well either use a component or they need to be contained inside one
thorn holly
So what’s the issue here, why can’t you just do what you outlined here
Make a new skill, give the game object a reference to it
wintry quarry
otherwise wth is "gameobj.add"?
rich adder
So what’s the issue here, why can’t you just do what you outlined here
you wouldnt be able to attach a poco to a gameobject
sand heath
Maybe your skill information should be stored in scriptable objects.
thorn holly
you wouldnt be able to attach a poco to a gameobject
Is skill a component? I thought it was just a non MonoBehavior class that gameobject needs a reference to
honest iron
so NewObj.AddComponent<s1>????????
thorn holly
Oh so skill is a component?
honest iron
skill is a class
rich adder
skill needs to be a component to be attached to a gameobject
otherwise it needs to be inside a MB container class, like thru a list or something
thorn holly
so NewObj.AddComponent<s1>????????
But up here you imply it’s a component
honest iron
let me start over because its ot what i meant
rich adder
let me start over because its ot what i meant
well explain what you want the skill to do , start with that
thorn holly
let me start over because its ot what i meant
Is Skill a MonoBehavior component or a non MonoBehavior class?
honest iron
Skill is not a component, its a class(OOP)
honest iron
Is Skill a MonoBehavior component or a non MonoBehavior class?
NO
i not trying to add it
rich adder
mate components are also classes technically. OOP means nothing. its all objects
honest iron
all im asking if there is a way to store it
rich adder
the difference here is POCO vs Component
thorn holly
mate components are also classes technically. OOP means nothing. its all objects
Yeah I prolly should’ve just said MonoBehavior vs non MonoBehavior
thorn holly
the difference here is POCO vs Component
Or that
rich adder
Poco being a plain c# object, like public class MyPoco vs component public class MyComponent : Monobehaviour
wintry quarry
all im asking if there is a way to store it
yes, put it on a script attached to the GameObject
rich adder
all im asking if there is a way to store it
store it is vague af
honest iron
1min
thorn holly
all im asking if there is a way to store it
Yes, within the GameObject give it a variable of the type Skill and assign that variable to the new skill you instantiated
thorn holly
yes, put it on a script attached to the GameObject
Skill isn’t a component
I don’t think
rich adder
store it on a gameobject as a component or as a poco inside a list/variable in component
wintry quarry
Skill isn’t a component
Yeah I'm saying make a component that HAS a Skill field
wintry quarry
but really this whole question is way too vague to actually recommend any kind of cohesive or useful architecture
it's not clear what exactly a "skill" is or does
rich adder
just going by "store it" we don't really know what they plan on doing with it
honest iron
public Skill GetSkill(GameObject gameObject)
{
string skillName = gameObject.name;
for (int i = 0; i < Skills.Length; i++)
foreach (Skill skill in Skills[i])
if (skillName == skill.skillName)
return skill;
return null;
}
if there is a way to make a gameobject to hold Skill, i wont need to use this func
wintry quarry
Yes - of course - to add data to a GameObject you make a script that holds the data and attach it to the GameObject
What you're doing here is insane
thorn holly
```
public Skill GetSkill(GameObject gameObject)
{
string skillName = gam...
Do what @wintry quarry suggested, attatch a new script component to the gameObject that holds a Skill variable, then assign that skill variable to the instance of skill you made
wintry quarry
you're basically just using an entire Gameobject to hold a string
honest iron
so what 200+ scripts with the same fields just diff data
rich adder
you almost never need the GameObject class , work directly with a specific component
wintry quarry
so what 200+ scripts with the same fields just diff data
no... one script
public class SkillHolder : MonoBehaviour {
public Skill TheSkill;
}```maybe 200 instances
with different data
that part's up to you
thorn holly
```cs
public class SkillHolder : MonoBehaviour {
public Skill TheSkill;
}```
^ then when you instantiate the game object assign TheSkill to the instance of Skill it needs to store
rich adder
also this might be good usecase for ScriptableObjects
especially if you have a growing list of Skill
wintry quarry
Ideally set it up in the inspector - ScriptableObjects are good here, or just make it a serializable class
honest iron
i can see the mess i'll have if i use Skillholder
rich adder
how so ?
thorn holly
i can see the mess i'll have if i use Skillholder
Why would there be a mess
eternal needle
Not another string based system 
honest iron
i'll try it and see how it goes

done and working, but for reason i feels like im gonna have problems with that in the future
maybe im just to exhausted and confused

Howdy folks, in Unity 6 with a Core 2D URP project, I'm experiencing some odd behavior with my cameras. Trying to use a second camera to a render texture via raw image in the UI to display something. My problem is the camera preview is just completely wrong. Its vertical, not square and the zoom level isn't right. You can hopefully see what I mean here:
Any ideas what I might be missing?

Howdy folks, in Unity 6 with a Core 2D URP project, I'm experiencing some odd be...
looks like the camera preview is set to a mobile aspect ratio
dense mica
Hmm. Well it is true I'm in a mobile profile mode, but given how the camera is not the main camera, and is rendering to the texture as a 1:1 aspect, I'd have figured the preview would know what to do.
Is there a way to make them not inherit the global (wrong) aspect ratio?
It would just be handy to get an accurate preview while I'm off inspecting other stuff.
rocky canyon
im not too versed in 2d and render textures but ur camera should control all that..
the build prob wont look like that preview..
- i never use the camera preview *
dense mica
You are correct the build doesn't look like this. Neither does the actual rendered texture in scene/game view.
I just like the preview since it docks and hangs around while I do other stuff.
rocky canyon
ahh soo its a pet peeve kinda prob
dense mica
Render textures are also kind of broken in the editor. They often get stuck and blank out, and only refresh if you modify a value in the editor forward and backwards.
rocky canyon
i just use the game-view
dense mica
ie, I often have to change the camera background to skybox and back to solid color hehe
rocky canyon
it also docks.. lol
dense mica
Yeah but I am editing in scene view.
You mean just unodck the game view into its own window and use that. Harder to do since the actual game view is locked on the UI, which isn't necessarily going to have the render texture in view.
dense mica
Yeah but my camera is rendering to a texture. It isn't used for the scene view.
I cant make it render to the game window.
Sorry if that isn't clear.
rocky canyon
ya little
so this render texture its UI i imagine?
is ur UI scaling/ set correctly? the canvas/
dense mica
The render texture gets put on a quad out of view of the game view.
Another camera looks at the quad and sometimes renders that to a spot in the UI. But not always. And that camera isn't done yet so there's no way to make it work in final form yet.
Render textures are really cool. In a 3D scene you might use them for all the display renderings of monitors in a ship's bridge for example. I wouldn't necessarily be on the bridge in the game view to look at them. Hence why its handy to cycle through all the cameras via the preview window.
But hey, at least I know why its acting strange now....
rocky canyon
ive used em for TV's and Monitors
dense mica
Yeah exactly.
rocky canyon
not as UI tho.. seems like a clever idea for some cases
dense mica
Yeah the RAW IMAGE type is actually only used for UI.
That threw me for a bit until I realized I could set the render texture to a material and add it to a quad.
rocky canyon
unfortunately nothing stands out to check in ur situation.. seems like it could be a handful of things
rocky canyon
Yeah the RAW IMAGE type is actually only used for UI.
yup, u can put a raw-image on a quad.. but it ends up just creating a material
w/ the texture slotted into the albedo/base
dense mica
:nod:
I'm actually trying to reproduce this here: https://www.moddb.com/games/backspace-bouken/tutorials/achieving-a-90s-style-dungeon-crawler-in-unity
rocky canyon
i still havent found a good solution to make tv screens and stuff actually glow..
i can make it a bit emissive i guess. but i remember doing that before and didnt lead the results i wanted
dense mica
Maybe add a point light on the surface?
rocky canyon

Every time I try to get learned on shaders I fall into the pit of learning something old or outdated because shaders have changed so much over the years.

Yeah I didn't think asking about Cameras in non UI/UX space would make sense there.
Always hard to say.
ruby python
this is my ultimate goal
I'm not sure about this, but, you can build UI Shader graphs in Unity6 right? not sure if RenderTextures can be 'plugged in' as an image source, but if they can, plug the render texture in both the albedo and emission slots, add some bloom, glowing surface.

How can i make the transition seamless

I dont want an explosion
I want it to be chopped
Chipped
So a barrel starts with its whole mesh
And when i shoot it
I taken a tandom piece of it and disable it
I can do that with code but
or i guess shoot it out somehow wirh particles idk how to do thag neither
but the model that i broke with blender looks off and looks dunb even with 1 piece missing
dense mica
Well its mostly a skill issue. I'd work on breaking down the complex problem into manageable chunks. Start with modeling a solid barrel. Get that into the game as a thing. Get hits registering on it and delete it when hit. Then move onto a barrel that has some damage. Maybe 2-3 damage levels. If you are looking for dynamic breaking apart modeled on the fly stuff, that could be a tall order for anyone outside of a journeyman/expert.
So you have 4 models. A full barrel. A barrel with 1 piece, 2 piece and 3 pieces removed. Or damage levels or whathaveyou.
Start with just having the barrel cycle through its models as its shot.
lavish magnet
I have 2 models? One model is sperated into a lot of pieces
WHen split it looks like this
dense mica
So make versions of it that have a progression of splits. A whole barrel. A barrel with one piece removed. Two pieces, Three.
lavish magnet
that seems like quite literally the most ineffeicent way to do this if im being honest
dense mica
Start by just replacing the whole barrel with each progressively more damaged versions.
lavish magnet
Why not just cycle through an array and randomly select one
lavish magnet
Start by just replacing the whole barrel with each progressively more damaged ve...
But it still looks cracked even if i remove a piece the entire barrel isnt supposed to look CRACKED
dense mica
That is why you model it with different pieces removed.
lavish magnet
Maunally?
dense mica
You can still have an array. You can still choose what to remove each time.
Physics isn't amazing in game engines.
You can't have a thing made of parts that is dynamically destructable like you'd expect.
You'll need to do some fudging
It can SEEM dynamic to the user though if done properly.
So you'll have an array of barrel gameobjects. Whole, Damage 1, 2, 3, 4 ,whatever.
Then you'll have an array of pieces.
You'll replace the whole barrel with one of the models with a piece removed. And spawn in the piece in approximately the location it needs to be, and let physics move that broken off piece.
dense mica
Usually a explosion sprite/flash/smoke or whatever will hide some of the transition.
Given this is unlikely a core component of the game I'd follow KISS. Have damage level 0, 1, 2, 3. Have pieces 1, 2, 3.
charred spoke

I used cell fracture in blender and that is how they became
dense mica
There's some assets that may do something like this dynamically too: https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/modeling/mesh-slicer-59618?srsltid=AfmBOorFLuPZ2CbVAhBJT2eyxKqCc78zbYS-y7STinvcRmODqutO1u1Z
If you don't even want to model the barrel pieces and whatnot.
dense mica
Its all about how much you value your time.
And there are likely other assets, probably some cheaper. I've just run across them trying to do various things on my own.
A $50 asset that can slice/cut/mangle 1000s of destructables in your scene? Or a zillion hours modeling each one to be destructable? That is a way to look at it.
charred spoke
I used cell fracture in blender and that is how they became
Well I’m not familiar with blender but when we pre-fracture objects in it there are no seems since the pieces do not get offset from their original position.

This cant be true

Having stability in physics based systems is tricky. Particularly if you want something like a barrel made of pieces fitting together and using friction to keep them together until interacted with.
In this specific case I don't see the point in overcomplicating it. I'm sure there are really good reasons to attempt such things.

Thats not at all how destructible systems like that work. A graph of the connected pieces is build and traversed to determine what pieces/clusters should have physics activated and fall
dense mica
This cant be true <:Whybuffet:1076597347175387268>
Yes I said "like you'd expect". He seems to be under the impression you can slice it in blender, import it into Unity, and have physics hold the assembly together until bullets hit it.
There's a framework you need to write to manage such things in a meaningful way.
We are in code beginner... so trying to keep things reasonable if that makes sense?

would it possible to have the barrel into pieces being held together by a script?
once interacted with by a trigger collider you'd then add physics to it
giving the feeling of it falling apart or sth
dense mica
Well as the other user said, you could spawn them in and disable the physics on all pieces thereby "locking" it into place until you chose to unlock pieces. But that requires scripting to track and manage which pieces are hit, and their heirarchy in the model. Seems very much like overkill for a piece of scenery that you can shoot and have blow up?
Many different ways to skin the cat heh

yeaaa not very manageable
white girder
I had the script on the Main Menu empty object guess I had to add the object into the button instead of the script itself?
dense mica
The GameObject that is the button needs to have a Button Component and the Script Component added to it. Then the OnClick handler has the button gameobject referenced. Once that is all setup you should be able to pick which function on the OnClick handler calls from the script component assigned to it.
I still get mixed up on it from time to time too.
Alright well, time I get some sleep here too!

The Output Particle Mesh Context allows you to render particles using meshes. They come in a regular (unlit) and a Lit variety (HDRP-only).
unlit meshes only for URP

unlit is a neutral term right

lit means its affected by light
unlit isn't affected by light

so if i poen the colours tab i want the other tab that is open to close
wintry quarry
right exactly
earnest ginkgo
yeah

Hey guys, stupid question but is there any function equivalent of Transform.InverseTransformDirection that only needs a quaternion for efficiencies sake? ergo, instead of needing to create a gameobject with a transform and destroy it each time I want to find a direction relative to a rotation, I can just use a Quaternion related function? This is the example code I've been using right now for a building system for my game. Currently the system is working perfectly, it's just that I dislike building and destroying gameObjects each frame just for this one simple function. It seems really inefficient. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Transform testTransf = new GameObject().transform;
testTransf.rotation = Quaternion.Euler(0, buildAngle, 0);
float addZ = Vector3.Angle(buildForward * Vector3.up, getHit.normal);
if (testTransf.InverseTransformDirection(getHit.normal).x > 0)
{
addZ = -addZ;
}
Destroy(testTransf.gameObject);
dispTransf.rotation = Quaternion.Euler(buildForward.eulerAngles) * Quaternion.Euler(new Vector3(0, 0, addZ));```(Quaternion.Euler(buildForward.eulerAngles) * Quaternion.Euler(new Vector3(0, 0, addZ)); is the end goal roation I'm trying to find)

is it possible to switch a project from one render pipeline to another?
slender nymph
yes, you install the package for the other pipeline and assign the relevant pipeline asset in the graphics settings. but that is not something you need to do for this, you need to make sure you have actually assigned a valid material to the trail renderer and that the material has a shader that is made for the pipeline you are using

Shouldnt this detect only colliders tagged "Player"?
cuz its just ignoring everything.

this works, but everytime u add a layer new it automatically gets added as unchecked so is not a valid solution

Friendly reminder for all that you when you're spawning game objects at different points in your game to include the in game location. (Position.x + x, position.y + y, position.z +z). I pass this on to you because it took me a lot longer than I'm comfortable admitting to realize the error in my thinking. Maybe there's a better way, but that's just my take
tulip nimbus
I have this error message:
Assets\Scripts\Enemies\Wolf.cs(126,35): error CS7036: There is no argument given that corresponds to the required formal parameter 'damage' of 'Wolf.TakeDamage(int)'
This is my Coroutine in Player
{
Debug.Log("PlayerDamaged");
isDamageable = false;
Body.color = Color.red;
HP--;
yield return new WaitForSeconds(0.2f);
Body.color = Color.white;
isDamageable = true;
}```
And this is the code that is supposed to Start this coroutine, but i get an error message, even tho i have no int paremeter.
```Player.StartCoroutine(TakeDamage());```
Whats wrong here?seems like your TakeDamage method previously had an int parameter but you haven't saved that file since making that change
wait, is the TakeDamage method you just showed the same one on the Wolf class?
tulip nimbus
seems like your TakeDamage method previously had an int parameter but you haven'...
It did, and i also thought this could be the issue, however even after reloading and checking if i saved the issue remained and it also had this problem when i included the integer
tulip nimbus
wait, is the TakeDamage method you just showed the same one on the Wolf class?
Wolf also has a Method called TakeDamage as a Contract in an interface
slender nymph
right and you're starting the coroutine from the Wolf class. which means that is this.TakeDamage() not Player.TakeDamage()
and Wolf.TakeDamage expects an int parameter
tulip nimbus
Oh i figured it out, im so sorry
slender nymph
remember, unless you call a method on a specific object, you are implicitly calling it on this
tulip nimbus
It was Player.StartCoroutine(Player.PlayerTakeDamage());
instead of Player.StartCoroutine(PlayerTakeDamage());
Thank you!

Yes, is it interacting with the rigid body?

Yes, is it interacting with the rigid body?

Yes, is it interacting with the rigid body?
your camera shouldn't have a collider, so it won't interact with physics
vapid plinth
it interacts with its transformations
Ok

Mmmm... how can this cause that error?
it doesn't, maybe show the content of the foreach

Could it be that there are no components?
no, that's not what that means
frigid sequoia
The error is on the line of the foreach though
muted pawn
Ok
that too, I always think its best to make a camera controller script that takes the transform from the player object :)
and treat them seperate if that makes sense?
slender nymph
The error is on the line of the foreach though
you cannot remove objects from a list you are foreaching on
vapid plinth
ok thanks. I will try that now
frigid sequoia
you cannot remove objects from a list you are foreaching on
Oh, how do I remove them then?
grand snow
for loop and go backwards!
slender nymph
use a reverse for loop instead
grand snow
for(int i = list.Count - 1; i >= 0; i--)
naive pawn
The error is on the line of the foreach though
you could linq to filter the list before assigning it
frigid sequoia
Isn't that gonna return error as soon as I remove anything?
naive pawn
(im biased against mutations)
grand snow
its also valid to use .Where().ToList() but its gonna make more garbage than the manual method
naive pawn
Isn't that gonna return error as soon as I remove anything?
no
if it were going forwards, it'd cause bugs, but that's not the case in reverse
west radish
Isn't that gonna return error as soon as I remove anything?
You get the error when going forwards, because the loop might start with 10 items, you remove 1 item, so once you are at item 9 the loop wants to then move to the next non-existent item as it was told 10 items exist.
But going backwards, you start at item 10 and go backwards to the first item. So once you reach the first item in the list, it doesnt actually matter at that point that the list was modified to only have 9 items
naive pawn
(you won't get an error, you'll get a bug)
slender nymph
yeah looping forward and removing items will cause items in the list to be skipped
naive pawn
with lists there's generally no need to cache the count, so you'd just get the count of the list in the condition; the loop won't go over the bounds of the list

how much time does it take to learn the basics of C# in unity
It all depends really on how best you yourself learn things.
For example, some people learn best by reading, some by someone verbally explaining, some by visual learning or by picking apart existing code etc.
So, I learn best usually visually and verbally, so I've learned a lot by watching Youtube tutorials about things. Granted they usually tell you the wrong way to do things and there's a lot of lazy coding in them, but for the most part they've been a good resource for me personally.
A lot of times, just asking a question in here and talking about it 'out loud' helps me get to the solution.

There is no timetable for learning a programming language. It solely depends on the person learning, their aptitude, discipline, and determination. Two people can practice for 5 hours for a week and be a drastically different levels

wanton epoch
I was wondering if anyone could help guide me to the correct information for my question? I am trying to connect my unity game's data to a website to allow players to see their stats (damage taken/time played/etc). What would be the best way to connect my game and website to allow this transfer of data as well as store this data?
and if this is the wrong place to post this, let me know and ill post it in #archived-networking
naive pawn
you'd need a server+database as a central system to hold everything
the website interacts with the server, the game interacts with the server
#archived-networking would be relevant for specific parts, but i think your current question is more about architecture/system design, no specific channel for it
wanton epoch
would you know of a tutorial to perform this? or additionally any free/simple ways to create the server and connect the website and game to?

I'm trying to add music to my unity game

I didn't hear back from you, so here's a sample [test](<https://dotnetfiddle.net...

On some scenes where I want to turn the music off I use object with that script:

But yeah, I should try that now, just to know how to do it
hardy phoenix
On some scenes where I want to turn the music off I use object with that script:
but when I'm comming back to the basic scene where I want to start music again I get this warring and it doesn't work
wintry quarry
- Using static variable (playOnNextScene) is discouraged. Make that a regular variable on the singleton instance.
- your code in lines 21-24 in BG_Music will run even when you destroy the object. That's not a good idea.
- Awake is not going to run when you load a new scene. so the actual singleton instance will not be able to consume that bool.
cosmic dagger

No problem; the link is basically what you wanted. It's just a sample of how you'd setup the class (that holds the time variable) and the use of IComparable. If you run it, you'll see that it sorts the list based on the Duration of a Timer class . . .
wintry quarry
yeah because you're trying to play the audio source you're destroying on line 19 on line 23
hardy phoenix
but there is always an instance
wintry quarry
Yes in fact there are multiple instances
hardy phoenix
how?
wintry quarry
when you load the scene there's an instance in the scene that you loaded
which destroys itself on line 19 right?
But taht is also the instance which runs the code on lines 23 and 24
hardy phoenix
DontDestroyOnLoad
wintry quarry
so it's trying to play its own audio source as it destroys itself
wintry quarry
DontDestroyOnLoad
yes what about it?
hardy phoenix
it's used to DON'T destroy object
hardy phoenix
so normally it dont destroy objects but in my code it destroy it?
polar acorn
What happens in Awake when instance is not null, but also playOnNextScene is true?
wintry quarry
so normally it dont destroy objects but in my code it destroy it?
Huh?
Do you know what your code is doing?
hardy phoenix
Do you know what your code is doing?
i was thinking that i know
wintry quarry
You have the DDOL instance that stays between scenes, and then other instances that are destroying themselves
do you understand that bit?
DO you understand when Awake runs?
hardy phoenix
on load
wintry quarry
on load for that particular instance
It will only run once per instance
So your first instance will DDOL itself
Second and subsequent instances will destroy themselves
this is all just what your code is doing in Awake
But your subsequent instances are also the ones running lines 23 and 24, after they have already started the process of destroying themselves
It's not your original DDOL instance that is running those lines

oh wait im just stupid newvermind
so uh... How can i make it.. not do that
swift crag
That's caused by non-uniform scaling of a parent
The rule of thumb is to not parent things to an object whose scale isn't uniform
e.g. [5, 1, 1] is a non-uniform scale
As the child rotates, it aligns with the parent's scaling in different ways
causing shearing

your scene doesn't have an event system
doesn't seem related to any of the networking stuff
You need an event system if you want UI to be interactable
forest orbit
added that and it worked, ty
what does an event system do tho? why doesnt a canvas suffice?
swift crag
the event system reads input and checks if you've interacted with something
typically UI elements, but it can also hit things with colliders
polar acorn
what does an event system do tho? why doesnt a canvas suffice?
It's the thing that actually tells stuff it's been clicked on
It's automatically added when you create your first canvas
wintry quarry
what does an event system do tho? why doesnt a canvas suffice?
Processes UI events like clicking, hovering, etc to send to the UI components
Also if you add a canvas or any UI element from the menu it adds an event system automatically
forest orbit
ohh
wintry quarry
The fact you didn't have one means you either copied these objects from another scene or you manually added the components

ok, thank you

The page is literally step by step, question and answer. You click on the links that answer the questions. It's the most simple thing you're going to see.
First step: put in some logs. Do you see em?
rich adder
a lot this is reading , not so much to do with c#
slender nymph
i'm willing to bet they are actually looking at the doc page that praetor linked rather than the much more useful huh.how site that was linked almost immediately after they asked for help
misty sand
why do you guys have to be so mean
slender nymph
literally where has anyone been mean
polar acorn
why do you guys have to be so mean
We're not we're just saying to click the link and read it, it explains it in plain english better than any of us here
This whole back and forth question and answer thing is literally how the page is structured

im gunna read this

yes, those are courses to start from beginning
the rest is good too https://learn.unity.com/project/beginner-gameplay-scripting I learned from these on YT when Learn was barely a thing

i dont know what's going on, but the bullets in my script dont decrease, and also after some time when i fire the player bullets, it stops the game, somethings wrong, maybe is the enemy script? How do i post huge scripts?

btw, this is the script of my enemy, i dont know what im doing wrong.
What i tried to do, wich didnt worked, was that after the bullets of the enemy dry out, it executes an animation, and the enemy must wait till that animation ends to return shooting

dose anyone know what is wrong?
swift crag
you are generally expected to match every opening { with a closing }
earnest ginkgo
yes ik but when i take away the { it is all an error
verbal dome
You are supposed to add a }, not remove a {

yeah it worked tbh i didn't even think of doing that
rich adder
yeah it worked tbh i didn't even think of doing that
is your IDE working? normally tells you where its missing braces
also might wanna do a proper disposal of copies of Instance, incase you have more than 1 in scene
if(instance != null && instance != this)
Destroy(gameobject); return;
instance = this ```btw, for an strange reason my bullets dont decrease, and the game randomly stops, what i did wrong?
verbal dome
btw, for an strange reason my bullets dont decrease, and the game randomly stops...
What do you mean "randomly stops"?
verbal dome
Do you perhaps have Error Pause enabled in console?
acoustic belfry
What do you mean "randomly stops"?
well, thats not the big of the issues, but for an strange reason the gameplay "crashes" mid game, when i shoot the enemy, or thats what i thought, it just happened twice, and with random circustances.
But the issue is, the animation doesn't play, an the bullets dont decrease
rich adder
crashes as in what it freezes?
acoustic belfry
no, it closes
its like the player dies...But without having her dying
wich is...weird
verbal dome
Whole unity closes?
rich adder
are you getting a Bug report window ?
swift crag
only the game, it returns to the editor window
I don't know what that means.
rich adder
thats not game crashing lol
hollow prism
Hi
swift crag
That's probably the editor pausing.
acoustic belfry
my bad, the game stops
acoustic belfry
That's probably the editor pausing.
that
swift crag
This will happen if Error Pause is turned on (and you get an error)
rich adder
then yes you probably have pause on error
acoustic belfry
the issue (wich wasn't the main issue but still), is why?
acoustic belfry
but the main issue, atleast for me, and i think this might fix it, cuz this happened after all the code editing i did
Is why it happens the bullet thing
acoustic belfry
if you have an error you need to fix it lol
t h a t s w h y i m i n h e r e

yes but if its an error we need to see console
acoustic belfry
have you checked console at all
its hard to look at it, due i dont have yet the animations, and i have them on the script, it completely invades the logs
hallow acorn
hey i made this code which i want to use for my player but i cant figure out why he doesnt fall down after a time when holding the space bar. when i release it and press it again he does his second jump which i allowed through my code, but he just doesnt stop accelerating in the air until i release the space bar.

idk what animations have to do with logs
rich adder
ok now we're getting somewhere.
it still wouldnt pause
you have to show runtime errors if any
verbal dome
Show your whole console. Do you have error pause enabled
You can also make it show only errors by selecting this
acoustic belfry
dis is all

are you trying to work with a disabled Animator or something?
swift crag
importantly, you have errors hidden in the console right now
verbal dome
:|
acoustic belfry
are you trying to work with a disabled Animator or something?
i mean, i have the animations set in the script, but i dont have those animations made already, except OBVIOUSLY the reloading one
swift crag
There are zero errors in this screenshot, but, if you had one, it wouldn't show up in the console window
acoustic belfry
i mean, with looking at the code u can't see the problem?
wintry quarry
i mean, i have the animations set in the script, but i dont have those animation...
I mean is the ANimator component disabled? Or maybe it's a component on a prefab instead of in the scene?
Or a disabled GameObject
rich adder
i mean, with looking at the code u can't see the problem?
no
acoustic belfry
I mean is the ANimator component disabled? Or maybe it's a component on a prefab...
no, its not
the enemy walks good
rich adder
was this after the reloading tthing or was that working?
tbh I always prefered transition states than calling Play directly
swift crag
Note that these are warnings, not errors. Trying to play a missing animation state wouldn't throw an exception and break your code.
rich adder
there is def more code throwing these
swift crag
If your game was pausing, that means that an actual error was happening
rich adder
when the game pauses, screenshot your entire console window
swift crag
importantly, you have errors hidden in the console right now
Ensure that you have errors shown (notice how the button is now light gray, not dark gray). Play until the game pauses. You'll have an error in the console.
acoustic belfry
as said, its random, i play it and didnt trigger :<
verbal dome

So balas is the bullet count? And the shooting works, but balas is not decreasing?

exactly
verbal dome
How do you know? Are you looking at the inspector?
acoustic belfry
How do you know? Are you looking at the inspector?
no, im playing it
aaah the decreasing part
yes
im looking at it
verbal dome
Since balas is public, something else could be modifying it
verbal dome
Like another script of yours, or maybe an animation (unlikely)
acoustic belfry
lets see if works
rich adder
btw now i changed it name
btw you can just make it private and it wouldve told you which script was using it from outside
you generally want to keep all fields private
if something else needs access, usually a read only use a Property getter or Method that returns that value
otherwise stick to methods to modify them so clearer whos touching it (eg you can invoke events or print logs when its modified)
rich adder
youre trying to destroy a prefab
slender nymph
you're likely passing the prefab to Destroy rather than the instantiated object
rich adder
yep
slender nymph
it's your code, you tell us why
rich adder
You're doing cs private Bullet bulletPrefab; Destroy(bulletPrefab)
instead of
var bulletInstance = Instantiate(bulletprefab
Destroy(bulletInstance )```o h
acoustic belfry
You're doing ```cs
private Bullet bulletPrefab;
Destroy(bulletPrefab)```
instead...
im sorry if i sound dumb...but what's the difference
rich adder
im sorry if i sound dumb...but what's the difference
well thats why you had the error then lol
one is destroying the prefab in your project (an asset)
the other is Destroying clone, aka the instance made from that asset
acoustic belfry
o h
grand snow
and unity stopped you as well you probably dont want to delete your asset...
rich adder
haha yeah that wouldn't be good if you can just start deleting assets that easy
acoustic belfry
You're doing ```cs
private Bullet bulletPrefab;
Destroy(bulletPrefab)```
instead...
wait, is this actually in my code, or you're guessing?
cuz i been looking in my code...and i didnt find it
slender nymph
that is just an example of what you are doing, not your literal code
acoustic belfry
oh
verbal dome
And no it's not in the code you linked us
acoustic belfry
the deleting thing is in the object
public class MortemRifleProyectile : MonoBehaviour
{
public int damage = 5;
private void OnTriggerEnter2D(Collider2D collision)
{
if (collision.transform.TryGetComponent(out ValeriaController player))
{
player.TakeDamage(damage);
Destroy(gameObject);
}
}
}```thats not it
acoustic belfry
well, there's nothing else
rich adder
there is
rich adder
dont you have something shooting bullets?
acoustic belfry
or i think
rich adder
but i dont have a script that looks like the script you did
just show that one
polar acorn
We don't know where you're calling Destroy
acoustic belfry
We don't know where you're calling Destroy
in the object itself
verbal dome
AHA!
Does this not take you to the code where it happens, when you double click the error message?

the game crashed and this thing appeared
rich adder
the game crashed? or the game stopped doing what you coded it to do..
hallow acorn
hey my player gains height as long as i keep my jump button pressed and i dont know how to do something about it. im relatively sure this section of my code is what causes the problem. i watched the tutorial i was following 3 times and i just cant find it.
acoustic belfry
the game crashed? or the game stopped doing what you coded it to do..
i was slapped back to the editor
verbal dome
the game crashed and this thing appeared
It didn't crash. You have Error Pause enabled. This will pause the Play mode when you get an error
rich adder
cause if that appeared you have pause on error on
verbal dome
the game crashed and this thing appeared
Also you did not answer my question
acoustic belfry
but i mean, this didnt happened before trying to make the reloading s h i t
rich adder
so you try to destroy an asset according to your error, then it pauses
acoustic belfry
Also you did not answer my question
? what question
verbal dome
Double click that error message and see if it shows the code where it happened
acoustic belfry
my T R U E issue, atleast for now, is that the bullets amount dont decrease
rich adder
but i mean, this didnt happened before trying to make the reloading s h i t
we dont know what you added from before till now
acoustic belfry
Double click that error message and see if it shows the code where it happened
its random, and i restarted it, so its lost
i mean
rich adder
look for all scripts that contain Destroy 😬
acoustic belfry
only one
public class MortemRifleProyectile : MonoBehaviour
{
public int damage = 5;
private void OnTriggerEnter2D(Collider2D collision)
{
if (collision.transform.TryGetComponent(out ValeriaController player))
{
player.TakeDamage(damage);
Destroy(gameObject);
}
}
}```Add a log after balas --; line:
Debug.Log("Bullets left: " + balas);```
Show what it prints when you shootdont think Destroy(gameObject) would throw such error
acoustic belfry
dont think `Destroy(gameObject)` would throw such error
well, i searched all scripts
no destroying
verbal dome
dont think `Destroy(gameObject)` would throw such error
It would if it the code runs on a prefab
But I don't think ontriggerenter can run on a prefab
Or something went horribly wrong
acoustic belfry
It would if it the code runs on a prefab
if it wat
