Brain fart moment. I've got a raycast going from the camera. Is it possible for it to trigger a method just once when it hits the thing I'm looking for, and also, to trigger another method just once, when there is no 'hit' ? 😕

[wintry quarry]

Sure, everything is possible

it will only do things once unless you write a loop

or if you run the code multiple times

for example if you put something in Update, that happens every frame

[ruby python]

Sorry, I should have mentioned that it's in my Update() cause it needs to be constantly 'looking' 😕

[wintry quarry]

Ok then you just need to track what you're looking at

and only do the thing you want when you first start looking at something new

it all depends how you want this thing to behave

[rough orbit]

Anyone know why VisualStudio keeps spamming me that TextMeshProUGUI could not be found? Also namespace name UI does not exist in the namespace UnityEngine? My game still works, so no compiler errors, but I'm afraid to save and push to github if this is gonna bite me later. Only thing I know I've done is switching between windows build and web build. Prior to that there were no errors in the scripts.

[burnt vapor]

You need to configure your ide properly. See bot message below

[eternal falcon]

💡 IDE Configuration

If your IDE is not autocompleting code

Sounds like your IDE connection to Unity isn't working properl;y

[drowsy oriole]

Hi I'm still having problems with this script, I refuses to disable, and now It won't ENable so I don't know what to do, I just started doing code again, so don't judge me https://hastebin.com/share/cegekoluwa.csharp

[rich adder]

it refuses to disable and now it wont enable? explain

[rough orbit]

Installed through unity hub and there no update or anything in package manager, just remove.

[rough orbit]

How to do that?

[ruby python]

Okay, quick and dirty explanation, I'm using Feel from MoreMountains a lot in my current project. The thing I'm trying to do at the moment is......
When the raycast hits a certain type of object, it triggers a Feel controller that simply increases the Weight of an IK rig attached to the players arm from 0-1, 'raising' the arm so that it points at the raycast 'hit'. This funcionality I have working great, I have the arm raising up etc. The issue I'm having is the opposite action (Arm lowering/weight animating back to 0). The Feel Controller is all correct etc. It's my if(raycast....blah blah} else {lowerarmstuff] that's bugging me. lol.

    void Update()
    {
        RaycastHit hit;
        if (Physics.Raycast(playerCamera.transform.position, playerCamera.transform.forward, out hit, maxRaycastDistance, interactableLayerMask))
        {
            if (hit.transform.gameObject.CompareTag("Ore"))
            {
                Debug.Log("Arm Should Deploy Here");
                shoulderObject.LookAt(hit.point);

                if (!armRaised)
                {
                    Invoke("ArmRaise", 0f);
                }
            }
        }
        else
        {
            Invoke("ArmLower", 0);
        }
    }

Sorry if it's too long, but that's what I have so far (I thought Invoke would be the solution, but after looking at it and thinking about it, I realised I'm an idiot. lol.)

[rough orbit]

Probably, but I dont know how to fix that

[rich adder]

close VS there should be a button inside External Tools in Preferences in unity, click it then open script from unity again

[drowsy oriole]

It is a button script, when pressed it (is supposed to) calls Enable() but now it doesn't and I dont know why

[rich adder]

so the log isn't called/printed ?

[rough orbit]

Thanks. Any risks in regenerating project files?

[rich adder]

nope

[drowsy oriole]

No it is, but then disable happens RIGHT after it is enabled

So if I remove it, then it gets enabled but won't disable

[rich adder]

so is the log inside Disable called ?

check the stacktrace and see who's calling it

[rough orbit]

Doesn't seem to have helped. Then again nothing seems to happen when I click regen project files. The button gets clicked but nothing happens

[drowsy oriole]

yes, RIGHT after Enabled() is called

[wintry quarry]

I would go back through the IDE configuration guide

[verbal dome]

What does ArmLower look like?

[rich adder]

can you also show the Solution Explorer view in VS real quick

curious to see whats happening there

[ruby python]

 void ArmRaise()
 {
     //weaponArmIKRig.weight = 1;
     raiseArmPlayer.PlayFeedbacks();
     armRaised = true;
 }

 void ArmLower()
 {
     lowerArmPlayer.PlayFeedbacks();
     armRaised = false;
 }

[rich adder]

oh thats weird

[rough orbit]

Unless I missed something the guide only talks about configuring, intalling, and updating. That doesnt seem to be the issue

[wintry quarry]

Should you not have a similar cs if (armRaised) Invoke("ArmLower"); check there?

[rich adder]

I wonder if its only loading the main assembly and not the external package ones.. def try going through the steps again for VS config.
if you expand References under Assemblies, I wonder if you find the UI one there (prob not)

[wintry quarry]

Also why are you invoking it instead of just calling it

[ruby python]

I was just trying something tbh before I realised I was being stupid. lol.

[verbal dome]

Not entirely sure whats happening here but maybe you wanna call ArmLower also when the raycast hits something but it's not an Ore?

[wintry quarry]

yeah that's an excellent point^ you're missing a whole branch of the logic tree

I think the cleanest formulation here would be like:

bool hitOre = false;
if (Raycast(...)) {
  if (hit.COmpareTag("Ore")) hitOre = true;
}

if (hitOre && !armRaised) ArmRaise();
else if (!hitOre && armRaised) ArmLower();```

(pseudocode to show the logical structure)

[ruby python]

Okay, I got it working. (probably terrible implementation, but for the moment it works, so I'm happy. lol.)

        RaycastHit hit;
        if (Physics.Raycast(playerCamera.transform.position, playerCamera.transform.forward, out hit, maxRaycastDistance, interactableLayerMask))
        {
            if (hit.transform.gameObject.CompareTag("Ore"))
            {
                Debug.Log("Arm Should Deploy Here");
                shoulderObject.LookAt(hit.point);
                if (!armRaised)
                {
                    ArmRaise();
                }
            }
            else
            {
                if (armRaised)
                {
                    ArmLower();
                }
            }
        }

[wintry quarry]

don't you need to also handle the case of not hitting anything?

[ruby python]

With all the things I'd tried, one small detail I missed. I forgot to add the 'terrain' layerMask.

And I don't think so. If it's not looking at 'ore' specfically the ik rig is set to 0 and the player is completely goverened by animations.

[rough orbit]

Bunch of UI stuff but I guess not the one I need?

Does it ever happen that VS configs get scewed up when switching builds?

I've always been in the windows build and never had this issue before, then I switched to web and got the errors, switched back to windows and it's there now too. The game works though, no error messages in Unity, it's only VS that give me this.

[rich adder]

yeah you see the ones missing have exclamation mark for some reason VS is not detecting them

the ones in UnityEditor work fine for some reason

[ruby python]

A bit of context if anyone is interested. 🙂

https://streamable.com/vc5alc

[wintry quarry]

In the future it's probably going to be better if instead of checking for a tag like "Ore", you put a component on these things like "Interactable"

then you can detect any interactable thing including things that are not ores

[ruby python]

Yeah, that's the whole idea, I just wanted to get this part working. The ores will be sriptable objects etc.

All my current interactables are using that method. 🙂

[harsh wadi]

Sorry to ask again but do you have any solution regarding to my problem about jumping less when i jump on the edge of a platform? @wintry quarry

@steep rose here and we discussed a bit about it

[nocturne kayak]

Hey

I think i don't understand how Vector3.Project's supposed to work

📖 Manual

[nocturne kayak]

Let me show you what happened

[steep rose]

Okaaay.. and what is this?

[nocturne kayak]

It's not supposed to snap to world 0 when i do that, might have something to do with it converting localPosition to world Position? but i'm not sure

[nocturne kayak]

The idea is, it should slide along it's up axis but where it's already at

This would be the desired result

The problem is that, well, this one isn't locked to a single axis

https://paste.ofcode.org/QSzjvEL9Bm8f2zQ4KbBVuK

This is the script, the only difference between those two videos is that at like 54 in the script, first video is ' transform.position = Vector3.Project(hitPoint, transform.up);'

[hollow slate]

before the position is set, project it from the position it's at.

[nocturne kayak]

second is transform.position = hitPoint;

[hollow slate]

yeah they do project it.

You can take the code as it is (probably) and in the end make sure that the position is Vector3.Project(whatever you're grabbing, The axis is must follow)

oh, nevermind

I see your issu enow

issue now*

you want it to follow a plane yes @nocturne kayak ?

There's a function called Vector3.ProjectOnPlane. In your case, you'd use transform.up to define the normal of this plane. Vector3.Project projects only onto a single axis, not a plane.

that should achieve the desired result.

[nocturne kayak]

Oh, i want it to be projected on a single axis

[hollow slate]

oh.

[nocturne kayak]

I didn't use projectonPlane, but it is already snapping to a virtual plane i created

[hollow slate]

so what's the issue exactly?

[nocturne kayak]

The desired result would be having it slide along green line, not red

[hollow slate]

aha, I see what's happening now

the projecting works in world space. You must add the cube's position transform.position when you set the final position of the object.

I'm assuming it's following world zero.

[verbal dome]

Vector3.Project should be used with a direction vector, not a position. I thought someone pointed this out to you at some point

// Direction from target object to hit point
Vector3 dir = hit.point - targetObject.position;
// Project that direction so that it "snaps" to the axis
Vector3 projectedDir = Vector3.Project(dir, transform.up);
// Add the projected vector to the target object's position to get the final world space position
Vector3 newPos = targetObject.position + projectedDir;```
Uhh something like that?

Could be completely off, I need some ☕

[nocturne kayak]

Someone did, there was something about converting it to worldspace and back to local, but it was 1 and something AM and i was crashing

[verbal dome]

It's important to understand the difference of a position vector and a direction vector
Anyway, try the snippet I provided

[wise hearth]

Can someone help me with my lights dont work? When I drag in lights they dont give off any light

[wintry quarry]

what kind of light are you trying to use?
What objects are you expecting it to illuminate and how are they rendered?

[steep rose]

#archived-lighting

[wise hearth]

oh i didnt know that, ty

[verbal dome]

@nocturne kayak Btw just fixed a major typo in the snippet, was using hit.point inside Project instead of dir. Edited

[wise hearth]

would you take a look at it in the other channel?

[verbal dome]

Post your question in lighting channel and we can take a look. Also provide the info that Praetor was asking

[shy lichen]

someone free to dm for help?

[frosty hound]

That's not how this server operates. If you have a question, you can ask it, with details, in a relevant channel and anyone who wishes to help will do so.

[shy lichen]

Done already but it was jumped over with a lot of messages

Sorry

[cosmic quail]

you can ask again if it gets buried

[shy lichen]

Oh thaks

Thought not to spam here

[nocturne kayak]

This works

Just to confirm, what you did essencially was get the relative position from hitPoint from the targetObject and turn it into dir

then project dir on the axis handle's up vector

and get the relative position again through newPos?

Now it works as intended

But for some reason it's affecting ALL objects with this script

[verbal dome]

You're welcome

[nocturne kayak]

Thank you, i believe i have a nice understanding of what happened there, but still a bit unsure

[verbal dome]

Yes you get a direction by subtracting a position from another position

Planes are infinitely "wide" so I guess you are hitting the plane of both of those handles

[nocturne kayak]

This has me very confused, shouldn't my script component only afect it's direct parent?

[verbal dome]

Should probably do some kind of distance check and check which one is closer

Busy right now can't check out the code

[nocturne kayak]

Understandable, but the plane's only being created when i click one of them

[livid gale]

Hello. I was trying to create an input manager script + basic movement script(called fps controller) in 3d. However, everytime I try to start it, I am getting an error. which I'll share in photo. Below are links to the two scripts.
https://hastebin.com/share/pugerogaqi.csharp
https://hastebin.com/share/zibirofazo.csharp

[wintry quarry]

PlayerINputHandler line 62 is where the first error is

[polar acorn]

lookAction is null

[wintry quarry]

you need to look at that in your script

[livid gale]

How is it null?

[wintry quarry]

lookAction = playerControls.FindActionMap(actionMapName).FindAction(look);

presumably this returned null

i.e. that action name doesn't exist in your actions asset

[livid gale]

Is it case sensitive?

[wintry quarry]

of course

[livid gale]

Might be the cause

[wintry quarry]

make sure you have saved your asset too

and make sure there are no spaces in the name or something

[livid gale]

It's on autosave

[wintry quarry]

and that the correct actions asset is assigned

[livid gale]

it also says this

However I have a maincamera with a tag

[wintry quarry]

you need to look at the fuill errorr message

and look at the filename and line number of the error

[polar acorn]

There is no Camera attached to the Player game object, but a script is trying to access it. You probably need to add a camera to the game object Player, or the script needs to check if the component is attached before using it.

[wintry quarry]

the fact there is a camera in your scene is not relevant

[livid gale]

So maincamera has to be inside player?

[polar acorn]

Your code is getting the Camera component from this object. If this object has no Camera, this is null.

[wintry quarry]

There's no requirement for this in general, only with the specific code you wrote, which expects the Camera component to be on the player object.

[polar acorn]

If you don't want to use the Camera component on this object, don't

[thorny basalt]

Why don’t you just pass the component as a parameter instead?

[livid gale]

I have to, otherwise how will I be able to use the look action?

[polar acorn]

Either this object is supposed to have a Camera on it, in which case you need to add one, or it doesn't need one, in which case you shout stop trying to access it

[livid gale]

What if I changed it to Camera.main?

[polar acorn]

Sure, that would no longer be trying to read the Camera component of this object

it would instead be referencing a Camera on an object tagged MainCamera

[livid gale]

Well, that brings me back to the original problem. lookAction is still null

[polar acorn]

Then whatever action map actionMapName is on whatever input asset playerControls refers to has no map named whatever value look is

Perhaps log those values right before that line so you can make sure they're what you expect

[livid gale]

I'll try

Nope

[polar acorn]

Nope what

[wintry quarry]

Make sure you look at the inspector for the object this script is on too. The action names are serialized. So you might have changed it in the inspector

[wintry quarry]

check inspector

[livid gale]

True

I swear to God, I'm stupid

[wintry quarry]

also not clear what it is you are saying you tried there

[livid gale]

All I had to do was fix a typo in the inspector..

Hello everyone Im kinda short on time so ill ask this in bigger message.So i have project for university bout making mobile games,i have 2 problems SpriteRenderer updates in Menu but not as physical object https://youtu.be/b8YUfee_pzc?si=txIGHsLc3-HUOtWP&t=19256 (i timestamped video on this part) and here is code im using rn following tutorial GameManager: https://hastebin.com/share/esocofovuy.csharp

[livid gale]

@polar acorn @wintry quarry Thank you kindly for your help

[polar acorn]

Not sure what you mean by "SpriteRenderer updates in Menu but not as physical object". You've shown what should be happening, but not what is happening

[shy lichen]

Menu one updates but in game stays the same picture

as weapon sprite

instead of chaniging like on menu one

[polar acorn]

So, it's logging the name of the current sprite, and it's showing as staff_2. Since the object in the inspector shows a sprite of staff_1, one of two things is happening. Either spriteRenderer is not referring to this object, or something else is changing the sprite after the log occurs.

Since spriteRenderer is public, another script could be changing it, or calling SetWeaponLevel to change it back

[shy lichen]

Okay thanks(sry didnt make any kind of game in 7 years).Seems like puting it private doesnt change much so ill try to update SetWeaponLevel script

[polar acorn]

If it's private and nothing is giving you a compile error, then that would eliminate the possibility of something else changing spriteRenderer, so we can now eliminate the first possibility of it referring to a different object. That'd mean something else is changing it after the sprite change, back to Staff_1. SetWeaponLevel seems the most likely culprit, since it changes the sprite without logging anything

could it be LoadState of GameManager thats problem,sry not sure how to share code here

xd

[polar acorn]

The bot tells you how

You called up the bot, you just have to read what it says

[shy lichen]

public void LoadState(Scene s, LoadSceneMode mode)
    {
       SceneManager.sceneLoaded -= LoadState;

        if (!PlayerPrefs.HasKey("SaveState"))
            return;
        Debug.Log("Load");

        string[] data = PlayerPrefs.GetString("SaveState").Split('|');

        gold = int.Parse(data[1]);
        exp = int.Parse(data[2]);
        if(GetCurrentLevel() != 0)
        player.SetLevel(GetCurrentLevel());
        weapon.SetWeaponLevel(int.Parse(data[3]));


        
    }

[polar acorn]

This does call SetWeaponLevel. Consider adding a log to the function to find out what value you're setting it to

[shy lichen]

so it calls value of of state when player moves to another level or when i restart game.Seems like this isnt problem.Ill try to check other things.Thanks for your time anyway.

[hollow quest]

anyone knowns how to setup neovim to work with unity?

[pulsar meteor]

is there any good public varible turtorial or somthing like that cus i just dont understant it

[deft grail]

what dont you understand?

[nocturne kayak]

Well, other than programming basics that'd be hard to help with

[deft grail]

public just means its accessible in other scripts

[pulsar meteor]

but i cant ever get it in my other scripts

[nocturne kayak]

How are you trying to access these variables?

[deft grail]

you just need a reference to your script then you access the variable

[pulsar meteor]

i wil look

[nocturne kayak]

public doesn't mean that you can access it from any other script in the engine, that'd be a mess on the backend

it just means that when you reference that specific script, you CAN read\write those variables

[pulsar meteor]

i delted that

but it was like or with Serileized field or a whole line that says where it was and than what var

[viscid needle]

hey can anyone help me know how to make the Y axis of the pipe in Flappy bird change once per every spawn

[deft grail]

all you need to do is
public MyScript script; drag in the inspector
script.MyPublicVariable; to access the variable

[polar acorn]

It allows the variable to be accessed from another script. That's it

[viscid needle]

mine changes every update

[deft grail]

then change it when you Instantiate

instead of in Update

[viscid needle]

ok will try

[deft grail]

on each pipe you can just set a random Y in Start, or on the script where you instantiate

[pulsar meteor]

public MyScript script; what is what i dont understant you exactly

[deft grail]

this is just a variable

its the same as public int myInt;

[steep rose]

you can access public variables from each script, if the script has none, you cannot access the variables

[deft grail]

this public can be either private or [SerializeField] private to show it in the inspector

[pulsar meteor]

what is MyScript

[steep rose]

replace it with whatever script you want to access

[polar acorn]

Your Script

[wintry quarry]

0 is the first

1 is the second

6 is the 7th

[vocal fable]

but the others worked like normal

[wintry quarry]

arrays all work this way

[polar acorn]

Please tell me what "Element 6" is set to

[wintry quarry]

this is the normal way

[vocal fable]

this is bolt up

[polar acorn]

correct

[wintry quarry]

no this is bolt back

[polar acorn]

Wait, yes, wrong bolt

Bolt Back

[steep rose]

5 is clipin

[vocal fable]

ohhh

sorry im dumb

i thought this was 1

so it was shoot

but i forgot to set it

yes it was 5

[worldly frost]

idk... as soon as i press the button that runs this code unity freezes (cant click on anything, log is frozen etc.)

so i cant see any errors in the log

[frosty hound]

Install the Logcat package, and run it while your phone is plugged in to see the console.

[worldly frost]

forgot to mention that im using unity editor

like the whole editor freezes bruh

i gotta kill it using task manager after

[frosty hound]

Then how do you know it's that code that is freezing it?

[viscid needle]

What does the button's code look like? Is it just calling ithat function?

[viscid needle]

https://paste.ofcode.org/4gMvHFaNTXmHf8eDen9cXF

can anyone pls tell me what is wrong here, I am not able to call the invoke repeat, It says

[wintry quarry]

why did you put () in your string?

[viscid needle]

would removing it work?

[wintry quarry]

yes

[worldly frost]

oops forgot this code (im sleepy)

public void SignUp()

[wintry quarry]

Always look at examples to see how to use things https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/MonoBehaviour.InvokeRepeating.html @viscid needle

[viscid needle]

I tried but didnnot unedrstand

thank you

[polar acorn]

You do not have a function named spawnPipe(). That would look like public void spawnPipe()()

[worldly frost]

removing the code from the button?

[wintry quarry]

he was not talking to you

[worldly frost]

oops i thought u where other guy

[worldly frost]

yeah i realised...

[frosty hound]

This code doesn't go straight to the function you think is breaking. You're also checking if the IsValidEmail and IsValidPassword which itself can be an issue. Does any of your logs appear in the console before it freezes?

[polar acorn]

There's a few functions here that we don't know about, try commenting out the SignUpWithUsernamePasswordAsync function and see if it still dies

[worldly frost]

the last log is the Debug.Log("egg"); (dont question my names 😭 )

[worldly frost]

imma try that

[worldly frost]

yep doesnt crash now

and it only logs the egg

[frosty hound]

Can you log AuthenticationService.Instance at the top of the function?

So you can verify that you actually have a reference to it

[viscid needle]

hey umm... dum question but that code should spawn the pipeSet every 2 seconds and like 0.3 times right?

[worldly frost]

you mean comment it?

[frosty hound]

No, log it

Debug.Log (AuthenticationService.Instance);

[viscid needle]

@frosty hound can you help,pls?

[wintry quarry]

You are calling INvokeRepeating in Update, which means every frame you are going to start a new set of repeating invokes

very quickly it's going to get out of hand

[polar acorn]

It will wait 2 seconds to call it the first time, then 0.3 seconds for each. Every frame you start a new set

[viscid needle]

ohh thanks

[polar acorn]

So, after 2 seconds, you will be spawning one every frame

[frosty hound]

No, people shouldn't be answering question you can just test yourself. and you'll have your answer.

[polar acorn]

after 2.03 seconds, you'll be spawning two per frame

and so on

[viscid needle]

sry

[viscid needle]

thanks

[worldly frost]

if i comment out the authenticationservice.instance.SignInWithUsernamePasswordAsync thing it doesnt crash, logging it as you said outputs: Unity.Services.Authentication.AuthenticationServiceInternal
and then it proceeds to do the sign up succesful stuff

[frosty hound]

That's not at all what I asked?

[polar acorn]

I asked it

Just to confirm if it was that function and not the other IsVald___ functions

[worldly frost]

you asked to do Debug.Log (AuthenticationService.Instance);

which i did

and i commented out the signinwithusernamepasswordasync so it doesnt crash

[worldly frost]

and this logged Unity.Services.Authentication.AuthenticationServiceInternal

[viscid needle]

hey umm... my pipeSet's Y value us changing every instant, I want it to change with every instantiate how do I do that

[polar acorn]

How are you changing it

[wintry quarry]

instead of doing it however you're doing it now, just do it when you spawn a pipe.

[viscid needle]

https://paste.ofcode.org/YmfDT438X9RcwgRyFhWu7M

[viscid needle]

how?

[polar acorn]

So, every time spawnPipe is called, you move whatever object pipeSet is

Is that what you want spawnPipe to be doing?

[viscid needle]

I am trying to make flappy birds pipes bro

[wintry quarry]

by writing the code there

[polar acorn]

That doesn't answer my question

[wintry quarry]

this code isn't spawning anything

it's jsut moving some existing object

[viscid needle]

Yes to the left but I want it to spawn at different Y cordinate at every instantiate

[wintry quarry]

that would go in the code that spawns pipes. You are looking at the code that moves pipes

[polar acorn]

So, you want your function named spawnPipe to move an existing object to somewhere else?

[viscid needle]

Ik i have been trying to add the instantiate command but it just shows a error

[polar acorn]

If so, you should probably call the function something else

[wintry quarry]

You are confusing this shit out of yourself

[deft grail]

you dont need to instantiate anything again

[wintry quarry]

why are you doing this in the "moveLeft" script

[viscid needle]

to the left endlessly

[wintry quarry]

You need to look at the script that actually spawns things

this is the script that moves the pipes

[viscid needle]

I had named it previoulsy tha

[polar acorn]

Okay, so why is the function called spawnPipe

[wintry quarry]

fix your script and function names to stop confusing yourself

[viscid needle]

ok

wait a minute

[polar acorn]

You should name the functions what they actually do

[viscid needle]

https://paste.ofcode.org/KKbgAuG9s36yGGcKCVd9nq

here better?

[polar acorn]

Okay, so pipeSetSpawn is a function that moves pipeSet

Still doesn't make much sense

[viscid needle]

can we please ignore the naming for now pls (I am very sleepy)

[polar acorn]

The fact that this is your second attempt at naming it shows that you don't seem to know what that line of code does

[steep rose]

pipemove would be better

[polar acorn]

What do you think this line of code does:

pipeSet.transform.Translate(-1f, Random.Range(-4f, 4f), 0);

[viscid needle]

I want it to perform the task I am naming it but struggling

did it

[polar acorn]

If you want it to spawn something, it should probably actually spawn something. Right now, you are moving an object

[viscid needle]

so how do instantiate it

[polar acorn]

Call Instantiate

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Object.Instantiate.html

[viscid needle]

ok I will try to understand it again

[hallow acorn]

hey how can i check if all my referenced colliders (trigger) enter my other collider?

i need it for my placing system which checks if all "anchors" touch the floor

[verbal dome]

Probably easiest to do an OverlapBox/Sphere/Capsule/Circle2D for each of those

Actually not OverlapX but CheckX

[steep rose]

you could also use the triggers ontriggerenter to check if any objects go in it

[verbal dome]

You can also manually check it in OnTriggerEnter/Exit but that sounds like more work

[hallow acorn]

but i want to check if all of them enter not any

[verbal dome]

Since you need to keep track of each collider, as opposed to instantly checking it with a physics query

[hallow acorn]

what?

[steep rose]

okay then check for that

just use an array or list or smth

I do not see the need for hostility

[verbal dome]

I'm saying, do a physics query (for example Physics.OverlapSphere) on the points you need to check

[fluid lagoon]

hi i added my freind to my orginization so we can work on a game togather how can he accses it from the unity hub he can see it on the cloud but there is not option in the hub
please help us so we will be able to work on a game togather

[verbal dome]

In that case you wouldn't really need to have colliders though, but it would be good to visualize the required areas with Gizmos

The other option is to add each collider into a list in OnTriggerEnter and remove it in Exit
And when you want to place the object, check if the list has all of the colliders

[hallow acorn]

how do i check for the list?

[steep rose]

public List<GameObject> ListObjects = new List<GameObject>();
this is to create it
then you just do a for/while loop and check if there are more than x amount then do something

make sure you do List.add to add things to it

also keep in mind i am not the best at lists 😅

[hallow acorn]

but cant i just create a list like this: public List<BoxCollider> Colliders; and add the colliders in the inspector? also i meant like how do i check if all the colliders in the list collide with my other collider

[viscid needle]

hey can anyone pls help me how to finish this codehttps://paste.ofcode.org/VBRBVEEFtBUcx6ZcMDYB4M

it has something to do with angles I just dont know what

I have to fill it with a quartanion rotation

the rotaions are supposed to be all 0, pls help fasttt

[edgy prism]

Hello, im working on a 2D game and in it I am spawning "pillar" gameObjects for the player to walk around, currently I am tracking its sorting order and putting it above player if behind it and below if its infront like so:

void Update()
    {
        if (player.transform.position.y > transform.position.y)
        {
            //Player is above Pillar
            this.GetComponent<Renderer>().sortingOrder = 1;
        }
        else
            this.GetComponent<Renderer>().sortingOrder = -1;
    }

The issue is when I have to pillars next to eachother they still clip, I was hoping someone could tell me the best approach to fix that, my current thinking is to also check in this function for adjacent pillars and change the sorting order accordingly

[viscid needle]

hey can anyone pls help me how to finish this codehttps://paste.ofcode.org/VBRBVEEFtBUcx6ZcMDYB4M
it has something to do with angles I just dont know what
I have to fill it with a quartanion rotation
the rotaions are supposed to be all 0, pls help fasttt

[steep rose]

well yes you could, and you can do that with a list as well, so best you use what Osmal said #💻┃code-beginner message

[wintry quarry]

https://discussions.unity.com/t/sorting-layers-according-to-y-axis/153125

[hallow acorn]

still dont actually get what he meant but is there no direct way to check if every collider hit my other collider?

[modest dust]

As Osmal pointed out, the easiest way to do it is with Physics.CheckBox. Here's a simple example:

bool CheckAnchors(Vector3[] anchorPositions, Vector3 halfExtents, int groundLayermask)
{
  foreach(Vector3 anchorPosition in anchorPositions)
  {
    if (!Physics.CheckBox(anchorPosition, halfExtents, layermask:groundLayermask))
    {
      return false; // Anchor not touching ground, no need to check the rest.
    }
  }

  return true;
} ```

[modest dust]

There is, each anchor collider needs to check for collisions separately and "send a message" to some sort of an "anchor manager" whether they become grounded or not, with the anchor manager keeping track of the grounded anchors count.

[steep rose]

thats what overlapsphere/box/etc does, you check if it hits a collider with a specific tag and add it to the list. if this is over or equal to a certain amount and those objects also have a certain tag then do something

[hallow acorn]

can i just do it with a child for each collider?

[steep rose]

can you use overlapsphere/box/etc to check a gameobjects child?

[wintry quarry]

physics queries don't care at all about the object hierarchy

[hallow acorn]

can i just check for the name of the childs?

[wintry quarry]

they will tell you which colliders overlap, full stop

[edgy prism]

Thankyou, this seems like what I need however when I go into my project settings theres no camera settings under graphics

[steep rose]

well you could check for names but thats not recommended

[wintry quarry]

scroll down in the thread, and make sure you're looking at the stuff for the appropriate render pipeline

[hallow acorn]

why not?

[steep rose]

thats why i suggested tags, which are not that better but are good for what you want

[wintry quarry]

very slow, causes garbage collection, and is just... not the way. references are better in every way basically

[edgy prism]

Apologies for being an idiot 🫡

[hallow acorn]

how can i even give a tag to a collider

[steep rose]

you give a tag to a gameobject

[hallow acorn]

bro what the actual f do you mean

[steep rose]

what?

wdym

am i missing something here?

[verbal dome]

Mate you should drop the attitude if you want help here

[hallow acorn]

how does it help in any way to determine if everyone of the colliders entered collider "whatever" if i give the same tag to all of them?

[hallow acorn]

sry im tired

[verbal dome]

I don't know about the tags, I didn't suggest that. I suggested using lists which you ignored

[steep rose]

you check if the gameobject has the tag and if it does you add that gameobject to the list

i explained it a while ago

[hexed terrace]

it's not good to develop when tired, mistakes are more likely

[steep rose]

there is definitely better way instead of tags but i dont know them rn

[hallow acorn]

i created a list with my colliders but i have no idea what to do with it exactly

[steep rose]

#💻┃code-beginner message

[verbal dome]

This

[verbal dome]

But I personally would do this

[hallow acorn]

oohh havent seen that one yeah this makes sense. ill try it

Can anyone explain to me why i cannot put gameObjects into a Prefab, but when it is in Hierachy i can? How can i fix this so i dont have to have everything in my Hierarchy?

[wintry quarry]

you don't need the code no

it's a project setting that changes how the camera renders your sprites. It sorts them in order by the y axis

[edgy prism]

I think your issue is that you're parameter is a transform when your prefab doesnt exist in your game world so wouldnt have a transform

[edgy prism]

Thats like magic to me, thankyou so much for your help I cant believe it could be that easy

[tulip nimbus]

So that means, because it is not spawned/loaded yet, it cannot take any Transform attributes since its technically not in the game?

[wintry quarry]

becasue assets cannot refer to objects in a scene.

You need to get the reference another way

for example, assign it at reference in your code after spawning the object

[tulip nimbus]

like in Awake()?

[wintry quarry]

no like in the code that spawns the object

[tulip nimbus]

ah okay thanks!

[spiral abyss]

hi i was wondering how to make a colidor move with animation?

[verbal dome]

You could animate its transform or collider's center property

What is this for though? Not sure if it can reliably produce collisions for you if you move it with anims

[steep rose]

you can also make primitives as children of each bone as well
if you are talking about a moving mesh collider, just no

[spiral abyss]

its for my player im prety new to unity si i jast took a free charhachter and animation so i dont know how to edit it so it will move the transform

Idle games are actually a non-trivial problem, you'll learn things like data persistence, real time synchronization, and how to handle numbers too big to fit in a float. Still, it's not an insurmountable goal for a first project, it's not massive in scope, it just has some quirky technical problems other game genres don't

How can I tell what objects are being considered as obstacles for a navmesh?

[teal viper]

If they have an obstacle component, then they are considered obstacles

[waxen adder]

Ah, right so I can search for those

Interesting. So originally I was using a navmeshmodifier to achieve the result of the obstacle (with carve on). Had to end up switching that because there doesn't seem to be a reference to it I can get via script? Edit: it might be entirely possible that I'm missing a using statement, since modifiers require an additional install.

This does beg the question. What exactly is the point/difference between the two?

[teal viper]

Modifiers change what is considered a navmesh at baking time iirc. Obstacles are modifying the navmesh at real time or even just affecting the agents dynamic pathfinding(avoiding things when it moves by them).

[waxen adder]

Interesting. Is it possible to retrieve these modifiers via script? I didn't see any option pop up with intellisense

[teal viper]

Don't trust a stranger though, read the docs

[teal viper]

Should be possible. Check the docs or inspector debug mode to see what type it is.

[waxen adder]

From the looks of it, I should be using obstacles. Modifiers seem to be for more interesting changes to the navmesh. The example used in the docs is a "lava" area, rather than something like a wall

[teal viper]

If the wall is static and never gonna change, I think you should use a modifier

[waxen adder]

Right now, it's static

Will probably change that in the future though

[verbal dome]

Using a modifier with a non-walkable area override should do it

[waxen adder]

Gotcha, my problem now is trying to reach the modifier component via script. The docs are proving to be a maze on this.

I'm here right now:
https://docs.unity3d.com/2020.1/Documentation/Manual/NavMesh-BuildingComponents-API.html

[verbal dome]

That's the old navmesh package, are you using the new one? It's this https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.ai.navigation@2.0/manual/index.html

Try UnityEngine.AI.NavMeshModifier ?

[waxen adder]

Nothing comes up after .AI

Adding it regardless says that it doesn't exist

[silk night]

check if the package osmal has linked is installed in the package manager

if its not, install it

[gaunt solstice]

I implemented all this so now I just need to know how to get it to make a new random point if the dot is < 0

[waxen adder]

Oh, is this the old version?

[teal viper]

What unity version are you using? There's a change in the API in 2022(I think) as the navmesh is now package based.

[verbal dome]

Do a for loop, with something like i < maxTries
When you find a valid position, break out of the loop

If with "dot is < 0" you mean it's in an undesirable direction

[silk night]

It is the right package, but an old version (1.1.5 vs 2.0+)

[waxen adder]

Weird. I didn't download this that long ago. Must've picked it up from an older area. Where can I get this newer version?

[teal viper]

You can't it seems. What unity version are you using?

[silk night]

what unity version are you on?

[teal viper]

If it's older than 2022, you should probably upgrade

[silk night]

2.0 is 2023.2.0a18+

[waxen adder]

2022.3.16f1

[verbal dome]

Actually I'm on 2021 and not using that package lol, so it's probably not even supposed to be UnityEngine.AI.NavMeshX

[teal viper]

https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.ai.navigation@1.1/api/Unity.AI.Navigation.NavMeshModifier.html

Namespace: Unity.AI.Navigation

[verbal dome]

There we go, sorry for misleading

Didn't realize I'm on the older version

[waxen adder]

Shouldn't Unity.AI be enough to get that?

[teal viper]

No

[silk night]

what IDE are you using? usually you can let your IDE auto import the needed stuff

[waxen adder]

WAIT

Unity.AI

[teal viper]

Unless you explicitly use Navigation.NavMeshModifier every time.

[waxen adder]

Not UnityEngine.AI

[verbal dome]

Yeah the old package was in UnityEngine.AI.

[waxen adder]

angery

The IDE sees it now

Ty all for helping me on this

What is the area type in nav mesh modifiers? I see it's an int, but the values you see in the editor are, well, words. Is this like a layer mask or something?

[wintry quarry]

https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.ai.navigation@2.0/manual/AreasAndCosts.html#area-types

[verbal dome]

It's an integer but displayed as the name of the area

[wintry quarry]

in the inspector you see a nice dropdown yea

[verbal dome]

And in some places - such as what Praetor linked - it's a mask so sort of similiar to layermask yeah

[waxen adder]

Gotcha. Trying to see how to implement this in a way that's readable, instead of plopping a magic number and calling it a day XD

[verbal dome]

Try NavMesh.GetAreaFromName

[waxen adder]

Is there an "AreaMask" type like there is "LayerMask"? Not getting AreaMask to show up in intellisense

[verbal dome]

Dont think so, just an integer

[waxen adder]

This would require using UnityEngine.AI, which is older, no?

Or is it okay to combine the functionalities of the old system with the new(ish) ai.navigation?

[verbal dome]

I think it still uses parts of the navmesh class but I could be wrong

Doesnt it use the same systems for configuring area names, costs etc?

[dry sparrow]

Hello, can someone help me with very basic things? I don't know hoe to explain the problem with text so I would like to show

Hello, How could I fix this jittering guys, sometimes it looks smooth but in the end its kinda weird.

[verbal dome]

The NavMesh class is still relevant.
The "old" version is just the NavMeshComponents package that you had yo manually download. The NavMesh itself predates that

[wintry quarry]

turn on interpolation for your RIgidbody2d

[lofty lintel]

oh wait

I had extrapolation

Interpolation is worse

[wintry quarry]

Show the full script

leave interpolation on

[waxen adder]

Ah ok, nvm on my last comment then

[lofty lintel]

ok wait

This is with interpolation

[wintry quarry]

       if (PlayerRotates)
        {
            Vector3 mousePos = Camera.main.ScreenToWorldPoint(Input.mousePosition);
            transform.rotation = Quaternion.LookRotation(Vector3.forward, mousePos - transform.position);
        }```

because you're directly modifying the Transform here, you're breaking the interpolation

[verbal dome]

How are you rotating the rb?

Ah there we go

[lofty lintel]

with extrapolation

[wintry quarry]

it doesn't matter

you're breaking both of them

with your rotation

[lofty lintel]

mouse rotation?

[wintry quarry]

Whatever it is

you are directly modifying the Transform

it breaks interpolation

[lofty lintel]

so basically

I should change it to velocity?

[wintry quarry]

no

that doens't make sense

[dry sparrow]

I have an object in root with Transform and basic Shooter script that takes bullet prefab and instantiate it giving the bullet velocity and parenting it to itself. In the play mod I dragged it on the scene to see what s happening and saw that it jiggering its position in scene tho in the inspector it is not

[wintry quarry]

Vector3 lookDir = mousePos - transform.position;
rb.rotation = Mathf.Atan2(lookDir.y, lookDir.z) * Mathf.Rad2Deg;```

this is what you want

[lofty lintel]

Okay wait I'll try and implement

[verbal dome]

Wouldnt that be MoveRotation?

[lofty lintel]

if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.X)) { if (PlayerRotates) PlayerRotates = false; else PlayerRotates = true; }
//Player Rotate Follows Mouse.---------------------------------------------------------------
if (PlayerRotates)
{
    Vector3 mousePos = Camera.main.ScreenToWorldPoint(Input.mousePosition);

    Vector3 lookDir = mousePos - transform.position;
    rb.rotation = Mathf.Atan2(lookDir.y, lookDir.z) * Mathf.Rad2Deg;
    
    //transform.rotation = Quaternion.LookRotation(Vector3.forward, mousePos - transform.position);
}```

So like this?

[wintry quarry]

yesd

[verbal dome]

Or does rb.rotation not break interpolation

[wintry quarry]

it doesn't break interpolation

[lofty lintel]

Should I use inter or exterpolation

[wintry quarry]

interpolation

[verbal dome]

Extrapolation kind of overshoots, trying to guess where you should be

While interpolation just lerps between the last and current position

[lofty lintel]

I think it didn't rly work

[verbal dome]

Could be a camera issue too 🤔

[wintry quarry]

You probably have an issue with your camera now

how are you doing camera folow

[lofty lintel]

Cinemachine

[wintry quarry]

show the brain

make sure the brain is in LateUpdate or SmartUpdate mode

[lofty lintel]

I have no brain

i mean

[wintry quarry]

you have to have a brain

[lofty lintel]

where tf is brain i dont even know

[wintry quarry]

it's on the camera

[waxen adder]

Is there some way I can reach into these AreaMasks, so I can record the list of them?

[lofty lintel]

yeah discovered

[wintry quarry]

ok that should be fine...

[wintry quarry]

double check the player inspector?

[verbal dome]

Do a for loop from 0 to 31

[dry sparrow]

do someone know why is it jiggering?

[wintry quarry]

also try disabling the rotation code for a sec to see if it does anything?

[lofty lintel]

ok

[waxen adder]

Iterating over what though is the issue I'm having

[lofty lintel]

oh

it does

[wintry quarry]

Probably because your code is positioning the object late

Also set this to pivot

[verbal dome]

What info do you want to store about the areas? @waxen adder

[wintry quarry]

ok try putting the mouse look code in FixedUpdate and using rb.MoveRotation instead

[lofty lintel]

Alright wait

[waxen adder]

Just their name and index. I'm gonna be honest, not a big fan of how these are set up, so was going to create my own data type for them

[lofty lintel]

rb.MoveRotation(Mathf.Atan2(lookDir.y, lookDir.z) * Mathf.Rad2Deg);

like this?

[wintry quarry]

yes

[dry sparrow]

ah yeah that was the issue, thanks

[verbal dome]

Actually I dont see a way to get area name from index, at least in the NavMesh class. I only see GetAreaCost

[lofty lintel]

rotation doesn't work like that

oh wait

different clip wait

[waxen adder]

Oh. Hmm. That changes things

[wintry quarry]

leave this part in Update

[lofty lintel]

and?

[waxen adder]

Meh, I think I'll just keep things simple and do area comparisons with GetAreaFromName

[lofty lintel]

by default it's true so

[wintry quarry]

that should do it..

[lofty lintel]

that didn't do it

[wintry quarry]

is SHould Rotate printing?

[lofty lintel]

yes u can see

[wintry quarry]

show the rest of the code?

[lofty lintel]

wait

maybe the Animator is interfering now? 🤔

[lofty lintel]

ik this but

I think code too large

[lofty lintel]

how would it

Animator only triggers on Shift

[wintry quarry]

see if disabling the animator does anything

[lofty lintel]

Ok i'll try that

[verbal dome]

I think this should be Y and X, not Y and Z

[lofty lintel]

I'll try that too wait

[wintry quarry]

oh yeah

[lofty lintel]

didn't work

[wintry quarry]

you don't have the rotation constrained do you?

[lofty lintel]

wait look

Tried using last code u told me and it works but well wrong way

[lofty lintel]

yeah I don't even know what that is

[wintry quarry]

add 90 to it

[lofty lintel]

rb.rotation = Mathf.Atan2(lookDir.y, lookDir.x) * Mathf.Rad2Deg;

90 to where

[wintry quarry]

rb.rotation = Mathf.Atan2(lookDir.y, lookDir.x) * Mathf.Rad2Deg + 90;

possibly subtracting 90 lol

one of those

[lofty lintel]

actually

I did this haha

 rb.rotation = Mathf.Atan2(lookDir.y, lookDir.x) * Mathf.Rad2Deg + 270;

• 90 would work

[verbal dome]

Yeah thats the same as -90

[lofty lintel]

I think my math is mathing rn so I understand that last part

[lofty lintel]

yeah

since this is learning process maybe could u guys like explain what was going on?

a little?

to not waste ur time much

[wintry quarry]

you didn't have interpolation on your rigidbody, so you got stuttering

because the physics engine runs out of sync with the framerate of the game

interpolation smooths that

but if you directly modify the Transform, it breaks the interpolation

so we just had to make sure you had interpolation on and you weren't breaking it

[lofty lintel]

what does Extrapolation do

[wintry quarry]

if you moouse over them there's a little explanation

interpolation is a little behind, extrapolation is a little in the future

both smooth it out

[lofty lintel]

and what about uh

Moving code to Fixed update

I know difference that

Update runs more frames and that

was it like necessary to move the rotation code to fixedUpdate?

[wintry quarry]

for MoveRotation it is

[lofty lintel]

Extrapolation goes better with Update
However its opossite for interpolation

[lofty lintel]

(tested it out)

[wintry quarry]

my understanding is .rotation would go better in Update and MoveRotation would go better in FixedUpdate

[lofty lintel]

im using .rotation in fixedupdate and it works best

[wintry quarry]

so my understanding may be off. Maybe it's different for 2D

[lofty lintel]

So would this work same for that stick? should I put interpolate on it too right

just did and it worked! thank you so much <3

[dry sparrow]

Another question. I have an Object that have "Gravity" script attached:

private float _gravity = -10f;
private Rigidbody2D rb => GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>();

void Start() {
    rb.velocity = new Vector2(rb.velocity.x, rb.velocity.y + gravity);
    }```
"gravity" is -10. So the object at default have y velocity -10.
And it have another object as a child that spawns objects and giving them x velocity via "Speed" script attached to this objects.: 
```cs
...
[SerializeField] private GameObject projectile;
public Vector2 direction = new Vector2(1, 0);
...

GameObject _proj = Instantiate(projectile);
_proj.transform.parent = transform;
_proj.transform.localPosition = Vector2.zero;

Speed _projSpeed = _proj.GetComponent<Speed>();
_projSpeed.horizontalSpeed *= direction.x;
_projSpeed.verticalSpeed *= direction.y;```
The "Speed" script:
```cs
public float verticalSpeed = 0f;
public float horizontalSpeed = 0f;
private Rigidbody2D rb => GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>();
void Start() {
    rb.velocity = new Vector2(rb.velocity.x + horizontalSpeed, rb.velocity.y +            verticalSpeed);
    }```
The issue is that instantiated objects have the velocity, but they don't moving at all. They move when they attached from its parent tho, is this because the parent is changing it's position via velocity? If so, how do I make children attach to it but have velocity and move as expected?

[verbal dome]

Try making the rigidbody not kinematic

Not sure how the rb acts when it's a child though, especially if the parent is moving. I usually avoid that

Ah, 2D kinematic bodies can be moved by velocity so that part should be good

[dry sparrow]

That helps, but I afraid that could affect the perfomance too much?

[verbal dome]

What helped? Making it not kinematic?

[dry sparrow]

Yeah, I made projects dinamic

but if there are a lot of them

it could affect perfomance Im afraid

[verbal dome]

Why would the docs say that kinematic rb2d can be moved by velocity 🤔 I wonder if thats even correct

[dry sparrow]

it is moving, but only if it independed

[verbal dome]

IIRC 3d bodies ignore velocity when kinematic so there is some inconsistency between 2d and 3d

[verbal dome]

Does the parent have a rigidbody?

[dry sparrow]

yes

[verbal dome]

I dont see why you need them as children

[dry sparrow]

so they was destroied when parent is destroied

I could make a list tho I think

[verbal dome]

Alright, maybe keep them separate and yeah destroy them from a list

Another option is to give the player an empty parent that acts as the container for everything related to the player

Then destroy that parent

[dry sparrow]

I also want them to move with its parent, and feel like there will be alot of unnecesery code if I attach them

[verbal dome]

And have the bullets directly as children of the parent. So "siblings" of the player

[steep rose]

they are probably different due to the fact they use different physics engines

if not then idk lmao

[verbal dome]

Sure, its just confusing that kinematic means different things

Unity could name things anything they want regardless of the underlying physics engine

[steep rose]

its all a facade

[verbal dome]

You might have to make them follow the player manually then. Not sure though, maybe there's a way to make it work. I mostly use 3D

Generally speaking rigidbodies shouldnt be children of other rigidbodies

Unless the child is kinematic

[dry sparrow]

yeah I got it,

[lunar sand]

I'm trying to make a simple script where when I press R the object's Y rotation value goes back to 0, I have made this code so far but it says "The name 'gameObj' does not exist in the current context" how would I go about defining it?

public class Resetcar : MonoBehaviour
{
void Update()
{
if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.R))
{
gameObj.transform.eulerAngles.y = 0;

    }

}

}

[wintry quarry]

did you mean gameObject?

But also you don't need that at all

Vector3 eulers = transform.eulerAngles;
transform.eulerAngles = new Vector3(eulers.x, 0, eulers.z);```

gameObject would be redundant here

[lunar sand]

Yeah that fixed it, thanks a lot

[queen adder]

    float LastFrameTheNavmeshWasUpdated;
    public void UpdateNavmesh()
    {
        if(LastFrameTheNavmeshWasUpdated != Time.frameCount)
        {
            LastFrameTheNavmeshWasUpdated = Time.frameCount;
            StartCoroutine(NavmeshUpdateCoroutine());
        }
    }```any better pattern to make sure this coroutine doesnt run multiple times no matter how many times it was called in a single frame?

[wintry quarry]

where are you running UpdateNavmesh?

[queen adder]

multiple scripts that affects the map

[wintry quarry]

Also this:

float LastFrameTheNavmeshWasUpdated;```

should be int

[queen adder]

usually when some obstacle was built/destroyed

[wintry quarry]

because frameCount is an int

[queen adder]

oh yes, lemma change that

but yea, is this the best pattern?

I tried flipping a bool and checking in Update() but that was probably worse, is it?

[wintry quarry]

Another option is:

bool shouldUpdateNavMesh;
public void UpdateNavmesh() {
  shouldUpdateNavMesh = true;
}

void LateUpdate() {
  if (shouldUpdateNavMesh) StartCoroutine(NavmeshUpdateCoroutine());

  shouldUpdateNavMesh = false;
}```

[queen adder]

yea that was my original

but it is way too active

[wintry quarry]

whgat you have now is fine I would say

[queen adder]

Also you're 🤏 close to 300k (I dunno how you can be so active, I barely added 7k messages on one of the server I am usually staying in)

[wintry quarry]

I have 7k to go, which is your whole chat history

Hi

[sand snow]

can anyone help me, im having an issue when my character walks into a wall it slightly changes its rotation, my game is 2D, how do i fix this?

[wintry quarry]

don't crosspost

[sand snow]

someone else gave me the solution, i needed to constrain the rotation in the rigidbody

[wintry quarry]

that was me

[sand snow]

whoops 😭

[fiery plume]

Using the line renderer i have drawn Lines. The line renderer is on a UI Object in the Canvas and i want the lines to either follow the camera or the object its attached to but if i turn off world space the lines will no longer render and im unsure what to do?

[sour palm]

you can change the Canvas to use "World Space" instead of "Screen Space" (then position the line renderer)

[stuck palm]

how could you copy something to the clipboard?

like a room code or something

[placid elm]

Is there a way to make if statement that will trigger on collision with objects of all tags but not one specific?

[swift elbow]

i was told in the past that this didnt exist! ive been lied to!

[swift elbow]

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Component.CompareTag.html

compare the one you dont want and do nothing, and in the else statement, do what you want

[stuck palm]

it says it's a static string though. surely that means it can't be changed? or am I mistaken

[swift elbow]

static variables can be changed, it just means the value doesnt get reset when the instance of the script is destroyed

[stuck palm]

oh right. I've learnt something new today! I was probably thinking of const as something that was non changing

[placid elm]

thanks

[fickle halo]

Why must i do float x = 10f instead of float x = 10?

it feels redundant since I already specify float

[swift elbow]

Think about it like this: why can't you do float x = true; ? The same reason applies here

[languid spire]

you can. you cannot do
float x = 1.1;

because 1.1 is a double and you cannot automatically downcast

[devout flume]

Good question, I've never had to use f in C/C++ every time I was defining a float. I don't know if you have to do it in those languages too (if yes, then it's just a legacy from those languages), if not, there must be a reason why they chose to do it that way at Microsoft. Maybe it's to differentiate between float and double, as historically floats are using IEEE754 on 32 bits, whereas doubles are using IEEE754 on 64 bits. Nonetheless the compiler should be able to detect from the type itself.

[devout flume]

Probably this.

Decimal values may be defaulted to double.

[languid spire]

they are

[devout flume]

I'm just wondering why the f isn't strictly mandatory in C/C++

[languid spire]

because C and C++ are not type safe, C# is

[devout flume]

The same behavior applies to those languages, but they implicitly cast to float whenever you assign something to a float. Microsoft decided to not implement this indeed

[eternal needle]

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/programming-guide/types/casting-and-type-conversions

In C#, you can perform the following kinds of conversions: Implicit conversions: No special syntax is required because the conversion always succeeds and no data is lost. Examples include conversions from smaller to larger integral types, and conversions from derived classes to base classes.

[languid spire]

C and C++ do not care about data types. you can declare a variable as a long and use it as a double, the only thing that matters is the size of the type

[eternal needle]

From double to float, data is lost

[languid spire]

may be lost, it's basically a warning to say 'Do you really want to do this?' A very good thing imo

[burnt vapor]

Data loss prevention. Even though this is clearly not the case here, so I agree it's kind of weird. Either way it's consistent

[devout flume]

Yes, they chose safety, not a bad thing imo

[languid spire]

number of times I've had to debug bad C++ because of unintentional downcasts

[burnt vapor]

Also, my guess the reason why you do it here and not with things like integers is because of floating point inaccuracies

So explicitly specifying ensures this is not the case

[devout flume]

Is C# using a whole environment to run? (Like Java's VM)

[languid spire]

yes, the .Net runtime

[devout flume]

Oki that's what I thought

Thanks

[wary gale]

Hi, does anybody know how i can make the yellow UI image be under/behind the gray UI image? I've tried changing the z positions but had no luck. Thanks

Do i have to make seperate layers?

[slender nymph]

not a code question. but UI is drawn in the order it is in the hierarchy, so things higher up the hierarchy are drawn first, which means lower in the hierarchy are drawn last (or on top)

[wary gale]

ah, thought this channel was for unity beginners in general. Thanks for the help

[slender nymph]

nope, the code in code-beginner means it is a code channel

[wary gale]

oh really, i would have never guessed that

[timid ember]

in the calculator, I wanted to make one which can solve numbers without taking a big if chain for 2 numbers.

answer= System.Convert.ToDouble(new System.Data.DataTable().Compute(CurInput,""));

this shows error that I can not convert dbnull into double.

i imported system.data into assets and gave reference.

public class Clac : MonoBehaviour
{
    public TextMeshProUGUI disptext;
    private string CurInput="";
    private double answer;

    public void ButtonTap(string val)
    {
        if(val== "=")
        {
            ans();
        }
        else if(val== "C")
        {
            Clear();
        }
        else
        {
            CurInput=val;
            UpdateDisplay();
        }
    }

    public void ans()
    {
        try
        {
        answer= System.Convert.ToDouble(new System.Data.DataTable().Compute(CurInput,""));
        CurInput=answer.ToString();
        UpdateDisplay();
        }
        catch(System.Exception)
        {
            CurInput="invalid";
            UpdateDisplay();
        }
    }
    public void Clear()
    {
        CurInput="";
        answer=0.0;
        UpdateDisplay();
    }
    public void UpdateDisplay()
    {
        disptext.text = CurInput;
    }
}```

if i remove try and catch exception, the code gives that error
with this, it simply says invalid

they are backticks. the tilde key (on an american keyboard) . . .

i watched a tutorial and tried to understand the code(I know python so i assumed its like a dbms)

[sand snow]

//  void FixedUpdate()
 {
     Vector3 playerInput = new Vector3(Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal"), 0, 0);
     transform.position = transform.position + playerInput * speed * Time.deltaTime;


     Vector3 playerJump = new Vector3(0, Input.GetAxisRaw("Jump"), 0);
     transform.position = transform.position + playerJump * jumpForce * Time.deltaTime;
 }

lets go i did it

[steep rose]

well looking at your code, a couple of things, put inputs in Update() so they wont mess up or act jittery and as far as your movement being floaty, im guessing just make your gravity larger

[languid spire]

well, I would suggest you go and read the docs before trying to implement something you know nothing about

[steep rose]

also you are manually manipulating the transform of an object

[sand snow]

i forgot to mention the when i let go of space bar my characters gravity is effected more somehow

[sand snow]

no

[steep rose]

and applying it by time.daltatime

[cosmic dagger]

you're manually manipulating the transform but you have a problem with gravity?

[steep rose]

yes you are

[sand snow]

i am?

[timid ember]

any reference websites? I also have this as an assignment so gimme a quick help if possible lol

[steep rose]

your player doesnt respect gravity from what im seeing

[languid spire]

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.data.datatable.compute?view=net-8.0#system-data-datatable-compute(system-string-system-string)

[cosmic dagger]

you are setting the transform.position; this is manipulating the transform, which does not involve the physics engine at all . . .

[sand snow]

when i start the game my player still falls though

and if i manipulate the gravity is falls faster

[steep rose]

so you have a rigibody

[sand snow]

yes

ill put the whole code in so you can see

[steep rose]

then use its Addforce() or Velocity to move around

[sand snow]

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

public class PlayerMovement : MonoBehaviour
{
    public Rigidbody2D rb;
 public float speed;
    public float jumpForce;
    public float gravityForce;
   private void Start()
    {
       rb = GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>();
    }
 void FixedUpdate()
    {
        Vector3 playerInput = new Vector3(Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal"), 0, 0);
        transform.position = transform.position + playerInput * speed * Time.deltaTime;

        Vector3 playerJump = new Vector3(0, Input.GetAxisRaw("Jump"), 0);
        transform.position = transform.position + playerJump * jumpForce * Time.deltaTime;
    }

}

thats all my code

[timid ember]

using \ isnt necessary

\ \

[sand snow]

gravityForce does nothing i forgot to delete that

[timid ember]

so what do i do if i cant used datatable? any alternatives to immediately solve the problems without 3 massive if chains?

[steep rose]

okay first off as i said put inputs in Update() and use the rigidbodies Addforce() and or Velocity to move around

best you !learn

    {
        lastPos = controller.transform.position;

        float x = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal");
        float z = Input.GetAxis("Vertical");

        move = transform.right * x + transform.forward * z;

        controller.Move(speed * Time.deltaTime * move);
}

I've got this code here. Is there any way I could only check the x and z of the controller instead of the entire 3d vector?

[languid spire]

I don't even know what your 'problem' is as you have never specified it

[sand snow]

but addforce isnt that responsive i want my game to be responsive, and i though FixedUpdate is better for physics?

[steep rose]

yes by making a new vector with all of the parameters you need

[cosmic dagger]

just access the x and z axes or create a new vector with only the x and z values . . .

[steep rose]

Addforce is responsive you just need to know how to use it, but in your case it looks like you want to use its Velocity. FixedUpdate() is for physics system and is framerate independant

as i stated you really need to !learn

[cosmic dagger]

yes, but you must use physics methods in FixedUpdate, like AddForce and assigning the velocity property of the rigidbody . . .

[languid spire]

so you are making a simple calculator?

[timid ember]

yes

[steep rose]

also NO inputs should go in FixedUpdate() unless you want a stuttery mess, best put them in Update()

[languid spire]

then you jst need a simple string parser

[sand snow]

thank you

[livid gale]

For example. I want to check if x,z of last pos != move.transform.position

[timid ember]

will parse or tryparse work similar to compute? or do i use compute whilst using parse?

[steep rose]

make a new vector with your transforms X and Z values

[languid spire]

no, completely the wrong direction.
First you need to split your string into an array using the operands
then you can turn the string array into a number array
then you can apply the operands to get your answer

[steep rose]

and use said vector

[timid ember]

wouldn't that take just 2 inputs?

[livid gale]

I have no idea how to define it correctly. I was trying to do lastpos = (x, 0f, z) but I'm getting an error

[languid spire]

why, it can take as many inputs as you want

until they hit =

[timid ember]

k, im gonna try it out

[steep rose]

lastpos = new Vector3(controller.transform.position.x , 0 , controller.transform.position.z);

you assign it a new vector

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

[livid gale]

Thank you!

[steep rose]

but i would suggest you !learn either by the link or by the documentation

[timid ember]

am i supposed to use tokens tho?

[languid spire]

you might like to look at https://stevesmith.software/lysei/

[steep rose]

you might want want to keep the documentation in your bookmark menu

[steep rose]

shameless plug 😂

[livid gale]

Thanks for your advise

[languid spire]

it's just something I played with years ago

[timid ember]

does it use c#

or java

[languid spire]

of course

[steep rose]

like a scientific calculator?

looks neat

[languid spire]

equation solver

[timid ember]

does it directly compute like cs answer= System.Convert.ToDouble(new System.Data.DataTable().Compute(CurInput,""));

or does it use if statements for each operation and stops when it hits "="?

[languid spire]

Hey, I wrote it, It's much cleverer than either of those

[steep rose]

cool beans

[timid ember]

for a beginner, debug.log() and some of the most complex games are equally cool lol

[steep rose]

beginners dont know what debug.log() is

i dont know what you're on about 😁

[timid ember]

mb yo

[languid spire]

hard work, took me all of 3 hours to write

[steep rose]

you were slaving away at that program

[timid ember]

i think asking chatgpt for help was a massive mistake

[steep rose]

thats why we dont recommend it

[languid spire]

no surprise there

[timid ember]

it overcomplicated the code and i already forgot what i know

[steep rose]

welp better luck next time, dont use it

[timid ember]

the more i ask it to do it beginner style, the more it complicates itself

[steep rose]

stop asking it

[timid ember]

also, does dangling else work in c#

[steep rose]

you literally have your own server to ask in

[timid ember]

i once found a guy who was like a pro and was explaining about me using function and methods(wasnt aware of what it is) and i was barely understanding anything

[steep rose]

well he was explaining it?

so he should have explained it to your level then

[timid ember]

had to ask him to explain how he would explain to a 5 year old

[steep rose]

well my point still stands, best not use gpt

you have what, like 20,000 people in here?

i can assuredly say to you that gpt is nothing compared to that

[hexed terrace]

this is a code channel, where's the code relation in your question? if none, delete and ask in #🔀┃art-asset-workflow

Are there any errors with respect to unity?

[steep rose]

why ask us when the console tells you

if you get any errors or warnings, the console will scream at you

[hexed terrace]

It's also against the server rules to

• ask for help with code generated by AI
• give help to code generated by AI

[timid ember]

its a tut code

is that also against the rules

[hexed terrace]

If it's tutorial code... your question then doesn't make sense. 😄

[shell sorrel]

its really bad code either way

it makes no sense and abuses things that will just makes it harder to find bugs

like that try catch will just mask what is going on

[timid ember]

so ill have to make if chains
man 😦

welcome to unity for me i guess

[shell sorrel]

and is like the worst way to convert a string to double

[timid ember]

does writing a code in vs and vsc differ by any means?

[shell sorrel]

its jsut a tool to write code, all code unity sees compiles the same way

[timid ember]

k, tnx

[hexed terrace]

VS is better than VSC, if you have the choice

[shell sorrel]

realy does not matter for most, what ever is easier to get setup is what i would go with

[zinc grove]

What’s the write approach to start programming as a beginner

[devout flume]

Just an editor, one may become handier than another depending on what you're looking for, I personally prefer vscode as it's lightweight, and supports every language because it's just a text editor. You can configure it to mimick a real editor designed for specific languages but yeah

[timid ember]

i learnt html-->python-->sql-->C-->C#

i forgot evrything abt html

but yea python is good for base and C

learning either is easy

[devout flume]

C is very good to understand memory and how things work

[timid ember]

id prefer c

[devout flume]

C seems easy but it can become a hassle as it lets you do whatever you want

[timid ember]

C# is the better looking java

[hexed terrace]

There is no correct approach.

You do what works for you.

[shell sorrel]

learn the langauge that does the thing you want to do

no point going through a whole path, if you all you want to do is make a game that uses C# or C++

you will learn more if you can apply the skills to a project you care about and find intersting then just going through the motions
