    float scaleSpeed = 1f; // amount to scale per second
    float scaling = 1;

   // Update is called once per frame
    void Update()
    {
        scaling += Time.deltaTime * scaleSpeed;
        transform.localScale = Vector3.one * scaling;
    }```

And if you want it to stop at a certain size you would need to put something in to do that

[swift crag]

You might not wind up using a coroutine here, but this page explains what's wrong with your code https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.0/Documentation/Manual/coroutines.html

[wintry quarry]

e.g.

    float scaleSpeed = 1f; // amount to scale per second
    float scaling = 1;
    float maxScale = 4;

   // Update is called once per frame
    void Update()
    {
        scaling = Mathf.MoveTowards(scaling, maxScale, Time.deltaTime * scaleSpeed);
        transform.localScale = Vector3.one * scaling;
    }```

[frosty field]

wow okay thanks

it is working now

[wintry quarry]

Do you understand how it works

and why your old code didn't work

[frosty field]

yea.. i kinda forgot how update is also a loop and just making "scaling += scalespeed;" will make it work

i thought im gonna be smart or something when i use "for"

lol

[wintry quarry]

you could do it with a for loop but it would have to be in a coroutine because that's the only way you could get the loop to pause for one frame each iteration

[swift crag]

Unity doesn't run your code "at the same time" as the rest of the game

every frame, it goes through all of your components and calls Update on them, one by one

So slightly increasing the size 100 times is just like increasing it by a large amount once

All the matters is that, once Unity is done running Update methods, the localScale is bigger than it started

[tepid rover]

I want know all code C# for game 2d

[rich adder]

Check pin

[coarse shore]

how does the context menu part work in this ss

like when he goes and click "increase score", it increases it but idk how

bc it doesnt seem to be connected

to the procedure underneath

unless it is

[wintry quarry]

When he clicks the context menu item named "Increase Score" it runs that function

I'm not sure why you think it's not connected

[coarse shore]

i mean im new to using c# soo

i think its bc its not indented or its not on the same line as the procedure

[swift crag]

Ah, this is an attribute

[wintry quarry]

The attribute applies to the function it's attached to (i.e. it's written right before)

[swift crag]

You can attach attributes to various parts of your code -- classes, fields, methods, etc.

They're basically little name tags. They have no functionality on their own.

[coarse shore]

ohhhh

i see, tysm

[swift crag]

Unity looks for the ContextMenuAttribute on methods and creates a context menu item when it sees one (that's valid, at least)

Other common attributes are [SerializeField] (which goes on a field and tells Unity you want a non-public field to still be serialized) and [System.Serializable] (which goes on a class and tells Unity that the entire thing can be serialized, so it'll be saved/loaded and shown in the inspector)

Attributes are always attached to whatever "thing" comes next. The whitespace in-between doesn't matter

[coarse shore]

what is a field

[swift crag]

a field is a variable that's part of a class

public class Foo { 
  public int field;

  public int Property {
    get { return field; }
    set { field = value; }
  }

  public int Method() {
    return 456;
  }
}

[coarse shore]

imma js learn from the unity thingy atp befoee i start coding 😭

[swift crag]

It's handy to learn the vocabulary, but definitely don't just open the C# language reference and memorize it, ha!

[coarse shore]

i meant the junior course

[swift crag]

it's good to wonder how the [ContextMenu] has anything to do with the method!

[coarse shore]

i need to learn from scratch

[swift crag]

I originally thought the name was important

like, that it had to be done like this

[ContextMenu("TheMethod")]
public void TheMethod() {

}

[coarse shore]

yeah i wouldve assume that too

what does the "[ ]" do exactly

so yk how ' and " is for strings

[swift crag]

That's how you put an attribute in your code

[coarse shore]

i see

[wintry quarry]

[] means different things in different contexts but in this case it is just the syntax for attributes.

[swift crag]

Here's a class with two attributes on it with a lot of parameters

[hybrid gust]

I'm finding rect transforms incredibly unintuitive. If I just want the Y pos of a rect, how do I do it?

getting rect.y is wrong

[swift crag]

the local position? the world position?

[wintry quarry]

YOu would have to be more specific about what you mean by "y pos"

[hybrid gust]

local

[swift crag]

.localPosition is what you want, then

[wintry quarry]

There's at least:

• world position
• local position
• Canvas space sizeDelta
• anchored position

[swift crag]

that's where the Transform actually is

[wintry quarry]

You most likely want anchoredPosition I think

[coarse shore]

i am NOT gonna try to understand that 😭

[coarse shore]

ty

[swift crag]

It is definietly a little tricky to figure out at first.

[hybrid gust]

whats the difference between anchored and local?

[swift crag]

I still can't confidently tell people exactly what to use

I do very little with RectTransforms! I let the auto layout system do everything (:

[wintry quarry]

anchored is the difference in canvas-space coordinates from the anchor.

[hybrid gust]

making a stardw valley esque fishing mini game

Gotcha

[hybrid gust]

Is there a singluar doc that covers rect transforms and the differences?

Cause atp I need to bookmark it

and then.. what is rect.y?

[wintry quarry]

Start with https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.ugui@1.0/manual/UIBasicLayout.html

[wintry quarry]

the y position of the rect

[hybrid gust]

but that ISN'T local?

[wintry quarry]

A rect has no intrinsic meaning. it depends on the context. It's like Vector3

[hybrid gust]

oooh

thats..

ok

[wintry quarry]

A Vector3 could mean a position in local space, or a world space position, or it could be a set of euler rotation angles.

There's no intrinsic meaning without context.

[swift crag]

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/RectTransform-rect.html

This rectangle is in the transform's local space, though

So the y value tells how far the center of the rectangle has been moved relative to the RectTransform's origin

[swift crag]

If you want to move an indicator along a line, I would change its localPosition

[hybrid gust]

😕 see I THOUGHT it was the Y in the RectTransform component's Y.

[swift crag]

You could add two dummy objects to mark the two ends

[hybrid gust]

but for that I need localPosition?

[swift crag]

localPosition is the exact position you see in the inspector (when the RectTransform isn't configured to stretch to fill the space of its parent)

[hybrid gust]

Roger

Well thank you all

[swift crag]

I'd give the UI docs a read. They're pretty helpful!

They also teach you about auto layout. Learning how to use that will make your UIs way more reliable

[hybrid gust]

like the layout groups?

oh nvm i see

[swift crag]

Yeah.

I've had to show quite a few people how to use it properly. Part of the problem is that none of the default settings make any sense for auto layout

Layout groups are set to not control child size. All of the default objects (e.g. Button) don't ask for any space, so they shrink down to tiny 0 pixel wide blobs

[hybrid gust]

I usually trial and error the auto layout stuff atp lol

[frosty field]

i dont understand, why isnt that adding up score?
https://hatebin.com/bsnmbckguk

[wintry quarry]

Because you're destroying the object?

it's adding 1 to score

and then the object is destroyed

so it doesn't matter

[hybrid gust]

Does it even add the 1 since its destoryed beforehand?

[wintry quarry]

Each individual instance of this script has its own score

[wintry quarry]

yes

the code will run to completion unless there's an exception.
And Destroy doesn't actually happen until end of frame anyway

[hybrid gust]

the more you know

[frosty field]

alright but when i put score on top it doesnt work anyway so how to make it count since its getting removed?

add one more ontriggerenter?

[wintry quarry]

what do you mean "put score on top"?

[wintry quarry]

It soudns like you didn't read anything I said

And you're not understanding this:

Each individual instance of this script has its own score

int score; on this scirpt means "each instance of the script has its own score variable"

You would want to track the score in one centralized place

like a singleton ScoreManager or GameManager script for example

[coarse shore]

does anyone know how to work with a friend on unity?

[wintry quarry]

Version control such as git or Unity Version Control

[coarse shore]

like im in their organisation

and i think im on their project

but i dont have the same thign as them

[wintry quarry]

Have you gone through https://learn.unity.com/project/getting-started-with-plastic-scm ?

[coarse shore]

nope, ill go through it now

[tawny edge]

How do i make my character frontflip when he jumps?

I know i should use some for of rotation but i don't know quite how to do it since the methods i used made the character rotate instantly within 1 frame.
Is there a method that makes a rigidbody rotate a specific amount in a axis with a specified amount of time?
Thi is my current project and my current code:

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using Unity.VisualScripting;
using UnityEngine;

public class PlayerController : MonoBehaviour
{
    public float speed = 10.0f;
    public float jumpForce = 50;
    public float gravityModifier = 1.5f ;
   
    public int jumpAmount = 2;
    public float rotationSpeed = 0.1f;
    private Rigidbody playerRb;


    // Start is called before the first frame update
    void Start()
    {
        playerRb = GetComponent<Rigidbody>();
        Physics.gravity *= gravityModifier;
        
    }

    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update()
    {
        Movement ();
        Jump ();
        
        
    }
    // Move player based on arrow key inputs
    void Movement()
    {
        float verticalInput = Input.GetAxis("Vertical");
        float horizontalInput = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal");

        playerRb.AddForce(Vector3.forward * speed * verticalInput);
        playerRb.AddForce(Vector3.right * speed * horizontalInput);
    }

    //Player jumps if spacebar is pressed
    void Jump()
    {
        if(Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Space) && jumpAmount > 0)
        {
            playerRb.AddForce(UnityEngine.Vector3.up *jumpForce ,ForceMode.Impulse);
            jumpAmount -= 1;
            //i want my character to front flip attempt


        }
    }
    // checks if the player collides with the ground and resets the jumpAmount
    private void OnCollisionEnter(Collision collision)
    {
        if(collision.gameObject.CompareTag("Ground"))
        {
            jumpAmount = 2;
        }
    }
    
    
}

[wintry quarry]

Almost certainly this would be done not by modifying the movement of the actual character but just with an animation on a purely visible child object

[rugged ferry]

a lot of people are saying this

[wintry quarry]

Is there any good reason you want or need the actual Rigidbody to flip? That's going to be a lot more complicated for very little tangible benefit

[hybrid gust]

esp if you smack something angled mid flip no?

[tawny edge]

No specific reason, purely for learning purposes.
For further context, i'm on the very beginings of creating a beatem up as part of my personal project that is instructed to do along with the Unity Learn programming course.
I developer challenged my to add a flip to my jump and i tried to do his challenge with what i learned so far but that has proven to be qquite difficult with what i know now.

[swift crag]

Making the entire physically-simulated object flip around is more complex than just making the player model flip over

[tawny edge]

ok, so wouuld you say that for my purposes of making a beatem up (think Fight'n'Rage, Streets of Rage 4), it wouuld be better iin the long term to do as you say and separate the physic of the player in a separate gameObject and add a child to that that would be used to display the animations???

Because if so, then how do i do the next step?

i can make a child of the object and uncheck the mesh renderer of the parent, but then i'd imagine id create a script in the child object to make it flip everytime i do a jump? Is that it?

[west radish]

Seems more logical to keep the rigidbody attached to the actual character

[tawny edge]

so, i have this now...
Player Visual is the child object.
How can i make it turn 360 degrees in a axis over a specified period of time?

[swift crag]

This would be a great place to use a coroutine

https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/coroutines.html

A coroutine lets you write a method that can stop and wait for a while (often one frame)

Have a look at that page. You'd just need to adjust the rotation of the player visual instead of changing the color of a renderer

(pro tip -- you can use Quaternion.AngleAxis for this)

transform.localRotation = Quaternion.AngleAxis(45, Vector3.forward);

This would give you a rotation of 45 degrees around the Z axis (the blue one)

[tawny edge]

im going to have to spend some time reading then because i completely forgot what a coroutine is.

[swift crag]

The very vague idea is that it's just a method that can stop and resume later

[rocky canyon]

it can do things like wait for end of frame wait x seconds etc

can run until a conditional is met, etc etc

[rocky canyon]

i agree w/ this..

• Root - rigidbody
  • Graphics
  • Colliders/Hitbox

all colliders beneath the rigidbody will all be included into a composite type collider (made from multiples)

[coarse shore]

does anyone have footage of someone collabing with someone else in unity. i js wanna see how it looks if its done successfully

[long jacinth]

everytime the ShowCountryStats function runs its supposed to delete all buttons in this list and add 2 buttons but it isnt deleting for some reason https://paste.ofcode.org/TceFXeR6itqvqdyBW24XaA

[slender nymph]

calling Destroy on an object in a list does not remove it from that list. it just destroys the object (which is done on the c++ side since c# doesn't really have the concept of "destroy). clear the list after you iterate through it and destroy the objects

[long jacinth]

do i clear it before or after destroying

[slender nymph]

clear the list after you iterate through it and destroy the objects

[long jacinth]

ok

[long jacinth]

so buildButtonDelete.Clear(); ?

foreach (GameObject buildButton in buildButtonDelete)
        { 
            Destroy(buildButton); 
        }

        buildButtonDelete.Clear();

This is what i did and same thing

[slender nymph]

did you save

because Clear literally clears the list

[long jacinth]

yes

[slender nymph]

then show what you are seeing because there is no way that old objects are still in the list after that line

[long jacinth]

when i click on a state

when i click on another

[pliant abyss]

When I invoke ScriptableObject.Instantiate in-game to make a clone of that obj, that only lives in memory, and gets deleted when I close the game. Is that correct?

void Start()
{
    ScriptableObject.Instantiate(AnotherScriptableObject obj);
}

[slender nymph]

and how have you confirmed that the code you've shown is what is responsible for that?

[rich adder]

also would check whats inside CopiedBuildingTypes when you add more buttons

[humble forum]

how can i get my cs files in git when i have quite some additions?

[rich adder]

anything Instantiate creates is runtime (in start at least). there is also CreateInstance but that also needs you to explicitly tell it to store in assetDatabase

[long jacinth]

it was normal when buildButtonDelete was an array

[slender nymph]

let me guess, the other list was also an array at that time?

[humble forum]

like how can i see the changes in my csharp files easily in suge a huge commit?

[slender nymph]

make smaller commits instead of just throwing everything in there

[long jacinth]

no

[slender nymph]

well, again, the buildButtonDelete list will only have the newly instantiated objects in it after that method runs

#💻┃code-beginner message

[pliant abyss]

Awesome, that's what I thought, but I wanted to make sure I wasn't generating a ton of files somewhere.

[long jacinth]

so when should and how should i debug it

[humble forum]

did it in the ide seems the easiest

only 100 lines of code mostly .meta files

[slender nymph]

okay, and you can still make smaller commits in your IDE. you are not required to throw everything you've ever changed into a single commit. make your commits actually meaningful so that related changes are together in the same commit instead of having over 12 thousand changes in the same commit

[humble forum]

mostly assets tho 🙂

don t wanna make a commit message for just assets

[swift crag]

"for just assets"?!

your game is made entirely out of assets!

give every change a clear commit message.

[rich adder]

code/scripts are assets too

[humble forum]

im used too ue5 where assets would crash the servers lol

[swift crag]

the existence of a commit message probably isn't what crashes your version control system..

if you're suggesting not putting assets in version control, then that's a great idea until you need to undo any change to an asset

at which point your project is bricked

You should be able to check out a commit and have a working project, with all of its assets present

[humble forum]

i use syncthing for that but yeah ue5 is expensive to version control assets as indie cuz the you need azure or another platform wich can become expensive when your project is 50gb

[swift crag]

oh dear

[humble forum]

will keep it in mind can t promise anything tho

[swift crag]

so your code is version controlled with Git

and your other assets aren't?

[humble forum]

yeah

[swift crag]

At that point, you might as well not be using Git at all. You can't go back to a specific commit and get a working project.

[humble forum]

i mean can get to working code and get s synced over 3 devices 🤷‍♂️

[long jacinth]

        { 
            Destroy(buildButton); 
        }
        
        buildButtonDelete.Clear();
        Debug.Log(CopiedBuildingTypes);```

the message i get

[swift crag]

the ToString method for a list does not show the contents of the list

you can iterate over the list and log each item if you want to see that

The default ToString just tells you the type of the object

[long jacinth]

so i do foreach(GameObject i in CopiedBuildingTypes)
{
Debug.Log(i);
}

[swift crag]

Seems fine to me

[long jacinth]

gives me 2 messages when i click the states

did the same thing for the buildbuttondelete and nothing happens

[zenith cypress]

Because it is empty

[slender nymph]

print what is contained in that list at the end of the method to see that it should only contain 2 objects

[long jacinth]

well than why doesnt it delete the buttons

ok

There are 2 objects

[zenith cypress]

Is it just one CityManager in the scene, or do you have one per city btw

[long jacinth]

One per city

Wait could that be the reason

[zenith cypress]

That is indeed the reason

Each has its own list

[sleek notch]

i need help. I don't know why but my code is not working. The 52 is the playerQue.paperQue[0]

[spark sinew]

quick question: how can we make multiple scripts? I have one script to calculate the coordinates and calibrate/print etc for the HUD, but I would like also to move a cube in function of some results of that script. can variables from a script be reused by another script ?

[sleek notch]

and the left picture is all what I had in console

[slender nymph]

it sounds like you want to learn how to reference other components. you can do so by reading this information: https://unity.huh.how/references

[sleek notch]

for no reason the numb won't be in console

[slender nymph]

make sure you aren't hiding errors or something

[sleek notch]

oh well I'm idiot but why is there error about index out of range when there are 2 objects

[slender nymph]

if 0 is out of range, then the list/array is entirely empty

show where you initialize it

[sleek notch]

it can't be

[slender nymph]

prove it

[sleek notch]

alr starting obs

Thanks, actually I am wondering, do I need to make two scripts? I just want to change the coordinates of a cube in function of the results of a script that is attached to a camera system. Do I need to create a script that I attach to the cube, and make the variables that I need in the first script global so they can be used by the second script? The issue is what is the order the scripts are run though? For example if the cube script is run first the variable may not even be created

[slender nymph]

it sounds like you don't really understand how c# works. so i'd recommend stopping whatever it is you are doing and go learn the basics. there are beginner c# courses pinned in this channel. then after you've learned the basics of the language, there is the junior programmer pathway on the unity !learn site that will teach you how to use the engine

[slender nymph]

oh god so much static . . .
and of course the one condition you are checking before trying to use the empty list is a public static variable which means any other object could be changing it

[swift crag]

well, and, notably

      if (isBuyed != 0)
        {
            
            playerQue.glueQue = 0;
            playerQue.paperQue.Clear();
        } else
        {
            isBuyed = 1;
        }

this empties the list up on line 211

[sleek notch]

oh well

but then why it is working?

I'll show video trust me

[swift crag]

Wasn't the problem that the code isn't working

[slender nymph]

ah yeah that too. and of course they never set the variable they are using as a condition to false again after it has been set to true

[swift crag]

It doesn't matter if the list had more than zero elements when that Update method ran. If something changes the contents of the list (e.g. by clearing it), that check is no longer useful.

[sleek notch]

it is

but you was right. Sorry Yesterday I was working on it over 9h until 4am and today also. And the static values they are for saving the numbers between scenes

It is for friends last exams in his school

so sorry for the unreadable code

Hi, I'm like really new to programming with C# and unity as a whole, and I am trying to create a unique movement system. I am having a lot of trouble with one specific thing and i'll try to describe it

So basically you can only move a rectangle in 4 directions using WASD, and whenever you change directions it comes to a complete stop and have to accelerate again. I want that to happen, but I want it to smoothly slide into the next direction only if you're switching to the opposite direction in that axis.

But I can't figure out how to do that and what movement method to use

any help would be greatly appreciated, I am really really bad at coding

[onyx zenith]

Hi complete Unity Newbie here. I'm working on an assignment but have been stuck for a while on something really simple, I've created a procedurally generated terrain but can't for the life of me get the collision to work. I've attempted collisions with regular planes with the player character so I know the physics and player collisions are fine and thus must be due to the terrain itself. The terrain has a mesh filter, renderer and collider with the mesh in the filter and collider matching. I'm assuming I've just overlooked something simple so if anyone could point it out to me that'd be appreciated.

[swift crag]

You're generating the mesh yourself, right?

[onyx zenith]

yeah

[swift crag]

ok that question is kind of obviously answered with 'yes'

ha

I believe you need to do something to get that mesh ready for use with a mesh collider

[onyx zenith]

I've got the options from my script here if there's anything worth noting from it

[swift crag]

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Physics.BakeMesh.html

But this says that should be automatic..

Normally, the MeshCollider component requires the baked mesh when the user instantiates it, or when the user sets a new mesh to it with the sharedMesh property.

Ah

But you're manipulating an existing mesh, perhaps?

[onyx zenith]

no the mesh is set to nothing until the project is initiated

[swift crag]

Ah, yep

You assign the mesh before you build the terrain

So it doesn't get baked

[onyx zenith]

ah

[swift crag]

I think you just need to do this after you're done

[onyx zenith]

ahhhh

[swift crag]

...well, actually

just assign it at the end

no need to manually call BakeMesh

[onyx zenith]

lemme give it a shot

[swift crag]

this is some weird serendipity, because I only noticed that method a day or two ago

after telling someone that I learn about unity quirks by pulling up random autocompletions in my IDE :p

[onyx zenith]

🫂

It works

thanks so much

[swift crag]

nice!

no prob

[proper creek]

does anybody know a solution to my issue 😭

i dont mean to be annoying but i just wasted my entire sunday trying to work on it and ive gotten nowhere

[pliant abyss]

Hey, your question is a bit vague so it is difficult to help. How are you putting the rectangle into motion?

[proper creek]

Well I accidentally deleted a lot of my code, but this is what it moved like before except i wanted it to swing back when you change the direction on the same axis

and im not sure what movement method to use for it

[pliant abyss]

Okay, don't show video or images of code. Your video doesn't play, so I can't tell what is going on.

            cubesList.Add(item.gameObject);
        }

        int degree = GetDegreeToRotateColumn(direction);
        
        foreach (GameObject item in cubesList)
        {
            BlockManager blockTag = item.GetComponent<BlockManager>();
            Transform itemTransform = item.GetComponent<Transform>().transform;

            itemTransform.RotateAround(new Vector3(0, 0, 0), Vector3.right, degree);
            blockTag.UpdateStatus();
        }
    }

I try to make Rubik's cube but when I try to rotate side by 90 degree there is a small problem that some of the cubes dissapears. The problem mainly is in my script that because after each move it check cube position,

    public void UpdateStatus()
    {
        Vector3 position = gameObject.GetComponent<Transform>().position;

        switch (position.x)
        {
            case < 0:
                columnPosition = ColumnPosition.Left;
                break;
            case > 0:
                columnPosition = ColumnPosition.Right;
                break;
            case 0:
                columnPosition = ColumnPosition.Center;
                break;
        }

etc for z and y and mainly reason is in that after some moves one cube have weird position like this. I read something like float estimation (?) but i don't really know how to handle it and where to find answer.
EDIT: I tryed also multiply it by the number very close to one like 0.9999f but after some moves there is visible that this is not 90 degree, but generaly it works

[proper creek]

see thats the thing, i dont have the code anymore since i accidentally got rid of it. that video of the game before i deleted it is all i have to show what i mean

[timber panther]

._. my mobs go through walls, i added rigidbody and collider to wall and the mobs but the mob still go through wall

[rich adder]

walls should not have rigidbody.

its likely you're moving mobs through transform instead of rigidbody component

[timber panther]

void ChasePlayer()
    {
        
        // Get the direction from the enemy to the player
        Vector2 direction = (player.position - transform.position).normalized;

        // Move the enemy in the direction of the player
        // Use Rigidbody2D to move the enemy and respect collisions
        if (rb != null)
        {
            rb.MovePosition(rb.position + direction * moveSpeed * Time.fixedDeltaTime);
        }
        else
        {
            Debug.LogWarning("Rigidbody2D component is missing.");
        }
    }

Thats how i move my mobs ._.

[rich adder]

MovePosition is meant for kinematic rigidbodies, it doesn't stop at colliders though

[timber panther]

so how can i fix it

[rich adder]

you can do AddForce or .Velocity
the direction is the same, just take out the deltaTime

also they are localspace so you don't need rb.position+ either

so eg rb.velocity = direction * moveSpeed

[timber panther]

if (rb != null)
        {
            rb.AddForce(direction * moveSpeed);
        }

like this right?

[rich adder]

yeah just make sure its inisde the FixedUpdate

[winter aspen]

Hello,
I have a green capsule on my grid to simulate a unit (marked in cyan in the first screenshot). How can I fix this culling issue?
I want it to be "cull if fully invisible" or "dont cull if even part of it is visible"

My camera settings are in the second pic

[timber panther]

it still move through the wall ._.

[wintry quarry]

Not a code question - and "what your issue is" is not clear.

[rich adder]

can you show the setup? are you sure the walls have colliders,

[timber panther]

i use TileMap collider 2D for coliiders

and enemy have circle collider

they are in Default Layer

[rich adder]

oh ok did you save the new script changes?

[timber panther]

yes i saved code change

[rich adder]

did you remove the rigidbody from the tilemap or make it static if you're using composite collider

[timber panther]

let me try using composite collider

it still go through

[rich adder]

composite just mainly unifies all the smaller boxes into big box to avoid issues like "sticking" it would probably not solve anything

[timber panther]

i removed rigidbody and composite collider still not work

[rich adder]

can you record short vid of whats happening, make sure you have tilemap selected in scene view

its easier to put the gameview / scene view side by side

[timber panther]

the game is below the scene

[plucky copper]

This is going to seem like a silly question:

Rider keeps telling me that if (objectThing != null) is an expensive operation.

Is if(objectThing) fully equivalent to checking is something is not null (assuming objectThing is not a boolean)?

[rich adder]

are they all at Z of 0 ? also could you send the updated Enemy script in its entirety

[timber panther]

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

public class Chasing : MonoBehaviour
{
    public Transform player;        // Reference to the player (MainCharacter)
    public float moveSpeed = 3f;    // Movement speed of the enemy
    Rigidbody2D rb;                 // Rigidbody2D component of the enemy

    public LayerMask collisionLayer; // LayerMask to check for collisions with walls/obstacles, not the player
    void Start()
    {
        
        rb = GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>();
        collisionLayer = LayerMask.GetMask("Default");
        // If the player is not manually assigned, find the player by its tag

        else
        {
            Debug.LogWarning("Rigidbody2D component is missing.");
        }
    }
}

Also where to find the Z, if it mean the order in layers, ye they all 0

[rich adder]

code seems fine, and By Z I mean the transform position Z

did you mess with the Layer overrides ? or any of that

[timber panther]

is it the Z in the first line?

so ye both in same Z position

[rich adder]

lol dam well there is something obvious I'm missing here..

[rich adder]

the player too ?

[timber panther]

yes the player in Z 0 also

[timber panther]

welp, i tried change to dynamic in rigidbody and the collider seems ok then i think the problem should be in the movement calculation in code

nvm

the code work if the rigidbody is dynamic ;D

[rich adder]

wait...what did you have before

[timber panther]

i set it kinematic

[rich adder]

oof..I forgot kinematic has velocity in 2d..

so it moved

[timber panther]

welp

[rich adder]

yeah that was the initial intention, it should be dynamic

[timber panther]

it strange

the enemy not moving

and my character spinning

._.

ok i fixed it

[timber panther]

thanks alot

[rich adder]

always lock the rigidbody z rotation (unless u need it ig lol)

[timber panther]

thanks

[spark sinew]

I tried to use the trick of math.round() to round a number to a certain number of decimals, but it does not seem to work always

for example if I do math.round(x*100f)*0.01f it should round to 2 decimal points

however due to float things somethimes I get like 1.099999999999 instead of 1.01

[swift crag]

It will, barring floating-point precision problems.

[spark sinew]

orry instead of 1.10

[swift crag]

If you want to display a number with a certain number of digits, that's a completely separate topic

[spark sinew]

so how should I do for display?

[swift crag]

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/standard/base-types/standard-numeric-format-strings

e.g.

float x = 1.23456f;
Debug.Log($"{x:N2}");

This will log a number with two decimal digits

[spark sinew]

and to display on a textbox, it would still work ?

[swift crag]

string whatever = $"{myValue:N2}";

[spark sinew]

thx!

[swift crag]

The $"" syntax is called "string interpolation"

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/language-reference/tokens/interpolated

You don't have to use it -- you can also use String.Format

In that case, you'd do something more like

string.Format("{0:N2}", myValue)

I like string interpolation because you put the value directly into the string

[spark sinew]

ok

[swift crag]

The N means "number", and then 2 tells it to have two decimal digits

[short fjord]

Hey I have some issue with my animations not randomly playing. One of the kick animations DOES play but only that one it wont change. I have messed with the states, ran it through chat gpt, the transitions, and as far as the script i have no clue what is wrong as every transition has the kick trigger except the first one entering the substate machine which has the space trigger. here is the link to my code. and i will attach screen shots of my animator. just to be clear the goal is that every time i press space one of these three animations will play at random. https://paste.ofcode.org/pxrBdbBWqxmyaYR9gveYa3

[swift crag]

What does "not playing" here mean? Does the animator enter the correct state but simply not produce any motion, or does it get stuck and not enter Kicks at all?

[short fjord]

It enters kicks because brazillian kick is the animation that plays every time the space bar is pressed but it will not switch to any of the other kicks

[swift crag]

Oh, I hard a brain fart

I misread that as "Randomly not playing"

[short fjord]

lol yeah i need them to randomly play

[swift crag]

What do the transitions from "New State" to the three kick states look like?

[short fjord]

it is "kick" as the trigger one is kick1, kick2, kick3 which should get shuffled through because of my script? this part in particular

int random = Random.Range(1, KickRandomizer + 1);
string triggername = "kick" + random;
KickAnims.SetTrigger(triggername);

[swift crag]

I'm talking about these transition arrows

[short fjord]

thats what im saying each one is just a kick with a different number

[swift crag]

What about this transition into "Kicks"?

[swift crag]

Okay, that looks fine

You set two triggers: one called "SPACE" that takes you into the sub-state machine, and then a second that takes you from "New State" into a specific kick state

I see no reason for KICKED() to not set the three different kick triggers uniformly at random

[swift crag]

Make sure that each transition uses a different kick trigger, of course

and that each animation state has a different animation clip assigned to it

[short fjord]

This part i just double checked but im knew to animation so im not 100% i know what you mean by clip

[swift crag]

Each animation state has a Motion

which is either an animation clip or a blend tree

random example

this is an animation state named "Scene - Shore" that references an animation clip that's also named "Scene - Shore"

check that you didn't assign the same clip to all three states

[short fjord]

they are all different

Right now every kick is front kick( when testing it to clarify)

[swift crag]

I thought the brazilian kick was playing every time!

are you sure you aren't just unlucky? :p

[short fjord]

it was but i reset the state machine just to double check lol

[swift crag]

"reset the state machine"?

[short fjord]

i wanted to go add every tranistion and animation back in one by one to make sure i wasnt crazy

[swift crag]

You should log the trigger you're setting in KICKED(), to verify that it's not setting the same trigger each time

[short fjord]

they are all different amd all have the appropriate triggers but now it is front kick it is stuck on

[swift crag]

I don't see any reason for that to happen -- KickRandomizer is private and not serialized, so nothing could be changing it

unless you're doing something weird with the rng seed in Random

e.g. setting it to a constant value every frame

[short fjord]

ok sooo i think i see what is happening now but i dont why

so according to the debug log it does go through other trigger names but the animations dont actually start and once it goes to 3 it stays at kick3 it wont go back to any other

[swift crag]

Ah, so it fails to kick at all until it happens to pick kick3

Make sure you don't have any spaces in the names of those triggers

I'm pretty sure a trailing space is allowed, like kick1

[short fjord]

OK I GOT IT TO WORK YAYYYYYY now i just gotta adjust all the times

THANK YOUUUU\

[latent glade]

How can I make a ray cast start out ahead of the gameobject?
I want to have a bot check to see if there is no ground ahead of it, then it would jump

[spark sinew]

Hi y'all I would like to make a cube appear or disappear, the cube is defined with the tag "Target" in the game. However, when I try to access it Target =GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag("Target"); it fails (the code doesn't go further

[latent glade]

are going to end up only hiding one cube or multiple?

[frosty hound]

Finding with tags only does so with active objects.

[spark sinew]

I used Gameobject.Find() and now it works. Not sure what was the issue

Hey yall, heard bad things about OnTriggerStay2D, is this approach any better than using that method?

    private void OnTriggerEnter2D(Collider2D other)
    {
        if (other.gameObject.layer == 3) isTouchingPlayer = true;
        if (other.gameObject.layer == 11) isTouchingPlayerTwo = true;
    }

[teal viper]

This is fine, yes.

[nova swift]

Thanks

[rich adder]

careful hardcoding numbers. its bad habit. Something like NameToLayer at least you change strings in serialized field

True, thanks. Just was a quick write-up so I could see if it still worked like the previous OnTriggerStay2D

[nimble apex]

is it a good idea to inherit OnDestroy()?

or use new

cansomewone pls help, i have a script that is ment to turn on a object when it collides but dosent

[slender nymph]

https://unity.huh.how/physics-messages

[sullen perch]

i dont understand

[steep rose]

you need a rigidbody on 1 of the objects

[sullen perch]

i did that but it still dosent work

i also added unity.UI

[teal viper]

Did you over all the information on the page that boyfriend linked?

[polar acorn]

Show the inspector of the other object

[sullen perch]

Hi, I fixed the issue, thanks for all the help

[torpid viper]

Are there premade scripts i can find somewhere

[fickle kelp]

Do I have to pay to use unity?

[timber tide]

no unless you make money, so no

[eager spindle]

kinda, is there something you're looking for in particular?

[teal viper]

Sure. There is plenty of code online. Just google.

[torpid viper]

Well i think il learn faster that way

Im still not sure wherever to use ue5 or unity

[keen owl]

pretty sure you would need to do .gameObject before the SetActive()

[teal viper]

It's already a GameObject. They just named it poorly.

[keen owl]

my fault, I didn't even see the type lmao

[mighty glacier]

Anyone know how to fix this lighting issue?

It ruins the vibe when the player gets close to a wall or anything

There's this huge line of light

[keen owl]

#archived-lighting also try layer masking

thanks i can try that

and soory didnt see that channel xD

[onyx zenith]

anyone have anyguesses as to why popUpPrefab isn't showing up in the inspector?

[burnt vapor]

Configure your editor to support Unity

[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

[teal viper]

Do you have any compile errors?

[burnt vapor]

Until then, we can't/won't help you

[onyx zenith]

none

[teal viper]

Yeah, configure your ide first.

[onyx zenith]

is this not configured?

[teal viper]

That's not the only step, is it?

[frail hawk]

the white color of MonoBehavoir inside your script shows that you have your IDE not configured correctly. Intellisense and a few things are not working.

might be some things related to this why your field is not popping out.

[burnt vapor]

Follow all steps, see which one is incorrect

I'd assume it is the workload, but this is up to you to check

Alternatively, regenerate your project files

It might be configured, just set up wrong by Unity

[frail hawk]

i am guessing you have some errors you have to fix first, they might be not showing up in the console because you have disabled the console log out in Unity

[onyx zenith]

idk what to tell you guys I installed it today and I'm not getting the option to update it or anything

[teal viper]

Try regenerating project files.

It's in External tools tab.

[onyx zenith]

no luck

[teal viper]

Open solution explorer in visual studio and take a screenshot.

[frail hawk]

i know you said popUpPrefab but did you mean popupInstance instead.

[burnt vapor]

Yeah if these things are actually valid it should just work tbh

[frail hawk]

it is private it has to be public if you want it in the inspector

[onyx zenith]

nah ik its private

is solution explorer just this where it shows the errors at the bottom?

[teal viper]

One more thing: make sure that you selected the correct visual studio version in the external tools.

[burnt vapor]

Where it shows your files

I'd say screenshot the whole window rather than just that

[teal viper]

No. It's a tab that is usually docked on the right side. Or you'll need to add it. It's called solution explorer.

[onyx zenith]

what part of that do you need to see it's just the assets folder

oh

oh my god

🫢

I'm been editing the wrong script this entire time

I'm so sorry

[burnt vapor]

🤔

But regardless your editor is broken

[frail hawk]

yeah it is really important to have instellisense function working, especially for beginners, it will support you alot.

[burnt vapor]

The way you send messages makes me wonder if you use ChatGPT for them

[frail hawk]

who you talking to

[tawdry quest]

Noone here looking like GPT

[tawdry quest]

Not correct

[SerializeField] is the better option, so you dont have everything public

[frail hawk]

sorry but not everyone is a native english speaker like you ...

and i do not use gee pee pee.

[tawdry quest]

You want to have as little public as possible (ty autocorrect)

[hexed terrace]

There is never a need to have a public field

[tawdry quest]

Yes, but then please refrain from trying to help, if you cant even understand the problem / answer correctly.

Sometimes doing nothing is the better choice

[frail hawk]

dude you are being rude rn for no reason, i only said that because the rest of his fields were also public and one was private..

[tawdry quest]

Im not

[hexed terrace]

No one has been rude

[tawdry quest]

You are free to answer, but if you already say you dont speak good english and are easily misunderstood, then please leave it to people that actually speak english properly.

[frail hawk]

this is rude : Yes, but then please refrain from trying to help, if you cant even understand the problem / answer correctly.

[hexed terrace]

That's not rude.

[tawdry quest]

Its not rude at all

[frail hawk]

for me it is very rude.

[hexed terrace]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[tawdry quest]

[median anchor]

Depending on context it's a bit condenscending.

[tawdry quest]

True you should always use get set for public stuff

[pliant abyss]

This isn't rudeness. There is no other way to say convey this thought. It isn't a criticism of your intelligence. Language acquisition is difficult, and English is particularly weird. If others are having trouble understanding you, you are not helping them, especially in a nuanced field like computer science.

It is good that you are trying to help, it is good that you are practicing your English, but beginners don't known everything they need to know and are easily confused. I know because I am a beginner.

[timber tide]

Can't be bothered setting up event handlers on everything

[naive pawn]

Its not meant condecensing, see Dios message above

[hexed terrace]

suppose for your own stuff, doesn't really matter!

Sorry for the confusion. To me it looked like you were using ChatGPT to send messages using the way the message was formed

However, this wasn't some indication to start a pointless discussion. My bad for bringing it up

[fresh arrow]

can someone tell me the difference between the usage of Vector2 and newVector2?

[wintry quarry]

Vector2 is a thing.
newVector2 is not a thing.
It's probably just the name of one of your variables.

[cosmic quail]

https://discussions.unity.com/t/difference-between-new-vector2-and-just-vector2/814106

[wintry quarry]

if you mean what is new Vector2(x, y) that's the Vector2 constructor being called

The constructor creates a new C# object, in this case a Vector2

[fresh arrow]

ohhh my bad the guy in the tutorial used vector 2 and new vector 2 so i got confused as hell

[wintry quarry]

https://www.w3schools.com/cs/cs_constructors.php

Constructors are a basic C# concept for creating objects.

[cosmic quail]

i just realized you're in the thread i linked 😄

[polar acorn]

new Vector2 is a thing. You initially said newVector2 which is not a thing

[fresh arrow]

yeah forgot the spacing

im writing a script where if the character steps on the objects it jerks upwards but right now it just teleports to y 44 how can i give it that motion?

[languid spire]

you would use a coroutine to Lerp the position

[fresh arrow]

can you explain how would you use it?

[languid spire]

Is this some kind of yoof code for 'I cant be arsed to look things up'?, I see this response so often
instead of setting the position you start a coroutine
in the coroutine you loop around a Lerp statement to move the position gradualy over time

[fresh arrow]

my bad i am already looking it up

[vagrant vault]

bump

[languid spire]

have you read the documentation?

[vagrant vault]

some parts - i am not a programmer i try to use unity to my math project; in lot of uses they use this method in Updated i didn’t really see any others examples where somebody use it to staticky rotate

[wintry quarry]

Specifically the documentation for RotateAround.

[vagrant vault]

only example section

i will check it again

thanks

[wintry quarry]

You should look at what each parameter does

Because right now you're just kind of hardcoding certain things and it doens't make sense.

It's also unclear what your desired behavior is.

DO you want it to just snap to the end state? Or animate?

[vagrant vault]

actually snap, animation is less nesesery

this rotations are main thing that i will check so I don’t see reasons why not to hard code it

[wintry quarry]

Reasons why not to hard code it is that a Rubik's cube can rotate in 18 different ways.

Each with a different set of parts rotating around a different axis in a different direction

Right now you're hardcoding the center of rotation and axis of rotation

[vagrant vault]

yeah, that’s one method that rotate only columns up or down there is also one for rows and face(?) deep(?) don’t know how to name it

but what ever this code doesn’t really is importart

i changed yesterday this int degree to float degree

and doesn’t really help me :v

[wintry quarry]

You should just make one method with parameters that does everything so you're not duplicating code.

there's no need to rewrite the code 3 times

And even for columns, you can't rotate around the same point all the time

Each column rotates around a different point

[vagrant vault]

as i told i am not really a programmer and don’t really want to be so code doesn’t really interest me as long as it works

[wintry quarry]

Understanding the code is really the best path towards getting it to work

[astral falcon]

May I use this quote as a generic one for other situations, please 😄 Love it

[naive pawn]

i don't think so?
R L U D F B
R' L' U' D' F' B'
R2 L2 U2 D2 F2 B2
Rw Lw Uw Dw Fw Bw
Rw' Lw' Uw' Dw' Fw' Bw'
Rw2 Lw2 Uw2 Dw2 Fw2 Bw2
M E C M' E' C' M2 E2 C2
X Y Z X' Y' Z' X2 Y2 Z2

that's 54 ways

there's an additional 27 ways if you allow opposite faces to rotate at the same time

[wintry quarry]

I'm not familiar with this notation (or very versed in rubik's cubes) but I just thought of 3 rows, 3 columns, 3 deep and then doubled it for rotating the other direction

either way

my point is there are many ways

[naive pawn]

and an additional 36 ways if you allow opposite wide turns

[wintry quarry]

the actual number doesn't matter

(I was only considering quarter turns)

[naive pawn]

(would you like to know? i was typing up an explanation but it occured to me that you might not be interested)

[wintry quarry]

not especially interested, thank you.

I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask, but is wave function collapse usable on a non gridded world? I don't think there is a specific reason, but all the resources I've found have been for voxel or grid systems

if not, i'm pretty sure Graph rewriting would work, but that's a bit above my pay grade

[verbal dome]

Townscaper does it on an irregular grid

But still a grid

[polar acorn]

The only thing you really need is some definition of a "Unit" that you can replicate and place in a specific place.

This doesn't need to be grid, but a grid is the easiest to explain and simplest to implement

You might need to check more than one "Cell" in a direction if it's an irregular grid

[queen adder]

maybe I'm looking in the wrong place. I wanted to make a generation system that can create randomized rooftop shapes for a platforming game, but I wanted to ensure that all of the gaps are jumpable, regardless of the height difference between them. would it be better to instead use wfc to create sets of points that will be connected to create edges?

I might also be able to use a gaussian distribution to create the height difference, and then a probability distribution function scaled with height for the distance, to insure the gap is jumpable.

[silver basin]

How do I find an object in an array by using the Index?

[polar acorn]

[index]

[languid spire]

object = array[index];

[queen adder]

I wanted random generation with the only rule being that some point of the rooftops have to be anywhere inside the ballistic trajectory of the player from the previously generated roof

[languid spire]

so that is your starting point. Generate a random point within range and then generate the rest of the roof based upon that point

[queen adder]

would you use a distribution or wfc, or something else?

[languid spire]

that is up to you, I dont know what kind of roofs you are trying to generate

[queen adder]

just roofs that aren't square, and are generally the same area, ish

[languid spire]

there are hundreds of forms of roofs

[queen adder]

flat roofs, specifically. sorry

[west radish]

implementing WFC isnt trivial, but I think all that really matters is that when you select a cell in the grid, youre able to find all the neighbouring cells. The grids shape mostly doesnt matter, an irregular grid just makes things a little more harder, I'm not sure how you'd actually store a grid like this one

[queen adder]

the issue is that It can't be a grid

[languid spire]

then it's simple, use a Voroni algorithm

[queen adder]

so generate a map, then carve gaps along the cell walls

[west radish]

https://oskarstalberg.com/game/wave/wave.html heres a pretty nice demo of a WFC, I cant see any reason why the same behaviour of it wouldnt work for any arbitrary grid style

[queen adder]

or separate them by a random height, and then a random length given the height

[west radish]

all it does it move from one cell to a neighbouring cell, how those cells actually exist as your grid, isnt important to a WFC

[queen adder]

so can I use WFC to limit an inequality based on the shapes already generated?

Hi. Do you know how to create a globe in Unity and scale it to real size? Because I have a problem adding a texture to the globe because I have some limitations and when I want to drag the texture I get a red crossed out icon and I don't know where to change it to impose a texture on the circle and I would like to create a map like the SpaceX company from Elon Musk to track Falcon 9 rockets (only in the game Kerbal Space Program 1 on Steam). I would like this map to be original in the sense of authentic, different source code, etc. Thanks

[swift crag]

so your question is "how do I put a texture on a sphere"?

You can't drag a texture asset onto an object. You need to create a new material and use that texture in it

[jagged hare]

Doesn't kerbal already track satellites?

[rocky canyon]

u want a real world scaled earth in unity?

have fun w/ that

[west radish]

yeah, you really dont want to be dealing with a 1:1 scale version of an entire planet

[rocky canyon]

heres the best way ive found of trying to texture a sphere

its a subdivided Cube.. stop the poles from having weird stretched textures

ur texture could look like this.. (having the bottom pole being where its cut from.. (but this is more #🔀┃art-asset-workflow just noticed the channel

anything > 1500 units is gonna start breaking

b/c of floating point precision errors/inaccuracies

[rocky canyon]

this is helpful.. never knew 🧡

[west radish]

earths radius is about 6400meters wide. If you decided to place the center of the sphere at (0,0,0) then youre going to have to place all your other objects way off in the distance 6500 meters from the world origin. Trust me, you dont want to do that

[swift crag]

maybe more like 6,400 kilometers :p

But yes, you start running into precision issues when you get far enough away from the world origin

[west radish]

6400 only gets you on the surface

[swift crag]

I imagine that space games use higher-precision formats to store positions

and then position everything relative to the viewer, who stays at the origin

(That's basically what camera-relative rendering does..)

[west radish]

also any rigidbody at this scale is going to need some velocity like 7660 m/s thats what the ISS uses

[rocky canyon]

room gonna be getting warm this winter

[west radish]

im sure that KSP cheats in so many ways to make things easier

[rocky canyon]

ohh 1000 percent it cheats

pretty sure its sitting on some proprietary code too

[west radish]

id guess that because you cant do physics calculations once something is far away from (0,0,0), it wouldnt surprise me if when you go click on some ship out to the edge of the solar system, the game just offsets the position of everything to be close to origin

[rocky canyon]

thats pretty much a given.. Floating Origin System(s)

[verbal dome]

FYI, you can drag a texture on an object, it auto creates a material from it

[west radish]

orbit calculations are dead simple too, those are basically just a circle. I honestly dont think youd actually need rigidbodies at all once you get into space

[rocky canyon]

https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/physics/simple-kepler-orbits-97048?srsltid=AfmBOoos2e1G0kWP77niK0K6uhzDE623RGdby-ZvONAGpnl4_Gjm3Pzx

^ this is what i use for my orbits

really good asset.. (nice and simple w/ gizmos to boot)

[swift crag]

whaaaaaaat

shoot, you totally can

lmao

into the materials materials folder

[spark sinew]

orbits don't have to be circular, in general they are elliptic. with too much energy they become parabolic or hyperbolic

(in the last 2 cases that's not an orbit anymore)

[verbal dome]

For my proc gen stuff I use a custom data structure that is like a mesh but with additional neighbor data etc.

[west radish]

ooh thats pretty

[verbal dome]

Even prettier when the generation process is animated :P

But yeah irregular grids are pretty cool for this kinda stuff

This geometry will be really useful for city layouts and such

[swift crag]

ooo

so each cell always has four neighbors

it's just all weebly-wobbly

(well, has at most four neighbors)

[verbal dome]

Only because I have a subdivision modifier in that screenshot - here's without

Triangles are present here - they just get split into quads when subdividing

[swift crag]

ah, I see

I am very interested in something like that for a Future Project

My dream is automatically generate suburban hell

which is particularly complex

[verbal dome]

I can always discuss this stuff so hit me up when the time comes

I just have a stack of effects like these that produce/modify some geometry

[west radish]

https://youtu.be/MwANWf6G9EE?t=123 I like what he does around this timecode, starting out with a fairly irregular triangle mesh with extra detail added into the colored regions

I know its not so cut and dry to write a similar thing in Unity

[verbal dome]

Looks cool how the density changes

Houdini looks awesome. From what I can tell I am basically making a poor man's houdini in unity lol

For runtime tho!

[west radish]

Houdini is very nice

if only it was designed for runtime 😔

[humble rain]

hi guys, how much ram are you having for Unity ? I currently having 32 GB or ram right now so I don't know if i need more of it
ram used to be really expensive so i only can get that much

[wintry quarry]

32 is fine for most applications but more is better. It depends also on the projects you are working on. Simpler smaller projects need less.

[humble rain]

yes, ram got alot of cheaper right now i don't know why, it used to be like extremely expensive to get more than 32 GB. My air cooler is really huge so if I want to install more ram I have to remove it which is not ideal.

I want to work on persona 5 type of game

[humble rain]

it's not any open world or anything, all levels with be loaded separately into chunk

i just hope i don't have to remove my pc air cooler

[steep rose]

you don't need all four slots taken up by ram, there are 2 stick kits in various sizes (i.e 2x 16gb or 2x 32gb)

32GB of ram is fine for most projects (I have 32GB and unity runs great)

[humble rain]

yes, but if i want install the ram kid, their air cooler fan..it too big and already shield everything 😭 I should go for an AIO water cooler but since my initial thought this would be a work pc, air cooler would be better, and I just pick the biggest air cooler

and now it just shield everything !!!

it's my first pc as well so I didn't know anything better

[humble rain]

i see thank you, that's ensuring

since some technician he built this pc for me and I don't know how to remove the fan

[steep rose]

well your computer already has ram so you must have some clearance, so most relatively normal ram kits would work, although they probably wouldn't have fancy lighting as that may cause clearance issues as they would be a bit taller

also you can remove the cpu fan cooler via screwdriver and unscrewing its related screws

[humble rain]

i see, i thought we have to remove all the wired as well so i just panic

oh, if you saying to remove the cooler.. that's no no..

[steep rose]

well you would have to unplug the wire that is plugged into the motherboard, but it usually is not to hard

if you want it out of the case of course

[swift crag]

Time for a Dremel tool

💥

[humble rain]

well, if you already 32gb run great then there is not point worry about it for now. thank you.

[swift crag]

but yes, I've had a perfectly good time with 32 gigs of memory

[steep rose]

you said your air cooler is causing clearance issues with ram, so I'm guessing you have to remove it to remove ram. If that's not the case then I'm not sure what you are talking about

[swift crag]

(including going between multiple programs -- blender, substance painter, unity)

[humble rain]

yes, it's an big ass air cooler Thermalright Dual-Tower Frost Commander 140 BLACK

i don't even know what is dual tower is when i purchase it

the fan it shield all the rams slots 😭

[steep rose]

All of your ram slots? if you are using normal ram then you should be able to upgrade it no biggie, if you are using low profile ram then 😬

do you know what your ram is?

[humble rain]

i am having this one.. it's indeed low profile..

[humble rain]

yes, all 4 of them.. dumb ass cooler😭

i don't even have the tools to remove all the screwdrivers

well, i will learn my lesson this time..

thank you you guys for your help

[steep rose]

yeah you should be able to upgrade to a higher ram value if needed, just make sure to compare the L W H of the new ram compared to your old ram so it doesn't have that bad of clearance issues. Right now your ram L H W (I'm guessing off of the my caliper measurements) is (133.35mm, 34.1mm 7.2mm (which is from the website )).

void Reloader()
{
if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.R) && m_LastTimeShot + AmmoReloadDelay < Time.time && m_CurrentAmmo < MaxAmmo){

            IsReloading = true;
            m_CurrentAmmo = MaxAmmo;
            GetComponent<Animator>().SetTrigger("ReloadDone");

                     else {

                           }


    }

so basically it only will reload when the reload delay time elapses
is there a way for you to press the r key then the time passes then it does it
because now i have to keep mashing the key until the time elapses

i was told this belongs here

can you please elaborate on the input queue idea?

[royal arrow]

I am making a puzzle game to learn Unity and am looking for a modern tutorial on how I should be setting up the level selection and scene switching systems. I'm making a puzzle platformer and am trying to keep the player and camera in a separate shared scene, loading levels additively on top of that. I have something implemented and working but it doesn't seem very maintainable long term so I want to refactor it now before things get out of hand.

I found a few tutorials but most of them focus on how to set up the UI, which is not what I'm actually interested in, and the rest use singletons which is a pattern I'm trying to avoid. If anyone knows of any videos or articles it would be greatly appreciated. Note: I'm new to Unity but not to programming in general so it doesn't have to be a "for absolute beginners" level tutorial.

[rocky canyon]

sounds absolutely fine.. and how i do mine..

1 big persistent master scene

[pure pike]

how would i play an audio clip, like "GetComponent<AudioClip>()." idk what would go after the period to play it?

[slender nymph]

AudioClip is the asset. you use an AudioSource to play it

[spark sinew]

hi y'all, I am doing a project where i need to track road users (bikes, cars, pedestrians) in a scene and pass their position to a unity meta quest 3 app. How do I pass external data to a unity app so that it is nearly live ? I have never done this before

it is very little bit of data, just coordinates obtained from a python script

[wintry quarry]

The typical way to communicate between two different processes is to use Internet Protocol. For something like position, assuming it's coming in one regular basis (once or more per second), you would probably use UDP.

[spark sinew]

ok

and on the unity side, is there something that can receive UDP data ?

[wintry quarry]

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/framework/network-programming/using-udp-services

really nothing to do with Unity

you'd spin up a thread and make a UDP listener

Just... multithreading can be difficult if you have no experience with it, especially in Unity. You have to be very careful about how your UDP listener thread communicates with the main thread.

I mean you're bringing up some very specific shader from some very specific video with not that many views from 2 years ago. It's unlikely anyone is familiar with this particular video let alone why it might work or not work. For all we know you copied the code wrong or the tuitorial never worked or something.

You're better off either:

• Asking Daniel Ilett or his community
• Sharing the details of the code etc... in #archived-shaders

Sure, i will post the post in shaders tab

I love how descriptive these definitions are 🧍

[full kite]

I got a question, maybe someone can help me cause I struggled to learn this thing. How does UI work and how to make an UI thats immune to any resolution. Like If I put something in the middle, I want it to remain there no matter what. Like Custom things cause If I wanted on the center or the edges I would anchor it.

Anchor it in a place and then move it with position does not help cause at different resolutions, it causes damage

Looks like things are more or less working. Thoughts on Github copilot?

[charred spoke]

If you do not fully understand the code that the ai outputs then you better not use it. 9/10 times it’s gonna contain subtle bugs.

If it even compiles that is

[burnt vapor]

Not sure what you want us to day

Something is null. I assume you can figure this out if you know the exception. Surely this happened recently so you know what code to look at?

Alternatively start logging and see when it happends

[delicate portal]

I'm currently using IPointer interfaces outside of Unity in a Unity environment, and the Interfaces's methods throws me this exception.

[burnt vapor]

But an interface is implemented by the user or internal code

So did you implement the method?

[delicate portal]

Yes, thats why I don't understand the error

[burnt vapor]

So what is the confusion exactly?

Either share the code in here, or start debugging

We don't know either

You assume a value exists, but it's null

Also, since this is a LogError the stacktrace is limited. We don't know if this is from your code or internal code now

If you suspect it's not your code, reload the project and try again

If the error persists, you did something wrong

[delicate portal]

In this environment registering interfaces works like this. I assume the is something to do with either the methods or the eventsystem.

[waxen adder]

Okay, so I have the ide set up, but intellisense is barely working. It won't look outside the class, so something like [CustomClass].[CustomFunction] won't receive any autocompletes. I also can't really use f12 on anything it seems, including monobehaviour. Any ideas?

[pulsar trail]

how can I load an image in asset folder into a sprite?
i've tried Resources.Load<Sprite>("filename") but it only works in Awake() or Start()
is there a way i can load a sprite in let's say Update()?

[teal viper]

This should work regardless of where it is called from.

[teal viper]

Does the ide detect the projects/assemblies?

[waxen adder]

How would I determine that?

[teal viper]

Take a screenshot of the ide window. Ideally with the solution explorer open(assuming it's VS)

[pulsar trail]

but i get this error in the console:
UnityException: Load is not allowed to be called from a MonoBehaviour constructor (or instance field initializer), call it in Awake or Start instead.

[teal viper]

Then you're not calling it in update. Or you're calling update from somewhere you shouldn't(you shouldn't be calling Update at all).

[teal viper]

Take a screenshot of the error stack trace.

[teal viper]

Tile line 21. Share the Tile script.

[waxen adder]

I take it "(unloaded)" is bad right lol

[teal viper]

Yep. Try right clicking - load.

[pulsar trail]

ah so i can't load it outside of it

[waxen adder]

The major option is "Install missing features" so I'll do that

[teal viper]

Yeah, no. This is run at the object construction time(or rather field initialization). You can't do that.

[pulsar trail]

alright thanks a lot

[teal viper]

I don't think that's gonna help. Might want to go over the ide config steps and regenerate project files if everything seems fine.

[waxen adder]

Installing missing features ended up fixing the problem, so no more worries here!

Thanks for the assistance!

[delicate portal]

No you load it and then you instantiate it

You can only load it in start

but thats just loading, not instantiating

You load it so its there and then you can get it by lets say

Sprite mySprite = Resources.Load<Sprite>("filename")
Image newImage = new Image();
newImage.sprite = mySprite```

[burnt vapor]

Don't assume, test it

Something is null or not what you expect, test it

There's nothing we can do here, you have to check this yourself.

[delicate portal]

I've tested it, thats what I can only assume its null. Because the stack track is not detailed I can only assume

[burnt vapor]

Because it's an error log I assume

But like I said, you added code that triggered this I assume

If you really can't figure it out, make sure your code is saved and start stripping features until it disappears

[delicate portal]

The only thing that gives me errors are the Ipointer functions

[burnt vapor]

Dunno what to tell you

Tips have been given, not much else that can be done

[delicate portal]

There is nothing to debug.

[burnt vapor]

You implement these methods, don't you?

[delicate portal]

Yes I do.

[burnt vapor]

So share these methods

Also, what is RegisterInIl2CPP attribute?

[delicate portal]

https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.0/Documentation/Manual/scripting-backends-il2cpp.html

This guy

[delicate portal]

They are empty Ipointer methods such as IPointerDown

[RegisterInIl2Cpp(typeof(IPointerUpHandler), typeof(IPointerDownHandler), typeof(IPointerEnterHandler), typeof(IPointerExitHandler))]
Thats how you register them

[burnt vapor]

I don't see the attribute specified anywhere

[delicate portal]

Its not well documented

[burnt vapor]

Any reason why you'd do this compared to using the interface normally?

[burnt vapor]

Share the codeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

99% of this conversation is guesswork

[burnt vapor]

So instead of using the attribute you would implement the interfaces on the Monobehaviour normally

- [RegisterInIl2CPP(typeof(IPointerUpHandler) ...)]
- public class InventoryItem : MonoBehaviour {
+ public class InventoryItem : MonoBehaviour, IPointerUpHandler ... {

[delicate portal]

Because the environment I'm working in doesn't support that. It'll register it as a base class which this library doesn't support and the whole syntax is wrong when I use it.

In Unity, internally, you would use what you said.

[burnt vapor]

Why is it not an interface there? That's weird

I never used this so I'm not familiar with it

[delicate portal]

Yeah thats really weird for me as well, I didn't get use to modding unity games yet.

Because you have to compile them at runtime and its weird

[burnt vapor]

Is this supposed to be a mod to another game?

[delicate portal]

I mean it should probably be

[naive pawn]

where are you getting IPointerClickHandler?

is it not the unity one? that's documented as an interface

[burnt vapor]

Oh, in that case nobody can help you here

This server doesn't allow modding third party games

[delicate portal]

Well then I apologise, I wanted to know the Unity side of it.

Maybe I was implementing an interface wrong, or so.

Thanks though, appreciate it, I'll figure it out.

[burnt vapor]

I have never seen this syntax, I was under the impression that these were the actual Unity interfaces

[delicate portal]

I don't get it why they aren't though

[hollow slate]

I've forgotten something pretty standard, and for some reason I can't find any concrete stuff online. I might be going crazy.
When you have UI elements, selecting them without using buttons and such would be to use a raycast, right?
Is this a 3D-raycast or a 2D-raycast?
Do I cast this in pixel-coordinates, as the UI is in that scale?
Does the raycast need to intercept with the UI?
Does the distance between the camera and UI matter when doing this?

[delicate portal]

Well selecting them you mean pressing them?

[hollow slate]

Just finding the reference to them. It could be selecting them, sure.

[delicate portal]

It's much easier now to use IPointer interfaces. We just talked about them a minute ago.
https://docs.unity3d.com/2018.2/Documentation/ScriptReference/EventSystems.IPointerDownHandler.html

[hollow slate]

This seems to be legacy though, is there no Unity 6 “recommended” solution?

I’m using the new input system

[delicate portal]

I rarely used that one

You can use it with it as well

But there is also EventSystem.currentSelectedGameObject

[teal viper]

It's not legacy. The docs are.
https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.ugui@1.0/api/UnityEngine.EventSystems.IPointerDownHandler.html

Since it moved to the package docs.

Up to date page:

[hollow slate]

aha, I see. In this case it seems like I can use it.
I'm still curious though, as it might come up in my project quite soon;
How can I solve this without relying on my pointer specifically?

let's say I want to interact with the UI elements overlapping a certain object - instead of the pointer.

[bitter apex]

I'm trying to mess around with the fontsize of the text of a button whenever you hover over it, so it looks more interactive you know

I've got a bit of code that i believe would work, but I can't seem to drag the text of the button into the inspector thingy

the button uses text mesh pro

nevermind figured it out

docs is beautiful

[delicate portal]

So the UI is overlapped by a certain object?

[hollow slate]

anything. I want control over what UI element I interact with, regardless of where the value comes from

[delicate portal]

Can you give us an example of what UI are you building here? That can help

[teal viper]

@hollow slate Never had a need in it, but I guess you could raycast with the graphics raycaster🤔
https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.ugui@3.0/api/UnityEngine.UI.GraphicRaycaster.html

Other than that, you could loop the rect transforms under the canvas and test if they intersect with certain bounds.

[delicate portal]

Yeah that works

[spark knoll]

So does anyone know State graphy in visual scripting?

I want a solution and I can't find any

basically the problem is , I am working at in a tower defense game and my character is working perfectly fine, but the thing is I want it to speed up after a 3-4 seconds and I am not able to find the proper node

I'm using Navmesh and Ai navigation for it I just want to speed up the walking speed so help me out please!

[crude wagon]

hey so i recently implemented a star for a 2d roguelike i’ve been working on and i can’t build now, i know it’s due to its use of using UnityEditor but i’m not sure how to get rid of it without breaking everything, i’ve toyed around with the configs for it and tried looking at forums and stuff but i just can’t find the solution. sorry if it’s a really easy fix i’m just pretty confused

[delicate portal]

You have to have the script in an Editor folder

A folder named Editor*

(as far as I'm concerned)

[hexed terrace]

without the *

[delicate portal]

That was for the correction

But yes

[crude wagon]

just the ones that interact with the editor or the full astra plugin?

[hexed terrace]

anything that has editor code in, so if it has using UnityEditor; it needs to be in an /Editor folder and not in a scene

[delicate portal]

The .cs file itself

[crude wagon]

alright perfect thank you guys !!

[hexed terrace]

sounds like you've put editor code in a class that is for gameplay though.. sooo.. this is probably gonna lead to other issues

[umbral bough]

Hi, I am trying to add a new camera and enable the post processing via script.
This is giving me a null ref, any clues as to why?

        private static void AddCamera()
        {
            // Create a new Game Object
            GameObject go = new("Camera");

            // Add the camera component
            go.AddComponent<Camera>();

            // Enable post-processing
            var ucd = go.GetComponent<UniversalAdditionalCameraData>();
            ucd.renderPostProcessing = true;

            // Add the audio listener to the camera
            go.AddComponent<AudioListener>();
        }

[hexed terrace]

which line is 342 ?

[hexed terrace]

There's no UniversalAdditionalCameraData component on it?

[umbral bough]

there is

this is an editor script, could that be the issue?

[delicate portal]

Try it out

[umbral bough]

huh?

[delicate portal]

Try putting it in an Editor folder

[umbral bough]

it is already there

[hexed terrace]

that's not.. relevant to the issue

you'll need to debug things out to see which thing is null - even those that should obviously not be null.

log:
go == null
ucd == null

[umbral bough]

should I explicitly add it?

[hexed terrace]

You already have it though, how does it become null?

[umbral bough]

well I create the camera within that same function, editor stuff is weird and sometimes requires refreshes/reloads and stuff

I added itt explicitly and that seems to have worked :/

[verbal dome]

@umbral bough Try waiting for a frame/until the end of frame before getting that component

At least with HDRP the additional camera/light components are not added instantly

[verbal dome]

Ah yea this is probably better if you need it right away.

[coarse shore]

can u collab with someone for free?

[frosty hound]

Yes, the standard is to use something like git to manage the project.

[hexed terrace]

!collab

[toxic cloak]

guys why am i getting lines between the platforms ```public class EnvironmentHandler : MonoBehaviour
{
public GameObject[] roadPrefabs;
public float zSpawn = 0f;
public float roadLength;
public int length;

void Start() {
    for (int i = 0; i < length; i++)
    {
        SpawnRoad(0);
    }
}

public void SpawnRoad(int roadIndex){
    Instantiate(roadPrefabs[roadIndex],transform.forward  * zSpawn,transform.rotation);
    zSpawn += roadLength;
}

}```

is it a visual bug or something else i cant figure out what m doing wrong sorry guys

[winter aspen]

could be Y-fighting?
Is your prefab origin EXACTLY at the edge of the road?

if the origin is not exact, the road pieces may overlap slightly
same Y => y-fighting

a quick way to test it is to give the road pieces slightly different Y coordinates (like -0.05 to +0.05 instead of 0).
Try it out and see if the issue persists

this isn't the optimal solution, just a way to test what is happening

[toxic cloak]

okay let me try changing those

[naive pawn]

if it is that, then making that section the same color should solve it

try checking the prefab and making sure the edges are uniformly black

[winter aspen]

or simply fixing the origin point imo

[naive pawn]

though if it is that, then i don't think it disappear when near the camera/less steep angle

[timber tide]

alpha blending usually resolves fighting but then you got alpha geometry ;p

could also stencil the roads so they run with an incrementing buffer value

[tulip nimbus]

Is there a way for Destroy() to only destroy one GameObject and/or all of them or instances of that gameobject?

{
    Instantiate(particle, coin.transform.position, Quaternion.identity);
        Destroy(coin,0.1f); //Just destroy one random coin
}```

[naive pawn]

"instance of a gameobject" isn't really a thing

"instance of a prefab" is a thing, but i don't think that's tracked automatically

if you want to manipulate/manage/access them as a whole, you should just keep a list of gameobjects you've instantiated

destroying all of them would be looping through the list to destroy, then clearing the list

destroying a random one would be getting a random index, destroying the GO at that index, and then removing that index

[stiff pollen]

hello guys, I need a bit of help with implementing wall check

so I was following this tutorial and I want to implement the ( && !touchingDirections )but I had different code because his code has sprint while mine doesn't

this is mine

  
  { get 
       
      
      {
         
          return _isMoving; 
      } 
      
      private set
      
      {
          _isMoving = value;
          animator.SetBool(AnimationStrings.isMoving, value);
      } 
  }```

[naive pawn]

...ok, what exactly do you need help with?

[rich adder]

so whats the issue?

[burnt vapor]

So update your code?

[stiff pollen]

why I need to update the code if I don't need the sprint function?

[stiff pollen]

can't implement the wall check code on the moving code

[rich adder]

why not?

[stiff pollen]

where can i implement it?

[rich adder]

wdym where? put it in the same spot

[stiff pollen]

i need to implement the && !touchingDirections.isOnWall

it's a different code

[burnt vapor]

How are we supposed to know from the tiny bit of code you send?

If you want to receive actual help, send the full code

[stiff pollen]

okay
