[swift crag]

procgen is non-trivial

and very little is completely "done by yourself"

I read articles about the "wave function collapse" scheme before implementing it; i didn't invent it on my own

[queen adder]

so its okay to watch tutorials and copy what they do/write?
since i can not think of anything writing it from scratch sadly lol

i wouldnt even know how to throw tiles from a tilemap into the map

[swift crag]

start by just figuring out how to fill an area in a tilemap with one tile

then pick tiles randomly

then start doing more complicated things

[queen adder]

90% of coders basically are just good Googlers that can make different code together 🤣🤣🤣

You are suffering from imposter syndrome

meaning what

[cosmic quail]

not even pros who havent made a procedural world before know how to do a procedural generated world without specifically studying it by googling tutorials and stuff for it and copying stuff

[queen adder]

i think ill just break it down to small pieces and ask chatgpt to explain to me this small steps, then try to write it myself

like i just asked chatgpt "how to create a chunk"
then next will be "how to set tiles from tilemaps into chunks"

and so on

[swift crag]

i would not advise using a spam generator to write your game

[cosmic quail]

its better to just look up a tutorial. there are many procedural generation tutorials

[queen adder]

okay or this then

[timid hinge]

hi guys can someone explain me something

[wanton kraken]

Why is this invalud? Please excuse my ineptitude
f(MathF.Abs(CatBody.velocity.x)>) <= 0.1)

[timid hinge]

how can i add sound to an animation on unity?

[wanton kraken]

add an audio component and then reference it in the script, i think. you should watch a youtube video on it

[wintry quarry]

Because you have a reandom nonsensical >) in it

[languid spire]

>) <=

what do you think this does?

[wanton kraken]

fuck my bad LOL

[vast vessel]

guys how do i fix this 😵

[swift crag]

you can't, really

[wintry quarry]

stop trying to use field initializers

[swift crag]

the version of C# that Unity uses doesn't allow for struct field initializers

they can only start out with the default value

[short hazel]

Field initializer is using = ... directly on fields

[vast vessel]

okay thats not an issue, ig ill just pass a default value in the constructor

[short hazel]

Note that in the C# version Unity uses, structs cannot have default parameterless constructors

[vast vessel]

can structs be seralized in the editor?

[queen adder]

Is it possible to define spawn points for the input manager?

[wintry quarry]

yes, subject to the normal serialization rules

[vast vessel]

ty

[wintry quarry]

Not in the input manager, no. Elsewhere

[queen adder]

Meaning for the player joining

[queen adder]

Would you happen to know where that would be?

[wintry quarry]

What do you mean?

It's not something built into anything

you would create it

[queen adder]

Oh right okay

[queen adder]

Thanks

[swift crag]

it'll send a message to MonoBehaviours on the same game object as itself

[wintry quarry]

Note these events exist: https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.inputsystem@1.5/api/UnityEngine.InputSystem.PlayerInputManager.html#UnityEngine_InputSystem_PlayerInputManager_onPlayerJoined

[swift crag]

You can react to the join/leave there

you can also subscribe to those events, yeah

[queen adder]

Thanks alot

idk i feel like giving up to even start making my game
i learned so much hours of c#, but chatgpt aswell as tutorials seem to be cheaty
Since i can copy, but not actually write or change stuff accordingly.

I would need help on like very meter of that developement lol. Damn game dev is hard and frustrating. Hm.

Theres no "cheating" as long as you're learning and having fun who cares

[pliant oyster]

How do I do a "Please press a key" thing for rebinding controls? I tried googling but only found outdated information about it being impossible.

[wanton kraken]

nothing good in life is ever easy, my friend. keep trying hard. use your head, do your own reserach, and never rely on videos to copy and paste stuff. you got this

[wanton kraken]

there's probably a command in unity to find the key being pressed. or you could be a madman and have a massive if statement xD

[pliant oyster]

I know there's "Input.GetKeyDown" but how do I use it? And how do I make the environment that allows it to listen for the keypress?

[magic panther]

Dlich, if you're reading this, I fixed it.
The function was just poorly written, so I started over and now it works (it seems so, at least)

[languid spire]

although you can do key rebinding using the old inputsystem. the new input system is very much more suited to that

[pliant oyster]

I want to use the new one but I don't really know my way around. I haven't found what the way is to find how to do it.

[languid spire]

https://learn.unity.com/project/using-the-input-system-in-unity

[pliant oyster]

I will assume I might have to start a coroutine on button click, then stop it once it captured and set the key as well as the image, or default to the previous key on leave?

[pliant oyster]

Thanks!

Do I have to separately install something for it?

It talks about "Input System Package" and IIRC packages are installable optional content.

[languid spire]

yes, in the package mange look for tyhe Input System package

[pliant oyster]

Thank you!

This one?

Or is that the old one?

[summer stump]

That is it

The old one is not a package

You can tell because anything that says Input SYSTEM is the new one. The old is the Input class and InputManager class

I guess also that the description says "a new input system"

[pliant oyster]

Thank you!

[languid spire]

Please learn to read what is on your screen

[swift crag]

The old system is built into the editor, and configured from the "Input Manager" section of the project settings

[pliant oyster]

I just wanted to make sure, sorry about that.

I had some experiences of falsely assuming which led to some projects I spent a long time on being permanently ruined, so I make extra effort to avoid misunderstandings.

[summer stump]

@pliant oyster That sounds like you are not using Version Control.
Stop everything and set that up now

[languid spire]

not assuming is very, very good practice, just dont take it too far

[pliant oyster]

Will do that

[swift crag]

you should be able to hit your project with a sledgehammer without any risk of losing your work

i can't imagine not using version control nowadays

[pliant oyster]

I'll use github and periodically upload my project there.

Thanks!

[vital tangle]

hello

i have a basic trouble

consider i have a raw image in UI

at position x = 0

position y = 0

and height and widht are equally 50

now i want to use my mouse scroll to increase or decrease this size and width equally

[languid spire]

and your question is?

[vital tangle]

suppose i got the mouse up and down values

[queen adder]

So you want to zoom?

[languid spire]

Perhaps https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/RectTransform.SetSizeWithCurrentAnchors.html

[vital tangle]

sorry for bad internet

[turbid bridge]

does anyone have any information on how i can set a drop down in a menu to translate my game from english to other languages please

[wintry quarry]

the dropdown menu is the least of your concerns. Look into the localization package https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.localization@1.5/manual/QuickStartGuideWithVariants.html

[swift crag]

Store the original width and height. Multiply those by the scroll value.

[languid spire]

then calculate a % increase/ decrease based on current sizes

[short hazel]

Sending it all in one message would probably solve it, instead of hitting Enter every five words.
Shift+Enter to add a newline without sending the message

[vital tangle]

here is something i am doing

[turbid bridge]

lots of code changes to pick up the languages i guess

[vital tangle]

ok will care next time

[vital tangle]

isnt there anything like a math equation from which i can do the calculation

i am pretty bad with such stuff

From what I was thinking
i thought of taking ratio by ratio value and then increase decrease that to generate the new zoom value

[languid spire]

calculating a % is pretty basic math

[vital tangle]

sorry but real noob with maths

[languid spire]

google is your friend

[vital tangle]

arent you guys friends as well

[languid spire]

we are here to point you in the right direction, not take you by the hand to cross the street

[vital tangle]

🙃

[languid spire]

btw, if you want to continue with game dev you are going to have to get pretty good with math pretty damn quick otherwise your life is going to be miserable

[vital tangle]

yea

i know right

tho i am developing a sort of tool right now rather than a game

[vital tangle]

as you can see here

[queen adder]

Bro I've made rpgs and never needed math

[languid spire]

big doubt

[queen adder]

You don't need math knowledge for gamedev 90% OF THE TIME

[languid spire]

no, wrong, 99% of ANY dev is math

[queen adder]

At worst you just copy paste copy frommonline

[languid spire]

that ain't dev and if you think it is you are very much mistaken

[queen adder]

I made a old school Zelda clone for college nevervneeded any crazy math

[vital tangle]

i agree

[languid spire]

ah, so now we've gone from 'no math' to 'no crazy math' which is it?

[vital tangle]

i usually serialize my animations and using encryption algorithms

[queen adder]

You don't need to know trig or whatever unless you are making a particle system or physics or whatever and 90% of it is copy paste

[vital tangle]

for the best efficiency you need the best way to compute stuff

there maths come in handy

Dealing and Quaternions and stuff as well

[queen adder]

i think i give up at this point. I have my dream game in mind, but then its the question if others would even enjoy it. Unity and coding seem to be fun, but its frustrating to be just a copy/paster from the very beginning not knowing how/if it affects your game. I guess it would take months or years to make a beginner 2d game. Like i know what i want to create/do, but there is not even an idea of how to put it into the game code wise. Im also bad at designing graphics and dont want to use open source ones that everyone uses. Guess its just not meant to be at this point and i should maybe do something else. Code small projects with c# general or just focus on one sub-part of game dev like creating pixel art and selling.

Thanks for all your help guys. Rip.

[frank zodiac]

i added a debug for my Keyboard.current.leftMouse.isPressed and for some reason when I click my mouse once it prints 7 times.. why is that?

I only want it to print once

[wintry quarry]

because 7 frames elapsed

[frank zodiac]

wait so it registers it every frame? not just the frame i pressed it in?

[wintry quarry]

Update runs every frame

you're cehcking if the button is currently held down with that code

[frank zodiac]

how do i make it check only if the button is pressed once

[wintry quarry]

if you want only the initial press, use Keyboard.current.leftMouse.wasPressedThisFrame

[languid spire]

You cannot even code a simple for loop without knowing math

[frank zodiac]

thank you!

[vital tangle]

yea

[frank zodiac]

by the way; you mean Mouse.current.leftMouse.wasPressedThisFrame, not Keyboard.current.leftButton.wasPressedThisFrame

[queen adder]

Bro if you consider 5+5 "math worth considering" idk what to tell you

[tough lagoon]

If you don't think 5+5 is math...

[languid spire]

math is math, whether it's 1+1 or quatrilateral equations, it's all math

[queen adder]

Yes its "math" but if thats something that you consider worth mentionjng...

[languid spire]

#💻┃code-beginner message

[queen adder]

People ask if you need to know "math" they are asking if they need to know physics, not basic pemdas

[vital tangle]

i wrote 4,000 lines of code just to make a file browser that opens and browse assets
and you cant even imagine what algorithms i used in that process

you have to agree
if you are not good with maths
you cannot even do all these for loops

[languid spire]

you cannot know that. OP, who started this, did not know how to calculate a %

[tough lagoon]

It's important to mention, a tool or asset store creator creating tools for devs, understanding optimization, math, structures etc is even more important. Gamedevs will rely on your tools (and, in a way, expertise) to make their games. And to avoid a lot of support calls, the more you can do early on the better.

I had to brush up on three.js euler to quaternion and deconstructing/reconstructing matrixs this week for a webAR thing. But it's good to learn.

I'll also go against the grain and say to ask AI about it from time to time. Don't take it as valid, but it can help nudge you in the right direction if you don't have a lot of time to really breakdown the subject.

[vital tangle]

Thanks for the advise

[rich adder]

the first part looks like the free browser asset on unity asset store 🤔

[finite hornet]

What tutorial did you use if any? I am also wanting to do something similiar for players to upload custom emotes in my game

[vital tangle]

just a tool for studying game files

[tough lagoon]

I disagree, if i wanted to recommend physics I'd recommend physics. Telling someone trying to learn percentages to create gamedev tools that they need to get more comfortable with math is not only completely appropriate, but way more on point than this side tangent. Imo.

[vital tangle]

I dont use tutorials
just experience

also I am 18

[rich adder]

so you ripped off the code just say so lol

[vital tangle]

ripped off???

yo we can have a debate on this if you say ripped off

[finite hornet]

That is awesome, but make sure you are doing the best coding practices

[rich adder]

could've at least changed the UI of it so I wouldnt recognize it lol

[vital tangle]

Huh?

[tough lagoon]

🍿

[vital tangle]

ripped off??

you dummy

[vital tangle]

you dont even know how much it takes to build one

[vital tangle]

🤣

[rich adder]

makes me question how much of this is your code..

[languid spire]

Actually, I do, having built many

[vital tangle]

i wasnt talking about this file browser

[frank zodiac]

if a gameobject is active then the Start() function runs, then i make it inactive then i set it to active will the Start() function run again? or does it run only on the first frame?

[swift crag]

No.

[vital tangle]

the browser i use to itterate between files i loaded from the filebrowser

[swift crag]

The Start message only gets sent to a component once.

[vital tangle]

i was talking about that

[finite hornet]

Only the first frame

[frank zodiac]

ah thats disappointing

[swift crag]

OnEnable gets sent many times, though (:

Note that OnEnable gets called immediately after Awake -- and not alongside Start

[rich adder]

You could've been a bit more clear instead of claiming 4000 lines as some kind of flex lol

[swift crag]

(assuming that the component is enabled when it gets instantiated)

[vital tangle]

yoooo

i can show proof as my script

[rich adder]

I just thought it was funny we dont have to prove anything. lets moveon

[vital tangle]

take a look at it

[finite hornet]

html and css don't requre that much for a simple front end site, unless you did something wrong

[frank zodiac]

thank you! that solves the issue then

[swift crag]

[rich adder]

yeah I wish I wouldn't have seen that lol

[vital tangle]

🥲

you guys literally went against me

what wrong did i do?

[rich adder]

nobody is against you my guy

You said "I made a file browser" I saw the two matched, thought it was funny.. let move on lol

[languid spire]

nobody is trying to put you down but, if math is a problem for you I seriously suggest you spend some time worknig on that

[finite hornet]

Honestly you worked hard, it is visible in the code. But if you knew a bit more it would be easier on you, like spamming if statements is never good my man

[tough lagoon]

I wouldn't worry about it too much, we are all somewhere on our journey, and gotta pick which path in front of us is the most interesting (and avoid those that are distracting)

[vital tangle]

on it

[swift crag]

i should point out that this is obviously an interface for an asset ripper

[vital tangle]

really?

[vital tangle]

studying game files i said

not a ripper

[short hazel]

It's the same thing

It opens files which you aren't legally supposed to

[languid spire]

A very poor euphemism

[swift crag]

It's using UAE to extract data from a built Unity game. All of the code is copy-pasted logic to display different kinds of Unity assets.

[short hazel]

You cannot get help about it here

[vital tangle]

yea sorry

[rich adder]

stiches a bunch of assets together phew I wrote 4000 lines of this amazing code, math is hard

[swift crag]

it's mostly copy-pasted logic with a few unique lines for each kind of asset

[vital tangle]

😕

i did rather not hear stuff about any effort i did

thanks for that

[rich adder]

maybe don't claim 4000 lines as some kind of impressive feat, I wouldn't have been tempted to roast the statement lol

[swift crag]

you're the one barging in and asserting your skill, so...

[vital tangle]

🙂

[swift crag]

to answer your original question: calculate the ratio of the short side to the long side. use that to scale how quickly you change the short side's size

[vital tangle]

ok i backdown from my statement

[vital tangle]

i already figured it out

[swift crag]

a 30x50 image, for example, would grow 60% as fast on the minor axis

[vital tangle]

thanks for the guide

[wintry quarry]

I was just copying what you wrote, but yes

[vital tangle]

bye!

[vital tangle]

the thing i did like to know
how come do you know the name UAE?

[swift crag]

🤫

I have my own sins (:

[vital tangle]

🤣

man damn that shit is unreleased

[swift crag]

this server simply doesn't allow you to discuss or get help with such things

along with modding in general

[vital tangle]

yea i know
my help was not related to modding rather development

so that's doesnt make any issues for me

[vital tangle]

dms allowed for you?

want to ask something

[high lava]

ive been trying to get unity (this version in particular because it's the one i need for an ultrakill level editor kit) and it keeps getting stuck in the validation stage of the editor application, i've searched online and tried solutions i found but none worked. does anyone have any idea on how i could fix this

[warm condor]

Hey, so I am well aware that when you use the invoke method in unity, you will have to define what the name of the function. However, is there a way you can use the invoke method by executing one line of code instead of calling a function?

[burnt vapor]

You mean a delegate? No

If you want an easier time combine Invoke with nameof to avoid confusion with magic strings

[warm condor]

delegate? never heard of it. What is it and how do you use it?

[pliant oyster]

I set up the new input system like the earlier linked tutorial said, now how do I capture the user's input and tell the system "hey, the user is now using a custom keybind for this action"?

[burnt vapor]

Well, what else do you mean then? Got an example?

[vast vessel]

hey guys. why cant i add the OnDrawGizmos callback to my MonoBehaviour?

[slender nymph]

you can, you just have to actually write the entire method signature

[warm condor]

Here is an example of using an invoke function-> Invoke("NameOfFunction", time);
Now, what I want is to not create a method to use the invoke function, but instead I want to invoke
one line of code like this->Invoke(boolValue = true, time);

is there a way I can do this? My goal with this is to not create a useless function that executes only one line of code.

[vast vessel]

i dont get it in auto completion tho. its weird

[vast vessel]

but this did work

[woeful terrace]

Sorry for the headache I might be about to drop...

I come from gamemaker, is it possible to create global variables, or have a variable be easily accessible by other scripts?

[slender nymph]

if a variable is public you can access it by getting a reference to the object that it is on

[woeful terrace]

Ah thanks updated the message (Can't get the txt file away tho for some reason)

[warm condor]

Hey can someone help me here #💻┃code-beginner message

[swift crag]

Your if / else if / else logic is wrong.

[languid spire]

your pseudo code makes no sense but it looks like you want a lambda method

[swift crag]

Add some braces.

[warm condor]

ok thank you, you have given me a clue

[swift crag]

            if (!sprinting)
                if (grounded)
                    ;
                else if (!grounded)
                    ;
                else
                    ;
            if (grounded)
                ;
            else if (!grounded)
                ;

I've re-indented it.

Notice how this is not what you intended.

C# does not care about indentation. That middle else is associated with the previous else if.

[woeful terrace]

Alright I think I get u, what do you mean by add braces tho?

[swift crag]

you know { }

[wintry quarry]

yeah this is looking very python

[swift crag]

if (!sprinting) {
  // ...
} else {
  // ...
}

[swift crag]

just needs an attempted elif 😉

[rocky canyon]

whitespace nightmares!

[warm condor]

ok, so I have tried to use this lambda operator, and this is what I have tried Invoke(() => Debug.Log("bdjabdha"), 1f);and I am getting this error:

[swift crag]

Invoke does not work like that.

[woeful terrace]

Oh I see, it's because i for some reason don't really have any in the move player function and I should have them after every if/eklse/else if statement right?

[swift crag]

MonoBehaviour.Invoke sends a message, optionally after a delay

This has nothing to do with System.Action.Invoke, which executes an action

System.Action foo = () => Debug.Log("Hi");
foo.Invoke();

[swift crag]

Especially when you have nested if/else if/else statements, yes

It's very easy to lose track of what goes with what.

Note that your IDE's formatter will reveal this

[swift crag]

I just pasted this into Rider, deleted the expressions (leaving only empty statements), and then auto-formatted it

[warm condor]

ok and where do I set the time parameter?

[woeful terrace]

Alright thank you I will see if I can get it to work now otherwise I will be back (prob will be anyway with someting else soon lol) but yea I really appreciate the help

[swift crag]

A coroutine would be appropriate.

Calling Invoke() on an action runs it instantly. C# has no notion of "waiting"

IEnumerator Wait(System.Action callback, float delay ) {
  yield return new WaitForSeconds(delay);
  callback();
}

(you can simply use the () operator here)

[woeful terrace]

@swift crag Def works now thank you so much!

Quick question. In my roomManager script (https://gdl.space/kumejesuli.cs), I create a Room roomSave variable which I set to be the room we load. Later on I use this fact to load the roomSave to make a Restart mechanic. Everything works as intended, except for the fact that the roomSave is updated along with whatever it was saved as. I had this problem when I started learning javaScript, and this is caused by me saving the reference to that room, not the actual room's data. If there is a way to set roomSave to a COPY of whatever object we set it as, I'd be thankful to anyone who tells me. (I asked chatGPT and he broke everything, as always)

[swift crag]

You need to be able to either:

• create a new Room that's a copy of an original
• serialize and deserialize your Room

(these are roughly the same thing)

[magic panther]

you mean add a Room variable for every single room?

like, make every one a prefab?

[swift crag]

You can't "make" a prefab at runtime

and I didn't suggest adding more room variables

[swift crag]

What is a Room, exactly?

Is this a GameObject/some other unity object?

[magic panther]

a class that stores objects inside, an object

[swift crag]

Show me the Room class.

[white orbit]

question how do i learn C# like the most optimal way.

[magic panther]

https://gdl.space/depibovede.cs

[floral panther]

learn the basics, then try to figure out how to make simple scripts on your own, and look up small things if you get stuck

[white orbit]

and where do i learn the basics

[magic panther]

gpt suggests adding something like this

which could work, those are all the public variables we use

[magic panther]

should I give it a go?

[floral panther]

youtube

or

somewhere else

idk

[swift crag]

Microsoft Learn will teach you C# more generally

I would lean towards the latter

[white orbit]

tysm

[swift crag]

note that GameObject[].Clone() is not a "deep copy". It just creates a new array with the same things in it.

You can Instantiate the entire room to create a new object. This may be appropriate.

However, this would break those children links

I would suggest trying to separate the mutable and non-mutable parts of Room

So, you've got that "interacted" field -- that changes as you play, right?

[magic panther]

the second you make a move it changes. I mostly added that for debugging purposes in case the level is Clear'd instantly

[swift crag]

If most of the Room stays the same, give it a "Restore" method that resets those mutable parts back to the defaults.

[swift crag]

also, this wouldn't work because you can't construct a new MonoBehaviour

[magic panther]

what changes is mostly the children array and all the data of everything inside it

[swift crag]

well then that gets a lot more complicated!

I guess you could parent all of the rooms to an object and Instantiate the entire thing

[magic panther]

would just making all rooms prefab variants of the main Room prefab an option? Or is this a cowardly approach

[uncut shoal]

Hello! I'm using Graphics.DrawMeshNow but nothing is being drawn?

void Update()
{
    foreach (var chunk in chunks) 
    {
        // set first shader pass of the material
        worldMaterial.SetPass(0);
        // draw mesh at the origin
        Graphics.DrawMeshNow(chunk.mesh, chunk.position * 16, Quaternion.identity);
    }
}

[swift crag]

Do you need to remember multiple rooms with connections to each other?

I'm unclear on the scope here.

[uncut shoal]

When I put the mesh on a mesh renderer it renderers fine, but when I do this, it doesn't do anything.

No errors, either.

[magic panther]

I just need a room with all it's properties stored in a variable in a way where I can recall it from that exact state it was saved in

[swift crag]

That does not answer my question. Do you need to remember how rooms are connected together?

children is a field on Room, so...maybe you do?

[magic panther]

rooms are not connected besides being on the rooms list in roomManager

[swift crag]

You can instantiate all of your rooms (thus creating new ones) and use those for gameplay. When you restart, destroy the instances.

[magic panther]

ok im back

[magic panther]

I think I'd need to rewrite a bunch of my code

[swift crag]

Why?

[magic panther]

I don't quite understand, can you evaluate?

[swift crag]

Room instanced = Instantiate(originalRoom);

This will copy the game object and all components on that game object, including the Room component.

[magic panther]

Do I put this at the top in Room?

[swift crag]

this would cause every room to copy itself, and every copy would copy itself, and ...

[swift crag]

When the game starts, make a copy of your rooms. You will use these rooms to play the game.

When the game restarts, destroy those copies and make new ones.

[magic panther]

so I should make an originalRooms array, add the rooms there

and then... hold on a second

[frank zodiac]

why did i just get 44 errors when i opened my project??

[magic panther]

There's a lot to change in the manager now

[rocky canyon]

you got conflicts.. for (1) you have two scripts called InputActions.cs

[magic panther]

wait, I already have an originalRooms array of rooms where I add each room on Awake

ok, @swift crag I think we can use the originalRooms array, as the only place it's used so far is adding all rooms to it on roomManager's Awake.

[pliant oyster]

I set up the new input system like the earlier linked tutorial said, now how do I capture the user's input and tell the system "hey, the user is now using a custom keybind for this action"?

[frank zodiac]

i deleted my old inputactions but now i have this error. i assume its because of conflicting class names but there arent any, theyre exactly the same so idk what the issue is

[summer stump]

#🖱️┃input-system is where you should ask. There are also pinned resources you should check out

[magic panther]

I thought maybe I could instantiate the originalRooms array's rooms on Start/Awake, swap their position on the array for the new instantiated ones, and then we'd have something to work with, but I see too many complications this would result in

[pliant oyster]

Thank you very much!

[magic panther]

man, why is this so weird

[gusty lotus]

Is there a way to check if a navmesh has been built?

[rich adder]

maybe you can check the bake data on a navmesh surface if its not null

[rocky canyon]

nah, thats not naming conflicts, now its just a regular script error

[gusty lotus]

Sorry I forgot to mention this, im building the navmesh at runtime for a generated maze, can I still check the bake data

[rich adder]

yeah

Is this the right way to nest coroutines?
https://paste.ofcode.org/9M8ywXDCiBfsanabp7Raa7

[rocky canyon]

i couldnt say ive never nested a coroutine in a coroutine but im interested to see what other have to say

[frank zodiac]

i fixed it by deleting the old script and re making it

[rocky canyon]

nice 👍

an empty console is a happy console

[languid spire]

nothing obviously wrong with that

[vital tangle]

    public GameObject scrolluv;
    void Update()
    {
        if (Input.GetAxis("Mouse ScrollWheel") > 0f  || Input.GetAxis("Mouse ScrollWheel") < 0f)
        {
            //Get the mouse position on the screen and send a raycast into the game world from that position.
            Vector2 worldPoint = Camera.main.ScreenToWorldPoint(Input.mousePosition);
            RaycastHit2D hit = Physics2D.Raycast(worldPoint, Vector2.zero);

            //If something was hit, the RaycastHit2D.collider will not be null.
            if (hit.collider != null && hit.transform.gameObject == scrolluv)
            {
                Debug.Log(hit.collider.name);
            }
        }
    }```

i have this code to tell me if i am scrolling it tells me if the object i am scrolling on with my mouse is

but it doesnt work

it always displays the value even when my mouse is not hovering the 2d object

[rich adder]

what does? this function doesnt return anything

[summer stump]

What does it say it hit when not over the object?

[vital tangle]

it hit even when its not over the object

[summer stump]

That is not what I asked

What does it say it hit?

The name. In the console

[vital tangle]

yes

the name in the console

it says it hit

when the mouse is not even at that point on screen

[summer stump]

Please read what I am saying

What. Is. The. Name

[wintry quarry]

FYI it would be more appropriate here to use Camera.main.ScreenPointToRay and Physics2D.GetRayIntersection

Physics2D.Raycast was designed for raycasts within the 2D world

[wintry quarry]

seems like you have some object named "texture image"

[summer stump]

There we go. You have an object called texture image

[wintry quarry]

probably a background image or something

[summer stump]

You could put that to ignore raycast layer

[vital tangle]

its not really a gameobject
but a 2d Ui raw image

[summer stump]

Ui is still a gameobject....
Everything is a gameobject

[wintry quarry]

sounds like you put a collider on a UI element which is a nono

[vital tangle]

yes i added a box collider2d

[wintry quarry]

why

[summer stump]

Well... remove that

[vital tangle]

so that when the ray collides it would return me that object

[wintry quarry]

UI should not have a collider

[rocky canyon]

UI elements automatically have their own detection

[wintry quarry]

Use the event system for this

[rich adder]

use the Pointer interface

[rocky canyon]

[vital tangle]

ok let me remove the collider

now what to do?

[wintry quarry]

what are you trying to do exactly

which objects are you trying to detect

[vital tangle]

using my cursor to point over a specific image and use scroll

if the cursor points on some other object and scroll
it should not affect anything and the void must return

[wintry quarry]

Attach an EventTrigger component to your image

[vital tangle]

more like a image zoom in and zoom out

[wintry quarry]

and set up the "OnScroll" event

[vital tangle]

i want the image to zoom when the mouse is scrolled onto it

[wintry quarry]

or make your script implement IScrollHandler

[vital tangle]

let me do it

[vital tangle]

event trigger seems good to me

worked

thanks for the help

your the best

[queen adder]

Yeah I had some sort of thing like this in mind, thank you for providing an example

[brisk ruin]

Guys why the post process volume component doesn't affect my scene 💔

[slender nymph]

you gotta do this

also this is a code channel

[brisk ruin]

Oh sorry

[rocky canyon]

holy gamma batman

[vital tangle]

hey ummm

i have a scroll rect

and i have an image

[hexed terrace]

speak in full sentences, and remember this is a code channel.

[summer stump]

I have a capsule collider
And a plane. More than one in fact!

[vital tangle]

is there a way i can scroll by clicking in the image
rather than dragging the viewport

the problem i am facing is that

i selected the image as the content in scroll rect and the borders as the viewport

the problem i am facing is that
i cant use scroll by clicking on the image
but i can use scroll by clicking on the viewport

any fixes

(Also sorry for my previous half sentences)

[hexed terrace]

not a code issue, -> #📲┃ui-ux make sure the image has the target raycast bool ticked

[high lava]

ive been trying to get unity (this version in particular because it's the one i need for an ultrakill level editor kit) and it keeps getting stuck in the validation stage of the editor application, i've searched online and tried solutions i found but none worked. does anyone have any idea on how i could fix this

[vital tangle]

ok let me try

[summer stump]

Not a code question, see in #💻┃unity-talk

[high lava]

oh mb

[frank zodiac]

guys for me to run animation events do i have to have the component that has the function attached to the gameobject with the animator or is it okay if its from another object

[wintry quarry]

It has to be attached to the same object as the Animator

[frank zodiac]

oh that sucks

[orchid pewter]

shows me this when i launched my project, i can show code

welp

[wintry quarry]

I'm explaining to you why you're seeing errors

thats alright, 1s

wait nvm chat gpt just helped me

I mean, sounds like ChatGPT actually got to see the code

[orchid pewter]

ur saying robot isnt better then human?

[summer stump]

You're in for a rough lesson

[orchid pewter]

what

[wintry quarry]

Is it a fair comparison if the robot gets to see the code and the human doesn't?

[slender nymph]

just wait until the robot gives you entirely incorrect information that you don't recognize as incorrect and nobody else is there to point out that it's incorrect

yes

ofcourse it is

Hello, I'm having problems displaying a scriptable object.

Item.cs scriptable object: https://pastebin.com/wPTb0GNQ
DisplayItem.cs my UI script that is attached to a parent container containing various UI elements related: https://pastebin.com/7AYTcENL

Errors in code: NOTE that none of my Debug.Logs display.
NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object
DisplayItem.UpdateUI () (at Assets/Scripts/DisplayItem.cs:28)
DisplayItem.Start () (at Assets/Scripts/DisplayItem.cs:20)

I made an Item 'Charcoal'. Picture in editor: https://jumpshare.com/s/pRkx8vrNxiXfYrqo8ioT
I've setup UI elements to display here along with buttons. The buttons have their On Click() function referencing DisplayItem.IncreaseQuantity() and DisplayItem.DecreaseQuantity().
Pics of my Hierarchy and Inspector of 'Item Line' which contains my 'DisplayItem' script: https://jumpshare.com/s/CqQZl0fLoYCshBoZCVgu

Hopefully I made it easy to navigate. It's my first time posting in here.

[slender nymph]

itemAmountText is null and is never assigned to anywhere

[summer stump]

itemAmountText is null, for that exception
Ah 🦥

[short meadow]

right but I'm assigning it on line 28 itemAmountText.text = item.itemQuantity.ToString(); I believe that would convert the Int variable from item class which is assigned 0 default. Am I misunderstanding something here?

[slender nymph]

no you are accessing its text property on that line, not assigning to that variable

[rich adder]

you're assigning text, that isnt what the error is about

[languid spire]

for future reference this
DisplayItem.UpdateUI () (at Assets/Scripts/DisplayItem.cs:28)
tells you exactly which script and line of code the exception occurs on

[slender nymph]

the variable is null so accessing its text property is causing the NullReferenceException

[rich adder]

https://unity.huh.how/runtime-exceptions/nullreferenceexception

[slender nymph]

don't worry, when you figure out how to assign it, you'll end up with another because icon is also null. then after fixing that you'll have to do the same for craftingSize

[short meadow]

I had those set to public and referenced before. I have no memory of making them private. My brain is super fried but it's fixed, thank you guys.

[slender nymph]

you can still make them private, they just need to be serialized. you can slap a [SerializeField] attribute on a private variable to be able to assign to it in the inspector. that way other objects cannot reassign the variables as well

[short meadow]

So if I want my buttons to work to increase or decrease the amount I can't Serialize the Quantity right? Because then the buttons wouldn't be able to interact with the script? So in that specific case it would need to be public?

[slender nymph]

huh? your buttons would call the Increase and Decrease Quantity methods. as long as those are public they can be accessed by the button(s)

[short meadow]

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh I see now that makes sense. Thank you, I was looking at this like "How is this working???"

[slender nymph]

and public variables are serialized already. that's how they appear in the inspector

[short meadow]

so is it just best practice to Serialize anything that you wouldn't want to be public? I may go back to the documentation on access container types.

[rocky canyon]

i feel ur overcomplicating it.

[short meadow]

probably

[slender nymph]

if you want something to be editable in the inspector but not accessible to other objects, then yes it will need to be private (or protected if you want to allow access to inherited classes) and you will need the SerializeField attribute on it. that attribute just makes non-public fields serialized since public fields are already serialized (if they are a type that can be serialized)

[rocky canyon]

you use different protection for w/e the variable is needed for

public, private, static, [SerializeField] private, etc

[slender nymph]

best practice is to have no public fields at all though. use properties if you want other objects to have access

[rocky canyon]

^ thats a big beginner mistake.. eeven me

[short meadow]

That makes sense.

[rocky canyon]

thats why u use private variables unless that variables needs accessed outside the class from somewhere

then if u need to expose a private variable for ease to you (assigning it for example) u can use the SerializeField attribute

its easy in the beginning to make everything public soo u feel like u have full control in the editor

u can also hide a public variable if u need to.

[short meadow]

I feel like I went over all of this in the Create with code course and it's only now really sinking in. (I am a conversational learner though so that checks out). Thanks for your patients and explanations guys.

[rocky canyon]

that eureka moment.. i call it a click moment

that happens alot... when ur learning.. usually delayed a bit after learning something lol 😅

w/ coding stuff makes more senes when u start implementing it hands on.. and some things u learn u dont really need to know until you do

[eager spindle]

before I started learning game dev full time it took me a long time before it clicked on how I can break down the game I want to make into approachable tasks which felt like a wall before I could start any project

but by doing more fun projects more things will click

[rocky canyon]

absolutely agree, thats why i ended up with dozens of prototypes.. i may never use em but i learned alot from each one

[short meadow]

I'm noticing something weird. Are scriptable objects supposed to be used as a save-load type thing? When I increase or decrease in play mode and then exit and reload it stays exactly where it left off. I assumed since everything else is temporary during play mode it would have set those values back.

Or is that a bug in editor?

[eager spindle]

saveload thing? not really they're just for storing data
yes, scriptable objects are supposed to not revert once play mode is ended. but in the built version, scriptable objects will revert to their original state.

youll have to do additional work to get scriptable objects to revert to their original state.

[short meadow]

That's good to know. I haven't done any research on save/load. I assume I can do all this with export/import into a jason file but that interaction just threw me for a loop. I'll keep that in mind while I build, thanks again!

[eager spindle]

generally the process for save/load is to write to a file. this is up to you on how you'd like to do it.

if you publish to steam you can use steam's sdk to save player data. if your game is synced to an online network, thats an entirely new topic. the overall process is to write your own code to save/load to a file.

the file you save/load to can be plaintext for now, encrypted if you know what you're doing, or the overkill solution is to start your own db locally

in my current game I'm storing my stuff in plaintext 😦

[rocky canyon]

speaking of.. is it bad to use scene indices over other methods like string names

[eager spindle]

id say scene indices are about as "hard coded" as string names

[rocky canyon]

yea, im feeling that..

thats why i asked

[eager spindle]

you can always re-order your scenes by accident but your scene names wont change

[rocky canyon]

i need to use a cutscene now.. and id have to drop all these down a row

thats ridiculous

[eager spindle]

plus scene names are serialised like dictionaries anyw

i wonder if we can change scene directly based on a scene asset reference

[rocky canyon]

i probably could use an array instead

[rocky canyon]

im not sure i'll try that in a min

[eager spindle]

i wish it were that way but because of legacy code it will not happen

[rocky canyon]

a list of scenes would be fine w/ me

[eager spindle]

scenes are built into the code

[eternal needle]

Use SceneAsset with if unity editor, then in onvalidate populate this array based on an array of SceneAsset

[slender nymph]

i just wrote a property drawer for a SceneAttribute that will draw a list of my scenes to choose from for a string variable. I think NaughtyAttributes probably has one of those as well

[queen adder]

Naughtyattributes

😏

[wintry quarry]

If it's a singleton you can just get the reference on demand

[slender nymph]

if you are trying to access the singleton, do it no sooner than in Start, especially if the singleton is initialized in Awake. you don't want the non-deterministic execution order of different objects to potentially fuck you over. but yeah you can also just access it on-demand rather than caching a reference to it in one of those initialization methods

rule of thumb is to do all self-initialization in Awake then wait until Start to access other components to ensure they are already properly initialized to the state you are expecting them to be in when you access them

[outer coral]

And then when worst comes to worst WaitUntil() they are initialized

[mild onyx]

so is there a way to swap a sprites texture? i figured that it would be less time consuming for me to duplicate my sprite and change the texture than to create a whole new sprite and manually add all the "rules" to it

[swift crag]

You can create a sprite object through code. That might be relevant.

I have not done that, though

[lethal bolt]

Why dosent this get the bullet prefab?

[slender nymph]

well for starters, a prefab does not live in the scene so it wouldn't find it with the tag since that only checks the scene

[ivory bobcat]

The scene probably doesn't have a bullet object

This method returns the first GameObject it finds with the specified tag. If a scene contains multiple active GameObjects with the specified tag, there is no guarantee this method will return a specific GameObject.

[slender nymph]

and you can just drag the prefab into the slot in the inspector instead of using the Find call

[lethal bolt]

Oh. but what about getting an prefab that there is none of in the scene?

[lethal bolt]

Im doing this in another prefab

[slender nymph]

prefabs can reference other prefabs

[ivory bobcat]

I don't understand your question. It finds a scene object, not a prefab.

[lethal bolt]

Oh...

but ig i can just place the bullet prefab into the enemy. Lol.

Thanks!

[lethal bolt]

do i need to use another type of Instantiate because it says The Object you want to instantiate in null?

[slender nymph]

that means it was not assigned on whatever object you are using

[ivory bobcat]

You're probably referencing nothing

[lethal bolt]

oh because of the old code i removed the prefab........

[slender nymph]

ah yeah, if you didn't remove that line in Start then you're overwriting the inspector assignment with null

[mild onyx]

do scripts interfere with one and other or do they stay separate? in other words do they share variables?

[swift crag]

There are no "globals"

so x in one class will have nothing to do with x in another class

There are static members, which are part of the type itself, rather than part of a specific object.

public class Foo : MonoBehaviour {
  private static int counter;

  void Awake() {
    counter++;
    Debug.Log("This has run " + counter " + times");
  }
}

This will count up every time Awake runs

In this case, only Foo is allowed to see counter. If counter was public, then anyone could access it with Foo.counter.

[mild onyx]

i was going to use the y-axis number from my movement script for a platform in my game, like if Y > Y_of_platform dont allow pass through

guess ill have to check the characters coordinates in the platforms script

[swift crag]

If you need to be able to read a field from another object, you need to get a reference to it.

https://unity.huh.how/references

see the "Serialized references" section

[peak ether]

i need a push in the right direction, i understand c# well enough to get into trouble, heres what im trying to do, i have a "character" which at the moment is just a 2d square with collider, i want to click and hold then drag then release to launch the character in the opposite direction where force is how far back you moved your mouse, bonus points if someone can show me how to put a movement limit on the mouse so there isnt "infinite" force

exactly what i was looking for ty

[outer wigeon]

Does anyone know how to enable text wrapping in an editor script for a TextArea? Is this even possible?

My reorderableList.drawElementCallback is kind of messy but I can provide it if necessary. The offending line is this one, I believe:

element.dialogueText = EditorGUI.TextArea(new Rect(rect.x, rect.y, rect.width, EditorGUIUtility.singleLineHeight * 3), element.dialogueText);

Or maybe something other than a TextArea would be better?

[slender nymph]

#↕️┃editor-extensions
but also, just pass it a GUIStyle that has your preferred style settings assigned

[outer wigeon]

Oh dang I didn't see that channel, thanks. It looks like .wordWrap might be it! Appreciated. *Very easy: EditorStyles.textField.wordWrap = true;

[fading seal]

when the player interacts with the crate it is supposed to make a sound but it dosent here is the code and inspector ```cs
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;

public class crateMoveScript : MonoBehaviour
{
public GameObject crate, crateText;
public AudioSource pickup;

void OnTriggerStay(Collider other){
    if(other.CompareTag("MainCamera")){
        crateText.SetActive(true);
        if(Input.GetKey(KeyCode.E)){
            crateText.SetActive(false);
            crate.SetActive(false);
            pickup.Play();
        }
    }
}
void OnTriggerExit(Collider other){
    if(other.CompareTag("MainCamera")){
        crateText.SetActive(false);
    }```

[slender nymph]

is the camera colliding with that object?

[fading seal]

i can still interact with the object its just the sound not playing when i interact with it

[slender nymph]

ah, then that is likely due to you disabling the object that the AudioSource component is attached to

[fading seal]

ohh wait i didnt think about that lol

so ill make an empty game object with the sound that dosent get disabled?

[slender bridge]

Use an audio manager and pass the clip to it or deal with it all in the audio manager class

[fading seal]

ok

[slender nymph]

or just separate the audiosource from the part that gets disabled. or use the AudioSource.PlayClipAtPoint method

honestly though, the way you are handling interactions isn't exactly ideal in the first place anyway

[fading seal]

it worked ty

[fading seal]

yeah i know this is my first game

[gusty lotus]

I'm procedurally generating walls for a maze, and I'm trying to put materials on them but I don't know how to fix the stretched look of the wall materials

[wintry quarry]

procedurally generate UVs as well

or use a triplanar shader

or set the texture scale procedurally

[gusty lotus]

how would I do this when I instansiate the prefab

[wintry quarry]

what prefab are you instantiating

if it's a prefab, just set it up properly in the first place

[gusty lotus]

I have a wall prefab and I scale it to create the walls

it has a material on it

and when I scale the wall prefab the material looks stretched

[wintry quarry]

then as mentioned, set the texture scale on the Renderer's material at the same time

[gusty lotus]

okay thank you ill try that

[remote osprey]

What's the best way to add a Singleton to the project?

I created a property and an Empty GameObject with my singleton script and added it in the Inspector, but I'm not sure if there's a better way to do it

Didn't want to implement a threadsafe Singleton in C# so I had to go with Monobehaviour

[slender nymph]

if it is a MonoBehaviour then it has to be attached to a gameobject in some scene in order to actually be set up correctly

though you could theoretically lazy load it if you don't need to configure anything in the inspector. This is what I did for a singleton implementation, I just null check the backing field for my Instance property, spawn a new gameobject then add the component
https://github.com/boxfriend/Utils/blob/master/com.boxfriend.utils/Runtime/Utils/SingletonBehaviour.cs#L14

[remote osprey]

Tbh, I might not be on the level enough to understand this 😅

MAybe I should stick to keeping things in GameObjects

[slender nymph]

there's nothing really special or advanced happening here, it's just a property with an explicit backing field, it checks if that backing field is null when accessing the getter for the property, if the backing field is null is just creates a new gameobject using its constructor, then calls AddComponent. the only "high level" thing going on in the code i linked is that it is a generic class that I use for multiple singletons to inherit from. but if you just replace T in that code with the name of your class that you've turned into a singleton then it may make more sense to you

[remote osprey]

Oh, I see

I didn't know you could create game objects

[slender nymph]

yeah, new GameObject() just creates a new empty gameobject in the currently active scene

[remote osprey]

So I could just, maybe, copy your Singleton pattern and extend it into my Singleton classes? 👀

[slender nymph]

you could just copy that entire class and drop it into your project. then just inherit from SingletonBehaviour<YourClassType> instead of MonoBehaviour and you'll be good to go. however it's currently set up to only call DontDestroyOnLoad on it if you create it in the inspector and specifically assign true to that field

[remote osprey]

Cool feature!

Thanks for the help, pal!

[eager wolf]

this code is meant to load a scene, and then run a script in that scene called "MazeFloorManager"
But problem is that when i use this bit of script, it doesn't run the first time, but only the second time. What happens is that the first time it runs, the scene is loaded, and the second time, the next part of the script runs. I tried rmoving the "async" load but it doesn't change anything.

How can I load the scene and then immediately start using it?

[primal aurora]

is the object destroyed where the script is attached when the scene loads

if thats the case then add this to awake: DontDestroyOnLoad(this);

[summer stump]

That second if is always going to be false when run the first time.
Scenes can't load that fast

[flint python]

Hello, when assign the option to dropdown in Start(), how can i change the label text? So, the text of that option is long, when that option is selected, I want to display a shorter text instead, not the entire string of that option. Thanks.

[eager wolf]

how would you do this, then?

[summer stump]

I would make a coroutine that waits until the scene is loaded, or put an object with a script in the second scene and handle it from that Awake()

[eager wolf]

thanks!

[remote osprey]

Should I leave my UI scripts as a canvas component?

Is there a rule for this kind of things?

I put mine inside a collider that is a child object of my canvas

[rich adder]

change the Overflow mode on the Label textmeshpro, if I understood your question correctly

[rich adder]

why is a collider child of a canvas 🤔

[remote osprey]

Why wouldn't it be? 🤔

I need to do UI operations on it so I put a collider to detect clicks

[rich adder]

colliders don't belong in canvases or UI

[remote osprey]

That was my reasoning lol

[summer stump]

You do not need a collider to detect clicks

[rich adder]

bad

[summer stump]

And ui should not have colliders

[rich adder]

collider is for physics, UI should not have physics

[remote osprey]

I'm not sure if I'm the worst Unity coder that's ever existed cause I keep making dumb stuff like this 🤣

[rich adder]

EventSystem is how you want to detect UI

inspector only solution they have EventTrigger, in code you can use the interface or the raycast from the event system itself

[remote osprey]

Interesting

[rich adder]

https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.ugui@1.0/api/UnityEngine.EventSystems.IPointerClickHandler.html
this is the code version

[remote osprey]

I'll see to it once I unbreak my code 😃 👍

[remote osprey]

I think I have that implemented already

[rich adder]

well then why are you using colliders on ui 😆

[remote osprey]

Can I drag UI with this as well?

[remote osprey]

I was using raycast to detect collisions

So I could drag my cards around

[rich adder]

look on the left

[remote osprey]

Not sure if it's needed tho 😆

[rich adder]

https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.ugui@1.0/api/UnityEngine.EventSystems.IDragHandler.html

the example goes hard on this one but you get the point lol

better more than less

[remote osprey]

Cool!

So I should just add the scripts directly to the Canvas then

[rich adder]

some scripts need to go on the UI element itself unfortunately for these to work

im not a fan of stuffing scripts in UI, ofc if its a runtime created UI element you have no choice also

[remote osprey]

I'm so scared of my entire code breaking after I make these changes 😆

Oh well

It's 10:00 PM

That's a problem for future me

[rich adder]

maybe practice on a separate smaller test project

before you convert, so you familiarize how it actually is working

[remote osprey]

Will do!

Thanks for the help!

[iron wing]

what's going on with my UI when I change the colour? It's just a new image inside a canvas.

[rich adder]

this is a code channel

[summer stump]

Were you gonna.... say what you need help with?

Usually words are best, but ok

It depends on how you move, but you could do a second raycase angled forward, and check the dot product of the normal of the surface against Vector3.Up. if it is under a threashold, you can move up it, because the slope is gentle enough.
If over the threshold, just don't even allow movement in that direction

[lusty fern]

for a 2d game should i use 2d render pipeline or 2d universal

trying to make a game in 2 weeks with no coding experience

[elder raptor]

Something weird is happening, as you can see in the inspector, the value is 0
But when I debug the same variable, it debugs 1, any idea why?

nameText.text = "Qty x" + (UpgradesManager.Instance.largeTrucksOwned).ToString(); Debug.Log("Large " + UpgradesManager.Instance.largeTrucksOwned);

[elder raptor]

2D URP is better graphically and if I am right, performance-wise too.

[lusty fern]

alr ty

[wintry quarry]

Two different instances most likely

[elder raptor]

Ahhh

I think I figured it out FacePalm You were right, I did +1 to the other instance

I'm dumb

[wintry quarry]

Since it's a Singleton isn't it really bad for you to have two copies?

Something is wrong

[elder raptor]

Yeah, I just added this too

if (Instance == null) { Instance = this; } else { Destroy(gameObject); }

I was testing something and forgot to delete that line 😭

[wintry quarry]

Ah, your Singleton implementation was not correct 👌

[elder raptor]

It was an issue that was happening when I was resetting everything, it was creating another instance.

Yeahh, I added it but commented it xD Forgot to uncomment it

[violet glacier]

How do you rotate a canvas ui image gameobject with recttransform? I'm currently in 2d

do I use .rotate or .localrotation or .rotation?

in these pictures, neither of the Z rotate is 90

[wintry quarry]

I think you're getting confused between euler angles and Quaternions

Your logs are printing the Quaternion

[cinder mason]

using unitys new input system, through code, how would i detect each scroll up or down, all i can find is how to get whether your currently scrolling up or down, but i want when you scroll one scroll wheel increment if that makes sense??

[languid spire]

not tested but...
If you create an InputAction for the scroll wheel and subscribe to the performed delegate it should give you a callback on each change

[faint lark]

hey guys im trying to send some parameters through a string with animations but i get wrong format.

        for (int i = 0; i < _val.Length; i++) {
            print(_val[i]);
        }
        float _damage = float.Parse(_val[(int)AttackParameter.Damage]);
        float _knockback = float.Parse(_val[(int)AttackParameter.Knockback]);

specifically on _damage = and _knockback =

it prints the correct values

the values that i input are 1.0_1.0 etc.

[rich adder]

do you know what float.parse does ?

[faint lark]

not exactly

i assume turning a string into a float

so "1.0" wuld be a float of 1

[languid spire]

depending on your computer language/region setup you may need to use the Invarient culture for the parse

[faint lark]

im not aware of that

what is invarient culture

[rich adder]

ok so string only contains "1.0" yea?

[faint lark]

yes

1.0_1.0

and such

[languid spire]

well say your computer is set to Spanish.
Spanish uses , as the decimal seperator so 1.0 is invalid but 1,0 is correct.
InvarientCulture uses the US standard so 1.0 will always be correct on any computer

[faint lark]

but yes, after separation just 1.0

i see

how do i use this invarient culture?

[languid spire]

it is a parameter you can pass to float.Parse

[faint lark]

i cant see it

there are other parameters

[languid spire]

go read the docs

[rich adder]

wouldn't it still print instead of invalid format?

it would be just be 10 no?

[faint lark]

is numberstyles.none the US one?

[languid spire]

no. TryParse would return false. parse, iirc, returns NAN

[distant relic]

im working on a unity 3d game to run on google cardboard. when I run the game on my pc it works fine, but when i build and run on my phone the camera/player are in a different position

how can i fix this?

[rich adder]

this seems more of an #🥽┃virtual-reality question

[distant relic]

sorryy

[languid spire]

what is your local culture. Is comma used as a thousands seperator?

[rich adder]

im in US.
but wouldn't it be whatever is being used on dotnet fiddle ?

https://dotnetfiddle.net/rPVxPl

[languid spire]

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/standard/base-types/parsing-numeric

[faint lark]

i figured it out

[rich adder]

would also try to be sure the values passed were even correct

var dmgVal = _val[(int)AttackParameter.Damage];
var knockVal = _val[(int)AttackParameter.Knockback];
Debug.Log($"dmg val: {dmgVal} knock val: {knockVal}");
float _damage = float.Parse(dmgVal);
float _knockback = float.Parse(knockVal);```

[faint lark]

i had to use system.globalisation

then it gave me the variables

also i used some wrong values 1.0f_1.0f

but i fixed it now and it works correctly

[rich adder]

you had f inside?

[elder raptor]

This code snippets works flawlessly on PC Build and WebGL Build but it causes the object to spasm out as if it got fits instead of clean rotation on mobile and this only happens when the object has to rotate, after the turning part is done and the object has to go straight, it goes normally:

Quaternion targetRotation = Quaternion.LookRotation(direction);
transform.rotation = Quaternion.Slerp(transform.rotation, targetRotation, rotationSpeed * Time.deltaTime);

Maybe Due to Frame Rate differences or?

[rich adder]

https://unity.huh.how/lerp/wrong-lerp check this

[raw token]

Seems fine enough... apart from lerping from the present value to the destination, which means that the interpolation will slow as it approaches the end value and will only approach the it as a limit rather than ever reaching it.

Framerate differences could see it visually leaping in rotation, but it shouldn't flip back and forth or anything.

If it's spasming out though, maybe your input value direction is changing erratically?

[elder raptor]

Oh, so basically using a smoothening value?

[elder raptor]

I don't think the direction value changes erratically as it does work on PC Build and WebGL But let me check just to be sure

[rich adder]

oh the time.deltaTime.
would change it to similiar to example like

fraction = 0.3;
value = Mathf.Lerp(value, target, 1 - Mathf.Pow(fraction, Time.deltaTime * 10));```

just the t part is relevant

[elder raptor]

This is what I did

float smoothingFactor = 0.1f;
Quaternion targetRotation = Quaternion.LookRotation(direction);
transform.rotation = Quaternion.Slerp(transform.rotation, targetRotation, 1 - Mathf.Pow(smoothingFactor, Time.deltaTime));

Okay it's working normally on Editor, lemme make a Mobile Build and check

[rich adder]

idk if that will fix your "spasm out" part, just fixes imprecision through diff framerates w lerp

[elder raptor]

Nope, didn't work. I guess it's not an issue with the rotation

Mute and watch, the music might be loud 😭

But yeah, this is happening. I think it's probably something to do with the waypoints breaking or something as it does continue on the path after doing that for a few seconds.

[rich adder]

maybe a video would help also

oh

[elder raptor]

Weird that it only happens on Mobile

[elder raptor]

xD

[rich adder]

are you making it follow points or something ?

[elder raptor]

Yeahh

[rich adder]

can prob post the code to get better idea of what is going on

[elder raptor]

Okayyy

https://hastebin.com/share/wemesawupo.csharp

It's a mess as I had less than a day to make this whole game 😭

[rich adder]

those coroutines scare me a bit 😮

you might have conflicting runs going on

[elder raptor]

It was either that or update xD And I am scared of using Update

[rich adder]

coroutines are fine, but ideally you want to store them in vars to have more control of how many you run

or maybe stopping

[elder raptor]

I did ensure a check using the "outForDuty" boolean to check. And if there are no trucs to send out, it will just wait for 4 seconds again

[elder raptor]

Ahh

So on mobile they don't run on different threads?

[rich adder]

I'm trying to look for bools but indeed you got a lot going on lol

[elder raptor]

I do have a lot of coroutines

[raw token]

Coroutines are always on the main thread

[elder raptor]

Ohhh

[rich adder]

yeah they aren't true async/multithread

[elder raptor]

Ohh damn

 tr.gameObject.SetActive(true);
    tr.StartTrip();
    tr.outForDuty = true;
    idleTrucks.Remove(tr);
    trucksOutForDuty.Add(tr);

This is what I do when I send a truck out for a trip

And I have a separate list for Idle Trucks

Lemme just change the order and see

[raw token]

Do you know what the framerate on the mobile build is, out of curiosity?

[elder raptor]

Well, I use BlueStacks Simulator

Let's see if I can see the FPS there.
I did test on my sis' phone and it had the issue, that's when I started trying to fix it using Bluestacks

[teal viper]

It doesn't look like a performance issue to me

[elder raptor]

Yeah it isn't I capped FPS to 20 and it worked on PC

It's running on 59-60 on Bluestacks

I'll install Lunar Mobile Console and check logs ig

The direction is not changing rapidly

It's weird that it's happening, cuz nothing seems wrong 😭

[elder raptor]

It happens on PC too now, I just noticed although it's very very rare Hmmmm

[raw token]

If that speed of 5.0f is accurate, at <50 fps, the truck could overshoot it's destination each frame and get stuck in a correction loop for a bit (but probably not indefinitely)... It would also exhibit at higher fps if the truck's y position differs from that of a waypoints', and if they ever differ by more than the 0.1 unit threshold the truck may never be able to reach the waypoint... But it doesn't sound like any of that is the source of the problem at hand :/

My only other thought is that it might somehow be trying to position itself towards two waypoints at once, like if two coroutines were competing... I don't see where that could be happening in the code, though. But in the video it sort of looks to me like the truck reaches it's first waypoint, and then the jittering begins as it turns towards it's next waypoint...

[elder raptor]

OHH

You might be right

Also is this odd for rotation?

I played the game frame by frame and notices the rotation value goes wild randomly

[languid spire]

Are you looking a Quaternion values or Euler values?

[elder raptor]

The W in this, unsure what it is

[languid spire]

That is a Quaternion. the values are basically meaningless to most humans

[elder raptor]

Makes sense 😭

I'm making a game in Unity and there are vendors in my game and when I click on these vendors, the UI panel opens. This ui panel raycast target option is active but can still click on the seller behind it. With some sellers it doesn't click as I would like, but with others it does. How can I solve this problem?

[languid spire]

that looks like a problem with your Direction calculation. Are you reading and acting on Euler angles?

[cyan folio]

He still won't move

[elder raptor]

Only this

float smoothingFactor = 0.1f;
Quaternion targetRotation = Quaternion.LookRotation(direction);
transform.rotation = Quaternion.Slerp(transform.rotation, targetRotation, 1 - Mathf.Pow(smoothingFactor, Time.deltaTime));

for rotation and then this for snapping them to right rotation when they stop:

if (transform.forward.z > 0.0f)
{
    transform.rotation = Quaternion.Euler(0, 0, 0);
}
else
{
    transform.rotation = Quaternion.Euler(0, 180, 0);
}

[languid spire]

that does not show me how you calculate Direction

[elder raptor]

Hmm, maybe something wrong with RigidBody setup? Idk

[elder raptor]

OH RIGHT
Vector3 direction = (targetPosition - transform.position).normalized;

[cyan folio]

My character doesn't have a RigidBody.

[languid spire]

what, exactly is this Debug showing?

[elder raptor]

The Direction Vector and the Current Targetting Waypoint from the code snippet that handles the position and rotation:

Vector3 direction = (targetPosition - transform.position).normalized;
Debug.Log("Direction: " + direction + " And Waypoint: " + waypoint);
transform.position += direction * speed * Time.deltaTime;

float smoothingFactor = 0.1f;
Quaternion targetRotation = Quaternion.LookRotation(direction);
transform.rotation = Quaternion.Slerp(transform.rotation, targetRotation, 1 - Mathf.Pow(smoothingFactor, Time.deltaTime));

[languid spire]

That would tend to suggest that either targetPosition and/or transform.position are doing something odd, add both to the debug

[elder raptor]

There's no change in the targetPosition or the transform.position, only the Direction Vector.

[raw token]

I think that looks like the shooting and overcorrecting - it's ending up more than 0.1 units away from targetPosition each frame. You might clamp the change in position to the distance to targetPosition

[languid spire]

Indeed. remove the .nomalize from direction. it's not needed anyway

[raw token]

Or that - that's better 😁

[elder raptor]

That didn't work, it made it worse 😭

[languid spire]

show the console

[elder raptor]

Wrong video wait

[glossy turtle]

i think yu didnt assigned anything in the animator.

[elder raptor]

This is what's happening when I remove .normalized

[languid spire]

I have no idea what is going on there but those direction vectors make no sense based on the positions used

[elder raptor]

Yeah, it's weird. This issue randomly started, didn't have it before

[cyan folio]

What should I assign to the animator?

[languid spire]

the only thing it can be is this

transform.rotation = Quaternion.Slerp(transform.rotation, targetRotation, 1 - Mathf.Pow(smoothingFactor, Time.deltaTime));

it must be overcompensating

[raw token]

How about

        Vector3 targetPosition = new Vector3(waypoint.position.x, transform.position.y, waypoint.position.z);
        float distance;
        while ((distance = Vector3.Distance(transform.position, targetPosition)) > 0.1f)
        {
            Vector3 direction = (targetPosition - transform.position).normalized;
            transform.position += Vector3.ClampMagnitude(direction * speed * Time.deltaTime, distance);

            float smoothingFactor = 0.1f;
            Quaternion targetRotation = Quaternion.LookRotation(direction);
            transform.rotation = Quaternion.Slerp(transform.rotation, targetRotation, 1 - Mathf.Pow(smoothingFactor, Time.deltaTime));

            yield return null;
        }

[elder raptor]

I added this after reporting the issue 😓

[elder raptor]

Let me try

[glossy turtle]

there is an animator window. you have to add speed which you mentioned.

[elder raptor]

Wait this worked

It didn't happen

Let me make a mobile build and check

[glossy turtle]

instead of two translates put one.

[cyan folio]

I tried altering the speed in Conditions and hes still stuck.

[glossy turtle]

moveDirection = new Vector3(horizontal, 0, vertical).normalized;

    transform.Translate(moveDirection * Time.deltaTime * speed, Space.World);

first of all you are checking vector3.zero and you are using ! so how you are altering speed.

[elder raptor]

Thank you so much! It worked on mobile too. So I just needed to add a clamp

Thank you too Steve!

[cyan folio]

I have an ! in here: "if (moveDirection != Vector3.zero)"

Also, altering speed where? In VS? in unity? In Gameplay?

[raw token]

I don't know why the truck was overshooting it's position at those framerates 🤷

But I'm happy it works 🍻 🥳

[elder raptor]

Yeahh, Unity engine do be weird.

[glossy turtle]

ok i didnt checked that. there is problem in your animator window.

[languid spire]

np, that is extremely odd behaviour, I'm still trying to figure out why

[raw token]

@elder raptor is speed set to to something other than 5.0 in the component inspector, out of curiosity?

[elder raptor]

Yeahh it is, been stuck on this one blocker for almost 2 hours pain

[cyan folio]

What do I do in there?

[elder raptor]

Yeah, it's double

10

[glossy turtle]

add a float variable with name Speed.

[cyan folio]

What number should I put in it? Its currently set to 0

[raw token]

ah that'd be it... At 60 fps the truck would move ~.167 units per frame, so it'd have a hard time hitting that 0.1 units to targetPosition threshold 👍

Edit: though on second thought, 0.1 would be radius... It'd have to get within a 0.2 unit circle... so I still dunno 😕

``` theres no reason that this shouldnt move my camera up and down, i have the camera attached in unity, its only one button

[elder raptor]

Ohh this is weird. Never knew that actually mattered

[glossy turtle]

leave it zero because you are changing it in code.

[elder raptor]

Is the camera a child of a object or?

[topaz fractal]

its the child of my player object

[cyan folio]

He still won't go anywhere? Do I change the conditions or code?

[elder raptor]

Weird, lemme try

[topaz fractal]

thanks man

@elder raptor any luck

[elder raptor]

Yeah give me a min

[elder raptor]

Don't use two cameraprop.localRotations for each rotation, use this instead:

cameraProp.localRotation = Quaternion.Euler(-look.y, look.x, 0);

And if you saw, you did transform.localrotation for the second one xD So that might've been an issue too.

[topaz fractal]

what should i have put instead?

[elder raptor]

And if you're attaching the script to the camera itself, you can do Camera.main or just do cameraProp = this;

[elder raptor]

Delete those two lines and use this:

cameraProp.localRotation = Quaternion.Euler(-look.y, look.x, 0);

void Update()
    {
        look.x += Input.GetAxis("Mouse X") * sensitivity * Time.deltaTime;
        look.y += Input.GetAxis("Mouse Y") * sensitivity * Time.deltaTime;

        cameraProp.localRotation = Quaternion.Euler(-look.y, look.x, 0);
    }

This will be your update then.

[topaz fractal]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HHzQMYxtmU4&t=178s

this video confused me

watch it real quick @elder raptor

[glossy turtle]

conditions.

[elder raptor]

Ah that's because he attached the script to the player

He was rotating the player sideways instead of only the camera

And only the camera for Vertical Moving

[cyan folio]

Changed the conditions and he's still stuck.

[topaz fractal]

aha there we go

[elder raptor]

That's better if you're making a First Person Controller.

So use the code you wrote and attach it to the Player Object instead of the Camera and then attach the camera reference to it.

[topaz fractal]

that was my mistake

yeah ive done that

[elder raptor]

Okay good good

[topaz fractal]

wonder how i missed it

thanks man

[elder raptor]

No problem

[regal basalt]

Good morning, i am using couple scripts for player movement and for the player camera, but they don't actually work. Is there a way to solve it?

Also the player movement's "rigidbody" flies away towards Z axis

[languid spire]

make them work ?

[elder raptor]

It's a humanoid character right? If so, try using Character Controller to define Player Movement, it's way easier and less complex.

Character controller tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f473C43s8nE

[elder raptor]

Or just watch this tutorial.

xD

[regal basalt]

Basically, the player doesn't respond to commands, even after setting up the keys

[elder raptor]

Did you attach the script to a gameobject?

[regal basalt]

yes

[elder raptor]

And sharing your code(s) would help

[regal basalt]

the movement has a gameobject with the script and rigidbody

[languid spire]

do you think we are mind readers? Supply some usable information, like your !code

And always use proper debugs to figure out the issue first. ||I know I don't do that all the time but it is worth following xD||

In your case, you can add debugs to the Input.GetKey/GetKeyDown statements to see if the key clicks get register. If they do, then you can see if the movement functions get properly called, etc.

        float moveX = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal");
        float moveZ = Input.GetAxis("Vertical");

        Vector3 moveDirection = transform.right * moveX + transform.forward * moveZ;
        rb.MovePosition(rb.position + moveDirection * moveSpeed * Time.fixedDeltaTime);
    }
}

[elder raptor]

And can you also show the Rigidbody settings?

Also, the firs thing to try is to increase movespeed all the time, sometimes it does move but like one pixel per frame

[elder raptor]

Can you show this in Inspector?

[regal basalt]

    //like this?
void Update()
    {
        // Capture input in Update
        moveX = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal");
        moveZ = Input.GetAxis("Vertical");
        mouseX = Input.GetAxis("Mouse X") * mouseSensitivity;
        mouseY = Input.GetAxis("Mouse Y") * mouseSensitivity;

        // Rotate camera in Update for smoothness
        LookAround();
    }

    void FixedUpdate()
    {
        // Consume input in FixedUpdate
        Move();
    }

[cyan folio]

@glossy turtle Are you still here?

[regal basalt]

sure

[elder raptor]

I meant in Hierarchy 😭 My bad

[fickle plume]

Create a thread if you want continuous discussion with them. Don't ping people repeatedly.

[cobalt sentinel]

How can i do when it isn't touching it, the variables become true again?

sorry if my english is bad

[languid spire]

OnCollisionExit2D

[cobalt sentinel]

thanks

[regal basalt]

and then i created a gameobject in "player movement" for the camera

the input is all set as well

[elder raptor]

Try assigning the script the the Parent Player Object instead of the child

[regal basalt]

the movement?

[elder raptor]

Yeah the movement script

[regal basalt]

alrght

will i need to set a rigidbody in the parent?

[elder raptor]

Yes

Remove it from the child, I usually make an Empty Game Object called Player that has the collider and rigidbody and Player mOvement script then make the Player Model the child of it.

[regal basalt]

i just did it

[regal basalt]

so, the movement is fixed and working, but now i will need the camera to be in the right position

    //For the camera i'm using this script
public class CameraController : MonoBehaviour {

    public float mouseSensitivity = 2f;
    public Transform playerBody;

    private float verticalLookRotation = 0f;

    void Start()
    {
        Cursor.lockState = CursorLockMode.Locked;
    }

    void Update()
    {
        LookAround();
    }

    void LookAround()
    {
        float mouseX = Input.GetAxis("Mouse X") * mouseSensitivity;
        float mouseY = Input.GetAxis("Mouse Y") * mouseSensitivity;

        playerBody.Rotate(Vector3.up * mouseX);

        verticalLookRotation -= mouseY;
        verticalLookRotation = Mathf.Clamp(verticalLookRotation, -90f, 90f);

        transform.localEulerAngles = Vector3.right * verticalLookRotation;
    }
}

[tight laurel]

Ive heard it can be a good idea to go read someone elses code for a game, is there a game that is easy to understand of which you would suggest to check out if someone wanted to see how the coding is actually put into effect? Ive considered Hollow Knight but i dont know how to access its code

[regal basalt]

@elder raptor thanks for the help, i'm going to keep up with the animations

[final kestrel]

   private ItemDatabaseObject database;

   private void OnEnable()
   {
#if UNITY_EDITOR
       database = (ItemDatabaseObject)AssetDatabase.LoadAssetAtPath("Assets/Resources/Database.asset)",
           typeof(ItemDatabaseObject));
       Debug.Log(database);
#else
       database = Resources.Load<ItemDatabaseObject>("Database");
#endif
   }

the database returns null. Why is that?

[warm garden]

You have a parenthesis ) in your file string

[elder raptor]

It worked right?

[final kestrel]

Oh my god. Thanks

[regal basalt]

it does

[elder raptor]

Yeah that's easy, just make it a child of the Parent Object and position it on the head and rotate it accordingly

[regal basalt]

but now i want to change between the main camera and the player camera, is there an easy way to do it?

[elder raptor]

Just enable the camera you want to see through and disable the camera you don't want to see through

ex

camera1.setActive("false");
camera2.setActive("true")';

Even better, if you can get reference of the camera as a Camera data type, you can just do .enabled = true/false.

public Camera camera1;
public Camera camera2;

void Switchcams()
{
camera1.enabled = false;
camera2.enabled = true;
}

[regal basalt]

i get the code, but i don't know where should i get it

for example, do i create a script for the cameras and put it in both cameras?

[elder raptor]

Make a script called CameraManager with a function to switch the cameras

[regal basalt]

like "switch cameras"

[regal basalt]

alright

[elder raptor]

And attach it to an Empty Game Object named Managers or Camera Manager or something

Technically you can do it in your Camera Controller script but it's not neat xD

[regal basalt]

"if it works don't touch it"

i did that code 4x before it even work

[regal basalt]

going to do it

[elder raptor]

Yeah but you might encounter issues in the future

[languid spire]

A better philosophy would be 'If you don't understand it, don't do it'

[regal basalt]

probably

[elder raptor]

Good Job

[regal basalt]

why are you so negative?

[elder raptor]

He's a seasoned Coder, so he knows the negative sides of following shortcuts xD

It's obviously best not to have messy code and use AI generated snippets that you don't understand.

[regal basalt]

makes sence

[regal basalt]

it depends

i organize my code
