In what way would a queue make sense for standard pooling

[tardy needle]

For a system that bullets will be fired continuously it makes sense a queue should be better but I found in a forum discussion that u shoudln't use them (don't know why), makes sense since the queue are better at removing and adding elements at the head and tail of the queue. When using a list I've made it so it iterates all the list and return the first "desactivated" object, this means that it could iterate through all the bullets that are active and return the first one desactivated, on the other side the queue would just return the first object.

Don't know unity has an object pool. I've made one following a tutorial https://learn.unity.com/tutorial/introduction-to-object-pooling#

[summer stump]

I don't see how a queue would "be better" for that at all

Arrays would be best imo.
Other than ObjectPool

[tardy needle]

It would just return the head of the queue instead of iterating

[summer stump]

Sure, that does not make it better

An array is incredibly performant

[tardy needle]

Why?

[summer stump]

Why would it?

[tardy needle]

Its returning the reference of the first object

Isnt that O(1)?

[summer stump]

Yes

[tardy needle]

It is very cost efficient?

[summer stump]

So is returning from an array

[tardy needle]

But the problem is finding that object

In a queue u dont need to find because its the first one

It may depend on the situation.

The one i described is re-using bullets

[summer stump]

That is the one I was describing too
Since it is of course what you mentioned

[tardy needle]

Then a queue/stack sounds like what will work best?

[summer stump]

It would be ok sure
I wouldn't say best, no

[tardy needle]

Then why can an array be better

I was using a list that had 100 bullets but I figured out that when obtaining the bullet it iterated through the list untill it found a desactivated bullet. That "untill" doesn't happen in a queue, how come it isnt better?

[summer stump]

Wait... you are keeping both active and deactive objects in the same collection?!?
That is not good for queues, lists, or anything

[tardy needle]

No, thats not the idea

Well I am doing it in the list

[summer stump]

Then what do you mean iterate until you find the deactivated object?

There is no iterating necessary

[tardy needle]

That might be better

Having a list of only desactivated objects

Althrough in the unity tutorial it seems it has both, activated and desactivated objects

[summer stump]

My suggestion was the ObjectPool collection btw.

But yeah, classic object pooling is two collections

[tardy needle]

So 2 collections for activated/desactivated each?

[summer stump]

1 for each

Or potentially one for ONLY deactivated I have seen

[tardy needle]

Yea thats what i've described before, a queue that only contains desactivated ones

And those are better than lists since modifying lists costs more

Same starting point

[mint remnant]

If making you're own pool I'd think a stack for the pool, just push one when you get one returned tot he pool and pop one when a new one is requested

[tardy needle]

Then this?

[eternal needle]

id only really go with a deactivated one if youre trying to apply some effect to every single one. but yea just use the objectpool class for the actual pool. no need to worry about stack/queue/list

[tardy needle]

There is an built in class?

[mint remnant]

yes

using UnityEngine.Pool;

[summer stump]

It is what I suggested multiple times now

[mint remnant]

https://unity.com/how-to/use-object-pooling-boost-performance-c-scripts-unity THey even have an exmaple gun class

[rich adder]

its going into another app is it not?

application loses focus

nice

[tardy needle]

Thanks

[cold ruin]

I struggle trying to classify "equipment item" to a certain "equipment slot" (example: I want to equip the "weapon item" exactly to "weapon slot" and nothing else beside the inventory itself). Can someone please help me?

Item

using UnityEngine.Tilemaps;

[CreateAssetMenu(menuName = "Scriptable Object/Item")]
public class Item : ScriptableObject
{
    [Header("Only Gameplay")]
    public ItemType itemType;
    public ActionType actionType;

    [Header("Only UI")]
    public bool stackable = true;

    [Header("Both UI")]
    public Sprite image;
    public enum ItemType
    {
        Weapon,
        Bracelet,
        Helmet,
        Necklace,
        Consumable
    }

    public enum ActionType
    {
        Equip,
        Drink
    }
}

EquipmentSlot

public class EquipmentSlot : MonoBehaviour, IDropHandler
{
    public void OnDrop(PointerEventData eventData)
    {
        if (transform.childCount == 0)
        {
            GameObject dropped = eventData.pointerDrag;
            DraggableItem draggableItem = dropped.GetComponent<DraggableItem>();
            draggableItem.parentAfterDrag = transform;
        }
    }
}

Should I make maps for unity in blender, or should I just make assets in blender and build the level in unity?

[solemn fractal]

hey guys.. I am trying to do a simple task here.. I have a 2d object in my scene with the script attached to it with the Class name Enemy. In my player script I try do this as you can see in the SS and it seems like it is not recognizing it.. I did the same steps for my PlayerBullet and worked. This one he cant find it.. any ideas? Thank you.

[frosty hound]

Did you actually save your Enemy script?

[solemn fractal]

I just created the script enemy without opening,. and this happened. After that I opened the Enemy script that I didnt code yet anything inside.. hit save just to be sure.. but still nothing.. if that is the prob I will try to write some code there or create a variable just to save it again and test

[frosty hound]

Do you have compiler errors in your console?

[solemn fractal]

No

Even tho after creating a variable inside enemy and saving.. still same issue.. hm. No errors anywhere.. I will close and open unity again

After closing and opening unity fixed the issue thank you

[frosty hound]

You may want to check that your IDE is configured, for whatever reason it didn't compile your new script

[solemn fractal]

Yeah.. I will check that again.. thank you

[mint remnant]

THe error typically ends up just ooutside of where you cropped the image

[solemn fractal]

Another question.. If i want my player that is a static player in the middle of the screen. To shoot an enemy every time the enemy is in a certain dist from the player.. what is the best approach? To use in Start method and use something like FindObject or use a serialized field and drag the enemy prefab from project assets to the player script serialized field? or what method u recommend?

The best approach to find the enemy.. i mean

[mint remnant]

loop thru a list of the enemies, comparing their distance to the player

[cinder night]

can someone please tell me how to execute C# code from visual scripting?
i have this code inside, but i dont undersntad how to use it

using UnityEngine;

public class Utilities : MonoBehaviour
{
public void PrintMessage(string message)
{
Debug.Log(message);
}

public int AddNumbers(int a, int b)
{
    return a + b;
}

}

[frosty hound]

Stick a trigger collider on your player and check when something enters it

[summer stump]

#763499475641172029

[summer stump]

Not a code question. It also depends. What kind of map? If it is something like a house interior, definitely blender.
If a flat world, maybe assets would be fine

[balmy steeple]

is it possible to copy a component and add it to another object

[solemn fractal]

Good ideas.. thank you.. but I mean when it detects that something entered that collider.. I coulkd use other.comparetag"enemy" and with that information I can get the enemy direction to shoot at it I imagine yes correct?

[mint remnant]

in inspector right click, copy component

[balmy steeple]

also there could be a case where you block out the level/world in unity, test it for gameplay, and export it to blender and model around the block out

[balmy steeple]

i thought this was a code channel i wanna do it via code lol

[surreal turret]

Definitly a larger, open plane

Its a parkour/mobement game

[balmy steeple]

definitely this then lol

or the assets route depending on how complex the game is

probably doing it the premade assets way if its similar to karlson, but for something like ghost runners visual complexity its probably layout first

[balmy steeple]

the only way i found to do this is by adding a new component and copying each field manually

[eternal needle]

is there a specific use case you're trying to do here?

if you need to copy everything related to this, at runtime, and may need private variables then itd be better if classes that need this functionality handle it themselves

[crisp token]

Is the Activator class responsible for all instantiations?

idk how ive never heard about it before, I always thought the Object class did that

[eternal needle]

this is for reflection, if you want to look into how c# actually creates objects then you'll likely find more in depth online. better than what anyone here will type up.

[crisp token]

is there anything I need to be concerned about when using reflection; can I treat it like a new() instantiation ?

[eternal needle]

Yes, you should be concerned that you're using reflection

What's the use case? Reflection isnt like advanced imo but you realllllllly shouldnt need it in your own project.

[crisp token]

im passing a List of MovementAbility objects to a method and each element is a separate child class of MovementAbility (Ex: Jump, Slide), and I want to create a new instance of that Class (Jump, Slide) respectively for each element in the list. The new instances are not just copies

[eternal needle]

Still not seeing which part here actually requires reflection

I'm guessing you took some AI answer which used it. Because I really fail to see how you would come to reflection here

[crisp token]

It prob doesnt i just need a way to take the type and make a new object

like how can I go: take the type of an object --> create a new instance of that type

[eternal needle]

With new if these arent unity objects

[crisp token]

oh I could just do: new object.GetType() ()?

[eternal needle]

Your message implied you already had the type of object but really I have no clue what you're actually trying to do. Can you show the code because this looks extremely questionable

[eternal needle]

[eternal needle]

Also I guess explain more of what you're actually trying to do. Because I dont fully understand what "these new instances are not copies" is supposed to mean or why they're created in the first place

[crisp token]

yeah ik its a bit weird but I have two classes. Movement State Manager and Movement Applicator. I tried to keep Movement State Manager solely responsible for reading input and outputting a state. These objects are already made because each MovementAbility object contains its own information related to what states it can and cannot override, so its neccessary to create instances of them in Movement State Manager to determine the state. However, I dont want to properly instantiate them until the Movement Applicator Class, which is why I need to make new instances here

Essentailly the objects in movementAbilitiesToInstantiate are references that only exist to access information

[eternal needle]

honestly still none of this makes sense to me. it looks like this method doesnt even need to exist at all, and it cannot just contain an empty reference. either the instance is null or it isnt. It doesnt make sense to create an instance, then pass that in a list, try getting the type to just create a new instance.

this looks more like a problem that doesnt need to exist, but i dont know what to suggest to you because the whole scenario isnt easy to imagine

[crisp token]

it may not need to exist but i dont think its a big problem'

i could just use if statements

thanks for your time

[eternal needle]

🤷‍♂️ well im not gonna bother convincing you otherwise but theres most definitely a better way to do it. Something is calling this method and sending in a list of instances, it mustve created those MovementAbility's somehow.

[crisp token]

Yeah I def could've looked up how to make a state machine but I wanted to try on my own

[eternal needle]

this isnt even related to state machines, you are creating an object, passing it to something else, then trying to get the type and use reflection to create it.

this is just backwards

[crisp token]

Movement State Manager updates state and outputs a list of objects representing actions that it has deemed "valid" and to be instantiated in Movement Applicator

It is backwards to have to create an object to access what could be static class information but the reason i did that was because it keeps code neater

[eternal needle]

but you're passing a list of MovementAbility meaning these must already be created

and this is not neater by any means

[crisp token]

yeah they are created but when they are constructed imagine only half of the paramters have meaningful values

[crisp token]

neater as in having the property be part of the hierarchy

[eternal needle]

then why dont you just populate the values you want...

you're passing the instance of the object, just use that instance

[crisp token]

I could , but i'd prefer to keep it in the constructor instead of having separate methods

[raw token]

Separate methods are miles cleaner than instantiating through reflection 👀

[crisp token]

forget about reflection lol

[eternal needle]

ok well have it your way then, but when you make that 2nd constructor id love to see how different that looks than a 2nd method

[crisp token]

well its just one constructor

[eternal needle]

not in the way you're describing, which honestly has been so vague ive had to play 20 questions where the problem changes everytime

[crisp token]

im sorry, but to be fair I was just asking a simple question not for advice on my whole architecture

obviously describing an entire system is difficult

[eternal needle]

yes and the answer was you shouldnt be using reflection. Of course id want to provide an alternative instead of just saying that and leaving

[crisp token]

I can go into depth so you could help me because I agree this approach is a bit weird, if youd like I just dont want to bother u

[eternal needle]

my answer is still the same, for what i understand the problem to be.
just create a new method so you can assign values to the existing object instead of whatever youre trying to do here.
Or
dont create the instances from a place where a place where they shouldnt be created with half the values needed to function

[crisp token]

im gonna take your advice and see if I can populate them after

its a good idea

[sweet sierra]

Your tip saved me! 🫡 Quite literally...

My character was spawning after the ball so animations weren't playing properly. Then your advice came to my mind so yeah, implemented that. Thank you! ⭐

[rocky canyon]

oh, np!

[river pecan]

I'm trying to save a list and I've found out that Unity's JsonUtility doesn't support arrays as a root element. Everything online says to use use a serializable wrapper class that holds a list but I don't know how to reference it. I don't know how I should be calling it in my save function.

    public static void SaveInventory(Inventory inventory)
    {
        string path = Path.Combine(Application.persistentDataPath, "inventory.json");
        // Add int to SerializableList
        File.WriteAllText(path, JsonUtility.ToJson(SerializableList.list, true));
    }

[rich adder]

create instance of that wrapper class, then assign ur list there

[river pecan]

SerializableList list = new SerializableList();

I did this and it's giving a null reference exception so

I can't be referencing it correctly

[System.Serializable]
public class SerializableList
{
    public List<int> list;
}

[mint remnant]

THat's jsut declaring a List, not initializing it

[river pecan]

Oh okay

I mean that's what I've seen in every example online

I haven't found an example of calling the list when saving

[mint remnant]

somewhere you have to say List = new List<int()

[rich adder]

unless its in the inspector its not auto initialized

[raw token]

There is nothing on this line which could throw an NRE 👀

Do you mean it was NREing on like list.list = inventory or somthing?

[river pecan]

It is, so do I need to initialize the list in the new script

[rich adder]

no way this would give a nre

[river pecan]

Yeah changed the code without rerunning the game so it shifted and when I reevaluated it, it was shifted

[rich adder]

are you just testing

[raw token]

You need to set it's value somehow, yeah - it's supposed to be a reference to your list, so you need to set that reference at some point.

[rich adder]

also these names are wild confusing

[river pecan]

Yeah I have real names for my real saving objects

I'm just testing out lists before actually trying to implement it

[rich adder]

SerializableList myList = new SerializableList();
        myList.list = new List<int>();
        for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) 
        {
            myList.list.Add(Random.Range(0,101))
        }```
idk

[river pecan]

I mean I'm not getting any error but it's still just

Outputting {} in the file

[rich adder]

what the problem and why are you saving ints?

[raw token]

what does your code look like now?

[river pecan]

I was saving ints in a list to test saving in general

[rich adder]

are you for example using to Json the myList

does your list have anything

[river pecan]

        string path = Path.Combine(Application.persistentDataPath, "inventory.json");
        SerializableList serializableListObject = new SerializableList();
        serializableListObject.list = new List<int>();
        serializableListObject.list.Add(1);
        serializableListObject.list.Add(4);
        serializableListObject.list.Add(9);
        File.WriteAllText(path, JsonUtility.ToJson(serializableListObject.list, true));
        Debug.Log(serializableListObject.list.Count);

[rich adder]

you need to ToJson the serializableListObject

[river pecan]

Ah I see

That makes sense

[rich adder]

thats the point of that wrapper

[river pecan]

I've never experimented with this before and there's no examples of using wrappers that I could find

All I could find online is that I should be using wrappers

[rich adder]

yeah its confusing at first, you'll get the hang of it

wait till you deal with properties and dictionaries 😄

more wrappers

actually props are fine iirc if you use backing field n Field: or is it auto-properties ?
can't recall, i just lazy out with Json.net

[raw token]

I'm... not sure. Lazying out is the way to go 👀

[mint remnant]

Haven't messed with Json in unity yet, but is NewtonSoft's a better or equal one to use?

[river pecan]

I was trying to find that, I saw there was an asset that had array support but it was like

Gone

[rich adder]

NewtonSoft is great cause it has extra features for more complex operations

also dictionary support without wrapper struct / class

esp if you pull items from web its good to have JObject and other cool stuff like that

[raw token]

I like to wrap all of my json in an object, with the data itself nested into the data property. This leaves room at the top level for meta-data, like creation/modified dates or hashes or file format revision numbers or whathaveyou

[rich adder]

https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.nuget.newtonsoft-json@latest

although in most cases you're fine with JsonUtility in unity tbh.
whatever unity can serialize you can use

[river pecan]

Thanks

[woven crater]

is this store an instance of Iattack inside SO?

this return null

[languid spire]

there are 4 things there that could be null. Make sure it is only Attack.
Also screenshot the inspector of the SO

[woven crater]

the null happen after the debug

[languid spire]

But your debug tells you nothing. You need to check each element of the next statement

Is there a problem with the IInteractable or is it just me?

Mostly as I'm having the player be able to interact via mouse click: https://hastebin.com/share/qurutacona.csharp

[short hazel]

Nothing seems off, that method inside Update on lines 22-24 can be removed as you're not using it (it is a local function only available in Update)

There are logs in your code, are you getting them, and if yes which?

[languid spire]

Also post the code for IInteractable

[opal zealot]

    public void Interact();
}```

[opal zealot]

Up to: if (Physics.Raycast(r, out RaycastHit hitInfo, InteractRange))
In: https://hastebin.com/share/wodaruxofe.csharp

[languid spire]

what? That line is not even in the code you posted

[short hazel]

Please post the full class containing this code

[opal zealot]

Ok

[short hazel]

Ah, AI generated code

[opal zealot]

I didn't AI generate it though.

Someone did help me a bit with the setup, I just add onto it.

[short hazel]

It has an awful lot of comments for this to be true

[opal zealot]

Oh

Oh dear, is that bad?

[languid spire]

Not as such but, it is a dead giveaway that it is AI generated and so likely to be complete nonsense

[opal zealot]

Oh

Welp

Got stuck for a week trying to solve it on my own thinking I missed something.

[short hazel]

If it's not passing the condition where you raycast, then the raycast didn't detect anything. Make sure the object you're attempting to hit has a collider and is at the right position!

And that you're firing the ray in the right direction, too

[opal zealot]

Which I made sure, the NPC I'm clicking on has both the collider and is in the right position.

[robust dew]

how can i make 2 enemies don't receive damage from other's bullet but both damaged by player's bullet ? Any idea without using Layers ?

[languid spire]

you also need to learn how to debug. Dont just output literals, add some relevant data to them

[opal zealot]

Will do, I'll be more prudent in debuging.

[languid spire]

Generally you want to Debug BEFORE you do something, not afterwards when it has worked

[short hazel]

Note that on this object here, you have added a collider and modified other properties without applying them to your original prefab (the bold text and blue bars to the left of the window is a giveaway). If you're spawning these via script, the new instances won't have these changes

[opal zealot]

Noted. I'll change the code(If its unsalvageable).

[opal zealot]

How do I apply them to the OG prefab? I usually just edit and it runs normally.

[short hazel]

Overrides button at the top, select Apply All

[opal zealot]

Done, overrided the OG prefab.

Is it normal for the NPC + Player to float via Capsule collider?

[languid spire]

Colliders have no influence on position, only Rigidbody and CharacterController have that

[naive pawn]

wouldn't a rigidbody on a collider set too low affect the position

make sure your collider aligns well with your model

[opal zealot]

I planed them as 2D sprite assets like how Ragnarok Online does it.

Do we have a Cylinder collider?

Yeah, it really is my collider problem.

Somehow the capsule colliders are making them float.

[languid spire]

no

[opal zealot]

Ok, let me try testing the Rigidbody and CC.

[languid spire]

your capsule collider is a trigger so has nothing to do with anything except being touched

[opal zealot]

Ok

Good news, the player doesn't float anymore but the NPCs still do:

Yeah, its a problem with positioning.

[languid spire]

The NPC doesn't have a Rigidbody or CC

[opal zealot]

Yeah, I noticed. I just need to keep all Y-axis to 0

[eternal needle]

the rigidbody would yes, the collider alone would not care where it is in the world by itself

[opal zealot]

Now back to the interactive.

[naive pawn]

it'd still be the collider that's telling the rigidbody where it is though

[eternal needle]

The point from the message you initially replied to was that a collider does not move the objects, other components do and that may move based on existing colliders.

[silver girder]

i have a script and i cant add camera bobbling when walking and running and a small shake when jump but i have tried lerping the camera but didnt work so i deleted it please help me in it

[naive pawn]

rigidbody influences position
colliders influence rigidbody
i don't see how you could say colliders don't influence position at all

[jolly temple]

guys, i have a question. How do I understand C# Programming Language?

because it's hard to memorize the codes or functions

[languid spire]

Memorizing and understanding are not the same thing, learn programming concepts and they can be applied to any language. As for memorizing, there is very little you need to memorize, the docs are always online for you to refer to

[ivory bobcat]

Learn and use the concepts. Syntax looks intimidating but we've got Intellisense to auto complete/suggest those. You've simply got to be able to understand that certain tools (not their specific syntax) are available: conditional branches, loops and whatnot.

[burnt vapor]

Considering you ask this in the Unity server I strongly suggest you don't think of using Unity until you have a bit of an idea on how c# works.

[daring quiver]

Hello I need help with my game design, as everything breaks when I create a build for an android game on my macos. Everything is out of position and not set in the positions I placed them. Can someone please help me with this?

[little seal]

i have these 2 player cubes with an object attatched to them that i turn on and off to attack, it works for the most parts but sometimes when they are this close together the collisions dont register, does anyone know why? (green bar is the attack)
only once one of them moves again (even if its a jump and they land on the same spot) they can be attacked a second time

this is my script for checking if the player gets damaged

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEditor.SearchService;
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.SceneManagement;

public class damagableThing : MonoBehaviour
{
    [SerializeField]
    int maxHealth;
    int health;
    // Start is called before the first frame update
    void Start()    
    {
        health = maxHealth;
    }

    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update()
    {
        print(health);
        if (health <= 0)
        {
            health = maxHealth;
            print("died!");
            gameObject.transform.position = new Vector3(0, 10, 0);
            gameObject.GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>().velocity = Vector3.zero;
        }
    }
    private void OnTriggerEnter2D(Collider2D collision)
    {
        damageSource damageScript = collision.gameObject.GetComponent<damageSource>();
        if (damageScript != null)
        {
            health -= 1;
        }
    }
}

[ivory bobcat]

You may need to show your implementation for

turn on and off to attack

[little seal]

sure 1 sec, its just enabling the object that the trigger is attatched to lemme pull it up rq

[little seal]

    IEnumerator enableAttack()
    {
        attacking = true;
        gameObject.transform.GetChild(0).gameObject.SetActive(true);
        yield return new WaitForSeconds(0.2f);
        gameObject.transform.GetChild(0).gameObject.SetActive(false);
        yield return new WaitForSeconds(attackcooldown);
        attacking = false;
    }
    void FixedUpdate(){
        if (!gameObject.transform.GetChild(0).gameObject.active && Input.GetKey(KeyCode.E) && !attacking)
        {
            StartCoroutine(enableAttack());
        }
    }

[ivory bobcat]

Oh, you've got other problems..
Input should be acquired from Update and not Fixed Update (you'll be missing input in Fixed Update)

[little seal]

alright, i thought id put it in fixed for consistency

do you have any idea about the hitting issue?

[ivory bobcat]

I'm not entirely certain with the information you've provided but I'm "assuming" that it's to do with you setting the object inactive before the trigger state completes. Thus it doesn't occur again on setting it active afterwards. Purely a guess though.

[little seal]

it only occurs after hitting the other player once already so that could be true

actually nvm

that might be it though

the person still enters the trigger even though the object is disabled?

any movement fixes it though

[ivory bobcat]

It hasn't ever exited so it cannot enter?

[little seal]

yeah but even when the gameobject the trigger is attatched to is disabled, it happens

so if you stand in the trigger, then enable it it doesnt count as entering

maybe the first movement while inside causes the trigger, not actually just being there?

[ivory bobcat]

Try Trigger enter//Good
set object inactivate 
//Exit never occurs 
Try Trigger enter//Bad, hasn't exited so cannot enter again - it's in the "Stay" state?```

[little seal]

actually it seems more like this

object is inactive
go into trigger while inactive
set object active
trigger enter doesnt happen untill moving

[ivory bobcat]

Rather than guessing, use the exit message and see if it occurs between the two enters

Enter will not occur again if you haven't exited

If you want it to occur with Exit, use Stay

[little seal]

i might just make a list of all the things it hit, then use stay and then check the list if the person has been hit by the attack and if not, hit them

[ivory bobcat]

Disable the renderer and that script - faking an object being disabled. Problem solved.

[fair sedge]

Hey, have already someone used Kirurobo package (allowing windows transparency, grabbing etc)? I have some issues with it 😢

[ivory bobcat]

You might want to ask the devs. People here will not likely know about the specific asset.

[little seal]

the render is a visual anyway, the script is on the recieving end but i can probably disable the collider

[fair sedge]

You mean dev in this discord or the one that developped the package? Because hes japanese 🥲

[ivory bobcat]

The person who made the asset or their dedicated server.

[fair sedge]

Yeah but he has not any discord server and his twitter messages are closed, thats why i wanted to reach someone that might have used its package before 😢 but no prob thanks anyway (if someone has used it before please reach out! )

[little seal]

did not work, D: any trigger has to be activated by moving first thats so annoying

[ivory bobcat]

Stay would occur regardless of moving or not. You've got something else going on.

[little seal]

stay does not work, im guessing because they never entered since you have to move for that

[ivory bobcat]

Stay should be checking every frame regardless of the enter/exit state

[little seal]

i dont know then, all i know is that it doesnt work

im holding e, the collider keeps popping up because of that, but im not getting any message from

private void OnTriggerStay2D(Collider2D collision)
{
    print("Staying");
}```
or any of my trigger methods for that matter

[wintry quarry]

Ok this is just a poor approach. If you want to do an attack just use Physics2D.OverlapBox instead of this whole scheme which is messy and unreliable

[ivory bobcat]

Show your implementation for input detection

[little seal]

alright, thank you. i did not know this was a thing so i used triggers

[fair sedge]

Hey,
i'll detail an import problem that i encountered recently. My code tree is the following :

Assets
|___ Kirurobo
|       |___ Runtime
|               |___ Prefabs
|               |      |___ Controller.prefab
|               |
|               |___ Scripts
|                      |___ ControllerSc.cs             
|___ Scripts
        |___ MyScript.cs

I use a package to manage some things in my code. ControllerSc.cs is basically a big namespace Kirurobo{} and it is attached to Controller.prefab. This one is in my scene and works fine. However, ControllerSc.cs provides API with public functions that i would consider using for some tooling in my scene. But, when I try to get the script by doing this:

ControllerSc controllerScript = controllerPrefab.GetComponent<ControllerSc>();

It seems to not be able to resolve ControllerSc script.

Has any of you an idea of how to import properly a script from a package?

[tidal kiln]

is ControllerSc a component

[slender nymph]

it probably has an asmdef so you'll need to look at this: https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/ScriptCompilationAssemblyDefinitionFiles.html

[languid spire]

did you add a using for the namespace?

[fair sedge]

What do you mean by component? I might lack some vocabulary, but this is a script

[tidal kiln]

if ControllerSc.cs is a filename with a bunch of classes there might not actually be a Monobehaviour named ControllerSc

[fair sedge]

Yes i added using Kurorobo;, however it does not resolve these scripts. It understands Kurorobo but it resolves some other scripts located in the package but these are samples

[fair sedge]

Yeah there is a asmdef, so it means i have to compile it?

[languid spire]

screenshot the top of the script

[slender nymph]

why not read the page and learn what you need to do instead of making a random (completely incorrect) guess?

[fair sedge]

(i refactored names to make it simple but this is my controllerSc)

[slender nymph]

well i don't see a class named ControllerSc there

[tidal kiln]

GetComponent<ControllerSc> is gonna search for a class inheriting from Monobehaviour or a derivative attached to the gameobject

[fair sedge]

I named it controllerSc to make it simple, but its real name is UniWindowController. It has monobehaviour called by the same name

[slender nymph]

the comment also implies this isn't even ControllerSc.cs

[slender nymph]

prove it

[languid spire]

so not ConstrolerSC

[slender nymph]

again, that is not a class named ControllerSc. that is a class named UniWindowController

[tidal kiln]

whats the component thats attached to the gameobject

you have to use getcomponent on that

[fair sedge]

Yeah my bad guys, i named the files within my tree really quick to make it simple, but as we go deep into the files i have to clarify that controllerSc is a name i chose to replace UniWindowController.cs . The component attached to this prefab is UniWindowController (script)

[slender nymph]

you need to use the name of the actual type, not the name of the file

ControllerSc is just the file's name and has literally no bearing whatsoever on the code

[fair sedge]

so if my namespace is "kirurobo", i have to call it by kirurobo?

[tidal kiln]

no the class name

[grand badger]

Also, mono behaviour types NEED to reflect the file’s name 1:1

[slender nymph]

that is the namespace you add with the using directive

[tidal kiln]

the name of the component that inherits from monobehaviour

[slender nymph]

incorrect in recent versions

[grand badger]

Hm, ty til

[slender nymph]

that requirement has been dropped as of 2022.2, though there are still some restrictions
#1078093315435679784 message

[fair sedge]

I used using Kirurobo; at the top of my file (as the namespace in the file is), and in my script i cant manage to resolve it

[grand badger]

I’m on 2022.2 for a new project, does it still apply?

[fair sedge]

UIWindowController is my reference to the prefab

[tidal kiln]

its a method so you need ()

[slender nymph]

why are you starting a new project on a tech stream release when the LTS release for that version is already available (and has been for some time now)? 🤔

[fair sedge]

Yeah but it seems like it doesnt have any reference to it

[slender nymph]

if you save it, does the error appear in the unity console as well or only in your IDE?

[ivory bobcat]

Did you resolve the previous concern? #💻┃code-beginner message

[fair sedge]

No i'm having a look at it

[grand badger]

Afaik it’s the latest version where the new terms including rev share don’t apply (?)

[slender nymph]

incorrect, those new terms only apply to unity 6

[fair sedge]

Yeah

[slender nymph]

that's not even remotely related to the line of code you are having trouble with

[ivory bobcat]

That's an nre, something completely unrelated

[runic vortex]

Hello I need help with this strange bug, i made a list but when i try to access the list from the same script i got a null reference error.

[slender nymph]

or rather, it isn't a compile error. it might still be related to that line for other reasons

[slender nymph]

then your list is probably null

[languid spire]

you have not initialized the list

[ivory bobcat]

You'll need to properly reference an instance

[runic vortex]

I'm trying to add an object to it, but it gave me the error

[grand badger]

Their terms at the time specifically mentioned future versions, but 2023 wasn’t out yet.. are you 100% sure for what you said? And how?

[languid spire]

exactlly

[fair sedge]

Oh i think you guys made me understand a thing, when i start my game, there is no error

This is when i print it with a Debug.Log()

[slender nymph]

if you do not see an error in the unity console outside of play mode then the issue you see in the code is because you need to regenerate the project files.

[grand badger]

Nice

[slender nymph]

#archived-pricing-updates-talk read the information yourself. but i'm not even referring to 2023, you said you were using 2022.2 when 2022.3 exists

[fair sedge]

Damn youre right, after launching my game and reopening VSCode it got updated, thanks!!

I'll still read asmdef page because it is interesting, thanks for the support guyz

[tidal kiln]

90% of the time i see someone having text editing issues its vscode lol

i like vscode but the trouble just isnt worth it for c#

[slender nymph]

i'm also going to assume that since you are so worried about these fees that you are either already making over 1 million USD/year (unlikely) or you are just simply misinformed about how the new pricing structure works

[fair sedge]

Which one do you use?

[tidal kiln]

visual studio

rider is good too

[grand badger]

I’m not worried about hitting 1mil, but I don’t have time to read and agree to the terms atm :p

[slender nymph]

eh, to be fair this issue they experienced is fairly common with visual studio as well and a simple regeneration of the project files is enough to solve it in either case (or sometimes just a restart if unity created the correct project files but the editor did not load them)

[grand badger]

Oof, sorry, mistype… but lucky accident since I learned about the terms thing

[tidal kiln]

yea in this case

[lethal bolt]

This dosent push the character forward but one direction

[rocky canyon]

Vector3.forward is the global forward.. (alwys one direction)

[slender nymph]

yes, that applies force along the world's Z axis. either use AddRelativeForce or use its transform.forward as the direction of force applied

also don't use deltaTime with forces

and why are you using an impulse force for regular movement? that should be ForceMode.Force and inside of FixedUpdate

[ivory bobcat]

Tbf, I've tested the configuration process myself lately and it works for the most part (code completion for Unity types and whatnot) but the unity messages are completely missing with vsc (likely due to them not actually using inheritance but some other sort of binding/reflection for detecting usages of these magic methods). I've tried some add-ons to supplement this but am not too fond of the strange formatting with their auto completion.

[lethal bolt]

i barely knew there was a diffrence

but Thanks!

[slender nymph]

yeah, vs code's configuration has gotten better lately. i still won't use it though because i prefer my fully featured IDE with fewer issues 🤷‍♂️

[languid spire]

Absolutely, why would you use a jumped up text editor when you can use a fully fledged IDE for free?

[slender nymph]

beginners hear "it's lightweight!" and just latch onto that despite all of the extensions they are required to install making it more like visual studio in regards to performance

[languid spire]

Did you try out the debugging support?

[ivory bobcat]

I did not test the debugger very much. It was merely a configuration test to reproduce some issues that users were not too happy about.

[languid spire]

I suppose they need 'lightweight' because having 500 browser tabs and social media apps open is consuming all of their resources

[languid spire]

be interesting to know what that's like now, last time I looked, admitedly quite a while ago, it was bloody awful

[gentle flint]

I followed this tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sU5njx1jn8w&t=691s for Unity Ads Mediation and i couldn't install admob because it couldn't build and also adlovin because i don't have the app live but that's fine because i just wanted to test unity ads and ironsource but when i compile and i open the file in my phone the function onSdkInitializationCompletedEvent is never called, this is the code:

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

public class AdsManager : MonoBehaviour
{
#if UNITY_ANDROID
    string appKey = "1f41c9b05";
#else
    string appKey = "unexpected_platform";
#endif
    public TextMeshProUGUI totalCoinsTxt;
    private void Start()
    {
        print("Starting Debug");
        totalCoinsTxt.text = PlayerPrefs.GetInt("totalCoins").ToString();
        print(totalCoinsTxt.text);
        IronSource.Agent.validateIntegration();
        print("Validated");
        IronSource.Agent.init(appKey);
        print("Initialized "+appKey);
    }

    private void OnEnable()
    {
        print("OnEnable Run");
        IronSourceEvents.onSdkInitializationCompletedEvent += SdkInitialized;
        print("Sdk command run");
//Other stuff

    }

    void SdkInitialized()
    {
        print("Sdk in initialized!!");

    }
    void OnApplicationPause(bool isPaused)
    {
        IronSource.Agent.onApplicationPause(isPaused);
    }
//Everything else```

[rich adder]

You can delete the one in #💻┃unity-talk
dont crosspost

[languid spire]

Did you use the android LogCat package to see what was happening?

[gentle flint]

i used this file written by someone else to create a log screen in the scene while it was running:

[languid spire]

Use Android LogCat, that is what it is for

[quasi hinge]

hey guys, I'm trying to make a scoring system that sends the score in the console, but the score stays at 1, I'd be thankful if you help, thank you!

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

public class DetectCollisions : MonoBehaviour
{
private float playerScore = 0;

// Start is called before the first frame update
void Start()
{
    Debug.Log("Score = " + playerScore );
}

// Update is called once per frame
void Update()
{
    
}
//Destroy when Colliding
private void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other)
{
    Destroy(gameObject);
    Destroy(other.gameObject);
    playerScore += 1;
    Debug.Log("Score = " + playerScore);
}

}

the issue is also that you are destroying the object that is storing the current score

[quasi hinge]

so i have to make a new empty object to store the scores?

[summer stump]

That is how many people do it yes

[rich adder]

You need another script that wont destroy

[languid spire]

Also why is score float when you are only adding 1 ?

[rich adder]

and easily referenceable

[slender nymph]

not necessarily, you just can't destroy the instance that your score is stored on. because what is currently happening is each individual instance of this object has it's own separate playerScore variable. it starts at 0 for each one, then you increment it to 1, assign the text, then destroy this instance of the object

[quasi hinge]

ooh, thank you all for your help ❤️

!install

[eternal falcon]

When Unity fails to install checklist

• Make sure you have enough space including on C: drive.
• Check that it's not being blocked by antivirus/security programs.
• Look through the logs for a real reason why the setup fails they are pinned [here](#💻┃unity-talk message).

If you still have issues, perform a clean install in another location:

• Install the Hub and Unity in a non-system drive or a clean new folder in the root of C: drive.
• Failing that use the recovery Refresh option or reinstall OS entirely then repeat the previous step.

[gentle flint]

This is what it gives me when i open the app

[languid spire]

use a paste site, I dont download files from discord

Well that seems pretty conclusive, you ain't verified on the ads networks

[rich adder]

they told you, the logs

[gentle flint]

i read that i can test even without being verified on ironsource

[west phoenix]

what logs.....

[languid spire]

the logs that you said you 'cant find anything in'

[west phoenix]

oh...

[languid spire]

Didn't even look

aswell in Unity ads

[slender nymph]

didn't you specifically say you didn't find anything in the logs? why lie about it when you could instead ask how to find the logs if you don't know?

[rich adder]

what a surprise lol ppl lie on dc

[west phoenix]

i dont get it like what logs there are no logs

[languid spire]

what a surprise, I don't help people who do that

[slender nymph]

the unity hub logs so you can see why the install failed

[rich adder]

this implies you put some effort into opening a file, apparently not

I dont use Ironsource, maybe move this to #📱┃mobile

alr thanks anyways

so logs in the programm unity hub but where are logs in the programm......

[slender nymph]

holy shit dude, do you just not bother reading any of the information provided to you?

[west phoenix]

you said logs in unity hub

[slender nymph]

i did not say "in" the unity hub. i said the unity hub logs. the location of which is provided in that convenient link in the embed you lied about following the instructions for

[polar acorn]

where?

Where did anyone say they were "in" the hub

They are, in fact, in the location the bot originally mentioned they were

[languid spire]

reading comprehension, or rather lack of it, seems to have become endemic in the 'yoof'

[west phoenix]

ok bro i dont get any information out of this

[slender nymph]

why not share the last 100 lines from the hub logs like you were asked to

that way someone who actually will bother reading it can help you

they left the server

[grand badger]

yea no I get it 😛

[frank flare]

how can I get GameObject from hit?

[polar acorn]

what's the error say

[rich adder]

do .gameObject instead of transform

[polar acorn]

So objectHolding isn't a transform

you can't store a transform in that variable

[polar acorn]

Right, so don't try to store a transform in it

[frank flare]

don't mind that it's public I'm messing with it

[rich adder]

you're trying to store a transform into a gameobject

that makes no sense

[frank flare]

that's why I'm asking how to get GameObject from hit

[rich adder]

I told you how

[frank flare]

how?

[rich adder]

scrollup

[polar acorn]

scroll up

[frank flare]

ok

wait this and gameObject are different things?

[polar acorn]

yes

[frank flare]

ah yeah

[polar acorn]

this is the object that is running the code

[frank flare]

yeah

[rich adder]

the script basically

is this

it works outside of unity as well

[frank flare]

so gameObject is some property

[rich adder]

yea

same transform is

[frank flare]

ok

[mint remnant]

Optimized my code, broke everything, code far less readable now, but it runs faster...sigh

[raw token]

Fast and ugly, like my dad's Boston Terrier 👍

[mint remnant]

Was a good practice at least, hadn't used the profiler yet and now I know how to do that, but I'm guessing the fact that I borke everything in the process and it got ugly points to a poor initial design

[slender nymph]

Next step would be to refactor it so that it is readable, even if that is only including comments to clarify why you've written certain things the way you have

[mint remnant]

Switching to object pooling was a big improvement, but I think I need to go to the next level and consider threading to eleviate the stutter in the UI

[rich adder]

You can't do any unity APIs in threads

Jobs ig but doubt UGUI is part of it

[mint remnant]

I think most of the off thread stuff would be calculations, so that's good

[ivory bobcat]

The task needs to be long enough to be worthwhile else syncing the threads could impact performance.

[mint remnant]

It's a basic minecraft chunk, so there's a lot of heavy lifting in building a chunk, like is a face visible or not, adding bunches of verts, triangles, uvs. THinking something like hey thread I need a chunk, go build it for me tell me when it's ready

oh, the entire thing is unselectable, ctrl+F wont find it anyways

found it thanks! 🥹

yeah, unfortunately it's an image

and it looks bad if you use an extension to force darkmode because each of those blocks is surrounded by transparency but aren't transparent themselves

thanks and sorry for not doing stuff correctly im just so confused by everything

[wintry quarry]

Are you working with a configured IDE (code editor)? Your IDE will automatically suggest that fix if you are

if you're not, you need to get your IDE configured

[devout valley]

i should be im doing it now but its probably wrong

ive got the external tools set to visual studio code 1.92.0

[slender nymph]

#💻┃code-beginner message

[devout valley]

yeah i think ive done that

ive followed the VS code segment of it

cause im not using visual studio just studio code

[slender nymph]

did you install the c# dev kit? and in doing so, did it install the .net sdk?

[devout valley]

yep and yep

[slender nymph]

have you restarted your computer since the sdk was installed?

[devout valley]

yeah ive had them installed for ages

well wait

[slender nymph]

show the output tab in vs code

[devout valley]

ive got .net is that the same as .net sdk

[slender nymph]

the .net runtime is not the same as the .net sdk, no. the .net runtime is used to run .net applications, the .net sdk is used to create them

[devout valley]

output tab? i can do the extensions tab? idrk what the output tab is

[queen adder]

Single button that configures your ide in a single press when? 😭

[slender nymph]

considering vs code now only requires the installation of one extension which installs all of the required ones, it should be simple

[frank flare]

how can I do something when button is just pressed? what's the code for detecting if button was just pressed?

[slender nymph]

but if that is too much to follow, consider switching to a real IDE like visual studio which is much easier to configure and won't just randomly break either

[slender nymph]

are you using the input system or the input manager (which is through the Input class)

[slender nymph]

my guy, please read the obvious error message in the bottom right of vs code

[queen adder]

I dont even know why I still use vsc when my conputer is powerful enuff already to send spaceships to their orbits

[frank flare]

idk I want a script for detecting if button was just pressed. Is that a question of what I have put in my project settings?

[slender nymph]

how do you not know how you are getting input?

[frank flare]

I get input through input detector

what

[slender nymph]

wtf is "input detector"

[frank flare]

how am I getting input?

[slender nymph]

literally how the fuck should i know the answer to that? it's your project

[queen adder]

or better, public your method, then manually assign in inspector

[slender nymph]

i'm 99% sure they aren't referring to a UI button, but rather an input key

[queen adder]

do you mean if any button was pressed?

oh #🖱️┃input-system then

[summer stump]

Well, only if they are using the input system

[slender nymph]

that is only if they are using the Input System. they still have not said whether they are or not

[frank flare]

well I'm trying to do it like that. Detect Left mouse button or keyboard button

[mint remnant]

try some enclosing ()'s

[queen adder]

is that js syntax

[slender nymph]

and i will ask you one more time, are you using the Input System (a package you have to install and enable in your project if you are on any version before the Unity 6 preview) or the Input Manager which uses the Input class

[twin bolt]

How do i get this code to subtract 10 from the current z axis of the object? Doing it this way gives me bizzare numbers. https://i.imgur.com/D9Lpo1f.png

[summer stump]

Pretty much everything on that line is wrong. Other than the word if

[frank flare]

let me check

[frank flare]

it's pseudo code

[slender nymph]

why did you not fucking do that the first time i asked?

[summer stump]

Ah. Well why not just look it up?
This is incredibly basic with many guides.
Googling that psuedocode would give you an answer

[slender nymph]

note that the values you see in the inspector are the local rotation (which is relative to the parent object) and they are interpreted from the quaternion so they may not match up with the values you expect to see when you rotate the object

that code does however rotate -10 degrees around the Z axis

[twin bolt]

So its correct?

If thats the case, then there is some other problem with my script.

[slender nymph]

if your intention is to rotate -10 degrees around the Z axis, then yes that is correct

[frank flare]

I had no clue what means input system and what's the difference of it between input manager

also how do I check what exact thing is enabled? If I go to project settings there's Input Manager and and Input System Package but on both of them I can't see if I use input system or input manager

[summer stump]

If you go into the Player settings it will show you

[polar acorn]

How have you been getting input for anything so far

[slender nymph]

I had no clue what means input system and what's the difference of it between input manager
so then ask instead of assuming we'll read your mind and know you don't understand the difference

[frank flare]

I forgot unity

[safe gust]

Show the code tho?

[polar acorn]

Okay, so go look at the code and see

[slender nymph]

then start with the beginner courses on the unity !learn site. you've been asking extremely beginner questions for several days now when you could have been learning instead

[eternal falcon]

:teacher: Unity Learn ↗

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

[slender nymph]

also how tf do you only have two compile errors shown here? i count several others
ah wait nevermind, you've hidden several lines

[twin bolt]

The "Dial" objects rotation is 0, -90, 0, and i'm getting this after i use my script, https://i.imgur.com/4c5p60V.png

[devout valley]

https://paste.ofcode.org/gLJUmYPuvbNEpfZNQrLc6B is this how the code pasting works

[slender nymph]

those are the same rotations. because a rotation can be expressed a number of ways

-90 is the same angle as 270

[twin bolt]

Oh, how do i make it just 0, -90, -10?

[slender nymph]

you don't. stop relying on the euler angles displayed in the inspector because they are interpreted from the quaternion at the time they are displayed

[analog moon]

what dose the error mean i dont understand this

[wintry quarry]

#archived-networking

[twin bolt]

so the target rot, is basically 0, -90, -10?

[slender nymph]

yes. again, -90 is the same angle as 270. so is -10 and 350

[twin bolt]

Okay thanks

[devout valley]

ok well yeah im getting a new error message which i dont understand either. its says // Assets\CC\Final CC\Scripts\PlayerLocomotionInput.cs(28,48): error CS1061: 'PlayerControls.PlayerLocomotionMapActions' does not contain a definition for 'RemoveCallbacks' and no accessible extension method 'RemoveCallbacks' accepting a first argument of type 'PlayerControls.PlayerLocomotionMapActions' could be found //

https://paste.ofcode.org/gLJUmYPuvbNEpfZNQrLc6B

[wintry quarry]

on which line

[devout valley]

there hope that helps

[wintry quarry]

it does

[wintry quarry]

Did you get this code from a tutorial or something

[devout valley]

yeah i did

im mega bad at coding i do game design at uni but not the coding part so im tryna learn it aswell

[wintry quarry]

I think the problem is your tutorial is using a different version of the input system than you are

[devout valley]

is it? how

asin its an old tutorial?

[wintry quarry]

if you do PlayerControls.PlayerLocomotionMap. and see what functions come up

what does it show?

they might have renamed RemoveCallbacks or something

this is the generated code so it's hard to see

If you can find your PlayerControls.cs file and share it that would also help

[devout valley]

nws

https://paste.ofcode.org/34Xspz4dAZxEnt7rqHhQruj

its autogenerated throught the unity actions

[wintry quarry]

I know

[devout valley]

i can send the tutorial too if it would help

[slender nymph]

you probably should

[devout valley]

i did earlier lemme grab the link

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=muAzcpAg3lg 12:32 for where im at

[wintry quarry]

Ok so yeah this version doesn't have RemoveCallbacks

[devout valley]

really the video was released this year maybe its my fault for being on the wrong version

[wintry quarry]

I think you want to use this instead:
PlayerControls.PlayerLocomotionMap.SetCallbacks(null);

instead of PlayerControls.PlayerLocomotionMap.RemoveCallbacks(this);

but yeah this would be due to a difference in the input system versions

[devout valley]

ok ok perfect let my try that

is this tutorial just gonna be impossioble becuase of this tho

ik you cant tell straight off the bat but like in general

omggg it works thank you so much

[humble owl]

How do I make a vr game

[wintry quarry]

https://learn.unity.com/course/create-with-vr

[frigid quartz]

I'm making a 2D turn-based card game, and I'm feeling strongly compelled to run the whole game within a GameManager script, like just one long async (yeah?) start function that awaits deal cards, and awaits players' turns. This is a bad idea though right? I've struggled to learn the observer pattern, and my brain doesn't really work like that to compose a complete game, components feel too disconnected for me. I just want to write the game out like a scripted play, all right in front of me on one document.

[wintry quarry]

It will become very difficult and hard to follow/disconnected anyway whenever there are branching possibilities.

To the extent that your game is a linear, uninteractive script, you will get readability benefits.

Otherwise, you will have spaghetti.

[frigid quartz]

Are you saying like, it's just a fact of life that things will become difficult?

So, if the game is already scripted (poker), where the only branches are constricted to a short lifespan, than it's not too terrible to run things in one script, and get readability benefits? That being said, I'm sure there's probably better ways to do it.

[wintry quarry]

I will say that a turn based card game is inherently very complicated yes.

[frigid quartz]

fk yeah it is... haha

[wintry quarry]

I don't think poker would do well with a single script either

[frigid quartz]

Well, I'd only being using the GameManager to call every gameplay related function, should've clarified. But I think that keeps things the same. I just need to figure out how to connect things better and understand things better. Obviously that comes from practice.

Here's my previous grand plan, Right now I'm just doing a simple poker practice run, but I always get stuck at the point where I've dealt the cards and need to start actually playing the turns

The idea behind using extra Scriptables than I really need to was so that I could serialize them, once I set up cloud save.

anyway, thanks for the advice

[tawdry agate]

I want to move my player with a charancerController and I use the Move() method for that, but I noticed that when I stop pressing W for example the player still moves a bit and only stops after a quick delay

[wintry quarry]

Probably due to your code using GetAxis or something similar

GetAxis has built in smoothing

[tawdry agate]

so better use getButtonDown?

[wintry quarry]

No

GetAxisRaw

[tawdry agate]

is there a GetAxisRaw("Jump")?

[wintry quarry]

The parameter is your own of course

There's a GetAxisRaw

I wouldn't recommend things that don't exist. I'm not ChatGPT

[tawdry agate]

is there a built in parameter for pressing space bar for GetAxisRaw? like there is for Horizontal or Vertical? I think not cause you get a float and not a boolean back right?

[lethal elbow]

I guess I'm back with my problem again. This is where I got to last time. I've added AddRelativeForce instead of just AddForce but no difference. For context, I have a problem with my arrow shooting sideways if the character isn't facing towards either direction of the x axis

[wintry quarry]

For jumping you would be using GetButtonDown. For movement it's an axis

[tawdry agate]

ok thx

[wintry quarry]

You're getting confused. None of that is related to the functions themselves, but how you set the axis up in the input manager

[raw token]

Share your current code?

[lethal elbow]

        if (Input.GetButtonDown("Fire1"))
        {
            
            GameObject Arrow = Instantiate(projectile, transform.position, transform.rotation);
            Arrow.GetComponent<Rigidbody>().AddRelativeForce(transform.forward * launchVelocity, ForceMode.Force);

        }  

[rocky canyon]

🍀 good luck mate.. its pretty simple.. he's spawning his arrow and its always facing global forward

[tawdry agate]

I just thought it wouldnt be smart to handle pressing space bar like this cause there are only 2 states: pressed and not pressed, not like the Axis, cause theres -1, 0 and 1

[rocky canyon]

if u use AddRelativeForce() you need to use Vector3.forward

[lethal elbow]

prefab is sorted as per last time as well

[rocky canyon]

if ur using AddForce() you need to use transform.forward

the prefabs transform.forward not the spawner's forward

same video as last time 🙂 lol

[wintry quarry]

Yes you would handle Jump with GetButton and Horizontal/Vertical with GetAxis/GetAxisRaw

[raw token]

transform.forward is relative to the spawning object. AddRelativeForce() applies the force relative to the arrow's orientation, which is already facing the same direction as the spawning object.

Imagine that your character is facing a bearing of 45 degrees. Your code would instantiate the arrow to face 45 degrees, then apply a force pointed 45 degrees from where it's facing - so towards 90 degrees

(or 0 degrees? one or the other 👀 )

[wintry quarry]

But note all of these names are determined by your InputManager settings @tawdry agate

[rocky canyon]

        if (Input.GetButtonDown("Fire1"))
        {
            
            GameObject Arrow = Instantiate(projectile, transform.position, transform.rotation);
            Arrow.GetComponent<Rigidbody>().AddRelativeForce(Vector3.forward * launchVelocity, ForceMode.Force);
        }  
``` or ```cs
        if (Input.GetButtonDown("Fire1"))
        {
            
            GameObject Arrow = Instantiate(projectile, transform.position, transform.rotation);
            Arrow.GetComponent<Rigidbody>().AddForce(Arrow.transform.forward * launchVelocity, ForceMode.Force);
        }  

^ both of these would propel the arrow on its forward axis (Z, Blue)

[lethal elbow]

Ah well all I can say is thank you because the suggestions worked.

[lethal elbow]

Is there anyway I should have known that if you didn't explain that except documentation?

[wintry quarry]

I mean the main problem here is pretty simple but you need to understand that:

• transform.forward is a world space direction vector
• AddRelativeForce expects a local space direction vector

but yeah you would only know that by being familiar with those things before or reading documentation

it's a good idea to read the documentation when you are using an unfamiliar thing.

[lethal elbow]

I understand that part which is why I changed it to addrelativeforce

[wintry quarry]

Which part? If you understood it then you would realize it's not right

[lethal elbow]

I didn't get my point across haha, I meant I should have read the documentation because I wouldn't have used transform.forward instead of vector3.forward

I don't think I got it across, ignore this confused man 🤣

[rocky canyon]

common issue when first learning how to use physics engine..

i typically swapped around all the time..

normal -> relative, transform -> vector

once u get familiar w/ it u know what to use and when

theres also things you'll learn about AddForce vs rb.velocity =

and then forcemodes..

Impulse, Force, Acceleration, VelocityChange etc

[raw token]

It'll become more intuitive with practice, and as you empirically see the effects of things :)

[rocky canyon]

tbh, i made the mistake of not catching this.. you were using transform.forward but that was the gameobjects forward.. (not the actual arrows)

[wintry quarry]

won't it be the same here?

since it's instantiated with transform.rotation as the rotation?

[rocky canyon]

well, if his spawner was rotated 180 degree's or something

it'd be bakwards right?

if he's using the spawners (forward) and not the arrows forward.. but yea i see what u mean

since he's matching the rotation

[wintry quarry]

I'm saying transform.forward and Arrow.transform.forward are guaranteed to be the same

yeah

[rocky canyon]

mmhmm

just giving him a headsup.. incase it wasn't the same..

for future stuff.. (thats why i mentioned the other day. i like to run my physics on the projectil itself..)

[lethal elbow]

Yeah it seemed to be more trial and error for me instead of understanding it. Not good practice haha

[rocky canyon]

yea, nothing wrong with that..

trial and error is a really good way to learn

if someone tells you to wear ur seatbelt.. you may or may not listen..
if u get into a car crash while not wearing one.. you might be more likely to buckle up next time..

(having first hand experience of what its like w/o it) ;D

point being.. its more important to you.. when u figure it out urself..

than just being told

[lethal elbow]

I guess it becomes common sense the more you're used to the environment

[rocky canyon]

lol, and no worries.. i still have to swap between the two

even after several years of learning.. sometimes u just pick the wrong one lol

[lethal elbow]

Would you say it's better to learn programming while making just projects or maybe doing projects and tutorials on the side? (as in tutorials that show good practice etc)

[rocky canyon]

doing both. + reading and searching documentation for things that are new to you

[lethal elbow]

I've been doing programming for years but I never seem to get anywhere because I'm never consistent so I always end up becoming a beginner again and end up doing tutorials (then getting bored)

[rocky canyon]

ya, tutorials are boring.. its not really fun until u start creating things on ur own

but theres always pros and cons.. if ur only following a tutorial.. odds are you wont come across errors or stuff that you can't figure out

but if ur doing things on your own.. sometimes its a PITA to figure out why its not acting the way you want it to..

[rocky canyon]

just make a goal.. and be sure to finish that goal..

[mint remnant]

Having soem weirdness with profiler, it's like reporting code executed in the caller class and not heirarchically in the subordinate class.
I have no BeginSample() calls in the World class, yet it shows parts of the Chunk class under it. And not sure why Mesh.Physics.Bak is showing under both.

https://gyazo.com/2694e83126bf6d46a763b20d06897601

[lethal elbow]

I have a goal in mind and I aim to finish it this time 🙂

Now I need to actually use an arrow and make it shoot like an arrow

That's for another day though, Thank you for the help @rocky canyon, @raw token and @wintry quarry

[rocky canyon]

de nada mi amigo

twas alot easier fix today than the other day

[lethal elbow]

I don't know why it was, I don't think I changed anything except addrelativeforce 😭

Maybe loads of prep before hand reason being

[mint remnant]

Typical, typing it all up and stepping back and looking at it, I now see why profilrer is doing what it's doing, and and it's doing exactly what I told it to do lol

[grave forge]

how do i import assets from the asset store to my project again

[languid spire]

package manager, fyi this server is NOT a Google subsittute

I know this isnt the right place but does anyone know why all the sprites go missing when I run the game on my some of game objects?

[rare socket]

Upon building and running my project, my camera is quite jittery, movement is slower, and scripted animations jitter. Anyone know what could be causing this or what is happening?

[slender nymph]

there are several things wrong here

1. in your PlayerCam class don't multiply mouse input by deltaTime. mouse input is already frame rate independent so doing that multiplication just leads to stuttery camera controls
2. in that same class you are updating the camera's position and rotation, this should be done in LateUpdate or else it will appear to stutter if it updates before the object it is supposed to be focusing on
3. same for your CameraMovement class (if that's supposed to be updating the camera's position, it isn't quite clear)

[slender nymph]

[grave forge]

The hdrp channel :💀

[slender nymph]

this is a code channel

but like with every material issue, you need to make sure that the materials on those objects are using shaders designed for your render pipeline

[queen adder]

how can I stop my object if a certain condition is met the way I am moving is _verticalInput = Input.GetAxis("Vertical"); transform.Translate(Vector3.up * _verticalInput * _speed * Time.deltaTime);

[polar acorn]

Wrap that in an if statment to see if you should be moving right now

[queen adder]

not sure I understand

here is basically the core of my code

        transform.Translate(Vector3.up * _verticalInput * _speed * Time.deltaTime);

        if(_camBottom.y < 0.0)
        {
            Debug.Log("Bottom right hit screen bounds");
        } else if (_camTop.y > 1.0)
        {
            Debug.Log("Top right hit screen bounds");
        }```

[polar acorn]

If you only want to move when some condition is met, put the movement code inside an if statement that checks for that condition

[queen adder]

no its the opposite I want to stop it when a condition is met

[polar acorn]

Which is just "only move when a condition is met" but the condition is that, but flipped

[raw token]

"Not moving when condition" is the same as "moving when not condition"

[jagged vapor]

i have an isometric camera and a canvas positioned to cover the screen with some text. i also have a click event for game objects. if i try to click an object that is below the text it doesnt register the click. how can i fix this by still making buttons clickable?

[queen adder]

thanks not sure why but that really confused me it seemed backwards to me

I just switched the if statement to be the opposite

        {
            transform.Translate(Vector3.up * _verticalInput * _speed * Time.deltaTime);
        }```

so if it is in range move

[mint remnant]

Are you using a raycast to dectect both? if so there are variations on the raycast to detect multiple hits

[jagged vapor]

no, im just using the default button behaviour

[wintry quarry]

if i try to click an object that is below the text it doesnt register the click
Isn't this a good thing?

Or wait you want text to be click-through-able but not buttons?

You can just set the Raycast Target thing to false for anything you want to be able to click through

[mint remnant]

a screen shot might go along way here

[jagged vapor]

yeah

[jagged vapor]

That's what i thought but i cant find it on the TMpro

[wintry quarry]

It's there. Under extra settings possibly

It might also be called "blocks Raycast"?

        }
    }
}

[slender nymph]

let me guess, the AudioSource is on the same gameobject as this component?

[warm raptor]

yes why ?

[slender nymph]

because you are destroying that gameobject

how can the audiosource play sound if the audiosource no longer exists?

[warm raptor]

oh ok ! what's the best way to do then (I got an idea but I think it's terrible 😅 )

[slender nymph]

put your audio source on a different gameobject that doesn't get destroyed or use something like AudioSource.PlayClipAtPoint which will spawn a new audio source for the duration of the clip you play

[warm raptor]

oh thx I didn't know AudioSource.PlayClipAtPoint exist and I already love this thing 😆

tryna make an enemy follow the player, but it vibrates than goes through the ground

[summer stump]

Use Debug.DrawRay to make sure the raycast is going the right direction, and definitely move away from using transform movement for players. Look into the CharacterController or a rigidbody

Oh, missed the Gizmos.DrawRay. I assume you verified the raycast then?

[wintry quarry]

Moving your object with Transform.position isn't going to respect physics

[silk fossil]

alr ima add a rigid body to my thing

[silk fossil]

idk ima see

[wintry quarry]

It's not enough to just have a Rigidbody, you also need to move the object via the Rigidbody

[silk fossil]

ya, also should I add rigid body and colider to the empty or the child 3d object of the empty

or does it not matter?

[summer stump]

It needs to be on the parent, the same object you move

So likely the empty? Not sure about the hierarchy. Assuming that is Monster?

[silk fossil]

Monster is an empty

alr tnx guys

using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;

public class MonsterBehaviour : MonoBehaviour
{
    public float walkSpeed;
    public float jumpHeight;
    public float gravity;

    public Transform groundCheck;
    public float groundDistance = 0.4f;

    public Transform player;

    private Rigidbody rb;
    private bool isGrounded;

    // Start is called before the first frame update
    void Start()
    {
        // Find the player in the scene by tag (assuming the player has a tag "Player")
        player = GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag("Player").transform;

        // Get the Rigidbody component
        rb = GetComponent<Rigidbody>();
    }

    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update()
    {
        // Perform a raycast downward from the monster's groundCheck position to check if it is grounded
        RaycastHit hit;
        isGrounded = Physics.Raycast(groundCheck.position, Vector3.down, out hit, groundDistance);

        if (isGrounded && rb.velocity.y < 0)
        {
            rb.velocity = new Vector3(rb.velocity.x, -2f, rb.velocity.z);
        }

        // Calculate the direction to the player
        Vector3 direction = (player.position - transform.position).normalized;
        Vector3 move = direction * walkSpeed * Time.deltaTime;

        // Move the monster towards the player using Rigidbody
        rb.MovePosition(rb.position + new Vector3(move.x, 0, move.z));

        // Apply gravity manually if needed
        rb.velocity += new Vector3(0, gravity * Time.deltaTime, 0);
    }

    private void OnDrawGizmosSelected()
    {
        // Visualize the raycast for ground check in the Scene view
        Gizmos.color = Color.red;
        Gizmos.DrawRay(groundCheck.position, Vector3.down * groundDistance);
    }
}

the rigid body solved everything

it works now

without breaking the laws of physics

tnx

[silk fossil]

ya it is verified

was

wait why is saying "*" + "was" blocked from the server

[summer stump]

Uh, you have a MovePosition call AND setting velocity

MovePosition is for kinematic bodies for the most part

Is this gpt generated code?

[silk fossil]

Yes

[silk fossil]

okay ill remove it

[summer stump]

Ok, that is why it is not super good. Some oddities I did not understand
I STRONGLY recommend never using gpt for code

[silk fossil]

ya ik it is just the first game i ever made so i just wanted to use gpt

too lazy for tutorial

[silk fossil]

Response to Aethenosity:
You can acknowledge the feedback and explain the improvements made:
"Thanks for the feedback, Aethenosity. I've updated the script to only use velocity for movement and gravity, and removed any conflicting logic. Your insights were very helpful!"

This should provide a more straightforward and physics-friendly approach for moving the monster and handling ground detection, aligning with best practices and ensuring proper behavior in Unity.

[raw token]

It'll give you some bits which work, sometimes. But without experience, neither you nor ChatGPT will be able to weave those bits into a coherent piece of software

[eternal needle]

are you really using gpt to respond as well

[silk fossil]

😭

It was only that message

[summer stump]

It will take a lot longer and more effort to use gpt

Because it will give you shit that you need to fix and eventually rewrite

It is also against server rules to get help with gpt code

[eternal needle]

well simply put, if you're too lazy to learn now then you wont ever do it later. Just another person that we'll see quit game dev

[silk fossil]

You think tutorials better?

[silk fossil]

whoops i didet know

[eternal needle]

it should be quite obvious. whats better
learning how to code and learning what you're doing
or
copying a spam generator and directly pasting in the code

[silk fossil]

ok

[silk fossil]

true

ill watch a tutorial for npc jumping then ig

[summer stump]

Gpt is worse than just stumbling around trying to figure it out in your own.
Can't think of anything worse than gpt for learning code

[queen adder]

Hello everyone. I need help. How to correctly write in code to disable an element using a trigger? For example, when a player approaches something, Box Collider2D turns off and if there is an enemy, it turns on.

[teal viper]

There is an OnTriggerEnter2D MonoBehaviour message that is called when a rigidbody enters a trigger collider. Look it up.

[queen adder]

        if(other.tag == "Player"){
           
        }
    }```

but i don't know how correctly disabled on this object collider

[teal viper]

colliderReference.enabled = false

[wintry quarry]

whateverThing.enabled = false;

[queen adder]

boxCollider.enabled = false;``` this ok?

[vocal wharf]

I'm having a slight problem. I am making an endless runner game with 3 different obstacles that spawn at a slightly variating interval and I want the code to randomly choose 1 of the 3 obstacles to spawn when the method is invoked. I did this by generating a new random number every time the method is invoked and checking if it is either 1, 2, or 3, and depending on the number, it will spawn different obstacles. This is working for 2 of my obstacles but not the third one for some reason. I have all of them assigned in the inspected. Can someone help?

[teal viper]

Assuming the reference is assigned properly, yes.

[wintry quarry]

if it's private you will need to make sure it gets assigned in your code somehow

[wintry quarry]

you should learn to use an array

but - Random.Range(1, 3) can only give you 1 or 2

[vocal wharf]

wait what? I thought it's 1, 2, or 3?

[raw token]

The float version is inclusive of the max, the int version excludes it
(presumably for ease of use with collections, whose length is always one greater than the index of the last item)

[teal viper]

This is mentioned in the docs.

[wintry quarry]

Nope

read the docs

[vocal wharf]

but this is a float

[wintry quarry]

Anyway with arrays look how much simpler it would be:

public class ObstacleSpawner : MonoBehaviour
{
    public GameObject[] obstaclePrefabs;
    public Transform obstacleSpawner;
    public float startDelay = 1f;
    float spawnInterval;
    void Start()
    {
        Invoke("spawnObstacle", startDelay);
    }

    void spawnObstacle()
    {
        Instantiate(obstaclePrefabs[Random.Range(0, obstaclePrefabs.Length)], obstacleSpawner);
        Invoke("spawnObstacle", Random.Range(1f, 2f));
    }
}```

[wintry quarry]

your variable is a float but the Random.Range call doesn't care or know about that

it only knows that you passed in two ints

Also with a float it will never be == 1 == 2 etc

it will be like 1.324423

[vocal wharf]

oohh so I have to put the letter f after the numbers in random.range

[wintry quarry]

yes but that's not going to make your code work

it will break it in a different way

[vocal wharf]

how

[wintry quarry]

I just explained

[wintry quarry]

right here

I highly recommend learning to use arrays here, it will simplify your code greatly

[vocal wharf]

ok I guess I'll look up a video on arrays

[wintry quarry]

videos are usually not the best learning tools for coding... in my opinion

[vocal wharf]

For some reason I thought random.range returns an integer

[wintry quarry]

It does

when you pass in integers

Have you read the documentation for it?

[vocal wharf]

no

what documentation

[wintry quarry]

....the unity documentation, for Random.Range

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Random.Range.html

[vocal wharf]

oh that

[wintry quarry]

"That" contains all the information you need.

[raw token]

This lesson from from the Junior Programmer Pathway also briefly covers spawning random things from an array - though it builds on some knowledge of and experience with arrays and such from earlier units.

[vocal wharf]

@wintry quarry I learned how arrays work and I have to admit it is easier and it works well

[steep rose]

how can i get the opposite of a negative number?

[slender nymph]

multiply it by -1?

or do you mean you want to get a number's absolute value? because that would just be Mathf.Abs

[steep rose]

i have a vector and i need to apply a force opposite to that but it can be negative.

i just need the opposite of whatever it is

at that time

[slender nymph]

mulitply it by -1

1 * -1 == -1 and -1 * -1 == 1 so it always produces the opposite. and to get the opposite of a Vector3 you also just multiply it by -1

[tawny eagle]

Hello can someone help me plz, i have my project where my play spawn and can move between tiles but i want to convert this in a endless runner but when i adjust the mouse controller to move automatically my player gets stuck in a tile and dont move and dont respond to controller:

[mint remnant]

spawn the new areas ahead of where the playre is, not when he gets right on top of them

[tawny eagle]

Hmm let me try

[mint remnant]

create a viewDistance, then calculate a small grid of distances to ficticious spots where a grid would land and if in range you spawn them, then loop over ones that already exist and despawn ones that went out of veiwer distance

https://gyazo.com/7ea3972a90ada0e2636ed46e533bf37e
It's quite a bit of work to get it all setup, but once its done it works great, you get areas in the direction spawning and trailing ones despawning. Which can be taxing if not optimized. I suggest using an object pool for the areas to avoid the alooc overhead

[tawny eagle]

Hmm, isnt what i was thinking

I was trying to do something simple like this web game, you think its to difficult for a begginer?

[tawny eagle]

The idea is the player move an the tiles from the back dissapear and appear from the front

[mint remnant]

well if your player is getting stuck when a tile spawns in, you are probably not spawning it early, but rather late

the concept is still the same even if the scale is smaller

[raw token]

I'm not terribly clear on what the issue was...

when i adjust the mouse controller to move automatically my player gets stuck in a tile and dont move and dont respond to controller

So it was working fine before you "adjusted the mouse controller to move automatically?"

Is the code you shared after you've made the change? Which method did you change?

[tawny eagle]

Yes, the way it works before is that you can use the mouse to clik a tile or the keyboard to move to another tile, and it generate the tiles as the player moves, buy iwant it to move automatically, but as soon as i program the automatic move it gets stuck in that tile a no matter what i do it get stuck

The only way i get it working is by simulating a constant right input, but this blocks the other controls

Excuse my bad english...

[raw token]

No worries 🙃

[tawny eagle]

I was also thinking in not move the player but the terrain simulating a treadmill but idk if thats more difficult

[raw token]

I don't see any code in here for movement without mouse or keyboard input, except SimulateRightInput()... But I am confused because you said that SimulateRightInput() works... But you said earlier that your changes cause the player to be stuck and not move at all?

So does SimulateRightInput() work except for the ability to move in other directions, or does it cause your player to sit in place and not move at all?

[tawny eagle]

Oh maybe i send it wrong

Yes simualdted input makes the effect i want witch is basically that the player moves in the right direction constanlty as the world keep generating

But i dont know how to move it without simulating the input tile by tile

I have and script in the grid call mapmanager that ensures this kind of movement:

https://gdl.space/jesakamexi.cs

But like i said i haven't found a good tutorial on this, there isn't a lot of info

[brazen canyon]

Hello

Excuse me

[mint remnant]

looks like you already have the spawn around in a view distance thing in three, how is the player getting stuck? Are you spawning a tale in on top of hime?

[brazen canyon]

Why does this error occurs ?
"Failed to create agent because there is no valid NavMesh"

[raw token]

I think what I might do is make direction and previousDirection class fields. I'd create an UpdatePath() method which would determine a path from the direction (like how it's currently done at the end of HandleKeyboardInput()).

If the player presses a directional key, update direction. If the player clicks somewhere, update direction.

Each frame, if path.Count is 0 or direction != previousDirection, then UpdatePath(). Then set previousDirection = direction.

This way, you always have an intended direction from which to calculate a new path, and all the input does is change the direction. And better - a new path is only calculated if the direction changes or the player reaches the end of the path

[tawny eagle]

That’s sound like a good way to try, thanks you so so much, I’m really struggling cause of the lack of information, but know you point me in the right direction or at least one, I will try to do that

Hopefully it will work

I’ll let u know

Let me try

Thks :)

[raw token]

I know nothing about navagent stuff, but suggests that your agent may not be close enough to/touching the navmesh 👀

[half egret]

That's usually the case, when instantiating the agent I usually raycast down to the navmesh for the transform to make sure they're actually on it.

[tawny eagle]

Hey it works :)

[raw token]

Epic!!!

[tawny eagle]

Now it constantly moves on the direction and it change when you make and input, the terrain glitch a little bit strange but that could be fixed

Now I only need to make the movement always right and thats it :)

Thk u so so much

``` how do i make PlayerRotation and PlayerRotationX update all the time

[summer stump]

Put it in update? Not behind the conditions

[native hill]

oh okay, thank you ill try that

ill just make PlayerRotationX a variable so i dont get an error, thank you

[sweet sierra]

Is this acceptable:

highScore = PlayerPrefs.GetInt("highScore", 0);

I heard/read that PlayerPrefs is more suitable for settings or user preferences but... I just have to store the High Score 🤷.
Or should I read from a txt file from dataPath?

[mint remnant]

try both, see if one has issues?

[summer stump]

I mean, if all you need is a highscore, then playerprefs is fine. As long as you only have one "profile" or user

I pretty much just always just custom files, usually Json, because it is about just as easy and way more flexible

[sweet sierra]

Yeah so the game is based on local storage. Lemme show you..

For currency and level accessibility, I've used text files.

[summer stump]

Wait, so if you are using custom files already, why even consider player prefs?
It is just another text file but stored poorly and inflexible

[sweet sierra]

That's why I asked 🫠. I'm also using PlayerPrefs for sensitivity value

[summer stump]

Basically the only reason to use playerprefs is if you don't know how to use json or binary serialization and don't want to take the half hour to learn imo

[sweet sierra]

Got it. I guess I'll store in a text file too then

[void thicket]

PlayerPrefs is, as the name, for player preferences not save data

[sweet sierra]

@summer stump Alright so for now... I'm doing this with all my persistent data:

filePath = Path.Combine(Application.dataPath, "HighScore.txt");

if (!File.Exists(filePath))
{
    File.WriteAllText(filePath, "0");
}

highScore = int.Parse(File.ReadAllText(filePath));

if (score > highScore)
{
  File.Write(filePath, score); 
}

Is that good enough?

[sweet sierra]

Yes I fixed that now. Only using PlayerPrefs to store sensitivity

[void thicket]

I think you'd want little more complex data type than that 🤔

[sweet sierra]

Such as?

[void thicket]

Think about what other data you'd want to store? High score per stages? Clear time? Exp? Idk

[sweet sierra]

I only need HighScore 🤷

At this point, I only have to store 3 things : High Score, Currency, LevelAccessibility

That's it

Or I'd have used something like a database idk

I used to use SQLite in AppDev

[tiny plaza]

hey i'm having a hard time untangling my code can someone help please?

[sweet sierra]

I can try. What's the issue?

[tiny plaza]

well i think it's better if u see the mess yourself

[sweet sierra]

Ok so... The first if can be simplified by:

isStanding = (!isJumping && !isCrouching && !isGrounded);

But... why !isGrounded? 👀

[teal viper]

Aside from the while loop looks fine to be honest.

[languid spire]

that while statement is an infinite loop

[sweet sierra]

Right...

[tiny plaza]

is grounded and is jumping are different

[tiny plaza]

it's to not move while attacking

[sweet sierra]

Got it. So yeah change the while to an if I guess. Since it's already in update

No. In update, just use if it will do the same thing as it's checking every frame

While loop will put it in an infinite cycle or... just memory inefficient cycle every frame

[languid spire]

Doesn't matter why it is there, as soon as the code goes in it will never come out and your game will freeze

[tiny plaza]

thanks i'll change that

[teal viper]

This is not how you do it. By blocking the execution in the loop you never let your attack finish(or any of the other code at all).

[sweet sierra]

I actually made that mistake in my first days 😭😂

But after that, just developed the logic that it's checking every frame so Update is already a loop 🌝

[tiny plaza]

but it finnish because is attacking is being controlled by this

but i'm changing it since it's inefficient anyway

[languid spire]

that code will never run once the while starts

[tiny plaza]

then is while useless or when do u use it (i'm really sorry if it's basic i'm new to dev in general)

[languid spire]

while is, generally only useful in a Coroutine. In your case you just need to change while to if because FixedUpdate is already a loop

[tiny plaza]

ohh i see i guess it's a dumb on my part to use a loop on a loop haha

[languid spire]

basically if you ever write a while loop and it does not contain a yield statement you are doing something wrong

[tiny plaza]

i'll keep that in mind thank you

[void thicket]

I mean.. while is useful when state is changing within the loop,
No need to generally avoid it, just know that it is blocking your control flow

[umbral rock]

do u guys think a game like roblox or fortnite will destroy gamedevelopment bcs u can make ur own games within that game and everyone would be able to do it so gamedevelopment would no longer be rewarded?

[teal viper]

I feel like you've asked that already several days ago.
This is not the correct channel btw.

[glossy turtle]

making a roblox game is a game development 🙂.

[umbral rock]

yes but in roblox u could make any game u want? why not make a roblox game instead of a game in unity

[teal viper]

You can't make "any" game. You're limited a lot by what you can make in it. Especially when it comes to lower level stuff like rendering features and platform compatibility.
You can make any simple game, sure.

But then again, you have ai tools that can make simple games even easier now a days, so Roblox is not gonna last long.

[umbral rock]

hmm yeah, havent rly thought like that lol

your right

[glossy turtle]

example : you cant make a free fire, AAA games using roblox. thats the difference.

[jaunty bay]

on Awake, i want to:

scan across all Spawn objects,
if one has the correct String spawnID,
return that object's transform.

how can i achieve that?

[teal viper]

Loop the objects and check their IDs in the loop. Return the transform of the object with the target I'd.

[jaunty bay]

        foreach (Spawn spawn in spawns)
        {
            if (spawn.spawnId == spawnId)
            {
                return spawn.transform;
            }
        }

will this work?
