whats the exact reason of why binary files break themself when saved as string

[mighty compass]

AI = trash, apparently its replacing us programmers

[rocky canyon]

lmao.. who told you that?

whose gonna program the AI?

[steep rose]

That code had a comment every other line

[rocky canyon]

ya, i just had to scroll up to see 👀

[steep rose]

That's wild, looks like a dictionary

[mystic lark]

Ah never mind

im stupid

[polar acorn]

because you shouldn't be doing that, stop it

[late burrow]

no like

binary containing strings

if i were to edit it in notepad it would break

but in hex editor it wont

why is that

[polar acorn]

Because binary isn't strings

[late burrow]

but they in fact can hold invalid ones

so why not save it

actually it could be also beacuse of loading it

[polar acorn]

Binary is not a string. If it were encoded into a readable format, it would in fact no longer be binary, it would be a string

[late burrow]

oh so i can for example read it as string and write it as bytes and it will still work?

[hot laurel]

he thinks its strimg because he opened it in notepad

[polar acorn]

Do you know what encoding is

[late burrow]

it kinda would be easier if encoding was more universal

like it cant hold emoji and such

[late burrow]

i dont know at which part encoding applies reading string dont need one but writing does

[polar acorn]

Encoding is what decides what the binary data means

[hot laurel]

encodes the binary akhem

[frosty hound]

At this point, just change your name to "StringObsessed", it seems that's all you seem to ask about in the weirdest use cases.

[polar acorn]

For real

stop trying to turn every piece of data in the universe into a string and back

and just learn proper serialization

[frosty hound]

Something something VRChat won't let me something something

[late burrow]

i just wondered as i always had that issue of data disappearing when using notepad and how to avoid that

[polar acorn]

If you want to turn every piece of data into a single universal data type, guess what, there is one it's called byte and you that's what serialization is

[late burrow]

also that, i wasnt even discussing save system on my map

and string is in fact still superior

[hot laurel]

in which world

[polar acorn]

You have no idea how long we've wondered that question

[frosty hound]

This is the same user who went on far too long about script length having a noticeable impact on their games performance. It's not worth getting into it.

[hot laurel]

there only bytes in memory, if you use strings to serialize (edit binary files?) the first is slow and require processing it in both ways

the 2nd in parentheses, well lets skip this part

[hot laurel]

the script length/amount of scripts cant affect game performance in the build, but in editor well, more assets to process, more data to hash, but its unavoidable, sounds like funny topic

[frosty hound]

It wasn't really, unfortunately

[timber tide]

human readable serialization is highly superior ;)

makes fixing merge conflicts actually doable

[swift crag]

i do enjoy being able to easily edit serialized data

it's much less efficient to use delimiters and to limit yourself to just printable characters

however, comma,

YALL MADE MY FIRT EVER GAME WITHOUT A TUTORIAL and a bit of dicord help

but still this is progrres

[compact stag]

hey guys! i need a pointer, i'm recreating the slenderman game and as most people know whenever he is close static appears on your screen, whats the best way to recreate that in unity? should i use transform.distance? or should i do it some other way?

[cosmic dagger]

i don't know (never played it), but if you're checking how close/far one object is to another, that's just a distance check . . .

[compact stag]

so pretty much just make a variable that stores the player's transform then enemy.distance - player.distance?

[cosmic dagger]

what does player.distance or enemy.distance return?

[compact stag]

oh! not distance, sorry, i forgot the term right now, but i think i'd be able to calculate their distance by subtracting both of their transforms, so like, player.transform - enemy.transform

i dont know exactly, i gotta write up the code, just looking for some pointers and to confirm if this is the best way to go about it

[cosmic dagger]

gotcha, was wondering if that was smth else. but yeah, it's just a distance check, so you're fine. you can search: "unity check distance," for a bunch of answers . . .

[rocky canyon]

post processing volume

[compact stag]

how come?

[swift elbow]

i recreated this effect before for my game and all i did was enable a gameobject thats already a child of the player so that i didnt have to manipulate any transform values

[compact stag]

how? with post processing or...?

[swift elbow]

what does post processing have to do with anything i said

[rocky canyon]

its simple..

[cosmic dagger]

because Spawn responded with, "post processing volume," and you chimed in right after (about creating an effect). it sounds like you're talking about the same thing. you never specified if you were talking about checking the distance or creating the effect . . .

[compact stag]

i assumed it was the same way as the other guy said, my bad

[rocky canyon]

the volume controls the fade/ the distance/ all that stuff

[swift elbow]

oh whoops sorry

[rocky canyon]

thats if the noise profiles are good enuff for what u want to do

[swift elbow]

yeah what i was talking about was creating the effect; simply enable an inactive gameobj

thats the easiest method i can recommend

[cosmic dagger]

you may have to explain more. enable and disable a GameObject to do what?

[compact stag]

the post process volume does it all itself? naturally?

[compact stag]

i was about to ask, and how did you make the effect become stronger as the enemy got closer to your player model, Ash?

[swift elbow]

omg i just reread your message and i understood it completely wrong mb 😅 @compact stag

[compact stag]

ur good!!

[swift elbow]

ignore me please

[rocky canyon]

u set the volumes size, and then the blend distance and whenever the camera enters it'll add the effects

[wispy coral]

hey yall just wanted to know the difference between lists and arrays and when is best to use them

[compact stag]

and how would i go about setting the transparency of the video? i want the video to be almost opaque next to the player and transparent when the enemy isnt around

[swift elbow]

heres a good discussion explaining this https://stackoverflow.com/questions/434761/array-versus-listt-when-to-use-which

[wispy coral]

thanks!

[rocky canyon]

film grain -> set the settings u want.. (this will be max settings)
and then its all about ur fade..
once u've left the trigger its automatically transparent..

in -> full effect
out <- no effect

and any fidelity inbetween by changing the parameters

[compact stag]

wait, so, film grain actually effects this? is this a specific use since its static or does that apply to everything else? (assuming film grain is the thing that makes it more/less transparent

because i was planning on using a static video and putting it over the screen

but using this idea might be better

[rocky canyon]

film grain is the noisy stuff over the top... u can change its intensity

but its not really opaque or transparent

[compact stag]

oh! right, just noticed i never mentioned using a video on top of the screen until now, apologies

[compact stag]

gotcha! i appreciate your help

i'll take a look at it! thanks a ton

[rocky canyon]

theres also a custom setting

but i dont know how that works yet

[compact stag]

i like the italic in it

[rocky canyon]

post processing is screen effects..

[compact stag]

gives a bit of suspense

[rocky canyon]

so it could be placed on top of a video..

[compact stag]

yup! i just never thought of using it for some reason

[rocky canyon]

jsut not UI.. (unless its worldspace or overlay UI)

[compact stag]

so, question

if film grain adds static to the screen, can i change the static's pattern someway?

[nocturne kayak]

static is by definition random noise , so no

[rocky canyon]

#💻┃code-beginner message this makes me think u can

[nocturne kayak]

(that's my best guess)

[rocky canyon]

but again.. i dont know how to use it. so maybe search it up and see..

[nocturne kayak]

actually that depends

[rocky canyon]

i know u can w/ shadergraph pretty easily

[compact stag]

shadergraph? whats that?

[nocturne kayak]

what exactly do you want to do? do you wanna display an image on the static? do you wanna change the contrast?

[compact stag]

that makes a lot of sense tbh

[rocky canyon]

[compact stag]

well, that question i asked was just out of curiosity, but my goal is to make it so that when the enemy gets closer, more and more static will appear on your screen (i'm recreating slenderman

[compact stag]

thank you!

[cosmic dagger]

array: set size (cannot be changed)
list: dynamic size (can change)

use arrays when you know the size or limit of the collection.
use lists when you don't know the size or limit of the collection, or if it can expand (increase) in size . . .

Hello, I am going to start randomly generated rooms for my game soon (2d), and I was wondering how I am able to add terrain through my tilemap through code.

sorry if this is confusing through words (which is why i am having trouble search for an answer), but currently I have a grid object with a tilemap object inside. the tilemap object has terrain i built. how can i build terrain in the tilemap through code (which ill be using for random generation)

any help or links to related stuff is appreciated !

[rotund forum]

I don't know if anyone has any recommendations for how to troubleshoot this, but recently I came back to my project, and, I'm not sure if this was there before, but I'm only just noticing now that my character will stutter when moving. (I'm using the character controller along with the input system)

I checked the input system debugger and all I'm seeing is the key for movement being, seemingly, randomly triggered multiple times. All I am doing is leaving my finger on that key ('A', in this instance.). If I let my mouse trigger movement this doesn't happen. I don't know what to make of this. My keyboard functions fine, and yet it seems to be the issue...(?)

[cloud matrix]

{
    textTomato.color = Color.yellow;
}

if (amountTomato == 200)
{
    textTomato.color = Color.yellow;
}```

is there a way to fit both of these into one if statement

[finite chasm]

{
    textTomato.color = Color.yellow;
}```

[cloud matrix]

thank u

[finite chasm]

that shoudl be right anyway since they both end up doing the same thing

your welcome

[cloud matrix]

so basically the || is to do more than one?

[finite chasm]

|| is OR in programming

[cloud matrix]

good to know thank yu

[finite chasm]

like if this = that OR = that

np

[cloud matrix]

is therea way to just straight up make it if its a multiple of 100? or do i have to type them all like that

[finite chasm]

modulus operator? %

so like if amountTomato % 100 equals 0 the number is a multiple of 100

should work

[finite chasm]

{
    textTomato.color = Color.yellow;
}```

something like this

[cloud matrix]

ill try now ty

[finite chasm]

np

need anymore help lmk dms are also always open for longer stuff

[cloud matrix]

it works but i only want the number '100', '200', etc to be yellow, the ones after that are also yellow

[cosmic dagger]

There are a bunch of tutorials for Tactics RPG, turn-based strategy RPG, and isometriRPGsPG on YouTube . . .

[finite chasm]

ohhhh

[cloud matrix]

yeyeye

sorry if the multiple thing didnt make sense

[finite chasm]

{
    textTomato.color = Color.yellow;
}```

this is rough cause im tired but that should make it to where it makes sure its a multiple of 100 and that its greater than 100. so 200 should work but 201 shouldn't

if you need me to break it down further i can

[cloud matrix]

the other numbers are still yellow

[proper pier]

I couldnt really find any honestly

[finite chasm]

ah i forgot something

[cosmic dagger]

If you only need 100 and 200, it's easier to just use the OR operator for both values . . .

[finite chasm]

she said mutliples of 100, going up to infinity assume

[cloud matrix]

nah that was just an example i wanna do it for every hundred, 100, 200, 300, and so on

[finite chasm]

you need the other condition.

{
    textTomato.color = Color.white; // default color
}```

well its supposed to say else at the top

[cosmic dagger]

Then just use an else that sets it to the default (other) color . . .

[finite chasm]

add that after the other code i sent

[finite chasm]

ye i got it just took a sec for my brain to process what he was wanting since im tired lol

[cosmic dagger]

If it's a multiple of 100, turn yellow; else, turn default . . .

[cloud matrix]

{
    textTomato.color = Color.yellow;
}

textTomato.color = Color.white; // default color``` outside like this?

[finite chasm]

no, that second one should be wrapped in an else statement

[cloud matrix]

ohh right, im slow 🤦‍♀️

[finite chasm]

{
    textTomato.color = Color.yellow;
}
else
{
    textTomato.color = Color.white; // default
}```

all good 👍

[cloud matrix]

works like a charm tysm

[finite chasm]

np

[cloud matrix]

one last thing would there be a more efficient way of doing this

{
    textTomato.text = "1K";
}

if(amountTomato >= 1100)
{
    textTomato.text = "1.1K";
}```

[finite chasm]

yes ive actually seen very similar to this before gotta remember how to do it, you can use the .ToString to format decimal places

one sec

[cloud matrix]

oo okay

[finite chasm]

{
    float displayValue = amountTomato / 1000f; // convert
    textTomato.text = displayValue.ToString("0.#") + "K"; // format
}```

should be like this so if amountTomato = 1000 its 1K, 1100 = 1.1K, etc etc

[cloud matrix]

ill tset it now, might tatke a while for me to get to 1000 tho 😭

[finite chasm]

sorry im so used to adding comments when i make code its just habit lol

ohh wait

i think i know why

[finite chasm]

worked 5 min ago changed nothing now it doesnt work

[cloud matrix]

😭

EXACTLYY

[finite chasm]

normally breaking something then restarting unity fixes it, for me at least

[cloud matrix]

i fixed it, it was because i tried adding the same tex tcolor thing but for 1000 but i forgot that the else statement said keep the color to white

if that makes sense

[finite chasm]

brain said its too late to process that but my eyes understood what you said

[cloud matrix]

LMFAO

idk how to explain it its confusing

[finite chasm]

🤷

[cloud matrix]

{
    textTomato.color = Color.yellow;
}
else
{
    textTomato.color = Color.white; // default
}```

tried adding this but this 

```textTomato.color = Color.white; // default```

stopped the 100 text from turning yellow

[naive pawn]

couldn't you put the K inside the format string

[naive pawn]

yes this would make 100 not pass the condition

100 % 1000 is 100

[cloud matrix]

im failing math

[naive pawn]

you don't need to make a separate thing for multiples of 1000 if you're going for the same result

[cloud matrix]

oh

[naive pawn]

all multiples of 1000 are also multiples of 100

[cloud matrix]

yeah im definetly failing maths

[finite chasm]

i mean you could yeah. doesnt really make a difference

at least i dont think it does

[cloud matrix]

how do i constantly update a text to be the same amount as an int

[proper pier]

Ive seen many of these. I was hoping for something with more reading involved. Reading kinda helps explain some more of the advanced stuff better. Appreciate the search tho, thanks.

[finite chasm]

use Update()

[cloud matrix]

ohh right thnaku

[finite chasm]

textTomato.text = amountTomato.ToString();

in Update()

if your referring to those same variables that is idk

[cloud matrix]

im learning more from the people in discord than youtube tutorials help

[cloud matrix]

yeah u got it

[naive pawn]

would technically be more efficient

[naive pawn]

also like, that's the point of format strings, to see your value in context

[finite chasm]

sure

[finite chasm]

working?

[cloud matrix]

i dont thin kso

[finite chasm]

wait

i thought you only wanted multiples of 100 to be yellow?

so 1132 is not

[cloud matrix]

yeah

that part is right

[finite chasm]

so it SHOULD be white, no?

[cloud matrix]

im talking abt the 1.1k thing

[finite chasm]

oh

did it work when you were at exactly 1100?

[naive pawn]

then you would assign the text to the result of the formatting, not a direct stringification

the ToString("0.#K")

[finite chasm]

{
    float displayValue = amountTomato / 1000f;
    textTomato.text = string.Format("{0:0.#}K", displayValue);
}
else
{
    textTomato.text = amountTomato.ToString();
}```
?

[cloud matrix]

sorry im back

[cloud matrix]

ill try

it still shows the number

[cosmic dagger]

Call a method to update the text when the value changes . . .

[finite chasm]

debug time?

already answered that question btw.

[cloud matrix]

https://pastebin.com/KNWqdkrn this is all my code

[naive pawn]

make sure you've saved and restarted

[cloud matrix]

ill restart unity gimme a sec

still the same

[finite chasm]

couple things. seems that theres no need for update since the logic is already handled in Tap(). only thing i can think of is basic stuff like make sure the textTomato reference is assigned properly and make srue the Tap() function is actually being called

[tawny grove]

why do i have to set my tile anchors to 0.5 instead of 0 or 1? did i mess something up? (when i dont, the tiles arnt aligned properly

[finite chasm]

btw, im going to bed, so hopefully someone else can help or you can just message me later.

[cloud matrix]

alright thanks for the help btw i learnt alot

[rancid badger]

remove update() code, it is called every frame

[burnt vapor]

That doesn't really hurt the application, but in their case I don't see why it can't just be updated when Tap is called

The UI logic should probably be seperated in general from the actual behaviour

[cloud matrix]

is there a way to make a rawimages size expand when hovering over it
im guessing it would be done with an event trigger?

[naive pawn]

not a code problem; but it's probably with how you've set up your pivots

[tawny grove]

how can i create a prefab of a structure in a tilemap (like a box) and be able to paste those boxes through code into the same tile map?

right now i am able to create tiles through the tilemap.settile function, but is there ways to paste entire structures into the tilemap without creating the structure in code?

[eager spindle]

you can store your structure's tiles in an array and use SetTiles with it

[queen adder]

there is no 3D Perlin noise in Unity. I am wondering if it's possible to achieve it using something like this:

val = (perlin2d(x, y) + perlin2d(x, z) + perlin2d(y, z)) / 3🤔

[west radish]

I dont think that could work. The technical reason is because (2d) perlin noise creates a random set of noise values, and those values are used to find a gradient (which is basically just a direction to point in)

as its 2d those lines wont point up into the 3rd dimension. so its not able to understand what values are above or below

[gilded canyon]

how do i make my circle overlap all only affect the player only once per animation

private void FixedUpdate()
{
Collider2D[] colliders = Physics2D.OverlapCircleAll(posHit.position, 1f, lm);
if (colliders.Length > 0&&en.anim.GetBool("attack")==true)
{
c.health--;
}
}

[west radish]

Is this something like in games where the player gets hit, then the sprite flickers on and off to show how you cant get hurt for some time, then when that animation ends you can get hurt again?

[burnt vapor]

Consider using Physics2D.OverlapCircle if you call Physics2D.OverlapCircleAll in (Fixed)Update because you are now allocating an array very often for no reason

[gilded canyon]

basically posHit is the sword transform. and the enmy just swings it in it's anim. now if i run this my players health drops to 0 in one swing becuase of c.healt--; being called repeatedly

[gilded canyon]

ill try that

[gilded canyon]

it works but the original problem still stands

[burnt vapor]

Sorry, not sure what your problem is from the question

Just wanted to point out the performance issue

[gilded canyon]

c.health-- is called repeatedly in one animation play. i only want it to affect the player once per animation

[burnt vapor]

Sounds like you need invisibility frames?

I'd say add a timestamp when the hit happened using Time.time and check if a certain amount of time passed before deducting health again

See here, and also a good example of using a timestamp https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.0/Documentation/ScriptReference/Time-time.html

The example does the same, but instead delays firing

[gilded canyon]

ill have a look

oh

[gilded canyon]

also since it is time elapsed would time.deltaTime be a better fit?

[west radish]

bool PlayerIsHurt = false;

update() {
  Collider2d[] colliders = ...;
  
  bool enemyValidAttack = colliders.Length > 0;
  //this condition must be true when the enemy is currently 
  //attacking the player, and that the attack will definitely
  //cause the player to lose health
  //i.e player has a sword through them right now
   
  if(PlayerIsHurt == false && enemyValidAttack == true) {
    //player is not currently hurt, but the enemy has attacked
    
    health--;
    PlayerIsHurt = true;
  }

  if(PlayerIsHurt == true && enemyValidAttack == false) {
      //the player has been hurt in the past few moments
      //but now the enemy is not currently attacking
      //so reset the hurt bool, this will allow the player to be attacked again
      PlayerIsHurt = false;
  }    
}```

[burnt vapor]

No need because you don't use a system that is on a per-frame basis

Only if you were incrementing some timer manually, but a timestamp is set once when hurt

And Time.time is frame-independent

[gilded canyon]

i see

[west radish]

@burnt vapor I wouldnt suggest they use the code, just as a way to see how you'd cancel something from occurring multiple times

[burnt vapor]

Sure, but your code allows the player to basically hug an enemy without it ever registering twice

Or better yet, basically any collideable object that hurts. As long as you hug at least one, the player is invincible

[west radish]

no it would mean if you get hit by a sword, only the first time the sword enters the collider, is when the first if statement gets called. next frame when the sword is still inside, the player wont get hurt, as the health-- conditon cant be entered again

only when the sword then leaves the player, would that open the second if statement up to be entered, allowing the first if statement to be entered once again

[gilded canyon]

this was actually my first trial fix for the problem but it didnt work

[burnt vapor]

It would not, there is no proper way to handle the colliders like this

[west radish]

@gilded canyon actually you know what? why not disable the collider when the hurt animation is active

[gilded canyon]

this works thanks!

[burnt vapor]

Games have always enforces invincibility frames

[west radish]

no collider means no more valid hits

[burnt vapor]

Or you know, use invincibility frames like all games do 🫴 #💻┃code-beginner message

[gilded canyon]

its not a collider its a overlapcircle. and if i did do that i have to renable it via animation event at the start of every hit but it still doesnt work

[burnt vapor]

Why would you make it more complicated with juggling colliders when you can literally just make the player invincible for a frame

Constant damage is bad feedback anyway

[gilded canyon]

already did!

[burnt vapor]

No I get it, just want to point out that it's a pretty basic feature

[west radish]

ah, I assumed overlapcircle was doing something more collider/body related

[burnt vapor]

I can understand that maybe you can also disable the sword from hurting the player, but in that case I would advice you do a reference check or an instance id check on the weapon against a player

Don't disable anything, because you limit yourself in what is possible (example, you can't hit multiple objects with the sword)

[gilded canyon]

also if yall dont mind me asking wht would be a more fun solution for stealth. hiding behind and moving with a prop for a disguise. or something like the disguise kit from tf2 where you can change character with a mouseclick

[burnt vapor]

Sorry, I have no idea

I guess it also depends on the actual game you make

[ivory saffron]

i want to make an ability (3D) that creates an expanding spherical AOE. But i dont know what it should do on the ground or in corners. i guess i'm looking for something like flood fill, but the result should resemble a sphere or a cylinder.

[naive pawn]

should it pass through walls?

if yes then you could just ignore the whole issue of collision

[ripe shard]

Make a set, physics.overlapsphere and add all hits within it, then take a box that bounds the combat area, physics.overlapbox that and intersect hits with the sphere hits in the set.

typically, 3D games that don’t use a grid ignore that kind of thing and make walls thick and rooms rather spaced out

[west radish]

[Header("Bounding Box")]

I want to know if IDE is available in my script since I downloaded a new version of visual studio that I linked with unity

[burnt vapor]

This is Visual Studio Code, not Visual Studio

[north kiln]

Your phrasing makes absolutely no sense

[burnt vapor]

An IDE is an editor like Visual Studio

So that makes no sense

[west radish]

the IDE is the thing you write code inside, could you explain what you mean by this?

[burnt vapor]

I assume they are asking if they have it configured from their phrasing, in which case it's not

[west radish]

yeah, but the usage of "IDE" is causing some miscommunication here

[burnt vapor]

Hence the phrasing

[west radish]

@minor radish do you mean, "will I be able to open up this file inside an IDE"?

[minor radish]

No what I mean is that "is there something which guide to do my script ?" since as far as I know about IDE it's something that makes the task easier to do in a script but it looks like I don't understand it at all.

[frail hawk]

intellisense

is what you are looking for

[tough tartan]

hi im currently trying to get an enemy to move around the map and ive got all the code and followed this tutorial up to the part where he talks about baking which for some reason isnt allowing me to bake properly and therefore not allowing the enemy to move around https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UjkSFoLxeswv

[burnt vapor]

Yes, that's intellisense. Please follow one of the links to set up your !ide 🫴 #💻┃code-beginner message

[eternal falcon]

💡 IDE Configuration

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

Select one:

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

[burnt vapor]

In your case for VS Code, though I advice you download Visual Studio or Rider manually as it is not as clunky

[frail hawk]

iwas wondering, how did you determine that his IDE is not set up correctly

[burnt vapor]

Lack of syntax highlighting

[tough tartan]

baking is about 4:40

[frail hawk]

in VS it is obviusly though in VS code not sure.

[burnt vapor]

In VSCode's case it does a good job on trying to do it right, but it's clear it's not configured when enums like KeyCode and Vector2 remain bland because it doesn't know wether it works with a variable or an actual enum

In the case of VS you can often see misconfiguration because it simply doesn't know what MonoBehaviour is, but VSCode can support any language so it doesn't error as quick and it makes a lot of assumptions, hence why it knows Monobehaviour and RigidBody2D are probably classes somewhere

[frail hawk]

oh okay

[lucid quiver]

try regenerating project files if nothing works

[lucid quiver]

there are a lot of signs one of them is that u can see the number of referrences of each variables and methods above them, if thats not there its a pretty good sign that ur ide isnt properly setup

[minor radish]

I'm downloading it currently I hope it will work

[frail hawk]

so you switched to VS from VS Code

[lucid quiver]

no he switched from VS code to VS

[lucid quiver]

VS code would also work if u set it up properly and its also lighter.

[frail hawk]

he was using vs code before when he posted the screen shot

[lucid quiver]

ya but he hadnt set it up properly

u need intellisense extension unity debugger and unity extension, and then u need to regernerate project files from unity project

[burnt vapor]

What's the difference?

[tiny vault]

is there a maximum to how much code you can sent in here at once ? Like is it against the guidelines if i send 100 lines of code?

[burnt vapor]

Set up the Unity workload and set VS as the external editor. Then it works.

[burnt vapor]

No, but in terms of readability it is preferred if you use a paste site for much code

[lucid quiver]

well code wise nothing but i prefer vscode so i am kinda biased

[burnt vapor]

Also for mobile users because Discord formatting sucks on mobile

[burnt vapor]

VS and Rider will always be better for C# development

[plush chasm]

When you subscribe to public event Action testEvent; like this.. testEvent += VoidMethodCalled is the method VoidMethodCalled that subscribes to the testEvent an Action itself?

[ripe shard]

No, an action is a wrapper object around a method, that can be used to call it by reference. It’s called a delegate and is a concept similar to a function pointer.

[plush chasm]

but doesn't testEvent do exactly that?.. When testEvent?.Invoke(); is called it loops through its subscribed list and calls their methods

[cloud matrix]

{
    anim.SetTrigger("Walk");
}``` any reason why this wont work?

it says something about the || but idk what else to use

or do i have to do them all seperate

[plush chasm]

dont think you can combine them and you should use KeyCode.W

[burnt vapor]

Please learn basic C#

[cloud matrix]

im trying :)

[cloud matrix]

alr all good

[burnt vapor]

Seriously, if you can't see why this is invalid syntax I strongly recommend you try some basic C# projects first

[tawdry quest]

Yep ari go relearn C#

[cloud matrix]

damn bro mb

[burnt vapor]

There's something that comes close called pattern matching, but it won't work with Input.GetKeyDown anyway

[cloud matrix]

didnt know ur life depended on my code 😭

[ripe shard]

an event is a C# language construct that does what you say in principle, however you cannot fully reason about how c# works in terms of C# actions and objects

[tawdry quest]

Ur the one wanting help, no need to be like this or we throw you out

[burnt vapor]

It's not, and I'm confused why this is your response. I am suggesting this to you because you are going to have a very tough time with Unity if you have to learn C# as well

[night raptor]

Input.GetKeyDown("W") returns a bool, ("A") doesn't (it's a string), that's why it doesn't work. || only works for two bools

[cloud matrix]

thanks

[brave compass]

When you do

testEvent += VoidMethodCalled;

it is shorthand for

testEvent += new Action(VoidMethodCalled);

So the answer to the question "is the method VoidMethodCalled ... an Action itself" is no, but you implicitly create an Action that references the method.

[burnt vapor]

I feel like any attempt to explain the problem just ends up making it even more confusing

[cloud matrix]

nah he just fixed it for me

it works now

[ripe shard]

If you think too hard about applying c# language rules to how c# actually works you run into some contradictions

[burnt vapor]

Share your code

[night raptor]

may we see how you did it?

[tawdry quest]

Doubt it does, but sure

[cloud matrix]

i just did them all seperately

bc he explained why they wouldnt work

[night raptor]

sounds right

[tawdry quest]

Not the correct apporoach, but should work

[plush chasm]

What I am really trying to do is simply wrap the event += MethodToCall and wondering if this is incorrect.. it seems to work

public void AddListener(Action d ){
      notification += d;
      //extra code here
  }

[night raptor]

Sure you could use input mappings but getting things to work should be the first step when learning to code

[tawdry quest]

@cloud matrix please watch more C# tutorials, before you get more issues like this, there are webtools, YouTube Vids, etc for C# learning

[tawdry quest]

Yeah other thing is why they using the old input system

Prolly a horrible out of date tutorial

[burnt vapor]

TBH Unity's old input system is very limited and horrible so checking multiple keys will never look good

[ripe shard]

This works, it’s called a higher order function where you pass in parts of it’s implementation as an argument, and it does work because of the wrapper (delegate) being a reference to some other method.

[brave compass]

Yes, this is the correct approach.
You can also do this by overriding the add and remove of an event property:

private Action notification;

public event Action MyCustomEvent {
    add {
        notification += value;
        // extra code here
    }
    remove {
        notification -= value;
        // extra code here
    }
}

Which can then be used as a normal event:

myClass.MyCustomEvent += VoidMethodCalled;

[plush chasm]

thanks I think I got it now

[tiny vault]

does anyone have any ideas how to make sure that if this return true, OnPuzzleCompleted is called ?
// If the puzzle is complete and not already flagged, call OnPuzzleCompleted.
if (!isPuzzleComplete) {
isPuzzleComplete = true; // Mark the puzzle as complete to prevent multiple triggers
OnPuzzleCompleted(); // Trigger the completion logic
}

return true;

} i have tried this, but it just makes the game constantly load between different scenes

[orchid kite]

Guys I’m making 2d platformer and when I jump on a platform my character is always rolling and bouncing around and the jumping is very glitchy pls help

[lucid quiver]

freeze z rotation

[lucid quiver]

if what returns true?

[tiny vault]

CheckCompletion

[lucid quiver]

u could subscribe it to an OnCompletion event and call it at the end

[orchid kite]

K this is what it looks like

[lucid quiver]

did u freeze z rotation?

[cloud matrix]

I have loop time set to on in the animation settings but it doesnt loop any help

{
    anim.SetTrigger("Walk");
}```

[burnt vapor]

What is pieces[i].name? Why is it a string and not an integer? This comparison is weird

If it's guaranteed to be an integer, why not use an integer?

[minor radish]

Does it work now is the phrasing here

[lucid quiver]

wait yes it works

[lucid quiver]

check if autocomplete and code snippets work

[lucid quiver]

go to the constraints of ur player's ridigibody 2d and freeze rotation for Z axis

How to make the char move

[burnt vapor]

This is something you can just look up. Right now you probably haven't even tried it

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wo6TarvTL5Q

[torn dome]

i did but the tutorials was for top down movement or full 3d movement

[lucid quiver]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5n_hmqHdijM

[torn dome]

and iam not that good at english

[lucid quiver]

do this is is for fps pov

[short hazel]

If your player moves side by side, it's better to have Left/Right (A/D) as one axis, and the jump (Up or Z) as another, instead of a single 2D Vector for the full WASD

From your screenshot it seems that you're in 3D, but always using a fixed perspective, like in 2D

[orchid kite]

Alr

[lucid quiver]

i am assuming thats because he doesnt know how to setup cinemachine yet

[short hazel]

That has no link to using Cinemachine

You can make games without using that

[torn dome]

i want controlls like in super smash bros if you know it

[short hazel]

Yeah so 3D but viewed from the side

[torn dome]

So i just use 2d input system

[short hazel]

Something like this yes

[lucid quiver]

if u only need a single set of controls u could just use unity's old input system, it would be simpler

[burnt vapor]

No, you should not use old deprecated legacy features just because it's easier

[lucid quiver]

i also thought that but a mod told me yesterday that it isnt depricated and that its the original input system now

[short hazel]

Plus the new one is enabled by default IIRC, so it's more hassle to re-enable the old one

[burnt vapor]

I know, I already modified my message to clarify it's not actually deprecated before yours

It's legacy, like the old text system. Just like with that, you should not use it

It just remains for backwards compatibility

[orchid kite]

Ok that works but my jumping is very glitchy look

[lucid quiver]

post ur jumping code for movement and jumping

[orchid kite]

Alr

[lucid quiver]

also learn to screen record dude

[orchid kite]

I’m on my phone sry

[lucid quiver]

its fine for now

[balmy hearth]

So i have the Problem that when i shoot at the player he is losing damage but i see his health and mine at the same time

[hot laurel]

because you have 2 standalone instances of TestMeshProUI?

if there was one you would have one

alr thanks man

[languid spire]

did you not read or just not understand the bot message?

[orchid kite]

i formatted the code

[languid spire]

Large Blocks should use a paste site, yours is a large block

[orchid kite]

sry

ill do it next time

[lucid quiver]

instead of doing getbuttondown and getting it from axis just try getkey and use keycode

[orchid kite]

alr

thx

[lucid quiver]

if it still doesnt work try changing the ground check to use a raycast instead

[orchid kite]

ok i am gonna eat and then try thanks

also do u know how i can split up my monkey character to animate later by chance

[lucid quiver]

what do u mean by split up?

[orchid kite]

like split arm and legs for example

[lucid quiver]

do u need to split it for animation?

[orchid kite]

yes

[cloud matrix]

{
    anim.SetBool("Walk", false);
    anim.SetTrigger("MoveShoot");
}```

any reason why this doesnt work?

basically tryna make it so if ur moving and shooting the shooting anim plays instead of the moving one

[lucid quiver]

then just make them different sprites and put them under a empty gameobject

[orchid kite]

okkk

[torn dome]

I used code at the end and it worked

[cloud matrix]

im still tryna learn raycasts tbh

[burnt vapor]

What doesn't work?

Does it call the code?

Does SetBool work? Does SetTrigger work? More context please

If it's the wrong animation then it's probably pointing to the wrong animation?

This code is valid so idk what else to say

[cloud matrix]

https://pastebin.com/Wbq1egy2

[cloud matrix]

ill show a vid

okay wtf nevermind it just decides to work now 😭

[lucid quiver]

just saying but try getmousebutton instead of getmousbuttondown and see if it works

[cloud matrix]

yaeh i had to change getkeydown to getkey bc when i was pressing two buttons and then letting go of the first one the animation stopped, so this would probably work thx

[lucid quiver]

i am a bit confused about the working of it thats why i stopped using the old system
the documentation says that getmousedown is only supposed to return true on the instance that the mouse was clicked but most of the time it still returns true as long as mousbutton is pressed down

[cloud matrix]

imma learn how to add gun cooldown brb

[shell dagger]

why that box just on air?

[short hazel]

Nope it doesn't, it returns true for the first frame the button is held down. So if you have two or more of the same GetButtonDown() following each other in Update, then they'll all return true. It's not setting it back to false when you call the method for the first time

[shell dagger]

scene box is working

how i search this one

[lucid quiver]

ya i mean thats what it says in the doc so ari's function here doesnt work

[lucid quiver]

can u show the jump component and speed component scripts?

[shell dagger]

that just data script

[lucid quiver]

try restarting the project

[shell dagger]

same

work in main scene

how i fix this box in subscene?

[scarlet hull]

can i somehow drag this into this? they are in diffrent scenes

[hot laurel]

GameObjects are bound to scene they are instantiated in, you cant cross reference. You can use prefab or on scene load look for given gameobject in other scenes. So you can store gameObject name and look for it later, there are other solutions too.

[burnt vapor]

Why are they in different scenes anyway?

Is this some save object you want to save or something?

[rich adder]

https://unity.huh.how/references/cross-scene-references

[kind cave]

How to set frame rate to unlimited?

Android

Is it Application.targetFrameRate = -1; ?

[frail hawk]

even if that is possible i would not do that, it is recommended to limit the fps on mobile to save battery

[kind cave]

It's in player settings

30, 60 and unlimited

Default will be 60

[swift crag]

on mobile, a target frame rate of -1 winds up giving you 30 fps

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Application-targetFrameRate.html

[kind cave]

Oh, so there is no other way huh

[swift crag]

you must pick a specific framerate if you want anything higher

[kind cave]

Alright, 90 then

[swift crag]

You should figure out the display's refresh rate and use that

[kind cave]

You, there is no unlimited

[swift crag]

I think that's what Pokemon Go does, for example

the default is 30, and there's a setting to use the native refresh rate

[kind cave]

Then that's going to be the third option

Thanks

[grand snow]

I set the frame rate to the device refresh rate as otherwise it will be 30 by default

[kind cave]

So like this? ```void Start()
{
int refreshRate = Screen.currentResolution.refreshRate; // Get native refresh rate
Application.targetFrameRate = refreshRate; // Match it
}

[grand snow]

Something like this yea I forget it's in many projects that in work on.

[lapis veldt]

Hello. How can I make my jump script synchronize with the jump animation? I am using the unity input system for character movement

[swift crag]

You can use animation events to get a callback at a certain point in the animation

[misty pecan]

void Flip() { facingRight = !facingRight; Vector3 Scaler = transform.localScale; Scaler.x *= -1; transform.localScale = Scaler; }

if (facingRight == false && moveInput > 0) {Flip();} if (facingRight == true && moveInput < 0) {Flip();}

this code is doing nothing for some reason

it started doing this after adding animations to do with scale does anyone know a fix

[verbal dome]

Did you check that Flip is getting called, with a Debug.Log? for example?

[swift crag]

Perhaps your animations are controlling the scale of the player

[verbal dome]

Do you have an animator that could be modifying the scale?

[misty pecan]

yes i have done

yes i do but i dont know the way around this sorry im a beginner

ive been stuck on this for a while ive searched everywhere for solutions

[misty pecan]

how do i make the animation play flipped when the character is flipped and vice versa basically what im asking

[swift crag]

You can check if this is happening by trying to change the player's scale while the game is running

just go in the inspector and type something in

if the value immediately resets, then the animator is controlling it

[misty pecan]

yes youre right

so what do i do?

[verbal dome]

Remove the scale keyframes from the animations that your character uses, i suppose

[misty pecan]

i want to keep the animation though i just want it to play flipped when character is flipped this must be possible?

[verbal dome]

I didnt say remove the whole animation, just remove the keyframes that modify your scale

Could just remove the X scale and keep Y if you want

[misty pecan]

ok i will try this

[swift crag]

I'm pretty sure the animator can't control a single axis like that

You can set a sprite renderer to flip on the X axis using the flipX property

This wouldn't cause all of your child objects to flip, though

[misty pecan]

i removed all keyframes from x axis and its still stuck at its default scale

[swift crag]

alternatively, consider setting up your character like this

[misty pecan]

no good

[swift crag]

• Character
  • Body <-- animator, sprite renderer
    • Hitbox
  • Whatever

you can freely manipulate the Character object

[verbal dome]

You right

[swift crag]

Body (and all of its children) will be affected by whatever the animator does to its scale

[misty pecan]

ok makes sense i will try it

perfect thank you for this

[swift crag]

This is how I set up most of my prefabs

[misty pecan]

nevermind hes teleporting to the mirrored side of the screen wtf

[swift crag]

Your body is probably positioned far away from the root right now

make sure its local position is zero

[misty pecan]

should the rigidbody be on the parent object or still on the body

[misty pecan]

done this

[swift crag]

It should go on the parent object

along with, say, the character movement component

[nocturne kayak]

Hey, i think i'm understanding vector3.project incorrectly

Can someone give me a hand here?

(https://hastebin.com/share/ilarilinaw.java <- code)

i'm trying to project the green sphere onto the green line based on the red sphere's movement

it seems to be projecting correctly, just at an offset, i suppose

[swift crag]

You're getting a direction, but you're missing an origin

Subtract the origin of that green line, do the projection, and then add the origin back

[nocturne kayak]

That... works, although i don't understand why that works

[swift crag]

It doesn't make sense to project a position

A position is a point in space. It doesn't have a direction, really

[nocturne kayak]

That i understand (which honestly makes Vector3 confusing to me sometimes)

[swift crag]

The problem would be more obvious if we were using homogeneous coordinates, actually

they're 4D points

the 4th component is 1 for a position and 0 for a direction

it winds up neatly making sense

[3,0,0,1] - [1,0,0,1] = [2,0,0,0]

you can add directions to each other, and you can add a direction to a point

but you can't add two points together, for example

[nocturne kayak]

Hold on, is this how they actually work or jsut a quick abstraction you're doing to help me get it?

I get there are direction vectors and positional vectors

position is easy to get, simple coordinates in space

but direction is a bit tougher to visualize

[swift crag]

check out something like https://www.tomdalling.com/blog/modern-opengl/explaining-homogenous-coordinates-and-projective-geometry/ for a more in-depth look at that

but yes -- if you're using 3-vectors in 3D space, positions and directions aren't distinct

you can interpret the same value as both a position and a direction

[swift crag]

Suppose we want to project a position of [10,1,0] onto a ray in the [0,1,0] direction whose origin is at [10,0,0]

If we just do the projection naively, we throw out the X component completely

the result is a position of [0,1,0]

By subtracting the origin before projecting, we get just the direction between the origin and the point

which makes sense to project

and then we add the origin back to get a position again

[10,1,0] - [10,0,0] = [0,1,0]
projecting [0,1,0] onto [0,1,0] does nothing
[0,1,0] + [10,0,0] = [10,1,0]

and that's the result we actually wanted

[naive pawn]

it does though?
in 2d, projecting a point P onto a line L is drawing a line that's perpendicular to L and passes through P, then taking the point P' as the intersection of that line and L

in 3d, same with a plane instead of a line, no?

[swift crag]

You can do it, but does it make sense?

[naive pawn]

yes?

if you look through the plane orthogonally, where does the point end up on the plane

[swift crag]

yes, and you can also multiply the point by 3 trillion, but does that make sense? (:

[naive pawn]

if you need to, yeah

[swift crag]

The goal is to find a point on the line based on the position of the red sphere

[naive pawn]

are you talking about "making sense" for the actual problem, or just the operation?

[swift crag]

The former.

[naive pawn]

ah, ok. mb then, thought you meant the latter

[swift crag]

Projecting the position of the red sphere onto the direction of the line only makes sense if the line originates from the origin

[naive pawn]

which line?

[swift crag]

(because in that case, subtracting the line's origin does nothing anyway)

the green line

[naive pawn]

you wouldn't project onto the direction of the line, you'd project onto the line

doesn't have to be from the origin

[swift crag]

well, sure, but you do that by subtracting the origin of the ray from your position, then projecting that onto the direction of the ray

(and then adding the ray's origin back in)

Vector3 projectedPointOnNormal = Vector3.Project(pointOnPlane, axisHandler.transform.up);

This is what the problem code did.

The correct code would be...

Vector3 result = pointOnPlane - axisHandler.transform.position;
result = Vector3.Project(result, axisHandler.transform.up);
result += axisHandler.transform.position;

[naive pawn]

you're just reassigning result there?

[swift crag]

oopsie

I changed the name and didn't update one of the uses

🤫

[naive pawn]

i think i missed too much context to really think about the situation lol

[nocturne kayak]

Gizmos.color = Color.red; Vector3 pointOnPlane = ray.GetPoint(enter); Gizmos.DrawWireSphere(pointOnPlane, 0.1f); Gizmos.color = Color.green; Vector3 projectedPointOnNormal = Vector3.Project(pointOnPlane - axisHandler.transform.position, axisHandler.transform.up ); Gizmos.DrawWireSphere( projectedPointOnNormal + axisHandler.transform.position , 0.2f);

This seemed to work

i dont get why id want a result += there

[naive pawn]

it's offseting by axisHandler.transform.position

[swift crag]

you're trying to snap to a point on a ray, correct?

oh, you did the same thing as I did, just without modifying projectedPointOnNormal

Something(foo + bar)

is identical to

foo += bar;
Something(foo);

it's just that your code winds up with a misleadingly-named variable

projectedPointOnNormal contains the projected vector -- which tells you how far away from the axis handler's position your point should be

The proper name would be projectedVector or offset or something like that

Vector3 rayOrigin = axisHandler.transform.position;
Vector3 rayDirection = axisHandler.transform.up;

Vector3 originalOffset = pointOnPlane - rayOrigin;
Vector3 projectedOffset = Vector3.Project(originalOffset, rayDirection);
Vector3 finalPosition = projectedOffset + rayOrigin;

Perhaps that makes it more clear?

[lucid quiver]

while storing single point positions in vector3 i like to visualize them as position vecotrs, it helps withe the understanding

[errant rock]

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

public class Example : MonoBehaviour
{
private CharacterController controller;
private Vector3 playerVelocity;
private bool groundedPlayer;
private float playerSpeed = 2.0f;
private float jumpHeight = 1.0f;
private float gravityValue = -9.81f;

private void Start()
{
    controller = gameObject.AddComponent<CharacterController>();
}

void Update()
{
    groundedPlayer = controller.isGrounded;
    if (groundedPlayer && playerVelocity.y < 0)
    {
        playerVelocity.y = 0f;
    }

    Vector3 move = new Vector3(Input.GetAxis("Horizontal"), 0, Input.GetAxis("Vertical"));
    controller.Move(move * Time.deltaTime * playerSpeed);

    if (move != Vector3.zero)
    {
        gameObject.transform.forward = move;
    }

    // Makes the player jump
    if (Input.GetButtonDown("Jump") && groundedPlayer)
    {
        playerVelocity.y += Mathf.Sqrt(jumpHeight * -2.0f * gravityValue);
    }

    playerVelocity.y += gravityValue * Time.deltaTime;
    controller.Move(playerVelocity * Time.deltaTime);
}

}

What do I need to change here to make my character move? I just need a simple wasp jump control

[naive pawn]

seems like the movement should work fine, but this just makes no sense

gameObject.transform.forward = move;

[errant rock]

I just copied and pasted the unity example

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/CharacterController.Move.html

[naive pawn]

oh wait yeah i see what that's doing

there's no mouse movement there

so what's not working with it

[errant rock]

well the character just doesn't move at all

[naive pawn]

have you set the input axes

[errant rock]

gravity and all the collision boxes work, just doesn't move

[naive pawn]

and make sure you've saved and set everything

[errant rock]

no? idk? I legit just created a new monoscript, pasted that, saved and tried to run the game to see if the character moves

[naive pawn]

did you add the script to your player object

i think so

yes i think

ok so start debugging, try logging out move for example

[errant rock]

what does that mean?

[naive pawn]

Debug.Log(move)

[errant rock]

huh?

where do i run that?

[naive pawn]

in the Update function, after you've set move

[errant rock]

uh there are these errors when i run the game

[errant rock]

void update?

[naive pawn]

yes that's called a function

[naive pawn]

that wouldve been helpful to know...
what's line 21?

[lucid quiver]

show the stack trace

[errant rock]

do blank spaces count as a line?

[lucid quiver]

yes every line counts as a line

[errant rock]

ok

[naive pawn]

go into your ide and look for the line that's labelled 21

[lucid quiver]

ur editor should already have lines numbered

[short hazel]

Line 21 is the line labeled "21" in your code editor

[errant rock]

line 21 is

groundedPlayer = controller.isGrounded;

can u just check if u added character controller component to your player?

[errant rock]

The most experience in coding I have is editing a few lines of lua for my fivem server lmfao

[errant rock]

I have

[naive pawn]

ok so controller is null. do you have a controller on the same object the script is on

oh wait

oh you shouldn't have one since Start is adding one

[errant rock]

enterprise, pro or community? which is best for me?

[short hazel]

Community, the other editions are paid

[naive pawn]

are you enterprise/pro? no? then community

[lucid quiver]

private void Start()
{
controller = gameObject.AddComponent<CharacterController>();
} Make this controller =GetComponent<CharacterController>();

add component in editor not in script

[errant rock]

where? how?

[lucid quiver]

in the inspecter click on add component then type in character controller

[errant rock]

I'm not good at this unity stuff 😭

[lucid quiver]

click on this add component

[errant rock]

I already have the CC

[lucid quiver]

okay then change the think in start

[lucid quiver]

this

[errant rock]

just 1 min pls while I install this IDE thing

ya u need to configure the ide after installing it so its gonna be more than 1 min, take your time

[errant rock]

oh god lmfao

[lucid quiver]

replace the start with this when ur done

[errant rock]

ok got the IDE

is this correct

[lucid quiver]

well u still need to configure the ide to add intellisense and autorcomplete and stuff.. but for now just try running ur project and see if it works

or if atleast the errors are gone

[errant rock]

okay 🙂

[errant rock]

it's nearly working... whats the best way to share a vid here?

[lucid quiver]

well u can record it and share video

no other way

if u have obs its quite easy

[errant rock]

ok

[rocky canyon]

mkv formats wont embed

use mp4

[lucid quiver]

just convert online

tons of convertor from mkv to mp4 online

[rocky canyon]

https://getsharex.com/ heres a good video recorder for little snippets and stuff

[errant rock]

as you can see the character does like a break dance when I don't press anything, and it moves like a compass, w = north.ect I need a movement system where, where ever the the camera is facing is forward and well to be able to move the camera. I need a gta style movement system ygm?

[rocky canyon]

can just mask off part of ur screen to record as well

we actually cant see

[errant rock]

1 sec i'm converting it

[lucid quiver]

u need to freeze rotation on x and z axis

[lucid quiver]

click on the player and in the rigidbody of the player under contraint rotation check the X and Z axis

[errant rock]

ok

awesome breakdance fixed, does anyone know where I can find a camera control script so it moves with my mouse, and how to make forward be where the camera is facing so movement is less compass like

[naive pawn]

you should not have both a rigidbody and a charactercontroller on the same object, they will compete to control transform

[naive pawn]

have you considered learning to make it yourself?

really? 2 days ago I was told I needed both because I kept falling thru the ground

[naive pawn]

the example given in the charactercontroller docs is just that: an example
it probably does not do what you want it to

[lucid quiver]

ya u need both but not on the same object

[errant rock]

yes I'm just tryna get a few example scripts so I have a foundation to work with

[lucid quiver]

make an input manager script and refference from there

[naive pawn]

you don't need both, no

[lucid quiver]

wdym ? how do u work without ridigbody?

[swift crag]

by..using the character controller

[naive pawn]

there's a ground check in the charactercontroller example code

[swift crag]

the character controller will already stop you from moving through colliders

[lucid quiver]

huh

it also gives gravity?

[swift crag]

no, you have to calculate that yourself

(unless you're using SimpleMove)

[lucid quiver]

isnt it easier to have a rigigdbody on the player and then character controller on its empty parent?

[swift crag]

that sounds very weird

the player would...fall down, away from the parent

so you'd have this player object rattling around like a loose screw in your PC case

[errant rock]

@lucid quiver do you think these scripts will do what I want? idk how to read code yet

https://discussions.unity.com/t/third-person-camera-movement-script/783511

hmm ya thats true now that i think about it

[lucid quiver]

u literally dont even need much scripting if ur using cinemachine

look up cinermachine doc

https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/com.unity.cinemachine.html

[errant rock]

but it's only compatible up to 3.1.2

[swift crag]

3.1.2 is the latest version of the package

that version is available in unity 2022.3 onwards

[lucid quiver]

putting a script on a regular camera for this stuff is gonna cause a decent stutter in the camera

[errant rock]

ah

[naive pawn]

no? not if you make it correctly

[rocky canyon]

u can add smoothing to it if u want

[lucid quiver]

well i tried that a some days ago and had problems so i posted it here and a mod said that its better to use cinemachine for it

[lucid quiver]

i tried a lot of stuff and still had stutter so i just gave up

and implemented cinemachine

[languid spire]

No, LookAt says 'None'

[errant rock]

nvm noticed my mistake

[errant rock]

yea idk what to set that too, the camera or my character

[languid spire]

I'm guessing you want your Camera to LookAt your Character

[lucid quiver]

post an ss

[loud vault]

Something about my game's resolution is off. In windowed mode the game looks good, but in full screen the edges are jagged
Another thing is that to take a pic of the jagged graphics I had to take a pic with my phone, because if I take a screenshot it looks like in the windowed version
Maybe it has something to do with the monitor resolution settings?

[errant rock]

ahhh

[wintry quarry]

What resolution is the game set to?
What resolution is the display set to?

[errant rock]

I just did that and now the character is zooming backwards infinitely

[languid spire]

Ok, why?

[naive pawn]

better, maybe, but that doesn't mean you can't do it without cinemachine
cinemachine works by controlling the camera anyways

[loud vault]

When the user enables fullscreen in the settings, I run this code

Screen.SetResolution(Screen.currentResolution.width, Screen.currentResolution.height, true);```
Also in the player settings I have enabled " Default is native resolution "

[wintry quarry]

You're setting it to fullscreen but then reducing the resolution to whatever it was before...

[lucid quiver]

yes but i tried a lot of things and couldnt stop the stutter if u have a better code for it would be helpful

[loud vault]

Shouldn't Screen.currentResolution.width be the whole screen resolution?

If the monitor is 2560 × 1440 shouldnt it return 2560?

[errant rock]

idk

[lucid quiver]

are u using cinemachine or just regular camera?

[errant rock]

regular

I fixed the zooming issue, somehow

not sure what I did tho lmfao

[steep rose]

it was most likely a problem with your setup and not your code, as your code looked fine to me

[errant rock]

unfortunatly the camera script isn't moving with my mouse

[lucid quiver]

i tried vsync so idk what else there is to try

[lucid quiver]

where is the script?

[errant rock]

below player move in the character's inspector

[lucid quiver]

no i mean the actualy script

need to see the code

true.. i just assume no one has different keyboard layouts than me.. 🤪

ty guys!

[steep rose]

I believe most people have qwerty

[slender nymph]

https://unity.huh.how/mouse-input-and-deltatime

[rocky canyon]

crushed it..

ur mouse inputs dont need scaling

[verbal dome]

Still there are different regional/cultural variations of qwerty, like I have

Special characters are in different places

[steep rose]

okay

[steady phoenix]

Yo

[rocky canyon]

for example

still qwerty.. but no tilde key

[errant rock]

tbh this is someone elses code that I just C&P'd

[steep rose]

well of course if you are using a custom keyboard

[rocky canyon]

we're not judging.. just letting u know

[errant rock]

yea i get that, just saying idk any of this yet. I'm gonna get on that !,learn thing soon

[lucid quiver]

which scaling?

[rocky canyon]

time.deltaTime ...

[lucid quiver]

yes thats unnecesary

[rocky canyon]

altho** in his case.. since he's +=

[lucid quiver]

i do that too still its not necessary

[rocky canyon]

but either way... just something to remember.. mouse delta's work all on their own

with any reasonable code

[verbal dome]

It's not just that it's unnecessary, it's problematic

It makes your mouse FPS dependent again

[lucid quiver]

i mean i dont see any problem with this whats going wrong?

[rocky canyon]

lol... good stuff

plus u then need to use tiny values..

i dont like

[errant rock]

well the camera just isn't moving when I move the mouse, which is obvs what I want it to do

[rocky canyon]

what type of camera movement u working on?
i missed that part

[lucid quiver]

u want 3rd person pov or fps?

[steady phoenix]

Can anyone suggest me a unity c# free course that is useful?
I watched a lot of them but they just write cods fast and the only thing that you can do is copying them, afterward you will learn nothing and cant even write a single line of code by your own.

[errant rock]

pov i think? like GTA's camera and movement style

public Transform lookAt; what is this?

[rocky canyon]

GTA's camera is OTS (over the shoulder) for the most part

if ur doing first person then a setup like this is usually the simplest

[errant rock]

I'm doing 3rd person

well trying too

[rocky canyon]

ahh okay.. Cinemachine 🫠

[lucid quiver]

see i told u cinemachine is the easiest for these cases

needs much less script as well

[rocky canyon]

mmhmm definitely for OTS or Third Person

i wouldnt even attempt a ThirdPerson camera script w/o cinemachine

mainly b/c of camera clipping/collisions

[steady phoenix]

Thanks

[lucid quiver]

i mean its doable definitely but too much work especially since ur just getting into unity

[steep rose]

It's not to hard to implement camera collisions in 3rd person

[rocky canyon]

this is what a cinemachine third person setup would look

each ring being an orbit

and it'll shift between them

[steep rose]

although cinemachine makes it a lot easier

[lucid quiver]

like 10x easier

any idea why update is not being called repeatedly? this script is attached to a prefab which is instantiated when the game starts

heres a video.. he even uses a car and mentions GTA

might be something helpful

[lucid quiver]

update is definitely called each frame

[bitter canyon]

the debugs are only being run once in my console

[wintry quarry]

Do you have "Collapse" enabled in the console?

[rocky canyon]

they're probably collapsed

[lucid quiver]

did u check if they were collapsed?

[verbal dome]

I think they might be collapsed

[lucid quiver]

ya

[rocky canyon]

at the far right it'll tell how many of that same error is logged

[bitter canyon]

oh crap you might be right hold on my pc just turned off

[rocky canyon]

usually 999+ in update

[bitter canyon]

this appears on start and doestn add any more

this is uncollapsed

[verbal dome]

Place a log inside the else block

[bitter canyon]

same thing

        {
            Debug.Log("elsetest");
            // If one or both skills are null, the connector shouldn't be visible
            gameObject.SetActive(false);
        }

[wintry quarry]

gameObject.SetActive(bothVisible);```

since bothVisible is false, you are deactivating the object

once you deactivate it, Update will stop running.

[bitter canyon]

oh

that is true

i just need it to not be visible

[wintry quarry]

disable the Renderer

            // Set the connector's visibility based on the visibility of both skills

positionToLookAt = lookAt.position + rotation * Direction;
transform.LookAt(positionToLookAt);```

[errant rock]

the character

[lucid quiver]

if lookAt is player's tranform then ofc camera doesnt follow mouse

[errant rock]

oh?

[lucid quiver]

if ur contsantly looking at character how will the camera aim anywhwere else?

[rocky canyon]

the position for the camera to aim at should be out in front of the character no?

[errant rock]

thats a good point, so I need it to follow the cursor and then have the character do the same

[rocky canyon]

u need to raycast into the world.. from teh camera -> thru the cursor

[lucid quiver]

yes u need to set the character's orientation acoording cursor

[rocky canyon]

and look at that

or ^ that

debug the values ur using too..

[errant rock]

ok umm how do i do that

[rocky canyon]

can help visualize it

[errant rock]

lol

[lucid quiver]

dude all this would be like a piece of cake with cinemachine u sure u dont wanna use it?

[errant rock]

well yall keep pointing me to it but not explaining what exactly it is, so atm no not really. I have the main cam set to the angle I want, and it's attached to the character's mesh

[lucid quiver]

all u woud need to do is set up a empty object to where u want the camera to be and tell the camera to follow that and clamp the rotation

[rocky canyon]

make sure all ur variables are assigned too.. like Player and lookAt

    public Transform lookAt;

    public Transform Player;```

[rocky canyon]

you would be getting errors if they're not assigned.. but lots of newer guys dont even check their console for errors

[bitter canyon]

could this have to do with the fact this uses an image to visualize it and not a sprite

[lucid quiver]

he is using them they are not unused references so pretty sure the porject wont even work if then werent assigned

[errant rock]

it's not assigned atm ik of that because i'm tryna assign it to something to make it move

tbf the camera already follows the player, so I just need to make the camera move with the mouse and have the character follow that point

[lucid quiver]

okay change the last line to

transform.LookAt(new Vector3(-currentY,currentX,0));

and remove the Time.deltaTime from mouse inputs

oh wait

ur using look at

wait

[errant rock]

ok i'll wait 🙂

[lucid quiver]

try this

[errant rock]

ok

[lucid quiver]

i dont use the lookAt method much while using regular cam so i am not that used to it

[errant rock]

aha I massively appriciate your kind help regardless

[lucid quiver]

does it work or no?

[errant rock]

well I've changed the line, what do I tell look at to well look at now?

[lucid quiver]

did u run the project?

just try running the project after u changed the line
