossed

[cosmic dagger]

That's what using parameters are for . . .

[cosmic dagger]

A is abstract with a virtual method. B is abstract derived from A with an override method. C is derived from B with an override method. Calling base.YourMethod(); from the C override method will refer to the parent class B . . .

[ionic zephyr]

What can I do to make my crafting system eliminate changes whenever I quit the crafting station without having used my resources?

[cosmic dagger]

Use temp variables when using resources and update the actual resource(s) once the item was confirmed . . .

Or you can cache the original resource value at the start of crafting. If the crafting is canceled, then assign the cached value back to the resource . . .

[modest dust]

If it's something of a drag and drop crafting grid then simply clear the grid while also returning the cleared items into the inventory

[ionic zephyr]

Its more of a click thing

I click on the object and an image pops up in the crafting slots

like when you press shift while clicking an object in minecraft

[cosmic dagger]

However, you shouldn't have to update the original resource; just check if the amount is less than or equal to the original resource value. Then, when they accept to craft the item, Update the resource . . .

[modest dust]

Undstandable

Either way, if you're transferring your resources from one place to another then.. simply transfer them back.

[ionic zephyr]

I might get the original amount of resources and if the player cancells the crafting, use that information

[modest dust]

There are multiple ways, as long as it works, it's good

[ionic zephyr]

how can I make sure that the craft was cancelled?

[modest dust]

By calling a method which cancels it?

[ionic zephyr]

yes, but I have a problem there

[modest dust]

What kind of problem

[ionic zephyr]

My inventory is based on item slots which each have the quantity of each item that the player has

[modest dust]

Yes, and?

[ionic zephyr]

so whenever I use the crafting system if I "place" an object in the crafting station, the quantity is substracted

[modest dust]

Yes, so?

[ionic zephyr]

but what if then I decide I want to quit crafting and want my objects back again?

[modest dust]

Since you know how to transfer an item from the inventory to the crafting station, I believe you would also know how to transfer it the other way around

Simply iterate through each crafting slot and send the item back to inventory

[ionic zephyr]

yeah, but how?

[modest dust]

Simply reference your player inventory from the crafting station and transfer all the items back

The same way you do it from inventory to crafting

How are you transferring the items from the inventory to the crafting station right now?

[raw token]

@brittle crown I'm at a loss... everything I'm coming up with seems suspiciously convoluted. There has to be a better way

[ionic zephyr]

just clicking on them and every time I click on top of one of the objects in the inventory, the crafting slot shows the sprite of the object

[modest dust]

I know that much, but show the code.

How do you reference the item, how do you subtract from the inventory and how do you add to the crafting station

[ionic zephyr]

_itemsInCraft is an array of Items(ScriptableObjects)

_itemImages is an array of Images that show the sprite

[modest dust]

And how do you take the items out of the crafting grid?

If that's implemented

[ionic zephyr]

I havent done it yet because I dont know what to do honestly

[brittle crown]

I know man.

[cosmic dagger]

The same way you transferred the item from the inventory to the crafting system . . .

[ionic zephyr]

dont get it with that information

[modest dust]

Just a question, but would taking out an item from the crafting station shift all the other items there to the left or leave a hole?

[ionic zephyr]

leave a hole

[modest dust]

Ok, so either way, you have referenced the Crafting Manager instance

A fast solution would be to just do the same for the Inventory

Or just add a function to the Crafting Manager which returns all the items

[ionic zephyr]

what exactly?

[modest dust]

Look at the line where you declare the CraftingManager variable, in the method AddItemToCraft.

Now imagine yourself making a method named ReturnItemsToInventory, but within the CraftingManager.

Same logic

[ionic zephyr]

could you write a brief example?

[dense root]

Hmm what is causing my dialog system to toggle between 0 and the current state of the dialogInt? Resulting in me being able to re-skip to the beginning of the first element of the dialog

https://gdl.space/ehedosaqiz.cs

Does it have something to do with the coroutine?

[modest dust]

void ReturnItemsToInventory()
{
   PlayerInventory inv = PlayerInventory.Instance;
   foreach(ItemScriptableObject item in _itemsInCraft)
   {
      if (item == null) continue;
      inv.AddItem(item);
   }
}

[eternal needle]

line 85 seems you set it right back to 0 and
canvasDialog.SetActive(true);
at the start of that else statement

[ionic zephyr]

Okay, and what about the quantity?

[modest dust]

Is there one item per crafting slot?

[ionic zephyr]

yes

[modest dust]

Then what about it

[ionic zephyr]

oh okay

let me see

[modest dust]

Just add the item to inventory

and increase the value

First of all do not ping people not already involved in the issue

Second of all, the first thing you can try is to pause the game as soon as you start, click on the slime in the hierarchy and look at the inspector to see what's going on

Maybe the sprite is missing or turning invisible? Maybe something is wrong withe the layers? Move the background, see if he's below it, etc

The Z position maybe

Not sure tho, it's been a while since I had camera issues

[ionic zephyr]

how can I reset the slot I clicked in?

[frosty hound]

Are you using two accounts or something? 🤔

[ionic zephyr]

what

oh sorry

[ionic zephyr]

That worked!

[timber tide]

is it on the scene

[soft anvil]

because of "box collider" is not Collider 2D

[timber tide]

oh is that a 3D version?

should really just call the 3D version cube collider ;p

[cosmic dagger]

Check your code. It should die or call a method to be destroyed . . .

[soft anvil]

Can you show me your code?

Enemy script

when this value is -8? on playing game or you wrote?

Then first , replace "animator.settriger function" to RemoveEnemy()

If doing well

I will let you

no

delete ("Defeated") also

[cosmic dagger]

You never call RemoveEnemy . . .

You never call the method RemoveEnemy. That's why the GameObject does not get destroyed . . .

[soft anvil]

I think animator.Settrigger("Defeated") will call RemoveEnemy()

[cosmic dagger]

Then I would follow some basic tutorial instead of jumping in over your head. You just need to call the method that destroys the GameObject . . .

[soft anvil]

But for test it, first replace animator.Settrigger("Defeated") to RemoveEnemy()

@last forge , first replace animator.Settrigger("Defeated") to RemoveEnemy()

Did you edit animator?

If you didn't, don't use animator.Settrigger("Defeated")

result wil be same

animator.Settrigger("Defeated") is only can work when you edit animator

[cosmic dagger]

Then what did the tutorial do? You have a reference to against . . .

[rotund forum]

There's a layer called "Ignore Raycast" in Unity's default layers. Is there a way to set up other custom layers to be ignored by raycasts as well? (without having to add a layermask every time I use Physics.Raycast)

[teal viper]

So in the tutorial it doesn't work as well?

[eternal needle]

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

[rocky canyon]

its more like, why should we hunt down the "smth" you have missed.. if the tutorial is functioning the way it should, you need to just rewind it and compare everything that was done... we'd pretty much have to look into the tutorial ourselves to really know..

it wasn't him getting pissed off either.. he just asked a question bout the tutorial.. you made it more than it was.

unless you got obvious errors in the console we can see.. you should do the bulk of the work and find what you missed when others can be spending their time being a bit more productive than that..

no hate just facts

[rotund forum]

So I've seen this but it seems to just be a constant I can reference to select the default Ignore Raycast Layer(?)

Does not seem like I can add more layers onto it or set it.

[rocky canyon]

you could use a custom layermask

w/ the ignore layer selected

wait. let me backup.. i dont know what ur doing

[rotund forum]

That's what I was trying to avoid, though. I was wondering if it was possible to add more layers that function similarily to the defualt layer 2 "Ignore Raycast" layer.

[rocky canyon]

u could probably do that in the code.. search additional layers after the ignore.. or u could construct an array of those layers and compare that

[amber isle]

Would it be smart to have a separate controller for projectiles, explosions, cannon movement? Or should I combine them all into one controller?

[rocky canyon]

from what ive learned. if it can be done in the editor it can be done in the code

[rocky canyon]

depends on how big of a scale ur going.. u could put them all into one.. but it'd be more scaleable if u had a system to keep them seperate

in ur case (1) controller that could fire many different projectiles (the projectiles could spawn the explosions)

[cosmic dagger]

If the tutorial version works and yours does not, that means you missed a step, no? I would go back over the tutorial and double check your work . . .

[pure pike]

can someone help me change the target sdk for android from 34 to 32

[rich adder]

not coding question #📱┃mobile

[pure pike]

sry

[rich adder]

anyway it should be in the project settings afaik

[cosmic dagger]

Exactly, I agree. Asking for help is fine, but we found out you were following a tutorial halfway through helping you. It only makes sense to recheck the tutorial, especially if you suggest missing a step

The answer lies within the video. If you covered the tutorial again and are still experiencing the problem, I suggest linking the tutorial so we can check along with you . . .

[edgy forge]

is this the right way to find this component?

var textMeshProComponent = GameObject.Find("ProgressText").GetComponent<TMPro.TextMeshPro>();```

it's coming back null

[ivory bobcat]

Maybe you should reference this as a field from the inspector?

[rocky canyon]

if the script is on the text element u could use GetComponent<>(), or that ^

wouldnt recommend Find unless its absolutely necessary

[edgy forge]

the script is not on the text element

[rocky canyon]

then do what Dalphat mentioned

[edgy forge]

just out of curiosity, is the component type wrong?

[rich adder]

yes

you need TMP_Text (this one is shorter and works for mesh one as well its base class)

or TextMeshProUGUI

[ivory bobcat]

Create a public text mesh pro field (or text mesh pro u g ui field) and drag that object into the inspector field for the script.

Use TMP_Text (the base type) if you're unsure. var is implicit so I'm guessing you're questioning the component type gotten from the Get Component call which you can read about here https://stackoverflow.com/a/74794832

Other than that, Find can return null and ruin your day so best just set up the references from the inspector when possible.

[lone hamlet]

[eternal needle]

ah my bad. maybe you can just create an extension method which does this for you then.

though i do find it odd you need to have another layer which also ignores raycasts

[rotund forum]

Yeah. I just didn't want to have to redo any code I already wrote if possible

😅

[rotund forum]

I probably don't. But I was thinking of ways to solve a certain issue I have.

[iron wing]

how can i change the game's camera?

[polar acorn]

Modify your Camera component

[iron wing]

Do I need to change the tag from whatever, to MainCamera for it to be displayed in-game? If so how can I do this via script?

[polar acorn]

A camera tagged MainCamera is the one that's referenced by Camera.main. That's all

[iron wing]

I see. However, I'm aiming to change the camera that you use to see out of like when you're playing your game. I'm guessing that's not the same thing then?

[polar acorn]

If you want to switch between different "shots", that's what Cinemachine is designed to do

https://unity.com/unity/features/editor/art-and-design/cinemachine

[iron wing]

there's no like built in way to just switch cameras? I have multiple in my project that belong to different players. for whatever reason you can see out of the other player's camera, I thought disabling every one except for the local would do the trick but I'm not sure how. What's the point of having multiple cameras in that case?

[eternal needle]

if you're referring to multiplayer then you definitely shouldnt be doing multiplayer. And yes you would usually disable (or only enable) the local players camera. You're probably just not doing it right

[charred spoke]

I hate the disable enable architecture for multiplayer. We prefer to keep two different prefabs for a local player and a “ghost” or as we call it the puppet.

[iron wing]

got it thank you! I've got some experience with networking. this is mostly just a practice project so I can be familliar with unity. I figured it'd be good to start somewhere although, I'm using photon so hopefully it'll make things a ton simpler.

my only issue now seems to be that since my player is a prefab, I can't really access the child camera inside of it. I can only access the player gameobject. maybe im misunderstanding this.

[iron wing]

ooh, I will definitely give that a shot thank you

[charred spoke]

Im confused why would you not be able to access the camera ?

Also are you trying to create a system where you can view other players pov’s sorta like counter strike when your dead ?

[iron wing]

my prefab shows up like this whilst it's not in-game. I can reference the prefab, but I can't reference any of its children. If i double click it, I can modify and view the children but I still can't reference since it takes me out of the explorer.

[charred spoke]

Well yes

How ever you can still get the camera when you instantiate your player

[iron wing]

I'll probably do that in the future, yes. although when you join in-game right now you're basically stuck viewing the other player's camera but you can still control your own. I figured all I had to do was disable the other cameras.

[charred spoke]

There is a handy GetComponentInChildren

[charred spoke]

That is all you have to do

[static cedar]

I'm thinking of extending Transform, is there a reason it's not a good idea?

[iron wing]

can you reference a specific one? to my understanding you can reference the type of object you're looking for within a child with GetComponent, but you can't really specify

[rocky canyon]

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Component.GetComponentInChildren.html

you just change the type ur looking for

[charred spoke]

Do you have more than one camera in the player prefab ?

[charred spoke]

Do what you wish my man

[iron wing]

Nah, this should work just fine. although I'll probably add some later for functionality with an idea I'm concepting. Just for future reference incase this messes something up when I do

[rocky canyon]

if u end up with multiples u can use a method to get all types and then loop thru them & use comparisons to find the 1 u want.. maybe w/ tags or layers

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Camera-main.html can be helpful too if u just using the camera tagged MainCamera

[iron wing]

uh oh, okay is there a way to get the component in grandchildren?? i have my camera inside of another object of my player's child.

[charred spoke]

GetComponentInChildren is recursive it will search all children untill it finds a suitable component

The level of nesting does not matter

[iron wing]

i swear, im so dumb. my script was working fine I just forgot my ! to signify not, and had my else statement swapped by accident

[astral falcon]

What is happening? Purple shader? Unsupported shader then. Or what is happening?

[hallow iris]

the unsupported shader area

[astral falcon]

do you ever assign a material to it?

[hallow iris]

i am trying to do a raycast but it is being weird

at the moment it is only a mesh and a mesh renderer

[astral falcon]

So please take your time and write down, what you are expecting and whats not working.

[hallow iris]

i was hoping that the ray cast could detect enemies in range but it is acting weird when ever the enimes are in range it dose this

[astral falcon]

I am wondering, why you are decreasing your angle instead of increasing

So your circular behaviour is intended in 180 degrees, I get that. And it looks like its working so far. But you are just setting the vertex to be at that point where you hit the enemy, which can result in your mesh being deformed as you see there. Open any 3d modelling software and just drag one corner of a rectangle across the opposite side and see what happens, thats what you are doing right here. So the code seems to work

[astral falcon]

Thats why I was asking, what are you trying to achieve here? looks like you are trying to create like a shadowcaster in 2D?

I suggest you to look at your generated mesh in wireframe mode, which will tell you more about your topology

Put the if-statement at the start of the method, check if the timer stopped (not the opposite), and just stop the method if that it the case.

You can stop a method with return;

Then, have another method that is called when you touch a block, and have it call timerStopped = true;

[humble summit]

You may want to put lines 28 and 29 inside the if

[burnt vapor]

void Update(){
  if(timerStopped){
    return;
  }

  // Do your draw logic here.
}

public void StopTimer(){
  timerStopped = true;
}

This is called a "guard" clause. Check if the method should continue at the start, or stop the method if that is the case

Your block then calls StopTimer in whatever way it should

[humble summit]

That will work, assuming that you have no other logic in Update that needs to run when timerStopped == true;

[burnt vapor]

They don't

Otherwise I would advice you make a new method for the draw logic and do the same thing

[pure pike]

what

[burnt vapor]

In general you should not apply logic in Update, only call methods from that have have individual taks

[pure pike]

i wouldnt know

i have 0 experience in coding

i dont even know what yall are even talking about

[burnt vapor]

If you have 0 experience in coding I suggest you stick to basic C# before you start using Unity

Unity is a whole other thing and it will be very confusing to learn two separate things

Unity does a lot different

[pure pike]

i didnt make it i watched a tutorial

[burnt vapor]

I still suggest you start with basic C# and check out tutorials for that

Right now you try to learn both C# and Unity, and this is very confusing

[pure pike]

right now i wanna get the game out, not learn c#

[humble summit]

lol

[burnt vapor]

I'm afraid C# is going to be required when you want to do anything meaningful

But suit yourself

Generally knowledge on the basics of C# are expected in this channel because we don't help with these things

You can't really cut corners in your game with this, you might as well prepare yourself properly and learn properly

[pure pike]

well this type of game im making, everyone has already made the scripts so i dont need to code i just use everyone elses scripts

[burnt vapor]

And now here you are with no idea how to apply a simple change

We don't really spoonfeed here, please get used to C# basics and save yourself the trouble of having to ask every single simple feature

[pure pike]

BC I DONT CODE

I ALREADY SAID THAT

I CANT CODE

[humble summit]

then you can't make a game

[burnt vapor]

So why don't you ask one of your team members to do it then?

[pure pike]

team members?

[burnt vapor]

I don't really understand why somebody who doesn't have any idea on how to code, works on code

[pure pike]

you wanna see my game

[burnt vapor]

Are you a single person trying to make a game?

[pure pike]

this is my game, you think a have a team

[burnt vapor]

And everything in here is copy pasted scripts from other people while you have no knowledge on how these work?

[pure pike]

sorta

i sorta know how everything works

but not well

[burnt vapor]

You know it in terms of what the script should achieve in the game, you just don't know anything that actually happends code-wise?

[pure pike]

i sorta do

i mean ive done very little 2d coding (while following tutorials) but not 3d

are u gonna help me or not

[burnt vapor]

This has absolutely nothing to do with 2d or 3d coding

This is your refusal to learn basic programming and I really doubt you have even the slightest idea on what anything does in those scripts

And no, I'm not helping. We don't spoonfeed in this channel. I'm amazed you even made it this far when you just copy paste scripts

[humble summit]

Do you know where can I find accurate documentation describing how to attach a value changed handler to a UnityEngine.UIElements.Slider?

[pure pike]

literaly every game like this is just copy pasted scripts so whats wrong with me doing it

[humble summit]

lol

[pure pike]

i just wanted help

[fossil drum]

https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.0/Documentation/Manual/UIE-Change-Events.html
Not slider specific, but UI toolkit specific.

    slider.RegisterValueChangedCallback(v =>
    {
        var oldValue = v.previousValue;
        var newValue = v.newValue;
    });

[humble summit]

That does not work, also it is from stackoverflow and not official documentation, if I remember correctly. Oh, nvm you posted the doc url

[fossil drum]

Why not?

[burnt vapor]

I gave you help initially and you had no idea what I was talking about 🤷‍♂️ #💻┃code-beginner message

[humble summit]

I dunno why it doesn't work. I didn't make UI Toolkit

[fossil drum]

Just read the examples in the doc then, they should work just fine.

[humble summit]

Which examples have you seen that actually work? I have not seen any yet.

[fossil drum]

In my UIToolkit deep dive to see if its better now compared to years ago, all of them worked just fine.

They also have an asset project with examples of almost anything UIToolkit related.

[humble summit]

Oh?

[kind tartan]

https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/essentials/tutorial-projects/dragon-crashers-urp-2d-sample-project-190721

I believe it was this one

[humble summit]

slider.RegisterCallback<ChangeEvent<float>>((e) =>{Debug.Log("callback")});
also does not work

[fossil drum]

What does it say then?

[humble summit]

I'll check out that project and hopefully find something

[fossil drum]

does not work is useless for a programmer, give some context like the stacktrace or the error description at least.

[humble summit]

I did not say there is an error.

[fossil drum]

So it does work, but it doesn't write the log?

[humble summit]

The expected behaviour is that it would write to the log, but it does not.

[kind tartan]

audioSlider.sliderVisualElement.RegisterCallback<ChangeEvent<float>>((evt) => {} works for sure.

[fossil drum]

And where do you register that callback then? Show your full code.

[humble summit]

Oh, I think I have a reference to the UIElement.Slider and it needs to be the visualElement

[kind tartan]

My guess you passing not corect visual element.

[humble summit]

yeah that seems it

gonna test now

[kind tartan]

my code have scriptable objects and etc. So it will long to copy paste. But the callback was decribed correctly, Most likely selection of visual element was incorrect.

audioSlider.sliderVisualElement = parentElement.Q<Slider>("slider");

[humble summit]

        if (musicVolumeSlider == null) {
            throw new Exception("slider should not be null");
        }

        musicVolumeSlider.RegisterCallback<ChangeEvent<float>>((e) =>
        {
            Debug.Log("musicVolumeSlider.RegisterValueChangedCallback");
        });

[kind tartan]

sliderMusicVolume is not sliderI think. It is parent obect, which have slider inside of it. at least it was two years ago

[humble summit]

"sliderMusicVolume > VisualElement"?

[kind tartan]

how does it look like on your end. does it have visual element icon or slider icon. depends on that.

[humble summit]

looks like I need to get the child VisualElement, perhaps

[kind tartan]

maybe try Q<Slider> instead (Slider)<..>.Query("sliderMusicVolume");

it should be the same tho

[humble summit]

Yeah, I would expect the generic just does a cast

Are you saying I should target the Slider or one of the things inside it?

that's the whole thing expanded

[kind tartan]

you should get the Slider it self for the change trigger

[humble summit]

Yeah, I would expect so

test fail

so, it definitely is not null, but the event does not fire

I believe the documenatation is not accurate.

[kind tartan]

just in case. you low and high values are set to be 0 and 1 right? not the same>?

[humble summit]

high value is 100

I think this component comes with UI Toolkit

or maybe I made it and forgot

[kind tartan]

have you checked if musicVolumeSlider is not null, just to learn if it finds correct element

[humble summit]

no, I see Slider in the standard controls

[humble summit]

#💻┃code-beginner message

[fossil drum]

Where do you call this?

[humble summit]

Start

[fossil drum]

Yeah seems valid to me.
Can you show a console screenshot? Your not hiding your messages right?

[humble summit]

nothing hidden

not much in the console

start is definitely executed

[fossil drum]

So that 'caller' is in the same start as your callback?

[humble summit]

the red arrow points at the start in question

Ok, we definitely have a Slider

I think the handler is applied, but not called when the slider is manipulated.

Is there a way to print a list of callbacks?

Do I also have to add a manipulator like with buttons?

Nope, I did a stupid.

perhaps more than one

Ran this and got nothing, so maybe a timing issue?

            Debug.Log("element " + x.name);

            x.RegisterCallback<ChangeEvent<float>>((e) =>
            {
                Debug.Log("testing callback " + e);
            });
        });```

[fossil drum]

I honestly have no clue.
Registering a callback should be extremely easy, it's 1 of the most basic functions of UI.
The examples show how they work, and the tutorials were easy to follow.
Perhaps start over with a clean scene/project?

[ivory bobcat]

Could probably convert the query to a list and check the count just for debugging purposes

[humble summit]

that is basically what the foreach does

[ivory bobcat]

Although getting no log simply implies an empty list already

Maybe the line of code never executes?

[humble summit]

Gonna restart Unity. Too many times has UI Toolkit desynched and caused insanity.

UI Builder is garbage

I think I'm gonna start doing all my UI work in Notepad

[humble summit]

FYI, the cause of all that faff was UI Builder lying about the contents of the template. It desynchs from the xml and edits no longer save to the file. This causes a lot of confusion.

Well, thanks duckies.

You're all very smart and handsome.

[languid spire]

fyi, I use UIToolkit a lot but never UIBuilder, I do it all through code as it's much more stable across Unity versions

[teal viper]

Command line interface is the best ui there is. No need for fancy panels.

[humble summit]

Yeah, we wouldn't want someone to be able to do things without a reference sheet

[frank zodiac]

is this the correct way to get a random value in a range of 3?

[languid spire]

no, that will produce 0 or 1

[frank zodiac]

so i have to make it 0,3?

[languid spire]

read the docs

[frank zodiac]

ok

thanks

[humble summit]

I would do some testing with that and see what the results are anyway. I don't trust documentation.

[languid spire]

hmm, your life as a developer must be hell then

[humble summit]

I definitely do a lot of testing

[languid spire]

I believe the phrase is 'Trust but verify'

[eternal needle]

If you cant trust the documentation on something simple like a random number, that's a reading comprehension issue

[humble summit]

and that was especially useful when ES6 released, and all the list comprehension features they added tested orders of magnitude worse than a simple for loop

[fading seal]

this is my script for a monster to appear is there anyway i can change this to when i walk through a trigger a sound effect plays? im new to coding and i dont really know what im doing

[humble summit]

Use the collider to play an AudioClip with an AudioSource

[fading seal]

what would i write

[humble summit]

You would write the C# that would use the collider to play an AudioClip with an AudioSource

[languid spire]

Always refer to the docs
https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/AudioSource.Play.html

how do i get the audio to play when i walk through the collider

[eager spindle]

dumb question but is there any shorthand for getting the screenwidth and screenheight as a Vector2 or Vector3?

[fossil drum]

Don't think so, closest thing is probably currentResolution: https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Screen-currentResolution.html
But you can still make it a 1 liner anyhow for vector2 or 3, not sure why you ask this tbh.

[eager spindle]

🫡

In my current instance I have a UI object that should move towards the top right of the screen at all times, and each object would inevitably have a static Vector3 screenResolution = new Vector3(Screen.width, Screen.height)

I haven't tested this code yet but I wasn't sure if Screen.width and Screen.height get defined before runtime

[languid spire]

why would you use a Vector3 for a 2 dimensional space?

[eager spindle]

its really just to store the object's destination position, vector2 works too

[tender stag]

i need to make a custom serializer for my ItemData

how does one do that

[vast vessel]

is there a better way for doing this? i feel like checking the velocity on every internal physics update frame might be a bit inefficent.

[burnt vapor]

Why?

Is this for saving data?

no

[hexed terrace]

make it a non-local var

(a class level field/ variable)

[long jacinth]

how do I make it non local

[hexed terrace]

local means it is encapsulated within a method

[long jacinth]

so i have to mention it at the start

"public sprite FirstWeapon;"?

[hexed terrace]

private Sprite firstWeapon; - doesn't need to be public.

[long jacinth]

ok thank you i will try it

it works now thanks

[burnt vapor]

Consider changing your code to use CompareTag rather than checking a string directly like you do currently

[long jacinth]

thanks but what difference does it make

[burnt vapor]

CompareTag is faster and eats less memory

[cosmic dagger]

check the pinned messages. it's one of the best practices . . .

[burnt vapor]

Also generally you should just use it even though the reason doesn't apply. It exists to fix a specific issue and there's not much reason to not use it

can someone help me ? i cant put waypoint in my car prefabs

like this?

i cant put my waypoint in car prefabs

[edgy shard]

What did you try to assign?

[cerulean rampart]

this one

[languid spire]

if that is a GameObject, you cannot assign GameObjects to Prefabs

[cerulean rampart]

there is other way?

:((

[cosmic dagger]

you have to assign it after the prefab is instantiated in the scene . . .

[languid spire]

yes, use a singleton or dependency injection at the point of instantiation

[edgy shard]

You can also try to find all Gameobjects with the tag waypoint in your Scene, so you dont have to assign them by yourself.
waypoints = GameObject.FindGameObjectsWithTag("waypoint");

[languid spire]

very poor advice

[edgy shard]

sorry 😦

[cerulean rampart]

it say like this

@edgy shard

[languid spire]

Did you actually read the API shown or just copy/paste it?

[cerulean rampart]

what should i replace public Transform[] waypoints; to ?

[languid spire]

you should read the API

[cerulean rampart]

can u help me :v

[languid spire]

'FindGameObjectsWithTag' - Objects is plural. So you need something similar but singular

[cerulean rampart]

ok i fixed thx everyone

Thanks everyone so much :D

this is my first time so im very stupid

[vast vessel]

is it too if the update loop in my game almost takes around 0.5ms?
most of it seems to be from the unity input system, which at one time even spiked up to 5.66ms, but thats very rare, it usually stays at around 1ms, but thats out of my control.

[swift crag]

0.5ms is pretty darn reasonable

that would let your game run at 2000 FPS if you had no other things taking up frametime

[wintry quarry]

you need to test/profile the game on your target hardware

if you meet your framerate targets with a reasonable buffer, then you're good

[teal viper]

What frame rate are you targeting?

[vast vessel]

is 120 good for a qhd monitor on the target hardware, with max settings?

[vast vessel]

im not targetting anything lol. just whatever is good for a single player fps game

[wintry quarry]

that's up to you.

We can't tell you what to be satisfied with

[teal viper]

60 fps is the gold standard. If you can get that, it's good enough.

Which means you have a frame budget of 16.6 ms

[vast vessel]

so i should be good then, now i need to optimize my load times. you have no idea how much shit i have in Awake() and Start()

[swift crag]

Consistent framerate is also a good thing to look for

my game currently runs some expensive AI calculations every 0.25 seconds, which causes a noticeable spike in the frame times

(in the profiler, at least)

they don't feel too bad in game yet

[rocky canyon]

just buff up the system requirements

ez pz 😅

[eager spindle]

its okay if my frame rate is hard capped like this right?

also surely there's gotta be a better way to test on a low end device than buying one

[lost hamlet]

You could try a VM, tho GPU partitioning is a pain last i heard

Could also ask people with bad specs to test for you

[eager spindle]

my laptop gpu probably wont work for that

im just thinking if my game needs too much compute especially since its for mobile

[vast vessel]

now that you mention it, i hopped into a scene that had lots of ai agents, and i saw that my AI fsm and targetting system cause inconsistence framerates.
how can i fix that?

my targeting system dosnt run every frame but the fsm does.

im using the unity hsfm package for that

[swift crag]

Not familiar with that one.

i'm thinking of jobifying some of my AI code (it just takes in a bunch of data, crunches it for a bit, and spits out an answer)

it does have to ask for the positions of a few transforms, though, which won't work

[vast vessel]

does the job system just split tasks into different threads?

[swift crag]

It helps you run code on worker threads, yes

[fading seal]

[eager wolf]

I'm trying to check for a component in a children that is instantiated from another script before this Start is called (at least that's what i see from script execution order and a debug log test when the children is instantiated, which appeared before another debug log from the start function of this script)

basically the problem is that it doesn't get the component in the children, but if i try to get the component in Update, it works. So i think it has to do with the order of things, but I don't understand where to even start to debug this and fix it

[wintry quarry]

To start debugging, use Debug.Log

you can print when the instantiate happens and when this Start method is called

so you can see what order that happens in

[eager wolf]

It's weird because if I move that one line of code to this method, it works

[wintry quarry]

why is that weird

[wintry quarry]

Again - debug your code

[eager wolf]

because CheckForFuel is also run on Start

[wintry quarry]

that doesn't make sense

something is missing here

logs will help

or the debugger

[frosty hound]

Are you getting a null reference?

[eager wolf]

What do you need me to debug?

I already ran a debug log test for when the child is instantiated and this start method is called, and it showed that the start method is ran after, so in the correct order

[eager wolf]

no

[wintry quarry]

Then what is the symptom of the problem

what makes you think it's not being found

[eager wolf]

it says "Missing" rather than "None"

not sure if that helps

[wintry quarry]

Missing means it was destroyed

Perhaps the code inside CheckForFuel is destroying it

that would explain why swapping the location of the code causes it to be found

[eager wolf]

so i created a list, just to see what was happening, and indeed, it is creating 2 and deleting the first (which has to do w/ smth else in my scripts)

[wintry quarry]

Anyway there's definitely more to the puzzle here than what you shared

[eager wolf]

appreciate the help

[wintry quarry]

This whole scheme of Instantiating in one place then Finding/Getting later in an unrelated Start function seems a bit fragile. I think you'd be better served directly handling the reference you get back from Instantiate and sharing that/storing that as needed.

no idea what that means

[wintry quarry]

yes you could do this:

int mask = 4;
int masked = myNumber & mask;
bool contains4 = masked != 0;

Biut this is the same as:

int mask = 1 << 2;
int masked = myNumber & mask;
bool contains4 = masked != 0;

[late burrow]

yes i know just | is much easier

[wintry quarry]

also the same as:

int mask = 0b100;
int masked = myNumber & mask;
bool contains4 = masked != 0;```

[late forum]

But thank God after reinstall it ( almost got my whole os damaged ) it became logical again
And any idea on how I can fix that error i talked about before?

[languid spire]

there is a simpler way

[Flags}
enum MyInt {
 isFour = 1 << 3
}
...
int i = 7;

if (((MyInt)i).HasFlag(isFour)) ...

[rich adder]

which error? who's giving you error ?

[late forum]

The :

Projects failed to load because the .NET Framework build tools could not be found. Try installing Visual Studio or the Visual Studio Build Tools package, or check the logs for details.

And vs code itself, in " notifications "

[rich adder]

did you install the correct VSCode extension for unity

have you removed the VSCode Editor package from Unity package manager

try also regen project files

[late forum]

I didn't even install it, before I reinstalled it I had the extension downloaded from vs code itself, but it said it was old ( unity extension by Microsoft)

[late forum]

I do have it

[late forum]

Uhmm I'm afraid I don't know what "regen" mean, does that mean regeneration?

[rich adder]

who said it was old? thats the one you need though

[rich adder]

you need to remove it

[rich adder]

yes it means Regenerate project files, its a big button where External Tools is in unity

[late forum]

Are you sure?

[rich adder]

positive

the only package you should have in Unity package manager is** Visual Studio Editor**

thats the "new way" meant to be used for VSCode

[late forum]

OK

Thanks

[elfin cedar]

Is this why my Visual Studio crashes? I click console errors in unity, it opens all the way up, and then it closes

[rich adder]

Visual Studio? It shouldnt crash no. You're talking about the one ?

[elfin cedar]

Yes

Microsoft Visual Studio 2022

[rich adder]

yeah try reinstalling everything VS related then

it should not be crashing

[elfin cedar]

So Uninstall VS and then reinstall? Okay thanks

[rich adder]

that be the first I'd try

[late forum]

Thank God I didn't install vs then
If I had that error my dad would have killed me for using that amount of Internet and failing to get something out of it

[rich adder]

VS is generally the superior editor actually.

[polar acorn]

why not

[rich adder]

don't think Visual Studio uses the internet while in use (maybe once for activating license)

[late forum]

No, I'm talking about the download process
You said he has to delete vs completely

[rich adder]

ohhh right.

[late forum]

The last time I saw the installation page it was like 17 gb
17 GB!

[hexed terrace]

VS install depends on what components you install with it

The file you download from the site is an installer, it's tiny

[rich adder]

yeah VS with bunch of workloads and I'm at almost 70+ GB

iirc MAUI alone was like 20GB

[hexed terrace]

Mine's 4.5 GB

[rich adder]

wait, with all workloads? 😮

[hexed terrace]

with whatever is reqiured for Unity to run, nothing more

[rich adder]

ohh ok

[hexed terrace]

so.. C++ and the game one?

[rich adder]

was about to say lol some of the workloads are taking way too much space for mytaste 😦

[late forum]

Well I think I downloaded 5he wrong version then
Idk

[cosmic quail]

what do workloads do?

[hexed terrace]

add support for various things

[summer stump]

They are like extensions in vs code.
They add functionality
Edit: support is a better word, like carwash said

[rich adder]

ah okay i was mistaken MAUI is only 9GB its my UWP thats like 12

so together they made 20gb

aw man I got pretty much all those checked off except for Python and JS 🤢

no learning something to do it correctly you only need to learn once

start by using proper naming conventions

[summer stump]

and share code properly

then this is the count down

        text.text = "timeleft: "+ MathF.Round(timeleft);
    }
}

[summer stump]

If you want to use it with unity, you need to have that

[rich adder]

the error is from the other script

[jagged socket]

using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.SceneManagement;
public class gamecontrol : MonoBehaviour
{
    
    public GameObject timeisup;
    // Start is called before the first frame update
    void Start()

        Debug.Log(countdown.timeleft);   
    }

    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update()
    {
        if (countdown.timeleft <=0)
        {
            Time.timeScale = 0;
            timeisup.SetActive(true);
        }     
    }
}

[summer stump]

This is not properly, but ok. What is line 26

[late forum]

It worked finer without this extension
I had to reinstall it to get it to work

[rich adder]

wait you changed the names, in error it says countdownscript

ffs

text is null

[jagged socket]

text.text = "timeleft: "+ MathF.Round(timeleft);

[summer stump]

text is null then...

[jagged socket]

i will eat my lunch and come

[summer stump]

But I thoight the error said the other script

[rich adder]

me too

their bad naming prob

[summer stump]

Yes, it is from countdownscript

(A terrible name)

So what is line 26 of THAT

I assume it is what I initially said. timeisup is null

[rich adder]

i guess countdown is the class name but the script name is still countdownscript ?

[summer stump]

It cannot work without that extension.

[rich adder]

i question your standards of "it works fine"

everyone who says that, usually has no idea what they're looking at is not normal

I need to make a website for all this graveyard info unity is breaking each iteration of the website..

half their shit now is 404

"Oh you want link to this Netcode example project.? FFF UUU here's a 404 "

[jagged socket]

🙂

this is the nodes that are used
time left - countdown
game control - game control

[rich adder]

your issue is simple
text = GetComponent<Text>(); this aint workin

only few possibilities

1. Your Component is probably TMP_Text and not Text
2. if it was Text, it certainly isn't on this same object

[jagged socket]

yeah it`s textmeshpro

[rich adder]

well then there you go

Text != TMP_Text

use the latter

[jagged socket]

new code for countdown

[rich adder]

so are you using the Mesh version of TextMeshPro ?

[jagged socket]

yeah

[rich adder]

thats not the mesh version

it says UI right there

UI doesn't render mesh

[polar acorn]

UI Text Mesh is TextMeshProUGUI. There's also the shared parent class TMP_Text that works for either.

[rich adder]

damm even hinted the name twwice, i should've been specific 😢

[jagged socket]

the point is ....?

[polar acorn]

Use that Type

what is a stack overflow exception?

i only know the website

[modest dust]

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.stackoverflowexception?view=net-8.0

[rich adder]

the stack, was overflowed 😏

[willow scroll]

Stack Overflow is when the number of recursive calls exceeds the maximum

[stuck palm]

i realise i was calling the game manager to execute itself instead of something else

[swift crag]

on macOS, unity just dies instead of correctly breaking the infinite recursion

[rich adder]

yeah usually if you got something recursive

[swift crag]

very annoying

[stuck palm]

i was doing this on the GameManager script lmao

[cosmic dagger]

wow, macOS is weak . . .

man..determinism on multiplayer is tricky

well anything on multiplayer is like 100x harder

[neon latch]

Hi guys!
I need a script that somehow plays a jumpscare on touch of a trigger. Somehow like the player’s moveme gets disabled on touch of the trigger and the player’s camera and a model plays an animation. I’m very new to C#. If someone has or can provide an example script, I’d be very thankful!

[swift crag]

The main hurdle with rollback networking (in my inexperienced eyes, at least) is going to be dealing with object creation/destruction

imagine a projectile hits a target, and then you get rolled back and the projectile actually missed

it has to come back to life

[polar acorn]

Also note that rollback basically does not work with more than two people

[stuck palm]

yeah it is 4 player 😭

up to at least

[swift crag]

yeah, you're introducing more and more room for problems as you add more players

[swift crag]

I'd start with really basic networking: add X frames of delay

[polar acorn]

I ran into the exact same limitaion with your exact use case. Most Smash-likes have rollback for 1v1s and delay-based for FFAs

[vale karma]

i had it a seperate way where it was fixed on the y axis and wouldnt clip, but vid was too long i cut it down. the type mismatch isnt a big deal, i was in the midst of changing it from transform to game objet when taking the vid

[swift crag]

It won't feel great, but it will be very easy and very reliable

[swift crag]

So what's the exact problem with lots of players? Is it that you wind up rolling back on pretty much every frame?

[stuck palm]

why wouldnt rollback work for ffas?

[polar acorn]

Yeah, the rollback computation ends up taking so long that by the time it's done you have already missed the frame and need to roll back again

[stuck palm]

ah

i see

i mean, im not going for a super tight experience, here

i just want something that works lol

[swift crag]

Is it more about the rollback simply taking too long to simulate?

[polar acorn]

I mean, it's possible, but you'd need each player to have fantastic ping.

[vale karma]

I think i need to redo my place and grab scripts. those were from a tutorial about 4 months ago, and easily understood, but i dont think it can be used for everything like it is right ow

[swift crag]

i'm not sure if this is "each rollback costs too much" or "you do too many rollbacks"

[rich adder]

how exactly do you want to push the cart?

physics or just like fixed

[stuck palm]

i found this cool multiplayer library which advertises needing to write minimal netcode, and supports things like rollback which im going to have a look at

[vale karma]

I want it to be fixed, but navigated by the player. Just dont know how, or thinking too hard

[stuck palm]

what kind of netcode does stuff like call of duty or games like that use? not rollback im assuming

[polar acorn]

It's the second one. Since you're getting input from multiple players, it's possible that during the process of resimulating a rollback, you end up needing to do another rollback because someone else's packet comes through

[rich adder]

yeah just parent it to the player then

make a specific transform for it maybe so its easy to align

everything else seems is just a bunch of parenting
plants parented to cart, cart parented to player

[polar acorn]

It has the possibility of completely blowing out your buffer and you end up falling back to delay-based right away.

[swift crag]

ah, I see

[ionic zephyr]

Is it okay if I store the quantity of Items I have directly in my inventory slots?

[polar acorn]

Waiting for every player to send their packet before doing a rollback is exactly the problem rollback is supposed to fix

[rich adder]

perfectly fine if its own class

I personally have a Slot manager for all my Slot

[stuck palm]

have u made a smash fighter too? i havent seen many of those on itch and stuff like that so im interested

[ionic zephyr]

oh, okay, thanks

[rich adder]

probably because its very diffcult

[polar acorn]

I abandoned a smash fighter long ago

[vale karma]

Navarone stop. please dont tell me it was that easy hahaha

[polar acorn]

I got scooped, basically.

[rich adder]

haha yeah I mean . if you don't want physics cart, I would've made it more difficult by using Raycasts to "hover" the cart

[polar acorn]

Someone made my idea but with a budget

[vale karma]

bro im overengineering so hard

[ionic zephyr]

however I am confused because if I have one UI representation of my inventory I can´t have two of them because one canvas has all those slots and whenever I create another, the slot value dissapear

[stuck palm]

local multiplayer isnt too bad but online is probably terrible lol im just interested

[rich adder]

thats the part that makes it diffcult

[stuck palm]

ah damn :/ im just doing this for the love of the craft i guess im not expecting it to get popular

[vale karma]

I need raycasts to place items on the array inside the cart, but THAT is difficult in itself... thats the whole thing behind supermarket sim i cant understand yet

[stuck palm]

i wanted to put it on steam but im usin so many sound effects ripped from smash and guilty gear im probably not allowed lmao

[rich adder]

why do you need multiple canvas, I'm confused there. Are you inventory slots not an Object ? like Slot etc.

[ionic zephyr]

here is my inventory canvas, if I duplicate it, the objects don´t apperar

[polar acorn]

It was basically Smash MUGEN
https://projecttussle.com/

But Fraymakers came out with a robust character editor and I had basically made an unmaintainable mess so I just decided to scuttle it

[ionic zephyr]

yeah, ItemSlot I called it

[rich adder]

yeah so why do you need to duplicate anything

[ionic zephyr]

because if I want to have another representation of my inventory

[rich adder]

what does that even mean lol

You should never design UI first then Code

[stuck palm]

oh i saw videos about fraymaker, sucks that happened to you

[rich adder]

always make ur inventory logic first, then you can replicated it in UI or whatever @ionic zephyr

[ionic zephyr]

yes, but my doubt is that my inventory depends on the slot information

[rich adder]

exactly so why does the UI need to do any logic at all or canvases

[final kestrel]

Is it better doing the inventory with solely code?

[rich adder]

what else would you use ?

[polar acorn]

It's fine, I had already been spinning my wheels for months at that point. And I'm just glad that someone was able to make it

I mostly wanted to make it because I wanted to play it

[final kestrel]

I meant the design

Like where each slot will be etc

[rich adder]

my suggestion was simple, don't design your inventory logic around your UI. The opposite, make your logic first work then put the visuals on it

[final kestrel]

hm what I understand is that you just slap components on a canvas. Thats what UI means for me. I cannot comprehend how you could design logic around it

I do not have enough experience with uis probably thats why I dont get it.

Just wanted to ask because I'm also trying to make my inventory system work.

[stuck palm]

fair enough. What kind of netcode would an fps and stuff use? is there a name for that sort of framework?

[swift crag]

You can put components on anything!

including components you wrote

and you can instantiate prefabs from code

My game's UI is largely generated through scripting

[final kestrel]

Why may I ask?

I have seen people doing that as well

[bleak condor]

so i have 2 levels but when i load level 2 the music from level 1 plays over the level 2 music

[swift crag]

There's no reason to manually set up 20 different sliders for 20 different settings

I have prefabs for things like "a button that takes you to another menu screen" and "a way to edit a float"

[ionic zephyr]

I have an ItemSlot class and I created a slot prefab with that script. Those prefabs are child of an Inventory Canvas. Now, lets say I want to do another canvas that has the SAME information as the previous one, how could I do that?

[rich adder]

I don't put any components(Scripts) in UI. maybe only each slot has a Slot script for Slot Manager creates them at runtime, but I generally find it cumbersome to put Scripts on UI objects they are hard to find

[final kestrel]

Ah okay. So that must be why people prefer that indeed

[swift crag]

Basically, I hand-author whatever I can't describe through code, and then automatically generate the rest

[polar acorn]

Delay-based

[swift crag]

for a first person shooter?

they usually try to preview as much as possible on the client (including your movement) immediately

[rich adder]

lots of Client Side Prediction

[swift crag]

that's a whole can of worms I have yet to open

i guess it's just another way to separate game state from the presentation

[wheat lintel]

i have a problem building my game, where can i get help, i'm a bit lost in this discord

[rich adder]

#🔎┃find-a-channel

[wheat lintel]

thank you

[swift crag]

If you have more than one place that you have to change something, errors become possible. So if you have to:

• create a new setting
• add a new item in your settings menu for that setting

then you can forget to do the second one, and now you have a missing setting

[polar acorn]

There's essentially two "kinds" of netcode, rollback and delay based. There's a lot of optimizations and prediction models you can graft onto them, but the core difference is "How do you deal with the situation where someone's data isn't in yet". Your options are either "wait for them and resync" or "roll back to the last known good state and resimulate". That's why you'll see laggy players in shooters kind of pop around like they're teleporting

[swift crag]

"delay based networking" makes me think of a game that does nothing with your input for several frames, and that completely stalls if input isn't received from the other player

[stuck palm]

i think this coherence library might be a winner, it looks like it does a lot of the heavy lifting for me, plus if i just use peer-to-peer i dont have to pay their stupid pricing model

[ionic zephyr]

Imagine I have two Canvas in which I want to show the inventory information (maybe one vertical and one horizontal), I have a Slot prefab that has a ItemSlot script that stores the information. Also I created an InventoryManager with a list of ItemSlots that stores the information of all the slots. How can I make sure that on both Canvas the information is the same?

[polar acorn]

It means that if you input an action on Frame 30, and it takes 2 frames to reach the host, then the host will have you doing that action on Frame 32. A rollback system will have you basically appearing 2 frames into your action on Frame 32

[swift crag]

ah, i see

[modest dust]

Initialize them with the same data.

[ionic zephyr]

how? from the ItemSlot script?

[modest dust]

The same way you initialize one inventory canvas

Or, if it's a convoluted mess, just copy the slot data from one place to another

[stuck palm]

@swift crag im thinking for projectiles and stuff i give each projectile an ID and then maybe store a dictionary or something of each projectile in the current state, idk if that solves the issue with instantiation and deletion, though. maybe if the dictionary doesnt contain an entry for a projectile it gets deleted, or if there is a projectile missing it creates the projectile with the velocity and everything?

[swift crag]

first decide if you're actually doing rollback (:

if you aren't then none of this is really necessary

[stuck palm]

would rollback be hard to implement retroactively

might start with delay based then make rollback when im more experienced

[swift crag]

The difficulty would be in your visuals/sound/etc.

It's pretty easy to just go back to an old game state and then run a bunch of ticks

But you have to then sync the visuals, particles, sound effects, and other such things back to the new game state

[stuck palm]

ah yeah

honestly? might just do delay based for now

[swift crag]

this is where you enter territory

I linked a GDC talk that was about rollback netcode implementation

A huge part of that was things like visuals and object creation/destruction

[stuck palm]

whats it called? i'll have a watch later

[swift crag]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7jb0FOcImdg

[stuck palm]

this is just straight up wrong, if you enter the article it says it doesnt use it lmao

[swift crag]

I think the problem is that there wasn't enough AI involved

[stuck palm]

true

[swift crag]

Duh. Just use AI for your networking

That'll fix it

RollbackGPT

[raw token]

I often keep inventory logic and manage inventory data in an InventoryController script, which gets added to the GOs representing objects with inventories (player, chest, etc.). InventoryController has no knowledge of or logic for any UI.

Other scripts are solely dedicated to displaying inventory data and handling user interaction. When supplied with an InventoryController instance, they'll instantiate slot UIs and hook up event handlers and such. These UI controller scripts can also subscribe to events that the InventoryController emits to keep their visuals in sync if the inventory data changes.

In this fashion, there is only copy of the data ("single source of truth"), and because the code storing and managing the inventory data is separate from the code which displays it (separation of concerns), you can create however many different visual representations and interfaces for the data as you desire without complicating data access/management.

[ionic zephyr]

Yeah, you are right, thanks for the advice

[candid burrow]

Hey guys. Need some help debugging this animation set-up that i have

i have a mono behaviour animation component to handle hashing and calling animations crossfades:

public float Attack() => PlayAnimation(AnimationNames.Attack);

  private float PlayAnimation(AnimationNames animhash)
    {
        animator.CrossFade(animationDuration[animhash].hash, crossFadeDuration);
        return animationDuration[animhash].duration;
    }

then, in another mono behaviour in the same gameobject, im calling its functions, for instance:

    public IEnumerator Attack()
    {
        if (canAttack)
        {
            canAttack = false;   
            billboard.lookDir = (attackTarget.transform.position - transform.position).normalized;
            float animTime = animations.Attack();
            StartCoroutine(weapon.Attack(attackTarget, new Damage(this, 10)));
            yield return new WaitForSeconds(animTime);
            StartCoroutine(ResetAttack(animTime));
        }
    }

The thing is. the attack animation never really plays. even by looking at the animator, the state never runs and i dont know why. the code is calling correctly the function

[late forum]

The game object does whatever the script says

Well then I'm in a parallel universe XD

BTW why is this code broken?

    Vector2 mouseposition;
    public Rigidbody2D rb;

    }

    void Update()
    {
        mouseposition = cam.ScreenToViewportPoint(Input.mousePosition);
    }

    void FixedUpdate()
    {
        Vector2 aiming_direction = mouseposition - rb.position;
        float aiming_angle = Mathf.Atan2(aiming_direction.y, aiming_direction.x) * Mathf.Rad2Deg - 90f;
        rb.rotation = aiming_angle;
    }
}

[rich adder]

that's irrelevant also you need a configured IDE if we outta help you.
..also that snake casing 😬

[late forum]

I followed every step of the tutorial but the rotation is just... bad

[swift crag]

mouseposition and rb.position are in completely different spaces

mouseposition is in viewport space

rb.position is in world space

you need to use ScreenToWorldPoint to get a world space mouse position

[rich adder]

you copied wrong or tutorial is bad

or both

Well
As soon as I installed the extension I got errors
2 big errors
One, the version of it is old ( the error message says so)
And the second one is that it tries to download. NET via terminal ( output ) while it is already installed

That's why this extension troubles me

[polar acorn]

If the error message says that it's an old version of the extension, you should install an up to date one instead

[stuck palm]

Notification newNotification = Instantiate(notification, notificationGroup.transform).GetComponent<Notification>();
        newNotification.messageText.text = Message;
        newNotification.length = notificationLength;

does this code get run before newNotification.start gets run?

[rich adder]

so you just ignore erros and move on or actually try to fix problems..

[swift crag]

Start runs in the next frame.

So it runs befoe Start, yes (but after Awake)

[late forum]

The latest version is 1.0.2 for me
Is it the latest version?

[late forum]

I sure do want to fix the problems, but as soon as I download that extension I got 2 times more errors, which do cause trouble, uncontrolled trouble

[swift crag]

Follow the instructions exactly. !ide

No, it just either wasn't configured properly and you didn't realize, or it WAS installed and you didn't realize.

[swift crag]

You have not followed the instructions I linked.

Follow every single step on the page

You have an old version of the Visual Studio Editor package installed. The instructions tell you to update it.

The warning also told you exactly what to do.

https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/other/unity

Follow every single step exactly. Do not skip anything.

Hello, the objects collide but nothing happens can I get some help figuring out why: using UnityEngine;

public class cchange : MonoBehaviour
{
    public Camera mapcam;
    public Camera battlecam;

    void Start()
    {
        mapcam.gameObject.SetActive(true);
        battlecam.gameObject.SetActive(false);
    }

    void OnCollisionEnter2D(Collision2D collision)
    {
        if (collision.gameObject.CompareTag("Enemy"))
        {
            // Switch cameras
            mapcam.gameObject.SetActive(false);
            battlecam.gameObject.SetActive(true);

            gameObject.GetComponent<Collider2D>().enabled = false;
        }
    
        if (collision.gameObject.CompareTag("Enemy"))
        {
            Debug.Log("Collided with an enemy!");
        }
    }
}

The Three Commandments of OnCollisionEnter2D:

1. Thou Shalt have a 2D Collider on each object
2. Thou Shalt not tick isTrigger on either
3. Thou Shalt have a 2D Rigidbody on at least one of them

[willow scroll]

Define "nothing happens"?

[golden blade]

I have 2 scripts one where when both players collide one stops in its tracks

that works fine

this script should make it so

[willow scroll]

Does it mean that the method is called?

[golden blade]

the map camera turns off and the battle camera is turned on

I think so

[willow scroll]

Have you thought about checking it?

[swift crag]

"i think so" does not cut it (:

[golden blade]

ok so i think so means

I dont know what u mean by method is called

ill google it

[willow scroll]

How don't you know it?

When the method is called.. it's basically called

I don't know why do I have to explain it?

Print something in your method and see if the method is called

[golden blade]

[willow scroll]

Does it mean that you understand or I have to shut up?

[golden blade]
