[ripe shard]

i think this "make it fun" argument is used too often as an excuse by people who can't even make it fun independent of any code quality

[sour fulcrum]

That seems like a pretty pretentious opinion tbh

[rich adder]

a tad

[glass lynx]

Some people just really don't care honestly.

[sour fulcrum]

Improving the code of a fun game is far easier than Making some perfectly programmed yet boring experience enjoyable

[glass lynx]

I tend to rewrite entire systems 2-3 times

[timber tide]

godot is actually a great engine if you don't care too much about your code and just want to make a game

[sour fulcrum]

development is highly iterative

[timber tide]

python-type languages are top-tier when you just want to get crap done

[ripe shard]

you make it sound like you need to write shit code to make it fun

[sour fulcrum]

to do it efficently? Honestly a little yes

You prototype ideas as fast possible to test them out

[ripe shard]

maybe your definition of good code isn't that well defined

[rich adder]

good code is code that works tbh

if it does what you want it to do, its good code

[glass lynx]

Unless its some highly game intensive thing that its doing

[sour fulcrum]

Committing time to developing a system that's going to get thrown out tomorrow is a massive waste of time

[ripe shard]

i get the feeling that "good code" is whatever fits the argument someone is trying to make

[rich adder]

depends alot on the project you're working on too.. Who's gonna be spending tons of time doing every single SOLID by the T on a quick gamejam with other people ?
you're creating extra abstractions for someone else who might not know anything and waste time explaining everything

[dense wind]

the idea of a prototype is that its not the final

[sour fulcrum]

it just kinda seems like you dislike the idea that bad code can be preferable to write in some contexts

[dense wind]

you can hack together a prototype to test out an idea, but if you hack together an entire game ur gonna get fucked over by technical debt

[ripe shard]

you see, one guy is talking about prototying, the other about finishing a complicated factory game in a team of 20... how will they ever agree on whats good/bad by discussing abstract examples in a void?

[rich adder]

I think there is a misunderstand, I'm mainly speaking during prototyping / getting some ideas out

[sour fulcrum]

the complicated factory game would have been prototyped homie

[rich adder]

idk what yall talking about

[timber tide]

Unity already forces bad coding practices on you by not allowing custom mono constructors so you've some funky accessors if not serialized from the editor

[sour fulcrum]

and by fucking up my generics 😠

[dense wind]

custom mono constructors?

[timber tide]

You don't new your components with parameters, do you? ;p

[dense wind]

when do you new a component

[rich adder]

thats the point no?

[sour fulcrum]

yeah but you can't define specific constructors for them which in theory would be nice

[dense wind]

you mean in the inspector? when u hit add component?

[sour fulcrum]

no via code

[polar acorn]

They're saying that the fact that they can't use new on components enforces bad practices

Can't do proper Dependency Injection

[dense wind]

I think ive only added a component at runtime like. once?

so ig I dont know the use case

[rich adder]

AddComponent isnt related

like
MyComponent comp = new(injectSomethingHere)

[timber tide]

if you want to initialize data you're doing it in awake/start or your own personal initializer, but that prevents having private accessors set by constructors, and making that readonly keyword pointless

[dense wind]

im curious why one would want to do that

[sour fulcrum]

eg. if you want to spawn a person prefab and you have some scriptableperson template you need to provide them when spawning them. there isn't a built in way to offer some way to provide that on creation

[rich adder]

DI alone is a major benefit

[polar acorn]

But you've almost certainly used Instantiate and then immediately set a variable on it

[dense wind]

ohh you mean like that

that sounds more like you want a constructor for the gameobject, no?

[rich adder]

gameobject has a constructor

we're talking about components

[dense wind]

I have wanted that

[dense wind]

then no, I haven't instantiated a component if thats what you mean

[sour fulcrum]

Once you start messing with making your own classes that aren't inherited from anything you'll probably have a better understanding of the comparison people are making here

[polar acorn]

Then you're probably not using Instantiate properly. You shouldn't be passing GameObject to Instantiate, you should use the component you actually want

Which often times also means you set a variable on it right after

[rich adder]

almost never a reason to use GameObject class directly

[sour fulcrum]

The semi-logic issue here is that while yes GameObjects hold components in 99% of cases there tends to be a primary component on the gameobject that is what people are spawning

the reality is that GameObject's have your primary component but how you actually use Unity tends to be more that your Primary Component has a GameObject

[acoustic belfry]

Animator.GetCurrentAnimatorStateInfo works for know info about the current animation state, but is there an equivalent that sees for an specific animator state independent if its the current or not?

[dense wind]

I guess I'm doing things wrong then

[rich adder]

GameObjects cant live without component and component cannot exist without GameObject

[polar acorn]

Calling Instantiate on a component still clones the whole object, but returns a reference to the component without needing a separate GetComponent

[dense wind]

I think for the most part I dont do that bc

• a public Gameobject prefab works better than a public Projectile projectilePrefab
• my objectpooler I wrote years ago wouldn't like it

[rich adder]

MyComponent myInstance = Instantiate(prefab, etc.)
myInstance.DoStuff```

[polar acorn]

In what way does that "work better"? It's the opposite of working better

[dense wind]

I do know how it works yes

[polar acorn]

it works worse

[dense wind]

I mean in the inspector

[polar acorn]

Again - in what way does it "work better"

[ripe shard]

its more GameObjectly typed

[dense wind]

I don't have time to do an example

[naive pawn]

specifying the component that you use makes the editor ensure the component exists on the given object/prefab

[dense wind]

so well just assume ur right

[polar acorn]

Using a component type for prefabs is pure upside. You assign it exactly the same way but now you don't have to do GetComponent

[rich adder]

its not just them , its pretty much how its done properly universally

[polar acorn]

there is literally no lost functionality

[dense wind]

but last time I checked u couldn't search thru prefabs with that sort of thing

like if u clicked on the little dot nothing showed up

[rich adder]

probably something unlreated

[dense wind]

I could be wrong

[sour fulcrum]

that is true, you would need to enable the more advanced searching feature

unity's default asset search rn struggles with that

[eternal needle]

Components have a direct reference to the game object its on, there is literally no code downside to using the component in instantiate

[rich adder]

thats just unity inspector being weird. I just drag n drop it, never do i use that icon thing

[eternal needle]

And yea drag and drop is better for that

[dense wind]

I use it maybe 90% of the time

[rich adder]

if Projectile is a Component it will show a field just like Gameobject would

[dense wind]

but thats just me

[sour fulcrum]

(in other contexts that search thing is a massive pain tho)

[rich adder]

it works 50% of the time lol

[timber tide]

Transform is also the cooler GameObject reference binding

[naive pawn]

it's simultaneously too broad and too narrow lmao

[rich adder]

I also use Transform when I have no other components :p

[timber tide]

Yeah absolutely

[rich adder]

right? its either ALL or nothing..

[sour fulcrum]

the cooler search mode handles it way nicer

[rich adder]

yeah the new search is goated

[naive pawn]

can't easily filter for a single package, gotta go through all of them 😭

[rich adder]

luckily the new search has useful filters. Havent tried packages yet

[eternal needle]

Is there something specific you need this for? Last I recall you can do this in editor but not sure about at runtime. It sounds like a weird thing to need

[acoustic belfry]

i need a timer to have the exact lenght of a clip

and i felt like using the currentstate would make it more...unstable? i dont know how to explain it

[eternal needle]

Cant u reference the clip directly instead of trying to go through the animator states then? Even if using some #if editor to assign it to a value

[acoustic belfry]

how

thats my issue

Hi, why does the local variable isTriggered declared as false becomes true @line 47? I tried to place a print log on line 24 and 37 but it never got there to change it to true.

Hello, I need a little bit of help on my project. There's an issue with my slots UI in my 2D game. For exmaple, I would have 5 same items in my inventory, I am able to drop them too. But the moment I drop them and close the inventory UI, the slots UI icon will revert back to its white box and not show the item icon despite having 4 left. I've tried everything :( nothing works

Did you try debugging?

[hearty glade]

I had a print earlier on those line, but I deleted it them. This is my console before i deleted them.

[rich adder]

why delete them if you're still debugging

I would use debugger and put a break point on either of those

[hearty glade]

Thanks for this, I figured it out!

I just had to put the local variable in the for loop

I'm going to try that today, I'll come back if it doesn't work

[silent vault]

Hello, when I click the help menu in a component window, it opens the local documentation file in a text editor instead of the default browser. Is it possible to either change the default program to open the doc or disable local documentation?

I can't find the documentation in built in package like google said to disable it

Running Unity 6

I don't see any option to select browser in the external tools like google said :/

Note that I DO want windows to open html files with my text editor. But I want Unity html doc to open with the browser obviously. So I can't change Windows default program for html files like google suggest either...

Or how to remove the doc I downloaded instead? :/

Ok, I deleted the documentation folder in the editor/data folder and modified the module.json file to set selected to false in the editor folder too. The documentation still shows as installed but links to open in the online doc now. Really buggy way to fix the issue. Modules should be toggable in the hub.

[rugged beacon]

whats the correct way of handling dealing damages logic, do i set a damage variable on the weapon or the projectile, substract the other object health when weapon or projectile colide ?

[rich adder]

WeaponStats in weapon sets damage amount, if its a projectile then set it on the projectile

health / damage receiver should not care who its from, just the amount to subtract void Damage(float amount)

[rugged beacon]

thanks agree
but where should that void damage be? in the IEnemy? or the weapon or projectile if has projectile?

i feels like its the latter you saying but i seen the method TakeDamage very common in the IEnemy interface

[rich adder]

weapon calls if its raycast, projectile calls if it directly hits.
Yeah TakeDamage is fine, a better interface would be IDamage or something, since enemies wouldnt probably be your only thing that damages

[rugged beacon]

IDamage is new first time i seen this, thanks i'll try that

[rich adder]

yeah I mean naming is up to you, just makes more sense to generalize it

you could also use a dedicated component approach too

[rugged beacon]

i mean first time i seen damage class outside the player/enemy/weapon class

[rich adder]

many objects for my world damage including random props in the world :p

[rugged beacon]

yea makes more sense fr

[civic cradle]

hey mates, quick question:
is it possible to have an extra option in this manager in the context-menu (for example: new command), which then creates a scriptable object or whatever under it?
I only what to have it at this point.

I thought about something like

[CreateAssetMenu(fileName = "Command", menuName = "New Command")]
public class Command

but that would mean I already have that object created. I'd rather create a new "template", if you know what I mean

it's in "Don't Destroy On Load" section in Hierarchy

[west radish]

https://discussions.unity.com/t/debug-updater-object-appears-in-hierarchy-on-play/861006/3

looking online, it seems to be a URP thing

I've not seen it before, but is it causing any problems for you?

its for debugging so its not like the final built game would have it

[echo copper]

it doesn't open on my pc idk why

[west radish]

put UnityEngine.Rendering.DebugManager.instance.enableRuntimeUI = false; in any script

[echo copper]

okay

just put it in the debug script, it worked, thanks

[west radish]

no worries!

[sour fulcrum]

dunno what your asking for specifically but you might want a contextmenu attribute?

[vital helm]

can i use
Input.GetKeyPressed()
or is it not recommended to?

[slender nymph]

considering that doesn't exist, i'd say it is not recommended to use that. perhaps you want to double check the documentation for the Input class

[vital helm]

i meant GetKeyDown sorry

[slender nymph]

if that is what suits your needs best, then use it

[west radish]

Why would you think its not recommended to use it?

[vital helm]

ah well.. i don't know

[burnt vapor]

I suppose the best answer to this is no, it's not recommended, use the new input system instead.

[gleaming kraken]

as nice as sebastian lague's tutorial on procedural generation is just following him is not very helpful. Is there any good source to actually understand wtf im writing?

[timber tide]

You can alway just do OpenGL tutorials and transfer that knowledge over

[visual linden]

It's also very much not a beginner topic, but it's super interesting and there's a lot of engine-agnostic theories around it that you can find online, or in books. Essentially you should be able to use your understand of math and procedural generation -as its own topic- (not from some Unity specific context) and apply that to runtime mesh generation.
Lague's tutorial I feel already assumes quite a solid understanding of vector math.

[gleaming kraken]

oh yeah i'm a little cooked if that's the case. I understand the syntax, but the logic behind it is way out of my math level as of right now, considering I still have no clue what trigonometry even is. I should probably do procedural generation when I actually have a better understanding of math

[burnt vapor]

Sebastian League's videos are not tutorials. They're more dev vlogs with the occasional summary of what was done to make it happen. I don't think it was ever supposed to be more than generally educational.

[timber tide]

it's really just throwing waves at the vertex shader

or noise

[visual linden]

Oh oh, I love sharing this playlist from Freya Holmér. She does an absolutely brilliant job teaching this stuff.
https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLImQaTpSAdsArRFFj8bIfqMk2X7Vlf3XF&feature=shared

[gleaming kraken]

ah, this seems really, really useful! Thank you so much.

[timber tide]

Honestly dont even need to touch trig. Grab yourself the fastnoise library and sample that

Unless you're creating something more dynamic like ocean waves, it's not likely you're creating something structured purely on trig functions

[visual linden]

Also, if it's enough for your needs, MapMagic is free on the assetstore and is incredible for generating procedural terrain

your IDE is definitely not configured, you installed the IDE but follow the steps i linked above for it to provide you with syntax highlighting and more

okay sorry

[eternal needle]

go through every step carefully. the instructions work.
theres no way in the minute you took between each response that you actually read through and followed every instruction

and also as a reminder to people

[rich ice]

bit harsh, could just tell the answer (assuming its as simple as this one) and also give them the !ide command

[slender nymph]

that will just cause them to ignore the instructions to configure their ide so they just come back with further problems and unconfigured tools

[stark ingot]

Doesn't this mean it's configured..?

that is one step of the process

if you have a problem with the rules then take that up with the mods #1161868835423526933

Theres literally nothing to say other than fully read the instructions, which ive told you a few times already.

do i need to add something else?

have you configured visual studio yet

im trying to configure it i think thats the problem

[slender nymph]

that is not related to your issue, but it is a requirement for getting help here

[rich ice]

not the problem, but it will massively help with debugging it

[ebon marsh]

oh ok

which guide should i choose

i had visual studio installed before i even tried unity for school

[rich ice]

installed manually

[rich ice]

try turning off gravity on the object, temporarily. it could be moving slowly due to friction

[stark ingot]

This might be really stupid question, but I'm trying to get a square to lerp across four points infinitely. For some reason, it's teleporting from the last point to the first point. It's getting to the reset point I made, but it's not resetting itself so it doesn't teleport. Here's the code: (it's mainly the last if statement) https://paste.mod.gg/oobojukmsbyc/0

[rich ice]

you can set arrays in the inspector y'know. one, two, three and four can just be turned into a single array

[ebon marsh]

it seems i have deleted my visual studio installer can i do these steps in the app as well

never mind

[stark ingot]

I might be very wrong, but I think I did that..? That's when you drag it in to fill the public variables, right?

[ebon marsh]

im just stupid i found the other steps

[slender nymph]

you can do it for arrays too instead of allocating a new array every single frame you can just populate the array in the inspector instead of having numbered variables

[slender nymph]

also because the first parameter of Lerp is the starting point and when you reach the end of the array you reset so the starting point is the beginning of the array again you will always teleport back to that point and move to the next one.
Consider restructuring a bit, you could instead use MoveTowards rather than Lerp with a constant speed, and use the current position as the first parameter and the target from the array as the next, then when you reach the target change the target to be the next one in the array

[stark ingot]

My professor made this assignment to practice using Lerp or Slerp, so I have a good hunch he wouldn't like it if I used something else sadly

[slender nymph]

or just keep track of what the current point is and what the target is in separate variables instead of using a single int i since you are much more limited that way with your current setup

[slender nymph]

tbf MoveTowards is basically the same thing as lerp, just with a specific speed instead of a specific time

[stark ingot]

Is the rate for Lerp not its speed..?

[slender nymph]

no, it is the percentage from A to B (or normalized time)
https://unity.huh.how/lerp/overview

[polar acorn]

Lerp(a, b, t) will return a value that is t% of the way between a and b

[stark ingot]

Oh I see

[ebon marsh]

yo i fixed the problem

as soon as i installed the extension it magically works

thanks for help

[eternal needle]

not too sure if you solved the problem above, but usually in this setup you'd want to keep track of how long you actually want it to take between objects. That "how long it takes" being used as the 3rd parameter in your lerp like T= (currentTime/totalDuration)
right now your rate would be 100 frames which is not a good thing. 100 frames could be 1 second for someone, or 5 seconds for someone else

[stark ingot]

I'm still trying and failing at fixing this, but how would you keep track of that sort of thing..? I don't think I've learned how to do that yet

[rich ice]

add by Time.deltaTime and divide by how many seconds you want it to take

[eternal needle]

the total duration you define as a float, like you want it to take 1 second to go from A to B
you have another float used to keep track of the current time. it starts at 0 and you add to it every update

currentTime += Time.deltaTime

which is the time that it took between the last and current frame

then your 3rd lerp paramter is currentTime/totalDuration since its a normalized value, between 0 and 1

[dark laurel]

Quick other thing.. make this:

 if (i > 4 || i + 1 > 4) //if it's at the final point, reset i

into this (it's easier to read and understand)

if (i > 3)

"why use many word when few work" is absolutely true when programming - the less code you have, the easier it'll be to find issues

[stark ingot]

I already change it to

if (i + 1 > 4)

[dark laurel]

even this is "non-idiomatic" and hard to read

if (i >= 4)

is much better

whenever you add something to a variable - you're usually indicating that you want to change that variable - conditional statements should have as little logic as possible in them so they read like english

we wouldn't say "if i plus one is more than 4" we would say "if i is more than 5"

[eternal needle]

not jordan, thats exactly why sharping says this is non-idiomatic. its not completely obvious at first glance

[stark ingot]

I figured since i + 1 is the end position, you'd add one to double check if it's at said end position, no?

[dark laurel]

yes, but it's a question of readability

you want to make your code as absolutely close to english as possible so bugs pop out

yes

[stark ingot]

Got it

Sorry, I'm very tired

[dark laurel]

paste your latest code and describe what's wrong again?

after i delete the shopUI game object I can't get make another copy

its not setting the isShopSpawned to false for some reason

[eternal needle]

unless you changed it inspector, by default it will start as false. nothing in your code sets it to false during runtime though

[twin pivot]

look at the message i reacted to

[twin pivot]

i'm also getting a null reference error for line 18 here

[rich ice]

the getScript gameObject does not have the popup script on it

[eternal needle]

so its null, and not assigning the value to false

you should deal with your errors first normally

[twin pivot]

thanks, turns out i had the child of the object in it instead

[polar acorn]

What is the point of having getScript here? Just drag the thing you want into script

[eternal aspen]

When using a box collider for a ground check what is the best way to differentiate a wall from the ground so my player isn't being counted as grounded when jumping up against a wall?

[slender nymph]

use a physics query instead of relying on collision/trigger messages and make the query only just large enough to determine if the object is grounded and not so large that it would be considered grounded when just next to ground/wall

[eternal aspen]

Like a boxcast?

[slender nymph]

yes, or really any shape cast you need. and if you don't need info like the normal of the surface you are on then a simple Overlap(Shape) will suffice

[eternal aspen]

This is what my collider and ground check box looks like right now. Do you think a box cast would work best? and I know this is only slightly related but do you think I should use a secondary collider on the bottom that is the width of the feet?

[timber tide]

https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.0/Documentation/ScriptReference/Collider2D.Overlap.html
You can use that if you wanna do physic queries

And keep the setup you got there^

I don't mind the collision methods, but I like having it all in update/fixed so I can structure out the events orderly

[eternal aspen]

Oh neat so this will allow me to determine the properties of the collision and use that information to decipher what the player is colliding with?

[timber tide]

public int Overlap(Vector2 position, float angle, ContactFilter2D contactFilter, List<Collider2D> results); ```
Check that one

Actually one at the bottom:

public int Overlap(ContactFilter2D contactFilter, Collider2D[] results); ```

Can use a filter, or grab every object and cycle through it. Filters nice though if you only care about the floor and stuff like that

[eternal aspen]

I am a bit confused haha. I am a newbie programmer.

[timber tide]

So, you create a ContactFilter2D as well and then you set the LayerMask onto it using:
https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.0/Documentation/ScriptReference/ContactFilter2D.SetLayerMask.html

[eternal aspen]

I have the ground layer mask set.

[timber tide]

public class Character : Monobehaviour
{
  [SerializeField] private LayerMask groundLayersToDetect;
  Collider2D[] groundResults = new Collider2D[10];
  ContactFilter2D groundFilter = new ContactFilter2D();

  private void Awake()
  {
    groundFilter.SetLayerMask(groundLayersToDetect);
  }

  private void FixedUpdate()
  {
    int count = Physics2D.OverlapCollider(groundFilter, groundResults);

    for (int i = 0; i < count; i++)
    {
      if(groundResults[i].TryGetComponent(out Enemy enemy)
      {
        //Your feet hit an enemy
        break;
      }

      if(groundResults[i].TryGetComponent(out Terrain terrain)
      {
        //Your feet hit terrain
        break;
      }
    }
  }
}

something like that

I think that's how the filter works. Been a minute

I'm trying to have a square lerp to four points infinitely in circle of sorts. At the moment, it goes to all the points, but when it goes from the last point back to the beginning the square teleports and I can't figure out why. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated, here's the code: https://paste.mod.gg/qpiqiashwfex/0

[slender nymph]

#💻┃code-beginner message

[stark ingot]

I tried doing that and instead of moving smoothly, it teleported to all the points for some reason

[slender nymph]

show what you actually tried then

[stark ingot]

void Update()
{
    Transform[] array = { One, Two, Three, Four };

    rate += 0.01f;

    if (rate < 1) //if it's not at the end yet
    {
        transform.position = Vector3.Lerp(array[start].position, array[end].position, rate);
    }
    else //it's at the end, so reset everything
    {
        start++;
        end++;
        rate = 0;
        if (start > 3) //if it's at the final point, reset i
        {
            start = 0;
        }
        if (end > 3)
        {
            end = 0;
        }
    }
}

[slender nymph]

well you're still using the wrong t value. but what are the values of start and end

[stark ingot]

The time is confusing me slightly

Start and end both start at zero

[slender nymph]

instead of adding 0.01f just add Time.deltaTime (assuming you want it to take about 1 second to reach each point)

[slender nymph]

and you didn't see that as a problem?

that would mean start and end are the same

[stark ingot]

How would you separate them, though..? Since they increase at the same time

That might be a really stupid question, I'm very tired

[slender nymph]

think about it for a second. how far apart (in terms of index) should they be?

[stark ingot]

A delay of one, right?

[slender nymph]

like if start is 0, what should end be in order to be the desired point

[stark ingot]

Would it be 4..? For the 4th position in the array..?

I feel like that's wrong though

Or would it be 1 already?

[slender nymph]

because it is wrong. if start is 0, meaning the first point in the array, what should end be? remember, end is not the end of the array, it is just named confusingly but is the desired target position of the lerp

[stark ingot]

Then it'd be 1, right? Since 1 is the second point in the array

I think..?

[slender nymph]

right

so end should always be 1 greater than start (with the exception of when it loops back around to the beginning)

[stark ingot]

It's finally working, thank you

[slender nymph]

now as for this code:

if (start > 3) //if it's at the final point, reset i
{
    start = 0;
}
if (end > 3)
{
    end = 0;
}

because you are no longer needing to check if you are at the second to last position, this is incorrect. and can also be simplified (and made better).
so rather than hard coding the last number, you should instead use the length of the array so you don't have to change the number if you decide to add or remove elements of the array.
you can also use the % operator to properly loop it instead of hard coding the loop. so like start++; start %= array.Length; would correctly loop it once it reaches the end of the array

of course you can also extract that bit out as a method and use local variable instead of field and just return the new value, that would then allow you to use the method in place of a second variable

[rocky canyon]

how would i go about creating something similar to this in script?
also not exactly sure where to post..
I see the BackInOut and kinda now think i could do it with some tweening libraries..
but im more interested in how its broken up.. are there two spheres? do u tween each one to get different "effects" .. you think its using any type of masking?
and would i use math and use the radius? or perhaps just rotate a GO w/ an offset instead?

any insight would be appreciated 🙏

[slender nymph]

so something like this:

private void Update()
{
  t += Time.deltaTime;
  if(rate > 1)
    target = GetNextPoint(target);

  transform.position = Vector3.Lerp(array[target].position, array[GetNextPoint(target)].position, t);
}

private int GetNextPoint(int point)
{
  point++;
  point%= array.Length;
  return point;
}

[stark ingot]

So Time.deltaTime can replace the rate?

[slender nymph]

it would replace your hard coded 0.01f since that would vary the time it takes based on the framerate

using Time.deltaTime the way i am would make the lerp take exactly 1 second no matter what the framerate is

[gleaming kraken]

Apparently she also has a shader playlist. So goated

[stark ingot]

Oh I see

[slender nymph]

you could also divide deltaTime by the desired number of seconds you want it to take in order to change how fast the lerp happens

[stark ingot]

Good to know, thank you

[cosmic dagger]

You can do this with a mask and a circle image with a radial fill, though it won't have the rounded end caps. For animation, rotating the UI GameObject will mimic this effect. You can use a tween library for that . . .

[rocky canyon]

thanks.. thats sorta the train of the thought i was aboard as well

What is thr code for walking and jumping and turning and running?

[slender nymph]

there are dozens, if not hundreds, of movement tutorials for unity. take your pick of the lot and follow it

[woven kraken]

Ok

[gleaming kraken]

there's also the built in premade controllers by unity themselves

u can use Rigidbody movement or
more arcade-y CharacterController movement..
you should probably consider that first.. theres pros and cons for both

[robust willow]

what?

[gleaming kraken]

need some help. Trying to reflect a raycast manually, but i'm running into some issues:

(ignore the errors, I had a stack overflow due to setting the raycast length too high initially)

for some reason, after it reflects, it still raycasts the original ray, so rather than move on to a new one it just keeps on hitting the floor over and over again and only reflecting that. (At least I think that's what happening). What is a simple way to stop this behavior?

relatively basic script attached

[teal viper]

There's nothing in your code that would make more than 2 raycasts. Which is exactly what we're seeing in the screenshot
Didn't notice the recursion

[gleaming kraken]

is it not a recursive function?

[winter echo]

https://paste.mod.gg/ here is the code he keep when i press the R button it get stuck when i press trigger in the animator its fine idk what to do i spent like 3 hrs idk what the problem

[teal viper]

It is, sorry. Let me have a look again.

[gleaming kraken]

ok so, very oddly enough:

after increasing the raycast length and letting bounces only happen a certain amount of times (to avoid stack overflow), it now registers a second bounce

my new issue here is that since draw gizmos happens every frame, i don't have a chance to see it

any clue on how I might overcome this?

[teal viper]

Wdym by that?

[gleaming kraken]

basically, the bounce only appears for 7 frames before the OnGizmosDrawn() function is called again, which resets the bounce to default I believe?

but that doesn't really make sense

it would just stay at the end

i've got to be doing something wrong here

[teal viper]

Can you share what it looks like now and the updated code? A video might be needed.

[gleaming kraken]

hyg

[teal viper]

Can you upload the video as MP4?

[winter echo]

sorry

[gleaming kraken]

(turns out it's only 1 frame)

[winter echo]

give me a sec

[teal viper]

1. You still seem to have an error in the console.
2. Collapsing the logs makes them basically useless, as we don't know what's happening during each frame.

[gleaming kraken]

alright, one moment, let me fix those rq:

[teal viper]

Is it the clipping through the ground during jump that you're trying to fix?

[winter echo]

when i press R its start to loop when i jump and start move in his place

[teal viper]

Ah okay.

1. You should be looking at the parameters tab in the animator when the issue happens.
2. You should check the conditions of the transitions between the animator states.
3. Log to the console whenever the parameters relevant to the conditions are set in the code.
4. When you can confirm that your code keeps on setting parameters indefinitely, look at the relevant code and see why it runs when it shouldn't.

[gleaming kraken]

there you go, same code but just not collapsed

[winter echo]

in the perameters when i hit trigger its works normaly but when i but an input it gose wild

[teal viper]

More errors in the console this time.

[winter echo]

the console is clean af

[teal viper]

Also, what I recommend is starting the game paused, then stepping one frame, so that we only have logs for one frame.

[gleaming kraken]

might be old because after clearing it's empty

[gleaming kraken]

ah but it's not the game, it's the editor with gizmos (which is why i can't efficiently debug it)

[teal viper]

Follow the steps that I mentioned.

[teal viper]

Okay, so unless we're missing some logs(because they move too quick), it seems like only the ground is hit.🤷‍♂️

[gleaming kraken]

you can see for a split second that the right is being hit

yeah this is a bit tricky, I'm probably just doing something wrong

[teal viper]

Share the updated code.

[teal viper]

I'd also recommend using Vector3.Reflect instead of whatever math you're doing currently.

Yeah, it's likely that your math is producing weird results. Trying to figure it to visualize what it does, make my head hurt.

But positions being mixed with directions in a dot product would usually mean you're doing something wrong.

[gleaming kraken]

yeah that's most likely it. Thank you anyways!

[gleaming kraken]

yeah that fixed it

the issue was with my math

[winter echo]

fixed it was the animation event bruh

[acoustic belfry]

btw there's no other way for make the script wait/delay apart of using the timer, coroutines?

like a more simplier way?

or a way that uses animation clips maybe?

[teal viper]

There's async

[timber tide]

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/MonoBehaviour.Invoke.html

[teal viper]

Coroutines and timers are already pretty simple

[timber tide]

invoke when you just can't be bothered

yeah coroutines are nice. I do find them to feel bulky when you just wanna pause execution till next frame

ends up turning all my methods into enumerators

[winter echo]

what the error iam confuised

[teal viper]

Seems like an animator window/editor bug.
Try closing the window(removing the tab), clearing the console and reopening it again.

[celest jay]

Can someone help me with VSCode?? I am using c# devkit and unity extension but it's acting weird...
On the first one, I pressed return/enter on the snippet I wanted
On the second one, i pressed SHIFT+9 (opening parentheses)

Anyone else experiencing this?

[acoustic belfry]

Interesting. Sounds usefull :3
Thx
Yeah u understand

[acoustic belfry]

How does that works?
I mean, timers are simple, but i dont want to fill up my code with values only everytime i want it to wait a sec

[true olive]

Did ya try a restart? Sometimes mine gets goofy until I restart it

Also one time I tried downloading codemaid and color semantics and had to disable them both in my VS or it wouldnt load older scripts. Wonky sometimes

[eternal needle]

Async will be much more complicated and definitely wasnt suggested as something for you to use. It's just something that exists
Just use a timer or coroutine

[teal viper]

Then Invoke would do what you want. If you want a bit more sophisticated system, you could write a manager script that executes a delegate after the desired time. The script itself could use any of the mentioned solutions, but it would help simplify your code where you actually need a delay. You'd just need to TimedExecutionManager.RunAfterDelay(MethodToRun, 5f);.

Also, I'd disagree about async. While the way it works is indeed way more complicated than a timer and you need to know how it works to avoid exploding your project, once you know it, writing simple delays and other delayed/async logic becomes very simple:

async void MethodWithDelay()
{
  await Task.Delay(delayTime);
  //actual logic after the delay
}

I'm writing from memory, so some syntax or api might be slightly wrong.

[mystic ferry]

I'm so confused. This has worked perfectly since I wrote it but all of a sudden it's doing whatever this is. I have not edited the object or the script. Last things I did on the project were completely unrelated. I will send some code.

[fair crane]

void Update()
{
    transform.Rotate(new Vector3(15, 30, 45) * Time.deltaTime);
    if (transform.position.y <= 1)
    {
        transform.position = new Vector3(transform.position.x, transform.position.y + bounce, transform.position.z) ;
    }
    else
    {
        transform.position = new Vector3(transform.position.x, transform.position.y - bounce, transform.position.z);
    }
}

so i did this
but the object bounces very fast
and if i multiply with delta time, it doesnt bounce anymore

Hierarchy setup if it matters.

[acoustic belfry]

hey, in a 2D game what's the easiest way to make that the enemy slighty moves to the contrary side it got hit by a missle or a melee?

[thorn holly]

Find the normal vector of the collision point and apply that force onto the enemy

[thorn holly]

Actually wait there’s a few ways to do it

Mostly depends on how ur games set up

For example, if the missile explodes, just make it find the vector from the center of the explosion to the enemy, then apply that vector onto the enemy, decreasing its force based on how far away the two points are from each other

[mystic ferry]

[naive pawn]

this will make it oscillate very fast around y=1

[fair crane]

yes. thats the problem

i want it to oscillate slowly

like coins

[naive pawn]

bouncing is a damped.. well, not really an oscillator

but yeah you usually don't add bounce

you multiply an existing speed by a bounce

why the <=1 check?

[fair crane]

if the object goes below y = 1 i add some value to it

[naive pawn]

also have you considered using physics to handle it?

[fair crane]

so it starts to go up

[naive pawn]

ok, but why exactly that value? hardcoding a specific height would make this code not very flexible

[fair crane]

okay

so what changes should i make

[naive pawn]

first off, what exactly are you trying to achieve

and how does y=1 relate to it

[fair crane]

coins in a game which oscillate up and down as well as rotate

[naive pawn]

do you want them to oscillate or bounce

[fair crane]

yes oscillate

[naive pawn]

as, say, a sine wave?

[fair crane]

yes

[naive pawn]

then use that

Mathf.Sin(Time.time * frequency * 2 * Mathf.PI), perhaps

[fair crane]

 private float bounce = 50f;
 private float speed = 50f;
 // Update is called once per frame
 void Update()
 {
     transform.Rotate(new Vector3(15, 30, 45) * Time.deltaTime);
     if (transform.position.y <= 1)
     {
         transform.position = new Vector3(transform.position.x, (Mathf.Sin(Time.time * speed))*bounce, transform.position.z) ;
     }
     else
     {
         transform.position = new Vector3(transform.position.x, (Mathf.Sin(Time.time * speed))*bounce, transform.position.z);
     }

[naive pawn]

you wouldn't check for the y position

[fair crane]

this worked

[fair crane]

what if i want it to oscillate only for a certain height

[naive pawn]

although, that'll make all your coins oscillate in sync, which may not be the effect you want

[naive pawn]

that would be factored into the sin calculation

there's no condtional here

sin already goes from positive to negative and back

Sin gives a value in the range [-1, 1]
if you want to scale or move that range, you can multiply or add to it

[fair crane]

can i oscillate the object in the range [0,1]

how would i do this

[rich ice]

absolute or clamp the value

probably absolute if you're trying to make it bounce

[fair crane]

okay

thank you very much

[naive pawn]

*0.5 + 0.5

[naive pawn]

clamping wouldn't really work with sine

[fair crane]

thanks for the help

            collisions.faceDirection = (int)Mathf.Sign(velocity.x);
        HorizontalCollisions(ref velocity);
        if (velocity.y != 0 || player.isRolling)
            VerticalCollisions(ref velocity);
        if (player.isDashing)
            DashingVerticalCheck(ref velocity);
        if (player.isRolling)
            RollingEdgeCheck(ref velocity);
        if (velocity.x != float.NaN)
            transform.Translate(velocity);
        else
            Debug.Log("wtf went wrong");
        if (standingOnPlatform)
            collisions.below = true;
    }

This is the bulk of my movement, which runs in update
(forgive my gross usage of if statements, this is one of the earliest working scripts I made)

        if (!motionLocked)
                controller2D.Move(velocity * Time.deltaTime, input);

noticed I am actually already doing this, but I still have the issue of jump height being frame dependant... any idea how to fix this?

[brazen cedar]

i already copy the code from a youtube video but it will not work when i press W

[wintry quarry]

not enough context. Share the full script

[wintry quarry]

not enough context. Share your code and show the inspector for the Car Controller

[slate roost]

I will not terrorize you with my awful player script, its kind of terrible and bloated, but I know what parts are invovled in movement

someday I will refactor

what context am I missing that would help?

[wintry quarry]

the rest of the code

I AM NEW IN UNITY so i do not understand what you mean

[wintry quarry]

1. show your code
2. show the inspector for the car controller which you cut off in your first screenshot

[brazen cedar]

i already did

[novel nymph]

    void Start()
    {
        mouseSensitivity = PlayerPrefs.GetFloat("currentSensitivity", 100);
        slider.value = mouseSensitivity / 10;
        Cursor.lockState = CursorLockMode.Locked;
    }

    void Update()
    {
        PlayerPrefs.SetFloat("currentSensitivity", mouseSensitivity);
        float mouseX = Input.GetAxis("Mouse X") * mouseSensitivity * Time.deltaTime;
        float mouseY = Input.GetAxis("Mouse Y") * mouseSensitivity * Time.deltaTime;

        xRotation -= mouseY;
        xRotation = Mathf.Clamp(xRotation, -90f, 90f);

        transform.localRotation = Quaternion.Euler(xRotation, 0f, 0f);
        playerBody.Rotate(Vector3.up * mouseX);
    }

    public void AdjustSpeed(float newSpeed)
    {
        mouseSensitivity = newSpeed * 10;
    }

I know this question is asked a lot and I am pretty sure it has to do with delta time but when I play my game, the camera snaps to positions and if very glitchy.

[wintry quarry]

Where?

[brazen cedar]

what

[wintry quarry]

You should not be multiplying mouse input by Time.deltaTime

[wintry quarry]

where did you share the things I asked for?

[novel nymph]

Thats what I was guessing, but what would I multiply it by then?

[wintry quarry]

nothing

just the sensitivity value, as you are already doing.

[novel nymph]

okay

[brazen cedar]

where

[wintry quarry]

ok that's the inspector, now show your code

[brazen cedar]

ok

here the first side

[wintry quarry]

Don't share code as screenshots

buddy

please read

[brazen cedar]

ok

from there how do i bring the code here

[wintry quarry]

share the link

[brazen cedar]

how

[wintry quarry]

copy and paste it?

I don't even know which site you're using so, hard to answer specifically

They will all have a way to share a link

[brazen cedar]

i am in the BLazeBin site

[wintry quarry]

press save

and share the link

[brazen cedar]

i have press save the problem is sharing the link is it from file

[wintry quarry]

Copy and paste the link

from your browser

from the address bar...

[brazen cedar]

here

[wintry quarry]

lol wtf

JUST SHARE THE LINK

example: https://paste.mod.gg/okxnwjoqnalj/0

[rich ice]

did you download the site and then try to paste it in chat... how do you even do that

[novel nymph]

when I change the variable, nothing changes

[wintry quarry]

are you changing it in the inspector?

because that's where it matters

it should be around 1 or so

[brazen cedar]

ohhhh why didnt you say so https://paste.mod.gg/

[wintry quarry]

this has to be a troll

you just linked the empty site

[novel nymph]

I was changing it in both, but im doing it in just inspector

[brazen cedar]

i did not

[wintry quarry]

the inspector is the ojnly place that matters

[brazen cedar]

what

you said i should copy it

[wintry quarry]

Yes

press save

then copy it

[brazen cedar]

how do i do that

[wintry quarry]

with your mouse

[brazen cedar]

where is the button located

[wintry quarry]

I'm sure you can ffind it

it's not hidden

anyway I need to sleep soon

[brazen cedar]

ok

[novel nymph]

It didn't work, you have to sleep but this is just so people know what im talking about

[brazen cedar]

can you screen shot it pls

[rich ice]

just use another paste site, preferably one thats dyno mentions !code

it works

what did you change the sensitivity to

and what does your code look like

(i blocked the troll)

[novel nymph]

I tried 1 and .001

[wintry quarry]

Which variable did you change

[rich ice]

fair

[wintry quarry]

and are you talking about in the inspector

[novel nymph]

The inspectors mouse sensitivity

[wintry quarry]

mouseSensitivity = PlayerPrefs.GetFloat("currentSensitivity", 100);```

[slate roost]

heres the controller2D script:
https://pastebin.com/rtdn8vSt

and the relevant parts of the player script:
https://pastebin.com/c4ZQSF1M

velocity is multiplied by Time.deltaTime just before its sent over to the controller2D script
and to recap, my problem is that my jump height is framerate dependent

[wintry quarry]

Your code is reading sensitivity from PlayerPrefs

so even changing it in the inspector won't help

[brazen cedar]

here

[wintry quarry]

you need to clear what you set in player prefs

or get rid of that line that loads it from there

[brazen cedar]

i have sent it

[rich ice]

read the bot command, no one is helping until you atleast do the bare minimum

[novel nymph]

That line is for the mouse sensitivity setting, where would I find player perfs?

[wintry quarry]

Yes that's the setting we're discussing...

[brazen cedar]

ok

[novel nymph]

I mean a slider in the game to change it

[wintry quarry]

just comment out the line that reads it from playerprefs for now

[brazen cedar]

so is the code correct

[rich ice]

read the bot message

[brazen cedar]

i have press the link already

HERE IS THE CODE https://paste.myst.rs/u84n7htv/history/0

https://paste.myst.rs/u84n7htv/history/0

[slate roost]

also a quick showcase of the issue
first I jump normally, then I throttle my framerate and try jumping, and I just can't go as high

[brazen cedar]

https://paste.myst.rs/u84n7htv

[rich ice]

stop spamming links

[brazen cedar]

i need someone to help see the code

[rich ice]

yup, and we can see the code. no need to spam it

[brazen cedar]

no no is my code correct to make a car move

https://paste.myst.rs/u84n7htv

[wintry quarry]

For one thing, you won't get a consistent jump height without using a fixed timestep. That's why the physics engine uses a fixed timestep.

[rich ice]

ok im too tired for this. just read this

[slate roost]

I'm starting to think the issue may not be with my movement code, but with some of my timings... like, bcause of the lag, by the time it goes from one frame to another, I've been holding the button long enough that my code says, 'ok, thats enough going up, time to go down'

but because of the lag, I get less upward movement time

hmmm

[wintry quarry]

There are a lot of branches in your code

but yes if you are basing it off how long the player holds the button down or something that can be an issue

[slate roost]

yes, as I said, its a mess 😛

[wintry quarry]

like velocity.y += maxJumpVelocity; is happening each frame?

In some circumstances

[slate roost]

yea, because the jump height is variable, you can end the jump earlier by releasing the button early

[wintry quarry]

but if you're adding a value each frame

you need to moderate that with deltaTime

[brazen cedar]

umm hello

[wintry quarry]

otherwise it will be framerate dependent

[brazen cedar]

i steel need help i have the link

[slate roost]

isn't that already being handled later in the code when I do velocity * Time.delaTime?

[wintry quarry]

unless that's a one-off thing. Hard to tell with the logic.

[wintry quarry]

that's for moving in one frame

but the rate at which you change velocity (accelerate) also needs that adjustment

assuming i'm reading this right that it's actually going to add that every frame

it seems weird you would add something called maxJumpVelocity each frame but I can't tell

[brazen cedar]

HELLLOOO😟😟😟😟😟😟😟

[slate roost]

hmm, I think I understand the concept

[naive pawn]

spamming isn't going to get you help faster...

[rich ice]

i already told you. go read the docs on the wheel collider

[brazen cedar]

sorry pls i need help

[brazen cedar]

what do you mean

[rich ice]

there's a full guide there on how to use it and the code is already written

[brazen cedar]

where

[rich ice]

^ ^ ^

[naive pawn]

what even is the issue, i can't find it lmao

[brazen cedar]

I SAID I AM NEW IN UNITY I AM VERY CONFUSED

[slate roost]

ooh what you're looking at is a special case for moving up slopes and jumping at the same time

else
                {
                    Dust(controller2D.raycastOrigins.atFeet);
                    velocity.y = maxJumpVelocity;
                    source.PlayOneShot(jumpSound, GM.i.globalFlags.sfxVolume, 1);
                }

This is the normal unconditional jump

[rich ice]

stop trying to make a car then and go do the basics. you can find plenty of resources on sites like !learn

[eternal falcon]

:teacher: Unity Learn ↗

Over 750 hours of free live and on-demand learning content for all levels of experience!

[naive pawn]

that's not an issue, that's just your situation. i can't read your mind lol

[brazen cedar]

OK 💥👍

[naive pawn]

you need to calm down

[brazen cedar]

😡😡

[wintry quarry]

you're setting y to the max velocity each frame then right?
Witha slower framerate you will:

• have potentially more error between when the button is released and the next frame comes - meaning it will move up higher
• more inter-frame error with longer frames that means more distance travelled.

Really there is a good reason the physics engine uses a fixed timestep - it's to avoid issues like this

[naive pawn]

have you considered not spamming?

[brazen cedar]

🙄

[naive pawn]

this is a semi-professional space, please act civilly

[brazen cedar]

ooooh well i thought discord will help me

[naive pawn]

we can't help you when you don't let us

[slate roost]

but I'm using transform.Translate to move, not any physics, right?

[naive pawn]

jordan gave you resources already

spamming won't get you anywhere

help is a 2-way street

[slate roost]

the gravity and all movement for my character goes through that controller2D script
I feed it velocity values, and it figures out where my player should be on the next frame

[wintry quarry]

yes and I'm telling you why the physics engine uses a fixed timestep.

[brazen cedar]

what else do you want me to do

[wintry quarry]

there's nothing fundamentally different about what you're doing than what the physics engine does

[slate roost]

oh I get what you mean

should my movement also be in fixed update then?

[wintry quarry]

That would be an easy way to get a fixed timestep

[rich ice]

stop sending messages in chat and go check the resources that have been sent

[wintry quarry]

you would then need to implement visual interpolation if you want the movement to appear buttery smooth though

alternatively - you switch to a Rigidbody which has built-in interpolation available

[slate roost]

the problem is my inputs should stay in update right?
I dont know how to handle the timing between pressing the button in update and doing the movement in fixed update

[naive pawn]

1. stop spamming here and go read the resources jordan mentioned (unity learn (at least unity essentials) & wheel colliders)
2. if you still have problems, give the necessary info for us to help you (ie, what you're trying to do, what issue you're encountering, and relevant context and info, like code shared appropriately) without spamming.

[wintry quarry]

same way anyone does it with Rigidbodies.

You store the player's intent to jump in a variable, and consume it in FixedUpdate

[slate roost]

hmm, I guess I'm already doing that with the jumpBuffer

it is intent to jump, as long as the buffer is >0

so if my movement is in fixed update, should I still be multiplying the velocity by Time.deltaTime?

[wintry quarry]

yes

although inside FixedUpdate, deltaTime takes on the value of fixedDeltaTime automatically

[slate roost]

good to know

[brazen cedar]

i have done all of that

[slate roost]

aah i think I may have found the root of my problem

    private void Start()
    {
        meleeAttacks = GetComponent<MeleeAttacks>();
        dissolve = GetComponentInChildren<Dissolve>();
        controller2D = GetComponent<Controller2D>();
        playerSprite = GetComponent<SpriteRenderer>();
        source = GetComponent<AudioSource>();
        stats.currentHP = stats.maxHP;
        stats.currentMP = stats.maxMP;
        EventMaster.TriggerEvent("SetMaxHPMP");
        //e_setMaxHPMP.Invoke();
        coyoteTime = Time.unscaledDeltaTime * coyoteTimeFrames;
        gravity = -(2 * maxJumpHeight) / Mathf.Pow(timeToJumpApex, 2); //g = -a2 / b^2
        maxJumpVelocity = Mathf.Abs(gravity) * timeToJumpApex;
        minJumpVelocity = Mathf.Sqrt(2 * Mathf.Abs(gravity) * minJumpHeight);
        airborneTimer = 0;
        airDashRemaining = stats.airDashMax;
        manaRegen = stats.manaRegen;
        playerState = PStates.idle;
    }```

I'm defining a bunch of gravity variables in start, and then not adjusting them ever, even if the framerate changes

[naive pawn]

that's not an issue

[slate roost]

but my timeToJumpApex I think is the issue specifically

cause that timing changes depending on the framerate, but my code doesn't account for that

[naive pawn]

i don't think that is either

[naive pawn]

you aren't counting frames, are you?

coyoteTime could have issues, but that's easily solvable by just defining it as time instead of frame count

[slate roost]

well I think I have to call it a night for now
I'll probably try and tackle this some more tomorrow
its been a long standing issue that my jump height is weird at different framerates, and I realyl want to pin down a fix

[quasi hinge]

hey guys I'm making a game and i have this problem where when i damage multiple enemies, the damage each one takes get multiplied by that amount, like when i hit 3 enemies, each one takes 3 damage instead of one, I'm using this code, I'd appreciate it if you told me what's the issue, this is the method I use for damaging:

public void DealDamage()
{
Collider2D[] enemies = Physics2D.OverlapCircleAll(attackPoint.position, weaponRange, enemyLayer);

    if (enemies.Length > 0)
    {
        foreach (var enemy in enemies)
        {
            enemy.GetComponent<Enemy_Health>().ChangeHealth(-damage);
            enemy.GetComponent<Enemy_Knockback>().Knockback(transform, knockbackForce, knockbackTime, stunTime);
        }
    }
}

[naive pawn]

you aren't factoring the amount of enemies hit, you'd need to multiply damage by enemies.Length

also you don't need that length>0 check. if the list is empty, the foreach will make 0 iterations

[quasi hinge]

for some reason it's damaging them even more

wouldn't setting a coroutine on their health fix this problem?

[naive pawn]

that's what you said you wanted though?

oh shit wait

[quasi hinge]

no i want each of them to take only 1 damage

[naive pawn]

im such a dumbass

i read the problem as the goal lmao

okay scratch what i said to do

[quasi hinge]

lol it's alr

[naive pawn]

how are you calling DealDamage?

[quasi hinge]

i have the animation set on a specific frame and there i deal the damage

[vital helm]

It's okay to use Input.GetKeyDown right?

[naive pawn]

why wouldn't it be

[naive pawn]

you're calling DealDamage from the animationclip?

[quasi hinge]

yeah like an animation event

[vital helm]

i always thought "legacy" means it's bad

[naive pawn]

that's not what legacy means, no

[naive pawn]

ok try adding a log to dealdamage to see how many times it's called when you perform an attack that hits multiple enemies

[quasi hinge]

alright

[vital helm]

yeah i figured

[naive pawn]

it's recommended to use the new input system, but there's not really anything wrong with using the old one

[vital helm]

i find the old one much easier for me

[quasi hinge]

i hit 3 enemies but i got 5 messages in the log

[naive pawn]

and you put the debug outside of the loop, right?

[quasi hinge]

uh... oops

let me try again

[naive pawn]

what happens if you hit some other number?

[quasi hinge]

outside the loop it's only called once

so the problem is the damage

maybe some kind of collider problem?

because the hitboxes are bit messy right now

[novel nymph]

How is there an empty statement?

[vital helm]

the ";" at the end of the if statement

this one

[novel nymph]

Yea, I thought it was that but for some reason before, when I deleted it, it said I was using improper syntax.

Now it doesn't

[vital helm]

if it works it works ig

[naive pawn]

ah yeah that could be it, multiple colliders are getting hit and getting damage applied separately. try logging that in the loop with the collider as the context and see if that's the case

[blazing prairie]

    {   
        foreach (var p in m_StoreController.products.all)
        {
            Debug.Log($"Product: {p.definition.id}, Price: {p.metadata.localizedPriceString}");
        }
        if (m_StoreController == null) return "Price Unavailable";
        var product = m_StoreController.products.WithID(productID);
        if (product != null && product.hasReceipt) return product.metadata.localizedPriceString;
        return "Price Unavailable";
    }```  I am using this to fetch prices for my items from google play but its always showing Price Unavailable even though the purhcase is working fine does anyone have any idea how do i fix this ?

[naive pawn]

debug to figure out which of the 2 Price Unavailable results you're getting, then debug to find why the conditions aren't passing as expected

[blazing prairie]

the thing is i am not able to debug in android its working fine in editor

[naive pawn]

ah.

well i guess at least do the first part by making the strings slightly different so you're able to differentiate

[blazing prairie]

thats a good idea !

[novel nymph]

I did that and now the script doesn't work

[blazing prairie]

can you share the entire script here ?

[novel nymph]

        }
    }
}```

[novel nymph]

when I remove the ;, it stops working

[blazing prairie]

try this maybe

[novel nymph]

the script that doesnt work is the on you sent, it works if I put the ";" in but then there is an empty statement error

[blazing prairie]

whats the error message in this script ?

[novel nymph]

Possible mistaken empty statement

[blazing prairie]

no in the one withtout ;

that i sent

[novel nymph]

There is none, but when I use that one the script doesn't cause the game to restart

[blazing prairie]

adding ; only causes syntax error

now we have a logical error i guess

[rancid tinsel]

how does "getchild" work in this case? does it take only the surface level children, or nested children too? assuming FaceAccessory is the categoryParent

[rich ice]

hm, weirdly enough, there's nothing on the docs about that. they usually have notes about edgecases like these

iirc, getchild doesn't return deep children, might be a good idea to double check though.

[echo ruin]

Pretty sure it only get the first later of children, and not the nested ones

[teal viper]

Get child only returns immediate children. If it was going deeper, it would be named GetGrandchild or something

Also, it would be super confusing API if it was traversing the hierarchy deep.

[rancid tinsel]

i thought so but always good to double check, i think there might have been something similar like that

[sour fulcrum]

though GetComponentsInChildren gets the components in the parent your targeting so I can’t blame them for not trusting the names

[rancid tinsel]

but i could not tell you if i made it up in my head or not

[teal viper]

If you use transform as a collection, it includes the parent as well iirc. That's about the only exception.

[rancid tinsel]

I just learned properties recently, and was experimenting a bit. I'm a little confused on why this doesn't work, could someone explain it to me please?

[rich ice]

you need a backing field

stolen from the microsoft docs

private string? _lastName;
public string? LastName
{
    get => _lastName;
    set
    {
        _lastName = value;
        _fullName = null;
    }
}

basically, you need a variable above it for the property to refer to

[rancid tinsel]

ahhh

right I forgot about that

Remove static.

[rancid tinsel]

seems to still throw an error with both solutions

I doubt this is at all a good use of properties anyway tbf

[rich ice]

well, as long as it works

[modest dust]

Treat a property in a similar way you'd treat a Get/Set method, in most cases

First of all, for a static property you need a static backing field

[rancid tinsel]

whats the distinction between a property and getter/setter? i kind of assumed property includes that

[modest dust]

And using Instance within Instance can cause an infinite loop

[rancid tinsel]

OH

right

i did do that

[quasi hinge]

i managed to fix it by adding a 0.5 seconds cooldown to their health decreasing mechanic since the player's attack cooldown is 1 seconds, thanks for the help tho 🙏

[rancid tinsel]

seems visual studio might be having an issue

[ivory bobcat]

There won't be a backing field if you implement the getters and setters

Create an actual field and return/use that type in the getter/setter

[rancid tinsel]

ive got this now but it still has an issue, VS bug or actually unsupported?

[modest dust]

You still didn't implement the getter

How is it gonna know what to return

[rancid tinsel]

oh bruh

idk why but i assumed get; automatically does return instance

no clue why

youre right that was it!

[modest dust]

Treat it the same was as Get/Set methods, as I said

Doesn't matter what they do, they gotta do something

[rancid tinsel]

but yeah this works now 🙂 no more error

[modest dust]

A property just looks like a field but is a bunch of methods under the hood, each method separate from each other, needing implementation

[earnest wind]

im making a level editor, but when moving objects, its not working normally, i can show video

The part of the code that calculates - https://pastebin.com/ERYEq9kV

ask if u have any questions about the variables, im here for solving the bug ;)

the 1st video shows the problem, its inverted when camera is down

[ivory bobcat]

You might want to provide a question to be focused on instead of making people try to interpret the unworking condition

[earnest wind]

i mean my question is why is my solution not working 😭 how can i make it not inverted

btw thats only for Z axis, the blue one, so its kinda weird

[ivory bobcat]

Given the direction from you to the target. Use the dot product with world direction-up to determine if you're above or below the target.

https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.0/Documentation/ScriptReference/Vector3.Dot.html

[earnest wind]

dont i already do this?

[ivory bobcat]

Invert the behavior is below etc

I haven't looked at the code yet.

[earnest wind]

im sorry i think i dont understand cause english is not that good

[earnest wind]

lemme know if u know where the problem might be

i kinda dont understand what u meant but i think i am already doing that

[dense tartan]

Even though direction is only taken once at the beginning of the coroutine, it's still taking value from input every frame and makes the dash go shorter if the input is released and goes back to zero. What am i doing wrong? thanks

private IEnumerator Dash()
    {
        Vector2 direction = new Vector2(movement.x, movement.y).normalized;
        yield return new WaitForSeconds(0.01f);
        canDash = false;
        isDashing = true;
        stamina -= 25;
        float duration = 0.6f;
        float elapsed = 0.0f;
        Invoke("StunTrigger", 0.6f);
        while (elapsed < duration)
        {
            playerRb.AddForce(direction * _dashpower, ForceMode2D.Impulse);
            elapsed += Time.deltaTime;
            yield return null;
        }
        yield return new WaitForSeconds(1.1f);
        isDashing = false;
        canDash = true;
        isStunned = false;
    }

I've tried adding a bool flag but it also didn't work

[ivory bobcat]

Log the dot value and see if it's an acceptable value. If not, log the projected delta and drag delta

Acceptable as in, it's correct relative to what you'd expect

[ivory bobcat]

Place a log and see if you're not actually calling this multiple times to induce the input having an affect on the shortness of the dash

[hearty glade]

Hi, help please. Why it won't return false?

[rich adder]

because your conditions aren't true?

[naive pawn]

yeah they're obviously false there

what are you expecting to get?

[hearty glade]

it returned true. normal value is just 1 but my condition requires 2

[rich adder]

the function returns true, the IF statement you made does not return true, therefore can never hit the false return of function

this is never true

[naive pawn]

dict2 has only 1 pair, (Normal, 1)
dict1 contains Normal, so that's true, negated to false
dict1[Normal] is 2, which is greater than 1, so that's also false

[hearty glade]

Thank you so much folks! ❤️

[uneven galleon]

hey

@uneven galleon

[rich ice]

schizophrenia

[last radish]

For a csgo esque shooter, should i use rigidbody or a character controller for movement?

[naive pawn]

either works

[rich ice]

do you want consistent movement or physics based movement?

[naive pawn]

both can achieve both though

[rich ice]

technically yeah, thats how i tend to differentiate them though lol

[last radish]

Well im not sure if physics based is needed, as there is nothing else than running along a straight ground going on

[naive pawn]

well players can collide with each other, right

and with level geometry

[last radish]

i also folloowed and rb movement tutorial, and i cant seem to fix the fact that there is some sliding happening, but i assume thats my problem.

[naive pawn]

most likely yeah

[last radish]

fairs

[naive pawn]

character controller and rigidbody can achieve the same thing, just that charactercontroller gives you more control but also more to do yourself

[last radish]

oh okay, i think ill stick to rb then.

but on that note, could you help in fixing the sliding?

[naive pawn]

what's your movement code?

Did cinemachine's header change from "using Cinemachine;" in Unity 6?

[last radish]

using UnityEngine;

public class PlayerMovement : MonoBehaviour
{
    [Header("Movement")]
    public float moveSpeed;

    public float groundDrag;

    [Header("GroundCheck")]
    public float playerHeight;
    public LayerMask whatIsGround;
    bool grounded;

    public Transform orientation;

    float horizontalInput;
    float verticalInput;

    Vector3 moveDirection;

    Rigidbody rb;

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

    private void Update()
    {
        grounded = Physics.Raycast(transform.position, Vector3.down, playerHeight * 0.5f + 0.2f, whatIsGround);

        MyInput();
        SpeedControl();

        if (grounded)
        {
            rb.linearDamping = groundDrag;
        }

        else
        {
            rb.linearDamping = 0;
        }
    }

    private void FixedUpdate()
    {
        MovePlayer();
    }

    private void MyInput()
    {
        horizontalInput = Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal");
        verticalInput = Input.GetAxisRaw("Vertical");
    }

    private void MovePlayer()
    {
        moveDirection = orientation.forward * verticalInput + orientation.right * horizontalInput;

        rb.AddForce(moveDirection.normalized * moveSpeed * 10f, ForceMode.Force);
    }

    private void SpeedControl()
    {
        Vector3 flatVel = new Vector3(rb.linearVelocity.x, 0f, rb.linearVelocity.z);

        if(flatVel.magnitude > moveSpeed)
        {
            Vector3 limitedVel = flatVel.normalized * moveSpeed;
            rb.linearVelocity = new Vector3(limitedVel.x, rb.linearVelocity.y, limitedVel.z);
        }
    }

}

i have speed at 5, and drag at 10.

[naive pawn]

Unity.Cinemachine, apparently

[naive pawn]

what's with the moveSpeed * 10f?

have you tried increasing the drag?

[last radish]

not exactly sure as i just followed a tutorial

[naive pawn]

you're using forces, so that's going to have some amount of slide

sounds like they did that just to avoid an extra acceleration variable lol

[last radish]

okay so essentially find some sweetspot of the drag value where you can move but dont slip and slide at all?

[naive pawn]

it's not an issue, just weird to me

[last radish]

is it possible to completely remove slide? like to the point where its completely unnoticable?

[naive pawn]

if you want an immediate stop, you could just hardcode that in

[last radish]

so like in update() i could add in an if statement that checks whether a key is pressed or not and just put velocity to 0?

or how?

[naive pawn]

something like that, might want to separate the axes

[last radish]

yh ill try

[naive pawn]

quick question though; do you want the acceleration? there is an alternative approach that gives direct control

[last radish]

i think direct control would be better

[naive pawn]

you can set the linearVelocity directly to the axes (multiplied by the speed of course)

[last radish]

how?

[naive pawn]

similar to how you did in SpeedControl

rb.linearVelocity = new Vector3(speed * horizontalInput * orientation.right, ....)

actually you'd need to normalize that

or rather clamp the magnitude

one sec

[elder raptor]

Thank you!

[naive pawn]

moveDirection = Vector3.ClampMagnitude(orientation.forward * verticalInput + orientation.right * horizontalInput, 1);
rb.linearVelocity = new Vector3(moveDirection.x * moveSpeed, rb.linearVelocity.y, moveDirection.z * moveSpeed);
```does this make sense to you?
you can move stuff around of course

[last radish]

yeah i think so

[naive pawn]

you could do like, new Vector3(horizontalInput, 0, verticalInput) * orientation.forward * moveSpeed for example

[last radish]

this is exactly what i was looking for thanks

it works really well

and i understand it

thank you so much

i have another question though, when im moving around there is some camerabobbing happening, and i have no clue why

this may be due to the map or something but idk

if you want i can do a screenrecording

[thorn holly]

Sure

[last radish]

how do i send a video if its above 10mb

compressing it made it bigger for some reason

[naive pawn]

lmao

trim it down to a section that shows what you want it to show

[last radish]

thats been done

its 6 seconds long

[eternal needle]

Windows trim sometime makes the file size larger. Use a site to compress it

[last radish]

im on mac but yeah ill try that

[eternal needle]

A 6 second vid shouldnt also be that large of a file size, you can probably adjust the recording output. At least I know u can in OBS

[verbal dome]

Projecting the mouse delta onto a camera-aligned axis doesn't really make sense.
I would probably do this all with screen space coordinates

Think about it. In the "Z" mode, you are projecting a mouse coordinate onto the camera's forward (or back) axis. Those are completely perpendicular, doesn't make sense

[last radish]

yeah i havent downloaded obs yet so i just used native mac screenrecording

[verbal dome]

Converting the world X/Y/Z axis to screen space and then doing the dot checks in screen space is probably easier
I recently did a similiar thing for a 3D editor tool

[naive pawn]

did you record the entire screen or just the game view?

[last radish]

well i made the entire screen the game view so

bear with im compressing it

Ignore the hand i havent made the character rotate with the camera yet
