[slender nymph]

did you follow the instructions i just gave you? if no, then fucking do that.

[rancid tinsel]

is there a mobile alternative of some sort?

[slender nymph]

if yes, then screenshot the entire visual studio window with the solution explorer visible

[velvet mulch]

I already did that ?

[languid spire]

not for StreamingAssets, no

[slender nymph]

#💻┃code-beginner message

[stone pilot]

The problem isn't solved yet...

[slender nymph]

show what you've done

[stone pilot]

    {
        leftLegRB.AddForce(Vector2.right * (speed));
        yield return new WaitForSeconds(seconds);
        rightLegRB.AddForce(Vector2.right * (speed));
    }

    IEnumerator MoveLeft(float seconds)
    {
        rightLegRB.AddForce(Vector2.left * (speed));
        yield return new WaitForSeconds(seconds);
        leftLegRB.AddForce(Vector2.left * (speed));
    }```

removed the 1000 and the deltaTime

[slender nymph]

was the the only instruction you bothered following?

[rancid tinsel]

oh i think i know what you mean, its the different directories from here right? https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/StreamingAssets.html

[echo sand]

    void ChangeWayPoint()
    {
        Bounds Bounds = WanderingArea.GetComponent<MeshRenderer>().localBounds;

        float DY = WanderingArea.transform.position.y;

        float DX = Random.Range(-Bounds.extents.x, Bounds.extents.x);
        float DZ = Random.Range(-Bounds.extents.z, Bounds.extents.z);

        Vector3 Destination = new Vector3(DX,DY,DZ);

        Agent.SetDestination(Destination);
   }
``` im trying to get a random position in a plane but its not working for some reason?

[stone pilot]

leftLegRB.AddForce(Vector2.right * speed, ForceMode2D.Impulse);

should it be like this?

[velvet mulch]

Do I screenshot my code or another place idk where the solution explorer is

[languid spire]

yes, note how it says read-only

[rocky canyon]

ur probably confusing world and local spaces

[slender nymph]

exists. simply google "visual studio solution explorer" and you'll get plenty of info about how to open it if it is closed

[velvet mulch]

relax dude Im new to unity

[fast tendon]

i have just created a completely new project, i have the latest version installed yet it still shows this

[rancid tinsel]

ah i see, ill have to revise how im using persistentDataPath as well then

thank you

[echo sand]

ye im trying to use local space so it works with rotated planes aswell

but im using local bounds tho

[severe acorn]

That’s not unity related, is visual studio related, if you never used visual studio in the first place I recommend ya yo learn the basics first instead of going directly to unity learning

[rocky canyon]

void ChangeWayPoint()
{
    Bounds bounds = WanderingArea.GetComponent<MeshRenderer>().bounds;

    // get the world position
    Vector3 center = WanderingArea.transform.position;

    // random local offsets
    float DX = Random.Range(-bounds.extents.x, bounds.extents.x);
    float DZ = Random.Range(-bounds.extents.z, bounds.extents.z);
    
    // Create the new random destination, applying the offsets to the center
    Vector3 destination = new Vector3(center.x + DX, center.y, center.z + DZ);
    Agent.SetDestination(destination);
}```

[slender nymph]

then submit a bug report or something. this is package code so it's not like you're gonna be modifying it to fix any errors.

[fast tendon]

but until then how can i do almost anythign iwthout a code editor?

[slender nymph]

are you new to computers too? you should be able to figure out that if you don't know where a specific window in visual studio is, you can easily google it.

[echo sand]

ah i see, mb ty

[fast tendon]

in the past it was working, yesterday it suddenly started giving me error

[languid spire]

best bet, copy streaming assets to persistent data at start up and then just use persistent data thereafter

[rocky canyon]

give it a try, im not at my editor to test for sure

[velvet mulch]

I know that but if I dont know what to do with that info I also cant google it yk

[slender nymph]

i've told you what you can try, those steps are really the only steps to take for package issues

[fast tendon]

where can i submit a bug report?

[slender nymph]

alright well we're getting nowhere with you arguing about how you are too incompetent to google something you don't know and you've still not bothered providing the screenshot i asked for so good luck solving your issue

[rocky canyon]

i've also wondered if there was computer skill issues... best i can say
is : if u continue to have troubles my solution would be to Install the Unity version you want w/ Visual Studio selected in the modules.. (it should (this way) configure it as it installs)

[slender nymph]

let me guess, you had regenerated the project files before but you only just now restarted visual studio?

[rocky canyon]

🧐 sus

[velvet mulch]

shut up yall not even helping

[slender nymph]

that's 100% a "yes"

[rocky canyon]

now ur dilusional

ive seen many people trying to help u..

dont be ridiculous and say u haven't

[echo sand]

its kind of working, its also going out of bounds tho

[severe acorn]

They at least tried to help you, is not their fault of your incompetence sorry to tell you

[rocky canyon]

ohh it may need halved?

ohh nvm extents. is half

[echo sand]

thought about this aswell

[rocky canyon]

u could debug it a bit more

see if u can tell how far out of bounds it travels

[velvet mulch]

yea explaining smth like I already know what the problem is

[rocky canyon]

or just give it the min and max values as a test

and see what its doing

[rocky canyon]

    // Calculate the min and max world positions based on the bounds
    float minX = center.x - bounds.extents.x;
    float maxX = center.x + bounds.extents.x;
    float minZ = center.z - bounds.extents.z;
    float maxZ = center.z + bounds.extents.z;

    // Log the bounds and world limits for debugging
    Debug.Log($"Bounds: MinX={minX}, MaxX={maxX}, MinZ={minZ}, MaxZ={maxZ}");

that shuld be ur limits

[echo sand]

ur right it was halved for some reason. i put (* 2) not it works

[rocky canyon]

whoop whoop 👍

[stone pilot]

    {
        leftLegRB.AddForce(Vector2.right * speed, ForceMode2D.Impulse);
        yield return new WaitForSeconds(seconds);

        rightLegRB.AddForce(Vector2.right * speed, ForceMode2D.Impulse);

        ClampVelocity(leftLegRB);
        ClampVelocity(rightLegRB);
    }

    IEnumerator MoveLeft(float seconds)
    {
        rightLegRB.AddForce(Vector2.left * speed, ForceMode2D.Impulse);
        yield return new WaitForSeconds(seconds);

        leftLegRB.AddForce(Vector2.left * speed, ForceMode2D.Impulse);

        ClampVelocity(leftLegRB);
        ClampVelocity(rightLegRB);
    }

    void ClampVelocity(Rigidbody2D rb)
    {
        float maxVelocity = 5f;
        rb.velocity = Vector2.ClampMagnitude(rb.velocity, maxVelocity);
    }``` 
Hmm this works but makes the gravity a bit shitty..

[rocky canyon]

thats b/c when u modify velocity directly.. its overwritting it

soo w/e gravity you've included. whatever way.. like AddForce for example.. that'd get clamped as well

u could instead check if ur over ur threshold and still use AddForce for it if ur under

that'd be pretty close to a limiter

  Vector2 clampedVelocity = new Vector2(
        Mathf.Clamp(rb.velocity.x, -maxHorizontalVelocity, maxHorizontalVelocity), 
        rb.velocity.y
    );
``` you could also try clamping horizontal forces and ignoring vertical ones..

[stone pilot]

Alright thanks for the help but my lap went off.. when it goes back on I'll be trying that (I'm on my phone)

[rocky canyon]

good luck 🍀

[timber comet]

This is for a multiplayer game (with client ownership)

[burnt vapor]

Hi, you were actually helped very well. You can consider it offensive that people tell you to Google an issue, but there will be plenty of terms that you don't know and you should learn to look these up so that we can properly help you.

[rocky canyon]

most multiplayer assets ive used have a viewer or something
w/ a isMine property

[timber comet]

thx

[rocky canyon]

might be something to look for

        if (networkIdentity.isMine) // Only control if this object belongs to the local player
        {
            HandleMovement();
        }```

what are you using to build your multiplayer?

[timber comet]

normal netcode, i mean im not using Mirror

[timber comet]

im still new to networking i made some singleplayer projects

netcode is a lot more difficult

[rocky canyon]

im going on 4 years and i still havent done a mutliplayer project (past joining a lobby and starting)

got a jumpstart on me lol

[rocky canyon]

very much so..
the only advice i can give is start implementing multiplayer early on in development

soo many people i see.. like "oh i made this big singleplayer game, how hard would it be to convert to multiplayer Now"

[timber comet]

so i should use this inside my function? 'Cause im using the new input system

[rocky canyon]

you'd use it anytime u want to only run code on a local version of something

just an example, not a real component or anything btw

the isMine thing was just the main point i was making

without it.. everyones inputs would be trying to move everyones players 😅

[timber comet]

I would just give up at that point, its like re-making the game

[rocky canyon]

basically... imo it'd be harder

gotta start that stuff as soon as possible.. so ur rewriting as little as possible

[timber comet]

Thx a lot btw

[polar acorn]

The job description of a software developer might as well be "Is somewhat better at googling than the average person"

[burnt vapor]

This is painfully true

[timber comet]

btw, now that i think about it, i could add local components when the player is spawned by the network manager and send a reference to it or something like that

[clever raven]

"Better at prompting LLM's than the average person" 😀

[polar acorn]

I said "Software developer" not "finance bro who thinks he understands computers"

[long jacinth]

Hello im making a game where each cities u can build buildings and stuff so my idea is that every city has a list called buildings and the list will have different types ** but i want those types of buildings to have their variables that contain levels and costs and stuff and i want it to also be accessable from the city script that the list is in**, how can i approach this idea

[rich adder]

hold them in a list that you access via singleton for example or a scriptable object that contains all the buildings

[long jacinth]

dayum last time i did a singleton that didnt end up well

scriptable object it is i guess but the problem is

i want each city to have its own factories that have their own levels and costs

[rich adder]

scriptable object thats what they're for

or just use a regular POCO thats serialized, you just have to create all your buildings in an array / inspector which may not be ideal compared to actual assets

[long jacinth]

whats a poco

[rich adder]

just a regular object like a class/struct

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plain_old_CLR_object

public class Building {
public int Cost;
public int Level;
}```

[long jacinth]

sooo a scriptable object could work better

[rich adder]

but with scriptable object is better because its saved on disk and easier to access modify later on or create more of them with 1 button click

[long jacinth]

ok ig i can do that

[rich adder]

[CreateAssetMenu(fileName ="BuildingData")]
public class BuildingData : ScriptableObject {
public int Cost;
public int Level;
public Sprite Icon;
public Tranform prefab;
}```

[long jacinth]

[CreateAssetMenu(fileName ="BuildingData")] im assuming thats what saves it on disk

[rich adder]

this just gives you the menu so you can create it with a button click instead of using the Create method and doing it manually

you can also use the menu name to assign custom categories and paths

[rancid tinsel]

is there a way of eliminating non-english alphabet characters when reading a text file into a list?

or even just spaces

[rich adder]

string.replace probably or regex

[rancid tinsel]

can you replace " " with ""?

[languid spire]

yes, it would have taken you less time to try it for yourself than ask the question

but anyway regex is the way to go. good luck figuring out how to use it correctly though

[white obsidian]

how do i reduce a certain objects box collider if it's already deleted, for example : i deleted a wall but forgot to reduce its collider, now i can't shoot through that place

[wintry quarry]

The collider is a component on some GameObject in the scene

Find that object and modify it

[rich adder]

why collider would be there if object was deleted or are they separate objects ?

[long jacinth]

but now theres another problem each city will have the same building options but i want each building to be a different level depending on if the player upgraded for the city

[white obsidian]

i deleted from the hierarchy with DEL button the object, but the collider is obviously ( i think ) still there, because i can't shoot through it

[wintry quarry]

The collider doesn't necessarily have anything to do with the visible renderer.

[rich adder]

ok well they must've been two seperate objects because when you delete an object all components are deleted, including colliders

[clever raven]

I am a bit new to Unity, but wouldn't you just use objects and arrays to do this? Each city is an object, each building is an object, each city has an array of objects of buildings, etc

[rich adder]

what is a different level ? isn't that the point of the int ?

[clever raven]

For example I am making a tile based game right now, each tile has an associated object that holds all the info on the tile such as it's sprite, type, name, etc

[white obsidian]

I'm sorry for the nonsense i might speak :D, I'm pretty new, so i made a wall for a level let's say then i duplicated my level and deleted the levels left wall, i can move through the space, but i can't shoot fireballs through it, is it colliders issue or for what should i look?

[rich adder]

could you screenshot the object you duplicated

[wintry quarry]

Look for a collider

[polar acorn]

You probably deleted the mesh, but not the collider

[wintry quarry]

You can also have your fireball code print the name of the object it collides with

(and ping it in the hierarchy)

[white obsidian]

I did this, and deleted the left wall from the Red square i pointed out

[white obsidian]

oh yea, ty

[rancid tinsel]

im guessing regex is more efficient then?

[languid spire]

yes, but very difficult to get a handle on

[rancid tinsel]

i guess ill test the performance on this and look into regex if needed then

[languid spire]

simple option is turn your text into a char[] and then itterate over it looking for non ascii characters

[rancid tinsel]

i thought of that too but it might be potentially 100s of strings

i feel like doing it char by char would be awful performance-wise

idk if string.replace works any different though

[languid spire]

at the end of the day, whatever method you use, will have to do that

[rich adder]

stack overflow to the rescue when in doubt
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/123336/how-can-you-strip-non-ascii-characters-from-a-string-in-c

[naive pawn]

is this "non-(english alphabet chars)" or "(non-english) alphabet chars"

[long jacinth]

the problem is i dont want all factories to be upgraded at the same time

[naive pawn]

no, but it makes it more concise

[slate marten]

hi little sigmes

[eternal needle]

Regex really isnt that bad, use sites like regex101 to just test it in real time. You can basically brute force the solution here and regex101 has a guide on the same page for the symbols to use

[slate marten]

im new

im a low level beginer

[long jacinth]

for example if i upgrade my factory in new york its gonna be at level 2 but if i dont upgrade anywhere else they will all be level 1

[slate marten]

brute force?

teach me

[rich adder]

in that case you would just need to copy any mutable data onto a POCO and have each Building class hold that poco , use scriptable object only as base-stats , always use a poco to mutate

here we can learn more about scripting or we only ask questions or help? im new to this server

[slate marten]

im asking questions sorry

smith

[naive pawn]

you could ask to learn but there's much better resources out there for that
this is mainly for asking for help with specific issues

[rich adder]

if you want to learn more you check out the links in the pinned message. otherwise this is more of a "Im stuck with this code help me see what could possibly be wrong" etc.

[slate marten]

what

[long jacinth]

but wouldnt it be the same how could i avoid the problem with POCO

[steep rose]

if you want to !learn unity you can use this link, I would suggest using documentation to learn things about unity you do not understand and to keep tutorials as a reference. you can follow tutorials just don't use them solely to code.

[eternal falcon]

:teacher: Unity Learn ↗

Over 750 hours of free live and on-demand learning content for all levels of experience!

[slate marten]

thanks senior skibidi

[rich adder]

because each POCO is its own instance so modifying one building to say Level 2 would not affect any other building with the same POCO.
Where as scriptable objects if you changed level/price on it, it affects all buildings using that SO as data

[steep rose]

the same goes for learning C# in general
https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/learn/csharp

[slate marten]

i think its better unity thing because is more specific etc

[rich adder]

Unity is nothing more than an API / and Bunch of components. You still need core C# under your belt

[slate marten]

not to much

for what i know its the most things different

[steep rose]

you will need to learn C# to code with unity, as unity uses it as a base

[long jacinth]

but poco is a script if i do BuildingScript.cost = 1500; it will change everything else

[rich adder]

no because each script is its own instance
(they all have their own copy of the data)
unless it was a reference type of the same object..
Value types such as int you are always working with copy

[slate marten]

if i learn for the unity isnt better?

[steep rose]

the unity learn link I sent will go over the absolute basic functions of unity, it will not teach you about in depth C#

[slate marten]

what u mean by depth

[rich adder]

more deep into the subject of c#

[steep rose]

I mean its not a C# tutorial, it teaches you basic functions of unity like how to use transforms, basic rotations, positions etc

[slate marten]

yes but i need C# only for unity not for other things

[slate marten]

i alr know that things

[rich adder]

the code is the same

[slate marten]

its not

[rich adder]

what changes is how you use that code

[slate marten]

it has different things

[rich adder]

thats nothing to do with C#

[slate marten]

the most of the codes are for component on unity

[rich adder]

thats the Unity API

[slate marten]

how i know i can have addforce on rigidbody2d

[rich adder]

you need C# understanding to know how to use it

[slate marten]

if i dont learn

[steep rose]

as I said, it teaches you the basic functions of unity, not in depth C#

[long jacinth]

oh i get it so the script isnt attatched to an empty or non empty gameObject and is in the assets and i drag it in the city slot so that way the script itself wont be changed

[rich adder]

yes but if you dont know what a function is or where to place youd have no idea

[steep rose]

you would want to learn C# to use unity correctly

[slate marten]

function?

u mean voids?

[short hazel]

Unity uses intermediate to advanced concepts of C# that are better off learned outside of Unity first. Like everything related to object-oriented programming

[rich adder]

they're not called "voids"

[slate marten]

public voids?

[rich adder]

this is why you don't learn in unity first

[short hazel]

void is the return type

[slate marten]

in unity u dont use functions

as what i know

[slender nymph]

they are called methods or functions. void is a return type

[mossy bay]

I am using this script for dialogues in my unity project. How do I restrict my Player's movement when the dialogue pops up until it finishes?
https://paste.ofcode.org/b5cXC9VRM5T2HWsxqfPi7S

[rich adder]

well its wrong..

[slate marten]

i use void for things like a function for a button like load a scene

[rich adder]

void are literally return types for functions..
hence they're called functions not voids

[steep rose]

just learn how to use unity, and C#

[slender nymph]

you use that return type for the method you declare for it, yes. it is not called "a void"

[runic lance]

my man do everyone a favour and go learn some basic C#, it'll help a great deal in the long run

[slate marten]

🤝

in unity when u use functiosn?

never seen it

[slender nymph]

yes you have

[steep rose]

reference your movement script, and turn it off when dialoging and turn it back on when not dialoging

[slate marten]

example?

[rich adder]

you just said one before..

[white obsidian]

what do i do to fix my autocompletion in visual studio in unity, i did go to edit >> preferences >> and it is on visual studio, however, when i restart my unity hub it goes to visual studio code for some reason and i need to manually do it again all the time, but even tho it is on visual studio there's still no autocompletion

[rich adder]

AddForce is a function

[slate marten]

it was a void not a function like u call

[slate marten]

oh

wait

[slender nymph]

literally every one you've already written. those things you (incorrectly) call "voids"

[slate marten]

well its voids

its comes from vodis

[rich adder]

fix it in the preferences

might need to assign it a couple of times and restart unity to fully affect

[slate marten]

why void is blocked for a word?

[rich adder]

can you not spam nonsense

[slender nymph]

we have already explained to you why that is wrong. void is the return type. the block of code you write that has a return type of void is still called a method or function

calling them "voids" is incorrect

[short hazel]

This is a "function":

void Start() { }

as well as this:

int Sample() { return 42; }

In C# they're called methods, not "voids". What would you call my int Sample() example? An "int"??

[slate marten]

its hard to learn too because im not totaly ennglish

what the hell is that
int Sample() { return 42; }

[short hazel]

A method

[slate marten]

yea i learned eng but im not totaly

[slate marten]

never seen it

[rich adder]

I'm not english too anything is possible

[short hazel]

Well now you've seen one lol

[slate marten]

i cant understand full of what they're saying like: return type

[steep rose]

you tricked me then 😂

[slate marten]

what you mean

[short hazel]

They're not that different from the ones returning void

[languid spire]

Acutually it comes from the Middle English or Old French meaning vacant

[rich adder]

try googling anything you dont know, and translate it if anything

[slate marten]

what

[slate marten]

it takes too long

[steep rose]

I have zero clue if you are trolling

[slate marten]

how much did take you to learn it

[rich adder]

well if you have no patience and time to learn, coding is perhaps not for you

[slate marten]

how am i

[slate marten]

i mean for search it on google translator

[rich adder]

searching anything on google is part of the job

[slate marten]

im born in europe

[slate marten]

wydm

[steep rose]

it takes too long
this is either a troll or pure laziness

[rich adder]

coding isn't the only part of developing, thats just a tool to a much bigger picture

[slate marten]

i mean for search to goole translator what means return type

[slate marten]

wydm

liike

[white obsidian]

yeah, ty, it helped with the problem with opening in vsc, but autocompletion is still not working for some reason, i saw a tutorial where it said to regenerate project files, i did that, still autocompletion doesnt work, maybe you have an idea how to fix that?

[slate marten]

wich one

[short hazel]

I thought "wdym" and the like answers were blocked by the antispam bot

[slate marten]

which one

[steep rose]

I never said his native language isnt english.

[slate marten]

every answers is blocked

why

idk where to start

[steep rose]

we gave him some, he does not want to use them

[slate marten]

never said that

[rich adder]

are you using VS or VSC ? show the solution explorer

[slate marten]

what the hell is vsc

im using vs

[steep rose]

you said you already knew what a function but you dont know what it is but do not want to learn what it is

[rich adder]

very serious crap

[short hazel]

lol

[slate marten]

never said i dont want bro

[steep rose]

I gave you choices #💻┃code-beginner message and #💻┃code-beginner message

[slate marten]

i cant tell by shorcut

[slate marten]

never rifiuted

[steep rose]

okay then, you must learn if you would like to use unity

[slate marten]

when i finisch that where i continue

u mean when i finish the other or now

btw thans for searchnig it up for me

[steep rose]

you would either look for more tutorials for C# and Unity or start making a project using the things you learned

then come back here and ask questions

[white obsidian]

im using

[slate marten]

i think i would not

too poor

[rich adder]

okay yeah thats a problem. Right click on it and and you shoould see a Reload with dependencies somehwere

[slate marten]

better

[short hazel]

Wouldn't recommend buying stuff when free things can be better

[slate marten]

yes

[steep rose]

but don't cling onto tutorials or else you will solely rely on them which you do not want when building game

[white obsidian]

You're awesome! thanks a lot ! ❤️

[slate marten]

btw what is vsc

[steep rose]

Visual Studio Code, an IDE

[slate marten]

what is that for

[steep rose]

its what you code in

[slate marten]

what changes from vs

i already use vs

i know some things in unity

[steep rose]

VSC is a basic IDE, practically a text editor on steroids

[slate marten]

ide?

[slate marten]

steroids?

im not english

[short hazel]

You sound like a little kid

Asking questions at an extreme rate

[slate marten]

bro i only know that definition

i dint say i was english

[steep rose]

Integrated development environment = IDE, is what you code in

its the basic tool for programmers

[slate marten]

why people when u are not english think ur stupid like what

its nosense

if know how to speak english doesnt mean im fully eng

[steep rose]

ofc

[slate marten]

im not christian im not religionic

[steep rose]

he was speaking to me, also I would recommend bringing your life to Christ

[hardy jewel]

religionic lol

[slate marten]

did u read that im not english

bro like what

[short hazel]

This is a code channel people, let's keep stuff on topic

Make a thread or take it to DMs if you want to continue this conversation

[slate marten]

Religionic, lol.

[steep rose]

okay well I would suggest using what we gave you to learn unity and C#

[slate marten]

why this dude is saying poor me like what

ok

[steep rose]

once you are done with the courses and understand them, make a project and start making a simple game

[oak kelp]

how can i get Generate constructor when i press Ctrl + it doesnt give me a option to do that

[polar acorn]

Are you trying to generate a constructor for a MonoBehaviour

[oak kelp]

yes trying too

[slender nymph]

is there a specific reason you need a ctor on a MonoBehaviour? because you shouldn't be instantiating those manually anyway

[oak kelp]

well its not with MonoBehaviour its with PlayerState

[slender nymph]

does player state inherit from MonoBehaviour

[oak kelp]

yes

[slender nymph]

then it is a monobehaviour and my previous statement stands

[oak kelp]

i have it like this

public class PlayerIdleState : PlayerState

[slender nymph]

and if it inherits from monobehaviour then you should not be calling its constructor

[stiff abyss]

Hello

[slender nymph]

is there a reason it inherits from MonoBehaviour?

[oak kelp]

it does not sorry i was wrong

i still learning

[astral falcon]

So PlayerState is just a class

[slender nymph]

Then just type ctor and press tab twice to add the snippet

[oak kelp]

thx

i am wondering why my letters are not green in is Script

[oak spear]

Hey guys im new in c# and i dont know why the variables isnt shown in the game. Any ideas?

[polar acorn]

Show inspector of this component

[ivory bobcat]

They're all blank fields

The values from the declaration of the field are only the defaults

[polar acorn]

That seems to be exactly what your screenshot shows, what's the problem?

[ivory bobcat]

Once the object has been created, whatever value you've set them will become the new value - set through the inspector.

[oak spear]

So the values I set in the code wouldn't work, only in the inspector right?

[ivory bobcat]

Reset the component and you'll see that they are the default initialized values but you can change them - which you have.

[oak spear]

omg yes reseting it worked

[ivory bobcat]

Changing the value anywhere would change the value

[ivory bobcat]

The values assigned during the declaration of the variables are only the default initialized values.

[oak spear]

tysm it worked when I reseted it ❤️

[long kayak]

I have no coding experience but wanted to ask about the possibility of something. Can I write a script for this?
My problem:
I work with 100s of materials per .blend file and want unity to automatically assign the textures to the proper materials, my diffuse and normal map import just fine but the roughness never goes to the gloss map, I have to import them manually and it takes forever. I've already inverted the rough to make a gloss through photoshop. Honestly I've been having ChatGPT write the script and it never works. Yes I know that's probably bad... Please help <3

Blender : shader (example)
ximage_658d180e02a375a3.tga - color
ximage_2c89f70020bd2728_Gloss.png - roughness
ximage_2c89f70020bd2728_normal.png - normal

unity shader : Bumped Specular SMap (what I want)(example)
ximage_658d180e02a375a3.tga - diffuse/specular
ximage_2c89f70020bd2728_Gloss.png - glossmap
ximage_2c89f70020bd2728_normal.png - normalmap

[astral falcon]

How did you assign the textures? Maybe you ar ejust targeting the wrong property

[long kayak]

wdym how did I assign the textures? you mean in Blender?

[astral falcon]

Oh you mean the standard import of your file is setting the wrong textures, my bad

[ember tangle]

Why do I have to multiply by -1 in Physics2d raycasting for the mouse position to work?
Vector3 relativeMousePosition = new Vector3(Input.mousePosition.x, Input.mousePosition.y, camera.transform.position.z * -1);

[astral falcon]

Because 0 is your camera pos. so you are shooting nowhere in 3d space

[long kayak]

no no the normal and diffuse import fine but the shader I use in unity doesnt support roughness but instead gloss. I want the roughness to be imported into the gloss map on import.

[ember tangle]

But Physics2d shouldnt have that dimension at all?

[astral falcon]

why are you taking a vector3 at all then?

[ember tangle]

It has to

Dev post: Raycast/Linecast for 2D take Vector2 not Vector3 because they operate along the X/Y plane only as it’s 2D physics not 3D.

yet, if I don't multiply by -1 it doesn't work.

[astral falcon]

And if you just set it to vector2?

[astral falcon]

If its working with -1, i assume your camera is somewhere in the negatives in 3d space. Unity 2D is still 3D just with z axis at 0 and maybe some other optimisations, at least the last time I worked with the 2d space

[ember tangle]

I understand all of that, but this in the context of the Physics2d function and the requirements to get it working. camera.ScreenToWorldPoint(relativeMousePosition)```` is being taken as a Vector2 argument anyway RaycastHit2D hit = Physics2D.CircleCast(camera.ScreenToWorldPoint(relativeMousePosition), 0.25f, Vector3.zero, 0);```

yet it literally wont work without that third dimension

[north kiln]

Why are you doing a cast with zero distance

[ember tangle]

cast at mouse point

[north kiln]

Nope. Use overlap circle

[ember tangle]

it all works perfectly and performs well, I just want to know why the -1 is needed

overalp circle is probably more elegant. Still not sure on that -1

[north kiln]

I can only presume that somehow depth matters in this situation, and presumably being at the camera position doesn't work, only in front of it does

but OverlapCircle might just fix the issue

[astral falcon]

I guess, thats why the docs use the nearclipplane in 2D, just to have the correct position for the interaction in 2D space with the flattened clip plane distance.

[normal turret]

How does slope-handling in Unity work...?

Looks like everything is working but I came to a problem...

The movement and animations work fine but when I jump and land on a slope, it doesn't immediately change to idle, it still falls when I land on the slope

Is the slope detected in the ground check...?

[astral falcon]

there is no unity way of handling it. You are using a script, that handles it. Share it and check it out for yourself to see, where its happening.

[normal turret]

I might watch some YouTube tutorials on slopes for Unity 2D...

Everything works fine (except for the jumping animation, I have to also figure out why that's not playing fully)

I just have to watch some slope tutorials to add to my ground check maybe

[astral falcon]

If the tutorial addresses this issue, you might have to rewatch it and read the code provided. But apart from that, I am guessing, that you have some kind of animator with a transition from falling to next state which is taking too long. But thats something you can easily debug log, log when it hits the slope and log, when the animation turns from falling into slope

[normal turret]

So for slopes I don't have to do anything special apart from just setting the velocity of the player to 0 (to prevent it sliding)...?

I saw they were doing that in one of the tutorials, I might add that soon

[astral falcon]

yeh, but not the issue right now, stick to the problem you introduced and show the code addressing the behaviour

[clever raven]

Anyone have any tips on how to generate a random number of rooms between my minRooms and maxRooms? The code I am trying right now is only do the min rooms and I know I can do better. I am not sure how random works in Unity. Anyone know how I can improve this loop:

int maxAttempts = maxRooms * 5;

while (rooms.Count < minRooms && attempts < maxAttempts)

[wintry quarry]

int numberOfRooms = Random.Range(minRooms, maxRooms + 1);
while (rooms.Count < numberOfRooms && attempts < maxAttempts)

[clever raven]

Now I guess I just need to google what type of distribution Random.Range uses haha, Thank you

[wintry quarry]

a uniform distribution

[viscid cliff]

so i've just started working on an fps project and am very inexperienced; for some reason, my jump function sometimes sends my player incredibly high and i don't know why.

if(Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Space) && isGrounded)
        {
            Player.AddForce(jump * jumpSpeed, ForceMode.Impulse);
            isGrounded = false;
        } ```

[teal viper]

What values do jump and jumpSpeed have? Are you modifying them somewhere?

Btw, the correct way to share C# code is ```cs

[viscid cliff]

public Vector3 jump;
    public float jumpSpeed = 2.0f;```

[teal viper]

Why do you need both jump and jumpSpeed? What does the jump variable represent?

[viscid cliff]

honestly i'm not quite sure

[teal viper]

Did you not write that code?

[viscid cliff]

i'm still trying to figure literally everything out

[teal viper]

In this case, I'd suggest going over the beginner pathways on unity !learn

[viscid cliff]

!learn

[eternal falcon]

:teacher: Unity Learn ↗

[ember tangle]

You still need to invert the z coord even though it allegedly is not taking a Vector3.

[normal turret]

Ok so after playing around, I found I think one of the issues causing it...? When I land on a slope without moving, it works but when I land on a slope while moving left or right (walking and running), it stays stuck in the fall animation until it reaches a level platform

That and some other main problems: the jumping, falling and double jumping animation logic works but the whole animatino doesn't play

[north kiln]

That makes absolutely no sense. You must be doing something wrong or you're using a perspective camera with 2D rendering for some weird reason

[normal turret]

And also some parts of the tiles have like invisible collisions which stop me for some reason

[north kiln]

If you're using a perspective camera, then you must understand that ScreenToWorldPoint depth matters greatly and will completely effect the resulting position relative to a 2D plane https://unity.huh.how/screentoworldpoint

[normal turret]

This is my ground check code so far:

        RaycastHit2D collisionDetection = Physics2D.BoxCast(boxCastCollision.bounds.center, boxCastCollision.bounds.size, 0.0f, Vector2.down, rayCastDistance, tileSetLayer);
        return collisionDetection.collider != null;
    }```

[restive linden]

I've got people that tested my game and have saved files already. Now that the game is releasing I want a way to delete old save data. What would be the best way to go about that? I was using a playerprefs for currentgamevers and if it's older than a certain number I delete. Does that work find? Or should I do something else?

[rich adder]

if you want to delete all data you just PlayerPrefs delete all

[restive linden]

I know how to do it, I'm asking the best way to delete all old data. The new data and old data are saved the same way. I should have renamed the new data but it's too late for that

so I check if the playerprefs is updated to the new version. If it isnt I update it and delete all data

[rich adder]

if they have different keys then you can distinguish otherwise you gotta do some hackey stuff and go into the folder manually to check the date saved

another reason not to use PlayerPrefs

[restive linden]

checking date could work

[ember tangle]

...that explains everything.

[topaz fractal]

the code is the EXACT same for me and the tutorial, yet for some reason when i play, this happens

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

public class Floater : MonoBehaviour
{
    public Rigidbody rigidBody;
    public float depthBeforeSubmerged = 1f;
    public float displacementAmount = 3f;    

    private void FixedUpdate()
    {
        if(transform.position.y < 0f){
            float displacementMultiplier = Mathf.Clamp01(-transform.position.y / depthBeforeSubmerged) * displacementAmount;
            rigidBody.AddForce(new Vector3(0f, Mathf.Abs(Physics.gravity.y) * displacementMultiplier, 0f), ForceMode.Acceleration);
        }
    }
}

Here is the code

The block is supposed to act as if its floating on the plane

like its in water

the video is from 4 years ago, so possibly one of the methods i referenced isnt around anymore?

[wintry quarry]

This is definitely not the problem

First step first: open your console window in the unity editor and keep it open always

That way you can see any errors that are happening

[topaz fractal]

got it

[wintry quarry]

Second step would be to add debug.log statements into your code at strategic points so you can see if and when specific code you expect to run is actually running

[topaz fractal]

an example would be where, in the code is sent

[wintry quarry]

Where the force is added

[topaz fractal]

so from that i figured out why it wasnt being called

he set ocean level to 0 on unity map, changed it to 1000

its being called now, but its not floating, any tips?

just moved it all to 0 and fixed

[cosmic gorge]

i followed a tutorial and made this code, and in the tutorial the player was able to move after the script was attached to the player body, but mine cant, even after i compiled the code multiple times and there are no errors in the code

[cosmic gorge]

also, all required components are in the player body and so is the script

[teal viper]

You should be looking at the unity console for errors, not wherever that screenshot is from.

You should be looking at it at runtime too. There might be runtime(not compile) errors.

[cosmic gorge]

alright i'll check

thank you

[teal viper]

Lastly, when confirmed that there are no errors, start debugging your code. Use debug logs to debug relevant values. Start from the bottom-up - from the closest code to actual movement.

[cosmic gorge]

sorry im super new to this how do i do that lol??

so sorry lmao

oops

wrong reply

i was wondering how to look at runtime errors, but i figured it out

Hi, friends, I am having trouble finding the build report from the console -> Editor.Log I am using a Mac, and attached is the build report I got, When I was using Windows I got a full report for each texture and their sizes on mac there are no sizes appear. (BTW I'm building for web).

[astral falcon]

Did you follow this? https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/ReducingFilesize.html

[fickle wagon]

Yes, I did exactly but I see details only if i build for android not for web. @astral falcon

pretty sure the second line of the report explains why not

[fickle wagon]

Oh, certainly I'll clean build my project @languid spire

[sturdy wharf]

hey,
I have a simple 2D game in unity, where there is a little stickman with differnt parts of his body (left leg, right leg, left arm, right arm, head, torso) all with rigid bodies and stuff and i have a script where i can click and drag around the stickman and he moves and interacts with phyics and stuff. For ages i was trying to make a code where the stickman gets up and then walks using animations and stuff, but becuase the game is very physics based i thought it would be cool to make the walking phyics based too, kinda like games like TABS and Stick It To The Stickman. the only issue is, im very bad at coding haha. so i kinda just putting this here as almost a thought thing, where u guys can give me a general idea of how to make like phyics based walking (or if u know a tutorial) or if u wnated to actually help write the code. thanks !

[rare basin]

private void UnloadLoadingSceneAndFadeOut()
{
  var activeScene = SceneManager.GetActiveScene();
  Debug.Log("Current active scene: " + activeScene.name);
  Debug.Log("Unloading loading scene");
  
  AsyncOperation unloadOperation = SceneManager.UnloadSceneAsync(activeScene.name);
  unloadOperation.completed += (AsyncOperation operation) =>

      isSceneLoaded = true;
      OnSceneLoad?.Invoke(currentScene);
      fadeScreenCGT.TurnCanvasGroupOn(false);
  };
}

why am i getting null reference exception in this line unloadOperation.completed += (AsyncOperation operation) =>, the prints are correct

the unload scene async doesnt even work, the scene is not getting unloaded

[burnt vapor]

There must be at least 2 scenes active in order to use this method

If you don't have this, then unloadOperation will be null

At least, that's what Google tells me in this case

[rare basin]

there are 2 active scenes

[burnt vapor]

Even the docs do not specify that the return type can be null

[keen dew]

Do you have warnings enabled? It should show a warning if it returns null

[rare basin]

because i use unload on LoadingScreen scene, when the level scene is loaded

[burnt vapor]

Very odd

[stuck palm]

how does this work? like having multiple options in a single enum.

is it bitwise operations or something

[rare basin]

i only get this warning

[burnt vapor]

These are called flags, and you can have flags on enums with the FlagsAttribute attribute

[keen dew]

so it's the only active scene

[burnt vapor]

Well yes, so there's only one scene apparently

[rare basin]

hmm not sure why, im calling the unload in .completed operation in another scene load

but thanks atleast i know where to look

maybe it needs 1frame delay or something

well it indeed fixed it

just wait for end of frame

gimme a sec

[wintry quarry]

looks like it's the THirdPersonShooterController.

Basically on line 58 it's trying to do something with a Transform, but you destroyed that Transform

so it becomes sad

[wintry quarry]

probably because of the OnTriggerEnter code here that destroys objects

[reef oracle]

so am i cooked

[wintry quarry]

I don't know what you mean by that

[reef oracle]

can i fix this without changing alot of stuff

[wintry quarry]

You seem to immediately throw your hands up in despair when you run into issues

you will need to change that if you want to be successful in game dev

[reef oracle]

no just looks like that to u

[wintry quarry]

I have no idea because I have no idea what you're trying to do or how any of your game currently works.

[reef oracle]

im just trying to make my guy shoot a bullet

and have the bullet move

[wintry quarry]

this seems like a pretty basic projectile system. It's not compicated in general, so probably not a lot to change, no.

[wintry quarry]

you will need to make sure:

• The correct scripts are on the correct objects
• The code is written properly with appropriate capitalization etc

if your player Transform is being destroyed I would guess you put the script on at least one object it doesn't belong on.

or it could be some other code entirely

impossible to say without seeing the project/scene.

It was already mentioned but this screenshot makes it clear you haven't

There's no point in helping until you did this

[queen adder]

Is byte immutable or mutable ?

[reef oracle]

i have Visual Studio

[burnt vapor]

immutable

You mutate the field that it exists on

Same with all value types

[wintry quarry]

I mean... that's kind of a philosophical question

but yeah Fused has a good answer

[burnt vapor]

Then follow the tutorial for those

I guess immutability depends a lot on other factors, but without those these are the basics

[queen adder]

Wdym field ? byte struct only have two field and they're constant

[wintry quarry]

meaning if you do:

byte b = 4;
b = 6;```

you're not mutating the original 4 value

you're overwriting the value stored in b with a totally new value

[queen adder]

Okay thanks

[burnt vapor]

I mean you don't mutate the actual byte, you mutate the containing variable with a new byte value

[queen adder]

Ah i see, okay thanks

[wintry quarry]

It's almost a moot point because there's not really a way to "refer" to a struct - you can have variable references with ref but that's the variable

[burnt vapor]

This applies for all numeric types

Even a string, which is not a value type

But a string is hardcoded to be immutable

But strings are weird in general

[ruby python]

Hi all, If you would indulge me, I've had an idea of how to spawn enemies in my asteroid belt game. But I'm not entirely sure how to actually do it. 😕

Here is the 'world' layout.
Grey - Asteroid Belt
Green - Planet
Blue - Space Stations.

The idea is that the further the player is away from a space stations 'sphere of influence' the more likely it is for a group of enemies to spawn and attack the player. So at a point exactly equal distance between two space stations, the chance of enemies is the highest. I know how to do it if only one space station is involved, but with two I'm not sure. Especially as the initial start point for the player is at a random Space station.

Would anyone have any pointers please?

((I have the spawned stations GameObjects stored in a list btw)

[winter aspen]

Question: I've got an abstract class like this

public abstract class Foo<T>
{
    T data;

    public Event(T data)
    {
        this.data = data;
    }
}

and an implementation:

public class Bar: Foo<MyClass>
{
    public Bar(MyClass data) : base(data)
    {
    }
    //This constructor is triggering an error
    public Bar(Vector3 from, Vector3 to)
    {

    }
}

is it impossible for children to have extra constructors even when the base one is satisfied?

[ruby python]

Not sure if I'm correct, but you're naming the two 'Bar' s the same, so would that not be the issue?

[rich adder]

you can have multiple methods same name if they have different signatures

[ruby python]

Ah okay. Took a shot. lol.

[winter aspen]

they're constructors, it's natural they have the same name

[rich adder]

iirc you would need to do
public Bar(Vector3 from, Vector3 to) : base

[winter aspen]

can I still call the base constructor from within?

the idea being: I use the vectors to initialize the data class, then pass that to the base constructor

kinda similar to this

public Bar(Vector3 from, Vector3 to): base(null)
{
  MyClass instanceData = //some calculation using the vectors and other properties
  base(instanceData);

[rich adder]

i think you can only do cs public Bar(Vector3 from, Vector3 to) : base(new MyClass(from, to)) { // other stuff }

[winter aspen]

okay thanks

[lost anvil]

ive got an issue dragging rigidbodies as seen in the video and its got something to do with how im calculating the mouse position im pretty sure but i dont really know another way to do it

https://hastebin.com/share/gozuyubaho.csharp

[rich adder]

I would not use mouseWorldPosition

use ray.origin or a holdPointTransform.position

also would recommend using .velocity instead of addforce

[lost anvil]

right ill try that

[burnt vapor]

No, the child can have constructors. You just have to base to one of the parent constructors

If there was an issue then maybe share that

[winter aspen]

not an issue, was confused about the CS error, but seems like making an empty constructor in the parent dolves it all

[rich adder]

private void FixedUpdate()
{
    HandleMouseInput();
    if(rb != null)
    {
        rb.velocity =  objectHoldPos.position - rb.position;
    }
}
private Rigidbody rb;
private void HandleMouseInput()
{
    RaycastHit hit;

    if (Physics.Raycast(mainCamera.transform.position, mainCamera.transform.forward, out hit, maxInteractDist, layerMask))
    {
        if (Input.GetMouseButton(0))
        {
            hit.collider.TryGetComponent(out rb);
        }
        
    }
}```

[lost anvil]

id rather do it myself but thank you 👍

[burnt vapor]

Yeah, because then the parent indicates that you don't need to pass required data into it. This was the case with the two initial constructors, but an empty one will be called regardless and doesn't need anything passed into it

[rich adder]

just giving out an idea. dont have to copy it 1-1 just an example anyway

[burnt vapor]

This is most syntactic sugar. In the end base() is still called but it's optional now

[lost anvil]

thanks 🙂

[winter aspen]

Thanks

[lost anvil]

whys this btw?

[rich adder]

its more precise control over the velocity

AddForce adds onto the current force which can cause weird issues if you dont Clamp at some point

[lost anvil]

ah right was that why my door was spazzing out

because it was just adding force

[rich adder]

ohh thats for a door, though it was a pickup script

you can use addoforce, but put the door on a hinge and only push in your forward direction

[lost anvil]

right okay i would like to be able to pull it too but im assuming thats a different story

[rich adder]

to pull just -(inverse) the AddForce direction

[long jacinth]

how doesnt this work lol literally the guy in the tutorial did the same thign 1:1

because it's not the same

you did it wrong

Anybody know why my animation isn't playing?

[rich adder]

does this object or "Mouse" object have a rigidbody ? and 1 of colliders set trigger?

[languid spire]

I can think of at least 4 reasons

[formal hill]

It doesn't have a rigidbody, but it does have the collider as "is trigger"

[rich adder]

well then there is a big problem there, Trigger/Collision methods only works with a Rigidbody

[formal hill]

Oh thank you! I've been taking a small break off of unity so I totally forgot.

[languid spire]

next time Debug your code

[rich adder]

are you using world objects or UI btw ?
Instead of physics for this you should probably be using the Event Trigger / IPointer interface from Event System

using physics for this is probably overkill if its just an interface interaction type deal

[solar orchid]

Can anybody help me? I’m trying to make a survival game Kinda like ark survival but I don’t know where to start. I watched a few videos like around 10 videos about coding and how to make players. I just don’t know what I should do first I wanna make a player first I just don’t really know how to and it’s really complex can anybody give me some tips or tricks???

[rich adder]

start with structured courses !learn you have to built your way up. When you build a house you don't start from the roof

[eternal falcon]

[solar orchid]

Ty what should I call my game?

[cosmic dagger]

learn c#, do the unity beginner and intermediate scripting tutorials. research what type of systems you want: health, hunger, thirst, inventory, resource management, crafting. at the beginning stage, all your players are cubes; don't worry about models . . .

[rich adder]

start building it , the name will come to you later as you build , trust

[cosmic dagger]

that's on you. it's your game, and not smth you should worry about right now . . .

[solar orchid]

I want all those things in my game

[solar orchid]

Ok Ty

Can you change the name of your game later on or is it just stuck with one name?

[cosmic dagger]

cool. write it down. make a checklist. work on one at a time, but do all of the basic level stuff we mentioned above . . .

[solar orchid]

Ok

[cosmic dagger]

you'll have the name of your before you release it. you won't finish any time soon. so, again, it's nothing to worry about . . .

[solar orchid]

Ok

Right now, I wanna work on the inventory the day and night cycle and the player movement and player stuff that the player would do

[cosmic dagger]

do you know what a collection is? array, list, queue, stack, etc.?

[solar orchid]

No : I

[fleet granite]

i'd learn the basics of programming first and then move on to unity

it's no big deal, won't take too long

i admire the aspiration but you have to start from the ground

throwing yourself at unity until something barely works is more likely to demoralise you

[solar orchid]

Ok

[fleet granite]

good luck!

[cosmic dagger]

exactly. crawl, then walk before you can run. you're thinking too far ahead. learn the basics of C#, learn beginner and intermediate programming with unity, then start working on your features . . .

[wild widget]

I tried to make a simple dash in 2D

    void OnDash(InputValue value)
    {
        if (value.isPressed)
        {
            PlayerRigidBody.AddForce(Transform.right * 10, ForceMode2D.Impulse); // i tried Vector2.right too
            Debug.Log(Vector2.right * 10);
        }
    }

Unfortunately only Debug.Log was triggered, anyone can help?

[solar orchid]

I made a playlist of all the things I need to do for my game like there’s this video that tells you how to code a day and night cycle and that’s what I kinda wanna do but I also wanna get better at coding while I’m making my do you think that’s good

[cosmic dagger]

how does your player move, using physics or manipulating the transform?

[wild widget]

physics

[cosmic dagger]

which method of physics?

[fleet granite]

i'd start by ignoring unity for now
try to understand basic programming concepts (preferably in C#, as you want to use unity)
you can find looooooaaaads of resources online to start your learning, so you're spoilt for choice

how much programming experience do you have?

[wild widget]

rigibody velocity

[cosmic dagger]

thought so, setting the velocity will cancel (override) the force you're adding . . .

[wild widget]

ahh

[wild widget]

thankssss

[solar orchid]

Over the years, I’ve watched like tons of videos of people making video games in like 1 week I don’t wanna do that. I wanna make a game in like seven weeks but keep on working on it and never stop. But I’ve watched lots of videos. About coding. I’ve just never really listened. I just liked watching how interesting it. Is to make a game and I wanna make one.

But I’ve started watching videos about how to code and I’m listening as much as I can

[cosmic dagger]

watching and actually doing it are two different things. just start learning C#. check the pinned messages or view this: <#💻┃code-beginner message>

[solar orchid]

Ok

[ruby python]

Soooo. Any chance anyone has any ideas? Bit stumped. lol.

[cosmic dagger]

the tiny blue dots are the space stations. when the player is a set distance from the space station, it spawns enemies to attack the player or the planet? also, where is the player? does it protect the planet from the enemies that spawn from the space stations?

[ruby python]

Best advice from experience that I can give (and still a relative beginner myself). Don't try to make your 'final' game straight away. Try a bunch of different things, maybe that focus on different aspects of a game and make simple things to begin with)

[solar orchid]

OK, I kinda wanna make my game today. I’m gonna start out a little. I’m gonna make sure I don’t do too much. That way I can learn while I’m making my game. But it won’t be the final product of my game. Since I’m still learning.

[ruby python]

Okay, so the player flies around the asteroid belt, collecting resources, visiting stations etc. the enemies will be pirates that attack the player, but I'd like the likelihood of an attack to increase the further away from any of the stations the player is.

ie. The pirates avoid getting too close to a station because of the defenses (there will be 'events' where the pirates directly attack the station(s), but that bit is easy.

[ruby python]

Okay, make a little plan of what you want the game to be (camera angle etc.) and go from there. You may need to go through a lot of different iterations trying out different things as there are many ways to do certain things (character controllers for example, there a literally hundreds of video tutorials out there, and tbh a loooot of them are absolute garbage)

[solar orchid]

Ok

I found one that I think is pretty good

And most of the people liked it and commented that it was good so I think it’s a good one

[ruby python]

Okay, try it out and see how it goes. I'm the same, I learn best by doing. Currently got about 30 different 'protoypes' of game ideas (different genres etc) and each one I've done I've learned a bunch of invaluable stuff.

[solar orchid]

Ok

[cosmic dagger]

not a problem. you can use distance checks to determine which space stations (SS) are furthest away to spawn enemies from/towards . . .

[cosmic charm]

Quick question, when I try to handle movement when working on Machine State, should I write the script of moving in the Player script? or should I write it in the PlayerState script?

public void HandleMovement()
    {
        xInput = GetInput().x;
        MoveCharacter();
        ApplyLinearDrag();
    }

    // Input handling logic is within the Player class now
    protected Vector2 GetInput()
    {
        return new Vector2(Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal"), Input.GetAxisRaw("Vertical"));
    }

    // Movement logic, directly controlling the Rigidbody2D
    protected void MoveCharacter()
    {
        rb.AddForce(new Vector2(xInput, 0f) * movementAcceleration);

        if (Mathf.Abs(rb.velocity.x) > maxMoveSpeed)
        {
            rb.velocity = new Vector2(Mathf.Sign(rb.velocity.x) * maxMoveSpeed, rb.velocity.y);
        }
    }

    // Handles linear drag and deceleration
    protected void ApplyLinearDrag()
    {
        if (Mathf.Abs(xInput) < 0.4f || changingDirection)
        {
            rb.drag = linearDrag;
        }
        else
        {
            rb.drag = 0;
        }
    }

like where should I write these functions?

[cosmic dagger]

Basically, you loop through each SS and check the distance from the player. the furthest station is assigned each iteration until you have the furthest SS at the end of the loop. spawn enemies from that one . . .

[torpid hamlet]

Why wouldn't this work? Just trying to walk over something and teleport the player GameObject back to 0, 0, 0

[deft grail]

because it doesnt get executed

or your updating the position elsewhere also

[cosmic dagger]

place a log in the method to see if it runs (is triggered) . . .

[rich adder]

debug the trigger with a log, if its a Character Controller then you have to disable it before teleport and enable it again

[torpid hamlet]

This is probably why!

I have a character controller script

[cosmic dagger]

we don't know how you're moving the player, if you're using the correct collision method, etc . . .

[cosmic dagger]

they meant the unity CharacterController component . . .

[torpid hamlet]

But before enabling and disabling the player let me just put a debug log to see if it actually triggers

[torpid hamlet]

And the component also

[ruby python]

Right okay, I think I get it. 🙂 Thank you.

[rich adder]

https://unity.huh.how/character-controller/teleportation
check this if you suspect it is.

[rich adder]

but yea this should always be your first step to anything not working as it should. Always logs never make assumptions

[torpid hamlet]

Tbh I thought I did a log and I didn't understand why it didn't appear :))

Just forgot it

[rich adder]

dont post videos of code, use the proper methods of sharing code

[torpid hamlet]

Good news, it is logging, I'll do the enable and disable the controller component

[formal hill]

No one answered my message in #🏃┃animation so I decided to send it in here

[rich adder]

well that is crossposting and not allowed #📖┃code-of-conduct

[formal hill]

Oh sorry then

[formal hill]

It does involve coding though

[rich adder]

then properly post the code using codepaste webslite links and describing clear what the issue is, looking through a video just to possibly know the issue is extra work for the potential helper

[uneven mantle]

hi y'all, I'm getting back to unity dev after a LONG hiatus, is there a guide on how to attach a debugger (ideally vscode) to a built unity game on pc? Note: not the editor, not "build and run", but a build someone else already did, because I need to debug that one.

[rich adder]

https://unity.com/how-to/debugging-with-microsoft-visual-studio-code

[wintry quarry]

The unity manual page that talks about debugging also talks about debugging builds

https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/managed-code-debugging.html

See "Debug in the Unity Player"

[rich adder]

oof they still have mac VS instructions

[wintry quarry]

Also - the build you are trying to debug needs to have been built in development mode with script debugging turned on

[uneven mantle]

that says "build and run", am I missing something here?

[formal hill]

Yeah, but the animator part might also cause the problem. I don't know

[wintry quarry]

That is not any different from running the .exe

Attach your code editor to the Unity Player

[torpid hamlet]

That was it, I literally just disabled the character whole and enabled it back

[wintry quarry]

Again - I'll point out that the build has to have been built with these options though:

Enable the Development Build
and Script Debugging options before you build the Player

[uneven mantle]

yes, that I checked

[rich adder]

idk what to tell you , do it or don't lol

[uneven mantle]

btw, @wintry quarry and @rich adder thank you for the help, regardless of how it goes ❤️

[mystic dawn]

Hey there people! i'm having some trouble with handling the rotation of sprites in my project and looking for any help with this issue!

basically my player character has a weaponParent child which acts as the rotation point and parent of all the weapons, the weapon parent rotates to face the mouse position and the weapon sprites that are it's children rotate alongside it correctly.

I implemented a nuclear throne style melee weapon and im now facing an issue where rotating the weapon parent between -180 to 0 makes the sprites stutter and flip to the opposite direction, i cannot find the reason why it does this so any pointers would be very helpful :((((

here is the script for the weaponParent, it handles everything related to rotating and flipping sprites but i can't seem to find where the problem is: https://www.codebin.cc/code/cm2kodisk0001k102id59oqe9:7Z53AbNGqA6AxvvnrLBSFpjo3vTTuXEYwGTEDbmm2nu9

[formal hill]

Well heres the code:

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

public class Logopopupthing : MonoBehaviour
{
    public Animator animator;
    public Collider2D zaCollider;
    public Collider2D mouseCollider;

    public void OnTriggerEnter2D(Collider2D collision)
    {
        if (collision.CompareTag("Mouse"))
        {
            animator.enabled = true;
            animator.SetBool("Entered", true);
            animator.SetBool("Left", false);
        }
    }

    public void OnTriggerExit2D(Collider2D collision)
    {
        if (collision.CompareTag("Mouse"))
        {
            animator.SetBool("Left", true);
            animator.SetBool("Entered", false);
        }
    }

    private void Start()
    {
        animator = GetComponent<Animator>();
        animator.enabled = false;
    }
}
``` I don't know if something is wrong with it, but if it has could someone help me? Thanks

[wintry quarry]

What's the point of this line:

transform.rotation = Quaternion.Euler(0f, 0f, transform.eulerAngles.z);```

[rich adder]

so anything I wrote before you just ignored?

[wintry quarry]

isn't that redundant?
Doesn't transform.right = direction; handle the rotation already?

[uneven mantle]

ok, I'm running the.exe and trying to use the "attach to unity" config here

but it doesn't find it

[wintry quarry]

you don't want to attach to unity

you want to attach to the running game process

[mystic dawn]

at first i thought the problem was that the x rotation of the weaponparent was causing the issue since when the weapon started flipping like crazy the rotation on the x was -180 so i was trying to force the weapon parent to keep the rotation of the x and y axis to 0 but it did not fix anything

[uneven mantle]

If instead I try this config here it finds the .exe but doesn't load the symbols

[mystic dawn]

also i would love to know how you can past lines of code in the channel like this? do yo have to use a command?

[wintry quarry]

One thing to note is the numbers you see in the inspector are basically meaningless. Because euler angles are not unique, they houldn't be depended on for game logic

[mystic dawn]

yeah well it's true since locking them to 0 did not fix anything so they were not the problem

[formal hill]

I'm pretty sure sprites are classified as world objects? But i'm using it as UI. I want an animation to play when the mouse goes over the sprite and it does... Sometimes, but then it also just stops working sometimes.

[uneven mantle]

sorry this is a bit confusing still... so I need to connect to the editor anyway?

[mystic dawn]

my problem is that it basically flips the sprite to the opposite direction whenever the rotation of the weapon parent z axis reaches -180 to 0

[uneven mantle]

not to the process of the build?

[rich adder]

dont you want the debugger?

[uneven mantle]

I need to see breakpoints and exceptions in the build though, not the editor. I have a packaged .exe that I need to run and debug

[rich adder]

sprites can be used in UI or SpriteRenderer but how they are handled are different, eg you probably should not be using physics if all you need is to know if mouse is over an interaction sprite, maybe raycast but idk if you want to be using Trigger

[wintry quarry]

Isn't your code pretty explicitly doing that?

        if (direction.x < 0)
        {
            handParent.transform.localScale = new Vector3(1f, -1f, 1f);
            axeSpr.flipX = true;
            
        }
        else if (direction.x > 0)
        {

            handParent.transform.localScale = Vector3.one;
            axeSpr.flipX = false;

        }```

[rich adder]

Oh sorry in the build. I misread it then. I need to lookup again the process its been a while thought you just needed devbuild mode

[formal hill]

I've never used anything else than trigger so I honestly have no idea how I'd use raycast, but It'd be nice to learn.

[rich adder]

you can also just use an event trigger but if they are collider you need to add a Physics 2D Raycaster on the camera

probably way easier than using rigidbodies and triggers

[uneven mantle]

no worries, I know my case is a bit off the usual path

[formal hill]

And then how do I use it to activate the animation?

[uneven mantle]

also, thanks for trying ❤️

[mystic dawn]

this is for flipping each weapon accordingly, what im trying to do is have the axe have a rotation similar to nuclear throne's melee weapons so im not messing with it's localscale for flipping it and only flipping the sprite, the hand weapon i flip it in the Y only and they work fine, the problem is they bug out when the rotation of the weapon parent ( the object holding both the handParent and axeParent) reaches -180 to 0, i don't know why it is doing it, my guess is that using direction.x to evaluate where the player is facing is what is messing it up

[rich adder]

just call a function. make it public so it can be exposed and used in the Event trigger component

[wintry quarry]

similar to nuclear throne's melee weapons
First off, never heard of it.
so im not messing with it's localscale for flipping it and only flipping the sprite
That's not what your code says

[mystic dawn]

but im not really sure as it works completly fine in any direction i point my mouse towards except for when it is at a -180 to 0 range in which the axe starts flipping in the Y axis, and the Hand flips on the X axis

[rich adder]

ohh right says here the same thing in the manual, just enable the Devmode and it should still read the VScode debugger. Im gonna try it rn to see if it captures the exe , I'm on mac but Im sure it will work the same

[mystic dawn]

well the code above is flipping the sprite for the axe and the transform for the hand

!code axeSpr.flipX = false;

[wintry quarry]

isn't that just "when facing left"?

you're worried a bit too much about the euler angles

[wintry quarry]

right and if the axe is a child of the hand, the axe will get double flipped

[mystic dawn]

i mean it's working but when the player is rotating the weapon will start going crazy and flipping back and forth when reaching -180 to 0 for some reason

[mystic dawn]

no the axe is not a child of the hand i set them up to be both children of the weapon parent only, basically the weapon parent rotates and follows the mouse position, the hand and axe parent are children of the weapon parent and their flipping behaviour is handled in the code i pasted from the weapon parent script

[wintry quarry]

there's nothing in this code that could make it "go crazy" afaict

you 100% sure there's no other code involved?

what about the code that aims the arm/weapon at the mouse?

[mystic dawn]

yeah that's why im having so much trouble with it :(((

nope apart from this no code messes with any of these objects, everything is handled in the weaponparent that relates to rotating the weapon parent there's aline of code that handles rotating it here:

direction = ((Vector2)GetMousePosition() - (Vector2)transform.position).normalized;
transform.right = direction;

[spare mountain]

try printing these every frame and see which part is flipping

[mystic dawn]

also when i examined each of the transforms on play mode, no variable seem to be changed when the flip occurs at -180 to 0, basically when i check if maybe something changed in the transform of each the hand and axe parents nothing seem to be changed and yet they are still flipped

Hey. I almost figured it out, but for some reason the "OnPointEnter" nor the "OnPointerExit" function will not show when I try to use them from the object with the script. Any idea why?

[rich adder]

show where ? try to use it where ?

I don't have eyes on your pc

[formal hill]

Yeah sorry. My explanation was not clear. So inside of the even trigger component on the Pointer Enter (BaseEventData) when I add the gameObject to it the function I need will not show inside of the script.

using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.EventSystems; 

public class Logopopupthing : MonoBehaviour, IPointerEnterHandler, IPointerExitHandler
{
    public Animator animator;

    public void OnPointerEnter(PointerEventData eventData)
    {
        animator.enabled = true;
        animator.SetTrigger("FileExplorerUp"); 
    }

    public void OnPointerExit(PointerEventData eventData)
    {
        animator.SetTrigger("FileExplorerDown");  
    }

    private void Start()
    {
        animator = GetComponent<Animator>(); 
        animator.enabled = false;
    }
}

[rich adder]

dont use OnPointer enter in the inspector

[formal hill]

What do you mean?

[rich adder]

you're mixing two of the same component together

pick one or the other

PointerEnter on event Trigger does the same exact thing that OnPointerEnter method from IPointerEnter interface does

pick one or the other, then you need colliders and a Physics2D physics raycaster on the camera

[formal hill]

I already have the Physics2D raycasyter on the camera, but how do I use the colliders with it?

[rich adder]

the event trigger / script with OnPointer enter goes on the object you want to call it from

the one with the collider

remove the component EventTrigger component if you're gonna use the script

[formal hill]

I decided to use the component

[rich adder]

the EventTrigger was just meant as a standalone component to communicate to another script (call function in another script elsewhere too)

[formal hill]

The object doesn't have a collider. I will add one

Okay it now works, but for some very weird reason it only works if the mouse goes to the object from a certain place. It needs to go from the down left corner for it to work.

[rich adder]

show the setup because I have no clue what that means

keep in mind this function works off the Event System so if you have UI elements it wil block the raycast

[formal hill]

using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.EventSystems; 

public class Logopopupthing : MonoBehaviour, IPointerEnterHandler, IPointerExitHandler
{
    public Animator animator;

    public void OnPointerEnter(PointerEventData eventData)
    {
        animator.enabled = true;
        animator.SetTrigger("FileExplorer"); 
        animator.SetBool("Entered", true);
        animator.SetBool("Left", false);
    }

    public void OnPointerExit(PointerEventData eventData)
    {
        animator.SetTrigger("FileExplorerDown");
        animator.SetBool("Left", true);
        animator.SetBool("Entered", false);
    }

    private void Start()
    {
        animator = GetComponent<Animator>(); 
        animator.enabled = false;
    }
}

[formal hill]

Here

[rich adder]

show the colliders, no need or video just select them and screenshot the colliders

[formal hill]

The components?

[rich adder]

the one for folder looks okay if its the green one, what about the blue one

[formal hill]

The blue one doesn't have a collider at the moment. I still haven't begun to work in it since I want to do this first to then move on to the next knowing that it works and how to do it

But the folder one only gets activated when the mouse enters it from the left down corner

[rich adder]

Your collider changes the size when you stop playing which i find suspicious now..

[formal hill]

What? Why does that happen?

[rich adder]

put logs in those methods and see how quickly they print, it could just be your animation being wacky

[formal hill]

I just checked it again and it doesn't anymore

It's the same size now and when I stop playing

[rich adder]

alr just do the log thing anyway and see whats going on

[formal hill]

Okay

[rich adder]

btw I hope you're not animating each button with its own animation and animator if they all animate the same hover effect . that would be painful lol I will show you a better method

[formal hill]

I was going to do that... Thanks!

The logs come in pretty much instantly. It gives 2 of them tho and it gives a warning "UpAnimPlayed
UnityEngine.Debug:Log (object)
Logopopupthing:OnPointerEnter (UnityEngine.EventSystems.PointerEventData) (at Assets/Scripts/Logo pop up thing.cs:12)
UnityEngine.EventSystems.EventSystem:Update () (at ./Library/PackageCache/com.unity.ugui@1.0.0/Runtime/EventSystem/EventSystem.cs:530)"

[rich adder]

dont worry about the warnings for now. So they do show up instant even if you hover from the other directions?

[formal hill]

No they only show if I go from the left down corner

[rich adder]

even the logs?
and are you resizing the entire object the script is on?

[formal hill]

Yes. The animation scales the entire object up.

[rich adder]

hmmm that could possibly be a problem..
the new event system has a hard time logging what your mouse is hovering..

you would need to write a piece of code

[formal hill]

What piece of code?

[rich adder]

try cs PointerEventData pointerData = new PointerEventData(EventSystem.current); void Update() { { pointerData.position = Input.mousePosition; List<RaycastResult> raycastResults = new List<RaycastResult>(); EventSystem.current.RaycastAll(pointerData, raycastResults); foreach (RaycastResult result in raycastResults) { Debug.Log("Hovering over: " + result.gameObject.name); } } }

[formal hill]

New script or add it to an old one?

[rich adder]

you can put it in the same script

[formal hill]

Ok

[rich adder]

let me double check if it works, just got it off forum post

okay yeah it should work if hover over a collider

[formal hill]

Even that script only debugs when the left down corner is the point that the mouse enters from

Even though the collider is ontop of the entire image

[rich adder]

move the icons in a different location and try again, try middle of screen

[formal hill]

Okay

Now it works from all around!

[rich adder]

hmm thats odd

is your camera in orthographic yes?

[formal hill]

Yes

Do I change it to perspective?

[rich adder]

no

[formal hill]

Could it be the CRT camera effect that I have on?

[rich adder]

its possible is messing with where the icon is vs cursor shows

turn it off and try the corner again

[formal hill]

The problem was the CRT

[rich adder]

ah well that will do it lol.

I wonder if it would do the same thing with a regular physics raycast, probably..

[formal hill]

I wonder if I can fix it. I really like the effect

[rich adder]

try it with a regular raycast

maybe event system doesnt like PP effects

[formal hill]

What do you mean "regular raycast"

[cosmic charm]

Quick question, when I try to handle movement when working on Machine State, should I write the script of moving in the Player script? or should I write it in the PlayerState script?

public void HandleMovement()
    {
        xInput = GetInput().x;
        MoveCharacter();
        ApplyLinearDrag();
    }

    // Input handling logic is within the Player class now
    protected Vector2 GetInput()
    {
        return new Vector2(Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal"), Input.GetAxisRaw("Vertical"));
    }

    // Movement logic, directly controlling the Rigidbody2D
    protected void MoveCharacter()
    {
        rb.AddForce(new Vector2(xInput, 0f) * movementAcceleration);

        if (Mathf.Abs(rb.velocity.x) > maxMoveSpeed)
        {
            rb.velocity = new Vector2(Mathf.Sign(rb.velocity.x) * maxMoveSpeed, rb.velocity.y);
        }
    }

    // Handles linear drag and deceleration
    protected void ApplyLinearDrag()
    {
        if (Mathf.Abs(xInput) < 0.4f || changingDirection)
        {
            rb.drag = linearDrag;
        }
        else
        {
            rb.drag = 0;
        }
    }

[formal hill]

Like not 2d?

[rich adder]

using the Physics2D method

[formal hill]

I already had the Physics2D raycast

[rich adder]

where?

[faint osprey]

im trying to test my multiplayer game out by running a build and the editor at the same time however when i tab out and switch to the other screen to play on the other player it makes the other one lag like crazy I have application.runinbackground to true so i dont get why cause my cpu and gpu and struggling

[rich adder]

I meant try like this

 void Update()
 {
     Ray ray = Camera.main.ScreenPointToRay(Input.mousePosition);
     RaycastHit2D hit = Physics2D.GetRayIntersection(ray, Mathf.Infinity);
     if (hit)
     {
         Debug.Log("Hit " + hit.collider.name);
     }
 }```

[formal hill]

I already did that. It has the left down corner problem again.

@remote kiln over here

[remote kiln]

https://paste.ofcode.org/ciSwgYpEnSTychxpsvS7eq

game manager

[rich adder]

alr then im not sure, if the shader is like that you have to find out if its possible for it not to do that

[remote kiln]

https://paste.ofcode.org/ejf3cxVxjRd8wnGQWrmTri

player movement

I have no previous experience with c# so excuse the trash code/indentation

[rich adder]

you should probably describe what the issue is..

[crisp token]

youre good, one think I want to ask is do you have any errors in your log because that will cause very poor performance. Like do you see any red

[remote kiln]

Oh mb, we were talking in chat about it forgot i need to explain again

basically when my game runs the player doesnt move at all and it runs on extremely low fps

sample scenbe keeps flickering with "unloaded"

[remote kiln]

nope

[rich adder]

first of all you never want to multiply Time.deltaTime inside AddForce

[remote kiln]

console is clear

[remote kiln]

oh

[rich adder]

rigidbodies methods like addforce should only be called inside FixedUpdate unless its an Impulse

everything else is fine

[crisp token]

I think you might be getting stuck in an infinite loop of unloading and loading scenes

[remote kiln]

where should i be using time.deltatime?

[remote kiln]

how so?

[rich adder]

you don't , Physics objects already moved at a fixed rate in Physics loop

[remote kiln]

oh

in the tutorial, the guy mentioned it wont be the same for different frame rates

that why we use time.deltatime

[crisp token]

can you add this line before you load a new scene: Debug.Log("New Scene Loaded");

[remote kiln]

alright

[rich adder]

the video is wrong

[remote kiln]

oh dang

[remote kiln]

ur right

it keeps printing

could i try figuring it out

as some type

of practice

[rich adder]

its a logic issue

[remote kiln]

aha

[rich adder]

where did you put that line of code?

[solar orchid]

Does anybody know if any PC can run unity?

Or is it certain ones

[remote kiln]

right above updating scenes

hm i got an idea

[rich adder]

where is that ? what is the exact method?

if EndGame is constantly being called then your rigidbody is always at < y -5 starting

[short hazel]

It's originally not compatible, but with the sticker on the front, it installs the required updates to make it work

[remote kiln]

nope

checked that

[solar orchid]

So does that mean I could make a game and play on unity on that PC???

[languid spire]

how could anybody know just by looking at the case?

[short hazel]

Yep, consider removing the safe on the left because that could cause interference

[solar orchid]

I don’t know, man i’m new to all this crap

[languid spire]

then learn something about computers

[remote kiln]

i mean since it keeps looping it has to be in the fixedupdate function

[solar orchid]

How would it cause interference?

[remote kiln]

well the calling method

[short hazel]

I'm joking. We cannot tell whether your thing can run Unity based on that picture alone

What matters are your specs, ie. what CPU, GPU, and RAM you have on that computer

[solar orchid]

Ok

[languid spire]

Not to mention SSD HDD PSU etc, etc, etc

[remote kiln]

I don't think I can figure this out

what could possibly be wrong

[rich adder]

well yeah did you check the y pos

[remote kiln]

yeah

[devout flume]

LMAO

[rich adder]

during playmode ?
also Debug.Log your OnCollision method

[polar acorn]

What are you expecting this picture to provide for anyone to answer

[remote kiln]

it prints both y pos call and collision function

wth

[solar orchid]

Idk in now got that thing a few days ago

[remote kiln]

gng.

i forgot to check for the colliders tag

man

[rich adder]

so oncollision kept running?

[remote kiln]

yes

[rich adder]

you should always debug the collider also when this happens and see what is hitting

but yeah had a feeling OnCollision like that, is too much of a gamble . Always need some type of filtering usually

[remote kiln]

collission was the entire issue

dang

collision

i cant believe i forgot to check for the tag
