That won’t work

You need it on the object with the collider

[pale ocean]

ah

[rich adder]

Raycast detect colliders

[pale ocean]

mm nope it didn't print it out even with cylinder on the layer of pipe

[languid spire]

but your cylinder is above it's parent

[pale ocean]

not at all? it's a child

[languid spire]

look at the Y position

[pale ocean]

why is the y position of the child relevant?

[languid spire]

because that is what gets hit first

[pale ocean]

it shouldn't matter anyway as i've changed the layer mask to the child anyway

[rich adder]

Is the collider on the pipe good? That center looks suspicious

[languid spire]

show inspector of Pipe object

[pale ocean]

it's alright

[languid spire]

ok, so nothing will hit that

[pale ocean]

why not?

[languid spire]

it has no collider

[rich adder]

It should hit the child though

[pale ocean]

it shouldnt?

[rich adder]

Select Window- analysis - physics debugger . Go to the queries tab and enable everything , run playmode and check for raycast

[languid spire]

yes, it will hit the child and REPORT the child if it meets the criteria, i.e. the LayerMask

[pale ocean]

yeah the child has the layer mask

i don't see anything

[languid spire]

Your Collider Center looks very odd indeed

[rich adder]

You need to enable gizmos. Check the scene view. Select the player

[pale ocean]

perhaps but even when the capsule goes through the cylinder nothing is logged regardless

[languid spire]

but it looks like the Cylinder collider is no where near the cylinder renderer

[rich adder]

#💻┃code-beginner message thought so too but from this screenshot seems ok

[pale ocean]

yeah still nothing

is this what you mean by selecting the player?

[rich adder]

Yes I see the red ray. Wait nvm that’s the move tool

Click player and press F

Also why is he below pipe

[pale ocean]

i haven't gotten around to stopping him from doing that for now i just want to log when he touches pipe i'll get around to that later

[languid spire]

there is no way that collider is in the correct position, screenshot looking down on the cylinder with the cylinder selected

[rich adder]

Why is it now a ball lol

[pale ocean]

its a capsule

[rich adder]

Oh… ur underneath looking up..

[pale ocean]

my bad

i've tried moving the collider up

does nothing

[rich adder]

Select the player click F in playmode .

You have to see where that raycast is first and foremost

[pale ocean]

sorry, but i hide the player to get this screenshot, what's the shortcut to unhide things

[languid spire]

I just realized, those center points are very small (missed the e at the end). Reset them to 0

[rich adder]

Idk the shortcut just use the ui buttons

[pale ocean]

what is a center point?

[languid spire]

the center values of the collider

[pale ocean]

ah, i reset those to 0, but still

it's not logging anything

[steep rose]

Are your colliders triggers

[pale ocean]

no

[rich adder]

This player doesn’t even have the script…

[pale ocean]

the parent has the script

[rich adder]

Where is the parent at? Select it and press F

Your player is far away from it

It’s obvious by the position relative to parent

[steep rose]

Because you used transform.position (zero clue why my phone is not making that a code bracket) and the script is on the parent, it will try to use the parents position. Not the childs

Nvm I guess it was making that a bracket

[rich adder]

Indeed. script is basically super far away from player

Never put logic and components on child / graphics when possible

Always root

[pale ocean]

neat thanks y'all sorry for bothering you, changing the location to 0,0,0 for the parent fixed it

[rich adder]

You mean child ?

[pale ocean]

nope parent

[steep rose]

Also why is your child so far away from parent

[pale ocean]

the parent was way off

[rich adder]

But it’s player that’s far away lol

That’s the child

[steep rose]

Now where is your child

Then

[pale ocean]

they're on the same position

[steep rose]

How?

[rich adder]

Ok so did you reset the capsule position

[steep rose]

The child moves in respect the parent

[rich adder]

(PlayerVisual)

[steep rose]

Yeah, so the child object

[rich adder]

That’s the one that need 0,0,0, since it’s restive to parent

[pale ocean]

nah nvm the parent is a bit higher

in the y direction

by 1

[rich adder]

Putting parent at 0,0,0, doesn’t do anything but reset it to world 0 pos

[pale ocean]

yeah

[steep rose]

If you moves the capsule you moved the child

[pale ocean]

i know

[rich adder]

Yeah so the child needs to be 0,0,0 not the parent

[pale ocean]

it is

i said the parent was on 0,1,0

and the child is on 0,0,0

[rich adder]

Ok now it’s correct

[pale ocean]

yeah

thanks all

[rich adder]

Good

[steep rose]

👍

[drowsy flare]

Okay I've scripted an enemy with movement, attacks, health etc. This includes public methods to deal damage to it and so on. This was all done in an EnemyController class in a single file.

It started to feel like it got too big, so I moved the HP-related things to a separate class/file. This would mean that I would need another public method for the EnemyController, to which I send a signal to die.

I'm starting to feel like it might just grows bigger for not very much benefit. Any guru that can guide me in the right direction? I intend for the same script to be used for multiple kinds of enemies, and control behaviour with public variables set in the [SerializeField]

[steep rose]

A code file like yours and like everyone's will always get bigger the more you add to it. You can make it look cleaner by reducing/eliminating nesting, unused code, etc.

You can also rewrite some code if you want to try and make it smaller. Trust me you should see some of my scripts 😅

If you really want to make it super clean you can remove brackets from if statements and push code up next to it (as long as it isn't more that 1 line)

If(something)
    // do something

[drowsy flare]

Thanks but what I'm asking is about separating it to different classes which interacts with each other via public methods, and if it's worth it?

You know, best practise?

[broken nest]

Hey, I got a sprite that disappears if I zoom in on the scene view, any idea why?

[drowsy flare]

Could it be that you're moving in the scene view, and simply move past it?

[broken nest]

No I zoom in on it and it disappears

[steep rose]

Check clipping plane

Wait I dont think unity has that, you can always press F to focuse on the object and it will adjust the clipping plane

[steep rose]

Do your functions all rely on each other to work?

Also this is 100% personal preference by the way

In my opinion you can do it by putting everything in 1 script but I think you should separate health in it's own script then applying that to everything you want it for, you could do the same for damage if you would like.

[drowsy flare]

Damage is already moved to it's weapon

Yeah I think I'll separate it all to different classes

I instantiate a new weapon for the enemy when it loots a weapon, so I kind of needed that separate

[cosmic island]

Hello, I am a Unity beginner and I tried makin an Idle Game I thought of myself but I struggle with it a lot. I have a concrete idea of what and how I want to make it with rooms for improvment. Is there anyone intrested in making Idle games here? I have troubles with coding and putting it together, I used to work as a project manager so I am good at organizing, making ideas and creating content. The games are different then the classic Clicker games and I would love to talk about them with anyone who is interested in colabing on this. I just wanna be able to play them since I havent find any idle games like the ones I thought of.

[pliant sleet]

Does it have something to do with my animation that changes the camera's rotation that I can't move my camera on the Y axis ? The controller normally allows the camera to move so

Hey.

int[] ints = new int[] { 1, 2 };

ints -= 1; //error

How do I subtract arrays like this?

[languid spire]

[steep rose]

we would need to see code

is the ground layermask on the slope?

Mouse.current.leftButton.wasPressedThisFrame sucks in fixed update what else should I use? it detects like 20% of the time because it's a fixed update

[cosmic dagger]

ints is a collection that holds multiple integer values. You cannot subtract from a collection; you need to access each element from the collection to get the integer value . . .

[frank flare]

it detects like 20% to somewhere 30% of the time

[steep rose]

Private Void Update()

i would recommend looking at unity documentation for this

as well

[frank flare]

I know but I want to do it in a fixed update

[jolly temple]

yes

[steep rose]

also i have never seen that type of input before

[steep rose]

change ground distance

[jolly temple]

when the character go up here, it can't jump

[steep rose]

can you select the slope and take a picture of the inspector

[frank flare]

it's system input or how it's called

[jolly temple]

here

[steep rose]

i understand its an input, why couldnt you use if(input.getkeydown(keycode.iforgetwhatthemouseiscalled))

[frank flare]

idk people say system input is more fancy

[steep rose]

what?

[frank flare]

input system

anyways I'll do it through update then ig

[steep rose]

i get that, how is it fancy

🤔

[frank flare]

idk tbh

[spiral oak]

its just more easily configurable but for small projects its not worthy tbh

[steep rose]

change grounddistance while on slope in game

[frank flare]

oh ok I'm doing small projects

[spiral oak]

unless youre planning to make them for different platforms or you want configurable projects but thats unlikely in small projects

[lofty palm]

I have this weird problem where the script can access things within the child of the hit gameobject but cant access things within the actual gameobject. https://pastebin.com/P8V1ARZw - line 6 works perfectly while 10 and 11 don't

[spiral oak]

yeah old input system is way faster

[frank flare]

loosing my time over I don't know what I'm doing

[spiral oak]

what do you mean lines 10 and 11 dont work?

do they log an error to console?

[lofty palm]

I get a nullreference exception

[languid spire]

obviously the components are not on the hit.transform object

[spiral oak]

oh lol

[lofty palm]

but they are on the gameobject

[steep rose]

if they are on the parent use the getparentcomponent

[lofty palm]

which is the confusing part

[languid spire]

how do you konw? you have debugged nothing to check

[steep rose]

if if you are hitting the parent and the components are in one of the children use getchildcomponent

[spiral oak]

wasnt it something like GetComponentInChildren?

[steep rose]

yes

my mistake

[jolly temple]

how do i do that?

[steep rose]

change grounddistance from Private to Public in your code

[lofty palm]

I can see in the inspector that the script is attached to the gameobject Im interacting with

[jolly temple]

ah alr

[steep rose]

then go in game and adjust

[languid spire]

you are just guessing that is the hit object

[lofty palm]

theres nothing else with the same tag

[languid spire]

then debug.log the hit object and prove it

[lofty palm]

I just did, it points to the player(clone) gameobject which has the needed components

[languid spire]

code does not lie, if it says NRE you have a NRE

[cosmic dagger]

Facts . . .

[jolly temple]

so I increase it and it works, but when I jump to the next platform it goes false so I can't jump

[spiral oak]

hey, quick question about Unity UI Toolkit
basically i have a GUI composed of createable and deleteable menus (VisualElements), composed by a Visual Tree (which i show in the image below) and a manipulator
would it be worth it to make an object pool just for these VisualElements?

is it expensive to load a visual tree?

[steep rose]

check the same steps i told you before, does that platform have the layermask, also lower the distance a bit. you seem to be floating when you hit the ground

make the distance good enough to go up the slope

nothing more

[primal trench]

hey! im not an expert on subclasses,
if i have a class, Item
and a subclass WeaponItem
and a list of items, how would i sort by which items are weaponitems?

[languid spire]

you could sort on the Type of the item

[jolly temple]

so I tried increasing the distance but this happened

[primal trench]

wdym? sorry

[steep rose]

dont just increase distance always, i said make the distance good enough to go up the slope

so lower it to just enough to go up the slope

[languid spire]

presuming you have a

List<Item>

you can make a custom comparer which uses GetType() as the comparing factor

[steep rose]

have you tried to !learn how to use unity?

[eternal falcon]

:teacher: Unity Learn ↗

nah

should I try it?

[steep rose]

i would suggest that you do, im not trying to start any hostility its just you are not reading what im saying correctly

[marble hemlock]

Quick question, Vector3.up, forward, etc refer to the game objects position relative to itself rather to the world?

[rich adder]

World

[marble hemlock]

Ah

[rich adder]

transform would be local

[marble hemlock]

Thank you

[drowsy flare]

Is there a builtin method to check if a state exist in an animator?
Like, I wanna check if "death" exists before tring to play it
gameObject.GetComponent<Animator>().Play("death");

[rich adder]

check the name of the animation clip

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Animator.GetCurrentAnimatorStateInfo.html
https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/AnimatorStateInfo.IsName.html

oh wait you wanted to check if it exists at all .

dont use animator component

use animator

[drowsy flare]

Yeah, I was actually looking at browsing through the animations and use IsName to check if it occured, but thought that there has to be an easier way?

Hmm I think you lost me

[rich adder]

you can loop animator to check which clips are there

[drowsy flare]

Oooh, thanks

[rich adder]

Animation component afaik was deprecated no ?

[languid spire]

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Animator.HasState.html

[rich adder]

whats stateID though ?

[drowsy flare]

I was looking at this, but it only accepted int as input

[rich adder]

You can just use this, check if array contains it
https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/RuntimeAnimatorController-animationClips.html

[languid spire]

probabley a String2Hash of the state name

[marble hemlock]

Hit Lerp on the beginning scripting pathway and it's purpose is to calculate the point between A and B using percentages?

This one didn't have a video so there isn't really a demonstration

[rich adder]

lerp is giving the result between two values by ratio. but yea you can think of it as A to B by ratio amount 0-1 ( or 0-100%) if you look at it like percentages

has nothing to do with pathways or anything specific though

in this case it helps "smooth" out movement or other values, over time if you modify the ratio, but its not the only use case ofc

[languid spire]

So go and read the docs

[ionic zephyr]

Should I create a Dropdata component in which I specify variables such as Drop Chance or the Weapon that is necessary to use in order to obtain this drop or should I just add it to ItemData(even though not all Items are going to be obtained by a certain drop)

[drowsy flare]

Awesome, thanks a lot

[rich adder]

so are we to assume what these all mean without context?

[ionic zephyr]

Imagine a tree that drops different types of Items which have an Item SO which defines their data, should I include the dropRate and the weapon necessary to collect the item (as an enum) in that SO or is it better to create a separate component to include that information?

[plucky radish]

hi

[rich adder]

ohh..I would make it a seperate component tbh but thats just me

i like to have specific components handle their specific tasks

for drops I just store the SO in array then pick whatever from there based on loot table for example

[ionic zephyr]

So ItemData and DropData could be separate components right?

[primal trench]

so like list[i].GetType == typestuf
?

[rich adder]

I would do it so yes. If it makes sense for your system, use that
DropData would be where you stored your drops SO yes?

[languid spire]

something like that, did you go and read the docs on Comparers in C# ?

[ionic zephyr]

also, when I Instantiate the drop, the GameObject I instantiate contains an "Overworld Item" component which handles the collection of it. However, does it have to contain the Drop Component as well?

[primal trench]

no, that may help

could u link?

[rich adder]

why would the item dropped care about the drop component at all ?

thats "in the past"

item was dropped already, it doesnt need to know about the dropper or any of that

[languid spire]

wot? No Google?
Start here https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.collections.generic.list-1.sort?view=net-8.0 and drill down

[ionic zephyr]

So the dropper should have a DropComponent List and drop the chosen Item by Instantiating a GameObject with the OverWorld Component?

[rich adder]

depends on your set up, generally you spawn the prefab you want witht he components already on it yes

@brazen escarp ha nice try scammer

bot has outsmarted you

[ionic zephyr]

In my architecture, the Dropper has a List of "OverworldItems" that can be instantiated, then a process is carried out to choose what drop to pick and finally it instantiates

[rich adder]

okay yeah that sounds fine

[ionic zephyr]

however, the problem here is that the dropRate, for example, should be included in the OverworldItems to choose what drop to pick but, you are right, that doesn´t make any sense because why should a component like that store that information?

[rich adder]

You could have a dropRate chance or something on it , it might be acceptable on ItemData too

or you can store it in a dictionary as well tbh (less clutter but more processing each time to access the dictionary just to read a value)

[ionic zephyr]

yes, but what about if I don´t want all of my items to be obtainable by drop?

[rich adder]

yes then you should have a component for that, if it has that Drop component then read its data such as dropchance etc

even item data can have it tbh. You can just check if its Null for example , that can mean the item is not Droppable / obtainable that way

[tepid idol]

You want the whole folder?

[ionic zephyr]

but when the object intantiates it will still have that Component, but it has no use once it is put onto the world

[ionic zephyr]

Okay, that may be a good way to solve it

thanks for your attention

[rich adder]

yeah then go with second option for sure
if(itemData.dropData == null) // item is not a droppable

[muted wadi]

does anyone here have experience with coding a tank controller? I need it to react with uneven and slanted surfaces without using a whole separate system for treads joints. I was wondering if anyone knows if that is achievable just using the normals of the slanted surfaces

[rich adder]

wdym by "react with uneven and slanted surfaces "

[frank flare]

    void FixedUpdate()
    {
        if (isHolding) {
            objectHolding.transform.position = transform.parent.gameObject.transform.position + posToHoldAnObject;
        }
    }
}

how do I make a player hold an object? objectholding is object that is being holded and the script is attached to MainCamera. This one doesn't do what I want when I rotate my camera it holds an object in the wrong direction

I don't want to parent an object that I hold to maincamera cus it will noclip then

currently I'm preparing to add rigidbody3d

[rich adder]

setting position manually is still gonna be imprecise

[frank flare]

I will change it later to rigidbody3d forces or velocity but rn keeping it like that to make at least something work

[rich adder]

if you are using rigidbody then use the velocity or movePosition

then simply do heldpos-rigidbody.position

apply direction accordingly to vel

[muted wadi]

its kind of hard to see but the terrain here is very rough and jagged. If i use a box collider then it quickly gets out of hand and starts bouncing when moving into slanted edges. This could be fixed by using treads with joints, but coding a system like that takes far too long and is overkill imo.

[rich adder]

wouldnt you just use Raycast to get the normal ?

then use Project dir or something

[muted wadi]

of course i know how to get the normal, but im just asking if the object not rapidly jerking between each slanted surface is achievable

[frank flare]

I just want it to work how I expect it to work then I'll change it to rigidbody, should be same thing

[languid spire]

why not use wheel colliders like most tank controllers?

[rich adder]

I told you how to do it

[frank flare]

how can I hold in the right direction?

[rich adder]

idk what "jerking" means in this context so idk the cause

[frank flare]

where?

[muted wadi]

is it even possible to apply the wheel collider to tank treads? They're less wheels and more like smooth edge rectangles

[rich adder]

subtract the positions to get a direction and apply it to the rigidbody velocity

freeze the rotation if you dont want it to spin

[languid spire]

I suggest you go and look at a decent tank tread tutorial

[steep rose]

tank treads are wheels, they are about 8 wheels with suspension

the tread is there for grip

[muted wadi]

oh you're right actually

damn

[steep rose]

so yes

[frank flare]

but I'm doing right now without a rigidbody,
how should I substract it?

[rich adder]

subtracting two points gives you a direction with a magnitude

regardless of rigidbody

[frank flare]

objectHolding.transform.position = transform.parent.gameObject.transform.position + posToHoldAnObject; what would I do with it (posToHoldAnObject is just vector3(0, 0, 2))

[languid spire]

you use wheel colliders and a skinned mesh renderer, it works real well

[rich adder]

first id make the hold position a seperate gameobject so its easy toget the consistent position according to direction

objectHolding.transform.MoveTowards( objectHolding.position, objectHolder.position, speed *time.deltaTime)

[scarlet hawk]

Is there a way to deactive the gameobject and when it turns on again it gets reassigned again? or do i have to do the manipulation there manually too?

[rich adder]

OnEnable

reassigned to what exactly tho

[carmine lagoon]

@rich adder may I ask a question? i did this already

CS0120 An object reference is required for the non-static field, method, or property

i kinda understand dot notations now but when I try it it gives me this error

(reference question to the reply)

[rich adder]

because you're probably trying to use the Class directly and not the instance of the class

[scarlet hawk]

i have a class who holds reference to the player, when the player gets deactivated it turns null but then when it gets turned on again it stays null

[steep rose]

also look up the error code

that will usually tell you

[carmine lagoon]

ohhh so I need to make an instance within the class first then call it out

[rich adder]

why does it set to null in the first place

[rich adder]

well no.. the Instance is the one on the gameobject

reference that

MB shouldn't be created inside other classes

[scarlet hawk]

im not sure, im doing gameobject.SetActive(false);

and it turns null

[rich adder]

huh..afaik making a gameobject inactive should not break references

is the player a new player or something

[languid spire]

Are you using .Find as well ?

[scarlet hawk]

its the same one

[scarlet hawk]

no, its being assigned on the inspector

[languid spire]

then something else must be setting it to null. SetActive will not do that

[rich adder]

check for any GetComponent too

[carmine lagoon]

if i understood it right then I need to make an instance for the public transform target?

[rich adder]

you need to reference the Turret script that is on the GameObject

[languid spire]

no. you are probably trying to do Turret.Target. you need to use an instance of the Turret class to access it's Target property

[rich adder]

on that note, the instance in the case of unity MB is when they are on a gameobject

[carmine lagoon]

ohhh this one

[rich adder]

thats what I said earlier when you are trying to Use the class and not the instance

[carmine lagoon]

okay okayyy

[rich adder]

the class is just a blueprint to an object

if its not monobehaviour derived, then its created with new()

monobehaviours instances are created by unity though when you run the game

so to recap, the script (component) thats on a gameobject is the Instance

so when you see Null Reference bla bla "Not set to instance of an object"

it doesnt know which instance you want because its not assigned

[carmine lagoon]

so for example with the one that I did. I would make another instance for Target? since just declaring it would be using the turret class directly?

[rich adder]

if you want to access the target on this turrent you need to reference the specific turrent instance you want the target from, plain and simple

the script is already on a gameobject

that is for example the actual instance

click it it leads you to the gameobject

[rocky canyon]

if Target.cs is a class
you could declare it like
Target myTarget;
then u just assign which instance u want that reference to refer to
myTarget = GetComponent<Target>(); or drag and drop a gameobject that has a Target script attached to it into the slot

[rich adder]

when you do [SerializeField] Turret turret
u drag it into the slot
and the code just does
turret.target

[rocky canyon]

for a public Target myTarget for example

https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/60554748/227689794-0f5b9380-7db1-4a99-91c5-0644e45e8cf3.gif

not reference the actual Apple class.. just an instance of it that exists on the Apple gameObject

[carmine lagoon]

it doesn't have a game object rn to target since I use a function to detect enemies

[rocky canyon]

well ur Target is actually a Transform

all gameobjects have a transform

[rocky canyon]

ahh i see

[carmine lagoon]

so that's why I cant do this

[rocky canyon]

ya, but u can still access target from Turret

Turret yourTurret; <-- if this is assigned to a turret
then it'll have a Target
but currently its private.. so u couldn't access it outside hte class anyway

oh u have a public one too

my bad im just waking up 😅

[carmine lagoon]

https://hatebin.com/ndlmsilvso here is my code if you wanna see

[rocky canyon]

👍 thnks im lookin for the original quesiton too

[carmine lagoon]

this one?

[rocky canyon]

well theres this.. if ur trying to access target before ur assigning it the target = hits part it'll be null

[carmine lagoon]

yea i understand that

[rocky canyon]

could wrap ur code thats using it in a conditional

if(target != null) -> run the code

else ignore it until its not

the code isnt loading btw

[carmine lagoon]

kinda get it now

[rocky canyon]

so im just guessing

ohh there it goes!

[rocky canyon]

ohh i see now

yea its here.. like navarone was saying.. thast the actual class Turret

[carmine lagoon]

yeaaa

[rocky canyon]

you need to access an instance to it intsead

[carmine lagoon]

so i'll make like target new target?

[rich adder]

no

make the reference w variable , and use the variable name

[rocky canyon]

[SerializedField] Turret myTurret;

void Start(){
target = myTurret.target;
}

this target = myTurret's target

[carmine lagoon]

ohh so doing it directly would mess up the code that's why when I call Turret.Target in the other game object, it wont work

[rocky canyon]

you cant new() a monobehaviour i dont think

[rich adder]

only difference access the Target uppercase

[rich adder]

wdym "doing it directly"

unless Target was static (ie it belong to the class itself) you need an instance

Turret (uppercase ) is just a class, a blueprint

[rocky canyon]

well the script is asking for Turrets target.. Turret may never exist.. or it may exist 1000 times.. it doesn't know which Turret to get target from..
(until its put on a gameobject aned assigned target isn't really a value its just a type)

"This will be this type of variable"

[rich adder]

I need this blueprint to do X and Y.
Which instance(spawned object) of this blueprint do you want?

[rocky canyon]

^ yea think of it like that

its like when you use gameObject.transform <-- this will get the transform from the GameObject your script is on.
BUT if u say GameObject.transform its gonna error out just like ur doing now

b/c GameObject is a type.. it isn't an actual instance of a gameobject.. which gameObject is

same thing w/ ur Turret.. and theTurretReference

[rich adder]

to add to the confusion, if the field/method/prop is Static then it does indeed belong to the class itself

such as static methods like GameObject.Find etc.

[rocky canyon]

hell ya! lolo

🤫 statics are sleeping.. lets not wake them yet

[rich adder]

damm you static :shakefist

[rocky canyon]

i think i abuse statics

im pretty sure i do

[rich adder]

they are very handy when used properly for sure

[carmine lagoon]

ohhh since the turret is a class i just cant call it. so i need to make an instance of it

[rich adder]

yes

[rocky canyon]

yes!! EXACTLY

[carmine lagoon]

that's why we made new variables

[rocky canyon]

YES!! exactly

[rich adder]

but in this case Unity makes the instance

Vector3 is also a struct(similiar to class) but because its not a component but a regular c# object we use new()

[rocky canyon]

its a recipe.. you dont eat the paper recipe..

you cook the meal using the recipe.. and eat that instead

[rich adder]

haha good anaolgy , now I'm hungry 😋

[rocky canyon]

eureka moment

steve about to drop some truth bombs

[languid spire]

you've never tasted my wifes cooking, the paper one tastes better

[carmine lagoon]

i understand now

[rich adder]

with enough time and no food, you will eat that paper

[rocky canyon]

savage af.. i wont tell her 🤫

[rich adder]

Steve surpised you didn't build a personal Rosey to cook

[rocky canyon]

at least ur wife cooks

[languid spire]

she damn well doesn't,, at least if I can help it

[rocky canyon]

my wife just knows how to use my card to order out

I just cant.. lmfao! too early to laugh this hard

[rich adder]

id kick mine out cause I'm the one who makes the fire food lol

[frank flare]

is and operator & or &&?

[languid spire]

can't order out here, we live in the middle of nowhere, nowhere to order from

[rocky canyon]

&& is a if conditional. not sure what & is.. i forget

[summer stump]

Both. Use the second
&& will shortcircuit if the first is false, meaning it won't need to do both conditions for no reason. & will always check both

[frank flare]

ok

[rocky canyon]

& is a bitty bit thing

[rich adder]

the & confusing cause of its usage in bit operations

[rocky canyon]

yea bits i was right! 🙂

if (conditionA && conditionB)
{
    // This block will not execute because conditionA is false,
    // so conditionB is never evaluated.
}```
```cs
if (conditionA & conditionB)
{
    // This block will not execute because the overall result is false,
    // but both conditionA and conditionB are evaluated.
}```

[carmine lagoon]

with this it doesn't have an error anymore. But my antivirus still won't output the target of the turret

[rich adder]

we dont know what that means

we dont know your game

[rocky canyon]

so Debug.Log(target); prints what?

nothing

[carmine lagoon]

just null

[rocky canyon]

then target hasnt been assigned to anything in the turret when Start() goes off

i just put that line in Start() as an example

not sure it makes sense in ur context

[carmine lagoon]

ohhh okay okay

wait i think i get it now

wait let me try it

[rocky canyon]

if Turret was null you'd get an error when trying to access it

but if target was null.. no error b/c ur just assigning a value to null.. nothing technically wrong w/ that

so its not a legit error

[carmine lagoon]

yaaay

i got it

[rocky canyon]

🥳 whoopwhoop

congrats 🎉

[carmine lagoon]

so it just reference the turret during the first frame

that's why it didnt work

so anything that needs update should be in update

makes sense

[rich adder]

only if its local

[rocky canyon]

well, yes and no

[rich adder]

did you only make a local variable?

if you assign a field it should persist through the whole class not just within 1 method

[rocky canyon]

show ur newest versions of ur scripts (after u get done tinkering)

[carmine lagoon]

okayyy

https://hatebin.com/pnzuawatiy

[rich adder]

you dont need to assign it every frame

[carmine lagoon]

yeaaa the myTurret right?

[rocky canyon]

its usually ^ yea not advised to do things every frame unless u need to..

[rich adder]

no that would be a field, its not local

[rocky canyon]

now if ur Turrets target will be changing thruout the game..

[rich adder]

its correct but not sure why you moved it from start

[rocky canyon]

then i guess it makes sense sorta

[carmine lagoon]

yea it needs to

[rich adder]

once you get a reference type, its the same object

[carmine lagoon]

that's the idea

[rocky canyon]

it wasn't assigned via the Turret @ start..

his Turret script needs time to assign one i think

[carmine lagoon]

yeaa

[rocky canyon]

and if its ever-changing.. then u need to update it

[carmine lagoon]

yeaaa

[rocky canyon]

Events would be how iwould do that..

[rich adder]

oh right target is assigned Update in other script

[rocky canyon]

but not gonna recommend events to them just yet

[rich adder]

yes event would be good

[rocky canyon]

or ur Turret script could (Loop thru all ur antiviruslvl1 scripts) and assign the target once it has it

[rich adder]

btw you can just write this as
public Transform Target => target;
no need to have a public setter on this if you have a backing field setting it

[rocky canyon]

(that way its only being assigned that once for every target change)

[carmine lagoon]

ohhh, since i have a field now it doesn't need a setter anymore]

[languid spire]

tbh you might as well call FindTarget from the property rather than doimg it in Update

[rich adder]

correct

[carmine lagoon]

okayyyy~

[rich adder]

yeah you could technically just put it when you get

[languid spire]

that is, after all, the whole point of properties, to execute extra code

[rich adder]

"field with benefits" lol

[languid spire]

absolutely

[carmine lagoon]

I like the idea of how y'all tutoring me like a kid hehe, I learn more with actual people teaching me, quite interactive ig?

really thankful for yall advices and teachings

[languid spire]

You've still got a long way to go but at least you're trying to learn which is more than can be said for most of the people that come here

[carmine lagoon]

i mean. It's interesting to have projects like this and quite having fun learning too

[languid spire]

It's gotta be fun, I've been doing this for a long, long time and I still find it fun

[rocky canyon]

https://hatebin.com/cckizqswbq

just another example.. you could for example have a script that knows about all the things needing a target..

then for-loop thru them and set the target any time the Master (ur turret) target has changed

buts its all relative.. and how you need things to work.. but i feel like ur catching on regardless 👍

[celest isle]

hi, im following a very basic tutorial on c# and i have to write the very basic command Console.Windowheight, but when i do i get this error: This call site is reachable on all platforms. 'Console.WindowHeight.set' is only supported on: 'windows'.
does anyone know a solution?

[carmine lagoon]

ohh so any gameobject that needs a target would automatically have this turret as their reference

without needing to assign them one by one

[rocky canyon]

well in my example my Master which is ur Turret (it has the main Target) knows about all the other scripts that need a target

[stone pilot]

Hello, I was just wondering how can I find good sounds for my game , every time I start polishing my game I don't know how to find sounds

[rich adder]

Console class isnt used in unity

[rocky canyon]

so when it gets assigned it runs a loop thru all the other scripts calling

[languid spire]

I have no idea what you mean or why you are asking in a Unity server

[celest isle]

oh rip

[rocky canyon]

[rocky canyon]

many diferent placed.. but word of the wise.. (learn to audio-edit) urself.. using Audacity, Ripper, etc..

sounds are always almost what u need..but never exact

[languid spire]

Gotta love the way that any serious game dev puts a great ammount of effort into sounds for their games and then the first thing most game players do is turn the audio off

[rocky canyon]

(╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻

[rocky canyon]

sounds really do add all the environment to a game

nuance

[languid spire]

absolutely, very, very important for atmosphere

For real. For my first experience, that jump from soundless basketball game to "Lobby Music", "Level Music", "Ball Thump Thump", "Win Applaud", "Lose Womp Womp", etc. was sooooooo satisfying 😋

oh i imbed failed, one sec

[autumn lintel]

Does anyone know what this error entails: GameObject (named 'Euporia') references runtime script in scene file. Fixing! UnityEngine.GUIUtility:ProcessEvent (int,intptr,bool&)

The script on the Euporia gameobject is "missing" apprently

[tepid idol]

As for this, would these warnings be the reason I can't move my camera? https://i.gyazo.com/2cb1776b68a499846da5050002636c62.png

that's the only thing in the console

[summer stump]

No

[rocky canyon]

read them.. you know ur camera system more than we do.. (are any of these values that say are unused have anything to deal w/ ur camera)

just w/ an educated guess imma say that Building.cs doesn't have anything to do w/ the camera

[wide jolt]

anyone know whats going on with the velocity tracking? im sure theres a super simple fix i am just not seeing it....
I want my object to track my hand accurately and collide wth objects
(i want my hands to collide with objects too but that seems harder...)

[rich adder]

#🥽┃virtual-reality

[tepid idol]

No it doesn't. https://hastebin.com/share/vozawofaza.java

Here's the camera controller

I've been trying to figure this out for days and I just can't seem to figure it out

Inputs are also set up in Unity

I did follow a youtube tutorial about it and his seemed to work but not sure what I did differently. I don't think I did anything differently, I've watched the tutorial multiple times to confirm we wrote the same thing

[iron steeple]

how do i call variable across scripts can yall give me an example?

[rich adder]

https://unity.huh.how/references

[steep rose]

just like that

[iron steeple]

my puny brain cant handle it can i get more simplier one i barely understand english

[rich adder]

  public class Cat : MonoBehaviour
  {
      public void Pet() { /*purrrrr*/ }
  }
  public class Human : MonoBehaviour
  {
      [SerializeField] private Cat cat;
      void Awake()
      {
          cat.Pet();
      }
  }```

[raw token]

Awak

[rich adder]

opp

[raw token]

The forefathers of the Ewok? 🤔

[rich adder]

oh god lets forget that even existed

[raw token]

It's growing on me

[rich adder]

Awak is a cool char name

the Awakis

[iron steeple]

public class test : MonoBehaviour
{
    bool Isgrounded;
    CharacterController CC;
    float verticalspeed;
    float gravity = 9.81f;
    float height = 5;
]

public class GetTestValue : MonoBehaviour
{
    int test verticalspeed;

    public void Start()
    {
      ?????
    }
}

i dont get it until this far

[raw token]

Your camera just doesn't move at all, for any input? Or is it some specific input/movement?

[rich adder]

You need a REFERENCE

aka saying "I want something from This script"

[iron steeple]

how do i call it?

[rich adder]

you don't call anything

[iron steeple]

thats what im doing for the pass 15 minutes

[rich adder]

you only "call" methods

I showed you how to make a reference

[tepid idol]

It doesn't move at all

[iron steeple]

but cant i not just get one of the variable?

[umbral rock]

can someone explain how the viewDir is calculated? i dont rly understand why he uses player.position - ...

[rich adder]

see how I want "Cat" to use something inside there from Human? a variable ( member field) , method, its all the same usage

also they need to be public

[queen adder]

Good and cute example 😭

[frosty hound]

To get a direction vector that points at something, you subtract the destination position with the start position.

[iron steeple]

public class test : MonoBehaviour
{
    public class GetSpeed()
    {
       float verticalspeed;
    }
    bool Isgrounded;
    CharacterController CC;
    float verticalspeed;
    float gravity = 9.81f;
    float height = 5;
]

public class GetTestValue : MonoBehaviour
{
    int test verticalspeed;

    public void Start()
    {
        verticalspeed.GetSpeed();
    }
}

Like this?

[rich adder]

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

subtracting two positions will give you direction with magnitude

[iron steeple]

honestly im more confused with unity api than c#

[raw token]

The reference stuff is just C#

[iron steeple]

so is this correct?

wtf

[rich adder]

wait yes

you just have piss poor variable names

it confused me

[iron steeple]

:/

[umbral rock]

is it important to know what these calculations do and why u use them to get good at coding?

[rich adder]

actualy no the more i look it and the worse it gets @iron steeple

this is gberish
public class GetSpeed()
{
float verticalspeed;
}

compile error

[frosty hound]

Well, yeah. If you want to know the direction to something it would be important to know how.

[rich adder]

did you read the docs I linked, it explained how useful are vectors n such calculations

they are particularly important in a game not much to do with being a good coder tbh

[iron steeple]

now im confused now

[summer stump]

Vectors are positions in a graph. In 2d it is exactly like middle school graphs. Subtracting them will give you the difference

[rocky canyon]

its more important to know what a thing does than how it does

[umbral rock]

oohh this explains it well, thanks! now i understand

[rocky canyon]

once u get more advanced its more important to know why it does rather than how it does

[rich adder]

you're confused because you need to take basic c# course. Id start with the ones in this channel pin

[queen adder]

I believe you should learn some more C# which will take your time a little (depends)

[umbral rock]

so if u dont know how its calculated and why its impossible to know how to write the code by urself?

[rocky canyon]

huh?

[rich adder]

vector math has nothing to do with writing code by yourself

[iron steeple]

why tho i feel confident on my c# im not used to unity api project

[rich adder]

its specific to game development not coding, things that move in a 2d/3d space etc.

[summer stump]

Your issue is a base c# issue. Nothing to do with unity

[raw token]

Probably unrelated, but you have a bunch of weird namespace imports that I don't think you're using

  using System.Runtime.CompilerServices;
  using Unity.VisualScripting;
  using UnityEditor.Experimental.GraphView;
  using Unity.VisualScripting.Dependencies.Sqlite;

That said, what is the Controls type?

[iron steeple]

nah man i dont even know how unity works

[summer stump]

Ok. But your issue had literally nothing to do with unity

[rocky canyon]

alot of good developers still dont know how unity works..

[summer stump]

It was just not understanding c# scopes and method returns

[rich adder]

forget the unity part, you need c# fundamentals

what you wrote is literally syntax error

it wouldnt even compile

[queen adder]

Dont get overwhelmed. The Unity is like built on top of C# which you can access the codes if you wanted to. Just knowing C#, you could understand how their systems work easily.

[rocky canyon]

knowing the Unity api is just icing on the cake..

[summer stump]

Good way to put it

[rich adder]

once you learn how read 1 api you can pretty much use many other libraries besides unity

[iron steeple]

okay how is that fix my problem with the one currently im facing its like your learning test blindly that has extra questions

[rocky canyon]

a lot of the times i go diggin in Unity's specific classes and methods i feel underwhelmed lol..
"yup, thats what i expected to see" But always expecting it to be some magic sorcery i cant understand lol

[iron steeple]

nah bro i feel more refined on c# than basics coding of unity

i dont want to start a fight but

[summer stump]

But... again... nothing about your issue had anything to do with unity at alll

[rich adder]

my guy, you wrote something completely nonsense unrelated to unity

[summer stump]

If you wrote the same thing OUTSIDE of unity, it would also be wrong

[iron steeple]

well i did follow your example

[rich adder]

not at all

[rocky canyon]

unity works off of standard c#.. it just has alot of helper functions along the way.. (thats the way i think of it)..
when i have a coding issue.. its b/c of broken c# code.. not broken unity code

[rich adder]

ontop of the other ones.. this would be another compile error

if you knew c# as you claim you'd know why this is wrong

[iron steeple]

since public void pet() can be deriavie from making method so i made a variable inside of that so the cat.Pet() would transfer the variable over script

[polar acorn]

This is not valid C# and never was in any api

[queen adder]

Agreeee When i need their built-in things, they somehow be internal or private to their own API only

[rich adder]

you wrote public **class ** "MethodName" instead of the return type of method

[iron steeple]

and yet you told me its correct?

[summer stump]

You wrote class GetSpeed()
That is broken c#

[rich adder]

yeah well I some parts looked correct at a glance, I quickly corrected myself though

[iron steeple]

didnt you also wrote it like this?

[rocky canyon]

a while ago alot of the stuff was leaked (accessible) but since then they've put a stop to it.. (alot of their stuff is now just hidden forever) lol

[polar acorn]

No they didn't

[rich adder]

where did I put an unrelated constructor in my Cat class..
cant even call that a constructor actually cause it has class infront if it.. the whole line is nonsense lol

[polar acorn]

There's nothing in there that says public class FunctionName()

[iron steeple]

oh i see how wrong actually

[summer stump]

Does it now make sense why we are saying it is a pure c# issue not related to unity now? We are not trying to be harsh.
A basic c# referesher would just be very helpful

[iron steeple]

public class GetSpeed() ---> public Void GetSpeed man yall didnt tell me what i did do wrong :/

[rocky canyon]

i think ur taking offense to a suggestion thats just meant to be helpful, more than anything

[summer stump]

I have almost a decade experience with c# and I just took another refresher

[summer stump]

We did multiple times

[rich adder]

thats one of the issues yes..

even if you put void it still logically makes no sense..

[iron steeple]

weird tho i just did a c# refresher like 4 days ago

[rich adder]

its just a local variable now sitting there..

[rich adder]

well You need a better course then cause it aint work

[modest dust]

Seems like you need another one if you managed to squeeze at least 3 obvious compile errors in that short piece of code

[raw token]

The type before a method identifier is the type of the value which it returns. void indicates that the method returns no value. So

void GetSpeed()

is a method which doesn't return anything... which seems strange for something named GetSpeed(), no?

[iron steeple]

thanks man bro this is much more helpful then telling me i have at least 3 errors jeez

[summer stump]

int speed;
This is a declaration. You are creating an int at value 0. It only exists in that method and then you throw it away
GetSpeed literally does nothing at all

Does that make sense?

[iron steeple]

a complier would also told me what and where does it located 😦

[rich adder]

tbh if you did a quick crashcourse on c# the problems would become obvious to you right away without us needing to explain it.

[modest dust]

Something even more helpful would be you going through a C# course because you seem to have issues with absolute fundamentals

[iron steeple]

weird i thought this is Beginner Coding not like treat me as a Advanced

[bitter tapir]

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

    yield return new WaitForSeconds(1f);
    Destroy(gameObject);
}

}
why delug.log("2"); doest work?

[summer stump]

#💻┃code-beginner message
Does this make sense?

[modest dust]

This is by no means advanced code, it's below beginner

[summer stump]

We are trying to help, but you just keep arguing that it is not a c# issue when it is
Please just let us help you

[rich adder]

no way I did that, I give you a literal example..wdym

[iron steeple]

yet yall treat me that i can solve 3 unexplain errors

[summer stump]

Does the objecr get destroyed from anywhere else?

[rich adder]

i sent you the page, you said it was hard, I made a code example as you asked. what more do you want

[summer stump]

Please stop ignoring what I said and arguing

[bitter tapir]

no

[summer stump]

Can you show the console uncropped? Including the icons on top right

[iron steeple]

i give example back and yall told me its half correct but yall like saying i should learn c# again while not explain what i did wrong in the line nor pointing it out

[summer stump]

Ok, stop

If you just want to complain and argue, then leave and calm down

[grave bluff]

is the script "las" on a gameobject with an audiosource. if not, nothing runs

[iron steeple]

why tho i just ask what i did wrong on the code yall didnt tell me 😭

[summer stump]

What you did wrong has been explaoned multiple times, very clearly

[steel stirrup]

You're expected to put in some minimal level of effort to educate yourself as well

[summer stump]

You keep ignoring it just to argue

just STOP ARGUING lol

I am done though.
Not gonna explain it again

[iron steeple]

but yall didnt point it out which one??????

[bitter tapir]

what?

[grave bluff]

nvm ignore what I said, you posted the pic of it right as I sent my message

[iron steeple]

i ask one thing to tell me where i did wrong and point it out? how am i supposed to correct my code if i dont know where is the error code line originated

[steel stirrup]

Unity editor and your IDE both give you that information

nice big red underlines

[iron steeple]

fair

[summer stump]

I answered multiple times. I even linked to it and said stop ignoring it. You continued ignoring it.
I am blocking you. You need to stop

why delug.log("2"); doest work?

[grave bluff]

what if you put another debug above the first wait, to check if the method is being run at all prior to the wait

[modest dust]

If you look at the channel description, it clearly says that it's for asking about things related to beginner coding concepts in Unity. Your issues are related to basic C# concepts. Most if not all issues were pointed out (as a remainder to gather every issue up - line 3, 5, 12 and 16) and you were advised to take a C# course. That's about it.

fair

[rich adder]

C<BB> does not work because BB does not match the BAbstract<A> constraint.

im no expert but you can probably use a common interface here ? or baseclass?

[quiet crater]

ty for reply 🙏 But AA extends A it's not 'the same thing' ?

[frigid schooner]

can you teach me step by step?

[rich adder]

ah yes sry
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/standard/generics/covariance-and-contravariance

so you can use baseclass ?

[steel stirrup]

It would be much, much better to just place a file in appdata or the registry that blocks the program from launching again rather than delete the files, that can easily be confused with malware

[steel stirrup]

(not to mention if you mess up while coding it there's a non-zero chance of you deleting a chunk of your unity project)

[bitter tapir]

it work

why would someone even do this..

[rich adder]

very inconvenient to the player..

[steel stirrup]

It's idiotic, but definitely a thing

There was a russian roulette game that popularized the concept awhile ago

[rich adder]

crazy..ima take it to the ultimate level and just make it so you can only install it once per pc. I had this concept before unity changed their per-install to uniques

these devlogs are brain rot.. no wonder some think making a game is just "lulz i paste from stackoverflow until it works"

[steel stirrup]

"Here's how I added a two hour ten minute unskippable cutscene so players cant refund"

[rich adder]

its printing or not?

[quiet crater]

i will yes but ( for this moment the only thing i do with if i exclude the type hinting and auto complete ) , i create a new object by that
i will try to understand the covariance 🙏

[rich adder]

Oh I was just reading that link cause yeah i had to refreshen up but yeah if it worked it worked xD

[queen adder]

Hey, how can I recreate the effect of the snippet of Mario when transitioning from 2D to 3D in Super Paper Mario, in Unity?
ex. https://youtu.be/nny1-SWK8Pk?t=5851

[rich adder]

so its not printing coroutine ?
is timescale set to 1?

or are you destroying / disabling the object

[bitter tapir]

no

[bitter tapir]

i dont know what is that

[rich adder]

oh wait ur just trying to destroy it?

just use the parameter inside the Destroy, it has a float for timer

[bitter tapir]

yea

[steel stirrup]

use a side scrolling orthographic camera normally, include functionality for switching it to a third person perspective camera

Your main issue is going to be it makes level design very """interesting"""

[bitter tapir]

what kind of parameter is this?

[rich adder]

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Object.Destroy.html

[queen adder]

No like, it's hard to explain but what I mean is Mario's animation when the room rotation is happening

[steel stirrup]

just rotate the sprite

[bitter tapir]

but without destroy the script doesn't work either

[steel stirrup]

if you want to get fancy, use a rendertexture of whatever is behind the character at the time and just arrange them under a parent transform then rotate the parent transform such that you get that effect

[rich adder]

wdym it doesn't ?
Did you put it on start ?

if it printed the log in Start its clear is working

[bitter tapir]

look

WHYYYYYYYYYYYY

[rich adder]

like i said, only thing that can coroutine is stopped without running stopCoroutine, TimeScale is not above 0, object gets disabled at some point, or destroyed

idk if Im missing something else

[polar acorn]

If the 2 never logs, then either:

1. The object is destroyed or deactivated before 3 seconds are up
2. You are modifying Time.timeScale somewhere

[bitter tapir]

I didn't do any of it

[rich adder]

How do I know that? the code thats running is saying otherwise

[rich adder]

start printing some logs maybe.

OnDisable() => Debug.Log("Disabled");
Update() { Debug.Log("Timescale: "+Time.timeScale); }
etc

[storm heath]

Hello brothers. I am new in programming. I need help.

[bitter tapir]

using System.Collections.Generic;

    // Start is called before the first frame update
    void Start()

    }
    void OnDisable()
    {
        Debug.Log("Disabled");
    }

}

[rich adder]

well there you go..

oh nvm that disabled is from stopping play..

[storm heath]

Brothers, Was anyone see my mesegasse? I need help!!!!!!!!!!!

TY for your try helping me 🙂

[storm heath]

Thanks

[rich adder]

hehe no problem!

[rich adder]

wdym by that?

yes that Disabled got called when you stopped the game thats why its last
When a scene gets closed / game stops the order is Disabled . Then OnDestroy runs

if object was disabled it would stop printing Update as well

[willow scroll]

BAbstract can be marked abstract

[quiet crater]

This is the case in the real code but thanks for noting it. it's an oversight on discord 🙏

[tepid idol]

I'm still pretty new so this is what I was following: https://youtu.be/kaU11fqe5yE?si=wcv5JT_soMJis-7L

[raw token]

Ah alright - so Controls is a class generated from an input asset 👍

Have you sprinkled some Debug.Log()s around to try and narrow down the problem? E.g.

      private void MoveStarted()
      {
          Debug.Log("MoveStarted called.");
          if (UI_Main.instance.isActive)
          {
              _moving = true;
              Debug.Log("Started moving...");
          }
      }

[steel shell]

im using this function each frame to detect if my player character is grounded but it is returning true a few frames (sometimes 1 or 2 frames but other times it takes a little longer) after jumping and I can't find why. the player is a capsule object with scale 1.

I'm using this to set the vertical speed to 0 if the player is on the ground

[rich adder]

you're saying its returning true while you you're in jump ?

[steel shell]

yes

[rich adder]

since you're not using layers its more than likely its hitting itself (player collider)

[steel shell]

ahhh that makes sense

[rich adder]

btw you can shorten this whole thing to just be return Physics.Raycast etc..
the else statement is redundant

[languid spire]

more than likely, it's still within the 1.01 range of the ground and so is considered grounded

[steel shell]

the jumpspeed is set to 100 and I am clearly off the ground

[languid spire]

but how far per frame?

[rich adder]

1 unit but also its starting from the pivot, it might be in the middle so take another /.5 off

[steel shell]

im like 2 player heights off the ground when it happens most of the time

so I dont think that is the problem

[steel shell]

is there a way I can disable it checking its own collider?

[rich adder]

yea put Player in its own Layer then put a serialized Layermask variable in this script then plug that in Raycast function

make sure to then only select Default layer or whatever other things you want to be considered ground

[steel shell]

hahah i will have to look up a tutorial for layers first in that case

[rich adder]

yeah layers are good way to filter out objects https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/Layers.html

think of them like Tags but better and applied across different usecases

then you use the https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/LayerMask.html type

[steel shell]

alright thanks :D

although its still weird the ray doesnt detect the player every frame in that case

[rich adder]

you can send the full script using a paste site

https://gdl.space n such

[steel shell]

https://gdl.space/terugozocu.cs

does this work?

ye

[rich adder]

how did you verify this delay ?

[steel shell]

what delay?

oh wait

[rich adder]

you said there is a slight delay when it goes into grounded

[steel shell]

debug.log

[rich adder]

btw * Time.deltaTime never do this on Mouse Inputs
mouse inputs are already framerate independent

[steel shell]

and then just looking at the console after i stopped the thingy mid jump

[steel shell]

they are still in the code btw

[rich adder]

use something like this

  private void OnGUI()
  {
      GUI.Label(new Rect(0, 20, 100, 75), grounded.ToString());
  }```

you should be able to see on top left corner the realtime value

[steel shell]

alright let me try

wait how do i use this?

I cant put it in the update but also not outside cuz there is no grounded variable there yet

nvm i got it somehow but it doesnt turn on grounded permanently

its just 1 frame

and then it lets the player drop to the actual ground

i forgot to say that earlier my bad

[rich adder]

put it in the class, not inside update lol

you should probably not be using Translate to move a character. Why are you not using the built in components like Rigidbody or Character Controller?

not saying that is the issue but just curious why moving transforms

[steel shell]

I want to make a counter strike surf clone for which I need some more control over physics and stuff so I thought it would be better to write my own stuff. that said I have no idea what the possibilities are in unity/C# so excuse me if my choices are questionable xD

the numbers are the vertical speed (deltatime not applied yet) and the hehehehheh is my code putting it to 0 because it is grounded

[tepid idol]

I did run debug in Unity and fixed the one problem it had. It didn't come up with anything about camera control

[tepid idol]

I honestly have no idea how to do Debug.Log() but yuour example kinda shows me, I'll run through it

[steel shell]

also ive just turned off the collider to check and this seems to be true

[dire flare]

Hello guys am about to run wild pls can someone teach me or show me a simple way to shoot in unity without using ray cast method am tired of dropping bombs as bullet pls urgent

[frank flare]

how can I check if an object has a rigidbody in it?

[polar acorn]

TryGetComponent

[rich adder]

try printing the Hit.collider.name then

[frank flare]

what?

[frank flare]

if objectHolding.GetComponent<Rigidbody>(); ?

[polar acorn]

TryGetComponent

[frank flare]

ok

[steel shell]

there are no other colliders than the player collider

[languid spire]

!learn

[eternal falcon]

:teacher: Unity Learn ↗

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

[steel shell]

so I'm sure its that

[rich adder]

well i still see from the code you sent there is no layermask being used so..

also it wouldnt hurt for you to print the hit.collider.name would it to confirm what its grounded on?

[frank flare]

so there's if (TryGetComponent<HingeJoint>(out HingeJoint hinge)) on unity what does out do? can I remove it?

[steel shell]

its grounded on the one other object i have in the scene

[polar acorn]

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Component.TryGetComponent.html

[steel shell]

which is a terrain

[rich adder]

out in this case gives the value returned if operation is correct

[frank flare]

that's what I'm saying

[polar acorn]

Did you read it

[dire flare]

Am here to learn

[polar acorn]

It says what it does

[steel shell]

so for now I can just turn the player collider off and when I need it again when i start working on slopes I will make sure to set up layers and all

[rich adder]

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/language-reference/keywords/out

The out keyword is especially useful when a method needs to return more than one value since more than one out parameter can be used e.g.

[steel shell]

thanks for the help though

[rich adder]

why would you do that instead of just using the layers and layermask to filter the raycast..

[steel shell]

because that is a lot of work i dont need to be doing yet

[frank flare]

so it just assigns object hingejoint to hinge

[rich adder]

it returns the found HingeJoint in this case

if the if statement is true (the component was found)

[frank flare]

yep

[rich adder]

do note this only looks for it on the same object you tell it, it doesnt look on all the objects too (child or parent)

[frank flare]

yeah pretty simple

[rich adder]

wait till you readup on ref and have a two way value

[dire flare]

Pls I have done three days now looking for one solution pls can someone teach me how to shoot without using ray cast method

[polar acorn]

spawn a bullet prefab

[warm raptor]

and add a rigidbody

[rich adder]

Instantiate

AddForce Impulse, crank that speed. bullet go brrrr

[warm raptor]

but be carefull this method is not the best option in every case

[dire flare]

Show me pls

[rich adder]

show what? You're the one who's supposed to do it lol

[dire flare]

Do what

[rich adder]

start making bullets

[warm raptor]

if you want here is a the part that "shoot" in my fps:

private void Fire()
    {
        MagAmo -= 1;
        MagAmoText.text = $"{MagAmo}";
        Vector3 shootDirection = ShootPoint.up;
        
        // Ajouter une dispersion aléatoire
        shootDirection.x += Random.Range(-dispersionAngle, dispersionAngle) * Mathf.Deg2Rad;
        shootDirection.y += Random.Range(-dispersionAngle, dispersionAngle) * Mathf.Deg2Rad;

        shootDirection.Normalize();

        Quaternion initialRotation = Quaternion.Euler(0, 0, -90);
        GameObject AmoInstance = Instantiate(AmoPrefab, ShootPoint.position, ShootPoint.rotation * initialRotation);
        Rigidbody AmoRigidbody = AmoInstance.GetComponent<Rigidbody>();
        if (AmoRigidbody != null)
        {
            AmoRigidbody.AddForce((shootDirection)*ShootForce, ForceMode.Impulse);
        }
    }

[dire flare]

I have watch many tutorials and they codes never works with mine

[rich adder]

well maybe it isn't the code?

[rich adder]

fun fact you can spawn the AmoInstance already as Rigidbody, as long as you change AmoPrefab type to Rigidbody

skips unecessary GetComponent and null check

[dire flare]

Sorry to say but this code is for advance users

[rich adder]

that code is not really advanced at all though

[raw token]

Instantiation of a projectile is covered in the first couple of units of the Junior Programmer Pathway

[dire flare]

Let me check it out

[dire flare]

How many years have you done learning unity

[rich adder]

I never stop learning!
i only started 2020

[silk night]

1.5 years till first job, now about 6 years and I still feel like a beginner 😄

[rich adder]

i literally feel like I know nothing lol

[dire flare]

You got the knowledge of programming in school right

[rich adder]

nope

self teaching mostly , lots of times spent on google.

its good to take courses such as CompScience to just get a bit more RAW knowledge how everything works , things like big O notation etc

[warm raptor]

with all the help you've given me and everyone else on this server, I can assure you that you know a lot more than you think you do. 👍

[rich adder]

yeah but compared to the veterans here its like 2% haha getting there slowly

[dire flare]

I have less than one year to start working in gaming studio so am not going to fall back

[rich adder]

if you want to start you need to start simple

[dire flare]

I only started 6 month ago

[rich adder]

you're jumping right away into wanting to make bullets guns and stuff you will be overwhelmed

[steep rose]

dont jump in to the deep end, keep it shallow until you can learn to swim

[warm raptor]

at the same time, it's really hard to become a "veteran" without having studied in the field for a long time and without having had extensive professional experience.

[rich adder]

making a box move on your own without tutorials or googling , just the docs maybe, has a different feel

its simple but if you do it all on your own, you get that good dopamine rushh

[warm raptor]

that so true

[dire flare]

But does that mean that I have to have full knowledge of programming c#

[frosty hound]

No

[rich adder]

I dont think anyone here has full knowledge of c#

there is soo much , and it changes over time

You will know what you need to know to do what you want

[dire flare]

Thanks for the advice bro

Open eight gate of death I must learn everything I want to

That is my ninja way

[rich adder]

code is like a basket full of tools, its up to you how you use that

[warm raptor]

I just had a small question, do the bones work like games-objects, if I want the character's arms to rise and fall following the rotation of the arms in the "FPS" view, can I just apply the rotation to the arm bones or will it not work because of the character's animations?

[naive raven]

Hey guys!

I need some help with coding. I have another script that has a public function named TakeDamage and I referenced it in this new script, but it wont reference it. I'm having some trouble.

Basically what I'm trying to do is make it so when the damage happens, it'll play a random sound.

[rich adder]

put IK and use the spine bone to tilt up and down

[naive raven]

this is the other scriipt

[rich adder]

try regen project file

[eternal needle]

Look at the error, its telling you why the first call to TakeDamage doesnt work

[wintry quarry]

TakeDamage is a method that returns nothing.

Why are you using it in an if statement and without ()?

[rich adder]

but also yeah you're using the class instead of instance

[wintry quarry]

Also you are using the class name instead of the variable yeah

[warm raptor]

reassure me, it's not the only solution ?! 🫠

[naive raven]

i thought it was the only logical reason 🤷‍♂️

[wintry quarry]

Huh?

[rich adder]

I mean you can probably just rotate the bone transform now as is, IK just helps with moving everything together so it make sense. Unity has Animation Rigging package, IK is quite easy

[wintry quarry]

None of your code makes sense currently. You should step back and learn some of the basics of C#

[naive raven]

I have, I'm still a beginner at this

[wintry quarry]

You need to learn more because you haven't got a grasp on the basics of objects, types, variables, and functions

It will be hard to do anything without that

I recommend https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/learn/csharp

[warm raptor]

okay, I'll see if I can't do a mix between putting an IK on the spine and rotating the arms, because with all the equipment I've put on the player, if I bend his spine too much, it'll break everything.

[serene thorn]

how do i reference the grip button being pressed on the right/left hand controller with xr interaction toolkit?

[rich adder]

wish I knew, I dont have vr 😢
maybe #🥽┃virtual-reality will know

[serene thorn]

alright

[rich adder]

do you want to just rotate arms or chest too, cause you need to compromise or fix whatever issue you got

you can also limit the amount of IK based on angle too, ie less weight on IK component when you're hitting "extreme" bend angles

[naive raven]

I reworked it all into the target script

[warm raptor]

actually I just checked and it doesn't deform/break my character too much, but I don't really see how the spine has to bend to have a realistic rendering, because the rendering is really goofy 😂

[rich adder]

no one bends their chest like that lmao

[warm raptor]

I know 😂

maybe it's just the upper back and the neck that has to rotate ?!

[rich adder]

yes the upper back / shoulder area

[slender sinew]

upper back bends at slight amount, neck at slightly larger amount, head at even larger amount (just look up in real life and see how you bend)

[naive raven]

yeah it works now

[warm raptor]

ok 👍 I'll try like this

[rich adder]

I mean its just a bandaid fix you still need to go over the c# material, you had some pretty obvious syntax error along with some fundamentals lack about references

[naive raven]

i guess so

[warm raptor]

yeah ok I see it work way better moving only those bone !

[steep rose]

much better

[rich adder]

I dont mind because my character got that juicy rumpp

i have to fix my hand placement on weapon though lol IK is a pain to deal with sometimes

oops we're in code channel. Back to topic..

[sage abyss]

Damn, I forgot too

Thx

[warm raptor]

I haven't even tried in unity yet and you're already telling me that, how am I supposed to be motivated to do it 😰

[rich adder]

well no its easy to setup and all that, but making things look good. That isnt to do with Unity IK just me not being an animator/modeler

anyway lets keep the channel relevant to code, if you have IK questions best ask them in #🏃┃animation

[rotund hull]

what force would be needed to be added to an object to make the net force of gravity and the addiction force being added 0 in 2d

[warm raptor]

ok 👍

[rich adder]

would it not be ? Vector2 gravityForce = new Vector2(0, -Physics2D.gravity.y * objectMass); + additional force ig

[rotund hull]

i will try that

[rotund hull]

the object is flying up

i tried it with just 9.81 and the same thing happened

[slender sinew]

well if the forces cancel each other out it would be as if you are in zero gravity, which would mean you retain whatever velocity you have forever

[rotund hull]

i might be able to work around the problem

[woven kraken]

I need walking codes pls and running pls

[rich adder]

google them. This isn't like a "handout full code" server

[rocky canyon]

okay

[slender nymph]

is your goal to just make everyone else make your game for you? 🤔

[rocky canyon]

// Variables
speed = baseWalkSpeed
runMultiplier = 2.0

// Input check
if IsKeyPressed(RunKey)
    speed = baseWalkSpeed * runMultiplier
else
    speed = baseWalkSpeed

// Movement
MoveCharacter(direction * speed * deltaTime)

[raw token]

That'll be $10

[rich adder]

copies and paste
Its not working!

[rocky canyon]

nah, theres no way.. that isnt even c#

[slender nymph]

that's probably too complicated for them. they need something simpler like this:

private void Update()
{
  if(walk)
    Walk();
  if(run)
    Run();
}

[rocky canyon]

thats fix w/e that is

[woven kraken]

Oh ok

[rich adder]

Oh I'm supposed to paste it somewhere ?

[rocky canyon]

but anyway.. you never even told us details. like is it a Character Controller.. is it a rigidbody.. is it first person, is it third person? 2d.. or 3d..
these are things you know.. so use those details and find some tutorials related to exactly what u asked

but !learn first for ur own sanity

[rich adder]

good base to work on but yeah they aren't like parkour or anything

[rocky canyon]

if they're out of the box, production ready they bad..
if they're starter kits.. like a Barebones PC build kit.. to work off of.. then they are sufficient and probably pretty good start

[rich adder]

the third person one tbh is more handy cause it already setups the jump animations n stuff for you

[rocky canyon]

i can't remember if they've changed them to use the new input system or they're still polling w/ input class

[rocky canyon]

ohh ohh true true.. i forgot bout that detail

[rich adder]

nah ur thinking of Standard Assets maybe?

the Starter Assets always came with the new Input System

[rich adder]

yeah these always came with new input sytem

[rocky canyon]

standard assets are broken for me, have been a while..

Checked it cus i was curious, pretty understandable too idk what means two way value tho maybe because english isn't my main language

[rocky canyon]

i have an old archive of them on my system for the cool things like particles and whatnot

meaning you can both Read and Assign the value from outside the method
out is only read result from method within that specific class method

void UpdateValue(ref int x)
{
    x += 60;
}
int number = 9;
UpdateValue(ref number);
Debug.Log(number);  // Output: 69```
vs
```cs
void InitializeValue(out int x)
{
    x = 69;
}

int number;
InitializeValue(out number);
Debug.Log(number);  // Output: 69```

ahh, the more you know! 🌈 ⭐

void ModifyHealth(ref int health, int amount)
{ health += amount; }

int playerHealth = 100;
ModifyHealth(ref playerHealth, -20);```  a good example of **ref**
- output `playerHealth = 80`
no need to return the value *and* reassign it. with ref we can directly modify the og variable
**edit: dang, navarone beat me too it.. **
