#

in terms of referencing specific classes that would be per card it's pretty easy to use scriptableobjects as a drag and drop asset and whip up a little editor script to automatically make one for any of that class if none in the project currently exist

modern lagoon
#

Yeah unity isn't great for this kind of stuff, maybe i can write a simple custom editor to handle this, or store card code inside some other file formats

sour fulcrum
#

you can store it in classes pretty fine

#

you just don't need to handle the logic in editor

Hello. There is no assymetric limit for a Configurable Joint ? I'm trying to do a drawer in VR, but the drawer can be "pushed" in the wall

sour fulcrum
#

This example isn't amazing since it needs abit of context but here's a snippet from a card game project i messed with

[CreateAssetMenu(fileName = "Hook", menuName = "ScriptableObjects/Moves/Hook", order = 1)]
public class Hook : MoveData
{
    public override IEnumerator OnActivate(MoveInfo moveInfo)
    {
        //moveInfo.enemy.player.MoveCardPosition(GetTarget(moveInfo), 0);
        List<Act> acts = GetActs(moveInfo);
        acts[0].InvokeAct();
        yield return new WaitForSeconds(0.5f);
        EndMove(moveInfo);
    }

    public override List<Card> GetTargets(MoveInfo moveInfo)
    {
        return (new List<Card>() { moveInfo.enemy.hand.Last() });
    }

    public override List<Act> GetActs(MoveInfo moveInfo)
    {
        Card target = GetTargets(moveInfo).First();
        SetPositionAct setPositionAct = new SetPositionAct(moveInfo.card, target, 0);

        return (new List<Act>() { setPositionAct });
    }
}
#

where you can reference this Hook move/effect (imagine like a pokemon move) in unity super easy

#

but the actual logic of it is done in the class code directly

#

(getting the target the move is gonna be used on is seperated because i wanted to be able to preview the attack without actually running it)

modern lagoon
#

I get it now, thank you so much

#

i think i'll do something like this

sour fulcrum
#

one thing i highly suggest for this kinda pattern is whipping up a little script template too

#

if you put specifically named files in /Assets/ScriptTemplates/ you can set up your own default scripts like how the default one gives you the start and awake function

#

helps skip annoyingly making a new monoscript doing all the writing then making the new scriptableobject etc.

modern lagoon
sour fulcrum
#

eg. Assets/ScriptTemplates/01-Script Templates__New Move-NewMoveData.cs

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

[CreateAssetMenu(fileName = "#SCRIPTNAME#", menuName = "ScriptableObjects/Moves/#SCRIPTNAME#", order = 1)]
public class #SCRIPTNAME# : MoveData
{
    public override IEnumerator OnActivate(MoveInfo moveInfo)
    {
        yield return new WaitForSeconds(0.5f);
        EndMove(moveInfo);
    }
}
#

uses the name you give the cs file to populate the createassetmenu attribute too

#

I followed a tutorial using controller but I got problem, so i thought i should use rigidbody but that was worse cause i realised controller has a lot of things rigidbody doesn't e.g u can walk on stairs smoothly unlike rigidbody. Anyways this is the script that I made it has working gravity

 Isgrounded = Physics.CheckSphere(GroundCheck.position, GroundDistance,groundmask);
    TouchedUp = Physics.CheckSphere(UpCheck.position, GroundDistance,groundmask);
    if (TouchedUp)
    {
      velocity.y += gravity + Time.deltaTime;
    }

    if (Isgrounded && velocity.y > 0 )
    {
      velocity.y -= gravity * Time.deltaTime * 5 ;
    }

    if (!Isgrounded  )
    {
      velocity.y += gravity * Time.deltaTime ;
    }
        float x = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal");
        float z = Input.GetAxis("Vertical");
        Vector3 move = transform.right * x + transform.forward * z;
        controller.Move(move * speed * Time.deltaTime);
   if (Input.GetButtonDown("Jump") && Isgrounded)
   {
    velocity.y = MathF.Sqrt(JumpHeight * -2 * gravity);
   }
        controller.Move(velocity * Time.deltaTime);
    }
#

is there Anyway i can turn the code to unity in discord or do i have to just take a ss?

#

The problem is I feel like this is not the best way to handle gravity is it?

I have code that moves a collider down in a loop, adjusting the y position by 0.1 each time, and checks for collisions to determine the highest and lowest points of (a section of) a mesh. However, it seems that physics (collision) calculations aren't being registered during the loop, even though they work in a coroutine or update loop. The issue is that I need this to happen within a single frame. Any suggestions?

#

Figured it out, didn't know about Physics.SyncTransforms() and Physics.Simulate()

and i got an error saying the name keycode does not exist in the current context

#

wha does that mean😭

Is there a preset for Unity3D camera controls or does it need to all be coded manually?

#

(For instance, making the player's mouse control the pitch and yaw, the scroll wheel change the offset from the player, having the camera offset change depending on obstructions, etc)

#

Cinemachine

#

you still need code for some stuff but cuts the work in half or more

Cinemachine has camera avoidance but the other stuff is relevent on your own implementation. There is templates out there by unity that do have some of that written up though

For future reference pay attention to what channel you're asking in. This question has nothing to do with code.

To answer your question, this is likely due to a failed or incomplete editor installation. Try reinstalling and pay attention to any issue during the installation.

I have a player that can mine stones. the player has a capsule collider and a hitZone box collider as a child game object, you can see to the right of him in this image. Each stone has a box collider. When I swing the pickaxe to mine stone, it seems like it's detecting the player's capsule collider, not the hitZone collider. Here's my function for mining stone, why does it still count this as a hit even though the player is facing away and what can I do to fix that?

public void MineStone()
    {
        Collider2D[] stones = Physics2D.OverlapCircleAll(hitZone.position, weaponRange, stoneLayer);

        if(stones.Length > 0)
        {
            // always mine basic stones
            if(stones[0].GetComponent<Stone>().stoneType == "b")
            {
                stones[0].GetComponent<Stone>().TakeDamage();
            }
            // only mine if player has diamond ability 
            else if(gameManager.canMineDiamond && stones[0].GetComponent<Stone>().stoneType == "d")
            {
                stones[0].GetComponent<Stone>().TakeDamage();
            }
        }
    }

I have weaponRange set to 0.5f. I thought maybe the range was just too big at first, but I'm not sure that's the problem anymore

teal viper
#

And since that's parented to the player(and probably doesn't have an rb of its own), the player is considered an owner of that collider

#

If your hit box collider doesn't server any purpose at all, perhaps just remove.

jolly moat
#

you're right that I have no rb on hitZone

#

the hitZone collider is so I mine what's in front of my and not the capsule hugging the player's body

#

front of me*

teal viper
#

Because from the code you shared, it looks redundant to me.

jolly moat
#

I was thinking there'd ultimately be 4 positions the hitZone collider would go so the player could choose to mine above/below/left/right instead of using the player's body coming into contact

#

if there's a stone above you and to the left, if you just use the player's capsule collider here, how do you choose to mine one stone over the other?

hallow bough

#

Or you need to correct your layer mask being passed into the overlap function

#

Also you could just do a loop instead of grabbing the first index and only proceed with logic if GetComponent<Stone> returns a valid reference.

#

Then you would just skip over the hitbox

I'm running into an issue and I dont know what to do to get this to work. So I want to rotate my character on a top down game to face my coursor. But I want to make the character have a set turn speed so you cant turn instantly my pointing the character at the mouse location. So I want to use Quaternion.Lerp to lerp the rotation towards my mouse loaction. I got the mouse position and the rotation and everything working but instead of just the Z rotation rotating the character to face left and right, It also rotates the x and y axis making the character turn into like a paper character. So it turns the sprite to the side making it thin af haha.

Heres the code for the script, all of the transforms, mainCamera and everthing is set up correctly

using System.Collections.Generic;
using Unity.VisualScripting;
using UnityEngine;

public class FaceMouse : MonoBehaviour
{
    Vector3 relativePosition;
    //Where the nose should be pointing
    Quaternion targetRotation = Quaternion.Euler(0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f);

    public Transform target;
    public float turnSpeed = 0.1f;

    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update()
    {
        faceMouse();
    }

    void faceMouse()
    {
        relativePosition = target.position - transform.position;
        targetRotation = Quaternion.LookRotation(relativePosition);

        transform.rotation = Quaternion.Lerp(transform.rotation, targetRotation, Time.deltaTime * turnSpeed);
        //transform.rotation = Quaternion.Lerp(transform.rotation, targetRotation, Time.time * turnSpeed);
        // Vector2 direction = new Vector2(mousePosition.x - transform.position.x, mousePosition.y - transform.position.y);

    }
}
image.png
#

Thats the transform for the player, those numbers change. Up and down changes the x rotation, left and right is y, and it looks like the z rotation is moving but its slow compared to the others

image.png
#

Like is there a way to just specify the rotation from the from and to point to just z? like dont rotate x or y, just z with an interpolation

hexed terrace
#

from the from and to point to

This bit makes no sense.

But if you just want to rotate around Z, only change the value of Z

novel sail
#

Yeah, I want to rotate Z its just that I want it interpolated and I don't know how to do it other that trying to use Quaternion.Lerp. is there a way to interpolate that z axis using the location of your mouse as the target and the center of the character as the from point?

novel sail
hexed terrace
#

oh, it's 2d and you just want to look at the mouse cursor

#

tones of solutions for this online

novel sail
#

I've tried searching for 2 hours, I couldn't find any myself. I could just be dumb though

hexed terrace
novel sail
#

Because in the documentation for Quaternion, all of them if it applies just snaps the character to cursor. The only way to get a smooth turn is from Quaternion.Lerp or Quaternion.Slerp I think its called

#

But both of those turn my character on the x and y axis when I only want the z axis to rotate

hexed terrace
#

yes, lerp and slerp

#

you can lerp/ slerp a single value and feed that into a quaternion rotation

novel sail
#

How can I do that?

hexed terrace
#

google -> unity how to lerp

novel sail
#

Yes. go to how to lerp roation. you se how one face of the cube is rotating on the x, y, and z axis? I want to rotate it just on the z axis as in the picture

image.png
#

Or heres a better explination. I want him to rotate on the z axis over a period of time based off of the transform location of my cursor

hexed terrace
timber tide
#

You can use rotate towards over lerp cause I think lerp will run into problems of finding the shortest angle of rotation

#

slerp I think gets over that problem though

I end up having way too many scripts on my player object because of modularity - what is the best approach so that this doesnt get out of hand. Create an empty GO for "Movement" with all the movement scripts attached - and add this to the player object?

naive pawn
eternal needle
#

thats definitely one downside for going full "single responsibility" while trying to make it easy to setup in inspector

timber tide
#

Can chop up movement and make a Motor class that the base transform references. These could just be c# classes, but if you want a way to decouple everything you'd make it a mono and child it to the base transform and just use component workflow

For example

    -> Motor```

Hi! I'm a beginner recreating Pong as my first project. In Pong, the ball is bounced at an angle from the paddle based on which of 7 invisible sections of the paddle the ball hits. So, I've given my paddle 7 child objects with colliders and wrote the following script for the ball itself.

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

Yet the ball still bounces off of the paddle the same way it did before I wrote this. I think it's checking the parent object's name instead of the child object since the parent (the paddle) has a rigidbody and the child collider doesn't? How can I have this script on the ball reference which of the paddle's 7 child colliders it hit?

BlazeBin - jjsjlghkqilk

A tool for sharing your source code with the world!

hexed terrace
#

confirm what it's hitting first, by logging it out

Debug.Log($"Hit collider: {col.collider.name}");

odd barn
#

Oh cool, that helped me figure out that the problem actually comes from hitting two sections at the same time, which it does most of the time.

#

It works as intended if it hits just one

#

I think I can solve this

keen dew
#

Another way to do it would be instead of using 7 colliders, use just one collider and calculate the section based on which part of the collider the ball hits

odd barn
#

using getcontact?

keen dew

yes

This is a little more on the design side but i wanted to make sure i understand things correctly: I'm making a little rpg in which each class has its own stats, sprite, and moves. I know ScriptableObjects are good for holding data like that, but I've heard varying things about their usage when holding functions (which would be the moves in this case) could all of this be handled using a ScriptableObject or would I have to use something else along with it to store moves fully?

hexed terrace
#

I don't think I'd put movement in an SO, but you certainly could

#

You'd have to always pass in the rb/ transform/ whatever is being moved to that method

vapid ledge
#

moves as in skills/usable abilities

#

probably should have been clearer

#

every move just takes in a source Agent and target Agent

sour fulcrum
#

You could totally do it in the SO yeah

#

really just depends on the context but its def not out of the question imo

#

in this case i'd probably have a seperate move SO that you plug into the unit

vapid ledge
#

Where would the actual move function go in that case though?

sour fulcrum
#

in the move so

vapid ledge
#

oh

#

Okay

sour fulcrum
#

That way the moves aren't directly built into the classes

#

even if you end up doing it that way by nature of the games design

hexed terrace
#

put it wherever it makes sense for your game

#

and results in the least amount of code

vapid ledge
#

I guess I'm just a little confused on where the code goes in this case, I assume a separate (static?) script would have to be made for each move and then passed into an SO (instance?) for that specific move?

sour fulcrum
#

In the case people tend to use (and what i was suggesting) you'd probably have a scriptableobject script and an instance of said script per move

#

but there's no single answer so

hexed terrace
#

As you'll have different skills... you'd probably be better off having a base/ abstract class called Skill which has the required methods (attack, defend, etc) and all the other skills inherit from that. The only SO involvement would be to give different required values to the skill

sour fulcrum
#

idk personally at that point knowing that the skills are gonna need display strings, sprites etc. etc. it feels easier just to do that directly through SO's rather than base classes

hexed terrace
#

I think you'd end up with too much unrelated code sharing an SO class

timber tide
#

SOs are fine if you want to move similar data around the editor, otherwise serializing structs/classes works fine too

#

Benefits of SOs:
Easy data sharing, decouples code, can be seralized as lesser derived classes.
Cons of SOs:
Bloats up project with asset files

Benefits of Serializing Classes:
Singular data embeds right into the prefab
No asset bloat

Cons of Serializing Classes:
Can't cross references instances on the editor
Nesting classes can eventually make it unmanagable on the editor/gui
Type is hardcoded; need to change in code if you want to serialize a lesser derived type

vapid ledge
#

thank you all for the help 👍

sour fulcrum
#

Personally agree to disagree on 2 files per move being bloat but maybe there’s some games i’m not considering

#

Not being able to easily pick the type per instance for serialized classes is def a pretty major con if the game isn’t directly building in moves to classes though

timber tide
#

I've had a skill system where each little component had a SO dependency. Every skill needed its own directory for how much data was floating around

sour fulcrum
#

I mean that makes sense though no?

timber tide
#

It's fine if you prefer to do things that way

sour fulcrum
#

I get that it might have initially unideal editing usage at scale but more objectively I think it makes sense to have each of those pieces of content be defined by a separate file

timber tide
#

Really the big take away that no one really considers is the nesting problem of serialize classes. You can open up an SO alone and easily references other SOs without making the GUI impossible to navigate.

#

That and nested classes have serialization problems about 2-3 nests deep

#

First it stops considering default values, then it just outright wont serialize

hexed terrace
#

Wouldn't nest classes for this sort of thing anyway

sour fulcrum
#

like Pokemon for example i'd imagine there would be

An SO for the Pokemon that holds
An SO for the type
An SO for the ability
1-4 SO's for the move
An SO for the held item

tulip stag
#

So, let's say I have a list of these POCOs called Character.
If I call a method within Character John that sets ``Character.spouseto a randomCharacteron the list (let's call itSally), will it just be a reference or will I have an entire instance of Sallystored inside ofJohn`?

For the record, I do NOT want this to happen. I want the spouse property to merely be a pointer to another Character on the list, so that when I need to read the spouse property I am sent to the proper Character and can modify it as needed

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

namespace Gatekipr.Town
{
    [SerializeField]
    public class Character
    {
        public string name;
        public Race race;
        public List<Trait> traits;
        public int age;

        public bool isMarried;
        public Character spouse;
        public bool isPregnant;
        public int daysPregnant;

        public string job;
    }
}

-# I promise there's nothing weird going on in this program despite the odd variable names

wintry quarry
#

Classes are reference types

#

If you want a value type where it makes a copy you would use a struct

#

BTW [SerializeField] doesn't do anything here

#

You probably want [Serializable]

tulip stag
#

You see, that's what I thought! But [Serializable] was giving me an error

tulip stag
#

Also, I've been told this should be a ScriptableObject instead of a POCO. I'll be honest, I'm still a beginner and I don't think I fully get the pros and cons of SOs. What would turning this into an SO bring to the table?

eternal needle
#

Also you can have both a SO and poco here. The scriptable object could just be

public class CharacterSO : ScriptableObject
{
  public Character character;
}

which in some cases make more sense. Not sure if you'd want to do that here

# tulip stag At this point I would probably create them in the editor itself and save them in...

The question was more of how do you plan to "create them in the editor itself and save them in my disc" without scriptable objects? your alternative would be using monobehaviours. This would be saving them in a prefab or in scene. I mean overall you can get the same result, but one major downside would be version control. Changing a scriptable object asset compared to a scene or prefab is way more clear in git

Could anyone tell me the best SQLite library that supports Windows and Android cross-platform, and that doesn't require using POCO models, being more flexible? I found some here, but they require using POCO models, and I think it's unfeasible considering the number of fields, just filling up the code.

deft igloo

Question, how recomendable is to follow the tutorials in the Learn part of Unity Hub?

burnt vapor
#

Generally it's not a good idea to resort to using databases when you implement data persistence

edgy radish
# burnt vapor XY problem? Why would you need it?

I want my game to have offline and online options. If the player chooses online, it uses the MySQL system. If it is offline, it uses the SQLite system.

I could have just saved it in JSON, but I think it's safer to use a local database. I'll encrypt it and digitally sign it.

burnt vapor
#

I don't understand how online mode uses MySQL

#

Are you saying the client instantiates a direct connection to your server database?

edgy radish
#

Yes

burnt vapor
#

I really don't think that's a good idea in terms of security

eternal needle
burnt vapor
#

There is absolutely no control on what comes in or goes out of the database this way

edgy radish
#

In the future, I will mediate with a REST API

burnt vapor
#

I would suggest you do it the right way to begin with instead of having to worry about refactoring it

grand snow
burnt vapor
#

You can still implement an online/offline system, but consider implementing a REST API layer from the very beginning and use a local cache or storage using encrypted files in offline mode

#

Just remember, it doesn't matter how much security you put in. If something exists on the local client it can always be decrypted

grand snow
#

dw guys its safe to ship private keys in your client!!! /s

burnt vapor
#

So I don't know the context of your game or what is being saved but just know that clients are perfectly able to maliciously modify the contents

edgy radish
burnt vapor
#

Encryption and obfuscation is just a temporary solution in those cases

edgy radish
#

I don't know if it's really safer.

grand snow
#

its not safer

eternal needle
#

doesnt even matter if you decrypt it, someone could mod the game and just ... not use the save file system. manually plug in all the values you want
Also if the offline and online mode are the same profile, that alone will be another issue.

#

Online mode can be safe, offline cant

burnt vapor
#

At least online mode can be validated, but it also kind of depends on what you are doing

#

A client can just send their score to you and you can accept what they send, or you can implement an actual system where they might have to submit a demo to the API

edgy radish
#

So, can I go with JSON, with security measures, or go with SQLite, with the REST API?

grand snow
#

what no

edgy radish
#

Which is better?

burnt vapor
#

Why would SQLite be any more secure though?

#

AFAIK it has absolutely no security

grand snow
#

unless you want to send sql cmds direct to your server db (you shouldn't) there is no reason to use sql on both ends

#

sqlite is good for some games so it could be worth using but you seem to miss understand some things

eternal needle
#

me saying json was just for simplicity because of the existing libraries. If you want absolute online security, your server would be the one calculating and storing all the results by itself. not reading what the client says its result is

burnt vapor
#

What is your game anyway? Is the data important to be valid and not generated by the client maliciously?

edgy radish
#

It would store the positions of game objects, player data, creature data, and such.

#

And online, there would be the addition of email and password, which is already a critical situation, right?

burnt vapor
#

Well, yeah

#

How would you prevent a client from extracting the connection string to your database and fetch all the emails and passwords?

#

Again, your game's obfuscation and encryption are not going to prevent that, just delay it

edgy radish
eternal needle
grand snow
#

HTTP is fine for non realtime games but otherwise you need UDP

burnt vapor
#

Especially .NET REST APIs are incredibly simple now that the minimal API pattern exists, I would just write a very minimal API as a middle ware if I were you

#

Or like rob says, sockets. These should still relay to a server socket that handles the database though

edgy radish
burnt vapor
# 
var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder(args);
var app = builder.Build();

app.MapGet("/", () => "Hello World!");

app.Run();

4 lines of code give an api with an endpoint

#

Throw EntityFramework in there and you have a database connection with maybe 10 more

edgy radish
#

So I use this API in MySQL?

burnt vapor
#

Sure, or something like PostgreSQL

#

You can also use SQLite

#

EntityFramework is highly configurable

edgy radish
#

Thanks. What about connecting Unity to SQLite? I only found libraries that needed POCO models.

burnt vapor
#

EntityFramework also supports .NET Standard 2.0 which is what Unity supports

#

I should mention this is EntityFramework Core, not EF6. EF6 might also work but this was targetted for .NET Framework which should be avoided for new projects

#

Other than that idk how Unity would react when it comes to this. I generally never used databases with Unity directly because of the previously mentioned security risks

#

And saving should probably be done using binary serialization to files, not databases. Also because the client usually needs some sort of runtime or local DB for these things

edgy radish
#

Oh, so it's better to save to a local file?

burnt vapor
#

It's what games do

grand snow
#

sqlite is a library so you want to find a c# wrapper for it.
Sqlite stores a database in a file and you can interact with its data with sql

burnt vapor
#

Check a random game and it likely does binary serialization to a file in your app data or in the game's folders

edgy radish
#

Sorry if I say disjointed things. I don't speak English.

edgy radish
#

I understood

#

Okay, thanks guys.

grand snow
#

to clarify, sqlite is a c lib hence needing a c# wrapper to make using it easier. It also means depending on how its compiled it wont be compatible with other platforms without a recompile of the c lib.

edgy radish
#

Thx

Hey! Quick question here. I'm having a small hiccup with my game. It's supposed to be a sort of Rimworld copy I'm working on, basically a 2d game. The way I try to handle UI and input scenarios is to have a GameStateManager which allows me to track throughout the code what to do and show, etc. I'm trying to implement a PlaceBuildingMode, which should highlight each Tile with a bit of a white effect. It works by having a OnMouseEnter() check if the gameMode is PlaceBuildingMode, and highlight itself. Same thing for OnMouseExit by turning it off. My problem is that I can't find a way to turn the last tile off when switching mode this way.

#

Iterating over every single tile would be a hassle, and asking each tile to check if it's not PlaceBuildingMode, then turn the highlight off seems kinda bad on performance

tired summit
mighty citrus
#

So kinda have a floating Square sprite that turns on when I'm in the right mode, hover above the closest square and turn off when changing mode?

tired summit
#

yeah

mighty citrus
#

Honestly love that idea thanks for that! I'll try it and see if it works

tired summit
#

i thinking about a seperate tilemap, it track the samething you mention above but it just a white square with like 20% oppacity so you will be more optimize when you just turn it on and off

red igloo
#

I decided to start again from the basics, I have an issue where for the walk speed when I put the value on 3 it barely moves I have to put it at least 10 to start moving then again if I have my drag of my rigidbody at 5 then I have to increase the speed above 10. how can I fix this?

https://paste.ofcode.org/tQUCtN47Ai4GVAuqWkxxht

But I understand the logic behind that idea

how do I activate water hdrp

tired summit
#

@keen dew i used it myself 🙂

keen dew
#

Good for you, but it's still bad advice

tired summit
#

unity only have like 2 way of move right? position and velocity am i correct?

keen dew
#

no

tired summit
#

position moving if too fast cause tunneling, velocity is way more better bc it have tunnel protect if you turn collision detection to continuous

keen dew
#

That has nothing to do with AddForce vs setting velocity directly

naive pawn
#

<@&502884371011731486> compromised account

red igloo
#

no I am using addforce cause its a good way to implement realistic and physics-based movement,

tired summit
tired summit
naive pawn
keen dew
#

In most cases you should not modify the velocity directly, as this can result in unrealistic behaviour - use AddForce instead
Do not set the linear velocity of an object every physics step, this will lead to unrealistic physics simulation.
This is directly from the documentation

tired summit
#

i just understand the question is he moving way too slow when using addforce

What do you mean "activate the water"

in the unity tutorial they say I need to activate a water in the projekt setings

#

but i dont have a hdrp in my projekt settings

polar acorn
#

Did you actually install HDRP

lavish maple

#

hdr is not a render pipeline

then don't answer if you are just going to guess

what the third one

that depends on what you think the first two are

there are literally three listed there

yeah, i remember the other render pipeline wrong :(((

slender nymph
tired summit
#

i think he should explain what he trying to achived first

red igloo
#

well my issue was that even if I put the walk speed to 5 my player barely moves even tho I haven't messed with the drag yet.

keen dew
#

Why is that an issue?

tired summit
red igloo
#

there’s no inherent problem with using large values idk I just don't like it lol id rather use low values for movement.

tired summit
#

physic doesnt care you like it or not :DDD

red igloo
#

Will it not cause any problems though? just curious.

naive pawn
#

if it doesn't, then changing values might not work as you expect

#

doubling the speed might not actually double the speed

#

etc

#

.Length

#

what do you mean "x and y"

#

anyways this is easily googlable

slender nymph
tired summit
slender nymph
#

but like chris said, this is easily googleable and that should be the first resort when seeking information.

tired summit
#

yeah, i search but it give me weird result so i ask

#

and idont know .getlength() exist

naive pawn
#

how would you get a weird result from such a simple question

tired summit
slender nymph
naive pawn
#

sounds like you need to practice how to google then

#

what did you google?

#

ok... so literally all the results there would give you the answer

#

this is highlighted in the second result

#

next time you should consider clicking some of the search results instead of ignoring them

tired summit
#

aye aye sir

lavish maple
#

sry me again i tryed everything I watvhed 5 tutotials and ask chatgpt but the Urp wont deaktivate

slender nymph
#

you need to remove URP and install HDRP if you want to be using hdrp. also this is still not a code issue

ok sry

# red igloo Hey, I would like some feed back of my script I just added camera relative movem...
  1. If you're assigning the Rigidbody in Start, it shouldn't be serialized in the inspector, or vice versa.
  2. On line 65 I don't think you should normalizeMoveDirection again there. That means joysticks for example won't let you move faster or slower base don how far you tilt them. If anything you should use ClampMagnitude, e.g. moveDirection = Vector3.ClampMagnitude(moveDirection, 1);

Hey! I made a full body first person controller by watching a tutorial. Walking/strafing left-right doesn't cause any issues, but when I walk or strafe (?) forward or backward, my camera behaves weirdly. I've attached a video. What might be the issue?

This is my player controller script: https://pastes.dev/OHxU8FYs0J

hi, in my game, im trying to rotate a robot based on where it is on the grid its moving. however currently, when its moving left, its rotated downwards for some reason. why is this? (btw it is correctly debugging "MOVING LEFT!!")

here is my code
https://pastes.dev/4Skq4RvoGe

image.png
pastes | 4Skq4RvoGe

A paste containing 66 lines of csharp.

wintry quarry
#

It doesn't mean "look to the left"

#

if you want it to look to the left that would be transform.rotation = Quaternion.Euler(0, 180, 0);

#

and: transform.Rotate(new Vector3.zero); does absolutely nothing

#

it mean "rotate by 0 degrees", aka - do nothing

#

that should be transform.rotation = Quaternion.Euler(0, 0, 0) or just transform.rotation = Quaternion.identity;

#

the other issue you may have here is that we don't know which way your sprite faces in a neutral pose.

#

you should laso make sure you actually intend to rotate on the y axis here. It's more typical in 2D to rotate on the Z axis only

sterile radish

ohh okay i see, thank you so much for your clear explaination!

Does Unity like it when you get components of another object in the start function? I added a gameobject playerGameObject in the inspector and am trying to use playerGameObject.getComponent<MyScript>(); in Start(), but it doesn't appear to actually be getting the component when I start the game.

#

Specifically I am trying to get the component PlayerMovement which is a script of mine in Start but it stays empty when the game starts even though I confirmed the component is there in the object

image.png
#

actually, as you can see I've been working around it by declaring the transform of the object publically and adding it in the inspector but I thought I should be able to get these in the code too...

wintry quarry
#

just assign the object to the PlayerMovement slot directly and remove the playerGameObject field entirely

#

The same way you did with the Rigidbody and Transform fields

wet pivot
wintry quarry
#

It's a code smell

#

Anyway if all these other references worked and this one didn't - the simple answer is that the script is not on that object

#

Despite what you said

wet pivot
wintry quarry
#

There's some missing informatiuon here ¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

show the code?

#

!code

eternal falconBOT
wet pivot
#

ah sorry

wintry quarry
#

If possible the full script

wet pivot
#

oh oof

#

uh yeah

#

I declare the variable in line 14 and assign it in line 46

#

Get an error in line 80 because it never actually gets the object I'm referencing.

wintry quarry
#

Yep I see that - I notice this is a prefab

#

are you assigning the prefab

#

Or the object in the scene?

wet pivot
#

I'm dragging the object in from the scene

wintry quarry
#

Is that a prefab or in the scene?

wet pivot
#

that object is in the scene

#

but it isn't saved as a prefab

wintry quarry
#

Ok and one last question. If you change:

public PlayerMovement playerMovement;```
To:
```cs
private PlayerMovement playerMovement;```

Do you get any compile errors?
wet pivot
#

compiles fine

wintry quarry
#

Getting any errors in console when you run the game?

#

If you got an error on line 45 that would cause the rest of the method not to run, for example

wet pivot
#

I get an error in game on line 80 when it references playerMovement

#

Object reference not set to an instance of an object

wintry quarry
#

but nothing else? If you scroll all the way to the top of the console window?

wet pivot
#

Oh, I missed this one

#

GetComponent requires that the requested component 'PlayerInputActions' derives from MonoBehaviour or Component or is an interface.

wintry quarry
#

or turn on Collapse to collapse all the NREs

wintry quarry
#

that error means the rest of Start doesn't run

#

And yeah that error makes sense

#

you can't call GetComponent on what I assume is your generated C# class from the input system.

wet pivot
wintry quarry
#

That line should just be:

playerControls = new();
// and probably this too:
playerControls.Enable();```
#

Or actually

#

I don't understand what you're doing with that variable

#

since you're trying to get it from the player object somehow/for some reason

#

and it seems unused

#

so probably just delete that line

#

(line 45, and line 13)

wet pivot
#

damn yeah it's completely unnecessary

#

ah man the answer is always the simplest one

#

well now I know that I can't just grab that component off another gameobject

#

I appreciate the help man you're very knowledgeable about this

wintry quarry
#

Well.. it's not a component so yeah

wet pivot
#

hmm yeah I suppose not. Hadn't really thought of that. So far I've only used scripts as components but hadn't considered the way you use the input system doesn't actually assign it as one

#

The new input system is... different.

wintry quarry
#

Component is a very special type of C# object that you can attach to a GameObject

#

literally every other kind of C# object is NOT a Component

#

If you just make a class that doesn't derive from MonoBehaviour, that's a regular C# object, and not a Component

#

that's the kind of object the generated class from the input action asset is

#

Just a regular C# object.

wet pivot
#

just out of curiosity, and let me know if this is too broad to really answer...

#

but are there other cases where having a non-monobehavior script is useful?

wintry quarry
#

Too many to list

wet pivot
#

this is my first time encountering one tbh

wet pivot
wintry quarry
#

literally any time you need a container for data or behavior that isn't a Component attached to a GameObject

wet pivot
#

that actually answers my question thanks

wintry quarry
#

you will need a container object to hold all your save data that you can serialzie and deserialize

#

you will generally do that by making regular C# classes and structs.

wet pivot
#

got it

wintry quarry
# wet pivot got it

As someone who learned programming first then got into Game Dev, it's fun to see this perspective, because MonoBehaviour is a very special Unity thing and the vast majority of C# has nothing to do with them.

#

So... outside of Unity, everything in the universe is not a MonoBehaviour.

wet pivot
#

yeah I've learned the very basics of a few programming languages but never got past the basic math and printing functionality. only deeper dives I've done were learning a few javascript and powershell libraries.

#

I've heard people say game programming isn't "real" programming. I mean they're wrong but I get it cause it's a lot different to what I'm used to

wintry quarry
#

Game programming is about some of the realest real programming there is. I'm saying this as someone with over a decade of professional "real programming" experience that has nothing to do with game dev

pure drift
#

Game programming is arguably harder in my opinion you have to worry about doing the right thing inside the engine and inside of your code

wintry quarry
#

You have very tight performance constraints in games. You have to do your work within 16ms per frame or less for higher framerates.

In my day job we're happy if we get a response back to the client in less than 100ms

#

and we don't care as much about it being consistent

wet pivot
#

yeah my previous experience has been with managing user accounts/data on my old college's website and more recently managing user accounts in windows server.

#

not nearly as much math involved 😂

#

Tried to modify the enemyPrefab on the inspector and it doesnt change the enemy.
Made a new Spawner with the new enemyPrefab i want and it still generating the same enemy idk why O.o ill try to resolve by myself but just ask if someone knows what i am missing

i should note, that you cant set it lower than that value, once you enter and exit playmode, it will default back to 0.01

#

I encountered it before

#

i think the unity devs forgot to add a [Min(0.01f)] attribute to the field. Which there really should be to make it clear that you cant go lower than it

How to type the two lines? like what combination should i use on my keyboard

slender nymph
#

depends on your keyboard layout. that is called a pipe character or vertical bar, look it up with your keyboard layout

naive pawn
#

either above or beside the enter key

graceful onyx
#

oh its alt+6 for me

#

ty tho

graceful onyx
#

it displays an error for me

#

could they be the wrong symbols

#

Heres the tutorials code

slender nymph
#

start by configuring your !IDE if you aren't seeing errors underlined in your code

#

Oh

#

ill get VS Code then

#

was using sublime since i was using html on it a while ago

graceful onyx
#

Here it is in vs code

#

oh found the problem

#

should be Input

#

not input

slender nymph
#

you still need to actually configure vs code.

graceful onyx
#

wym configure it

Well in my case I did that for walking, running , jumping , and crouching and it turned out to be good

also you should hide the mesh of your players head so you have a better camera position and it won't clip into it

#

but turn on the shadows for the head

mystic glacier
#

How is that exactly done?

i dont notice any lag..

i shrink my CC's collider and adjust its Center position

idk why it didn't show it in the clip lol. Should say shadows only

I got a Mixamo rig though, the mesh only seems to be the entire character, the Head in hierarchy is only a transform

also the "YouDiedBitch()" function works

rocky canyon

it really helps

#

debug everything

#

see whats causing the error.. do u even have a console error?

#

that may help point out the issue

#

maybe respawn script is null

hexed nymph
#

when the player collides with the enemy nothing happens

then make sure ur tag is set up correctly

like I said, the Debug.Log message works

when the player collides with the enemy the message appears

what debug.log.. i dont see a debug log in the code u sent..

how is that code related ^

how do I send that to you? (or so)

paste the code into the paste-bin website and hit the Save button

Thanks to you!!

and which part isnt running? sorry, you said the debug runs but what doesn't?

Oh sorry I forgot to add that

np, just trying to get the full picture

red igloo
rocky canyon
#

but not the ground..

#

that'd suck

#

I dont use Rigidbodies that often so I dont run into issues like this that often sorry

#

u might could use two different colliders on ur player.. (one for the feet that have friction) and one for the body that doesn't

#

but not sure how that setup would look

rocky canyon
#

not the actual instance/clone of the prefab u spawned..

#

thats ur problem

hexed nymph
hexed nymph
#

damn

#

I mean

rocky canyon
#

face palm moment

#

u need to cache the instance of the player when u spawn it in

hexed nymph
#

in the inspector it appears the "Clone" thing

rocky canyon
#

and use that reference instead

hexed nymph
#

give me a sec

rocky canyon
#

yea.. but ur using the prefab version u assigned in ur script

#

not the actual clone that u spawn

#

Instantiate returns a copy of what it spawns

#

its pretty simple to cache it..

#

thers another example or so on ther.. or u can just google how to cache a gameobject u instantiate

#

or maybe u need to cache a script instead.. u can do that too with casting thats (i think thats) what ^ that example is

hexed nymph
#

now it shows me this error

naive pawn
#

right, that would mean you wrote something incorrectly

rocky canyon

whats line 47 of damagehitbox

lol i knew u were typing in response to me 😅

respawnScript.RespawnPlayer1;
this is not a valid line of code

rocky canyon

yea.. not sure theres another doc page

naive pawn
hexed nymph
rocky canyon
#

but i usually dnt do any of tha () stuff

rocky canyon
#

Legacy

hexed nymph
#

both are "respawnScript.RespawnPlayer1;"

#

the code is the same as the link btw

naive pawn
rocky canyon
#

thankyou 💪

(just changing the version slug)

hexed nymph

#

ahh okay

naive pawn
hexed nymph
#

Oh bruhhhh

rocky canyon
#

brick wall hit ya?

hexed nymph
#

I forgot the ()

rocky canyon
#

hehe.. classic

hexed nymph
rocky canyon
#

i accidently posted a legacy doc page

#

(older unity version)

#

u can just set it directly

#

thats what boxfriend was correcting

#

u can use it as a gameobject or any other component u need

#

might save u a .GetComponent to just use the component (up to what ur doing overall.. i didn't read too much of the code)

hexed nymph
#

I'm actually new at this, didn't now how to code so yeah I'll try that 😭

#

but how can I get the transform from the clone?

rocky canyon
#

same way u get teh transform from anything

hexed nymph
#

its because I also have a Spawner

#

idk if use that script instead

#

do u want me to show u the script?

rocky canyon
#

how much of the fundamentals of c# and unity did u skip?

#

just curious

hexed nymph
#

this is literally the last step

u dont even have a variable declared for this.. 🤔

hexed nymph

the storage is just this XDDD


public static class PlayerStorage
{
    public static GameObject P1Prefab;
}```
#

then in the character selector I have another script that changes the P1Prefab for the character you've choosed

rocky canyon
#

since its a gameobject u should be able to go..

GameObject spawnedGO;

if(P1 == true)
{
    spawnedGO = Instantiate(PlayerStorage.P1Prefab, transform.position, transform.rotation);
}``` right?
#

then spawnedGO.transform.position anywhere u need after its been assigned

hidden fossil

does anyone know how to fix this?

hexed nymph

what does it mean by that its missing a monoscript

oh nvm

Oh

Dont look at me like that

wet pivot
#

lol

#

hmm quick question. I am applying a force to my player rigidbody and noticed the results are inconsistent at different frame rates. Is this expected behavior?

sour fulcrum
wet pivot
#

// Apply Additional gravity to player when falling if (state == MovementState.falling) { rb.AddForce(transform.up * fallSpeed, ForceMode.Acceleration); }

#

fall speed is a negative number I apply to the player when they're falling so that they fall faster

sour fulcrum
#

this does not tell me where you are applying it

wet pivot
#

one sec

wet pivot
sour fulcrum
#

like for example is this in update or

#

where does this stem from loop wise

wet pivot
#

update

#

ah im applying a force every frame

sour fulcrum
#

update is frame dependent

wet pivot
#

thats bad

sour fulcrum
#

where-as fixed update happens a consistent amount of times

#

ideally you wanna do anything physics related in fixedupdate for this reason

#

(and for the opposite reason anything input related in update or via events using the "new" input system)

wet pivot
#

hmm well now i'm not sure the way i've implemented this is right

nimble apex
#

Farming System

#

i dont wanna block the whole channel, this is a relatively complicated system , needs to be explained in detail, so i gonna thread it

#

its a pure coding question

wet pivot
#

Yeah I'm going to try a different way. I think even if I used fixed update, applying a force every frame is a bad idea.

#

the fall speed is a negative number so it is applying an increasing downward force but I think it would still be inconsistent on fixed update unless I'm misunderstanding how it works.

cosmic dagger
wet pivot
#

hmmm fair enough

#

it works

#

applying multiple forces like this feels unholy

#

but it is the result i wanted thanks yall

Is there a way to add the red/green/blue axes moving arrow gizmos to an in game level editor? Basically, is there an easy way to make a gizmo for moving an object along an axis in a game like the one in the unity editor itself, or would i have to make that from scratch?

ocean plume
#

relativly new to unity and im trying to hunt down the source of some camera jitter. im using lerp, ive got my rigidbody movement in fixed update, camera in late update and my logic in update. It is specicly things in the world that do this, I have a test object parented to the player and that has no jitter on it.

#

void LateUpdate()
{
camRotate.y += Input.GetAxis("Mouse X") * SenseX;
camRotate.x = Mathf.Clamp((Input.GetAxis("Mouse Y") * -SenseY) + camRotate.x,minY,maxY);
cam.localEulerAngles = Vector3.Lerp(cam.localEulerAngles, camRotate, camSpeed);

}
grand badger
#

Last parameter (t) is supposed to be a percentage, but you’re passing speed instead

#

You can replace Lerp with MoveTowards if you want and it’ll work

ocean plume
#

my camspeed is a float of .4f

grand badger
#

Yes, it’s not a percentage

slender nymph
#

obligatory: use cinemachine

grand badger
#

I'm super against that ^

slender nymph
#

let me guess, you're one of those "if you didn't make it yourself then it isn't worth using" kind of people? because cinemachine is great and will be absolutely miles better than anything anyone asking questions here can write

#

and there is no need to reinvent the wheel when there is a perfectly good wheel sitting in the garage

grand badger
#

the correct code for what you want involves Quaternion.RotateTowards(cam.rotation, targetRotation, camSpeedInAnglesPerSecond * Time.deltaTime);

#

no, I'm one of those "Cinemachine is bad for gameplay" kind of people.

slender nymph
#

in what way is it bad

wintry quarry
grand badger
#

I have to go in like 2 minutes so can't explain my experience now 😛 however just try using it as gameplay camera in like a game jam and you'll see.

slender nymph
#

i always use cinemachine and it's great

ocean plume
wintry quarry
grand badger
#

Just switch to this for starters: cam.localEulerAngles = Vector3.MoveTowards(cam.localEulerAngles, camRotate, camSpeed);

wintry quarry
#

And you need to make sure nothing in your code is breaking the interpolation

grand badger
#

however it'll also be wrong

wintry quarry
ocean plume
#

interpolation fixed it, using movetowards mostly worked until it made it spin REALLY fast but the lerp seems to work even if not the intended way

wintry quarry

#

How would i lock the FPS of my game? and how would i do a 3f delay before an input

#

i want it to be 60fps and 3f jumpsquat

ocean plume
#

fixedupdate happens a certain number of times per second reguardless of framerate and I believe it is 60 but I could be incorrect

#

fixedupdate is 50 times a second so that wouldnt be that method

sudden quiver
#

is there a way to change fixedupdate to 60?

slender nymph
#

that won't change the rate of fixedupdate (which increasing the rate of which can impact performance)

sudden quiver
#

so wait how often does VoidUpdate trigger?

ocean plume
#

update is once a frame

sudden quiver
#

cause thats what my movement is in currently

#

ok

slender nymph
#

Update is called every frame by the engine

sudden quiver
#

so yeah if i lock my fps to 60 then that gives what i want

#

and how do i add a 3f delay to something?

slender nymph
#

is there a reason you want to lock it to 60fps?

sudden quiver
#

i want you to hit jump, 3frames go by, then you jump

slender nymph
sudden quiver
#

and i want 3f jump squat for any inputs that end in an up to be possible raw

sudden quiver
slender nymph
#

no, that is for Timeline

sudden quiver
#

wheres frame rate in project settings?

slender nymph
#

that isn't a thing

sudden quiver
#

oh, google said it was

#

So what script should i put the fps in?

#

cause right now my only script is the player movement

ocean plume
#

I believe you can have one that is just the scene in general that is where I would put that and the match timer etc

#

so you would create an empty game object and attach the script to that

sudden quiver
#

Aha

#

cool

#

and put the Application.targetFrameRate in the Void Start?

ocean plume
#

yes

sudden quiver
#

cool

ocean plume
#

and looking at the documentation you also need to disable vSync for it to take effect

sudden quiver
#

so this should work?

Pls guys am new to unity and I have a problem now look at the first one and the second one I can't find assets again pls why

1744516885469.jpg IMG_20250411_025314.jpg
ocean plume
#

should do just test it

sudden quiver
slender nymph
sudden quiver
#

or do you just mean see if it gives an error or not

#

Also i want to detect a dash input by either a single button, or by hitting AA or DD in quick sucsession, how would i do that?

ocean plume
#

might not be the best way to do it but you could keep a timer for how long it has been sense the last of the same input and if its close enough it would run a dash function that could also be called at the seperate button press

sudden quiver
#

hm alright

#

i should probably find a good way to do it since i also want to be able to detect if its like down, then forward for quarter circle inputs, or down, forward, up, ect

ocean plume
#

so in update you add a simple int that increments every frame, whenever you press A or D it checks the number of frames sense the last one, check if its the same one, if its all right you run dash, and then if it does it or not set the timer to 0

sudden quiver
#

yeah that would make sense

#

so i would want 4 ints, one for each direction?

ocean plume
#

no

#

one timer with a way to check the last input

#

you dont want 646 to do a dash

sudden quiver
#

true

#

so just one timer to see frames since last input

#

then like check what the last input was, and how many frames ago?

#

would that work for like a 268 input since that would need 3 inputs?

ocean plume
#

or if you want one system that can also do every motion input you have a custom struct that stores what frame it was and what the input was then just store an array of these

#

so basicly you have an "object" that contains "Input" and "Frame"

sudden quiver
#

i might go for that, so its easier for future me

ocean plume
#

then you can check the last x to see what the inputs are

sudden quiver
#

i just like dont want to overthink it and make a way to complicated system i dont need, but also dont want to make it bad and have to redo it

ocean plume
#

you could also just have it be 2 ints and have the numpad notation and then give each button a number

hidden fossil
#

does an image or anything that has a canvas as its file holder must be within the canvas range?

sudden quiver
#

but it might be bad to overthink it cause i know i want super cancels so you can do like 623 then 236 and it would cause you to cancel a dp into a 236236 super

#

but that might be a little complicated for my skills

sudden quiver
ocean plume
#

i wouldnt worry about doing advanced combos or inputs just make a game figure it out one step at a time

sudden quiver
#

yeah true

#

i got basic left right and a jump right now

#

and im gonna figure out 66/44/macro dash/airdash tommorow

#

and also the jumpsquat thing

ocean plume
#

instant airdashing works because they dont check for 1, 3,7,9 it just sees an input that is 8+6 then a 6

sudden quiver
#

interesting

#

good to know

#

i might also figure out normals/links/gatlings before worrying about specials

#

my first big goal is to make sol badguy though

#

(and by that i mean just a shoto probably)

ocean plume
#

i mean sol isnt even really a shoto he is more of a rushdown

sudden quiver
#

shoto esque

#

i mean dp, approaching kick and a "fireball" (gunflame is so trash)

grand badger
# sudden quiver

Yup. I just set a static Config/Settings class somewhere with this code:

[RuntimeInitializeOnLoadMethod]
static void Init() {
    Application.targetFrameRate = 60;
    // other static configs I want in my program
}

Much cleaner than ahving it on a MonoBehaviour imo, and can prove useful for more usecases.

ocean plume
#

just keep in mind that a LOT of fighting games features come from useful bugs in old arcade fighting games, these are shockingly complex systems to do "correctly"

sudden quiver
#

yeah

grand badger
#

Unity will parse ALL static methods with the RuntimeInitializeOnLoadMethodAttribute and execute them on load, so any class will do.

sudden quiver
#

fighting game is prob a hard kind of game for your first decent sized project

#

i also need to figure out how to make movement not feel so floaty and awkward

ocean plume
#

are you using rigidbody or kinematic character controls

grand badger
#

fighting game is one of the easy options imo lol.

sudden quiver
#

rigidbody cause thats what i remembered how to do

sudden quiver
grand badger
#

you can easily get your foot hurt by going with something like RPG or Platformer. Design is hard.

sudden quiver
#

so motion inputs

grand badger
#

yeah it's all about asset requirements imo.

sudden quiver
#

or i just have all my characters be charge characters because that sounds easier to code 👍

grand badger
#

Code will be done eventually.

ocean plume
#

rigidbody isnt what you would want to use for something like that to get it a lot tighter even the most simple kinematic controllers will be much snappier

sudden quiver
#

whats the difference?

Kinematic you add in the like gravity and everything yourself right?

ocean plume
#

because instead of using forces that have to cancel out and build up its just binary move left move right

grand badger
sudden quiver
#

ah sick, ill redo it tommorow then, the rigidbody stuff only took like 30min anyways

#

ty for the help

#

very convient that you are familiar with fighting games lmao

ocean plume
#

I am no means an expert in either unity or fighting games but I do know a little bit of basic game development, messed around with kinematic vs physics and other stuff in godot

grand badger
sudden quiver
#

you know more than me

#

and it was nice you could give advice with me not having to explain what motion inputs and numpad notation are
