Hey can anyone help me create a code for pressing a button and then that disables a script coz i cant find any totorials

[brittle girder]

I have a question, on this list/array i noticed it added a _0 at the end of both of them. does this have any effect on their position in the list?

[void thicket]

No that's your sprite name

[brittle girder]

i'm having a bunch of trouble with this on click event and cant seem to solve it, been googling for 12 hours. just trying to find whats wrong.

@void thicket ive changed the name of my sprite and it still seems to show the wrong name also, thats why im trying to figure that out. thanks for your timely response

[void thicket]

Your sprite name is different from your texture file name

Which you can edit in sprite editor instead

Though I don't think that'd affect onClick, at all

[brittle girder]

yea, i dont think so. on the click im trying to have it where i click appropriate button, and the sprite changes to the appropriate race. nothing i do seems to work as intended and im shocked that i couldnt find any information on it despite it being so common. havent slept lol

[void thicket]

How did you set up your button

[brittle girder]

man, ive done a bunch of different ways to try so many different angles. at the moment i created a child of the canvas as a text button, then I enabled the onclick() and created a script called racemanager

first i tried making it add to an integer and have the sprite go up the list as i clicked one of the buttons and down the list as i clicked another (this isnt what i want but i was trying to get something to work)

and that failed

at this moment, the last thing i tried to do was make a bool for the race i want to select, and if it was true to change the sprite into the appropriate one by telling the .sprite = list[value]

public class RaceManager : MonoBehaviour
{
    public SpriteRenderer sr;
    public List<Sprite> race = new List<Sprite>();
    public bool dwarfpick = false;
    private int selectedRace = 0;
    public GameObject playerrace;



    public void dwarfOption()
    {
        
        if (dwarfpick == true)
        {
            sr.sprite = race[1];
        }


    }

this is where im embarassingly sitting at now lol

one second ill show you where i started

[polar acorn]

How I might go about doing this would be to have the button have a reference to the Sprite you want to use, then you click the button and it passes that reference to whatever thing draws the sprite

So, you'd have a RaceManager, but rather than keeping a list of all possible sprites, it's just receptive to having something else tell it to change, then your buttons can send it a sprite and some sort of enum or whatever you use to keep track in code

[brittle girder]

public class RaceManager : MonoBehaviour
{
    public SpriteRenderer sr;
    public List<Sprite> race = new List<Sprite>();
    public bool dwarfpick = false;
    private int selectedRace = 0;
    public GameObject playerrace;



    public void dwarfOption()
    {

        selectedRace = selectedRace + 1;
        if (selectedRace == race.Count)
        {
            selectedRace = 0;
        }
        sr.sprite = race[selectedRace];


    }

[polar acorn]

Makes it easier to add new ones

[brittle girder]

this is what i had at first

digiholic could you give an example?

the second one i sent i was just trying to get it to go up in the list

[void thicket]

And how does get "failed"

[grand snow]

lol even i did it wrong (what you did is fine)

[void thicket]

Does the callback get called?

[polar acorn]

[SerializeField] private RaceManager raceManager;
[SerializeField] private Sprite chosenSprite;

public void ChooseRace()
{
  raceManager.SetSprite(chosenSprite);
}

And then call ChooseRace in your UI button

[brittle girder]

nothing seems to happen when i do it, honestly i dont know how to check whats happening on the backside

[void thicket]

Show the button component

[polar acorn]

Debug Logs usually

[brittle girder]

will try something like this in a bit thanks, one moment

[void thicket]

Does the button get clicked at all

Changing colors when hover/click

[brittle girder]

here is button component

yeah the button changes colors

when i click it

[grand snow]

er whats that visual scripting thing

[brittle girder]

i tried with it off and on

the check mark lol

i ahve no idea what that is nor do i know what visual scripting is

[void thicket]

Is that "racemanager" reference same as the one on the scene?

[brittle girder]

im guesing the drag and drop block things

yea.

[void thicket]

What gets highlighted if you click that racemanager reference

[grand snow]

haha no you tell us if thats the correct object

[void thicket]

And what about sr reference

Ok let's log first

In the dwarfOption add some Debug.Log so you can see if it is called at all

[brittle girder]

it is indeed saying chicken pot pie

[void thicket]

Good, and can you show your RaceManager component in inspector?

[brittle girder]

im assuming the Dwarfpick is just a representation of the bool

[void thicket]

What does it highlight if you click selectedRace reference in sr

[final kestrel]

oops.

[brittle girder]

i dragged the object from view port into the slot

when i first did it

and also tried from the hierarchy

[queen adder]

i need help with GetComponent, GetComponent("string name of my script") works, but GetComponent<name of my script> doesnt, so i cant access the values within the script

[polar acorn]

What component are you trying to get

[queen adder]

a public class i declared previously

that inherits from monobehaviour

[polar acorn]

Show where you're calling it

[queen adder]

as in the folder or?

[naive pawn]

• what do you mean by "doesn't work"? there's a lot of things that could be going wrong
• show the exact code that has the issue

[queen adder]

returns a null value

do i just screenshot it

[void thicket]

So it is correct reference it seems then. Still don't see sprite changing? (Also.. save your scene)

[polar acorn]

In the code

Show the !code, and how you're determining what it's returning

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

[brittle girder]

@void thicket yea, sprites not changing at all

[queen adder]

like that?

that is the class i inherit from

[polar acorn]

Okay. There are no GetComponents in there

[rich adder]

btw [SerializeField] on public fields is redundant

its meant for exposing private fields, publics are already exposed

[queen adder]

this is the class i inherit tohttps://paste.mod.gg/neghxyxalzoo/0

[rich adder]

(unrelated to your issue)

[queen adder]

and here is where i call it from

[void thicket]

Make sure that's same sprite you are looking at- does it have any change in scene view, while play mode?

[queen adder]

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

specifically ive had trouble in line 130 of that last part

ive tried everything i found i nthe forums and absolutely nothing worked

[polar acorn]

Well, first off, if things like truehandR are always supposed to have takeaim component, why is the variable not just of that type instead of GameObject

[queen adder]

because its an object within the game

[polar acorn]

So what?

Make the variable the type you actually want

[queen adder]

its a script that takes values where to aim from what i remember

ill check again

[brittle girder]

im sorry im not following. if i am understanding what youre asking, its the same sprite as i dragged it from the scene to the appropriate slot

[polar acorn]

If your truehandR is always supposed to have a takeaim component, then truehandR should be of type takeaim. Same goes for every other variable of type GameObject you are using. You should basically never have public variables of type GameObject, use the type you actually want

[void thicket]

I mean click the play button, and select the object from hierarchy, click the button and see if anything changes in inspector

[queen adder]

performance issues otherwise right?

[polar acorn]

Add this line before the if:

Debug.Log($"Collided with {masterhit.collider.gameObject.name}. String GetComponent: {masterhit.collider.gameObject.GetComponent("Compatiblecontrollingchar")}, Correct GetComponent: {masterhit.collider.gameObject.GetComponent<Compatiblecontrollingchar>()}");

[polar acorn]

Yes but also easier and significantly less messy to write

[queen adder]

gotcha

on it

[void thicket]

Also.. is there other logic that is relevant? Visual scripting stuff possibely?

[queen adder]

Collided with droidtrooper. String GetComponent: droidtrooper (DroidControls), Correct GetComponent:

thats what it says

[polar acorn]

Can you show the inspector of droidtrooper?

[queen adder]

on it

screenshots right=?

[polar acorn]

Yes

[brittle girder]

havent dont any visual scripting

[queen adder]

those are all

[polar acorn]

Well, one thing that could cause this, is if you have multiple scripts named Compatiblecontrollingchar. The string version will look for things that match that name, regardless of what namespace they're in. The typed version will look for that implementation of Compatiblecontrollingchar, whichever class it references

[queen adder]

D: is there a way to search if i have multiple of those other than by hand?

[brittle girder]

@void thicket yea its not even switching the bool to true on click

i noticed when i turned it off and played again im not getting the debug

[polar acorn]

In the GetComponent with the type parameter, click on the Compatiblecontrollingchar and go to the definition (F12 if you're in Visual Studio. No idea the hotkey in VSC or Rider), and do the same for the one in the type declaration of DroidControls. See if they take you to the same file

[queen adder]

i think i found the little scoundrel

fingers crossed

i think it worked, ill try getting one of the component variables

i think the main mistake was trying to use the sample folder directly on the project

like the prefabs from it probably messed with things

😦 now i gotta redo 3 days of work

[polar acorn]

Well, while you're redoing it, you can refactor the code to use more precise typings as you go, which will make it much faster to get back to where you were

You can still drag in the whole object into a variable of a component type

It just means you don't need to GetComponent it

[queen adder]

@polar acorn i think i did try making it into a type but i had a similar problem to this and evaded it somehow by using a game objecrt

maybe cause its a cloudgaming game with webrtc and im using instancing that i can get away with things like that, i dont remember exactly what my reasoning was

[void thicket]

Were you editing things in play mode?

Try check the references again

[brittle girder]

i was definately not lol

my first time i did that and it deleted everything i never do that again lol

[warm raptor]

Hello, I have two cameras in my project, one that I use for my character and another that I use to make a drone view in the sky. How do I get the second camera to have a custom frame rate, such as 10 fps?

[rich adder]

you can probably make some type of timer with fps and then manually call Render()
might need to use render texture instead for display though

[warm raptor]

ok, I'll have a look, thanks for your help!

[swift crag]

If you're completely switching cameras, you could also just turn down the target framerate while using the drone camera

but that would make things like menus feel gross

and it's not appropriate if it's a picture-in-picture situation

it would also mean that each Update loop covers a very long period of time

...this is a bad idea

[rich adder]

speaking of which, seems to be working

[brittle girder]

i love you.... give me a kiss... omfg

[warm raptor]

wow you really make this that fast ?!?

[warm raptor]

at least I know what I shouldn't do 😅

[rich adder]

hehe its pretty simple
I had a bit of free time while waiting for my 🍵
https://paste.mod.gg/dedovtlpoqkp/0

[warm raptor]

I made this script that seams to be quit similar but it don't work at all

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

public class LowFpsCamera : MonoBehaviour
{
    public Camera targetCamera;
    public float frameRate = 1f;
    private float nextRenderTime = 0f;

    void LateUpdate()
    {
        if (Time.time >= nextRenderTime)
        {
            targetCamera.Render();
            nextRenderTime = Time.time + (1f / frameRate);
        }
    }
}

I think I've understand what's my problem

[rich adder]

you have to disable the camera first

[cosmic dagger]

did you make sure your camera was disabled?

[warm raptor]

I don't understand, why I should disable the camera ?!

[rich adder]

if you dont Render is being called every frame automagically

disable the camera component not the gameobject

just to be clear

the point of manually calling Render is you telling it when to render instead of being called how it is normally every frame

[cosmic dagger]

you can't call Render from an active (currently rendering) camera because it's being controlled during the render order . . .

[swift crag]

note that being disabled doesn't mean the camera can no longer work

disabling a component actually does..basically nothing

it just means that it won't have a few messages send to it

That was an important thing I learned in my earlier years with Unity

[rich adder]

yup mainly disables the MB messages like Update etc

[warm raptor]

ok I think i've understand, so basically, I have to use a render texture on my drone camera. I also have to completly disable my character camera and to just disable my camera component on my drone camera ?

[rich adder]

you can just swap between gameobject being active for camera 1 and camera 2

but yeah you can just disable component too, but the drone camera should stay disabled even while being used

Render texture can be Fullscreened as UI(Raw Image component) or a texture on a quad. up to you

[warm raptor]

ahhhhh ok I get it, I just need to use a render texture that I put in the background of a canvas, so I won't have a real camera, but some kind of video displayed on a canvas

[rich adder]

well the camera is there is just outputting to a texture not directly on screen

[warm raptor]

ok I see

[rich adder]

you can also put a camera infront of a quad with the texture, it does more or less the same effect

the benefit of UI is scales a bit easier with diff resolutions or you can easier overlay UI indicators

[warm raptor]

it sound like a bad DIY solution 😂

[rich adder]

well it depends on the look you're going for tbh. In my game the player holds a tablet so it just goes onto a texture while shows player holding the device

[warm raptor]

oh ok I see

I love the fact that I wanted to have a bad resolution camera and I'm not sure why, but it's actually really bad

[warm raptor]

Is it possible, with a render texture , to adapt it to the proportion of the screen? Because even if I want poor quality, I don't want a stretched image.

[rich adder]

what resolution did you set the texture at?

default value is 256 by 256 thats pretty low rez

[warm raptor]

I left the default proportion at 256 x 256.

[rich adder]

well that explains the low quality lol

[warm raptor]

yes, ok, it's true that it's rather logical, but is there anything I can do so that the image takes up the whole screen and is never stretched?

[rich adder]

to take the whole screen set the mode to stretch on uI?

did you make resolution bigger?

[warm raptor]

yes, but when I do that I have a square image (in something like 1024x1024) that trying to fit a rectangular screen, so the image is stretch

[rich adder]

why did you make it square then lol

use the resolution of your game

[warm raptor]

yes, but maybe my screen is in 16:9, but someone will have a screen in 4:3, 5:4 or 21:9... So okay the image wont be stretch for me but for other people the image will be stretched

[rich adder]

well there are compromises in life we have to make.. this is for you to decide how you will approach

everything in development has a tradeoff

[warm raptor]

So there's no other solution? if I want to have a low frame rate on a camera, I have to use a method that produces a bad stretched image?! I can't believe I have to make this compromise.

[rich adder]

did you set resolution to at least 1080p or something and yes, ofc its gonna start stretching on UI

if you dont want stretching you might consider using a quad

[lethal bolt]

Does anyone know why it attacks the camera lol ?

[rigid silo]

I have no clue how to code but have decided to learn c# to make a game, this will go well

[rich adder]

we all gotta start somewhere

[rich adder]

because you coded it that way?

you're literally telling the object to go to hit.point every time something is hit with ray

think carefully whats happening

[wintry quarry]

Your Raycast is hitting the box itself

[rich adder]

oh spoiler alert

[lethal bolt]

oh damn

Removed the collider🦤 🫡

Nvm, i made it so it only cares about the ground, so i can have an collider on the player and other objects

[rich adder]

You can use layers btw

idk if you used that before

once the cube is picked up you can switch collider to layer the raycast no longer want to pickup

disabling collider works too (but might cause other unwanted issues)

[twin bolt]

Would this be a proper method of checking to see if an objects rotation is withing -2 and +2 of a float? ``` if ((transform.rotation.y <= ClosedROT + 2) && (transform.rotation.y >= ClosedROT - 2)
{

    }```

[polar acorn]

Rotation is a quaternion. The Y value is not what you think it is

[wintry quarry]

no

What you should do is use Vector3.Angle and compare the object's forward direction with the direction you want to compare it to.

[twin bolt]

Okay thank you.

[twin bolt]

Like this: ``` Quaternion closedRotation = Quaternion.Euler(0, ClosedROT, 0);

    float angleDifference = Quaternion.Angle(transform.rotation, closedRotation);``` ?

[wintry quarry]

well yeah that's one way too

[twin bolt]

Okay.

[wintry quarry]

that's not exactly what I described above, but that's definitely a decent way to do it

[proud escarp]

Helllo guys, I'm following a Youtube video, and they create a new material and make it green

When I do literally the same, choose green as Base Map but it appears purple.. Why that? I didn't have the Shader Universal Render Pipeline / Lift from the options, so I installed it, but still remain Purple

[polar acorn]

You are using a shader that is incompatible with your current render pipeline

[proud escarp]

If I choose HDRP / Lit (which I think I did HDRP at that point), now appears yellow

I mean better then purple but still don't understand that 🤣

[slender nymph]

that means you have HDRP installed in your project, not URP

[rich adder]

show what actual render pipeline you are using

project settings => graphics

[wintry quarry]

Rmeembner this is a lit shader, it is subject to the lighting in your scene.

If you are a Unity beginner I highly recommend using URP not HDRP

[wintry quarry]

yes that's HDRP

[polar acorn]

Also I don't use HDRP but it's possible they have a different color space than built-in and URP use, so the "Green" channel might not map directly to the texture

[proud escarp]

It's not the first time I'm having issues there, considering that I'm learning I think I'm just gonna start again with URP

[twin bolt]

Start with URP, HDRP is a lot more advanced.

[proud escarp]

Do I have to start again the project from scratch or can I 'convert' this one to URP?

I mean not that there is that much I have done, but if there's a fast way to convert i'd just do that

[twin bolt]

You should be able to just convert.

[polar acorn]

https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.render-pipelines.universal@7.1/manual/InstallURPIntoAProject.html

[proud escarp]

Thanks! I'll try to convert that to URP then

[ornate patio]

bit of a random question but whats the best way to store data/lists etc to call into scripts? for example I want to store a list of names and randomly generate them with a script

[naive pawn]

probably just a static array kept in the relevant script

[wintry quarry]

A ScriptableObject is good

Theny ou could edit it in the inspector and/or have different such lists for different purposes.

[ornate patio]

Thank you, will take a look at ScriptableObjects

[sterile radish]

hi, im making an incremental game with upgrades in it. here is my shopitem script that is attatched to every shop item that you can buy. is there any way to make this script more efficient? a lot of the code in the last 3 methods is very similar and idk if its a good idea to have this script on every shop item. i had tried using an interface system to base different upgrades off of but im not quite sure thats what i want/need for my game so i tried this approach instead
https://hastebin.skyra.pw/gasokuhiba.pgsql

[wintry quarry]

I think you should be clear about what you mean by "efficiency" here, because this doesn't seem to be a performance question

This seems to be a code organization question

It seems like you have put the functionality of all different items onto this one script?

[sterile radish]

yes sorry the performance of the game is fine as it is but the way my code is structured right now is a bit clunky

[wintry quarry]

One option is to use polymorphism

e.g. make an abstract Upgrade method on this base class and then have different child classes which implement it differently

[inland cobalt]

        Quaternion roll = Quaternion.AngleAxis(-rollDirection * multiplier, Vector3.forward);      
        transform.localRotation *= roll;

what's the best way to go about smoothing out this roll, so it isn't an instantaneous start stop, but rather a quick acceleration/deceleration to and from the target speed?

[sterile radish]

okay, i'll try that, thank you

[wintry quarry]

Do it in a coroutine with an easing function or Animation Curve and Slerp

or use a Tween library

[inland cobalt]

For the coroutine approach I'm not sure how i would cleanly deal with stopping rotation/changing direction, mind explaning me the process in a bit more detail?

[rich adder]

https://unity.huh.how/lerp/coroutines
but replace it with Slerp

[inland cobalt]

Im doing my movement right now by doing this though:

        Quaternion yaw = Quaternion.AngleAxis(mouseDelta.x * multiplier, Vector3.up);
        Quaternion pitch = Quaternion.AngleAxis(-mouseDelta.y * multiplier, Vector3.right);    
        Quaternion roll = Quaternion.AngleAxis(-rollDirection * multiplier, Vector3.forward);      

        transform.localRotation *= yaw * pitch * roll;```

im not sure how id implement the slerp into that

[rich adder]

StartCoroutine from the current value to the desired value, store coroutine inside a variable so if you need to spin the other way you can stop that coroutine and assign this new coroutine and so on

[inland cobalt]

gotcha, thanks

[sterile radish]

why cant i drag and drop my ClickAdder script onto this "Upgrade" field?

https://hastebin.skyra.pw/tocinuxase.csharp

[polar acorn]

What type is Upgrade

[rich adder]

is it on a gameobject?

[sterile radish]

no it isn't on a gameobject and Upgrade is of type Upgrade which is a class that ClickAdder derives from

[polar acorn]

Oh wait, nevermind, they're both misspelled. I noticed the inspector said "Uprade" but no that's what the class extends as well

[polar acorn]

Is Uprade a MonoBehaviour?

[sterile radish]

yes

[rich adder]

it needs to be on a gameobject then

[polar acorn]

So then it does not exist unless it's on an object

[rich adder]

what youre trying to drag in is a TextAsset , that wont work for your type

put Uprade on a gameobject, then drag gameobject in the slot

components are created when they are on a gameobject, right now its just a text file

[polar acorn]

I believe you mean Uprade

[rich adder]

ah yes my mistake

[sterile radish]

ohh okay i see now thank you

[rotund falcon]

Even when I set the Rigidbody velocity to zero on my code, the character slides very shortly. Why?

[maiden totem]

        playerCamera.Rotate(Vector3.right * -lookVector.y);
        Vector3 camRotation = playerCamera.eulerAngles;
        camRotation.x = Mathf.Clamp(camRotation.x, -85, 85);
        playerCamera.rotation = Quaternion.Euler(camRotation);

why does this cause the transform to rotate very strangely? im not sure how to describe it, but i cannot look upwards and i can somehow look upside down behind me, but not always?

[stone spindle]

just started getting into unity and needed some help with my player input. my left and right movement are good, but the w and s key move my player vertically (instead of forward and backward). feel like this is an easy fix but not sure how to do it. anyone know how to fix this?

[earnest ginkgo]

so im trying to make it where when i select one gameobject the others are disabled but idk if this is nearly close

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

public class ColourRed : MonoBehaviour

public void WhenButtonRedClicked()
public void GameObject RedTex;

public void GameObject LBlueTex;
public void GameObject DBlueTex;
public void GameObject PurpleTex;
public void GameObject PinkTex;
{

    if (RedTex.activeInHierachy == true)
        DBlue.SetActive(false);
        PinkTex.SetActive(false);
        PurpleTex.SetActive(false);
        LBlueTex.SetActive(false);

Learn to use arrays instead of this mess

arrays

[earnest ginkgo]

ok

[stone spindle]

appreciate the help!!

[maiden relic]

The code is inside a weapon recoil script attached to pivot point, and when not enabled the gun position is fine but when enabled is not and I copied all values from the other gun that works

[maiden totem]

y coordinate is vertical (up and down) in unity

[maiden relic]

Not home atm to send the code

[stone spindle]

i switched it to z but that didnt work :/

[maiden totem]

did you switch both moveDirection.y and input.y to z?

[stone spindle]

yeah

gives me an error

[maiden totem]

and does your IDE give you an error under both of those?

or only one?

[polar acorn]

input.y should control moveDirection.z

[stone spindle]

beautiful

thanks so much

[maiden totem]

one of them is a Vector2 and another is Vector3

[stone spindle]

ok dope. appreciate the help. probably would have taken me an hour to figure that out

        playerCamera.Rotate(Vector3.right * -lookVector.y);
        Vector3 camRotation = playerCamera.eulerAngles;
        camRotation.x = Mathf.Clamp(camRotation.x, -85, 85);
        playerCamera.rotation = Quaternion.Euler(camRotation);

dont entirely understand what im doing wrong here
for some reason when the x rotation goes to 85, it snaps back to 0 instead of -85 (among other confusing issues)? i assume this could be because there is no -85 rotation and it's 275 instead? then how would i properly clamp it?

[earnest ginkgo]

how am i suppose to

[maiden totem]

read this message

[polar acorn]

Instead of clamping between -85 and 85, add 360 to it and clamp it between 275 and 445

Wait, I think my math is a bit off there I think there should be a modlus somewhere

[polar acorn]

Did you look at the bot message labeled "Posting code" that comes up every time someone replies to you

[earnest ginkgo]

yea i dont rlly get it

[maiden totem]

yeah it's the exact same for some reason

a modulus would make sense, but im not sure how to do it

[polar acorn]

Okay, it's ((angle + 360) % 360) - 360 to get it in the form of -180 to 180 while accounting for values that might already be within that range, or beyond 360

Might want to make a helper function for that

[maiden totem]

and would just plugging that into euler angle rotation work or would i need to undo this

[polar acorn]

It should, it handles negatives and post-360s just fine

it's just that the value you set it to and the value you get when you read it won't always be the same

transform.eulerAngles = new Vector3(0, 400, 0);
Debug.Log(transform.eulerAngles);

Will most likely log 0, 40, 0

[maiden totem]

somehow this is just the opposite of what happened - i cant look down and i can look up behind me
and also for some reason the y and z of the euler angles are also somehow changing? am i using something wrong

the camera is a child of the player rigidbody (and that rigidbody has x and z rotation frozen)

[polar acorn]

Yeah, that's the other thing. Setting an euler rotation on one axis can also be expressed as a rotation on the other two and there's no way to control which way it decides to express it

this is why rotations are stored as a Quaternion internally, by the way. One orientation = one Quaternion. No ambiguity there.

The only real solution is to either always write or always read from euler angles, never both. You can try to keep track of your angle internally and use that instead of getting playerCamera.eulerAngles

[maiden totem]

i just dont understand why stackoverflow has solutions that just dont work for me

this is also happening in fixedupdate but im not sure if that'd change anything

[polar acorn]

Because sometimes it will return the value you expect, and sometimes it won't

This person just happens to be oriented in a way that it always decides to use the right way to express the angle

[maiden totem]

alright, this ended up working
im not entirely sure why but, hell yeah

[maiden totem]

thx for telling me to keep track of the angle internally :D

[polar acorn]

Clamping angles is always miserable

[final kestrel]

Can you explain why you said that about clamping angles? I have a problem with my setup. My character rotates weirdly when I clamp my target rotation to my upper and lower look limit. Then when I dont clamp. It works fine.

[polar acorn]

Scroll up a bit, basically, euler angles are particularly annoying because they loop and you can exprfess the same orientation multiple ways

[rich adder]

you should be clamping a separate value that you then pass to Q.Euler

never clamp your eulers directly

[final kestrel]

Ah all right. Thanks.

[final kestrel]

Oh yeah sorry I did not see that part. Thanks!

@polar acorn got the thing working, is it ok to post gameplay videos here?

[polar acorn]

Show the inspector of MushroomSpawnScript

[rich adder]

MushroomSpawner not Mushoom

the gameobject its on

[polar acorn]

This is the script file

show me the inspector of the one that actually exists

[rich adder]

tbh they took you literally lol

[quasi notch]

Hello, I'm a beginner and I just installed unity 6 and then I created a new project but after the project was created I received errors like:
error CS0246: The type or namespace name 'DebugUIHandlerIndirectFloatField' could not be found
I put the whole error message in the attached file.

[rich adder]

that IS technically the inspector for the script not the component

no. Select the Mushroom Spawner object and show the inspector

[polar acorn]

If you don't have any objects with the script on it then it's not running

Okay, so the timer is properly set. If you're getting more than one mushroom in start you probably have more than one MushroomSpawnScript in the scene

Components are on objects. Objects are in scenes.

MushroomSpawnScript is the name of a component

If multiple mushrooms are spawning at start, then you probably have multiple ones in the scene

[rich adder]

you type t:MushroomSpawnScript in the hierarchy exactly like that

it will show al the objects with that script

[polar acorn]

Okay, so there's just the one. Maybe it is actually spawning them properly it just takes more than 6 seconds to load?

[rich adder]

sounds like you might have a corrupt installation / packages

[polar acorn]

You're spawning them every 3 seconds

if your game takes 6 seconds to load from when you hit play, two more spawns occur

[earnest wind]

im trying to make my own text system

what would be the best aproach?

[rich adder]

wdym "own text system" ?
thats very vague

[polar acorn]

Maybe try adding in a debug log where you call it in the timer and see if that's happening?

[polar acorn]

Don't

[earnest wind]

a 3d text, which updates based on a string

[earnest wind]

but i need it, im making a level editor

[rich adder]

Just use 3D TextMesh ?

[polar acorn]

TextMeshPro

[earnest wind]

i need collision

[rich adder]

so put mesh collider

[polar acorn]

Just use 3D TextMesh ?

[earnest wind]

for each letter?

and have it extrude?

[polar acorn]

Log something different, so you can tell them apart

Okay good just making sure to mention it

[rich adder]

no its pretty flat tbh

but you can probably use the vert points and extrude it further

I'm surprised there isn't a Probuilder 3D text type thing

[earnest wind]

yeah but what if i want so each letter has different rigidbody? or i could just combine them together

also texturing would be possible?

like it would just be a normal mesh

[rich adder]

You would have to do it like this then, grab the verts and create your own mesh from them

[earnest wind]

or maybe create a whole new gameobject for each letter and put them together

[rich adder]

it will still be flat though

[earnest wind]

i mean after i extrude

[rich adder]

oh right those wold be as individual letters yes

make a dictionary so you can just do a lookup table for each letter for storing their vert

[earnest wind]

could i ask, how do i get verts, is there a function for it or a library i should know?

[rich adder]

I think the TextMeshPro stores it as verts, if its quads ur fucked there and need to manually do it lol

[earnest wind]

oh my

maybe i could store each letter in a blender prefab?

it would be kinda a lot of work writing them all right now 😭

[rich adder]

you can but they will be fixed no? unless you then grab that and manipulate it

[earnest wind]

wdym

it would work i think

i will try

see you, and thanks

[rocky canyon]

you'd only need to create it once 😉

[earnest wind]

yeah but if user wants different fonts?

and complexity

[rich adder]

I mean you can grab the verts from the mesh and modify them

but yeah you're limited to the font you rendered with

[polar acorn]

So, while the game is running, repeat that search for mushroom spawn scripts

Where did you put those logs? Can you share the updated script with the logs in place so I can see where they're being called?

Put Initial Mushroom Spawned in start, and put something like Timer Mushroom Spawned where that one currently is

Or just post it here, I might be off in Factorio land

[lament harness]

I have a problem where my bullets destroy themselves when not even hitting anything
This happens only when i walk in the same direction as the bullet and shoot

[rich adder]

show bullet code

[slender nymph]

sounds like they are hitting your player or each other

[slender nymph]

yeah you should print what it hits

[rich adder]

Debug.Log(collisionobject.name)

[lament harness]

yea i thought that aswell but i turned off the collider for the player and it sitll did it

[lament harness]

ok

yea nvm its hitting

itself

ty

[slender nymph]

give this a read then: https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/LayerBasedCollision.html

[lament harness]

ok

will read

hey, i tried to make a gizmo for my meele attack but it doesnt show up...why?

    {

        if (hitEnemy != null)
        {
            if (hitEnemy.TryGetComponent(out EnemyBase enemy))
            {
                enemy.TakeDamage(meleeDamage);

    {
        Gizmos.color = Color.red;
        Gizmos.DrawWireSphere(transform.position, attackRange);
    }

[slender nymph]

do you have gizmos enabled

[rich ice]

also double check that attackRange isn't 0

[acoustic belfry]

wat, how do i enable them

holy wow, thanks

[glad gust]

hello

[last owl]

Is it possible to rotate a skybox vertically? Does anyone know how?

[timber tide]

I've done that but I can't recall my methods. Probably just copying one of unity's skybox shaders and adding onto it

reading some other methods and people just make a skybox camera and rotate that instead, and by not rendering the skybox in the primary camera

Lastly, you can make an inward sphere and render onto that with a panorama

[last owl]

if you're referring to the method by Duster_2015 here: https://discussions.unity.com/t/how-to-rotate-a-skybox-on-the-z-or-x-axes/138394/4, I tried following it but unity 6 doesnt have clear flags or depth as settings on the camera anymore. Is there an alternative way to do it for unity 6?

[timber tide]

Clear flag should be there?

Oh maybe you need to stack them

[blazing ice]

is there something i'm doing wrong here? i have the exact same code as in the tutorial but this script does not appear in "dontdestroyonload"
was i supposed to place this script anywhere??

[slender nymph]

presumably one of the previous steps told you to put the component on a GameObject in the scene

[blazing ice]

ah yeah that's probably the case

[slender nymph]

yeah, it's step 3 of section 4. you should make sure you actually follow all of the instructions when going through a course

[blazing ice]

very true, i have a habit of skimming over the tutorials, especially since they are no longer in video form from now on

[rapid laurel]

hii, anyone could help me?, changed the spawnPoint of a bullet from a 2d object to a 3d and now it doesnt appears in game, it creates the object but i dont see the image

it only shows when i activate the prefab O.o

dw i found a solution thx ❤️

[cursive ruin]

guys why does the oxygen decrementor has no serialize field and the healing item has a serialize field

[grand snow]

save the file...

[cursive ruin]

ohh

tyyy\

sorry noob question haha

[grand snow]

If the variable doesn't need to be public (accessible by other classes) you should instead do:

[SerializeField]
float blah;

[brittle pivot]

where do I begin(I'm completely new to coding)

[rapid laurel]

does anyone how do i make my character not turning when shooting?? Its a 2d Sprite i just want him to face the camera

[brittle pivot]

I'm tryna move away from scratch

how should I start

[dusty geode]

I personally would just learn the basics of C# outside of Unity first.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/tour-of-csharp/tutorials/

[dusty geode]

Why is it turned in the first place?

[rapid laurel]

i made him shoot to mouse position and it turns when i shoot in x directions

If this is 2D, you should probably be using a RigidBody2D instead

Also is the collider on the bullet controller set to be a trigger?

@rapid laurel Bullet colliders are usually set to triggers so they do not actually apply forces when hit

thats it yeah...

and me trying to code lines for nothing to make him not turn

thanks so much men

Note that you should now be using OnTriggerEnter now instead

instead of collision

[dense tartan]

Hi, i'm currently trying to flip a sprite based on it's angle relative to the character(left or right). Basically i just want to check if the transform.foward is facing the left side or the right side of my screen. I've tried using eulerangles, transform.forward and dot product but my methods of implementing it just suck. Any help?

[tulip stag]

If you saw the last message, no you didn't. Overnight coding had me asking the silliest things 😔

[fervent abyss]

super random jump in conversation but same

why doesnt this server have just 1 offtopic channel 😔

[tulip stag]

I sent a screenshot saying oh my godddddd why isn't my public variable showing up in the inspector

It was.

I just didnt see it but it was right on my face

[fervent abyss]

LMFAO

[dusty geode]

if (transform.forward == Vector3.left)

[dense tartan]

it does not register and i don't get the logs either, any idea whats wrong with my code

void Update()
 {
     transform.position = _player.transform.position;
     transform.right = _cursor.transform.position - transform.position;
     if (transform.forward == Vector3.left)
     {
         Debug.Log("flip left");
         flip = true;
     }

     if (transform.forward == Vector3.right)
     {
         Debug.Log("flip right");
         flip = false;
     }
     Flip();
 }

 private void Flip()
 {
     if (flip == false)
     {
         transform.localScale = new Vector3(transform.localScale.x, transform.localScale.y, transform.localScale.z);
     }
     else if (flip == true)
     {
         transform.localScale = new Vector3(-transform.localScale.x, transform.localScale.y, transform.localScale.z);
     }
 }

[dusty geode]

In 2D, I don't think you should be using transform.forward

I think you should be using transform.right

[dense tartan]

yes i've tried replacing it with that

it doesnt work either

transform.right does work when i use it to rotate the weapon though

[dusty geode]

Give me a few minutes and I can experiment

[dense tartan]

tysm

[dusty geode]

I mainly work in 3D so I don't want to give you the wrong answer

[fervent abyss]

how can i make so an object doesnt overlap with others? so like it renders first
i have an interface that player can see through camera, and obviously it overlaps with other objects when too close

[cosmic dagger]

because it doesn't deal with Unity, it detracts people from learning, and generally, leads to ppl getting in trouble . . .

[rapid laurel]

Guys I have another problem with my game, I made it shoot where I have my cursor, but the bullet doesn't go exactly there, but close.
Can it be a camera thing?

[dusty geode]

This should be what you want, I'm not sure what you were trying to do with the cursor position. You might need to flip the directions depending on how your character is oriented in the sprite. Let me know if you have any questions.

void Update()
{
    Vector2 playerPos = _player.transform.position;
    Vector2 myPos = transform.position;

    // set the y component to match the players so
    // calculations are done at the same height
    myPos.y = playerPos.y;

    Vector2 horizontalDirToPlayer = playerPos - myPos;

    // normalize so length is 1
    dirToPlayer.Normalize();

    Flip(horizontalDirToPlayer);
}

private void Flip(Vector2 flipDir)
{        
    Vector3 tempScale = transform.localScale;

    // assume positive
    tempScale.x = Mathf.Abs(tempScale.x);

    if (flipDir == Vector2.right)
    {
        tempScale.x = -tempScale.x;
    }

    transform.localScale = tempScale;
}

[soft creek]

Hello, how i can do for wait 1 second between the actions of my code, thanks

[dusty geode]

With a coroutine or awaitable

[soft creek]

ok, i will search information about that

[dusty geode]

I personally would go with Awaitable, but it slightly more complex imo. Worth it though.

[soft creek]

I want it to destroy an item when pass x seconds

[dense tartan]

Thank you, i'll take a look into it
I literally forgot .abs existed and was crazy trying to fix -(variable) constantly switching around inside the update loop

[west radish]

what a wonderful username

(not sarcasm)

[dense tartan]

Destroy(gameObject, seconds in float);

[dense tartan]

my cat stepped on my keyboard and sent this to a gc
so i decided to make it my username

[dusty geode]

private async void DestroyAfterOneSecond()
{
    await Awaitable.WaitForSecondsAsync(1f);
    Destroy(obj);
}

Lol I didn't know Destroy has a time overload

just use that

[rapid laurel]

just my character doesnt shoot exactly on my mouse position idk, it goes near it

[soft creek]

ok, thanks its goes

[dusty geode]

Post your code where you are moving the bullet

[soft creek]

and now how i can recover this item some seconds later?

[dusty geode]

Well you can't you destroyed it

[soft creek]

but if i destroy a prefab of this item i can instantiate another, no?

[dusty geode]

You could, not sure what you are trying to do though. If you need the exact same instance, don't destroy it. Just disable it and enable it again

[soft creek]

I want to do a dungeon when the walls can appear and disappear

[dense tartan]

I think i've dealt with this before, if Camera.main.ScreenToWorldPoint is used it usually mess up if the camera is in perspective mode or the Z values are mismatched
So the velocity change also counts the Z axis in

[dusty geode]

Yeah I wouldn't destroy, I would disable and enable

[soft creek]

ok

[dusty geode]

I guess activate and deactivate are the more appropriate terms when referring to game objects

[rapid laurel]

https://paste.myst.rs/6wcx0nes

[rapid laurel]

changed the Camera.main for raycast before to test if it works

[cosmic dagger]

I would just enable/disable the renderer component or activate/deactivate the GameObject. Especially, if the wall can reappear . . .

[dusty geode]

My biggest concern is that if this for 2D, you are doing a lot of 3D calculations

[soft creek]

And how i can do this? I'm new and I know practically nothing

[rapid laurel]

my character is a 2D sprite, but i wanted to move in all directions

and shoot in all directions too

[dusty geode]

You'll have to use coroutines or awaitables for this

[soft creek]

I sould copy this, but changing things, no?

[dusty geode]

you technically could do it in update with bool flags and timers, but it could get ugly

[dusty geode]

yes

[dusty geode]

Something like this could work.

private async void DisableAndReEnableWall(GameObject wallObject, float deactivateDelay, float reactivateDelay)
{
    await Awaitable.WaitForSecondsAsync(deactivateDelay);

    wallObject.SetActive(false);

    await Awaitable.WaitForSecondsAsync(reactivateDelay);

    wallObject.SetActive(true);
}

[dusty geode]

In 3D space (x,y,z) or 2D space (x,y)?

[soft creek]

i need to import something?

[dusty geode]

Which Unity version are you using?

[soft creek]

2022.3.27f1

[dusty geode]

Awaitables were introduced in Unity 2023, so if you are stuck on 2022 then you'll have to use Coroutines

[soft creek]

oh

i can prove of changing my version

Unity 6(6000.0.36f1) is a good version?

[dusty geode]

you can also use a 3rd party library UniTask which are better than Awaitable and behave very similar

yes

Thank you I will be checking them out !!!!

[gritty glade]

Hello, I am following a tutorial for unity, and am stuck on a part. Basically what I am making is a flappy bird type of game and I basically used the same line of script as the tutor, but it doesn't work the same for me.

transform.position = transform.position + (Vector3.left * MoveSpeed) * Time.deltaTime;

This is supposed to be the line of script for the pipes moving past the bird. I looked up what ''Time.deltaTime'' does, since that was supposed to fix the exact problem i am facing currently. Can anyone help me? Oh and the problem basically is that the pipe moves to the left way too quick. Apperantly the extra "Time.deltaTime" was supposed to fix it.

[cosmic dagger]

If it's too fast, then change your speed. MoveSpeed determines how fast the object moves . . .

[gritty glade]

Oh so it isn't a scripting mistake? Glad to hear.

Okay wait its this small of a number and the pipes aren't even visible are the pipes just gone?

could it it be that the pipes fall out of the scene even before the whole scene plays?

[verbal dome]

Press pause and see where the pipes are in your scene view

[gritty glade]

they moved slightly

maybe the pipes are behindthe blue screen

yup it

is

how can i move where the blue screen is?

cuz it is im front of the pipes

nvm

i fixed it

[cosmic dagger]

Well, yeah, you should be able to know what that line of code does. If an object moves too fast, you slow it down, and vice-versa. It's just a logic question . . .

[gritty glade]

yea i understand the code but the pipes just werent appearing on screen so i kept on wondering where they were

finally figured it out so yea

[alpine nexus]

are there any techniques to simulate softbodies in a computationally cheap way?

[verbal dome]

What defines "cheap"? Do you need dozens/hundreds of those running at once?

The easiest way to fake a softbody is to put physics joints and colliders in the bones of the skinned mesh

PhysX has no soft body physics built in tho

[alpine nexus]

i have a single egg running in a mobile game

thinking of supporting as many mobile devices as i can

Hi, well, i have a problem, the meele collision have to be in fron of the player...But is on its middle...what i have to do for make it work on the right, or left if the character is facing left?

{
    Collider2D hitEnemy = Physics2D.OverlapCircle(transform.position, attackRange, demons);
    if (hitEnemy != null)
    {
        if (hitEnemy.TryGetComponent(out EnemyBase enemy))
        {
            enemy.TakeDamage(meleeDamage);
        }
    }

[verbal dome]

You can make an empty transform and use its position instead

If you use localScale.x to flip the character, this transform will flip with it

As long as it's a child

[acoustic belfry]

oh, thanks :3

[acoustic belfry]

i think i did something wrong, i made the public gameobject and i added the script to the overlap, but it remains in the same character pos

    {
        Collider2D hitEnemy = Physics2D.OverlapCircle(machetepos.transform.position, attackRange, demons);

        if (hitEnemy != null)
        {
            if (hitEnemy.TryGetComponent(out EnemyBase enemy))
            {
                enemy.TakeDamage(meleeDamage);
            }
        }```

[verbal dome]

I don't know where machetepos is but that's where it overlaps

[sterile radish]

hi, i have a robot that im moving along currently. how do i move it along the following grid like this? (imagine the lines i drew were straight)
https://hastebin.skyra.pw/edokuyoqiv.pgsql

[wintry quarry]

something like:

• move forward until you hit a wall.
• turn left
• move forward 1
• turn left
• move forward until you hit a wall
• turn right
• move forward 1
• turn right
• repeat from teh beginning

[acoustic belfry]

mmmm, then idk what im doing wrong

[verbal dome]

What is the red wire sphere showing?

[acoustic belfry]

the location of the meele

it should be in the front of the player

[verbal dome]

How do you draw it

[acoustic belfry]

wat

like this

    {
        Gizmos.color = Color.red;
        Gizmos.DrawWireSphere(transform.position, attackRange);
    }
}```

wait

[verbal dome]

And what is transform

[acoustic belfry]

oh, you mean it should say

    {
        Gizmos.color = Color.red;
        Gizmos.DrawWireSphere(machetepos.transform.position, attackRange);
    }
}```

[acoustic belfry]

i suposse the location

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

now it works

thanks

[fervent abyss]

pls?

[rich adder]

wdym, do you want the objects to be above the text? not sure I understand

[fervent abyss]

i want the text to not overlap with other objects

i want the text to be above all the object

[rich adder]

which objects? they're all objects

texts are objects too

is this a screen space canvas? it should already be drawn above everything else by default

[fervent abyss]

its not its just textmeshpro

do i set that up?

[rich adder]

if you don't need the text to be in the physical world and just overlay the camera then use a canvas / textmesh pro UI version

[fervent abyss]

oh ok thanks!

[rich adder]

next time put in #💻┃unity-talk or #📲┃ui-ux this is code channel btw

[proper yacht]

How to set Panel not visible by default?

For Settings

as example

[swift crag]

the "Panel" object is just a game object with an Image component on it

You can disable the Image component or deactivate the entire game object

The latter will cause all of its children to be deactivated

[proper yacht]

I want to active it withing settings.SetActive(true); will that be correct?

But I can't find out how to deactivate it by default

in spectator

[swift crag]

you can deactivate game objects in the inspector

[rich adder]

the checkmark next to the name

[swift crag]

e.g. it's the checkbox here

[proper yacht]

Thanks a lot

[swift crag]

You have to capitalize it correctly.

does anybody know why my turrets arent spawning properly in my game when i stop playing it and i try to replay it'

https://paste.ofcode.org/kk9MYD3Enr9NV3KvujhzVn

[rich adder]

what does "not spawning properly" mean

whats happening vs what do you expect to happen

[pure drift]

it shows up as invisble like the first 3 show up properly but then the rest are invisble

[buoyant shoal]

Yo can someone help with the scene manager i'm starting to tweak

[verbal dome]

FYI this does nothing cs turretinst.transform.Rotate(0f, 0f, 0f);
Rotate adds to the rotation, it doesn't set it

[wintry quarry]

wdym by invisible

Are they showing in the inspector?

[rich adder]

maybe try asking a specific question

[pure drift]

it shows up in the scene and inspector

[wintry quarry]

then it's just not in view of your camera

or it's behind another object

sopmething along those lines

[naive pawn]

or mightve been culled

[wintry quarry]

Note that even 2D games use the Z axis

very well could be behind your camera

[buoyant shoal]

Whenever I press my button it doesn't go to the desired scene even if I made a dedicated main cam

[pure drift]

thank you ill try and look into that and see if i can adjust my camera and objects to see if i can try and get it to work

[rich adder]

did you put a log to see if the function / button is working at all

[wintry quarry]

You're also rotating them 90 degrees on the Y axis. Isn't this a 2D game?

            GameObject turretinst = GameObject.Instantiate(turretPrefab, spawnArea.position, Quaternion.identity);
            turretinst.transform.Rotate(0f, 90f, 0f);```
You're probably "paper mario"ing them

[buoyant shoal]

Yeah it says it's pressed in the log

[rich adder]

show code

[buoyant shoal]

The log or my code?

[rich adder]

the code

[pure drift]

intresting ill try removing that little bit and seeing whats up

[wintry quarry]

• Make sure you save your code
• Make sure you don't have any compile errors in your console.

[rich adder]

you probably have compile errors?

Ah my b holdon

[rich adder]

what about Unity ?

[wintry quarry]

Like i said, check your Unity console

your code editor is probably not set up properly

Show screenshots

of the full unity window, with console, with the script selected too

[rich adder]

https://screenshot.help
just gonna leave this here

[wintry quarry]

console window is not being shown here

[crystal fulcrum]

win shift s >

[rich adder]

ah they're hidden

[wintry quarry]

You have two compile errors

make sure you press that button so you can actually see your errors

you have them hidden

[heavy fulcrum]

you will have a script that allows you to move with an azerty keyboard ??

[wintry quarry]

Should probably get around to fixing them 😉

[rich adder]

I think Input class lets you switch around but i dunnow, now I use new input system

[wintry quarry]

Well we can't help you if you don't share with the class

[pure drift]

i have like 15 in here, but only some spawn for some reason

[buoyant shoal]

@rich adder ```cs
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.SceneManagement;
public class SceneSwitcher : MonoBehaviour
{
public void LoadMainScreen()
{
SceneManager.LoadScene("Mainscreen");
}
public void LoadCameraScreen()
{
SceneManager.LoadScene("CameraScreen");
}

public void LoadSettingsScreen()
{
SceneManager.LoadScene("SettingsScreen");
}
}

Like this?

[rich adder]

did you check z positions?

[wintry quarry]

If the're in hierarchy, they have spawned

and again if they're not visible, it's because they're not in view of your camera, or they're rotated weirdly

[rich adder]

a bit better sure. Ok so where is the logs you said were there?

[heavy fulcrum]

do you have a script to make a character move? that's the question

[wintry quarry]

Very simple you're trying to use some class called PlayerCam which doesn't exist in your project.

[naive pawn]

so where have you defined PlayerCam?

[wintry quarry]

Either create such a class or get rid of those parts where you're using it

[rich adder]

use one of the Player Starter Assets unity provides

[pure drift]

i think it might be because of rotation any suggestions on how to fix that bit

[wintry quarry]

stop rotating them on the y axis for no reason?

[heavy fulcrum]

how do we do that?

[wintry quarry]

You have a GameObject named PlayerCam. Your code is talking about a class named PlayerCam, which you don't have

[naive pawn]

classes are anything that are declared like class X

[rich adder]

Third person
first person

[pure drift]

ill try that thank you

[heavy fulcrum]

thanks

[wintry quarry]

A class is anything you define with the class keyword. e.g. public class MyClass {}

[buoyant shoal]

I forgot to add it there but i'm 100% sure the button works when I run the game it doesn't just switch the scene

[rich adder]

put a log in that method and show me it in the console

[wintry quarry]

You're kinda just guessing it sounds like.

If you're following a tutorial, you should just follow the tutorial exactly

The point of a tutorial is to learn the concepts they are teaching

@rich adder

Srry it took a while

The blue is the camera background btw

[sterile radish]

hi, i'm currently trying to make a robot move in a zig zag pattern in a grid but then this happens whenever it gets to the top. why is this happening?
https://gyazo.com/723f4c642cba40e78410ccabf36b4659
https://hastebin.skyra.pw/okarefeneg.csharp

[rich adder]

so the scene is Loaded?

[buoyant shoal]

Yeah I think so but I made a canvas but the main cam doesn't show that

I already scaled the canvas to screen size

[rich adder]

where is the canvas supposed to be ? show it in the camera screen

[swift crag]

>= height - 1 is off by one

using >= instead of > makes the condition true one row earlier

as does subtracting 1 from height

[buoyant shoal]

Do I have to show the scaler?

[sterile radish]

thank you so much! it works now but now when it reaches the last tile it keeps going up, how can i make it so that when it reachest that last tile, the robot retraces it stpes back to the 0,0 tile?

[rich adder]

as long as you show where you expect canvas is supposed to appear

[buoyant shoal]

It's supposed to scale with the phone screen

I find it odd because it works with my main menu but not the other scene's

Omg i'm so dumb

I set my camera sceen to display 2

[naive pawn]

turn around and go again, and make sure to set the parity correctly

[sterile radish]

sorry, what is a parity?

[gritty glade]

question, how do i find this script from another? I tried:

public GameObject birdScript;

birdscript = GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag("Bird").GetComponent<BirdScript>();

Please help.

OMG

WAIT

nvm

still need help

i put the tag on bird now but it still doesnt work the way i need it to

error:

[short hazel]

You misspelled your variable name

Compare the names between the two lines

[gritty glade]

oh

[short hazel]

Your variable is of the wrong type. It's a GameObject but GetComponent gives you a BirdScript here

cuz i basically dont get no info from vs

okay

i have vs

though

Right-click where it says "unloaded" on the right, and select "Reload with dependencies"

If it does not work, follow the guide and skip the steps you've already done

[gritty glade]

where does it say unloaded

[short hazel]

Solution Explorer on the right of this very screenshot

On the Assembly-CSharp project

[gritty glade]

so this correct?

[short hazel]

What did you click?

[gritty glade]

reload project with dependencies

HEY i am in really big trouble and i cant understand

my character cant move when its paralel with world z axis

forget i saw.... v2 insted of v3...

sry

[gritty glade]

alr well I followed it, turns out i was actually missing unity. I really do remember me downloading it but somehow it wasnt downloaded

[slate elm]

Okay so how do I start 😭 I started with the Microsoft Learn tutorial which had me re-learning the most BASIC of concepts but they use completely different syntax in C# (This is coming from someone who uses Python but not at a high level) and then eventually it just got long and confusing so I stepped back

[gritty glade]

okay so do i need to press this?

[short hazel]

Yes

Just like you did a few minutes ago

[gritty glade]

alright well i did

wow it shows red highlights

never thought how much i missed them

[ruby drift]

guys i need help, every time i open anything it says "failed to resolve project template: failed to descompress"

[short hazel]

Ask in #💻┃unity-talk as this most likely not coming from your own code

[ruby drift]

okay

but i already did

[gritty glade]

so is the "Bird" part incorrect?

[short hazel]

Then wait for an answer over there, you should not post the same question to multiple channels

[short hazel]

No it's the birdScript variable that has the wrong type

[gritty glade]

yes just found out

so i cant use Getcomponent

[short hazel]

You can, by changing the type of the variable

[gritty glade]

so how i find BirdScript

alright well i think i fixed it

[short hazel]

It will find a BirdScript just fine, C# just refuses right now because you're trying to put a square block (BirdScript) into a round hole (GameObject)

[gritty glade]

the flaw wasnt in the line we are talkign about

[short hazel]

Yes that is correct

[gritty glade]

basically i had
public GameObject birdScript;
for some odd reason

[wintry quarry]

This isn't beginner stuff. #archived-networking

[grand snow]

did you remove a package like unity collab?

[solemn grotto]

what

i am new to unity

[grand snow]

try closing unity, going to your project folder, deleting the Library/PackageCache folder then re open unity.

[burnt vapor]

Can also just remove the library folder as a whole. Unity regenerates it.

[grand snow]

yea true but that will be slower for em to reimport everything

[solemn grotto]

How do i refer to an audioclip within an audio source in unity

[polar acorn]

https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.0/Documentation/ScriptReference/AudioSource-clip.html

[woeful carbon]

does anyone here have a lot of experience with coding procedural generation

[gritty glade]

I tried to understand the explanation but i still dont understand how to play a sound btw if it is important my project is in 2D

[polar acorn]

Playing a sound isn't what your question was

https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.0/Documentation/ScriptReference/AudioSource.Play.html

[gritty glade]

oh yea true

i copied what they were doing and well for me it errors

[slender nymph]

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

[gritty glade]

https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.0/Documentation/ScriptReference/AudioSource.Play.html
i copied stuff from this link

[slender nymph]

read the example more carefully. if you think you wrote valid c# then you need to learn the basics

[wintry quarry]

What you wrote there is by no means a copy of what's in the document you linked.

[gritty glade]

i didnt think that i dont assume anything as valid c# since i just started about yesterday

[slender nymph]

then learn the basics

[gritty glade]

i have been doing that

[wintry quarry]

This is not a copy of the doc

not even close

[gritty glade]

found a really nice tutorial which i completed

[slender nymph]

then continue that instead of what you are currently doing

[gritty glade]

continue? i finished it and now the dude told me to do some things on my own to finish the game even more. i made it so that if the flappy bird goes off screen that its gameover and that if you die you cant get more points. Now the next thing he challenged me is adding sounds.

[slender nymph]

you clearly did not learn the actual fundamentals of c# if you think what you wrote is valid in any way

[gritty glade]

never said that i said i copied stuff so ig that means 1 line

[slender nymph]

and if you cannot recognize why it is invalid then you need to go learn the actual fundamentals of the language

[gritty glade]

didnt think that

[slender nymph]

then why did you write it if you did not think it was valid?

[gritty glade]

cuz it was an official thing doc

[slender nymph]

you literally did say you copied it from the docs
#💻┃code-beginner message

[gritty glade]

yes but not the whole thing

[polar acorn]

So, did you get the line from the documentation or did you not?

Because the documentation has a correct line. The issue is, you did not

[gritty glade]

thats what im tryna say

[polar acorn]

The things you've changed are the things that are wrong

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/language-reference/statements/declarations

[gritty glade]

i wrote literally this line

[wintry quarry]

no, you literally didn';t

[polar acorn]

Okay, so did you get an error on that one?

[wintry quarry]

Look at your code

it is different

[gritty glade]

wow i dont know how i didnt see that

that was a whoopsie mistake

[fervent escarp]

[unity 3D]
what can i do to make the player not slide off the edge of for example a cube
im currently using capsule collider for the player and i cant really use the cube collider because of no round edges and there is no collider that i can really use
the collider i would want would have a spherical top and flat bottom with rounded edges on the sides as in capsule collider but there is nothing like that unfortunately

[dusty geode]

You can use a combination of a box collider and a capsule collider

[fervent escarp]

but how?

[dusty geode]

Place the capsule collider like normal and place the box collider on the lower half

they can overlap each other

[fervent escarp]

but then the bottom will be a square and not round

[dusty geode]

Isn't that what you want?

[fervent escarp]

wait a sec
i need to make a very professional representation of it in paint

[dusty geode]

the other way is to create a mesh of the shape you want and use a mesh collider

[bitter minnow]

defenseSquares[i].button.onClick.AddListener(OnDefense);

So this works fine but how would I pass i to the OnDefense function without using anonymous functions (need to keep a reference to remove this listener at some point)

[dusty geode]

You can store the delegate for unsubscription later,

[fervent escarp]

i tried and unity doesnt support custom collider meshes when using rigidbody

[bitter minnow]

Store it how?

[grand snow]

have a new component that has its own event so it can pass i

public event Action<int> myCoolEvent;

I 99% of the time do this even for just button clicks as i dont think its good design to expose the button publicly

[dusty geode]

Action onDefense = () =>
{
    // do something with i
};

defenseSquares[i].button.onClick.AddListener(onDefense);

// sometime later

defenseSquares[i].button.onClick.RemoveListener(onDefense);

[grand snow]

plz no 😆

[bitter minnow]

Yeah that would work but I'd end up duplicating references in the class. Might as well have a dictionary to store those references... Is it possible to pass the int value through the unity inspector? It's actually meant to be an enum of direction (left, center, right)

[dusty geode]

Would a cylinder mesh collider work that is set to convex?

[fervent escarp]

covex? what is it

[grand snow]

public class DefenseSquare : MonoBehaviour
{
    public event Action<int> OnClick;

    public int index {get; set;}

    [SerializeField]
    Button button;

    private void Awake()
    {
        button.onClick.AddListener(() => OnClick?.Invoke(index));
    }
}

do the event yourself and store the index. Or the click event can pass itself as an arg via this so you dont even need the index to access it later:

public event Action<DefenseSquare> OnClick;
//elsewhere...
button.onClick.AddListener(() => OnClick?.Invoke(this));

[fervent escarp]

sorry, im not an english speaker, i know what it is now but dont know where to enable it

[dusty geode]

https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/class-MeshCollider.html#:~:text=Description-,Convex,-Enable the checkbox

It essentially creates a shape around the mesh

[bitter minnow]

I'm talking about providing the logic directly in the class for the OnClick when setting it up. If it's not convenient to do so the next best option might be to just have dedicated method for each attack and direction (attackLeft, attackCenter) etc. Was hoping I could make use of the direction enum (left, center, right) to iteratively set each one and then unset each one. It's all looking like "voodoo" however so the direct methods might be my best bet.

[grand snow]

i dont really understand what you mean, your event can have many args including some enum? can you give more info?

[fervent escarp]

ok, that should work for now, also i didnt realize its only in mesh collider

[grand snow]

trying to show you though you can make life easier by having your own events with your own data between a button click event.

[dusty geode]

yes and convex mesh collider should work with rigidbody

[fervent escarp]

it works fortunately

also is it possible to bind a key to minimalize the window?

for example use the KeyCode.LeftMeta

[dusty geode]

Not built in, it's also going to require platform specific code

https://discussions.unity.com/t/minimizing-and-maximizing-by-script/7521

[solemn grotto]

anyone know how to fix my character falling through the map when i play

[fervent escarp]

you can put your character higher above the ground

[solemn grotto]

ok i will try

[solemn grotto]

it doesnt work

i keep falling

[fervent escarp]

does the ground and player have collider?

[dusty geode]

you'll need to provide some more info

[solemn grotto]

so i put the guy like very high

when i do that its not on the platform fully

but if i do it a little high or medium i just fall

[dusty geode]

Like wickend said, does the player and platform have a collider?

[solemn grotto]

where do find that?

i started today and it worked fine

but now it keeps making me fall

[dusty geode]

On the player and platform objects, there should be a collider component on both

[solemn grotto]

yeah

which button is it to enable

[solemn grotto]

you know how to fix that?

[sterile radish]

hi, im want to make a circle move along a grid in a pattern like the ones below. i have made it so that the the circle moves along the grid like the red arrow just fine. however, after it's done moving and reaches the top right corner, i'd like to make it retrace its steps and move along the grid similar to the blue arrow. how can i achieve this?
https://hastebin.skyra.pw/axigevikef.csharp

[grand snow]

go backwards? however you walk along you should add something so you can reverse the direction.

[frosty hound]

Iterate through the tiles in reverse?

[solemn grotto]

anyone know how to fix my character falling through the map when i play

[sterile radish]

yes i was thinking of having a list of all the grid tiles and then iterating through them normally then in reverse but im unsure how to put them into a list for my desired order

[rich ice]

read above

[solemn grotto]

the collider thing doesnt help

[rich ice]

[patent verge]

how can I make this climable ?

[rich ice]

[patent verge]

how so

[rich ice]

depends on how you're currently moving your character. are you using a rigidbody? character controller? transform.translate?

[patent verge]

player controller

[grand snow]

if using a for loop you can go backwards doing for(int i = list.Count - 1; i >= 0; i--)

[maiden totem]

I'm unsure if this is more of a math question but, i have a directional vector and a point. How would I select a random point on a circle (plane), perpendicular to that directional vector?

[rich ice]

just add a trigger to the ladder. in the code check if the player has entered a ladder trigger and then have them move up. there's a lot of ways of doing ladders and it compeltely depends on how you're movement works

[frosty hound]

How did you achieve the path in the forward direction?

[patent verge]

amen

[void thicket]

How can a point be "perpendicular" to direction

[maiden totem]

the circle/plane is perpendicular to the direction

[sterile radish]

i linked my script in my original statement but basically i made the circle go right until it reached the right border of the grid. if it did, i made it go up by one tile then set the movement direction to left. it then goes all the way left until it reaches the left border, then it goes up by one and sets the movement direction to right and it repeats until it reaches the end

i add the moveDirection to it's starting position every turn and lerp its position to that for it to actually move

[wintry quarry]

Do you mean a point *along * the vector?
And that would have to be a ray, not just a directional vector. I.e. we would need to know the starting point at the beginning of that arrow in addition to the direction.

[frosty hound]

So can you not just to the opposite? Move to the left until it hits the border, then go down one tile and reverse?

[void thicket]

Eh pick random point within circle then transform it to space you want?

[maiden totem]

oh that would make sense, thank you

[sterile radish]

yes but thats what im a bit confused on, because i already have logic to check if the circle is at the left border and if it is, it goes up. how do i use this same logic to make it go down when its going in reverse?

[frosty hound]

Have a bool IsReversed that you use to determine if you should go up or down when you're at the border.

[opal kernel]

Hi. Im new to unity and should i learn all of c# or no?

[void thicket]

You'll need to learn C#

[opal kernel]

All of it?

[rich ice]

do you think christians memorise the bible?

[void thicket]

All of C# just doesn't make sense

[opal kernel]

Can someone give a tutorial just so i know?

[polar acorn]

sorry to interrupt, but im having an issue on one part of my hw-

I cant get the input part to show up- and im a bit stumped on how to make it appear

[polar acorn]

What are you seeing on your end

[void thicket]

Show your Touch Raycaster code

[sick valve]

one sec

[polar acorn]

Do you have any compile errors

[rich ice]

does it show up with debug?

[sick valve]

only that it's similar to another one, but my hw told me to copy it from that to this new one, and just change some debug words around

[polar acorn]

Let's check the easy stuff first before going that far

[sick valve]

using UnityEngine;

public class LevelInputTester : MonoBehaviour
{
    [SerializeField] private InputHandler _input;
    private void OnEnable()
    {
        _input.TouchStarted += OnTouchStarted;
        _input.TouchEnded += OnTouchEnded;
    }

    private void OnDisable()
    {
        _input.TouchStarted -= OnTouchStarted;
        _input.TouchEnded -= OnTouchEnded;
    }

    private void OnTouchStarted(Vector2 position)
    {
        Debug.Log("TouchRaycast: Started: " + position);
    }

    private void OnTouchEnded(Vector2 position)
    {
        Debug.Log("TouchRaycast: Ended: " + position);
    }
}

[polar acorn]

If you have any compile errors, you have to fix them

[rich ice]

debug isn't that complex, it just shows the private variables in the inspector

[sick valve]

i don't think it was a compiling error , just a warning

[void thicket]

This is not Touch Raycaster

[polar acorn]

Show your console

[void thicket]

Your class name

[sick valve]

... im an idiot- let me swap that rq

[polar acorn]

Unless it's Unity 6, in which case that's no longer necessary

[sick valve]

it is in fact unity 6-

[polar acorn]

Still, you should match the class name to the file name

But also show your console

[sick valve]

yep that did it, ty

[polar acorn]

Huh, that's supposed to have been fixed in 6. Guess not

[sick valve]

dammit 6

im gonna go fight a number now

[solemn grotto]

anyonebody knows how to fix going through the map after spawning

[wintry quarry]

That's not something that normally happens, so you'd have to share details about your setup.

presumably you need to double check your physics setup

and make sure you're not spawning below the map

[solemn grotto]

i am not

i am on the map for like a second and then i just fall down to the abbys

it didnt happenn last time when i played

but now it does

[wintry quarry]

You need to share details

[solemn grotto]

can i show video?

[wintry quarry]

Sure but it would also be more valuable to share the details of how your physics are set up and your movement script
