[frigid sequoia]

??? I only place the if and the code afterwards in the same lane if they are both just one lane long

That's pretty alright to me

I just wanted to know how much of a common practice that is

[eternal needle]

yes thats exactly what i said with "forcing the entire if statement on 1 line"

[frigid sequoia]

I don't find a need to enumerate what happens if X if it's only gonna be one thing

[eternal needle]

🤷‍♂️ i mean i cant force you to change it, im just telling you that its simply not readable to people who follow standard c# style

[versed light]

when using ExecuteAlways how do you skip code if in prefab mode?

[sour fulcrum]

though if you are going to keep it as a bool, you mayaswell do
defense = isMagicDamage ? target.entityStats.magicResist : target.entityStats.armor;

[teal viper]

What makes you think it's not modifiable? It mentions that you can change it at runtime even in the docs:
https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.0/Documentation/ScriptReference/RenderSettings-skybox.html

[hot harbor]

Is using state machines for weapons (i.e. attack state, reload, etc) overkill?

[sour fulcrum]

Yes but this i believe only gets & sets you the latest non-additive scenes skybox

[teal viper]

It should probably get you the active scene settings. The one that are actually applied. So if you want to change it, you need to change the active scene.

[sour fulcrum]

that makes sense

i wish it were true

[teal viper]

Test it🤷‍♂️

[sour fulcrum]

i have

[versed light]

hm tried this:

if (PrefabStageUtility.GetCurrentPrefabStage() != null && PrefabUtility.GetPrefabInstanceStatus(gameObject) == PrefabInstanceStatus.Connected)
                return;
``` yet the code doesn't return when looking at the prefab in prefab mode

cant figure out what function to use

[frigid sequoia]

Yeah, I just find these way less readable for me

Although I do understand it and it's more organized

[teal viper]

And?

[sour fulcrum]

this seems to be the result

[teal viper]

Did you actually change the active scene? And how?

[sour fulcrum]

SceneManager.SetActiveScene() and i logged the active scene via SceneManager.GetActiveScene() right before getting and setting the rendersettings skybox

have to dip for abit before i can mess with this more unfortunately

[teal viper]

Okay then.

[sour fulcrum]

(i did mention i tested this earlier though, I know i've been told off for unintentionally hiding context in the past :P)

[teal viper]

Missed that message as I had to scroll through a lot of messages. My bad.

[rugged beacon]

without adding 0.5 in the Instantiate position, is there a way to make it place object at the center of cell rather than its bottom left ?

[teal viper]

Just to make it clear, you called DynamicGI.UpdateEnvironment as they mention in the docs after setting the skybox? Waiting a frame or two might be required too(I'm not sure).

[frigid sequoia]

So what would be more optimal, to add an interface to differenciate between positive and negative status effects or have a variable on the status effects that tells if it's a good one or a bad one?

I want to get lists from other scripts of both by GetComponents<>() so I can remove them when needed

[slender sundial]

could someone teach me how to make this lock that only opens when you click down on it for a certain amount of time

I have the design and animation from blender but after that I'm fresh out of luck

[frigid sequoia]

Use an animation event at the end of the action

[slender sundial]

im trying but so far the animator controller and script arent agreeing with me

let me send you screenshots

[frigid sequoia]

If u just have a single animation you don't really need an animation controller

[slender sundial]

this is what my code looks like for the trigger

[slender sundial]

so how do I make it trigger then?

I have more of a complicated trigger

You have to click on and hold the shackle of my lock for like 2 seconds before it unlocks

[frigid sequoia]

Add an animation, code it so it only plays while u have the click pressed, if you release, restart and stop it. At the end of the animation add an event that does whatever u want to happen when it opens

[slender sundial]

should i name the animation for my shackle opening or is there a choice for that?

I'm completely new to unity coding

why do you think im here

[frigid sequoia]

You can name it whatever you see fit

[slender sundial]

mk

[frigid sequoia]

Just like u would name any other folder or file

Just make sure you know what it is

[slender sundial]

alright hold on

i put in the code and attached it to my shackle but it still plays the animation automatically

ive looked at websites to see what I did wrong and tried to fix stuff

But it just didn't work

@frigid sequoia

[frigid sequoia]

Have u checked that out?

[frigid sequoia]

And u don't need a holdTime variable

If u attach an animation to an object with one or more scripts, any public method of any of the scripts can be called by the animation itself

Place that at the end of your timelime, and call the event u want from the inspector

[frigid sequoia]

And why are u even checking for an animator at the end when I told u don't need it?

[slender sundial]

fair point

[slender sundial]

gonna tweak out

I thought I had a good code but it just didn't work

double checked and everything

[frigid sequoia]

Do something like this....

[slender sundial]

alright ty

[nimble apex]

this is a piece of native java code from android studio that obtain data from NFC and store them in a specific class

Parcelable[] elements = getIntent().getParcelableArrayExtra(NfcAdapter.EXTRA_NDEF_MESSAGES);
NdefMessage msg = (NdefMessage) elements[0];
NdefRecord record = msg.getRecords()[0];

byte[] payload = record.getPayload();```

how to rewrite the code above using androidjavaobject?
```cs
AndroidJavaObject allMessage = intent.Call<AndroidJavaObject>("getParcelableExtra", "android.nfc.extra.TAG");

                if (allMessage == null)
                {
                    nfcContent.text = "nfc data cannot be obtained!";
                    tagFound = true;
                    return;
                }

nfcContent.text = Convert.ToBase64String(allMessage.Call<byte[]>("getId"));```

this is C# in unity btw

[teal viper]

You need to write your own wrapper in java I think.

That you will be calling from C#.

[flat holly]

i copy tutorial for player scripts, and i dont understand how it works at all
like you didnt define anything and change its position/rotation like doing it in lua

i dont get it how do i do those at all 😭

c# concept is confusing me

i want a clean explain but non tutorial do it well

[wintry quarry]

Wdym by "you didn't define anything"?

Also Time.deltaTime shouldn't be used there for mouse input

It's going to make things jittery

[flat holly]

like i do

local apple = game.workspace.apple

but in c# scripts i dont see anything

[wintry quarry]

You do that in the inspector in this example

[flat holly]

do i just like do public parameter

[wintry quarry]

Lines 5 6 and 7

Your variables are defined there

[rich ice]

public, but usually [SerializeField] private

[flat holly]

saw some tutorial say that you can change parameter in inspector but its "private"?

[wintry quarry]

Yes you assign values in the inspector

As you did here

What part of that is confusing you?

[rich ice]

private variables wont show up in the inspector unless you put the [SerializeField] attribute before or above the variable.

[flat holly]

2-3 scripts all like they change rotation of camera
and i dont understand how they just change the x/y rotation they defined without "apply"? to the camera

or i just missed it somewhere

[wintry quarry]

Lines 25 and 26 of the script you shared are rotating the player object and the camera object

Not sure what "apply" means in your statement exactly

[flat holly]

what about line 25

where that "transform" come from

[wintry quarry]

It's part of the MonoBehaviour class your class derives from

[flat holly]

i see

[wintry quarry]

It means "the Transform component of the GameObject this script is attached to"

So you don't need to assign that, because it has a well defined meaning already

[flat holly]

i get their basic properties from object i attached to

is it

[wintry quarry]

It is this. Nothing more nothing less.

[flat holly]

yeah

im gonna keep watching tutorials

cool

thanks for help mate

[nimble apex]

damn i call the wrong function

no wonder it mismatched

[worthy olive]

does anyone have experience with coding quake movement, mainly air strafing?

I watched vids of how it works and everything and I also found this really good study

https://www.theseus.fi/bitstream/handle/10024/507593/Peltola_Mikko.pdf?sequence=2&isAllowed=y

but I cannot seem to get it working in my code and there isnt like a tutorial on how to do this.

[dusk prism]

so I tried to make some platforms that move and move together with it and not slide, do you have any idea if it doesn't work

[teal viper]

Why not?
Did you debug your code?

[worthy olive]

uhm, it works kinda. and because i do not understand the code fully fully i dont really know how should i debug it.

the air strafing kinda works with really big angles, like 90

[teal viper]

Then start from understanding how it works.

[worthy olive]

yea, i am doing that

[teal viper]

If the play has dynamic rb, it would not follow the parent, as it's controlled by physics.

[flat holly]

huh, RigidBody.Drag dosent work anymore? it shows like this
rb.drag

linearDamping?

[red cedar]

Hello, I'm working on my project to bundle scene (level 1 and level 2) using asset bundle. When load scene 1 and 2 seems fine and work, but when I reopen scene 1 it gave me this error

The AssetBundle 'Memory' can't be loaded because another AssetBundle with the same files is already loaded.

does anyone know how to resolve it?

[rich ice]

it got renamed in unity 6

[flat holly]

seems unity 6 is a big update they rename alot things

I previously tried this but apparently you can only use this on static functions

I'll look up the documentation again

[teal viper]

No. You can't use it on static methods. Do your research

[kindred iron]

guys why cant i use transform without using it in a function
when i use transform not inside of a function then i cant why?

[keen dew]

apart from because that's how C# works, also because it doesn't exist yet at that point

[rich ice]

wdym? can you show an example?

[kindred iron]

why does it exist when i use it in a fuction

[kindred iron]

ok ima write hold on

[keen dew]

Because any functions run after it has been created

[kindred iron]

oh ok

tysm <3

[wintry quarry]

You generally can't write any code outside of a function at all.

The only exception is field initializers and those are limited to statics and constants.

[kindred iron]

GetComponent<T>() vs GetComponent("ComponentName")
whats the difference between, guys?

[wintry quarry]

the one on the left gives you compile time type safety

Use it

[kindred iron]

bro pls dont speak c2 lvl english

its not my motherlanguage

[wintry quarry]

You will get a compile error if you make a typo in the one on the left

this is a good thing

thje one on the right will not give you an error until you run the code

this is a bad thing

[kindred iron]

what is a compile error

[wintry quarry]

Also just FYI there is a third form, which takes a Type parameter

[wintry quarry]

😭

[kindred iron]

;(

[frosty hound]

When you save and you see that loading bar "applying the changes" you made in the script. That is compiling.

[wintry quarry]

it's an error the compiler gives you telling you that you have written code that is not valid.

[frosty hound]

And that is where it will stop and give you a red error in your console telling you there's a mistake.

[wintry quarry]

By the way you are omitting the third form of GetComponent from your question here, which takes a Type object as a parameter

the generic form (the one with <T>) actually calls that one inside it

[kindred iron]

is that the only difference between them?

[wintry quarry]

no, the string one is also slower

[kindred iron]

hm why?

[wintry quarry]

because it needs to figure out what type you're talking about from the string

[kindred iron]

what happens if there is 2 types who named the same

[wintry quarry]

probably an error of some kind

why don't you try it out and let us know

[kindred iron]

guys is there any fast way to move to the next letter instead of using end and using mouse

[frosty hound]

Next letter of what?

[kindred iron]

of the line

or word

[wintry quarry]

Maybe you should look into learning VIM bindings for your IDE of choice

It's full keyboard navigation

[kindred iron]

ty sir

[cosmic dagger]

Wouldn't pressing the right arrow (->) move to the next letter? I'd argue that's the fastest way unless I'm misunderstanding . . .

[queen adder]

rb.AddRelativeForce(punchType.forceDirection * punchType.forceMultiplier, ForceMode.Impulse);

How do you think I would make it to be in relative to my coordinate system (the camera's) instead of the Rb's cords.

And I cannot just use Vector3.Forward

[wintry quarry]

use regular AddForce and then for the direction use myCamera.transform.TransformDirection(forceDirection)

If you just want forward according to the camera then it's just cam.transform.forward

if it's not forward, then you use TransformDirection with the local direction

[queen adder]

Yes that works, thats smart, thank you.

[crystal bridge]

Hello Gang, I have objects as images that can drag and drop (from Code Monkey). Everything works, but since the objects are images and not sprite renders, they have the layer issues. I know layers can be sorted by how you list the objects in the hierarchy, but I want the object that the player grabs to 'take priority' and move in front of everything on screen for the duration of the drag. Any ideas? I'm not sure if this is something that needs to be coded or if their is adjustment to components (or maybe both).

[crystal bridge]

https://youtu.be/BGr-7GZJNXg?si=NjJCa2WuipAny78_

[queen adder]

Are your objects UI images?

[crystal bridge]

yes

[wintry quarry]

1. move it to another canvas that's in front while dragging
2. rearrange it in the hierarchy while dragging
3. draw the "dragging" version of the texture with Graphics.DrawTexture instead of an image

[queen adder]

Moving it to another canvas is def the easiest

[crystal bridge]

Ok, so I currently have my original UI canvas set-up as per Code Monkey. This Canvas is called "Canvas_Locker" and contains an image component of the backdrop art. This is layered as 'Behind' in the Canvas Component- Sorting Layer.

I created a second canvas labeled "Canvas_Priority_Drag" which has all the same settings as the other canvas except the Sorting Layer is set to 'Default' which is supposed to be in front of the 'Behind' layer.

Is this the correct set-up you mean?

[queen adder]

What is the current way to rename a project in unity? As in the project files and the name that shows up in unity hub? I already know how to make the build.exe a different name

[rich ice]

afaik, remove the project from unity hub, rename the root folder, re-add it to unity hub

[queen adder]

1. Go to the project folder.
2. Rename.
3. Add the renamed one in the Hub
4. You can also change the sln name to make everything consistent

[queen adder]

thanks

guys why hit.collider.tag == null doesnt work?

if (hit.collider.CompareTag("Door"))
{

    {
        if (Input.GetKeyDown(interact))
        {

            {
                doorAnimator.Play("DoorOpen");
                isOpened = true;
            }
            else
            {
                doorAnimator.Play("DoorClose");
                isOpened = false;
            }
        }
    }
}
else if (hit.collider == null || hit.collider.CompareTag("Untagged"))
{
    Debug.Log("Hallo nigga");
    Cursor.color = Color.white;
}

[wintry quarry]

wdym by "doesn't work"?

[kindred iron]

else if part doesnt work

[wintry quarry]

what about it doesn't work

[kindred iron]

even tho its hit.collider null

[wintry quarry]

what is it supposed to do?

[kindred iron]

else if part supposed to work when its hit.collider null but it doesnt

[wintry quarry]

if hit.collider is null you will be getting a NullReferenceException on the very first line of this code snippet

[naive pawn]

well you're trying to use hit.collider before you check if it's null

[wintry quarry]

YOu cannot ignore exceptions/errors you are getting

[kindred iron]

but it doesnt give me error and it works perfectly fine without checking it

[wintry quarry]

if you're not getting an error here then hit.collider is not null

or this code is not running at all

one of those two things

[kindred iron]

i used debug.log and when i do look at the air then there is no name

[kindred iron]

it does

[wintry quarry]

you used it where

show the code with the log

and show what printed

[kindred iron]

just nothing

[wintry quarry]

hit.collider will NEVER be null inside this if statement

 if (Physics.Raycast(CamTransform.position, CamTransform.forward, out hit, rayLength))```

Raycast returns true only if it actually hit something

if you want to do something when you don't hit anything you will need an else for this

if (Physics.Raycast(CamTransform.position, CamTransform.forward, out hit, rayLength)) {
  // hit something
}
else {
  // didn't hit anything
}```

in other words - as I said before - the code was not actually running at all

[kindred iron]

hm wait lemme try something it supposed to work

btw yeah it makes sense

[swift crag]

a useful pattern is...

if (!Physics.Raycast(...))
  return;

just give up and return early if it doesn't find anything

[kindred iron]

it worked ty my brothe

[inland cobalt]

Hey all, I'm trying to make it so that my projectile is fired to where the crosshair is looking, here's my code:

private void PointInCrosshairDirection()
{
    Transform cam = Camera.main.transform;
    RaycastHit[] hits = Physics.RaycastAll(cam.position, cam.forward, _rayTargetMask);

    foreach(RaycastHit hit in hits)
    {
        if(hit.collider.isTrigger || hit.distance < _minRayHitDistance) continue;
        
        transform.LookAt(hit.point);
        break;
    }
}```



This works when shooting at walls, but when i shoot at an enemy, for some reason it still aims at the wall behind it. Attached is the sphere collider for the enemy, and projectiles themselves can actaully collide with it, just not the raycast, which is why im so confused. Im 99% sure its not the layer mask as when removing it, it still ignored it, the minRayHitDistance is also set to 0, so that shouldn't be a problem either, anyone know what i'm doing wrong?

[wintry quarry]

show how you set up your layermask and what layer the enemy is on

also start using Debug.Log

to see:

• how many things your raycast hit
• which things your raycast hit

[inland cobalt]

I was using debug.log for testing, i just ommited it from the snippet as i figured it wasn't necessary and was only temporary

[wintry quarry]

Explaining what debugging steps you took and what the results were is extremely necessary

we're in the debugging phase

[inland cobalt]

just had debug logs before and after the if statement, when before if it went through any trigger zones it skipped them, and hit the wall after the room, otherwise it only logs the wall as expected. If there's an enemy between, it just gets ignored

[wintry quarry]

need more info here

is the enemy's collider ever getting in the expected place?
Is the collider directly on the root enemy object? (what does the hierarchy and full inspector of the enemy look like?)

[inland cobalt]

its not a child of any other game objects, everything is on a single object, and i have disabled the pathfinding so that it stays in one place to ensure it isnt anything to do with collision detection when moving. The enemy collider is where i'd expect it when the game is ran

[shrewd swift]

@burnt copper

[burnt copper]

hello !

[wintry quarry]

1. The collider is quite small
2. Just start with some basic debugging:

RaycastHit[] hits = Physics.RaycastAll(cam.position, cam.forward, _rayTargetMask);
foreach (RaycastHit hit in hits) Debug.Log($"Hit {hit.collider.name}");```
@inland cobalt

Debug.DrawRay may be useful as well

to make sure your ray is in the correct place

[inland cobalt]

ah doing a separate for each has actually found something, i am hitting the enemy, that just never showed up previously when i had the logs in the original loop which is curious

is the array always in the correct order of distance, or random?

[burnt copper]

Came onto the server on @shrewd swift 's counsel cause I've got an error that I don't quite understand in a program i'm using for a game.

in this script, Unity signals this error, and we don't understand what's wrong

[fleet venture]

How do i make my textmeshpro input field only allow numbers (floats)

[burnt copper]

and here's the error

[wintry quarry]

is there a good reason you're using RaycastAll here @inland cobalt ? Finding the nearest object is simple with a refular raycast

[rich adder]

so do you have that script ? IInteractable?

[inland cobalt]

that explains it then, im guessing ill have to push all colliders to a new list and then find the one with the shortest distance in that case, unless there's a better way? Thanks

[wintry quarry]

just a regular raycast

not raycastall

[polar acorn]

What is IInteractable?

[rich adder]

there is setting on the TMP componeont

[burnt copper]

yep it's above

[inland cobalt]

i have trigger zones in between that im using for my A* algorithm tracking the positions of enemies in rooms, so i did raycast all to filter out the trigger zones

[fleet venture]

ooooh its content type

thats really cool

[shrewd swift]

IInteractable is pubicly declared in a script containing a unrelated mono class

[polar acorn]

Show it

[burnt copper]

at least it's one of two scripts which are referenced by the error

[rich adder]

is the error only in unity?

[fleet venture]

i was searching for that but couldnt find it

but now i found it

[wintry quarry]

but don't we not care about those for this raycast?

[burnt copper]

yes it doesn't appear in VS

[inland cobalt]

no, i dont

[wintry quarry]

So this is a silly way

[shrewd swift]

yup, we restarted the editor but nothing changed

[wintry quarry]

Use either the layerMask or queryTriggerInteraction parameter to ignore them in your raycast call: https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.0/Documentation/ScriptReference/Physics.Raycast.html

[rich adder]

show how its declared IInteractable

[fleet venture]

changing it to email doesnt seem to do anything

do you think IInteractable should be in its own Interactable.cs file ?

i do but i also have an email

so i thought i would try that

but it doesnt seem to do anything

the password does work pretty well tho

[polar acorn]

IInteractable.cs yes, but also check if it is part of an assembly definition. Are these two scripts in the same folder?

[shrewd swift]

yes, same folder

[inland cobalt]

I see, i never realised that was possible, cheers

[rich adder]

and whats the issue with it ?

Put it in its own file, then Unity should be able to see it then

okay

[polar acorn]

Do you have a reference to the object or the component the dictionary is on

[maiden basin]

I have object.getComponent<component>

[polar acorn]

Is component the component with the dictionary you want to access

[maiden basin]

yes

[wintry quarry]

What's wrong with GetComponent

Are you calling it on the correct GameObject?

[polar acorn]

then just... access the dictionary

[cosmic dagger]

You need to put the name of the script as the type when using GetComponent . . .

[wintry quarry]

what does "doesn't work" mean

[polar acorn]

With .

[wintry quarry]

Basically:

• Show your code
• Explain what you want it to do
• Explain what is going wrong when you try

[rich adder]

hopefully it wasn't spelled .getComponent lol

Yes. Locker Canvas which has background is behind the default canvas with no image

[rich adder]

you're missing calling the actual method

()

[eternal needle]

you didnt call the method, as the error is teling you. add the () to the end
you should maybe take a look at c# basics first if you dont know how to call a method

[maiden basin]

oh

thanks

[crystal bridge]

Unless you mean the layering numbers

[rich adder]

no idea. I honestly didn't scroll through the whole problem lol

[wintry quarry]

There is no reasoin for you to do this bntw

Instead of:

    public GameObject input;
    public EntityData inputData;``` and using GetComponent. You should just delete the first one

[crystal bridge]

@rich adder This one if you wanted to see and my above reply has screenshots of the two canvases

[wintry quarry]

And assign inputData directly in the inspector @maiden basin

[maiden basin]

i need it for later use

[wintry quarry]

YOu can always do inputData.gameObject if you need the GameObject

but it's not likely you need it

you're making this overcomplicated

[maiden basin]

thanks

[rich adder]

what did you change to fix it? I missed the last part

wouldn't the easiest thing to be when you grab to do grabbedObj.transform.SetAsLastSibling();

[crystal bridge]

@rich adder This, but didn't add any coding if that's needed

under Void Update?

[rich adder]

no only when its grabbed

OnBeginDrag or something

[crystal bridge]

Ok so just one line, not a line for each object

[rich adder]

Don't you have an OnBeginDrag method already?

[crystal bridge]

I know grabbedObj isn't identified in code

[rich adder]

I mean logically You don't copy and paste random variables that are made up

apply it to the object itself

rectTransform probably

[crystal bridge]

yes it worked! You rock 🙂

[obtuse basin]

Hi, I get this issue where my character moves with the camera (x2)

[rich adder]

remove Time.deltaTime from mouse inputs

mouse delta is already the distance between each frame. Its frame rate independent

need to turn down the sensitivity after

[obtuse basin]

now hes fkn teleprtn around the whole map

cus my fps is just that big

[rich adder]

huh? teleporting how? this would not touch movement at all..

[obtuse basin]

bending time and space

ill just send my movement script

ho damn

1 sec

i found smomethng red, i have not seen this before

[faint osprey]

does disabling the whole gameobject trigger ondisable or just the disabling the script?

[kindred iron]

guys i made pixel looking render effect but not drag and drop script doesnt work why?

[rich adder]

both

[faint osprey]

cool thanks

    {
        Debug.Log("working");
        anim.Play("Mining");
    }```

would anyone know why the debug is calling multiple times but the animation is only playing once in the animator its just its own state theres no transitions connected to it

[polar acorn]

Pretty sure if it's already in that state, it's not going to start over

[faint osprey]

so then how do i make it play everytime i click

[polar acorn]

Try passing 0 as the normalizedTime parameter for the play function

[faint osprey]

thank you

and how do you check for holding down the mouse under the new input system

do i have to use something other than .performed

[rich adder]

Input.current.isPressed

[faint osprey]

where would i put that im doing it like this atm

playerInput.Player.Use.performed -= Handle_Use;

[rich adder]

if you're already using events then use events

going to polling is going backwards

[faint osprey]

so how would i do it with events

is it .started instead

[rich adder]

same thing performed

[faint osprey]

that only calls once tho when i click

[rich adder]

what action type set to?

[faint osprey]

button

thats probs why

i shod just set to value

then check for 1

that makes sense

[rich adder]

yea set value

[faint osprey]

cool thanks

[primal cliff]

Hi, I've got a piece of code which basically makes the canvas SetActive(false) on Start and it works fine, however when I load the scene in from another scene it appears and I can no longer toggle it on or off (you're supposed to be able to with a button), what could be causing it & what code do I need to show?

I've also tried putting it in awake

[obtuse basin]

Didn't work.

Here's my movement script.

[polar acorn]

Don't call .Move more than once per frame. Accumulate all the movement you want into a variable, then use the total movement as the parameter to Move

Actually, I don't even know what the problem is

[crystal bridge]

Hello again, I ran into a new problem. While the layer is working good, my Canvas Scaler for objects is having issues. When dragging objects, the image is still held, but 'escapes' the cursor. I remembered that I likely needed to change my object's canvas field within the script from the previous canvas to the new one, but it has not corrected the issue. I set the new canvases settings to the same as the previous one which didn't have this issue.

[obtuse basin]

omg i fixed it

no fuckin way

[rich adder]

what you mean bu escape? like its laggy ?

[crystal bridge]

Because the scaling is off, the item is being dragged, but the image moves at a faster rate. See 5:06 of video.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BGr-7GZJNXg&t=11s

[rich adder]

not sure if its correct or not but for me last time I did this I just set a bool in OnBeginDrag / OnEndDrag and use it to move it in Update() with regular.transform.position = mousePos

this makes me not worry about canvas scale, but seems to work ok

[hearty valley]

So I have this basic script that pretty much just takes the CameraHolder and makes it follow the cameraPos object thats inside the players head although when I start the game even though it does follow along it locks itself all the way up here instead of inside of the head where the cameraPos object is

public class MoveCamera : MonoBehaviour
{
    public Transform cameraPosition;

    private void Update()
    {
        transform.position = cameraPosition.position;
    }
}

[rich adder]

check pivot points

[hearty valley]

wdym?

[cosmic dagger]

Check the pivot point of the cameraPosition object. The transform.position is set to that object . . .

[crystal bridge]

This is what it looks like pre-changes. Is the "regular.transform.position=mousePos" after drag paragraph?

[rich adder]

bool isHeld;

void Update(){
if(isHeld == false) return;
  var mouseWorld = Camera.main.ScreenToWorldPoint(Input.mousePosition);
  mouseWorld.z = 0;
  transform.position = mouseWorld;
}```

[hearty valley]

everything looks fine to me

[rich adder]

thats cause you configure everything on Center mode of course it does

it wouldnt show you if something had an offset

[hearty valley]

ah I see

mb

[rich adder]

classic unity mistake

doesnt help that unity defaults it to center

[hearty valley]

how do I change it ?

[cosmic dagger]

Hello, I was here yesterday talking about my game crashing when I spawn multiple gameObjects at the same time I was assured that this is due to an infinite loop in my code but I cant for the life of me find where I am causing the loop, any help is greatly appreciated.

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

[polar acorn]

Are you spawning objects that spawn objects that spawn objects that spawn objects that--

[edgy prism]

I am pretty confident im not, there is only one instance of the spawn object that gets destroyed after the function runs

I should've probably added this too but this is how im triggering the spawning

public void OnTriggerEnter2D(Collider2D col)
    {
        PlayerController player = col.GetComponent<PlayerController>();

        if (player != null)
        {
            ApplyEffect(gameObject, player); // Call derived class logic
            SpawnPowerUpUI();

            gameObject.GetComponent<BoxCollider2D>().enabled = false;
            gameObject.GetComponent<SpriteRenderer>().enabled = false;
        }
    }

[polar acorn]

Is this spawning an object that might be already overlapping with the player, causing this to fire again and spawn another one, and so on?

[edgy prism]

Shouldn't be this is a type of "power up" that is spawning coin type objects

ok so i have this problem i think is simple to fix , right now im making a quake like fps game , and i made this plataform the player is supposed to move when the player presses E , as of now that part works , the problem is that when the player is standing on the plataform he wont move with it , it just slides throw his feet , can someone help me fix that

[polar acorn]

How are you handling the player movement?

Is it a rigidbody, character controller, something else?

[void dawn]

character controler

[polar acorn]

Then you're going to need to handle it manually. You'll need to move the player at the same speed as the platform

[pliant void]

Hello, I'm making an inventory using event trigers. But I can only select the item one time. When i clicked one time in the button, I can't press it again. Can you help me please

Here's how i do it :
I have a Selected() method wich I call from the button with Event Trigger.

Can you help me please

[slender nymph]

Note that being selected is not quite the same as a click because once a UI object is selected it can't be selected again until it has been deselected by selecting something else

[pliant void]

but isnt the Deselect function suposed to do that?

[polar acorn]

If you don't change what object is selected, neither will run again until you do

If you keep clicking the same object, it's going to remain selected, not get selected again

[pliant void]

but how am I supposed to do unselect it?

[polar acorn]

Do you want this code to run when you click on the object, or only when it becomes selected?

There should be an OnPointerDown if it's the former

[pliant void]

when it becomes

[slender nymph]

so then why are you worried that it isn't being selected again when you click it while it is already selected?

[polar acorn]

Okay, so then it's doing that already

[pliant void]

because I have 6 slots in my inventory and when I click to one then an other and whant to come back to the first, the function isnt called

[slender nymph]

ah so you just assumed we would read your mind and know that was the issue instead of what you actually said was the issue

[polar acorn]

Okay, that is a different problem. When you said it stopped working after the first you hadn't mentioned you clicked something else in between

[cosmic dagger]

Details, details, details . . .

[pliant void]

sorry i'm really bad at expriming myself 😅

[polar acorn]

Can you show the code for the Select and Deselect functions?

[pliant void]

public void Selected() {
            selected = true;
            Debug.Log(activeInventorySlotId);
            InventoryController.selectedItemId = Id;
        }

        public void Deselected() {
            Debug.Log("Deselected");
            selected = false; 
           InventoryController.selectedItemId = -1;
        }

[slender nymph]

how have you confirmed it isn't working

[polar acorn]

Okay, assuming InventoryController.selectedItemId is static, it's possible it's running select on the new object, then running deselect on the old object, so it's changing to the new ID then immediatly back to -1

[pliant void]

because the debug.Log only prints one time

[polar acorn]

You should check if InventoryController.selectedItemId is equal to Id, and if it is, then set it to -1

if it's not, don't change it

[slender nymph]

screenshot the entire console window when you test this

[pliant void]

okay

[slender nymph]

what was the last thing you clicked for that final deselected log? was it one of the other objects or was it none?

also you can look at the EventSystem in your scene, during runtime it will have a little preview window showing information about what it is doing

[pliant void]

it was the last case of the inventory

[slender nymph]

what do you mean by that

[pliant void]

where is it?

[slender nymph]

look in the hierarchy and find out?

[pliant void]

I clicked that one

[polar acorn]

Whatever object has the EventSystem component. Probably named EventSystem

[slender nymph]

this means absolutely nothing to me

[pliant void]

yup found it

[polar acorn]

That's what you're clicking, but checking the status window of the Event System will show what unity thinks you're clicking

which might not be the same thing

[slender nymph]

but also if that is the one with the id of 5 then i asked what you clicked after that one to get the 6th Deselected log

[pliant void]

I don't understand what I'm supposed to see in the EventSystem

[slender nymph]

are you looking at its preview window during runtime

[pliant void]

I think I'm an asshole

[void dawn]

also i have another problem , for some reason the player wont trigger events that are set to trigger when touching , like ammo pick ups or lava damage , it cant be hard to fix this right ?

[pliant void]

It was working but the logs were stacking

sorry for the trouble and thanks

[slender nymph]

this is why i specifically asked you what you had clicked when you showed the logs. and also why i asked you to test it and show the logs

[pliant void]

I know it's not an excuse but I'm french and still doesnt know very well to understand english

[slender nymph]

https://unity.huh.how/physics-messages

[void dawn]

i tried making a log message appear when it was supposed to trigger , no message appeared so i guess nothing is being triggered , what do i do ?

[slender nymph]

go through the troubleshooting steps that page walks you through

[crystal bridge]

Ok, I've tried several things to get a different drag/drop to happen. Please note this is separate from previous issues as this is a different script for something else.

In this case, I am trying to get image A (bottle laying) to start on the scene. When you click on it to drag, I want it to change to image B (bottle standing). It should be dragged around as image B until destroyed OR if the player lets go before it being destroyed, the objects spawns back to the origin as image A. I tried recording here both images present at the start (not good) and then they flip between the two with each click. No dragging happens, but the sound effect for grabbing does play.

[stray thorn]

guys how do i use ml agents i thought theyre built in it somewhy highlights it in red

[slender nymph]

#1202574086115557446
and make sure you have the relevant package installed

[hexed terrace]

add the package, probably

[stray thorn]

from where

[slender nymph]

the package manager . . .
surely if you are trying to do machine learning in unity you've actually used unity before, right?

[stray thorn]

hey big guy lets not use fonts alr

ofc ik how to install packages but look when i put the git link it does this

[hexed terrace]

you mean formatting?

[slender nymph]

that is not even the mlagents package

[stray thorn]

im aware

[polar acorn]

So what's it got to do with the current issue

[stray thorn]

idk why it takes me there when i click this and put the git link

[polar acorn]

What git link are you using

[slender nymph]

and also what documentation did you read that said to add it via git url and not add it by name?

[swift crag]

probably because AI Navigation is the first package in the list

an error is happening, and then it's defaulting to selecting the first package in the list

[flat holly]

use Time.timescale can easily slow/accelerate time?

[sour fulcrum]

Is there an accessor that let's you like re-define the accessor for later on inheritance?

eg. NGO has this notable function that's public override

public abstract class ContentBehaviour : NetworkBehaviour
{
    public override void OnNetworkSpawn()
    {

    }
}

but i'd like to prevent things inheriting from ContentBehaviour from overriding it

[wintry quarry]

Use sealed to prevent further overriding.

It's not an access modifier though

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/language-reference/keywords/sealed

[sour fulcrum]

ah I'm misusing that term? heard. tyvm

[wintry quarry]

You're thinking of access modifiers which is a subset of modifiers, but there are other modifiers that aren't access modifiers such as sealed, static, extern etc

[frigid sequoia]

Ok, so wtf, I was touching how some skills are states are handled on a script that should not impact anything else and now, my sprites are deciding on their own that they want to rotate on random directions

It stats on 0,0,0 rotation. As soon as I make the scripts run, it's flipped to this, making it totally invisible as a 2D sprite

The thins is, I was assuming it was the NavMesh what was doing it, but nope, it's this one script the only one that when dissabling it makes it not do that (this does interact with the agent, but the agent is active and basically with the same configuration as it would be without that script dissabled)

The thing is, these scripts are EXACTLY THE SAME AND REUSED over like 5 other objects that do not do that

[wintry quarry]

The data is different

Even if the code is the same

[frigid sequoia]

But if do copy those, the ones that work fine, they are suddenly, also turning

And I don't know why

[teal viper]

Debug it.

[frigid sequoia]

Debug what? Like... I don't think I get any useful data from anywhere on the code

Like that should not be doing that, just straight up

[fierce shuttle]

For things that are frame independent, yes changing TimeScale can affect their rate of execution: https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.0/Documentation/ScriptReference/Time-timeScale.html

[teal viper]

Start from sharing the code

[frigid sequoia]

https://pastecode.io/s/svms9wtw

That should just be setting the stopping distance, and none of the interactions of that should have changed since I last touched it

It was working before

[teal viper]

So, does the issue happen when you set the stopping distance? Can you confirm that but commenting it out?

[frigid sequoia]

I mean.... it's they only thing there that could even become close to rotating the sprite on that script, it shouldn't but....

Let me check

Well, yeah, that is causing the flip

HOW??????

[wintry quarry]

The obvious place to start would be any code that is rotating the object

[frigid sequoia]

Not a single thing does, the only thing that could is the NavMesh and NavMeshAgent that do so automatically

Could that be a thing that happens if the distance is like 0 or negative or something?

Cause it shouldn't be the case either

But Idk

[wintry quarry]

Then the data you're feeding into the nav mesh agent is the problem.

But Navmesh is for 3D

So how are you using it in 2d

[teal viper]

Here's a question: did you actually confirm that the navmesh is working as expected at all in your setup?

[frigid sequoia]

I am using a 2D NavMesh, yeah

I checked for a way to use it on 2D and downloaded some libraries

It has been working perfectly for like... a month?

[teal viper]

Share the NqvmeehTargetSetter script then

Does this navmesh 2d asset has a way to define the plane axes?

[frigid sequoia]

I think that basically all that it does it rotate the axis of the Mesh so it just proyects over a 2D plane of your choice

And it has a button to basically adjust the rotation of the axis automatically

And, yeah, I did that at the very start and it was working fine

Haven't touched it since

https://pastecode.io/s/gfzxe3wj

I am assuming if anything this should be causing the issue?

But that has remain there untouched from the very start and worked so....

Idk

It should also be called by every instance of the script, so makes no sense some of them are not rotated

[teal viper]

Possibly, it was an issue from the very start, but because of execution order, this code was overriden somewhere else. Then the execution order changed for some reason, causing the issue to manifest.

[frigid sequoia]

Yeah, I thought so

But if it's by executiion order, it should happen kinda randomly isn't it?

[teal viper]

Not necessarily. Computers are mostly deterministic. But they're also very complex. If the ordering is not guaranteed, even something like adding a single line of code in an unrelated script or the ordering in the hierarchy at a specific point in time, could affect the order.

The issue is, that you don't know what could affect it and what couldn't.

Because it's too complex.

[frigid sequoia]

Well, the thing that I touched that make it appear is that I added the isDead status to characters, before that I just destroyed them

That made me so I have to alter some of the updates for logical, and add a bunch of virtual and override methods

But nothing that could alter the rotation of anything on itself

[teal viper]

I don't know how that 2d navmesh asset works, but the code you mentioned definitely looks sus. The best way to tell us to comment it out and test.

[teal viper]

It's probably the navmesh trying to align the object with it's axes.

Anyways, it's nearly impossible to tell what the issue is from here, without seeing all the relevant code and setup or knowing how the mentioned asset works.

[frigid sequoia]

Yeah, which is weird, cause the generalBehaviour calls the NavMeshTargetSetter, enabling the Agent and triggering the issue

But activating the Agent manually with those same parameters does not cause any

[teal viper]

Then there must be something you're missing. Humans are bad at noticing things that could be changing on a frame basis.

That's where debugging comes in. If you have a suspect property or methods, just log when they are changing or being called to see if they are working as expected.

[frigid sequoia]

Commenting that out makes it not flip, so I dunno

[teal viper]

And if you're sure the issue is caused by the navmesh, it would be a good idea to look through it's code(if it's available) to see where exactly it could be rotating the object.

[frigid sequoia]

Probably is not the issue and it's just changing exeuction order somehow

Cause that should not do that

[teal viper]

Well, enabling/disabling an agent is a huge complex thing that could change many things. I'd start with checking what value(true/false) causes the issue to happen. Then look through all the references to that property/variable to see if any of it is related to rotating the object.

If it's a property, it might have some logic of its own, so don't forget to look at it as well.

This is all assuming that the asset is open source

[frigid sequoia]

Should be

[broken nest]

Hey, I'm struggling to initialize an array, I'm doing this which gets me an NRE

    public int seed;
    Node[,] mapNodes;

    void Start()
    {
        CreateNodes();
    }

    public void CreateNodes()
    {
        mapNodes = new Node[5, mapLength];
        mapNodes[0, 0].nodeType = NodeType.Fight;```

{
    public NodeType nodeType;
    public int eventNumber;
    public string[] monsterNames;
}```

[wintry quarry]

you didn't initialize the Node inside the array

mapNodes = new Node[5, mapLength]; creates an array filled with null entries

[wanton epoch]

Could use someones help on why I am not able to change my sensitivity with the sliders:

3 scripts:
PlayerCam
SpawnPlayers
SettingsMenu
https://paste.mod.gg/ikvsquexeotn/2

I get NullReference errors when trying to assign the values of my player cams sensivity to the sliders.

[wintry quarry]

before you can do:

mapNodes[0, 0].nodeType = NodeType.Fight;```
You would have to do:
```cs
mapNodes[0, 0] = new Node();```

[wintry quarry]

those errors ar3 pointing to SettingsMenu.cs lines 112 and 128

you would have to look there

the script you linked doesn't seem relevant

always read the error message to see in which file and which line number it's on

[wanton epoch]

Im not sure what could be wrong

[wintry quarry]

oh i see all 3 are in the link

[wanton epoch]

ye lol

[wintry quarry]

line 112 is if (photonView.IsMine)

if you got an NRE there that can only mean photonView is null

[wanton epoch]

hmm ill try to see what could be the cause

brb

[wintry quarry]

You are trying to assign it on line 25 I see, in Start, with GetComponent

so either:

• Start hasn't run yet
  or
• There is no PhotonView component attached to the same GameObject as this script

[wanton epoch]

im gonna guess the latter

[wintry quarry]

Well don't guess - check 😛

also it's possible start hasn't run yet if this object or script has not yet been enabled at any point

[wanton epoch]

would I put the photon view on the panel and the gameobject or just the on the gameobject with the script only?

[wintry quarry]

I don't have the context to understand what "the panel" is in this situation but:

photonView = GetComponent<PhotonView>();```
This code will only work properly if the PV is on the same GameObject as the SettingsMenu script

[wanton epoch]

Just tried it and the error is still present

[broken nest]

Thanks works like a charm

[wanton epoch]

it had to be the panel

thanks for the suggestions that led me to the fix

[wintry quarry]

you could also do this:

mapNodes[0,0] = new Node {
  nodeType = NodeType.Fight
};```
This is called an object initializer

See here for more info https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/programming-guide/classes-and-structs/object-and-collection-initializers

[broken nest]

Good to know thanks

[wintry quarry]

Another thing to note is that if Node was a struct instead of a class you would not need to do this.

that doesn't necessarily mean struct makes more sense here or not, just a thing to note.

[obtuse ether]

hi, im in the middle of learning to code a simple platformer and im trying to make a check on whether you're colliding w the ground

and can someone tell me why its fine with ontriggerstay but not oncollisionstay

and how i could prolly fix it

[vagrant mist]

I use a RaycastHit2D array and cast it downward to see if its colliding with the ground below

are you open to using it?

[obtuse ether]

i mean im willing to learn how anything works tbh lol

as long as i can understand it itll prolly be fine

[north kiln]

Because Collider2D isn't the same as Collision2D, they are different types

[obtuse ether]

oop i didnt notice that

[north kiln]

Get the gameObject or collider from the Collision2D and compare its tag

[rocky canyon]

facts^.. you'll just need to dig a bit to get to the gameobject

[vagrant mist]

well it seems I learned something about another way to check for the ground

[obtuse ether]

tried changing to collider2d but u just said this so i gotta figure out how to get the gamobject

[north kiln]

You can't just change the type

[rocky canyon]

.gameObject

[north kiln]

because the types are required to be different for each of the messages

[obtuse ether]

yeah lol

[obtuse ether]

like this?

[rocky canyon]

i dont see nay errors

thats a good sign

i prefer to set bools on in Enter and off in Exit tho

but that shuld work..

[obtuse ether]

alr ill test it out

praying to unity lmao

[vagrant mist]

just curious, but is there a reason (other than still learning because I still am), that you would use this method instead of Raycasting?

[rocky canyon]

Triggers?

i use them like "areas" door ways, pressure switches, volumes etc

or things like projectiles (so they can continue through)

[obtuse ether]

well it does change CanJump to true

[rocky canyon]

but i Prefer Raycasting over all methods

[obtuse ether]

it just never sets it back to false

so i might just use on enter and exit

lmao

wanted to try it out but a

[rocky canyon]

b/c the else never runs

think about it..

[obtuse ether]

yeah

[rocky canyon]

when ur not grounded ur not colliding

[vagrant mist]

I'm still learning myself, but my isGrounded check is done with raycasting so I was curious

[rocky canyon]

so.. thats why i said earlier it'd probably be better to have Enter() and Exit()

[obtuse ether]

yeah switching to enter and exit

alr it works now

[rocky canyon]

it may be fine for you.. may need more raycasts later on for better detection.. or swap to something else..

[vagrant mist]

I do have an issue myself if I may ask

[rocky canyon]

wats that?

https://github.com/Jan-Ott/CharacterMovementFundamentals
this guy is giving away this one now..
it can be switched thru 3 different ones raycast, raycast array, or a spherecast

[obtuse ether]

another issue lets go, how do i check if the bool is true, and then if one of the jump keys is used

should i just split them into 2 if statements

or is there some other weird way to do it lmao

[slender nymph]

()

[vagrant mist]

and yes, I have not activated my windows yet

[slender nymph]

not a code question. but you can change the physics shape of a tile by using the sprite editor

[rocky canyon]

thats #💻┃unity-talk or #🖼️┃2d-tools stuff i think

[obtuse ether]

decided to just split into 2 if statements

[rocky canyon]

thats how i was gonna suggest anyway

[obtuse ether]

ye lol

[rocky canyon]

if(!CanJump) return;
Player.AddForce
CanJump = false;```

[obtuse ether]

What does this do

[rocky canyon]

exact same thing urs does

its called an early return..

[obtuse ether]

Oo alr

[rocky canyon]

if the bool is false it skips the rest

[nimble apex]

just curious , do we have class level of this preprocessor command

#if OS1 && OS2
#endif```?

like [executeineditmode]

i have a script that must be used on built android app only, because it search native content that only exists on android OS (activity/intent)

[teal viper]

Not by default. These 2 are basically different things entirely. #if is a preprocessor directive that is evaluated before the code is compiled. [ExecuteInEditMode] is an attribute that is used by unity's reflection system, possibly at runtime too.
They are not the same.
Also, you can use preprocessor directives anywhere in the code, so is there any issue with using it?

[nimble apex]

currently dont have problem, because i have isolated all the code that is working only on android

thx just asking if theres better solution

👍

[teal viper]

You could write a custom attribute for that purpose, but you'll also need to modify the build pipeline to make use of it and not include the specific scripts in a build

[nimble apex]

public class NFCcore : MonoBehaviour
{
    [SerializeField] private TMP_Text NFCdisplay;

    [SerializeField] private Button normalMode;
    [SerializeField] private Button dispatchMode;
    [SerializeField] private Button batchReadMode;

    private bool isNFCread = true;

#if UNITY_ANDROID && !UNITY_EDITOR
func1();
func2();
......
#endif
}```

i just gonna do this instead

[hot harbor]

Is there a way to assign an event Action<Type> to a variable with the same type?

bool someVar;

public event Action<bool> someAction;
OnEnable() {
  someVar => someAction; // not sure if there's a notation for this, so I used lambda notation sort of...
}

[teal viper]

Wdym by assign? What's the intention?

[hot harbor]

Right, the intention is to have someVar's value be whatever the parameter is when the event is raised

previously I did

public bool someVar;
public Action<bool> boolAction;
processEvent(bool b) {
  this.someVar = b;
}

OnEnable() {
  boolAction += processEvent
}

Adding a variable as an event listener? Not sure this is the right term

[teal viper]

Still not sure what you're trying to do. A bool and an action are 2 completely unrelated types, so you can't assign an action to bool variable

[teal viper]

If you can only subscribe a method to an action/event. In that method you can do with your variable whatever you want.

[hot harbor]

My bad I'll try to rephrase, I want someVar's value to be assigned by whoever's invoking the "boolAction" event, and I was wondering if there was a way to avoid writing another function "processEvent" to be the middleman

[teal viper]

Can't you assign that variable from wherever you invoke the event?

[charred spoke]

You want a way to check what is the current scene ?

Or rather what is the current active scene ? Or if a specific gameObject is part of a certain scene ?

Hello, I'm working on a Unity project where I have two asset bundles containing different scenes. When I click the level 1 button, it should load the asset bundle scene for level 1, and so on for level 2. But when I go back to the main menu and reopen level 1, it gives me an error message: The AssetBundle 'Memory' can't be loaded because another AssetBundle with the same files is already loaded. Does anyone know how to resolve it?

 IEnumerator LoadSceneFromBundle(string bundleUrl, string sceneName)
    {
        using (WWW web = new WWW(bundleUrl))
        {
            if (remoteAssetBundle != null)
            {
                remoteAssetBundle.Unload(false);
            }
            yield return web;

            if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(web.error))
            {

[rare basin]

hi, how to change the Intensity of a HDR Color in code?

[ripe shard]

Intensity is simply a multiplier applied to the color values. Just change those in code directly. HDR colors are composed of floats outside the 0 - 1 range.

[rare basin]

turned out it's just 4th value of the Color

(r,g,b,intensity)

as there is no alpha

On what button on the keyboard is the Cancel command automatically assigned to by this module?

The Unity API isn't very helpfull in the regard and I am, not sure how to create a log to test for which button it is.

I have this code in StartBattleSpawns.cs and i want to have multiple enemies or players in a scene (for example currently there is only 1 enemy and 1 player) How should i go about making this since i cant really put instancedObj1 and playerUnit = InstancedObj1 .GetComponent<Unit>(); in a class```csharp
public class StartBattleSpawns : StartBattleState
{
public static Unit playerUnit;
public static Unit enemyUnit;
private int hp;

void SetupBattle(BattleStateManager battle)
{
    GameObject instancedObj1 = GameObject.Instantiate(battle.playerPrefab, battle.playerBattleStation.position, Quaternion.identity) as GameObject;
    playerUnit = instancedObj1.GetComponent<Unit>();
    
    GameObject instancedObj2 = GameObject.Instantiate(battle.enemyPrefab, battle.enemyBattleStation.position, Quaternion.identity) as GameObject;
    enemyUnit = instancedObj2.GetComponent<Unit>();


    battle.playerName.text = playerUnit.unitName;
    battle.playerLevel.text = playerUnit.unitLevel.ToString();
    battle.playerMp.text = playerUnit.currentMp.ToString();
    battle.playerHp.text = playerUnit.currentHp.ToString();
    battle.enemyName.text = enemyUnit.unitName;
    battle.enemyLevel.text = enemyUnit.unitLevel.ToString();
    battle.enemyMp.text = enemyUnit.currentMp.ToString();
    battle.enemyHp.text = enemyUnit.currentHp.ToString();
    battle.hpSlider1.maxValue = playerUnit.maxHp;
    battle.hpSlider1.value = playerUnit.currentHp;
    battle.hpSlider2.maxValue = enemyUnit.maxHp;
    battle.hpSlider2.value = enemyUnit.currentHp;
    
    battle.mpSlider1.maxValue = playerUnit.maxMp;
    battle.mpSlider1.value = playerUnit.currentMp;
    battle.mpSlider2.maxValue = enemyUnit.maxMp;
    battle.mpSlider2.value = enemyUnit.currentMp;
    
    battle.SwitchState(battle.playerMoveState);
}

}```

The ui will be updated based on what enemy i have selected

the issue occured only after importing Google Ad services

[sand swift]

I can't understand what's going on, does it have to do with the raycast being in a MonoBehavior and not being part of the DOTS world? Still, why do the Colliders stay in position even when we see the rigid bodies colliding correctly? https://youtu.be/nOh_l4pQSGI

[late burrow]

i would just use blockcopy but this certain use case i cant

[eternal needle]

use an array or list of your objects

[robust harness]

how is an array or a list any different from a class? just asking

[eternal needle]

you can store any amount of your objects in an array or list. like a
List<Unit> myUnits;
each element in your list would be one unit in your game

you should realllllly consider going through c# basics if you havent heard of a list before

also for your code above,

        GameObject instancedObj1 = GameObject.Instantiate(battle.playerPrefab, battle.playerBattleStation.position, Quaternion.identity) as GameObject;
        playerUnit = instancedObj1.GetComponent<Unit>();

you can pass the component into Instantiate as the first parameter rather than a GameObject, and it will spawn the entire prefab for you but return the Unit. Changing battle.playerPrefab to be of type Unit rather than GameObject would simplify down to

playerUnit = Instantiate(battle.playerPrefab, battle.playerBattleStation.position, Quaternion.identity);

[ashen geode]

Hii, how do i assign NavMeshAgent component to a clone of sprite that i spawn using inistiate?
I mean the original sprite already have the component but i dont know why the clone doesnt have it too.. anyone could help?

[verbal dome]

If the original sprite (presumably a prefab) has an agent then the child will have it also

So make sure that you are instantiating the correct object

Yes ik i found some comments on the video with some possible fixes but i just dont understand them as it is my first time doing this.
Hoping that somebody can guide me or anything cause i just dont understand what the fixes mean.

[red igloo]

when I move and let go of the keys the player doesn't stop moving instantly there's a sort of delay how can I fix this?

Code: https://paste.ofcode.org/t4Da97VPnXvfG6ypivDeUx

https://streamable.com/cyx8jt

[slender nymph]

use GetAxisRaw instead of GetAxis. GetAxis applies input smoothing (that delay to stopping you are feeling)

oh and if you are using AddForce you'll still feel it take time to slow down because that's how forces work, other forces have to act on the body to make it stop (friction, drag, and collisions)

[red igloo]

Thanks for that, when I jump I don't jump high enough because I increased the drag is there a way to get around this?

[slender nymph]

use more force or reduce drag while jumping

[rare basin]

hi, how to change the Intensity of a HDR Color in code?

[wintry quarry]

make it brighter.

A really systematic way is to use https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.0/Documentation/ScriptReference/Color.RGBToHSV.html and https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.0/Documentation/ScriptReference/Color.HSVToRGB.html

basically - convert to HSV, increase the "value", then convert back to rgb

[rare basin]

so there is no way to access this Intensity slider in code?

how can you make something brighter than 255,255,255 im confused

[wintry quarry]

no because that intensity slider is basically just a multiplier on the values

[wintry quarry]

that's how HDR colors work

they can go beyond the normal 0-1 values of colors

[rare basin]

ah i see

so just convert my current color to hsc, increase it and convert back right

[wintry quarry]

yea

Do you have a ground check implemented?
Make sure to have the drag be low when youre not grounded, and higher when you are, so that you fly realistically and not like a feather.

Also, certain counter movement solutions dont require you to have high drag when youre on the ground

it keeps saying critical error

I have a drag/drop script where the bottle switches positions. Everything is working, but the standing position has an unexpected transformation. I tried incorporating transforming coding to fix it, but nothing is changing it.

[hexed terrace]

You're changing the size of it, don't do that

[crystal bridge]

How should I shift the bottle so it is standing and not squished?

[west garnet]

Why is this starting with the right canvas but when i press the buttons its not working? im honestly without ideas on how to fix it

[hexed terrace]

it's squished because you change the size (rt.sizeDelta) and it's not standing because it's rotated... rotate it to standing

i want to, when you press a certain button on a certain canvas it changes it but its not even going through the first one

[grand snow]

Do something like this @west garnet

int currentCanvas = 0;

public void RefreshCanvasStates()
{
  for(int i = 0; i < canvases.Count; i++)
  {
   canvases[i].enabled = i == currentCanvas;
  }

let me try,
also do u want to see the file?

i honestly just want to smash my head rn

[grand snow]

eh no need its probably done in a funny way

[polar acorn]

First thing's first - put some debug logs in there and make sure the functions are running at all

[west garnet]

what do you reccomend putting and where? sorry quite new in programming and this is a uni project

[polar acorn]

Put a debug log as the first line of the functions you're trying to run, and see if they're running at all

[hexed terrace]

2 things.. 1 unrelated to the issue.

Instead of .GetComponent(typeof(RectTransform)) as RectTransform; this is long, and no one does it this way, just do GetComponent<RectTransform>() (RectTransform can be replaced by any type (component) you want to get

secondly - remove these two lines of code and show what happens pls

[grand snow]

(RectTransform)transform is best

[hexed terrace]

it was more about how to do GetComponent best, rather than best way to get the rect..

[crystal bridge]

I removed the lines and nothing changes. Do you want to see whole script?

oh ok, ignore the bot

i put a debug log, andthe only one that gave me something, even when i pressed the buttons was the onenable that worked on the beginning

[crystal bridge]

I'm the bot? :0

[rocky canyon]

ouch, as a mobile user let me scroll around ur images for 30 minutes or so

[rocky canyon]

no the bot has alternatives to screenshots, like paste-bin websites

#💻┃code-beginner message this is bot

[grand snow]

why are you casting the array to ICollection wtf

[hexed terrace]

the bot..

[west garnet]

it was a suggestion, the code that u sent didnt work, honestly i had no idea on what it did

[hexed terrace]

What does the sprite used for imageB look like

[crystal bridge]

Gotcha, wanted to make sure that's what you meant XD

[grand snow]

That was my mistake. its .Length for arrays

[hexed terrace]

it's obvious what I meant 😄

.. unless you're completely new to using Discord, i guess

[hexed terrace]

anyway.. back to the issue... ☝️

[west garnet]

oh tyty
let me see if it works now

[grand snow]

Yea i just wrote it from memory i always mix em up 😆

[crystal bridge]

The laying bottle is A, standing is B

[west garnet]

nah dont stress men, you're helping me
cant complain

[crystal bridge]

Script is attached to the laying bottle object

[hexed terrace]

show the inspector for the image component that these sprites get assigned to - make sure to include the rect transform

[west garnet]

still doesnt work, it debugs the on enable but doesnt debug the rest, so ig is smth related to the on enable?

[grand snow]

If your scroll up/down functions then either +1 or -1 from the active canvas index value before you refresh them you will have it cycle through them all.
Make sure to wrap the value though if you do this.

if(currentCanvas >= canvases.Length) currentCanvas = 0;
else if(currentCanvas < 0) currentCanvas = canvases.Length - 1;

[west garnet]

sorry if this question sounds dumb, should i add that on both of the scrollUp and scrollDown?

[polar acorn]

Then it looks like the input actions aren't working. Not sure the specific idiosynchrasies of InputActionReference, but you probably need to enable the map somewhere? Might be a better question for #🖱️┃input-system and make sure to post !code using a bin, not screenshots.

Scale for UI should always be 1,1,1 .. change width/ height to size UI correctly. This is probably why a different sprite looks all wrong when switched in

You'll also want Z rotation to be 0

[west garnet]

yep sorry

[grand snow]

Scroll up can be -1 and scroll down can be +1 for example. The point of this is so your scrolling input can scroll forwards or backwards through the canvases array.

but yea if your inputs dont get called it wont do anything just yet

[west garnet]

yeah alright makes sense

[west garnet]

yeahhh its weird
im completly out of ideas im going to also ask in #🖱️┃input-system like someone suggested

[rocky canyon]

if its an input issue i'd also suggest that

[crystal bridge]

The laying bottle looks a little better, but doesn't change the issue. Also note the standing bottle on the scene (which is hidden via Alpha 0) is normal size and shape.

[west garnet]

well i got no idea tbh
i just know that the first fuction is working the rest isnt

[hexed terrace]

standing bottle has a scale of 0,0,0

[crystal bridge]

As per your previous suggestion, I changed to 1,1,1

[hexed terrace]

show the updated rect transform for the one with the issue

[crystal bridge]

The one above

let's also create a thread, as this atm is looking to be not code related

i';ve been trying to fix the issue for SO LONG ![rap_sobblur](https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/937451408926580828.webp?size=128 "rap_sobblur")

both the character and the ground are set on the ground layer

[rocky canyon]

well first thing debug "isGrounded()" is it always true?

[hexed terrace]

if it can jump while in the air, then isgrounded is true

[rocky canyon]

seems like it would be

[smoky river]

yes

[smoky river]

i know

i've been trying to fix this but i couldn't find a solution

[hexed terrace]

size of raycast is probably too big

log out the size value

[smoky river]

what should i set it to

[crystal bridge]

Update: Rotation issue is fixed, but width still off. Video shows the standing bottle with Alpha 1 (so you can see). It disappears when I drag the bottle.

[ocean dove]

Set player to Ignore Raycast, or force the raycast to ignore the player, I've had this issue once before

also, overriding the velocity can lead to bugs so I recommend to do AddForce(force, ForceMode2D.Impulse)

[smoky river]

how do i do that?

[ocean dove]

change the player gameobject's layer to IgnoreRaycast

[crystal bridge]

Sorry, I meant that to be a video

[hexed terrace]

like I said up above, let's thread this as it's not code related atm - delete this and post in the thread I just created

[smoky river]

thank you SO MUCH THE ISSUE IS FINALLY SOLVED

[floral salmon]

{
    RectTransform rectTransform;

    void Start()
    {
        //Fetch the RectTransform from the GameObject
        rectTransform = GetComponent<RectTransform>();
    }

I assume this doc example is a typo since rects are not game objects and finding the rect transform of a rect transform returns the parent transform instead

[eternal needle]

it never states that a rect transform is a game object. GetComponent searches the current gameobject and returns the type specified between the <>. A rect transform is a transform

[slender nymph]

1. you absolutely can use GetComponent to get a RectTransform because GetComponent gets a component attached to the object that you call the method on (in this case, it is this.GetComponent)
2. this will get this object's RectTransform, not a parent object's RectTransform because it is calling GetComponent on this, not on its parent GameObject
3. the only thing wrong about the example code is that you don't need to use GetComponent to get a RectTransform, you can just cast the transform property to RectTransform (and even still, the code is perfectly functional as is)

[hearty glade]

Hi, I have a "Card" script attached to GameObjects that are in a list(cards) and they have an enum(cardElements). I'm trying to sort them by using this script, but it doesn't work.

[polar acorn]

What makes you think this doesn't work?

[polar acorn]

What doesn't work about it

[hearty glade]

it doesn't sort the list.

[polar acorn]

It does. Are you putting it anywhere?

How are you sure it isn't? Where do you check it?

This will create a list with the elements in order

It doesn't modify the list in place

[fast fern]

so I want to do a calculation, but allow the player to write numbers in the input field (height, weight), whats the best way to script how to get the input numbers from the input field?

[hearty glade]

I seee. Thank you so much!!

[polar acorn]

Set your input field's OnSubmit to a function that takes a string. Use float.TryParse (or int) to get a number for it if possible

[floral salmon]

It works, but returns second parent's rect, which is counterintuitive

[polar acorn]

No, it doesn't. It returns the RectTransform on the object this script is on

[slender nymph]

wtf do you mean by "returns second parent's rect"? it will get the RectTransform of the object that GetComponent is called on

[grand snow]

List has a sort function to sort in place so you should use that instead of Linq

[rocky canyon]

you could also check as they type to only allow numbers and w/e mathmatical grammar u want

using onValueChanged i believe

or u can allow them to type anything and use Regex to sort thru and pull out the numbers//

or Linq char.IsDigit() i believe. one sec let me see what me ide recommends..

    [SerializeField] TMP_InputField theInputField;
    public void ReadAndPrintInputField()
    {
        // clean the string
        string numbersOnly = new string(theInputField.text.Where(c => char.IsDigit(c) || c == '.').ToArray());

        // try to display numbers
        if(float.TryParse(numbersOnly,out float result))
            Dbug.Log($"Extracted Float: {result}");
        else
            Dbug.Log("No valid float found."); // no numbers in the field
    }```

[fast fern]

I tried this so far, didn't work

    public string weightStr;
    public Text weight;
  
    public void ReadInputWeight(){
        if (Input.GetMouseButton(0)) {float.TryParse(weightStr, out playerWeight);}
        
        
    }```

[cold mist]

hello, is there any way to set a bool to true using unity events?

[fast fern]

it didn't take effect

[wintry quarry]

yes of course, what did you try and what's stopping you?

[fast fern]

I will try this, thanks

[wintry quarry]

you can literally write any code you want inside an event listener.

[polar acorn]

Okay, so what is this supposed to do

you aren't using the result anywhere

[queen adder]

Yes just do this, im just using GameObject.SetActive as an example, you can use any function

[polar acorn]

Ah, wait, it's a field, I thought that was the class name since it was less indented

[cold mist]

im trying to use UnityEvent<bool> onChangeBool, i invoke it by using a OnEnterTrigger2D method

[rocky canyon]

worked for me

[cold mist]

ill try it out

[rocky canyon]

i do prefer to monitor the field tho

and not allow letters and stuff

thats a bit more involved tho and not sure its necessary for ya

[fast fern]

I'm trying to get the wight and height number, then print out the BMI calculation in the console
BMI = playerWeight/(playerHeight*playerHeight);

[wintry quarry]

Ok and what's going wrong with it?

[hexed terrace]

there's a drop down to select what can be added

[cold mist]

it won't change to true

[wintry quarry]

what won't? What did you try?

Show us what you tried

[rocky canyon]

really? 👀

[polar acorn]

What is calling ReadInputWeight? It doesn't take a string parameter, so what's changing weightStr?

[rocky canyon]

for how long? 😭 lmao

[quick pollen]

I'm pretty sure I asked this before, but how could I create a list of objectpools?

[hexed terrace]

forever?

[rocky canyon]

omg..

@fast fern ^ TIL lol

[wintry quarry]

List<ObjectPool<Projectile>>

[rocky canyon]

nevermind what i sed about filtering out the input

[quick pollen]

the problem is that each objectpool should have different objects

[rocky canyon]

i wasn't even aware we had this dropdown

[quick pollen]

I have a list of all the objects I want

[cold mist]

oops

[wintry quarry]

What's the benefit of putting them in a list then

[hexed terrace]

it's crazy that you hadn't even looked for one! 😄

[quick pollen]

    [Serializable]
    struct Projectiles{
        public Projectile projectile;
        public int minProjectiles;
        public int maxProjectiles; 
    }
    [SerializeField] List<Projectiles> projectileInfos;
    List<ObjectPool<Projectile>> ProjectilePools;
    // Start is called once before the first execution of Update after the MonoBehaviour is created
    void Start()
    {
        for(int i = 0; i < projectileInfos.Count; i++){
            ProjectilePools[i] = new ObjectPool<Projectile>(
                
            )
        }
    }```

[wintry quarry]

you mean different TYPES of objects, or just different projectiles?

[quick pollen]

because I'll wanna be able to go through all of the objectpools

[rocky canyon]

im an idiot at times 😦
the first thing i ever did in unity as create a Password prompt.. learned about all the linq and regex stuff

[fast fern]

this thing

[quick pollen]

different projectiles

the types remain

[rocky canyon]

i never ever thought to check if there was something like that

[wintry quarry]

then there's no problem with List<ObjectPool<Projectile>>

[fast fern]

I'll check it out, a lot of reading to do

[quick pollen]

but how can I set the creation function? I'd need it to have a parameter, but you can't do that

[cold mist]

@wintry quarry im invoking this function but it won't bother

[wintry quarry]

What do you mean? You need to provide the parameters in the constructor.

https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.0/Documentation/ScriptReference/Pool.ObjectPool_1-ctor.html

what's stopping you from providing parameters?

[rocky canyon]

just a simple Content restriction.. u can mark ur stuff as numerical and u wont have to worry about anything like that..

[wintry quarry]

Is it running? Add Debug.Log to make sure

[rocky canyon]

no need to even check if u entered letters b/c they're just not allowed

[cold mist]

it is, if i use print it works fine

[fast fern]

alright, gonna give it a shot

[wintry quarry]

then it is working

either something else is setting that variable to false, or you are setting the variable to true on a different object than you expect

[rocky canyon]

all u need to do is parse the textInput.text to float

then do ur normal math

[cold mist]

ill check it out

[rocky canyon]

👍

[polar acorn]

Okay, so, what changes weightStr?

[wintry quarry]

you need to pass in a function. You can use a lambda here like () => CreateProjectile(1)

[polar acorn]

You're parsing that field, but where do you change it?

[wintry quarry]

although with this you'll need to be careful about lambda variable capture

[polar acorn]

Show where you're invoking it

[fast fern]

the input the player write becomes the new value (reeeeeeeeeeeeeeee sorry I'm a noob)

[quick pollen]

yeah, I know about that, I struggled with lambda expressions before

[polar acorn]

Okay, but where do you do that

[cold mist]

@polar acorn right here

[wintry quarry]

so you probably want this:

int temp = i;
ProjectilePools[i] new ObjectPool<Projectile>(
  () => CreateProjectile(temp),
  // the rest
)```

the temp is necessary to avoid vvariable capture issues

[polar acorn]

All right, and where do you add SetHeadBool to onHeadHitEvent?

[wintry quarry]

that's not what I wrote

not sure why you did that

follow my example

[fast fern]

aaaah, ye the code is messed up and missing stuff

[cold mist]

the events are in the same codes where they are invoked

[fast fern]

its broken

[polar acorn]

You should make the function take the string as a parameter

and parse that

[fast fern]

yeee

[polar acorn]

Okay, so where do you add SetHeadBool to onHeadHitEvent?

[cold mist]

and i call the functions using the inspector

[fast fern]

will try the other guy thing in a bit

[quick pollen]

ah nevermind, the problem was the type
but what does () represent?

[wintry quarry]

an empty parameter list

[quick pollen]

thats still weird to me

[wintry quarry]

why is it weird

we're creating a function that doesn't take any parameters, and returns the result of CreateProjectile(temp)

and passing that to the pool as the "create object" function

[polar acorn]

Okay, so, you're calling SetHeadBool on P1 (Cowboy) whenever this object collides with something tagged "Head".

[cold mist]

yep

its a bullet btw

[quick pollen]

ahhh I see
well, theres no real "creating" is what's weird
