[radiant frigate]

im just not english native

[rich adder]

me neither, bookmark is a pretty common word on the internet world..

[radiant frigate]

not in the places i´ve been for what it seems

[rich adder]

yeah im sure no one uses bookmark where you're from

[radiant frigate]

i dont mean in my country i mean in the places ive been on the internet

for example game-forums or in game chats arent usually a place where the word bookmark is used

havent seen someone use it in a league game

[rich adder]

alright lets move on cause thats just stupid.. its literally built into your browser..

what is your code issue ?

[radiant frigate]

i want to compare the vector2.dot for each vector2 in the array with the mouse direction vector, so i know which one is the one that fits the most

but i cant think of a way to do that without making it a living hell to write with lots of random variables that would just be for that precise thing and i wont use again

and i´ve been thinking for an optimal way(or atleast one that isnt bad) and cant think of it

[rich adder]

what exactly is the end goal here , what are you trying to use it for

[radiant frigate]

i want to make a dash towards the enemies

let me represent it with a paint so its easier to see

[rich adder]

so you want the one you're facing most ?

or

[radiant frigate]

yes

[rich adder]

btw Vector3.dot returns the value of the operation

[radiant frigate]

im in 2d

[rich adder]

same thing

[radiant frigate]

idk if i can use that

oh

okay i understand

[rich adder]

i mean vector2.dot returns a float

the dot product ofc

[radiant frigate]

i basically have each enemy with a child that is just a bigger trigger collider,

but for example in this case im most looking at the last one, but if i just make it a simple raycast without comparing it would launch at the first one

giving an unpredictable and not pleasing result

i dont know if i explained myself

[queen adder]

Hello guys! Is there anyone here who would like to introduce me into game dev?

[timid hinge]

isnt this suposted to hide the other 2 maps?

you have a pretty big error down there where it says "Projects"
might have to do a Generate Project Files in External Tools page in unity

[queen adder]

Thank

[radiant frigate]

this is just a recommendation, but when you finish the learning procces dont try to make a big game, go for arcades or small scope games

because the learning procces never ends

[rich adder]

so you want to dash towards the one you're looking the most even if its further than the closest ?

[radiant frigate]

exactly

[rich adder]

you could probably just use vector2.angle as well

[radiant frigate]

i would need to look into what that is

[rich adder]

but dot should be fine too

[radiant frigate]

but i think i would run into the same problem where i would need 300 lines for checking which one is closest to it

[rich adder]

maybe

  foreach (Collider2D collider in colliders)
        {
            var directionToCollider = (collider.transform.position - playerPosition).normalized;
            var dotProduct = Vector2.Dot(playerDirection, directionToCollider);

            if (dotProduct > highestDotProduct)
            {
                highestDotProduct = dotProduct;
                bestCollider = collider;
            }
        }

        return bestCollider;```

[radiant frigate]

i would need to look what return does exactly because i only have a vague idea but it seems fine

only 1 thing

the collider changes with each foreach loop?

i guess so because if not it wouldnt make sense

[rich adder]

this just assume the function returns a Collider2D forgot to add that

but you can easily just store the bestCollider at script level too

names are inconsequential also

[radiant frigate]

script level?

[rich adder]

yes a field

[radiant frigate]

oh okay

[rich adder]

not a local variable from a function/ loop

[radiant frigate]

yes yes

okay

imma try that because it seems to make sense

btw

idk how much a game scales, but how many raycast would cause lag?

because im scared and im only using like 10 rn

[rich adder]

raycast are quite performant

[radiant frigate]

i imagine

but, if i scale the game, and spawn lets say 10 enemies, each with 5 raycast, it would be 50 casts

[rich adder]

Overlaps and things that return multiple of something you should opt in for the Fixed version

aka nonalloc

[radiant frigate]

but it can get worse

[radiant frigate]

i made it nonalloc i think

[rich adder]

thats peasant numbers lol

[radiant frigate]

i imagine

but like

10k is a lot of raycasts?

or is it like

average?

how much would be considered a lot

[rich adder]

there is no set measurement

its all relative

[radiant frigate]

because im scared of using even more than 20 per script

i suppose

but im scared that it gets to laggy from one day to another

lmao

[rich adder]

ofc everything you do has impacts but rays in not something I'd be most concerned performance drops from

[radiant frigate]

okay

ty navarone!

hope everything is going well

ill report back if i somehow mess up

[rich adder]

I haven't tested but it should work, I will try it as soon as back to see if didn't miss anything

[radiant frigate]

imma test it rn np

[vale karma]

thats my favorite phrase hehe

i say that alot at work

[radiant frigate]

which one? lol

[vale karma]

I havent tested it but it should work

[radiant frigate]

oh

LMAO

[vale karma]

navarone do you ever take a break? i was last on here months ago and you were ther still

[rich adder]

keyword *should *

[rich adder]

im not here that often

[vale karma]

your brain must be big brain now

[radiant frigate]

fr he be helping me make half my games

[summer stump]

This IS a break 😸

[rich adder]

literally me steaming off my crap going on

[vale karma]

let me help these childrens so i can relax

[queen adder]

and what about doing a 2D indie game?

[rocky canyon]

thats ideal

i started w/ 3D b/c i actually find it easier and more intuitive than 2D

but it is more work in the long run imo

[safe radish]

for a plane mesh used for water. does it need to be discrete or might having shared vertices work better for that?

[radiant frigate]

you can do fun arcade indie games, it teaches lots of things, like working around a mechanic, having a good scope, quality over quantity, game loops, and so on

you can do either 2d or 3d imo, the only thing you should look out for is to not trying to make overwhelming games, start low and easy

as i said, this is just what i think is the best option, you are free of doing however you find it more suitable

[crisp anvil]

Don't understand what I am doing wrong. Why would this not set the MarkerPanel/Text in this way?

    private void SetPathMarkersAlongPath()
    {
        foreach (GameObject marker in pathMarkers)
        {
            Destroy(marker);
            MarkerPanelUI.SetActive(false);
        }
        pathMarkers.Clear();

        foreach (OverlayTile tile in path)
        {
            GameObject marker = Instantiate(PathMarker, tile.transform.position, Quaternion.identity);
            pathMarkers.Add(marker);

            if (tile == EndPathTile)
            {
                MarkerTurnText = marker.GetComponentInChildren<TMPro.TMP_Text>();  <--- Here
                MarkerPanelUI = marker.transform.Find("Panel").gameObject; <--- Here
                MarkerPanelUI.SetActive(true);
                marker.GetComponent<SpriteRenderer>().color = PathMarkerColor; 
                MarkerTurnText.text = path.Count.ToString();
            }

        }
    }

[queen adder]

My goal in starting learn game dev, is to make my own game

As it's a dream since very young

[wintry quarry]

Have you tried using Debug.Log to see if and when the code is actually running?

[radiant frigate]

making your own game is good, but just think that it will probably not be possible to make your dream game as your first game

[queen adder]

Yes of course

I was thinking after 1 year of daily learning

probably

[radiant frigate]

probably more depending on how big it is

but you will feel it once you have a feel for how big games are, and how hard it is to do them as a solo developer

[rocky gale]

https://pst.innomi.net/paste/qf3u2utv569dozh3w5gzyp7b i followed a tutorial for flappy bird and this part is spawning pipes but i dont realy get how the gap calculation works and why can someone explain please

[crisp anvil]

Yes, even used Debug.Log("End Path Tile: " + (EndPathTile == path.Last())); To verifiy the tiles are indeed the same. End Path Tile: True

[queen adder]

Do you have made big games before?

[radiant frigate]

nope, im myself a starter developer

[rich adder]

it makes sure it has a specific gap inbetween

[radiant frigate]

i made an arcadelike-game but i wouldnt even consider it a game

[rocky gale]

wow really

but i dont get how the calculation works

[queen adder]

Ok I see

[rich adder]

break it down into smaller parts

the code is messy in the first place

[rocky gale]

how is it messy

[rich adder]

well not messy exactly, just lacks comments not everything is clear right away tbh.

[rocky gale]

oh

[rocky canyon]

camOrthoSize * 2f - gapY - gapSize * .5f, xPos, false scary line of code 🙂

its not too bad tho, since its small, and the function definition is directly below it

[rocky canyon]

its totally possible.. albeit it might be a really really long time before release ready

[radiant frigate]

is there a way to break 2 statements with 1 break?

[rocky canyon]

whats ur starting code?

[radiant frigate]

i have a forloop inside an if

can i break the forloop with a break inside the if

[summer stump]

That would be pretty fast, but definitely doable as long as the scope isn't too much

[radiant frigate]

wait no

[rich adder]

which if ?

[radiant frigate]

this if is inside the forloop

[rich adder]

yes you can use if to break inside for loop

[radiant frigate]

if >forloop >if

can i break the first if with a break in the 2nd?

like double break?

[rich adder]

what

[radiant frigate]

or should i do something like goto?

[rocky canyon]

lmao i was gonna say goto as a troll comment 😈

[rich adder]

what are you trying to do exactly

[radiant frigate]

lmao

[rocky canyon]

ya, i wish i could see the entire code block so i can wrap my head around it

[rich adder]

did the dash thing work?

[radiant frigate]

im on the proccess

fixing some other things related (this is one of them)

https://gdl.space/ewajececor.cs

basically the raycast detects enemies and walls, so it can break if it hits a wall and take the enemies closer than the wall

[rocky canyon]

if(condition)
{
  forloop
    {
      if(secondcondition)
      {
      // you want a break here? [1]
      }
    }
  // that would skip this? [2]
}```

[radiant frigate]

indeed

[rocky canyon]

maybe someone knows.. but thats more complex than anything ive done thusfar

[rich adder]

if you want to skip the rest you need a return

[rocky canyon]

could u use a flag u set true when u first break? that returns later on?

[radiant frigate]

i see

[rich adder]

from the code you sent you should not break tho

you want to check all iterations

[rocky canyon]

true..

[radiant frigate]

if its a wall i dont want it to be considered as a possible objective, and neither any ongoing objects that are further away than the wall (behind it)

[rich adder]

if you only want to seek enemy colliders user layermasks

[radiant frigate]

yes, but then it would consider even the ones that are behind a wall if the raycast hits

[rocky canyon]

thats how i do it..

[rich adder]

true

[rocky canyon]

if u find an enemy behind a wall

then raycast a regular cast to see if its obstructed

[rich adder]

then put the enemies behind a component if statement

[radiant frigate]

so my idea was to include walls, and whenever it reaches a wall, to break the loop that goes throught the iterations

[rich adder]

no just filter out the walls

its ok to grab solid colliders, but an additional if statement in loop

[radiant frigate]

hm im understanding what you mean but im not wrapping my head completely around the idea

could you elaborate a bit pls

[rich adder]

instead of breaking you want to continue
if(!longDashHitsArray[i].collider.TryGetComponent(out Enemy enemy)) continue

this will skip doing anything below

[radiant frigate]

anything below in the same if or forloop or whatever right?

not like the whole function

[ivory bobcat]

In the loop

[rocky canyon]

the surrounding loop

[rich adder]

basically whatever is inside the loop

so the walls dont go in the part about Dot

[radiant frigate]

oh thats why the ! at the start

[rocky canyon]

not.. yea

[rich adder]

yes its same as == false

[radiant frigate]

yes ik

but i was thinking like you want that and if that is true to procced

but no, the continue skips if not true

which makes sense

[rich adder]

if its not enemy then skip this iteration

[rocky canyon]

my favorite kinda code questions

[radiant frigate]

why is that so? if i may ask

[ivory bobcat]

Best to always lookup the docs after learning something to acknowledge and thoroughly understand it
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/language-reference/statements/jump-statements#the-continue-statement

[radiant frigate]

but then i would still get the enemies that are after the wall right?

[rocky gale]

yea but i still dont understand how that works tho

[radiant frigate]

oh wait

i write it b4 the debug.log(bestObjective.gameObject.name);

so it skips in that moment

or maybe i just found a different solution

[rich adder]

RaycastNonAlloc still captures the walls

but now you're filtering further via if statement component check

[rocky canyon]

if u find another solution i'd love to hear what u came up with 👍

[radiant frigate]

i basically check the layer/tag/whatever identifier, and if its an enemy i use the debug.log in line 25

(which will not be a debug.log later on)

so its the same but inverse

i think

[rich adder]

that makes no sense why would you only be checking dot on 1 then breaking

[radiant frigate]

nono

its after the forloop ens

ends

[rich adder]

yeah

[radiant frigate]

wait that wouldnt work, because in case the wall is the bestObjective, even if there is a good objective, it wont take it into account because it will take the wall as bestObjective and not work because of the if statement

[rich adder]

yes bestObjective would never be a wall if you put that filter i told you about

component is the best method imo, but ofc layers work too

[radiant frigate]

makes sense

but im scared of component so i think ill go with layers

[rocky canyon]

tryget components are OP

u should try to learn about em if u can

[rich adder]

component is literally the script you use with enemey

[radiant frigate]

btw is there a way to have multiple colliders in a gameobject, my solution is to create a child and give it a collider, but i havent tried having 2 colliders on the same object

[rich adder]

whats scared about it

[rich adder]

they both work

[rocky canyon]

u can.. just adjust their center and size parameters

[radiant frigate]

the Enemy enemy confuses me a bit

[radiant frigate]

pog

then imma just remove the child and give it another trigger collider

[rocky canyon]

Enemy is the <Type> and enemy is just a name of the reference.. could be anything

[radiant frigate]

and what type is enemy?

[rich adder]

it is the same as writing

MyScript myEnemey = collider.GetComponent<MyScript>();
if(myEnemy != null)
//do stuff```

[rocky canyon]

out MyScript referenceOfScript

[rocky canyon]

it could be anything

ur just checking if that gameobject has a certain script/component

[radiant frigate]

oh

okey

i understnad

[rocky canyon]

and if there is one u get the reference as the out

[rich adder]

and the bool becomes try

[radiant frigate]

thats what i use for my attack https://gdl.space/jutemobayo.cs

[rich adder]

TryGetComponent returns a bool but out is the result if true

[radiant frigate]

i was just using it unsconciously lmao

[rocky canyon]

that happens sometimes 😅

[rich adder]

always has been 🧑‍🚀 🔫 🧑‍🚀

[radiant frigate]

lmao

ily guys you are a mood fr

[rocky canyon]

gotta stay sane somehow

[radiant frigate]

true

artist are uncomprehended minds

while programmers are literally sisyphus

[rocky canyon]

im more artist than coder.. so i guess im okay 🙂

[radiant frigate]

both are good

[rocky canyon]

what kinda game u making btw?

[radiant frigate]

but my artist friend told me that he is scared of programmers, because they are like sisyphus, since no one valorates their work

[radiant frigate]

i dont know how to categorize it

but i would say like a dungeon crawler mixed with hotline miami or katana 0

[rocky canyon]

well, good luck anyway 🍀 👍

[radiant frigate]

ty!

i want it to be adungeon crawler but with the high activity of hotline miami and the cool parrys and dash like katana 0

or something like that

weird mix i think

[rocky canyon]

unique is good

[radiant frigate]

yes it is

i hope i manage to make it work

[rocky canyon]

just keep learning, if u get stuck take a break re-evaluate and get back at it later

learning + developing at the same time can be very organic.. and u can end up w/ something even better than u started w/

[radiant frigate]

i will, i have a complicated situation right now since i am travelling a lot because of work (being a teenager is like being a slave) but it helps me keeping my mind fresh for when i have time to work on my project

[queen adder]

Yes probably I know, but gonna also learn along the way I developp my game, no ?

[rocky canyon]

thats the best way to learn

hands-on

[radiant frigate]

yes

theory is good, but the most valuable thing is practice

[rocky canyon]

true.. focused practice

if u practice bad habits.. u just get good at bad habits 🫠

[radiant frigate]

btw this is what we were talking about earlier right?

if(BestObjective.GetComponent<EnemyMovementScript>() != null)
{
Debug.Log(BestObjective.gameObject.name);
}

[rocky canyon]

similar

but no, we were talkin about TryGet

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

[radiant frigate]

ohhhh

i understand

but i think this also works

and since i dont need the component for anything besides checking if its true imma rock with this

[summer stump]

Well yeah, that was of course assumed.

[rocky canyon]

trygets are actually preferred over this.. even if u dont use the component

[radiant frigate]

okey

good to know

ty!

spawn camp, where you the one i talked with about ui?

[rocky canyon]

it depends on what issue u were having

[queen adder]

if (currentHealth = deathvalue)
{
Destroy(this.gameObject);
}

its telling me i cant do int into a bool asnyone got a fix?

[rocky canyon]

first off = is used for assigning values

not comparing them

[polar acorn]

Why are you trying to set currentHealth to deathValue

[radiant frigate]

can you send me some screenshots of the game you are making? (in case you are doing one)

[rocky canyon]

== is the correct comparison

[queen adder]

im brand new to coding that you

thank you

it fixed it

[vale karma]

hey nav how could i get it to stop lerping entirely once its at the target position? it seems to always be doing it after i pick it up

jittering that is, not still lerping

[radiant frigate]

yes it was with you, i remember the floating car

[queen adder]

spawn camp games you are the goat!

[radiant frigate]

you helped me with resizing my game and all that

he is indeed

[rich adder]

whats jittering?

[rocky canyon]

if( distance < a thrshold){snap it to 1)

sounds kinda sus lerping to me if its jittering

oh, i just noticed, you already know all this stuff

[vale karma]

yea one sec, i stepped away for a sec ill send a vid

https://paste.ofcode.org/9aRtLmE7kKnBepqgYXzJAR

i feel like it only enables the lerp or movement when its "used" or has been touched. Soon everything thats pick upable is gonna be jittery

[queen adder]

My game is crashing everytime I ender play mode

[teal viper]

Must be an infinite loop

[teal viper]

Does it actually crash or freeze?

[queen adder]

freeze... I just wrote a while loops

[teal viper]

Yep, sounds like an infinite loop

[queen adder]

while (isWaveGoing == 1)
{
Invoke("spawnEnemy", 2);
}

is that it?

[teal viper]

You need to make sure that the condition is changing during the loop execution

[vale karma]

increment isWaveGoing up by something until it goes over 1

[queen adder]

im brand new to coding im not 100% sure what that means

[vale karma]

While loops are pretty hard to use if your unsure how they work, I still dont use them for that reason lol

Im trying to get an enemy to spawn every 2 seconds is there a betterway to do that?

[vale karma]

a timer, or coroutine

[hazy quail]

I wish there was something like wait(4); rather than having to mess with coroutines

[queen adder]

what is a coroutines 😆

[teal viper]

That's what you can do inside of a coroutine

[vale karma]

try a timer using delta time, but its better to learn the pattern

[teal viper]

Making it possible outside of a coroutine would basically require changing the whole language and no one would appreciate that

[teal viper]

Google

[vale karma]

dlich i need ur help bigdog106

[queen adder]

so should I use a timer or a cororoutine?

[vale karma]

coroutine

[teal viper]

Trying to understand what the issue is in the video. What should I be looking at?

[queen adder]

Alright ill try to learn it

[queen adder]

Yes sure. And I'm not planning to be alone in all my journey

Just until I find a good partner on the way

[summer stump]

You seem to be taking what I said as discouragement. It was not meant to be...
As I said, it is definitely doable

[hazy quail]

make sure you don't ever destroy the object your coroutine's script is a component of. took me ages to figure out why my coroutine was never ending and it was because i was destroying the object before it finished executing

[rocky gale]

https://pst.innomi.net/paste/qf3u2utv569dozh3w5gzyp7b i followed a tutorial for flappybird and i get how the gap calculation works but i dont get why it works and why those values work can someone explain

[teal viper]

Specifically what part do you not understand?

[sharp abyss]

does anybody know how can I attach left lower arm to the weapon too but I dont want it to affect it physically.Or I can completely change the way I position sword. I use this script to rotate shoulder and elbows(elbows are only rotated when weapons are one handed)https://hatebin.com/rzpasthrvj. I tried to make weapons follow mouse cursor but couldnt.So if you know any solutions for one of these problems help pls.

some people suggested inverse kinematics but even if I watched tutorials I couldnt implement in for this character.

I got these two errors ive never seen before, and cant get rid of. I undid all the scripts past the last point of testing so im not sure what this is

[rocky gale]

i dont get why subtracting half of the size of the gap from the y of the gap gives a size for the pipe (hoop in my case)

[queen adder]

How do i turn off when I let of of the movement key the player moves slightly i want him to stop imediatly

[rich adder]

rigidbody ?
you can slow the velocity to your liking or set to 0, you can also increase the drag up a bit you would have to bump move speed too

[teal viper]

I don't know the intention behind the code,but I can assume that gapY is the position of the center of the gap, and gapSize is obviously the size of the gap. Subtracting half of the gap size from its center would give you the position where a bottom pipe would start.

[rocky gale]

wouldnt that just give you the bottom of the gap

[teal viper]

Yes. And the bottom of the gap is where the bottom pipe starts, is it not?

[rocky gale]

yes but the pivot is at the bottom

o i think i get it

[teal viper]

I'd assume it has to do with inverting the sprite. Not entirely sure. Hard to say without having access to the whole project and seeing the pivots and stuff.

[rocky gale]

its for the bottom pipe tho and its for the height so i dont get how it returns the height between the bottom of the gap and the bottom of the camera

i would think it would give you the distance from the center of the gap to the bottom of the gap

o nvm i understnad now thx

[fading mountain]

Hey guys, I know this is probably a pretty simple and elementary question but I've been completely stuck on this issue for the past couple of hours. My platformer game has three levels, and each level has 3 - 4 different rooms. I have created each room as a seperate scene and added all of them to the build settings. Then, I created a scriptable object in C# called LevelSO which just has [SerializeField] List<Object> rooms = new List<Object>();, and added the room scenes for each level to their own scriptable object. Finally, I created another scriptable object in C# called LevelListSO with a [SerializeField] List<LevelSO> levels = new List<LevelSO>(); , and added my three LevelSO scriptable objects to it. In my game manager script, I want to:

1. Get the levels[index]
2. Get the buildIndex of the first room room[0] of the selected level
3. Load the first room.
   How would I go about doing this? Is this possible? If not, what's the correct way of implementing the functionality I desire?
   Please let me know if you need the scripts themselves.

[rich adder]

where is the code question ?

[rich adder]

yes use a game manager

[fading mountain]

I have a game manager

I'm trying to figure out how to use it correctly

[rich adder]

in what way?

[summer stump]

#✨┃vfx-and-particles probably

[uneven quartz]

I'm trying to rotate my gameObject on its z axis based on the direction it traveling from the player. So if the position is left, i want it rotating to the left.
The problem is im setting the target position after it gets spawned, and it seems to always to default to left.

if (targetEnemy != null)
{
    Vector3 directionToEnemy = targetEnemy.transform.position - Player.Instance.transform.position;
    float dot = Vector3.Dot(directionToEnemy, Player.Instance.transform.position);

    rotationSpeed = (dot < 0) ? 360f : -360f;

    transform.Rotate(new Vector3(0, 0, rotationSpeed * Time.deltaTime));
}

is where I'm at now, but it seems be choosing a rotation at random honestly. Any help or direction would be great.

Currently these are my scripts that I explained in my message above. I know I'm not doing it correctly because of this error message relating to LevelSO.cs line 18 ||" 'Object' does not contain a definition for 'buildIndex' and no accessible extension method 'buildIndex' accepting a first argument of type 'Object' could be found "|| but I have been tirelessly trying any change I can think of the past few hours to implement this functionality and can't !code

ah okay, sorry about that

[eternal needle]

well your rotation speed is always 360 or -360. So itll have to choose one, if the dot is 0 itll still be -360

[rich adder]

you should not name a class Object

thats already 2 specific base classes that exist

UnityEngine.Object and System.Object

[rotund bronze]

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;

[Serializable]
public struct LevelData
{
    public string sceneName;
    public List<string> roomSceneNameList;
}

public class SceneManager : MonoBehaviour
{
    [SerializeField] private LevelData _levelData =new();

}

maybe u can try something like this

[uneven quartz]

I've tried a lot of other ways of getting the direction to the enemy position, and had never come across the Dot function before so was trying it.
it says 0 is only when the objects are perpendicular, which shouldn't happen that often with the random spawning, but maybe that is the issue.
would there be a simpler way of figuring out if an object's destination if going to be traveling -/+ on the x axis?

[fading mountain]

So how would I make a list of Scenes? if I use [SerializeField] List<Scene> then the elements of the array show up blank in the inspector with no way to drag on a scene

[rotund bronze]

https://github.com/starikcetin/Eflatun.SceneReference

u can use string if u eant

want

[fading mountain]

I'm not familiar with structs yet. How should I go about implementing this

[rich adder]

Try not to use reserved class names. Unity already has a struct named Scene

[queen adder]

Thanks I figured it out I needed to use GetInputRaw instead of GetInput

[fading mountain]

thanks for the info. that looks very useful, although the only thing I'm not sure about is that it says on the page that you can only access a scene reference if the scene is loaded?

so does that mean I can only access the current scene?

[uneven quartz]

okay, i think i found out where i was wrong lol. I was using my player's transform.position for the Dot method, but using the player.transform.right has it rotating in the way i expected it to.

[rotund bronze]

pretty sure a scene can be accesible as long as it is in the build settings and is enabled

[fading mountain]

Alright then I think the plugin should work. I'll install it and follow up with you about how it goes shortly. Thanks!

[rotund bronze]

struct is just a different version of class and if u use the code it will give u something like this in inspector where it lets u to put in the scene name and the list of room it have where u can access it later

u might want a list/array of level data tho instead of just one

well better approach might be having serialized dictionary of level dictionary where u have the scne as key and list of room scene as value

https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/utilities/serialized-dictionary-243052 using something like this

[echo hamlet]

I am working on a fishing game and I would like to implement a system of animations that looks like Roblox fishing sim (You can cast the rod and still move around) I already have movement sussed and it just runs off a blend tree like so:
I don't really know what to do next. Any Idea what I sould do?

Here is my controller script and what is the begining of the fishing logic

[frosty hound]

@echo hamlet Please don't crosspost. You can leave your question here.

[echo hamlet]

Ok

apologies

[thorn lake]

I'm not sure if I should have posted my question in this channel instead but I posted something in #↕️┃editor-extensions message that might maybe belong here instead.

[thorn lake]

Additional question:

I'm following a tutorial and have noticed that his code does not contain the "0 references" indicators. Is that just a setting one can turn on and off?

[languid spire]

yes it is

[thorn lake]

Thanks.

@young warren

(In reference to the help/answer you gave me here #↕️┃editor-extensions message so we can continue in the proper channel)

I already followed the steps there previously to asking my Q but that's exactly the issue: Having the Visual Studio Code set as my External Script Editor and having the Visual Studio Editor's package installed in the Package Manager did not resolve the issue and I'm unsure how to proceed. Everything it up to date.

I've also tried deleting the scripts, closing everything, and reopening everything

Anyone know of anything else I can try to get my IDE to autocomplete code if those steps did not work?

I've got 3 questions right now:

1. The above question.
   2. How does one post code here in that easy-to-view format that others were using before my comments? (Q2 answered)
2. I completed code that should have shown a grid of "rooms" appearing on my Scene window but the rooms did not appear. Assuming everything was coded correctly, what else could be the issue? (I did not have any compiling error messages in Unity, Unity loaded the new code fine, and I was copying a tutorial's code).

Below is my code and a photo of what I *should * be seeing in my Scene (but am not):

Do I need to be using ".NET SDKs?"

[glass aurora]

where to get knowledge and hlep about assets?

[languid spire]

do not cross post

[winter tinsel]

im flabbergasted

it should rotate on the z axis right?

by "angle"

that angle is the same angle that the rigid body turns

problem

it only rotates if i click fast enough???

what is going on??

and even then it doesnt rotate right

the first row is supposed to be me clicking in bigger invervals and the big smorgasboard in the middle is me clicking rapidly

you can see it rotates SOMETIMES

[rapid bone]

@winter tinsel how can i make a clicker game

[winter tinsel]

do not ask me lol i am near beginner

[winter tinsel]

i suggest game makers toolkit

he has a really good unity starter tutorial

ok done, do i just paste the link?

[winter tinsel]

https://paste.ofcode.org/EtNqciU4DA74rCQCuRqKxN

[slender nymph]

float angle = Mathf.Atan2(look.y, look.x) * Mathf.Rad2Deg -  90;
transform.Rotate(0, 0, angle);

you are rotating by that amount but that should be the current angle.
also if the object faces up when not rotated at all you can just set transform.up to look, or if it faces right when not rotated you'd assign to transform.right, no need for that extra math.
also you could just use the (targetPosition - currentPosition) as the direction from this object to the target rather than the InverseTransformPoint call

[winter tinsel]

thats not the problem

the problem is in the instantiate code

the last argument just wont work

the one that calls the rotation

it "works"

but only if i click fast enough??

[slender nymph]

well for starters, is there a reason that you are using Unity.Mathematics.quaternion instead of just UnityEngine.Quaternion? (not that it would make much difference, but like why are you doing that)

[winter tinsel]

to jsut match the "transform.Rotate(0, 0, angle)"

cause then it should be the same thing, a rotation around the z axis

unless theres some difference between degree rotation and euler angles

[slender nymph]

that's not what i asked but okay

[winter tinsel]

the reason is so i can simplify it for myself by just doing the same thing

also

[slender nymph]

that doesn't answer the question i actually asked

[winter tinsel]

i dont understand quaternions lol

[slender nymph]

but it is inconsequential. so since you clearly don't understand what i asked don't worry about it

but just try what i first suggested and use transform.rotation instead of creating a quaternion from that angle you calculated (since it isn't going to actually match the rotation of the ship for the reason i already pointed out)

[winter tinsel]

ok so the position of the projectile - the position of the target is a vector2 right?

[slender nymph]

it's a Vector3

[winter tinsel]

okay

so i can just assign say uh

[slender nymph]

but you're not getting the position of the projectile. you're using the position of the ship, no? becuase this is the "shipscript"

[winter tinsel]

yes but look in the instantiate code

the position of the projectile will be equal to the position of the ship

thats where it starts

then i need the right rotation (towards the mouse) and add the speed

[slender nymph]

your entire issue is that your ship is not rotated the way you expect it is

[winter tinsel]

the target is actually the mouse

no

its the projectile

[slender nymph]

yes

[winter tinsel]

the ship rotates fine

when i try to use the same code of the ship

for the projectile

things get whacky

i changed the sprite of the projectile to the ship for troubleshooting

[slender nymph]

quaternion.EulerXYZ(0, 0, angle) this does not produce the same rotation that your ship is at because you are not rotating the ship correctly. you rotate by the angle rather than setting the ships current rotation to the angle

so fix the ship's rotation like i suggested then you just use transform.rotation as the rotation for the instantiated object

[frank zodiac]

the BEST way to make a ground check in unity2d? raycast? ontriggerstay? physics2d.overlapcircle? i dont know which one to choose

[slender nymph]

there's hardly ever a "best" way to do something. but physics queries like raycasts and overlapcircles are going to be better/more reliable than trigger messages

[frank zodiac]

i guess ill just use raycast

[slender nymph]

note that a raycast has no volume so if you only raycast from the center of the object straight down it will only be considered grounded if the exact center of the object is over ground, so if the center is just ever so slightly off the ground, but you still have a decent amount of surface area touching ground it won't actually be considered grounded. you could use more than one raycast, or some cast with volume

or if that behavior is perfectly acceptable then a single raycast would be fine

[waxen adder]

I recall seeing in some projects that people have all of their script variables organized into neat sections in the editor. How do they do that?

i.e.
Movement:

speed
velocity

[slender nymph]

custom inspectors or attributes like Header, Space, etc

[waxen adder]

Ah, gotcha

[slender nymph]

there are also third party libraries that implement a bunch of organizational attributes for the inspector like NaughtyAttributes and OdinInspector

[waxen adder]

Will have to look into those, getting some more organization into the editor is something i like

[thin summit]

hi, just a question. do you guys use some generic movement system or your own?

[slender nymph]

you use whatever makes the most sense for your project

[thin summit]

i just need a simple wasd first person movement :D

[hexed terrace]

Use the Unity FPS starter asset from the store

[slender nymph]

there are also dozens of tutorials for that

[thin summit]

well this is what i found

i think im goind with the modular fps controller

since it is free

[waxen adder]

What are the different ways to detect the beginning of collision? I know there's OnTriggerEnter and OnCollisionEnter. Any others?

[hexed terrace]

the specifc one I suggeted is free, it's made by Unity.

[thin summit]

couldnt find it :/

[hexed terrace]

https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/essentials/starterassets-firstperson-updates-in-new-charactercontroller-pac-196525

[winter tinsel]

wait actually why is that an issue? not setting the rotation to that but rotating by that amount?

wherever i am on the screen the ship has no issue rotating

the ship and the projectile both look up at start

[slender nymph]

let's say your ship is currently pointed to 90 degrees on the Z axis. if the angle is 90 degress, rather than just not rotating it would rotate by 90 degrees

[winter tinsel]

OH

amazing

[slender nymph]

all you really need to do is this:
transform.up = target.transform.position - transform.position;

[winter tinsel]

wait cant i just somehow find a way to nullify it?

[eager spindle]

would fingerID always be equal to i in this case?

im finding a way to see if the current touch is over a UI object before raycasting into world space

[slender nymph]

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Touch-fingerId.html

However, the array index is not guaranteed to be the same from one frame to the next. The fingerId value, however, consistently refers to the same touch across frames. This ID value is very useful when analysing gestures and is more reliable than identifying fingers by their proximity to previous position, etc.

[eager spindle]

🫡

[winter tinsel]

ok that works, what about in instantiate?

[slender nymph]

use transform.rotation for the rotation like i told you earlier

[thin summit]

unity outdone themselves on this one... the materials

[eager spindle]

today I learned about touch.phase; I didn't need to make a check for when the first touch is made

[winter tinsel]

finally

thanks

[slender nymph]

this is a code channel. but it looks like you've probably switched render pipelines without converting your materials to use shaders that are compatible with the pipeline you've chosen

[winter tinsel]

now if i just give it forward velocity itll keep going in the direction of its current rotation right?

[thin summit]

i have no idea what you just said except for the first sentece. this is imported from a unity starterpack asset

[slender nymph]

not forward, you want to give it velocity along its transform.up axis

[winter tinsel]

what

[slender nymph]

forward is along the Z axis. but the projectile points along its Y axis. you're in 2d so if it starts moving along z you won't actually see it moving

[slender nymph]

you should start with the pathways on the unity !learn site to learn how to use the engine.
but the asset you've downloaded is not made for the render pipeline your project uses so it needs to be converted

Is it normal for an object to collide with itself?

I could do some filtering to make sure something isn't colliding with itself, but want to make sure

[slender nymph]

a collider won't collide with itself but that doesn't mean that colliders on child objects can't collide with the parents or vice versa

[waxen adder]

The child objects of the one I'm messing with don't have colliders at all. I even have debugs firing off saying that it's colliding with itself for some reason

[fickle karma]

Hello im stuck at reloading domain in unity on my macbook pro. Tried switching to another wifi. Tried deleting temp and library files. Its a consistent error anytime i try to go into play mode. I recently wiped my drive because of another issue in unity. Redownloaded the hub, editor 3.8f1, recloned the project from github desktop, and setup ide for visual studio code. Im at a loss. someone help me please. Still no official solution on this huge problem refering to https://forum.unity.com/threads/getting-stuck-on-domain-reload.1377126/

Still have not tried to move everything to another clean project, cause im looking for another potential fix. Last time i asked about this, i got no help, so please i would appreciate if someone could help me

[slender nymph]

if you disable domain reloading does it still get stuck?

[fickle karma]

its disabled by default

[slender nymph]

no it isn't

[waxen adder]

This is everything I believe is relevant to the problem. If you need more info, let me know

[fickle karma]

mine was, tried to enable it, didnt help

[slender nymph]

no it wasn't. just because the box is not ticked doesn't mean it is disabled, the Enter Play Mode Options box needs to be ticked and Reload Domain needs to be unticked. otherwise it is enabled

But if the editor still gets stuck with that disabled then most likely you have an infinite loop in your code

[fickle karma]

oh ok ill give it a go, but if this solution works, and i cannot reload domain, that means i cannot update inspector/code etc correct?

[slender nymph]

Change that last log to this and show what it prints:
Debug.Log($"{name} ({GetInstanceID()}) is colliding with {other.collider.name} ({other.collider.GetInstanceID()})");

[slender nymph]

well no, that's not what disabling that does. but if that does fix it somehow, then you'll need to read this page to learn about how disabling domain reload will affect your project and the extra work you'll need to do: https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/DomainReloading.html

[waxen adder]

Erm, having trouble with the syntax there. Do you mean this?

Debug.Log(this.gameObject.GetInstanceID() + " is colliding with: " + other.collider.gameObject.name);

[slender nymph]

no, literally just copy/paste what i provided

i did just edit it to fix something though so try now

[waxen adder]

Oh, weird

This happens exactly twice in the logs btw

[slender nymph]

are the numbers swapped in the other one

[waxen adder]

I recall this is a tell tale sign of... something wrong with how I'm doing the collisions.

No, they're different?

[languid spire]

it means a prefab is colliding with a game object

[slender nymph]

yeah but that doesn't make any sense at all because prefabs don't exist in the scene so they cannot collide

[fickle karma]

Ok it fixed my issue. have one question when reading this link. does all prefabs count as static?

[slender nymph]

one thing i will point out that is wrong with your setup is the use of both a CharacterController and a Rigidbody on the same object, they don't play well together and you shouldn't need both

[slender nymph]

the information about statics not being reset is referring to static members in your code and has pretty much nothing at all to do with prefabs

[waxen adder]

Ah, I had a feeling that would be the case. Originally used the character controller to handle movement, but wanted to use things like OnCollisionEnter and OnTriggerEnter, which needs rigidbodies and colliders

[slender nymph]

the charactercontroller has its own collision message, and it can also work with OnTriggerEnter

Hey, Sir i expect that you will guide me to learn C# properly and i hope you dont act like others... just tell me is that video okay for the first

[frosty hound]

1. Does your shield script have a IsShieldActive property?

2. If you are checking if something is false, you use ==

3. You can't put your OnTriggerEnter function inside another function. It's inside of your Update function right now.

          }

  }

okay so i am trying to save my highscore using this code but its not RUNNING like compiler just skip LevelRecords() funtion

[hollow vault]

is it your first time unity and c#?

[halcyon geyser]

public GameObject Shield;

public void Start()
{
  Shield.GetComponent<ShieldScript>().ToggleShield();
}

[slender nymph]

the only reason this code would not run is if the component is not enabled and on an active object in the scene or you have exceptions in your console that you are ignoring

[halcyon geyser]

For example

[languid spire]

You expect wrong, I'm not even sure why you would expect that. As for tutorials, I have no idea, I do not do tutorials

[glass aurora]

yep i just learn the all basics of unity everything just wanna learn scripitng

[halcyon geyser]

https://learn.unity.com/project/roll-a-ball
Use this, good luck!

[broken cargo]

You can have script references just fine, it's even recommended to do so

[glass aurora]

well just say i dont understand your message dont say anything without gaining knowledge about that... i was saying that is this website and course okay

[glass aurora]

it can teach me all the basics?

[halcyon geyser]

yes

[glass aurora]

i am ashamed tho dont wanna roll a ballllll i wanna make games AHEM AHEM well well well i should learn everything everyone started from that stage am i right?

[halcyon geyser]

correct

[copper matrix]

so i corrected the == thing but the rest i dont really understand. I sent the whole script in the first message

[glass aurora]

okay so what to do here

[halcyon geyser]

everyone started there

[copper matrix]

like the right one

[halcyon geyser]

So nothing to be ashamed off

[broken cargo]

I'd recommend you starting with plain C# without Unity first

[slender nymph]

the underlined error in your code is due to a misspelling

[hollow vault]

i just attached my unity to observe but i saw all other scripts is working just fine and logical error is occuring as you know its the most difficult shit to find i don't know why its not working

[slender nymph]

well is the component attached to a gameobject in the scene?

[glass aurora]

well dont talk about unity ...

i know how to use unity if i dont there is alot of tutorials about unity not on c#

[copper matrix]

its wriiten write but i think its due the missing connection

[slender nymph]

no it isn't. it is misspelled

[hollow vault]

you have to even i started with roll a ball just go with flow also watch tutorials but not that much search on google on i.e i want to know current scene search the code on google and see all other things . but i think you should see BRACKEY GAME TUTORIAL

[copper matrix]

the scripts are on a different gameobject if its important and i copy pasted it and its still wrong

[glass aurora]

can i follow the all steps to roll the ball?? or just learn on website means can i execute after learning

[halcyon geyser]

its misspelled

capital I

[slender nymph]

that has nothing to do with what i said. show me where in your code you have declared a public variable or property called IsShieldActive on the Shield class

[hollow vault]

let me tell you first just understand what they doing do it step by step. then give yourself challenge like making menu or loading specific. as i said go with flow you will learn it your self

[slender nymph]

I do not see a variable or property called IsShieldActive here

[sage mirage]

Hey, guys! I am making a First-Person Horror game and I am dealing with a serious in my opinion issue. It is related with character controller and how to move actually the player down the stairs. Is there someone available to help me because I will have to create a thread?

[broken cargo]

isShieldActive != IsShieldActive

[hollow vault]

sure

[slender nymph]

this is a code channel. also you'd need to provide some actual details

[solemn wraith]

Aight, I was about to edit the above message. Do you think it would be appropriate to post in #💻┃unity-talk . Sorry bout this

[slender nymph]

there or #📲┃ui-ux which is likely the most appropriate channel for the question

[solemn wraith]

okay, thank you

[copper matrix]

what can i do against the 3.

[frosty hound]

Move the function outside of the Update function

[fervent abyss]

erm... im trying to disable "Allow unsafe code" in project settings but... it doesnt uncheck.. 💀 i keep getting "Build interrupted" error

[frosty hound]

public class MyClass : MonoBehaviour
{
    private void Update ()
    {

    }

    private void OnTriggerEnter (...)
    {
    
    }
}

[copper matrix]

? like this

[frosty hound]

You just put it inside of another function

It needs to be on its own

[copper matrix]

but it should only be running while im dashing

should i do it with a bool?

[cyan holly]

i had a project on unity version control. So i wanted to work on my new PC so i donwloaded unity on it and opened my project on that PC however the download is taking so long its been 2 hrs is this normal?

[frosty hound]

I don't know what that has to do with dashing, but if you want the trigger to only handle code if you're dashing then yes you would check if IsDashing inside of the function.

[copper matrix]

so the player is running normaly, but when he is dashing he should do the dmg. when not the player itself should die yk

but im too stupid do it like i think i cant connect these 2 scripts

[copper matrix]

like i think this is the problem i cant fix because i just dont know how

[slender nymph]

no what they said was incorrect

[broken cargo]

This is not a problem

[halcyon geyser]

yeah no sorry

[slender nymph]

you need to read what Osteel has told you

[copper matrix]

i dont understand what osteel is saying tbh

started programming like a week ago

[slender nymph]

OnTriggerEnter2D should not be nested inside of another method

and you can put a boolean condition inside of that method if you only want its contents to run in a specific circumstance

[languid spire]

look at this #💻┃code-beginner message and then at what you did

[copper matrix]

its still wrong but is it the right way to start

[frank zodiac]

so as you can see, my character has a bit of delay when he hits the ground and also when he walks. im using a raycast to check if its grounded. how do i fix this?

[languid spire]

it's better than what you had, yes

Note the difference

[copper matrix]

its still not working

so it kinda is cause he dies but he dies when i dont dash, he dies when i dont throw the shuriken he just always dies

on my shield script its printing tho

[languid spire]

So now you have the structure of the code correct =, you need to start debugging

[copper matrix]

can i ask for a bool status in update?

[languid spire]

that question makes no sense

[copper matrix]

sth like print(Bool Status)

so i know every frame if the bool is true or false

[languid spire]

do you have a variable called status?

[copper matrix]

i have a bool calles isShieldActive

[languid spire]

then, yes, you can Debug.Log that in update

[copper matrix]

how

Debug.Log(isShieldActive);

[languid spire]

Debug.Log($"isShieldActive {isShieldActive}");

[slender nymph]

you'll need to provide relevant code for help with this. #854851968446365696

[frank zodiac]

https://hatebin.com/yrnzifqhle

[slender nymph]

well it looks like the issue is probably that you are trying to get input inside of FixedUpdate, but i don't have any info on what InputManager.GetInstance().GetJumpPressed() is doing

[frank zodiac]

get jump pressed() simply just returns a bool value of if the jump button was pressed

[frank zodiac]

so i should get the input in update but handle physics in fixedupdate?

[slender nymph]

typically yes. but it also depends on how you are handling the input in the first place

simply saying "GetJumpPressed returns a bool" isn't helpful at all with regards to explaining how the input is actually being polled

[frank zodiac]

its using "invoke unity events" with a player input component

public void JumpPressed(InputAction.CallbackContext context)
{
    if (context.performed)
    {
        jumpPressed = true;
    }
    else if (context.canceled)
    {
        jumpPressed = false;
    }
}

[slender nymph]

then that should be just fine. you need to actually do some debugging to find out what is happening

[frank zodiac]

private void Update()
{
    if (IsGrounded() && InputManager.GetInstance().GetJumpPressed())
    {
        canJump = true;
    }
    else
    {
        canJump = false;
    }

    animator.SetBool("isJumping", !IsGrounded());
    if (!Mathf.Approximately(rigibody2d.velocity.x, 0f))
    {
        animator.SetBool("isWalking", true);
    }
    else
    {
        animator.SetBool("isWalking", false);
    }
}

private void FixedUpdate()
{
    velocity = new Vector2(xVelocity * InputManager.GetInstance().GetMove1Value(), rigibody2d.velocity.y);
    rigibody2d.velocity = velocity;

    if (canJump)
    {
        rigibody2d.AddForce(new Vector2(0.0f, yVelocity), ForceMode2D.Impulse);
    }
}

here, i split them up into FixedUpdate and Update, should that help?

or does it not make a difference

[slender nymph]

you need to actually do some debugging to find out what is happening

[frank zodiac]

what should i debug exactly though?

[slender nymph]

anything relevant. make sure that everything is in the state you expect it to be

[frank zodiac]

debug a raycast?

[slender nymph]

yes obviously that is something that would be relevant to your issue

[frank zodiac]

👍

but how do i debug a raycast and set a specific height for it

because it doesnt let me set a height it just goes on forever

[slender nymph]

did you look at the docs for Debug.DrawRay?

<@&502884371011731486> spam

[languid spire]

<@&502884371011731486>

[frank zodiac]

i looked at the thing in visual studio that shows you the necessary parameters

[slender nymph]

try looking at the documentation so you can see how it actually works

[frank zodiac]

ok

[frank zodiac]

oihhhhhh. direction AND length

didnt know that

thanks

[vast vessel]

mb, fixed it

I didn't know that was a thing, sorry

[slender nymph]

you're also still not providing all of the relevant context. there is nothing you've shown that would actually cause unity to freeze. you don't even have any loops or recursive methods (at least that we can see). so you need to provide all of the context. not just what you think it is

[sleek gazelle]

Hi, can someone please help me? Why using forward or left Vector2s in the path object makes my editor freeze?
https://hastebin.com/share/dihequpoba.java

[vast vessel]

push

[sleek gazelle]

I don't have any recursive method

[frank zodiac]

how can i make something happen every 1 to 2 minutes in unity

is there any other way beside coroutines

[slender nymph]

either a coroutine or a timer in update

[frank zodiac]

wait nvm i forgot about InvokeRepeating

haha

[slender nymph]

that's one of the worst ways tbh. but i suppose it's technically an option, yes

[raven token]

I cant really see anything wrong with this, have you narrowed down what part exactly makes unity crash? Like are you sure its the setting of those vectors?

[sleek gazelle]

Yes

If I just use Vector2.forward it works

[slender nymph]

you should try some proper debugging instead of trying random things. you can attach the debugger and break all when it freezes then inspect what the main thread is doing to see where it is actually getting stuck

[frank zodiac]

why is it bad?

[sleek gazelle]

But I need to use forward which is a Vector2 in the path direction

[sleek gazelle]

Ok I'll try to understand how the debugger works

[slender nymph]

it uses reflection to call the method, you have to rely on the string name of the method so no local methods, no parameters. stopping it is not nearly as nice as with a coroutine

[slender nymph]

https://unity.huh.how/debugging/debugger

[frank zodiac]

oh i see. i assume i cant input a coroutine name into the string?

in that case i will have to use a for loop

[slender nymph]

i don't know wtf you mean by that

[sleek gazelle]

Thanks

[frank zodiac]

i mean instead of it being a function name its a coroutine name. will it work like that?

InvokeRepeating("MyCoroutine", 1f, 5f)

[slender nymph]

coroutines are functions. but you cannot start a coroutine with InvokeRepeating because it doesn't actually start the coroutine

[frank zodiac]

yeah thats what i thought

thanks

for (int i = 0; true; i++)
{
    yield return new WaitForSeconds(Random.Range(90f, 120f));
    StartCoroutine(InitializationCoroutine());
}

would this line of code be any dangerous?

[polar acorn]

Well for one, there's no reason it shouldn't be a while (true) loop instead of a for. If this is the InitializationCoroutine then yes it would indeed be a problem

[frank zodiac]

why though? i want it to spawn an enemy every 90 to 120 seconds

i was thinking of calling it in the update function

[polar acorn]

So, is this in the InitializationCoroutine then?

[frank zodiac]

No its in another coroutine called SpawnRandomly that I call every frame

[gaunt ice]

you can just run the code
you dont need another startcoroutine

[polar acorn]

Okay, so then this timer is fine. It can just also be a while loop

[frank zodiac]

true. thanks!

[pliant sleet]

Should I use object pooling as a beginner ?

[slender nymph]

yes, why would being a beginner mean you shouldn't?

[pliant sleet]

maybe the fact that I don't really understand what it does behind

[slender nymph]

so learn?

[pliant sleet]

idk if i will understand it but i ll try

[frosty hound]

You had to know it in some way to even ask the question of using it though?

[pliant sleet]

a little bit

[sleek gazelle]

I found, I had forgotten to normalize the vector so sometimes it made super long road which can be really laggy while it's creating the mesh

[sage mirage]

Hey, guys! I am making character controller movement and for one reason I am getting a bug when I am getting downwards the stairs. What issue is it because I think I have no collider there at that altitude, where my player actually is.

[rich adder]

cant even tell whats going on here. do your character even have gravity ?

[sage mirage]

Of course! I am handling movement with character controller actually and I am applying gravity as well. Wanna see the code?

[rich adder]

wouldn't hurt

[sage mirage]

Btw, I don't think it is a coding issue because it happens only at that place. alright wait

[rocky canyon]

rogue collider perhaps

[sage mirage]

Check from different perspective

I have changed player position

[rocky canyon]

yea the collider there is obviously the problem u can see it

[sage mirage]

The mesh collider I have?

[rocky canyon]

yea, from the middle floor

goes down to the bottom of the stairs

[rich adder]

oh its because of convex

[rich adder]

there is a pretty steep angle you dont see it

[rocky canyon]

ur player is rock-climbing

[sage mirage]

I did everything I have unchecked the colliders to see how it behaves the same thing

Give me a sec

[rocky canyon]

nope, its def the collider

[sage mirage]

I will send the code

[rocky canyon]

100 %

[sage mirage]

Do you think I have to make my own box collider and change its rotation and put it there

[rocky canyon]

you could do that yes

since the stairs butt up against a wall it should be fine

[sage mirage]

I did that for all game objects inside the house btw

Otherwise my player couldn't move on floors etc

[rocky canyon]

its only odd-shaped colliders that act out

b/c convex wraps around the out-most sticking edges like bubble wrap

[sage mirage]

https://hatebin.com/hbzuyjbtdf

[sage mirage]

Here is the code btw for player movement

Btw for my upper stairs it works fine

[rocky canyon]

for stairs i tend to use ramp pieces and hide the mesh-renderer and put them inside the stairs

[languid spire]

lol, which is why we dont use unity physics for 3D tetris

[sage mirage]

Ramp pieces you mean to make my own right?

[rocky canyon]

theres prototype kits i use from the asset store

https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/3d/prototyping-pack-free-94277

these here

that way, my stairs look like stairs.. but the collider is actually nice and smooth

[sage mirage]

Btw, I ve changed from mesh collider to my own box collider place it there and the same happens

I really saw everything there is no box collider there somewhere

[rocky canyon]

im not exactly sure its a collider that u think it is. b/c that video u shown w/ the stairs gone the issue was still there

[sage mirage]

I did ctrl + a to view everything there is no collider

Do you think it is a coding issue?

I don't have any code except that I sent you

[rocky canyon]

🤔 i dont think soo tbh w/ u

[sage mirage]

That's my player controller

[rocky canyon]

if it was a code issue it would happen more frequently.. (not just in one area of the house)

[sage mirage]

I stuck on that bro 2 days I really can't find it out

I am going to other places as well to see if that happens somewhere else

[rocky canyon]

    public void MovePlayer()
    {
        if (RoundManager.instance.currentState == GameState.playing)
        {
            float horizontal = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal");
            float vertical = Input.GetAxis("Vertical");

            if (characterController.isGrounded)
            {
                velocity.y = -1f;
            }
            else
            {
                velocity.y -= gravity * -2f * Time.deltaTime;
            }

            Vector3 moveDirection = transform.TransformDirection(horizontal, 0f, vertical);
            Vector3 finalMovement = moveDirection * playerSpeed + velocity;
            characterController.Move(finalMovement * Time.deltaTime);

            Debug.Log(characterController.isGrounded);
        }
    }```

you can try adding a debug at teh end like i did here.. and see if ur player is grounded when he's floating like that (my guess is that it is)

[rich adder]

jesus...

[rocky canyon]

no need to be scared.. convex colliders wont hurt u

[sage mirage]

It says true that it is grounded actually

I found out that there are other places that it does that not only one

[rich adder]

you still floating ? did you try raycasting to see whats under you ?

[sage mirage]

Never used that

What is raycasting?

[rich adder]

its a way to detect colliders

[sage mirage]

ok how to use that programmatically?

[rich adder]

if(Physics.Raycast(transform.position, Vector3.down, out var hit)
Debug.Log(hit.name)

very basic example

[polar acorn]

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

[sage mirage]

So, can I write it inside my move player method for example?

or do i have to create another function

[rocky canyon]

u can put it in update to run it every frame..

[sage mirage]

ok

How it behaves?

[rocky canyon]

then debug the hit like @rich adder mentioned

[sage mirage]

I mean what I am going to see

[rocky canyon]

well in this example

[sage mirage]

oh ok

[rocky canyon]

you'll see the object w/ the collider's name

[rich adder]

might need to filter out the player collider too

[rocky canyon]

nah, it shouldn't hit it from within its origin

don't quote me on that tho

[sage mirage]

ssets\Scripts\Game\PlayerController.cs(24,27): error CS1061: 'RaycastHit' does not contain a definition for 'name' and no accessible extension method 'name' accepting a first argument of type 'RaycastHit' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

I got an error btw

[polar acorn]

So, check the documentation I sent and see what fields RaycastHit actually has

[sage mirage]

I just copy paste what the other guy told me XD

[rocky canyon]

ya, i think u should use hit.gameObject.name

in the debug

[sage mirage]

oh ok

no it doesn't work

It should be a game object?

[rocky canyon]

u checked digiholics doc page he sent yet?

[sage mirage]

Yeah

[glad rune]

i change the start color of this particle in the particle generator with the script. It does change the color but the particles dont
spawn for some reason, if the color isnt changed it spawns normaly

[rocky canyon]

hit.collider.name i believe

had to check my code for a second

[sage mirage]

Oh I find it out

I had a box collider on a fench actually

[rocky canyon]

try it out 👍 all good learning stuff for u to just try stuff

[sage mirage]

Outside the house

[rocky canyon]

i bet u that was it

it went from the outside through the house to theother side of hte fence

[sage mirage]

yes

[rocky canyon]

wrapped the entire fence in a box (like plastic wrap) 😉

[sage mirage]

It was something like that

[rocky canyon]

yes! thats it

[dapper sparrow]

Hello everyone, I'm trying to update my android app target api level from 33 to 34 and I don't understand what's going wrong while building.. do you guys know please?
(Error messages in the console*)

[rocky canyon]

good detective skills mate 👍

[sage mirage]

Btw thanks for that method I will be using it from now

[rich adder]

haha this is why we try not convex everything..

[soft lotus]

How do i find the center of an object that has it's pivot off center?

[rich adder]

get the center of the bounds

[soft lotus]

Im trying to do a melee attack system, and for that i use an overlap box, the same shape as sprite

[rocky canyon]

^ bounds /2

[soft lotus]

Okay, thanks, it worked!

[rich adder]

bounds has a center property too no?

[rocky canyon]

idk lol

[soft lotus]

yeah

[rich adder]

lmao

[rocky canyon]

im not a 2D player

[rich adder]

ah ok yeah it does
https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Bounds-center.html

[rocky canyon]

TIL thanks 🙂

[rich adder]

just double checking :p

[rocky canyon]

im guessing center is just bounds/2 in the background

maybe some absolute values too idk

[rich adder]

yeah probably too lazy to open up vs rn to go through bounds struct lol

[rocky canyon]

same 😄 im trying to put together an itenerary for the week 😬

[rocky canyon]

u use GUI right?

[rich adder]

as in the GUI class ye?

[rocky canyon]

using UnityEngine;
using SPWN;

public class WriteOnScreen : MonoBehaviour
{
    public string msg = "THE-KIT - v0.0.1 - 2024";
    public Color textColor = Color.cyan;

    [HideInInspector]public int textSize = 24;
    [HideInInspector]public Vector2 screenSize = new Vector2(1000, 200);
    [HideInInspector]public Vector2 offset = new Vector2(40, 40);

    private void OnGUI() {
           Utils.RealtimeDebug(msg, offset, textSize, textColor, screenSize);
    }
}
``` yea i have this code that lets me debug stuff on screen real quick

wait let me find Utils.RealtimeDebug

[rich adder]

ahh yeah that class

only when I use OnGUI yea

[rocky canyon]

      public static void RealtimeDebug(string text, Vector2 position, int fontSize, Color textColor, Vector2 widthHeight)
        {
            GUIStyle style = new GUIStyle(GUI.skin.label);
            style.fontSize = fontSize;
            style.normal.textColor = textColor;


            // Draw the text with the adjusted position and calculated size
            Rect rect = new Rect(position.x, position.y, widthHeight.x, widthHeight.y);
            GUI.Label(rect, text, style);
        }```

i was just wondering how i could scale it w/ the viewport

[rich adder]

Ohh nice. Is there a benefit to this instead of UGUI ?

I feel like thats where the Canvas shines here

[rocky canyon]

not sure.. ur probably right

[rich adder]

I feel like the UGUI is much easier you can even make prefabs thats why
yeah for quick debug i feel like ONGUI is good but anything else I just use canvas esp for designers

[rocky canyon]

as u can see i'd have to get teh viewport size and scale it

ahh okay.. thats probably what i'll do instead

[rich adder]

#archived-unity-gaming-services

[limber marlin]

sorry

[rich adder]

all good

though I would suggest using Git instead of PlastiSCM

• github.com

[limber marlin]

Wait what is PlastiSCM?

I'm trying to use Github right now

[rich adder]

Unity aquired it back in the day and renamed it to Unity version Control

but we all know the truth

subpar VC solution

there is a reason GIT is so popular 🙂

[rocky canyon]

#Savage

[limber marlin]

Ah, I'm going to avoid that like hell because Git is the superior option

[rich adder]

the only benefit to the unity one is the in editor gui and "locking" a file like a scene for example

[limber marlin]

...wait so Git for Unity is PlastiSCM?

[rocky canyon]

i cant put my finger on it.. but soething about pulling and pushing form within the project im working in seems a bit sketchy to me

id much rather use an external tool to pull and update before i launch

[rich adder]

basically it got aquired yes

its not based on GIT

[limber marlin]

what.

[summer stump]

No

[limber marlin]

Yeah that's what I thought

[rich adder]

Differences can be summarized as: improvements in merge, native support for large files and projects, optional file-locking, can work distributed and centralized. There are differences in the branching structure too: while in Git branches are just pointers, in Plastic branches are containers. Plastic versions directories and files identifying them with "item ids" which is good for move/rename tracking, while Git relies on diffs to rebuild the renames/moves and doesn't version directories.[15]

idk if they changed it since then but this was plastic

[summer stump]

Plastic SCM (now called Unity Version Control) is a completely different type of version control.

There are many

[limber marlin]

Yes

[rancid tinsel]

is there a simple way to find objects with tag that also have a specific bool set to true or false?

[rich adder]

whats tag got to do with a bool

[rocky canyon]

simlpe enough.. two conditionals

[rancid tinsel]

nothing, i just want to search objects by tag, but only add the ones with a specific bool toggle to the array

[rich adder]

well yeah if you already have the component with bool

[rocky canyon]

find all w/ tag.. loop thru.. find ones w/ bool

[rich adder]

though if you already have the component , using a tag is useless

So I want to use Git and Github, and Git for Unity isn't working, so should I try to do something separate? I saw examples of Git without Git for Unity online

ya wait.. if u have a bool within a component.. just search for components instead

"Git for unity" is not a thing
Just git init your project folder

just use GIT imo

its a Github Fork..

[rich adder]

I think this is to add Git packages from Package Manager

[summer stump]

This is just an addon.

It is not an either or. This does not replace git

[rich adder]

just learn git + github how they work without the unity part

then add the unity part

[limber marlin]

Sorry, my question was phrased badly - should I use this addon, or use Git separately from Unity?

It's MADE by Unity hence my confusion, I assumed this was the default

[rich adder]

here this shows you how to setup github with unity using a GUI client https://youtu.be/5IxUElilf2M

[summer stump]

It is not either or. You can use it or not, it will not affect your use of git itself
Just set up git first

[limber marlin]

I have Git setup

[rich adder]

its not "made by unity" it was aquired by unity and they have to push it otherwise it was not worth the investment so they shove it down our throats, especially the hub now 🙂

https://fork.dev/ my 2cents as always

[rich adder]

don't lock yourself in with a specific company 🙂

git is universal

github is just popular host, but you can use others or your own HDs

if unity somehow gets rid of that branch (look at other stuff unity abandoned)
now your project are tied to that possibility
