Actually I fixed it...

Thanks though.

[errant solar]

guys help please

@sick cloud

[languid spire]

this code makes absolutely no sense. What are you trying to do?

[errant solar]

the code is too long and i had to duplicate it alot so i need to make this
Input Player = new Input(Input.GetKey(KeyCode.W) | Input.GetKey(KeyCode.S) || (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.D) | Input.GetKey(KeyCode.A)))
do you have solution?

[languid spire]

what makes you think that that is even valid code?

[errant solar]

what is the correct code?

[languid spire]

I'm not going to tell you.
look at it
Input is a static class so cannot be new'ed
GetKey returns a bool so why would that be passed into a class constructor?
you are mixing | and || without seperation. What do you expect that to do?

[errant solar]

i made this | in discord cuz if i made it || you 'll see like this ||

[errant solar]

what is the solution ?

[languid spire]

the solution is you learning how to code or at least read the docs

you still haven't answered this question #💻┃code-beginner message

[errant solar]

i think this chat is for helping not for get no answer, you tell " im not going to tell you " you should not help here

[errant solar]

Create codes im free bro

[languid spire]

I'm not going to give you code, however I am trying to help you figure it out yourself so you actually learn something

[errant solar]

so i can't make else that?

[languid spire]

nothing wrong with this
althought why only one | after the first part?

[errant solar]

im just forget to put it

[languid spire]

but, yes, you can turn that into a bool but not an Input

[errant solar]

thanks

[spark glacier]

Hello I'm trying to make my player jump when space is pressed but whenever I try to do so the gravity always resets the player to the ground. I tried making a bool for isJumping and using that but it still doesn't work. Can anyone help?

Here is my code

[languid spire]

Look at the logic of your code
Frame 1
keyDown is true isGrounded is true so jump
Frame 2
keydown is false isjumping = false
isgrounded is false isjumping is false so apply gravity

Your jump logic is never given the time to actually happen

[spark glacier]

So how do I give it time?

[languid spire]

use a timer before setting isJumping to false

[spark glacier]

Okay thanks Ill try that

[long jacinth]

guys how do i access this boolen from another script

if(MobileCheckerey.GetComponent<MobileChecker>().MobileToggle(isMobile) == true)

this is the if statement im using

[quasi girder]

Pressing T update the variable ONLY for the one who pressed it

[half egret]

That's a function parameter, you can't access it from another script. It's relegated to the scope of that function and that function only.
You need a bool that's in scope of the class, e.g. "public bool isMobile" that you update when toggling mobile. You can retrieve that

[languid spire]

#archived-networking

[quasi girder]

thank you

[long jacinth]

ok but now how am i supposed to make my toggle ui make it go on and off

[half egret]

You just update the variable like `this.mobile = true/false" depending on whether it's being toggled on/off.

this.isMobile = isMobile might work for your use-case here

But you need to define the isMobile class variable

There is also redundant code there

You can just do MobileCanvas.gameObject.SetActive(isMobile)

[long jacinth]

oh

so i make a function inside the script with the bool? and then i make the toggle do that script?

[half egret]

It doesn't need to be a function, it's just a class variable

And in the function you have, you just toggle said variable.

[spark glacier]

I'm having an issue with jumping again. When I press jump the player just kinda teleports up in to the air instead of uhh jumping. I don't really know what to do so if anyone can help out it would be great.

[long jacinth]

it wokrs thanks

[wintry quarry]

Well that's exactly what your code is doing

A jump is not a single movement

You need to simulate vertical velocity over time

A jump is when you suddenly gain a bunch of positive vertical velocity, followed by many frames of the natural parabolic arc of gravity after that

Your code is simply doing one movement, as you described

[spark glacier]

Okay how do I make it a fluid movement then

[wintry quarry]

I said how

[spark glacier]

I know how to do it with a rigidbody but with a charactercontroller it's kinda difficult

Soo i should apply a smaller force each frame?

instead of one big one in one frame?

[wintry quarry]

How did you get that idea from what I wrote

You're missing even the baseline system that would enable anything like a "force" to be applied as far as I can tell from that code snippet

[wintry quarry]

This is the key

You need to keep track of your velocity and to do that you need a variable

Also you should only ever call Move one time per frame

[spark glacier]

So I should create a velocity variable and use that?

Or how do I simulate a vertical movement?

Im really new sorry if I sound kinda dumb

[wintry quarry]

If you're that clueless maybe you should try a tutorial or two and see how they do things

To get an idea

[spark glacier]

I did but most of them use a rigidbody and I don't really wan't to use a rb. I already know the basics like variables and operators and stuff like that I just don't know how to do stuff like this.

But i guess i'll watch some more

[wintry quarry]

Search for one that uses a character controller, there are many

[spark glacier]

Okay thanks

Hey there I'm back

So basically I got it to work that the folder is changeable, hooooowever the 3dprop deletion method (VtkToUnityPlugin.RemoveProp3D(_volumePropId);) is suddenly making Unity crash sooooooo, idk what I did wrong now 😕

https://paste.ofcode.org/JrVYW9cqLNKqWgQCNbZsgx
https://paste.ofcode.org/ti8e6VPT2D6NACzLHKbA5w

[deep yew]

Why does it say "type mismatch"?

[sick cloud]

Uhm I haven't done anything except trying the code without VtkToUnityPlugin.RemoveProp3D(_volumePropId); once again but now Unity also crashed so I guess it can't quite handle the plugin?

[modest dust]

Because you cannot reference scene objects in a prefab

Pass the reference to Player Goal when you Instantiate the prefab

[deep yew]

I don't understand, but I'll try to figure it out

ty

[sick cloud]

nvm Problem solved, I just used a Folder with 30 instead of 200 something dicom files and it worked

[modest dust]

Your Enemy is a prefab (a template to be copied and spawned in any scene) and your PlayerGoal is a GameObject present in the scene. You cannot reference anything from a scene in a prefab. What if you suddenly decided to spawn it in another scene that doesn't have that object?

[deep yew]

Ah, I get it.

[modest dust]

In your EnemyX script add a new method with a param to pass the Player Goal reference with

Instantiate returns the reference to the newly spawned instance of the prefab, so call the method on it

[deep yew]

Alright, now I know what to do.

Thanks man.

[north iron]

How should I store prefab for my entity, when I want to spawn it? Should it be in script of that entity, or should I store copy of that on the scene and use it to spawn

[cosmic dagger]

You can always test it out . . .

[wintry quarry]

Prefabs live in the project folder. If it's in the scene, it's not a prefab at all.

[summer stump]

Store the REFERENCE to the prefab in the script that will spawn it

[north iron]

        Name = "House";
        model = GameObject.CreatePrimitive(PrimitiveType.Cube);
        model.transform.localScale = new Vector3(Random.Range(3f, 7f), 5, Random.Range(3f, 5f));
        model.layer = LayerMask.NameToLayer("NonWalkable");
        model.AddComponent<MeshCollider>();
        model.transform.SetParent(transform, false);

so something like this is fine?

[wintry quarry]

why would you do this

just make a prefab

you're just ignoring what we said

[summer stump]

That is not a prefab at all.

[wintry quarry]

You should probably read through the prefabs section of the manual if you're confused about what a prefab is and how to use it @north iron

https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/CreatingPrefabs.html

[north iron]

[sick cloud]

damn dude

sorry for agitating you

[teal viper]

Just to clarify what you're looking for is a "file picker"

[sick cloud]

thx

[verbal dome]

Yeah, I've used it for example when setting a CapsuleCollider's offset relative to its direction. The index corresponds to https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/CapsuleCollider-direction.html

For example cs var center = new Vector3(); center[cap.direction] = 0.5f; cap.center = center;

[umbral rock]

so i have a code that lets a player move to the right in a 2d game if(GetKey(Keycode.D){ (rb.velocity = new vector2(speed, rb.velocity.y) but that only makes the character move to the right, how would i move him to the left also?

[cosmic dagger]

Wouldn't you do the same thing but for the left key?

[umbral rock]

no that makes me move to the right

[wintry quarry]

obviously change the direction

[raw token]

If positive speed moves you to the right...

[umbral rock]

i tried, -speed

[wintry quarry]

that will work

you have cross posted, stick to #💻┃unity-talk

[summer stump]

In the spot where interactable == null, set isInteracting to false.
Also, in the same spot, and the else where you turn the isInteracting bool to false, you likely need some StopInteracting method

[willow scroll]

The InteractWithClearCounter method is called in neither of these scripts

[wintry quarry]

whya re you using a static variable

time to learn - this isn't going to work well with a static variable

you already have cross script communication here

via the raycast

there's no need for static anything

[summer stump]

Any other normal way of referencing
https://unity.huh.how/references

But yeah, the raycast gives you a reference

[wintry quarry]

the counters should track their own state

when you interact, you can toggle the state

[willow scroll]

It's time to use them

[wintry quarry]

how many states are there

sounds like a bool to me

no?

you don't need to reference anything what do you mean

when Interact is called, you toggle the bool

and you toggle the visible thing

again this state needs to go on the COUNTER

not on the player

it makes no sense on the player

[summer stump]

I just gave you a link of a ton of different ways to reference btw. Static should not be your first, or third choice. It should be the back of the line, only in front of Find

[willow scroll]

Note that you should never make a variable static if it is different for every specific instance of your structure

For example, in your class Human, you should make neither name nor age static, as they, usually, differ for every instance of it

There are many variants for you, the ones I would take into a consideration are:

• 1. Manage things directly in your Player script
• 2. If there is a good reason to manage it in another class, it may invoke an event for your Player to catch

Honestly, there are really few reasons to make the logic associated with the Player in another classes. One of them would be if that's a Singleton class like a GameManager

If you don't want to have too much code in your single Player class. Ignore this desire

Make it partial and create several files, for example

[stark gyro]

Tilemap code: https://gdl.space/qowojuyewi.cs
Player code: https://gdl.space/bowibuquno.cs
Problem: Grid colors are not changing.

[willow scroll]

Are you also going to talk about your logs now? It doesn't seem like your z axis is quite right.

Usually, I would consider working with Vector2Int

Not sure why Unity has implemented neither implicit conventions nor overloads for Tilemap

[willow scroll]

Now send the tile's "before n after"

[stark gyro]

I'll record 1 sec

[willow scroll]

No need, you can also take a screenshot

[stark gyro]

Nothing changes

[willow scroll]

So, where is the changed tile?

[drowsy flare]

I have a script which I use from Unity, which contains:
public GameObject ShowPicture;

If I didn't link it to a game object in the gui, I get a UnassingedReferenceException.
Is there any way to check if it's assigned without throwing an error?

I tried the following but they throw the same exception:
if (ShowPicture is object)
if (ShowPicture is null)

I kinda wanna know if the variable is initiated? I think? 😄

[stark gyro]

Like I said, even log says it's changed but it never actually changes

[willow scroll]

• 1. The 1st variant always returns true, because everything is derived from object in C#
• 2. The 2nd variant should never be used in Unity and throws you a warning

[short hazel]

v != null to check if a variable has a value.

[willow scroll]

Instead, you should simply compare your GameObject to null:

if (ShowPicture == null) { }
if (ShowPicture.Equals(null)) { }

Unity also has an implicit bool operator, so you can remove == null and add a ! to revert the statement

public static implicit operator bool(Object exists)
{
    return !CompareBaseObjects(exists, null);
}

if (!ShowPicture) { }

Note that UnityEngine.Object's Equals method is safe and does check for this being null before comparing

[drowsy flare]

Mind: Blown

[willow scroll]

And prefer the last option, because it's the most readable, as for me

[willow scroll]

Shouldn't be too hard

You already use is, so it seems like you should also know about == and Equals

[drowsy flare]

I thought is was exactly the same as ==

[stark gyro]

wait
is != == ?

[drowsy flare]

That's what just blew my mind, it works well with == and !=

[willow scroll]

It's not, is checks for the types of the objects

[drowsy flare]

Damn, thanks a lot

[summer stump]

Unity overloaded the == operator

Ah, i see you are discussing something different

[willow scroll]

is returns true if both objects have the same type, for example, GameObject and GameObject

Alright, no

Ignore this, because I don't know what I'm talking about.
You should not use null with Unity objects

[slender nymph]

the is operator can also do a null check, but it is a pure null check and does not handle destroyed objects

[stark gyro]

I think tilemap manipulating could've been so much more easier

[drowsy flare]

My problem was that 'is' didn't handle uninitiated variables very well

[stark gyro]

It's been hours and I'm still trying to make a block turn yellow when it's the closest tile.

[slender nymph]

if they were serialized then they were unity's fake null, which is part of that "does not handle destroyed objects". do not use the is operator for null checks with any objects that derive from UnityEngine.Object

[drowsy flare]

I started writing a game the other day, and I'm sooo hooked right now 🙂

[drowsy flare]

[stark gyro]

Good luck sir!

[willow scroll]

What you also need is Alt + Enter if you're using Visual Studio

[summer stump]

Is this a code question?

[willow scroll]

Yes, it is

[summer stump]

Oh ok then

[stark gyro]

Tilemap code: https://gdl.space/qowojuyewi.cs
Player code: https://gdl.space/bowibuquno.cs
Problem: Grid colors are not changing.

[willow scroll]

I want you to send me the tile before and after the change

[drowsy flare]

Thanks, I can use all advice I can get 😉

[willow scroll]

Also change the color manually to the required one and send a screenshot

[stark gyro]

Color option is greyed out so I can't

[willow scroll]

This is a grid selection

Select the Tile

[stark gyro]

This changes colors as a whole

[willow scroll]

Select a tile

Not the tilemap

[stark gyro]

Oh in the assets folder

[willow scroll]

Yes, you even have a folder called "Tiles" there

[drowsy flare]

Oh, another thing I found kind of confusing. Do my 2D box colliders need a 2D rigidbody to detect collisions? Because it seems like I don't detect collissions when I remove the rigidbody, and I don't want it to have one. Or have I just been a noob with my scripts?

[stark gyro]

Yeah you need rigidbody

[willow scroll]

In the Start method, try changing the color of a random tile

[drowsy flare]

Thanks

[willow scroll]

It's impossible for Colliders to detect collisions without a Rigidbody on one of them

Note that a suitable Rigidbody should be used. 2D with 2D, 3D with 3D

Refer to this answer when dealing with collisions

[drowsy flare]

I just need it one of them? So it should be enough to have it on my "player" object, not the item I'm colliding with?

[stark gyro]

private void Start()
{
tilemap.SetColor(new Vector3Int(0,-4,0),Color.yellow);
}
Added this

Looks good?

[drowsy flare]

Are you saying that it should be enough to have a rigidbody on one of the objects colliding?

[slender nymph]

are you trying to drag a scene-object into a prefab?

[drowsy flare]

Thanks

[slender nymph]

you can't do that. you need to pass the player object to the instantiated object after you instantiate it because prefabs (and other assets) cannot reference in-scene objects
https://unity.huh.how/references/prefabs-referencing-components

and giving the asset a reference to the player prefab will not be useful

again, assets like prefabs cannot reference in-scene objects

[raw token]

I know virtually nothing about working with tilemaps, but looking around a bit out of curiosity, I'm finding a bunch of stuff about tiles seemingly being configured with TileFlags.LockColor by default which may prevent the behavior.

[drowsy flare]

I also wonder if I'm supposed to have an AudioSource component attached to all GameObjects playing sounds, or should I reference a single AudioSource?
Right now the only solution to play sounds that I found was to add an AudioSource on all my sound making little assets in the scene 🙂
Edit: Found a solution to use a "general" audiosource. I still kind of wonder about best practise ...

[willow scroll]

Yes

[willow scroll]

Isn't this another tile now?

Black is not affected by color change

[stark gyro]

I rewinded it to original, white

[willow scroll]

The link I've sent says it all, yes

Either of 2 GameObjects or both have a Rigidbody2D

[willow scroll]

What does it mean?

[drowsy flare]

Yes, it made it clear, thanks again

[stark gyro]

I didn't get this

[willow scroll]

The black color is not affected when changing the color of the entire image. It always stays black, (255, 255, 255) or (1, 1, 1)

[stark gyro]

This one(0,-4,0) was supposed to change to yellow because of Start()

[willow scroll]

And it has not changed?

[stark gyro]

No...

Debug.Log(tilemap.GetColor(new Vector3Int(0, -4, 0)));

I'm gonna add this now

hi guys, how to track the placement of items like in the game Rust?

[willow scroll]

The actual error is nowhere to be seen, correct the syntax

[stark gyro]

Saw this on reddit :
Make sure that your tile doesn’t have the “lock color” setting on it in your project. Once placed any call to SetColor will be ignored at runtime.

[willow scroll]

I can tell you that I'm not getting your issue

[sleek marten]

I click to world space and my character moves there. BUT if they clicked on UI they do not move (That's what SHOULD happen, and DOES while in Game mode)

when I'm in Simulator it does both at the same time. If I keep clicking on a UI after this it will ONLY interact with the UI. When I click on world space it still assumes I'm clicking on the UI for that one instance. If I click on world space a second time I can move again.

[ripe arch]

sorry, i mean to do it like this. im following a tutorial on scriptable object but mine gives an error

Hi, I'm developing a small game to practice Unity, but recently I've encountered an issue that I can't understand the origin of. As soon as my character moves, numerous stutters (FPS drops and the camera seems to shake) occur. This seems to happen randomly after several seconds, minutes, or right at the start of the game. I thought it was due to the way the camera and the player's Rigidbody interacted, but from what I can see, my scripts are correct (the camera is a child of the player, the player's Rigidbody is handled in FixedUpdate, and the camera in LateUpdate). Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this?

Try to view it under hierarchy, it's much more readable

If it's under editorloop then you'll have to profile again

[rocky canyon]

if its editor loop i'd build first and test

it could be just the editor

[eternal needle]

That frame doesnt even look to be an issue

[rocky canyon]

yea u missed the peak and clicked the trough

[bronze shale]

I'm curently playing around with Unity Course's game, and I want to add points system. My idea was to make invisible cube, and when player collides with it, it adds point. However it needs to colide with player, and If I do so, player hits this cube and loses. Any ideas how to make it better?

[summer stump]

Check what the player is colliding with, and DON'T make it lose unless it is a specific thing?
You of course need to share code for more specific answer

[bronze shale]

I mean, he just hits his head into this cube

[dire estuary]

on peak it's 12~15ms for EditorLoop and 3ms for other and 2~3ms not on peak

[raw token]

Maybe use a trigger collider? That won't invoke the player's OnCollisionEnter() callback, and he'll pass right through it

[dire estuary]

Yep, same problem on build, it's really weird. By the way, when I decrease the FixedUpdate time, my camera gets completely stuck in the axis I'm moving in

[summer stump]

Ok 🤷‍♂️

1. same as what I said before
2. use a trigger

[bronze shale]

   {
       if (collision.gameObject.CompareTag("Ground"))
       {
           isGrounded = true;
           dirtParticle.Play();
       } else if (collision.gameObject.CompareTag("Obstacle"))
       {
           gameOver = true;
           explosionParticle.Play();
           dirtParticle.Stop();
           playerAudio.PlayOneShot(crashSound, 1.0f);
           Debug.Log("Game Over");
           playerAnim.SetBool("Death_b", true);
           playerAnim.SetInteger("DeathType_int", 1);

       }

       if (collision.gameObject.CompareTag("Points") && !gameOver)
       {
           Debug.Log("YOU GAINED POINT");

       }
       
   }```

That's what I want to do, I want player to be able to pass this cube, but trigger CollisionEnter. I just don't know how

[summer stump]

Use a trigger

As we said twice

[rocky canyon]

def sounds like a physics/translation conflic

[summer stump]

OnTriggerEnter instead of OnCollisionEnter

[willow scroll]

OnCollisionEnter is only called on the Collider, which has isTrigger disabled.
If your player has isTrigger enabled, use OnTriggerEnter

[rocky canyon]

have u looked into cinemachine?

it may be helpful (as its already setup to work w/ cc's and/or rbs)

[bronze shale]

    {
        if (other.gameObject.CompareTag("Points") && !gameOver)
        {
            Debug.Log("YOU GAINED POINT");
        }
    }```

Something like that?

[rocky canyon]

but if u want to use custom stuff. may just need to tinker around w/ it and debug as u do

other.CompareTag() is sufficient

[willow scroll]

What is the value of your player's isTrigger?

[summer stump]

The cube needs to be isTrigger = true of course

[errant pilot]

Guys does onmousedown() need a rigidbody?

[willow scroll]

No

It only needs a Collider

[bronze shale]

Thank you, It works how it should now 🙂

[errant pilot]

well i have a collider on my object and it isnt working

[willow scroll]

Show the object

[errant pilot]

its a sprite with a collider and an onmousedown script

thats it

[willow scroll]

Would it be possible for me to observe it in a visual form?

[summer stump]

Do you have an eventsystem in the scene?

[rocky canyon]

^ you need this too

[errant pilot]

yes

[errant pilot]

like the object or its inspect window

[willow scroll]

Inspector

[rocky canyon]

you should be able to check the eventsystem during playmode and see exactly what ur mouse is interacting w/

[errant pilot]

this is it all

[willow scroll]

What's the layer?

[errant pilot]

default

[willow scroll]

Is OnMouseDown not called at all?

[rocky canyon]

debug it

[errant pilot]

No I used debugs, this is it

[errant pilot]

i did

[rocky canyon]

jsut checking

[willow scroll]

Where is the debug?

[errant pilot]

outside the method lmao

the showmodule one

[willow scroll]

Send it too

[errant pilot]

when i make the object trigger mid game it works once

[willow scroll]

Well, where is the debug?

[errant pilot]

i removed it it was in the onmousedown

[willow scroll]

You have just said it is inside of ShowModule

Put a print and see

[errant pilot]

i said outside it

[willow scroll]

You said "outside of OnMouseDown, inside of ShowModule"

[rich adder]

how would you even put debug.log outside a method 🤔

[errant pilot]

i meant outside the showmodule inside the onmousedown

[willow scroll]

Maybe, they have it inside of a constructor

[willow scroll]

So where is it inside of OnMouseDown

[summer stump]

Just put it back, show the debug, then show the console (without cropping it)

[errant pilot]

ill show you like this

this is what it was like

oh

it was the z coordinate

[pliant sleet]

Why does my text suddenly disappear when its size passes a number and how do I make it so it won't ?

[summer stump]

Overflow setting. It is getting too big for its container

[pliant sleet]

Thank you

[warm raptor]

Hello ! I tried to make a list where I can put Text mesh pro that are In my UI so I can easily access them, but I see nothing in the inspector

public List<TMP_Text> PseudoTeam1 = new List<TMP_Text>();

[rocky canyon]

any compile errors stopping the editor from redrawing?

    [SerializeField]
    private List<TMP_Text> pseudoTeam1 = new List<TMP_Text>();``` works too

[warm raptor]

oh yes i'm dumb I deleted a little semicolon by mistake 😅

[warm raptor]

Yes but I'm might acces it from an other script

[rocky canyon]

then use public

i was just showing that both methods work

[cosmic dagger]

Then use a get property to encapsulate it . . .

[rocky canyon]

or that ^

[warm raptor]

What's that ?

[rocky canyon]

    private int _score;

    public int Score
    {
        get { return _score; }     // public getter allows reading the value
        private set { _score = value; }  // private setter restricts modification to within the class
    }``` something like this, but thats as far as i can expand on it.. as i haven't gotten that far to use em yet

i intend to soon tho

[warm raptor]

oh ok, that sounds familiar but I'm not sure

[rocky canyon]

its good to encapsulate the thing, while exposing only the necessities

i typically just make stuff public 🫣 i need to stop lol

[warm raptor]

no no it's really intersting

[rocky canyon]

no, i mean i need to stop doing that.. its better to use getters and setters

[cosmic dagger]

Don't you dare . . . 🫵

[rocky canyon]

someone like random, can tell u more important stuff about it

[warm raptor]

but do I really need to do that in my case ?

[rocky canyon]

idk, ask random

if you only intend on reading it from other classes.. and can ensure u dont write over it.. then sure just use public

problem is when code starts to grow, or ur sharing it w/ other developers.. its easier to make stuff public and private / with setters and getters and stuff..

it'll stop accidents from happening

[mint remnant]

if unsure, make it all private until compiler complains about no access to a variable, turn it public at that point

[rocky canyon]

^ thats how i usually work

[warm raptor]

ok ! I'll try doing that

[rocky canyon]

but! imma start using properties asap

[queen adder]

How would I refrence a component from a prefab

[mint remnant]

naturally good up front design thought trumps that, but it's a fair fallback

[rocky canyon]

instantiate it first.. then get the component from it

Reference reference = Instantiate(prefab);
Whatever newWhatever = reference.GetComponent<Whatever>();

Instantiate returns the instance of the copy

[queen adder]

Okay thank you

[rocky canyon]

prefabs can't reference scene objects
and scene objects can't reference prefab internals

[cosmic dagger]

The same way you get a reference to a component from any other component or GameObject. First, make sure you have a reference to an instance of the prefab . . .

[rocky canyon]

unless u get into the nittygritty.. i think u can use Resource stuff to access it

[queen adder]

Yea i figured out that scene objects cant refrence prefabs im tryign to get the prefab to move towards a gameobject

[rocky canyon]

you could always use a public method inside the prefab to set things.. (like initialization method)

oh you spawned?
well, spawnedthingy.SetYourTarget(gameobject);

[rich adder]

😮 Score => _score

[rocky canyon]

😢 i told you im learning!

but rreally.. im soo far behind w/ properties

[rich adder]

they're too good!

hardly use public fields now

[rocky canyon]

the next time i come crawling for help, they'll be properties involved.. 😛

[bronze token]

using TMPro;

public class HUDManager : MonoBehaviour
{
    public TMP_Text scoreText; // Optional, if you are using a score system
    public TMP_Text coinsText;
    public TMP_Text worldText;
    public TMP_Text timeText;
    public TMP_Text livesText;

    public void UpdateScore(int score)
    {
        if (scoreText != null)
        {
            scoreText.text = "SCORE\n" + score.ToString();
        }
    }

    public void UpdateCoins(int coins)
    {
        if (coinsText != null)
        {
            coinsText.text = "COINS\n" + coins.ToString();
        }
    }

    public void UpdateWorld(string world)
    {
        if (worldText != null)
        {
            worldText.text = "WORLD\n" + world;
        }
    }

    public void UpdateTime(int time)
    {
        if (timeText != null)
        {
            timeText.text = "TIME\n" + time.ToString();
        }
    }

    public void UpdateLives(int lives)
    {
        if (livesText != null)
        {
            livesText.text = "LIVES\n" + lives.ToString();
        }
    }
}

This is the HUDmanager

This is the GameManager

[rich adder]

I'm guessing your GameManager has HUDManager missing that might also be part of the problem

according to the screenshot you sent anyway

[bronze token]

https://gdl.space/buhewizego.cs

[deft grail]

whats the problem

[bronze token]

i think we've added

[bronze token]

so, we want the scores, lives, time, etc to appear in the game as we play

[rich adder]

where is the one that updates the logs

[bronze token]

but for some reason we cant see

1 sec

[rich adder]

also whats happening here

[rich adder]

no i meant in code

[bronze token]

right so we cant see anything in the dropdown

[bronze token]

sorry? i dont understand

[rich adder]

this object is in the Dont Destroy On Load scene

you will lose and references you have to scene objects

since cross scene references dont work

[brisk thunder]

we kinda used ai a lot

[deft grail]

we can tell

[brisk thunder]

lol

[deft grail]

you used it for stuff you shouldnt really need to use it at all

[brisk thunder]

so what now

[rich adder]

did you review what I sent?

when you link them together, the other object starts as DDOL which is inside a completely different scene

[brisk thunder]

bro he didn't understand what you have written

[rich adder]

huh? idk what your issue was , was replying to someone else

[brisk thunder]

we are both working on the same thing

[rich adder]

Ohh..well you should've made that clear

or said something lol

[brisk thunder]

mb

[rich adder]

anyway not the complete problem but its part of the problem. You see the reference in the Game Manager goes Missing for UI ?

thats because one is inside DDOL scene and one is not, what you got going right now is cross-scene references which unity does not do (cannot reference components in another scene from one scene)

[rocky canyon]

you'll need to carry them over from one scene to another w/ the manager.. or re-reference the new ones on scene load

[rich adder]

Singleton is also an option

[pallid nymph]

well, to be fair, if you just moved something to the DDOL scene you'd be fine if you need it to reference the same object

[rich adder]

since these are managers

[pallid nymph]

it's not randomly going to get lost

[rocky canyon]

why not both?

[rich adder]

yes each has their pros and cons

[rocky canyon]

i DDOL my singletons all the time

[rich adder]

I dont use DDOL on all my singletons, so I reserve it for specific things

[pallid nymph]

DDOL is pretty much the worst, as it means you can't easily restart scenes anymore and you need to take extra care to handle each DDOL object... and 99% of the time people use them because it's the default singleton implementation and not because they need them
/rant 😅

[rocky canyon]

well actually tbf, i just additvely load my scenes.. Bootloader scene acts like a DDOL in its entirety

w/ all the stuff i need to follow the manager along the game flow

[rich adder]

yea thats also a good way to do it as well

[eternal needle]

Well that's a given, if you do something bad then itll be bad

[rocky canyon]

lol.. my DDOL is useless!

tf lmao

[rich adder]

carrying the whole squad

[rocky canyon]

ya, i think i meant to use this as a parent.. and just attach all the objects i need to DDOL at runtime

just never implemented it seems

sooo, theres 2 people here w/ the same problem/ same unity project?

or yall just having the same issue / different unity projcs

[brisk thunder]

so what we can do now as we are beginner
is there any voice channel i can join and share my screen

[rocky canyon]

you can record a video and post it up here

theres no VC's in this discord

[rich adder]

i think they're working on same project

[brisk thunder]

me and kenmaaa are working on the same project

[rocky canyon]

alright! just wanted to confirm.

good enough.

[silver girder]

tank yu

[rich adder]

next time though , use the Links like I said

[silver girder]

ok

[rich adder]

so did you debug the method to make sure it runs?

[brisk thunder]

so we dont know about DDOL in script

[rich adder]

then why are you using it?

don't use things you do not understand first

[grave frost]

well... have a surface level understanding at least

[rich adder]

have somewhat of an idea what its doing

[rocky canyon]

first off, are there any errors/warning in the console?

[silver girder]

UHM LEMME SEE

oop cpas

NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object
Shot.ShootBall () (at Assets/Scripts/Shot.cs:44)
Shot.Update () (at Assets/Scripts/Shot.cs:32)

[rich adder]

well there you go

[rocky canyon]

fix those errors and it should work..

[rich adder]

you cannot continue the rest of that code with NRE before
code runs top to bottom line by line, if line above fails. Rest wont continue

[rocky canyon]

did you assign

[silver girder]

yes

[grave frost]

is Rigidbody rb = soccerBall.GetComponent<Rigidbody>(); line 44?

[rocky canyon]

is there a rigidbody on it?

[silver girder]

waht

[rocky canyon]

LINE NUMBERS

[grave frost]

in your IDE, there should be code lines on the left side. What is on line 44?

[rocky canyon]

is line 44 that line

[silver girder]

really

[rich adder]

thats why I said use links..

we'd know the line by now

[rocky canyon]

the 44, and 32 are line numbers if u double click the error it should open the IDE to where the error is

my guess is ur rigidbody isn't on the soccerball

[rich adder]

I tried pasting in VSC but lines dont match

[grave frost]

that wouldn't give a null reference since they check for that

[silver girder]

it is

[rich adder]

for me 44 is

[rocky canyon]

ohh true.. i just seen the null check

[grave frost]

@silver girder we just waiting to see what's on line 44

[rocky canyon]

it has to be soccerball or RB

theres nothing else

[grave frost]

yea, depending on indentation and crap it could be slightly different. Likely the line or two under it or above it?

[rich adder]

maybe this error is old

line 44

[rich adder]

ok well either Camera doesnt have Main Camera tag or soccerBall is null

[grave frost]

or both lol

if soccer ball is destroyed, you'd get a null reference exception. You should look at the inspector in play mode when you get that error to see if it lost the reference. Also double check your camera has the main tag.

[rocky canyon]

this is ur answer..

[silver girder]

hey guys btw the code is ai generated

[mint remnant]

LOL

[rocky canyon]

don't tell us that

[silver girder]

ik only lua

no shite

thats a good way to get ignored

copying code you dont understand for us to fix is not a good look

esp when its crap ai stuff

I have nothing against AI generated code, what I have is against people thinking AI can generate code for you without knowing how to code. If you know lua, learning c# should not be out of your reach.

Is their a way to change the color of a material in a script ?
the players have markings around their arms and helmets and I'd like to be able to change the color of the markings according to their team. Is there a way to store the material in the player information and access it to change the color?
here's the class where I store the player's parameters

public class PlayerInfo
{
    public GameObject Player { get; set; }

    public int Health { get; set; }

    public int Kills { get; set; }

    public string PreviousTeamState { get; set; }

    public string Coordinates {  get; set; }

    public string PreviousLivingState { get; set; }

    public Animator PlayerAnimator { get; set; }
}

where I create my new players :

if(!Players.ContainsKey(newID))
            {
                var playerInfo = new PlayerInfo { Health = 100, Kills = 0, Coordinates = "0", PreviousLivingState = "1", PreviousTeamState = "1"};
                Players[newID] = playerInfo;
                player = Instantiate(PlayerPrefab, new Vector3(10, 10, 10), Quaternion.identity);
                player.name = newID;
                Players[newID].Player = player;
                Players[newID].PlayerAnimator = player.transform.GetChild(0).GetComponent<Animator>();
                Players[newID].PlayerAnimator.enabled = true;
            }

lol, we're not bothered.. we're just trying to help you out..

[silver girder]

ik thank y'all

[rich adder]

is the original white?

otherwise you're just tinting green one and wont look good

[grave frost]

Are those markings on a separate material? You should be able to use material.SetColor("_Color", color); (or maybe _BaseColor? Always forget which one goes where) with a reference to it's material. Just get a reference to its material from the mesh.

[rocky canyon]

white materials w/ tinting is the way to go

[warm raptor]

ok

[rocky canyon]

keeps u from having to have multiple colors for no reason

[warm raptor]

yes because I don't bake any map for the base color

[rocky canyon]

when white works for every color

[rich adder]

you probably want to change the sharedMaterial

but should still have 2 materials TeamA/TeamB or whatever

when you modify material runtime it creates a new one

[rocky canyon]

^ ohh facts

[rich adder]

so you will have a lot of materials garbage

[rocky canyon]

ya, jsut make 2 now that i think about it.. dont wanna be copying em like nav mentioned

[grave frost]

You'd still probably want to make them white and set their color using the method I stated, just get the sharedMaterial reference insteead.

[rocky canyon]

you can change out the sharedMaterials by index i think if there's multiples

[warm raptor]

ok, but how can I dicide which one to apply to the mesh (because usually I just drag and drop the material to the mesh 😅 )

[rocky canyon]

look in the Materials drop down

[rich adder]

two white materials is fine to change colors runtime, jsut make sure it gets assigned to correct team member

enum maybe ? idk how you distinguish teams

have the two fields Material TeamA/TeamB

[rocky canyon]

not sure if u have multiple materials on the mesh

but if u do.. u can find w/ one corresponds w/ the headband or w/e

[rich adder]

oh right if it has multiple material you need the index:P

[rocky canyon]

materials[materialIndex] = newMaterial;

[rich adder]

in that case use the https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Renderer-sharedMaterials.html
sharedMaterials to assign that specific one

[rocky canyon]

if thers just 1 material its ez pz

[warm raptor]

yes I have, but I don't understand what i've done with my player 😅

[rocky canyon]

🫣 lol

[warm raptor]

I don't have a mesh renderer for the whole charater ...

[grave frost]

I think they'd want sharedMaterials[index] like you said. Probably best to have two prefabs, one for team A and one for team B.

[rich adder]

the mesh renderer is there in the child

[frosty hound]

It'll be a child object

[rich adder]

you can type t:MeshRenderer in hierarchy

[rocky canyon]

yup, this would be the way to do it w/o creating new instances correct?

[warm raptor]

I know but I have like 5-10 different mesh renderer

[grave frost]

yea I believe so. It might create one new instance for the shared material, but that's unavoidable I think

[rich adder]

find which ones are the bandana ones and reference those in an array

[warm raptor]

I don't even rename my bones ... 🫠

[rocky canyon]

yup, if he uses sharedMaterials.. its best to have 2 prefabs..so its not changing both teams

[grave frost]

firstly, do you have one material on different objects, or a material array in your inspector like @rocky canyon showed? You can have multiple objects under your prefab each with a renderer and one material, or you can have all the materials on the root mesh if it's set up correctly.

[rich adder]

you should just be able to click the bandanas and see which gameobject / mesh renderer comes up 🤷‍♂️

[warm raptor]

ok I found them

[grave frost]

what's the inspector look like with just one selected?

[rocky canyon]

ohh, they're seperate pieces.. = 1 material

[warm raptor]

I have a separate material for the markings

[grave frost]

yea, but you can have multiple materials on a single mesh

[warm raptor]

like that ?

[warm raptor]

yes

[rocky canyon]

1 material

[rich adder]

materials is collapsed

[rocky canyon]

but the index is 1

[grave frost]

i think you mean length lol

[rocky canyon]

indexLength!

tomato tomato

[rich adder]

not a code question, this is a code channel

#💻┃unity-talk

[rigid ridge]

Ok sorry

[rich adder]

also you should really look into software like OBS or ShareX

[rigid ridge]

I have obs i was just lazy to start it up lol

[grave frost]

ok one material. Reference those meshes in your script and set the color on their shared materials, something like this should get you started:

public MeshRenderer meshColor1;
public MeshRenderer meshColor2

public Color color1;
public Color color2;

private Material matColor1;
private Material matColor2;

void Awake()
{
  matColor1 = meshColor1.sharedMaterial;
  matColor2 = meshColor2.sharedMaterial;

  // if it doesn't work, try "_BaseColor" instead. Not sure which is which tbh.
  matColor1.SetColor("_Color", color1);
  matColor2.SetColor("_Color", color2);
}

*disclaimer, I wrote this in discord just now and it's untested

[rich adder]

phone recording are cringey lol

[rigid ridge]

😔

[rocky canyon]

ShareX ☑️ one vote for ShareX

[rich adder]

sounds like a stock

[raw token]

Wasn't that Sam Bankman Fried's thing 😂

(I love sharex)

[warm raptor]

and if on my helmet I have like 5 different materials 😅 ?

[rocky canyon]

why wouldn't he just set the base color on those materials.. and get rid of 2 extra lines of code?

teamAMaterial;
teamBMaterial;

[grave frost]

on your helmet it looks like the green is the first one. Just replace one of the lines like this:

matColor2 = meshColor2.sharedMaterials[0];

remember, the index (in this case 0) would be the position of the material - 1. So if it's the first material, it's 1 - 1 = 0. If it's the second, 2 - 1 = 1, etc. Double check what position it's in under the mesh renderer > materials.

[rocky canyon]

unless he wants the player to chose a color..

like dynamically

that'd be cool

[rich adder]

you probably want the other way around

[rocky canyon]

yup its just [0] <-- first material

[grave frost]

why? Are the materials shown in reverse order in the inspector like that?

[rich adder]

wouldn't you want to assign a new material to the renderer ?

[rocky canyon]

no, u were setting the matCOlor to the sharedMaterial.. not the sharedMateiral to the mat color

[rich adder]

instead of copying the mateiral

[grave frost]

you aren't copying the material like this, you're getting a reference to the shared material and changing it.

[rich adder]

yeah but materials modifying at runtime makes a new copy no?

[rocky canyon]

am i high?

[warm raptor]

I think I have understand how your code works but I don't know how to apply it to my script because I have multiple instance of my player that aren't in the same team 😅

[grave frost]

maybe, but this will only do it once if it does.

[rich adder]

they are reference types, if you change one at later point it will change original too but these are new instances of materials so new one gets made

[grave frost]

You'll need to make a seperate prefab for each team, or make a seperate material and just apply that material.

[rich adder]

or make an enum

[rocky canyon]

you'll just need a reference to each player

[rich adder]

but yeah two prefabs will be easier

[rocky canyon]

and since we're talkin about sharedMaterials.. we'd basically need 2 prefabs

[grave frost]

a new instance gets made when you access renderer.material. According to the docs, renderer.material copies the material. It says nothing of renderer.sharedMaterial doing this.

[rich adder]

ill take your word on it here, I havent messed with materials runtime too much

[grave frost]

Maybe modifying renderer.sharedMaterial creates a new instance, but it's only one new instance and not a new instance for each mesh.

[rich adder]

I generally swap out materials instead of changing them

[warm raptor]

I don't understand why you are now talking of having 2 prefab 😭

[rich adder]

idk docs even says

It is not recommended to modify materials returned by sharedMaterial. If you want to modify the material of a renderer use material instead.
https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Renderer-sharedMaterial.html

[raw token]

Altering a sharedMaterial will change it for all shaders which use it which do not have their own unique instance. You can also use sharedMaterials for equality checks with material fields :)

[rich adder]

shits kinda confusing ngl

[rocky canyon]

b/c if u change the the sharedMaterial it'll change both teams

[rocky canyon]

or wait.. im confused too

[grave frost]

yea probably to deter people from accidentally modifying their shared materials at runtime, which is not something you usually want to do. It's fine in this case.

[rocky canyon]

im taking a knee

[rich adder]

make a red and blue material or whatever and just swap it. Screw setting this color shit at runtime lmao

call it a day

[rocky canyon]

my original concensus as well..

[ember gate]

hey when creating the jump what aspects should I consider
like what really makes the character jump

[rocky canyon]

Y velocity

[warm raptor]

yes I think making 2 material is a good solution, so now I need to fing a way to acces to the part of the mesh that has the markings

[rocky canyon]

could tag em "Markings"

find meshrenderers w/ that tag after u instantiate it

[grave frost]

Basically you have a fewe options:

• 1: Use two prefabs, each with a different white material, then set their colors at runtime using the method I showed you. This method allows some customization later on, like changing of the enemy team or friendly team color by the user.

• 2: Use two prefabs, each with a different material with a preset color. Reduces code needed, but no customization options.

• 3: use renderer.material instead of renderer.sharedMaterial and then doing the same thing I showed earlier. This will create more material garbage, but probably not worth worrying about unless it really causes you issues.

[warm raptor]

oh yeah that seam to be a good Idea

[rocky canyon]

its primitive but it'd work ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[grave frost]

or... just reference them in a script

I like to avoid tags unless they're absolutely needed, since a game object can only have one tag.

[ember gate]

does anyone know this?

[rocky canyon]

most of us.

[rich adder]

#💻┃code-beginner message

[ember gate]

oh u answered it

[rocky canyon]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c9kxUvCKhwQ

watch this @ember gate ^

[ember gate]

ight thanks

[rocky canyon]

its basically the same whether u use 2D or 3D

[warm raptor]

if I reference it at the beginning of my script, will I be able to access it from each of my player instances?

[rocky canyon]

theres a few issue's you'll normally run into

• ground check
• cancelling out built up gravity
• input detection
• etc

but you'll figure that stuff out as u work on it

[grave frost]

first, what method of the 3 I posted do you want to go with?

[rocky canyon]

gotta say, u went above and beyond w/ 3 different methods 😉

[warm raptor]

swap between 2 material ?

because If I refer the specific part like that :

public MeshRenderer meshColor1;

and that I acces my player by doing

Players[ID].Player

can I do something like

Players[ID].Player.meshColor1

?

[rocky canyon]

how is ur game setup? do you spawn in the player at runtime?

or are they already in the scene

[warm raptor]

I spawn them when the client detect that the serveur has send a message with a new player ID

[rich adder]

this should be in #archived-networking def not #💻┃code-beginner

[ember gate]

one question do you use transform and vectors only when creating own physics or you can use them when using unitys physics system too

[warm raptor]

no it's not a probleme with networking

[rocky canyon]

when he said [ID] i just knew it was networked

ya, but the way u handle spawning a player on a singleplayer game.. and how u handle spawning a player in multiplayer is different..
theres a bit more to think about

[grave frost]

Ok, so this might not be as efficient as possible or whatever, but we're in #💻┃code-beginner and imo the most important thing is doing not worrying about performance or scaling unless you really need to.

So I'd go with a two-script setup. On the object you actually instantiate, in the prefab, go with something like this:

public class MaterialChanger : MonoBehaviour {

// assign these in the inspector on the prefab
public MeshRenderer meshColor1;
public MeshRenderer meshColor2;

public void SetMaterial(Material mat)
{
  meshColor1.material = mat;
  meshColor2.materials[0] = mat;
}
}

Then when you instantiate your players...

void SomeMethodYouUseToInstantiatePlayers()
{
// instantiating players here
instantiatedPlayer.GetComponent<MaterialChanger>().SetMaterial(GetMaterialForTeam());
}

public Material GetMaterialForTeam()
{
 Material mat = null; // somehow determine material needed here and assign it to that, NOT null.
  return mat;
}

*disclaimer, this was written in discord and untested lol

[rocky canyon]

but i suppose if u have different IDs and different instances of the player.. its pretty similar

[warm raptor]

it's not linked to networking, I can detect when a player changes team and assign him to his new team, I just need to change the color of his markings.

[rocky canyon]

if u have a material changer on the player.. u can use this method here
it'd be easy enough.. it can reference the parts it needs (within itself)..

[rich adder]

I mean if you can't change this stuff by yourself , i would advise against multiplayer 🤷‍♂️ but its your project

[rocky canyon]

and u can just call the method when its time to set em up

[warm raptor]

the sad part is that the problem isn't directly linked to the server or the client

[rocky canyon]

fiddling w/ materials is always a bit profound at first..

once u realize how they work.. and whats involved in changing them around @ runtime and whatnot.. it becomes much easier

(muscle memory) + ofc supplemented w/ trial and error

[warm raptor]

ok but I want to change the team color midgame when the player has already spawn 😅

[grave frost]

then just do the same thing but not in the player spawn method

[warm raptor]

oh yes I'm so dumb (maybe because it's 1 am in my contry 😅 )

[grave frost]

I've had similar moments lol. Unless this is a game jam or you're crunching for a deadline, I'd write down where you left off and go to sleep, continue tomorrow when you're rested.

[warm raptor]

yes, but I feel that it's only so late that I can find so much help (and thanks again for all your help).

[warm raptor]

in your script instead of using

instantiatedPlayer.GetComponent<MaterialChanger>().SetMaterial(GetMaterialForTeam());

public Material GetMaterialForTeam()
{
 Material mat = null; // somehow determine material needed here and assign it to that, NOT null.
  return mat;
}

can't I just use ?

public Material RedTeam;

instantiatedPlayer.GetComponent<MaterialChanger>().SetMaterial(RedTeam);

[grave frost]

yes. I just had no idea how you do your teams, so using a method was the easiest catch-all I could think of.

with instantiatedPlayer set to your actual instantiated player reference of course.

[warm raptor]

oh ok 😁

[warm raptor]

yes of course but like I want this to happend midgame can I do

Players[ID].Player.GetComponent<MaterialChanger>().SetMaterial(RedTeam);

(Players[ID] is the current player and Player is the gameobject)

[grave frost]

yea you can do that, as long as MaterialChanger is on the same object that Player is on.

[warm raptor]

I must be dumb, but why I can't drag the armband but I can drag the helmet ???

[grave frost]

the armband is a SkinnedMeshRenderer, sorry.

you could chang the references to "Renderer", that should allow both in either

[warm raptor]

oh ok thx !

[warm raptor]

I just noticed that I forgot to make the player tell the server that he wants to change team. 😅

[grave frost]

that's probably important yes

[warm raptor]

IT FUCKING WORKED ! (well almost, because the helmet doesn't change color)

[royal river]

can anyone help me make my gorilla tag fan game in unity

[grave frost]

on your helmet can you expand the mesh renderer and materials list to see which index the green material is in?

[deft grail]

help with what, we wont make the whole game for you

we can help with certain elements and tell you how you could achieve them

[royal river]

ik but i need it for beta testing

but i dont have unity how do i make it

[deft grail]

you download unity, make a new project, and start creating?

[royal river]

i cant my laptop isnt powerful enough

[warm raptor]

I Just check and I it's not the material 0 but the 3 I change and It still doesn't work 😅

[deft grail]

then what do you want us to do 🤔
what is your actual question i dont understand

[grave frost]

like you did [3]?

[royal river]

i need someone to make a project for me and send me an apk file of it so i can test it

[cosmic dagger]

materials pissing me off right now: TMP doesn't want to display the correct material on my damage text . . . 😮‍💨

[deft grail]

make an apk of what, no one is gonna remake an entire game for you?

[grave frost]

bro what 💀

[warm raptor]

yes

[grave frost]

can you look at one in the inspector after its instantiated?

[cosmic dagger]

wrong server. look elsewhere for free work . . .

[deft grail]

well dont look anywhere, no one's gonna do that 🤣

for free

[royal river]

do you have any recommendations

[deft grail]

pay someone on some platform 🤷‍♂️
wont be cheap

or get a more powerful computer

[royal river]

ITS NOT THAT EASY

[cosmic dagger]

find a unity/game server that has paid or freelance work channels . . .

[deft grail]

or use something like Godot instead, sure you can handle that, though a game like that idk if would be possible

[warm raptor]

that when he is instanciated

[grave frost]

it's still green?

[warm raptor]

yes

[grave frost]

oh, you need to store it as a temporary reference to modify it apparently

so Material[] mats = meshColor2.materials
then use mats on the next line

public void SetMaterial(Material mat)
{
  meshColor1.material = mat;
  Material mats = meshColor2.materials;
  //mats.materials[0] = mat;
  mats[0] = mat;
}

[warm raptor]

it's not working I got those 2 issues :

Assets\_Script\Multiplayer\MaterialChanger.cs(13,25): error CS0029: Cannot implicitly convert type 'UnityEngine.Material[]' to 'UnityEngine.Material'

and

Assets\_Script\Multiplayer\MaterialChanger.cs(14,14): error CS1061: 'Material' does not contain a definition for 'materials' and no accessible extension method 'materials' accepting a first argument of type 'Material' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

[grave frost]

i think you forgot an s after meshColor2

and you are not doing .materials on the right thing, you want to do it on the mesh

it thinks you're doing something like material.materials

you need something like mesh.materials

[warm raptor]

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

public class MaterialChanger : MonoBehaviour
{
    public Renderer meshColor1;
    public Renderer meshColor2;

    public void SetMaterial(Material mat)
    {
        meshColor1.material = mat;
        Material mats = meshColor2.materials;
        mats.materials[0] = mat;
    }

}

[grave frost]

oh im stupid sorry LMAO

mats[0] = mat

[warm raptor]

why ?

[grave frost]

yea, consequence of me writing these in discord and not an IDE

[warm raptor]

yes not the best 😆

[warm raptor]

I'd love to say that the 2 error are gone, but their not 😅

Assets\_Script\Multiplayer\MaterialChanger.cs(13,25): error CS0029: Cannot implicitly convert type 'UnityEngine.Material[]' to 'UnityEngine.Material'

Assets\_Script\Multiplayer\MaterialChanger.cs(14,9): error CS0021: Cannot apply indexing with [] to an expression of type 'Material'

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

public class MaterialChanger : MonoBehaviour
{
    public Renderer meshColor1;
    public Renderer meshColor2;

    public void SetMaterial(Material mat)
    {
        meshColor1.material = mat;
        Material mats = meshColor2.materials;
        mats[0] = mat;
    }

}

[deft grail]

its a simple error

your trying to convert an array to not an array

then trying to use the non array LIKE an array with [0]

Material mats should probably be Material[] mats

hence the s in the name, its multiple materials not a single material

[warm raptor]

Oh thx I found a solution !

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

public class MaterialChanger : MonoBehaviour
{
    public Renderer meshColor1;
    public Renderer meshColor2;

    public void SetMaterial(Material mat)
    {

        meshColor1.material = mat;
        Material[] materials = meshColor2.materials;

        if (materials.Length > 0)
        {
            materials[3] = mat;
            meshColor2.materials = materials;
        }
    }
}

[grave frost]

btw maybe rename meshColor1 and meshColor2 to

public Renderer armband;
public Renderer helmet;

That way you know which one is having the special operation performed on it

[warm raptor]

yes, would be easier for later

[warm raptor]

Thank you so much for your time and your help (now I promise I'm going to bed it's almost 2 am ...)

[grave frost]

lol no worries, I'm at work and it's kinda slow today

[ember gate]

does anyone know a video or like something that can teach me about basic physics and maths in game development because even seeing this jump tutorial makes me insane cause I do not understand any of the physics stuff

[grave frost]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fjOdtSu4Lm4

This may be a good start, although i haven't watched the entire series myself Freya Holmer is like a pro lol

[ember gate]

thanks

[rotund hull]

how can i set the z rotation of a 2d object to be a RaycastHit2D.normal?

[ember gate]

damn so long

ill watch it tomorrow

now its too late for my brain but thanks a lot

[grave frost]

you can try

transform.forward = RaycastHit2D.normal

or

transform.right = RaycastHit2D.normal

[rotund hull]

alright i will try that

[grave frost]

thats just the first episode too... i mean they have entire math courses at universities and math degrees can take like 6 years so... buckle in lol, it's worth it to watch all the episodes. I have a friend that did and he said it was worth it. I only watched her matrix math one.

[warm raptor]

I know I shouldn't have change their name ... It's broken again 😂

[grave frost]

when you change the name you have to re-assign it in the inspector. Also make sure to change their name everywhere in your scripts.

[warm raptor]

Oh I didn't I have to re-assign it, thx !

[eternal needle]

There is the formly serialized attribute

[eternal needle]

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Serialization.FormerlySerializedAsAttribute.html

[grave frost]

yea but then you end up with [FormerlySerializedAs(...)][FormerlySerializedAs(...)][FormerlySerializedAs(...)]... if you rename things as often as me lol

[deft grail]

you really shouldn't be making a multiplayer game
and if you have to or want to or something then you should really focus on actually learning what your doing

[eternal needle]

You could also try learning vector math without the game dev part. At least from what I've seen, math "in game dev" tutorials are filled with a bunch of fluff or are just a lot longer for no reason.
Vector math is very simple, tons of resources out there. When you apply it to game dev, unity has built in functions for a lot of the actual tricky stuff

[green owl]

Does anyone know how to change this with C#

[eternal needle]

Not if you just remove the attribute after letting unity recompile. You dont need to keep these unless I guess this is some plugin for others

[raw token]

Define "this"

[green owl]

Itensity multiplayer

The thing on zoomed image

[warm raptor]

I know, everyone is telling me that this is a bad idea because i'm not only making a multi player, I'm making everything from scratch by using a web socket and a linux VPS 😂, but I think i'm still doing a great job !

[raw token]

says RenderSettings.ambientIntensity 👀

[green owl]

Yea I know I tried that

fuck. I realiesd now why it was giving me an erro

Traditional vscode adding using.UnityEngine something and it didnt recognize from what I wanted it to be used

[grave frost]

you do need to keep those, since it doesn't re-serialize the value in the file

well in my experience you do, but my experience was twice and I stopped using it because of that

[eternal needle]

im not sure of the exact specifics to it, but ive most definitely deleted all of them in my project and had no issues

[copper orbit]

is rigidbody conflicting with navmesh pretty common? My objects are jittering pretty badly. Is disabling and enabling NavMesh/Rigidbody when the other is needed, the common fix?

[tawdry ember]

Can someone tell me how to detect if 2 different things are true to make something else happen?

Im trying to detect if the player is on the ground and if i hit space to make the character jump but it dont work the way i want it to

[dense pike]

@tawdry ember yoo

[grave frost]

Same here, but sometimes it fucks it up 🤷🏻‍♂️ so i just avoid it

[cosmic dagger]

Do you know how to check if a variable or value is true?

[meager gust]

navmesh / pathfinding will override the object's transform. this will certainly break the physics aspect of your rigidbody.

you'll need a custom solution that involves getting the path array and manually steer the rigidbody towards each point using addforce or velocity

its not as hard as it sounds

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/AI.NavMeshPath-corners.html

[meager gust]

and let me guess... json for data serialization?
you'll soon realize why this is a bad idea when the game is unbearably laggy past 10 players 🙂

[crisp token]

will this line reset the enum stored in allMovementStates[i] to its default value?

I cant test it rn

[teal viper]

You could just cast a 0 to the enum type instead of all of that.

[slender nymph]

and if the type of allMovementStates is already known then assign whatever its default value is without a cast

there's also the default keyword you can use

[ancient rampart]

when using unity web request (in this case with standalone file browser) is there a way to return the local path rather than the uri?

[grave frost]

Usually when using web request to load a local file you have to do it that way, unless I'm mistaken? So what would be the point in doing that?

[ancient rampart]

just trying to log the path for another function to read the contents of the file, might just do it all when you open the file tho to avoid having to get the local path

[grave frost]

ok. Well i guess I'm a bit confused as to why you're using a uri to open a file then wanting to open the file with its local path, but you could try using the System.Uri class like so:

var uri = new System.Uri(uriString);
string filePath = uri.LocalPath

but on platforms where you have to use a URI to open files this would break when trying to load using the filePath.

[ancient rampart]

Oh, because the user picks the path with standalone file browser, so it grabs the uri from that

And gotcha

[grave frost]

actually there's a simpler way I think

[ancient rampart]

I’ll probably just make it parse all the data when it gets the path

[grave frost]

UnityWebRequest.uri.LocalPath should work, I think UnityWebRequest.uri returns a System.Uri object.

[ancient rampart]

Gotcha, I’ll give it a shot, thank you

[crisp token]

there are different enum types if that matters

[crisp token]

could you show an example sorry

[summer stump]

(MyEnum) 0

[slender nymph]

well then just use default unless you're in an older version of unity where you have to specify the type for it

[crisp token]

i tried using default but ig i was messing it up

like default(movementState.GetType())

[slender nymph]

no it's literally just the word default

[crisp token]

defaullt(enum)?

[slender nymph]

no literally just the word default

i don't know how much clearer i can be about that

[crisp token]

i dont get how that would work

enum.default?

[slender nymph]

default

[crisp token]

just in a line?

allMovementStates[i] = default

cant rn playing mc lol

[slender nymph]

then try it when you're done

[crisp token]

alright bro ty

Is a Class a kind of Type

[languid spire]

yes a class is a Type

[crisp token]

why does C# have GetType() instead of GetClass()?

[languid spire]

because everything has a Type not just classes

[crisp token]

so Type includes Classes and Values?

[languid spire]

EVERYTHING

[crisp token]

🤯

[summer stump]

public [type] myVariable

Think about all the different things you put in that spot where I wrote type.

[crisp token]

I can think of Class names and value types, and things like structs or enums which are kind of value types I think (idk)

[languid spire]

you can think of Type as the glue that holds C# together

Hey does anyone know how to add a jump buffer with the input system? (not the input manager)

i did this but it doesn't work

[languid spire]

should that not be
jumpBufferCounter -= jumpBufferTime;
Also please do not post screenshots of code unless specifically asked to

[tiny plaza]

i'm sorry

[mint remnant]

looks like same code as yesterday where someone mentioned comparing a float to 0f was very unlikely

[tiny plaza]

and this is when jump is pressed so it needs to start right?

[tiny plaza]

this is not speed this is direction so it's either -1, 0 or 1

[languid spire]

presumable you already have the counter and time values set up so you need to decrement for it to have an effect.

[languid spire]

in that case make it an int not a float

[tiny plaza]

ohhh I completly forgot it even existed thank you

[mint remnant]

the thing with floats is it might display as 0.0, but internally and for comparisons it might be 0.000000000001

[tiny plaza]

and do i need to add "f" to intergers?

[languid spire]

no

f means float

[tiny plaza]

wait it's not working

[mint remnant]

which weirdly enough is an alias back to a struct named Single

[tiny plaza]

because "moveDirection = context.ReadValue<Vector2>().x;" so it need's a float

what do i do about that

[languid spire]

history, back in the bad old days Floats were called Singles and still are in C

allMovementStates contains different kinds of enums. ChatGPT tells me that even though Enum.parse() returns an object, when I replace an element of allMovementStates with it, it will be of the same enum type specified by allMovementStates[i].GetType(). Could someone explain if / why this is true?

[languid spire]

cast to int

[mint remnant]

it's fine being a float, just that you should never compare a float to 0.0, instead cover the other ends and use an else for the remainder

[tiny plaza]

what is cast?

[languid spire]

moveDirection = (int)context.ReadValue<Vector2>().x;
the (int) is the cast to int. It means convert to

you really did skip learning the basics of C#

Hey guys, I've got some doubts to ask.
I'm currently working on a car controller using hooke's law. I've got it all working well and good and i decided to add steering but the issue is that i have no idea on how to add steering using hooke's law, I've done it using wheel colliders but i'm not using them

[tiny plaza]

well that's what i did yesterday but for some reason it thinks that the second "if" is also a else

[elder mesa]

this is what it looks like

[willow scroll]

In Unity, consider rounding floats to int instead of parsing them to avoid unexpected results

[elder mesa]

i just like need a basic idea and ill build on to that, anything i try is either not working or not realistic

[tiny plaza]

i didn't think it was necessary at first but now i'm suffering because of that

[languid spire]

there is #⚛️┃physics for questions like this

[elder mesa]

oh my bad, sorry

[languid spire]

well go back and do it NOW

[tiny plaza]

what is parsing (sorry french is my main language)

[willow scroll]

Parsing means converting one type to another

For example, parsing 10.3 should usually give 10

[crisp token]

can someone explain why this line keeps the original Enum type stored in the list despite Enum.parse() returning an object?

[tiny plaza]

can you give me a youtube channel/video that is good for that?

[languid spire]

no. use https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/learn/csharp

[willow scroll]

Please, don't reffer to people directly like that

[elder mesa]

alright cool

my bad

[willow scroll]

If they help someone, this doesn't mean they should help everyone.

[elder mesa]

sorry

sorry steve

[tiny plaza]

does rounding have a specific name in c#?

[mint remnant]

yes it's called rounding

[willow scroll]

Not sure what that means

[willow scroll]

Yes, rounding

[crisp token]

allMovementStates is a List<object>, it contains a bunch of different kinds of enums. Enum.parse technically returns an object, but when I assign it to the element in the list, it keeps the enum type. This is good, i just dont get how it works

[cedar bone]

whats a site, I can use to uploud videos to send here?

[crisp token]

any mp4 converter

[cedar bone]

i dont have nitro

if i go over by 5 seconds, i cna't send

[crisp token]

r u sure, I feel like i have in the past

[mint remnant]

imgur perhaps?

[willow scroll]

enum is an object, so it does save its value

Explicitly converting it to your enum will result in a proper enum value gotten

[willow scroll]

You can

[cedar bone]

I tried, I can't

[willow scroll]

Discord supports video upload up to 8MB without Nitro, and 50MB with
