#

i'm constantly adding a force to an object, yet it's not constantly speeding up. i'm confused because i thought constant force = constant acceleration = constant speed up?

rocky canyon
#

Check the Drag property on your Rigidbody. If it's not zero, the force will continuously be counteracted by drag, which might limit how much the object speeds up.

#

but you are correct.. constant force will continually speed up, once it breaks thru friction

I made a trail renderer attach to the mouse, similar to fruit ninja – where it only slashes on clicks – but it only works in orthygraphic camera (because it omits the z-value to create the trail). But the problem is it ONLY works in orthographic camera. is there a way to get it to work with perspective camera? I am making a 3d game in unity and i am trying to use it to attack 3d monsters to progress through the stage

#

Im rusty with unity, i normally use ue, but i can clarify better if i need to

Hello,
I don't understand when I declare the variable and assign it the instance, when I call the input function, it doesn't work but call directly with the instance, it works well

using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.InputSystem;

public class DialogueTrigger : MonoBehaviour
{
    [SerializeField] private Dialogue dialogue;

    private bool isInRange;
    private DialogueManager dialogueManager;

    private void Awake()
    {
        dialogueManager = DialogueManager.instance;
    }

    public void InputDialogue(InputAction.CallbackContext context)
    {
        if (isInRange)
        {
            //dialogueManager.StartDialogue(dialogue);
            DialogueManager.instance.StartDialogue(dialogue);
        }
    }
#

When I use the dialogueManager variable, I have this error ```c#
NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object
DialogueTrigger.InputDialogue

How do I learn without being in tutorial hell

# cerulean tulip How do I learn without being in tutorial hell

depends on how much you already know
it's usually recommended to do 3 simple tutorial games so you learn what unity can do
then after that just think of a simple game you want to make, keep it short & small, then build your game, you can watch tutorials, but don't follow them anymore, watch first, then do yourself after you're done watching the tutorial, if you just keep following tutorials you will never actually learn how to do it

#

tutorial hell is really not a thing unless you allow it to be

cerulean tulip
#

Is that tutorial hell?

topaz mortar
#

you need to understand code, not remember it

#

you use tutorials to understand how you do something
then you use your own brain and look up how tools & functions work to use them yourself

#

for example, you want to spawn 10 monsters
you go find a tutorial that shows you how to spawn monsters, the tutorial uses a for loop
it's critical that you do not learn that for loop by hard or copy/paste it, once you know you need a for loop, you close the tutorial
then you open google and look up how a for loop works in C# and you write it yourself, that's how you learn

#

the reason you do it like this is because the next time you need a for loop for something else, blindly copy/pasting it or typing it from memory won't work, since you don't need it for exactly the same thing
you need to understand why you're using a for loop, what that for loop does and how it works
so the next time you need one, you know what it's for and how to use it

eternal needle
# cerulean tulip But what if I just remember the code?

if you dont understand the fundamentals, you'll struggle the entire journey spending a day for something that should be an hour of work.
think of even like learning math. for example if you're asked to solve the area of a circle you're not just gonna remember "radius 1 means its pi" and so on for every number. you would learn the actual equation

#

if you understand what the code does, you can apply it elsewhere

willow scroll
#

I remember watching tutorials some time ago, and trying so hard to remember the shown multiple times line of code "text.SetText(scoreText.ToString())". It's much better if you understand how this code works, rather than what it does

#

guys, is there a way to make isTrigger work on specific objects only, and not the others?

#

i was told to ask it in this channel

near wadi
#

show the code you are using for the trigger at this point

static wasp
#

i want the isTrigger off, except for a certain group of objects

near wadi
#

.. this is something i would do in code. maybe there are layers, or some other way, but i am not aware of it

static wasp
near wadi
static wasp
near wadi
#

well, pretty sure it is. i think you just do not grasp the basics yet?

static wasp
#

in that discussion, he wants to check if it triggered objects, i don't want it to check, i want it to make the collision isTrigger for some objects only

#

or the opposite

#

i want the player to have isTrigger while colliding, but not with the floor

near wadi
#

ok, i think it is going to trigger (barring layers or some other technique) on anything that it is capable of triggering with. then, what you want to control is what it does with that info. lets say your trigger opens a door. well, then you could use if statements in your code to say, 'pseudocode' if that thing that just trigger the trigger was the thing that i Want to be able to trigger the trigger that Open the Door. else, Do Nothing, or something else

#

beyond that, i will leave it to people who know more than me, and your own googles

static wasp
near wadi
#

no. a trigger is a trigger. who cares what triggers it. but if the thing that registered as triggering it is not the thing you want, then tell the trigger to do nothing

#

or i am just not understanding what you are trying to accomplish

static wasp
near wadi
#

Multiple colliders perhaps then? i do not think it can be both, by my experience there is very limited. and probably back to the regular chat room, since yeah, this did not go the code route as expected

static wasp
topaz mortar
#

what's the usecase anyway for needing a trigger? why not just use the collider functions?

#

another option is to turn off gravity for that object

static wasp
topaz mortar
#

so just add a secondary empty object with a trigger collider

static wasp
#

oh wait

topaz mortar
#

you keep the original collider?

static wasp
#

i think i understand what you mean

topaz mortar
#

but I don't understand why you don't just use the collision functions instead of the trigger functions then?

static wasp
#

do you mean like, make the first object ignore collisions for specific objects, but the second object which is at the same location acts as a trigger?

#

is that what you mean

topaz mortar
#

if that's what you need? I don't know what this is for

#

and it seems like bad design

#

why do you need a trigger instead of a collision?

ruby python
#

Just wondering, what is the virtue/benefit (If any), of using a list of Transforms over using an array of Transforms?

static wasp
short hazel
topaz mortar
#

use a collider, remove all the layers you don't want it to collide with

ruby python
short hazel
#

Yes

ruby python
#

Okay, cool. Thank you 🙂

static wasp
# topaz mortar so use layers

forgot to mention that the objects that move through it also collide with it, just those objects are still able to move through it

topaz mortar
#

so yeah, just keep the regular collider, remove everything except the floor
then add a secondary trigger collider

static wasp
topaz mortar
#

why would it be slow?

static wasp
#

might cause some lag

topaz mortar
#

what is many?

static wasp
#

maybe more

#

i still don't know exactly how much

topaz mortar
#

hmm, really depends on what you're doing, could be fine

I'm building a 3d tower defense game.
I have a hex grid, monsters use A* to find their way to the target walking over the hexes
When I click a hex, I build a tower on it, making it unwalkable
What's a good way to make all my monsters recalculate the path?
Is the event system a good usecase for this? Is it fast enough?

steep rose
#

if you are using the unity built in AI nav you can do that built in

eternal needle
topaz mortar
#

hmm need to think about it some more
each monster can be at different location, so they might have different paths after a tower is built
so I need a way for each monster to individually calculate their new path

#

My idea was to draw a main path and then recalculate that when a tower is placed
Monsters will then just try to find the quickest path back to that main path

#

What I'm asking for is how to have each individual monster recalculate their path when I place a tower

#

I was thinking of throwing an event when I place a tower
All monsters would be listening for that event and recalculate their path when it's triggered

willow scroll
#

Throwing an event is the best way to do it

#

Are you referring to the mathematical version of vector?

cerulean tulip
willow scroll
#

In mathematics, as previously mentioned, since vector is written as AB, with the start at A and end at B, you can clearly read its direction. Unity's Transform doesn't have the direction property, although it has forward, right and up to represent its direction based on its rotation

cerulean tulip
#

nvm I think I'm just confusing my self

It's just where something is pointing right?

how can i get a varible from a other script it is public

public float level; this is the var i already have it

i cant find it on google

#

If it's inside of the MonoBehaviour, you need to either make is a Singleton, if it's some kind of Manager (e.g. GameManager), make it static, this way no object reference is needed, or get the reference to your MonoBehaviour in another class by e.g. serializing it in the inspector or getting the Component from another object

cerulean tulip
#

And it will rotate if the player rotates?

willow scroll
#

From my experience, most frequently, non-singleton scripts don't have variables to be accessed by other scripts

guys is there a way for me to pause my script for 5 seconds? like the script doesent do anything for 5 seconds

languid spire
sharp sigil
#

but i have the script do nothing for 5 secs how do i explain that

steep rose
#

coroutine

#

use one

cosmic dagger
languid spire
#

to start with are you talking about a script or a method on a script?. Little details like that

sharp sigil
#

thank you

#

a whole script

languid spire
steep rose
#

you can pause sections

sharp sigil
#

ill try the coroutine

steep rose
#

you can make another script to turn off the script using a coroutine

#

if you want, but theres no need

languid spire
#

even then public methods are still executable

cosmic dagger
# sharp sigil a whole script

you'll need a bool variable to flip in order to stop execution . . .

-# NOTE: you can only stop Update methods from executing; any outside script calling a public method or accessing a public member will still take place.

languid spire
#

So you would need to add a bool into every method to stop it's execution

If there is a better way than using Coroutines, I will be glad to hear!

cosmic dagger
torn marlin
#

oh I deleted the message

#

sorry ;)

cosmic dagger
#

@torn marlin a coroutine will work as well, but you'd need to know the length of the clip to yield the coroutine. an animation event will automatically call the (public) method on the script when the time reaches the event . . .

# cyan crag ok so now i just cant test my game

If deleting library didn't help, I would try making a new project in a newer unity version and testing that. Then you can just import all of your assets from your old project into your new one

animation events are simple and easy to use. i'd try that first . . .

both the scripts are in same gameobject btwnotlikethis

#

uhh but I still need to return the total time of animation

cosmic dagger
# torn marlin how do you refactor your code?

i only refactor when i need to, but my style is a bit different. i like building systems and mechanics—or at least, learning how to. it's use a modular (component-based) approach when creating scripts called composition. you stack individual scripts to create the entity . . .

torn marlin
#

thanks!

cosmic dagger
cosmic dagger
# torn marlin

i would subscribe to events in OnEnable and unsub in OnDisable . . .

torn marlin
#

now it will be better to use an action rather than an event

torn marlin
#

thanks

cosmic dagger
#

grabbing internal references (components on the GameObject) is best done in Awake and grabbing external references (components from other GameObjects) is best done in Start . . .

I really didnt knew that difference

I always had this in mind that awake and start had something to do with call time difference

Elaborate.

pulsar meteor
modest dust
#

What exactly isn't working?

#

Which piece of code?

pulsar meteor
#

the e interact on the item doesnt do anything

modest dust
#

And what are you trying to do and what is the result?

pulsar meteor
#

that de text changes from the canvas

modest dust
#

Does the Interact() method from NPCInteractable get called?

pulsar meteor
#

i think so

modest dust
#

Don't think so, check it

pulsar meteor
#

if (collider.TryGetComponent(out NPCInteractable npcInteractable))
{
npcInteractable.Interact();

            }
modest dust
#

Add a Debug.Log into it and confirm it

pulsar meteor
#

it does get called

#

the first text works but the second doesnt work

modest dust
#

Is the uiText located on a GameObject under Canvas1?

#

Because you're explicitly setting it inactive one line above changing the text

pulsar meteor
#

i think i found it

modest dust
#

And?

pulsar meteor
#

but i cant ad scripts

#

[SerializeField] private ItemInteract itemInteract; this is that little code

modest dust
#

Obviously, you can only add instances of this class, not scripts

#

Same as with your Canvas1, Canvas2 and uiText

pulsar meteor
#

how can i ad scripts

modest dust
#

You cannot.

pulsar meteor
#

oke

modest dust
#

What you're looking for is referencing a specific class instance

#

If it's somewhere on your scene / is a prefab and always the same, then just drag it into the field

#

Otherwise think of a method to provide your NPCInteractable instance with an appropriate instance of ItemInteract

Hi! I've got an question that I'm not sure about how to solve it the best. I have an chunk generation for my game that works async with the unity job system. Once a chunk is finished generating I instanciate all the corresponding gameobjects in update() the next time it gets called. However, Instanciating multiple chunks at the same time causes some major laags in that frame because instanciating is very expensive. My approach would be to use coreroutines to only generate one chunk at a time. My question is, is there a way to automatically determine how long the current frame took and pass depending on the frametime the work to the next frames? So as many objects get instaciated at the same frame as possible without risking to cause laags?

Explain "doesn't work"

i dont know what but it doesnt sent the singnal to the other classes

#

if (collider.TryGetComponent(out NPCInteractable npcInteractable))
{
npcInteractable.Interact();

#

this 1

modest dust
#

Then debug it

pulsar meteor
#

i did i know the probloem dont now how to fiks the problem

modest dust
#

Also consider printing out text that actually means something

# 
foreach (Collider collider in colliderArray)
{
  Debug.Log($"Player interaction detected {collider.gameObject.name}");
  ...
}
#

Check if it's detected first

#

If it is, check if the detected object actually has NPCInteractable component on it

#

If it doesn't, check if it has a detectable collider

pulsar meteor
#

the with thing is my npc

modest dust
pulsar meteor
#

yes

modest dust
#

And it's not detecting it I guess

pulsar meteor
#

wait in the wrong spot

gilded stag
modest dust
#

So is it detecting it or not?

pulsar meteor
#

i get the error only by the npc

image.png
#

and yes

modest dust
#

Yes, because your itemInteract is null.

pulsar meteor
#

but i dont now wats is wrong with my script

#

then

modest dust
#

Exactly what I just said

pulsar meteor
#

the npc is detected

modest dust
#

You're trying to call CanGetItem() on itemInteract but itemInteract is not assigned to anything

pulsar meteor
#

yes it is

#

(out NPCInteractable npcInteractable

modest dust
#

Dear lord

#

Are you even reading?

#

I'm talking about itemInteract, not npcInteractable

#

You even sent a screenshot of the field being unassigned earlier

pulsar meteor
#

yea i am reading its just i am trying fikxing myselff also

modest dust
#

Then start with assigning that field to something

pulsar meteor
#

to what i cant do the script and i cant at the item

modest dust
#

Screenshot the item you're trying to drag into that field

pulsar meteor
#

just the only thing i can at

modest dust
#

Seeing the inspector would be nice.

pulsar meteor
modest dust
#

Then drag that into the field

pulsar meteor
#

i did

modest dust
#

Show it

pulsar meteor
#

now it worked

#

#

the text doesnt change but i think i know how to fiks

the change text function

steep rose
#

Text.text = "something";?

imagine 100 crystals/coins pickup items spinning... now you have 100+ update loops running (assuming they're near by player)

Instead of 1 update loop that rotates all of them, all you need to offset each one beginning rotation so they all spin with variance

yeah very good usecase is also AI for almost all things lol

valid points / targets, actions

steep rose
#

yeah currently i have a random int and it uses that int to give the Bot a position to rotate to and to go too

#

im thinking of making it so if the point is higher on the y axis than a threshold and the current position of the Bot, then make the Bot jump to reach the point

Okay, here's a new video of the issue with Logs.

If you watch the video, at the end I go through the affected objects. The logs say that the positioning is correct etc. but the inspector and the scene view tells a different story. I'm really confused as to what's happening.

(Apologies for the bit of faff before I switch to 'local' mode, Unity keeps defaulting back to global.

A while ago I was given this code to use for an interaction system...I'm struggling to remember by whom I was given it by, but I think it was @rich adder

public class Interactable : MonoBehaviour
{
    public UnityEvent OnInteract;

    public void Interaction()
    {
        OnInteract.Invoke();
    }
}

My question is, has something changed with the way Unity does events in c# because this is no longer working that way I remember (I could be remembering wrong and missing something completely obvious, but it no longer works in my old project where I first used it. 😕

I dont know if its for beginner, but my methods dont work when I build my game but they are perfectly fine in the editor

# cyan crag can someone tell me why my cylinder isnt appearing when i click a button like a ...

do you have a log shown? for Debug.Log("Cylinder enabled.");?

       if (cylinder != null && spawnPoint != null)
        {
            // Enable the cylinder and move it to the spawn point
            cylinder.SetActive(true);
            cylinder.transform.position = spawnPoint.position;
            cylinder.transform.rotation = spawnPoint.rotation;
            isCylinderEnabled = true; // Set flag to prevent re-activation during cooldown
            Debug.Log("Cylinder enabled.");
        }
        else
        {
            Debug.LogWarning("Cylinder or SpawnPoint is not assigned.");
        }
cyan crag
#

no i dont

#

its prob the colliders?

finite dove
#

or even does this function is called? EnableCylinder();

if ((other == leftHandCollider || other == rightHandCollider) && !isCylinderEnabled)
        {
            if (other.gameObject == cubeButton)
            {
                EnableCylinder();
            }
        }
cyan crag
#

i only know a little coding

#

thats all

finite dove
#

ok when you run the games does one of this debug. is shown on your console

Debug.LogWarning("Cylinder or SpawnPoint is not assigned.");

Debug.Log("Cylinder enabled.");
cyan crag
#

No

#

none of the debug logs are shown

finite dove
# cyan crag none of the debug logs are shown

ok then we can add another debug on the collider.

// Example
Debug.Log($"Other : {other.name}")
if ((other == leftHandCollider || other == rightHandCollider) && !isCylinderEnabled)
        {
            if (other.gameObject == cubeButton)
            {
                EnableCylinder();
            }
        }

on this part of code, Add Debug for this

other.name 
and also add this 
!isCylinderEnabled
cyan crag
#

ok

#

i added a few stuff so

#

its not done yet tho

finite dove
# cyan crag ok

as long as you dont add a new logic/validation that related to your problem in your code that you shared earlier it's fine.

cyan crag
#

wdym?

finite dove
cyan crag
#

ok

finite dove
#

yes correct, now when you run, can you show me the debug result

cyan crag
#

yes

#

lemme test rn

ill send pics of the debug logs

no debug logs

all i get

errmm is this for AR/VR thing? i havent got to playaround with it. so i dont know how to answer it.

# cyan crag this

yes im aware and i dont know how to answer it, cause i dont have any experience with it UnityChanOops

cyan crag
#

frick

finite dove
# cyan crag frick

but i assume it's same like 2D or 3D one, then you need to make sure your gameobject collider works first. the one that have MyActor Script. once you do that then make sure the Debug Log shown on your console. UnityChanCelebrate

        if (Wheel1.angularVelocity.magnitude < 2) {
        Wheel1.AddRelativeTorque(Vector3.right * speed * 100f);
        }
    }

    public void rotate(float speed)
    {
        Debug.Log(otherPlayer_rb.angularVelocity.magnitude);
        if (otherPlayer_rb.angularVelocity.magnitude < 1f)
        {
        otherPlayer_rb.AddRelativeTorque(-Vector3.up * speed * 100f);
        }
    }

Here's a video with details on what's going on.
I guess it's a problem of fixedjoint setting or something because the whole model rotates with the wheel, meaning the whole model and the wheel are depending on each other

#

could be because I don't use wheelcollider which I highly doubt

steep rose
#

but like i said you probably want to look into using a wheelcollider or raycast/spherecast based wheels

#

you could use hinge joint as well

queen adder
#

ooooh didn't know we have OnBecameInvisible and OnBecameVisible, this is handy

frank flare
#

because before messing with wheels I want to have at least something working

#

I tried using configurable joint but there's too much of stuff there

rocky canyon
#

unity's wheel colliders are a PITA..

#

use simulated wheels/ raycasts

frank flare
rocky canyon
#

it depends tho tbh.. if u want a realistic car controller u might want to use wheel colliders and just brute force thru tuning them to work for you

#

if ur going more for an arcade feel i'd definately do raycasts and forces

#

my example is super primitive tho.. theres alot u could do to make it more realistic.. i was just having fun w/ the bouncey spring suspension lol

frank flare
#

well I don't even really know how to make a game so I guess everything working somewhat nice would be ok for me, I will just use hinge joint then add wheel colliders on wheels

rocky canyon
#

yea, then ur still in the learning process.. try out everything

#

get a feel for what works for u.. and try to lean into that

steep rose
#

I would suggest a raycast/spherecast suspension/wheels

#

they are way better imo

steep rose
#

i gave you the Documentation for it

how do i scale my game to a normal scale? Each time i create a object such as a scroll view its always 100x bigger than my character.

silk night
#

I think the default cube is just 1x1 pixel

#

And if you import an image that will be huge compared to that 1x1

deft grail
#

so it will be bigger

#

you need to zoom out to edit UI

#

your game is inside the camera view, the Canvas (ui) is a lot bigger

        yRot += mouseX;

Theres other code in the camera but its irrelevant

teal viper
#

It is relevant - Where is it called from?

queen adder
#

Im assuming im gonna have to find a way to make the gun update before the camera somehow

One thing you could try is modifying the execution order of the scripts such that the camera is updated earlier.

Okay, thats probably it

That actually worked, changing execution order is very simple.

I am new to unity, but have professional experience as a software engineer. I'm struggling to find guides or tutorials for implementing a fps character controller that look high-quality (everything looks very simplified and poorly structured sot that beginners can understand). And tutorials that are up to date, i.e using the latest input system and delta time usages.

#

cant find it on github repo

why must i rely on amateur youtubers for this

Also Camera and/Or Cinemachine for your camera control

As I said, you should not need to be told how to learn

eternal needle
# fickle halo so first time ever unity user, which api docs do I read on how to make an FPS WA...

When i was just starting out, I'd skim over a few tutorials just to see what exists relevant to what I want. You're at the stage where that's pretty much all you should be learning. What exists, and what it's used for.
It's so incredibly unlikely to find any guide on making exactly what you want for movement. Unity's docs will have very simple examples to show the methods. A lot of the time that code isnt even great

Yes you can put any type for an extension method

In your case the parameter would be this MonoBehaviour mb

fickle halo

I have it in a static class

still, my script files dont find it

If you're calling the extension from a MonoBehaviour itself, you need to do this.TheExtensionMethod()

Because extensions are lowered down by the compiler to YourExtensionsClass.TheExtensionMethod(this)

Not found as in you get a compiler error? Or you don't get the log

fickle halo
#

does not contain a definition for 'Log' and no accessible extension method 'Log'

#

also it is crucial that I can type this as Log and not this.Log, otherwise I will just abandon the approach

#

is that not possible?

short hazel
#

Ah yeah it's probably because you're calling it from MyScript, so it searches an extension that is declared as this MyScript.
You can make the method just static (non-extension), and put using static MonobehaviorExtensions; at the top

#

Then you'll be able to use Log() directly

languid spire
#

works perfectly

public static class Extensions 
{
    public static void Log(this MonoBehaviour monoBehaviour, string message)
    {
        Debug.Log($"{monoBehaviour.GetType().Name}: {message}", monoBehaviour.gameObject);
    }
}

public class MyScript : MonoBehaviour
{
    // Start is called before the first frame update
    void Start()
    {
        this.Log("Steve");
    }

}
short hazel
#

Yeah that actually works, so your issue is somewhere else

fickle halo
#

ugh csharp keeps formatting my curly braces

#

I have editorconfig turned on

#

which normally takes priority

short hazel
fickle halo
#

@short hazel @languid spire OK but i actually need this to be a property, like a getter. No () invokation

#

unity is complaining about that

short hazel
#

A property that logs when you set it? Like Log = "my message";?

fickle halo
#

no its not actually parameterized and isnt a log

#

its a constant number

#

well not a constant numbe

#

im making an alias delta for Time.deltaTime

#

I want to write delta instead.

#

delta => Time.deltaTime

#

so in a script

movement * speed * delta```
languid spire
#

so whats the probllem

    float delta { get { return Time.deltaTime; } };
short hazel
#

Take your static class and make a public static property: public static float Delta => Time.deltaTime;
Then with using static ... it'll work

fickle halo
# 
public static class CustomExtensions {

    public static float delta { get { return Time.deltaTime; } }```
short hazel
#

Note that this hurts readability since people not used to your codebase now have to look where delta comes from. I wouldn't recommend doing these things

fickle halo
#

I guess it doesnt need to be for monobehavior, but just globally accessible?

short hazel
#

It doesn't. You have to do using static CustomExtensions; everywhere you want to use it

fickle halo
#

right... in C# you make static classes with static methods to have toplevel functions. If forgot

languid spire
fickle halo
#

Yes I'm not a C# developer

short hazel
languid spire
#

so maybe learn it first

fickle halo
#

that is what i'm doing

languid spire
fickle halo
#

if your suggestion is to stop what im doing, tell my game dev team to pause for a few weeks while I go read a dry textbook on general C# constructs... then I think we have different learning styles and priorities

#

we're doing C# just to get unity working. we have no prior experience in it

#

but have worked in other enterprise OO languages.

languid spire
#

I think we have a different concept of what being a 'professional software engineer' actually means

fickle halo
#

i've never found that sort of resource an optimal learning strategy

#

learning as I build has always been what works for me. Can't just read books on a programming language in the abstract, never works (for me)

elfin hatch
#

how dare you be a beginner in a beginner channel... 🤔

#

Wasn't aware all beginners are professionals

fickle halo
#

I've worked professionally as a software engineer, I'm just new to Unity and C#. I can transfer most of my knowledge from other languages (typescript, scala, kotlin, python), just need to translate and google a bit. For sure, going through an entire C# course from scratch would not be optimal in my opinion (in terms of time spent)

elfin hatch
#

you probably know more than me, and if you're not welcome, I sure as hell wouldn't be.
I think he's confusing this channel with #archived-code-advanced

fickle halo
#

i agree the tone became abrasive quickly out of nowhwere, i appreciate your reassurance

#

anyway i probably contributed to it too.

elfin hatch
#

it made me feel unwelcome, when in reality I think a "beginner" channel is meant for us.

languid spire
fickle halo
#

in order for the extension method to hook onto MonoBehavior, there needs to be a this parameter in the signature

#

so I was confused when the other guy got rid of that

#

but then realized he was suggesting to ditch the "monobehavior extension" approach, and just create a global function

elfin hatch
languid spire
#

but this is C# basics, nothing to do with unity specifically which is why I directed you to the C# documentation

if the script isn't even in the scene, how is it causing the error?

keen dew
#

It's not really possible to say without seeing more of the code. But put this line before the line that throws the error and see what it says right before the error:

Debug.Log($"{name} in scene {SceneManagement.SceneManager.GetActiveScene().name} is trying to play audio");
neat bay
#

"SceneManagement"?

keen dew
#

Actually this is better:

Debug.Log($"{name} in scene {scene.name} is trying to play audio");
keen dew
neat bay
#

wait ok, now it says that the scene which isn't even loaded is trying to play audio?

image.png
#

what's the reason for this?

keen dew
#

Literally impossible to say without seeing the project

#

start debugging

short hazel
#

Note that if you have code like this:

Debug.Log(1);
SceneManager.LoadScene("otherScene");
Debug.Log(2);

The second log will run before the scene is loaded. LoadScene schedules the new scene for loading, which won't happen until next frame, meaning the rest of the code across the objects finishes executing first.

neat bay
#

wait even though this is really simple let me just double check, I'm loading the scene correctly here right?

SceneManager.LoadScene(0, LoadSceneMode.Single);
#

oh wait actually i think I understand

# 
private void OnEnable()
{
    if (!animatorManager.animator.GetBool("Death"))
    {
        if (playerControls == null)
        {
            playerControls = new PlayerControls();
            playerControls.Misc.PauseMenu.performed += ctx => PauseGame(); // Subscribe to the PauseMenu input event
        }

        playerControls.Enable(); // Enable the PlayerControls
    }
}

private void OnDisable()
{
    if (!animatorManager.animator.GetBool("Death"))
    {
        playerControls.Disable(); // Disable the PlayerControls
    }
}

So I have this code for my input system, would I have to call playerControls.Disable(); before unloading my scene or no?

#

because I only get the error when I try to pause

short hazel
#

If you don't want to respond to the event while the script/object is disabled then yes you need to unsubscribe

neat bay
#

ugh i feel dumb

#

thank you

#

it worked

short hazel
#

This will also ensure a proper cleanup when the object is destroyed when you call Destroy or the scene unloads

I'm making wall detection system based on the normal vector.

public bool IsWall(RaycastHit hit)
{
  float dotProdMapped = MathAE.Remap(-1,1,0,1,MathF.Dot(hit.normal,down.normalized)); //MathAE is just a static class with a remap function in it among other functions
  return dotProdMapped < 1-(tolerance / 360) ? true : false; //tolerance is an angle in degrees
}

though for this to work I'd need a bunch of raycasts sampling normals from all over to get an average.
is there an easier way to sample multiple normals in a given direction?

It might be a little ugly, but you could make the loop iterate till parts.length - 1 then add Destroy(parts[^1]) and Destroy(colliders[^1]) after the loop

queen adder
#

And I dont want to trouble any of you

short hazel
#

Or if you expect that all three arrays are the same lengths, and that it's not normal otherwise, then you could add an if statement before the loops that checks the lengths and throws an exception if that's not the case.

#

Or use a Debug.Assert() call to do that in one line

guys help im trying to make the bullet go to the midle but it goes a little left. here is the code

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

public class PlayerShoot : MonoBehaviour
{
    public Transform gunBarrel;
    private float bulletSpeed = 100f;
    public Camera playerCamera;

    public void Start()
    {
        target = GetComponent<Target>();
    }

    public void ProcessShoot()
    {
        Debug.Log("Player Shoot");

        GameObject bullet = GameObject.Instantiate(Resources.Load("Prefabs/Bullet") as GameObject, gunBarrel.position, gunBarrel.rotation);
        bullet.transform.Rotate(0, 0, 90);

        Ray ray = playerCamera.ScreenPointToRay(new Vector3(Screen.width / 2, Screen.height / 2, 0));
        Vector3 targetPoint = ray.GetPoint(1000);
        Vector3 direction = (targetPoint - gunBarrel.position).normalized;

        bullet.GetComponent<Rigidbody>().velocity = direction * bulletSpeed;
    }

    public void DamageTarget(int damageToTarget)
    {
        target.life = target.life - damageToTarget;
    }
}```
and here how it does please help

oh make sure to check collision detection to continous in the rigidbody

#

maybe continous collision detection will work with convex collider

#

mesh collider

#

ive had that sometimes i just go through colliders and with continous collision that never happens

he is not suffering from any tunneling issues as far as I'm aware

Im a bit confused, this did work before without the spoilable bool
the spoiable is true in the beginning, at first i thought i used it wrong since i only wrote & spoilable
languid spire
#

that will never have worked

quick cobalt
#

Weird, it did use the function though just unlimited

#

Whats wrong with it? Okay tbh it was >= 90 and <= 90 before

languid spire
#

nah, rotation is a Quaternion not Euler angles also never check a float for equality

quick cobalt
#

Yeah the description of Quaternion already scared me but i just wanted to check if it rotated

languid spire
#

rotation.z will not contain the values you are expecting

quick cobalt

Give me a hint where to look
