Yep

Still doesn’t work

[worthy vault]

hi

check #📲┃ui-ux

[dry igloo]

I have a question about deltaTime, just to make sure I got it right :
I should multiply a speed by deltaTime
but I shouldn't multiply a jump force by deltaTime

is that correct ?

[languid spire]

no, when you do or do not use deltaTime depends upon the context within which you are using it

[dry igloo]

Sorry, I think my question wasn't clear, I'll give more context about my question :

The jump force is a force you apply one time during an input (so you apply the force one time)
The speed is a transformation you apply every frame in the update (let's consider the player always press the move key here)

[ionic zephyr]

Hy guys, why is my UI disordered when I enter maximized screen?

[languid spire]

And you did not understand my answer because there are multiple ways of applying force and speed, some of them require deltaTime and some do not

[muted narwhal]

How'd I get cursor position? I tried
var mouseWorldPosition = Camera.main.ScreenToWorldPoint(Mouse.current.position.ReadValue());, but that isn't working

[ionic zephyr]

It happens only in Game screen but I dont know why

Does it have to do with the canvas scaler?

[marble hemlock]

i think this goes here?
do objects from blender automatically have a collider or do i have to set that up?

[languid spire]

you have to add it

and, no, it is not a code question

[marble hemlock]

oh

which channel is best

[languid spire]

#🔀┃art-asset-workflow

[primal aurora]

Input.mousePosition;

[marble hemlock]

thank you

[muted narwhal]

The same thing, but uses old input system.

[primal aurora]

thats how you do it with the old input system

[stark girder]

public class HandIKCrawlSolver : MonoBehaviour
{
    [SerializeField]
    private Transform body;
    [SerializeField]
    private float footPacing;

    private Vector3 newPos;

    [SerializeField]
    private LayerMask isGround;
    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update()
    {
        Ray ray = new Ray(transform.position,Vector3.down);
        if (Physics.Raycast(ray, out RaycastHit hitInfo, 10, isGround))
        {
            if ((transform.position - hitInfo.point).magnitude >= footPacing)
            {
                transform.position = hitInfo.point;
                newPos = hitInfo.point;
            }
            Debug.Log(hitInfo.point);
        }
    }
}```
I want to make it look like crawling but cant figure out how to fix the hand to the ground before next step

[muted narwhal]

It's supposed to place item GO on cursor's position, but it's just goes to somewhere in the corner

[wintry quarry]

Console.Log??

You mean Debug.Log?

[muted narwhal]

A custom class and method of mine

[wintry quarry]

Anyway world position and canvas position aren't the same thing, under most circumstances

What are the canvas settings

And what are the settings for the parent

[wintry quarry]

You need https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/RectTransformUtility.PixelAdjustPoint.html

World space isn't involved

[hushed hinge]

#1265813900037853255 message I am back to the problem witht he number 0 not going up when touching a muon object...

[muted narwhal]

Still doesn't seems to work; the same situation, object is somewhere in the corner

[zenith cypress]

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Camera.ScreenToWorldPoint.html if your camera is a perspective one, you need to give the point a z depth

[muted narwhal]

Already tried ScreenToWorldPoint

still the same situation

[zenith cypress]

You didn't give it a z depth

[muted narwhal]

oh?

[zenith cypress]

Look at the doc example

[muted narwhal]

ah

already tried like that.

still same

[polar acorn]

Let's try getting a bit more info:

Vector3 screnPoint = new Vector3(mousePos.x, mousePos.y, Camera.main.nearClipPlane));
Vector3 worldPoint = Camera.main.ScreenToWorldPoint(screenPoint);
Debug.Log($"Translating screen point for camera at {Camera.main.transform.position} - Screen Point: {screenPoint} - World Point {worldPoint}");

[muted narwhal]

Looks like there's something with this line

(don't mind that's it commented)

Without this line it's actually works more promising

I'm not sure what's wrong tho?

#1265813900037853255 message I don't get what i am supposed to do...

[cosmic quail]

damn thats a long thread. whats the question?

[polar acorn]

They want someone to write an entire data persistence model for them and will bury you in unrelated screenshots and videos until you're just so goddam tired of explaining how references work you just write them code for them to copy

[cosmic quail]

oh 😵‍💫

[hushed hinge]

well they said that the issue is writting (new data) that creating a new one with no data and loading a value from it, since i am having a problem with it that saving the number of the ui text from the level select scene to make a number go up, and i need to do something that LoadData are being called

[primal trench]

how would i split a string at a specifc character index instead of a character
like for example
instead of
split at a
it's
split at character 5

[rich adder]

strings are just array of chars

so use index

[primal trench]

so like
string[5].split?

[rich adder]

Substring

[polar acorn]

You'd use substrings.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.string.substring?view=net-8.0

Get the substring from 0 to 5, and from 5 to end

[cosmic quail]

are u saving ur stuff into a serializable class and putting that inside a file?

[hushed hinge]

https://gdl.space/tavelizuqo.cs muon counter which is just in the level select
https://gdl.space/haxaqixave.cpp the counter which is in the game stage plays
and not only that, i am supposed to call loadData somewhere https://gdl.space/opukavebud.cs

at first the numbers worked before that a number changes up when i touched a muon object, but not anymore after this

[steel stirrup]

Your problem is that your overall design makes zero sense

You need to separate out your UI code from your backend

[rich adder]

thats because its a combination of different people they pasted code together from

[cosmic quail]

also what is IDataPersistence? an asset from the asset store?

[rich adder]

they refuse to actually go back n redo it properly, they rather just scotch taping it together

[steel stirrup]

The only things that are lost on scene load (assuming non-additive and not using DontDestroyOnLoad) are monobehaviors

So just store your game state in a regular c# object

and use monos to display it in the appropriate scene

[rich adder]

"how do i do that"

yea goodluck with that one

[summer stump]

If all monobehaviours that reference the poco are destroyed, it will be gc'd
Where do you propose to reference the poco if not using additive or ddol?

[rich adder]

that makes 0 sense btw. You cannot store anything in c# objects without MB to be the containing class

You need a mono to run a poco constructor anywhere..

if the class is static thats another thing (but those dont have constructors so)

[steel stirrup]

I'm very confused by what you're saying, just use an initializer + statics

[polar acorn]

It's some crap they copied from the top google result for "save system" and they are just winging it by smashing together random example code without regard to what it means

[cosmic quail]

oh ok

[rich adder]

. redacted

[steel stirrup]

You probably have a scene (or rolled into splash) where you load the first sets of assets that you need, just initialize things then

[steel stirrup]

Static constructors exist

also [runtimeinitializeonload]

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/programming-guide/classes-and-structs/static-constructors

[summer stump]

This is not going to be a good suggestion for this person specifically

[rich adder]

completely unrelated to OPs issue though

[steel stirrup]

They don't need anything this complicated

[summer stump]

Unless you want to spend the couple weeks holding their hand getting them set up for it

[steel stirrup]

I'm just very confused by the idea that you need to use monobehaviors to store data

That's absolutely insane to me

[rich adder]

throwing static at everything is more insane

[steel stirrup]

A singleton is insane?

[rich adder]

you don't need to use MB to store anything , no one is saying that

[rich adder]

in a singleton pattern, only the instance is static.. Nothing else

[summer stump]

Then maybe lets drop it. The context here is helping them.
Can you explain what you mean by this comment if it is too complicated for them?
#💻┃code-beginner message

[hushed hinge]

backend?

[steel stirrup]

Yes, and that instance is not going to be gc'd

I really do not get the logic in your initial statement

[summer stump]

Unless you destroy the object, which WILL happen if not in ddol or additive which you specified
Then yes, of course it will be gc'd

[rich adder]

we're talking about Unity specific

you're going off on some other shit

[steel stirrup]

Why are you assuming the class inherits mono?

[rich adder]

Im curious, show me how you can store data in poco class in unity without the class being static?

[summer stump]

Why are you talking about things that are not relevant to linedol?

[hushed hinge]

where it holds loadData and SaveData https://gdl.space/qoxosufate.cs

[summer stump]

This is an interface. It doesn't "hold" anything. Just to be clear

[hushed hinge]

oh

[muted narwhal]

When instantiating an object, it has really small size in rect transform (can't even see it), compared to original GO. How can I fix that?

[rich adder]

make the scale of the parent good

[muted narwhal]

it's the same size as canvas

[hushed hinge]

the text worked before with changing the nnumber up, but ever since the instance... the number doesn't change up anymore, and i did showed in a recent screenshot in the thread...

[rich adder]

the same as the canvas ? that can't be right..

you should def not want that

[muted narwhal]

What's the problem?

[rich adder]

canvas isn't at scale 1,1,1 is it..

[muted narwhal]

it is

[primal trench]

hey dumb questin, what does .Clone do?

[rich adder]

but you're parenting it to something else ?

_dragParent

[polar acorn]

Depends on what you're calling it on but it probably clones an object

[steel stirrup]

Not quite sure what you're asking for since this isn't even a question I've seen pop up before if you just approach a unity project as a regular C# project, but scene changes would have absolutely no impact on something like this

[muted narwhal]

_dragParent is canvas children

[primal trench]

so if i do
Gameobject.Clone it will basically do what duplicating it in the editor will do?

[muted narwhal]

size of it isn't changing

[polar acorn]

[muted narwhal]

only width and height

what's the problem?

[steel stirrup]

Are you talking about the ICloneable member?

[rich adder]

this doesnt make sense

but ok

[analog moon]

can someone help me out

[steel stirrup]

post menu class, but you have a couple different issues

[hushed hinge]

and soemtimes, when things liek that happening... it amkes me sad, and it hurts...
and I think i forgot to tell you that the counter script is in the ui text of the coin counter.

[muted narwhal]

bump

[steel stirrup]

did you check the scale of what you instantiated?

[analog moon]

what is that?

[rich adder]

that is not the problem @hushed hinge

You're running a method you're not supposed to inside the initilizer

[steel stirrup]

you have an array of menu objects, show your menu class since all of the errors are from trying to access things in that class

[muted narwhal]

ah, looked at the wrong parameter; the size of original GO (in rect transform) is 100, 100, and of instantiated is 0, 0

I think I know how to fix it?

[hushed hinge]

that with the whole new Data?

[wintry quarry]

just set up the anchoring of the prefab properly

[muted narwhal]

what anchoring has to weight and height wtf

I've already setted it up

[analog moon]

@steel stirrup this is my menu scrpt

[rich adder]

Im talking about the erro you have in the Counter script.
You have first of all too many scripts to do specific saving

[steel stirrup]

Well that's not what you're storing objects of

your array is Menu[]

that class is menu

[rich adder]

show the parent you spawn it into

[analog moon]

ohhhh

[steel stirrup]

yeah look at the top of your menumanager script

youre using unityeditor

because that's probably

[analog moon]

thanks tho

[hushed hinge]

what error in the counter script? i don't have any errors in the counter script

[rich adder]

[hushed hinge]

that was something not supposed to be there and i have removed it

and counter seems to be not calling muoncounter since i've jsut the debug.log for it
like
if (muonCounter == null)
{
Debug.LogError("MuonCounter not being found");
}
else
{
muonCounter.UpdateText();
Debug.Log("number go up");
}

ever since the instance...

[signal owl]

Hello, i've started with Unity and currently im trying to make a registration via Firebase
https://pastebin.com/WruP8g6L
That is my code

And that is my error:
Looking for help, I haven't found anything googling yet

[wintry quarry]

read the full error

also any other errors

that's just an "AggregateException" which is a grouping of other errors

without showign the full message we can't tell anything

[signal owl]

Sorry mate, thats the full one

[rich adder]

You should know by now why or at least how to fix it. This is nothing new to you, essentially doing the same things . I'm not sure how you still haven't seen that pattern

[wintry quarry]

Are there any other logs? According to your code you should also be getting a log with a reason, no?

[ionic zephyr]

why do the objects in my UI get desorganized when I maximize screen?

[wintry quarry]

Because you haven't anchored them properly

[steel stirrup]

UI elements are positioned relative to hierarchy using anchors

[signal owl]

Nop, thats all

[wintry quarry]

https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.ugui@1.0/manual/UIBasicLayout.html#anchors

[wintry quarry]

no logs at all? Because line 180 has a log that should be printing

it won't be an error

just a normal log

[signal owl]

thats what i see

[rich adder]

ahh firebase..

[wintry quarry]

do you have logs hidden? (Can't tell because I can't see the top right of your console)

[signal owl]

these?

Sorry im new to Unity

[wintry quarry]

This unfortunately tells us that it's just not one of those known error types

You can add a Debug.Log($"The error type is {authError}");

that may help a little

[signal owl]

Sec

Is that a command to get more knowledge about errors in unity?

[wintry quarry]

if it's just an internal exception on their server side then you should reach out to google - that indicates a problem on their server

[wintry quarry]

it's a log statement

printing the error code

it's not anything to do with Unity other than the use of Debug.Log

Just printing the result of this which is in your code already
AuthError authError = (AuthError)firebaseException.ErrorCode;

[rich adder]

Firebase is crap, the unity integration sucks
go with Mongo or even Unity's own storage is getting good

[hushed hinge]

it worked before but not anymore ever since the instance, it's not liek i can write MuonCounter.instance.UpdateText();...

[signal owl]

So you say i should switch to another one?

[rich adder]

from my experience with these DBs and Unity , yes

[paper sable]

my player only jumps if my jump force is a big value, why does it do that? this is my jump code

private void Jump(InputAction.CallbackContext ctx) {
        if (jumpsLeft > 0) {
            rb.velocity = Vector3.zero;
            
            rb.AddForce(Vector3.up * jumpForce);
            
            jumpsLeft--;
            jumpTimer = 0;
        }
    }

[signal owl]

is mongodb easier to setup

[rich adder]

I can tell you even Mongodb has proper drivers for Unity

Unity has its own solution also called Unity Cloud Save

[summer stump]

Why not. That is literally exactly what I had told you to write
That is the entire point of the static accessor

[glad rune]

anyone knows why it only displays 3 and 1. supposed to also show 2. when i try it with countdown on 6 it goes 6,4,2,1

{
    StartCoroutine(CountdownUI());
}

IEnumerator CountdownUI()
{
    while (Countdown > 0)
    {
        CountdownText.text = Countdown.ToString();
        yield return new WaitForSeconds(1f);
        Countdown -= 1;

[summer stump]

What would the index denote?

[signal owl]

@rich adder Do your maybe have a tutorial on how to setup Mongo or Unitys db, or how to create the authentication

[primal trench]

well it doesn't have to be that, i just want to get the TextMeshPro from my object

[slender nymph]

https://unity.huh.how/references

[steel stirrup]

this is usually not something you want to do, but it's possible using GetComponentAtIndex

[summer stump]

GetComponent<TMP_Text>() ?
Assuming it is a text, because TextMeshPro is not a component

[hushed hinge]

ok, i have wrote the isntance there

[paper sable]

its still the same thing

[steel stirrup]

someone should add dark mode to the tutorial

[summer stump]

Not sure why you deleted it from the thread and reposted it here. But cool

[hushed hinge]

idk, sometimes when i am getting anxious about something, i couldn't think clearly on what Im' doing...

[rich adder]

they have on their website, I have a few videos on Cloud Save if you want

[gentle vortex]

how and why did this randomly start appearing

[steel stirrup]

you probably wound up importing system.numerics at some point

[wintry quarry]

because you added using System.Numerics; to your file. Probably the IDE added it by accident

[slender nymph]

https://unity.huh.how/compiler-errors/cs0104

[hushed hinge]

but it is not enough....

[summer stump]

Then stop. Take a break. Go eat something, take a nap, and come back to it later.

[summer stump]

As I said, that is NOT the issue

[primal trench]

get component takes in a string

[summer stump]

Nope

Not using the way I wrote it
There is another overload that does, but I prefer the generic overload (and you should too)

[gentle vortex]

oh my god when did all these libraries get added

yeah thanks chat

[rich adder]

Use the one with Generic

[polar acorn]

Don't use the string version, it's very obsolete

[hushed hinge]

...... sometimes this doesn't help me at all since if i am anxious about it, i do not want ot stop and leave everything be like that....

[primal trench]

huh?

im using the generic version

[summer stump]

Read what I wrote above

That is not the generic version

#💻┃code-beginner message

For one, it is SUPER annoying when people do that.
For two, you are just learning

[primal trench]

i dont like being annoying

[hushed hinge]

am I just supposed to leave the code like that..? I just don't want to leave it like that...

[signal owl]

On your youtube channel?

[rich adder]

for Unity Cloud Save yeah the older one, Trying to cover the new addition they did now you can save General data as well (gamedata) not just player data with C# (before it was only JS)

what are you looking to store exactly ?

[signal owl]

First of all, everything for authentification, then character data, like gold, hp, dmg, stats and stuff

rpg game

[rich adder]

well auth goes without saying when storing to db..

the auth is really easy to get goin in unity

email / password or just oAuth like google/ apple etc.

[rich adder]

so personal Player data

then yes go with Unity cloud save

[signal owl]

Alright thanks, i will do so

[rich adder]

https://youtu.be/1WWc8tYf900

[signal owl]

Ah thanks

[gentle vortex]

using your usual first person capsule character (and capsule collider), how can i get the angle of collision between said collider and the floor/sloop bellow

[wintry quarry]

your usual first person capsule character (and capsule collider)
There is no such thing as a "usual" character

every game is different

it would be more productive to show us your setup

[gentle vortex]

no the capsule is the usual thing here not the player
give me a second

[wintry quarry]

basically either:

• do a raycast and use the raycast hit normal.
• Use OnCollisionEnter/Stay and use the normal from the contact points

[gentle vortex]

alright

oh just to make sure im not being stupid, "normal" here refers to a vector3 with those -1 to 1 angles for multiplying with other vectors

[wintry quarry]

No it's a direction vector perpendicular to a surface

You're thinking of Quaternions probably?

[gentle vortex]

oh right

why did i decide to move my project from godot to unity

[wintry quarry]

No idea but normal vectors would be a concept in any game engine

Vector math is common to all game dev

[rich adder]

facts! thank you quake modding and source engine for teaching this valuable lesson

Unity has a cool page on this
https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/VectorCookbook.html
bet godot doesnt have that

[wintry quarry]

Maybe with the notable exception of text based adventures on DOS

[wintry quarry]

Interesting, TIL

Vector math is common to all aspects of real life, it'd be damn hard to move around without it

soooo hi all!!! anyone got that easy guide for setting neovim as your editor in unity on linux (popos)?

[rich adder]

google

also not really a coding question , more of a niche thing

[summer stump]

Pretty sure neovim has a guide.
I did that a while ago and it is quite a few steps

Edit: looking now, I don't think it actually was from neovim, because don't see one

[narrow matrix]

yup been doing that one all morning. thanks. can you suggest a better channel?

[rich adder]

maybe #💻┃unity-talk but not really unity topic as its not officially supported editor

[languid spire]

I doubt neovim is gonna play well with Unity, your best option is MonoDevelop

[rich adder]

VScode is fine on linux works great

I use it on Mint

[narrow matrix]

yeah but now we're just talking about talking so gonna stay focused on a solution. thanks for your resopnses.

[summer stump]

Please stop.

We get it

[rich adder]

okay. Well the guides are online, though as I said you're probably better off using VScode and customizing it a bit

you dont have to fiddle with omnisharp anymore since the Unity plugin came out

[narrow matrix]

which guide are you referring to?

[rich adder]

like this for example
https://github.com/walcht/neovim-unity

[narrow matrix]

yup been there

don't sweat it @rich adder i retract my question

[rich adder]

cool. best of luck mate

[cedar zenith]

Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone here could help me out with an issue or is this the wrong channel?

[topaz ice]

If you have a coding problem, and depending on the complexity it's the right channel

[cedar zenith]

Well, basically I was following a tutorial I saw online on making a 2d game but now my projectile attacks no longer show up(they’re invisible)

[topaz ice]

I'm pretty much "new" to unity, So I can't quite help, But I'm just waiting for everyone to finish thier own things

[patent junco]

I tried almost everything but I couldn't figure it out, can you help me?

[cedar zenith]

I see I see

[wintry quarry]

What is ContactInfo. Where is that defined?

[topaz ice]

Which tutorial were you using though? Or specificly what code are you using right now?

[eager spindle]

check the location of your bullet in the Inspector. while the game is playing, send us a photo of the Inspector showing us the bullet created.

[polar acorn]

What is ContactInfo

[cedar zenith]

I was watching a tutorial from Pandemonium

[cedar zenith]

I’m sorry I’m not really sure how to tell

[topaz ice]

I searched up Pandemonium on youtube and it just showed me that one ultrakill bossfight

[cedar zenith]

Try pandemonium 2d game tutorial?

[topaz ice]

alr

[cedar zenith]

In part 8 he showed the fix needed but when I tried that it didn’t work

[topaz ice]

I skipped around and all I saw was him making a chainsaw and changing the layers

[topaz ice]

If you check 'Hierarchy' I think (if you're duplicating it) you'll see it pop up

in there

I reccomend check that out (maybe)

[cedar zenith]

The thing is that the attack projectiles are in my hierarchy as prefabs, layer set as foreground and everything necessary from the video

But still isn’t working

😭

[topaz ice]

Did you set the "User Layers" correctly?

like don't set the projectiles user layers 6 and the background 7

I dunno just making numbers

[cedar zenith]

According to the tutorial, I set the layer to foreground

Which should mean it’s above whatever I set as the background

I even tried removing said background but it’s still invisible

[topaz ice]

It says to change it to enemy (Maybe we're using diffrent tutorials)

you're using https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YSzmCf_L2cE&list=PLgOEwFbvGm5o8hayFB6skAfa8Z-mw4dPV&index=8 right?

[cedar zenith]

Yeah I’m using this

[topaz ice]

Well he changes the layer to enemy.

(on the chainsaw)

[cedar zenith]

Ah. We are talking about the fireballs right?

[topaz ice]

I actually didn't see fireballs in the tutorial sec

[ionic zephyr]

I dont get what the anchors have to do with my UI moving wherever it wants when maximized screen

[cedar zenith]

Ohhh

[rich adder]

then you dont understand anchors

also not a code question

[cedar zenith]

It’s somewhere under the fixes section . Like the near end of that section

[topaz ice]

I found it and also he clicks a little checkmark on the top

to enable it

[cedar zenith]

In the prefab setting or the hierarchy?

[cedar zenith]

So I tried ticking it but when I press play, it just I ticks

[topaz ice]

I ticks?

[cedar zenith]

Checking the box I mean

Like ✔️

[topaz ice]

are you clicking the fireball in Hierarchy to check if its on in Inspector?

AFK doggys begging for food

[cedar zenith]

Wdym?

[topaz ice]

back

[topaz ice]

What? Just select the fireball in Hierarchy, Then

Check if its on in Inspector

[topaz ice]

Its off

[rich adder]

https://screenshot.help

[topaz ice]

The checkbox near the name of the fireball is off

[cedar zenith]

When I turn it on and press play, it just for whatever reason turns off automatically

[cedar zenith]

Sorry, bad habit 😭

[rich adder]

then you have a script doing it

[topaz ice]

I use windows key + shift + S

[cedar zenith]

I have a player attack script and a projectile script

[rich adder]

this is a prefab what about in playmode

you have a reference to that ? thats the only way it would turn off by itself in playmode

[cedar zenith]

I’m new to the whole unity thing so I have no idea if I’m going to be honest 😓

Anyone know how I can like, make it not a prefab?

Was working fine when it wasn’t a prefab tbh

[topaz ice]

I think Prefab means premade

like someone made it for you before, Or you followed a tutorial 1-1 in every way

[cedar zenith]

Well I made the assets and animations and scripts myself. It only turned into a prefab after I put it in some folder

[rich adder]

oh maybe its not a prefab and the icon just looks different on light mode

usually its not filled

[cedar zenith]

Right lemme change to dark mode

[cedar zenith]

This is a prefab right?

[rich adder]

no this is a prefab

[topaz ice]

Did you manually turn dark mode to light mode? I don't remember having light mode.
Maybe I automatically changed to dark mode so easily I forgot doing it lol

[topaz ice]

The fact it literally says (Prefab) right next to the name is probably a good enough explanation

[cedar zenith]

I don’t remember haha……

[topaz ice]

I'm just gonna google it

[cedar zenith]

ah. I see

[rich adder]

for them it says prefab at the bottom so 🤷‍♂️

but the icon was dead give away

[topaz ice]

Alright

[hushed hinge]

as long imma make art designs for my game to take a tiny break from it

[topaz ice]

Did you make art designs more than anything else?
(like are you using it as an escape or something? (((just asking))) )

[cedar zenith]

Yep, opened it

[topaz ice]

....iiiiitttt works?

[cedar zenith]

It……doesn’t work

[rich adder]

ok dont start it disabled

[topaz ice]

awh

[rich adder]

just make sure check mark is on.

[round mirage]

Why my bool variable animation end dont change (my variable is public , for call the function i use the event key in the animator)

[round mirage]

ohhh

[cedar zenith]

Check mark is one, but when I pres play, still invisible and off

[topaz ice]

@cedar zenith do you think you'll get this problem as a core memory that you wont mess up again when you learn what the problem was?

[topaz ice]

the layer is default

[round mirage]

      {
        PlayerAnim.SetBool("isDrinking", true);
        StartCoroutine(DrinkTime());
      } 

[topaz ice]

its `

like 3 of them

[rich adder]

what about the one that spwans ?

show that one

[cedar zenith]

Oh that? Yeah no it can’t spawn 😭

[rich adder]

whats the original issue because I only got here

[cedar zenith]

Layer was also default in the tutorial 😭

[topaz ice]

NAHHHH

[round mirage]

    {
        animationEnd = true;

[topaz ice]

turn it on enemy lol

I dunno I'd rather just give you to enemy

it wasn't that. but still

[rich adder]

why dont you just use Animation Events

[cedar zenith]

Wait but this is projectiles for the player’s use

[round mirage]

i use it

[hushed hinge]

i made tons of art for my game and other things

[topaz ice]

still it'll appear

[rich adder]

so whats supposed to happen vs whats happening

[cedar zenith]

I’m just gonna make a enemy layer then brb

I’M NEVER TOUCHING THIS SOFTWARE AGAIN AFTER MY ASSIGNMENT

[topaz ice]

But are you using the possibility of making art, just as an escape from other things or smth?

[rich adder]

skill issue 😛

you still havent explained the original issue

[cedar zenith]

This I will admit.

[hushed hinge]

i don't get about you saying using it as an escape?

[rich adder]

also you typically dont jump into such complex things without doing the learn pathways

[cedar zenith]

Um, my projectiles now for some reason?

[cedar zenith]

Yeah…..well, I’m trying to improve and reflect I guess

[topaz ice]

Well I'm stupid when I make games and I can't make anything a habit, I always accidently find work arounds of starting habits, and one of them was to just do anything else but scripting, until I just didn't have anything left but to script it, and cancelled the whole thing cuz... skill issue.

[round mirage]

at the end of my animation the animation event is supposed to start and then set animation end on true my coroutine start wait 2 seconds and set animation end to false (when animation end is set to true i cant play again my animation)

[cedar zenith]

Thanks @rich adder and @topaz ice for your help

[topaz ice]

aw

[topaz ice]

Yipee!! (wait we're done?)

[cedar zenith]

Nah, I’m just gonna figure it out myself from here

😭

[fossil ether]

does anybody know some resources that talk about procedurally animated spiders? I have a working procedurally animated spider but it gets messed up when i try to make it walk on surfaces with steep slopes.

I think I need to cast some horizontal rays to check for obstacles in front since I'm only casting downwards rays from above every foot but I'm not sure what to do

[hushed hinge]

i jsut wante dto take a break from it until i can come back to get help

[topaz ice]

Well honestly, If you're willing to suffer more, Uhh... just remember to refresh your mind a bit by taking a break at some points

[topaz ice]

Oh alr.

[rich adder]

your projectile what for some reason ?

[gentle vortex]

so i made this to make my player interact with slopes properly, as in; gaining upward momentum from quick movement up a slope, but it has it's jank, movedir.y still increases while going down and the player doesn't stick to the slope, any ways to fix that (or another way to do what this code does)? i can't think of any

[cedar zenith]

Oh crud. I meant that it was working fine until I turned them into prefabs according to the tutorial and now they’re invisible

[round mirage]

i have already sent my code

[rich adder]

you sent screenshots

[topaz ice]

you're reminding me of this video

It has something that moves fast like a spider and its also procedurally animated in some sort of way.
If thats what you meant you could check it out

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KPoeNZZ6H4s

not a tutorial

but he talks alot about the math

[fossil ether]

I've watched it and its a great video but it doesn't relate to my problem sadly

[round mirage]

here

[rich adder]

when they spawn ?

[topaz ice]

aw, alright.

[round mirage]

and here

[fossil ether]

this is the current version

[rich adder]

this isnt the whole script

[topaz ice]

Also you're in code-beginner

you could just go into #archived-code-advanced

or smth

[fossil ether]

ah alright

[topaz ice]

anyway after like idk 1 hour I can ask about my problem lol-

float mouseX = Input.GetAxis("Mouse X") * mouseSensitivity * Time.deltaTime;

Debug.Log(mouseX);

Constantly prints 0 and maybe goes up a very small bit. (for 1 messege)
Is it like a project setting problem or something?

I also do
Cursor.visible = false;
Not sure if it'll do anything though.

MouseY works. fine.

I'm making a first person thing...

and its only detecting the mouseY not mouseX

[rich adder]

dont use time.deltaTime on mouse inputs

use the links Like i said many times already..

its not that difficult to understand the basic instructions

[round mirage]

ok

[fossil ether]

bro just sent the entire project code through discord chat lol

[rich adder]

I bet they're gonna keep it up and send the link instead of editing the messages

[plucky moss]

how do I make it that when the vent is enabled the boolean is on (what I have now) but when I press E again it disables and the boolean gets set to off?

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

public class freezebutton : MonoBehaviour
{
public GameObject vent;
public GameObject UI;
public bool ventOn;
// Start is called before the first frame update
void Start()
{

}

// Update is called once per frame
void OnTriggerStay(Collider other)
{
    if(other.tag == ("Player"))
    {
        if(Input.GetKey(KeyCode.E))
        {
            vent.SetActive(true);
            ventOn = true;
        }
    }
}

}

this is what I have so far

[plucky moss]

gulp

[topaz ice]

Also about my problem, I'm just gonna... refollow the script

exactly 1-1

[rich adder]

so the Coroutine doesnt work ? Did I get that right ?

[languid spire]

nothing there sets ventOn to false

[plucky moss]

ik thats what im tryna find out

[round mirage]

my variable animation end is not set to true

[gentle vortex]

made this to make my player interact with slopes, as in; gaining upward momentum from quick movement up a slope, but it has it's jank, it still increases while going down a slope and the player doesn't exactly stick to the slope, any ways to fix that (or another way to do what this code does)? i can't think of any
quickly going to point out that i do know why this is happening

[languid spire]

then you are looking at the wrong code coz it ain't in that script

[topaz ice]

Its reaching. The last part (most important part) has debug.Log() printing the mouseX (which I removed the deltatime), And its constantly printing 0

[rich adder]

ops replied to wrong person

myb

[rich adder]

well maybe that part of the code is not reaching , how do you know . Put debug.Log there and make sure

[round mirage]

i will try ty

[round mirage]

its my End() function who dont work but i dont find why

[topaz ice]

Back! And I can complain more now!

Did the channel just die for no reason

He used End() on everyone ;-;

[hushed hinge]

ok, since i have the instance there now, what do i do next?

[rich adder]

where did you put the log

[rich adder]

this makes absolutely no sense

why even make a static Instance if you're gonna use FindObjectOfType

or have a reference at all..

as it was told to you already .
I think you're confusing the Instance name you gave there, with what an Instance of something is

[pine furnace]

It s ok to write my input code inside fixed update?

[hollow karma]

sorry I have a question about (Debug.Log) ,it doesn't work.Can anybody help me?thanks.

[rocky canyon]

add one more.. before the if statement Debug.Log("Make sure the Collision is registered");

and then go from there..

if u get that log and not the others.. then ur tags are messed up.. and CompareTag("TagName"): is better than gameobject.tag

[polar acorn]

Input should be in Update

[pine furnace]

I saw someone on youtube do it inside fixedupdate

And it looked wrong

[rocky canyon]

ohh thats right.. OnCollisionEnter.. only happens when u enter the triggeer.. ud have time the Keypress to be perfect for it to work

[polar acorn]

Because two different StackOverflow questions had those different things and they don't understand either

[rich adder]

https://dontasktoask.com

[rocky canyon]

you'll never be able to use the input like that

[primal trench]

ok so ive been trying to figure this out for like an hour now
i have this:
SpeakerLib[CurrentDialogueFileIndex].ToString()
which prints as
!
when i do
print("!" != "!")
it prints as false
but when i do
print(SpeakerLin[CurrentDialogueFileIndex].ToString()```

it prints as true

[rich adder]

ahh now that makes more sense than looking at that code any longer

[polar acorn]

Log outside of any of the if statements and see if this object is colliding with anything at all

[primal trench]

despite SpeakerLib[CurrentDialogueFileIndex].ToString() being equal to "!"

[pine furnace]

And i make bool variables and i say if(input.getkey(keycode.space)
Jumpbuttonpressed = true

And in fixed update i write
If(jumpbuttonpressed)
Jump

[hollow karma]

LOL I know.Thank you very much.

[rich adder]

yes

[polar acorn]

Are you sure it's not ! or something similar?

[polar acorn]

Yes. The important thing is that you set it in Update, and un-set it in FixedUpdate. You don't want to do Jumpbuttonpressed = Input.GetKey... because multiple updates can occur between FixedUpdates

[polar acorn]

Change your log:

Debug.Log($"[{SpeakerLib[CurrentDialogueFileIndex].ToString()}], length: {SpeakerLib[CurrentDialogueFileIndex].ToString().Length}");

[hushed hinge]

you mean that
the static instance from the muoncounter?

but he gave it a thumbs up in the screenshot

should i remove
muonCounter = FindObjectOfType<MuonCounter>();?

[polar acorn]

Ey, there you go. It's not "!" it's "\r\n!"

You have a carriage return in your string

[primal trench]

carriage return?

[polar acorn]

Line break in both windows and unix styles

two characters so that there's a line break regardless of which OS is viewing it

[primal trench]

ah that makes sense

[polar acorn]

That's why there's three characters in the string

[primal trench]

is there a way to write that as a string?

[polar acorn]

.Trim()

Remove whitespace

[primal trench]

so i'd do

SpeakerLib[CurrentDialogueFileIndex].ToString().Trim()

[polar acorn]

That should work. Pretty sure C# trim gets rid of newline characters

[primal trench]

let's see

[polar acorn]

Make sure you add the trim to the debug log to see if it's properly removing it

[rich adder]

are you asking me because you know why you should remove or just because I said something. Huge difference, you wont understand why you're removing it then we're gonna go in circles..

[hushed hinge]

because since muoncounter is already being called from the private MuonCounter muonCounter

[rich adder]

if you already using MuonCounter static Instance there is literally no point of searching for the component and storing it

but yes you are blindly copy and pasting and this will happen until you learn to apply a bit of your own critical thinking to what you're trying to accomplish

[primal trench]

ayyyy there we go
tysm i would NOT have figured that out otherwise ;-;

[hushed hinge]

if i remove private MuonCounter muonCounter; then the underline with the muonCounter in
if (muonCounter == null)
{
Debug.LogError("MuonCounter not being found");
}
else
{
MuonCounter.Instance.UpdateText();
Debug.Log("number go up");
}

would have a red underline, and even if i remove that and keep MuonCounter.Instance.UpdateText(); it would be an error when i start the gaem and go in a stage scene, wouldn't it?

...imma try

[stark perch]

@rich adder can you help me with that code

[rich adder]

not sure it is the code now that I see it, i think the first issue is related to velocity being applied while collding which is wrong normally

people use the physics no friction material but I think its a poor band aid, good way to fix it just raycasting and making sure you are not blocked when moving forward otherwise dont apply velocity that way

[rich adder]

You know why you have a red underline..

why even null check on something you dont need

[hushed hinge]

yes

[rich adder]

Instance is assigned in the other script you dont need to null check the field

just dont call this before that assigment in awake/start

if(MuonCounter.Instance)
MuonCounter.Instance.UpdateText();``` at most..

and even thats overkill..if you have good design these arent generally needed

[stark perch]

@rich adder https://gdl.space/raw/afotaxuluv

i thi good

[rich adder]

did yuo read the rest to what I wrote

[stark perch]

now you jsut can't moe when you're grounded

[rich adder]

dont apply velocity if you're blocked

same check you do for grounded you do it for infront of you

also why are yuo only moving horizontal if not grounded.

[stark perch]

it's not just if stuff is infront of you, literally if i just jump with nothing around me i go into the ground and then get placed back

[rich adder]

this is wrong
rb.velocity = new Vector2(horizontalInput * moveSpeed, rb.velocity.y); // Apply gravity rb.velocity += new Vector2(0, -gravity * Time.deltaTime);

[hushed hinge]

if(MuonCounter.Instance)?

if(MuonCounter.Instance)
{
MuonCounter.Instance.UpdateText();
}?

[stark perch]

what should i put instead

[rich adder]

well first of all rigidbodies should be moved in fixed update

also why are you manually applying gravity that way

[rich adder]

why are there two ifstatements, also why ask me something I wrote it literal

[hushed hinge]

not two ifs, i was asking if the second one was it you meant?

[rich adder]

like I said its totally overkill but thats what you would check if you changed the original if statement from field you had

get it?

Instance is the script already

[hushed hinge]

yeah

[rich adder]

Ok so just load the data before setting the text ?

if you already did it then verify it works

[hushed hinge]

well.... i don't know if it works since the number is still not changing up when i touched a muon gameobjecti in the other scene

[hushed hinge]

also about load the data before setting the text, i don't get what you mean there

[stark perch]

@rich adder i changed it to using unity's default gravity but it's still happening

[rich adder]

what?

[stark perch]

why is it going into the ground

[rich adder]

idk. show current code and inspector for the object

[hushed hinge]

i am currently stuck about it...

[rich adder]

idk at this point your spaghetti code is confusing me as well

[hushed hinge]

i just wanted that the counter number can be able to go up when you touch a muon object and not staying at 0, especially when you exit the game

[stark perch]

https://gdl.space/raw/ifuhapuhah

[hushed hinge]

https://gdl.space/kalenuduze.cpp

[rich adder]

yes and its been told you hundreds of time, you need to learn data persistance

you just end up writing a lot of spaghetti code because you just copy and pasting everyones code

[rich adder]

try changing Collision Detection to Continuous

or do jump with AddForce instead of .velocity
rb.AddForce(Vector3.up * jumpForce, ForceMode.Impulse);

i never used .velocity for jump so idk

[polar acorn]

This is the last I'm going to give you so pay close attention.

1. Create a Singleton that has variables for the counters.
2. Your UI should reference the instance of the singleton to know what number to display.
3. Whenever you touch a "muon object", increase that variable in the singleton instance.
4. Whenever you need to save or load, write those variables to disk or read them back to change the variables on the singleton instance.

This is the entire process. Boom. Scene-persisting saveable data.

[stark perch]

i tried both

neither works

[rich adder]

both what?

[stark perch]

both things yo uwrote

continous or force doesn't work

[rich adder]

how did you write the new code send

[stark perch]

exactly this except 2D

ForceMode@D

rb.AddForce(Vector3.up * jumpForce, ForceMode2D.Impulse);

[rich adder]

hmm yea idk I use this without a problem. You tried with the default setting in the physics2D page

[buoyant schooner]

I've got an issue where my input script for my player character is getting big, any suggestions on how I could improve this?

[hushed hinge]

1. I did made a singleton in MuonCounter
2. the number which should change is _amountMuons

[barren dagger]

hello...

[rich adder]

is there a need to crosspost this?

[hushed hinge]

https://gdl.space/gaginiyuzu.cs does the playermanager count as a singleton?

[silver lagoon]

I want to call this value 'ListIndex' from the script cui. PotionList is used fine without error, but the code says ListIndex doesn't exist. Why is this happening and how can I fix this?

[summer stump]

These are cropped to meaninglessness

[polar acorn]

Does this script have a variable named ListIndex?

[summer stump]

Share code properly. Are these two images from the same class even?

[silver lagoon]

No to both questions

[summer stump]

See how you access PotionList?

via cui
And see how you did NOT do that with ListIndex?

[rich adder]

then why are you using something you havent declared

[silver lagoon]

Overlooked that, thanks for the help!

[stark perch]

yes

still the same issue

[twin bolt]

How am i getting transform child out of bound for this? https://i.imgur.com/auSks3x.png

Their is a child in ItemHand

[rich adder]

not according to index out of bounds if its that line

[stark perch]

@rich adder why is it not working

[rich adder]

check the colliders

[stark perch]

is it maybe because of the physics scale again

[rich adder]

show the gizmos in scene during playmode, select the player and place Game view side by side with Scene view

[polar acorn]

Whatever ItemHand is, it has no children

[rich adder]

this doesnt help lol

Well this says otherwise, https://i.imgur.com/FcLHEDK.png

[rich adder]

is that the actual one you referenced?

[twin bolt]

yes

[polar acorn]

Well, since this object has a child, and whatever ItemHand is definitely does not, then the only conclusion is that whatever ItemHand is, is not this object

[twin bolt]

Actually i think i know, there is another item with the same tag, which is how i'm referencing the item hand.

[rich adder]

Collision detection is still on Descrete

try Continuous like I said earlier and you said you changed it..

[stark perch]

ok i will but i changed it back agfter nothing changed

[rich adder]

k. well dont.
also try turning interpolation too even though thats prob for higher speeds

[twin bolt]

Yep i found it. @polar acorn @rich adder

[stark perch]

what more

[rich adder]

what kind of collider do you have on the ground ?

[stark perch]

box

[rich adder]

let me see

I see it says its a tilemap ? You should not have a box collider

[stark perch]

i'm not sure if you can have tiles from your tilemap have colision i literally just put another box

[rich adder]

well then you are wrong lol because tilemap has its own component for collisions

[stark perch]

well how do you do it

[rich adder]

get rid of the box collider, add the tilemap collider

https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/class-TilemapCollider2D.html

you also want to add this
https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/class-CompositeCollider2D.html

[stark perch]

where do i add the component

[rich adder]

same object on the tilemap

[stark perch]

i added it now it's fully filled

how do i make it so some are filled and some aren't

[rich adder]

wdym fully filled?

[stark perch]

every tiule on the map has a collider

[rich adder]

put the ones you dont want colliders on separate tilemap without collider

play around with order in layer to do between background and foreground

[stark perch]

i did it

and oit still does the same thing

like when i jump

and i ow get stuck at the edges of tiles sometimes

[rich adder]

add the composite collider also like i told you beofore

and checkmark the Used By Composite on the tilemap collider

if it adds rigidbody make sure its static

[stark perch]

now i just fall from the floor

i checked used by composite i tried setting the rigidbody on my player to static but it does nothing

[rich adder]

i didnt say static on the player, I said on the rigidbody the composite collider adds..

[stark perch]

and where does it add a rigidbody

[barren dagger]

I was on the wrong channel

[polar acorn]

There isn't really a right channel to just say "hello"

[hushed hinge]

how's this progress? i have been looking at the tutorial

[hushed hinge]

while i do only have few of the steps left

[frosty hound]

Please stop baiting people. Nobody here is looking over your shoulder giving their approval. The progress is good if it works and you're following the tutorial.

[alpine dew]

So, does anyone know how I can make use of either the invoke method or an enumerator to delay the conclusion of a static script?

I've tried passing in a reference to the class since IEnumerator is a MonoBehavior method

but that doesn't seem to want to work

[cosmic dagger]

You need a MonoBehaviour to call StartCoroutine but the coroutine method itself doesn't have to be on a MonoBehaviour . . .

[alpine dew]

it doesn't?

so can I just include the coroutine in the static function?

[cosmic dagger]

Sure, as long as it's called using StartCoroutine from a MonoBehaviour reference, you're fine . . .

[hushed hinge]

hmmm.. nope, still not working, but it is still in progress...

[alpine dew]

well you see I tried that approach and am probably implementing it wrong

[cosmic dagger]

Show what you have . . .

[alpine dew]

public static void WarpMap(string map, int sp = 1, bool isDefaultAudio = true)
    {
        Debug.Log("================================================================");
        Debug.Log("(Menu Controller) WarpMap instantiated.");
        
        playerInput.enabled = false;
        playerCamera.SetActive(false);
        playerCapsule.SetActive(false);

        if (isDefaultAudio)
        {
            AudioSource source = MenuController.sourceA;
            source.PlayOneShot(source.clip);
        }

        fadeOut.SetActive(true);
        instance.StartCoroutine(DelayLoadScene());
        MenuController.isTransition = true;
    }

    IEnumerator DelayLoadScene()
    {
        yield return new WaitForSeconds(1.5f);

        GlobalVariables.SP_School_Side_A = 6;
        SceneManager.LoadScene(3);
    }

DelayLoadScene isn't accessible because of the aformentooned MonoBehavior exclusivity, in this script's scope

so I first tried defining it as a private instance of the class and then sending it through the function as one of its arguments but it didn't take too kindly to that concept and was still acting like I didn't give it a reference

[cedar bone]

I've been scratching my head from this simple problem. For some reason, my gun keeps moving around for no reason, even though I have no script on it, and my character controller only moves it once to (0, 0, 0) local position.

[cedar bone]

as you can see, the pistol's position (relative to the WeaponPos component) should be (0, 0, 0) as seen in the PickUp() function

but I never change its position anywhere else

and it keeps changing for no reason

this is my camera script

[hushed hinge]

what next should i write?

[summer stump]

As usual, you were not supposed to just straight up copy the example code. It is an example. You were supposed to read it and apply that knowledge to your own code

Why you made a class called Singleton is beyond me. But that was never the suggestion

[cosmic dagger]

Is DelayedScene part of the same script or from a different script? Also, it's private, so if it's from a different script, you cannot access private members of a class . . .

[alpine dew]

it's in the same script

also for the last part I corrected it to public accessibility

[hushed hinge]

1. create a singleton that as variables for the counters. and that is hwat I did

[cosmic dagger]

For this part, what was the actual error message? I can better understand how the setup was incorrect . . .

[alpine dew]

the error is claiming that it doesn't have an object reference even though I called it from the class itself

[summer stump]

A singleton. Not a class called singleton.
You already HAD a singleton called MuonCounter

Again, that was an EXAMPLE.
It is supposed to TEACH you about it. You are not just supposed to blindly copy without thinking through the purpose

You want a save system, so that class should be a singleton too. The one where you have SaveData and LoadData

[alpine dew]

Assets\Scripts\UI\MenuController.cs(468,9): error CS0120: An object reference is required for the non-static field, method, or property 'MonoBehaviour.StartCoroutine(IEnumerator)'

[cosmic dagger]

I can see an error because you're attempting to call it from a static method. The coroutine method is not static, so it belongs to an instance of the class, not the type. You have to access the coroutine method from an instance (reference) . . .

[slender nymph]

It isn't static so you can't call it from the class itself

[alpine dew]

hm, okay I'll try something else then

Alright making it a public static instance of the class allowed me to use it

which I probably should have figured but it slipped my mind

thanks guys

[tight kayak]

Hi, I am completely new to Unity and coding in general. I purchased an asset of this game template I thought would be interesting to build upon. But I literally cannot even figure out how to change the art.

The most confusing is what the globe thing and the "Main" thing at the bottom right corner is. I believe that's the place I need to focus on to get my own art to replace the existing stuff.

Tutorials on this are somehow hard to find on YouTube.

Please point me in the right direction thank you 😦

[polar acorn]

That's a Material. Materials have Textures.

You'd probably want to make a copy of the material and use a different texture if you want to change it

[hushed hinge]

https://gdl.space/afabezaful.cs
but how do i make a singleton of this with no monobehavior?

[eternal needle]

This also isnt coding related, but you'll probably have an annoying time changing the texture. It looks like that texture has many colors and objects in 1 image, so i assume its applied to every single object.

[summer stump]

That is an interface and is irrelevant. That is not where LoadData and SaveData are

[hushed hinge]

you meant Counter script?

[summer stump]

You should know

[hushed hinge]

ok, ih vae put in the instance

[tight kayak]

I managed to do this, changing the specific pictures in photoshop. but I just can't figure out why and how these specific things are being called

[tight kayak]

yeah ur right it's applied literally everywhere. I just don't get how they're being called. it's on a .png picture and if I replace the pictures with my own pictures and replace the whole image, it changes. but I don't get why and how something's becing called to it.

see I changed the banner of the dog to a fish tank

but why is that specific corner of the .png image being called to that specific banner like that, where do I decide on Unity how that happens?

[eternal needle]

Not entirely sure what channel but #🔎┃find-a-channel
It's a texture, and the models have a UV mapping. It uses specific parts of the image to color it

Still isnt a coding issue

[polar acorn]

It's in the UV Coordinates of the model

[tight kayak]

o my bad u mean i'm not supposed to post this here?

[tight kayak]

ok thx i'll check that out

[hushed hinge]

so... i need to write something more..

i've been reading the tutorial

but yet..

since both MuonCounter and Counter have instances...

Your UI should reference the instance of the singleton to know what number to display.

Whenever you touch a "muon object", increase that variable in the singleton instance.

Whenever you need to save or load, write those variables to disk or read them back to change the variables on the singleton instance.
.... i don't know if these are left to do...

[teal viper]

Read your code and see for yourself

[hushed hinge]

I am struggling with it... that that with my ui should reference the instance of the singletong to know what number to display, the number to display should be _amountMuons...

[polar acorn]

So do that. Have it display _amountMuons

Put a script on it

that reads _amountMuons

and sets the text to that

[hushed hinge]

put a script on it? a new script?

[teal viper]

If you already have script that does that, then use it

[hushed hinge]

MUonCounter script have the text that is conntected to the ui muon count and and _amountMuons

[teal viper]

Then use that🤷‍♂️

[hushed hinge]

https://gdl.space/ikaxubagot.cs

ok..

Whenever you touch a "muon object", increase that variable in the singleton instance.

the muon object have also tag names like "Muon1" "Muon2" and "Muon3" so that it can tell which objects it is

but.... it worked before the instance thing, but not anymore...

https://gdl.space/ebulipubok.cs

[mint remnant]

have you tried peppering debug log calls all over to track the flow of your code?

[hushed hinge]

tried debug this on

[mint remnant]

Well unless you know how to actively use the debugger to follow the flow, you're going to need more than one debug log statement to figure out what you think is happening vs. what is really happening

and it wouldn't hurt to sketch out a mini flow chart ahead of this so you have what you expect to happen in what order ahead of time

[hushed hinge]

a mini flow chart?

[mint remnant]

yea, google it, it's an ancient technique lol

[summer stump]

Debug it with values instead of just words

[mint remnant]

Um, don't increment it inside hte debug log!

[cedar bone]

Can someone help me out here

[mint remnant]

Your gun is parented to the player, yet you mention a Pickup() method, which I must have issed seeing, but does it re-position the gun when picked up reletive to hte player?

[hushed hinge]

what?

[mint remnant]

explain what part of what I said you are not understanding

[hushed hinge]

i never heard of Increment before

[raw token]

[rocky canyon]

the word increment?

means to add to..

_amountMuons++; <- this increments _amountMuons by 1 each time its run

[summer stump]

Definitely do NOT do this

[north oar]

im trying to make a simple flappy bird game but my pipes are moving at different speeds even though i have the top pipe as a child of the bottom one. ```public class Pipes : MonoBehaviour
{
// Start is called before the first frame update

[SerializeField] GameObject prefab;
void Start()
{

}
private void Update()
{
    if (transform.position.x > -10)
    {
        transform.position = new Vector3(transform.position.x - 0.05f, transform.position.y);
    }
    else
    {
        Destroy(gameObject);
    }
}
public void SpawnPipes()
{
    Instantiate(prefab, new Vector3(10f, Random.Range(-3f, -8f)), Quaternion.identity);
}

}```

[rocky canyon]

wait.. so u have a pipe inside a pipe?

and that pipe also has a pipe script?

[north oar]

yes..

[rocky canyon]

that would be my guess.... the pipe inside the other pipe is moving twice as fast

[north oar]

i wasnt sure how to attach the other pipe to the first one

[raw token]

Child objects inherit changes to their their parents' transforms

[north oar]

yeah tahts what its doing

[rocky canyon]

mmhmm so u shouldnt do that

[north oar]

so should i just remove the pipe script in the child?

[rocky canyon]

yes, it'd still move the same speed as the parent pipe
Actually. you'd have to see if that works.. b/c of things like ur destroy method

[cosmic dagger]

That sounds painful . . .

[hushed hinge]

not like that?

[north oar]

it worked

another question so id put the SpawnPipes() in a loop to make them infinitely spawn but how do i set time inbetween spawns?

[rocky canyon]

look up coroutines

[hushed hinge]

then...

[frosty hound]

@hushed hinge This is your official last caution about this before you start receiving warnings. Make a thread, use the thread, do not come out of that thread. You've been at this same thing for two days now, and we're not going to sit through another of you occupying this channel.

[mint remnant]

to be honest, nevre hearing of increment before, you're going to struggle a lot trying to do much of a game. I'd consider stepping back to learn some programming basics first

is there a way to get the size of an object in any way related to box colliders?

[rocky canyon]

absolutely

[spiral glen]

could you perhaps enlighten me please

[rocky canyon]

boxCollider.size;

[spiral glen]

❤️

is it possible to get a boxcollider from an object or do I need to save the boxcolliders seperately?

[rocky canyon]

GetComponent<BoxCollider>();

[spiral glen]

awesome

[rocky canyon]

just GetComponent if its on the same object

[spiral glen]

it is

[raw token]

In a very strict interpretation of SOLID/Dependency Inversion Principal, is it permissible/reasonable to have multiple layers of abstraction between concrete objects? That is, interfaces/abstract classes implementing/extending other interfaces/abstract classes?

My gut feeling is that this is wrong, but I can't quite put my finger on why... Like I'm extending the contract between the higher- and lower-level objects with the lower-level objects' implementation details

Though, I guess if an abstract class is the abstraction, then you're already including lower-level objects' implementation details... maybe it's fine 🤔

[alpine dew]

This is a kind of followup to my earlier post and problem, I more or less made it work, but despite the instance of the class being a static member and also the function that uses this reference is static, but for some reason it seems like it loses its reference at some point and returns null, that or it never got one in the first place.

public static void WarpMap(string map, int sp = 0)
    {
        Debug.Log("================================================================");
        Debug.Log("(Menu Controller) WarpMap instantiated.");

        instance.StartCoroutine(DelayLoadScene());

        IEnumerator DelayLoadScene()
        {
            yield return new WaitForSeconds(1.5f);

            GlobalVariables.SP = sp;
            SceneManager.LoadScene(map);
        }

[polar acorn]

Where do you set instance

Also, you have a function in your function, you probably don't want that

[alpine dew]

I was told you can use a coroutine inside a function

Idk if it's good practice

instance is defined here

public class MenuController : MonoBehaviour
{
    public static MenuController instance;

[mint remnant]

didn't know C# even allowed you to declare a function within one, weird

[alpine dew]

well it's more like a MonoBehavior method by proxy

[polar acorn]

Defined yes. Where is it set

[alpine dew]

You're gonna have to elaborate on that

actually I think I know what you mean

[polar acorn]

where do you actually set instance to a value

[rocky canyon]

@summer stump i just can't anymore

[summer stump]

I keep getting drawn in no matter how much I tell myself not to

[alpine dew]

My initial understanding was that it would store the reference as is

[summer stump]

You need somewhere that you write Instance =
An equals sign is an assignment

[polar acorn]

Why would it do that

[rocky canyon]

most things don't assign themselves to anything

[polar acorn]

How is it supposed to know which MenuController the variable holds

[alpine dew]

well you can't use this inside static methods to refer to the script object

[rocky canyon]

ints and numbers and stuff do.. typically zero

[polar acorn]

Correct. Because it's not on an object

There is no this

[alpine dew]

alright then what do you suggest?

[polar acorn]

Set instance to something

[alpine dew]

Does it have to be specific?

[rocky canyon]

needs to be of the same type atleast..

[polar acorn]

Well, if you want to refer to a specific object it's probably a good idea to set it to that object

Not gonna do you much good if you set it to a different object

[summer stump]

This is a MonoBehaviour, you could definitely use this here

[alpine dew]

I don't know if I even need all that, my intentions are to delay a function's ending slightly, but to do that with an enumerator from what all I've managed to gather, you need to pass in an instance of MonoBehavior

[polar acorn]

The function StartCoroutine must be called from a MonoBehaviour

[alpine dew]

Wait a second, I think I know the problem

I think you're right about that

[polar acorn]

Question: Why is this function static at all

[alpine dew]

I need it to be accessible from another class

[polar acorn]

why

[frigid schooner]

I have a question

[alpine dew]

so I can call a function from it?

[polar acorn]

why not just put the coroutine in that other class

[frigid schooner]

can playerprefs be accessed from any object and any script?

[polar acorn]

Absolutely nothing about this uses any sort of references in this class

[alpine dew]

because the class doesn't handle any of the stuff the delay is needed for, it's all handled by the function

[polar acorn]

Just put this coroutine in the function you're trying to call it in

And then start it there

[polar acorn]

yes

[polar acorn]

So take this function that handles everything

and put it

in the class that calls it

[frigid schooner]

thanks!

the most annoying part about references is to drag the stuff into the boxes

player prefs saves a lot of time not having to do that

[summer stump]

You don't have to do that

[alpine dew]

forget about the coroutines, do you know if any other delay option works in a static method?

[polar acorn]

why does it need to be static

[summer stump]

Don't abuse file read and writes to avoid proper referencing
https://unity.huh.how/references

[alpine dew]

that's not important

[polar acorn]

It's very goddamn important

[summer stump]

It is fairly important
It is basically the crux of tbe entire issue

[polar acorn]

Just put the damn function in the class that uses it

you're already abusing static to avoid referencing

why not just do neither

[rocky canyon]

    private void OnGUI() {
           Utils.RealtimeDebug(msg, offset, textSize, textColor, screenSize); // <--- static non-mono class (w/ functions reliant on OnGUI)
    }``` is this okay tho?, the coroutine comments up above got me thinkin

When i was making this.. i tried to just call it in start or something.. but got errors saying certain things from within that static class needed OnGUI.. so i fixed it by just calling it inside a OnGUI instead, (b/c i couldn't wrap the main function in OnGUI b/c its not a monobehaviour)

[quick fractal]

I'm trying to disable shadows as an option on a directional light, would this be all I need?

Having shadows enabled doubles the tri count from 20M to 40M so it'd be nice to be able to disable that

[rocky canyon]

light.shadows = LightShadows.None;

[wintry quarry]

Why in Update? 🤔

[quick fractal]

So I can just constantly check if the bool is false, I'm really not going for pure performance with this since it's 6 lines of code

[quick fractal]

Ah, thanks

[wintry quarry]

Why not just do it at the moment you set the bool false

Then you don't need Update at all

[rocky canyon]

ur ide isnt working correctly

shadow shoulda spit a red error at u

[quick fractal]

I'm not editing in Unity, that's probably why

Just a separate project I'll use an asmdef to link to unity

[rocky canyon]

ahh ok

[quick fractal]

Seems like shadows won't work, which dll would that be in if you know?

(I assume I'm missing a reference)

It normally says but not this time I guess

[rocky canyon]

lol, not a clue.. Light is in UnityEngine; i guess

[quick fractal]

That's annoying 😬

[polar acorn]

What's the error say

[rocky canyon]

u need a reference to a light yes

[quick fractal]

I'm referencing every UnityEngine DLL I've got access to

[quick fractal]

Oh ignore that

That was working fine

[rocky canyon]

ahh ok

[rocky canyon]

use just Light then

covers all types of lights i think

[polar acorn]

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Experimental.GlobalIllumination.DirectionalLight-shadow.html

[quick fractal]

Worked

Thanks

[summer stump]

Well you are not doing anything there

[polar acorn]

It does exist, and it's a boolean, you have to set it to something

[quick fractal]

I am

Well

Not with the shadows

[summer stump]

No you are not

[rocky canyon]

weird Light is shadows

[quick fractal]

But, that's been added

[rocky canyon]

and DLights are shadow

[alpine dew]

Hello friend, it would seem we have run into another issue. It's not a MonoBehavior class lmao

[rocky canyon]

turns out that was correct..

i didnt notice u were using a DirectionLight <>

[polar acorn]

Okay, so what's calling the function you need

[rocky canyon]

@quick fractal still works the same if u use Light.shadows = ..

[alpine dew]

it's a protected override void that's part of an Interactable class I have

[rocky canyon]

so use whichever one u want i guess

[quick fractal]

Looks that way, thanks <3

This truly is the most complex script anyone has ever written

[polar acorn]

Okay, and what calls it

[alpine dew]

protected override void Interact()
    {
        Debug.Log("Interaction (" + gameObject.name + ")");

        if (isDoor)
        {
            var GameObject fadeOut = MenuController.fadeOut;
            fadeOut.SetActive(true);
            MenuController.isTransition = true

            MenuController.WarpMap(mapString, spawnPosition, isDefaultSound);
        }

Trying to run Unity Essentials Project, but I am getting this TMPro cannot be found error. As a result other errors like TextMeshProUGUI could not be found. Using Unity version 2022.3.39f1 . Any idea how can I get these defined?

[summer stump]

Did you install it from the package manager?
Do you have using TMPro at the top?

[quick fractal]

I return with more questions, is something up with my script that's causing the references to not show up?

Oh wait.. Might be missing that serializable thing

Been a while since I did anything with editor scripts

[steep walrus]

im following a tutorial and I want to add on a little bit by deleting some of the game objects. I have the object in as a prefab it seems as I imported it as an .fbx from blender but when I try to use the "Destroy(Easy);" the Easy party gets underlined red and says it doesnt exist in that context

[tidal trellis]

I do have using TMPro at the top of the script. No I cannot seem to find it in the Package Manager. Pressing the "+" search by name TMPro but it says unable to find the package.

[summer stump]

It is not called TMPro

It is TextMeshPro

And you are not looking in the "in project" section, right?

[quick fractal]

That, did not fix it

[cedar bone]

its only parented after PickUp() is run

[tidal trellis]

where should i be looking? Unity registry?

[summer stump]

Yeah

[summer stump]

In Project is only things that are in your project. So all that shows is that you do not have TextMeshPro in your project

[rocky canyon]

I've had bugs like this.. adding and removing them and sometimes a layout reset forced em to show up.. did ur unity compile after ur new changes were saved?

[polar acorn]

Well, you have a reference to fadeOut. That's a GameObject. That has StartCoroutine

So put the IEnumerator in this class

[quick fractal]

It did, yes. Doesn't reset when I add/remove it

[polar acorn]

and have fadeOut start it

[alpine dew]

hm okay okay

[raw token]

Unity won't serialize statics, and it looks like DirectionalLight might be an unserializable struct... But since it's a struct (value type), even it were originally declared to be serializable, it would be a unique instance of data rather than a reference to some other data which already exists 👀

I think you might want a Light instead

[cedar bone]

cameraPos

WeaponPos

[quick fractal]

That'd be ironic, I swapped back to directional light in favor of it. I'll give that a go thanks

[rocky canyon]

Yea lmao

[cedar bone]
