ah, good

otherwise that would imply the animator controller asset got into a bad state

[tired junco]

Hey i'm currently trying to create 3D car physics. I followed along this tutorial (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CdPYlj5uZeI) and i think i understood mostly everything so far. But this tutorial only focuses on cars that have 4 wheels that are evenly distanced from the center of mass of a rigidbody and a spring force is applied. My Question is how would you manage to adjust it so that the spring force works with a car whichs wheels arent evenly distanced from the center of mass of the rigidbody? Would you define a variable ("influnece") and define it by the distance of the wheels from the center of mass and then multiply it with the force? (how would you do this?)

[night raptor]

I don't see a reason to adjust the spring force based on any center of mass calculations. In real life too the springs on the side of more mass would get more contracted and therefore give enough force to support the mass of the car

[tired junco]

so probably i should rather find matching values for the springs strength then doing it by defining an influence right?

[rough orbit]

I'm too green to understand what's wrong here, if anyone can help

[summer stump]

You have OnTrigger inside OnCollision
Also a missing curly brace (not semicolon, sorry about that). It should be added between those methods, which will solve the first issue too

[night raptor]

Exactly. If you happen to need tougher springs on one side of the car, you should just increase the spring strength on that side. That's what you do in real life too if the springs are not strong enough to hold the weight. I assume you have a fixed car model that you have to fine tune the wheels for and not something like a car building game where anything can be built?

[tired junco]

That makes sense (quite interesting actually). And yes i have a fixed car model. thanks a lot

[night raptor]

np. I'm actually working on my own wheel collider code now so if you need any further help or have any questions regarding wheel physics, I might be able to help

[river quiver]

this is what happens when i try to make an animation to an object, why?
this is the code to creating animation:

{
    GameObject mainCamera = GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag("MainCamera");
    AnimationClip clip = new AnimationClip();
    Animation animation = mainCamera.GetComponent<Animation>();
    AnimationCurve curve = AnimationCurve.Linear(0.0f, mainCamera.transform.position.x, 0.5f, mainCamera.transform.position.x + 21);

    clip.SetCurve("", typeof(Transform), "position.x", curve);
    clip.name = "CameraMoveRight";
    clip.legacy = true;

    animation.clip = clip;
    animation.AddClip(clip, clip.name);

    AssetDatabase.CreateAsset(clip, "Assets/" + clip.name + ".anim");
    animation.Play();

    leftArrow.SetActive```

[umbral rock]

im following a tutorial on fps camera movement and came across this line of code, i dont really understand what he is doing here, i thought a vector3 always needed an x value an y value and a z value, but he doesnt do that here?

[summer stump]

Camera mainCamera = Camera.main
Try the standard way of getting the camera reference

[river quiver]

okay

[river quiver]

cause he only moves on the z and x axis i think

[umbral rock]

yes, but dont u need to declare the y value as 0?

or if u dont fill it in it will set the y to 0?

[summer stump]

Both transform.right and .forward have x y and z values

[river quiver]

probably not idk tho for sure

[modest dust]

transform.right is a Vector3 being multiplied by x, transform.forward is a Vector3 being multiplied by z. Then you just add up two vector3s.

[umbral rock]

but where is the y?

[modest dust]

y would be up/down

So jumping

[umbral rock]

yes but he doesnt do that here, u dont need to declare the y value?

[summer stump]

Both transform.right and .forward have y already
They are Vector3s

[modest dust]

Please look up Vector math, both right and forward are vectors, both already have x y z

[umbral rock]

theyr y is 0?

[river quiver]

still doesnt move. the purpose is that i want to have like a smooth transition to a different screen maybe there is another way like rigidbody or something?

[modest dust]

It depends on the gameobject rotation

[summer stump]

If their rotation is not pointing up then yeah. It depends on their rotation

[summer stump]

Does it still say missing though?

[river quiver]

yh

[umbral rock]

ooh, so in the transform.right the 'transform' is actually the component of the gameObject?

[summer stump]

Ok weird. Well I would suggest looking into cinemachine

[summer stump]

Well yeah of course. It is that objects transform.

[rich adder]

transform is a property of the a component

[umbral rock]

is it important that u understand that?

[river quiver]

ight ill watch brackeys tutorial, thanks

[summer stump]

Yes?

[summer stump]

I recommend against brackeys. (Or code monkey)

Learn.unith has a course

[river quiver]

why

[rich adder]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x6Q5sKXjZOM&list=PLX2vGYjWbI0TQpl4JdfEDNO1xK_I34y8P

[summer stump]

Because I spend too much time fixing his errors here

[umbral rock]

so transform.right has an x value of 1 or -1 and an y value of 0 and a z value of 0?

[river quiver]

its free?

[umbral rock]

if i understand it right

[rich adder]

mate its part of unity

[summer stump]

No.

[modest dust]

No, it depends on the gameobject rotation

[umbral rock]

its 1 or -1 depending on the input, if its A or D key

[river quiver]

sry mb

[summer stump]

It depends on the rotation, and it is unlikely to ever be exact like that

[umbral rock]

this is his code

[river quiver]

thanks @summer stump

[modest dust]

You're talking about x and z, not right and forward

[umbral rock]

so the right and forward will never be 0? i guess thats logical other wise the object would never move right?

[rich adder]

ofcourse is 0

whats any number x 0

[summer stump]

Those are just directions

[modest dust]

If you look at your gameobject in your scene view and select it, you can see 3 arrows (vectors) representing forward, right and up

[rich adder]

if they weren't 0 then it would constatly move without input

[modest dust]

Rotate the gameobject and they rotate with it

[rich adder]

transform.right (1,0,0) * 0 = 0

[umbral rock]

well, if u look at the code, and imagined that transform.right was 0 then multiply it by 1 bcs of the x input than that would mean it would still be 0?

[rich adder]

transform.right is not 0

x/z without input makes them 0

[umbral rock]

yes, thats what i meant ye ye

ahh ok ok

so if u wouldnt multiplay it by x and z the object would constantly move

[rich adder]

yes

[modest dust]

Yes

[umbral rock]

ahh ok, thanks for the help, i understand it now

[night raptor]

In case you are following the Brackeys tutorials as you seem to be, I just wanna let you know that what they say at part 6:56 is nonsense. There's an mistake in that tutorial which has been went unnoticed by many. Don't multiple Mouse X and Mouse Y by Time.deltaTime, they are already framerate independent unlike the other axes like Horizontal which in most cases needs to be multiplied by deltaTime

[rich adder]

indeed mouse Input is always frame-rate independent

[umbral rock]

alright, thanks for that tip!!

[remote osprey]

How come when I Instantiate a horizontal layout group, It only instantiates its rect transform and not its children?

[umbral rock]

would u guys say that understand what code does and why to use it and how things work is the most important thing when learning to code? or is it not necessary?

[remote osprey]

Yes, it is the most important thing

Because that's essentialy what you'll do everyday as a programmer

But you don't have to understand absolutely everything when you're getting started

focus on learning the basics first

[umbral rock]

im going to study how to become a ceo of an indie game studio, im gonna learn how to code, how to get art in your game and stuff, im looking forward to it thats why im already learning how to code 🙂 trying to understand the code im writing is hard but as u said, its essential...

[languid spire]

it is absolutely essential. Programming is an exact art, there is no room for doubt or guess work

[umbral rock]

yep, got ya!

so if i come against something and i know what it does but idk why he does it in the tutorial its necessary to figure it out?

[languid spire]

you do have to understand absolutely every line of code you write

[remote osprey]

That's true

But I mean is, don't try to understand how the computer creates a "random" number

Not at the beginning, at least

[umbral rock]

yeah, dont go in too deep u mean

[remote osprey]

Yes

[umbral rock]

just learn what it does and why to use it

[remote osprey]

Pretty much

Know that it "works" and you can delve deeper later if you want

[umbral rock]

but, lets say u understand what the line of code does in the tutorial but u dont know why u need to write it, is it necessary to research why then?

[remote osprey]

Yep

[languid spire]

Fair, why, how and when are important. How it works can come later

[remote osprey]

You need to understand what the tutorial is trying to teach you

[umbral rock]

ait

[remote osprey]

What I recommend is

[umbral rock]

so understand what the code does and why u use it

[remote osprey]

Go slowly

And break the code you see online into chunks

So if you see a tutorial that creates a spaceship, makes it move with directional inputs and shoot lasers with the key 'z'

[umbral rock]

i'v already made flappybird myself without tutorial, so thats big for me, im 20 days into unity tho... so idk if thats a big thing that i can already create flappybird xD

[cosmic dagger]

You need to understand how to create a random number, what to write/access, and why (you need it). I doubt anyone is saying you need to know how the engine produces said random number . . .

[remote osprey]

I'd recommend you break the code down like this:

1. creating the spaceship and giving it a sprite
2. how to get user input (when they press "z")
3. how to move the spaceship
4. how to create the laser and add collision behaviour to it

Write those down in different modules/classes and play with each of them until you understand each behaviour individually

Then you compose them and write your game

[remote osprey]

That's good

It's your first game, congratulations! 👏👏

[cosmic dagger]

As long as you understand each line of your code, you're fine. You should be able to go through your script and know what it does. It greatly helps with debugging and recreating similar code . . .

[umbral rock]

thanks mate 🙂

[remote osprey]

Anyway, anyone has any idea why?

[rocky canyon]

is the children elements contained in the prefab ur instantiating?

[remote osprey]

yes

each children is a transform and inside it is another prefab

[rocky canyon]

ur instantiating it to a canvas right?

[remote osprey]

no

I'm just using an empty object with a horizontal layout group component

[rocky canyon]

well a horizontal layout group needs to be a UI element (nested under a canvas)

if not its not gonna act right

[remote osprey]

Gotcha

Gonna have lunch and be right back at this

[hallow acorn]

hey i want to make a cannon and spawning the prefabs for the projectiles works fine but i want it to get a force applied. would it work to give the prefab a script which adds force in the awake method so the force gets applied just once per clone?

[rocky canyon]

yes thats the easiest a common way

Awake -> set velocity

[vale bronze]

I feel like 90% of beginner unity tutorials don’t do their job well. They only explain HOW to use an element of code and only how to use it in one very specific scenario. Imo, more tutorials need to go into the WHEN and WHY. I’ve used so many coding elements, but I have no idea why I used them or when to use it elsewhere. It would be wayyy more useful if I knew when to use the elements instead of just being taught how use it in one very specific situation.
(Alright, rant over lol)

[rocky canyon]

(normally transform.forward * speed)

[hallow acorn]

thanks that was the way i did it before but every clone gets the force multiple times that was my only problem

[rocky canyon]

tbh thats 90% of the purpose of most tutorials

they give u a concept u wasnt aware of.. its up to u to resaerch it farther

[languid spire]

you are absolutely correct, this is why reading the docs is superior to video tutorials for learning purposes

[vale bronze]

i agree, but it is that hard to just mention “you should use coroutines when you need to add a pause without freezing your game” or something like that. Most tutorials just use them without explaining why they use it

[rocky canyon]

well those doo suck.. i tend to explain why i use something -> show the implementation -> then let the view modify it (learn more on their own)

similar to here, we don't wanna be hand-holding the entire time.

[languid spire]

That is because the vast majority of tutorials are made by people who only know a very little bit more than you do

[rocky canyon]

thats not a good way to learn

[vale bronze]

Unity, in my opinion, has the best documentation ive ever seen. Not only is the documentstiom incredible, but the unity manual with code examples helped me so many times

[rocky canyon]

unity has great documentation.. not only that but most include examples (a snippet of code)

thats good enough to let u see how its commonly used

[languid spire]

It's not the best I've seen. Unfortunately it's geting very much poorer. The documentation for their packages is, frankly, bloody awful

[rocky canyon]

this i agree w/ too.. they're innovating/adding features/packages faster than they can adequately doc it

or maybe im salty lol

i feel like i was late to the party for things like the new input system for example

the docs we'rent good enoughfor my limited understanding.. until much later

[languid spire]

Actually you are being kind.
Since Unity introduced their CD/CI pipeline the docs are purely generated from comments in the code and they leave, to put it politely, a lot to be desired

[fervent abyss]

hi erm i’m getting a “Invalid scene name (empty string) and invalid build index -1“ error when trying to switch scenes. i’m doing:

SceneManager.LoadScene(SceneManager.GetSceneByName(startScene).buildIndex);

the startScene string is not empty?

the scene is added to the build settings as well

[rocky canyon]

why u using a string && an index?

[languid spire]

if it is saying startscene is empty it IS empty

[rocky canyon]

ohh nvm ur using a string to get the index

but yea its empty if the code says it is

check ur String

[spice sigil]

Does anyone know why there is an error here? My friend and I are making a game, and he tried to make this script to make a day and night cycle but there was an error

using UnityEngine;

public class DayNightCycle : MonoBehaviour
{
    [SerializeField] private float dayDuration = 120f; // Duração do ciclo completo (dia + noite) em segundos
    private float rotationSpeed;
    private Light directionalLight;

    void Start()
    {
        rotationSpeed = 360f / dayDuration; // Velocidade de rotação para completar um ciclo em 'dayDuration' segundos
        directionalLight = GetComponent<Light>();
    }

    void Update()
    {
        // Rotacionar no eixo Y
        transform.Rotate(Vector3.up, rotationSpeed * Time.deltaTime);

        // Ajuste a intensidade da luz
        float timeOfDay = Mathf.PingPong(Time.time, dayDuration) / dayDuration;
        directionalLight.intensity = Mathf.Lerp(0.1f, 1f, Mathf.Abs(Mathf.Cos(timeOfDay * Mathf.PI * 2)));
    }
}

[languid spire]

and would you care to share the error with us?

[spice sigil]

Of course I will share, wait a bit

error espected "," 27.32

[languid spire]

and line 27 is?

[spice sigil]

Yes

[languid spire]

is what

[spice sigil]

I looked but everything seems ok

I don't know what's happening

[languid spire]

wtf is line 27

[rocky canyon]

its a simple syntax error

[spice sigil]

yes lol I forgot I'll show you where it is

[spice sigil]

I also made a mistake, I confused the 1 with a 7 lol, and line 21 where this directionalLight.intensivity is

[rocky canyon]

are you looking at the right script?

theres nothing wrong with taht script

[spice sigil]

yes I am

[languid spire]

agreed

[languid spire]

screenshot the consle

[rocky canyon]

nah, ur mistaken.. if u copied a different version.. the version u pasted is correct

i literally copy and pasted it in my project.. (no errors) and functional

[spice sigil]

I managed to solve it lol, it was a scene association problem, now it's working

[rocky canyon]

thats not what solved it.. perhaps maybe the scene had a different script (or different version)

[spice sigil]

thanks for the help

[fervent abyss]

erm i forgot that i can put scene name instead of build index and it works now... 💀

(hooray)

[sharp abyss]

Anybody know how can I make my character hold the weapon with 2 arms. I thought about adding a public gameobject to a script which is on the both lower arms but didnt know what to do next. I also want to use those slots because I want to also use one handed weapons. I want to use slots too because there are another actions character does when weapon is not 2 handed

https://hatebin.com/jfngrqiyyv I have these script to move left upper , right upper and low arms but I want to be able to move lower arms only when weapon isnt 2 handed.

[wintry quarry]

this kind of thing is typically done with inverse kinematics.

[sharp abyss]

I'm trying with relative joints

[wintry quarry]

I'm not sure what "relative joints" means.

I would hihgly recommend looking into inverse kinematics

[sharp abyss]

is it a good idea?

[sharp abyss]

Its a component

[sharp abyss]

I will take a look thanks

[rocky canyon]

i agree, 2D bones + inverse kinmeatics

[sharp abyss]

character is a ragdoll btw

ohhh inverse kinematics was what I was exactly looked for

[eternal needle]

This is why I also wrote it depends how you want to move things, inverse kinematics might conflict with your ragdoll. But if the movement is desired then carry on

[sharp abyss]

I was trying to make the combat mechanic in bloody bastards game if you know but it uses 2 digital analog sticks like in controller and couldnt think of anything relevant to that

[hallow acorn]

does rb.AddForce() use the global transform? and can i change it to local?

[willow scroll]

Yes, Rigidbody.AddForce uses global space, if you want to change it to local, use Rigidbody.AddRelativeForce

[hallow acorn]

[ornate spoke]

How do I call the particle system at a game object's position? (nvm, fixed)

[sour spear]

How do i get the Vector the player's model is currently pointing in?

[languid spire]

transform.forward

[wary orchid]

Over the last two months, I learned how to program in C# using Visual Studio. While I can script, scripting in Unity 2d is different from scripting in the console. For example, I don't know how to make a catchable and throwable gun, convert my mouse position into the rotation of the hand holding the gun, or convert the gun's rotation to the bullet's direction.I would be grateful if you could find a solution or suggest what to do.Thanks, Braiy

[stoic oracle]

Hello folks,
I'm trying to make a 3D 3rd person character turn to 'catch up to' the direction they are moving. I got this code from a nice tutorial:

if (moveDirection != Vector3.zero)
    PlayerModel.forward = Vector3.Slerp(PlayerModel.forward, moveDirection.normalized, Time.deltaTime * rotationSpeed);

The character turns nicely, however, I'm having issues using this because my character ends up tilted a bit. I think this is because the character is parented to a moving platform that rocks back and forth. I've attached a picture of the tilt.

I thought this could be easy to resolve by setting the PlayerModel.up = transform.up to realign the player model with the player object itself. However, when I have both of these called nothing happens. It doesn't align the UP vectors, but it also stops the character from turning at all, like they cancel each other out.

PlayerModel.forward = ....
PlayerModel.up = ...

I am just trying to figure out a way to rotate this model object about it's y axis to match the lateral movement direction. However, I am not having luck getting that to work. Anybody know how I can do that?

[sour spear]

is there an efficient way to determine the orientation of the nearest wall in 3D space? assuming you are looking at a flat slice about the player

[slender nymph]

get its normal from a RaycastHit

[stoic oracle]

Here is an article about someone finding the closest enemy.
https://forum.unity.com/threads/clean-est-way-to-find-nearest-object-of-many-c.44315/

Once you've determined the closest, you can just reference the transform rotation I believe.

[slender nymph]

assuming you are looking at a flat slice about the player
this bit makes me think they are looking at the wall already and want to get its orientation. which would be what I suggested, raycast against it and the normal is the direction the wall faces

[sour spear]

in practice, im just tryna figure out when a wall is close enough to wall kick on it

[slender nymph]

raycast or some other physics cast. you can specify a max distance for the cast so if nothing is hit the wall is too far. if something is hit you can check if it is a wall (or just filter colliders using a layermask so only walls are detected if you want) then you can get the wall's orientation using the normal

[sour spear]

ah gotcha

so i have something like this, which returns a wall when its amply close, how do i get the orientation of the wall? assumedly hit.normal, but im not sure whether thats to the face or the racyast

[slender nymph]

the normal is the direction that the surface of the object that was hit is facing

[sour spear]

ok perfect

[desert temple]

Following my tutorial, but I've got some errors, so I'm back again looking for any possible clarification on what I might have goofed up.

[slender nymph]

configure your !IDE

[sour spear]

last question for now i promise, suppose i have a force A that the player is moving by every frame, how can i force the player to face the (x and z) direction of A

[slender nymph]

damn, seems like the bot is asleep. IDE configuration guides are in #854851968446365696

[slender nymph]

remove the Y component of the force and assign the resulting vector to the transform.forward

[sour spear]

what is the difference between doing that and something like transform.rotation = Quaternion.LookRotation(new Vector3(A.x, 0, A.z).normalized);?

[desert temple]

I, wholeheartedly, do not know what that means, and it was never told to me in my game scripting class, I think.

[slender nymph]

visual studio is not configured. which is why you do not get proper syntax highlighting nor are your errors underlined in the code.

[desert temple]

I don't really know how that works, admittedly.

[slender nymph]

as i've already said, the configuration guides are linked in #854851968446365696
it is a requirement that your IDE be configured to get help here

[errant pilot]

Guys how can i get the highest quality possible using these settings?

[desert temple]

Okay, I've got the IDE set up, I think? Anyway, I'm not really sure what to do with the errors here.

[slender nymph]

all of those errors you see are caused by a simple mistake, you must have an operator in order to perform a mathematical operation. you can't just put a number next to parentheses for multiplication like you can on a math worksheet for school, * has to be used to multiply

hello

ive got one small question

Any idea

[radiant frigate]

https://gdl.space/redoxubovo.cpp, i think im not using raycast syntax correctly how can i create a raycast return in form of an array? for what i know think im doing it exactly as the doc says

[opaque scroll]

why it doesnt work?

dont mind the debug log

[radiant frigate]

lmao

atleast its a blood particle

[opaque scroll]

yeee

but i have no idea why it doesnt work

[radiant frigate]

did you reference it?

[slender nymph]

you have several syntax issues there

[slender nymph]

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

[radiant frigate]

well more than reference it, assign it?

[inner quartz]

so... Just like this?

[radiant frigate]

you need to drag the bloodparticle into the serialize field

so it knows that the particle is indeed the one you want to play

i think

[slender nymph]

this just creates an array of empty strings because there is nothing assigned to the elements of the array. so no, that is not all you need to do

[opaque scroll]

U mean in the inspector?

[radiant frigate]

or via code, yes

[inner quartz]

how do I can make not empty strings

[radiant frigate]

could you tell me which ones?

[opaque scroll]

well it seems like

[inner quartz]

I don't know anything about arrays or dictionaries

[slender nymph]

your IDE should be underlining your syntax errors in red already

[slender nymph]

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/programming-guide/classes-and-structs/object-and-collection-initializers

[radiant frigate]

for what i think im doing pretty much the same as this

[slender nymph]

do you or do you not see red underlines in your code

[radiant frigate]

yes

in the array part

[slender nymph]

so then surely you can see that what you wrote is not valid, right?

[radiant frigate]

yes

but i dont know how to write it to be valid, and for what it seems visually i think im writting it exactly as in the doc

[slender nymph]

so create an array variable. and pass that into the Raycast call

[opaque scroll]

@radiant frigate Nvm i got it to work by using PUBLIC

and then assignet by inspector

[slender nymph]

you can't just copy the method signature and expect that to JustWork™️

[radiant frigate]

i know

[radiant frigate]

i thought it created an array variable on the moment of use

ill go try that, ty!

[slender nymph]

no, even if that was what you were supposed to be doing you aren't even doing that correctly

[radiant frigate]

i know, thats why i asked, but it seems not only am i doing it wrong, it isnt just possible

[slender nymph]

well that's just not true. the issue is just that you are doing it wrong

[radiant frigate]

so it is possible to do it that way?

[slender nymph]

it is possible to populate an array with the Physics2D.Raycast method, yes

[desert temple]

I actually missed a subtraction sign. Once I added it, it worked fine. Now it's complaining about pommeSlider not being defined or something. Not sure what's up with that.

[slender nymph]

did you read what the error says?

[desert temple]

Oh, I read it, I just don't understand it.

[slender nymph]

The type 'LightsaberBuilder' already contains a definition for 'pommelSlider'

[summer stump]

You have two things called pommelSlider.
You can only have one

[slender nymph]

as in you already have a variable with that name. you cannot create another

[summer stump]

By the naming scheme, it seems like the first was supposed to be called pommelPrefabs

[north kiln]

One can also Google errors they don't understand and other people will have explained them

[heady pagoda]

yurr i dont wanna be annoyin or shi but i got this code to push me forward when i press Q but it just doesnt push me. like at all

[slender nymph]

don't use GetKeyDown in FixedUpdate. it only returns true for the first frame the key is pressed, which is usually not a FixedUpdate frame

[summer stump]

Is that script on an object with a dynamic rigidbody?

[ivory bobcat]

It says you've already defined a variable using that name and cannot do so again

[north kiln]

Eg. https://unity.huh.how/compiler-errors/cs0102

[slender nymph]

also it looks like your !IDE is not configured

[eternal falcon]

[desert temple]

Wait, so does that mean I'd have to delete one these? Since I'm following the tutorial, and it has both.

[inner quartz]

I din't understand anything

[slender nymph]

notice how that screenshot the names are different

[summer stump]

Ah, exactly as I said, it was supposed to be pommelPrefabs
Look closely at what you wrote

[heady pagoda]

so where do i gotta put it

[summer stump]

Just... look

Look at the screenshot you just sent

[heady pagoda]

aight thx

[ivory bobcat]

You've likely misread what the tutorial has provided

[desert temple]

Oooooh, I see what I did.

[inner quartz]

what is next

[slender nymph]

next you should stop what you are doing, and go through the beginner courses pinned in this channel because creating a string property isn't at all what i suggested

[inner quartz]

okay maybe later

[slender nymph]

then you'll get help maybe later

[summer stump]

Good to take a break for sure. Just be sure to do it before attempting anything else
I have these pinned in my clipboard:
https://www.w3schools.com/cs/index.php

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

[inner quartz]

I've only slept for 3 hours and I'm sick now, it's very hard for me to do anything.

[summer stump]

Yeah, not a good state to be in when learning a new language and way of thinking.
Get better soon!

[radiant frigate]

okay i dont know what is wrong now nor how to use it https://gdl.space/kocoyakoqi.cpp

[inner quartz]

thank you

[radiant frigate]

i also created the array as a gameobject array

im kinda confused at the moment

[slender nymph]

you've somehow made this even worse

[radiant frigate]

amazing

[slender nymph]

RaycastHit2D,[] longDashArray is not valid at all

also why do you have a discard in the method parameters?

there is just so much wrong here

[radiant frigate]

because i was subscribing the method to the new input system action.performed

function* i mean

or im just messing names up in my brain

[slender nymph]

oh my god that's no discard, that's actually a valid identifier

[radiant frigate]

what?

i think im messing it up to much lmao

[slender nymph]

you should use an actual name for your parameter not _ even though that is somehow valid. it's going to cause a lot of confusion

[radiant frigate]

i was just using ctx before

[slender nymph]

and you need to go relearn the basics since you clearly don't know how to declare and use an array. there are some beginner courses pinned in this channel that will help you get started

[slender nymph]

then why did you change it

[radiant frigate]

because i saw that i can write that so it doesnt take the callbackcontext as a parameter

and for what i´ve heard i think it was better for optimization

which may just be fake tbh

but since it didnt give any problem i just went with it

[slender nymph]

that's not at all what is happening there though

[radiant frigate]

maybe im just explaining myself as bad as a human can

[slender nymph]

if you were using a lambda expression and used a discard _ for the parameter that would be what it is doing. however _ in this context is the identifier for your parameter. so you have a parameter of type CallbackContext with the name _

[radiant frigate]

isnt that the way?

[radiant frigate]

oh..

[slender nymph]

well that's not even the right type of array you need for the method.

[radiant frigate]

oh

it needs to be raycasthit2D

makes sense

[slender nymph]

yes and you need to not be attempting to redeclare the array inline, you need to actually just use that one

and you need to give it a valid size. there's no need for it to be serialized either

[radiant frigate]

true, i can just use debug.log for debugigng

[radiant frigate]

now it says i cant convert a "raycasthit2d[]" to "int"

[slender nymph]

well i don't know what your code currently looks like. but you need to compare your parameters to the ones shown in the docs

after you fix the parameters you'll also need to fix the fact that this method call shouldn't be the condition for an if statement since it returns int and not bool

[radiant frigate]

isnt it supposed to be true in case it hits something?

[slender nymph]

re-read what i just said

and the docs

[radiant frigate]

yes i know you said it isnt a bool

[slender nymph]

correct

[tribal solstice]

this is the look script for the X axis for my first fps I just started but when I use my mouse in game to look around the camera does not turn, can someone tell me what I did wrong

[radiant frigate]

https://gdl.space/epuxetumak.cpp it seems to match for me

[slender nymph]

you didn't follow the tutorial correctly. also don't multiply mouse input by deltaTime, it is already frame rate independent so that multiplication just makes it dependent on the framerate again and causes you to end up with stuttery controls because brackeys didn't bother vetting the code he was teaching.
oh and make sure to reduce the sensitivity both in the code and the inspector since it is about 100 times too high

[radiant frigate]

what is vetting

if i may ask

tbh i can use google nvm

oh, research or reinspect

[slender nymph]

and yet you've still got it as the condition for the if statement

[radiant frigate]

yes yes i will change it afterwards

[slender nymph]

do it now

[radiant frigate]

okay

done

now im left with the convert error

[slender nymph]

now, use the intellisense in your IDE to look at the parameters the method expects. and also look at the documentation again

[radiant frigate]

the method expects an int , and the docs seem to want an array with a set maximun numbers that represent the returns that can be returned?

[slender nymph]

here, let me make this a bit more clear. show me which overload expects (Vector2, Vector2, int, RaycastHit2D[], float)

[radiant frigate]

none

[slender nymph]

well those are the parameters you've passed

[radiant frigate]

i dont know how to display the overload options but i remember looking because i thought about that

but the docs seem to say to use an array

[slender nymph]

at no point am i saying you shouldn't be using an array anywhere. but your parameters do not match up with the overloads shown in the docs. there are some undocumented overloads that may take the types you are trying to pass, but not in that order

[slender nymph]

assuming your are using visual studio: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/ide/using-intellisense?view=vs-2022#parameter-info

[radiant frigate]

i am

[radiant frigate]

im trying to find the edit option, i think i might be blind

[slender nymph]

just use the shortcut the page tells you. Ctrl+Shift+Space

but the Edit option is at the top of the window in the toolbar

[radiant frigate]

oh i was doing right click....

[slender nymph]

So that is the one you were looking at in the docs which we've determined is not the one you are actually trying to use

or at least your parameter types do not match up with it

[radiant frigate]

why is it not?

[slender nymph]

remember what types i said your parameters are? #💻┃code-beginner message

[radiant frigate]

okay, for what i´ve learnt this can be a layermask: (1 << 7)

[slender nymph]

that is an integer for a bitmask used for a layermask, yes. but the overload you are looking at does not accept an integer for any of its parameters

[radiant frigate]

yes, i understand that

but why am i getting the error on the 4th overload

when the problem is supposed to be on the 3rd

[slender nymph]

what are the parameters you see for the fourth overload?

[radiant frigate]

that it asks for or that i have?

it asks for an int, but i have an raycasthit2d array

[slender nymph]

show what you see

[radiant frigate]

https://gdl.space/ehivenodax.cpp

[slender nymph]

specifically show the overload you are looking at that you think the parameters are correct for. not your code. i've already seen your code.

[radiant frigate]

okay, the 4th one, where i have the "longDashArray"

[slender nymph]

that is a parameter. not an overload. the overloads are the different signatures that accept different parameters

[hallow acorn]

donno if thats the right channel for my problem but im triying to make a game where cannons shoot bombs at your island and you have to throw them away before they explode. the bombs simply roll done the island has anyone an idea how i could stop the bomb by rolling in a "dynamic" way?

[slender nymph]

i've already told you why what you have is wrong. you need to look at the other available overloads to find the one that matches the types of parameters you are trying to pass, they are just in a different order as i've already told you

[radiant frigate]

so i guess i have to say the 5th one?

[radiant frigate]

okay let me check again

the 6th one seems to also be usable i think

[slender nymph]

how i could stop the bomb by rolling in a "dynamic" way
what do you mean by this? are you asking how to prevent the bomb from rolling? because if so, it should either not have a rigidbody, the rigidbody should be kinematic (so outside forces like gravity and friction do not apply), or you need to constrain axes on its position/rotation

[slender nymph]

so if you've found an overload of the Physics2D.Raycast method that takes the parameter types you are expecting to pass, have you found the correct order for those parameters?

[radiant frigate]

the order seems to be correct

[slender nymph]

prove it

[hallow acorn]

yeah i know how i can stop a ball but is there an easy way to make it look normal and not like a pingpong ball falling on to tape?

[slender nymph]

i have no idea wtf you mean by that

[radiant frigate]

i think he means using a material for the rigidbody

[slender nymph]

well that's not even a code question so 🤷‍♂️

[hallow acorn]

ok then just tell me where to post it then and im gone pls

[radiant frigate]

yeah but if he doesnt know it exists he could think that it can be made via code( which can but is just hard)

[slender nymph]

#🔎┃find-a-channel

[radiant frigate]

i have no clue but search on yt or on the docs about rigidbody materials or something like that

i just checked and 6th doesnt work because it asks for a list not an array

[slender nymph]

then look at the available overloads again and find the one that actually has the types you are trying to pass

[radiant frigate]

"RaycastHit2d[] results" is an array right?

[rich adder]

[] are arrays, yes

[light arrow]

if (playerMovement != null)
{
while (currentStamina < maxStamina * 0.15f) // If stamina is below 15% of max
{
playerMovement.moveSpeed = playerMovement.reducedSpeed;
}
} not sure if this is the right way to paste the code but whenever my stamina bar gets to 15%, unity freezes like nothing works i cant hit the X or stop playing. i know it works but i have not tried it with a while loop but a if. could that be my problem

[rich adder]

infinite loop

[radiant frigate]

hi navarone!

[radiant frigate]

so the 5th

[slender nymph]

no, the 5th overload of the 8 available was the one you were looking at first which did not even have an int parameter but you're trying to pass an integer for the layermask

[radiant frigate]

so the problem is in the layer mask and not in the array?

[slender nymph]

oh my god

[radiant frigate]

and because the algorithm thinks i want to use other one, it gives me the error on the 4th?

[slender nymph]

how many fucking times do i have to say you just need to find the overload that takes the types you are trying to pass so you can see that your parameters are not in the correct order

[slender nymph]

it seems you are still confusing the word "overload" for the word "parameter"

[radiant frigate]

there is only 2 that use an array

overload = combination of parameters

[slender nymph]

where it says 5 of 8 here is referring to the overloads. this is the 5th of the 8 available overloads. use the arrow buttons to scroll through the different overloads to find the one you are actually trying to use

[radiant frigate]

thats what i think it is

[slender nymph]

and what types does the other one accept?

we've looked at number 5 several times now. what is the other overload that accepts an array as a parameter

[radiant frigate]

the same ones, but it takes out the distance

thats the only other one

instead of 5 parameters it asks for 4 which are the same ones as in the 5th overload

[slender nymph]

so you do not see the one that takes (Vector2, Vector2, float, RaycastHit2D, int)

[radiant frigate]

no i do not

[slender nymph]

what version of unity are you using

[radiant frigate]

3.6.1

[slender nymph]

are you sure about that

[slender nymph]

that's the hub. not unity. you are using 2022.3.21

[radiant frigate]

oh, then yes, im using 2022.3.21f1

[slender nymph]

yes i saw that from the screenshot. the overload i am referring to has been available since 2018 so I don't know why you are not seeing it

but your parameters are not in the correct order for it

[radiant frigate]

it has 8 overloads for you too?

maybe im just blind

but i only do see 2 that ask for an array on the parameters

or more specifically Raycasthit2D

well i see a third, but that one still asks for a contact filter and is a list, not an array

[slender nymph]

well then it looks like you'll just need to create a contact filter then

[radiant frigate]

dude i feel bad for you, you´ve been helping me for like 1.5 hours

i aprecciate it a lot

[slender nymph]

dunno why it isn't showing for you. it's still clearly there in the code

[radiant frigate]

i think it isnt

as i said maybe im just blind

do i screenshot each option?

in case im just 0/20 vision

[slender nymph]

honestly just create the contact filter at this point. just var filter = new ContactFilter2D().NoFilter(); filter.SetLayerMask(<your mask here>);

[radiant frigate]

and if i dont have a layer mask i can use the (1<<7)?

[slender nymph]

that is the layermask

[radiant frigate]

okay yeah im bad at explaining myself

ty then !

ill try it

[slender nymph]

ah shit, this whole time i was looking at the Raycast methods on the PhysicsScene struct rather than the Physics2D class because for some reason Physics2D is declared later on in the Physics2D.bindings.cs file than PhysicsScene2D is. that's my bad

[jaunty bay]

henlo ppl, does anyone know how to refer a scene using serialized field?

{
    public SceneAsset _targetWarp;
    private void Start()
    {
        _targetWarp = GetComponent<SceneAsset>();
    }
    public void Interact()
    {
        Debug.Log("Interacted with: " + this.name);
    }
}```

ive tried SceneManager.LoadScene(string) but obv it wont let me since it takes string, but what ive wanted to do i want to make the target warp selectable by the inspector. anyway i can do that?

[radiant frigate]

idk what any of that means lol

[slender nymph]

i was looking at the c# bindings that unity has posted on github. but i was accidentally looking at the wrong type because both of those types are declared in the same file, but the one i should have been looking at (which also happens to share a name with the file they are both declared in) was declared later in the file. I was looking at the first type PhysicsScene2D, but because github isn't that great at showing the context for a select method it was not immediately clear. I was not the only one who made that mistake as I actually got the link from a comment from the Developer Notes Extension which made the same mistake

[slender nymph]

you can't. you can serialize a string or int to represent the scene, but you won't be able to drag a scene asset like that by default

i think there may be some asset/package that will allow you to do that, but it basically just boils down to serializing the string name or int index of the scene for loading at runtime

[radiant frigate]

so this was an epic gamer moment ig

[jaunty bay]

oh ok tyy

thts such a basic feature tht unity should have smh

[heady pagoda]

yo idk if im slow but ts is still not workin

[slender nymph]

you still haven't bothered to configure your !IDE 👇

[eternal falcon]

[heady pagoda]

imma be honest i have no idea what that means and the links also dont really help

[summer stump]

Click the first or second one and follow the steps

And IDE is the thing you write code in

But yeah, as you were told in the other server and this one hours ago, your rigidbody is not assigned anywhere. It is private (so cannot be done in the inspector) and not done in the code

[jaunty bay]

using UnityEngine;
using UnityEditor;

public class SceneAssetNameRetriever : MonoBehaviour
{
    public SceneAsset _targetWarp;

    void Start()
    {
        if (_targetWarp != null)
        {
            string scenePath = AssetDatabase.GetAssetPath(_targetWarp);
            string sceneName = System.IO.Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(scenePath);
            Debug.Log("The scene asset name is: " + sceneName);
        }
        else
        {
            Debug.Log("No SceneAsset assigned.");
        }
    }
}
#endif

i found this, is it fine?

[heady pagoda]

yoooo thats crazy

thx 🙏

[rich adder]

this wont work inside the final game

[wintry quarry]

This will only work in the editor

[slender nymph]

it's also just getting the scene name from the sceneasset anyway

[jaunty bay]

ah ok ty

[rich adder]

why is typing a scene name such a hastle lol

make your own struct/class , easily store as string if you want objects

[slender nymph]

you could write a property drawer that allows you to choose a scene name from a dropdown, that's what I did. I just plop a Scene attribute (that I created, obviously) onto a serialized string and the property drawer just draws a dropdown menu with a list of the scenes in the build settings and assigns the field to the name selected

[jaunty bay]

cuz turning a 10 sec work to an hour work just to simplify the simplest thing is what i do

[slender nymph]

or there are assets like NaughtyAttributes that have similar (if not exactly the same) functionality

[unkempt harness]

Anyone know how I can add an infinite grid background to my 2d game? It's a simulation for planets and gravity but I want to add a grid so you can see the scale as the camera moves around.

[sharp abyss]

Does anybody know how can I make a combat like the game bloody bastards for pc? I mean the combat.

[rich adder]

coding

[sharp abyss]

I know it

https://hatebin.com/rlcybwbyfm I wrote this

it rotates shoulders and elbows

I can make the one handeds but I couldnt figure out how to do the 2 handed weapons

[idle ginkgo]

{
    bool changingDirections = (direction.x > 0 && rb.velocity.x < 0) || (direction.x < 0 && rb.velocity.x > 0);

    if (onGround)
    {
        if (Mathf.Abs(direction.x) < 0.4f || changingDirections)
        {
            rb.drag = linearDrag;
        }
        else
        {

        }
        rb.gravityScale = 0;

this is the code i have written for modifying gravity

but idk why i am able to jump higher when i run and jump at the same time

as compared to when i only jump

i want the max jump height to stay consitent

[slender nymph]

you should consider showing the full code so that all of the relevant context is available and we don't have to play 20 questions to see what is going on in your code

[idle ginkgo]

oh ok i am sorry wait

[sand heath]

you can use assetbundles

i think the question is why do you want the name of the scene

could you not just make a scriptableobject with a string with the name of the scene and a display name?

[sand heath]

why are you setting the velocity

the documents say specifically not to do that

[rich adder]

perfectly normal

[summer stump]

Yes, that is an unfortunate error in the documentation in my opinion. Unity docs are really really good most of the time, but there are weird statements like that sometimes. It does say "most cases" and "can" but, I would still say it could be worded better.
Setting velocity is VERY snappy. Which is preferable in many cases, but yeah, not realistic behaviour compared to a real life object with inertia.
We're talking about video games though 😸

[sand heath]

well getting faster while jumping is unrealistic

thought it might be relevant since we only got 3 lines of code to go off of

[summer stump]

That is not intrinsically because of setting velocity though. But yeah, there are issues you have to be conscious of. Dash handling and overriding gravity being two big ones

[acoustic arch]

ive been tampering aroundf with making a 2D building system using tilemaps but ive run into an issue

so im trying to make it so that you cant build in certain locations or on top of other colliders

im doing it completely from scratch atm

https://hatebin.com/aaejhfzkmo

this is the code of it so far

it works as it should but after a while of placing blocks down randomly i cant fill in some gaps and it detects a collider despite their not even being in object

i tested the mouse position and it wasn't that so it must be that the raycast is too large and hitting the colliders?

[hasty blade]

hey so I made an array with an animator override controller and an integer. I’m wondering how I could access the animator override controller in the array

i’ve always been really bad with arrays. I figured a list out but i realized I need to use an array for this to work

[slender nymph]

lists work just like arrays do

there's just no Add or Remove methods on an array since the size is fixed

[hasty blade]

so it’s would be like:
array[]

pretty much

ah i think i asked the wrong question. how do i access a certain aspect of a class

[slender nymph]

it seems you would benefit from learning the fundamentals of using c#. there are beginner courses pinned in this channel that will help you get started

[gilded thunder]

someone pls help me with this, I can press key but it's only move in one position

here the code

[subtle folio]

can someone please help me with what to do on this test allocation exit code 139

[languid spire]

please do not cross post

[subtle folio]

deleted the other one

[winter tinsel]

Instantiate(projectile, myrigidbody.position, Quaternion.AngleAxis(myrigidbody.rotation, myrigidbody.position));

and yet the rotation is allways at the 0 point, why?

is it because i dont use quaternions to change the rotation of the rigidbody?

[cosmic dagger]

the 2nd param of Quaternion.AngleAxis is an axis, but you're using a position . . .

[winter tinsel]

does

wait

okay myrigidbody.axis doesnt exist

what do

wadu

[cosmic dagger]

also the 1st param is an angle, yet you're using a Quaternion?

[winter tinsel]

not using a quaternion by my own will i just have to because ive tried converting to euler angles and it just WONT WORK

ive tried alot of things and itll either not rotate OR only rotate towards the 0,0

[cosmic dagger]

no, you choose the axis. i'd check the unity docs or look at a tutorial for Quaternion.AngleAxis if you don't understand it . . .

i'm unsure what you're trying to do with that code . . .

[winter tinsel]

instantiate object at the position of another rigidbody and make the rotation of that object the same as the rigid body

rotation of said body

[winter tinsel]

first 2 parts work, the rotation just simply wont work right lol

[cosmic dagger]

try assigning the rotation of the rigidbody for the rotation param of Instantiate . . .

[winter tinsel]

how

[cosmic dagger]

the same way you assigned the rigidbody position for the position param; just use the rigidbody rotation . . .

[winter tinsel]

cant convert from float to quaternion

for example if i try quaternion.euler(myrigidbody.rotation)

it kinda looks like i need to take away 90

[cosmic dagger]

oh, you're using Rigidbody2D? that's important information to provide . . .

try myrigidbody.transform.rotation . . .

[winter tinsel]

mybad

thought it was obvious but sorry

[winter tinsel]

ok promising

[cosmic dagger]

myrigidbody could be Rigidbody or Rigidbody2D. the default is the 3D version . . .

[winter tinsel]

nope

[winter tinsel]

i just renamed it

its public Rigidbody2D myrigidbody

[winter tinsel]

the rotation is towards the 0 point

[quick pollen]

is there a way to turn off the collider on a charactercontroller?

[full kite]

Hello guys!

Here, in console, it will spam a bunch of zeros.

But in a part of the script, this value changes to 2, but in the console, its still spammes 0. Can somebody tell me why?

[willow scroll]

Hey. Could you first, please, share your script in a readable text form? !code

[willow scroll]

Where is the condition called?

[full kite]

    {
        string thisGameobjectName;
        string collisionGameobjectName;

        thisGameobjectName = gameObject.name;
        collisionGameobjectName = collision.gameObject.name;

            Destroy(collision.gameObject);
            t=2;
        }    
    }```

[willow scroll]

Why do you assign the variable t after destroying its script?

[lethal bolt]

Why cant i make a vector3 anymore?

[full kite]

What do you mean?

[full kite]

its like a bool that has values

[willow scroll]

You destroy the script by destroying its gameObject:

Destroy(gameObject);

[full kite]

that t

that t has nothing to do with the script itself ig

[willow scroll]

You should read the error

[full kite]

Ok, so

[willow scroll]

You guess?

[full kite]

that t==2, tells me to spawn another gameobject

[willow scroll]

How?

[eternal falcon]

Join the C# Discord server, a programming server aimed at coders discussing everything related to C# (CSharp) and .NET. https://discord.com/invite/csharp

[full kite]

void Update()
    {
        if (t==2)
        {
            GameObject myGameObject2 = new GameObject("Lvl" + t.ToString());
            ren = myGameObject2.AddComponent<SpriteRenderer>();
            ren.sprite = CamilaLvl2;
            bc2d = myGameObject2.AddComponent<BoxCollider2D>();
            rb2d = myGameObject2.AddComponent<Rigidbody2D>();

            rb2d.gravityScale = 0;
            bc2d.isTrigger = true;
        }
        Debug.Log(t);  
    }```

[willow scroll]

The condition won't execute on the destroyed object

[full kite]

Why?

In the console, its just 0

Like the t isnt even going to 2 for a sec

[willow scroll]

Because of what I have previously mentioned?

[full kite]

and why s that?

[willow scroll]

t should not be printed after a successful collision

[full kite]

ok so let me clarify what I want.

After a succesfull collision, both of them should be destroyed and then appears a new one

[willow scroll]

You have to call a method directly within the successful collision

[full kite]

a function you mean?

[willow scroll]

A method, I mean

[full kite]

what do you mean by method?

like I can also do that

but still doesnt work

[willow scroll]

What does not work? *

[full kite]

nope

[languid spire]

I see nowhere where you set/increment t

[full kite]

I removed that part

[languid spire]

then why
if (t ==2) ?

[willow scroll]

They have removed that part

[full kite]

But idk what part should I put cause non of them works

[willow scroll]

The sprite is not assigned properly? Print CamilaLvl2

[willow scroll]

You should first define "none of them works"

[full kite]

and the image isnt null

[willow scroll]

Is the sprite not added to the object?

[full kite]

nope

[willow scroll]

"Nope, it's added", or "Nope, it's not added"?

[full kite]

nope its not added

[willow scroll]

Enumerables exist...

[willow scroll]

Are you sure that's the object you're creating?

Also, not sure why you don't instantiate it

[full kite]

what do you mean by that?

[full kite]

this is the canvas that has the script

not my gameobject that I create during script

[willow scroll]

Then take a minute to explain your issue, and not make me guess it myself

[full kite]

So basically

When colliding 2 of Lvl1 Objects, it should spawn another gameobject that has the level 2 in it which it does. But the sprite isnt there. The script is in Canvas, and in Canvas an image its assigned to it, but in the 2 Of Lvl1 Objects, which is also the script, its not assigned there, because Idk how, and it doesnt make sense why I should assign there if I take the sprite from canvas

[willow scroll]

Well, could you now send the spawned object?

[full kite]

One sec

[full kite]

its empty

but the sprite should be taken from the canvas

not this lvl1 object

and there is assigned

[willow scroll]

It's not the spawned object.

[full kite]

it is

[willow scroll]

No, it's not.

You don't add the BuyScript component to it

[full kite]

I need to add that script to it

cause it also has a drag feature in it

[full kite]

This is the lvl1

object

not the one that hasnt the image

this one has the image

[willow scroll]

I'm asking you to show the script you are spawning, creating, instantiating, initializing

[full kite]

public void Create (int level)
    {
        GameObject myGameObject2 = new GameObject("Lvl" + level.ToString());
        ren = myGameObject2.AddComponent<SpriteRenderer>();
        ren.sprite = CamilaLvl2;
        bc2d = myGameObject2.AddComponent<BoxCollider2D>();
        rb2d = myGameObject2.AddComponent<Rigidbody2D>();

        rb2d.gravityScale = 0;
        bc2d.isTrigger = true;
    }
    
    private void OnTriggerStay2D (Collider2D collision)
    {
        string thisGameobjectName;
        string collisionGameobjectName;

        thisGameobjectName = gameObject.name;
        collisionGameobjectName = collision.gameObject.name;

        if (mouseButtonReleased && thisGameobjectName == "Lvl1" && collisionGameobjectName == "Lvl1")
        {
            mouseButtonReleased = false;
             Destroy(gameObject);
            Destroy(collision.gameObject);
            Create(2);
        }    
    }```

[willow scroll]

The GameObject, I mean

[full kite]

what do you mean?

[willow scroll]

#💻┃code-beginner message

[full kite]

oh

[willow scroll]

GameObject myGameObject2 = new GameObject("Lvl" + level.ToString());

[full kite]

but for the lvl1 u mean?

like how do I spawn the first one?

yurr i got this dash script and it works but there isnt a cooldown
dont have any errors too

[willow scroll]

Could you, please, consider reading what I have asked you to do?

[heady pagoda]

lmao 😭

[willow scroll]

You don't even seem to call the Attack method

[eternal needle]

your !ide isnt configured either

[young fossil]

Capture the flag.

• Do you see any logical problems with it?
• Should I switch to a HFSM?

[willow scroll]

I'm just asking you to read my previous responses. What is that you don't understand in "send the spawned object's Inspector"?

[full kite]

and I asked which one

[willow scroll]

The spawned one.

[full kite]

I got 2 spawned ones

Lvl1 and Lvl2 that doesnt appear

and doesnt have any sprite attached to it

[cosmic dagger]

why are you creating a GameObject like this instead of using a prefab with the needed components? 🤔

[willow scroll]

I only see a single GameObject being created

[full kite]

this is the 2nd

[full kite]

cause I tried and idk how to do it

[willow scroll]

Is this the Inspector?

[full kite]

Let me give you both of em

[willow scroll]

Them being able to neither explain the issue properly, nor send the Inspector of the GameObject is a worse thing, currently

[full kite]

This is the first

[full kite]

This is the 2nd

[willow scroll]

You have said the spawned object's sprite is not set. It is.

[full kite]

its not

on the lvl1 its working

on the lvl2 its not working

this is my question

why its not working

[cosmic dagger]

if you can't, then i suggest following a tutorial on prefabs, how to create and use them. they are essential to creating GameObjects at runtime and populating your game . . .

[willow scroll]

Well, it's Lvl2. You haven't even send the code for it, I suppose.

[full kite]

this is the code for lvl2

[full kite]

You think it ll work?

[willow scroll]

No, it won't work if you don't listen to me

[willow scroll]

Please, show the sprite

[full kite]

oke

[cosmic dagger]

at this point, no, it'll confuse you more to start smth new. continue following your current instructions . . .

[full kite]

this is what im trying to do

[willow scroll]

Show its variable

[full kite]

im alr confused asf cause english its not even my first language, and some techincal terms its kinda hard

[full kite]

huh?

[willow scroll]

Show its variable

[full kite]

this is the sprite that supposed to go into the level 2 thing

[willow scroll]

"That's supposed". Is it there, though?

[full kite]

no its not

this is my question

Why?

[young fossil]

If you don't know fundemental knowledge it is hard for people to show you how to do things. You need to refer to a tutorial and learn the basics before you ask people here.

[willow scroll]

And so that's why I'm asking you to show it

Show the sprite variable set in the Inspector, or print it before the assignment

[willow scroll]

Now print it here

ren.sprite = CamilaLvl2;

[full kite]

in canvas the gameobject was assigned

in the runtime

there isnt

[willow scroll]

So, have you printed it?

[young fossil]

Wasting people's time not listening to instructions

[young fossil]

Bump

[full kite]

what do you mean by printing it?

[young fossil]

https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/ManagedCodeDebugging.html

You need to go and learn the basics

[willow scroll]

Using the Debug.Log or MonoBehaviour.print method with the suitable string

[full kite]

I did, that sprite isnt going where it supposed to go. I mean in the lvl2 gameobject assigned

the gameobject spawns

all the components and their settings are good

but not the sprite

[willow scroll]

So, have you already sent the message logged?

[full kite]

IM trying to figure out what message can you possibly talk about

[willow scroll]

You have just said you have done that already

[full kite]

The debug.log thing I did

[young fossil]

Darius, please you need to go and learn Unity basics in their tutorials. You are going to get nowhere like this

[full kite]

at least Im trying my best to actually understand smthing

If my best is low, im still trying

[young fossil]

Yes, it isn't about your best. We understand you are trying your best, everyone is at different levels. But Darius, we can't help you, even in the beginner channel, if you are missing fundemental understanding

[full kite]

ill make you a quick mp4 to actually see what I see

[full kite]

does that help you?

[willow scroll]

There would be no need in a quick mp4, if you could only follow my instructions

[full kite]

I cant understand some terms

this is y im trying to make you rephrase it

[young fossil]

You need to go and learn them if you want to effectively ask for help

[willow scroll]

I'm explaining things in terms, which should already be known to you

[eternal needle]

this is game dev. not "i dont know how a computer works" beginner. You'll quickly exhaust anyones patience if you dont at least know the fundamentals.
Sitting around instead of adding 1 line of code because u dont know the fundamentals isnt trying, it is just struggling. You cant struggle your way through this

[young fossil]

This is also a public chat, there's other people wanting to ask their questions, including me, so this pointless conversation fills up the chat log and nothing is being done with it

[eternal needle]

there should really be some command/pin/message in the read me about the word "beginner" meaning beginner game dev. Not beginner whats 1+1

[full kite]

damn alr

[young fossil]

They have it in a lot of other programming servers. Not sure why they didn't do it here. In other ones I've seen a pinned channel with a list of tutorials that people must know about

[willow scroll]

[Your question](#💻┃code-beginner message) doesn't belong in #💻┃code-beginner, I suppose. #archived-code-general #archived-code-advanced

[young fossil]

Where should I post it?

[full kite]

@willow scroll if you still have patience (i think its negative at this point) can we go in dm?

if not, its alr

ill come in 2 3 hours when all these pro went outside

[willow scroll]

No, we cannot. You should consider following my instructions, if you want to receive help from me.

[young fossil]

Are you saying they belong in general/advanced or they also don't belong there?

[willow scroll]

Yes, I'm saying that your question is too hard for #💻┃code-beginner

[full kite]

can you point out what instruction i didnt follow please

[willow scroll]

Each

[full kite]

can you point them out?

[eternal needle]

also for your question, its really up to you if you need a HFSM or not. Another thing to consider is do you really want some things to only transition to specific states. Like could an enemy never go from dropping an enemy flag, to protecting their own, or searching for items, or engaging enemies?

[willow scroll]

It would take a lot of time to create such a list

The last one was about printing a message to console

[tropic vault]

Howdy. How would I convert a distance between two Vector3 points to a Lerp interpolation point (t, 0-1)? Like between (10, 0, 0) and (30, 0, 0), (20, 0, 0) would be 0.5

[willow scroll]

Why 0.5?

[young fossil]

That's exactly why I am considering a HFSM. Since I could group those states to make it easier for multiple tranisitons to a single state like dropping a flag

[cosmic dagger]

this is hard to answer without seeing the process in motion. essentially, couldn't you go to any state? the type of FSM you want is dictated by you and your demands . . .

[tropic vault]

Because 20 is the middle point between 10 and 30

Lerp(10, 30, 0.5) would give 20

[young fossil]

Not sure what you mean by go to any state?

[tropic vault]

But I want to convert a position between two points into a value between 0 and 1

[cosmic dagger]

the same thing bawsi said, instead of transitioning to specific states, they could go to any or more states . . .

[tropic vault]

I want to move a sprite mask up to reveal an object depending on the score, basically

[young fossil]

Either it needs to be changed to a HFSM or FSMs are the wrong apporach in general

[willow scroll]

Got it, I'm trying to remember the formula right now

[tropic vault]

So 10/100 would be 10% revealed or 0.1

[eternal needle]

there is an inverse lerp function

[cosmic dagger]

based on the start distance and end distance, you want the interpolant? as long as you have the current distance, use InverseLerp . . .

[tropic vault]

jesus christ they have a function for everything

[full kite]

Ok @willow scroll so

    {
        GameObject myGameObject2 = new GameObject("Lvl" + level.ToString());
        ren = myGameObject2.AddComponent<SpriteRenderer>();
        ren.sprite = CamilaLvl2;
        bc2d = myGameObject2.AddComponent<BoxCollider2D>();
        rb2d = myGameObject2.AddComponent<Rigidbody2D>();

        rb2d.gravityScale = 0;
        bc2d.isTrigger = true;
    }
    
    private void OnTriggerStay2D (Collider2D collision)
    {
        string thisGameobjectName;
        string collisionGameobjectName;

        thisGameobjectName = gameObject.name;
        collisionGameobjectName = collision.gameObject.name;

        if (mouseButtonReleased && thisGameobjectName == "Lvl1" && collisionGameobjectName == "Lvl1")

this is all the code that has the problem somewhere. By pressing a button, a gameobject spawns that has the sprite setted up properly

            myGameObject.transform.SetParent(carpet1.transform, false);

When pressing the button 2 times, 2 gameobjects spawns. When colliding them, a new gameobject spawns that hasnt the image assigned. In the canvas it is assigned (as u can see from the picture above) But when running, all the settings without that sprite is on the spot. This is my main question. Why in the first type of gameobject the sprite went perfect in the sprite renderer and in the second type of the gameobject it didnt, using the same part of the script (you can see from the code)

[tropic vault]

so like i put in min, max and current and it gives me 🍵 ?

FLASHBANG

[willow scroll]

But the distance is always going to give you 0.5...

10 - 0%
30 - 100%

30 - 10 = 20 (100% distance)
20 - 10 = 10 (x% distance)
10 / 20 = .5 (50% distance in this case, and every other)

So it doesn't make sense to me

[tropic vault]

So there is only InverseLerp for floats but I only need the Y axis so it's okay

[willow scroll]

If you do it without the distance, but with the current value:

min:  50
max:  100
curr: 70

50  - 0%
100 - 100%
70  - x%

x = (curr - min) / (max - min)
x = (70 - 50) / (100 - 50)
x = 20 / 50
x = .4 (40%)

[tropic vault]

thanks i figured it out

[eternal needle]

the question of hfsm or fsm is really up to you, because a hfsm is just a fsm. The states may just be state machines themselves. (If im remembering correctly at least). Yea you could use it if you wanted to group some states but i dont really see how you would wanna do that here. What kind of groups could exist?
My point relates more to the issues that you may even see in the animator. Where you might have to connect every state to every state, because your animations can play whenever. So consider do you even need restrictions on how it transitions? The only thing then you might just have to define if a state can be entered, if you dont setup these transition rules.

[willow scroll]

Wrong sprite assignment

[tropic vault]

wait hold on

Vector3 lp = castleMask.transform.localPosition;
float t = Mathf.InverseLerp(0f, 15.69f, lp.y);
castleMask.transform.localPosition = new(lp.x, Mathf.Lerp(0f, 15.69f, t));

how do i base this on the score

[languid spire]

this
castleMask.transform.localPosition = new(lp.x, Mathf.Lerp(0f, 15.69f, t));
is not even valid C#

[tropic vault]

it is

which part in particular is concerning you

new()? this syntax is there since like 8 or 9 idk

[languid spire]

missing the word Vector3

[tropic vault]

shortened new() are a thing for a long time

the compiler infers the type

if it couldn't i'd get an error

i'm not getting one

so how do i base this on the score

[young fossil]

Been thinking... I may just try with this FSM approach. If it doesn't work, I'll then start breaking down actions and grouping them, for more control at least. I can already think of how I could expand their actions a bit, but I want to avoid doing that for now

[rich egret]

I'm trying to run OnRoomListUpdate, but it says that entering the lobby in ConnectToServermakes it not work, where should I put OnRoomListUpdate?

[eternal needle]

It really just is a pain, where we have to experiment and possibly fail to see if you need something more defined. But better than setting up complex environments you wont use. If you do need a very well defined list of actions, I hear GOAP is a good way of doing this stuff

[young fossil]

And yea, I agree. The issue of a bunch of "back and forth" transitions is annoying and messy. I considered other approaches to this AI solution, notable BTs, Utility and some others. But personally I think this is a simple AI and doesn't need anything more complicated than an FSM

[tropic vault]

hold on maybe i inverse lerp current and max score and just use the t for the position lerp

[young fossil]

Unfortunately I guess I'll have to risk facing the pain

[eternal needle]

In my game, I literally just have a list of states the AI can enter, then it enters whichever has the highest weighting. It works well enough especially since im not going for a dark souls type enemy.

Just a bunch of dumb capsules running around

[young fossil]

Yep, that is UtilityAI. Looked into it. Same AI that The Sims uses

If I found compelling evidence of it being able to mimic advanced behaviour, I'd go for it. But I searched everywhere and no luck

[eternal needle]

I'm not too aware of existing packages like utility, but it's pretty trivial to setup the basics. Most AI packages are dogshit

[young fossil]

Not intereted in any packages

Not using any packages at all

Just a disclaimer

[eternal needle]

I'll never forget when I got one in a bundle. The dev said the performance is good. I tested with 50 AI and saw the AI were allocating 1mb every frame cause of overlap checks

[young fossil]

Half Life 1 uses FSM for example. It has flaws, of course, soldiers cannot fire while they are in their "get to cover" state for example. But for my AI, i don't need that level of complex behaviour for my solution

how to make zipbomb game 101

[young fossil]

Amazing

Also there are some brutal medium blogs out there

[inner quartz]

Hello guys, I need a help, why the private static float variable doesn't save without PlayerPrefs

[languid spire]

because neither private not static variables are serialized, so double whamy

[eternal needle]

Medium is generally pretty shit. Misinformation just because they want to be the first and loudest, anti copy stuff which makes it tedious to follow., Literally anyone can write an "article" there.
The best tutorials are often not very popular cause beginners cant follow along (like those 30 min 1000 view in depth videos).

[winter tinsel]

well speaking of help,

[languid spire]

2 things there that could be null, debug.log them

[winter tinsel]

what 2 things

[willow scroll]

rigidbody and shippy

[languid spire]

projbody or shippy

[winter tinsel]

shippy is code

im refrencing something inside another code

[willow scroll]

A class, you mean? It can be null.

[winter tinsel]

but i changed it to a variable within the same code and same error

[winter tinsel]

yeah its a script

im refrencing a script, BUUUt

[willow scroll]

Yeah, it's a class.

[winter tinsel]

this

[languid spire]

STOP making assumptions and debug

[young fossil]

Apart from some small places on the internet, Unity tutorials are mostly misleading, clickbait and just show you how to write crappy, quick code without delving into the "whys" and "hows".

I think at least for AI, I found it a million times better to just look at some articles, usually written by industry programmers, explaining how the algorithms work and how they adjusted it to their projects. I'd advise anyone on this as much as I can

Problem is when I get to a dead end on my design, like now, where I feel it doesn't like that FSM can solve my AI problems. And like we said, the only way to find out will be in the middle of implementation. If this were the only thing I was focusing on, it'd be a lot easier

[winter tinsel]

doesnt log either

[languid spire]

show code

[winter tinsel]

wait lemme try something else

[willow scroll]

Maybe, you first should have look at the Debug.Log method?

[winter tinsel]

yeah it was direction that was null

okay thats interesting

[languid spire]

then that is a very odd name for a variable. one would expect a direction to be a value type not a reference type

[winter tinsel]

its a vector 2

and i kinda need it for my code

[languid spire]

then it cannot be null

[winter tinsel]

how do i refrence it properly form that code

[inner quartz]

I need to save it through the PlayerPrefs?

[winter tinsel]

actcually nvm if i use it itll cause issues

actually

how would i go about making an object spawn at another object then go in the opposite direction from it?

[languid spire]

I would first ask youself why is it private static and does it need to be

[winter tinsel]

i know how to spawn it but what code do i need to put into the projectile to make it move away from its spawn point

i feel like rotation right?

[inner quartz]

private, because it can be hacked in public, static, because static variables are saved when loading the scene

[languid spire]

not an ideal way of ensuring data persistence but, yes, you could use PlayerPrefs to persist the data between sessions

[inner quartz]

I would have done so if it hadn't been for one thing

[inner quartz]

if I play on my phone and I exit, for example, turning off the phone, then the data will not be saved, and absolutely all data will be not even by default, but by 0

[languid spire]

that sounds like you need to implement a proper save/load system

[inner quartz]

I don't know how to fix it lol

ayo, where are tha "bake" and "object" options?

[frank zodiac]

should enums be INSIDE or OUTSIDE of classes

[teal viper]

They moved to the navmesh surface component. Check the navigation package documentation

[halcyon dagger]

Alr, thanks mate

[random dove]

brother do you know what does that mean

[teal viper]

Please don't ping people into your questions. It's against the server rules.

[random dove]

i am sorry.

well if anyone know whats that kindly give me solution

[teal viper]

It means exactly what it says. That type doesn't have an enabled property or field.

[random dove]

iam new i dont know

just trust me i dont even know hi bye haha of C#

[teal viper]

Then I suggest to go learn the basics of C# first as well as the beginner pathways on unity !learn.

So is VS set in Unity's external tools settings?

[random dove]

just tell me how to download C# on extensions

[random dove]

yep

i latestly searched how let vs work according to unity so i got an tut

as you can see

there are only some working texts from vs

he didnt know defaultInput

You are beyond help if you can't even read

[errant anchor]

hey guys have some problem I've noticed that when my project starts running, the character falls from the sky. Normally, there is no speed change on the X-axis, but during the fall, the X-axis velocity changes. I haven't performed any operations during this time, but when debugging, I can see that the X-axis velocity changes. Could anyone help me understand what causes this change in the velocity value? Thank you for your assistance in resolving this issue.

[random dove]

[tropic vault]

Wait for me, I will reproduce this bug.

[tropic vault]

take your time

[fickle plume]

Physics objects will increase velocity until they hit terminal velocity if there's drag to counteract it. So check that you have enough drag to stabilize velocity.

[solemn bobcat]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ElwPXo4oCc

[errant anchor]

Now, the latest issue is that my character's animation is based on velocity. I just debugged and saw that there is no speed on the X-axis, but when the character initially runs and lands, a walking animation automatically plays. This is really confusing, and I don't know where the problem is.

[errant anchor]

ok i'll try

i am using navmesh and i want to spawn something at the most edge of the available area, how do i get the vector3 position of that?
