looks right to me, im not the best coder so

[north kiln]

If you're not getting errors highlighted in red you need to configure your !ide

[eternal falcon]

💡 IDE Configuration

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

Select one:

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

[honest violet]

lemme do that :D

[inner path]

where's your setturntype in inspector?

[slender nymph]

why would seeing that matter? we already know what the errors are, they just need to configure vs code so they can use the quick actions to import the correct namespace

[honest violet]

its no longer giving errors, but its not changing sadly

probably error on my part

[inner path]

find in Hirachey where did you use this script named "SetTurnType"?

[slender nymph]

if you've followed the steps in the guide the bot linked but vs code is still not showing errors then go through the troubleshooting on this page: https://unity.huh.how/ide-configuration/visual-studio-code

[slender nymph]

again, this is entirely irrelevant

[honest violet]

oh unity isnt showing any errors either

like its fixed

[slender nymph]

can you screenshot what the code looks like now after completing those steps?

[slender nymph]

okay so you've now added the correct namespace, but if you comment out line 5 does it show errors in the code? if not then you need to go through the page i linked

[slender nymph]

okay good, it's properly configured now. so you're good to go

[honest violet]

yup :D

[wintry quarry]

Why are you using Console.WriteLine

[patent hemlock]

it's been a long night Sorry

[heady coral]

Hey everyone! I am new here, and i have a quick kinda question lol.

My current bullet script (2d tower defense type game) when i'm firing a bullet it's homing on it's enemies (which is wanted) but my issue is that when the enemy turns, it's causing it to not keep up the same speed as when it's fired? if that makes sense.

How would i go about making it "turn" just as fast as it goes when it comes out of the firing point on my turrets gun... This is the code i'm using.

[frigid sequoia]

How could I check if the player is hovering on a specific word?

Can I do that?

[rich adder]

which word?

[frigid sequoia]

Like, you know, these games that when you hover about a specific highlighted word shows a tooltip to explain it

Sorta of like adding a link to it??

[rich adder]

https://youtu.be/LNwYgN47qqk

[heady coral]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d_qk7egZ8_c too

[frigid sequoia]

This I know how to do, I think. But I don't want it to happen over a button, I want it hovering over a specific word

[frigid sequoia]

This is more like it, but, uff, I am finding it pretty hard to follow lol

Ouh, I can use TMP_TextUtilities.FindIntersectingWord to check over what word I am hovering over

Ya, she's just using a lot of stuff that I do not quite understand, in a row lol

[rich adder]

I mean the main takeaway is learning about the <link> and FindIntersectingLink util func

[frigid sequoia]

So, I would add the "<link=MyLink> Whatever word <link>" on the text box and when using FindIntersectingLink I can get "MyLink" as a value when hovering over it and do whatever I want with it

It's that right?

[rich adder]

GetLinkID() returns you that MyLink

the rest is just finding it position wise

[frigid sequoia]

Oh, so the other returns the Link index?

[rich adder]

yea

[frigid sequoia]

I have to convert that to ID

Got ya

Thxs

So the index is just the position it has on the text between all other links?

So I could like do something if you click the third link on a text?

[rich adder]

the index is for stored in the LinkInfo struct

[frigid sequoia]

So I am not meant to use that directly most of the time right?

Cause feels like SUPER specific

[rich adder]

https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.textmeshpro@1.1/api/TMPro.TMP_TextInfo.html#TMPro_TMP_TextInfo_lineInfo

linkInfo is an array

so all the links are stored in it

TMP_Text stored all that stuff

[frigid sequoia]

Mmm, so if it's an array, would that make so I cannot modify the text later?

Cause those are like fixed size, aren't they?

[rich adder]

idk exactly how Unity does it.
I'm assuming updated as you change the tmp_text it gets updated in the array if links if some are present, its whatever method they are using to do rich text and parse tags

[frigid sequoia]

Ya, seems like I don't want to get too deep into that

If it works, don't touch it 🤷

[rich adder]

if you change ID it probably updates accordingly thats why the index so you always get whatever ID from indices

[tropic ermine]

I saw there is an Official Behavior Package for unity 6, But my whole project is in unity 2021.3, Is there any way to use that project in unity 2021.3?

[teal viper]

Unlikely. You'll need to upgrade.

[tropic ermine]

then there is no workaround for it, right? actually its almost impossible to upgrade right now, this is already a huge project. Maybe i have no way around

[teal viper]

I'd assume that there are good reasons they don't support it on earlier versions. Possibly because there are dependencies that require a later version.

[tropic ermine]

yeah, i guess you're right

[teal viper]

Did you try adding it by name as suggested in the docs?

Looking at the package change logs it was supported by 2021 at some point, so perhaps you can use it.

[tropic ermine]

no i didn't. Let me check it out, thanks

[rugged beacon]

i have a scriptable object with a id field, how do i auto increment this or auto generate unique value when create one ?

[iron wind]

Is it being unique a requirement?

[rugged beacon]

yes it is id

[iron wind]

is it fine if it's hash instead of integer?

[rugged beacon]

at least unique for this class type

any type just need it unquie

[iron wind]

add Reset() function
In Reset() you can get the editor unique GUID and store it as a variable using AssetDatabase.GUIDFromAssetPath(AssetDatabase.GetAssetPath(this))

[rugged beacon]

i suppose just gen one in awake ?

[rugged beacon]

no idea what im reading

A new ScriptableObject is created as an asset via the Create Asset menu in the Editor

but seem awake with the new GUID will do

[iron wind]

That should give you GUID back, convert it to and store it as UnityEngine.Hash128

no Awake will not work since Awake will be called when you start the game as well

Reset is always called once when you create a new ScriptableObject

[rugged beacon]

reset doesnt seem to be called at all

[sour fulcrum]

how is this the documentation for this 😭

surely they can be more descriptive then that

[iron wind]

oh right, I might be mixing some stuff up here. You can rename the function to something else and add [ContextMenu("Initialize")] above the function name. Then you can right click the ScriptableObject after you created it and click Initialize to set it.

I could've sworn Reset would be called on ScriptableObjects as well 🤔

Not at a PC with Unity atm so can't verify on my end

[teal viper]

Could use OnValidate and register the instance with some kind of manager and assign an id at the same time. If it wasn't assigned yet.

OnEnable might work too

[sour fulcrum]

onenable runs at runtime no?

[eternal needle]

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/ScriptableObject.OnEnable.html
you can check the docs and see, scriptable objects dont work the same as monobehaviours

[teal viper]

Should be running in the editor too(for SO, but might be for MonoBehaviour in the scene too)

[sour fulcrum]

what in that doc actually has that answer? I might be missing it cuz i did check first

[cosmic dagger]

It's called when you create the SO asset (from the project folder)—actually, twice: once when you create it and again after naming it . . .

[sour fulcrum]

It says it runs when it's loaded which implies yes but that details behind that not being stated made me feel iffy

[eternal needle]

This function is called when the object is loaded.
I dont remember exactly when objects are loaded, but iirc if you load a scene and something has a reference to the SO, it will load it.

[sour fulcrum]

probably on first de-serialization yeah

i assume loading an assetbundle with one procs it when the bundle loads too and such

[eternal needle]

usually I just make a button like with ContextMenu to generate an ID

dont think ive really used the unity messages for scriptable objects much cause i barely remember how they're called too, and it's not really needed a whole lot

[willow shoal]

how to fix error. i need line of code or some idea for change this script "error cs0122 inputmanager is inaccessible due to its protection level"```CS
void Update()
{
_rb.velocity = InputManager.Movement * moveSpeed;

}
public Rigidbody _rb;
[SerializeField] private float moveSpeed = 10f;

[cosmic dagger]

Facts. It's much easier to create a method that searches for the type of SO, puts them in a list, then creates an ID for those without one . . .

[teal viper]

What's InputManager? Is it your own class?

[cosmic dagger]

You need to put the correct access modifier for your InputManager . . .

[willow shoal]

no

i just try my self find best script for move with rigidbody

and i found this

[teal viper]

Then what the heck is InputManager.Movement?

Found?

Like online?

[willow shoal]

from tutorial

[teal viper]

Okay. Did you learn how it works?

Do they use it like you do in the tutorial?

[willow shoal]

i trying but in him screen hes code works well but when
i write to code this it dosent work

[willow shoal]

yes

[teal viper]

Share the tutorial and the exact place where they use the same code.

[willow shoal]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EMhTROG0nAw 6.20

[cosmic dagger]

Make sure you follow along and copy exactly what they wrote . . .

It seems you missed a step that they did . . .

[eternal needle]

I dont think they actually show that part of the code, but honestly this tutorial is one of the shittiest ones ive seen in a while

[willow shoal]

oh

[eternal needle]

InputManager is probably some separate class this person wrote, I skimmed through and didn't exactly see it. Either way you'd likely want to just use the new input system and follow an actual tutorial on setting that up.
If your use case is simply enough, you could just directly assign the velocity to be the input * moveSpeed but theres a lot more to actually consider than what this tutorial is saying. And also you're using 3D from the looks of your code

that video above barely even qualifies as a tutorial honestly, it's just someone listing out ways that an object can be moved while giving borderline wrong information about it. it's sad what people publish

[willow shoal]

how to make Character Controller go through walls? i need script

i just need somethink like box colider "is trigger" but in character controler

[graceful fractal]

I just need a quick bit of help.

What is the name of this type of operator:

Float _float = _bool ? 1:0;

[sour fulcrum]

ternary

[graceful fractal]

thanks

[rugged beacon]

i thought scriptobject value can be change runtime ?, i have this one dragged onto the script
cs public PlayerDataSO playerData;
and this update it: cs playerData = SaveSystem.LoadLocal<PlayerDataSO>("Save.sav"); Debug.Log("load:"+playerData.characterId);
the debug show it get the correct value, but the scriptobject value unchanged ?

[sour fulcrum]

what is saveSystem.LoadLocal?

[astral falcon]

And scriptableobjects reset on every new runtime, just fyi

[rugged beacon]

it load the json file with this
T data = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<T>(File.ReadAllText(relativePath));

[sour fulcrum]

thats giving you a scriptableobject

not setting values on one

playerData = is changing your PlayerDataSO reference

[rugged beacon]

not sure i understand english here.. i drag the object to the playerData, what is the reference of the PlayerDataSO you mentioned ?

[sour fulcrum]

JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<T>(File.ReadAllText(relativePath));
this is making a scriptableobject

it's not putting all the values from your json into one

[rugged beacon]

ok so that can create a new one, but after that playerData = should set the dragged one right ?

[sour fulcrum]

playerData = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<T>(File.ReadAllText(relativePath));
this sets the playerData to the one it makes via code

whatever you drag in doesnt matter

[spiral carbon]

does any one know a active ragdoll tut that i can follow because i cant find one

[rugged beacon]

clueless

i guess i have to re assign individual field of the script obejct

[astral falcon]

When you drag the SO into your inspector, its an actual file holding the class with its values. When you deserialize with json using your textfile, it will create a new version for runtime. You then either have to assign every field of the json object to the inspector dragged object, so you should write your own constructor/update method or you just reassign your inspector field with your code using the new generated runtime object holding the json values. As long as you do not assign the values of your current file, your inspector dragged object is useless and not used at all. Its just another SO using your class next ot the json serialized object also using your class, but with its own values.

[rugged beacon]

ah ok so thats the reference meaning

[astral falcon]

If you use playerData = YourJsonObject, you jsut replace the reference, not assign the new loadeed to the SO, that was in there before

[rugged beacon]

actually have to re assign each field then

[astral falcon]

or just use your loaded one. Why would you reassign it?

are you using the dragged one anywhere else?

[rugged beacon]

yep, its the player data used to hold and update then save thorughout the game

[astral falcon]

Having a data manager loading that SO class from json into a static object would make more sense

so you can access it from anywhere and only update/save the values when needed to the file back

SOs are not meant to be data holders throughout different runtimes, they always reset (be careful, they update and save in editor but not in build)

[grand snow]

perhaps using a scriptable object for a runtime saved/loaded class is a poor design choice 🤔

(as its causing confusion)

[astral falcon]

I used SOs to create quests and relations upfront, and then have a json equivalent to update those SOs on runtime and save back the latest state to the json equivalent, so you can use SOs inside a custom node editor for example and update the whole quest queue with player data. But you can never rely on them to save for players. Its usually more a setup/default settings thing, using SOs rather than updated state records

[rugged beacon]

if everyone says so, cause im actually looking at a save system tutorial first time rn

[fair shore]

        this.transform.position = new Vector3(speed * Time.fixedDeltaTime, -11f, -79f);``` Why is my character move backwards in Z direction, it should move in X direction only ( The direction of left and right.)

[astral falcon]

is your camera rotated?

I am sure, unity is not magically turning x into z 😉

[fair shore]

No, it is not, it move my character backwards just a little bit.

[astral falcon]

over time or initially?

[grand snow]

this code will only change world X so must be something else or you are mistaken

[fair shore]

over time.

[astral falcon]

yeh, I agree, something else is moving your character, maybe its using physics and slips away slowly?

[fair shore]

I don't know what you mean.

It did use rigidbody tho.

[astral falcon]

if you use physics, you cant use transform.position, because thats like skipping physics and then teleporting them to a new position. so you should check, if your rigidbody is using gravity and physics and if it will just move by itself with your entire code disabled

[fair shore]

Sorry, I post the wrong function, the character is moving backwards is present when transform.Translate was used.

[astral falcon]

still ignoring physics afaik

and maybe show your function, so we can check against the correct one

[fair shore]

this.transform.Translate(speed * Time.fixedDeltaTime, 0f, 0f); here

it move my character backwards.

[astral falcon]

And if you comment that out, its not happening?

be sure, that your character is facing in the correct direction globally

[fierce shuttle]

What did you try searching?

[native widget]

Can I access this Color from the shadergrph?

Does anyone have an idea why do I have C# script in Unity as Miscellaneous Files and not Assembly-CSharp? I have Visual Studio set in my preferences in the project, and I have installed "Game development with Unity module" in Visual studio installer

Wdym by "failing to recognize"?

[pine barn]

Newly created C# files are not showing up here for some reason. I'm fairly new to visual scripting, and I think I'm missing a setting or something.

First thing to do is make sure your script is saved
Second thing to do is look in the console window and make sure there are no errors

[scarlet skiff]

what does this mean

[wintry quarry]

it's a bug in the editor

its an editor error, ignore it or restart if its bothering you

Actually, we need to regenerate the node library for the new C# files as per the documentation. Also, [Inspectable] is for something else.

[sharp bloom]

Any ideas why this works, but if I run the AddListener() in Awake function it throws a null reference?

[polar acorn]

Likely because GameManager.Instance isn't set yet

[sharp bloom]

I thought you were supposed to use the Awake but nevermind I guess

[wintry quarry]

Rule of thumb:

• self initialization goes in Awake
• Initialization that relies on other things already being initialized goes in Start

[polar acorn]

Rule of thumb: reference yourself in awake. Reference other objects in start

[sharp bloom]

Okay I see why now

[polar acorn]

So, the Game manager would set instance in awake (a variable on its own script), while this script would add listener in start so the game manager has guaranteed to have run by then

[sharp bloom]

My game manager is instantiated in Awake as such

public static T Instance { get; private set; } 

        protected virtual void Awake()
        {
            if (Instance != null && Instance != this)
            {
                Destroy(this); 
            }
            else
            {
                Instance = this as T; 
                DontDestroyOnLoad(this); 
            }
        }

[polar acorn]

Yes, and the order objects run Awake in can't always be guaranteed

Another object might get initialized first, which would run their awake before this one runs to set Instance

[sharp bloom]

Yes I see thanks

[grand snow]

use Instance = (T)this; instead 🧠

i bet my most said things on this server are about (T) casting and unitask 😐

[raw smelt]

HI i try a CodeMonkey Tutorail (but not copy him )

And I try make a Instance spawn OnCreate but "singleton don't exsist"
OnUpdate its ok

[polar acorn]

What is the specific error, and what line

[raw smelt]

EntityRef entityRef = SystemAPI.GetSingleton<EntityRef>();

10

InvalidOperationException: GetSingleton<EntityRef>() requires that exactly one entity exists that match this query, but there are none. Are you missing a call to RequireForUpdate<T>()? You could also use TryGetSingleton<T>()....

[wintry quarry]

The error is giving you very good suggestions

but really you probably just missed something in the tutorial

[raw smelt]

he did that OnUpdate

becouse he create a bullet

i want create something at the start

Its look like that that OnCreate is call before EntityRef

EntityRef is yet not ready

but how to solve that ):

[wintry quarry]

Again presumably you missed something in the tutorial

[raw smelt]

He did that OnUpdate And OnUpdate works fine too

but i want do it At start And only once

[wintry quarry]

then use OnCreate

[raw smelt]

I try to "change" something from tutorial

I did and OnCreate don't work XD

[wintry quarry]

#1062393052863414313

[iron wind]

You can't in OnCreate since OnCreate happens before your entity world exists. First all sytems are created calling OnCreate, then your entity world is loaded by SceneSystem.

Only safe place to access that singleton is in OnUpdate and making sure your system has state.RequireForUpdate<EntityRef> to make it wait until Singleton has loaded in

[raw smelt]

Ok SO how can i make entitis for start ?
i don't wanna make some "IFS"

@iron wind Why i can't see a "cat" at console

https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.entities@1.0/manual/systems-systembase.html

Its shoule be call before OnUpdated

I know that its not good way to try execute that code XD but i just wanna test every "state of states "

[iron wind]

Do you have RequireForUpdate on that system?

show the OnCreate function

[fierce shuttle]

I found plenty of resources changing the search slightly to "active ragdoll unity tutorial", maybe you can try more specific keywords like that instead of "tuts for unity"

[rocky canyon]

hopefully to God they're not actually searching "tuts"

[raw smelt]

@iron wind i have no internet now. I will give you info latter (i AM on the phone)

[rare elm]

i made a tilemap and filled it with a grass tile. unfortunately, while playing, there is occasional sparkling of gridlines, suggesting that there's some alignment flag i need to set

[wintry quarry]

you need to use a pixel perfect camera

[rare elm]

i thought that i was. i'm brand new. how do i check please

[wintry quarry]

Do you have the pixel perfect component attached to your camera?

[rare elm]

yes

sorry, was going through the manual page looking for things i missed

[spiral carbon]

ok ty

[rare elm]

pixel snapping is turned on. i don't really know what pixel per unit value to use

i also don't see how to set that for the tileset

i set the reference resolution to the game's current fixed screen resolution

[wintry quarry]

it should be identical to your asset PPUs

[wintry quarry]

that's set on the import settings for the sprites themselves

[rare elm]

well i don't see a way to set that for a tileset, so i don't know how to assert that

wait ... you're not saying i have to remove the tilesets and re-add them?

[wintry quarry]

I am not saying that, no

[rare elm]

oh thank god

oh wait. is this grid units? is ppu just the pixel size of one tile?

[wintry quarry]

ppu is how many pixels on the sprite equals one in-game unit

[rare elm]

are grid cells one in game unit in size?

[wintry quarry]

assuming you didn't change the default on the Grid component

[rare elm]

got it. that's the (first) part i was missing.

okay. my tiles are 128x128. my pixel perfect camera is 128ppu. pixel snap is on. my grid is still sparkling. what's next?

[wintry quarry]

I'm not sure 😰

Might be better to ask in #🖼️┃2d-tools

[rare elm]

oh, wait. my game has camera zoom effects. if pixel perfect zoom still produces grid sparkle, ... hm.

[naive pawn]

have you set ppu on the imported asset?

[rare elm]

i haven't figured out how yet

i thought i just learned it was just pixel count

[naive pawn]

select the asset and look at its import settings for a ppu setting

it kinda is just pixelcount, it tells unity how to properly scale your sprites

[rare elm]

so, the pixel perfect camera broke a different thing that i had for dynamically scaling the camera sometimes. i'm about to go just turn that off, but before i do, is the pixel perfect camera the only approach to this? there isn't like an AA mode without it or something?

[rocky canyon]

• the pixel perfect camera's job is to ensure that movement and rendering align perfetly with the pixel grid..
  this prevents subpixel rendering that case blurriness or distortion..

• ofc its not the only approach.. you can find other assets or roll your own solution..

• no single AA setting will solve all the issue's that pixel-perfect camera addresses

Hello, I need help. I want to create a hotbar and inventory system in my 3D first-person game, almost like in Minecraft. However, I'm not good at coding and usually follow tutorials or use AI. I've tried both methods but haven't found a good system. Do you have any tips?

[polar acorn]

Don't crosspost

[frosty hound]

Don't crosspost please.

Also, genuinely curious when people ask these kinds of questions, what kind of "tips" are you hoping for?

[polar acorn]

Usually, scripts they can just place directly into their projects that do everything

[sand flume]

I don't know... maybe tutorials or assets? Sorry for just asking.

[polar acorn]

Just searching "Unity Inventory System" will provide several

[frosty hound]

You've already claimed that no tutorial was a good enough system (not believable) or AI didn't help (believable) what else can we suggest?

1. Take the time to learn how to make games generally ( !learn ), to the point where you can confidently design and develop your own systems unassisted
2. Buy an asset off the asset store (which will still require #1)
3. Pay someone to do it (which will also require #1 if you want to modify it in the future)

You have two namespaces with a class named Random. UnityEngine and System. You need to tell it which one you want

Or get rid of the namespace you didn't intend to do

i never had this issue before

Because you have two namespaces with a class named Random imported

Hi, I´m sorry if this is not the channel for that, but does someone have a good tutorial, be it video or written, to recommend for dialogue systems and inventory systems? The plugins I was using are not working properly and I´m desperate enough to try to do everything from scratch...

I´m working on version 6000.35.f1

[eternal needle]

there will rarely be a tutorial that does exactly what you need. if you're going to write it from scratch, well simply start writing and google what you actually struggle with. a dialogue system is a string you display on screen. an inventory is a list of items. your game design heavily changes what you actually do with these systems

also someone else asked the same thing slightly above. #💻┃code-beginner message

[keen owl]

i'm assuming you want unity's random so you can put UnityEngine.Random.Range

Oh, sorry, my game is a 2D click and point where you go around collecting flowers and meeting people. Most of the actual tutorials I found were years old and I wasn´t quite sure if it would be a problem or not with unity´s version since I´m quite green to coding.

So following an older tutorial won´t be that much of an issue?

what did you type in google

to find the proper tutorial

cuz if you typed "how to make point&click game about collecting flowers" then you wont find any thing

just divide it into parts like "how to detect clicks in unity" etc

[eternal needle]

the code itself wouldnt be too different although I havent used unity 6 yet. i know some things got renamed like rigidybody's velocity to linearVelocity.
i really advise not following a tutorial blindly if possible. it'd be much better if you implement a feature and google or ask what you actually need help with. Like "collecting flowers" is not the problem. The problem would be like detecting if the user clicked on or collided with an object.

2d Dialogue system for unity tutorial, the youguest one I found was from 2022

From google

[rare basin]

what is 2d dialogue system

how is 2d dialogue system different from 3d dialogue system

[tame gate]

The Ui I assume...

[eternal needle]

UI is UI. still, what part of the UI do you struggle with? google or ask specifics about that instead when you get to them

A dialogue system can literally be a list of strings, and populating a textmeshpro component with the string

[tame gate]

Yeah, I´ve made a few minigames with the colliders and rigidibody, I think the biggest problem I would have would be in the dialogue system directly since it´s from what I´ve seen mostly script based. I´ll try following the tutorials I found then and come back when I have questions on something specific.

Thank you all!

[eternal needle]

if you dont know c#, you should follow a course on that. there is a link in the pins "intro to c#". tutorials generally have awful code

and following a tutorial where you dont actually understand what you're writing just isnt going to end well

[tame gate]

I´ll give it a look, but I am leaning C# at uni, it´s just not a great class ;-;

Thank you!

[noble forum]

Hi, i have found out today, that after clicking a button once, it cannot be clicked again for some reason. Not that it clicks and does nothing, it cannot be clicked, and i guess it has something to do with UI overwriting, as all my UI is non interactable all at once. I have no clue why tho, it must be something to do with the function, but that function does so many things its hard to find

[cosmic dagger]

You don't have to wait until class to learn. I say do some personal studying . . .

[keen owl]

Try again and look at the button’s inspector this time. If you see the interactable tick go away then you have a script/onclickevent disabling it upon clicking

[noble forum]

The whole UI gets disabled

[keen owl]

You mean the game object gets set to false or the component itself?

[noble forum]

Bad wording on my side. Not disabled, but i just can't click anything, and interactable is still on

its like something that i did is blocking the raycast

But it was a long time ago and i just noticed it now, i don't remember what could have happened

[keen owl]

There could be 1000 possibilities as to what’s happening. As long as whatever happens is happening after you click, it’s due to your onclickevent. You would need to see what exactly it is

Maybe send the actual method and show the issue with a picture/video for better help

[noble forum]

I saw, and...

wait....

If i click any button once, everything becomes unable to be clicked....

[keen owl]

Do those buttons share the same onclick method?

[noble forum]

they call completely different methods unless.....
Yea, they at some point call the same function in one script

[keen owl]

Then send the relevant !code and describe/show the issue better because i’m still unsure what you mean by “unable to be clicked.” There could be many reasons why

Well bots down

[eternal needle]

look at the event system to see what you're hovering over

[noble forum]

OHHHHHH

FOUND THE MOTHERFUCKER, TIME FOR TOTAL ANIHILATION

It was an invisible button for my menu that for designing purposes i decided to have in the same scene

it was supposed to be 'click to continue' kind of thing

i forgot to disable it

[noble forum]

Yea, event system helped

Thank you both a lot

i would not have figured it oput any time soon

[keen owl]

Was that button on top of all of the other buttons?

[noble forum]

As you can see, this isnt part of a standard UI, so yes, i only wonder why it let me click for the first time

but well, i don't think i wanna know

[robust schooner]

If you can afford it, Pixel Crushers’ Dialogue System for Unity is fantastic and requires virtually no programming experience.

[rare elm]

i added a pixel perfect camera. i set the sprite's ppu and the grid's both to 128, which matches the tile size. i set the camera's reference size to 2k, which is currently the game's fixed render size. i am still having grid edge issues. i am too new to know what to look for.

[safe root]

How would I find the Damage script without a object?

public int amount;
public override void Apply(GameObject target)
{
target.GetComponent<Damage>().damageTaken += amount;
}

[wintry quarry]

What do you mean by "without an object"?

[keen owl]

If you mean access class fields, the class itself would have to be static but I don’t see why you would even do that…

[safe root]

I figured it out after a bit but I mean. Like trying to get the script itself instead of through the object cause it don't exsit

[wintry quarry]

Wdym exactly by "getting the script itself"? Do you know the difference between a script, a class, and the component created from the class?

[keen owl]

and about object oriented programming nature all together

[keen owl]

Also by creating an instance of the script (object), you are essentially doing just that

[scarlet skiff]

does setting hte velocity of an rb to something as little as 0.01f have a chance to round it down to 0? or say something near 0 like 5.960464E-08

[wintry quarry]

Well 0.01 in particular is not a number that can be cleanly represented in binary so it will certainly not end up as exactly 0.01

Proof: https://float.exposed/0x3c23d70a

However it will not be rounded down to 5.96e-8, no

[scarlet skiff]

i see, thank you

[rare elm]

ah, i still had anti-aliasing on

[raw smelt]

hi i got
Assertion failed on expression: 'IsFinite(distanceAlongView)'
Invalid AABB a
Invalid worldAABB. Object is too large or too far away from the origin.

And i have no idea why (there is only 15 entitis and all of them are close )

[teal viper]

Does it point to your code? Share the callstack

[raw smelt]

This is in the console

[teal viper]

The error details please. The bottom of the console.

[raw smelt]

The error don't stop a program
Its still running so there is like 999+ of them XD

[scarlet skiff]

does anyone know why this enemy turns invisible when flipped o nthe x axis?

[raw smelt]

Interesting i did that
And there is no error WTF

no error now too

[teal viper]

1. Might want to ask in #1062393052863414313 . ECS is not a beginner topic btw.
2. Share the error details. You should know to do that before even thinking about ecs.

[raw smelt]

know what ?

[teal viper]

How to share the error details. Or rather how to share errors properly.

[raw smelt]

its looks like that i can't do new in the LocalTransform for somereason
SystemAPI.SetComponent(ballEntity, LocalTransform.FromPosition(new float3(i, 0, 0)));
if i first make a
pos=new float3(i,0,0)
SystemAPI.SetComponent(ballEntity, LocalTransform.FromPosition(pos));
Then there is no error XD

[raw smelt]

I see no connection XD i just join that forum 2 days ago XD

So i don't know the "ruls" etc

And i need ECS for performance i already try normal gameObject and when i had like 400 object there was already less that 60 fps

[teal viper]

You need to read the rules before posting then.
But anyways, it's not part of the rules. It's just common knowledge. And I even told you how to do it here:
#💻┃code-beginner message

[teal viper]

Might want to learn to use profiler too. You might not need ecs at all.

[raw smelt]

Yep i know but i said that there is no bottom of the console XD
Becouse the bottom is in the place when i stop it
if i will stop it 2 times it will be dif

[raw smelt]

I did use profiller
But i generally wanna make some kind of TD with at least 200enamy at screen
So if i just made 400 object NO graphisc close to 0 logic and i already had 40 fps that means that i need something else (:

[hidden fossil]

guys i need help does anyone know why the win screen isnt appearing after all the waves are finished and there is no enemies left?

[teal viper]

Probably because your material/shader doesn't support it.

I don't understand what you mean by that. The bottom of the console is below the error list.

[teal viper]

Well what did you discover in the profiler then?

[raw smelt]

Physics + orther

[teal viper]

The part that says "assertion failed ...". This would usually have more info and/or a callstack.

It's the error details space.

[teal viper]

Then perhaps you should have optimized the physics.
Anyways, I'm not here to change your opinion, but if you need help with DOTS(ECS), you'll need to ask in #1062393052863414313 .
Just know that it's not a beginner topic.

[scarlet skiff]

i tried flipping a different object with the same material and it was still visible, just that it became dark (unaffected by light i guess), how/where do i check for shader?

[raw smelt]

I did only use collider so This is unity "function" i see not too much space for optimization

Am i wrong ?

[teal viper]

In your material.

[teal viper]

You're probably wrong. The game wouldn't lag with just 400 hundred colliders.

[scarlet skiff]

what do i look for

[hardy bridge]

This is a pretty basic problem but for the life of me I can't figure it out; my guy won't jump while moving and idk why. can anyone help? it's cool if not

[teal viper]

Can't say more than that without seeing the profiler data and you scene setup.

[raw smelt]

what if there is constant collision ?

[teal viper]

Is there any reason you're using that material and not the default one?

[scarlet skiff]

i work on this project with other people, someone else is responsible for dealing with setting up the light and stuff, so i just made this material to make the object always lit so i can see it properly when testing

[teal viper]

If they all overlap and collide with each other, it might, but this wouldn't be proper behavior in ecs as well. If the units can go through each other, make sure their colliders don't process collisions with each other.

Also, dynamic objects need an rb.

There are many small things like that that you need to learn. Before thinking about ECS.

[polar acorn]

This has nothing to do with your code - you've got things that are out of scope of the physics system and causing math errors. Something's either really big or really far

It's trying to do math on numbers too big for the variables to hold and it's causing a cascade of problems internally

[raw smelt]

But how its possbile ? the position is less that 50

[teal viper]

Then just remove the material entirely. It would use the default one, that should work correctly.

[polar acorn]

The position of what? The error doesn't say what object is the problem, it actually can't because of the exceptions that are coming up

[raw smelt]

The only object is that ball

Only that code create any object

and if i change variable "i" to that
SystemAPI.SetComponent(ballEntity, LocalTransform.FromPosition(new float3(5, 0, 0)));
there is no error XD

[scarlet skiff]

thanks, it doesnt disappear now, but is there no way to modify the unlit material to avoid it from disappearing and keeping it lit?

[polar acorn]

DOTs could very well be the cause of this, I have no idea what is and isn't available. Maybe there's some sort of race condition with the loop causing a NaN? Might be better to ask in #1062393052863414313

[teal viper]

Try using the sprite unlit(or default unlit, don't remember the name) shader, instead of particle shader. Also, this is not a coding issue. Ask it in an appropriate channel next time.

[hidden fossil]

oh hey can anyone help me with my game why isnt the win menu opening once there is no more waves or enemies?

you've got a lot of logs there, which ones show up and which ones don't

How far does the code reach

[hidden fossil]

only this one at line 102 shows up Debug.Log("All waves finished! Checking win condition...");

the rest dont show up at all

[polar acorn]

Then if (currentWave >= waves.Count - 1 && enemiesAlive == 0 && enemiesLeftToSpawn == 0) is never true when that line runs

[hidden fossil]

is the problem like theres too much code and its lagging the game

[polar acorn]

Try logging the values of those variables before the if

and see which one isn't what you expect it to be

[teal viper]

Use the profiler to troubleshoot performance issues.
Also, if you are logging too much, it could have a big impact on performance keep only the logs that you need right now and commend or delete the others.

Make sure you don't have errors spamming in the console as well.

[teal viper]

Also, there's no such thing as "lagging because of too much code".

[hidden fossil]

im only getting this log

[polar acorn]

Then if (currentWave >= waves.Count - 1 && enemiesAlive == 0 && enemiesLeftToSpawn == 0) is never true when that line runs

Try logging the values of those variables before the if
and see which one isn't what you expect it to be

[teal viper]

One tip: share the whole console window when want to show logs.

[hidden fossil]

like enable every single log?

[teal viper]

No. Take a screenshot of the whole console tab/window.

[polar acorn]

At least show that you haven't disabled errors and whether or not you've collapsed multiple logs into one

[teal viper]

If not sure what to share, it's always better to share more than less.

Like a whole screen screenshot can be good enough for starters.

[teal viper]

That's still not the whole console tab, but at least we can see that you have the messages collapsed and one message has been printed 40k times. If it was in a short period of time, of course your game will lag.

[polar acorn]

Still not showing if you've disabled errors

[hidden fossil]

is that errors?

[teal viper]

You don't have any now, but do keep that toggle enabled all the time.

[polar acorn]

Okay, good to know they're not enabled, even if there aren't any right now. You should probably toggle that back on

[teal viper]

I'd start with reading the messages that you get. Especially ones coming from the engine. And possibly fixing them.

[raw smelt]

Just update for @polar acorn

    public void OnUpdate(ref SystemState state)
    {
        EntityRef entityRef = SystemAPI.GetSingleton<EntityRef>();
        float3 pos = new float3(0,0,0);
        for (int i = 0; i < 15; i++)
        {

            Entity ballEntity = state.EntityManager.Instantiate(entityRef.BallPrefabEntity);
            pos = pos + new float3(1, 0, 0);
            SystemAPI.SetComponent(ballEntity, LocalTransform.FromPosition(pos));
            //SystemAPI.SetComponent(ballEntity, LocalTransform.FromPosition(new float3(55, 0, 0)));
        }
        state.Enabled = false;
    }
Now there is no error XD look like i is illegal

[polar acorn]

Like I said, weird DOTS for loop race condition shenanigans

[raw smelt]

Still strange becouse new float(i,0,0) should create object at exacly the same way
And BTW objec was fine before too (there was error but in the scene everything looks the same )

[teal viper]

We don't know if you're doing ecs correctly. There might be other components that your entity is missing causing the error. Or it might not be related to runtime at all. This is all very ECS specific, so you should ask in #1062393052863414313

[jolly moat]

I have an enemy prefab with an enemy movement script, it has a public GameObject player variable. The editor won’t let me assign the instance of the player object that’s in my scene. It says type mismatch. How is my player’s GameObject a type mismatch from public GameObject player; in my script? I don’t understand why the editor is complaining

I can drag/drop my player onto the EnemyMovement component (on enemy) but it won’t let me apply it to the prefab

[eternal needle]

you cant reference scene objects from prefabs

you'll need to reference the player another way, could be through the singleton pattern even. although you shouldnt use GameObject, use the type you actually want to get from the game object

[jolly moat]

Dang, ok. I’ll have to rethink things. Thanks!

[jolly moat]

I had it as public Transform player; but changed it to GameObject before I knew you cant reference scene objects from prefabs. I really just want the player's transform available to each prefab Enemy object that I spawn. Would making the player prefab also work?

[shell sorrel]

no since that would just let you reference the prefab of the player, not the one that is in the scene

have the thing that spawns enemies also set the players objects on a public field

[rare elm]

does unity do what web developers would call tree shaking? if i add some asset set into my project, and then only use half of it, do i need to manually remove the other half to keep the binary size down, or does the unity linker handle it for me

[shell sorrel]

or give it a method you call after instantiateing the enemies that you can pass stuiff they need at runtime to

[shell sorrel]

with a few excpetions, only assets referenced by scenes or bundles included in the game get included in the build

[rare elm]

nice.

[teal viper]

You're mixing up assets and code compilation. Linker is usually mentioned in the context of code compilation and is unrelated to assets.

What about it?

[uncut shoal]

how do I make HingeJoint2D not limit the object's position but only the rotation?

so like the other object can move as far away as it wants but it needs to stay within the rotation

I remember reading somewhere that you can do that

[timber tide]

You've 2 enemies in it, but one is being destroyed which isnt the one you're targeting. Anyway, FindObjectOfType and any Find method is pretty awful and I suggest avoiding them if you can unless you know what you're doing.

[shell sorrel]

yeah find object of type in a collision enter, chances are you are doing something very wrong

[timber tide]

Ideally if you want to use a Find type of method, make sure you're using something part of the local hiearchy and not the scene. Something like:
GetComponentInChildren

[shell sorrel]

your just not targeting the right health object, since you are just searching the whole scene for hte first one it finds, not the one on the object collider with

if you are looking for the Health component on the thing the projectile collided with, do other.collider.GetComponent<Health>()

[safe root]

I see, but why didn't do this before?

[shell sorrel]

no clue what you had going on before, but FindObjectOfType is not what you want

[safe root]

Fair, thank you

[shell sorrel]

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

oh yea its also making my game lag very badly to a point where it crashes as soon as i run it

[slender nymph]

just FYI, when pasting code into a paste site you do not include the inline code formatting

is there perhaps more to the stack trace below what was included in the screenshot?

[hidden fossil]

nah its all the same

[slender nymph]

i'm not asking if the other errors are different, i'm asking if there are more lines in the stack trace

[teal viper]

Are you sure that's the correct code?

[slender nymph]

show where you actually invoke the onEnemyDestroy event

[hidden fossil]

yea its enemy spawner script

[hidden fossil]

this?
private void EnemyDestroyed() {
enemiesAlive--;
CheckWinCondition();
}

[slender nymph]

no, that is the method subscribed to the event, where do you actually invoke the event

[hidden fossil]

oh i dont think i invoked it anywhere

[slender nymph]

you clearly have

[teal viper]

The callstack implies that the event is invoked in that callback itself.

Was it maybe previous code and you have compile errors now?

[slender nymph]

pro tip: use your IDE to tell you where you are accessing that variable, you can right click it and find usages

[hidden fossil]

is it this part?

[slender nymph]

is that the only place it is being used? also this feels like unconfigured vs code

[hidden fossil]

yep

[slender nymph]

you're telling me that variable is being accessed nowhere else in the code base at all?

and by "that variable" i am, of course, referring to EnemySpawner.onEnemyDestroy

[hidden fossil]

should i move that variable to the health script?

[slender nymph]

why?

what you need to focus on doing right now is finding where you are using that variable

and if vs code is currently not able to tell you all of the locations you are using that variable in, and more importantly if it doesn't currently show errors in the code or provide autocomplete for unity types then it needs to be configured 👇 !IDE

[eternal falcon]

💡 IDE Configuration

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

Select one:

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

[slender nymph]

no idea why you've decided to open that window let alone screenshot it

[hidden fossil]

its not* opening

is that normal?

[slender nymph]

wdym "its the opening"

why have you even opened that window? what instruction told you to go there

[hidden fossil]

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/gamedev/unity/get-started/getting-started-with-visual-studio-tools-for-unity?pivots=windows#configure-unity-to-use-visual-studio

[slender nymph]

there are two things wrong with this:

1. nowhere in that page does it say to check for unity editor updates using the in-editor window
2. you are using vs code not visual studio so that's not even the correct configuration steps, unless you've decided to install visual studio and use that instead (which is a good option as it is typically better than vs code)

[hidden fossil]

are we only looking for the EnemySpanwer.onEnemyDestroy specific variable?

[slender nymph]

yes, you need to find all usages of that variable. but do so after you have configured your code editor

[hidden fossil]

does this part count as one?
private void Awake() {
onEnemyDestroy.AddListener(EnemyDestroyed);
}

[slender nymph]

have you configured vs code yet

[hidden fossil]

yep

[slender nymph]

screenshot the entire window then

[hidden fossil]

is this it?

[slender nymph]

well that is certainly the entire window, but it is also unconfigured.
go through the information on this page if following the correct instructions did not work for you (and no, the instructions for visual studio are not the correct ones as visual studio is a completely separate program from vs code) https://unity.huh.how/ide-configuration/visual-studio-code

[hidden fossil]

does install this reinstall the whole app again?

[slender nymph]

no

[hidden fossil]

just the vs code?

it does not reinstall anything, it is an extension for vs code so it only installs that extension and its dependencies

That's what I did

And the code was pretty bad

[rocky canyon]

search:

• how to get a random position in area
• how to spawn enemy/prefab

then combine the two.. maybe a:

• how to chose a random position in area

[frosty hound]

It also entirely depends on what you define an area to be. Within a range? Within a box? Within an area that can be literally any shape?

[hidden fossil]

guess ai still sucks?

Is this something in editor or in your project?

• Make sure it adjusts to environment changes, making it dynamic
• profit?

[safe root]

So I watched some video and got ideas but i'm unsure how to put this in. So I want to take the MinSpawn and the maxSpawn to use those to put a full area where they can spawn. But I want to do a check to make sure it's a certain distance from the middle (Aka the player). How would do that?

https://paste.ofcode.org/n2VncqRrBpRv3CBk6Wcn3x

[teal viper]

Do you want them to spawn in a random area in an annulus or something?

[safe root]

A square not a ciricle

[teal viper]

So a square ring/annulus?

[safe root]

Oh, just realized what you meant. Yeah, would it be smart then to have three point for that?

[teal viper]

Three point?

I'm using raycast to find out if an object is above a tile in my project. However, when I try to detect if there is an object, it will always return false. Even if there is an object above a tile, it will return what is beneath it instead. The object is directly above the tile and the raycast position is directly above the object. Does anyone know why this happens?

[sharp bloom]

How to get the proper position of an UI element in runtime? (In order to return the element back to its place?)

originalPosition = GetComponent<RectTransform>().position;

Behaves badly in my case

If I set the recttransform position again, it goes partially off-screen

At least in some screen sizes

[keen dew]

RectTransforms are positioned using anchoredPosition

[sharp bloom]

Thanks

[teal viper]

Need some more details on your setup. How far is the raycast origin point from the tile that you want to hit? Is it a 3d raycast and a 3d tile? Does it have a 3d collider? Are you using layermasks?

[lone tundra]

I have the raycast origin point positioned 5f above the tile that i want to hit. It is a 3d raycast and a 3d plane. Both the object and the plane have 3d colliders. I don't know what layermasks are so probably no.

[teal viper]

Did you try drawing debug rays?

[lone tundra]

The debug rays don't show up even if I put it in Update().

[teal viper]

Is that update even executed?

Try adding a log alongside.

[lone tundra]

The update and the script is executed. Debug.Log() also does not log when placed in the raycast method.

[teal viper]

Then it's not executed.

Share the relevant script

[lone tundra]

However if I debug.log a variable from that method from outside the method it returns the right thing.

[teal viper]

That sentence doesn't make sense to me. Share the code.

1. This is not update.
2. This is not how we start coroutines.

[lone tundra]

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

This is the full script

The update calls coroutine Cannon() which would call PieceBelow(PieceBelowi.transform.position, PieceBelowi)

[burnt vapor]

Why is HandleRayCast a Coroutine? Are you expecting it to block Update until it finishes? I'm very confused on what the point is

Also just generally calling a Coroutine in Update is questionable, but in this case it doesn't do anything

[lone tundra]

HandleRayCast checks where the player is moving their mouse and what it touches in the game.

[burnt vapor]

But why is it a Coroutine?

[lone tundra]

Well I need it to be a coroutine to check where the player is moving their mouse and what it touches.

[burnt vapor]

For a single frame?

An update method runs every frame, just doing this in a function has the same result

[teal viper]

Then it's not called. Put logs all the way through, or step through with a debugger.

[burnt vapor]

But I digress, this is not part of the issue

[lone tundra]

But it is called because when I use Debug.Log(hoveringTile2); right below line 533, it calls the correct thing.

[lone tundra]

And how do I use debugger?

[teal viper]

Can't see line numbers on mobile.

[teal viper]

Keep all the debugs when sharing your code.

[teal viper]

Google how to use visual studio debugger with unity.

[west radish]

Does paste.mod even work on mobile? The second I scroll down it, the entire page goes blank

[lone tundra]

It is Debug.Log(hoveringTile2 + '|' + PieceBelowi.name);

[teal viper]

Works if you press the </> button

[west radish]

Debug.Log($"{hoveringTile2} | {PieceBelowi.name}"); for what it's worth, string interpolation is a far nicer way to write string like this

[lone tundra]

I did not know I could do that

I have about 3-4 weeks experience on Unity and C# code.

[west radish]

It's something I wish I'd known earlier

[teal viper]

So, as I said earlier, you're not starting a coroutine correctly

[lone tundra]

How do I start a coroutine correctly?

[teal viper]

With StartCoroutine

[lone tundra]

But I did start it with StartCoroutine in Update();

[teal viper]

But you don't start it properly where you debug.

So it's not called correctly from there.

Honestly, I'd tear it all down and rewrite it with less coroutines.

[lone tundra]

Oh wait no I see.

But is it possible for PieceBelow to be a method not a coroutine; using void not IEnumerator?

[lone tundra]

I have less than a week to create a functioning game, I don't want to do this.

[teal viper]

It can be a method, sure. Just don't declare it as a coroutine and don't yield inside.

[lone tundra]

Ok

[lone tundra]

But how do I solve this?

[teal viper]

Make the method be executed correctly obviously.

That's what we're fixing, don't we?

[lone tundra]

But How do I do this?

[teal viper]

Either start the coroutine correctly or rewrite it into a normal method...

[lone tundra]

I changed it into a normal method.

Yet Debug.Log(piecebelowi) still returns the tile below the gameobject.

Are there any reasons why a raycast may be ignoring an object?

[teal viper]

What about the debug ray?

I feel like you're half ignoring what I'm saying...

[lone tundra]

I used debug.drawray before but it didn't show the ray.

[teal viper]

Before, the raycast and the debug ray were not executing though, right? Because you didn't start the coroutine correctly.

Does it draw now that you changed it to a normal method?

[lone tundra]

Do I place the drawray inside the raycast method?

I tried it in both and it still does not show up in game view or scene view

[teal viper]

Alongside it, yes.

[teal viper]

Then either the position/direction is wrong, or the code is not executed. Did you add a log there as well?

[lone tundra]

I added a log in both raycast method and the coroutine the method appears in

[teal viper]

Great!

So does it log?

[lone tundra]

No

This happens when I make an illegal move. 7, 7|7, 7 is a concatenation of hoveringTile2, which is initialised in the raycast method. 7, 7 is also the name of the tile which is below the rightmost piece called Cannon. moved? comes from the MovePiece method which I need to code to move the piece to the position.

[teal viper]

Where's a log that's after the raycast line?

[lone tundra]

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

[teal viper]

Make your logs more verbose. It's not clear what the message implies and where it comes from..

I don't see a single debug logs here:

    void PieceBelow(Vector3 tilePosition, GameObject tile)
    {
        Vector3 offset = new Vector3(0f, 5f, 0f);
        Vector3 aboveTile = tilePosition + offset;

        ray2 = new Ray(aboveTile, Vector3.down);

        if (Physics.Raycast(ray2, out hit2))
        {
            hoveringTile2 = hit2.transform.name;
            if (hoveringTile2 == tile.name)
                spaceOccupied = false;
            else
                spaceOccupied = true;
        }
        Debug.DrawRay(aboveTile, Vector3.down, Color.yellow);
        return;
    }

Am I blind or are you still ignoring half of what I'm saying?

Btw, you don't need a return at the end. It does absolutely nothing

[lone tundra]

Oh Debug.Log, I did Debug.DrawRay

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

It logs the position of aboveTile

But it still ignores the object.

[teal viper]

Make your logs more verbose.

Debug.Log("Raycasting at pos: {position}");

Or something like that.

Once you do, take a screenshot of the console showing that the log is printed

[rare basin]

that wouldn't work right?

need the $ before the first "?

[teal viper]

right.

[lone tundra]

oh ok

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

[teal viper]

Take a screenshot of the log showing up in the console

[teal viper]

Great. Now let's find your debug ray. Check the debug ray docs. It has a parameter to define how long it would be drawn. Set it to something like 60 sec.

[lone tundra]

What are the debug ray docs?

Oh parameters

I did this: Debug.DrawRay(aboveTile, Vector3.down, Color.yellow, 60f);

[teal viper]

Now look around in the scene view

[lone tundra]

Btw I am using Unity 2022.3

[teal viper]

Doesn't matter

[lone tundra]

oh yeah i see it now

but they don't go all the way down?

[teal viper]

Check the method documentation. it says something about ray length

[lone tundra]

Only Physics.RayCast can change maxlength.

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

So I set it to 10f.

It still only goes halfway.

Nevermind it works

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

[teal viper]

Ok, so does it cross the object with a collider?

[lone tundra]

The object still does not.

[teal viper]

Does the debug ray cross the object you expect it to collide with?

[lone tundra]

Yes it does

It should detect this but it still shows this

[teal viper]

Ok, take a screenshot of the object selected with collider gizmos visible.

[teal viper]

Does the ray start outside the collider?

[lone tundra]

Yes it does

Oh wait it works now

Thank you so much

[teal viper]

So it was srarting inside the collider?

[lone tundra]

I changed it so it was starting outside the collider

[teal viper]

Then what was the problem?

[lone tundra]

I guess that was the problem

[grand snow]

from what i can tell you are using raycasts for selecting a tile? better to use the pointer events + event system if you can as its much more reliable @lone tundra
can be used with 3d and 2d physics to easily do click detection and other things.

[lone tundra]

I am using raycasts to check if there is anyting above the tile.

[grand snow]

anything like that should doable in logic (e.g. each tile has a field to hold what is "above it" or you have a 2d grid of layers and you can find whats at this position in the layer above)
using physics for tasks that can be done at a lower level is not wise

[lone tundra]

I wasn't sure how to do that so I used rays because I've heard of it before.

[grand snow]

You can have a list of 2d arrays to create layers of grids (List<Tile[,]> tileLayers) or just have a public field/property on the tile you assign the thing above it to.

[shell sorrel]

can also just do grids as 1D arrays its pretty simple math to go from 2d coord to index if you know the width

easier to serialize

[twilit stirrup]

Does anyone know a model i can use to identify two difference peoples voices, and then tell me, which person is talking into the mic on unity. been trying to figure this out using sentis, and importing models, but i just cant get it to work, and i cant find anyone who has done it before.

[sour fulcrum]

#1202574086115557446

[grand snow]

yea thats true but 2d arrays are simpler for beginners to access elements. I also prefer 1d

[shell sorrel]

yeah just mentioning find 1d is just nicer expecially once you have to save it

[sour fulcrum]

worth keeping in mind this won't serialize right?

[shell sorrel]

it would not

[grand snow]

doesnt need to. can be build at runtime if the position is set on each mono instance

[twilit stirrup]

nothing there, that helps.

with my problem.

[sour fulcrum]

well thats rough

if you don't find help there you won't find help here

[sour fulcrum]

it can not need to ye but just worth mentioning in case person decides to store it another way

[shell sorrel]

you could easily have a List of struct where the struct has a 1d array and that would serialize just fine

or if you have a defined amount of layers just have the layers be top level

[grand snow]

if you have even a semi large grid, making the array in inspector correctly wont be easy so I would not go this route.
Games I work on with 2d grids dont serialize any of this

[sour fulcrum]

there's many solutions forsure im just acknowledging that the problem does exist because it can easily trip people up

[shell sorrel]

its not about editing in the array inspector for some though, at my old job we serialized stuff to SO's and it was not visible in inspector but only modifed via our own tooling

[sour fulcrum]

just depends

[grand snow]

well this is past beginner stuff so then you can do whatever you want

[shell sorrel]

it was required since each placeable object had grid data it needed to write to the main games grid so had a editor for that

was just letting unity do the serialization early on in dev, then once the structure for each tile was well defined changed to a custom binary format

[strange sapphire]

in 3d what's usually done to make multiple objects be the exact same distance between each other (like houses for ex.)

[eternal needle]

you can set the position to be whatever you want it to be

is there something more specific you need than adding the distance from the last object position?

Hi, I'm creating a Tarot Chess game, in which you play chess with many magical effects. Today I'm working on The World, which basically works like a border, shrinking the board from 8x8 to 6x6 to 4x4 to 2x2. I have this covered, but now I want to some visual effects. I decided on particle system 'fog'. The problem is, that the fog needs to be dense, so it almost covers the entire unplayable squares, and it also cannot emit particles on the playable chess tiles. Any idea how to do that?

The world image vs what i did

[crystal bridge]

using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.EventSystems; 


public class Dialogue : MonoBehaviour, IPointerClickHandler 
{
    public GameObject dialogueBox;
    public string dialogueText;
    public Texture[] portraitTextures;

    public void OnPointerClick(PointerEventData eventData)
    {
        
        dialogueBox.SetActive(true);

        if (DialogueManager.Instance != null)
        {
            DialogueManager.Instance.DisplayDialogue(dialogueText, portraitTextures);
        }
        else
        {
            Debug.LogError("DialogueManager.Instance is null");
        }
    }

    public void OnBeginDrag(PointerEventData eventData)
    {
        dialogueBox.SetActive(true);

        if (DialogueManager.Instance != null)
        {

            Debug.LogError("DialogueManager.Instance is null");
        }
    }
}

OnPointerClick does what I want, but OnBeginDrag doesn't respond. Any ideas why?

[eternal needle]

im not really sure what that first image has to do with anything, looks ai generated tbh. this also doesnt look like a coding question either, probably #✨┃vfx-and-particles

[verbal dome]

You are missing , IBeginDragHandler

[crystal bridge]

Silly me, that was the issue so it works now. It's odd that it didn't give a error nor red underline.

Thanks!

[polar acorn]

I don't think this is a codeable solution, I think this is more of a #✨┃vfx-and-particles question. As to preventing the "live" squares from being occluded, you could put a collider over the whole playable area on a layer that only the particles interact with, and have those particles destroy themselves on collision

[polar acorn]

Well, it's not a compile error. You can freely define a function named OnBeginDrag in any script you'd like. It just won't be overriding anything unless you have that interface implemented

[crystal bridge]

Ah, that makes sense.

[noble forum]

It was for reference. Yes, it is AI generated, as for now I can't afford that much input from real artists, so I pay only for what I have to. I plan to change it in the future

Ok, I didn't know you can destroy on collision (it makes sense now that I think about it lol), I'll try

[polar acorn]

What object have you set for Block

[slender nymph]

https://unity.huh.how/physics-messages

[prime scroll]

a square

[wintry quarry]

You need to debug your OnCollisionEnter2D code

[polar acorn]

In the scene, or a prefab

[wintry quarry]

use Debug.Log statements to check that it's running as expected and that the data is as you expect

[prime scroll]

i did , but when starting the game , the code written won't work on the first spawned "block"

[wintry quarry]

"won't work" is not useful

[polar acorn]

Put a log outside the if statements

[prime scroll]

yea a square sprite

[wintry quarry]

you need to take concrete debugging steps and show the results

[polar acorn]

In the scene, or a prefab

[prime scroll]

you mean the name of the object?

[scarlet aspen]

What do you think is the best path to take to learn unity c# programming with unity learn?

[polar acorn]

No I mean the object

is the object in the scene, or a prefab

[prime scroll]

a prefab

[polar acorn]

A player will never collide with a prefab

Prefabs do not exist in the scene

[honest field]

Yeah, that's your issue. You need to assign the in-scene object to the Block variable

[wintry quarry]

I don't see why that variable exists at all to be perfectly honest

AFAICT this whole interaction is supposed to be happening when the objects collide

so the focus here should be OnCollisionEnter2D

the Start() code is a red herring I think

[polar acorn]

Yeah, I'm assuming the _prefab variable on the block is a different object, otherwise, why would you be calling the function from this object instead of just spawning it in Test?

If the intention is to spawn an ObjectBehaviour, why would you call a function on an object behaviour to do so?

[honest field]

Looks like it's a game where you need to catch items in a bucket

So the _prefab variable would be a reference to its own prefab. Once the object is caught in the bucket, it spawns a new version of itself at a random position in the air

And if it hits the ground, it calls a game over

[prime scroll]

exactly

[honest field]

So there's a few issues with your code you'll need to fix

First, move the OnCollisionEnter to the Test script, and give the block prefab a tag to test against. Ideally you'll eventually want to move towards a game manager that handles creating these items and evaluating game state, but you're not quite at that level yet

Also have the game over be stored in the player. Every time you create a block, it has its own internal Game Over state that doesn't persist past the block's destruction

The only thing your block should need to worry about is if it's hit the ground

Depending on how questionable you want your coding practices to be, I'd recommend a third script called "GameManager" or something like that, and give it some static functions and variables so anything can easily talk to it

Then, for example, if the block hits the ground, it can just call "GameManager.GameOver()" and that'll handle everything

[prime scroll]

OnCollisionEnter is a private method

and i could change it to public but an error poped out to me

[honest field]

This got missed in the above discussion.
Best path is probably not to use Unity Learn

[honest field]

That's not relevant

heyyy uhm, im working on a project and im trying to get an object to move an a parabolic shape. though, when i try and write the code for it it says "MathParabola" doesen't exist, am i being stupid or uh..

(yes, i have the mathematics package)

[wintry quarry]

What is MathParabola?

That's not somthing in Unity.Mathematics afaik

[elfin isle]

i couldve sworn it was unless my brain is playing tricks on me

uh, how do i do what im doing then

[wintry quarry]

Step one is to look it up in the docs

Step 2 is to google it which brought this up for me, maybe you mean this custom package? https://github.com/nkpark/Unity3D-MathParabola

[wintry quarry]

Option 3 is just to do the math yourself

parabolas are well defined

Option 4 is use an animation curve

[elfin isle]

thatd probably be easier but

i dont know how id put the math into unity

[wintry quarry]

you'd use a parameteric equation for the parabola

so you can plug in t and get out x and y

[wintry quarry]

Asking ChatGPT "What are the parametric equations for a parabola" and going from there would get you pretty far. T is time.

[elfin isle]

no no i know the equations just im a math whiz not a programming whiz lol

[wintry quarry]

once you have a parametric equation it's very straightforward

you just plug the equation into the code more or less

they let you calculate the x and y position at a given time

then you just use that to position your object

myObject.position = new Vector3(x, y);

[elfin isle]

okay

how would i calculate t ime? would i j ust use Time.deltaTime?

[wintry quarry]

Your Animation variable from your code snippet above

is tracking elapsed time

that would be t

[elfin isle]

oh!

oh

[wintry quarry]

make sense?

[elfin isle]

let me get that code back lmao

yeah

im lying im still confused on how to go about this but im trying

[wintry quarry]

Basically:

• increment your timer (t) as you already were doing.
• Plug t into each of the parametric equations for the parabola. One of them calculates X, one calculates Y.
• Use the calculated X and Y to position the object

Hey i need really some help. I've been stuck on the same problem since 3 Weeks and don't know how to get rid of. So my Character cant jump and i don't know why. If i thinks its because of some Ground check problem but i don't really know. (and yes the code was written by ChatGpt because it doesnt work when i do it.)

[wintry quarry]

you also haven't set up your layer mask

[slender nymph]

and need to configure vs code 👇 !IDE

[wintry quarry]

That error in the console is likely because you have a second copy of the PlayerMovement script on some object in the scene where you didn't assign that variable

See how this says Nothing

that means it's not going to detect anything

and you will never be able to jump

[elfin isle]

okay so kinda like this? or

[tender gazelle]

Oh… wait ill change that

[wintry quarry]

The y equation doesn't look right, no

x shouldn't be a parameter

t should be appearing in there

[wintry quarry]

yeah that looks more right

[elfin isle]

okay..

[elfin isle]

also whys it think my position is weird

[wintry quarry]

Did you read the error message?

It will tell you what's wrong

My guess is that Fish is not a Transform

[elfin isle]

nvm wait im just stupid sorry

its supposed to be fish.transform.position

[eternal needle]

the screenshot above is the same math as the one further above, unless you're referring to something else

[wintry quarry]

it has x inside Pow instead of Animation

I see that he's factoring in x * 2

so it's the same yeah

but conceptually wrong

[tender gazelle]

so to which one should i change it?

[wintry quarry]

to whichever layer your ground is on

most likely youi should create a special layer for thje ground

and put the ground on that layer

[tender gazelle]

So i did all of that. Still shows that something is wrong😭

[wintry quarry]

#💻┃code-beginner message

Find and delete the extra copy of the script

[tender gazelle]

So the Error went away, but my Character still cant Jump. I think it rather lies in the code?

[polar acorn]

Check if isGrounded is true when you expect it to be

[wintry quarry]

why did you put the player on the Ground layer?

[tender gazelle]

IDK😭 . To which one should i put it

[wintry quarry]

not the ground

only the ground should be on the ground layer

[tender gazelle]

so should i let it on Default

[wintry quarry]

sure

[tender gazelle]

ill try and see if he jumps. If he doesn't then i think it has to do with something in the code

[wintry quarry]

more likely your force is just not big enough

or your ground check object is in the wrong position

or the ground is missing the ground layer

you should be debugging your code with Debug.Log to find out which

[tender gazelle]

My ground is false. What should i do?

[copper wind]

can you paste image of code with debug statement

[wintry quarry]

check where your ground check object is

and also check that the ground has the appropriate layer as mentioned before

[copper wind]

0.1 might be a radius too small. What does your player's collider look like?

[wintry quarry]

the radius is fine

as long as it's in the right place

[wintry quarry]

the player collider is also not relevant to this

[tender gazelle]

so my Groundcheck is right next to my character. Should i put under him?

[copper wind]

try setting the 0.2f radius to something really large and have the jump force be really high and see if he jumps just to test where the problem is

[wintry quarry]

what do you think?

[copper wind]

yes thats the problem

[wintry quarry]

what would make sense

[tender gazelle]

under him?

[wintry quarry]

DOn't be so unconfident about everything

try it

think about how it works

[copper wind]

that is where the 0.2f comes from. so if it's not low enough it wont detect the ground

[tender gazelle]

IT FINALLY WORKS. Thanks yall❤️

[polar acorn]

It would certainly be weird if someone's feet were only on the ground if there was something solid hovering a foot behind their right shoulder

[tender gazelle]

The only problem now is the Double jumps

[elfin isle]

make sure he can only j ump when isGrounded is true

im having a bit of a similar problem now

im trying to make jumping, and i have it working apart from the fact that "speed" affects "y" which in turn m akes it so if im sprinting, i can jump super high

[polar acorn]

So don't multiply the Y by speed

Get the horizontal vectors, multiply them by speed, then add the vertical vector

Then move that ammount

[elfin isle]

like this?

[polar acorn]

Yeah, or just multiply it by speed in the assignment to movement

[remote steppe]

How do you setup xbox controller? Thought it was this but nada

[elfin isle]

okay so basically i ran it and

i was running insanely fast, and was falling insanely slow

(i already tried what you suggested earlier just thought id try it again)

[polar acorn]

Well, because you were always multiplying by speed before. You're going to need to increase some of the values now that it's no longer dependent on speed

[polar acorn]

If you're doing gamepad bindings, you really should consider using the new input system. It makes dealing with them significantly easier.

[remote steppe]

I know

[polar acorn]

It's more complex for super basic things like detecting a single key press but makes different controller bindings basically trivial

[remote steppe]

If this was my personal project yea

But we just had to find opensource project and modify it

So I'm just using what they had setup.

I was going off this image

[elfin isle]

increase?

sorry im not following

[polar acorn]

If your speed was 10, and your Y movement was 1, before you were moving by 10 units per second. If your speed increased to 20, you'd be moving up at 20 units per second. This is not what you want.

Now, speed is no longer a factor. If your Y movement is 1, you're moving at 1 unit per second, which is less than 10

So whatever numbers you were using to calculate y are now giving you a smaller result than before

[elfin isle]

i know how to do that just the problem is

i am now moving at insane speeds

like x and z values

like, accross the whole map in 0.01 seconds fast

[polar acorn]

Are you still remembering to multiply your horizontal speed by deltaTime

[remote steppe]

Got part of it

[polar acorn]

So, no
