click other settings

#

then go under configuration

#

Active input handling

#

and tell us what it says

oak kelp
#

this ?

steep rose
#

correct

oak kelp
#

do i change it to both?

languid spire
#

ok, you did save and recompile your code didn't you?

oak kelp
#

yes everything is saved

languid spire
oak kelp
#

keep it Input Manager (old)>?

languid spire
steep rose
oak kelp
#

i get no errors

#

even when i press A/D/Spacebar nothing happens

languid spire
#

can you put a debug.log in the update itself, just to check it is actually running

steep rose
#

hm, are you entering playmode? your code should work

#

did you try do up the values in the inspector?

languid spire
#

maybe the script/gameobject is disabled

steep rose
#

doesnt seem like it

oak kelp
oak kelp
#

i have it checked

languid spire
#

if the debug.log is showing then it's running. show the console

oak kelp
steep rose
#

no errors or warnings, unity isnt giving us a lot to work with lmao

languid spire
#

ok, good, you can remove that

oak kelp
#

im just dont understand why no work

steep rose
#

are you tabbed into playmode?

oak kelp
#

i just click the play button at the top

steep rose
#

do you click the game view tab?

#

if not try clicking on it then doing inputs

languid spire
#

there are only 2 reason why the Debug.Log inside the if does not print

  1. An error is happening before the if is reached
  2. You are not pressing the spacebar
oak kelp
#

ok sooo umm

#

i figured out the problem

#

i was clicking the top screen not the bottom one

#

im sorry for wasing time

steep rose
#

okay so you were not clicking on game view

#

no problem, it happens

oak kelp
#

i feel bad now im use to unreal engine

steep rose
#

why feel bad, it happens

#

you're all good

oak kelp
#

for wasing your guys time

languid spire
#

no problem, even I have been known to make mistakes (admittedly a very long time ago), lol

steep rose

#

i try many engines UE4/UE5, RPG Maker MZ, GameMaker and now Unity so now i hope i can get use to this engine

hey guys, quick question

when using the or operator ||, it means only one of the conditions needs to be true, right?

(im aware it's js code, but i figured the syntax is pretty similar so it accomplishes similar results)

steep rose
#

I would look up java operators then, they are probably the same but still

rich adder
#

javascript operator works the same as c# operator

steep rose
#

then the link stands true 😁

gleaming kraken
#

or well no

#

not an ampersand

#

but rather checking if authorized and then checking in a nested statmenet if authenticated

languid spire

rich adder
#

&& needs both conditions to be true

steep rose
gleaming kraken

that's a pretty fatal flaw here

this code is bad anyway, missing early return..if first one logs why even run the second if statement?

Im wondering how to make my character jump while inversed

This script is seperate from my player movement one

alright, thanks a lot!

languid spire
#

and nav is correct, there should be a return in there for it to make any sense

simple falcon
#

are quaternion understandings a beginners issue?

#

about to kick a gimbal to the moon over here

languid spire
simple falcon
#

so I need an angry wizard

#

how about, copying a quaternion and making sure its the same quaternion?

#

to the same object too

languid spire
#

no, you need a priest, just have faith they work

simple falcon
#

wololo

steep rose
#

and pass that for whatever

#

ig

simple falcon
#

heres the silly part, im sending it via osc, and reciving it via osc

#

so the meaning gets 'lost' and I have zero clue what Im doing

#

its for osc out to blender, but I had issues, so Im doing unity > unity first

#

90% the way there now

#

to blender will be another monster

#

RECEIVE | ENDPOINT([::ffff:127.0.0.1]:54057) ADDRESS(/rotation/L_Wrist) FLOAT(0) FLOAT(0.95881975) FLOAT(0) FLOAT(-0.28401527) this is my osc message, I can send hatebin stuff too, I hope this isnt too wizardry like when its quaternion to quaternion

steep rose
#

if im being honest, i have zero clue what OSC is

simple falcon
#

worst part is when i can swap an axis, it follows but you do another rotation and its no longer following, its crazy

languid spire
#

code please

simple falcon
#

sorry, preface, im learning a ton too didnt understand last week, osc is a protocol for sending info, I have a client and server on the game objects, just wanted to give preface and context because im using unity to build a app / tool here, was easier than using openxr and setting a dev environment, enough context though sorry

#

position follows fine now, although its an euler, works fine, didnt before lol

languid spire
#

line 46 is a big, big nono

simple falcon
#

testRotation = new Quaternion(testRotation.x + 0.01f, testRotation.y, testRotation.z, testRotation.w).normalized;

not Debug.LogWarning($"Position data mismatch or invalid for '{objectName}'."); Right ?

languid spire
#

yes, you can never manipulate the internal values of a Quaternion, so the + 0.01f and the normalized are out

#

'black magic box', do not touch for fear of explosion

simple falcon
#

Gotcha, removed that for now, for now won't be able to set it back to 1, 0 , 0 , 0 without it with my f key, not sure if I don't need it or not though for 'reset'

#

I want to be nice to the box

languid spire
#

1,0,0,0 is not a valid Quaternion.

simple falcon
#

sorry going by blender w, x, y, z in my mind

#

meant, 0 ,0 ,0, 1

languid spire
#

that is Quaternion.identity in unity speak

steep rose
#

oh are you making a unity to blender exporter or smth?

simple falcon
#

Unity to blender for openxr so I can use a mocap glove / oculus quest 2 hand tracking in blender

steep rose
#

ohhh you are gonna copy position and rotation from unity to blender

#

oh thats pretty neat

simple falcon
#

there's a tool out there already for now mocap fusion but processing time is ~15 mins for 2 mins of mocap, need something instant I have vmc4b with slimevr that works wonders

languid spire
#

sod that, I'd just write a python add on for Blender

simple falcon
#

I've been dying to animate something with hands so bad

steep rose
simple falcon
#

I have some of the python for blender ready to go too

#

I tried c++ openxr and the dev environment after ~8 hours got set and then couldnt get openxr to detect hmd 🧠💥 haha

#

1.5 days bye bye

steep rose
#

wait why not just make ik in blender and control it via Python or c++ (maybe)?

languid spire
# steep rose or c++

never done c++ for blender, always done it in python, didn't even know you could c++ tbh

simple falcon
#

c++ was for openxr, just couldnt get the dev environment running

#

quaternions were 1:1 awhile ago, but I kept writing code and ... oops

steep rose
#

you should be able to use c++ for it?

#

i wouldnt see why you couldnt

#

unless blender just says no to it

languid spire
#

not sure how you would link the libraries

simple falcon
#

Only need OpenXR skeletal data to blender bones so I tried to use unity, wish it wasnt because the xr stuff takes a bigger load on system already running face mocap at the same time in conjuction with it, takes more resources, makes more lag

languid spire
#

tbh everything you need to do should be doable in python inside blender

simple falcon
#

but for now its been ~1 week, it'd feel wrong to give up

#

do need access to openxr skeleton though

#

blender has openxr sort of

#

but not sure if 3.6 lts would support, that's where I'd need it

languid spire
simple falcon
#

my LTS has ~50 addons lotsa paid stuff thats intertwines, lotta custom code, old but stable!

languid spire
simple falcon
#

Yeah, 90% are updated but I have so much custom code backed into blender for my own comfort too, I tried 4.x, my friend switched over he also relies on addons like animaide that dropepd support in 3.4x but he rewrote some of the code to make it work, he's been carrying the old along with him regardless of support 😂🍴❗

#

unfortunately blender 3.4x vr experimental stuff is limited on documentation, not sure if it'd be worth debugging around to see if vr skeletal data would even be there

#

its just unity has the openxr stuff pretty accessible, with some resources, I think this might be a good method

languid spire
#

anyway, back to your problem, your ocs output looks ok, but are you sure you are reading x,y,z,w on the blender side because they are switched you may be better outputting w, x, y, z from Unity to make sure

simple falcon
#

there are ~15 + vtuber apps, virtual motion capture has finger capture, but the pinky finger does not rotate correctly, so much searching on github for example code hahaa

#

for now I need to get x y z w to be 1:1 in unity I think

#

I couldnt get the child objects to rotate right in blender so I wanted to try in unity first if that makes sense

#

unity > unity 1:1 make sure that its doing the right stuff

languid spire
#

makes sense, as I said apart from line 46, your code looks fine

simple falcon
#

thanks for poking around with it! for now I tried flipping values, it just got more confusing haha

#

kinda like rotating a rubix cube around if you dont know what youre doing

languid spire
#

rotations are always a bitch, try simulating a gyroscope if you want to end up in the mad house

simple falcon
#

oof no gif

#

rotates rubix cube around until it breaks again

#

I will try asking slimevr, they somehow figured out the madness histerical confusion

#

i dont see any jump code so

#

but thats the basic premace, just reverse whatever you are using to jump, probably a vector so reverse that

river garnet
#

Yeah its seperate from my movement code, let me paste that

#

!code

eternal falconBOT
river garnet
#

@steep rose this is my player movement code

steep rose
#

just reverse the vector using -

#

well reverse the inputs of it

river garnet
#

Which line and where do I put it

steep rose
#

rb.linearVelocity = new Vector2(-rb.linearVelocity.x, jumpingPower); this should work

#

just make a check if you are actually flipped

river garnet
#

how would I do that?

#

Im very new to this, dont quite grasp it fully yet

steep rose
#

just add a Boolean in Flip() that either toggles or doesn't depending on what the code does and see if that is true and if it is then use the opposite inverted jumping

river garnet
#

And would I put that script you just pasted in the gravity script or in my movement script?

steep rose
#

your movement script

#

i would suggest you !learn if you are new to this

Under an if statement?

#

Yeah im doing the learning, im just trying to get this figured out

steep rose
# 
if(isinverted){
  //do something
  // use inverted jump
}

if(!isinverted){
  //do something
  // use normal jump
}
river garnet
#

How do you make it know if youre inverted though

steep rose
river garnet
#

I dont know how to do that lmao

steep rose
#

its as easy as making a boolean variable and using it, either toggling it or not depending on if your code already toggles

#

boolean = !boolean; to toggle it (this should work, although i havent tested it)

I was interested in creating a first person shooter, but I cant' really figure out what's more beneficial, a rigid body player controller or using a regular player controller. Any ideas?

deft grail
north kiln
#

Kinematic character controllers are very robust and usually what I go with

timid geyser
#

I was wanting to make something that would use more momentum kinda.

north kiln
timid geyser
#

Huh, shouldn't I make something from scratch though? Wouldn't using that without knowing scripting too much be bad?

#

Thats something im torn over quite a lot dhap

north kiln
#

Yeah, if you have little scripting knowledge it's probably not the best recommendation. But there are tutorials that go over making a kinematic character controller from scratch. You mentioned momentum so it might not be the most suitable? It's really hard to say, and sadly it's not the simplest topic even though so many games require one haha

timid geyser
#

Yeah, after looking through Halo 3 vidocs, I realized just how complex controllers are despite being so simple to play with.

deft grail
#

just try making each of them and see what fits what you need, no harm in trying and learning all you just get experience

timid geyser
#

That was something I was doing. Was pretty cool to have that click moment with adding momentum to a rigid body. the mouse look is a bit weird though. Almost kinda like its choppy? or stuttery?

deft grail
north kiln
#

Just make sure you're not multiplying mouse delta by deltaTime

timid geyser
#

Rigidbodies seemed smarter for calculating velocity though.

Looks like we'll have to remove it from our recommendations

anyone know how i can modify my drag a bit more, to check if im on a different type of floor like ice or something or like glue? Would it be better do this a different way instead of making layers for each type of ground like NormalGround, Ice, and Glue?

You're probably doing something like setting the velocity directly I guess? If you're resetting it when the input is zero, obviously it's not gonna slide anywhere.

this is what i got for the movement atm, and the drag is just this, i also have stuff for sprinting crouching jumping and dashing, but that shouldn't affect this i dont think

I have a folder containing a bunch of unity test projects. I want to be able to upload them to a github repo so my friend can have access to the same projects and make changes to them accordingly, but it isn't allowing me to take my centralized folder and create a repo out of it. I guess my question is, how can I do that? OR is my understanding of how repos work wrong?

teal viper
#

A repo is just a set of files. There's no specific rule preventing you from uploading several folders

next moat
#

so in the structure, does it go:

  1. repo/folder
#

or
2) folder/repo

because I'm choosing 1

and it's not saying I've made any changes to the repo

and as I've added folders to the repo on my local machine, it isn't updating github for my friend who cannot fetch the changes I'm trying to make

#

and I've tried pushing those changes as well

teal viper
heavy knoll
teal viper
#

Aah, actually, I see what the issue is.

#

I guess you'll need to use both for finer control.
As for how you can detect a surface type, you could use a raycast or OnCollisionEnter to get the surface collider you're currently touching. Then you have many options to identify the surface type. For example, you could check the physics material it's using. Or check the object tag. Or have a component that defines the surface type.

#

the direction is wrong(haven't configured) but the code isn't displaying anything

#

it isnt drawing anything unless the distance of raycast is 500f

#

or more

north kiln
keen dew
#

If the raycast doesn't hit anything, distance is 0 so the debug.drawray length is also 0. Use a fixed length in that case

#

Also multiplying two vectors shouldn't even work

north kiln
#

Certainly a concern that the code shouldn't be compiling

#

if errors aren't underlined in red your !ide needs configuring

eternal falconBOT
misty breach
#

it still isnt colliding with anything

The code you've shown doesn't compile

misty breach
#

whaaaaa

vernal spear
#

Bruh.. did you even read what vertx wrote?

misty breach
keen dew
#

Wait, I take it back. Multiplication is defined for Vector2

#

It's still wrong though

vernal spear
#

do you see the sphere in the most right? that's what enables the debug draws

image.png
misty breach
vernal spear
#

just enable it, that's what he said as first

north kiln

#

Change it to this:

if (ok.collider != null)
{
    Debug.DrawRay(start.transform.position, new Vector2(x, y) * ok.distance, Color.blue);
}
else
{
    Debug.DrawRay(start.transform.position, new Vector2(x, y) * 5f, Color.red);
}
north kiln
#

Vector3 doesn't have a multiply, but Vector2 does

keen dew
#

Yeah, it just doesn't make sense here

north kiln
#

Your logic is very weird though, as Vector2.up*new Vector2(x,y) doesn't make much sense

#

The outcome would be the same as new Vector2(0, y)

#

Also change the raycast to use new Vector2(x,y) instead of multiplying

misty breach
#

realised he did so as he was making a side scroller

misty breach
#

also if may not be too much trouble could you explain what was wrong with my logic?

#

and what you did?

keen dew
#

Like I said, ok.distance is 0 when the raycast doesn't hit anything so the DrawRay was also 0 length when you multiplied by it

#

and like vertx said, multiplying the vector by Vector2.up doesn't make sense

misty breach
#

i see

Using UnityEvents, the event has a float as an argument but for some reason, this field is here and calls the function with 0.
How do i make it so it actually uses the event argument?

Hi everyone! help please. i make a multiplayer game using Photon Pun, and i have everything working, [actually], there are players on the server, but they are not visible in the game. i can throw all the scripts for multiplayer that i used. i tried to fix it, but it didn't work out.

ionic raven
#

How many lines of code should my player script have?

keen dew
#

42

ionic raven
#

42 seems VERY low

keen dew
#

43?

ionic raven
#

much better 😌

wanton iron
#

60

ionic raven
#

60 seems too many

wanton iron
#

50

but i think i need to cut down my script then, mine has 630

wintry quarry
#

630 is small

#

Why do you think you need to? It's a silly question

keen dew
#

That's the wrong question to ask. A script should have as many lines as are needed

#

If it starts to get several hundred lines long, it's time to consider if it could be split into multiple classes

how do you specify unmanaged types?

celest flax
# 
Vector2 lookDirection = (mousePos - pivotPos).normalized;
float lookRotation = Quaternion.FromToRotation(Vector2.right, lookDirection).z;
weaponPivot.rotation = new Quaternion(weaponPivot.rotation.x, weaponPivot.rotation.y, lookRotation, weaponPivot.rotation.w);```

I'm trying to rotate an object towards my cursor, and it works fine except that when the z-rotation is between -120 and -180 degrees, it just flips and becomes positive, and I can't figure out why or why it's for those angle specifically. Does anyone have any idea?
runic lance
#

if you want to specify the rotation in angles, use Quaternion.Euler

i wanna make it so that once it collides with a player/paddle, it bounces in the other direction at the same angle as its initial impact

rich adder
inland kettle
#

i tried that but the outcome is the same

slender nymph
#

did you bother going through the link i sent that will tell you why that code is not working?

inland kettle
#

it doesnt explain specifically why my code isn't working, it's a general overview on collisions in unity is it not

rich adder
#

did you click through the steps?

slender nymph
#

the issue is also answered by literally the first step

inland kettle
#

oh is it cause it was Collision and not Collision2D

slender nymph
#

make sure you read all of the information presented to you

inland kettle
#

thank you for the um clues

#

now collision works but it just goes in a rectangular path

slender nymph
#

show your current code

inland kettle
slender nymph
queen adder
inland kettle
#

doesn't really reflect, just kind of slides off the surface to another surface and slides across that one too. rectangular path again

#

happened the last time i tried vector reflect too

slender nymph
#

and what debugging have you done to ensure the values you are using are what you expect?

inland kettle
#

I just made it write a line for when it detects collision with the walls or paddles, and it doesn't write anything

slender nymph
#

well that at least indicates that the if statement is never true if a log inside of it never prints

#

which means you need to check the tag on the objects you expect this to collide with

amber nimbus
#

So question, why use ScriptableObjects when you can serialize variables in the inspector anyway? Is there any benefit or is it just cleaner code?

slender nymph
#

ScriptableObjects allow you to define a type of asset rather than just a component (which is what MonoBehaviour is for)

inland kettle
slender nymph
#

make sure you are printing that information outside of the if statement

inland kettle
#

yep, same problem

#

after it collides with the wall and paddle once, it doesn't register the tag anymore

slender nymph
#

show your current code

inland kettle
slender nymph
#

so if nothing at all is printed, then no valid collision is actually happening. are you sure nothing is printed, rather than maybe you have your console set to collapse mode?

inland kettle
#

no it prints the tag correctly twice, then it just prints the last printed thing over and over even though the tag isnt correct

slender nymph
#

it is printing the tag of the object that it collides with. if you think that the tag isn't correct, then it is colliding with something that has the incorrect tag. the logs are not lying to you

#

replace your log with this: Debug.Log($"{name} is colliding with {collision.gameObject.name} with tag {collision.gameObject.tag}"); and you'll see more info about what is colliding and can get a better idea of why that is happening

inland kettle
#

alright thanks

#

is it ok to send a vid of whats happening

slender nymph
#

if it is a proper screen recording and not recorded with a shaky phone camera, yes

verbal dome
#

I dont think that using Reflect with rb.velocity really works when colliding. When OnCollisionEnter gets called, the collision has already modified rb.velocity

#

Probably better to keep track of the velocity manually

slender nymph
#

sure but that's not what we are currently debugging. they are saying that the object being collided with has the wrong tag. i am trying to show them why. then we can move on to debugging the actual values they are using (like i suggested before this)

does anyone know why ScreenToWorldPoint is always returning 0,0,-1 for me? I'm trying to get Input.mouseposition to work with a camera space pixel perfect canvas in unity 2d

#

wintry quarry
native seal
#

for some reason my camera was on perspective

#

when it should have been on orthographic

#

pixel perfect was overriding it, not sure if it was just an inspector thing

slender nymph
# inland kettle

can you screenshot your console when this is happening. because we were trying to figure out why it was colliding with objects that had the incorrect tag. we need to address that before addressing your incorrect reflect

radiant frigate
#

the logic for going into the rollingstate is correct, made a debug of it and was working well, only thing is that the roll coroutine isnt working

Coroutines must be started with StartCoroutine() from a MonoBehaviour

I'm wanting to suggest that maybe the ball's collider is preventing the agent from getting closer.

marble hemlock
#

if i were doing an inventory system where the player would use their wasd keys to move around it, for different rows would i have the lists be nested inside another list, or tell it to just jump a certain number of slots (assuming the amount of slots is a multiple.

Like if I have 24 slots as a 6 x 4, and I want to go to the slot directly below number 1, it would need to check 6 slots down the list

#

i dont know which seems more reasonable

#

i feel like telling it to move 6 slots lower or higher if they click w or s would be easier but im not sure if its the best method to go about it

         movement.y += gravity * Time.deltaTime;

         cc.Move(movement * Time.deltaTime)

 void Jump() {
   movement.y = Mathf.Sqrt(jumpheight * -3.0f * gravity);

unity is struggling to know which MinAttribute you want to use i think

you can do that in 2 ways

by just doing UnityEngine.PostProcessing.MinAttribue attribute = ... when using it (or the other one if you want that)

or just do using MinAttribute = UnityEngine.PostProcessing; i think

When I'm trying to use an interface from another script and have a class inherit it do I have to reference the script that I'm getting the interface from? I'm attempting to have a class in another script inherit an interface but im getting an error of " The type or namespace name 'IInteractable' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)" I have the interface inheritance placed after Monobehavior like "Monobehavior, IInteractable"

cosmic dagger
# short spade Example ?

character controller, a turn-based battle system (any turn-based/ordered system), or anything that must be in one state of being at a time . . .

cosmic dagger
pure crest
#

It's an interface, I just renamed it cause I realized its poor naming convention, its IInteractable now

#

Nevermind, just solved it myself my bad

#

I gotta reference the original script just using dot notation, so I just had to make it "Monobehavior, InteractionHandler.IInteractable"

cosmic dagger
#

that's because you made the interface a member of InteractionHandler. it should be outside of the class (in its own file) . . .

pure crest
#

Yep you're right, I accidentally nested it inside InteractionHandler, I left it in the InteractionHandler file just cause I dont have a file just for interfaces right now so it just makes sense to me to leave it there, but moving it out of InteractionHandler so its not nested fixed it so I dont need to reference InteractionHandler before

most likely because your camera and body are rotating at different times or same forgot which

parent the camera to player remove the rotation on Y axis for cam

player rotating will make camera follow that rotation

but referencing the position of the obhect from the other script isnt working

polar acorn
#

What line is giving you a position you don't expect

misty breach
misty breach
polar acorn
misty breach
#

square is the gameobject which i assigned start

polar acorn
#

Okay and what is it assigned to

misty breach
#

sir

#

imma start crying now

polar acorn
#

Please stop saying sir and actually answer the questions I ask

#

How have you assigned a value to start and what is it assigned to

misty breach
polar acorn
# misty breach

Okay, so you have dragged in this object from the scene into itself

misty breach
misty breach
polar acorn
#

My first question would be why have the start variable at all instead of just using this.transform.position

misty breach
polar acorn
#

So, every time you use start.transform.position you're getting this objects current position.

Then, you're multiplying that position by 5 and using that as ray_end

misty breach
#

yes

polar acorn
#

So, that'd be the position five times further from the origin than the object currently is, in each direction.

Is that what you're going for?

misty breach
#

yes

#

wait

#

im going for the 5 times the pos in the current direction the object is facing

polar acorn
#

Nothing here involves a facing direction. You're just multiplying the position by 5

#

So if the object is at 0,0 the ray end will be at 0,0. If it's at 1,1, ray end will be 5,5. If it's at 100,100, ray end will be 500,500

I dont know why its changing states, even if isDashing is still true after the duration of the roll it still changes to some other state and doesnt check the update inside the rollstate https://hatebin.com/hpzrpuipte (state manager), https://hatebin.com/ymqgluhfmm (Player states), from what i think since im changing the state and the code isnt working unless that state is active the only thing that matters to read is the state manager and line 162-204 in player states

yes, i referenced the text to the button

I'm assuming you meant you attached the component to the object and referenced the object

yes

Is the function public?

Maybe you ought to show the function

If i have vector3 P1 , how to get Vector3 P2 on the direction line Vector3 V1?
is it Vector3.Project(P1, V1) ?

Depends what you're doing

#

I imagine P1 being a point relative to the center of the world and V1 could be relative to whatever you're getting it from and to

languid rivet
#

V1 and P1 both relative to world.

#

i know a random point on that line though

Projection works for vectors of the same origin as far as I'm aware, so if that's the case then just try it out and see for yourself

Use !myList.Any(...

languid spire
#

why would you want to use LinQ when a simple for loop will do the same job and is much more efficient?

north kiln
#

Either Any with double negative, or All. Linq is very readable, so just think about the logic you're performing

#

E.g.
itemInfos.All(a => a != b)
All elements don't equal b
!itemInfos.Any(a => a == b)
Not any (i.e. none) elements equal b

languid spire
# 
foreach(Transform a in transform.Find("App Windows Parent/App Window/Layouts")){
   bool found = false;
   for (int i=0;i<itemInfos.Count;i++)
            if(itemInfos[i].ItemDisplayName = a.name)){
               found = true;
                break;
            }
if (!found)  Debug.Log(a.name);
        }

or better

List<int> itemInfos
foreach(Transform a in transform.Find("App Windows Parent/App Window/Layouts")){
    bool found = false;
   for (int i=0;i<itemInfos.Count;i++)
            if(itemInfos[i] == a.gameObject.GetInstanceId())){
               found = true;
                break;
            }
if (!found)  Debug.Log(a.name);
        }

where itemInfos contains the gameObject instance id's so no string comparison

north kiln
#

If it was the same object then they could just do normal equality, or walk the hierarchy to see if it's a child

languid spire
#

did you see I updated the code?

#

look at my updated code if you want only objects not in the list

#

explain exactly what you do want, not what you don't want

#

but that logic is flawed. it will destroy all gameobjects

#

the current gameobject will not match at least one of the names in the list

#

then my updated code will work

its just hard to choose the game engine because people are saying that ae5 has better graphics and that roblox studio is better for success haha

#

i like unity tho

north kiln
#

Unity is well suited to VR

bright pewter
#

yeah, what kind of game are you making?

#

does Roblox even support VR?

#

eh, kinda.

I have never heard in my life that people actually use roblox for success

if you get like 100 consistant players in your game you´ll most likely earn a lot of money

As stated if you are thinking of coming over to unity you must learn from the link above

#

ive been coding for about 3 years with lua and ive met a lot of other devs that have made a lot of money

languid spire

#

i never said that

#

i just enjoy making games, im just having a hard time choosing. That´s all.

#

a physics based game with gorilla tag movement

#

why not?

#

thankfully c# and lua are kind of similar so ive made 2 simple 2d games in unity the past 2 weeks

#

what are you making?

#

oh nice!

#

dang

languid spire
#

that is still not my updated code, it will not do what you asked to do

#

how else do you expect to check if the name does not appear in the list at all. And if you dont like proper logic figure it out yourself. I'm done

#

and that from the man who wanted to use LinQ

steep rose
bright pewter
#

i never said it was the same

#

If you are wanting to solely make a VR game then Unity is fitted for it

is that from ur game?

are u using gtag movement too?

#

is there any way of feeding variables into the [Range(,)] attribute?

short hazel
#

Values passed to attributes must be constants. So you can make two const fields and put them into attributes (they won't show in the Inspector), but impossible for regular fields/properties

#

A custom property drawer and attribute could emulate that like Naughty Attributes does, where you pass the names of the variables instead of theire values, and they're resolved at runtime:

public int Min, Max;

[CustomRange(nameof(Min), nameof(Max))]
public int Value;

#

is there a consensus about whether to explicitly mark MonoBehavior event functions as "private" or not?

#

just in terms of style

short hazel
# distant fossil just in terms of style

Since Unity calls them, and that you're not meant to call them yourself (either from the same class or from another), I'd keep them at the highest restriction level which is private

#

If you do not specify an access modifier, private is implied

distant fossil
short hazel
#

Read the message right above

distant fossil
#

oh so you're saying just leave it as-is since it's private anyways?

short hazel
#

Yep it's a matter of code style, if you prefer it to be explicit or not

distant fossil
#

the thing is that in normal C# code I use private explicitly everywhere

north kiln
#

The .NET convention is to specify

distant fossil
#

and I think it's almost misleading to call them "private" since they're not really private, they're just called by Unity magically

short hazel
#

Unity script files are taken from template files which you can modify yourself

h++ mean increment AFTER so, yes, if youj did ++h then h would be 1

you do specifically say 'h=0' do you not?

it seems the issue is in the first script since thats the one i changed right before it started leaking?

that should be Destroy(gameObject) not Destroy(this)

Technically Destroy(this) is also valid, and safer

In case you have multiple components on that GO

why dont you try doing what the messages tell you to do?

do what?

also i //'d the GameOver() method and it stopped

so this causes the memory leak

i think both destroy this and gameobject work in my case

You'd probably want to destroy the game object if you're using Singleton pattern unless you're just wanting to destroy the script and not the game object.

i had no idea that would cause a memory leak though wow

I've just started using Unity.Netcode in a script. But Unity complains about the namespace not being available. I've doubled check that NGO is installed, I've already put some network script on go.

Does anyone recognizes the problem ? Unity hints to reference an asmdef but none are available for Unity.Netcode. (Though there's com.unity.netcode.editor but that seems to be internal)

#

asking some guides again for this

#

in my code the tower that detects enemy can only detect one game object so im planning to make an array so that every game object it detects within range can be detected and have those values transferred to another tower

grand badger
#

Yup! You can do: string[] s = myTMProTextReference.text.Split('\n');

#

\n is actually a character, not a string, and represents the beginning of a new line in text

fervent abyss
#

thanks

grand badger
#

you can swap '/n' with System.Environment.NewLine which is more correct for multiplatform, but in Unity splitting by \n will always work.

unity cannot serialize multidimensional or jagged arrays. you could create a struct that has a GameObject array and use an array of that if you need to

I'll try doing this

(I changed waves name to enemiesInWave)

slender nymph
#

you need to access the array variable inside that object

languid spire
#

do you initialize your arrays?

bold saffron
slender nymph
#

the same way you access any variable on any object. using the . operator

#

remember your array does not contain arrays but rather your class that itself has an array

bold saffron
#

what

languid spire
#

to use praetors example
waves[i].enemies.Length

It's important to read and understand the error message, rather than just seeing "error" and guessing

apologies if this is the wrong place to ask this. I've used QualitySettings.vSyncCount = 1; but I can't find like a visual way to see if it's working. How can I check? The line of code doesn't seem to affect the VSync checkbox above the editor window no matter what I do.

#

When you do that, the FPS will be fixed to your current monitor's refresh rate

Alternately you can make a few tall cubes whose color contrast with the background, and wiggle your mouse left to right. If you can't see any tearing along the vertical lines, VSync is active

So theres two things that i dont understand currently. First of all, i dont know what i did but after editing this script and running the Game it freezes the entire thing. Also, I want to make it so that every time timer or timerA hits zero it spawns a gameobject at the random x and y coordiantes. However when testing all the Prefabs spawned at one coordinate instead of a random one.

public class GameManager : MonoBehaviour
{
    [Header("COLIN")]
    public int maxSprites = 8;
    public int currentSprites = 0;

    [Header("SCORE")]

    public float timer = 3;
    public float timerA = 3;

    [Header("AYBARS")]
    public int maxAybars = 3;
    public int currentAybars = 0;

    public GameObject Colin;
    public GameObject Aybars;
    public StatsManagerScript statUPDATE;

    Vector2 spawn = new Vector2(Random.Range(171, 215), Random.Range(380, 300));

    void Update()
    {
        
        timer -= Time.deltaTime;
        timerA -= Time.deltaTime;

        while (currentSprites < maxSprites)
        {
            if (timer <= 0) 
            { 
            currentSprites++;
            Instantiate(Colin, spawn, Quaternion.identity);
            timer = 2;
            }
        }

        while (currentAybars < maxAybars)
        {
            if (timer <= 0)
            {
                currentAybars++;
                Instantiate(Aybars, spawn, Quaternion.identity);
                timerA = 2;
            }
        }

    } }
languid spire
tulip nimbus
languid spire
#

ok, what is the value of timer the first time it executes

tulip nimbus
#

3 if im not mistaken

languid spire
#

3 - deltaTime to be precise. So how is currentSprites ever going to increment?

tulip nimbus
#

as the code is in the Update() function i thought that timer decrements every real time second until it hits zero and is then set back to 2

#

or are you saying it isnt going down at all?

languid spire
#

but you are in a while loop, not the Update loop, it never exits it once it enters

short hazel
#

Execution enters the loop. Timer is greater than 0, the if is skipped, and the loop's condition is evaluated again. currentSprites hasn't changed so the loop continues. Timer is still greater than 0. The if is skipped. Repeat, infinitely. Your game freezes since your code never ends.
Unity will not render a new frame until all of the code has finished executing.

tulip nimbus
#

oh ok that makes sense, so the timer variable is always 2?

languid spire
#

no, it is always 3 - deltaTime

tulip nimbus
#

ah ok

languid spire
#

and the while cannot exit

#

that should probably be if statements not while statements

tulip nimbus
#

im going to try to implement something else with my code regarding this thank you so much in advance

#

Ok i changed the conditions into the if statments alone and it worked thank you guys! However im still kind of confused about the random.range Vector

Is anyone able to help me with a clamping issue?

 if (isRotating)
        {
            
                currentMousePosition = Input.mousePosition.y;
                mouseMovement = currentMousePosition - startMousePosition;

                transform.Rotate(Vector3.right, -mouseMovement * speed * Time.deltaTime);

                startMousePosition = currentMousePosition;
                
                
        }

I know I could track the values by using transform.localeulerangles.x but I don't know how to store the angle since I can't do transform.localeulerangles.x = MathF.Clamp ~~~~

#

I want to track the angle of the shape that's being rotated

#

then clamp it so it can't go past certain angles

Ok
