It's not a new code I used the same one, but here

    {
        if (Wizardthings == null)
        {

And the very first line of TheSequence is trying to do something with Wizardthings

WizardHitLine.cs

Why did you think I added c# public WizardHitLine WizardHitLine;

languid spire
#

this has a very, very bad smell about it

formal hill
languid spire
polar acorn
# formal hill What?

The code seems very poorly constructed. What's the point of having multiple different components and checking linePlaying or linePlaying2? Why are these different variables? Why are these different scripts?

umbral hull

wait , would something like this work?
timer script :

global timertime
void Update()
{
    remainingTime -= Time.deltaTime;
    int minutes = Mathf.FloorToInt(remainingTime / 60);
    int seconds = Mathf.FloorToInt(remainingTime % 60);
    timerText.text = string.Format("{0:00}:{1:00}", minutes, seconds);
    timertime = timerText.text;
}

movement script:

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
using timer.cs as timer

void update
{
  if timer.timertime == string.Format("{0:00"}, minutes,seconds)
  {
    endgame()
  }

Okay, so, your Player script does not have a variable of type timer

#

Make one

#

then you can drag in timer

polar acorn
umbral hull
polar acorn
#

you said this didn't work but it does

#

you've dragged in the timer object and now you can reference it's fields

umbral hull
polar acorn
#

It gives you a reference to that instance of timer

umbral hull
#

oh ok thanks

why can i not drag my image into a image field?

Hi! Is there a way for me to know if an animation clip has finished playing from Animator? like animator.GetCurrentStateInfo().IsFinished or something similar

#

I can create an event at end but it means i have to create event for every clip, if i have 100 clips i have to do it 100 times...

How do i go about changing the LOCAL x and z of an object?

#

Even with the rotation, when i change the X, Y and Z values, they change in world space instead of local

wintry quarry
#

therefore localPosition and world position are the same thing

brittle kelp
nocturne kayak
#

Huh

#

I assumed local position took into account rotation

wintry quarry
#

not of itself

#

if you want it to take its own rotation into account perhaps you're looking for transform.Translate(0.01f, 0, 0);

#

Or you can do transform.position += transform.right * 0.01f;

#

those would be more or less equivalent

#

(p.s. the this.gameObject. is unnecessary and makes your code harder to read)

ashen frigate

rich adder
#

oh you switched from ray to box

ashen frigate
rich adder
#

_isJumpPressed && (GroundCheck()

#

GroundCheck will not run if jump isn't pressed

#

keep GroundCheck() in update

#

or reverse them

#

(GroundCheck() && _isJumpPressed

nocturne kayak
#

one of the axis handles is tied to the main cube's transform

#

the other one isn't

ashen frigate
#

"if (_isJumpPressed && _grounded || _jumpCount < _maxJumpCount)" it was like this before but didnt work with the ray

wintry quarry
nocturne kayak
#

blue one behaves as expected, with the caveat that it's not muving purple

rich adder
wintry quarry
nocturne kayak
#

red one moves purple, but only on it's local z pos, and not a forward transform

nocturne kayak
ashen frigate
#

ive placed groundcheck in update

nocturne kayak
#

use red and blue as transform handles to move the cube on the X and Z axis

ashen frigate
#

does it do somthing ?

#

is it not the same ?

rich adder
# 
GroundCheck() && _isJumpPressed  // keep checking grounded, if grounded and Jump pressed do something

_isJumpPressed && GroundCheck() // only checking for JUMP press first, only if that's true then check Grounded n if thats true do something```
wintry quarry
#

by the amount and direction you would have moved red or blue

#

presumably they are children of it, so they will move automatically with it

ashen frigate
nocturne kayak
rich adder
#

also its probably this making it jump
|| _jumpCount < _maxJumpCount

nocturne kayak
#

The thing is, i'm using meta's sdk, and wanted to work around that, i don't know how i'd transfer the transform from the red\blue to purple at the same time i cancel red\blue movement

ashen frigate
rich adder
nocturne kayak
#

Well shit

# 
    void Start()
    {
        startTargetTransform = transformProxy.transform;
        startTransform = transform;
    }

    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update()
    {
        Transform updatedTargetTransform = startTargetTransform - transformProxy.transform;
        Transform updatedTransform = startTransform - transform;

    }
}
#

This returns an error because

#

apparently i can't subtract a transform from a transform?

deft grail
#

a Transform itself isnt the position

nocturne kayak
#

I don't want the position itself, i want the position relative to rotation, and as estabilished a tad earlier i can't do that with position alone

deft grail
#

so you cant subtract a transform from another transform

wintry quarry
#

Perhaps you're actually interested in the position of the objects?

nocturne kayak
#

I'm not, because that runs into the same problem from earlier where i'm moving along the world's position instead of taking into account rotation as well

deft grail
wintry quarry
#

to convert to and from local position

nocturne kayak
polar acorn
nocturne kayak
#

fair enough, then, how can i subtract transform values in such a way that localX doesn't become WorldX if an object isn't parented?

nocturne kayak
verbal dome
#

Local values are always the same as world values if it doesn't have a parent

polar acorn
#

What are you hoping to accomplish via subtraction? Do you just want to keep the object at the same relative position to another as if it were a child object?

nocturne kayak
#

i'm trying to get the delta transform and add it to an object

nocturne kayak
verbal dome
#

If you need a rotation difference you can do something like Quaternion diff = newRotation * Quaternion.Inverse(oldRotation)

nocturne kayak
verbal dome
#

I still don't understand what you need, and what am I supposed to be looking at in that video

nocturne kayak
#

I'm trying to use blue and red as transform handles for purple

#

Red moves it on it's x axis and blue on it's Z

#

Blue behaves as expected, moving on it's Z axis relative to the cube, with the caveat that, well, it doesn't move the cube

verbal dome
#

Link your current code

nocturne kayak
#

That's gonna be a handful.

#

I'm using Meta's SDK

#

Hold on

#

Each axis handle has one of these components

#

Which refers to a Grabbable component

#

Target transform for blue is itself, hence, it moves itself on an axis determined by the OGTT component

verbal dome
#

I believe that Vector3.Project would be handy when converting the handle's motion to a single axis

nocturne kayak
#

Let me read on that for a sec

#

Yeah, that does look quite handy

#

I'm gonna take a break, brain's scrambled right now

Hi I have just a simple script

void OnMouseDrag()
{
transform.position = Camera.main.ScreenToWorldPoint(Input.mousePosition);
}

The sciript is supposed to let me drag a image And it works I can drag it however whenever I drag it the image disappears but it’s still there

wintry quarry
#

pay attention to the Z axis you are setting to it

polar acorn
wintry quarry
#

also if this is a UI element - you shouldn't be using a world space position to move it, assuming it's in overlay mode.

polar acorn
#

Add an offset to the result

ivory bobcat

Do you ever call main?

and i am not understanding in where to place the script(which component)

Maybe consider changing "main" to Update

Hello, if anyone can help me, I tried to prevent my character to bury itself when it respawn after a fall, and for that I learned I had to make a routine to deactivate it before reactivate it, but I get an error message saying Object reference not set to an instance of an object. Can anyone know how to reactivate?

You need to attach the script to an object, and do the drag-drop there.

whole osprey
# jade tartan Hello, if anyone can help me, I tried to prevent my character to bury itself whe...

Dalphat is correct that Find by name is generally frowned upon for a lot of reasons.

The specific issue with your code is that the Find methods normally don't look at anything that is deactivated, so you deactivate it, then try to find it again and it can't find it.

The easiest way to get this to work with the code you have is to set the first Find result to a variable and then just refer to that variable when you want to reactivate it after the wait time.

timid ember
short hazel
#

Then select the "print" object in the Hierarchy

#

You'll see the script in the Inspector window, drag-drop the required Transform there

timid ember
#

i dragged the script onto print and made the capsule reference as cube

timid ember
short hazel
#

What you showed is the settings of the script itself

timid ember
#

yes

#

oh

#

i get it noe

#

now

#

who do i select on event syste,?

#

system

#

print or the cube?

rocky canyon
#

you select w/e gameobjec the script is attached to 🤔

short hazel
timid ember
#

i put it on cube, will it not affect whatsoever?

rocky canyon
#

just drag w/e Transform u want the code to use

short hazel
#

You need Object A to have a reference to Object B.
Select Object A to see its properties and the scripts attached to it, drag-drop Object B onto Object A's script

timid ember
#

its working

#

its working without it too

short hazel
#

Next time post a screenshot because it's very hard to understand what you mean and what your setup is

timid ember
#

ok

rocky canyon
# timid ember ```cs // namespace yo { public class the : MonoBehaviour { [Seri... 
{
    public class the : MonoBehaviour
    {
        [SerializeField] Transform Capsule;
        public void main()
        {
            if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.W))
            {
                Capsule.position += new Vector3(0, 3, 0) * Time.deltaTime;
            }
        }
    }
}```

unity c# is a bit different.. nothings going to happen here..
you need to use a function Unity understands.. like `Update()` for example
# 
{
//if press key do this
}```
timid ember
rocky canyon
#

well it depends.. there used for different things

#

Start runs once.. Update runs every frame

short hazel
#

They're all methods (functions) in the end, it's just that Unity recognizes and will run some of them for you.

rocky canyon
#

heres a list of them.. and when they're called

#

ofc u can create ur own functions..
say if u had

void Update() // <-- built in method Unity will run every frame
{
    Main(); // <-- since we call Main inside the Update it Will actually run every frame
}

void Main() // <-- custom method Unity wont run on its own
{

}```
#

then Main would run every frame..

#

you can scatter Debug.Log("just some words" + orMaybeAVariable); methods thru-out ur code to help visualize whats happening.. it'll print out in the Console window

hey im trying to change colours while the player is powered up, but i might be going about this the wrong way since my current method im 99% sure will cause a crash (while loop in update)

image.png
#

any ideas for how else to go about this? like what could i use instead of a while loop for instance

ivory bobcat
#

Why not just remove the while loop?

short hazel
#

It's not in Update, unless you changed its return type to IEnumerator

rancid tinsel
#

youre right

#

damn that was so simple

short hazel
#

In a coroutine, this will not freeze Unity since at least one yield is reached for all code paths in the loop

timid ember
#

are there any pins that specify super common problems

rancid tinsel
#

wait i can still use the wait for seconds outside of coroutines right?

rocky canyon
#

no

timid ember
verbal dome
#

But it's usually easier to troubleshoot when you already have a problem at hand

If you alter the object's scale to reduce the collider's size, then all its children will be affected too

#

You may just alter the collider's size instead

timid ember
vagrant fjord

Depends on which collider you're using

capsule collider and rigidbody if that helps

            }
        }
    }
}```
short hazel
#

If you read the error message, it'll give you a clue on what's the cause

timid ember
short hazel
#

You're looking at the script file's properties again

#

Instead of an instance of the script attached to an object in your scene

timid ember
#

f12 in vsc?

short hazel
#

No?

#

In Unity, from the Hierarchy, your objects in the scene are listed there

timid ember
#

yes

short hazel
#

One of these has the the script, and its Capsule variable is not filled in, so you get the error

#

Find it

timid ember
#

the script is under print

short hazel
#

Another instance of the script that doesn't have the cube dragged in it is somewhere else

#

Check other objects, you might have attached the script by accident

timid ember
#

ah

#

in the very beginning I put the code on main camera

I havent used Unity Learn but it has a sort of progression/xp system, right?

yes

Thanks bro

but remember you have google

#

anyone know why stateInfo.normalizeTime is never bigger equal than 1.0?

#

animation clip looping option is false

polar acorn
#

Looks like the Any State condition keeps being fulfilled and it keeps going back into it

#

It never gets further than half way

cunning raven
#

ahh, does it mean that if my SetBool is true, Any State will keep spamming the animation?

image.png
polar acorn
cunning raven
#

this is always true yes

polar acorn
#

If it's a one-and-done effect, you should use a trigger instead of a bool

#

it's basically a self-resetting boolean that goes back to off once it's used for a transition

cunning raven
#

oh thanks!!

#

how do i set condition to make it transit back?

image.png
#

i dont get any value for conditions

image.png
polar acorn
#

You probably don't want any conditions but exit time

#

to have it go there when the animation ends

cunning raven
#

it works a lot better now thanks! but sometime it play twice. if SetTrigger is already called, then call again will it restart?

jade tartan
polar acorn
deft grail
# cunning raven

you probably need a check to see if its already playing before you play it, if you havent done that yet

cunning raven
#

I tried to check if name is same but not sure if correct way to do it

deft grail
# cunning raven

idk if its different with whats this an animator script?
but if you reference normally an Animator it has a bool for if its playing

polar acorn
#

I think using a trigger and letting the animation exit time take care of exiting it is the way to go, unless you want the attack to chain into itself

cunning raven
#

I set exit time then call SetTrigger once but it sometimes still play twice

polar acorn

What calls Enter? You might be calling it twice

how to know if SetTrigger has finish playing? The animator has exit time and switch itself properly but this if statement is never true

Yep

tulip nimbus
#

For no apparent Reason at all my Compiler takes ages to compile even if i just change one line of code or one variable or anything at all.

#

What can i do?

verbal dome
#

How long?

tulip nimbus
#

~20 Seconds sometime

verbal dome
#

You might want to look into assembly definitions

#

So it only has to recompile the code in the assembly you modified

tulip nimbus
#

ill try that

#

👍

verbal dome
#

Oh and also, could try using the profiler in edit mode to see what takes so long

#

Unity has to reserialize/reload a bunch of stuff on recompile

#

It could be some heavy code in a ScriptableObject's Awake method or something similiar

nocturne kayak
#

Alright

#

i have SOME ammount of progress

#

now, the whole thing is double transforming due to the axis handler being a child of the object being translated

#

is there any script-side way to avoid that without changing the hierarchy?

#

this is the current code, it's running on the parent

there is another for really small numbers

tulip nimbus
#

When this Method is called, the Object which instantiates the BangVX prefab is just still. Is this because of the transform.position?

polar acorn
tulip nimbus
#

The Object which is excecuting this code to summon the prefab is using this code and only this code to move

121221.PNG
polar acorn
#

Or does the prefab have a script with this code on it?

tulip nimbus
#

just the object not the prefab

polar acorn
#

So, the object moves fine, and then when it spawns something, it stops moving?

tulip nimbus
#

jup, until i let go of the button that triggers the Method

#

and when it stops spawning the prefabs

Do you have any errors in your console?

I'm having an issue with my player movement, I'm checking in the logs that the script does work and no errors pop up, however when I hit play, the character does not move whatsoever, and this issue started happening (I think) when I attached animations to my player, however the animation plays out and Unity even recognizes the inputs and the values but it still doesn't work?

I want to make it so when I press a button, it adds string ThisCosmetic into another scripts list of strings, Cosmetics It Cart

polar acorn

it just looks like something is blocking it, based of looking at the velocity

drowsy oriole
polar acorn
deft grail
#

it should be 1

which would also explain the high values, but that shouldnt have anything to do with the movement itself if it worked before

#

oh

deft grail
# wanton cradle oh

i think what ill try is disable the character controller 2d, and write custom code in your playermovement script

#

reference your Rigidbody2D and do rigidbody.velocity = horizontalMove;

#

and see if that will work

#

and if even that doesnt work then i have no idea, might just need to start debugging things or make a new GameObject and see if that moves

wanton cradle

well something else popped up here

(Enabled is the call of the button being pressed)

id say just try making your own movement, if that doesnt work then make a new GameObject with just a cube sprite or something see if that works fine

I'm not entirely sure if that helps

polar acorn
#

I still don't know what you actually want to be happening

nocturne kayak
#

Exactly what's happening

#

just...

#

slower?

#

I put on a rough script so when you drag the child the parent moves, but well, since the parent moves, the child moves, and thus you get double transforming, i moved them individually later on to demonstrate at what speed they should be moving

#

This code's on the parent object

steep rose
#

you could divide/multiply it by an arbitrary number

#

to get the desired effect

polar acorn
#

You could use a ParentConstraint instead of having this object actually be a child object. Then when the "Child" object moves, you temporarily disable the parent constraint on the child, and enable one on the "Parent" that makes it a "Child" of this one

What I think I would do here is make a script for a MutualParentGroup that contains a list of every other object that'd be moved with it in this manner. Whenever this object moves, you would loop through that list and set each other object's ParentConstraint to be a "Child" of this, and disable this object's ParentConstraint. Then, when you stop moving it, re-enable this one and un-parent everything else

What's a good way to give unique IDs to scriptable objects? Just planning ahead for an RPG on how I want to save my items and I feel like it would take up less space to just refer to an item by ID. But I don't know how I'd do that. I could give each of them a unique number but that runs into the manual fact of me accidentally having two items with the same ID.

Best I can think of is maybe a script that holds a dictionary of items; with the key being the ID and the value being the item itself. I could also just use a list where the ID is the index of where the item is.

#

I also don't know if anything I'm saying is making any sense?

You would load the scene, fade the objects in, fade the objects out, then load the next scene.

how to do that depends on exactly what the objects are

Really having three separate scenes for a splash screen seems like overkill

It would be much easier to put them all in one scene. What are they, just images?

Just show each in sequence. You can use DOTween or write a coroutine for it.

If you don't understand the cause of an issue, you're bound to face it again.

nocturne kayak
# teal viper Do you understand why it didn't work?

Not entirely, there are so many moving pieces that if i attempt to debug it it would probably take months, since i'd have to get a good enough grasp on the basics of how the MetaSDK handles grabbling and transforming

This is the "latest" version so far

#

Why it does that when i grab it? who knows.

well

if it was lacking it'd be a hell of a lot more than what i've got

I would recommend the following:

  • First remove all the code that literally does nothing in this script. That includes the entire DisableTrigger function and all of your coroutines
drowsy oriole
#

I told you

#

ok

wintry quarry
drowsy oriole
#

I did it

wintry quarry
#

And then there's other code liek this that is nonsensical:

           IsEnabled = true;
            if(IsEnabled == true)
            {```
Obviously IsEnabled will be true given you JUST set it to true on the previous line. This if statement is pointless
drowsy oriole
#

Ok so, this is a button script. When the button is triggered, it is supposed to turn red to show it is enabled, change the text from "Add to cart" to "Remove from cart" and add the cosmetic item into your cart in which you can purchase the item.

wintry quarry
#

i.e. which function is hooked up to the button

#

Aside from that you're calling Enabled() at least twice every time OnTriggerEnter happens and every time EditorTest is running

drowsy oriole
#

Anything else?

wintry quarry
#

And - you should just add Debug,Log statements to your OnTriggerEnter and your EditorTest functions to see what's triggering Enabled() to run

drowsy oriole
#

the entire script goes active whenever the button is Enabled/Disabled

frosty hound
#

Which is when?

wintry quarry
#

Your script has nothing in Update and no other Unity callbacks other than OnTriggerEnter

#

so either OnTriggerEnter is running repeatedly, or you have other code calling this code, including a button listener

#

You said:

When the button is triggered, it is supposed to turn red to show it is enabled
I'm asking you to show how that is set up

#

And also to add those logs I mentioned, which may help answer that question

drowsy oriole
#

So, you press the button

public void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other)
    {
        if (other.tag == HandTag)
        {
            IsEnabled = true;
            check();
        }
    }

And then it turns red, Changes to ATC text (add to cart) and adds the cosmetic to your cart

public void Enabled()
    {
        CartText.text = "Remove from cart";
        ButtonRenderer.material = Pressed;
        CartMaker.CosmeticsInCart.Add(ThisCosmetic);
    }
wintry quarry
#

then we can easily see what's going wrong

wintry quarry
frosty hound
#

But also how is Enabled() being called

drowsy oriole
#

Idk how to add logs btw

wintry quarry
ivory bobcat
# 
Debug.Log($"Some important data");```
wintry quarry
#

Are we not doing "Hello, World!" anymore people? What happened??

teal viper
#

I think they were told many times to do proper learning.

drowsy oriole
#

Ok I added logs, now what do i do

#

@wintry quarry

frosty hound
#

Oh boy

#

Time to make a thread, I think.

Hey guys I would like that my game have a feature. Lets imagine I have a farm in the game.. and even tho the player left the game the farm will continue to produce.. is there a way to do that? Like the game saves the time the user closed the game. Time of this computer, and when the player come back it checks for the time and calculate how much he would have trainer or farmed even offline?

for now I think as u said.. the way I explained might work.. will try that later when i get there in the game..

#

thank you myf riend

eternal needle
#

theres not much you can do about it if you wanna keep the game offline is all

solemn fractal
#

really? hahaha i just thought that today and that idea came up.. but I am not woried with that.. first I need to finish the game and launch it.. that is still far

#

but anyways if they cheaat.. its offline game

#

people do what they want I dont care.

#

Imagine you download a single player game.. I guess nobody cares if you cheat right? but make sense what you said for sure. thank you!

Anything on the client side could probably be modified.

tulip nimbus
#

Apparently my script isnt saving right and i have to restart Unity in order for the script to take effect

#

what can i do?

#

The Script is also named differently for some reason once it is used as a component by an object. However the script is the same

#

are you certain you don't perhaps have two copies of the script file in your project where you've modified one of them but not the other?

verbal dome
#

Perhaps you are mixing up filenames and class names

tulip nimbus
hexed terrace
#

very unlikely

tulip nimbus
# hexed terrace very unlikely

yeah i just assumed as i was having terrible loading times that downloading a package would fix it, perhaps i did it myself

#

and dont remember haha

slender nymph
#

i imagine you did it yourself after you complained about your compiler taking time after changing single lines of code

tulip nimbus
#

yeah it was so late and i was frustrated that really could be

drowsy oriole
#

Once the button is on, it will not go off

frosty hound
#

You never set IsEnabled back to false

drowsy oriole
frosty hound
#

Anyway, I know how this will end and am not interested in spending time repeating and trying to get through. Good luck.

drowsy oriole
#

I fixed that

#

Watch the video, it shows my problem.

frosty hound
#

Not according to your code you didn't.

#

Your issue about it constantly filling up is because you have code in Update now for some reason. Update isn't needed here at all.

drowsy oriole
#

Oh, then how would you do it?

#

Btw leeme delete the Update

#

Ok I did it

frosty hound
#

I'm not continuing here, someone else can if they wish to spend the next few hours.

drowsy oriole
#

You're kinda rude for a Community Moderator who mind, Is supposed to be helping others and moderate the server

#

I don't have another few HOURS anyway

frosty hound
#

No, I'm supposed to moderate. Helping is a choice not an obligation.

drowsy oriole
#

Whatever. This server dosen't actually help people anyways

#

I have been here for days, and everyone jst ignored me

frosty hound
#

Well, I know why I have. I can't speak to everyone else though. Hopefully someone can pick up your issue when the server traffic speeds up later today.

Hello, guys! I have a question. So, I have made a cool rain effect for my game and I want to create a somehow realistic audio for it. For example, when my player is indoors to not hear at all the rain sound and when I am getting outdoors to hear it. I have tried to make it with OnTriggerEnter but I couldn't because I am using character controller which is not physics based like rigidbody. Can anybody help me with that?

#

I was thinking about game states like when I am indoors and outdoors as well

#

To make an Enum with these states

frosty hound
#

Create a child detector object with a rigidbody that does the detection

sage mirage
charred spoke
#

OnTrigger events should work with the CC no ?

frosty hound
#

I believe it will still trigger the events on other objects?

sage mirage
#

It's not physics based so i think no

frosty hound
#

Which, really, the audio should be handled by the other object anyway, not the player.

charred spoke
#

Afik OnTrigger events do work the the cc

#

Then again it’s been years since I used it.

frosty hound
#

Well, something to test I guess, I don't have my CC project on this PC.

sage mirage
#

Not from player controller script

frosty hound
#

I would put that on the trigger of the building, not the player. The player doesn't care about the rain/sound.

sullen perch

I want to make it so that if i have a certain amount of coins that the scene changes, i dont know much about unity but i have this.

That's not how you write a method

#

Extra semicolon ; and missing bracket }

sullen perch
#

oh

sage mirage
# sullen perch pls, i have it due in a hour

You can get help from a lot of resources that I am going to provide right now for example tutorials, documentation if you don't know something about what a component do or whatever and chat gpt that I don't recommend or if you use it just tell it to clarify why it does what it does in order to make it clear for you to understand.

sullen perch
#

I dont have a lot of time and have looked for tutorials but bcant find any for my problem

sage mirage
#

Also, when writing your code you have to save some snippets that's what I do for different systems and functionalities

sullen perch
sage mirage
#

It doesn't really matters to understand what the code does if the code is very complicated just learn the methodology of it

sullen perch
#

do you think il be able to learn this in 30mins?

ivory bobcat
#

Nope. Get someone to do it for you.

sage mirage
#

Bro it's all about experimenting

sullen perch
sage mirage
#

Project based learning how a lot of developers call it

#

do not enter tutorials hell just to watch tutorials without writing code

sullen perch
#

ok

ivory bobcat
#

Make sure you call leave after collecting the coin

sullen perch
sage mirage
#

I am not expert to note I am working with unity almost 2 years. I have been learning and still learning new concepts in the area of game dev. For example, I didn't know how to make that rain logic that's obvious but I wasn't sure because I was using character controller.

sullen perch
#

ok

sage mirage
#

Debug statements also I highly recommend to use debug statements bro

sullen perch
#

yeah, i have learnt that the hard way

frosty hound
#

I think the biggest takeaway is not to wait until you have an hour left to submit your work to start learning.

sullen perch
#

yeah

Because you are multiplying mouse input with Time.deltaTime. That's incorrect

#

Also post !code correctly so you don't flood the channel

eternal falconBOT

Remove the * Time.deltaTime

After that you need to make your sensitivity about 50 to 100 times smaller

Hello everyone, I’ve tried just about everything to solve this problem but can’t do it. I’m very new to coding and this is my first project. I got this from a tutorial for 3d but my game is 2d. The problem is when i remove the item from my inventory it wont let me pick it up. it first I thought it was because it was a clone but the way he did it it uses a string to identify it. The clones still had the string saved so I don't know whats happening. Here’s a link to the “game” https://github.com/Kalani12345/2D-game

You can do so with the instructions in !code

Vector3 mousePosition = Input.mousePosition;
mousePosition = Camera.main.ScreenToWorldPoint(mousePosition);

Vector2 direction = new Vector2(mousePosition.x - transform.position.x, mousePosition.y - transform.position.y);

transform.up = direction;

I want all objects with this script to face my mouse cursor.

Why do all objects with this script only look at the camera with the "Main Camera" Tag and Cinemachiene Brain Component and not the Mouse?

I use Cinemachiene, which might be the problem.

polar acorn
tulip nimbus
#

The project is 2D. It also was in the tutorial i watched

buoyant knot
#

why is mouseposition a vector3

polar acorn
#

The mouse position is going to be at the height of the main camera, since you're not adding any Z offset to it. Everything's looking at the mouse, but the mouse is always near the camera

#

If your camera is 10 units from the "game plane", then you'll want to add that 10 units back to it after you get the mouse position, that will get you the mouse position in the actual game space

buoyant knot
#

you might also have problems if you have objects with colliders

polar acorn
#

Actually, hang on, the math would be unchanged, even though you're storing it as a Vector3, you're not using Z

#

So adding Z wouldn't matter

buoyant knot
#

i wonder if using the setter for transform.up is a problem

tulip nimbus
#

yeh i changed it to Vector2 its unchanged

tulip nimbus
buoyant knot
tulip nimbus
#

The thing is that all tutorials and all ive read trough, they all had normal cameras. This script only works for the Cinemachiene if it is set to "Main Camera" but it ignores the mouse

tulip nimbus
buoyant knot
#

uhh. it’s kind of involved

polar acorn
tulip nimbus
#

noted 👍

polar acorn
#

In most 2D games you're going to disable rotation on the rigidbodies anyway. This would be fine

buoyant knot
#

the physics system does its own calculations, it simulates, it writes info to the transform. Moving the transform when that is going on can cause problems

polar acorn
tulip nimbus
#

I mainly plan to use triggers instead of actual collision with rigid bodies, do they still function when i use rigid bodies? Or do rigid Bodies dont work with triggers?

buoyant knot
#

he wants to rotate

Can anyone tell me why my background music doesn't fade out when the player gets down to 0 lives and triggers GameOver? The debug.log says "fading out: current volume 1" where it should be 0. I'm on Unity 6 and starting to think it might be a bug. Sadly my assignment requires that I remain in Unity 6. I've attached the scripts in question. Would be grateful for any help!

like here, if I command the transform for the red rectangle to rotate by 45 degrees, there are 2 issues:

  1. That won’t respect the collisions with the blue blocks. It will do what I tell it to. Next physics step will likely start with red block in the blue blocks
  2. syncing the red block’s rigid body and transform much be managed properly

trigger colliders rely on rigidbodies to send out callbacks like OnTriggerEnter2D

polar acorn
#

yield return null is correct here

rough orbit
tulip nimbus
silk night
#

didnt yield return null return and stop the coroutine? I might remember wrong 😄

polar acorn
#

that will ensure the coroutine waits for one frame and resumes next frame. WaitForEndOfFrame is an extra allocation for no benefit

polar acorn
buoyant knot
#

physics 2D kind of assumes that objects without rigidbodies have a static rigidbody

wintry quarry
buoyant knot
#

and i don’t recall if triggers on static rigidbodies send callbacks into other static rbs

silk night
buoyant knot
#

i don’t think they do

polar acorn
#

Even with cinemachine. As long as the main camera is inhabiting a virtual camera, it will point towards the mouse

buoyant knot
#

btw cinemachine is overrated for 2D

polar acorn
#

Cinemachine should honestly just be the default camera system. There's really no reason not to use it

buoyant knot
#

cinemachine is extremely useful and powerful for 3D because 3D is stupidly hard. But 2D is simple enough that cinemachine isn’t that critical

buoyant knot

2D cameras can be very simple. Like just following a player with some rubber banding, and a bounding box. Or whatever

silk night
#

automatic following, tracking of multiple objects if you want very simple use cases and there are plenty more for better 2d stuff

#

Writing your own camera code is good practice for manipulating transforms/vectors/quaternions though
And solving execution order issues
