There are a few means to obtain a reference to a GO by name like GameObject.Find(), but generally the preferred solution is to create a field for that game object on your script, and assign it by dragging the GO from the hierarchy to the field in the inspector

[still pond]

Or i can't refer directly to a game object?

Ok, thanks!

[wise cipher]

hello, does anyone know how I can fix the camera on my character without having my background completely stretched? as you see I am in isometric, I am trying to add a character in 3d but I want it to be in isometric view in my 2D decor, I searched a little on the internet I saw that it was necessary put a camera on it with a rotating parameter of X:30 Y:45, the problem is that afterwards... my background is completely disfigured and stretched lol. But my character is displayed well, it is in isometric there

[short hazel]

Rotate the background so it faces the camera

[astral basin]

whenever the autoBtn() is being run, at the second for loop, it sets all the issongsource to true instead of setting them one by one every time each audo source is done playing (the goal of the code is to play 4 audio sources one after another automatically, and possibly looped)

[queen adder]

how to make it so my tiles fill the grid

im a bit lost here D:

[astral basin]

https://discussions.unity.com/t/tilemap-not-filling-in-the-whole-space/204021

[wise cipher]

actually it works but then it breaks my tilemap 😦 nothing is proportional anymore, it makes my brain go crazy lol, I tried to base myself on this video and do like it but I can't get the same result https://youtu.be/v4S1ClQJg2E?si=j6yqE99iALrqR84p&t=119

[late burrow]

ok so one thing i wondered about, if big blocks of ifs are bad and instead setting index of x is more optimal

if i have many different paths of code is it good store various functions in array and run them by index?

[summer stump]

Not a code question. But fix the ppu

[swift crag]

the PPU determines how many pixels there are per unit (hence the name)

the default of 100 means that a 16 pixel image winds up taking up 0.16 units in the world

[short hazel]

It's probably because you use i in the lambda expression =>. The compiler has to do extra work in order to be able to refer to the variable from inside the lambda, this causes your issue. By the time the lambda executes, the for loop will already have finished running, so i does not contain the number you think it is.
To solve that, create a copy of that variable inside the loop and see if that fixes it:

for (int i = 0; i < 4; i++)
{
    int ii = i;
    yield return new WaitWhile(() => thing[ii].isPlaying)
    //                                     ^^ NOTICE USE OF LOCAL
}

[eternal needle]

This is so vague, "setting index of x" doesnt even make sense in relation to if statements. If you need an if statement, there isnt a way around having one.
Just use the profiler and see for yourself if you even have a performance issue

[queen adder]

yea i did, works now 😛

So then another one. In my 2d game as usual you can farm stuff and chop trees. So i would make another grid and just put it over the other one for such objects as stones, ore or trees?

or how is that done code wise

[astral basin]

did it like so, no luck though

[short hazel]

No you just make more methods and call them. This is the standard practice when you need to split code by area of features

[summer stump]

Do you mean procedural generation? If not, it would not be done with code
You can do layers with the tilemaps, and just place it

[queen adder]

well i want my char to be able to run within the 2d world on grass, chopping down trees, stone and such

so i guess procedural would be good here, yea

[short hazel]

Expand the lambda expression into a block so you can put multiple statements in them: () => { }
That way you can add logs in it

[summer stump]

Ok, that is something completely different than procedural generation. I am not sure which part you want. Are you just talking about collision handling? Or generating the world? Or what?

[queen adder]

so first i would love to have grass blocks as my background and then some stones appear on it that can be mined

randomly generated would be a bonus ofc

[still pond]

Hello i have the following two pieces of code:
void Start()
{
timer = FindObjectOfType<Timer>();
scoreKeeper = FindObjectOfType<ScoreKeeper>();
}
and

scoreKeeper.IncrementSeenQuestions();

When i try to call the method "IncrementSeenQuestions" i get the error "NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object'

[summer stump]

Ok, well google procedural generation.
And look up layers.

[summer stump]

Which line is the error on?

Probably scoreKeeper?

[still pond]

The error is on the line where i try to call the method

[summer stump]

Do you HAVE an object wjth ScoreKeeper in the scene?

[still pond]

Omg dumb me, i forgot to attach the script

[astral basin]

i aplogize i dont get it, im getting an error

[still pond]

Thank you

[short hazel]

yield return new WaitWhile(() =>
{
    // other stuff can go here
    return songSource[ii].isPlaying;
});

It's like a method body

[astral basin]

oh i see thank you

[wooden socket]

how do I call a function from a click? I know how to do it in the inspector but I need help with the code

[wintry quarry]

wdym by "a click"? A click on what?

[wooden socket]

https://gdl.space/puqaxecofe.cpp here is my code

click a button

mb lol

[wintry quarry]

Buttons have an gnClick you assign in the inspector

[wooden socket]

yea ik

[wintry quarry]

assign that to the function you want to call

[wooden socket]

but all I get is this

[wintry quarry]

you dragged the wrong thing into the slot

you need to drag a GameObject with the script attached to it into the slot

you dragged the script itself

very common mistake

[astral basin]

all it does is print 4 tuimes in a row

[short hazel]

That would mean isPlaying is false, so it does not wait (or maybe just a frame)

[astral basin]

oh yes let me explain how it works one second

in order to run autoBtn() you press a button and after you press the button you press the play button in order to run the song itself

oh so i should check if the button is clicked with a bool and if yes run it inside the play buton script?

right?

[short hazel]

Nah I think what's happening is that it doesn't start playing until the next frame, so if you call Play() then immediately check if it's playing it'll say that it's not.
A hack would be to wait until it's playing before waiting that it has finished

yield return new WaitUntil(() => songSource[ii].isPlaying);
yield return new WaitWhile(() => songSource[ii].isPlaying);

Try that

Or yield return null; as a replacement to the first one

[astral basin]

yeah it works thank you so muchhhh

[earnest raven]

why can i not assign the text? when i drag the text on it nothing happens

[keen dew]

Is the text element TextMeshPro or legacy text? The field is for legacy text

[earnest raven]

TextMeshPro, thanks, i'll modify the code

[wintry quarry]

In code that would be TMP_Text

[fading seal]

can someone help me with this error heres the code ```cs
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;

public class PauseMenu : MonoBehaviour
{
public GameObject pauseMenu;
public static bool isPaused;

// Start is called before the first frame update
void Start()
{
    pauseMenu.SetActive(false);
}

// Update is called once per frame
void Update()
{
    if(Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Escape))
    {
        if(isPaused)
        {
            ResumeGame();
        }
        else
        {
            PauseGame();
        }
    }
}

public void PauseGame()
{
    pauseMenu.SetActive(true);
    Time.timeScale = 0f;
    isPaused = true;
}

public void ResumeGame()
{
    pauseMenu.SetActive(false);
    Time.timeScale = 1f;
    isPaused = false;
}

}```

[eager elm]

in your script the variable 'pauseMenu' is null. You need to assign it in the inspector.

[earnest raven]

it works, thanks.. i started Unity today

[languid spire]

what about the error message do you not understand?

[fading seal]

ohh ok i forgot about that

[fading seal]

ty

[eager elm]

keep in mind that Update() doesn't run on disabled objects. So if pauseMenu is the same gameObject as the gameObject with this script it won't work once it's disabled.

[fading seal]

i made the pausemenu object in the code the pausecanvas for the inspector would it work then?

[eager elm]

well, try it out and see

[fading seal]

it works

ty tho

im really not sure what could be messing up my determinism anymore

i've

• got everything running on a fixed timestep
• used seeded random functions, and save the seed for replay

[queen adder]

probably is just hierarchy, it works now 😄 thanks

[stuck palm]

what else could i have missed?

[queen adder]

well i mean i have now a procedural generating world
but it should be big so people can explore. Now i have created width and height of 10000
thats a giant map and takes time to load. How to fix this?

how do publishers fix this? only generate more when player is moving in that direction? and then a bit by time like minecraft? instead of generating it all?

[wintry quarry]

how do publishers fix this? only generate more when player is moving in that direction? and then a bit by time like minecraft? instead of generating it all?
Yes this is one option.

If it's procedurally generated, it's a good option.

[wooden socket]

for some reason my animation plays in editor but not build

    SceneManager.LoadScene("Menu");
}

[queen adder]

another option would be to create a new 200x200 map for example when leaving the current one. But i guess its harder to do

[verbal dome]

Have you built a development build so you can see possible errors in the dev console?

[wooden socket]

its not an error in the logs

[verbal dome]

How do you know?

[wooden socket]

i think its position weird

[wintry quarry]

that sounds functionally the same as incrementally generating the map

[wooden socket]

how would I even make a dev build\

[verbal dome]

You said its not playing at all

[wooden socket]

no

the animation just

isnt showing for some reason

[queen adder]

i did 10000x10000 on height/width in unity on my procedural gen map

Now whole unity froze. any idea?

[wooden socket]

like the editor its fine

[verbal dome]

What did google say?

[raw token]

Have you assigned those methods in your buttons' OnClick() UnityActions or some such?

[fading seal]

yes

[fading seal]

for example heres the resume

[raw token]

I think you may have dragged the game script from your Assets window instead of the GO which uses that script from the scene hierarchy

[fading seal]

the script is called PauseMenu and i dragged it into the "game" GameObject that holds everything in the game

everything shows up and the esc key works but the buttons dont

[raw token]

Oh I see. Are the buttons visually reacting to hover/click events? Have you sprinkled in some Debug.Log()s to see if the methods are getting called?

[fading seal]

they dont react to the hover or click events it might be because my game is in first person so whenever i press esc when the game is running the camera still moves and the walking sound plays if i were to presd wasd

[stuck palm]

didnt see this, will probably have a look at that

[fading seal]

they arent getting called

ill get a screen recording and show you

[wooden socket]

damn it man why the hell does it work in editor but not build

[raw token]

It may be possible that you have a later Canvas drawing over the pause menu canvas and intercepting the events... Are you using the newer Input System?

[fading seal]

idk what the newer input system is and i do have another canvas

[queen adder]

this is just for testing, but why is it blurry?

[fading seal]

the "rawimage" is basically the camera since i technically got rid of it to make my game look pixelated

[still pond]

I get the following error: ObjectDisposedException: SerializedProperty questions.Array.data[4] has disappeared! Can someone explain please what is this error? Because i expected to get a NullReference error since it seems like im trying to acces an object that doesn't exist

[stuck palm]

just realised there's no point in doing this

[solid mango]

can you show the code?

[wintry quarry]

what's the context? Do you have a custom editor?

And the full stack trace?

[solid mango]

open the sprite settings and for pixel art use point filter

[raw token]

For giggles, you might try moving that canvas up in the hierarchy before the pause menu canvas...

Unity provides two methods for handling input - the older Input Manager, where you generally just ask it for the current state of an input device like Input.GetAxis("horizontal"), and the newer Input System in which you generally configure "InputActions" and have a number of different options to hook them up to your code... Edit > Project Settings > Player > Other Settings should have an "Active Input Handling" dropdown to select which one you're using

[queen adder]

thanks! how to make this the basic import option for all future imports?

[still pond]

I don't even know what is a cutom editor, but i guess i dont use since I dont know anything about it

[still pond]

yes

[fading seal]

i switched it to new what do i do now

i cant move now

[raw token]

Maybe switch back 😅. The newer system is definitely more robust and worth learning, but for the moment, you should sort out the issue at hand first before doing anything that might complicate matters

[fading seal]

how do i fix my problem tho

[solid mango]

Np , you can check this forum https://discussions.unity.com/t/how-to-change-default-import-settings/157318/6

[eager elm]

probably some other "invisible" object blocking your buttons, try disabling everything else and then see if it works.

[solid mango]

use online paste bin so i can see full script and can you tell me where the error coming from

[fading seal]

the raw image could be it but if i disable it i cant see anything

[fading seal]

and when i disabled it nothing changed

[still pond]

I did solve it. I had a SerializeField array with scriptable objects and I removed all the items from the inspector and put them back again. I guess it was a bug or smth

[raw token]

What about disabling that Canvas, out of curiosity?

[fading seal]

still cant see and nothing changes

[eager elm]

Select the EventSystem in your hierarchy, in the inspector at the top right click the 3 dots and switch to "Debug Mode". Now Your Standalone Input Module should have a field called "Current Focused Game Object". Hover over the buttons and see if it changes to something that is not 'None'

[solid mango]

good to hear

[fading seal]

i get the debug part but idk what you mean by the rest

[eager elm]

Do you have a gameObject called "EventSystem" in your hierarchy?

[fading seal]

yes

[fading seal]

i put it to debug

[eager elm]

does it have a component called "Standalone Input Module"?

[fading seal]

yes

[eager elm]

And you see the "Current Focused Game Object" field? If yes, when you hover over an object it should be set to that, like so:

[olive galleon]

How should I handle SoundEffects for my game? Make an event that a SoundFX script listens to and plays when event fires off?

[fading seal]

it still says none

[eager elm]

mhh, you might have "bugged" your game by doing the changes to your camera, since mouse events rely on the camera to calculate the position.

[fading seal]

is there a way to fix it

You have to figure it out yourself. Try Making a new Scene with nothing but a button and see it if works, then one by one add stuff from your main scene until it no longer works.

[earnest raven]

i assigned the sound but it says i didn't

any idea how to stop him rotating when hitting something? LMAO

lock rotation in rigidbody

[queen adder]

i could make him static i guess, but i feel like this will block features later on

yup that worked, freezed Z, ty 😄

[queen adder]

okay so now i want to give the stones a collider aswell that i can adjust
the problem is just: is it bad for performance when giving each tile a collider or is there a performance issue later on?

otherwise i could just give the stone texture a collider and rigidbody

so you want an exact hitbox?

yea

on the stone object

Hello everyone, I have a problem. While testing my game in the Unity editor, my recording system in json format works very well, but when I install it on my Android mobile phone, it does not save some places. For example, while the transform values ​​of a character are recorded properly in one script, the animals I catch in a different script are not recorded. How can I solve this problem?

[iron wing]

Hi, I'm using Mirror's networking solution in my project. Does anyone know what these errors are at all about? They show up everytime I launch my game. I believe they've only showed up after changing my scene via LoadScene()

This is my animal code

[verbal dome]

Well, just googling "unity random" or "unity random int" would've given you the docs page

[earnest raven]

how can i make things invisible during gameplay?

[wintry quarry]

disable their renderers

[earnest raven]

it's like telling a baby to jump

[wintry quarry]

reference the renderer:

public Renderer myRenderer; // drag and drop in the inspector

and disable it when desired:

myRenderer.enabled = false;```

[earnest raven]

cool

[wintry quarry]

Once you know the basics of referencing stuff in Unity you can use it for everything

[queen adder]

okay so i have a collider for the whole second layer at all objects. So when the player runs at a stone, he will collide. But the collider is of course not custom sized for each object. Stones need another collider size than trees and so on.

How can i now assign a box collider/custom collider to just the stone tiles within this tilemap?

[wintry quarry]

you can set a custom physics shape for every sprite from the sprite editor

[queen adder]

thats what i looks right now

[queen adder]

ah okay, ill try it

Does anyone know the reason?

Here is the GameManager script:

click the first one

which object it brings you to

to the endscreen

second debug still at the endscreen

[rich adder]

huh..can you screenshot this object's inspector

also
when do you set quiz.isComplete = true

[rich adder]

anyway it looks like the one missing here is scoreKeeper

you can see "using ___" is blank on the first line debug

[still pond]

But i do FIndObjectOFType<ScoreKeeper>

[rich adder]

and you have one in the scene ?

also try moving it to void Awake()

at least by the time you call method on scoreKeeper its not there

[still pond]

i do

[rich adder]

are you somehow calling ShowFinalScore before Start ?

I think Update can do that sometimes before start

[still pond]

I only call ShowFInalScore thru the gamemanager screen

script

[rich adder]

yes I asked where you set quiz.isComplete to true

[still pond]

Well, i have a timer, when the timer runs down on the last question thats when i make quiziscomplete to true

but i guess i can debug.log quiz is complete

did you try this real quick #💻┃code-beginner message

Hello guys, I'm very new to Unity. So how can I fix this?

this code is ment to wait until one song is finished and then it passes to the next song automatically, and it works, however when you pause the song while its playing the code thinks that its done so it skips to the next one and when you resume its a different song, i tried to make a bool in order to check when the song is paused but had no luck. any other suggestions?

You cannot use access modifiers on nested methods

since they are only local

[wanton kraken]

Does anyone know why 'velocity' isn't being filled in my intellisence? I can't figure this out for the life of me, and it's hard to learn when VSC isn't working right

[rich adder]

try close vsc, did you try regen project files ?

[sage abyss]

Oh, thank you. I was too silly to notice that Transform is a class.

[rich adder]

indeed transform lowercase, is a property they have for easy access to that class the object has

instead of doing GetComponent<Transform>()

[wanton kraken]

I can't figure out how. I keep being told to go to Preferences > External Tools but it's not there for me :/

[rich adder]

yeah then you're missing half the stuff

!vscode

Visual Studio Code guide

If your IDE is not underlining errors in red or autocompleting code,
please configure it using the link below:

https://on.unity.com/vscode

[rich adder]

make sure you check the Package Manager stuff

remove the Visual Studio Code Editor package, make sure the Visual Studio Editor one is Update to 2.0.20+

[wanton kraken]

i have vscode! as well as the plugin loaded

[rich adder]

i know you got vscode

click the link lol

[wanton kraken]

will do. sorry, new to all this

[astral basin]

i cant find the issue bro it was fine 2 seconds ago i must have deleted smt by accident

[rich adder]

if you're not seeing VSCode in the dropdown of External Tools , you need to follow the Package Manager part especially

[wanton kraken]

got it. thank you

[rich adder]

you probably deleted a bracket somewhere

or added ?

[wanton kraken]

followed the steps through one more time. visual studio editor is already installed and in the project, but there's no external tools tab

[rich adder]

Visual Studio Editor package is installed but is it at least version 2.0.20 ?

[wanton kraken]

yep

[rich adder]

and you removed the old one?

the Visual Studio Code Editor one

[wanton kraken]

yep

[rich adder]

can you show what your external tools page looks like in unity

[wanton kraken]

sure, one moment

[raw token]

You want Edit > Preferences, not Project Settings

[wanton kraken]

as in at the top menu on mac?

file - edit - assets, and the like?

[raw token]

I'm not sure, but I would assume so. It's here on Windows:

[wanton kraken]

it won't show up for me on mac, that's the issue

[rich adder]

so you didnt follow link i sent you did you

[rich adder]

its right here

[raw token]

What a strange thing to vary based on platform 🤔

[rich adder]

haha yeah Project Settings is still under "edit"

should i send the whole script or just thepart i think is relevant?

[rich adder]

use the links send the whole class its easier

[astral basin]

alr ty

[wanton kraken]

seriously, it's so needlessley confusing. thanks navarone

[rich adder]

its because you're not using your isPaused condition

[astral basin]

i removed it it didnt work

[rich adder]

why would you remove it if you need it

[astral basin]

because it didnt work

[rich adder]

isPlaying is a bit tooo broad

a bool would help

[astral basin]

yes

ill redo it and send again

[rich adder]

show how you tried to use the bool

[astral basin]

and then tell me what i did wrong

[rich adder]

sure. you can also check things like the cliplength vs how far in the clip you are playing rn

[keen dew]

tbf the Mac convention is that Preferences is in the [app name] menu. That's where it is in all apps. It's not something that Unity came up with

[rich adder]

yeah very true. I commonly look there for app preferences in general

the shortcut key is usually the same too command + ,

[swift crag]

in fact, that's the standard shortcut for user preferences

it always works. it's very nice

[astral basin]

this code is ment to wait until one song is finished and then it passes to the next song automatically, and it works, however when you pause the song while its playing the code thinks that its done so it skips to the next one and when you resume its a different song, i tried to make a bool in order to check when the song is paused but had no luck. any other suggestions? https://hastebin.com/share/ideduboyez.csharp ( no error in console )

[raw token]

The more I think about it, the more logical it seems to group conventional application stuff like that. I find myself mildly disturbed by this touch of Mac envy 👀

[rich adder]

their hardware is overpriced af. But I cannot stomach windows.
macos is superior, but prob bias from loving linux so the UNIX thing just "feels right"

[swift crag]

except in Blender! Blender doesn't put it there (or really put anything else there)

but cmd-, still works

[raw token]

You might also be able to wait for .time to approach .clip.length

[astral basin]

thank you alot of very muchness i am going to try that rn

[raw token]

I feel that. For my part, I find their hardware really nice but detest their OS 😁. I do definitely prefer NIX conventions for filesystem organization and the like though

[rich adder]

hah yeah. The had the best laptops for sure for a while. I find my unity runs wayyy better on my 2014 macos than my 2022 pc..Something is wrong lol and its not the hardware
same hardware runs just as smooth on Mint, linux

[astral basin]

yo how do i write that code wise

approach

oh equals

[rich adder]

don't == floats

[astral basin]

bigger than then?

[rich adder]

yeah always use those with floats

[willow scroll]

No, use Mathf.Approximately

[rich adder]

thats also an option

[astral basin]

where do i put that in the code

[willow scroll]

Whenever you need to compare the floats

[rich adder]

eg
isItClose = Mathf.Approximately(float1, float2)

[astral basin]

yield return new WaitUntil(() => songsource[ii].time == songsource[ii].clip.length);

this is the line

like where do i insert it

[rich adder]

is just a regular bool

[willow scroll]

Put the floats on both sides of the == operator as the parameters of the Mathf.Approximately method

[rich adder]

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Mathf.Approximately.html

the return is result of , if they are approx the same number

though for a clip/time I would use if(as.time < clip.length) // not done with song
(don't copy exact just example)

[willow scroll]

Unity has small mistakes when calculating floats, so it's rarely that 2 floats can be equal, when compared with the == operator

[astral basin]

so in the big scheme of the things of stuff

does it really matter

approx or bigger

both reliable right

[rich adder]

if you need more "precise" check approx is better

[astral basin]

meh

[rich adder]

in most cases < and > work perfectly fine

[willow scroll]

When willing to use the >= operator, consider

if (f1 > f2 || Mathf.Approximately(f1, f2))

The same goes for <=

You can also create your own methods

MathExtension.ApproximatelyGreater(float, float)

MathExtension.ApproximatelySmaller(float, float)

[astral basin]

nah those stuff are way too smart for me for now but thanks ill remember that if i ever get good at ts

it workssss

thank you very much guys

all of you

[cosmic dagger]

if you want approximation, just check if the (absolute) difference is less than a tolerance value. that way, you can determine the range of error . . .

[willow scroll]

You can put this somewhere in your project if you want

namespace UnityEngine
{
    public static class MathExtension
    {
        #region Approximately

        public static bool Approximately(this float f1, float f2) =>
            Mathf.Approximately(f1, f2);

        public static bool ApproximatelyGreater(this float f1, float f2) =>
            f1 > f2 || f1.Approximately(f2);

        public static bool ApproximatelySmaller(this float f1, float f2) =>
            f1 < f2 || f1.Approximately(f2);

        #endregion
    }
}

[rich adder]

something like this ?

public static bool Approximately(float a, float b, float margin)
    {
        return Mathf.Abs(a - b) <= margin;
    }```

[willow scroll]

Comparing floats with the == operator won't work too well

[cosmic dagger]

close. you'd use (a - b) < margin. if it's below the margin then it's considered even . . .

[rich adder]

ahhh

[cosmic dagger]

basically, margin is the error of precision . . .

[rich adder]

I see the original is return Mathf.Abs(b - a) < Mathf.Max(1E-06f * Mathf.Max(Mathf.Abs(a), Mathf.Abs(b)), Mathf.Epsilon * 8f);

[willow scroll]

Although this should be done with Epsilon

[rich adder]

yeah thats what source does

[cosmic dagger]

Mathf.Approximately uses Epsilon . . .

[rich adder]

you can just change 1E-06f to increase the margin

[willow scroll]

I know, I'm saying my code should be rewritten using Epsilon

[astral basin]

yo guys need yall again

it doesnt print done waiting

[cosmic dagger]

oh, i was just typing that in general. i didn't see your message about Epsilon . . .

[astral basin]

i have a button that skips 5 seconds ahead of the sound clip thing if its relevant

[raw token]

I don't think .time will ever naturally exceed the length of the clip(?)

[astral basin]

oh ye

[rich adder]

print the numbers to know for sure what the values are

[astral basin]

that makes sense

will => fix everything

[willow scroll]

Not sure how the current time of the clip can be greater than its full length

It can just be equal when finished

[astral basin]

im wiser than the machine bro what can i say

shoulda moved this to code-advanced ngl

alrrr it workss

thanks once again

[remote osprey]

    private IEnumerator waitForClickPress()
    {
        bool done = false;
        while (!done) 
        {
            if (Input.click)
            {
                done = true;
            }
            yield return null;
        }

    }

How can I check if a click event happened?

[rich adder]

waitUntil could be handy here

[remote osprey]

Cool

[rich adder]

actually not even needed the extra alloc

isnt what u have already working ?

Input.click is nonsense though

[remote osprey]

Yes

it's gibberish

That's what I want to know

[rich adder]

so put the correct one

[remote osprey]

Which one

thats my question

[rich adder]

oh so "Unity How to Detect Mouse Click"

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Input.GetMouseButtonDown.html

[remote osprey]

Then how do i make sure The mouse has been clicked after a starting moment/Event?

void Update()
{
    if(Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0))
    {
        clickMouseButtonEvent = true;
    }

}

I did this but I'm not sure it's concurrency proof

Oh wait, I think I just gotta set clickMouseButtonEvent to false right after the event occurs

[rich adder]

yea

[queen adder]

Are the links pinned the best way for me to start to learn scripting

[dusty shell]

My player sprite looks fine in scene view but is all pixelated in game mode, any idea why?

[frosty hound]

Make sure the slider at the top of your game view is all the way to the left

[crimson folio]

Hello, I have a question. I have a list that conains elements that are null. When I try to change them I get a null reference exception. Is this normal behaviour of unity?

[eternal needle]

Change them how? This isnt unity stuff, this is c#

[keen pecan]

Does anyone know why my rigidbody addforce wouldnt work if I collide straight on but does at an angle?

[crimson folio]

Thing is I want to keep an index of gameobjects (transforms actually) and at some point I set some empty indexed to null

like
List<Transform> Transforms = new List<Transform>();
Transforms.Add(null);

that is not a problem at this point but when I try to
Transforms[0] = gameObject.transform;
I get a null exception

I can post the full code

[rich adder]

screenshot error and send code via link

[crimson folio]

Ok I get it it was calling the code before list was set up at the awake I belive

Thanks you for your help !

[wanton kraken]

animator.SetFloat("Speed") = CatBody.GetComponent.velocity.x;

Why's this invalid? I'm trying to set an animation parameter to the object's current velocity

[slender nymph]

why would that be valid? you cannot assign to the return value of a method. look at the docs for the Animator.SetFloat method

[wanton kraken]

mkay, will do

[swift crag]

there are...a lot of problems with this

[wanton kraken]

yeah, i'm not very good at coding. quite new too

[slender nymph]

start with the beginner c# courses pinned in this channel

[wanton kraken]

i've got the basics, no worries

[swift crag]

with all due respect

[wanton kraken]

just confused with this one part

[swift crag]

no you do not

[slender nymph]

not according to this you do not

[swift crag]

this line is really wrong

[wanton kraken]

i'm well aware lmao

it needs to be (id, value)

should i attach the current speed to a variable and then use that in place of the value?

"public void SetFloat(string name, float value);"

[swift crag]

that is the signature of Animator.SetFloat, yes

you need to give it a string and a float

[rich adder]

CatBody.GetComponent.velocity.x; Certainly not grabbing it this way lol

[wanton kraken]

the string that i'm naming is the string of the animation parameter, isn't it

[wanton kraken]

i am painfully aware

[swift crag]

It's the name of the animator parameter.

but yes

[rich adder]

if CatBody is rigidbody no need to do GetComponent

[wanton kraken]

maybe i'm confused. i thought the function of Animator.SetFloat is to name an animation parameter and then give it a float value

[wanton kraken]

good point

[swift crag]

It sets a float parameter.

The float parameter is identified by the string.

[swift crag]

I would agree with this description, though. It's just not how I'd word it.

[wanton kraken]

i see

so i'm trying to update an animation parameter with the current speed of my game object. how should i go about doing that?

[frosty hound]

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Animator.SetFloat.html

[wanton kraken]

i was going to have it update it each frame with said command

[frosty hound]

Pass it in as an argument

[swift crag]

i would start by adding a field to your class that holds a Rigidbody

e.g.

public Rigidbody rb;

Drag the Rigidbody component into this field.

[wanton kraken]

i've got one, it's CatBody

i already coded it to move with inputs and all that

[swift crag]

what is the type of the CatBody field?

[wanton kraken]

you mean in-engine?

[swift crag]

I mean in your script.

You declared a field named CatBody.

What is its type?

[wanton kraken]

public Rigidbody2D CatBody;

[swift crag]

Okay, so just do CatBody.velocity.x .

You don't need to use GetComponent here. You already have the component.

[wanton kraken]

yeah, i got rid of that a bit ago. however, SetFloat is underscored with red

[swift crag]

GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>() would be necessary if you didn't already have a reference to that component

[wintry quarry]

Components are the big boxes in the inspector window

[wanton kraken]

"no overload for method"

[swift crag]

well, show us what you have

[wintry quarry]

then you didn't provide the correct parameters

[wanton kraken]

will do. please don't thrash my sphagetti code

[swift crag]

animator.SetFloat("Speed")

You are invoking the method with one argument.

It wants two arguments.

1 is not 2

[wintry quarry]

parameters go in the parentheses

[swift crag]

you are then trying to assign CatBody.velocity.x to the return value from the method

[wintry quarry]

you don't pass parameters with =

[swift crag]

the method returns void so this is especially bogus

[swift crag]

You said you have a basic understanding of C#, but you're trying to pass an argument with the = operator

this is Very Wrong(tm)

[wanton kraken]

i have a basic understanding of coding, enough that i was able to code the thing to move myself. i'm still becoming aquianted with C#, i know i'm far from a software engineer

[frosty hound]

Literally look at the link I sent to see how ot use the function. You don't need to guess.

[wanton kraken]

so i need to preface it with public void, rather then "animator."?

[swift crag]

no

that is even more wrong

[wanton kraken]

bear with me guys. there's a learning curve to this stuff, i learn by doing it

[frosty hound]

#💻┃code-beginner message

[wintry quarry]

Looking at examples is better than guessing

[wanton kraken]

i am looking at it, no worries

in the documentation it's shown as "public void SetFloat(string name, float value);"

[wintry quarry]

that's the signature yes

but look at the EXAMPLE

there is example code when you scroll down

[wanton kraken]

ohh, i see. i'll give that a try

[wintry quarry]

The signature does tell you how to use it exactly though

[ionic zephyr]

what does this mean?

I cant find what it is

[rich adder]

you can probably just clear them and ignore, if it comes back restart the editor

[ionic zephyr]

is it a random error?

[rich adder]

if its UnityEditor could be something just went wrong for a second within tabs or separate window

[frosty hound]

If it's an editor bug, then usually yes

[ionic zephyr]

It occurs again and again

It has to do with this code

[rich adder]

could even be a bad asset

[ionic zephyr]

with the _itemsInTable.Clear() method

[rich adder]

this would be something that would be inspector or something on the gui

did you restart unity?

[ionic zephyr]

yeah

[ionic zephyr]

because if I comment it the error doesn´t occur

[cosmic dagger]

you're removing or deleting an instance somewhere . . .

[ionic zephyr]

an Instance of what exactly?

[cosmic dagger]

did you comment out the entire method or just the Clear line?

[ionic zephyr]

just the Clear line

[cosmic dagger]

_itemsInTable is your inventory?

[ionic zephyr]

its the items in the crafting station

[cosmic dagger]

are those items instances that are created/instantiated or prefabs?

[ionic zephyr]

it is an array of a class called ItemAmount

[cosmic dagger]

you mean a List<T>? array doesn't have the Clear method . . .

[ionic zephyr]

yeah sorry

[cosmic dagger]

hmmm, you don't have a custom inspector for this, do you?

[ionic zephyr]

I have that slider thing for the quantity

it seems that the problem is that I have to minimize the _itemsInInventory Serialized list

[rich adder]

could be a bug

[ionic zephyr]

and now the error doesn´t occur

[ionic zephyr]

may be

[cosmic dagger]

it's a problem when the size of the list is changed . . .

[cosmic dagger]

yeah, some items are removed when the size of the list changes and it's attempting to access it somewhere . . .

[ionic zephyr]

so it is an editor problem

[cosmic dagger]

are there usually a lot of items in the list?

[ionic zephyr]

Not really

[cosmic dagger]

try creating a new list instead of clearing it. see if happens . . .

[ionic zephyr]

This error occured with 3 items in the list

[ionic zephyr]

should I try to create a new List?

[cosmic dagger]

yeah . . .

[ionic zephyr]

Same problem

[ionic zephyr]

I´ll just keep it minimized for now

anyway, thanks a lot for your help

[cosmic dagger]

the other option is using an array with a fixed-size. if you know the max amount of items needed to craft anything, use that as the size. then you create a method that manually nullifies each element . . .

[tulip parrot]

Hi, i'm beginner and i try to implement perlin noise but i have some problems

[queen adder]

i used a gameobjects and put a worldgeneration script on it
procedural generating chunks when player moves to edges (well with a bit distance so it does not look ugly)

but how to center it

as you see in the preview, its more "top-righted" lol

fixed it but its not equally

bottom left is missing LOL

[dark sluice]

(2D Game) im having trouble with parent/child objects atm, i have a rigidbody attached to an object (a circle) that just rolls done a hill, i want to set a child to it that doesnt actually "roll" but still follows the parent, anyone know how i can achieve this?

[true garnet]

guys i made a simpy script for 2d car movement... but i have issues with basically infinite acceleration speed

[queen adder]

so im a beginner, learning fundamentals. I want a procedural generation for my world and now seeing that with hard working, good descriptions and some time chatGPT gave me 400 lines of code for just 3 blocks, patches, generation, trees and stone... i could never write that within next time by myself. Never ever lol. I can maybe try to read and understand, but thats it and probably adjust a bit.

Should i stop doing that?

[teal viper]

You'll need to controll the applied torque based on the current velocity.

[teal viper]

Probably yes.
Chat GPT might be able to write a quick prototype, but it wouldn't be able to scale it to a working mechanic. And you not being able to understand it prevents you from spotting any potential issues and extend the code properly.

[queen adder]

well i could try to do that, but yea...

lets see

[shell herald]

i have 2 objects in my scene with a PlayerInput component. how can i do FindObjectsofType<PlayerInput> and only get the one that i want?

[eternal needle]

you dont, just directly reference the one you want since its in your scene.

[shell herald]

thats not possible bc the code is on a prefab

[slender nymph]

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

[eternal needle]

you must spawn the prefab at one point, instantiate returns the spawned object. you directly have a reference either way

[shell herald]

hmmm, maybe that ll work

[queen adder]

well i could define the public classes but i wouldnt even have an idea of how to code/write the tilemap generation around the player lol

[slender nymph]

that's the point of learning. don't just give up on attempting to learn because you found a tool that approximates intermediate knowledge

[queen adder]

but whom even to ask if chatgpt is bad xd

like who would teach me now procedural gen

[slender nymph]

start by worrying about understanding the fundamentals. then when you actually understand that you can start learning more interesting topics. you'll also actually have a better chance at actually understanding the learning resources available like the documentation

[queen adder]

i did the c# microsoft course and the unity one
But yea i guess it wont make a beginner into a pro that quick
😦 rip

[south hollow]

I'm very new to programming, and am currently following a unity tutorial for making a platformer that tells me to use "Vector3.one" when the character moves. Is there any way to set the scale to 2 on all axes instead of one?

[slender nymph]

multiply Vector3.one by 2 or create a new Vector3 with 2 on every axis

[south hollow]

thank you!

[teal viper]

You yourself. There are plenty of learning materials online that you can use or research existing projects/samples.

[queen adder]

storing a generated tile/chunk of a tileset (within a chunk) sounds specific to me
hmm

[teal viper]

The specific implementation might be specific to your specific case, but with experience you'll find out that it's probably very similar to what other people do with slight variation and different names.

If you're doing procedural generation, there are plenty of games and tutorials to reference. Take minecraft for example.

[normal thicket]

please help i can't find loadnextlevel() and I also did everything like create a event and my script is also correct . I Followed the brackeys tutotial

wait

[queen adder]

i mean i can understand what steps are used to make whatever
But translating it into code is hte harder part

like i know it uses chunks, i could define an int for chunks
i know it generates more chunks when the player gets to the edge/into the direction, could define an int for this aswell

But then how to actually generate more or let a tile be in a chunk etc. thats the hard part 😦

[teal viper]

You should configure your !ide first. This is not valid code.
Also, double check with the tutorial. There's no way this code is the same as in the tutorial.

[eternal falcon]

💡 IDE Configuration

If your IDE is not autocompleting code
or underlining errors, please configure it.

Select one:

• Visual Studio (Installed via Unity Hub)
• Visual Studio (Installed manually)
• VS Code
• JetBrains Rider
• Other/None

[normal thicket]

i am getting error but he is not getting error and he also got loadnextlevel() in the dropbox

[teal viper]

What's "it"?
There're no chunks or procedural generation functionality in unity by default. It's either your own code, or you're using a library. In the first case you should have the answer, since you wrote it. In the second, you'll need to read the docs of the library.

[teal viper]

Then his code must be correct and your is not, as I said. Double check it.

[teal viper]

Share the tutorial link.

[normal thicket]

ok wait

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iv7A8TzreY4&t=554s

watch from 8:33

[teal viper]

Spot the difference?

[normal thicket]

ohh

[teal viper]

Or a few steps back:

[normal thicket]

ok

[teal viper]

This is valid, but it's not the same as your code

[normal thicket]

thanks

[teal viper]

Pay more attention

[normal thicket]

thanks

[queen adder]

from what i understand i would need to set an int for chunks
int chunks = 10;

so that one chunk is 10 blocks
now i would want that chunk to contain grass and sand tiles, but randomly assigned.
hmm i might just watch a video on this idk, cant think of it

[teal viper]

This tells me absolutely nothing. That variable is something that only makes sense in the context of your code. Without knowing the context it's literally gibberish to me.

[shell herald]

i might have overcomplicated my problem. is there a way to enable/disable only one Input action map in code? i dont want my player to use any input exept the pause action map when the game is paused

[fringe plover]

Is it good idea to change Scriptable Objects at runtime?
I know that sometimes yes, sometimes no, but rn idk.
I made SO for characters, and i wamted to do skins for them, can i add skins in SO trough script when game init? and dont touch it? Until pkayer relaunch game ofc.

like, having Dictionary<string, SkinClass> in SO

[teal viper]

Why would it need to be in an SO though?

[fringe plover]

like, when i create character, i get data from SO, not just an script

[teal viper]

That doesn't really explain much. But if I were to put that dictionary anywhere, that would probably be in some kind of manager, like SkinManager or something, which would be either a MonoBehaviour or a plain class.
That is assuming that the dictionary is constructed at runtime.

[fringe plover]

Maybe when creating character, ask SkinManager for prefab instead of getting it from SO?

I still didnt started making skin system

If your skins are defined at editing time, it's fine to put them in an SO for convenience. If not, then there's no point to put them in the SO and would just cause more confusion.

[fringe plover]

In editing time? you mean in editor? they will be done only in editor, not in builds, so, its ok?

but i also dont want to flood editor with bunch of lists, so, id rather do everything in code

[teal viper]

Wdym by "can't find"? Do you get an actual error or is that an assumption?

[teal viper]

The whole point of an SO is that you can assign data in the inspector. If you don't do that, there's no point in using the SO really.

[fringe plover]

oh... i think i get it, then i mostly likely do like you said, make an skin manager to store everything, thanks for helping.

[fringe plover]

I would make Static Instance for Health script, so, there will be no need to use GetComponent or asign it in inspector

[craggy coyote]

but it doesn't effect the task I am tring to do right?

[teal viper]

I'd avoid doing that. It's what we call an inappropriate use case for singletons

[signal tide]

In my unity multiplayer project, I have character animations which work fine. But when I disable my character's body for my local player, everything works except I can't see the animation of the enemy player, it just slides around.
(Using photon and for disabling the character I made a public game object then referenced my character there)

[summer stump]

I would first of all use CompareTag instead of .tag ==
Then I would put a debug BEFORE that if, and after

[fringe plover]

Well, ok..? i used Static Instances a lot, is it that bad?

[summer stump]

Generally yes

[fringe plover]

Why?

[slender nymph]

what if you wanted two things to have health

[summer stump]

Why force an inappropriate use of static when it is unnecessary. It constrains you and often will cause worse issues down the line if you want to expand your code

[shell herald]

i am trying to disable just one action map, but now i dont even get an error in the unity console, it just crashes

[fringe plover]

I would have named it "playerHealth" and "enemyHealth" and make static instance only for one

• im not doing multiplayer game

i used to have and script called "Core" that have references and methods related to all important stuff like game Saving and etc stuff, it has Static Instance. Is that bad?

[summer stump]

Well, something like a SaveManager DOES make sense as a singleton
Or even just a static class

[slender nymph]

so you make your code not reusable meaning you have to do more work to copy/paste the bits that you want to reuse. you introduce the opportunity for any object at any point in time to potentially change the state of your game leading to nightmare debugging, and you avoid learning how to do things the right way because you've got a hammer, so every problem must be a nail, right?

[fringe plover]

Or having static instance for script that move between scenes?

[slender nymph]

you don't need a singleton for an object to be available across scenes

[fringe plover]

i kinda know

[craggy coyote]

But I am usning the same script for all the enemies. Which I ment was that there is a separate game object named enemy as an asset which contains the needed scripts to function with the box collider component and rigidbody2d. And when the game starts the enemy spawner spawns the enemy asset in random places.

[summer stump]

Have you considered additive scene loading?

[fringe plover]

but is it better to use FindObjectOfTime?

[fringe plover]

no..

why do i need that for game with 2 scenes

[summer stump]

To keep data in memory and avoid an unnecessary singleton

[summer stump]

Best to use a serialized reference

[teal viper]

Bad practices is more about making habits.

It might work for your simple use case and project and that's fine, but as a beginner, you're getting used to it and missing an opportunity to learn the correct way of doing it.
Then when you finally have a case of where the "easy way" doesn't work, you're gonna get stumped, because you never learned the correct way.

[fringe plover]

i DO keep data in memory, in script that move between scenes

[teal viper]

Or even worse, your project becomes so messed up, that you can't continue without rewriting a big chunk of it. Simply because you chose the easy road.

[summer stump]

And I'm saying you could do the same by just keeping the things you want to move IN a scene, without the script for just data

[fringe plover]

What if i make build system and i have to use TryGetComponent?

[summer stump]

What about it? Then do that

[signal tide]

Can anyone tell me about it?

[teal viper]

We are not talking about one script/class(that is fine and correct actually). We're talking about singleton being a bad practice for stuff like player health.

[summer stump]

Either #archived-networking or #🏃┃animation

[fringe plover]

more likely photon server

[slender nymph]

and provide details about the setup/code

[craggy coyote]

Can anyone tell me how to access a script in another game object without accessing it using a public variable?

[summer stump]

I mean, that is a choice sure. Not necessary though

[summer stump]

https://unity.huh.how/references

[signal tide]

It works perfectly fine when I do not disable my character for my local player so I'm kinda confused what could it be

[summer stump]

#💻┃code-beginner message

[teal viper]

GetComponent should work. Make sure that the object that you're calling it on has the component.

[signal tide]

Ok thanks

[summer stump]

Did you see my response to your first question?
#💻┃code-beginner message

[craggy coyote]

what component? You mean the method TakeDamage() ?

[fringe plover]

alr, ill try to use Static Instance less..

[summer stump]

The GetComponent call you have in your code

[teal viper]

I mean this method in your code:

private void OnCollisionEnter2D(Collision2D collision)
    {
        if (collision.gameObject.tag == "Player")
        {
            if (playerHealth == null)
            {
                playerHealth = collision.gameObject.GetComponent<Health>();
            }
            playerHealth.TakeDamage(damageLevel);
        }
    }

[summer stump]

Add the debugs I mentioned.
Then come back

[craggy coyote]

You mean like this?

[summer stump]

Sorry, I do not download files. But if you have two debug.logs, one before the tag check and one after, then yes

[craggy coyote]

yes. I do.

[summer stump]

The goal is to find where the issue is.
Is OnCollisionEnter called? Is the tag on the object it is called for?

[teal viper]

Next time, follow the !code sharing guidelines

[craggy coyote]

https://pastecode.io/s/aftsncuc

sory. my bad.

[magic panther]

What the function here is supposed to do is to recognize if any pieces are a different group than the rest. If there are any, we delete the current piece that's executing the function, and just before that we create a new piece for each group recognized. Problem is Unity crashes when roomManager runs the function.

SplitHandler function -> https://gdl.space/sazefuvero.cs (I asked gpt for comments to clarify what's going on, just in case)
Entire Piece class -> https://gdl.space/oxivikegam.cs
Entire RoomManager class -> https://gdl.space/xekefuhobi.cs

[magic panther]

(Unity crashed at the end)

[slender nymph]

crashed as in closed to desktop. or do you mean the editor froze

[magic panther]

I suspected that this happens because new pieces are created before they are broken, resulting in infinite pieces, but they are first removed, then split. I have no idea how this happens now.

[magic panther]

as in I can't enter the unity app and need to close it via task manager

I'd check the console but nothing logs since it crashes immediatelly

[slender nymph]

that would be the editor freezing. which means you have an infinite loop somewhere in your code preventing the frame from ever ending

[craggy coyote]

When the enemies collide with the player nothing debugs. Which I think it does not detect any collision.

[slender nymph]

https://unity.huh.how/physics-messages

[magic panther]

the problem is I don't know where it could be situated in the code

[slender nymph]

attach the debugger, enter play mode and cause the code to enter its infinite loop, then break all using the debugger and you'll be able to inspect what the main thread is doing

[magic panther]

wdym attach the debugger

[slender nymph]

please learn how to use the tools available to you https://unity.huh.how/debugging/debugger

[magic panther]

idk what attach means in this case

[slender nymph]

then you didn't bother clicking the link i sent so i'm not going to help you further

[magic panther]

I was typing before I clicked it 🧌

mine looks different tho, is this it?

[craggy coyote]

@slender nymph ||Kinematic Rigidbody Body Type set to Kinematic. Is Trigger is off.|| so this means if my rigidbody is keynematic the collider is off?

[slender nymph]

no

[summer stump]

It does not mean tbat.

However, with a kinematic rb, OnCollisionEnter will not be sent, unless the OTHER object has a dynamic rigidbody

[slender nymph]

this line is simply explaining what "Kinematic Rigidbody" is referring to in the matrix. it refers to a rigidbody set to the Kinematic body type with a non-trigger collider

[magic panther]

bro is this the right button

[summer stump]

Does it say attach?

[magic panther]

says attach but looks different from the example, is this what was supposed to happen?

[summer stump]

Yes

[magic panther]

so now if there's an infinite loop we'll still be able to see it?

so now break all as boxfriend said

[shell herald]

anyone?

[magic panther]

I get this

after clicking view a doohickey appears on the bottom.

what do I do next

this isn't helping

what do I do with this

[magic panther]

If anyone has an idea on what might be causing the error/infinite loop, I'd really appreciate it

[slender nymph]

what do you mean it crashes? is the editor freezing, is it crashing to desktop? or (more likely) is there an error in the console causing play mode to pause?

[shell herald]

it behaves like there would be an error, but the console is clean

[slender nymph]

so play mode is being paused?

[shell herald]

yes

[teal viper]

Is that when you connect to process? Can you show the parallel callstacks?

[slender nymph]

can you unpause it?

[magic panther]

yes, one second

if you need me to move right just say

[shell herald]

yes, but then the inputs dont work

[slender nymph]

now just to be clear, i am referring to the pause of play mode, and not an in-game pause functionality. but you are disabling your inputs there

[teal viper]

This doesn't look like it's frozen.
At what timing did you break?

[shell herald]

yes, if i unpause the play mode no inputs work

[slender nymph]

cause this to happen again then screenshot the entire unity window with both the game view and console windows visible before you unpause it

[magic panther]

I'm not exactly sure what a timing is in this context, but I pressed break all about 3 seconds after unity froze/crashed

[shell herald]

now i restarted my project and am now getting an error but its about baked global illumination, though i have no baking enabled at all

[teal viper]

Hmm. Well, perhaps breaking at that point wouldn't provide any clues. Did you try looking at the logs after the crash?

[slender nymph]

please just reproduce the issue and screenshot the editor like i asked. this error is unrelated

[shell herald]

i cant anymore, now i just get this error

[magic panther]

after the crash unity just cannot be open. When I preview it by hovering my mouse on the app I see the last log was Fragment(clone), which is most likely logged by this line.

that means something has the new created fragment in it's group

[teal viper]

What I mean is looking in the !logs files

[eternal falcon]

I opened the file. What should I look for?

[teal viper]

The last logs and wether there are any errors.

Also, try commenting out the code that you added last and see if that fixes the freeze.

[magic panther]

are they top to bottom or reverse?

[teal viper]

top to bottom

[gaunt ice]

crash (closed by your os) is not freeze (not responding)

[magic panther]

this is the bottom of the file

[magic panther]

yeah I tend to mistake the two

[gaunt ice]

your case is more like freeze (you close it by task manager)

[magic panther]

exactly

I'll try to comment out last added parts

[teal viper]

Looks like it's repeating. Unless that's expected, I'd assume that you have a recursion somewhere. Did you try commenting out that code and seeing if it freezes?

[magic panther]

This is what I commented out. It's not freezing, but now it's not even breaking the walls, which is strange. I see only the regular fragments in the hierarchy and there are no other pieces in the room (not even clones created by that function)

I fixed the not breaking walls part by commenting out this line also

now hte SPlitHandler thing just logs all groups found within a piece and the group's fragments

[shell herald]

the error in the play mode seemed to be a weird unity bug where it wants me to bake global illumination even though all my lights are realtime, i somehow resolved that and now playmode works, however now i cant access my pause menu, is there any issues here?

[slender nymph]

what do you mean by you "can't access" your pause menu?

[teal viper]

Make sure none of the instantiated objects runs the commented code. That would cause a recursion and freeze the game.

[shell herald]

like the pause input doesnt register

[slender nymph]

am i supposed to know what input you are referring to?

[shell herald]

its this input, it worked before i added the first if statement in SetPausedStatus

[magic panther]

how could we do that? I thought of adding a condition whether a fragment was preplaced or generated, but a piece can always have more than 2 groups and such

[slender nymph]

do you have anything actually enabling and using this input anywhere?

[shell herald]

wdym? isnt it enabled from the start?

[slender nymph]

that depends entirely on how you are using that input

[teal viper]

Well, first of all, I don't understand why instantiation of new pieces is handled by pieces themselves. That should be called from some kind of manager.

[magic panther]

I could do that in the room manager, you're right

[shell herald]

the only time i use it in a script is in this one, i just need it to access the pause menu while being able to disable the player map

[magic panther]

so should I just run the commented out part in the roomManager or the entire function?

[teal viper]

I don't think it's as simple as that. You need to figure out why a recursion happens. Stepping through the code, when the freeze is about to happen, might provide some clues.

[gaunt ice]

i dont see anything special in the Awake() of class Piece....

[magic panther]

I'm confused as to why the instantiated pieces run the function. It's initiated by the roomManager on all pieces inside the current room, but the function itself creates new ones, so that's what confuses me

[teal viper]

It doesn't have to be in awake. If the issue is due to infinite object instantiation, it could be in wherever.

[magic panther]

I'm backtracking what it could be

[teal viper]

Maybe they don't.
Maybe it's purely the number of instantiations growing each update.
Try printing the number of room.children
before that for loop

        foreach (GameObject child in room.children) {
            if (child && child.TryGetComponent(out Piece piece)) {
                piece.SplitHandler();
            }
        }

[magic panther]

should I keep that instantiation part commented before I run this?

[teal viper]

No. Keep it in the state where it freezes

You can then look at the log file.

Another thing you can try is placing a breakpoint in the RoomManager LateUpdate after the freeze

[magic panther]

now something different happened

I heard the wall breaking noise, flash and saw the aprticles play like 30 times in one second before unity froze

(still bottom of the file)

[teal viper]

I don't see you printing what I suggested

[magic panther]

weird

wait

[magic panther]

it didn't freeze

just got so laggy it's at like 0.01 FPS

[teal viper]

Make your logs more verbose. Just printing a number is very confusing.

[magic panther]

ok

[teal viper]

If it's not freezing, you can use the profiler to see what the issue is.

[dusty shell]

my player sprite looks normal in scene view but it all choppy in game view, any idea why?

[teal viper]

Just to be safe, I'd also add the current object name to the log.

[magic panther]

you mean gameObject.name?

[magic panther]

where was the profiler?

[teal viper]

Yes.

[teal viper]

Window-Analysis

[magic panther]

again, heard a bunch of noises and then unity froze

you meant unity, right?

I have to restart it now, it froze completely once again

damn why is this so problematic

wait no

it's just ultralagged

but I can't interact with anything in unity now

[teal viper]

Yes. Unity. If it's freezing, you won't be able to profile. But the added logs should provide some clues.

[gaunt ice]

how many pieces and fragments in your world

[magic panther]

well

there's like 100 fragments

it seems

almost 100

I have a set of objects I need to switch between with numerical keys. I am unsure of how to do it other than something like this:

        if(key1) inventoryObject = 1
        if(key2) inventoryObject = 2
        if(key3) inventoryObject = 3

Any idea you can share?

[willow scroll]

The numerical keys are called Alpha0, Alpha1, Alpha2 etc.

The KeyCode is an enum, which can be converted to int

The KeyCode.Alpha0's integer is 48

Start a loop with i = 0 and check for the KeyCode being Alpha0 + i

for (int i = 0; i <= 9; i++)
{
    if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Alpha0 + i))
    {
        // ...
    }
}

Enumerable.Range(0, 10)
    .Where(i => Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Alpha0 + i))
    .ToList().ForEach(i =>
{
    // ...
});

So it's going to be

inventoryObject = Enumerable.Range(0, 10)
    .First(i => Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Alpha0 + i));

Hey I have a difficulty with Newtonsoft.Json JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<T>(File.ReadAllText(path)
I can serialize classes just fine when some props are customer enum ("bla": 1 serialized to MyEnum.First)
but if the prop is nullable custom enum I get string value of the enum instead of enum ("bla": 1 serialized to "First")

i tried to use StringEnumConverter and while debugging it did convert it to enum, but the final result of the the load function was strings

do anyone know how to handle this?

[ivory bobcat]

Did you properly reference the camera?

Your vertical changes with the mouse will only have an effect on whatever camera T is.

Other than that if it's got a rigid body component, check the constraints.

hey i want to make a script for a stamina bar and as long as i press the shift key the stamina will drop. However when i press the shift key it decresses once and not as long as i press it?

[broken cargo]

You probably have something like GetKeyDown or GetKeyUp instead of GetKey. Without seeing the code we can't tell what is wrong

[south dock]

i have tried all of them

if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.LeftShift))
{
playerMoveSpeed *= playerSprintMutiplier;
isRunning = true;

 currentStamina -= runStamina * Time.deltaTime;
 
 if (currentStamina <= 0)
 {
     currentStamina = 0;
 }
 staminaBar.fillAmount = currentStamina / maxStamina;

}

maybe im an idiot and cant see the problem

[twilit sundial]

is coroutines really the most common way to add intervals to stuff

[broken cargo]

yes

[twilit sundial]

awesome thanks

[willow scroll]

Yes, you can also use Update with Time.deltatime or async Tasks, but Coroutines are more comfortable and commonly used in Unity

[broken cargo]

The only issue I see is playerMoveSpeed *= playerSprintMutiplier; because it is called every Update it will skyrocket really fast. But I'm not sure if it will cause this crash

[south dock]

ill try to change it

THANK YOU!!!! I LOVE YOU!

it has been driving me crazy!

[burnt vapor]

Depends on use case

[twilit sundial]

yea im just starting

[burnt vapor]

Coroutines are an easy way to have intervals, but you can also use Tasks, or Unity Awaitables if you want somewhat asynchronous support

There's also timers, and the Invoke and InvokeRepeating method. These work much better as an interval over writing a Coroutine, for example

[twilit sundial]

ah yea

thanks

so whats happening?

[ivory bobcat]

It likely wasn't inactive since the beginning of the frame

im using object pooling, so the object remains inactive for a while till its required to spawn

also sometimes when i collide with a car, collision happens but my player doesnt die, happens occasionaly

[ivory bobcat]

Folks would need more information to help you with the second issue. Your first is likely due to the other object not actually being inactive since the beginning of the frame.

[slate haven]

shall I share a video?

[slate haven]

and for the 2nd issue, what shall i do to fix it?

[ivory bobcat]

You should probably share the code, inspector images and whatnot for the player and the object that isn't behaving appropriately.

[slate haven]

this is the code for the collision of other cars with player

[broken cargo]

around 7 seconds before the end you click on the active green car and it has no visuals. Odds are the car you hit was the same and became inactive when you hit it

[slate haven]

would it be due to object pooling?

if it did hit it the 1st time, it becomes inactive as per rule

then become active only if the pool is empty

I also checked the car's order in layer which is perfect

[broken cargo]

don't think so, the active car has everything right but is not visible. the only reason I have for it is order in layer

[slate haven]

but still the same problem

every time its new car

[broken cargo]

make it active from the inspector and see if it will become visible, if not try to change some parameters to make it visible and find what is it exactly

[slate haven]

oh wait it was the sorting layer

i set it to 'player' and it got fixed

also if u look at 0:16 seconds, the collision was detected but the life didnt get affected, this issue is very rare

[broken cargo]

try to debug it. You probably have a bug somewhere in your code

[languid spire]

Why do you have so many inactive cars on your track?

[slate haven]

those are the pooled cars

[slate haven]

okayy

[slate haven]

extra cars which arent needed rn so they are inactive

[languid spire]

that makes sense although I would put them under a seperate parent object so as not to pollute the hiearchy

[slate haven]

yeah i will do that as well

also what do u think about my game? does it play good? atleast from visual pov

this is my 2nd original game, yes imma beginner

[languid spire]

yeah, it looks OK

[slate haven]

Yuppp

[languid spire]

Obviously the RigidBody2D is on your player, can you screenshot that

[queen adder]

In order to call GetTransformInfoExpectUpToDate, RendererUpdateManager.UpdateAll must be called first.
UnityEngine.GUIUtility:ProcessEvent (int,intptr,bool&)

when i tried to change a tree from 16x16 to 16x32 size
doesnt work like that i guess?

[swift crag]

I've seen that one while working on a 2D project.

I don't think I ever worked out what was causing it.

[languid spire]

btw

if (collision.gameObject.tag == "Enemy" || collision.gameObject.tag == "Enemy2" || collision.gameObject.tag == "Enemy3" || collision.gameObject.tag == "Enemy4" ||
            collision.gameObject.tag == "Enemy5" || collision.gameObject.tag == "Enemy6" || collision.gameObject.tag == "Enemy7" || collision.gameObject.tag == "Enemy8" || collision.gameObject.tag == "Enemy9")

can be replaced with

if (collision.gameObject.tag.subString(0,5) == "Enemy") {
}

[slate haven]

oh, okay i wil do that

[languid spire]

or even

if (collision.gameObject.tag.StartsWith("Enemy")) {
}

[slate haven]

Yes

[languid spire]

Also, collision will always occur on inactive objects.so you might want to add an isActiveSelf test in your code

[slate haven]

yes already added

[broken cargo]

this is not true. Inactive colliders are always ignored

[swift crag]

A deactivated game object cannot experience collisions. All of its colliders are disabled.

On the other hand, a disabled Behaviour can receive collision and trigger messages

i want to ask for your opinion since its haunting me

So i have watched a lot courses and learned the c# microsoft program, but i still cant imagine how to write a procedural generated world for my game. So i tried chatGPT, but i was told this is bad to use. And since i have not idea how to write that from scratch i would need to watch tutorials/resources then. But this is also "not done by myself" stuff. I feel like a coding loser lol.

chatgpt or tutorial feel like cheating
