well u can have two prefabs.. 1 with 0,0,0 and 1 with 90,90,90

and they'll both spawn the exact same place..

up to you to feed in the position and rotation to the Instantiation() call

[alpine gyro]

GridObjectFactory.CreateByTypeAndParent(BookShelfTypes.BookShelf1)
My init is very generic X_x

[polar acorn]

If you duplicate it, you are probably passing a copy of the list of colors for it to use. Then they'd both be sharing the same lists and changes to one would affect both

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/13447248/how-to-assign-listt-without-it-being-a-reference-to-the-original-listt

[alpine gyro]

maybe change the model in blender and export it again is the best option..
THANK YOU VERY MUCH!! LOVE TO LEARN!!

❤️ 🙏 🔥

[earnest wind]

ahhh so thats what was happening, and i had to make the code so squigly just to get this to work but its just cause its a refference

thanks

[wintry quarry]

I mean I don't know how many times I have to say you're using the same list

I said it like 3 times beforew

[earnest wind]

😭 i mean im supposed to use the same list for gradient script

[polar acorn]

Basically this entire script probably needs to be Ol' Yeller'd and rewritten as like twelve different scripts

[earnest wind]

but not for data

[earnest wind]

im not rewriting i just want to get this to work 😭

i will probably look back at this in like 2 years and face palm myself

i know it is very bad code but its cause i was trying to get it to not copy itself 😭

[polar acorn]

This isn't a facepalm moment, this is an "invent time travel to prevent myself from doing this in the first place" kind of moment

[earnest wind]

i trust my future self

i do these mistakes so he wont do any in future

[keen owl]

kind of find it annoying how they went from Rigidbody.velocity to Rigidbody.linearVelocity in unity 6 😦

[polar acorn]

Well, it's more consistent with angularVelocity now

[keen owl]

Yeah the naming is better I guess. I was so used to using velocity lol

[wintry quarry]

Look at what they made me do in my asset store package lol https://github.com/SadnessMonday/BetterPhysics/blob/c7430f2c674bcb53e07e1b84baf2652ba7ac22a2/Assets/BetterPhysics/Runtime/Scripts/RigidbodyExtensions.cs#L8

[keen owl]

damn you added version checks throughout the entire script, must have been annoying

[wintry quarry]

Well I just made these helper functions and used them everywhere so I only had to add them here.

[astral falcon]

Imagine the velocity would have returned linearvelocity in unity 6 by default 😄

[humble hound]

Can someone guide me on how to recreate this camera system with cinemachine

[warm raptor]

why does the value of each of the 3 rotation axes vary when my script is only supposed to affect 2 axes and not 3 ?

private void Sway(float SourisX, float SourisY)
    {
        float sway = SourisX * Time.deltaTime * SwayForce;
        float swayUp = SourisY * Time.deltaTime * SwayForce;
        float swayBack = Time.deltaTime * SwayForceBack;
        float swayUpBack = Time.deltaTime * SwayForceBack;
        CurrentSway += sway;
        CurrentUpSway += swayUp;
        if (sway != 0 && System.Math.Abs(CurrentSway) <= MaxSway)
        {
            Head.transform.Rotate(0, 0, -sway);
        }  
        else if (sway == 0 && CurrentSway > 0 )
        {
            Head.transform.Rotate(0, 0, swayBack);
            CurrentSway -= swayBack;
        }   
        else if (sway == 0 && CurrentSway < 0 )
        {
            Head.transform.Rotate(0, 0, -swayBack);
            CurrentSway += swayBack;
        }       


        if (swayUp != 0 && System.Math.Abs(CurrentUpSway) <= MaxSway)
        {
            Head.transform.Rotate(-swayUp, 0, 0);
        }
        else if (swayUp == 0 && CurrentUpSway > 0 )
        {
            Head.transform.Rotate(swayUpBack, 0, 0);
            CurrentUpSway -= swayUpBack;
        }   
        else if (swayUp == 0 && CurrentUpSway < 0 )
        {
            Head.transform.Rotate(-swayUpBack, 0, 0);
            CurrentUpSway += swayUpBack;
        }
    }

welcome to the shitshow that is euler angles

friends don't let friends use euler angles

Long story short - euler angles are not unique. There are infinite ways to represent any rotation with euler angles, and some ways use some axes and some ways use others.

[warm raptor]

Ahhh I'd heard about the gimble lock and I guess that's what I'm having trouble with?

[wintry quarry]

The computer doesn't know or care or have any way to "prefer" one way or another to represent the rotation

it's not just gimbal lock - it's the ability for rotations to be represented in different ways

[grand snow]

thats true, its stored as a quaternion so as it changes it spits out what it thinks it is in euler for us dumb humans to read

[warm raptor]

But what I don't understand is how we can have problems of this kind. Isn't the reference frame for each of the three axes supposed to be a right-handed triad?

[wintry quarry]

Every rotation can be represented in an infinite number of ways. For example:
0, 0, 180
is the same as
180, 180, 0

[grand snow]

tbh i dont know but the xyz euler rotation is not really what the rotation is, i dont know how quaternion -> euler conversion is done but dont worry about it if its working

[wintry quarry]

And since the rotation is not actually stored as euler angles, it will just try its best to come up with something human readable

[warm raptor]

so I guess I have to use quaternion? (I had already tried to understand how it works, but I didn't get it, but if that's the only solution, let's go suffer and try to understand! )

[polar acorn]

The general rule is "Always Read or Always Write, never both".

Store your own copies of what you want each angle to be, and set the eulerAngles to them. Never read the values from it, use your stored values instead

[wintry quarry]

Can you explain what the issue you're actually having is?

[teal viper]

No. You don't have to. Is there an actual issue that you have with the current approach?

[wintry quarry]

So far it seems to be just "I don't like these ugly numbers in my inspector"?

[warm raptor]

⚠️ be careful if you're epileptic, I'm going round and round in the video.

In fact, my problem is that over time, the “Sway” effect I've created causes the camera to lean to one side.

[wintry quarry]

what does the hierarchy look like?

I would just have a Vector3 localRotation variable

and modify that

and set transform.localEulerAngles to it

you wcan fully manage that vector

[wintry quarry]

and it won't ever stray out of control

the fact that you're using transform.Rotate means all this logic is unbounded

it's just additive, and there's nothing keeping it near 0

[warm raptor]

ok , I'm going to try this.
but I don't understand the difference between the 2? because they both represent the rotation of the same object?

[wintry quarry]

Rotate adds to the current rotation

you're not staying in control of the values

you're kind of blindly adding

by keepiung your own variable you will stay in full control of it

[warm raptor]

ok thanks I see!

I have 2 issues with my player movement which I would love to have people's suggestions to fix.

1. When I turn, I am flipping my sprite/animations, the problem is that when I am next to a wall and turn, I go through the wall and fall

2. Now I have set it to if I am not grounded, I cant jump, the problem is that when i go off a platform without jumping, I can use a "saved" jump and jump midair.

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

[wintry quarry]

1. Make sure your SpriteRenderer is on a separate GameObject and you only flip the sprite object. Leave your physics objects and components completely untouched by the turning, which should only be graphical.
2. OnTriggerEnter2D for a grounded check isn't the best idea. Use a direct physics query every frame to see if you're currently grounded. For example a Raycast

[mossy jasper]

im switching to roblox studio bro😭 🙏

[wanton epoch]

So I am trying to solve the first issue, the problem is that when I try to put my sprite renderer in its own gameobject (I am copying the values and stuff), my animitions dont play and stay on 1 thing

[wintry quarry]

move the animator

or modify the animator to animate the child object instead

hello everyone, does anyone know why the gas leaks dont destroy themselves once the gasbag is out of air?

private IEnumerator AirLeakageRoutine()
    {
        while (amountOfGas > 0)
        {
            amountOfGas -= totalAirLeakageRate;
            if (amountOfGas < 0)
            {
                amountOfGas = 0;
            }
            yield return new WaitForSeconds(1);
        }
        OnAirDepleted();
    }

    private void OnAirDepleted()
    {
        Debug.Log("Gasbag is out of air!");
        for (int i = gasLeaks.Count - 1; i >= 0; i--)
        {
            var leak = gasLeaks[i];
            if (leak != null)
            {
                leak.GetComponent<ParticleSystem>().Stop();
                Destroy(leak);
            }
            gasLeaks.RemoveAt(i);
        }
        gasLeaks.Clear();
    }

[wintry quarry]

Fix all this shit

[wintry quarry]

What is gasLeaks?

[toxic frigate]

particlesystem

[slender nymph]

also the RemoveAt call is pointless

[toxic frigate]

oh wait

[wintry quarry]

You are destroying the particle system then

not the GameObject

also yes this particular RemoveAt is pointless

as is the reverse iteration

[toxic frigate]

its a list with gameobjects

i misread, apologies

[wintry quarry]

Put Debug.Log in there right before destroying it

Debug.Log($"Destroying {leak.name}");```

it's possible your list is empty or full of null references

[last owl]

is it possible to lerp random.range numbers to another random.range numbers? so for example random.range(4, 8) to random.range(1, 4) over a certain amount of time

[wintry quarry]

Lerp is a math function that immediately returns a new value between the input values

Random.Range immediately returns a random value

you can create two random numbers and lerp from one to the other sure

but beyond that it's not clear what you're asking

[wanton epoch]

hey, sorry to nbother you again, I have been messing with stuff to seprate my animator/sprite from my scripts, now the issue is that I assign my animotor in the inspector, but as soon as I start my game, my animator just disappears and I have to reassign it.

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

[wintry quarry]

animator = GetComponent<Animator>(); // Fetch the Animator component```

pay attention to your code

[last owl]

I have a spawner that spawns enemies every 4-8 seconds but over the course of game runtime I want it to increase to every 1-4 seconds

but not instantly switch from 4-8 to 1-4 I want it to gradually increase

[wintry quarry]

So change the min and max values over time

min = Mathf.Lerp(startingMin, endingMin, time / duration);

Honestly though you should use an animation curve for this

public AnimationCurve MinCurve;
public AnimationCurve MaxCurve;
float timer = 0;

void Update() {
  timer += Time.deltaTime;

  float min = MinCurve.Evaluate(timer);
  float max = MaxCurve.Evaluate(timer);
}```

then just use min and max in your Random.Range whenever you need to

which presumably is at the moment each enemy spawns

[last owl]

hm interesting thanks, I will have to look into animationcurves more I had no idea it could be used like that

So ive been doing the fix for the going through wall, the good thing is im not going through the wall, the problem is that now my sprite clips through the wall and my collider is not aligned.
https://paste.mod.gg/ouatuexpypgc/0

Sorry for ping if it bothers.

the left picture is the most I can run to the left.

before my collider touches the wall

[wintry quarry]

so open your object and align it

seems like your collider and your sprite aren't matching up

adjust the position of the sprite and/or the position and size of the collider so they match

Also good idea to make sujre this is set to Pivot

so you can actually tell where your objects are

[zinc lintel]

Hello, my OnTriggerEnter doesn't seem to be working for the objects i have with the tag "Obstacle", I think it's because i'm teleporting the object but i'm not sure it could be something else.
I'm spawning an item with a 2d collider at a random place, and i have an object with a 2nd 2d collider and a rigidbody, i'm trying to make it so that if that random place happens to be inside that object, it will try to spawn it again somewhere else but it's not working

[wanton epoch]

The thing is that for idle it is correct but the running animation moves the player to the side.

and i cant have a collide thats wide af

[wintry quarry]

Put a Debug.Log statemetnt as the first line in your OnTriggerEnter2D method

and print out what oobject it's seeing and what its tag is

[zinc lintel]

I'll try that

[wintry quarry]

Yeah because why is the sprite and the collider offset to the left like that

fix them

[wanton epoch]

wdym offset to the left?

[wintry quarry]

Look at where the pivot is

it's the red and green arrow thing

[wanton epoch]

ooooh you meant that

[wintry quarry]

your sprite and the collider are off to the left

[wanton epoch]

true true

[wintry quarry]

everything should be in the middle

for both directions

and you should double check your spritesheet and how the sprites were sliced

it may be that you have a bunch of empty space in the sliced sprites on opposite sides for the left and right facing sprites

make sure all the sprites are tight around the actual pixels

[wanton epoch]

ill have to check since its a free asset. Also, im trying to center the stuff so that they arent offset but everything just moves with the pivot

[wintry quarry]

the SpriteRenderer shoul;d be a child obnject so you can move it independently.
For the collider you need to adjust it from the inspector

you can change the center

and the offsets or whatever

(and there should be an edit collider button too)

[zinc lintel]

It sees my objects, is it possible that it's working but eventually it just stops, like when the next frame is generated for example ?

[wintry quarry]

what do you mean by it stops

[zinc lintel]

As in it doesn't chose another random location

[wintry quarry]

I assume that's some part of the code I haven't seen?

I have no idea what choosing a random location means

[wintry quarry]

If that code is running, it's running

Debug.Log to make sure it's running

but, presumably it's running if you called the SpawnFood function

Now if the logs STOP then it's not running anymore

[wanton epoch]

I adjusted the stuff, the issue still persists sadly

[wintry quarry]

what issue

[wanton epoch]

the clipping through walls and not being able to go completely left

[wintry quarry]

Show this same screenshot but when you're facing left

[wanton epoch]

this

[wintry quarry]

no

show it with the gizmos

in scene view

like the above shot

[wanton epoch]

oh

[wintry quarry]

yep see

[wanton epoch]

ye okay

[wintry quarry]

I think this is clearly an issue with your sprites

[zinc lintel]

It stops calling it eventually, i don't know why because the object is almost in the dead center of that hitbox

[wanton epoch]

too much empty space?

[zinc lintel]

Actually it stops seeing the object, not calling the function

[wintry quarry]

Open the prite editor, you need to fix the pivots and/or empty space on the left-facing ones

or maybe on both

[wintry quarry]

what object is it seeing instead

[zinc lintel]

Nothing, the last line in the console was the tp log

[wintry quarry]

Then there's nothing entering the trigger anymore

[hollow palm]

Greetings, I want to ask something that has been really bothering me lately. Is there a performance difference between:
-The 5 enemies each have their own script for moves.
-1 script manager controls all moving enemies.

Enemy move logic will be like this:

Transform[] pathPoints;

public void Move()
    {
        if (currentPathIndex < pathPoints.Length)
        {
            transform.position = Vector2.MoveTowards(transform.position, 
                pathPoints[currentPathIndex].position, speed * Time.deltaTime);

            if (Vector2.Distance(transform.position, pathPoints[currentPathIndex].position) < 0.1f)
            {
                currentPathIndex++;
            }
        }
    }

[zinc lintel]

How does that happen if it's in the middle of the trigger box 😭 ?

[wintry quarry]

Yes a slight performance difference but if there are only 5 of them it's not a big deal

[wintry quarry]

are you entering it

it only happens when you first enter it

if you didn't exit

you won't enter again

[zinc lintel]

Ohhhhh, i see, thanks !!

So something like this should work right ? If everytime it enters it i put it far away and do it again ?

[wintry quarry]

no

honestly I'm not sure i understand what you're trying to do here

[hollow palm]

if so, do you have an estimate of how many objects could affect performance difference with that implementation?

[wintry quarry]

OnTriggerEnter etc only will run during the physics update

[wintry quarry]

it won't matter until you reach hundreds of objects

[wanton epoch]

would you recommend I slice or trim to fix the empty spaces? i just sliced and that completely broke the animations.

[wintry quarry]

Honestly you are wasting your time if you think too much about this before it's actually a problem

if you encounter a performance problem, worry about it then

[zinc lintel]

I'm teleporting an object around on a map, but it has walls and i want to make it so that if it spawns inside a wall, it choses another place to go to until it finds an empty space

[wintry quarry]

use the profiler to see what your performance bottlenecks are if you have a framerate issue.

[hollow palm]

so object oriented still goes brr than data oriented right? under hundred of objects

[wintry quarry]

YOu should use direct physics queries for the "sampling" part

e.g. Physics2D.OverlapSphere

[hollow palm]

well ok then, thank you for the advice

really help me

[wintry quarry]

The difference is too miniscule to matter when there are few objects, so it's better to just do what's easier to program

[zinc lintel]

Thank you, i'll try looking it up !

[wintry quarry]

sorry OverlapCircle

SPheres are 3D 😛

[summer thorn]

agile development #1: fast shipping > fast optimizations

[hollow palm]

i see

Pardon me, I'm paranoid about my current mobile game project

i thought that mobile game should do more optimization

[hollow palm]

wait, then why community are so mad about cyberpunk 2077 for the poor performance?

[summer thorn]

you'll know you need to use a more optimized approach when you need to

[hollow palm]

okok

[summer thorn]

i didn't design their framework, no idea what issues they had

[hollow palm]

yea im sorry, just stupid question

[zinc lintel]

Uhm what does this mean ?

It happens when i try to build

[polar acorn]

You appear to be trying to use a namespace that doesn't exist

What is on the line the error indicates

[polar acorn]

Because Cyberpunk had a budget that dwarfed several entire nations GDP and literally did not function at launch

[timber tide]

as well as their own probably

imagine the best job you can get in your country is a deskjob at a video game company

[drifting cosmos]

i dont get how gameobjects work like can you spawn them like an object in c# like a class and its constructor parameters like enemy(speed, damage)

[slim salmon]

Don't give up, send me a dm any time and i can help you.

[timber tide]

Gameobjects are objects that exists in the scene, and include some type of transform. They don't necessarily need a 2D/3D render but they will be there in your scene hierarchy.

and no, you don't have the ability to use a normal c# constructor with them since it's required to use Unity's instantiation method

doesn't mean you can't make your own initialization method or serializing the values in the editor

[teal viper]

They are objects in C#, but also possibly linked to an object in C++. Unity manages them on the engine level.
You can create them via a constructor(in contrast to components).

[teal viper]

Pretty sure you can.

[timber tide]

Whatcha mean? It uses the default constructor

Serialization is done through reflection bullcrap, right (when instantiating)

[teal viper]

They have several constructors that you can use:
https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.0/Documentation/ScriptReference/GameObject-ctor.html

[timber tide]

Oh yeah, I guess what I mean is you can't use a constructor on your monos, but for gameobject yeah you can create them in code if you wanted. I actually didn't know you could pass in components like that though

Not that I would ever do that, haha

[drifting cosmos]

so like when a game object is spawned does all the awake and start functions run right away

[rich ice]

yup, this might be helpful

[timber tide]

Yeah, that's where you can also do some initialization as well as like I said you don't have a constructor for your monobehaviours

Ideally you should be just using prefabs, and not constructing new gameobjects. Unless you're doing something generative game, but even then you'd have something templated where you are only adding onto those objects after instantiating that template.

[teal viper]

You're mixing up several concepts here. GameObjects and components(including MonoBehaviour) are separate things. GameObject is just a container for components. It doesn't do much else. Components can have Awake/Start and other unity callbacks on them. When you create a new GameObject, the engine eventually calls the relevant callbacks on its components.

[drifting cosmos]

i thought you attached prefabs to objects

[rocky canyon]

prefabs are just gameobjects, with pre-configured components

[wintry quarry]

You can use either, depending on the effect you're going for

Although this is not a code question

It belongs in #💻┃unity-talk

[tough shard]

Thanks! I'll move the question there.

[bitter apex]

okay so I have a gameobject with a rigid body which acts as a character, and then thousands of other game objects which do not have rigid bodies and only have box colliders. I don't particularly want the ones with box colliders to collide with eachother, which is why I haven't just given them all rigid bodies, but I do want the rigid body game objects to collide with the box collider ones

I'm not quite sure how to go about doing that, though?

all in 2d

[trail bloom]

The game I built as an APK in Unity doesn't work the same way as it does in the Unity editor. Some objects that should appear on the screen are missing

gpt said its all about resulation or eventsystem or screen render mod but its not

can anyone help me with that

[bitter apex]

nvm 🤦‍♂️

stupid problem required a stupid solution

[wintry quarry]

Certainly use a hashset instead of a list

Hashsets don't allow duplicates

[nimble apex]

no, i want the duplicates

[wintry quarry]

Then why are you calling Distinct

[nimble apex]

im brainrotten rn 💩

hold on

lemme think of another way

[wintry quarry]

What's the actual question then

[grand snow]

HashMap is better to avoid duplicates as you add things (also try to give the list a start size)

though for a small list, a Contains() check isnt so bad

[wintry quarry]

HashSet you mean**?

[grand snow]

bleh yes

i was just reading some cpp forgib 🙏

[nimble apex]

temp is now populated with all objects , find out repeated objects

        List<GameObject> temp = new List<GameObject>();
        
        foreach (AllStepObj_Value key in allObj.Steps)
        {
            foreach (GameObject value in key.Objects)
            {
                temp.Add(value);
            }
        }

        possibleRepeatedObj = temp.repeatedobj();//pseudo code```

im not trying to delete duplicated objects btw, i need all of them exists, i just need to use it for other purposes

[wintry quarry]

Use a HashSet

When you call Add if it returns false it was a duplicate

You can put the duplicates into a second HashSet or a second list

[nimble apex]

damn it can use intersect and union?

nice

[wintry quarry]

Yes

[tulip stag]

Is there an opposite to [SerializeField]?

As in, a field that you want to be public so you can do stuff with it in code, but when using the JSON utility it won't get serialized into the JSON?

[keen dew]

[NonSerialized]

or make it a property

[tulip stag]

Aight perfect

[rugged beacon]

i have a random path that can branch off into other paths, trying to find the furthest point, so like find the furthest node in a graph ? any recommend approach?

[night raptor]

So furthest point along the shortest path?

[rugged beacon]

no

furthest point

along the paths

[night raptor]

I don't see the difference

[rugged beacon]

A is start i want to find C, not B

[night raptor]

That's what I meant, maybe didn't articulate it very clearly

[night raptor]

What I meant by shortest path is that you are not looking to find the absolute longest path (pictured below) from A but the furthest away from A that one could get (longest distance from the shortest paths between A and all the other nodes)

So this would be what you are looking for right?

[rugged beacon]

in my case the graph wont be connected, there will be deadends, i want to find the furthest deadend

more like i want to find the furthest point, not the furthest path

get it ?

[night raptor]

by "connected" do you mean it doesn't have cycles?

[night raptor]

I do

[rugged beacon]

like the B point will only have one connected

idk im lost

[keen dew]

You can use A* and let it run until it has covered the entire graph. The last node it reaches is the furthest point.

[night raptor]

so is it basically a tree?

One could definitely use dijkstras algoritm but for trees I believe simple BST would be faster

[rugged beacon]

do a* always better than dijkstra

or in this case

[keen dew]

🤷 try them both and measure

[night raptor]

I don't think A* would do much in this case since there's no target point

A* is useful to reduce the search space (focus the search more towards the target), in this case all nodes must be searched anyways I think

[rugged beacon]

i have tried to use a* for the shortest path, just a plug and use, never know it can do furthest point

[night raptor]

Can it? At least I cannot think of a way to use A* in this case...

[rugged beacon]

do you have a guide walking through djikstra on unity ? 2d would be nice

[night raptor]

First I would like to make sure we are talking of the same type of graph. If you don't have cycles in your graph, there's no need to go through the trouble of implementing dijkstra either

no, I don't know of dijkstra tutorial on unity

[queen adder]

NEED HELP ASAP

When i change teh scene, it instantly chabges back to the original one

[proper yacht]

Why is it so? I've read from docs this method to access actions within code but it throws this

[night raptor]

@rugged beacon Let me put it this way. If you take any two points A and B from your graph, is there always at most one possible route from A to B? I also assume your graph is not directed (any edge can be travelled both ways)

[rugged beacon]

im researching what the diff between tree and graph lol

[proper yacht]

that object

[night raptor]

tree is one type of graph

[rugged beacon]

yes

[night raptor]

What you drew here would be a tree. If you drew new edge here, it would now have a cycle and wouldn't be a tree anymore

[rugged beacon]

yes that can happend

my dugeon

actually no this generation

actually i jsut checked, im fairly certain there wont be loop

its tree

[queen adder]

oh shoot never mind its even worse

every scene that changes just goes to the game scene instantly

regardless of the scripts or anything

it goes for a second

[night raptor]

If it is always a tree it will make your life easier by a lot. For tree you don't need dijkstras algoritm or anything as complicated. You can just do a DFS (depth first search) from the starting position and keep track of the path lengths for each node, at the end you can figure the longest path

[queen adder]

and then goes back to the game scene

[rugged beacon]

you just make me realize the generation flaw lmao, i need to update it to have loops, guess it will be djik then

[night raptor]

Yup. If you need cycles/loops, use dijkstras. Games usually want to find the shortest path between two given points which suits A* very well. A* is basically just extension to dijkstras algorithm where heuristic is added to guide the search. To implement dijkstras, you could follow any A* tutorial and just leave out the heuristic calculations and use the G cost alone in the place of G + H that is used in A* to choose which node to search next

[rugged beacon]

bet thanks, i understand your first 2 sentences

[night raptor]

understandable, you will hear more of these terms: G costs, H costs, heuristics etc. if you start following any A* tutorial

[rugged beacon]

i will try finding dijkstra tutorial, there has to be some

[night raptor]

There might. If one specifically for unity doesn't exist, I'm not too surprised though

@rugged beacon May I ask, what you need the furthest point for? Just to make sure were are not in the XY land

[rugged beacon]

furthest room is exit room

furthest room contain the furthest tile stuff

but when i generate the dungeon, i store the corridor in a seperate list so just need furthst point

[night raptor]

Makes sense, definitely not XY then, I would go for dijkstra, if there is some better way, I'm interested to know

[queen adder]

this is due in 3 hours, please can anyone help? Ive tried a different more simpler script but the same still persists, im really lost

its the lasgt thing keeping it from beign finished

[night raptor]

Sounds like you have some script that loads the same scene instantly again. Never heard of scenes loading on their own. Please share the scripts you feel relevant for scene loading

[queen adder]

should just be this using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.SceneManagement;

public class Ded : MonoBehaviour
{
private string nextSceneName;

private void OnCollisionEnter2D(Collision2D collision)
{
    if (collision.gameObject.CompareTag("Player"))
        SceneManager.LoadScene(2);
}

}

i can share the whole scene that teleports back too if need

[night raptor]

So is it the scene number 1 or what is that gets loaded unnecessarily?

[queen adder]

Yes

Scene one pops up instantly after the appropiate scene does

[night raptor]

Are you sure there's no other script that loads scenes? I don't see a way this script could load anything other than scene 2

[queen adder]

il look around

AHA I FOUND THE CULPRIT HOPEFULLY

theres a stray script that loads it

[night raptor]

I'm not surprised

Unity noob here, I couldn't find good information on this:
I need to allow users to add custom content (animated meshes, textures etc.)
not just one but more like a prefab, things that will spawn randomly in large numbers

I'm trying to use UnityGLTF for this.
There's no way to create a gameobject hierarchy at runtime without instantiating it into the scene like GLTFSceneImporter does?
It feels wrong to put a gameobject hierarchy, only to remove it again to make prefab out of it
Actually creating prefabs at runtime is also not possible? why?

I'm kind of confused what the correct approach is, I can't call the GLTFSceneImporter and then setup the components for each single instance i want to spawn

[rich adder]

lord..how did you manage you send the raw html and not the generated link to the code on site

thats a first around here I think

delete and try again

[cobalt relic]

Hello,
How can I force old users to update their app before continuing the game?
am using playfab and photon in my game

[stray thorn]

omd mb

how do i do that

[rich adder]

keep track of a specific variable of yours or use the built in Project versioning built in. Do a simple numbercheck
like if playerVersion < currentVersion

[rich adder]

paste code in the site, hit Save. Copy and Paste the url generated

1 per script

[stray thorn]

okay this is the movement https://paste.mod.gg/ijrwfxljmrgs/0

[cobalt relic]

I can manage this in the future by using version checks, bundle ID checks, and other methods. However, the issue is how I can force old users who don’t have the necessary scripts to check for updates

[stray thorn]

and grapple https://paste.mod.gg/icgkdwekgogd/1

[rich adder]

make video of whats happening ?

btw you should not multiply your mouseInputs by deltaTime, you can remove that and lower sens

I bet you cranked sens to really high numbers cause of it

Mouse inputs return you the distance mouse has moved since last frame, its already framerate-independent

[rich adder]

you sent grapple script as MovementPlayer btw

[stray thorn]

oops https://paste.mod.gg/vexvjnqsolsc/0

[rich adder]

can you show a video? of issue

#🧰┃ui-toolkit

[subtle veldt]

Oh okay sry

[long drum]

'MonoBehaviour' does not contain a definition for 'OnTriggerEnter'

Can anyone help with this? I don't know why it thinks this isn't a method/message

[rich adder]

show what you wrote in full context

[long drum]

I am trying to inherit this, as the class I want to use it isn't directly monobehaviour but inherits from a class that is

public virtual void OnTriggerEnter(Collider collider)
{
base.OnTriggerEnter();
}

this is in the class that is

intellisense says it's ok but Unity doesn't

[polar acorn]

It doesn't think that method exists because it doesn't.

[polar acorn]

So, this is on a class that extends MonoBehaviour. There is no base.OnTriggerEnter to call

[long drum]

how do I call a collision trigger from a class that isn't a monobehaviour, but inherits from one?

[polar acorn]

If a class extends MonoBehaviour, it is a MonoBehaviour

[steep depot]

hello y'all! I wanted to know if there's a platform to learn C# or just how to do it

[long drum]

intellisense wasn't initially saying it was a predefined function, but I reset visual studio code, and now it does (but OnCollisionEnter still doesn't show up with intellisense)

[rich adder]

check pins in this channel

[steep depot]

thx

[polar acorn]

base calls a function in the direct parent class. MonoBehaviour does not have a function OnTriggerEnter, so calling base.OnTriggerEnter isn't a thing. What are you trying to accomplish with that?

[long drum]

I've removed that now, but if I have a class that inherits from a class that inherits from monobehavior, I can use ontriggerenter?

[polar acorn]

Yes

[long drum]

it wasn't working initially, so I tried this to form a chain to get it, but apparently that's not how it works

[polar acorn]

A class that extends MonoBehaviour is a MonoBehaviour, and as such, something that extends that is also a MonoBehaviour

[long drum]

I think vscode was bugging out or something; but I still can only see intellisense detecting some monobehaviour methods and such

[rich adder]

are you sure its actually configured properly, show entire window

[long drum]

what window?

well, intellisense partially works; and debugging works between unity and visual studio code

[rich adder]

you said vscode was limited showing intellisense methods

[long drum]

yeah, it's definitely a bit broken or something

now GameObject variables aren't highlighting yellow/being autocompleted with intellisense

[rich adder]

does your vscode say Assembly-CSharp at the bottom ?
what kinda methods aren't showing ? MB dont have many methods actually exposed to begin with
mainly GetComponent

[void dawn]

i programmed a zombie enemy but he comes at the player backwards

[rich adder]

your orientation of model is wrong

You likely setup everything in Global mode

[long drum]

no, it doesn't say that, from what I can see

[void dawn]

can you tell me how to fix that please ?

[rich adder]

you dont have this at bottom of vsc ?

[rich adder]

Well first you'd put your gizmos in localmode then align the model to match the actual forward of the navmesh agent

[long drum]

that's where it says debug configuration stuff

currently it's "Attach to Unity"

[rich adder]

oh idk to me its at top right . check its actually connected properly

[long drum]

it is, because debugging works

[rich adder]

well only showing some variables/methods sounds like it isn't but idk

[long drum]

actually, next to projects at the bottom left, it has a loading circle spinning

[polar acorn]

Rotate the model so its "front" side is aligned with the forward arrow of the NavMeshAgent's transform

[long drum]

before that is where it says attach to unity (and my project name)

[rich adder]

ohh..that shouldn't be spinning still tho is it..

with a script open normally it should say what i sent in SS. If its stuck loading something it might be cause of wonkly intellisense

[long drum]

yeah, I restarted it before and it fixed some intellisense stuff, but also then did a .NET update/download of some kind

maybe that broke something even more

[rich adder]

I use the latest .net 9 sdk and works flawless. Unity extension version 1.1

make sure also your unity Visual Studio Editor package is full up to date too . might help

close VSC and regen project files button from External Tools in unity maybe.

[long drum]

well, I just found something saying restart to update

but that still didn't fix it :l (it did do something though)

[rich adder]

do you know which ones are giving you trouble ?

[long drum]

it all seems broken right now; I just reconfigured it to open with visual studio 2022 instead now; maybe I'll try again tomorrow, but maybe this will work better anyway

Thanks for the help. If I can get this working properly in visual studio 2022, it'll probably be better. Intellisense is definitely already working in this

[rich adder]

if it works it works.
VS is more battle tested its older

VSC has its quirks sometimes

[long drum]

one more thing, I guess OnCollisionEnter triggers if any colliders collide I guess, and OnTriggerEnter only triggers if a collider that "Is Trigger" collides?

I think I'm right because I changed the prefab units' box collider is trigger checkbox setting (that was wordy :P) and now my code works, yay

[cosmic dagger]

That's how it's suppose to work. OnCollision is a collision with a regular collider. OnTrigger is a collision with a collider set to isTrigger . . .

If you need more info, always check the Unity !docs for each method . . .

[eternal falcon]

[long drum]

@cosmic dagger oh, I have been. I looked up the Collider.IsTrigger page just after I guessed at what a box collider's is trigger checkbox does when I saw it

[cosmic dagger]

That's great. It should always be the first place to check . . .

[late burrow]

i forgot once again how to make script run automatically without gameobject

[swift crag]

there is [RuntimeInitializeOnLoad], which lets you execute a static method as the game starts
https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/RuntimeInitializeOnLoadMethodAttribute.html

[mystic ferry]

It never occurred to me to even think of doing that lol.

[late burrow]

i want it both editor both runtime

basically executealways something

[rich adder]

You can use editor script to also do continuous polling (you need [InitializeOnLoad] )

static EditorUpdateExample(){
        EditorApplication.update += Update;
    }
    private static void Update(){
        Debug.Log("editor updating...");
    }``` some like that

oh just saw runtime.. this wont work in build nvm

[late burrow]

well none of these seem to work

[ExecuteAlways]
public class ab
{
    static ab()
    {
        Debug.Log("works2");
    }
    [RuntimeInitializeOnLoadMethod]
    static void stuf()
    {
        Debug.Log("works3");
    }
}```

[slender nymph]

RuntimeInitializeOnLoadMethod is obviously only for runtime. the editor version is just InitializeOnLoadMethod
https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.0/Documentation/ScriptReference/InitializeOnLoadMethodAttribute.html

[swift crag]

note that ExecuteAlways is only meaningful on a MonoBehaviour

[swift crag]

i finally realized that this is just RuntimeInitializeOnLoadMethod without the "Runtime" in front

i am so smart

[pliant ridge]

trying the new input system - my button is started and performed twice from one press?

okay somehow i fixed it by deleting and resetting stuff idk

[static stag]

hey guys, i'm using line renderer to render a grid for my 2d map editor. Now i was implementing a zoom out and the grid just get messed up as soon as i change the fov. Any advice ?

[rich adder]

probably not a code question.
which way they get mesed up?

[static stag]

Changed fov :

normal

[static stag]

the yellow square shows the 1x1 size which the grid normally has

[rich adder]

ohhh i see

could be some setting on the camera filtering or something like that?
I'm no expert on these, but might be better off using a shader for grids

[static stag]

it looks like they are just not rendered anymore

like removing details when zooming out, so maybe it's really not a code question 😄

[rich adder]

hmm def not the code at all if looks fine zoomed in. Its either the prospective warping or the camera far away / filtering causing distortion

[rich adder]

if its 2d why do you have a Prospective camera

shouldnt you be using Orthographic

[static stag]

testing purpose, using Orthographic and changing "Size" results in the same result

[rich adder]

maybe try pixel perfect ?

[static stag]

the funny thing is (i used unity zoom for this pic)

the line renderer , renders on the texture 😄

[rich adder]

ahh fawk

def dont wanna be zoomin with that lol

[static stag]

yea it was just to take a screenshot of the behaviour 😄 that the line renderer, render on the sprite texture

https://discussions.unity.com/t/lines-are-disappearing-and-merging-as-i-zoom-out/230639

let's see

[rich adder]

ah maybe, like i said before I also suspect something to do with filtering

[static stag]

okay setting MSAA to 8x fixxed the problem 😄

funny to see what can cause this type of problems 😄 Maybe i'll take a look at shaders next. Thx for help anyway

[rocky canyon]

ya, game-dev is chocked full of little things that no one would ever plan for..

fun thing.. is even if u come up with a solution u may find out months later u actually found one of the worst solutions lol

[prime cobalt]

Does anyone know a good perspective trickery method to make guns aim at the center of the screen? Because in order for the gun to look nice in the view model it has to be tilted a bit making the projectile take a noticeable angle at long ranges.

[gleaming wagon]

Hey, I don't find where to post this so I will just ask it here. Why can I not move stuff in my unity folders anymore? Like at all... I tried to search for a solution but nothing works.

The rest works fine btw its just that

[wintry quarry]

Context? Are we talking about a first person game?

[prime cobalt]

Yes

[wintry quarry]

Make the gun look however you'd like it to look to look nice

It doesn't have to match up with the actual projectile

[gleaming wagon]

Use a second camera to render the gun and overlay it.

[wintry quarry]

you can have an imaginary "visual projectile" the player sees that looks nice but isn't the actual raycast

[prime cobalt]

The game has bullet time so you can see the projectile leave the gun

[wintry quarry]

I think it would be worthwhile for you to watch this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EpkvNUoxlxM

[gleaming wagon]

Anyone have any ideas... The only "solution" is to manually move them in the file explorer which is really fucking time consuming for every single file

[prime cobalt]

OK thanks I'll watch that

[swift crag]

did you run at the editor as an admin, by any chance

i know that drag-and-drop can get screwed up by that

[prime cobalt]

Nvm I should have done more research first. This is the way that FEAR works as well. It just hides it well and I assumed incorrectly.

[swift crag]

I've tried doing a "real" first person view before. You can compensate for the offset by having the gun rotate to point exactly at whatever the crosshair is over

[tired wigeon]

Is there a better way to begin learning c# than using https://learn.microsoft.com/en-gb/dotnet/csharp/tour-of-csharp/tutorials/list-collection?tutorial-step=1 ? it's really uninteresting to me and doesn't engage me nicely I tried their video guide but as most people say in those comments it doesn't tell you what you already need and assumes prior knowledge (which I probably have now from doing some of this) but I'd just like something more engaging? there's a chance I could go back to the Learn unity now I have a very basic understanding I just don't want to go in half cocked but it's taking me days to get through this because it burns me out so fast

[swift crag]

but this can cause a slight change in aim to dramatically change where the weapon is pointing

[swift crag]

you can also pull the weapon back when you get too close to a wall

[wanton epoch]

I am having this issue where I am trying to set my camera a bound so that it doesnt show the blue background thing. The issue, is that soon as I set this bound on my cinemachine camera, my player gets teleported outside the bound when I start the game.

Would love a suggestion on this.

[swift crag]

the player is hitting the collider!

put it on a layer that doesn't interact with the player, or just turn off the collider

[wanton epoch]

I forgot to turn off the collider Facepalm

Well that fixed that issue

now I need to learn how to put the same bound on my player

[gleaming wagon]

No I didn’t

Should I try

[swift crag]

Nope -- it should not be run that way

can you drag a file from outside unity into the project window?

[gleaming wagon]

No, the same icon appears

the red block one

[wanton epoch]

sorry to bother you, but would you by any chance know of a tutoria lthat would allow me to limit my player to the screen like the camera? Ive only seen tuts for top down but no platformer yet.

[swift crag]

You could slap some colliders on the side!

or you could manually clamp the player's position

find their screen position, clamp that to 0..screen width and 0..screen height, and turn that back into a world position

[wanton epoch]

Im gonna guess thats the easier but less optimal option?

[muted pawn]

can u try unchecking the „run as admin“ again and restart?

or do u use anything like google drive related to backup the project or something??

[gleaming wagon]

I had onedrive backing it up and thought that might be an issue, so I copied every file and put it into a different folder that is not backed up by onedrive. The issue persists.

[swift crag]

i do enjoy blaming onedrive for editor problems

so you opened the copied project?

[gleaming wagon]

Yep, same issue

[muted pawn]

i think once the folders are in onedrive is kind corrupts them idk how to explain it in good english sorry

that sucks tho

[gleaming wagon]

Ugh

I have a github repository

Think I should copy it from there

and try again?

Man I always get the weirdest unity bs bugs

[muted pawn]

I just read ppl experience same issue with github repository ._.

[swift crag]

windows probably has some Opinions (tm) about how you interact with those folders

[muted pawn]

seems like it yeah

[gleaming wagon]

How am I supposed to back up my projects 😭

[polar acorn]

Version control

such as git

[gleaming wagon]

I will try downloading the latest file from my github repo. Then opening that project. If it still doesn't let met I will just use my mac from now on for unity

[random sorrel]

How do I make work UI Buttons together with First person controller from starter assets? I have read following articles: https://discussions.unity.com/t/ui-buttons-not-working-with-starter-assets-first-person-controller/257519/5 and https://discussions.unity.com/t/first-person-controller-wont-let-me-use-ui-buttons-please-help/224231 . If I activate UI_TouchScreenInput then any other UI elements stop responding

[gleaming wagon]

Omg it worked

Github the goat

Thanks for the help though @swift crag and @muted pawn

[tulip stag]

Does anyone know how to parse a list using JsonUtility.ToJson?

[slender nymph]

the list must not be the root object, but otherwise as long as the field that contains the list is serialized and the type the list contains is serializable it should JustWork™️

[tulip stag]

ohhhh ok. The list was the root object lol

[slender nymph]

yeah jsonutility can't handle that

[warm mason]

when organizing my project, do you think its best to have each like VFX (In this case im making like aura VFX's for the player) in its own scene that I could just reference when I want it to be applied to the main scene?

[wintry quarry]

Why a scene and not just a prefab?

[warm mason]

im jumping over from godot, prefab new concept >.<

[wintry quarry]

Prefab is what you want

Search Unity docs

[warm mason]

"Unity’s Prefab system allows you to create, configure, and store a GameObject
complete with all its components, property values, and child GameObjects as a reusable Asset. The Prefab Asset acts as a template from which you can create new Prefab instances in the Scene
."

sounds about what i want

😄

[summer thorn]

Just like you'd do with runservice and raycasts!

[warm mason]

okay so im trying to teach myself how to setup a 3d camera in unity

    public float distance = 5.0f;
    public float sensitivity = 2.0f;
    public float minY = -20f;
    public float maxY = 80f;
    public float zoom = 5.0f;``` Although its working i have question about this part of the script. What exactly is f ?

and

for example

under the public float maxY = 80f; why is that a float and not an int?

[swift crag]

5.0f

This is a literal. It's a literal value, rather than, say, a variable

Numeric literals can have a few different suffixes to specify what type you want

5.0 is a double
5.0f is a float

A double is more precise than a float (the datatype is literally twice as big, hence the name)

So this would cause an error

public float foo = 5.0;

The compiler will not implicitly turn a double into a float for you

[warm mason]

wouldn't ... 5.0... be a float.. cuz its only one decimal 0.o

im confused

; d

ok wait i kind of understand

[swift crag]

5.0 and 5.0000000000 are both double literals

the number of digits is irrelevant

[warm mason]

okay

i understand

so by literal you mean its just a .. literal number?

or rather as in the number doesn't change

[astral falcon]

Maybe not the best example taking one decimal. But the more precise you calculate, the more you would see a difference in precision

[grand snow]

its also like doing 5L vs 5

[warm mason]

ok i think i understand now

and its like that becuase when i use the clamp() function later in the code it requires float calculations so thats why i dont use integers and thus where the 'f' comes in

ok

makes sense

[grand snow]

its very useful when you want to do a float/float instead of say int/int:
6/5f vs 6/5

[astral falcon]

or you will wonder why your console outputs full numbers, cause you forgot, that you are doing something with an int

[pure drift]

does anybody know how i could make my pause button exsist between scenes it brings up a panel with sliders like this but i cant figure out a way for them to persist

[rich ice]

#📲┃ui-ux
also you can probably just make it DDOL

[astral falcon]

Make your main menu a static object that as jordan said, does not get destroyed on load.

This way, you always have one instance, that lives for your entire game if you want

[pure drift]

thank you guys i will look into that

by the entire main menu you mean the entire canvas right

[red mason]

hey guys, when putting forcemode.velocitychange into my player movement code, i can move it left/right but then theres tons of friction when you try to go the other way. can anyone help?

this is my code

fixedUpdate, not update

[rich adder]

1. dont use time.deltaTime inside AddForce calls (notice how your forces are ridiculously high numbers)
2. use Keycode instead of strings
3. move rigidbody in FixedUpdate not Update

[red mason]

tysm!

[ivory bobcat]

You'd still want to acquire input from regular update though

Poll the states in update and use them in fixed update - create two extra bool variables etc

[rich adder]

Ya keydown 1 frame event not the best in FixedUpdate lol
Held key (GetKey) are ok

[red mason]

still feels very weird cause its taking multiple presses of the keys to change the direction

[rich adder]

did you do this https://discordapp.com/channels/489222168727519232/497874004401586176/1340119635089162240

ok ty all it works now

but to make it feel normal i had to set forward force to 1000 and sideways force to 1 _:)_/

[golden sand]

Could someone help me with this problem.

Im currently building a top-down unity 2d game. It is a rougue-like wave game where the player pushes a button to activate the next wave of enemys. My problem is that I need a way to track the amount of enemy's that die. I used a int in the enemy's death code where it 'should' add to the int when the enemy's die but the int is not incrementing. Once it increments, I plan use get component to allow the enemy spawner to track the enemy's defeated and the ones spawned allow the next wave to trigger when the wave button is pushed. Idk if I need to rework the spawning system or find a roundabout way but I've been looking for answers for 3 hours.

First one is enemy health script, secon button press, third enemy spawner

Wave button

[pure drift]

for my code to make an undestroyable gameobject i have something like this https://paste.ofcode.org/nMhUNfLnf4dAskgnBgEMsU and attached it to a parent in the canvas which has my button and pannel ui objects but i still doesnt destroy on load

[golden sand]

https://paste.mod.gg/uyexxzjtcetz/0 enemy spawner

https://paste.mod.gg/gmyqnlctavop/0 enemy health

[rich ice]

its called a singleton. also, double check the inspector. DDOL objects are in a seperate section at the bottom

[pure drift]

yep it doesnt show up at the bottom this is what comes up though

im not really sure whats going wrong'

[rich ice]

the script is on the wrong object

[pure drift]

i have the script on the persistent UI gameobject

the UI manager is for something else

[slender nymph]

you may want to double check your console for relevant errors/warnings

[pure drift]

ill try and see if i can use debug.log to see if the gameobject actually doesnt destroy on load

[slender nymph]

again, pay attention to your console

[pure drift]

so the ui does save technically but my hiearchy doesnt show anything

[slender nymph]

great, now read the information in the console

[pure drift]

ok i never experienced this message before about root game objects ill go read about it

[slender nymph]

do you know what a root gameobject is?

[pure drift]

no

[slender nymph]

it is a gameobject with no parent. in other words, it is at the root of the hierarchy

[pure drift]

so what you are saying is that it has to be a parent for dont destroy on load to work . but then how will i save specific things of my canvas then for the next scene if they are children

[slender nymph]

put them on a separate canvas and make that separate canvas DDOL

[pure drift]

ohh thank you

[golden sand]

Just looked this up and thank you so much. This will definitely help with this

[spark sinew]

hi y'all, I am displaying a cube in an app, and I would like to update the orientation of the cube so that its side is perpendicular to a given vector. How should I do this ?

[rich adder]

thats pretty vague, which face? cube has like 6 faces
you can probably do Vector3.Cross ?

or maybe this? https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.0/Documentation/ScriptReference/Quaternion.FromToRotation.html

[spark sinew]

I think any face would work at the base, since our cube shape is basically the same value for each base side, and a different value for the height

[void thicket]

Just transform.forward = desiredVector

Given that your cube is aligned with axis

[spark sinew]

ok thanks! I will try this

if it is not aligned I will try with other vectors instead of forward

[frigid sequoia]

By default a Vector 3 is (0, 0, 0) and not null right?

[rich adder]

yeah. struct can't be null unless you use ? nullable operation on it

[frigid sequoia]

A vector3 of a non defined transform is also (0, 0, 0) then?

Even if the transform is null

[rich adder]

I mean, you wouldnt be able access it if transform is null

you would get nre before default value is grabbed

[frigid sequoia]

Ok

Shouldn't it give me a syntax error when I say something like this?

[rich adder]

why its valid syntax

[frigid sequoia]

In the same way that it does when I type this?

[rich adder]

transform has indeed a transform property

[rich adder]

again, struct cannot be null so you have no null check

also you need to give it a value for local var

[frigid sequoia]

Ups, I meant this

This is also a vector3

And can never be null

Yet it does not tell me so

[frigid sequoia]

When here it does

Why?

[rich adder]

here you don't have a value assigned

.position is a property , similar to a method it returns vector3 whatever value that is

but yea the null check is useless

[frigid sequoia]

But... I mean, I think it should check that the type of property that it is sending back can never be a null

But ok

I know now

[rich adder]

how can it check if didn't return the property until you access it

[frigid sequoia]

Isn't it preloading the type of property that is expected to be returned?

Here tells me that it knows that does not return a int, even before doing the operation itself

[rich adder]

I'm saying its not warning you because its not a sytnax error, it just tells you its going to always be false, since struct is never null

[rich adder]

I was talking about the value not the type

Im saying it wasnt able to tell you that its an error cause it wont know what position is since its null transform

slight misunderstanding there I think lol

[void thicket]

This error is because you never assigned the value of x

Local variable does not have default value. It’s “uninitialized”.

default initialization happens for fields (i.e. member variable)

Anyways, if you assign some value to it it will compile same

[rich adder]

you can also check them by default keyword

Vector3 v = new();
  if (v == default){
      Debug.Log("I'm at default value");
}```

[cosmic dagger]

yeah, i'll default my variables all the time . . .

[void thicket]

Don’t default your Quaternion 🥹

[cosmic dagger]

I just don't f*** with them . . .

[rich adder]

Quaternions

cursed

Quaternion q = new();
if (q.eulerAngles == default){
    Debug.Log("I'm at default value");
}```

[frigid sequoia]

It's this equivalent to (0,0,0)?

[cosmic dagger]

My object pool was only used for reference types since it was ClassObjectPool<T> : IPool<T> where T : IPoolableClass<T>, class, new(), but since I changed it to use structs, I had to change all the null assignments to default . . .

[rich adder]

pretty much thats default for v3 yes

[void thicket]

Do I get zero for default eulerAngles

[cosmic dagger]

It's the default value for that type . . .

[void thicket]

I wouldn’t be surprised if I get NaN or something

[rich adder]

why would it not

[void thicket]

Because Quaternion default is invalid quaternion

[frigid sequoia]

I kinda want to tell the difference between if it's just the default value or it just happened to land exactly on position (0,0,0) lol

[rich adder]

it is but iirc new() quaternion is default to vector3 0.0.0 in eulers

[void thicket]

Do we have user defined struct new() in Unity

new() would be just same as default

[rich adder]

yea tru

[cosmic dagger]

Yes, you can do that with structs . . .

[rich adder]

int i = 0;
int j = new int();
int k = default(int);```

[void thicket]

Newer C# we can have custom parameterless new() but I don’t remember Unity is on that

[rich adder]

yeah we do since 9

which we're currently stuck on 😢

[drifting cosmos]

is unity 6 the newest c#

[rich adder]

no

[void thicket]

No

[rich adder]

way behind

[drifting cosmos]

oh

[rich ice]

i wish

[drifting cosmos]

which one is it

[void thicket]

But I guess Unity didn’t apply it to Quaternion anyways because compat

[rich adder]

https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.0/Documentation/Manual/csharp-compiler.html

[rich adder]

it does fine

[drifting cosmos]

is quarternion for 3d only

[void thicket]

It would create Quaternion.identity in ideal world

[rich adder]

but in Unity you always want to reset with Quaternion.identity

[rich adder]

ya thats only
private static readonly Quaternion identityQuaternion = new Quaternion(0f, 0f, 0f, 1f);

[void thicket]

Unity is 3D only engine

[drifting cosmos]

would you use it in a 2d game?

[void thicket]

If you are using Unity you don’t have choice

[polar acorn]

All objects have their rotation stored in a quarternion. Regardless of what game you're making

[rich adder]

Internally its always stored as quaternion, you're only interacting with a float angle in 2D rotation though

[frigid sequoia]

I am wondering, how can I actually check if a object didn't move since the last frame?

Cause the order of execution is not something I can control, maybe it just didn't move this frame YET

I could place the check in lateUpdate

But what if I want to move it on there later too?

[void thicket]

Order of execution is in fact something you can control

https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.0/Documentation/Manual/class-MonoManager.html

Not that I encourage it

[bright zodiac]

default of ref types is also null

oh misread that mb

[cosmic dagger]

You can control the order of execution if you build a system for it . . .

[charred spoke]

Wouldn’t the transform.hasChanged flag just work

[rich adder]

not well

idk cant just do?

var pos = transform.position
if(oldPos != pos){
..
oldPos = pos;
}```

[bright zodiac]

a simple diy like this would work

bool wasMoved;
Vector3 lastPosition;
int lastFrameMoved;

public void Move(Vector3 pos)
{
   lastPosition = pos;
   transform.position = pos;
   lastFrmeMoved = Time.frameCount;
}

public Update()
{
  if(TryMove(out var result))
  {
    //Do something and was moved
  }
  else
  {
    //Do something didn't move
  }
}

bool TryMove (out bool moved)
{
    moved = Vector3.Distance(transform.position, lastPosition) > float.Epsilon && lastFrmeMoved > Time.frameCount;
}

just make sure when you move them with the Move function

tho it might not be what you want, bcos this way you'll always be 1 frame late, but you won't need the LateUpdate

[bright zodiac]

I dont even know that thing exist 😂

[frigid sequoia]

It does move with a NavMeshAgent

And I kinda want to do some slight amount of physics too

[teal viper]

You'll need to switch between the navmesh agent and physics then.

[frigid sequoia]

Wdym?

[teal viper]

Exactly what I said. Navmesh agent would override any transformations to the object, so if you want something else to move/rotate it, you'd need to disable the agent.

[misty moon]

My player shakes violently when I enable the InputManager script.

Unity Version: 6000.0.341f

Input Manager script

using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.InputSystem;

public class InputManager : MonoBehaviour
{

    private PlayerInput playerInput;
    private PlayerInput.OnFootActions onFoot;

    private PlayerMotor motor;
    
    void Awake()
    {
        playerInput = new PlayerInput();
        onFoot = playerInput.OnFoot;

        motor = GetComponent<PlayerMotor>();    
    }

  
   
    private void FixedUpdate()
    {
        Vector2 rawInput = onFoot.Movement.ReadValue<Vector2>();
        Debug.Log($"Raw input x: {rawInput.x}, raw input y: {rawInput.y}"); // shakes violently even when this evaluates to 0
        motor.ProcessMove(rawInput);
    }

    private void OnEnable()
    {
        onFoot.Enable();
    }

    private void OnDisable()
    {
        onFoot.Disable();
    }
}

Here's the playerMotor script

using UnityEngine;

[RequireComponent(typeof(CharacterController))]
public class PlayerMotor : MonoBehaviour
{

    [SerializeField]
    private float speed = 5f;

 

    private CharacterController characterController;
    private Vector3 playerVelocity;  
    
    
    void Start()
    {
        characterController = GetComponent<CharacterController>();
        if (characterController == null)
        {
            Debug.LogError("CharacterController is missing from PlayerMotor!");
        }
    }



    /// <summary>
    /// Processes the player's movement based on the given (raw) input. 
    /// The <c>input.y</c> value is used to move the player along the Z-axis (forward/backward).
    /// </summary>
    /// <param name="input">The raw input vector from the player, where <c>input.y</c> controls movement along the Z-axis.</param>
    public void ProcessMove(Vector2 input) {

        Vector3 moveDirection = Vector3.zero;
        moveDirection.x = input.x;
        moveDirection.z = input.y; // W should move player forward. this is what this line does
        moveDirection.y = 0f;

        
        Vector3 moveWorldDirection = transform.TransformDirection(moveDirection);
        Debug.Log($"world input x: {moveWorldDirection.x}, world input y: {moveWorldDirection.y}"); // even when this evaluates to 0, my player still shakes violently.

        characterController.Move(speed * Time.deltaTime * moveWorldDirection);
    }
}

[frigid sequoia]

So how would aplly a push then?

That has to happen over a bunch of frames

I guess I wait until the force on the object is zero to reactivate the agent?

But what if I want them to happen at the same time?

[teal viper]

Then don't use an agent. Calculate the path and move the object along it in a desired way. By adding velocity for example.

[naive pawn]

you don't have anything physics related there, maybe try Update instead of FixedUpdate?
also fyi: you can do new Vector3(input.x, 0, input.y); instead of the separate assignments

[misty moon]

I thought it doesn't matter if I put it inside fixed update or regular update in this case?

[naive pawn]

i don't think it should, but im not confident; if there's a difference, it'd probably work in Update

also, have you tried logging speed * Time.deltaTime * moveWorldDirection?

[frigid sequoia]

I woldn't really be able to calculate a path while taking in account the obstacles

[novel nymph]

I want to make some code that makes it so when you press LeftCtrl, it multiplies the enemyAI's sight range by .5, but I dont know how to connect the multiplying by .5 and enemy sight range together.

[naive pawn]

well how have you implemented the enemy sight range?

[novel nymph]

playerInSightRange = Physics.CheckSphere(transform.position, sightRange, whatIsPlayer);

[teal viper]

Why not? If you use the navmesh, it should account for static obstacles.
As for dynamic obstacles, yes you'll need to account for them manually.

[frigid sequoia]

NavMesh wouldn't do anything if the agent is dissabled right?

[teal viper]

NavMesh is separate from an agent. You can use it's methods without having an agent.

An agent uses the navmesh api under the hood

[teal viper]

Multiply the sightRange by some multiplier(or something) float variable. Then assign 0.5 or 1 to it accordingly.

[random sorrel]

Hello. I am reading about Touch handling. https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.0/Documentation/ScriptReference/Input-touches.html . Does Unity touch handling perceive mouse moves as touches?

[dreamy dune]

i have a sepperate gameobject that acts as a parent of my camera and my camera is childed to that object is it best to rotate the whole holder or just the camera?

[random sorrel]

Of course, it's the point of your setup. You may also create an empty Transform, make camera look at it and then you get like "orbiting camera" by moving that Transform

[dreamy dune]

really werid when i am trying to rotate the cameraholder nothing happens

[dreamy dune]

but with camera comp it works

using first person btw

[random sorrel]

I have seen some ready-made firstperson controllers in Asset Store recently

[dreamy dune]

allright will look into that

[eternal needle]

look into cinemachine, and usually you would just rotate the camera directly. The outcome can be the same if you have a child object (camera) with 0 local rotation. But it doesnt seem to make sense here to rotate the parent

[eternal needle]

this really doesnt make sense in relation to what they asked

[teal shale]

Guys, i'm just making a simple 2d platformer. im using velocity for movements but why does it keep changing to linearvelocity everytime after i saved n changed

[cosmic dagger]

In Unity 6, it's called linearVelocity . . .

I see thx you!

[tulip nimbus]

How do i check wheter a Circle collider or a Box Collider has been touched by using OnTriggerEnter2D?

so something like this (not real code)

CircleCollider CC
BoxCollider BC

void OnTriggerEnter2D(Collider other) 
{
 if (other.touches.CC)
        { Do whatever Circlecollider is supposed todo }
 if (other.touches.BC)
        { Do whatever Boxcollider is supposed todo }
}```

[teal viper]

Put the colliders on separate objects and have a separate script instance for each

[cosmic dagger]

Place the method on a script attached to the GameObject. The docs or a tutorial on YouTube has examples on how to use trigger and collision methods. Try one of those out and come back if you have any issues . . .

[soft creek]

Hi how i can move the camera of a fsp player in unity 6?

[keen dew]

What is a fsp player?

[soft creek]

first person

[keen dew]

fps?

[soft creek]

yes

[naive pawn]

you would have it as a child of the player and inherit the player's translation and yawing, and then the camera would do pitching

[keen dew]

There are about a billion FPS tutorials and they all show how to move the camera

[soft creek]

Yes, but in unity 6 is different and i don't know how to do it

[keen dew]

no it isn't

[soft creek]

I have this code and the character cannot look or move (I have been able to resolve the latter)

[late burrow]

any alternative to tuple unity errors when im trying to use it

[naive pawn]

what do you mean by "unity errors"

[late burrow]

The type 'Tuple<T1, T2>' exists in both 'ExCSS.Unity, Version=2.0.6.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' and 'mscorlib, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089'

[naive pawn]

ok that's not unity erroring

that's just c# erroring

tuples on their own should work fine, so this is more likely an issue with project setup, i guess?

[late burrow]

i guess i can just make separate class then

[naive pawn]

...what?

you should probably go fix the underlying problem here

[late burrow]

tuple is pretty much class without definition so if it doesnt work ima just use class then

[naive pawn]

wdym class without definition lol, it is defined

if it didn't have a definition, you wouldn't be able to use it

[polar acorn]

It's more like a struct

[naive pawn]

also it's probaby a struct, not a class

[polar acorn]

It's basically an anonymous struct

[naive pawn]

huh no it is a class

[polar acorn]

Tuple is to struct as lambda is to method

[polar acorn]

wait what

[naive pawn]

no it's not anonymous

https:// learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.tuple-2?view=net-9.0

oh wait, im not sure that's the underlying thing for tuple types

ok yeah they aren't

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/language-reference/builtin-types/value-tuples#tuples-vs-systemtuple

[polar acorn]

Okay good I was about to take a long look in the mirror and contemplate my existence

[naive pawn]

they are structs, as suspected

[polar acorn]

Looks like there's just a class representation for when you need kinda a tuple but it has to be a reference type

[naive pawn]

ok so... if you're trying to use tuples, presumably the c# tuple type aka ValueTuple, you shouldn't even be using Tuple

[swift crag]

indeed, System.Tuple

[cosmic dagger]

Wait, I thought Tuples were structs?

[naive pawn]

it probably predates tuple types

[swift crag]

System.ValueTuple is what backs tuple types

[naive pawn]

tuples are. Tuples are not

[swift crag]

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/language-reference/language-specification/types#8311-tuple-types

[polar acorn]

Yeah, we found out they are, there is just also a Tuple class

[cosmic dagger]

There is a class version, I do know that . . .

I found the class version when I first heard about them . . .

[naive pawn]

tuple types are ValueTuples, and they're structs

[queen adder]

hey I have a problem with my code

[cosmic dagger]

It depends how you create the tuple, whether it's the immutable class version or the struct (using the newer syntax) . . .

[queen adder]

@queen adder did you see the bot message after my own message

[cosmic dagger]

Not everyone can view the code inline . . .

[queen adder]

I didnt

[naive pawn]

well here it is again

[queen adder]

https://scriptbin.xyz/isonemesum.cs

[queen adder]

?like this

[naive pawn]

yes

[queen adder]

ok

I'mma do it

https://scriptbin.xyz/efubozequg.cs
https://scriptbin.xyz/isonemesum.cs

[naive pawn]

so have you debugged inside the if (rb != null) to see if that passes?

alternatively, you could change the type of BulletPrefab to Rigidbody to ensure it has one, then Instantiate would return the rb directly

[queen adder]

no

[cosmic dagger]

Also, you're setting the velocity for the bullet in both scripts . . .

Are transform.forward of the bullet (in Bullet.cs) and muzzle.forward of the muzzle (GunShoot.cs) the same direction?

[naive pawn]

well it's instantiated using muzzle.rotation, so probably, lol

[cosmic dagger]

You should remove the bullet code from the GunShoot script . . .

[queen adder]

I finally fixed it

I rewrote the entire code

I won

but at what cost

[cosmic dagger]

Now you are faster, stronger . . .

[queen adder]

the bullets fire from the tip not the back ✅
the bullets move realistically ✅
the bullets have a red trail behind them like the one in the game superhot ✅
the lightings are beautiful✅

[warm mason]

double b = 3.0;
Console.WriteLine(a / b);

decimal c = 1.0M;
decimal d = 3.0M;
Console.WriteLine(c / d);```

Why in this code do we have to use M to let the compiler know that we are using a decimal type, doesn't declaring decimal in the variable do that for us?

[swift crag]

did you...copy-paste the bot message?

[queen adder]

probably because I dont know the command

[swift crag]

The meaning of 1.0 does not depend on context

1.0 is a literal double

Hence needing the suffix.

[warm mason]

thats what i did though lol

oh well

i guess not

[warm mason]

ok i got u , thank u

[sterile radish]

hi, i want to add a prompt in my game that comes up on screen that displays a letter for a limited time. how do i check if the player pressed this letter in the duration of time it was on screen for?

[cosmic dagger]

When you start the timer, check for input . . .

[sterile radish]

okay, how can i check if the input of the player matches the letter of the prompt tho?

[cosmic dagger]

you have to store the letter of the prompt so you can check if the input is the correct letter . . .

[swift crag]

Is this literally any key on your keyboard, or do you just have a couple of buttons?

[sterile radish]

only a few keys (W, A S, D)

[swift crag]

Is this a "quicktime event"?

[sterile radish]

yes

[swift crag]

and last thing: are you using the old input manager (e.g. Input.GetKey(...)), or are you using the new input system?

[sterile radish]

im using the old input system

[swift crag]

Okay, so you'll want to set two things when you start a quicktime event:

• The time when the event ends
• The key you're expecting the player to press

so a float for the time and a KeyCode for the key

You'll use Input.GetKeyDown(key) to check if the right key was hit. If that returns true before you run out of time, set a "success" variable to true

when time runs out, check if that variable is true

[sterile radish]

sorry, what does the success variable do? cant i just directly go to a win state or a lose state if the right key was pressed or if time runs out?

[swift crag]

That would be another valid option.

You'd just go to a success state on keypress, and go to a fail state if time runs out

[sterile radish]

oh okay

[soft creek]

How i can solve this problem?

[cosmic dagger]

As it says, you have set the input to use the new input system. This window is for the old input system . . .

[soft creek]

But how i can change it?

[cosmic dagger]

The error message says, in the Player Settings. It's right in the message. You can also Google where or how to set the input handling in Unity . . .

[fleet venture]

How does unity work with inheritence?
I have a ZoomScalingObject class and a ScaleTransform and MoveTransform and RotationTransform class that extend it. I only have the Transform classes on objects and not the ZoomScalingObject class. How do i still make it so that Update runs? it doesnt seem to be running rn

[brave helm]

hello i am following a simple tutorial on getting a player character to move. everything works fine, other than when moving left to right the camera doesn't follow it. I apologize

[keen dew]

Save the file

[brave helm]

i did

[keen dew]

Well it's unsaved in the screenshot. After you've saved, check the console for errors and that playerBody is assigned and that the camera is a child of that object

[brave helm]

ok yeah that was the problem it wasnt nestled into the player object, it was just hanging out free floating. Thanks

[keen dew]

Unrelated, but don't multiply mouse input by deltatime. The tutorial is wrong

[true tangle]

im new as well but i suppose its because the sensitivity is really unrelated to the frames and theres no reason to time adjust it? idk

or input, sorry

[keen dew]

It's because mouse input is already the amount the mouse has moved since the last frame, multiplying again by deltatime is meaningless

[cosmic dagger]

If the class derives from MonoBehaviour it has to be on a GameObject in order to run. If the derived classes are on a GameObject, you have to call the base method for it to run . . .

[true tangle]

ah, right. of course. thanks for clarifying:D

[cosmic dagger]

It's the same. It's just C#. Inheritance isn't a Unity construct . . .

[fleet venture]

ah okay

[fleet venture]

uh whats this

[rich adder]

try restart unity

[fleet venture]

okay

visual studio too?

[rich adder]

nah

something in unity got borked prob trying to display
