[last radish]

any ideas as what to do nav?

[rich adder]

wait you replaced all Quads with Planes?

[last radish]

yep

changed the child of mazecell from being a quad to a plane

[rich adder]

okay I think the problem is its too small

and the minimum region area is probably too big

just noticed you scaled the floor at 0.1

[last radish]

okay so ill try to just add in a big plane somewhere and see if that bakes

[rich adder]

yeah try that first

[last radish]

it is baked but very wierdly

its above the plane

why is this happening first of all, and also if we get the offset fixed, i might just add in a plane that is inline with the small planes, and just not bake the small ones

i know its ineffcient but idc im very timepressured for this

[rich adder]

hmm yeah something is odd

[sand mesa]

welp I locked myself out of both of them

[rich adder]

wdym ?

[last radish]

im actually going to crash out why is this so complicated to do

[sand mesa]

 if (Input.GetMouseButtonDown(1) && notWonYet) // right click
 {
     if (hourHandCol == Physics2D.OverlapPoint(mousePos, 3, -0.5f))```

[last radish]

i swear baking should be straightforward

[rich adder]

normally it is lol

[sand mesa]

layer 3 is the hourhand layer

[last radish]

do you have any clues on what to do next?

[rich adder]

trying to think on what it could be , normally works fine out the box lol

[last radish]

how do i bake before runtime?

liek just baking the plane without running

[rich adder]

like the button on nav surface that says Bake

[last radish]

so i assing a nav surface to the plane and bake?

[rich adder]

mines not even baking regular cubes now wtf is happening

either that or my gizmos aint showing lol

[rich adder]

you dont need to assign anything

all the collection is done according to the Object Collection dropdown

[last radish]

i managed to bake it

good news the capsule did move

bad news

[sand mesa]

oh

[last radish]

whateever this is

[sand mesa]

i found the problem

both hands were on the same z coord

[last radish]

yes please! one baked prism on a plane!

[rich adder]

btw its generally a bad idea to configure things with the Center mode on the gizmos

[last radish]

what does that mean

[rich adder]

especially child objects

[rich adder]

with Center mode you're not seeing the true orgin of the object but a Center version of it.. So it may not always reflect where the exact pivot is

[last radish]

how do i turn that off

[rich adder]

shouldnt that still work ?

[sand mesa]

thats why the hour hand is working when the minute hand doesnt

[rich adder]

you don't "turn it off" , just switch it to Pivot mode

but if you already made all your tiles to match Center than you probably want to keep it for that or switch it as you go

[last radish]

i think ill keep it, im really not trying to touch anything unecessary im scared everything will brake atp

i actually have no clue what to do

[rich adder]

ohhh ok

[last radish]

even with the normal baking random triangles are popping up that stop my enemy from moving

[rich adder]

wdym random triangles

[sand mesa]

so how do I get the code to ignore the z positions..

one second

[last radish]

this screenshot

it may be hard to see

[rich adder]

it is.

hmm . you can control which objects get baked / wich area

actually now I think of it, it could be other layers

[last radish]

you see that lighter coloured blue right?

that is going up and its like a really big 3d triangle

[rich adder]

yeah because it baked something at a higher plane

so its trying to connect with a slope

[last radish]

yeah but there isnt anything there though

[rich adder]

try putting the Use Geometry to Colliders

[last radish]

still bakes wierdly

[rich adder]

whats over there ? by that slope

[last radish]

thats the "target"

my bad i didnt know it was there because the "enemy" stood on it completely

[rich adder]

over here is there something? maybe invisible collider?

ahh..shit..I gotta run out for like an hour or so' ill be back a bit later.

[last radish]

nope dont think so

[last radish]

no please :(((((

[rich adder]

dw there is others around here who know

probably more than me

[last radish]

thank you so much though

[rich adder]

there is also #🤖┃ai-navigation

Ill try to think of something though

[last radish]

oh damn alr ill try that

[sand mesa]

i think i found the most DUMBEST way to solve it

change the position of the sprites

whenever I left click

[last radish]

ok, so if anyone else could help with this i would highly appreciate it, how does one bake walls into navmesh that spawn after runtime?

i am generating a maze, and i need zombies walking around, and i have done the floor, so they do go towards the target, however they still go straight at the tarbet thrgouh walls

[hushed hinge]

yet how would everyone think when they play it?

[rich adder]

normally in the bake walls get carved out from the bake

[last radish]

Yeah but i tried implementing a script similiar to the one at the start, and they did not bake

like the floor(plane) is baked because i baked it before runtime but the walls no

[rich adder]

if its not baking its somehow not detecting the walls

[rich adder]

yeah because even doing this is wrong

they're supposed to bake them together

the walls. / obstacle provide the "negative" space to be subtracted from the NavMesh

[last radish]

hmm yeah i understand

but what am i meant to do

[rich adder]

hold on lets make a thread so we don't flood

[mortal ginkgo]

i'm making a top down roguelike
so far i have a player character that moves and can attack an enemy and kill it
but the attack can't turn
how do i make it turn to the direction of the mouse?

[last radish]

ill leave that up to you idk how to make a thread

[rich adder]

dir = (mousePos - origin).normalized

[mortal ginkgo]

this means nothing to my brain

[rich adder]

right click message and do create Thread

[rich adder]

to get a direction you can always substract the origin and targetpos

[last radish]

i am generating a maze, and i need

[mortal ginkgo]

but where do i place that

[rich adder]

well everytime you want to get the direction

usually every frame

Update

[mortal ginkgo]

ok thanks

[sand mesa]

I FIXED IT!

[rich adder]

whats with the handle moving up and down though

[sand mesa]

ez; MouseUp and MouseDown

  Vector3 mousePos = myCam.ViewportToWorldPoint(Input.mousePosition);
  if (Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0))
  {
      transform.position = new Vector3(transform.position.x, transform.position.y, -1);
  }
  if (Input.GetMouseButtonUp(0))
  {
      transform.position = new Vector3(transform.position.x, transform.position.y, 0);
  }```

[rich adder]

why

[sand mesa]

once I figured out the z position of the images were whats causing the override

[rich adder]

why not just put them in seperate layers then each one gets their own raycast + filter of that layer

[sand mesa]

I thought — just made it clear what it is you're moving

and make it move closer to the cam whenever you move it

and it functions, which is the most importaint bit

[rich adder]

yeah this goes beack to being a depth issue

[last radish]

nav btw i added in a few things into the thread if you want to read it

[rich adder]

I replied there you never replied lol

#1348388706213691418 message

[last radish]

i created two sorry

the first one was a bit misleading in name

[rich adder]

ok

[rich adder]

do you know what example code is ?

[mortal ginkgo]

nope

[rich adder]

means dont blindly copy verbatim

[mortal ginkgo]

this is code beginner channel

don't expect for us to know things

[rich adder]

well the word example is pretty common even outside of code

[mortal ginkgo]

never heard of it

[steel smelt]

@mortal ginkgo Beginners vary, assuming you know how to declare a variable wasn't unreasonable

[rich adder]

never heard of the word example ?

how

[mortal ginkgo]

english is not my first language

[rich adder]

so where is the new thread

[mortal ginkgo]

so uuh

can you explain it like i'm a baby?

(the code that is)

[steel smelt]

@mortal ginkgo Have you studied cartesian planes?

[mortal ginkgo]

what

[rich adder]

https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/scripting-vectors.html @mortal ginkgo

[steel smelt]

@mortal ginkgo If you don't know what cartesian planes are, I don't think anyone's going to be able to provide you with a basis for understanding the operation. So maybe just memorize that normalizing the output of (vector b - vector a) will give you a direction from a to b

[mortal ginkgo]

what

i just wanna know how to make my attack turn to my cursor 😭

[rich adder]

you need a very basic understanding on how vector math works if you want to make a game

[mortal ginkgo]

i will learn by seeing how it works

so show me

[rich adder]

I showed you

[steel smelt]

@mortal ginkgo Look up cartesian planes, do you remember that from high school?

[rich adder]

(b-a).normalized

thats your direction

how you apply that its up to you

[mortal ginkgo]

i'm IN highschool and have not learned that
especially in a different language

[rich adder]

for example transform.right = (b-a).normalized will turn towards that direction

[mortal ginkgo]

no just give me the code so i learn by example please

[rich adder]

I already gave you code

[steel smelt]

Oof

[rich adder]

there is not much more to it

it does not teach you anything by copy and paste, you should at very least undserstand what you're copying on How it works the way it does..

[mortal ginkgo]

learn that after seeing it

[rich adder]

and thats why I showed it to you

you have to create the variables yourself

[mortal ginkgo]

how do i get the mouse position

[rich adder]

if you dont know how to create / declare variables, then you're doing too much already and take a step back

[rich adder]

funny thing happens when you type that same exact thing into google as its a dead horse thats been beaten to a pulp at this point

magic 💫

[mortal ginkgo]

probably shouldn't be sarcastic when talking to a dum dum

[undone dragon]

anyone know how to import blender files into unity with textures? i tried it out and it wont work. screenshots and video below

[rich adder]

its not sarcasm its actually amazing

I wish I had these tools growing up

note how most will show two, MousePosition which is only a screen point, and MOUSE WORLD position which is in the world

[mortal ginkgo]

i am using it i'm talking about just telling me straight

[gleaming bridge]

Guys, just got a quick question when it comes to an inventory system in 3D
Should you be instantiating a selected item from your inventory every time you select it and destroy it after selecting another or should you turn it off until you select it again, basically making it invisible

[rich adder]

both are valid. Id prefer deactivation over instantiation

[gleaming bridge]

could you explain why?

[rich adder]

Dectivation only consumes resource when you create the item, after that its pretty much loaded in memory
the other one you need to create space in memory, then destroy releasing memory then create space in memory and so on

those computations arent free

they're pretty tiny though its probably being over the top

[grand snow]

not a code problem. you can apply your texture in unity easily or use something like gltf to export with the texture + material packed together.

[undone dragon]

the gltf doesnt render into unity

[grand snow]

Add the gltf package to make them work: https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.cloud.gltfast@6.10/manual/index.html

if your blender mat does more more complex stuff than just use the principled node then it wont export the mat properly

[grand snow]

add it properly... https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.cloud.gltfast@6.10/manual/installation.html

[fierce jetty]

Is there a better place for resources for smoother animations between my character states? All my animation fire correctly but it is really choppy. Maybe because they are just place holder animations from Mixamo but wondering if anyone has found some really good tutorials?

[rich adder]

this is a code channel

#🏃┃animation

[fierce jetty]

Sorry I assumed it has to do with how the code triggered the animations

[untold shore]

Hey yall, having some trouble figuring out how to exactly do something.
Currently attempting to figure out dictionaries, and one of things I wanted to have is whenever a button is pressed, itll move onto the next dictionary log (theyre ints, each moving upwards.)
Basically:

public void TimemakerTutorialDialogues()
    {
        sentencesaying = TimemakerDialoguePreGame[1];
    }

Then on button click, sentencesaying would equal TimemakerDialoguePreGame[2].
Is that possible?
Please @ me if you respond, thanks!

[wintry quarry]

Yes anything is possible but the way you're describing this it sounds more like you just want a list or array not a Dictionary

[rich adder]

why not just a List

[wintry quarry]

Dictionary doesn't make a lot of sense if your keys are just a consecutive series of integers - that's just an array/list

with any of these - you would just have a variable like int currentDialogueIndex; and do currentDialogueIndex++ when you want to move to the next one

and access the text with MyDialogues[currentDialogueIndex]

[untold shore]

Ohh that would be a lot better, Ill try that out. Thank yall!

[rich adder]

its difficult to say thats the case, you havent shared the code or more context to the setup lol

maybe a video of issue wouldn't hurt

[unborn kayak]

mmmm
is that good way to get data from script that are not MonoBehaviour?

[rich adder]

nothing is getting data here

but thats how you instatiate it to be accessed sure

[wintry quarry]

nothing here is getting data from anything. YOu're creating a few objects

[unborn kayak]

I thought I was getting data from namespace
Thank you yall

[wintry quarry]

namespaces are just parts of the names of your types

they don't contain any data

[unborn kayak]

Good to know

[rich adder]

basically its like "Categories" that those classes belong to , so they can be separated (so classes with same name dont cause Already Defined error)

help please!

[rich adder]

this is usually the editor taking a 💩

restart Unity, usually fixes it

some window, layout , tab got messed up drawing

[ionic zephyr]

and could that make my game scenes not pass to each other?

[rich adder]

normally this should not affect anything in the runtime

UnityEditor isnt a thing during Build

this error is probably as old as unity lol

I usued to get it a lot with having the animator docked with other windows but that was back in 2019

if it keeps happening after you restart unity, you can try Resetting your layout or, perhaps delete library folder and rebuild all cache

[small sandal]

can someone help me on the first screen shot i get a error telling me to use "IXRSelectInteractable" so i switch XRBaseInteractable with "IXRSelectInteractable". but then i get a error telling me that "IXRSelectInteractable" Does not contain a definition for "CompareTag." Im using the new XR Interaction Toolkit and Unity 6.

[wintry quarry]

Can you share the exact error for the first one?

[small sandal]

'XRBaseInteractor.CanSelect(XRBaseInteractable)' is obsolete: 'CanSelect(XRBaseInteractable) has been deprecated. Use CanSelect(IXRSelectInteractable) instead.'

[wintry quarry]

alright well since the latter is an interface there's no guarantee it's a Component with CompareTag

so you can do something like:

return base.CanSelect(interactable) && interactable is Component c && c.CompareTag(TargetTag)```

[mortal ginkgo]

how should i start learning unity (2d) other than "! learn"

[rich adder]

nothing wrong with learn

[small sandal]

this has seem to fix the error. Thank you!

[proud fossil]

asteroid one

[wintry quarry]

both, basically.

The bullet script should do something like call a function on the asteroid script. That function would split the asteroid

ohh ok thank you i was wondering if i should have seperate prefabs for each of the smaller asteroids i want to spawn with 3 different scriptable objects because im kinda not sure about this

[last radish]

Hey guys, for some reason this code i got off of a youtube video is not working for me at all(i cant move and i can only move my camera up and down). Is this something wrong on my end pr is the code just outdated? https://pastebin.com/RXZ1dXgw

[polar acorn]

Show the inspector of this object

[wintry quarry]

Also your console window when you're running the game

Almost certainly you made a mistake.

[atomic sierra]

so I'm getting this error TransientArtifactProvider::IsTransientArtifact call is not allowed when transient artifacts are getting updated

And i searched it up and i saw that it may just be a bug in unity 6

I assumed that was the case for me as well, since everything in my project seems to be working fine

I was just wondering how I could remove this error from appearing? because its kind of annoying

[last radish]

this is the inspector of the capsule, also there is nothing in terminal

right

ignore everything

turns out its meant to be assigned to the parent object not the capsule

anyways im falling through the ground why is that?

[rich adder]

either ground doesnt have collider or your player is already starting inside / below ground collider

[last radish]

the floor has a mesh collider and my character is a few feet above the ground

it seems to be a different problem sorry

either my character teleports into the ground, or onto the roof when it is played, depending on how high or low i put him

[rich adder]

do you have any other scripts besides the Player one

[last radish]

nope, well not on the object

i tried lowering the size of the character controller radius as it was quite big, and now i just teleport to being stuck to the roof

[rich adder]

uncollapse this capsule collider

[rich adder]

there's your issue

wait where is the other components now..

[last radish]

here

on the parent

[rich adder]

anyway you should not have any other collider for the body besides CC

CC is already a collider

[last radish]

is cc capsule collider or character controller

[rich adder]

Character Controller , sorry

[last radish]

oh okie dokie

thank you

[rich adder]

btw for event Character Controller can detect triggers for OnTriggerEnter

but if you need to detect another collider touching the CC (maybe pushing rigidbody boxes) use https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.0/Documentation/ScriptReference/CharacterController.OnControllerColliderHit.html

OnCollisionEnter doesnt work for CC

[ember sphinx]

Quick question? How do I add these things for my scripted code?

[rich adder]

fields ?

wdym "these things"

[wintry quarry]

what things?

[ember sphinx]

Mb

But still

[wintry quarry]

still what? Use your words.

[rich adder]

I'm gonna take a wild shot in the dark and assume your PlayerMovement or another script has some sort of compile error and cannot finish compiling so those fields won't show up yet

other than that you haven't given us much info to work with lol

[last radish]

My player can see through walls, i.e, player camera is clipping through the walls. How can i fix this?

looks like this (im looking into a corner and those are walls on the left and right

not a code question, check the camera's clipping settings

[rich adder]

near/far clipping

it’s from my friend.

so idk.

are you usig UVC ?

the other error is a #archived-networking question

[hallow rock]

nope.

[rich adder]

so remove the package

[hallow rock]

he is not using UVC.

okay.

he’s also asking what package.

as a start point.

[rich adder]

Version Control

its in the package manager

[hallow rock]

remove that.

yes

[hallow rock]

what’s next?

[rich adder]

I dont work with photon so i havent a clue

[rich adder]

well. Version Control is still there ?

[hallow rock]

mhm. so delete that version control menu)

[hallow rock]

delete that version control dropdown?

[rich adder]

its a package not a dropdown

[hallow rock]

delete that?

okay.

[rich adder]

you can remove it

cool think you.

[neon forum]

how would I be able to create a directory to store and read files from? Would I create a filepath as a string and then use Directory to create a directory?
And then if that is correct how would I create a new .json file? Like what would be the best way to go about this if I want my game to store player-created grid-maps

[rich adder]

didnt I send this info already ?

[neon forum]

It's less about the code and more about how I should go about this? Should I store this stuff in the game itself or should I make a folder outside the game to holde json files free for the player to observe?

[rich adder]

its not about the code only..

its the info I sent

#💻┃code-beginner message

[neon forum]

oh, I only read the code stuff and kinda overlooked the other text, lol

[rich adder]

particularly https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.0/Documentation/ScriptReference/Application-persistentDataPath.html

this is where we normally store files at

System.IO again to create Directory inside

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.io.directory.createdirectory?view=net-9.0

[neon forum]

okay I got it able to create it, but can you not convert a dict to a json and write it to a file? it comes out empty

[rich adder]

Unity doesn't serialize Dictionaries

thats why Newtonsoft was suggested

[neon forum]

ahhhhhhhhh I used the wrong json

[rich adder]

but you shouldn't just be saving a dictionary alone

you ideally want a SaveData object (struct or class)
mark it as System.Serializable

if you want to display Dictionary values in the inspector too you'd need a custom dictionary asset or use 2 structs

[sour fulcrum]

Does the SerializedDict from the rendering package show up in inspector somewhat nicely or is it just for data serialisation

[rich adder]

Does it? I haven't tried it but can give it a try

[sour fulcrum]

No clue!

[neon forum]

how do I invoke JsonConvert? I have added the package, do I have to use a 'using' at the top of the file?

[sour fulcrum]

I’ve always used ayellowpaper’s solution on the asset store

[rich adder]

you need the namespace ofc

[neon forum]

is it just newtonsoft?

[rich adder]

put the class the IDE should suggest it

also I sent the docs

https://www.newtonsoft.com/json/help/html/T_Newtonsoft_Json_JsonConvert.htm

[neon forum]

ok I got it working

well I got it working but I have a new error now that seems odd. Is that a memory value?

[rich adder]

are you trying to use .velocity somewhere ?

wait are you using rigidbody property in MB ?

[neon forum]

in MB?

[rich adder]

MonoBehaviour

[neon forum]

I either can't view monobehavior or it doesn't have it

[rich adder]

idk Im just guessing because you haven't provided much info

check the stack trace of the error

[neon forum]

it's trying to get rigibody from the gameobject tile, but I never gave the tile prefab a rigidbody

[teal viper]

What's "it"?

Share the error details.

[neon forum]

the "it" in question is a SerializedJson string serializedJson = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(tileStorage, Formatting.Indented, new JsonSerializerSettings() { ReferenceLoopHandling = Newtonsoft.Json.ReferenceLoopHandling.Ignore });

https://paste.mod.gg/diycteubrioi/0 this is the full stack trace error

[teal viper]

Are you trying to serialize a MonoBehaviour?

[neon forum]

I don't think so, a monobehavior is a component, so it would be visible on the gameobject on the editor, right?

[teal viper]

What are you trying to serialize?
Share the GridManager.saveExportGrid code.

[neon forum]

ok

[teal viper]

Or rather the whole script.

[neon forum]

gotcha

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

I'm trying to serialize a dict whose key match pair is a vector2d of it's x,y location and a game obj

[teal viper]

don't try to serialize a GameObject.

Or any unity object for that matter.

[rich adder]

tileStorage is the Dictionary i think..oh wait thats another script nvm..

[neon forum]

is it too much data and breaks the game?

breaks the serializer*?

[teal viper]

Yes. It's not just the amount of data but where and how it's stored.

[neon forum]

I just want to know to get a better understanding of unity

[wintry quarry]

mostly the problem is you don't have a way to serialize it properly

also yes it's not clear which bits you actually want to serialize

for example stuff like instance IDs are useless to be serialized.

[rich adder]

btw this is why i suggest having a wrapper class

public class SomeSaveData {
public Dictionary<T,T> whatever;

[neon forum]

would it be better to just have an enum property that describes each obj and store that in the dict instead?

so would having it as a class be better for saving it all?

or would it help readability or does it help the serializer serialize it?

[rich adder]

in the long run it will benefit you to have it all in one spot imo

[neon forum]

that makes sense, having it split would probably be for the better instead of hiding away in the grid manager

Is there a way for a script to reference another script without having to have a SerializedField Script of it?

[rich adder]

SerializedField is an attribute not really directly related to referencing

it just exposes private variables in the inspector, same as public would

so you mean Inspector refrences vs something else

generally at runtime you use GetComponent,or another form of DI instead of inspector

[neon forum]

Sorry, referencing was the wrong word, I think. I want to call methods from another script, but I feel like SerializeField-ing the script in a script would start making things messy

[rich adder]

referencing is correct

SerializeField doesnt control references though just want to make it clear.

it just helps you assign it inside the inspector

linking in the inspector is a like form of Dependency Injection in its own right
assigning a reference is just
MyCoolScript coolScript =
accessing is
coolScript.Whatever

[scarlet skiff]

someone explain to me how the hell i get 2/3 = 0.....

Full code: https://paste.ofcode.org/idB8vigbAs88iv5aT54GD2

[rich adder]

int division ?

havent looked yet hold on

[neon forum]

so using [SerializeField] is just an easier way to make sure the script is accessing the correct version of the script in the gameObject that it's in, but you can just assigning it with script name name = script?

[wintry quarry]

2/3 is 0 with a remainder of 2

so your computer is 100% correct

you can't store .666 in an integer variable

[neon forum]

honeycomb is an int not a float

[rich adder]

yup int division

[neon forum]

honeycombAmount

[scarlet skiff]

ohh becuase both are int, it gets an int value back

bro... im gonna crash out

thanks..

so i assume i just float(x/y)

[neon forum]

well you CAN but you won't get you want

[wintry quarry]

(float)x / y

or x / (float)y

[neon forum]

putting the x/y in parenthesis makes the division happen first, THEN cast to float

[wintry quarry]

yeah you'll just get 0 again that way

[neon forum]

PEMDAS or something

[scarlet skiff]

ngl i spent way too long on this 💔

[neon forum]

same

[rich adder]

happens to the best of us

[neon forum]

I think I've made 3 stupid mistakes that were just "this thing isn't enabled bozo"

and this has only been less than a week into development

[teal viper]

Script name has nothing to do with anything. If you don't want to use serialized fields, your only other option is to either provide the reference from another script, or use one of the Find methods and GetComponent.

[scarlet skiff]

"so 2/3 could NOT POSSIBLY be 0...." didnt know int devision was a thing

[neon forum]

ah, got it

[neon forum]

yeah INT doesn't store decimals, it WILL truncate and remove everything past the .

[rich adder]

it doesnt round it truncates the part past .

[teal viper]

Also, what you're referring to as "the correct version of the script" is what we call "instance of a script/class/struct" in programming.

[rich adder]

if you got 1.6 then its going to be 1 not 2

[teal viper]

Instances/types/classes is a core aspect of object oriented programming, so you probably should make sure you understand it correctly before proceeding.

[neon forum]

I do, I just completely forgot about that concept

[worthy tundra]

i have the weirdest problem.
somehow the children of an empty object are changing the pivot OF THE PARENT

[rich adder]

how? how you tested I mean

[wintry quarry]

press Z

[worthy tundra]

wait a second wtf

[rich adder]

ahh Center Pivot strikes again

[wintry quarry]

you need to be in pivot mode if you want to see the actual pivot location

Center mode takes the average of all the children

[rich adder]

Very good for rotating all the objects together, almost useless for everything else.
Thanks for setting it as default unity

[wintry quarry]

yeah It's super annoying that Center is the default

[worthy tundra]

thanks

[mighty cosmos]

i have a question how hard is it to do inverse kinematics?

[rich adder]

[teal viper]

"to do" like implement from scratch? Or use existing solutions in your project?

[mighty cosmos]

well, i do not want to use any kind of assests and atm i'm just trying to do IK on a box with 4 legs to see how it works and whatnot. so from scratch ig

[rich adder]

yikes. Why re-invent the wheel

unity has Animation Rigging package w IK

[wintry quarry]

That depends on how familiar you are with the math and how good you are at writing code.

[teal viper]

There are solutions provided by unity. It doesn't have to be a third party asset.

But yeah, implementing from scratch can be quite difficult

[mighty cosmos]

well main point is i wanna learn. and second i do not want to use assests beacause if i do that why not make the entire game with assets and not learn anything

[mighty cosmos]

well not much is why i asked here but ig it will take time fro me to learn

[wintry quarry]

I mean, do you manufacture a drill from scratch when you put up shelves?

Are you making a game or are you making an IK system?

[rich adder]

while thats true there is always a time where you just need something that works, plus you still need to learn a bit on how it works

[mighty cosmos]

i see

[teal viper]

If your goal is to learn,then sure, go ahead. If it's to make a game, then it's probably better to not reinvent the wheel.

[wintry quarry]

There's a difference between using tools and doing asset flips

[mighty cosmos]

so you're referring to a tool within unity that helps make them?

[teal viper]

Yes. There some support in Mecanim. And there's even more support in the Animation rigging package. Or whatever it's called.

[rich adder]

Animator already has some of it built in, the Animation Rigging package extends that and has neat features

https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.animation.rigging@1.3/manual/RiggingWorkflow.html

[mighty cosmos]

i see i'll take a look at my options from scratch and that as well. if i'm able to get a grasp of what is going on when doing it from start might as well learn if not i'll use those thanks

[polar dust]

certain assets can be an ideal jumping off point, especially for things you know will end up being replaced/worked on later on, or at least if needed. if all you want is ik, there isnt much harm in using an existing ik solution, you'll get what you want/need right now, and if it sucks you can always work on your own solution

in my own project, ive grabbed a number of free assets, knowing they are temporary. but its been enough to instantly make the game start to feel more like a real game

[restive lantern]

Hi, I am not sure what I did but after updating some packages my unity game log is now being filled with this error message:```
(Filename: currently not available on il2cpp Line: -1)

NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

(Filename: currently not available on il2cpp Line: -1)

(Filename: currently not available on il2cpp Line: -1)

NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

This only happens with release builds, not debug builds.

[teal viper]

Must be some code that is not supported in il2cpp. Or some stripped code(seeing how it doesn't provide file path and code line).

[restive lantern]

Odd. How do I figure out where that code is?

Can I get a stacktrace?

[teal viper]

Good question

[restive lantern]

Heh... if at least this would happen in debug builds

[teal viper]

Is there no option to output debug symbols in a release build?🤔

[restive lantern]

I have a .pdb so yes there are debug symbols.

But apparently that's not enough for a stacktrace

[teal viper]

Ok, then try attaching the debugger to the process.

[restive lantern]

Ohhhhh

[restive lantern]

Yeahhh sooooo... the debugger halts for a first chance exception but only shows the top frame where the exception occurs. It's not able to generate a stacktrace either apparently... 🥲🤦‍♂️

And even that top frame only shows up by address, no source information.

[teal viper]

Does it not show what module it's from?

[teal viper]

Can you take a screenshot?

[mellow zenith]

hey all, im following this tutorial
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l0emsAHIBjU&list=PLcRSafycjWFepsLiAHxxi8D_5GGvu6arf

and get this weird bug when I try to run it, ive fully resterted the project and did the steps from scratch, any ideas on what the problem is?

the code I am using is from https://github.com/SunnyValleyStudio/Grid-Placement-System-Unity-2022

[wintry quarry]

Looks like the preview object you're placing is itself blocking the raycast

I have not looked at your code or your tutorial but that's a super common pitfall people have with this kind of system and it results in exactly this kind of behavior

[mellow zenith]

its just weird that I followed the tutorial step by step and get this and he doesnt

[wintry quarry]

He did something different

with the collider on the preview object

or its layer

and the layermask if applicable

just make sure your ray is ignoring the placed object

and don't forget basic debugging skills like Debug.Log to print which object your raycast is hitting

Is the preview object even supposed to have a collider?

[mellow zenith]

u a smart man

this has taken me like a week

it was bc i was using a box collider

i think

on my prefab object

[ember sphinx]

So it says i have a "Assets\birdJump.cs(6,37): error CS1002: ; expected" but i put a semicolon on the exact line of code

[mellow zenith]

it isnt but im trying to figure out a way to click on the object and then do stuff to it like rotate and someone said to use a box collider

[wintry quarry]

You need to get out of restricted mode in VSCode, and make sure it's fully configured

right now it's not showing you your errors

(and yes you have a very obvious error that should be highlighted here)

[mellow zenith]

Thank u sm for ur help

[wintry quarry]

Ok but how does a box collider on the preview object help with that?

Don't just do random stuff you don't understand

[tribal token]

im planning on making a cutscene on my 3d game similar to genshin where the camera pans around, and when it comes to the dialogue the player would have to press a key or click something to skip, how should i approach that? should i use a timeline?

[shell orchid]

for some reason when i click my leave room btn it opens a lobby panel and i dont want it to do that i want it to keep it hidden idk what to do ive tried several methods but it just breaks my code https://pastebin.com/Mau5V8yr

[grand badger]

Protip make sure you understand the REASON why a solution will (or won’t) work — more important than making something work in early career.

—plus many people here just recommend random stuff due to misunderstanding the question or just wanting to help even with missing knowledge.

[ember sphinx]

thank you so much

[grand badger]

If you think all cutscenes will be simple enough, I recommend writing your custom cutscene code — for one reason only — it’s fun!

But if you’re not up for that a timeline and some input management will do.

[grand badger]

That’s almost 500 lines of code…

[wintry quarry]

double check the inspector for your leave room button

make sure it doesn't have any extra listeners

Also make sure you assigned the correct button to the startGameButton variable in the inspector

[tribal token]

is creating custom cutscene code generally better for interactive cutscenes?

[nimble apex]

Sprite[] cards = { p_card1.GetComponent<Image>().sprite....};```

if i change cards[0] , it will change the actual instance referred right?

[wintry quarry]

yes because Sprite is a class, which is a reference type

[nimble apex]

nice

because previously the code was something like

p_card1.GetComponent<Image>().sprite = ....;
p_card2.GetComponent<Image>().sprite = ....;
p_card3.GetComponent<Image>().sprite = ....;```

i couldnt stand it

[mellow zenith]

thanks 🙏🏼

[wintry quarry]

you should get rid of p_card1 etc

any time you have "numbered" variables, you should be using an array or a list instead

just do:

public Image[] cardImages;``` directly

[grand badger]

It’s more fun and very educational.
But other than that it gives you more control over everything, so yeah.
The downside is that it’s not exactly a walk in the park to do it.

[tribal token]

can you provide me a baseline on how should i do it, like what scripts should i make, some general functions that would be needed and etc. i have a hard time figuring out how to start it so this would be a tremendous help!

[grand badger]

Well first decide on how much of the built in tools you’ll keep.

If you want to keep standard “Animation” assets, you’ll need a “CutsceneManager” and a “Cutscene : ScriptableObject”

For absolute control, assuming you’re indeed a beginner, I recommend to just make “Cutscene” a MonoBehaviour that completely takes over the scene’s behaviour, and can reference anything that’s needed

[nimble apex]

the situation is worse than i thought, all aspects, functions, classes was written in card1,card2,card3...etc

[grand badger]

Even if you go with timeline, CutsceneManager should normally have “Start/EndCutscene(Cutscene)” that’d lock input and begin behaviour related to the cutscene, and potentially other methods that enable conditional input controls or behaviours.

[nimble apex]

-> before

element[0].get("c1");
element[1].get("c2");
element[2].get("c3");
....```

-> after
```cs
Sprite[] sprites =
{
    c_Holdem[0].GetComponent<Image>().sprite,
    c_Holdem[1].GetComponent<Image>().sprite,
    c_Holdem[2].GetComponent<Image>().sprite,
    c_Holdem[3].GetComponent<Image>().sprite,
    c_Holdem[4].GetComponent<Image>().sprite
};

for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++)
{
    sprites[i] = cardSprites.GetCard($"c{i++}");
}```

[tribal token]

this is just perfect thank you!

[eternal needle]

that c_Holdem[0] and all those could also be changed to a loop just like you have below..

[nimble apex]

yeah i just bandaided them all

oh damn

[eternal needle]

nvm on my last part

[nimble apex]

yeah

imma little brainded now 😭

[nimble apex]

for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++)
{
    c_Holdem[i].GetComponent<Image>().sprite = cardSprites.GetCard($"c{i++}");
}```

[grand badger]

ye. And this time it’ll at least work lol

I++ tho

[eternal needle]

i do really question why you need to pass a string$"c{i++}" instead of an int

[grand badger]

You might wanna sleep xD

[nimble apex]

u know poker got 4 suits 13 cards each right?

[eternal needle]

also yea that i++ is gonna mess up the index, this will skip over values

[nimble apex]

the data of "which poker" we get is "C1 , S2 ,SA , H2.... etc"

[grand badger]

Issue is you’re increasing “I” which is used by the for loop

[nimble apex]

only data that will parse from server

so everytime when we receive the info, we need to do conversion

[eternal needle]

no matter what system you're making, you dont need to use strings. could you not just pass 2 ints in that case?

or use an enum, just something representing whatever C, S, H is and then the number

[nimble apex]

too late, the game is near production and all codebase is set, it is what it is now

so, instead of letting server team rewrite the parsing, i gonna do the conversion in a better manner

hold on

if u wanna see the hellish conversion before

after i rewrite the whole thing

[nimble apex]

this is what i do after i rewrite the whole thing

instead of making 52 items list, i gonna do serialized object

[eternal needle]

well im suddenly happier that I dont have to work with any of those codes

[nimble apex]

theres way too much occasion where u cant uproot those code cuz they burrowed to deep

then u gotta think of a way to bandaid it

at least make it looks nicer

parsing faulty datatype is another thing, they even reference static utility objects with dynamic approach

which i need to rewrite also

like cards, 4 suits 13 cards each right? it wont change, its constant

they made an empty object on manager class, stored references of all the tokens, cards thats immutable, and load them all into managers during initialization

and ignore that object after its loaded, just let it stay there

[eternal needle]

im not too sure what level of skill you're working with, naturally i assume its a job whenever people mention working in groups but I have a feeling (and hope) that this is more school work/friend group. In which case 🤷‍♂️ if it works it works
in a more professional setting, these kind of things should be planned so a bad solution isnt planted so deep in the first place

[nimble apex]

this is a legit company that made apps based on client request

yeah, normal unity app dev team

the "normal" is very subjective here🤓 ☝️

[eternal needle]

welp im at a loss. if it works it works i guess, the outcome of producing quantity over quality

[nimble apex]

in fact , they spent 9 yrs working on single project, and still havent gone to production

however, because the boss , or the client is nice as hell, they still willing to sponsor us and give us money to sustain

thats why we dont have any products but still able to live for decades

[grand badger]

kyubey your code still has a bug

[nimble apex]

no way😭

oh that one

[nimble apex]

AllCards cards = CommonHeaderController.Instance.g_HistoryCardSprites;
for (int i = 0; i < 3; i++)
{
    int j = i++;
    c_ThreePokerCard.c_CardFrame[i].GetComponent<Image>().sprite = cards.GetCard($"c{j}");
}```

ty 👍

[eternal needle]

I dont know if this does what you think, maybe print out the values of i and j.

or just run this code https://dotnetfiddle.net/C44Dwq
a++ essentially means increment a after this line runs
b is assigned to 0, a increases by 1

[nimble apex]

frame[0] , query is "c1"
frame[1] , query is "c2"....etc

so c{i++} while frame[i]

wut

[eternal needle]

what you have is backwards then, look at the code link i sent above

but really just dont use ++, its confusing here for anyone. just do j = i+1

[nimble apex]

ok 😭

[grand badger]

Try going for simple code instead of edgy lol

For example even your variable naming is edgy

Some are prepended with c while others with g

[nimble apex]

i didnt name those object they are previous curses

😭

i will never name something with prefixes

private int _number, m_number //nope
private GameObject c_xxxxx , a_xxxx, m_xxxx //nope```

```cs
private int number //yes
private GameObject xxxxx , <class/system>_xxxxx //yes```

[native widget]

Is it true that unity does not have code stripping?

[charred spoke]

No

[topaz mortar]

If I build my project, does Unity automatically filter out all the Debug.Log messages?
Or do I have to manually remove all of them for production?

[keen dew]

Debug.Log calls stay in builds

[mortal ginkgo]

i'm making a top down roguelike. so far i have a character that moves and attacks (melee) in one direction and enemies that die
how do i make the attack follow the direction of the player?

[chrome apex]

Wait, does trigger inside another trigger work? Suprisingly, google gives 0 results

for 2 on trigger stays

[topaz mortar]

there's a lot of tutorials on this on YT

[robust harness]

Im guessing its a 2d project and you dont rotate the player based on his last input (just like 3d games do)? Would be great if you sent the code for the melee though

Off the top of my head id create an enum and set it to whatever the last input was (if the player pressed "W" then the enum would be forward for example) and then put the attack direction based on whatever the enum is, but i bet theres a better solution then that

[naive pawn]

well the debug messages aren't going to be seen in a production build
so they won't really have an affect
if you're worried (for some reason..) you can always use #if UNITY_EDITOR

[nimble apex]

i want to have half static field for my poker card objects , mostly references to gameobjects
i know SO can do that , but the problem is 3 out of 54 cards (4 suits 13 cards + 2 joker cards) will be changed during runtime, on initialization stage

is SO still fine for that? cuz u shouldnt change content inside it?

[teal viper]

This is basically a singleton pattern, and imho SOs are not the appropriate place for these fields.

[nimble apex]

aight , ty 👍

[topaz mortar]

For a 2d top-down game with 4 (8) directional movement, if I set up my player GO with a Dynamic RigidBody2D and my monsters also with a Dynamic RigidBody2D but select IsTrigger on the Collider2D.
This should prevent my player & monster from ever pushing eachother?
But I can still use forces to move them manually? For example some monsters might push the player back. Sword swings will knock some monsters back, ...
How flexible and future proof is this setup?
Or is there a setup that offer much more flexiblity? I'm ok with doing some up-front work to get everything working, I'm looking for long term performance and flexibility. It's a multiplayer game.

[surreal minnow]

How can I split a mesh along a plane? Trying to find examples online but I can't find what I am looking for

[restive lantern]

Just GameAssembly.dll

[restive lantern]

Sure I'll do it when I am back on my PC

[teal viper]

Then you probably didn't load the pdb.

[restive lantern]

It is loaded, if I set a breakpoint in known code and it halts, stuff shows up as expected

[teal viper]

Then that's not the module where you said it threw an exception.

[restive lantern]

I'll grab a screenshot when I am on my PC

Just woke up 😅

[sand moss]

Hi, I have been working on instant games facebook. Does someone has experience with it. I want to know how if there is sdk for it as there is a documentation for it but I am not able to find a way to instan it.

[bitter apex]

is there a way to get which ui button has been pressed? I'm struggling to word what I want, but when I press a button I want that button that has been pressed to be used in a script. Right now, I have about 6 different buttons which all do (roughly) the same thing, but in a different way. I can't pass through parameters into a method using an OnClick() event, so I need another way to get that button in the code.

[bitter apex]

Nevermind, I think I have figured it out

[restive lantern]

@teal viper I have decided to try another debugger, and indeed this one tells me more:cs Thread 1 "014c" received signal SIGABRT, Aborted. 0x00006fffff3fcfc7 in RaiseException () from kernelbase.dll gdb> bt #0 0x00006fffff3fcfc7 in RaiseException () from kernelbase.dll #1 0x00006ffff4429bfc in WriteZStream () from GameAssembly.dll gdb> Now the question is, what is WriteZStream?

Yes I have searched Google, but didn't find a real answer

Apparently it is a somewhat common problem though but none of the solutions I could find really matches

[austere crypt]

public void DestroyTree(TreeData treeData)
{
    var treeInstancesToRemove = new List<TreeInstance>(terrainData.treeInstances);
    Debug.Log(treeInstancesToRemove.Count);
    treeInstancesToRemove.RemoveAt(treeData.index);
    Debug.Log(treeInstancesToRemove.Count);
    terrainData.SetTreeInstances(treeInstancesToRemove.ToArray(), false);

    Vector3 tempCoord = treeData.position;


    float[,] heights = terrainData.GetHeights((int) tempCoord.x, (int)tempCoord.x, 1, 1);
    terrainData.SetHeights((int)tempCoord.x, (int)tempCoord.y, heights); 
}

trying to remove tree but not working

[verbal dome]

Do the logs say that the list count goes down?

[austere crypt]

Yep

[restive lantern]

I have found the problem. There was an outdated native plugin that didn't match the rest of the package somehow.

[verbal dome]

I don't see why it wouldn't work then. Just to test, try terrainData.treeInstances = ... instead of terrainData.SetTreeInstances(...)

Also make sure you are referencing the correct terraindata

[teal viper]

Take a screenshot of what it looks like in VS

There is any way to destroy or update tree Collider in terrain except turning off/on terraincollider after destroying trees in runtime

[timber tide]

https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.0/Documentation/ScriptReference/TerrainData.html

[mortal ginkgo]

i'm making a top down roguelike. so far i have a character that moves and attacks (melee) in one direction and enemies that die
how do i make the attack follow the direction of the player?

[timber tide]

Transform.Forward is the player's current forward direction relative to the parent brain fart, it's always converted to a world direction

[mortal ginkgo]

oh thanks

[mortal ginkgo]

but i'm still a beginner, can you show me how it would be used?

[timber tide]

So basically the whole terrain is built of one collider, ground and trees included. Destroying the trees requires a complete rebuild of the mesh collider, so the idea is you destroy as much trees in that frame then tell the terrain to rebuild. This could be somewhat taxing if you aren't chunking the terrain that much, but otherwise you could just populate it without the brushes. Oh, I think painting with detailed meshes would work too

[timber tide]

You can simple just say projectile.transform.rotation = player.transform.rotation as well

or attack or whatever choice of weapon

[mortal ginkgo]

ok thanks

[mortal ginkgo]

how do i get the player into the attack script?

It might also be .right or .up if it's 2D

so uuh

i feel dumb but i feel proud cuz i tried

it's a weird feeling

[mortal ginkgo]

heeeelp meee i feel so dumbbb but i shouldn't cuz i know i'm completely new

[runic lance]

you should first !learn the basics, otherwise you're never going to be able to progress with this

[eternal falcon]

:teacher: Unity Learn ↗

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

[runic lance]

this is not a question of being dumb, you're totally capable of learning 👍
but it doesn't help to come here every few hours asking for someone to fix your issue

[mortal ginkgo]

but it's sooo boooring

[runic lance]

we're more than happy to help, but you must also put some effort

[steel smelt]

Maybe find a hobby that you don't think is boring

[mortal ginkgo]

i need more stimulation and idk why that is

[hexed terrace]

today's world of instant gratification in small bite sized content

[mortal ginkgo]

i just need to also be asking

[mortal ginkgo]

also i don't want this as a hobby i want this to be my job
there is literally nothing else i'm interested in

[fickle plume]

Then you should really be starting with courses you've been recommended already not random tutorials.

[mortal ginkgo]

i tried !learn

[modest dust]

Did you finish the pathways?

[fickle plume]

What does "I tried" means?

[mortal ginkgo]

couldn't

[modest dust]

Because?

[fickle plume]

Pathways course is on rails. You just have to watch/read lessons and follow interactive parts. It's impossible to fail that. "I tried" here means literally "I was too lazy to follow basic instructions"

[mortal ginkgo]

i just couldn't get myslef to finish it
it's like something is phisically pulling me back and my chest tightens

i WANT to

it's just painful

[fickle plume]

You don't even have to remember everything, the point of courses is to make you aware of information, so you know what is possible. Programming does not require you to learn everything right away. Just to know how to use learning resources and know where to lookup stuff.

[modest dust]

It will be pretty hard for you to turn this into a job if you can't even finish a single course.
It's interactive, no one tells you to read 400 pages of documents to learn anything straight away, it's one of the best things a beginner can have. You watch a video and follow along, learning basic info about the engine, how to use it, where to find more. I struggle to find anything painful about it.

[scarlet skiff]

the script on the dragonfly object. why wont it register collision?

[mortal ginkgo]

no i mean getting myself to do it is painful
i WANT to do it
i KNOW i can do it
my body is telling me NO

[modest dust]

Just sit down, focus, and learn, there is no other way, complaining won't fix anything

You command your body

[mortal ginkgo]

my body says your chest is now tight and hurts now

[modest dust]

The best way to get yourself into doing something is.. to just do it. Your brain will quite quickly focus at the task at hand once you focus and start spending some time on it.

[steel smelt]

Yesterday in a discussion, @mortal ginkgo mentioned being in high school. There's the reality that they might not currently have a very strong base to link new concepts to, making some of the learn stuff overwhelming. We've all done that at some point, tried to learn something interesting only to realize we were missing too many pieces to currently understand it.

The only problem here carbs is that people believe you're not meeting them halfway. Saying you don't want to put in the work whilst expecting others to do it for you feels disrespectful to the community and the time that people have spent learning.

[steep whale]

im very tired. I rewrote my PlayerMovement and im getting these, I dont understand why. I dont have a duplicate script, I only have 2 scripts, PlayerMovement and ThirdPersonCamera

Assets\Script\PlayerMovement.cs(5,14): error CS0101: The namespace '<global namespace>' already contains a definition for 'PlayerMovement'
Assets\Script\PlayerMovement.cs(22,18): error CS0111: Type 'PlayerMovement' already defines a member called 'Update' with the same parameter types

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

public class PlayerMovement : MonoBehaviour
{
    [Header("Movement")]
    public float moveSpeed;
    public Transform orientation;
    float horizontalInput;
    float verticalInput;
    Vector3 moveDirection;
    Rigidbody rb;

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

    }

    private void Update()
    {
        MyInput();
    }

    private void FixedUpdate()
    {
        MovePlayer();
    }

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

    }
    private void MovePlayer()
    {
        // callculate movement direction
        moveDirection = orientation.forward * verticalInput + orientation.right * horizontalInput;
        rb.AddForce(moveDirection.normalized * moveSpeed * 10f, ForceMode.Force);
    }
}

[prime lodge]

why this doesnt work?

[scarlet skiff]

anyone who knows a little more about collision than i do could give me a pointer here

[ripe shard]

cause Set() doesn't accept a vector3

[keen cargo]

you might have two copies of the same playerMovement script on an object, or you might have another copy on another object somewhere in the scene

[ripe shard]

think for a second what that means

[steep whale]

script is not attached to any object yet. it wont attach because compile error 😮

[steel smelt]

@prime lodge Look at the signature in your IDE

[verbal dome]

Even if you put the correct arguments into Set, it won't work here
You are modifying a property (eulerAngles) of a property (rotation) as a copy

[fickle plume]

If you don't figure out how to get into "work" mode, you'll have much more problems later.

Generally you don't overexert yourself, do plenty of breaks to not create negative feedback. Some people use music to get into work mode. Keeping routine with specific time helps a lot. Switching off external distractions like socials, including discord.

[mortal ginkgo]

and it makes me wanna cry when someone says "have you tried trying?" when my chest feels like it's about to explode

[scarlet skiff]

the script on the dragonfly object. why wont it register collision?

[keen cargo]

oh yes i know this feeling exactly, even now I'm currently trying to study for a C++ exam lol

you have to figure out some way to make working feel good, you might just have been overstimulated from outside sources so it's hard to get working

[wintry quarry]

no you literally have two of the code files

[ripe shard]

also https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.0/Documentation/ScriptReference/Transform.Rotate.html

[steep whale]

nothing worth having comes easy. i find game dev, especially when youre shooting for concepts that are at parity with what inspired you to attempt to create in the first place, will lead you down a path that will be full of obstacles that you must get through by paying pain. what does pain look like? usually frustration and wasting time. the objects relent, iteration demands perfection, but your cost is staying with it even when you want to tear your own head off

[wintry quarry]

check the assets folder

[keen cargo]

yea script files can be a bit sneaky

[keen cargo]

because that has to be some kind of duplicate file or instance somewhere

[wintry quarry]

it can be in any of those folders

[steep whale]

ive dug around, its a brand new project, how can i hvae two? I entertained that it could exist, but im not finding it

[wintry quarry]

It can also be in the ThirdPersonController script

like you might have just defined the class in that script as well

[steep whale]

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

public class ThirdPersonCamera : MonoBehaviour
{
    [Header("References")]
    public Transform orientation;
    public Transform player;
    public Transform playerObject;
    public Rigidbody rb;

    public float rotationSpeed;

    private void Start()
    {
        Cursor.lockState = CursorLockMode.Locked;
        Cursor.visible = false;

    }

    private void Update()
    {
        //rotation orientation
        Vector3 viewDir = player.position - new Vector3(transform.position.x, player.position.y, player.position.z);
        orientation.forward = viewDir.normalized;

        // rotate player object
        float horizontalInput = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal");
        float verticalInput = Input.GetAxis("Vertical");
        Vector3 inputDir = orientation.forward * verticalInput + orientation.right * horizontalInput;

        if (inputDir != Vector3.zero)
            playerObject.forward = Vector3.Slerp(playerObject.forward, inputDir.normalized, Time.deltaTime * rotationSpeed);
    }
}

[wintry quarry]

Just serach for PlayerMovement in your IDE

[keen cargo]

stupid question, but you've tried restarting unity too right? sometimes the compiler thinks multiple instances are running at the same time

[steep whale]

i tried restarting, reimporting the entire project

._.

[keen cargo]

ok this is quite weird

[steep whale]

fuck i found it

theres a script for movement in this asset pack

die die die, i will kill

[scarlet skiff]

anyone?

[keen cargo]

ohh lmaooo

[steep whale]

thank you everyone, love you @keen cargo @wintry quarry

[keen cargo]

debug it

[scarlet skiff]

debug what

[keen cargo]

though also i wouldn't call collisions off of object names

it's better to do it off of tags or layers even

[scarlet skiff]

i know but im looking for a specific singular object here so

dont wanna make a tag for just this one object, makes it harder in the end

[verbal dome]

Put a debug.log in the ontriggerenter method to see if it even runs in the first place

[steep whale]

my best advice is to sub to GPT and feed your code to the o3-mini-high model for your particular problem. it's not great at creating its own code but it is pretty good at spotting errors in logic

[scarlet skiff]

as long as i rename every pinecone i spawn to exactly "pinecone", which takes just one line of code, i should be fine

[keen cargo]

use deepseek instead

[scarlet skiff]

i tried that, didnt do me good

[steep whale]

whichever you prefer, yeah

[steep whale]

basic GPT or the reasoning model? the result difference is vast

[scarlet skiff]

i tried with the bing ai, im feeding it chatgpt plus rn... lets see

[verbal dome]

Btw I would replace the second if-statement with cs if(collision.gameObject.TryGetComponent(out PineCone p))

[scarlet skiff]

usually it just asks me "hey have you made sure u attached the right tags or layers" as if the image doesnt clearly show that yes, i did

[prime lodge]

but why it doesnt work now

[wintry quarry]

that doesn't do anything

you want trasnform.rotation = Quaternion.Euler(0, 50, 0);

[scarlet skiff]

its a pinecone object, its guaranteed to have pinecone script, no need to check if its null or not

[wintry quarry]

you're calling Set on a copy of the quaternion. Also that's not how quaternions work even if that syntax was correct.

[prime lodge]

then what it is for

[wintry quarry]

You're misusing a function and using it incorrectly

Set works this way:

Quaternion x;
x.Set(0, 0, 0, 1);
transform.rotation = x;```

Set modifies a Quaternion in-place. You're calling it on a copy of the object's rotation which then gets discarded.

So your code does nothing

[prime lodge]

okay thanks for help

[verbal dome]

The whole point is to check if it is a pinecone object with TryGetComponent instead of name and layer checks and whatnot
CompareTag is another decent option to identify it

[wintry quarry]

You also are trying to plug euler angle rotations into a Quaternion's xyzw fields which is not how they work

[scarlet skiff]

oh smart

so liek this?

[verbal dome]

That looks less smelly to me, yeah

[modest dust]

You can always go on a break, play some music, relax, keep a routine of daily 30-60 minutes of learning with frequent breaks, completing the course step by step. Gamedev is something a lot of people go into because they like it, so in most cases learning something new should be a fun experience or challenge... not something that makes your chest explode. So try and make it enjoyable. Learning about the source of why exactly it's so 'painful' could also help.

[scarlet skiff]

but yea detection still wotn work

[verbal dome]

So did you confirm that ontriggerenter is even getting called?

[keen cargo]

put a debug in the beginning of the ontriggerenter function

[timber tide]

if something doesnt work then your first instinct should be to log it to the console

[verbal dome]

The method might not trigger if you are moving the object(s) via transform instead of via rigidbody

Or messed with the physics2D layer matrix

[keen cargo]

another thing is that the object may have an infinitely small collider, so you may want to check that the colliders add up too

[scarlet skiff]

it does, cuz the if statement above works

[verbal dome]

Log the object you are colliding with

Debug.Log("Trigger entered: " + collision.gameObject.name, collision.gameObject);```

This logs the name and also lets you highlight the object when you click on the log once (second argument)

[scarlet skiff]

i think its becuase of this:
only one of them has the script, but idk why it would only specifically ignroe the one im going for

im tryna get the parent

[verbal dome]

Was gonna ask if any children are involved

[scarlet skiff]

maybe i should do a get parent

[verbal dome]

What components does the parent have and what does the child have?

[scarlet skiff]

child is trigger col, parent normal col + pinecone script + rb

and parent has items layer, child doesnt

its so player can walk through an item when they have full inv, and pick it up otherwise, thats why i needed the trig col

[verbal dome]

collision.gameObject might reference the child because it has the collider. I forget how exactly it works in 2D with trigger colliders

[scarlet skiff]

but also needed a normal col to collide with the ground

[scarlet skiff]

yea i mean there is no other possible case here, it has to be referencing the child

i guess, ill just have to get parent

[verbal dome]

You would know if you just... logged it

[soft creek]

hi, i have a question. How i can chance the string of a Text Mesh Pro to a int?

[verbal dome]

I gotta ask, why do you want to do this?

You aren't storing a score in a text mesh pro are you?

Or is it an input field?

[soft creek]

no, is for the player, to put the size of the map he want

[verbal dome]

Probably int.TryParse

[soft creek]

i use it, but it return to me 0

There's a case where the text object has an extra invisible symbol at the end, this might be causing the issue

[last radish]

Is there any way to turn off/manipulate all lights in a scene using scripts? I want to periodically flicker and then turn all lights off in the scene

[ripe shard]

maintain a list of them, then iterate the list to modify the lights

[last radish]

is there not any way to find them in code? i,e, if i tag them all as a light, or something like that?

[verbal dome]

Sure, but you might as well add a component to them and avoid the FindX methods.

[ripe shard]

you can use FindObjectByType , but thats too slow for calls in Update()

[verbal dome]

Add to list in OnEnable, remove from list in OnDisable

Or Start & OnDestroy

[steel smelt]

@last radish Can also have an event driven approach. Make a custom component for your lights. Make a power class with OnPowerOn OnPowerOff events and let lights handle themselves

[soft creek]

Ok, it works, tnahkyou

[scarlet skiff]

was it continuous that was more effecient in detecting? like even if thigns are going fast etc

[wintry quarry]

It's not more efficient

it's more accurate

it's less efficient.

[scarlet skiff]

ye thats what i meant

but welp, either way collision didnt wanna work

i give up

unless i pause the game and place the object inside the other one myself, it doesnt want to detect the collision

[upper night]

anyone able to help with using Resources.LoadAll<Texture2D>(cardsPath);

its not loading the textures in the path the cardsPath is "Assets/Resources/Sprites/Cards/Faces"

and in the script its set too " public string cardsPath = "Sprites/Cards/Faces";"

all objects in the folder are texture2d set to sprite2d and ui

i have also tryedResources.LoadAll<Sprite>(cardsPath);

[scarlet skiff]

the projectile movement code

[rich adder]

doesnt seem its moving too fast

also that flip chain is crazy...

[scarlet skiff]

the items are quite small tho

[rich adder]

oh yeah that might be an issue..

[scarlet skiff]

i know i know... i could probably reference it when the item is picked up rather than this but

it works so

[rich adder]

it works but its pretty flimsy , wouldnt GetComponentInParent do fine ?

[scarlet skiff]

its on the parents parent

[rich adder]

it can reach up there

unless there was another in the child of that parent

GetComponentInParent / GetComponentInChildren just does recursion up/down

[scarlet skiff]

so gameObject.transform.parent.GetComponentInParent<SpriteFlip>() ?

[scarlet skiff]

oh so just the GetComponentInParent by itself?

[rich adder]

even gameObject.GetComponentInParent would do

it stops once it hits one if any component

[scarlet skiff]

so goes up a parent, checks, goes up a parent again, checks again, etc

[rich adder]

yup thats recursion

[scarlet skiff]

well i keep it mind

but before i change any scripts i wanna solve the two issues i got

[rich adder]

how small are they scaled ?

Unity doesnt really like small/big physics objects

[rich adder]

oh .5 should not be too bad..

[scarlet skiff]

the rectangular gizmo is the typical camera size when u starta a new project

[rich adder]

I thought it was something like 0.06.
your current size afaik shouldn't be issue

what are you using to detect collision ?

or you mean just in general, not code

[scarlet skiff]

im more worried about a different issue. i changed items to be picked on on ontriggerstay2d instead of on enter, and it picks up items as soon as there is free inventory in space, unlike before u had to exit col then enter again, which is what i want.

btu then when i disabled the items layers from interacting with each other, somehow i have to exit collision before entering again for me to be able to pick up items

[scarlet skiff]

ontriggerenter2d

[rich adder]

You mean like OnExit doesnt get called when you disable collisions .

[scarlet skiff]

no i mean Stay started acting like Enter

[scarlet skiff]

well not really like enter, but i have to move for it to activate

[rich adder]

ohh so its not detecting if you stay in the trigger?

[scarlet skiff]

yes, but i have to stand still too for it to not detect

but i want it to detect even if im standing still

[rich adder]

You know what I would do tbh. Forget all this trigger stuff and just use an Overlap

that always works reliably

[scarlet skiff]

that could work for the firts issue, but for item pick ups i need the range to be exacty the size of the trigger collider i have rn

[rich adder]

thats a non-issue. What shape is the collder

you can still use a collider for sizing purposes

eg Collider2D hit = Physics2D.OverlapCircle(pos, circleCollider.radius, layerMask );

if(hit.TryGetComponent(out SomeComponent comp))
comp.Stuff

[vernal bison]

this didnt change anything :(

[rich adder]

you didn't do it correctly then.
and what is "this" thats pretty vague

[surreal minnow]

I am doing a boolean operation to subtract a mesh from another mesh. The issue is if I use two meshes that already exist in the game, the inside faces are fine. But if I use prefabs then the inside faces are gone:

Anyone that might know why?

[rich adder]

where's the code question ?

[vernal bison]

the guide

[rich adder]

"the guide"

you realize, there are 3

[vernal bison]

visual studio manually

[scarlet skiff]

rectangle

[rich adder]

so did you check the Unity Workload is installed and the editor is set in the Preferences?

[vernal bison]

yes

[rich adder]

show it

[rich adder]

okay so use a OverlapBox

then pass it the colliders size

[surreal minnow]

It is too large/spread out to be easily presentable but I don't think the issue is the method so I am not sure what to do

I looked around and someone said it could be because of backface culling

[rich adder]

well then are we supposed to guess by this screenshot alone ?

[surreal minnow]

It could also be that it is all done in one frame (right after the cube is Instantiated)

[surreal minnow]

Educated guess

[rich adder]

no idea then sry

[surreal minnow]

Do you know how I can disable backface culling?

[rich adder]

the MeshRenderer i think has two render modes

[verbal dome]

^Either that, or your material has double sided enabled

Or the mesh actually has triangles on both sides

[surreal minnow]

If I look inside the mesh I dont see the face

[verbal dome]

Then it is culled

Do you want to see the face?

[surreal minnow]

Yup

[surreal minnow]

Picture on the left is what I want

Dynamic occlusion?

[verbal dome]

So much details missing. What are you using to do a boolean operation? What does "use prefabs" or "use meshes that exist" mean in this context?

[surreal minnow]

I am using the method from ProBuilder and what I mean is that it works if the meshes are already in the scene before the game runs

and the prefabs are instantiated during runtime and those have the missing faces

[verbal dome]

Does not really seem code related, #🛠️┃probuilder probably knows

All I can say is look for errors/warning in the console when you do the operation

[rich adder]

I think they are using the API in probuilder to do the Boolean function

[verbal dome]

Better show some code in that case

[rich adder]

are you using code or just the probuilder window?

[verbal dome]

What API are you talking about?

[rich adder]

https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.probuilder@5.2/api/index.html

I know it has some functions you can do at runtime but honestly dont know if boolean is one of them lol

[surreal minnow]

There is no API, i just forked some CSG script from probuilder. I will show what I am doing

[rich adder]

oww

ah the api doesnt even have boolean in it.
I only remember using the basic combine mesh tools

[surreal minnow]

It is under some experimental testing section

[rich adder]

ohh yea I know where it is , I meant if there was anything in the API of it

[rich adder]

ya send that

are the meshes ur doing Unity primitives or are they also probuilder meshes?

[surreal minnow]

They are the default unity cubes

cube1 is just a default unity cube that "helps" perform the boolean operation so I just move it in the place where I want it to cut off from CurrentCube

CurrentCube.transform.position = new Vector3(x, CurrentLevel, 0);
cube1.transform.position = new Vector3(0, CurrentLevel, 0);

cubeCutter.PerformCutting(cube1, CurrentCube);

public void PerformCutting(GameObject cube1, GameObject cube2)
        {
            Model resultModel = UnityEngine.ProBuilder.Csg.CSG.Perform(UnityEngine.ProBuilder.Csg.CSG.BooleanOp.Subtraction, cube1, cube2);
            Mesh resultMesh = (Mesh)resultModel;
            GameObject resultObject = new GameObject("ResultMesh");

            MeshFilter meshFilter = resultObject.AddComponent<MeshFilter>();
            meshFilter.mesh = resultMesh;

            MeshRenderer meshRenderer = resultObject.AddComponent<MeshRenderer>();
            meshRenderer.material = new Material(Shader.Find("Standard"));
        }

https://github.com/Unity-Technologies/com.unity.probuilder

[surreal minnow]

The only difference are the things I mentioned earlier. The broken ones are instantiated prefabs (same ones as the working one) and it all happens the same frame

¯_(ツ)_/¯

Hello, what is the easiest way to stop clicks from going through UI?

[wintry quarry]

Handle all of your clicking with the event system

Don't do adhoc Raycasts

You can put IPointerDownHandler on your game world objects too, so long as they have colliders and you have a Physics Raycaster in the scene

guys i need help plz
so im doing this silly main menu for design class in school ive done it smooth and all and its just works fantastic with mouse. but now im trying to implement controller support and it just keeps highlighting the buttons when i start the game like that and i do not understand why, im going insane 😭 ive asked deepseek and even that gave up so you guys are my last resort. i have put the play button as first selected in the event system and i script too. (also yeah the scripts are really ai generated ill admit just because im too lazy to write them in this project and want to get it over with and we arent gonna get graded for it anyway, dont judge lol)

are you using custom animations for the button states?

[deft lintel]

no im using unitys generated ones

[grand snow]

manual or custom navigation stuff? weird that it cycles through the buttons like that

[frigid sequoia]

I am telling this guy that his next NavMeshAgent position is its current one, it's normal that the squares are showing it wants to move down or should I be using something else????

[deft lintel]

ive set up the navigation for every button manually

if like thats what you mean

[grand snow]

yea. all i can think of is the animator is miss configured so its going through states 🤔

[deft lintel]

hm okay, ill take a better look

[grand snow]

i guess also check your controller is not going wacko, windows and i think steam has a tester

[deft lintel]

i actually dont even have it connected atm, im using the arrow keys :(

[grand snow]

new input system? you want input to be key down not key held for navigation

[deft lintel]

i think it already like that tho. im moving using the arrow keys here. also i know the animations arent playing correctly atm

[grand snow]

then you must have done something else wrong. use a prefab instead for your buttons to keep them a consistent size. is the animation using scale to change size?

i presume the issue is the play button staying large?

[deft lintel]

yeah the animation is using scale is to change size and rotation. but the play button is supposed to be bigger, that is its normal state

[grand snow]

then im not actually sure what your problem is then, the buttons not staying large once highlighted?

if is this then you should observe the animator (select in inspector and open animator window) on a button in playmode to see what its doing different between mouse and keyboard/controller.

[deft lintel]

no, its when i start the game, the buttons keep being selected and navigating down until i press something. my goal is that when i start the game only the play button is highlighted until yeah i navigate down or something. its like when i press start the down arrow key is getting spammed until i interact basically

[cosmic dagger]

When the game starts, each button is highlighted in a downward pattern (one after the other) as if the down key is being held . . .

hello can i get help with this code ?

https://paste.ofcode.org/E7wwgmxZrbMxpuY7Swi3eg

for some reason it entered confirm func even tho im not pressing click

[cosmic dagger]

You placed it in Update, so it'll run every frame . . .

[ashen frigate]

yea cuz im checking if players select there characters

[cosmic dagger]

Okay, but that's why it's constantly being called. Update runs every frame . . .

[ashen frigate]

i mean i get log even if its if (!hasClicked || !allPlayersSelected)

it should enter the else only if they both true
