one sec

ok so THATS what serialize field means

honestly i was confused on why its was a string

ok this is my new code so the parenthesis is the field that i can change in the inspector and the other value is the default?

[frail hawk]

until you change it in the inspector

[ashen isle]

WAIT i think i just had an aha moment one sec

[slender nymph]

in general, making a behaviour tree system

[ashen isle]

ur right sorry got aheasdf of myself brb

[slender nymph]

i just want to point out, if you want to use a behavior tree you no longer need to write your own or use a third party asset. unity has its own behavior tree package now called Behavior

[ashen isle]

i did all that before i started but its giving me this error

it says the unity extension is installed and i did all the other steps on there

[slender nymph]

you need to install the .net sdk. helpfully there is a convenient button to click to get it

[ashen isle]

this one?

[slender nymph]

well that will be a tool that will install it

is that what appeared when you clicked the Get the SDK button? 🤔

[ashen isle]

yeah i see it now, but the popup went away, i'm really sorry i rlly should have just looked.

[slender nymph]

scroll up in the output console and there will be a link to download it there too

[ashen isle]

its not there

[rich adder]

it tells you you need to restart in order for donet tool to be recognized in PATH

[slender nymph]

have you restarted your pc? the extension seems to think it was installed but just isn't in the path

[nocturne kayak]

Alright, so, back on my events stuff and

i'm trying to use this script

[rich adder]

you either. Have compile errors or the script is not a MonoBehaviour

[nocturne kayak]

Selector_Script.current is null

because you are accessing it before it has been assigned. you should really look up how to set up a singleton correctly so you don't run into these issues where you try to access it before its even been assigned

[rich adder]

make sure you initialize anything, including a singleton in Awake

everything else that use those use Start

[slender nymph]

these singleton objects also do nothing at all to ensure that only one of them ever exists at a time

[rich adder]

check out https://unity.huh.how/references/singletons for a good example of doing that ^

[oak grail]

this is two test script

[marsh glade]

Hi, how do I set the position of a transform relative to another without them being parented to one another please ? I'd basically like to put one object on top of the other, so Vector3.zero in the local space of the other object

[rich adder]

you cannot have two MB in one file, same with Scriptable object

unity doesn't like that

[nocturne kayak]

Alright, i put the reference to the selector_script in awake and it seemed to work, correct me if i'm wrong but essentially what happened was that PlacementManager was trying to get the Selector_Script before that reference even existed, right?

[slender nymph]

either assign them to the same transform.position or use something like a ParentConstraint

[slender nymph]

yes, which is exactly what i told you here: #💻┃code-beginner message

[cosmic dagger]

put each of your classes in a separate script file . . .

[oak grail]

no, these are two separate files, I just put the code here together

[nocturne kayak]

this is giving me a good old connection timed out

I thought singletons were simply scripts you only use once, or in a single gameobject

[rich adder]

rlly? thats strange working fine here, I believe its hosted on github so if github loads it should work

[rich adder]

singleton = only one *should * exists

[nocturne kayak]

i can access github just fine

[marsh glade]

I was going to say there's a way to do it using transform methods, because changing parents can cause issues, and I found it : calling TransformPoint(Vector3.zero) on the non-moving object will return the world space position needed. Thanks for answering !

[cosmic dagger]

a singleton only ever exists once. there can only be one. if a duplicate is created, either that or the original is destroyed to ensure only one exists at a time . . .

[vestal adder]

multipleton

[slender nymph]

that is literally the same as doing transform.position = otherTransform.position

[marsh glade]

Science deemed it impossible, yet here we are

[rich adder]

no those are just instances lol

Camera Dragging Issue in Unity

[clear river]

I am using the NavMeshAgent from the unity tutorial to get pathing from A -> B in a 3D space. Everything seems to work fine with this. However, I created a script and I have to attach the NavMeshAgent to a variable in the script. I do this with:

void Start ()
{
    this.agent = GetComponent<NavMeshAgent>();
}

If I do this and press 'Play', Unity crashes and I have to ctrl+alt+delete end Unity... Anyone knows whats up?

[urban chasm]

hey guys, sorry for interrupting, but i have a question

[cosmic dagger]

don't apologize, just ask away . . .

[slender nymph]

this code would not cause a crash. you likely have an infinite loop somewhere in your code

[urban chasm]

so i have this code for my animations, its a top-down rpg kind of game, and it does work, but that many if statements might lag the game in the long run and its just annoying to look at, is there a way i could simplify it?

[clear river]

Is there a way to go through the code line by line?

[slender nymph]

yes, you can use the debugger and break all when it freezes. then inspecting what the main thread is doing will show you where your infinite loop is

[rocky canyon]

yes, breakpoints

[clear river]

Because it seems that I have no infinite loops. It also crashes when I add this component to the public variable during runtime.

[slender nymph]

show the entire class

[rocky canyon]

you could use Horizontal and Vertical Inputs.. and then feed them to an animator with a blend

[urban chasm]

so something like: *** if (v > 0 ) {etc} ***

[rich adder]

if statements would not lag, the difference is literally so miniscule modern pcs are not affected

for game, you should be more worried about renderers and assets lagging your project before anything else..

[clear river]

It's a bit messy though, not really refactored yet. If I comment out the part in the Start() method, it doesn't crash. It crashes when I invoke Start(). An instance of the Inhabitant is created by the CreatureManager (also included)

I'm sorry.

https://justpaste.it/ejw1l

Here it is

[slender nymph]

this is not what i meant when i said you can reuse the component btw

[ashen isle]

oh well lol

[frail hawk]

usew buildindex instead of strings

[rich adder]

that local variable is useless

[slender nymph]

dear god that site is ass. can you use one of the sites the bot linked

[ashen isle]

sorry i got confused, but it was easier and made more sense to me to change the string value within the function instead of in the inspector

[rich adder]

the whole point is to have each one of these with a diff scene name

[cosmic dagger]

you're creating a local SceneLoad string in each of your methods. they are not assigning the SceneLoad class variable . . .

[rich adder]

that doesnt make the script modular.

not everytime you want to add an entry/method for that scene you have modify the file

instead of having 1 file that serves multiple purposes

[clear river]

Haha, I'm sorry. https://paste.ofcode.org/CpPGKkHjWB66KwSjCwLFHd
There it is... The second class is in the bottom

[ashen isle]

so ur saying i can use the same function toi load different scenes?

[frail hawk]

public void LoadSomething(string sceneName)
{ Load sceneName }

you need a method where you can feed in the scene name

[rocky canyon]

    public Animator animator;
    private float horizontal;
    private float vertical;

    void Update()
    {
        horizontal = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal");
        vertical = Input.GetAxis("Vertical");
        animator.SetFloat("Horizontal", horizontal);
        animator.SetFloat("Vertical", vertical);
    }```
soemething like this

two variables between -1 and 1 passed to the animator.. it'll use those to blend between the 4 different animation types

[slender nymph]

well you've got a while loop in update which is typically a bad idea because it can lead to infinite loops if the condition never changes

[rich adder]

ohmyy

[clear river]

Not ideal, still needs to be refactored.If I don't do this.agent = GetComponent<NavMeshAgent>(); on line 43, it just says empty object on line 85.

[rich adder]

I always put a while loop in Coroutine another good way it dont hang the Update loop

[slender nymph]

again, that isn't what is causing the infinite loop. however if you don't assign that variable the infinite loop can't happen on account of a NullReferenceException on a previous line

what is likely happening is that you are instantiating the object within 5 units of a tree, which means on its first Update, it enters that infinite loop. and because you aren't incrementing its resourcesGathered variable (i assume since you've not shown the StartCuttingTree method), the loop never ends

you're also relying on strings for the states which is . . . not great. and your if statements are all separate making it possible to cycle through multiple states all within a single frame

[ashen isle]

ok last attempt i filled in the field as "MainMenu" which is my scene name but the functionm is not showing up in the on click event space

[clear river]

Mhh, let me spawn my inhabitant somewhere far

[cosmic dagger]

did you add the scene to your build settings?

[rich adder]

show what the OnClick shows

i bet you dragged the script from the project folder and not the instance

[ashen isle]

yes

[cosmic dagger]

then we need to see how you setup the OnClick button from the inspector . . .

[clear river]

I gotta come clean. It was an infinite loop. Exactly like you described with the cutting tree. Thank you all so much for helping me out!

[rich adder]

yes you put the wrong script

[slender nymph]

https://unity.huh.how/unity-events/incorrect-assignment

[rich adder]

you need to drag the Instance thats on a gameobject

[rich adder]

nice. was trying to find this link but wasnt sure wat to search lol

[cosmic dagger]

you have to drag the GameObject that has the script attached to it in the field, not the actual script (from the project folder) . . .

[ashen isle]

ok cool

[lunar hollow]

What is the best most Memory Efficient way to get a Camera's (which isnt rendering to a RenderTexture) Image in sprite format?

[rocky canyon]

^ ur fillin the variables of an instance of the script (gameobject w/ script attached).. not the actual script

[rich adder]

probably copying the buffer to a texture then make sprite from texture

[ashen isle]

thank you so much it wasa driving me insane

OH now i get why its because the public string is attached to thye game object

[rich adder]

its because each Instance has their own version of the string with different values

every time you attach a script to a gameobject a new instance is created of that script, each has their own version of the data

[ashen isle]

awesome thank you so much sorry that was so frustrating I'm working on paying more attention to things and problem solving

[rich adder]

takes time, and also experience which comes with time so all you need is time and patience to learn

[upper yoke]

Hi, I need to to update a TMP_Text in a Task.Run (because i do some others async operation there) but when I do so the text isn't updated in Unity, even if it is in the inspector
I tried to use ForceMeshUpdate(true); but it didn't change anything
Would anyone have any advice on that?

[slender nymph]

Task.Run schedules the task to run on the threadpool which means it may not run on the main thread. you cannot use the majority of the unity api off of the main thread so that won't work

[cosmic dagger]

i unsure if that runs/works on the main thread. if not, then it won't update . . .

[upper yoke]

Is there any other way to call async function for Unity?

[cosmic dagger]

use coroutines . . .

[rich adder]

you can call async just fine, they are referring to another thread, something different

[wintry quarry]

Just run them normally, not in Task.Run

[slender nymph]

you can call async methods without running them on other threads. or use a coroutine, or Awaitable on unity 6

[cosmic dagger]

are you not using async/await?

[upper yoke]

If I do so they would freeze my game wouldn't they?

[wintry quarry]

Only if you are doing I/O or a lot of work in a single frame

[upper yoke]

I tried to use a Awaitable but the method is called when I click on a button and Unity told me the method had the wrong return type

[wintry quarry]

call the async thing from the button listener

[upper yoke]

I'm using a library so yeah it might do lot of things, I'm using a TMP_Text to keep progress on that

[rich adder]

btw in the new Awaitable class you can switch to the main thread for specific functions to run within that Task

[wintry quarry]

programming is all about indirection/layers of abstraction. Use them

[wintry quarry]

"using a library" is meaningless

Be specific

what are you doing

[upper yoke]

Sorry I didn't get that message

I'm using an external library that have a method such as "ConnectAsync"
So in my settings when i click to the connect button the text keep track on when it's connected

[slender nymph]

public void OnButtonClicked() => SomeAsyncMethod();
private async void SomeAsyncMethod()
{
  //whatever
}

[upper yoke]

I'll try that

[wintry quarry]

async function will not block the thread, no

if it's truly async

[upper yoke]

Wow indeed it worked thanks, looks like i need to review my C# basics

[upbeat wind]

how do I clamp the camera from looking to far left and right? my character is stuck in a chair for my game so I need to lock how far they can look left and right but I'm only finding stuff about clamping the y axis on google

[slender nymph]

exactly the same way you do it for the Y axis

[upbeat wind]

so change y axis to x axis and lock it (75, 0, -75)?

[wintry quarry]

BTW looking left and right generally is rotation around the y axis.

[upbeat wind]

so would I change which cords I clamps? I'm confused now

[wintry quarry]

Change compared with what?

You'd need to explain what existing thing you're talking about

[upbeat wind]

I have the y axis clamped so the player can't look to far up or down, so would I run another code like that one but change the order of the cords I'm changing?

[zenith cypress]

x is up and down

[upbeat wind]

man this changes everything I knew about coordinates( tbh my only knowledge was from minecraft)

[zenith cypress]

Think about it as rotating around an axis. Left to right rotates around the Y axis. Up and down rotates around the X axis.

[rocky canyon]

up down.. like u got a skewer thru the X
left right.. like u got a skewer thru the Y

[rich adder]

🍢

[upbeat wind]

would I need to create something for the camera to pivot from or can I just clamp the camera it's self?

[rich adder]

you clamp a float only to pass to camera x

I make camera child of empty so I can create recoil without affecting cam

[slender nymph]

the easiest way to achieve this is to use cinemachine which can allow you to enable/disable the rotation clamping at will super easily

[pure quiver]

how do u hbave this menu open

when i use unity i dont see that

[rich adder]

are you using unity 6?

[pure quiver]

yes

im new

[slender nymph]

that's just the scene view. they also just have some of the overlays on the left instead of docked on the top

[rocky canyon]

i just stack them all together on the left

[upbeat wind]

I'll look into it!

[rocky canyon]

the way i've always done look/cam controllers
is to have 1 gameobject rotate only left and right, with the camera nested beneath that would go up and down..
this is the simplest way i've found.. and helps combat gimbal lock..

• OuterContainer < left-right
  • InnerContainer < up-down

cinemachine is also a good choice, as mentioned by box

[onyx ledge]

im new att scripting/programing in Unity and i dont know if this is a problem or not but in others code i have seen this "using System.Collections; using System.Collections.Generic; using UnityEngine;" but i can only have "using UnityEngine;" in my code. is that a problem or am i overthinking?

[slender nymph]

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/language-reference/keywords/using-directive

[onyx ledge]

okay

[thorn tapir]

would a statemachine be appropriate for handling UI? To ensure that players can't bring up the inventory while they're in the pause menu and things like that. Or is there a better way to handle this that I'm unfamiliar with?

[teal viper]

Sure. State machine would be appropriate.

[wintry quarry]

To understand what using does:

With using:

using UnityEngine;

public class MyClass : MonoBehaviour {
}```
Without `using`:
```cs
public class MyClass : UnityEngine.MonoBehaviour {
}```

That's the only thing using XXX does - it lets you write the short names for types without the full namespace.

[gray bough]

Hi! I'm working on a jigsaw puzzle and I can't figure out why my remainingPieces variable doesn't count down correctly. It only ever decreases by 1 no matter what pieces are placed. Can anyone look over this and help me? This is just the function it is in but I can share more of the code if needed.

[teal viper]

Well, you're doing number - 1, so of course it would only decrease by one. I don't understand what the issue is?

[gray bough]

I need it to iterate everytime a piece is placed

[teal viper]

Iterate?

Iterate what?

[gray bough]

sorry, to keep decreasing every time another piece is placed

[teal viper]

Does it not?

[proper bobcat]

How are you verifying that its not working correctly?

Are you printing out remainingPieces somewhere

[gray bough]

in game mode, I can see the value of remainingPieces.

[proper bobcat]

And it goes down by 1 each time? Or only really ever does it once? meaning from 12 -> 11 and thats it

[gray bough]

it only every goes from to 11 no matter how many pieces are placed

[proper bobcat]

Is the logic running more than once? If it isn't it means that your logic isnt being entered

Your conditionals are false except for once

[teal viper]

And do you see the Subtracted one log printing in the console for each piece?

[proper bobcat]

If you don't see the print every time you get rid of a piece, my guess is it has to do with the Name conditional

[teal viper]

Yeah, these conditions do look very suspicious.

Honestly I don't really get the logic behind them.

[gray bough]

yes i see the "subtracted one" more than once

I was following a tutorial

I can send more of the code if that will help

[proper bobcat]

Can you put a debug log and just verify its not counting down. Put it right below the line of code remainingPieces -= 1

[slender nymph]

i'm gonna go ahead and guess we are looking at logs from different objects. or you've omitted some other important code

[gray bough]

This is not a very long script. I can send if that will help

[slender nymph]

sure. but just to confirm, these logs are all coming from the same gameobject, right?

[gray bough]

Different. This script is on all the picture pieces because that's what the tutorial did😢

[slender nymph]

well that would be why then. each instance of this component has its own remainingPieces variable that is entirely separate from the other instances

[gray bough]

I'm not sure how I should split up the script so all the pieces can move and remainingPieces will be calculated

[slender nymph]

separate the logic out. have one central object that keeps track of all of the pieces, and have each piece tell that managing object when it's been used/placed/filled/whatever

[gray bough]

I'm new to referencing c# scripts in other scripts so can you please help me how to divide this out : (

[slender nymph]

give this info a read for getting references to other objects: https://unity.huh.how/references

[proper bobcat]

Either make it static meaning it would belong to the class and not the instances (not advisable), or make some manager object that keeps track of this and not the pieces keeping track of it.

[slender nymph]

making it static would mean they can't assign to it in the inspector

[gray bough]

so keeping all the code that allows the object to move and check it's placement in one script, how would each piece report to a manager script that it is correct and subtract from total remaining pieces

[slender nymph]

by getting a reference to that manager object and calling a method or decrementing a variable or by raising an event that the manager object subscribes to

[gray bough]

ohhh okay. so instead of referencing the movePiece script in the manager script I should reference the manager script in the movePiece script?

[slender nymph]

[proper bobcat]

The cleaner way would be to have the manager script get a reference to each piece. Each piece could fire off an event when its 'collected'? or killed or whatever happens when your piece is subtracted. The manager subscribes to (listens for) this event and subtracts from the total number of pieces in response to the event in its own function.

[gray bough]

😢

[proper bobcat]

Whats there to be sad about lol?

[gray bough]

I'm just so lost on how to do this

[proper bobcat]

Do you have a manager script yet?

[gray bough]

I just made it so it's empty rn

[proper bobcat]

I'll give you a high level overview.

1. Have a manager script get a reference to all the pieces.

2. Stick them in a list for now.

3. Use loops to achieve this. While looping, subscribe to an event that the piece script will fire off at some point.

[molten pulsar]

hi i have a question i use rig builder.build in update to update two bone ik constraint in every fps and when arms gets to the target goes like crazy theres any solution to that?

[proper bobcat]

In the piece script you could, at the top of the script, declare an action like so,
public event Action PieceSelected;

[gray bough]

I have never used an event like that😶

[proper bobcat]

Its ok, its a powerful tool and pretty simple to use

I can walk you through it pretty quickly

let me know if you want to, or if you create it or whatever

[gray bough]

I'm cutting and pasting the code that handles the win state and remainingPieces and this is the code I have for checking if a piece is in it's correct place. If I can use this, how can I then send to the manager script to subtract ?

[proper bobcat]

So this is code on the piece script?

[gray bough]

yes

[proper bobcat]

Ok so in here you would fire off the event if you created it already

PieceSelected?.Invoke();

[gray bough]

how would i do an event in here☹️

[proper bobcat]

Where you want to subtract from the total amount

just put that piece of code I just pasted. Did you create the action earlier when i typed it from above?

[gray bough]

yes I did

[proper bobcat]

Ok so just do the invoke somewhere inside that if statement

[proper bobcat]

cool.

Ok thats all from inside the piece script. Just to clarify. You created an Action event. And wrote code where and when it should fire off.

Now into the manager script

do you have any references yet at all to the pieces from inside the manager script?

[gray bough]

So, no I don't think I have references to them. The movePiece script is just attached to every puzzle piece

[proper bobcat]

Gotcha ok. Where is the manager script located inside the game?

[gray bough]

This is everything in my move piece script

[gray bough]

I can attach it to my game manager

[proper bobcat]

Do the pieces have some common GameObject parent?

[gray bough]

no but I can make one

[proper bobcat]

Theres many ways to get references to GameObjects and Components. We will do simple for now.

How bout in the Piece manager script, you create a serializedField List to store the pieces in and then show me its made

[gray bough]

or does it need to be a GameObject?

[naive pawn]

unity can serialize ints just fine

[proper bobcat]

I mean preferably I would make it the class that is your Pieces

like if your pieces are Piece then the list could be List<Piece> pieces;

The word piece just looks wrong now. I've read it too much.

[gray bough]

in this manager script i only have an int for remainingPieces

[proper bobcat]

Thats fine, did you create the list?

the list should not be int

Its not going to be a list of ints

Its going to be a list of the pieces

[proper bobcat]

What did you name your script for your pieces?

[gray bough]

ohh okay thank you

[proper bobcat]

yupp

[gray bough]

got it fixed

[proper bobcat]

Cool. Ok. Now open the editor. Go click on the GameObject with your manager script on it.

You should see the serialized empty list.

You can select and drag all the piece GameObjects into this list I believe

You may need to lock the inspector so it doesn't switch while you are trying to drag and drop

Which you can find there

[gray bough]

got the list filled in

[proper bobcat]

Coolio. Now lets create a private void OnEnable() method in the manager script as well

[teal viper]

Does your project match the tutorial 1 to 1? Because if you followed a tutorial, it should work. Did they have that script on each piece in the tutorial as well?

[gray bough]

yes

[gray bough]

created

[proper bobcat]

Have you used loops yet?

[gray bough]

no, just if statements

[proper bobcat]

Ok. Lets create a simple foreach loop. It simply loops over each thing in the list.

[teal viper]

Then you missed something in the tutorial.

[proper bobcat]

foreach (var piece in Pieces){}

[gray bough]

in OnEnable() correct?

[proper bobcat]

Yupp

[gray bough]

👍

[proper bobcat]

Ok. inside the loop we are just going to subscribe (listen for) the events that each piece has.

piece.EventActionName += SubtractFromTotalPieces

replace EventActionName with the name that you gave the event in the Piece scripts

SubtractFromTotalPieces is just a name I came up with. This is going to be the name of the method you need to make that will contain the code that will subtract from the remainingPieces

Thats.....it, really. There is some good practices to do as well but lets see if this works first.

[gray bough]

Thank you so much

[proper bobcat]

Thank me when its over lol

[gray bough]

I created the subtractFromTotalPieces func

[proper bobcat]

Awesome, it needs to be exact name of the func minus the ( ) in the foreach loop part

test it out if you have the code that subtract from remaining pieces already written

[gray bough]

I just cut this from the movePiece script

[proper bobcat]

cool, give it a rip

[gray bough]

it works!!!

thank you so much😭 🙏

[wheat ingot]

This error randomly showed up out of nowhere and I can't figure out how to fix it

when I double click it, the inspector seems to bring me to a file called "Graph"

Driving me wild

[teal viper]

Try resetting the windows layout. It seems to be a random ui error in one of the windows/tabs. Probably in something using graphs, like an animator controller or shader graph.

Clear the console and see if the error appears again.

[wheat ingot]

Oh I just restarted it and it fixed itself lol

Lowkey was freaking me out

[polar acorn]

Check the stack trace in the console. It'll tell you what line the error is on. If it's not in any scripts you wrote, it's probably a unity thing (particularly if it has an address hash instead of a line number) and can usually be resolved by a restart

[wheat ingot]

Thanks!

Restarting worked

[light briar]

Anyone have ideas on why I'm getting this error?

FishGenerator:
https://pastebin.com/HbvbHN37

FishingPool:
https://pastebin.com/ehqbDFGM

Json File:
https://pastebin.com/eLP5hXzU

For some extra context, I'm attempting to generate a fish with random things chosen from the JSON file so it's not hard coded variables.
But I am having issues trying to get it to override the FishingPool using the Unity JSON utility

[light briar]

Yeah I'm kinda genuinely at a loss because from everything I can find, I did it right?

[north kiln]

Try creating some JSON using the API and comparing it against the JSON you're trying to load

[light briar]

After trying that and just attemping to load the same json without doing anything to it I still get the same error.

It also looks like the formatting is the same?
For reference this is what it generated

[timber tide]

Look at what you're doing with your function and its return type

[toxic frigate]

hello everyone, does anyone know why this says type mismatch once i assign it?

void GenerateAndAssignNoiseTextures()
    {
        // Generate shape noise (Texture2D)
        Texture2D shapeNoise = GeneratePerlinNoise(resolution, shapeNoiseScale);
        effectScript.cloudSettings.CloudNoiseTexure = shapeNoise;

        // Generate detail noise (Texture3D)
        Texture3D detailNoise = ConvertToTexture3D(GeneratePerlinNoise(resolution, detailNoiseScale));
        effectScript.detailCloudSettings.DetailCloudNoiseTexure = detailNoise;

        // Generate weather map (Texture2D)
        Texture2D weatherMap = GeneratePerlinNoise(resolution, shapeNoiseScale * 0.5f);
        effectScript.cloudSettings.WeatherMap = weatherMap;
    }

all of the variable types are correct

[wintry quarry]

What do you mean by assigning this?

[toxic frigate]

when i set the variable equal to something

[wintry quarry]

You'd have to show us the other code here

[toxic frigate]

like this:
effectScript.cloudSettings.CloudNoiseTexure = shapeNoise;

[wintry quarry]

Whatever effectScript is

And cloud settings

[toxic frigate]

https://paste.ofcode.org/ti2h3v7EBNVjFr74HhRZyM

its a scriptablerendererfeature, so unless theres something really simple and dumb or there are restrictions on scriptablerendererfeatures im not sure why it doesnt work

[wintry quarry]

Is this an editor script or runtime

[toxic frigate]

runtime

[toxic frigate]

the type mismatch error comes up during runtime

[toxic frigate]

so i added this debug log at the end:

// Generate textures
        Texture2D shapeNoise = GeneratePerlinNoise(resolution, shapeNoiseScale);
        effectScript.cloudSettings.CloudNoiseTexture = shapeNoise;

        Texture3D detailNoise = ConvertToTexture3D(GeneratePerlinNoise(resolution, detailNoiseScale));
        effectScript.detailCloudSettings.DetailCloudNoiseTexure = detailNoise;

        Texture2D weatherMap = GeneratePerlinNoise(resolution, shapeNoiseScale * 0.5f);
        effectScript.cloudSettings.WeatherMap = weatherMap;

        Debug.Log("Textures assigned to Effect script in editor.");

and its printing it without any errors in the console but it still says type mismatch

[teal viper]

Share the actual error

And it's details

[toxic frigate]

there are none

if you mean the debug log:

[teal viper]

You said there's a type mismatch error

[toxic frigate]

oh

this is what i meant

[teal viper]

And cloud noise texture actual type?

[teal viper]

I remember there being a similar issue depending on how you create the texture.

[toxic frigate]

this is how i create it:

let me find a code pasting thing actualy

https://paste.ofcode.org/PuyWBcBDCTZxNGxmBuSJEi

[grave sinew]

im getting null reference exception but i can't figure out whats wrong

im following the 2d beginners whatever

aparently the problem is line 18

[toxic frigate]

you dont have those variables

[grave sinew]

dumb it down for me

[toxic frigate]

you need an isPressed boolean, and im assuming keyboard, current, and the arrow keys are part of unity's new input system

unless the tutorial says otherwise

[grave sinew]

this code was copied and pasted from unity's own tutorial

[grave sinew]

i think unity is stroking out

[charred spoke]

Is your project configured to use the new input system ?

[grave sinew]

should be?

[charred spoke]

It’s a yes or no question.

[grave sinew]

how do i check

theres a reason i put this in beginner man

[frozen pebble]

Edit > Project Settings > Player, make sure Active Input Handling is "New Input System" or "both"

[grave sinew]

it was on old

i fixed it

thank you!

[queen adder]

How do i enable nullable in csproj without unity overwriting it everytime i renegerate project file ? I'm tired of adding # nullable enable on every file

[burnt vapor]

Put this on the top of your files:

#nullable enable

[queen adder]

Sorry i confused enabled with disabled, edited my comment

yeah i'm tired of writing that every single time

[burnt vapor]

Alternatively you might be able to add a Directory.Build.props file next to your sln or csproj file. You have to add this to it:

<Project>
    <PropertyGroup>
        <Nullable>enabled</Nullable>
    </PropertyGroup>
</Project>

Not sure if Unity supports this but modern .NET does

Try it and seeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[queen adder]

I saw that answer on stackoverflow but one comment said it is ignored in unity 2022, havent tried myself though

Let me try i guess, txn

[burnt vapor]

Yeah otherwise you're out of luck (probably)

Unity works on updating its codebase to modern .NET in which case it's probably enabled by default

[queen adder]

Um it is disabled by default, hence why im tired writing nullable enable

[burnt vapor]

I know that, I mean that future .NET versions have it enabled by default

Not the current one

[queen adder]

ooh i didnt know, txn

im trying to drag the sunflower to the game field but when i do that it came looking like this at it changes it scale scale whenever i try to hold and drag my mouse, any idea what causes this. im already using rigibody2d and made it kinetic

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.EventSystems;
public class ObjectCard : MonoBehaviour, IDragHandler, IPointerDownHandler, IPointerUpHandler
{
    public GameObject object_Drag;
    public GameObject object_Game;
    public Canvas canvas;
    private GameObject objectDragInstance;
    public void OnDrag(PointerEventData eventData)
    {
        objectDragInstance.transform.localScale = Input.mousePosition;
    }

    public void OnPointerDown(PointerEventData eventData)
    {
        objectDragInstance = Instantiate(object_Drag, canvas.transform);
        objectDragInstance.transform.localScale = Input.mousePosition;
    }

    public void OnPointerUp(PointerEventData eventData)
    {
        throw new System.NotImplementedException();
    }
}

this is the code

[silk night]

you are changing the localscale via mouse position

[bold quail]

thanks 😄

[frozen pebble]

Try using localPosition instead

[bold quail]

thanks 😄

it worked

[kind skiff]

Hey guys, I have just started out with unity

And I'm trying to make an FPS game

However, when I go around with the youtube tutorials

It ask me to use CharacterController.IsGrounded to check whether it is grounded or not

But it seems unreliable as sometimes the isgrounded will be false even though the character is already touching the ground

Why is that??

[bold quail]

Hey guys, I need help again, I dont know why when i placed my sunflower on the container it becomes so small, theres a comparison between when im dragging on the container. heres the code for the PlaceObject function implemented in GameManager

using UnityEngine;

public class GameManager : MonoBehaviour
{
    public GameObject draggingObject;
    public GameObject currentContainer;

    public static GameManager instance;

    public void Awake()
    {
        instance = this;
    }
    public void PlaceObject()
    {
        if (draggingObject != null && currentContainer != null)
        {
            Instantiate(draggingObject.GetComponent<ObjectDragging>().card.object_Game, currentContainer.transform);
            currentContainer.GetComponent<ObjectContainer>().isFull = true;
        }
    }   
}

Any ideas as why its like that?

this is the code for objectContainer

using Unity.VisualScripting;
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.UI;

public class ObjectContainer : MonoBehaviour
{
    public bool isFull;
    public GameManager gameManager;
    public Image backgroundImage;
    public void Start()
    {
        gameManager = GameManager.instance;
    }
    public void OnTriggerEnter2D(Collider2D collision)
    { 
        if (gameManager.draggingObject != null && isFull == false)
        {
            gameManager.currentContainer = this.gameObject;
            backgroundImage.enabled = true;
        }
    }
    public void OnTriggerExit2D(Collider2D collision)
    {
        gameManager.currentContainer = null;
        backgroundImage.enabled = false;   
    }
}

am I missing something?

should i re adjust the height and weight when its dropped?

[wintry quarry]

You're instantiating it as a child of the container

Presumably the container has been scaled

Child objects inherit the scale of their parents

It would be best if the container object is not scaled so you don't have to worry about it

[bold quail]

Oh okay, where do i change that?

[buoyant finch]

https://hatebin.com/ldlzyavtnh https://hastebin.com/share/pixidoraye.csharp
hello I have these scripts but the vinewhipframes are replaced by the scratchimageframes Idk why like when I use vine whip the scratch animation played instead

[bold quail]

u meant this scale right?

and i should make the scale of the container 0 0 0 ?

[wintry quarry]

1,1,1 not 0 lol

[bold quail]

i am so lost, i changed the width and the height but its still so big

after i changed the scale to 1 1 1 😅

any idea on how to make it smaller?

[normal tapir]

using UnityEngine;

public class PlayerController : MonoBehaviour
{
// Start is called once before the first execution of Update after the MonoBehaviour is created
private Rigidbody2D test;
[SerializeField] private float jumpForce = 10f;
void Start()
{
test = GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>();

}

// Update is called once per frame
void Update()
{
    if () {
    Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Space);
    }
}

}

Ok im currently learning C# dont laugh abt my code 💀
Invalid expression term ')'
what do they mean with this error

[bold quail]

im no expert but i think its ur if statement

i dont think u could left it blank like that

[normal tapir]

yea it was if statement

i fixed it

void Update()
{
if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Space))
{
test.AddForce(Vector2.up * jumpForce, ForceMode2D.Impulse);
}
}
}

hehe bit stupid of me

[burnt vapor]

Configure your !ide

[eternal falcon]

💡 IDE Configuration

If your IDE is not autocompleting code
or underlining errors, please configure it.

Select one:

• Visual Studio (Installed via Unity Hub)
• Visual Studio (Installed manually)
• VS Code
• JetBrains Rider
• :question: Other/None

[burnt vapor]

We already told you this yesterday

There is no point in helping you with such basic issues, especially when your editor would do that if you actually configure it

[normal tapir]

this was not the question

xD

i never said i had issues with the ide

[burnt vapor]

It doesn't matter what the question is

[normal tapir]

why

xd

so i can't ask questions??? LOL

[rocky canyon]

not until u config ur IDE..

[normal tapir]

i have configured my IDE

xd

[rocky canyon]

i mean you can but they'll go unanswered

[normal tapir]

so that is not the question or problem

[burnt vapor]

How about you read my messages instead of assuming these things?

[normal tapir]

i already had my IDE configured XD

[burnt vapor]

If you configured your editor it would inform you of the issue, and where the issue is

Show a screenshot of your editor

[normal tapir]

you can do the same with me i said i didn't have issues with the IDE

[normal tapir]

read this xd

[burnt vapor]

Then you need to learn to read your code better because your editor would be very clear where it finds issues

[normal tapir]

yea but i asked what the problem is

well doesnt really matter all that much

hope yall have a great day

im going to develop further 😄

well learn xd

God bless yall

[burnt vapor]

Great, next time you should learn to read the code because your editor has a nice red squiggly line underneath places where there is an issue. Just like in this screenshot

[rocky canyon]

red squigglies for the win

[burnt vapor]

Yeah idk how they could not notice this

Bold of me to assume it's a misconfigured editor 🤷‍♂️

[rocky canyon]

no clue, just giving a demonstration for what it i should look like..

[normal tapir]

i asked what the problem with the error was XD i gave the erorr

[normal tapir]

i said what does this error mean

idk why you guys keep talking further if the problem is finished 😆

[normal tapir]

no worries tho XD someone else said the same thing in #💻┃unity-talk so i prob typed smth wrong english is not my primary language so was prob a problem on my end XD

[normal tapir]

thank you btw didn't even knew this somehow 💀 hehe

you guys tried to help me that is kind 😄

[slender nymph]

this is a code channel

[lime hound]

oops

missclicked on the channel list. Sorry!

[dire cloud]

do anyone know how to code so when i look with my player only the upper body rotate and not my legs. i have legs and upper body as different gameobjects.

[silk night]

• root
  • upper body
    • camera
  • lower body

then just rotate the transform of upper body

[dire cloud]

oh ok thx

[final sluice]

How do I make a ball rotate on the surface ? Do I use transform.rotate or is there a better way ?

[rocky canyon]

transform.rotate would make it just spin in place..
would need a rigidbody and something like rb.AddTorque i would guess

[stone lily]

hello guys, does anyone know how do i make an endless 2d background?

[rocky canyon]

https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=unity+2d+parallax+background

parallax bg is the terminology i think ur lookin for

[stone lily]

i mean, like a endless jetpack joyride BG

not using a paralaxx BG, cuz im trying the 2D basic one

[final sluice]

tks

[rocky canyon]

ohhh thats relatively easy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lWCMhpGuyrU&ab_channel=HerbsterGames something like this?

check the outro and see if thats what you mean?

[stone lily]

is it appliable to 19:6 res?

[rocky canyon]

with a bit of critical thinking yes

[stone lily]

alright, thankyou

i might be try it first

ill report later

[rocky canyon]

🍀 best of luck

[real thunder]

okay so if I make
bool flag = variable > 0
it's set in stone that it's true if variable is more than one the moment it called?
it's not a "pointer" to that equation and I would need to make a method for that, right?
just double checking

[wintry quarry]

not a pointer... no just a regular operation

same as 1 + 1

the > operator is just like any other

bool variables cannot hold "pointers"

[real thunder]

I just had a wild assumption for some reason

[wintry quarry]

you might be confusing things with expression-bodied properties>?

You could make a property like bool flag => variable > 0;

[real thunder]

maybe

[wintry quarry]

that would be a property (not a variable)

which is a function

[real thunder]

makes sense

[wintry quarry]

That's basically equivalent to:

bool GetFlag() {
  return variable > 0;
}```

[real thunder]

yeah, I recall how properties works

however I am pretty blind to those => thingies

people tend to use that so called sugar oftenly and I am just getting confused there usually

[silk night]

its "basically" just a shorthand for a function

not litterally, theres a lot of different stuff happening under the hood, but as an end-user it works almost the same on the higher level

[brave compass]

This concept is called imperative. C# is an imperative language, meaning each statement is a change in the program's state. Other languages can be declarative, where flag = variable > 0 would declare a dynamic variable which is true whenever variable is greater than zero.

[wintry quarry]

yeah normally the property is:

bool Flag {
  get {
    return variable > 0;
  }
}```
Shorthand way is:
```cs
bool Flag => variable > 0;```

[silk night]

Also if you want the "pointer" way you described, look at UniRx / R3 and their ReactiveProperty

[real thunder]

is that any different from making a usual property?

[brave compass]

You can't store a property in a variable, unless you store it as a method reference. Reactive libraries store these properties in objects that can easily be passed around.

[real thunder]

oh, right

[wintry quarry]

How is that different from a delegate?

[real thunder]

less annoying to use I would assume?

[wintry quarry]

delegates are super easy!

[real thunder]

yeah, but that might be faster to use

anyway I don't need neither at the moment, I am just curious

[brave compass]

I misremembered how reactive libraries work. They are reactive, as in you can't access the value on demand like a delegate. They represent streams of data that you can observe and react to.

[steep rose]

are arrow functions => lambda expressions or are they something else completely?

I have never used them before and they are probably great for short functions

[brave compass]

It depends on the context. The same symbol is used for two different things, lambda expressions and expression bodies.

[real thunder]

I hate seeing it in other people's code ><

Nice to know at least that it's not just lambda expressions

I mean wise versa...

I was always assuming it's a lambda expressions and it's too hard for me to comprehend

[real thunder]

I mean, because it's troubling for me to understand, not because I hate them for using them

[steep rose]

ah, so expression bodies are basically just short functions, Although I would have to look into the documentation more to learn how to use them properly
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/programming-guide/statements-expressions-operators/expression-bodied-members

[celest moss]

How can I find out that the "model" objects in my picture are actually children of an fbx file and not the fbx file itself? Because if I get the AssetPath for these gameobject it returns the .fbx path, but that's different

I am validating these objects so I need to reliably skip the prefab and fbx and only look at the objects with the empty icon

[real thunder]

can you even change the base fbx you exported?
I would assume you can't
so just spawn it and compare?

unless you really need a code for that

[celest moss]

I am sending the base prefab into my validator and checking all the gameobjects, two of those gameobjects will always be the prefab itself and the fbx, and I want to ignore those.

What do you mean change the base fbx?

[real thunder]

I wasn't helpful

I just told that if you open the fbx you can manually compare what was there at the start and what was added later

because you can't override fbx prefab

[celest moss]

GameObject go = PrefabUtility.GetCorrespondingObjectFromOriginalSource(transform.gameObject);
string assetPath = AssetDatabase.GetAssetPath(go);
if (assetPath.EndsWith(".prefab") || transform.name+".fbx" == assetPath.Split("/").Last()) 
{
    continue;
}

This is the best I can come up with, the prefab can be skipped as it has .prefab and the fbx can probably be skipped because the name+".fbx" will match the last part of the asset path on that object. But if some crazy person on my team names a model the same as the fbx file it will be skipped due to a false positive

[real thunder]

I would avoid that issue because every time I use an fbx in a prefab I am unpacking it

wonder if that makes something worse

[celest moss]

That's a nice idea but it would break so many other unrelated things

[real thunder]

like what?

[celest moss]

We have lots of custom pipeline tools that would make that a very dangerous change and break stuff :p

[real thunder]

I was asking if it may hurt me 😛

Like am I doing a bad practice

[celest moss]

You are losing the link to the fbx so it could be hard to reload or locate?

[real thunder]

makes sense

I should probably stop doing that

[celest moss]

I recreated a shortcut from Unreal Editor that lets me press ctrl+b to select the selected object in my project. So it's nice to have the fbx in the prefab so I can find it instantly

Unreal has so many nice quality of life tools that Unity just completely lacks that you have to make by yourself

[real thunder]

you should be doing with that question in code-advanced I feel

[celest moss]

Like snapping selected objects to the nearest meter on the grid

[real thunder]

offtop but why switching

[celest moss]

It's not my company ;)

[real thunder]

I keep forgetting it's not all about small indie devs...

[rocky canyon]

tbh.. i prefer unity b/c of how easy it is to create my own tooling.. vs Unreal which i'd have to rely on things just being there to begin with

snapping object to the grid is relatively easy, anyway.. move it to a single digit transform, then toggle grid snapping w/ 1 unit

[real thunder]

at the same time Unity is kinda closed while you are free to modify Unreal source

...not like most people would do that tho

[rocky canyon]

lol, its all fuggered up

you'll have to take it to google... modding topics aren't allowed

[real thunder]

is there a Unity modding Discord I wonder

[rocky canyon]

probably ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[delicate portal]

Well I'll delete it then

I'm not interesting in the modding part, I put that for context

I'm interested in the Unity specific loading part.

Like creating and assetbundle, and then loading the .anim from that

Or Resources.Load somehow?

[pure drift]

does anybody know why i cant drag enemy bullet position into the enemy shooting point in the enemy parent prefab it worked i cant get it to work no matter what i did using online tutorials

[rocky canyon]

b/c you can't drag scene objects into a prefab

[delicate portal]

You can't put gameobjects in a prefab that are not part of the prefab

[rocky canyon]

https://unity.huh.how/references

[delicate portal]

Your explanation's better SpΔwn

[pure drift]

thank you guys i will take a look at that

[queen adder]

I have a little Grid-Based-Game, and want to add a little Shopsystem, where the player can buy objects and place them on the grid. I wonder is there a kind of await return. The simple breakdown would be, Button-Press -> [ShopScript}triggers buyObjects function ->(funtion "paused" until player picked tile)Player can selected Tile on Grid -> [TileScript]This (Grid)Tile set a Varible in [ShopScript] -> buyObject funtion continues (either if Varible X != null after retrun). Do you have a idea what i should look up on google to do such thing, is async teh answer?

[rich adder]

You dont' need this to be async at all. Just event you can subscribe to then unsubscribe when the tile is picked

[queen adder]

okay i look that up, thanks

[rich adder]

more or less a rough example

public class Purchase : MonoBehaviour
{
    [SerializeField] private TilePicker tilePicker;
    public void InitilizePurchase(){
        //stuff
        //open buy menu 
        tilePicker.OnTilePicked += OnTilePicked;
    }
    private void OnTilePicked(Vector3 pos, MyTile tile){
        tilePicker.OnTilePicked -= OnTilePicked;
        //do something based on tile?
    }
}

public class TilePicker : MonoBehaviour
{
    public event Action<Vector3, MyTile> OnTilePicked;
    //probably needsto be with in update with a bool you toggle when purchase needed or other way to detect input / selection
    private void PickingTileLogic(){
        if (Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0)){
            var tilePos = Grid.WorldToCell(worldPos);
            var tile = Tilemap.GetTile<MyTile>(tilePos);
            if (tile){
                OnTilePicked?.Invoke(tilePos, tile);
            }
        }
    }
}```

of needs null checks and other stuff but should get the idea going

[dusk musk]

Hey folks! Despite my adding a Rigibody component with Constraints to my camera, when controlling it I can still do movement I shouldn't be able to. Can someone review my video and offer advice? What I want to achieve is to move along a flat horizontale plane using WASD, and use the camera to aim at things - but never "fly" towards where I'm aiming. Thank you!

[languid gyro]

here's this code for beginners before creating a Button To Exit The Game

[hexed terrace]

that's not good code - why are you sharing that

[naive pawn]

how are you moving the camera?

or actually, rather; you should probably have the camera as a child so it can pitch freely, separate from the player

[verbal dome]

You mean the game exiting when you click the mouse anywhere?

[dusk musk]

Hey! I was originally using this:

    void Update()
    {
        //Get player input
        horizontalInput = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal");
        forwardInput = Input.GetAxis("Vertical");

        //Moves the player
        transform.Translate(Vector3.forward * forwardInput * speed * Time.deltaTime);
        transform.Translate(Vector3.right * horizontalInput * speed * Time.deltaTime);
    }```

But now I'm looking into a Rigidbody and adding force. Which works better, but I have to now figure out how to properly slow down.

So now I'm using this

        //Get player input
        forwardInput = Input.GetAxis("Vertical");

        //Movement
        playerRigidBody.AddRelativeForce(Vector3.forward * forwardInput * speed, ForceMode.Force);

[languid gyro]

oh, right
i forgot that doesn't have a button trigger

hold on i gotta fix that

[hexed terrace]

nah. just delete it

no one needs or wants it

[languid gyro]

ok fine

[naive pawn]

maybe just add linear drag to the rigidbody?

[naive pawn]

pitching the camera up would change the forward direction, so see above ^

[dusk musk]

Thank you, I will try that. Is that called Linear Damping now in Unity btw?

[verbal dome]

Here's a fun way of doing forces:cs Vector3 targetVel = /* your desired move velocity */ Vector3 diffToTargetVel = targetVel - rb.velocity; rb.AddForce(diffToTargetVel * accelerationMult);

You can adjust the "stiffness" by adjusting accelerationMult
The idea behind this is that you only add the force that is needed to reach the current target velocity

[naive pawn]

yeah looks like it

[verbal dome]

Linear drag is also an option yeah. Try stuff out

[dusk musk]

Cool thanks! Seems to work.

[dusk musk]

Thanks, I will try this.

[naive pawn]

...are you trying to implement a jump?

just say so lol

you have the check for detecting a space press

just make it jump/animate
there's quite direct methods for both, have you tried researching them?

[polar acorn]

So... you press space, and you teleport this object to 0, 0.1164255, 0?

Also, put an f at the end instead of casting to float

Huh, they disappeared

[acoustic sequoia]

can someone help me convert this coroutine to a async await Task function?

  {
    float et = 0;
    int i = 0;

    List<Coroutine> routines = new();
    while (i <= diceComponents.Length)
    {
      et += Time.deltaTime / iterationDuration;
      if (et >= iterationDuration)
      {
        Coroutine r = MoveAllDice(diceComponents[i].transform, duration);
        routines.Add(r);
        i++;
        et = 0;
      };

      if (i >= diceComponents.Length) break;

      yield return null;
    }
    yield return null;
  }```

[tough sundial]

Hey. I’m trying to add the text (TMP) to the question txt.

I tried sending the QuizManager over to the “Question Txt”, but it’s not working.

[slender nymph]

your variable type is incorrect. your variable expects a legacy Text object, but you are trying to assign a TMP_Text object to it

[steep rose]

it was all an illusion

[tough sundial]

Do I have to start over then?

[queen adder]

Lol

[polar acorn]

Change the variable type

[slender nymph]

no, you have to change the variable's type to the correct one (TMP_Text)

[tough sundial]

Thank you. Where would it be located?

[slender nymph]

do you know what a variable is?

[polar acorn]

the place you made it

[steep rose]

in your script, you change the variable type

Guys i am using playerprefab to save data i want to save data for scene 1 when i go to scene 2 and when i come back to scene 1 it loads

[slender nymph]

don't crosspost

[onyx ledge]

not going to lie i don't understand C# att all, can someone maby help me out? i just want a quick walk tru.

[polar acorn]

Guides are linked in the pins

[onyx ledge]

ohh realy? ty did not know that. going to check that out. ty for helping me the right way

[steep rose]

better learn then #💻┃unity-talk message

[queen adder]

just get familiar with oop concept the rest is similar in all languages

[onyx ledge]

ty i will try all of this, hopefully i get somhere in unity. ty for you help

[queen adder]

are you using 3d project for quiz game?

[tough sundial]

No.

I’m using 2d.

Universal 2d Core.

[tough sundial]

My apologies, I’m doing a project my professor assigned me to do. I got everything right, but all I need to do is change the variable.

[slender nymph]

and you know what a variable is, yes?

[tough sundial]

Sadly, no. 🙁

I just learn the stuff from YouTube.

[slender nymph]

there are beginner c# courses pinned in this channel. perhaps start there if you didn't pay attention in class

[tough sundial]

Never mind.

I got it!

Thank you.

[slender nymph]

you should still go through the beginner courses if you plan to continue using c#

[rapid locust]

I have a problem with a USB joystick; it works in the editor and Windows build, but when I build it for Android, it stops working. I am using the new input system.

[proud vigil]

im super sorry if this is the wrong Channel, but i got no clue where to put it: my Game Scene - even when everything is empty - can only reach 15 fps at max... i never had that before, any idea why? Target Framerate is 60fps and "Gfx.WaitForPresentOnGfxThread" takes like 50% of the time per frame

[teal viper]

That's a GPU bottleneck. What do you see in the GPU module of the profiler?

[rare basin]

public override void PerformAction(Character caster, Character target)
{
    base.PerformAction(caster, target);
    caster.AnimationController.PlayAnimation(animationStateName);
    
    caster.StartCoroutine(WaitUntilAnimationFinish(caster));
}

private IEnumerator WaitUntilAnimationFinish(Character caster)
{
  yield return new WaitForEndOfFrame();
  
  var stateInfo = caster.AnimationController.GetCurrentAnimatorStateInfo();
  
  while (true)
  {
      Debug.Log($"NormalizedTime: {stateInfo.normalizedTime}");
      
      if (stateInfo.IsName(animationStateName) && stateInfo.normalizedTime >= 1f)
      {
          actionFinished = true;
          yield break;
      }
      yield return null;
  }
}

why is the normalizedTime always printing 0, even when the animation is playing properly? That results in actionFinished never set to be true. I want to set it to true after my animation finish

public AnimatorStateInfo GetCurrentAnimatorStateInfo()
{
    return _animator.GetCurrentAnimatorStateInfo(0);
}

[proud vigil]

thats what my profile says, im struggeling to read that clear tbh, never used it before

found it... my nvidi control panel screwed EVERYTHING. even with it beeing set to 50fps its locked to 15 for magical reasons. i set it now to 250 and i get clean 125 frames (no clue why its halved but idc... works)

[teal viper]

It depends on the vsync settings as well.

[narrow frost]

How do I override height settings on an object that spawns on a spline?

by default, when attached to the spline, my train is spawing below the track

when I change the train position to +10 on the Transform properties (of the train itself) then it looks correct BUT when I press play it re-takes the variable from the spline and goes back under it. Any ideas?

[frosty hound]

Where is the pivot of the train?

[narrow frost]

I don't know what that is, I'm a complete noob 😕

[frozen pebble]

Are you trying to call a function when the animation ends?

[frosty hound]

The point in space that the model uses at its position.

[narrow frost]

Where do I find that out? Also, it's linked to the spline, that seems to be the issue (I want it to follow the spline, but I want to add +10 to its height, the train that is, instead of it taking the spline height which is -9)

[frosty hound]

The issue is that your pivot on the object isn't at the bottom of the train. That's the point that is aligning with the spline.

But if you want to hack around it, when you position the object when evaluating the spline, just add the height offset to it as well

[narrow frost]

Where would I add the height offset, though, as I'm not sure where to do so

[frosty hound]

Code

[narrow frost]

or how to change the pivot point?

ah 😕

[frosty hound]

In a modeling program such as Blender

[narrow frost]

ugh

seems so bizarre for something so simple

[frosty hound]

Alternatively, you can create an empty object and put your train in there and offset the train inside.

Then use the root object on the spline

[narrow frost]

Okay, that makes more sense to me I will look at that

[frosty hound]

Stop crosspointing, thanks.

[valid violet]

@tall glen you can save data inside player prefs or in file (if u want save that data on disk) or you can use DontDestroyOnLoad method

[tall glen]

ik that i can say private voide Start() and then Savedata for example but how do i do it with scene entry and exit

[stuck palm]

if playerprefs cant find anything, does it throw an error?

[tall glen]

no

[tall glen]

private void OnSceneUnloaded(Scene scene)
{
// Save the game data before leaving the scene
SaveGameData();

it looks something like that

but i want it to load and save between switching scenes

[valid violet]

You can use OnApplicationQuit for example

[tall glen]

Already did

[valid violet]

Or just in method before you are loading scene

[tall glen]

but i want berween scenes

cause i use scenes as cutscenes

[polar acorn]

Don't use PlayerPrefs to pass data between scenes, use a DontDestroyOnLoad object

[tall glen]

i dont understand

[valid violet]

you should have public void LoadScene(int sceneId){Save(); LoadScene(sceneId); }

[polar acorn]

PlayerPrefs leaves its data behind in the system's registry, storing a lot of data in there means a big chunk of space your average user probably won't know to get rid of

[polar acorn]

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

[tall glen]

its the simplest way

player pref

[polar acorn]

Imagine if simply playing a unity game tied up a gigabyte of your hard drive without telling you that stuck around even after you uninstalled the game

[tall glen]

cause i cant find a youtube vid thats acctually good

[valid violet]

Don't destroy on load will make your object undestroyable when you change a scene it will exist with data u set in previours scene

[polar acorn]

It's unlikely you'll store that much data, but you still shouldn't. Player prefs should be for exactly that, preferences. Things like graphics settings, window size, etc.

[polar acorn]

If you need data to go across scenes, better to just put that data on a game object and pass that entire object between scenes

[tall glen]

no i dont want it to go actoss scnes

[polar acorn]

Doesn't require writing anything to your user's OS Registry that way

[tall glen]

i want it to stay

so when scene 2 cutscene is done

[polar acorn]

Then what are you trying to do

[tall glen]

it can still be same

[polar acorn]

That's what "across scenes" means

[tall glen]

so U go do the motrher and brother mission

so i add this and itl work?

[tall glen]

i tried to do many save methids

but it all didnt work

this is the only one i acctually understood

[teal viper]

If you just need to keep some data between the scenes,do what digiholic recommended.

[tall glen]

so i dellete all this

and start all over again

[valid violet]

Sorry Im blind your code is fine you have already SaveGameData in correct place inside SwitchScene()

[tall glen]

but when scene 2 is loaded and cutscne is done i come back again to scene 1 and i have to do the missions again

and its a loop

[icy crag]

there might be a bug in your code for the next level

[tall glen]

its not a next level

[teal viper]

@tall glen
Probably because there's an issue with your saving/loading logic. Or just the game flow logic in general.🤷‍♂️

As for what Digiholic recommended, there are plenty of videos on that:

[tall glen]

watched most of them

i coudnt understand

damn

its 3 am

[teal viper]

Then start simpler. Did you go over the beginner pathways on unity !learn?

[eternal falcon]

:teacher: Unity Learn ↗

[tall glen]

no

[teal viper]

If you don't k ow the basics, you're gonna keep on struggling.

Do proper learning before continuing your project.

[tall glen]

i just need to do this then ima publish the demo

[teal viper]

No

[steep rose]

Learn to use unity and C# and it will benefit you, as that is what happens when you learn most things. #💻┃unity-talk message

[icy crag]

I'm sure P-A-I-N knows the basics

[tall glen]

i was making a game

thats why i choose unity

cause im familiar

also i learned some of c#

the one i sended was called a method

[valid violet]

Check the LoadGameData just debug it if it will be loaded in first scene in right place or it is rewrited somewhere to starting values when you are loading first scene

[tall glen]

im gonna just watch a vid

[icy crag]

Ok maybe you might have missed something in the code

[tall glen]

like digiholic said

[icy crag]

i do that all the time

[polar acorn]

You could load the second scene additively and disable the first scene, then when the cutscene is over unload the second scene

[icy crag]

thats a good idea

[tall glen]

i dont understand

like in timeline i put activation track

[valid violet]

You can have problem when scene rewrite data to default and saving it in wrong place so you LoadSaves after it was set to default values

[polar acorn]

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/SceneManagement.LoadSceneMode.Additive.html

[tall glen]

OH

but how do i do that

[icy crag]

P-A-I-N maybe that might be the bug right there

[tall glen]

cause there will be 2 cameras

wait i record

here

dont mind colliders

theyre easy

i fix later

im trying to rebind controls using PerformInteractiveRebinding , however I set up reference only for InputBinding, how do I get InputAction and the binding index from there ?

[supple salmon]

Hmm they are not the most recent log statements from your video. Do you get your debug log statement ‘Player reference is null. Cannot load position.’ logged while changing back to your first scene?

[worthy veldt]

i couldnt find how in here https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.inputsystem@1.0/manual/ActionBindings.html , is it not possible and i have to ref the input action and index instead ?

[pure drift]

does anybody know how i could make it so that the enemy spawns properly instead of in a huge rectangle i tried implementing some things from online but i couldnt get it to work. im assuming its to do something with the frames per second and thats why its spawning alot but im not sure what to do about it

[thick merlin]

Trying to following a youtube guide but I'm already stuck. I can't find the sprite mode and pixels to units option anywhere? Anyone know where

confused, why cant i see pixels to units

is the problem that the enemy spawns rapidly or is it a problem with enemy position?

im using a line render to show a connection between my player and my grappling hook however when i first draw it it draws a line randomly to the middle of the screen and then snaps back to the correct place does anyone know why this might happen

[pure drift]

i think the problem is that the enemy spawns rapidly

[steep rose]

you said it spawns in a rectangle and this is not what you want but I do not see any instantiation code for the enemy, you would need to provide such code so we can see why it does this.

And please use the bot for code formatting.

[pure drift]

sorry im having a hard time with the pasting service

yeah somethings up with my cookies sorry for the troubles ill try again a different day

[sour nimbus]

Does anyone know a way to prevent this from happening? What happens is that when I rotate the sprite it moves and doesn't stay in the same position. I am using spriteRenderer.flipX to rotate it

[slender nymph]

that means that the sprite's appearance is not centered on its pivot point

[sour nimbus]

Do you mean changin center for pivot?

[slender nymph]

no, i mean the actual sprite's pivot point in the sprite editor

[sour nimbus]

In the sprite editor it is set so that it is in the center

[slender nymph]

show it

[slender nymph]

okay, now actually look at where the pivot point is in relation to the image

[slender nymph]

so you see that circle in the center? that's the pivot point. what do you think will happen when you mirror that image along its pivot point

[sour nimbus]

I assume it happens because the edges of the sprite are larger than the sprite itself, but I put it that way because when using larger animations like hitting it looked like it was moving while doing the animation, I don't know if you understand. Is there a way to prevent that from happening so i can set the borders normal?

[slender nymph]

you need to adjust its pivot point so that the sprites always line up correctly

[polar acorn]

Set the pivot in the position you want to remain constant when the sprite mirrors or changes

[sour nimbus]

I solved it, thank you

[final sluice]

So after I add this single line of code, the ball fall down extremely slow, what might be the reason for this ?

[slender nymph]

you're setting its Y velocity to 0 which is resetting gravity

[final sluice]

oh

crap

Tks

[slender nymph]

since you're probably using unity 6, and this is clearly 2d, just assign the linearVelocityX or whatever that property is now called

[final sluice]

Do I need to create a new vector to assign it ?

[meager gust]

wouldn't that be the Y axis

[naive pawn]

no, since you would want to leave the y velocity up to gravity

[slender nymph]

no, it only assigns the one axis so you only assign a float to it

[final sluice]

tks

[meager gust]

in the screenshot he's setting the linear velocity Y to 0

[naive pawn]

which is what you don't want to do

[meager gust]

yes...

[slender nymph]

right so they need to only assign to the linear x velocity, not both axes

2d has properties to assign each axis individually (in unity 6)

[meager gust]

ah, didn't know that was possible with 2d

[ember tangle]

If anyone else had this problem, the issue is that Unity C# does not support Func<> and you need to use Action<> instead.

[slender nymph]

unity absolutely does support Func

[north kiln]

There is nothing about Unity that stops you from using Func

[cosmic dagger]

huh? there is nothing wrong with Func<> . . .

were you trying to return a value?

[slender nymph]

it sounds like you probably had a method that returned void with a GameObject parameter, which is indeed an Action<GameObject>, a Func<GameObject> would be a method with no parameters that returns a GameObject

[cosmic dagger]

you probably used the incorrect delegate and received an error . . .

[ember tangle]

Well I tried Func<> several ways with no success, and Action<> works perfectly.

[slender nymph]

show what you were actually trying to pass

[cosmic dagger]

because you prolly used it incorrectly, that's all . . .

[ember tangle]

{
    pointer = new PointerEventData(eventSystem);
    pointer.position = Input.mousePosition;

    //Create a list of Raycast Results
    List<RaycastResult> results = new List<RaycastResult>();

    //Raycast using the Graphics Raycaster and mouse click position
    raycaster.Raycast(pointer, results);

    //For every result returned, output the name of the GameObject on the Canvas hit by the Ray
    foreach (var result in results)
    {
        if (result.gameObject.CompareTag("ItemPane"))
        {
            function(ItemPane.GetPaneFromObject(result.gameObject));
        }
    }
}```

[cosmic dagger]

Action is the typical/normal way to pass a method . . .

[slender nymph]

i'm just gonna go ahead and link this again because it explains exactly what you were doing: #💻┃code-beginner message

[north kiln]

If you just had the above code and instead had Func then you just misunderstand what Func does

[ember tangle]

Very likely

[cosmic dagger]

i would've looked up Action and Func to see what they are/do and their differences . . .

[ember tangle]

I read several stack overflow questions claiming that Func<> works as a function delegate, tried it, looked at more and saw this: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/54772578/passing-a-function-as-a-function-parameter

again, very likely im wrong but my code works and thats enough for me

[slender nymph]

Func has a return type other than void. Action has a return type of void

[final sluice]

Is the physics engine stable ? Do they have a way to calculate a fixed time between updates or they rely on my hardwares ?

[north kiln]

What do you mean calculate a fixed time? Fixed Update is advanced by a fixed time, there's nothing to calculate

[cosmic dagger]

if it wasn't stable, i don't think they'd have much of an engine for anyone to use . . .

[ivory bobcat]

Encapsulates a method that has a single parameter and does not return a value.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.action-1?view=net-9.0
Encapsulates a method that has no parameters and returns a value of the type specified by the TResult parameter.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.func-1?view=net-9.0
The function variation shown above simply does not take an argument but the other variations do.
Action and Funcs differs in that Funcs always expects something to be returned.

[cosmic dagger]

also, they already calculate a fixed time between frames . . .

[final sluice]

Yes, that's one, I was just wondering since I have to add time.deltatime to Updates because it's framebased, and if I dont need it for fixedupdates, then does that mean fixedupdates has a way to calculate a fixed time accross all the machines ?

[north kiln]

If you want to understand FixedUpdate a bit better I have a page that describes it https://unity.huh.how/info/fixedupdate

[final sluice]

This page is awesome ! Thanks for the recommendation

[north kiln]

not sure where my arrowheads have gone, but whatever 😄

[teal viper]

Vertx shameless self promotion 😛

[cosmic dagger]

nah, this is just godly awesomeness . . .

they've seen people ask the same questions and problems more than anyone. it makes sense to have a document for all this stuff . . .

[timber tide]

dont need to think too hard if you just shove everything into fixed

[cosmic dagger]

heck, i created one when i first started unity for beginners . . .

[final sluice]

is that an actual recommendation I should follow ? honestly I still dont know when I should use fixed or updates

[timber tide]

It's a joke, but a good way to think of it is you're more likely to break stuff putting stuff that belongs in fixed update into update

as far as unity physics (rigidbody) modules go

Stuff that belongs in update -> Polling input, and lerping visuals

If you use Unity's (now) standard input then you can cut out the input polling, and if you download a tweening library (or coroutines) you can use that over lerping in update

[molten dock]

how do check if a variable is worth more than another by a certain amount

[tardy kelp]

Hey I'm trying to make a boomer shooter where the player's gun is a 2d image and animation. would I add a canvas to the player and have that run the gun animation?

or would I do something else?

[teal viper]

Wdym by "worth"? In what currency?😅

[cosmic dagger]

Check if the difference of both variables is larger than your certain amount . . .

[light briar]

You would do something like

if(a > b && a - b > minimum difference){
Function here
}

If I understand your question right

[teal viper]

Probably not a canvas. A sprite renderer with an animator should do.

[tardy kelp]

would I have it shown in the camera?

[timber tide]

Overlay or second camera is a good idea, but if you do want some scene lighting then you need inject the ordering of it manually into the pipeline

[tardy kelp]

gooootcha

[cosmic dagger]

Just get the absolute result of a and b and check that against the minimum difference . . .

[tardy kelp]

wait a second camera?

[molten dock]

yes thats what i meant thank you

[cosmic dagger]

You still need to handle if b is greater than a . . .

[light briar]

From the way he worded it, it sounded like they wanted to only check one way around. I could definitely be mistaken though

[molten dock]

id like to check if the difference between two variables is equal to or above a certain amount :)

[cosmic dagger]

You could be right. I don't know, so I'm covering all bases . . .

[teal viper]

Then you don't need a > b condition.

Just a - b > c would be enough

[light briar]

True true

[cosmic dagger]

Then get the absolute value of a - b and compare that . . .

[molten dock]

why are we doing minuses

[cosmic dagger]

That gives you the difference . . .

[molten dock]

oh yeah lol i see

alright thanks

[final sluice]

I want to make a ball jump while it's on ground, can someone give me a direction in what should I do ?

[timber tide]

You should search around for tutorials depending if you want to use unity's rigidbody physics, or making a kinematic ball where you control the bounce more directly

[final sluice]

So I have this code, the horizontal movement is fine but the ball don't go up all the time when I press w , why is that ?

[teal viper]

Input should be queried in regular update.

[final sluice]

tks

[final sluice]

Do you guys use the new input manager ? Is it necessary for a professional job ?

[rich adder]

yes, no.

[charred spoke]

If knowledge of the new input system is part of the job requirement then yes. Best learn it now to future proof. The ild input will be deprecated at some point.

[sour nimbus]

How can I make the objects appear above a panel in unity 2D?

[delicate portal]

Hey I'm using assembly definitions, but I referenced assembly2 to assembly1, but I cannot use the classes in assembly2's scripts in script1 but I can use assembly1's scripts in script2. How can I fix this without circular reference?

[charred spoke]

I’m confused if you reference assembly2 into 1 you should be able to use types and methods from 2 in 1’s code

[delicate portal]

But I can't do 2's code in 1

I need them to reference each other

[charred spoke]

You cant do that

Consider restructuring your code into 3 assemblies.

[languid spire]

only way to do that is by using Reflection

[delicate portal]

Right, so what do you advise that 3 to be

[charred spoke]

Circular references are bad design that should be avoided

[charred spoke]

Split the parts from one and two that are needed in both into a 3rd assembly

[delicate portal]

Thanks

What movement methods should I use for a moving platform ?

physic based velocity changing or transform.translate/transform.position

[delicate portal]

I'd just use parenting

[delicate portal]

but if you're asking specifically the platform's movement, Vector3.Movetowards in a lerp is a great option

Or vector2

[teal viper]

If you want it to interact correctly with physics, it should be moved by physics. Velocity is fine, but you can move it more directly with MovePosition

How do i make it so that everytime i create a script inside a folder, the script body will automatically be inside specific namespace ? Something like assembly definition root namespace, but i dont want to use assembly definition for that

[delicate portal]

Just type it in

[queen adder]

I mean, i wonder if there is automatic way to do it

Just to make my hand less tiring

[delicate portal]

There is a way ye

[queen adder]

Ok thanks i'll read that

[queen adder]

Eh, i read that, but it apply to all script, not just the one inside a folder

[final sluice]

Why do I need to multiply a vector with time.deltatime if it's in fixedupdate ? ( this is taken from the unity manual )

[queen adder]

That is not what i'm looking for

[delicate portal]

I mean, one time will come when you'll have to use assembly definitions, its good design

[queen adder]

If i use assembly definition inside another assembly defintion, does the other asmdf reference the asmdef inside it ?

i want to avoid asmdef because the folder is already inside an asmdef and i dont know how nested asmdef work

[delicate portal]

You can use auto reference and then it will yes. But you can add it manually as well

[delicate portal]

I don't like to type out namespace everytime either, I just don't do it, and at the end of the day I do it for all scripts I made that day 😂

I'm that lazy

[queen adder]

welp, looks like manual is the way then

[delicate portal]

For now, but you can give it a search

[north kiln]

So if you changed the fixed update rate you would get the same distance

[north kiln]

Your IDE should be able to help. At least with Rider it'll try its best and automate it, and at least if you used the refactoring tools to add it it'll use autocomplete

[queen adder]

I use visual studio 2019

[final sluice]

What is the fixed update rate ? Do they vary machines between machines ?

[queen adder]

Fixed update rate is the rate at which fixed update is invoked

[north kiln]

The rate set in the project settings under Time

[final sluice]

So If I don't change the fixed update rate, it doesn't matter ?

[north kiln]

Not particularly, your speed might not be in m/s in this specific case. Many other cases are multiplied internally so multiplying again would be bad. It really depends what API you use

[hexed terrace]

you can't, you would have to write an editor plugin for it

[burnt vapor]

Multiple ways

For example, make a third assembly that is shared between the two

In cases where you hook content onto another assembly you can have assembly 1 reference interfaces which assembly 2 then hooks onto through extension methods provided by assembly 1

But most importantly, circular references usually mean that you are trying to decouple too heavily because they both depend one achother

So optimally it should just be 1 assembly if there's no logical way to have a shared assembly, or hooking

For example, if it's just general utils used then you might aswell make an assembly for those specifically

It would help if you explain your use case more clearly so a proper solution can be given

And pls don't use Reflection like SteveSmith mentioned. You should not have to use Reflection and it is going to look horrible. The only case would possible when you involve attributes to hook onto content

Literally have this issue in a project at work where they have two projects and they just use reflection now to get content. It's impossible to debug or unhook now and I can't use the project because of it

Can you declare a private variable that is the name of another object?

[languid spire]

yes as long as they are not in the same scope

[past spindle]

Can you elaborate?

[languid spire]

do you knoow what scope is?

[past spindle]

Sort of. I have a page open that I'm reading on Variable scopes (unity docs).

[languid spire]

a matched set of braces { } is a scope
a variable must be unique within a scope

[past spindle]

ok

[languid spire]

this is basic C# so you should be using the C# docs not the Unity ones

[past spindle]

ok

[past spindle]

I've been trying the following line of code and variations of it, but I keep getting errors. Is there another way to go about this or do I just need to tweak something?

private string shapeClassF = gameObject.GetComponent(name) ;

[placid oxide]

any idea why I get the same coordinate in the debug regardless of the position of the card?(same position for every card spawned and set to grid)

[languid spire]

you are trying to get a component into a string variable. That can never work

[past spindle]

I just want the name of the component. Isn't that a string?

[hexed terrace]

You don't get the name of a component with GetComponent<T>().. you get the component

[languid spire]

wdym by name of the component

[steep rose]

do you mean name of the object?

[past spindle]

Yes, I mean the name of the object
