[jaunty bay]

that means, the problem relays on the button not actually executing the function

[candid plover]

so what do i do ?
is the code the problem .

[jaunty bay]

and thats the one that u can figure out now that you know the trouble after troubleshooting

give me the screenshot of your project

[candid plover]

what part ?

all of it ?

the hierarchy ?

the assets ?

[jaunty bay]

your whole screen ig

[candid plover]

dont lie is my brain cooked ? 😭

[timber tide]

I forget the exact details of it all, but you basically need to negate the bits and add one to the bitfield to grab the lowest bit. Then flip that one and repeat. It's not exactly some 0(1) operation as it requires a bit of back and forth

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/54503134/minus-operator-used-as-unary-bitwise-operation

Still quicker than iterating over a 64 bit enum that's for sure

[bright zodiac]

you can just Enum.GetValues(typeof(MyEnum)).ToList() and iterate it

check if it has Flag

[timber tide]

Why do that when you can just do what I said above and cut out the allocation ;p

[bright zodiac]

sorry I dont follow?

[timber tide]

GetValues would return all bits, you'd have to checkflag each bit, no?

[bright zodiac]

thats how you're supposed to iterate an enum, based on the original question

[timber tide]

int lowestBit = bits & -bits; 
bits &= ~lowestBit; //remove lowest bit

I think that's the idea assuming you can use unary minus works otherwise I think it's just ~bits+1

and the lowest bit would be a selected choice^

[bright zodiac]

remove? proly you meant masking?

[timber tide]

from the mask ye

[bright zodiac]

from what?

[timber tide]

I've done this before somewhere but can't recall what project that's in. I don't usually iterate over the bits

[sour fulcrum]

thank you guys

[rugged beacon]

anyone used aaron's a* and have adjusted the pathfind width before ?

[wintry dew]

is it reasonable to make a static version copying a method that accesses an instance variable like "timer" in a class whose GameObject will be deleted when I want to access the instance data?

[ebon sapphire]

Can someone help with this code? I'm trying to make it to where if i press escape while in the settings menu (which is a button in the pauseMenu) it goes back to the pause menu. Here's a screenshot of what it looks like:

the code that I had in the screenshot: https://pastebin.com/kTxFRpBN

[hot harbor]

is there a reason that overlapCircleNonAlloc uses arrays and not lists?

You wouldn't need to reinitialize the list every time either, or am I misunderstanding what list.Clear does

[cosmic dagger]

An array has a set size, but a list can expand, therefore, taking up more memory if the OverlapCircle returns a different number of colliders . . .

[hot harbor]

Makes sense

however, would having a list instead be better if your collision results vary from hitting 1 vs 500 gameObjects?

Or is that not where the performance drops come from

[charred spoke]

Then it will not be a nonAllock version

[hot harbor]

I see

[charred spoke]

Resizing the list would result in a memalloc

[cosmic dagger]

It's NonAlloc because if the first overlap check hits four enemies, and the second check hits six, only four will populate the array because you cannot change its size. With a list, it will add the two extra hits (allocate memory to hold them) during the second check . . .

[charred spoke]

The trick here is to supply an array with a size of the max result you would expect

[cosmic dagger]

Realistically, you shouldn't have that large of a variance when using the method . . .

[charred spoke]

To answer your question it would work the same way with a list that has a preset capacity. I would say it uses an array to make the intention of not resizing the collection clear

[hot harbor]

does clearing and adding items to the list invoke the garbage collecotr?

[cosmic dagger]

I'm not sure if I understand. You want to create a static method with a parameter that is a copy of a class method, and the parameter is that class?

[charred spoke]

No, items will be kept in memory as long as there is a reference to them, and the gc is invoked when it is invoked. Clearing a list does not manually invoke the gc

[cosmic dagger]

Yes and no. References to the objects within the list are released and will be garbage collected (only if no other references exist), but the list itself is not. The list maintains its capacity; adding new items will not incur additional memory until the capacity is reached. Then it will reallocate memory, copy over the elements, and increase its capacity . . .

[heavy knoll]

Anyone know why my objects aren't spawning in randomly on my terrain with this code? https://paste.ofcode.org/rBscASUEVCEJDr8aVrsAZC

[hot harbor]

Thanks!

[eternal needle]

Add debugs and specifically see why. Print out values and see which dont align with what you expect them to be. You have one condition for spawning, the raycast, so that's a good start for what values to print

You can also use the debug draw ray or line method to visualize your raycasts

[heavy knoll]

ah thanks, i just figured out what it was, im using a procedural mesh that generates on start method, and im also spawning these objects on the start method, so for some reason i think the objects are raycasting before the procedural mesh terrain is there which is why nothing was happening

u have any ideas on why this happens? Shouldn't they both just happen at the same time?

[eternal needle]

Code runs line by line, if two objects both use start then one will start before the other. If you want an exact control of which to do first, you should code that in yourself. You can also manually change the execution order but im not a fan of that

Also it might be better if you setup that raycast a bit different, like is it possible that some of those raycasts dont hit or start inside the terrain? If you're using navmesh you can randomly get a triangle on the navmesh then just spawn the object there

[heavy knoll]

ooh alr, ill look into improving the raycast too.
is there a way to have the terrain mesh be generated before the game starts? So it's already there when my Objects spawner try's to raycast for each object, and i dont have to put a 1 second delay before my objects spawn in

[eternal needle]

You dont need a 1 second delay, you just reference the script thats making the mesh and call the method to make it. Then you call the method which raycasts and places objects down

Having a terrain before the game starts would imply it's an asset that you make now, in editor

[heavy knoll]

oh so call the method SpawnObject() from my mesh generator script once the mesh is finished generating?

[eternal needle]

I would have a 3rd script that does it, like a manager. especially if theres more that needs to be done

it's the same result though

[heavy knoll]

ok cool, thx for the help!

[cold forge]

I need a code

When target hits 0 in seconds (add stuff like months, days hours minutes seconds) (time target like date 2025-03-12) it will make the gameobject become invisible and have no colliders, game object can be any name

[sour fulcrum]

feel free to write it

[cold forge]

Wdym

[sour fulcrum]

this is a channel for teaching and helping people write code not for people to make you code

[cold forge]

i dont know how to make the code

Is there any code helper extension for unity

[patent quarry]

look at documentation and other peoples scripts, you might wanna learn

[sour fulcrum]

no

[cold forge]

no one has a script related to mine

[patent quarry]

not what i mean

look at other scripts to understand how unity c# works

and search for documentation and other stuff related to your script

[sour fulcrum]

people have made scripts that do things when something reaches 0
people have made scripts that make gameobjects invisible and disable colliders
people have made scripts that look at what time it is

[patent quarry]

ill try find some stuff to give you an idea on how to do it, but people here wont make the script for you

[cold forge]

exactly

Ghostys got it

i needed

h*lp

[sour fulcrum]

that's not help that's free labour. if someone is happy to do that for you that's fine but not the point of the channel

[patent quarry]

can you make variables for datetime

ive only used it once for something different

[cold forge]

This is a variable

target="2025-03-17 7:15:00"

i keep it for notes abt coding

that might be in bash

Not c#

[patent quarry]

lemme open unity and do some testing rq

[cold forge]

if [ $remaining_seconds -le 0 ]; then

that also

[patent quarry]

yeah that wouldnt work in c#

[cold forge]

if seconds 0 it will do smth

[patent quarry]

youd need to declare that its a string

[cold forge]

wait i think i got another one

[patent quarry]

do you plan to make it specifically take inputs for hours minutes seconds? would be alot easier otherwise

[cold forge]

or maybe not

[patent quarry]

to be fair

you could probably

[cold forge]

Ok, since i know already how to add months

[patent quarry]

find how many seconds are in a month etc

then in start multiply the months by that value

[cold forge]

86400 x 30.44?

Is the amount of seconds in a month

[patent quarry]

so id guess something like this

[cold forge]

Wdym like that

[patent quarry]

so you set the hours minutes and seconds

you create an empty variable time

you calculate how many seconds are in the minutes and hours

then add them together

[cold forge]

for what

also the target time is it somewhere there

[patent quarry]

to find the time for ur countdown

i may be confused here

are you attempting to have it so at a specific time something will happen and countdown to then

or do a countdown of a specific time when they start the game

[cold forge]

no so let me say

the countdown is automatic for everyone not when they start the game

instantly when a new update drops this is gonna be there

Even if some people are off the game

Its still gonna count down no longer what

To the target

[patent quarry]

so the timer will end at a specific date?

[cold forge]

then it will make the game object (aka any name) invisible and no colliders

[cold forge]

Yes

[patent quarry]

ah

[cold forge]

and then when target hits 0

[patent quarry]

lemme find out how time stuff works rq

[cold forge]

It will make a gameobject or any name for the object become invisible and no colliders

[brazen cedar]

help guy my code is not working 🙄😟😟

[patent quarry]

what about it isnt working?

[teal viper]

Try turning it off and on again

[brazen cedar]

if i press play thay will say Hash donot exit

[hot harbor]

I just debugged the stupidest bug I've ever written
I wrote Mathf.sign instead of sin

[modest dust]

Then it probably doesn't exist. What are you trying to do?

[brazen cedar]

to make my chracter to walk when W is pressed and stop when W is not pressed

[modest dust]

Alright, and how are you trying to do that?

What do you expect to change in order for that to happen

[patent quarry]

cant figure out how really, try find something online similar to what u want

[brazen cedar]

my Bool?

[brazen cedar]

my Bool

[modest dust]

And how is setting a float supposed to change a bool?

[brazen cedar]

do you want to see the code

[modest dust]

I already see the code

Show the animator

[brazen cedar]

ok

this is it

this is the code

[modest dust]

Do you have a parameter called Velocity in the animator?

Also !code

woah didnt know you can format to a language

[brazen cedar]

yes but i changed it to velocity X

[patent quarry]

fun

[modest dust]

Then why are you getting a hash from Velocity and not Velocity X or Velocity Z?

[wild parrot]

i found a solution... Character controller!

[brazen cedar]

what am i meant to do to make it work

[modest dust]

Your answer is within my question.

There is no Velocity parameter in the animator, is it supposed to guess which one you meant?

There's only Velocity X and Velocity Z

[cold forge]

back

dang it

[brazen cedar]

should i make a velocity Bool

[modest dust]

You should take a look at !learn because you don't seem to understand how your own animations even work

[eternal falcon]

:teacher: Unity Learn ↗

[modest dust]

Why would a velocity bool help here at all

Your animations are controlled by Velocity X and Velocity Z, change these if you want the state of your animator to change.

Not some random Velocity which isn't even a parameter

[brazen cedar]

i had a velocity bool that i used then i changed it o velocity Z i am asking if i should change the name back

[modest dust]

What does a bool have to do with a float and why would changing the name in the animator help with anything?

Change the damn code so that the hash corresponds to the correct parameter in the animator

[brazen cedar]

show me the pic of the code pls

[modest dust]

No, go !learn

[mortal ginkgo]

i'm having a small problem (won't take much of your time) and i need to screenshare to show it to you so you can tell me what to look at
the problem is how do i make the attack i coded actually attack when i click
so i'm sorry to ask you but can someone join a vc with me so i can screenshare? you don't have to talk

[modest dust]

No one will join a vc, explain your issue here, send a video if necessary

[mortal ginkgo]

but what screenshot do i show?

Well, you're asking about executing an attack on click, seems like a code issue from that alone

What are you having an issue with? Executing the attack, making the click work (old/new input system)?

[mortal ginkgo]

how do you want me to show my code exactly?
do i take a screenshot or do i copy paste it here?

Awesome

[mortal ginkgo]

yay i did it

[modest dust]

Alright, now, what exactly is the problem? Is the animation not starting?

[mortal ginkgo]

when i click nothing happens

[modest dust]

Just to be sure, you're pressing the left mouse button, right?

[mortal ginkgo]

yes

[modest dust]

Put a Debug.Log just before you call SetTrigger to make sure it's actually called

[mortal ginkgo]

can you show me what it would look like with that so i place it correctly?

this is the error

thank you so much

this is the error

I need to see the line of code not the error

[brazen cedar]

ok

here

[mortal ginkgo]

nvm still confused

i need what it would look like complete so i stop being dumb

sorry

[modest dust]

It's literally... the entire Update method

You can just replace the existing one if you're struggling with it for some reason

But essentially I just added one line before anim.SetTrigger

[mortal ginkgo]

still nothing happening when i left click

[modest dust]

Show your current code

[rough lynx]

Wait just to be sure

Did you actually put your script on an object

All of that code looks functional

[mortal ginkgo]

it's on the player character

// using UnityEngine;

public class Melee1Attack : MonoBehaviour
{
    [SerializeField] public Animator anim;

    [SerializeField] public float meleespeed1;

    [SerializeField] public float damage;

    float timeUntilMelee1;

        if (timeUntilMelee1 <= 0f) {
            if (Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0)) {
                Debug.Log("Left mouse button pressed, animation should start...");
                anim.SetTrigger("Attack1");
                timeUntilMelee1 = meleespeed1;

            } else {
                timeUntilMelee1 -= Time.deltaTime;
            }

        } } 

[rough lynx]

The brackets are throwing me off lol hold on

[modest dust]

Then place another debug, right before the first if statement, to log the value of timeUntilMelee1

Debug.Log($"Time left: {timeUntilMelee1}");

[mortal ginkgo]

there's more down there unfinished for doing damage

(it's not making any errors)

[rough lynx]

Could it be this

I think you're putting the else a bit too late in

[modest dust]

oh wait, the brackets threw me off too

[rough lynx]

This is basically saying if timeUntilMelee1 is less than zero and we're not clicking then decrease the timer

[mortal ginkgo]

let me send the full thing sorry

// using Unity.VisualScripting;
using UnityEngine;

public class Melee1Attack : MonoBehaviour
{
    [SerializeField] public Animator anim;

    [SerializeField] public float meleespeed1;

    [SerializeField] public float damage;

    private void Update() {
        if (timeUntilMelee1 <= 0f) {
            if (Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0)) {
                Debug.Log("Left mouse button pressed, animation should start...");
                anim.SetTrigger("Attack1");

            Debug.Log("Enemy hit");

             }

    }





}

[modest dust]

Yeah, the else shouldn't be nested inside the first if, it should be after it

[mortal ginkgo]

that means nothing to my brain

i need to see it

[modest dust]

    private void Update() 
    {
        if (timeUntilMelee1 <= 0f) 
        {
            if (Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0)) 
            {
                Debug.Log("Left mouse button pressed, animation should start...");
                anim.SetTrigger("Attack1");
                timeUntilMelee1 = meleespeed1;
            } 
        } 
        else // If timeUntilMelee1 > 0f
        {
          timeUntilMelee1 -= Time.deltaTime;
        }
    } 

Your code checks if timeUntilMelee1 is less or equal to zero, and if that's true then it goes deeper, checks if you press the mouse button, otherwise decreases the time left

[mortal ginkgo]

i was following a guide and his brackets looked like that so to not confuse myself i made it the same

[modest dust]

Show me the guide

[mortal ginkgo]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=giJKCl-GVrU

it was exactly what i needed so uhh

[modest dust]

timestamp?

[mortal ginkgo]

idk

[rough lynx]

9:18 is probably what you want

I think your brackets were a tad bit off

[mortal ginkgo]

the first 10 minutes

[modest dust]

Alright I see it

Yeah, if you compare the two, it's not the same

[mortal ginkgo]

oh so it's my fault sorry

[modest dust]

the else corresponds to the first if, not the nested one

[real grail]

Also if you are gonna follow the tutorial like that try to understand the code that is given to you and not just copy paste 😄

[mortal ginkgo]

i was trying to

[modest dust]

The brackets are even colored differently here depending on how nested they are

[mortal ginkgo]

ah

Are you getting the log message?

what?

yes

[modest dust]

The Debug.Log that's right before SetTrigger, is it appearing in the unity console

If yes, then are there any errors or warnings?

Your Animator does not have a parameter called Velocity but for some reason you're getting a hash from "Velocity" and trying to use that

[hexed terrace]

the warning is also pointing at line 45 in iloveyougod.cs

not the code you shared

[modest dust]

Show the entire window..

[brazen cedar]

my character have velocity

[modest dust]

From what you have shown in the animator, they have Velocity X and Velocity Z, not Velocity

I struggle to find what you can't understand in that

[brazen cedar]

I CHANGED IT TO VELOCITY Z

[modest dust]

Sure, but the code you keep on sending still uses Velocity, not Velocity Z

[brazen cedar]

so should i change it back

[mortal ginkgo]

is this what you want? orrrr?

[modest dust]

Alright, this might actually be the first time I'm blocking someone here.

[modest dust]

You should go to !learn to understand what you're even doing

[modest dust]

Yes, I just wanted to see if there are any hidden warnings, none here though

[mortal ginkgo]

ok

[brazen cedar]

i understand i retype the code like 3 times it is still not working

[modest dust]

Change Animator.StringToHash("Velocity") to Animator.StringToHash("Velocity Z") and stop asking me.

[brazen cedar]

😲👍

[brazen cedar]

is that all i should change

[modest dust]

What about "stop asking me" is unclear to you?

[mortal ginkgo]

sooo
back to me...

[modest dust]

What you can do is open up the animator controller for the player, start the game, and press the player instance with the Animator on it, that should show you the current state of the animator belonging to that instance of the player if I remember correctly...
Then press the left mouse button while looking at the animator to see if it changes.

[mortal ginkgo]

oh ok thanks

[modest dust]

Also send a screenshot of the animator

[modest dust]

Show the transition for Any State -> Melee

and Melee -> New State

[mortal ginkgo]

so it's only letting me click one a second which is intended
and now that i look at this it doesn't look right

ok

[modest dust]

When you look at the animator, does it go through the entire Melee animation? That is, does the progress bar go from 0 all the way to 1?

[brazen cedar]

it is still not working

[modest dust]

Also send the inspector for the Melee state

[mortal ginkgo]

the "MeleeAttack1Animation is loading
but i don't see it in the game

[modest dust]

Check if the Animation frames are set up correctly

[brazen cedar]

i changed it

[mortal ginkgo]

hold on it worked for a minute and then not anymore

[mortal ginkgo]

IT"S WORKING YAYYYY

hold on it uhhh

@modest dust so the swing attack is spawning in front of the player character and not where he's aiming

[modest dust]

That seems like a separate issue, show the code for instantiating the swing attack

[mortal ginkgo]

is it not this?

// using Unity.VisualScripting;
using UnityEngine;

public class Melee1Attack : MonoBehaviour
{
    [SerializeField] public Animator anim;

    [SerializeField] public float meleespeed1;

    [SerializeField] public float damage;

    float timeUntilMelee1;


    private void Update() 
    {
        if (timeUntilMelee1 <= 0f)
        {
            if (Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0))
            {
                Debug.Log("Left mouse button pressed, animation should start...");
                anim.SetTrigger("Attack1");
                timeUntilMelee1 = meleespeed1;

            }
        }
        else
        {
            timeUntilMelee1 -= Time.deltaTime;
        } 
    } 

        private void OnTriggerEnter2D(Collider2D other) {
            if (other.tag == "Enemy") {
            // other.GetComponent<Enemy>().TakeDamage(damage);
            Debug.Log("Enemy hit");

             }

    }





}

[modest dust]

That's only triggering the animation, there is no aiming involved here whatsoever

Nor there is any spawning happening here

[mortal ginkgo]

i have a cursor the circles around the player aiming at the mouse

how do i attach the attack to it?

[hexed terrace]

Aren't you following a tutorial? Surely you should carry on with that, it will probably eventually tell you

[mortal ginkgo]

i did what the tutorial did and it's not working

[hexed terrace]

If it works in the tutorial, you did it wrong, or missed something .. go back and do it again

[mortal ginkgo]

hold on i'm waiting for caesar's response

[modest dust]

Well, your cursor and your attack are probably separate entities I would assume. You'd have to adjust your attack to whatever state your cursor is currently in... but if it's part of the tutorial then your answer should be there.

[mortal ginkgo]

give me a couple of minutes and try to figure it out with the tutorial

i wanna cry

[mortal ginkgo]

that's all he did and then it worked
can you just please show me how to do it before i cry

[hexed terrace]

the tutorial shows you how to do it

[mortal ginkgo]

...
i followed it
and then
it didn't work

[hexed terrace]

no one here can show you.. it'll take more time than we have to learn your setup, work out the implementation for it, and type it up

[hexed terrace]

So you followed it wrong
If it works in the tutorial, and not for you.. you did it wrong.

[mortal ginkgo]

wanna vc with me so i can screenshare and prove me wrong?

[hexed terrace]

You're not following it exactly as it is - you called your animation Attack1 instead of Attack for example.

Follow it to the letter, and don't skim anything

[hexed terrace]

no

[mortal ginkgo]

damn

[mortal ginkgo]

he writes literally nothing about turning and then it turns

[hexed terrace]

such lies

[mortal ginkgo]

WATCH THE VIDEO

[modest dust]

The tutorial shows you how to rotate it.. although from the first seconds of it I can see him rotating the weapon, you're on the other hand rotating the cursor. So if your weapon and cursor are separate then simply copy the rotation of the cursor onto the weapon. Or attach the weapon to the cursor.

If your cursor rotates, then he did in fact show how to turn it

[mortal ginkgo]

i did it and now my whole character is turning

damn

[modest dust]

Then... you're turning the wrong thing

[mortal ginkgo]

damn

[modest dust]

Show the hierarchy

player, cursor, weapon, etc

[modest dust]

Just... attach Melee1 to CursorNotScript, and make it so that it aligns correctly

[mortal ginkgo]

tried it before
it made the attack animation not work

[modest dust]

or to RotatePoint

[mortal ginkgo]

again makes attack animation not work

[modest dust]

It shouldn't matter where you attach it.. unless you're deactivating certain gameobjects when you start the attack

if you parent the attack under the cursor but deactivate the cursor then obviously the attack will also deactivate, etc

[mortal ginkgo]

i'm gonna have a heart attack before someone vc's with me and shows me things

[modest dust]

If you don't want to change the hierarchy then copy the rotation from RotatePoint onto Melee1, making sure that it acts as a rotation point for GFX

[mortal ginkgo]

i give up

i shall return to unity another day

[modest dust]

Taking a break is also an important step of the process.

[steady locust]

Me on day 7 of my 2 day break

[rugged beacon]

i have taken a week break before, looking back to current project like alien

hi, can someone tell my why the counter still goes up even when button is clicked?

public class UIBlock : MonoBehaviour
{
private int counter = 0;
[SerializeField]
private Button button;
[SerializeField]
private TextMeshProUGUI text;

// Start is called before the first frame update
void Start()
{
    button.GetComponent<Button>();
    text.GetComponent<TextMeshProUGUI>();
}

// Update is called once per frame
void Update()
{
    // Check if there is a touch
    if (Input.touchCount > 0 && Input.GetTouch(0).phase == TouchPhase.Ended)
    {
        // Check if finger is over a UI element
        if (!EventSystem.current.IsPointerOverGameObject(Input.GetTouch(0).fingerId))
        {
            Debug.Log("Touched");
            counter = counter + 1;
        }
    }

    text.SetText(counter.ToString());
}

}

[timber tide]

what button method

Should just use the button component

[cosmic dagger]

Use a paste site or format your !code blocks. Also, your Start method is pointless; you call GetComponent on both button and text but don't do anything with it. What is supposed to happen when the button is clicked . . .

I simply want to return a value "timer" in my class. However, the gameobject instance that holds that scripts gets destroyed when i have to return it, so do i have to make the exact same method again but static and also copy my "timer" variable and make that static and just match it to my regular one? Or is there an easier way?

[rich ice]

when i use the code snippet for switch, in visual studios, there's a case for default at the bottom. what is that used for?

[wintry quarry]

default in a switch happens when none of the other cases happen

[rich ice]

oh right, i normally use it with enums, forgot that might be needed for ints or something though

[wintry quarry]

It's for anything

Enums are just ints anyway

[random iris]

@cosmic dagger i made this to test IsPoinerOverGameObject like this https://docs.unity3d.com/2018.1/Documentation/ScriptReference/EventSystems.EventSystem.IsPointerOverGameObject.html
so i want the counter here to go up when touch is released and when clicked on a button the counter should not go up, but it still does, when used TouchPhase == Began it works but with TouchPhase == Ended it does not work, i also tested this using keyboard and mouse controls and it works with GetKeyUp

[tulip stag]

Continuing what I was saying in #💻┃unity-talk

Right now I’ve reached two points in my Unity project that I think events would help.

The first is in my 'Helper' classes— I have a set of static classes that modify POCOs instead of accessing the POCO directly to change it. For instance, I can call SourceHelper.SetName(source) and the name is set. Sure. I think an event system would be nice to call the other functions that are meant to be run every time you change a variable of these POCOs— for instance, the variable PB that’s set by SheetHelper.SetPB(sheet) is used in a lot of player stat calculations; so whenever the SetPB function is called it should send an event that lets other scripts know they should recalculate anything that depends on PB.

Another implementation I think I need, way more straightforward— Im working on a custom editor for such POCOs, and I’d want the editor to call these helper functions instead of directly modifying the POCOs. I did some research and apparently the only way to do this is with unity events

[wintry quarry]

For a custom editor you can use a plugin like https://dbrizov.github.io/na-docs/attributes/meta_attributes/on_value_changed.html

For the first case yes you would simply have the other scripts subscribe to an event on the SheetHelper and in SetPB you would invoke that event

[tulip stag]

Sorry I mispoke— I meant a property drawer, but I think the implementation is the same for both

But yeah, thanks!

I am trying to make a simple ai enemy using navmesh, however, i dont know how to bake the surface. I do not actually have any surfaces until the game is started because i have a maze generator that spawns everything in. How do i bake a navmesh at runtime?

[wintry quarry]

Call https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.ai.navigation@2.0/api/Unity.AI.Navigation.NavMeshSurface.html#Unity_AI_Navigation_NavMeshSurface_BuildNavMesh

[last radish]

Wait and is there anything else to do? like do i just put public void BuildNavMesh() into any script that runs at runtime and then the ai will work?

[wintry quarry]

no... you call BuildNavMesh on your NavMeshSurface

[snow cloak]

whats the easiest way to implement vertical movement

im trying to recreate pong

[rich adder]

Rigidbody2D

velocity

[snow cloak]

yea i added that

[last radish]

im a bit confused then what exactly is navmeshsurface

[rich adder]

its a component

creates the area your agents walks on

[last radish]

to what do i add that component?

[neon forum]

For the load method I use, I clear my grid and replace it with gameObj, this works, and is able to make 1:1 replicas as far as I can see.

the current issue atm is that my 2draycast collider doesn't find anything, even when clicking on the new gameObj's spawned, with the function that uses the raycast2d collider saying the following error

what am I doing wrong here?

[rich adder]

well ideally to a gameobject

empty one is fine

read the options on the Object Collection to how you want to bake

[last radish]

oh okay

[rich adder]

link it in the inspector to run that function after generating maze
[SerializeField] NavMeshSurface navSurface;
void Method(){ navSurface.BuildNavMesh();

[last radish]

the namespace NavMeshSurface could not be found

[rich adder]

apparently you're trying to access something that is Null. If its raycast, then are you trying to access Collider on a no hit?

[last radish]

i do have the navmeshsurface component so idk why thats happening

[rich adder]

your IDE will tell you which one it belongs to

[wintry quarry]

Read the rest of that error: "Are you missing a using directive?"

[neon forum]

the thing is is that the raycast is based off of mouse position, and I'm clicking on the game obj directly. This code does work before I do my load function.
However, when I use the load function(which wipes all game Obj's and replaces them with the same ones ATM), the raycast no longer can find it.

The gameOBJs do have colliders, because they are the same copy pasted obj

[last radish]

oh sorry, i did have using unity.ai, without the .navigation

[neon forum]

The original game OBJs are deleted and replaced with new game OBJs that are stored in a dict with the key being their x,y

[rich adder]

show the code because its hard to know whats going on without it

[rich adder]

make sure your IDE (code editor) shows you the options I showed you

dont just copy the correct one off mine lol

[last radish]

no dw i got it from mine

i just didnt expand the show potential fixes

[rich adder]

yea ok. Cause that part is probably even more important than code you writing lol

[rich adder]

so which line is throwing NRE ?

[neon forum]

this one

 hit.collider.gameObject.GetComponent<SpriteRenderer>().sprite = _draggedObj.GetComponent<SpriteRenderer>().sprite;

The first time I try to get a component from the hit gameObj it gives me an err

[rich adder]

well it a bandaid right now, but also you shouldn't just have hit.collider. freely like that

put at very least inside an if(hit != null) statement

its either hit is null or it did find something that doesn't have SpriteRenderer or _draggedObj i null

most likely the former

why its null thats for you to find out, but you shouldn't be doing anything outside of a null check unles you know beyond a doubt its going to always be 100% not null

[verbal dome]

if(hit)

It's a struct so it can't be null

but it has an implicit bool comparison

[rich adder]

ya normally its struct and never null

[verbal dome]

Normally? Always

[neon forum]

just tried it, now it's hitting at the bandaid code checking to see if hit.collider.gameObj is null

[rich adder]

unless nullable 🤓

[wintry quarry]

should just be if (hit.collider == null) { Debug.log("Didn't hit anything"); }

[rich adder]

wdym hitting at bandaid code?

[wintry quarry]

or if (!hit)

[neon forum]

it threw an error

[wintry quarry]

yeah because you did hit.collider.gameObject without checking

[neon forum]

I tried if(hit) and now it's not running, so it's definitely false

[rich adder]

thats why it was null

[wintry quarry]

you cannot access that .gameObject until you do if (hit) or if (hit.collider != null)

[rich adder]

it didnt hit

[neon forum]

but how is it not hitting anything? my mouse pointer is literally on the game obj

[verbal dome]

Should also only raycast when you click, since you don't seem to be using the hit otherwise

[rich adder]

that screentoworld looks sus

[wintry quarry]

whatever you're mousing over doesn't have a collider

[rich adder]

itsnt for 2D better using intersect ot whatever

[wintry quarry]

yeah they're using that aren't they?

        RaycastHit2D hit = Physics2D.GetRayIntersection(Camera.main.ScreenPointToRay(Input.mousePosition));

[rich adder]

Oh right im blind forgive me

[wintry quarry]

but yeah all of the rest should be inside the check

[neon forum]

the first image is initial creation and the 2nd image is post load method

[wintry quarry]

the collider is disabled

on the second

[neon forum]

dies

why is it always the stupidest things

[rich adder]

fr

[neon forum]

is there a quick "enable all components of this gameObj" method?

[rich adder]

You could foreach them but sounds like you need to fix it where you set it to disabled no ?

[neon forum]

but I never set it to disbaled

[rich adder]

well something is

[neon forum]

well since I'm already doing an instantiation of them from my dict tileStorage(for looping already), there shouldn't be anything wrong just enableing that component in that same loop

[verbal dome]

Are you sure you aren't enabling/disabling the boxcolliders instead?

[rich adder]

there is nothing wrong doing that but if something is setting it to disabled you might want to investigate that

[neon forum]

I have no method that disables boxcolliders

[verbal dome]

Show the tile prefab

[rich adder]

not sure how unity would just set .enabled = false by itself unless a specific reason
I only know Start() disables the script checkmark if NRE occurs there.

[neon forum]

tile prefab here, it's enabled

mind you, the intial load has all the tiles enabled using instantiate

for load, I instantiate a gameObj from a dictionary, so maybe the dict doesn't hold enabled?

just ran the code, brute forcing enabled to be true after all the other methods fixed it

[rich adder]

dictionary has no control over that

[neon forum]

I thought so

does setActive tamper with components when using it on a gameObj? No, right?

[rich adder]

afaik it shouldnt touch .enabled on other components

maybe you could send the entire Tile script and what instantiates it through link, we can take a look if anything is a miss

[neon forum]

okay, I will do that

[neon forum]

this is the script that controls spawning tiles and reloading the tiles https://paste.mod.gg/pvtqvfgjrlsc/0

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

and this is the script attatched to the tile prefab

[rich adder]

hmm maybe the one in tileStorage had the component disabled to start with?.
Or am overlooking something obvious lol

[neon forum]

If you are, then I am as well. I have no clue how c# does dict when it comes to the specifics

[rich adder]

_tilePrefab are you 100% sure the one you linked in the inspector is the correct prefab with the component enabled?

[neon forum]

yes, I double clicked it

[rich adder]

the dictionary just stores the object, it shouldnt touch the components

[neon forum]

double checked it*

[rich adder]

hmm yeah unless at some point the one stored gets touched, updateTile() or something

[neon forum]

oh, rats.

[rich adder]

you should also start using Components rather than GameObject type

if you have Tile you shouldn't need to store them as GameObject, you can directly use Tile

[neon forum]

that was the thing I was trying to attempt, but I can't convert gameObj hit by the raycast to a tile

[rich adder]

if(hit.collider.TryGetComponent(out Tile myTile))

[neon forum]

ah I had no idea there was a trygetcomponent, I tried try/catch but it complained lol

let me make some adjustments

[rich adder]

this is the same thing as doing

var myTile = hit.collider.GetComponent<Tile>();
if(myTile != null){
myTile.Stuff();

out is the result stored if the if returns true

[neon forum]

wait, tile is a component?

[rich adder]

if it inherits from MB yes

[neon forum]

I thought it was a subtype of gameobj

[rich adder]

GameObject is just a container, think like a Box that holds all the components in it

[neon forum]

right, which is how it can be empty

[rich adder]

except for Transform but yeah

GameObject and Transform are basically inseparable best friends lol

so through any component you can access both
tile.gameObject & tile.transform

[neon forum]

that makes sense... since every gameobj MUST have a transform, the transform is guaranteed to exist/have functioning methods

now I'm trying to serialize the dict into a json and export it as a save file

unfortunately, I already wrote code for this, and I'm looking at it and it's illegible

this is a travesty

[steel smelt]

Ah, been a while since I had to use

[rich adder]

correct

[rich adder]

add by name com.unity.nuget.newtonsoft-json

[neon forum]

okay I added it

[rich adder]

change JsonUtility to the new method JsonConvert.SerializeObject(item)
https://www.newtonsoft.com/json/help/html/SerializingJSON.htm#JsonConvert

[neon forum]

it's over

[rich adder]

i accidentally cut the c from .com lmao

myb. fixed

everything is pretty much same as JsonUtility

[neon forum]

ah got it, I just need to replace it with JsonConvert

[rich adder]

yup

[neon forum]

does it have an export?

[rich adder]

wdym an export?

[neon forum]

like an export method to create a json file and insert it into a specified folder?

[rich adder]

SerializeObject makes the json string

well you use System.IO there same as you would in JsonUtliity

this just converts an object into a json string and vice versa

normally you do
var serializedJson = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(myobj)
File.WriteAllText(path, serializedJson)
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.io.file.writealltext?view=net-9.0

path = Path.Combine(Application.persistentDataPath, "folderName" , "fileName")
https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.0/Documentation/ScriptReference/Application-persistentDataPath.html

[last radish]

um sorry for the late response, but my ai still isnt moving and im not entirely sure to do. (its in response to these messages). I tried to add a one second delay in case the navmesh was being baked before the actual maze spawned, but nothing changed really. Im not really sure what could be wrong

[undone dragon]

can anyone help me out with this physics based movement? im following a tutorial and i did the code right but its saying theres an error. someone please help https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f473C43s8nE

errors are in the bottom

[rich adder]

show what you done so far.

use links to share code

[rich adder]

You skipped a step

at some point they created that float and you didn't

[undone dragon]

theres no way tho bc i followed perfectly

he js never mentioned a airmultiplier

[rich adder]

people often say that, turns out usually it isn't

[undone dragon]

so would i js add an airmultiplier as like a public void or sum

[rich adder]

either that or the tutorial is bad

[undone dragon]

im new to coding

[rich adder]

why would it be a public void ?

its a float

[undone dragon]

i dont know whats what

mb im trying to use big boy words in this new stuff

first time developing

[rich adder]

float = decimal number

it not a big word

its a math word

[undone dragon]

big boy words

[verbal dome]

Just having a navmesh surface doesn't make your enemies use it. Have you added code for navigation and navmesh agents?

[undone dragon]

big boy words

😂

ill rewind a minute or 2

[last radish]

yes, ill send in a sec

atleast i think so

[rich adder]

"float" because its a "floating number"
Its almost precise but not , close enough
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floating-point_arithmetic

[undone dragon]

gotchya

ill see if i missed sum bc the comments are all thanking him

[rich adder]

yea def did at some point

many people come with that video here, dont think that has ever been issue

[undone dragon]

its a great tutorial

alrighty time to lock in

thank u @rich adder

must be if its popular lol

[verbal dome]

Aargh

[rich adder]

oh nvm its a horrid tutorial

[verbal dome]

(from that video)

[last radish]

idk why i found the tutorial bad

[undone dragon]

actually?

[rich adder]

well at least for that part

[undone dragon]

oop

[rich adder]

You never want to multiply your mouse Input by Time.deltaTime

you mouse delta is already the distance moved between each frame

therefore its already frame-rate independent

[undone dragon]

multiplyng time by deltatime makes mouse buggy

thats what i heard from yesterday

i followed the same tutorial

[undone dragon]

end the line at the end of the parentheses

[last radish]

This is the navmesh script, attached to a empty game object, https://pastecode.io/s/gwaio9sd. This is the ai's code https://pastecode.io/s/njb6h4am, which i attached to a capsule with a navmeshagent, and i attached a sphere to the script as the target

also im not exactly sure what i was meant to attach to the navSurface field in the navmesh script

[undone dragon]

found the issue

[rich adder]

two things to check.
you most likely have errors if its trying to move before it was baked
check the nav surface was baked correctly

[last radish]

How to check both?

[rich adder]

start with checking if it even baked it correctly.
pause the game or switch into scene view after regen, and see if its blue and correct

[last radish]

im in scene view with show navmesh activated and it is infact not blue

nothing is baked in that case

[undone dragon]

no way now my jumping is bugged

i even configured settings right and there are no errors in the code

🤦 game dev is so hard

[rich adder]

show the component of the navmesh surface after the bake

[undone dragon]

i feel for the ppl who are professional game devs

[rich adder]

yup

[rocky canyon]

its not really hard as much as "involved"

[rich adder]

thats development for ya

[undone dragon]

mhm

well im too invested now

already planned out a whole game

[rocky canyon]

hellz yea!

[rich adder]

that could take years

[rocky canyon]

have u got to teh scope creep part?

[rocky canyon]

if years is meaning (2) i think ur being very generous

[undone dragon]

im willing to take time to make this game

[rocky canyon]

good on you 👏

[last radish]

and this error: NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object
NavMesh.BuildNav () (at Assets/Scripts/Map Scripts/NavMesh.cs:15)

hmm didnt have this before

[undone dragon]

backrooms?

fire

[last radish]

yessir

atleast something similiar

[rocky canyon]

yea somethings wrong with ur entire navmesh surface..

[verbal dome]

Don't think you are supposed to call SetDestination every Update

It will be stuck calculating a path

[rich adder]

why isnt your navmesh surface even linked ?

[rocky canyon]

the error means ur navmesh agent isn't even near a navmesh

[rich adder]

there isnt even a reference runnign Bake on

[last radish]

isnt this to make sure it will track the object every time it moevs

[last radish]

i assume this is because there is no navmesh

[rich adder]

lets not jump ahead..

you didnt even bake it..

how you expect anything to move on it

[rocky canyon]

yuuup

[last radish]

well i though this https://pastecode.io/s/gwaio9sd. bakes it

[rich adder]

you put the field there, and never ran the method cause it would be also NRE

[rich adder]

well it should but you didnt link the reference

this would throw a NRE

[last radish]

oh okay

so what do i do

[rich adder]

link the reference?

drag n drop

Your enemies should wait for an event. / bool before starting the SetDestination

[last radish]

so i drag the navmeshsurface on the navmesh game object into the navmesh field on the scriot?

[rich adder]

the script component wants to know which navmesh surface you want to run BuildNavMesh on
it just knows "I have this navmeshsurface , I want to bake on"
computer: Okay WHICH one do you want to bake

[undone dragon]

anyone know why my jump isnt working?

[rich adder]

dont use videos to share !code

[rich adder]

this needs to be degugged

[undone dragon]

what is that mean

[rich adder]

you have 3 conditions which may affect that from running

debugging is the process of verifying each one isnt contributing to the issue

[undone dragon]

alrighty

lets hope i dont break something

scary stuff

[rich adder]

Debug.Log inside the if statement to see the function runs at all..

[undone dragon]

it js confuses me how he did all of those and it didnt break for him

[last radish]

ph okay thanks ill try it now

[rich adder]

because they know what they're doing and you're just copying so its easy to miss

[undone dragon]

gotchu

so delete one at a time to see which one isnt contributing

[rich adder]

NO

#💻┃code-beginner message

[undone dragon]

wait what

[rich adder]

why would you delete them?

[undone dragon]

oh so how do i run that code

[rich adder]

wdym how?

[undone dragon]

bc then i see which one is the problem

[undone dragon]

the debug.og

debug.log

[broken nest]

Hey, I dont know if I should make one big scene with everything in it or different small scenes. What's the pros and cons? I don't think that having every objects loaded at once would be that much of issue considering it's a rather small game

[rich adder]

First you see if its not printing the Log you know if statement is the problem, then you can verify each one before if statement

[undone dragon]

ok so break it down into idiot terms

please

[rich ice]

not a code question
#💻┃unity-talk

[undone dragon]

wait i got it

[rich adder]

idk how much simpler you want me to put it lol
put the method

[undone dragon]

i think i js simply missed a space

i checked the lightbulb to the left

it said fix formatting

wasnt it

[rich adder]

no

there is no compile errors

[undone dragon]

where would i put the method

[rich adder]

thats only thing to wrroy about

[rich adder]

like I said a few times already, inside the If statement with the 3 conditions

[undone dragon]

alrighty

[undone dragon]

when i do this debug thing, i get an error

fixed it

it needed to be unityengine.debug.log

wait so if it doesnt log in the console, is that make it the bad one

[rich adder]

remove the system.diagnostics namespace

[rich adder]

if nothing prints to console then the function isnt hitting if statement

so jump() will not run

[undone dragon]

thats weirding me out bc nothing is printing

like literally nothing

[rich adder]

yes thats why we established its not printing then its not running

[undone dragon]

now i gotta find out why its not printing

[rich adder]

I mean ideally you'd log something a bit more useful

[undone dragon]

wdym

[rich adder]

jumpkey will just give you a Keycode, that isn't useful

[undone dragon]

well nothings coming thru with anything

i did all of those

[rich adder]

because if statement isnt running

[undone dragon]

readyToJump, grounded, and jumpKey were all in there

[rich adder]

meaning one of those is false when you press JumpKey

[rocky canyon]

run the debugs b4 the conditional 😉

[rich adder]

most likely grounded

[undone dragon]

but even when press space it doesnt log

[rich adder]

yes.. because there are 2 other bools

[undone dragon]

whats the code line for that

[undone dragon]

yeah

[rich adder]

so you need to verify their values at the time Space is pressed

[undone dragon]

so how would i go across that with it being all weird and not logging on the console

[rocky canyon]

Debug.

[rich adder]

Debug.Log($"ready to jump : {readyToJump}; is grounded : {grounded}");

[rocky canyon]

^ consolidated

[undone dragon]

this brings that error tho

[rocky canyon]

u have a using statement u dont need

[rich adder]

delete the System.Diagnositcs namespace

[rocky canyon]

^ get rid of that garbage ur not ready for that yet

[undone dragon]

whats the system namespace

[undone dragon]

get rid of my code?

[rocky canyon]

the using statement

[rich adder]

where the using statements are

at the top of the class

[rocky canyon]

this means BOTH of those using statement have a Debug

it doesnt know which one ur wanting to use

[undone dragon]

so which one do i wanna see

[rocky canyon]

so remove the SYstem one.. b/c not sure why u even have that

keep UnityEngine

remove the System or System.Diagnostics or w/e u have extra

[undone dragon]

how do i remove the system one

oh i see it

delete this thing?

the first one?

[rocky canyon]

pay close attention 👀

[rich adder]

just Systsem.Diagnostics as i already said..

[undone dragon]

alright

[undone dragon]

nothing is printing still

i deleted it

[rich adder]

then its not running

did you put it before the if statement?

are the inputs working?

[rich adder]

jesus..

before the If statement

[undone dragon]

OMGGGGG

[rich adder]

me and someone else said that

pay attention

[undone dragon]

🤦

[rich adder]

we already established if statement isn't hitting, put anything new in there is moot

[undone dragon]

i thought u meant in the if statement

[rich adder]

nah cause if its not hitting , the condition values before it need to be verified

[rich adder]

You cant do that if the log doesnt run

[undone dragon]

what is that mean

[rich adder]

it means you aint ready to jump

[undone dragon]

but im touching the ground and ground check should see that

[rich adder]

you reset jump in ResetJump()

but its never true otherwise

if Jump cant run, how can resetJump run?

readyToJump stays false

bool default value is false

[undone dragon]

hmmm 🤔

[rich adder]

willing to bet you missed that part at some point in the video

[undone dragon]

prolly right'

im rewatching the whole jump segment

thank u for dealing with my nonsense

[undone dragon]

btw do u know why my velocity word crosses out?

do i switch to this?

[rich adder]

it tells you why right there ^

[undone dragon]

so switching the code is safe

[rich adder]

yes because its telling you to do it

[undone dragon]

alright sorry..

ill try to do the rest on my own

[rich adder]

if you use Ctrl + . / quickactions, it should help you replace them already

[undone dragon]

alright im gonna apply everything it wants me to apply

[rich adder]

Okay

lmk

[last radish]

sorry for being late again, i had to go to dinner, but the navmesh still isnt spawning.

[rich adder]

did you go into scene view and check?

[last radish]

yep

[rich adder]

make sure the gizmos is on

[last radish]

you can see it ticked on the right

[sand mesa]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1338963657513635960/1348358334645928107/20250309-1814-09.4248083.mp4?ex=67cf2c0e&is=67cdda8e&hm=51f13c450979965a4f9364c5650356b5b9dc4edb7fdd3f8d4b736e811acf579e&

I come because I am trying to make a puzzle where a player fixes a broken clock

[rich adder]

are you sure that function is
A: running
B: running at the correct time (aka after the build)

[sand mesa]

left click spins the minute hand, right click spins the hour hand

i managed to get the hour hand to work, but I htink its overriding the minute hand's collision

[last radish]

This is the code:
void Start()
{
Invoke(nameof(BuildNav), 1f);
}

void BuildNav()
{
    navSurface.BuildNavMesh();
}

}

so i think so

[rich adder]

well verify its running first things first

[rich adder]

when i add in a debug message, i do in fact get it, so the code itself runs

[rich adder]

use links

com on dude, no one wants a wall of text in discord. use the links provided.

hence the "Large code" section in the bot message

[sand mesa]

its inline!

[rich adder]

inline should be 4-5 lines max..

not an entire class

[sand mesa]

wouldnt code that goes over the char limit warrant large block?

[rich adder]

thats why there is a "Large Code" section. which an entire class is

[rich adder]

no its not for Char limit, its mainly so its actually decently legible and with line numbers for referencing etc.

[eternal falcon]

vagustruman was unmuted.

[fickle plume]

https://paste.mod.gg/ also can contain multiple scripts

[last radish]

nav do you know what to do next perchance?

[rich adder]

did you make sure that function is running after you have meshes into your level

[last radish]

sorry i dont really understand the question

[sand mesa]

there. both scripts are present

[last radish]

wdym by added meshes into my level

like spawned the maze?

[rich adder]

could you explain the issue again with the hands / clock

[last radish]

the debug message does come one second after the maze is built, so if thats the question yeah

[rich adder]

yes

[sand mesa]

I can move the hour hand with right click

but it overlaps the minute hand, which I control with left click

I set both box colliders to "is trigger" but its not helping matters

[last radish]

so yeah i think so

[rich adder]

okay well its baking something thats why im curious if its happening after

[rich adder]

wait so what is supposed to happen instead?

[sand mesa]

left click rotates minute hand, and then right click rotates hour hand

[rich adder]

yes I get that but what is the main issue

i dont get it

[sand mesa]

as shown here, I put up a bool to show whether I am moving the hand at all when left or right clicking

right click works, left click doesn't

[rich adder]

ohh I see

[sand mesa]

is it because im using raycast?

or something to do with box colliders?

[rich adder]

did you verify your notWonYet conditions

OverlapPoint is correct

[sand mesa]

yeah, theyre based on the z rotation of the images

[rich adder]

do a Debug to see whats actually overlap

[sand mesa]

whats the command?

the doc doesnt exactly say

[rich adder]

overlapPoint returns a Collider2D

so
var overlapHit = Physics2D.OverlapPoint(etc.. Debug.Log(overlapHit.name)

[last radish]

so what do i do next?

is there any chance that there is something wrong with the objects in the maze because of which it cant be baked?

like do they need to have some component maybe?

[rich adder]

not if you left the settings to default

you can try checking the asset it generated to see what kind of size it has and all that

(NavMeshData)

[sand mesa]

okay. so update: after putting the debug code in the if statements of each class, it returns that the right click is working

[last radish]

im pretty sure this is fine, as the maze is 10(.01)x10 and the hwight is 0.5

[rich adder]

seems like its baking something big enough

are you sure gizmos are selected?

[rich adder]

wdym working, if its working it would be moving no ?

did you verify the important part? aka printing what Physics2D. is grabbing?

[last radish]

i think so, if i see the gizmos of light sources it should be on right?

[last radish]

and also ofcourse if navmesh is checked but its all the same as in thsi screenshot

[sand mesa]

So the condition for printing out the debug is

 if (Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0) && notWonYet)```

[rich adder]

normally yes, unless it was somehow toggled individually

[sand mesa]

just those two variables are what dictates if it rotates

so why is one overriding the other based on physics?

[rich adder]

yeah but this part wasnt the main concern, although important.

is actually grabbing anything at all to rotate on

[last radish]

how could i check for this?

and anyway i doubt it, as the ai is still "too far" from any navmeshes

[last radish]

yep its all checked

[rich adder]

after generating maze, select the floor or something and show the Transform component rq
actually anything that is the Root object

[sand mesa]

its only grabbing hour hand

[rich adder]

idk what this proves to me

you have to PRINT what is actually grabbed

[sand mesa]

debug is on bottom left

[rich adder]

oh..I had to fullscreen it .. best you keep the console window docked somewhere visible btw

also print which script is showing that

Debug.Log($"{name} says we grabbed : {grabbedItem}")

[last radish]

is this fine?

[rich adder]

Ok this might be a problem

[rich adder]

so the other one is not working at all ?

[sand mesa]

yes

[rich adder]

yes it works or yes it doesnt?

[sand mesa]

yes the one doesnt work

[last radish]

oh why

[sand mesa]

best assumption is that somehow the box colliders are cancelling one another and the hourhand collider is coming out on top

[rich adder]

the surface and the platforms, they have different rotations / axis alignment

I bet if you did -90 X on the Surface it could probably bake it

[undone dragon]

can someone help me out? i have this jumping mechanic in my game but it goes way too high. i turned down the air multilier but its still super high. i used this tutorial (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f473C43s8nEand) heres some stuff to show whats been happening.

[rich adder]

if the surface is at -90 on X why would surface be 0

[last radish]

yep sorry my bad

one slight problem its a quad and the bottom doesnt have a texture

[rich adder]

navmesh surface only bakes at specific plane defined in the rotation

[rich adder]

you dont need a face on the bottom

but the surface needs to match the top

[last radish]

still doesnt work though

[rich adder]

even with one side / backface culling Unity bakes both sides

[sand mesa]

maybe my way of determining position is off?

[rich adder]

is ur quad child of something?

[undone dragon]

@rich adder yk how to fix this?

[last radish]

yes

[rich adder]

if its the same code. it should be the same no?
does it not log any hit at all ? a

[last radish]

it is a child of mazecell which is empty

[rich adder]

whats the rotation on that?

[sand mesa]

Vector3 mousePos = myCam.ScreenToWorldPoint(Input.mousePosition);

[rich adder]

what about z position

[last radish]

0,0,0

[rich adder]

make sure its the same position as your sprites

[sand mesa]

both z positions of the sprites are the same... one second

ill check

[rich adder]

Okay i think the problem is with the Quad.

[last radish]

what would that be

[rich adder]

what about Jump force ?

thats mainly whats controlling how much force to push up

Air is just how much resistance you have in air

[undone dragon]

lemme try lowering it to 8

6 seems to be the sweetspot

thank u nav!

now i need a grappling system

[rich adder]

yeah Because I tried with Quad and didnt work, with Plane it worked

I think because its axis is fucking weird..

[last radish]

okay ill try to it with plane then

[last radish]

i really hope it doesnt fuck up the maze

[rich adder]

before you do anything make sure you make a backups

When i bake with plane it works fine, the Quad doesnt bake

its axis being all fucked up probably has something to do with it

[last radish]

maze still works, but no baking 😦

[sand mesa]

okay weird discovery... its stuck in camera position

not folloiwng my mouse

[rich adder]

also -30 seems pretty sus

[sand mesa]

not really once I figured out what its actually tracking

[rich adder]

yes u wouldnt want that to be the mouse Z tho

your objects at are , ideally at Z of 0 ?

var mousePosWorld = Camera.main.ScreenToWorldPoint(etc. mousePosWorld.z = 0

I always do this

[sand mesa]

so this is whats throwing it all off

[rich adder]

not saying thats it 100%

while Z is mainly important for rendering sorting if you dont use Order in Layer, in 2D iirc for the Physics overlap Z is depth

maybe its not within that depth

[last radish]

oh also nav, forgot to mention but whether or not the quad was a part of the problem is slightly irrelevatn, as the walls (which are cubes) are not baked either

so there has to be a problem elsewhere

i actually have no clue why this is happening

losing my mind

[rich adder]

walls would only bake if they had a TOP surface that was large enough

remember surface is only looking for a PLANE

[sand mesa]

... crap. Okay, mouse position has nothing to do with it, I think

[last radish]

oh nevermind me then

[rich adder]

its not gonna bake side of walls unless the navmesh surface was with the same rotation of wall

[last radish]

so i have to eventually once i get this working do another one for walls?

[rich adder]

it is if thats whats going into Physics.Overlap

Although the Z axis is not relevant for rendering or collisions in 2D, you can use the minDepth and maxDepth parameters to filter objects based on their Z coordinate. If more than one Collider overlaps the point then the one returned will be the one with the lowest Z coordinate value. Null is returned if there are no Colliders over the point.
https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.0/Documentation/ScriptReference/Physics2D.OverlapPoint.html

[sand mesa]

maybe OverlapColidder is what I need

no that ant it

[rich adder]

make sure you put the proper Depth for z, read what i sent rq
