haha true but you never know, at least if the instructions were good like KCC or something

[cosmic dagger]

We have no information about the asset you are using or how it is supposed to work. Look through the readme or documentation files on how to set it up properly. Hopefully, there are videos or a walkthrough, but if not, I would contact the author of the asset . . .

[smoky river]

this is what was written on the read me

[rich adder]

well if the prefabs have scripts on them already you don't have to add anything but the prefabs 🤷‍♂️

[runic sorrel]

hey guys having problems with my npc not walking on terrain need help pls dm me

[eternal needle]

#854851968446365696 no ones gonna dm you to help you

[runic sorrel]

ok thanks well can anyone help here then

[rich adder]

why would I do more work and go out of my way when you can just post your issue here and I may have answer

[smoky river]

i wish i knew what that meant 🥀 ❤️ ✂️ 🪫

[eternal needle]

#854851968446365696 on how to ask!

[kindred iron]

@polar acorn i can see my bean body cuz of The Flashlight's light, how can i made it so that it doesnt show my bean in fps mode?

[rich adder]

well then you should probably first do the essentials in !learn otherwise its moot to do it here.. You need the basics of Unity editor before you even touch random assets

[eternal falcon]

:teacher: Unity Learn ↗

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

[polar acorn]

Do you need to have a mesh visible at all? If it's first person, just disable the graphics on the player character

[kindred iron]

but what if i wanna see myself in mirror

or what if its a multiplayer game?

[cosmic quail]

exclude the bean body from the fps camera's visible layers

[smoky river]

all i need to know is how to add the animation and then i will (most likely) never ask anything here again

[rich adder]

all I need to know is how to do surgery

[kindred iron]

how can i do that?

[smoky river]

real

[wintry quarry]

Worry about those things when you get there

[cosmic quail]

https://docs.unity3d.com/560/Documentation/Manual/Layers.html

[kindred iron]

ok ty

[runic sorrel]

why is everyone a bit salty here. its not a competition. its called a beginner channel for a reason . no need to flex huh

[smoky river]

real

[rich adder]

its unrealistic me sitting here doing a walkthrough on how to add animations, this a code channel and regardless you would have no idea where to look if i told you where to go lol. Do the essentials first

[runic sorrel]

lame tbh

[violet oracle]

rq how do i add a grid pattern to a cube

[rich adder]

who's salty? You asked twice about help and never posted a question to the actual problem

[polar acorn]

https://learn.unity.com/tutorial/animator-controllers

[smoky river]

what specifically do you mean by essentials, can i have a list

[rich adder]

https://learn.unity.com/pathway/unity-essentials

[polar acorn]

Who is flexing anything right now? You ask a vague question you get vague answers

[runic sorrel]

want to read it again?

[fleet venture]

How can i simulate dragging a prefab into another object from code.

[rich adder]

having problems with my npc not walking on terrain
cant get any more vague than this..

[smoky river]

isn't this for 3d

[fleet venture]

setting the parent after instantiating it doesnt work

[rich adder]

"problems" is as vague as it gets

[fleet venture]

it needs to be directly into it

otherwise it messes it up

[polar acorn]

Okay, I will give you an answer with as much detail as possible based off of the information your provided:

"Add code to make it walk on terrain"

[rich adder]

no?

did you even read

[runic sorrel]

ok cool thanks

[rich adder]

what have you tried ?

[runic sorrel]

i presume its something to do with the nav mesh perhaps ?

[fleet venture]

setting the parent

[smoky river]

i opened it and first thing i saw was 3d

[fleet venture]

but that didnt work

[polar acorn]

Who knows? You haven't even mentioned if you're using nav meshes

Were we just supposed to guess?

[rich adder]

if you approach any problem quickly skimming it, then you won't solve much that way

[runic sorrel]

thats what i mean by salty. you are not very beginner friendly

[smoky river]

i don't have the time at this very moment to read through the whole thing

[rich adder]

then you don't have time to learn the editor to use it ? Then don't lol

[polar acorn]

You mean setting a reference? You can just set the variable with =.

[eternal needle]

People are literally trying to get more detail from you, and you have yet to look at the #854851968446365696
People aren't gonna pry information out of you if you cant even read a simple page on how to ask questions lmao

[rich adder]

complains gets no help while making the person do all the work of inquiring with 100s of questions .

smort

yes but i need to set up the animations TODAY

[rich adder]

You can't get away trying to drive a car without knowing to even turn the engine on.

[smoky river]

real

[rich adder]

what you're saying is " I want to somehow know how to do all this without prior knowledge but refuse to look at the material to get me there "

if you "dont have time" then you dont have the time to invest in yourself, and if you wont, why would others?

[polar acorn]

At some point during child development, a child develops what is known as a "theory of mind". The knowledge that other people do not know information until they are told it, even if that knowledge is true. There's an interesting experiment, if you get two children, one around age two or three, and another around five or six and give them the same scenario: "There is a ball in a toy chest. You take it out of the toy chest and put it under the bed when you're done. If you leave the room, and another child comes in and wants to play with the ball, where will they check for it?"

The young child will say "Under the bed" because, after all, that's where the ball is. The older child will know that the other kid has no way of knowing the ball was moved and will check the toy chest first.

Basically, what I'm saying is, you appear to have skipped that phase of psychological development

We can not see your screen. You have to say the things that are happening or no one here will know what you are doing

[rich adder]

but don't you know , we are all telepath here

🔮

[smoky river]

i want the solution for this thing only as after that im basically done with my project and i will never touch game development again

[rich adder]

we're going in circles here..

[polar acorn]

If "this thing" is how to add animations, I sent you the tutorial for that

It's also in the learn link you were sent, I just linked straight to the one on animator controllers

[rich adder]

but they dont have time digi ! they need this NOW. No time to learn.

[slender nymph]

"just this one thing, i promise" - everyone who repeatedly came back for help with the most basic stuff because they refused to bother learning the fundamentals of the tools they are using

[runic sorrel]

oh dear

[eternal needle]

if only discord had a built in counter we could use for the "just need to solve this ONE thing"

[smoky river]

this thing isn't how to add animations but thanks anyways

[polar acorn]

You know, I haven't used that other counter™️ in a while. Maybe I should start a new one

[polar acorn]

Then what is the problem

[runic sorrel]

writing this script tells me you have no life outside this server. GG x

[smoky river]

this bundle pack has an animation code and a character, and im trying to find out how to add that animation onto that character, as it is not written anywhere in the bundle

[polar acorn]

It took like two minutes to type, if you think that's "no life" then I don't think you're going to get far in game development

[runic sorrel]

dont need to, just having fun my man. dont take it too seriously x

[polar acorn]

Hm... if only there were a tutorial on how the animator controller works which could tell you how the system functions at a level the asset is likely assuming you understand

[rich adder]

You spent more time here insulting and critiquing people than actual put that effort putting details to your question so it would've gotten help instead of roasted.. amazing..who doesn't have a life here..

[runic sorrel]

insulting ? wow

[smoky river]

LMAO

[rich adder]

have no life outside this server. GG x

anyway no time to waste on these kiddies. blocked and moving on . goodluck with ya

[runic sorrel]

just a response to the initial insult ..

[rich adder]

should've spent that time putting effort into your original question instead of crying "salty users"

[runic sorrel]

just an observation

[frosty hound]

Everyone can stop bickering now, thanks.

[smoky river]

it was kinda funny tho be honest

[naive pawn]

let's not pick that back up

[red igloo]

since my game is a 3D platformer and the camera is at a side view I don't want the camera transform orientation I still want to move forward and back with D & A same with the other keys how can I do it?

https://paste.ofcode.org/HA7xfZXrm7An9CSy6PJC7D

[rich adder]

which way you want forward to be ?

[wintry quarry]

define what forward and back are

and use that

[polar acorn]

If "D" always means "Right", then just use Vector3.right

No need to involve any transforms in that case

[cosmic dagger]

So 2.5D platformer?

[fickle plume]

@smoky river Don't post off-topic here. Read #📖┃code-of-conduct . And if you are not going to invest time in learning about the thing you are asking don't expect people wasting their time doing it for you.

[red igloo]

forward = D back = A away from camera = W and close to camera = S

[wintry quarry]

yeah but what are forward and back

in terms of the game world

[smoky river]

aight bet

[wintry quarry]

not in terms of controls

like... is forward just "world right"?

[rich adder]

so you mean D goes to Vector3.Right ?

like every other 2D platformer

[cosmic dagger]

Your back is pointing forward?

[red igloo]

Basically fps movement just the camera at a side view

[rich adder]

oh your forward is Vector3.forward

[polar acorn]

Okay, so, D is Vector3.forward

[wintry quarry]

you drew your back and forward arrows pointing the same direction though haha

unless you mean back is the red arrow in Unity

which makes no sense to me

[rich adder]

yeah lol thats confusing pointing arrow

[polar acorn]

Yeah, I interpreted it as "Back is into the screen" which seems like a really wonky control scheme

[wintry quarry]

Yeah in that case back would actually be... left and back and forward would not be opposites

[rich adder]

this determines your World directions. If you want to go towards blue, then its Vector3.forward. Etc..

[cosmic dagger]

That's what threw me off. Even if that was away from the camera (into the screen) it's still drawn and named incorrectly . . .

[red igloo]

Like this? im a bit confused sorry

[wintry quarry]

yes

assuming you want the horizontal input to control "depth"

according to your camera angle

[red igloo]

I want to move forward with D not W

[wintry quarry]

(into and out of the screen)

[wintry quarry]

that depends where horizontalInput comes from then

and verticalInput

match up whichever one is A/D with Vector3.forward

[red igloo]

I get what you mean the vertical input is the one for A & D so what should I put for W & S?

[wintry quarry]

How should I know - whatever you want it to do

what do you want W and S to do?

[red igloo]

W = go back (away from the camera) and S = close to the camera

[wintry quarry]

then you have it correct

assuming what you said about vertical input being A & D is correct

and horizontal input being W and S

er actually

you would do Vector3.left

or -right

if you want W to go into the screen

Have you been testing the code or not? It should be pretty straightforward

[red igloo]

just tested it when I press D the player does not go right to move right is W

[wintry quarry]

then you are mistaken about which one vertical and horizontal input are

go check that again

Yeah based on your code from earlier:

        horizontalInput = Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal");
        verticalInput = Input.GetAxisRaw("Vertical");```
What you said is completely backwards

[polar acorn]

Following this, horizontal would be multiplied with Vector3.forward, and vertical would be multiplied with Vector3.left

Since forward is your left/right

and left is your up/down

[red igloo]

just checked what my vertical input was >

I FIXED IT! Thanks for the help !!

[rich egret]

The script is designed to rotate a 3D model with the mouse but have it stay in place, but for some reason it doesn't.

public class MovePrefab : MonoBehaviour
{
    private bool isDragging = false;
    private float rotationSpeed = 5f;
    private Vector3 lastMousePosition;

    void Update()
    {
        if (Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0))
        {
            Ray ray = Camera.main.ScreenPointToRay(Input.mousePosition);
            RaycastHit hit;

            if (Physics.Raycast(ray, out hit))
            {
                if (hit.transform.gameObject == gameObject)
                {
                    isDragging = true;
                    lastMousePosition = Input.mousePosition;
                }
            }
        }

        if (isDragging)
        {
            Vector3 deltaMousePosition = Input.mousePosition - lastMousePosition;
            float rotationAmount = deltaMousePosition.x * rotationSpeed * Time.deltaTime;
            gameObject.transform.Rotate(Vector3.up, -rotationAmount, Space.World);

            lastMousePosition = Input.mousePosition;
        }

        if (Input.GetMouseButtonUp(0))
        {
            isDragging = false;
        }
    }
}```

[cosmic dagger]

It doesn't what: rotate or stay in place?

[rich egret]

rotate

[pale hazel]

I honestly have a problem, So Im trying to make that NPC movement I think mario bros had where the NPCs would turn around and go another direction of a platform if they'd fall the more they walk.

I attempted to use raycast to simulate that movement but I ended up with this issue for some unknown reason.

Gonna also post the code and other stuff in a minute

}

This is the movement code for enemy

I know the problem is that Raycast isnt counting the ground as something it sees but genuinely why

Might aswell also show what the whole Unity settings of it is, first two pictures are tilemap and grid details for the ground and last two are the enemy's settings

Also Note I havent set the animation yet

[wintry quarry]

why does your raycast have a distance of 0?

new Vector2(directionX * 10, -10)
These 10s mean nothing

raycast uses a direction for one parameter, and then the distance is in the distance parameter

y9ou also didn't show the inspector for the script so it's not clear what you set the layermask to as well.

#📲┃ui-ux

[pale hazel]

ohhh

[pale hazel]

the script inspector is shown tho

Enemy Movement is the script

[wintry quarry]

The layer mask just says mixed so can't see it

[pale hazel]

oh right

its basically this

[wintry quarry]

alright well - your main issue seems to be the parameters to your raycast being wrong

[errant moss]

Hey! can anyone help with unity ar?
I am spawning a prefab on detection of a ref image and the moment it spawn I want to attach the joystick prefab in canvas to it. I'm having a bit difficulty with that.

[pale hazel]

Also I set the distance to 3 and changed the directions a bit and... this happened

the enemy is just... suddenly funky

[jagged venture]

Hi, i have this problem, the offset and tilling only moves the silhouette, not the image.
I don't find any solution for this in the internet, has 2 days this problem
Sorry my english

[pale hazel]

It's also what happened last time should've mentioned which is why I tried setting it to zero

[jagged venture]

This is the problem

[pale hazel]

I wholeheartedly dont get it why is the enemy just suddenly breakdancing like oh my gosh

[dense crystal]

Hey guys im brand new to unity and im having issues with some simple code can anyone help me?
problem is the bird wont jump more than once in this but its picking up my keys. the tutorial is using velocity and i seen thats depercated to now linear velocity.

Code:

using UnityEngine;

public class BirdScript : MonoBehaviour
{
    public Rigidbody2D myRigidBody;
    public float jumpForce = 10.0f;

    // Start is called once before the first execution of Update after the MonoBehaviour is created
    void Start()
    {
        
    }

    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update()
    {
        if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Space))
        {
            myRigidBody.linearVelocity = Vector2.up * jumpForce;
        }
    }
}

[rich adder]

video needs to be mp4 to embed

[dense crystal]

oh my bad let me convert

@rich adder

[polar acorn]

Continued from #💻┃unity-talk message (This is why there's rules against cross-posting!)

Add Debug.Log(myRigidBody.linearVelocity) right after you set it, what do you see in the console as you mash space?

[dense crystal]

just deleted the old one staying in this one now.

like this should work in theory? idk why it does that problem

[polar acorn]

Actually, looking at this video, it does seem to be going up. Look at the Y value in the inspector, it keeps increasing.

The camera is falling

[dense crystal]

it can do that?

[polar acorn]

If you gave it a rigidbody

Show the inspector of the camera

Either it's falling or it's upside-down

because that bird's Y value is going up

[dense crystal]

omg youre the goat

i did that by accident in the start.

[dense crystal]

thank you so much for your help! i owe you

[polar acorn]

Sometimes it's a good idea to put some sort of background element fixed in place so you have something to compare movement against

[dense crystal]

ill do that now. never touched unity before this so i apperiate the help.

[proud escarp]

Hello guys! I'm trying to learn how to use Animation Rigging.. I'm following a yt video, and did exactly the same (with a different model), but elbow is not moving.. I'll upload a small video if I can

[queen adder]

Is doing a GetComponent on the collider that a raycast from the camera hits every update a bad idea? I know that GetComponents are expensive but I can't think of a better way to get some properties of an object i'm looking at.

[frosty hound]

https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.0/Documentation/ScriptReference/RaycastHit-collider.html

The raycast will already give you back the collider.

[queen adder]

I know that

After I get the collider and the gameobject of the collider, I am going to do a GetComponent to get a script

[rich adder]

its normal

try hundreds

on a slight efficency note, always good idea to have TryGetComponent instead. So you have benefit of null check too

[polar acorn]

GetComponent should be avoided whenever possible, but sometimes that means it is necessary

[cosmic quail]

trygetcomponent is a lot more efficient when getting an interface instead of a normal component right?

[rich adder]

trygetcomponent is just GetComponent with a null check

[slender nymph]

the only "efficiency" difference between GetComponent and TryGetComponent is the fact that TryGetComponent does not allocate in the editor like GetComponent does

[cosmic quail]

but null checking an interface is way better than null checking a normal component right? i heard that somewhere

[slender nymph]

and how would that make any difference between GetComponent and TryGetComponent?

[polar acorn]

Comparing an object with null is going to be the same no matter what object it is

[atomic crater]

Hello fellas, I'm a programmer dabblling in unity just recently. I am making a 2d top down game and I want to have a player character shoot a gun at the enemy using a mouse to aim.

I was trying to use raycast2d to detect whether it hits the enemy or not, but I found out that the ray I cast straight up ignore the collision and will always be false. I still can't find an answer after an hour of searching and looking up documents and I think I need help

https://paste.mod.gg/ebapanlyatki/0
This is the code used for the shooting. The object has the required tag and has a correct collision box

[cosmic quail]

im not comparing those, im comparing interfaces and normal components

[rich adder]

they all just object at the end of the day

[slender nymph]

your original question was "trygetcomponent is a lot more efficient when getting an interface instead of a normal component right?"
TryGetComponent is not any more "efficient" at doing so than GetComponent is. the null check, whether done as part of TryGet.. or done explicitly after Get.., will be identical

but yes, null checking an object that doesn't derive from UnityEngine.Object will be faster than null checking an object that does, and that is only because UnityEngine.Object has those overridden == and != operators to do its check for fake null

[polar acorn]

And a null check on an interface is the same as a null check on literally any other reference type

[polar acorn]

Wait, nevermind. Fake Null throwing me off again, same rake, different step

[rich adder]

I suppose unity has to do some type of lookup first by InstanceID or whatever

that can add some slight compute time

[cosmic quail]

wait so if i get an interface with getcomponent/trygetcomponent does that use the overriden == methods too?

[rich adder]

you should give your drawray a distance btw

[slender nymph]

technically no, but i would assume that the internal methods would throw a real null back in that case if the component is already destroyed or just non-existant anyway

[atomic crater]

I think it already has a distance since it's a full vector

[rich adder]

ehh draw ray is taking your direction normalized

its probably at most 1 in length

[naive pawn]

drawray doesn't take a direction

drawray takes a ray and an offset

Draws a line from start to start + dir in world coordinates.

dir being the ray and start being the offset for the origin of the ray

[rich adder]

@atomic crater . anyway should Debug.Log($"hit : {hit.collider.name}");

[atomic crater]

oh my lord, that's it

The debug said it hits the player object, so that's why it never hits the enemy

So the hit detection works as intended after all

[rich adder]

yeah good idea to use ignore layermasks

[rocky canyon]

👍 Debug.Log(Everything);

[rich adder]

its funny how there were Debug.log for everything else BUT the main causer

[rocky canyon]

void Update()
{
    if (Input.GetMouseButtonDown(3)) Debug.Log("Back Button Pressed");
    if (Input.GetMouseButtonDown(4)) Debug.Log("Forward Button Pressed");
}``` just found out i can use the macro buttons on my mouse as simple developing buttons

[atomic crater]

Alright that solves literally everything. Thank you so much for pointing this out to me. I have to wrestle with a new language syntax, and it's good to hear that I just made a simple mistake

[devout otter]

Hey, when im trying to add an onclick event to a button, i dont see my method, which has 2 parameters - in the list. But if i remove 1 parameter - i can see it. Unity does not support onclick event methods with more than 1 parameter?

[slender nymph]

that is correct
https://unity.huh.how/unity-events/method-requirements

[wintry quarry]

Serialize your parameters in the script instead

You can always add listeners in your code dynamically

have you confirmed that there are no errors and that the code is actually running?

[solid moss]

yes, there are no errors and like i said - the slider is moving, but for some reason it just doesent update in game

and idk why :(

I've been trying on this for 2 hours now, even with help of chat gpt

[slender nymph]

perhaps ask in #💥┃post-processing 🤷‍♂️

[solid moss]

i will ask, ty

[solid moss]

i got it working.. i didnt have the right volume mask selected in main camer->Environment

[rocky canyon]

-# both of these seem to be valid

    moveAction.action.performed += k => OnMove(k);
    moveAction.action.performed += OnMove;

-# even without changing the method

    private void OnMove(InputAction.CallbackContext k)
    {
        Vector2 movement = k.ReadValue<Vector2>();
        Debug.Log($"Move {movement} {k.time.ToString("00:00")}");
    }

i read something like "Unity knows that it needs the context so its automatically included.. my question is is that true.. and even tho im OCD and looove clean code.. something feels wrong about omitting it

[broken nest]

Hey, it's probably something dumb but I got a script on an object with a Debug.Log() in awake and I don't get any console message, any idea how that might happen?

[rocky canyon]

is the script attached to a GameObject..

[timber tide]

Is it disabled by default?

[rocky canyon]

and/or in the scene?

[slender nymph]

Note that the first one is creating a lambda expression and subscribing that. This means it cannot be unsubscribed (since you aren't storing that delegate elsewhere), the second subscribes by creating a delegate from the method group

[broken nest]

nvm it's because I checked the thingy that makes it so the messages don't show lmao

I knew it was dumb

[rocky canyon]

ohhh!..

    void PlayerInputsUnSubscription()
    {
        // unsubscribe from player action maps
        moveAction.action.performed -= k => OnMove(k);
        moveAction.action.canceled -= k => OnMove(k);
        jumpAction.action.performed -= k => OnJump(k);
        attackAction.action.performed -= k => OnAttack(k);
        interactAction.action.performed -= k => OnInteract(k);
        crouchAction.action.performed -= k => OnCrouch(k);
        sprintAction.action.performed -= k => OnSprint(k);
    }``` so this is bologna?

[timber tide]

Yeah I'm not too sure why a lot of the Unity examples subscribe with the lambda, but the second one implies that the return matches with the the method prototype. Oh yeah and as box mentioned if you want to unsubscribe thats a problem unless you store the delegate somewhere

[slender nymph]

Yup

[rocky canyon]

i see..

thanks guys.. that woulda went unknown for a while

[rocky canyon]

yea, im pretty sure i seen someone else using ctx or context soo i figured thats what should be done.. never even questioned it

but slowly im getting the hang of lambdas and anonymous functions

[tulip stag]

Any way to make EntryIDs not serialized by the JsonUtility but still show up in the inspector?

[wintry quarry]

They both use the same serialization mechanism. So you would have to use an approach that displays things in the inspector that are not serialized

That essentially means custom editors, but also plugins that make custom editors easy

[tulip stag]

😔

[tulip stag]

😸

[wintry quarry]

Another alternative is to switch to a different JSON Serializer

that uses a different serialization mechanism and rules

and keep it serialized in Unity

[timber tide]

Probably can just make another list and populate it via onValidate I would think

https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.0/Documentation/ScriptReference/ISerializationCallbackReceiver.html
Those too

[wintry quarry]

wouldn't that equally apply to JsonUtility and the inspector though?

[timber tide]

I'm actually a little confused on what this pertains to. Is this to see it in the editor at runtime?

In that case you'd just populate another list that's created at that runtime

[rocky canyon]

aye!! cleaned it up a bit

still chunky under Subscribe and Unsubscribe methods.. but atleast for the Enable and Disable i got a for loop doing the work

    void DisablePlayerInputs(){
        foreach(var action in playerActionReferences)
            DisableAction(action);
    }```

[violet glacier]

Hi, I'm using vcontainer, what are some ways to use coroutines if the script is not a monobehavior?

[rich adder]

You need Monobehavior to start coroutine on. It wont work without one

You can use async just fine though..

[violet glacier]

Oh I see, what if I inject a monobehavior instance and use that to start coroutines for all the scripts that need to start a coroutine?

[rich adder]

As long as the MB can run sure, it can work I suppose.

what exactly you need from coroutine that regular async can't do

[violet glacier]

I guess I don't know how to use regular async

[rich adder]

instead of yield you await

[violet glacier]

Here's an example code I need to use

    public void DelaySequence(float delaySeconds, Action onComplete)
    {
        StartCoroutine(Delay_Routine(delaySeconds, onComplete));
    }

    private IEnumerator Delay_Routine(float delaySeconds, Action onComplete)
    {
        yield return new WaitForSeconds(delaySeconds);
        onComplete?.Invoke();
    }

[rich adder]

Coroutines are like fake async

if all you're doing is a delay Async should work just fine

You can probably use Awaitable too, I haven't looked into if it works without MB though

async Task DelayedMethod(){
await Task.Delay(timeInMs);
//do something```

[violet glacier]

Thanks I'll try that

[rich adder]

You can try Awaitable too, its supposed to be a bit more efficient than Tasks in unity, only tried in MBs though.
it probably works outside too..

https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.0/Documentation/Manual/async-awaitable-introduction.html

[arctic arch]

Hey guys I use ECS (with Entities Graphics) and want to change the material on a specific entity. Basically in one of my systems I go over all the entities that have my component, and then the children of this are the ones that actually need the changing, so my question is 2 steps, how do I get children of an entity with specific components, and how do I change an entity's Material? (I just started with ecs so I might just be expecting the wrong thing here I honestly dont know)

[teal viper]

Probably better to ask in #1062393052863414313

    private void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other)

    }


}

when the music is changing to second one there's a fps drop in my game . how can I fix it?

[rich adder]

profile to find out exactly if its a real concern

wont know for sure without profiler

[versed light]

is there any known bugs going around in unity 6 with custom editors ?

[charred spoke]

Change the load type on the audio file to preload. By default unity loads audio on demand. For big files like music the preferred type is streaming from disk or preload if you can afford the memory cost.

https://gamedevbeginner.com/unity-audio-optimisation-tips/ I can recommend this article

anyone know how to fix terrible completion? Visual Studio Code
i press tab on OnTriggerEnter2D then it just completes like half of it or something, is there a setting for it?

[naive pawn]

have you configured your ide properly?

!vsc

!vscode

[eternal falcon]

Visual Studio Code guide

If your IDE is not underlining errors in red or autocompleting code,
please configure it using the link below:

https://on.unity.com/vscode

[deft grail]

i think so?

it suggests everything and shows errors all fine

[hot harbor]

is there a way to make coroutines' waitforseconds work in regular update/fixedUpdate functions other than having to make your own counter variable?

[deft grail]

no because Update runs every frame so that doesn't make sense

[tulip stag]

Some very basic beginner programming logic question:
If my static class SheetHelper has a variable of the class Sheet that should aleays point to a Sheet that exists as a variable in GameManager.Instance.activeSheet; will just Sheet currentSheet = GameManager.Instance.activeSheet work? Like, I can intuitively see two things happening and I'm not sure which will actually happen:

1. Any changes to currentSheet will change GameManager.Instance.activeSheet, meaning that I can work entirely on SheetHelper to do all my modifications on the GameManager's Sheet variable
2. When assigning currentSheet as GameManager.Instance.activeSheet; I create a new instance of Sheet that's running within SheetHelper that will copy all the information present in activeSheet. It means that no changes happening to currentSheet will affect activeSheet

(PS: does the answer change if SheetHelper is not static? I was hoping to make a SheetManager too that inherits from Monobehaviour and calls functions from the SheetHelper API)

[sour fulcrum]

If my static class SheetHelper has a variable of the class Sheet that should aleays point to a Sheet that exists as a variable in GameManager.Instance.activeSheet; will just Sheet currentSheet = GameManager.Instance.activeSheet work?
no, because thats setting a value, you want to point to a value. for this you want a property.

a property is a Get and a Set function disguised as a field. in your case it would look like this

static Sheet CurrentSheet
{
    get
    {
        return (GameManager.Instance.activeSheet);
    }
}

this means when something tries to get from it, it does that logic to retrieve it.

in your case it can also be simplified to just
static Sheet CurrentSheet => GameManager.Instance.activeSheet

[tame mesa]

Hello,

I have an idea to make a voxel exploration game.

We would like the player to explore a place like in the picture (maybe not as much detail but a notion of immensity)

So a friend is creating the interior model of the cathedral. At the code level however, I would like to know what is the right way to manage this? Do I have to load the element in one go? Finally how to go about it?

I really have no idea how to import something so "big" correctly

[rich ice]

is your friend using magicavoxel? pretty sure big models have to split into multiple parts anyway

also this isn't really a code question

[tame mesa]

I'm not sure if he uses this software but there is a similarity, but what about "split into multiple"?

In Unity, I will therefore import these multiple models, but I will have to combine them to have the final rendering, how does it work?

Forget about elements such as pillars, benches etc

I'm really talking about the structure, the building

[rich ice]

more of a question for #🔀┃art-asset-workflow. this doesn't have anything to do with programming. (i dont really know the specifics of importing bigger models anyway)

also, magicavoxel has a maximum object size of i believe 256x256x256 voxels per object. this is far bigger than that limit so it would be split across multiple objects

[tame mesa]

I was wondering if this was the right channel, sorry

[cosmic dagger]

Multiple objects make up the cathedral. They'll build (model) all the pieces and import each to rebuild the scene. You wouldn't import the entire thing as one piece . . .

[tame mesa]

Not the entire cathedral of course, but the nave, I have no choice for example? how to divide it into several parts?

[rugged beacon]

how do i use this outline script

[grand snow]

I think it's for ugui only

[rugged beacon]

can you able to suggest me any simple ways to add outline on 2d sprites? guides i've seen all do shader

something thats can be toggled forgot to add

[grand snow]

Not sure if there is a shader usable anywhere but if you are comfortable writing one or using shader graph you can do edge detection to produce an outline. You do have to do some other things such as UV scaling and clamping to provide enough space however

Id share one but it's not mine

[chrome apex]

so if I want to make a make a player controller with an elongated collider but I don't want it to be pushed by forces, the only possible way to do that is to code my own movement systems with raycasts and stuff ,yea?

[rugged beacon]

dang its seem adding sprite outline not simple

[grand snow]

Edge detection isn't super hard in a shader and there are plenty of resources to teach how to do it

[rugged beacon]

yea all the guides i've seen for this use shader graph, i'll look for more ways awhile, keep this as my last resort

[rich ice]

depends, i think. kind of confusing wording there. rigidbody movement only works by pushing the object with forces. character controller movement is pretty much unaffected by physics anyway.

[chrome apex]

I would very much like character controller but it only works with a capsule collider on the Y axis

[cosmic dagger]

There should be a free one online somewhere or the asset store . . .

[fervent abyss]

for some unknown reason my code wont work, even though i have other ontriggerenter methods as a coroutine and they all work just fine

IEnumerator OnTriggerEnter(Collider other)
    {
        if(canUse){
            canUse = false;
            if(tap){
                if(tagCheck){
                    if(!other.CompareTag(tapTag)) yield break;
                    onButtonClicked?.Invoke(other);
                } else {
                    onButtonClicked?.Invoke(other);
                }
            } else {
                onButtonClicked?.Invoke(other);
            }
            yield return new WaitForSeconds(delay);
            canUse = true;
        }
    }

[polar acorn]

No they don't

[fervent abyss]

yes they do, im not calling them anywhere yet they work smh

[polar acorn]

No, they don't. OnTriggerEnter cannot be a coroutine

[fervent abyss]

then how do mine work

😭

[rich ice]

simple, it doesn't

[cosmic dagger]

I don't believe OnTriggerEnter can be a coroutine . . .

[polar acorn]

They don't. You are mistaken

[rich ice]

try doing this instead

private void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other)
{
    StartCoroutine("coroutine here");
}

[cosmic dagger]

The method is probably being called regularly, but you have to call a coroutine from OnTriggerEnter . . .

[fervent abyss]

erm

lemme record a video

[rich ice]

damn, now i kind of want to double check this myself. that'd actually be somewhat useful if its true

[rancid tinsel]

are non-monobehaviour instances like this automatically cleaned up or how does that work?

[rich ice]

holy shit, he's right

[grand snow]

Readup on garbage collection in c#. Even if you destroy a game object or component the instances still exist till gc

[polar acorn]

Try it after the yield return

[rancid tinsel]

im not sure i understand - yes they go to garbage collection, and then they are disposed no?

[cosmic dagger]

Did you try waiting for a few seconds and logging after?

[grand snow]

When nothing references them any more then yes they get deleted by the garbage collector.

[rancid tinsel]

so i would have to manually set things to null after destroying? that feels like something the method should have built in

[polar acorn]

This is documented nowhere, I am on mobile and can't test it but nothing anywhere official says this can be done

[rich ice]

haven't tested this yet but

[rich ice]

one sec, lemme try this

[rancid tinsel]

whats the issue?

[grand snow]

Not really, in this example the instance will be gc'd at some point in the future as it's not referenced anymore:

private void MyFunc()
{
 List<string> mylist = new();
}

[rich ice]

multiple people here (including me) didn't know you could do this

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;

public class Test : MonoBehaviour
{
    public IEnumerator OnTriggerEnter(Collider other)
    {
        Debug.Log("damn, this actually worked");
        yield return null;
    }

    public IEnumerator OnTriggerExit(Collider other)
    {
        Debug.Log("damn, this actually worked");
        yield return null;
    }

    public IEnumerator OnTriggerStay(Collider other)
    {
        Debug.Log("damn, this actually worked");
        yield return null;
    }
}

[polar acorn]

Again, put the log after the wait and see if it works

[rancid tinsel]

do what though?

[grand snow]

You should read more about it as it's a c# concept: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/standard/garbage-collection/fundamentals

[rich ice]

oh right, mb, i'll test it now

[rancid tinsel]

will do, thank you!

my understanding of gc is basically limited to brief conversations in class when doing object pooling lol

[rich adder]

"are you still using this? no? okay I recycle it now from memory"

[rancid tinsel]

essentially how i understand it

but apparently destroying something doesn't make it over and done with

which i had no idea about

[rich adder]

correct

[rich ice]

huh, weird. wasn't the expected result but yield return null still makes the next line run

[rich adder]

its "marked" only for deletion but not deleted yet
until GC comes with its broom and sweeps these gremlins out

[fervent abyss]

SEE

[rich ice]

but, doing yield return new waitforseconds(x) still works

[polar acorn]

Like, it actually waits or does it skip right over it and run the next line?

[rancid tinsel]

oh wait wtf

[polar acorn]

Put some absurd length wait in there and see

[rancid tinsel]

as in no one here knew you could wait return null without it throwing an error?

add me to the list, that is WEIRD

[rich ice]

i already tried 10 seconds, it waited 10 seconds. i can try higher though

[fervent abyss]

i have 2 scripts that use coroutine for on trigger enter and they both work

but the 3rd one doesnt

[rich ice]

no, its the fact that it's trigged by OnTriggerX

usually a coroutine needs to be triggered by a void to run

afaik atleast

[rich adder]

Unity has internal methods to Start those coroutines

[rancid tinsel]

oh nvm

[rich adder]

notably
IEnumerator Start()

[rancid tinsel]

yeah that was my assumption

[cosmic dagger]

They don't need to be triggered by another method to run . . .

[rich adder]

another internal one called by unity void async Awake()

[rancid tinsel]

similar to how Test Runner gives you 2 preset tests, 1 void and 1 ienumerator

[fervent abyss]

thats why i tried it, and i think i saw SOMEWHERE IN THE DOCS that it actually supports coroutines....... or is it the mandella effect

[polar acorn]

Okay then, @fervent abyss I guess I owe you an apology, this is documented nowhere. I didn't just say that without checking but nothing in the documentation of OnTriggerEnter says it can be a coroutine. I don't know where you found out you could do this, but apparently it's an undocumented feature

[cosmic dagger]

I can confirm they do work as a coroutine . . .

[rich adder]

correct

[fervent abyss]

its okay

but LMFAOOOOOO why isnt it documented anywhere

[rancid tinsel]

you invented it

with magic

[polar acorn]

Dude raced backwards and found the secret level

[fervent abyss]

LMFAOOOO

[rich adder]

with start it is documented on its page
https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.0/Documentation/ScriptReference/MonoBehaviour.Start.html

[rich ice]

huh, that's the first time i've seen that

[grand snow]

Destroy() only removes a component or game object from use and will also unload some assets strait away. The class instances though still exist till GC.
Unity will make monos == null when destroyed for our convenience but it's a lie

[polar acorn]

Anyway back on to this, try logging canUse outside the if statement, maybe it's false when you don't expect it to be? If nothing logs it's probably something to do with the colliders or rigidbody of the objects involved

[grand snow]

Real solution: use a debugger

[fervent abyss]

im trying to debug, the method works apparently but it doesnt if check

[polar acorn]

Yeah, I saw that it was mentioned in start's, but not in ontrigger's so I assumed that meant it couldn't be done

[rich adder]

Yeah I saw it somewhere, forgot where it was a while back. Iirc might been hidden in docs somewhere

[cosmic dagger]

I will say that I wouldn't—or at least—be careful when using Trigger methods as a coroutine. In my test, it ran during startup and when it was manually triggered, which is not expected behaviour . . .

[fervent abyss]

muahahahah

who knows how many more secret unity has like this

[rich adder]

fun mystery box

[rich ice]

this is the main reason i help out in this server. every now and then someone comes in with an interesting bit of knowledge like this lol

[fervent abyss]

lol nvm i got it to work

[fervent abyss]

the yield break was breaking it i did yield return null and it started working

[polar acorn]

Yeah, yield break is "End the coroutine"

[fervent abyss]

dont thank me guys for opening a whole new possibility in Unity

i guess im just a guy who knows a guy... [proud]

[rancid tinsel]

btw is there an example where a coroutine OnTrigger would be better than just doing regular OnTrigger and calling a coroutine in there?

[rich adder]

Just in time when I pretty much stopped using coroutines xD

[rich adder]

being lazy and not having to do StartCoroutine

[polar acorn]

Not really, just shorter

[rich ice]

i just like keeping my code shorter.

[rancid tinsel]

yeah ig its cleaner, im just thinking i dont think there is a way to grab a reference to that ontrigger coroutine is there?

[rich adder]

aside from that...it cannot be started outside of OnTriggerEnter

also you cannot Store the coroutine inside a variable

[rancid tinsel]

yeah

[rich adder]

I suppose you could but it probably wont be the same one unity calls thru MB since they will run side by side

[polar acorn]

Sorry for the condescension, I even went and double checked before I did so and it turns out I was wrong anyway

[rich adder]

happens to the best of us 🥹

[burnt vapor]

Most Unity callbacks can be coroutines. Unity automatically starts it as coroutine if it returns an IEnumerator. Only a few can’t be a coroutine. Most commonly: Awake, Update, LateUpdate, FixedUpdate, OnGUI, OnEnable, OnDisable, OnDestroy.

I could have sworn this was documented, but I guess it isn't

That said, imo a bit of a codesmell to coroutine one of them. Would advice you call coroutines from inside the method instead

[cosmic dagger]

That is precisely my point. The fact that you can't store it in a variable is a code smell and a bad idea for me . . .

[warm jackal]

hey, can semeone explain me why my cubePrefab dont go on the player position please ?

https://paste.ofcode.org/aciFRGZr8pFvCkR9dGzRNt

[rich ice]

dont cross post

[rich adder]

what did you do to test?

[rocky canyon]

its spawning at the same position that this gameobject is

[rich adder]

the issue is they're moving the prefab not the actual instance

[rocky canyon]

ahhh i see

this is wrong

thats the "prefab reference"

[warm jackal]

can you explain why

[rocky canyon]

the one in the project window

ur trying to move the "Original" prefab..

[rich adder]

You're trying to move an asset rather than a gameobject in the scene

[rocky canyon]

not its Instantiated Clone

[warm jackal]

what am I supposed to do to resolve this issue?

[rich adder]

store the instance in a variable to do stuff with

Instantiate returns you the cloned object

[rocky canyon]

private GameObject theSpawnedObject;

    void SpawnObject()
    {
        // Fait apparaître un nouvel objet à la position du spawner avec une rotation par défaut
        theSpawnedObject = Instantiate(cubePrefab, transform.position, Quaternion.identity);
    }```

theSpawnedObject.transform.position = Vector3.MoveTowards(spawner.transform.position, player.transform.position, speed);

understand?

[warm jackal]

okay I think I got it

[cosmic dagger]

You are moving the original prefab, but that is the object you are using to instantiate clones from. The original prefab is not in the scene. It is not the instantiated object in the scene. You need to move the instantiated object you created from the prefab . . .

[rocky canyon]

-# good luck 🍀

[warm jackal]

the spawned object is a clone of the prefab that why whit the prefab it dont work

the prefab inst in the scene

[cosmic dagger]

Exactly. You need to move the instantiated object as that is the one created (added) to the scene . . .

[warm jackal]

okay I understand now

thank you everyone

[rocky canyon]

i think unity needs to create a little console log for this type of stuff ;D

[warm jackal]

yes I agree

[warm jackal]

I didnt got this

[rocky canyon]

its a common error... one of the first errors most people encounter

[rocky canyon]

ya, i wrote it myself lol

[warm jackal]

ahhh okay

but it dont seem to work anyways, am I missing something ?

[rocky canyon]

show ur script again..

and whats not working? be more specific

[warm jackal]

let me show you

[cosmic dagger]

Yeah, you probably skipped a step . . .

[warm jackal]

just wait a minute let me try something

something is wrond whit my speed float

I have the impression that this defines the spawn point of my object that I want to move

[rocky canyon]

pro-tip: for modifiers (multiplication)
its always good to start with 1 and then modify it during run-time to find the best fit for you..

b/c anything * 1 = anything..

soo its a good base-line

[warm jackal]

yes

when i change speed it just move the position of my clone

[cosmic dagger]

Use http://streamable.com to post vids or save in mp4 format . . .

[warm jackal]

yes sorry

https://streamable.com/cdzadp

[rich ice]

btw, if you're using OBS. you can use the remux recordings button (right under show recordings) to change the recording from an mkv to an mp3

[warm jackal]

okay didnt know that

[rocky canyon]

not a code issue.. works fine

[warm jackal]

what I'm trying to do is make my clone leave the spawner and make it go to the player, not the other way around

[rocky canyon]

ahh well that should work fine too..

just slot in the Player's transform for the Initialization method

[warm jackal]

i dont change the position on my video, just the speed

[rocky canyon]

i copied ur code.. works that way as well..

[warm jackal]

whit these line or not?

[rocky canyon]

https://scriptbin.xyz/jalovutaqo.cs

heres both scripts i used in the video.. (they're your scripts just refactored a bit)

not sure why changing the speed variable affects ur instantiated object at all

the speed variable only matters when u instantiate it..
it sends the speed variable to the **Follow **script in its initialization..
after that the Spawner script shouldn't matter at all..
if you change the speed variable.. it wont affect anything until you go to spawn another gameobject
then that new speed variable gets sent to the initialization method for that prefab

[warm jackal]

It help me to understand the two script you send me

thank you a lot

for a beginner like me its very important

[sterile radish]

how can i delete the stuff in a json file but still keep the file itself?

[grizzled carbon]

you mean just empty the contents?

[sterile radish]

yes

[grizzled carbon]

you should be able to open it with a code editor / notepad and delete the contents

[sterile radish]

oh sorry i meant as if there was a way to do it through code

[rocky canyon]

no problem.. thats what i try to do..

to help a bit.. but also for people to take it as an example and compare it to theirs

[eternal needle]

You can just write nothing to the file

And overwrite it

[drowsy mason]

can i ask here what software is the easiest to learn how to make simple game's idk for example clicker or 2d game

unity?

[rocky canyon]

you'll mostly want to learn a little bit of everything if ur a solo dev

• Image Software
• Audio Software
  mainly

[drowsy mason]

idk how am i supposed to start

like idk mainly how do i make levels/maps etc

[rocky canyon]

curated them quite a while ago
-# a few tools i use..

https://github.com/SpawnCampGames/Resources/blob/main/Tools/readme.md

[rocky canyon]

for 2D its usually Tilemaps and Sprites

#1253440741322133545 message heres a post w/ bunch of beginner resources for Unity

[rocky canyon]

if ur gonna be developing w/ code you're gonna wanna start by making sure your IDE is configured and linked to Unity

!ide the most important step tbh.. if u dont have a configured IDE you can't really get much help.. its a requirement

[eternal falcon]

💡 IDE Configuration

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

Select one:

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

[rocky canyon]

if you're bad at art you can use third party assets.. the Unity Asset Store has plenty..

https://itch.io has bunch.. as well as a few other places.. i can give u a list if u want just lmk..
and that being said.. i just realized we're in #💻┃code-beginner for general Unity stuff like you're asking now you'll want to post in #💻┃unity-talk

[drowsy mason]

so i can for example download tilemap asset?

[rocky canyon]

or #🖼️┃2d-tools and #🔀┃art-asset-workflow

for levels and stuff

[rocky canyon]

100 percent..

theres tons of them

https://assetstore.unity.com/2d/environments

some may already be cut up and sliced
some may not be..
you'll want to be familiar with the sprite-editor and how to set up ur textures to be 2D / Sprites

[obtuse ether]

im trying to figure out how to find the position of the gameobject the player collides with so the player knows which direction to fly away from, and i dont really know how to get it can someone help me lol

trying to not watch that many yt tutorials bc i end up going braindead and just copying the code w/o understanding what it does

lol

[rich adder]

just compare it to a value

float by itself doesnt do much

if(transform.position.x > other.position.x) // if he's to my right
if(transform.position.x < other.position.x) // if he's to my left

[obtuse ether]

alr

[cosmic dagger]

it also depends how the GameObject is moving. If it can come from any angle, then get the direction and negate it (use the opposite) for the knockback effect . . .

[deep moon]

i am having rotation issue and for some reason its not even starting, its performing then canceling

[obtuse ether]

oh alr

i was thinking about just some basic flat knockback

[rich adder]

show code

[obtuse ether]

but im just curious about how you get the direction of an object

[rich adder]

nextpos - currentpos

[cosmic dagger]

subtract their positions and normalize the result, but you can google this part . . .

[obtuse ether]

i did make a little gun that points torwards your mouse but i dont really understand whats happening

since i kinda just braindead copied the code 💀

[rich adder]

very basic trigonometry

[obtuse ether]

the most i understand is finding where the mouse is compared to the gameobject using mousePos - transform

and then my brain kinda melts

[rich adder]

thats not a comparison

(b-a) gives magnitude

[obtuse ether]

oop

-# i worded it wrong im kinda dumb ignore me lol

[rich adder]

https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/scripting-vectors.html
this kinda simplifies all you need to know in context of Game

[obtuse ether]

alr ill make sure to read that ty

[obtuse ether]

okay so if my brain is braining right which it probably isnt this is gonna get the magnitude that is going the opposite direction of the enemy

and then do i normalize this and multiply it by how strong i want the knockback to be???

[rich adder]

you can do (a-b).normalized * force

[obtuse ether]

oh

[slender nymph]

note that this is direction not magnitude. magnitude would be the distance (or length of the resulting vector). that gets the direction from collision.gameObject to this object, so any force in that direction would be toward the object this script is attached to. but then yes, normalize it and multiply it by the desired amount of force

[obtuse ether]

okay so im half dumb ig

so the code works

but instead of going away from the object

it ends up going torwards the object

i havent tested the code yet im just saying what would end up happening if i just kept the code as it was

[slender nymph]

remember that direction is calculated as (endPosition - startPosition) so if you want it to go away from this object, then this object's position would be the startPosition

[obtuse ether]

ah alr

[obtuse ether]

so like Player.AddForce((a-b).normalized * force) ?

also how do u make ur text like that lol

[slender nymph]

`text here` to make text here

[obtuse ether]

Player.AddForce((collision.gameObject.transform.position - transform.position).normalized * KBForce);

ohhhhhhhh

tysm lol

[primal cliff]

would there be a reason I can't drag some text into the script component of an object's inspector? my script has using TMPro; at the top and this is what I'm trying to drag in, it won't let me. I've also double checked that it is a text mesh pro text I'm using & also tried to assign both the object & the text component

[obtuse ether]

gonna test out the code rq and see if this works thanks a lot to all of u who helped

i now half understand what im doing 💀

[rich adder]

if its on a prefab and ur trying to drag a scene object , if thats the case it wont work

[primal cliff]

everything related to this text is a scene object

[rich adder]

what about the objects inspector

[primal cliff]

if it changes anything, I'm not using a canvas for it (please don't ask me why...) and I just have it in the scene as you would a typical object

[rich adder]

are you sure its a UI text

oh..

[slender nymph]

that sounds like a TextMeshPro rather than a TextMeshProUGUI

[rich adder]

so you need TMP_Text // this works for both ui and non UI as its base class

[primal cliff]

ah right

[azure wraith]

Which channel do I use to ask for code help

[slender nymph]

#🔎┃find-a-channel

[primal cliff]

how would I rewrite it? Do I still keep using TMPro; at the top but just change the public TextMeshProUGUI into public TextMeshPro?

[slender nymph]

just change the variable's type to TMP_Text

[azure wraith]

I think its this channel then

[slender nymph]

it's the parent class for both TextMeshProUGUI and TextMeshPro so you can put an object of either of those types in it

[azure wraith]

ok

[primal cliff]

that's neat

I also just tried it and it works, thanks

[obtuse ether]

using this code now

and it does knockback me

but like

[rich adder]

use ForceMode.Impulse

[obtuse ether]

it only happens like 1% of the time

[obtuse ether]

oh alright

what does that do

[slender nymph]

yep, gotta make sure you're using the right forcemode. also make sure you aren't overwriting any force applied by assigning velocity each frame

[azure wraith]

I am making a simple movement system within 2D Core using Gameobject Circle and RigidBody2D

Whenever I click W, the circle doesn't move up at all. Why?

using UnityEngine;

public class PlayerScript : MonoBehaviour
{
    public Rigidbody2D PlayersRigidBody;
    void Start()
    {
    }

    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update()
    {
        if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.W) == true)
        {
            //    Debug.Log("Player clicked double U");
            PlayersRigidBody.linearVelocity = Vector2.up * 10;
        }
    }
}

[obtuse ether]

just trying to understand all of this so i can use it in future projects

[rich adder]

basically its trying to get to apply all that force over time, in One physics frame, which isn't ideal. For that case something like Impulse is best cause it applies it all at once right away

[obtuse ether]

tbh i didnt even know there were different forcemodes lol

[obtuse ether]

oh alright

[slender nymph]

1. have you made sure this component is actually attached to the object in the scene
2. if yes to 1, have you made sure you assigned the Rigidbody2D in the inspector?

[azure wraith]

this?

Its been like that

[rich adder]

heres a comprehensive list

[slender nymph]

have you confirmed that this code is actually running?

[obtuse ether]

i am going to save this lol

[rich adder]

its very handy

[azure wraith]

No, I could, however I hate how Adaptive Performance is logging 100 times a second

but ill try

[obtuse ether]

Oop

Alr its knockbacking

but like for osme reason

its always just making it go down?

and it doesnt react when you land from above???

[azure wraith]

void Update()
is properly activating every frame, but the if statement is NOT activating as it should.

[slender nymph]

note that your if statement only checks if the key was pressed this frame, so you should not see that log every single frame, only each time you start pressing W

[azure wraith]

Yeah I know, I did a debug.log within Update() and it sent a log every frame
I then removed that log and placed it into the if statement only.
Whenever I clicked W it did not send a log

[slender nymph]

do you have any errors in the console?

[azure wraith]

If you mean
⚠️
and or
🛑
then no

[obtuse ether]

wait why are you using == true

[slender nymph]

wait, you said you had the Adaptive Performance package logging things every single frame. are you using the Device Simulator to test your game? because remember, android devices do not have a W key 😉

[obtuse ether]

you can just check Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.W) cant you?

[azure wraith]

Only scene

[slender nymph]

what does that mean?

[slender nymph]

yes, but removing the == true is not functionally different in any way

[azure wraith]

The scene tab, not the simulator tab

[azure wraith]

Ill try without true

oh

[obtuse ether]

eh ig

did it work lmao

[azure wraith]

let me try

[slender nymph]

obviously that wouldn't make any difference . . .

[obtuse ether]

lol

[slender nymph]

the scene tab is not how you run the game. it is how you edit the scene. are you runnign the game with the Game view or the Device Simulator

[azure wraith]

wheres gameview

[slender nymph]

it's the tab literally called Game

do you see that or the Device Simulator when you play the game

[slender nymph]

shocking, you're using the device simulator

[azure wraith]

Uhm, I was clicking W within scene

[slender nymph]

that doesn't matter

[obtuse ether]

😭

[azure wraith]

Do I need to download some random game viewer

[slender nymph]

the scene view is not what is collecting your input. it is just showing the current state of the scene so you can edit it.

[obtuse ether]

I was gone for a bit

[slender nymph]

no, you just need to not be using the device simulator if you want keyboard input.

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

[obtuse ether]

So the issue was he was in scene view not game view?

[azure wraith]

oh

so I realized I can switch it to game

let me try noooooooooooooooooow

[slender nymph]

no, the issue is they were using the device simulator which simulates an android device, which notably does not have a W key on it

[obtuse ether]

Oh 💀

[azure wraith]

🤞

it worked

yeah uh ignore that

[obtuse ether]

Never say that again

[slender nymph]

yeah let's keep the brain rot and reaction images out of here

[azure wraith]

Yipeee

next quetsion

if I can generate one

How can I check if a gameobject is standing on a floor

[deep moon]

how efficient is new input system compared to old one?

[slender nymph]

that's commonly referred to as a "ground check" and there are probably hundreds of tutorials for how to do it. i personally recommend a physics query like a BoxCast, OverlapCircle, etc

[azure wraith]

what

[slender nymph]

i wouldn't assume there is much difference in "efficiency". what is the actual purpose of that question

[azure wraith]

are raycasts fine

[deep moon]

idk, like is there really much difference between them?

that makes one much better than the other?

[slender nymph]

a raycast is an example of a physics query, yes. though it has no width so you might want something with more volume if you want more precise ground checks

[azure wraith]

ah, I can visualize problems regarding raycasting

[slender nymph]

the differences are mainly in how they are used and the features they support. in my opinion the input system is much better and definitely worth learning over the old input manager, and that is because it has more ways to gather input, for example you can do event based input instead of manually polling for input in your own code, or you have the option of manually polling the input if you so choose. the input manager pretty much requires you to manually poll the input with no built in alternative so you either end up with worse looking code, or you end up reinventing the input system's event based approach for yourself 🤷‍♂️

[deep moon]

yeah, i just wanted to know cause idk which one is better, and also another issue i am having is that my character when it rotates, it goes back to its original facing direction when i let go wasd

and also for some odd reason, it isnt starting, its just performing and canceling

its so weird

my friend was tryna help me, and he didnt understand whats going on either

[slender nymph]

you'd have to show relevant !code

#💻┃code-beginner message

[deep moon]

whats this

[slender nymph]

read it and find out

[deep moon]

i just paste my code in there?

[cosmic dagger]

The variable name makes this more confusing. rotation is the direction, or actually the heading (also called the displacement) pointing from the transform.position to the mousePos (a-b). Mathf.Atan2 gets the angle based on the provided (x, y) value, then converts it from radians to degrees . . .

Hmm, thought I sent this a long time ago?

[obtuse ether]

I just copied the code but after reading this i now understand it lol

And wow ig the variables were just not well named lol

[cosmic dagger]

naming variables properly is a form a code commenting. the same applies to methods. You should be able to read what the method is doing based on its name and the variables within it. It helps reduce commenting all over your script . . .

[obtuse ether]

Yeah

I just copied the code of the yt tutorial and they didnt really explain too much abt it so i could only rly guess

Based off of the var names

[cosmic dagger]

It's used for the rotation, but it's not actually the rotation. that the problem with that one . . .

[slender nymph]

another fun fact about that code: the Mathf.Atan2 is not necessary! Just assign the transform.right (or transform.up depending on it's "forward" direction when not rotated) to the direction (in this case the variable rotation)

[cosmic dagger]

It's not, haha. You can easily assign the direction (heading) to the object's forward-facing direction to skip all the calculations . . .

[primal cliff]

This script doesn't seem to work, any idea why? (I've used a log to check that the method is running) I did nothing in the animator except add the animation

[rich adder]

where is the log and what is printing ?

[primal cliff]

I removed the log, it was just above the script I showed in the image and it was just a string to let me know that the method with the script inside it is being called

so I think it's an issue with the way I wrote the animator.play thing

[cosmic dagger]

How and where is this being called? We only have this single line. Can't really tell if there is anything wrong with the code . . .

[primal cliff]

does it matter? I already said that the method which contains that line is being called, I think it's just a problem with that line

It's in the Attack() method called from this script

and it's being called correctly because I put a Debug.Log in Attack() before the animator.play line, there is also nothing else in Attack() method

ahh nevermind, turned out to be a problem with the way I was using the animator

[cosmic dagger]

Did you need to provide the correct layer for the animation?

[primal cliff]

yeah, I didn't see that there was another overload so I just put 0 after the name and it worked

[cosmic dagger]

I was just reading about it . . .

[kindred iron]

IInteractable interactableObj;

if (Input.GetKeyDown(InteractKey))
{
    if (hit.collider.TryGetComponent(out interactableObj))
    {
        AudioSource.clip = InteractAudio;
        AudioSource.Play();

        interactableObj.Interact();
    }
}

InteractText.text = interactableObj.InteractSentence;
InteractText.GetComponent<CanvasGroup>().alpha = 1;

**InteractText.text = interactableObj.InteractSentence; **
it gives error when i type like that
but its ok when i write like this, why?:

IInteractable interactableObj;

if (hit.collider.TryGetComponent(out interactableObj))
{
    if (Input.GetKeyDown(InteractKey))
    {
        AudioSource.clip = InteractAudio;
        AudioSource.Play();

        interactableObj.Interact();
    }
}

InteractText.text = interactableObj.InteractSentence;
InteractText.GetComponent<CanvasGroup>().alpha = 1;

[slender nymph]

in the first example, what is the value of interactableObj when that first if statement is false

[kindred iron]

nothing ig??

[slender nymph]

exactly, it hasn't been assigned, it's not even null, it's just unassigned. you can't use something that hasn't been assigned

now of course, you'll still get NREs if the hit object doesn't even have the relevant component on it, so your other code that uses that variable should also be within the if statement. then you can just inline the variable declaration instead of declaring it separately

[kindred iron]

but why the second one works

i didnt get it

[slender nymph]

because it is being assigned in that TryGetComponent call

[kindred iron]

with using out?

[slender nymph]

yes

[kindred iron]

oh ok tysm for the help

[queen adder]

for now i only have player object "balloon" which flies upward, however later on line i wanna do another character that moves downward rather than fly upwards. Users can choose what type of player to play "balloon" or something else(smthing that moves downwards

i dont wnat to get my player input or player objects to be a cluster fuck so i was thinking in the future to have all type of character scripts in this 1 player object and have a class to handle checking what have the user chose to play and as a result i disable all other script components for other characters and enable only the character that the user chose

Is this a good smart approach?

my bad for the terrible english. it has been a tiring day, I am just writing quickly

[fleet venture]

What is the best way to store and load a prefab?

just the name?

or is there some identifier i can use to also easily get it, seems hard to get it with the name. I would just use a dictionary but that appears to not be serializable

there arent that many objects i need to use this for so a dictionary WOULD work if it showed up in the editor

[slender nymph]

there are serializable dictionary assets you can get, but what is the actual purpose of wanting to get a prefab by its name? can you not just serialize the reference to the prefab in the component you need it in?

[fleet venture]

there is a few prefabs you can choose frmo and i need to store which one you chose in a database and load from it

[fleet venture]

you mean i make one myself?

is that the best solution?

can anyone help me with my car controller 😭

why is it

flying

[wicked pulsar]

@keen rampart Can you comment out the following?

    {
        Suspension();
        GroundCheck();
        //CaculateCarVelocity();
        //Movement();
    }```
See what happens.

[keen rampart]

ok

[keen rampart]

i comment out the code

is still getting flinged

[wicked pulsar]

Okay. Try commenting out the entire FixedUpdate() method, then.

[keen rampart]

okay

[wicked pulsar]

First of all, this line: carRB.AddForceAtPosition(netForce * rayPoints[i].up, rayPoints[i].position); has me thinking about what "up" means when your car isn't right-side up. You're going to have bugs resulting from this line. Not sure it's relevant yet, but I wanted to point that out.

[rich adder]

try putting mass at like 8000 or maybe more

[keen rampart]

ok

[keen rampart]

oh ok

[rich adder]

oh those arent wheel colliders?..nvm then

[keen rampart]

stills getting yeeted

[keen rampart]

no

[rich adder]

yeah nvm that only worked for wheel collider

[wicked pulsar]

All empty objects, except 4 with renderers.

[rich adder]

it used to bounce if it was too light

yeah just realized its a raycast approach

[keen rampart]

ye

[rich adder]

yea def check your pivot points then

[obtuse ether]

aaa i just want to ask abt smth

so i have a basic enemy move script

where it just moves forward until it goes into a trigger that makes it change direction

but i also want to add a radius around the enemy where if the player is inside, it will instead target the player

[keen rampart]

the ray point?

[obtuse ether]

so i just attached a collider to a empty

but now instead of changing direction when the enemy goes inside the trigger

it changes as soon as the view range touches the trigger

[wicked pulsar]

What is a 'view range'? Is that the collider you want to use to detect the player?

[obtuse ether]

my code to make the enemy wander

[obtuse ether]

yeah

[wicked pulsar]

Check your project settings for the collision matrix. You may have some layers that shouldn't interact with each other.

[obtuse ether]

alright

[keen rampart]

I'm not too sure how to do that

[obtuse ether]

how do i check that

is that this?

[wicked pulsar]

Yes.

I'm not using this in my project, so it being filled in won't be correct for you.

[obtuse ether]

alr found the 2D

[wicked pulsar]

Which layer are your player and enemy rigidbodies on?

[obtuse ether]

both on default

[wicked pulsar]

If everything is on default, everything will detect everything.

[obtuse ether]

ohhh

[keen rampart]

also if i leave the car body out the ray points also jsut

tweak out

[obtuse ether]

first time learning abt this lol

i think i know what to do now

just need to give them diff layers right

and then tweak how they interact w each other

[rich adder]

in the scene view the arrows, click each one during playmode / paused

[obtuse ether]

so the layer of the detection can detect the player

but not the trigger that makes the enemy change direction

[wicked pulsar]

I figured. Your rigidbody2ds will also combine every collider2d in their children (not marked as trigger) to build the total "body" that they use for physics interactions, so you know.

[keen rampart]

uh so like this?

[wicked pulsar]

The simplest way around this is to have a child object of your enemy be on a separate layer.

[obtuse ether]

ah alr

[obtuse ether]

yeah thats what i was thinking

[rich adder]

uh yeah that should probably not be all the way there

[obtuse ether]

thanks a lot!

[wicked pulsar]

No problem. Also, disable everything in that matrix that you don't need - it'll save you CPU cycles. @obtuse ether

[keen rampart]

well i have the car a little up

in the air

is like normal until it touches the floor

and then it just start to fling

[rich adder]

why is it so offset in the first place?

[keen rampart]

umn wdym

[rich adder]

in playmode

[rich adder]

havent seen code but you should also put more debugs

[keen rampart]

oh ok

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

this is the code btw

[keen rampart]

im not sure but is like normal but when it collides with the ground it just starts breaking

[rich adder]

the rays supposed to turn red when grounded but its not

[keen rampart]

it does turn red but it just

lol

[rich adder]

did you copy this from tutorial or something ? maybe you messed something in the suspension code or something

[keen rampart]

yeah

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sWshRRDxdSU&ab_channel=AshDev

[rich adder]

I would look over for anything missed

[keen rampart]

it was working fine the first part

basiclly is just a temporary cube

[rich adder]

so sounds like you might've overlooked something

[keen rampart]

the suspension was working before hand

wait let me find

1s

[rich adder]

at which point did it break

[keen rampart]

after i added the car model and when i added acceleration and stuff

wait hold on

i have the first part recorded

1s

[keen rampart]

this was like the first part of the tut

i had only done the

suspension part

nothing else

[rich adder]

check your accelerationPoint is correct first

[rich adder]

I would double check if code is same. . is still broken when you only leave Suspension() ?

[kindred iron]

guys i wanna get the InteractAudioClip value if there is one in the IInteractable interface's script but idk how to do that, can yall help me?
Here's the code:

 IInteractable interactableObj;

 if (hit.collider.TryGetComponent(out interactableObj))
 {
     if (Input.GetKeyDown(InteractKey))
     {
         AudioSource.clip = DefaultInteractAudio;
         AudioSource.Play();

         interactableObj.Interact(); // Main Function
     }

[rich adder]

what is DefaultInteractAudio?

you mean inside interactable ?

[kindred iron]

no inside this class

[rich adder]

which classs

[kindred iron]

if there is no value which is called InteractAudioClip, it supposed play default pick up

[kindred iron]

interact class

should i send you to all code?

[rich adder]

what do you mean by

if there is one in the IInteractable interface's script
then

[kindred iron]

if (hit.collider.TryGetComponent(out interactableObj))

we get interactableObj

but i wanna get the script of this

interface

and this scripts InteractAudioClip sound

[rich adder]

that defeats the purpose of using the interface

[kindred iron]

wdym

[rich adder]

interface is so you just assured no matter which script implements it, you're guaranteed those methods / properties exist

[kindred iron]

so... why does it defeat the purpose of using the interface?

i didnt get it

[rich adder]

cause now you have look for a specific script

[kindred iron]

oh

so i cant take the script

right?

i have a question why IInteractable is a component and we try to get this componen then?

[rich adder]

you could but its not pretty.. why not just have a property in the interface ?

[kindred iron]

wdym

how

[rich adder]

for the sound

[kindred iron]

how tho

[kindred iron]

can u answer?

[rich adder]

in IInteractable put an AudioClip property
and you can check if the interactable provides that in the backing field

[rich adder]

I mean you could probably do an is

what does "is"?

[kindred iron]

i cant put a variable to in a interface

[rich adder]

you mean a field.. Thats why I said a property

[scenic saffron]

How do I change the distance of a vector by some amount

Found an answer

[scenic saffron]

I add to the vector the normalized vector of that vector scaled by the amount I want to change it by

[rich adder]

public interface IInteractable{
public AudioClip MySound {get;}```

```cs
public class class SomeClass : MonoBehaviour, IInteractable{
[SerializeField] private AudioClip myClip;
public AudioClip MySound => myClip; ```

if(interactableObj.MySound != null) {
AudioSource.PlayOneShot(interactableObj.MySound); //play this sound instead```

[kindred iron]

if i dont wanna add the audio in some classes

then what should i write?

[rich adder]

leave it null

[kindred iron]

public class TakeFlashlight : MonoBehaviour, IInteractable
{
    public string InteractSentence => "Pick up Flashlight";
    public AudioClip InteractAudio { get; }

like that?

or

[rich adder]

basically

personally would probably use a separate component

[kindred iron]

wdym use a different component

[rich adder]

but that can be more work / abstraction

[rich adder]

public AudioClip SomeClip
}```
or something

I guess it depends

like every other thing

[neon forum]

For the Unity UI toolkit, what should I target in my script so that upon pressing a button, the UI will disappear?

[kindred iron]

so i should make a new class for a audio?

[kindred iron]

How can i leave it null?

public AudioClip InteractAudio => null;

Like that or...?

[rich adder]

leave it null as in you don't have to assign anything to it
public AudioClip InteractAudio {get;}

[rich adder]

#🧰┃ui-toolkit

[kindred iron]

can i do it the way like i did?

or is it wrong?

[rich adder]

there is no reason to do that

[pallid heron]

starting getting these warnings and I can't find anything about this online, anyone know what might be causing this?

[dreamy moon]

anyone know how to fix this error?

[dapper mirage]

Does anyone know why I can physically see the icon of the audioSource component on the gameObject in game?

[zenith cypress]

Gizmos button in the top of the game view toolbar

Thank you :)

Hey, I got this code

            Debug.Log(Mouse.current.position.ReadValue());
            Debug.Log(sliderCorner[0].x + "corn");
            Debug.Log(sliderCorner[2].x +"corn 2");
            Debug.Log(xPos);```
Somehow xPos is always equal to the sliderCorner[0] even though the mouse position is above that, I don't understand why that is especially since the code works on another project.
Any idea why that could be?

Hello, any pros willing to help me in a thread or PM? I have some dialog script issues that was sorta working at first, but when trying to fix issues, I ended up getting less than what I had. It'll be a bit busy hence the request to do a thread/PM.

[wicked pulsar]

I’m not at home, but I could try from a restaurant.

[crystal bridge]

Lol, thank you. #respect

Dialog Disaster XD

[dapper mirage]

For some reason, the code here never gets run

{

    if (collision.gameObject.tag == "Player")
    {
        touchedPlayer = true;

        if (audioSource != null && !audioSource.isPlaying)
        {
            audioSource.PlayOneShot(roar);
        }
        rb.velocity = new Vector3(0, 0, 0);
    }
    else
    {
        Debug.Log("collided with something");
    }
}```
I want the trigger to run this code when the player touches it but the debug.log never happens

[dapper mirage]

thank you lol I had it inside the update() function

works now

[rich adder]

Wouldn't it be easier it you just download a free premade controller

[queen adder]

Also use CompareTag to check tags, it’s more performant

[dapper mirage]

oh nice theres a function for that

thank you

[rocky canyon]

i'd check that Acceleration point.. make sure its perfectly centered..
i just glanced at the code.. but looks like u got 2 forces acting on it..
an initial force.. and a reactive force.. could make it unstable..

i'd also try using lower values and see if that makes any difference.. or atleast slows it down enough for u to visually see whats going wrong

[keen rampart]

hey thank you for the help

i just realized

i forgot to freezethe x and z rotation lol

[rocky canyon]

that'll do it 😉

[keen rampart]

ye thank you :0

[rocky canyon]

if u want the cars front end to raise and dip from torque

you can get by by tilting the graphics

(in local space)

[keen rampart]

yeah i was wondering about that

since the back tire

are floating

if i go on a ram

[rocky canyon]

try playing around with the wheel collider radius' and the suspension lengths and whatnot

should be able to get the tire to just clip into the ground

[keen rampart]

okay

i will try that

[rocky canyon]

u can always scale up the wheels too 😉

the graphics ofc

[keen rampart]

ye

ok

[rich adder]

you have over a thousand errors

I accidently made a gameobject particle system that is supposed to look like dust effects when the player leaves the ground, are there ways to convert it to a component or am I cooked

[queen adder]

There is a particle system component on it

[azure wraith]

what

[queen adder]

The gameobject isnt a particle system itself, it has a particle system component on it

[azure wraith]

the system is inside the player, but it isnt a component
