y'all think this is a good way to handle movement? I'm making a begginer cube evasion game from brackeys and i thought i would have fun with input, didn't like the multiple if statements on there

I'm following a tutorial that allows me to detect clicks on a Collider Component for 2D, but I plan to use it for 3D objects. Do I need to change anything from this script?: https://hastebin.com/share/ganecuneya.csharp

Or can I keep it as it is without any needed conversions for 3D projects in Unity?

[languid spire]

not sure why you are using a delegate when you can simply do
Dictionary<KeyCode, System.Action>

[mint ingot]

idk chat gpt told me to

so how do you recommend i do it?

[languid spire]

I just told you, and if you are going to use GPT code without checking it you are on your own

[mint ingot]

began yesterday

there's 2 times i call dictionary and y ou tld me to put system.action

[languid spire]

even more reason to check everything via the docs

[mint ingot]

do i put it in both?

private Dictionary<KeyCode, System.Action> movementFunctions;

    void Start()
    {
         movementFunctions = new Dictionary<KeyCode, System.Action>
         {
             [KeyCode.A] = MoveLeft,
             [KeyCode.D] = MoveRight
         };
    }

like this

[languid spire]

that should work although I dont know why you changed the structure you already had

[mint ingot]

well you told me to put System.Action and vscode suggested i simplify it to
{
[KeyCode.A] = MoveLeft,
}

[languid spire]

who is writing this code you or stupid AI's?

[mint ingot]

stupid me

[languid spire]

apparently not

[mint ingot]

so what am I doing wrong here exactly

[languid spire]

what you are doing wrong is not understanding what you are doing

[mint ingot]

yeah I got that

should probably read something up

the issue is I programmed in LUA 5+ years

and all the beginner shit i was doing there are following me to here

and im trying so hard not to lmao

[languid spire]

simple solution, for every line of code that you are not 100% sure you know exactly what it means, go read the relevant docs page

[rough dust]

So I'm trying to make a game that revolves around riding a bike. And the player has the ability to ride it and get off, but how can I look for open places to dismount the player? Like let's say the default dismount side is to the left, 1 unit out. But how can I check if there's a wall there and place the player in an open spot?

[plain abyss]

Can someone help me with code to create a search dropdown in unity which can be used as input, PS:- im new to unity

[languid spire]

Raycast

[opal zealot]

Mostly as I'm following tutorials that were made for 2D Unity Projects, but I'm wondering how to make it work for 3D Unity projects as well.

[rough dust]

    private bool IsAreaClear(Vector3 position, float radius)
    {
        return !Physics.CheckSphere(position, radius, interactableLayer);
    }

    public void DismountBike()
    {
        GetComponent<CharacterController>().enabled = true;
        GetComponent<CapsuleCollider>().enabled = true;
        GetComponent<PlayerMovement>().isRidingBike = false;
        GetComponent<PlayerMovement>().FadeStaminaBar(true);

        Vector3 leftPosition = bike.transform.position - bike.transform.right * 1.25f;
        Vector3 rightPosition = bike.transform.position + bike.transform.right * 1.25f;
        Vector3 frontPosition = bike.transform.position + bike.transform.forward * 2f;

        bool leftIsClear = IsAreaClear(leftPosition, 0.5f);
        bool rightIsClear = IsAreaClear(rightPosition, 0.5f);
        bool frontIsClear = IsAreaClear(frontPosition, 0.5f);

        Vector3 dismountPosition = bike.transform.position;

        if (leftIsClear)
        {
            dismountPosition = leftPosition;
        }
        else if (rightIsClear)
        {
            dismountPosition = rightPosition;
        }
        else if (frontIsClear)
        {
            dismountPosition = frontPosition;
        }

        // Move player to dismount pos and set parent to null
        transform.SetParent(null);
        StartCoroutine(SmoothDismount(dismountPosition));

        bike.GetComponent<BicycleVehicle>().enabled = false;
        bike.GetComponent<BoxCollider>().enabled = true;
        canInteract = true;
        isNearBike = false;

        // Hide interact prompt if it's showing
        ShowPrompt(false);
    }

This is what I've got, but even when there's a wall to my left it phased me into or through the wall

[brave veldt]

I've got a slider that changes value with a controller stick input - left to decrease, right to increase. This happens using UnityEvents and the OnValueChanged event; however, I need the slider to wrap/loop values around when you increase the value at maxvalue, and when you decrease the value and minvalue. It's being a real PITA! Does anybody have any thoughts on how I should approach this?

I could try and write something from scratch, but I don't want to break away from the UnityEvent system because I've got a fairly complicated local-multiplayer controller setup in the scene.

the main issue is that you can't just check if the value is > than maxvalue or < minvalue because the slider won't let you go higher or lower than the min/max

[languid spire]

then you need to Debug, Start with interactableLayer if the Raycast is always failing and check your collider setup

[languid spire]

newValue = currValue + changeValue
if (newValue > maxValue || newValue < minValue)
make your slider have a slightly larger min/max than you actually want

[brave veldt]

I'd probably have to have a check in there to see if currValue is less or greater than changeValue? because i would have to subtract

[languid spire]

changeValue could be positive or negative so add is good

[brave veldt]

Yeah the larger slider value is something I've tried, but because it's attached to an array of gameobjects it throws null reference. I can probably figure something out though. that does seem like the easiest although also hackiest method

[brave veldt]

true

[languid spire]

problem is that slider only reports the new value rather than the changeValue and once you reach the slider min/max it wont report at all, so then you need to allow it to go 'out of bounds'

[brave veldt]

yeah exactly.

I think I may have a solution after talking with you. increasing the min/max value, and adding a check for the array of gameobjects - so it doesn't reference it if the index is the new min/max values.

[tiny plaza]

hey does this become false if the conditions are not met? (sorry idk how to explain it without the screenshot)

[languid spire]

sounds like you are using the slider value as an index so I would do
slider.min = -1
slider.max = array.Length

OnValueChanged(int value)
if (value < 0) value = array.Length-1;
if (value == array.Length) value = 0;
slider.Set(value, false);

[brave veldt]

cheers, that's basically what I've got. Just trying to hammer out the null references now. thanks!

[languid spire]

not quite, you might want & rather than &&

[tiny plaza]

so if i put & then isWalking is true only when both of these are true (and false when not)

[languid spire]

exactly

[short hazel]

It'll also work with &&. The advantage being that && is short-circuiting, meaning that if canWalk is false, it'll not even bother looking at walkDirectionInput != 0 since "false AND anything" results in false, always

[tiny plaza]

I see thanks!

[languid spire]

trouble is if canWalk is true using && will always return true

[tiny plaza]

it wont check for walkDir?

[short hazel]

No, it's &&, not ||

With OR it won't check the right operand if the left one is true, with AND it's the inverse

[languid spire]

of course, silly me, brain not firing on all cylinders

[tiny plaza]

so the most efficient is && ? (sorry my brain is having a hard time after an all nighter of c#)

[languid spire]

yes, if canWalk is false the return will be false, if canWalk is true the return will depend on the result of the second check

[tiny plaza]

thanks and sorry that i keep bothering you with questions

[languid spire]

np, that's what we are here for

[wide raven]

Does anyone know how I can fix the click being stuck after I close the ui

I use IsPointerOverGameObject

[teal viper]

Well, why is it stuck?

What makes it "stuck" in your code?

[wide raven]

I don't know it should not in normal cases but this not the only case it happens so whenever I click something and deactivat the ui it just gets stuck

it spam clicks

infinitely

[quick fractal]

Bit of a simple question but the Unity docs were confusing, if I start a coroutine with WaitForSeconds(3) in it, and call StopCoroutine(), will it stop the countdown and shut the coroutine off or will it continue?

I assume (and hope) it would just stop where it is and cancel the whole thing but coroutines are weird.

[teal viper]

Well, think about it. What does it mean to "spam clicks" or even just to "click" in your code?

[languid spire]

if you are calling StopCoroutine correctly it should stop immediatly after the return from the yield

[quick fractal]

So the countdown would still happen, but nothing after it would?

Or did you mean something else?

[languid spire]

the waitforseconds will expire but then stop

[quick fractal]

Alright great, thank you!

[hot lily]

I'm pretty much running out of ideas how to use the cinemachine camera properly as a 3rd person camera

currently if I turn my mouse around, there will be a delay before the camera changes its rotation such that the playable character is centered

I can turn off the dampening and have it be perfectly centered, but then I lose out stuff like having the character zoom out of screen

[wet bobcat]

I want to get Object Rotation XYZ values as shown in the Inspector sent over OSC/UDP to another application (PureData). My problem is that neither using Euler Angles like this:

`message.address = "/" + gameObject.tag + "/" + gameObject.name + "/EulerXYZ";

    message.values.Add(transform.rotation.eulerAngles.x);
    message.values.Add(transform.rotation.eulerAngles.y);
    message.values.Add(transform.rotation.eulerAngles.z);

    osc.Send(message);`

...or using "quaternion" values like this:

`message = new OscMessage();

    message.address = "/" + gameObject.tag + "/" + gameObject.name + "/QuatXYZW"; //here W was wrongly omitted since it was treated as Euler Angles  

    message.values.Add(transform.rotation.x);
    message.values.Add(transform.rotation.y);
    message.values.Add(transform.rotation.z);
    message.values.Add(transform.rotation.w);

    osc.Send(message);`

The first option sends values 0-360, but they are all modified when x value is changed.

The second gives gives a float between -1 and 1, but it changes direction once it hits -1 or 1.

I am sure there is a good reason for this but how can I adjust the messages to fit my purpose: Get a value 0-360 for xyz for an object depending on where it is facing? Is there another variable to acess from Unity script engine. Or could I make some kind of equation to translate the values?

The player drags objects with the mouse so I think it will be complicated to store the values in the script beforehand, like in this example:
https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Transform-eulerAngles.html
but I am note sure.

Plz help, I need this to work to get further on...

[languid spire]

Question: What are you using the data for in the receiving app?

[plain abyss]

can someone please guide me on how to fix this so that my text is visible

[languid spire]

Assign a TMP Font

[plain abyss]

thanks, i just realised that TMP essentials were not imported properly sorry to bother

[languid spire]

lol, that would have been my next suggestion

[plain abyss]

someone please guide me on if there a way i can use code to set the location of the triangle(target) and circle(player) to either of the squares(LOC1 and LOC2)

[ivory bobcat]

What have you tried?

[plain abyss]

Im new to unity so not sure how to approach it,

[ivory bobcat]

What do you want to happen?

sounds like you need to !learn

yes, in the process

follow the pathways, it will teach you all of this stuff

[plain abyss]

sure thanks, but it would be great if you could help me out to somehow edit gameobject transforms

[languid spire]

Sorry but that is not the way this server works, firstly you should not be asking such basic questions without at least having learned the basics of Unity and secondly, we do not spoonfeed code

[plain abyss]

k, thanks

[wet bobcat]

For sound synthesis. Unity3d is acting like an interactive musical instrument

[languid spire]

I meant what are you actually doing with the rotation data

[eager spindle]

in the way growtopia does it, only one menu can be open at a time. youll need to make a UI Manager that checks if theres a UI menu on screen and instantiates the menu accordingly.

[uncut wolf]

can u help me man?

[eager spindle]

no

what do you need help with

[uncut wolf]

understandable have a great day

[uncut wolf]

cheack #archived-code-general

[wet bobcat]

At the moment I am experimenting, but for example making sound change depending on how a character is facing. I am receiving messages over osc/UDP and then mapping this to parameters of synthesis. I am basically making a new version of this work, an interactive installation:
https://youtu.be/z22s-5poS14?si=RLDlGo3BhIrWr8Hn

[languid spire]

ok, so I dont think eulerAngles or Quaternion values will work for you. What you could try is passing transform.forward which is the front facing direction vector of the player

[wet bobcat]

Can I use transform.forward also for other objects than the Player?

[languid spire]

sure, all transforms have a forward direction

[eager spindle]

theres transform forward, transform up and transform right

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

and a lot of other helpful stuff

[wet bobcat]

cool. Would it give me x and y as well as axis?

[languid spire]

it's a direction vector so contains x,y andz

[wet bobcat]

nice, but up & right does not return current values right? How about using https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Transform.GetPositionAndRotation.html

[wet bobcat]

thanks, time to do some experiments!

[eager spindle]

idk about it not returning current values

[tender wharf]

gamers, all of my sprites are extremely tiny, i have no clue how to fix

well ig scaling fixes them but idk that sounds wrong

[eager spindle]

when using a Sprite renderer, the size of the sprite in the world depend on the actual size of the image.
e.g. if you have a 1000x1000 px image itll be larger than a 100x100 image. you can change this in the image export settings

pixels per unit

to make a 1000x1000x image the same size as a 100x100 image in a sprite renderer, make sure the pixels per unit on the 1000x1000 image is 1000

[tender wharf]

okay so the png in question is 2048 x 2048

I've already tried playing with pixels per unit, but even if i put some absurd value it remains extremely tiny

[eager spindle]

if its tiny its probably cause it's not cropped properly

the empty space around the image will also get taken into account

[tender wharf]

wait

decreasing ppu started increasing the sprite

[eager spindle]

well yes that's correct but you should probably address the fact that your image might not be cropped correctly

[short hazel]

PPU: number of pixels in the sprite that must fit within 1 Unity unit (1 meter) in the scene.
If you have a 16x16px image that you want to fit in one square (think Minecraft textures where 1 block is 16x16), set the PPU to 16

[warm raptor]

hello ! How can I destroy the particule effect when it finish playing ?

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

public class Grenade : MonoBehaviour
{

    [SerializeField] private AudioClip GrenadeSound;
    [SerializeField] private GameObject ExplosionEffect;
    [SerializeField] private float FuseTimer = 4f;
    private float CurrentTime;

    void Start()
    {
        CurrentTime = 0f;
    }

    void Update()
    {
        CurrentTime += Time.deltaTime;

        if (CurrentTime >= FuseTimer)
        {
            AudioSource.PlayClipAtPoint(GrenadeSound, transform.position);
            Instantiate(ExplosionEffect, transform.position, transform.rotation);
            Destroy(gameObject);
        }
    }
}

[short hazel]

There's an option on the particle system directly, under the first module.
Set "Stop Action" to "Destroy" and it'll destroy the whole object when no more particles are rendered.

[warm raptor]

Thx ! 😁

[vestal adder]

i dont get the point of read only properties because it says that they are for exposing a value to other scripts without letting the other scripts modify it but you could just not modify it with other scripts

[wintry quarry]

It's to prevent you from modifying it by accident

or another developer who doesn't know you're not supposed to modify it might modify it

[vestal adder]

okay i see

is there some way that you can accidentally modify it

[wintry quarry]

One good example is List.Count

you wouldn't want to modify List.Count by accident

but adding elements with .Add or removing elements with .Remove will modify the count properly

If you were able to directly modify the Count property then it could get out of sync with the number of elements actually in the list, which could be really bad.

[wintry quarry]

The point of not providing a setter for the property is that you can't, no.

[formal sable]

Hey guys! What's going on? I think I will come back here very often 🙂

So... There is a problem. I activate the notes lying on the floor. The first note is fine with it, I close it by clicking on the button, and as soon as I open the other two notes, they close with a space, and I don't know how to remove it

[slender nymph]

show code

[steep rose]

we will need to see code then

[queen adder]

Hi chat, I'm a very beginner here, may I ask the difference between the line:

• "if (Input.GetKeyDown ("a")) { "
• "if (Input.GetKey (KeyCode.A)) {"
• "if (Input.GetKeyUp (myKey)) {"

[formal sable]

https://hatebin.com/awdnrjqpwu

[slender nymph]

how big is the collider? because you close it in OnTriggerExit

[formal sable]

like cube

[ivory breach]

How do I make my enemy plane rotate towards the smaller plane by z axis only to rotate it like this?

[formal sable]

but it's not a trigger, it's an action when I close the note

a error occurs during this action

[slender nymph]

if you have an error then you need to actually say that. and provide details about the error

don't just expect everyone to read your mind and instantly know you have some error you've not shown or mentioned

[polar acorn]

GetKeyDown is pressed
GetKey is held
GetKeyUp is released

[formal sable]

no-no-no. Not error... I mean the fact that the note is hidden through a space is a visual error, not in the unity itself

[slender nymph]

and i will say again that you are closing the note in OnTriggerExit. so if the player exits the trigger when it jumps then it will close the note

[queen adder]

Thank you, that is very simple but helpful for me. Added to note

[formal sable]

While reading the note, the player should not move at all, what happens while reading the note with the numbers "111", I press the space bar there - nothing happens, but in another note with the numbers "222", when you press the space bar (only the space bar, the note does not apply to other keys), the note closes

[slender nymph]

put some logs in your code to find out what is actually happening

[formal sable]

Okay... Wait a minute

[sour linden]

Hey,
I'm trying to access a Script from another namespace but Unity doesn't recognize neither the namespace nor the class I'm trying to get a reference to. They both are monobehaviours and attached to gameobjects, so they both do exist and work but why doesn't unity recogniye the one namespace in the other? Here are the class and the method where I want to reference the class.
Thanks for any help ^^

[slender nymph]

that's not a useful log

[polar acorn]

Do you have assembly definitions in your project? If so, you probably need to ensure whatever assembly the second script belongs to has a reference to the assembly the first one is in.

[sour linden]

Thank you. I'll take a look

[formal sable]

What is missing?

[slender nymph]

how about literally anything useful being logged

you are hyperfocused on this being an issue with the spacebar somehow, but your code literally has nothing to do with the spacebar, it just happens that the spacebar is making the player leave the trigger area

[formal sable]

I'll report this way...

As I said, during the reading, no keys react. While reading, I specifically pressed the space bar to make it clear that I was pressing this key.

Further, while reading the second note, I also pressed the space bar, this time the note disappeared, the character jumped, and also this jump was not counted in the console

yes, I'm hyperfocused on the space bar, because the other keys don't react in any way, but the space bar itself reacts and it's unclear why.

I can also send the traffic code if necessary.

[summer stump]

Why not just log something useful?
Ignore the space bar for now

[slender nymph]

alright, if you don't want to bother putting any useful logs in your code to find out why this is happening, then i'm not going to bother continuing this conversation

[formal sable]

What should I do?

[slender nymph]

logging the phrase "space bar active" when you press the spacebar is not useful here at all. it's already fucking obvious you are pressing the spacebar. you need to log what is actually happening in the code that is causing it to close the fucking note

[formal sable]

How?

[summer stump]

Logging values, in multiple places, especially OnTriggerExit

[slender nymph]

why don't you spend more than half a second thinking about what i've already told you and then think about where logs might be useful in your code

[tender wharf]

so i'm using a camera for my minimap, set the camera only to show the "Road" layer

now is it possible to make gray area transparent

[slender nymph]

this is a code channel

[tender wharf]

nvm, i found out im dumb, you just need to set clear flags to solid color

[sour linden]

Thank you, that was the issue. It's working now

[outer cloak]

I need help with an error

[cosmic dagger]

don't ask to ask, just ask . . .

[outer cloak]

I keep getting a message that says “gradle build failed” and when I go to the console it says pb_mesh-142988 clone mesh must have at least one non degenerate triangle to be a valid mesh collider

I watched a ton of YouTube videos

None worked

[fickle plume]

@outer cloak don't cross-post. Pick one channel.

[outer cloak]

ok

[ivory breach]

I'm still struggling with the script for making the plane look at the player, please help

This is the script I'm using for the enemy's rotation (and movement)

[wintry quarry]

the code is mostly fine (although you should use _rb.rotation and _rb.position instead of transform.rotation and transform.position)

the problem is that your renderer is not laid out properly on the object

Show your airplane object, selected, in scene view, with the Tool Handle Rotation set to "local"

[ivory breach]

Like this?

[wintry quarry]

yes

[ivory breach]

This is what the plane looks like

[wintry quarry]

show it with the move tool selected

[wintry quarry]

The blue arrow should be facing forward. The yellow arrow up, the red arrow to the right

See how you have it with yellow forward and blue down?

GIven the direction of the arrows, the code is working perfectly

you have to just fix your object here

the best way to do that is to go back into Blender and re-export the model with the proper settings/rotation for Unity

[ivory breach]

@wintry quarry Although it works now, it still does not exactly give the results I want

[wintry quarry]

it still does not exactly give the results I want
And what results would those be?

[rich adder]

at least now it looks at your player correctly lol

[ivory breach]

I want the plane to look at the player in one axis only, like in this picture

[wintry quarry]

ok well that's a totally different/new question

[cosmic dagger]

that's not the same thing you asked before . . .

[ivory breach]

Wdym?

[wintry quarry]

you want thje top of the plane to always face the camera?

[wintry quarry]

Just saying we solved your first question, now you're asking something different

[rich adder]

“Just when you think you know the answers, I change the questions.”

[ivory breach]

Sorry, I just wanted to know how I can make the enemy look at the player in one axis without affecting the others

[wintry quarry]

you'll want to do var rotation = Quaternion.LookRotation(heading, Vector3.back); if I understand your question correctly.

[ivory breach]

In this case, x axis

[wintry quarry]

this looks more like y axis

[wintry quarry]

if you meant this picture

it's rotating on its own y axis

[ivory breach]

It's rotating on x axis when I try to rotate with the green circle somehow

[wintry quarry]

if you're talking about the numbers in the inspector, those are irrelevant

Euler angles are not unique

[ivory breach]

I see

Alright, your answer DID work, but I would like to know more on what Vector3.back did to rotate the plane like that

[wintry quarry]

Look at the second parameter for LookRotation https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Quaternion.LookRotation.html

It's the "up" direction of the resulting rotation

You wanted the Up direction to always be facing at (0, 0, -1) world direction which is what Vector3.back is

so we're just creating a rotation where forward is heading and up is (0, 0, -1)

which is what you asked for

if you don't provide an up parameter to LookRotation (as you had originally) it defaults to the world up direction

hence your plane doing the things it was doing before, keeping the top of the plane upwards.

[ivory breach]

I should experiment with the parameters to learn more about LookRotation

[wintry quarry]

sure

you can think of it this way

when you want an object to look at something, there's still 360 degrees of freedom where you can look at the thing but still roll around (like a bullet rolling as it flies forward)

the "up" parameter locks in which angle in that 360 degress of freedom to use.

[ivory breach]

this is a pretty minor issue i understand. However when i am using the unity editor i notice it is lower fps than normal, compared to other windows on my pc. For exmple moving my mouse around feels like its 60 fps instead of the 160 it should be. Is there a way to uncap the fps?

[rich adder]

how do you know for sure your FPS is capped? did you use profiler or stats in unity

[queen adder]

it just "feels" like it. If there is a way to show the numbers lemme know

[rich adder]

profiler and such

"feels" is not a realistic measurement lol

you have to know why

[queen adder]

ok i understand

my editor is capped at 33 fps i think

according to profiler

[harsh dew]

Okay so i have a box collider which starts an audiosource, now i want to have subtitles showing up in your screen, i have a script and put the textmeshprougui in but its not showing for some reason

this is the script for the subtitlemanager

using System.Collections;
using UnityEngine;
using TMPro;

public class SubtitleManager : MonoBehaviour
{
public TextMeshProUGUI subtitleText;
public AudioSource audioSource;
private bool hasPlayed = false;

private void Start()
{
    subtitleText.text = "";
}

private void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other)
{
    Debug.Log("Trigger entered by: " + other.name);
    if (other.CompareTag("Player") && !hasPlayed)
    {
        StartCoroutine(PlayAudioWithSubtitles());
        hasPlayed = true;
    }
}

private IEnumerator PlayAudioWithSubtitles()
{
    audioSource.Play();
    Debug.Log("Playing audio");

    yield return ShowSubtitle("What happened?", 0, 2);
    yield return ShowSubtitle("Where is everybody?", 2, 2);
    yield return ShowSubtitle("Mom? Dad?", 4, 2);
    ShowSubtitle("", 6, 0); // Leeg maken van de ondertitels
}

private IEnumerator ShowSubtitle(string text, float startTime, float duration)
{
    Debug.Log($"Showing subtitle: {text} after {startTime} seconds for {duration} seconds");
    yield return new WaitForSeconds(startTime);
    subtitleText.text = text;
    Debug.Log("Subtitle text set to: " + text);
    yield return new WaitForSeconds(duration);
    subtitleText.text = "";
}

}

huh?

[wintry quarry]

How to share code on this discord. Read it

[harsh dew]

excuse me for that

yo its not working

how does that work?

i read ut but i dont understand any of it

[rich adder]

simple. click one of the links, copy your code and paste it on the site, hit their Save Button. Send the link generated

[harsh dew]

ooh okay

https://gdl.space/iwumizujen.cs

is this good

[rough hill]

The InventoryPanel is assigned in editor but it still plays the error message. Anyone knows what I am doing wrong?

[rich adder]

so what is it exactly thats supposed to happen with subtitles?
what is working vs whats not working, are the logs you put printing ?

[rich adder]

did you check for two of them maybe ? search t:InventoryMenu in hierarchy

[slender nymph]

either it is being reassigned by something else, in Awake, or in OnEnable or you have more than one copy of this component in the scene where the other copy does not have it assigned

[harsh dew]

well, after some work, i managed to put the audio and text into the script, but now is the audio playing but the subtitles not showing on scree

[rich adder]

is this printing
Debug.Log($"Showing subtitle: {text} after {startTime} seconds for {duration} seconds");

you have a bunch of logs, thats good step in right direction. But did you check them in the console ?

[rough hill]

Got another InventoryMenu on different object. That was it, thanks! :)

[harsh dew]

The only thing i have is The referenced script (Unknown) on this Behaviour is missing!
but thats for the audioTrigger

[rich adder]

so no logs are printing in playmode ?

[harsh dew]

no apparently not, not when i walk trough the trigger

[rich adder]

you said the audio plays?..

can you screenshot your console in its entirety

not even Debug.Log("Trigger entered by: " + other.name); is printing?
either you have logs hidden or the trigger i s never happening

[rough hill]

Cant assign the InventoryMenu here on my prefab Itemslot.

[wintry quarry]

Prefabs can't reference scene objects

[rich adder]

would be nice to know when you took this..is this during playmode when you walk into trigger?

[harsh dew]

that error is from 10 minutes ago

[rich adder]

thats not what I asked

[harsh dew]

oh wait now i see it, that error occured when i put the audio into the SubtitleManager script

[rich adder]

its also possible you just made changes to script during playmode and saved

that still is unrelated to what you're trying to debug though..

[polar acorn]

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

[charred igloo]

are variables attached to scripts or gameobject with the script?
if a script is attached to more than one script will a variable change for every script or only the one that meets the conditions that make the variable change?

[cosmic dagger]

A GameObject contains a list of components (scripts) . . .

[rich adder]

it will only change on that instance and not other scripts

[cosmic dagger]

A script (class) contains members: fields, methods, events . . .

[rocky canyon]

when you create a normal MonoBehaviour script.. it does nothing really.
once you add it to a gameobject its a new instance of that script (belonging to that gameobject)
any variables will apply to that gameobject.. if u added teh same script to another gameobject those variables could be totally different values (applied to the new one)

[polar acorn]

A script is just a file. When you attach that file to a GameObject, you create an instance of that script on that object. That instance holds all non-static variables

[cosmic dagger]

Every script attached to a GameObject will create an instance of that class. Any change in its state will only reflect on that instance . . .

[charred igloo]

mhh, but if i do something like

if(getComponent<BoxCollider2D>().enabled == false)
{
Debug.Log(“works”);
}

it only works if all colliders are disabled. pls help

[cosmic dagger]

Help with what? You didn't state what the problem (or the goal) is . . .

[polar acorn]

That will log "works" if whatever collider this happens to find is disabled

It'll get a BoxCollider2D from this object

[cosmic dagger]

This attempts to get a BoxCollider2D component on the GameObject this script is attached to and check if it's disable . . .

[cosmic quail]

do you have multiple colliders on the same gameobject?

[cosmic dagger]

You have to provide more information . . .

[charred igloo]

i know im sorry im trying to figure out how to tell

i want to check if only the collider in the same gameobject as the script is disabled

but i have the same scripts in multiple gameobjects, and every gameobject has a collider

[polar acorn]

Then each instance of the script will be checking the collider on this object

[charred igloo]

but as i said before, it only works if all colliders are disabled

[rocky canyon]

🤔 sounds like a set-up issue

[polar acorn]

Whenever the code you've posted runs, it will check if the BoxCollider2D on this object is disabled. If it is, it will log "works"

So, when does this code run?

[charred igloo]

oh im so sorry

it was a setup issue

thanks for the help tho

[tender wharf]

is this cursed for displaying players positions on a minimap xd

[languid spire]

not a code question #archived-game-design

[winter tinsel]

how would i change the value of a slider?

float to slider ig

[slender nymph]

what did google say

[rich adder]

slider.value
also yes you should do these basics google searches

[languid spire]

better slider.Set(value, false)

[winter tinsel]

whats the point of the false?

[wintry quarry]

Have you checked https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.ugui@1.0/api/UnityEngine.UI.Slider.html ?

[languid spire]

so you dont get the onvaluechanged callback

[winter tinsel]

wait huh

unaccessable due to its protection level

what

[wintry quarry]

Again, check the docs for available functions and properties

[slender nymph]

Set is protected, you'd have to use SetValueWithoutNotify

[winter tinsel]

and just put the value in the brackets right?

cuz i see theres float and input

whast the input about

[slender nymph]

if you are not sure how method parameters work, then perhaps you should start simpler with the beginner courses pinned in this channel

[winter tinsel]

i know how it works im just confused as to what to put as the input?

sofar ive only encountered values

[slender nymph]

#💻┃code-beginner message

[winter tinsel]

wait im stupid nvm

yet the slider wont move

even though the value changes it doesnt affect the value of the slider

[runic urchin]

hey, i was just wondering if anyone could tell me how i could change the layer of a game object using code? i want it to change after i press left click and im having a tough time with it lol

[wintry quarry]

myObject.layer = newLayer;

[rich adder]

You mean in the UI? think because UI uses events to update the slider

[winter tinsel]

what

ingame it doesnt change yeah

[runic urchin]

would i be able to modify this to change it to the default layer?

[wintry quarry]

you can put it in whatever layer you want

[winter tinsel]

the value changes, but the slider wont move, it wont change the sliders value to be the value of stamina

[rich adder]

the visuals yes?

[runic urchin]

just like this?

[wintry quarry]

If you defined a variable called "Default"

pay attention to the types of things

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/GameObject-layer.html

As you can see layer is an int

you need to put an int there

the default layer is 0 IIRC
so just myObject.layer = 0;

[runic urchin]

oh, i was using that and i put this in but it ended up not working

[rich adder]

[runic urchin]

ok, ill try to see why its not working with the code then

[slender nymph]

are you certain you've referenced the correct slider?

[wintry quarry]

Well you could start with explaining what went wrong when you tried it

[runic urchin]

ima be honest with ya, half the words you just said went right over my head

[slender nymph]

it's a good thing that the bot's embed directly below my message makes what i'm referring to more clear

[runic urchin]

it just didnt work so i think ima try to change where it is placed in the code

[wintry quarry]

Well you woiuld first want to make sure the code actually is running

You can use Debug.Log to do that

and yes you should think carefullyt abouit where you want to put that code

[rugged loom]

Renderer.opaqueLayerMask &= ~LayerMask.GetMask("PlayerHead"); Deaktive
Renderer.opaqueLayerMask |= LayerMask.GetMask("PlayerHead"); Active

[nova shore]

wanted to make it so that moving your mouse horizontally would make it rotate around the character(rb)
and vertically would it make it just go up n down for now also while keeping the centre of fov at the char.

it just aint workin as intended. the rotation in x-z plane is fine, but it doesnt move with the character meaning its pivot is the origin
and with cam.TransformDirection it spazzes out like crazy

Angle += dx * mouseSens;

cam.position =  cam.TransformDirection(new Vector3(Mathf.Sin(Angle)
    , 0, -1 * Mathf.Cos(Angle)) * CamDist);
cam.position += new Vector3(0, dy * -mouseSens, 0);
cam.LookAt(rb.position);

[rich adder]

use cinemachine 😮

[wintry quarry]

Set up your objects like this:

Character
  Empty Pivot (local position (0, 0,0))
    Camera (local position (0, 5, -10) or so

Then just rotate the Empty Pivot object's localRotation (or using transform.ROtate)

[queen adder]

why does the top one work but not the bottom one if (_camBottom.y < 0) { Debug.Log("Bottom: " + _camBottom.y); transform.Translate(Vector3.up * _verticalInput * _speed * Time.deltaTime); } else if (_camTop.y > 1) { Debug.Log("Top: " + _camTop.y); transform.Translate(Vector3.down * _verticalInput * _speed * Time.deltaTime); } basically what I am trying to do is reverse the direction so when they hit the barrier they can't go up anymore but they can go down if they want and vice versa

[wintry quarry]

Move your log statements outside of the if statements, so you can see why it's not running

[winter tinsel]

theres only one slider

[winter tinsel]

in the inspector it also doesnt change the value

[winter tinsel]

let me try

[nova shore]

the objects are
Character -> Main Cam

ok this could work ill give it a try

[wintry quarry]

yeah you need an extra pivot object in there

and then just rotate the pivot

[slender nymph]

so you don't happen to have a prefab for the slider that you might be referencing instead? and you don't see any errors in the console?

[wintry quarry]

you can test it in the editor

[winter tinsel]

no errors, the slider is not a prefab its a constant gameobject

[slender nymph]

put this line directly after the SetValueWithoutNotify call and show what it prints: Debug.Log($"{staminaUI.name} ({staminaUI.GetInstanceID()}) value set to {staminaUI.value} from {name} ({GetInstanceID()}) and value {stamina}", staminaUI);

[nova shore]

aighty ty

[winter tinsel]

i put it in the same function, is that okay?

[polar acorn]

Is it the line directly after the SetValueWithoutNotify

[slender nymph]

yes that is where it is supposed to be . . .
it just has to be after the SetValueWIthoutNotify call

[winter tinsel]

okay its printed something

[polar acorn]

Now, click once on that log. It should highlight an object in the hierarchy. Show that object's inspector

[winter tinsel]

it highlighted the slider

what am i looking for

[polar acorn]

Show the inspector of it

[slender nymph]

i'm curious why the player object has a positive instance id 🤔
does whatever is calling your staminaBar method happen to have a reference to the player prefab rather than the player instance in the scene?

[winter tinsel]

theres no player prefab

on the second pic if i make it have no function the slider moves if i change the value anually in the inspector, otherwise its stuck, if i try to slide it it wont work

[polar acorn]

That slider does appear to be at 5 like your code says. So what's the problem with it?

[slender nymph]

congrats, you are most likely just constantly calling that staminabar method

[winter tinsel]

thats a good thing

issue is "stamina" changes

as a value, but it wont change the value ??

it wont change the slider value

[slender nymph]

prove it because the log showed it was being set correctly

what invokes that unity event you've screenshot anyway?

[polar acorn]

Show the log setting it to something other than 5, and show the inspector of the slider afterwards

[winter tinsel]

its constanly being set to soething other than five

[slender nymph]

this also does not prove that the value is actually changing

[winter tinsel]

ive debugged it

it does

[polar acorn]

The log you showed was you setting it to 5

and that's what the inspector says it's at

[winter tinsel]

thats the thing he told me to put, if i log "stamina" it changes

[polar acorn]

Well, that log says stamina is 5

[slender nymph]

"i'Ve dEbUgGeD It"
so fucking show that. when i asked you to prove that the value actually fucking changes, then i expected you to show me the actual proof that it changes.

[polar acorn]

According to the information you have provided, stamina is 5 and the slider shows 5. If you're seeing something that says otherwise, you need to show that

Because right now it appears to be doing exactly what you want it to do

[winter tinsel]

izvolte

1.524369

[polar acorn]

Okay, and are you logging that inside the function that changes the slider?

[winter tinsel]

no

[polar acorn]

Then it literally does not matter

[winter tinsel]

what

[polar acorn]

At the time you're calling the function to change the slider, stamina is 5. So you set the slider to 5

[winter tinsel]

im stupid

its not in update()

thats why

but otherwise how do i add it to the functions????

i cant make it public within update

[slender nymph]

hey remember when i asked what was invoking that unity event that calls the staminabar method and you just completely ignored that question?

[winter tinsel]

i should take my own advice and go to sleep

[slender nymph]

you also don't need to put the actual method declaration inside of update to call it from update. this kind of shit is why i keep insisting that you actually go learn the basics of c#

[polar acorn]

Why not

let me count em

10 hours on the road and i havent slept since 6 so

definitely has some effect

but it works

i just put the function in the sprint code

apologies for wasting time

[crisp prism]

Im instantiate two obstacles and two spawn but it only detects one leaving

[wintry quarry]

you should put a log outside your if statement

and print all those values you're checking in the if statement

but seems clearish to me...

hasSpawned = true; // Prevent multiple spawns```
```cs
&& !hasSpawned &&```

you're explicitly setting this variable true... and explicitly checking that very same variable

[crisp prism]

i put it outside the if and its still only detecting one leaving

[wintry quarry]

and isn't that the point, to prevent multiple spanws?

[crisp prism]

its detecting two in the on trigger

yea

it does prevent multiple spawns

[wintry quarry]

you mean OnTriggerEnter?

[crisp prism]

yea

just for some reason then doesnt detect two leaving

[wintry quarry]

show your console?

[crisp prism]

ill send a picture

[wintry quarry]

and show the new code with the moved log?

[crisp prism]

there is double touched the plane then left because its not detecting that two left only one

so one stays behind

[wintry quarry]

I don't see Player left the plane at all

if that's what you mean

[crisp prism]

player isnt relavent

[wintry quarry]

well I see 22 and 9

[crisp prism]

yea

[wintry quarry]

so hard to say what's going on there at all

[crisp prism]

thats the problem

its just weird the trigger is debugging that 2 touch it but only one is exiting

[wintry quarry]

What are these obstacles? How do they work? What are they doing?

What's the goal here

maybe 13 of the 22 are still inside

[crisp prism]

its and endless runner I have the platform and player constantly move along the z axis and the player can move the capsule just left and right, the obstacles spawn and when they leave the plane it activates the trigger exit and respawns them infront of the player

for and almost endless loop of obstacles

problem is its not deleting both obstacles that leave and its leaving one behind

[wintry quarry]

which object has this script

[crisp prism]

the plane controls the object spawn

I have a prefab for the obstacles

public GameObject Obstacle;

it pulls it from there in the plane script to create it

[wintry quarry]

and where di you put the new log

[crisp prism]

outside the if in the trigger exit

still only detecting one leaving for some reason

wait

your right

I moved the wrong debug

when i move the debug outside the if method for trigger exit it prints two leaving

[wintry quarry]

yes

[crisp prism]

so its something with the if

[wintry quarry]

so it's working fine

I'm not sure i understand the point of this hasSpawned variable

[crisp prism]

the debug is fine its just still not deleting both in the trigger exit

[wintry quarry]

seems like it prevents it from ever handling more than one exiting obstacle

yeah because of hasSpawned

it's unclear what the intent of that is

[crisp prism]

its supposed to prevent more than two obstacles from spawning, since it spawns based on when they leave then it exponetially when start spawning them

is the idea

if i dont limit it

[wintry quarry]

Ok but if a second obstacle leaves between one leaving and the new one(s) coming in, then it's not going to spawn any more

so it's working exactly as you designed it

You need a better system for determining when to spawn things to be perfectly honest

it shouldn't be tied to when an object is exiting at all imo

[crisp prism]

yea im very new to the whole coding thing

kind of the only idea I could think of for and "endless runner"

dont know how else to detect them passing the screen

then to spawn new ones

[wintry quarry]

I don't see why those two things need to be related at all @crisp prism

you can start with something simple like spawning one obstacle per second:

float timer = 0;
public float interval = 1;

void Update() {
  timer += Time.deltaTime;
  if (timer > interval) {
    timer -= interval;
    SpawnACube();
  }
}```

Then you can reduce the interval over time

[misty pecan]

Im making a learn to fly clone and im wondering whether its better to actually move the player when hes flying or move the environment backwards? Which is more logical?

[crisp prism]

will keep that in mind @wintry quarry thank you for the help

yea but when I remove the has spawned logic everytime they spawn they double

so 2 - 4 - 8 - 16

only problem left

[wintry quarry]

Yeah because... you're doing a thing that I specifically mentioned makesno sense

you're spawning obstacles in response to old obstacles leaving

there's no need for that to be the case.
and you're doing two for every one that leaves.

[mystic citrus]

Does anyone know why my character flips back and forth in the x axis when he moves into a wall? Here is my flip code

//  private void Flip()
    {
        if (isFacingRight && rb.velocity.x < 0f || !isFacingRight && rb.velocity.x > 0f)
        {
            Vector3 localScale = transform.localScale;
            localScale.x *= -1;
            transform.localScale = localScale;
            isFacingRight = !isFacingRight;

            Vector3 currentScale = bulletPanel.transform.localScale;
            currentScale.x *= -1;
            bulletPanel.transform.localScale = currentScale;
        }
    }

Also I know it probably has to do with the velocity going back and forth between positive and negative and never being 0, but how can I 0 it or rewrite the code so that it doesnt do that?

[wintry quarry]

Have you done any debugging yet as I recommended earlier?

[mystic citrus]

Like I said, I know what the issue is, I just dont know how to implement it

Thats why Im asking

[wintry quarry]

what do you mean you know what the issue is

[mystic citrus]

Here

[wintry quarry]

you said "probably"

beut I don't see anything changing the velocity

so how can you be sure

[mystic citrus]

Because I use add force and when you hit a wall with add force it just bounces you back

I debugged and I know the issue

[wintry quarry]

but you're not hitting a wall after you bounce

so why would the velocity change again

[mystic citrus]

When I hold into the direcion of the wall, force is applied towards the wall, but the way unity does force it also makes the player bounce away from the wall with any remaining force applied to the wall, how can I make it so that the character doesn't flip when this happens

[rocky canyon]

Constrain its rotations is 1 way

[mystic citrus]

How can I do this?

[rocky canyon]

in the rigidbody component

[wintry quarry]

reduce bounciness on the physics material

[rocky canyon]

i might be misunderstanding flip

[mystic citrus]

Thank you, I'm going to try this

[rocky canyon]

but yea, u can reduce the bounciness for sure

[mystic citrus]

Sorry I tried to explain it better loool

[wintry quarry]

I'm not sure I understand really if you're trying to fix the bounce or the fact that it flips instantly

[ancient holly]

did you debug the velocity?

[wintry quarry]

Because it sounds like the flip code is working perfectly, and your problem is the bounce

[rocky canyon]

no worries

[ancient holly]

adding a little value instead of 0 for if checks might work

but it would make the thing not immediate

i'd recommend basing it on input and velocity at the same time

[warm raptor]

Hello, is their a way to show the render / image of a camera onto a mesh like a circle, like if it was a screen ?

yep use a RenderTexture

Make a material - assign the texture as the render texture

and make your camera render to the texture

I have a randomly generated mesh, how do I add a mesh Collider that fits the mesh at the start of the scene through a script?

If anyone wants to help pls pm me, I'm eeping rn and woke up bc of having a nightmare bc of this

[wintry quarry]

you just assign your mesh to the MeshCollider

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/MeshCollider-sharedMesh.html

[languid spire]

and dont forget to add it to the MeshFilter as well

[wintry quarry]

MeshFilter would be for rendering (along with a MeshRenderer)

no

        Vector3 spawnPosition1 = new Vector3(Random.Range(-4f, 0f), transform.position.y + 2f, transform.position.z + 5f);
        Vector3 spawnPosition2 = new Vector3(Random.Range(0f, 4f), transform.position.y + 2f, transform.position.z + 5f);

        Instantiate(Obstacle, spawnPosition1, Quaternion.identity);
        Instantiate(Obstacle, spawnPosition2, Quaternion.identity);
    }
}

now deletes and recongnizes both leaving

just changed up the has spawned variable placement

I think that actually may be the problem thank you

[warm raptor]

so what can I do? do you think it can be because this object doesn't have good scale and rotation ?

[polar acorn]

That's not how that works, but I do see one failed:

> Task :launcher:checkReleaseAarMetadata FAILED

Not entirely sure what that means, seems to be something mobile related. Maybe #📱┃mobile knows more about this

[gloomy kelp]

Okay thanks for your time and sorry for me not understanding

[wintry quarry]

no it's because the aspect ratio of your render texture doesn't match the object you're putting it on

[warm raptor]

but my render texture is a square and my object a circle ?!

[wintry quarry]

how did you make this "circle" object?

it may also be due to the UVs of the model you're drawing this on

[warm raptor]

i download it from sketchfab

[warm raptor]

oh yes , it could be that

[ionic zephyr]

How can I make sure that if in my inventory UI I place an object in a determined slot of the UI, then in my overworld UI it stays in the same slot??

Even if they are different UIs

which mean different slots really

[wintry quarry]

you should have a shared underlying model of your inventory

that both the inventory UI and the overworld UI read from

Use the MVC pattern and the observer pattern.

The inventory data itself would be the model
The two UIs are views

[ionic zephyr]

Okay, I started working according to this, the thing is whenever an object is added to the specific slot it calls the "Hotbar Manager" to add the object data into the underlaying model, the thing is hwo do I know the position of it in the List?

Let me show it graphically

[queen adder]

would anyone help me with the script I'm using for a button?

The button itself is a model with a configurable joint component and it has constraints, all that.

The button is pushed down by a collider in vr, and it's supposed to hit a trigger that triggers a script. I don't even know if the script works, I copied it from a vr button tutorial and I did everything the person said.

In the script the only thing I changed was this tag name. The button model has the tag. But being pushed nothing happens.

[ionic zephyr]

The second step involves one of the UI slots informing the Underlaying data the place in which the object has been dropped

[wintry quarry]

well there's a few ways to do it but basically the UI should be listening for events from the inventory

one of the events could be like:

public delegate void InventoryChangedHandler(int slotId, Item oldItem, Item newItem);
public event InventoryChangedHandler OnItemChanged;```

something like this

so the inventory announces that slot 3 changed, the old item was "empty" and the new item is "health potion" for example

okay, Im not very informed about delegates and events, could I pass the index number of the slot in the UI array for example?

[wintry quarry]

Well ideally the index of the slot in the ui array and the slot number in the underlying data match up

so you don't have to do any conversion

anyway I gotta go get ready for something 👋

[ionic zephyr]

okay, thanks for your help as always!!!

[queen adder]

what does this do?

[raw token]

Code in screenshots is hard to read. In that particular screenshot, doubly so because there's no syntax highlighting. If anyone wants to make a suggestion to alter your code or reference your identifiers, then they also need to transcribe the relevant portion of your code from the image by hand.

The Discord text file embed thingy also sucks on mobile and prevents you from having it up alongside Discord, unless you download the file.

So sharing large blocks of code via a paste site just makes everyone's life easier. The only time code in a screenshot is really appropriate is if you're displaying something which is happening within the IDE

[queen adder]

https://paste.ofcode.org/39e5T3kmka9JNs2PyQf7RbE

[queen adder]

yay

[raw token]

So those Debug.Log()s aren't ever getting printed to console?

And the object which this script is attached to has a collider with isTrigger checked?

[queen adder]

ye the trigger is this cube

[languid spire]

and which object has the rigidbody?

[raw token]

Is that cube a child of the gameobject which has the VRButton script attached?

[queen adder]

buttonpanel is the rigid body

when I move the trigger cube nothing happens still

[languid spire]

Ok debugging 101
Add debug.log to prove the code is actually running
Add debug.logs to show if the Trigger methods are being entered

[rocky canyon]

well, wheres the collider of the button panel?

[queen adder]

does it need one?

[raw token]

For a physics message like OnTriggerEnter() to occur, both of the objects involved in the collision need a collider and at least one needs to have a rigidbody - generally the object(s) which are moving. The message will execute within scripts attached to one of the objects, or their parent.

I don't really grasp how you have this all organized, but it seems strange that the panel has a rigidbody. If you are trying to detect an event between the trigger and the button, then one of those objects needs to have a rigidbody...

What object is the VRButton script attached to, anyway?

[languid spire]

the button needs one

[queen adder]

the button has a box collider with is trigger checked.

Button panel has a mesh collider.

The trigger underneath the button has a box collider with is trigger checked.

so pannel doesn't need rigidbody?

[languid spire]

the object with the rigidbody will receive the trigger events

[queen adder]

the red button model is the one with the script attached

[languid spire]

then the rigidbody needs to be on the button as well

[queen adder]

it has one

[raw token]

So in this situation, other is the trigger, which will not have your button tag on it. You can double check by throwing like a

Debug.Log(other.gameObject.name);

in at the top of your OnTriggerEnter() method, outside of the if statement

[languid spire]

you are checking a tag but your cube is untagged

this is why you dont crop screenshots

[queen adder]

I'm glad it was that simple lol

works now!

hazzah :D

now to figure out how to add a pistol

fuck.

[trail harbor]

What is the correct way to change mesh runtime?
I'm switching skins and the animator doesnt automatically rebind, have to toggle the component in inspector, and the head is weird, how are you guys doing it?

I could ofcourse keep him in some anim that doesnt move the head at all, but the animation is still frozen when changing body, any tips?

[sand heath]

im a bit confused on the goal

you're changing just the head model?

oh wait are you instantiating a new body to replace the old one?

#🏃┃animation might be more of a help

[ripe shard]

it might be best (easiest to manage) to replace the entire character model prefab

[trail harbor]

Yes, instantiating a new

Thanks for the answers I will try something else, maybe keeping the animator on the instantiated model instead of root

[ripe shard]

why do you want to keep the animator?

you can just force a new one into the same state

[trail harbor]

My animator is at the root, i am instantiating under it, seems the animator does not automatically reconfigure or what ever it is called

So maybe moving the animator to the skin instead will do the trick

[ivory breach]

My enemy plane turns upside down whenever it tries to face left, and I have no clue why

            {
                Debug.LogError("Score GameObject does not have a Text component.");
            }

why cant I pull the text component

[polar acorn]

Does this object have a world space TextMeshPro

[polar acorn]

That's a TextMeshProUGUI. You could also use the shared parent class TMP_Text

[crisp prism]

thank you

[ivory breach]

Anyone have a solution/suggestion to tackle this problem?

[worthy merlin]

I was hoping to get a bit of explanation to this. I am trying to generate an array of TileBase variables that matches the amount needed for a BoundsInt variable. However whenever I run my Tilemap.SetTilesBlock Function it sends the attached error.

The confusing part is that if the total amount of tiles in the array does not match exactly how many tiles are required, the function errors out. But if it knows that the array doesn't match whether it is too high or low... Shouldn't it have a function that would allow me to directly collect that information from the BoundsInt or at least some other similar function. Without doing some math on the min and max values? Just feels strange that it is going to lecture me as if it knows how many are required instead of just giving me a function to match how many are required...

[worthy merlin]

Like I am fine with using int totalWalls = wallBounds.size.x * wallBounds.size.y * wallBounds.size.z; but I feel like there should be something built in that is faster?

[mint remnant]

Not sure how you'd get much faster than that calc

[worthy merlin]

I just mean that I feel like it should've had at least some form of code such as wallBounds.size.volume that would've calculated it for us already since its going to be repeated depending on the project. Not complaining, I was just confused if I am missing something or if this is how its done.

[teal viper]

The reason it requires bounds is for you to be able to provide a smaller block with offset, it's not for validation purposes.

[teal viper]

If you want to set the whole tilemap worth of tiles, you could probably get it's size/bounds from the tilemap itself.

[mint remnant]

drag it into project as a prefab

once it's a prefab, now drag one from assets into scene, it will be a game object on its own

you can't just abandon your children!

[eternal needle]

Why would you want this? Any specific reason because you'd likely have to do this in whatever modeling tool it was made in (assuming by the names this is some model)

Also not a coding question

Well not sure why you'd write that (after my message above) but 🤷‍♂️ that's a block

[mint remnant]

another happy customer

[north oar]

i want a prefab to keep acclereating its movement but im not sure how i would apply a move speed variable to each prefab that change independently of eachother

[eternal needle]

you wouldnt apply this to be prefab, it would be to the game object you instantiate. assuming you havent randomly used static variables here, the move speed variable will already be unique to each instance

[teal viper]

I don't think that rotation calculation is correct.
Check the LookRotation documentation on what the second parameter is for

Also, share the !code correctly next time:

hello im not sure why its underlined

[wintry quarry]

have you moused over it and read the error?

it will tell you why

[mint remnant]

you're trying to return from a yield and you can't there, can only return void

[wintry quarry]

also this is guaranteed to freeze your Unity editor @royal linden

[ivory breach]

Without the _model.transform.localRotation line, the plane rotates like this, which is what I wanted for one part

[royal linden]

you have super eyes thanks also im not sure how i would fix the underline would i replace yeild with void?

[toxic frigate]

yield return new WaitForSeconds can only be used in a coroutine

[wintry quarry]

you can't use yield return unless it's a coroutine

To make it a coroutine void needs to be changed to IEnumerator

but also - it makes no sense right now since there's nothing in the while loop

that will ever change AbleToThrow

[royal linden]

sorry im new so i have to use what i know

also what is void

[mint remnant]

you should really go back a few steps, first learn some C#

[wintry quarry]

then why are you writing yield return anything

you have no idea what that means

[wintry quarry]

void means "this method doesn't return anything"

i searched up how to wait a second

well you missed several parts of that answer

go back

Hello guys. Im a beginner in unity and c# and using brakeys how to make an fps tutorial on youtube. Ive tried to make my player move but this shows up when i press any of the WASD keys.
my player motor script is

[RequireComponent(typeof(Rigidbody))]
public class PlayerMotor : MonoBehaviour
{

   private Vector3 velocity = Vector3.zero;
   private Rigidbody rb;
   private Transform Transform;

   void start()
   {
    rb = GetComponent<Rigidbody>();
     Transform = GetComponent<Transform>();
   }

   public void Move (Vector3 _velocity)
   {
        velocity = _velocity;
   }

//Run every physics iteration
   void FixedUpdate()
   {
    PerformMovement();
   }

   void PerformMovement()
   {
    if (velocity != Vector3.zero)
    {
        rb.MovePosition(Transform.position + velocity * Time.fixedDeltaTime);
    }
   }
}

and my player controller script is

[RequireComponent(typeof(PlayerMotor))]
public class Player_Controller : MonoBehaviour
{
    
    [SerializeField]
    private float speed = 5f;

    private PlayerMotor motor;

    void Start()
    {
        motor = GetComponent<PlayerMotor>();
    }

    void Update()
    {

        //Calculate movement velocity as a 3d vector
        float _xMov = Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal");
        float _zMov = Input.GetAxisRaw("Vertical");

        Vector3 _movHorizontal = transform.right * _xMov; 
        Vector3 _movVertical = transform.forward * _zMov; 

        //Final movement vector
        Vector3 _velocity = (_movHorizontal + _movVertical).normalized * speed;

        //Apply Movement
        motor.Move(_velocity);
    }

}```

[wintry quarry]

Yeah but this is a small snippet of a larger example. It's missing context

[royal linden]

yup

[wintry quarry]

It's like you found "pull the trigger to shoot the gun" without the part where you load the gun and rack the slide first

[royal linden]

does anyone know why the script is not running at all

[ivory bobcat]

Use Debug.Log or print

[mint remnant]

because you are now using IEnumerator Start()

[royal linden]

why is that bad

[mint remnant]

you're fishing with some faulty worms, you need to back up and learn some basic C# first, like what does it mean to return void from a method

[royal linden]

not sure

it says i cant use void when i try use waitforseconds

[mint remnant]

and that's true

it's also true that Unity requires a void Start() mthod to start, so you can't use both

[ivory bobcat]

Hi, I've been using this for ages in my game managers etc. and I just ran into an issue where the first one somehow returns null and the second one works fine, could somebody please explain what's actually going on?

public static Camera Camera => Instance._camera ?? (Instance._camera = Camera.main);
public static Camera Camera => Instance._camera == null ? Instance._camera = Camera.main : Instance._camera;

[umbral bough]

like even the ai says it should do the same thing(ran out of claude so can't test there)

Have you tried testing them in the same script? (Like side by side with different identifiers)

They should evaluate to the same values if used in the same script/scene.

Aside: "even ai says" is not a great argument. AI said I should eat 7-12 rocks yesterday to help with digestion

Update: Every minute I spend trying to make the big plane rotate in a way akin to Luftrausers' planes, I grow more and more frustrated trying to solve the "plane is upside down when they're looking at one side" issue

private void RotatePlane()
    {
        var heading = _target.GetComponent<Rigidbody>().position - transform.position;

        var rotation = Quaternion.LookRotation(heading, new Vector3(0, 0, -1));

        _rb.MoveRotation(Quaternion.RotateTowards(transform.localRotation, rotation, _rotateSpeed * Time.deltaTime));

        _model.transform.localRotation = Quaternion.Euler(0, 0, transform.localEulerAngles.x + 90.0f);
    }

If somebody can help me find an answer to end this struggle, I will be eternally grateful

[copper orbit]

if the project is in urp3d but the gameobjects are spritebillboards, would it be best to use collider3d or 2d? I would think its 3d but I cannot get the OnCollisionEnter to work

Everything has collider/rigidbody

[queen adder]

Do you have a clip of it?

[ivory breach]

Here

[mint remnant]

Hard to follow and I hate Quaternians, but is this right? localEulerAngles.x + 90.0f or should it be localEulerAngles.z + 90.0f

[waxen adder]

Quick Question: Setting up a first person controller and want to implement source like movement (like everyone else lol). Wondering if a Rigidbody or a Character Controller would be better for this?

[queen adder]

Sorry i suck at rotation/Quaternions stuff, Trying to look up a fix right now but can't promise anything D:

[ivory breach]

I changed it to localEulerAngles.z and this just made the plane rotate almost instantly when looking directly up or down

[teal viper]

Again, you don't seem to be using LookRotation correctly. Can you explain the thinking process behind the values you provide it?

Why is the second parameter a constant with that particular value?

[ivory breach]

How can I say it... The second parameter is for making the big plane face the player on one axis only

Without the "_model.transform.localRotation" line, it will be facing the player this way without rolling the plane in the process

Also, I'm referencing the main game object and the model's game object separately to make it roll when it turns right now

The main object turns while the model rolls

[teal viper]

So you want it to always face towards the camera?

*you want it's up direction to always face the camera?

[ivory breach]

Now that you mention it, yeah

At least for the main object's rotation

[teal viper]

Okay, then that line is fine.

Or at least the second parameter.

Try using the rotation directly in the rb MoveRotation and don't set the model rotation.

[ivory breach]

You mean non-local rotation?

@teal viper This what I got after I disabled the model rotation and changed the MoveRotation to this

_rb.MoveRotation(Quaternion.RotateTowards(transform.rotation, rotation, _rotateSpeed * Time.deltaTime));

The plane apparently turns just fine

[teal viper]

Yeah, so whatever you were doing with the model, it was not necessary and causing the issue.

[ivory breach]

I still want the plane to turn like the player does

[runic urchin]

hey, im converting my project to URP and the material upgrades are wigging out saying this. anyone got any ideas?

[ivory breach]

But the code I used to turn the player is very different, so I can't recreate it to achieve the same effect for the other plane

[royal linden]

does anyone know how i can add a wait time

in a while loop

[mint remnant]

yes, use a coroutine

[royal linden]

ill search it up

[teal viper]

Wdym by "to turn like the player does"?

[ivory breach]

The player rolls like this when I turn it using a and d keys

@teal viper I want to achieve a similar thing for the enemy plane

[teal viper]

It kinda looks like you had before.
But you said that "you want it's up direction to always face the camera".
So which one is it? Can you be more consistent in your replies?

[frail slate]

Is it possible to have a material with a canvas shader in URP to have material instancing? I have a UI shader material for the user's pfp, and I want to change the texture individually for each item on the board. But when I change one, it changes the other one as well. Is there anyway around this, or a fix to this?

[ivory breach]

Re-enabling the model rotation, the enemy rolls correctly when it's looking to the right

But when it looks to the left, the plane starts to roll upside down

[teal viper]

In neither of these screenshots the up direction faces the camera

[ivory breach]

Actually, it still does

[teal viper]

I don't know what you have selected, but the model doesn't

It's clearly facing downwards

[runic urchin]

its saying this as well

[ivory breach]

This is the main object's transform

And this is the model's

[teal viper]

The main texture is taken from the image component. You need to assign your texture/sprite there, not the material.

[teal viper]

Ok, so it is facing somewhere else, just like I said.

[ivory breach]

I sincerely apologize if my replies aren't very understandable, I'm so tired of figuring out a solution to this problem I can't think of how to respond clearly

[teal viper]

Write it down on paper. How do you want the plane to behave in different situations. Draw some diagrams if needed. We can't help you if we don't know what you're trying to achieve. And it kinda feels like you don't understand that entirely either.

[ivory breach]

All I want right now is for the enemy plane to mirror the right-side rolling when it's looking to the left

[frail slate]

My material controls the outline, smoothness corners of the box, etc... so I need to change it in my material otherwise it won't work.

[ivory breach]

Implementing a Luftrausers-like plane rotation for enemies in Unity is going to be harder than I thought

[teal viper]

Draw a diagram. This sentence doesn't make sense in my head.

[royal linden]

hello does anyone know why over time my frames get worse and worse

[mint remnant]

you're never destroying the objects you create, nor can you

[summer stump]

Well, the object is a prefab, so they definitely CAN. we just don't see it happen here
It could have a script that destroys itself after time or on collision

[silk beacon]

yah the prefab could have its own timer

[royal linden]

oh, is there a way that is better at what im trying to do

polling objects might be more performant

@royal linden if you are not destroying the objects? where are they going. they take up memory. throw a million and you could crash

[summer stump]

Profile your game to see what the issue is

[silk beacon]

yah profiler is what i was going to say first. see where memory is eating up and why framerate is getting slow.

[royal linden]

im not sure why the delay is not working it should fire a spear every second

[mint remnant]

considering an hour or 2 ago, you didn't know what void meant, I doubt you're ever destroying them, are they piling up in the heairarchy?

[summer stump]

You showed basically nothing
So we cannot answer that

You can start multiple coroutines at the same time, so that is my guess

[royal linden]

im calling it from the start function

[ivory breach]

@teal viper Not sure if you can understand this, but this is how I expect the enemy plane to rotate when it turns

[summer stump]

Then it should wait for throwCooldown seconds

Delete that and do a site

[teal viper]

Ok I see. It's much more clear now. The easiest way to achieve that is to rotate your model depending on the orientation of the object.

[royal linden]

srry my keyboard is messed up and some keys are not what they seem

[frail slate]

How do you assign a property to a material for only one instance for UIs? Applying images seems to apply for every other instance.

[summer stump]

Irrelevant, use a paste site
Do NOT just post the code as a message

Please delete it

[ivory breach]

Can you help me do that with the code I currently have?

I'll just paste the code snippet here for convenience

private void RotatePlane()
    {
        var heading = _target.GetComponent<Rigidbody>().position - transform.position;

        var rotation = Quaternion.LookRotation(heading, new Vector3(0, 0, -1));

        _rb.MoveRotation(Quaternion.RotateTowards(transform.rotation, rotation, _rotateSpeed * Time.deltaTime));

        _model.transform.localRotation = Quaternion.Euler(0, 0, transform.localEulerAngles.x + 90.0f);
    }

[royal linden]

jeez its just a msg

[summer stump]

Alright. If you don't want help 🤷‍♂️
Best of luck then. Bye

[royal linden]

u were just being pushy.

[teal viper]

You can get the desired up direction with a cross product of your rb left direction and facing direction. Then just set the model transform.up = that vector.
You can add interpolation later once you get it working.

[royal linden]

ok ty

[summer stump]

I just wanted to see your code so I could help.
You know how you are supposed to share code, we have actually had this whole discussion before
On the phone it is difficult to read code the way you shared it

[ivory breach]

Is the up direction you said for the main object's transform? And does the facing direction mean forward direction?

[royal linden]

https://pastebin.com/s9ZvFQwH

[summer stump]

What is throwCooldown set to in the inspector?

[royal linden]

one

[summer stump]

Then it should definitely only create one per second. Do you perhaps have more than one of these classes attached to the object?

There is nothing in the code that could cause it to happen more often than that

[royal linden]

i cant see the object spawning either

[summer stump]

Wait, so the issue is that it is not spawning? Or spawing invisibly? Or what? I thought you meant it was happening too frequently

[royal linden]

mb its just very small

for some reason

[royal linden]

but i dont know why its small and so laggyyy, help me plz

ok nvm i fixed it 🦾

[silk beacon]

was it too small?

[ivory breach]

@teal viper Update: Did I do the first step right???

var combinedDir = Vector3.Cross(-_rb.transform.right, _rb.transform.forward);

I'm still a bit stumped so please bear with me

[frail slate]

Update: I fixed it by instantiating the material and assigning it to the individual raw image component

[teal viper]

Yes, that should be correct.

[ivory breach]

Nice

Now to figure out how to apply this new direction for the model's up transform

[ivory breach]

Where do I insert this product? I'm a bit lost since this part's new to me

[opal zealot]

I'm following a tutorial that allows me to detect clicks on a Collider Component for 2D, but I plan to use it for 3D objects. Do I need to change anything from this script?: https://hastebin.com/share/ganecuneya.csharp
Or can I keep it as it is without any needed conversions for 3D projects in Unity?

[ivory breach]

I tried applying the model's transform after the model rotation line like this and now it's stuck looking up

_model.transform.localRotation = Quaternion.Euler(0, 0, transform.localEulerAngles.x + 90);
_model.transform.up = combinedDir;

@teal viper What am I missing here?

[teal viper]

What's that setting local rotation for?

[ivory breach]

Normal rotation breaks the rotation smh

Btw, the enemy plane starts in this orientation

[teal viper]

Use a proxy object(parent to an empty and adjust the child rotation) to correct the orientation instead of doing it via code.

[ivory breach]

I can fix it by rotating the main object in the x-axis by 90 degrees, but it messes up its rotation value of the other two axes when I try to rotate the plane after that

@teal viper Idk why that happens, but should I proceed anyway?

[teal viper]

At this point I'm not sure I can help without the project at hand. Especially since there's a different headache I have at work.
If you can upload your project to GitHub or share it somehow else, I can have a look at it in the evening.

[ivory breach]

Sure thing! I'll send my project in your dms if you are interested

MAN this problem's giving me quite a headache

[teal viper]

Yeah, do that. Though I'll warn you that I still have like 6-7 hours until I can have a look at it.

[tiny plaza]

hey can someone explain to me what it means when a function returns something

[ivory breach]

@teal viper I've sent my project in your dms

[toxic yacht]

You can think of it just like a math function. In f(x) = x + 5. x is an argument and the result of f(x) is it's return value. In programming we can extend that idea beyond numbers to "return" any sort of data.

[tiny plaza]

and what about parameters?

[toxic yacht]

Parameters and arguments are synonymous

[cosmic dagger]

a parameter is the named variable used in a method. an argument is the actual value passed to the method . . .

[ivory bobcat]

int argument = 5;
Method(argument);``````cs
private void Method(int parameter) {}```

[upper tide]

When you try to use a function like OnCollisionEnter2D, does the function parameter NAME have to be exactly the same? As in, if I write Collision2D collider instead, would there be any consequences? Also I'm not quite sure how we're using this, since I don't see an override anywhere so I assume this isn't an inheritance thing, or is it interface based?

[mint remnant]

would be hte same

only the type matters

[drowsy flare]

You can use what ever name you want instead of "col", just make sure all references are changed

[upper tide]

I see

[upper tide]

Ah gotcha, thanks!

[drowsy flare]

Okay so I have a 2D game where characters walk around from side perspective, Monkey Island style.
I want to have rigidbodies so the characters have to walk around each other. However they should be able to pass each other in perspective, and partially cover each other. This leads me to a possible solution where I could put the collider 2D around the characters feet, and they should be able to pass each other close, but not stand on the same spot, in a nice fashion.

However, I want them to also be able to shoot each other. So I want a collider over the entire character as well. How would I go about this?

[static bay]

Different colliders for different things.

Have a collider act as the collision for the world.

And create a different collider (on some Hurtbox layer) to act as the collider for attacks.

[drowsy flare]

I was only able to draw the area for the first added collider

[drowsy flare]

Oh, gotcha, thanks

Seems to work

[drowsy flare]

It seems the child object containing the hurtbox inherits the rigidbody, making the entire sprite unpassable again.

[opal zealot]

Been trying to find a working code for a Raycast for Mouse Click via Input System for NPCs/Objs/UI/etc, its for my RO-like game project.

The ones are youtube are mostly old(So I'm unsure if they'll work on newer ver of Unity).

[molten dock]

Make a raycast to the mouse position

[drowsy flare]

First time I've seen the Layer Collission Matrix, thanks again (solved)

[opal zealot]

Following a tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aaYfoe9i5lY
Though this time synced to Unity's Input System. However, I'm unsure how to tie it in Via the 'Input' type: https://hastebin.com/share/jalukasuso.csharp

[arctic ibex]

Guys, urgent help needed. The submission date it in half an hour. Time.timescale is effecting LITERALLY nothing

lemme send th ecode rq

This is the code that runs to set Time.timescale. All of the degub happen.

The time.timescale debug returns 0

all of the rigid bodies move as normal, so do the animations.

even the animations on normal time

okay, all good. Turns out another script was setting time scale every update

[upper tide]

At what point is it considered overusing scriptableObjects? I tend to use them when theres a lot of parameter data needed for setup, like say movement values damage numbers

Also sprite changes, i store them in an array of sprites in SO instead of in the mono behaviour directly

It feels more fluid to me for some reason

[fickle plume]

It's good for keeping settings in assets especially when you need several instances of them. Just keep in mind specifics I've mentioned. Instance them if you want to modify. And note that editing assets themselves at run time in play mode will not make changes in runtime in the build.

[eternal needle]

these use cases dont seem wrong. not entirely sure about the damage numbers part there but I wouldnt worry unless every folder was plagued with these assets. Or if you were creating a class (and asset) for something thats only used once id be a little concerned

[fickle plume]

If you just want to serialize several fields on prefab (as a simple object you can pass around) you would be better with simple serialized class object there.

[fickle plume]

Should check this talk really. https://youtu.be/raQ3iHhE_Kk

[upper tide]

Aye aye thank you

[upper tide]

Gotcha

[tender stratus]

hey guys, im designing my first game and was wondering how games make character creation

like is that an achievable goal or is it quite hard

to allow the yser to create a custom character

[languid spire]

not a code question. #archived-game-design

[naive locust]

is it possible to make functions accessible from other scripts?

[languid spire]

make them public

[naive locust]

so

public void functionname ()
{
// code
}

?

[languid spire]

yep

[naive locust]

is calling the function the exact same?

[languid spire]

you will need a reference to the instance of the class but, yes

[naive locust]

oh ok thx

yeah i got it working

[lost basin]

Danko

[lost basin]

Ok wait let me rephrase, how do I add a mesh collider to a randomly generated mesh map, generated from a noise map, that changes every time I generate a new map. I tried just putting a mesh collider onto it, but It wouldn't update with the new map I generated. And I tried the previously mentioned method by PreatorBlue, but my mesh gameObject can't be assigned to the script.

[rough hill]

Why does my ShortcutSlot always starts with an assigned item? On Awake() I set the assigned item to null but that didn't do anything.

[languid spire]

probably because it is serialized

[tender stratus]

Anyone know why it doesnt work?

I tried recalling what i learned yesterday

Without youtube and i Dont know whats wrong

[languid spire]

That is why Debug.Log exists

[tender stratus]

What is that

The code runs

[languid spire]

it is the very first thing you should have learned when starting to program for Unity

[tender stratus]

Okay

Care to explain?

[languid spire]

Debug.Log allows you to output to the console exactly what your code is doing so you KNOW rather than ASSUME

[tender stratus]

THanks

It says my horizontal input isnt setup on unity

Weird it worked yesterday

[naive locust]

So I have a bullet that collides with an enemy, how do I make it so the enemy doesn't fly away when it collides with the bullet?
This is in 2D btw

[quick fractal]

Can I have more than one yield return new WaitForSeconds(); in a coroutine? Each time I've tried it I just got an undescriptive error about the Coroutines class

[keen dew]

Yes. You just did something wrong.
