swift crag
#

you might just make a list of all valid sentence arrangements

rancid tinsel
#

im starting to think im overengineering it a bit since ill probably have 3 "parts" max to a sentence

swift crag
#

in that case, make an enum for each sentence part

rancid tinsel
#

but ill give it a proper think after resting

rancid tinsel
swift crag
#

why don't you think the blend tree is changing?

swift crag
#

I guess you could just hard-code it in the script, too

rancid tinsel
#

i see what you mean

spiral narwhal
swift crag
swift crag
rancid tinsel
#

that way i can easily identify what kind of "part" it is and just check the order

spiral narwhal
#

The idle tree's x and y never change

swift crag
#

The sliders have nothing to do with the default parameter values

#

(or the current parameter values, if you're in play mode and have an animator selected in the scene)

#

You can ignore them

rancid tinsel
#

aight im off for tonight thank you very much for the help!

swift crag
#

no prob (:

spiral narwhal
swift crag
#

I use SerializeReference quite a bit for making things like "filters" and "scoreres"

spiral narwhal
#

I can record a gif if it helps

swift crag
#

That's probably not helping

spiral narwhal
swift crag
#

Okay, that looks fine

#

Are you not seeing the animations playing at runtime?

#

I did just go and check on a VRChat avatar -- changing the sliders while live-linked to an animator in the scene does, indeed, affect parameter values

#

i was thinking of the behavior when outside of play mode, where the sliders have nothing to do with the actual parameter values

#

(for me, they're often things like "3.06e-10" or "NaN")

spiral narwhal
#

Hm, do I have to expose the parameter somehow? I remember this is kinda the case in the audio mixer

swift crag
#

No, you don't

spiral narwhal
#

Like, how does Unity know these are all the same

image.png image.png image.png
swift crag
#

Oh

#

You're talking about the position of each motion on the blend tree

#

The names are coincidentally similar

spiral narwhal
#

Perhaps me naming them "x" and "y" was not very helpful..

#

It basically describes the player's input axis

swift crag
#

This blend tree has four motions in it

#

They're at these positions:

[0, 0]
[1, 0]
[-1, 0]
[0, 1]

#

I randomly picked two parameters from my avatar. I wound up with "Constant/One" and "Voice"

#

unsurprisingly, the first one is always 1

spiral narwhal
#

Ah, for me this is empty

image.png
swift crag
#

did you make x and y ints

spiral narwhal
#

How did you get "Constant/One"

swift crag
#

Oh yeah you used integers

#

that's why

#

I glossed over that entirely

#

blend trees use floats

spiral narwhal
#

I made them as parameters of the animator

image.png
swift crag
#

Delete them and re-create them as floats

spiral narwhal
#

Ohh

#

No way it's something this dull haha

swift crag
#

I wonder if x and y are just the default names it plunks in there

#

Hi, I don't know if you can help me with this code. This code is supposed to make the YXZ axes appear when an object appears but it doesn't move it with the axes.

swift crag
#

the funny thing is that, under the hood, they're all floats anyway

#

Please use a paste site for large amounts of code

If you can help me with the code

#

This is abused heavily for advanced VRChat nonsense

#

Almost every parameter on my avatar is a float so that it can be used in gigantic direct blend trees, but they're treated as bools by VRChat

naive pawn
#

wait how does that work for ints

#

theyr'e exposed as int32s, right?

#

but float32 doesn't work for higher values of int32

#

float32:max_safe_int is lower than int32:max_value

Alright guys I haven't touched Unity in 5 years but I did learn C++, I got a 2D platform, and IDK how to use something like blender, how can I make a little sprite guy with some movement to get a game started?

any programs for making sprites?
how do I access game data like sprites in C#?

{
    rb.velocity = Vector2.zero;
    position *= speedMult;
    rb.velocity += position;
} ```

i have this impulse script that is supposed to toss a ball towards the mouse position.

```mousePos = Input.mousePosition;
mousePos = Camera.main.ScreenToWorldPoint(mousePos);
position = (mousePos - transform.position);```

all pretty basic stuff, but theres one thing i dont understand, if i put the mouse in a relaively far position above the ball, the ball will be tossed up to about 90% of the way to the mouse... if i put the mouse closer above the ball it will only travel about 30% of the distance to the mouse... shouldnt the relative distance traveled always be the same? since i just calculate a vector?
#

this feels like a mathbook question lol

#

Also if thats just the default, is there a way to make the ball be tossed a fixed relative distance? like always 70 percent of the distance to the mouse?

Watching Brackeys tutorials to learn Unity, obviously they are quite old, so when he's talking about character movement, I hover over the code in VS Studio and it says "Interface into the **Legacy **Input system."

Not really, just interesting that it's legacy, you know, because the tutorial is from 6 years ago

Yeah. Things change fast in tech.

hi y'all, very basic question, I need to get the time but with millisecond accuracy to run some loops. How can I access this ?

teal viper
spark sinew
#

Thanks. Do I need to add some libraries on top like "with something" ?

#

I am not sure how the things with the with field are called

#

sorry the "using"

fleet surge
#

no it's a unity built in thing

spark sinew
#

ok thanks

teal viper
fleet surge
# spark sinew ok thanks

Unless you deleted it, this should be default in all ur scripts im pretty sure, and it includes Time

image.png
spark sinew
#

ok thanks

#

thanks, and now for all linear algebra operations like matrix rotation, multiplication, inverse, singular value decomposition etc is there a library that we can use ?

teal viper
#

Depends on what exactly you need and trying to achieve.

#

There's a Mathf class in unity that implements some math operations.

spark sinew
#

thanks! I am trying to estimate a rotation matrix M from data, and I need to do decompose it into U Sigma V (svd) so I can get thet the U*V that I need ( to ensure that the result is a rotation matrix). I will check in Mathf

teal viper
#

But maybe there's a simpler way. Can you not explain what you need it for?

spark sinew
#

right, but I cannot do this here, it is in order to use an external frame of reference (from a Optitrack system), so I need to compare the points generated by that system and the coordinates of the headset so they can agree on a common system of coordinates

#

the issue being that the X and Z axes of the headset are arbitrary, and the origins are not the same for both frame. It is a relatively simple least squares problem so I just need matrix multiplication, inverse, and in order for the estimated matrix to be unitary I need to do svd on it, it could work without but I think it will be more accurate with that

#

the rotation matrix is between these two frames of reference

#

I know how to do it on python or matlab but this is the first time I use C# and unity

teal viper
#

If you can do it in math, you can probably code it from scratch in any language.

#

Basic math operations are part of the basics.

spark sinew
#

right. I will try this

#

it is just that python and matlab have build in functions for svd, but if we can do multiplication and transpose already I think it is a good step

surreal zephyr
#

Im new to using c# and I was wondering how to I make a game object kinda leap forward at the start and just keep going after that?

teal viper
surreal zephyr
spark sinew
#

I was looking at the documentation, it seems that in the Unity.Mathematics/src/Unity.Mathematics

/svd.cs there is one thing that should work: [MethodImpl(MethodImplOptions.AggressiveInlining)]
public static quaternion svdRotation(float3x3 a)
{
singularValuesDecomposition(a, out var u, out var v);
return math.mul(u, math.conjugate(v));
}
}

#

so to access it I guess I should type Mathematics.svd.svdRotation(Matrix) ?

#

scratch that it's not what I need. I will keep trying

or should i make a monobehavior Timer, without using a TimerManager

eternal needle
# echo sand or should i make a monobehavior Timer, without using a TimerManager

each timer definitely shouldnt be its own monobehaviour, but i also am not sure that TimerManager needs to be one either.
if this suits your use case then its not a bad way. i just dont exactly see what you'll be doing with these timers. i assume when the timer is returned you're subscribing to some delegate to be notified of when its done.

Facing this weird error in Unity 6 while using new input system. Never faced this in earlier versions of unity. Please help. Following is my script:
https://hastebin.com/share/obukacecop.csharp


public class Movement : MonoBehaviour
{
    // Start is called once before the first execution of Update after the MonoBehaviour is created

    private PlayerControls playerControls;

        playerControls.PlayerActions.Move.performed += Move_performed;
        
    }

    private void Move_performed(UnityEngine.InputSystem.InputAction.CallbackContext obj)
    {

    }

  
    public Vector2 GetMovementVectorNormalized()

You've never initialized it

naive pawn
#

PlayerControls playerControls = new PlayerControls();
this is a variable declaration. you're doing PlayerControls playerControls twice. you have 2 separate variables. you only initialized one, the local variable that the rest of the script doesn't see

#

instead of creating that extra variable, assign to the existing field

ivory bobcat
#

What you're looking at in Awake isn't the same as the class' member

remove the PlayerControls in the declaration in Awake to turn it from a declaration into an assignment.

We'd need to see line 10 where you're trying to use some member named useEvent - the code shown doesn't seem to represent the error.

are you missing a using directive?

#

'Interactable' does not contain a definition for 'useEvents' and no accessible extension method 'useEvents' accepting a first argument of type 'Interactable' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

Either make sure interactable has that member or don't use that member. You may be referring to a different interactable if you believe it does have said member.

tough tartan
#

What foes this mean

naive pawn
#

or is Interactable your own class?

It means you didn't write/design your code and need to show or explain where/how you got it.

Hi, I have this so:

namespace Scenes.Snowstorm
{
    [CreateAssetMenu(fileName = "SnowstormConfigData", menuName = "Config/SnowstormConfigData")]
    public class SnowstormConfigData : ConfigData {}
}

How can I create an instance of it in the editor via c#?
I tried doing this:

//sceneName is set to Snowstorm when executing the thing
var className = $"Scenes.{sceneName}.{sceneName}ConfigData";
var classType = Type.GetType(className);
var so = CreateInstance(classType);
var soPath = Path.Combine(sceneDir, $"{sceneName}ConfigData.asset");
AssetDatabase.CreateAsset(so, soPath);
AssetDatabase.SaveAssets();
AssetDatabase.Refresh();

Also tried this var so = CreateInstance($"Scenes.{sceneName}.{sceneName}ConfigData"); and this var so = CreateInstance($"{sceneName}ConfigData"); and not a single approach worked.
I would really appreciate someone's help cuz I'm lost :/

#

Forgot to mention in the original message, ConfigData class inherits from so and this does appear in the create menu and works fine when manually created.

   if (horizontalInput != 0)
        {
            rb.velocity = new Vector2(horizontalInput * characterSpeed, rb.velocity.y);
            Debug.Log($"Moving {(horizontalInput > 0 ? "Right" : "Left")}");
        }
        else
        {
            Idle();
        }```
one improvement I can suggest is just using a single variable for ur Horizontal movement..
#

no need for soo many if/else statements.. esp since one of em basically just cancels each other out..
if u use horizontalInput with Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal"); <-- then
horizontalInput is either gonna be -1, 0, or 1
then u can just multiply that by ur speed..

it'll automatically go left.. and go right

thanks for the help

rocky canyon

or where are u stuck..

humble forum
#

tile selector basically needs to do it needs to copy the position and bind to the button so it can replace the tile

wierd tho worked fine when i didn't move them into functions maybe i forgot to save ;/

#

if u put a physics2d material on ur collider w/ zero or low friction u can get by with using smaller values

humble forum
#

so if i press one of these i want the too spawn on the wood i touched

rocky canyon
#

can u already select the tile and its position and everything?

#

is it finding out and assigning what "type" of house is where ur having trouble?

humble forum
rocky canyon
#

ahh okay 👍 just trying to figure out the exact issue

humble forum
rocky canyon
#

yea, i was just confirming the specific problem as at first the question was a bit broad

#

the easiest way imo would be to have an array of prefabs..
[SerializeField] private GameObject[] housePrefabs; // Array of house prefabs to spawn
^ could have (1) prefab for each house type..

then to spawn it or select it it'd just be
housePrefabs[0], [1], or [2] for example..

#

for determining which house u select i guess a ScriptableObject could work

# 
public class TileData : ScriptableObject
{
    public TileBase tile;
    public GameObject housePrefab; // Associated house prefab
}``` like this..
#

if u did Scriptable objects u wouldnt even need a list.. (u'd just have a different prefab for each house)

humble forum
#

because i already know the location

rocky canyon
#

i suck at tilemaps.. im reading some stuff myself to figure out what the best approach would be

i think whats happening is the script doesn't know what exactly is ground and what is not

so you might have to make a method to make sure its grounded

Why does Unity assume that when I specify a color, I want the alpha to be zero? That is so counterintuitive there must be a good reason for it.

swift crag
#

Color is a struct, so you can't have field initializers (in the version of C# Unity is using, at least)

polar acorn
#

Because 0 is the default value for a float

pliant abyss
swift crag
#

Color.blue does not give you a color with an alpha of zero

Or does that only modify the RGB?

Extra safeguard to force Rigidbody's velocity in case of erratic behavior
huh?

rocky canyon
#

1 in update and 1 in fixed

verbal heron
#

it removes vertical movement

rocky canyon
#

have u debugged ur velocity value and watched it?

#

its ur Y velocity variable wherest lies the problem

verbal heron
#

yeah but chatgpt added that after i asked him.....

rocky canyon
#

and how ur managing ur rb.velocity directly

verbal heron
#

can you fix it maby?

#

if you know how

rocky canyon
#

i could.. but that doesn't help you at all

rich adder
rocky canyon
#

first advice would be to stop trusting chatgpt

verbal heron
#

yeah.....

rocky canyon
#

i wont be all anal and say Dont use it..

#

but dont trust it

verbal heron
#

ok

rich adder
#

at very least you should know what the hell you're copying and why. Its still wont help you fix it if its broken

rocky canyon
#

it gets confused very simply when encountering someone thats learning

verbal heron
#

yeah

rocky canyon
#
  • its a yes, man.. it'll str8 up change its response just b/c u asked it too.. (even if by accident)
#

soo.. why do u have two rigidbody functions?

verbal heron
#

he added that aswell...

rich adder
#

anyway the y velocity would only be set to 0 before doing a jump, so if anything it should go in the Jump function

rocky canyon
#

and u know u shouldnt typically messs w/ rigidbodies in the Update() loop

#

u know the difference in the two right? the Update vs the FixedUpdate

verbal heron
#

not acutaly

#

i asked fix and he add stuff

rocky canyon
#

yea, he's too far gone already

rich adder
#

why are you here if GPT can fix it for you

verbal heron
#

he cant

rocky canyon
#

time to scratch that conversation.. (and this is why ai == bad)

rich adder
#

then stop using it

verbal heron
#

i am

rocky canyon
#

all that time wasted

verbal heron
#

yessir

rocky canyon
#

do u know what ur code is doing?

verbal heron
#

a lil bit

rocky canyon
#

i suggest if u want the fast and easy way... thats marginally better than chatgpt.. is start working from a good video tutorial

verbal heron
#

it conrtolss the players movement, jumping and the speed and jump hight

@verbal heron the rb already has gravity..

the velocity code u have conflicts w/ that.. + u do it again in fixedupdate

I highly recommend learning how to create a profile in VSCode specifically for Unity.

flat sphinx
#

two questions
first, how do i do global scope

rocky canyon
#

Update -> every frame
FixedUpdate -> every X frames (locked for physics)

wintry quarry
flat sphinx

# verbal heron ``` cs using UnityEngine; [RequireComponent(typeof(Rigidbody))] public class Pl...

Update is for Input and logic, and Fixed is for physics.. u can assign the velocity every update and fixedupdate will use whichever value it has when it runs.. but u shouldn't do this more than necessary.. and a lot of the times you can use functions like rb.AddForce() to let Unity do its own thing w/ the velocities.. but if ur gonna modify them yourself i would do it as little as possible.. and know when and how to.. b/c if for example you add force and then call rb.velocity = blabla.. ur gonna overwrite it immediately..

flat sphinx
rocky canyon
#

rb.velocity = new Vector3(moveDirection.x, rb.velocity.y, moveDirection.z); doing something like this can be paired w/ AddForce if ur Force is on the Y b/c if u notice the new Vector3... ur changing the x, and the z

#

but we pass in the rigidbodies own velocity into the y

# 
    void Update()
    {
        Move();

        if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Space) && isGrounded)
            Jump();
    }

    void Move()
    {
        float moveX = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal");
        float moveZ = Input.GetAxis("Vertical");

        Vector3 moveDirection = new Vector3(moveX, 0, moveZ).normalized * moveSpeed;
        rb.velocity = new Vector3(moveDirection.x, rb.velocity.y, moveDirection.z);
    }

    void Jump()
    {
        rb.velocity = new Vector3(rb.velocity.x, jumpForce, rb.velocity.z);
    }```
i wonder what this would do in ur project 🥄
rich adder
#

split the inputs to their own method like Input() keep it in update, move Move() to FixedUpdate

rocky canyon
#

for jump ud probably still wanna cancel gravity as mentioned cs void Jump() { rb.velocity = new Vector3(rb.velocity.x, 0, rb.velocity.z); rb.velocity += Vector3.up * jumpForce; }

verbal heron
#

alr

i js dont wanna waste my time learning things i already have

coarse shore
rich adder
#

most of the essentials like configure editor you did already so no worry, just check out where eevrything is in the editor

rich adder
#

there are ways to programmatically access the children but its not very precise / inefficient

flat sphinx
#

pain

#

public class StupidBoardHolder it is then

rich adder
#

if you have components its easy to store them in arrays

#

Gameobject / Transform works too but its pretty useless most of the time

rich adder
flat sphinx
#

why the access modifiers

swift crag
flat sphinx
#

and.. i guess why is it inheriting from monobehaviour

swift crag
#

this sounds more like what you do in Unreal

flat sphinx
swift crag
#

in Unity, you don't subclass GameObject or otherwise create more "specific" kinds of game objects

rich adder
swift crag
#

you just attach components to game objects

flat sphinx
coarse shore
#

yk how if u press space or enter, the suggested keyword would replace the word ur typing, how do u avoid that?

swift crag
flat sphinx
#

i mean i was just gonna shove it into a StupidGlobalsClass.all_boards

#

and leave it as

rich adder
#

or turn off the setting (i forgot where it is on VSCode)

flat sphinx
#

anyways third question, is there a way to make/get "model groups" from a blender model
stupid wording but what i mean is, i want to make my game map in blender instead of playing lego with cube objects

swift crag
#

you can import a model that contains many small objects in it

coarse shore
flat sphinx
#

but in said map i need to f.e treat borders differently than the floor

coarse shore
flat sphinx
#

so how/can do i do that without just importing multiple models and stitching them together

rich adder
#

why not proto with ProBuilder, its similiar to blender for basic needs like grayboxing

#

i know 0 of blender sorry blushie

flat sphinx
#

can try

#

i only knew of blender so yknow

#

lol

swift crag
#

Building the entire level directly in Blender sounds awkward for a couple of reasons

flat sphinx
#

ama check rq if it runs on manjaro

swift crag
#

If you use the same floor piece 1,000 times, you'll get 1,000 copies of that mesh when you import it into Unity

#

Probuilder is part of Unity.

flat sphinx
#

oh

#

neat

swift crag
#

in Unity, you can make a prefab that has a model and some components to give it functionality

#

then scatter that prefab around your level as needed

flat sphinx
swift crag
#

You'd need to either manually attach components to all of these Blender-imported objects, or write editor code to automatically do this

flat sphinx
#

main appeal was actual control over the model

swift crag
#

i mean, you can still make models in Blender

#

you just don't want to build the entire level into one giant FBX

flat sphinx
#

cuz again, stitching cubes is a mental pain

#

oh yeah btw am i just unable to access consts from outside the class

swift crag
#

const-ness has nothing to do with accessibility

flat sphinx
#

you say that but if i remove the const modifier from my public const int AIM_LOCK_AIMING = (1<<0) it just works

swift crag
#

show the relevant code

flat sphinx
#

yeah hol lon lemme boot discord on the thing

swift crag
#

ooh, right -- I forgot about that behavior of const

flat sphinx
#

lemme check if throwing static at it will fix it

swift crag
#

it also makes the member static

flat sphinx
#

nop

#

it didnt

swift crag
#

as the error suggests, access it from the type itself

#

not from an instance of the type

languid spire
#

read the message. Use the type name

flat sphinx
#

oh yeah

#

so much for no-sleep coding

#

also sucky behaviour but k

languid spire
#

standard C. const belongs to the class not an instance of it

flat sphinx
swift crag
#

there is no point to accessing it from an instance, yes

I have 2 objects in unity that are clickable with the OnMouseDown() function in unity, and one of the objects apears on top of the other. However, the hitbox for the first object covers over the one for the second, making it unclickable, this isnt helped by the fact that object 2 is a child of object 1, but im trying to figure out a way to make them both clickable at once

flat sphinx
#

how do i animate an object without giving it full on physics
am trying to do a cool "yeet the map offscreen on finish" animation and giving the floor rigidbody feels wrong

#

specifically i want it to accelerate along the y axis

#

asking here since i assume there's already an inbuilt for this

rich adder
#

tweening or something like that

rich adder
languid spire
rich adder
#

you need Physics Raycaster on camera for event system to work on colliders *

swift crag
#

adding an increasing amount to your Y position every frame would do the trick

flat sphinx
#

or hell even transform a to transform b

swift crag
#

libraries like DOTween will let you do this easily

languid spire
#

yep, as mentioned Tweening

flat sphinx
#

aig ama look that up

#

worst case scenario ill bootleg some custom interpolation shit

#

im pretty sure in vfx you just lerp along a curve

tweening just uses interpolation

hey mates, sorry, I'm ashamed to ask, but how do I get the ref to a script?
case: I have a playercontroller, which has an action (basically doDamage())

if(Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Space)) {
  Attack();
  GameObject enemy = GameObject.Find("Enemy").GetComponent(typeof(EnemyController));
}

My Enemy GameObject has a public field "health". All i really wanna do is set health -= 1
I tried accessing with via GetComponent<EnemyController>() but that also didn't work.

#

you can query for a path and then check how long it is

languid spire
swift crag
#

You'll have to get the list of corners from the path and then compute the distance between each pair

languid spire
#

if you have many objects you probably dont want to do all of that in one frame

swift crag
#

You could make the process more efficient by sorting the objects by distance and then giving up once your best path is shorter than any of the remaining distances.

Hey! So having a quick issue. I haven't worked a lot with Vectors, and one of my issues right now is when I hover over my game object, it just...floats until I get off it. What I want it to do is move the X coordinate up 10, then when my mouse goes off it returns (I have a method for that which Ill add.)
Currently heres the code:

    public void HandleHoverState()
    {
        glowEffect.SetActive(true);
        rectTransform.localScale = originalScale * selectScale;
        rectTransform.localPosition = Vector3.up + rectTransform.localPosition;
        Debug.Log($"HandleHoverState");
    }

Any ideas?

#

how do i generate a random number between -10 and 10, but have it be weighted like a bell curve

image.png
swift crag
#

Sounds like you want a Gaussian distribution!

#

(with a bit of truncation)

#

It'll need a little adjustment to clamp the number between -10 and 10

#

This gives a 98.7% chance of picking a random number between -10 and 10

image.png
#

mean is 0, standard deviation is 4

swift crag
#

0 would be infinitely far left, and 1 would be infinitely far right

#

0.5 is the center of the curve

#

so in this case, I think you'd just need to do this!

float prob = 0.9876; // got that from the website
float margin = (1 - prob) / 2;
float sample = Random.Range(margin, 1 - margin);
return PeterAcklamInverseCDF.NormInv(sample, 0, 4);

It'll pick a random number that's not too close to 0 or 1 -- so that we stay in bounds -- and then computes the resulting value from the normal distribution

final trellis
#

thats a lot more code than i thought jeez

#

thank youu i was NOT gonna figure that out myself 😭

swift crag
#

I've also used libraries for random sampling

#

The name escapes me at the moment..

swift crag
#

The mean is the center of the curve, and the standard deviation is how wide it is

#

the default values of 0 and 1 would've given you numbers much closer to zero

Layers don't really matter with UI

you have a tilemap collider on it, no?

because the green outline is the collider and theres space

hey guys :) So I have a working system where when my player get close to an interactable object, a white line is applied around it
https://paste.ofcode.org/5mAXkP3MEfuu8LNQDKxzKY (<--- the script for that)

Now, I'm trying to add a system that will display unique dialogue depending on which object is interacted with (upon it being highlighted and pressing E)

I have an IInteractable script that simply reads

{
    void Interact(); 
}```

and an "InteractableObject" script that reads
```public class InteractableObject : MonoBehaviour, IInteractable
{
    public void Interact()
    {
        Debug.Log($"Interacted with {gameObject.name}");
    }
}```


I have the "InteractableObject" script applied to every interactable, and upon entering within range, it plays the debug log without any input. 
Could anyone advise me the way I could Implement this "E to read a script" idea? I'm pretty knew and had help with the InteractableHighlighter :)
#

Ive tried watching video tutorials for this, but since my game is 2d and I already have a way to detect the closest object, I end up having to modify their code and it doesnt work anymore pensive

alpine fjord
#

For example, use vector2 instead of vector3.

bright sequoia
#

I'll try this one, thank you : )

And collider2d instead of collider.

I implemented the same system in a 2d game. So I can confirm the video does work.

How to make a smooth jump in 3D
(Sorry for my bad english its not my first language)

Hi im currently making a 3D platformer. Im working on the player jump but I just dont get a smooth jump. I tried looking for tutorials on youtube but every video is ether for 2D or for the CharacterController. But I need to use a Rigidbody for my use case. I want to make something like a mario jump.

For my jump im currently using:

rigidbody.AddForce(new Vector3(0f, jumpForce, 0f), ForceMode.Impulse);

But this is to snappy. It looks more like the player is teleported to the top and then glides down.

timber tide
jaunty junco
#

Like this? @timber tide

image.png
#

I tried that but now my player doesent jump at all.

#

jumpForce is set to 130f

ripe shard
steep rose
#

Addforce works fine for jumping, just makes sure nothing is overriding your Rigidbody's Y velocity

jaunty junco
#

Yeah but I want the jump to be more like a curve. With AddForce its more like the player is teleported

ripe shard
jaunty junco
ripe shard
#

your drag is way too high

steep rose
#

default drag value is 1, so best keep it like that

jaunty junco
#

I set it to 0 but the player still doesent move

ripe shard
#

well, then something you aren't showing is overriding what you do to the rigidbody

jaunty junco
#

My jump function:

private void Jump(InputAction.CallbackContext ctx)
{
    Debug.Log("JUMP - Ground Check");
    if (!IsGrounded()) return;

    Debug.Log("JUMP");
    //this._rigidbody.AddForce(new Vector3(0f, this._jumpForce, 0f), ForceMode.Impulse);
    Vector3 velocity = this._rigidbody.linearVelocity;
    velocity.y += this._jumpForce;
    this._rigidbody.linearVelocity.Set(velocity.x, velocity.y, velocity.z);
}
ripe shard
#

you should probably share all the code that acts on the player object

#

and stick to AddForce for now

#

you are overriding rigidbody veloctiy in each update (_currentMovement) and jump does not write to that variable

#

you need to add your jump to _currentMovement like you do in SideMovement

jaunty junco
#

Updated Jump function:

private void Jump(InputAction.CallbackContext ctx)
{
    Debug.Log("JUMP - Ground Check");
    if (!IsGrounded()) return;

    Debug.Log("JUMP");
    //this._rigidbody.AddForce(new Vector3(0f, this._jumpForce, 0f), ForceMode.Impulse);
    this._currentMovement.y = this._rigidbody.linearVelocity.y + this._jumpForce;
}
#

Now the player jumps but just keeps going up.

steep rose
#

well yes, you are setting the Rigidbody's Y velocity to linearvelocity + jumpforce which will set its Y velocity to whatever you set it to, you should probably stick to Addforce and not overwrite your rigidbody's Y velocity

jaunty junco
#

But how would I get a jump that is smoothe. With addforce the only thing I get is more like a teleport.

steep rose
#

do not overwrite it's Y velocity and put that drag variable on the RB itself to 1

jaunty junco
#

Ok but now its like a teleport

#

Or what type of Forcemode should I use?

#

Right now im using Impulse

steep rose
#

Impulse is fine, show me your new !code using one of the paste sites

eternal falconBOT
jaunty junco
steep rose
#

you are still overwriting the rigidbody's Y velocity this._currentMovement.y instead use _rigidbody.velocity.y

ahh now its smoothe thank you very much ^^

I am a bit new to Unity and I'm having a few issues with a classlib I built. I first am having trouble finding the main entry point to add some hosted and transient services or and similar for each scene. I also am not finding the window for adding a reference to a NuGet package in my local NuGet feed

#

the nuget option is also greyed out in vs2022

There's a specific plugin for NuGet if you want to use it with Unity

# teal viper You'll need to adjust the gravity vector dynamically.

Hey sorry for the late reply, i think i understand that part, but what would you do to solve charp corners or rounded parts? I have my player rotate towards the normal of a down raycast and make the gravity vector the normal, but how do i detect to go around a corner, etc?

signal mango
teal viper
# open vine Hey sorry for the late reply, i think i understand that part, but what would you...

Well, that's a design problem. How do you want it to be handled?
In the first place, do you want it to be possible to change gravity on sharp corners?
If yes, then maybe lerp between the old and the new normal over time.
if you were to do sphere casts(potentially several, both right below and a little bit towards a position in front of the character), you could detect a "wall" in front and get it's normal.

burnt vapor
# odd edge why does this not work

It is not possible to update a struct directly. You must either make a copy of the struct, change that, and replace the existing struct, or you use existing methods in the struct so it modifies itself, if applicable.

#

Unlike classes which can be modified directly

#

Something something value types and them being copies

Log a message, see if it's truly null, then come back

#

Note that the player prefs has a default value of "", so if it truly returns null then that means that something has explicitly set SelectedCharacter to be null and so it does not use the default value

#

However, once again I don't see any code that sets this value so I would not know what it does

Trying to make some sort of bouncing ray, as you can see it works here, but when I move the blocks slightly, it goes in the wrong direction

for (int i = 0; i < 360; i+=10)
        {
            var _x = Mathf.Cos(i * Mathf.Deg2Rad);
            var _y = Mathf.Sin(i * Mathf.Deg2Rad);
            var pos = new Vector2(_x, _y);
            var hit = Physics2D.Raycast(transform.position, pos, 10);
            Debug.DrawRay(transform.position, 

pos*10f, Color.green);

            if (hit)
            {
                var hitPos = hit.point;
                var newDirection = Vector2.Reflect(pos, hit.normal);
                var hit2 = Physics2D.Raycast(hitPos, newDirection, 8);
                Debug.DrawRay(hitPos, newDirection * 8f, Color.blue);

                if (hit2)
                {
                    var hitPos2 = hit2.point;
                    var newDirection2 = Vector2.Reflect(newDirection, hit2.normal);
                    var hit3 = Physics2D.Raycast(hitPos2, newDirection2, 6);
                    Debug.DrawRay(hitPos2, newDirection2 * 6f, Color.red);

                    if (hit3)
                    {
                        var hitPos3 = hit3.point;
                        var newDirection3 = Vector2.Reflect(newDirection2, hit3.normal);
                        var hit4 = Physics2D.Raycast(hitPos3, newDirection3, 5);
                        Debug.DrawRay(hitPos3, newDirection3 * 5f, Color.cyan);
                    }

I'm sure my code is super bad but I can't figure out why this happens'

swift crag
#

I wonder if the red line is starting from inside of the block and then instantly hitting it

#

The Debug.DrawRay lines you're drawing do not depend on how far the raycast actually traveled

#

Also, to reduce code duplication, consider doing something like this!

sharp bloom
#

I want the lines to be visible in play mode after all

swift crag
#

Nah, you just need to change how you use it (or use DrawLine!)

# 
var _x = Mathf.Cos(i * Mathf.Deg2Rad);
var _y = Mathf.Sin(i * Mathf.Deg2Rad);
Vector3 pos = transform.position;
Vector3 dir = new Vector2(_x, _y);
float rayLength = 10;

for (int try = 0; try < 10; ++try) {
  float hue = try / 10f;
  Color color = Color.HSVToRGB(hue, 1, 1);

  var hit = Physics2D.Raycast(pos, dir, rayLength);

  if (hit) {
    Debug.DrawLine(pos, hit.point, 3f, color);
    pos = hit.point;
    dir = Vector2.Reflect(dir, hit.normal);
  } else {
    Debug.DrawRay(pos, dir * rayLength, 3f, color);
    break;
  }
}
#

Something like that

#

I renamed "pos" to "dir" because that's what it actually represents

sharp bloom
#

Yea that's much cleaner xd

swift crag
#

HSVToRGB is useful for creating a range of colors

swift crag
sharp bloom
#

This is for a demo thingy that is supposed to visualize sound

swift crag
# 
Physics2D.Raycast(pos + dir * 0.01f, dir, rayLength);
#

e.g.

sharp bloom
#

I know it

#

it's a simplification

#

Since sound actually doesn't reflect speculary

#

Unless it's a extremely smooth surface

swift crag
#

i wonder if it winds up being a BSDF

#

just like light

#

bad thought! bad thought! bad thought!

sharp bloom
#

Yea my professor talked about that

#

He specializes in video game audio actually

swift crag
#

Neat!

#

I've been fussing around with implementing my own spatial audio system (Steam Audio doesn't work on ARM hardware...)

#

I've only really done occlusion (in straight lines) and using a nav mesh to figure out the ratio between:

  • the straight line distance
  • the shortest path to the listener
#

I need a 3D navmesh system for this notlikethis

sharp bloom
#

Haaugh

this is closer than I thought

sharp bloom
#

Thanks

swift crag
#

Oops, I got the arguments backwards

#

start, end, color, duration

verbal dome
#

I'll probably implement portal based occlusion since my interiors are procedural so I already have portals and simple wall geometry

#

For exteriors I need to think of something else 🤔

I was watching a GDC talk about 3D pathfinding in Warframe

In theory it's not that bad, and I don't need to bother with things like obstacle avoidance

stuck palm
#

does anyone know how to deal with scenes? I know basic stuff such as scenemanager.setactive or whatever but i want to minimize loading time. I'm using quantum, which uses additive scene loading.

swift crag
#

that's a bit vague :p

stuck palm
#

i see a lot of unity made games with super quick scene loading, for my game genre (fighter) at least

#

do they load it all at the start or something?

swift crag
#

You can use LoadSceneAsync to read the data from disk in the background, but scene activation will still have a cost

stuck palm
#

will that become very costly?

#

if theyre deactiveated

verbal dome
#

I havent used addressables yet but those can probably be used to manage what is loaded and when

swift crag
#

SetActiveScene is not used to "turn a scene on"

runic lance
#

yes, most likely lazy loading is the answer here

#

not loading at all once

swift crag
#

A better name might be "main scene"

#

It's the scene that new objects go into, where lighting settings come from, etc.

stuck palm
swift crag
#

But this will not reduce the hitch caused by creating all of the objects

verbal dome
runic lance
#

depens on how far you want to go with addressables really, if you just want to load stuff it shouldn't be too much additional work besides changing some parts of the code to be async

verbal dome
#

I dislike how it adds the Addressable toggle on every asset though... Waste of screen space

runic lance
#

then later you can deal with sorting things into proper groups, reducing asset duplication, loading things remotely

swift crag
#

I haven't really used Addressables yet. I played with using it to easily load every asset of a certain type (without having to dig around in a Resources folder for them), but that was a bad idea

#

since I had no Addressables scenes and I wasn't using any addressable asset references, the objects I got from Addressables had nothing to do with the objects I was referencing from my scenes

#

(This only becomes apparent in the built game. In the editor, loading an Addressable asset just grabs it from the AssetDatabase)

runic lance
#

yeah, resources folder is also an option for lazy loading

#

although less robust than addressables

swift crag
#

I wound up making "catalog" objects that reference every object of a relevant type

#

I have not yet automated putting things in the catalogs. I should...do that...

stuck palm
swift crag
#

increasing the what now

stuck palm
#

someone showed me this

swift crag
#

This will allow the game's framerate to dip in exchange for faster reading of the scene data

#

Note that this won't do anything to the hitch that you get when a scene activates

#

That does look useful, though. I might switch that to "High" when the player hits Start

stuck palm
swift crag
#

At that point you could just load the scene synchronously

well, it's happening to them right now :p

like whenever i do smth in vs code and i save it, for the changes to be implimented onto unity, i have to close unity

You might have Unity set to only reload manually

hi y'all quick question how do I add two vectors? I get an error that + cannot be used between a Vector3 and something like (0,1,0)

#

if I have v as a Vector3, how do I do v+(0,1,0) ?

rich adder
#

you can certainly add 2 vectors, you just cant multiply them

languid spire
#

(0,1,0) is not a Vector3 it is a tuple.
new Vector3(0,1,1) is a vector3

rich adder
#

var tuple = (1,3,4)
var vector = new Vector3(1,3,4)

swift crag
#

A tuple is, essentially, several values glued together. They're useful...but irrelevant here

so i have this script that is supposed to scale my bullets while they travel but it doesnt really work

Hastebin

removing the Time.deltaTime is making it work but its scalling too much, and it just becomes huge instead of stopping at certain size

you know this entire for loop is going to run instantly right

The code after it will run after the entire loop

and you are doing all of this every single frame

I don't see the point of the loop at all
