quaint thicket

I'm wondering if any movement systems already exist for a character controller that I can use?

night raptor
quaint thicket
ivory prism
#

Im trying to ground my player again when they jump using character controller, the issue is I can't seem to modify their velocity which is from my understanding the typical way, and I also want to apply gravity as well so its not like an abrupt landing. It's more "smooth"

night raptor
ivory prism
#

I want to make my player smoothly jump and then go back to the ground, currently it looks more like they are teleporting

night raptor
#

If the harsh landing is the only problem you are trying to solve, I would just make the camera follow the target position more smoothly with lerp smoothing or something like that

night raptor
ivory prism
#

Yea one second

#

On the left, you can see when I press space, and even on the right it doesn't really look like they are jumping, its more like they are just "teleporting" to that position or "cutting" (using video terms)

night raptor
ivory prism
#

Im not really sure how gravity works without using a rigid body

#

Im sure I have to do it myself though physics is not something im good at either iara_lul_haha

night raptor
#

watch a tutorial. You keep z velocity which you decrement each frame to make downwards acceleration and increase the up velocity when you jump

ivory prism
night raptor
ivory prism
#

How do you even access the velocity of a character controller

#

I know you can get it, but you can't modify it

languid spire
#

unity bug

night raptor
ivory prism
#

right

#

but .velocity is a struct & also a getter only

#

You can't modify it

languid spire
#

it doesn't take much to look at 'UnityEditor.Graphs.Edge' and see it's a editor bug to do with a window using a graph

#

so yes

night raptor
ivory prism
#

So if I wanted to gradually ground the player, i'd just call .Move on the y every frame?

night raptor

#

ok

whats wrong here

no like i mean why does it say that my script needs mono behaviour

#

There you go. Configure your editor !ide

eternal falconBOT

#

Come back when you have done that

#

Also, I suggest you use Visual Studio or Rider for Unity development

balmy orbit
#

Its better to just use visual studio community

autumn thorn
#

wut am i using??

burnt vapor
#

Visual Studio Code

balmy orbit
#

your using vs code

autumn thorn
#

so its not good?

burnt vapor
#

It's harder to work with and VS has better support

#

So please try using that instead or Rider

autumn thorn
#

k lemme download rider

burnt vapor
#

Check the bot's message for setting up Unity for the IDE you use

autumn thorn

Just follow the setup guide

oh kk

burnt vapor

It's probably not configured

ivory bobcat
serene sage
burnt vapor
eternal falconBOT
serene sage
#

what is IDE?

burnt vapor
#

After that, your editor will correctly point out the error

#

IDE = your editor

#

In this case Visual Studio

serene sage
#

Can we connect on call and I will share the screen. I got some errors

burnt vapor
#

The issue is your misconfigured editor. Do that first

#

The errors become clear after that, because the editor will help you with it

serene sage
#

how to do that

burnt vapor
#

Read the bot message

#

Follow the steps for configuring for Visual Studio

#

Depending on if you downloaded VS through Unity on manually you pick the correct link

burnt vapor
ivory bobcat
#

Run the Visual Studio installer again and you'll be able to modify your current installation. You'll need to follow the steps again and make sure everything is accounted for. Common mistakes would be not adding the Unity Workload to Visual Studio - this had to be done manually. Other than that, the section about external tools might be the issue.

autumn thorn
#

when i open the script it opens visual studio instead of jetbrains rider how do i fix this????

ivory bobcat
autumn thorn
ivory bobcat
#

It would look like this

#

You'd want to select your preferred scripting editor

autumn thorn
#

in unity hub??

burnt vapor

#

am so lost rn

#

i want to use rider instead of visual studio code

ivory bobcat
autumn thorn
#

EXPLAIN TO ME WUT DAT IS'

burnt vapor
autumn thorn
#

where do i choose my preffered scripting editor

burnt vapor
#

Pick Rider instead of Visual Studio (Code)

burnt vapor
ivory bobcat
#

I'm going to assume you simply do not know how to ask where to find the preference window:

In the Unity Editor, select the Edit > Preferences menu.

burnt vapor
#

The link is pretty clear, just read it

#

Just make sure you pick Rider

autumn thorn
#

k did it

#

ty guys for da support

#

so like the scripts should work better??

burnt vapor
#

It should be configured for a start

#

Screenshot your editor again

autumn thorn
burnt vapor
#

Looks fine I guess

#

Try your script again that you had an issue with

autumn thorn
#

ok

serene sage
#

Should I uninstall and reinstall VS Code again?

#

Will that work quickly?

burnt vapor
#

If you follow the bot steps, then you just have to change a few settings

#

Did you install VS manually or using the Unity Hub?

ivory bobcat
serene sage
#

I checked the steps, its confusing to me

burnt vapor
serene sage
#

Its mentioning to select unity development after fresh installation of visual studio

burnt vapor
#

Yes, as a workload

ivory bobcat
serene sage
#

I installed VR Manually and Unity Hub separataley

burnt vapor
#

So what's the issue? Seems clear to me

#

Open visual studio installer, modify your VS that is listed, make sure Unity workload is installed

#

Note VS is not the same as VS installer.

ivory bobcat
burnt vapor
#

What's with the parroting today

#

Surely something only has to be explained by a single person?

burnt vapor

#

Has anyone here tried the behaviour package of unity?

serene sage
#

Should I need to try this way?

Screenshot_2024-11-05_191319.png
#

My Visual studio is in purple and on youtube it shows blue?

#

Which color VS is best for Unity codes?

burnt vapor
#

You need the workload, and then you need to set up Unity to open VS as the external script editor

#

What's wrong with the steps in the bot message? You have been pointed to it multiple times now, and it's very clear on what to do

serene sage
#

I didn't find workload in unity or VS

ivory bobcat
burnt vapor
#

Follow the steps

serene sage
#

ok, I will try again

burnt vapor
#

It does exist

#

<@&502884371011731486>

serene sage
#

Finally got the option for workloads from installer

ivory bobcat
# serene sage I didn't find workload in unity or VS

You will not find the Workload tab in the Unity Hub or Unity Editor. Run the installer for Visual Studio (or download it again then run it), select modify and verify that the Unity Workload is selected. If that isn't the issue, try checking the external tools (which would be mentioned at a later step in the installation guide linked). Other than that, try rebooting the Unity Editor, Hub or your computer.

serene sage
#

what to do in this case?

And I already told you the reasons for those

2 duplicate scripts

Can we have a call here? so that I can share my screen, I m trying since morning, couldn't find errors

it was pointed out the what the issue is, you have to delete duplicates 🤷‍♂️

languid spire
rich adder
# 
public class Cat { }

#

you cant have this

steep rose
#

you can search for duplicate Variables/classes in the IDE and duplicate scripts in the search bar in the project window search bar in unity

serene sage
rich adder
#

thats why they have essentials that then goes into junior path.. and if you dont understand it , you do it until it makes sense

#

this is something that sometimes takes years to learn, you can't shortcut your way to learning

serene sage
#

anyways, thank you for helping me out trying to find errors. I will check some more youtube tutorials.

rich adder
#

youtube wont teach you anything good, how is a youtube gonna teach you not to have a duplicate file?

serene sage
rich adder
#

if you want to do it for real then start by taking your learning seriously

languid spire

#

your picture you sent shows us errors of duplicate variables/classes which means either a duplicate script or some script you have contains the same name variables/classes

That's it

public class Game : Singleton<Game>
{
    [field: SerializeField] private Player Player { get; set; }

    private void Start()
    {
        Player = new();
    }
}

    [Serializable]
    internal class Player
    {
        internal Resources Resources { get; private set; }

        public Player()
        {
            Resources = new(); // This is executed immediately on game start.
        }
    }

Is there any reason why Player constructor is executed without Start() method when I start the game?
Is there some hidden new() when using [Serializable] or a property?

fossil drum
# gray jungle Oh wait, sorry. https://hatebin.com/upcfyfzosg Here it is tho 😄

Hmm, quite difficult.
You can hear that you are jumping.
But you do some strange things with gravity by removing it whilst your grounded.
But the fact that the jump sound triggers, means you set all those booleans again.
But you never actually moved of the ground because of the gravity change. So all those booleans are messed up.

languid spire
serene sage
rich adder
hollow zenith
serene sage
#

I found and removed it. My unity restarted again and now in console no errors. I am checking for some missing scripts

hollow zenith
#

I wanted to see Player data for testing, but I might need to do extra checks to make sure it doesnt run code that can't run this early.

languid spire

#

Thank you so much 🙂

hollow zenith
rich adder

#

when it creates the object

rich adder
hollow zenith
#

So Player is already created because of serialize field

#

But it doesnt say that in the call stack

hollow zenith
languid spire
hollow zenith
#

Ideally pervent it

#

So I can =new() it myself, but I guess thats either too advanced or not possible?

rich adder
#

i mean thats just how the inspector works, unless you do [NotSerialized]

hollow zenith
#

Honestly its just for testing purposes so I don't really need it.

rich adder
#

unity has to create the object before it can show it

hollow zenith
#

Idk how I did it for other games, but I guess that it serialized it twice, I wonder how many bugs were caused because of that lol

wintry quarry
#

I guess if there isn't one actually defined, it will call a do-nothing imaginary constructor

hollow zenith
#

Alright, I will have to live without it then, thanks!

languid spire
wintry quarry
languid spire
hollow zenith
#

Is there a requirement to show a variable in the inspector?

 [Serializable]
 internal class Player
 {
     internal Resources Resources { get; private set; }
     internal int Test = 5;

     public Player()
     {
         Resources = new();
     }
 }

Test doesnt show

#

I am always stuck on serializing things lol and I cant ever remember what the issue is, but I feel like I tried it all.
I can't [SerializeField] since its a regular class.

rich adder
#

internal wont work

languid spire
#

Unity serializer will only serialize public fields in poco's

hollow zenith
#

hmm should I give up internal variable for serialized property? I think not!
Tbh its fine at this stage, but I like having things private/internal 😄

rich adder
#

internal just means visible within the same assembly

languid spire
#

also interal class wont work, serialization is done by the UnityEditor.dll and it cannot see internal classes from Assembly-CSharp

hollow zenith
#

Makes sense, I actually need to learn about assemblies so I can make my own for my scripts, apparently that speeds up compilation time by a lot when developing a game.

languid spire
#

there is an InternalsVisible attribute to override this

rich adder
hollow zenith
#

What does that mean?

rich adder
#

something you typically do in the beginning of the project rather than later on

hollow zenith
#

Yeah this is the very beginning of the project, do you recommend it? I kinda want to learn it.

#

Is it worth it?

rich adder
languid spire
#

you can start by using asmdefs but I usually put all my stuff into dll's anyway

hollow zenith
rich adder
#

something like a class Library etc

hollow zenith
charred spoke
rich adder
#

no I just mean if you start making too much like spaghetti it will defeat the point of asmdebf

languid spire
hollow zenith
#

Spaghetti in a sense that multiple assemblies reference each other a lot?

rich adder
#

yes because if you want to access something within one assembly in another assembly you need a reference and so on

hollow zenith
#

What if I just put my whole game into 1 big assembly, wont that speed up the compilation regardless of how spaghetti my code is?

languid spire
rich adder
hollow zenith
#

because afaik Csharp assembly is my project files + unity + other stuff which is why it takes forever to compile after 1 small change(hot reload saves a lot of time tho, but still)

charred spoke
rich adder
languid spire
hollow zenith
rich adder
#

look up Visual Studio class library for example

#

thats how you normally make a simple DLL

hollow zenith
hollow zenith
rich adder
languid spire
hollow zenith
#

Yeah so if I make my own assembly for my scripts, it should make it faster by itself right? Even if its not ideal and those should be separated into multiple assemblies.

#

This is mostly for the sake of fast development/prototyping, it may not be perfect long term etc, but if it makes it so 1 change compiles in 1 second instead of 5-20 then thats a huge difference

#

Since I can make 10 changes per minute as I test things

#

I will have to give it a go I guess, wont know until I try.
Hot Reload is also something I should be using.

languid spire
hollow zenith
#

Yep that looks good, only 5 references(idk what analyzers are) compared to 100+
I would guess it compiles almost immediately?

languid spire
hollow zenith
#

Nice, I will focus on assemblies tomorrow then or later today.
Since I am early in development it wont hurt, I want to at least see the difference 😄

Hey there :) Not sure if this is the right channel for this, because technically its not about coding, but its related. So I'm using git to collaborate with some peers, and when merging branches, we often get merge conflicts with .meta files and guid. And i've done a bit of research and it seems to me the guid is the reference which tells the attached GameObject which other Asset/GameObject/Script is attached to it. So now i am confused as to why the guid changes so often and in merging conflicts, which guid should i use? Because I'm worried that all the links may break.

languid spire
rich adder
languid spire
charred spoke
#

That or you are not committing your meta files

upbeat timber
#

I do commit them, else i wouldnt get merge conflits, right?

Right but that also means someone is also commiting them on the other end and that should not happen

#if UNITY_WEBGL && !UNITY_EDITOR
    [DllImport("__Internal")]
    private static extern void SyncDB();
#endif

I had to dig for this line of code on some old forum post + I needed some file I think, cant remember how it was done, but it was required to make save/load work on webgl

#

Oh newtonsoft yeah I used that, but I was able to get it without any assemblies

languid spire
#

That is probably an Enscripten import from a .jslib file in your project

hollow zenith
#

Unless I remember it wrong

hollow zenith
#

I think that I had to download something using url from package manager, but I might be confusing it with newtonsoft

#

Regardless its crazy how save/load for webgl requires those hacks that don't seem to be in any documentation?

languid spire
#

that is basically a way for Unity to talk to the JS script in the browser at runtime

languid spire
hollow zenith
#

On that note...Is Unity documentation always so painful to use? I just avoid it at this time as searching for anything is difficult and when u google and open old version documentation there is no way to open same page inn new version etc.

hollow zenith
languid spire
hollow zenith
#

oh you have to manually switch version

#

Actually here is the thing:

#

This was my issue and its still there

#

Is there a way around it?

#

There is no dropdown, maybe old version of documentation doesnt have it

languid spire
#

indeed but if you switch to the 2019 version it does have the dropdown

hollow zenith
#

yes so 2019+ has a dropdown, I might have missed that or a lot of my google searches would open older docs like 2018

#

But thats good to know!

Is there a way to display the line numbers or do I just have to count them every time I chase a bug? lol

So i making a puzzle where you have a set of words that you have to place in a certain spot to complete the puzzle. So for the first few levels there was only 2 word puzzles then i moved up to 3 word puzzles, but how i have it set up is not good it worked for the first 2 but then you add another word and not the puzzles with only 2 words are looking for 3 if that makes sense...

I have it set up by collecting words and then you have to drag and drop the words on the correct "DropPosition" if not the word returns to OG spot and if it does it stays. i know theres a WAY BETTER way to do this but i cant wrap my head around on how to go about it. Heres a screen shot of the code for checking if the puzzle is complete by checking the "DropPosition"
But for the first few levels i only need to check if dropPosition02 and DropPosition02 is correct and not DropPosition3

I tend to do something like:

void Start()
{
  if(Game.Instance.InitComplete) SetupUI();
  else Game.Instance.OnGameInitComplete.AddListener(SetupUI);
}

private void SetupUI()
{
  Player player = Game.Instance.Player;
  player.OnLevelUp.AddListener(UpdateExperienceBar);
}
#

Then combine it with OnEnable/Disable if needed depending on my UI

It can get a bit more complicated if I do Player.Inventory.Item[0].OnCountChange for UI.Player.Inventory.ItemCell(UI object/script to update specific Cell in inventory)

#

I wonder if its too much work/bad practice?

Isn't there an identifier that is something along the lines of gameObject.other or something like that?

Other what

I've identified an object as part of a collision and I want to add force. I was just going to use it to identify which object I'm adding force to

# languid spire exactly

how would i write the code to go through the list and check if the word is in the correct position?

queen adder
#

Can Someone explain to me what i get worng with it?

# 
    private void processWallslide()
    {
        if (isGrounded == false && wallCheck() && horizontalMovement != 0)
        {
            isWallsliding = true;
            rb.linearVelocity = new Vector2(rb.linearVelocity.x, Mathf.Max(rb.linearVelocity.y -wallslideSpeed)); //Caps Full rate
            Debug.Log("WALL");
        }
#

I should decrease the WallslideSpeed, but instead i'm falling faster

#

wallslideSpeed = 2

#

I think is something in the Mathf, but didn't it work?

upper forge
languid spire
#

ok, wait one

#

instead of

if (_dropPosition01.inCorrectPosition == true && _dropPosition02.inCorrectPosition == true && _dropPosition03.inCorrectPosition == true)

you have a List

public List<DropPosition> dropPositions;

which you fill in the inspector
then

int found = 0;
for (int i=0;i<dropPositions.Count;i++) if (dropPositions[i].inCorrectPosition) found++;
if (found == dropPositions.Count)
upper forge
# 
int found = 0;

for (int i = 0; i < dropPositions.Count; i++)
{
    if (dropPositions[i].inCorrectPosition)
    {
        found++;
    }
}

if (found == dropPositions.Count)
{
    puzzleKey.gameObject.SetActive(true);
    TVButton.gameObject.SetActive(false);
    puzzleCompleteText.SetActive(true);
    //UICanvas.gameObject.SetActive(true);
    //Player.gameObject.SetActive(true);
    hasSpawned = true;
}
else
{
    puzzleKey.gameObject.SetActive(false);
}
#

so like this?

exactly, it's not the best way to do it but the most easy to understand

you really need to take the time to learn about array, lists and for loops, your life will be so much easier in the future

so the loop breaks as soon as it finds one not in the correct position. not really important when you only have 2 or 3 entries

when i try to run the game it says i need to fix the errors first

nope

Not like split the terrain

Hey any reason why my movement feels really jittery?

teal viper
slender nymph
#

9 times out of 10 it's usually the camera. but you need to provide actual information. #854851968446365696

cedar prairie
#

Before it felt really inconsistent so i changed the simulation mode back to fixed update and the physics are now consistent but more gitter

cedar prairie
slender nymph
#

and if your camera updates before the object does then you'll experience jitter

teal viper
cedar prairie
teal viper
#

The best way is to align everything to the regular update.

cedar prairie
#

Do i change the "update method"

#

Rn its on smart update i feel it should be on fixed

teal viper
#

On the cinemachine? Yes, better make it update, rather than fixed update.

#

And you can align the rb by making sure it uses interpolation.

cedar prairie
teal viper
#

Late is basically at the same rate as regular update, so you want that.

cedar prairie
#

I think it might be jittering more now

teal viper
#

Then something else is not updated at the same rate(like your character movement)

cedar prairie
#

So do i need to move my movement into late update or just regular update

#

Thanks btw

teal viper
#

It depends on how you're moving it.

cedar prairie
#

Addforce if thats whatcha mean

teal viper
#

Moving addforce to a different update wouldn't change when the object movement is updated. It is moved by physics, so that always happens in fixed update. You can enable interpolation on the rb, so that the position is interpolated during the regular updates.

steep rose
#

any physics related items should remain in fixed update to be on the physics step

cedar prairie
#

Its already set to interpolate

steep rose
#

if you put camera movements in lateupdate that usually fixes camera jitter as it is further down the update queue (I forget the name for it)

cedar prairie
steep rose
#

is your camera directly parented to the rigidbody?

cedar prairie
#

Yeah

slender nymph
#

don't do that

steep rose
#

unparented

#

transform.position = Empty.position;

cedar prairie
#

So make n empty object thats on the player or?

teal viper
steep rose
#

that works for me

cedar prairie
#

I mean its a cinemachine so thinking about it does it need to be paired at all

steep rose
#

oh you are using cinemachine

#

nevermind

teal viper
#

No, it's best not to parent it to anything.

steep rose
#

yes

slender nymph
steep rose
#

do not parent it to anything

cedar prairie
#

Uhhh okay sorry simple question how do i unparent something on a prefab

steep rose
#

you remove it from the prefab

#

drag N drop, or physically delete it

cedar prairie
#

Ive done everything n its still gittery

slender nymph
#

because you are likely breaking the interpolation like dlich pointed out

#

show all of the relevant code you have regarding the player's movement/rotation so we can see where you might be doing that

cedar prairie
#

Alright

#

Ill have to take a pic with my phone though so sorry for the jank of that lol

slender nymph
#

slender nymph
# cedar prairie I dont have discord on my laptop

well conveniently it's a website you can visit. or you can easily just post the code to a bin site (which you probably should be doing anyway) and just type that out manually if you really need to

cedar prairie
#

its not that much code should i just copy n paste it

slender nymph
#

just copy and paste it into a bin site and share the link to that

steep rose
#

remember to save it

cedar prairie
steep rose
#

when does the jitter happen, when you move or when you turn?

cedar prairie
#

move but then the little raycast ball thing also jitters

steep rose
#

also you seem to by multiplying the addforce by time.deltatime

#

which is a no go, since it already does it

cedar prairie
#

cause its in the fixed thing?

steep rose
#

well the method does it normally I believe but also yes

cedar prairie
#

are you sure?

#

cause now its going super fuckin fast

steep rose
#

what is your movespeed at?

slender nymph
cedar prairie
#

all cool n all now its not quick, still stuttering

slender nymph
#

rather than assigning the transform.rotation, assign to the rigidbody's rotation instead

cedar prairie
#

still jittering idk why that would have fixed anything

slender nymph
#

because it wouldn't have broken the interpolation. are you absolutely certain nothing else anywhere is affecting the transform of this object?

cedar prairie
#

yeah litreally nothing is

#

that code is all there is in terms of script for the player n nothing else fucks with it

teal viper
cedar prairie
teal viper
#

Also, don't know if that was pointed out already, but you should move your input querying out of fixed updated.

cedar prairie
#

its like the same thing

hey i'm making this laser for a platformer game im making which uses a line renderer to render the laser and apply a collider which matches the exact size of the rendered laser to reset the scene once the player touches it. for some reason, the collider isn't right and i've tried everything. i visualize the collider with a gizmo to show where it is. https://paste.ofcode.org/3DamS2ugpsbyb748eWUnFn

teal viper
cedar prairie
#

why would the raycast do anything lol

teal viper
#

Since the interpolation doesn't apply to it.

cedar prairie
#

it did nothing

#

i mean other than breaking my game it still jitters

teal viper
#

Ok, then take a video of what it looks like now(with all the suggestions applied).

cedar prairie
teal viper
# cedar prairie

I see stuff rotating, meaning you don't have the rotation commented out as I suggested.

cedar prairie
#

i re-enabled it

#

just imagine no rotation at all in that vidoe and its the same thing

teal viper
#

All of the things that were suggested to this point could be contributing to the issue. Just testing out one at a time would not help.

#

This is the basics of debugging an issue. Please comply...

cedar prairie
silver forge
teal viper
# cedar prairie

Hmmm... That looks very weird compared to normal jittering.🤔
Something weird about the movement itself too.
For example, why would it stop immediately when you don't hold any input? Normally it should keep on moving.

cedar prairie
#

drag

teal viper
# cedar prairie drag

Okay. And if you set the drag to 0, press input a little bit and let it go, does it still jitter when it moves freely?

cedar prairie
#

still jitters when moving freely

First of all, the correct way to think about it is that the gizmo represents the object position. If the sprite is not centered on it, then it's an offset of the sprite itself.

Hello, I'm having a dataflow issue. On a GameManager class I have this event being triggered:

    private void NewGameStart()
    {
        ChangeGameState(GameState.OnPlayerControl);
        OnGameStart?.Invoke(0);
    }

This leads to this class:

public class DroneManager : MonoBehaviour
{
    [SerializeField] DroneHolder droneHolder;
    [SerializeField] List<Drone> Drones = new List<Drone>();
    [SerializeField] public Transform MainBaseSpawn;

    public static DroneManager Instance;
    private void Awake()
    {
        if(Instance != null)
        {
            Destroy(this);
        }

        Instance = this;
    }
    private void Start()
    {
        GameManager.Instance.OnGameStart += AssignDrone;
    }

    private void AssignDrone(int droneIndex)
    {
        Drone drone = Instantiate(Drones[droneIndex]);
        droneHolder.AssignDrone(drone);
        droneHolder.InitializeDrone();
    }

    public void TowDrone()
    {
        Debug.Log("Tow");
    }
    public void LaunchDrone()
    {
        GameManager.Instance.ChangeGameState(GameManager.GameState.OnDroneControl);
        UIManager.Instance.TogglePanel("Computer");
    }
}

Then leading to where It's supposed to set the data, on a DroneHolder class.

    public void AssignDrone(Drone drone)
    {
        if(drone != CurrentDrone)
        {
            Debug.Log("Assigning new drone instance.");
            CurrentDrone = drone;
        }
    }
    public void InitializeDrone()
    {
        transform.position = DroneManager.Instance.MainBaseSpawn.position;
        WeightSystem.SetDroneData();
        BatterySystem.SetDroneData();
        StartCoroutine(BatterySystem.UpdateBattery());

When entering InitializeDrone method, CurrentDrone is null. Why?

# silver forge nope, its not scaling

Then it must be due to offsetting the collider and/or possibly the object itself relative to it's parent. It's really hard to tell without having the project at hand, but should be something really simple to figure out if you have the project.

@eternal needle On BatterySystem.SetDroneData() I have this code:

    public void SetDroneData()
    {
        CurrentBattery = CurrentDrone.MaxBattery;
        OnBatteryHasCharge?.Invoke();
    }

Here I have a NullException

#

That code is supposed to run after CurrentDrone has been set to the incoming drone value

#

BatterySystem.SetDroneData() is called on InitializeDrone

        }
    }

ive got this code attatched to an empty gameobject with a box collider 2d with isTrigger enabled. but when the Player walks into this area (player has capsule collider 2d and a rigidbody component) neither of the debug logs go off so its not being detected

how do i make this more wobbly Sequence wobbleSequence = DOTween.Sequence(); wobbleSequence.Append(card.DORotate(new Vector3(0, 0, wobbleZOffset), tiltDuration / 2).SetEase(Ease.OutQuad)) .Append(card.DORotate(new Vector3(0, 0, -wobbleZOffset), tiltDuration / 2).SetEase(Ease.InQuad)) .SetLoops(3, LoopType.Yoyo); // Adjust loops for extra wobble effect

its a card

How do you destroy a c# object(not a GameObject)? If I create an object with a class constructor and add it to a list, will it automatically get destroyed when I remove it from that list or do I manually destroy it?

c# objects usually are cleaned up by just unbinding any reference(s) to them

    }
}

I tried to make a Dialogue handler which you can call from other scripts but now i've realised that you can't really make a serialized field static which means i cant really edit the gui text from this class. Is there a way to overcome this like another way to reference gameobjects as static or is the whole structure of this class totally wrong

Is it a good idea to keep the interaction action in a seperate script from the other action scripts?

#

Like a seperate script for actions(like attacking/emotes) while one more for interactions(either with Obj or NPC).

#

Mostly as the Interaction script would be the one thing consistent for each character to boot.

Guys i have a parent object and three child objects and with the child object i have animation made in animator and then their is a script attached to the parent object with some animation that i want to play after the childs animation is finished how can i do that in unity?

ruby python
# opal zealot Mostly as the Interaction script would be the one thing consistent for each char...

This is what I'm doing with my interactions.


using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.Events;
using UnityEngine.UI;

public class Interactable : MonoBehaviour
{
    public UnityEvent OnInteract;
    public string str_interactionMessageText;
    public Sprite spr_interactionMessageSprite;
    bool canInteract;

    public void Interaction()
    {
        OnInteract.Invoke();
    }

    private void Update()
    {
        if (canInteract)
        {
            if (Input.GetKeyDown(GameManager.Instance.controlsManager.interactKey))
            {
                Interaction();
            }
        }        
    }
}

This lives on each object that I need to interact with (dealing with the interaction on a mouseRollover raycast thingy), then each object type has it's own 'This is what happens when you press the interaction key' script that gets called from the event firing. (The UI Stuff on there gets passed to my ui dependant on what has been rolled over.)

Is that step code also in update?

That sets the step to whatever the frame rate is at the start. Deltatime changes based on whatever the current framerate is so it has to be recalculated every time in Update

Let me guess, you use convex mesh collider

it's an open box

or single box collider

I don't know

yes it's single box colider

in godot it automatically creates collider for your model

naive pawn

do they have rigidbodies

foggy tundra

is there button like this in unity?

foggy tundra
night raptor
foggy tundra
#

it's the collider

#

so there is no button to create collider in shape of model?

night raptor
foggy tundra
#

like if you import human model how will you make collider?

#

mesh collider?

naive pawn
night raptor
# foggy tundra like if you import human model how will you make collider?

For human model that needs to move around and morph their shape, I would use dozen or two capsule colliders like any other game in the world. unity's mesh collider won't update correctly with moving armatures so it wouldn't really work for most characters. Most games (outside unity) don't even try to use dynamic mesh based shaders because it would be very expensive. For stationary and more importantly rigid objects (not ones bending according to a rig) mesh collider is totally fine

foggy tundra
#

so with every model you need to manualy set up colliders?

#

in godot you just click create trimesh static body and that's it

#

I only doing unity because I need it for my college

night raptor
foggy tundra
#

oh thanks

#

mesh collider works

night raptor
# foggy tundra mesh collider works

For non moving objects mesh collider is often a good option. Someone on the internet may scream to you about their performance cost but it's really not that slow on most cases. Mesh colliders biggest limitations are that dynamic (moving/physically active) bodies can only be convex (no dents or holes) and rigid (cannot be bend by armature/skeleton/skinned mesh/bones/whatever you wanna call that)

#

Obviously if your mesh is just a box, sphere or capsule, you should definitely use the primitive collider types respectively but for more convex meshes Mesh Collider is often fine

Hi! In the project I'm working on, we're importing some 3d models with animations in the same fbx file. At the moment, we're playing these animations using an Animator component and AnimationController, but we have hundreds of clips in the controller and we only ever want to play one clip at a time (we don't need to switch between clips). The animation clips are taking a ton of memory, so I'd like to find a better way to handle this. Does anyone have any suggestions?

#

There's an Animation component that could have worked, but this is now marked as Legacy.

I've not used unity in a while, so im trying to still decide on what the best way of organizing my project is. Normally i'd create empty game objects as containers for my scripts and organize them based off what they do. Such as having a Player game object that holds all player related scripts that then take in a reference to the player prefab, then I'd have one for Environment that handles all environment stuff, like Audio, Lighting, etc etc. I am wondering if this is the best way, or how you guys would recommend, because I feel like when it comes to team projects this won't be the best method.

Hi everyone. I have a question about the best way to handle the Animator and controlling a GameObject’s rotation with the transform.LookAt method.

I’m trying to have my enemy GO look at the player and then chase after them, but the enemy has an animation that affects their rotation when they die.

It turns out trying to manipulate the rotation of a GO in that situation doesn’t work. I have a hacky temporary “solution” that just disables the Animator until the enemy dies, but this doesn’t seem sustainable because i plan on creating a chase animation and can’t have the Animator component off for that.

Can anyone recommend what I should do?

# foggy tundra yes, my bucket falls trough the ground

Right, I thought the bucket was a static object. In that case you cannot use non-convex mesh collider as said earlier so you must use compound collider. In your case you don't need too many box colliders (you can add them as child objects) to create that shape. There are some assets available to generate compound colliders automatically but in your case it seems easy enough to place 5 box colliders manually there to match the shape closely enough

foggy tundra

So I have this text typer for dialogue and I want to skip to the end if the user presses the space button

public async Task typeText(string text,string name)

I noticed the problem, but unsure how to fix it without adding the Interaction System into the regular action inputs script as shared below.
