@sour fulcrum yes, if you create an instance of you settings SO you can freely change its values as it will destroy when exiting play mode . . .

[snow warren]

[nimble apex]

you dont really need async for something like this right?

            Texture2D texture = new Texture2D(sourceImageInfo.imageWidth, sourceImageInfo.imageHeight, sourceImageInfo.textureFormat, false);
            texture.LoadImage(File.ReadAllBytes(filePath));
            texture.name = fileName;```

[nimble apex]

i would say 47 iterations

cuz i counted

[cosmic dagger]

@sour fulcrum just make sure you reference the instantiated settings SO so your UI will change the correct one . . .

[sour fulcrum]

ya im creating it via a property kind of like a singleton pattern

so any outside scripts will get the runtime one

public class ScriptableSetting<T> : ScriptableSetting
{
    protected ScriptableSetting<T> RuntimeSettings
    {
        get
        {
            if (runtimeSetting == null)
                CreateRuntimeCopy();
            return (runtimeSetting as ScriptableSetting<T>);
        }
    }

    [SerializeField] protected T _settingValue;
    public T Value
    {
        get => RuntimeSettings._settingValue;
        set => RuntimeSettings.SetValue(value);
    }

    protected void SetValue(T newValue)
    {
        T oldValue = RuntimeSettings._settingValue;
        RuntimeSettings._settingValue = newValue;
        OnValueChanged.Invoke((oldValue, newValue));
        OnChanged.Invoke();
    }


    public ExtendedEvent<(T oldValue, T newValue)> OnValueChanged = new ExtendedEvent<(T oldValue, T newValue)>();
}

public class ScriptableSetting : ScriptableObject
{
    public ExtendedEvent OnChanged = new ExtendedEvent();

    [SerializeField] protected ScriptableSetting runtimeSetting;

    protected void CreateRuntimeCopy()
    {
        runtimeSetting = Instantiate(this);
    }
}

abit of my super cursed code

oh neat it's kinda working

[cosmic dagger]

nice . . .

[sour fulcrum]

It’s jank but not too awful considering how self contained it is

(Thank you btw)

Unity is not modeling software so no. You can make things like that in Blender for example and import to Unity

[cosmic dagger]

you can achieve a render like that using HDRP . . .

[snow warren]

yes you can

but its better to do such stuff where its supported

i would suggest maya and blender

[strong wren]

how can i backup my project

do i just copy the "assets" folder

[eternal needle]

use version control, github

[strong wren]

github?

thats for storing the project isnt it?

[willow scroll]

Any git. GitHub Desktop may be suitable, for example

[strong wren]

isnt github a website

[eternal needle]

and what else do you consider a backup to be?

[willow scroll]

Yes. I am talking about GitHub Desktop

[strong wren]

yeah but its like saying to store it in a usb drive, yeah i know but what do i store

and where are the files?

[eternal needle]

any unity github guide will go exactly through the steps and what to actually commit

[strong wren]

kk

i found a brackeys tut on that

[languid spire]

do you not know which folder you selected when you created the project?
Anyway the file location is directly underneath the project name in the hub

[strong wren]

nah i always just keep everything in the default folder

[cyan token]

it is

[strong wren]

i just did that and i got some quick question
1: does it automatically update the github page or do i have to update it manually
2: and if no is there just a "update button" or do i have to tell it again which file to upload then overwrite the old file?

[willow scroll]

The GitHub page is updated when you click on "Fetch origin"

[strong wren]

oh ok

how often should i update it?

[willow scroll]

There is a number of non-fetched commits, which is non shown if is 0

[willow scroll]

When you're ready to publish your commit

[strong wren]

oh ok

thanks

that makes working on this project alot easier

[willow scroll]

Yes, since you can keep track of your commits and back up if something doesn't work

[solemn fractal]

Hey guys I need to access a variable inside my playerBullet Script that is inside my PlayerBullet Prefab. But the bullet is just spawned around 5..10sec inside the game, but I need already the value to appear in the screen since start, but not being able to do it as it was not spawned yet and I cant get the value, any ideas?

[eternal needle]

what do you need it for? this sounds like you have something setup backwards
also nothings stopping you from reading values from the prefab itself

[solemn fractal]

like show on the screen.. like player damage.. so when game starts the damage will already show on the screen of the bullet

how do I acess the value inside the prefab already even without being spawned?

[eternal needle]

the exact same way you access it when it is spawned. although needing to do this sounds very questionable still. Could you not just spawn the player in and enable it around 5-10 seconds rather than spawn it at that time? Would save you from having to reference the prefab then the spawned object if these numbers change

[solemn fractal]

I can but them in the screen it will be updated only after 5..10 sec and that is ugly..

[eternal needle]

i have no clue what that means. Nothing i suggested visually changes anything

[solemn fractal]

Game starts, you have in the screen a text saying. Player damage: 2

that number 2 I can get only when the bullet spawns that is the prob

[eternal needle]

Well as I said above, no you are not limited to this. You can get it from the prefab.
But again this seems very backwards. so I suggest you either spawn the object earlier or have this damage number exist elsewhere

[solemn fractal]

Ok, I will make it elsewhere. thank you 😄

[solemn fractal]

I can put that script not only on playerbullet prefab but also on my player, is that gonna be bad? player is always spawned on the scene..

[midnight meteor]

i have a public static gameobject array , why it doesnt show up on editor ? even with [SerializeField]

[languid spire]

because Unity does not serialize static objects

[midnight meteor]

oh i got you thanks

[eternal needle]

i have no clue what script you are talking about, so thats up to you to decide. if it isnt a hassle to get the value, and it makes sense to be on the player then sure

[solemn fractal]

already fixed here ty ty

[abstract copper]

Issue: The time (in minutes) on package labels decreases by 2 every second instead of by 1. However, when the minute is at a number ending with 8 or 3 example (38 and 33), it decreases by 1 to 37 or 32, and then continues decreasing by 2 until it reaches 8 or 3, respectively.

Script: https://pastebin.com/mX06pqsY

https://pastebin.com/feJ0PEAn

[static wasp]

i have 73k errors in 200 lines of code, this is the definition of pain

[eternal needle]

you should really add debugs and see whats happening specifically. also this doesnt make a whole lot of sense. the time in minutes decreases by 2? i only see you adding to it in update

[abstract copper]

tried debugging but idk how really any further, yea it decreases by 2 on the package label but ti should by 1. so 1 in game minute = 1 irl second

[languid spire]

I have to ask, why are you not using a TimeSpan?

[abstract copper]

I followed a tutorial for day and night cycle and he included the time manger in it so I used his

So I just built upon it

[eternal needle]

i see no debugs in your code. but also i have no clue what value you're talking about. Do you mean timeLeft since thats the only thing related getting set to the label text

[abstract copper]

Yes time left, It counts down

And thats what decrements by 2 instead of 1 every second

[eternal needle]

that seems like its just using the hours, which would imply its going down by 2 hours every second

[languid spire]

you will probably find solving one basic structural one with reduce that considerably. So double check your code structure very carefully

[static wasp]

i tried and now i have 162k errors 👍

[languid spire]

do you know what I mean by 'code structure'?

[static wasp]

now it's 0

i fixed it

[static wasp]

brackets and stuff like that?

[languid spire]

exactly

[eternal needle]

add debugs for, (or some way to see), elapsedMinutes and totalElapsedTimeInHours
Check if the minutes there are correct. If they are, then its some issue with your delivery time.
If they arent, then check the equation in line 7.
Also if you attach the debugger, you can just see all of these values and use breakpoints to run the game line by line

it should be pretty easy to work backwards here to see which point a value is incorrect, since its all just simple math

[abstract copper]

ok il debug those but keep in mind i DO NOT know simple math, i did not pay attention in school

[teal viper]

Good opportunity to learn it then

[languid spire]

can you use a calculator?

[abstract copper]

yes but like dlich said should probably do it myself

thank you bawsi btw

[eternal needle]

no one was saying to do it by hand, but its simple math in that u can plug it into a calculator immediately

compared to something like rotations, quaternion math, where a vast majority in here would not be able to do it even with a calculator

[abstract copper]

what should i compare the minutes to? like the minutes to the hours?

like if elapsedMinutes are same as minutes in elapsedHours

[languid spire]

you know if you switch to using TimeSpan you wouldn't need to be doing any of this

[eternal needle]

well id pray that your calculation of minutes / 60 is correct, i was saying to check if the minutes make sense logically. Like pause the game, look at the time in TimeManager, then check if you get the correct results in UpdateLabel.

[abstract copper]

alright

the package minutes are 2 behind then in the timemanger

lol

yoiu are going to have to really debug your code, you are mixing AddForce and setting velocity so it's impossible for us to know exactly what is going on there

[steep rose]

Are you jumping and dashing? If so that could be an issue

[sick storm]

no just dashing upwards

im going to go through all my code and test everything tmr

[thick dove]

I'm actually losing my mind. How is something as simple as "setactive" fucking me over

[languid spire]

at a guess because when a gameobject is inactive none of it's scripts will run?

[thick dove]

it's not the gameobject's script, so that's not the issue :(

[languid spire]

setactive is only valid on a game object

[thick dove]

yeah, but it's not on the gameobject that it wants to set active

[frosty hound]

You need to provide actual details for your issue

    private void Update()

        Debug.Log("Menu is " + menuIsUp);
        // Check if Olimar is within the Onion's collider
        if (Vector3.Distance(olimarTransform.position, destination.transform.position) < distance)
        {
            Debug.Log("Olimar is within distance");
            if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Space) && !menuIsUp)
            {
                menuIsUp = true;
                onionMenu.SetActive(true);
                logicManager.Pause();
                Debug.Log("Paused");

                inputCoroutine = StartCoroutine(CheckForInputCoroutine());
            }
        }

        if (menuIsUp && Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Space))
        {
            UpdatePikmin();
            menuIsUp = false;
            onionMenu.SetActive(false);
            logicManager.Unpause();
            StopCoroutine(inputCoroutine);
        }
    }

yeah the log comes up as if it's working properly

[steep rose]

have you checked if your onionMenu is actually on using your script?

the script looks fine to me

[thick dove]

yeah, I tried it in Start and it works fine there

[steep rose]

as long as your debugs are going

[frosty hound]

Well, you have an if statement back to back. When you turn menuIsUp = true , it will immediately run the next if statement because it's now true and you're pressing space.

[queen adder]

Unsure if this would be the correct channel, but I am using the Starter Asset Third Person controller, and for some reason sometimes if I bump into stuff or fall too hard the jump just stops working. My project is just to show off my level design skills but is a jumping puzzle, and I would probably lose points if my teacher has to restart, any way to fix this/ find out why its happening?

[frosty hound]

Well, maybe not, depends on what's happening in your pause.

Put a log in your second if statement and see if they both fire

[thick dove]

oh my god thank you

I can probably just make that an elseif statement inside the distance checking if

thank you so much, christ

[frosty hound]

I would flip the if statements. Do the distance check inside the input one.

Either way, organize it however makes sense to you.

[queen adder]

what is the trick to make properties visible in the editor again?

oh [field: SerializeField]

[wintry quarry]

Fields need to be serialized to show in the inspector. To be serialized they need to follow these rules:
https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/script-Serialization.html#SerializationRules

[thick dove]

That single issue was actually driving me nuts for so long, I was put off from making progress on my game. It's like a massive weight was lifted off me lol

[ionic zephyr]

how can I generate trees (and other things like bushes or entities like enemies) in this type of procedurally generated terrain

[finite dew]

you can use white noise to generate possible placement positions, and discard the ones that overlap with other structures or are out of map bounds

[ionic zephyr]

Okay, I´ll check it out then, thanks!

[marble hemlock]

any suggested resources for learning how to make dialogue systems?

to clarify, for someone who is just starting out and trying to get a grasp on it

[vocal marlin]

lmao

I just made one

It was from a tutorial from Brackeys video

his videos are really good

And even if your dialogue system isn't the same you can tailor it

to your project

[cosmic quail]

but if u want the player to have dialogue choices too then you gotta rework the entire thing

[vocal marlin]

I'm working on doing that now and it doesn't look like it

[rotund bronze]

            {
                _rb.velocity = new Vector2(_horizontalInput * _moveSpeed , _rb.velocity.y) ;   
            }
            else
            {
                _rb.velocity = new Vector3(0f, _rb.velocity.y);
            }```
any way to stop micro movement from this code? what I mean by micro movement is a very small change in x and z, even though I have set velocity to zero in x and z

[deft grail]

do you have a controller plugged in? could be giving the small input

[rotund bronze]

nah, I'm using keyboard currently

[cosmic dagger]

what type is _horizontalInput?

[rotund bronze]

float

[cosmic dagger]

you're comparing it to 0; try using `Approximately or check if it's less than a threshold value . . .

[rotund bronze]

ah ok thx

[lapis frigate]

can anyone explain to me why do I get an error when I do have a button called "Inventory"

[polar acorn]

What's the error say

[wintry quarry]

The first step is always to read the error

[lapis frigate]

Argument 1 cannot convert string to int

[wintry quarry]

Right, now look at the GetMouseButton function:
https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Input.GetMouseButton.html

public static bool GetMouseButton(int button);
what kind of parmeter is that expecting?

[languid spire]

inb4 he has a UI Button called Inventory

[polar acorn]

Correct. "Inventory" is not a number

[cosmic dagger]

yep, just waiting for the reveal . . . 🍿

[lapis frigate]

so I can I know the int value?

[wintry quarry]

int value of what?

[lapis frigate]

and blame him https://youtu.be/LaQp5u0_UYk?t=456

[wintry quarry]

Did you read the docs?

The button values are: 0 for the left button, 1 for the right button, 2 for the middle button.

[polar acorn]

Which number of mouse button do you want to press

[wintry quarry]

why would I blame him?

He's calling a totally different function

you should probably copy his code if you want to use the tutorial

[lapis frigate]

Omfg

I'm so stupid

[polar acorn]

"I did it exactly like the tutorial so why does theirs work and mine doesn't" counter:
Number of times it wasn't exactly like the tutorial: 177
Number of times it was exactly like the tutorial: 5
Number of times the code literally did not exist: 1
2022-07-19 to 2024-08-27

[lapis frigate]

ok Imma just fix that then co cry

litterly wrong function

[iron steeple]

is it bad if i changed version

[cosmic dagger]

you can use a newer version. that will migrate your project over to it . . .

[iron steeple]

does it break my script?

[languid spire]

no

[cosmic dagger]

nah, only if there are breaking changes . . .

[iron steeple]

so its safe if i migrate rn?

[languid spire]

it's a patch version change

[thorny basalt]

Yeah. I would personally make a backup just in case though

[iron steeple]

Well i alreadt migrate it :/

[rich adder]

you should be using Version Control regardless

[iron steeple]

so its still fine

[rich adder]

yes

but you should still learn about Version Control

[iron steeple]

what is that

[rich adder]

its a system that tracks your project, any changes gets documented, each time you want to backup the project you "commit" the changes , you can revert to any state at any time

its really something that will prevent future headaches if something goes wrong with project especially

[carmine narwhal]

any tips on what to use that is not github? because i cant load my projects to github since they are to big 😦

[rich adder]

did you use the proper gitignore, you generally don't need that much.
how big is the assets folder?

[carmine narwhal]

i dont know it is the right gitignore i just use the unity one. its well over 20gb 😛

and github says max 5gb

[rich adder]

the assets folder?
I think with that size you will have trouble any VC without paying boats load of money

[carmine narwhal]

ive stoped making stuff in it i will double check just cant remember the name atm

[rich adder]

if its the actual assets folder and mostly 3D assets that dont change, offset them to big storage like google drive n such while keeping VC for the rest of the project

[carmine narwhal]

sounds to complicated for me ;:(

oh it was 3.8 gb the assets folder.

[rich adder]

you should be good then

[carmine narwhal]

it says its to big 😦 maybe im doing something wrong ....

[rich adder]

what does?

[carmine narwhal]

the initial commit says to big with some random lfs comment that i cant remember from my brain atm

[rich adder]

well first i would check if your github was actually added properly to the first commit, then would enable LFS if each individual file is bigger than typical size per-file limit

[carmine narwhal]

i dont know how to enable lfs 😛 dont even know what that is .....

[rich adder]

simple google 😉
https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/working-with-files/managing-large-files/about-git-large-file-storage

[carmine narwhal]

that link does not say anything aboutn how to enable lfs it only explains what it is 😛

[rich adder]

did you click the breadcrumb uptop?

[carmine narwhal]

breadcrumb?

[rich adder]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breadcrumb_navigation

[carmine narwhal]

im way to stupid for this. thanks for the help though. that only led to the weird console thing where you need to enter shitloads of weird lines to get it to work´....

[polar acorn]

You mean git

that's how git works

[carmine narwhal]

***** Profanity words 😛

why make it so complicated...

[rich adder]

git gud

[carmine narwhal]

:_D will never be that 😄 im R3tarded 😄

i guess i will have to live without it 🙂 and hope my computer doesnt die 😄

[rich adder]

if you plan on creating a game, using git aint the hardest part you will be doing.. its quite easy. enter a few commands and you're done

there are also GUI clients that exists (GithubDesktop, Fork etc.)

[carmine narwhal]

what? i have tried with tutorials and it never works for me..

[ionic zephyr]

Any recommendations of resources that teach how to fill a procedurally generated map with trees, enemies, bushes and so on?

[rich adder]

break down the problem into smaller steps

[steep rose]

you should use github desktop with git

[rich adder]

wdym never works..it does work. Its not difficult at all

[steep rose]

its extremely easy to set up

[rich adder]

how do you plan on code if a few commands on console scare you

[carmine narwhal]

thats not the problem, problem is what the tutorial says should happend doesnt.

[steep rose]

explain

[rich adder]

like what?

[carmine narwhal]

cant remember exactly i kinda gave up on it 6months ago ish. but it was one of the lines that something should have happend it happend for my friend it worked for him. but when i did it it said the same thing but i still couldnt commit the big change

[steep rose]

you can either use a GUI client to use git or use console commands

[steep rose]

what? what big commit

so you got it working then if you can commit?

[carmine narwhal]

i think its better i try again and show you when the fault happends

[rich adder]

maybe make a thread

[carmine narwhal]

hard to explain something that happend over 6months ago 😄 now i cna hardly remembner how to use github or github desktop 😛

[steep rose]

you should definitely get version control up and running

[rich adder]

github desktop https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5IxUElilf2M
The only thing is sometimes LFS gets weird on github desktop, might need to be enabled via terminal

[carmine narwhal]

i will try later today thanks 😄

[steep rose]

i just followed a brackeys tutorial for my github desktop version control 😅

[lapis frigate]

I added this code into a canvas and it doesnt work

any help please?

[rich adder]

is the canvas gameobject disabled?

[lapis frigate]

no

[steep rose]

did you debug

[lapis frigate]

the inventory menu is disabled

I mean its started as diasbled

i cant enbale it ingame

[rich adder]

im talking about the gameobject this script is on

[carmine narwhal]

min 0:51 this does not happend for me i get this instead

[steep rose]

press locate

[rich adder]

remove

[steep rose]

and find the folder

[rich adder]

this is something old you previously had that was moved/deleted

[lapis frigate]

wdym disabled

[carmine narwhal]

oki so remove for now

[lapis frigate]

how can I disable a canvas

[rich adder]

make a thread.
also
remove any git / gitignore folder(make sure show hidden files and folders is on) in the project so you start fresh

[lapis frigate]

you mean the V sign below the inspector?

[steep rose]

scripts wont work if the scripts gameobject is disabled

[rich adder]

show the inspector where you put the script

[rich adder]

does this get disabled?

[carmine narwhal]

make a thread.

[lapis frigate]

no

[steep rose]

did you debug if the code was even running?

[rich adder]

put Debug.Log and see if it runs at all

[polar acorn]

Add this log outside the if:

Debug.Log($"{gameObject.name} update - Button? {Input.GetButton("Inventory")} - Menu? {menuActivated}");

See if the button value changes while you're holding whatever you assigned to "Inventory". You might want to enable collapse in your console

[lapis frigate]

aight

where do I see the button value?

oh I see

it does change

[polar acorn]

Does menuActivated change whenever you press your inventory button?

[lapis frigate]

no

its stays on false

so what do I do?

[polar acorn]

Can you show a screenshot of the console after you press the button once?

With collapse enabled, so all of the lines will show as one group

[polar acorn]

Enable collapse

[polar acorn]

Can you share the full !code of the script? The entire script?

I pasted it there how do I send it to you

[polar acorn]

send the link

[lapis frigate]

https://gdl.space/cavadapuqo.cs

[polar acorn]

Did you actually save the script like this? Because there's no such thing as menuActivateds so this shouldn't compile

[lapis frigate]

I did it as the normal way then I changed it to that to see if it will do anything

wait

you mean

[polar acorn]

There is no "normal way" for menuActivateds to be written. There's nothing with that name in the script

[lapis frigate]

waits its not the problem

[polar acorn]

As shown, this shouldn't compile

[lapis frigate]

I thought u meant the ==

cuz some poepne dont like that

u can ignore the s

its a my misstype the code is as it should be

[lapis frigate]

its not a compilation problem

[polar acorn]

Okay, did you make any other changes to the code as you were pasting it into the website

[lapis frigate]

nope

[polar acorn]

Okay, remove that log and put this one inside the if statements:

Debug.Log($"{gameObject.name}- Menu Activated: {menuActivated}. Inventory Menu State: {InventoryMenu.activeInHierarchy}");

[lapis frigate]

it doesnt show anything in the console

I think its might be a problem with the if statements

[polar acorn]

Can you show a screenshot of your full unity window with the console open, with this object selected, during playmode?

[lapis frigate]

allright

[lapis frigate]

sure but the console is empty

[polar acorn]

do it anyway

[lapis frigate]

ok

[lapis frigate]

why I am stupid

[polar acorn]

Okay, as a warning, you have errors disabled in your console. You don't seem to have any errors, but you'd be hiding them if you did

This is what I wanted to see, if anything came up while you were playing

[lapis frigate]

ok

[polar acorn]

because any error could prevent your code from completing

Add this after your last else if statement:

else {
  Debug.Log($"{gameObject.name} did not enter any condition. Button: {Input.GetButtonDown("Inventory")}, Menu {menuActivated}, Inventory Object: {InventoryMenu}");
}

And show this screen again after you attempt to press "Inventory"

[lapis frigate]

yes it does that

it says it doesnt get the button input

should I screen shot the inventory button in the input manger?

[polar acorn]

Yes

[polar acorn]

It seems to be reading as Input.GetButton but not Input.GetButtonDown? I'm going to try to check something.

[lapis frigate]

Hmm so it checks the wrong function?

[polar acorn]

I don't have Unity on this machine, can you send a screenshot of your "Jump" button in the input manager? It should be already set up by Unity

[lapis frigate]

omfg I fixed it

it was so stupid

[polar acorn]

Something in the input manager settings?

[lapis frigate]

the type was set to joystick

idk why it was the default

[polar acorn]

Yep, that'd do it I think

[lapis frigate]

anyway thank you for your time

what do you say to this

lol ?

[cosmic dagger]

rb is a Rigidbody component you assigned from the inspector. why are you getting the Rigidbody component again to change useGravity?

rb is already the Rigidbody component. just use that . . .

[maiden chasm]

true thats right for the gravity this is my simple plain control

[cosmic dagger]

using GetComponent in Update is bad and you can avoid that . . .

[maiden chasm]

i have make that script is it good ore wath i can do better

[cosmic dagger]

i just mentioned it. you'd do rb.useGravity instead because rb is the Rigidbody component . . .

[maiden chasm]

ok i make it better

i have use

[cosmic dagger]

you have movement += transform.forward * speed * Time.deltaTime; but you create Vector3 movement = Vector3.zero; in the previous line. there is no need to add. you can condense these two lines into one . . .

Vector3 movement = transform.forward * speed * Time.deltaTime;```

[maiden chasm]

yes you are right

[cosmic dagger]

when you rotate with transform.Rotate(+Wendigkeit * Time.deltaTime, 0 * Time.deltaTime, 0); you are multiplying deltaTime by 0. this is pointless, as it will always be 0 . . .

[maiden chasm]

thgis is also better Vector3 movement = transform.forward * speed * Time.deltaTime;

[ionic zephyr]

Does somebody know why my GameObjects are instantiating between my tiles? (I mean, not in the center of the tile)

https://gdl.space/duxivumawo.cs this is the code with which I paint the tiles and Instantiate objects

[pine hearth]

Hi Pingu, from a quick look there's a good deal going on in your code. My first recommendation to you would be to break down your code into the tiniest possible bit, to help isolate what's causing your issue. Probably the easiest would be to comment out stuff and/or make a separate script that spawns GameObjects onto tiles, but create your own tiles, to simplify that part of your code. That will help isolate if it's in how you're instantiating GameObjects, or if it has something to do with the perlin noise.

Again, this is just from a quick look, but I'd try it and see what it might show you!

[ionic zephyr]

Oh, my bad, this isnt the full code, these are two exctracts from two different scripts, one generates the terrain (PaintTiles) and the other one Instantiates the Objects

[pine hearth]

No worries! All the more reason why I would break this down into smaller, tinier bits to help process what's happening.

Another simplification step could be spawning just one unit, and see if you can get it to spawn in the center of a tile. Start with drilling down into the core of this code. Was this from a tutorial?

[rocky canyon]

if they're spawning between tiles and not centered on tiles.. then it must be the way u calculate the x and y coords

[ionic zephyr]

It is the same on both scripts since I pass the same Roompositions

[muted wadi]

i have a question about negative numbers related to coding. I'm currently using a value to determine the player's velocity as a single number, the problem is that the value only detects the player's velocity in their forward direction. I would like to detect their velocity omnidirectionally to have an accurate velocity value for when they collide with objects. How could I go about doing that?

    {
        generalVelocity = Vector3.Dot(body.transform.forward, body.velocity);
    }

[rocky canyon]

are they being instantiated inside a parent gameobject?

vs the other one not?

[ionic zephyr]

Not really

[ionic zephyr]

Oh it surely is this

you are totally right, let me check

[rocky canyon]

use velocity.magnitude

[muted wadi]

oh my lord i forgot that was a thing

but doesn't that only return a value between 0 and 1?

[ionic zephyr]

they still are instantiated wrongly

[rocky canyon]

it returns the length of a vector..

it ignores the direction

[muted wadi]

oh wait 0-1 is .normalised

[muted wadi]

big up

[eternal needle]

1 is normalized. 0 would mean you have zero vector

[rocky canyon]

sorry, im not good at tiles.. i just figured id throw out my best guess

[ionic zephyr]

Don´t worry and thank you anyway!

[rocky canyon]

good luck 🍀

[rocky canyon]

isnt it b/c u specify the transform.forward?

wouldnt generalVelocity just be rb.velocity?

[muted wadi]

velocity returns 3 numbers

the forward, right and up velocity of the rigidbody

[rocky canyon]

ya, 3 floats.. a singular vector3

(that would be all ur velocities)

whats the code for?

[muted wadi]

detecting the overall speed of collisions in a direction

the problem was that getting .velocity itself gave me negative numbers for when the player would collide with something in reverse

[rocky canyon]

can't u just use absolute value?

to always have a positive number

[muted wadi]

what's that?

[rocky canyon]

absolute value of 10 is 10.. absolute value of -10 is 10

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Mathf.Abs.html

[muted wadi]

is this a property?

[rocky canyon]

thats a Mathf function

[muted wadi]

oh its mathf.abs

im gonna be completely honest i had no clue how this function worked up until now

[rocky canyon]

lol.. it gets the distance from the number to 0

soo negative numbers end up positive

positive numbers stay posiitive

[muted wadi]

oh man thats really useful actually

but yeah its pretty important because I want players to be able to collide with other objects in the scene at high speeds and deal damage based on their own velocity

is there a way to lock float values in the editor to a decimal point like with the .ToString("F1") method?

[static wasp]

How do i make an array accept negative values like it would in python? (nvm, i figured it out)

[rocky canyon]

you'd need to write an editor script / w an OnValidate method to round it everytime u made a change

[eternal needle]

What do you mean, arrays arent limited to storing positive numbers. If you're trying to access it via negative index, you use ^

[rocky canyon]

arrays can always use negative numbers

now.. if u mean negative array index's no.. lol

[static wasp]

yes, this, but I figured it out

[rocky canyon]

ahh okay

[eternal needle]

Yes you can, as I wrote above. arr[^1]

[rocky canyon]

https://discussions.unity.com/t/negative-array-indexes/498954

i was reading this.. edit: dang that post is 9 yrs old

absolute value.. is that wat the ^ is

[short hazel]

Means "from end"

[rocky canyon]

ooooh..

didn't know that lol

[short hazel]

You can do substrings and collection slices with them, in modern .NET
One of these is an index, a pair of them a range

string s = "hello";
s[1..3] // "el" (1 to 3)
s[..^2] // "hel" (0 to 2-from-end)

[rocky canyon]

TIL

[short hazel]

They're cool, and of course you can use variables in these, you're not limited to number literals or constants

[rocky canyon]

whoa..

just found StringView

[steep rose]

i think i understand now

[rocky canyon]

aye, okay i get it now

interesting

[short hazel]

Ah yep you have the analyzer telling you that you can simplify the regular substring into the "slice" substring
They both compile to the same code, so they're equally performant

[mint remnant]

not a huge fan of the new string stuff, starts to look a bit convoluted. perl is a perfect example of it going too cryptic

[rocky canyon]

lol, just noticed that

im all about learning some new syntax

may never use it.. but its cool to know

[zenith cypress]

After using rust, I much prefer the new range syntax personally

[short hazel]

There's always worse, you haven't yet stumbled on the latest pattern matching (with is) implementations
You know you're in the deep end when you start seeing stuff like [ 2, _, 3, .. ] and [..var r]

[zenith cypress]

while we are on interesting string stuff, I was curious if you could change a string in-place, and you technically can. It could break, but that's okay

var test = "Number 1!";
unsafe {
    fixed (char* ptr = test) {
        ptr[test.Length - 2] = '2';
    }
}
// Number 2!
Debug.Log(test);

[static wasp]

yo, what do i do?

[polar acorn]

My guess: You have variables with the same name as the old obsolete MonoBehavior methods, like having a public Collider collider or public Rigidbody rigidbody. You should click no, then probably go rename those so Unity stops complaining

[static wasp]

this is the code, i added, are there any variable names like that?

            public RaycastHit hit;
            Vector3 bottom_pos = player3.transform.position + Vector3.down * player3.collider.height / 2;
            if (Physics.Raycast(bottom_pos, Vector3.down, out hit, 0.1f))
            {
                if (hit.collider.CompareTag("Ground"))
                {
                    is_jumping = false;
                }
            }

[static wasp]

it might be the first line but i'm not sure

[short hazel]

player3.collider is the one triggering it

[static wasp]

what should i change

[short hazel]

Whatever player3 is, go to its script and rename the collider field to something else

Pay attention to the warnings (underlined green-ish / yellow) that say that your variable is "hiding an inherited member"

[static wasp]

but i'm trying to get the height of the collider of player3

[short hazel]

So it's not one of your own variables?

[static wasp]

yes

[short hazel]

What's the type of that player3? GameObject?

[static wasp]

yes

[short hazel]

Okay so yep Unity complaining is purely normal here. Nowadays you need to use GetComponent<T>() to get a component attached to a GameObject

So get the collider using that, and you'll be able to get its height just fine

Or even better, change the type of player3 from GameObject to Collider so you can access it directly. You'll still be able to use .transform on it!

[static wasp]

so like this?

player3.GetComponent<Collider>().height

ok thanks

[amber spruce]

hey so i have this weird bug in my game where my enemies which normally should just go towards the player the entire time but if i punch them a couple times they just go in the direction i punched them

public class EnemyMovement : MonoBehaviour
{
    Transform player;
    public float moveSpeed;

    void Start()
    {
        player = FindAnyObjectByType<PlayerMovement>().transform; // Find the player object
    }


    void Update()
    {
        transform.position = Vector2.MoveTowards(transform.position, player.transform.position, moveSpeed * Time.deltaTime); // Constantly move the enemy towards the player
    }
}

thats my enemy movement script anyone know why this is happening

is there some rigidbody or collider setting i need to change

[sleek gazelle]

Does the player move?

[amber spruce]

yeah

[sleek gazelle]

If player is already a gameobject.transform

Why use player.transform.position

And not just player.position

[amber spruce]

not sure the tutorial i watched did that i kinda assumed it did smth different

[sleek gazelle]

Can you try by removing the first .position? The one when setting the value of player

[amber spruce]

nope didnt fix it

[sleek gazelle]

PlayerMovement is a script? (Ig yes) Is it only attached to one game object?

[amber spruce]

yep

[sleek gazelle]

public class EnemyMovement : MonoBehaviour
{
    GameObject player;
    public float moveSpeed;

    void Start()
    {
        player = FindAnyObjectByType<PlayerMovement>(); // Find the player object
    }


    void Update()
    {
        transform.position = Vector2.MoveTowards(transform.position, player.transform.position, moveSpeed * Time.deltaTime); // Constantly move the enemy towards the player
    }
}

Try this maybe? And make sure moveSpeed is never negative (which would make your enemy go away from the player)

[marble hemlock]

trying to apply it to my script and it is absolutely beating my ass

im sort of at the halfway point, where he's linked up the continue button to cycling through dialogue, but ive been trying to get it so it shuts down the movement and camera script i have on my player, and its showing that both of them are getting shut down, but then my player can still move

the idea is that when they enter the prompt to interact with the player, it'll stop them from turning away or walking away while still being in the dialogue. when it hits the last dialogue, it'll just release them again

i got it to work for my other menus but suddenly this one wants to be stubborn

naps are necessary

[amber spruce]

still doesnt work it seems to be randomly when i like spam punch them they glitch out and start just slowly going in the direction they where hit but it looks like they are trying to go to me at the same time so they like jump back and forth its really weird

[sleek gazelle]

Do they have other scripts attached?

[amber spruce]

the enemys have a sprite renderer a capsule collider 2d a rigidbody 2d a health script and the enemy movement script

[marble hemlock]

oh and then it'll say "hey this thing doesnt have a reference"
wdym it doesnt have a reference
you are very clearly deactivating the reference

[sleek gazelle]

So what makes them go away when you punch them?

[amber spruce]

well its like moving into them my characters fist has a collider that knocks them back

[sleek gazelle]

Ok

So if moveSpeed isn't negative (you could Debug.Log(moveSpeed); to check), idk

[amber spruce]

yeah movespeed doesnt change

[sleek gazelle]

So idk, sorry

[amber spruce]

all good

[ivory bobcat]

Are you using physics? Check the velocity of said enemies, if you are.

[amber spruce]

so that does seem to be the problem i think but im not sure how to correct it

as i noticed that a enemy that was moving away from me had a x velocity of 5

[ivory bobcat]

Maybe instead of setting the position (via move towards Transform), set the direction of velocitycs [SerializeField] private Rigidbody rb; private void FixedUpdate() { rb.velocity = (player.transform.position - transform.position).normalized * (moveSpeed * Time.deltaTime); }

If you've got some knock back feature, you'd probably want to disable movement for some duration while still being knocked back

[dense tangle]

pls help
I'm trying to find the problem for 1 day and i couldn't
if someone can see where's the mistake pls tell me
this is the code

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

public class SkeletonBattleState : Enemystate
{


    private Transform player;
    private Enemyskeleton enemy;
    protected int moveDir;
    public SkeletonBattleState_(Enemy enemyBase, EnemyStateMachine _stateMachine, string _animBoolName, Enemy_skeleton enemy) : base(_enemyBase, _stateMachine, _animBoolName)
    {
        this.enemy = enemy;
    }

    public override void Enter()
    {
        base.Enter();

        player = GameObject.Find("Player").transform;
    }

    public override void Update()
    {
        base.Update();
        if (player.position.x > enemy.transform.position.x)
        {
            moveDir = 1;
        }
        else if(player.position.x < enemy.transform.position.x)
        { 
            moveDir = -1;
        }

        enemy.SetVelocity(enemy.moveSpeed * moveDir, rb.velocity.y);
    }

    public override void Exit()
    {
        base.Exit();
    }

}

player = GameObject.Find("Player").transform;
this part basically can't find the player, but in the scene there are the player named exacly how it's written
I see some videos and search to understand how the gameobject.find works but it seems alright for me(I know it isn't but i can't tell what's wrong 😦 )

[deft grail]

have you verified the code even runs?

with a Debug.Log

[ivory bobcat]

Error says you've got an nre (null reference exception) on line 28 of skeleton battle states

[dense tangle]

yes

[steep rose]

you couldnt have since you have an error

[dense tangle]

nonono

wait

[steep rose]

read what i said in #💻┃unity-talk

to answer a question of yours

[ivory bobcat]

Looks like a runtime error (196 of them)

[dense tangle]

when i tested to see if the player is returning the gameobject or as null it says null

[dense tangle]

its in update

[steep rose]

did you not assign a value in the inspector?

[ivory bobcat]

What line is 28?

[dense tangle]

if (player.position.x > enemy.transform.position.x)

[dense tangle]

no

[ivory bobcat]

One of them is null

[dense tangle]

i'm doing this code following a course

[dense tangle]

its player

but i can't do the player(transform) recognize the player(gameobject)

[ivory bobcat]

You'll need to assign player a reference before using the variable

[dense tangle]

non english speaker my bad if i say something wrong or confusing

[dense tangle]

if i'm not mistaken its this right?
private Transform player;

[ivory bobcat]

That's just declaring the variable

[dense tangle]

🗿

[steep rose]

have you assigned said variable?

[ivory bobcat]

You'll either need to assign it through the inspector (via with a serialized field attribute for private members or as a public member) or Find - preferably the first.

[dense tangle]

ok

[steep rose]

so thats not assigned then?

[dense tangle]

apparently not

[steep rose]

then assign it and you should be okay

[teal viper]

What you're doing is basically saying: there's gonna be a table in this room and never actually putting the table there. So when you want to use the table, the space-time continuum breaks.

[dense tangle]

omg

[steep rose]

interesting table analogy

[dense tangle]

ok

I make it public and assign the gameobject player

but the error still happening

🥸

[steep rose]

same error or different error?

[ivory bobcat]

Did you reference the player in the scene?

[steep rose]

also you do not need to make it public to assign something via inspector

[amber spruce]

the knockback is just from the fist collider pushing it back

[amber spruce]

i will try this in a little

[dense tangle]

same

[dense tangle]

yes

[ivory bobcat]

Did you save the script?

[dense tangle]

yes

[ivory bobcat]

Can you show us the updated error?

[dense tangle]

ok

🗿

[steep rose]

hmmmmmm

    public SkeletonBattleState_(Enemy enemyBase, EnemyStateMachine _stateMachine, string _animBoolName, Enemy_skeleton enemy) : base(_enemyBase, _stateMachine, _animBoolName)
    {
        this.enemy = enemy;
    }

is this.enemy = enemy; supposed to be in a start method?

try putting it in a start method

[dense tangle]

start method?

[dense tangle]

as far as I know yes

ok

[steep rose]

its not in any

[static wasp]

the void Start()

[steep rose]

thats probably why

[dense tangle]

wait

void start you say?

[steep rose]

it doesnt know what enemy is

private void start()
{
    this.enemy = enemy;
}

[dense tangle]

I am not crazy, i assign the player gameobject in the public variable returned to the code and it disapeared

im not crazy

i swear

[steep rose]

you dont assign it while in game

[ivory bobcat]

I'm assuming everything works now

[steep rose]

it will revert when you do

[dense tangle]

yes i dont

[ivory bobcat]

Had probably forgotten to save

[steep rose]

CTRL + S game not on point

[dense tangle]

just give a warning but nothing happen

[steep rose]

no error when you put it in a start method?

that was your problem then

[dense tangle]

the player arent assigned

[ivory bobcat]

This doesn't do anything btw

[dense tangle]

ok

i save the player assignment code and it dont appear

[steep rose]

yes i know its not capitilized

[static wasp]

is there a way to make OnCollisionEnter work for gameobjects that don't have the script attached to them?

[ivory bobcat]

His original method takes an enemy parameter and assigns it to his enemy (explicit this). The start method doesn't receive an enemy thus just assigns it to itself (no work done)

[steep rose]

then there is something wrong with his SkeletonBattleState_ script

[ivory bobcat]

I'm assuming it's called elsewhere (likely a constructor method) and a part of his tutorial.

Which makes little sense as the Unity messages imply that it's a mono behavior (which has no constructor)

[steep rose]

he should go back in his tutorial where he wrote this script and should check then if enemy is actually found

[dense tangle]

guys i think i resolve it

i forget to tell that im using hierarchy

so i put it in the main code

and it appear

sorry

💀

but now other error that wasnt there appeared

with the enemy variable

😩

enemy.SetVelocity(enemy.moveSpeed * moveDir, rb.velocity.y);

this part

the same error

[steep rose]

remove the start method (if you still have it) and go back to your original

[dense tangle]

i removed already

same error

💀

[steep rose]

a new error or the exact same error as last time?

[dense tangle]

same

[ivory bobcat]

Figure out what's null and make it not null

[languid snow]

How do I make a bullet ignore collision with the object that created it? I know i have to use "Physics.IgnoreCollision(the collider from the thing that instantiates the bullet, GetComponent<Collider>());" How do i access the collider from the thing that instantiates the bullet

[ivory bobcat]

You tell the bullet who that thing is

[languid snow]

how

its an enemy so theres many of them

and i need it to hit other enemies, just not itself

[ivory bobcat]

For instance...cs var bullet = Instantiate(bulletPrefab); bullet.owner = this;

[languid snow]

oh its bullet.owner?

[ivory bobcat]

Well, you'd use your own names and whatnot but the important concept would be caching the instance and informing the instance who the shooter is.

[dense tangle]

I FIXED IT

[ivory bobcat]

Or have the shooter setup the ignore collision

[dense tangle]

THANKS @ivory bobcat @steep rose

[steep rose]

🤔

what did you do to fix it?

[dense tangle]

i will have to see the video again

[ivory bobcat]

var bullet = Instantiate(...);
Physics.IgnoreCollision(collider, bullet, true);```

[dense tangle]

what i did was to declare from where the rb.velocity.y was comming from

basically

i have to return the way it was before this conversation even starts

thats why i will see the video again

but i dont think this causes any trouble the way it are now

just make the code a bit messy if the people seeing are a complete perfectionist

but thanks for the help

[languid snow]

does doing "var bullet = Instantiate(...); actually instantiate the object? (ive never used var before)

[dense tangle]

i couldnt fix the first part without your help

🤝

[ivory bobcat]

Instantiate returns the instance that is created.
https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Object.Instantiate.html

[ivory bobcat]

Keyword var btw
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/language-reference/statements/declarations#implicitly-typed-local-variables

[languid snow]

i see, thank you

for the enemies own collider i just do GetComponent<Collider>() no?

[ivory bobcat]

That or have a private serialized field and assign it through the inspector.

[languid snow]

ill try the second one, its telling me it cant find the enemies collider (which is kinda weird imo)

cos it does have a collider

[ivory bobcat]

Implies that you've got a field called collider and that the bullet prefab is a collider referencecs [SerializeField] private Collider collider;//Assigned from the inspector [SerializeField] private Collider bullet Prefab;//Assigned from the inspectorwhere the instantiated instance would be a reference to the object as it's Collider component.

[languid snow]

wait its a box collider 2d, does that interfere with something?

[ivory bobcat]

Use physics 2d for 2d stuff

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Physics2D.IgnoreCollision.html
You'd also use the 2d variants for the fields and whatnot.

[languid snow]

alr its fixed! enemy doesnt hit itself :D

ty for all the info

[lethal meadow]

whenever I'm trying to see if something is within a certain distance of something else I just use a raycast with a certain length

is there a better way of doing it

Vector3 targetPos = obj2.transform.position - obj1.transform.position;
if (Physics.RayCast(obj1.transform.position, targetPos, out hit, 10))
{
debug.log("in range")
}

just an example

[deft grail]

you can use a Physics.Overlap of some sort

[lethal meadow]

idk what that is never used it

[deft grail]

look at the docs, its pretty easy to use

[lethal meadow]

I see

what about seeing if a something is in eyeline

like i have flashbangs that check if there's a direct path to the player

and turrets that aim and shoot if they're in eyeline

[lethal meadow]

is a raycast not just a better version of that

[meager gust]

with a raycast you'd have to give it a direction & distance

linecast automatically computes the direction & distance

but yes, you could achieve the same result with a raycast

[lethal meadow]

I mean that's literally just ,15 at the end of it

[sour fulcrum]

This might be a silly question but having some difficulty identifying generics (fairly new to integrating generics into non generic scenarios)

I have a ScriptableSetting class which inherits from ScriptableObject and then a ScriptableSetting<T> class that inherits from ScriptableSetting. I'm doing some editor window stuff where i wanna show a list of all the stuff inside them and im fine doing that in a generic function but i don't know how to find and cast every ScriptableSetting<T> to start off this whole thing if that makes sense

Like usually i'd type check and cast but i afaik i can't type check to see if it's the generic version

i think im just doing this allwrong

im guessing i need some little box that helps me ungeneric-ify the info kinda how serializedproperties and unityevents do

[static wasp]

chat is dead

[cosmic dagger]

If you just want to check distance, you can use what you already have. This will give you the distance ```cs
float distance = (obj2.transform.position - obj1.transform.position).magnitude;
if (distance < 10) { }

It's the same as using the ```cs
Vector3.Distance(obj1.transform.position, obj2.transform.position);``` method, and you compare the returned value against 10. This doesn't involve raycasting, the physics engine, or needing to have colliders . . .

[lethal meadow]

how does a vector3 to float work

[timber tide]

vector3 = 3 floats

[lethal meadow]

so if you did debug.log(floatvector3)

what would it look like

[cosmic dagger]

A Vector3 consists of 3 float values. That is the type of the position property of a Transform . . .

No one said floatvector3. That is not a type . . .

Vector3.Distance is a Unity method that returns a float . . .

[eternal needle]

it would look exactly like a compile error

[cosmic dagger]

It's the same as doing . . . (obj2.transform.position - obj1.transform.position).magnitude;

[mint remnant]

original author of hte method is a guy named Pythagarus

[steep rose]

good one

[cosmic dagger]

Don't say his name three times . . .

[grizzled acorn]

Is SpriteRender.bounds extremely inaccurate or am I doing something wrong?

        var newPos = new Vector2(Nozzle.position.x + movement * speed.x, Nozzle.position.y);
        print(GantryRenderer.bounds.size.x/2);
        if (newPos.x < Nozzle.position.x && newPos.x < GantryRenderer.bounds.min.x) return;
        if (newPos.x > Nozzle.position.x && newPos.x > GantryRenderer.bounds.max.x) return;
        Nozzle.position = newPos;

The Highlighted Object should not exceed the others boundaries

[quick fractal]

Is there any way to get the "local" position of a GameObject? I took a look at transform.localPosition but that looks like it's relative to the main parent which still uses world position.

each time I move a different transform to the gameObject + -1 on the z axis it moves to a different side, I really need it to always move it to the same position relative to the gameObject

[amber spruce]

this seems to work i am gonna test some more but i dont seem to be having the same issue

only thing is speed has to be changed a lot but thats a simple fix

also i asked a ai to try and figure out what movespeed should be so it is the same speed as before and its saying that its a lot slower because im multipling by time.deltatime twice is this true?

or is my ai bugging

[timber tide]

localposition should give you the local position of current parent of that object

if you want a local position relative to a greater parent, I usually do something like taking the world position and sticking it into this method:
https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Transform.InverseTransformPoint.html

[urban wasp]

I made the enemy patrol but the patrol process is very fast how do i slow it down?

[quick fractal]

I want local position relative to the gameobject, not a parent or child

Should've specificed 😅

[timber tide]

check that method then

alternatively, cache the starting position of each and accumlate units

[lean anvil]

I just got an insane amount of errors after following through a course and I'm not sure on how to fix all of these errors. If anyone could help it would be appreciated.

[timber tide]

you'd probably want to give us an idea what the code looks like

[urban wasp]

how do i share?

[timber tide]

well, your first error there is a null reference error, so something isn't set in the inspector or isn't instantiated in code so figure out where that's happening

[timber tide]

honestly the translate seems fine to me, and the speed isn't anything bizarre?

[quick fractal]

This seems interesting.. Might be what I need

[urban wasp]

it looks fine but it is not giving right result

[urban wasp]

yes , that is the thing i want to fix

[timber tide]

I mean your value of speed there. Is it set to 1 for the sake of testing here?

[urban wasp]

yes

even if i set the value 1 or 0 it speed is same

[timber tide]

So, I've not done a 2D platformer for a while, but I wouldn't actually rotate but instead inverse the scaling

for when I would do the flip() stuff

So, I'm not too sure if the behaviour of rotating on the y here by 180 is correct

[quick fractal]

 Vector3 creatureRelative = closestCreature.transform.InverseTransformPoint(closestCreature.transform.position);
 gameObject.transform.position = creatureRelative + teleportOffset;```
ignoring that this isn't formatted correctly, would this be the right setup for InverseTransformPoint? From what I've read on the documentation you provided it seems good

teleportOffset is just Vector3(0, 0, -1);

[timber tide]

the dot operation is called on the object you want to use as the relative object which you feed a world position to and get back a return that's now in local space relative to that transform

there's also a matrix4x4 method that does similar if I recall

[quick fractal]

I'm assuming I have everything around the wrong way then because I'm just teleported to 0 0 0

Well, 0, 0, -1

[timber tide]

in your code you're using the method on the same transform so yes you're going to get a vector 0 position

a better idea of what this method returns is say you want the local value if you were to child an object to another

[quick fractal]

Oh I think I get what you mean now, should I be using the gameobject I'm teleporting's transform instead?

If not I do not get what you mean now

If it's local position relative to the position I enter then it makes sense to use the gameobject I'm teleporting, sorry if you've already said that.

[timber tide]

im not entirely sure of the use case here, but I'd experiment between those objects

I usually use this method for when I want local coordinates without having to child that object

because childing objects also force rotational local values onto that child

while sometimes I just prefer having those local positions ;p

[lean anvil]

the cutting recipe so array has all the kitchenobjectso in the inspector so im not sure where the problem might be

[timber tide]

oh, so does it flicker at 0 too, thus not translating at all? I can only guess maybe the rotation is being applied to a pivot that's centered to this level.

[urban wasp]

i think so

[timber tide]

but I looked it up and 180 rotation on the y is fine, and so does flipping the scaling on the x

[timber tide]

well, your code shows two possibilities it can be on line 119, I suggest using debug.log and checking each one of those variables for if one print null

[sour fulcrum]

@cosmic dagger Thanks for the help yesterday, Got the thing I was working on mostly-ish working. Architecture wise it's abit overengineered but happy I mostly figured out what I was trying to do

the serialization in the window is rough because its accessing those values in a way where actual game mechanics and/or a fully fledged options menu could access them at runtime so abit harder to use unity's built in stuff to handle it

[lean anvil]

i see that there are no cuttingrecipeso here

i checked in the inspector again

[timber tide]

Oh, yeah the data type looks wrong. Show the SO script

you should be extending from ScriptableObject if you arent

[timber tide]

havent seen createassetmenu invoked like that but otherwise looks fine

maybe try CreateAssetMenu(menuName = "CuttingRecipes")

then create it from the asset menu

[lean anvil]

where should i paste this code down?

[timber tide]

look at your screenshot and toss what's there inside of the parentheses

[lean anvil]

oh alright

oh there was a problem here also

alright i fixed the vegetables error

now im having errors on cooking the meat

[charred spoke]

Thats what this method does…. It just logs an error

[lean anvil]

oh wait hold on

[charred spoke]

Did you mean to just test it with debug.log ?

[lean anvil]

i was using debug.log for the other error i had

now i was checking if the game ran fine but it showed an error on the stove counter

[misty remnant]

hi can someone tell how i can make and object 1.5f away on the z axis from a target object and basically do this?

[timber tide]

easy solution: child it

[devout flower]

Or math

[misty remnant]

i don wanna child it i want them to be separate

[misty remnant]

how?

[ivory bobcat]

Could probably use a parent constraint component if you want the parent effect without parenting

[misty remnant]

oh also i want the object to rotate around the target which is working

this is what i am doing

[ivory bobcat]

Assuming you're going to be rotating the target as well
https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/class-ParentConstraint.html

[misty remnant]

can i add this parent constraint through code to an object bc i am trying to rotate the foot as you can see in the photo it works but it is crooked when the character is rotated any degree other than 0

[ivory bobcat]

Maybe just have it inactive and activate it whenever you're needing it.

[misty remnant]

tbh i cant so i will have to find away to do this

[lean anvil]

Im getting an CS0229 error because there's some kind of conflict with two members named input in my project. Can anyone help me figure out why this is happening?

[abstract copper]

    private void HandleMovement()
    {
        float moveX = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal");
        float moveZ = Input.GetAxis("Vertical");

        Vector3 move = transform.right * moveX + transform.forward * moveZ;
        Vector3 velocity = move.normalized * movementSpeed;
        velocity.y = playerRigidbody.velocity.y;

        playerRigidbody.velocity = velocity;
    }

Why does my player still keep moving for a split second after I release the move keys? I used the same script from my last project and that one did not have this issue.

[keen dew]

use GetAxisRaw if you want it to stop instantly

[abstract copper]

Okay, any idea why my other project kind of smoothed it out when stopping? This one just kinda snap stops it

Its all the same code

[ivory bobcat]

Likely friction

[abstract copper]

I also used same material to remove friction

[ivory bobcat]

I'm assuming the scenes are different

[abstract copper]

Yea they are not all the objects had no friction

[ivory bobcat]

Are the scripts the same?

[abstract copper]

Yea

Unless fps makes a difference?

[ivory bobcat]

If the scripts are the same then it's likely something from the environment causing the character to either decelerate or accelerate faster

[abstract copper]

In one project I have more fps even tho it has more stuff then the other one so idk tbh

Thanks anyway

[ivory bobcat]

Have a blank scene in both with the bare minimum and see if the two projects run the same. Then slowly incorporate stuff till they differ.

[gleaming forge]

Hi, Im new here. I started learning Unity last week to help my friends son with their schoolwork.
I'm having a problem when I push my Unity project to Github using the Github .gitignore. When I clone the project back down to a new folder and open it in Unity, heirarchy is reset like a new project. All the gameobjects are there in the project pane and it builds and runs fine.
Any idea whats going on?

[slender nymph]

you need to actually open the scene

also not a code question

[gleaming forge]

sorry, where should I post this? new

[slender nymph]

well typically you would post it in #💻┃unity-talk but i've already answered your question so you don't need to repost it there

[polar kraken]

Hey all,
I have an issue and I couldn't find a solution yet.
That rod animation and the line physics are not synced. Line logic is in FixedUpdate and Rendering that line is in LateUpdate.
Also first particle of the line is always same as tip of the rod position and it is in FixedUpdate.
I've tested to put it in the Update or moving rendering to Update or FixedUpdate but still same issue.
Any idea on that ?

[eternal needle]

fixed update is 50 times per second, update/lateupdate is however many fps you have. these 2 will basically never be in sync.
moving the rod in fixedupdate should be fine but that does depend how you're actually moving it

[polar kraken]

By animation. I've changed the animation Update Mode to Animate Physics for testing but it was the same

[gleaming forge]

Hi again. I'm trying to create a place to store global game state. I'm thinking of storing this in a script called GameState.cs and following the advice from here with public static variables https://discussions.unity.com/t/c-how-to-access-a-script-not-attached-to-a-gameobject/648267/2

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using TMPro;
using Unity.VisualScripting;
using Unity.VisualScripting.FullSerializer;
using UnityEngine;

public class GameState : MonoBehaviour
{
    // Start is called before the first frame update
    public static Dictionary<string, object> globalState = new Dictionary<string, object>();
    public static int numberOfPlayers = 2;

    private void Start()
    {
        globalState.Add("status", "menu");
        globalState.Add("playerCount", 1);       
    }
}

Then accessing the script from another script in the same scene like this;

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.UIElements;
using UnityEngine.SceneManagement;

public class StartMenuLogic : MonoBehaviour
{
   [SerializeField] UIDocument mainMenuDocument;
   private Button settingsButton;

   private void Awake()
   {
     // define the form elements
     VisualElement root = mainMenuDocument.rootVisualElement;
     settingsButton = root.Q<Button>("settingsButton");
     settingsButton.clickable.clicked += openSettings;
   }

   private void openSettings()
   {
     print(GameState.name);
   }
}

But I get "an object reference is required for the non-static field" on GameState.name.
Does this mean GameState is non-static or GameState.name is non-static or something else?

[languid spire]

the class GameState is non static and the variable name is also non static

[gleaming forge]

If feels to me like GameState is not being imported. Am I missing something? That article is from 2016
Assets\Scripts\StartMenuLogic.cs(56,15): error CS0120: An object reference is required for the non-static field, method, or property 'Object.name'

Is there an updated guide on accessing scripts from another script?

[languid spire]

Either you need to make GameState static (and drop the monobehaviour) or use the singleton pattern

[gleaming forge]

Like

public static class GameState

[languid spire]

yes, then you need to change the Start method as well because that wont execute automatically

[mental aspen]

Hey, I cant understand timeline workflow. When I hit play nothing logs at all, but when I pause playmode and go frame by frame manually then I have logs, but instead of 5 times, its 8?
I have no idea what is going on here

[gleaming forge]

So;

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using TMPro;
using Unity.VisualScripting;
using Unity.VisualScripting.FullSerializer;
using UnityEngine;

public static class GameState
{
    // Start is called before the first frame update
    public static Dictionary<string, object> globalState = new Dictionary<string, object>();
    public static int numberOfPlayers = 2;

    private static void Start()
    {
        globalState.Add("status", "menu");
        globalState.Add("playerCount", 1);
 
    }
}

[languid spire]

how are you going to execute Start ?

[gleaming forge]

No idea

[burnt vapor]

I'm not sure what the issue is in general. If this is supposed to be a Monobehaviour then you did it wrong

It's not supposed to be all static, and it should inherit from the MonoBehaviour class

[gleaming forge]

This is code-beginner right. I'm a beginner

[burnt vapor]

Sorry, but these things should not even happen if you have everything set up correctly

[languid spire]

He wants a script NOT attached to a Game Object

[burnt vapor]

Ah, I see now. There was a conversation above

[mental aspen]

Bump

[gleaming forge]

@languid spire Thanks for your help, all working now and I understand a little better 🙂

[burnt vapor]

This is fine if you want to very easily access static variables, but use a constructor instead to store the initial states

Even better would be to use singletons and to keep this script on a Monobehaviour.

[languid spire]

you may want to read
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/programming-guide/classes-and-structs/static-constructors

[burnt vapor]

Generally having everything static like this is not a good idea in terms of scalability

[gleaming forge]

Thanks all, I'll read that. This first project is not supposed to be scalable but I will read and learn for future projects

[burnt vapor]

All good, but I suggest you still read about Singletons. While they don't apply here as much they will be required once you encounter single instance Monobehaviours that must be accessed from anywhere. This will be sooner than you might think. https://unity.huh.how/references/singletons
This is because MonoBehaviours can't be static like this.

[gleaming forge]

Thanks, I will

So you decided to totally ignore the bot message?

[hollow forum]

Vector3 mousePos = Input.mousePosition;

[languid spire]

do you have your own class called Input?

[hollow forum]

no

im just trying to use the unity old input system

[languid spire]

and do you have the input manager set to old or both?

[hollow forum]

old

it wont even let me do Input.GetKeyDown or anything like that

theres literally 5 lines of code

public class Input : MonoBehaviour
{
    // Start is called before the first frame update
    private Vector2 mousePos = Vector2.zero;
    public float maxPower = 10f;

    {
        
    }

    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update()
    {
        Vector3 mousePos = Input.mousePosition;
    }
}

ignore the vector3 vector2 thing

i just fixed that

[languid spire]

Ok, so when I asked if you have your own class called Input your answer was what?

[hollow forum]

no

[languid spire]

and what is that class called ?

[hollow forum]

thats the name of the script

is it because of the name

[languid spire]

so what do you think the class name is then ?

[hollow forum]

ik its called input

[languid spire]

so you DO have a class called Input then don't you

[hollow forum]

let me try something quickly

it was because the name of the class was input

great

i just needed to change that name

[languid spire]

you will also need to change the file name

i ghave

i just made a new file

how do i change the size of a boxcollider2d in runtime? i see examples on the unity manual over changing the size of a standard boxcollider but nothing about a boxcollider2d

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/BoxCollider2D-size.html

colllider2d.size does nothing

[languid spire]

because you need to reference an INSTANCE not the class itself

And why are you using Collider2D when you know it's a BoxCollider2D ?

[autumn tusk]

ok yeah changing the type to boxcollider fixed my issues

[languid spire]

you have modified an instance of a prefab, you can update the prefab with the changes

but that will change all instances

if you have modified the prefab, you can remove the overrides on the instance

You make a new 3d project

[bleak hare]

no i switch to 2d

[bleak hare]

Bro can you make it understand its hopeless

Guys how to switch 3D because my camera become 2d idk how to change back

[steep rose]

Just right click and move your camera

[bleak hare]

I dont have that

Hey ! Right now, I’m trying to create a 2D rogue-like game, but I’m having a lot of difficulties with the attack system for the mobs. I'm not quite sure how to make it work properly... To summarize my attack system so far : The mob chases the player, and when it gets close enough, it stops and attacks using a BoxCollider2D that serves as a hitbox (thanks to the OnTriggerEnter2D() function). However, this isn’t viable because if the player doesn’t move, the BoxCollider2D doesn't trigger anymore, and thus the player doesn’t take damage... I'm not sure if I'm on the right track, so if anyone can help me, that would be great ! (PS : I can show my script if u want)

[steep rose]

we would 100% need you to show your !code

it doesnt matter if you're moving or not a trigger will still trigger, so you must be doing something to counteract that

[devout birch]

Ok so this is my Hitbox script for my Mob

using UnityEngine;

public class HitboxDetector : MonoBehaviour
{
    [SerializeField] PlayerStatistics playerStats;
    private MobBehavior mobBehavior;
    private CoroutineManager coroutineManager;
    private BaseAttack baseAttack;

    private void Start()
    {
        mobBehavior = GetComponentInParent<MobBehavior>();
        coroutineManager = FindObjectOfType<CoroutineManager>();
        baseAttack = new BaseAttack(playerStats, mobBehavior, coroutineManager);
    }

    private void OnTriggerEnter2D(Collider2D collision)
    {
        if (collision.CompareTag("Player")) 
        {
            baseAttack.PerformAttack();
        }
    }


}

and this is the script for basic attack

using System.Collections;
using UnityEngine;

public class BaseAttack
{
    // readonly = final (en java)
    public bool CanAttack { get; private set; }
    private readonly PlayerStatistics playerStats;
    private readonly MobBehavior mobBehavior;
    private readonly CoroutineManager coroutineManager;
    
    public BaseAttack(PlayerStatistics playerStats, MobBehavior mobBehavior, CoroutineManager coroutineManager) 
    {
        this.playerStats = playerStats;
        this.mobBehavior = mobBehavior;
        this.coroutineManager = coroutineManager;
        CanAttack = true;
    }


    public void PerformAttack() 
    {
        

        if (CanAttack) 
        {
            coroutineManager.RunCoroutine(AttackCooldown(1f));
            MobStats mobStats = mobBehavior.GetMobStats();
            playerStats.TakeDamage(mobStats.GetDamage());
            Debug.Log("Il reste " + playerStats.GetCurrentHealth + " HP au Joueur !");
        }
    }


    private IEnumerator AttackCooldown(float cooldownTime) 
    {
        CanAttack = false;
        yield return new WaitForSeconds(cooldownTime);
        CanAttack = true;
    }


}

[languid spire]

If you want the Mob to perform multiple attacks you should use OnTriggerStay

[steep rose]

curious on why it doesnt execute when standing still

[languid spire]

because Enter is only performed once

[steep rose]

each time when something goes into the trigger

[devout birch]

I know that but i think it's not "pro", i really want to do great

[languid spire]

each time the player goes into the trigger

[steep rose]

well yes, im going off the fact he tested standing still while not already in the trigger

[languid spire]

if you want to do pro, redsign your system

[devout birch]

how

[languid spire]

hit box should be on the player not the mob

[steep rose]

or you can just get the distance between player and mob

instead of using a collider

[devout birch]

I already have an hitbox on my Player for attack mobs, so i must to add an new BoxCollider2D to simulate the mob attack ? (sry for my english :( )

[languid spire]

you dont need 2, one hit box can do both jobs

[devout birch]

so what i have to do with the mob ? Mob must trigger the hitbox on the player ?

[mental aspen]

Bump. Help please :>

guys i need help i dont hv any errors on unity but i am throwing bananas via object pooling i hv 10 bananas in unity but i encounter 2 problems, 1 the banana is not moving any distance and 2 the clones of the banans are not deleting themselves like my code says to

any fixes thanks

Hey guys! Im trying to make a 2d shooting game but the bullet falls down when I shoot. My shooting code:

    public GameObject shootPos;
    public GameObject bullet;
    private GameObject shoot;

    private void Update()
    {
        
        if (Input.GetButtonDown("Fire1"))
        {
            shoot = Instantiate(bullet, shootPos.transform.position, Quaternion.Euler(0,0,-90));
        }
    }
}```
The bullet is a prefab
The components of the bullet:

[keen dew]

There's nothing there that would make it move forward

[analog wren]

do you set your speed?

[orchid kite]

oh i forgot to set it that must be it

[analog wren]

you probably need to set the gameobject active status to false when OnTriggerEnter2D

[orchid kite]

ah what a dumb mistake thank you bro

[analog wren]

so then when attack called, it will find the banana that is deactivated correctly

[orchid kite]

alr thanks man

[analog wren]

you have to apply velocity after instantiate

[devout birch]

Try Quaternion.Identity and remove rigidbody on ur bullet prefab

[orchid kite]

its still not working i set the speed and its only moving like 1cm and when i added that disable object it like only stays there for a second and goes away like a flicker so im not sure whats happening

@analog wren

[analog wren]

what the speed value you've set?

[orchid kite]

i set it to 10

[analog wren]

make the value larger? So then it can move futher before it get destroy by disable by the broke > 5

[orchid kite]

do u think i hv to make my direction public to change the value

like how high

[analog wren]

give it another 0

just for testing

[orchid kite]

alr

[analog wren]

seems like your direction is only for the size of the banana

[orchid kite]

its not working its still the same and its still doing the flicker thing

[orchid kite]

size?

Ok well it moved a bit but its still making a bunch of copies and not deleting its ef

self

i upped the cooldown

but its still making the copies and not moving any distance at all

ya so the speed is not making any difference

[analog wren]

oh ya, try remove your rigidbody

[orchid kite]

rigidbody of what

this is what it looks like rn

its just making a bunch of copies with the click and not dleeting itself and not moving any distance

Can anyone help me fixx this issue thanks the code is here

https://gdl.space/nuretavima.cs

im using object pooling but its not deleting itself and bananas dont move distance

[polar acorn]

Looks like it's colliding with something and stopping all of its movement and timers

Try putting a log in the on trigger enter

if this banana touches any object, it freezes in place and sticks around forever

[orchid kite]

iv never done a log statment before so how do i write it this is my first time

[polar acorn]

Debug log should literally have been the first line of code you ever wrote in unity

if you don't know how to do a debug log, you've gotten way ahead of yourself trying to implement object pooling

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Debug.Log.html

[orchid kite]

lol

[analog wren]

the code seems fine like on my side, can you post a video on how it looks like on your side?

I can create the banana and it get destroy after it broke

[languid spire]

it's no laughing matter. How did you ever expect to debug code?

[orchid kite]

bro i just found it funny cuz it was so basic its not a big deal

[orchid kite]

alright

the fisrt lines are just imports

[analog wren]

is there any error?

[orchid kite]

nope

[polar acorn]

This has already been answered

the banana is colliding with something as soon as it spawns

Use logs to find out what

[orchid kite]

alright

i hv just added the debug statment so lets see what it i

it says its hitting my monkey @polar acorn

should i move away the firepoint far away from it

[polar acorn]

And do you want the banana to freeze in place forever when it touches the monkey?

[orchid kite]

nope

[polar acorn]

Do you want the banana to freeze in place forever when it hits anything

[orchid kite]

i want the banana to disappear

when it hits something

[polar acorn]

So, you should probably add in some code that makes it disappear

[orchid kite]

but i did

[polar acorn]

Where?

[orchid kite]

private void OnTriggerEnter2D(Collider2D collision)
{
hit = true;
circleCollider.enabled = false;

but when i set the gameobject to false

[polar acorn]

How does that make it disappear

[orchid kite]

then it just flickers and its not moving any distancfe

[polar acorn]

That, in fact, makes the object freeze in place forever and never interact with anything ever again

[orchid kite]

so if its hitting the monkey therefore freezing do i move the firstpoint farther away

firepoint

[polar acorn]

First off, you should make the banana actually do what you want it to do on collision with the things you actually want it to collide with
