But that's not a good way to handle particles, its better to keep the particle system not directly on the player object

[azure wraith]

Huh?

[queen adder]

Go to the particle object, and just drag the particle system component itself on the player object (in the hierarchy, not the scene)

its gonna automatically transfer it

[rich adder]

then what is it ?

[queen adder]

However, having the particle system on the player directly is bad, keep it on a child object

[azure wraith]

Okay,
The system is a gameobject, the parent is the Player
I don't want this, I want it as a component to the player
but I don't know how to convert it

[azure wraith]

What do you mean on the player

[rich adder]

convert what

[azure wraith]

so its fine if its parented to player?

[queen adder]

Yes, its supposed to be like that

Having the particle system be directly a part of the player as a component is a bad practice

[azure wraith]

oh so I'm lucky

[queen adder]

Do you understand how components and prefabs work?

[azure wraith]

then how am I supposed to make the particle position to the player? unless it automatically positions

idk what a prefab is but I know what a component is

[queen adder]

You have to learn more of the basics before doing anything complex

[azure wraith]

Emitting dust particles upon hitting the ground is not complex

[queen adder]

When youre a beginner it is

Not the hardest in the world, but its better to spend that time learning the foundation

[polar acorn]

Make it a child object of the player

[wicked pulsar]

Child objects always move with their parents. The "local transform" of an object is its offset with respect to whatever it is parented to. Generally, a "player" consists of one root object (the player), then all the little parts that make it up. In AAA games, this can number to well over a hundred child objects on just the player.

An object's position is actually defined as the sum of the transforms of all its parents in the hierarchy.

[calm badge]

Hey guys have you tried importing a 3D object to Android using Google's Sceneform?

[safe root]

So i'm having trouble with my code for my dash, So the character dashes, it bascally teleports to said spot instead of actually dashes. Here the footage and the code https://paste.ofcode.org/jLA8vCkPbpSq6UKgZfLQDV

[timber tide]

What do the other force modes look like? Never actually used ForceMode.VelocityChange myself

[keen dew]

well you literally have a function speedControl that limits the player speed

you'll have to not call it for the duration of the dash

[cosmic dagger]

You're moving using AddForce, but your SpeedControl method sets the velocity directly. This overwrites any force you apply to the object . . .

[safe root]

I didn't think it affected since it did work before

[timber tide]

Even if the velocity is set, seems strange to just teleport like that

[keen dew]

The "teleport" is because they've had to crank up the dash speed to do anything so it gets massive speed for one frame before the speed control function kicks in

[cosmic dagger]

I think the teleport "effect" comes from setting the velocity when they attempt to add the dash . . .

[safe root]

I see, well what would be the best way to disable that for that moment?

[cosmic dagger]

Basically, VelocityChange is assigning the velocity, but using force instead of doing it manually . . .

[cosmic dagger]

The simple solution is to return early (leave) the SpeedControl method if you are currently dashing . . .

[keen dew]

Make a boolean variable isDashing and set it to true when the dashing starts, then use a timer or a coroutine to set it to false after a few seconds. If the variable is true then don't call SpeedControl or return early

actually you could probably use the dash cooldown you already have

[safe root]

That's what I was just about to do

[cosmic dagger]

And I would use coroutines instead of the Invoke method to reset your jump and dash . . .

[timber tide]

Ah, yeah that is quite a large dash amount. Also, throwing SpeedControl into the fixed update is an idea too since it wouldn't take affect till the fixed frame anyway

[calm badge]

Hey guys have you tried importing a 3D object to Android using Google's Sceneform?

[short fjord]

Hey can anyone tell me what to look up so I can study how to make a render distance and load things in and out based on distance( I want to start making some bigger projects and figured this is a good place to start)

[keen dew]

LOD

[dapper mirage]

Hey all, I just had a quick question. How could I change a simple boolean variable in my playerControls script from a different script attached to a trigger that the player touches?

I want the trigger to detect that the player has touched it and change a value in the playerControl script accordingly

[timber tide]

DifferentScript should have a reference to PlayerControls

public class DifferentScript
{
  [SerializeField] private PlayerControls playerControls;
}```

[dapper mirage]

Okay thanks :)

so here I can just drag the gameObject that contains my playerControls script and now the trigger can reference it?

[timber tide]

yep, as long as it's part of the same prefab/scene

[dapper mirage]

Perfect, Thank you

[fleet venture]

Is it possible to change the global scale of an object. Basically if i rotate my object 45 degrees i want it to scale down and not into the rotated direction which is what currently happens. If this isnt possible its fine but i did see lossyscale which says its global but its read only

[topaz mortar]

Is MonoBehaviour.OnMouseOver() the proper way to handle hover events?
Is this extendable to other input devices like touch, controller, ...?

Hmm I probably need IPointerEnterHandler since it's UI

Same question though

[fleet venture]

uh what the fuck? how is comparing to null expensive, if i cant even do a nullcheck what am i supposed to do

[topaz mortar]

think you need something like vector3.zero, not sure what it is exactly

[fleet venture]

oh

[topaz mortar]

maybe transforms just can be null?

[fleet venture]

my IDE suggests this

ill try that ig

apparently its overloaded

that should check if the object still exists which is what i want to achieve

[timber tide]

What IDE is that? Rider?

[wicked pulsar]

@safe root Further to what others have said, your movement code breaks some conventions regarding time measurement. Generally, you want the amount of movement in your code to reflect some amount of change over time (in real time measurements, like seconds) and then multiply the final amount of movement by the amount of time that has passed since the last time the code was run. For Update, you would multiply your motion by Time.deltaTime and for FixedUpdate, you multiply by Time.fixedDeltaTime. This would be a good habit to get into.

If your fixed update loop runs 50 times per second, this would mean increasing your movement forces and velocities by 50x and then multiplying your numbers by Time.fixedDeltaTime before feeding them back to your rigidbody. This creates parity between how much stuff moves in FixedUpdate and Update.

Not directly related to your problem, and a bit of a nitpick, but something to think about. You should know that those precomputed values exist so you can structure your values around them.

[sour fulcrum]

just out of curiousity here, how is that code running if transform is null?

[fleet venture]

It’s a different transform I have a hiding field i just realized I should change that

[sour fulcrum]

Logic wise might be worth going down that line of thinking and having that code directly attatched to that object but i don't know the context so i'm sure you know best on that 👍

[hot harbor]

Is it possible to use C#'s reflection magic to avoid having to do this for every single editor I'd like to redraw/customize? As in avoid having to findPropertyByName and type out everything

[fleet venture]

Ye maybe I’ll try to look at it again and think it through

[sour fulcrum]

you can iterate through the serializedobject but thats more #↕️┃editor-extensions

at the very least if you wanna avoid spelling mistakes you could use nameof

eg. FindProperty(nameof(MyClassName._canEnterCombat)) etc.

[hot harbor]

any tips on learning more about editor extensions other than the official docs or is that hte best place

[sour fulcrum]

that thread, offical docs and just various tutorials/articles on places like medium, git and reddit have helped me a ton. a lot of the time it just comes down to knowing what you have to play with so code snippets can go a long way

[hot harbor]

Thanks!

[lethal smelt]

hi guys, does anyone know how to sync hierachy between clients when using Photon to do multiplayer, I have pickUp function that used SetParent() but the parent happen only on player thats doing the pickup side and yes i did add both Photon View and Photon Transform view the only problem is with the parenting

from what AI told me there is no Photon specific function to do parenting but it did give me this code ```public class NetworkParenting : MonoBehaviour
{
public void SetParent(GameObject child, Transform parent)
{
PhotonView childView = child.GetComponent<PhotonView>();
PhotonView parentView = parent.GetComponent<PhotonView>();

    if (childView != null && parentView != null)
    {
        Debug.Log("99999");
        // Call the RPC to set parent on all clients
        //childView.RPC("RPC_SetParent", RpcTarget.AllBuffered, childView.ViewID, parentView.ViewID);
        childView.transform.SetParent(parentView.transform);
    }
}

}```

[sour fulcrum]

dont post AI stuff here

no one is gonna help you with it

[lethal smelt]

well

[sour fulcrum]

if you don't understand your own code no one is going to be bothered

[lethal smelt]

ai was my last resort

[sour fulcrum]

if you came here after using the AI it was in fact not your last resort

[lethal smelt]

its not a problem that i dont undertand the code

just that parenting isnt workng in photon

[quick fractal]

Rider's judgement on what is and isn't expensive is.. Kinda inaccurate

Nearly everything in my Utils file is flagged as expensive, even simple stuff that just has a single nested loop

[fleet venture]

Ok

[quick fractal]

The redundancy stuff is really nice, but I don't think performance analysis is worth it to most people

[naive pawn]

it's specifically Unity.Object comparisons

[naive pawn]

well yeah nested loops are relatively expensive

keyword relatively

[naive pawn]

this is the same thing lol

[quick fractal]

Performance is pretty heavily based on how you're using it, which I wish rider picked up on

[naive pawn]

true, but i think that'd be pretty hard to make

[quick fractal]

Especially if I'm running a method once, before the player can even move

[quick fractal]

Well, Rider can pick up on Unity methods

[naive pawn]

in general for this kind of stuff, false positives are better than false negatives, so yeah, expect to find false positives

[naive pawn]

only because unity tells it about those methods

it isn't magic

[quick fractal]

💡 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

[naive pawn]

Install the bundled Unity Support plugin in Rider
yeah so this is the part where rider is informed about unity methods

and also about unity null checks being expensive, most likely

[quick fractal]

-# Yeah, It'd be nice if Unity also told rider that calling something in Start is less expensive.

[naive pawn]

well that's just not really true?

[quick fractal]

I'm not saying it should be perfect lol, I'm saying some more accurate context would be nice

[naive pawn]

context goes beyond what method it's in though

[quick fractal]

I mean, if you're calling an expensive method in Update, it's going to be far more expensive than calling it once in start

[naive pawn]

something in start being "expensive" could still be problematic if you instantiate that object frequently

[quick fractal]

Does rider not pick up on things being called frequently?

[naive pawn]

it'd be impossible to pick up on that scenario

it'd see Instantiate being called frequently, but there wouldn't be any link to any other method, since that link goes through unity serialization

[quick fractal]

I don't feel like performance analysis is a useful enough feature to warrant being more accurate than it is, but it's not as if it couldn't be done.

[naive pawn]

it's impossible to get "right" for everyone's definition of "right", though

[quick fractal]

Well, yeah, that's where customisation comes in

[naive pawn]

so, compromising middle ground is best you'll get, unfortunately

[naive pawn]

well you can already do that

[quick fractal]

[stray cosmos]

Just quick, I wanna use this function. Is it possible to put a sort of logical test in each parameter like "A=1", "B=1", "C=1"?

I feel like this is a thing but idk what it's called

[quick fractal]

I feel like we'd need a bit more context

[naive pawn]

you can't put logic directly on parameters, no

what are you trying to achieve, exactly?

[cosmic dagger]

Please explain what you're trying to do, then we can better help . . .

Unless you want default values for the parameters?

[stray cosmos]

Actually I guess I could just assign the logic to a new boolean and put that as the parameter

[naive pawn]

yeah no clue what you're talking about at this point

[stray cosmos]

I apologise I may have brainfarted

[naive pawn]

you can put, uh, conditions, as arguments

void Method(bool x);

Method(0 == 1);

if that's what you're talking about?

[stray cosmos]

Ok so that function takes in three values which are used for a save system. I bunched them together because they're supposed to be saved all at once at this one point. I essentially only want any one of those to be true if the corresponding save data for each is equal to 1

This is the function

[naive pawn]

ok and what's your intended usage of the method?

[stray cosmos]

To save the data to a json file?

[naive pawn]

i mean, how do you want to call it

[quick fractal]

Oh I see what you're doing with it, If I'm seeing it right would you not be better off with an enum?

[naive pawn]

im so confused what you're asking

[quick fractal]

It looks like a "level complete" sort of thing?

[stray cosmos]

Ideally here. I collected the values I want to test, labelled as A, B and C

[quick fractal]

Oh, you've already got an enum for it, this is confusing

[naive pawn]

what is your actual question?

[stray cosmos]

Well I just wanted to know if there was some sort of way to call the function and put something like A==1 in the first argument

[naive pawn]

yeah you can do that

by.. calling the function and putting A == 1 in the first argument

[stray cosmos]

Huhhh so you can

[naive pawn]

that's why i asked what your intended usage was lol

[quick fractal]

comparisons return a bool, so if your argument is a bool, it'll work, you can also use a.. Terminary operator..? I think it's called. If you want slightly more messy but compact arguments

[naive pawn]

because if you just said SubmitNewPatternUnlocked(A == 1, B == 1, C == 1) i couldve just told you to

[naive pawn]

ternary

[stray cosmos]

Idk I got confused

[quick fractal]

That's the one thing I just can't remember the name of lmao

[naive pawn]

you can just call it a conditional operator

[stray cosmos]

Idk why I was so sure it wouldn't allow that

[naive pawn]

because that's what it does

ternary just describes how many operands it takes

the others are unary/binary operators

[stray cosmos]

Ah well, thanks anyways, we got there in the end 😅

[naive pawn]

(you generally wouldn't use a ternary to get a bool though. you would just take/negate the condition)

@stray cosmos though, regarding design;

• if A/B/C are 0/1, why not just use bools there?
• if the 3 cases are mutually exclusive, you could just use the enum you have

[stray cosmos]

Because A, B and C aren't binary. They are how many times an attack pattern has been played, passed or perfected respectively. I'm only interested in this bool being for if any of those things happen for the first recorded time (in other words, when they're equal to 1)

I suppose I could have used that enum though lol

[naive pawn]

i feel like i understand less about what you're trying to do lmao

[stray cosmos]

I have that effect on people

It's a pretty complicated system with a lot of stuff going into it but I just tested and this does indeed do what I wanted it to do

This stuff is for stat collecting that the player can browse in their records

[fleet venture]

i found out why i check it btw its cuz of this

but it never helped

it WAS the transform

of the object itself

it says i should check if its null

how are you collaborating? unity version control? git?

[eternal falcon]

:teacher: Unity Learn ↗

[grand snow]

its probably caused by them not committing all changes needed, resulting in errors. (i presume you are using the unity ver control)

[stark prawn]

ok ty

[grand snow]

btw if you both change files you can get merge conflicts when you pull in their changes. consult google for how these work and how to resolve em

[stark prawn]

the problem is i cant update

[grand snow]

why?

[stark prawn]

it gives error

[grand snow]

😐 then share it

[stark prawn]

wdym

[kindred iron]

wdym

[grand snow]

share in this chat the error? what else would i mean 😆

[stark prawn]

ok

[naive pawn]

we can't help you solve an error if we don't know what the error actually is lmao

[grand snow]

ill guess anyway, you are probably trying to pull changes that conflict with your current file changes, so it will just cancel the pull.
You need to stash or commit your current changes to pull in the new changes (which may then result in a merge conflict)

[naive pawn]

could you be more specific with "i can't update"? what are you trying to do exactly, pull changes?

(also what rob is saying also applies to using git)

[stark prawn]

i think like that too

so i deleted the script both of us changed and get it from the update

but now i cant see his changes

[grand snow]

er usually you want to just discard the changes you have, if you delete it that wont solve it.

a deletion is also a "change"

[stark prawn]

what should i do to fix

i cant use ctrl z

[grand snow]

I have never used unity vc but I would guess there is a UI you can use to see your changes? If so see if you can discard it.

[gleaming bridge]

Hello guys, Would anyone mind helping me here, Im trying to instantiate a prefab from a scriptable object but when it does instantiate it, it loses certian game objects which are in the scene. Do i need to create a prefab for every game object i got in the scene for it to work?

For context this is how it should look

[echo kite]

how do i make peeking around the walls

[thorn holly]

So when you run the game the references disappear?

Can you show a video

[thorn holly]

That’s a very general question. First, what kind of wall peeking do you mean, like rainbow 6 siege?

[gleaming bridge]

do you want to call?

its very hard to explain on a video for me

[polar acorn]

Prefabs cannot reference objects in scenes. You will need to set those references after spawning it in

[thorn holly]

oh i misunderstood the question

[gleaming bridge]

like manually?

[polar acorn]

You could have whatever object spawns in the prefab set your variables after creating it

[kindred iron]

Guys how can i disable the lights icon?

I tried already gizmos from right up and deselected it but it still does show me

[grand snow]

click its icon in that list

then the icon should go away in scene views

[kindred iron]

oh yeah it worked ty

what does gizmo then?

[grand snow]

its the other things that get drawn in the scene view, the icons arent that

e.g. the camera frustum

[kindred iron]

oh got it

ty

[echo kite]

like call of duty

idk what rainbow 6 siege looks like

[polar acorn]

I don't know what either of those look like but if it's anything like Time Crisis, you just apply some Z rotation to the player, which your camera is probably a child of

[echo kite]

no

it locks on a wall

[red igloo]

wall mount?

[echo kite]

ye

it does that in call of duty and i liked it very much

        transform.localRotation = Quaternion.AngleAxis(-velocity.y, Vector3.right);
        character.localRotation = Quaternion.AngleAxis(velocity.x, Vector3.up);
    }
}

Weird issue im having, if i collide with an object and open my inventory, my camera starts spinning in a singular direction, would anyone be able to give a hint on what the issue could be, because if when the inventory shows, it disable camera movement from my point of view

And once you exit, it returns back to the original position

[rocky canyon]

or.. if its a rigidbody it might be external forces causing it to rotate..

because the rotation is momentarily paused when the menu is open..

may want to freeze rotations while u have the inventory open.. or maybe use isKinematic

or.. get the current rotation when u open inventory.. and keep it clamped there until u close it again

[urban marsh]

this activated a single instance of "movement"

so one press sends my character (its just a ball atm) forward a set distance

how do I get a continuous forward/sideways input

whats the "word" for that

in the code

or am I missing a line of code that makes it check for "holding" a button?

[slender nymph]

look into using GetAxis instead of polling the keys individually

[urban marsh]

sure

will do

[rich ice]

btw, == ture is pretty useless. the value you're checking is already a bool

[urban marsh]

oh

thank you

starting out sucksss

cause you dont even know what you dont know

so you just follow videos blindly until it makes sense

[slender nymph]

instead of following videos blindly, you should instead start by learning the language and then the engine. there are beginner c# courses pinned in this channel and the pathways on the unity !learn site are a good next step to learn the engine

    private bool timerRunning = true;

            // Set minutes to an absolute integer
            int minutes = Mathf.FloorToInt(elapsedTime / 60f);

            // Set seconds to an absolute integer
            int seconds = Mathf.FloorToInt(elapsedTime % 60f);

            // Set formattedTime to a string using the minutes and seconds integers
            string formattedTime = string.Format(" TIME {0:00}:{1:00}", minutes, seconds);
            timerText.text = formattedTime; // Set Timer UI text to the formattedTime string (text)
        }


        int sceneIndex = currentScene.buildIndex;
        string slope = "SLOPE " + sceneIndex.ToString();
        slopeNumber.text = slope;
    }```

[sour fulcrum]

You might want TextMeshProUGUI rather than TMPText

The latter is the base version of that class

[naive pawn]

that's perfectly fine

[cosmic quail]

all it does is prevent you from putting in 3d text though

[naive pawn]

have you tried debugging the code? just a basic debug.log before you set the text would be sufficient to verify that it's running

[dapper mirage]

those lines are being hit but they arent doing anything

[obtuse ether]

Made the enemy follow the player if its in range of its detection trigger

but when it follows the player across a gap it just kinda falls off pathetically lol

is there any way for me to check if it should be jumping across a gap?

[queen adder]

Ray casts, if the ray cast doesn’t hit anything, then it’s a gap, then you jump.

(Thats the easiest way)

[obtuse ether]

alr

[ivory bobcat]

You'd probably want to provide your implementation if you're needing help in fixing it

[naive pawn]

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/0COus_uo8_k
this might help

[obtuse ether]

alright ty

[ember gate]

how can I fix this, my character when it falls from jumping he gets dragged faster by using a downward key but for some reason he goes through the collider under it

[wintry quarry]

Make sure you're moving via physics only, and consider using continuous collision detection

[ember gate]

via physics only u mean without using rigidbody?

[wintry quarry]

I mean only via the Rigidbody

[ember gate]

https://codeshare.io/r4JLw6

this is my script for the movement

[burnt torrent]

Do any of you guys know how to get an array of the positions of every tile on a tile map?

[wintry quarry]

Turn on continuous collision detection

You would use https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.0/Documentation/ScriptReference/Tilemaps.Tilemap-cellBounds.html with https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.0/Documentation/ScriptReference/Tilemaps.Tilemap.GetTilesBlockNonAlloc.html
@burnt torrent

[ember gate]

oh nice that seems to work

thanks

[burnt torrent]

will this still return positions with no tiles in them?

Because that would not be good

[wintry quarry]

No, read the docs for what I sent

You have to use both of these

[burnt torrent]

alright i'll try it

[burnt torrent]

so this gives me all of the tiles as tilebases correct?

if so, how do I then get the world position of these?

[fleet venture]

Is it possible to give a single object in my canvas a different sorting layer than the canvas itself? or should i put that object in a separate second canvas

[wintry quarry]

The position in the array is the position within the block you requested

[wintry quarry]

No.
Yes.

[fleet venture]

okay ill do that then

i really dont understand where these are coming from

[burnt torrent]

just to be sure you mean the cell position?

which means i can get the world position through GridLayout.CellToWorld()?

[wintry quarry]

Yes

[burnt torrent]

alright i'll try it

[burnt torrent]

wait but isn't cell position a vector3?

index is just an int

[wintry quarry]

Like I said it corresponds to the position within the block you requested

If you requested from (10,10,10) to (20,20,20) the first array element in the result corresponds to 10,10,10

[devout shore]

where can i find the camera clear flags? following a tutorial on how to make a main menu but i want to change the background color

[wintry quarry]

It only exists in built in render pipeline

For URP you want to look at the background setting on the base camera

[devout shore]

oh i just selected an empty 2d template cause i didn't know what any of that meant

so am i just out of luck?

[wintry quarry]

Wdym by being out of luck

[wintry quarry]

^ if you're in URP use this

Either way you need to look at the inspector of your camera

[devout shore]

it's not there though

[wintry quarry]

Show a screenshot

[devout shore]

that was my q mb

[wintry quarry]

It's under the rendering tab or the stack tab

Forget which

[burnt torrent]

sorry for the constant questions but i'm still a bit confused, how do I actually get this cell position in the script so i can convert it to world position?

[devout shore]

ohh i found it

it was under environment

thx

[wintry quarry]

Math

[burnt torrent]

i prolly should have figured

[devout shore]

another thing though: my buttons/text appear normally in the game, but not in the editor. how can i fix that?

on this tutorial everything works fine but for some reason it doesnt for me

[wintry quarry]

You're just not looking in the right place

Double click any object in the hierarchy to center it in scene view

Or click it once and press F

[devout shore]

oh whattt

[muted helm]

does anybody know if unity has a contact email for career inquiry

i cant find one anywhere

[devout shore]

i was just extremely zoomed in for some reason without even realizing

that's one i'm gonna write down thank you so much 🙏

should be able to go on now

[slender nymph]

the canvas is just huge because it is typically 1 pixel per unit

see the documentation pinned in #📲┃ui-ux to learn how the canvas works

[rancid tinsel]

guys what is this text file that my game generated?

[slender nymph]

that is the log file

[rancid tinsel]

i have no idea where this came from and wasnt there before

oh is that because i ran the actual built version?

[slender nymph]

the editor should generate the same player log file

[rancid tinsel]

it definitely didnt before

[eternal needle]

it probably did, maybe you just werent looking in those places for it
https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.0/Documentation/Manual/log-files.html

[rancid tinsel]

looking at that, that is the directory

but the editor definitely didnt make one

im 100% sure because thats where i create my text files and i was testing them yesterday

[devout shore]

well i found another issue

i'm using a custom font which i've imported and it works great, but unfortunately when i change the outline color it changes it for all elements that use that font

i want to only change the outline for the buttons but keep the title as-is

[timid quartz]

Is there a way to set up a volume to control a skybox material? The docs are telling me to add an 'override' but skybox doesn't appear to be an option

[tribal fulcrum]

im watching a tutorial video and it has these lines of codes

but on my end its an error

it might be because the video is from 2 years ago but im not sure

[slender nymph]

compare what you have with what they have very carefully

[tribal fulcrum]

the only difference is the velocity and linearvelocityY

[slender nymph]

but also since you're using unity 6 you really only need to assign to the one axis so just remove the Vector2.up multiplication there

[slender nymph]

yes, you are using linearVelocityY when the current property to assign to the entire velocity is linearVelocity

[tribal fulcrum]

dang you saved me

thanks

theres no error anymore

[burnt torrent]

Ok, it took me a long while but I finally figured out the math behind this formula and it is successfully accounting for all the grid spaces on which I placed tiles so thank you so much for that /gen.

But there is one more thing, there is some tiles in which I have not placed that it is still accounting for, is there a way to check if the cell of a given position actually has something placed on it?

[narrow pulsar]

im extremely new to unity and im not sure what this error means

[azure wraith]

let me see the script

[narrow pulsar]

alr

following a tutorial and every time i press jump the game crashes

[azure wraith]

for the jump section
Try linearvelocity = Vector2.up jumpspeed;

[slender nymph]

https://unity.huh.how/runtime-exceptions/nullreferenceexception

[narrow pulsar]

oh thats a really useful link

does it just tell you whats wrong with every single error

[slender nymph]

not every error, but it does have a lot of useful info. the site is maintained by one of the mods here

[azure wraith]

Wait a minute

I think I understand that error

find your script in unity

hmmmmmm how do I say this

show me a picture of your script in unity

[narrow pulsar]

the side display

[azure wraith]

is the script in inspector

like is it a component

[slender nymph]

instead of guessing since you clearly barely know what to do, just let them go through the incredibly useful link that takes them through everything they need to check.

[azure wraith]

yeah on the right side where it says all the code go up until you see boxes with soundcontroller and stuff like that

[azure wraith]

nah ima do my own thang

[slender nymph]

well you're pointing them in the wrong direction anyway so good luck with that

[azure wraith]

Nice assumption

[narrow pulsar]

im gonna be using both regardless

whatever works

[azure wraith]

thanks for being open

[slender nymph]

it's not an assumption, it's a fact. you're about to have them drag a reference into the default reference slot, but that won't necessarily work, especially if they object they want to reference is in the scene

[azure wraith]

well lets see

[narrow pulsar]

so you want me to just show the components on the player?

[azure wraith]

In the playerscript yes

[slender nymph]

you need to drag the reference into the component that actually exists in the scene, yes. that is what the site i linked would be telling you. ignore the person who doesn't know what they are doing and is trying to get you to do the wrong thing

[azure wraith]

Uhm... that was literally what I was dragging him into

the assumptions go crazy

[slender nymph]

#💻┃code-beginner message
it's literally not

[narrow pulsar]

this is the entire player

death script works and i know its trying to access jump in order to play a sound every time i jump

[slender nymph]

notice how The Sound Controller says "None"

[azure wraith]

Boom

exactly

[narrow pulsar]

it plays it on entering the scene but doesnt actually play it on jumping

[slender nymph]

oh fuck off, you were trying to get them to assign a default reference.

[azure wraith]

thanks for proving what I was gonna lead him to boxfriend

[azure wraith]

still assuming?

[slender nymph]

#💻┃code-beginner message

[azure wraith]

huh?

I don't understand what you are trying to point here

[slender nymph]

i linked to your message where you were directing them to where they can drag in a default reference, not a reference on the instance of the component

those are two different things and what you were originally directing them to was wrong

[azure wraith]

I most likely knew what I was doing

[slender nymph]

and, again, instead of just guessing, just let them use the resource that was already provided to them that very helpfully walks through each step and explains what they need to do

wanting to be helpful is great! unless you don't actually know wtf you're doing and you lead people in the wrong direction.

[azure wraith]

So the error means nothing was defined right?

[slender nymph]

no, it means nothing was assigned to the reference type variable

[azure wraith]

Are you talking about the empty sound controller box?

[slender nymph]

yes. the variable theSoundController was defined in the code, but it had nothing assigned to it

[azure wraith]

Oh okay so I did know what I was talking about
I can finally sleep at night knowing I wasn't an idiot

[kindred iron]

Can someone explain me please that why a interface is a compenent?

IInteractable interactableObj;

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

[teal viper]

An interface is not a component, but a component can be(or rather implement) an interface. Unity supports finding components by interface, assuming these components implement the interface.

[kindred iron]

oh, ty bro

[azure wraith]

I'm making jump particles whenever the player jumps, the player is a circle (intended)
whenever the circle rolls, for example, 180 degrees, the jump particles will emit on top, not on the floor, I'm trying to make the particles only appear on the bottom of the player, not the local bottom of the player

Is there any efficient way to do this?

[wintry quarry]

it will be null if there's nothing there

[burnt torrent]

well it seems to still pick up those tiles

i can try looking back at my code again and seeing if I did anything wrong

[wintry quarry]

wdym by "pick up" those tiles

[burnt torrent]

their positions are still existent in the array

im gonna check back in my code to see if i did smthn wrong though

[wintry quarry]

yes but they will be null as I said

the array will be a continuous rectangle

[frosty cargo]

im trying to follow a tutorial, but ive run into an issue, and the auto fix is just going in a loop that wont fix

[wintry quarry]

go back to the tutorial and copy the code properly

because you didn't

[frosty cargo]

ohh

im so confused

😭

[wintry quarry]

what are you confused about

[frosty cargo]

i dunno how to copy the correct code properly and put it in the right spot

[wintry quarry]

put it exactly how they have it in the tutorial

don't change anything

that's all

copy

[frosty cargo]

thats what im doing

[wintry quarry]

You didn't do it correctly

double check it and try again

[wintry quarry]

I can assure you there is no tutorial that wrote code like this

[frosty cargo]

exactly the same thing i wrote

[wintry quarry]

Not even close..?

This is your code

[frosty cargo]

oh yeah the second public void is the result of the auto fix

[wintry quarry]

auto fix of what? Copy the code as it is written and there will be nothing to auto fix

[frosty cargo]

this is what it looks like rn

not the old one

[wintry quarry]

ok you need to start by actually reading what that error message says

[burnt torrent]

i didnt really know what to do with this information but using TileMap.HasTile worked like a charm.

Thank you so much for helping me and being patient as well ♥️

[wintry quarry]

if (tileArray[x, y, z] != null) basicallyt

[burnt torrent]

ah

[wintry quarry]

You cut off the error message in your screenshot @frosty cargo

mouse over it to read it

That's a lot of typing to just copy the error here

[frosty cargo]

The type 'Gun' cannot be used as type parameter 'T' in the generic type or method 'Object.Instantiate<T>(T)'. There is no implicit reference conversion from 'Gun' tp 'UnityEngine.Object'.

[wintry quarry]

Your problem is not in this script then. Your problem is in the Gun script. You didn't copy that one properly.

[rich adder]

sounds like Gun is a poco

[frosty cargo]

wait so what does that mean i need to do?

[wintry quarry]

you need to open the Gun script

and look at it

and compare it to the tutorial

and copy it properly

[frosty cargo]

the tutorial hasnt done anything with the gun script yet

[wintry quarry]

then keep watching the tutorial

until they do

[frosty cargo]

okay

[wintry quarry]

but why was it created as a plain class here

seems the tutorial created the script

and they probably created it from Unity as a MonoBehaviour, which you did not

[wintry quarry]

Use ParticleSystem.Emit

[frosty cargo]

oh yeah forgot to tell you, but it fixed itself when he got to working on the gun script like you said so yeah thanks

[azure wraith]

Ive done that, a long time ago. I'm talking about the positioning of the particles

[wintry quarry]

ParticleSystem.Emit allows you to position the emitted particles however you please.

[azure wraith]

huh???

let me check then

[wintry quarry]

It takes a parameter of this type: https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.0/Documentation/ScriptReference/ParticleSystem.EmitParams.html
which allows you to set the position as well as tons of other things. Check the docs https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.0/Documentation/ScriptReference/ParticleSystem.Emit.html

[tribal fulcrum]

can someone help me understand why i cant drag the obstacle into the slot

[wintry quarry]

because it's not a GameObject

looks like it's a Sprite

A sprite is just an art asset

[tribal fulcrum]

ok

[wintry quarry]

You're probably meant to be dragging a prefab into there

are you following a tutorial?

[tribal fulcrum]

yeah i am

[wintry quarry]

The tutorial should be covering this

[tribal fulcrum]

and youre right im trying to do a prefab

[wintry quarry]

to make a prefab you can drag that sprite into the scene, which will create a GameObject with a SpriteRenderer attached

then drag that object from the scene into the project folder

that will create the prfab

then you can delete the one in the scene

and use the prefab

[azure wraith]

when I did that it worked, however it now conflicts with the emission shape, it used to produce particles around an arc but now it only produces at the given position

[wintry quarry]

https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.0/Documentation/ScriptReference/ParticleSystem.EmitParams-applyShapeToPosition.html does this work?

[azure wraith]

Yes but now the rotation of the particles are relative to the rotation of the player

[wintry quarry]

isn't that another setting?

#✨┃vfx-and-particles

[tribal fulcrum]

ok thanks i got that to work

does anyone know what i did incorrectly?

[wintry quarry]

you spawned an obstacle every frame in your code

presumably.. you didn't share your code but that's what it looks like

[tribal fulcrum]

yeah i know its like that

i should probably clarify im following a tutorial by every single thing of code

this is what im comparing it to

[wintry quarry]

Yeah the tutorial does exactly the same

and has tons of pipes spawning too

did you listen to what the tutorial person said?

[tribal fulcrum]

i feel like i am but our obstacles are spawning differently

[wintry quarry]

you didn't set up your prefab the same way

or you didn't put your spawner in the same place

[tribal fulcrum]

ohhh i rewatched it and i realize i didnt do it correctly

thanks for pointing it out i didnt prefab right

[vagrant pendant]

if you wanted to re-create the Stardew Valley fishing "minigame" would you use UI elements or regular 2D game objects?

https://forum.makecode.com/t/fishing-mini-game-ui-like-stardew-valley/8258 (GIF of what the minigame looks like is in this link)

[swift elbow]

i would use UI

[wintry quarry]

maybe the latter but then rendered in UI via RawImage?

eh, probably just UI yeah

[swift elbow]

UI just feels like the simplest apporach

[vagrant pendant]

any reason for one vs the other? I got a similar mini game created using UI Elements (Images in particular)

yeah it was fairy simple to get going

[wintry quarry]

Ui elements are easier to lay out in terms of screen position, size, and distances from screen edges etc, as well as within itself

it's made for relative layouts.

Whereas with sprite renderers you basically... need to build that whole system yourself

[silent vault]

Hello, I have an issue with Unity where when I activate a mesh which was already in the scene from the start, Unity creates instance of all its materials instead of using the sharedmaterials

I would need to use the sharedMaterials directly in the inspector (this is to allow me to quickly change original materials in the project)

Currently, I have to drag and drop all the original materials back in the materials array of the inspector to be able to edit the original materials easily.

Is there no way to modify the original materials in the inspector at runtime ?

[hot harbor]

Is hot reload work in a similar way as assembly definitions do? Where they define that only the scripts changed will be recompiled or something

[chilly vigil]

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
public class EnemyAI : MonoBehaviour
{

private Pathfinding1 pathfinding;
private Vector3 startingPosition;
private Vector3 roamPosition;

private void Awake()
{
    pathfinding = GetComponent<Pathfinding1>();
}

private void Start()
{
    startingPosition = transform.position;
    roamPosition = GetRoamingPosition();
}

private void Update()
{
    pathfinding.MoveTo(roamPosition);

    float reachedPositionDistance = 1f;
    if (Vector3.Distance(transform.position, roamPosition) < reachedPositionDistance) {

        roamPosition = GetRoamingPosition();
    }
}

is what i get plus the npc not roaming around randomly althought the video makes me prefab the enemy

[wintry quarry]

looks like ppathfinding is null

which means this: pathfinding = GetComponent<Pathfinding1>(); returned null - which means you don't have that script attached to the same GameObject as this one.

Hello, i would like to ask if it's better to use a character controller or regular rigid body and stuff for parkour physics

If you want it to be physics accurate, probably an rb.

Yeah and with that i can even change up the hit box with custom colliders

Rather than the capsule

[neon forum]

trying to 2d raycast and hit an obj in the game but it's not doing anything

        if (hit.collider != null)
        {
            Debug.Log("Target Position: " + hit.collider.gameObject.transform.position);
        }```

[timber tide]

Debug the mouse position and world point to see if it's getting any values

Ah, what could be happening too is the ray's origin is probably spawning inside of the collider plane so maybe add a unit or two in the up direction to the origin

[neon forum]

so a flat +2?

[timber tide]

https://discussions.unity.com/t/unity-2d-raycast-from-mouse-to-screen/520480/3
People saying putting a zero vector direction makes the ray instead consider what it's intersecting at that point

[neon forum]

zero vector direction does nothing

[timber tide]

The thread has a few other considerations so worthwhile to go over it

[neon forum]

ok

[wintry quarry]

For a mouse intersection you usually want Physics2D.GetRayIntersection

Not Raycast

[slender sundial]

im trying to make a scene where after reaching a certain y-cord and staying at it for 3/4 of a second, an animation plays. I've made the code and animator controller work (I can send proof of it if you need) but when the trigger happens and it goes to the state that the animation clip is in the animation just doesn't play. does anyone know what's wrong?

[neon forum]

ok I'll try that

[sour fulcrum]

someone already helped you with this?

[hot harbor]

Does the generic T type not support getting the fields on the instance of said type? But the "Type" type can do this?

[neon forum]

how would I be able to view what I hit?

[wintry quarry]

From the RaycastHit2D like always?

[neon forum]

oh right lol

[wintry quarry]

Example of what doesn't work?

[neon forum]

just a different declaration

[hot harbor]

the screenshot is someone talking about being able to use reflection to copy fields of a scriptable object to a copied instance of it, and he mentioned how specifically casting

Type type = Base.GetType();

was needed

[wintry quarry]

That's not a cast

that's calling GEtType()

[hot harbor]

Ah my bad

[wintry quarry]

you have to call GetType on an object to get its type

[hot harbor]

Makes sense

Thanks!

[slender sundial]

i never ended up figuring it out

[neon forum]

RaycastHit2D hit = Physics2D.GetRayIntersection(new Ray(Vector2.zero, Camera.main.ScreenToWorldPoint(Input.mousePosition))); this still isn't producing anything, am I doing it correctly?

[hot harbor]

Does T not already tell us what type the object is, though?

[wintry quarry]

You can't write MyScriptiableObject.GetFields() just like you can't write T.GetFields()

You could do typeof(MyScriptableObject).GetFields() or typeof(T).GetFields()

[wintry quarry]

That ray is not correct

use Camera.main.ScreenPointToRay(Input.mousePosition) to create the ray

[neon forum]

got it, thank you

[hot harbor]

I see, so it needs to get the fields from the object's Type not the object then

[wintry quarry]

yes...

GetFIelds is a method on Type

it's not a method on anything else

[neon forum]

it's still not posting anything to the console...

[hot harbor]

thanks

[wintry quarry]

what are you expecting to be logged?
What object are you expecting to be hit?
What does the code look like now?

[neon forum]

What I'm expecting to be logged is whatever the ray is colliding with.
The object I'm expecting to hit is a tile(game object that was spawned with a grid code).
Current code:

    {
        RaycastHit2D hit = Physics2D.GetRayIntersection(Camera.main.ScreenPointToRay(Input.mousePosition));
        Debug.Log(hit.ToString());
        if (hit.collider != null)
        {
            Debug.Log("Target Position: " + hit.collider.gameObject.transform.position);
        }```

the tiles DO have box colliders

[wintry quarry]

The object I'm expecting to hit is a tile
Can you show the inspector for a tile?

(it also probably makes sense to log the name of the object you hit)

[neon forum]

(yeah that's true, let me edit that)

... why did it become a png

okay I split it

[wintry quarry]

wait what is this OnMouseDown for?

This should be in Update

which object is this code on?

[neon forum]

oh

the object the raycast code on is on a gamecontroller object(not the tile)

[wintry quarry]

yeah OnMouseDown is only going to run if the gamecontroller itself has a collider and you click on the game controller

[neon forum]

oh duh

yeah that fixed it lmao

[prime chasm]

I started trying to learn C# and Unity a little while ago and I had an idea of something I wanted to make to experiment with and I can't find any resources online about it so I wanted to ask if anyone has a suggestion of how I should go about implementing my idea. It's pretty simple, I just want to make player movement similar to that of West Of Loathing since I really like the way that game handles movement. In West Of Loathing you can move back and forth as well as left and right like a 3d game but the camera is side-scrolling and the sprites are 2d. I particularly like how the shadows of the characters and objects work but I'm not even sure if I should try to make this in a 3d project or a 2d project so if anyone would be willing to help me figure out how I can start getting the desired result I would greatly appreciate it.

[wintry quarry]

there is no difference between a 2d project and 3d project except for the list of which packages are installed at the start

[prime chasm]

oh that's good to know thank you

[wintry quarry]

a quick google for that game shows it appears to be a pretty typical 2D game with sprites

I see it has a cute shadow thing going on in some scenes

[prime chasm]

yeah its just 'cause I was confused since in the game you can move back and forth which I thought was only possible in 3d

[wintry quarry]

not sure how they did that exactly

[wintry quarry]

Unity is always 3D

but - the style of movement you're talking about has been around in 2D "beat-em-up" games since the 80s

[prime chasm]

yeah

[wintry quarry]

e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rTy6NS7Bciw

[prime chasm]

I see what you mean yeah

So it should be relatively simple to implement I suppose?

[wintry quarry]

yeah - the movement part

the shadow thing is a different story

[prime chasm]

alright thank you so much for the help

[wintry quarry]

You mean these shadows right?

Or something else?

[snow warren]

hey guys

need some help

is there any script for camera which mimics breathing effect

like when breath in camera goes up and to the right side a little bit randomly

and when breathe out it comes onto the normal position???

[verbal dome]

Are you using cinemachine or not

[snow warren]

scripting i guess

lol

randomly moving camera

[verbal dome]

You can rotate your camera additively after you calculate its rotation each frame

You can use Mathf.Sin and/or Mathf.PerlinNoise to get some movement, for example

[snow warren]

any examples i can follow?

[verbal dome]

Well I suppose you can google "view bobbing"/"camera bobbing" or just additive camera animations in general

[snow warren]

ohk

[verbal dome]

Show your current camera code?

If you modify thet camera every frame, you can do something like ```cs
void LateUpdate()
{
// Update base camera rotation and position here first

// Now apply additive rotations
float sin = Mathf.Sin(Time.time * speed);
camera.transform.Rotate(sin * angleMultiplier, 0, 0);

}```

This rotates it on its local X axis which makes it bob up and down

[topaz mortar]

GameObject itemGO = Instantiate(IFGameManager.Instance.itemPrefab, new Vector3(0, 0, 0), Quaternion.identity, emptySlot.transform);
Why is this instantiating my object at a completely different position (I think it's the player's position)

[teal viper]

It doesn't. It should instantiate at 0 0 0 in world space

[topaz mortar]

oh, it's a UI element

[teal viper]

Are you sure you're looking at it's world position and not local position?

[topaz mortar]

work perfectly like this:
GameObject itemGO = Instantiate(IFGameManager.Instance.itemPrefab, emptySlot.transform);
Guess the Quaternion messes up the position somehow

I'm looking at the transform in the inspector

It was instantiating at -1500, -1000 and the values changes as my player moved

[teal viper]

The inspector is showing local position.

[topaz mortar]

dunno, it's showing 0, 0, 0 now and it doesn't change

[teal viper]

000 means that it's at the same position as the parent. And it wouldn't change even if the parent is moving.

[teal rapids]

What do you think the better naming scheme for enemy classes are:
Suffix:

• BaseEnemy
• SlimeEnemy
• SpiderEnemy
  Prefix:
• EnemyBase
• EnemySlime
• EnemySpider

Here's my thoughts:

• Suffix reads better for natural-language
• Prefix better for IDE autocomplete
• Looking at Unity collider variants names (BoxCollider, SphereCollider, CapsuleCollider) they use suffix

[topaz mortar]

I prefer prefix, since I need to constantly find them in my code

you could also just go with Enemy, Slime, Spider

[sour fulcrum]

i think suffix works nicely when you do more layers of inheritence eg.

BaseEnemy
SlimeEnemy
FireSlime

[teal rapids]

That's a good point, otherwise for prefix I think it'd have to be verbose like EnemySlimeFire. Basically it reads backwards in natural language (Fire Slime Enemy)

[safe root]

Is there a way to make a OnCollisionEnter or OnTriggerEnter (Collision) and be able to set what collision that would be?

[sour fulcrum]

this?
https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.0/Documentation/ScriptReference/Physics.OverlapSphere.html

[safe root]

Yes, thank you

[safe root]

Wait, no. I make it a Collision but that still doesn't work

[sour fulcrum]

you have shown me a screenshot that reflects nothing about the link i sent you

[safe root]

What do you mean? I'm trying to use the public Collider on the OntriggerEnter so I can set what the collider is suppose to be but it's not working

[eternal needle]

This is not how parameters or defining a variable works. It still needs to take a Collider other as the parameter. You can just compare other and Radius to see if it's the same object, then do your logic

[snow warren]

i trying like a lerp

breathing effect

i am using lerp to interpolate from end to start position for camera

this is my code

public class CameraBreathe : MonoBehaviour
{
    [SerializeField]
    private bool isBreath = true;

    [SerializeField]
    private float MinHigh = 0.8f;

    [SerializeField]
    private float MaxHigh = 0.9f;

    [SerializeField]
    [Range(1f, 10f)]
    private float freakness = 1f;

    private float movement;
    void Update()
    {
        if(isBreath)
        {
            movement = Mathf.Lerp(movement, MaxHigh, Time.deltaTime * 1f * freakness);
            transform.localPosition = new Vector3(transform.localPosition.x, movement, transform.localPosition.z);

            if (movement >= MaxHigh - 0.01f)
            {
                isBreath = !isBreath;
            }
        }
        else
        {
            movement = Mathf.Lerp(movement, MinHigh, Time.deltaTime * 1f * freakness);
            transform.localPosition = new Vector3(transform.localPosition.x, movement, transform.localPosition.z);

            if (movement <= MaxHigh + 0.01f)
            {
                isBreath = !isBreath;
            }
        }
    }
}```

all it does is that once it goes to the max height

it stops

and waits for some time

[scenic notch]

Why can't i access the public variable "isAlive" from the player script?

using UnityEngine;

public class PipeScript : MonoBehaviour
{
    public LogicScript player;

    void Start()
    {
        player = GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag("Player").GetComponent<LogicScript>();
    }


    void Update()
    {
        if (player.isAlive)
        {
            //do something
        }
    }
}

[snow warren]

and instantly jumps to the Min Height

when i want it to go from Min to High and then High to Min

how to fix it?

[scenic notch]

fixed it

[snow warren]

[onyx cove]

Hello,
I'm making a build for an AR scene, and these warnings show up. Does anyone know how I can fix them?

[topaz mortar]

rectTransform.position = new Vector3(0, 0, 0);
This doesn't set the position to 0 somehow? It's a UI element.

[teal viper]

It does. How are you confirming it?

[teal viper]

This is relative to the anchor.

[topaz mortar]

How do I set it to 0/0/0

[teal viper]

Use the properties of RectTransform

[topaz mortar]

so I just need anchoredPosition instead of position?

[teal viper]

Probably. What do the docs say?

[topaz mortar]

Go read them if you don't know 🙂

[teal viper]

It's not me having the problem

[real thunder]

I can of course do that manually but is there a perhaps a method to display seconds into min:sec 99:99 format?

nvm, TimeSpan.ToString(@"mm:ss") seem to work

[covert flower]

https://scriptbin.xyz/dipasofayi.cs

Could someone help me with the issue here, Id like to try make it so that the enemies get back up where the ragdoll finished

ignore some of the other glitchy aspects

[real thunder]

teleport the agent to the ragdoll via code

[covert flower]

Ah my idea to fix it before was to teleport the Rigidbody to the parents and it only made it more buggy. Ty

[real thunder]

maybe NavMeshAgent.Warp I am not sure

[covert flower]

how would I teleport it to multiple rigidbodies without breaking the code

im unsure how to do that

[timber tide]

what's wrong? The agent is disjointed from the ragdoll?

If you're using unity's pathfinding you need to disable the agent when you use any sort of rigidbody when applying physics

[covert flower]

I believe so. The ragdolls children move but the parents dont, however when i telported it to the parent object it broke

[covert flower]

ohhh let me try this

[timber tide]

a* pathfinding project is better at this stuff

free version may be enough if you wanted to look into it

[real thunder]

how is it better?

[timber tide]

it works out of the box with rigidbodies

[real thunder]

I got so used that nothing works out of the box with unity...

except rendering I guess

[timber tide]

Unity's agent controller requires a lot of custom logic since it'll always override forces

[real thunder]

yeah I was about to start making my solution where it's only used for pathfinding

let alone trying to do "local avoidance" described at A* asset

[timber tide]

local avoidance is pretty non-existent with navagents

[real thunder]

default pathfinding is sad

[timber tide]

you can do some hacky stuff making agents also obstacles to kinda get it to work but it's pretty bad

[real thunder]

not pathfinding but agents

[timber tide]

https://arongranberg.com/astar/documentation/stable/localavoidance.html
Meanwhile it's pretty much solved with a* project

[covert flower]

this didnt work

[timber tide]

You probably need to start a new path too after enabling the agent, assuming the agent is actually parent to the ragdoll mesh

[real thunder]

I am very hesitant to use anything made by not Unity but I guess it would be very annoying for me to do anything like that

[covert flower]

could you give me an example of how to do this

[teal viper]

If you want to combine physics and navigation movement, you'll need to get rid of the agent and handle moving along the path manually.

[timber tide]

NavAgent and Rigidbody on the same parent gameobject. When you apply a force to the rigidbody -> turn off navagent. Once you decide a point where the zombie should get up, enable the navagent again and calculate a new path.

[real thunder]

he just want the agent to ragdoll and back transformation as I understand

[covert flower]

nah i just want the ragdoll to play, then when the ragdoll ends it resumes back to no physics.

[covert flower]

the rigidbodies are on all of the bones

I used the Unity ragdoll feature

[timber tide]

Sure, but the root of it all moves with it and that's what the agent should be on

[covert flower]

I think it should already do this

hold on lemme try something i might get it

[timber tide]

turn on gizmos and make sure everything is moving with each other

[covert flower]

as i thought the problem is that only the rigidbodies move and the parent components dont

I need to get the parents to effectively follow the ragdoll

[real thunder]

first thing I myself would try is to disable the agent on start and teleport it in the end to the main RB child

that's what you said, yeah...

[covert flower]

OMGGG tyyy

[real thunder]

don't make me feel bad

[covert flower]

i think you just told me how I was having it be so buggy before

I didnt realise ty

The nav mesh was causing it to glitch so much when it teleported

now ive forgotten what the code i Used before was TwT

[real thunder]

ok I am now confused but if you solved issues I glad

[covert flower]

it might be fixed however ive gotta test first

[timber tide]

I'd feel like sticking the agent on the root of the skinmesh render would be fine, but maybe I'm mistaken how the ragdoll is moving

[real thunder]

I hope you are teleporting the agent itslef, not the gameobject
there is a difference right?

[covert flower]

Theres other components that i need to move

should I instead put those components on the root of the ragdoll?

[real thunder]

ah right right right I figured

yeah I can see how it can get screwed on teleportation

[covert flower]

theres a trigger collider and another one that Also dont move as well as the nav mesh agent

[real thunder]

yeah I think this is what you should do

so mesh and agent have the same relative positions always

this seems more complex than I initially thought

and you would also need some interpolation logic I guess

anyway I think there are guides on youtube to do ragdoll>agent

[bitter apex]

So I have a game state manager object that persists in all scenes, and is initially created when you first load up the game. This means I can't assign something in the inspector immediately when it doesn't exist yet and will only exist in a different scene (I think?). I've been trying to get one of the buttons that are on my screen but it seems to keep saying that Object Reference is not set to a reference of an object.

UIButtonToggles digButtonScript = GameObject.FindWithTag("DigButton").GetComponent<UIButtonToggles>();```

It's the GameObject.FindWithTag("") bit that is the problem, but I have no idea how to do it otherwise

I've tried it with just .Find() but that hasn't worked either

I also just tried this cs UIButtonToggles digButtonScript = GameObject.Find("Canvas").transform.Find("DigButton").GetComponent<UIButtonToggles>();
but that didn't work either. I feel like I'm just misunderstanding how buttons work or something

[visual linden]

I feel like I'm just misunderstanding how buttons work or something
Not that, necessarily, but maybe architecturally you're approaching it in a not so ideal way

What exactly are you trying to do?

[bitter apex]

I apologise, yeah I think I've just been doing things in the wrong way. Turns out I was trying to find the wrong thing anyways and I managed to sort it out 🤦‍♂️

I'm not trying to make anything pretty I just wanted it to function and it was a logic thing, rather than a syntax thing

thank you

[visual linden]

Well it's less about making something pretty and more about making life easier for yourself. Setting things up "Correctly" helps reduce the chance of bugs, on top of all other benefits like better performance, faster iteration etc.

Glad you got your issue sorted though :)

[bitter apex]

Yeah I don't disagree, structuring my code better would definitely have helped but I'm rushing through this as I have a deadline for my game to meet soon, it's just a little project that I need to do for school. I initially realised that what I was doing now was going to become a problem so I came up with a solution, and then forgot I made that solution

[covert flower]

I have an issue where if the nav mesh is on the parent it causes 0 errors and works fine as movement. but when ive moved it to a child object it now comes uo with set destination can only be called on an active agent placed on a nav mesh

[shy cairn]

Anyone know a good way to fill in attribute values of a prefab after instantiation?

When I drag and drop a prefab, I get reference errors, I have a script that fills in these attributes but I still get the reference errors

[hexed terrace]

Have a component on the prefab which the spawner passes the relevant references to. Have either properties (getter/ setter) or methods which allow you to set the values from another class.
Don't spawn as a GameObject spawn as this component, so you get the reference to it straight away (no need to do getcomponent).

MyFancyComponent newlySpawnedObject = Instantiate(prefab);
newlySpawnedObject.Reference1 = someReference;
newlySpawnedObejct.Player = player;

[shy cairn]

okay thank you, im going to try it this way and see if I can solve the problem

[hexed terrace]

You'll need MyFancyComponent on the root of the prefab

[ripe shard]

you just saved the world from a bunch of singletons ❤️

[fervent abyss]

hey guys

so i have a vr game with hand grabbing locomotion, where you have to grab the floor in order to move, and it modifies rigidbody velocity using the hand position

but the issue is that whenever some object in the map with a collider pushes down on the player from above, the player is pushed out of the map (obviously)

how can i try to make so the player stays in the map? i thought that i should write some collider kind of thing using raycast or something?

playerRigidbody.velocity = playerRigidbody.velocity + (handLastPosition - handTransform.position) / Time.fixedDeltaTime;

[fervent abyss]

the objects are moved by modifying the position, they are not physics based

[cosmic dagger]

Input.mousePosition only returns the x, y axes. You need to create a Vector3 using those values with a the z position (depth of the camera), and use that variable instead . . .

[sage peak]

I doubt that this is code, but can someone tell me why my colliders dont work?!

[cosmic dagger]

What do you mean by, "don't work." What is not happening that you expect to. It's best to explain what is going wrong when asking for help . . .

[sage peak]

My bad, They... dont work?????

I just clip through the object like the collider isnt there

[cosmic dagger]

Clip through which object?

[sage peak]

The table

[cosmic dagger]

How are you moving the player?

[sage peak]

First person, WASD and Arrows

[hexed terrace]

the controls aren't relevant

[sage peak]

If thats what you mean 😬

[hexed terrace]

what code moves it

[shy cairn]

hey carwash, just to make sure, Instantiating the prefab return a gameobject type so I am getting cannot convert gameobject to component error. did you mean something like this? GunDataIntake gunspawn = Instantiate(selectedItem.prefab.GetComponent<GunDataIntake>());

[hexed terrace]

no, that is wrong. Show the code where you declare your prefab..

[cosmic dagger]

Do you manipulate (set) the transform, set the velocity, use AddForce, or a CharacterController?

[hexed terrace]

You do not want to do
[SerializeField] private GameObject myPrefab;

You want to do
[SerializeField] private GunDataIntake myPrefab;
GunDataIntake gunspawn = Instantiate(selectedItem.prefab);

[shy cairn]

Would you by any chance know why I get the error: ""UnassignedReferenceException: The variable recoilTransform of ShootMechanics has not been assigned.
You probably need to assign the recoilTransform variable of the ShootMechanics script in the inspector"" straight after instantiating the object into the scene. The fields are correctly filled out in inspector thanks to my script but for some reason I still get that error. The error only comes up once after instantiation, after unpausing the game I dont get it anymore, making me believe that the error is being thrown before I get the chance to assign the attribute values. thank you

[hexed terrace]

because you're tyring to use something before it's assigned... at a guess

probably in Awake or something

hello, im new to unity and im trying to make a turn based rpg could u please help me? i just made the system and works everything except that idk how to make the two characters chose their action and then the turn order kicks in instead i just made that based of whos the faster decide who act first and after selecting a move it get used instantly and its the turn of the other character and so on untill the gameover. how can i make it pokemon like or like game with multiple party member like in final fantasy where you select for each a move and then the action order its mixed btw enemy party member etc...

[subtle hedge]

can i get help with this please ?

[soft creek]

Hello, i have a block that i want to eliminate only when the player collide with it, how i can do it?

[polar acorn]

When it collides with something, check if that "something" is the player.

[rich adder]

maybe look into ProjectOnPlane I think..

[soft creek]

public void OnTriggerEnter (Collider target)
{
Debug.Log("Entered");
}

I have this, but how i can instantiate the player?

[polar acorn]

1. Does that log print
2. Wait, Instantiate? That seems to be not what you asked for initially, what do you actually want to happen in this collision?

[rich adder]

Are you sure "instantiate" is what you want to do ? the original didn't sound like you want to instantiate

[soft creek]

reference sorry

[polar acorn]

There are many ways you can identify the player. Tag, layer, component, reference equality

[soft creek]

i want to know how i can identificate the player collider and no other colliders

[soft creek]

yes, this log prints

[rich adder]

https://unity.huh.how/references/getcomponent-methods

You can also use tags, but its much easier to check for a component.

[soft creek]

I have this and this code: using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class ExampleClass : MonoBehaviour
{
void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other)
{
if (other.CompareTag("Wall"))
{
Destroy(other.gameObject);
}

}

}

I'm trying to create a 3d biome map texture in code and was looking at how minecraft generates their biome map, and they seem to zoom a lot

Try logging other.gameObject.tag before the if statement and see what you're hitting. Also, !code

can someone explain how I can limit velocity in a character controller

im new to unity

[soft creek]

ok, it worked, Thank you very much

[polar acorn]

The character controller moves by whatever ammount you pass to .Move. If you don't want that to exceed a certain value every frame, you can use ClampMagnitude on the value you want to pass to Move to limit it to a maximum distance.
https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.0/Documentation/ScriptReference/Vector3.ClampMagnitude.html

[hardy hedge]

@polar acorn thaanks I appreciate it

[wintry dew]

Is there a better way to make a new "type" of game object rather than making a tag and setting my certain "type" of game object to that tag?

[dense badge]

anyone know how to fix this

this is a new project

[rich adder]

thats what components are for

[dense badge]

just created it

[rich adder]

#💻┃unity-talk

this is a code channel

[dense badge]

oh sorry

[west radish]

I'm not really sure what you mean by a new type of game object, can you give an example?

[polar acorn]

Hit ignore, look at compile errors, then fix them

Chances are a package is out of date

[wintry dew]

Like for example let's say i want to make a bunch of "room" objects, but they all are different types of rooms right. But i want to be able to access all objects of type room. Would i need to make an interface?

[polar acorn]

Inheritence

[rich adder]

Interface also could work

[wintry dew]

Hmm but how would i access them from other scripts in like different scenes

[west radish]

an interface could work, or you could do

public class Room : MonoBehaviour {}

public class CornerRoom : Room {}
public class StraightRoom : Room {}
public class TJunctionRoom : Room {}```

[wintry dew]

Would i also need to make it be singleton or sm i saw that somewhere

[rich adder]

do you know what singleton is for?

[wintry dew]

Is when you only need one script right

I would only need one room script ig

[polar acorn]

Why would you need to access it from another scene?

[rich adder]

kinda. its for ideally keeping 1 instance that easy to reference/access

[wintry dew]

Oh i see

[polar acorn]

You'll only ever have one room in the whole game? Then why do you need a script for it

[wintry dew]

Let's say i want to instantiate a room from multiple scenes

With the same script

[polar acorn]

Prefabs

[wintry dew]

That's what I'm perplexed on

Oh so i would make a room prefab?

[rich adder]

Pretty much

[wintry dew]

Or every type of room prefab as well

[rich adder]

depends what you plan on adding to room that others wont have in prefab

[wintry dew]

So if i have a lot of different rooms that all share the features of a "room" its possible to get by only using the general "room" prefab?

[rich adder]

should be fine yea

[wintry dew]

Alright thanks guys

[west radish]

a quick solution could be if make a Resources folder, you can easily access objects inside that. I can write GameObject decoration = Resources.Load<GameObject>("Prefabs/Deco0"); from any script and it will load the object at the path

[wintry dew]

Ohh that's handy

[rich adder]

I'd opt for Addressables if you plan on going the load by file route

its the newer system

[west radish]

oh?

[rich adder]

Resources can get slow if you start loading up too much stuff into it

[wintry dew]

I'll have to learn that then

[rich adder]

Basically Resources just Packs everything into one giant file in Build key/value type deal.. so imagine the bigger resources folders get, the bigger the file, the slower the lookup

Addressables skirts this by you accessing the resource directly at an address

[wintry dew]

That's pretty cool then

[ripe matrix]

hello, ive been trying to make a multiplayer game. i wish to have crosshairs be displayed over and follow every gameobject with the tag "Player" in the view of the camera of each player. how would i do that?

[rich adder]

that question sounds unrelated to multiplayer, but if so.. if you don't even know how to search scene for such objects, why are you doing multiplayer int he first place 🤔

[ripe matrix]

i do know, im just having difficulty displaying the the crosshairs

the poitn of multiplayer is that players might join or leave anytime

[rich adder]

not clear what this means..

[rich adder]

well yeah, but coding for multiplayer isnt trivial

[ripe matrix]

like when a player comes into view, to have a crosshair (prefab) follow it

[rich adder]

yes but following a player isn't something directly related to multiplayer, the code would be the extact same.

transform.position = other.position

multiplayer in this case would only change that this function would run as a Server RPC o

[ripe matrix]

you're right im not sure why i mentioned multiplayer

[rich adder]

in an ideal situation the players all get spawned with the same components because they all stem from the same prefab

would be the same as spawning a bunch of "offline" player prefabs

[ripe matrix]

my main problem is that while instantiating the prefabs, it appears as a 3d element inside the world even though i parented it to the canvas?

[rich adder]

You never spawn something outside canvas and then parent to canvas

you should always spawn it as child of canvas if it needs to be a canvas object

this makes sure it has a rect transform properly set on spawn

[ripe matrix]

Instantiate(enemyUIPrefab, screenPos, Quaternion.identity, canvas.transform);

is this incorrect?

[rich adder]

looks fine

enemyUIPrefab should ideally contain the UI elements

eg not Sprite Renderers but instead Image.. etc..

[ripe matrix]

is it possible to make a prefab with only an image?

[rich adder]

you can make a prefab with any component you want

as long its on a gameobject, it can even be blank

of course all Gameobjects always have a Transform component, you can't change that part
(for UI should be a RectTransform ideally)

[ripe matrix]

whats wrong with the sprite renderer

[polar acorn]

Is this in a canvas or in world space?

[honest iron]

which way is the best to hit enemies with melee attack?

[ripe matrix]

canvas

[polar acorn]

Then don't use SpriteRenderer, use Image

[ripe matrix]

ill try

[rich adder]

simplest: Trigger
harder but cleaner imo: physics queries like cast or overlap

[ripe matrix]

like so?

[honest iron]

forgot to mention, i have 2 colliders for detection and for physics , is it possible to use another collider to attack if im close enough and not just in the detection?

[rich adder]

if you do put colliders so close you can exclude / include specific layers in the filter found on the collider

[ripe matrix]

hm still doesnt seem to work

[rich adder]

what "doesnt work" mean

[ripe matrix]

the image is not appearing

[rich adder]

not much we can go on from here..
if you intend to get any sort of help you outta show.
How you set it up, what is the expected result and whats happening instead

all with clear screenshots and code in context

im using a joint as a tether for my my astronaught in space and it works but the player can not see that there tethered now obviously i could just do a line renderer from start to end but how would i add like slack to the tether rope and stuff cause i dont know where to start

[ripe matrix]

i have to leave now though, ill just ask again later. thank you for your help

[rich adder]

there is a shader iirc that does "rope" slack line renderers

lemme see if I can find it again

[slender nymph]

look up verlet integration to simulate ropes

[faint osprey]

that would be cool thanks

[rich adder]

oh it was a custom component but yeah I think it was this

can i get a little help with this ? the player is standing in place and it's not moving```public float feetRadius;
public float walkigSpeed;

Vector3 movement,offset;
public LayerMask treeLayer;

private void Update()
{
float horizontal = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal");
float vertical = Input.GetAxis("Vertical");

Ray ray = new Ray(transform.position, -transform.up);
if (Physics.Raycast(ray, out RaycastHit hit, feetRadius))
{
    transform.position = hit.point + new Vector3(horizontal * walkigSpeed * Time.deltaTime, 0, vertical * walkigSpeed * Time.deltaTime);
    transform.rotation = Quaternion.FromToRotation(transform.up, hit.normal) * transform.rotation;
}

}```

i'm trying to make the player walk around a sphere

[faint osprey]

thanks

What's the point of the raycast? What is the goal here?

[honest iron]

is there a collider that cover the gameobject and prevent other can go through it?

[subtle hedge]

the raycast points twords the ground

[wintry quarry]

You either want trigger colliders, or to use layer based collisions. Not sure which from this vague description

[subtle hedge]

and i want it to be fixed to the ground on the y aixs and to be able to move forward and horizontaly

[honest iron]

i fixed my question

[wintry quarry]

Why? What is its purpose?

[wintry quarry]

"prevent other can go through it" isn't that what all colliders do?

Souds like you just want a MeshCollider?

Your question is way too vague sorry

[subtle hedge]

to know where is the ground and to rotate it twords it

[steep rose]

I believe they want certain gameobjects to go through eachother while others do not

[honest iron]

i've tried mesh collider but i still going through

[wintry quarry]

What's going through

provide details

show what you tried

[honest iron]

through the game object
