@eager spindle thank you, I am following these C# courses on unity that told me I should make my own game so I'm trying to make a space wars clown. https://learn.unity.com/tutorial/lab-2-new-project-with-primitives?uv=2022.3&courseId=5cf96c41edbc2a2ca6e8810f&projectId=5cdcc312edbc2a24a41671e6

[rich adder]

why not just make reference in the inspector and drag n drop if they're on the same object

[eager spindle]

I dont think you can find it by name.
make a publlic reference to this.

[round mirage]

because i have to make a lot of icons

i want make an inventory

[eager spindle]

you can Resources.LoadAll to get an array of all objects in a folder that have a script

[hybrid gust]

I'll say this is kind of what I did. I think Unity is a great tool for learning C# - Granted I think its important to keep in mind that you won't be making FINISHED GAMES for a while.

But its much better than learning via the console

[eager spindle]

my first game was nowhere near finished yea, and my second, and my thirrd.

not for another year

[eager spindle]

oh look into raylib

Its a big part of how I teach people programming for game dev now

[rich adder]

what does that have to do with the Reference being already stored on the script via drag n drop, you can make prefabs is you need a generic one to modify

[eager spindle]

you can just InitWindow(800, 600, "Title"); to get the window you want. then you can DrawCube, DrawText or do whatever you want. very fun stuff

it also gives you access to matrix transformation stuff if you want to look into that

Raylib builds on rlgl, an abstraction of opengl

has bindings for lots of languages too

[queen adder]

Can prefabs not access other components through the inspector?

[eager spindle]

❌ prefabs are not part of the scene yet

why are you executing stuff as a prefab?

[strong wren]

Can't serialize references to scene objects, but can serialize references within its own hierarchy (parents/children)

[eager spindle]

I assume you mean components on gameobjects that are already in the scene?

[rich adder]

scene objects , nope

https://unity.huh.how/references/prefabs-referencing-components

[eager spindle]

what is unity huh how

I see it get referenced a lot here now

[rich adder]

one of the mods made it

[eager spindle]

ooh

[queen adder]

Okay got it thank you

[eager spindle]

is there any way to contribute to this? I wanna add something to it

[rich adder]

I believe so

[eager spindle]

ooh theres a github

[rich adder]

github, yea

[queen adder]

im shooting a bullet and then i need the bullet to face the curor game object when it is instantiated

[rich adder]

make the firepoint rotated to mouse , then just spawn the object on instantiate with that firepoint.rotation

[eager spindle]

ill describe the overall code flow

• instantiate the bullet
• using the bullet's transform, rotate it in the direction of your cursor. to do this,
  -- Get the vector between the screen space of where you're shooting from
  -- rotate the bullet based on the vector

[queen adder]

Okay thanks

[queen adder]

How would i get the firepoint to rotate towards the gameobject'

[rich adder]

are you in 2D ?

[queen adder]

yes 2d

[rich adder]

firePoint.right = (mouseWorldPos - firePoint.position).normalized

or firePoint.up if you got green arrow as your forward

[queen adder]

ill try it out thanks

[steel kite]

private void OnMove(InputValue inputValue)
    {
        _movementInput = inputValue.Get<Vector2>();

        if (_movementInput.x < 0 && !_spriteRenderer.flipX) {
            _spriteRenderer.flipX = true;
            animator.SetBool("turnRight", false);
            animator.SetBool("turnLeft", true);
        } else if (_movementInput.x > 0  && _spriteRenderer.flipX) {
            _spriteRenderer.flipX = false;
            animator.SetBool("turnRight", true);
            animator.SetBool("turnLeft", false);
        }else {
            animator.SetBool("turnRight", false);
            animator.SetBool("turnLeft", false);
        }
    }

I have a blend tree for idle and walk, and I use the spriterenderer.flipX function to flip my character left or right. So far everything is working perfectly. but when I try to run the turn animation before flipX, the character keeps trying to turn and stays in the opposite direction.

[rich adder]

can you make a short video?

also did you have a look at animator controller during playmode to see where whats happening there

[near wadi]

There is a known Unity bug in Light mode that causes an error because the filename has a space in it. Is there a simple way to alter this code, so it does not fail when it hits a space?

        static IEnumerable<string> GetIconsFilePath()
        {
            // Captures file path from "Editor Default Resources/Icons/<theme>", with optional scale suffix (e.g. @2x).
            var regex = new Regex(@"(?<baseName>\w*/\w*)(?<scaleSuffix>@\dx)?.png");

            var basePath = BuildBasePath(IconType.UniqueToSkin);
            var files = Directory.GetFiles(basePath, "*.png", SearchOption.AllDirectories);

            foreach (var file in files)
            {
                // Standardize on forward slashes as directory separators.
                var path = file.Replace(Path.DirectorySeparatorChar, '/');

                var match = regex.Match(path);

                // Skip all files ending with a size number. Example: "@2x.png"
                if (match.Groups["scaleSuffix"].Success)
                    continue;

                var baseName = match.Groups["baseName"];
                Debug.Assert(baseName.Success, $"Found icon file with unexpected path: {file}.");
                yield return baseName.Value;
            }
        }

[rich adder]

use darkmode 😈

[short hazel]

It's the regex. \w only captures word characters, as in the range [a-zA-Z0-9]. You can fiddle with it online like on regex101.com, which includes a debugger and verious tools

[near wadi]

Excellent, thank you. I will do that

[steel kite]

when turn is active

[rich adder]

Im take a wild guess that you got multiple bools active at once

[rich adder]

double check the Animator during when thats happening, see which states you go into

[steel kite]

I have now canceled the rotation animation and it only rotates with flipX.

[rich adder]

so the turning animation was looping or whatever?

[steel kite]

There is no problem now. Rotation animations not active

[quick fractal]

Why won't my list show up properly? I've copied it exactly from the Wiki and other scripts that work just fine

[rich adder]

do you have compile errors?

[quick fractal]

Nothin

[rich adder]

is Renderer a custom class or are you using the unity one

[quick fractal]

Unity one

[rich adder]

Try right click on the script in Project folder and do Reimport

on ArmourModule

[quick fractal]

Still won't show anything

[polar acorn]

Show a screenshot of your console

[summer stump]

Show the whole thing, including the icons on the top right

[summer stump]

Just to verify, if you hover the word Renderer is shows UnityEngine.Renderer right?

Also... gotta ask, but it is saved right?

[quick fractal]

Yup, I tried SkinnedMesh and Mesh as well

It's weird right

[summer stump]

Yeah, nothing is jumping out at me.

Try clicking ctrl+r in unity. Perhaps you have domain reload disabled?

[quick fractal]

I had about half a second of loading and nothing happened

[summer stump]

Dang

[quick fractal]

Using an array works

I kind of don't want to use an array though lol

[rich adder]

List should have no issues

looks like custom inspector though

[quick fractal]

TriInspector

I have no control over whether it's being used or not

[glad rune]

why cant i tag pipe cs Instantiate(Pipe, new Vector3(transform.position.x, Random.Range(LowestPoint, HighestPoint), 0), transform.rotation); Pipe.gameObject.tag = "Pipe";

[rich adder]

might be messing with the List ?

idk why it would

[rich adder]

why dont you just place the tag on the Pipe prefab directly so it already spawns with the tag..

[glad rune]

because im only trying to delete the clones

[polar acorn]

Why can't you? What does it say

[wintry quarry]

Are you using the right List class?

System.Collections.Generic

[glad rune]

pipe is not defined

[quick fractal]

Yup

[wintry quarry]

why not just put them in a list instead of messing with tags?

[polar acorn]

Did you actually type Pipe or pipe

And where did you put it

[glad rune]

Pipe

[rich adder]

also just noticed you directly modifying the prefab in code not the instance :\

[glad rune]

in a func

[polar acorn]

I'm gonna put the blame on the custom inspector then. This should work with the default value

[polar acorn]

How about show the full !code for context

[eternal falcon]

[polar acorn]

As presented, you physically could not be getting that error on that line

Because you use Pipe the line right before it

[wintry quarry]

you never created the tag then in the editor

[glad rune]

public float heightOffset = 15;
public float spawnRate = 100;
private float Timer = 0;
void spawnAPipe()
{
    float LowestPoint = transform.position.y - heightOffset;
    float HighestPoint = transform.position.y + heightOffset;
    Instantiate(Pipe, new Vector3(transform.position.x, Random.Range(LowestPoint, HighestPoint), 0), transform.rotation);
}```

[quick fractal]

Other lists on other components were workin just fine afaik

Yup, others work

[rich adder]

didnt I also suggest you last time you can store the instance in a list ? Instantiate returns your clone of the pipe prefab

this way you can easily clear them when you need

[glad rune]

fairt

[wintry quarry]

does your script have a custom editor?
Are there any errors in console?

[summer stump]

This is not the full code

[quick fractal]

• Yes, but other components with the same custom inspector can utilize lists just fine
• Nooope, nothing in my console

[summer stump]

Yeah, they are using TriInspector

[glad rune]

theres just an update func that calls the spawnpipe but the spawning part works its the tag thats the problem

[summer stump]

Show the whole code for context.

Use a paste site

Include even the usings at the top

[rich adder]

you dont need code to add a tag..

make the Tag and then change the prefab's tag in inspector

[wintry quarry]

ah - custom editor immediately makes me suspect

[quick fractal]

I'm doubtful the custom editor is causing problems, I'm not all that familiar with it but if it's working on every other component then it's going to be my fault

All other components just have stuff like this, nothing extra

The [NonSerialized] isn't there for most

[wintry quarry]

make a commit.
try removing the custom inspector
See if it fixes things

[quick fractal]

I, do not think I can make a commit out of this, it's not my project

And removing the inspector would totally fuck the entire project

everything uses it

[wintry quarry]

duplicate it then? Why are you working on a "not your" project

[quick fractal]

SDK

[wintry quarry]

let me put it this way. Try turning your inspector to debug mode

see what happens with your list

[hybrid gust]

So, I'm trying to have my player character thrust a sword forward at a target using animation rigging, the actual thrusting motion is an animation I did in blender and imported. The sword is parented to the hand only, it doesn't have any bones.
So I have two questions:

1. The hand's rotation doesn't seem to visually deviate from the original pre-made animation but the sword, which is a child of the hand, DOES point to the source object via the constraint. - So what would I need to do to get the hand (and even better the arm) to also follow the constraint like the sword does.
2. Although the sword very obviously is responding to the constrain component, it doesn't actually "stab." Towards the end of the animation, it kinda curves around the target, almost like trying to push two magnets together that are facing the wrong way. - Is there a better of setting all this up?

please ping me I need to go afk for a sec

[quick fractal]

Got it working, the people who made the SDK gave me a pointer

[wintry quarry]

which was?

[quick fractal]

Had to add [Serializable] to the top of the class which, I've never done before

Things just worked

[wintry quarry]

that shouldn't be necessary for a MonoBehaviour 🤔

[quick fractal]

That and apparently not having a static list helps

[wintry quarry]

that's only necessary for non MB usually

[polar acorn]

Oh, it was static?

Statics are never serialized

[wintry quarry]

um yeah if it was static

[quick fractal]

I tried it with both static and not static

[wintry quarry]

that was your actual problem

[polar acorn]

It wasn't static in your screenshot

[wintry quarry]

(or if it was, it was cut off)

[quick fractal]

Ok I can't just.. Link stuff with a .

[quick fractal]

This wasn't static but also wasn't serialized

Seems I had to do both

[hybrid gust]

Screenshot of everything

[summer stump]

That is an issue caused either by something else in the project or the custom editor. Because that is not required in base unity
MonoBehaviours are serialiable automatically

[raw token]

Unless you're specifically trying to solve the problem with code and have made an effort or have more specific questions therein, this may be something to broach in #🏃┃animation and/or #🔀┃art-asset-workflow

[toxic pasture]

if I were to create a new type of tile that inherits from the "TileBase" class, how would I use it within the tilemap?

[hybrid gust]

Fair enough

Also I didn't realize I sent that as a reply my b

[rich adder]

You create the asset via Asset menu and just place it on the Tile palette as any other tile

its similiar to ScriptableObjects

these are Scriptable tiles

[glad rune]

so i am trying to add the pipe but its the same issue do i have to add it to the list in the instantiate line. i know what i am adding is the prefab ``` cs void spawnAPipe()
{
float LowestPoint = transform.position.y - heightOffset;
float HighestPoint = transform.position.y + heightOffset;
Instantiate(Pipe, new Vector3(transform.position.x, Random.Range(LowestPoint, HighestPoint), 0), transform.rotation);
pipes.Add(Pipe);

} ```

[rich adder]

you're not adding the instance..

[glad rune]

yeah

[rich adder]

i told you Instantiate returns the copy instantiated.

capture the result in a variable

[glad rune]

so : var copy = instantiate(...)

and then add copy

fair

yaaay it works. thanks a lot to anyone that helped much appreciated

[toxic pasture]

I don't see it in the Assets Menu.

also it still shows the script icon on it.

[rich adder]

did you add the attribute above the class

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/CreateAssetMenuAttribute.html

[toxic pasture]

no, I am doing that now

ok I still have more work to do but it works

[pliant valley]

Hey guys, I'm having some trouble with code that interacts with a GUI. It seems that the code is running before the GUI is finished loading into the program, and as a result some of the variables are referencing non-existent objects which causes errors during certain actions that involve interacting with the GUI. Is there a way to prevent a script from running until the entire GUI has finished loading?

[rich adder]

a good design 😅

[wintry quarry]

You would have to show us your code and explain what the GUI is made of and how it's loading etc.

as well as showing us the actual errors you're getting

[quick fractal]

Yup

Looks like that was it

[summer stump]

Ok, thanks for checking back and letting us know!

[ancient rampart]

how would I go about setting the width and height of an rect transform to be that of the texture I'm giving the imageui component?

[wintry quarry]

Press the "Set Native Size" button in the inspector

and/or call the function in code... https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.ugui@3.0/api/UnityEngine.UI.Image.html#UnityEngine_UI_Image_SetNativeSize

[ancient rampart]

hmmm guess I should've been more specific, I've got a waveform that I'm generating from an audio clip, but I need the rect it fills to be the same length as the generated waveform/audiolength

[wintry quarry]

audio length is an abstract concept

or rather, it's measured in time, or number of samples. Not in pixels

Therefore you'll have to decide how many pixels == one sample or whatever

[ancient rampart]

yeah ik, I'm trying to figure out a way to map the image to a timeline that'll be in seconds, not sure the best way to go about that

[wintry quarry]

if it's anything like audacity or any other waveform editor, you would basically have a "zoom level" at any given moment which has some value for "samples per pixel" that you change as you zoom in/out

[ancient rampart]

gotcha, I'd have to add in some logic for all the different sample rates for that, right?

since sample amounts would vary

[wintry quarry]

i mean realistically you'd probably write a shader that converts the sample data to visual/texture data on the fly

with the pixels per sample and position of the cursor within the sample as inputs

In the UI side it'd just be a RawImage of whatever size you want

[ancient rampart]

for context I'm trying to make a charter for a game (rhythm game stuff) the charts use microseconds for their unit of time and I'm gonna be trying to get some visualization in for the wav file that I can then use as reference when making the beat markers

I have some code that makes a waveform as a sprite for the ui image object, and that all is procedural

at the point where I need to figure out how to actually show the waveform properly with scaling and whatnot

[wintry quarry]

Yeah my recommendation would be a compute shader to draw the waveform in a texture

[ancient rampart]

rather than drawing to a texture without a shader?

[wintry quarry]

I would guess this is quite slow

the point of a shader would be to do this much faster so it doesn't bog your app down

is this for the editor though?

[ancient rampart]

yeah, this is all just an editor, not an actual game

it'd be parsing yaml data and converting from and to

[frozen stream]

y'know how in like the older midway racing arcade games, the physics were like your car was glued to the ground and had heavy gravity without the ablility to flip the car over no matter how big the jump was? how do I recreate that arcade-y feel with (I'm assuming) rigidbody forces

[wintry quarry]

Well those games almost certainly had custom physics

[teal viper]

I'm sure they didn't use realistic physics, but a custom movement controller probably.
If you really want to do it with rb forces, you'll need to apply some counter torque when the car is deviating from a certain orientation

[wintry quarry]

not an off-the-shelf physics engine

[frozen stream]

I figured it was custom non realistic physics I just meant that for the unity equivalent I'd have to use rigidbodies

[wintry quarry]

why would you have to use Rigidbodies?

You only have to use Rigidbodies if you want to use PhysX

You can write your own custom physics in C#, just like they wrote their own custom physics

[frozen stream]

idk I have some existing code that uses forces but if you think something like the character controller would be better...

[wintry quarry]

CharacterController is part of the Physics Engine too

[frozen stream]

well

I don't think I'm smart enough to remake custom car physics lol

how would I use counter forces to force the car to un realistically stay level in the air?

without flipping over due to center of mass

[teal viper]

Maybe get the dot product between it's current and desired orientation, and (with some math) use it as a multiplier for a torque.

[frozen stream]

what is a dot product?

i never done anything with physics

[teal viper]

Dot product is not really a physics thing.

Although it's used in game physics mechanics often.

[ripe shard]

dot product is when you graduate form trigonometry to real math and suddenly hard stuff gets easy 😉

[frozen stream]

one google search later it's the in between of two vectors?

or the middle i should say

[ripe shard]

its a projection of one vector onto another, the resulting value tells you how orthogonal they are to each other

0 = orthogonal, 1 = perfectly aligned, -1 opposite direction (when both vectors are normalized)

values in between can be interpreted as a cosine of the angle between the vectors

you could also imagine the dot product as the length of the shadow vector A casts on vector B

[frozen stream]

I need to learn more math for this lol, thank you for your help but I'm not smart enough to use it

I can't remember geometry class

[north oar]

how would i give a prefab some randomness when it spawns like one will spawn on the floor and one will spawn on the ceiling? or would i have to make 2 seperate prefabs

[strong wren]

You can pick based on Random.value being more or less than 0.5f.

[cosmic dagger]

If the prefab can spawn at multiple locations (positions), place them in a list and use Random.Range to select a random index based on the list.Count . . .

[ancient rampart]

what's the best way to instantiate a prefab incrementally? looking to spawn a line of objects with a specific spacing upwards

[raw token]

Usually just a for loop with the offset derived from the incrementing variable

[ancient rampart]

how would I go about that? been having some issues with using float inputs for the offset (gonna be using the user input as the offset amount, and it's a number with a decimal place)

gonna try to fit some examples I found to what I'm after in the meantime, or if you don't want to it's all good

[honest trench]

im having a problem where if the player crouches while idle, they stay in crouch even if they let go of control, and the only way to uncrouch is to walk and press control. Attached is a screenshot of my animator, and a pastebin with my movement state manager, my movementbasestate, and my idle and crouch state scripts. https://pastebin.com/78VHaC2z
please somebody help :)

and lmk if theres any thing else i can show to assist in diagnosing the problem

[raw token]

Something to the effect of

Vector3 spawnPosition = initialSpawnPosition;
for (int i = 0; i < spawnAmount; i++) {
  spawnPosition.y = initialSpawnPosition.y + i * verticalSpacing;
  Instantiate(prefab, spawnPosition, Quaternion.identity);
}

[ancient rampart]

thank you, I'll try to work this out

[raw token]

I forgot to include the initial position before adding the offset, originally. I corrected it - it might make a little more sense now 👀

[raw token]

@karmic isle Your condition in that if statement looks a little funky...

if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Space) == !isJumping)

This reads as "If whether or not the space key was pressed is equal to the opposite of whether or not the player is jumping"

What you should try to make it say is "If the space key was pressed and the player is not jumping"

[karmic isle]

i gotcha

what if i remove a "="

if i changed the == for && what that do anything? or maybe the answer is in the "inputkeydown"?

[deft grail]

just think of the difference between == and && and what that if statement would sound like then

[raw token]

= is the "assignment operator", used to set the variable on the left to the value on the right. You shouldn't ever really see it in an if statement's condition.

== is the "equality operator", which checks if the left and right are considered equal, and evaluates to the boolean value true or false respectively.

&& is the "boolean and operator", which will evaluate to true if the things on the left and the right both evaluate to true, and false otherwise.

Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Space) is fine 👍. From it's documentation page, we can see that when we call this method, it will return true if the key was just pressed this frame, and false otherwise

[mint remnant]

Let me know if you end up finding the texture like it's rotated 180 degrees with this

[karmic isle]

ah sick

good news, "&&" seemed to work instead or well atleast its recognized as "isjumping"

one step closer

[karmic isle]

dumb question, should i add a rigidbody or smthn? cuz when my character lands on the ground the "isjumping" doesnt switch to false

[mint remnant]

good code is self documenting, just make your code read like you want it to happen, if user pressed jump and player is not jumping...do this

[summer stump]

How do you change isJumping?
You do not necessarily need a rigidbody for this

[copper orbit]

i'd like to change the scale of an object when instantiated. Can I do this?

Transform bulletTransform = Instantiate(VfxSlash, pistolTransform.position, Quaternion.identity);

bulletTransform.transform.localScale = scale;

scale being a vector3

[deft grail]

yeah should be able to as long as VfxSlash is a Transform

[mint remnant]

you'll have to use the vector3 scale per axis remember, as you can't just multiply a vaector3 times another vector3

oh nvm, you're setting it, not multiplying it

how to scan whole project for errors using vscode unity extension? F8 used to find all errors in the project using omnisharp

now it wont show unless I open the files

now I have to rely on clicking errors in the console, rather than just staying in vscode and pressing F8

You don't need to do .transform when you already have the Tranform!

Nor ping people not already in a conversation with you

i didnt know i just joined to fix this

[queen adder]

doesnt really hurt posting it where it should be

[summer stump]

I meant that they were asking in #archived-code-advanced and posted here right after.
I agree it should have been in #archived-networking to begin with

[dark needle]

no i had a code issue]

[queen adder]

oh so it's the third, lol second is acceptable at most

[summer stump]

I know. I saw the whole thing
And it was NEVER an advanced issue (no offense intended). This second unrelated issue is not code related though

[topaz mortar]

GameObject equipment = GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag("Equipment");
Is this correct? Seems weird

[deft grail]

yeah why not, you shouldnt in general be using Find if you can avoid it

[topaz mortar]

So I have an Item and Inventory script, neither have references to the other
My Inventory holds a list of equipped items
I somehow need to access this from Item, so I can show the description of the currently equipped item (if there is one) when an item is hovered

[eternal needle]

Your inventory doesnt have a reference to items, yet it holds a list of them?
I would just have the inventory go through each item and assign itself to whatever is needed. Though I dont really see how this is needed. Your UI and inventory itself should be separate

[topaz mortar]

so Item would have a reference to Inventory, which is filled in the Inventory script? that kinda makes sense

seems like a waste of memory to add a reference on each item, but I guess it doesn't matter

I guess Inventory does have all the Item references

[eternal needle]

Well my last sentence was saying how you probably shouldnt need that at all. Because your UI is not (or should not be) the actual item itself

[topaz mortar]

if you're saying I should be doing something like MVC then that would just make things needlessly complicated, and it would just create the same issue in the view

[raw token]

Basic character movement

[topaz mortar]

my UI code is on the item itself atm

I could throw an event to inventory on hover, then have the inventory call the ShowDescription function on the item a second time if there's an equipped item
but kinda seems like a long detour

look in the shoot method to see how i did it

[topaz mortar]

you literally have a variable of which the name answers your question
please read your own code or go follow a basic tutorial

[raw token]

Just set BulletSpeed to something lower, no? 🙃

If you throw out the * 0.2f, then BulletSpeed will directly represent a velocity in "units per second."

[native hill]

thank u, i shouldve reread my code i havent gotten on unity in a bit

[raw token]

Hold up - on re-reading the code, rb is the spawning object's Rigidbody. You need to snag a reference to the clone you've instantiated's rigidbody and set the velocity on that instead

[half egret]

Good catch, I missed that!

[native hill]

changing the bullet speed didnt work at all everytime i tried, thank you ill do that

i feel like im missing something obvious, but no matter what i do, i cannot get the books to be recognised in the zones, its meant to be i bring the books and place them in the zone, when all three are there im done, but nothing i do seems to work

[raw token]

Are your Debug.Log()s in the OnTriggerStay() message logging stuff to the console?

What's the structure of the game objects here? It seems strange that the manager has a collider in addition to each book's designated drop zone

[ornate tree]

nope,

could you tell me which part is strange

[raw token]

Are the drop zones children of the object which this BookManager script is attached to?

[ornate tree]

no I thought i wouldnt have too since they are called publicly

like this i mean

[raw token]

Okay, so here's my confusion: OnTriggerStay() and other physics messages will only be called if the game object to which the script is attached or one or more of it's child objects has a relevant collider. So I didn't understand why this manager script would have some physical presence in the world, or how OnTriggerStay() would get called.

But it's not getting called, so this all makes a little more sense 😅

[ornate tree]

is there something im meant to be using instead?

}``` is this how to do it?

[raw token]

There are many different approaches to solving this issue...

You might add a script to your book prefabs - BookController or something. Set it up so that it has a reference to it's respective drop zone collider. In it's OnTriggerEnter() method check if the collider which it collided with is it's respective dropzone, and then have it do something to tell the manager that a book has been placed - it could invoke an event that the manager will subscribe to, or you could give the script a reference to the manager and have it execute some method on it. Do something similar to handle the book being removed. When the manager instantiates the book, have it pass the necessary references along.

You could alternately approach the problem from a script on the drop-zone collider.

Or moving the dropzones to be children of the manager object might just work as-is, but you should probably switch to OnTriggerEnter() as OnTriggerStay() is needlessly expensive for this purpose.

[raw token]

Sure that'd work 👍

But if you're not often in need of bullets without a rigidbody (or I guess using random prefabs as bullets?), it might make a little more sense to just add that component to the prefab and configure it's gravity there rather than doing so after it's spawned each time.

[native hill]

thank you so much, ill do that

[ripe hill]

hi yall i have a question
i made a village with tons of houses in unity 2d and i want to make them enterable so should i add the inside of the houses in the same scene and just teleport the player to it when he enters or should i make a new scene with the houses ? there are alot of houses so should i make many scene or should i just use 1 scene with just the houses in it ?
give me your suggestions plz

[summer stump]

do not crosspost please

[rich adder]

up to you, easier to use 1 scene sometimes
no need to crosspost.

[ripe hill]

ye sorry couldnt find the right channel

[summer stump]

Delete it from the other channel. I misread and yeah, this is a good channel

[ripe hill]

oh ok

[mint remnant]

hide the roof of the building they walk into?

[ornate tree]

i am absolutly lost, i tried some diffrent ways, but nothing worked

[deep yew]

I'm trying to get the object to jump if the spacebar has been touched and if IsOnGround is true, but it doesn't work.
It detects the if statement and it changes the boolean value of IsOnGround to false, but still doesn't work

[summer stump]

Don't use deltaTime in AddForce

Don't mix transform movement with rigidbodies. You will have to move away from the Translate calls

Is the rigidbody dynamic? Kinematic does not respond to forces, and thus AddForce will not work

[deep yew]

Alright, noted.

Nope, it's not dynamic

[summer stump]

Ok, I assume Translate is overriding it then. Combined witb deltaTime making it a miniscule amount of force.

This is all assuming that by "doesn't work" you mean it is not jumping

[deep yew]

Mhm

What shall I use then instead of translate to move the object around?

[summer stump]

Anything that starts with transform. is a no go.
You will either want rigidbody.velocity = or rigidbody.AddForce

[deep yew]

wait hold on, jump still doesn't work

[summer stump]

"Still"
After doing what?

[deep yew]

I removed the delta time and removed the translate functions

[summer stump]

Also wait, why are you adding vertical input into the jump?

VertiGo should likely not be part of it at all

If you are not pressing W, then the whole force becomes 0

If you are pressing S, it negates it and sends you down

[deep yew]

Oh

[summer stump]

Pressing W will just... act as if it is not there, because anything times 1 is just that value

[deep yew]

Looks like I still have a road ahead until I get stuff correct.
Thanks for the help/

works now 👍

No prob!

[twilit iris]

Im new to Unity and I tried to put UI>Legacy>Text on my scene . It shows on my scene but it never shows on my camera. I tried to tweak the Pos z of camera and the text itself and it never work. Any ideas what went wrong? Cause I don't :")

[languid spire]

Did you add it to a Canvas

[twilit iris]

is this considered adding to canvas? .-.

[eager spindle]

do you want the text in world-space or UI-space?

[twilit iris]

What even canvas do .-.

[eager spindle]

when it comes to displaying stuff theres two types; world space and UI space.
for example on this screen, the X is on UI space. when the camera moves, the UI doesnt move.

Placing UI objects in the canvas puts it on the Canvas.

[twilit iris]

Ohh like invertory button that pop when click actually shows 1 whole canvas?

[eager spindle]

Yep, the Inventory Menu is in UI space.

[twilit iris]

Then I want to make the text on world space

[eager spindle]

There's two types of Text. One for World Space, and one for UI space.
To make a text in world space, you'll want to look for it under 3D object -> Legacy -> Text.

I'd advise you to use the newer TextMeshPro instead as it's standard now. It will prompt you to add it to the project but after that its smooth sailing.

Objects in World Space have a Transform, while objects in UI Space have a Rect Transform. The attached image is what a Rect Transform looks like

[twilit iris]

Okay

Wait then I actually make it on UI space?

<< been following youtube tutorial but barely understand the basic concept itself

[eager spindle]

Where would you like your text? The first image shows your text in World Space. It's a 3d object.

The second image are buttons that stay on screen all the time. This is in UI space.

[twilit iris]

wait ill try to make a new 1 in world space and hope that work

wait it doesn't show anything

I create from UI>Legacy>Text. It spawned on canvas by default. And I dragged it out of canvas

[eager spindle]

This is not a World Space gameobject.

[twilit iris]

eh? QAQ

[eager spindle]

Theres a difference between the text in UI > Legacy > Text and 3D object > Legacy > Text

You wanted a world space text so you should get the one from 3D object

[twilit iris]

roger sir working on that

wait where

[eager spindle]

you're stll looking under UI.
Look under 3D object instead.

[twilit iris]

this?

[eager spindle]

yep

[twilit iris]

ah it shows

but how do u show ui space on scene then? .-.

I feel like it will be used for game pause a lot so I have no choice to debug this T_T

[eager spindle]

To show text in UI space go to UI->Legacy->Text. Make sure that the created object is under Canvas.

[twilit iris]

what factor do I have in mind to make sure its under the canvas? Since by hierarchy it shows it under the canvas .-.

[eager spindle]

Make sure your element is under the canvas like in the first image.
Check the rect transform of your element and make sure there's an icon there.

[twilit iris]

wait ... it already is right?

The thing I did tweak while debugging it myself is pos z, Render mode, anchor on text, Horizontal vertical overflow, The tag and layer thingy. Did any of those could affect it?

and the canvas scaler

[modest dust]

Your canvas is in screen space..

Press the canvas in the hierarchy, hover over the scene and press F to zoom out to the whole canvas

[twilit iris]

wha

[modest dust]

Yes, now adjust the text correctly

So that it's actually inside the canvas, and bigger

[twilit iris]

wait I can't move my canvas. So I have to drag my camera and other object into canvas instead?

[modest dust]

No, you do not move the canvas

Your canvas is in screen space render mode

It should look like this

Just move your text somewhere in bounds of the canvas and make it bigger

And play the game and see by yourself

[twilit iris]

uhhh i did put it on the intersection it still doesn't work

[modest dust]

Send a screenshot

[twilit iris]

something like this?

Im a bit confused

[modest dust]

Yes, it is now in bounds of the canvas

[twilit iris]

it somehow still doesn't show

[modest dust]

But as you zoom out again, you will see how small it is compared to the canvas

The way you see the canvas is how it will render in game

It will basically overlay it on the screen

Don't place the text relative to the scene objects, think of the canvas as of a blank piece of paper that will be glued to your face no matter where you go or how you rotate

[modest dust]

And well, it does show, if you zoom in enough to the bottom-left corner of the game

[twilit iris]

AH I SEE IT NOW

how?

[modest dust]

Read the bot message right below mine..

[normal thicket]

ok

[normal thicket]

i Have to exit safe mode for that

[twilit iris]

So what the correlation between canvas and camera? Can you just put multiple canvas outside of camera and it will just stick to the camera?

[normal thicket]

thanks I fixed it

[modest dust]

Then fix your errors first, you might have a duplicate PlayerMovement class somewhere, as the error suggests

if anyone could spare a moment of their time, im working on a VR project and i've run into something im not quite sure how to look up the answer for online, i'd be happy to share my screen though

[mossy pulsar]

can anyone tell me how to fix this problem

[half egret]

Do you want to set the text value of the scoreText?

You're currently assigning a string to a Text object

[languid spire]

you are trying to set the Text object not it's text property

[half egret]

If you want to assign the text value, it's scoreText.text = ...

[mossy pulsar]

oh i see thank you

yep the error is fixed now

[twilit iris]

why does my context menu doesn't show

[languid spire]

because context menu methods cannot take parameters

[twilit iris]

Ahh... Can we somehow make it to take parameters?

I saw this documentation but doesn't really understand anything

[eternal needle]

simplest way, make it call a method with no parameters. in your method, call the method you want with the params u want

[spare spade]

Hello. I'm wondering if there's a way to advance exactly one fixed update tick at runtime. I'm setting up some debug tools and want to be able to "frame by frame" in engine without using the editor frame by frame but I'm not entirely sure how to run exactly one fixed update tick when the timescale is set to 0

[languid spire]

tbh translating that example to your use case is very, very simple.
replace their playerBiography with your scoreToAdd
and their ResetBiography with your addScore

[sleek gazelle]

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Time-fixedDeltaTime.html
https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Time-timeScale.html

You could look into that but I can't really help you more

[spare spade]

I think I figured it out

I just added a boolean that checks if the game is in frame advance mode and automatically resets the timescale to 0f after the frame advance function flips the boolean and sets the timescale to 1

    private void FixedUpdate()
    {
        UpdateTimer();
        movementTick?.Invoke();
        animationTick?.Invoke();
        hitboxTick?.Invoke();
        if(isFrameAdvance)
        {
            isFrameAdvance = false;
            Time.timeScale = 0f;
        }
    }```

[waxen raft]

I'm not sure if it's the code, but I don't know how to make sure that the object doesn't pass through the walls

[languid spire]

no, but you could have an empty child game object with a different tag

[spare spade]

What specifically do you need to edit tags for? Damage numbers?

np

I was gonna suggest using the physics matrix but if you got it you got it

[winter tinsel]

ive been pulling my hair out trying to figure out how to make a jump work

i simply cant, and tutorials arent helping either

movement code

i give up

[wintry quarry]

Your code is directly setting the velocity on the y axis which will overwrite any kind of jumping code you attempt

Every jumping tutorial will address this problem

In one way or another

[hidden iris]

for some reason when i use keycode.(whatever key on the keyboard) it just doesnt register

[winter tinsel]

||hint (getkey)||

[wintry quarry]

Define "use keycode". What code did you write exactly and where did you put it?

[molten dock]

is there c# stuff that is not relevant for unity

[hidden iris]

so i put if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Space)) and it doesnt register space it used to do the same with d and a until i went into the input manager and made d the negative button for horizontal movement if i added a to the positive it would no longer work

[languid spire]

yes, lots

[wintry quarry]

Again, where did you put this code?

Show the full script

[hidden iris]

oh in update i read somewhere it doesnt work on fixed update

[molten dock]

where may i learn just the relevant

[wintry quarry]

what makes you think it's not working like this? Are you looking at your console window?

[rough hill]

I am getting an Index Out of Bounds Exception on this. I assume the code is trying to access an index that is not in the arrays length. How can I handle this?

[molten dock]

i have hit a wall in my coding skill idk how to do anything thats not a monobehavior and game mechanic

[wintry quarry]

Always make sure the index you try to access is within bounds of the array

[hidden iris]

so the button doesnt register when i press it i changed it to w or f or t or basically anything and it still doesnt register might be something with my unity

[wintry quarry]

C# is a big thing, and the majority of it is relevant for Unity, it won't be something you quickly learn in a day or so.

Try the official Microsoft learning materials

[wintry quarry]

How do you know it's not registering

[languid spire]

I don't think there is anywhere specific but you can generally see in the namespace of the API if it is relevant to Unity, e,g, System namespace is relevant, Windows namespace is not

[hidden iris]

i put a debug it doesnt show and the chatacter doesnt jump

rb.AddForce(Vector3.up * jumpForce, ForceMode.Impulse);
Debug.Log("Jumping");

[wintry quarry]

You sure the log doesn't show? Where are you looking?

[hidden iris]

in console

i already have debugs for going left and right and those show

this is most defintly a my unity only thing isnt it

[sullen zealot]

hello is there a way to get the sprite location of an image component in script? something like:

string location = transform.GetComponent<Image>().sprite.location // and hopefull it would return a string like "C:/.../Assets/UI/Image.png"

[languid spire]

no, because things like paths don't really exist at run time

[sullen zealot]

not even the name of the png image that contains the sprite(like the spritesheet)?

[wintry quarry]

Don you have Collapse enabled?

[hidden iris]

its off

listen its okay ill find another way to do this since this doesnt seem like a mainstream issue

👍

i hate unity's input manager it sucks

[languid spire]

no, sprite.texture.name returns the name of the gameobject not the name of the texture file

[wintry quarry]

The thing is when you use GetKey the input manager isn't even involved

[hidden iris]

💀

im going to godot

[wintry quarry]

It just directly reads the key

[wintry quarry]

Perhaps your code is throwing an exception? Or perhaps your keyboard has a hardware issue 🤷

[hidden iris]

then why does changing stuff in the input manager affects the code

[hidden iris]

oh its a laptop

might be diffrent

prob not

[wintry quarry]

It shouldn't . You sure you have the right script attached?

[hexed terrace]

nope

[hidden iris]

yupe

this is the only script i have

damn

[wintry quarry]

Basically... I'm not sure I believe you that it doesn't work as written 😂

[hidden iris]

ill just share it all

rb.AddForce(Vector3.up * jumpForce, ForceMode.Impulse);
Debug.Log("Jumping");

oh wait

[wintry quarry]

The log will certainly work but the jumping itself isn't going to with how you did your movement code

[hidden iris]

yes this is a subway surfers but no i didnt make it out of my artistic liberty

someone asked me to

[hidden iris]

dam

[winter tinsel]

okay i have a jump, my only requirement now is to make it more floaty

[hidden iris]

reuce grav

reduce grav

[winter tinsel]

i hope it doesnt break literally everything

[hidden iris]

lol

nah

[languid spire]

mixing addforce and moveposition is not going to work

[hidden iris]

trust

[winter tinsel]

halfed it rn

[hexed terrace]

if you reduce the project gravity, it will affect everything that uses gravity

[hidden iris]

foreshadowing nothing

[hidden iris]

forget that for a minute the debug log should work

[winter tinsel]

ill just add gravity to everything else

[hidden iris]

n-no

just change

the players grav

[winter tinsel]

hpw

how

[hidden iris]

💀

idk

im new

rb

or

[winter tinsel]

so why are you giving advice??

[hidden iris]

i did this before

reduce player mass

[languid spire]

I can see one scenario where your Debug will not work. if rb is null

[hidden iris]

using rigid body

[winter tinsel]

its """"1""""

[hexed terrace]

it can go lower

[hidden iris]

make it 0.9

or .8

[winter tinsel]

whatt

[hidden iris]

or .0000000001

it works

[hidden iris]

how the turns have tabled

[hexed terrace]

there are numbers smaller than 1..

[hidden iris]

looks like im the pro

[hidden iris]

indeed

i shouldnt be talking i cant add a jump

[hexed terrace]

You should certainly be talking a lot less

[hidden iris]

i spent 3 hours on this // Handle jumping based on input
if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Space))
{
// Apply a vertical force to jump
rb.AddForce(Vector3.up * jumpForce, ForceMode.Impulse);
Debug.Log("Jumping");
}

and it wont work

ok

happy

[raw token]

The script in your IDE is playermovement.cs. That appears to be using a separate PlayerMovement.cs

[winter tinsel]

reducing the mass of my rb just makes the jump stronger

it doesnt keep the rigid body in the air for longer

warum

maybe it has to do with this

but if i dont actively give it gravity it falls incredibly slow

and i dont know why

its like the gravity isnt actually affecting it

[hidden iris]

lemme check

[raw token]

playermovement.cs contains the PlayerMovement class. PlayerMovement.cs contains the Player_Movement class.

[languid spire]

you do know that max code is nonsense

[winter tinsel]

figures

ill just get rid of it

[modest dust]

If there's anything to remember from Physics class, it's that gravity affects every mass in the same way. It's the other outside forces that hinder the fall speed (such as air resistance).

[hidden iris]

so i have multiple player movement scripts but the diffrence is so small i didnt notice it was diffent

nice

[winter tinsel]

okay yeah im a phyx nerd i know that

what i dont get is why increasing the drag

doesnt

do

what

it shoudl

i made it an insane value and no dice, im beyond confused

[hidden iris]

listen

making mass less

will make jump stronger

but also make u stay in air a bit longer

[winter tinsel]

not what i wneed

[winter tinsel]

from what i see its a fraction of a second longer

[hidden iris]

so just make it so that u have low mass and low jump power to stay in air longer

[hidden iris]

make mass less then

[winter tinsel]

its 0.5

[hidden iris]

do u think ur gonna need mass later on

or is this the only instance of its use

if so then just make it as low as it needs to be

like .0 something

[winter tinsel]

okay

[eager spindle]

video game characters jump really high which is why falling also takes much longer, adjust your gravity scale accordingly
imagine being able to jump 8x your height

[hidden iris]

u should probably not this is like leaving the broken glass under the rug

but uh

[eager spindle]

mass doesnt affect the rate you fall btw

in a vacuum, a block of steel and a feather fall at the same rate

[wintry quarry]

drag isn't working because you're applying gravity manually

and because your code is setting y velocity to 0 every frame

as I mentioned like an hour ago

[winter tinsel]

but steel is heaver than feathers...

[eager spindle]

1kg of steel or 1kg feathers

unless you're working in microsoft flight sim or smth, video game physics dont really take air resistance into account

[winter tinsel]

which ones heavier

[hidden iris]

neither

[eager spindle]

the steel because steel is heavier than feathers!!

[winter tinsel]

but theyre both a kilogram

[wintry quarry]

Vector3 velocity = direction * Moveforce; // poorly named variable :(
velocity.y = playerbody.velocity.y;
playerbody.velocity = velocity;```
You need something like this @winter tinsel
in order for gravity to work normally

[hidden iris]

so turns out sharing a pc with someone working on a seperate unity project without u knowing so isnt a good idea

i wanna kms

[winter tinsel]

oh boy

[eager spindle]

another victim to lack of source control

[cosmic oxide]

My player is at x=0, y=0, Z=0. The values changes to some weird numbers when I hit play but the player is still technically at 0,0,0 in the scene. Can somebody help?

[eager spindle]

this is something like 0.0000000007, 0.00000001

nothing to be concerned about

[hidden iris]

she made a player momvemnt script and i made a PlayerMovement script

😭

[eager spindle]

this is 7 x10 ^ -11

type that into your calculator

idk why its yellow though

[winter tinsel]

its edited

[cosmic oxide]

How do I use it in the script

[winter tinsel]

i can see its highlighted

[eager spindle]

? what do you mean use it in the script

just set the player's transform.position

[winter tinsel]

seperate the horizontal from the vertical velocity?

[winter tinsel]

whats the point of the float? we done use it anywhere

[wintry quarry]

sorry yeah it isn't needed

i was adapting the code from a slightly different version that used it

[winter tinsel]

aha

[wintry quarry]

I would bring up this issue with the asset pack publisher and see what they say

also this is not a code issue

[hexed terrace]

You delete the one from here

[tulip spear]

just didn’t wanna remove context for mods no need to get sassy. sorry

[cosmic dagger]

You do it, don't make us (them) have to work . . .

[winter tinsel]

im lost

im confused

nothing makes sense anymore

my playerbody is falling incredibly slowly

whgat

AAAAAA WE HAVE JUMP, FINALLY, 3 DAYS FOR THIS

time to make sprint now

[rough orbit]

This is a script for a finish line. Why doesn't this work? Before doing the if statement it worked fine.

[hexed terrace]

read the error message it's giving you

[rough orbit]

I'm a beginner so something being ambigous doesnt really help me

"CS0104 'Debug' is an ambiguous reference between 'UnityEngine.Debug' and 'System.Diagnostics.Debug'"

[hexed terrace]

Debug exists in two places (namespaces), it doesn't know which one to use in your class

look at the top of the class, at all the lines that start with using

[rough orbit]

This is the entire script. Debug doesnt exist anywhere else from my understanding?

[hexed terrace]

Read the bottom two, and then read the error again

[languid spire]

if you misuse lerp like that, no, because it will never complete

[winter tinsel]

speaking of, sprint jumping sends me to mars

[hexed terrace]

The correct way to lerp https://gamedevbeginner.com/the-right-way-to-lerp-in-unity-with-examples/

[rough orbit]

I'm sorry but I'm still lost. The error message says UnityEngine.Debug and System.Diagnostics.Debug but reading the bottom 2 they're only called UnityEngine etc? So where is the actual error?

[wintry quarry]

The third parameter you pass into Lerp is t, which is the elapsed percentage of completion. When t reaches 1, the Lerp has been completed.

The implication is you are intended to be incrementing t yourself over time until it reaches 1. So you will know when it's done. But you aren't using Lerp properly.

[gusty scaffold]

does Instantiate return a game object? there are a lot of "instantiate" methods in the docs and i don't know which one i'm using

[wintry quarry]

Instantiate returns the same type that you pass in

So in this case, since flipperprefab is a GameObject, yes it will return a GameObject

[cosmic oxide]

yes exactly

[hexed terrace]

No, the bottom two are
UnityEngine and System.Diagnostics
and the error shows **UnityEngine**.Debug and **System.Diagnostics**.Debug

Because you have both namespaces, it doesn't know which one to use for Debug .. so you need to remove one of them

[gusty scaffold]

thanks!

[rough orbit]

I removed System.Diagnostics and the error is gone, but can't say I've learned why lol. System.Diagnostics was there by default upon script creation. Why would it create conflicting stuff by default?

[eager spindle]

vs just adds including of namespaces from time to time

[hexed terrace]

System.Diagnostics was not there by default, it most likely got added when you did an autocomplete typing Debug - intellisens will come up with numerous options and you've most likely selected the wrong one

[eager spindle]

always check the top of your file

[hexed terrace]

Top one is from UnityEnigne, second one is from System.Diagnostics and will add it to the top if I select it

[rough orbit]

But I never touched the "using" stuff at the top. It popped up there when I wrote the Debug line in the class?

[wintry quarry]

you accidentally accepted a suggestion from your IDE.

[rough orbit]

Oh well, thanks guys

[round mulch]

Hi, I'm having issues with gravity and wanted to know if there is a work around.
Basically I'm trying to have a falling box that the player needs to pick up, which'll add a point and then move it back up. The issue is it won't respond to being touched with rigidbody outside of landing on top of the player. Is there any work around I can implement so it'll still fall but react to being touched?

[hexed terrace]

"being touched" is what, in the context of your game?

[round mulch]

The player character is moving back and forth to grab falling boxes, and I want the box to acknowledge it's coming into contact with the player character. both have box colliders, and the box has a rigidbody so it'll fall, but I think that's confusing it cause it ends up just sitting on my player character's head

[hexed terrace]

so you want it to pass through the player?

that's not "confusing it" .. it's doing what it's setup to do

[winter tinsel]

for some reason, this makes my character, when jumping, go to mars

why

he sprints right but then when i jump it makes me go to into the stratosphere

[wintry quarry]

because it says "every frame, double my y velocity"

[winter tinsel]

oh

no

but wiat what

[wintry quarry]

if you hold the key down for only 5 frames, you will multiply your velocity by 32

[winter tinsel]

if thats the case i should constantly be accelerating

[wintry quarry]

after 10 frames, you will multiply it by a million

[winter tinsel]

but my vertical velocity is fine??

i mean horisontal

[wintry quarry]

you're multiplying the entire velocity by 2

including horizontal

[winter tinsel]

yea my issue is the horisontal velocity is fine??

it doesnt accelerate

i dont turn into a train

[wintry quarry]

you are confusing as hell lmao, you keep switching your story

[winter tinsel]

huh?

[wintry quarry]

here you said vertical is fine

[winter tinsel]

i said my jump is not working right

i mixed it up and said I MEAN HORISONTAL

[winter tinsel]

!!!

running doesnt turn me into a train, but if i jump i get sent to mars

how and why

i do not have the horisontal values clamped

x,z

[wintry quarry]

right well i explained that already

[winter tinsel]

shouldnt that make my horisontal velocities also become huge?

[wintry quarry]

iirc you're specifically setting your horizontal velocity erasch frame to a certain speed

[wintry quarry]

no because you're overwriting it later

[wintry quarry]

i.e. here if you're using code like this

[winter tinsel]

yea

how do i overwrite the vertical velocity then

[wintry quarry]

Vector3 velocity = rb.velocity;
velocity.y = whateverYouWant;
playerbody.velocity = velocity;```

same way

[winter tinsel]

wdym by whatever you want

i guess the gravity?

[wintry quarry]

no

the velocity

you asked how do I set the y velocity

[winter tinsel]

overwrite

[wintry quarry]

yes

which is the same as setting

[winter tinsel]

so it doesnt go flying

then

[wintry quarry]

why would it go flying

[winter tinsel]

its going flying right now??

[wintry quarry]

it's only going flying because of your other code

[winter tinsel]

thats the issue

[wintry quarry]

yeah because your code doubles the velocity each frame

stop doing that

[round mulch]

So I was able to figure out my issue with the rigidbody, but now I'm trying to get it to react to being touched. For refrence, here's a video of the game. I want the box to move back up and give the player a point when the player character touches it. Both have box colliders active.

[wintry quarry]

mp4 to embed a video in discord

[round mulch]

i don't know why it saved like that

[round mulch]

There, rerecorded it as mp4

The issue is around 35 seconds in

I want the box to give a point and move when it collides with the player character's collider

[wintry quarry]

ok welll... what did you do to try to make that happen?

All we got was a zoomed in scene view of the object

you'll need to actually set up the physics components and code to do it.

[round mulch]

Here's the code

[wintry quarry]

first off your IDE is not configured

you should start with that so you can code with intellisense and error highlighting

You should use either Visual Studio, Visual Studio Code, or JetBrains Rider. Anything else, it won't have official or likely very functional Unity support... A properly configured editor will catch many a error as soon as you type it rather than when you wait for it compile, and will offer a plethora of other invaluable features, like autocomplete and a debugger.

Per this server's scripting #854851968446365696, a properly configured IDE is a requisite for assistance. It really is worth the time investment now - the earlier you do it, the more time and tears it will save you

[mint remnant]

            Ray rayCheck = new Ray(Camera.main.transform.position, (transform.forward - transform.up).normalized);
            RaycastHit hitCheck;
            if (Physics.Raycast(rayCheck, out hitCheck, 1.5f, groundedMask))
                Debug.DrawLine(transform.position, hitCheck.point, Color.white, 5);
            else
                Debug.DrawLine(transform.position, 1.5f * (transform.forward - transform.up).normalized, Color.red, 5); // just wtf

Was expecting this to give me a nice white line in front of the player controller just ahead of where he walks, instead got a red line off at some odd angle and rather long. Anything obviously wrong?

[pallid nymph]

I assume it requires 2 points, not point and a direction

[mint remnant]

oh crap, you're right

too early

[wintry quarry]

Well drawing a line from the camera straight to the ray hit will not really be visible from the camera. It might be one pixel

[ancient rampart]

hey again, so I'm running into a few issues, the prefabs aren't spawning from the gameobj that has the script, they should be spawning as children of it, not sure how to go about that, figured it'd do that since it's being instantiated from the specific object, also it isn't respecting the "numberOfObjects" variable, it's spawning infinitely, and another issue that I'm running into but I can worry about that after is it's not added the offset, not sure how I went so far off the rails with this hahaha

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

ok sike

offset is solved

I should've read

rest of it idk tho

[raw token]

Fire! Chaos!

[ancient rampart]

new coder!

that comes with the gig hahaha

at least the offsetting works now lmao

also it does have to be in update since I want the positions to adjust based on the bpm

[wintry quarry]

well you're spawning numberOfObjects items each frame

[round mulch]

https://hastebin.com/share/neyipidoco.csharp
Ok I'm still going and it's still not reacting to coming into contact with the other collider. Anyone able to help me figure this out?

[ancient rampart]

it should only be doing that until it hits the cap, shouldn't it?

[wintry quarry]

why? What cap? There's no cap

nothing in the code that would stop it

[wintry quarry]

Update runs every frame

[wintry quarry]

yes

it does that whole thing every frame

[ancient rampart]

yeah this is under the number of objects right

[wintry quarry]

frame*. So 20 objects each frame

[raw token]

the prefabs aren't spawning from the gameobj that has the script, they should be spawning as children of it

There are two ways to accomplish this here - you can either choose one of the Instantiate() overloads which includes the Transform parent argument, or you can change the parent after the fact by storing Instantiate()s return value in a variable (which will be a reference to the new clone's GameObject) and calling .transform.SetParent() on it

[wintry quarry]

not sure what this sentence means

[ancient rampart]

Should've checked the instantiate doc, it's got the example you sent there smh at me

it's in start so that makes sense

figured it was just making objects iterating by 1 up until that amount

[wintry quarry]

yes, it does exactly that. But because you have it in Update, it does that every frame

[gusty scaffold]

wow i was just working on the same problem. i used .transform.SetParent()

[ancient rampart]

you just said it does 20 every frame

[wintry quarry]

yes

[ancient rampart]

not 1 every frame up until 20 exist

[wintry quarry]

no

20 ewach frame

every frame

[wintry quarry]

yes counts up from 0 to 20

in a single frame

within the frame

and then does it again next frame

[ancient rampart]

so not 1 every frame

[wintry quarry]

no i never said 1 every frame

[ancient rampart]

I did

and you said exactly that

[wintry quarry]

never

[wintry quarry]

The thing I said exactly that to was "making objects iterating by 1 up until that amount"

which is what it does

just, within a single frame

not over many frames

for (int i = 0; i < 20; i++) will do:
i = 0
i = 1
i = 2
...
And so on up to 20

[ancient rampart]

gotcha

[raw token]

also it does have to be in update since I want the positions to adjust based on the bpm

You might keep it in Update(), but if these are supposed to spawn on the beat, you'll probably need to implement some sort of timer or other control such that the loop only runs if it's time to drop the beat.

If you mean that the already spawned beats should be moved rather than creating new ones, you should spawn them outside of Update(), and store a reference to each beat clone in some collection - probably a List of GameObjects or Transforms - and then iterate through the list and change their positions when the beat drops

[ancient rampart]

yeah I was thinking about how I was gonna do that, especially since I'd need to edit them in relativity to eachother/the first one

I'll take it deleting and re-instantiating isn't an ideal way of doing that

I do still plan on marking down each beat with a collection btw

I need that for the charting stuff to map notes onto the timeline

[mint remnant]

you are including both in the using statements

[cosmic dagger]

you somehow added using System.Numerics statement that has a Vector2 class . . .

[slender nymph]

because you added the System.Numerics namespace, likely by accident when not paying attention to something you autocompleted.
https://unity.huh.how/compiler-errors/cs0104

no it wasn't

[cosmic dagger]

the code does not know which Vector2 you want to use. you need to specify UnityEngine.Vector2 or System.Numerics.Vector2 . . .

just remove the using statement you don't need . . .

[slender nymph]

you know what does cause it? when you go to autocomplete Vector2 but don't pay attention and you autocomplete the one from the System.Numerics namespace

[wintry quarry]

depends how you define "better"

Easier for beginners: Legacy
More powerful and flexible: New Input System

As in more features like:

• Runtime rebinding
• Local multiplayer support
• Event Based input handling

[raw token]

I haven't entirely grasped your intended outcome is here, so it's hard to say either way.

If you'll need the game objects for all of the beats simultaneously at some point, yeah - it probably makes sense to just keep adding to the collection. Or if you know/can calculate how many beats you will need for the full song, you could allocate an array of that size ahead of time, and possibly immediately fill it in with disabled game objects which you just activate as the song progresses...

But if the beat data does or can exist independently of the game objects, and the timeline would not use the same game objects as... whatever this thing is... you might also look into "Object Pooling" at some point - it's a good tool to have in your toolbox.

That said, make something which works first - improve upon it after 👍

[ancient rampart]

fair, the goal is essentially make a bunch of "beat" markers that'll make up the timeline, individualize them all so the charting data can map to them (1, 2, 3,4, etc) and allow you to change the offset between them if you change the bpm, I think for simplicity sake, just delete and re-instantiate if the bpm has been changed, then readjust the placements of the notes, also I'll look into objects pooling

[gusty scaffold]

how can i associate a variable of type int[][] with instances of an object?

there's a "variables" component but it doesn't have that data type

[wintry quarry]

in what way would you associate it?

What are you trying to do?

in general "associations" can be made with a Dictionary

but it's unclear if you're trying to associate a given int[][] or a given int or a given int[] to a particular GameObject

[mint remnant]

is that synonomous with int [,] ?

[wintry quarry]

no

they are different

[gusty scaffold]

right, i meant int[,]

[wintry quarry]

but that's also beside the point

[gusty scaffold]

it isn't synonymous in C#

[raw token]

That's a jagged array - the inner arrays can have different lengths, whereas they'll have the same length in a multidimensional array. Because of this property, jagged arrays are an array of references to arrays, while a multidimensional array is contiguous in memory... And some other differences I've forgotten since I last looked them up 😅

[wintry quarry]

If you want, for example, each object to have its own array of ints, you can just make a component that has an array of ints and put that on each GameObject.

[gusty scaffold]

in the same way the "variables" component associates variables to game objects

[wintry quarry]

Are you talking about visual scripting or something?

[gusty scaffold]

i'm looking at the UI

[wintry quarry]

what UI

[polar acorn]

I don't follow what you mean. Can you give a concrete example of what you're trying to do and what's not happening?

[gusty scaffold]

the inspector

[wintry quarry]

The Variables component is part of the Visual Scripting package

it's only relevant for Visual Scripting

[polar acorn]

Ah, okay, you want a 2D array to show up in the inspector?

[gusty scaffold]

yes, that would suit my need

[wintry quarry]

Ok that would have been a better question to ask

[gusty scaffold]

it doesn't strictly need to show up in the inspector

[wintry quarry]

if it doesn't need to show up in the inspector it's enough to just make a variable in a script and call it a day

[polar acorn]

I don't think those are serializable by default. You could finagle one by making a Serializable class that extends, for example, int[] and making an array of that object. But it makes the code messy

Or you could use a custom inspector

[polar acorn]

Wait then what's the problem? 🤔

[gusty scaffold]

where to put the script?

it can't be attached to the game object itself

because then every instance would have the same values

i assume

[polar acorn]

What object do you want to have the script?

[gusty scaffold]

i don't know

i guess i need a controller object to assign values to each object

[wintry quarry]

no that's completely the opposite of how it works

variables on a script are unique to each individual instance of the script

[gusty scaffold]

oh...

[polar acorn]

unless they're static

[gusty scaffold]

but they are initialized in the script

so they will get the same values even if they are in different memory locations

[polar acorn]

Possibly. Or they're initialized somewhere else

[wintry quarry]

The point would be you write code that gives them different values

[polar acorn]

They don't initialize themselves, you have to do that

[gusty scaffold]

yes but where to put the initialization code?

[wintry quarry]

Well why not use the inspector?

[gusty scaffold]

should i make a controller object?

the inspector?

[wintry quarry]

yes the inspector

"The muffin man?"

[wintry quarry]

if you do:

public int Damage;``` in a script, you can set that value differently on each instance, from the inspector

that's kind of the whole point of the inspector

[gusty scaffold]

but when does code run if it's not attached to an object?

[wintry quarry]

it doesn't

generally

until you call it

[gusty scaffold]

i need the initialization code to run

[wintry quarry]

what code

This discussion is far too abstract right now for us to give you any useful answers. If you want better help, you should start sharing actual details about your situation

[gusty scaffold]

okay

[polar acorn]

How about instead of us needing to bust out the deerstalker caps and magnifying glass you say what your actual problem is and what is happening

[gusty scaffold]

i'll give more details

i appreciate the help btw

this box displays a bunch of numbers... i want each instance of the box to display a different set of numbers

[wintry quarry]

based on what

like you want to just set them up in the inspector somewhere?

[gusty scaffold]

the designer of the level

[wintry quarry]

Or read from a file?

Or what

[wintry quarry]

Using the inspector is one good approach then

[rocky canyon]

yup, as a level designer i'd be happiest entering them in an inspector somewhere

[gusty scaffold]

but the inspector doesn't allow for array variables

[wintry quarry]

sure it does

[rocky canyon]

u can modify an array

[polar acorn]

It doesn't allow for 2D Arrays

[wintry quarry]

public int[] myArray;``` try this and see what happens @gusty scaffold

[polar acorn]

But why would you need a 2D Array? Each box looks like it contains a single number

[rocky canyon]

^ uncollapse

[polar acorn]

You probably want an int on each box

[wintry quarry]

[Serializable]
public class Row {
  public int[] Numbers;
}

public Row[] Rows;```
Also try this @gusty scaffold you will see it works just fine

[gusty scaffold]

you're right, that did work
i'm trying the other code you provided too. it doesn't recognize the name "Serializable"

i may need an import

[wintry quarry]

using System;

your IDE should tell you that automatically

[gusty scaffold]

thanks, i probably don' thave all the extensions installed for VScode

now i'm looking for how that class would be serialized

probably a comma-separated list

oh dang, i don't need to do that

the UI just handled it

i wasn't expecting that lol

thanks

wait...

this doesn't solve my original problem

wait...

[wintry quarry]

It should if I understand your problem correctly...

[gusty scaffold]

oh yeah it does

sorry i had a moment

[wintry quarry]

You will of course still have to write a little code to populate stuff from that data

[karmic isle]

hey good news, I figured out how to jump only once with my code that i spoke out yesterday

only problem is. when I press jump the first time my character jumps the highest

but once i land and try to jump again my jump is extremely stunted and at a certain point i barely leave the ground

is this like a gravity problem? or a code problem? I remember having this problem before but i dont remember what I did to fix it

[rich adder]

bad gravity check, also why are you using translation?

that was a really slick solution, but honestly it's kind of ugly in the inspector, so i might just use an array of strings and parse the strings into ints

[wintry quarry]

you shouldn't use transform.Translate with Rigidbodies

You'll want to rewrite your code to use the Rigidbody.

That's causing your issue because your object is essentially building up a huge downward velocity in the Rigidbody.

[karmic isle]

i gotcha

[fringe plover]

Is it good idea?

is there a way to add gravity without my rigidbody? i really dont wanna rewrite all this code since ive spent so much time trying to figure it out...

[polar acorn]

Yes, you just need to know what gravity is. It's a downward acceleration. Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity. Velocity is the rate of change of position.

thank you ill try it out

can some one help me with UI on Unity 😄

ik this is simple but I am struggling to find an answer, how can I check if a gameobject is an instance of a specific prefab

[polar acorn]

You can't, not directly.

But if the prefab has some unique script on it you can check for that

[ancient rampart]

ohhh ok

that'd explain why it's so hard to find an answer

[wintry quarry]

what's your end goal/reason for wanting to know this?

[ancient rampart]

clearing all instances and regenerating

[wintry quarry]

just put them in a list as you spawn them

then you have a list of all of them at all times

[ancient rampart]

never messed with lists before, how would I go about that?

[forest pasture]

or where can i ask about this question ??

[polar acorn]

I mean, you haven't actually asked a question

[rich adder]

what am I looking at

[polar acorn]

you just posted a picture of a canvas

[wintry quarry]

Basic example:

public MyScript myPrefab;
List<MyScript> spawnedObjects = new();

void SpawnAThing() {
  MyScript instance = Instantiate(myPrefab);
  spawnedObjects.Add(instance);
}

void DestroyAllThings() {
  foreach (MyScript thing in spawnedObjects) {
    Destroy(thing.gameObject);
  }
  spawnedObjects.Clear();
}

[rich adder]

are you saying the fullscreenmode maybe ?
double click the Scene Tab @forest pasture

or shift + spacebar

[forest pasture]

thanks 😄

it works

[ancient rampart]

oh interesting, ok thank you, I appreciate it

i have a script that imitates running along a wall for a short period, and I'm trying to lessen the amount of gravity the player experiences while running across, but even when i divide the Physics.gravity value by 10 the player still falls at the same rate. How do i fix that?

    {
        isWallRunning = true;
        canJump = true;
        float wallRunDuration = 1.5f;
        float wallRunTimer = 0f;

        Vector3 tempGrav = Physics.gravity / 10;

        Vector3 wallRunVelocity = wallContact.right * wallRunSpeed;
        body.velocity = new Vector3(wallRunVelocity.x, body.velocity.y, wallRunVelocity.z);

        while (wallRunTimer < wallRunDuration)
        {
            wallRunTimer += Time.deltaTime;
            float wallRunProgress = wallRunTimer / wallRunDuration;
            body.velocity = Vector3.Slerp(wallRunVelocity, tempGrav, wallRunProgress);
            yield return null;
        }
        isWallRunning = false;
    }```

isn't normal gravity still in effect here? It will continue to operate normally.

[muted wadi]

it should be manipulating the velocity of the object directly, so making the gravity 10% of what it was should also slow the descent with slerping

i could be wrong
