💪 aight.. im realigned!

use mp4 or external vid host

[errant shore]

i have no clue what causes this. I have no code which loads the level scene

man

why is it link

[polar acorn]

MKVs do not embed

[errant shore]

oh

[polar acorn]

Convert it to MP4 as Spawn said

[errant shore]

oops sorry

[rocky canyon]

found my target

ohh!! i see.. i can complelety kill off the update

[errant shore]

why does it load the level sceneeeeee

wait maybe i dont know how the build settin gworks

[polar acorn]

Didn't you say this was a build

I already said, in Editor, you can load whatever scene you want

And the scene is inside MainMenu, so loading MainMenu is going to also load Level

[errant shore]

the level scene is in the main menu scene?

[polar acorn]

Yes, you've loaded it additively

You dragged the whole scene into another scene

So they're both loaded

[errant shore]

how can I cut them

[polar acorn]

Right click -> Remove

[errant shore]

holy moly i didnt know this

thank you very much

[stone ledge]

Yeeeesirrr

[alpine spruce]

It is normal that when creating a shader it comes by default with 20 or 19 errors ?

[rocky canyon]

depends on what your level of "normal" is i suppose lol

shaders are different depending on the renderpipeline ur using..
best way to get up and going with shaders is in ShaderGraph, imho..

[queen adder]

hey

im new to unity i recently switched from godot to unity

and one question

float mouseX = Input.GetAxis("Mouse X");
float mouseY = Input.GetAxis("Mouse Y");

Hips.GetComponent<ConfigurableJoint>().targetRotation = Quaternion.Euler(0, -mouseX, 0);

and could someone tell me why is the characters target rotation going back to 0

[short hazel]

Mouse movement is expressed as a delta, which is the amount the mouse moved since the last time Update was executed

If you do not move the mouse, the variables will go back to 0

[queen adder]

oh

could u tell me how to repair it

wait would it work if i would make another float

nvm

[short hazel]

Use a variable in which you add the value of mouseX, then use that variable into your rotation

[queen adder]

okay thx

[raw smelt]

How can i Make singleton before Start
Soemetime i get null excepion
I use Awake() to create Singleton Instance
And for my "weapon" in Start i try to get the Singleton

but sometimes i get null ):

[zinc charm]

you can use enumeration and yield return , chek until it is not null

[rocky canyon]

every scripts Awake runs before every scripts Start

[raw smelt]

    private void Start()
    {
        enemyInRange = EnamyInRange.Instance;
    }

    void Awake()
    {
        Instance = this;
    }

still sometimes i get null

[zinc charm]

use a task maybe

[queen adder]

still does not work it moves shlightly and then it goes back to the 0 rotation

[short hazel]

Show your updated code

[raw smelt]

What is that ? XD

[slender nymph]

if it is null then either the object had been destroyed or you are trying to access it before it's even been created

you do not need a Task for this, that suggestion is wildly incorrect

[raw smelt]

i know but i create it at Awake So WTF

[queen adder]

float mouseX = Input.GetAxis("Mouse X");
float mouseY = Input.GetAxis("Mouse Y");

float X = 0;
float Y = 0;

X += mouseX;
Y += mouseY;

Hips.GetComponent<ConfigurableJoint>().targetRotation = Quaternion.Euler(0, -X, 0);

BTW ITS IN THE FIXED UPDATE FUNCTION

[rocky canyon]

the only thing that would cause that is if u somehow went and manually changed scripts execution orders in the project settings

[slender nymph]

are you sure that the object is actually in the scene

[rocky canyon]

unless theres an error ur missing

[raw smelt]

I have 2 scripts
1 Weapon
and
2 EnamyInRange

and somethimes Weapon can't find EnamyInRange instance at START()

[short hazel]

Pull both X and Y outside of FixedUpdate so their values are retained when FixedUpdate is executed again

[queen adder]

ohhh i forgot

[short hazel]

Right now you reset them to 0 each time FixedUpdate is executed

[slender nymph]

show the actual scene setup and both of the full classes

[polar acorn]

Ensure you have an instance of the Singleton in that scene and it is active when the scene starts

[raw smelt]

it is

[slender nymph]

prove it

[zinc charm]

 private void Start()
    {
        StartCoroutine(InitializeAfterEnemyInRange());
    }

    private IEnumerator InitializeAfterEnemyInRange()
    {
        while (EnamyInRange.Instance == null)
        {
            yield return null; // Wait one frame
        }

        enemyInRange = EnamyInRange.Instance;

        // Proceed with other initialization logic here
    }```
I mean Coroutine. smth like this

[polar acorn]

Then you wouldn't be getting this error

[polar acorn]

What? No.

[raw smelt]

MiniGun have WeaponScript
GameManager have EnamyInRange

[rocky canyon]

thats an xy solution.. the problem is its not initialized when he asks for it

[slender nymph]

a coroutine is unnecessary for this too and wouldn't fix the issue if they are trying to access the singleton in Update or something

[zinc charm]

Lol why @polar acorn

[slender nymph]

show it

[rocky canyon]

its a convoluted solution to a problem with a simpler fix

[polar acorn]

Because that's not the issue, this code wouldn't solve it, and it's ludicrously slower than just fixing the actual problem

[slender nymph]

can you stop taking these mail slot screenshots and actually show the full context here

[polar acorn]

Show the inspectors for MiniGun and GameManager

[rocky canyon]

ATTAK! 👽

[raw smelt]

i did send that insperor

[slender nymph]

and you've still not shown the code as i requested several minutes ago

[cold sonnet]

is anyone free to give me some help with code, scenes and json files

[slender nymph]

Don't Ask To Ask

[raw smelt]

@polar acorn i think i crushed it.. my first property 🐴

[polar acorn]

Yep, there you go

[raw smelt]

https://paste.mod.gg/qfcmklmgluqp/1

[queen adder]

thx but it seems that it cant fully rotate like its rotating 90 degress and then its going back

[slender nymph]

now you just need to invoke an event in that if statement and it will be top tier

[rocky canyon]

much love guys! i feel rejuvenated

[slender nymph]

now point to the line that the actual NullReferenceException is happening on

[polar acorn]

Looks like the bot ate your second link, try sending it again now

[zinc charm]

aren't awake() and start() asynchronous in Unity? if the awake takes longer it can cause the problem

[polar acorn]

No

[rocky canyon]

no.. https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.0/Documentation/Manual/execution-order.html

[polar acorn]

All unity code is single threaded

[cobalt atlas]

im having a issue where when I look around and move at the same time everything looks jittery. this is the code for looking around.

        float mouseX = Input.GetAxis("Mouse X");
        float mouseY = Input.GetAxis("Mouse Y");

        transform.Rotate(Vector3.up * mouseX * lookSpeedX);

        rotationX -= mouseY * lookSpeedY;
        rotationX = Mathf.Clamp(rotationX, -upperLimit, lowerLimit);
        playerCamera.transform.localRotation = Quaternion.Euler(rotationX, 0, 0);

[zinc charm]

weird

makes sense

tho

[raw smelt]

line nr 39

[cobalt atlas]

this is the movement code

        isGrounded = Physics.Raycast(transform.position, Vector3.down, groundCheckDistance);

        float horizontal = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal");
        float vertical = Input.GetAxis("Vertical");

        Vector3 movement = transform.right * horizontal + transform.forward * vertical;
        rb.velocity = new Vector3(movement.x * speed, rb.velocity.y, movement.z * speed);


        if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Space) && isGrounded)
        {
            rb.AddForce(Vector3.up * jumpForce, ForceMode.Impulse);
        }

[slender nymph]

1. if you are using a rigidbody then you are breaking interpolation by rotating it via the transform
2. update the camera in LateUpdate so it updates correctly after the player object has moved(also obligatory: Use Cinemachine instead)

[slender nymph]

of which file

[cobalt atlas]

ill try that

[raw smelt]

WEapon ofc

[slender nymph]

screenshot the entire error

[raw smelt]

There is Problem with EnamyInRange Instance

[rocky canyon]

some good context

[polar acorn]

Can you show a screenshot of your entire unity window, while the game is running, with the error in the console visible and GameManager object selected and visible in the inspector?

[rocky canyon]

GameManager object selected

[polar acorn]

Close. I need to see the game manager selected

[queen adder]

float mouseX = Input.GetAxis("Mouse X");
float mouseY = Input.GetAxis("Mouse Y");
X += mouseX;
Y += mouseY;

Hips.GetComponent<ConfigurableJoint>().targetRotation = Quaternion.Euler(0, -X, 0);

Can someone help me the player is not fully rotating

[polar acorn]

Okay, cool. We have now confirmed that the object does exist, and it's Awake is running. Since your issue is in findTarget, that means that findTarget is getting called before start on that object

So, what calls findTarget

[raw smelt]

Update ()

[polar acorn]

Anywhere else?

[rocky canyon]

i must be stoned or something..

[polar acorn]

What does the stacktrace of the error say?

[raw smelt]

Nope

NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object
WeaponScript.findTarget () (at Assets/Scripts/WeaponScript.cs:39)
WeaponScript.Update () (at Assets/Scripts/WeaponScript.cs:23)

[slender nymph]

put these two lines before line 39 in WeaponScript:
Debug.Log($"{name} ({GetInstanceID()} has EnamyInRange assigned: {enemyInRange != null}");
Debug.Log($"But is the list assigned? {enemyInRange.getCloseEnamy().Count > 0}");
then obviously show what they print

[rich adder]

show the build list

LoadScene (1)
implies you're loading the 2nd scene in that build

[polar acorn]

Oh. Right. The instance is completely fine

it's the list that's null

[rocky canyon]

must be right? 🤪

i forgot bout the list

[raw smelt]

Ok i know what is wrong

Singleton is OK

but the list don't exists XD

at first update

[rocky canyon]

no kidden.. we' just debugged the entire thing with u.. we also know whats wrong 😈

lol

future reference.. u run into a similar issue like this #💻┃code-beginner message 👈 throw debugs like crazy... you'll find what parts missing

[verbal dome]

So what is happening instead?

[queen adder]

hes rotating 90 degrees or smth

[verbal dome]

Limited to 90 degrees? Or always at 90 degrees?

[queen adder]

limited

[verbal dome]

This is too vague. You need to also show your joint settings

[rocky canyon]

i think its a setup issue ^

[queen adder]

im trying to send a video

of it

https://www.mediafire.com/file/670ked38t7k3kh0/2025-03-31_19-42-55.mp4/file

here it is

idk it doesnt want to uplode on discord

[queen adder]

upload not uplode

also the play has animations but i dont think its changing anything

show the joint..#💻┃code-beginner message
and you mean the object also has animation? if yes double check that its not changing the transform in any way

[noble cedar]

https://paste.mod.gg/zaqbrsvcqbxc/0
can someone please tell me how tf is player able to stick to walls I might have made somewhere mistake also please help me fix it

[queen adder]

the animation is not changing the trasform atleast from that what i see and all of the joints have the same settings

[rocky canyon]

use frictionless physics2d material

[queen adder]

and i showed the hips

so yea

idk

[noble cedar]

? is that on me?

[hollow dawn]

I'm making a fps game and my player has a rigidbody the camera isn't a child of the player when I move/look around there is a very small stutter. I have interpolate on am I doing something wrong? https://paste.ofcode.org/utJ9dDstDK8G6YECkxA8hE

[rocky canyon]

yup

[noble cedar]

you confused me even more how am I able to make 2d in 3d game

[rocky canyon]

oh is it 3d?

then use 3d material

😄

[noble cedar]

how to make it frictionless? never did that

also should I put that onto player?

[rocky canyon]

right click project window -> new physics material

set values to 0

[tacit nacelle]

You make a new physics material

[rocky canyon]

throw it on the player

[tacit nacelle]

then set dyanmic and static friction to 0

[rocky canyon]

the harder way is to detect if ur velocity has stopped..

[hollow dawn]

Its that that bad but the stutter is there

[rocky canyon]

and then use extra gravity to force it down..

but then ud need to check if u were against the wall.. and not grounded.. and etc etc.

physics material is tried and true

[tacit nacelle]

I'm pretty new to Unity, but I am really enjoying how user friendly it is

[cold sonnet]

I'm working on a Unity player selection system where players can create a new profile with a name and age, and their level is assigned based on the age. The data is stored in a JSON file and loaded when the game starts. At the end of each level, if the player has accumulated enough points their level should be updated, the level updates in the JSON folder but when the user goes back to the main menu 2 things happen.

a) All of the players from the players list are gone
b) Once restarting the game the players do appear but whilst in the JSON file their level has updated, inside the game their level has increased to 4 for some reason.

See video and code below.

https://pastebin.com/KyAhfYSM
https://pastebin.com/EFjZKCzg

[rocky canyon]

mmmm... wheres ur cam code?

should be in lateupdate

so it runs after the physics

i think

[rich adder]

yea

[rocky canyon]

my cameras just work perfectly from the get-go

😈

lol

[rocky canyon]

we're all pretty chill around here..
if u put in a little effort so do we 🧡

[noble cedar]

oh hell nah I am not doing that

[rocky canyon]

its the ones that come for hand-outs that get angry and think we're all toxic

[tacit nacelle]

I saw this in a tutorial vid and I wanna know the hotkey for it, he instantly placed the camera where he was looking from in the scene

that seems so useful

[rocky canyon]

ya, its annoying lol

[rich adder]

Align With View

[rocky canyon]

align to selected

[rich adder]

forgot the shortuct

[noble cedar]

I am still sticking to the walll

[rocky canyon]

or view ^

[tacit nacelle]

I have no idea what that is 💀

[rocky canyon]

did u put it on the rigidbody?

[rich adder]

normally you google it

the shortcut shows , it under the GameObject menu

freebie for you

[tacit nacelle]

Good point

lol

[noble cedar]

oh for some reason it cant be applied

[rocky canyon]

nu uh..

[tacit nacelle]

this seems like user error

[noble cedar]

wait its not on rigidbody its on collider

but still I am sticky 😄

[rocky canyon]

add it to the collider

yea yea

[noble cedar]

and somehow it broke my wallbuy

[rocky canyon]

is it cuz ur using too much force?

[rocky canyon]

wallbuy?

whats a wallbuy? lol

[noble cedar]

script

[rocky canyon]

ohh.. weird.. remove it then.. u may be into some extra work 😈

[noble cedar]

script to buy weapons off wall and somehow adding the new physics material it broke :/

[rocky canyon]

ya i gotcha

[hollow dawn]

how 😫

[rocky canyon]

character controller 😉

same update rates

[noble cedar]

you can basicly steal my code

[noble cedar]

here it is

SpawnCamp by any chance do you have script that would make me not sticky?

[rich adder]

float mouseX = Input.GetAxis("Mouse X") * mouseSensitivityX * Time.deltaTime;
@noble cedar never multiply mouse input by Time.deltaTime

[rocky canyon]

nope.. i use Character Controllers sorry

ur using a rigidbody

[noble cedar]

ohhh my bad

[rocky canyon]

i started out with CCs b/c of how much easier it was to use camera's with them

[noble cedar]

0FPS = spinning the shit out of the player 😄

[rocky canyon]

and i kinda only ever use rigidbodies to play around with... they never get perfect

[rich adder]

thats not how that works.
Mouse Input is already the delta between frames

[noble cedar]

idk I took that script from out teacher

[rocky canyon]

what sort of collider are u using?

[rich adder]

your "teacher" has no idea what they are doing

the mouseSensititvity is probably cranked up more than it needs to be

[rocky canyon]

1000

[noble cedar]

actually with 1800DPI its really good

[rocky canyon]

sooo... this is annoying

[noble cedar]

sphere collider?

[rich adder]

uhh ook lol keep your mouse as is, watch what happens later

[rocky canyon]

hmm... so the collider with the smallest surface area.. contacting the wall

[noble cedar]

you mean those random jumps of camera were because of that?

[rocky canyon]

and it still sticks.. 🤔

thats imprsesive

[rich adder]

quite possible, there are many things it messes with because again MouseInput is already returning the moved amount between frames, so its already framerate independent

[noble cedar]

so I should only remove the time delta and I would be ok?

[noble cedar]

not impressive annoying

[rocky canyon]

u can multiply it w/ a sensitivity variable.. but i'd start at 1

yea u dont need time

[rich adder]

from all the mouse inputs yes, this will be more noticeable later

[noble cedar]

float mouseX = Input.GetAxis("Mouse X") * mouseSensitivityX;
float mouseY = Input.GetAxis("Mouse Y") * mouseSensitivityY;

[rich adder]

yes

just lower the sensitivity amount

[rocky canyon]

i do this

[rich adder]

yea raw is good too esp if you don't want smoothing

[noble cedar]

wut is that

[rocky canyon]

its just sensitivity and smoothing.. w/o the broken time.deltaTime stuff

[eager spindle]

The first line puts the input values into a Vector2

The second line multiplies the Vector2 created earlier by the sensitivity and smoothing

[rocky canyon]

there ya go ^

[noble cedar]

yea I know but how ventor2 works in 3d?

shouldnt it be vector3?

[rocky canyon]

no..

[polar acorn]

Does your mouse move in three dimensions

[eager spindle]

Later we'll use the created Vector2 to rotate the camera by the y axis and right axis

[noble cedar]

DEF

[eager spindle]

It's not in the screenshot though

[rocky canyon]

they've tried those mice..

they suck apparently

like a big terminator arm contraption

[eager spindle]

3d mice... There's a point where you just work entirely with AR glasses and hand tracking

[verbal dome]

The bottom does the same as cs inputValues *= lookSensitivity * smoothing;

[rocky canyon]

so i dont need the scale?

[verbal dome]

Using Vector2.Scale is a bit extra because you use the same value for x and y there anyway

[rocky canyon]

ahh okay.. thanks for the heads up

i was just googling why i had used it in the first place

[eager spindle]

Vector3.Scale(float, Vector3) multiplies the Vector3 by the float

[noble cedar]

guys what does vector4 do?

[rocky canyon]

used for shaders and stuff i think

[eager spindle]

It's just 4 nunbers

[noble cedar]

4 DIMENSIONS

[rocky canyon]

like Quaternions

[eager spindle]

A Vector2 is 2 numbers, Vector3 is 3 numbers and Vector4 is 4 numbers

We love quaternions

[rocky canyon]

🫠

[noble cedar]

I removed the time delta from the camera

even with sensitivity 1 its unplayable

:/

[rocky canyon]

you'll need to readjust ur values

obviously..

u tuned it to be good with broken code

now tune it to be good with correct code

[eager spindle]

Yep that's fine, you don't need Delta time when using Input.GetAxis("Mouse X") because the value is already based on the mouse movement that frame

[rocky canyon]

🫡 Brackeys

[noble cedar]

I mean if it works it works dont touch it

[eager spindle]

does it work

[rocky canyon]

what about someone trying to play on a computer that isnt urs

[noble cedar]

my worked

[rocky canyon]

will it work then?

[noble cedar]

yea

[naive pawn]

it's just 4 numbers. it might be 4 dimensions if you choose to interpret the 4 numbers as such

[eager spindle]

How about this, anywhere in your code add Application.targetFrameRate = 15

[rocky canyon]

its simple to see how bad it is to use time.deltatime in ur mouse inputs

just build to standalone and then build to webGL and compare

one of em will be uncontrollable

[noble cedar]

WEBGL will be uncontrollable

:/

[rocky canyon]

facts

you'll move ur mouse and ur player will spin 10 times

[noble cedar]

I HAVE SENSITIVITY ON 0.001 and I spin 20times

[cosmic quail]

you can make your code so it has a different speed when on webgl

[rocky canyon]

how?

[eager spindle]

#define

[rocky canyon]

ohh okay

[eager spindle]

seems a little overkill though

[rocky canyon]

same as editoronly stuff

[noble cedar]

can someone help me tune the mouse input please?
I am dumb

[eager spindle]

your code should be able to scale for any platform

[verbal dome]

Are you dividing by the sensitivity or something?

Show your code

[rich adder]

maybe your DPI is probably too high

[noble cedar]

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

[noble cedar]

idk he told me to remove time.delta it worked perfectly with it xD

[verbal dome]

No it didn't

[rocky canyon]

b/c its wrong..

[rich adder]

yes you don't use Time.delta on mouse input

[verbal dome]

You just happened to have a stable frame rate so it's not noticeable

[rocky canyon]

u can paint a house by taking a gulp of paint and spitting on it.

but u dont.

[noble cedar]

my framerate is around 1000 :/

[noble cedar]

then could you please show me the correct way of doing it?

😄

[verbal dome]

Are you talking about Y rotation (left-right) or X rotation (up-down)

[noble cedar]

because I have no idea how to make it without time.delta since that is the only thing that teacher teached us

[naive pawn]

@noble cedar consider these 2 scenarios; assuming same monitor, same window size, etc
mouse moves horizontally, uniformly, 50 screen units over 1 second
scenario 1: 20 fps, so deltaTime is 0.05; 50 screen units per second -> 2.5 units per frame; mouse input * deltaTime = 0.125 per frame, for 20 frames, so 2.5 angular units total
scenario 2: 100 fps, so deltaTime is 0.01; 50 screen units per second -> 0.5 units per frame; mouse input * deltaTime = 0.05 per frame, for 100 frames, so 5 angular units total

when deltaTime is involved with something that already considers time, you get inconsistent results

[rocky canyon]

sure, i'll show u my entire look script.. im using values like 1.5 https://scriptbin.xyz/efoyeravac.cs

[wintry quarry]

where? In the inspector? Or in the code?

Because I see 100

[rocky canyon]

lol..

[noble cedar]

in the code in unity

havent updated the web one yet

[wintry quarry]

web? wdym web?

You need to change the sensitivity in the inspector

since it's a serialized value

[verbal dome]

You don't write code in unity. Did you change the value in unity's inspector?

[noble cedar]

uhmmmmm no I forgot you have to change also there :/

[naive pawn]

you don't have to change it in multiple places

[rocky canyon]

if u expose it there u do

[naive pawn]

you can just... write it properly

[rocky canyon]

if u right click on the menu bar and go to Reset it'll use the values u had changed in teh script

[verbal dome]

You do have to adjust it in the inspector if the default value was already serialized once

[rocky canyon]

but it'll lose values u've added in manually

[noble cedar]

ok sensitivity 1 feels like I am playing valorant again :/

[naive pawn]

and if you treat the default value as just the default, you can change only the inspector value

[rocky canyon]

thats an improvement tho..

NOW u wont have to worry about other people having different sensitivities

[verbal dome]

Sure, but probably don't wanna keep 100 as the default right now lol

[rocky canyon]

what u have.. other ppl will have

[noble cedar]

I want to make somehow that players can make their own sensitivity somewhere in settigns to ill read more unity docs to know how to make menu :/

[rocky canyon]

yup, thats a whole different can of worms

[noble cedar]

uhmmmm I smell another 2 months alone just making menu xD

[rocky canyon]

for that i use a settings gameobject with all the values i need.. when the game starts it'll change things like my mouselook script

[elfin locust]

Can anybody help me with this?

[rocky canyon]

we can surely try. momentum controllers are fun

[noble cedar]

since my project took me around 3months I feel like menu will be just 1 month alone

[rocky canyon]

making the menu would take u no time.. wiring it up takes the time

[noble cedar]

also can I share another code here
I just wonder why when I switch guns the gun that was reloading never stops reloading

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

please dont kill me for my code I am dumb

[zinc charm]

is this a unity bug? tree branch tips are randomly pointy

    public void DrawTree()
    {
        DestroyPreviousTree();

        GameObject lineObj = Instantiate(lineRendererPrefab, transform);
        LineRenderer lineRenderer = lineObj.GetComponent<LineRenderer>();
        lineRenderer.positionCount = linePoints.Count;

        for (int i = 0; i < linePoints.Count; i++)
        {
            lineRenderer.SetPosition(i, linePoints[i]);
        }
    }

the mesh looks screwed too, maybe something to do with linerenderer setup but couldn't figure it

[short hazel]

Yeah it's because there are shallow angles so it adjusts the vertices. You can edit the "end cap" options of the renderer

[zinc charm]

I see I think at the end branch (leaf) it tries to render a line backwards which causes the problem

[noble cedar]

Please help I am stuck

[zinc charm]

can you try to debug it by putting a breakpoint where the isReloading is set and trace back from the callstack

[rocky canyon]

Hi stuck! Im spawn.. its probably b/c Reload coroutine is still running even after switching weapons.. and possibly also seperating it from the thing that needs to stop it..

ez solution would be to stop the reload before switching weapons

maybe track how much time elapsed b4 it got stopped also.. so if u swap back itll not have to do the entire thing again

but thats #archived-game-design up to u

[stone ledge]

What type do i use for prefabs? gameobjects?

[rich adder]

what else would you use lol

prefabs are templates to gameobjects

[stone ledge]

If i wanna reference to a prefab to switch it after an action

[rich adder]

what kind of prefab ? switch it from what to what

if you have components on it you generally refer to that component directly

[stone ledge]

Lets say blue window, then I interact and switch it to green window

[rich adder]

yeah so just swap the gameobjects, not sure where prefab comes in

are you instantiating it?

[rocky canyon]

they either both exist at the same time and u disable-enable them
or u spawn them in and destroy them.. u can do this with some other script referencing either the gameobject or the prefab.. (also as a gameobject i guess)

[stone ledge]

Oh thanks

[rocky canyon]

if enabledisable u dont need prefabs really

just a reference to the gameobject

[stone ledge]

I know but since there's going to be a fair amount of them I'll just do prefabs cause its easy to manage right now

[rocky canyon]

might want to learn about pooling if theres too many of them

[stone ledge]

like 25 max

but randomly generated

Trees 🙂

[rocky canyon]

so not windows? haha

[stone ledge]

Nah it was just an example xd

So when I chop the tree down I want the stub or whatever its called to be left

[willow moth]

hi i am trying to make a lawnmower in my game and add a push mechanic to it but when i press e and start pushing my lawn mower freaks out. i am using physics joints because i want the lawnmower to feel heavy and wiggly. does anyone know how i can make the push mechanic i want? the lawn mower is the thing in the top right of the picture it just orbits around me.

Hips.GetComponent<ConfigurableJoint>().targetRotation = Quaternion.Euler(MoveDir); can someone help me with this?

[polar acorn]

You have to actually say what the problem is

[queen adder]

its not rotating

i think its to slow wait

[rocky canyon]

Stump just incase u want accurate naming 😉

[stone ledge]

Yeah I realized

[rocky canyon]

anyone else have this problem when u tab in and out of vs studio?

[stone ledge]

it happened to me once yes

I just restarted

[rocky canyon]

same.. but its happening like non-stop now

[slender nymph]

pretty sure that's a windows issue as i've had that happen with numerous programs, not exclusive to Visual Studio studio

[rocky canyon]

Alt+Tab is broken

[queen adder]

its not rotating

[slender nymph]

you should check #854851968446365696 to see what you should include when asking for help

[kindred zodiac]

To be in more detail, any way thats lets me ditch the capsule and use purely the characters real mesh for collision

[polar acorn]

There is a reason almost every game uses a capsule for character hitboxes

[rich adder]

thats not clearing up why you would do such a thing.

[polar acorn]

And the ones that don't use a capsule, it's usually because they can get away with a cube

[kindred zodiac]

less math = better performance

ik

[kindred zodiac]

Precise collision for each body part for example

[rich adder]

thats what capsules are for

[kindred zodiac]

Im aware its performance harsh and less uncommon

[kindred zodiac]

they are an approximation

I want like perfect accuracy

[rich adder]

all games do that

[kindred zodiac]

Yes I know

[rich adder]

I can understand if it was like a human body part selector for a like a medical app where you ray onto mesh colliders, but a character controller?

in Unity you can only use Convex MesheCollider for Rigidbody / Physics movement.

[kindred zodiac]

I may have got the terminology wrong

[kindred zodiac]

Right, so if i want to make a character with complex collision, i need to make its movement based on either rigidbodys or purely phyiscs?

Is that correct?

[rich adder]

only if you don't want to calculate your own collisions

[kindred zodiac]

That sounds like a lot of math 😂

[rich adder]

exactly

thats the purpose usually using an engine for, someone else did the heavy math for you

[polar acorn]

It is, that's why everyone uses capsules

[kindred zodiac]

Ok, now back to the original question kinda, do you have any resources on either a rigidbody or physics based character?

[rich adder]

there's plenty

[tacit nacelle]

Google gots u covered on stuff about basic physics

[rich adder]

do you want to create your own controller or use a premade good one

what are you trying to accomplish

iteration speed , etc.

[kindred zodiac]

If using a premade one lets me use the precise collision i wanted yeah

Creating an own controller would be like manually setting up movement etc?

[kindred zodiac]

Wdym?

accomplish in what?

[rich adder]

are you trying to just have something that just works or do you want to code everything of a character like friction, airspeed etc.

[kindred zodiac]

Lets go for just works for now

[rich adder]

look into for example KCC ?
(Kinematic character controller)

now free

[kindred zodiac]

I dont want to code everything from scratch

[rich adder]

also unity has starter assets too for CC

[kindred zodiac]

I did look at that, but i felt like an idiot cuz i could not get the example working!

It just wouldnt move for me

[slender nymph]

even KCC just uses a capsule collider

[kindred zodiac]

I even checked its yt video

[rich adder]

strange, its a bit of a learning curve but it has so many features

[kindred zodiac]

That was the other thing i noticed

I wasnt sure how i would change that

[rich adder]

in most cases you wouldn't

[kindred zodiac]

I have the basic third prson one but its capsule based too

[eternal needle]

Have you determined that anything isnt actually precise yet? Because most games dont even have "precise" collisions like this in the first place. Only games with active ragdolls, and in which case the movement is usually very goofy and not realistic at all

[rich adder]

your players are not going to notice

[slender nymph]

why would you even need anything other than a capsule for the movement?

[kindred zodiac]

Yeah every game has clipping

Even ultrarealistic ones like bodycam

[cobalt atlas]

I know you can use a paintbrush to paint on prefabs using a terrain but is there any way to do this using a plane instead? Im wanting to just place various trees changing the orientation and size around on a plane but not really seeing any easy way of doing this unless I use a terrain instead

[kindred zodiac]

its simply not worht the math to be so precise

Ok thank you for the help guys, i reckon i will just go down the active ragdoll route

[tacit nacelle]

Is there a way to make a border around objects? Like without making a new object?

[rich adder]

i think polybrush can do it but not sure
also not a code question

[kindred zodiac]

sorry if i looked dumb 😅

[tacit nacelle]

I want the left side (game view) to look more like the right side

[eternal needle]

My suggestion of that isnt even telling you to use an active ragdoll. You really shouldnt unless that's the literal design of your game
This really just sounds like "I think my characters will clip into walls" when it really wont.

And you'll have a hell of a time when you realize how shit active ragdolls are

[kindred zodiac]

Im just trying ot learn things, i havent got anything to change

I know most games use capsules but i have speicifc use cases for that precision

[tacit nacelle]

these are objects created by a script, so I'm not sure how to implement a shader on it, is it just like mesh.AddComponent<Shader>(); or smthn like that?

[slender nymph]

what specific use cases would those be

[tacit nacelle]

thats how I added the renderer and filter

[kindred zodiac]

TABS like fighting

ig

[rich adder]

my enemies have 1 capsule to move but their body parts have a bunch of primitives to approximate humanoid like euphoria type
For precision hits like rays

[slender nymph]

i don't know what that is, but the actual control (ie movement) does not need to use the same collider(s) as the actual hit detection

[kindred zodiac]

so each limb is like its own capsule?

[rich adder]

yea or sphere

its closest to mesh I can get and gives good results for hits

[eternal needle]

It doesn't really sound like you're even sure of the design. Afaik, tabs does use active ragdolls which gives it the goofy look. That isnt a requirement of an object being able to move
You should have separate colliders for hitboxes and an overall capsule for movement if you dont specifically want a ragdoll at all times

[low warren]

hi
can someone help me with this?
i have a problem with my sliding mechanic
also i added some logs to see if the slide is working or no
here is what is happening: when I press the button for slide in the unity's editor console it will say "slide initiated" but the player doesn't do anything and stays where it was(it can still go left or right or even jump and wall jump)
i noticed that my player's movement script is overwriting rb.linearVelocity that I'm trying to change in my player's slide script.
i tried to disable the player's movement script when the player slides but it didn't help me
i also asked chatgpt for a solution but even chatgpt couldn't solve it
can someone help me please?
here is the player's movement code ->https://paste.myst.rs/p4jjz1uo
and here is the player's slide code -> https://paste.myst.rs/buouexbt
please someone help me i don't get it

[kindred zodiac]

But what if you needed like precise hand or foot collision? you cant do that really with a capsule

[slender nymph]

did you not just read what i said

[kindred zodiac]

Sorry it scrolled out of view

[rich adder]

and if you mean climbing holding ledges or walking stairs, most of the time its just visuals aka IK

[kindred zodiac]

Ah

So i can use capsule for ground collision and movement

And then mesh collsiion for hits?

like bullets

or i can go the active ragdoll route

Ok

i get it now

I had assumed other collisions just got overriden by the capusules one because my character kept falling for the ground

But alr

ty guys

[tacit nacelle]

I wish there were VCs where people could get help with a screen share active, that would make it so much easier for the people helping and the people learning

[rich adder]

just make sure the layers ignore each other

layer based collision unity

[low warren]

can someone help me with this?

[keen dew]

You were already given an answer the last time you asked: #💻┃code-beginner message

You can't have the slide code in a separate component, all movement has to be handled in the same place

[tacit nacelle]

I still need un poco help on this,
essential context: these are gameobjects that I create through a script in an 8x8 pattern to create a chessboard, I was wondering if there was a way to add borders to each piece so they were distinctive eg. the game view on the left looks more like the scene view on the right

[polar acorn]

If they're all distinct objects, you could just change the sprite/texture to one with a thin gray border

[tacit nacelle]

GameObject tileObject = new GameObject(string.Format("X:{0}, Y:{1}", x, y));
        tileObject.transform.parent = transform;
        Mesh mesh = new Mesh();
        tileObject.AddComponent<MeshFilter>().mesh = mesh;
        tileObject.AddComponent<MeshRenderer>().material = tileMaterial;
        tileRenderer = tileObject.GetComponent<MeshRenderer>();
        Vector3[] vertices = new Vector3[4];
        vertices[0] = new Vector3(x*tileSize, 0, y*tileSize);
        vertices[1] = new Vector3(x*tileSize, 0, (y+1)*tileSize);
        vertices[2] = new Vector3((x+1)*tileSize, 0, y*tileSize);
        vertices[3] = new Vector3((x+1)*tileSize, 0, (y+1)*tileSize);

        int[] tris = new int[] {0, 1, 2, 1, 3, 2};
        mesh.vertices = vertices;
        mesh.triangles = tris;
        tileObject.layer = LayerMask.NameToLayer("Tile");
        tileObject.AddComponent<BoxCollider>();
        mesh.RecalculateNormals();

So like in the material menu my tile material where would the option to make it have a border be? All of the surface inputs stuff changes everything about the material

[wintry quarry]

it would be in the texture you assign to the material.

this isn't a code question btw

[tacit nacelle]

Sorry

[white lagoon]

got this little snippet, problem is it doesn't completely stop rotation of the object, how would i fix this?

[polar acorn]

That sets the object's current rotation to 0. If it's currently rotating it probably has angular velocity

If you want it to stop rotating where it currently is, that's what you'd want to set to 0

[white lagoon]

i want it to not be able to rotate at all tbf

[slender nymph]

or if you just want to prevent all physics rotation, constrain the z axis rotation on the rigidbody2d component

[wintry quarry]

constrain the rotation in the inspector

[polar acorn]

Then freeze the rotation in the inspector

[white lagoon]

oh that's a tab i have not seen before, thank you

i will start opening more of the menus probably

[stone ledge]

pluh Progress @polar acorn

we getting out of MIT programming w this one

[quiet crown]

How do i do this?

I think i might have figured m it out

[rich adder]

make a reference from one script to another, access the field and assign value

same as you did with text component

[quiet crown]

Yeah i got it all done, i doubted myself hahaha

[tame tusk]

any reasons why netcode isnt showing up when i try to add a component

[wintry quarry]

wdym by "netcode showing up"? What are you expecting to see exactly?

[rich adder]

netcode isn't a component?

[tame tusk]

i mean network manager 😅

[slender nymph]

you've installed the netcode for gameobjects package, right?

[rich adder]

is the netcode package installed?

[tame tusk]

yup

and for entities

[rich adder]

why entities?

[tame tusk]

will be adding later

[rich adder]

are they supposed to mix? I never used both together

maybe check Console tab for compile error or something

[tame tusk]

oh i don't know for sure just assumed that entities like npcs come under that catagory but maybe i am wrong, 😅 first time creating a multiplayer game

[slender nymph]

that's not what entities is

[rich adder]

ECS is completely unrelated to npcs

[tame tusk]

ah right

[rich adder]

sorry but if you don't know difference between gameobjects and entities, should you be doing multiplayer? 😅

[stone ledge]

Look at the list, is this a decent inventory setup?

[tame tusk]

i mean first time making a game at all in unity previously done server side anticheats for other games so thought it could give a decent starting point however i am wrong! 😭

thanks though works now ❤️

[stone ledge]

Nice, what games?

[rich adder]

oh okay, is just a lot of nuances to unity api

[tame tusk]

unturned ark and minecrat 😅

[tame tusk]

yea 😦

[stone ledge]

You work for BE?

[tame tusk]

no no no haha i mean as in server side mods and plugins as anticheats

not the actual game anticheats, they dont seem to do much these days....

[stone ledge]

BE works great other than client side cheats and bandwidth abusing

which is the biggest problem though

[tame tusk]

Yea so i make stuff which analyzes headshot percentages, angle of hit relative to players etc stuff like that that isnt in battleye since they cant make it specific to every game that uses be

[stone ledge]

oh i see

[tame tusk]

is there any possible way to default the code editor to vscode instead of visual studio code? when opening scripts?

Can anybody help me implement something. This is my movement script and Im using it to do many things but im currently experiencing 3 problems.

1. When I was first testing I had the issue where when ever i jumped forward over a low wall, my velocity would still build up while against the wall causing the player to launch forward. To fix this, I added a collision flags check and used an if statement to stop movement until the character was above the obstacle.

2. Now I face the problem where I cant slide against a wall when jumping against it at an angle. I tried to fix this but I just cant figure out how to get both to work at the same time.

3. I also wanted to implement a crouch system similar to minecraft so I couldnt walk off edges when crouched. To do this I used 4 directional raycasts for edge detection, but theyre not reliable. Sometimes they work sometimes they dont.

[raven raptor]

i only have music and sprites so far

not sure the issue

[polar acorn]

Internal unity bug with graph windows, you can ignore it, it won't affect any builds

Can somebody help me figure out why I'm getting a null reference on line 38 when instantiating the dagger?

[polar acorn]

Line 38 can't throw an NRE. Are you sure it's this script that's throwing the error? And that it's been saved and recompiled in case the line number changes?

Oh, wait, it can actually

transform.parent could be null

Does every object with a SubWeapons script on it have a parent?

[blissful vessel]

omg, I was so convinced it was something weird w/ the dagger I didn't even consider that being the issue. Solved, ty lmao

[polar acorn]

I missed it at first too, didn't notice the .parent in there

[teal viper]

Null reference errors only happen when you try to access a member(field/property/method) on a null reference. The only place where that happens on line 38 is transform.parent.position.

[jolly moat]

I have a SpawnManager game object w/ a SpawnManager script and some empty game objects to represent spawn points for both player and enemies. The player and enemies are prefabs that I spawn on Awake() of the SpawnManager script. It seems like my enemy is walking towards position.x of 0. My EnemyMovement script uses the player's position to drive its direction. Everything appears to be connected properly in the Unity editor. Here's a video of what I'm seeing. I can provide code snippets if that helps. Any ideas?

https://youtu.be/2vTnofNjglc

// EnemyMovement script
private void Update()
{
    if(!player)
    {
        Debug.Log("Cannot flip(), Player not found...");
        return;
    }

    if(player.transform.position.x > transform.position.x && facingDirection == -1 ||
        player.transform.position.x < transform.position.x && facingDirection == 1)
    {
        Flip();
    }
}

private void FixedUpdate()
{
    if(!player)
    {
        Debug.Log("Cannot move to player, Player not found...");
        return;
    }

    if(!isEnemyDead && !isEnemyHurt)
    {
        float distanceToPlayer = player.transform.position.x - transform.position.x;
        
        // Only move if beyond threshold
        if(Mathf.Abs(distanceToPlayer) >= 0.01f)
        {
            Debug.Log("moving enemy...");
            Vector2 direction = (player.transform.position - transform.position).normalized;
            rb.linearVelocity = direction * moveSpeed;
            anim.SetBool("isChasing", true);
        }
        else
        {
            Debug.Log("enemy too close to player, stopping movement...");
            // Stop moving when close enough
            rb.linearVelocity = Vector2.zero;
            anim.SetBool("isChasing", false);
        }
    }
}

private void Flip()
{
    if(isEnemyDead)
    {
        return;
    }

    facingDirection *= -1;
    transform.localScale = new Vector3(transform.localScale.x * -1, transform.localScale.y, transform.localScale.z);
}

[wintry quarry]

since your enemy is a prefab it's almost certainly just referencing the player prefab or something

[jolly moat]

you can see here the editor has the player prefab assigned

[wintry quarry]

yeah

exactly

the player prefab

And if you look at the player prefab guess what its position is?

[jolly moat]

how should I handle spawning a player and enemies?

[wintry quarry]

it's 0

[wintry quarry]

you need to give the enemy a reference to the actual player instance in the scene. Your spawning script can do this

[jolly moat]

Thank you, I suspected this was an issue

[wintry quarry]

e.g.

public Enemy enemyPrefab;
public Player playerPrefab;

private Player playerInstance;

void SpawnPlayer() {
  playerInstance = Instantiate(playerPrefab);
}

void SpawnEnemy() {
  var enemyInstance = Instantiate(enemyPrefab);
  enemyInstance.SetTarget(playerInstance);
}```
The structure you want is something like this

the spawner spawns the player and can hold onto a reference to it.
It can then pass that reference to the enemies when it spawns them

#🏃┃animation

[jolly moat]

I'm using this code, but I'm getting this error in the console for the Enemy and the Player: The type or namespace name 'Enemy' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?) Why does it not like the datatypes Player and Enemy?

The offending lines in VSCode:

public Enemy enemyPrefab;
public Player playerPrefab;

private Player playerInstance;

[wintry quarry]

I mean... my code was an example

you naturally have to use the classes and script names that actually exist in your project.

[jolly moat]

Could I use GameObject instead and drag the in scene Player and the prefab Enemy?

[wintry quarry]

you could use GameObject but why would you want to make life harder on yourself like that

Use your actual script

so you don't have to mess around with GetComponent and stuff

in your case Enemy -> EnemyMovement

for the player you could just use Transform I suppose

[jolly moat]

I'm new to game dev programming. Ahh, ok I'll try that

[wintry quarry]

Using GameObject variables is often the wrong choice and just makes your code more verbose and more complicated than it needs to be.

Directly referring to the components your code is interested in is the better choice

[jolly moat]

So in my case, line public Enemy enemyPrefab; would become public EnemyMovement enemyPrefab; ?

[wintry quarry]

Think about it

that's the thing you need to assign the player on right?

[jolly moat]

I think I misunderstood previously. So this would go in my EnemyMovement.cs not SpawnManager.cs? I'm still trying to understand how a spawn manager should properly behave

[wintry quarry]

I very explicitly said this was code for the SpawnManager

Look at what the codce is doing

it's spawning players and enemies

the enemy would not be doing that

[glad gust]

how do i refer to a list from another game object

[wintry quarry]

like any other variable

but - I would recommend letting the owner of the list manage the list

depending on what you need from the list exactly - there is probably a better way than directly passing around the list itself

[glad gust]

ok

[jolly moat]

I updated the datatypes to EnemyMovement and PlayerMovement, but it's still complaining EnemyMovement doesn't have a func called SetTarget(). I assumed it was a static method it inherited from somewhere. I see this is a real thing https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.0/Documentation/ScriptReference/Animator.SetTarget.html. Why is this an issue?
EnemyMovement' does not contain a definition for 'SetTarget' and no accessible extension method 'SetTarget' accepting a first argument of type 'EnemyMovement' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

[wintry quarry]

again my code snippet was an example

there is no documentation for your EnemyMovement class

because you wrote it

I was implying "you should make something like this"

[jolly moat]

I get that, I thought you were referencing some static class I hadn't heard of. Thanks for clarifying

[wintry quarry]

It's a method, not a class

[green copper]

how am I supposed to handle multiple audio sources on one gameobject? Setting an audio source in a script takes the whole gameobject as an audio source

[wintry quarry]

What's the use case? Why do you want multiple sources on one object?

[green copper]

Attempting this, but it's not assigning anything to the array, where SoundManager is a gameobject with three AudioSource components

[wintry quarry]

you can drag individual components

[green copper]

Use case is I have a telegraph, it needs to hold keyDown, keyUp, and Tone

[wintry quarry]

this will work fine but it assumes all the sources are on the same GameObject as the script

[green copper]

I figured I'd make one gameobject that was the sound manager and give it three components but it's giving me pain

[wintry quarry]

you could also individually assign each in the inspector

either way will work

[green copper]

if I try to assign an audioSource in the inspector, it takes the whole gameObject instead of any single audioSource

[wintry quarry]

you can drag individual components

right click the object with the script and select "Properties"

this will open a separate inspector locked to that object

then you can find and drag the individual audio components from wherever you want into it

[green copper]

That did the trick, thank you!

laser turret script https://paste.mod.gg/rxytlrgxovhx/0

like the damage and everything works but the beam isnt appaering

[eternal needle]

do some debugging and see if any of those conditions are preventing your code from running. theres a lot of logic we cant see, and you should at least start by debugging to see if theres any line in specific thats wrong

another thing could just be checking the line renderer itself and seeing if you can even see it at all in the scene view, if enabled manually

[wintry quarry]

I don't see anything in this code that actually calls FireLaster()

Also the code you shared has no Debug.Log so it's not clear where these are from

[hidden fossil]

ok updated the script

go back to the code

[eternal needle]

the link doesnt update, it shouldve generated a new link for you. id also double check if its even visible in scene view if you're sure the object is getting enabled

[hidden fossil]

i think i should check the line renderer

cuz verything is working

its just the laser isnt appearing

did i assign the line renderer correctly?

[eternal needle]

you should be able to see that, if its actually visible in the scene

[hidden fossil]

nope not visible in the scene

[eternal needle]

that width of 0 is probably the cause, been some time since ive used a line renderer

[hidden fossil]

the width is 0.1

oh wait

i forgot to set the material length

oops

found the problem

forgot to set a value for the positions of the line renderer

I don't use unity events too much besides stuff for buttons and other UI components where everything is present on the scene, but let's say I want to add unity events to this PageSO such that I want to call a manager when it ends. I'm trying to make sense of how this being on an SO can actually call any type of manager because it doesn't live on the scene.

Usually I just do some singleton call, but I was wondering if I can do anything similar without hardcoding too much

Like, you can target prefab instances, but you can't really do much with that right

[wintry quarry]

you could call a function on another SO (or itself) or a prefab yeah

if you architect your game a certain way you could do quite a lot with that.

[timber tide]

Wouldnt make too much sense though eh? I'm trying to make it somewhat accessible without having another dev have to implement their own singleton calls

[wintry quarry]

It depends. You could make another SO that already has those singleton calls and then assign that SO's methods here

ultimately calling the singleton

[sour fulcrum]

It relies on the assumption the singleton will exist at the time of use

[eternal needle]

it doesnt have to necessarily be a singleton since this is an SO. the manager could just directly reference the SO and subscribe too.
I dont think there is a way to do what you want without adding logic to your manager game object though

[wintry quarry]

if you use something like the Atoms arechitecture or use SO assets as singletons, then you get a direct line here

[sour fulcrum]

Which is an assumption which is bad but in the context of it being a relevant singleton based manager is a reasonable assumption to enforce

[timber tide]

Like I can just instead use Serializable pages instead of SOs which would give scene presence, but it removes the ability to add pages dynamically (to my typewriter script/component)

[sour fulcrum]

Not that it's an unsolvable problem by any means but this does mean going the route of "saving runtime data on so"s in the form of the event's listeners right?

[eternal needle]

i dont really know what you mean by that route

[sour fulcrum]

nevermind read that wrong, apologies

[sour fulcrum]

What kind of practical usecases of this event did you have in mind out of curiousity

[timber tide]

Up to the dev I guess. Say like some event to continue the game

in that case I'd probably want to communicate with the GameManager, but I assume an SO can bridge that right

[sour fulcrum]

This is just a thought that may or may not influence the way you wanna go about this but you might not want to leave the game continuing or not as such an open ended question a page SO has to answer

[timber tide]

Yeah I probably wouldn't either, so maybe a better event would be to call an audio manager to play some SFX

[sour fulcrum]

Maybe something like this has the ability to do things in the event this page finishes and maybe it has control over in what way it ends but at least how i see this it feels a little scary to just pray the page makes the game go again

[timber tide]

That's how I always feel when playing with any sequencing

[sour fulcrum]

eg. maybe you have a more free form "on page finished" event and then some more controlled, select-able setting to determine how the page wants the game to continue (because it's gonna continue regardless)

[eternal needle]

assuming its supposed to communicate with any manager, no matter what you'll need some logic that has this instance of the manager stored. If you use another SO, its still the same problem. The manager would either have to reference the SO and subscribe, or the SO would need to be passed a reference to the manager
One thing you could do is define an enum mapped to the actual type of manager assuming they're all singletons and access it that way... editor friendly but questionable code wise

[sour fulcrum]

I believe in some approaches to a setup like this though the page itself would only have the ability to do stuff when it ends (eg. do reactionary stuff like sfx and whatnot) and then how it got to that page and what happens after it's done to that page is handled by something managing the pages (eg. some visual graph based thing or something). Not saying you should do this but just that it might not be ideal to give the isolated page that much control

[timber tide]

I think having another SO which has those singleton calls is probably the call. Ideally I wouldn't want anyone editing the actual tool code and would prefer that they make their own SO with those bindings

Which would mean I'd have to suggest that type of workflow to get the events to work

[eternal needle]

is there a reason you cant just add logic to the manager class, to subscribe on awake or something?

[timber tide]

This would require the dev to write code for the tool to function, but I guess what I'm looking for is that it should be code-agnostic and work as is

If they set up an SO bindings for the managers, that doesn't necessarily imply that it's made just for the tool

Maybe I'll just ditch the idea and keep events local to the component. I thought having some per page would be a neat idea but seems like a pain

[eternal needle]

If the editor setup is really beneficial it doesnt seem like that bad of an idea honestly. It does kinda force every manager to be a singleton and having to keep this list of singletons up to date though

Im not so big on unity events in SO, it always does seem like a pain

[timber tide]

I've always heard of people using them as event buses and seems like a neat idea, but it's not something I think is too common enough to expect people to make

[eternal needle]

I've seen that stuff in some tutorials and I dont think it's useful. Ofc it was always presented as "decoupling code" as if that was true, and being able to send events throughout scenes

It very clearly would run into issues once you need to setup a lot of them. I couldnt imagine trying to find why a method is getting called, then suddenly I gotta find whats invoking a method on an asset, which is subscribed to an asset, which a GO is notified about

[sour fulcrum]

It's kinda a half measure compared to something like unity's recent-ish visual graph tools (in concept anyway)

I won't elaborate on anything specific but the mod API I made for a game allows people to make custom levels and such in editor without the requirement of any custom code whatsoever and the more inventive people have ungodly amounts of components on certain objects feeding events into events into filters into events into etc. and it gets messy fast. it's just a poor mans visual scripting solution

For implementation on that specifically I had code based events for various gameplay related events (entering an interior, a player dying, a player equipping an item, the hour changing etc. etc.) in the API and then had a separate mod/tool that acted as like a serialized wrapping around all of those which had components that middle-man unityevents into those actual ones

This kind of lets you have three different layers of implementation and usage that consist of

-the backend where all the actual code is running, in where you could/should/may implement code exposed events for when gameplay mechanics happen and accessible functions to manipulate the game
-the kinda middleend where you create behaviours/so's/classes etc. that convert code that can listen to gameplay events and invoke gameplay invents into serialised designer friendly puzzle pieces
-the frontend where you can mix and match those pieces in the editor

example of one of those middle pieces

namespace LethalToolbox
{
    public class PlayerEnterDungeonEvent : NetworkBehaviour
    {
        public UnityEvent<PlayerControllerB> onPlayerEnterDungeonEvent;
        List<EntranceTeleport> whitelistedEntranceTeleports = new List<EntranceTeleport>();

        public void Awake()
        {
            LevelManager.GlobalLevelEvents.onPlayerEnterDungeon.AddListener(OnPlayerEnterDungeon);
        }

        public void OnPlayerEnterDungeon((EntranceTeleport, PlayerControllerB) teleporterAndPlayer)
        {
            if (whitelistedEntranceTeleports.Contains(teleporterAndPlayer.Item1))
            onPlayerEnterDungeonEvent.Invoke(teleporterAndPlayer.Item2);
        }
    }
}

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

also somehow when you are sticking to wall when you press A or D you wont move, camera rotates there

[hidden marten]

mouseInput = new Vector2(Input.GetAxis("Mouse X"), Input.GetAxis("Mouse Y"));
transform.Rotate(0f, mouseInput.x * sensitivity, 0f);

I have these lines of codes for my y axis rotation. but for some reason it jitters while i move the mouse. anyone has any idea why? Thanks

[noble cedar]

I am little bit inexpirienced but if I am correct you should use transform ONLY when you want something to teleport

[hidden marten]

ohhh. do you have any ideas on how i can rewrite the code? will transform.rotation = Quaternion.Euler(0, mouseInput.x *sensitivity, 0) work? (i suck with quaternions btw)

[noble cedar]

private void Rotation()
{
float mouseX = Input.GetAxis("Mouse X") * mouseSensitivityX;
float mouseY = Input.GetAxis("Mouse Y") * mouseSensitivityY;

    transform.Rotate(Vector3.up * mouseX);

    float xRotation = cameraHolder.localRotation.eulerAngles.x - mouseY;
    if (xRotation > 180) xRotation -= 360;
    xRotation = Mathf.Clamp(xRotation, -80, 90);

    cameraHolder.localRotation = Quaternion.Euler(xRotation, 0, 0);
}

this is my code for camera rotation

tho lets be real most people would kill me for that 😄

[noble cedar]

yesterday I has few people help me remake my camera script so I think this one is the correct one now

[hidden marten]

transform.Rotate(Vector3.up * mouseX);
this is the exact same line i use for my y rotation, but it still jitters

[noble cedar]

yea I have no idea why since for me it works flawlessly

[hidden marten]

can you show me your hierarchy setup? i think its because i have the main player as the child of my player object

[noble cedar]

as of now I am in school so I can not sent it ill try to find it in screenshots I was sending to teacher because I had few problems also but dont get your hopes up

[hidden marten]

oh alright. thanks though!

[keen cargo]

What's this rotation for? Camera?

[hidden marten]

yeah, a first person camera

[keen cargo]

What do you have it under, Update()?

[hidden marten]

yes

[keen cargo]

Try FixedUpdate() instead

FixedUpdate basically forces the camera to operate under 60fps conditions

Update() is too fast for camera controls so you'll get jitters

[eternal needle]

??? That's not how any of this works

[keen cargo]

That's what i understood

Feel free to correct, but you do definitely want it to be fixedupdate

[eternal needle]

Use cinemachine. It's a premade camera that's better than what most people will write

[keen cargo]

Let the boy walk before running first

[hidden marten]

ikr 😭

[keen cargo]

If you understand the basic camera stuff then you can do cinemachine

[hidden marten]

is it easy to learn?

[keen cargo]

Cinemachine takes a bit of time

[eternal needle]

Please just stop offering advice when you arent even familiar with the basics either.

[keen cargo]

Can you at least correct me then please

Like say anything other than "you're not being helpful"

Tell me WHY I'm not correct

[eternal needle]

It is incredibly easy. There are tons of tutorials, its just a matter of choosing the correct cinemachine camera and then you can play around with the settings.

[hidden marten]

yooo the fixedupdate thing worked... its still not that smooth but wayy better than before

[keen cargo]

Try lateupdate() instead

I might've gotten the fixed/late mixed up

[hidden marten]

should i put my input function in the lateupdate as well?

[eternal needle]

Fixed update is used for physics, update doesnt "run too fast causing jitters". Theres nothing I can say to correct about that, it just simply isnt true.
The only reason youd use fixed update is if the player object moves via rigidbody AND doesnt interpolate which a player rigidbody should.
Cinemachine handles literally all of this you just need to select which update mode to use too

[keen cargo]

You could've just said "it's used for physics"

I would've gotten it immediately

[hidden marten]

how did putting my rotation function in fixedupdate help though

[eternal needle]

If you really are gonna read the first 6 words and ignore everything else which is pretty useful information, I see no purpose in explaining anything further to you

[keen cargo]

What is your problem? Why are you assuming that I haven't read the rest?

[polar dust]

You want to do all your input and game object movement in update, then update the camera in late update

[eternal needle]

I havent seen how you move the object, refer to my message above about why you could use fixed update but ultimately shouldnt. The player being a rigidbody should use interpolate, or it might look choppy for people with high end pcs.

[noble cedar]

this isnt beginner code stuff this is advanced shit xD

[keen cargo]

It kindaa is beginner, i have interpolation in my movement too

It's not that advanced, just some couple extra steps

[eternal needle]

It is about as beginner as it gets when we're literally talking about how objects move.

[noble cedar]

yea but how cinemashine is beginner stuff

[polar dust]

cinemachine isn't some advanced thing, it probably can be if you get really deep into it

[eternal needle]

Because it's a plug and play solution. No beginner should write their own camera if you are intending to use it in your game. Sure you can learn using it but, it's simply not going to end well

Cinemachine requires no custom code, you literally just choose a camera. How much easier could that get?

[hidden marten]

okay so lateupdate didnt work. fixedupdate is the only thing that helped. i heard someone say its not good to put the main camera under a rigidbody, is that the issue?

[keen cargo]

It's completely fine to write your own camera, it helps you learn how everything works behind the curtains

Plus you'll get more used to coding your own components

[noble cedar]

tbh I am just going thru docs and cinemachine is somewhere I havent gotten to yet

😄

[keen cargo]

You may want to have your movement interpolated, I don't have the code on me right now, but it's basically adding one extra line

[hidden marten]

ohhh. if you dont mind explaining can you tell me what is does basically? i like to learn my stuff before using them hahaha

[keen cargo]

Because if you fixedupdate on a non-interpolated player, then high end pcs do get jittery

[eternal needle]

Can you screenshot the rigidbody?
Truthfully I wouldnt have it underneath anyways but remember rigidbody moves within the physics loop (like fixed update). If you have interpolate on, it will smooth the movement and move every frame. The camera would also do the same as a child object

[keen cargo]

Interpolation is basically the computer calculating extra frames between an object's position

[noble cedar]

also while we are here could someone help me with this please?

[hidden marten]

ooooohhh

[keen cargo]

If you've seen those "60fps anime fight" videos, that's where you can see interpolation

(they look horrible btw lol)

But for stuff like physics it's really good

Because it reduces the jitteriness of physics simulations

[hidden marten]

ohhh i see

[keen cargo]

And it's literally just one line to your movement code

Not even that, just a statement i believe

I think it's like an extra parameter to your rigidbody

[hidden marten]

yeahh it is turned on

[hidden marten]

see? i put my interpolate to interpolate

[keen cargo]

Hmm i need to check mine later, I know i enabled interpolation within code

[hidden marten]

try setting the friction of the wall to 0

[keen cargo]

Within the inspector it "could" be different, but i could not explain why it would be if it was

[noble cedar]

the wall has only collider

you cant set friction there

[keen cargo]

Oh try making a physic material

For the player

[hidden marten]

yeah

[noble cedar]

I tried that didnt help also somehow it broke my other script

[keen cargo]

very peculiar, it shouldn't affect other scripts

[eternal needle]

With networking there could be a ton more reasons than what we see here.
#archived-networking or the unity multiplayer server pinned in there is where youd want to post this. though truthfully if you're a beginner you shouldnt even be touching multiplayer

[noble cedar]

my multiplayer works correctly as of now
I have been working with unity for 9months now
I just ran into this problem for the first time

or maybe even earlier just hadnt notice it

[hidden marten]

so do i leave my rotation script in fixedupdate or do i switch to cinemachine?

[eternal needle]

That doesnt change anything about my response, if it uses netcode at all then it's more appropriate in the other channels. If you're doing multiplayer you should be familiar with how to debug though.
I STRONGLY suggest you reconsider multiplayer. This is the advice many others would give as well

[formal valley]

Hi what's the function of touching colliders? like ontriggerEnter2d(){}.

[keen cargo]

In the end you're better off with cinemachine but i do recommend you figure this out with the manually coded camera, you'll learn a lot

[keen cargo]

Oncollision?

[formal valley]

yeah

[eternal needle]

#💻┃code-beginner message
Up to you. I dont think you'll learn enough from it at this point because making your own isnt completely trivial

[keen cargo]

Yea oncollision is the touching of colliders lol

[formal valley]

💀

[noble cedar]

but why would I remake my game now when basicly this is the last thing that needs fixing? also should I really switch to Networking even tho its mostly just normal code with few changes?

[hidden marten]

true, i want to use manually coded camera as well, but i've been stuck with the movement for 3 days and i dont want to spend more time

[keen cargo]

I'll get home soon and send you what I have, if it helps then great, if not then it's up to you

[hidden marten]

alright. i want to try and use quaternions instead of transform.rotate, can someone help me with that?

or does it overcomplicte things?

[keen cargo]

With quaternions you'd be doing the same thing

Just the code will be more compact

[hidden marten]

ohh.. i still want to give it a try though

[keen cargo]

Oh yes you definitely do want to know how they work

They're very useful

From what i saw that you posted earlier, why not give it a try?

The snippet you sent

[eternal needle]

This isnt even close to the first time I've seen this exact ideology of "I just need to fix this one thing!"
Also yes it's more appropriate because if anyone helping you in here isnt familiar with how network transforms (or even ownership) work then they could entirely miss what the real problem is. I didn't fully look line by line to see what your issue was (because on mobile the website keeps going blank) but you should really add debugs and see why things dont align with what you think.

[hidden marten]

alright! transform.rotation = Quaternion.Euler(0, mouseInput.x *sensitivity, 0), this you mean right?

[keen cargo]

Yea give it a try

It's better if you try it, and then ask why it doesn't work - than to ask if it would work beforehand

[noble cedar]

might be just my idiocy what about checking every time if player is grounded which I already have for when he jumps and if he is in the air for more then idk 0.5s it will forcefully add velocity down?

let me go try that brb

[hidden marten]

nope it does work. it doesnt even let me move along the y axis this time, it just snaps back. i was able to move it with jitters the last time around

[eternal needle]

With what you describe, the issue really just sounds like you are using the default physics material. You should assign one that has 0 frictions to the player

[keen cargo]

Oh i just noticed, you might want to try either *= or +=

Quaternions are a little silly like that

[noble cedar]

yea but how come when I add new physics material to it my script which checks collider (its shop) suddenly breaks

[eternal needle]

🤷‍♂️ it's not like your monitor is physically breaking when this happens. "It breaks" is not an actual error

Surely something more specific is happening

[hidden marten]

i can move it this time, but with more jitters hahahaha

if i were to not put my main cam under the rigidbody, what should i do?

[keen cargo]

Don't take it off the player

Unless you're using cinemachine there's no reason to really take it off the player

You'd have to make the camera follow the player's position in code, which would just make it more jittery

[noble cedar]

let me try debug the problem first before I go whinning about it in chat

😄

[lone tundra]

I'm using unity Netcode For Gameobjects and following the tutorial https://docs-multiplayer.unity3d.com/netcode/1.11.0/tutorials/get-started-ngo/. I am up to the HelloWorldManager.cs script part and have pasted the script. However, error message Assets\HelloWorldManager.cs(34,43): error CS0120: An object reference is required for the non-static field, method, or property 'HelloWorldManager.m_NetworkManager' shows up even though I copy-pasted the code from the tutorial. How do I fix this?

[low warren]

so you mean i should move my slide code into my player's movement code?

[noble cedar]

#archived-networking

[lone tundra]

oh mb

[keen cargo]

1. that documentation is outdated, the page says it
2. #archived-networking is a better place to ask

[noble cedar]

yea idk I created new physics material but I am still sticky to walls

[eternal needle]

Change that friction combine to whatever the minimum option is called

I think the default is 0.6 (been forever since I've created one, could be wrong). So an average in that case would be 0.3

[noble cedar]

you are the best thanks
also my problem was that I have been stupid I forgot to add in inspector in my shop Prefab to show what gun you are getting 😛

[lone tundra]

I'm using unity 2022.3.54f1 and I can only download netcode for gameobjects 1.11.0

[noble cedar]

I would recommend using the unity 6000.1 version they remade whole networking there

[lone tundra]

How do I upgrade unity to that version?

[noble cedar]

you download it in unity hub

[grand snow]

Then you backup your project if you aren't using source control before you begin.

[noble cedar]

source control?

[grand snow]

Git, unity scm, SVN, perforce.

easy start is using git with github

[noble cedar]

oh so basicly somewhere to put your code?

[grand snow]

Yes, source control systems are used to track all changes made in a project so you can go back in time, have multiple branches and collaborate with others easily

[keen cargo]

oh yeah you definitely want to use github

starting out at least

even as a solo dev it's super nice

if you messed something up you can just go back to the last commit you made (like rob mentioned)

[grand snow]

lets remember that Github is a online host for a GIT repository. Others exist such as gitlab.

though i recommend github desktop for managing the repo for beginners

[noble cedar]

my dumb ass just made copy of the whole project xD

[keen cargo]

also @hidden marten I'm home, so can you send the script for the player movement and the camera look?

[grand snow]

Hey when i started out I did too but we learn!

[keen cargo]

narr 💀 hahaha

yea don't do that, you're also wasting a lot of space on your pc (since the unity libraries take up a surprising amount of space)

[noble cedar]

because I had single player game but for our 1y project to pass the school year it wasnt enough so I had to remake it into multiplayer :/

[noble cedar]

surpisingly it takes up 10gb the copy :/

[keen cargo]

when you set up your source control, there's a thing called ".gitignore", make sure you have it set up for unity

on github desktop its really simple, it's literally just a dropdown tab

that will prevent "too large file size" commit errors, just because of those libraries

[grand snow]

you mean the Library/ folder.
Some plugins such as firebase have actual lib files that are too big (which require something called git lfs to commit properly)

[keen cargo]

yep

this will only help up to a certain point though, if you have some crazy large assets (or just a large amount of them in general) then you'll have to set up git lfs or switch to something else like Perforce

for a student project don't worry about it too much though

[hexed terrace]

that's gitlfs, not gitignore.

Use the gitignore to not upload the things you don't need to backup (ie: library folder), and gitlfs to commit large files correctly

[keen cargo]

don't they "kind of" go hand in hand though? since the library folder is quite large, and you'd need git lfs to commit it (if you didn't have gitignore for it)

[hexed terrace]

no, they don't

[keen cargo]

makes sense

[hexed terrace]

gitlfs is for single files, and the library folder is ignored

[keen cargo]

because I remember doing my first project, and encountering the same error

I did the gitignore, and the error was solved

well it's not an "error", more so that it's just git asking if you want to set up LFS

[grand snow]

yea you are meant to not include anything in Library/ but a file being too big is another problem

[keen cargo]

ahh i see

[hexed terrace]

you only need to backup these three folders of a project

[grand snow]

[hidden marten]

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

sorry for the delay i was eating lol

[keen cargo]

no worries lol

ok so one thing that i see right away is try putting the moveplayer and the movemouse under fixedupdate

since i assume the movemouse was your camera controls

because you're moving your player with physics, so fixedupdate works perfectly for that purpose

[hidden marten]

true. but moving mouse doesnt really use physics. like i said earlier, it kinda works when i put move mouse in fixed update. should i leave it there and move on?

[keen cargo]

you could also have the movement in fixed, and mouse in late

also side note, but yep having interpolate set up in inspector or code is the exact same, so you did fine there

[hidden marten]

nope doesnt work

[keen cargo]

Show the code

[hidden marten]

skip a bit to the end lol it takes a long time to run

(also i didnt clamp the x rotation yet)

[keen cargo]

i had to watch the whole thing because for some reason discord didn't embed it correctly lol

[keen cargo]

so in your code i'm seeing that you're multiplying your mouse movement multiple times by the sensitivity

so first you do it in myinput, and then you do it again in movemouse

that could be why there's some weird behavior

oh you actually do it for the third time in movemouse when you do the transform.rotation

you only need the sensitivity from the input

[hidden marten]

i removed everything, it still jitters

[keen cargo]

send code

[hidden marten]

[keen cargo]

hmm ok i'll boot up a project and run it there, maybe i can spot something better that way

[keen cargo]

so i'm thinking there's two possible issues,

one is that you might want to multiply time.deltatime for the mouse movement

the other is that instead of using linearvelocity, you use addforce

addforce is probably a lot better than linearvelocity

[hidden marten]

oh hell no 💀

i spent the last 3 days trying to make that work

[keen cargo]

addforce?

[hidden marten]

yeah...

[keen cargo]

oh its quite simple actually, let me see

[hidden marten]

and the only issue i have is with the mouse movement, not with the player movements, the movement is pretty smooth

[keen cargo]

well the player movement is tied to your mouse movement, which is what might cause issues

[hidden marten]

even if this was true, why is putting it under fixedupdate working

[keen cargo]

putting the mouse movement under fixedupdate?

[hidden marten]

yeah

[keen cargo]

hmm trying it from my end, it makes the camera a bit more jittery

also i really recommend to separate the keyboard inputs into two:

horizontalInput
verticalInput

(you'll also have to do this for the mouse)

[keen cargo]

ok, just solved it

multiply your mouse INPUT by time.timescale

[hidden marten]

multiply where?

in update()?

[keen cargo]

in your myinput, the mouseinput section

[hidden marten]

like this?

[keen cargo]

[hidden marten]

its still jittery 😔

[fossil drum]

Why wouldn't it be?
FixedUpdate most of the time only runs once every few normal Update loops.

[keen cargo]

The mouse movement is in Lateupdate

only the player movement is in fixed

[hidden marten]

it worked for you?

[keen cargo]

yeah it seems to work completely fine for me

[hidden marten]

can i get your script?

[keen cargo]

using UnityEngine;

public class PlayerMovement : MonoBehaviour
{
    public Rigidbody rb;
    public Camera cam;

    public float speed;
    public float jumpForce;
    public float sensitivity;

    private Vector3 keyboardInput;
    private Vector2 mouseInput;
    private float xRot;


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

        rb = GetComponent<Rigidbody>();
    }


    void Update()
    {
        MyInput();

    }

    void FixedUpdate()
    {
        MovePlayer();
    }

    void LateUpdate()
    {
        MoveMouse();
    }

    void MyInput()
    {
        keyboardInput = new Vector3(Input.GetAxis("Horizontal"), 0f, Input.GetAxis("Vertical"));
        mouseInput = new Vector2(Input.GetAxis("Mouse X") * sensitivity * Time.timeScale, Input.GetAxis("Mouse Y") * sensitivity * Time.timeScale);


        if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Space))
        {
            Jump();
        }
    }

    void MovePlayer()
    {
        Vector3 moveVector = transform.TransformDirection(keyboardInput) * speed;
        rb.linearVelocity = new Vector3(moveVector.x, rb.linearVelocity.y, moveVector.z);
    }

    void MoveMouse()
    {
        xRot -= mouseInput.y;

        transform.rotation *= Quaternion.Euler(0, mouseInput.x, 0);
        cam.transform.localRotation = Quaternion.Euler(xRot, 0f, 0f);

    }

    void Jump()
    {
        rb.AddForce(Vector3.up * jumpForce, ForceMode.Impulse);
    }
}

it's basically the same

i tried to not adjust your script too much in order to see if it was just the timescale

[hidden marten]

im using your script and im seeing the jitter still 😔

[keen cargo]

at this point i can't really tell tbh, it could just be an editor thing - try building the game and see if it comes up there

[fossil drum]

Are you guys sure your values of the component are the same in the editor?

[keen cargo]

I'll take a look

[fossil drum]

Other then that, your FPS in the editor might be the same as the FixedUpdate speed for example, and you might not notice the delay.

[keen cargo]

I changed my values to be the same as his, I don't see any issues

[hidden marten]

can i just put it in fixedupdate and forge about it lol

i mean if it aint broke you dont gotta fix it

[grand badger]

no. Camera rotation/movement HAS to happen in LateUpdate

[keen cargo]

didn't it stutter in fixedupdate too though?

[hidden marten]

no it works perfectly

[hidden marten]

i spent 4 days on just the movement 😭 ion wanna make it 5

[keen cargo]

also i would actually try having the camera be separate from the player, so not as a child to player

i know i said it wasn't necessary but honestly it would probably work better

[grand badger]

no worries you'll solve this within minutes

[keen cargo]

and then updating the camera position to player in update

[grand badger]

the issue if you put it in FixedUpdate is that the updates aren't smooth

that's because Physics (like RigidBody movement) DO interpolate

but the camera movement doesn't -- because there's no built-in functionality for that (it's outside physics)

the stutter you're encountering is likely because of edge-case synchronization issues, so just gotta ALSO update sometimes in FixedUpdate lol

and a potential issue is this:

        if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Space))
        {
            Jump();
        }

    void Jump()
    {
        rb.AddForce(Vector3.up * jumpForce, ForceMode.Impulse);
    }

here you're just adding force IN UPDATE

which isn't necessarily wrong, but not ideal. there's a recommended pattern for that

    void Update()
    {
        keyboardInput = new Vector3(Input.GetAxis("Horizontal"), 0f, Input.GetAxis("Vertical"));
        mouseInput = new Vector2(Input.GetAxis("Mouse X") * sensitivity, Input.GetAxis("Mouse Y") * sensitivity);
        wantsToJump = Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Space);
    }

    void FixedUpdate()
    {
        Vector3 moveVector = transform.TransformDirection(keyboardInput) * speed;
        rb.linearVelocity = new Vector3(moveVector.x, rb.linearVelocity.y, moveVector.z);
        if (wantsToJump) { rb.AddForce(Vector3.up * jumpForce, ForceMode.Impulse); }
        wantsToJump = false;
    }

but primary issue is that you're moving rotation like this:

transform.rotation *= Quaternion.Euler(0, mouseInput.x, 0);

but in physics, you should be using rb.rotation IN FIXED UPDATE
