[late burrow]

from very begining i wanted get json as jobject but they giving me some trashy jtoken which cant be used for anything

[zenith cypress]

https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.nuget.newtonsoft-json@3.2/manual/index.html then just use JObject https://www.newtonsoft.com/json/help/html/QueryJson.htm

[obsidian granite]

How can I calculate where I need to apply a force and with what force to stop a spin?

[late burrow]

i use jobject but jobject["thing"] magically turns into jtoken

[zenith cypress]

Of which you can just keep keying into, look at the second link. What's the problem?

[late burrow]

i cant get raw text from these

and arrays

[zenith cypress]

Because you have to cast it?

Again, look at the second link

It does both

[late burrow]

i specifically not used a single different object for json

everything was built on jobjects

they seem to have everything

so for example im right in the point where i want get string from, why tostring() gives me both variable name and its value

i want separate these

[verbal dome]

Instead of force maybe you want to use AddTorque and angularVelocity

[obsidian granite]

yeah, sorry, torque would've been the better word. from what little i recall of physics, torque = angular acceleration * moment of inertia. how do i calculate moment of inertia in this case?

i know calculating moment of inertia is a multivariable calculus concept iirc

i know that i want to have the acceleration just be opposite the angular velocity

[verbal dome]

Yeah, would probably use AddTorque with the inverse of the current angularVelocity as the torque, and with the correct ForceMode. Maybe ForceMode.VelocityChange?

Ask in #⚛️┃physics if you can't figure it out

Worth mentioning that you can also directly modify angularVelocity if needed

[obsidian granite]

yeah i'm probably going to end up setting it to 0

[frank flare]

how do I check if not

Vector3.Distance(item1.position, item2.position) < 20

[obsidian granite]

what's the opposite of less than?

in code you can check the inverse of any boolean expression with the ! operator
for example, !true is equal to false

but in this case you don't even need it

[frank flare]

I figured out I had to do it !(...)

[obsidian granite]

why though

why not just make it a greater than or equal to sign

[frank flare]

if (!(Vector3.Distance(item1.position, item2.position) < 10))
                    {
                        Debug.Log("big distance");
                    }

[frank flare]

looks ugly

[obsidian granite]

ok man

inversting an entire condition looks uglier than >=?

i mean you do you but readability takes a hit there

[frank flare]

maybe

[winter blade]

guys, can I extract a c# code file from a builded game?

[obsidian granite]

that's decompiling, which i'm pretty sure is against the rules of the server to talk about

i don't recall

[little bone]

is anyone here willing to hop in a DM call with me and teach me how to actually code because the youtube videos that i watch really do not help me one bit

[languid spire]

learning to code takes years, not one call

[little bone]

yeah i know

[obsidian granite]

what are you having trouble with?

[little bone]

i kinda just want to learn some of the basics

[obsidian granite]

of which language?

c#? python? c++? c? asm?

[little bone]

c#

[obsidian granite]

c# for unity or c# in general?

[little bone]

c# for unity

[obsidian granite]

ok so what are you having trouble with

[willow scroll]

I don't think anyone will be willing to give you a personal lesson here. If you want to know something specific, which is not to be found in your browser, consider asking your question here.

[little bone]

everything fr

[little bone]

yeah you right

[obsidian granite]

speaking of c#, i gotta learn .NET, apparently that's what's big nowadays

[obsidian granite]

i mean i can't teach you everything

[little bone]

i know

[obsidian granite]

look at yt videos, if there's a concept in them u don't get, feel free to dm me

[willow scroll]

Yes, I am right. That's why use this channel for asking Unity-related question

[little bone]

thank you

[obsidian granite]

is it convention to use var in things like enhanced for loops in c#?

i never used auto when i was learning c++

but whenever i see yt vids, everyone is using var to declare variables

[languid spire]

I hate var, it adds nothing and takes away a lot of readability

[obsidian granite]

exactly

i don't get why, in a statically typed language, you would choose to not explicitly declare the type of any given variable

[willow scroll]

Use var whenever you like. In most cases, it's used for complicated structures, which require a lot of space, like Dictionary<int, IOrderedEnumerable<string>>, so you can choose simplicity over readability if you want to

[languid spire]

I'm with you on that one

[obsidian granite]

also, why does c# have like hungarian notation sorta for its interfaces?

idk what the term would be

them prefacing their interfaces with I

[willow scroll]

I stands for Interface. This way you differentiate them from methods

[languid spire]

Like a lot of the MS C# conventions, they are holdovers from the old C and C++ days, Totally pointless in this day and age of competent IDE's

[obsidian granite]

how would you get an interface confused with a method?

[obsidian granite]

ah

makes sense

[willow scroll]

As this answer suggests, just from reading what the class is derived from can tell you that's, probably, an interface

[languid spire]

bear in mind, in the 'good' old days all we had were, literally, text editors

[foggy yoke]

Hi, how can I play animations from a script?

[rich adder]

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

[foggy yoke]

ohhhhhhhh

thanks

[frigid quartz]

I want to use a "Lobby Data" scriptable object to store variables like Max Players, and share this lobby data on all sorts of different objects that need it. Currently, I have the LobbyDataSO referenced in my GameManager, and made the GameManager a singleton, so that LobbyData only needs to be changed in one spot to be reflected across everything else.

Is there a better way to do this though? Should I just make a serialized private _lobbyDataSO variable in every script that needs it and drag and drop for each?

[rich adder]

I mean you could but if its on a singleton already, why not just reference it from the singleton

[frigid quartz]

Because, I think I want to do away with the singleton. Right now I'm inheriting from a base "universal" Singleton script, something I just copied off a YouTube video, and its causing some errors, I know I could fix this pretty easily but I'm also seeing an opportunity to refactor and decouple things.

Also, one day, I intend for the game to be multiplayer and have different lobbies, and different game manager's specific to each lobby - I don't know enough yet to know if the singleton will be a problem or not, but I assume so.

Does it make sense to just set up a "LobbyManager" class and then have everything else just do a "FindAnyObjectOfType<LobbyManager>" to automate referencing it? Maybe I could also define default values where needed incase of LobbyManager being null?

[rich adder]

well scriptable object has many similiarities to singleton anyway. If its only a script needing the SO you dont need to reference the singleton of Lobby/Game Manager.
Otheriwise there is really no harm in doing LobbyManager.Singleton.SomeSettings etc.

[rich adder]

"FindAnyObjectOfType<LobbyManager>"
you don't need this if its already a singleton

[frigid quartz]

Okay, cool, I'll stick with a singleton for now then. Thanks!

[gloomy iris]

Unity.Mathematics.quaternion does not have a UnityEngine.Quaternion.RotateTowards equivalent anywhere in Unity.Mathematics... right?
If I want to do incremental rotation without any overshoot towards a target value I have no choice but to "implement" that myself?
Or am I just doing something fundamentally wrong?

[cosmic dagger]

Quaternion.RotateTowards is a regular method from the UnityEngine namespace . . .

you can call/access it normally using Quaternion . . .
https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Quaternion.RotateTowards.html

[gloomy iris]

So is that the intended way to use Unity.Mathematics.quaternion ? every time I'm missing something I should convert it to a UnityEngine.Quaternion and convert it back again to a Unity.Mathematics.quaternion ?

That sounds wrong

[cosmic dagger]

oh, you're looking for a similar method within Unity.Mathematics. i'm unsure if they have one. i don't use that namespace . . .

i thought you confused using the Unity.Mathematics.quaternion namespace with the regular Quaternion . . .

[gloomy iris]

Sadly not 😭

[brave compass]

No, nothing wrong. You'll have to implement it yourself. In terms of performance, there's no difference whether you implement it yourself or Unity does.

[cosmic dagger]

Then you need to create your own method . . .

[brave compass]

Fortunately, the Quaternion.RotateTowards is not an external, native function, so you can see exactly how it's implemented.
https://github.com/Unity-Technologies/UnityCsReference/blob/611307378c56a1b2f90eb1018332166cbe3c9c03/Runtime/Export/Math/Quaternion.cs#L216

[gloomy iris]

Rider could

[cosmic dagger]

Oh, a little late about that, haha . . . 😅

[gloomy iris]

I already made an adapted version of it I just wanted to know if I'm missing some intended way instead. Thanks 😄

[frank flare]

what way do you use to combine multiple stuff in an output?

like Debug.Log("rtgrg {position} wredgrfhmewrfg")

[rich adder]

use string interpolation

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/language-reference/tokens/interpolated

[wary gale]

Hi, noobie here. I tried turning the child of a gameobject into a different gameobject stored within a variable. This is done in the script of the parent. I would appreciate your input!
My line of code:

gameObject.transform.Find("Item1") = Player.GetComponent<PlayerScirpt>().Item1;

[wintry quarry]

This doesn't make any sense

You cannot "turn a GameObject" into another GameObject

Can you explain what you're trying to do?

[wary gale]

Really?

[formal sable]

Who can explain me code for random animations? I think I made a mistake and that's why I only have one animation playing

[wary gale]

Darn, okay i guess that explains it, i can find a workaround

[wintry quarry]

But a workaround for what? It's very unclear what you're attempting to do

I have a feeling your= is just backwards

It should be Item1 = Find(.. whatever)

Not the other way around

[deft grail]

your only playing 1 animation

[wary gale]

The child is an inventory slot that should become an item "picked up" by the player inside the player script

[deft grail]

Random.Range(1, 2) will only pick 1 always @formal sable

you would need to use 1, 3 to get 1 or 2, it says this in the docs for it

[wary gale]

But i think i can keep working from here. Thanks for your help

[wintry quarry]

Assigning a variable is like myVariable = value

not value = myVariable

if you want to change the hierarchy (change qwhich objects are children of which) then you need to be doing someObject.transform.parent = newParent or someObject.transform.SetParent(newParent)

that's different from assigning a variable

[formal sable]

Thank you! It's working!

[deft grail]

maxExclusive is exclusive, so for example Random.Range(0, 10) will return a value between 0 and 9, each with approximately equal probability. heres the line from the docs so maybe you can understand it a bit better, https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Random.Range.html

[formal sable]

Okay... Thank you

[true stratus]

idk what chat im supposed to go to but wehen i try to build my unity game halfway through of it building i get an error

and it dont show what errors

[deft grail]

#💻┃unity-talk

[wintry quarry]

if it doesn't show errors how do you know there's an error?

[true stratus]

it says it has 4 errors but not what errors

[wintry quarry]

There will be other errors in the console

Are you looking at the console window?

[true stratus]

yes

is there a way to show my errors

it says error building player 3 errors but not what im supposed to fix

[wintry quarry]

Click each of those errors

and look at the full message

[true stratus]

most of them dont really give anything except saying something is wrong

[wintry quarry]

Show them all

[true stratus]

thats all

[wintry quarry]

Ok so that's one problem. You're apparently referencing this logo in your build which shouldn't be referenced.

[true stratus]

do i just delete the logo file?

[wintry quarry]

You have to stop referencing it wherever you're referencing it

[true stratus]

how

[wintry quarry]

You have something referring to it

[true stratus]

i started developing a few days ago

[wintry quarry]

make it not refer to it

You can right click it and find references

[true stratus]

these are the ones they floating around the map

do i delee em

delete

[wintry quarry]

wdym they're floating around the map

[true stratus]

in top right and in bottom u can see em

[wintry quarry]

those are gizmos aren't they?

[true stratus]

idk

[wintry quarry]

or is that an actual sprite

[true stratus]

their appart of my multiplayer thing

[wintry quarry]

you have to look at the things

and see what they are

Sprites?

MeshRenderers?

[wintry quarry]

that's the asset

I mean the thing in the scene

[true stratus]

there for my vc

and my player spawner

[wintry quarry]

that's not referencing the logo no

You should right cllick on the logo asset

and Find References In Scene

but also this is maybe more of a VRChat question

[true stratus]

how

cuz i wanna test my new multiplayer build

[true stratus]

so do u know how to fix it?

im looking for refrencses and it shows this

so they are refrences

@wintry quarry

help its stuck on this white build how do i turn it to normal

[true stratus]

i found the refrence

[frank flare]

does it mean something important? (I decided to go on and don't have these stuff now)

[rich adder]

seems your .meta isnt matching whatever you imported

i think

should not be issue unless it keeps happening

you cuold try just deleting the library folder and rebuild also

[frank flare]

it's ok

this is the project that took me 1 month

[twin bolt]

I need help. I'm trying to set up dropping items on the ground, only issue is that using triggers is not working, since there may be carpets on top of wooden/marble floors. I'm thinking Raycast's, but if the item could be constantly rotating, that will cause issues.

[tranquil zealot]

hey guys! so im trying to make it so that when i press space, a bullet is instantiated and is moving in the direction of my players current rotation, any tips? this is top down 2d btw

[keen dew]

Which part of that do you not know how to do?

[rich adder]

if you want a thicker raycast use something like a boxcast or spherecast

[tranquil zealot]

lmao should have specified, i cant figure out how to make it move in the rotation of my player

[rich adder]

pass the rotation on instantiate then make bullet go transform.right or transform.up depending which way the original sprite faces( red arrow / green arrow )

[tranquil zealot]

but the rotation is dynamic, not just up left right or down

[late burrow]

whats the expected way of going one step down of jtoken and reading its childs

[main karma]

I tried using it and just debugging whenever it hits and it seems it never calls it, any ideea why?

[livid grail]

cs
Debug.Log(360/100);

Why does this give me 3 instead of 3.6?

[short hazel]

JToken is abstract and may refer to anything in the JSON payload. "hello" is a JToken for example.
You need to type-check and base your logic on that. If the token is an array, loop through all its elements (which you'll get as JTokens too!). If it's an object, loop through its properties' values (which will also be JTokens)

if (tok is JArray arr)
  // use 'arr' your array
else if (tok is JObject obj)
  // use 'obj' your object

[short hazel]

Integer division. Dividing two int produces an int. Make one of them a float by using the "f" postfix: 360f / 100, you'll get a float back which will have the intended result

[livid grail]

It gives me the same result when I try to devide it with a float

rotationAmount = 360 / NumberAmount;

RotationAmount is a float

[slender nymph]

but is NumberAmount a float or an int

[short hazel]

360 and/or NumberAmount must be a float

It does not care about which variable you'll be putting it into

float result =  3 / 10;

Gets evaluated as:

1. Compute the result of 3 / 10: it's 0
2. Convert that value to a float: still 0
3. Put the value in the result variable

By forcefully telling it that either operands of the division are floats, you convert to float first, then perform the division

[livid grail]

I solved it by simply delcalring 360 as a float

rotationAmount = 360f / NumberAmount;

number Amount is a int

but it all works as intended now, thanks!

[slender nymph]

and that is why the result of the operation was an int not a float

[potent olive]

would anyone know why the sprite isn't able to be created? I doubt it has anything to do with rounding or not being perfectly divisible, since the width works fine, but the height refuses to slice at any value other than 1. (note that the input field doesnt update when theres an error; the number of rows IS getting correctly set to 2, i have tested it)

[late burrow]

when im tostringing jtoken im getting "thing": "value" how to get only one of these

i dont see way to go futher down

[short hazel]

That's a property. Determine its C# type and you'll be able to get either the key or value

[late burrow]

i mean everything in json is string isnt it

[willow scroll]

It's only shown as a string

[short hazel]

The serializer parses the string and gives you some JTokens, which is the high-level representation of the string

[late burrow]

so i cant even get raw string from json?

[willow scroll]

json is already a raw string

[short hazel]

Yes you can, by using the C# types, and going through the "syntax tree"

[late burrow]

i do have type but i dont see why would i need it when i just want .value of current jtoken

because it gives me both name and value

[short hazel]

Tokens don't have a value because they may represent more than just a value. They could represent an array and its contents, an object and its properties

[glad wagon]

I'm lost here. I have a player animator and it is getting very confuse now that I want to add a weapon system. Is it better to put all the gun controller and animations in the tank controller script and in the player animator or should I create another animator and scripts for guns?

[late burrow]

if they represent more how do i go step down more then

[short hazel]

By writing a recursive method, with the type checks in it

[late burrow]

or perhaps i did bad by writing everything in jobjects now its pain in ass to get anything out of json?

[short hazel]

You don't seem to understand that there are multiple elements in a JSON payload

[late burrow]

yes and i wanted pretty much universal access by thing["a"]["b"]["c"}

no arrays no anything just objects that hold more objects

[short hazel]

Unfortunaltely that's not how the serializer works

You either recursively go through the syntax tree, or deserialize the JSON payload into C# classes you make yourself, that conform to the structure of the JSON payload

[late burrow]

is there like any thing that allows me write data to nonexistent variables

like json

i can write but not read

[short hazel]

You cannot write to something that does not exist

[potent olive]

heres the code:

public void SplitSpritesheet()
    {
        int spriteWidth;
        int spriteHeight;

        spritesInSpritesheet.Clear();

        spriteWidth = spritesheet.texture.width / rowsInt;
        spriteHeight = spritesheet.texture.height / colsInt;

        for (int i = 0; i < rowsInt * colsInt; i++)
        {
            Vector2 bottomLeft = new(0, spritesheet.texture.height - spriteHeight);
            Vector2 topRight = new(spriteWidth, spritesheet.texture.height);


            Sprite splitSprite = Sprite.Create(spritesheet.texture, new Rect(bottomLeft, topRight), new Vector2(0.5f, 0.5f));
            spritesInSpritesheet.Add(splitSprite);
        }

        characterPreview.sprite = spritesInSpritesheet[0];
        charAspectRatioFitter.aspectRatio = (float)spriteWidth / (float)spriteHeight;
    }

[willow scroll]

I don't seem to be able to load your video

[potent olive]

it should just be an mp4 recorded with obs, maybe restart your discord? idk

[short hazel]

Works for me, try restarting

To be confirmed, but seems like an off-by-one error? Error message suggests that the bottom right point of the rect is at Y 1066, which might be 1 too many for an image that is 1066px high (where coords would go from 0 to 1065)?

[potent olive]

i've tried subtracting 1 from the height, width, and both, but that doesn't seem to work. let me restart and then record a video

[willow scroll]

Are you sure you have checked the parameters of the Rect's (Vector2, Vector2) constructor?

[potent olive]

OH

[willow scroll]

Since it takes position and size, not corners

[potent olive]

i think thats the issue- yeah

yep, that fixed it

my bad!

[willow scroll]

(float, float, float, float) might be better to use in your case

[potent olive]

(to be fair im a bit surprised that theres no overload for the construtor to take two corner points lol)

thanks for the help!

[wheat coral]

I want to make a script by which my game object can throw balls towards my bat in curve direction

        }
    }```

why doesnt this work i put it on the player and its not reloading the scene

my player has a character controller and capsule collider

[rich adder]

hows that change what I suggested.. ifyou pass rotation on instantiate, the object already has the proper facing direction

[rich adder]

https://unity.huh.how/physics-messages

[potent olive]

alright, i have another issue. i'd like to make it so that, when refreshing the TMP inputfields through this method, it doesnt trigger the functions set in the unity inspector. however, the code i have below still ends up triggering the function set in the inspector. Is there any way to fix this?

    public void RefreshFields()
    {
        charNameInput.text = currentAnimContainer.name;
        print(currentAnimContainer.name);
        rowsInput.text = currentAnimContainer.spritesheetRows.ToString();
        print(currentAnimContainer.spritesheetRows);
        colsInput.text = currentAnimContainer.spritesheetCols.ToString();
        print(currentAnimContainer.spritesheetCols);
    }

[short hazel]

Yep you have a SetTextWithoutNotify(string) method usable on the text, which will change the text without raising the event

[potent olive]

oh awesome

works perfectly, thanks :3

good so we're on the same page, show setup again or something we can prob figure this out in a few minutes lol

something with bullet shooting colliding with enemy even though they shot it ?

[meager sentinel]

yeah

smth

well not bullet colliding

i guess something else

or the shoot script is indirectly affecting with the character

bullet is set on trigger

[rich adder]

affect in what way

[meager sentinel]

it like pulls the player to the wall, seriously.

If you are fast enought you can get the enemy to pull you to the other wall and if you just get in enemy distance you will get pushed into any wall

[rich adder]

are you like applying the forces on the player maybe 🤔

is player rigidbody ?

[meager sentinel]

yes

and i know it is the enemy because if i get the range higher it also starts pulling into the wall without even moving

is it related to the player being rigidbody?

like rigidbody controlled?

[rich adder]

wild guess without looking at code, maybe you're grabbing the player rigidbody instead of bullet

applying force to players rb instead ?

[meager sentinel]

I mean i used the bullet code you gave me

and it doesn't make a mention to the player

so i dont think so

I will see which one of the 2 scripts causes the problem

[rich adder]

can you send both scripts and mayb a vid of whats happening ?
use links for scripts

[meager sentinel]

seems that the problem is the bullet script

[meager sentinel]

I think i had send it before

and i dont have video software

so i cant record

[final pelican]

The player movement script isn't picking up where the player is. What am I missing in the code?

here

[rich adder]

jesus why does a bullet need to have a reference to the player

well you have this rb = playerObject.GetComponent<Rigidbody>();
but doesnt seem to be anything so should be ok

[meager sentinel]

i thought that was the problem and i changed it

stills happening

[rich adder]

no shite, that line of coding isn't doing anything

changing/remove it wont change your current issue

[rocky canyon]

https://paste.myst.rs/1vo0cyn8 heres the Draw method @rich adder if u see anything that stands out to you

to me theres nothing to me thats gonna make sense why it doesnt display the BG if its docked and maximized

but it does when its undocked and maximized.. (same screen size)

and that Button error magically went away when i started lookin for it

[rich adder]

is just happening in teh editor right?

the old GUI method should still work okay.. I just heard people shouldnt built anything runtime with it. Much better to use UI or UIToolkit

[meager sentinel]

I guess the problem isn't the bullet script as i thought

since even after disabling everything it contains it stills does the same

[rich adder]

its not unless what you sent isn't the current script

check your movement script

is it only when enemy?

[rich adder]

probably limitation of old GUI system / dealing with also rendering the other editor windows

[meager sentinel]

yes

[brazen mortar]

Hi there!
I have this code for updating the rotation of a cinemachine3 camera based on the script from the unity example.
My version uses an external script(TouchField) to give me a vector2 for the x and y input from the player.

however the unity scripts returns a float that seems to be based off some kind of conditional statement but i'm not sure how to tell it x or y?
https://gdl.space/yucafotece.cpp

and a link to the unity example code below
(https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.cinemachine@3.0/api/Unity.Cinemachine.CinemachineInputAxisController.InitializeControllerDefaultsForAxis.html#Unity_Cinemachine_CinemachineInputAxisController_InitializeControllerDefaultsForAxis_Unity_Cinemachine_IInputAxisOwner_AxisDescriptor__Unity_Cinemachine_InputAxisControllerBase_Unity_Cinemachine_CinemachineInputAxisController_Reader__Controller_)

[rich adder]

when does it happen particularly, also could you just use the built in windows recording with windowsKey + G

or dl OBS

[meager sentinel]

OBS doesn't work for my pc

[meager sentinel]

I have that function disabled because it uses too many resources

use oCam, it is for lower end pc's thats what i use

tried it and it goes like 1 fps

[rich adder]

well without seeing whats happen is hard for us to see what the issue is

[steep rose]

what do you mean 1fps? like 1fps when you are using it or when it uploads a video?

[meager sentinel]

Basically seems like it applies a force (not in script terms, or maybe) to the player, like pushing him in the complete opposite direction where he was going to the wall without being able to move for some reason even after being out of the range

[steep rose]

if your pc cannot run oCam then im not sure what you can do

[meager sentinel]

I tried using it once and the output was like 1 fps

[polar acorn]

Then you should probably not try to develop games on a potato battery

[steep rose]

output meaning? video upload or actual usage of the app

very vague meaning "output"

[meager sentinel]

Like the video after being exported

[polar acorn]

Presumably, they mean the output

[steep rose]

in that case then you can change settings in oCam to make the fps higher

[rich adder]

idk what the wall means in this context. What about when enemy script is disabled

if its not working as predicted you messed up somewhere

work your way back to what you did while it was still working

[meager sentinel]

Well, before you sended the script to me

thing is i forgot what i had before

[rich adder]

wdym what script ?

[meager sentinel]

You sended out like 2 fixed lines

[sage peak]

Can someone please explain to me whats the difference between a Public float and a Private float

[rich adder]

which ones cause your script looks nothing like somethign I would send to you lol

[polar acorn]

public variables are accessible from any script with a reference. Private variables are only accessible to the script they're defined in

[rich adder]

maybe this Rigidbody rb = Instantiate(projectile, transform.position, Quaternion.identity).GetComponent<Rigidbody>(); and even this is messed up cause i told you you can remove GetComponent if you're already spawning as RB @meager sentinel

[meager sentinel]

Yeah

but i dont think so

since i added the // and stills happens

[sage peak]

So if its public I can use it in any other script, and if its private I can only use it in ONE script? But then why dont you just not make them all private?

[meager sentinel]

i dont know if i deleted something accidently

[polar acorn]

To save you from yourself

[sage peak]

Or public

[rich adder]

generally you should make them all private unles you really need them to be accessed else where

[polar acorn]

If a variable shouldn't be edited from another script, make it private

[sage peak]

Oh, okay, thanks a lot! <3

[rich adder]

look up "Encapsulation"
its one of the basic principles of OOP

[polar acorn]

That way you don't end up with stuff breaking in ways you don't expect

[meager sentinel]

Nava, should i just throw this code all to the trash and try to make another AI code?

[rich adder]

probably

i doubt its that code, did you try disabling it

[meager sentinel]

I mean, i couldn't know because no bullets would be spawned

[rich adder]

well nothing is touching the player on this script 🤷‍♂️

[meager sentinel]

Is there any guide that serves good to make an AI?

i tried making this one myself and well, you see how that went out.

[rich adder]

AI is very broad topic

it can range from simple follow stuff to complex algoritms/systems like GOAP

[rich adder]

are you sure the AI script is causing this though

[meager sentinel]

I guess, i dont want to deal with this old script anymore

i have been stuck in this for 3 months

[rich adder]

yeah so start new, one step at time

and never use Transform/Translate to move rigidbodies

[steep rose]

as they will ignore collisions ^

best use Addforce() or Velocity to move them

[brave shore]

Okay, so my issue is, i have currently two scenes in my project. In one, when I create a simple square and give it a boxcollider2D, and a script just to test the OnMouseEnter() method, all happens well and I get my Debug.Log("...") message. But when I do the EXACT same thing in my other scene, the mouse is not recognized and I get no Debug.Log message. For now I only want the Square in the second scene to also recognize the mouse entering its collider.

Attached are the inspectors of both squares, and the script on both of them.
I would immensely appreciate some help, as this is stalling my entire game. Thanks so much!

[wintry quarry]

I see HEHE in the console in both scenes

Shouldn't you have your console window open though?

It's not actually open afaict

[brave shore]

Oh i just didn't clear it yet, it is not recognizing the mouse on the purple scene

[spiral oak]

That doesn't make any sense, the squares are both the same, aren't they?

[wintry quarry]

Are you using the new input system or the old

[brave shore]

I fiddled with it and I ticked the "both" option

[spiral oak]

He's using just OnMouseEnter method

[nocturne iron]

my friend gets this error which doesnt let him enter the project without going into safe mode

System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
at ApiUpdater.MovedFromOptimizer.Program.CollectMovedFromTypeNamesFromAssembly(String assemblyPath, StreamWriter outputFile, IAPIUpdaterListener logger)
at ApiUpdater.MovedFromOptimizer.Program.RealMain(String[] args)
at ApiUpdater.MovedFromOptimizer.Program.Main(String[] args)

does anyone know a fix?

[wintry quarry]

Yes, which is not supported in the new input system

[spiral oak]

Oh

[wintry quarry]

OnMouseEnter is only supported in the old system. I recommend using IPointerEnterHandler either way instead, as it's more robust and supported in all input systems

[rich adder]

seems to be some type of asset

[brave shore]

Okay, I will learn more about it. Thanks so much! I will share if it worked as soon as I implement it

[rich adder]

https://docs.unity3d.com/2019.1/Documentation/ScriptReference/EventSystems.IPointerEnterHandler.html

[spiral oak]

It seems his Unity's APIs updater is failling

No idea how to fix it though

[nocturne iron]

ah

[rich adder]

probably a bad asset causing it

[rich adder]

does your friend by any chance, have some very long names or special chars in their project path?

[valid needle]

Hey guys, im VERY new to the whole coding aspect of unity, and wanted to make a NavMesh Agent go from one point to another, and when it reaches the end, it gets Destroyed. I attempted it and got an error stating the following:

error CS1061: 'GameObject' does not contain a definition for 'collision' and no accessible extension method 'collision' accepting a first argument of type 'GameObject' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

and

error CS1501: No overload for method 'Destroy' takes 0 arguments

The script is shown below

Any way around this?

[wintry quarry]

Where are you getting this "Enemy.collision" thing from

you made that up
there is no such thing called "collision" on a GameObject, which is what your error is telling you.

[steep rose]

well you would use Oncollisionenter

not just any random "collision"

[rich adder]

also !ide

Also Enemy.Destroy() is likewise nonsense, GameObject doesn't have a Destroy() method

[steep rose]

Destroy(gameobject);

is the right way to do that

[wintry quarry]

in this case - Destroy(Enemy);

[steep rose]

best configure that ide 😅

[valid needle]

ah, i see. apologies this is my first time giving this a shot, and i decided to wing it. thanks for the help though 🙏

[steep rose]

you know when you configured it correctly when it starts to roast you

[wintry quarry]

You would probably be better off following some tutorials to get the hang of things. And definitely get your IDE configured.

[valid needle]

will do 🙏

[rich adder]

yeah you dont want to just wing it without a base foundation

[wintry quarry]

likewise the whole agent.GetComponent<NavMeshAgent>() line doesn't do anything and is pointless.

[rich adder]

its YELLING AT ME !

[steep rose]

1000% configure that ide, I know it sounds like we are harping at you but we are trying to help 😅

[steep rose]

it can bark sometimes, we all know that pain

[rich adder]

or choose not to update because its stuck in a loop saying "close vs" and then updater opens again and again "close vs" 🥲

[valid needle]

oh no dont worry at all, i appreciate your guys' help fully

[rich adder]

if you have issues configuring the editor dont hesitate to ask, sometimes VSC can be trickier than VS to configure

[valid needle]

got an issue again. The script works perfectly, except for the part where its meant to collide with an objcet tagged endofpath. when it moves to it, it treats it as if it doesnt have a collider at all, and just goes through it

[deft grail]

does it have IsTrigger checked? or are you moving by not using physics aka teleporting

[valid needle]

doesnt have IsTrigger checked, and its using a NavMeshAgent to get from one point to another. What i did was set the waypoint behind the object that is meant to destroy it thinking it would destroy the object just before it finished its path

[rich adder]

navmesh agents dont collide with anything

they're using a mesh to navigate, their transform is written by component

[valid needle]

shoot, that explains that then

[rocky canyon]

i tie a rigidbody to mine to use for collisions and stuff

[steep rose]

you could make your own navmesh agent

ive seen people do it before

[rocky canyon]

turn off gravity and stuff and and let it just follow the agent

[valid needle]

alright, ill give this a shot

[rich adder]

lock it or make it kinematic

[valid needle]

didnt seem to do anything 🤔

[rich adder]

putting a rigidbody wont do anything except give you OnCollision and OnTrigger method depending on collider type

the transform is still being " teleported "

[hasty tundra]

Im trying to have it setup so that when upper is assigned, instead of having to specify which part of the enum i want to reference, having to have a seperate line of code for each instance, that i could potentially have it setup to where i can put a variable such as an integer where [ManageSkillTree.WeaponDataType.Gun] is, so that i could change the variable to call a different instance instead of having to have a million very similar lines of code.

[rich adder]

what are you trying to do exactly? whats the end mechanic for this

[steep rose]

if you have an enum, why not just use said enum?

im not sure I follow

[hasty tundra]

for the record, this is my first time using an enum like this so if theres a really simple workaround like that that ive missed its completely on me

[valid needle]

pretty much, im attempting to make a tower defense project, just to test out different things, and this is pretty much for the enemy getting from the start of the path to the end, then it despawns

[rich adder]

what does collider needed for though

if you want it to stop somewhere you SetDestination to it

or agent.Stop

[valid needle]

to collide with the end of the path, then despawn. theres going to be alot of these spawning in depending on the round, so i want it to collide with the end then depsawn for lag purposes

[hasty tundra]

In my head it would work smthing like this but i havent been able to find a way

[rich adder]

why dont you just use Agent.remainingDistance or Vector3.Distance
https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/AI.NavMeshAgent-remainingDistance.html
or
https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Vector3.Distance.html

despawn when close to threshold you assign

[valid needle]

didnt really think about that actually. this was just what i originally had in mind. it works just fine now since i unchecked the kinematic option, so i got that working

[steep rose]

im sure you can do this, im just thinking of how

bear with me

[valid needle]

it goes from start to finish, then despawns. at the minute theres no issues with it at all

[rich adder]

you care about performance putting a rigidbody on a nevmesh agent is not performant at all (esp dynamic one since they're figting for control of position)..also wait till you spawn a bunch

[hasty tundra]

yeah it seems like it should be simple but i have no clue how 😭

[rocky canyon]

anyway, for the rigidbody method to work like that
it needs to be a child of the navmeshagent.. (locking it in the x, y, z position [the local position])
now the rigidbody gets moved around b/c the navmesh is moving around..
then your detection logic would check against that rigidbody (the now child object) and not the actual navmesh agent

that said, Navarone's method is better for this.. if the only goal you have is to despawn them when they reach the end of the line
you could check distance.. once distance between you and the destination is low enough (you've made it -> despawn/destroy it)

[rich adder]

simplify it

[valid needle]

ahh i get it now, alright. once again, this is my first attempt at this kind of stuff, so im pretty new to all of this. apologies if my issues seem a bit stupid or anything

[rocky canyon]

no worries.. gotta learn somehow.

[steep rose]

i mean you can do this

private void Weapontypes(){
Zero = Weapondatatype.Gun;
One = Weapondatatype.sniper;
Two = Weapondatatype.shotgun;
etc
}

you wouldnt need an enum if you do it this way if you just put your weapon code in here

[rocky canyon]

my favorite way is experimenting

[valid needle]

which is exactly what im doing at the minute. its honestly pretty fun to be completely honest 😅

[hasty tundra]

issue with doing it this way is that the enum has already been implemented into (and worked well with) a bunch of other systems in the game to the point where it would be a nightmare to change

[steep rose]

you can use the code i provided if you have said enum already implemented

[hasty tundra]

i have a way around the issue, but its brought up another issue in the way

[cosmic dagger]

what are you trying to do?

[hasty tundra]

This @cosmic dagger

if i want to return something that isnt a simple value, what would i have to put as the identifier / where the underscores are?

[rich adder]

still confusing what you're asking tbh as I have no clue how this system supposed to work

[rich adder]

maybe T ? idk what is not a simple value

object ?

[cosmic dagger]

everything is a type. if you don't know the specific type, then you'd use a BaseType or a generic T instead . . .

[hasty tundra]

Well T isnt working..... neither did object

[rich adder]

look up generics

[cosmic dagger]

@hasty tundra it's hard to say anything else because we don't know what data you're trying to return or what you're actually doing (at the moment) . . .

[cosmic dagger]

that's not how you use it . . .

[hasty tundra]

yeah no i got that now i goofed that 😭

[hasty tundra]

let me try and explain it a bit better one sec

[rich adder]

smart

[cosmic dagger]

well, what type does MST.Skills[ManageSkillTree.WeaponType.Gun]; return?

[rich adder]

private T CheckTower<T>() btw

but we still need to know more

[cosmic dagger]

CheckTower doesn't sound like it would returns smth . . .

[rich adder]

yeah confusing name for its current purpose

[cosmic dagger]

hmm, i guess it could, if it was a bool . . .

[rocky canyon]

yea i was about to say.. i have many CheckInstance() that returns bools

[rich adder]

I always prefer prefixing my bools with Is

[rocky canyon]

    private void CheckInstance(object instance,string instanceName)
    {
        if(instance == null)
            Dbug.Error($"Check{currentSector} - {instanceName} is missing! Unable to proceed.");
    }``` nvm im a liar.. its a void

[rich adder]

or has if Im checking for something although usually that returns an object with an out

[cosmic dagger]

i can see returning a bool with an out param, but i would prefix Is, Has, or Can . . .

[cosmic dagger]

same . . .

[hasty tundra]

Thats the best explination i can give

[cosmic dagger]

i bet you i have a CheckSomething in my code base. i wouldn't be surprised . . .

[rich adder]

wouldn't a dictionary be easier?

wait nvm nvm

what does that object returned

[cosmic dagger]

still reading, but what is Upg?

[hasty tundra]

it literally means nothing, its just a filler name for the voids as i was typing i out for the example

[deft grail]

doesnt mean Upgrade?

[rich adder]

*methods not voids lol

[hasty tundra]

it would in context but all i mean is you COULD change out the names for anything

[cosmic dagger]

so upper is set to a skill from the Skills dictionary using the ManageSkillTree.WeaponDataType enum as a key, right?

but instead, you want to pass in an int, like in WeaponUpg and use that as the key? is this correct?

[hasty tundra]

basicly yeah, but dont worry anymore, ive found a workaround that works just as well 👍

[cosmic dagger]

all you have to do is assign a number to each value in your enum and cast the enum to an int (when used as the parameter), then change the dictionary key type from ManageSkillTree.WeaponDataType to int . . .

an enum is just readable ints. you can cast them to their integer equivalent . . .

[ember tangle]

Is this the best way to declare a singleton using monobehaviour? Is there a better way? ```public class Foo : MonoBehaviour
{
public static Foo instance { get; set; }

private void Awake()
{
    if (instance != null && instance != this)
    {
        Destroy(instance);
    }
    else
    {
        instance = this;
    }
}

}```

[slender nymph]

I personally prefer this way, then you just inherit it like Foo : SingletonBehaviour<Foo> and it has all the setup (and even lazy-loads if you want that behavior), and other objects cannot modify the Instance property

[tribal pendant]

is there a way to do a "planecast" in 3d unity?

[slender nymph]

depends on your definition of a planecast

[tribal pendant]

like a 2d plane

[rich adder]

is box not a plane with 0 height-ish

[tribal pendant]

yeah but from what i've seen boxcast doesn't ask forr all of the measuments in the 3 directions

[rich adder]

3 directions ?

wdym

[tribal pendant]

it asks for the center of the box and the half extents

[slender nymph]

yes, and?

[tribal pendant]

it doens't ask for the depth longness or wideness

[slender nymph]

what do you think the half extents are?

[rich adder]

make a new vector3 with half the measurements

[ember tangle]

That's pretty clean

[tribal pendant]

oh wait i'm stupid, i tought it was just a float for half extend and not a vector3

so sorry

[rich adder]

btw there is also OverlapBox if you want a more stationary instead of needing direction or raycast hit point, just colliders (use non-alloc version)

[tribal pendant]

thanks

it's 4 am here and i'm starting to feel it

should go to bed

[rich adder]

learned the hardway never good idea to code tired

[vestal adder]

im trying out the new input system and the docs say to do " moveAction = InputSystem.actions.FindAction("Move"); " however there is no definition for actions in InputSystem

[rich adder]

#🖱️┃input-system

i only know one way to use it :\

[vestal adder]

thanks i diddnt think there would be one for that in particular

[rich adder]

yeah cause its so complex 😅

at first.. they have like 3-4 different ways to get inputs

I would suggest just using the Player Input asset

then the OnMove for example from your Move action

[vestal adder]

i am used to the original input method but id like my game to be on lots of platforms

the player input asset?

[rich adder]

https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.inputsystem@0.9/manual/ActionAssets.html#using-action-assets-with-playerinput
i find this easier to work with

[vestal adder]

i dont know about it

[rich adder]

all you do is plop that component on your gameobject

use a script to use any of the messages displayed at bottom

so if you have a Move action, this componnet automatically calls OnMove method in your script when move keys are pressed

[vestal adder]

nice

okay that sounds good thanks ill look into it

[rich adder]

yeah Imo much easier than using weird strings n shit

[sturdy forum]

how would I attach an inventory ui to the front face of a simple 3d object like say a cube or to something a bit trickier like the screen of a tablet and be able to bring it out or put it away at the press of a key or button like say tab on a keyboard or circle on a playstation controller

[rich adder]

eith work with Screenspace and use World To Screen or World canvas

[glad wagon]

how can I make the gun lock in one of the enemy's colliders?

I tried to use a weakpoint Layer in the collider but is not working

[rich adder]

show current code

[glad wagon]

https://gdl.space/jimajaropi.cs

[versed light]

i have this code in my editor script:

        private void OnSceneGUI()
        {
            Debug.Log(Event.current.type);
            if(Event.current.type != EventType.Repaint)
                return;

            var asset = target as AreaBlueprint;
            DrawUtility.Draw(asset.Perimeter, Color.white, 5);
        }

but i never get any logs, when does this actually get called?

[rich adder]

how do you calculate the shoot forward for shootOrigin.forward

[glad wagon]

there is a gameobject in the player's hand assigned in the script

[rich adder]

and the hand is pointing only where rotation of the player occurs?

[glad wagon]

yes

[rich adder]

use a script that references the shootOrigin and do something like shootOrigin.transform.LookAt(target.collider.bounds.center)
(you would need two rays, one that finds target while you point and another for the actual shoot

that should fix your shootpoint

[versed light]

does OnSceneGUI not work for scriptable objects? thats my only guess for why its not working atm

[rich adder]

OnSceneGUI is an editor only func

try using [ExecuteInEditMode] maybe

[glad wagon]

idk if the collider is using the layer correctly

I put include layer

but nothing changes

[versed light]

yeh it is in an editor script but its an editor script for a scriptable object

it doesnt seem to execute for them

maybe because SOs are not considered "in the scene" but then not sure how you draw gizmos to debug data in a SO

[rich adder]

i have no idea what that does tbh thats new

[versed light]

maybe it needs higher priority

[rich adder]

put the debug stuff in the mb / editor only script, and access the SO like that

[cursive seal]

im at school and the internet blocks stackoverflow, can you sent a screenshot?

[golden obsidian]

break your task to more comprehensible tasks, like

• detect mouse button (I see that you've done this already)
• check if timer is zero
• if timer is equal or less than zero, shoot (you've already done the shooting), then set timer to the amount of delay
• else, decrease timer by Time.deltaTime

[sullen perch]

k thx

[rich adder]

if you put effort and looked for a second at the images, would've seen there is one of the code examples...

[sullen perch]

i did look, im just new so i didnt realy understand it

I had to change from layer method to make the script get the collider directly from the enemy game object. The problem is that it’s only identifying the first collider, and no matter what I do it don’t recognize the second

[fierce shuttle]

Having lots of Updates can affect framerate, but it heavily depends on what those Update calls are doing, and Start may only cause conflicts with race conditions in your logic, since the order of Start is not predictable, you may not be able to have code in your collision script for example reference something in your movement script, if your movement script also needs to initialize the thing your collision script wants to reference that early - though Game Objects in Unity are entirely designed to have multiple scripts on them working independently, so as long as you handle your logic and understand the execution order of scripts, you should be fine - another option I usually do, is have scripts use a System.Serializable attribute and not inherit anything, then 1 MonoBehaviour can call a "OnUpdate" (or however youd prefer to name your functions), this way 1 Update can run the logic for multiple scripts

[fierce shuttle]

This sounds like a strange oversight on your schools part, im guessing this assignment is code related to your course, so its odd your school would block a code related website - although StackOverflow is not the only place to find examples, theres also the Unity Forums and many other blogs online, and the official Unity Docs which do have examples on using coroutines as its part of their API

[eternal needle]

its likely a highschool, its pretty common for them to just blanket ban anything. Or it could even just be a whitelist of allowed websites, which would be worse for them

[fierce shuttle]

Owow, I guess my highschool had it light, only the explicit NSFW sites and gaming sites like miniclip were banned

[rich adder]

what does first and second mean in this context?

show code

[nimble apex]

i mean its already good enough, our school banned all method or tricks that are not taught from the lesson

even if u can do the work, if its not taught by school , 0 mark

[glad wagon]

https://gdl.space/sovoqofuza.cs

tbh idk what order he is considering

but in this case he is considering the bottom collider

(the bottom in the game, the first in the inspector)

ok, I kind of figured it out

he is using collider index to list the number of colliders in the game object

[rich adder]

these collider sections should all be their own gameobjects

Hello I was having a lighting issue where when I switch from my main menu scene to my game scene the lighting bakes itself and everything goes really dark is anyone able to help me out with this, I dont really know what I am doing.

[ivory bobcat]

...clicked += (id) => showPlayerProperties(id);``` Assuming the button click event takes an integer.

[eternal needle]

if the button used an int, it would pass it as a parameter already

[eternal needle]

if you need to unsubscribe this method eventually, then you'll have to create a new method which takes no parameters and calls showPlayerProperties(0);
then just subscribe it with playerTabButton0.clickable.clicked += myMethod;

otherwise you can use the lambda syntax like
playerTabButton0.clickable.clicked += () => showPlayerProperties(0);

[gleaming forge]

Where would this button int come from? And how would I access it in the function?

[eternal needle]

it doesnt, i was saying that the above code wouldnt be neccessary if the button already passed an int as the parameter.

[gleaming forge]

I've now got this problem. I have 4 buttons that each call the function with different player ids. When I click button 1 it prints 4 times with the id of each button

        playerTabButton0 = rootElement.Q<Button>("player0Tab");
        playerTabButton0.clickable.clicked += () => showPlayerProperties(0);
        playerTabButton1 = rootElement.Q<Button>("player0Tab");
        playerTabButton1.clickable.clicked += () => showPlayerProperties(1);
        playerTabButton2 = rootElement.Q<Button>("player0Tab");
        playerTabButton2.clickable.clicked += () => showPlayerProperties(2);
        playerTabButton3 = rootElement.Q<Button>("player0Tab");
        playerTabButton3.clickable.clicked += () => showPlayerProperties(3);
    }

    private void showPlayerProperties(int playerId)
    {
        print(playerId);
    }

When I click any of the other 3 buttons it doesnt print anything

Duh

Its querying only the first button

So I have a question regarding procedural generation so I want to make levels to be procedurally generated much like rouge like games but I don't know how to go about it like which algorithms to use the next problem is that I want to pass a list of premade rooms that can be placed randomly through and the those will be connected through corridors and lastly I want to define like a exact section for the spawn and the boss room are or alternatively I want a set numbers of rooms that must exist in between the boss and the spawn room

[languid spire]

Not really a code question, you might be better asking in #archived-game-design
Having said that Proc Gen is most definitely not a beginner topic but I would suggest you start by researching Maze algorithms and try to implement some then take it from there

[hallow iris]

Doesn't procedural generation use algorithms?

[languid spire]

Everything uses algorithms, proc gen is generally based on one of the common maze algorithms unless you design your own

[hallow iris]

I will look in to maze algorithms as well thanks

[hallow iris]

Ohhhh

[woven crater]

why this is an editor script????

[north kiln]

Presumably it's in a folder called Editor, or it's under an Assembly Definition marked as Editor-only

But looking again your class is generic, you can't add generic classes directly to GameObjects; the error is just confusing if that's what's causing it

[woven crater]

anyway to work around?

i want to make a generic pool for scriptobject

[timber tide]

you can have a generic base class, but to serialize them in the editor you need to have the derived class strongly typed

otherwise start digging into serialize references

[woven crater]

i see

[queen adder]

https://gdl.space/bizawucivi.cs how to call a method when building? I want this specific script to destroy all of it's type on compilation

[burnt vapor]

"AGHHHH".log(); Why are you making these awful extension methods

Anyway does this not work? It should https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Build.IPreprocessBuildWithReport.OnPreprocessBuild.html

Does it call the method at all?

[queen adder]

mine's pretty the same

except public

[burnt vapor]

Does it call the method at all?

[queen adder]

I had an old method ipreposscess thing that workdd in 2017, howecer that was deprecated and unity told me to use this instead

[burnt vapor]

Does it call the method at all?

[queen adder]

i wouldnt ask if it is

[burnt vapor]

So the issue is that it's not destroying anything?

[queen adder]

yea

[burnt vapor]

Can you put a break point in the loop and see if there is anything even being destroyed?

And if so, what does it think it is?

[queen adder]

there's not even a log as well

it's 2022 if that matters anyway

[burnt vapor]

Maybe this? https://stackoverflow.com/a/76635848

Also, verify it's actually not called by doing something that actually changes something visually

[queen adder]

lemme see, that would be dumb to set true by default

[burnt vapor]

Logs might get cleared

[queen adder]

so that's what killing the logs, dont make sense to defineit true by default

[burnt vapor]

It's probably there for a reason

[queen adder]

let me see if it actually destroys the things

[burnt vapor]

For now I'd check if it calls the method at all

[queen adder]

I see.. it is only being called once, only deleting active objects on my main menu, instead of each scene 🤮

[faint lark]

@wheat wave it doesnt require a parameter, this is the whole code

[wheat wave]

@faint lark why are you even using ToArray in the first place? it seems that r_33_list is already a list<int>, which the left side expects

[faint lark]

this code is from the guy that made this asset

its not mine

[wheat wave]

ok?

[faint lark]

i didnt write this code, i simply imported the package and i got these errors

[wheat wave]

removing the .ToArray and see if it works

[wheat wave]

did you message the original author?

[faint lark]

no

it seems that removing toarray removes the error

dunno if wuld brake its functionality

[wheat wave]

that's a question for the asset creator

[faint lark]

yeah i guess your right

[teal viper]

What asset is that anyway?

Either it's a very old code or a plain mistake in the code.

[burnt vapor]

How would this break exactly?

You create a new collection which is accepted in the field/property. Unless you modify the list after this nothing will break that you caused

If that field/property is of a library then the author is the one who made the mistake considering they want you to pass a hard list type rather than a general interface

Nevermind, I would guess this is some tile based system and the point is to add/remove parts of the list. Regardless there should be an easier way to set this list.

[safe sphinx]

Can some one help me with codeing a weed growing system and planting

[obsidian granite]

what in particular do you need help with

those are pretty large systems

[safe sphinx]

Oh

[obsidian granite]

what specifically do you need help with?

[safe sphinx]

Just the whole thing

[obsidian granite]

well that doesn't give me much to work with, the only way i could help you with the "whole thing" is telling you exactly how you'd make a planting/weed growing system instruction by instruction

are you not sure on where to start?

[safe sphinx]

Yea I’m new lol sorry

[obsidian granite]

all good

so describe all of the functionality you want out of this system

[safe sphinx]

I’d make a plant pot that is the perant of the weed plant and as it grows it scales and you need to water it so it would have to have a watering plant and a seed bag that holds 10 seeds and it needs a uv light so it would grow

But idk how to do that lol

[obsidian granite]

okay so

a seed bag that holds 10 seeds? are you making an inventory system?

because that's what it sounds like you're going to need

[safe sphinx]

Yea I have the ui done

[obsidian granite]

okay so you need help making an inventory then

my reccomendation would be create a scriptableobject of inventory items

and use whatever data structure you want to store

[safe sphinx]

Ok

[sick storm]

hi i am trying to make my bullets speed up when i press e and it is not working the bullets are prefabs and don't actually exist in the scene until i spawn them in from another script here is the code: https://gdl.space/oliruzegir.cpp

upon further inspection if i press e while the bullet has been spawned the code works

but i need it to work before it is spawned

[formal sable]

Why is there a delay when I press the LMB while running to make a hit? Can this be fixed?

I have unchecked "Has exit time" and the animation is broken
I tried to set the transition duration to 0.1, it didn't help... At the moment I was clicking on LMB, and as you can see, the animation is not working

[languid spire]

so you need to capture the key in the spawning code and maintain a speed variable there. then when you spawn you can set the speed variable of the bullet immediatly

[wintry quarry]

Then it certainly shouldn't be based on code on the bullet itself

The bullet script should get its speed from elsewhere, a script that always exists

A Singleton may be a good option for you

[solar heron]

Anyone got tips for me to get back into this game engine. i really wanna get back into this but i forgot scripting like everything. i used to code 2 years ago but took a massive break.

[wintry quarry]

Or just having the spawner set the speed

Quick question: If I want to make a group of functions globally accessible or accessible at my discretion without inheritance, is that when I should use an interface?

[languid spire]

no, you would use a static class or implement the singleton pattern

[wintry quarry]

Wdym by "globally accessible"?

[thorny basalt]

public static

[plain dagger]

Just a class that I can call from anywhere without messing with inheritance

I've been reading up on static classes since the first reply

[thorny basalt]

An interface is when you want to force classes to have a certain implementation. For example, ICloneable forces it to have the Clone function. That way you can have classes with certain implementations without establishing a relationship

[plain dagger]

Specifically I'm making an in-cutscene manager and I want to programmatically trigger events like "walk to location" or "trigger inputted dialogue box" using parameters

Then I realized it'd be useful for other situations that'll appear, and so I don't have to connect a bunch of scripts

[thorny basalt]

Just be careful with them. Singletons can cause major problems if used incorrectly,
so most people avoid them.

[plain dagger]

So I've heard

[thorny basalt]

It mostly comes to expanding your project though.

[wintry quarry]

I was asking HT what THEY meant by it.

[wintry quarry]

Note the difference between an actual static class and a static reference to a singleton instance. They are different.

[thorny basalt]

Yeah. They can run into similar problems though

[wintry quarry]

"most people avoid singletons" is definitely not true lol. It's extremely popular, and useful.

[plain dagger]

I know that singletons have their haters at least

[formal sable]

Guys, can you help me? I don't understand...

[wintry quarry]

Seems like more of an #🏃┃animation question than a code question

[thorny basalt]

Here is an article :)
https://gameprogrammingpatterns.com/singleton.html

Tells you why they are controversial

They are convenient but if used incorrectly can be devastating. Though if it is a simple project, you’ll be fine

[zenith cypress]

They aren't controversial, people just sometimes abuse them in weird ways.

[wintry quarry]

Every single tool can be described this way. They're a tool.

[zenith cypress]

Also depending on the api, you have no choice but to use singletons/static hell (such as a lot of editor tooling)

[languid spire]

That article is frankly rubbish in a Unity context, for one thing it misses the point that a Singleton in Unity is serializable in the Editor and editable via the Inspector. Those are really the only reasons to use a Singleton over a static class

[plain dagger]

After a bit of reading, I think I might only need a static class over a singleton

I just need some simple implementation of functions, and I don't really want the script coupling

I will probably need to learn singleton design pattern at some point though

[thorny basalt]

Nah. You can subclass singletons

[languid spire]

but why would you, that is definitly the road to Singleton hell

[thorny basalt]

You can also have a singleton descend from monobehavior

[thorny basalt]

Variety of reasons, but the one they gibe as an example is having different operations for different platforms

[languid spire]

That is hardly specific to the Singleton pattern, abstract classes and interfaces deal with that situation very nicely

[thorny basalt]

Well, if you want it to be globally accessible, but yes, you are correct

[languid spire]

Realistically, if Unity serialized and made editable static classes 99.99% of people here would never even have heard of the Singleton pattern. It is a solution of necessity not of choice

[zenith cypress]

I think Odin has a window for that

[thorny basalt]

They do

[zenith cypress]

https://www.odininspector.com/files/pages/home/static-inspector.gif

jeez how big is that gif

https://www.odininspector.com/static-inspector

[cosmic dagger]

instead of the ScriptableObject architecture for representing individual values/data, just create a Singleton architecture where each data type is its own singleton. then you can access any variable from an instance, anywhere, yay! 😆

[ivory bobcat]

I wouldn't say that folks necessarily hate it but it goes against a lot of programming concepts outside of game development. It's perfectly fine for game development with Unity though.

[plain dagger]

Totally not me using multiple architectures erroneously

[thorny basalt]

Even better: Make a static class with a method that runs an if / else / if logic until it obtains the data it wants.

The Yandev way

[plain dagger]

Was about to say-

Kind of unfortunate that game. I had heard that he had actually gotten a lot better with criticism and fixing his code until all the stuff happened

[thorny basalt]

All games have a little but of spaghetti

Celeste has a 6000 line player script

My game will indeed have spaghetti

It's simply tradition

[quick fractal]

I'm aware this will sound like an incredibly stupid question but how do I get the correct local(?) rotation of a specific GameObject? localRotation isn't what I'm looking for since the GameObject I'm checking is the main parent.

My issue is that if I set another GameObjects rotation to the original, I'm seemingly either rotated relative to world space or incorrectly rotated. This is all I'm doing for it.

public void Teleport (GameObject target); // Custom function to teleport the player
{
    Player.gameObject.transform.position = target.transform.position + target.transform.forward * 0.3f;
    Player.gameObject.transform.rotation = target.transform.rotation; 
}```

It's anything from perfect rotation to 180 degrees off, the position works just fine.

[languid spire]

wdym checking?
Also why not just

Player.gameObject.transform.forward = target.transform.forward; 

[sullen zealot]

Hello! How could i extract from a json file an array of classes
This is the json file:

{
  "Aaliyah Gray": {
    "pfpImageIndex": 10,
    "score": 7450
  },
  "Aaron Price": {
    "pfpImageIndex": 8,
    "score": 8175
  },
  "Abigail Baker": {
    "pfpImageIndex": 3,
    "score": 9600
  },
  "Adam Barnes": {
    "pfpImageIndex": 1,
    "score": 8125
  }
}

and this is the script:

using System.Collections;
using System.Linq;
using UnityEngine;

[System.Serializable]
public class User
{
    public int pfpImageIndex, score;
}
public class DataSaver : MonoBehaviour
{
    public void LoadLeaderboardsDataFirebase(string jsonData)
    {

        if (jsonData == null)
        {
            Debug.Log($"No data found");
            return;
        }
        User[] users = JsonUtility.FromJson<User>(jsonData)); // ik its wrong but how can i make it work
    }
}

[languid spire]

you would need another class that contained a User array and serialize/deserialize that class

[quick fractal]

I want the 30cm offset. I should've added a negative value but it's for teleporting behind an enemy.

By checking I guess I just mean setting one rotation to another

[brave compass]

The question doesn't make sense to me. What I think you're most likely seeing is that Player has a different pivot than the target. That is, what you consider to be the zero rotation for the player is not the same for the target.

[languid spire]

what has a 30cm offset got to do with rotation

[brave compass]

transform.rotation is always the correct world rotation. Setting it to another transform's rotation will always set it to exactly the same.

[quick fractal]

That's for the position

position + forward * -0.3

[languid spire]

so why mention it? My code is setting the rotation by setting the forward direction of player to target

[quick fractal]

because I just copied it from the code directly

I don't feel like that's a big deal lol

[brave compass]

You misunderstood Steve's suggestion as something related to the position, because it also uses transform.forward, but he was suggesting as an alternative to setting the rotation

Because setting transform.forward will change the transform's rotation.

[wintry quarry]

JsonUtility doesn't support naked arrays.

[quick fractal]

Ah, ok, shouldn't target.transform.position + target.transform.forward * 0.3f set the rotation at the same time then? that's even weirder since they should be the same.

[languid spire]

no

[brave compass]

No, because you're just reading transform.forward there, not setting it.

[quick fractal]

Ah that makes sense, I'll try a combo of layouts, I'm just thinking about what would and wouldn't break with Player.gameObject.transform.forward = target.transform.forward * -0.3f

[languid spire]

that makes no sense

[thorny basalt]

As PraetorBlue said, the Unity JSONUtility does not support naked arrays. You can use another json deserializer like the Newsoft package

[echo ruin]

    private void Update()
    {
        playerDetected = Physics2D.OverlapBox(doorPos.position, new Vector2(width, height), 0, whatIsPlayer);

        if (playerDetected == true)
        {
            Debug.Log("Space Passed.");
            if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.Space))
            {
                Debug.Log("Key pressed.");
                GameObject player = GameObject.Find("Poppy");
if (player != null)
                {
                    Transform player_transform = player.GetComponent<Transform>();
    if (player_transform != null)
                    {

                        animator.Play("SceneFadeStart");
                        StartCoroutine(Wait());
                        player_transform.position = new Vector3(3.5f, 26, 3);
                        
                        
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }

    IEnumerator Wait()
    {
        yield return new WaitForSeconds(1f);
    }```
I'm trying to make a screen fade before the player moves location. However, the player moves instantly just as the fade start. I can't seem to get the Wait() method to work. What am I doing wrong?

[quick fractal]

Would you like to elaborate or just tell me it makes no sense? You did the exact same thing bar * -0.3f 🫠

[steep rose]

you need to put your player teleportation in the IEnumerator

[languid spire]

forward is a direction vector so multiplying it by anything only changes the magnitude not the direction it represents

[halcyon geyser]

youre calling the wait and ur player position at the same time

[thorny basalt]

Put the line after wait inside the wait function after yield

[brave compass]

You're misunderstanding what transform.forward is representing there. It's a normalized direction. Multiplying it by -0.3f will make it point in the opposite direction and scale it down to 0.3. transform.forward will just normalize it anyway, it doesn't care what the length of it is.

[echo ruin]

I will try that. Thanks for the help!

[thorny basalt]

Coroutines don’t work like wait functions in threads.

[brave compass]

The suggestion is to make the Player's forward direction match that of the target's. This is effectively the same as setting the rotation, except it will only ensure the Z (forward) axis matches, and then try to make the Y (up) axis point up as close as possible without changing the forward direction.

[quick fractal]

So, just to humor myself, would a mix of something like this work?

Player.gameObject.transform.forward = target.transform.forward;
Player.gameObject.transform.position = target.transform.position + target.transform.forward * -0.3f;```

That seems like it would provide the best of both sides together

If that's hugely wrong I promise I'm not intentionally ignoring/disregarding any info, vectors just confuse me 😄

[brave compass]

I don't think it will fix your problem, because there's fundamentally nothing wrong with setting transform.rotation to match another transform's rotation. If it's not giving you the rotation you expect, then that means one of the axes do not match what you expect.

[brave compass]

This is the correct way to implement that suggestion, yes.

Is target an empty transform? Are you placing it manually in the editor and rotating it, using just the transform arrows as reference?

[safe sphinx]

Hi I’m thinking on taking a course or trying to learn c# dose anybody have any suggestions

[quick fractal]

target is the closest enemy relative to the Players transform, I'm using the arrows as a reference since forwards is always the direction enemies face

That shouldn't be able to change, which is why I'm really curious why it's giving me a weird behaviour

[cosmic dagger]

read/learn from a website or online videos from youtube before paying/taking a course . . .

[safe sphinx]

Ok thanks

[brave compass]

There's nothing wrong with the math, so it has to be the rotations you are working with. Can you show exactly how the rotations are wrong, with your original implementation of setting transform.rotation?

If you look at both transforms in the scene view after the teleport, with Local handle rotation set, are you seeing the transform's arrows not matching?

[queen adder]

what is the savesystem used by the cinemachine called? The one that retains changes from runtime

[thorny basalt]

I didn’t know cinemachine had a save system but it is likely player prefs

[cosmic dagger]

nah, they're talking about how cinemachine has a toggle to keep/persists your changes after play mode exits . . .

[thorny basalt]

Oh

[cosmic dagger]

i was just looking at it, but now i'm completely blanking . . .

[thorny basalt]

Then no, that isn’t player prefs lol

[cosmic dagger]

use the [SaveDuringPlay] attribute on your classes, and the [NoSaveDuringPlay] attribute on fields to exclude them . . .

[zenith cypress]

ah neat https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.cinemachine@3.1/api/Unity.Cinemachine.Editor.SaveDuringPlay.html

[cosmic dagger]

yeah, it's pretty dope . . .

[final pelican]

I don't get why my player won't move in any direction. It was working before, I didn't touch the code but when I go back to it, the player won't move again.

[rich adder]

okay well not much we can do from that statement alone

at minimum show code, also screenshot console window clearly visible during playmode

[fluid kiln]

hi guys! working on a dialogue manager script and i was thinking, should i force code every "peculiar dialogue" in the game? as each dialogue will be weird in its won way, some having camera movements, screen fades and such.

[final pelican]

https://gdl.space/ahejaxumej.cs
https://gdl.space/uriqenevip.cs
https://gdl.space/awocoroxuh.cs

[rich adder]

what is " every "peculiar dialogue" i"

[rich adder]

this screenshot in playmode when you cannot move?

[final pelican]

Right

[rich adder]

Im not seeing any debug logs in your scripts, that should be your first step

find out which script is running and which one isn't, debug some values like bools you have or any input floats

[final pelican]

It's in the PlayerMovement script. It's not picking up if the player is moving or not or displaying their destination

[rich adder]

where did you put log? also did you check MoveRoutine ?

[final pelican]

I haven't used a debug log. I was checking when running the game when I tried moving that the isMoving wasn't checked and that destinationPos doesn't pick up the player's location when changed. What about the MoveRoutine?

[rich adder]

wdym what about MoveRoutine.
Check if its hitting it at all

start using logs

[final pelican]

It isn't

[rich adder]

well that explains why its not moving then, find out why the corouttine isn't calling

[fluid kiln]

dialogues where the camera moves in a certain way, where it loads a diffrent scene to show it, where the screen fades or shakes (its a 2d game)

[final pelican]

What should I put in the Debug log in the Coroutine?

[rich adder]

well first put the log before StartCoroutine, then put it inside coroutine when it starts and then another at the end

[final pelican]

Ok

[rich adder]

I would look into using something like Timeline

[fluid kiln]

what's the advantage of timelines vs hardscripting everything with timers?

[spiral oak]

ofc clarity and order, a messy project wont go anywhere

[fluid kiln]

tysm

[flat gale]

I have an object that whenever I start the scene my objects moves from where Inset the transform but I have no code or anything moving it, is there a way to fix this?

[spiral oak]

prob external code is moving it, else it wouldnt make any sense

[strong mica]

Guys I need some help, I'm working on a timer UI and here is the code I wrote for the UI.

The code is fine but the UI is shaking when the millisecond updating

[rocky canyon]

should format it to only show soo many decimals..

and when those are 0, fill em in with 00

22.00
22.01
22.11 etc

and using a monospaced font helps

[short hazel]

They're doing it with the string.Format. So yep it's probably the non-monospace font

[rocky canyon]

yup, cant beat a good monospaced font where everything stays in line

[strong mica]

Any hint to limit the decimals to ms?

like make it starts from 00 instead 0

[short hazel]

There are no decimals, milliseconds is an int

And it will already use at least 2 characters due to the :00 format specifier

[rocky canyon]

if all thats true then the twitching probably is because for example 01 is shorter than 00 soo ur seeing a flicker.. use a monospaced font

[tender stag]

im trying to limit the speed of my player by adding an opposite force once he reaches the move speed

but it isnt working correctly

any better way of doing this?

maybe use drag

[strong mica]

Yea it works after I change the font. Thanks guys

[rocky canyon]

        rb.AddForce(transform.forward * forceAmount, ForceMode.Impulse);

        //speed limiter
        if (rb.velocity.magnitude > maxSpeed)
        {
            rb.velocity = rb.velocity.normalized * maxSpeed;
        }```

[tender stag]

i cant set the velocity

i need it to be fully physics controlled

i cant directly manipulate the velocity

[rocky canyon]

ohh <insert more math then>

   void ApplyForceWithLimiter()
    {
        float currentSpeed = rb.velocity.magnitude;
        if (currentSpeed < maxSpeed)
        {
            float speedDifference = maxSpeed - currentSpeed;
            float adjustedForce = forceAmount * (speedDifference / maxSpeed);

            rb.AddForce(transform.forward * adjustedForce, ForceMode.Impulse);
        }
    }``` something like this then perhaps

[tender stag]

i need to limit speed but also allow force being added, so i want to suddenly add a lot of force to push player to the side

then the speed limit wouldnt stop that force

my code above wouldn't stop any force just scale it the closer to the max speed the objects moving..
soo forces would work as normal unless ur already at or close tomaxSpeed

[final pelican]

The Debugs aren't picking up anything for some reason

[tender stag]

cutting the input away at max speed would work but at the same time its a bad way

[wintry quarry]

Sounds like you want exactly what the speed limits feature of BetterPhysics does:

https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/physics/betterphysics-244370

[tender stag]

any way to do it without spending $20

[rich adder]

sounds like the coroutine is not running

[tender stag]

in my ApplyMovement i want to have an acceleration variable which is just how fast the player will build up speed

and in my CounterMovement i need to somehow limit the velocity to moveSpeed

whilst still allowing other forces to act on my player letting him to go beyond moveSpeed

as it was on the video u sent

[lunar kelp]

why cant i rename these materials?

[short hazel]

Not a code question! If these are under an imported 3D model, they are bound to the model and cannot be renamed

[lunar kelp]

oh ok

[rocky canyon]

https://paste.myst.rs/pirsidze something like this should work

• first deal w/ movement directly from input
• predict/project if the rigidbody will exceed speedLimit
• scale if it does (so movement wont exceed it)
• now anything else we can exceed that limit (only applies to input movement)

[shell sorrel]

can rename in the 3d package you export the model from

Hey, I'm trying to get a tree to spawn after i place down a sapling. for some reason. it always spawns so close to the mindelay. Even if i set the max to 100 and the min to 1. it'll always spawn around 1-1.5 seconds

https://hatebin.com/ujorzfputs

[wintry quarry]

Did you change the delays in the inspector?

You need to change it in the inspector, changing it in the code won't do anything once it's serialized on your script.

wait also - you're starting the coroutine every single frame 😱

so basically what's happening here is every frame you're starting a random delay and then whichever one finishes first will succeed

and then the script is destroyed.

You should only start the coroutine once. For example do it in Start, or do it in response to something happening in the game.

Update runs every single frame.

[silent valley]

you are absolutely right. fml. Give me a sec

it works. just need to edit my code slightly to work with my system. Thank you

[bold swallow]

switch (true)
        {
            case (popualtion > 0 && popualtion < 20000):
                sr.color = colors[0];
                break;
            case popualtion < 50000:
                sr.color = colors[1];
                break;
            default:
                sr.color = colors[0];
                break;
        }

Is this not possible in C#?. I am getting an error "error CS0150: A constant value is expected"

on the lines with the "case"

[wintry quarry]

You want this perhaps?

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/fundamentals/functional/pattern-matching#relational-patterns

[bold swallow]

looks weird but I think it should work, thanks!

[weak cedar]

which one would allocate more memory - a int[2] or a class with 2 ints

[wintry quarry]

The array I would guess. Pretty sure C# arrays store a separate length field internally.

[short hazel]

Prefer a struct with two ints if you want no allocations

[thorny basalt]

The memory allocation different is so minimal that you might as well do whatever is the most convenient

[wintry quarry]

which is almost certainly a class or a struct over an array, if the two numbers have different significances

[autumn granite]

can someone help me with what this means? i just followed a tutorial to do this, it was working perfectly the other day but i came back to check it again and now im getting this error

[eternal needle]

Did you read the last sentence of that message, and checked to see if that was the error?

[slender nymph]

https://unity.huh.how/script-loading-issues

[autumn granite]

thanks!

[slender nymph]

i also hope you realize that this guide just takes you through exactly what that last sentence of the error message is

nobody is "treating you like an idiot". but when you fail to read what is literally on your screen, it will be pointed out that the answer is literally on your screen

[eternal needle]

The regret must've kicked in fast for them after typing that.

[frank flare]

What's actually wrong with it? I tried messing a lot with that problem and there's literally 0 fix. I want the wheelchair face to be rotated to player but it does weird stuff instead of rotating exactly like LookAt (which works but I don't need that solution because it noclips)

Quaternion wantedRotation = Quaternion.LookRotation((Player.position - transform.position).normalized); // * 6f;
        Quaternion deltaRotation = Quaternion.FromToRotation(wantedRotation.eulerAngles, Player.position);
        Debug.Log(deltaRotation.eulerAngles);
        GetComponent<Rigidbody>().angularVelocity = deltaRotation.eulerAngles;

I have no clue what is quaterion and how it translates and no clue how to fix that problem and debug it

I tried tons of different solutions

[daring depot]

So what programming languages does unity support?

[frank flare]

you make scripts on it in C#

[daring depot]

😡

[slender nymph]

there are beginner courses to learn c# in the pins if you want to get started learning. otherwise, there's the infinitely inferior #763499475641172029 or you can use a different engine that supports your language of choice

[daring depot]

no visual scripting

i will have to learn c#

unreal engine doesn't support many languages either

nor does goDot

and the other engines aren't as powerful

[frank flare]

godot kinda does tho

[thorny basalt]

C# mainly, but a bit of javascript and python

[daring depot]

I need to expand my skill anyway because I can't cruise through life with lua and python

[thorny basalt]

Godot has community added support for a lot of langauges

[daring depot]

what languages?

[frank flare]

ton

[slender nymph]

unity has not supported javascript in like a decade (and it wasn't even """proper""" javascript). and python is only supported for editor stuff with the Python for Unity package

[daring depot]

C# is industry standard anyway

[thorny basalt]

GD script, C#, and C++. I know it has some for Rust. I don’t know others

[thorny basalt]

Though it had more with Js, but you are write for python

[daring depot]

so what's private and public in C#

[frank flare]

there are community added ones as well

[daring depot]

does unity have modules?

can I use modules that i can import/require

to organise my classes, utils, etc

[short hazel]

C# uses namespaces yes

[frank flare]

yes

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

[slender nymph]

again, there are beginner c# courses in the pins. start there

[daring depot]

so unity has a player instance

[frank flare]

they're gameobjects unlike in roblox

[daring depot]

ohh

so we construct our own game object

so we make our own player instance

ah i see this makes sense

roblox hands everything to us, unity doesn't this is cool

gives a lot more freedom

[daring depot]

for our data services, do we have to host our own third party cloud databases or does unity provide

[frank flare]

you host a server, this is no pet simulator

[daring depot]

😭

alright

[frank flare]

unity gameobject = roblox Instance

[eternal needle]

There are unity services for a lot of things, not talking about databases only here, but apparently they can be costly if you expect a large scale.

[daring depot]

yes, i know what a game object is

[daring depot]

yeah, they're costly

does unity provide databases

[frank flare]

no block fruit

[daring depot]

😭

[slender nymph]

it entirely depends on your needs. there are plenty of free services available for hosting data, firebase, unity's cloud save, etc. of course there are limits to many of their free tiers, but there are free tiers available for many of those services

[daring depot]

okay okay

[frank flare]

there's no free game:GetService("DataStore")

[daring depot]

brother

[short hazel]

Well there is, it's called your filesystem

[daring depot]

i can still host my own servers for roblox games
