A kinematic rigid body exerts forces but does not respond to them. A kinematic rigid body moving through a field of boxes with normal rigidbodies will push them aside, but not be slowed down by them. This makes it useful for characters that are being directly controlled so you can interact with your environment without losing any sense of control over the character.

How to set GameObject variable the "GameObject" that the script is in?

thanks bro

[tight latch]

i need help with a attack script on a dummy

[eternal sierra]

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

public class Player : MonoBehaviour {

    [SerializeField] private float moveSpeed = 7f;

    private void Update() {
        Vector2 inputVector = new Vector2(0, 0);

        if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.W)) {
            inputVector.y = +1;
        }
        if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.S)) {
            inputVector.y = -1;
        }
        if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.A)) {
            inputVector.x = -1;
        }
        if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.D)) {
            inputVector.x = +1;
        }



        inputVector = inputVector.normalized;

        Vector3 moveDir = new Vector3(inputVector.x, 0f, inputVector.y);
        Debug.Log(moveDir);
        Debug.Log(inputVector);
        transform.position += moveDir * moveSpeed * Time.deltaTime;
        float rotateSpeed = 10f;
        //transform.forward = moveDir;
        transform.forward = Vector3.Slerp(transform.forward, moveDir, Time.deltaTime * rotateSpeed);
        Debug.Log(transform.forward);

    }

}

I have Doubt in this code , When i use
transform.forward = moveDir;
it reverts back to (0,0,0)
but when i use
transform.forward = Vector3.Slerp(transform.forward, moveDir, Time.deltaTime * rotateSpeed);
it does not revert back to (0,0,0)

[cosmic dagger]

You shouldn't need to set a GameObject variable to this GameObject since you always have access to it . . .

[junior ether]

yes makes sense

im just a little confuse and trying to ge the hang of it but i get it now

[cosmic dagger]

No problem. Any script derived from MonoBehaviour has access to the gameObject property. It is the GameObject the script is attached to . . .

[junior ether]

thx man

[swift crag]

You can find all of the members of MonoBehaviour here!

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/MonoBehaviour.html

notably, this section

[junior ether]

How to use a method from a script to another script?

[frail hawk]

make your method public and inside the script you want to access the method you simply create a reference to the script that holds your method.

[junior ether]

how to creat that reference?

[frail hawk]

[SerializeField] Scriptname scriptname; //assing the script via inspector and you can acces the method with
scriptname.yourmethod()

[rancid badger]

hello, i am trying to add a pause menu using dotween

public void OnPauseButtonPressed()
    {
        isPaused = !isPaused;
        Time.timeScale = isPaused ? 0f : 1f;

        if (isPaused)
        {
            pausePanel.SetActive(true);
            blockingPanel.SetActive(true);
            pausePanelRect.DOScale(originalScale, animationDuration)
                .SetEase(Ease.OutBack)
                .SetUpdate(true);
        }
        else
        {
            pausePanelRect.DOScale(Vector3.zero, animationDuration)
                .SetEase(Ease.InBack)
                .SetUpdate(true)
                .OnComplete(() =>
                {
                    pausePanel.SetActive(false);
                    blockingPanel.SetActive(false);
                });
        }
    }

the pause works, when i unpause animation plays but then panels are not deactivated and timescale doesnt change, any idea what im doing wrong?

[frail hawk]

first and easiest thing would be to log the isPaused boolean.

see if it behaves as intended. you could also use debug log inside the if statements to see if these are being reached

[shy kite]

How can i make it so in a 2d game, the camera smoothly follows the player. When i directly change the x and y position of the cam to the one of the player, it's shakey, even when using SmoothDamp. When in the scene, i set the camera to inherit and follow the player, it doesn't shake but i cannot control the lag the camera moves to follow the player

How would i go about it?

[naive pawn]

make sure you're moving the camera in LateUpdate, after the player has moved

[shy kite]

yup, that was the saving grace not the offset, thanks

[cosmic dagger]

check under the General tab from the pinned messages . . .

[cosmic dagger]

you're trying to set the camera during the same frame the player is moving. there is no way to determine if the camera or the player Update runs first. LateUpdate runs after every Update, ensuring the player has finished moving before updating the camera . . .

[midnight jolt]

Hello everyone.

While my code does work, I'm seeking a more elegant solution.
My code thus far:

initialPanel.transform.GetChild(1).GetChild(0).GetComponent<Button>().interactable = hover;
initialPanel.transform.GetChild(1).GetChild(1).GetComponent<Button>().interactable = hover;
add.transform.GetChild(1).GetChild(0).GetComponent<Button>().interactable = hover;
add.transform.GetChild(1).GetChild(1).GetComponent<Button>().interactable = hover;```

Sure, I could add separate GameObjects to each button but it's worth mentioning that I'm also performing operations on the button's (gameobject's) parent:

```cs
infoPanel.SetActive(true);
initialPanel.SetActive(true);
add.SetActive(false);```

So I would have 5 seperate GameObjects. Surely there must be a better way?

(the first .GetChild(1) fetches the parent of the button)

[swift crag]

Oh noooooooooooooooooo

[midnight jolt]

ik im sorry 😭

[swift crag]

hey I used to do this too

It looks like have two buttons you need to modify

[midnight jolt]

Indeed

[swift crag]

You should just refer to them directly

[SerializeField] private Button fooButton;

As an example: if you're making a little popup dialog window, you might have this

public class PopupWindow : MonoBehaviour {
  [SerializeField] private Button okButton;

  void Awake() {
    okButton.onClick.AddListener(Close);
  }

  void Close() {
    Destroy(gameObject);
  }
}

the window would also have methods to actually..show text to the player, of course

[shy kite]

gotcha

[naive pawn]

there is no way to determine if the camera or the player Update runs first.
script execution order

[languid spire]

So why would you advise only doing half the job via the inspector? What's wrong with setting the onclick event there as well?

[swift crag]

In this case, you might as well just add the listener in the inspector, yes

But then there would be no need for a Button reference at all 😉

and the example vanishes in a puff of logic

[midnight jolt]

unless you need to modify it's properties, like in my case

[swift crag]

True. You're setting the interactable property there

[cosmic dagger]

that's manually forcing the order; by default, there is no determination . . .

[midnight jolt]

Anyhow, thanks. I'm trying to keep my code clean before it's too late 😆

[swift crag]

In general, you should prefer explicit references

If you're instantiating a prefab, give it a component that holds the references you need

and reference the prefab as that type, rather than as a GameObject

You'll often start out with a dumb "bag of references" that later gains its own functionality

[cosmic dagger]

you should not manually set the order for all of your scripts to ensure one starts before the other . . .

[burnt vapor]

On top of that, using LateUpdate in general is bad design

The whole point of LateUpdate was actually for the camera, but imagine if something else now requires to be executed after the camera

It's strict and cumbersome to work with. Better to make your own system of invokations if you need to invoke in order

[swift crag]

It is useful as a "post-animator" step

[burnt vapor]

I suppose I do think way ahead with the whole "don't use LateUpdate" remark but I really dislike when something is limiting my code like that

[swift crag]

I run stuff there (with a very late script execution order) so that I can access the positions of objects once animation and IK have been applied

[frail hawk]

tbh i never had any case where i had to use LateUpdate

[swift crag]

I only really run a "ticker" component whose sole job is to tell other components to run

I also have to make sure Cinemachine updates after this, because I need to move some targets into their final positions

it's a dependency graph!

game logic <- animator updates <- IK <- spline manipulations (i have splines whose knots are parented to things that are animated) <- camera update

I am working to get rid of evil stuff, like embedding packages solely so I can edit their script execution orders

(and replacing that with manual execution)

[midnight jolt]

So uh, @swift crag , is this better? 😭

[SerializeField] private GameObject infoPanel;
[SerializeField] private GameObject initialPanel;
[SerializeField] private GameObject add;
[SerializeField] private Button properties;
[SerializeField] private Button delete;
[SerializeField] private Button element;
[SerializeField] private Button compound;
[SerializeField] private TextMeshProUGUI title;```

instead of accessing each child

[swift crag]

Ideally "infoPanel" and "initialPanel" would have custom component types on them that hold more references

[midnight jolt]

I tried using Panel but unity game me the finger. It's an UI element, perhaps it's just an image

[swift crag]

"Panel" isn't a component type

it's just one of the "templates" you can add through the GameObject menu

[midnight jolt]

Sorry 😭 A bit rusty after a year long break

[swift crag]

I used to think panels were somehow special :p

[midnight jolt]

Ok yeah got it to work now

Thanks again

Alright. It's Christmas Dinner time. I wish you merry christmas and no bugs in your games!!

[sterile radish]

hi, im making a doodle jump clone and i want to add spring and jetpacks on certain platforms. i want the jetpacks to be rarer than the springs, so i made their chances to spawn 2.5% and 5% respectively. however when i roll a random number to spawn them, if i roll a jetpack, it's already smaller than the spring's chance so it will spawn both of them on the platform. how can i fix this?

https://hastebin.skyra.pw/ukiqulewis.pgsql

[swift crag]

If all of the odds add up to less than 100% (as one would hope), you can subtract each one from the result and see if your random value is now less <= 0

so, for example: if your random value is 0.06 and the first chance is 0.025, you subtract that to get 0.035

this is more than zero, so that event doesn't happen

then you subtract 0.05 for a 5%-chance event, giving you -0.015

this is <= 0, so this event happens and you stop

[naive pawn]

(in your case, you could say you have a 92.5% chance to not get anything)

this is if you are choosing a random choice

if instead, they are separate events, you would use 2 random values for each event, leading to a 0.125% chance to get both

[frank sigil]

There's more than one way to make this happen, and some cleaner approaches, for a quick an dirty fix you can approach it like this without changing much of your initial code. But there's a mathematical problem with this.

public void AddGoodies(GameObject spawnedPlatform)
{
        float random = Random.value;

        GameObject thingToSpawn = null;
        Vector3 spawnPosition = Vector3.zero;

        if (random < (springChance / 100))
        {
                spawnPosition = spawnedPlatform.transform.position + new Vector3(Random.Range(-spawnedPlatform.GetComponent<SpriteRenderer>().bounds.size.x / 2 * 0.8f, spawnedPlatform.GetComponent<SpriteRenderer>().bounds.size.x / 2 * 0.8f), spawnedPlatform.GetComponent<SpriteRenderer>().bounds.size.y / 2, 0);
                thingToSpawn = spring;
        }

        if (random < (jetpackChance / 100))
        {
                spawnPosition = spawnedPlatform.transform.position + new Vector3(Random.Range(-spawnedPlatform.GetComponent<SpriteRenderer>().bounds.size.x / 2 * 0.8f, spawnedPlatform.GetComponent<SpriteRenderer>().bounds.size.x / 2 * 0.8f), spawnedPlatform.GetComponent<SpriteRenderer>().bounds.size.y / 2, 0);
                thingToSpawn = jetpack;

        }
        if (thingToSpawn != null)
        {
                Instantiate(thingToSpawn, spawnPosition, Quaternion.identity);
        }
}

The problem with the approach you have is if spring has 5% and jetpack has 2.5%, but they use the same random number. so 5% of the jetpack is always gonna be result to spring to spawn so it's equal to not spawning the spring which in reality decreases the chance of the spring the spawn by the possibly of the jetpack which will result to 5 - 2.5 = 2.5 so spring will also have 2.5% chance to spawn in reality.

[naive pawn]

btw you should probably store spawnedPlatform.GetComponent<SpriteRenderer>().bounds.size in a variable, it'd make the code a lot more concise

[sterile radish]

sorry, im a bit confused with this approach, what is the point of "jetpackPosition"?

[swift crag]

Even better: spawnedPlatform should be a Platform, not a GameObject

you'd create a Platform component that can tell you where a spawned item should go

so that this code would never touch a SpriteRenderer at all

[frank sigil]

Oh I forgot to adjust it one second.

[trail gulch]

hi
whats the easiest way to paint on a 3d object?

[swift crag]

are you asking how to do this at runtime (in-game) or while creating assets for your game?

[frank sigil]

I fixed the code ^^
Instantiating needs a position to spawn the object on, we make a temporary one (Vector3.zero) and then assign the actual value if we the condition is met to spawn the thing.

[trail gulch]

at runtime

// Write black pixels onto the GameObject that is located
// by the script. The script is attached to the camera.
// Determine where the collider hits and modify the texture at that point.
//
// Note that the MeshCollider on the GameObject must have Convex turned off. This allows
// concave GameObjects to be included in collision in this example.
//
// Also to allow the texture to be updated by mouse button clicks it must have the Read/Write
// Enabled option set to true in its Advanced import settings.

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class ExampleClass : MonoBehaviour
{
    public Camera cam;

    void Start()
    {
        cam = GetComponent<Camera>();
    }

    void Update()
    {
        if (!Input.GetMouseButton(0))
            return;

        RaycastHit hit;
        if (!Physics.Raycast(cam.ScreenPointToRay(Input.mousePosition), out hit))
            return;

        Renderer rend = hit.transform.GetComponent<Renderer>();
        MeshCollider meshCollider = hit.collider as MeshCollider;

        if (rend == null || rend.sharedMaterial == null || rend.sharedMaterial.mainTexture == null || meshCollider == null)
            return;

        Texture2D tex = rend.material.mainTexture as Texture2D;
        Vector2 pixelUV = hit.textureCoord;
        pixelUV.x *= tex.width;
        pixelUV.y *= tex.height;

        tex.SetPixel((int)pixelUV.x, (int)pixelUV.y, Color.black);
        tex.Apply();
    }
}

i tried this from the docs
but is not working, and i checked everything
no errors, but is not painting

Wouldn't this would suffice the functionality you want?

GetComponent<Renderer>().material.color = theColorYouWant;

[swift crag]

that would tint the entire material

[swift crag]

you should do some basic debugging -- check if the resulting pixel values make any senes, for example

If the texture isn't read/write enabled then this won't do anything

[trail gulch]

i enabled that

[frank sigil]

Ah right.

[frank sigil]

Though are you using urp, hdrp or built-in?

[trail gulch]

hm i dont know, how do i check that?
i only changed the to hurp one because everyhing that i imported was pink

i think i need something here

[swift crag]

you may have installed the HDRP package, but that wouldn't do anything on its own

(and you should not be trying to switch render pipelines on a whim!)

[trail gulch]

ok, i was about to mess things up

[final kestrel]

Hi all. What is the best way to pass around an object of a plain c# class to modify it from other scripts?

[swift crag]

just...pass a reference as usual?

you can't serialize a reference in the inspector because your class is not a kind of unity object, of course

[cosmic dagger]

pass it normally, like an argument in a method . . .

[cosmic quail]

if you want to pass it in the inspector you can make it a scriptable object

[cosmic dagger]

should other scripts modify it, or call method on the enclosing script (where the C# instance exists) to modify it?

[final kestrel]

Like say I have a monster class and create monster1 in a script. I want to access that monster1 instance from another script. I'm asking what is the way to do it.

[swift crag]

what is "another script"?

are you talking about components attached to game objects here?

[final kestrel]

MonsterManager to increase or decrease health for example

[swift crag]

I don't understand why you're asking this question. You give the object to whoever needs it

Maybe you're trying to figure out how to find the second component..?

the one that needs to be given the monster object?

[cosmic quail]

why not just a Health component on each of your monsters?

[swift crag]

Monster is not a kind of unity object

[final kestrel]

yeah nope. Its just a c# class. I got a bit confused here. I'll come back once I figure what got me confused 🙂 thanks

[fervent abyss]

guys can somebody help me with this. i actually have no idea how to stop this flipping effect

[surreal zephyr]

hey how do I make a pause in the middle of a loop

[cosmic dagger]

place everything in a coroutine . . .

pause inside the coroutine . . .

[surreal zephyr]

alright thanks

[fervent abyss]

theres no way its this hard

[lone barn]

I'm having issues with MonoBehavior.OnGUI. If I take an snippet from the official documentation, Unity only renders button shapes and complains with "Can't Generate Mesh, No Font Asset has been assigned"

I think I'm missing a setting here, but I've searched for a bit and can't seem to find where I could specify a font

[swift crag]

I had a problem with this on my Steam Deck

for whatever reason there was just..no font

I wound up stuffing this into an OnGUI method

if (!fontInitialized)
{
    GUI.skin.font = font;
    GUI.skin.GetStyle("Toggle").font = font;
    GUI.skin.GetStyle("Label").font = font;

    fontInitialized = true;
}

where font is a field holding a Font object

[lone barn]

thanks a lot, this fixes my issue, I wonder why he is not able to reach the default font

[swift crag]

I'm not sure why it happened on my Deck either :p

[vocal orchid]

How can move a gameobject that have a rigibody kinemactic?

[surreal zephyr]

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

public class MovingThings : MonoBehaviour
{
public GameObject Target2;
public float WaitTime;
public GameObject Target;
public float Speed;
// happen at game start

}

//Constant load
void Update()
{
    {
        {
            //everything that has a wait time
            StartCoroutine(Wait());
        }
        IEnumerator Wait()
        {
            for (int i = 0; i < 10;)
            {
                //moves to point 1
                transform.position = Vector3.MoveTowards(transform.position, Target.transform.position, Speed * Time.deltaTime);
                yield return new WaitForSeconds(WaitTime);
                //moves to point 2
                transform.position = Vector3.MoveTowards(transform.position, Target2.transform.position, Speed * Time.deltaTime);
            }
        }   
        
    }
}

}

why isnt it going back and forth between the 2 game objects

[slender nymph]

MoveTowards does not happen over time, you need to call it each frame for the duration of your move. also you're starting the coroutine potentially hundreds of times

[swift crag]

MoveTowards computes a position that's closer to the destination. That's all it does.

[rocky canyon]

PingPong would go back and forth

[swift crag]

It does not, inherently, cause something to slowly move

[surreal zephyr]

what would I replace Move towards with then

[swift crag]

Perhaps you want to repeatedly move towards the target until you're close enough

you're only moving once, which doesn't make any sense

[rocky canyon]

    void Update()
    {
        float time = Mathf.PingPong(Time.time * Speed,1); // value between 0 - 1
        transform.position = Vector3.Lerp(Target1.transform.position,Target2.transform.position,time);
    }``` maybe pingpong w/ lerp is what u want..
im just basing it off of 
> why isnt it going back and forth between the 2 game objects

[surreal zephyr]

Yes that is exactly what I wanted thank you

[wispy coral]

is it allowed in the rules to post a snippet of code i dont understand how it works and someone explaining it?

because i just followed a tutorial for a fps camera controller and i have no idea how it works

[frosty hound]

You can, but if watching the tutorial it's from wasn't enough to explain it, I'm not sure how anyone can help by reiterating it. But you can try.

[wispy coral]

alright thanks

{ 

    lookleftright = Input.GetAxisRaw("Mouse X") * sensX * Time.deltaTime;
    lookUpDown = Input.GetAxisRaw("Mouse Y") * sensY * Time.deltaTime;

    xRotation -= lookUpDown;
    xRotation = Mathf.Clamp(xRotation, -90, 90);

    transform.localRotation = Quaternion.Euler(xRotation, 0, 0);



}```

i followed a brackeys tutorial for this and im not really sure whats going on, and also the rotation on the y axis is not working

where i get the input?

[slender nymph]

don't multiply mouse input by deltaTime, it is already frame rate independent so by doing that multiplication you end up with stuttery camera controls that are dependent on the framerate again

[frail hawk]

sry it is actually right

[wispy coral]

got it thanks

[slender nymph]

as for why rotation around the Y axis isn't working, that is likely due to you not actually rotating anything about the Y axis currently

[slender nymph]

oh and when removing that multiplication you'll need to reduce your sensitivity variables by a factor of like 100

[wispy coral]

so should i add a transform.localRotation = Quaternion.Euler(0 ,xRotation, 0);?

[slender nymph]

no because that would be incorrect

why don't you pay attention to the tutorial and find out what the tutorial expects you to do for rotation around the Y axis

[wispy coral]

alright

found out the problem, thanks

but the single thing i dont understand is why the xRotation -= lookUpDown;

[slender nymph]

because you want to accumulate the rotation so that it can be correctly clamped, so it has a variable that stores that accumulation which you then add or subtract the mouse's up/down movement to actually perform the accumulation

[wispy coral]

ok ok got it

thanks

[frail hawk]

if you are only learning it is fine but if you plan to implement it into your game you should probably look into the new input system instead

[wispy coral]

where can i investigate that

[slender nymph]

there's documentation pinned in #🖱️┃input-system to learn how to use it. if you are just starting out and following tutorials, then just stick to the tutorials. though you would be much better off by following a structured course rather than random tutorials made by people who barely know what they are doing

[stark crown]

does anybody here code malbolge like me?

[slender nymph]

this is a unity server with no off topic allowed

[stark crown]

just wondering

thats not off topic

this is a channel about coding and i asked a simple question

[slender nymph]

it's an esoteric language that has nothing to do with unity. it is off topic.

[stark crown]

i mean both of em use code so i dont know the problem

[slender nymph]

has nothing to do with unity

[stark crown]

also could you teach me c#

[slender nymph]

no, there are beginner c# courses pinned in this channel

[stark crown]

alright thanks

[azure nest]

ey can someone help me out ? im trying to show the name/tag of every game object. currently im iterating through every gameobject in the scene with a foreach loop and outputting it to the screen with w2s and a gui label, but its EXTREMELY laggy because of how im iterating through every single game object every frame. is there a faster way to do this?

idk how else to get every game object without just iterating through every single one

[frail hawk]

you could simply cache the gameobjects in an array or list of gameObjects.

what are you trying to achive actually

[azure nest]

idk, im just messing around with this singleplayer game out of curiousity.

woulddnt i still have to iterate through it with a foreach loop?

[slender nymph]

modding discussions are not permitted here

[azure nest]

oh

sorry ;x

[waxen adder]

I have a base class called "Ability". With my knowledge at the moment, if I were to make a new ability, I would have to create a whole new c# script to define a new ability that extends the "Ability" base class. Sounds alright for now, but what if I wanted to define 5 new abilities? 10? 30? 100? The amount of script spam in my project just for abilities seems like it would be intense. Anyone have a better idea on what to do here?

[slender nymph]

well it depends, if these abilities do the same thing but with different stats, then it's just a matter of reusing the same objects and assigning different stats to them. but if they need different behavior then yes, you will need to write new code for that behavior. this is expected

it is also not "script spam" to have many scripts that do different things. that is how it should work

[waxen adder]

Makes sense. I suppose if I were really concerned about my organization, I could put all these abilities into different folders

[swift crag]

you should write new code when you do a fundamentally new thing

"Abilities" are a very common pain point -- you want to re-use many aspects (like "shoot a projectile" or "affect an area"), but it can be very difficult to make these behaviors reusable

[obsidian plaza]

maybe just different types of abilities with different stats. For example AoE with different radius and damages. Then point and click abilities with different ranges and sizes

[acoustic sequoia]

Your mentality about the situation is good, but I don’t think it matters if you have 100 different ability scripts. The only problem with that is probably organizing them. Performance is nothing to worry about with that. Literally makes no difference. But you also could just make your 100 scripts messy and it wouldn’t change anything about your game either.

What we are comparing here is the difference between a well organized project and a not organized project.

One of which will allow you to make changes or add new abilities in a much easier/efficient way subjectively

[silk meteor]

you could create all your abilities in one script, and then reference them from that script

[acoustic sequoia]

What I would do is categorize all your abilities into notepad find out how many of those abilities are actually performing different actions, which is probably only like 5-10 from the 100 abilities.

Then you can make scriptable objects for each ability with like an enum that points to which “type” of ability it is so it can attach the correct script to it.

But there will always be new code that you will need to write for each ability. So what’s the point or creating only 5 scripts for 100 abilities and scriptable objects? Simply to make “adding” a new ability easier. That’s it

Okk

[robust condor]

Anyone use a global EventBus or just rely on C# events?

[stark rune]

https://hastebin.skyra.pw/qevoqeveqa.pgsql why does this not work ?

the object its supposed to hit has a collider and has the tag fuel onn it

[slender nymph]

have you configured that code is actually running?

after you confirm it runs, double check your parameters

[stark rune]

the raycast functrion doesnt work i tried debugging it was showing

[slender nymph]

please re-read my messages again

[stark rune]

i mean wasnt my bad

oh yeah it is

[stark rune]

the code is running

[slender nymph]

okay so now read the second message

[stark rune]

yea i double checked

[slender nymph]

so you think the parameters are correct then?

[stark rune]

i think probably

[slender nymph]

instead of assuming, you should consider actually looking at your code and the documentation https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.0/Documentation/ScriptReference/Physics.Raycast.html

[stark rune]

ok checked dont work

[slender nymph]

so based on the documentation and your code, what do you think might be wrong?

[stark rune]

propably the fuel collecting function

[stark rune]

because it keeps on saying doesnt hit even when i am left clicking while looking at fuel

[slender nymph]

alright, you've clearly not bothered actually reading anything that has been said so i'm out. good luck.

[stark rune]

what yes i have

[slender nymph]

so then what is wrong with the parameters you've used for the raycast method

[swift crag]

because there is, 100%, a problem with the parameters you've passed to Physics.Raycast

[stark rune]

oh wait i know whats wrong i forgot to do PlayerCam.transform.position instead of just transform.position

[slender nymph]

no

[stark rune]

ty btw

[stark rune]

well it worked

[slender nymph]

your Ray and your Physics.Raycast call were entirely separate and had nothing to do with each other

[stark rune]

oh ok thx for helping me btw

[slender nymph]

if it is working now, then you've changed more than just the parameters for the Ray constructor because, again, that has nothing at all to do with your Physics.Raycast since you weren't using the Ray anywhere

[stark rune]

oh yeah i might have actually look

https://hastebin.skyra.pw/iqavanipab.pgsql

[slender nymph]

yeah, you're actually using the ray now which means the parameters for Physics.Raycast are correct. but you can make the ray a local variable again and just construct it on the line before the Raycast like you were doing before

it will work provided you're still using the correct parameters for it

[stark rune]

oh ok ty

[wispy coral]

could someone explain to me like im 5 what serializing is and what its for?

[zenith cypress]

Serializing is basically saving a piece of information so you can use it later.

Say you want to have a timer on screen that counts up. That's cool, but what if the player turns off the game? Then the timer would be 0 when they open it back up! This is where serialization comes in.

You can take your timer number (typically a float/double for seconds) and save that to a file. Can be JSON, just the raw number, or some other format, PlayerPrefs, it doesn't matter. Then when the player loads up the game again, you can take that file, read it, then turn it back into your timer number (this is deserialization). And voila, the timer starts from where it was!

Unity does this for all of its assets as well. You can open any .asset and view their contents, which are typically in the YAML text format.

tldr;
Serialization: data -> savable format
Deserialization: savable format -> data

[swift crag]

https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.0/Documentation/Manual/script-serialization-how-unity-uses.html

[wispy coral]

holy, thanks so much!

actually understood pretty well

[swift crag]

just adding some extra context :p

[wispy coral]

also thanks!

[waxen pendant]

I am trying to raycast a surface to get its slope, but raycast doesnt hit at all
Physics.Raycast(transform.position, Vector3.down, out hit, 1.5f)

On drawing a debug line, it does go through the surface Debug.DrawRay(transform.position, Vector3.down*1.5f, Color.red);

[swift crag]

It's probably starting underground.

Consider backing the ray up a little

[waxen pendant]

so have a -y in starting position?

[timber tide]

Yeah if it starts inside of the collider it wont detect it at all

[swift crag]

subtract a bit of the direction vector

in this case, since you're using Vector3.down, you'd subtract, say, Vector3.down * 0.1f

[waxen pendant]

yup that worked. thanks

spent an hour trying to figure what was going wrong lol, and it was this simple thing

even chatgpt didnt suggest that

[wispy coral]

anyone know why with the new imput manager you need alot of speed to move something? or is it just me

[cosmic dagger]

that's not correct . . .

[swift crag]

have you looked at the values you're getting?

e.g. just log the number that the input action is giving you

[wispy coral]

let me try that

[cosmic dagger]

probably a setup issue to retrieve the value. what is your default speed, and are you scaling it?

[wispy coral]

im using rigidbodies and using 10 as default, also using deltatime

[swift crag]

show us the code you are using

but I'm going to take a wild guess

[wispy coral]

just a sec

alright give it a shot

[swift crag]

rb.AddForce(10 * input * Time.deltaTime);

this would be wrong

[cosmic dagger]

deltaTime is the problem . . .

[wispy coral]

ohh

i see

[swift crag]

AddForce represents a continuous force

You tell it how hard you're pushing

(at least, it does in the default force mode!)

[cosmic dagger]

you don't need to use deltaTime with physics movement. it's already implied in the calculation . . .

[swift crag]

This would be more correct if you were doing rb.AddForce(whatever, ForceMode.Impulse) -- in that case, you're telling it how hard you're hitting the object instantaneously

[wispy coral]

will it still be non fps dependent?

[swift crag]

But at that point, just use the normal force mode and don't try to include deltaTime :p

[wispy coral]

got it

[swift crag]

deltaTime is not a magic "fix" for framerate dependency

you don't just use it to make your code correct!

It's used to convert a rate into an amount

[wispy coral]

they always make it seem like it, its crazy

[swift crag]

transform.position += Vector3.right * Time.deltaTime;

This treats Vector3.right as a velocity. I convert it to a distance by multiplying it by deltaTime

rb.velocity = Vector3.right * Time.deltaTime;

This is wrong. A velocity is a velocity.

[cosmic dagger]

yes. the physics step runs at a constant rate, not based on a variable rate (deltaTime) like with Update . . .

[swift crag]

Multiplying by deltaTime implies we want to turn it into a distance, but that's bogus

[night mural]

this video is a good explainer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yGhfUcPjXuE

[swift crag]

well, beyond that, it's just completely wrong to multiply a force by deltaTime and then pass it to AddForce with the default force mode

It's true that FixedUpdate runs at a...fixed rate

but forgetting deltaTime in there also produces errors (by making everything 50 times faster than it's supposed to be, by defualt)

rb.velocity += Vector3.right;

This is extremely wrong in Update and also very wrong in FixedUpdate

In the former, the acceleration is framerate-dependent. In the latter, you're accelerating at 50 m/s^2

[cosmic dagger]

oh, for sure. at that point, you're multiplying it twice; hence, why their number had to be huge in order to work . . .

[swift crag]

(and if you change the physics timestep, then the behavior changes)

Similar note: Do not multiply mouse input by deltaTime

It's already an absolute amount of change

[wispy coral]

well now i know that delta time isnt the magic solution i once thought it was

[cosmic dagger]

this one happens a lot . . .

[wispy coral]

and i now have another issue

{
    Vector2 movement0 = inputValue.Get<Vector2>();
    Vector3 movement = new Vector3(movement0.x, 0, movement0.y);
    rb.AddForce(movement * speed);
    Debug.Log(inputValue.Get<Vector2>());
}```

i tried making a simple movement script but when i press a key to move the value of the force of the rigid body does not change even when the input is 0

[swift crag]

OnMove is called when the input value changes

[wispy coral]

oh i didnt know that at all

[swift crag]

I presume you're using a PlayerInput component here?

[wispy coral]

yeah

[swift crag]

You can leave that in place, but I'd suggest using an InputActionReference for contiuous values. It makes things very simple

[SerializeField] private InputActionReference moveActionRef;

assign the appropriate action in the inspector

and now you can just

moveActionRef.action.ReadValue<Vector2>()

wherever you need the value

[wispy coral]

alright

so add those two things then?

[swift crag]

the first line is a field to add to your class

[wispy coral]

i see

[wispy coral]

so i put this line on the OnMove function?

im a little confused here

[swift crag]

No. As I said, OnMove is only called when the value changes.

[wispy coral]

oh yeah my bad

[swift crag]

(by "that" I meant the PlayerInput component)

Just read the value when you need it.

At this point it's identical to how you'd use the old Input Manager

Input.GetAxisRaw("Florp");
florpRef.action.ReadValue<float>();

same premise

[wispy coral]

alright ok, still a bit bamboozled but ill try that and see where it goes

[swift crag]

I mostly use InputActionReference in my game. I find it to be very convenient

Especially if I might need to configure which action is used

i can just throw whatever action I want in there

I directly reference the action that I care about; there are no magic strings

[wispy coral]

i think im starting to get it

moveActionRef.action.ReadValue<Vector2>() to get the input and just in the update function use it basically as the old input system

[swift crag]

Right.

[wispy coral]

nice

[swift crag]

input actions can have many kinds of bindings, and these bindings can have special interactions and processors attached to affect the values

I made a custom processor for sensitivity settings. I don't have to deal with sensitivity at all in my game code

the value that comes out of the action is the correct value, always

[wispy coral]

so thats what makes the new input system so customizable

i see

[swift crag]

I can also figure out exactly what controls are required to trigger an action, so I can display control hints

it's pretty handy

[wispy coral]

well ill have to get adapted to the new one but i think itll definitely be an upgrade

thanks btw

just tested the code and it worked flawlessly

thanks again

[robust condor]

I need an array or list in the inspector that can enforce prefabs of a particular interface, is it possible?

[swift crag]

You can't serialize interface types, unfortunately

https://github.com/Thundernerd/Unity3D-SerializableInterface is a close approximation -- it stores an Object, but it gives you a UI to pick objects that implement the desired interface

[robust condor]

I have Odin, can it do it?

What if I use inheritence instead?

[swift crag]

I don't know about Odin

[swift crag]

do you mean creating an abstract class? if so, yes

[robust condor]

The prefab doesn't remember the references

When I drag it from hierarchy to project

[cosmic dagger]

a prefab cannot reference scene objects . . .

[robust condor]

It's other prefabs

[cosmic dagger]

are they in the scene?

[robust condor]

Oh the little dot only looks in the scene, I thought it searched the entire project

[cosmic dagger]

prefabs can reference other prefabs, but only in the project folder . . .

[wispy coral]

can you get rid of the automatic comments that unity creates after making a new script?

[west radish]

There's a template in the unity program files directory

[wispy coral]

thanks

[west radish]

On my phone so I can't say where exactly

[wispy coral]

dont worry ill find it

[west radish]

But if you open it up in notepad, and make sure you have admin privileges on the notepad, you can change it to basically anything

It's quite useful

[wispy coral]

got it thanks

[west radish]

I wish Unity would make it more obvious that it's something you can actually do

[wispy coral]

same, i got tired of deleting the comments so i just stopped and my code looked like a mess

[west radish]

I feel like a lot of people never realise they can save themselves the time of deleting the prewritten text 😆

Same in Blender, you can change the startup project to no longer have that cube

[wispy coral]

i like the cube tho so for me it will stay

[swift crag]

if i didn't have the cube, how would i delete something before i start working?

[wispy coral]

exactly

its the ritual of every new project

its like if unity didnt have the light, camera and the volume

[west radish]

One of the first things I ever did was banish the cube

What you should do is make a default donut in the startup project

[wispy coral]

thats better actually

and kinda funny too

[west radish]

Right??

[wispy coral]

yeahh, honestly the cube has become like a mascot

its synonymous with a new project so thats why i always like having it there, then of course delete it afterwards

i sometimes just do almost everything based off the cube

[silk meteor]

if i instantiate an object, do all the scripts within it execute the Start() method, or is that during the start of the game

[wispy coral]

every time you make a clone it will run the script of the clone again

if im not mistaken

[timber tide]

Start() runs before update

Awake() would happen on instantiation

[silk meteor]

I'm making a script for death and respawning, and on the Start method i have this code, so i was wondering if i instantiate the object as another object, would it rerun the script?

[silk meteor]

okay, thanks

[silk meteor]

(i just noticed the max stamina twice)

[polar acorn]

Start runs on every component on every object on the first frame it exists for, right before running Update

[silk meteor]

ah, thanks

so im having another issue i have this death method, alongside a coroutine, however the coroutine won't start because the player isn't active, is there a way around this?

    public void Die()
    {
        if (deathAnimation != null)
        {
            deathAnimation.Play();
        }

        gameObject.SetActive(false);

        IsAlive = false;

        if (shouldRespawn)
        {
            StartCoroutine(RespawnAfterDelay());
        }
    }

    private IEnumerator RespawnAfterDelay()
    {
        yield return new WaitForSecondsRealtime(deadTime);

        transform.position = respawnLocation;
        gameObject.SetActive(true);

        if (respawnAnimation != null)
        {
            respawnAnimation.Play();
        }

        IsAlive = true;
    }```

[teal viper]

Either don't use a coroutine or start it on a different active object.

[silk meteor]

how could i do it without a coroutine?

[teal viper]

Async await would work regardless of whether the object is active. Though, I wouldn't recommend it if you haven't dealt with async until now.

[silk meteor]

I have, just not in CS

[teal viper]

Ideally, in this scenario you'd have some kind of manager (gamManager?) take care of this kind of logic.

[silk meteor]

hm, well ill do some research into async await and see what i get

[teal viper]

gameManager.EnqueueRessurect(this) or something. And the GameManager would start a coroutine on itself for example.

Or add the player to a queue with a timestamp. And check it in update.

There are many ways to implement it, but the key is that it would be managed outside the player.

At least the waiting is. After the waiting duration is done, the GameManager could call a Ressurect method on the correct player for it to handle the resurrection correctly.

[silk meteor]

okay i think i made it work with async await, but now im encountering some weird error, i didnt miss a semicolon anywhere, nor a brace

oh nvm

[nova kite]

it detects collision with the ground but not the obstacle

[cosmic dagger]

it's better to fix your original code instead of posting duplicate code . . .

[cosmic dagger]

make sure the obstacle is setup correctly to trigger a collision . .

[nova kite]

oh i just planned to delete that one lol

it is

the is trigger thingy is checked too

and it has the tag

[cosmic dagger]

it's a trigger but you're checking it in OnCollisionEnter . . .

[nova kite]

that's what the guy did in the Unity tutorial lol

[cosmic dagger]

are you sure? can you check again or post it?

[nova kite]

here

[cosmic dagger]

where does it tell you how to setup the obstacle?

[nova kite]

over many steps haha

[cosmic dagger]

that part is needed . . .

[nova kite]

ohh wait his "is trigger" is not checked

[cosmic dagger]

exactly . . .

i was waiting for that . . .

[nova kite]

wth now the fences are just flying off

XD

[cosmic dagger]

a trigger cannot be detected in a OnCollisionXXX method . . .

[nova kite]

how does the on collision detects stuff

with the box colission component?

like when two of those touch?

[wispy coral]

hey yall, im having problems with locking my cursor, it doesnt seem to work, should it be on the start method or the update method?

[wispy coral]

pretty much yeah ( in simple terms )

[cosmic dagger]

Introduction to collision . . .

[nova kite]

Why is this just flying off now😭

[wispy coral]

i think you put a rigidbody on it, its not supposed to have one

wait no nvm

[cosmic dagger]

probably based on how you setup the object . . .

[wispy coral]

ill check my file since i have done that same lesson

[nova kite]

🙏🏻🙏🏻

[nova kite]

In what way?

Like the components it has?

[cosmic dagger]

not sure; just like we did before, go back and read over the tutorial. you probably missed smth important . . .

[nova kite]

It all worked correctly until I tried detecting collision🥲

[wispy coral]

what was the problem you were having?

i have my own prototype here so maybe i can help

[nova kite]

The player colliding with the fence was not detected

Oh now it is!

But now the fences are flying off lol

Fix one bug get another damn that’s real😭

[wispy coral]

how is your rigidbody on your obstacle set up?

[nova kite]

at least it detected the colission now

[nova kite]

what does set up refer to

the components it has?

[wispy coral]

send a screenshot of the rigidbody component and its properties

[nova kite]

this?

[wispy coral]

i think i saw the issue

try scaling your box collider a bit down on the y axis

most likely that your fence is clipping into the ground while spawning

maybe thats causing the issue

[nova kite]

i tried with this but it still flies off🥲

[wispy coral]

huh thats strange

[cosmic dagger]

in the tutorial, where does it setup (create and configure) the obstacle in the editor? go to that section and start from the beginning. make sure you check everything again . . .

[nova kite]

he starts by putting it in the scene and then makes it a prefab

it looks identical

[cosmic dagger]

keep going through the whole section and check with what you have . . .

[wispy coral]

hmm this is quite something

you could also try locking the position and rotation of the fence's rigidbody

[nova kite]

It happens in the exact same place

[cosmic dagger]

then continue and see if they change/fix anything . . .

[nova kite]

I’m going over the tutorial again

But his works fine

At the point where I am

[wispy coral]

its best if you retake it and check everything twice

[nova kite]

I’ll go over it🥲

its all the same;-;

i even enabled kinematic and it fixed it but now they are falling forward

and i constrainst all 6 boxes and they still fall forward

[cosmic dagger]

placing a constraint on the rotation axis that controls its forward and back movement should not allow it to tip over . . .

[nova kite]

Exactly, why does it not behave like that lol

It’s all checked

[wispy coral]

yeah it should not be able to do that if all the boxes are checked

[wispy coral]

that is quite strange

[nova kite]

Is it related to modifying physics through a script

[wispy coral]

shouldn't be

but it is quite strange

maybe you could dm me the code from the scripts and compare i could it to mine to see if you have something going on

[nova kite]

It’s only 4 scripts so shouldn’t take too long!

I’ll do that😄

[undone inlet]

I am using Unity 2022, and I am trying to use the Init keyword, but I get the error:
"error CS0518: Predefined type 'System.Runtime.CompilerServices.IsExternalInit' is not defined or imported."

Here are the attempts I made to resolve this issue:

1. I tried modifying the Api Compatibility Level in Player Settings. There are two options: .NET Standard 2.1 and .NET Framework, but neither resolved the issue.
2. I tried upgrading to Unity 6000, but it seems the issue persists.
3. I searched for this issue and found that the init keyword is only supported in .NET 5, but I am not sure how to interpret this information.

copy it from another vid

idk i just can't realy learn from videos

is more like just copying

there are limitations with using record Unity. it's been a while so i'm trying to remember . . .

record has limitations in Unity. init only setters are unsupported (as well as other functions) . . .

[north kiln]

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

i wrote this from memory and now im stuck because i forgot the rest

3d third prespective

so i tried searching but i find nothing that will help me complete the code

[rich adder]

so whats wrong with it ?

[nova kite]

it doesnt work, player doesnt move

[rich adder]

you should combine that into 1 call
should work fine, depends on your rigidbody settings too

[naive pawn]

well if you're just memorizing a specific tutorial then you'd need to refind that specific tutorial
don't do that
understand what each part does, then you can just make everything as you want it

[nova kite]

i understand that it takes the horizontal input from the setting and then detects it and converts it into force applied on the rigid body component that is attached to the object

but if i need to search for the syntax how do i do that

how do i search for a specific syntax

[naive pawn]

what specific syntax?

[rich adder]

look up what problem you want to solve
code is just the tool to achieve that

[nova kite]

.AddForce(what to put here) for example

[naive pawn]

that's not syntax, that's just what the method takes

[nova kite]

i did, player movememnt, and it gave me a million different things

[naive pawn]

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Rigidbody.AddForce.html

[rich adder]

yeah because thats too vague..

[nova kite]

ohh!

[rich adder]

always consult the !docs

[eternal falcon]

Documentation

Get the most out of Unity Editor by accessing our documentation!

💻 API

📖 Manual

[nova kite]

hold on ill try and see if i can make it jump just from doccumentation

[rich adder]

it explains almost everything

https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/scripting-vectors.html

[nova kite]

because i have some problem with that too, i need to get used to that

i never find anything in doccumentation because i initially dont know what the function is called

[rich adder]

yeah there is a lot, normally you narrow down the methods in the API thru searching unity discussion/forum, google, stack overflow etc.

then use the docs to clarify how it works n all that

[nova kite]

if i want to find an answer in the add force doccumentation for why right now when i press right it goes left what should i look for

[rich adder]

thats something you need to start debugging as it might be unintended behavior

[nova kite]

i tried multiplying by -1 but it still does that

and that's all i got lol

[rich adder]

hmm I'm going to assume AddForce isn't local spaced

[naive pawn]

make sure you haven't scalled anything weirdly, and make sure your axes are set up correctly

[rich adder]

so you're applying force to World Vector3.right which is always fixed

[naive pawn]

docs say it's in world coords yeah

[rich adder]

doc always got the answers

[nova kite]

the ball is scaled 1 1 1 and positioned 0 0 0

and i set the scene to local

[rich adder]

you want your local right through transform.right or use InverseTransform

[naive pawn]

yeah transform.right should fix that, it converts local coords to world coords

[nova kite]

i multiply by that?

[naive pawn]

transform.forward too

[naive pawn]

replace Vector3.right with transform.right

[rich adder]

indeed, transform adapts to your local rotation

[cosmic dagger]

you're right, they have AddRelativeForce for that . . .

[rich adder]

ahh yeah forgot about that func

[nova kite]

now when i press right it moves back and forth tf XD

[rich adder]

lol . whats the current code

[nova kite]

using UnityEngine;

public class PlayerController : MonoBehaviour
{
    public float speed = 10.0f;
    public float jump = 10.0f;
    private Rigidbody playerRB;


    // Start is called once before the first execution of Update after the MonoBehaviour is created
    void Start()
    {
        playerRB = GetComponent<Rigidbody>();
    }

    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update()
    {
        float verticalInput = Input.GetAxis("Vertical");
        float horizontalInput = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal");

        playerRB.AddForce(transform.forward * speed * verticalInput);
        playerRB.AddForce(transform.right * speed * horizontalInput);
        
    }
}

[naive pawn]

could it perhaps be rolling and changing what direction "right" is

[rich adder]

also combine that into 1 AddForce call

[naive pawn]

if it shouldn't be rolling, make sure to constrain rotation on the rb

[cosmic dagger]

the first issue i see is the incorrect usage of AddForce in Update . . .

[rich adder]

also yeah that should be in FixedUpdate

[nova kite]

it was so much easier moving a character in the tutorials

is there a simpler way

i dont remember doing it like this

[rich adder]

which tutorial?

[nova kite]

the official unity one

any of them tbh

[rich adder]

which one

[naive pawn]

there are many ways

[nova kite]

it was just straight forward

[rich adder]

the unity intro ones use Translate

[naive pawn]

"simple" is kinda subjective

if you're thinking simple, maybe it was setting velocity?

[rich adder]

its not using physics and probably not rolling as was pointed out

[cosmic dagger]

if you move the code from Update to FixedUpdate it should work, no problem (unless the rigidbody is setup incorrectly . . .

[rich adder]

the ball is indeed rolling and changing local direction

[nova kite]

it didnt use velocity

[nova kite]

ohh

that makes sense

[nova kite]

ill try

[rich adder]

must lock the rigidbody rotation

[naive pawn]

see above ^

[nova kite]

he didnt say that in the lab video.. he said "you can just use primitive shapes and then change the model"

shouldve warned for unexpected behaviours haha

[rich adder]

send link of tutorial

[nova kite]

which one?

[rich adder]

idk you said the one that wasn't as complex movement

it probably used translate

[nova kite]

yup

translate.transform

[untold drift]

ive been stuck on trying to get a basic rigidbody jump working on unity for days

[rich adder]

translate just teleports the dam thing

[nova kite]

lol

[rich adder]

it doesnt care about walls etc.

[nova kite]

so it's a bad movement system?

[naive pawn]

not necessarily

depends on what you're going for

[nova kite]

but then you add the box collision no?

[rich adder]

depends, if you dont care about physics solid walls n stuff like that

[naive pawn]

sure, you would have to do it yourself

translate doesnt' care about physics

rigidbodies handle physics

[nova kite]

ohh so there are movement systems that have built in physics??

damn

[naive pawn]

yeah, rigidbody

[untold drift]

is there anyone thats willing to look at my work and give feedback?

[rich adder]

also Character Controller, its a quasi Physics object

[naive pawn]

not if you don't tell us what the issue is lol

gotta start with the details

see https://dontasktoask.com

[nova kite]

how do i make the ball not roll cuz if im gonna change the sprite later it shouldnt roll anyway

[naive pawn]

i told you how here @nova kite

[nova kite]

the constraints?

ohh

[rich adder]

rotation ones

[untold drift]

the rigidbody jump for a basic capsule on a plane wont work no matter what i try, i know very little so i dont know the best wording lol

[naive pawn]

define "wont work", and show what you're doing

[rich adder]

without code there is not even a clue to whats wrong

start with that, then show components setup

[naive pawn]

"doesn't work" doesn't give us any info to work with
is it not responding at all? is it giving an error message? is it responding, but not doing the thing you want it to?

[nova kite]

using UnityEngine;

public class PlayerController : MonoBehaviour
{
    public float speed = 10.0f;
    public float jump = 10.0f;
    private Rigidbody playerRB;


    // Start is called once before the first execution of Update after the MonoBehaviour is created
    void Start()
    {
        playerRB = GetComponent<Rigidbody>();
    }

    // Update is called once per frame
    void FixedUpdate()
    {
        float verticalInput = Input.GetAxis("Vertical");
        float horizontalInput = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal");

        playerRB.AddForce(transform.forward * speed * verticalInput);
        playerRB.AddForce(transform.right * speed * horizontalInput);
    }
}

this worked🥲

but this is exactly my problem i want to learn how to solve this on my own otherwise id need someone to spoon feed me on every little thing😫

[rich adder]

again should stillcombine that into 1 call

[nova kite]

how would i learn what you guys just taught me from documentation

[nova kite]

i tried and it broke haha

[naive pawn]

you probably wouldn't

you would learn from the manual or learn pathways instead

[nova kite]

what is pathways

[naive pawn]

documentation is a reference to supplement primary learning materials

[naive pawn]

the stuff on !learn

[eternal falcon]

:teacher: Unity Learn ↗

Over 750 hours of free live and on-demand learning content for all levels of experience!

[nova kite]

oh but they didnt even use that there

[naive pawn]

depends on the pathway

[nova kite]

they used the transform thigny

[untold drift]

Ok, so i asked chatgpt for help as i do use it for reference (im not a coder lol). I followed the instructions, included the needed code, the ground check in unity, and the rigidbody component in the inspector for the capsule. According to chatgpt this should give me everything i need to "jump" up and down with my capsule, but it simply does nothing when i input space. There's no error message, it's literally just no response. I'll pull up my code

[rich adder]

void FixedUpdate(){
       float verticalInput = Input.GetAxis("Vertical");
       float horizontalInput = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal");
       Vector3 direction = transform.forward * verticalInput +
       transform.right *  horizontalInput;
       playerRB.AddForce(direction * speed);
}```

[naive pawn]

could move speed outside

[rich adder]

tru

was being lazy lol

[nova kite]

what is var

oh

how did you know that this should be a Vector3

[naive pawn]

Vector3 direction = transform.forward * verticalInput + transform.right * horizontalInput;
direction.Normalize();
playerRB.AddForce(direction * speed);

[naive pawn]

it's a 3d structure

[untold drift]

actually nvm ill be back later maybe

[rich adder]

because thats what AddForce expects remember?

[naive pawn]

Vector3 is just a list of 3 floats

those 3 floats could represent anything; here, they represent cartesian coordinates

var replaces the type in a local variable declaration, for when the type is obvious from the initialization, so you don't have to repeat yourself (whether you prefer it or not is subjective)

[nova kite]

ohh this:?
Declaration
public void AddForce(float x, float y, float z, ForceMode mode = ForceMode.Force);

the first one is a vector3

[rich adder]

thats a different signature

[naive pawn]

we're using the first signature here

[rich adder]

but yes you can also use each float here, not all of them have such varied signatures

cc.Move() for example has no such signature

[nova kite]

then what tells you on the documentation that it expects a vector3 haha

[naive pawn]

the first signature

the one that says Vector3 in the parameter list

[rich adder]

it says force
Force vector in world coordinates.

Force is applied continuously along the direction of the force vector. Specifying the ForceMode mode allows the type of force to be changed to an Acceleration, Impulse or Velocity Change.
https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.0/Documentation/ScriptReference/Rigidbody.AddForce.html

[nova kite]

Declaration
public void AddForce(Vector3 force, ForceMode mode = ForceMode.Force);

yes so like the first is vector3

[rich adder]

yes that would be that signature

[nova kite]

hell yeah

okay im starting to get it i think

[rich adder]

= in signature method means it has a default value, here is to Force

[nova kite]

and then if you didnt know what that is youd read about that?

forceMode for example i dont know what that is so how do i know what it expects

[rich adder]

click the links

they are underlined

[naive pawn]

the second parameter, ForceMode mode, specifies what kind of force to apply, basically what quantity/dimension/unit force is in
the = sets a default, to Force, basically in newtons (though not exactly newtons since unity doesn't use meters/kilograms)

[nova kite]

ohh! and it takes you to that function's page

[rich adder]

ForceMode is not a function

wow thats big

[nova kite]

ohh

hahah

what is that word

lol

[naive pawn]

the duality of discord screenshots

either tiny or massive

[rich adder]

lol i shouldve made it wide af

[nova kite]

XDD

[naive pawn]

which word?

[nova kite]

enumeration

[rich adder]

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/language-reference/builtin-types/enum

[naive pawn]

"enumeration" is like a list of options

[rich adder]

thats basically a standard C# type

[nova kite]

oh enums!

[rich adder]

yes

[nova kite]

nvm i never saw the full word lmao

[naive pawn]

see the "enumerate" -> "numerate" -> "make into numbers"

more accurately it's just kinda listing them

https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/enumerate#Verb

[rich adder]

just fancy word for numbers with labels

[nova kite]

wait on the ForceMode page there is a huge block of code, how do you research that code to see what it expects

you just read all of it??

[naive pawn]

wdym "research that code"

[rich adder]

its just an example script, there is nothing to research

[naive pawn]

it has comments explaining what each part does

[nova kite]

in order to arrive to this conclusion

[naive pawn]

read the description

not the example code

[wispy coral]

how do i stop from sticking to walls if im in the air?

[naive pawn]

reduce friction perhaps

[nova kite]

ouu so the enum stores the 4 modes

[wispy coral]

make a material with 0 friction?

[naive pawn]

yeah

though if you do want it to have friction in some cases, you'd probably have to do more work

[wispy coral]

and what can i do if i need to stand on that thing ?

[rich adder]

wdym 4 modes?

[wispy coral]

i guessed so

[naive pawn]

(the 4 force modes)

[nova kite]

Impulse, Acceleration, Force, VelocityChange

[rich adder]

Ohhh forcemode

[nova kite]

oh 5 and start

[naive pawn]

friction wouldn't affect standing wdym

[rich adder]

yea that enum just has "human readable labels" the computer just sees a number
you can also assign different values but thats topic for another time lol

[wispy coral]

i meant moving on top of it sorry

would it be affected?

[naive pawn]

friction wouldn't affect moving, since you aren't literally pushing off of the ground in the game (for most implementations)

[nova kite]

wait so how do i know what it expects like for the force mode

[wispy coral]

got it

[nova kite]

i read the description

[rich adder]

it just expects ForceMode, which one you use depends on what kind of forcemode you want

the method just cares about the type in the signature

the value is up to you

[naive pawn]

but it could make the surface slippery when coming to a stop. you could set linear drag to compensate but you'd have to keep that in mind for other surfaces
if it's like, a rock that you want to have friction on one side (the top) and no friction on another (the side), then maybe you could set up separate colliders for that?

[nova kite]

and how do i know if it's a float or an int

[naive pawn]

@wispy coral

[nova kite]

like obviously its a float but im asking like in general

[naive pawn]

read the types in the declarations

[rich adder]

whats a float?

[nova kite]

it says rigidbody and vector3

[wispy coral]

probably will set up different colliders or just put a plane on top and call it a day

[nova kite]

like with the decimal point

double

[rich adder]

i know what float is, I'm asking you

[nova kite]

oh lol

[naive pawn]

then it neither expects an int nor a float, it expects those 2 types

[rich adder]

you said "float vs int"
like obviously its a float
so i asked "what is the float"

[naive pawn]

however, vector3 holds floats inside

[rich adder]

click Vector3

on addforce

[naive pawn]

(this is not quite the same as a float btw)

[nova kite]

im so confused hahahah

[rich adder]

float double decimal, we are not the same

[nova kite]

XD

[nova kite]

it can hold more numbers or something no?

[naive pawn]

it's a bit technical, yeah we can get to that later

it's along those lines, but a bit more nuanced

[rich adder]

mainly precision thing too

decimal being the most precise

but heavier

[naive pawn]

do you know how int and float differ semantically?

[nova kite]

on the Rigidbody.AddForce page it says that it needs a vector3 then a ForceMode

i got that much

but then in the example code it doesnt even include the public void AddForce()

[naive pawn]

or more precisely, how integral types differ from floating-point types

[naive pawn]

right, it shouldn't

[rich adder]

wdym

m_Rigidbody.AddForce(transform.up * m_Thrust);

[naive pawn]

public void AddForce(...) is the creation of the method

the example shows how to use the method

[rich adder]

its like the declaring of the method

[nova kite]

so i need to create the method too or does it come with the include unity

[rich adder]

how is this method structured

[naive pawn]

if it had that creation, that'd be the source code of the method, not an example usage

[naive pawn]

well, if it didn't come with unity, there wouldn't be much point to documenting it as part of unity

[nova kite]

using not include sorry

hahah

[rich adder]

AddForce is a method that comes from the Rigidbody class, which is a component here

[nova kite]

i meant like do i need to put that line in th ecode

[naive pawn]

no, unity does

[nova kite]

i see so that's just showing me what it expects

[rich adder]

you just need to "call" the method, you dont declare it

[nova kite]

like what values i need to transfer to that method

[rich adder]

the method is already setup for you. You just "feed it" values

[nova kite]

playerRB.AddForce(transform.right * speed * horizontalInput); how come it's different here then

there is no comma

so where is the ForceMode

[rich adder]

because its using default forcemode

[naive pawn]

it's defaulted

[rich adder]

i told you what = meant in signature

[nova kite]

yes but i dont have it

[rich adder]

its giving a default value so you can omit it

[nova kite]

so how does it know

[naive pawn]

unity has it

[rich adder]

it has been given it when it was declared

[naive pawn]

you don't have to

[nova kite]

its like another constructor

for if i feed it just the vector3?

[rich adder]

its not a constructor

its a different signature method

[naive pawn]

same idea, different thing

[rich adder]

its still using ForceMode, but the default one

[nova kite]

hmm i see

so if i wanted the impulsive one for example i would have to specify

[rich adder]

when you declare a method you can have it default values in params so you dont ever have to pass a value

[nova kite]

ohh

so basically in the example code they show me the items i need to make it work

i need a rigidbody reference

and to connect it to the component of the game object that this script is attached to

[rich adder]

yeah you need a specific rigidbody to access/call the method on

[nova kite]

and then i can do stuff with it

[naive pawn]

you can think of defaults as hidden overloads

void Method(int a, int b = 0) { /* stuff */ }
// is like
void Method(int a) { Method(a, 0); }
void Method(int a, int b) { /* stuff */ }

[nova kite]

yes thats exactly what i had in mind haha

like different options depending on what the user passes

so by writing ForceMode mode i crete an object or however that's called and then i assign it a certain mode's value

and that gets passed to the rigidbody class who has a reference to that ForceMode enum and then it applies the propoer physics

[rich adder]

by writing ForceMode type you're overriding the default value, nothing more

[nova kite]

i meant like the "mode" that coems after ForceMode

AddForce(float x, float y, float z, ForceMode mode = ForceMode.Force);

that's like an object of that enum

[rich adder]

thats how enums work, you preceede it with the enum type

public enum Colors{
       Red, Blue
}
private Color col;
void Foo(){
       col = Colors.Red;
}```

[nova kite]

like that stores what mode i want to use

i see okay this all makes much more sense now

thank you guys!!

Vector3 direction = transform.forward * speed * verticalInput + transform.right * speed * horizontalInput;
playerRB.AddForce(direction);

and for this how does it work even tho you add these two up? wont the numbers just get messed up

[nova kite]

yess that's what i imagined too

i like when i think of something and it's actually the answer that's when it clicks lol

[compact stag]

hey guys! i dont really know why my character hasnt been being triggered, but i got a player

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class Collision : MonoBehaviour

{
    private void onTriggerEnter(Collider other) {
    if (gameObject.tag == "Player") {
        print("Entered hitbox");
        }
    }
}

and a monster, i added this code to the monster's empty gameobject trigger and gave it a box collider, i checked the isTrigger checkbox and made a tag for the player called Player however this still doesnt work, can anyone tell me why?

[rich adder]

its doing the same as what you did , its just adding the two directions instead of calling them seperate

[nova kite]

but how does it not add the resulted numbers of them

[rich adder]

https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.0/Documentation/ScriptReference/Collider.OnTriggerEnter.html

[nova kite]

or that wouldnt matter cuz it would be like going sideways?

[wispy coral]

try other.CompareTag("Player") maybe it will help instead of gameObject.tag

it checks the tag of the other thing, that being the player and does the action

[rich adder]

imagine you did Vector3.forward(0,0,1) + Vector3.right (1,0,0)
what do you get ? (1,0,1)

[nova kite]

can you even add these hahah

[rich adder]

yes

[compact stag]

nope! it didnt work

[nova kite]

then i would assume so yes

[compact stag]

should i add anything into the player?

[wispy coral]

dang i tried

[nova kite]

i would assume it adds the x y and z seperately

[rich adder]

did you read what I sent?

look carefully

[compact stag]

i was already reading that before!

wait, am i not catching something super obvious?

[rich adder]

how do you not see whats wrong then lol

[rich adder]

yes

C# is case sensitive

[compact stag]

OH

THE

fuuuuuuck

the On

[nova kite]

hahaha

GameObject

[compact stag]

fuck im sorry guys LMFAO, i have been looking at this for like the past HOUR

[rich adder]

it just comes down how they do math , you can't multiply 2 vectors for example

[nova kite]

wdym no;-;

see another example

in the documentation it says GameObject

[wispy coral]

glad you found a solution

[north kiln]

Also you should use CompareTag instead of comparing tags with equality

[nova kite]

using UnityEngine;

public class Example : MonoBehaviour
{
    private float speed = 2f;

    //Moves this GameObject 2 units a second in the forward direction
    void Update()
    {
        transform.Translate(Vector3.forward * Time.deltaTime * speed);
    }

    //Upon collision with another GameObject, this GameObject will reverse direction
    private void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other)
    {
        speed = speed * -1;
    }
}

[compact stag]

why is that?

[rich adder]

adding is pretty straight forward math (x1​+x2​,y1​+y2​,z1​+z2​)

[north kiln]

Because it warns you if you get the tag wrong and it also doesn't allocate an extra string

[nova kite]

i see so it would move these two simultaneously if two buttons are pressed that's clever

[compact stag]

i see! could you explain to me how the Get.Component works? is it a way to reference another gameObjects inside unity?

[north kiln]

Yes

[nova kite]

this is from the OnTriggerEnter documentation
it has GameObject written there but it's actually gameObject
so how do you know which to use

[north kiln]

Because one is a type name and one is a property of Component

They make sense in different contexts

[nova kite]

yea but if you didnt have context and relied on the documentation?

because that's what im trying to learn haha

how to rely on documentation

[rich adder]

start clicking stuff 😛
https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.0/Documentation/ScriptReference/Component.html

[north kiln]

The documentation is using things in different contexts, I don't see where a capitalises GameObject is even referenced in what you quoted outside of a comment

[nova kite]

https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.0/Documentation/ScriptReference/Collider.OnTriggerEnter.html
here

[rich adder]

click it, GameObject it explains everything

[north kiln]

where?

It doesn't use GameObject or gameObject in this code

[nova kite]

ohh!!

GameObject is the class

[rich adder]

its telling its being applied to that Gameobject this script is on

[nova kite]

and that's to get components of game objects

[rich adder]

GameObjects are just containers of Components

[nova kite]

in the example code

[rich adder]

when you put a script on a gameobject its a component
Unity is traditionally component based

[nova kite]

of how to use the ontriggerenter

[compact stag]

also, just a final question, i used Destroy(other.GameObject) so the code looks like this

{
    private void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other) {
    if (other.CompareTag("Player")) {
            Destroy(other.gameObject);
        }
    }
}

but i get this error SPAMMED in my console, am I deleting only the camera?

[nova kite]

so that would be like GameObject.component

thats when you use capital G

[north kiln]

I don't see where a capitalises GameObject is even referenced in what you quoted outside of a comment

[nova kite]

ohhh

so how do you know how to write the code that would be on a trigger detector object

[rich adder]

no GameObject is the type you reference if you want to use its methods or holding reference to an object

[nova kite]

if that example doesnt have it

[rich adder]

GameObject.component doesnt exist
click GameObject, you will see all the properties and methods listed

[north kiln]

You're not showing the stack trace, and I doubt this code relates to this error

[teal viper]

Because it's not relevant in this example. You can find the properties of a GameObject class in the corresponding class page in the docs.

[nova kite]

i meant get component haha

[north kiln]

You follow one of the thousands of relevant tutorials

[compact stag]

you got it right! this error is coming from my navigationscript where its trying to access a character that doesnt exist after its destroyed

[rich adder]

I just look at the docs its pretty straight forward how it works

[wispy coral]

how can i reset a rigidbody's rotation?

in code

[rich adder]

access the method for rotation

put Quaternion.identity

[wispy coral]

then i set it to 0?

[rich adder]

or whatever you want to reset to

[nova kite]

is there a tutorial that explains how to understand documentation lol

[rich adder]

identity means no rotation, you can also use whatever Quaternion value you want just pass it through a euler angle (vector3)

[teal viper]

You don't need such a tutorial. It's intuitively understandable. You just need to know some C# basics.

[rich adder]

Having traditional C# basics will help you better read the Docs / APIs

[wispy coral]

oh didnt know that, my ide was kinda ambiguous about it

[compact stag]

so, question, should i use GetComponent to get a variable in another code? i was thinking of making a isAlive boolean variable

or is there a better way?

[nova kite]

how different is it from C++ because so far i havent seen much difference

[rich adder]

its the same family language so they are similiar, but c++ lets u get real granular and you have to manage your own allocations / memory

no garbage collector like c#

[teal viper]

It's quite different. You should read the C# manual. I think they even have a section for programmers coming from C++.

[nova kite]

i hate pointers lol

[rich adder]

c# ur not typically dealing with pointers directly

[nova kite]

luckily

[nova kite]

ohh

thatll be helpful

[rich adder]

if you know c++ , c# will be easier lol

[nova kite]

i know some we are studying it in college

[teal viper]

Though, I feel like there's not much knowledge you'd be able to transfer from C++, seeing how you "hate pointers"😅

[rich adder]

less to deal with, I mean header files? ughhh

[nova kite]

i fucking hate header files

[rich adder]

maintaining 2 files is annoying

[nova kite]

that is the sole reason why i didnt choose unReal

lmao

[nova kite]

hahaha it's so confusing and every time i think i get it i dont

[nova kite]

yess and so confusing im not about to do that at all

[rancid badger]

agree lol

[rich adder]

welcome to the eazy life then

[nova kite]

unity is much easier for sure

it all makes sense

[static cedar]

Putting all the code in the header.

Now you only have to maintain one file.

[teal viper]

Pointers are an indispensable part of C++. Saying you hate them is like saying you hate table legs in tables.

[nova kite]

i have 3 more semesters of C++

;-;

[rancid badger]

hey quick question, anyone ever experienced button taps "randomly" not detected on android build? where should i look to find the reason?

[cosmic dagger]

facts. if you hate like pointers, basically, you don't like C++ . . .

[rich adder]

start by showing how you capture input in code

[nova kite]

i like how the input and output work lol

[static cedar]

I had an entire sem of C.
My teacher literally didn't teach anything.

[nova kite]

oh god

[static cedar]

Just gave us projects and went go work on it urself.

[nova kite]

we are forced to take assembly too😭

[rich adder]

i just use C/C++ for embedded and connecting to unity via interop sometimes

[static cedar]

Can you also use pointers in rust?

[rancid badger]

shootButton.onClick.AddListener(OnShootButtonPressed)

[wispy coral]

is there a way to unfreeze a single rigidbody constraint on command?

[rich adder]

okay so its a UI button, could be something covering your raycast press area

[rich adder]

yes

just unfreeze and assign the specifc one you want

[wispy coral]

alright thanks

[cosmic dagger]

good quuestion, though, i wouldn't know. haven't used Rust. i know a few other people here have . . .

[cosmic dagger]

yes: it's a bitmask, you do it using bitwise operators . . .

[wispy coral]

i have no clue what that is and it sounds scary

i just unfroze all and froze the ones i didnt need

[static cedar]

Bitmask.
000
You basically have some flags.
And you have some operators to combine them.

[rancid badger]

yep

[wispy coral]

i guess ill have to investigate about em

[static cedar]

Wanna combine all individual flag?
001 | 010 | 100 = 111

Something like that.

[wispy coral]

thats convenient actually

[nova kite]

void Update()
{
    if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Space))
    {
        playerRB.AddForce(Vector3.up * jump);
    }
}

why does it not jump😫

[rich adder]

because in one frame you aint going nowhere with addforce force mode

[cosmic dagger]

because you're using the default force mode . . .

[rich adder]

^ use Impulse for one frame bursts
