i noticed one script that is able to display its variables as string, but when i do something.AsString = "abc" it actually writes it to variable how it does that?

[wintry quarry]

when i do something.AsString = "abc" it actually writes it to variable
What do you mean by that? Writes what to what variable?

[late burrow]

it has a custom class normally but its able to convert itself to string AND update itself when string is provided

i thought someone was telling me that isnt possible

[wintry quarry]

You're being pretty vague but it sounds like you're just talking about a property:

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

[late burrow]

i didnt knew properties can take different type

[wintry quarry]

As for converting to string that's just through the ToString method: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.object.tostring?view=net-9.0

Or an implicit conversion to string operator and/or the other way around

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/language-reference/operators/user-defined-conversion-operators

[late burrow]

yeah i was doing once a class thats automatically spits out string, but didnt knew i can make this class with a string, and when writing to string

[wintry quarry]

Without specific examples it's not really clear what you're talking about.

[naive pawn]

what do you mean by "update itself"?

[naive pawn]

oh something like this would a property yeah

[rigid tiger]

w3schools, home of every student and great programming example

[burnt vapor]

Too bad it's just a decade behind, making it not so useful

Though, to be fair, I guess it matches in terms of how behind Unity is in a way

[rigid tiger]

I think it covers the basics very well 😅 don't discourage people from it kinda deal

[languid spire]

Agreed, for an absolute beginner W3Schools is not a bad place to start

[keen cargo]

sorry bout the necro, but the reason why GetComponent is called "bad" is due to a common mistake that people make with it, which is calling it within Update()

since you know how Update() is called every frame

[naive pawn]

if you can set explicit references that's usually preferred

[keen cargo]

some form of singleton also works, but have to be a little careful with those too

but yea if you know getcomponent doesn't get called often then it's completely fine to use

[shell harness]

Heya, I'm very new to unity and am trying to make Stardew Valley's Journey of the Prairie King in 3D as a learning project. I've run into a roadblock - I don't know what's the best way to make a gun system with different firing types (single fire, a shotgun/burst fire, omnidirectional fire etc.), that dynamically change from pickups. I could keep it simple and change gun prefabs that have a script attached that handles the firing, but I don't think that's the best way.

So far my research has led me to Strategy Pattern using scriptable objects, but I find using scriptable objects for this weird - you'll only have one single firing type, one burst firing type etc., so why a scriptable object?

Could anyone point me in the right direction, how I should be thinking about this, to make it easy to maintain and expand?

[shy kite]

If a 2d collider is a trigger, detects another collider and does something, then i set the object which contains the 2d trigger collider to false then reactivate it in the same state, will it detect the other colliders and do the functions again even tho i didn't move it?

i don't wanna have my triggers always active for attacking

i tested it but it doesn't seem to work, heck only if the collider is moving is working

if my charcater stays still and attacks it doesn't deal dmg

[languid spire]

how did you test it? Enter will probably not fire but Stay should

[shy kite]

both stay and enter

both only work if my character is moving into the other collider

they are braindead if they don't

[languid spire]

Are you diabling/enabling within the same FixedUpdate time frame?

[shy kite]

ye, but the problem is that even tho is always eanbled , it doesn't detect it if i stay still

in the collider

the trigger is in another collider and it doesn't see it

[languid spire]

try doing this.
in a coroutine
disable the collider
wait for fixedupdate
enable the collider
and see what fires

[shy kite]

but the ontrigger stay should always detect other colliders even tho is not moving right?

[languid spire]

yes, the question is at what point does the collider get added to the 'active' list. For normal colliders this works but I've never tried it with triggers

[shy kite]

the problem is that now i have the trigger always active but works the same

could it be because it detects another collider i do not see?

[languid spire]

debug your code to find out

[shy kite]

still works the same

i really do not know what might be wrong, this is some begginer ahhh shit

[languid spire]

when confronted with situations like this I generally make a new project and implement only the bits I need to test, this ensures there is nothing else getting in the way and masking the actually workings

simple enough to do with a couple of cubes

[shy kite]

there was a bigger collider

i was right

but now the trigger doesn't detect solid collider

i will kms

[naive pawn]

make sure one of the colliders has a rb

[shy kite]

REALLY

OMFG

[naive pawn]

rbs control physics, including collisions

[shy kite]

i will add it rn, my savin angel

[languid spire]

Did you not go and read the docs about collision and trigger requirements?

[naive pawn]

https://unity.huh.how/physics-messages/trigger-matrix-3d

[shy kite]

ofc not

too much yappin

[naive pawn]

and that's why you're getting easy-to-fix issues

[languid spire]

Then it's no wonder you have problems, you've bought them on yourself

[shy kite]

Succes means hard work

not reading essays

😎

[languid spire]

WRONG

[naive pawn]

lmao no

there are giants waiting for you to stand on them

[quick fractal]

If you don't read the docs, you won't ever move away from relying on other people to provide basic information

[naive pawn]

stand on their shoulders

[quick fractal]

They're there to help. If they were all one word answers no one would find them all that helpful

[naive pawn]

coding in particular is half reading

reading docs, reading errors, reading warnings, reading logs

reading examples and explanations

but all skills involve learning

and people have done hard work for you already, and condensed that knowledge

if you refuse to learn from other people, you're just going to repeat their mistakes

resources exist for a reason, use them

[shy kite]

i got no problems reading code, just docs

[languid spire]

Half? I would say more like 80% if not more, especially whilst learning

[shy kite]

coding is like 90% readin code

[quick fractal]

100%. No writing involved.

[languid spire]

no, it's 90% reading docs, 10% writing code

[quick fractal]

For the first 5 minutes, maybe*

[naive pawn]

fair

[rich egret]

Does anyone know why it happens? i think its problem with rb

[languid spire]

how can you possibly read code if you have never read the docs?

[naive pawn]

why what happens, exactly?

and can't really help without any info

[rich egret]

The character gets stuck

[naive pawn]

well there's something blocking it there i guess

[shy kite]

i just hate docs

[rich egret]

Could something be causing it to get stuck?

[naive pawn]

i don't think that's a code issue

are you using a tilemap there?

[rich egret]

yup

[naive pawn]

do you have a composite collider on the tilemap?

[naive pawn]

that's a significant problem you'll have to overcome then

[rich egret]

yeah

[naive pawn]

and the tilemap collider is set as part of the composite?

you have not set it as part of the composite

[rich egret]

um wdym

[naive pawn]

ok, let's try again.. do you have a composite collider on the tilemap

[rich egret]

no, just tilemap collider 2d

as you can see

[naive pawn]

no i can't see because you only showed that lmao

add a composite collider and set the tilemap collider to be used by the composite

[shy kite]

or make them audio 🙏🏻

[naive pawn]

that wouldn't really work

[naive pawn]

can't skim, can't rewind easily, can't search

[naive pawn]

add a composite collider

[rich egret]

ok

[languid spire]

The docs are your best friend, embrace them as such

[rich egret]

Now the floor is falling 😂

[naive pawn]

if you added a rigidbody, make it static

[rich egret]

kk

wow thank you bro

you saved me

❤️

[tired junco]

hey im updating my renderer feature to unity 6 atm and im wondering what would be the equivalant to this now?

so how to get the current camera

SOLVED: var cameraData = frameData.Get<UniversalCameraData>();

[green flame]

Hello! Someone can tell me how to do a "setTimeout" in csharp with a cb ? I found some thing like "IEnumerator<WaitForSeconds>" but it's not working ^^

[naive pawn]

in unity, you could use coroutines

that's the path you're going towards

try googling coroutines

what do you mean by "cb" there?

[green flame]

Callback ^^

[naive pawn]

ah, of course. brainfarted lmao

if you want a lambda, you could use tasks?
but i'd recommend just going with coroutines, they're really flexible

[green flame]

Ok thank you, I'm reading how to use it 🙂

[idle juniper]

yo need some help on this

i got this slider and when i hit space at is point it just gets a random value.

https://paste.myst.rs/oocgvbgk

[burnt vapor]

Coroutines have build in yield commands to wait specific times, but Unity also supports Tasks.

public async Task M()
{
    await Task.Delay(1000);

    // Callback here.
}

Alternative non-async Task approach which runs in the background.

public void M()
{
    _ = Task.Delay(1000)
        .ContinueWith((task) =>
        {
            // Make sure to await the task to catch exceptions.
            _ = task.GetAwaiter().GetResult();

            // Callback here.
        });
}

Note that due to threading, you can't invoke Unity methods in here unless you run it on the main thread

Even better would be to use Unity's Awaitable pattern which has much better support and works with Unity methods: https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.0/Documentation/ScriptReference/Awaitable.html

Depending on your situation, you place the callback after the delay finishes

[burnt vapor]

What is the issue exactly? You don't want hitPosition to be a random value? What should it be?

[idle juniper]

i want when i hit space hitPosition and attackSlider.value are the same but, when i do it randomly switches value

[naive pawn]

you're checking for space after MoveSlider, so it's gonna be different from the previous frame

[burnt vapor]

What do you get when you log attackSlider.value before Mathf.Repeat?

[naive pawn]

MoveSlider seems to be responsible for that

[green flame]

Aah nice! I'll try this method too, it seems to be usefull for me later !

[naive pawn]

or some other change that isn't logged

[burnt vapor]

So After is the current situation? I'm confused because it seems correct

[idle juniper]

how

[wintry quarry]

Yeah i'm not seeing what's wrong there...

[burnt vapor]

You tell me, is it not?

[wintry quarry]

Also sdoes your slider happen to have an OnValueChanged listener?

[idle juniper]

this is the value

[burnt vapor]

If you're confused why the two are not the same then that's because MoveSlider adds sliderSpeed * Time.deltaTime to attackSlider.value as long as isAttacking is true

[idle juniper]

aaaa, so attackSlider.value is not gving the same value

[burnt vapor]

Nop

Would love to fix the code but I don't know all the context of it

What it does etc

[idle juniper]

so there is a slider that moves to the end, when pressing space it will stop at one point aka grabbing the value it is ant and then setting a damige if it is in the correct raige

doce that make sens?

can i post videos

here?

[burnt vapor]

Sure thing

[idle juniper]

if that makes sens

[obsidian plaza]

can u tell me a hit position value that always gives this bug?

[idle juniper]

all

if 90% = 0.9 it will give a random value like 0.003 0.005

and so on

[obsidian plaza]

oh ok

wait so

wdym by %90

according to your code it goes 0 damage, then 5, 10, 5 again, then 0

but visually it looks different

and wdym it returns a float? i thought it returned damage number

mayb im just slow think im looking at smtn else

[idle juniper]

it is a slider so when i mean 90 i mean 90% of the slider is full

and i set that value so 0.9 to hitposion aka were did the player hit but for some reson form procent it changes when hitting space and then just shouts out jargin

before is in procent
the after idk

[obsidian plaza]

gotchu

[idle juniper]

and i dont know why this happens due to there is no point in the code where slider gets effected

it just happens when the next part is called

[obsidian plaza]

where do u do math with the slider

before capturing the hitposition

is this the only place

[idle juniper]

hold on

1s

i did some changes and forgot to update it

https://paste.myst.rs/2pqnzdqo

was still trying to fine out why the value changes

but still no luck

[obsidian plaza]

this logs the same error?

[idle juniper]

so were moving slider is the math behinde the slider moving forword aka how much of the slider has moved form 0 to 1
and slider value is the same value is that aka if slider is 50% full then value is 0.5 for both
and when space is pressed it is seposto just use the last value

[idle juniper]

ye

[swift crag]

You have "Collapse" turned on, which can cause misleading results.

This causes identical log messages to be combined together

I wouldn't expect it to happen here, though, because these numbers have a lot of decimal places

Although, I guess there's one thing to note

If you try to move a slider past its max value, it will get set to exactly its max value

using Mathf.Repeat will then give you a value of zero

[obsidian plaza]

i think thats what they want

[swift crag]

So this would cause a lot of zeroes

suppose your slider is at 90%

you add 15% to it in one frame

The correct position for the slider should be 5%

[obsidian plaza]

i dont see how its possible that these two could give different results

[idle juniper]

ye my bad, it is not

[swift crag]

This looks fine, yes

[obsidian plaza]

so the value is taken correctly when you press space

but after that it breaks

[idle juniper]

ye

[idle juniper]

so what i am getting at there is somthing that is changing the value to the polor poisit. so 90% to then the rest witch is 10%

sorry i am still new and some stuff fucks me over

[swift crag]

that sounds like maxValue is 0.9, then

Also, you turned off Collapse in the console, correct?

[obsidian plaza]

how is the code even still going after you hit space?

it shouldnt log anything after

[idle juniper]

button

[obsidian plaza]

what

[idle juniper]

nope is on due to other logs form other code is on but in raw form

[swift crag]

i don't think they are hitting space

MoveSlider also happens to log "Space Pressed at Value:"

which is misleading

[obsidian plaza]

so ur pressing the attack button to attack, not hitting space bar?

whats that button do

[idle juniper]

to start is button to stop is space, button just sets the value to 0 when it is called aka only reseting when the button is pressed agine

[idle juniper]

i use that to know when pressing space and to compair last value form ogin

[swift crag]

I don't understand what the actual problem is right now

[obsidian plaza]

do if you hit start and hit space, it works fine. But if you then hit the button to restart, the values are wrong

[obsidian plaza]

slider value is logging wrong after the first attack i think

[idle juniper]

is there a vc one can jump into?

to i can explane it a bit better

[swift crag]

no, you just need to explain it better here

[swift crag]

I don't get what this means

[swift crag]

i just realized that my music was completely covering up your voice lmao

i thought the video was silent

gimme a minute

my bad

[idle juniper]

its a slider meaning one can move it form 0 to 1, 0 meaning 0% and 1 meaning 100%. sliders work in procent when askig for its value. so we say we move the slider to around 90% meaning that we have move the slider to 90 of the way

why the fuck is it see thrue

when did paint do that

[idle juniper]

XD is cool my bad for not best explaning

[rocky wyvern]

It’s possible the slider value only changes at the end of the cycle or something like that

[obsidian plaza]

im making a rhythm game that is almost exactly like this

for one, im not sure how accurate sliders are in value

[swift crag]

discord plays videos very quietly for some reason

[obsidian plaza]

what i do is i take the position

but besides that

[swift crag]

Can you inspect the slider? I want to make sure its max value is exactly 1

It looks like it's currently 0.9

[idle juniper]

yep 1s

[obsidian plaza]

how ur english is perfect but writing less than perfect

[swift crag]

Okay, so the slider has the right max value

[idle juniper]

i got that autizum that makes writing diff to speaking

[idle juniper]

yep

[swift crag]

It looks to me like it is wrapping around at 0.9 instead of 1.0

[rocky wyvern]

So you want a random value from 0-1 and it’s actually 0-0.9??

[obsidian plaza]

according to zion, all the values are wrong

@idle juniper can u send a vid of the bug happening

like u pressing attack

and it logs wrong

[swift crag]

I'm looking at this example in particular.

One frame before hitting space, the value was almost 0.9

[obsidian plaza]

i think they hit space

so it stopped

[idle juniper]

do you guys just want the build?

[obsidian plaza]

they hit space at 0.9, then reset it

headache to download tho

seems like easy fix

[swift crag]

This is the only line that actually involved hitting the spacebar

This is getting logged every frame by MoveSlider

[obsidian plaza]

theres one right above that..

[swift crag]

It has nothing to do with hitting space

[obsidian plaza]

wait

oh

lol

[swift crag]

Everything in this example looks fine except for the fact that it wrapped around too early

Hang on a second..

Do you have two AttackSystems running at the same time here?

[idle juniper]

no

[swift crag]

I'd expect to see more log messages (now that Collapse is off, at least), but they 're not appearing

ah, I have one other idea here

fightButton.onClick.AddListener(StartAttack);

If you have the fight button selected, hitting space will press it

That's got to be it.

This will call StartAttack, which resets the slider value to 0

Then MoveSlider runs and advances the slider a tiny bit

This gives you a bogus value

[rocky wyvern]

Bogus

[idle juniper]

god is that you?

thank the lord that makes sens

[obsidian plaza]

why does anyone use listeners? why not just use OnPointerClick?

[swift crag]

I kind of prefer to subscribe via code

especially if I already need a button reference for some other purpose

Consider making the Fight button non-interactable during the minigame

someButton.interactable = false;

[idle juniper]

so what is the best way of fixing this

or going about fixing this

[swift crag]

Don't let the player press the fight button a second time

[swift crag]

this would work

You could also do nothing in StartAttack if you are already attacking

The problem is that, when you click a button, it also gets selected

this is important for keyboard/controller navigation

but, in our case, it also means that the button is now going to get pressed if we hit space or enter

[idle juniper]

THANK YOU GUYS SO MUCH!

[swift crag]

that was a tricky "gotcha" with the UI button

if I hadn't noticed that, I'd eventually have suggested adding a few more log statements, including one in StartAttack

(to test the idea that you had a second AttackSystem somewhere)

Also, I'd tweak it slightly

float progress = slider.value + Time.deltaTime;
progress = Mathf.Repeat(progress, slider.maxValue);
slider.value = progress;

imagine the slider moves by 40% per frame and it's at 80% right now

as-is, you set the slider value to 0.8 + 0.4, which is 1.2, and that gets clamped to 1.0 (because that is the max slider value)

so after the repeat, you get 0.0

It should be 0.2 after the repeat

[rocky wyvern]

Saves code by not having to implement the interface tbh

Also I think onpointerdown is all mouse buttons

[swift crag]

oh, right, asa was talking about the interface that lets you receive a UI event

that wouldn't be useful here; the AttackSystem is not the thing you click on

I was thinking about adding a persistent listener in the button's inspector

[obsidian plaza]

For all my buttons i just put a sprite renderer, then put an invisible image with raycast behind it

then i give it a script and do OnPointerClick with event systems

i handle all the sprite changes on hover manually and everything

gives me freedom

[rocky wyvern]

How’s it any different in terms of ability for that to using a delegate

[obsidian plaza]

whats a delegate

[rocky wyvern]

Like
A variable that stores a reference to a method

I guess saying delegate wasn’t completely true to how you use the system

The onclick one that is

[obsidian plaza]

dont u need to check that every frame? or no

like it has to be in update

instead of onclick, do function

[rocky wyvern]

No?

From what you said earlier are you not somewhat familiar with events in scripting?

[obsidian plaza]

not very familiar with the listening thing

[wintry quarry]

Delegates run whenever you invoke them. No more, no less.

[swift crag]

i feel like we're talking about three unrelated things here

[rocky wyvern]

Yeah pretty unrelated just surprised they don’t know

[rocky wyvern]

Like I said delegate essentially is a variable for methods

Like for example you can set the delegate ‘variable’ to store a method and call it from there
// the definition of the delegate
public delegate void FooDelegate(int number);
// declaring a delegate
public FooDelegate MyFooDelegate;

public void Start()
{
MyFooDelegate = DoStuff;
}

DoStuff(int number)
{
Debug.Log(number)
}

Idk where backtick is on phone

How it relates to events is delegates can store multiple methods basically

So to ‘listen’ to the delegate you += the method you want to run to that delegate

[obsidian plaza]

o yea idk what this is

the delegate

ill google

wait yes i do

is delegate just an invisible word

ive never seen it

[rocky wyvern]

What do you mean

Invisible word

[obsidian plaza]

like if you type "bool x"

its really private bool x

[naive pawn]

it's not implicit, no

nor is it default

[rocky wyvern]

I mean you use the word itself like that yes but that’s essentially for the compiler to understand wtf ur writing and that you’re not trying to declare an actual method

[swift crag]

delegate is a keyword.

You don't see it very often, though

[obsidian plaza]

ok then i really dont get it

[swift crag]

You generally just use pre-defined types, such as System.Action

It's used to declare a delegate type.

[rocky wyvern]

Quite literally

It is a variable that stores methods

That’s it

[swift crag]

System.Action is a zero-argument function that returns nothing, for example.

System.Func<int, float> is a one-argument function that takes an int and returns a float

[rocky wyvern]

Like say you have an update that needs to DoStuff() every frame, and you want to switch out what stuff it does

You could potentially call the method stored in a delegate

And change the method the delegate is storing to decide what method to run

[obsidian plaza]

so why not do DelegateMethod("Hello World") in this case?

[swift crag]

because you can pass in any matching method of your choosing

[wintry quarry]

because you can't pass that around as a parameter or a field somewhere

[swift crag]

For example, I have a validation system that does this

public void Check(System.Action<string> onFail) {
  if (bad) {
     onFail("OH MY GOD");
  }
}

very loosely

I can then do this

public void HandleFail(string message) {
  Debug.Log(message);
  // do other stuff
}

// ... somewhere else in my code 

Check(HandleFail);

[obsidian plaza]

wtf

[rocky wyvern]

if (bad)
{
bad = false;
}

[swift crag]

true

[swift crag]

Delegate types let you treat functions like any other kind of object.

[obsidian plaza]

my brain is halfway there i think

[timber tide]

delegates when I want to make my code look pretty

[swift crag]

public void Foo(float x) { return x + 1; }
public void Bar(System.Func<float> y) { return y() + 1; }

one function takes a float.
one function takes another function that returns a float

[timber tide]

usually people recommend you to use delegates from referencing upwards, but that's too much effort. I just bi-directional reference everything

[swift crag]

i don't understand what you mean by that

[rocky wyvern]

In class heirarchy I think

But it really isn’t that much effort

I don’t think it’s more effort at all actually

[timber tide]

imagine making an inventory, your slots shouldnt have a reference to the inventory itself but a delegate to invoke from the inventory

[rocky wyvern]

Just a different architecture or way of thinking about communicating between classes

[swift crag]

oh, yeah, and that's basically what the event keyword does for you

other objects can give you delegates to invoke

(but only you get to invoke them)

[rich egret]

    {
        if (target == null) return;
        float directionToPlayer = target.position.x - transform.position.x;
        bool shouldFaceRight = directionToPlayer > 0;
        if (shouldFaceRight != isFacingRight)
        {
            Flip();
        }
    }

   void Flip()
    {
        isFacingRight = !isFacingRight;
        SpriteRenderer spriteRenderer = GetComponent<SpriteRenderer>();
        if (spriteRenderer != null)
        {
            spriteRenderer.flipX = !spriteRenderer.flipX;
        }
    }

Someone know why the enemy is not does Flip?

[burnt vapor]

Because FlipTowardsPlayer is not called or target is null or shouldFaceRight == isFacingRight or spriteRenderer == null

If you want help I suggest you start by debugging all of these

[languid spire]

It might help you understand your code if you added some debugging into it

[burnt vapor]

https://unity.huh.how/debugging/logging/how-to

Alternatively, if you already did this it would help if you mention it all gets called and you confirm spriteRenderer.flipX = !spriteRenderer.flipX; is invoked

[wintry quarry]

should also really do:
spriteRenderer.flipX = !isFacingRight; instead of spriteRenderer.flipX = !spriteRenderer.flipX;. otherwise you're risking them coming out of sync

[snow warren]

ohk so i think i can drop this as well

are you sure its just for compilers because from what i heard its also used for nullable types and their assignment

[short hazel]

If you need to mark a reference type as nullable then postfix it with ?, else don't

eg. string? and string

[snow warren]

thanks let me try

[short hazel]

Basically the compiler will transform the ? annotations into these attributes, so it can provide you with the appropriate warnings (assigning null to non-nullable type, attempts to dereference a nullable variable, etc.)

[rich egret]

    {
        float directionToPlayer = target.position.x - transform.position.x;
        bool shouldFaceRight = directionToPlayer > 0;

        if (shouldFaceRight != isFacingRight)
        {
            Flip();
        }
    }

    void Flip()
    {
        isFacingRight = !isFacingRight;
        SpriteRenderer spriteRenderer = GetComponent<SpriteRenderer>();
        if (spriteRenderer != null)
        {
            spriteRenderer.flipX = !isFacingRight;
        }
    }

Like that?

This does a flip in the opposite direction

[wintry quarry]

then get rid of the !

[molten robin]

Is it possible to scroll between the Lerp value? like this?

  {
        float scrollValue = Mathf.Clamp(camDistance + Mouse.current.scroll.y.ReadValue() * camDistanceSpeed, 0f, 1f);
        camDistance = Mathf.Lerp(minCamDistance, maxCamDistance, scrollValue);
  }

[swift crag]

Sure.

[languid spire]

Debug scrollValue when it changes, you'll soon find out

[swift crag]

i'm guessing it's instantly snapping to either 0 or 1

(but I can't tell, because no problem was described!)

[languid spire]

tbh not sure

[molten robin]

Yup snapping straight to 1

or 0 now that I removed the camDistance from it

[swift crag]

The logic doesn't really make sense

You're using the computed camDistance (which is probably not in the 0..1 range) to compute the lerp factor

Perhaps you meant to keep track of scrollValue.

[languid spire]

not quite sure what camDistance + Mouse.current.scroll.y.ReadValue() is supposed to do

why + ?

[swift crag]

using camDistance at all is nonsense here

[languid spire]

correct me if i'm wrong but scroll.y is -1, 0 or 1

[swift crag]

The magnitude depends on how you're getting scroll input

[molten robin]

yeah, i swapped camDistance to scrollValue and works now

[swift crag]

notably, my macbook's trackpad produces many very tiny scroll events

this causes the Shader Graph window to zoom in and out at absurd speeds, because it changes the zoom by a fixed amount

instead of respecting the strength of the scroll

[languid spire]

pretty sure windows doesnt do that

[rocky wyvern]

Windows does that

Trackpads are so ass for usability

[languid spire]

hey, accessibility, we have to respect that

I'm guessing the new Input system has some form of normalizing the input values

[swift crag]

you just need to respect the magnitude of the scroll event

instead of only looking at the sign

(notably, Smugliif, your code works correctly already)

[molten robin]

thanks for the help, i haven't really done much coding in a while

[swift crag]

It's useful to think about "units" here

cameraDistance is measured in meters, whilst scrollValue is a unitless percentage

That can help you catch errors like this

[late burrow]

i really really wish property could hold some value is there no way to perform that

[naive pawn]

that's kinda what properties are for?

what do you mean

what are you trying to do, what problem are you having

[late burrow]

like i would use them for many things, but 90% of time its just passing values with ifs

and thats twice as many code

[slender nymph]

what does that even mean

[late burrow]

get if not null

simply i wanted treat it to value BUT do something under some condition

[naive pawn]

can you show an example of your intended usage

[slender nymph]

can you actually explain what you are actually trying to accomplish here? because "wanted to treat it to value" doesn't really mean anything

[fervent abyss]

is

        get {
            Physics.Raycast(Body.position, Vector3.down, out RaycastHit hit, raycastDistance, raycastLayer.value);
            return 1*(90 - hit.distance);
        }
    }

any different from doing this using a method with float return value?

[late burrow]

dont tell me that isnt how most properties look like

[slender nymph]

well for starters, that isn't even how you check for null. but if the intention is to ensure it is never null or empty when getting it, then yes that is typically what you would do

[late burrow]

and i would gladly use half of my code in properties

but you realize how many variables i would have to stick under them

why cant it have one internal one

[slender nymph]

if you want a full property then yes, you must have an explicit backing field. that is how properties work. only an auto property wouldn't require an explicit backing field because the compiler generates one for it, but you wouldn't be able to have code inside the getter/setter with that

[naive pawn]

it differs at the call/usage site, but practically no

[fervent abyss]

oh ok!

[slender nymph]

c# 13 does include the new field keyword that allows usage of an auto property's compiler generated backing field though, of course that requires .net 9 so unity wouldn't be able to use that until the .net modernization is complete

[rocky wyvern]

1. The idea is to separate full on actions and simple data access or editing
2. Properties are slightly faster

You should use a property when setting data and performing functionality DIRECTLY LINKED to that data

Say… changing a text size variable; in the property you also change the text size of the linked tmpro component

If you are working with multiple different things changing loads of stuff use a method

That is the core idea

And it means when you use a property you know for sure it won’t change or affect anything else

Which leads to easier code readability and debugging if you do it correctly and everyone is on the same page

[swift crag]

I wouldn't expect a property to be any faster. It's invoking a function

I guess it doesn't need to resolve a method group into a specific method

[mystic lark]

i am making a coundown timer and cuz the coundown goes slower when it in negatives i just changed and deleted the - is that okay to do or?

[frail hawk]

you need to fix your if statement in the Update instead

[rough lynx]

Yh just change it to 0 if it's less

[frail hawk]

by the way , you can use a coroutine for that it will be only a few lines of code. what you have rn is pretty weird.

[mystic lark]

ill cehck it out

[naive pawn]

so if it's more than 0, then subtract deltaTime twice?
think about that

[mystic lark]

yea but when ist in the negatives the coundown goes slover like seconds

[naive pawn]

yeah because you told it to do it twice as fast when it's positive

read your code

[rough lynx]

Dang I didn't even see that first line lmaoo

[mystic lark]

oh

i get it i didnt even see , so thats why it goes slower thanks

[ruby spire]

Hey, I currently don't use namespaces in Unity, but Rider recommends me the following namespace because it matches my folder structure. ChatGPT on the other hand tells me that starting with _Project is a bad idea and I should use my game name instead. What's the best practice for Unity projects?

[naive pawn]

there's not really a best practice

do you want namespaces? do you have that kind of structure in mind?

like, is the folder a whole featureset, or just a grouping?

if it's just a grouping, then a namespace might not make sense

it would probably not include Scripts or Assets or anything along the path though, maybe the game name if you want it

[mystic lark]

i fixed it thanks but i have one more question how do i start this only when i press a button ? I am lost completly

[frail hawk]

did you look into coroutines 😉

[ruby spire]

it's more for code encapsualtion and also because i want to add assembly definitions later on

[mystic lark]

yes but im still a bigginer i added coroutines to my leraning list and this is my firs ever game without a tutorial

[snow warren]

hey
I have a question
is there a way to convert a static gameobject to non static at runtime?

i really want to know about this

because whenever i go and read about it people say that marking gameobjects static is editor only

[stark rune]

i have never accesed post peroccesing in code i asked chatgpt for some help and watched a youtube video aswell butthe vignette effect jsut stays 0 https://hastebin.skyra.pw/osavogikat.csharp

[runic lance]

that's what the docs says indeed
when you mark it as static Unity generates a new mesh with all of the static objects, so it doesn't make much sense to undo this
you can, however, create combined meshes during runtime with StaticBatchingUtility

[snow warren]

can it work even at build?

[runic lance]

what do you mean?

[snow warren]

newThing.isStatic = true;
newThing.transform.parent = transform;
StaticBatchingUtility.Combine(gameObject);```

this is how you mean it?

i want to ask does it work even when the game is built

[runic lance]

newThing.isStatic = true;
this should be unnecessary, but yes, it will work in builds

[snow warren]

is there something like we clone the static gameobject at runtime and delete the previous one

the new one created wont be static anymore

[runic lance]

the static preprocessing is done in the editor or during builds, so you can't create static objects dynamically

the closest you get is the StaticBatchingUtility

or maybe doing some tricks with wrapping the GameObject in its own scene, but I'm not sure how valuable is this

is there something specific you're trying to achieve?

[stark rune]

wait is that question to me or another guy?

[runic lance]

the other guy, sorry
you add some logs to your code and check exactly what's going on, if the vignette value is being updated correctly
additionally, you should look into the Unity forums or even check here in the Discord search for the correct way to update the vignette – ChatGPT is not reliable and will probably give you bad information

[stark rune]

is shader graphs a better way to make a better vigentte effect?

[runic lance]

I think this is perfectly fine and should be easier to modify, you just need to adjust the code to do what you want

[stark rune]

oh ok

[rich adder]

adding your intensity without framerate independent code is bad

[stark rune]

wait wdym

[rich adder]

vigEffect also would throw null if thats not assigned

[rich adder]

vigEffect.intensity.value += 0.001f; this is framerate dependent

[stark rune]

ok so should i add timue.deltaTime

[rich adder]

well yeah if you want it framerate independent

another reason to learn this stuff yourself insted of using a conversational chatbot

[stark rune]

got it most of ytoutube but u right

[stark rune]

wait will it increase if its framerate dependent

[olive galleon]

When should I use EventHandler or Action for events or anything other than those two, could I just use EventHandler for everything?

[rich adder]

it should, but thats assuming vigEffect is not null from the previous if block

doing the tryGet everyframe might also be overkill. How many times is this thing( PostProcessVolume ) being changed anyway

[stark rune]

not that much

[waxen pendant]

does OnTriggerEnter get called in the object entering or the object that has the collider with IsTrigger ticked?

[slender nymph]

both

[rich adder]

you can just cache the components in Start or Awake for example

[stark rune]

ok sure

[stark rune]

dis good? https://hastebin.skyra.pw/fegonarusu.csharp

[waxen pendant]

oh, for me its isn't getting called in the object for some reason? the box is ticked, the object passes through, but no call

[slender nymph]

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

[rich adder]

you still need to surround this with null check just in case vigEff is null somehow
vigEff.intensity.value += 0.01f * Time.deltaTime;
also for Volume you can just assign it in the inspector, no need for GetComponent

[stark rune]

oh ok#

[runic lance]

I would suggest simply using Action because it's simpler
EventHandlers might be a bit more structured and will always include the sender information, but that's not always useful

performance-wise it could be worse since you're creating a new instance of EventArgs everytime you raise the event, so that's something to consider

[echo field]

Hello guys!
I started making a game recently.
It has a node-based movement system and I want to add a simple view bobbing effect to it.
Unfortunately I am unable to implement it.
I do the camera movement with vector3.lerp and it seems that whenever I do that it is the only thing active.
I have an actual boolean set so that whenever I am moving it should activate the headbobbing script.
I'm curous if I can make the camera headbob while learping it from waypoint to waypoint

[stark rune]

still dont work for aome eason https://hastebin.skyra.pw/uqufevefex.csharp

[rich adder]

you have to start putting logs to see whats happening.
also this is wrong
if (vol != null) it should be vigEff as I said a few times already

[stark rune]

oh mb

oh i just made an other script sepearte with it thx for th ehelp

[rich adder]

its working now?

[stark rune]

yea

[mystic lark]

is there a way i can acces or copy a local variable to another script?

[rich adder]

make it a public field/ prop or a method that returns it, and access across

[zenith hare]

hi i just started c# like 2 days ago. i had a command to load the next scene for my 2d game after a fade transition is complete. i have 4 objects which should be fading at the same time, however 2 of them are not fading out. i think since the fade out isnt finishing, its not allowing the next scene to load, but im not sure how to fix it. im using chatgpt to help me, by the way. https://paste.ofcode.org/sTut8u8Lwq7pDg7Lz9QvuX

[swift crag]

This is going to start one coroutine at a time.

Each coroutine will have to complete before the next one can run

[slender nymph]

note that those are not going to fade out at the same time, since you yield each one it will fade out one at a time
however if any of them aren't fading, then that means either the coroutine stops before it reaches that point or something else is controlling whatever properties you are modifying to make it fade

[zenith hare]

ohh i see. should i just get rid of the yield returns as a whole to make them fade at the same time?

[languid spire]

more likely one of the methods is throwing an exception which will abort the whole lot

[swift crag]

Just calling the methods would accomplish very little

[zenith hare]

the reason i have them in the first place is because after the fade in, i wanted it to stay for about 2 more seconds. i thought this would make them wait for the 2 second pause before fading out

[swift crag]

You could pass each one to StartCoroutine to run them separately

If they all have the same delay, I'd just do that, then wait for two seconds

I'm actually not sure what the best way to say "run all of these coroutines, then wait for them all to complete" is

but you can simplify that to "wait for two seconds"

[snow warren]

hey guys does GameObject.Find clones a gameobject as well?

[swift crag]

No. It finds an object.

[languid spire]

no

[snow warren]

i want create something that finds a gameobject and then clone it

[swift crag]

that's all it does

You could certainly Instantiate an existing game object

[snow warren]

how about this

var NewObject = Instantiate(original);```

would this clone the gameobject one time or 2 times?

[languid spire]

once

[rich adder]

just once

[swift crag]

again, all that Find does is find an object

[snow warren]

thanks for the help

[swift crag]

it's right in the name (:

[rich adder]

bad Idea to use Find though strings should be avoided for this usecase

very flimsy

[swift crag]

What is the use-case here?

Presumably you're finding a specific object for a specific reason

[snow warren]

finding a gameobject in scene and changing it from static to non static

at runtime

[swift crag]

uh oh

we're in the "Y" part of an XY problem right now, I think

explain what your original goal was

[snow warren]

lol no

[rich adder]

yes

[snow warren]

i can change it to non static by this code

newThing.isStatic = true;
newThing.transform.parent = transform;
StaticBatchingUtility.Combine(gameObject);```

[slender nymph]

why is it even static in the first place if you intend to make it non-static?

[snow warren]

i am just testing my skills tbh

[slender nymph]

how . . . ?

[snow warren]

also developing a game that uses baked lightmaps in the form of texture that can be changed using shaders

for better computation i am just using cheap alternatives

[swift crag]

I hope you aren't intending to run this code at runtime

[snow warren]

well i am intending

i hope it doesnt crash

[cosmic dagger]

EventHandler is more conventional and intellisense provides info about the delegate. The issue is EventArgs, it's a class, and you need an instance to send when invoking the event, either by using a current or new instance

Using Action gives you more control with up to 16 parameters, you can pass structs without using a class, and you can replicate an EventHandler by passing the sender as well . . .

[swift crag]

The static flags mean nothing in the built game

[snow warren]

yeah i know
that's why there are alternatives

i know of someone who pulled this off so i wanna do it as well

since he wont tell me

hey is there something like Scene inside unity

C#?

like calling a specific scene and then finiding gameobjects through it

[ocean loom]

hi guys, can someone help me with raycasts i cant seem to get them working. itd be best for me if i could just screenshare to you

[runic lance]

you should definitely explain what you're trying to do, otherwise no one will be able to help you properly

[slender nymph]

Don't Ask To Ask

[rich adder]

no. Use Screenshots and share Code via links

[snow warren]

just trying

[ocean loom]

what?

[slender nymph]

if only there were some sort of link that would explain what that means

[ocean loom]

Any Unity experts around who are willing to commit into looking into my problem, whatever that may turn out to be, even if it's not actually related to Unity or if someone who doesn't know anything about Unity could actually answer my question?

[rich adder]

wow

[slender nymph]

you're not so good at reading comprehension, huh?

[rich adder]

bro did the complete opposite of what link explains lol

[rough lynx]

Aw man I was gonna link dontasktoask then you already did it

[cosmic dagger]

I'm confused about what you're asking? If you have a problem, post it so people can look at it and determine if they can help or not . . .

[slender nymph]

they directly copy/pasted the what not to do part of the dont ask to ask site and just changed some stuff so it said unity

[swift crag]

that is an interesting response, yes

[swift crag]

write a concise description of the problem you're having. tell us what you want to achieve and what has gone wrong

[ocean loom]

hi, sorry about the confusion. Im trying to make a raycast from my player, to the mouse position in a 2D game. However, the raycast isnt working. if it collides with something, i am not getting any debug messages, and when i try to Debug.DrawRay, it isnt showing anything.

i need these two images to be set as an actual image so i can place them into the script which i did. however do i need to keep the 'image' checkbox checked? because when i do, the image just turns into a solid color

[swift crag]

okay, so FixedUpdate should be running 50 times per second. You said that you aren't seeing any lines being drawn -- make sure that you have gizmos turned on in the scene view or you won't see those, btw

One important thing is that the lines will only last for one frame

[slender nymph]

you do not have any sprite assigned to the image components, so naturally they will just be the color you've set

[swift crag]

So you'll only actually see them if a FixedUpdate ran during your frame

I'd make the line last a bit longer to make sure that's not the issue

The fourth argument is the lifetime. You can give it something like 0.5f for half a second

Debug.DrawRay(foo, bar, baz, 0.5f);

and while we're at it, pass false for the fifth argument

This will make sure that the line can't be covered up by other objects in the scene

[ocean loom]

ah okay, ill try that. Thank your very Much!

[swift crag]

You can also add a Debug.Log statement to the fixed update method, just to make sure it's actually running

[zenith hare]

hmm. could you explain? the way i added them to the hierarchy was by just copying the images, moving them to assets, then moving them to the hierarchy. i thought that would 'set' them as sprites. and then i added image components to both of them in the inspector window.

[swift crag]

I don't see why it wouldn't, but if you still don't see a line, do that

[slender nymph]

the image component itself has no sprite assigned to it. are you perhaps expecting to use a SpriteRenderer to render them instead? if that is the case, why have you added an Image component?

if it helps to understand, the Image component is how you display a sprite in UI and a SpriteRenderer component is how you display a sprite in the world. use the one you need and refer to that type instead of assuming you need an Image component to reference that object

[zenith hare]

sorry im really new. i added the image component because i thought i needed to reference images, which i did in the script.

[slender nymph]

reference them using the type you are actually using
#💻┃code-beginner message

[mighty compass]

Goodmorning everyone I wish you luck with your code and 0 bugs when implementing new features

[zenith hare]

so, does the image component not allow sprites? if not, which component should i use to render sprites, and should i change the reference to the new component?

[slender nymph]

did you not read what i've said?

[swift crag]

re-read this carefully, yes

[slender nymph]

show your code 😉

[swift crag]

I've seen errors like this caused by a messed-up package cache

[zenith hare]

ohhh, sorry i didnt really get it

[slender nymph]

exactly. this is a code channel

[swift crag]

then ask

a Canvas is rendered differently from things like MeshRenderers and SpriteRenderers

[mighty compass]

😂

[swift crag]

that's why you have the Image component -- it's used by a Canvas to render a sprite

You don't put a SpriteRenderer under a Canvas -- it'll just kind of..render by itself, and the Canvas will have no clue what to do with it

They do both use sprite assets

That's what you have in your project window

Those are assets.

When you import a texture as a Sprite, the importer produces sprite assets

Both Image and SpriteRenderer can reference these assets

[zenith hare]

oh i see, tysm, it finally worked

[snow warren]

guys i did something like this but it didnt work

            if(Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.O))

                    NewObject.transform.localScale = gameObject.transform.localScale;
                    MeshFilter filter = NewObject.AddComponent<MeshFilter>();
                    filter.mesh = gameObject.GetComponent<MeshFilter>().mesh;
                    MeshRenderer renderer = NewObject.AddComponent<MeshRenderer>();
                    renderer.material = gameObject.GetComponent<MeshRenderer>().material;
                    MeshCollider collider = NewObject.AddComponent<MeshCollider>();

                    gameObject.SetActive(false);
                }
            }```

any helps i can get

i am stuck

[summer stump]

Define "doesn't work"

what do you want to happen (specifically) and what does happen (specifically)

And why not use prefabs?

[snow warren]

i created a clone of a static mesh at runtime
the clone was also static
then i created a new gameobject and assigned its mesh values off of the static gameobject
the new gameobject was again static and this time not visible

i dont know how to make a static gameobject to non static

[summer stump]

Might need something like this instead https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.0/Documentation/ScriptReference/GameObjectUtility.SetStaticEditorFlags.html
Not sure

[snow warren]

works only in editor

not at runtime

[summer stump]

Ah yeah, I saw that on isStatic, but missed it on the other

I feel like I would just use a prefab and swap the mesh, not sure

Might need to show a bit more of the code

                    MeshCollider collider = NewObject.AddComponent<MeshCollider>();
                    collider.sharedMesh = gameObject.GetComponent<MeshCollider>().sharedMesh;

                    gameObject.SetActive(false);

[summer stump]

Have you used the nugetforunity asset at all? https://github.com/GlitchEnzo/NuGetForUnity
I have never used nuget with unity before, and the concensous I see is generally not to

[analog elbow]

@summer stump I have no heard of this one, I think there is another one available in the unity asset store, but there were complaints that it was quite slow.

[snow warren]

nuget packages are for .net and not downloaded for unity
you need to copy them from their download folder into your unity Assets/Plugin folder and assign cpu architecture to them

[summer stump]

Did you mean to reply to the other user? Because that doesn't make sense as a reply to what I said

[analog elbow]

@snow warren just the dll?

[snow warren]

sorry i didnt think of it

[snow warren]

yeah just the dll

if its mono then either would work because unity compiler will code strip the dlls

also make sure the dlls are not using .net 9 because some libraries are not supported by current net version of unity 3d

if its C++ native then copy both x86 and x64 and assign architecture to them

[analog elbow]

It seems to be set to Any platform?

[snow warren]

yea unity is intelligent enough

[runic lance]

the problem is probably that you're getting the reference to the static baked mesh instead of the actual mesh that you want
as far as I understood you're not dealing with static game objects at all, since you're modifying them
your best option would be to uncheck static and create the batches yourself with StaticBatchingUtility

as was said before, setting the isStatic flag is irrelevant, since it's editor only

[snow warren]

i dont know how static batch work since never worked with it before

[analog elbow]

@snow warren That appears to have worked, thanks.

[snow warren]

lets say i am doing the static batch not from the gameobject i assigned the script to but from a gameobject that has the script but also had to give both gameobject[] as input and a static batch root

now when i give the gameobject[] to it it gives me an error

[timber tide]

If you're using URP you may not even need to static flag stuff

just ignore it for now unless you run into optimization problems

[snow warren]

not using urp here

[timber tide]

ah, ok

[swift crag]

and what is that error?

[snow warren]

just gives System.Exception and nothing else

[runic lance]

paste the exception here

[snow warren]

sorry

its a System.NotSupported Exception

now i dont really know what happened wrong here

since its not being supported

[short hazel]

Paste the full exception, with the message and the stack trace below it

[snow warren]

ok let me

[robust condor]

Where is a good place to store references to my scenes (they are in addressables). So my scene manager can load the scenes, maybe by type instead of strings, instead of Addressables.LoadSceneAsync("level1") ...

Should I just create an enum?

[snow warren]

i found a cruel thing
the static batching utility combine doesnt actually combine 2 meshes
its only combines both meshes into one so that even if the position of one gameobject changes the rendered mesh stays in place

[swift crag]

it produces a new mesh

[snow warren]

yea

[olive galleon]

I asked earlier what's better to use EventHandler vs Action and I got most responses saying Action, so how would I refactor this code in order to replace the (this, EventArgs.Empty) to use Action ?

[swift crag]

an Action takes no arguments at all

you simply invoke it

[grave frost]

by string is the correct way to do it AFIK unless you do by ID or whatever it's called (don't use addressable too much), but if you need to you can make a custom property drawer that interoperates a scene type as a string in the inspector, so you're left with a scene reference in the inspector and a string reference in code.

[swift crag]

can't you just get an AssetReference for the scene?

I don't use addressables very much, mind you

[swift crag]

that's how I deal with scene references in my non-addressable game, yeah

[grave frost]

while you and I are here, is there a way to require classes implementing an interface to define an event?

wait is it just public event Action<Vector2> VelocityChange;

oh it is lol nvm

[runic lance]

since it's an interface you can also choose to omit the public, but that's it

[grave frost]

yea but i always like to have explicit accessibility modifiers

thanks though!

[cinder wigeon]

good evening, I have a question about getting Visual Studio Code to recognize Unity keywords. Currently I followed a tutorial for a project setup tool, and after completion everything works great. Those scripts show keywords as expected. However, once I created my project folder and made scripts inside of that. Those scripts are not recognizing anything. Its confusing me as I have the new scripts and the old ones open at the same time in visual studio code. The old ones work and the new ones don't.
Both the old scripts and new scripts were opened first through unity interface
Any help is appreciated.

[fringe plover]

I think im terrible at math.

    private new void FixedUpdate()
    {
        base.FixedUpdate();

        if (longRenderer == null) return;
        timePassed = (SongController.instance.instSource.time - data.pos);

        if (toDisableWhenHit.activeSelf) return;

        // 30 is scaling, -1 is to make the end shorter
        longRenderer.size = new(longRenderer.size.x, ((data.lenght - (timePassed /4)) * 30) -1);
    }

data.pos is when note supposed to be hit in seconds, when data.pos is 0 (basicaly hit when song starts) all calculations are right.

But when its bigger than 0 the timePassed goes negative and wrong...

i tried fixing this all day but i have no idea what causes it.

the calculations are for long notes when player is supposed to hit note, it stops moving and longRenderer becomes shorter over time.

[swift crag]

What does "Create my project folder" mean?

[cinder wigeon]

it was just a tutorial to learn how to write a script to create a sample folder structure for your project. You enter the project name, it then creates an art folder, code folder etc.

[fringe plover]

When you create new project (except example ones) it doesnt create any folder but one for Scenes

you supposed to create them

[cinder wigeon]

the code in the "editor" folder is being picked up correctly in visual studio code and shows keywords
the code in the "scripts" folder is not showing unity keywords in visual studio code

[obsidian plaza]

chat gpt is rly good for math stuff like this, i made a rhythm game with a lot of math and i can say this

[fringe plover]

i asked it 15 times with different question formula, only thing it does is make timePassed 0 if data.pos is not 0

it basicaly breaks even more

[obsidian plaza]

lol

[cinder wigeon]

any ideas on the issue I mentioned?

[teal viper]

It sounds like your !ide is not configured. Check the config guides below. I'd also recommend using Visual Studio(not code) as a beginner.

[eternal falcon]

💡 IDE Configuration

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

[cinder wigeon]

I use vs code for work so I tried that one first, thanks for the reply

just confused why scripts in one location are recognizing all the unity keywords, yet scripts in other locations don't recognize anything

[teal viper]

Hard to say without seeing what you see.

[cinder wigeon]

what images can I send to help clarify?

This is an example of the working script file:

This is an example of the scripts not being recognized

[robust condor]

Are they ever gonna get rid of the "Hold on" loading bar?

[cinder wigeon]

both are within the Assets folder

you can see the imports and keywords are not green and aren't recognized. Although the script does compiile and work

[open veldt]

Quick question, my delta time is not working in the first if statement and I don't know why, it kind of just lingers around the same value. The else if works fine. I'm not sure what's up with it

[teal viper]

Hmm... The only thing I can think of is if these 2 scripts are in different assemblies and the project files for the second script are not generated properly.

[cinder wigeon]

would you happen to know what action I could take from here? Or things to look up? Properly stumped on this one

[fringe plover]

erm, the whole point of if is that it stops logic... it means something is wrong with if

check if currentStamina is > 0

[teal viper]

Wdym "doesn't work"? How are you confirming that? Use logs.

[fringe plover]

since you sau that else if runs instead every time

[cinder wigeon]

I see what you mean. The working file has the following:

the not working ones have this:

[teal viper]

Maybe try regenerating project files in the external tools. And make sure the !ide is configured correctly.

[eternal falcon]

💡 IDE Configuration

[fringe plover]

you may want to use >= 0 instead

or <= in case if it goes negative

@open veldt

[open veldt]

Give me one second because the error is something different

Basically the else if goes up 1 every second like it's supposed to, but the if statement doesn't go down 1 every second. Both run when they're supposed to (If runs when shifting and else if runs when not shifting)

I'm gonna screenshot the console logs

the issue is deltatime being weird I think?

[fringe plover]

wait

[open veldt]

so when currentStamina is 0, it goes up by 1 every second until it's equal to baseStamina

Then this is what happens when I shift, it doesn't go down by 1 each second it's all just this

😭

[fringe plover]

try multiplying Time.deltaTime, and check if Time.scale is set somewhere

it affects it

[open veldt]

alrighty

[teal viper]

This logs show that it is going up over several frames. Probably only a fraction of a second. Are you sure you're looking at the correct logs?

It's likely that you just have high fps, so individual logs(one per frame) wouldn't show big difference.

[open veldt]

I know it's not working because stamina should run out over 3 seconds if it were going down by one, but it doesn't, that little clip is about what EVERY printed value is because everything is around 2.99 and doesn't get lower than that

[sour fulcrum]

Feeling a little dumb here but i'm iterating through a textures pixels, how can I convert my index, width and height to a x,y position?

[teal viper]

You should make your logs more verbose, because it's not even clear which of the logs this is...

[open veldt]

This log is coming from the if statement where it checks for left shift

[teal viper]

You can do a loop within a loop to iterate a 2d space of coordinates.

for ( x++)
  for ( y++)
  {
    //x,y - current pixel.
    // your logic
  }

This is pseudocode, not real code. Just to demonstrate the logic.

[teal viper]

Then add one in the else block and make your logs more verbose.

[sour fulcrum]

no no as in I have an 1d array of pixels

i don't know how to math my way into the right x/y from my index and w/h

[teal viper]

That depends on how you made the 1d array.

[cinder wigeon]

nice I fixed the issue, for those that may ahve this in the future. I had both "visual studio editor" and "visual studio code editor" installed. The latter is depricated and causing conflicts. After using only one, then re-updated project preferences its working now

[sour fulcrum]

Texture.GetPixels()

I'm looking to get an x/y of the given pixel

it's ordered from top left to bottom right

[teal viper]

Then it should be something like x = index % width and y = index / height assuming all variables are ints.

[fringe plover]

when you do that, it returns Array of pixels, you can calculate position by using texture size (for example, if you use texture x size in array, it will return last pixel on first row)

[teal viper]

The best way to tackle this kind of problem is make a small example and write it down on paper. Then count and confirm.

[sour fulcrum]

no i can't calculate it, which is why I'm asking 😛

[sour fulcrum]

forsure, i have been

[cinder wigeon]

thanks for the help guys

[fringe plover]

you dont know math or what

[sour fulcrum]

No i don';t

thanks

[sour fulcrum]

tried using something similar to this and wasnt working but using your example made me realise

that i was using the wrong thing

tyvm

[teal viper]

Next time share your attempts first. Generally spoon-feeding is not appreciated here.

[open veldt]

It was in fact not the logs it was because I was constantly setting the variable in the if statement. Lol

Anyway fixed it

[teal viper]

Can't see that in the shared code. I guess it was a different if statement.

[open veldt]

No it was, It was this statement right here 😭 PSA to all Unity devs to stand up every so often and let your brain reset lmao

[teal viper]

Ah, indeed. Missed that.
But that's not in the if statement. an if statement is just the line with the if. That's a code block executed when the condition is true, or if block.

[open veldt]

Oh yeah, Clearly i need a nap lmaooo

[willow relic]

im confused im using the open xr for vr stuff but i gotit working but theres these red beams shooting off the controlers as pointers i assume but i dont wantthem there any help i ca find them as an object

[compact stag]

guys! one question, i got a simple navmesh system where it follows the player wherever it goes, however, im re-creating slenderman, how would i go about making him teleport instead of animationless walk and how would i increase his speed as the player got the pages?

[robust condor]

I am constantly having errors with namespaces in Unity, I don't get why. I have a controller in Game.UI but it can't find it

And I import it into using

[teal viper]

You can set the object position directly, to move it instantly.

[teal viper]

You'll need to share the relevant errors and code.

[robust condor]

It seems to fixed itself when I restarted vscode, I guess adding new namespaces do not update properly

[compact stag]

what i mean is like, in the original game slenderman teleports a few inches every few seconds, and those seconds get shorter and shorter with every page collected

it doesnt teleport DIRECTLY to the player, ykwim?

[teal viper]

Sure, just get a random position in some radius around the player.🤷‍♂️

[compact stag]

saw a code in the unity docs that gives me a nice direction towards my goal, thank you though!

much love

[compact stag]

actually, kinda wanna an opinion here

how would i make slenderman go towards the player?

using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.AI;

public class NavigationScript : MonoBehaviour
{
    public Transform player;
    private NavMeshAgent agent;
    private Vector3 moveDirection = Vector3.zero;
    // Start is called once before the first execution of Update after the MonoBehaviour is created
    void SlenderWalk() {
        moveDirection.z = 10;
    }
    void Start()
    {
        agent = GetComponent<NavMeshAgent>();
        if(PlayerMovement.numberPage == 1) {
            if(PlayerMovement.playerIsAlive == true) {
                print("working?");
                InvokeRepeating("SlenderWalk", 3.0f, 3.0f);
            }
        }
    }

    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update()
    {

    }
}

this code doesnt make slenderman move, so just wondering how i'd make him move before fixing this bug

[teal viper]

What bug?
If you're using a navmesh agent, just set it's destination.

[compact stag]

dont i have to specify it in the code? i can just do it in the inspector tab?

[compact stag]

also, the bug is that it doesnt move at all

[teal viper]

No. You set the destination in code. That's the basics of using a navmesh agent.

[teal viper]

Well, you don't move it anywhere in your code, so that's not a bug.

[compact stag]

thats what i was thinking

i was reading the docs and found MoveTowards, ill try some things and be right back!

dont spoil the answer, let me hit my head against the wall rq

[teal viper]

Read the navmesh agent docs. Or manual. Or even a tutorial. Or even better, go through the beginner pathways on unity !learn:

[eternal falcon]

:teacher: Unity Learn ↗

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

[compact stag]

thats actually so helpful, i didnt know there was this in unity! kinda puts me on the spot but this is genuinely so nice

appreciate you man!

ill read the docs and start on this from the beginning, dont wanna get myself confused or overwhelmed

[open veldt]

You know what I'm back cuz there's one more thing I wanna fix

I'm attempting to use the new input system and if you press W and S or A and D at the same time the character stops moving
I want to avoid it stopping because when you press the controls quickly or accidentally hit the other key the character clearly stops and I imagine it'll be kind of annoying, I just want it to keep going in the direction it originally was going if the opposite key gets pressed

I'm not sure how to make it not do that because I've been looking stuff up and cant find a thing about this problem

[gleaming plaza]

Is there a way to set an object to be an instantiated prefab? because using Instantiate(prefab) creates a clone of the prefab in instead of an actual prefab in the editor, and whatever I was trying to do here doesn't seem to work

[teal viper]

Wdym? Prefabs are GameObjects by definition. You can't make a prefab of anything else. What are you trying to do?

[gleaming plaza]

basically...this

I mean, I guess I could just set them manually now that I think about it

[teal viper]

This references an instance of the prefab, basically a normal gameobject in the scene. Not the prefab itself.

[fringe plover]

to maka a reference to prefab file, drag file from project view on reference slot

[eager spindle]

we don't use the InstantiatePrefab from PrefabUtility

we use Instantiate, a static function in GameObject

Instantiate(...) returns the gameobject

[near wadi]

you can click remove embeds to save space

[burnt vapor]

Did you save the code?

From a first glance it looks fine. Namespace is included, arguments seem correct

Maybe just didn't save the code?

Maybe you have two files that both contain MouseLook somehow?

[feral moon]

What do you mean "save the code"?

[burnt vapor]

What happends if you right click MouseLook and go to Go to Implementation?

[feral moon]

"MouseLook" and "MouseLookBase"

[burnt vapor]

Just wondering if you referenced te same class here

[feral moon]

Hmm... Don't know...

[burnt vapor]

If you edit your code but never saved it it will not save the new methods. Assuming you just made them.

[feral moon]

I just downloaded the addon and the errors started at once... I've been working with this for a month.

[burnt vapor]

What do you mean addon? Is it not yours?

[feral moon]

Yes, I bought it on the unity hub.

[burnt vapor]

Well I can't say what is wrong when it's an addon. It might be possible it can't even compile

Maybe try redownloading it

FWIW, it all seems fine.

Maybe you can check if it supports your version of Unity @feral moon

Note that if code doesnt compile, it could delegate down as a seperate error to different code

[midnight jolt]

If I need to use gameObject.GetComponent<FetchData>() a lot in my script, should I just make a FetchData data; and

void Start()
{
  data = gameObject.GetComponent<FetchData>();
}```
in the script? Is it good practice? Or should I stick to gameObject.GetComponent....

Both will work, it's just I want to keep my code clean

[eager spindle]

yes this is what you should do

[midnight jolt]

alright, thanks

[wintry quarry]

Awake is better practice

[compact stag]

guys! a question, i got a single audio listener in my game which is the camera, but everytime my character dies my console blows up with the message "There are no audio listeners in the scene. Please ensure there is always one audio listener in the scene"

how would i go about fixing this? should i even try to fix this?

i assume that for game overs i shouldnt delete my character but rather only remove its movement and add a game over screen?

or is there a better way to do it?

[short hazel]

What I usually do is decouple the camera from the player, as in it's not on a child object. That way if I ever need to move the camera somewhere else (to make some transition for example), it's faster to edit the relevant scripts. If you have Cinemachine installed (which you should) it's even easier

[compact stag]

whats cinemachine?

[short hazel]

A package that makes working with cameras easier and adds way more features

Transitions, camera follows with a lot of options, coupled with the Timeline package you can make good cinematic scenes, etc.

[compact stag]

i see

so thats good to use when making a jumpscare correct?

[short hazel]

Maybe?

[naive pawn]

it's for camera movement in general

do your jumpscares involve moving the camera?

[compact stag]

not for this game in specific but it will in the future, id assume i already have to start learning it right now then

thank you guys!

[frail wind]

guy can anyone explain why the Restart Game Button don't work when i click it, even tho i did everything right.

[short hazel]

The button is disabled in the Hierarchy here. Do you get the Debug.Log on line 45 printed in the console?

[frail wind]

what is it have to do with Debug.Log tho?

[short hazel]

You placed a log that should run if the code is executed. If you do not get the log, this means the function isn't being executed

You can use that to ensure the function is executed when you click on the button

If you do not get the log, then the button isn't reacting to the click

[frail wind]

ok let me check if the Debug pop up

god the Debug message poping up like crazy

380 of them

[rich egret]

    {
        if (collision.collider.CompareTag(playerTag))
        {
            if (collision.relativeVelocity.y <= 0)
            {
                TakeDamage();
            }
        }
    }```

Hey I'm trying to make it so that when a player hits an enemy from above it takes away their life
But for some reason it doesn't always work

[frail wind]

and it say "GameOverScreen Show Point
UnityEngine.Debug:Log (object)
LogicScript:Update () (at Assets/script/LogicScript.cs:22)"

[rich egret]

I know it's a problem with the collider or something.

[short hazel]

The log you placed in the RestartLevel() method is "Player restart level", see if you get this one

[frail wind]

nope

[short hazel]

Then the button isn't receiving the click, make sure it is enabled and that no other object is in front of the button (that can block the click event from reaching the button)

[frail wind]

maybe because of the button text

let me check for a bit

[short hazel]

The text is made not interactable for that purpose. Again, I can see that the button is disabled on your screenshot:

[frail wind]

no it apper when player die

and also the button work again but it won't restart the game

[short hazel]

Okay then it might be ScoreOverText that's covering the button

[frail wind]

button are clickable

i got the debug.log as well

[short hazel]

Good, you just have to make sure the "Game" scene exists and is added to your build settings

[frail wind]

oh then i have to rename it then right?

[short hazel]

No you need to check that you have added it to the scene list in your build settings

And that the name is correct, of course

[frail wind]

ok kinda not understand that part, could you explain to me abit

[short hazel]

To reduce the size of your game when you build it into an executable, you need to specify yourself which scenes to include in the game. This is done from your project settings (Edit > Project settings)

[frail wind]

i know what scence is tho

but putting "Game" in scene is where it confuse me

[short hazel]

You do this: SceneManager.LoadScene("Game") - this tells Unity to load the scene called "Game". If you do not have a scene called "Game", nothing happens, or you get an error

[frail wind]

Ohhhh i see

[short hazel]

Your current scene is named "SampleScene", it's the default name:

If you wish to load that one, your code should say so

[frail wind]

i fully understand now

[swift crag]

When you build your game, Unity grabs all of the scenes listed in your build settings

It then figures out all of the assets that are used by anything in these scenes

[feral moon]

Bro, I solved the problem, there was a conflict with the packages...

I have a new problem: Where can I ask about uninitialized objects?

[swift crag]

That's how it decides what belongs in the built game

[swift crag]

I'm not sure what an "uninitialized object" would be here

[short hazel]

If you're using Unity 6, the scene build system has changed it seems, you now use build profiles:https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/BuildSettings.html

[frail wind]

thank, also you kinda unlock part of my brain

👍

[feral moon]

Do you understand what I mean?

NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object
bl_WeaponBob.Movement () (at Assets/MFPS/Scripts/Weapon/Movement/bl_WeaponBob.cs:160)
bl_WeaponBob.OnFixedUpdate () (at Assets/MFPS/Scripts/Weapon/Movement/bl_WeaponBob.cs:100)
MFPS.Internal.bl_UpdateManager.FixedUpdate () (at Assets/MFPS/Scripts/Internal/General/bl_UpdateManager.cs:215)

Right?

[swift crag]

That's not an uninitialized object!

That's no object at all (:

[feral moon]

Where can I ask about this? 😄

[swift crag]

right here, perhaps!

[feral moon]

Really? Okay...

[swift crag]

You are trying to use a null reference on line 160 of your weapon bob script

Show us the code around line 160. Make sure to indicate that line, since we won't have line numbers

[feral moon]

The full code or the part where the error occurred?

Second...

Here my code...

that's not all 😉
For now, I want to deal with this error.

[swift crag]

Okay, so line 160 is

tempWalkSpeed = motor.GetCurrentSpeed() * 0.06f * settings.WalkSpeedMultiplier;

Something on this line is null.

Check that both motor and settings are valid

Well, since you made it past line 158, settings is probably fine

This is an addon, and if I put it on an empty project, everything is fine, but if I put it on my own project, there are errors.

[burnt vapor]

Ah, yep. That's what I mean with how it gets real fucky when it simply can't run the parent code properly. Not being able to compile, but also just not understanding the code, can lead to the program just giving weird bogus errors

Glad that works now

[swift crag]

Check that you don't have another error earlier on

so, pause and scroll up to the very first error in the console

[feral moon]

And before that, there were no mistakes. 😄

I'll try to duplicate the project now and delete the excess - I wonder what will happen.

[swift crag]

rather than throwing out the entire project, you should have a look at why the error is happening

You should at least check if motor is null

throw a Debug.Log(motor) in there

[feral moon]

Okay... I tried

[feral moon]

Here:

if (motor == null)
{
Debug.LogError("motor is null. Ensure it is initialized in the Init() method.");
return;
}

Right?

Oops... Sorry...

[swift crag]

That certainly works, yes

it'll tell you if motor is currently a null reference

Is this code from the asset, though?

It looks like it's reminding you to initialize the component properly

Ok, im having a serious problem Dx , im using "rigidbody.linearVelocity" to move my player, I added the camera and it all works fine, except the fact that the player movement doesnt change no matter where im looking, I am rotating my "Player" gameObject along the Y axis but still nothing, should I be using another type of thing for moving the player or did I do something wrong?

[naive pawn]

Note: The linearVelocity is a world-space property.

[brittle maple]

so rotation has no effect on it or..? How the heck do I make my character move then?

i want to set up ui in a pre known place at the end of this game i can turn it on and show (on the screen) how can i place it in a correct place? screen size is diffrent if i do scale 0.25x 1x and 5x

[naive pawn]

you'll need to modify it according to the rotation of the transform.. trying to find the right method for it, one sec

[feral moon]

This is basically the code from the addon.

[naive pawn]

i think it should be TransformDirection, not too sure though
