So it's:

var halfFOV = viewInDegrees * 0.5f;```

[acoustic sequoia]

like above?

[wintry quarry]

yeah that should work

[acoustic sequoia]

nice, why when i search how to find the feild of view view cone in unity, it sends me down a trigonomic path instead of this simple way?

[wintry quarry]

Because people don't know how to think in vectors and quaternions

they fall back to what they learned in 7th grade - which isn't necessarily a bad thing but there are better ways.

[acoustic sequoia]

*solved
why is this function only working sometimes? when it's not workign it's either; 1. not drawing a line, 2. drawing a line when it's behind the transform.

private void IsObjectInViewCone(float radius, float angle) {
            var snakePosition = snakeBrain.position;
            var targetPosition = _targetTransform.position;
            var distance = Vector3.Distance(snakePosition, targetPosition);

            if(distance > radius) return;

            var directionToTarget = (targetPosition - snakePosition).normalized;
            var angleToTarget = Vector3.Angle(transform.up, directionToTarget);
            if(angleToTarget <= angle / 2f) DrawDebug.Line(snakePosition, targetPosition, Color.red);
        }

Anyone know why when I add 3 players to the input system using .instantiate() it creates a 4th box
How do I fix this

Each player object im instantiating has an input system component and a camera child object

[slender nymph]

show code, and be more descriptive about what you mean. what "4th box" are you referring to

[cosmic dagger]

how many boxes do you start off with?

[wintry quarry]

What's a box?

[acoustic belfry]

Hi, im still struggling to make this work, for an strange reason when the player shoots it proyectiles and moves, the shooting speed gets weird, this is of what im talking about (ignore the glitched animation)

this is the script

{
    Vector3 mouseposition = Camera.main.ScreenToWorldPoint(Input.mousePosition);
    mouseposition.z = 0;
    Vector3 shootDirection = (mouseposition - transform.position).normalized;

    GameObject riflebullet = Instantiate(rifle_bullet, transform.position, Quaternion.identity);
    riflebullet.GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>().linearVelocity = new Vector2(shootDirection.x, shootDirection.y) * rifle_bulletspeed;

}```

[grizzled spoke]

💀 mb

i meant these boxes:

[wintry quarry]

nothing weird about it

that's the Doppler effect in action

[grizzled spoke]

i added the white lines
Each animal is a player object with an input system component
the 1st 2nd and 3rd boxes correspond with a chracter, the 4th does

this is how i instantiate the player objects
the boxes are a split screen from the input system

[slender nymph]

the fourth one does not appear to be a separate viewport, but rather is what the main camera is actually seeing, but the other three viewports are overlayed on top of that

[wintry quarry]

yep - disable the main camera you'll see that go dark

[grizzled spoke]

that's a problem
would it be possible to have 3 players be horizontal thirds and 2 and 4 players be the default with halves and quadrants respectively

[wintry quarry]

anything is possible

YOu just have to write the code

I take it you're using PlayerInputManager's built-in split screen feature though?

[grizzled spoke]

it didnt go dark, instead it's displaying the camera from a previou scene

[grizzled spoke]

yup

[wintry quarry]

Yeah it's probably not that customizable

if you want what you said you'll have to write it yourself

[grizzled spoke]

uhh so how would I do that

[wintry quarry]

By writing code that sets the camera viewports:
https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.0/Documentation/ScriptReference/Camera-rect.html

[grizzled spoke]

so when there are 2 or 4 players use split screen, and when there are 3, split it myself?
That seems pretty easy

[wintry quarry]

I would just always split it myself

the logic is not that hard

you could have a switch statement for the number of players and the code that assigns rects to the cameras.

[grizzled spoke]

is there any benefit, since I already have the split screen code and it's extra work to write it for 3 playes
plus im getting contradicting information, some people say split screen using the built in input manager is better than manual

[acoustic belfry]

but the issue is, how i get rid of it? The proyectiles must have a constant speed no matter how fast the player moves

cuz the player is supossed to move like crazy and shoot

[wintry quarry]

Yes the benefit is you get to split the screen as you want instead of the way Unity decided it should be.

[wintry quarry]

Those two statements are contradictory

[acoustic belfry]

wat

[wintry quarry]

If you want them to always appear on screen with the same spacing etc, you would add the player's velocity to the bullets

[wintry quarry]

if the player is moving and the bullets are moving, you will get these spacing artifacts

[acoustic belfry]

oh

[wintry quarry]

it's just the nature of what you're doing

[grizzled spoke]

alr thanks

[acoustic belfry]

wait, the character is that fast that outspeeds the mf bullets?

dang, then i have to speed up the bullets?

[wintry quarry]

has nothi9ng to do with "outspeeding" them

if you run in the same direction you're shooting, they're going to appear compressed

[acoustic belfry]

but i feel like shouldnt be like that

[wintry quarry]

Again it's similar to the doppler effect:

[wintry quarry]

Well... the world doesn't work according to your feelings unfortunately...

[acoustic belfry]

but i mean

in a gameplay way, do this doesn't feel annoying?

[wintry quarry]

that's up to you as the game designer

[acoustic belfry]

i mean cuz thats whats making me feel anxious, if this is normal as physics say, then doesnt matter?

[wintry quarry]

I didn't say it doesn't matter

it's just a consequence of how your game works

[acoustic belfry]

dang

then what i should do?

[wintry quarry]

And yes if the bullet was significantly faster than the player, the effect would be less noticable

[wintry quarry]

I can't answer that, only you can answer that

it's your game

[acoustic belfry]

ok...

but i mean, i dont want that effect to happen

cuz i feel doesnt look too good?

idk

[wintry quarry]

Ok so change it then

I already made two suggestions on how to

pick one of those

[acoustic belfry]

ok, well, thanks

[wintry quarry]

[acoustic belfry]

how do i do that specifictly?

im pretty new at coding...

[wintry quarry]

add vectors with the + operator

[acoustic belfry]

what do u mean?

[dire kelp]

hi i am trying to make a jumpscare if someone presses a button but the animation simply wont show. i used the debugger which showed me that the button got triggerd so it must be an animation error but i cant get behind it any help?

[acoustic sequoia]

how can i do something like this without edge cases or any errors with storing a quick access to a list of colliders: (im going ot remove irrelivant code )

private Collider2D[] _collidersInFOV;

private void IsObjectInViewCone(float radius, float angle) {

            var overlapObjects = _enemyManager.GetAllObjectsInRadius(snakeBrain.position, radius);
            var colliders = new List<Collider2D>();

            foreach(var enemy in overlapObjects) {
                if(angleToTarget <= angle / 2f) colliders.Add(enemy);
            }

            _collidersInFOV = null;
            _collidersInFOV = colliders.ToArray();
        }```

in other words... i can't seem to find out the correct way to make an array (with objs in it ) to change entirely into another array (with new objs of same type )

[polar acorn]

That's how physics works in real life. If you fire a gun while standing on a train, the bullet is moving faster than if you were standing still

If you want your bullets to move at a constant speed, they will be closer together if you move in the direction you fire

[wintry quarry]

Adding the player's velocity into the velocity of the bullet would be done with the+ operator

[ivory bobcat]

It wouldn't remove the Doppler effect though. The reason why the bullets appear closer is because you're walking in the same direction as the fired bullets. Spawning the next bullet closer to the previous by running in the same direction. If the bullets are super fast, it'll not be as noticeable.

If you want them moving relative to the player or the screen rather than the world, you could perhaps child the bullet to the player so that when moving and firing, the bullet would "look" consistent in speed (they'll always take a certain amount of time to leave the screen because they would be displaced relative to the parent - with the camera following the player)

Folks, I have a tilemap 2D. I want to make Enemy AI. Which approach can i go with?

[rich adder]

[buoyant finch]

hello so I have this code and basically I want to display idle sprite upon start or entry https://paste.ofcode.org/34nmY3HFYZL6WU4p35JbSy8

[tulip nimbus]

https://youtu.be/O_CyVdB0NgY

Why do my variables behave wierd? In this instance, sometimes when i switch objects in game hierarchy it feels like all my variables operate "faster" or increment differently than they should. This also happens when the tab is maximized. What can i do?

void PlaneMove()
{
        //constant Speed
        transform.position += transform.right * Time.deltaTime * Speed;


   
        if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.A))
        {
            transform.Rotate(new Vector3(0, 0, 1) * sway);
        }
        if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.D))
        {
            transform.Rotate(new Vector3(0, 0, -1) * sway);
        }

sway is supposed to control the Plane A/D movement, as shown in the Video, and with my testing, this variable is not changed.

[keen dew]

You have to apply deltaTime to the sway as well

[tulip nimbus]

Thank you!

[echo ruin]

Best option is to make each collider a child object. You can assign two colliders in the code with each their own name, but as far as I know, OnTriggerEnter will trigger both colliders. Best approach is to seperate them into child objects

[runic quartz]

quick question, does a raycast also rotate with the GameObject's rotation? Say a cube rotating every frame, a raycast set on one of the faces. Does the raycast also rotate with the cube's tranform rotation?

also does the raycast also rotate if the cube were to rotate via the animator?

[slender nymph]

raycast does not "rotate", it casts a ray in a specified direction. so you need to be using the object's rotation to determine the direction you cast the ray

[runic quartz]

in a way, the raycast is stuck onto the side of the cube. Whatever transformations are applied to that cube's side will also affect the raycast. Did i get that right?

[slender nymph]

no because a raycast is not an object in the scene and has nothing to do with the object you call the method from. it is entirely dependent on the data you pass to the method

[runic quartz]

so if i were to match the raycast's rotation with the cube's side, i'd have to pass direction to the raycast?

[slender nymph]

yes, you always have to specify a direction for the raycast

[runic quartz]

""" bool raycastUp = Physics.Raycast(transform.position, moveDir, 20f);
"""

somewhat like this, got it

[slender nymph]

how do you get the value of moveDir

[runic quartz]

from the direction the player is currently bound to move

[slender nymph]

how

[runic quartz]

the emphasis

[slender nymph]

okay i'm not going to play this game where i have to keep asking for more and more information. i am not familiar with the rest of your code, i do not know where these values you use come from, so naturally i don't know where targetAngle comes from and have no way of determining whether this will be relative to world space or the object's rotation

if the information i've provided thus far is not sufficient for you to understand how the raycast works then maybe someone else will come along and help you

[runic quartz]

yeah I understood the task

thanks for your time

[quick pollen]

    int x;
    private void Awake() {
        Pools = new IObjectPool<GameObject>[projectiles.Count];
        for(int i = 0; i < projectiles.Count; i++){
            x = i;
            Pools[x] = new ObjectPool<GameObject>(() => CreatePooledItem(x),
            OnTakeFromPool, OnReturnedToPool,
            OnDestroyPoolObject, true, 20, 50);
        }
        Instance = this;
    }
    GameObject CreatePooledItem(int i)
    {
        GameObject newPooledObject = Instantiate(projectiles[i]);
        newPooledObject.GetComponent<BasicBullet>().pool = Pools[i];
        return newPooledObject;
    }```

so for some reason, x is always equal to projectiles.Count - 1, no matter what I do

I try to get items from pool number 0, and it always takes one from pool number 1, no matter what

I tried having a list of object pools so I don't have to create a new one for each different type of projectile

I want to implement a game where I will have many characters. None of them share common characteristics, but many of them could share common abilities. For example, many could move with a basic movement, some could jump, some could control gravity, some could fly, and so on. To achieve this, I thought of creating components, like the PlayerMovement class, the PlayerJump class, the PlayerGravity class, where I will define parameters and methods. Then, for each type of cube (or player), I will use GetComponent and use the methods from these classes. For example, in the Player1 class, I will get the jump movement component, while in Player2, I will get the component and then use the methods from these classes
Each player will have different animations, but I could implement them in each script, for example in PlayerMovement, like this. I couldn’t create a separate animation script unless it's a different one for each player, or I could implement it directly in their respective controller.
Could someone give me some advjse??

[quick pollen]

"implement a game"
"none of them share common characteristics, but they share common abilities"

what.

if they share abilities they share characteristics

also, just use an animator

[eternal dragon]

i wanted just to say that i cant use inheritance but composition

but its good to create some classes with only methods that i can acces from a controller ??

[quick pollen]

why not just have each of the components have a reference to an animator, and animate your characters like that?

you dont need inheritance for that

just manually set the reference to the animator

[eternal needle]

declare x within awake instead, or use a new variable if x is used elsewhere for some reason

        for(int i = 0; i < projectiles.Count; i++){
            int x = i;

[eternal dragon]

yeah i can but it s a ripetition of code

[quick pollen]

you saved me, thank you!

I know lambda expressions pass by reference basically

but ive been told back then to do this, where I declare x globally, and didnt check if it works for a non-1 array

[verbal dome]

The whole idea is to declare a local variable

Not global/class scoped lol

[buoyant finch]

hello so I have this code and basically I want to display idle sprite upon start or entry https://paste.ofcode.org/34nmY3HFYZL6WU4p35JbSy8

[verbal dome]

And what is happening instead?

[buoyant finch]

Walk animation is played

[verbal dome]

Find out why

You need to learn to debug your code

[buoyant finch]

I have I fixed everything else

All code runs well now like everything I desired I can even change directions I do still suspect that the animation frames are the problem and I should try modifying then perhaps

[verbal dome]

You could just Debug.Log something every time you change the current frame

This way you can check what is setting the walk animation at the start

[visual linden]

I'm curious if GetAxisRaw really returns 0 and not just some very small number.
Instead of checking if it's greater than 0, perhaps try checking if it's greater than 0.05f, or try GetAxis instead of GetAxisRaw.

[astral falcon]

I highly suggest going over to the new input system anyways.

[buoyant finch]

hey osmal I have a glitch now literally like all other directions work exactly fine except left Idk why I literally tried replacing it with other sprites and double and thriple checked that it wasn't empty but it isn't here is the code I even debugged it properlyhttps://paste.ofcode.org/MGyaAMV5LfN3rKtrT337Vg

[verbal dome]

I don't see any debug.logs, did you use the IDE debugger?

[verbal dome]

Just checking, you removed the animator component right?

[buoyant finch]

Yeah

[buoyant finch]

so what do you think?

[verbal dome]

Show the inspector of this component with all of the animations visible

[buoyant finch]

sure

[buoyant finch]

see

[verbal dome]

Okay well that doesn't tell me much, i'll just assume you assigned them correctly

So what debugging steps did you take?

Because I don't see any trace of debugging in your code

[buoyant finch]

I checked all the frames that were toggled

[astral falcon]

I guess, the frames you have are just being mirrored because of frame 6, 11 and 3 are in there two times?

[buoyant finch]

yeah I erased it as it was kinda useless

[buoyant finch]

yes they are used for the walk animation's frames and only left doesn't work all other directions work well

[astral falcon]

What happens instead?

[buoyant finch]

in left direction?

[astral falcon]

yes, I did not read the whole conversation, sorry if you have to say it again

[buoyant finch]

yeah so basically the walk animation iterates through its frames and also has a consistent walking system when key is pressed for some time let me show it to you

[buoyant finch]

see

so you can see that the left animation doesn't work like the other directions

[verbal dome]

What's with all those anyKeyDown and anyKey checks

The logic is really hard to follow

[buoyant finch]

I have really brute forced the methods in order for the script to work properly

[verbal dome]

Also just replace all Input.GetKey(Keycode.z) with isRunning

[verbal dome]

Using bandaids like that will likely cause more problems down the line

(Like now)

[buoyant finch]

no it cannot happen as when I do that many unexpected errors come

[buoyant finch]

but I don't think that is the problem as it worked fine earlier it just got this recently

[verbal dome]

        else if (isRunning)
        {
            // Show idle sprite when Z is held and no movement
            spriteRenderer.sprite = GetIdleSprite();
        }
        else if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.Z) && !Input.anyKeyDown && !Input.anyKey)
        {
            spriteRenderer.sprite = GetIdleSprite();
        }```
How can the second ``else if`` be true here? Z key can't be pressed since isRunning is false

[buoyant finch]

yeah that's why it didn't work but this works

else if (Input.GetKeyUp(KeyCode.Z) || Input.GetButtonUp("Run"))
{
    // Transition from running to walking: force first walk frame
    currentFrames = GetFramesByDirection(false); // Get walk frames
    currentFrame = 0; // Set to first walk frame
    spriteRenderer.sprite = currentFrames[currentFrame];
    frameTimer = 0f;  // Reset animation timing
    keyPressTimer = 0f; // Reset key press timer
    return;
}

[verbal dome]

I think you should use some kind of state machine. This is a mess

[buoyant finch]

I tried earlier but it was a lot more big mess

I just want to fix this last thing now

[true owl]

Thx

[buoyant finch]

so how to fix then?

[verbal dome]

You were told many times to debug the input and other variables. Make sure they are what you expect them to be when certain keys are pressed

[buoyant finch]

they do play just the currentFrame is not played

[verbal dome]

Show the results and don't delete the debug.logs from your code when you show it

[buoyant finch]

ok so in every direction the currentFrame is changed but in left the currentFrame is not changed @verbal dome

[astral falcon]

First go away of chaining if statements like you do. Get your input, set the booleans correctly with that input and then assign your frames correctly.

guys, need help with something

i got a couple of objects that i apply a variable called pointValue and i have the OnMouseDown function to destroy the game object i click in and add a point using a function from a singleton, however, i can't seem to understand how i'd make it so that the bad objects you can't click in doesn't subtract from your points? i've tried checking to see which was the tag of the object that activated the OnTriggerEnter function and it still made my player lose a point

not sure if i explained it correctly but i'll answer any questions

[frigid sequoia]

I am just feel I am superentangling a thing that should be supereasy

Just cause I am connecting so many scripts and I am not even sure why I am doing that

So my mind went totally Ploof

[astral falcon]

If you are not sure why you are doing something with your code, you def. gotta take a step back and write down your entire flow of data and method calls

[frigid sequoia]

Well, I know I have to split them cause else is gonna be a nightmare later, but not sure what I am gonna be adding later

[lilac hemlock]

Can someone help me please? My unit has a rigid body and a collider. My terrain has a terrain collider. Howeever, my unit goes through the terrain.

[wintry quarry]

Show the inspectors of both objects

[frigid sequoia]

Like rn, main issue is I have an EnemyAggro that should be telling who should this be focusing as a target, then I have the GeneralistAbilityManager, that tells with what should be using on that target (this should be a superclass and be different for each one later on, but rn, they only do the basicAttack). But the thing is, I need the NavMeshTargetSetter to have a target for the NavMeshAgent to tell it where should it be standing, which is not the same as where should it be focusing UNLESS they have no actual explicitly assigned Waypoint, then it's pretty much the same and it would try to stay at the point that need less movement and it's within range of whatever ability it's using....

This amount of abstracts references is kinda melting my mind....

[buoyant finch]

I figured out the problem my run button had a negative parameter of left which caused the issue

[wintry quarry]

your rigidbody is kinematic

that mens you're controlling the movement entirely through script
and that colliders are not going to stop it.

[fiery plume]

im trying to make a walljumping script and it works. but if im holding the same direction of movement against the wall that im jump off. then it cancels the wall jump after 1 frame. can someone help me fix this.

[lilac hemlock]

yes, that's right

[wintry quarry]

If you want collision you'd need to be using a dynamic Rigidbody

(non kinematic)

,with a kinematic body you'll need to handle collision yourself with BoxCasts

[verbal dome]

What did you learn from this

[lilac hemlock]

okay, thanks, will research it

[cosmic dagger]

you should cancel movement or don't track/store it while wall jumping to avoid it from overriding the wall jump . . .

[buoyant finch]

sometimes some small things cause big problems

[verbal dome]

Well that too but mostly that you should just confirm that your values (input in this case) is exactly what you expect it to be

[ocean loom]

Hey, just wondering, how could i add an audio proximity feature to my 2D game. So for example, when im near a game object, then a sound starts to play louder, and whenever i move away, its gets quieter and then silent

[wintry quarry]

use a trigger collider

[fiery plume]

i believe im already doing that with this in my fixed update and this on my walljump

[ocean loom]

but that would just work for when i trigger the collider, but not when im closer the louder it gets no?

[wintry quarry]

the trigger collider is for detecting when you enter and exit the zone

while you are in the zone you would check the distance to the thing each frame

although now that we're discussing it

you don't need any of this really

as what you are describing is the built-in behavior of the AudioSource component

See how you can configure the volume falloff and everything

one thing you might still want a trigger for is if you want to specifically start the sound when the player gets to a certain distance.

[charred spoke]

Thats a spicy volume curve

What’s the use case I wonder ?

[wintry quarry]

Simulating a some kind of hyperbolic geometrically shaped room that has perfect resonance zones where the sound waves get reinforced perfectly?

idk lol

or sound in non-euclidean space?

[charred spoke]

Oh I thought it was from something you are making

[wintry quarry]

no it's the example screenshot from Unity docs lol

https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/class-AudioSource.html

[charred spoke]

Kekl

[wintry quarry]

The use case is really "look you can do all kinds of crazy things with the AnimationCurve!"

[charred spoke]

Hey boss does this curve look ok to you

Lgtm ship it lad

[ocean loom]

ahhh okayy Thank you very much, I think i wanna use the trigger collider anyways, because its for a school project, and i need to discuss the code so it would be easier that way rather than using an inbuilt feature.

[fiery plume]

im trying to make a walljumping script and it works. but if im holding the same direction of movement against the wall that im jump off. then it cancels the wall jump after 1 frame

ive tried debug.log on all the numbers in the calculation of the jump both when the jump fails and when it succeeds and the numbers are the same
i have it set currently in my fixed update that the player should only be allowed to move when im not walljumping through a boolean that activates as soon as i press jump while on a wall.

I am confused as to what is causing this.

[verbal dome]

You need to show your code

[fiery plume]

https://paste.mod.gg/fvodixwbqykl/0

152-196 should be the important part

[astral falcon]

Where does it cancel it?

[fiery plume]

if im pressing wall jump while holding in the same direction as the wall it doesnt cancel it entirely but instead of sending me away from the wall like its supposed to it just sends me straight up.

[verbal dome]

same direction as the wall
So into or out of the wall?

[bitter apex]

I'm trying to use OverlapSphere to detect if there is a GameObject where my cursor is hovering. all of the GameObjects in question have colliders, but it is not detecting any colliders

[astral falcon]

I do not see any debug.logs on the important parts. So you should check your if statements and be sure, your directino is correct and not in the wrong one so forces try to push you in that direction (against the wall) resulting in up pushes

[verbal dome]

directino
I read this in an italian accent

[astral falcon]

show your !code 🙂

It's only reaching the first Debug.Log() where intersecting.Length == 0.

[fiery plume]

if im moving into the wall

[astral falcon]

Do you maybe hit "yourself" and deleting the object holding this script?

[fiery plume]

Ive removed them after testing but the direction is correct even when the jump just sends me up

[bitter apex]

nope

the GameObjects are all in the same layer and stuff as well

[astral falcon]

So you are not logging, what you hitting and not logging the length. Are you sure your length is > 1?

[bitter apex]

that's my point, i'm logging the length and i'm getting 0, it doesn't seem to be colliding with anything

[fiery plume]

what i think is happening is that when i jump it decides to jump for 1 fram and then the input of movement happens after that somehow before its been told its not allowed to move and therefore cancels the horizontal movement aspect of the jump but not the vertical aspect. But i dont know why

[bitter apex]

or if it is, it's not in the array

which doesn't make sense

[astral falcon]

ohhh, so you never get the debug.log from the if loop, but only the length before that? Misunderstood that for sure

[bitter apex]

yes

[astral falcon]

so you might be overriding your movement with the default movement again?

[bitter apex]

the loop isn't running because it's not detecting any colliders, and i have no idea why

[fiery plume]

yes i think so but i dont know why

[astral falcon]

do you check with some debug.draw spehres or lines that your position and radius are correct to hit somethign at all?

[bitter apex]

my game is 2d, could this be a problem?

I haven't tried that, I'll do that now, but i'm just checking if my cursor is hovering over a GameObject in a 2d plane

[astral falcon]

ohhh 😄

if you want to use physics in 2d, stick to physics2d 🙂 https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.0/Documentation/ScriptReference/Physics2D.OverlapCircle.html

https://unity.huh.how

[bitter apex]

oh my

[astral falcon]

cause you set it every fixed frame back to input

 if (!isWallJumping)
        {
            rb.velocity = new Vector2(horizontal * speed, rb.velocity.y);
        }

[daring oasis]

Hey i have a question what is damping and what are its uses? i keep seeing linear damping angular damping and i dont know what those are

[astral falcon]

On rigidbodies?

[fiery plume]

but as soon as the wall jump occurs isWallJumping is set to true which means the inputs shouldnt be allowed until the wall jump is finished? or am i misunderstanding.

[ivory bobcat]

Use: Moves a value towards another without overshooting (smoothdamp that is)
Example: https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.0/Documentation/ScriptReference/Vector3.SmoothDamp.html

[daring oasis]

yes

[bitter apex]

i didn't even realise this was a thing, so thank you for that. Although it still doesn't work 😢, it's still not detecting any GameObjects

[astral falcon]

Be sure to use the right colliders and collider components. they all have 2D

and Collider2D does not inherit from Collider, so your check has to be right to return the correct array type

[astral falcon]

https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.1/Documentation/ScriptReference/Rigidbody-linearDamping.html ?

[daring oasis]

but why would you use damping instead of just decreasing the value over time with a while or smth like that , what are the advantages

[astral falcon]

decrease what value? The damping takes into account the physics system.

[daring oasis]

oh ok thanks

[verbal dome]

You could do it manually by modifying the velocity each fixedupdate

Using linearDamping is convenient in most situtations though

[verbal dome]

Show your current code

[fiery plume]

is there another way i should be doing turning off the inputs temporarily?

[umbral siren]

hey i have a quick question. how do you rotate an object around a point in the scene view?

[verbal dome]

You could add a cooldown timer that starts when you walljump

When that timer is active, stop modifying movement velocity, or use AddForce if you want to mix the two

[fiery plume]

but isnt that kind of already what i did.

i use the boolean to turn off movement and then Im using the wallJumpingDuration as a cooldown timer that invokes a method that turns a boolean off

[verbal dome]

A dirty way is to add it as a child of a parent at that point and rotate the parent
Would be cool to have something like blender's 3D cursor in unity though

[umbral siren]

i tried to do that but the parent object changed its center to the center of the child object

[verbal dome]

I didn't read it thoroughly tbh, I'll take a look

[verbal dome]

Oh you need to make sure your gizmos are in Pivot not Center mode

[umbral siren]

oh thanks mate

[verbal dome]

Uhh what is bootsigil

It's hard to follow the logic here

[fiery plume]

its what allows me to choose if the player has unlocked the wall jump or not but in this case its always gonna be 4.

(if its set to 5 its a double jump if its 4 its wall jump etc)

[verbal dome]

Are you sure that you aren't entering wallsliding mode when it happens?

if (IsWalledL() && !IsGrounded() && horizontal != 0f) this could be still true shortly after walljumping, right?

[tribal wave]

what does csharp do { insert block of code }

mean?

like what "do"

[verbal dome]

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/language-reference/statements/iteration-statements#the-do-statement

[tribal wave]

ty

[verbal dome]

It's like a while loop that executes at least once before it checks the condition

[lilac hemlock]

Can someone give an advice please. I am making an arcade racing multiplayer game (similar to Star Wars Episode I: Racer). Is it better to use unity physics system (non kinematic rigid body) with collision or code collision myself?

[fiery plume]

i think ur right. but how do i word it then so that i leave wallsliding mode when i jump.

[bitter apex]

Thanks a lot for making me aware of all of that. I have sorted it all out now, I had to make it a world point too, now it's actually intersecting with things and works!!!!!!

[verbal dome]

You probably want to return early from the wallSliding method if isWallJumping is true

[fiery plume]

I tried something and it worked. Tyvm that was the issue.

[verbal dome]

For future: you would've noticed this yourself if you put logs in the code or used the debugger

[fiery plume]

ur right. i did put logs in the code but i didnt think wallslide had anything to do with the problem so thats why i put no logs there. its entirely my own fault for making that assumption though.

[static stag]

hey, does someone got a tip for me what term i should search to load tiles at runtime / game start ? My goal is to allow inserting new tiles and then use them in game. Maybe load a tsx file and then the png

[naive pawn]

why tsx?

[static stag]

just as example, i think its generated by Tiled

i searched for hours, but maybe i found smth : https://discussions.unity.com/t/run-through-a-folder-and-make-a-list-of-tilebase/935358

ofc after asking here

[night mural]

it sounds like you're looking to offer basic modding support, so you could look for resources on that

[static stag]

yea basically that 😄

[night mural]

basically you'd pick a place that you try to load user-tiles from and check there for any overrides

[static stag]

Resources.Load<TileBase>("Assets/Tiles/Sprites/" + tileSpriteName) i think thats the line i was looking for

so check for json files, parse them and then load the tiles based on json

[night mural]

I don't think these would be Resources since they're being included by your users, not as part of your build, right?

[static stag]

mhm true

[daring oasis]

what is a more begginer friendly way for an enemy to move twards the player without using pathfinding i tried watching a tutorial but all of that is way out of my league atm

[night mural]

you can just move naively towards the player's location but you will get stuck on stuff

[daring oasis]

yeah thats what i have now but that is the problem

it gets stuck

[night mural]

then you probably want some kind of pathfinding

anything else will end up pretty silly

you could try functioning how the robo-vacs without mapping do and bounce cleverly but unless your game is about fighting robo-vacs it's going to be weird

[daring oasis]

my game is just a square with a weapon that has to beat zombies and when the zombies spawn they have to fallow him

[night mural]

pathfinding with the nav mesh is about as simple as it gets so it's worth figuring that out

[daring oasis]

thanks i will try to undestand that

[static stag]

System.IO.Directory.GetCurrentDirectory() + "/GameData/"

Should do the trick

[umbral siren]

how do i make when the enemy dies, it will just drop and disappear while blinking in 3d

[timber tide]

We talking sprites?

ah I guess 3D is a give away, not that 2.5d sprites arent a thing

[umbral siren]

i have a 3d object (a capsule), when player shoots i want it to drop on the floor and disappear after blinking

[static stag]

okay i made a mistake. Resources.Load has the generic. I think passing the correct path wont work

[timber tide]

https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.0/Documentation/ScriptReference/Material.SetColor.html
So easiest way here is to just change the material property, but this would change it for all mesh's that use this same instance. It's actually a little technical so if you're new to Unity you may need to read up on materials and how shaders work.

[ivory bobcat]

Resource would imply it's in the resource folder, which users would not have access to? (a part of the build etc)
Perhaps you're wanting streamable assets or something.

[static stag]

https://docs.unity3d.com/530/Documentation/ScriptReference/Texture2D.LoadImage.html

found this

gonna try this

[umbral siren]

i cant figure out how i can drop it. i tried using animation but this doesn't work. when enemy starts to fall then immediately stands up.

[timber tide]

what you can do is add some physics to it and let unity handle it by throwing on a rigidbody and de-parenting it from your player

[umbral siren]

its kind of getting over my head as i am using nav agent

[timber tide]

oh, if the animation is reseting then make sure your blend tree isn't exiting that animation when it completes

Both ways are fine, but the physics idea is more for like a ragdoll effect if you wanted that, otherwise if you can pinpoint where the problem may be in the animation. I can probably help otherwise #🏃┃animation is probably the place to post screen shots of the blend tree if that's the problem

[brittle isle]

Trying to wrap my head around Animal Buddies from DKC, to barely any success

I'm trying to implement rideable things in my platformer, akin to Yoshi and the Animal buddies from DKC.

The first idea was hopping on it and letting the player's script determine the basics of how it moves on land. but since so much of my movement script would be deactivated, i'm struggling to come up with a plan b

[static stag]

@night mural

public TileBase LoadTile(string path)
        {
            var fileData = File.ReadAllBytes(_basePath+"/Game/Data/Tiles/" + path);
            var tex = new Texture2D(2, 2);
            tex.LoadImage(fileData);
            var sprite = Sprite.Create(tex, new Rect(0, 0, tex.width, tex.height), new Vector2(0.5f, 0.5f));
            Tile tempTile = ScriptableObject.CreateInstance(typeof(Tile)) as Tile;
            tempTile.sprite = sprite;
            return tempTile;
        }

is working so far 😄 need some optimization but good to go for the moment

[bright zodiac]

us Path.Combine instead

[quick pollen]

        float pingpongValue = Mathf.PingPong(Time.time * rotationSpeed, anglesToCheck) - (anglesToCheck / 2);   
        cannon.transform.rotation = Quaternion.LookRotation(transform.forward * visionLength + (Vector3.forward * pingpongValue));```

so I have this code for making the enemy basically look left and right constantly

rotationSpeed, anglesToCheck and visionLength are set through the inspector, for the upcoming example
rotationSpeed is 30
anglesToCheck is 30
visionLength is 3

is there a better way to do this?

[frosty hound]

Do what, implementing it? If it works, then it works.

If you mean designing enemies, you can use SOs and define the properties on it, and use that instead.

[quick pollen]

it semi works, meaning that it completely ignores the anglesToCheck limit

which isn't intended

I just want it to rotate back and forth rotationSpeed degrees in an anglesToCheck cone

[swift crag]

The calculation in LookRotation doesn't make any sense. You are multiplying a world +Z vector with pingpongValue, which gives you a...longer +Z vector

transform.forward * visionLength also doesn't make sense

You should compute a rotation and then apply that to your original forward direction

e.g.

Quaternion.AngleAxis(pingpongValue, transform.up) * transform.forward;

[quick pollen]

pingpongValue is a number between [-(anglesToCheck/2), (anglesToCheck/2)]

[swift crag]

this rotates your original forward vector around your up vector

[quick pollen]

so if anglesToCheck is 30, pingpongValue is a number between [-15, 15]

[swift crag]

yes, I understand that -- the resulting math still makes no sense

you are adding together two vectors and then using the resulting direction to compute a rotation

[quick pollen]

why transform.up?

don't you need a Quaternion for AngleAxis?

[swift crag]

no, it computes a Quaternion from an angle and an axis

hence the name

I presume that the turret rotates around the tank's up vector

[quick pollen]

well uhh

[quick pollen]

yes

[swift crag]

you can set cannon.transform.forward to the resulting direction

alternatively, you can combine that angleaxis rotation with another rotation

[quick pollen]

oh, wait

[swift crag]

cannon.transform.forward = Quaternion.AngleAxis(pingpongValue, transform.up) * transform.forward;
cannon.transform.rotation = Quaternion.AngleAxis(pingpongValue, transform.up) * transform.rotation;

Both of these would work.

[quick pollen]

i completely forgot about the fact that transform.forward can be set .-.

[quick pollen]

that works, thank you very much!

[swift crag]

Personally, I would go with the second one. That will make sure the turret is rolled correctly

[quick pollen]

I feel silly that I've been using quaternions and such for so long and I still struggle with simple up and down movements :/

[swift crag]

there's less information in a direction than there is in a whole rotation

[quick pollen]

well I don't even want to give the code the chance to rotate the cannon on any axises other than y

[true owl]

so i've followed this logic where I've created 2 triggers for each side of the character to determine what wall they're touching

using UnityEngine;

public class WallJump : MonoBehaviour
{

    Rigidbody2D parentRb;
    bool isTouchingWall = false;
    // Start is called once before the first execution of Update after the MonoBehaviour is created
    void Start()
    {
        parentRb = transform.parent.GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>();
    }

    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update()
    {
        /* while touching wall, if holding a direction opposite to the current object
            then start wall slide logic
            */



    }

    void OnCollisionEnter2D(Collision other)
    {
        isTouchingWall = true;
    }

    void OnCollisionExit2D(Collision other)
    {
        isTouchingWall = false;
    }
}

now i'm confused if I'm gonna apply this script to both of the child objects how would i know which one i'm currently on

or would i need to make 2 separate scripts?

[quick pollen]

how would you know which side is currently touching the wall?

[true owl]

i meant like

[quick pollen]

is that the question?

[true owl]

i have 2 triggers on each side

i'm not sure if i use that script how would i know which trigger i'm using

my structure is a parent object with 2 separate game objects as children and each has a trigger

one for left and one for right

[quick pollen]

to be fair

you could use some super mario bros logic

[true owl]

wym

[quick pollen]

would there be any way for the character to be touching a wall on the left, if the character is moving toward the right?

[true owl]

i guess

that's true

[verbal dome]

If you put a script on each of those children, does OnTriggerEnter2D get called on the child? I forget how it works in 2D

[quick pollen]

if you are certain that this cant happen, you can just use a single trigger, and check the velocity of the player

if the velocity is facing the left, you are touching a wall on your left

[true owl]

well no

[quick pollen]

if the velocity is facing the right, you are touching a wall on the right

[true owl]

i want the logic to be the wall slide

oh wait

i see what ur saying

[quick pollen]

this works with the wall slide

basically

if you are going left

you are touching a wall's right side

[true owl]

that makes sense

[quick pollen]

and vice versa

[verbal dome]

I dont think velocity is reliable since you might have already collided with the wall and bounced back

Or stopped

[true owl]

i believe that's how it works

[verbal dome]

If that's the case then you can try that

[quick pollen]

you could just make the trigger slightly bigger to counteract that no?

[true owl]

yeah that's what im doing i'm just saying

[verbal dome]

Another common way is to do physics queries like OverlapBox/OverlapCircle

[true owl]

how would i differentiate which trigger is the one that actually is it

[quick pollen]

could do that instead of a trigger yeah

[quick pollen]

you could just ditch the triggers entirely and do what osmal said, use overlapboxes

[true owl]

i'll have to look into it, is there any advantage?

[rocky canyon]

overlapbox's and spheres are solid for the purpose

Circles rather

[quick pollen]

you would know exactly which one is colliding with a wall

also yeah, circles are generally nicer

[rocky canyon]

can u use layermasks w/ those? im pretty sure u can..

[quick pollen]

you can, yeah

[rocky canyon]

id just mask out my player and have 1 on each side

[quick pollen]

so you can make a layermask which only collides with walls

so you cant walljump/wallslide off of, say, enemies

[true owl]

i've set up my layers properly with a wall layer

so that won't be happening

[quick pollen]

basically

      Wallslide Right
  else if (OverlapCircleOnLeft == wall)
      Wallslide left```

this isnt how OverlapCircle works ofc

it just returns to you an array of colliders

you can look through that array and see if there are any walls in there

[true owl]

i'm confused so overlap circle is added to every single wall in the game and it checks if the player is currently colliding with it?

[quick pollen]

no

basically

you draw a circle around the player

or, in this case, on the left and on the right of the player

and if the circle overlaps with a wall, then use wallsliding logic

there are other ways of doing this wallsliding too, now that I think about it

but I won't confuse you any more

[true owl]

I'm sorry if I'm not understanding but isn't this basically the same as the triggers? I set up one on each side and if it overlaps I do the wallslide logic

[quick pollen]

basically, yeah

OverlapCircle returns an array of Colliders that are inside of it's radius

[true owl]

oh interesting

[rocky canyon]

yea, https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.0/Documentation/ScriptReference/Physics2D.OverlapCircle.html

[verbal dome]

You don't add it to anything, it's a method you would call

[quick pollen]

you just need to check if any of the colliders is a wall

[verbal dome]

Similiar to raycast if you are familiar with that

[true owl]

I am not

[true owl]

Got it

[quick pollen]

raycast basically draws a line in a direction, and tells you what it hit

[true owl]

oh wow

[quick pollen]

basically imagine it for like guns

[true owl]

ah so you shoot the bullet and see if it hit anything

[rocky canyon]

hit-scan vs rigidbody projectiles

[quick pollen]

well, you check if there is a target in front of the weapon's barrel

[rocky canyon]

well it draws a ray a direction * distance... and returns true or false.. if true u can dig deeper and get the RaycastHit variable back from it

w/ all the info on the hit, position, what it was etc

[true owl]

intereting

well I think i'll look into it deeper when I need to

[rocky canyon]

just remember theres 2 variants..

[quick pollen]

personally I use raycasts in my game

[rocky canyon]

theres Raycast.. and Raycast2D

[true owl]

for now I might just stick with the triggers i have cause I think the OverlapCircle might be overkill

[quick pollen]

those green lines

[true owl]

interesting

[quick pollen]

I basically check if the rays ever touch the player

in which case I make the enemy attack

[true owl]

smart

[quick pollen]

actually, @rocky canyon, is overlapsphere or a raycastcommand more efficient?

[naive pawn]

are there gonna be multiple players?

why not just reference the player and check the distance?

• a raycast to check line of sight

[quick pollen]

nope

[quick pollen]

thatd work too

I dunno, I've seen this method used way more

plus it was a nice way for me to learn about jobs and raycastcommands

[rocky canyon]

raycast legit.. I think raycasts are more performant..

but i think u could also make overlaps pretty close.. using the Non-Alloc version

[quick pollen]

oh yeah, I know why actually

[rocky canyon]

and having a pre-existing array or something to hold the contacts

or w/e

[quick pollen]

you use raycastcommands for cones of vision

but for me it doesnt make much sense to use raycastcommands because I check in a circle

[rocky canyon]

ya totally.. use w/e u feel comfortable with

[quick pollen]

I guess theres the option for me to use cones of vision at any point tho

[frigid sequoia]

This should be executing or am I doing something wrong?

[quick pollen]

I mean, for me this is a school project, so its w/e

I like the way I made my enemy AI code because everything is customizable

[naive pawn]

well, debug the values you're checking

[quick pollen]

searching, chasing, dodging, firing

@true owl the topic got a bit off track, I hope u understand what u need to do

if u need further specifications, just ask :)

[true owl]

yeah i got it, i'm using the circle overlaps

much appreciated

[frigid sequoia]

Oh, okay, I know what I am doing wrong

[quick pollen]

quick tweak, I made it so the tanks can have varying angles of vision, so using raycastcommands makes more sense

good call on this actually Chris, ty!

[frigid sequoia]

How do I... get a list of all child gameObjects that contain a specific script?

[polar acorn]

GetComponentsInChildren<ThatScript>

Note that this also includes the object itself, if that object has the script on it

[rocky canyon]

soooo many raycasts 😄

i like the way it makes those cool grid/wavy scanlines

[frigid sequoia]

So that does a return a List already?

[rocky canyon]

(s) makes me believe its a collection of some sort yes

[naive pawn]

no it returns an array

[rocky canyon]

https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.0/Documentation/ScriptReference/Component.GetComponentsInChildren.html

[quick pollen]

forgot to reduce the amount after changing the angle xD

[frigid sequoia]

Mmmmm.... I was setting everything with Lists....

[rocky canyon]

using UnityEngine;
public class GetComponentsInChildrenExample : MonoBehaviour
{
    public Component[] hingeJoints;
    void Start()
    {
        hingeJoints = GetComponentsInChildren<HingeJoint>();
        foreach (HingeJoint joint in hingeJoints)
            joint.useSpring = false;
    }
}```

[quick pollen]

its funny because I could have like 50 tanks using 100 raycasts every frame and I still wouldn't have much performance issues

[naive pawn]

(fwiw you could also check the angle with the player, but this probably lets you do more complex ai 👍)

[rocky canyon]

i use a custom tick-rate for mine..

every (x) amount of seconds it fires off a ray

[quick pollen]

and if I do, I can just reduce the amount of checks per second

[quick pollen]

I can do that too, yeah

tho thats still scary cuz of lag spikes

[rocky canyon]

its a "Thinking Rate" for my enemies

a bit of delay makes it feel organic..

[quick pollen]

so I also have a function to smear the calculations out over x seconds

so I dont have 30 checks happening in one frame, rather over x amount of frames

[quick pollen]

maybe, but that maths sounds abit more complicated

[naive pawn]

not really, there's built-in functions for it

[quick pollen]

uhh, whoopsie

bye bye bitrate

[naive pawn]

fuckin flashbang, dude

[rocky canyon]

lol.. this is beautiful

[timber tide]

who needs overlap sphere when you got overlap lattice

[quick pollen]

overlap world

[rocky canyon]

now draw a wiresphere everywhere two rays intersect 😉

[quick pollen]

...you can do that? i thought rays cant hit each other

[rocky canyon]

u'd need some custom maths

[quick pollen]

also, this is just my debug rays being fucked

I'm trying to fix the angle, but i cant

[frigid sequoia]

I am assuming that the array does get the components in descending order on the hierarchy?

[rocky canyon]

what angle?

[rocky canyon]

i think it may be distance related.. like first come first serve

but that i dont know tbh

[naive pawn]

components aren't guaranteed an order

not sure if that still holds over multiple gameobjects though

[rocky canyon]

ya ^ thas what i was thinkin

do a few tests and let us know

[quick pollen]

it starts checking from transform.forward, but I want it to check from transform.forward - (scanAngle/2)

basically rotate the cone (scanAngle/2) degrees

im just way too cooked mentally to do quaternion maths rn

[frigid sequoia]

Like the ListOfEntities is supposed to store the reference to each entity present, so basically has a list for Enemies, Players and Waypoints, and I want the script for it to take each of the parent GameObjects and take the script of each of the entities inside them, since, basically all of them have the script I am looking for

[left sail]

hello, I would like to understand why I have a capsule even though I never asked for it

[rocky canyon]

do u have a CharacterController?

[naive pawn]

you could do that to prioritize stuff directly in front

It's not a Bug, it's a Feature!

[rocky canyon]

the ship gif i sent i have my raycasts start by using spacing between the rays and the number of rays i want.. and then it auto-centers..

[left sail]

me ?

[rocky canyon]

not sure the code i use to do that.. but when i find it ill ping u

yes. u

[quick pollen]

thats the thing, it ignores half of what's in front of it

[rocky canyon]

yea... thats why

[naive pawn]

the capsule is from the charactercontroller

[rocky canyon]

a CharacterController has a capsule collider built in..

[naive pawn]

just make 2 loops to check the right side then the left side

[polar acorn]

Technically, CharacterController is a Capsule Collider

[rocky canyon]

yea there ya go ^

[left sail]

ah ok so how do I remove the capsule?

[rocky canyon]

remove the Character Controller?

[quick pollen]

thats not the issue, but i figured it out

[rocky canyon]

u can't have a character controller w/o a capsule collider.. like digiholic said..

its one of the same

if u dont wanna see the gizmo. just collapse the Component

[naive pawn]

you can turn off the gizmo, if that's what you're asking?

[rich ice]

is that really more efficient than using something like overlap sphere?

[polar acorn]

Remove the CharacterController

[quick pollen]

well I use a raycastcommand, so maybe it is, idk

[polar acorn]

Chances are you need that though

[left sail]

well basically I want it to be the same size as the human

[quick pollen]

you can change it's height and width

[rocky canyon]

ezpz lol

[polar acorn]

Then you'll need to adjust the properties on the charactercontroller until it is. Change the center, radius and height until it's what you want

[rocky canyon]

or position the graphics (ur model) to be centered to the capsule (as it is)..

b/c it'll start properly centered

[left sail]

I see what I can do

[rocky canyon]

2 unity units = 6 foot 5 inches

[quick pollen]

we flexing rn? xD

[rocky canyon]

nah, my rooms already warm enough 😛

[rocky canyon]

oh yea, cool.. u already have an interval built in.. timebetwenscans

awesome.. mines a singleton "TickManager" i call events from.. then first the ray off b/c its listening

[quick pollen]

yeah, i think i mentioned it

[rocky canyon]

same concept

[left sail]

thank you (I'm a beginner, that's why I'm struggling)

[rocky canyon]

gotta learn somehow 💪

[quick pollen]

thats cool tho

probably more efficient than my method

[verbal dome]

You realize most of these rays are useless, if this is for vision

Normally you'd do an angle check to see if the target is in the view cone, and if it is, cast a ray to check for obstructions

[quick pollen]

well, yeah, I could optimize it further by checking for distance

[timber tide]

pretty tho

[quick pollen]

I know, but this is for a school project, so I'm not going for 100% optimization

I mainly did this to learn about raycasts

also, I see a lot of people do it this way, even though your method makes way more sense

[timber tide]

I usually do like sphere then calculate angle then raycast for obstruction

[quick pollen]

if theres only one player, you can also just check the distance between it and the player

so no need for spheres

[timber tide]

yeah true

[knotty quail]

I have a character, what is better to use, aggregation or composition?
Why is everything so easy and difficult at the same time?

[burnt vapor]

I feel like this depends on what it is you do. Some people swear by Association/Composition but not everything works well by just doing it this way. It really depends on your use case

In the end it's a combination of all of them

[icy sluice]

is Time.deltaTime supposed to increese?

[polar acorn]

It is the amount of time in seconds the last frame took to render. It'll fluctuate often as your framerate changes

[icy sluice]

tnx, so im the one wrong and not unity to blame

[timber tide]

Abstraction layer and minimal inheritance, then focus on composition

[echo kite]

whats difference between private void update and void update

[timber tide]

nothing just you dont need to type it (but I do anyway)

[burnt vapor]

No accessor implicitly implies private

So nothing

[naive pawn]

(access modifier)

[burnt vapor]

access modifier, yes

accessor is something else, oops

[polar acorn]

You shouldn't

[swift crag]

yeah, you can't find the "other" collider in a trigger message

You'll want to put them on separate game objects

[polar acorn]

Multiple colliders of the same type on the same object should basically be considered the same. If they do anything different, they need to be on different objects

[slender nymph]

seems like a usecase for physics queries rather than individual colliders

why

[polar acorn]

How it works:
The Rigidbody involved in the collision will detect when it collides with a collider. It will then call OnTrigger on every component on itself, then every component on the object with the collider it hit.

So, you'd need a script on each thing with the collider on it that handles its own case

Yes. Assuming the rigidbody is the one moving into these, rather than these being children of the rigidbody that moves

[slender nymph]

i'm pretty sure trigger messages are sent to the object with the trigger collider on it if they are a child of a rigidbody

[swift crag]

I forget which way it goes, but either collider or trigger messages don't get sent to components on the same collider

[rocky canyon]

u can't really do that.. and single out individual colliders

[slender nymph]

but this still 100% seems like a usecase for physics queries rather than relying on trigger messages. of course they won't say why they want to use physics messages

[swift crag]

It's one or the other

[slender nymph]

pretty sure it's OnCollision messages that don't get sent to the child collider

[polar acorn]

If you just need to detect when you stop colliding with something you can just run the physics query in update and see when it returns a different result

[rocky canyon]

i always build a simple test script when dealing with these type issues..
by testing out the messages w/ multiple objects and different hierachy setups it can really solidify understanding how they interact

[slender nymph]

for what purpose

[polar acorn]

Maybe? Unsure what you specifically need

[rocky canyon]

ya, lets hear the use-case for this

[slender nymph]

please explain what you are actually trying to accomplish

and i don't mean some vague abstract description of what you think you want, explain what you are actually trying to do with this
https://xyproblem.info

[rocky canyon]

I want to: ___ for the reason of: ___ would be most helpful

oh lord..

[polar acorn]

If you literally just want to know what objects are within range once per frame, OverlapSphere

[swift crag]

It sounds like they're detecting when an interactable object gets in range.

[rocky canyon]

^ im itching that direction as well

[swift crag]

It does sound reasonable to just use trigger messages to notice when they enter and exit your interaction range

these are implementation details; you need to explain the actual gameplay you are creating

note that if you only react to the OnTriggerEnter/OnTriggerExit messages, you'll need to keep a list of interactable objects that are currently in range

six of one, half a dozen of the other (:

[polar acorn]

Okay, so if you want to know if the player is within range of the interactable, why not put the larger trigger collider on the interactable, and have them check if they're within range of the player?

You can still use a normal collider to detect when you collide with the object directly

[rocky canyon]

i think i remember now.. were u asking about the WorldSpace UI the other day for pickups?

[polar acorn]

Decentralized is kind of the goal though

[swift crag]

uh oh

[polar acorn]

Each thing should take care of its own functionality

Then you can do that, probably with OverlapSphere

[swift crag]

oh, okay, not the worst: but I would rather use a Dictionary<Interactable, InteractionPrompt>. you'd have an Interactable component that represents a thing you can interact with, and you'd have an InteractionPrompt component that handles showing the name, image, etc. for an Interactable

[frigid sequoia]

Ok, I am freaking becoming crazy, this says that those Lists are never read. They are supposed to get a copy of the data of another script (ListOfEntities) and this one does show to gather the List data properly, but then, when passing it, it's empty? What am I doing wrong? I don't get it

[polar acorn]

Then you can do that, by putting scripts on the interactable objects

[polar acorn]

[swift crag]

please share a paste of the entire script, rather than a screenshot of most of it

[swift crag]

i suspect you two are envisioning completely different systems right now

[polar acorn]

Pretty sure the = new List< stuff is gonna get run on Start since it's in the constructors, even though those are serialized fields? Try removing them

[swift crag]

the field initializers execute before Unity even deserializes anything

I see no reason to do this!

Make small components. Put them where they're needed.

[polar acorn]

Okay, so that wouldn't be it. Second guess is that the Get___ functions are clearing them and finding nothing

[polar acorn]

The most common source of project disorganization is having too few scripts, not too many

The more scripts you have, the better

[rocky canyon]

SingleResponsibilityOLID

[frigid sequoia]

So... do I not initialize the Lists?

[polar acorn]

I was mistaken about the order, this is likely not the problem after all

[frigid sequoia]

Cause the List I get from that ListOfEntities is actually accurate

[polar acorn]

Put logs in your Get___ functions where you clear the lists, see if they find anything

[frigid sequoia]

It's just not passing it correctly and I don't know why

[swift crag]

I don't really understand what your problem is here.

Is the problem that these lists are empty after starting the game, when you expected them to be non-empty?

[frigid sequoia]

These 2 Lists should match, they don't

[swift crag]

Do you have more than one "List Of Entities" component?

[frigid sequoia]

Nope

[polar acorn]

Oh wait, these are different components, just with variables of the same name?

[frigid sequoia]

The whole reason to have that is so I don't have to create a whole List anew for each entity, so it only happens one isntead

[swift crag]

You are replacing the reference that you assigned in the inspector, which is suspicious.

[polar acorn]

If the purpose of these variables on NavMeshTargetSetter is to always reflect the values in ListOfEntities, why not just cut out the middleman and use the lists from ListOfEntities?

[swift crag]

As I said: Make small components and put them where they're needed.

You'll create an InteractableDetector component on "Collider Interact". Its sole job will be to tell a component on the Player when things go in and out of range

[frigid sequoia]

It basically is

[noble forum]

Hi, my card game object is being destoyed on play, but i have no idea why. How can i see what destroys it?

[swift crag]

You can log something in OnDestroy

then look at the stack trace for that log entry

That will give you a hint, at least

[frigid sequoia]

It's weird

Cause the Waypoints do pass correctly

[swift crag]

The latter is a way to achieve the former.

[polar acorn]

So, why have a local copy? Just use the lists from the ListOfEntities

[frigid sequoia]

But that's pretty much waht I am doing

They just have a variable for that

So I can tell if they are passed correctly

[swift crag]

did you verify that any of your code is actually running

[swift crag]

i would also still suggest getting rid of that FindFirstObjectByType call and seeing if the result changes.

[polar acorn]

No, it's not, you're creating a second variable that's meant to be a copy of another one. Just use the first variable

[noble forum]

    System.Diagnostics.StackTrace stackTrace = new System.Diagnostics.StackTrace();
    string scriptName = "Unknown Script";

    if (stackTrace.FrameCount > 1) {
        var frame = stackTrace.GetFrame(1);    var method = frame.GetMethod();
        scriptName = $"{method.DeclaringType?.Name}.{method.Name}";
    }

    Debug.Log($"{gameObject.name} was destroyed by {scriptName}!");
}```
i tried something like that, it was destroyed by uknown script

Any other way?

[swift crag]

I may know what's going on here.

You're sharing a reference to the same list that ListOfEntities is holding

But Unity's serializer doesn't really care about that.

I actually don't know how it handles that situation...

[polar acorn]

I mean, you're literally setting the script name to Unknown Script. Just do a normal log in OnDestroy, then look at the stack trace in Unity

[swift crag]

It's meant to find the type name of the method

but yes, just look at the stack trace :p

Note that there won't be much of interest if it's a delayed Destroy call

[frigid sequoia]

It wouldn't change the result, like, it's pretty much just placing and extra "=" sign

[tribal wave]

im very new, is there a way to tell if a gameobject has moved up by like 5? Like if it goes up by 5 then itll do something

[frigid sequoia]

What do u mean?

[polar acorn]

It would change things, because if you just use the variable directly then you cannot possibly have an ordering problem

Have a single source of truth. Use that.

Don't copy a bunch of data around and just hope you kept track properly

[swift crag]

oh, yes, I see your ordering problem

this creates a new list

NavMeshTargetSetter is holding a reference to the original list

which was cleared and then thrown out

[swift crag]

That's definitely not it -- I was wondering if displaying the component in the inspector was causing a new list to be created.

Anyone that grabs possibleEnemyTargets before ListOfEntities.Start() executes will wind up with references to the original list object

[frigid sequoia]

But this only runs at the Start of the ListOfEntities, right?

Should not cause an issue later

[swift crag]

well, yes, but it's too late

the issue has already been caused!

[frigid sequoia]

So are u saying this is sending the List AFTER the clear, but before refreshing it??????

[swift crag]

No.

List<int> foo = new();
List<int> bar = foo;
foo = new();
foo.Add(1);

bar contains a reference to an empty list.

[polar acorn]

You know what could solve this?

Just not having two lists

[swift crag]

NavMeshTargetSetter is having its Start method called before ListOfEntities.

Therefore, it is getting a reference to the list that ListOfEntities starts out with.

ListOfEntities throws this list out and creates a new one.

[polar acorn]

You have a reference to the listOfEntities. Just do listOfEntities.possibleEnemyTargets

[frigid sequoia]

Then how the fuck am i getting the Waypoints?

[swift crag]

because you don't throw the original list out

you just clear it and then add things to it again

[frigid sequoia]

So why would that be different than replacing it for a new one?

[swift crag]

because it's the same list

[swift crag]

Do you not understand why bar contains an empty list in this example?

as compared to this example

List<int> foo = new();
List<int> bar = foo;
foo.Clear();
foo.Add(1);

[polar acorn]

If your hamster dies when you're away at summer camp and your parents buy a new one, it's still not the same hamster, even though it's in the same cage

[swift crag]

where both foo and bar contain a reference to a list with a single number in it

[noble forum]

From what i understand it points at the line in the script AFTER destoy method, which doesnt make any sense

[quick pollen]

one hell of a message to join in to

lmao

[frigid sequoia]

Oh, wait

Am I doing that?

I may

[polar acorn]

yes

[swift crag]

You're doing both.

[polar acorn]

Which is why you shouldn't have a second variable that is meant to hold the same data

[swift crag]

In some places, you are creating an entirely new list. In other places, you are inserting items into the original list.

If you want to add a bunch of things to an existing list, use AddRange

But yes: I see no reason to add this layer of indirection

[noble forum]

  at Draw.OnDestroy () [0x0003f] in E:\Tarot Chess — kopia\Assets\Scripts\Cards\Draw.cs:38 ```

[verbal dome]

You are accessing gameObject.name when gameObject is null

That's line 38

Or wait what's the issue

[noble forum]

It is so confusing... I mean i just play a card and it seems to be deleted when it was supposed to change parent

[quick pollen]

how do you change parent?

[noble forum]

   {
       if (playedCard != null)
       {
           // Transport the card to the graveyard
           MoveCardToGraveyard(playedCard);
       }
       else
       {
           Debug.LogWarning("Played card is null.");
       }
   }

   private void MoveCardToGraveyard(Transform card)
   {
       if (graveyard.Contains(card))
       {
           Debug.LogWarning($"Card {card.name} is in graveyard.");
           return;
       }

       card.SetParent(graveyardObject.transform, false);
       card.gameObject.SetActive(false);
       graveyard.Add(card);

       Debug.Log($"Card {card.name} moved to graveyard.");
   }```

[quick pollen]

are you sure that the issue is that it gets destroyed, not that it gets deactivated?

thats my best bet

also, not entirely sure, but you might want to move the object to the graveyard before disabling it

waitt

[noble forum]

I cannot find it anywhere by search

[quick pollen]

card.SetParent(graveyardObject.transform, false);

[frigid sequoia]

Actually there may come the case where the List of all Entities is not the same that those the entity has access to as targets

But ya

[quick pollen]

what does your hierarchy look like?

[rocky canyon]

https://paste.myst.rs/uta0c8xz
something simple like this might get the job done..
u'd need a bit extra logic ofc.. (for example having two interactables close enough that the script would trigger twice)
but the basics are there..

To interact w/ a script you only need a reference to said script.. and public variables and/or public methods

[quick pollen]

not that hierarchy

[noble forum]

So what do you mean?

[quick pollen]

where your objects are

[rocky canyon]

im not involved in w/e u guys conversation is.. i was talkin to Vengeful

the objects im interacting w/ are these if u were askin about me lol

[quick pollen]

I know, I just needed a screenshot of a hierarchy

[rocky canyon]

OHH okay i see

[quick pollen]

u just happened to post a vid with the hierarchy xd

my bad for the confusion

[rocky canyon]

here ya go lol

[quick pollen]

yeaa ty xD

[noble forum]

Here you go, but thanks to this i looked at it again and it seems there is something that may be the culprit, but im not sure.

using UnityEngine;

namespace demo {
    public class CardDestroyer : MonoBehaviour {
        public CardContainer container;
        public void OnCardDestroyed(CardPlayed evt) {
            container.DestroyCard(evt.card);
        }
    }
}

[quick pollen]

"my cards are being destroyed without me wanting them to"
hierarchy shows Card Destroyer

[quick pollen]

could there be something calling that function?

[rocky canyon]

time to debug 🙂

[quick pollen]

try to log it every time it gets called

[rocky canyon]

vertx huh how page has a good writeup on how to reference other scripts..
https://unity.huh.how/references

or referencing in general.. may want to check it out as well

[noble forum]

Ok, just wait a sec, unity crashed

Ok, it all is mega weird. I disabled the shit out of this, and now ill implement correct changes in other scripts. Thanks

[daring oasis]

[SerializeField] Camera mainCamera;

When i try to attach my camera it says type missmatch

Why is this happening?

[grand snow]

in your ide, hover over Camera to make sure its not another type

e.g. a monobehaviour called Camera

[slender nymph]

and if it is the correct type, that means you are trying to drag a scene object into a prefab which is not possible.
https://unity.huh.how/references/prefabs-referencing-components

[daring oasis]

in the Hierarchy?

[slender nymph]

in your ide
where ide means "Integrated Development Environment" and refers to your code editor

[daring oasis]

oh wait

sorry

in the code when i hover over camera its of class Camera

[grand snow]

you want to see

When it says Type missmatch in the inspector its cus you changed the type of the field and the old value is still in there but invalid.

[slender nymph]

it will also say Type Mismatch if you try to drag something that doesn't have the correct component or if you try to drag a scene object into a prefab

[grand snow]

doesn't it just not do anything?

[daring oasis]

My object(player) wich has this script assigned is not a prefab

[slender nymph]

there were two things i said that it could be, if you have determined it is not one of those then it must be the other

[daring oasis]

well i sent an image with my camera object wich has a Camera Component

[slender nymph]

and did you do what rob5300 suggested and confirm that you are using UnityEngine.Camera and not perhaps some other Camera class, like one you may have created?

[daring oasis]

Oh right my camera is just as class camera not UnityEngine.Camera but the intelisense or however its called only autocompletes with this camera not any other Camera that is of UnityEngine.Camera

[slender nymph]

and have you created your own class called Camera?

[daring oasis]

pffffff right.... the script is called Camera so its the class

[slender nymph]

yeah so that would be the problem. don't name your components the same as other components and there won't be any issues like this

[daring oasis]

Thanks the problem is now solved

[grand snow]

thats why i suggested checking in ur ide to see. You can also declare the type with the namespace in it to make extra sure:

[SerializeField]
UnityEngine.Camera cam;

[true owl]

Not sure why but when my character jumps they don't have a parabola, they lose a lot of their speed after the peak of their jump

https://paste.mod.gg/oesspaqsckmq/0

even after I comment out AirModifier and JumpModifier

[daring oasis]

Oh i didnt know i can do that thanks

[rocky canyon]

When you manipulate the velocity directly you have to be careful..
for example ur Run() method runs every frame even during jumps and stuff..

void Run()
{
    if (isDashing || !isGrounded) return;``` wonder what happens if u were to return out of the run method if ur not dashin or airbourne

[true owl]

wait what

you mean the applyMomentum?

wait

that is ancient code

sorry

https://paste.mod.gg/nnsxjlpregzr/0

idk why it got my old code

this is the new thing sorry

[quick pollen]

i mean, it looks fine

it just wont execute anything

[daring oasis]

if i want to make some sort of 2D camera movement like to to slowly move twards the cursor do i need to assign to my camera a rigidbody to use forces? or is there another way

[rocky canyon]

ya, when jumping or dashin it wont.. but i think his problem is b/c the Run() method is using input to manually override linearVelocity during his jumps

then causing it to not have a perfect parabola

[true owl]

@rocky canyon

that is old code i pasted the wrong thing

https://paste.mod.gg/nnsxjlpregzr/0

[rocky canyon]

oh alrighty

[true owl]

ya sorry

[rocky canyon]

u got plenty of variables to work with..

i think u could remedy it by fine-tuning the values

especially since it appears u have gravity modifier before and after the peak of the jump

i remember making mine.. and i had to iterate many many times to get everything working correctly together..

by changing the drag, friction (air resistence in my case), and my control multipliers i was able to get a decent feeling controller
(carries momentum and all that jazz)

but its basically running in different states..
is it grounded -> use all these values
is it airborne -> use all these values instead

[true owl]

well the thing is i commented out all the jump modifiers and air modifiers but still it doesn't go normally

[rocky canyon]

you have heck of alot of code there..
without having it 1:1 on my machine i can't assume how everything works with everything else..
if it was anything like mine.. theres alot of little things working together.. and against each other at various times..
ur the only one thats gonna have a good feel for what alls going on lol

[true owl]

yeah that's true

i guess i'll need to take a bit more time to look at it

[rocky canyon]

best of luck mate.. i'll come back around to it and check if i can't see something but right now nothing stands out at me

[true owl]

gotcha much appreciated

[rocky canyon]

https://paste.mod.gg/qaballclgiqc/0

heres a snippet of mine.. and u can see theres tons of comments telling me.. (remove this force if this..) (make sure to add this force if this) etc etc

[rocky canyon]

it can really help to expose values in the inspector that way u can monitor them a bit better..

i've also used gizmo's and stuff to draw out the trajectory to test

[true owl]

interesting

i appreciate all the helkp

i've been coding for a bit now so I'll take a break and get back to it later maybe

[rocky canyon]

just noticed mine still isn't perfect lol

[daring oasis]

If im comparing 2 vector2 vectors being a velocityVector and Vector2.zero does it compare the values , the magnitude or the vector instance?

[swift crag]

Vector2 is a value type, so it would be very hard to do a reference comparison 😉

[rocky canyon]

and just to help speed-run the issue...
i'd try testing w/o movement at all.. should be able to Jump in place and then maybe take a recording.. or even write some code to log numbers and values.. to make sure the RISE of the player is = to the FALL of the player

[swift crag]

https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.0/Documentation/ScriptReference/Vector2-operator_eq.html

[daring oasis]

Oh ok thanks i will just compare their magnitudes so im sure i get what i want

[swift crag]

Compare the magnitude of their difference against a small value.

(that's what the == function is, but you might as well pick a specific threshold)

[grand snow]

https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.0/Documentation/ScriptReference/Mathf.Approximately.html Mathf approx to the rescue

[heady crown]

New to unity 😄 whatsup everyone 😄

[grand snow]

ofc if you want a "bigger" threshold then you should do it yourself

[swift crag]

notably, operator == for Vector2 uses a much larger threshold!

[rocky canyon]

update every frame.. fixedupdate every physics frame

[acoustic belfry]

oh

i mean cuz im having some issues in the animations and i thought was due using fixedupdate

what would happen if i replace fixedupdate with update?

[slender nymph]

it depends entirely on what you are doing in FixedUpdate and what your actual issue is

https://xyproblem.info

[rocky canyon]

it'd run every frame.. as opposed to each physics tick..

[acoustic belfry]

oh, interesting

well, the issue i have is the animation is glitched

like is overlapping

[acoustic belfry]

and i think i did something wrong in the script

cuz i did the same in the other npcs

and they work right

this is an example of the code

{
    rb2D.linearVelocity = new Vector2(runSpeed, rb2D.linearVelocity.y);
    animator.Play("Base Layer.valeria_walk");
}
else if (Input.GetKey("a") || Input.GetKey("left"))
{
    rb2D.linearVelocity = new Vector2(-runSpeed, rb2D.linearVelocity.y);
    animator.Play("Base Layer.valeria_walk");
}
else
{
    rb2D.linearVelocity = new Vector2(0, rb2D.linearVelocity.y);
    animator.Play("Base Layer.valeria_idle");
}```

i dont know what im doing wrong

[slender nymph]

be more specific. also finish a thought before sending the message instead of spamming the channel with half a dozen messages that all together comprises a single sentence

sorry im new to this

[acoustic belfry]

btw is there an "example" for a 2d player? i mean cuz i feel like my player script could be more simplier

[rocky canyon]

to me it looks like the keyframes are super short..

check out some of the resources on !learn . or check the asset store

if you read the documentation pinned in #🏃┃animation you can learn how the animator works to better understand how to use it

[acoustic belfry]

sure? cuz i checked the animation window and it works well

the issue here is, i did the same with my Npcs

they worked as a charm

what went wrong?

[rocky canyon]

well that walk cycle look like he on Speed

but it could also be transition problems

[acoustic belfry]

she, but yeah, but the animation still works, even when is idle

[rocky canyon]

where ur starting the animation over and over and over w/o it ever finishing

[acoustic belfry]

wich shouldn't be

cuz the idle animation has a single frame

[rocky canyon]

is it set to looping?

[acoustic belfry]

huh?

i think, no

cuz i havent add that

i just made up the animations

[rocky canyon]

LoopTime

[acoustic belfry]

ah yes

they are looped

[rocky canyon]

if its a single keyframe.. im pretty sure it should be set to looping

ah ok.. just checkin

[acoustic belfry]

but its still animated even when idle

wich is...odd, obviously

you're kidding me. I dont know why, and i dont know how, but...its fixed

ah no

nvm i know why, and its not pretty

i have a script that detects if the player is in ground, if is, it will display an idle animation, if is not, it will display a falling animation...I need that script

this is the script, what i did wrong?

        {
            animator.Play("Base Layer.valeria_idle");
        }

        if (CheckGround.IsGrounded == true)
        {
            animator.Play("Base Layer.valeria_jump");
        }```

[slender nymph]

you should learn how to use the animator so you can properly transition between your animations based on different conditions instead of hardcoding which animation to play

[kind spoke]

hello. I too am having a problem with the unity....
I made a script to detect when i click an object based on raycasting (this works no issues)
problem lies that i assigned a variable in the inspector and unity is telling me that the field is null 😦

[slender nymph]

there's probably another instance of that object in the scene at runtime where the variable is not assigned
