[wintry quarry]

spliut the script up

looking around and aiming should be on the character

[echo kite]

what about sway

[wintry quarry]

not on the weapon

what about it

[echo kite]

weapon sway

[wintry quarry]

waht about it

[echo kite]

idk how to add it

[wintry quarry]

none of this should be on the weapon

that's a separate problem

get your basic movement working first

and weapon sway shouldn't go on the weapon either

[echo kite]

i did

[wintry quarry]

no... if you did you wouldn't be here asking this question

[echo kite]

i have other script too but i wanna integrate it

[echo kite]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=om-SS-CBZ8g&ab_channel=Davy

look

this guy does same

[wintry quarry]

because he's making a quick and bad tutorial

[echo kite]

also i did as u said but now i cant look up and down and gun looks like picture, theres no sway

[wintry quarry]

anyway if you're following a tutorial

the answer is to just follow the tutorial exactly

and it will work

assuming the tutorial isn't shit

so, if it's not working, you did something differently from the tutorial, or the tutorial is broken.

those are the only possibilities

[echo kite]

    void DetermineRotation()
    {
        Vector2 mouseAxis = new Vector2(Input.GetAxisRaw("Mouse X"), Input.GetAxisRaw("Mouse Y"));
        mouseAxis *= mouseSensitivity;
        _currentRotation += mouseAxis;
        _currentRotation.y = Mathf.Clamp(_currentRotation.y, -90, 90);
        transform.root.localRotation = Quaternion.AngleAxis(_currentRotation.x, Vector3.up);
        transform.parent.localRotation = Quaternion.AngleAxis(-_currentRotation.y, Vector3.right);
    }

[wintry quarry]

there is more to a tutorial than just the code

this is also not even all of the code

[echo kite]

he doesnt do different

[wintry quarry]

Prove it

[final gazelle]

yeah I actually watched this and its only good if you only follow this specific weapon system

[echo kite]

it starts at 18:22

[wintry quarry]

it's absolutely just poorly designed - having the player look script on the weapon object is backwards. He's just doing that so there's only one script for the tutorial

[echo kite]

and he writes code

[wintry quarry]

there's more to this than writing code

there is the setup in the scene and hierarchy

[final gazelle]

I suggest you try something else where the sway or movement on the gun is accessed from a mouse script rather than the weapon script itself

[echo kite]

    {
        Vector3 forward = transform.TransformDirection(Vector3.forward);
        Vector3 right = transform.TransformDirection(Vector3.right);

        bool isRunning = Input.GetKey(KeyCode.LeftShift);
        float curSpeedX = canMove ? (isRunning ? runSpeed : walkSpeed) * Input.GetAxis("Vertical") : 0;
        float curSpeedY = canMove ? (isRunning ? runSpeed : walkSpeed) * Input.GetAxis("Horizontal") : 0;
        float movementDirectionY = moveDirection.y;
        moveDirection = (forward * curSpeedX) + (right * curSpeedY);

        if (Input.GetButton("Jump") && canMove && characterController.isGrounded)
        {
            moveDirection.y = jumpPower;
        }
        else
        {
            moveDirection.y = movementDirectionY;
        }

        if (!characterController.isGrounded)
        {
            moveDirection.y -= gravity * Time.deltaTime;
        }

        if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.R) && canMove)
        {
            characterController.height = crouchHeight;
            walkSpeed = crouchSpeed;
            runSpeed = crouchSpeed;

        }
        else
        {
            characterController.height = defaultHeight;
            walkSpeed = 6f;
            runSpeed = 12f;
        }

        characterController.Move(moveDirection * Time.deltaTime);

        if (canMove)
        {
            rotationX += -Input.GetAxis("Mouse Y") * lookSpeed;
            rotationX = Mathf.Clamp(rotationX, -lookXLimit, lookXLimit);
            playerCamera.transform.localRotation = Quaternion.Euler(rotationX, 0, 0);
            transform.rotation *= Quaternion.Euler(0, Input.GetAxis("Mouse X") * lookSpeed, 0);
        }
    }
}

i also have this

but i deactivated it to put that code

this cant look up or down

and it has no sway

[wintry quarry]

It can absolutely look up or down

that's what this does:
playerCamera.transform.localRotation = Quaternion.Euler(rotationX, 0, 0);

if it's not working it's because you set up the scene incorrectly

[echo kite]

how do i set up scene correctly

[wintry quarry]

by copying the tutorial exactly

[echo kite]

i did

[wintry quarry]

If it's not working, you did not

try again

or show what you have so we can point out where you went wrong

[final gazelle]

how about this, just start with a basic weapon system, a gun that can shoot no more no less

worry about its rotations and sway later

[echo kite]

this is basicest

[wintry quarry]

This is only showing the GunController thing

And why are there two objects called "Player"?

This isn't showing us the setup from the other tutorial you tried

[echo kite]

this one is empty and player controller is deactivated because i was trying to put player controlling in gun

[wintry quarry]

THat's one object... what about the other one?

[echo kite]

its a capsule

empty is supposed to be folder

[wintry quarry]

why

what doe sit do

why does it exist

[echo kite]

to see it in game

one holding ak47

[fringe plover]

It says that its called when object is clicked in collider space or GUIElement space.

But when i assigned script with OnMouseDown on UI object (with image) it didnt work, am i doing something wrong? I know IPointerDown exists but im just curious why does it say that it is possible to use it in GUIElement space?

[wintry quarry]

you should not have additional colliders on a CharacterController

it will mess things up

[whole cliff]

where are they?

[wintry quarry]

GUIELements are not UnityEngine.UI objects and components like Image. they are part of IMGUI

[whole cliff]

where are c# lesson guys?

[burnt vapor]

Check the pinned messages

[whole cliff]

where?

[fringe plover]

oh okay, thank you

[burnt vapor]

This tutorial is really bad, the guy doesn't know how half the features work

Coroutines run off the main thread

It's also generally solving problems in a very basic and bad way

[echo kite]

what else can i do

[burnt vapor]

Divide your problem into separate parts and look for help on them

Instead of generally "How do I make a weapon", ask for the best way to do parts of them

Firing delay, recoil, weapon swaying

The tutorial just half-asses it and barely explains it

[echo kite]

i already understand those

but i cant look to sides

with this script

[burnt vapor]

Doesn't seem related to the weapon

[echo kite]

this script is about that

[burnt vapor]

Looking around is something implemented on the weapon?

A weapon is a weapon, it's not your visual behaviour

Wtf

You should separate the two, it's a mess to put it on the weapon

What if you change weapon? Does it have its own instance of looking around?

[echo kite]

that creates bigger mess

i also have seperated script

[burnt vapor]

Putting it all together is the mess

[echo kite]

i will put same script

[burnt vapor]

And it doesn't work

[echo kite]

just model changed

[burnt vapor]

Your player has a behaviour to move around, which relates to movement and looking

Your weapon should worry about being a weapon

[echo kite]

    {
        Vector3 forward = transform.TransformDirection(Vector3.forward);
        Vector3 right = transform.TransformDirection(Vector3.right);

        bool isRunning = Input.GetKey(KeyCode.LeftShift);
        float curSpeedX = canMove ? (isRunning ? runSpeed : walkSpeed) * Input.GetAxis("Vertical") : 0;
        float curSpeedY = canMove ? (isRunning ? runSpeed : walkSpeed) * Input.GetAxis("Horizontal") : 0;
        float movementDirectionY = moveDirection.y;
        moveDirection = (forward * curSpeedX) + (right * curSpeedY);

        if (Input.GetButton("Jump") && canMove && characterController.isGrounded)
        {
            moveDirection.y = jumpPower;
        }
        else
        {
            moveDirection.y = movementDirectionY;
        }

        if (!characterController.isGrounded)
        {
            moveDirection.y -= gravity * Time.deltaTime;
        }

        if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.R) && canMove)
        {
            characterController.height = crouchHeight;
            walkSpeed = crouchSpeed;
            runSpeed = crouchSpeed;

        }
        else
        {
            characterController.height = defaultHeight;
            walkSpeed = 6f;
            runSpeed = 12f;
        }

        characterController.Move(moveDirection * Time.deltaTime);

        if (canMove)
        {
            rotationX += -Input.GetAxis("Mouse Y") * lookSpeed;
            rotationX = Mathf.Clamp(rotationX, -lookXLimit, lookXLimit);
            playerCamera.transform.localRotation = Quaternion.Euler(rotationX, 0, 0);
            transform.rotation *= Quaternion.Euler(0, Input.GetAxis("Mouse X") * lookSpeed, 0);
        }
    }
}

how do i make this look up and down and weapon sway

[burnt vapor]

playerCamera.transform.localRotation = Quaternion.Euler(rotationX, 0, 0);

This sounds like it handles looking sideways

[echo kite]

it does but it cant look up and down

[burnt vapor]

Also, your weapon sway can just be done without having this logic merged with the weapon. You just have to add a proper dependency. For example, but calling an event if the player's movement state changes. If it changes from stationary to walking, start swaying the weapon

Imagine merging all scripts together because they depend on eachother. What a mess. Would not even be possible anyway

[burnt vapor]

I get that, I practically gave away the issue

Look at that code

BTW why is it in a if (canMove) check? Can you not look around when standing still?

[echo kite]

do i write same one but with y axis

[echo kite]

i think i can

[burnt vapor]

Pretty much

[final gazelle]

learnt this the hard way, making scripts dependent on each other is a nightmare when your project is large

[frail hawk]

seems like you also have to use more singletons in your project @final gazelle

[final gazelle]

I mostly use it for manager scripts

events are cheats as well

[burnt vapor]

That's not going to work

[west garnet]

how could i make the player fly upwards when press w and downwards when pressing down
i honestly have no idea

[echo kite]

ye

it doesnt look up

it just moves screen

[burnt vapor]

I also hope you realize this yourself that this is not the correct way to do this

[burnt vapor]

Increment/Decrement the player's Y Transform.Position value

[west garnet]

ah okok!
thank you! thought abt that option but completly forgot abt that haha tyty

[echo kite]

whats a correct way

[cosmic quail]

if you want to make it so you can look around with the mouse, there are tutorials for it on youtube

[vast fern]

I am super confused about how i can make one gameObject get another objects rotation after a button click could someone help me

[wintry quarry]

object1.transform.rotation = object2.transform.rotation;

[vast fern]

Right that does work, but i forgot to add that i want to happen only on the y axis i believe

What i want to do is when i press down right click i want the player to look towards where the camera is looking

[wintry quarry]

Vector3 projectedForward = Vector3.ProjectOnPlane(cam.transform.forward, Vector3.up);
player.transform.rotation = Quaternion.LookRotation(projectedForward, Vector3.up);```

[vast fern]

but since my camera is slightly looking downward, when i do what u wrote it makes the player look down

let me try that

[frail hawk]

assuming it is a 2d envoirement

[vast fern]

it is a 3d project

but that worked hahah

[wintry quarry]

Rotating on the y axis would not be a thing for a 2D environment

[vast fern]

Would u mind explaining what projectonplane means?

[frail hawk]

well Praetor sensed it 😉

[wintry quarry]

SImple vector projection on a plane

Like here the vector a is being projected on the plane and the result is d

Maybe a better picture

[vast fern]

ohhhh

i get it yeah

[wintry quarry]

The dark blue is being projected on the plane and becomes the hollow blue

[vast fern]

Thank you so much! 🙏

that makes alot of sense

[fair badge]

does scriptableobject being recognized automaticly by unity during the game becuase i am deleting one and making second as player and it could not be recognized

[frail hawk]

doesn´t sound good when you say at runtime

[fair badge]

yes i am making it at runtime

[echo kite]

wait it can look up

but how do i make ak47 look up too

[fair badge]

make ak47 main camera child

[cosmic quail]

show code

[final gazelle]

hmm deleting scriptable objects are not really a good thing

[arctic shore]

hello i am new to unity and i would like to ask you how can i grab my game object in this case that figure and move up and down when my game is running

meaning i want this arrows when my game is running

[naive pawn]

go into the scene view

there's 2 tabs up there, scene and game view

[arctic shore]

    public float jumpHeight;
    public float gravity;
    public float pixelSize;
    public LayerMask solid;

      GetInput();
      Move();
  }``` ```  private bool CheckCollision(Vector2 raycastOrigin,Vector2 direction, float distance, LayerMask layer)

  }

      {
          Debug.DrawRay(raycastOrigin, direction * distance, Color.red);

          i++;

          distance -= Mathf.Min(pixelSize, distance);

          if (distance > pixelSize) distance -= pixelSize;
          else distance = pixelSize;

          if (i > 1000) return 0;
      }
      return distance;
  }

  private void CalculateBounds()
  {
      Bounds b = GetComponent<BoxCollider2D>().bounds;
      topLeft = new Vector2(b.min.x, b.max.y);
      botLeft = new Vector2(b.min.x, b.min.y); 
      topRight = new Vector2(b.max.x, b.max.y);
      botRight = new Vector2(b.max.x, b.min.y);
  }```
hello What could be wrong when i moving my player object but my distance to solid layer is still same and not updating as i come closer?

[wintry quarry]

Not clear what this code is trying to do but your logic in CheckCollisionDistance is a bit confusing

what's distance -= Mathf.Min(pixelSize, distance); about?

and what's the point of the while loop

[arctic shore]

Reduce distance by pixelSize or set it to pixelSize if it's smaller but i removed it

[wintry quarry]

but what's the whole point of the method

doesn't the raycast just directly give you a distance back?

I don't really get what the point of the loop is

[arctic shore]

how close the raycast origin can get to a solid atleast thats what i think

[wintry quarry]

Physics2D.Raycast returns this: https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.0/Documentation/ScriptReference/RaycastHit2D.html
You are ignoring it mostly

but it has a https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.0/Documentation/ScriptReference/RaycastHit2D-distance.html distance field

which tells you how far away the thing you hit was

I recommend using that

RaycastHit2D hit = Physics2D.Raycast(raycastOrigin, direction, distance, layer);
if (!hit) return distance; // we didn't hit anything

Debug.Log($"We hit {hit.collider.name}!");
return hit.distance; // this is the actual distance to the thing we hit```

Something like this

[arctic shore]

   {
       RaycastHit2D hit = Physics2D.Raycast(raycastOrigin, direction, distance, layer);
       if (!hit)
       {
           return distance;
       }
       return hit.distance;
   }

   {
       CalculateBounds();

       Debug.Log("Collision" + CheckCollision(botLeft, Vector2.down, 2, solid) + " " + CheckCollisionDistance(botLeft, Vector2.down, 2, solid));

       GetInput();
       Move();
   }

still same distance

i dont understand why it doesnt updates

this is setup of that block

anyone any idea?

[echo kite]

how do i add weapon sway?

[verbal dome]

With normal animation or procedural animation

An example of procedural would be to modify your weapon's transform in LateUpdate each frame

You can sample AnimationCurves and mix in some randomness like perlin noise if you want.
Some sort of "springs" are also often used. You didn't specify what kind of sway you mean though

[teal viper]

What's the actual question? And what is that console screenshot supposed to show us?

[arctic shore]

here is updated distace between player and solid object and that 2 second is players postion as you can see i moving but my distance is still same

[teal viper]

One thing that I'd say right away is that you're mixing 2d and 3d physics. That's not gonna work. Box collider is from 3d physics.

[teal viper]

Because it doesn't hit anything.

It returns distance 2, since that's the length of the cast that you do.

[arctic shore]

and my collision is still false even tho they collide

[verbal dome]

#💻┃code-beginner message

[teal viper]

Who they?

[teal viper]

And what collision is false?

[arctic shore]

that figure and that platform

[teal viper]

What "collision is still false"?

[arctic shore]

 {
     return Physics2D.Raycast(raycastOrigin,direction,distance, layer);
 }```

[teal viper]

This is a raycast. Not a collision.

And I already explained why it's returning false.

[arctic shore]

so what should i do so i dont fall tru that platform but and i could walk on her?

[teal viper]

I don't understand this question

[hexed terrace]

use colliders

[teal viper]

For starters, you cloud use the correct collider: box2d. Not the 3d box collider

[strong wren]

how can i make it so a gameobject is looking at another game object?

LookAt() is good but it look exactly at a gameobject, but what i need is for it to rotate only its y

[burnt vapor]

Use Quaternion.LookRotation instead

Then lerp towards it

[verbal dome]

That would still rotate on other axes too

[teal viper]

You could get the normalized direction from object A to B, then take transform forward of the object, assign the x, z of the normalized direction to that vector and assign it back to transform forward.

[burnt vapor]

I have no idea what axes apply here

So I assume it doesn't matter

[verbal dome]

what i need is for it to rotate only its y

[burnt vapor]

You can just use the Y component of it

[verbal dome]

That would work. There are many ways to do this

(As long as it's the euler Y not quaternion Y)

[burnt vapor]

Can even use Vector3.RotateTowards and limit how far you rotate I believe

Yes, docs have an example https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.0/Documentation/ScriptReference/Vector3.RotateTowards.html

[wintry quarry]

Isn't the Raycast just not hitting anything?

Looks like you had a 3d box collider you need a 2d collider

[arctic shore]

it works now but now that player can go thru that block down and i want when collide cant go down tru it

[verbal dome]

What did you change?

And show your character's components

[arctic shore]

my component and i changed box collider to 2d on that box

and i dont want this do happen

[hexed terrace]

you already had an answer, but if that wasnt enough google -> unity how to add weapon sway

[verbal dome]

What other components does the character have? Does it have a Rigidbody or a Character Controller?

[echo kite]

where

[verbal dome]

Right below your message... 1 minute after you asked

[arctic shore]

box collider 2d and sprite renderer

[echo kite]

what do animations have to do with weapon sway

[verbal dome]

Weapon sway is quite literally animation

[echo kite]

but u can use script

like in lua

[verbal dome]

Yes?

Did you even read my answer

Or stopped reading at "animation"?

[strong wren]

why is turret (thing on the left) facing up?

            Vector3 NewDirection = Vector3.RotateTowards(TurretBarrel.transform.forward, targetDirection, 1, 0f);
            NewDirection = new Vector3 (0, NewDirection.y, 0);
            TurretBarrel.transform.rotation = Quaternion.LookRotation(NewDirection);``` in my code i told it that the x value should always be 0, but its always -90

[quaint lotus]

is there a way to safely make a looped int, ranged from one to ten, that goes from 10 back to 0 when you add 1, and goes from 0 to 10 if you substract one?

I heard about a %= thing which I used for an elapsedtime float in my game but I don't really know the true definition of it, nor how to implement it here

also I don't want to use "if" statements like if int > 10, then int = 0 in the update method because that means the int could go to 11 for a single frame

[echo kite]

i dont rly understand what u said

[winged seal]

hey i need some help making a main menu where it teleports you to a plane

[verbal dome]

What is the orientation of the turret's barrel? Select it with gizmos in Local mode and show us

Your code assumes that its forward (z axis, blue arrow) points along the barrel, but seems like that's not the case

[leaden pasture]

Is the turret barrel parented to something? You're setting the global x rotation to 0 but it may need to be the local x rotation that you ened as 0

[verbal dome]

Wait why are you setting y to zero NewDirection = new Vector3 (0, NewDirection.y, 0);

I think you got that backwards

You want X and Z, but not Y

[cosmic quail]

add to it through a method where afterwards it checks it and immediately changes it

[verbal dome]

If you want it to rotate horizontally only, that is

[verbal dome]

Just look for a tutorial

[echo kite]

i went off course tho

he did it with 1 lines of code

and i have different one

[verbal dome]

This will look awful without any smoothing

[leaden pasture]

You could do something like

int CheckRange(int current, int changeBy) {

  // Alter value
  current += changeBy;

  // Loop int
  if (current < 0) {
    current = 10;
  }
  else if (current > 10) {
    current = 0;
  }

  return current;
}

[verbal dome]

You are confusing a direction vector with rotation. NewDirection is not angles. It is the direction used to create the rotation.

[leaden pasture]

You could also use like a Vector2 as another parameter for your min and max (0 and 10) so that you can also use it in other cases where you'd want this kind of functionality

[verbal dome]

If you want to rotate on the Y axis, your direction should be only on the X and Z axes

[bold swallow]

I have 2 menus that I want to make a transition changing from one to the other. I have created the animations, but every time they they play, the frame after they finish the position of each menu gets reset to their default one. To be more precise, I play the opening animation, the 2 menus change positions and as soon as the animation finishes their positions reset to the default ones.

I have done something like this in another place in my game, so I don't get what is different this time

[verbal dome]

You have a transition which gets triggered here

[leaden pasture]

It looks like your animationOpen state automatically transitions back to your default state, which presumably would be the main screen in its original position

[bold swallow]

That is an empty state

thats why I didn't think that would be a problem

[verbal dome]

If the state has Write Defaults checked, that might affect it

Not sure though.

[arctic shore]

why if i have box collider on both of objects figure and platform and also i have rigidbody on figure shouldnt that mean my figure shouldnt fall tru that platform?

[verbal dome]

Did it have a rigidbody this whole time?

[arctic shore]

no now added it and restart it

[verbal dome]

So the colliders are 2D, is the rigidbody also a rigidbody2D?

The next question would be how are you moving the character, show code

[verbal dome]

Trigger colliders will not collide with anything

They just detect when something overlaps them

[arctic shore]

so i should uncheck it?

but i feel like i might need it

[hexed terrace]

Why

Don't do things by "feeling", research and understand what things are

[arctic shore]

beacuse you see those steps and want to jump and climb back so that why i think i might need it

[verbal dome]

You mean like going through platforms?

[arctic shore]

see and now i want to jump up again on that grass

[naive pawn]

sounds like you want platform effectors

[verbal dome]

Unity has a component for this https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.0/Documentation/Manual/2d-physics/effectors/platform-effector-2d-reference.html

[quaint lotus]

yo guys does the index number on a list begin from 0 or from 1?

[naive pawn]

have you tried googling that at all

a quite small set of languages start with 1, most start with 0

[quaint lotus]

but then does the last item's index on a list = List.Count - 1, or just List.Count?

[naive pawn]

count-1

[quaint lotus]

aight thanks

[naive pawn]

the countth element would be the "past-the-last" element

[quaint lotus]

just wanted to make sure I don't mess this up

also I feel like this isn't a question serious enough to ask on #archived-code-general

[naive pawn]

Count = 5
-1    0    1    2    3    4    5
  [   a,   b,   c,   d,   e   ]
     5-5  5-4  5-3  5-2  5-1   5

[arctic shore]

so thats why i was thinking i need it beacuse i will make enemies that will shoot and my player so i thought i might need if bullet overlaps with my player or colliding will work well too?

[verbal dome]

You can still detect bullet hits with OnCollisionEnter2D, so no problem there

Or with raycasts if you want

[covert flower]

im having some trouble understanding how to fix the issue or whats wrong with this, the warning is shown below

[naive pawn]

7 >= 0 is true, you have an infinite loop.

you probably want y >= 0 there

also you shouldn't use those hardcoded 7 and 99 in case you plan to expand in the future

consider something like this

for y from 0 to potionBoard height:
  if potionBoard @ x, y is null:
    return y
return -1

[covert flower]

ty appreciate this

[covert flower]

im gonna work on this, currently following a tutorial so wanna go look afterwards and readjust stuff

[queen adder]

I asked in another server and got redirected here

[verbal dome]

Rotate does not set the rotation, it adds to itcs axePrefab.transform.Rotate(0f, 90f, -45f); // Reset rotation

[queen adder]

so how would I set it then?

sorry I got no idea what I would do

[verbal dome]

Probably similiar to how you are setting localPosition, but use localEulerAngles instead

Make sure to do it after SetParent, assuming you want to set the rotation in local space relative to its parent

[queen adder]

ok thanks

[quaint lotus]

you should try setting it via transform.EulerAngles

since I'm guessing you don't want to deal with quaternions

[queen adder]

ay thanks it works

I need to refine the angles but the setting the angle ect works

thanks

[ivory bobcat]

Or cs ...transform.localRotation = Quaternion.Euler(...);

[echo copper]

Guys, I have a question

Well, if your player's z rotation equals 0, you can rotate him backwards by just changing y rotation, right?\

well, how to rotate him backwards if your z rotation is not a zero?

did you understand me?

[frail hawk]

not really

[brittle maple]

Does anyone know how I can make some objects ignore collision with each other?

[leaden pasture]

You can use collision layers

[echo copper]

player has 0 z rotation

[languid spire]

google https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.0/Documentation/ScriptReference/Physics.IgnoreCollision.html

[frail hawk]

sure, you can do that in the layer collision matrix or https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.0/Documentation/ScriptReference/Physics.IgnoreLayerCollision.html

[echo copper]

and i can turn him backwards by changing y rotation

[brittle maple]

That wasnt appearing, thanks

[echo copper]

but now, the player has 45 z rotation

and if i will try to change his y rotation, this happens

how to rotate him this way

[leaden pasture]

If you want it to look down in the direction it's facing, you'd also need to invert the z rotation so it would end up at -45 instead of 45

[verbal dome]

A decent way to do it would be to first set your Y rotation and then set your transform.up to the ground normal direction

[echo copper]

without normals?

[verbal dome]

Why not use normals from the collision or ground check?

Are all your slopes 45 degrees?

[echo copper]

no, i have even loop-da-loops in my game

i made rotators that checking rotation of player

[nocturne kayak]

Is there a quick way to check if a raycast is hitting an untagged UI element?

[whole cliff]

is there a channel for people to playtest someone elses game?

i wanna play some underrated games

[frail hawk]

that sounds really weird. what you trying to do there

[cosmic quail]

there are some playable ones in #1180170818983051344

[nocturne kayak]

i'm working on a XR application here, for context

So, i have a sellectable object (in this case, that chair there), which is currently selected, i've programme it so if you click the trigger while the controller ray is not aimed at a selectable object, it deselects any selected object

[whole cliff]

is phyton easier to learn then c#

because i basicaully understand evrything in unity but just not the coding

so maybe im gonnna switch to unreal engine

[nocturne kayak]

the thing is, due to the smoothbrained way i implemented it, whenever i interact with the UI it deselects the object, so i'm trying to get if the controller ray is hitting an UI object, then do NOT deselect object

[nocturne kayak]

it is

[naive pawn]

depends on your experiences and such

[nocturne kayak]

why

[naive pawn]

but the important thing is the logic, breaking mechanics into parts

you're gonna have the same job in unreal

[cosmic quail]

i didnt know unreal uses python

[whole cliff]

wanna learn game development but feel like unity coding is more confusing and harder

[naive pawn]

it does not

[whole cliff]

really?

[cosmic quail]

unreal engine has c++ which is way more difficult than unity's c# by the way

[whole cliff]

i tought it did

[naive pawn]

it uses c++, and it has better support for blocks (called blueprints)

[whole cliff]

okay nvm, unity it is

[nocturne kayak]

However

It has blueprints, which is a lot easier to get into than straight up coding

i spent learns doing Unreal stuff with blueprints and it helped a lot when moving over to a language like C#

[naive pawn]

BUT the main thing you'll have to practice, the main thing in programming, is the logic of what you're making
you gotta break problems into parts

you can't escape that

[nocturne kayak]

Yeah

[whole cliff]

maybe really stupid but is starting off with luna (roblox studio) easy

just to get a feeling of codinjg

[nocturne kayak]

Blueprint helps a lot with learning the logic without having to worry about syntax and recompiling

[naive pawn]

the syntax of a c-family, OOP language might look scary, but there's really not that much to it. it'll be a few hours to a few days of learning
the main thing will be about learning the semantics of the unity (or unreal) interfaces and the logic to link it all together as mentioned before

[cosmic quail]

i mean you can start off with python like you mentioned earlier. it doesnt need to be a game engine

[naive pawn]

so you know some programming already?

oh misread that

[naive pawn]

i mean, just start at whatever tool you want to use at the end. the language is not gonna be the main chokepoint

[whole cliff]

no but i watch a lot of videos of programming and a lot of it makes sense but whenever i try it myself i just blank out even with a tutorial

[whole cliff]

unity is my main goal to use

[naive pawn]

start small and build up to making your own stuff

[naive pawn]

then start off with c#

i know it looks scary, and it probably will be for a bit, but there's not that much to it
and unity, at least at the basic-intermediate level, doesn't really use advanced c# features

[whole cliff]

but every tutorial i follow after 20 minutes the code just doesnt work for me even if i follow it step by step

[frail hawk]

@nocturne kayak #🥽┃virtual-reality

[naive pawn]

you might want to consider asking about those

[whole cliff]

@naive pawn for example, how did you learn coding?

[ivory bobcat]

User error

[maiden relic]

go onto unity learn and junior programmer, I learned the basics in a week.

[naive pawn]

started small and worked my way up

[nocturne kayak]

Unfortunately the virtual reality channel is as dead as the vision pro, so i'm trying to break my problem into smaller coding problems to actually get some help , such as:

is there a way to compare layers the same way you compare tags? like a hit.collider.CompareTag, but for layers?

[naive pawn]

uh if you're using raycasts just use a layermask

[whole cliff]

ill do it rn

[naive pawn]

there's no method for comparing layers, but there is a layer property you can use

[frail hawk]

layermask shoudl fix your problem yes, it will only detect the objects you want and ignore anything else

[naive pawn]

i would not advise it though as that is an int and you could easily mess that up

[whole cliff]

whenever i feel like im to stupid for this ill probally come back here

[naive pawn]

we can't fix stupid, but that's usually not the problem! it's usually inexperience, and that can be fixed with time and effort

[whole cliff]

yeah it just feels like a whole job

[naive pawn]

well, it is

[whole cliff]

i just hope later in my life it will help me with finding a job'

it will probaly look pretty cool on my portfolio

[naive pawn]

gamedev is programming, writing, drawing/modelling, animating, composing, sound engineering, level designing, ui designing etc.. all in one

[whole cliff]

yeah but then i already have some good basics of coding because of game development

[ivory bobcat]

The member is directly accessible. Compare tag method is recommended for tags because string comparison can be slow.

[whole cliff]

bc thats the only fun thing i like that uses coding features

[nocturne kayak]

in GameDev or programming?

[whole cliff]

maybe both

im still young idrk what i wanna do later

[naive pawn]

aw cmon, you're telling me opening a bunch of terminals and running while true; do printf $'\033[32m%04X\033[m' $RANDOM; sleep 0.001; done on someone else's computer isn't fun?

[whole cliff]

is that an actual code

[naive pawn]

not c#, but yes

[whole cliff]

that just seems like real depression

[nocturne kayak]

programming? nah

[whole cliff]

dont even know what a terminal is yet

[nocturne kayak]

i prefer Pro gamming.

[nocturne kayak]

it's where your dreams go to die.

[whole cliff]

i dont have a lot of hope in myself

and yall are making it a whole lot worse

[whole cliff]

but atleast when i get a error thats not on reddit yaal are here for me🫡

[ivory bobcat]

Wrong server for this kind of discussion - off topic

[naive pawn]

result of this script

[whole cliff]

holy f*ck

[naive pawn]

programming lets you get up to some shenanigans lol

though to be pedantic; this is more of scripting than programming, kind of a different style

[whole cliff]

tf is the difference

i was thinking it was the same thing

[naive pawn]

it's a pedantic difference in what the end goal is, it doesn't matter too much tbh
and it's a really fuzzy boundary so i don't think i can properly explain it 😅

[whole cliff]

i hope i get some more girls with coding (i will lose all my hope in life and never want to live but atleast i made a cool game with a rolling ball that never ends)

[naive pawn]

oof, it's kinda a meme that programmers/cs majors don't get any lmao

not that that's true but

[whole cliff]

yeah it was a joke tbf]\

wait wait wait

are u a boy or girl

[naive pawn]

not saying, sorry.

[whole cliff]

oh sorry

[whole cliff]

ohh smartypants

Jules learn programming you will not regret it,forget blueprints

[whole cliff]

SIR YES SIR!

[naive pawn]

[cosmic quail]

wait why did you change your name 🤔

[whole cliff]

hey! chris changed his name

now will never know what gender he is

(his username is still that_guy btw) 🤫 '

okay lets get watching hours of coding🫡

[cosmic quail]

why cant it find anything i try to put in bin 1? (check the add sample data function)

[burnt vapor]

I have no idea what you're asking

[steep rose]

Average Linux users screen

[burnt vapor]

And even if I did, I don't think I'm feeling like dissecting 400 lines to figure it out unless you explain the specific part to look at

[hybrid tapir]

first, look at the class i have on top named ClothingData and look at the variables i have in it. collapse all of the overrides and the functions in my monobehavior class so you can search through easier.
private Dictionary<int, List<ClothingData>> bins = new Dictionary<int, List<ClothingData>>();
thats my declaration of my dictionary.
expand the AddClothingToBin and SearchBins functions.
then look at my AddSampledata and then look at SampledataUnitTest.
i know im doing something wrong but i definitely need someone else to check my logic

[burnt vapor]

Something wrong because there's an issue? I'm still confused? Do you just want a review?

What is bin 1?

[hybrid tapir]

for some reason in my unit test, the logs said that the blue shirt and the yellow shirt cannot be found.
bin 1 is key 1 in the dictionary

cuz the dictionary has int as the keys

i feel like im not iterating through the dictionary properly since nothing i ever put in bin 1/key 1 in the dictionary seems to ever exist

i gotta go to work ill be back tmrw 😦

[placid shard]

does anyone have good knowledge of post-processing? I added post-process layer to my overlay camera to make the flashlight react with the environment but it made the flashlight a bit transparent (hard to show) and I have spend way too long trying to find a solution to not have it be that but nothing have worked. IM crashing out

better example

[verbal dome]

Show the material that the flashlight uses

Wait this isn't a code problem

[placid shard]

i dont think so i just know that post process layer makes it transparent for no reason

where do i post this then?

[whole cliff]

whats, then do\

thats the slogan they use

[nocturne kayak]

Hey, i have a singleton calling all these events

`public static event Action<PointableCanvasEventArgs> WhenSelected;

public static event Action<PointableCanvasEventArgs> WhenUnselected;

public static event Action<PointableCanvasEventArgs> WhenSelectableHovered;

public static event Action<PointableCanvasEventArgs> WhenSelectableUnhovered;`

how would i subscribe to them in another script?

because this:
private void OnEnable() { Action.WhenSelectableHovered += TestMethod; }

doesn't seem to work

[verbal dome]

What about it doesn't work? Is the class containing those events called Action?

Since you are trying to access WhenSelectableHovered as a member of Action

[nocturne kayak]

that makes sense, the class i'm to get the event from is called pointableCanvasModule, but when trying to access it through that, i get this:

[verbal dome]

It is static, so you'd have to access it via the class/type name: PointableCanvasModule.WhenSelectableHovered instead of the instance

I'd suggest learning about how static works before continuing tbh

[nocturne kayak]

Oh man, i wanted that gift link

problem is that I want it to unequip the weapon if it is the same weapon in the same handler but it removes then equips back

this photo is when I equip the same weapon on the same handler.

[north kiln]

Generally that sort of thing happens when you're doing everything in subsequent ifs instead of if else/else if s

This kind of thing, where you immediately do the next thing, instead of isolating subsequent logic

void Do(bool shouldDoThing = true)
{
    if (shouldDoThing)
    {
        Debug.Log("Doing thing!");
        shouldDoThing = false;
    }

    if (!shouldDoThing)
    {
        Debug.Log("Not doing thing");
    }
}```

[signal raptor]

Any good sources on general unity architecture concepts/best practices?
Like, hierarchy player script concepts vs having a monoscript

Where should I manage my players respawn ideally in a multiplayer game? In a global game manager, or in each individual player scripts?

Not sure if these kinds of questions make sense

I'm working on my first game, and although I fully understand that I am on an early beginner's path, I'd like to try and learn and work with best practices as much as possible

I am an experienced programmer, but rather new to Unity, hence my questions I guess

[forest harness]

honestly i would say there is not a single 'best' way to do these things, it's really up to your preference in how you like to organize things and there are pros and cons to each approach

personally i like having managers to handle things like player respawn as I find it easier to implement the types of logic you often need

for example if respawn was handled in the player controller, it might be difficult to implement something like respawning players sequentially, or waiting for a whole team to die before respawning them, etc

[rocky canyon]

SOLID

https://unity.com/resources/design-patterns-solid-ebook

[rocky canyon]

Async - Additive scene loading..

• master scene that stays persistent and holds all ur managers/singletons UI/ Data or w/e

load scenes in and out along-side that master scene

thats just my little two-cents.. best o luck @signal raptor ☝️

[forest harness]

regarding player controller i like to have the player always 'drive' another character controller, such that you could have another script like an AI drive instead

even if you don't intend to have NPCs i think its a nice way to organize things

[rocky canyon]

i replied to the wrong person festive

srry

lol.. Unity dropping the "Kiss" principal cracks me up a bit

[rocky canyon]

good point.. this would be the "S" in solid

[eternal needle]

Ideally you shouldnt even be doing multiplayer as your first game. No matter how much experience you have in other fields

[rocky canyon]

also.. sorta in the same realm.. i think what ur saying is.. 'the enemy should be able to do everything the player can do"

oh snap.. this is MP?? oh yea if this is ur first endeavor.. id maybe re-think that..

[signal raptor]

Much obliged! Going to give this a thorough read

[rocky canyon]

if not.. then ur actually on a better track then alot of other newbies...

thinking about Multiplayer as u build ur project is the only way

some ppl coming in here like: "I built my game.. now i want to add MP"

face-palm hard lol

[rocky canyon]

im reading it as we speak.. i didn't know Unity had their own E-book about solid

ive always found third-party documentation

[signal raptor]

That’s kinda my idea. I understand a lot of things change heavily from SP to MP

[rocky canyon]

very much true 👍

i belive this is called "Composition"

[signal raptor]

I’m experienced and an architect on enterprise high level software development
Which I understand is almost a polar opposite world when set against Unity

[rocky canyon]

when u break up ur mechanics and stuff into simple scripts...

makes it very modular

[rocky canyon]

eh, theres some correlations to be seen

[signal raptor]

I though. Might as well give it a try on my pet dream project

[rocky canyon]

👍 don't feel like u have to work on that project every day..

save it.. keep backups.. but dont be afraid to make a few experimental projects along the way

[signal raptor]

I don’t ilude myself thinking it’s going to be a highly polished and amazing piece of work though, but it’s a good motivator

And I can always build a sequel one day in the future 🙂

[rocky canyon]

ya, u seem to be reasonable..

i'd say go for it

[signal raptor]

That’s a surprise. Though I’d get a different opinion on this

''ctr-c ctr-v''

wow look what ii wrote today

[winged seal]

@rocky canyon im a new user to unity dont mind me if i dont really understand what you are saying i know the basics i even made the vr work on my headset but its eh

[rocky canyon]

the structure is okay..
seems u have an understanding of the update loop vs the fixed update loop..
too many comments for my taste.. (try to use good naming and u wont need as many comments)
good code can kinda be read like a book

        float moveX = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal");
        float moveZ = Input.GetAxis("Vertical");```
i typically use `GetAxisRaw`

but nothing wrong w/ GetAxis if it works for you

one has built-in smoothing and the other doesnt..

i'd rather do smoothing myself if it needs

[rocky canyon]

no worries..

there seems to be missing references...
when u create a file in unity..
say a prefab for example... the prefab is saved in the project folder.. but also a .meta file
that meta file holds stuff like settings for that object..

say i built a script and it had a few references i could drag in.. (if i did that the meta would always update it so the values are correct)
this applies to lots of things..

and it seems to me by the error that its just looking for some things that may not be there..

i actually know very little about VR tho

let me try to find how to open the meta file

probably take me 10 mins :P

[rocky canyon]

make them buttons not bland.. and it'll be solid 👍

[rocky canyon]

right click -> open with Notepad

[winged seal]

i mean im trying to find the meta.file

[rocky canyon]

the meta's wont be visible in the project window

right click anything in ur project folder

and go to Open in Explorer

[winged seal]

also where is the reimport button or am i just blind

oh wait

[rocky canyon]

👀

[winged seal]

yuh got it

[rocky canyon]

nice 👍 just follow that article..

i cant say if it works.. but its the best thing i could find

https://discussions.unity.com/t/how-to-fix-missing-prefab-or-asset-references/912274

heres the thread i took it from..

[winged seal]

what is a guid?

[rocky canyon]

theres more info in that if u need

its the ID number

every object has a unique GUID

In Unity, a GUID (Globally Unique Identifier) is a unique identifier assigned to each asset in the project to ensure references remain intact even if the asset is renamed or moved.

[winged seal]

this is what i need to find

there it is

wait i clicked on scenes then clicked on open in explorer

thats right?

or do i need to find the left hand

[arctic shore]

hello i gave animator to player object and i i have separated legs and chest how can i animate legs and chest together beacuse it seems that only legs work?

[whole cliff]

my bus moves slower now!

very cool!

[rocky canyon]

it looks like the prefab was unpacked at one point.. and parts of it deleted maybe

[winged seal]

i just changed the code

that it needed

[rocky canyon]

did it fix it?

[winged seal]

yep it works!!!

[rocky canyon]

hell ya 💪

[winged seal]

yeeah!

[rocky canyon]

that wasn't a beginner flavored error either..

good job 🙂

[winged seal]

kewl hands

[rocky canyon]

now.. do not delete XR Origin

or anything inside it

[winged seal]

but also why is the right eye so glitchy

i think i made a screenshot

[rocky canyon]

idk.. i think that may be a #🥽┃virtual-reality type question now

[rocky canyon]

you'll have to select the Chest object

and animate it as well..

[winged seal]

i see that on the pc on the right side but i dont see anything in my right eye in the headset

[rocky canyon]

add keyframes and change out sprites as needed

[rocky canyon]

is this an asset? it may be worth asking the developer..

but i don't know squat about VR.. soo imma politely throw in the towel for ur issue 🍀

[winged seal]

lmao im tall

i zoomed in and i see this 😆

hey also something?

so if i have both the hands having that issue like currently the right hand do i have to go somewhere else or the exact same text file?

[lofty mirage]

Anyone has an idea why knockbacked isn't effective ? (player not being moved on collision)

[leaden pasture]

What happens if you drastically increase the force? Like if you change it to 1000 or 10000 or something instead, is it still not working?

[arctic shore]

hello how can i implement if i on platform and click arrow down my figure will move to platform that is other that previous platform if i use rigidbody for that figure

[swift crag]

Well, how do you move your player?

If you set the velocity based on player input every FixedUpdate, the velocity caused by the knockback goes away

[lofty mirage]

Yeah actually the issue was not about the velocity (I even debugged the fact that it was stored permanently even after the player regained control ??)

It was about the fact the player's position was overriden by MoveMC() called everyFixedUpdate

not the velocity though (if I don't set rb.velocity = Vector2.zero here, the player's velocity stores each knockback, making each successive knockback stronger in force; not sure why rb.velocity doesn't go back to 0 after player move input)

[arctic shore]

using UnityEngine;

public class PlayerController : MonoBehaviour
{
    public float moveSpeed = 5f;
    public float jumpForce = 10f;
    public float jumpCooldown = 0.2f;
    public LayerMask groundLayer;
    public float groundCheckRadius = 0.2f;


    private Rigidbody2D rb;
    private Animator anim;
    private bool isGrounded;
    private float jumpCooldownTimer = 0f;
    private Collider2D collider;
    private bool playerOnPlatform;

    void Start()
    {
        rb = GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>();
        rb.freezeRotation = true;
        anim = GetComponent<Animator>();
        collider = GetComponent<Collider2D>();
    }

    void Update()
    {

        HandleMovement();

        if(playerOnPlatform && Input.GetAxisRaw("Vertical") < 0)
        {
            collider.enabled = false;
            StartCoroutine(EnableCollider());
        }
    }

    private IEnumerator EnableCollider()
    {
        yield return new WaitForSeconds(0.5f);
        collider.enabled = true;
    }


    private void SetPlayerOnPlatform(Collision2D collision, bool value)
    {
        var player = collision.gameObject.GetComponent<PlayerController>();
        if (player != null)
        {
            playerOnPlatform = value;
        }
    }

        private void OnCollisionEnter2D(Collision2D collision)
    {
        if (collision.gameObject.tag == "Ground" || collision.gameObject.tag == "Platform")
        {
            isGrounded = true;
        }
        SetPlayerOnPlatform(collision,true);
    }

    private void OnCollisionExit2D(Collision2D collision)
    {

        SetPlayerOnPlatform(collision, false);
    }
}

guys i added platform effector 2d i can jump tru plafroms but i cant jump thru down platfrom when i press arrow down any idea why?

[rocky canyon]

• Is playerOnPlatform being set correctly when you land on the platform?

  • Have you confirmed this with a Debug.Log?

• Does the tag on your platforms match exactly what your collision logic checks for?

• Is Input.GetAxisRaw("Vertical") < 0 being triggered as expected?

  • Did you confirm this works with a debug log when pressing the down arrow?

• When you press down, is the collider actually being disabled?

  • You can log collider.enabled before and after disabling it to confirm.

• Platform Effector 2D settings:

  • Have you double-checked the Surface Arc? Is it set wide enough to allow the drop-through behavior?

• Does the coroutine that re-enables the collider run before you’ve fully dropped through?

  • Maybe the timing is off—try adjusting the delay to see if that helps.

Final thoughts: Simplify and isolate the issue. For example:

• If you temporarily remove unrelated code like the jumping logic, does the issue still occur?
  This can help narrow down the problem—if you remove something and it magically works, then you know that piece of code was likely the culprit.

TLDR: debug ur issue

[covert obsidian]

is it fine to do a music mute button like this
or should i do it in like with just this on click thing by going to the audiosource and pausing and unpausing like this and is there a better way to do it in the script so it pauses instead of mutes that doesn't require too much stuff
-# realized late this is easily googleable

oh wait just remembered yes the script is needed for resizing cuz it moves

but is there a way to pause it?\

[rocky canyon]

aSrc.Pause();
aSrc.Play();

[covert obsidian]

thanks 👍

[rocky canyon]

use w/e feels natural for ur game..
i personally hate when games mute the audio.. and then when it starts back its like 2 minutes into a song or something

i much prefer Pause..

[covert obsidian]

yeah imma do that

[rocky canyon]

there was a bit of "asking for opinions" in that question as well.. soo no worries bout the google thing

[spring skiff]

Damn, I hate those bugs that appear for no reason, even if you did not changed the code of it.

Last time, I was able to solve it just by upgrading the unity project from 6000.0.23 to 6000.0.24 and everything was fine without changing anything in my code, my Gameobjects or Inspector.

[teal viper]

Can't really help you without you sharing the details.

[spring skiff]

I don't even know the details, I could send you a picture of a toggle but there is nothing to see, the code is perfect and it even works for all the PC platforms, and it even did work on android, but now its happen again that android doesn't want to run the Script I have added in the inspector in the OnClick event of my toggle.

But the strange thing is it does work, why should a onclick inside of a toggle only work for PC especially if it also did work for android just 2 days ago and I did not changed anything related with this toggle.

[teal viper]

For starters, you could add logs or step through the code with the debugger, to see if the event is called/subscribed to at all.

[spring skiff]

It did not even want to play my audio source for this specific toggle that doesn't want to apply my value to the game.

I mean at least the mp3 sound of the button click should play and in debugging it does get executed, otherwise PC would also have this issue.

[spring skiff]

I did and it worked perfectly like it should, only in the android build, its dead. but on windows and linux, I get my outputs

and only this specific toggle, all my other UI buttons, sliders work perfectly on android.

[teal viper]

Do what I mentioned in the android build

There's no point in confirming it on platforms that you know it works on, is there?

[patent verge]

so what exactly are scenes?
for example I can have a scene called startPage for game options and stuff. Then another one called "Map1" for map #1, "Map2" for map #2 etc
or is not how they work?

[frosty hound]

You can have scenes of anything. They're just a collection of objects that you load and unload.

[patent verge]

so yes I could do that?

[swift elbow]

think of scenes like levels in games youve played before

ideally youd have a seperate scene for the tutorial, team deathmatch, ffa, main menu, etc

[patent verge]

okay so basically if I were to make diffenent maps for my game, I would make a different scene for the Main Menu, Map1, etc

as Dlich said because it loads and unloads objects

[swift elbow]

yeah thats how most games do it, but there are other options ofc

[patent verge]

would that be better?

like more optimization

[mild reef]

I decided to do something like this to change an audio when a player enters a zone. now I couldve done like 20 other methods but I decided to do this. does anyone have any suggestions to change the line in red so it changes overtime? kinda like in the green circled one. the reason why I cant copy the green circled is because the pitch could be either positive or negative. I would like a simple one line fix, if you dont have one dont suggest I cant remember if I did something like this with a simple math equation and thats why im asking. I think it should just be one line of math to fix it.

[swift elbow]

yeah it would improve resource usage as well

[patent verge]

okay then from using scripts I can load other scenes for example:
when [PLAY] button is pressed it goes to Scene2 from MainMenuScreen
then when player dies gos back to MainMenuScene

[mild reef]

💀 yall laughing

[swift elbow]

yeah exactly

[patent verge]

okay thank you guys sm!

it helps sm

[frosty hound]

To be clear, scenes are not only for "levels"

You can have scenes for anything in your game. A scene specifically for UI that is loaded asynchronously so you don't have to have the same UI prefab in every level for example.

[bitter apex]

i intend on solely using scenes, but are there practical alternatives to scenes

[patent verge]

yes so like only have my MainMenu UI in my MainMenu scene so it doesnt bother any other scene

[frosty hound]

No, that's not what I mean

[swift elbow]

wdym practical alternatives. what are you trying to achieve

[frosty hound]

I mean having a scene for your gameplay UI only, that is loaded asynchrously atop your level scene. You can have multiple scenes loaded at once.

[bitter apex]

i'm not trying to achieve anything, as i said i only intend on using scenes, it was more just a curiosity thing since you mentioned there were other ways to do it

[patent verge]

oooooo i see what you mean now that is useful thank you!

[swift elbow]

the only other reason you would use one giant scene is for open world games afaik

think of something like another crabs treasure if youve played that before. it has everything in one giant scene and uses LODs for everything

[patent verge]

should I use URP or HDRP?

[swift elbow]

this allows players to glitch into areas that they shouldnt get to before certain checkpoints

(since everything is always loaded in)

[bitter apex]

ahhh yeah that makes logical sense, that's quite cool

[swift elbow]

well another crabs treasure isnt an open world game but it works as an example

[steep rose]

you would have to choose that yourself, look up what each of them offers and choose via that
https://unity.com/srp/universal-render-pipeline
https://unity.com/srp/high-definition-render-pipeline

[patent verge]

does this matter?

everytime I change it my stuff changes

[teal viper]

Matter in what way?

[teal viper]

It's changing the rendering resolution, so of course it's gonna change stuff

[patent verge]

like for differnt displays will it pop up differently?

[teal viper]

Yes. This allows you to see how the game would look at different resolutions and aspect ratios

[patent verge]

so I would have to make everything compatible with them?

or could I have my game just be 1 of them

[teal viper]

You can make game with only 1 aspect ratio in mind. In this case, you'll need to decide what would happen on monitors with different aspect ratio(stretch or show black bars).
Or you could make your game flexible such that it works okayish on most aspect ratios. It's up to you.

[patent verge]

hmm okay thank you!

[maiden relic]

just started the John Lemon course and it is saying to add this line of code to set a variable m_Movement.Set(horizontal, 0f, vertical); is this different than m_Movement = new Vector3(horizontal, 0f, vertical);

[polar acorn]

What is m_Movement in this case?

Is it a variable, or a property?

[maiden relic]

vector 3 variable Im pretty sure

Vector3 m_Movement;

[rocky canyon]

i hear its miniscule performance gains. important for an optimized codebase but irrelevant for smaller projects.

[maiden relic]

Thats what I figured

[forest harness]

they are more or less functionally the same as far as the m_Movement Vector3 is concerned, but one thing to consider is where the Vector3 is coming from, like digiholic mentioned

For example, transform.position.Set(0, 0, 0) won't work as expected because you're modifying the returned Vector3 which does nothing (because transform.position is a Property and not a field)

whereas transform.position = new Vector3(0, 0, 0) modifies the Vector3 stored on transform as expected

If m_Movement is a plain Vector3 field (not a property getter) then they will work the same, but if it's a property it might be returning a copy of a vector

[rocky canyon]

public Vector3 m_Movement 
{ 
    get; 
    private set; 
}

m_Movement.Set(horizontal, 0f, vertical);``` //dont think set works here

[maiden relic]

thank you guys

[rocky canyon]

i had to look it up

lol i didnt know the difference until digi asked

[maiden relic]

I am trying to learn unity but theres so many different things and ways I can make stuff work. I feel like my brain is full.

[rocky canyon]

just start making stuff.. the more u do the more u learn bout whats important to u and ur game.

dont worry about optimizations until u need to

^ thats some advice i was given when i was green

[maiden relic]

yea, I have been copying the code that I follow on courses into ai and telling it to make comments and explain what each thing is doing in depth to try to get a better understanding.

[nocturne kayak]

Don't do that, AI will sometimes bullshit their way through an answer in a way that might sound reasonable and you might internalize, but can be factually incorrect

Understand the basics of programming logic, and build up from there

start with a small project

don't get it? try a smaller project

don't get it? try a smaller project...

The official Unity tutorials gave me a bit of a hand when i started, i was transferring over from Unreal

[maiden relic]

okay, yea I tried starting with unreal, hell with that for trying to learn.

[nocturne kayak]

Personally i found it easier to learn shit with unreal thanks to blueprint

[maiden relic]

oh, I was opposite, I found that there was a lot more courses for unity, I couldnt find many places to learn unreal other than youtube, but I also didnt look to much into it.

[nocturne kayak]

Honestly, no joke-

I learned Unreal through youtube

and kind of made a career out of it

[maiden relic]

thats awesome

[nocturne kayak]

I know just enough to stay at my job

But following tutorials on youtube isn't bad

i find it pleasant because you can get bite-sized projects that teach you things you are interested in learning

[maiden relic]

yea, why did u switch?

[nocturne kayak]

For me it was wall-running stuff at first, which taught me a surprising ammount about vectors

[nocturne kayak]

Unreal's kind of becoming more of a visualization\movie making software rather than a game engine

at least that's my impression of it

[maiden relic]

I thought the same thing when I was trying to learn.

[nocturne kayak]

RN i'm working on a XR project and unity is a lot more lightweight for that

This is getting #💻┃unity-talk levels of off topic, so if you wanna keep talking, let's move there, but bottom line is

it IS a lot of stuff, don't think about making your dream game, learn through small projects and don't increment projects by size, but by complexity

take one project and learn about vectors, the one about interfaces, the next about events, etc

[maiden relic]

alright, thank you

[lilac plinth]

hi, I'm learning through the Roll-a-ball game tutorial, and was struggling in scripting, and apply force to the Player. I'll drop my code here.

there's also a problem when i start unity that my windows 10 need to be at proper build version. Is that an issue?

[lilac plinth]

so I've just reopened to proj file and ignore to use safemode, and now the scene lost all of it's objects

[feral moon]

Help me please... I'm desperate...

when I win, I can't make the camera turn in any way... I'm providing clean code now.

The code check winning: https://hastebin.com/share/inirevaqex.csharp
Camera: https://hastebin.com/share/afusunonev.csharp

[obtuse quarry]

how do I destroy everything inside of the list and then clear the list?

[naive pawn]

you mistyped AddForce

[obtuse quarry]

foreach (Brain organism in list) Destroy(organism.gameObject);
list.Clear();
``` isnt working

[naive pawn]

that's how you do it. how isn't it working?

[obtuse quarry]

it doesnt actually destroy the objects

but it does clear

[charred spoke]

Iterate over the list with a for loop or foreach, call Destroy with each element then call Clear() on the list

[obtuse quarry]

wait i fixed it 💀

[naive pawn]

make sure you've saved, make sure you're looking at the right objects
try debugging what objects you're destroying, make sure they're what you expect

[obtuse quarry]

yea, sorry I was just being stupid and was clearing the list elsewhere before doing the foreach

[lilac plinth]

but the file already corrupted, should I redo a new one?

okay, I fixed it, anyone know the meaning of this error log?

[naive pawn]

how is it corrupted?

[naive pawn]

uhhhhhh is your unity on a floppy disk

[lilac plinth]

or it's not, it just went into safe mode and when i ignore it, i got put in a new scene file

[naive pawn]

why is it not in c:

[lilac plinth]

i just went back in old scene file

[lilac plinth]

c drive full

[naive pawn]

how did you get an A drive
i thought those were for floppy disks...

[lilac plinth]

but i got all the software recognized with unity though, except .net sdk

[lilac plinth]

it's a hard drive

hdd

[naive pawn]

yeah don't those usually go to D

[lilac plinth]

I already have a D

so it's C D Z A

Z is full D is for documents

so I partitioned 14TB as A drive

storage solution

[naive pawn]

jesus christ

[lilac plinth]

also, I lied a bit a bout C drive, it was full, I cloned it to a slightly* larger space now

but I don't feel like uninstall things and bring it to C

unless i reeally have to

so Chris, anything else I can provide?

[naive pawn]

i think it's a problem with how you've set it up but im not on windows and idk what it should be, sorry

i wouldn't say this is really a code issue

so maybe try #💻┃unity-talk

[lilac plinth]

okay I do believe it's because the .net sdk is not recognized by vsc

[naive pawn]

have you set vsc up according to !ide ?

[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

[lilac plinth]

because there's a giant pop up everytime i open it

[lilac plinth]

i didn't do it through the discord link

but yes

i downloarded

and installed

[naive pawn]

did you install the extensions in vsc and unity?

[lilac plinth]

C# in vsc, and i installed diffmerge in unity too

I'll take it to unity talk

[naive pawn]

there's more than that, see the link above

[lilac plinth]

what link sorry?

[naive pawn]

this

[lilac plinth]

so i install all of these?

[naive pawn]

no

[lilac plinth]

include jetbrains rider?

[naive pawn]

click the one labelled vscode and follow the instructions given

[lilac plinth]

wow that's very complicated

Chris, do I need to do the attaching the unity debugger to a uinity player step?

[teal viper]

That's for debugging. You only need to go through the setup steps.

[lilac plinth]

ah

I've already have

before joining the server

[teal viper]

Take a screenshot of the external tools and the package installed

[lilac plinth]

concurrently, I'll install visual studio, see if it works for me

[teal viper]

And the package?

[lilac plinth]

where is it?

[teal viper]

It's in the setup guide. If you don't know, then you didn't do that step...

[lilac plinth]

ive passed this part before, just not the the guide's order

[teal viper]

Ok. Did you reboot after all the steps?

[lilac plinth]

yes

[teal viper]

Try regenerating project files in the external tools.

[lilac plinth]

okqay

[lilac plinth]

heyyy it worked

no more complier error

thanks a lot dlich

[obtuse quarry]

if (list.Count != 0) {
    GameObject example = list[Random.Range(0, list.Count]);
}
```is saying "**index was out of range**" and I have no idea why

[lilac plinth]

@teal viper turns out it doesn't work, the components just get deleted when I turn on playmode

the components that connect the object to the script is gone that's why it's booted but nothing running

[teal viper]

I'm not sure what you're talking about and how it's related to configuring the ide.

[teal viper]

Do you understand what index out of range means?

[obtuse quarry]

I know what it means, but I think lists start from index 0

either way, the code only runs if the count is not 0 so I don't know why it would say index out of range

[feral moon]

Guys, who can help me, please? 🙂

[teal viper]

Debug the index that you're using and the length of the list.

[final gazelle]

the condition can check if the list is greater than 0 rather than checking if its not 0

but yeah debug it first

[teal viper]

Add logs to your camera turn logic and see if it executes/executes correctly when the issue happens.

[feral moon]

I have different problem - I don't understand how to return the camera rotations during game over

[obtuse quarry]

I'm debugging with Debug.Log($"{list.Count > 0} {list.Count}");

[obtuse quarry]

oh yea and I changed it to

if (list.Count > 0) {
    // ...
}

[teal viper]

Wdym by "return"?

[teal viper]

Debug the index

[obtuse quarry]

oh right 🤦‍♂️

[feral moon]

Didn't understand your question

[teal viper]

Return camera rotations to where?

[lilac plinth]

I'm just saying somehow the components of the Player object is removed

[teal viper]

Then there must be some code that's doing it. It's your project. You should know better than us.

[obtuse quarry]

so when i debugged the index it was 1 more than the length of the list, so i just minused 1 and now its always equal to -1

oh, ofcrouse

wait

might be another dumb moment 🤣

[teal viper]

You'll need to provide actual debugging data. We can't read your thoughts or see your screen.

As well as the updated code

[feral moon]

From the start of the scene, the camera moves along the x-axis in the rotation section. But as soon as I interact with an object and then stop interacting with it, the camera doesn't move along the x-asis in the rotation section

[obtuse quarry]

now im even more confused...

[final gazelle]

whats the code

send the updated code

[obtuse quarry]

int rng = Random.Range(1, list.Count) - 1;
Debug.Log($"IS NOT EMPTY: {list.Count > 0} LENGTH: {list.Count} INDEX: {rng}");
if (list.Count > 0) {
    GameObject example = list[rng];
}

[final gazelle]

int rng = Random.Range(1, list.Count) - 1;

[obtuse quarry]

originally it was int rng = Random.Range(0, list.Count) but then it was always returning a number more than the length

then it was int rng = Random.Range(0, list.Count) - 1 but that was always returning -1

so i changed it to how it is now

[naive pawn]

Random.Range(0, list.Count) should work

[languid spire]

this is correct

[naive pawn]

for ints the max is exclusive

[final gazelle]

does your list have items in it?

[obtuse quarry]

yea

[languid spire]

is it not null?

[naive pawn]

you aren't doing like, 0f or 0.0, right?

[obtuse quarry]

not in that line of code

ill change it back and see if it magically works again

[languid spire]

put your debug before the random.range

[obtuse quarry]

sometimes unity does that 🤣

[teal viper]

So I'll repeat again: debug your camera logic properly.

[languid spire]

so remove the rng bit

[obtuse quarry]

the rng bit is the index im debugging

[languid spire]

so put that after. I want to see the list contents before you use it

[obtuse quarry]

oh you want to see what's in the list

[languid spire]

I want the count basically

[teal viper]

Is that the actual code or are you omitting something?

[obtuse quarry]

its in here ^

i put it behind length

[obtuse quarry]

its essentially the same

i just put the check into a bool

oh

omfg

i just realised

🤦‍♂️

[teal viper]

You're using 2 different lists there...

[languid spire]

wait. yhatsd 2 different lists

[naive pawn]

you're using different lists lmao

[obtuse quarry]

omg

[teal viper]

That's why share the actual goddamn code

[obtuse quarry]

100% lol, i didnt see the difference

thank yous anyway 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[final gazelle]

I was like it should work with the changes

[obtuse quarry]

omfg im stupid 🤣

[final gazelle]

but yeah double check your variables next time

[languid spire]

one of the most difficult skills of a programmer. To read code and see what is there not what you think should be there

[whole cliff]

ArgumentException: Input Axis horizontal is not setup.
To change the input settings use: Edit -> Settings -> Input
UnityEngine.Input.GetAxis (System.String axisName) (at <725079647fb443ecb43bc12e4add9ae7>:0)
PlayerController.Update () (at Assets/Course Library/scripts/PlayerController.cs:19)

how do i fix?

[naive pawn]

you don't have a horizontal axis
