unless it doesn't dip below 0 then that doesnt wrk lol

[frigid sapphire]

Alr I feel stupid it works now

But the dropped item image doesnt change

[rocky canyon]

those are the types of problems we all spend the most time on

[slender nymph]

ClampMagnitude could be used instead to ensure that magnitudes below 1 are allowed but it cannot go beyond 1

[rich adder]

where is that supposed to happen?

[rocky canyon]

ahh very true

[frigid sapphire]

droppedItem = Inventory.Last();

[rich adder]

ah good ol Linq

one sec

[rocky canyon]

   private void Update()
    {
        moveInput.x = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal");
        moveInput.y = Input.GetAxis("Vertical");
        moveInput = Vector2.ClampMagnitude(moveInput, 1);
    }``` that is cleaner thanks Box 👍

[rich adder]

this is just assigning the component not the image, is that what you want?

[frigid sapphire]

I want the dropped item image to be replaced by the last image in the inventory

[rich adder]

right now ur just assigning Image component from Inventory's last Image component to this variable dropped item

its not doing anything

[frigid sapphire]

Yeah I tried droppedItem.SourceImage but that just gives me an error

[rich adder]

what is the error ?

[frigid sapphire]

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

[rich adder]

your ide is not configured is it?

[frigid sapphire]

ide?

[rich adder]

yeah like your code editor

thats not a property on Image

it should show you all the correct properties you can use

[frigid sapphire]

Yeah I don't remember configuring anything

[rich adder]

you should probably do that before anything.

!ide

[eternal falcon]

💡 IDE Configuration

If your IDE is not autocompleting code
or underlining errors, please configure it.

Select one:

• Visual Studio (Installed via Unity Hub)
• Visual Studio (Installed manually)
• VS Code
• JetBrains Rider
• :question: Other/None

[frigid sapphire]

Oh I got it to work its droppedItem.sprite

[rich adder]

yes..

but make sure IDE is configured

[rocky canyon]

@red igloo have u changed it out does it work?

[frigid sapphire]

Yep got it

[rocky canyon]

def snappy af now

lost my ball

[red igloo]

Works amazingly but when the ball falls from height it falls very slowly. how do I fix that?

[rocky canyon]

u can apply ur own gravity to it when its not grounded

[rich adder]

because ur setting the Y of the velocity

[rocky canyon]

u can just crank up the gravity in general.. but may need to adjust ur forces

[rocky canyon]

ah

[rich adder]

you can omit that and do
rb.velocity = (horiz, rb.velocity.y, vertical)

[cunning rapids]

If it's RB just decrease air drag when not grounded

[rocky canyon]

^ pass in its own y velocity in that slot

[rich adder]

if you keep it at rb.velocity.y it gets affected by gravity as normal

[cunning rapids]

Or just go edit -> project settings -> physics -> change y gravity from there

[rocky canyon]

its more about him manually changing his velocity than that

good guess tho.. thats what i defautled to as well.. then i remmebered the code

[cunning rapids]

I just came here so idk what's the main goal here

[rich adder]

if you want custom than yeah do yvelocity * customGravity

[cunning rapids]

Just took an educated guess

[rich adder]

they might not want to change it global though

[rocky canyon]

    private void FixedUpdate()
    {
        // Preserve the Y-axis velocity (gravity effect)
        float yVelocity = rb.velocity.y;
        movement = new Vector3(moveInput.x * moveSpeed, yVelocity, moveInput.y * moveSpeed);
        rb.velocity = movement;
    }

[red igloo]

is this for the one you made?

[rocky canyon]

using UnityEngine;

public class BallController : MonoBehaviour
{
    [SerializeField] private Rigidbody rb;
    [SerializeField] private float moveSpeed = 100f;

    private Vector2 moveInput;
    private Vector3 movement;

    private void Start()
    {
        rb = this.GetComponent<Rigidbody>();
    }

    private void Update()
    {
        moveInput.x = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal");
        moveInput.y = Input.GetAxis("Vertical");

        // Clamp the magnitude to ensure it doesn't exceed 1
        moveInput = Vector2.ClampMagnitude(moveInput,1);
    }

    private void FixedUpdate()
    {
        var rbY = rb.linearVelocity.y;
        movement = new Vector3(moveInput.x * moveSpeed,rbY,moveInput.y * moveSpeed);
        rb.linearVelocity = movement;
    }
}
``` this is ^

[cosmic dagger]

It's best to make a custom gravity component and attach it to the GameObject. Then you would scale by the value on that component (which internally scales by a global custom gravity) . . .

[rocky canyon]

^ aye.. man knows his physics

[rich adder]

pretty good idea

[rocky canyon]

i hardly ever use the mass of an object tbh lol

[rich adder]

purple gang 💪

[rocky canyon]

i probably should more often 🙂

[rocky canyon]

ya, someone robbed someone

[rocky canyon]

making my first Template today 🙂

[red igloo]

I get errors when I use that

[rich adder]

did they make the process easier or is just the same

[rocky canyon]

URP Template and BiRP Templates planned
with ur necessities..

• 2D package
• Cinemachine
• TMPro Essentials
• Possibly PrimeTween

[rich adder]

you should probably show what errors are..

[rocky canyon]

ya, u need to create a Template folder.. do some other jazz
then u just save it in the AppData Template folder

[rich adder]

yeah same jazz.. wish we had like a single file we could use.. this way we can distribuite custom templates easy

all you need is something like the packages manifest...

[slender nymph]

you must be using a slightly older unity version, it's just velocity on that rather than linearVelocity like in 6

[rocky canyon]

{
  "dependencies": {
    "com.unity.2d": "latest",
    "com.unity.cinemachine": "latest",
    "com.unity.textmeshpro": "latest",
    "com.unity.inputsystem": "latest",
    "com.unity.shadergraph": "latest",
    "com.unity.vfxgraph": "latest"
  }
}```

[rich adder]

yeah this is pre unity 6

[rocky canyon]

oh yea, sorry about that.. the newer versions of unity have velocity deprecated

[rich adder]

ya exactly but if it was like 1 bigger container file instead of messing with folders

[rocky canyon]

theres angularVel and linearVel now

[rich adder]

you can recognize old functions in new api and can be changed but old API has no clue what new API is

for the old api its nonsense

[rocky canyon]

yea, unity tells me would u like to change API to work w/ older blabla

[rich adder]

ya I think it autoconverts them or something

[red igloo]

thanks it works amazingly ❤

[rocky canyon]

backup? pfft

[rich adder]

live dangerously

[rich adder]

my projects are my new Rogue like. As soon as I hit a NRE I will delete the project

[rocky canyon]

not sure what'd i do if i lost my scenes and settings folders 🤪

[rocky canyon]

this is all stuff that can be downloaded via the package manager..

i want to keep my templates third-party free

for the most part

[rich adder]

we can also add custom repos

[rocky canyon]

ive gotten tired of duplicating template projects

gonna try out custom templates for a bit..

• i can use custom icons 👀 weeeeeee

[rocky canyon]

having 1 for URP and 1 for BIRP with all the basics stuff is gonna be a game-changer

[rich adder]

1 more reason custom templates button in hub would be neat

browse.. -> templateFile -> bamm new template added

[red igloo]

sorry to keep bothering you but when I move around and then stop. Why does the player constantly move slightly?

https://streamable.com/s85gtu

[rocky canyon]

thats rotation..

u never actual control any of hte rotation

u can tick the Freeze Constraint on all the rotations

[rich adder]

probably collding with the ground its making it rotate

[rocky canyon]

if u want..

if not u can set its angularVel to 0 in code

[rich adder]

yeah youd have to freeze constrain

[rocky canyon]

when not actively pressing inputs

[red igloo]

I want it to rotate only while moving

[rich adder]

apply your own rotation

cause technically you're pushing the ball not rotating it

[rocky canyon]

^ the ground is wats rotating it

[rich adder]

angularVelocity rotates it

[rocky canyon]

my internet is running like molassis

[red igloo]

how much MBPS do you guys get?

[rocky canyon]

not as much as advertised thats for sure

500 or so i think

[rich adder]

what confuses many is also Megabits vs Megabytes

ISP are sneaky they advertise megabits usually

[rocky canyon]

yea i get mbits / sec

i think they all are

[ivory bobcat]

I'm assuming you're referring to download speed (megabytes per second). It would be dependent on your Internet service provider. If you're referring to Unity's network speed (max threshold), I'm uncertain.

[red igloo]

I remember when I use to get 50 + MBPS lol

[rocky canyon]

    private void Update()
    {
        moveInput.x = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal");
        moveInput.y = Input.GetAxis("Vertical");

        moveInput = Vector2.ClampMagnitude(moveInput,1);
        shouldSpin = moveInput != Vector2.zero; // are we inputting?
    }

    private void FixedUpdate()
    {
        var rbY = rb.linearVelocity.y;
        movement = new Vector3(moveInput.x * moveSpeed,rbY,moveInput.y * moveSpeed);
        rb.linearVelocity = movement;

        if(!shouldSpin)  rb.angularVelocity = Vector3.zero; // should we spin?
    }
}

[red igloo]

now I get around 300 +

[rich adder]

Mb or MB

they're diff lol

[rocky canyon]

SPIN B GONE

[ivory bobcat]

MegaBytes or Megabits?
And yes, the Internet has improved in speed throughout the last few decades

[rich adder]

50Megabits is pretty slow lol

thats like 6 Megabytes a second

[rocky canyon]

i supposedly get 500 rofl

[rich adder]

damm thats ruff

[rocky canyon]

not too bad..

we have lots of devices streaming

[rich adder]

thats like 12 MegaBytes

[rocky canyon]

fast enuf i guess

theres bad weather.. so that kinda influences it too

i have no idea why. but it does

[rich adder]

hmm was expecting more tbh

[rocky canyon]

ahah scrub trying to flex

[rich adder]

im also pretty far from my router and its wifi

[rocky canyon]

same.. if i had hardline it'd be much much higher

[rich adder]

this is pretty horrid.

[ivory bobcat]

Yeah and depending on the server (website), you'll get different rates - real world application. Speed test servers are usually pretty fast.

[red igloo]

the name shouldspin doesn't exist should I make a private bool for that?

[rich adder]

my friends have like Gigabit connections (they really do be flexing ) lol

[rocky canyon]

ya its just a private bool i declared at top

sorry i thought that was more obvious

altho im not sure what ur equivilent to angularVelocity is

[cunning rapids]

People confuse bytes and bits all the time and then get confused why it takes some random game 10x longer to download than expected

[rich adder]

yes its a shitty marketing tactic

[rocky canyon]

lmao.. steam be putting out 12mb/s tops

[rich adder]

making ISP sound stronger than it is

[rocky canyon]

net nuetrallity?

[rich adder]

wow 300mbs! oh.. thats only 30MBs..nvm

[cunning rapids]

50 MB/s is like 400 Mbps

[ivory bobcat]

Marketing

[rich adder]

yeah its misleading af for your average folk

[rocky canyon]

in ur case @red igloo you may want to modify the angularDrag to stop it from spinning

[rich adder]

they need to stop making games that are like over 100GB I wouldn't mind slow internet..

[cunning rapids]

There used to be an issue in Europe where they'd confuse Watts for brightness

Instead of lumens, which is the actual unit of brightness

So to represent power they'd use kWh/1000h

Which is just insane

[rocky canyon]

    [SerializeField] private float stopSpinDrag = 5f; // Higher value makes it stop spinning faster
    [SerializeField] private float normalDrag = 0.05f; // Low value allows normal movement```
```cs
     // instead of instantly stopping rotation like I do..
     // you can set the angularDrag to a really high number to stop it
     // and set it back to a normal drag value when ur not
        rb.angularDrag = shouldSpin ? normalDrag : stopSpinDrag;```

[cunning rapids]

Marketing gimmicks are weird asf

[rocky canyon]

Europe kinda weird anyway.. i mean yall drive on the wrong side of the road.. for comparison

😈

[ivory bobcat]

It's like money inflation, it never decreases. Get ready to welcome 8k and 16k gaming - 2077

[cunning rapids]

Free healthcare though

But yeah it can be weird there for sure

[rocky canyon]

esp yalls measurement system..

its bad enough i gotta use meters in all my software

[cunning rapids]

What's wrong with metric 😭

[rocky canyon]

i got a note-card with conversions

like im a grandma baker

[rocky canyon]

lol. just teasing.. yall do you 🙂

[cunning rapids]

Yeah I know haha

[rocky canyon]

1 meter = half a characters height

ezpz conversion

[rich adder]

also lazyiness due to advanced tech..less limits = more slop.
here i am looking at videos on hub devs from nintendo fit entire game from CD into n64 mall cartage 😦

[cunning rapids]

I got COD on my PS4 (like 100 GB)

To make the game even playable I had to install an additional 150GB worth of DLCs alone

[rocky canyon]

lol.. ur under estimating that tbh

[rich adder]

its wild. Once we hit 1TB games

[rocky canyon]

call of duty is by far the Biggest game ive owned

[cunning rapids]

Each new gun would sacrifice a kidney for my harddrive lmao

[ivory bobcat]

Some people believe the bigger it is the more valuable it is

20mb game vs 80gb game

[rocky canyon]

lmao ive gottent to where i dont even update it until my friends want to play

[cunning rapids]

DOOM 1993 is 2 MB

[rocky canyon]

Update Queued! <- yea, and you'll stay that way 😈

2.39mb to be exact

[ivory bobcat]

They'll need to trim a bit to fit on a floppy

[cosmic dagger]

Your upload is crazy. I never see anyone's that high . . .

[ivory bobcat]

Or double disk

[rocky canyon]

ya, sometimes my ISP wigs out and i get higher Upload speeds than download

[cunning rapids]

Or a PDF (not a joke)

[rocky canyon]

its not very common tho

[cunning rapids]

https://doompdf.pages.dev/doom.pdf

[rocky canyon]

130 mb upload is intense

[polar acorn]

Each episode was on a different disk

[rich adder]

yeah not much good there without streaming or anything'

[rocky canyon]

mmhmm "Please Insert Disc 2"

tbh i was always really impressed back then how they broke up an install on 2 disks

but i guess Microsoft did it way before

[polar acorn]

Not quite. DOOM was basically three different games. You'd put in disk 1 and play Episode 1, then when you beat it you got kicked back to the menu. If you wanted to play an episode 2 map you had to put that disk in (or just copy the files over and play without the disk)

[rocky canyon]

tried to download photoshop back in teh day on dialup..
could never finish it w/o a disconnect. and then id have to restart..
took like 3 full days to finally finish it w/o failing

and then i think the next year Kazaa or Limewire became mainstream.. changed my world

[rocky canyon]

ahh thats right.. b/c the first disc.. was the freeware version

[rich adder]

ah yes I miss p2p viruses lol

[rocky canyon]

i can send u one real quick.. if ur after a hit of nostalgia

[rich adder]

when Limewire become Frostwire, things got sketchy quick

[cunning rapids]

It's pretty standard

[rocky canyon]

(╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻

[cunning rapids]

Although sometimes it feels like in practice it REFUSES to be 180 Mbps

[rocky canyon]

oh yea.. it knows ur running a speed test

[rich adder]

yeah feel like the test is inflating actual real loads

[rocky canyon]

it just exerted its entire energy for the day

[cunning rapids]

Lucky to even reach 5 MB/s lmao

[rocky canyon]

6ms ping is nuts tho

[cunning rapids]

Let alone 22

[rocky canyon]

are u sitting on top of ur ISP?

[rich adder]

its also depending on the server you're downloading FROM

[rocky canyon]

ahh yes, downgliding

[rich adder]

lol mykeyboard crazyy

[cunning rapids]

LMAO nah just in my room

[cosmic dagger]

I usually have high download, but upload is always minimal . . .

[rocky canyon]

i imagine if i were hardlined i'd get 2x the speeds

but rightnow im just using a wifi dongle..

[cunning rapids]

Although wireless is pretty much obsolote for certain setups

[rich adder]

dammm flexing those DL speed

[rocky canyon]

pretty sh*T one at that

[cunning rapids]

Just use Ethernet for desktop

[rocky canyon]

i was waiting for the T1 college type connection to appear 🙂

[rich adder]

i rather have those downloads speeds if it means thats my upload speed lol

i don't stream or anything anyway

[rocky canyon]

upload speeds are slept on 😦

u dont miss them until u do

[cunning rapids]

10$ (funny snake looking cord) vs 100$ router

[rocky canyon]

lol my router was 20 bux muahahah

[cunning rapids]

Mine is 50 lmao

[cosmic dagger]

I know some people who get TB speeds; it's insane. I usually have 20+ connected devices though, so a lot of it is split up . . .

[cunning rapids]

100$ is really high end for wireless

[rich adder]

wowzer TB is insane. I only know a few Gigabits thats about it

[cosmic dagger]

I don't stream as often as I used to. Probably 5-8 going on at one time . . .

[rich adder]

Google was popular where i was it was over 100Gbits but I moved and now got different ISP

[ivory bobcat]

Reminder that the values are simply for pinging. If you're downloading, disk write speed would be a factor as well. Writing to USB 2.0 would likely limit the real world experience to less than 20MBps and if the files are small and many.. good luck.

[cosmic dagger]

Sorry, that's what I meant: GB, not TB . . .

[rocky canyon]

the size of my new router (on top)

vs the router i once had

[rich adder]

was about to say lol must be running some NASA networking or something

[rocky canyon]

you could sneeze and lose it in the cracks of the walls

[cunning rapids]

Exactly. Misleading values tbh. In practice they're much lower

[rocky canyon]

lots of things.. time of day, hardwired vs wireless, location of ping etc

but yea. usually lower than in practice

well, i feel more poor than i did before seeing everyones speeds 🤣

gotta get a fun project going to relax

[rich adder]

the test is checking also the closest server to your ISP so you always get best results, not necessarily the one you're downloading from / uploading to

[ivory bobcat]

Yeah, everything's cached onto local servers. We aren't actually accessing files or servers across the world unless they're uncommon

[rich adder]

for all you know you could be downloading something from cambodia while you're in the US

[rocky canyon]

some of those speed sites will let u chose the server u ping to

[red igloo]

I made a script where my player can go on moving platforms but when I am on the platform why does the stuttering happen?

https://paste.ofcode.org/RNAR8Lk8zg2qfxbTPugZZ4

https://streamable.com/jlm0of

is it because of my camera?

when I turn off the camera script it no longer stutters

[polar acorn]

Move the camera in LateUpdate

It gives it time to render before moving

[red igloo]

Thanks ❤

[slender nymph]

obligatory: use cinemachine

[trail heart]

I would guess either
The ball is an uninterpolated rigidbody and the platform is making it move in Update
Or the platform is an uninterpolated rigidbody (or otherwise moving in FixedUpdate) and making the ball also move in FixedUpdate

[red igloo]

I might do later on im just testing stuff

the stuttering is fixed btw

[trail heart]

If there's uninterpolated rigidbody motion / position being updated in FixedUpdate, moving the camera to LateUpdate won't fix it but conceals the issue

[rich adder]

a moving platform should prob be a kinematic body moving in FixedUpdate with MovePosition so its motion aligns with rigidbody

[trail heart]

But that might be good enough

[raw jacinth]

i have always the same problem

idee for fing a solution

[rich adder]

well u kinda just left in the middle of us debugging it so..

[raw jacinth]

no u say me to find other code application

[rich adder]

not really. I just said its another option as well since its free

and rider is also a bit easier to setup in unity tbh

you haven't actually shown which SDK version you installed, did you restart afterwards?
where are you launching VS from ? show

[raw jacinth]

unity dont use C# language

[rich adder]

unity's api certainly uses c#..

[raw jacinth]

i install this

it is a SDK?

[rich adder]

and did u restart

[raw jacinth]

yes

[rich adder]

ok show where you are launching vs from

is it configured in unity

[ivory bobcat]

I think they're working with a regular c# console application #💻┃code-beginner message

[raw jacinth]

i dont understabd

[rich adder]

ahh..so it seems.

they mentioned unity so i got confused

[rich adder]

well what I would do in this case, uninstall VS. Download the VS installer, and try a clean install

[raw jacinth]

I already did that

and dont work

i use chat gpt for help me

[rich adder]

chat gpt doesnt know shit

install Rider and call it a day

I could help you better in the context of unity anyway, since this is more of a general c# issue maybe try !cs

ty

[tough tartan]

what would i do if i wanted when all enemies are not active, the next scene is opened?

[rich adder]

put enemies in a list, then count down each time you disable one. if reaches the amount desired do LoadScene

[tough tartan]

how exactly would i do this tho

like in a script would i need a list or what

or make an empty gameobject holding all enemie

[rich adder]

well you want to keep track of all enemies somehow

arrays / list work best

[tough tartan]

how would i put the enemes into a list tho

cuz im used to having variables not proper objects

[rich adder]

it depends if they are spawned at runtime or have fixed number

[tough tartan]

fixed number

[rich adder]

if they're in the scene already make an array of whatever type your enemy is

[SerializeField] private Enemy[] enemies;

then select all enemies you want and put them in inspector field

[tough tartan]

how exactly

this is an enemy

[wintry quarry]

Drag and drop

[tough tartan]

where i put this tho

[rich adder]

like an enemy manager or something

so you can loop them and check if its disabled, if one of them is enabled break the loop

[keen perch]

I want the ball to keep hitting the walls as I drag it.
How can I do that?

[rich adder]

you can probably make it more efficent by using events but thats a whole different monster rn..

[tough tartan]

what the heck

idk what that all means bruzz

[wintry quarry]

You have a lot to learn about coding then

[tough tartan]

so would i write any cde

[wintry quarry]

Time to learn

[rich adder]

just an example```cs
foreach(var enemy in enemies){
if(enemy.gameObject.isActiveSelf == true) break; // one enemy was still active - leave loop;

//Otherwise we reach end of loop - All Enemies are disabled```

[rancid tinsel]

what?

[rich adder]

that signature is Object, Transform

oh wait nvm idk what it says scene

wonky

[rancid tinsel]

visual studio is being a pain again ig

[slender nymph]

the code is still wrong anyway though

[rich adder]

ya with position you need third argument for rotation

[rancid tinsel]

i see

[rich adder]

Quaternion.identity means no rotation

[rancid tinsel]

yeah i used that one

also i restarted VS and that seems to have fixed the error

[rich adder]

thats the first time i seen vs bugg out like that bad

idk where it got Scene from lol

[rancid tinsel]

yeah no clue, might be to do with the update from the other day

[rich adder]

yeah one update broke my assemblies, thats when I just went to VSC and never looked back

[rancid tinsel]

ive been hearing a lot of good about VSC, even my professor uses it

[rich adder]

idk wat they're pushing at m$ rn

[rancid tinsel]

but i hate change and im too used to visual studio lol

[rich adder]

yeah the Unity integration getting better each update

only 1.1 and its pretty much solid. Only cause its maintained by m$ open source community not Unity lol

[hot laurel]

u missing closing bracket at the end btw

[rancid tinsel]

cheers

[wanton canyon]

I am trying to insert an image into my text. I am using TMPro, and all the information online says to do "<sprite index = x". I put the sprite after conversion in sprite asset under extra settings in the text inspector, but the unity console is giving me error "invalid expression term '<'". My line of code: upgradeText.text = button.name + " " + upgradeNumber + "\n" + " <sprite index = 0> " + Math.Ceiling(minClicksToUnlock);

[wintry quarry]

Is your IDE configured?

(is your code editor showing you errors inline and auto completing things?)

[wanton canyon]

Never, I use Sublime and turned off all those features

[wintry quarry]

Well you have a syntax error

[wanton canyon]

I tried getting rid of the "" around <sprite index = 0> but that didnt work either. Im worried that <sprite index = 0> only works if I use it in the text field in the inspector, because I need to script all the text for these buttons

[wintry quarry]

What you're describing is a C# compiler error because you've written invalid C# code

Textmesh pro isn't really involved yet at this point

Can you show the full code and the full error?

It would really help you to use a properly configured IDE to avoid this kind of thing too

[wanton canyon]

https://pastebin.com/JcBN7V4C

[rancid tinsel]

im confused - I can't create a monobehaviour with the new keyword, but I also can't AddComponent?

[rich adder]

for generic type use <>

otherwise you need typeof

[rancid tinsel]

oh

thats so confusing

thank you

[wanton canyon]

I despise the autocomplete xD

[hot laurel]

upgradeText.text = button.name + " " + upgradeNumber + "\n" + <sprite index= 0> + minClicksToUnlock;

this doesnt look allright

[rich adder]

https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.0/Documentation/ScriptReference/GameObject.AddComponent.html
generally you want to use the Generic version ofc

[wintry quarry]

Your error is on line 29 and you're missing the quotes around the sprite string

[wanton canyon]

oh my gosh I am silly, I thought it was line 77 for some reason, thank you

[wintry quarry]

IDE would help avoid those errors 😉

You can turn off autocomplete

While still having error highlighting

[wanton canyon]

oh???

[wintry quarry]

Yes in VS the autocomplete is called Intellisense

[hot laurel]

I have my objects height and with right on the edges in rec transform, but what are these big light gray boarders around the text and how do I adjust their size?, theyre blocking interactions I have

[rich adder]

they're probably from other rect transforms

also not really code related q

hi question, whats the best way to import and animate a character for my unity project? I have the character created with armiture/bones, etc. but no animations or anything.
Should I animate everything in blender or should I import it into unity before or whats the process? never done it before 😄 any tips/advice?

[summer thorn]

are classes internal by default?

[hot laurel]

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/language-reference/keywords/accessibility-levels
Everything in C# defaults to the least visibility possible: internal for classes, and private for class members and inner classes.
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/106941/should-i-use-internal-or-public-visibility-by-default

[steep rose]

You could animate the character either in blender or in unity, I usually do the former because I am used to blender. As for the importation process you could use the FBX file type and unity should automatically make GameObject bones which you can animate in unity itself if you have not used blender for animation already. (unity will see the animations you made in blender as well if you select the animation button when exporting)

[warm mason]

i suck at blender so maybe i should try the unity approach. So i can export FBX and can i simply drag and drop into my assets?

[steep rose]

yes you can drag and drop the FBX file into unity's asset folder and it should just work

[swift crag]

notably: if you want to change the model, just overwrite the existing model file

unity will reimport it, and existing uses of the model will update

[warm mason]

works but my character is a giant 😄

im not expert but i can simply just scale down, right?

[wanton canyon]

it's best to have correct scale in Blender before importing

[warm mason]

noted, thanks

[warm mason]

fair enough. I just dont know what the "right" scale is, cuz in blender the scale is just x,y,z

i mean like

i dont know the units or conversions or what it would be

if that makes sense

[wanton canyon]

do you have another model are you using in Unity? use that as a reference for scaling. At least, that's what I do

[timber tide]

1 blender unit can be compared to 1 unity unit

[silk night]

(with the right export settings, default is 1:100)

[swift crag]

export from blender with "FBX All" instead of "All Local" to get models to come in with a [1,1,1] scale

either way: try to have the scale correct in Blender in the first place

it makes things simpler

[warm mason]

i mean thats my scale rn

just 1

but in unity its a giant ;p

[timber tide]

also applying transform will produce less crazy units

[warm mason]

ok so

FBX all and check apply transform?

[timber tide]

Im actually not sure what the Apply Transform there related to

[warm mason]

oh

[timber tide]

but I click it anyway lel

[warm mason]

the warning sign scares me ;3

[silk night]

hover over it

and it will tell you why its there

[timber tide]

Object mode -> Ctrl A -> All Transforms

[summer thorn]

thanks although i did search yet found no relevant answerws

[warm mason]

so.. im confused. what SHOULD my scale be? cuz 1 is a giant. should i change it to like .1 or something?

[timber tide]

Sure, but after you do, Ctrl A before export

this will set a transform identity

[warm mason]

okay i understand

i mean it looks relatively okay in unity at .1 scale so

[summer thorn]

In vscode, after creating a script via dotnet new, I tried renaming the top of the hierachy from csproject to something else and now everything has fallen apart and won't run.. what can I do?

[summer thorn]

okay i hope it works

[summer thorn]

so it seems im getting this error now

When I try running .net generate assets I get this error

[polar acorn]

What even is that

[summer thorn]

Could not locate .NET Core project in 'test'. Assets were not generated.

"test" is the name of my renamed project that i deleted, then deleted again from recycle bin

[polar acorn]

You really shouldn't be doing much in Visual Studio, Unity handles almost all of it

[hot laurel]

well its not unity related, it generated project via dotnet new

[polar acorn]

Then why is it in the unity server

hey, vscode is friend

[frigid sequoia]

Can I just tell this to not send a console error if the NavMesh does not exist or do I have to create a condition for it to skip it?

[wintry quarry]

If condition

[frigid sequoia]

Cause I don't really need that reference for anything else

So having a reference to that is kinda useless otherwise

[wintry quarry]

Remember exceptions don't just send console errors they also stop your code from executing any further

[frigid sequoia]

Yeah, it's the last step of that code fragment

[wintry quarry]

That code but what about the code that follows the method

You really don't want to be throwing exceptions randomly

[frigid sequoia]

It just happens that this can sometimes execute the first frame before the NavMesh has been enabled so it returns error

But other than that is fine

[polar acorn]

If statement

[wintry quarry]

Better yet fix your initialization sequence

[dark laurel]

imho I'd warn/log on something like that every time, even if you don't think it can happen, it invariably will during development.. even just:

var destination = GetAgentDestination();
if (destination == null)
{
  e("Destination was null. This is a bug.");
  return;
}
agent.SetDestination(destination.position);

e() is shorthand for debug.logerror or whatever

[frigid sequoia]

It does work like that, just that the first frame of setting the agent on the NavMesh sometimes fails

But if it's just the first frame does not cause any issue

[dark laurel]

then use a flag to see if it's initialized..

bool _isInitialized = false;
void Update()
{
  if (!_isInitialized) return;
  ...
}

(and set the flag to true whenever you know it's ready to use)

[frigid sequoia]

Yeah, so the easiest way is just to get a reference to the NavMesh

Oka

I just wondered if you could just say, "try this but if does not happen is alright"

[wintry quarry]

yeah you can but exception handling in normal code logic has very poor performance and is really poor code practice.

What actual exception are you seeing?

[frigid sequoia]

That you cannot really set anything from a agent that is not on a NavMesh cause the agent fails to exist until the NavMesh is

[wintry quarry]

I'm looking for specifics

NullReferenceException?

Something else?

What's the actual error?

[frigid sequoia]

I just changed the logic, huh, that should not happen right?

Oh, no, I think I see the issue now, isCombatTimeRunning and the NavMeshEnable happen at the same frame on the game manager

also check the pins

does anyone have any good resources to really learning C#/unity? Everything I run into is mostly just "Heres how to do this" but not how and why it works.

got it

I was following a character controller Brackey's tutorial and obviously made a very small mistake somewhere

let me record again

[naive pawn]

you could just go convert the recording you already have

When I start walking I teleport

[naive pawn]

after you teleport, you said you "weren't moving", but have you checked the inspector on the player to see if that's actually the case

[minor reef]

No I was moving but there was a barrier at spawn

[naive pawn]

can you show the inspector of the player

Like the console?

[ivory bobcat]

https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/UsingTheInspector.html

[naive pawn]

no, the tab that says inspector that's on the right side by default

bruh you showed the thing i asked for last lmao

so it's scaled by a factor of 100.

it should probably not do that.

that's gonna skew other measurements

[minor reef]

so 1?

[naive pawn]

yeah, and then scale the mesh to make it an appropriate size

[minor reef]

One more thing

Non-code related

how can I invert the look controls? I used Cinemachine

[naive pawn]

you don't have look controls

it's just following where you're going

[minor reef]

but I can look around

[naive pawn]

independant of the movement?

and you don't have a script for that?

I don't think so

it's probably a cinemachine thing then, i haven't used cinemachine so i can't really help you. try asking in #🎥┃cinemachine

Hi, im making a bird game. Does anyone knows why my bird cant stay on my cube? i put box collider, rigidbody (use gravity). My bird keeps going up down (stuttering)

[echo ruin]

Does the cube have a collider?

[jovial pilot]

this is my gameobject
bird
|_ bird model stuff here. All my rigid body and my collider are here

and yes, my ground cube has box collider

[echo ruin]

The information you’re giving is a bit vague. Have you checked to see if the collider on the bird is centered and sized appropriately for the bird? Have you done the same for the cube? Have you made sure that the colliders aren’t set as triggers?

[slender nymph]

and do you see any of the other logs from that component in the console?

[thin stream]

beside of that not

[slender nymph]

what happened in the 3 seconds between the last successful jump and this attempt? that can help narrow down what may be happening

actually wait, your console is in collapse mode. turn that off and screenshot the entire thing

[thin stream]

the player loses after respawn his rb collider?

seems like

[slender nymph]

Is that all of the logs in the console or are there perhaps more above what you've shown

Because if I had to guess there's probably a much earlier log about the object not having a rigidbody and the component is probably attached to more than one object in the scene

Search your scene with t:PlayerMovement to check for duplicates

[fossil drum]

My guess is that the restarting of the scene removes the link with the RigidBody which he set in the editor.
Not sure how he's restarting it, if he just instantiates a new Player again.

But you can check that by just looking at the component after it has restarted the scene if it still has a link with the public rigidbody

[thin stream]

if i add that in console it does works then i can respawn again and jump again

and now does it work lmao?

[slender nymph]

I said search the scene not the console. You're hiding your logs by searching the console like that

[thin stream]

ok give me a sec

this is the playermovement

[slender nymph]

Is this search during or outside of play mode

[thin stream]

outside

now gonna try it when i play

[slender nymph]

Do the search when the error starts happening

[thin stream]

it seems like it works perfectly rn

now it does work?

when i did search in console "t:playerMovement" after that it worked

what could be the thingy here?

[slender nymph]

most likely you changed something and didn't realize. searching the scene/console doesn't do anything

[fossil drum]

You also still get the error in the console at second 6

[thin stream]

yep iknow but now it works even when i recieve the error

[slender nymph]

you had error pause enabled before. so absolutely nothing has changed if you are still getting the error

add this log to the beginning of the Jump method and show the console when you get the error. i also recommend turning Error Pause back on so we can see exactly what is happening at the time of the error
Debug.Log($"Jump invoked on {name} ({GetInstanceID()}, with rigidbody {playerRB} and grounded state {isGrounded}");

[thin stream]

probably but, now when i play it

okk

[slender nymph]

please make your console window bigger so we can see the relevant logs

also are you certain you actually added the log i provided? because theoretically we should be seeing it above the error and also separately above the following jump attempted log

[thin stream]

ok

and yes

[slender nymph]

so where's the log i provided?

[thin stream]

where to find it

[slender nymph]

do i need in code?

no, i asked you to add a log to the code and you assured me that you had done so. you clearly did not.

[thin stream]

explain it better, because i dont find any log for it

or where i can find

i did added

wait

this is the jump

so the debug is there also

[slender nymph]

where is the log that i gave you

[slender nymph]

please learn to read

i told you to put it at the beginning of the jump method

[thin stream]

not everyone is fast with things but like i placed it right here & have this

[slender nymph]

okay so the issue seems to be that your Jump method is still subscribed to the input action's event but since you create a new instance of PlayerControls and subscribe in Awake that shouldn't be possible

[thin stream]

and how to fix that?

[slender nymph]

disable/dispose controls in OnDestroy

[split solar]

hm so let's say we got a matrix for chunks, how does one draw the mesh efficiently?

[thin stream]

i dont find it

[slender nymph]

what do you mean by that

[thin stream]

i dont see the controls in ondestroy

[slender nymph]

huh?

[thin stream]

or where to find it

[slender nymph]

OnDestroy is a method, controls is literally the name of one of your variables

[thin stream]

yea but i dont find the "ondestroy or the controls in this: https://paste.mod.gg/lrfnkqofmwec/0

or you mean this? // Input-afhandeling
controls.Land.Move.started += ctx => direction = ctx.ReadValue<float>();
controls.Land.Move.canceled += ctx => direction = 0;
controls.Land.Jump.performed += ctx => Jump();
}

[slender nymph]

well first of all, you should at least be able to find controls since, as i already pointed out, it is one of your variables. and second, if you don't even know what MonoBehaviour.OnDestroy is, you should start by going through the pathways on the unity !learn site

i did

https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.0/Documentation/ScriptReference/MonoBehaviour.OnDestroy.html see

but i dont get it this way

[slender nymph]

then go through the pathways on the unity learn site

you're very clearly missing some fundamentals, so go learn them

[thin stream]

i dont

they always said if it works it works :d, and at some point when i dont use the pause console thing it works like normal

i can respawn

and jump

and still get hitted

but the error still appears

but works

[slender nymph]

ignoring your errors just because it isn't pausing is stupid

[thin stream]

nowp

it isnt stupid, bc as long the functions u needed does the job it will work

[slender nymph]

ah yes, then when your players get multiple game overs and their logs are being spammed with errors because you decided not to bother fixing them so the performance of the game is degraded i don't want to see you coming back crying about getting help fixing it

i also don't help people who refuse to bother learning the basics so i'm just going to block you now. good luck with ignoring your errors instead of the super easy fix 👍

So in my game bascially you shoot barrels, when i shoot a barrel i want it to chip, i have split the model in blender into sdiferent parts of the barrel, and i also have a mesh where its all intact, but the mesh intact whilst separated just looks way different even when all parts are there. whats the best part to, when the barrel is shot a particle system plays where some pieces of the barrel flies out, and the actual barrel model visibly has a random part missing

[night raptor]

what does "way different" mean in this case? could you share with us some screenshot comparisons of what you mean?

[hexed terrace]

this is also a code channel, if your question isnt code related, move it to #🔀┃art-asset-workflow

[remote lynx]

IEndDragHandler doesnt get called when the drag ends but when u releade the buttom

İs there an event that runs when u stop dragging?

[slender nymph]

what does it mean to "stop dragging" in this case

[remote lynx]

When u dont move ur finger

Like the mouse stays in place

[slender nymph]

and how are you supposed to determine that the actual intention was to complete the drag and not just pause moving for a moment?

[remote lynx]

Doesnt matter i want to call a function whrn it pauses/stop

[slender nymph]

then you'll just need to check that the position hasn't changed within some arbitrary time

[naive pawn]

yeah doesn't sound like you want dragging

[remote lynx]

Ye but this is a mobile game and there are multiple touches

[naive pawn]

dragging is a composite action, mousedown + move + mouseup

[remote lynx]

Can you get the touch id on pointer down?

[naive pawn]

yes, but you wouldn't use pointer down for this

[remote lynx]

What do i use?

[slender nymph]

all of these interface methods that have been mentioned so far receive a PointerEventData parameter that contains info you may find useful

[naive pawn]

you would just have to track the movements yourself. there's no corresponding action for "didn't move"

[remote lynx]

Yea i will manually track the movement but how do i get the touch drom poonter events

[slender nymph]

#💻┃code-beginner message

[remote lynx]

İ couldnt find it in that

[slender nymph]

did you try looking harder?

[remote lynx]

Hold on

There is pointerId but it isnt the touch index

[slender nymph]

(yes it is)

https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.ugui@1.0/api/UnityEngine.EventSystems.PointerEventData.html#UnityEngine_EventSystems_PointerEventData_pointerId

Id of the pointer (touch id).

[remote lynx]

İt is id not index it is a number like 1513...

[slender nymph]

what is the point of getting that anyway?

[remote lynx]

To get the touch and get rhe delta of the touch

[slender nymph]

why do you need to get the touch for that? the PointerEventData already contains the delta

[remote lynx]

Which event do i use ?

PointerDragEvet only works when you move the pointer/touch

[slender nymph]

And if you just need to determine if the pointer has stopped moving, you just need to figure out when OnDrag has not been called within whatever arbitrary time you pick

[remote lynx]

Which loop does event system run on?

[viral stag]

Does anyone know any tutorial or place to help. I am making a 2D game and I need to make barricades that ask a question which needs the correct answer to pass and not sure in how to do it. Thank you

[remote lynx]

Like Update LateUpdate FixesUpdate?

[fossil drum]

https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.0/Documentation/Manual/execution-order.html
I would guess it's the Input Event's tab.

[slender nymph]

i don't see the relevance in that question. just timestamp the last time the drag happened, once the time elapsed since that timestamp is beyond some arbitrary value you pick then it has "stopped dragging" (according to your logic)

[hasty dragon]

what is the method that returns a bool for if the game object is active?

[slender nymph]

https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.0/Documentation/ScriptReference/GameObject.html
there is no method to check if a gameobject is active, there are properties though

[cosmic dagger]

That's a very specific scenario. You would combine multiple steps to create the entire interaction . . .

• make barricade
• interact with barricade
• ask question to player
• allow access to new area

[viral stag]

Yeah

[brisk echo]

Hi, I'm making a third-person character using a Character Controller, and was wondering if the movement script should rotate the whole game object or just the body visuals? Hierarchy is as follows:

• Player (Root, has CharacterController)
  • Body (Visuals)

An example of movement style is Yooka-Laylee.
Character move forward and backwards in the directions of the camera but moves sideways facing to the side of the camera.

I figured this can be done easily enough by just rotating the body visuals only, but when I factor in other things such as Hitboxes for swords etc, should I rotate the whole game object or just the visuals and Hitboxes?
The character has a sword attack, so the attack hitbox needs to be properly aligned.

Just wondering which is the better approach for down the line.

[slender nymph]

rotate the root object so that it is always pointing the correct direction and you won't have to separately account for directional stuff

[thin stream]

is their an option to remove to get the full game at 1 screen without camera followement?

cause when i press play it doesnt follow the player?

i dont get an error also

[brisk echo]

Ok thanks. I can see reasons for both, but just wanted a second opinion. Will look at rotating the whole thing. Thanks

[swift crag]

I try to make the character root have an accurate position, rotation, and scale

that way, I can do whatever the hell I want with the child objects (e.g. make the body shake around) and it doesn't mess with my game logic

[lapis yew]

Hmmm shaking children

I love that

[swift crag]

remember to reap your children!!

I want to group methods from an external script in a dictionary, like:

public AnotherScript script;
Dictionary<string, ??> dict;

void Start(){
  dict = new Dictionary<string, ??>{
    {"Method1", script.Method1},
    {"Method2", script.Method2}
  }
}

but idk the name of the type the methods are

[slender nymph]

if they all return void and have no parameters then the type would be System.Action

but also why would you want to do this

[cerulean badger]

what if they're void but have parameters?

[slender nymph]

answer this
https://xyproblem.info

[polar acorn]

There is almost certainly a better way to do whatever it is you're trying to do

[cerulean badger]

it's complicated .- i gtg now but I'll try to answer that in like 15 min

[cerulean badger]

whats this btw?

[slender nymph]

click the link and find out

[visual linden]

They posted what they were trying to do. If you suspect that they're approaching the problem the wrong way, or think what they're asking doesn't make sense, you can just ask for more information.
Referring someone to xyproblem instead of just telling them you don't understand what they're going for is not really a nice thing to do, and probably makes the person feel like they did something wrong.

[slender nymph]

i asked for clarification and also shared the xyproblem link to show why the clarification was needed. your pointless interjection about what is and is not "nice" is not needed here

[burnt vapor]

Also, https://xyproblem.info/ is a very informative site that thoroughly explains why their question might have to be reconsidered. That's likely something they didn't realize and it greatly helps if they read more about it.

[visual linden]

I'm just saying it can be perceived as a bit hostile, even if I'm sure that wasn't your intent.

[swift crag]

many things can be perceived as a bit hostile, unfortunately

[burnt vapor]

One thing I do think people have to realize is that linking sites like this is not in any way supposed to be a discouraging thing. These things happen so often that sites like these are really useful instead of explaining the problem ourselves.

Same with telling people how to screenshot, or to share code, or how to ask questions in general.

[visual linden]

No, that's fair. Maybe I just have a habit of baby'ing people a bit more because it's #💻┃code-beginner 😅

[summer thorn]

How would I add custom methods to string data type? public override string ToString() {content here} seems to override an existing method, but I'd like to add a new one

[gaunt oar]

Is it a channel for newbie?

[slender nymph]

what do you mean by "add custom methods"

by the sound of it, you are probably asking about extension methods? but you gotta provide more context

[gaunt oar]

I just have an idea and hear about unity 😅

[summer thorn]

Like in JS I think you can modify prototypes, I'd like the same thing to achieve my desired result of being able to run ("test").LengthTimesFour and see 16 being returned

[polar acorn]

Extension methods
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/programming-guide/classes-and-structs/extension-methods

[swift crag]

Yep, that's what you're looking for.

[summer thorn]

Thank youu

[slender nymph]

note that extension methods are basically no different than regular static methods in a utility class, they can just be called as if they are an instance method on specific types of objects

so you won't get access to anything that isn't public on the type

[cerulean badger]

im back

[cerulean badger]

I clicked it before and didnt understand what it meant, but now reading twice I got it

well, in the meanwhile I found another solution to what I want to do, but if you're up to explain me, I'd appreciate how you do what I was talking about before just for the knowledge

[slender nymph]

this is a code channel.
#🥽┃virtual-reality

[slender nymph]

you still need to describe what you were actually trying to achieve so a proper solution could be suggested

[stone flower]

Ok, sorry

[cerulean badger]

basically a system to call different methods with a given context without having dozens of ifs and else

[visual linden]

If you don't know the methods, I suspect you're looking at reflection. Otherwise you'd do something like

dict.Add("StartGame", myClass.StartGame);```
or code generation, I suppose

[slender nymph]

yeah that doesn't really make what you are trying to achieve any clearer

[visual linden]

👆 At this point I will agree

[cosmic dagger]

Do you mean, e.g., having different buttons that do something different (execute a specific method), but you don't know which button is selected?

[edgy tangle]

I remember earlier. If your main concern is having a bunch of if/else there’s a few ways to resolve your issue

Mainly, if you want to use the legacy input system, offload input gathering to a separate MonoBehaviour which raises events for inputs

Then any class which cares about input will just subscribe to those events

[clear isle]

Hey guys, I have a question, I have started to make a voxel engine within Unity to help with my future games, but I saw the news that Unity 7 will have significant (good) changes. Do you think I should wait for a beta of Unity 7 where the core CLR and .NET 9.0 have already been implemented?

[edgy tangle]

Then you’d have the ugly if/else or switch but it’d be hidden off into one class

Other option is use the “new” Input system

[clear isle]

And also I heard that ECS is now going to be the default in Unity, which is great for me

[naive pawn]

do what feels right to you. imo just get to work on it, it'll be easier to migrate from something you have than to make it from scratch again

[silk night]

Its not going to be default, but built-in, easier to access but not forced to use it, also from their announcement they said it get better integration with gameobjects

[visual linden]

It sounds like the "new" input system would solve their concerns

[clear isle]

From what I've seen, it will be the "default" in terms of, instead of having abstractions to use entities with game objects, it will be gameobjects that will have abstractions to be used in the ECS system now

[silk night]

Unity 7 is a good time away from its first LTS, there is not reason not to start on unity 6 and upgrade later

Time waiting will be far larger than the time you need to upgrade

[visual linden]

I believe the ECS changes you're thinking of is lower level changes to how Gameobjects work, where Unity would use a lot of the ECS foundation "under the hood" even in traditional gameobject workflows.
But we're likely talking about mostly non-breaking changes, so I don't think there's any reason why you couldn't start working on your game now in Unity 6, and upgrade later on.

[silk night]

afaik unity is reworking gameobjects to use ecs under the hood

even if the jump is a major version unity usually stays reasonably backwards compatible

[clear isle]

My fear is that because it is a very big change, many things will have to change, since for example the jobs I imagine will no longer exist, since the Tasks do the same work with the same performance in .NET 9.0 but much easier to write, so I would have to refactor the entire project for example

[silk night]

we had smaller projects upgrade from 2021 to 2023 (6) that only needed a package update and code changes in like 5 places after

[silk night]

ECS and jobs packages (as most other packages) are shared and 99% compatible even between major unity versions

also jobs do a lot more than tasks 😄

[clear isle]

The biggest problem with jobs for me is that to do something simple you have to write many lines of code (especially following the current ECS workflow in unity)

[silk night]

You give up simplicity for performance

most of the time you are absolutely fine doing a computation on the main thread, simpler but slower

[steep whale]

anyone know why this is scaling a tilemap insanely small and no amount of code or inspector adjustments makes it bigger or smaller?:

using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.Tilemaps;

public class ScaleTilemapTiles : MonoBehaviour
{
    public Tilemap tilemap;
    public Vector2 scale = new Vector2(0.5f, 0.5f);

    void Start()
    {
     
        if (tilemap != null)
        {
            
            BoundsInt bounds = tilemap.cellBounds;
            foreach (var position in bounds.allPositionsWithin)
            {
                Tile tile = tilemap.GetTile<Tile>(position);
                if (tile != null)
                {
                    
                    tilemap.SetTransformMatrix(position, Matrix4x4.Scale(new Vector3(scale.x, scale.y, 1)));
                    Debug.Log("Scaling tile at position: " + position);
                }
            }
        }
        else
        {
            Debug.LogError("Tilemap not assigned! Please assign a tilemap in the inspector.");
        }
    }
}

[frosty hound]

You have your scale variable set to public which means it will be overridden by whatever value is in the Inspector.

Generally speaking, don't give your public variables a default value for that exact reason, and modify it on the component itself.

If you are changing it in the inspector ... then no idea, bad matrix math? 😬 Debug log the scale to verify

[steep whale]

adjusting the value in inspector has no effect on the problem either?

Hello, i need to put several colliders on my character, and link a script with OnTriggerEnter on each one,
Is it necessary to put as many rigidbodies as colliders?

[steep whale]

the public was the problem. thank you

[scenic crystal]

hey guys question my instructors asking me to insert this here

and i have no clue how

[hexed terrace]

Type it..?

[scenic crystal]

but i have

[hexed terrace]

like, put the cursor where you want to add stuff .. and type what you see..

[scenic crystal]

it keeps giving me some weird error

[hexed terrace]

You have not

sorry, yes you have, the second screenshot is too pixellated

[hexed terrace]

if you have an error - it's not showing in this screenshot.

You haven't typed exactly what was said either (you missed the { })

What you've been told to type is also shit code

[wintry quarry]

Yeah this is a bad tutorial

[hexed terrace]

Transform is an accessible property for every MonoBehaviour, you do not need to ever do GetComponent<Transform>() in this situation.

just do transform.position += upDirection;

[winter creek]

Its obligatory at least one have a rigidbody ? (i would like not because their parent have already a rigidbody for another collider)

[hexed terrace]

What isn't clear about the error?

For every { you have, you MUST have a corresponding }

[scenic crystal]

but i do

[hexed terrace]

You do not, hence the error

[scenic crystal]

i dont see what im missing

[hexed terrace]

The error tells you what you are missing - a }

you've messed up the closing } of the method or class

[scenic crystal]

oh whoops

[eternal needle]

for this singular method you may. scroll up, there are more opening brackets { for the class

[winter creek]

Anyone ?

[hexed terrace]

all colliders will send the message up to their first rigidbody

you could just test it - quicker than asking and waiting 😄

Only ONE class will receive physics events though.

[winter creek]

i spent my entire afternoon on that...
Their first ?
I dont understand
My issue is :
I have a Character with CC and Rb
And 2 children (Child 1 and Child 2) with each one Collider is Trigger
I would like the Child 1 detect the Child 2 form others characters ( and Child 2 detect Child 1 from others characters)

[swift crag]

It's different for collision events and trigger events

I always forget which is which

I want to say that triggers are received on both the object with the collider and the object with the rigidbody, but I could have that backwards.

[swift crag]

You do not need a rigidbody on every object with a collider, no.

[winter creek]

Hum weird thy cant trigger

[swift crag]

https://unity.huh.how/physics-messages/trigger-messages-3d

Go through these pages. They explain all of the requirements.

[hexed terrace]

What I meant, that wasn't stated clearly. 2 components, with physics events in (OnCol.. etc) on the same Go as the RB, only one of these components will receive the messages, not both

[swift crag]

that does not sound right, given how unity messages normally work

[winter creek]

What i note its if Child 1 and Child 2 have not a Rigidbody so they cant OnTriggerEnter()

[swift crag]

yeah, just checked: OnTriggerEnter is sent to both objects. The same goes for OnCollisionEnter

[winter creek]

No every, but one of them

[hexed terrace]

youd put a component with ontrig enter on the parent with the rb

[hexed terrace]

"objects" being..?

[winter creek]

But he already have with a different Collider, i want detect the Child collider..

[swift crag]

both components

attached to the same GameObject

"objects" was vague there

[hexed terrace]

aye, why I asked for clarifaction :p

[hexed terrace]

a child collider sends its messages up the hierarchy until it hits an rb

[swift crag]

additionally, trigger messages are sent to the game object with the collider and the game object with the rigidbody

[fleet venture]

I am really confused does OnEnable get called on like ever script inside of an object when i Instantiate one?
i would expect a inactive script to remain inactive
but it seems to get activated

[swift crag]

however, collision messages are only sent to the game object with the rigidbody

[swift crag]

OnEnable is called upon creation of the MonoBehaviour if it is active and enabled

If it is not yet active and enabled, the method is run as soon as it becomes active and enabled

[fleet venture]

but its not enabled

[swift crag]

this means that its game object must be active and the behaviour must be enabled

[swift crag]

Then OnEnable is not being called. Perhaps you are missing something.

Are you disabling it immediately after instantiation?

That's too late.

[fleet venture]

ok ill explain my rpoblem more then

[winter creek]

So i put the script on the same GO than the rb, but how i can distinguate which collider is the detector ?

[fleet venture]

so does intantiate instantiate the original state

or the current state?

[swift crag]

This is not necessary: #💻┃code-beginner message

The page I linked describes all of the conditions for receiving trigger messages

[swift crag]

Instantiate returns the instantiated object. I'm unclear what "original state" or "current state" would mean here

[near wadi]

Carwash responded in #💻┃unity-talk , in case you missed it

[fleet venture]

ye i did see that

but i thoguth i would move in here

[hexed terrace]

Fen responed better in here

[swift crag]

Here is my test setup. The "Test" component logs when it receives trigger / collision enter messages

[fleet venture]

like if i have enabled a script thats by default disabled and then use instantiate, will the new instance have it enabled or disabled

im trying to debug this issue ive been having where https://paste.ofcode.org/MazWfC9F9HXzpNhgZiw7QA this is causing like a loop and keeps activating itself

[swift crag]

oops, forgot to remove the box collider from the parent. so that's why I was getting too many collison messages...

everything still works as expected, though (:

[fleet venture]

i tried disabling it instantiating and reenabling it but that didnt seem to help

[swift crag]

The resulting object will be an exact copy of the original (as far as Unity-serializeable properties are concerned)

[swift crag]

Have you checked when OnEnable is actually running?

[fleet venture]

so then why does that script in the link i set get in a loop

[swift crag]

log to the console

I see nothing in here that would cause a "loop"

[fleet venture]

ye its running straight after tile = Instantiate(gameObject, transform.position, transform.rotation);

i checked the callstack

with debug mode

[swift crag]

Oh, I see

it's instantiating itself

[fleet venture]

ye but by default this script is disabled so it shouldnt get in a loop

[winter creek]

I have looked already the documentation https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/MonoBehaviour.OnTriggerEnter.html , i know ". At least one of the colliders must be a trigger collider and at least one must be a physics body collider"
I have already the CC on this GO so if put another Collider how i distinguate which one is the detector ?

[hexed terrace]

it instantiates a copy of gameObject which this component is enabled on

[swift crag]

There is no way for the behaviour to not be enabled and still reach that line of code

[fleet venture]

so how do i do this then?

i tried disabling it instantiating and then reenabling it but that didnt seem to work either

[swift crag]

Show that code.

I am a little surprised that that would not work

[swift crag]

https://unity.huh.how/physics-messages/trigger-matrix-3d

this more clearly shows the rules

[red igloo]

I have this elevator with a propeller and they both have animations why doesn't the propeller spin?

https://streamable.com/xruskv

[winter creek]

Hum ok thank you

[swift crag]

because it's in the Elevator state

not the Spin state

perhaps you meant to have two animator layers

that lets you play multiple animations at once

[fleet venture]

okay let me run it again czu unity crashes every time

[swift crag]

I'd add a check for infinite recursion

e.g. the number of game objects in the scene is over 500

[red igloo]

THANK YOU!!!

[swift crag]

or some criteria like that

I've done this before when chasing down infinite recursion

[fleet venture]

oh wait

this time it does work

weird

[swift crag]

on the subject of character controllers: I've gotten some really weird and inconsistent results from those

They act as a collider, so if a non-kinematic rigidbody hits it, you can receive a collision message

You can also receive trigger messages when you get hit by a rigidbody with a trigger collider on it...sometimes?

or was that kinematic rigidbodies that were inconsistent..

I'm not sure what the best option is here, actually. My first guess would be to put a kinematic rigidbody on the same object as the character controller

That should allow your trigger colliders to interact with all other trigger colliders (including those without a rigidbody)

I need to go test all of that stuff again.

[rich adder]

btw CC does 100% work perfectly fine if other triggers do not have rigidbodies to call OnTriggerEnter

[swift crag]

when the CC moves into the trigger collider?

[rich adder]

yea

[rich adder]

what's interesting is it also works with Transforms moving directly and .Move() not being called at all on the CC.

CC is the Capsule btw

[swift crag]

actually, that's exactly what I was testing a while ago

notice how it doesn't instantly hit

it just kind of...eventually hits

i'm not sure what's going on there

[naive pawn]

ah yes, eventual consistency

[swift crag]

😭

[rich adder]

makes sense since its like a query of estimation and not actual collision?

Idk about how unity/nvidia deals with physics queries tbh

[naive pawn]

nvidia?

[rich adder]

yea nvidia made the physics

[naive pawn]

huh..

[rich adder]

Physx

the character controller is directly ripped from here

https://docs.nvidia.com/gameworks/content/gameworkslibrary/physx/guide/Manual/CharacterControllers.html

[swift crag]

I'll have to go bang colliders together some more to find out what's going on there

[naive pawn]

why does "physx" sound like a medical suffix...

[rich adder]

lmao

[rich adder]

also this is me testing with Transform practically teleporting and Move() not being called at all. Maybe that can help precision a bit? tbh I never had issues though with consistency at least from my testing in-game so far in other projects

[rich adder]

kinda amazing how unity flipped this controller for c# / .net tho

PxUserControllerHitReport::onControllerHit basically is OnCharacterControllerHit

[swift crag]

well, yeah, that's the point :p

[rich adder]

Note that the character controller does use overlap queries to determine which shapes are nearby. Thus, SDK shapes that should interact with the characters (e.g. the objects that the character should push) must have the PxShapeFlag::eSCENE_QUERY_SHAPE flag set to true, otherwise the CCT will not detect them and characters will move right through these shapes

I guess Unity applies this for all colliders

or is this for pushing dynamic rb. shits confusing cause there is also CCT-vs-dynamic actors section

[red igloo]

Is there a really simple way to grab objects by pressing E and being able to drag them? I'm making a 3D side view game and I'm getting confused on how to make this. I don't want to use joints as it looks difficult to use lol.

https://streamable.com/yu315y

[rich adder]

whats the problem so far?

eg what did you try

[red igloo]

I haven't started making it yet cause I'm confused on how to take a approach to this.

[rich adder]

arent you pushing it already ?

[red igloo]

Like I want to be able to grab the object and drag and push and I want the object thats being pulled or dragged react to the ground

[rich adder]

did you try the joints? what happened there?

[red igloo]

oops not push I meant pull

[red igloo]

Im not using joints?

[rich adder]

thats why Im asking, did you try?

[red igloo]

no

is that the best way to do it?

[rich adder]

its A way to do, there is no "best way" usually

all problems get solved in different ways

i think joints will be the easiest to try and most straight forward

[red igloo]

which joint would be used in this case?

[rich adder]

I had luck myself for "holding planks" and stuff

[rich adder]

id start with the most robust one

FixedJoint

if you want more slack try the other

[red igloo]

should that component be on the player?

[rich adder]

the tricky part is your object rotates

so you cant just anchor it to the ball

you'd need a way to solve that

for example making ball rotate only visually and not the actual rb

this would let you at least split independently

[red igloo]

If I made it so when the player presses E on the object and the object rigidbody is placed in the connected body (FixedJoint) would that work?

[rich adder]

well thats normally how you fix a rigidbody to something yes

idk if it works, you're the one who can test it lol

[rich adder]

did it work?

[ruby python]

Hi all,

I was just wondering if someone could point me in the right direction on where to look to achieve a 'mortar shell' launch and arc.

Idea being that the rounds get launched randomly from the red x's, and impact at random points within the green circle/area.

I'd like to be able to calculate the 'arc' of travel as I want the player to be able to shoot them in mid air.

[red igloo]

not yet kind of confused on how to add a feature that sounds simple yet hard to implement lol

[mystic ferry]

Maybe you could
If the ball is colliding with the box and if they’re pressing E apply the same directional for to the box game object.

[ruby python]

Not gonna lie, this pretty much sums up gamedev for me. lol.

[mystic ferry]

I never used joints but that was my first thought when I saw your question.

A solution without the joint.

[rocky canyon]

u trying to carry around rigidbody objects? u dont need joints.. thats over complicating it..

[mystic ferry]

lol guy who’s name is Spawn replying to a guy with a profile picture of Spawn.

[red igloo]

well nav said "i think joints will be the easiest to try and most straight forward"

[ruby python]

If that's the case, is it not just a simple case of parent object to player, disable rigidbody?

[rocky canyon]

nah, i normally agree with nav. but not this time
