not dealing with JS is a pretty big advantage imo lol

hm might consider it

but i'm too deep in

Hello everybody, I have a little game where i have enemies and i punch them on Sphere Colliders set as triggers on stomach and head. They have animator and it chooses a random animation. The animations all tend to be ones where they step back a bit when they get hit...So eventually they will reach the walls-boundaries in my scene. But for some reason even though my enemy(s) has a capsule collider and the wall has a collider, the enemy still goes through the wall. What exactly am I doing wrong? Here's my set up and Script. Unity 2022.3.50f1 URP. Ps in my script i'm also trying to reset their position back to the initial original positio back to what it is after they collider with the wall, that doesn't work at all. The enemies even go through the walls.

#

you have to move the object in a physics friendly way if you want it to respect collisions. assigning the transform.position or moving via animation do not respect collisions

fleet venture
#

Its not a problem to use UnityUI right?

humble abyss
slender nymph
slender nymph
# humble abyss what do you mean? How would i do that?

i mean if you are not moving the object in a way that respects collisions, then the object will move through colliders. you need to move it using a CharacterController or Rigidbody to respect collisions. unless you want to implement your own collision checks

humble abyss
#

oh i see. yeah it doesnt have character controller. Bummer.

slender nymph
#

and if you are using a CharacterController then it has its own separate collision message, it will not use OnCollisionEnter

fleet venture
slender nymph
#

you are thinking of IMGUI, but even still UI questions belong in a UI channel

rough lynx
#

IMGUI my beloved

#

Always there for me when I cant be arsed to make UI for testing

Yeah normally I'll run through some docs, feed it through the ai and see what it spits out and go from there. But it didn't manage to get any proper example compared to some sources online

How can I toggle on / off lots of UI? I have UI for the game and for the menu and I want to easily enable/disable both of them.

I could use empty gameobjects and set them as inactive but the issue is that everything will be enabled in the scene when editing?

naive pawn
verbal dome
surreal minnow
#

Oh I see the checkmark, thank you.
Is the empty gameobjects still the best approach?

verbal dome
#

Ah you want them separate

surreal minnow
#

Yeah

#

So when the player presses start, all the UI related to the menu is disabled

verbal dome

alr thanks

hey im writing some code right now and as it is code i want to reuse sometimes i was wondering if theres a way to make a comment for the values in the inspector so you know what the value changes for example "set to -1 for infinite"

rocky canyon
#

// simple comments

#

[ToolTip ("This is a tooltip that shows in inspector")]

hallow acorn
#

but these are only visible from the code right?

hallow acorn
rocky canyon
#

something similar to that.. not sure thats the exact syntax

wintry quarry
#

Tooltip attribute yeah. You might find the [Range] attribute useful too

rocky canyon
#

or XML summaries are pretty banger too

hallow acorn
rocky canyon
#

summaries add info in the tooltip popups and stuff in ur IDE ^

hallow acorn
naive pawn
#

you aren't getting an autoimport recommendation?

#

it's in UnityEngine

hallow acorn
#

3 different

rocky canyon
#

ya mb told u the syntax might have been wrong

#

its Tooltip

#

not ToolTip

hallow acorn
#

oh yeah just noticed thanks

keen cargo
#

hey yall, so this is just kind of a general question, but is it worth trying to learn how the new input system works? (i know there's the #🖱️┃input-system channel, but i'm thinking there's more perspectives here + the input system is still deeply connected to code, from what i understand)

been reading a lot about how it's "not very modular/you don't have a lot of control over it", though that's making me quite skeptical - especially when these same discussion boards have some god awful takes

wintry quarry
rocky canyon
#

nice to just be able to hover variables

hallow acorn

#

ahh i've seen one of their videos before, ok thanks!

rocky canyon
#

hey, not sure but i'll show u my setup.. someone told me the best way to do this is to use ActionReferences.. and apparently u can swap those out simply..

#

not sure im doing this 💯 correctly.. but it is a learning experience for sure

wintry quarry
#

Ultimately the new input system is extremely flexible. It can be used in a lot of different ways. This also makes it harder to learn, or at least harder to fully grasp, as things are pretty free-form. But when you understand what all the available pieces are and how they fit together it's very powerful.

I have a 2D ragdoll character but I want to control its arms with Inverse kinematics so I wrote these https://scriptbin.xyz/amukafeyay.cs script on my upper arms that are also parent of lowerarms.

https://scriptbin.xyz/bozevacuki.cs script on targets(where I think the problem is on)

the targets are so different from my cursor

If you want the IK target to always go exactly towards the mouse, make it not a child

#

Or remove the Lerp there

#

(which is being used incorrectly regardless)

soo much info tucked in there

tawny grove
#

how can i go about finding the origin for this error (and errors similar to it in the future, i have no idea how to find errors with specific lines where its broken in the script)

image.png
rich adder
#

its not necessarily a script you wrote

#

could be the Editor UI bugging out

#

try the usual stuff, Restart Unity, Reset the Layout, Delete Library Folder etc..

#

unless you have some whacked out asset throwing Editor UI errors

tawny grove
#

arlight, dont have a UI so ill go through that stuff. ty

rich adder
#

the Unity editor is basically running its own scripts for drawing all the windows and whatnot

tawny grove
#

Oh

#

okay cool a reset fixed it, spent too long looking for the error in the code earlier lol

rich adder
#

always check the original Namespace. usually UnityEditor is, or classes like UIElements are usually Editor Scripts / UI

#

the other ones are tricky because it does say UnityEngine not UnityEditor but if stacktrace isn't showing one of your scripts is very likely an editor issue

tawny grove
#

thank you! ill keep that in mind for the future

Does anyone know why my collider2d is "going to sleep"?
It doesn't even have a rigidbody so it shouldnt be doing that
The collider darkens and stops responding to raycasts

image.png
polar acorn
#

Rigidbodies do, but not colliders

hallow sun
#

I know that, idk how else to describe it

polar acorn
#

Where are you doing the raycast that's not hitting it?

wintry quarry
#

Maybe just a bug in the Raycast code

hallow sun
#

Food items that are dragged into it, raycast when dropped

rocky canyon
#

debug ur raycast.. see if its actually hitting anything

#

log what it hits.. (then you'll know a little more bout whats happening

hallow sun
#

Raycast works fine on other items (trashbag, counter)

wintry quarry
#

Something with your code and your scene setup ¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

without seeing all the details we can't know

#

a raycast doesn't sound like the correct thing to detect things being dragged into an area though

rocky canyon
#

is it an inactive collider?

wintry quarry
#

I mean sharing the code would be a really good start here

hallow sun
# 
public class Food_Base : Food
{
    [Header("Ingredients")]
    SpriteHandler[] orderSprites;
    public int[] order = new int[4] {0, 0, 0, 0};

        orderSprites = GetComponentsInChildren<SpriteHandler>();

        if (hit.collider != null) hit.collider.transform.gameObject.GetComponent<Interactable>().GiveFood(this);
        else ReturnToHolder();
    }

            s.ChangeSprite(0);
        orderSprites[0].ChangeSprite(_base);
    }
}
wintry quarry
#

not Raycast

hallow sun
#

Thanks ill give this a try and see if it solves the issue

wintry quarry
#

I suspect it won't solve your issue but it's definitely more correct.

#

but give it a twirl

hallow sun
#

Well this is awkward, i changed the color for asleep colliders, so im pretty sure they do sleep.
The issue was i forgot to set the correct layer after editing the prefab :/

image.png
wintry quarry
#

And sleeping Rigidbodies aren't simulated but their colliders are very much still part of the scene geometry

hallow sun
#

i guess it still counts as having one even if i dont add it to the object?

wintry quarry
#

Does this object have any parents?

hallow sun
#

Yeah, the area (pink background square) but this one doesnt have a RB either

#

either way problem solved

hallow acorn
rich adder
#

only printing text that says IsOnRightWall etc.. isnt much useful. Print the actual Bools when you press a button or whatever you expect happening at certain time, before if statements

hallow acorn
rich adder
#

yeah

grand snow
rich adder
#

2D isn't built in but you can use Gizmos.

#

or this asset ^^

grand snow
#

Also using a debugger is the best way to actually debug code, logs wont do it all

rich adder
#

3D has Physics Debugger for casts, Box2D doesn't for some reason

#

Ya learning the debugger goes a long way in the future

grand snow
#

logs for useful info over time on your game state, debugger to actually figure out wtf its doing and why

hallow acorn
rich adder
#

did you put the namespace?

hallow acorn
grand snow
#

They list all of the things but give examples too:

// Draw a sphere with the specified color.
D.raw(new Shape.Sphere(position, radius), color, duration);

// Draw green sphere if nothing was hit,
// or draw a red sphere if something was.
D.raw(new Shape.Sphere(position, radius), hit, duration);

// Casts draw in green, with red where hits were detected if no color is provided.
// Cast color and hit color can be overrided manually.
D.raw(new Shape.SphereCastAll(position, direction, radius, hits, hitCount, 10), duration);
hallow acorn
# rich adder did you put the namespace?

"The type or namespace name could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)"
i tried importing the class like this: using static Vertx.Debugging.Shape;

grand snow
#

using asm defs? if so add the reference on it

#

any half decent package now will use them

hallow acorn
grand snow
#

Assembly definitions (.asmdef)

#

tl:dr lets you split code up into smaller assembilies to aid in code complilation. They however need to manually be configured in editor to reference other asm defs to "see" their code (e.g. myscripts -> Vertx)

#

If you never added any to your project then unity is doing its automatic ones that should auto ref everything

hallow acorn
#

what do i have to do

grand snow
#

Do you have compile errors? if you arent using asm defs it should just work

hallow acorn
grand snow
hallow acorn
grand snow
#

if that did not error then its working. Then try to use D.raw()

hallow acorn
grand snow
#

it uses a different namespace... if in VS plz use the lightbulb

image.png
#

could have fixed this in 2 seconds

#

you made it sound like nothing was working but in reality it was

hallow acorn
#

its in german but the lightbulb doesnt say anything usefull i think

Desktop_Screenshot_2025.03.14_-_23.46.16.87.png
grand snow
hallow acorn
#

now i get "The type or namespace name could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)" twice

grand snow
#

can you restart your editor cus it should not show this error, it should reference it automatically

hallow acorn
grand snow
#

VS may let you reference the assembly but it wont really work

hallow acorn
#

thanks i think it works now!

grand snow
#

was just unity being dumb then 😆

but you know in future know

Hey does anyone know the best way to implament multiplayer into a game

#

My games is a 6v6 fps I need the multiplayer to allow matchmaking dedicated servers and more

orchid cobalt
# 
using UnityEngine;

public class PlayerMovement : MonoBehaviour {
    public Rigidbody player;
    public int speed;

    void Update() {
        if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.D)) {
            player.linearVelocity = new Vector3(speed, 0, 0);
        }
        else if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.A)) {
             player.linearVelocity = new Vector3(-speed, 0, 0);
        }
        else {
             player.linearVelocity = new Vector3(0, 0, 0);
        }
    }
}

is there a better way to do this?

grand badger
orchid cobalt
#

thats a lot prettier

grand badger
#

although mind this is NOT exactly the same as your code

orchid cobalt
#

oh yeah yeah i know

#

thanks 🙏

grand badger
#

np

orchid cobalt
#

wait

#

do i need to use fixedupdate

#

cuz its physics or sum?

grand badger
#

no, not in this case

orchid cobalt
#

why if you dont mind me asking

grand badger
#

that's because you're altering linearVelocity -- which means you're just assigning a vector to a property

orchid cobalt
#

i see i see

grand badger
#

that property happens to be used (consumed) in FixedUpdate, but the time you assign it doesn't matter

orchid cobalt
#

whats the difference between GetAxis and GetAxisRaw?

grand badger
#

if you were to be doing player.MovePosition it would be optimal to do it in FixedUpdate

orchid cobalt
#

oh

grand badger
#

GetAxis can return float values, based on how long the key has been held for

#

whereas GetAxisRaw will instantly return -1/1 even if you JUST press the button

orchid cobalt
#

oh interesting

grand badger
#

(and 0 the moment you release it, vs GetAxis that'd lerp towards 0 smoothly)

orchid cobalt
#

so just that added functionality?

#

would it be detrimental if i used it in this context?

grand badger
#

GetAxis has added functionality yeah. The GetAxisRaw is the instant/raw connection with the input

#

depends on how you prefer your movement to work. If you like the speed buildup go for GetAxis -- try both

orchid cobalt
#

alright ill experiment with it

#

thanks :)

grand badger

gusty solar
#

oh ok

#

sorry im new

#

i tried making a third person camera script but whenever i try moving the player spins around in circles

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

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

    public float rotationSpeed;

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

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

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

    if (inputDir != Vector3.zero)
        {
            playerObj.forward = Vector3.Slerp(playerObj.forward, inputDir.normalized, Time.deltaTime * rotationSpeed);
        }   
    }
}
ivory bobcat
#

You're assigning the forward direction of the player to input from horizontal and vertical, so yeah.. it'll spin around - what's the problem?

#

Maybe explain what it's supposed to do instead? UnityChanThink

gusty solar
#

its supposed to move the player in the direction of the freelook camera

#

kinda like roblox movement

ivory bobcat
gusty solar
#

its hard to explain but when you move forward your character moves forward relative to the camera

verbal dome
#

Is the camera a child of the player?

gusty solar
#

yea

verbal dome
#

I guess it makes a feedback loop then

#

You change player's rotation -> Camera rotates with it -> viewDir changes -> repeat

gusty solar
#

yea i guess

#

but the camera isnt spinning around just the player model

ivory bobcat
gusty solar
ivory bobcat
# gusty solar

Your setup is a bit different from the video' setup. They've got the component script on a virtual camera that isn't a child of the player object

#

Which would have this cs Vector3 viewDir = player.position - new Vector3(transform.position.x, player.position.y, transform.position.z); behave different for their and your setup

#

Where the transform-position would be changing in yours but not theirs.

gusty solar
#

so should i copy their hierarchy

ivory bobcat
#

If you're planning on following along with their tutorial, you ought to have the same setup as theirs else you'll need to improvise (this would require you knowing their setup)

gusty solar
#

i was just planning to copy the camera script and also i dont see how the hierarchy would affect the camera since everything is referenced with public variables

ivory bobcat
# gusty solar i was just planning to copy the camera script and also i dont see how the hierar...

If you're changing the orientation of the player (root) it would affect the position of the virtual camera object (the orientation object with the script). I have no clue if the virtual camera moves in their setup but your camera's forward direction would be dependent of the positioning of the player (root) and the orientation object. If the camera isn't changing direction or changing in an unwanted way, this would the key difference - orientation being a child of player.

gusty solar
#

so i need to make ure that the camera's direction isnt being changed

ivory bobcat
#

You need to make sure the difference in position between player and orientation remains the same in your setup as theirs. Their solution is specifically for their use case and will not behave correctly if the difference of position isn't the same.

I'd assume by "crash" you actually mean freeze/not responding?

#

Or is there a particular error that causes the crash?

queen adder
teal viper
#

Then it's not a crash. Try attaching a debugger and breaking when it freezes

queen adder
# teal viper Then it's not a crash. Try attaching a debugger and breaking when it freezes

Ill try that. it's not the loop. just made it into this do while loop and it has the same problem

    public void callCopyScript(List<string> taskTextList, List<string> taskDataList, List<int> noDuplicates)
    {


        //random integer to find random task to make
        int listPlace = Random.Range(1, 20);

        do //if the list of noDupes contains the int, it will make a new one
        {
            listPlace = Random.Range(1, 8);

        } while (noDuplicates.Contains(listPlace));


        //get the list value of that int for both and save to the strings
        string taskText = taskTextList[listPlace];
        string taskData = taskDataList[listPlace];


        ModalController.gameObject.GetComponent<ModalWindowController>().CopyTask(taskData, taskText);

        noDuplicates.Add(listPlace);
    


    }

I'll see what I can figure out

teal viper
#

You're playing with dangerous code here. You don't know if the list does or does not contain the 1-8 range. It's very likely that it does. in which case it will loop forever

#

Use the debugger or add some safety checks

queen adder
teal viper
queen adder
#

there probably is

#

but I've found none yet

teal viper
#

What if by chance random just keeps on returning the same value? If not freeze, it would cause a huge performance spike

#

Why use random at all? Why not just loop the indices?

#

use a for loop

queen adder
#

they're random so that each set of 5 is different each time it is run.

teal viper
teal viper
queen adder
#

i think smth else is up as well b/c I can't even assign this in the onclick field

teal viper
#

Let's deal with this dangerous code first.

queen adder
#

agreed

teal viper
queen adder
#

the noDuplicates list is what stores the past values

#

so it makes a value, checks if its already in, and then runs, then adds the value before doing the next one

#

its absolute spagetti I know

teal viper
#

Instead of a list of previous values, keep a list of free values. Then get a random in range 0-listSize. Then remove that index from the free list. Done. You have a random element from your free values list.

#

Do that 5 times and you have 5 random values between 0-20(or whatever range you want)

queen adder
#

that is a much smarter way to do that.

teal viper
#

Most importantly, There's no way to get an infinite loop that way

queen adder
#

right

#

something like this?

    private void Start()
    {
        //the following will make list class of the text values
        List<string> taskTextList = new List<string> { t1, t2, t3, t4, t5, t6, t7, t8, t9, t10, t11, t12, t13, t14, t15, t16, t17, t18, t19, t20 };
        //this will make a list class of the task data values
        List<string> taskDataList = new List<string> { d1, d2, d3, d4, d5, d6, d7, d8, d9, d10, d11, d12, d13, d14, d15, d16, d17, d18, d19, d20 };
        //adds list to make it so tasks are not made two of same
        List<int> noDuplicates = new List<int> { 1-20 };
        newTasks(taskTextList, taskDataList, noDuplicates);
    }
    public void newTasks(List<string> taskTextList, List<string> taskDataList, List<int> noDuplicates)
    {

        //makes 5 tasks on start
        callCopyScript(taskTextList, taskDataList, noDuplicates);
        callCopyScript(taskTextList, taskDataList, noDuplicates);
        callCopyScript(taskTextList, taskDataList, noDuplicates);
        callCopyScript(taskTextList, taskDataList, noDuplicates);
        callCopyScript(taskTextList, taskDataList, noDuplicates);
    }
    //calls with the list values so that the lists are constant
    public void callCopyScript(List<string> taskTextList, List<string> taskDataList, List<int> noDuplicates)
    {


        //random integer to find random task to make

You probably want Random.Range(0, count) though

#

as the way you have it now, the first element would be ignored

queen adder
#

0, count would include 0. do lists start at 0 or 1?

teal viper
#

0 of course. All collections in most programming languages start at 0

queen adder
#

durr

#

lemme fix that

teal viper
#

These here too:
List<int> noDuplicates = new List<int> { 1-20 }; =>List<int> noDuplicates = new List<int> { 0-19 };

#

And maybe have t0 and d0 as well

#

Though, that's not critical

#

Just for consistency

#

Just to make it clear Random.Range(the int version) accounts for that as Random.Range(1, noDuplicates.Count); would return noDuplicates.Count - 1 at max.

rich adder
#

^^ max exclusive, basically makes this work because if count is say 9
it omits 9 and uses 8. which is last index for a 9 count array

queen adder
# teal viper On the first glance seems fine, yes.

this is the current code. still does the same freezing.

# teal viper Okay. The the issue might be in `CopyTask` method

i just checked, it had the same possible infinite loop. This is what it looks like now

public void CopyTask(string newTaskData, string taskText)
{
    int listPlace = Random.Range(0, noDupes.Count);
    int colorInt = noDupes[listPlace];
    


    List<GameObject> colorPicker = new List<GameObject> { buttonPrefabBlue, buttonPrefabGreen, buttonPrefabTeal, buttonPrefabYellow, buttonPrefabLightBlue, buttonPrefabDarkGreen, buttonPrefabLightGreen, buttonPrefabBrown }; //makes it a random color
    GameObject newButton = Instantiate(colorPicker[colorInt], buttonParent.transform);//creates new button
    newButton.gameObject.GetComponent<buttonStringKeeper>().buttonString = newTaskData;
    buttonStringKeeper data = newButton.GetComponent<buttonStringKeeper>(); //this and ^^^ could be combined but that could break so redundancy = better

    newButton.transform.GetComponentInChildren<TextMeshProUGUI>().text = taskText;//gets text component and edits it

    Button buttonComponent = newButton.GetComponent<Button>();//gets the component

    noDupes.Add(colorInt); //adds to not have repeats

    if (data != null)
    {
        // Use lambda to capture the message dynamically
        buttonComponent.onClick.AddListener(() => OpenOverlay1FromInspector(data.buttonString, newButton.gameObject)); //adds onClick with the string
    }
    else
    {
        Debug.LogError("ButtonData component not found on the button!");
    }

    //need to add listener with the button script buttonStringKeeper
    //need to pull button string keeper string and use it when opening
}
#

(for context)

    List<int> noDupes = new List<int> { 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7};

Good evening, I am trying to get the player object to delete when it collides with an obstacle but they are going through each other. I put the colliders on them but it doesn't seem to be working. What am I doing wrong? x_x

zenith mantle
#

guys i need help this isnt working

#

there isnt a new menu when i right click and create

teal viper
# vague charm

You seem to be moving the object via transform. This would fck up most of the physics, including collision detection.

teal viper
# vague charm

And moving physics objects need to have an RB. Also only convex mesh colliders can move correctly with physics.
You should also decide whether you want physics 2d or 3d

#

Basically everything is wrong. You should go over unity !learn pathways and learn how to use physics in unity.

Hey, this a really stupid thing to ask, but is there an explanation for the convention that when you call or declare a method you use "Method()" but when you use something like if you use "if (X)"?

#

Like why the space in one but not in the other?

#

Do you use the space on methods call too or in none?

teal viper
# frigid sequoia Like why the space in one but not in the other?

That's very subjective or company/community/person dependent. I rarely run into space between if and () in my daily job(C/C++) and never put them myself. I don't remember if VS autoformats it like that or not by default, but you can configure this kind of preferences in the ide settings.

#

I don't think there's any particular functional reason for that.

frigid sequoia
#

I don't think it does so autmatically, no, but I 90% of the time see them with the space

#

Look at the recent code sample images on this channel

teal viper
#

Yeah. When I type if and double Tab, it autocompletes it with a space. Probably the default settings.

#

Probably this

It's kind of a weird default convention tbh

Hello. I'm currently having a hard time doing this simple task in Unity.
I wanted to convert screen position into position in canvas. This is the last method I did:

    void Update()
    {
        var parentTr = (RectTransform)gameObject.GetComponentInParent<RectTransform>();
        var tr = (RectTransform)transform;
        var result = visibilityChecker.GetVisibilityStatus();

        RectTransformUtility.ScreenPointToLocalPointInRectangle(parentTr, result.start, null, out startPoint);
        RectTransformUtility.ScreenPointToLocalPointInRectangle(parentTr, result.end, null, out endPoint);

        tr.anchoredPosition = startPoint;
        tr.sizeDelta = endPoint - startPoint;
    }

result has a Vector2 of startPoint and endPoint.

this doesn't work. How do I convert screen position to position in canvas and how do I assign it to the gameObject?

Update: fixed but I still can't wrap my head around the positioning system. to fix, parentTr is assigned manually from the inspector, probably something wrong with GetComponentInParent. also set pivot of the image to 0,0 and don't touch anchor.

Too many unknowns. We need to see more of your code and the callstack of the error.

frigid sequoia
#

Nah, the error is on the KillEntity lane. It is trying to access a method that no longer exists. Since well, the whole object does not exist, the class that is calling the method included.

teal viper
#

You're checking this though?

#

And the this is presumably the game manager?

#

Ah, It's backwards.

#

I thought the called method was on the game manager.

#

That's what happens when you cut half of the relevant code out of the screenshot

teal viper
frigid sequoia
#

The upper part is on the healthManager, the bottom part is on the GeneralBehaviur. Both are attached to the same gameObject. I am checking for "this" aka healthManager, it should not exist, nor the GeneralBehaviur nor the whole gameObject

teal viper
#

Share more code/info/screenshots, as I said

#

It is safe to use an ISelectable interface with MonoBehaviors?
they will not become null if a selected gameobject is destroyed, right? But if I get the gameobject through the interface and check it for null beforehand its safe?

Hi everyone, I wanted to start programming on Unity (I have never programmed in my life so I am a beginner) and I wanted to ask you where should I start, I saw the documentation pinned on this channel

#

Can I start with unity learn "beginner scripting"?

#

Hi! I feel so dumb asking this but I cannot find the answer anywhere. I have been trying to do my first scripts and when I switch to VS Code to write it, it doesn't recognises the "Application" class (and doesn't suggest anything). I don't know what I am doing wrong. Any idea on how to solve this?

scarlet aspen
#

Yeah, I'm looking forward to creating something

keen cargo
# scarlet aspen Yeah, I'm looking forward to creating something

My suggestion though:

Do unity essentials all the way through, watch the videos first and then do what they said - don't do anything while the video is playing

After that's done, do some C# learning, Microsoft provides a pretty good guide

After that do the programming basics

#

For the programming basics you should also watch the video all the way through, and then start working

Hey guys, i'm following sabastian lague tutorial on procedural landmass generation. I did it before and had no problems with it. Now I'm doing it again and I'm at episode 6, where he manipulates the height of the mesh trough a curve. I did the scripts as he did, I get the variables in my inspector to change, but when I change the height multiplyer not much is happening. When I go above 0 I get a bit of a change and when I go below 0 I get a bit of a change (both heighest point and lowest point switch) but beyond that nothing really happens and my map stays pretty flat. Even when i got in the 1000 with the height multiplyer. Can someone help me with this?
This is the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=417kJGPKwDg

And this is what I get, first picture is height multiplier by 5

#

Now height multiplier by 5000

#

I also went back to a previous episode and I copied/pasted the scripts from his github page to be sure they were the same, but I keep getting this result

#

I don't see a difference in the screenshots really

Is there even any height variation?

Guys, in a situation where I watch a tutorial about a simple program: maybe character movement tutorial.

#

How would I actually learn?

#

Is there like ways on learning, because the first thing that I'd do is literally just to try and remember it.

#

Do we just remember things in programming to be able to create, sometimes we mostly forget though

rocky canyon
#

know what each part of code does
self-research.. check out the documentation for it if its available..
if ur not understanding something in particular learn what it is.. and again, self-research
if you still have problems return to very basics.. "intro tutorials" unity !learn, etc

i typically know generally how to build something from scratch.. but even still i'll refer to google or the docs or let my ide fill in the blanks..

#

u never remember everything

thorn holly
#

What every part of every line is doing

#

Also don’t force yourself to memorize something that’ll come naturally. Google is your best tool, beginner or advanced

ruby zephyr
#

For example I'll be using the movement mechanics most of the time, so even though I don't have to memorize it, by doing it repetitively in many prototypes or testing I'd be able to get it most of the time and just memorize it.

#

Hello everyone.

Which IDE are you coding unity?

thorn holly
ruby zephyr
naive pawn
#

well it would be effective if you consistently do the last 2 steps, but the general recommendation is to skip the "copying the tutorial" part
look at the tutorial code, perhaps get confused by that and research it, then comprehend; then utilize what the tutorial says to do / what you learned from researching to make what you want

odd radish
#

that's my problem

#

it should be changing in height like in the tutorial video but it isn't for some reason

#

only difference it makes is when I go from 0 -> 0.1 it changes slightly in height and when I go from 0 -> -0.1 it also happens but in reverse

#

So the height multiplayer is being used but not completly

#

And this time I editted a few things in my scripts, after I noticed it wasn't working I got rid of the things I edited and simply copy/paste his scripts so they should be right

#

you gotta get confused about something, and then try to overcome the confusion

Then you can selct the objects with the move tool and see where they actually are (as well as looking at the position in the inspector

# gilded canyon

anyway, you need to log the values you check to ensure they are what you expect them to be. also keep in mind that those i = 1 statements are all outside of the if statements 😉

#

? i though they r indented. the debg.log runs so im not sure hwy this wouldnt

#

thought

digital kayak
#

sorry guys

slender nymph
#

c# does not care about whitespace. this isn't python

digital kayak
#

my fault

rare elm
slender nymph
#

if statements will contain either one statement or a block statement. so each of those i = 1; and that Debug.Log("a"); are outside of the if statements you think they are in, they are only in the outermost if statement

gilded canyon
slender nymph
#

that only works if the contents of the if statement is only a single statement

Have someone tried a grid inventory system with 3D objects? I need help getting a better approach of this system, if someone can give other ideas. i want to make the inventory very similar to RE4 inventory, mine has a object rotated x, 90, -75, which i had to rotate Grid similary. Im using Tilemap with Gameobjects, those having colliders and i check if the item is within the colliders. The item is parented to an object, and having a offset to properly place the item in the Grid. this comes with a single issue for now; can be placed out of bounds and checking the nearest tiles to match the size is difficult. I was thinking on making it work behind the scenes as 2D and project to 3D giving an illusion but since the object is rotate a bit, its quite hard to find a way

Clip shows a system i made to check the last position and teleport to there if Mouse drag is stopped but it should instead get the nearest block and not a last position reference or else it teleports too far

playerInstance.transform.position = new Vector2( Mathf.Clamp(playerInstance.transform.position.x + moveX, minX, maxX), playerInstance.transform.position.y this is moving your red car to 0z btw

vector2 zeros out the Z

so you're only printing when it spawns which is indeed at 1, but then you move it to 0

tought cuz a negative value is less important alr but whatever unity😮‍💨

nah this isn't about importance, more of like which one will the camera see first
position wise, Z is depth in 2D.
typically camera is at -10 looking towards 0 anything between -10 and 0 will always be infront of 0 cause they are closer to camera

Swap the mesh in the mesh filter

        {
            Debug.LogWarning("more than 1 SaveLoad");
            return;
        }
        instance = this;
    }

Thanks! Installing an updated .NET SDK did the trick on my other pc. IMO this should be pinned somewhere or added into the ide instruction @frosty hound sent before in case anyone wants to stick to VSCODE, a couple of my friends had the same issue and it worked for them as well. The VSCODE setup that the bot sends does not mention the .NET SDK.

rich adder
#

it fails 99% of the time to auto-install it (permissions issues, who knows..)

slender nymph
#

the c# dev kit should install the .net sdk, but if it doesn't there will be a message in the output telling you to install it. you just have to actually pay attention to what your tools are telling you

stray wigeon
slender nymph
#

note that the .net runtime is not the same as the sdk, if the sdk were installed then you wouldn't have had to install it again

Ah, thats probably it.

        Vector3 direction = target.position - mainCamera.transform.position;
        Quaternion targetRotation = Quaternion.LookRotation(direction);

        mainCamera.transform.rotation = Quaternion.Slerp(mainCamera.transform.rotation, targetRotation, focusCameraSmoothTime * Time.deltaTime);
        Debug.Log("rotating perhaps?");

        if (Quaternion.Angle(mainCamera.transform.rotation, targetRotation) < 0.5f) {

Looks fine to me. Perhaps locality is affecting it, but I would for testing sake just rotate unparented, also remove that bottom bit of code

Hello, I followed a tutorial on youtube to code a spinning wheel on Unity. I'm trying to add the text to my script nut it's not working. Any suggestions?

rich adder
tribal wave
#

whats the difference between StartCoroutine(SomeCoroutine()); and SomeCoroutine()?

slender nymph
#

the former starts the coroutine correctly, the latter just calls the method (but nothing happens because you aren't calling MoveNext() on the returned Enumerator)

tribal wave
slender nymph
#

why would it? nothing is calling MoveNext on it so it doesn't even get there

tribal wave
#

im incredibly stupid, whats MoveNext?

slender nymph
#

a method on IEnumerator that makes it enumerate. basically what makes it work.
Try it yourself, make a method that has nothing but some logs and some yields in it that returns IEnumerator like a coroutine then just call that method and see what happens. then test it by calling the method and storing the result in a variable and immediately call MoveNext on it

tribal wave
#

ok

#

ill try

#

thanks!!

polar acorn
slender nymph
#

but basically the StartCoroutine call is handling the calling of MoveNext on the IEnumerator returned by your coroutine method

#

the text object in your scene is very likely a TMP_Text not a Text object, Text is the legacy text type but you are probably using text mesh pro which is the current standard

fallen mulch
slender nymph
#

right, and i'm saying your variable type is incorrect so you need to be using the TMP_Text type not Text

polar acorn
tribal wave
#

one last thing, does StopCoroutine stop it wherever it is? like it can be in the middle of the method and if i run for it to stop itll stop immedietly right

slender nymph
#

unless you are actually calling StopCoroutine from within the coroutine, it will only ever be called while the coroutine is yielding because the code is still run on the same thread so it isn't running concurrently with your other code

#

but yes, when you call StopCoroutine it will stop calling MoveNext on the enumerator so it will no longer continue from the point it was yielding at

austere escarp
#

how should i implement raycast jump detection

#

i have no idea if im doing it right becasue

#

when you jump, the raycast might still hit the ground so it thinks you are grounded

#

to solve that i invoked a function that tells the player right after they jump, if the isGrounded variable can be set to false

slender nymph
#

give the raycast a max length or use a different query that only checks within a specific area (like a CheckBox, OverlapSphere, etc) instead of a cast. but it is also typical to immediately tell the object it is no longer grounded when you perform the jump

austere escarp
slender nymph
#

okay, so what is the issue then?

austere escarp
#

but the raycast to check to check if the player is grounded or not immediatly gets sets grounded to TRUE because the raycast will still hit the ground when the player jumps

#

since when the player jumps its not like they teleport upwards out of the raycast range

slender nymph
#

then your raycast is probably too long? have you actually done any debugging (like drawing the ray or using the physics debugger to visualize it if you are using 3d)?

austere escarp
#

no

#

well

#

wit the raycast length

#

it starts at the center of my player

#

shouldnt the length simply be half the players hight

#

plus a tiny bit?

slender nymph
#

does it actually start at the center of the player, or is it starting at its feet? you've not really shared any code nor any scene details so i can only make assumptions

#

but, again, you can easily visualize your ray using the Debug class or the physics debugger (this option only works for 3d)

austere escarp
#

transform.position is the center is it not

slender nymph
#

that entirely depends on how your stuff is set up

#

typically in 3d that would be the character's feet

austere escarp
#

like it should be ?

slender nymph
#

again, i have no fucking clue if it is because i don't know how your scene objects are set up

austere escarp
#

the arrows are the center?

#

this is what transform.position is

slender nymph
#

that is correct only if your tool handle is set to pivot and not center

austere escarp
#

it is set to pivot 👍

#

so ideally how long should my raycast be

#

the hight of the player is 1

slender nymph
#

long enough that it reaches the ground. again, visualize your raycast and make adjustments as necessary

#

right now your raycast is 1.5 meters long. if your character has a total height of 1 meter, then that means the raycast goes a full meter below the character if it starts in the center. if the character is 2 meters tall then the cast is still going half a meter below the character

austere escarp

frigid sequoia
#

Is there a method I can call when a scene is loaded for objects that have DontDestroyOnLoad or do I have to do that manually?

slender nymph
frigid sequoia
#

Mmmm... so I have to tell it what scene has been loaded for it to work?

#

I basically just want a bunch of objects to look for specific components they need on the scene to work properly when they are loaded into a new scene

sour fulcrum
frigid sequoia
#

The arguments, what are they for?

sour fulcrum
#

they tell you what scene was loaded

frigid sequoia
#

Oh, cool

#

But like, I don't need that at all lol

sour fulcrum
#

then you don't need to use them

wintry quarry
frigid sequoia
#

On load they now search for the relevant components. Is there a better way to do that?

sour fulcrum
#

the relevant components should reach out to the singletons, rather than the singletons reaching out to them

wintry quarry
#

e.g.

void OnEnable() {
  MySingleton.instance.Register(this);
}```
frigid sequoia
#

Why would I make all other objects search for the singletons though? Like, the singleton can easily look for the objects I need as long as they follow the level hierarchy structure, and they are gonna do so

sour fulcrum
#

because looking for the objects is comparatively expensive and as you said requires a specific hierarchy setup

#

where-as the objects don't even need to search for the singletons because they know exactly where it is (the big reason why people use singletons in the first place)

frigid sequoia
#

So is it better for 20 items to call for a singleton than telling the singleton to look for an single object that has all the needed ones as childs?

sour fulcrum
#

Yes

#

Ideally nothing code related should be specific to child parent relationships like that

im looking at the Prototype pattern and I'm very confused - how do you get a performance increase by "cloning" an object instead of creating it from scratch?

#

wouldnt you also have to instantiate the clone anyway?

guys somebody know i'm making a wolf ai

# rancid tinsel im looking at the Prototype pattern and I'm very confused - how do you get a per...

It's not strictly about performance, but rather cleaner code, flexibility, not having to depend on some concrete classes and their sub-classes, but rather an interface.

But if you wanna talk about performance, then cloning is just about making an exact copy of the original (be it a shallow or deep copy). If your initialization is resource-intensive then it would make sense to make the first object "from scratch" and then make clones of it.
Take for example, a database of entities. You have to spawn 10 entities of the same type.. so instead of accessing the database 10 times, you access it once and then clone that one instance 9 more times.

verbal dome
# upbeat ferry

FYI, the barking speed of the wolf depends on the player's framerate here

#

Since you are doing it in update with no regard to deltaTime

#

Ah seems like it only barks once

#

Still though

rocky canyon
#

coward wolf

verbal dome

#

no never mind

rocky canyon
#

yea i think it was more of a flex/show-off 😉

rancid tinsel
rocky canyon
# 
Enemy enemy1 = new Enemy("Goblin", 100);
Enemy enemy2 = new Enemy("Goblin", 100);``` vs
```cs
Enemy prototype = new Enemy("Goblin", 100);
Enemy enemy1 = prototype.Clone(); // Clone instead of recreating
Enemy enemy2 = prototype.Clone();```
rocky canyon
#

but think about games that spawning 100s and 100s of objects

#

it adds up

rancid tinsel
rocky canyon
#

if its the same data.. why not just copy the exact obj

#

instead of creating a new one.. and running the initialization again..

#

which can be omitted completely

#

im just speaking in very generalistic terms tho.. as i haven't done much of this myself..

rancid tinsel
#

so if im understanding correctly - initialisation logic is like getting the object from state A to state B using "x" resources as well as instantiation

rocky canyon
#

(smaller projects,, who cares) lol

rancid tinsel
#

and cloning is spawning a copy at state B still instantiating, but skipping the journey from state A to state B, which saves x resources

rocky canyon
#

If that initialization is complex, then cloning (Prototype Pattern) helps because:

  • It skips redundant setup
  • It copies an object that’s already initialized
rancid tinsel
#

that makes sense

rocky canyon
#

Think of it like this:

If you make one goblin, sure, just instantiate it normally.
But if you spawn 500 goblins, and each goblin runs expensive setup logic, you're wasting resources.

#

set up (1) goblin

#

then clone the other 499

#

😉 lol

rancid tinsel
#

ok that makes sense

rocky canyon
#

u gotta think alot of "optimism" stuff is based really on how big or how often..

#

does it only save a second or so? well thats useless for (1).. but if ur building (1000)

#

makes a big difference

rancid tinsel
#

yeah the issue is i have to demonstrate these patterns in coursework (word games specifically)

#

the hardest part is figuring out where i could use them

rocky canyon
#

😄

modest dust
rocky canyon
#

u dont have to show it working its best?

#

just show it present in the first place right?

rancid tinsel
#

well we are not meant to "force" them in

rocky canyon
#

ohh

rancid tinsel
#

but doesnt have to be necessarily best practice

rocky canyon
#

lol cheeky professor

rancid tinsel
#

yeah its rough lol

#

especially since i start a word game to include pattern A, but to add pattern B reasonably id have to make a new game in some cases

rocky canyon
# 
class WordTile
{
    public string Letter;
    public int Points;

    public WordTile(string _letter, int _points)
    {
        Letter = _letter;
        Points = _points;
    }

    public WordTile Clone() => new WordTile(Letter, Points);
}

// Usage
WordTile prototypeA = new WordTile("A", 1);
WordTile tile1 = prototypeA.Clone();
WordTile tile2 = prototypeA.Clone();``` wordtile clone
rancid tinsel
#

that could work

#

its a little overkill but i wouldnt say its "forcing" at all

rocky canyon
#

tbh it doesn't make sense to try to use the pattern in a very small project anyway

#

lol

rancid tinsel
#

yeah

#

btw in your example

#

wouldnt you be initialising every letter after cloning it anyway?

#

since youd have A, B, C....

rocky canyon
rocky canyon
#

u can clone a,b,c for other instantances of a,b,or c

#

if u need different initialization values

rancid tinsel
#

oh okay so we are talking like a large grid of repeating letters right?

rocky canyon
#

u need to create a new one

#

yea, u could create 1 for each letter

#

w/ its corresponding score

rancid tinsel
#

i see

rocky canyon
#

if scores never change. u can clone all the rest

#

and again.. im just kinda spitballing w/ ya

#

as ive never used it myself 😄

#

the link i sent is a good read

rancid tinsel
#

the best example i think ive seen was instantiating groups of enemies

rocky canyon
#

has a better example than what i was using

rancid tinsel
#

doing a prototype of a goblin

rocky canyon
#

very similar to this one

rancid tinsel
#

oh yeah

rocky canyon
#

cant get any more straight forward than this one

rancid tinsel
#

yeah thats simple

#

so pedestrian would have like

rocky canyon
#

walkspeed for example

rancid tinsel
#

Awake() { Renderer = GetComponent }

#

and thats the "initialisation"

rocky canyon
#

all that jazz yea

rancid tinsel
#

and you skip those calls

rocky canyon
#

anything it needs to initialize itself

#

and when u clone it.. ur just carbon copying it

#

all the references and stuff already set up

rancid tinsel
#

ah nice

rancid tinsel
#

shallow and deep copies

rocky canyon
#

probably more

rancid tinsel
#

and apparently they work different with references

rocky canyon
#

yea im just reading about it

#

so u know as much as i do now lol

rancid tinsel
#

lol ill let you know if i find anything interesting

rocky canyon
#

oh okay

rocky canyon
#

Deep Copy
✅ Copies everything, including nested objects (new instances, not shared references)
❌ More expensive (extra memory & processing time)

rancid tinsel
#

so if you have the pedestrian with the mesh renderer

#

and you shallow copy

rocky canyon
#

u might be referencing the wrong renderer

rancid tinsel
#

do they both point to the same mesh renderer on the first pedestrian?

rocky canyon
#

yes

rancid tinsel
#

ah

#

okay that makes sense

rocky canyon
#

lol.. best of luck 🍀 thats all my brain has time for this morning

rancid tinsel
#

no worries youve helped plenty

#

thank you

rocky canyon
#

np.. 🙂

#

so for example if 1 of ur object has its own list...

#

say for collision points or something..
youd probably need a deep copy that one

#

so it gets its own list

#

dont need Enemy2 using the same list as Enemy1

still better than in godot,there you need to manually set what the next focused item should be and it took me so much time to set on my old UI

#

at least you can visualize it here

Hey folks, having a really strange issue in Unity 6 for my 2D game. Been developing scenes for a couple months w/o issue, but the last week or so I'm unable to move, resize or rotate game objects in the Scene view. I can still adjust their attributes in the Inspector and they take effect. And I can select the appropriate tool and see the widgets and try to interact with them. But clicking and dragging does nothing. I've googled for days now and can't seem to identify what dumb thing I must have toggled haha...

check also in the hierachy that you didnt disable "interaction (hand icon)"

#

Yes I have move selected in this case.

I see no hand icons anywhere in the heirarchy.

#

I can click-drag the Pos X, Pos Y or Width/Height in the inspector to adjust things.
