[swift crag]

and then it instantiates other prefabs from there

This avoids one of the nuisances you may have run into: needing to start the game from the correct scene

[still elm]

I see, are you using singletons a lot?

[swift crag]

A fair bit, yeah. I am looking to get rid of a few of them though

e.g. the PlayerManager is going to need to turn into...multiple Players for split-screen

Singletons are great for anything that there is always exactly one of at all times

[still elm]

Do you have many scenes and stuff

[swift crag]

Not a ton. One menu scene and a few levels

amusingly, the menu does not live in the main menu scene

(it lives forever in DontDestroyOnLoad)

[still elm]

I see

How did you do that

did you do DDOL and then destory?

[swift crag]

so I have this cute little class here

using UnityEngine;

namespace Pursuit.Singletons
{
    public abstract class SingletonPrefab<T> : MonoBehaviour where T : SingletonPrefab<T>
    {
        private static T _instance;

        public static bool Safe => _instance != null;

        public static T Instance
        {
            get
            {
                if (_instance == null) _instance = Instantiate(Resources.Load<T>("SingletonPrefab/" + typeof(T).Name));

                return _instance;
            }
        }
    }
}

[RuntimeInitializeOnLoadMethod(RuntimeInitializeLoadType.BeforeSceneLoad)]
private static void OnLoad()
{
    Instance.Initialize();
}
        

this is in my game controller class, which is a singleton prefab

it pulls itself up by its bootstraps!

one of the first things it does is grab the main menu

// make the menu load itself
_ = MainMenu.Instance;

bit of a silly line of code..

This is very convenient for me -- it does not matter which scene I start the game in

(I do have some editor-only code that lets the GameController recognize what kind of scene in it's in -- it normally doesn't expect to wake up in a gameplay scene)

[swift crag]

I very quickly got tired of having to start my game in the "title screen" scene

[grand snow]

I think you can do nameof(T) btw but cool class either way

[swift crag]

That would be a literal "T"

[grand snow]

is it really? seems a tad dumb if so

[swift crag]

It's a compile-time constant

[grand snow]

but generic classes for the types should get "created" then too and thus substitute T ?

or is that not the case in c#

[swift crag]

The identifier is still "T", even after parameterizing the type

A metaphor: nameof(x) is not 5, even if x is an int variable that has a value of 5

[burnt vapor]

You might be confusing this with typeof

[swift crag]

It does sound like it might work that way

Maybe if this was c++

[burnt vapor]

typeof is not a constant expression like nameof. nameof is a compile time constant like fen mentioned

typeof is runtime

[grand snow]

i honestly just presumed nameof() would work.
wish we had constexpr shiz

[swift crag]

Generic types aren't figured out at compile time

(pretend that AOT compilation does not exist here)

constexprs would be nice...

You can do some very, very basic stuff with const strings

private const string foo = "foo"
private const string bar = foo + "bar";

[grand snow]

the amazing const stuff in rust makes me want a bit more for c# and unity

[grand sleet]

Hello 👋 I'll be making a 2D crossword puzzle mobile game and I'm wondering if anyone has any tutorial recommendations or anything that would make an easier start (Youtube videos, Assets to use, Game objects that I'll be needing, etc.). Thank you! 🙇‍♂️

[still elm]

aww naw. I did edit -projectsettings - physics2d - disable collision. I did this because I did not want the player to be obstructed by the food I have placed down. On collison the player's health is being checked to see if it is full or not, if not full it will not destroy the object.

I tried physics.Ignorecollision but I couln't make that work. The issue is that Now when I disabled collisions in physics2d in project settings the OnCollisionEnter2d logic is not working anymore. How can I fix that?

[slender nymph]

and eventually when unity gets .net 6/c# 10 we'll have const string interpolation

[rich ice]

have you tried !learn ?

[eternal falcon]

:teacher: Unity Learn ↗

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

[swift crag]

I don't see a question here

[still elm]

#💻┃code-beginner message edited now 😄

[swift crag]

sounds like the food should have both a collider (to prevent it from falling through the floor) and a trigger (so the player can detect it)

these could be on different layers, too

[polar acorn]

If you disabled collisions, why would you expect OnCollisionEnter to work? Objects need to collide in order to tell the method they collided

[still elm]

Yeah, I thought I was smart doing it initially, until now

when I relized wat i did

[serene barn]

is itnormal that trails wont go in the void?

[still elm]

I see, but I want them to never collied physically

[burnt vapor]

What?

[still elm]

but the food does not fall throught the floor because I have no rigidbody on it

[polar acorn]

So, you want to detect when two objects overlap, without them actually being "solid" and stopping movement?

[serene barn]

when you shoot a trail it wont go past the border i dont know how to explain

[still elm]

Precisely

[burnt vapor]

Got a video?

[polar acorn]

Then one of them should be a trigger

[rich ice]

the void?

you mean like anything belove y 0?

[still elm]

and then?

[polar acorn]

That would be how you'd detect overlapping without a physical collision

Make one of them a trigger and use the OnTrigger methods instead of OnCollision

[still elm]

I see. I could have ddged this too I relized. But thanks, will try

[swift crag]

Pay attention to the parameter type that OnTriggerEnter expects

as well as whether this is 3D or 2D

we are talking about compile errors here, which will be listed in the console window

@toxic yacht what is ide

[grand snow]

code makey program

[toxic yacht]

True but as an absolute beginner there is something to be gained by learning without a language server

[polar acorn]

the thing you type code in

[naive pawn]

a lot of hours wasted, more like

[trim moon]

guys is this move script good

[grand snow]

(╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻

[naive pawn]

as a beginner they likely aren't going to figure everything out themselves
a language server gives immediate feedback

[languid spire]

not really, no

[naive pawn]

you can check isGrounded directly instead of comparing it to true
you can use CompareTag instead of comparing the string tag directly
AddForce with ForceMode.Force is already time-dependant, and it should be done in FixedUpdate. you might want to use ForceMode.Impulse there, and also remove deltaTime.
you might want to use GetKeyDown instead of GetKey.

isGrounded should probably not be public/serialized

[spice dawn]

"No problems have been detected in the workspace. "

[naive pawn]

if so then you haven't configured it completely
there's very obvious issues in the code you showed

[grand snow]

close the file and open the file again from unity (double click script in project browser) if you have now configured vs code correctly

[naive pawn]

oh yeah also that

[trim moon]

thanks mate

[spice dawn]

well, they are at least trying to demonstrate that the IDE is malfunctioning

[naive pawn]

in that case, use a screenshot, not a photo

[spice dawn]

Hmm, Apparently I do have problems because all compiled errors must be fixed before testing.

[rich ice]

you may also want to use a Raycast for the groundCheck. otherwise, if a wall is tagged as ground, grounded will be set to true (even if they're in the air and touching the wall)

[toxic yacht]

That's fair ill agree with that. A lot of my muscle memory and what I have memorized is from early on when I coded without a language server. I realized that a lot of the things I "learned" after I started using them I didnt actually know because I was reliant on the auto complete.

Nothing is underlined in red though?

[rich ice]

[naive pawn]

because either the language server is waiting on a download or something or you havent' configured it properly

[polar acorn]

That's why that was the second part of what I said to do

[swift crag]

If you didn't follow all of the instructions for VS Code linked above, do that now.

[grand snow]

@spice dawn if you close vs code fully and then in unity do Assets > Open c# project, does this make it work?

[spice dawn]

lemme try

[grand snow]

if you followed the configuration steps it should open the code project and make shit work

[spice dawn]

Now I see assets, library, logs, packages, project settings, temp, user settings

[naive pawn]

ah, you didnt open the project folder before...

[grand snow]

now go find your script! (Ctrl + T to type search, CTRL + P to file search)

[grand snow]

i wasnt sure if vs code was just opening the file on its own as i know vs will open the sln from a script file open

[naive pawn]

since vscode isn't an ide in itself it also supports opening singular files outside projects ("open folder")

[elfin canyon]

hi guys i putted 3d model into unity but it wont put itself into working window whats the problem?

[naive pawn]

doesn't sound like a code issue, see #🔀┃art-asset-workflow or #💻┃unity-talk perhaps

[spice dawn]

Have you tried Dragging it in

[elfin canyon]

yes but it doesnt let me

[spice dawn]

You imported it in correct?

[trim moon]

i didn't really understand what should i do with isGrounded bool to be honest, i changed in collision void from gameObject.tag to gameObject.CompareTag

[elfin canyon]

yes

[naive pawn]

@elfin canyon @spice dawn this isn't the right channel to discuss that issue

[elfin canyon]

mb

[naive pawn]

i mentioned it a few times, which change are you talking about

[spice dawn]

Found it, opened it, but it brought me back to just a script with no errors?

[grand snow]

you sure you did all the set up?

[naive pawn]

make sure to give it a bit to think

[spice dawn]

i physically cant find analasyis

typo sorry

sorry if i am bohring to you, but i started programming few weeks ago, this is the changes i made

[spice dawn]

Where is analysis i cant even find it

[grand snow]

If the "Visual studio editor" unity package is up to date in project, you set your editor to "Vs code" in preferences and install the Unity extension in vs code it should work.

[slender nymph]

this includes troubleshooting steps for vs code configuration: https://unity.huh.how/ide-configuration/visual-studio-code

[spice dawn]

ok done

Let me open vs code

[grand snow]

thats great but the website linked to in the ide info box we kept sending should have explained this too

[frigid sapphire]

Hi, me again. I have this script that gives you a 3x income boost, how could I make it so when I buy an upgrade the increase in multiplier get's 3x'd aswell? Idk how to explain it better basically when I upgrade multiplier gets increased by normal value not the 3x'd value and idk how to do it really
multmult = 3; xt.text = $"3x Active! {Mathf.Round(timero2)}s left"; if(!alreadymulted) { ms.acm *= multmult; ms.mult *= multmult; ms.p4m *= multmult; ms.p5m *= multmult; alreadymulted = true; alreadydivided = false; timero2 = 30f;

ms is MainScript, acm/mult/p4m/p5m are the multipliers from different upgrades, aldreadymulted is just checking if the values have already been multiplied, alreadydivided is set to true once timero2 gets to 0 and the values are divided.
I should be able to do this I just want to get some of your ideas on what would be the most optimized way to do it

[spice dawn]

ok am I just plain out stupid

(Probably)

But anyways what the hell I'm on the same page as I was 20 minutes ago

[polar acorn]

You should probably not ever actually modify the base values. Just store the value and the multiplier, and whenever you use those values, do the math on the spot

[frigid sapphire]

Im assuming I could just access multmult via MainScript, make it so upgrading doesnt just add 1 but it adds multmult then after dividing the values when 3x runs out set it back to 1?

[polar acorn]

Basically, instead of doing ms.acm *= multmult;, you'd keep ms.acm as it is, and wherever you use it, you'd use ms.acm * ms.mult

[grand snow]

If its working you now have help in the editor to write code and fix code easier

[spice dawn]

It says I have compiler errors but again, it doesn't show any on idc

[polar acorn]

Then you're missing some steps on the configuration

[polar acorn]

Okay what about all the other steps

[rich adder]

btw you should not configure IDE with compile errors

make sure you comment those out first if you have any

[grand snow]

press the regenerate button under that bit it may help

[rich adder]

looks configured on this part, you need to try closing VSC regen project files button on that page then open script again from unity double clicking, it either will work or spit out .net sdk error

[spice dawn]

Do I need any of the external script editors file boxes ticked off or no? I have the default ones

[rich adder]

only the top 2

[grand snow]

nah dont bother changing it. The regen button will re make the files needed for visual studio code or other IDEs to correctly open your project.
Usually code recompile does this but your code is brokey

[swift crag]

yeah, if you had to install the "Visual Studio Editor" package, none of its scripts will actually have compiled

[rich adder]

note if you still have compile errors, it will not work no matter wat

[swift crag]

since there is currently a compile error

you can just comment out everything in the script to let Unity compile

[spice dawn]

how do I do this

[grand snow]

delete the file

[polar acorn]

By commenting the lines out

[grand snow]

can it regen in safe mode?

[slender nymph]

note that this is only true if the visual studio editor package was not installed prior to configuration. that is the only thing that is prevented from actually working when there are compile errors in the project

[rich adder]

if it can't compile its not going to be able to attach well to vsc

yea true

its cause of packages, it had to connect and if you cant install it wont be able to

[signal pollen]

Hullo, I am trying to figure out how to check either

1. a boolean/value of a sibling in the heiarchy tree
   or
2. a boolean/value gameObject (Such as the player)
   is this possible?
   I am trying to prevent my truck from picking up 2 crates, limiting it to picking up only one at a time.

[rich adder]

btw you could store the actually gameobject into a variable
like the currentObject, if its null then you have free space and you can pick it up

[signal pollen]

What do you mean by that?

[rich adder]

dont you have a pickup script?

[signal pollen]

Like refer to itself as currentObject?

What is the line needed? I have been searching for it for a while

[rich adder]

show how you currently pickup the cubes

with script*

[signal pollen]

I admit it's a really messy code. I have just been hacking away without refactoring yet

[rich adder]

its totaly fine

https://scriptbin.xyz/davigakepo.cpp

[rich adder]

oh the cube itself has the pickup logic

[signal pollen]

Super messy, and should be redone, with bits and bobs all over the place

Should I redo it such that the Truck has the script logic?

[grand snow]

@signal pollen based on what i just saw, the collectable hides and marks it self as collected. You want your truck/player script to track what collectables its holding so you can hold only one.
e.g.

Player player = hit.GetComponent<Player>();
bool pickedUp = player.TryPickUp(this);
if(pickedUp) //do stuff

[rich adder]

I wouldve probably done it the opposite so its easier

but basically you can still access player from this

[signal pollen]

Yeah I am figuring that now

[signal pollen]

Player player```
is a thing?

[rich adder]

so you can store the cube itself and dont even need bools to track, and you can store cube to do other things with it

GameObject theCube

void OnTriggerEnter(Collider col){
if(col.CompareTag("Cube") && theCube == null)
//pickup cube
}```

[grand snow]

Substitute it with your own type or a new script. Its just an example

[signal pollen]

oh

[polar acorn]

Assuming you have a class named Player, yes

[signal pollen]

I see

Maybe redoing the scripts as whole is the way to go then\

I've done this very messily lol

[grand snow]

for example:

public class Player : MonoBehaviour
{
    private Collectable heldCollectable;

    public bool TryPickUp(Collectable collectable)
    {
        if(heldCollectable == null)
        {
            heldCollectable = collectable;
            return true;
        }
        else return false;
    }
}

[rich adder]

there is probably no reason for each cube to be using OnTrigger methods for each one, rather than player itself has pickup script

[signal pollen]

Yeah that is true

[grand snow]

That is true, the truck/player is the better place to do the picking up logic

[signal pollen]

I used this collectible script cos the Junior Programmer course by Unity did that

[rich adder]

something like this basically but maybe call it CollecatiblePickup or something more specific to its responsibility

[signal pollen]

When instead the correct/smarter thing to do is to attach the collectible script from the player persepective

[rich adder]

yeah its common

[signal pollen]

Okay! Time to refactor the whole thing. I have been avoiding it for too long

Thank you guys

(Although I could just do with sleep)

[grand snow]

no sleep only code

[rich adder]

wait for you to be fully refreshed

fun-free zone 😛

[grand snow]

no fun only code

[tender stag]

'SceneManager' does not contain a definition for 'LoadSceneAsync' and no accessible extension method 'LoadSceneAsync' accepting a first argument of type 'SceneManager' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

im using UnityEngine.SceneManagement

[wintry quarry]

Most likely you made your own class named SceneManager

Try UnityEngine.SceneManagement.SceneManager.LoadSceneAsync(...)

or rename your SceneManager class

(I bet this code is probably inside your class named SceneManager in fact!)

[tender stag]

its this

from fishnet

[wintry quarry]

Yeah the class is named SceneManager

[tender stag]

so am i gonna have to write out UnityEngine.SceneManagement every time?

[wintry quarry]

I mean for one I don't recommend modifying the code inside packages in the first place

[swift crag]

this would also happen if you had a using directive for the namespace that Fishnet's SceneManager is contained in

you can use an alias:

using Whatever = Some.Specific.Thing;

[wintry quarry]

You could also do:

using UnitySM = UnityEngine.SceneManagement.SceneManager;``` or one of the other suggestions I mentioned above.

[swift crag]

a common one is

using System;
using UnityEngine;
using Random = UnityEngine.Random;

[wintry quarry]

Look closely at the code

they have in fact ALREADY aliased it for you

So you can just use UnitySceneManager

[tender stag]

i dont understand

how?

[wintry quarry]

var scene = UnitySceneManager.LoadSceneAsync(...)

[tender stag]

The name 'UnitySceneManager' does not exist in the current context

[wintry quarry]

Well it would be nice if you shared what the current context is with the class

My impression was that you were writing code inside the Fishnet script

[tender stag]

its inside a network behaviour

[slender nymph]

note how that code does not have the same using alias

[wintry quarry]

Ok so then you need to add an alias as we mentioned

or write out the fully qualified name

pick one

There are three examples of creating an alias above

If you had added using UnityEngine.SceneManagement; , you'd have gotten an error when trying to name SceneManager -- it's unclear which type you're trying to refer to

UnityEngine.SceneManagement.SceneManager vs. FishNet.Object.SceneManager (presumably)

[tender stag]

im just gonna use this one

using UnitySceneManager = UnityEngine.SceneManagement.SceneManager;

[tender stag]

im not sure why the loading bar is behaving this way, it never reaches 100%

[rich adder]

that async is looking wonky

looks like it loads the lobby scene again before then going into game

[rich adder]

isn't progress already normalized, why /0.9f

[slender nymph]

it only progresses to 90% if allow scene activation is false. but it seems that the issue is that it does most of the loading in a single frame (or at least in less than 100ms) so it fills up to that point, then because it has finished loading by the time the delay has ended it continues without filling the rest of the bar, which leads directly to a 2.5 second wait

[wintry quarry]

It should be <= 0.9f instead of < 0.9f

you're never going to see a full bar because it will never update the fillAmount when it's == 0.9f which would be a full bar with this code.

[mystic lark]

how come when i spawn a clone game object and i put in update

Vector2 dir = Vector2.left;
body.linearVelocity = dir * moveSpeed;

but it wont move

[slender nymph]

have you confirmed that code is running? do you have any errors? are there any colliders blocking the object? you gotta provide more details

[mystic lark]

my code is working and correct but maybe its the pipe cuz i put 3 object thoghether?

[polar acorn]

Several possible reasons:

1. The code isn't on the object
2. moveSpeed is zero
3. The object is moving, but so is everything else so you can't tell
4. You're actually asleep and hallucinating the computer right now. Please wake up, we all miss you.
5. You are getting an error preventing this code from executing
6. Your object is gigantic and it's moving an imperceptibly small amount

[mystic lark]

lmao

[polar acorn]

Basically, more information is required

[mystic lark]

number 4 for sure

and also the box coliders shuldnt be the problem they arnet tuching

[polar acorn]

What is body?

Presumably, a rigidbody of some sort, but which object has it?

which object has this script on it?

[mystic lark]

the clone pipes

[polar acorn]

Can you show the inspector for this script on your prefab

[edgy tangle]

You'll obviously have to change some things around (e.g. I am invoking events that you don't have here and you're using async await vs a coroutine), but this is a snippet from my own async scene loading script which works well with progress bars. In my case I have the loading screen UI subscribe to these LoadSceneProgress and LoadSceneComplete events rather than coupling them together.

        var asyncOperation = SceneManager.LoadSceneAsync(sceneName, loadSceneMode);
        if (asyncOperation != null)
        {
            while (!asyncOperation.isDone)
            {
                var progress = Mathf.Clamp01(asyncOperation.progress / 0.9f);
                progress = Mathf.Max(progress, fakeProgress);
                LoadSceneProgress?.Invoke(progress);
                yield return null;
            }

            LoadSceneComplete?.Invoke();
        }

ah there's also this fakeProgress thing I have... You can ignore/delete that line unless you want me to explain it :3

[slender nymph]

show the entire PipeMovement script

[polar acorn]

Show !code for the script

i think im just an idiot

let me try something for 1 min

yea im an idiot i forgot the

body = GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>();

[slender nymph]

pay attention to the errors in your console instead of ignoring them

[mystic lark]

i was staring at my screen for like 10 mins until u asked me to show the full script

[tender stag]

is there any way u could put it in like hastebin

cause im on my phone now

and its like multiple lines and shit

or paste of code or any website

[edgy tangle]

var asyncOperation = SceneManager.LoadSceneAsync(sceneName, loadSceneMode);
if (asyncOperation != null)
{
while (!asyncOperation.isDone)
{
var progress = Mathf.Clamp01(asyncOperation.progress / 0.9f);
progress = Mathf.Max(progress, fakeProgress);
LoadSceneProgress?.Invoke(progress);
yield return null;
}

        LoadSceneComplete?.Invoke();
    }

how about just plain text reply

[tender stag]

that’ll do thanks

[tender stag]

i saw some people stopping the scene from loading

by setting something to false i dont remember what it was

and when it finished they set the bool to true

it was allowSceneActivation

why arent u using that there?

i asked him for it

cause im on mobile

tell that robot who's boss

[tender stag]

lmao

[edgy tangle]

I think sllowSceneActivation might be a new thing in Unity 6...? Or its just something I've never found I needed.

[tender stag]

alright

nah im not using unity 6

[edgy tangle]

ah okay

yeah I've just never bothered touching it

Looking at the documentation though it looks like you will need it to be true for the snippet I added

Otherwise you'll get stuck in that while loop

because isDone will never be true

unless at some point you change allowSceneActivation back to true in the while loop in order to break

I guess you could set allowSceneActivation back to true if progress >= 0.9f 🤷

But then I don't really see the point in touching it at all

Ahh okay in the example in the documentation they show a case where for example you'd want the player to press a button after loading finishes in order to activate the scene. That's what it's for. If you just want it to load when ready then don't bother touching it.

[ivory bobcat]

What do you mean by "it doesn't make it float"?

[forest summit]

i can add a video

[ivory bobcat]

You could probably just explain in a sentence or two

[verbal dome]

It would drop the object unless you click the mouse button every frame, at superhuman speed

Do you mind linking the tutorial?

[forest summit]

yeah

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6bFCQqabfzo

[ivory bobcat]

I'm assuming gravity is occurring

[forest summit]

yes, what i meant was how when you pick up something in a game like portal or half-life it hovers there in front of you, as if you were making it float

[ivory bobcat]

Should it fall immediately after you pick it up? If not, when should it fall?

[verbal dome]

^Yeah, this is in the wrong spot

[forest summit]

its supposed to fall after you click the mouse button while its already being picked up

[forest summit]

ah ok

i think i found the issue

[ivory bobcat]

You'd probably want that else inside that if statement: when checking for null

[forest summit]

ok i just did that

same thing is occuring however

[ivory bobcat]

Did you save?

[forest summit]

here we go

thank you

i just noticed something really odd

have you ever heard of the game superliminal?

the object im picking up is changing size based on my perspective

[verbal dome]

Maybe its parent has a non uniform scale?

Meaning x, y, and z are not the same

[forest summit]

i think your right

its still doing it, its alright though i think ill be able to find a fix

[rich adder]

could you show whats happening

[forest summit]

sure

[timber tide]

the scale on that cube is crazy large

[forest summit]

the giant wall or the one im picking up

[timber tide]

I'd unchild the cube and keep the scaling uniform

[verbal dome]

The selected cube isn't the one they are moving

[timber tide]

Actually didnt read the problem but I assume it's being added as a child when moving the cube, but the parent scaling it applying to the cube and it's making it odd-shaped

[forest summit]

the cube is being parented to an empty object that stores the hold position

[timber tide]

Maybe im hallucinating, but looks like the shape of it is changing but could just be perspective

[timber tide]

Oh you did mention it here. Yeah I'd keep an eye on the parent scaling if not the object itself

something's being changed, and ideally keep your scaling uniform

[forest summit]

do you mean keeping my scaling uniform as in not making giant objects

[humble quarry]

hey guys, can you tell me why my dash mechanic isnt working? for some reason it wont move in the x axis

[verbal dome]

I already explained what it means

[forest summit]

oh yeah sorry

[verbal dome]

(1, 1, 1) = uniform
(3.5, 3.5, 3.5) = uniform
(1, 2, 3) = not uniform

[timber tide]

also if you parent an object at runtime you need to set the optional bool to keep its world orientation if the parent has scaling other than 1, otherwise it'll act upon the child object

[forest summit]

ok the scaling issue is fixed

[timber tide]

or just not scale the parent at all

[timber tide]

If you print out the velocity afterwards what values are you getting

[forest summit]

its also not moving with my character which is odd

[ashen harness]

Basically the issue im having is I need the camera movement script to rotate the player body but only side to side so it doesn't rotate the body to be parallel with the ground lmao I'm on the verge of a breakthrough to do it but i just can't seem to grasp the process

and lemme go grab the code hol up

[humble quarry]

alright ill try that.

[ashen harness]

{
    public CharacterController controller;
    public float mouseSensitivity = 100f;

    float xRotation = 0f;
    float YRotation = 0f;

    void Start()
    {
        //Locking the cursor to the middle of the screen and making it invisible
        Cursor.lockState = CursorLockMode.Locked;
    }

    void Update()
    {
        float mouseX = Input.GetAxis("Mouse X") * mouseSensitivity * Time.deltaTime;
        float mouseY = Input.GetAxis("Mouse Y") * mouseSensitivity * Time.deltaTime;
        //control rotation around x axis (Look up and down)
        xRotation -= mouseY;

        //we clamp the rotation so we cant Over-rotate (like in real life)
        xRotation = Mathf.Clamp(xRotation, -90f, 90f);

        //control rotation around y axis (Look up and down)
        YRotation += mouseX;

        //applying both rotations
        transform.localRotation = Quaternion.Euler(xRotation, YRotation, 0f);

    }
}

[timber tide]

you're probably overwriting the velocity somewhere else in code. Set velocity isn't accumulative, only forces are

[ashen harness]

i made the reference to the character controller but how do i exactly rotate it like the bottom process``` //control rotation around y axis (Look up and down)
YRotation += mouseX;

    //applying both rotations
    transform.localRotation = Quaternion.Euler(xRotation, YRotation, 0f);```

[verbal dome]

The whole thing is a bit flawed, you should not use parenting with dynamic rigidbodies.
You can try setting the rigidbody isKinematic To true when you pick it up and to false when you drop it. This won't use any physics though really.
Or you can get rid of parenting and move the picked up rigidbody with a Joint or some forces.

[ashen harness]

Ignore the poor discord format lol

[rich ice]

```cs
...
```

almost had it lol

[ashen harness]

huh?

[rich ice]

float
int
formatting

[ashen harness]

lmao

[rich ice]

put cs after the ``` to make it format correctly

[ashen harness]

but anyways how could i replicate this bottom half but for the player controller to rotate side to side only

        float mouseY = Input.GetAxis("Mouse Y") * mouseSensitivity * Time.deltaTime;
        //control rotation around x axis (Look up and down)
        xRotation -= mouseY;

        //we clamp the rotation so we cant Over-rotate (like in real life)
        xRotation = Mathf.Clamp(xRotation, -90f, 90f);

        //control rotation around y axis (Look up and down)
        YRotation += mouseX;

        //applying both rotations
        transform.localRotation = Quaternion.Euler(xRotation, YRotation, 0f);

    }
}```

[rich adder]

you should not be multiplying your mouse inputs with deltaTime btw

[ashen harness]

it was part of a tutorial i was watching for my old project lmao this is just a reused script for a new project

[rich adder]

the brackys tutorial ? yeah that tutorial is shite lol

[ashen harness]

it was a survival game tutorial from someone else lmao

[rich ice]

        float mouseX = Input.GetAxis("Mouse X") * mouseSensitivity * Time.deltaTime;
        float mouseY = Input.GetAxis("Mouse Y") * mouseSensitivity * Time.deltaTime;
        //control rotation around x axis (Look up and down)
        xRotation -= mouseY;

        //we clamp the rotation so we cant Over-rotate (like in real life)
        xRotation = Mathf.Clamp(xRotation, -90f, 90f);

        //control rotation around y axis (Look up and down)
        YRotation += mouseX;

        //applying both rotations
        transform.localRotation = Quaternion.Euler(xRotation, YRotation, 0f);

    }
}```
just 2 letters ![guh](https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1084745397618090024.webp?size=128 "guh")

[rich adder]

that is just as shite then

[ashen harness]

okay but ignoring the poor choice of delta time , i still don't know how to properly replicate the bottom half for the character controller 🤣

could i just replace "mouse" with "controller"? or would that not work

[verbal dome]

"side to side" is y rotation

[ashen harness]

yeah its this half

        //applying both rotations
        transform.localRotation = Quaternion.Euler(xRotation, YRotation, 0f);

    }
}```

yeah?

[verbal dome]

If you only want y rotation, remove the x rotation

[rich ice]

        YRotation += mouseX;

        //applying both rotations
        transform.localRotation = Quaternion.Euler(xRotation, YRotation, 0f);

[humble quarry]

how can i disable a script?

still failed the format im sorry T_T @rich ice

[rich ice]

atleast you tried. that's what really matters

move down the ``` at the bottom by 1 line

should fix it

[ashen harness]

but i think i got it? i just needa know how to connect the X and Y BodyRotation to the controller

[verbal dome]

You added extra spaces after cs

There we go

[ashen harness]

there we go!

[rich ice]

got there in the end lol

[ashen harness]

but how can i make the (X and Y)BodyRotation be the thing that actually rotates the controller?

well the body...

but yk what i mean lol

[verbal dome]

What is this script attached to?

MouseMovement

[rich ice]

you could make the mesh and the controller separate

[ashen harness]

the camera which is the child of the game object that has the controller

you'll see the reference in the script at the top

and it's already connected to the game controller

[real trellis]

is there a very particular workflow for creating intro screens, logos and initial loading stuff? otherwise i'm winging it

[ashen harness]

but i needa know how to actually make the controller be the thing getting the rotation from Bodyrotation

[rich ice]

those are 3 different things

but, you're probably looking for the animator

(timeline is also a thing that exists. i dont exactly know what it does. but, it exsits.

[last owl]

Hi, unity noob trying to make a simple game, I have a rocket spaceship that can move left and right and I want the spaceship to rotate 45 degrees to each side as I move. I'm currently using input.getaxis(horizontal) with transform.translate and transform.rotate but the ship continues rotating as I move when I want it to stop at 45 degrees. I've looked up mathf.clamp and eulers and all that but its very confusing. Could someone help me out please?

[rich ice]

is it 2d or 3d?

[last owl]

3D but moves in 2D

ship moves upwards on its own and player can only move left and right

[rich ice]

have you tried setting the rotation?

[ashen harness]

Mathf.Clamp(xRotation, -90f, 90f);

[rich ice]

so something like

        transform.rotation = Quaternion.Euler(45 * input, 0, 0);

[ashen harness]

lool

[last owl]

whats the difference between transform.rotation and transform.rotate? Unity tutorial uses transform.rotate but everyone else online ive seen uses transform.rotation

[rich ice]

transform.rotate adds to the rotation

transform.rotation sets it (and allows you to read it)

[pure drift]

https://paste.ofcode.org/FU3MxwBmBrU2xiwdAMwY4M could someone help me rotate my character towards the direction of the velocity i know you can use mathf.movetowardsangle but i have no idea how to apply it

[rich ice]

transform.forward = rb.velocity.normalized

(or atleast thats the quick fix, im still reading the code)

[rich ice]

yeah i think this should work fine (unless you want to add smoothing, that requires a little extra code)

[pure drift]

thank you let me try that real quick

[ashen harness]

wait.... theres a simple solution to my problem.....

maybe .. we'll find out lmao

[pure drift]

@rich ice i was wondering why my target dissapears when i tried adding this am i doing something wrong

[rich ice]

changing transform.forward should only change the rotation. not position

something else must be causing it

[pure drift]

ok ill try changing it thank you

[rich ice]

[static cedar]

Hi peps.

[rich ice]

your code also looks a little messy. you can try taking a look at this script, that i made, for reference if you need it. should have every method you could want to use
https://hastebin.skyra.pw/vocegoxada.pgsql

[rich ice]

hello

[verbal dome]

What is the actual "forward" direction of your character?

Select it and show us with gizmos in local mode

[rich ice]

oh right good point. the pivots could be messed up

[verbal dome]

If it moves on the XY plane I would expect it to be transform.right or .up

[pure drift]

thank you for the script

[ashen harness]

YOOOooo lets goo i did it lmao

[rich ice]

nice job

[ashen harness]

so basically all i did to fix my issue so the body doesn't become parallel to the floor is, the parent which is holds the game controller is the one with the mouse movement for looking side to side and the camera itself is the one that looks up and down

probably not the "best" method but if it works then i guess i don't gotta fix it 🤣

the reason the body looking straight down was bad was because it made it so when you jumped and walked backwards..... your backwards was in the air....

[static cedar]

I made this stuff using IPointer(Enter, Exit, and Click).
How do i make it so it detects if you clicked something outside of that window (so the dropdown can close)? Preferably by not checking a mouse input every frame.

[ashen harness]

so you could jump even higher by jumping then looking down and then holding S

it was a very weird bug lmao

[rich ice]

so long as it work

[rich ice]

huh, yeah that is weird lol

[ashen harness]

well it makes sense though in a way

cause when you look down, your back is in the air....

so moving back... was moving into the air lmao

the gravity eventually brought you back down at a speed you couldnt fight but like...

[rich ice]

you're probably better off checking if the window is in focus, than mouse inputs. i dont think unity can read mouse inputs if the window isn't in focus

[ashen harness]

still being able to jump 2x higher than normal wasn't a great feature lmao

[rich ice]

oh yeah, that's a pretty common bug iirc

[rich ice]

next up on the bug bingo, 3x jump height

[ashen harness]

now i coulda just patched the bug with different methods probably

but this way is more beginner friendly lmao

[static cedar]

I could try receiving mouse events straight from canvas then invoke a unity event?

[ashen harness]

now for the fun part

Shift = sprint script lmao

[rich ice]

oh wait, outside of the in-game window

thought you meant the game window as a whole

[ashen harness]

should be fairly simple just need to refer to the player movement script and increase the player movement score when shift is held down else it is put at it's set value

now as for changing values via script from another component is....

[static cedar]

Yeah.
I looked into OnApplicationFocus and it's not the right thing.

[ashen harness]

a different issue for me to figure out lol

[rich ice]

im not entirely sure how to fix that. i've never actually used the IPointer stuff

Oh, it seems like Unity depreciated IPointer stuff. Or it seems like it.

Into unity 6.

[sonic hull]

does unity has a function or a solution that allows me to swap runtime animation in animator states? the reason is some others think making a lot of states in animator for different animation clips is unnecessary work basing on their UE experience, so they wonder if they could swap in-out animations in same states to play a lot of different animation in runtime, which is a part for the skill cancel system. overrideController would be a solution but i heard that has a heavy performance hit when used a lot, is there any better approach for such situation?

[static cedar]

Link all animation states to Start and End.
And just use flags.

You set the flags in code.
Flags can be vector2, floats, bools.

And the condition for each state can be whatever you want.

[ashen harness]

ehh i already ran into an issue 2 lines into coding lmao

[sonic hull]

so must use multiple animator states right

there is no way to avoid them

[ashen harness]

        float shift = Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.LeftShift);

why is it already underlined

lmao

[static cedar]

The guide I remember might be outdated, but yes.

[sonic hull]

oki, thanks

[worn cedar]

How would I get the player to move with the camera

Im using CM freelook rn but I want to move my camera and the player to go twards that way

[rich ice]

(technically) not a code question

use a position constraint or parent the camera to the player

[static cedar]

Is cinemachine good? I never bothered with that.

[ashen harness]

using UnityEngine;

public class Run : MonoBehaviour
{
    public PlayerMovement PlayerMovement;
    // Start is called once before the first execution of Update after the MonoBehaviour is created
    void Start()
    {
        
    }

    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update()
    {
        float run = Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.LeftShift);
        {
            if run = true;
            PlayerMovement.speed = +5;
        }
            

        
    }
}

where problem at? xD

[rich ice]

i've only ever really had problems with it. good for cinematic shots but useless for something like an FPS

[slender nymph]

there are beginner c# courses pinned in this channel, you should start there

[slender nymph]

cinemachine's camera controls will likely be better than whatever you may be able to write. and a lot of stuff JustWorks™️

[ashen harness]

jokes on you! I did it

sorta lmao

    void Update()
    {
        bool run = Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.LeftShift);
        if (run)
        {
            PlayerMovement.speed = PlayerMovement.speed + 5;
        
        }

    }
}```

[slender nymph]

jokes on you! if you don't learn the basics you're going to fail at making a complete game!

[ashen harness]

I'll submit to it at some point, been watching a few tutorials and i did start the course but ehh been playing around with 3D movement

[verbal dome]

You want speed to increase by 5 every frame when you hold shift?

Is the speed being set every frame?

Oh and it's using GetKeyDown so it doesn't even make sense

Unless you reset it on keyup

[ashen harness]

that was the start of the code lmao

now it's functional

        bool run = Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.LeftShift);
        if (run)
        {
            PlayerMovement.speed = PlayerMovement.speed + 5;
        
        }
        bool NoRun = Input.GetKeyUp(KeyCode.LeftShift);
        if (NoRun)
        {
            PlayerMovement.speed = PlayerMovement.speed = 15;
        }```

[slender nymph]

PlayerMovement.speed = PlayerMovement.speed = 15;
lol

[ashen harness]

shhhh

        bool run = Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.LeftShift);
        if (run)
        {
            PlayerMovement.speed = PlayerMovement.speed + 5;
        
        }
        bool NoRun = Input.GetKeyUp(KeyCode.LeftShift);
        if (NoRun)
        {
            PlayerMovement.speed = 15;
        }```

[wintry quarry]

        bool run = Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.LeftShift);
        if (run)```
This could be shortened to:
```cs
if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.LeftShift))```

[worn cedar]

using UnityEngine;

public class PlayerMovement : MonoBehaviour
{
public float moveSpeed = 5f;
public Transform cameraTransform;

private CharacterController characterController;

void Start()
{
    characterController = GetComponent<CharacterController>();
}

void Update()
{
    float horizontal = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal");
    float vertical = Input.GetAxis("Vertical");
    Vector3 inputDirection = new Vector3(horizontal, 0f, vertical).normalized;

    if (inputDirection.magnitude > 0.1f)
    {
        Vector3 cameraForward = cameraTransform.forward;
        Vector3 cameraRight = cameraTransform.right;

        cameraForward.y = 0f;
        cameraRight.y = 0f;
        cameraForward.Normalize();
        cameraRight.Normalize();

        Vector3 moveDirection = cameraForward * inputDirection.z + cameraRight * inputDirection.x;
        characterController.Move(moveDirection * moveSpeed * Time.deltaTime);

        Quaternion targetRotation = Quaternion.LookRotation(moveDirection);
        transform.rotation = Quaternion.Slerp(transform.rotation, targetRotation, Time.deltaTime * 10f);
    }
}

}

ngl i was trying to go that route at first but didnt use the parenthesis that would explain why it wasnt working lmao

[worn cedar]

It says it needs to derive from monobehavior

[ashen harness]

but it works all the same so hey I'm satisfied lol

[wintry quarry]

You need to save your code and fix any compile errors in the console

[ashen harness]

lowkey proud i figured out the run ability lmao

[ashen harness]

jokes on you again! I can't fail to script if I can't come up with an idea to script! (yes i said this because i just ran outta ideas lmao

this is honestly just a learning project i got honestly, just kinda coming up with ideas to slap in and code, learning by doing which ultimately probably isn't the best method with all these courses and stuff but I wanna just kinda play around with some coding and figure it out the hard way lmao if something doesnt work i search it up ig

[vocal junco]

yo i just had a weird thing happen
i added something relatively small that should have just saved a text based on an outcome (win or loss) of my gamescene using PlayerPrefs, and then used that to set a text in the gameover scene

and it proceded to not let me play my gamescene, every time i press the play button unity just freezes and stops responding so i have to close it with the task manager

i tried deleting that script (and a bunch of others that were my most recent to try work back to the issue)
but it hasnt done anything its still freezing, and now ive lost scripts for no particular reason

would anyone have any ideas to fix, or any questions i could try to answer to help narrow down a solution?
please im desperate

[wintry quarry]

You probably wrote an infinite loop

[vocal junco]

it was a few hours ago at this point so im not sure exactly the order of things i added but i have a general idea and have removed pretty much everything ive added today, and everything from previously was working fine

[wintry quarry]

check the newly added code for while or for loops

[vocal junco]

ahhh, the while loop

damn it

[wintry quarry]

yep you wrote an infinite loop 😛

[vocal junco]

i forgot about that one actually

thank you!

[wintry quarry]

Why does your class derive from PlayerInput?

No, the class should not be static

just the instance

Because you made the instance variable of type PlayrerINput

If it's not derived from MonoBehaviour it won't be a component

You want something like this:

public class MySingletonThing : MonoBehaviour {
  public static MySingletonThing instance { get; private set; }

  public readonly PlayerInput input = new();

  void Awake() {
    instance = this;
  }
}```

Technically not really no

But you couldn't use Awake in that case

You could do something along these lines:

public class MyInputHolder {
  static MyInputHolder _instance;
  public static MyInputHolder Instance {
    get {
      if (_instance == null) {
        _instance = new();
      }

      return _instance;
    }
  }

  public PlayerInput Input { get; private set; } = new();
}```

yes

[wintry quarry]

This would be not as a MonoBehaviour

It's not better it's different

It does mean you wouldn't have to put it in the scene though

But you would need to manage eveything about its lifecycle manually

This is more of a typical plain C# singleton

vs a Unity singleton

it's short for new PlayerInput() yes

it's called a target-typed new

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/language-reference/proposals/csharp-9.0/target-typed-new

what part gives you what error

You seem to be accessing playerInput in OnEnable before it's assigned

just based on that screenshot

OnEnable runs before Start

You could use OnEnable, you just can't use the variable before you assign it

Ok so you're using the MonoBehaviour way

Rule of thumb here is that you should not access other components in Awake or OnEnable

because there's no guaranteed order for that

gInput's Awake is running after the other script's

Did you actually put an instance of gInput in the scene?

yes

It needs to be attached to a GameObject in the scene

That's... a weird setup, to be honest

but you'd have to show the whole setup

These errors seem to be in a different script

Oh yeah this:

    public static gInput instance { get; private set; }
    public readonly PlayerInput input = new();
    void Awake()
    {
        instance = this;
    }```
Should be changed to:
```cs
    public static gInput instance { get; private set; }
    public PlayerInput input { get; private set; }
    void Awake()
    {
        input = new();
        instance = this;
    }```

this will fix the first error, and the first error was causing the instance not to get assigned I would say

[cosmic dagger]

that's usually how it's done. you can have a separate GameObject for each singleton or pile them all on the same one. using a separate GameObject for each gives you more freedom and ease of setup, design-wise . . .

[gray cairn]

@cosmic dagger can I ask you a question

[cosmic dagger]

you have 5 secs . . .

though, it's easier to just ask the chat bcuz anyone could help answer . . .

[rich adder]

#📖┃code-of-conduct btw you shouldn't ping someone you're not in conversation with

[gray cairn]

Oh I’m sorry I’m just really new to this whole thing and everytime I go to load a project it says failed to decompress template and it won’t load I have tried moving the path file so it wasn’t so long and I deleted and redownloaded unity 4 times tonight trying to get it to work

[rich adder]

check file size on disk

and probably check the logs

[gray cairn]

What do you mean @rich adder

[rich adder]

not code question btw this goes in #💻┃unity-talk

[gray cairn]

I’m like brand new got unity today I just have a game idea I wanna make it’s super simple

[rich adder]

have you used a computer before?

[gray cairn]

Yes obviously but not for game development

[rich adder]

but what I suggested has nothing to do with game development

[gray cairn]

Wym lol isn’t that everything unity is lol

[rich adder]

checking if you have enough disk size on pc is a basic usage of computer

[gray cairn]

I mean I have a 1tb hard drive? I’m not very tech savvy

[rich adder]

since you asked what do you mean, thats why I asked lol

[rich adder]

yes total size but what about free space

[gray cairn]

I have a very specific idea that I want to emulate an old toy from the early 2000s called cube world I want to make a modern version for computer and 337 gigs free

[rich adder]

it would help if you showed details rather than having to ask 20 qs

[gray cairn]

Do you remember that toy by chance looks like this

I’ll show you a picture of what it is doing one sec

Sorry it’s going to make me reinstall the editor hopefully that fixes it

[teal viper]

Might want to upload an image of a common format like Jpeg or PNG that are displayed in the discord. No one is gonna download that file to have a look

[gray cairn]

Oh my bad I didn’t know it was like that lol one sec

I was wondering why it was like that

It’s a super simple concept one stick figure per cube when cubes are connected stick figures can flow in between them and each cube has a unique character action and appearance

How would you code something like that

[rich adder]

there are quite a few systems involved

probably should not be your first project if you're new lol

start with basic projects to gain xp, and with unity learn website lessons

[gray cairn]

But it is like the one thing I wanna do lol cause I have not found anyone who has emulated this toy lol and I just wanna play it again and live out the nostalgia

Like I’m just trying to do this for a personal thing

[teal viper]

It's also not entirely clear how you want to implement it. Are you gonna need these cubes(or an upgraded version of them) to run the game?

[rich adder]

yeah the idea sounds good, no one saying dont go for it, just build up the mechanics to it by learning smaller things

games are just a bunch of systems mushed together

[gray cairn]

No no I want it to be like a fallout shelter lay out game @teal viper where you can stack them like rooms

I want it to be a digital game not a physical toy

[rich adder]

yeah you'd need to make the rooms and have anchor points on each part of the wall

[gray cairn]

Well @rich adder how would you suggest I get on the path to build that type of game what kind of basics should I know

[rich adder]

[rich adder]

i was zombified by gameboy at the time lol

[gray cairn]

@rich adder that is another thing I was thinking about doing but I’m not sure if it envolves unity to try and put emulated games on my gameboy sp

[rich adder]

but yeah does look like it uses some type of magnets/connectors to link the cubes

[rich adder]

not even worth the effort tbh

[gray cairn]

Really the games are so expensive now

@rich adder would you possibly be willing to help me

With the game once I learn some stuff

[sacred cradle]

hello, is there a way to instantiate an object directly from the assets instead of making a prefab and assigning that as a variable?

[charred spoke]

Either use Resources or Addressables

[sacred cradle]

how do i do that?

[charred spoke]

Google it

[sacred cradle]

i did already

so i came here for help

not to google something i already know

[charred spoke]

Well what did you try? What did not work? How does your code look like?

[sacred cradle]

i followed this

https://discussions.unity.com/t/instantiating-objects-from-assets/388402

and it did not work

[charred spoke]

That code seems valid to me

What did not work exactly ?

[sacred cradle]

hold on

nevermind

it was my ide

allgood 👍

thanks anyways

i have another issue now..

when casting my ray, its returning the position of the object it hit

[burnt vapor]

Which sounds like the whole purpose of casting a ray

[sacred cradle]

yeah but like, im casting a ray at a large plane, it hits, then returns the position of the plane its self. I wanna know the position of where the ray hit\

[burnt vapor]

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/RaycastHit.html point

it works, ty :DDDDD

[signal pollen]

Hello. I want to be able to send data between one object (the truck) to another (the drop off location or the crate). How would I go about doing that through scripts?
Data may be like on the lines of "Hey, you've gained one crate" or "Hey you have been picked up"

[teal viper]

Get a reference to the other script and call a method on it.

The basics of the basics

[signal pollen]

Is there a tutorial on this?

[teal viper]

Plenty.
I'd recommend going through the beginner pathways on unity !learn.

[eternal falcon]

:teacher: Unity Learn ↗

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

[teal viper]

As they cover this and many other basics that you need to know to get started.

[signal pollen]

Hmm okay. I have been following the junior course, maybe I missed a step or forgotten something

[visual linden]

You'll get there :) Starting out with Unity there's so much ground to cover and it definitely takes a while for it all to sink in.

[teal viper]

If you don't know how to reference objects/components, you've definitely missed something

[signal pollen]

https://learn.unity.com/tutorial/lab-1-personal-project-plan?uv=2022.3&projectId=5caccdfbedbc2a3cef0efe63 Following this course, I am on Lab 1, trying to make this mini game. I don't feel like I covered referencing in the Lesson 1.1 to 1.4 with their car and plane thingy. It was mostly collision boxes

Yeah, reviewing it, Unit 1 does not cover referencing

If the solution is to stop this mini-project, continue the course to learn more, and then come back to it, I guess I should do that

[visual linden]

That is, I fear, the way to do it

[signal pollen]

Alright then. I will do that. Thanks.

[visual linden]

But playing around on your own in-between the courses to figure out where you are on your learning path is definitely a good idea

[signal pollen]

The thing is the "I don't know what I don't know" that is kicking my butt

Like earlier, I found out through asking here about wheel colliders.

I will have a better look at the course syllabus overview, maybe that will guide me better.

[teal viper]

I think you're just supposed to follow it as is, without trying to implement new features. The junior programmer pathway probably covers more code related stuff, including references.

The essentials are more to teach you to work with the editor if I understand correctly.

[signal pollen]

I see! The lab work looked to me as if it's a "Go off an do a thing". I did try that not realising that I should have kept within the parameters of what was taught.

[teal viper]

Maybe within the extents of what they have covered in the course.

The final goal is that you would know where(in the manual/API docs) and what to look for when you need to learn about a feature or implement one.

[signal pollen]

Thanks again! I will do the tutorials. It appears that Unit 2 and 4 of the Jr. Pathway covers what I need.

Hello! I'm getting a strange visual error that could use some help. I'm using 3d drag and drop but the z position keeps changing during the drag part, it looks like it flickers between 10 and zero. I've tryed to set z to zero but that made it even worse. Is there a problem with this script?

[timber tide]

I'mma go with you'd probably dont want to be dragging the cards in world space

gameObject.transform.position = m_Camera.ScreenToWorldPoint(Input.mousePosition - GetMouseWorldPosition());
Are you zeroing out the z here? That's a bandaid you can do probably

Thanks for the input! I've tried to play around with the z axis in that line, but it makes it worse. I've tried : cs //gameObject.transform.position = m_Camera.ScreenToWorldPoint(Input.mousePosition - GetMouseWorldPosition()); draggingPosition = m_Camera.ScreenToWorldPoint(Input.mousePosition - GetMouseWorldPosition()); //gameObject.transform.position = new Vector3(draggingPosition.x, draggingPosition.y, originalPosition.z); //gameObject.transform.position = new Vector3(draggingPosition.x, draggingPosition.y, transform.parent.position.z); gameObject.transform.position = new Vector3(draggingPosition.x, draggingPosition.y, -5f);

[timber tide]

This isn't 2D, right? Confirm that the drag is what's changing the z

https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.0/Documentation/ScriptReference/RectTransformUtility.ScreenPointToLocalPointInRectangle.html
This is usually the method you want to use when dealing with canvas type dragging because you want to be dragging on a defined plane

[dark flare]

Thanks, I'll look into that

[timber tide]

assuming you are working with rect transforms

Otherwise you can probably add a transparent quad in the background with a collider to define yourself a plane if this is all in world space. Though, zero-ing the z should work fine so if you can figure out what's causing the issues with it.

sorry

also, this might be a #archived-networking question (probably fine here for now. if it gets anymore complex though, definitely post it in #archived-networking)

[viscid fable]

yeah

[quick pollen]

so you can't do this?

[grand snow]

The error squiggles are cus you forgot break;

[rich ice]

missing the break at the end

[quick pollen]

the way I wanted it is if I get any of the cases, it executes what's inside case 3

I know I don't have breaks

[grand snow]

you can however do this safely:

switch(blah)
{
  case 1:
  case 2:
    break;

  default:
    break;
}

[quick pollen]

can i not have anything after case 1?

like to do something?

[grand snow]

  case 1:
  case 2:
  Debug.Log("I log on 1 AND 2")
    break;

[night raptor]

fallthrough only happens when there's no code in the case

[quick pollen]

what if I want something for case 1?

ahh okay

[grand snow]

then add something but you cannot do the fall through anymore

[quick pollen]

thats sad

[grand snow]

if you need more complex checks you just need to go back to if else

[quick pollen]

I guess I can do this?

if theres no errors, exit the method

if theres any kind of error, log it, and do the last 2 instructions

[burnt vapor]

Except in the previous code you shared those last two lines only happened in case 3

[night raptor]

What they wanted to do is have cases 1 and 2 fallthrough to case 3 anyways hence no break in those cases

[burnt vapor]

If the whole point is to log a message and to ensure case 0 is not handled, then just write it in steps rather than introducing a switch

[quick pollen]

yea that one was wrong

[burnt vapor]

var result = RecalculationConditions();
if (result == 0) return;
var message = result switch
{
  1 => "Foo",
  2 => "Bar",
  _ => "Baz",
};
Debug.Log(message);
agent.destination = ...

I assume Unity has inline switches by now?

[quick pollen]

no, I wanted to leave if its case 0, and log errors and do something if any other case

[crystal quiver]

not c# oop

object oriented programming

[burnt vapor]

See my code example

[quick pollen]

c# is an object oriented language

[rich ice]

did you even check !learn ?

Even better would be to cache the strings, or put them in an array. Then you can access it from the index of result

[rich ice]

https://learn.unity.com/mission/source-control-and-optimization?pathwayId=5f7e17e1edbc2a5ec21a20af

[quick pollen]

oh yeah I see

I mean, the way I did it should be fine tho no?

the last one

btw yes this is for pathfinding

[crystal quiver]

thank you

[burnt vapor]

// Somethere at the start of the class.
private static readonly string[] _resultMessages = [
  "Foo", "Bar", "Baz"
];

var result = RecalculationConditions();
if (result == 0) return;
Debug.Log(result - 1); // Index starts at 0
agent.destination = ...

[burnt vapor]

Yes it is, these are all tips and performance improvements

[quick pollen]

tbf I might use this because this logs all errors

[burnt vapor]

Then use the array, otherwise you are constantly making strings

[quick pollen]

oh

[burnt vapor]

This also depends on how often the code is called though. If it's not frequent, it does not matter

[quick pollen]

my idea is that I'm generating random points to wander towards

if the distance from the point is too big, or the status is invalid (tho im not even sure that helps) or the character doesnt move for a specific amount of time, I want to recalculate

I'm using Random.insideUnitCircle, which can generate points inside walls or outside the game field

I couldn't find a better way to check if the point that the agent is trying to move towards is actually accessible

[fringe plover]

wow

[burnt vapor]

Sorry I can't really comment on Unity specific behaviour since I don't actually use Unity

But I am more than happy to help with general C#

[rich ice]

im pretty sure you just cant

i think audioRandomContainer is more like a scriptable object

you aren't supposted to change it at runtime

thus is why you dont need access to it

(im probably wrong though, i haven't used it before)

[fringe plover]

I just need to access list of audio clips, bruh, even scriptable objects are accessable, could have just made them { get; private set }

[wintry quarry]

What is AudioRandomContainer

Is that your custom class?

[fringe plover]

Unity 6 thing

no

[wintry quarry]

What are you trying to do

[fringe plover]

I need to get list of clips at runtime

[rich ice]

why not just make a seperate list?

[burnt vapor]

@grand snow ?

[wintry quarry]

In order to do what

[grand snow]

Its a unity server so ofc what people ask will be unity related

[fringe plover]

I preload AudioClip's in loading screen, i have list, but instead of manulaly putting every audio clip in Container , i wanted to use AudioRandomContainer

[burnt vapor]

Not every question in here has to be Unity specific genius

There are also questions that generally revolve around C#

[wintry quarry]

If they're referenced in the container they'll get loaded anyway

[quick pollen]

welll....

tbf C# is in Unity, so

[leaden pasture]

Yeah but surely like 99% are gonna be? It just seems like an interesting choice to join a Unity server when you don't use it 😭😭

[fringe plover]

arent they are loaded when they are played if PreloadAudioData is not set on clip?

[burnt vapor]

Then your question from a few minutes ago would not apply here since you were asking about C# syntax which has nothing to do with Unity

[fringe plover]

Okay i guess ill just make audio data preload at start

[wintry quarry]

Yes true

[burnt vapor]

Surely you can understand that when you code for Unity, it often revolves around general C# and questions might not involve Unity at all?

[fringe plover]

i wanted to avoid that

[quick pollen]

well yeah, finding loopholes is easy like this, just "use common sense" is the answer to this

[rich ice]

yeah that's definitely true. still a bit strange, to see someone who doesn't use unity give help in the unity server lol

[quick pollen]

to be fair the Unity server is 3x more active than the C# one sooo

[leaden pasture]

Yeah, but also there's a whole lot of Unity specific classes and functions and stuff that are oftentimes also involved

[leaden pasture]

Oh that's fair

[static cedar]

I'm using IPointerClick, is there a way to have the event continue to propagate up even if one script already catches it?

[burnt vapor]

Luckily 99% of the questions asked here can be Googled

[leaden pasture]

Valid 😭

[wintry quarry]

I think if you call "Reset" on the event?

[burnt vapor]

Nothing strange about it

[wintry quarry]

Or something with the Use and used property?

[burnt vapor]

You come here asking coding questions and the majority often do not involve Unity

I don't see why it matters anyway

[grand snow]

I guess it doesn't, anyone here is free to step in to help when they can help (general c# or unity specific)

[static cedar]

public abstract class AbstractEventData
{
    protected bool m_Used;

    public virtual bool used => m_Used;

    public virtual void Reset()
    {
        m_Used = false;
    }

    public virtual void Use()
    {
        m_Used = true;
    }
}

Ig Reset().

[burnt vapor]

And if I am not experienced with it, I don't help with it

[grand snow]

as long as you are aware of other unity specific gotchas and limitations

like how old our c# version is 😭

[static cedar]

I think this is kinda obvious but what if you're using Button or Slider? You can't access the EventData of it unless you inherited your own and reimplemented the event handler.

[wintry quarry]

Yes you would do exactly that

[burnt vapor]

It's not old

.NET Standard 2.1 is the latest version and Unity runs on it since 2021.2

[grand snow]

no it has the feature set of something around c# 6/7 so its lacking certain features
probably due to the use of mono and not the .net core clr

[runic lance]

it's pretty old, we have only a subset of C# 9 features

the current version is 13 already

[grand snow]

Hopefully in this year we actually get the promised updates 🙏

[static cedar]

Unity 6 allowed file scope namespace even though it's still Standard.
Is there a reason why we can't use newer C# syntax even with older C# versions way before that?

Seems like I can do C#10 syntax in a .NET Standard in a normal project.

[grand snow]

I presume because mono or whatever else unity has modified or slapped on

[burnt vapor]

C# 9 apart from a few things like init-only setters and records and stuff

I would not call that old

When it migrates to CoreCLR it probably supports the latest version

[static cedar]

Of course we can't really use actual newer C# features like record structs. Whatever actual means.
Also other new standard library functions or optimisations, mostly Linq for the latter i think.
These aren't available even if we made the C# syntax to match newer versions.

[static cedar]

I pray hard hoping it's not just locked on one C# version.

[burnt vapor]

As in you can't modify to an older one?

I don't know how strict Unity handles the csproj files, but I would assume you can just modify it?

[swift crag]

to be honest, I don't understand the relationship between Mono/CoreCLR, the version of .NET, and the version of C#

[static cedar]

Unity rewrites csproj files every build.

I wish they just stop doing that.

[swift crag]

Mono is the runtime. .NET is a set of libraries. C# is the language standard.

I think that's the idea?

[burnt vapor]

Oh, yeah that is dumb

[static cedar]

Once they do switch to CoreCLR, I also wish they would just allow standard csproj. I feel like the Assembly Definition files are kinda wonky. But I also have a feeling they won't because they would rather keep controlling properties in the Unity editor.

[burnt vapor]

csproj files are super useful

[pure fractal]

Can Unity make Turn based game? if yes Do you suggestion tutorial pls

[burnt vapor]

Of course it can. If you google this there are plenty of tutorials

[pure fractal]

thank you.

[cosmic dagger]

Why not? It's just a game engine. It's you who makes it turn-based. A simple Google search will yield a plethora of tutorials. Have at it . . .

[brave compass]

That has been confirmed to be part of the transition to CoreCLR, integration with MSBuild, which will also allow for using NuGet directly.

[static cedar]

What's confirmed? I have two sentences there.

[brave compass]

That they will add MSBuild support, which means support for user managed csproj files.

[static cedar]

Ah.

[brave compass]

MSBuild Integration and Convergence
We’re making progress on fully integrating MSBuild between Unity’s internal build pipeline (for UnityEngine modules) and the user code compilation pipeline. This convergence will lead to a more streamlined and optimized workflow.

A key benefit of MSBuild integration is an improved IDE experience. In the past, building from the IDE didn’t use the same compilation pipeline as Unity, which could lead to inconsistencies. With MSBuild integration, we’ll share the same pipeline, ensuring the IDE build process is reliable.

MSBuild will also bring a major upgrade by standardizing the C# compilation pipeline, including support for NuGet packages. Another advantage is the extensibility of MSBuild, allowing developers to customize the managed code build process more easily.

[swift crag]

Exciting!

[static cedar]

Btw, how can you copy parent component values and paste it on an inheriting component?

The option's grayed out.

[verbal dome]

You would think that it's possible but apparently not 🤔

[static cedar]

Yeah it's.

Wild.

[swift crag]

I bet you could just rewrite the copied data to pretend it's from the child component type

but I forget how to actually edit the copied component (you can't paste it externally and when copy it back in, annoyingly)

[static cedar]

Found out that Awake does not guarantee to be the first event called across all game objects.
It's mixed with OnEnabled.

[visual linden]

That sounds strange to me. Where did you read this?

[frail hawk]

i was about to say same

[visual linden]

Maybe they mean 2 gameobjects in the scene are not guaranteed to have the calls invoked in unison?
eg Awake-> OnEnable might be called for gameobject 1 before Awake->OnEnable is called for gameobject 2

[brave compass]

Awake is always called before OnEnable on each script, but for an entire scene, it gets initialized as:
object1.Awake
object1.OnEnable
object2.Awake
object2.OnEnable

Instead of:
object1.Awake
object2.Awake
object1.OnEnable
object2.OnEnable.

[burnt vapor]

OnEnable happens when the instance of the MonoBehaviour is created, which is just after Awake

You might be confused with how Unity handles the lifecycle when it first loads a scene vs when you add concurrent gameobjects @static cedar

[edgy tangle]

Really? Does it do all of those and then Start for everything that’s enabled?

[brave compass]

Start is called just before the first Update of each script.

[edgy tangle]

Right I’m aware

But I mean in terms of entire scene execution

I always thought it was:
All monos - Awake
All monos - OnEnable
All monos - Start

Of course it needs to iterate through each one during each phase so getting references to things all in awake isn’t going to work often

Which is why sometimes its better to do it in start

Because for sure what happens is any Start will occur after all Awakes

[swift crag]

Awake and OnEnable run on each object in the scene on frame 0.

Start then runs on every object on frame 1.

[brave compass]

The entire execution with Start and Update would be ordered like this:

Scene load:
object1.Awake
object1.OnEnable
object2.Awake
object2.OnEnable

First Update
object1.Start
object2.Start
object1.Update
object2.Update

Subsequent updates
object1.Update
object2.Update

[edgy tangle]

Okay interesting. I never knew this

[swift crag]

They run together (as they always do, given that the behaviour is enabled)

Also, every Start method on a certain frame runs before every Update method on the same frame

[dark flare]

Hello, I'm looking for help with a script that I've tried in multiple projects and scenes, but it still behaves the same way. The issue is that some seemingly random value is thrown into my drag value making the dragged object appear ofscreen half the time. it also makes the movement appear to move at half the speed of the mouse. Please take a look at this script in one of your scenes and help me find what is wrong.
https://paste.mod.gg/duygzyexnuoo/0

[brave compass]

This is probably right, I wrote it wrong.

[swift crag]

I was not sure about that, so I had to go and test it!

[swift crag]

smells like two things are fighting over the position of the card..

[dark flare]

I've tryed it in an empty scene, which made me think that not the case

[swift crag]

GetMouseWorldPosition is named wrongly. It should be GetCardScreenPosition

[brave compass]

Since we're talking about Awake and OnEnable, I feel like I should mention again the secret event methods that happen even before Awake and OnEnable...

void __internalAwake();
void OnEnableINTERNAL();
void OnDisableINTERNAL();

https://github.com/Developer-Notes-Extension/Unity-Notes/discussions/288#discussioncomment-5748519

[swift crag]

Given how the card looks like it's flying out of the camera, I think the card is getting moved on the Z axis

Do you have a perspective camera?

Even if it's orthographic, this part is very suspicious:

gameObject.transform.position = m_Camera.ScreenToWorldPoint(Input.mousePosition - GetMouseWorldPosition());

ScreenToWorldPoint needs a Z position to know how far from the camera the point should be

[grand snow]

for keeping movement on a plane i use screen point to ray and then i use a Plane cast

[swift crag]

Oh yeah, that's exactly the problem

[swift crag]

And that's exactly the fix (:

[swift crag]

Input.mousePosition - GetCardScreenPosition() will have a negative Z component, assuming the card started in front of the camera

[grand snow]

Plane dragPlane; //Your plane
public void OnDrag(PointerEventData eventData)
{
    var dragPosRay = eventData.pressEventCamera.ScreenPointToRay(eventData.position);
    if (dragPlane.Raycast(dragPosRay, out float hitDistance))
    {
        Vector3 newPosition = dragPosRay.origin + (dragPosRay.direction * hitDistance);
        transform.position = newPosition;
    }
}

an example via the event system

[swift crag]

Therefore, ScreenToWorldPoint will give you a point behind the camera

It'll flip-flop back and forth every single frame

(also, Plane is straightforward to create -- you give it a point the plane should go through and the normal vector, which is the direction the plane is facing)

So you'd make a plane that:

• Goes through the original position of the card
• Faces the camera

[dark flare]

Thanks for the advice, I'll get right on that plane

[robust harness]

is this the right way to go about this, it seems very dumb (the code is in a state machine so i cant make the gameobjects public) ```csharp
private GameObject playerPrefab;
private GameObject enemyPrefab;
private Transform playerBattleStation;
private Transform enemyBattleStation;
private TextMeshProUGUI playerName;
private TextMeshProUGUI enemyName;

private Unit playerUnit;
private Unit enemyUnit;

public override void EnterState(BattleStateManager battle)
{
    playerPrefab = battle.GetComponent<BattleStateManager>().playerPrefab;
    enemyPrefab = battle.GetComponent<BattleStateManager>().enemyPrefab;
    playerBattleStation = battle.GetComponent<BattleStateManager>().playerBattleStation;
    enemyBattleStation = battle.GetComponent<BattleStateManager>().enemyBattleStation;
    playerName = battle.GetComponent<BattleStateManager>().playerName;
    enemyName = battle.GetComponent<BattleStateManager>().enemyName;

    SetupBattle();
    Debug.Log("Initializing battle");
}```

[swift crag]

You can reference prefabs by a component type

I almost never reference prefabs as GameObjects

also, you already have a BattleStateManager

[hot laurel]

i think its part of internal systems, like serialization system and it shouldn't be touched
