The pbject I put that script on right?

#

Not the one it collided

rich adder
#

You can put it on either object that collide/trigger with eachother

#

up to you

sharp abyss
#

I was trying to check if rightleg or leftleg collided in the same script thats why I asked

rich adder
#

what are you trying to do exactly

#

wdym " rightleg or leftleg collided in the same scrip"

#

are you trying to ignore collisions between the two ?

sharp abyss
#

No

#

If the right leg collides a bool will turn true , if left leg collides other bool will turn ture

rich adder
#

gotcha

sharp abyss
#

But I wanted to check that in their parent gameobject

#

Because I have a script about walking in parent

#

Would this work in that case?

rich adder
#

iirc inside the parent object you have no way to determine which one called the collision

#

only the rigidbody of those colliders

#

or the collider hit

#

if you put script on each leg then send a message into a parent script, you can probably do that

sharp abyss
#

That came like the long way to me thats why I tried something different

#

Thx 😊

Heya, does anybody have any pointers on why my windowed fullscreen (borderless) has the same exact behavior as exclusive fullscreen? Are there any issues with changing between them at runtime? Windowed and exclusive fullscreen work perfectly though
My code:

public void OnScreenModeChange(int index)
    {
        switch (index)
        {
            case 0: // Fullscreen (Exclusive)
                Screen.SetResolution(Screen.currentResolution.width, Screen.currentResolution.height, FullScreenMode.ExclusiveFullScreen);
                break;
            case 1: // Windowed Fullscreen (Borderless)
                Screen.SetResolution(Display.main.systemWidth, Display.main.systemHeight, FullScreenMode.FullScreenWindow);
                break;
            case 2: // Windowed
                Screen.SetResolution(1280, 720, FullScreenMode.Windowed);
                break;
        }
}

# static condor Yes sir

are you sure they're functioning the exact same, and just to be clear you're testing in a build right? im fairly certain one of them should be quicker for switching with alt-tab

static condor
#

It might be working and I am just not noticing the difference haha

#

but it feels the exact same

eternal needle
#

Not entirely sure how to link an exact reply from the unity forums, but the comment from Ryiah

static condor
#

So real exclusive fullscreen doesn't exist with directx 12, so I'll just not include it as a feature in my game

eternal needle
#

i gotta test in my game too because i included it as a setting 😅

nice find on the thread thumbs thanks dude

its weird because I do recall other games having these options, now i know at least it doesnt matter if i choose it

drowsy oriole

how do i make it so that i can get a component from a gameobject script and make it a string on the script im working o

eternal needle
drowsy oriole
#

I am making a tag based game and im new to scripting so i put "tags = GetPlayerTags.playertags" with a public gameobject GetPlayerTags at the start

eternal needle
#

or just directly drag in the script rather than storing a game object, so you dont need get component at all

People are saying this to you because they are more experienced than you, and know that new people most of the time start too big instead of simple cube and spheres games. You're trying to mod a multiplayer game which is even harder

#

how do i make something happens when a string says aspecific word or number

drowsy oriole
frosty hound
#

Drop the tantrum

#

You have to define the rules of what you consider to be a specific word or number. Does casing matter, does it just have to contain the words/numbers, or be exact.

drowsy oriole
#

2htwht?

#

what?

drowsy oriole
summer stump
#

Ah, a string. Read that wrong

drowsy oriole
#

yea

summer stump
#

Where is the string coming from? Are you converting it FROM an int?
If not, you gotta parse it
It it is, skip the string and check the value

drowsy oriole

no

how do i parse it?

help, suddenly I cant change the rotation and scale of a child object while the game is running, in this case the sprite is a child of the player

#

I got a camera attached to a player object in 3D and using this:
cameraTransform.position += cameraTransform.forward * scroll * 1000 * scrollSpeed * Time.deltaTime;
to scroll the camera in and out from the player's look direction. How would I clamp it from going through the player?

rustic valve
#

It only has this script, and yesterday used to work just fine, today I havent touched it but it stopped to work
(Quaternion newRotation = Quaternion.Euler(0, 180, 0);
Sprite.transform.localRotation = newRotation;)

I believe that would only limit the speed and not the actual position, no?

mint remnant
#

but wouldn't that allow me to like scroll out, but then not back in due to clamping the input part?

queen adder
#

I think it should work, try it

queen adder
#

Sorry for being so vague im unsure how to explain it properly

#

But yeah since its using position, it wouldnt be accurate

rustic valve
queen adder
#

I did something similar to this in my own game so im trying to remember

raw token
#

@mint remnant you mentioned that you had "attached a camera to the player" - by that, do you mean that the camera Game Object a child of the Player Game Object?

mint remnant
#

yea, that didn't really do much, I think what @cosmic dagger suggested might be along my best options

queen adder
#

Yeah mb for bad advice

mint remnant
raw token
mint remnant
#

a compicating factor is I also have code that allows mouse movement to rotate the camera, but I may have to re-think scrolling with the rotating as that can make it so the scroll vector might not be aiming in a constant direction

rustic valve
#

why i can't rotate a object when I hit play, it only has Sprite Renderer and animator

#

omg i found the error, it was the animator "Apply root motion"

Which channel would be best for an extremely simple GitHub Desktop question?

Mainly I just learned how to use the repository for my first time and I'm wanting a better explanation of what "Fetch Origin" means than what I'm seeing online. Also once you publish a project to GitHub does it continue to update as you make changes in GitHub Desktop? Or do you need to repeatedly republish it to GitHub? (Is that what a push is, isn't it?)

Online I'm seeing Fetch Origin to mean that it "fetches" data rather than "pulling" it into your code, but idk what data they mean or whn/why I would ever use Fetch Origin.

TLDR: When would you use "Fetch Origin" and why? Is it only for group (and not solo) projects?

mint remnant
#

it's been a while, but you have to remember you have a local repository and the one on gitHub, you can commit changes to local, but then I think only on a push does it update the gitHub one

eternal needle
mint remnant
#

also compare to git rebase

It only updates what you push to it. With github desktop its really just a matter of pressing 2 buttons but in reality you're adding the changes, commiting them along with a message describing the commit, then pushing them to the repo. You can commit many times before pushing, but this would only be local (on your computer, not shown on github)

i have a rq question so I'm making a Game manager to help keep track of the game state and to do so i need to change states based off of if all the enemies were killed so i put all enemies spawned in a list and checks when it hits 0 to change to state 2 but then in state 2 there saved to the same list and when that hits 0 it keep repeating so I'm wonder should i create a bool to check if the state in currently is the next one or should i just make a list for each new state?

#

not really part of your question, but you shouldn't if check a 2nd state if you checked one already. Switch to and if else tree or even better use a switch case scenario

bright grail
mint remnant
#

you might want to include in this statement if (SpawnedEnemys_1.Count == 0) something like && GameState == GameState.Whater

bright grail
#

ok thank you ill try that out

mint remnant
#

the main concept of a state machine is it has defined states and you can only move from one state to another, so let the state machine do the transitions, and draw out a state machine diagram to make sure you stick to it in code

if you're doing multi-threading you could set a variable and another thread might change it before the next line

Hi. I've been trying to solve my problem over the Internet for an hour now: I want to use void onMouseEnter, but it doesn't work at all. I've already simplified everything to Debug.Log(), but it still doesn't work. On the Internet, I saw that I needed to change the Input System to New or Both (New does not work and set Both - as they said on the Internet). I'm already tired of all this. How to solve this?

I have an issue here that when the parent object turns 180 in y, the aimObject gets flipped. How can I fix this?

 Vector2 direction = GetJoystickDirection();
 if (direction != Vector2.zero)
 {
     float angle = Mathf.Atan2(direction.y, direction.x) * Mathf.Rad2Deg;
     aimObject.transform.localRotation = Quaternion.Euler(0, 0, angle);
     // Flip character based on aiming direction
     if ((angle > 90 && angle < 270) || (angle < -90 && angle > -270))
     {
         transform.rotation = Quaternion.Euler(0, 180, 0);
         aimObject.transform.localRotation = Quaternion.Euler(0, 0, -angle);
     }
     else
     {
         transform.rotation = Quaternion.Euler(0, 0, 0);
     }
 }

I just changed it to .rotation

#

It doesn't rotate tho, I think the Y Rotation is wrong

eternal needle
elder raptor
#

Yeah, it is running. I changed the code to this as I though if I can just flip it 180 when the entire parent flips, it might work. But for some reason, the value becomes -180?

if (isAimingWithButton)
{
    Vector2 direction = GetJoystickDirection();
    if (direction != Vector2.zero)
    {
        int num = 1;
        int xValue = 0;
        if(transform.rotation.y == 180f)
        {
            num = -1;
            xValue = 180;
        }
        float angle = Mathf.Atan2(direction.y, direction.x) * Mathf.Rad2Deg;
        aimObject.transform.rotation = Quaternion.Euler(xValue, 0, angle * num);
        // Flip character based on aiming direction
        if ((angle > 90 && angle < 270) || (angle < -90 && angle > -270))
        {
            transform.rotation = Quaternion.Euler(0, 180, 0);
            //aimObject.transform.localRotation = Quaternion.Euler(0, 0, -angle);
        }
        else
        {
            transform.rotation = Quaternion.Euler(0, 0, 0);
        }
    }

    }

In my game I need to change the player's gravity a lot. It is affected by player's jump and some status effects, for example. I want the changes to stack together. I have a list gravityMultipliers, where i add and remove them during the game. The gravity is then multiplied by each of them. Is this a good approach?

It is pointing to the correct side, I mean, it's vertically flipped though, the gun becomes upside down

hallow acorn
#

hey how can i switch my scenes in code? i have the using directive but sceneManager.LoadScene() doesnt work

languid spire
#

SceneManager.LoadScene("Loading");

#

where Loading is the name of the scene

hallow acorn
#

"SceneManager"does not contain a definition for "LoadScene"

languid spire
#

then you have the wrong using

hallow acorn
#

using UnityEngine.SceneManagement

languid spire
#

do you have your own script called SceneManager ?

hallow acorn
#

no

languid spire
#

in that case it should work

tidal kiln
#

try UnityEngine.SceneManagement.SceneManager.LoadScene()

hallow acorn
#

i just have a script called UI where all functions are contained used for buttons

hallow acorn
hallow acorn
languid spire
tidal kiln
#

then something is wrong with yourproject

hallow acorn

#

you probably dont have it configured properly

languid spire
#

it will tell you a bit more than that

hallow acorn
#

no it doesnt

tidal kiln
#

which ide are you using

languid spire
hallow acorn
#

thats weird i just have class SceneManager

hallow acorn
languid spire
#

then you DO have your own SceneManager class

tidal kiln
#

what are you typing in

#

visual studio, vs code, rider

hallow acorn
#

visual studio

hallow acorn
tidal kiln
#

its not configured then

hallow acorn
#

probably bc of my assets from the asset store

tidal kiln
#

go in your project settings and set visual studio as your ide

hallow acorn
tidal kiln
#

in visual studio open the sln file

#

instead of the folder

hallow acorn
#

i dont like this

image.png
tidal kiln
#

that shouldnt be the issue

tidal kiln
hallow acorn
#

but it doesnt

tidal kiln
#

so do what i said

#

open the sln file

hallow acorn
#

can i rename a script if i change the class in the code too?

tidal kiln
#

just go to class name and press ctrl+r twice

#

it will rename the file too

languid spire

#

Trying to make a simple FOV slider, but am getting the error "MissingComponentException: There is no 'Camera' attached to the "PlayerController" game object, but a script is trying to access it."

I have my FOV script applied to my PlayerController GameObject, and the image provided is the way I have my player put together.

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

public class FOV : MonoBehaviour
{
    public Camera PlayerCamera;
    public float playerFOV = 60f;

    void Start()
    {
        PlayerCamera = GetComponent<Camera>();
    }

    void Update()
    {
        PlayerCamera.fieldOfView = playerFOV;
    }

    public void fovSlider(float zoom)
    {
        playerFOV = zoom;
    }
}

Isn't the camera on the child object FirstPersonCamera?

#

And since it's a child then just drag it into the field in the inspector, no need for extra code if the component is accessible from the get go

camera fov is finally working like it was before (sitting at 60 normally), but when i use the slider its not updating the actual camera's FOV. any ideas?

Under the method name there is 60 clearly visible. It means it will always fire the method with 60 as a parameter

because nothing im doing is linking to that value and idk how to access it

Hello, is there any way to have these arrows for public int variables? I would like to increment a seed variable 1 by 1 with a button press in the inspector frame

youll have to make an editor script for that
alternatively you can use the Range macro which isnt the same thing but is a slider

also you can drag the field anyway by default

instead of the arrows, a simple custom inspector would have two actual buttons: one the increments, one that decrements . . .

Hey, super beginner question here, I've made a movement script that takes RawAxis for horizontal and vertical (top-down game) and I am now making an attack system. My problem is that I need to somehow keep the last inputs of my movement, so if the player has most previously moved up and left at the same time, I need unity to remember that that was the last input and give that direction. How would I do this?

willow scroll
silver flicker
#

I have it saved as a moveAxis, and whenever I let go of a key, the value placed on the vector2 is gone, how do i keep the value?

willow scroll
silver flicker
#

How could a coroutine be used?

broken cargo
silver flicker

willow scroll
# silver flicker How could a coroutine be used?

When the direction is selected, start a Coroutine with this direction as a parameter, which moves the player in specific intervals. Once the direction is changed, the Coroutine has to be reset.
Note that depending on your game, this thing may be better to implement in Update.

silver flicker
#

How intensive are coroutines? Would I want to be running one every time the player moves?

willow scroll
#

I even have this for you, if required

cosmic dagger
willow scroll
polar acorn
willow scroll
#

Actually, this kind of thing is better to be implemented with Update

#

Just store the previous direction, and move the player in Update, even if there is no current direction

silver flicker
willow scroll
#

Once it gets changed, also update the previous direction

#

Although, it should be called current direction, this way

# 
if (direction != _moveDir && direction != Vector2.zero)
    _moveDir = direction;

Move(_moveDir);
silver flicker
#

Ok, I think I see, so when the direction changes, the previous direction store will change. I can then use this store as a kind of constant when direction is 0

willow scroll
#

Right

silver flicker
#

Thank you!

willow scroll
#

Either check for _moveDir being Vector2.zero in Update or directly in the Move method

silver flicker

late burrow

how stuff like json dont get confused by strings that contain symbols like {}

raw token
late burrow
#

for the string inside json?

raw token
# 
{
  "foobar": "{there's no way for this to be parsed as json unless you explicitly do so}"
}
polar acorn
raw token
late burrow
#

oh right i meant "

raw token
#

If the character is escaped within the string, e.g. \", then it's still considered as part of a string

late burrow
#

yes but if i use variable then i cant add \

polar acorn
#

You can escape an escape character

wintry quarry
#

json doesn't have variables

raw token
#

If your string value already contains " I believe the serializer handles escaping it for you

late burrow
#

so json has no way of erroring out from using these symbols

wintry quarry
polar acorn
raw token
#

I suppose it sort of depends on if you're using them properly... Like I could write bad syntax by hand

polar acorn
# 
{
  value: "asdfasdf""
}

This is invalid for example

#

mismatched quotes

wintry quarry
#

json, by the way, is by far the simplest popular text based data format there is. It's something like 1000x less complex than YAML and much less complex than XML

late burrow
#

yes it can error by hand but it wont error by code right

polar acorn
wintry quarry
#

code can do anything

polar acorn
#

Garbage in, garbage out

late burrow
#

just purely from inputting string

#

to the json serializer

#

or deserializer whatever

wintry quarry
polar acorn
#

If you tell it to write bad json, it'll write bad json

late burrow
#

so i do need to treat strings in some way

#

like converting them to base64

wintry quarry
#

for what purpose

polar acorn
#

Do you want them to be base64?

late burrow
#

i want them to not error from any kind of string input

wintry quarry
# late burrow to the json serializer

If you're asking if Unity's Json serializer will produce invalid Json with JsonUtility.ToJson, the answer is no, unless there's some bug in their code

wintry quarry
polar acorn
late burrow
#

or erase some symbols in conversion

wintry quarry
#

show an example of what you mean

late burrow
wintry quarry
#

if you mean using JsonUtility.ToJson(someObjectWithAStringField) no it will not cause an error no matter what the data in the string field is

late burrow
#

and it wont get erased

wintry quarry
#

JsonUtility.ToJson will add the appropriate escape characters as needed

polar acorn
#

Honestly you could have checked this faster than this whole back and forth where you don't ever mention what you are trying to accomplish and we need to play detective. Just write code that generates JSON, give it whatever nonsense you want it to, and check if it outputs valid JSON

what's it for

You should use a particle subemitter instead

it can be set to emit a particle on particle death, or on collision for example

or do I need to keep it

Hello everyone, i have been learning Unity for a couple of weeks on my free time and i just stumbled upon this problem, i never had it before, the thing is i am trying to use those walls as a limit to my player movement instead of just making the user stop at some specific position, for that i created a couple of walls that use a box collider which i thought it was enough but aparently my collision are not working right, anyone knows what could be the issue?
I added some picures so you can see the properties of my gameobjects

Also here is the code i use for moving my character:

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

public class EnemyX : MonoBehaviour
{
    public float speed;
    private Rigidbody enemyRb;
    private GameObject playerGoal;

// Start is called before the first frame update
    void Start()
    {
        enemyRb = GetComponent<Rigidbody>();
        playerGoal = GameObject.Find("/Goals/Player Goal");
    }

// Update is called once per frame
    void Update()
    {
        // Set enemy direction towards player goal and move there
        Vector3 lookDirection = (playerGoal.transform.position - transform.position).normalized;
        enemyRb.AddForce(lookDirection * speed * Time.deltaTime);

}

private void OnCollisionEnter(Collision other)
    {
        // If enemy collides with either goal, destroy it
        if (other.gameObject.name == "Enemy Goal")
        {
            Destroy(gameObject);
        }
        else if (other.gameObject.name == "Player Goal")
        {
            Destroy(gameObject);
        }

}

}

anyone know how to make the "movetowards" function move smoother instead of blocky-esc (constant movement instead of teleporting 1f towards it)

like any tips or tricks or just completely different functions

Why does Unity allow for so much use of magic strings? Seems rather detriemtal to good code practices

polar acorn

How would you expect any programming language to not "Allow for" magic strings?

That's the responsibility of the programmer

Literally any language that compares strings by value "allows for magic strings"

I'm not saying the language shouldn't allow for it, suggesting for example get rid of the Tag concept

Tags are by no means necessary, you can avoid them entirely without losing any functionality. Layers are different, but layers also have helper functions to de-magic them

Then my question becomes why did they put the concept in in the first place

Honestly the tag system isnt even bad. Theres just not a major use for it in most cases

I want to have all my walls having the same sized texture throughout, but because it's a maze, there are many different lengths and widths for walls. The tiling system makes the texture stretch differently between walls. Is there any way to have them all be the same size throughout the different walls?

is 1 the smallest float number?

besides 0

frosty hound
#

No?

obsidian shoal

0.5 or .5 dont work

frosty hound

Floats supports decimals, so the smallest number is one closest to 0 you can get with the size of a float

You need to append f to floats in C#

0.5f

Hello I have a bottom menu im using to identify which panel of a screen is in focus, im using 6 dividers that represent 5 gaps (one for each screen), and want to position the dividers equally spaced with the exception that the currently focused panels dividers occupy a larger space. I've been defeated by the maths so a push in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.

private void AdjustDividers()

        Debug.Log($"{selectedPanelIndex}");
        float canvasWidth = viewportWidth;
        float indicatorWidth = selectedIndicator.rect.width;

        dividers[0].anchoredPosition = new Vector2(-canvasWidth / 2 + dividers[0].rect.width / 2, dividers[0].anchoredPosition.y);
        dividers[dividers.Length - 1].anchoredPosition = new Vector2(canvasWidth / 2 - dividers[dividers.Length - 1].rect.width / 2, dividers[dividers.Length - 1].anchoredPosition.y);

        float availableWidth = canvasWidth - (dividers[0].rect.width + dividers[dividers.Length - 1].rect.width);
        float baseSpacing = availableWidth / (dividers.Length - 2); // -2 because we are distributing space among gaps excluding the first and last dividers

        // Position the middle dividers equally spaced
        for (int i = 1; i < dividers.Length - 1; i++)
        {
            RectTransform divider = dividers[i];
            float xPos = -canvasWidth / 2 + dividers[0].rect.width + (i - 1) * baseSpacing + divider.rect.width / 2;
            divider.anchoredPosition = new Vector2(xPos, divider.anchoredPosition.y);
        }

        if (selectedPanelIndex >= 1 && selectedPanelIndex <= dividers.Length - 3)
        {
            dividers[selectedPanelIndex].anchoredPosition += new Vector2(-indicatorWidth / 2, 0);

So the first item gets loaded correctly because its Container[0], Second does not get loaded cos its [1] and null

yes because data.items[1].item is null

Hm weird though. I can see them getting added and loaded in the inspector.

If you have (or might possibly accidentally have) multiple InventoryManager instances, you may want to chuck a gameObject into the context argument of the Debug.Log() call, just to make sure that the component you are looking at in the inspector is the one which is responsible for the error

wintry quarry
#

Seems to me:

            Container[i].item = database.GetItem[Container[i].Id];
            for (int x = 0; x < Container.Count; x++)
            {
                Debug.Log($"Container has {Container[x].item} these");
                AddItem(Container[x].item);
            }```
You'[re accessing the items before tyhey're populated

that second loop is looking ahead

before the itemsa re assigned

#

initialize yourself in Awake

#

Do stuff that depends on other things being initialized in Start

#

otherwise you get a possible order of operations error

#

e.g. this is running before the Awake on ObjectivesController

summer shard
#

so this?

    private void Start() {
        ObjectivesController.instance.addObjective(this);
    }

yes

okay it works, thanks

Yeah like for example I have item 1 and item 2 in my slot. I save and expect Item 1 and Item 2 on my first 2 slot on load. It loads the first two. Then puts them again respectively filling all my slots

Two main things I'd imagine, specifically defining what the angle is. If I explained the general concept a bit more It might help;

I'm trying to make an arrow rain type skill for a VR game, it would trigger by shooting up into the air between say, 30 & -30 degrees in the air it would trigger. Defining the 30 to -30 limit and comparing the current arrows rotation is the bit I'm pretty confused about.
