then you will get that behavior for free

iron mango
#

eventSystem.current.IsPointerOverGameObject() always returns true

#

i mean makes sense, in a game engine i always hover over a gameobject

queen adder
#

means you have a random image/graphic blocking the screen

iron mango
#

no

queen adder
#

disable all of your canvas

#

the gameobjects of canvas

iron mango
#

it only returns true when hovering over a gameobject

#

any

#

not only ui

queen adder
#

EventSystem only works on UI

iron mango
#

no

#

apparently not

#

i see it

iron mango
rich adder
iron mango
#

thank u
i didn't know that before

rich adder
#

you just add this component to the camera and you can get all the EventSystem methods on colliders, like OnPointerEnter etc

iron mango
#

ah yeah i removed it and now IsPointerOverGameObject works only with ui

i thought wtf this function is useless in a gameengine 😭 because you always hover over a gameobject hahah

timid ember
#

Why are my outputs not showing

#

the messgae box is on

#

i have no errors

#

wait

vsc c#

rich adder
#

well Console.WriteLine wont work in unity btw

timid ember
#

i know

rich adder
#

so how you know those cases are hit ?

timid ember
#

ive been trying to run this on for 3 days now

polar acorn
#

It's very clearly C# because it's Unity

#

what actually runs this code

#

where is it

rain yarrow
#

Uhm idk which channel to ask something about converting a unitypackage to fbx, where d i ask?

rich adder
#

which gameobject is it on basically

timid ember
#

object?

#

main camera

polar acorn
rich adder
languid spire
rain yarrow
#

help okay

#

ty for telling me >_<

rich adder
#

unitypackages are opened inside unity

rain yarrow
#

Thats the thing i tried downlaoding unity and uh yea its too much for my pc

#

💔

timid ember
rain yarrow
#

so i was coming here to see if anyone could help me with it

timid ember
#

i tried sumthing simple

polar acorn
timid ember
#

default

rich adder
#

oh lord

languid spire
polar acorn
#

The only way those would be static is if you made them static

#

So, why did you do that?

#

Are you intending to call these functions yourself? If so, where?

rich adder
timid ember
#

even if i emove static, problem persists

#

the problem is my console doesnt display outputs

#

it displays errors

languid spire
#

there is still a static in there

timid ember
#

i downloaded all packages

polar acorn

how do i show it

polar acorn
#

Screenshot

timid ember
#

i dragged it there

polar acorn
#

like you've done multiple times already

timid ember
#

how do i sho a drag tho

polar acorn
#

Show the object

timid ember
polar acorn
#

with the component on it

timid ember
#

unsure if this is what you mean

polar acorn
#

Okay, now, did you actually run the game

rich adder
# rain yarrow

why cant you install unity real quick? importing a package wont be much processing power

timid ember
rain yarrow
#

oki

polar acorn
timid ember
#

ye

#

ur jesus

polar acorn
#

Show a screenshot of the game in play mode, with the console open, and this object selected

timid ember
#

ur allah

#

ur every god i know

polar acorn
#

Okay so the reason it wasn't printing is because you literally did not start the program

#

didn't think I'd ned to have explained that

timid ember
#

and im athiest thats hw big of a problem you solved

#

god bless you

rain yarrow
polar acorn
#

It took you three days to think of "run the game"?

timid ember
#

i was searching every website for a solution and they all talked about the box

#

checking message box

rich adder
rain yarrow
#

ah ok

#

i came here becauese i was hoping someone could try to do it for me >_<

polar acorn
#

Then you were mistaken

rain yarrow
#

oki

#

goodbye :)

timid ember

Is there a way to make a player can't press two or more specific keys at the same time? I coded it but doesn't work.

languid spire

directional movement?

rich adder
wintry quarry
#

Looks like it should work fine

neon lynx
wintry quarry
#

how are you validating it's not working

#

THere's no "error" that Unity would detect

#

Did you populate the restrictedKeys array properly in the inspector?

verbal dome
#

Make sure that its not a hardware issue also. Like a bad keyboard having trouble detecting multiple keys

wintry quarry
#

Note that your code only does Debug.Log when a key is pressed. It's going to be hard to tell if it's working from reading these logs since they will fly by so rapidly each frame

#

One way to check if this is working:

    private void Update()
    {
        CheckRestrictedKeys();

        
        if (!areKeysBlocked)
        {
            Debug.Log("Doing movement");
            HandleMovement();
        }
        else 
        {
            Debug.Log("Multiple key presses detected. Not moving!");
        }
    }```
#

That will be a bit more readable than what you have right now

#

You'll want to make sure Collapse is turned off in your console as well

Greetings everyone,
I can no longer drag files into my Unity Editor Project folders to import new sprites or any assets. When I do so the circle with a slash through it appears.
I can import assets manually by right-clicking on my Project Folder.
I believe the project may be starting in admin mode, but I can’t figure out how to prevent it from doing so.

-I uninstalled/reinstalled Unity entirely, and the same issue is still happening.
-New/old projects do not have this issue
-I did drag an asset directly into my project directory rather than through the editor. The bug has been present ever since, but I do not know if that is the issue
-The project was synced with Google Drive, but I have unsynced the project
-I have tried duplicating the project entirely, but the error still occurs

At this point, it seems like only one project is stuck in admin mode or something else.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Could there be a startup/temp/main script that needs to be manually changed?
Is there a way a single project can be started in admin mode?

rich adder
#

try making new project that works, then import the broken one as a unitypackage, see if that works

wraith phoenix
#

Ok, let me see if I can figure that out. Thank you @rich adder

rich adder
wraith phoenix
#

So I need to export my previous project first? Or, does this automatically happen and that's how Unity organizes it's internals?

rich adder
wraith phoenix
#

Great documentation! I'll get to work on this real quick and post back soon

wraith phoenix
#

importing now

#

Looks like I need to update the renderer and input controller but aside from that it has worked!

rich adder
#

nice!

#

i wonder if something in project settings got borked or even library folder?

wraith phoenix
#

Thank you for the help @rich adder !

wraith phoenix
rich adder
#

whats the last thing you did before it broke?

wraith phoenix
#

It occured right after I tried to backup the game to google drive so I could work on it via laptop over vacation.

rich adder
#

oh how did you back it up ? like some type of file sync or something

wraith phoenix
#

I didn't REALLY see anything happen right away. But after two weeks on vacation, when I returned home and tried to drag in some new sprites I created, the bug was present

rich adder
#

weird..maybe it was just library folder that needed deletion n rebuilt ? worth a try ig

wraith phoenix
# rich adder oh how did you back it up ? like some type of file sync or something

Very roughly lol. I use Google Drive on my computer and have a shared drive directly synced. I gave permission to also sync the google drive to my game project folder (which now I see would of been smart to make a copy since this is the first test).
I was essentially trying to make a simpler version of Unity Version Control where I didn't have to check-in changes every time

trying to declare a scriptableObject that ive already made, in my last code (dumpsterfire to be fair) this exact line works but here SO doesnt exist

#

ive probably forgotten a step

rich adder

yeah ive done that

wraith phoenix

#

im basing this on the old satan child of a script we made last time

rich adder

ive only declared SO here

what you shown, no you declared a reference to SO

#

your scriptable object script

queen adder
#

OOH WAIT

#

where did you define you class

queen adder
#

nonono okay i got it

#

yeah i realyl do suck at naming things

rich adder
#

SO is horrible name yes

queen adder
#

i assumed SO was shorthand for scriptable object or something but thats

#

literally what i named it yeah

#

fixed

languid spire
wraith phoenix
wraith phoenix
wraith phoenix
#

As a note, I have successfully dragged a few of those sprites into other projects

languid spire
# wraith phoenix

The problem would appear to be with you picking up, not dropping into Unity

image.png
wraith phoenix
languid spire
#

Elaborate what? Is the image not sufficient to show the item has not been picked up correctly?

wraith phoenix
#

dragging and dropping works fine into other projects. It doesn't work for this one

languid spire
#

Also I'm not sure what your Unity Assets folder is but it seems rather odd

wraith phoenix
#

Google drive sync

#

Seperate from my project

#

So I can share with my artist

languid spire
#

Unity does not play well with these types of follders

wraith phoenix
#

That's why I also showed the download folder. But definitely learning it doesn't link the sync files that much

#

Here is a video of me doing the same thing with another project

wraith phoenix
rich adder
#

the google drive one probably messed up folder permissions and unity is reading whatever permission was set

wraith phoenix
#

Defintely agree there

#

I can't figure out how to adjust the permissions for the Unity project though

#

I've tried a few different methods but permissions are not my forte

# wraith phoenix I've tried a few different methods but permissions are not my forte

Recap in case it helps:

-I did drag an asset directly into my project directory rather than through the editor. The bug has been present ever since, but I do not know if that is the issue

#

copying over the whole thing that is

#

The issue in the bugged project seems to be when I synced it with Google Drive

#

Even after unsyncing it, the permission seems to be messed up.
Now I cannot 'read/write' new files into the project

#

Any thoughts on how to reset the permissions?

Hello, guys! I have a problem you know. So, I am making currently a horror game. So, what I want to make is when the player collects an item to change the task, so somehow I have to connect tasks with items inside my game. At the start of the game, I have a key inside the house, and when I am taking that key I want the first task to change.

This is my interaction method, so when I press the E button I am collecting the item.

Interactor.cs

{
    Ray ray = new Ray(interactionSource.position, interactionSource.forward);
    RaycastHit hit;

    if (Physics.Raycast(ray, out hit, interactionRange))
    {
        Interactable interactable = hit.collider.GetComponent<Interactable>();

        if (interactable != null)
        {
            interactable.OnInteract();
            StartCoroutine(DisplayFoundItemText());
        }
    }
}```
and 

Interactable.cs
```public class Interactable : MonoBehaviour
{
    public virtual void OnInteract()
    {
        Collect();
    }

    public void Collect()
    {
        gameObject.SetActive(false);
    }
}```
#

Something like a task/quest system I ve never done that before very unfamiliar with that

Particles can be emitted in world space (a setting on the particle system), so the emitted particles don't follow the object they were emitted from

#

Requires no code or hierarchy changes

verbal dome
#

It kinda looks like it's in local space, but previous particles stay where they were when the character rotates, so I'm a bit confused

rich adder
#

that is if they don't want the particle to follow, i bit confused if they meant just rotation or pos too lol

main karma
verbal dome
#

Looks like it's already in world space tbh, but the emitter shape (Shape module) is rotating with it

verbal dome
main karma
#

I think you'd just have to unparent it and then either use a position constraint (although I've never used one) or make a simple script that says
yourParticle.transform = player.transform - offset;

#

in some update

#

because parenting changes the position and rotation of the object and I'm assuming @tranquil hollow want's to move it along with the player and not rotate

#

@verbal dome btw I heard parenting isn't allowed for multiplayer games, is that true?

noble forum

Hi

#

how do i make my player fall when he is descending the stairs for example

#

I mean the player falls but very very slowly

eternal needle
# noble forum I mean the player falls but very very slowly

the reason your player is falling right now is due to the rigidbodys default gravity settings. id toggle use gravity off and control what you want it to be yourself. right now you have no control over it.
check the slope of what the player is on, then set the velocity accordingly

ancient karma
#

can anyone point me to why this script is preventing me from rotating the camera?

    void Update()
    {
        Vector3 offset = new Vector3(distance, distance, distance);
        transform.position = player.transform.position + offset;

        if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.Q))
        {
            transform.RotateAround(player.transform.position, new Vector3(0, 1, 0), rotateSpeed);
        }
        if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.E))
        {
            transform.RotateAround(player.transform.position, new Vector3(0, 1, 0), rotateSpeed);
        }


        transform.LookAt(player.transform);
    }
#

The camera should orbit around the player when you use Q and E, but instead while pressing Q or E it temporarily moves the camera rotateSpeed degrees (3 in this case) around the player, and then returns to its original position when you let go

keen dew
#

The first two lines should be in Start, and the camera should be a child of the player object so that you don't need to set its position manually

ancient karma
#

but wouldnt making the camera a child of player also associate it with the players roation?

#

I want the player to be able to rotate independently of the camera

#

I might have forgotten to say that lol, it's late meowsweats

keen dew
#

The hierarchy is usually like this:

  • Player container
    • Player model
    • Camera
#

You move the player container and rotate the player model

ancient karma
#

hmmm, ok yeah. I did think of that but said what I have works and went with it. I'll try rearranging it

#

oh lol thanks for pointing out the Start thing, I didnt notice I was dumping new vector3's everywhere in memory

keen dew
#

That's not a problem

ancient karma
#

Oh so that isn’t leaking memory?

keen dew
#

No, vectors are structs

ancient karma
#

Oh wait it goes out of scope every frame and I guess gets cleaned up

if I have a reference to a class with data and a variable with a new instance of that same kind of class.
is there a quick way to copy over the variables or do I have to set them one by one?
if I just set the new instance to the data it'll change the original data if I change variables in the instance which I don't want.

languid spire

cloning method it is, could just make a constructor that takes the class itself in as a parameter now that I think about it like that.

remember you have shallow and deep copy options.
Shallow copy creates new primitives but leaves the references
Deep copy creates both new primitives and references

Is it feasible to use Unity's Animation Editor to flip sprites on the x-axis?
I rigged up a couple animations doing this but the 'flip x' stays engaged even when an animation is triggered where it has been turned off.
Seems like I need to flip x again but that doesn't really work in the animator.

Is this why I see most people flipping sprites with code rather than the GUI or am I doing something wrong?

Is there a way to see if I have correctly created two submeshes? I'm trying to set materials in the meshrenderer and it doesn't work, so I want to see if my submesh algoritm actually generates submeshes or not

Yea it says I have two submeshes

#

Any way to see them seperately?

Or the mesh logic doesn't work like that idk

Not sure how to do that without assigning materials to a mesh renderer

You can show your mesh !code and I can take a look

        int[] frontFaceTriangles = new int[(sides - 2) * 3];
        for (int i = 1; i < sides - 1; i++)

            frontFaceTriangles[(i - 1) * 3] = 0;        
            frontFaceTriangles[(i - 1) * 3 + 1] = i * 2; 
            frontFaceTriangles[(i - 1) * 3 + 2] = (i + 1) * 2; 
        }

        mesh.subMeshCount = 2;
        mesh.SetTriangles(triangles, 0); 
        mesh.SetTriangles(frontFaceTriangles, 1);
weak cedar
#

This code is supposed to seperate the front face and the rest into submeshes

Also, just FYI, unity has a wireframe view if this is not something you want to ship with your game, but just to debug.
Cause it seems like you are debugging things atm.

I have some wireframe shader in my project, IIRC it comes from some HDRP sample or something - I can take a look in a moment

Just FYI I don't want to see through my prism

#

See if you have this shader:

#

Is it see through

verbal dome
#

No

#

It does change color based on distance though, I didn't remember it does that

#

Yeah probably not useful since you can't really edit it

#

Could replace lines 132-134 with a solid color for the wire instead, since you don't need the distance-based coloring

I need to reference the z rotation of an object in script, but whenever i try to it goes to a value between 0 and 1 instead of the value it is in the inspector. How do i get the inspector value instead

wintry quarry
languid spire
slender nymph
# hasty tundra I need to reference the z rotation of an object in script, but whenever i try to...

what you see in the inspector are the euler angles, not the actual rotation. however you also don't typically want to use the euler angles for logic because they are interpreted from the quaternion that actually represents the rotation at the time you access them. you would be much better off manually tracking the rotation by keeping a float that represents the current Z rotation and read that and also use it to assign the rotation

wintry quarry
#

But yeah trying to get the inspector value is a bit of a fool's errand. It's better to use something like Vector3.SignedAngle, or track it yourself yes.

Yo, I have these 2 codes, the top 1 is basically the Unit for the stats and numbers for the player and the enemy and the bottom is the battle system script for my turn based combat game, I'm trying to write each enemy a diffrent behavior in a unique script but I dont know where to start. any help?

#

like I just need some guidence to how I start

teal viper
lapis frigate
#

how do I code a unique behavior to each enemy

#

Like I have the enemy prefab

#

and all the diffrence I can make between each enemy is the stats numbers

#

via script component

teal viper
lapis frigate
#

I mean, I have no expirience with AI at all but the thing is I'm not sure how do I even change the enemy's stats from the other script

#

like If I want to create new attacks / skills for them. I dont know how to attach them

frosty hound
#

You need to actually know how you want your AI to behave, in plain english, before you can start actually figuring out how to create it.

teal viper
teal viper
lapis frigate
#

I just want to know how do I change their behavior manualy before I get into AI

teal viper
lapis frigate
#

For example I have this enemy prefab and I added a goblin script, and lets say I want him to heal every time he gets lower than 50% hp

2024-09-12_163523.png
#

or like just have to options and choose at random

#

I just want to learn how to do that before I get into AI in general

teal viper
# 
if hp < maxHP * 0.5f
  heal

At the very basic level, something like that. It's all very basic coding.

lapis frigate
#

yes I know but I mean like

#

I want it to be diffrent for each enemy

#

and I dont know how do I do that in diffrent scripts

teal viper
ivory bobcat
#

Have different scripts do different things?

teal viper
lapis frigate
#

how do I attach the behavior from that script to the battle system

ivory bobcat
#

Reference the goblin script from the battle system script and do whatever you're needing to do with it.

teal viper
lapis frigate
#

its like the battle manager

teal viper
#

What does it do?

lapis frigate
#

it controls the state of the battle like who's turn it is and what options do I have

teal viper
#

And what's it's relationship with the ai behavior?

lapis frigate
#

and it has a few method for player skills

teal viper
#

And what's it's relationship with the player?

#

You realize, that we can't help you with things specific to your project, unless you provide details on them?

lapis frigate
#

and its contains the methods for the enemy's and the player's turn

#

and what happens in those turns

teal viper
#

Then call the enemy's methods. And each enemy behavior script would provide a different implementation. As easy as that.

lapis frigate
#

Lets say I want to create inside the goblinScript an EnemyAct method that inside that method is what is the enemy is going to do in its turn

teal viper
#

Make Unit a base class, and implement it for different behaviors. For example public class GoblinUnit: Unit. Each of such classes would implement their own TakeDamage and HealHP behaviors.

lapis frigate
#

how can I attach it to the battle system without refrencing the code

teal viper
lapis frigate
#

I mean

#

if i'll have like 100 diffrent enemies I'd have to refrence a 100 differnt behavior codes?

#

and even if I do that how do I know which behavior method do I choose?

#

a 100 if statements?

teal viper
teal viper
burnt vapor
#

Only the different enemy types would need a new script. That's very normal for a game

teal viper
teal viper
lapis frigate
#

what is oop

teal viper
#

Object oriented programming. Or Object oriented design.

lapis frigate
#

can I get all of the enemie's script in an erray?

#

then just like use the one i need each time?

teal viper
#

No. You probably shouldn't do that.

lapis frigate
#

like a library i think its called

teal viper
#

Learn oop, and you'll see how easy it is to solve your problem.

what is the refrence to Pos x i cant find it

lapis frigate
teal viper
# lapis frigate tbh I dont think u still completly understand me but maybe there is something I ...

I do understand you completely.
In your battleManager you'll have something like:

IEnumerator EnemyTurn()
{
  foreach( Unit enemy in enemies)
    enemy.Act();
  //....

Then you'll have a base Unit class:

public abstract class Unit
{
  public abstract void Act();
}

Then you'll have many derived classes, for example:

public class Goblin : Unit
{
  public void Act()
  {
    //goblin turn logic
  }
}

And for example another different behavior:

public class GoblinHealer: Unit
{
  public void Act()
  {
    //goblin healer logic
    //heal it's alies
  }
}
lapis frigate
#

aight then I'll stick to that example just need to learn wha foreach and abstract class are

teal viper
#

I'd suggest going over the C# basics, if you don't know what these are, before trying to continue your project. You can't get far if you don't know how to code.

all i know about c# is from school

teal viper
# lapis frigate maybe about me or maybe about school idk

Honestly, you don't need school to learn programming and/or gamedev. And just learning at school is not enough to make you a programmer/gamedev. The most important quality of a dev is being able to constantly learn and improve yourself.

Though, if it's for mouse interactions with scene objects, I'd still raycast manually from a script, just to have more control over it.

i tried using raycast but honestly too complicated for my 2 brain cells

Here's a question. I've heard that Physics.CheckSphere is bad. is Physics.OverlapSphere and Physics.SphereCast bad too?

verbal dome
#

None of those are 'bad'. They all do different things

rough venture
#

I remember hearing something about it looping through all colliders in the scene. Is that true?

verbal dome
#

CheckSphere when you need to know if anything is hit, but don't care what it is
OverlapSphere when you need to know each collider that was hit
SphereCast is just a thick raycast

verbal dome
rich adder
verbal dome
#

There's some spatial structure that allows the engine to only check for nearby colliders

rough venture
#

Wow, okay. I've been scared of 3D for no reason then...

rich adder
#

not surprising , premature optimizing kills any project early

rich adder
# rough venture Wow, okay. I've been scared of 3D for no reason then...

one thing to note , for the Ovelaps or the ones that return more than 1 result then you absolutely should be using the nonalloc version of it.
The performance gain is actually incredible if you saw the profiler, ofc allocating a new array is more expensive than having a fixed one ready to go

rough venture
rich adder
#

correct

rough venture
#

Alright. I can't seem to find one for SphereCastAll. Only a nonalloc for SphereCast

rich adder
#

thats cause if its non-alloc its returning usually multiple ones

#

thats the whole point of prefixing the array with length as field

#

SphereCastNon alloc is SphereCastAll without alloc lol

#

basically you would declare how much you want allocated for example
private RaycastHit[] results = new RaycastHit[30]; // 30 is plenty for some use cases or even less

#

some non-alloc will want to declare them as Collider[] instead, always check the docs

#

they always return an int aka the amount actually found

rough venture
#

Thank you so much for the great explanation

#

One last thing though 😅 If the player (blue) does a spherecast at its position, will the read object hidden behind the green wall be registered? or what?

image.png
rich adder
#

yes

#

you would do an additional raycast to check if between you and red is wall

#

oh nvm that you said spherecast not overlap

#

it works just like a ray (a thicc one :P)

#

it will hit wall and stop

rough venture
#

Ah, alright. I was wondering about that

#

So overlapsphere if I want all colliders within the sphere?

rich adder
#

yeah overlaps I usually use for "whats around me" then check for wall blocking visions with ray

#

or maybe an explosion, etc

rough venture

Perfect. Thanks once again. I feel ready to get to work

Hello. I have added a movementDisabled bool to my Player Movement script, so that I can disable the movement in certain coroutines.

or you can do

I'm slowly but surely getting the hang of what to do for the board but I'm having 2 problems. The player won't go to certain nodes that are neighbors to the one they are next to sometimes and the player won't move the given dice roll but can only move one space at a time as well as the debug shows it twice with one right and the other not what was shown on the die. How do I fix these problems?

if those neighbor nodes aren't randomly chosen, then it won't let them go there

Also, when debugging, output some actually useful information, not just strings

wtf 😭

short hazel
#

You need &&

rich adder
#

use &&

#

this way if first one fails, it doesnt run second

short hazel
#

So it means attackMethods is null, if yours throw

errant pilot
#

now its false

#

so the second is the problem

short hazel
#

Either

#

your Action is null ?

errant pilot
#

my action is a method thats written

short hazel
#

Please use two separate logs, so the values are differentiated!

errant pilot
short hazel
#

Yes

errant pilot
#

Debug.Log(attackMethods[attack] != null);
this gives me the error

short hazel
#

And the first log? Gives you false or true?

errant pilot
#

Action means method no?

errant pilot
short hazel
#

Okay so the dictionary is null

errant pilot
#

but i initialise it no?

#

and i give it values in start

#

and it runs

short hazel
#

Yes but you call Attack on something that did not run Start

errant pilot

ie. Your other script is referencing the wrong instance

you are not calling the method on the prefab rather than the instance are you?

i've got a really stupid beginner problem
so i'm trying to make my stupid capsule jump with this code :

public class playerMovement : MonoBehaviour
{

    public Transform ptransform;
    [SerializeField] float xspeed = 1f;
    [SerializeField] float zspeed = 1f;
    [SerializeField] float jumpforce = 1f;
    

    private void FixedUpdate()
    {
        rb.velocity = (Input.GetAxis("Vertical") * xspeed * ptransform.forward.normalized) + (ptransform.right.normalized * Input.GetAxis("Horizontal") * zspeed);
        rb.AddForce(0f, jumpforce * Input.GetAxis("Jump"), 0f);
    }
}

the jump works alright i guess but the problem is that when it falls, it falls really slowly, i get what the problem is, setting the velocity to whatever that thing the y velocity 0 every update, so gravity doesn't do it's thing properly, but i really don't know how to get around it i could use some help on that

you can use 2 structs to iterate through it or add something and do .count

unity cannot serialize dictionaries, you'll need to use a custom solution if you want a dictionary to be visible in the inspector

You could just Vector3.MoveTowards to move it over time

#

For example, for each foot you could have an empty object (or a predefined Vector3) that marks the resting position of that foot

Then you can do leftLeg.localPosition = Vector3.MoveTowards(leftLeg.localPosition, leftLegRest.localPosition, Time.deltaTime * someSpeedMultiplier)

# polar acorn What is the problem with it?

I do not know how to combine the code. I used to have a container that my text display worked well with. But after adding a new system for loading and saving data, I had problems with this script, since the container can no longer be used, and the script itself, where my currencies are stored, cannot act as a container

rich adder
#

pretty sure unity/vs should warn you about that

#

use awake instead

inner quartz
rich adder
#

MonoBehaviours or UnityEngine.Object derived objects are handled by unity already hence Awake for initialization purposes

hey so i want to make game difficulty for my game and im guessing enums might work but i havent really used enums before do they only provide a list or can i set a enum to one of the choices?

}

slender nymph
#
  1. !code
  2. don't multiply mouse input by deltaTime, that is wrong because mouse input is already framerate independent so doing that multiplication just makes it dependent on the framerate again and leads to inconsistent and stuttery camera controls
  3. if the horizontal rotation is inverted then just subtract instead of add . . .

rigidbody with an initial velocity, continuous collision detection

    public void Fire()
    {
        if (lastShotTime == 0 || Time.time > (lastShotTime + (60 / fireRate))) {
            Rigidbody newBullet =  Instantiate(bullet, transform.GetChild(1).position, Quaternion.identity);
            newBullet.GetComponent<BulletScript>().setDamage(damage);
            newBullet.velocity = transform.forward * velocity;
            lastShotTime = Time.time;
            roundsRemaining--;
        }
    }

this is the code that handles that

steep rose
#

how fast are you shooting this rigidbody

#

and how small is it

#

from what im seeing, that looks like raycast bullets (from how fast they are going)

ancient karma
#

default capsule size, and by how fast do you mean how often or velocity?

swift elbow
#

velocity

ancient karma
#

80f

#

That might be insanely fast, I havent really figured out how to tune it into a good value

steep rose
#

are you calling Fire() in Update()?

ancient karma
#

Yes

#

or, kind of

steep rose
#

put it in FixeduUpdate()

ancient karma
# 
    void Update()
    {

        if (Input.GetMouseButton(1))
        {
            RaycastHit hit;
            Ray ray = camera.GetComponent<Camera>().ScreenPointToRay(Input.mousePosition);

            if (Physics.Raycast(ray, out hit))
            {
                this.transform.LookAt(hit.point);
                activeWeapon.transform.LookAt(hit.point);
                aimLine.enabled = true;
                aimLine.SetPosition(0, activeWeapon.transform.GetChild(1).position); //x,y and z position of the starting point of the line
                aimLine.SetPosition(1, (hit.point + new Vector3(0,0,0))); //x,y and z position of the end point of the line
            }

            if (Input.GetMouseButton(0))
            {
                attack();
            }
        }
        else
        {
            aimLine.enabled = false;
        }
    }

    void attack()
    {
        activeWeapon.GetComponent<WeaponScript>().Fire();
    }
steep rose
#

put attack() in FixeduUpdate()

#

you put all rigidbody related items in there

#

since it is on the physics update

#

and it is also framerate independant

ancient karma
#

I should probably also do that with my player controller too right, since its rigid body forces

steep rose
#

so 80f is actually more like 1000f due to Update being frame dependant

ancient karma
#

oh lordy

#

I see now

steep rose
#

and it will change on how much or how little your framerate is

hey so for my game i want to proceduraly generate the levels so i can make it endless and the game is basically there are squares you can grapple onto to swing and every once and a while there are walls and im really not sure how i can make it so the squares and walls are generated via code.
here is a image of what a hand made tiny portion of a level for testing looks like

#

and X within the cameras view

amber spruce
#

yeah but how would i do that 1 endlessly and 2 how do i deal with making them because i dont want to have it like 1 is made every second because if you go to fast then some might not form but if i just have them go without a cooldown the whole screen eventually will be full of them

deft grail
#

so they are always visible to the player if he goes forwards

amber spruce
#

like i dont want it to just generate 1 every x amount of time

Im making a spaceship that shoots (prefab) bullets (Bullets is named Cannon)

frosty hound
#

I always wonder why people never acknowledge the answer, but have no trouble being redirected to another channel.

surreal pecan
#

but... how do you do this without showing it in the scene???

frosty hound
#

I don't know what you're talking about. The issue is you have no object in your scene called Cannon, yet you are GameObject.Find("Cannon")....

#

It's not finding it, thus it's throwing an error when you try to GetComponent<Transform>() off of a non-existent object.

surreal pecan
frosty hound
#

That has nothing to do with your error

#

If you're following some tutorial, I suggest doing it properly?

my bad, this is assuming line 10 is hit

The other possibility is that line 10 is throwing an exception

and line 10 is fine

Then line 11 is also running

You're mistaken

queen adder

Is there a way to check if a mesh collider fully engulfed another collider?

wintry quarry
#

If they are all contained, you can say it's "fully engulfed"

#

it's not perfect - but a good estimate

queen adder
#

yea, im currently doing that, just transforms that does pointoverlaps (raycast with no direction)

wintry quarry
#

raycast won't work

queen adder
#

but it feels ugly

#

why?

#

is it different in 3d?

wintry quarry
#

Yes

#

Notes: Raycasts will not detect Colliders for which the Raycast origin is inside the Collider

queen adder
#

oh I see

wintry quarry
queen adder
#

Dont know that one

wintry quarry
#

But yeah for 3D to check for a point overlap you would do this:

bool PointOverlapsCollider(Collider c, Vector3 point) {
  Vector3 closestPoint = c.ClosestPoint(point);
  return closestPoint == point;
}```
#

This takes advantage of the fact that ClosestPoint will return the same point we input if it's inside the collider

I'm a bit confused on manipulating translations in relative space through code. I'm trying to make a sliding door, this is the code I've got.

    private bool sensorActive = false;
    [SerializeField] private GameObject leftDoor;
    [SerializeField] private GameObject rightDoor;
    private Vector3 leftDoorTarget;
    private Vector3 rightDoorTarget;
    public float openSpeed = 2f;

    // Start is called before the first frame update
    void Start()
    {
        leftDoorTarget = leftDoor.transform.position;
        rightDoorTarget = rightDoor.transform.position;
    }
    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update()
    {
        leftDoor.transform.position = Vector3.Lerp(leftDoor.transform.position, leftDoorTarget, Time.deltaTime * openSpeed);
        rightDoor.transform.position = Vector3.Lerp(rightDoor.transform.position, rightDoorTarget, Time.deltaTime * openSpeed);
    }

    void openDoor()
    {
        leftDoorTarget = leftDoor.transform.position + new Vector3(0, 0, -2);
        rightDoorTarget = rightDoor.transform.position + new Vector3(0, 0, 2);
    }   
    void closeDoor()
    {
        leftDoorTarget = leftDoor.transform.position + new Vector3(0, 0, 2);
        rightDoorTarget = rightDoor.transform.position + new Vector3(0, 0, -2);
    }

    void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other)
    {
        if (other.CompareTag("Player")) {
            sensorActive = true;
            openDoor();
        }
    }

    private void OnTriggerExit(Collider other)
    {
        if(other.CompareTag("Player"))
        {
            sensorActive = false;
            closeDoor();
        }
    }

That seems to translate it on the global Z axis though. I've been looking at the docs on TransformDirection but I dont understand how it gets used

#

local Z axis should be the correct direction to open in always since its relative to the parent, if I understand that correctly

wintry quarry
#

It's assigning a value to some variables you have

#

And it's using world space positions to do so

ancient karma
#

whoops, forgot some context

wintry quarry
#

You should show the rest of the code

wintry quarry
#

If you want to move objects relative to their parents you would use localPosition instead of position

ancient karma
#

ah! thats what I was missing

#

yup, went to that and it works perfectly

#

I was looking at all sorts of transform methods and stuff. What a simple solution. Thanks for the help

eternal needle

Thats a good idea. I just did something similar for the close position because I found that it didn't fully close if I entered and exited the trigger repeatedly too quickly

C# compiler generally likes UTF-8-encoded source files, so saving as UTF-8 would be fine.

resave this file as Unicode in order to maintain your data

#

Just "Unicode" is ambiguous, could mean UTF-8, UTF-16, etc.

#

Sometimes platforms can cry about it too, when you switch between win and mac or something, but if you are workin on your own anyways, you can just convert them

#

Line endings are a different matter

Encoding issue is orthogonal to platform's line ending preference

I have this weird issue with sprite scrolling. This script works perfectly fine, besides the Awake function. In it, it's supposed to set a random initial value to the scroll of any axis where it's intended, as in set in the public imageScrollSpeed variable. The value changes to what it should, even while incrementing it, but the offset is not applied, only the small changes in the Scroll function. Why is this happening?
