[rich adder]

everything that was in Logic script

goes in there

[deft grail]

did you add the attribute? [CreateAssetMenu]

[queen adder]

yes

[deft grail]

ok save the script, go to your assets folder

[deft grail]

right click

at the top there will be a button to create a SO

[rich adder]

actually one exception , dont store anything that changes in SO

always make a copy from the default in SO and modify that

[queen adder]

o dpmt see ot

oops-

i dont see it

[deft grail]

should be the top button

does a list of buttons popup? maybe your right clicking wrong area

[queen adder]

thats a my class

[deft grail]

can you screenshot

makes it easier to see what im looking at

because maybe your just in some random place also, which can be confusing

[rich adder]

try creating it with the menu properly labeled
[CreateAssetMenu(fileName ="WeaponSO", menuName ="Weapons/WeaponSO")]

[queen adder]

right click create

cant screenshot

[deft grail]

yes, then there should be a button for SO (if you named your script that)

[deft grail]

yeah you can do this, but its not a requirement @queen adder

[queen adder]

not there

hold on

i get the issue

my script didnt save the name inside the actual script

but did on the outside

[rich adder]

also make sure you dont have compile errors

[queen adder]

yeah did it

[deft grail]

ok so can you see the SO now?

[queen adder]

yeah

[deft grail]

ok create it

name it anything, M4A1 or whatever you want

change the values of the variables

[queen adder]

uh why

[deft grail]

so you can store your gun data?

[queen adder]

since theyre from the logic script that ive been using theyre perfect as is

[deft grail]

huh

[queen adder]

you mean this?

[deft grail]

yeah

[queen adder]

why would i change them-

[deft grail]

wait

no

dont change the values on your script, but on the new SO you created (should be blue in the assets folder)

[rich adder]

you make one for each weapon

[queen adder]

is it like

when i change a value

i get a new one

or do i duplicate them

[rich adder]

on side note - these should probably be in a struct that you can copy btw if you plan on modifying any of the values at runtime
(changing 1 so changes all the SOs of that instance)
if you have pistol that changes then if you get another Pistol it has the same stats

[queen adder]

iiiiiiii have no idea what youre talking about

itll be fine

[short hazel]

I suggest you head to !learn first, you seem to lack the knowledge on how all of this works

[deft grail]

yeah just dont worry about it for now

[queen adder]

man fuuuuck thaaaaat i hate mindlessly watching tutorials

this is how i like to learn

[rich adder]

for example ammo should probably not be in SO only maxAmmo
so you can store ammo inside weapon.cs instance itself
Start()
currentAmmo = weaponSO.maxAmmo

[frosty hound]

@queen adder Make a thread, and do so in the future if you're spending more than 5 minutes on a question.

You're excuse that you need someone to explain things to you in order to learn is not going to fly here.

But since you're insisting, use a thread so you're not flooding this channel yet again.

[queen adder]

i never said that nor used it as an excuse but yeah i will

[devout onyx]

Hi guys, I am learning C# for Unity. Do you guys have resources like YT clips about things such as code efficiently, function to be aware of, handle events,..? Thank you very much 😆

[lethal elbow]

I tried doing this but no luck 😦

transform.forward = Vector3.Lerp(transform.forward, Arrow.GetComponent<Rigidbody>().velocity.normalized, Time.deltaTime);

[eternal needle]

That use of lerp is wrong, though I'd just use this https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Vector3.RotateTowards.html
Also cache that GetComponent call

[lethal elbow]

GameObject Arrow = Instantiate(projectile, transform.position, transform.rotation);
            Arrow.GetComponent<Rigidbody>().AddForce(Arrow.transform.forward * launchVelocity, ForceMode.Force);
            Arrow.GetComponent<Rigidbody>().AddTorque(Arrow.transform.forward * torquex * torquey, ForceMode.Force);

So for this example I would do it for transform.rotation?
transform,rotation = Vector3.RotateTowards(~~~);

[deft grail]

Instantiate a Rigidbody instead of a GameObject to avoid GetComponent

[livid ravine]

maybe little dumb question - i realized i really need to backup my game project, i have account on Github. do i need to do a new project and import things there or i can commit already existing project to new repository ?

[lethal elbow]

I think I tried that but the thing it's instantiating doesn't have a rigidbody and it was looking for that for some reason

[deft grail]

it does have a Rigidbody

otherwise your GetComponent will fail

[deft grail]

look up a video on Youtube

[livid ravine]

the one i checked he only showed with new created project

that's where my questions comes from basically

[wintry quarry]

You can commit your existing project to a new repository

https://docs.github.com/en/migrations/importing-source-code/using-the-command-line-to-import-source-code/adding-locally-hosted-code-to-github

Just make sure you add an appropriate .gitignore file first

Such as https://github.com/github/gitignore/blob/main/Unity.gitignore

[lethal elbow]

Weird problem but the rigidbody has a gameobject before editor start but it disappears on start

Before editor start

After

[eternal needle]

Yes, and again at least cache that rigidbody or instantiate it from the rigidbody instead of the type GameObject.
Also this makes it look like the code is only running once. This is something you'll have to do in update or fixed update

The rotation part* would have to be in update or fixedupdate

[lethal elbow]

Rigidbody Arrow = Instantiate(projectile, transform.position, transform.rotation);
            Arrow.GetComponent<Rigidbody>().AddForce(transform.forward * launchVelocity, ForceMode.Force);
            Arrow.GetComponent<Rigidbody>().AddTorque(transform.forward * torquex * torquey, ForceMode.Force);

It's a rigidbody now

I put it in a function that is called by update()

[eternal needle]

If it's a rigidbody now, then you dont need to GetComponent rigidbody still..

[lethal elbow]

That's a good point

Okay i've sorted that part :p

[eternal needle]

Also I have no idea where that torquex or torquey came from. Is this from AI or some tutorial, because this is quite questionable.
If you want it to just rotate towards where its moving, take the original code you had with lerp and just change that to MoveTowards as I suggested way above

[lethal elbow]

The torque was something I was experimenting with, it actually makes the arrow roll so I kept it 🙂

[livid ravine]

thank you

[eternal needle]

Oops I meant RotateTowards but still that torque does look questionable. Im assuming those numbers are both floats, so this isnt like an X or Y axis, it's just multiplying the forward twice

[lethal elbow]

It was also some experimentation but I realized it doesn't do anything more when changing the values

The torque does shake the fletching a bit recklessly though

I'l do the rotatetowards part now though

[lethal elbow]

I can't just substitute it in for transform.forward, looks like I have to make a variable with it

Which is weird because in the documentation they did

Vector3 newDirection = Vector3.RotateTowards(transform.forward, targetDirection, singleStep, 0.0f);

and i'm not able to do that

[wintry quarry]

what's stopping you

[lethal elbow]

No idea

[wintry quarry]

Are you using the correct Vector3 class?

Are you sure you didn't do using System.Numerics; or something?

Or perhaps made your own Vector3 class

[lethal elbow]

Both Vector3 classes come up with numerics

[wintry quarry]

Yeah because you did what I mentioned

[rigid pike]

so confused. I was able to use vector2 throughout the other State scripts but not this one

[wintry quarry]

Delete using System.Numerics; from your code @lethal elbow

[wintry quarry]

You need using UnityEngine;

When it says "Are you missing a using directive" that's what it's talking about

[rigid pike]

wow what are the chances some1 needs to delete that and someone needs to add that

[wintry quarry]

very high

[rigid pike]

the cleanup code must have deleted that, thanks

[wintry quarry]

because beginners stumble over namespace stuff constantly

[rigid pike]

true

[lethal elbow]

I see the issue now

using Vector3 = System.Numerics.Vector3;

[wintry quarry]

indeed

delete that

[lethal elbow]

Deleted 🙂

[weak cedar]

Does System.Numerics have a Vector2 struct?

[wintry quarry]

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.numerics?view=net-8.0#structs

appears so

[weak cedar]

Ok just read the whole convo

[weak cedar]

I was confused with this

[lethal elbow]

   float singleStep = angularSpeed * Time.deltaTime;
            
            Rigidbody Arrow = Instantiate(projectile, transform.position, transform.rotation);
            transform.forward = Vector3.RotateTowards(Arrow.transform.forward, Arrow.velocity.normalized, singleStep, 0.0f);
            Arrow.AddForce(transform.forward * launchVelocity, ForceMode.Force);
            Arrow.AddTorque(transform.forward * torque, ForceMode.Force);
            

No rotation so far 😦

[wintry quarry]

You would need to be doing this in Update or FixedUpdate on the arrow itself

it's not something you do when you spawn it

[lethal elbow]

Ah, so a new script

[rich adder]

Arrow.cs

[lethal elbow]

Excuse the no formatting but something just like this?

[rich adder]

 public class Arrow : MonoBehaviour
 {
     [SerializeField] Rigidbody rb;
     bool launched = false;
     public void Launch()
     {
         launched = true;
     }
     private void FixedUpdate()
     {
         if (!launched) return;
         float singleStep = angularSpeed * Time.deltaTime;
         transform.forward = Vector3.RotateTowards(rb.transform.forward, rb.velocity.normalized, singleStep, 0.0f);
         rb.AddForce(transform.forward * launchVelocity, ForceMode.Force);
         rb.AddTorque(transform.forward * torque, ForceMode.Force);
     }
 }```
```cs
   void Launch()
   {

       Arrow arrow = Instantiate(projectile, transform.position, transform.rotation);
       arrow.Launch();

   }``` IG

[lethal elbow]

I'l use your one because what I did gave my arrow the funkiest curve to it :p

[eternal needle]

Just saying I did mention this above as well, to put the rotation part in update or fixedupdate at least. #💻┃code-beginner message
But yes some script should be on your arrow controlling its rotation
And you shouldnt be using AddTorque if you wanna just directly set its rotation. Or use AddTorque (look at the docs for the values to use) and dont set the rotation

Choose one or the other

[rich adder]

I just copied yours and shown example where to put it 😛

[lethal elbow]

The rotation part was in a function that was called by update

[rigid pike]

idk its fixed now anyway

[lethal elbow]

I'm not sure what's going on with the launch function but Arrow isn't a class right?

[rich adder]

yess public class Arrow :

thats literally a class

Launch is probably not needed but just an example to tell your bullet to star doing something after spawning it.. totally uneccessary if its already in fixedupdate tho

its good to see examples of how you can call methods like that though

[lethal elbow]

The arrow is doing a weird curve but it's late so il return tomorrow, thanks for the help so far. I'l leave you all with a video of it

[lofty sequoia]

Is there a way to drag into an EditorWindow script a .cs file?

[rich adder]

TextAsset maybe ?

cs files as just text files no?

[short hazel]

MonoScript should be the type, if I remember correctly

[rich adder]

interesting.. TIL

inherits from TextAsset, very nicee

ig both work, Mono better if you need specific functions n stuff relating to Mono scripts

neat

[short hazel]

(this is why you see "MonoScript" when you incorrectly try to reference a script instance on a UnityEvent - it's literally the type Unity uses to represent script files)

[rich adder]

oh yeah lol that makes sense i recall you can only rename or something

[marble hemlock]

does anyone have a suggested tutorial for learning to do inventory systems?

im not sure how making inventories usually goes

[queen adder]

id assume arrays are a big part of it so learn about those

i love giving advice id never use myself

[rich adder]

but yes the most basic inventory would indeed use an array or list..then you can do more complex ones like dictionaries

[teal viper]

Design it on paper first: how exactly do you want it to work from the user perspective?
Then break it down into smaller tasks and move on to implementing/researching each one.

That's the universal solution for any mechanic btw.

[marble hemlock]

i feel like i gotta yank a chunk out of my code because i originally designed it where you just picked up one item at a time

but now its not being simply picked up and held, but to my memory the object would be getting destroyed and its data stored

i guess i can keep most of the functions attached, but just would need to delete any place where its actually used

just gotta add that to a new script yipee

[teal viper]

Yanking a chunk of code is normal. Though, maybe keep it as an obsolete code. You might need to reference it later.

[marble hemlock]

soon it will get to be reused 🙏

[marble hemlock]

i cant work on this today. i was so excited because i had finished and mostly fixed the pick up and dropping scripts, and how to get items working when you have them equipped, except for a slight problem with clipping objects, and I've just been working on this without a tutorial, and I fixed one of my bugs.

but now the mood is just ruined knowing that i worked on something that cant really be put to use for quite some time until i get the inventory situation handled

[amber spruce]

hey so i was reading something about doubles and i was wondering should i be using doubles instead of floats?

[timber tide]

do you have a reason to use doubles

[amber spruce]

not really but the thing i read said the only difference is doubles can hold 2 times the size floats can

[timber tide]

well, unless you're doing stuff like clicker games, there's very little reason for them as you can't even use them with the majority of Unity's API calls

[amber spruce]

ok

[timber tide]

there isn't a Vector3Double class

[polar acorn]

And that they, by definition, take up twice the space

Is there really any noticeable difference between 0.0001999 and 0.0002? Do you have anything so precise that the difference between them is going to matter?

[bold iron]

Which template should I use for 2D games?

[deft grail]

either of them, universal just has better lighting than built in pipeline

[sullen perch]

hi, im having problems with this code, can anywone find a solution?

[deft grail]

whats the error

[bold iron]

K thanks

[sullen perch]

line 21

[deft grail]

i can see that, im asking WHAT the actual error is

screenshot the Unity console

[sullen perch]

im following a tutorial for some ai but the tutorial dosent have red lines

[deft grail]

im asking what the error is dude

just show the console in Unity or hover of the red line

[slender nymph]

since you passed a float as the parameter for Random.Range it is returning a float. you cannot assign a float to an int variable without casting which the error message says

[deft grail]

perhaps they have different variable type in the tutorial

[sullen perch]

this is a screenshot from the tutorial

[slender nymph]

doesn't look like they are using a configured editor

[sullen perch]

oh

[deft grail]

yeah

[slender nymph]

bad tutorial

[sullen perch]

ok

ok

thx

[deft grail]

doesnt have capital in class name either, probably not some great tutorial

[sullen perch]

do you have a better tutorial for a horror entity?

with nav mesh

[deft grail]

everyone will have different logic

just look up one for basic AI

[sullen perch]

ok

[deft grail]

and then try to adapt it for your needs

[sullen perch]

ok thx

[wintry quarry]

Your StopAllCoroutines(); call doesn't do anything

[eternal needle]

🤷‍♂️ does it do what you want? you probably dont need to call StopAllCoroutines(); but otherwise theres not much code to go off here

[vagrant harness]

How do I stop the coroutine then?

[wintry quarry]

you don't need to

it stops when all the code is done running

(like any other function)

Are you under the impression this is going to keep repeatedly spawning stuff?

if so, then yes you have indeed made a mistake

[vagrant harness]

Oh wait I need a While(true) lol

[wintry quarry]

and if you want to exit from the while loop you can use break;

[vagrant harness]

Thx!

[wintry quarry]

or you can directly exit out of the whole coroutine with yield break;

[vagrant harness]

I only recently figured out that I can actually learn C# without being annoying lol

Like when I tried learning it the first time I was so caught up on learning what IEnumerator meant exactly instead of just using it because I understood how to XD

[wintry quarry]

yeah - that's a common pitfall - trying to understand the meaning of every word you see

it's counterproductive

You can circle back later on when you have a better understanding

[vagrant harness]

(While I have been managing to learn C# pretty well recently, I'm not confident enough to rely on it lol- i'll keep using visual scripting for main game logic for now)

[astral falcon]

As long as you keep in mind the speed of visualscripting being behind raw c#, you are good to go with visual scripting.

[vagrant harness]

Um... Is this normal??

[astral falcon]

Yes, its telling you, that there is a random version from system and from unityengine scope.

[vagrant harness]

Why's this suddenly a problem?

[astral falcon]

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

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.random?view=net-8.0

[vagrant harness]

There we go :3

[astral falcon]

maybe you are "using" System inside your class and so unity does not know what to choose from

[languid spire]

because you have both using System and using UnityEngine in your code

[burnt vapor]

Considering using System; is grayed out in this screenshot, why not just remove that line? You're not using it anyway.

If you are using it, then this is the correct way to omit the exception.

[lunar kelp]

Guys whats Gizmo in Unity?

[languid spire]

not a code question and please do not cross post

[lunar kelp]

dont u use it in coding tho?

[languid spire]

you can do

[teal viper]

If you want to use it in coding, you should know what it is.

[lunar kelp]

thats why im asking

[teal viper]

Did you try googling or looking in the manual?

[lunar kelp]

i tried googling

[teal viper]

Point is, you're supposed to now about it before you even get to coding.

[lunar kelp]

but i got something sicentific

[teal viper]

What did you google?

And did you check in the manual?

[lunar kelp]

"What is Gizmo in Unity"

[languid spire]

so dificult

[teal viper]

So you checked these pages and still don't understand?

[lunar kelp]

yes

also why are u guys being aggresive i just asked a question

[teal viper]

We don't. We're just trying teach you how to solve issues.

[teal viper]

What part did you not understand then? The manual pretty much tells you "Gizmos are blablabla".

And even shows some screenshots with examples.

[lunar kelp]

what does it mean when it says setup aids in the scene view?

[lunar kelp]

also whats the difference when u type it with selected and one without it

[teal viper]

Quote the whole sentence.

[lunar kelp]

"Gizmos are used to give visual debugging or setup aids in the Scene view"

[teal viper]

Selected what?

[teal viper]

There's nothing technical about that sentence. It basically means that gizmos help you with setting up your scene/gameObjects/components.

[teal viper]

Selected would only show when the object is selected obviously.

[lunar kelp]

so it would update constantly without it being selected?

[teal viper]

Yes.

[lunar kelp]

oh great thanks

[glossy turtle]

how to get the i value which i initialized in g() method in interface?.

[lunar kelp]

i have range but its saying i dont, I dont get it

[languid spire]

try ((interfaceimpl)this).g();

[rough dust]

(Didn't know where else to ask, sorry)

[glossy turtle]

its giving this error steve.

[languid spire]

And have you tried adding the missing Attribute?

[long jacinth]

i dont see the blue thing on the ground

[cerulean tulip]

Whats the difference between rigidbody.addForce and .velocity?

Cause I've tried both and .velocity seems slower than ```cs
rbd.AddForce(new Vector3(horizontal, 0, vertical) * (Speed * 10) * Time.deltaTime, ForceMode.Impulse);

[glossy turtle]

like how?

[languid spire]

Seriously, you've never added an attribute to a class?

[glossy turtle]

i tried but no use.

[neon ivy]

isn't this supposed to rename the Element 0 in a list to the stat type? it's not working

[glossy turtle]

probably implementing a method is not supporting in interface.

[languid spire]

I think I might have mentioned that some time ago

[glossy turtle]

right.

[languid spire]

pretty sure Unity C# level does not support it

[long jacinth]

the ground isnt baking

[lunar kelp]

I'm not sure if I can explain this correctly but do you need Null in your coding when you already have Mathf.Infinity ?

[languid spire]

Don't know what you did wrong but this does, indeed, work
https://hatebin.com/nhyagkkwyl

[teal viper]

These are 2 completely different types and values.

[teal viper]

What does it return?

[teal viper]

See the warning at the bottom of the inspector? Read it. Then follow the link and read it.

[neon ivy]

1 issue I found and that was that it wasn't the first variable, but still I need to set the name myself instead of using the =>. I swear I remember using that before. maybe because it's in a scriptable object?

[teal viper]

It should return a string representing the name of the element. If it doesn't, then you're doing something wrong.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.enum.tostring?view=net-8.0&utm_source=perplexity

[willow scroll]

In Unity, List<T> doesn't call the class' default constructor. It uses reflection (supposedly) to assign every variable to its Type's default

[neon ivy]

[willow scroll]

This applies to non-static and non-readonly variables

[neon ivy]

I don't get it

[teal viper]

I don't see any lists in their code. I think they mistakenly called enum a list.

[neon ivy]

no I made a list of Stat classes

[willow scroll]

#💻┃code-beginner message

rename the Element 0 in a list

[neon ivy]

though I swear I've done it like that before and it worked, or I'm hallucinating

[willow scroll]

When creating a class, you call its constructor. Otherwise, doing this inside of the local method causes a warning on unassigned variable usage.
In Unity, creating a List via the inspector doesn't access any constructor of your class. Instead, the class will be created with all variables set to their Type's defaults, which is null for reference types as string and any other class and Vector2.zero for Vector2, 0f for float etc. That's why, if your class or struct is meant to be used inside of the serialized in the Unity's inspector List, assigning the variables doesn't change anything, unless they are static, readonly or const.
The same applies to arrays. Not sure whether they serialize some other Enumerables

[fresh marlin]

copy the playermovement class, delete the file, create a new file, paste / or delete the .meta file

[neon ivy]

so it just doesn't work I guess I'll settle for pressing a button then

[willow scroll]

To add to my previous response, only the 0th list element is created as default. The others are the copies of the previous one

[willow scroll]

What's also an option, you could make your script run in the editor and check for the list count changed in Update

[neon ivy]

it's a scriptable object

I think it has OnValidate?

[willow scroll]

It's not called when the list item is added

Neither is PropertyDrawer.OnGUI

[neon ivy]

I mostly just want it to update when I change variables

[willow scroll]

When should it be updated?

[neon ivy]

for instance if I change the stat requirement's stat to Dexterity

[willow scroll]

You can achieve this by creating a custom PropertyDrawer for your ScriptableObject

[neon ivy]

never worked with those

[willow scroll]

This will be tricky, since you'll have to completely override the List's serialization by getting its IEnumerator and serializing each variable separately, checking whether the suitable one is changed by wrapping it with EditorGUI.BeginChangeCheck

[neon ivy]

I think I'll leave it for another time then xD this is just a small project to prep for my exam

I'll add it to the list of things I wanna learn tho

[glossy turtle]

yes it worked. i didnt checked i was using abstract class.🙂 .and even with abstract class also it worked but i forgot to check that i removed the implementation of abstract class.🙂 .

[willow scroll]

Got it. Reply to this message if you happen to start it, since I already have the similar logic implemented in my extension class

[neon ivy]

[silk scroll]

I'm having an issue with the AgentLinkMover.cs where the agent can only cross the navmesh link once. If it tries to cross the link again, it freezes

I'm using the Curve option

I'm not sure why since I literally pasted the code straight from the NavMeshComponents repository

But the issue is with this script cause they can cross the link multiple times without it

[charred spoke]

Have you tried using breakpoints and the debugger to see what is going on.

[silk scroll]

From what I tried with debugging, it doesn't enter the if statements the second time round for some reason

[charred spoke]

Are your offmeshlinks bidirectional?

[silk scroll]

Yeah
I'm not trying to make the agent cross back and forth, it's a race kinda like Koopa The Quick

so if the player loses, they can retry the race

but retrying the race gets the agent stuck not crossing the link

[wintry quarry]

Is it because your code always goes from the current position towards data.endPos?

Should it go towards data.startPos when crossing back?

[silk scroll]

I don't think so since it's going from the start point to the end point every time.

[wintry quarry]

I see

[silk scroll]

After it runs the course, the agent is deactivated and set back to the beginning of the course

Then it's activated again but it can no longer cross links

[languid spire]

you know that code will only run again if you reload the scene

[silk scroll]

really?

[languid spire]

yes, it's in Start, Start only runs once

[silk scroll]

so I've gotta move it elsewhere then,

probably into Update
I've just not seen this issue before

[languid spire]

not into Update. Into a Coroutine you start from Start

[wintry quarry]

well

it's an infinite loop

it should keep running indefinitely

but yeah you should be Logging to see if it ever sees isOnOffMeshLink again

[fringe plover]

tf Visual Studio suggesting me to do 💀

[wintry quarry]

It's very possible that's legit if the User contains a complex hierarchy of objects

that being said, it's AI stuff

[neon ivy]

random question if you have a reference to a script on a gameobject that is disabled, can you update it's variables? I'm guessing not

[deft grail]

yes

[neon ivy]

it does?!

[deft grail]

the only thing that doesnt run is Update and stuff like that

because its disabled

the rest acts the same

[neon ivy]

[wintry quarry]

why not

[neon ivy]

idk, I just imagined if the gameobject was disabled that u wouldn't be able to do stuff inside of it

[wintry quarry]

You imagined wrong I guess

Also the GameObject cannot be disabled

Scripts can be disabled. The GameObject can be deactivated

[neon ivy]

ah right, mb

[languid spire]

you know if you spent more time researching and less guessing and assuming you might learn something

[neon ivy]

well yea that's why I asked the question

[languid spire]

try reading the docs first

[silk scroll]

Still having the issue after moving it into its own Coroutine,

[wintry quarry]

yeah that wouldn't have made a difference

[silk scroll]

I think deactivating the GameObject is stopping the Coroutine actually i might need to move it

to like OnEnable

[wintry quarry]

yes if you're deactivating the object it will stop the coroutine

[silk scroll]

duhh thats obvious in hindsight

alright thats what it is

makes so much sense now

starting the coroutine in OnEnable should finally fix this

[languid spire]

don't forget to stop the coroutine in OnDisable

[silk scroll]

Alright,

[charred spoke]

I still can’t believe Unity actually shipped this junk code in a real repo 🤣

[silk scroll]

Well assuming you don't disable the gameobject like I am, it works

[charred spoke]

Working code does not mean it is not junk

[silk scroll]

True

[charred spoke]

The whole concept of doing this in an infinite loop inside a coroutine is just bonkers

[heavy knoll]

Anyone know how i can implement the spring damper code here to be used for anything, like camera shake or gun recoil or a camera fov zoom? https://x.com/wilnyl/status/1201516498445058048

wilhelm nylund (@wilnyl) on X

@haanssksum Thank you!
I dont think so.
The code is basically:

Velocity += (targetPos - currentPos) * spring;
Velocity -= drag * velocity;
CurrentPos += Velocity

ooh, im not really sure how to format it the right way just found this on X about an example with springs, and have no idea how to actually implement that

[deft grail]

then just show that code properly

i and probably others dont want to go on X to look up code you want to implement...

[heavy knoll]

ok, this is all that it is i think just copied it as it is and put it in here, https://gdl.space/vaxurowego.makefile

[deft grail]

this wouldnt really give you gun recoil or camera fov zoom

[exotic prism]

I use box collider with animation keys(enable colliders for exact times) for sword attack in 3d game. Unity sword attack collider not working with increased animation speed. What is the best way to do sword attack detection for high speed animations. Any help would be nice.

[heavy knoll]

yea, thats why im asking about how to turn this to be utilized for that, in the post he shows an example of a spring damper and then says in the replies, that this was basically the code used for it

[deft grail]

dont use this, just follow a tutorial on youtube.
the main way it works would just be lerp from current position to a default position which you can add to it

[heavy knoll]

if i were to use it just for camera shake which is how it was shown in that example, would i just need to use one c# script for it without adding any others components?

[deft grail]

i guess you wouldnt, but im not sure

[glossy turtle]

write a code to decrease animation speed when collided.

[short hazel]

They cannot detect a collision in the first place, so that wouldn't work. It would also look weird.

[eternal needle]

First choice would be a physics query if you can, if it matches the movement of the sword. But you might need to either do a few checks or some overlap sphere and see if the enemy is within a certain angle

[astral falcon]

Did you also play around with the rigidbody values for collisiondetectionmode. Maybe speculative might already improve things?

Also consider to increase the timestep value if you need faster collision detection

[exotic prism]

i now that but my enemy object just using navmash agent. not using rb component.

[astral falcon]

But the collision of your sword is not related to navmesh agent, or is it?

[exotic prism]

i have 3 animation for sword so i need to 3 different collider right. I read about that method and it makes sence to me

[exotic prism]

The collider is located on the agent child object.

and this is the enemy

[languid spire]

It might help if the collider was enabled

[astral falcon]

And how do you check the collision again?

[astral falcon]

I guess its just disabled for this animation clip

[eternal needle]

Usually you dont need exact hit detection along with the sword, just having a general hit area should be fine using basic physics queries.

[exotic prism]

when attack animation is started collider will enable

[exotic prism]

yes

[exotic prism]

i have 3 different attack animation like combo attacs

[astral falcon]

Just to be clear, you have to use the physics system to get correct collisions for those colliders. It has nothing to do with navmesh agent doing its own "collsion" checks for the navigation

[exotic prism]

thats why i avoid that method but i think have to do it that way

[astral falcon]

And also one of both needs a rigidbody attached to actually get the collision events to be fired

[exotic prism]

continues detection is expensive i suppose

i am making this game for mobile

[astral falcon]

You can always switch the mode when you attack for the time of animating. But if you want super fast detection, you need to use that. If you can work around it with your own predictive box or sphere overlap checks, because you dont need like arcade fighter game like collision checks, try to work that way

[exotic prism]

in my case i have lots of enemys but as u say enemys dont have multiple colliders for head damage or something

[astral falcon]

yeah, just go from animated colliders and collison checks to distance checks and when animating use like a fixed attack rate that gets triggered as you like and checks if the player or whoever is in front of the enemy.

[exotic prism]

"The easiest way, start timer after executing hit and then check if target is in range. You don’t need really fast collision detection. You could also use raycast, when executing hit." i saw that on forums. What do you think about that

[astral falcon]

You could also twist it around and let only the player (if thats the case) check for enemys around him, if yes, they get "enabled" and can attack with that timer or whatever you wanna use to have the attack rate going. Really depends on the style of your game as well as the feeling of it

[eternal needle]

This ignores 1 thing, your problem was actually detecting the target. The raycast just ensures you arent doing this through a wall

A lot of this also depends what you want a hit to actually be. In some games, your sword goes straight from right to left in 2 frames. In some games (example: souls like games) its much slower

In the fast cases you could just detect the whole area infront of the player

[exotic prism]

same problem with collider gonna happen to raycast right

[eternal needle]

No but that raycast was likely a suggestion to make sure the target is visible. I hope at least
Not to actually get the target

Because a raycast will get 1 target in a straight line. You want something probably to get all enemies in front of you

[exotic prism]

yeah

[astral falcon]

Maybe you need a multiple step check. First check the distance with a static vector for the player position against enemy. then, if in range, do a raycast to check if visible, if yes, do your box collision check or whatever to actually hit the player. But best would be you writing down yoru mechanics and then what systems could help you achieve those states you got in your mechanics. Find common routes and try to sum it up to reduce calls for physics and what not.

Maybe you can share a little bit more information about what the enemies are doing, can do. Who will they attack, only the player? and so on. Thats important to get a proper solution

[exotic prism]

i can share quick gameplay in dm

is that okey for u

@eternal needle https://youtu.be/j2OCes42qvg?t=1476
You suggested me to do a method similar to the one here, right?

@eternal needle okey thank you for answering me while u are busy

its help a lot

I've solved the issue regarding this, The torque I added was adding the weird gliding effect so I just removed it for now.

[rocky canyon]

XML is indeed my favorite as well

[steep rose]

very useful

[cobalt dagger]

The code GeometryUtility.CalculateFrustumPlanes(cam) gives me an error of Object reference not set to an instance of an object any help would be appriciated

[wintry quarry]

Show the full stack trace of your error

[steep rose]

it is saying your camera doesnt exist

[wintry quarry]

but it's likely that cam is null

[steep rose]

and is not referenced

[vagrant harness]

Why does it need to be so hard to multiply two Vector3s ):

[rich adder]

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Vector3.Scale.html

[wintry quarry]

There are at least three different ways to multiply them

[short hazel]

Because there's multiple ways of solving that. Would it multiply each corresponding component (X * X, Y * Y, Z * Z), or all of them one by one like a matrix multiplication (X* X, X* Y, X * Z, Y * X, ...)?

[wintry quarry]

it's easy to do so

you just have to pick which kind of multiplication you want

[vagrant harness]

I don't get why you can't just (Vec3Var * Vec3Var2)- they really couldn't code that in?

[eternal needle]

Because it doesnt make sense. That's not a thing in the math world

And as they said above, it could mean multiple things

Some may even consider that the cross product in the math world

[polar acorn]

Which kind of multiplication are you looking for?

[wintry quarry]

They could certainly do it. But it would be ambigious and unclear what kind of multiplication that would be. And if they picked one type of multiplication there would be people up in arms that a different type wasn't chosen.

[vagrant harness]

It makes sense to me- you just multiply each number with its counterpart, like how you have to do it in the actual scripting: (Vec3Var.x * Vec3Var2.x, Vec3Var.y * Vec3Var2.y, Vec3Var.z * Vec3Var2.z)

[wintry quarry]

ok but that's like, the least common way that vectors are multiplied

[vagrant harness]

I use it all the time /:

[polar acorn]

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

[wintry quarry]

Dot product and cross product are insanely common

much more so than the hadamard product

[frosty hound]

Can always make an Extension method so you don't have to do it manually

[wintry quarry]

You don't have to - just use Vector3.Scale(Vec3Var, Vec3Var2)

(As navarone pointed out above)

[brave compass]

HLSL implements the * operator as per-component multiplication. It makes sense to me in that context, but I suppose it's more common in shaders than in scripts.

[wintry quarry]

Look none of us work for Unity, they could certainly have chosen to do it. They didn't. We're just provided post-hoc guesses and reasonings about why

[vagrant harness]

Unrelated to the above conversation- does a C# counterpart to this exist?
(val1 if bool else val2)

[wintry quarry]

myBool ? val1 : val2```

[polar acorn]

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/language-reference/operators/conditional-operator

[wintry quarry]

you're clearly a Python person

[vagrant harness]

Yeah lol

[brave compass]

Unity Mathematics' float3 implements component-wise multiplication operator like HLSL. Maybe you can use that in place of Vector3, even if only in certain scopes and converting between them when necessary.

[wintry quarry]

well not really, it uses the mul function

so you'd write mul(vec1, vec2)

which is equivalent to Vector3.Scale(vec1, vec2)

[vagrant harness]

Learning Python in computer class surprisingly enough has really helped with learning C#- I didn't know how to properly learn a coding language before then lol

[wintry quarry]

Learning ANY programming language makes learning others 100X easier

[brave compass]

I thought so too, but I found this.
https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.mathematics@1.3/api/Unity.Mathematics.float3.op_Multiply.html#Unity_Mathematics_float3_op_Multiply_Unity_Mathematics_float3_Unity_Mathematics_float3_

[wintry quarry]

hmm - so it does

[vagrant harness]

Well, except for Visual Scripting, which is why the above conversation exists.

[wintry quarry]

nah, even visual scripting

the concepts are the same

just a different presentation

the whole idea of data flowing from one place to another and being manipulated, it's always the same.

[vagrant harness]

(In Visual Scripting, Vec3 * Vec32 = Vector3.scale(Vec3, Vec32))

Plus the way I learned Visual Scripting was by looking through the menus and you can't just do that with other programming languages lol

Anyway enough talk about VS let's change the topic before anyone gets mad

[vagrant harness]

Does this look good?

 while (Vector3.Distance(transform.position, IsTransform ? destination.position : destinationv3) > 0.1f)

[eternal needle]

Ternary expressions often arent fun to read in expressions like that

[languid spire]

no, you are evaluating something multiple times which doesn't need to be

[wintry quarry]

depends what you mean by "good"

It looks syntactically correct.

[vagrant harness]

What am I reevaluating too many times? Each comparison is comparing different things

[wintry quarry]

IsTransform ? destination.position : destinationv3 each time the loop happens

[languid spire]

the ternary expression

[wintry quarry]

Vector3 destination = IsTransform ? destination.position : destinationv3;
while (Vector3.Distance(transform.position, destination) > 0.1f) {
  ...
}```

This would be better

and easier to read

[vagrant harness]

This is how you know I've been up for 16 hours lol

How didn't I think of that 😅

[languid spire]

wdym, I've been up for 16 hours

[vagrant harness]

I still have a lot to learn, but I am actually learning! Thanks for the guidance, everyone!

(No, my way of learning isn't by asking other people lol I just couldn't find any documentation about these)

[eternal needle]

It's called a ternary expression, which the docs for exist. Often I have trouble finding the docs for symbols because google just seemingly ignores it

[vagrant harness]

So I know GetComponent<>() is horrible for optimization, but how would I avoid using that is a situation where I would need to get a specific component without an explicit reference?

[frosty hound]

You can use it whenever you need it, such as getting a component off an object at runtime.

But if you find yourself constantly getting the same component off the same object (such as in a loop/update), then you cache it

[languid spire]

several ways, singleton and dependancy injection being two

[silk crag]

Can someone help with this script? Not sure whats wrong with it.

[vagrant harness]

So this is fine if I don't do it very frequently? (ignore my non-monospaced font i don't need one cuz I don't use whatever feature requires one)

[wintry quarry]

use the fully qualified name of whatever you're trying to use

[silk crag]

Realistic FPS Prefab

its a fps prefab

but for some reason its not working

[wintry quarry]

Yeah I just explained what you need to do

Replace MinAttribute with UnityEngine.MinAttribute or UnityEngine.Postprocessing.MinAttribute

depending on which one you want.

You can also do using MinAttribute = UnityEngine.MinAttribute; or whichever one you want

[languid spire]

wdym 'for some reason' you have a very clear error message

[silk crag]

sorry im new to unity so im not very good with c sharp

[vagrant harness]

Or using MinAttribute = UnityEngine.PostProcessing.MinAttribute/using MinAttribute = UnityEngine.MinAttribute at the top

[frosty hound]

Yeah, this is fine. Personally though, I would put a component script on that object and have it cache the animator, then call a function on it to play a specific animation.

[languid spire]

I'm sure you are not new to reading though

[lunar kelp]

does this mean i cant use enemy code again? im so confused

[wintry quarry]

You can't have two variables with the same name in the same scope

int x = 5;
int y = 6;
int x = 4;``` is not allowed

nor is

int x = 5;
List<int> someListOfInts = whatever;
foreach (int x in someListOfInts) {

}```

[sage mirage]

That's basics of programming btw!

I mean that one Praetor said isn't something advanced in programming. You have to learn fundamentals first.

[lunar kelp]

ok but i said enemy in enemIES not enemy again

[worthy knot]

Hi, I'm trying to create a 2D game using visual scripting and tilemap, except I have a problem, when I move my character from left to right with the keyboard sometimes it gets stuck in place in one direction as I press my key, can anyone help me?

[sage mirage]

Is that code enclosed in a method?

[lunar kelp]

what do you mean?

[sage mirage]

I mean where you have this code?

[lunar kelp]

in Turret Script

[short hazel]

This is the C# scripting channel, you should use the #763499475641172029 server for visual scripting questions

[worthy knot]

ah okay I hadn't seen it sorry

[short hazel]

No worries

[short hazel]

enemies is not the problem. It's enemy that you declare (create) in the foreach loop. It's yelling at you because, a few lines above that, you also declare a variable named enemy

[lunar kelp]

OH

[short hazel]

You cannot have multiple local variables with the same name

[lunar kelp]

ty

[silk crag]

all of the min attributes or the one at the top

[wintry quarry]

every time you get that error

[silk crag]

okay thanks

[wintry quarry]

alternatively - as mentioned - use this

[silk crag]

Yes i got it to work

[vagrant harness]

i am so unimaginably slightly annoyed by this
CS1503 Argument 1: cannot convert from 'bool' to 'System.Func<bool>'

    IEnumerator WaitForEnd()
    {
        float Percentage = Variables.ActiveScene.Get<float>("Percentage");
        yield return new WaitUntil(Percentage == 100f);
    }

[silk crag]

my character wont move because of this

[slender nymph]

did you make sure that the input button you are attempting to use is actually set up in the input settings?

[languid spire]

perhaps if you read the WaitUntil docs you would be less annoyed

[silk crag]

it was in a custom package called realistic fps prefab im using

[slender nymph]

and? the input button is not set up in your project settings therefore it does not work

[slender nymph]

neither of those are called Left

[silk crag]

so i just call it left

[vagrant harness]

I already did- there's nothing there that I can tell is relevant to my issue

[languid spire]

of course there is. Waituntil requires a method that returns a bool. you are trying to pass an expression that returns a bool

[vagrant harness]

Oh.

Is this correct?

[languid spire]

does it compile?

[vagrant harness]

Yeh

[languid spire]

then it is correct

[vagrant harness]

Overly complicated :D because :D isn't allowed for some reason!

[livid grail]

Hey! is it possible to use inventory.Contain to see if itemName is equal to "string"?

cs
 public List<Inventory> inventory = new();
    [System.Serializable]
    public class Inventory
    {
        public string itemName;
        public Item itemData;     
    }

[slender nymph]

use Exists instead

[languid spire]

only if you write a custom comparer for the List

[short hazel]

I'd use >= 100f, as floats cannot be represented exactly by computers, there might be cases where it'll never be exactly equal to 100, it'll be more like 100.0000000003

[vagrant harness]

In the Visual Scripting code that sets Percentage, it sets it to 100 as an integer when done, dw.

[languid spire]

then you should be using a int not a float

[vagrant harness]

The percentage can contain decimals

[short hazel]

Then definitely use >=

[languid spire]

but what SPR2 still stands. 100 cannot be represented exactly as a float

[vagrant harness]

So this?

[short hazel]

Even if you "round" it, most floats won't be accurately stored

100, not 99, but that's the gist of it

[wintry quarry]

😬
That WaitUntil will never finish

[languid spire]

99.8

[wintry quarry]

because your local variable is not going to keep updating.

[vagrant harness]

Good catch 😅

[wintry quarry]

you would do cs yield return new WaitUntil(() => Variables.ActiveScene.Get<float>("Percentage") >= 99f);

[short hazel]

And if you don't plan on putting any code after the yield, or that this coroutine isn't awaited from another coroutine, it's esentially useless. It won't block the function that executed StartCoroutine() from running. In fact it will proceed with the rest of the code immediately after hitting the first yield

[vagrant harness]

Oh. So how would I properly do that?

[polar acorn]

You'll need to put whatever you're waiting to do in the coroutine, after the wait

The coroutine only delays itself

[vagrant harness]

What if I made the source method a coroutine?

...
Ending()

void Ending()
{
  // code
}

to

...
StartCoroutine(Ending())

IEnumerator Ending()
{
  yield return null;
  // code
}

[polar acorn]

You'd need to still start the coroutine

But as long as you call it with StartCoroutine it doesn't matter what you name it

it'll run until it hits a yield, wait for whatever condition you've specified, then continue from there

[vagrant harness]

...
how do i direct it directly to the main unity thread without chaining yields- all i want to do is just run one thing that takes some time, and then run another thing without overlap

[wintry quarry]

Coroutines aren't multi threaded

[livid grail]

Do you have time to give me a example?

[slender nymph]

is the example in the documentation that i linked not sufficient?

[vagrant harness]

Is there any way to do this?

Thing 1- Takes time to execute, pauses this thread without freezing Unity
Other stuff

[wintry quarry]

Well again they're not threads

but yeah just write it in your coroutine

IEnumerator Example() {
  // some stuff that takes time

  // some other stuff that happens after the first stuff
}```

[vagrant harness]

Wait, so I can actually nest coroutines and waiting will work as expected?

[wintry quarry]

depends what you mean by nesting coroutines

if you want to start a coroutine from another coroutine you either
yield return OtherCoroutine(); // waits for it to finish
or yield return StartCoroutine(OtherCoroutine()); // waits for it to finish
or StartCoroutine(OtherCoroutine()); // doesn't wait for it to finish

[vagrant harness]

Like this:

Coroutine1
StartCoroutine(Coroutine2) // Waits for Coroutine2 to stop waiting
//Other Code

Coroutine2
// Code that waits

[wintry quarry]

See my above message

it will wait only if you yield return it

[vagrant harness]

Ah

C# is daunting... I'm a little tempted to go back to Visual Scripting but I won't lol

[wintry quarry]

Coroutines are a Unity thing only

They're not part of regular C#, though the feature they are built upon IS part of C#

[vagrant harness]

Unity oriented C# is daunting... I'm a little tempted to go back to Visual Scripting but I won't lol*

[wintry quarry]

the whole IEnumerator and yield thing - those are for iterator methods which is C#.

[vagrant harness]

Oops- forgot that I reverted my change of making Ending() a coroutine lol

[steep rose]

im trying to make a raycast go in the direction of movement so like any sane person I used the RB's velocity + the forward direction of my playerleghitpos object. but instead of it not hitting something, its hitting something when it should not be, if i move far away from any stairs it seems to not hit anything. so i havent a clue what is happening 😅

        Debug.DrawRay(playerlegpos.position, rbvelocityXY.normalized * staircheck); 
        rbvelocityXY = new Vector3(rb.velocity.x, 0, rb.velocity.z);

        if(Physics.Raycast(playerlegpos.position, rbvelocityXY.normalized * staircheck, out hit3, stairmask))
        {
            Debug.Log("hitting stairs!");
        }

[wintry quarry]

If you want to raycast in the direction of movement that would just be the velocity

[steep rose]

i dont want it to measure Y movement

[wintry quarry]

if(Physics.Raycast(playerlegpos.position, rbvelocityXY.normalized * staircheck, out hit3, stairmask)```
This looks incorrect. It looks like you put the mask in the `maxDistance` parameter

rbvelocityXY.normalized * staircheck < stairCheck will be ignored here

it doesn't care about the length of this vector

only the direction

You want probably:

if(Physics.Raycast(playerlegpos.position, rbvelocityXY.normalized, out hit3, staircheck, stairmask))```

[steep rose]

that will do it, thanks for correcting my mistake, went right over my head 😅

[wintry quarry]

It's unfortunate that DrawRay and Raycast use different conventions

it leads to much confustion

[steep rose]

yeah i havent a clue why they are like that

[rocky canyon]

i wrote my own Draw.Ray() that works by passing in the ray itself

[slender nymph]

eh, it's not really even all that necessary in recent unity versions to draw the ray manually (unless you're using 2d) because of the physics debugging window that will draw your queries

this is a code channel

[rough dust]

I've copied the contents of the file, and deleted it. Searched for anything else under the name "PlayerMovement" nothing. Then I recreated the file, pasted the contents and still the same outcome. When I try adding it, it gives me the same error. And when I look it up when I click "Add Component" it doesn't show up.

I'm starting to think ALL of my projects are just cursed

[fresh marlin]

try create a new script inthe add component window but with a different name and paste the class that renamed with the current file name

[rough dust]

Welp that worked. That's REALLY stupid

Thanks

[fresh marlin]

yea ik, i got the same problem a long time ago

np and gl with ur game :DD

[lunar kelp]

why is it saying im not using Update or Gizmos while im clearly using them and have codes in them

[slender nymph]

you have those methods nested inside of another method. therefore they are not actually in use

[lunar kelp]

so the {} is placed wrong?

[fresh marlin]

show the whole code

[fresh marlin]

those warnings are in the vs not in unity

[wintry quarry]

yes your brackets are all messed up

if you use proper indentation/formatting it will be much easier to see

[slender nymph]

and using explicit access modifiers on your methods will really make it obvious when one is nested inside of another

[lunar kelp]

fixed thanks guys

[vocal wharf]

why did I read raycast as racist 💀

[cosmic dagger]

You should have a conversation with yourself and a timeout . . .

[vocal wharf]

fr

[lunar kelp]

can someone help me out with this i tried debugging but it didnt work

[deft grail]

partToRotate is what?

[lunar kelp]

is the head that moves the turret

mostly supports the turret to move its head

[deft grail]

yes but what is it, Transform?

[lunar kelp]

this?

[deft grail]

yeah

[deft grail]

so your trying to give the lerp a Transform

but it takes 2 quaternions

and a float

[lunar kelp]

so i should only have 2?

[deft grail]

you have 1 at the moment

and it requires 2

[lunar kelp]

i typed like 4 quaterions in the code tho

[deft grail]

theres only 1 in the lerp

[lunar kelp]

i did it like this

[deft grail]

huh

[lunar kelp]

you said make 2 so i did

[deft grail]

no

thats not what i said

lerp takes 2 quaternions

you gave it 1 lookRotation

[lunar kelp]

it gave 1 in the video but it completley works for him

[deft grail]

because your code isnt the same

and he gave 2 quaternions

[lunar kelp]

I already hate quaternions

[deft grail]

this has nothing to do with quaternions

nothing here your doing is complicated

its just your lack of copy pasting / basic C# knowledge

[lunar kelp]

even in the manual its too complex

or its just me yeah

now its giving me Lerp error

i checked everything it seemed like everything was in order with the video

[short hazel]

Nope, Lerp needs two Quaternion and one float, you're only passing one Quaternion and one float

You probably need to involve your lookRotation variable (created on the line above) in the calculation.

[deft grail]

you literally deleted the other quaternion for no reason

[inner quartz]

What do I made wrong?

[teal viper]

Trying to access a key that does t exist. The error says it all.

[inner quartz]

But I have this key

[teal viper]

The you're not accessing these keys.

But some other key that doesn't exist

[inner quartz]

what is this

[teal viper]

I don't know. You should know that.

[inner quartz]

I misunderstood what you wrote, why I'm not accessing these key('s)?

[teal viper]

Because I don't see you accessing them anywhere.

Do you even understand what line throws the error?

[inner quartz]

yes

[teal viper]

What line is it?

[inner quartz]

Debug.Log(Values.IntsContainer[i.name]);

or simply, Values.IntsContainer[i.name]

[inner quartz]

How to do that

[teal viper]

Great, so what are you doing on these lines?

[inner quartz]

try to find the value through the key

key is = my text name

[teal viper]

Yep. So the keys that you use here must be missing in the dictionary

[inner quartz]

okay...

[teal viper]

Try debugging the keys before using them.

[inner quartz]

I'll try

[inner quartz]

Nothing debug

[teal viper]

Share the updated code

[inner quartz]

Uh... I don't hung up the script to the some object on the scene...

[heavy knoll]

Anyone know how i can make a spring feature like the one shown in this video at 1:30 to affect the scale rotation or position of an object and also be able to bump an object. I tried following along with it but it just seems way to complex and i dont really seem to understand how to implement it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6mR7NSsi91Y

[slender nymph]

look up how to tween objects, because that's pretty much all it is, is tweening using different easing functions

[inner quartz]

is lean tween the good idea for tweening?

[slender nymph]

there are several good options, lean tween is one of them. I haven't personally used it though. I've used DOTween and PrimeTween and thought they were both pretty good

[heavy knoll]

is there another way to do it without tweening though? like just using damping and frequency value for a spring like movement?

[heavy knoll]

like how landfall uses springs for stuff shown here https://x.com/wilnyl/status/1201511388872617985

wilhelm nylund (@wilnyl) on X

A slide I'm doing about using a spring damper for screen shake

Twitter · Dec 2, 2019, 2:40 PM

[slender nymph]

you know that tweet that is a few replies in that provides a few lines of code? that's pretty much the easing function they are using

[heavy knoll]

yea i saw that, i dont rlly know how to utilize that and what else to put into the script to make it work though

[steep rose]

in this video, he shows you what he is doing and how to implement springs into unity using a public github spring class

[solar prairie]

hey anyone know a good tutorial that shows you how to make a 3d object move cant find one or it dose not work and I'm trying learn how to do it not ctrl c it

[slender nymph]

i mean, the code itself is incredibly self explanatory. Velocity is obviously the direction and speed of the movement. targetPos is clearly the target position, and CurrentPos is the current position. from there you have two other variables, spring and drag which are obviously those other values you want to just plug in.
(hint: it's literally just tweening)

[steep rose]

this is very vague because do you want an FPS controller?Third Person Controller? Car controller? etc

[deft grail]

usually using a CharacterController or Rigidbody

[solar prairie]

FPS controller sorry

[solar prairie]

that what I was trying to do but it did not work for the CharacterController

[deft grail]

you followed the tutorial wrong then or did something wrong with your setup

[slender nymph]

then show what you tried and explain what isn't working the way you expect it to

[solar prairie]

So I try to see if it works first before I try to learn it I copy and paste it and follow the guy how he show it and it didn’t work don’t know why mb because it’s old so I try a more newer tutorial so I did the same thing copy and paste, and it still doesn’t work

[heavy knoll]

i get what they each of them mean but like, i dont know how to put it into a script. Like do i put that code in start or update or something else and do i need to make a variable for each one like velocity, targetpos, currentpos, spring and drag? And is that like all the code i need besides just make variables and assigning a value to them?

[slender nymph]

well you obviously need to call it over time because calling it just once will only move it one frame's worth of that movement. so clearly it should go in Update or a coroutine, or something that is called repeatedly. And you obviously need variables for the different variables in the function.
You should probably go through some beginner courses like the pathways on the unity !learn site if you don't know how to do any of that

[eternal falcon]

[heavy knoll]

alr so i just need to put it in like private void update? and then just make a public float variable for spring and drag and a vector3 for targetpos and currentpos? not sure what to do for the velocity variable though

[steep rose]

the velocity is just the RB's velocity

[slender nymph]

all of the data that will be assigned to Velocity is right there in the existing code

[steep rose]

boxfriend is basically telling you to learn #💻┃code-beginner message

you must learn the basics before you dive into things like this

[heavy knoll]

so i just need to make variables for the other things to get it working?

[heavy knoll]

yea idk, i try learning the basics but idkr how to use that to then understand slightly more complicated specific stuff with that info

[deft grail]

then you did something wrong most likely, but we dont know without seeing anything of what your doing

[steep rose]

if you dont know how to assign variables, make vectors, floats, etc you must learn how to using the link boxfriend provided

or follow a tutorial on youtube

[heavy knoll]

i think i got the other variables set correctly, just not sure how to do the currentPos/CurrentPos and the velocity/Velocity ones

[steep rose]

well as stated before, the velocity(s) are most likely a RB velocity, the Currentpos(s) are probably vector3's

[slender nymph]

there is no rigidbody involved here

[steep rose]

then the Velocity(s) are a vector3 or a transform's position

i just looked at the tweet, my bad

[heavy knoll]

do you know what i need to do for the Velocity Vector3's and the CurrentPos vector3's?

cause they both need to be getting constantly set right?

[slender nymph]

if you would bother going through the pathways on the unity learn site, you might have some idea what you may need for the CurrentPos variable

[vagrant harness]

Whenever I try to use Random.Range(); with even explicitly floating point numbers, it still complains about them not being integers despite supporting floats?

[slender nymph]

are you still trying to assign the result to an int variable?

[vagrant harness]

Oh

[heavy knoll]

ok i think i maybe figured out how to set them correctly, not sure though

[slender nymph]

well you've missed the crucial step of actually using the currentPos variable

[heavy knoll]

where do i need to use it though? i thought it was being used on the bottom chunk of code part, im confused lol

[slender nymph]

you only use it in the one calculation. you never assign to the position with it

[heavy knoll]

also all the Velocity and currentPos can be made the same capitalization right? cause originally the it has currentPos and CurrentPos and Velocity and velocity

[heavy knoll]

uh where do i assign it so it works with the spring code?

[slender nymph]

!learn

[eternal falcon]

[heavy knoll]

oh wait is this it, do i just need to flip currentPos = transform.position; around so it sets the position of the object to the currentPos? I dont really understand still

[steep rose]

i believe he asked you to learn multiple times now

[heavy knoll]

ik, im just trying to figure out this one part though cause i already understand a little bit about variables. And i think i got it correct now, just not sure

[steep rose]

if you think you have it, try it and see

[heavy knoll]

nope it doesn't work, rip

[deft grail]

you have to update your position after you set the variable

[heavy knoll]

oh so it was right like this before? i dont understand

[steep rose]

remove the start variable

you dont need it

[heavy knoll]

ok

[deft grail]

no

thats not what i mean

[deft grail]

this line 23 needs to be after line 27

[heavy knoll]

ohh like this?

[deft grail]

yeah

[deft grail]

and i assume you need to lerp Velocity or currentPos back to 0 or whatever the default position is
(but you can figure this out later if you need)

[heavy knoll]

when i changed that line to be at the bottom of void update its giving me this error now

[deft grail]

lol

might need to clamp the numbers or something

hold on 🤔

why is this on a Cube? when its camera shake

[heavy knoll]

im just testing it on a cube atm so i can visualize it a lil better

[heavy knoll]

also wanna be able to change this code so i can move it to a point instead of just shaking them with a spring like motion

[deft grail]

by my calculation if this runs once the y position will be -100

[deft grail]

do Mathf.Clamp(Velocity.x, 0, 10f); above currentPos += Velocity;

see if that helps anything

[heavy knoll]

rip im still getting the error

[deft grail]

show where you put this and whats the error

[heavy knoll]

its saying it has to do with the line 22 (line 23 now), its at the bottom

[deft grail]

do the same but currentPos.x instead of Velocity.x and put it underneath instead of above

[wintry quarry]

that clamp won't do anything btw

you're ignoring the result

anyway you're getting a NaN in there somewhere - and it's not coming from this code.

[cosmic dagger]

you're not saving the value returned from Mathf.Clamp . . .

[heavy knoll]

same error still on line 23

[steep rose]

you are trying to move the cube at an infinite speed which is not possible

they suggested to clamp the value

but you are ignoring the result of the clamp

[cosmic dagger]

to infinity, and BEYOND! 🚀

[wind dust]

Hi, everyone, Nice to meet you.

[heavy knoll]

yea idrk, i just put the clamp where he told me and that it might fix it

[deft grail]

yeah i forgot you need to store the value so just currentPos.x = Mathf...

[cosmic dagger]

you need to understand how to use the method . . .

[steep rose]

look at the mathf.clamp documentation

[wind dust]

sorry to interrupt you.

[heavy knoll]

ok, i tried that but im still getting the error for some reason

[deft grail]

ah im stupid, its .y

because your using the Y position not X

[steep rose]

speak up

[heavy knoll]

ok yea that got rid of the error but idek what's going on ): its just teleporting to 0, 0, 0 instantly and not doing anything

[deft grail]

probably because from my calculations it should be -100 which means its under 0, but you clamp it to 0

try making the clamp -50, 50

instead of 0, 10

[heavy knoll]

uh now it just teleports somewhere where i can't see it anymore

[deft grail]

yeah i mean because its a high number, the most you would wanna move it is like under 1 probably

but if the value is always smaller then you will never see a "shake"

this code is pointless

[heavy knoll]

yea idk lol, i found a longer video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eaymdtBHpxM) of the code block that i had linked earlier being used, which is basically how i want it to be able to be used, to move objects to spot or be able to change scale or rotate, and also for a camera shake (so its like pretty modular and can be used for a bunch of different uses in my game in the future like recoil or something on a gun) . I thought the camera shake would be easier so that's why i was starting with that. This is where (https://x.com/wilnyl/status/1201516498445058048) he said the what the code for this example basically just is, and someone in the replies said they were able to use that for a camera shaker.

wilhelm nylund (@wilnyl) on X

@haanssksum Thank you!
I dont think so.
The code is basically:

Velocity += (targetPos - currentPos) * spring;
Velocity -= drag * velocity;
CurrentPos += Velocity

Twitter · Dec 2, 2019, 3:00 PM

[steep rose]

also to clarify, the person in this video tells you how to set up actual code instead of a reply on twitter

[deft grail]

you probably need https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/class-SpringJoint.html or if theres another component

since its "physics"

and you have literally zero physics lmao

[heavy knoll]

yea im not sure if its actually physics based or he's just saying that cause it looks like it, but he said in the replies on another tweet about working on the slide is that the motion is all spring damper based, not exactly sure what that means.

[deft grail]

yeah its definitely using that Component i think

[heavy knoll]

yea i just didnt really understand it much, and rather decided to go with the other code since the person that made it is from landfall games and the style that i'm trying to go for is very simliar to theirs with how it uses springs/physics and stuff for a lot of things.

[slender nymph]

here is the code actually working after making the necessary changes to work. the issue isn't that they are missing a component or anything, they just don't understand what they are doing so they don't know what changes to make to get it to work

that is also using 10 and 2 which were the spring and drag values they attempted to use

[cosmic dagger]

honestly, this is similar, if not, the same as Lerp using an easing function for t . . .

[slender nymph]

yes, it's literally just an easing function that replicates a spring

[cosmic dagger]

so just use an easing function, or an animation curve where you replicate the (spring) curve you want . . .

[heavy knoll]

yea thats exactly what im trying to do maybe just a little less strong, didnt know how the values were going to make it turn out till it actually worked so i was gonna tweak them after.

i still have no idea what changes to make to get it to work though, and cant seem to figure it out at all no matter what i try and look at lol

I have a misunderstanding regarding to setting a gameobject position. If i call this line the first time, the position goes the 1,1,1 position.
But if i call the same line again, it translates the object to 2,2,2 but i just want to set this gameObject exact position to 1,1,1 again. How can i achieve this?

gameObject.transform.position = new Vector3(1,1,1);

[languid spire]

no, that line will not set the position to 2,2,2

[noble forum]

Hi! I have a problem with movement

in 3d

it works fine, but every time i stuble upon an obstacle that makes my player go up a bit, he keeps moving up and flying

  private void Start()
    {
        rb = GetComponent<Rigidbody>();
        rb.freezeRotation = true;

        
    }

    private void Update()
    {
        // ground check
        grounded = Physics.Raycast(transform.position, Vector3.down, playerHeight * 0.5f + 0.2f, whatIsGround);

        MyInput();
        SpeedControl();

        // handle drag
        if (grounded)
        {
            rb.drag = groundDrag;
            Debug.Log("Grounded");
        }
        else
            rb.drag = 0;
    }

    private void FixedUpdate()
    {
        MovePlayer();
    }

    private void MyInput()
    {
        horizontalInput = Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal");
        verticalInput = Input.GetAxisRaw("Vertical");


    }

private void MovePlayer()
{
    // Calculate movement direction
    moveDirection = orientation.forward * verticalInput + orientation.right * horizontalInput;

    Vector3 targetVelocity = moveDirection.normalized * moveSpeed;

    if (grounded)
    {
        rb.velocity = new Vector3(targetVelocity.x, rb.velocity.y, targetVelocity.z);
    }
    else
    {
        rb.velocity = new Vector3(targetVelocity.x * airMultiplier, rb.velocity.y, targetVelocity.z * airMultiplier);
    }
}

    private void SpeedControl()
    {
        Vector3 flatVel = new Vector3(rb.velocity.x, 0f, rb.velocity.z);

        // limit velocity if needed
        if(flatVel.magnitude > moveSpeed)
        {
            Vector3 limitedVel = flatVel.normalized * moveSpeed;
            rb.velocity = new Vector3(limitedVel.x, rb.velocity.y, limitedVel.z);
        }
    }

[languid spire]

screenshot your rigidbody

[noble forum]

ok

[languid spire]

that looks fine. You need to debug your code. especially this line

rb.velocity = new Vector3(targetVelocity.x * airMultiplier, rb.velocity.y, targetVelocity.z * airMultiplier);

[noble forum]

turns out this line is always running

So it never counts player as grounded

[worn plover]

Sorry this was a stripped down example, it is actually working. My problem is that i use this line of code:

var leftViewportMiddle = Camera.main.ViewportToWorldPoint(new Vector3(0, 0.5f, 0));

This gets the right position at startup, but when i call later in runtine it gets totally wrong position. The position of the camera was remained the same.
I use the camera with Cinamachine if that could be any helpful information. What could cause the problem?

[languid spire]

#🎥┃cinemachine

[glossy turtle]

i see rb.velocity.y is causing the problem. rb.velocity = new Vector3(limitedVel.x, rb.velocity.y, limitedVel.z);

[vale geyser]

hey, I do not know if this is the correct channel to use for this problem. But I just started using unity but it seems I already got errors and I don't know how to fix them. I have been trying to fix them myself without success, I am using 2022.3.45f1 editor. the errors are : Library\PackageCache\com.unity.render-pipelines.core@14.0.11\Runtime\Lighting\ProbeVolume\ProbeReferenceVolume.cs(651,13): error CS0103: The name 'AdditionalGIBakeRequestsManager' does not exist in the current context and Library\PackageCache\com.unity.render-pipelines.core@14.0.11\Runtime\Lighting\ProbeVolume\ProbeReferenceVolume.cs(689,13): error CS0103: The name 'AdditionalGIBakeRequestsManager' does not exist in the current context

[teal viper]

This usually implies that your editor version and a package version are not compatible. Did you upgrade a project that was using an older unity version or something?

[vale geyser]

no I did not. After I installed the editor I created the project

[teal viper]

Then it could be an issue with your installation. Or did you use some non default template perhaps?

[vale geyser]

hm there was a problem with the installation. However the problem was solved when i reopened my computer

[teal viper]

What problem?

[vale geyser]

it complained about storage space (22gb left), but it successfully downloaded when i reopened my computer

[teal viper]

There's a chance that it didn't install correctly

[vale geyser]

Yeah that could be the case, then should I try to install another editor or remove this editor and reinstall it?

[teal viper]

Yeah, try reinstalling.

The same version is fine. Just make sure it installs without issues.

[vale geyser]

Thanks, it won’t ruin what I have already done in my project?

[teal viper]

What have you don't in your project..? Considering you had compilation errors.🤔

But no, that should ruin it. Though, the error might persist until you reset the project cache.

[vale geyser]

Yeah, I could code and all that but I could not play the scene.

Ah, did not do much in it. Will be worth it if I can play the scene in the end

are there any good fov tutorials for enemy ai im making a top down 2d game using navmeshplus for pathfinding

[sullen rock]

Hi! I dont have a quesiton about a particular piece of code, Im more looking for a tool I could use. My armor data is structured like this https://gdl.space/ozodihobop.cs

I would prefer to not do any changes to it and Im looking for a way to nicely look up a specific ItemExtras based on the name (for now Im literally going by indexes like
armorExtras.categories[x].itemExtras[y].animClip'
for example, its fine, but it gets very long in some cases

[teal viper]

Maybe just implement getter methods?

clip = item.GetAnimClip(category, index);
extra = item.GetExtras(category, index);

[sullen rock]

thats solid, thx

[worthy veldt]

how does OnPointerEnter behaves ? i have one that doesn't work even when it's using the same UI prefab with one that works. i'd rather not writing my own raycast if possible but i have no idea what their condition to be detected and executed.

i was hoping that it is "the first to be hit/ closer to camera" but apparently it's not that simple.

[jolly musk]

I hope I'm in the right channel here but I have a question

I'm very new to this unity stuff but I've been looking into how to decompile a certain game made in Unity, a little game called Bo: Path Of The Teal Lotus
The reason I wanted to decompile it is cause I wanted to start making mods for it, just a fun little personal project

So the thing is, I managed to decompile the game, and the textures I want to alter for the mod I want to make were found in level0.file, but how do you recompile a file like that into a new level0.file except with the altered textures?

[wintry quarry]

You need an event system in the scene and the appropriate raycaster in the scene

[languid spire]

you are in the wrong server. We do not allow discussions about decompiling or modding here

[jolly musk]

Oh, okay, my bad

Off I go then

[lunar cove]

I have been trying to make make camera movement, and followed some code online, it only works when turning on the x axis, but not for the y axis, is there something I should be checking?

[worthy veldt]

i have it worked but it's inconsistent, as i mentioned they use same UI prefab but one doesnt work.

[weak talon]

im making game and suddenly i cant do any like unity shortcuts
like gameobject, transform, and the for loop is weird and different
noit sure what happend

[teal viper]

Use the event system to debug the issue. Mainly to see if something else overlaps the object.

[worthy veldt]

it is, thats my problem as my game grows. how do i use event system to detect which UI my pointer is on ?

[wintry quarry]

If it's iincosistent it's probably just that theres some other object in front of it

[wintry quarry]

IPointerEnterHandler is correct

[weak talon]

and all my gameobjects arent coloured anymore
they were green before

Select it at runtime and it would show info on pointer states.

thanks

[worthy veldt]

doesnt work, so this is https://docs.unity3d.com/2018.1/Documentation/ScriptReference/UI.Selectable.html the one I'm working with (right ?). how do i get the information in reverse, what gameobject(s?) is my pointer is currently at.

[teal viper]

Doesn't work? Can you take a screenshot of the event system object at runtime?

[worthy veldt]

this ?

[teal viper]

Yes, there should be a preview window at the bottom.

Ah, you're using the new input system. It might not be showing then.😅

Plan b. Pause your game when the issue is easy to reproduce, switch to scene view, focus on the canvas and start clicking in the area where you'd click in the game and see what objects get selected. If among them any undesired objects, uncheck their raycast target, untill only the desired object is being selected.

[worthy veldt]

all my stuffs were anchored to the whole screen so it will choose one of them each click, ill just brute force through everything untill i decide it's not worth it and do it manually.

or start learning this https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/UIElements.html , this is the fancy new(ish) thing right ?

you don't, that is the nature of floating point numbers

[faint osprey]

        massCount.text = dustCount.ToString() + " Solar Masses";```

[wintry quarry]

0.001f is not a number that can be represented accurately in binary floating point representation

[faint osprey]

ah right so how would i go about changing it

a double?

[wintry quarry]

no

it cannot be represented in binary at all

It's like 1/3 in base 10

it becomes 0.333333.....

similarly 1/1000 and 1/10 cannot be represented in binary

https://www.h-schmidt.net/FloatConverter/IEEE754.html < try plugging it in here

[faint osprey]

so what do i do

[wintry quarry]

What are you trying to do

[polar acorn]

What do you need numbers that precise for

[wintry quarry]

If you want to do something like this you can make an int or long variable that represents 1/1000s .

[polar acorn]

There are other ways to represent numbers, depending on your specific use case. If you're doing it for the purposes of precise math, for example

[wintry quarry]

e.g.

long OneThousandthsOfASolarMass;```

Then you just do formatting tricks when you print it

And when you do math, you multiply it by 1000 and use double to do the math itself

[faint osprey]

oh so if i keep it as an int but then do math as a double then display that it will work

[wintry quarry]

if the math is just adding one 1/1000th, you don't do the math as a double, no

you just add 1

because 1 means a 1/1000th in this scheme

[faint osprey]

so then how do i display that

[wintry quarry]

Think of it like having a variable for pennies when talking about money in dollars

[wintry quarry]

long OneThousandthsOfASolarMass = 25; // aka 0.0025
Debug.Log($"0.{OneThousandthsOfASolarMass:D4}");```

for example

Here is is in action:
https://dotnetfiddle.net/qVNYd8

When you want to do other math with it, you would do like:

double asDouble = OneThousandthsOfASolarMass / 1000.0;
double totalMass = asDouble * numberOfStars;
long backToIntRepresentation = System.Math.Floor(totalMass * 1000.0);```

[faint osprey]

        massCount.text = ((double)dustCount / 1000).ToString() + " Solar Masses";``` this seems to work for me so im going with this

thanks for help guys

[shy tiger]

Can anyone help me bit please, I didn't found script for speed and jump.
These my C# Code

[languid spire]

look at the input line above the error and spot the difference

[wintry quarry]

You have some basic syntax errors. Double check your code vs examples and make sure you're doing it properly. As you can see from the red underline - you didn't write it properly.

[shy tiger]

Hmm, so if (Input.GetButtonDown"Jump"))

Were error or something? Im beginner anyway tho

look at the difference between these two

[wintry quarry]

It's probably just my experience talking but doesn't that look very "wrong" to you? There's no symmetry of the parentheses

[shy tiger]

What does that green mean?

[wintry quarry]

It means you made a change and saved it

[shy tiger]

Also, noice

Ah thanks

[wintry quarry]

yellow means unsaved changes

[shy tiger]

Ok uhh, how to Attached that to my object indonesia
(As I start it's still floating)

[polar acorn]

Probably this

[shy tiger]

But I already put that on C#

[polar acorn]

There is no Rigidbody2D attached to the Indonesia game object, but a script is trying to access it

[shy tiger]

Ah I finally understand, so how do I attached it?

[polar acorn]

The same way you've attached any component to any object.

You click add component

and then pick it

[shy tiger]

Aight, I finally found it, thanks.

It may drop but that just because I haven't coded the ground yet, but still thanks.

hey i want to check if the mouse is hovering over any ui object before i call a raycast to select an object (or in general preventing the raycast to go through ui lol)

[wintry quarry]

The best option is to use the UI event system for all the interactions - including your in-game object interaction
