What do you see if you run

dotnet --list-sdks

In a console?

[cinder crag]

i would love to but im not sure how to do it with a list

[mint remnant]

a list of her SDKs in programs and features from the other night #💻┃code-beginner message

[steep walrus]

thats what i get... which looks like an issue cause theyre all x86

also when i look in my apps through windows i see sdks that are x64

[teal viper]

I'm not sure if these are installed or just installation files..?

Where are you seeing them?

[steep walrus]

im seeing them in my apps and features when i search up .NET

[hushed hinge]

https://gdl.space/ekipahabob.cpp i am having a problem with this is that it's supposed to show how many muons with tag names "Muon1" "Muon2" and "Muon3" from different scenes there are while i am in the world select screen but it is not showing how many muons theere, how can i fix that since when i put some muons in there, it shows how many muons there are, but i want it to show how many muons there are in every scene?

[cinder crag]

So if I have a list of Transforms , how do I transform the RotateTowardsTarget method work with the list since rn the method works only for an enemy but I want it to rotate towards the first enemy that enters the radius

Or wait

I don't even think I need to do a list

Since I just want the turret to turn towards the first enemy that enters the radius and shoot at the enemy then when that enemy dies , the turret shoots the next enemy

Idk if that's a good way too do it icl

[hushed hinge]

don't anyone understand what i mean?

[cosmic dagger]

Access the first enemy in the list and assign that to a target variable. When that enemy is dead, rinse and repeat . . .

[tidal kiln]

no

whats a muon

[hushed hinge]

it's one of the beings that you need to rescue, like collecting them

those are muons

[tidal kiln]

when you need help you probably shouldnt use names that only exist in your game like that

makes it hard to follow

so you have some items in different scenes and you wanna display how many there are in total?

[cinder crag]

So basically do an for loop?

[hushed hinge]

those items, yeah

[tidal kiln]

if the state doesnt change you could do something like using a scriptableobject assigned to each level and store how many of your objects will be in the scene

now if you play the level and the amount remaining changes and you wanna reflect that in the other scene youll need to figure out some sort way of saving data because scriptable objects arent for saving changes

[hushed hinge]

the counting how many muons there are in each scene only appears in the world select scene, also how do i do that?

[tidal kiln]

something like

public class SceneData : ScriptableObject 
{
    [field: SerializeField] public int MuonCount;
}

oh you should probably add [CreateAssetMenu(fileName = "SceneData", menuName = "ScriptableObjects/SceneData")] in there above the class definition

https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/class-ScriptableObject.html

i mean i guess a simpler solution if the count is static is to just make a static class that holds that info and you can write it in code

[hushed hinge]

should i put the script on somewhere?

[tidal kiln]

i think this might be better if the count isnt changing throughout the game

[cosmic dagger]

You're just accessing the first element of the list, so there wouldn't be a loop . . .

[tidal kiln]

but to answer the question you could create a monobehaviour in the world select that references the SceneData class. if you go the scriptable object route you can add more data to it about that level like scene name or whatever

[cosmic dagger]

I figure you have a trigger that adds enemies to a list when they come into contact with it. That gives you the order they entered . . .

[hushed hinge]

public static class MuonManager?

[hushed hinge]

tried that and yet the how many muons there are in every scene still doesn't change the number

[tidal kiln]

https://gdl.space/ekipahabob.cpp i am

[solemn fractal]

Hey guys, do I need to use getter and setters for all my variables inside player etc? or just the most important ones? If you are creating a game alone should I even care about this?

[frosty hound]

You don't have to, no. You only care if you care, it's not necessary.

[teal viper]

Only for those that need to be accessed from outside the class.
If you want to make good habits, you should probably make use of good practices, even if it doesn't matter a lot in the current circumstances.

[solemn fractal]

But that could make the code 10x bigger, and if u are coding alone and know what u are doing why create so many more lines just to make sure nobody else will change ur variable in a scenario I am alone in this?

[frosty hound]

They can be single lines

[teal viper]

It shouldn't. First of all you can use auto properties, so it's just replacing the original field. And second, you shouldn't have that many properties in the first place.

[solemn fractal]

Ok, understood, thank you

[rocky canyon]

if ur coding alone u get to do wetf u wanna do 😈

[teal viper]

The "make sure nobody else will change ur variables" is in 99% of cases a safeguard against your own mistakes and bad code.

[rocky canyon]

the person that will fk u over the most is ur past self

[solemn fractal]

hahaha, got it. Makes sense.

I will try to start using it in a new small project game I have.

[tidal kiln]

you can use auto implemented properties

its 1 line

[rocky canyon]

yea, thats what Osteel mentioned

[solemn fractal]

I will do a research on that. Thank you

[summer stump]

Even when not using autoprops, it would be 2x bigger for ONLY the properties (one line for the propery and one for the backing field).
Meaning less than 2x.

[ember tangle]

I'm really really struggling with tracking down the cause of NullReferenceException.

is there an in editor way to see what is wrong with the script? Everything was working until I started moving the Start() functionality into a Setup() function called in order in a game manager script

now its just constantly tracking down NullReferenceExceptions

[rocky canyon]

it tells what line of the code threw the error

find that line.. see what references u have.. and debug them to check if they're assigned

[ember tangle]

for this current iteration of the error, its caused a script passing itself into the state machine currentState.UpdateState(this);

[tidal kiln]

theres no written backing field for auto properties

[ember tangle]

this worked perfectly before until I refactored the code to be setup in a manager script

[tidal kiln]

public int Something {get; set;}

thats all you need

[rocky canyon]

well i wouldnt see how this would be null.. soo maybe its currentState thats null

[summer stump]

Yes. That is why I said when not using autoprops

[tidal kiln]

whats the big deal with an extra line per property

[summer stump]

It is not a big deal, that was my entire point.....

[tidal kiln]

i mean i guess it doesnt matter its your choice

[summer stump]

I was pointing out that there is no possible way it would be 10x
Even without knowing about auto properties, it would be less than 2x max..

It seems you misread what I was said and took it to mean that it is a bad thing? I meant the exact opposite

[tidal kiln]

i thought you were the original guy

my bad

[summer stump]

No worries. It happens. That makes things more clear, cause I was confused haha

[hushed hinge]

i am having trouble in a thread

#1265474997183320204 message

[ember tangle]

adding a null check makes the editor itself crash. I'm at a complete loss

[rocky canyon]

tf?

[ember tangle]

well, it hangs forever, not crash

[rocky canyon]

lol, ive never heard that before sorry

whats the error in the console?

[ember tangle]

no errors, just 1 fps in the editor

I got it to stop playing at least.

[molten dock]

is the new input system worth learning

cant tell if it matters

[rocky canyon]

yes..

its slowly going to become the standard

[rocky canyon]

if ur learning just use the Input. class for a while..

then u can learn the input system later

you can even have both in ur project..

[summer stump]

If you plan on allowing mutli-input (like keyboards and controller and touch) then it simplifies things A LOT. If you are only using keyboard, it is still worth it, bit the Input class can still be preferable for its ease

[sacred orbit]

is there any way to center the players mouse on the screen?

[rocky canyon]

yes its Cursor.lockState = CursorLockMode.Locked;

[molten dock]

i know how to use input

nice that i can use both

i have been learning unity for about a year now is that still beginner status

[rocky canyon]

yes

probably approaching "general" type stuff

[molten dock]

ok cool cause i feel like a beginner

[rocky canyon]

im 3.5 years.. and i still am

[dawn oracle]

yo why is this spawning 2 balls when i move the ball out of the trigger zone void OnTriggerExit(Collider other) { if (other.tag == "ball") { //ballCount--; //Debug.Log("Objects in trigger: " + ballCount); StartCoroutine(outzone(other)); } } IEnumerator outzone(Collider objToDestroy) { Destroy(objToDestroy.gameObject); yield return new WaitForSeconds(1); Instantiate(ball, ballSpawner1.position, ballSpawner1.rotation); } }

[rocky canyon]

put a debug in ur coroutine.. but im sure that'd run twice right?

[dawn oracle]

oh yea let me try that lol

ok yea its getting send thru twice.

im gonna try and disable the collider rq

[ember tangle]

I ended up have to assign all GetComponent<>() references in one script instead of the Start() in every other script attached to the GameObject and the bug went away. I wish I knew why this worked lol

[rocky canyon]

ohh was it trying to reference an object that wasn't set up yet?

that stuff can happen w/ singletons and stuff that set up in Awake().. if another script tries to grab it in its Awake().. there could be a race condition

Awake() set up self Start () set up others

[ember tangle]

It was an instantiated GameObject from a prefab that had all the scripts attached so I still dont understand

[rocky canyon]

ohh yea, if all it's dependencies were on the prefab itself i wouldnt understand either

but im glad u got it working

https://gdl.space/podigetume.cs

i am trying to do a load and save system

i get an error saying "object reference not sent to an instance of an object" on line 48 and 61

so it must have to do with foreach (IDataPersistence dataPersistenceObj in dataPersistenceObjects

i dont think that the IDataPersistence script should have this issue since its an interface and not a monobehaviour

the IDataPersistence script is this

`public interface IDataPersistence
{
void LoadData(GameData data);

void SaveData(ref GameData data);

}`

[rocky canyon]

    public void Start()
    {
        LoadGame();
        this.dataPersistenceObjects = FindAllDataPersistenceObjects();
    }``` flip these around

[molten dock]

that works lol ty

why does that work

[rocky canyon]

your very welcome..

[rocky canyon]

dataPersistenceObjects is not initialized before it is accessed in the LoadGame and SaveGame methods

just think about the flow u have

it helps me to scratch out whats happening on a piece of paper when working on systems like a save system

[molten dock]

what sucks is that i am too clueless on the topic to not use a tutorial so then i get stumped when roadblocks like that come up

[rocky canyon]

i also use tons of comments

[rocky canyon]

thats what this channel/ the forums/ and other like it are for..

specifics..

[rocky canyon]

for me.. in my opinion.. i'll watch a tutorial.. i'll do the exact same thing..
then i go back and re-read it.. and write out comments to try to figure it out on my own..
then i try to implement it again but on my own this time.. and thats when i'll go to google and read-up and learn about certain things
that i used for the tutorial that i didn't actually know about (or how it worked)

then eventually.. you'll be able to code the same thing w/o any help.. besides googling functions and keywords

[molten dock]

that seems like a good method ill save that

[rocky canyon]

the comment part really helps

im continiously having this issue where my c# dev kit is targeting the wrong format .net sdk. instead of x64 its targeting x86 and i cant do anyting and I was wondering if anyone knows how to change what sdk is targeted

[rocky canyon]

weird.. ur not using a 32 bit machine are u?

should always be x64

[steep walrus]

im using a 64x i believe but possible an 86x is there a way to check?

[rocky canyon]

System Information -> System Type

[steep walrus]

x64-based PC

[rocky canyon]

mmhmm i knew u werent running a 32bit machine

thats what x86 is

old school

[steep walrus]

absolutely everything that comes up when i search .net in storage

[rocky canyon]

have u googled how to retarget sdk

[steep walrus]

some x86 some x64

[rocky canyon]

well they put both i think

[steep walrus]

yes and i found a solution in vs studio code but it doesnt apply the same way

[rocky canyon]

is it ur VSCode thats busted?

[steep walrus]

and i think i jut found something that says i can do it in global.json but idk where that is

[steep walrus]

since ive had the issue ive tried reinstalling 3 times

thats the exact error message

[rocky canyon]

https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/csharp/get-started#:~:text=Check out the Signing in,version of the .NET SDK.

[steep walrus]

should i delete it again and do the walkthrough again

[rocky canyon]

maybe ur just missing a step

idk im just reading around.. my .NET install was simple

[steep walrus]

i saw that thread but ig i glossed over hat

[rocky canyon]

i just went online and found the .NET 8 / 9 on their website and installed it

[steep walrus]

thats what i did as well

[rocky canyon]

id uninstall and reinstall the SDK

[steep walrus]

ill try that if uninstalling the extension through vs code doesnt work

yeah that didnt work

[rocky canyon]

@steep walrus tbh someone shoulda helped u fix this by now..

i just don't have the expertise to help.. other than just googling along-side u

[steep walrus]

nah youre all good its a complicated problem it seems i also am just trying to lean and its really unmotivating that i literally cant even start

i feel like also everything i google is like slightly different than my situation and there is a chance ive missed the solution cause im pretty confused

[ember tangle]

Why when instantiating from a prefab can no scripts attached to the prefab access each other using GetComponent<>()?

[jagged socket]

why the controls (text) are reblind but the player still moving with old movemeny?

he still moving with adw

[rocky canyon]

same.. most things i find aren't Unity related.. and they say u can change it in global.json which doesn't exist in any of My projects..
when i zero in on unity stuff it just says, make sure to install the correct sdk, restart it, and in unity make sure u have the correct plug-in installed and updated

Can you screen your settings for particles?

[rocky canyon]

https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/vfx/particles/cartoon-fx-remaster-free-109565 i believe it came from this asset pack (the rain particle)

also gotta have good colliders on the objects (convex or primitive)

[formal sable]

ahahaha, I have now created new particles and they are working))

maybe problem with my current rain

[twilit olive]

what do you guys prefer for input systems? My personal preference is something like the new input system but i like events and binding them in code rather than the editor, I also rather not lookup action names using strings if i could help it. any recommendations?

getting a nice input setup has always been one of the roadbumps whenever i start a new project

[formal sable]

Thanks for helping 🙂

[cosmic dagger]

an InputController with C# events is a simple setup to start with. you could create SOs for the action names. technically, you're still using strings, but they're SO assets named after each action. if one is misspelled, the SO (name) is the only point of failure to worry about . . .

[boreal bramble]

I have a problem with the unity editor UI where's the best place to get help?

I keep getting blank UI panels like this everywhere and need to reload them, or sometimes i can't expand the transform component. I've tried resetting the layout, didn't work

I'm sorry if I'm posting in the wrong place

unity version is up to date

[fossil zephyr]

How do I add +10 to the 'right' property? ```cs
loadingPanel.right += 10;

CS0019 Operator '+=' cannot be applied to operands of type 'Vector3' and 'int'

so i cant add integers onto vector properties

i was thinking of converting the vector property to an integer and then adding it back but i dont think it would work

[ivory bobcat]

What type is a loading panel?

[fossil zephyr]

its a UI panel

[ivory bobcat]

So it isn't a Rect Transform?

[fossil zephyr]

When I click the "werk" button, I want the panel to slowly go up and then when complete add +1 money

[ivory bobcat]

Show where you've declared it

[fossil zephyr]

'right' is part of rect transform

[fossil zephyr]

using JetBrains.Annotations;
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates;
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.UI;

public class buttonScript : MonoBehaviour
{
    public RectTransform loadingPanel;
    public void Button()
    {
        loadingPanel.right += 10;
    }
}

[ivory bobcat]

So it's a Rect Transform

[fossil zephyr]

yeah

[ivory bobcat]

The right property likely isn't what you're seeing in the inspector but the specific axis relative to world space

[fossil zephyr]

this is what im trying to acheive with a script
https://gyazo.com/3df194478518d02a23afbcc9f47d6be0

[ivory bobcat]

You should instead modify the Rect by assigning it a new Rect with your wanted values
https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/RectTransform-rect.html

[fossil zephyr]

so i should add my required amount onto the "right" and then assign that as a new rect?

and repeat that 100 times until its at my desired value?

[ivory bobcat]

Not sure why you'd do anything 100 times but if you're wanting to modify the properties of the rectangle (left, top, right, bottom, z) your wanted property would be the rect member.

[fossil zephyr]

im making an animation. thats what the gif i sent depicts. if im changing the rect, i need to change it by small increments to make it appear as smooth. this will make it look like it is "loading". I will stop applying the increments once the value is greater than or equal to right===0

so i will need to change the rect mutliple times

which i dont think is the most resource-efficient way

[ivory bobcat]

Whatever the case is, the right property is referring to your object's directional axis-right and not the right dimension of the rectangle. You'll need to modify the rect property if your intentions are to modify that "right" field shown in the Rect Transform component.

[fossil zephyr]

the documentation you sent has the right properties listed for a UI label. ```cs
void OnGUI()
{
//The Label shows the current Rect settings on the screen
GUI.Label(new Rect(20, 20, 150, 80), "Rect : " + rectTransform.rect);
}

How would I do this for a panel

[fossil zephyr]

also where in this script do i define the panel that i am trying to change the property of?

[modest dust]

You might want to use the offsetMin and offsetMax properties of RectTransform

[fossil zephyr]

how do i do that?

i dont have a lot of experience with c# but i do with other languages

[modest dust]

Or an animation would be good too, probably

[modest dust]

Look it up in the docs

[fossil zephyr]

animation is what im trying to achieve except im doing it through altering a property to create the effect

idk if u can do it another way

[modest dust]

offsetMax is the upper right corner of the rect

offsetMax.x would be right

Play around with the values to see how it works

[worthy tundra]

i wanna instantiate an array of prefabs inside a circle but i dont really understand random.insideunitycircle, i didnt quite understand the documentation, help any1?

[modest dust]

Which part don't you understand

It just returns a random point on or inside a circle of radius 1

As if the circle center is at (0, 0)

If you want to change the radius and center position, then simply do:

Vector2 randPos = Random.insideUnitCircle * spawnerRange + spawnerPos;

[worthy tundra]

nvm i understand it now, all i need to do is to add it to a Vector3 and then add the vector3 to the position i want it to start and to multiply by the range

[modest dust]

First multiply by the range

Then "move" it

[topaz ice]

It says I'm using only float values that apparently... Can't be smaller than 1. or like can't have dots.

using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;

public class Walking : MonoBehaviour
{
    // Start is called before the first frame update
    void Start()
    {

    void Update()
        {
        if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.A))
        transform.position = new Vector3(transform.position.x - 1, transform.position.y, transform.position.z);
        
    }
}```

How do I write with stuff smaller than 1

On the plus side, it does work, so I don't hate leaving it like this, but I kinda do a little 🙂

[cosmic dagger]

yep, your own script, whether it's InputController, InputManager, or by any other name . . .

yeah this seems pretty good so far

[lucid yew]

what is the reason that there is no checkbox for the twitch script?

[ivory bobcat]

No unity messages (methods)

Unity trying to be smart and failing 😄

[cosmic dagger]

it doesn't have a Start, OnEnable, OnDisable, or an Update method (unity message) . . .

[lucid yew]

aight thanks guys

[ivory bobcat]

You won't need that disable/enable checkbox if there isn't anything to disable/enable (callbacks that Unity would run)

[pallid nymph]

Unless, you know, you're using the enabled property for something in other events 🤷‍♂️

It's rare, but when it happens it's frustrating they tried to be smart about it instead of just giving you the checkbox always

[ivory bobcat]

@fossil zephyr Assign the rect property a new rect of your liking or as suggested, modify the offsets - space is relative to anchors.cs var rect = whatever.rect; //modify the rect whatever.rect = rect;

do i put panel as "whatever"?

Also you likely arent getting help because it is very vague and more of a beginner issue in the general channel. Try to narrow down the issue rather than just saying it doesnt work. You should have a general idea of what line of code isnt working. Add debugs to see whats specifically not working

Hey I'm moving to unity, And I'm making a system to walk and jump around.

And it just skips through some steps to do things.

Full script:

using System.Collections;

        transform.position = new Vector3(transform.position.x - 0.005f, transform.position.y, transform.position.z);

        if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.D))
        transform.position = new Vector3(transform.position.x + 0.005f, transform.position.y, transform.position.z);

        if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.W))
        transform.position = new Vector3(transform.position.x, transform.position.y, transform.position.z + 0.005f);

        if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.S))
        transform.position = new Vector3(transform.position.x, transform.position.y, transform.position.z - 0.005f);

        if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.Space))
        Debug.Log("Pressed space... probably");
            if (JumpHeight <= 0.8f)
                JumpHeight += 0.01f;
                transform.position = new Vector3(transform.position.x, transform.position.y + 0.01f, transform.position.z);
    }
}```

What I'm focusing on:

```        if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.Space))
        Debug.Log("Pressed space... probably");
            if (JumpHeight <= 0.8f)
                JumpHeight += 0.01f;
                transform.position = new Vector3(transform.position.x, transform.position.y + 0.01f, transform.position.z);```

What it skips to:

```            if (JumpHeight <= 0.8f)
                JumpHeight += 0.01f;
                transform.position = new Vector3(transform.position.x, transform.position.y + 0.01f, transform.position.z);```

It doesn't show text until I press space, but does jump for some reason.

[eternal needle]

you need brackets, without the brackets its just doing the next line only within the if statement. C# doesnt care about how its indented

[tranquil barn]

oohh okaii ill check them out thanks! :)

[topaz ice]

Oh alr where do I place them?

[languid spire]

if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.Space))
        Debug.Log("Pressed space... probably");
            if (JumpHeight <= 0.8f)
                JumpHeight += 0.01f;
                transform.position = new Vector3(transform.position.x, transform.position.y + 0.01f, transform.position.z);

C# is not Python

[topaz ice]

I've never used python in my life ;-;

[eternal needle]

wherever you wish to have logic that runs based on the if statement

[languid spire]

then why are you using indentation to denote scope?

[topaz ice]

Cuz it kept bugging me about it being wrong

until I put them there

[eternal needle]

indents dont affect anything, its purely for style/readability

[topaz ice]

Alright.

[eternal needle]

if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.Space))
{
  // whatever logic inside here
}

but you should likely do more c# basics if you havent learned this yet

[topaz ice]

Alright I will.

[long jacinth]

script for weapon switch but it isnt switching

it randomly switches when i keep clicking

[teal viper]

Why is it in on trigger stay?

[cosmic dagger]

that's a lot of GetComponents to do every physics frame . . .

[long jacinth]

i dont know it doesnt work if i do it enter either

[long jacinth]

so i should calm down with them and maybe it will be fixed?

[cosmic dagger]

it'll be more readable and easier to follow. if you need to access the same component mutliple times, cache it in a temporary variable for reuse . . .

[long jacinth]

ok

[languid spire]

I get the impression that you have no idea whatsoever what you are doing. I would suggest going back to !learn until you do understand

[long jacinth]

idk i did this before i dont know whats wrong this time im just rewriting my code from the start

[languid spire]

I'm pretty sure I've told you this before, but you need to debug your code to actually see what it is and is not doing

[long jacinth]

ok i will

[jagged socket]

Hello
I have a problem in input when i enter playmode the input names changes but the movement no
but when i change the inputs in the play mode it become fixed
how can i fix that?
help me?!

[languid spire]

I appreciate that you are not a native English speaker but you are going to have to make more effort to explain yourself because I, for one, do not understand a word of what you have written

[jagged socket]

okay i will come in a few minutes

[fossil zephyr]

i think he is saying when he changes keybinds it doesnt work and he cant move. But when he changes the input in play mode it fixes it

does anyone have the slightest idea why my button wont work?

public class buttonScript : MonoBehaviour
{
    private static int money;
    public void Button()
    {
        Console.WriteLine("clicked");
        money += 1;
        Console.WriteLine(money);
    }

    public void Start()
    {
     money = GameObject.Find("money").GetComponent<money>().moneyInt;
    }
}

doesn't even print "clicked".

[cosmic dagger]

what doesn't work? the money is not added? does the method run at all? also, you do not use Console.WriteLine . . .

[languid spire]

To start with Console.WriteLine does not work in Unity. use Debug.Log

[fossil zephyr]

dont know, nothing was printing

[cosmic dagger]

use Debug.Log instead . . .

[fossil zephyr]

im so used to using console.writeline smh

alright thanks ( @cosmic dagger @languid spire ) it works

problem was debug.log

[cosmic dagger]

no, the problem was Console.WriteLine. Debug.Log is the solution . . .

[fossil zephyr]

you know what i mean

[topaz mortar]

how do I stop play if it's stuck in an infinite loop?

[long jacinth]

after some debugging the problem is that it isnt detecting my E key input

should i worry abt this

[ivory bobcat]

Set a break point where the infinite loop is likely occurring and attach the debugger.

[topaz mortar]

that seemed to work, but editor is still frozen

[ivory bobcat]

Once the code executes that line, it'll pause and you can safely stop the play session within the Unity Editor.

[topaz mortar]

Ah stopping the debug fixed it, thx 🙂

[jagged socket]

okay
look @languid spire im using new input system and im using this to make a reblinding menu so the player can change his movement
and

i made this to change the inputs

but it doesn't work unless i change the action in the play mode
if i didn't change it in play mode it doesn't work

[blazing estuary]

anyone know why this error might be appearing

ive checked multiple times but there seems to be nothing wrong

this is the code where the error is taking me

[languid spire]

the line above is the one to worry about

[blazing estuary]

oh yeah ive checked that already

what about the error though

the script isnt working

[languid spire]

you are doing 2 new() there are either of them Monobehaviours?

[blazing estuary]

no

[languid spire]

try changing your StartCoroutine to

StartCoroutine(Method());

[blazing estuary]

will do

[fossil zephyr]

why does public Money totalMoney; try to reference currentScript.totalMoney instead of Money.totalMoney

totalMoney is not a public variable of the current script. its a public variable of the Money script that I need to access

buttonScript is accessing totalMoney from money.cs/Money class

[languid spire]

simple, you have not told it to

[vernal bone]

you have to specify which variable you accessing, if it's not local

[halcyon geyser]

we'll need more info than just this vague screenshot

[languid spire]

just by giving a varaible the same name does not somehow magically link them together

[wheat canopy]

sorry back on my main account, this is me

[wheat canopy]

how do i tell it to

[wheat canopy]

        moneyText.text = "MONEY: " + totalMoney;
    }
}

[languid spire]

by using a reference to the instance of the money class you want to use

[wheat canopy]

so, im trying to reference totalMoney from Money class so why can't i just do Money.totalMoney

[languid spire]

because thats not the way C# works

[wheat canopy]

what do i write instead

[vernal bone]

you've created a variable object totalMoney of Money class.

[wheat canopy]

yeah

[hexed terrace]

all you have to do atm is totalMoney.totalMoney

[wheat canopy]

i did that but it didnt work. let me recreate it so i can get the error

[hexed terrace]

"didn't work" is too vague.

[wheat canopy]

yeah... thats why i said give me a sec to recreate it to get the error

[languid spire]

I'm not going to write your code for you but I would suggest you change
public Money totalMoney;
to
public Money money;
and set the reference in the Inspector
then you can do
money.totalMoney

[hexed terrace]

just get the error and update, no need to give a blow by blow update 😄

[wheat canopy]

public void Button()
{
    Debug.Log("clicked");
    Debug.Log(totalMoney.totalMoney);
}
``` prints `UnityEngine.Debug:Log (object)` which isnt the value

[vernal bone]

and you probably should learn some more OOP

[wheat canopy]

i'll give it a shot

[ivory bobcat]

public TotalMoney money;//Reference from the inspector``````cs
moneyText.text = $"Money: {money.totalMoney}";```

[wheat canopy]

i've heard OOP is bad for unity so

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[hexed terrace]

Do you know what OOP is?

[wheat canopy]

object oriented programming

yes

c# isnt my main lang

[vernal bone]

i suggest you to flip off anyone who said that

[wheat canopy]

does unity have the capabilities to let you create a mega script that has everything instead of multiple smaller ones?

[languid spire]

tbf OOP is bad for any system if you don't know wrf you are doing

[eternal needle]

You'd be surprised how many things people will say is bad. Either from overexaggeration or just repeating what others have told them

If they didnt tell you why, dont listen to it.

[vernal bone]

probably... ???
but then you better be off to some other means of game development, i guess

[ivory bobcat]

A single giant script isn't preferred over multiple small scripts due to managing issues.

[wheat canopy]

would a large script not be easier to manage?

[languid spire]

Absolutely, if you want to take that road into coding hell

[hexed terrace]

fuck no

[eternal needle]

Also unity isnt related to that, you can create your classes however you want. Unity doesnt care

[vernal bone]

you should not hand off grenades to monkeys

[wheat canopy]

when i use lua its usually easier to make a module script with all ur shit in it and run everything from there. if you need to make scripts, u can just reference main one for data. i assume c# isnt like that

[languid spire]

unless, of course, you have something against monkeys

[languid spire]

I have no experience with LUA so I could not possibly comment

[wheat canopy]

dont learn it. its useless

[eternal needle]

I mean, were you creating games in lua? Sure main functionality or utility functions make sense to throw in 1 area. But the actual game logic? Hell no

[wheat canopy]

i was and i was running all game logic from a single script using couroutines and threads

[bright siren]

LUA is for smaller scripts - I don't think it a language for anything large which is where you need to break things down. But in C# you can have a static class or Singleton to maintain your core data if you really want

[wheat canopy]

and it worked

[languid spire]

I have no intention to, although I do program in many non OOP languages and it is my experience that you eventually end up implementing a faux OOP within them to make sense of them

[eternal needle]

Or course itd work, this isnt a question of will it run. It's a question of how much will people hate working with u after seeing a 3000 line script named Game.cs

[wheat canopy]

//buttonscript.cs
public class ButtonScript : MonoBehaviour
{
    public Money money;
    public void Button()
    {
        Debug.Log("clicked");
        Debug.Log(money.totalMoney);
    }
}
``` still prints `(object)`. 
```cs
//money.cs
public class Money : MonoBehaviour
{
    public int totalMoney = 11;
    public Text moneyText;

    private void Update()
    {
        //Debug.Log("updating");
        moneyText.text = "MONEY: " + totalMoney;
    }
}

[vernal bone]

serious question though, will it impact performance in any way?

[languid spire]

screenshot the ButtonScript inspector

[wheat canopy]

i mean, in the environment i was in that was expected. Multiple scripts was bad. you are expected to create it all within a single script

less is more

certainly not the case with c#

[eternal needle]

Then the environment you worked in was backwards

[languid spire]

because of the rhar is not the inspector of ButtonScript

[wheat canopy]

that was my roots so its hard to break out of that

[wheat canopy]

oh

do i have to reference stuff in the script properties??

guh

[languid spire]

no, that all looks fine

[wheat canopy]

money is undefined

[vernal bone]

do you need Money to be MonoBehaviour?
like, do you intent to create GameObject with this script?
if not, then you probably be better without Monobehaviour parent in Money

[languid spire]

not according to your screenshot unless you have mutiple ButtonScript instances

[ivory bobcat]

You're likely referencing something else in the on click event and not the instance with the proper reference to money.

[eternal needle]

If we're talking about like nanosecond level then I'm not sure. But overall no assuming it's the same logic just in 1 class.
Which also I should mention doesnt really apply in unity because you wouldnt be able to separate components then and attach them

[wheat canopy]

this is what im trying to do. clicking the buttons +=1 to money int which is a property of money.cs which is under money display text

[neon fractal]

ur money dont show?

[wheat canopy]

its not finding the variable to add

[ivory bobcat]

This isn't really a coding issue anymore but rather an issue with using the Editor Inspector in regards to referencing. Make sure you drag the correct scene objects into each reference field/slot.

[neon fractal]

send text in inspector

[wheat canopy]

do you know why button() isnt showing up as a function?

public class ButtonScript : MonoBehaviour
{
    public Money money;
    public void Button()
    {
        Debug.Log("clicked");
        Debug.Log(money.totalMoney);
    }
}

[neon fractal]

U dont need second script

[wheat canopy]

im not going to manage buttons and money in the same script

[ivory bobcat]

Which object did you drag into that On Click listener field?

[languid spire]

because you have dragged the script in not a gameobject that has the script

[ivory bobcat]

Did you simply drag the script from the asset fold or the scene object with the component script?

[wheat canopy]

yeah

[vernal bone]

editor do not allows not scene Monobehaviours to be referenced that way

[ivory bobcat]

Drag the scene object with the component script.

[wheat canopy]

i added it back to game manager. i tried to cut out game manager but yeah unity doesnt let you do that

[languid spire]

man, you really need to take some time and learn the basics of Unity otherwise your life is gonna be a world of pain

[wheat canopy]

this is what im trying to do

[languid spire]

!learn

[eternal falcon]

:teacher: Unity Learn ↗

Over 750 hours of free live and on-demand learning content for all levels of experience!

[neon fractal]

wait a 5 min and i send solution

[ivory bobcat]

I'm not sure what you're referring to but you ought to definitely be able to drag and drop objects with the appropriate component into fields. There is likely some miscommunication.

[wheat canopy]

i dont even know what the issue is at this point. everything is defined and code is clean

button, game manager, money display, button script, money script

[ivory bobcat]

Are both of the objects in the scene?

[wheat canopy]

yes.

still prints object

[languid spire]

man, look at the line abnove ffs

object is just where it is coming from. it's working fine

[wheat canopy]

its not printing the value

[languid spire]

yes it is

[wheat canopy]

the value is defined as 10 which unity acknowledges in properties

[languid spire]

wtf do you thing the 10 is ?

[wheat canopy]

why is it not printing 10 then

[languid spire]

it is printing 10

[wheat canopy]

its printing object

[hexed terrace]

what do you think that is? 😄

[languid spire]

no, it is printing 10 which is coming from a Unity Object

[hexed terrace]

put ya glasses on

[wheat canopy]

wtf

unity console is peak chat

[vernal bone]

it was about Monobehaviour script being referenced not from scene by another script in editor. It not let's you to drag'n'drop script from hierarchy

[hexed terrace]

your lack of attention, you clearly understand 'clicked' is being logged out.. then completely ignored the 10

[wheat canopy]

is there console plugins bceause i dont like this display if you couldnt tell

[hexed terrace]

Yes

I use Editor Console Pro, it's much better than the default IMO. But look on the asset store at the millions of available ones.

[topaz mortar]

I have Weapon : Equippable : Item and Armor : Equippable : Item
Does this not work for Weapon and Armor?
GetComponentInChildren<Equippable>();

[languid spire]

why is Equipable in your chain twice?

[topaz mortar]

yeah it's actually Weapon : Equippable and Armor : Equippable and then Equippable : Item

[hexed terrace]

Do you mean you have ?

Weapon : Equippable
Armor : Equippable
Eqiuppable : Item

[topaz mortar]

yes

[ivory bobcat]

I think he meant equippable inherits Item and both weapon/armor inherits equippable.

[topaz mortar]

seems a bit besides the point

[hexed terrace]

It matters, because we're trying to understand what you actually have, you wrote it in a weird way

I would expect the get component to work

[languid spire]

you probably want

Weapon weapon = GetComponentInChildren<Equippable>() as Weapon;

[ivory bobcat]

If it did not work, you should explain so else just try it out and ask why it isn't working whilst providing more info (if it doesn't).

[topaz mortar]

hmm yeah it works, guess I have a logic error somewhere then

[neon fractal]

if u need

okay, I need a bit of help people,

I'm doing a tower defence game but the pathfinding of the enemies keep putting them on lines

and having a wave of killer insects on a straight line is quite... weird

do you guys have any idea to how to make them spread?

while moving to the target position

[ivory bobcat]

You may want to provide your current code (basically what you've tried) and an illustration if possible.

[gaunt ledge]

I mean, the code is basicaly, get the current navmesh pathfinder => go to the next position on the waypoint array

[gaunt ledge]

https://gdl.space/nepovehago.cs

the comments are in portuguese but I belive it's quite simple to understand what I'm doing

[hexed terrace]

You're probably giving them all the exact same destinations, rather than having a buffer around the node position

and spawning them all on the exact same point

[ivory bobcat]

Maybe have them walk towards the target but with some offset relative to their current offset and the center (where they'd normally be lined up). An easier solution would be to have their renderer on a child that's offset to the parent and move the parent - the parent would still be on the line but what you'd see would be then offset.

[gaunt ledge]

Hmmmm, interesting

[gaunt ledge]

they are spawned in diferent places but always endup making a line as the paths converge

[gaunt ledge]

they all have a specific ID for the path from a earlier attempt I had to fix this, maybe I can make so that this offset is based around that

adding a random value with a specific seed for pathoffset

gonna try that

[hexed terrace]

because you give them all the exact same point to head towards

[gaunt ledge]

yeah, but they kinda have the same point to go, just a very long way to get there

I don't have many ways of changing this part of the code, maybe making them go into diferent positions on the end destination, but the end destination must be tha same for all of them

[hexed terrace]

yes, lol, so add some variation to the points..

[gaunt ledge]

with some exeptions, my problem is the path that they make, I already know they gonna have the same path becouse of this, so I need to find a way for them to create some variations

[hexed terrace]

instead of giving them all the exact same positions to head to (and then wondering why they're in a straight line!).. add a random value to the x,z of the pos.

[gaunt ledge]

my idea was something similar, every time they get to a way point, while they are at a certain distance, instead of going directly there, they go to a offset based on a random number

[hexed terrace]

If you do that, they will still end up getting into a straight line and then diverging. Seems an odd way to do it... just work out the offset before setting their next target position

[languid spire]

one option you could try
A
WayPoint[] A1
WayPoint[] A2
WayPoint[] A3
B
where you chose a random waypoint from the next array at each stage

[gaunt ledge]

hmmmm, that is a interesting position, but don't this endup being the same thing I'm trying to do now, but with specific waypoints instead of a random offsetpos?

[languid spire]

not really, no, you are much less likely to get a procession effect

depends how you define your waypoint positions

[faint sluice]

hello, im trying to create a script where all of my game objects will be visible inside camera no matter how far they are by changing camera's orthographic size. that functionality is working but i cant figure out how to add margin to this feature so i can avoid gameobjects hiding behind UI and be visible inside an area i want them to.
for example i want to add a 50 pixel margin from the edge of the screen. but this margin isnt consistent and keeps decreasing as objects go further away. help pls
https://hastebin.com/share/dumogahuqe.csharp

[gaunt ledge]

okay, the random pos offset worked, thank you guys for the help

How do I get a clone's Parent?

I want to destroy the object, but the clone is a rigidbody

public Rigidbody ball;
Rigidbody clone;

if (Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0)) {
    if (mouseclick == true) {
        clone = Instantiate(ball, transform.position, transform.rotation);
        clone.velocity = transform.TransformDirection(Vector3.forward * 50);
        clone.name = "tiro";
    }
}

Destroy(clone, 2f);

I want to destroy this clone's object, how do I do it?

[slender nymph]

you need to destroy its gameObject not the Rigidbody component

[knotty tangle]

exactly, but I don't know how to get its GameObject

[vestal adder]

transform.parent mby

[slender nymph]

read my message very carefully, i've given you a hint. then go look at the documentation for the Rigidbody component and see what members it inherits

[slender nymph]

it has no parent. and, again, they need to destroy its gameObject, not a transform

[vestal adder]

he wants to know how to get the clones parent so i assumed theres a parent

[slender nymph]

they are misunderstanding the hierarchy. we can clearly see that no parent has been assigned in the code they showed.

[vestal adder]

okay

[slender nymph]

they also clarified what they meant with ["I want to destroy this clone's object"](#💻┃code-beginner message)

[knotty tangle]

thanks

I found a way here

[tawdry rock]

How can i reach these two values through code?

[cosmic quail]

took me 10 seconds to find the answer on google https://docs.unity3d.com/2019.4/Documentation/ScriptReference/RenderSettings.html

[tawdry rock]

ambientIntensity and reflectionIntensity property?

[cosmic quail]

ambientintensity and reflectionintensity sound like the ones you have underlined in red

why did u edit ur message lol

[tawdry rock]

i edited before reading ur reply, sorry

so those are cool but still how do i get to the rendersettings in code?

[verbal dome]

Just RenderSettings

[cosmic quail]

did you try RenderSettings.ambientIntensity = 0?

[verbal dome]

#💻┃unity-talk This is a code channel

[obtuse sluice]

ight

ty

[tawdry rock]

oww, im extra dumb today. i tought i need to reference something first to access that path. thanks

[topaz ice]

Apparently if I use .FindWithTag(""), MonoBehaviour doesn't let it happen?

using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;



public class CameraMovement : MonoBehaviour
{
    public GameObject CamFollower = GameObject.FindWithTag("CamFollower");

    void Start()
    {
        
    }

    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update()
    {
        transform.position = CamFollower.transform.position;
    }
}```

[rich adder]

You can put that method in the field initializer

[topaz ice]

I don't know what that is

[rich adder]

when you initialize a field

that gets created normally when a class gets new()

unity takes care of this on its own, so you cannot run MB method there

[slender nymph]

the error message literally tells you how you can resolve this error too

[topaz ice]

I thought it just said I can't do it

[slender nymph]

it said you cannot call it where it currently is, and gave you two options where you can call that method from

[topaz ice]

Oh I just need to put it in start?

[rich adder]

just to be clear, only the assignment.Not the whole line

[topaz ice]

I just put it in start and removed Public

and it worked

[rich adder]

nooo

[topaz ice]

oh wait..

[rich adder]

now its local..

[topaz ice]

oh ;-;

[rich adder]

define it outside the method, assign it inside the method

do you know what assignment is ?

[topaz ice]

Not really, But let me try it outside of everything

[slender nymph]

you should start with the beginner c# courses pinned in this channel

[rich adder]

instead of guessing, why not say "No I dont, can you tell me"

[topaz ice]

Well sure.

Like I said I don't, And then tried something extra (guessed)

[rich adder]

well this isn't a guessing game lol

its precise science

things mean things

= is symbol for assignment

[topaz ice]

Alright.

[topaz ice]

Also I'll try that out when were done (if we will be done with an answer)

[slender nymph]

well then i won't be helping you any further. good luck

[topaz ice]

Instead of asking y'all everytime I don't know a thing about c#

[topaz ice]

Sure I guess

[slender nymph]

this is literally what you are currently doing. you need to learn the fundamentals of the language

[rich adder]

also even if you solve this, this wont give you a good camera follow anyway.
You should just use Cinemachine here for easy camera follow 🤷‍♂️

I was making a 2D platform game, I wrote a code to open the relevant scene when you press the levels, but it doesn't work, can you help? Error: 'Level1' couldn't be loaded because it has not been added to the build settings or the AssetBundle has not been loaded.
To add a scene to the build settings use the menu File->Build Settings...
UnityEngine.SceneManagement.SceneManager:LoadScene (string)
LevelMenu:OpenLevel (int) (at Assets/Scripts/LevelMenu.cs:12)
UnityEngine.EventSystems.EventSystem:Update () And even though I adjusted the building settings, I have this problem.

[cosmic dagger]

can you show the build settings with the level — in question — added?

[rich adder]

show your build settings page

[rich adder]

where is the -

[cosmic dagger]

that's not correct . . .

[rich adder]

right now your level shows up as Level0 for example

[cosmic dagger]

"Level" + levelId; would be Level1 . . .

[pine furnace]

first photo the player1 has an rb2d component and the second one only has a box collider

why the collision detection works only when i use the dynamic rb2d

[rich adder]

you should not use translation to move a rigidbody if you want accurate collisions

[pine furnace]

not even the kinematic one

[pine furnace]

and if i don t want to use a rigidbody and still get collisions

[rich adder]

kinematics don't collide into objects but others collide into it

[cosmic dagger]

for kinematic, use Rigidbody.MovePosition . . .

[rich adder]

you would painfully have to use physics queries or positions based..

if you're using physics queries you mind as well use rigidbody

[cosmic dagger]

then you need raycasts and physics queries . . .

[pine furnace]

i tried to use a kinematic rigidbody and still doesn t print nothing in the debug menu when it collides

why

[rich adder]

i just told you why

[pine furnace]

nahhhh

and triggers work

[rich adder]

Triggers are not collisions

[wintry quarry]

Collision only happens with dynamic bodies

[pine furnace]

ok thx

i tried to make the game in raylib till i needed collisions and i got lazy

[rich adder]

just stick to dynamic rigidbody and use .velocity

[pine furnace]

and i have another question

[rich adder]

easiest way to do collisions and paddle of your game

[pine furnace]

i tried to make a platformer and made a dynamic rigidbody but my jump didn t work

[rich adder]

probably using velocity and overriding AddForce

just a guess though

[wintry quarry]

That's not a question that's a statement

[pine furnace]

yessssss

[cosmic dagger]

depends how you were jumping . . .

[pine furnace]

i was using velocity to move left right and add force to jump

[rich adder]

when you set velocity just exclude the y

and addforce will work

.velocity = new (myMovingHorizontal, rigidbody.velocity.y)

[pine furnace]

i did it like this

let me find the file

[wintry quarry]

for 2D you can do myRb.linearVelocityX = myMovingHorizontal;

[wintry quarry]

velocity should not have fixedDeltaTime multiplied into it btw

also your code is trying to read input in FixedUpdate which is wrong

input must be read in Update

[primal trench]

heyyy really dumb question
if i create a new list
new List<whatever>();
^
what goes there?

[wintry quarry]

Nothing usually

[queen adder]

do unity projects save to the cloud?

[pine furnace]

should have it multiplied outside of it

[cosmic dagger]

reading input (like that) in FixedUpdate will skip (miss) those frames . . .

[wintry quarry]

neither

[primal trench]

what can it be used for?

[wintry quarry]

Have you checked the documentation? It's all spelled out.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.collections.generic.list-1?view=net-8.0#constructors

[pine furnace]

when do i use time.deltatime and time.fixeddeltatime

[wintry quarry]

when converting a per-frame quantity into a per-second quantity

[pine furnace]

it is confusing bc without this everything works fine on my computer

[wintry quarry]

velocity is already per-second

[pine furnace]

where can i find if something is perframe or persecond?

[wintry quarry]

it's not something you "find"

it's about understanding conceptually what your code is doing and what your variables mean

[rich adder]

btw you should configure your IDE 🙂

[pine furnace]

i reintalled

vs

bc i was getting a lot of warning from unity

[rich adder]

yes but it needs to be configured

follow !vs

[pine furnace]

this one is configured

[rich adder]

ahh there we go

[polar acorn]

Either nothing, an IEnumerable, or an int

[river halo]

Thank you for your help. How can I solve it? I don't quite understand, sorry.

[pine furnace]

thanks for the help

[cosmic dagger]

ok, what is the name of your level that you added to build settings?

@river halo do you have it?

[rich adder]

strings are very much sensitive to casing, spacing, and ofc missing characters lol
"I am a string"
Is not the same as "i am a string" etc.

[lethal bolt]

This should work rigth? but this happends?

[wintry quarry]

it should work to do what? We don't know what targetLimb is or what this joint is attached to or anything.

[cosmic dagger]

what should work? you should always explain what is expected vs the actual behavior that occurs . . .

[river halo]

I added 3 levels level-1 level-2 level-3 Do I need to add these to my code?

[rich adder]

my friend, answer the original question Random asked you

[river halo]

yes added

[cosmic dagger]

ok. now, when "Level" + levelId; is combined, what is the output of that string?

[stuck palm]

can you have base and inherited methods?

like classes?

[rich adder]

yea

[cosmic dagger]

you mean like abstract, virtual and override methods? sure . . .

[dry pumice]

can someone help me real quick, i want to make it so my player cant move/has limited movement mid air https://pastebin.com/syiKcBqx, im not much of a coder and need a lil help

[rich adder]

first you should explain what is happening vs what you expect happening.

[lethal bolt]

Oh mb i have put the targetRotation script on every bone in the active ragdoll to the coresponding in the None active version. but insted of copying the rotations it looks like its self imploding

[cosmic dagger]

@river halo #💻┃code-beginner message

[river halo]

How should I find the output?

I'm a little new

[rich adder]

store it inside a variable first then Debug.Log it
string myResult = "Level" + levelId
Debug.Log(myResult)

[dry pumice]

its just an fps controller but when jumping i can move freely when mid air i want to make it so i cant move when mid air or slow it down so i cant move as fast when mid air

[rich adder]

break down the problem into smaller easy to solve ones.
you already have a Grounded variable since you are working with character controller. Check if you're grounded when moving and adjust accordingly

[cosmic dagger]

you should be able to tell already. you're adding the word Level plus the value of levelId. if you know what value levelId is, then you just combine them together. E.g., if levelId = 1, then the output is Level1

now, if that is true, you said, you added level-1 to the build settings, correct? is level-1 the same as Level1?

[river halo]

I pressed level 1 and it said 1

[rich adder]

you see it printed Level1

is that the same as Level-1 ?

[river halo]

I understand

[cosmic dagger]

perfect. now look at that string: it says Level1. is that the same name as the level you added to your build settings?

[river halo]

thank you very much for your help

I understand the problem

[cosmic dagger]

as navarone mentioned earlier, every single character and its case in a string must match for it to be equal . . .

[warm condor]

Hey guys, so my player has a boxcollider2d and is able to to movement like walk, run, slide, and crouch. The problem I'm having is that when there are platforms that the player can crouch/slide under and then stand up, the two box colliders clip into each other, which results in the sliding glitch throughout the whole game until I reset the game. Now I know that I can prevent this by detecting if there is something above the player's head, but that is something that I will be getting into later. What I want to know is if there is a way for the engine to not keep this glitch after getting out of the box collider clipping so that way, if there ever is this type of glitch in the future, at least it wouldn't keep that glitch through out the whole game.

[cosmic quail]

does rigidbody.moveposition collide with walls the same way as addforce does? i've been told on this discord that it shouldnt be used because it doesnt collide properly with stuff

[pine furnace]

the left paddle is not moving

do u see any flaw

[lethal bolt]

You can cast a raycast

that makes it not able to stand up

[wintry quarry]

you need to check if there's room to stand up before standing up

[rich adder]

u probably want GetKey

[slender nymph]

GetKeyDown is only true for the first frame you press the button. and since you set vertical to 0 every frame, you overwrite that value you assign. also you move the same direction no matter which button you press

look into using GetAxisRaw instead of querying each key individually. it even includes the 0 value when neither key is held

[rich adder]

btw you can just do
float verticalSpeed
...
verticalSpeed = Input.GetAxisRaw("Vertical")

[warm condor]

ohh ok, idk what raycast is, but ill look into that. I just wanted to know if there is a way I can get out of this glitch instead of having it the entire game if I ever get it somehow.

[pine furnace]

i know but i had in my head the idea to make 2 public keycodes up and down

[rich adder]

alrighty

[pine furnace]

bc i have 2 player and to player 1 to assign w and s and to player 2 to assign up and down arrows

so i don t make 2 scripts

[slender nymph]

you could just make two separate axes

[lethal bolt]

I think just casting a ray cast up and set a Bool to "can stand up" and if the ray hits something it will be sett to false and if not True

[pine furnace]

i need to do some documentation about axes and buttons

[rich adder]

@pine furnace https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/class-InputManager.html

[warm condor]

ah ok yea, maybe using that will be easier for me

[wintry quarry]

easier than.. what?

[spark tulip]

Question: Is it normal to create a service for methods like set, get, update, clear, and other operations related to a single item, such as a car? I want to retrieve data from the save system (SaveLoadSystem) on request for each car, meaning getting the same class but with different data. Additionally, there are other data about currency that I placed in a different service dedicated to currency data exchange. These services are unrelated to data saving. Is an interface implemented that collects all the data from the services and then saves it in a specified form or type? I thought about generalizing everything, but is this necessary (or is it needed)? Is it better to have one interface for each service required in the application as needed? Hmmm...

[summer stump]

Probably want to do a spherecast (or circle if this is 2d) that is the width of the player.
A ray is infinitely thin, so it may miss something above you while the actual collider does not

[warm condor]

ahhh ok. Thank you for that! I'll keep that in mind.

[ionic zephyr]

hi guys, how is this type of inventory created? the one that has buttons that switch to each category of the inventory? Is it made with actual Unity Buttons or is there a UI Element that I dont know?

[slender nymph]

that's just a tab view where each view just filters the items shown to a specific type

[ionic zephyr]

what do you mean with "tab view"?

[slender nymph]

a view with tabs to switch between different views

and infact, that doesn't even need tabs. just buttons that literally just filter what is being displayed

[ionic zephyr]

so maybe I can have a component that enables and unables the different Pannels?

depending on the Button you click In

[slender nymph]

well that's what a tab view would be. but again, this doesn't even need to be one. it just needs to filter which items are displayed

[muted narwhal]

It is filtering what displayed, not opening tabs

[ionic zephyr]

oh, okay I see, my intention was to use different tabs, so I get it now

[muted narwhal]

You basically can assign a specific type to every item and then display ‘em in the inventory depending on the active filter, if you want that

[ionic zephyr]

okay, thanks a lot

[marble hemlock]

does anyone have a suggested video that helps with creating first person movement and mostly gets straight to the point?

[slender nymph]

"the point" of tutorials are to teach you how and why you do certain things. if you are just looking for a video that just gives you the code to copy then good luck 👍

[queen adder]

There are different types of controllers, so suggesting you a random one might not fit for you

[marble hemlock]

ill just watch a bunch and see what overlaps until something clicks in my brain

[rocky canyon]

the click method.. it works.. results may vary

[rocky canyon]

they are absolutely videos like that to post the entire code in the description.. but what do u learn from that??

[rocky canyon]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PmIPqGqp8UY&ab_channel=AcaciaDeveloper i liked this when i was learning he stops and explains a few things that are important

[edgy vine]

I am creating a 2D sandbox game within Unity using Alteruna for multiplayer. I have a script that uses a sprite renderer to render everyone elses curser on peoples screen so they can see. Currently though all cursors from other clients all go to the main client mouse position. How would I keep the mouse position different from everyone elses then sync the positon?
TLDR: How to do client sided move sprite onto mouse position then sync using Alteruna?

[languid spire]

#archived-networking

[marble hemlock]

thank you 🫡
its been a while since ive worked in unity, and i was a beginner then, so ive kinda just went back down to 0 in terms of knowledge

i mostly remember my way around the UI and such but lots of things just sorta disappeared over the past year or so

[rocky canyon]

happens..

Does anybody know why the Start debug runs but the Update one doesn't?

[rich adder]

presumably this object gets disabled at some point

[polar acorn]

Are you pressing "T"

[echo ruin]

Yes

I tried to change the key as well

[languid spire]

Or you're not pressing the T key, or the old input system is not enabled or... or...or...

[polar acorn]

Show a screenshot of this object's inspector while the game is running

[marble hemlock]

ive ended up spending far too much time in blender now 😭

i mean im not good at it, prob cuz im not actually watching any tutorials but
i mean now i kinda get how map building works so 👍

[rich adder]

but what does this have to do with coding questions?

[marble hemlock]

fascinating question

well uh i dont have an answer

[rocky canyon]

nothing wrong w/ the code itself..

[echo ruin]

It also works when I remove the if statement

[rocky canyon]

then its ur input.. do you have the old input system enabled

[echo ruin]

I don't even know what the old input system is

[rocky canyon]

lol.. that means its probably still turned on

[rich adder]

its the Input system, but older

old
https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/class-InputManager.html
new
https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.inputsystem@1.8/manual/index.html

[rocky canyon]

edit -> project settings -> player -> other settings -> active input handling

[echo ruin]

It was set to old

[rocky canyon]

then ur inputs should be registering 🤔

the Input. class is the old

[echo ruin]

I changed from old input to Both and now it works

[vital tangle]

Hi

I have a trouble with json

[rocky canyon]

very interesting

[unborn rampart]

anyone that has an idea on how to code guis?

im a fast learner ig

[rich adder]

okay

[rich adder]

what does that even mean..

[vital tangle]

You see i have a json string which is serialized

and instead of deserializing the string back to a object? class type

i am deserializing it back to JObject

Now my goal is to change the key name of every keyvaluepair<string, object?> inside the jobject i got

i dont know how to do that?

google aint documented about this

if i use a foreach loop like this

        {

            //if (kvp.Value is JObject)
            {

            }
        }```

I can only loop and read the keys

not write them

[unborn rampart]

i wanna mod a game so like i need to add guis with coding

[languid spire]

Can't do that thew keys are immutable

[vital tangle]

the jtoken actually allow you to edit both the keys and values as well
but i dont know how to access them

not documented

[languid spire]

creeate a new JObject and write the new kvp into it

[vital tangle]

tried

i failed
cuz i lack the complete knowledge of how json works

[rich adder]

json is nothing special

its only a kvp with special text formatting

[vital tangle]

    {
        List<KeyValuePair<string, object?>> ks = new List<KeyValuePair<string, object?>>();
        ks.Add(new KeyValuePair<string, object?>("paint", "this"));
        jobj.ReplaceAll(ks);
        string jsn = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(jobj, Formatting.Indented);

        return jsn;
    }```

[vital tangle]

i just wanna paint text by adding html color code within the keys to highlight them

just like how websites highlight their codes

[vital tangle]

i tried this
it failed

so i am kinda out of ideas how to achieve the result

[wintry quarry]

you want to change the key name in what way? Can you show an example?

[languid spire]

you do realize that this
ks.Add(new KeyValuePair<string, object?>("paint", "this"));
is nonsense

[vital tangle]

yea sadly

[vital tangle]

wait let me

[rich adder]

 JObject paintedJobj = new JObject();
        foreach (var property in jobj.Properties())
        {
            string paintedKey = $"<span style=\"color: red;\">{property.Name}</span>";
            paintedJobj.Add(new JProperty(paintedKey, property.Value));
        }
``` try it but might not work

use spans for html

[wintry quarry]

Is the goal here just to display formatted json with color coding on a web page or something

I think the correct approach is probably not to use JObject but instead write a custom NamingStrategy:

https://www.newtonsoft.com/json/help/html/T_Newtonsoft_Json_Serialization_NamingStrategy.htm and then you add your custom formatting in ResolvePropertyName: https://www.newtonsoft.com/json/help/html/M_Newtonsoft_Json_Serialization_NamingStrategy_ResolvePropertyName.htm

This example shows how to use a special naming strategy with JsonConvert:
https://www.newtonsoft.com/json/help/html/NamingStrategyCamelCase.htm

[silver lagoon]

I have an object which is a prefab that has an instance in the scene editor. If I delete the prefab, will the instance be deleted too?

[wintry quarry]

You could probably also write a custom inherited version of JsonWriter:
https://www.newtonsoft.com/json/help/html/t_newtonsoft_json_jsonwriter.htm and override this: https://www.newtonsoft.com/json/help/html/M_Newtonsoft_Json_JsonWriter_WritePropertyName.htm

[vital tangle]

see this visual studio
how it highlights the json

the whole json is like a JObject and has key value pairs

one the first 2 are keyvaluepairs<string, int?>

the 3rd one is a keyvaluepair<string, JObject?>

and the last one is from the 3rd key value pair JObject which has only one keyvaluepair<string,string?>

i just want to somewhat achieve the same color highlight

by added this arround the string key
<color=#FFFFFF>Key</color=#FFFFFF>

[wintry quarry]

the instance will not be deleted but it will show as a broken prefab reference

[vital tangle]

sorry for the delay

[wintry quarry]

yes see my answers above for how to best do this

Here #💻┃code-beginner message and here #💻┃code-beginner message

[vital tangle]

let me take a look at it and let you know

[silver lagoon]

Would this break anything to do with the object? Could I remove the prefab reference so it's just a normal object somehow, it being a prefab is actively bad in this case

[wintry quarry]

You can remove the prefab reference yes. Just right click on it and go to -> Prefab -> Unpack Completely

[silver lagoon]

Thank you

[stark girder]

I want to change items in hand with mouse wheel or numbers on keyboard but the mouse keeps overwriting the numerical inputs

[languid spire]

well it will, think about what happens if NO key is pressed

[primal trench]

how do i change the index of an array item?

[languid spire]

you move the item to a different location in the array

[primal trench]

yes but how do i do that? sorry if this is a dumb question i just couldnt figure it out

[languid spire]

what like
int[] a
a[2] = a[0]
i.e. copy index 0 to index 2

[primal trench]

wouldn't that then remove index 0?

[languid spire]

no

[rich adder]

arrays cannot remove elements

they are fixed sizes / length.
Also no way assigning would remove ANY element

[wintry quarry]

I mean look at what your else does

[stark girder]

I know but I dont know how to rewrite it to make it not do what it does now

[wintry quarry]

that shouldn't be an unconditional else it needs to be like else if (mouse input is not 0) (pseudocode of course)

else happens no matter what

you only want it to happen when there's mouse scroll input

[stark girder]

I felt like an idiot before but this is so simple am a few levels even beyond that

[rich adder]

I recall someone using keycode int cast inside an array to make this easier than a giant if else chain

[wintry quarry]

I've seen things that were way dumber than this, don't worry.

[wintry quarry]

also yes to this

[stark girder]

anyway thanks for enlightening me :D.

[wintry quarry]

e.g.

for( int i = 0; i < 9; i++) {
  KeyCode k = (KeyCode)((int)KeyCode.Alpha1 + i);
  if (Input.GetKeyDown(k)) INVindex = i;
}```

This is much better than 8-9 if statements^

[rich adder]

I have to save this cause I keep forgetting it 😛

[wintry quarry]

Ok it needs to be this to compile (also fixed above):

KeyCode k = (KeyCode)((int)KeyCode.Alpha1 + i);```

[vital tangle]

hey suppose i have something that takes arguement as object?

how do i specify its object type

[slender nymph]

can you elaborate? because it sounds like you want a method parameter and for that you just . . . use the type you want for the parameter

[vital tangle]

        foreach (var kvp in jobj)
        {
            KeyValuePair<string, JToken?> keyValue = new KeyValuePair<string, JToken?>("<color=00FF08>" + kvp.Key + "<color=00FF08>", kvp.Value);
            obj.Add(keyValue);
        }

now the arguement it takes is this JObject.Add(object?)

[slender nymph]

ah so this is a continuation of a previous conversation that i don't feel like going through to understand what you are doing or why

[vital tangle]

and i am giving it JObject.Add(KeyValuePair<string, JToken?>)

[vital tangle]

why??

[slender nymph]

because i simply don't want to. someone else who is more familiar with whatever you are doing or who wants to read through that previous conversation can help you

[vital tangle]

ok

I did it

[vital tangle]

thanks for the help

[fickle stump]

Is there a way to 'block' a gameobject from beeing pressed until an animation is finished?

i mean blocking as in the player cant click it again

[tidal kiln]

disable it

[wintry quarry]

How are you handling it being "clicked" in the first place?

[fickle stump]

if i disable it doesnt it get unloaded basically?

[tidal kiln]

no

if you set the gameobject to inactive it does

disable the script

[wintry quarry]

we don't even know if there's a script involved yet

[fickle stump]

do you want the honest awnser? cuz it's super dirty haha

[tidal kiln]

component

[fickle stump]

wait one sec

[wintry quarry]

yes I want the honest answer of course

because it's the only way to answer your question

ah mb

[tidal kiln]

its all scripts/components, even unity built in buttons. you just set whatever handles the click component.enabled = false

[fickle stump]

https://gdl.space/eqovunavus.cs

[tidal kiln]

oh wait my bad

default button is something else

[fickle stump]

so i disable the script?

[wintry quarry]

Use an animation event to set a bool true/false and check that bool in this code

or use a StateMachineBehaviour

[fickle stump]

i see

[tidal kiln]

this can be annoying to change. i think it would be better to play the animation, start a coroutine, get the clip length then wait for it to finish in coroutine

[fickle stump]

basically im gonna check if an animation is playing, if not, it goes into the if (animator != null) and lets me play it

[fickle stump]

i dont think i ever worked with a coroutine

i'm still super noob

[steep rose]

use a bool to find this out

[tidal kiln]

time to start. they are really helpful

Why are you using JObject and JToken when the types are known?

This is either overcomplication or you are too lazy to make actual classes, in which case I suggest you just stick to classes and serialize those

If it's neither and this object actually has multiple types then I suggest you split them. JObject should not be used like this

[graceful walrus]

Is there not a way to check this before the input is processed? Maybe in the binding's processor?

[burnt vapor]

Make a singleton "CursorManager" which allows you to enable/disable it and it will fire an event you can subscribe to

Event also goes in the manager

[vital tangle]

yea my bad
now i fixed it here

    {
        JObject obj = new JObject();
        foreach (var kvp in jobj)
        {
            obj.Add("<color=#FF8800>" + kvp.Key + "</color=#FF8800>", kvp.Value);

            if (kvp.Value is JObject)
            {
                JObject nObj = (JObject)kvp.Value;
                string strn = paintKeys(nObj);

                JObject mObj = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<JObject>(strn);

                obj["<color=#FF8800>" + kvp.Key + "</color=#FF8800>"] = mObj;
                Debug.Log("it reached here");
            }
        }
        string str = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(obj, Formatting.Indented);
        return obj.ToString(Formatting.Indented);
    }```

but i am still having one last trouble

[burnt vapor]

You fixed it but I still see multiple instances of JObject

[vital tangle]

you see i am checking here if the value is again a JObject

if (kvp.Value is JObject)

how can i know if the Value is an array

[burnt vapor]

Why is this taking a JObject to begin with? Where is this code from?

[vital tangle]

i wrote it myself

[burnt vapor]

Either way it doesn't matter, your code always expects the same things so you should deserialize the JObject into a readable class before you do anything else in the method

Right now you are practically parsing and considering it's not varying data it makes no sense

[vital tangle]

i am just highlighting keys with colors to be shown

[burnt vapor]

So is the point to just modify the keys of a bunch of key value pairs?

You should still be able to do what I said. It would save you having to constantly deserialize/serialize code

If the point is specific to a key then you should probably also just use an interface so that it can be abstracted to any key-value pair

[vital tangle]

modifying keyvaluepair is not possible

so i had to cast

[glad rune]

i am making flappy bird how would i immobolize the player gravity included without stopping time

[rich adder]

gravity scale = 0

[wintry quarry]

immobolize the player gravity
What does this mean?

[glad rune]

the thing navarone said i meant that

[vital tangle]

I am having some troubles parsing JArray
Can you pls guide me?

whenever i use this foreach loop
the cast doesnt work

                foreach (JToken ajt in array.Children<JToken>())```

i thought that JArray just contains child JTokens which could be parsed into JObject

[pallid nymph]

so check what's the actual type of kvp.Value and adjust code to properly handle

also, can't you parse into a proper typed object instead?

[vital tangle]

its not a specific class which i serialized
I am making a text highlighter that could work for any json i give in as input

[pallid nymph]

not sure that's how you should do it... but haven't thought about it

[vital tangle]

here is the complete code

    {
        JObject obj = new JObject();
        foreach (var kvp in jobj)
        {
            if (kvp.Value is JObject)
            {
                JObject nObj = (JObject)kvp.Value;
                string strn = paintKeys(nObj);

                JObject mObj = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<JObject>(strn);

                obj["<color=#FF8800>" + kvp.Key + "</color=#FF8800>"] = mObj;
                Debug.Log("it reached here");
            }
            if(kvp.Value is JValue)
            {
                obj.Add("<color=#FF8800>" + kvp.Key + "</color=#FF8800>", kvp.Value);
            }
            if(kvp.Value is JArray)
            {
                JArray array = (JArray)kvp.Value;

                JArray narray = new JArray();

                for(int i = 0; i < array.Count; i++)
                {
                    Debug.Log(array[i].Type);

                    //JObject aobj = (JObject)ajt;
                    //string astr = paintKeys(aobj);
                    //JObject naobj = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<JObject>(astr);
                    //narray.Add(naobj);
                }
            }
        }
        string str = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(obj, Formatting.Indented);
        return obj.ToString(Formatting.Indented);
    }```

[hushed hinge]

and I don't get what I'm doing is right

[vital tangle]

it works but fails only for JArray

[pallid nymph]

where exactly does it fail actually? on which line?

[vital tangle]

only for JArray

            {
                JArray array = (JArray)kvp.Value;

                JArray narray = new JArray();

                for(int i = 0; i < array.Count; i++)
                {
                    Debug.Log(array[i].Type);

                    //JObject aobj = (JObject)ajt;
                    //string astr = paintKeys(aobj);
                    //JObject naobj = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<JObject>(astr);
                    //narray.Add(naobj);
                }
            }```

i cant seem to parse it correctly

[pallid nymph]

exact line

[vital tangle]

take it here where i cast the JToken

[pallid nymph]

like, what's the problem... because the cast can't be, as you've already made sure that kvp.Value is indeed a JArray

[vital tangle]

JObject aobj = (JObject)ajt;

[vital tangle]

yea its a JArray

but i am trying to get like array[i].get as magic JObject

[pallid nymph]

but it may not be a JObject... it bould be a value or array, no?

[vital tangle]

yea i debugged its type

its quite tricky

cause it shows twice that its type is a Object

and 99 times its an int

and i cant figure out how it works

the component of the array

not the array itself

the component like array[i] in loop

[pallid nymph]

what's the type of array[i]? I assume it's JSomething that's parent of all the array and other ones, no?

[vital tangle]

its a simple JArray

wait let me give example

[rich adder]

large code should be shared via links

[tranquil hollow]

the particle dosent turn off when Im in the air, can somebody help me?

[tranquil hollow]

oh

[tranquil hollow]

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

[tranquil hollow]

like this?

[pallid nymph]

the array is JArray, array[i] is JToken, which could be one of several things... so you need to handle those, maybe you need to call the function recursively, or just deal with the JToken somehow, no idea

[rich adder]

yes. also where is it supposed to turn off I dont see that in the code

[vital tangle]

now take this as example

  "Cages": {
    "Array": [
      {
        "Dogs": 2,
        "Cats": 4
      },

      {
        "Dogs": 6,
        "Cats": 1
      }
  }
}```

its an array

[vital tangle]

the whole thing is a JObject
You parse the JObject and get key and values

i check if the value is simple text or is another JObject

i can do that pretty easily

but what Array does is that it has an array of JObject

like JObject[]

but when i try to cast it

[pallid nymph]

it has JToken[]

[vital tangle]

it doesnt work

[rich adder]

that just sets a boolean to false. What does that have to do with ParticleSystem

[pallid nymph]

which can be JObject, JArray, JWhateverElse

[vital tangle]

yea

[tranquil hollow]

wrong link, thats the correct one https://hastebin.com/share/tahofubofa.csharp

[vital tangle]

but mostly its JObject

the Json i am trying
it should be JObject

[pallid nymph]

and if it's not - it throws an exception

[vital tangle]

but it still fails

[vital tangle]

maybe

[pallid nymph]

it fails, because it's not JObject

there are no maybes 😄

[rich adder]

Yes I can see that. My question still remains though

[steel stirrup]

If you mean freeze the player, you'd cache the velocity and set to kinematic

[glad rune]

how

[rich adder]

kinematic will freeze the whole rigidbody not just gravity, is that what you want?

[glad rune]

yeah
