do you have an Event System gameobject ?

#

Ohhh I see, sorry i thought that it is always created automatically and forget about it

frank flare
#

tbh that looks pretty hard

summer shard
#

what would be performance better, world space ui rotating towards player's camera or screen space ui setting it's position to object's position

timber comet
rich adder
#

pool them and you should be okay with either one

#

Overlay iirc is always slightly more performant than world

summer shard
rich adder
#

oh nvm this is just 1 UI i wouldn't worry, i was assuming you meant other types of UI like healthbars / texts around your world

summer shard
#

nah like interaction ui

#

sum like watch dogs have

rich adder
#

just make it how it looks best to you then, don't worry about performance those can be easily localized so its not that much impact

#

for example I only need 1 world canvas (player is holding interactable tablet to inspect items)
switching it to other data read from SO, but its the same canvas

LEARN UNITY - The Most BASIC TUTORIAL I'll Ever Make

EXPAND for Time Stamp Links -- This is the most basic Unity tutorial I will ever make. If you are brand new to Unity, or if you want to make sure youโ€™ve covered the basics, and if you want to learn how to write your first C# script - this is the video for you!

Over the course of 2 hours, I go through the User Interface, Game Objects, Transforms...

โ–ถ Play video
night valve
#

Most fun part is they recommend ai to generate a script that slowly rotates directional light

#

For experts. IG expert would waste more time chatting with ai than writing such script

steep rose
#

instead of talking to an ai just look on google and you will most likely find whatever you need

night valve
#

I believe it's there just as curiosity. On the learn site they should encourage doing everything by yourself

So I'm trying to make something similar to Human Fall Flat without active ragdolls cus it seems to be too hard. Right now I'm trying to make ragdolled player stand up (rotate) by forces. How can I do that?

My scripts:
PlayerMovement: https://hatebin.com/nbbmviywid
PlayerCam & MoveCamera: https://hatebin.com/kdermrhkac

float maxVelocity = 5f;
Rigidbody localRb;
void Start()
{
localRb = GetComponent<Rigidbody>();
}

void FixedUpdate()
{
    float x;
    float y;
    float z;
    x = localRb.position.x;
    y = localRb.position.y + 1f;
    z = localRb.position.z;
    float localY = -1 * (localRb.position.y - (localRb.position.y + 50f));
    Debug.Log($"Y to aim: {localY}");

    
    Debug.Log(localRb.velocity.y);
    if (localRb.velocity.y < maxVelocity)
    {
        Debug.Log(localRb.velocity.y);
        localRb.AddRelativeForce(0, localY, 0);
    }
}

how can i check if hitObject contains any script that extends or implements Interactable class

void HandleInteraction() {
    if (!canInteract) { interactable = null; return; }
    RaycastHit hit;
    
    if (!Physics.Raycast(cameraHolder.position, cameraHolder.forward * interactionDistance, out hit, interactionDistance)) { interactable = null; return; }

    GameObject hitObject = hit.collider.gameObject;
    Interactable hitInteractable;

    if (!hitObject.TryGetComponent<Interactable>(out hitInteractable)) { interactable = null; return; }

    interactable = hitInteractable;

    if (Input.GetKeyUp(interactable.getInteractionKey())) {
        interactable.Interact();
    }
}

using TryGetComponent like you're doing now

summer shard
#

fr? thanks also should i implements Interactable or extends Interactable

slender nymph
#

neither, it's inherits Interactable

summer shard
#

ohhh thank youu

slender nymph
#

unless you are asking how to do so, in which case look at the current code and see how you are inheriting MonoBehaviour

summer shard
#

okayy, thankss

eternal needle
summer shard
#

yeaa i realized that they're both kind of simmilar

#

also if class Interactable already inherits MonoBehaviour then i should only inherit Interactable in pickable class?

public class Interactable : MonoBehaviour {

}

public class Pickable : Interactable {

}
slender nymph
#

yes. you can only inherit one class. but when you inherit Interactable you are also inheriting MonoBehaviour because Interactable is a MonoBehaviour

summer shard
#

okay thank youu

frank flare
summer shard
#

dumb question, is there a way to hide all the variables from inherited class in the inspector but leave it shown in the inspector for the parent class

slender nymph
#

why would you be inheriting the class if you don't want access to those?

summer shard
eternal needle
slender nymph
summer shard
#

i want to make Pickable class to be able to pick things up but don't want to add Interactable script each time to the object and setting the event to pick up the object so i wanted to inherit the class to call picking up the object whenever the interaction is called

summer shard

slender nymph
#

you don't override variables.

summer shard
#

i just didn't add it yet

slender nymph
#

right and you can't add that at all because that's not a thing

summer shard
#

wdym??

slender nymph
#

i mean that you do not override variables like i already said. that is not a thing. you just assign a different object to it

summer shard
#

so basically i can't override the variables but i can override the methods?

slender nymph
#

correct. and that is only methods that you explicitly mark as virtual because this isn't java

summer shard
#

oh yea ik that, but what do i do with all these variables that i don't use anymore? they're just shown in the inspector, like i can change them but i'll still return something else

slender nymph
#

why would your class have variables that it does not use

summer shard

Hello, would anyone be able to help me figure this out. I have nodes that I am using for A* pathfinding, I want the NPC's in my game to increase the cost of nodes so they don't get pathed through but when I do that, it breaks their movement (due to the increased costs) is there a smart way to do this? I currently have all the NPC's on a layer and use layers to calculate node costs.

# frank flare ok so I shouldn't try the Human Fall Flat idea

๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ if you want to make a game similar to it that's up to you. Im not trying to stop you, it's also not a bad way of experimenting with rbs and joints. It's just really tough to setup and get working how you want. If every part of the object isnt a rb, they wont react in the same way as human fall flat. I've tried the same before, got the joints setup, hand movements, etc, but it was all just so clunky. The walking was horrible too
Then you realize human fall flat is boring alone and it only works cause of multiplayer

slender nymph

!code

eternal falconBOT
slender nymph
#

you're also missing the using directive. right click the error in your IDE and use the quick actions to add the correct using directive

#

if you do not see it in your !IDE then get it configured ๐Ÿ‘‡

eternal falconBOT
slender nymph
#

go through all of the steps to configure it

polar acorn
#

Is your error underlined in red

#

Then you need to configure your IDE

slender nymph
#

screenshot your entire IDE window with the solution explorer visible

#

close visual studio, regenerate the project files, then open it again

#

no, close it. then regenerate the project files. then open it again.

#

there is a button to do exactly that in one of the locations you had to do something in when configuring visual studio

#

did you follow the instructions i just gave you?

#

or even look at the instructions the bot linked?

#

great! then go through that and find that regenerate project files button and click it

polar acorn
#

Do you see a button in this screenshot that says "Regenerate project files"

what part of this code makes the waves go up and down slightly?

#

or is there nothing?

steep rose

Im guessing the part where it loops through every vertex and gets it Y value and changes it to some arbitrary value

#

so pretty much the code in Update(), what was the premise of this question?

when i set the scale to 1, it fixes the issue

#

what in this code would i have to multiply by 10

#

in the original code it was intended to just be 1x1

#

i have changed the size to 10x10

steep rose
#

have you tried using offset?

#

wait before we go on, what was the issue?

clever raven
#

Anyone have any tips how to recalculate pathfinding for dynamically changing node costs for example if the player moves in the way of the path calculated via A* how to tell the AI to calculate a new path

steep rose
#

you would just call your pathfinding function again and to the position you want on the grid/navmesh

#

A* should calculate new paths depending on if the node moves or not anyway

#

oh sorry I didn't read your message fully, A* should just calculate the path automatically if any of the node costs changes, I don't know if the built in navmesh system in unity does though, it probably does but I have not tested it

polar acorn
#

Well, start with reading the errors. What's the first error say?

it says im missing a directive or assembly reference, but i feel confused because i was following along with my professor in class 4916catcry

So, what is a throwScore?

You cannot apply indexing with [] to an expression of type IEnumerable.

ohh okay i see

polar acorn

Reading the error explains the error

midnight wave
#

im sorry i wish i had better answers for you guys. im not sure yet the types all i know is hes trying to teach us how to keep track of the points from throwing a bowling ball at pins

keen owl

what kind of thing

youre probably right

im so sorry im not trying to be stupid i just genuinely have no idea im so sorry

You can't just have no idea what it is, you're the one writing the code

Hi guys, long story short I am trying to practice car controllers and mechanics and for some reason, Unity is recognizing forward Input as -1 and backwards input as 1. This is essentially messing up my game because when trying to add audio when reversing / accelerating it is flipping the sounds because it thinks I am reversing when driving forwards. This is not about what keys are being used its about how it effects the scripts and how the game recognizes inputs. I have tried fixing this for a couple hours and even used chat-gpt but nothing can flip these values. Hopefully you guys can help. Btw, sorry if this is a stupid question, I am new to development. Thanks!

Screenshot_2024-10-25_024557.jpg Screenshot_2024-10-25_024613.jpg
#

To be more clear, I want it so when I drive forward. I want the gas input to = 1 and when reversing I want the gas input to = -1

rocky canyon
#

Input.GetAxisRaw("Vertical");

#

hows ur audio code look?

#

even used chat-gpt but nothing can flip these values
this is not saying much ๐Ÿคฃ ... chat-gpt is regurgitated junk most often

pearl lintel
#

Thanks for the reply. Quick question, could it be the asset I am using that causes the problem?

#

Its as if the game thinks the back of the car is the front and vice versa

#

when I try -Input.GetAxis("Vertical"); it just flips the forward and backwards keys. I need it to actually flip the number

clever raven
#

or smarter logic when it comes to setting up nodes / costs

#

Or maybe I just don't make the NPC's increase path cost and instead add some sort of steering or replusion or something to get them to not run into each other

#

If anyone has any advice on how to make A* pathfinding that also avoids collusions with changing node costs would love to hear it

#

The collider on my NPC's is a polygon 2d one so it makes 8/9 of the nodes that the npc takes up as npc 50 cost nodes and the one in the top left corner a 2 cost node so they always go to the top left as well :/

rocky canyon
pearl lintel
#

void CheckInput() { gasInput = Input.GetAxis("Vertical"); steeringInput = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal"); slipAngle = Vector3.Angle(transform.forward, playerRB.velocity - transform.forward); float movingDirection = Vector3.Dot(transform.forward, playerRB.velocity); if (movingDirection < -0.5f && gasInput > 0) { brakeInput = Mathf.Abs(gasInput); } else if (movingDirection > 0.5f && gasInput < 0) { brakeInput = Mathf.Abs(gasInput); } else { brakeInput = 0; }

#

This is my movement script

rocky canyon
#

and the audio is where? what variable do u want to output for each case?

pearl lintel
#

Its a bit hard to describe because im just learning game dev

#

But essentially, because the game engine thinks acceleration is actually reversing. The audio script thinks when I am physically driving forwards with the car model, it is actually reversing. And when I reverse, the game engine thinks I am driving forwards thus playing the acceleration audio.

#

And the issue is, I have no idea why vertical "Up" input is being registered as -1 input when typically it should be 1 input

umbral prairie
#

in tilemap how do i make for example a water tile make it so the player cannot walk through it like a wall barricade

#

do i use tilemap collider 2D?

rocky canyon
pearl lintel
#

Could it be the model I am using perhaps?

#

Maybe the front of the car is actually the back?

#

I just downloaded the asset to practice with

#

Its really strange lol

#

I'm just gonna try reverse engineer the code to the best of my ability, thank you so much for the help though ๐Ÿ˜„

rich adder
#

also not a code question

arctic ibex
#

this is less of a how to code question and more of a "what the better way to do this" I have a scene with a list of levels, and i have two ways of assigning the level to each. I can 1. Manually assign it, currently theres only 7 so it will be easy, but i want like, 40+ in the future so it will be annoying to reassign things.
2. Give all of the texts with the levels the same tag, and use FindObjectsWithTag to get an array of all of them and make each one pick its order in the array. Each text object already has its own script on it to calculate what i need to say

eternal needle
# arctic ibex this is less of a how to code question and more of a "what the better way to do ...

2nd option doesnt even really sound like it'll work nicely, im not sure the order of that function is even known. you'll still be going through the trouble of creating text objects for each level. at that point you might as well just assign the scene at the same time
imo a better way, have an array of the scene names. then create the text at runtime for each string in the array, and assign whatever is needed at the same time
assigning the scene names can also be done very easily with SceneAsset and taking the name in OnValidate

umbral prairie
arctic ibex
eternal needle
#

what i described is honestly pretty easy, the hardest part is setting up the UI so that the generated text objects are where u want it to be

hey quick questoin, when you instantiate a prefab can you choose the parent?

lapis yew

so, i wanna think im just making some sort of silly mistake here that i can fix, but it really looks like unity is just objectively wrong with its math here?

woeful schooner
#

what exactly is the issue though
should it not be logging a float, since im explicitly casting it as one?

lapis yew
astral falcon
#

the float still is just set with the calculation done with two integers. as jammingend said, cast one to float

lapis yew
#

*** = (float)currentammo / max ammo

woeful schooner
#

ah yep that fixed it
thank you so much <3

#

๐Ÿ˜‚

#

lmao awesome

astral falcon
#

But it should be an integer, anyways, right? ๐Ÿ˜„

#

or are you able to shoot partial bullets ๐Ÿ˜„

#

Just jkin, I guess its for some visual ammo representation or similar?

woeful schooner
#

oh nono im using this to scale a little indicator meter for ammo on the gun
its just a simple project for uni so im modelling everything in engine with prefabs, so i have it like this

I have an image and I am breaking it into smaller cells.
Cach cell is stored in a Dictionary <Vector2Int>, <Texture2D>, then I iterate through the dictionary to recreate the grid.

Each cell has a prefab with a button, and the cell has a TerrainType class that has a variable to store the image.
So while iterating through the dictionary I pass the texture to the button but when I go to check the variable in the Cell.terrainType.splatMap class the texture doesn't match!

Debug says:
Generated and stored textures for cell 0,0. Splat texture name: splat_0_0

then:
Creating cell 0,0 with splat texture: splat_0_0 (and it's true because the texture in button is correct!
but the Cell.TerrainType.splatmap has 47.21 (which is the last cell)

Why?
Can somebody tell me what is going on?? ๐Ÿคฏ

#

The code is fine... I guess, because the in the cell I take the TerrainType.splatMap and I assign it to the background of the cell and the texture is correct:

{
    public TerrainType terrainType;
    public Vector2Int pixelReference;
    [SerializeField] private Image buttonImage;
    [SerializeField] private RawImage backgroundImage;

    public void SetTerrainType(TerrainType terrain)
    {
        terrainType = terrain;

        if (terrainType.splatTexture != null)
        {
           
            backgroundImage.texture = terrainType.splatTexture;

        }
    }
}```
#

I guess that could be a Unity's memory issue.

astral falcon
#

What is TerrainType?

queen wren
# astral falcon What is TerrainType?

A subClass

 public class TerrainType

#

And how do you generate your buttons? That code is probably the one failing, because you seem to overwrite something in the loop

#

especially your terrainType = terrain is generating a reference to terrain instead of a copy, so you might change the terrain object later on and your terrainType gets updated with each iteration in your loop

queen wren
# astral falcon And how do you generate your buttons? That code is probably the one failing, bec...

#

Did you debug log your terraintype when assigning in your cell to see, what numbers you get there?

#

And also logging this mapGenerator.GetTerrainTypeFromTexture(splatTexture) might be important, as maybe this one gets you the wrong type or something. You really gotta log more into your separated classes to actually get the correct updates that are being set

queen wren
#

Ok, I'll do a couple of tests.

queen wren
#

See.. the code is correct (tha's the debug):
WorldGrid: Creating cell 0,0 with splat texture: splat_0_0
WorldGrid: Assigning Splat Texture to TerrainType splat_0_0
Cell: cell_0_0, TerrainType assigned with splat texture splat_0_0

but the terrainType in the cell_0_0 still have the splat_41_21 which is the last cell. and not only the cell 0_0 but all the cell from 0_0 to 0_41 and forward until the texture didn't change the color because it's an island.

# swift elbow how am i assigning it if its in an if statement?

A single equals operator is an assignment operation, and will evaluate to whatever value was finally assigned to the variable. If the value assigned was not an integer 0, then the result will be "true" for any conditional statement, so the result is not "always true." The compiler should give you a warning if I recall correctly

Texture2D splatTexture = new Texture2D((int)cellSize, (int)cellSize);
splatTexture = splatTextures[cellCoord];
Texture2D heightTexture = new Texture2D((int)cellSize, (int)cellSize); 
heightTexture = heightTextures[cellCoord];```

What's better to use or what you prefer and why
Example:
Here we define all through Header and drag and drop our class' RigidBodyComponent through Inspector

[Header("Refs")]
public Rigidbody rb;

void FixedUpdate()
{
  some code with rb
}

or this all within code


private RigidBody rb;

void Start()
{
  rb = GetComponent<RigidBody>();
}

void FixedUpdate()
{
  some code with rb
}
#

And who knows should I start with learning netcode first or that's too complicated for beginners?

@astral falcon I've fixed the issue! ๐Ÿ™‚
but I'm not sure how ๐Ÿ˜‚

Texture2D heightTexture = heightTextures[cellCoord];

GameObject newCell = Instantiate(cellPrefab, grid.transform);
newCell.name = $"cell_{x}_{y}";

Cell cellComponent = newCell.GetComponent<Cell>();
cellComponent.pixelReference = cellCoord;
TerrainType terrainType = cellComponent.terrainType;
TerrainType mapTerrain = mapGenerator.GetTerrainTypeFromTexture(splatTexture);
terrainType.layer = mapTerrain.layer;
terrainType.height = heightTexture.height;
terrainType.splatTexture = splatTexture;
terrainType.heightTexture = heightTexture;```

in short looks like that the method mapGenerator.GetTerrainTypeFromTexture(splatTexture);
which returns an object of type TerrainType whic was the class that I show early was doing some mess with memories. so I've made a new instance of TerrainType `TerrainType mapTerrain = mapGenerator.GetTerrainTypeFromTexture(splatTexture);
`
on every loop cycle, and then took the terrainType from the cell and assigned each value one by one. Quite a mess, but now it's working fine.
#

What we learned:

  • Direct references can avoid conflicts: Especially when working with Unity objects like textures or ScriptableObjects, it is important to understand how references are handled in memory.

  • Debugging with Unity requires patience and continuous testing: Sometimes Unity issues involve internal resource management and reference assignment, so step-by-step debugging is often the best way to solve them.

Still cant get my list to be correctly sorted... i never worked with sorting, so i dont know what to do...

I grab sprites from a folder with Ressources.LoadAll. They are all named "Level 1" up to 11. But they are somehow saved in this binary format, like shown in the pic.

i tried "previewSpriteList.Sort((a, b) => a.name.CompareTo(b.name));" on the sprite liste and more nothing does a thing

keen dew
#

That's how alphabetical sorting works. If the names are always "Level X" then you can do previewSpriteList.Sort((a, b) => int.Parse(a.name.Substring(6)) - int.Parse(b.name.Substring(6)));

Whats the convetion order of variables in a c# class? (e.g static variables always on top)

teal viper

#

Your sorting is correct, this is how sorting works

#

I already told you to just make a loop from 1 to 11, and to then load the images based on the index that it's on

#

Also, please share your !code already so that I can just write it for you

hey yall, quick question -

so i'm trying to do this super simple thing where player presses a button, and a particle effect that i've attached to the player plays

however there's this weird issue where the particle effect just stops existing when i run the game, i get an error that there's no particle effect attached, even though in the screenshot i have it attached

image.png
eager spindle
#

There is no particle system attached to the player

#

Did you instantiate the gameobject with the particle system?

#

What does your code look like?

keen cargo
#

they're set up like this

Also, as it's serialized just don't try to assign it in code

#

if I have a UnityAction test, can I clear all event handlers of that action in such a way that will allow me to add new listeners?

slender nymph
#

UnityAction is just a delegate, just assign it to null to clear its listeners. if you mean a UnityEvent, then it's basically the same thing but you just invoke its constructor

#

or UnityEvent has the RemoveAllListeners method which removes all non-persistent listeners (persistent listeners are the ones added via the inspector)

Are there any good methods of sorting a 1 Dimensional list of objects, each having "x" and "z", (x increasing left to right) & (z increasing from bottom to top) ??

example of what the array could look like: [{-1, 0}, {0, 1}, {1, -1}, {0, 0}, {-1, -1}, {1, 1}, {0, -1}, {1, 0}, {-1, 1} ]

and the sorted array would look like this:

[{-1, 1}, {0, 1 }, {1, 1}, {-1, 0}, {0, 0}, {1, 0}, {-1,-1}, {0,-1 },{1, -1}]

so when placed into a tile pattern it would resemble the numbers in a regular coordinate system.

:
[{-1, 1}, {0, 1}, {1, 1},
{-1, 0}, {0, 0}, {1, 0},
{-1,-1}, {0,-1}, {1,-1}]

There must be some fancy math to sort this... or mabye not... idk plz help :))

hope its understandable :)

image.png
languid spire
#

by the looks of that it's just a simple case of adding 1 to each number

rotund garnet
#

forgot to mention, that the numbers can be higher or lower, but always within 3 of eachother

#

what i have displayed here is just the very center point

languid spire
#

so you want to find the lowest number and make it zero. then use the same difference on all the numbers

#

so -3 becomes 0 and all other numbers are adjusted by 3

rotund garnet
#

yes exactly

languid spire
#

then it's a very simple algorithm

rotund garnet
#

2 for-loops? each sorting their own rows and columns??

languid spire
#

no, one for loop to find the difference number required, one for loop to put the entries into the array

Hey mates, wondering what's your approach to version control, I'd like to work from multiple computers, I'm not sure if github for instance is suitable for projects including multiple asset packs. It would work for the scripts but I guess the other files are too big, but also need to be synced across machines

steep rose
#

you can use github version control and pay for it or use git LFS which is recommended for large files

#

you can also host git yourself if needed, but you need that machine to be on to use it

rotund garnet
#

then on other pc i just press fetch origin, and get the changes down locally

#

i am working alone on it, so i dont need to think too much about merge conflicts or anything

dire shadow
rocky canyon
#

its just for LFS

#

github is free for the most part

steep rose
#

unless you want more than 100mb of commit which I believe you have to pay for

#

but if you are solely storing scripts, you will be fine doing it for free

dire shadow
#

Oh, maybe then I need to split my first commit in several ones?

rich adder
#

LFS has free tier but limited

rocky canyon
#

100 mb / file i think it is

steep rose
#

any git hoster will make you pay for the 100mb limit anyway and for git LFS as well since its integrated for git

#

but yes splitting commits is a good option

languid spire
#

why would you be syncing asset packs across multiple machines anyway when each machine can just download them

marble ocean
#

Hi there

#

thanks very much

polar acorn
#

when what is clicked

rich adder
#

did you see the event on it ? OnClick

polar acorn
#

Okay, so this is calling the function OnShopClick with the string parameter "village"

#

you "think"? Why not check

#

You can see what that function does when you pass it the value "village"

#

How about you tell me what this function does when you pass "village"

#

You already are

#

that's not the question here

#

the function is called with the string value "village"

#

So, what does this function do, when passed the value "village"

#

Okay, so, what actually takes the resources

#

and what calls RemoveResources

rich adder
#

this is already an overcomplicated system you put yourself in lol

#

yeah but now you need to connect the two

#

this doesn't care if you have resources or not it will just spawn whatever (in this case "village")

#

onshop click needs to run some validation logic that you do in the button

#

ButtonClick -> DoIhaveEnoughResources For this -> Subtract amount / Instantiate
i guess not making non-interactable can work to skip some if statements but you still need to Remove the proper resource according to the resource you bought

polar acorn
#

Well, first think about it in terms of words. What do you want to happen when the button is pressed?

rocky canyon
#

more beginners need to do this ^ tbh

#

super helpful at first

rich adder
#

use pen and paper it helps a lot tbh

polar acorn
#

Okay, so the button just removes resources?

#

Click button lose resources?

#

So, it sounds like you want it to do more than just subtract resources

#

Explain the entire purpose of the button

#

What happens when you click on it. The entire process

#

Okay, so, the button is only enabled if you have enough resources, so that's not related to clicking.

When you click on it, you want to remove some amount of resources, then instantiate a prefab.

#

So, put the "Spawn a prefab" thing in this function, and have your button call this function

#

This script already has you setting all the resource costs for a specific thing, just give it a field to drag in the prefab

#

This entire script is redundant. Just have the script that defines the resource costs also spawn the objects

polar acorn
#

Then there's probably something you didn't share

#

So then you were calling RemoveResources somewhere and never showed it

 handLeft.position = LeftHandGrip.position;
 handLeft.rotation = LeftHandGrip.rotation;

}

if (RightHandGrip != null)
{
float smoothTime = 5.0f;
animator.SetIKPositionWeight(AvatarIKGoal.RightHand, 1);
handRight.position = RightHandGrip.position;

 handRight.rotation = RightHandGrip.rotation;

}

#

its suposed that Right hand grip or left hand grip is a object inside the weapon that parent to the player when he get it

#

for example

#

void get weapon(newWeapon){RightHandgrip = newWeapon.right hand grip]//this is an example i now that the code dosent have sense

the right hand grip is the target of a Two ik bone constraint

Did you try reading the bot

molten pulsar
#

sorry im noob at english

molten pulsar
#

i try my best

polar acorn
#

Yes, like that. So, it seems like either LeftHandGrip or RightHandGrip is rotating. You're setting handLeft and handRight's rotation directly to that object's. What objects are those

molten pulsar
#

this is a example of what object are those

image.png
#

It is added depending on which weapon you choose.

#

this a example inside a musket

image.png
polar acorn
#

So, does RightHandGrip, Cube.001, or M16 rotate?

molten pulsar
#

yes

#

only in reload animation

polar acorn
#

So, the hand is going to copy the current world rotation of that object, every frame

molten pulsar
#

and that cube is the magazine

molten pulsar
polar acorn
#

So if the HandGrip object, or any of its parents are rotated, it's going to change the rotation of the hand

#

And, actually, since it's IK, changing the position of the hand might also be changing the rotation of the arm. I can't quite tell through the gizmos if the hand itself is rotating in your clip

#

is it facing the right direction and just moving? Or is it actually rotating along with the arm?

molten pulsar
polar acorn
#

So, it's probably the position that's the problem and not the rotation

molten pulsar
#

the arm didnt seem to respect that and only keeps moving ignoring the position and rotation of the weapon grip

hi! i was wondering if there's a way to add scripts/components to tiles in unity's tilemap system for the use case of (for ex) placing enemies down as tiles, creating triggers (in tile format) etc ~ I'd love to be able to slap a camera trigger down similarly to the way it works in lonn for celeste

molten pulsar
#

position of the weapon grip isnt the problem

noble lark
# night lance hi! i was wondering if there's a way to add scripts/components to tiles in unity...

I dont know anything about tilemap as i havent worked with it but from some quick searching it seems like tiles are a intermediary asset? From my understanding it means that its closer to a texture or other types of assets that mostly act as art or properties for gameobjects to use (somebody correct me on this as im new to unity too). If you want to make your own script for a tile, you would have to override functionality from the TileBase class (from what ive understood). Maybe this helps: https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.0/Documentation/Manual/tilemaps/tiles-for-tilemaps/scriptable-tiles/create-scriptable-tile.html.

#

^ hopefully somebody with real experience on tilemap can help out with this. This is just what i found from some digging.

also, you should consider using TryGetComponent even if you're using layer filtering

ruby python
timber tide
#

Well, you're looking for the gameobject from the hit to apply the target reticle over, so if that's what you're getting there it should be the target of that

ruby python
#

This is what's confusing me. I'm grabbing the 'target object' and the 'interactable' script fine (the cursor sprite changes as it should, the cursor sprite is assigned on the interactable script), so I'm not understanding why the rectTransform of the indicator isn't changing its position based on the currently 'rolledover' asteroid.

timber tide
#

So WorldToScreenPoint is returning the same value for any interactable I'm guessing?

ruby python
#

Like I said, it was working fine before I moved this functionality from the playerController to my MouseController script. I've obviously changed something that's broken it, but I can't see in the code where. lol.

ruby python
#

The Interaction script works perfectly btw. It's the rectTransform positioning that isn't working. It just stays with the ship. ๐Ÿ˜•

timber tide
#

Right, so are the values from worldtoscreen changing depending on where the cursor is right

#

in that case it points to those rectransform.positon then

ruby python
#

Oh for gods sake. lol.

Sorry, I just figured it out and I am a collosal Penis. I'd assigned the wrong thing in the Inspector (The parent container and not the actual image object.

#

Parent doesn't have a rectTransform.

timber tide
#

ah ok I was going to suggest making a primary rect transform with local over world coordinates

#

I dont remember worldtoscreen being a vector3 either but it does use the z for the depth

ruby python
#

Yeah I did look at the docs and it's Vector3, confused me if honest. But I guess it makes kind of sense if it's looking for a vector3 to convert?

#

Thanks for taking a look anyhow, sorry it was me being an idiot. lol.

timber tide
#

if you have problems with that later, may be worth zeroing out the z

#

if you're not doing transparency on the UI by the transparency queue

ruby python
timber tide
#

usually you can sort by z-depth with transparents, but canvas and 2D modules have ways to force what is rendered over each other

ruby python
#

Aaah, yeah I get ya. Yeah tbh, I'm kinda doing all that manually with the hierarchy placement etc.

timber tide
#

so technically it first sorts by queue, then if everything is at the same queue then it sorts by depth

I got this little piece of code which replicates the forward and backward movement of w and s on mouse scroll up and down - works wonderfully for its purpose, but recently it was pointed out to me that some users expected scrolling in the camera to behave differently; namely for it to instead zoom in on the area of the screen the mouse cursor was in specifically

image.png
#

think the way google maps works yknow?

#

and Im kinda having a hard time coming up with what the would even look like mathematically

#

any pointers would be much appreciated

keen dew
#

The basic idea is that you save the world position where the mouse cursor points, zoom, check what position is now under the cursor, and calculate the difference between the old position and the new position. Then you move the camera by that amount to the opposite direction which puts the old location back to under the cursor.

severe onyx
#

Would I check the world position of the cursor against a plane through origin in case I have no natural ground or walls to hit? I'd have to ray cast, right?

keen dew
#

Yes, you need a plane

It usually happens when you try to add a Vector2 and a Vector3, and C# can't guess which + to use, because both V2 and V3 have an addition operator

#

But I want to confirm this is the actual issue

ruby python

You're only creating the Vector3 with only 2 parameters, you need to use all 3 (x, y and z)

If you're using 2D, use Vector2 instead.

short hazel
#

Nope

queen adder
short hazel
#

You have two using directives, both have a Vector3 in them

#

The System.Numerics one isn't compatible with Unity, remove it

I am currently trying to fix my blackjack game, I have completed the code but it does not work for some reason. I do not know if it's something wrong in my GameManager https://hastebin.skyra.pw/yicoyeqinu.pgsql but every time I hit "deal" it works fine.

I have trouble working with the new input system
I would like to make crosshair appear smoothly when the right mouse button is clicked/"GetKeyDown"

Hello,
I have this script right here, where a particle system should face the opposite direction of a Rigidbody (car) entering a water object.
Could anybody explain why the particle system instantiated in the script (see below) does not face that direction?


public class WaterEffects : MonoBehaviour
{
    [SerializeField] GameObject splashVFX;

    [SerializeField] string carTag = "Car";

    private void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other)
    {
        if (other.gameObject.CompareTag(carTag))
        {
            Quaternion rotation = Quaternion.Euler(-other.transform.forward);
            Instantiate(splashVFX, other.transform.position, rotation);
        }
    }
}
slender nymph
#

transform.forward is not expressed in euler angles. it is a direction and is normalized

short hazel
#

Use .LookRotation(-other.transform.forward) to construct a quaternion from a direction

night raptor
#

Btw, you can set Transform.forward directly too

#

So whatEverTrans.forward = -other.transform.forward should work too

# languid spire started for keydown, cancelled for keyup

I've tried but only performed seems to trigger anything
when in OnEnable method I write aim.context.performed it runs ToggleAim exactly once upon keydown and exactly once upon keyup
once I swap performed for either started or canceled I do not run ToggleAim method

I think I have been rash to jump straight into input system without any preparation
But on the other side I've been reading the documentation for it and yet I don't understand it well
Do you guys have any youtube video explaining such actions in the new input system? I'll really appreciate it!

short hazel
#

You need to use performed and canceled if I remember correctly

slender nymph
#

correct, which is also what steve suggested to them

#

although they are only subscribing to started here

languid spire
#

performed is GetKey though, multiple calls

short hazel
#

Started is for some cases where the action is long, like a button with the Hold modifier: pressing the button invokes started, when held for the required amount of time invokes performed, when released invokes canceled

#

If you have no modifiers, it should be performed (key down) and canceled (key up)

frozen phoenix
#

I've tried to use both in the onenable and created separate methods to be run by started and canceled
but I have not received any log in console when I've done it this way:

image.png
short hazel
#

Also log stuff inside OnEnable directly. The script needs to be on an active and enabled object for this to run

languid spire
#

is the action even enabled?

frozen phoenix
#

well the performed runs twice, once on keydown once on keyup
canceled and started are ignored
is this even the correct way/place to call them?

image.png
frozen phoenix
# languid spire is the action even enabled?

Frankly speaking I don't have knowledge to be certain about it, sorry
But I believe I have the action enabled through action map
At least the documentation says it should be alright this way

image.png
short hazel
#

Are you using a mouse or a gamepad to test this out? The action supports both

frozen phoenix
#

of course

#

mouse and gamepad is always connected

#

and im trying both

slender nymph
# frozen phoenix Frankly speaking I don't have knowledge to be certain about it, sorry But I beli...

https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.inputsystem@1.11/api/UnityEngine.InputSystem.InputActionType.html#UnityEngine_InputSystem_InputActionType_PassThrough

The second key difference is that only Performed is used and will get triggered on every value change regardless of what the value is. This is different from Value where the action will trigger Started when moving away from its default value and will trigger Canceled when going back to the default value.

short hazel
#

"A or B?" - "Yes"

frozen phoenix
#

yeah, it took me a second to understand it the way you intended
at first I interpreted it as "are you even using any of these?" :x

frozen phoenix
slender nymph
#

idk what you are referring to when you say "that works" as i did not give a suggestion, i was simply showing why you were not getting started or canceled invoked

short hazel
#

I wonder why it's in passtrhough by default though, seems like it comes from the standard assets one

#

Especially when you can configure the press point (ie. how far you need to press the trigger down on gamepads) to trigger the action

frozen phoenix
wintry quarry

Does anyone happen to know why this error keeps showing up? I recently updated my game to a newer version of unity so that is most likely the issue, but I'm not really sure where to even start for this error besides the error taking me to the GridEditorUtility script. Additionally the error pops up when I make changes to random scripts. For example, I change my enter room controller script and after saving this error pops up. I can still play my game and it doesn't seem to be affecting anything in my game, but I'd like to get rid of it xD

yes

and what i was expecting to happen is that the a of one.color would slowly get lower after t was more then 1, until it fades out completely and it gets deleted along with the canvas the Image is in but for some reason it doesn't fade out but instead starts blinking and the more i I spawn of it the more it happens but it allso happens when there is only one

#

the blinking is not on/off/on/off but more like a wave

you should look into using Color.Lerp instead of manually subtracting like that. Print your values and you might see what is going wrong. for example, place this log after the i -= line: Debug.Log($"T2: {t2}, T2 as byte: {System.Convert.ToByte(t2)} i: {i}", this);

Im going to paste what i wrote on the general chat here for context if thats okay. I have a character which automatically moves to the right, and if it collides with a wall it changes direction to the left. When they jump they can slide on the walls to make like a, slide + jump and reach to other places. I have a problem tho which is, if the player is sliding and they dont jump, once they hit the ground they wont change directions, they can still jump but you will get stuck to that wall. forever. The player has a Physics 2D material with no friction and no bounciness.
Am i missing something? The walls and the floor have a box collider 2D, and the player does as well.

How do I stop the transform of a gameobject from changing when it becomes a child of another gameobject?

# 
 if (WeaponUsed == true)
 {
     if (VariablesSaved == false)
     {
         _attackDelay = AttackDelay;
         _whenColliderOn = WhenColliderOn;
         VariablesSaved = true;
     }
     AttackDelay -= Time.deltaTime;
     WhenColliderOn -= Time.deltaTime;
     WeaponCollider.SetActive(ColliderActive);
 }
 if (AttackDelay <= 0)
 {
     WeaponUsed = false;
     VariablesSaved = false;
     AttackDelay = _attackDelay;
 }
 if (WhenColliderOn <= 0 && ColliderActive == false)
 {
     ColliderActive = true;
     WhenColliderOn = _whenColliderOn;
     Debug.Log("Turn On Attack Collider");
 }
 if (ColliderActive == true)
 {
     HowLongColliderActive -= Time.deltaTime;
 }
 if (HowLongColliderActive <= 0 && ColliderActive == true)
 {
     ColliderActive = false;
     HowLongColliderActive = 0.2f;
     Debug.Log("Turn Off Attack Collider");
 }``` why does the debug.log code run twice?
#

it turns the attack collider on then it turns it off then on and off again

turning my fps down to 1 causes it to run 3 times -_-

i just changed the time.deltatime to time.fixeddeltatime

So, since you're not keeping the player's position, it's probably moving somewhere else when you make it a child of this

upper forge
wintry quarry
#

You should probably follow the rule of thumb of not scaling any object that has children

#

Then you won't run into this issue

upper forge
#

So i just changed the sprite object instead of the gameobject as a whole and it fixed the issue

Is there a way to blit part of a texture onto a part of another texture?

#

There seems to be no BlitRect method in Graphics and there doesn't seem to be a Bitmap or Image api

I am trying to draw all my textures onto an atlas

Is anyone here familiar on how to set up kinematic collisions

is there a function to do something when an game object is out of the camera

yes

This is for frustum culling however. If you want to take occlusion culling into consideration you need to use the culling group API

is there a way to use the if function without using the {} and it wraps the entire script in the void

ah nvm i figured it out

help why wont my canvas move ive been trying to add text but it always appears at the top right'

#

can anyone help tell me why my text is so low quality

queen adder

ok i solved all of those

#

but why isnt my button working

#

if i click on it it doesnt do anything

i dont understand what can i do to fix this ??

In this case, likely editor specific code

#

A stackoverflow is often caused by bad recursion

someone help me on my button ui it wont work

So idk, perhaps find related code if this keeps happening

What stops working? The jumping?

#

I suggest you debug playerCollider.IsTouchingLayers(groundLayer) first. This likely always returns false

#

I haven't used IsTouchingLayers myself, but does the ground actually have the correct layer assigned?

#

Also, I assume the player has to be partially inside the ground for this to work

#

I would guess that the collider is never in the ground since you'll have two colliders preventing that

#

What you can do is create a new collider that does go beneath the player, and check that instead

i have NO clue how to implement a jumping mechanic with the animations, in my 2D platformer. Does anyone mind getting in call and helping me out?

If I write something like this, does the second line run before or after awake/start for the newly instantiated object?

newObj.variable = variable;```
wintry quarry
#

As will OnEnable

#

Start will run after all of this

#

possibly next frame

languid spire
#

something which, tbh, you could easily have verified for yourself

visual junco
#

is it a better idea to
1: Start with a hard programming language then learn the easier ones after
2: Start with an easy one then progressively move onto harder ones

wintry quarry
#

start with C

languid spire
#

All programming languages are the same

teal viper
#

I can't imagine a goal that would require you to learn many different languages in succession

visual junco
#

nobody would believe my final goal

#

but i think i'd need more than 1 programming language

languid spire
#

try us

visual junco
#

tech company, aerospace company and possibly others

#

but i wanna learn unity bc i'm also passionate for the videogame industry

teal viper
#

That's sounds like many different goals.
Maybe start learning languages these companies actually expect you to know then.
As for unity you only need C#.

languid spire
visual junco
#

i dont wanna work for companies, i only would want to start them

#

idk why but i dont like working for others

languid spire
#

what you want to be an Elon clone?

visual junco
languid spire
#

then, as Praetor said, C is definitely the place to start followed by C#, C++ and Rust

visual junco
#

Ok thanks for the advice

teal viper
#

Because I've never heared of a one-man aerospace company.

Regarding the new input system, has the proprieties of PlayerInput been removed? I'm trying to access the property .action and .SwitchCurrentActionMap() but I can't find them. Every tutorial I see about switching action maps relies on them but I can't seen to get it to show up. What am I doing wrong?

rich adder
#

did you reference the correct PlayerInput class

languid spire
frozen burrow
rich adder
#

completely different thing

#

the generated c# class is just an easy access to the Actions of that PlayerInput

severe onyx
# severe onyx I got this little piece of code which replicates the forward and backward moveme...

I have been working on implementing a solution for this targeted zoom in; here's what I have now:

                {
                    Ray ray = Camera.main.ScreenPointToRay(Input.mousePosition);
                    float distance1;
                    Vector3 point1 = new Vector3();
                    Vector3 point2 = new Vector3();
                    if (plane.Raycast(ray, out distance1))
                    {
                        point1 = ray.GetPoint(distance1);
                    }
                    transform.Translate(Input.mouseScrollDelta.y * 0.2f * Vector3.forward);
                    Ray ray2 = Camera.main.ScreenPointToRay(Input.mousePosition);
                    float distance2;
                    if (plane.Raycast(ray2, out distance2))
                    {
                        point2 = ray.GetPoint(distance2);
                    }
                    Vector3 difference = point1 - point2;
                    transform.Translate(difference);
                }```
it definitely does *something* to nudge the camera into the area of the screen the mouse pointer is in but in practice the offset is not consistent with where the mouse is positioned relative to the objects in the scene. worried Im missing something obvious or that casting against a plane is just not a viable solution for my case
frozen burrow
severe onyx
#

the theory as I understood it was, get a point in the scene from mouse position, do a normal forward zoom in, compare the mouse position in scene after the zoom to where it was before and offset the post zoom camera position by that difference

rich adder
frozen burrow
#

sorry I still don't follow, aren't they the same? Because I only have 1 PlayerInput in the whole project

rich adder
#

PlayerInput handles all the stuff like switching Action maps etc

#

the generated c# class just gets the actions

frozen burrow
#

but how do I reference it instead of the generated C# class?

rich adder
#

[SerializeField] private PlayerInput playerInput

frozen burrow

But that's what I am doing ๐Ÿ˜ญ
