[rocky canyon]

with a physics raycaster on ur cam it can work w/ regular colliders

[rich adder]

internally is just doing a raycast... the interface methods are what make it more particular

[swift crag]

You do need the physics raycaster. very important.

[fleet venture]

so you put that on your camera

[rich adder]

yes

[rocky canyon]

i also have a graphics raycaster

b/c im never sure which one i need 🤣

i just add both

[fleet venture]

the 2d one

[rich adder]

Physics = colliders
Graphic = canvas

[rocky canyon]

^ there ya go

ez pz

[fleet venture]

okay that makes sense

[rich adder]

yes you need the 2D one for 2D colliders

[rocky canyon]

then ur IPointer stuff just works out the box

[fleet venture]

and then i can implement IBeginDragHandler, IEndDragHandler?

[rocky canyon]

it should..

now u can debug.log quickly

to test

[rich adder]

indeed

[fleet venture]

uh its now just stuck to my mouse

[deft breach]

Try this alternatively:

{
    private bool _dragging;
    private static Camera _mainCamera;

    private void Awake()
    {
        _mainCamera = Camera.main;
        _dragging = true;
    }

    private void Update()
    {
        Debug.Log(_dragging);
        if (!_dragging) return;
        var mousePosition = _mainCamera.ScreenToWorldPoint(Input.mousePosition);
        transform.position = new Vector3(mousePosition.x, mousePosition.y, 0);
    }

    private void OnMouseDown()
    {
        _dragging = true;
    }

    private void OnMouseUp()
    {
        _dragging = false;
    }
}```

With this:
```public void AddObject(GameObject instance, bool isBackground)
  {
      gameManager.IncreaseObjectLayer();
      var mousePosition = Camera.main.ScreenToWorldPoint(Input.mousePosition);
      if (mousePosition == null) return;
      instance.transform.position = new Vector3(mousePosition.Value.x, mousePosition.Value.y, 0);
  }```
But idk Pointers are probably better

[fleet venture]

wdym Pointers?

like... c++ pointers?

[deft breach]

Sorry i meant Ipointers

[fleet venture]

ah

so not IDrag

[rocky canyon]

when i do Ipointers i dont use teh drag

i do ti manually..

i use the Down,, Enter, Exit, etc

just like the OnMouse ones.. but Interfaces instead

[fleet venture]

well now it doesnt do anything

the event doesnt work

maybe i forgot something

[grand snow]

Drag is doing the drag threshold for you and some other bits such as tracking the "dragged" object and allowing use of the drop event

[rocky canyon]

u know u can expand ur EventSystem too btw..

[rich adder]

did you use the 2D physics raycaster on the camera

[rocky canyon]

it shows important debug stuff too..

[fleet venture]

yes

[deft breach]

theres some good reference on the docs on IPoiunters: https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.0/Documentation/ScriptReference/UIElements.PointerDownEvent.html

[fleet venture]

it doesnt have an arrow

or XD do you mean adding extra events

[fleet venture]

i have this and the collider but

[rocky canyon]

it'll have a box below it once it goes into play mode

[rich adder]

this one is even better
https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.ugui@3.0/manual/SupportedEvents.html

[fleet venture]

oh didnt know that

wait how do you do that

is it a keybind?

[rocky canyon]

just select the event system

then play ->

[fleet venture]

ah

[rocky canyon]

its all the info about what the event system is seeing.. doing.. etc

[fleet venture]

well

[rich adder]

this doesnt work now

unity borked it with the new Input system

[grand snow]

This is broken and gives like 0 info with the new input system 😦

[rocky canyon]

aww 😭 really?

[rich adder]

you only get clicked events now when selected

[grand snow]

THANKS UNITY

[rocky canyon]

i didnt know it was broken now..

[fleet venture]

.-.

[rich adder]

new Input module is a disgrace

[grand snow]

lets wait for input system no 3

[fleet venture]

ye my teach er wanted us to use the old one

[rocky canyon]

(╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻

[rocky canyon]

thats good imo. i still rock the old one..

until i cant anymore lmao

[rich adder]

someone at unity : lets give them even less info

[rocky canyon]

you get a raise!

[rich adder]

brilliant

[fleet venture]

ok so any ideas why my drag events dont fire

[grand snow]

remember you need the correct raycaster for 3d/2d physics. Also CHECK THE LAYERS

[rich adder]

keep in mind the iPointer methods goes on the object with collider iirc

[fleet venture]

well im trying IBeginDragHandler, IEndDragHandler

but i have that

[rich adder]

show the full script

use links

[fleet venture]

links?

[grand snow]

eyy you need the physics 2d raycaster

[fleet venture]

ye thats on the camera

[grand snow]

also add a sprite cus the sorting is fucked without one

[fleet venture]

this is on the prefab

i have a sprite renderer if thats what you mean

[grand snow]

the sprite sorting layer will affect the raycast "layering" so make sure its above other colliders in the scene

[fleet venture]

its the only thing in the scene where im clicking

im clicking on this part

nothing is in front of it

or behind it

[rich adder]

you couldDebug the EventSystem raycast and see if something is blocking the ray

[grand snow]

hide your UI to be sure. Also try adding a rigidbody 2d too

[rich adder]

na raycasts dont need rigidbody just colliders

[grand snow]

ill check a project that uses 2d physics with the event system a lot i forget...

[fleet venture]

didnt fix it

wait do i need anything on my EventSystem object?

[rich adder]

input module and event system

[fleet venture]

ok i have those

[grand snow]

check this to

[fleet venture]

that says everything for me

[rocky canyon]

this is why i quit my UI/UX job 😈

[rich adder]

when in doubt Debug it

    [SerializeField] EventSystem eventSystem;
    [SerializeField] Physics2DRaycaster physics2DRaycaster;
    void Update()
    {
        PointerEventData pointerEventData = new PointerEventData(eventSystem);
        pointerEventData.position = Input.mousePosition;

        List<RaycastResult> results = new List<RaycastResult>();
        physics2DRaycaster.Raycast(pointerEventData, results);

        {
            Debug.Log("UI Hit: " + result.gameObject.name);
        }
    }```

[grand snow]

no idea then, I know this should work though so something must either be in the way or the script is in the wrong place

[rocky canyon]

create new scene -> make bare-bones ass example

get it working in that scene.. then u have a nice comparison

[fleet venture]

but thats double the work

[rocky canyon]

not really.. if its Investment into getting ur OG working..

[fleet venture]

and i doubt i can get it to work in there but ill try

[rocky canyon]

it'd def make things simpler.. just use 1 image. 1 canvas 1 of everything

no clutter lol

[rich adder]

try printing whats hitting
#💻┃code-beginner message

[fleet venture]

where do i put that tho

in what script

[rocky canyon]

yall got this 👍 coffee break ☕

[rich adder]

any script, can even be a new one

just reference correct components by drag n drop

plop event system and 2d raycaster in there

[fleet venture]

ok not apparnelty

a prefab doesnt work

💀

[rich adder]

well no.. put it on something in the scene why did you put it on a prefab

prefab should not reference scene components

[fleet venture]

because i want it in every instance

i hate that you cant do that

[rich adder]

why would you want many instances of a raycast for testing

[fleet venture]

i dont in this case

[rich adder]

you only need 1 script to test the raycaster on

[fleet venture]

why

why is this ui

[rich adder]

there you go

[rocky canyon]

whoa where do u see that??

[rich adder]

armchair is hitting

[rocky canyon]

wtf ui is that

[fleet venture]

this is rider

i have the unity logs opened in rider

[rocky canyon]

ohh thats awesome that u get those logs in rider

[fleet venture]

i lack space in unity

[rich adder]

well UI is misleading comment but yes its hitting whatever that collider is

[fleet venture]

so then why is the event not firing

[fleet venture]

ye

i can also have it like this

[rich adder]

thats what debugging is for. At least now you know the Physics raycaster is working

[fleet venture]

ye

so the event system isnt

[frigid sequoia]

Can I not see the data stored in a Dictionary from the editor? Do I have to like convert it into 2 List or something?

[rich adder]

it is, otherwise you wont see these events

[grand snow]

yes dictionary cannot be serialized

[fleet venture]

oh

[rich adder]

nested struct

[cosmic dagger]

Nope. You need to use a custom property drawer or the many serializeable dictionaries online . . .

[fleet venture]

so then why does IBeginDragHandler not work

oh

omg

im so dum

[rich adder]

🥁

[fleet venture]

let me test

ok that seems to be fixed

but now i cant drag it out of the UI again

its behind it tho

how do i fix that?

is it with sorting layers?

[grand snow]

the 2d physics stuff cannot be "over" the UI unless you use a canvas in world

[rich adder]

you should be able to use Screen Space camera then drag camera inside and figure out the correct number

[fleet venture]

oh i cant?

[rich adder]

it can

[fleet venture]

so sorting layers or how do i do it

[rich adder]

i just told you how

if you scroll up twice you will see it

[fleet venture]

ye you just said to figure out the correct number

like number of what

[rich adder]

the plane distance

[fleet venture]

like the z transform?

[grand snow]

it shouldn't be possible with overlay canvases but the other modes i presume can

[rich adder]

the whole point of ScreenSpace - Camera is it takes into account world pos

[grand snow]

well yea that is what i thought

[fleet venture]

ok and where do i put screenspace

none of the values have it as an option

[rich adder]

tbh I have tested it with renderers and sorting Meshes infront of UI elements, but idk if it works with colliders

go into Canvas, set it to ScreenSpace -Camera

[fleet venture]

i mean it also has a spriterenderer

ah the canva

[rich adder]

sprite renderer is just mesh

[fleet venture]

ah it was on overlay

well it renders it correctly so thats somethiing

ye that works

[rich adder]

nicee

[fleet venture]

so how do i set you dragging an object

like i create the prefab

but then i need to set the player grabbing it

[rich adder]

Instantiate returns copy of the object

[fleet venture]

so they dont have to click twice

[rich adder]

so you can do like
var myDraggable = Instantiate(etc. myDraggable.followMouse = true

[fleet venture]

oh but

i no longer have the variable

[deft breach]

Bro i found the reason why the old OnMouseUp wasnt working:
you have to add this to the start of update:
if (Input.GetMouseButtonUp(0)) { OnMouseUp();}
I tried it myself and everything works perfectly but without the events:
if u want i can send u the old scripts again @fleet venture

[rich adder]

how is it following mouse?

[fleet venture]

i just have this now

public void OnDrag(PointerEventData eventData)
    {
        var mousePosition = _mainCamera.ScreenToWorldPoint(Input.mousePosition);
        transform.position = new Vector3(mousePosition.x, mousePosition.y, 0);
    }```

sorry for the syntax

ther

[rich adder]

ahh.. on drag.

why ?

[fleet venture]

but now i am doing it thru events

[rich adder]

I would switch it back to a bool

[fleet venture]

you sure?

[rich adder]

100%

[fleet venture]

this sounds like it was more meant to be used

[rich adder]

Moving in Update following is very common

especially if you dont want this double click weirdness

[fleet venture]

doesnt work with public void OnEndDrag(PointerEventData eventData)
{
_dragging = false;
Debug.Log("OnEndDrag");
}

[rich adder]

no

OnPointerDown => mouseFollow = true
OnPointerUp => mouseFollow = false

Update
if(mouseFollow)
myObj.position = mousePos```

[fleet venture]

or do i use the Ipointer now

[rich adder]

this way you can set mouseFollow from another script too

[fleet venture]

this is the original that didnt work

[rich adder]

if OnDrag works , it will work, just make it more simple with less bools than whatever you did before

[fleet venture]

if i add this tho it does

no but this ondrag is with events

so do i use IPointer?

[rich adder]

this is literally a general mouseDown event, it doesnt care if its on the collider or not

also wrong

[fleet venture]

no this was the original code it did not work

[rich adder]

You should never be calling Monobehavior methods manually

OnMouseUp would be properly called when it releases from a collider

[fleet venture]

what is wrong

no its only called if you also have a mouse down for some reason

this is my original code

that did not work

[rich adder]

forget the original code

[fleet venture]

but your code is the same

[rich adder]

no its not

[fleet venture]

OnPointerDown

what is that

[rich adder]

that is from the Event System

not the MB class

[fleet venture]

AH

ok

thats what i was confused about

[rocky canyon]

are we getting anywhere guys?

[rich adder]

yes we're in step 2

[rocky canyon]

noice

[fleet venture]

i bet this wont work

[rich adder]

scrapp OnDrag for Uppate mouse follow so bool can be set on spawn, this way object spawns following mouse

[rich adder]

I bet it does

[fleet venture]

yep doesnt work

[rocky canyon]

i bet on nav

[fleet venture]

i release my mouse button

and it still drags

[rich adder]

mate before you yap away it doesnt work

[fleet venture]

untill i click again

[rich adder]

show what you wrote

[fleet venture]

ok

[rich adder]

just like me telling you Screenspace -Camera wouldnt solve UI blocking colliders ?

[fleet venture]

https://paste.ofcode.org/QEcgraLyvrPucMP39vyPiM

[fleet venture]

no that works

[rich adder]

so then be patient and actually listen to the instructions correct , it will work

done this 100s of times..

[fleet venture]

okay sorry

youre right

[rich adder]

ok so put logs inside the methods make sure those are being detected

is it on the same object with OnDrag was ?

[fleet venture]

they are because if i then click it releases

this works just not when dragging from ui

[rich adder]

wdym by this

[deft breach]

Just add if (Input.GetMouseButtonUp(0)) { _dragging = false;} at the start of your Update and it will release

[fleet venture]

ye this will fix it

but nav said its bad

[deft breach]

ok then

[rich adder]

No i said Manually calling OnMouseDown is bad

[rich adder]

explain whats happening

[deft breach]

i agree that was stupid

[rich adder]

is it just not releasing ? then yes you just need to set bool back to false obv..

[rocky canyon]

if im understanding u click an original object and then u spawn in a NEWER object..

[fleet venture]

ah okay

[rocky canyon]

that was never had ondown or w/e called

[rich adder]

yup

[rocky canyon]

so onup doesnt get called until u click down again

u might need to call ondown maually

on ur new object

[fleet venture]

ye

[rich adder]

UI icon spawns the prefab thats supposed to follow

[fleet venture]

thats what happens

[rocky canyon]

so that onup will be called

[fleet venture]

ye but i thought calling the events yourself is bad

[rocky canyon]

PointerEventData eventData = new PointerEventData(EventSystem.current);
eventData.position = Input.mousePosition;
newSpriteGameObject.GetComponent<YourDragHandler>().OnPointerDown(eventData);```

[rich adder]

you dont need those though cause you're already holding

[rocky canyon]

something like this to manually call the OnPointerDown or w/e

[fleet venture]

should i just try this?

[rocky canyon]

ya but i think he uses hte Orignal icon as a button and spawns in a new object (the new object was never OnDowned on.. the original was)

[rich adder]

you grabbed the item your mouse should already be down..
all you need is the MouseUp event from the Input itself

[fleet venture]

yep
thats whats happenign

[rich adder]

new object has a bool set through a method on instantiate

[fleet venture]

ye but that MouseUp event isnt getting called

[rich adder]

thats why we switched away from OnDrag

[fleet venture]

i checked that with debug.log

[rocky canyon]

oh i didnt see that

[deft breach]

why not its one line if it works it works if it doesnt it doesnt

[rich adder]

what MouseUpp ?

[fleet venture]

OnPointerUP i mean

[rich adder]

You dont need OnPointerUp..

[rocky canyon]

i remember doing something like this.. where another script takes over.. i had to pass the new object into the EventSystem

[fleet venture]

what

i do though

thats the event

[rich adder]

no you need the left mouse button released..

to restore the bool to false

[fleet venture]

you literally told me to use it here i thought

[rich adder]

yes and you said it working no?

[fleet venture]

nope

if (Input.GetMouseButtonUp(0)) { _dragging = false;}
with this it works

[deft breach]

great

[rich adder]

hows it not working

[fleet venture]

it doesnt call the up event

[rich adder]

so it is working as In its following

bro ur confusing everything

just because one part doesnt work doesnt mean the whole thing aint working

[fleet venture]

https://paste.ofcode.org/385muzFnP2cceDebSzx9L2E this code just works

[rich adder]

just say, Yes its working EXCEPT its not releasing

[north walrus]

are autoproperties like this

[field: SerializeField]
public int Age { get; set; }

the best approach for fields that could need custom get; set implementation?

[rich adder]

this way we know yes all you needed was flag to false

[rich adder]

#💻┃code-beginner message

stop saying "it doesnt work"

[fleet venture]

this code does EVERYTHING

[rich adder]

"it doesnt work" implies the whole thing is not working

SO IT WWAS WORKING IT WAS JUST NOT RELEASING

[fleet venture]

well the dragging part has been working from the start

[rich adder]

jesus christ

[fleet venture]

ok but ive been saying that the whole time

[rich adder]

you just sauy "doesnt work"

[fleet venture]

like here

dont get mad at me

[rich adder]

after we switched to new code

I'm not mad mate lol

[fleet venture]

ok

[deft breach]

man if it works that fine so its done here right?

[rich adder]

im just telling you to be more specific next time

[fleet venture]

i will be

and yes it now fully works

[deft breach]

we can all be happy now

[fleet venture]

well

sort of

[rocky canyon]

    // used via button events
    public void UnfocusEventSystem()
    {
        SettingsMenuEventSystem.SetSelectedGameObject(null);
    }``` i was way off track.. i was thinking the event system was losing the reference.. or referencing the *last* object.. not the newer draggable one..

was gonna suggest feeding the new object into the event system as Last Selected

[fleet venture]

just one thing

[rocky canyon]

but u kno.. im not the brightest crayon in the box

[rich adder]

nahh the initial event was never initilized by OnBeginDrag

or any of that

[rocky canyon]

i got it now 🙂

[fleet venture]

is there a way to get the pixels inside of the object where you clicked

[rocky canyon]

Phew..

[fleet venture]

like if i click entirely left of the boject i get 0

and if i click entirely right i get like 100

ye Because rn it always centers the object when you click on it

but i only need to move it by the delta

so i need that offset

[red igloo]

So in unity I am making a fps horror game. You can look around with the mouse and to move instead of moving by using your keyboard you move by clicking where you want to go so click to move. I have a issue where when I either repeatedly click at the max click distance or just click a bit close to me instead of the player going to the place where I last clicked the player will just keep moving until I stop clicking which I don't want.

Script (Sorry is the coding is garbage XD) : https://paste.ofcode.org/FP6zGBS2sFdPBnhqyLZrvX

https://streamable.com/3988zv

[rich adder]

thats easy

simple math

[grand snow]

you can get the offset from click pos to object pos and keep that offset when moving it

[fleet venture]

ye but how do i get the offset?

ye but how do i get the clickpos, thats what im asking

[rich adder]

you literally have it already

[fleet venture]

oh wait

same as in drag

ye

[rich adder]

ScreenToWorldPoint

[rocky canyon]

when ur First click... cache that clicked position..

instead of constantly updating it..

when u release u'll be able to cache the next clicked position

[copper prism]

Good evening. Who has a normal code for moving the character right-left with a jump. I just can't get a normal result. The maximum that I could get is that the character jumps only on certain platforms and that's all
in a 2D platform

[wintry quarry]

There is no such thing as "a normal code". Every game is different.

If you are having trouble with your code feel free to share the details of your problem and people may be able to help you.

[copper prism]

My problem is that the character jumps only on 3 blocks. The rest of them don't.

[rich adder]

show code

whats "ODA platforms "

Guys, I dont know what is wrong with this code, But i'm pretty sure i've written this right, for it to dash, or ATLEAST move. It just modifies the X velocity of the Rigidbody, and It even modifies (or so it shows in the console) but the velocity doesnt change in the Inspector. It registers the input, but doesnt perform the dash. Pls Help TwT

hard to say without seeing your other code but most likely your other code is simply overwriting the velocity rendering your dash code useless

[deft breach]

do you have some crazy friction on Physics Materials maybe?

[grizzled current]

Yea, true. I'll take another look and report

[grizzled current]

No 🥲

[frigid sequoia]

Pretty sure you would rather use AddForce in impulse mode

Just straigh up setting velocity makes it interact very poorly with the rest of physics

[wintry quarry]

the problem is the main movement code is setting the velocity probably - but he didn't show it

[deft breach]

then its probably some other script yeah

[grizzled current]

I feel so stupid. You guys were right, The main "movement" func was called on every frame, which resets the velocity to zero. Thanks a lot tho, I feel relieved lol

[rocky canyon]

use debug logs more often then u even think u should

[grizzled current]

Yea, I really should. Thnx a lot, everyone

[rich adder]

you are mixing transform position setting with rigidbody movement, this is bad

also yes post code properly #💻┃code-beginner message

[cerulean badger]

How do I put a method and/or a list of methods in the inspector just like this?

[rich adder]

You mean like a list of delegates? idk wat you mean put methods in inspector

what do you want to do exactly? whats the end goal here

[cerulean badger]

i have some methods for movement, like dash, jump, etc, and I wanted to change the Input Sequence from Attack Data to a list of methods that needs to be done to the attack to be triggered

[rich adder]

I would use scriptable object

[cosmic dagger]

Create an SO with the method and its parameters as fields. Make a list of SOs and drag them in . . .

[cerulean badger]

that's what I'm doing with the Attack Data, and I want to add the method list into it

The SO is just a wrapper for your method(s) . . .

[rich adder]

no like each time you do an action you compare it with that scriptable object to one in list of attack data

[simple vine]

theres 2 how do i fix it

[rich adder]

so you have your DeshSO that you use when you dash

and compare it if its part of the attack data list of SOs

[rich adder]

from this video alone we are supposed to guess? not happening

[simple vine]

wydm

[rich adder]

what is this video supposed to tell us ?

there is two, great.

how's that help anyone help you ?

[rich adder]

this is pretty bad transform.position = Vector3.MoveTowards(transform.position, transform.position + dir, speed * Time.deltaTime);

you should not be moving like this with a rigidbody

[cerulean badger]

so I get a SO containing the methods to dash and stuff, and then I compare if these methods are being called in another script so I can land the attack?

[copper prism]

Can you create a good cood or fix Bad pretty

[rich adder]

you gotta fix it, its pretty simple at least for that line. you already have the rigidbody referenced with rb. use the same thing you did for jump but x axis instead

[copper prism]

Ok. Thax

[rich adder]

like if you have a SO for Dash, its the same one from the List in Attack Data, but you are creating/using the one referenced on Dash move and putting it in another list to compare the list on Attack Data

[simple vine]

there only meant to be 1 not 2

[rich adder]

yes we understand that

[simple vine]

so how do i fix it

[rich adder]

use common sense for a second..

[cerulean badger]

oh so in Attack Data, I make a list of SOs instead of a list of methods directly, right?

[simple vine]

do i need to change anything

[rich adder]

do you think this video tells use WHY its happening ?

[simple vine]

i just send a photo

[rich adder]

this isn't enough

[simple vine]

how its all the info

the depth make it does it but i need it

[rich adder]

why didn you just say you were trying to do a camera stack..

jesus

[simple vine]

i never done a camera stack

[rich adder]

anyway just separate the layers and use culling

[simple vine]

how

[rich adder]

aren't you following a tutorial or something?

[simple vine]

what tutorial

[rich adder]

so you're just guessing your way ?

[rich adder]

yup exactly

make the list match the sequence you want

if both lists match then you're good, or you can check when it goes wrong while adding elements to list, then do whatever depending on behavior you want

[cerulean badger]

ok then, thx

[rich adder]

Camera1. Remove WeaponLayer from it
Camera2. Remove all layers except WeaponLayer

[sand snow]

im trying to insantiate a UI text that says "achievement unlocked" when i reach a certain score, my problem is that when i instantiate the gameObject it doesnt show in my UI

i think its because im putting the postion in incorrectly, how do i make it show on the canvas and not the camera

[shy axle]

My input action looks like this. How can I detect specifically left being pressed down? Something like ```cs
input.actions["Move"].["WASD"].["Left"].started += ctx =>

[rich adder]

if(myInput.x < 0)

btw you should generate the c# class

using strings is ugly

[shy axle]

I don't mind it

[rich adder]

lol ok

[shy axle]

how

[rich adder]

go to the input action asset, in the inspector tick the Generate C# class checkbox

give it a name that isn't taken

then you can use actual type safety properties

Awake () myInputs = new()
OnEnable() myInputs.Enable()
OnDisable() myInputs.Disable()
myInputs.Player.Move etc..

[shy axle]

and what is myInputs?

[sand snow]

does anyone know how to instantiate a UI element onto the canvas and not the camera

[rich adder]

the variable for the class you generate from the Input actions

eg

so private MyInputs myInputs

obv make a better name but dont take ones unity made already like PlayerInput

[shy axle]

lmfao wrong pic 😂

[rich adder]

thats a garbage name for example

[shy axle]

yeah

is there a way to change it

[rich adder]

I had weird luck changing it

make the changes and hit apply and hopefully it works

otherwise try re-generate after you delete the old class

the class shouldn't be touched after, since each time an action map save is made it updates it

[void dawn]

Hey dumb question but I have some low poly textures I wanna use but they all look blurry , anyway I can fix that ?

[rich adder]

this is a code channel

[lament harness]

nav its just settings like toggle fullscreen and quality

[rich adder]

so just for the ingame?

[lament harness]

yea

[rich adder]

or permanent between sessions

[lament harness]

perma

between sessions

[rich adder]

PlayerPrefs should be acceptable

[lament harness]

yea im trying to use them but idk how to for toggles

[rich adder]

store them as int

[shy axle]

I cant come up with another one lol

[rich adder]

then use ternary

[shy axle]

maybe movementInput

when do people mostly use camel case?

[rich adder]

well action asset can contain multiple action maps

You can do MyPlayerInputs or something

idk

[rich adder]

when its a private variable

[lament harness]

yea ive done this bit

[rich adder]

so whats problem ?

you can also group them together with a struct then json string it

that will take care of not having to do each setting seperate

[lament harness]

public void SetFullscreen(bool isFullscreen)
{
Screen.fullScreen = isFullscreen;
PlayerPrefs.SetInt("fullscreen", isFullscreen ? 1 : 0);
PlayerPrefs.Save();

i have this

right now

how do i like

[rich adder]

yeah so its not working or what?

[lament harness]

make it save between sessiosn

[rich adder]

just load the value back

put it where you need it

[lament harness]

because its always toggled

when i go to settings

[rich adder]

this is probably also the worst thing to test in the editor btw lol

since you can't really fullscreen it

[rich adder]

you have to test a build to see if its saving and loading the fullscreen thing correctly

otherwise you have to test something else that works in editor

quality setting might work I suppose

[lament harness]

how do i do it

with quality

[rich adder]

isn't it QualitySettings.SetQualityLevel ?

https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.0/Documentation/ScriptReference/QualitySettings.SetQualityLevel.html

[solid jay]

Hey
I want to create a free cam. The problem is that it Clamps the x rotation to 90 and - 90 and I dont know why, since it doesnt do this for the y rotation but its the same Code

Code:
https://pastebin.com/HkJ8u1HH

[rich adder]

this look cursed transform.localEulerAngles +=

[solid jay]

well I first did it with tranform.rotate but that didnt work at all

[rich adder]

You should manually touch the eulerAngles

Rotate wants specific amount to rotate by

you can aslo just transform.rotation = quaternion.euler

either way you should clamp sepearate floats then pass those

[swift crag]

Yes, it's easiest to just store the yaw and pitch values in fields

and to then set the rotation based on those

[solid jay]

I dont want to clamp them, they the x-axis is but I dont want that

[rich adder]

oh so you don't want clamp

[solid jay]

yes but it does it on the x-axis

[rich adder]

then just rotate without clamp just dont manually touch the euler angles cause you're experiencing gimbal lock
the angles are really meant to stay between -180 / 180
the inspector is just...a special case..where its done internally

[shrewd gazelle]

Hey guys this might be a bit iof a confusing question but Ill try to make it as clear as possible so I made a public bool called isclimbing in my player script and then inside the ladder script I refrenced the player and then accesed the bool by doing _player.isclimbing and then now I added a box collider to the ladder and added a script to it and trying to aceesss the bool I tried doing the same thing that I did in the ladder script but it didnt work so i assumed you can only refrecne from another script one in a prefap so Im trying to acess the isclimbing bool to the cube game object script that I added to the ladder prefap you guys know what I should do and if any clarification you guys ant let me know becuase I am going crazy on this I dont want the day to end without me finishing this😭

[frosty hound]

First of all use punctuation, that's barely readable.

Secondly, to get the bool off an object, you need a reference to that object. If your box has a collider on it, you can have it do it's own OnCollisionEnter check for the player and react accordingly.

But really, your ladder should not be the one deciding on logic, it should be told what to do. The player should be the one determining if it's in range to use a ladder or not, and if the player interacts with it, then the player should tell the ladder it's being used (and thus, it can react accordingly).

[shrewd gazelle]

So all the logic is inside player the only thing in the ladder happening is if the player press e the bool turns on and then the player handles everything . And then whe you said you need a reference is it possible to get a reference on the box collider again because for some reason it worked on the ladder script but in the box colider script it wouldnt work I assumed you can only reference from a script one time per game object in prefab but Im a beginner so I was just guessing

Oh mb no ping forgot

[frosty hound]

What's the purpose of the box collider?

And no, any number of objects can reference the same object

[rich adder]

you dont need any logic to run from box collider / ladder.

[shrewd gazelle]

So when the player climbes and the box collider come up from the ground and wait for the player to go down if the player goes down and hits it with their leg the box collider will make the player let go of the ladder and the box will hide again

[rich adder]

just identify that you entered a Ladder trigger

[shrewd gazelle]

If it dosnet make sense Ill try to reexplain

[rich adder]

which box collider are you referring to?

the box collider come up from the ground

[shrewd gazelle]

Its attached to the ladder so when the player starts the invicible box collider is hiding under the ground the player starts climbing it goes up a little bit waiting for the player to go down if the player goes down and hits it its make the player let go and the collider goes under the ground again

Its attached to the ladder prefab

[rich adder]

so its just the bottom of ladder has a box collider but not on ladder?

[shrewd gazelle]

yes

[rich adder]

that seem strange

are you putting one for the top too ?

[shrewd gazelle]

Yah thats something ill work on later

[rich adder]

oh okay so whats not working? can you also show code

and I guess you can only go up and down, not side to side?

[shrewd gazelle]

this is the ladder

how tf do you want me to do it using tranform.rotate I dont know all these Rotation kinds and how to use them. havent rlly used them. What do I have at the moment Quaternion right? and tranform.rotate uses Euler?

[shrewd gazelle]

Nav excuse me I gotta do something now do you mind if I comeback in like an hour will you be here

[rich adder]

just repost your issue and someone will be here if not me

by showing code + screenshots too b

[rich adder]

Rotate uses euler yea but probably not what you want since that moves by specific amount and not at set angles

t.rotation = Quaternion.Euler still uses eulers but you can set specific angles to object

if you dont want that but just continuous rotation then use rotate

[tulip stag]

So, I turned one of my interfaces into a monobehaviour; and I need to go back and edit every single one of the many, MANY inherits to remove every variable that's being implicitly inherited. I'm just wondering, is there a quick and easy way of doing so? Sooooo many scripts 😭

[rocky canyon]

dont recompile until u do a big chunk of them :P\

navigate thru them via the IDE

[rich adder]

why from Interface to MB anyway

[cosmic dagger]

My question is: why the change from MonoBehaviour to Interface?

[rocky canyon]

u can right-click and rename to mass-edit

not sure it'll work in ur case but helpful to kno

[tulip stag]

It shouldn't have been an interface in the first place, I was confused with when to use interfaces 😔

[cold elbow]

i have an object colliding with another object but when I try to detect their collision it doesn't, what could be the problem

[rich adder]

oh okay, so whatever property they inherit from their parent if its not different remove it from child class?

[tulip stag]

This is me reaping what I've sown (not reading the documentation before going ah! that's it! this should be an interface!)

[twin bolt]

I have this code here which is meant to check if the door is closed or open. Issue is, the ClosedROT = -90, but angle difference is at 120, so it doesnt think the door is closed even though it is. ``` Quaternion closedRotation = Quaternion.Euler(0, ClosedROT, 0);

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

    if (angleDifference <= 2f || angleDifference >= 358f)
    {
        if(open)
        {
            GetComponent<Rigidbody>().isKinematic = true;
            ClosingSound.Play();
            open = false;
        }
    }
    else
    {
        if (!open && !Controller.GetComponent<DragDoor>().isDragging)
        {
            GetComponent<Rigidbody>().isKinematic = false;
            OpeningSound.Play();
            open = true;
        }
    }```

[tulip stag]

I think?
I need to go through every child class and remove the properties it inherited from their parent, which are duplicated now

[robust otter]

guys do you maybe know why the guy is teleporting and running away from the ball i have ai navigation.

its like the animation keeps replaying and he runs away

[rich adder]

yea

dont know if there is a bulk way to remove that from different files

[rich adder]

from this image alone ?

The Three Commandments of OnCollision:
Thou Shalt have a Collider on each object
Thou Shalt untick isTrigger on them
Thou Shalt be moving via a Rigidbody on at least one of them

[cerulean badger]

I've seen people make customized groupings like what we see here in Advanced Settings inside their scripts, organizing several variables and stuff. I want to know how do I do this, becuz I cant find it on internet

[rich adder]

this is a piss poor way to keep track state of door
you should keep a universal truth / bool for the state of the door and not rely on magical numbers

[tulip stag]

Omg. Figured out a good way.

[rocky canyon]

OnTrigger is similar:

The Three Commandments of OnTriggerEnter:
Thou Shalt have a Collider on each object
Thou Shalt tick isTrigger on atleast one of them
Thou Shalt be moving via a Rigidbody on at least one of them

[rocky canyon]

https://dbrizov.github.io/na-docs/attributes/meta_attributes/foldout.html

[rich adder]

lookup foldout

[tulip stag]

In case anyone else finds themselves in the same predicament as I:
If your interface is similar enough, Ctrl F ~> Replace (in entire solution) is a pretty decent quick fix. Just make sure you have a back up of your parent script because it's gonna delete it on your parent script too

[cold elbow]

Thanks bro, it actually worked

[robust otter]

I mean when I turned off the animation it followed the ball perfectly but as soon as I put the animation back it bugs out

[rocky canyon]

thank Digiholic.. they're his 3 Commandments.. posts them everywhere he goes 😈

[solid jay]

this just locks the camera from rotating even when adding the current rotation on top

[rich adder]

most likely the animator is overriding the transforms

two components fighting for control over transform

never a good mix

[robust otter]

Ok

Okay

• Base Object (main movement (code or something on this object)

that way u can move the base object w/o screwing up the animation on the graphics

and vice-versa

ohgod

why are you doing thistransform.rotation.x inside a euler

rotation returns a quaternion

quaternion values clamp at 1

don't use quaternion vals

[solid jay]

then can you please tell me how i should do it

[rich adder]

something like

  currentYRotation += mouseX * rotationSpeed * Time.deltaTime;
transform.rotation = Quaternion.Euler(0, currentYRotation, 0);```
etc

[rocky canyon]

    void HandleRotation()
    {
        float turnInput = Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal");
        float rotationAmount = turnInput * TurnSpeed * Time.fixedDeltaTime;
        Quaternion turnRotation = Quaternion.Euler(0,rotationAmount,0);
        transform.rotation = transform.rotation * turnRotation;
    }```etc

rb.AddTorque(rotationThrust * Time.deltaTime,ForceMode2D.Force);

[hasty dragon]

i tried making a character with the character controller component, i added gravity and the character does fall, but the collision doesnt touch the ground

[rich adder]

* Time.deltaTime in AddForce/Torque ?

[rocky canyon]

ya, its gross lol

[rocky canyon]

thats normal..

[rich adder]

it does

[rocky canyon]

its the skin of the collider

[rich adder]

ur just seeing the skin

[hasty dragon]

ohhhh so thats what skin is

[hasty dragon]

yeah i saw it, why is it so high by default?

[rich adder]

yes you want to keep it fairly decent so you don't clip into stuff

[rocky canyon]

i keep its defaults

[hasty dragon]

oh

[rocky canyon]

as a first person char u cant tell..

it helps w/ things

[rich adder]

it helps smooth out collision with different heights

[hasty dragon]

im making a third person game, the map is in a building

[rocky canyon]

.08 is a pretty fair value

[hasty dragon]

so it doesnt matter i think

[rocky canyon]

u can probably go to .25 if u want

[rich adder]

the player is not gonna see the collider tho.

[rocky canyon]

.025*

[rich adder]

you can shift the mesh child however offset you want from the ground

plus use things like IK for feet to make illusion of touching ground completely

[rocky canyon]

its that prototype code.. mb..

u could easily change it to fixed.. or just omit all together if it was in fixedUpdate like it should be

i dont have many rb's laying around lol i will fix that right now tho so more copypasta later on isnt so brackeys

[rich adder]

i just know that addforce already accounts for Time.fixedDeltaTime no ?

or maybe I misread

[rocky canyon]

i done it right elsewhere. lol

🤦

[rocky canyon]

it does.. if its in fixedupdate

[rich adder]

ohh okay

[rocky canyon]

even the deltaTime accounts for it

if its in the fixedupdate loop

some c# guru learned me that not too long ago

[rocky canyon]

it got garbled up with my fuel code

[hasty dragon]

do i need to reinstall cinemachine to every new project?

[rocky canyon]

which does rely on time.deltaTime

goood catch

[rocky canyon]

yes. unless u use a template that already includes it

[rocky canyon]

fixed it

[lost haven]

Hey guys! I'm new in game deving stuff so i need your help. I'm using unity and now im stuck. I have a code, that spawns prefab on "CounterTopPoint" . The code itself works but the visual seems to be offset and doesnt appear on the "CounterTopPoint". Can you please share how to fix that?

[rocky canyon]

show the instantiation code

[lost haven]

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

public class ClearCounter : MonoBehaviour {

[SerializeField] private Transform tomatoPrefab;
[SerializeField] private Transform CounterTopPoint;

public void Interact() {
    Debug.Log("Interact!");
    Transform tomatoTransform = Instantiate(tomatoPrefab,CounterTopPoint);
}

}

[rocky canyon]

make sure ur prefab doesn't have an offset from any of the child objects

if they have any

//send small code like this
//from now on

` not '

[robust otter]

mb for the ping but i got it working. it turns out when i downloaded the animation from mixamo i didnt check the box 'in place' now it works

[rocky canyon]

root motion probs

[robust otter]

nah i had it off

it was just the animations fault

[rocky canyon]

lol.. poor animator

[robust otter]

😊

[rocky canyon]

but if its not in place its root motion.

the animator was in charge of moving the transform.. which some ppl like..

i doo not

[lost haven]

the hierarchy looks like this after interacting counter and spawning tomato

[twin bolt]

Whats the best way to check if a objects rotation equals a float?

[rocky canyon]

simple == would result in an approximation..

[rocky canyon]

you mean if one of the properties = a float?

.x etc

[twin bolt]

Yes the .y

[rocky canyon]

float valueToCompare = transform.rotation.eulerAngles.y;

or transform.localRotation.eulerAngles.y;

[twin bolt]

I was told before to not read euler angles.

[rocky canyon]

then compare that

reading them is fine.. even manipulating them is fine too if u know what ur doing..

if ur intending on comparing to a float.. ur observing its EulerAngles anyway

[twin bolt]

okay thanks

[coral cape]

I have a empty gameobject with a script on it that should be spawning objects all around my canvas, it does spawn copys as I see them in the heirarchy but I cant seem to ever see them in game, I've messed with layers, ordering of the heirarchy, and what object I attach my script too to no avail. Some of that might make no sense I'm sorry lol, I'm new and confused

[rocky canyon]

select one and press F while hovering ur scene-view

you'll see where it is.

we need more info as well.. the prefab ur spawning what is it? UI component?
the code that spawns it.. what values are they using?

[marble turret]

Is there a way to require a serialized/exposed field in the inspector to accept instances of scriptable objects that implement a certain interface?

[rocky canyon]

do the values in the objects transform/rect transform match what u expect.. or logged..

[rocky canyon]

u figure that out and let me know.. as ive been trying to figure out if i could drop in my IInteractable interfaces

ive had to expose a gameobject instead

[coral cape]

Ive found them ouside the canvas earlier, but I've dialed them into be within the screen, still just no visibility
The UI component question confuses me, I dragged the image from my project files into my heirarchy.
And this is the code:

Thank you for ur help!

[rocky canyon]

if its an image u need to set its position w/ its rectTransform

as the transforms are not the same.. as for example a 2d sprite.. (which basically operates within worldspace)

[cosmic dagger]

@rocky canyon Try `[SerializeReference] and vertx's SerializeReferenceDropdown. I can't remember if it works for interfaces or just derived classes . . .

[rocky canyon]

RectTransform newUIElement = Instantiate(yourUIElementPrefab).GetComponent<RectTransform>();
newUIElement.anchoredPosition = newPosition;

i wonder what that would do @coral cape ^

        Vector2 newPosition = new Vector2(
            Random.Range(-canvasRectTransform.rect.width / 2, canvasRectTransform.rect.width / 2), 
            Random.Range(-canvasRectTransform.rect.height / 2, canvasRectTransform.rect.height / 2)
        );``` would spawn them across the entire canvas if its scaling correctly

[hasty dragon]

where is the or thingy on the keyboard

im on qwerty

[marble turret]

Sadly, this doesn't work for instances of scriptable objects. I have a similar one (https://github.com/mackysoft/Unity-SerializeReferenceExtensions), but it suffers from the same fate 😦

[coral cape]

I'm afraid I'm confused lol, I really am trying, I just dont understand where I would put that in my code?
This is it when running, it shows 5 clones on the left side as it should spawn 5

I've been messing with what you sent and getting errors with "-canvasRectTransform", am I supposed to be "using" a lib at the start? I only have "using UnityEngine;" rn

[rocky canyon]

what about POCO Interfaces?

[twin bolt]

MY float could be -90, so it would cause issues.

[wintry quarry]

If you're trying to do UI your comment says SpriteRenderer which would not be a UI object, just fyi

Also any UI element would need to be Instantiated as a child of a Canvas to actually show up

[rocky canyon]

canvasRectTransform.. is the Rect Transform of ur Canvas (the ones the orb clones should be on)

right now ur spawning them (outside) the canvas... which would be world space..

UI's use a different system

for example my little icon here is UI / under a canvas.. it has a Z position of 0

which is clearly different.. than what a 0 position (in the world is typically) which is center of the world

these are using rectTransformComponent.anchorPosition = as well.. and not transform.position =

firstly you'll want to instantiate them as children of a canvas (if they are UI components.. which ur Orb that u have selected in ur screenshot is) i think since its under the canvas

[rocky canyon]

public class DONTCOPYME: MonoBehaviour
{
    public GameObject uiPrefab; // Your ORB
    public RectTransform canvasRectTransform; // The RectTransform of the Canvas

    void Start()
    {
        // Instantiate the UI element as a child of the Canvas
        GameObject SpawnedUIELEMENT = Instantiate(uiPrefab, canvasRectTransform);
        Vector2 randomPosition = new Vector2(Random.Range(-400, 100), Random.Range(-400, 100));
        SpawnedUIELEMENT.GetComponent<RectTransform>().anchoredPosition = randomPosition;
    }
}```

also im a bit confused.. b/c it seems u got a little bity world down there in the corner. is this spawning stuff game-play? game-play should usually be done in world space.. if u r dealing w/ canvas it should be for display/ui stuff only

evil orb has me thinking a bit..

[willow breach]

Hey, Im trying to use DOTween for the first time but it's not working...
I have a 2d square prefab with this
transform.DOMoveX(100, 1);
a log is being printed before so i know it's getting there but nothing happnes.. no error either
am i missing something? in the tutorials it doesnt seem like there is a step up and on their doc it seem ineed to do DOTween.Init(); but there is not .Init() in using DG.Tweening
🙏

[twin bolt]

Why isnt this working? Tolerance = 2 ``` Quaternion currentRotation = transform.rotation;

    // Preserve the current X and Z rotation, but set Y to ClosedRot
    Quaternion targetRotation = Quaternion.Euler(currentRotation.x, ClosedROT, currentRotation.z);

    // Get the shortest difference between current and target rotation
    float angleDifference = Quaternion.Angle(currentRotation, targetRotation);

    // Check if within tolerance
    if (angleDifference <= tolerance)```

[coral cape]

That all makes sense, i think lol, I def have a lot to look into, and yeah the evil orb is gameplay, I was confused what I was even doing when I went to scene and saw everything crunched in the corner lol. Just confused between things that seem the same but are clearly different in reference, will put a photo on the screen in any way I can then get confused how to manipulate it when I probably didn't add it right.

So to see if I understand correctly, I should have interactable gameplay objects like enemies outside of my canvas? the canvas should be specifically for overlays like UI and displays

[rocky canyon]

ya it can be overwhelming to beginners..

• screen space ( like where the cursor resides (mousePosition) is based on ur screensize and resolution )
  • for example going from 0 - 100 could be the full screen (sometimes u dont know)
• UI RectTransform stuff ( usually operate like a normalized value.. .5 x .5 is dead center.. top left is 0,1 bottom right is 1,0 etc )
  • this is true b/c of scaling b/c usually your canvas will scale.. some of the values above may be a bit wrong b/c i cant remember the order the screenspace goes in) the anchorPosition is based off of the element its a child of..
• Then world-space is split into local/global but its the game stuff.. (like where u create a cube.. its dead center of all the axis)

[rocky canyon]

yes.. u can get a bit cheeky w/ animations and stuff but its even frowned upon to animate UI but rather use Tweening libraries.. b/c animating it means it has to redraw the entire canvas every frame)

if its ortho or something u can find a good bounds to follow.. w/ the camera gizmo especially

the only thing UI related is the fuel stuff..

i just took some time to layout everything and get some good X and Y values i can use for the main gameplay stuff

[rocky canyon]

did you run the little initialization thing u need to run w/ dotween?

i ask everyone if their first time using dotween just b/c u never know

[coral cape]

Thank you so much for all your help!

[willow breach]

The window that popped after the import?

[rocky canyon]

mmhmm

where u selected which modules to install

[willow breach]

it seleced all without asking me

ill try to reimport

[rocky canyon]

just wanted to make sure u installed the Sprites package

or physics2D if its a rigidbody.. but ur using transform.. so probably not

[willow breach]

i created new scene with one 2d square with this script
void Start() { transform.DOMoveX(100, 10); }
but nothing happens

ok i went to preferences and reset it and now it works😅

[shrewd gazelle]

Hey Nav just wanna make sure your here just to not explain my problem again

[rocky canyon]

phew!

lol

[shrewd gazelle]

ok Ill explain my problem hey guys so I made a script called a ladder and put a refeence on it to access variables from another script which is for the player and got a varibale called isclimbing by doing _player.isclimbing now i added a cube gameobject to the ladder prefap and attached a script to it and trying to acess the isclimbig variable again just like how I used it in the ladder script I tried to get a refrence from the playercontroller script but it didnt work so wanted to ask for your guyses suggestions

if there any confusion please let me know and I will explain again

[rocky canyon]

does that script reference the player? _player ??

[wintry quarry]

"didn't work" is extremely vague and unhelpful

Show us exactly what you tried and what happened when you tried and how that differed from your expectations

[shrewd gazelle]

so my goal is to get a reference to the bool in the player script i did this in the ladder scriptprivate FirstPersonController _player; _player = other.GetComponent<FirstPersonController>();_player._isclimbing = true; and I succeded in getting the varibale from the ladder script now I tried to get the bool to the cube I added to the ladder prefab which has a different script one sec let me get it

[wintry quarry]

showing the actual code would be better than an unformatted runon sentence

[unique spear]

i dont know if it would work but did u determine the bool as public?

https://paste.mod.gg/qmvpptzznrwr/1 here can u access it

[wintry quarry]

Yes now can you explain what's going wrong with this code?

[shrewd gazelle]

so the other script I believe I called cube thing in link you gave me i cant acess the _isclimbing variable

[slender nymph]

other.GetComponent<FirstPersonController>();
what do you think other is in the context of this Start method?

[wintry quarry]

Why don't you show us the code that's not working

you need to share the code that's not working

[shrewd gazelle]

it is in there

[wintry quarry]

and explain what errors you get

[shrewd gazelle]

arent there two tabs

[wintry quarry]

Yes I see it

can you explain what's wrong with it

Are you getting an error?

[shrewd gazelle]

It wont let me acess the variable it keeps telling me that the first person controller is unrecognizable

[wintry quarry]

read and share the actual error messages you are seeing

this is too vague

[shrewd gazelle]

your not the first person to tell me this Im am from the middle east Ill get there and be good at it give me some time

[wintry quarry]

The actual precise error message is important.

[wintry quarry]

Read the error

see what it says?
"Are you missing a using directive"?

Notice in your other file you have this:

using StarterAssets; //  to access FirstPersonController

that's called a "using directive"

since that other class is in a namespace, you need this to use that class here.

Also - your IDE should be automatically suggesting to fix this error for you

If it's not doing that, you haven't configured it properly

[shrewd gazelle]

I couldve sworn that i did that Just put it in now its telling me this now

[polar acorn]

What is other

[sand snow]

hey does anyone know why when i instantiate a UI text its not showing on my screen, i checked the postion and everything is fine, but for some reason the text is just invisible and im not sure why

[polar acorn]

Is it a child object of a canvas?

[shrewd gazelle]

Im not sure I thaught thats how u get access to another script

[sand snow]

yes

well

no

because i turned it into a prefab and deleted it from hierarchy

[polar acorn]

Where do you define what other is

[polar acorn]

So when you spawn in the object, it needs to be a child of a canvas

[sand snow]

so how do i do that

[slender nymph]

#💻┃code-beginner message

[polar acorn]

Look up the different parameters for Instantiate and see if any of them might help you set a parent

[shrewd gazelle]

Im not sure what other is for at my current stage i thaught it was how you get acess to another script like name it and then do the other thing

[sand snow]

where should i look in unity documentation for that, just search "parent" or "instantiate"?

[polar acorn]

Look up the Instantiate function

[simple vine]

this isnt working and idk what button it is

[slender nymph]

no, it was a parameter for the OnTriggerEnter method you used in the ladder component. if you don't understand how c# works then stop what you are doing and go learn the basics. there are beginner c# courses pinned in this channel and the pathways on the unity !learn site are a good next step after that

the other is from the ontriggerenter method

[polar acorn]

You're going to need to actually say what isn't working about it

[shrewd gazelle]

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[simple vine]

okay so it isnt appering and idk what to do

[polar acorn]

What isn't appearing. Remember, we cannot see your screen. You have to actually say things

[rocky canyon]

start be like who tf is "other"

[shrewd gazelle]

this reminded me of blue prints from unreal

[simple vine]

the pause menu

[unique spear]

maybe try GameObject player; and then player.getcomponent...

[polar acorn]

Okay and what is supposed to be making it appear

[slender nymph]

you should take a look at #854851968446365696 to see what you should include when asking for help

or maybe look up some tips on how to ask questions

[simple vine]

the pause menu

[polar acorn]

Okay and what is supposed to be making it appear

[simple vine]

this

[polar acorn]

Okay and what is supposed to be making it appear

[simple vine]

idk

there was no button

[polar acorn]

Then why do you expect it to appear

[simple vine]

idk

[unique spear]

@shrewd gazelle did it work?

[simple vine]

but what button should i do or do i send the script to see

[polar acorn]

So, figure out what you actually want to do and what is happening then try again later

[shrewd gazelle]

working on it

[simple vine]

is there anything for button

[simple vine]

i know how to code but i cant find a button thing

[slender nymph]

but do you know how to read?

[simple vine]

yea unless i cant spell that word

[slender nymph]

because if you do, you would see that was not instructions to learn how to code. it was instructions for how to correctly share your code

[simple vine]

i understand cide and learn

code not cide

[slender nymph]

but apparently you don't understand the words that are being said to you

[simple vine]

sure then

[sand snow]

okay so i was looking at the documentation and the different parameters for instantiate but cant find where to put "parent" into the code

[polar acorn]

You would pass it to the Instantiate function, like you have every other parameter

[sand snow]

inside of the ()?

im sorry im pretty new to this so some of the termonology is a little confusing still

[simple vine]

FIXED

[shrewd gazelle]

Im a bit confused on how can I access the script called FirstPersonController

[slender nymph]

https://unity.huh.how/references
and if that is too much for you to understand then: #💻┃code-beginner message

[shrewd gazelle]

not gonna lie I only read the first part of your message but I did this style in unreal and the way i learn is do and then when i get stuck get help from experts and then keep practicing it thats just me becuase no tutorial is gonna cov er everything u encounter in a project imo

[slender nymph]

alright well then i'm not helping you any further. i do not help people who refuse to actually bother learning the basics

[shrewd gazelle]

dude I watched an entire udemy tutorial

Ill show yo if you want they dont go into specifics

this something that you learn in a project

[slender nymph]

and yet you're still just blindly guessing at how the code works

[polar acorn]

If the way you learn is by doing then why are you asking us

[unique spear]

public GameObject player;
firstpersoncontroler _player;
in start method
_player = player.getcomponent<firstpersoncontroler>();

if not working maybe try
_player = getcomponentinchild
or
_player = getcomponentinparent

[shrewd gazelle]

if you read my message I said doing getting help from experts and then practicing it

[slender nymph]

it is entirely unnecessary to have a second variable for this

[polar acorn]

Well you can't go more expert than the people who made the engine !learn

[long jacinth]

If I want to get something in a list by index how do I do it

[polar acorn]

[]

[slender nymph]

just use the indexer on the list? just like you would an array because that's basically all a list is

[long jacinth]

Oh ok thanks

[unique spear]

Ghassan in The 2nd or 3rd metod u dont need The Player gamę object

Tell me it it works

[slender nymph]

they don't need the player gameobject variable at all because it is entirely unnecessary

if they can drag in the gameobject anyway then they can just use the correct type of variable and not bother with getcomponent

[untold perch]

if i try https://social.services.api.unity.com/v1/names/{playerId} with a wrong playerid it returns a not existing playername. Any idea how to check if a playerid exists?

[slender nymph]

#archived-unity-gaming-services

also consider reading the documentation

[sand snow]

ahhhh i figured it out now tysm

[untold perch]

Unfortunately, I have not found anything about this. You can also add friends if the PlayerID does not exist.

[slender nymph]

questions regarding the gaming services belong in #archived-unity-gaming-services

[shrewd gazelle]

dude lol I made it work and all i did was i wrote ther name of the script I wanna access and then gave it a name where you decalre variables and then made a function so I can acess the bool I wanted without runing into any issue and it worked😂

justr wanted to share that with you becuase you helped alot

[unique spear]

Thanks

[shrewd gazelle]

And the info about the other. Component was an eye opener not gonna lie @slender nymph

Wow this feels so good after a day and half a day and half of trying to get this 😂

[faint osprey]

   {
       change.x *= m_Data.YawSensitivity;
       change.y *= m_Data.PitchSensitivity;

       Vector3 euler = m_SpringArmKnuckle.eulerAngles;
       float yaw = euler.y;
       float pitch = euler.x.Remap360To180PN();

       pitch = Mathf.Clamp(pitch - change.y, m_Data.MinPitch, m_Data.MaxPitch);

       Quaternion yawRotation = Quaternion.Euler(0, yaw + change.x, 0); 
       Quaternion pitchRotation = Quaternion.Euler(pitch, 0, 0); 

       m_SpringArmKnuckle.rotation = yawRotation * pitchRotation;
   }```

for some reason my spring arm is only rotating the yaw and not the pitch and i dont know why

[rancid tinsel]

I'm assuming the answer is yes, but can you can call OnDestroy() when just destroying a script component, not the whole object right?

idk why you wouldn't be able to but OnDestroy often makes me scratch my head as it is

[rich adder]

like if you destroy a component does it call OnDestroy method on that component?

[rancid tinsel]

ig yeah a silly question

[verbal dome]

Are you talking about Destroy or OnDestroy?

[rancid tinsel]

I only found out today that you can destroy a class

[verbal dome]

You don't "call" OnDestroy, unity calls it automatically

[rich adder]

oh ok
https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.0/Documentation/ScriptReference/MonoBehaviour.OnDestroy.html
doc says it on the first line

Destroying the attached Behaviour will result in the game or Scene receiving OnDestroy.

[rancid tinsel]

i meant if you destroy a class, is OnDestroy called

[rich adder]

Components *

[rancid tinsel]

script component* right

what is the actual difference between the two

or is it just right terms but essentially the same

[rich adder]

components are scripts you put on gameobjects

[timber tide]

component is just fancy word for object attached to a gameobject

[faint osprey]

    {
        change.x *= m_Data.YawSensitivity;
        change.y *= m_Data.PitchSensitivity;

        Vector3 euler = m_SpringArmKnuckle.eulerAngles;

        float yaw = euler.y + change.x;
        float pitch = euler.x.Remap360To180PN() - change.y;

        pitch = Mathf.Clamp(pitch, m_Data.MinPitch, m_Data.MaxPitch);

        Quaternion yawRotation = Quaternion.Euler(0, yaw, 0);
        Quaternion pitchRotation = Quaternion.Euler(pitch, 0, 0);

        m_SpringArmKnuckle.rotation = yawRotation * pitchRotation;
    }```

does anyone know why its rotating the yaw but not the pitch

[rich adder]

You wouldn't be able to call Destroy() on a Poco for example

needs to be UnityEngine.Object (component though specifically or gameobject)

[verbal dome]

Log the final pitch value

Then find out why it is probably the wrong value

[rancid tinsel]

i see, thank you

[verbal dome]

@faint osprey It's usually better to keep track of your angles in separate floats instead of reading from euler angles

[faint osprey]

(0.70091, 0.00000, 0.00000, 0.71325)

its just that no matter how much the mouse moves up or down

[verbal dome]

I meant pitch, not pitchRotation

I can't read quaternions

[faint osprey]

oh right

just stuck at 98

89b sorry

[timber tide]

Quaternion yawRotation = Quaternion.AngleAxis(yaw, Vector3.up);
Quaternion pitchRotation = Quaternion.AngleAxis(pitch, Vector3.right);```
can get rid of euler there and just use AngleAxis

[faint osprey]

ill try that

[verbal dome]

That won't fix it

[timber tide]

was just a suggestion, not a fix

[faint osprey]

its like the clamp is just keeping it at 89

and not letting it go lower

[swift crag]

have you verified that your angles are in the range you think they are?

e.g. by logging the yaw and pitch values

[faint osprey]

idk what the range is tho

cause the min max values are in 0-360 and the pitch is -180 to 180

[tiny wind]

how do I write an IF statement to check if the current scene is a certain int

Get the Scene
access its build index

now you have an integer to work with

[sacred cradle]

hello, how do i make public lists like this? Kinda where you can have your own public variables INSIDE of the list items.

i couldnt find an image where there was dropdowns for each item but i hope i explained what i mean well

[zenith cypress]

If you have a list of a class, you'll get a foldout for them. If it is something like an asset, you won't without third-party editor extensions.

[sacred cradle]

alr

how do i add a class to a list

tbh, i dont even really understand classes

yay

thanks

Hey everyone this might be a silly question but I am trying to use a canvas for the UI of my game but it is leaving a huge line in the middle of it. Why is this happening?

[supple sand]

That’s showing you the rectangle of the canvas.. ie the screen

[simple vine]

how do i fix this

[rancid tinsel]

just made a new project and a new script and Visual Studio is no longer showing errors or anything - they only show up in the Unity console

any idea what might have happened?

I tried restarting VS a few times

but that didn't help

[trail heart]

What the "this" that you want fixed?

[simple vine]

its not killing or movin

the monster isnt moving

or killing the player

Your !ide is not configured.

💡 IDE Configuration

If your IDE is not autocompleting code

[rancid tinsel]

my question is how though

its been configured for over a year and now suddenly isnt

its also configured on the project i was just working on before this one

[teal viper]

Hard to say. Go over all the setup steps and see that they're correct.

[strong wren]

It happens. In Unity, Preferences -> External Tools -> Regenerate project files tends to sort it out

[trail heart]

You can go ahead and make it move, and kill and what else
That's not something we can do for you

[simple vine]

i try it dont work

[rancid tinsel]

Well thats gonna have to wait my GPU just crashed lol

[trail heart]

I guess that's the end of the line then

[simple vine]

what

[teal viper]

You provided literally 0 info on your project, the issue and what you have tried so far. We can't help you without it.

[simple vine]

do i send someone the project then to help fix it

[teal viper]

No. Provide a proper explanation and relevant code. We still don't even know what the issue is. And know nothing about the context of the issue

[simple vine]

so i added the code for walking and moving but it dont work and i dont know what to do

[trail heart]

No, the correct way to present these problems is first try everything you can, and when you encounter a specific issue you explain clearly what that issue is and how you're trying to overcome it, then it's possible for us to help

[teal viper]

Great, share info on your setup and the code then.
