Parent the gameobjects right?

[teal viper]

Yes. What else can you parent?

Heya, was following https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NsSk58un8E0 tutorial and got stuck on making the character move, I probably did something stupid but when i debug test if i have the correct directional input it does show the correct direction (timestamp starts @ 9:10)

[craggy pelican]

hi i am new visual effect graph . How can i play only system (6) IMPACT FLIP in my scene

[shut swallow]

Update, seems like the problem is bigger than i though, my player character itself is not rotating

which is a huge issue

[formal valley]

hi
how can I make camera waypoint in unity
like chase mission.

[upbeat seal]

Hi I'm using unity version 2023 and I'm quite near a project deadline, how can I get the old navmesh ?

[fierce shuttle]

In most cases, a "waypoint" can be represented as Vector3 type, so you could store a list of Transforms and use their .position to know where to move your camera, then you could use Update or a coroutine or something similar to handle moving your cameras transform to each waypoint at some rate

[mystic glacier]

I'm dragging and dropping a material onto a terrain but it doesn't work. How can I use a material on a terrain?

This is how my material looks like

[fierce shuttle]

You should keep your question to one channel instead of crossposting, you may not get a response right away but itll be less confusing for anyone who is able to help with your question later on

[stuck field]

I don't know for sure so this may not be helpful, but you could try downgrading by installing a lower version through package manager, but again, I don't know for sure so I'm just pointing out what I think has a chance to work.

[rancid tinsel]

hey guys where can i ask about unit testing help?

is this the right place?

[runic lance]

if it's code related, I don't see why not, we don't have a specific channel for testing anyway

[compact rivet]

This is super basic

But I'm having some trouble instantiating a prefab at a parent's location

I have to create a speech bubble on an enemy but I can't figure out how to spawn it at their location

I want to draw a white dot crosshair circle. I think I should do this by code because sprite would be pixelated in small sizes. However when I tried to do it by code, it also turned out to be pixelated. How can I draw a white dot crosshair circle in the center of the screen?

[eager spindle]

you can get the center of the screen with Screen.width * 0.5f and Screen.height * 0.5f.

not sure how you're drawing the sprite but https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Graphics.DrawTexture.html to draw the sprite

it would be much easier to do this with unity's UI though, not sure what you mean by the sprite being pixelated in small sizes

[warm field]

is there a way to lock the camera rotation of a player when the cursor is visible?(i tried using an if, but that did not work)

[fervent abyss]

is there any way to create a coroutine that returns a type?

for example a coroutine that returns a string

[grand snow]

Use an async function instead as these can return something

[warm field]

for some reason the camera can rotate even with the cursor unlocked

even though i specifically requested it to not work while the cursor is unlocked

figured it out, at least temporarily

[mystic glacier]

👋

[warm field]

welp i did not figure it out

[mystic glacier]

When I crouch walk to left my camera seems fine, but when I crouch walk to right I have this issue. Is this related to my animation or my player controller (which handles camera movement)?

[warm field]

anyone know why the code does not set my walkspeed to 0?

 void Moving()
 {
     if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Escape) && moveSpeed == 0.125f)
     {
         moveSpeed = 0;
     }
     else
     {
         moveSpeed = 0.125f;
         float currentSpeed = Input.GetKey(KeyCode.LeftShift) ? sprintSpeed : moveSpeed;
         float moveForward = Input.GetAxis("Vertical") * currentSpeed;
         float strafe = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal") * currentSpeed;

         Vector3 move = transform.forward * moveForward + transform.right * strafe;

         if (move.magnitude > 0)
         {
             rb.MovePosition(rb.position + move * moveSpeed);
         }

         onGround = Physics.Raycast(transform.position, Vector3.down, groundCheck, groundLayer);
         if (Input.GetButtonDown("Jump") && onGround)
         {
             rb.AddForce(Vector3.up * jumpForce, ForceMode.Impulse);
         }
     }

[fringe carbon]

Are you using a mobile phone to create your game

[mystic glacier]

No, why?

[fringe carbon]

The picture is not like that of a pc

[mystic glacier]

That's literally Windows 11...

Oh, you replied to that message

[hexed nymph]

Yoooo I've tried to delay a function inside another script with this code:
StartCoroutine(respawnScript.RespawnPlayer("p1"), 0.7f);

but the console gives me an error

[mystic glacier]

I thought you were replying to this, my bad

[hexed nymph]

"error CS1503: Argument 1: cannot convert from 'void' to 'string'"

[ivory bobcat]

Try a different key (escape causes the application to lose focus in the Unity Editor.

[mystic glacier]

What does your respawn script look like?

[ivory bobcat]

Place some logs to see if the lines of code are being executed

[hexed nymph]

    {
        if (player == "p1")
        {
            p1clone.spawnedP1Go.transform.position = respawnPoint.position;
        }
        if (player == "p2")
        {
            p2clone.spawnedP2Go.transform.position = respawnPoint.position;
        }
        if (player == "p3")
        {
            p3clone.spawnedP3Go.transform.position = respawnPoint.position;
        }
        if (player == "p4")
        {
            p4clone.spawnedP4Go.transform.position = respawnPoint.position;
        }
    }```

this is the RespawnScript that has the function I want to call

[warm field]

switched to C and something is causing the stuff to spam

[hexed nymph]

Do I have to put "IEnumerator" instead of "void"? ??

[warm field]

finally i managed to get the camera stopping to work

uhh, why does my & open a call stack instead of typing &

[naive pawn]

if you want it to be a coroutine, sure, but that doesnt' really make sense
the thing calling it should be a coroutine instead, and it would yield return new WaitForSeconds(0.7f); before calling the respawn component

also, perhaps each player should be able to respawn separately instead of it being a central thing

[covert flower]

I've been stuck in an issue for an hour now with the
Transform.lookAt function.

It automatically adds 90 to y axis rotation and I have no clue why

I can showcase the script in a minute

[mystic glacier]

Hey

What's the best way to check if a player is grounded?

It should work even for mountain slopes

[rich adder]

varies from person to person. I would go with a cast, like ray,box etc.

[mystic glacier]

A raycast?

[rich adder]

thats a cast sure, it may be too thin but does the job

[polar acorn]

[tidal quest]

hey guys, its me again lmao. Im tryna make a button on the pause menu which respawns the player. The button is set to interactable but the function i want it to do doesnt show as an option. I also then tried coding the button and come across the same. i will attach code to the manual button and the respawn cs and also the proof that the function doesnt show on my options

[rich adder]

show code + inspector for the button

[tidal quest]

https://codeshare.io/5NPj1G

Button

https://codeshare.io/GAEvpG

Respawn code

[rich adder]

the function is private

why do you expect it to showup in the dropdown if its private

[tidal quest]

which sorry

[rich adder]

what kinda button is this , are you talking about the Button class?

show the inspector for the button requested

if you are trying to use MBsOnMouseUp that only works on colliders / physics

[rich adder]

ok. You should not name the function OnMouseUp cause its already a unity function
https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.0/Documentation/ScriptReference/MonoBehaviour.OnMouseUp.html

anyway regardless, its private so its not gonna show up in dropdown

[tidal quest]

i made it public it still isnt there

[rich adder]

show what you dragged in the slot

[tidal quest]

this?

im aware the bottom is unticked

[rich adder]

so did you do this.

[tidal quest]

yeh

miseplt it like a waldo too lmao

[rich adder]

if its public then it will show up. Also name the function something else to remove confusion with unitys MB

and Save.

[tidal quest]

it is public with new name and not showing up

and saved

[rich adder]

let me see what the dropdown shows

[tidal quest]

i cant take an ss of it it disspeaers can i use my phone?

[rich adder]

sure in this case..

[rich adder]

doesnt seem you dragged the script from the inspector but from the Project window..

[tidal quest]

i don't understand sorry, can you re-word?

[polar acorn]

You need to drag in an object with the script on it not the text file containing the code

Also, https://screenshot.help/

[tidal quest]

Love this?

[rich adder]

it was ok in this case cause it was closing their context menu

[tidal quest]

I can take an ss, but it's a system pop up and that's blocked to be screenshotted on my cpu

[rich adder]

there you go

now you dragged the gameobject / instance of the script

makes me question your "Yes" here #💻┃code-beginner message

[tidal quest]

I thought you were asking if I put the script in the box

[rich adder]

script is just a text file. The one on the gameobject is the actual Instance of that component (script)

[tidal quest]

i face another error now

upon clicking the button

[rich adder]

lovely how you cropped the error

[rich adder]

well take a look at this image carefully

the print works because it is before the line error

[tidal quest]

what have i done wrong?

it should run a function, that fucntion should respawn the player no?

aha i see

it wont let me put the player in that box to respawn them though now lmao

it will now, and now i have loads of errors

[rich adder]

well you might need to take the basics again then

Null Reference Exception is the most common thing you will be encountering and should learn how to debug / dissect it

Null reference means it tries to access something on a Null object

[tidal quest]

yeah

[rich adder]

ok so line 16 complains about Respawn.RespawnP();

how can you access RespawnP() if Respawn doesn't exist to be accessed

[tidal quest]

it does exist, that is a section of code

[rich adder]

no that just tells the computer you want to use template like a, Class of type Respawn

(this class / object has these specific functions you can use)

the computer has NO IDEA which ONE specifically you want to run those on

thats why we do Assignment

[tidal quest]

respawn is a section of code i access respawn to acces respawnP NO?

[rich adder]

respawn is class, a type and in this case a component (monobehavior)

the computer doesnt care about the textfile itsellf

You have to tell it which specific Respawn you want , aka an INSTANCE of an object

as mentioned earlier, an instance doesnt exist unless you create one. In Unity COMPONENTS are INSTANCES that get created when the script is put on the gameobject

[tidal quest]

ive done this

[rich adder]

but you didnt tell it which Respawn Component , the instance you want to use

[rich adder]

idk what exactly ur showing here. you linked it but your error says you didn't so you either using the wrong prefab or you have a copy

[tidal quest]

im unsure

[rich adder]

dont show the prefab, show the actual one thats in the scene

[tidal quest]

it send and recives

complain no object given

when i gave it one

i included the game screen to show i clicked the button

[vestal pilot]

i might be being stupid... im trying to rotate to make a text sign face the player, however i dont want it to tilt up and down. so im using the quaternion face command to get the right angle and i want to turn that into a euler angle to then clamp the downwards tilt out.
if there is a A face B command in euler that would solve the issue, or if i could convert the quaternion to euler angles? anyone got any ideas

[rich adder]

quaternions aren't euler angles

[slender nymph]

eulerAngles is a Vector3, but target is a Quaternion variable

[eager elm]

try Quaternion.EulerAngles()

[slender nymph]

it's not that you cannot convert to eulerAngles, it's that you cannot store a Vector3 value in a Quaternion variable

[vestal pilot]

yes

[vestal pilot]

oh im used to python with non explicit typing where u can just reuse variables like that lol

[rich adder]

its like trying to cram a cube into a circle hole

[polar loom]

working on a vr game menu idk whats wrong with the code https://paste.mod.gg/vvcagfgirgwh/0

[slender nymph]

welcome to strict typing where things actually matter and make sense

and not everything goes into the square hole

[polar loom]

do you want the errors it gives me or nah

[eager elm]

I assume public;ic is an error

[polar loom]

yea i look in my console and its says ; is an error

it tells me its expected twice and the other error is invalid token

[vestal pilot]

its better with explicit typing bcs it does actually like... make sense once ur used to it, and it means u dont do weird shit like
"**input **= (string)
**input **= list(**input **split into characters for each entry)" if ur messing around with text manipulation. perfectly fine in python

[naive pawn]

yeah python is an outlier in that

js has dynamic typing too and doesn't really do that
in fact most advice says to default to const in js, and avoid let if possible

[rich adder]

when data scientist make a language 🥵

[naive pawn]

i don't think lua really does that either, but i haven't done much lua yet.

[polar loom]

Thanks! It was that i didnt even see it lol

why are you using Monodevelo

its old af

[shadow rain]

yk how uv got the main aspect

whats the other aspect

[graceful onyx]

oh rlly

[shadow rain]

hright

[graceful onyx]

i just like how sublime looks

[shadow rain]

height

instead of camera.main.aspect

whats the height

[rich adder]

bruh please make your message 1 instead of a bunch of vertical

[shadow rain]

sry

ok so how do i reference the other aspect that isnt camera.main.aspect like the height

[rich adder]

which height are you talking about here ? the screen ? the frustum ?

[shadow rain]

screen

[rich adder]

you meanScreen.height?

[shadow rain]

how do i get the screen height

[slender nymph]

did you google it

[shadow rain]

yeah

i did

didnt help

[slender nymph]

then you didn't google it

[rich adder]

or you just skimmed the results

[shadow rain]

i did but whatever u say

[frosty hound]

You didn't, and please stop wasting time.

[shadow rain]

right i didnt search that

is there a channel for 3d modellers

but oh well

its not even 3d

its 2d

[frosty hound]

How did you not search the _literal question you used in discord _?

Even after saying you did. Again, waste less time. Thanks.

[shadow rain]

no but i wasnt thinking and said liek how to get the second aspect ratio or smth

[naive pawn]

the second aspect ratio.... what even

[shadow rain]

right guys

[naive pawn]

an aspect ratio is the ratio between the width and the height
cameras aren't 2.5d in unity

[shadow rain]

idk

[sour fulcrum]

Mr President the second aspect ratio has been searched

[shadow rain]

i wasnt thinking

was rushing

[naive pawn]

please think first

don't rush

[shadow rain]

yeah

[naive pawn]

we have all the time in the world

you'll just waste more time if you can't think straight or communicate clearly

[shadow rain]

right well im sry

[sudden quiver]

This is my movement script currently

How do i let that if statement at the end check if IsGrounded == False, cause currently it says that error

[slender nymph]

you need to get your !IDE configured 👇

[sudden quiver]

() where

[rich adder]

configure IDE it will show you where

[naive pawn]

also, stuff about the screen and stuff about the camera are different things
the code here is for world-space (unity units) width, but the height of a screen would usually be in screen space (pixels), as Screen.height gives

the height of the camera in world-space units is Camera#orthographicSize * 2.

[shadow rain]

yeah thanks

[mystic glacier]

I have a jump system and I have my jump animation's root transform position (Y) baked into pose. However when I jump, my character collider almost doesn't go above at all. It does, but it's very small. It's not aligned to the jump animation at all. What should I do to fix this case?
This is my player controller: https://pastes.dev/qqeukmOmF2

If I don't bake root transform position (Y) into the pose the capsule collider somehow works, but my falling animation plays twice.

[sudden quiver]

i set that up i think, but it didnt do anything?

i got the VS code plug in

and i went to the package manager and enabled it

[rich adder]

because Youre not actually jumping in the code, you're just using animation

[rich adder]

thats not the only step

there is more

[mystic glacier]

I'm applying force here, this is called in Jump animation's events

[slender nymph]

at no point do you actually call the JumpAddForce method

[slender nymph]

why is that in the animation event?

[mystic glacier]

Because that's where the character in the animation stops touching the ground

[sudden quiver]

well the guide thing says "You are now ready to start editing with Visual Studio Code"

[slender nymph]

read this entire page: https://unity.huh.how/ide-configuration/visual-studio-code

[rich adder]

did you put the actual correct animation clip that has this? and are you sure there arent transition skipping it?

[mystic glacier]

Do you mean the Jump animation?

[rich adder]

wahetevr clip has the animation event

[mystic glacier]

If so, yeah, also I can assure you that function is getting called, I have did a Debug

If I don't tick "Bake Into Pose" here (Jump animation), the capsule collider moves correctly as shown in the video, but Landing plays twice as you can see in the Animator tab

[slender nymph]

this all seems more like an #🏃┃animation issue rather than a code issue

[sudden quiver]

is this .NET SDK?

[rich adder]

do you have Root Motion enabled

[slender nymph]

ah of course, you already posted it there and decided you should crosspost

[mystic glacier]

It might be something in the code, that's why I wrote here, I also wrote there and got no response so I tried to see if it might be related to code

[slender nymph]

don't crosspost

[mystic glacier]

Mentioned why I did that in the message above

[mystic glacier]

I do

[rich adder]

no

[slender nymph]

no, that is an extension that can install the sdk. did you even fucking read the page i linked?

[rich adder]

https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download

[slender nymph]

crossposting is still against the rules

[rich adder]

actually the page has the link here https://unity.huh.how/ide-configuration/visual-studio-code#if-you-are-experiencing-issues

[sudden quiver]

I did. and i looked at vs code and it says i have a thing that Installs and manages SDK. its pretty fucking reasonable to assume that means i have it

[rich adder]

that overrides code movement iirc

as it uses transforms moving in animation to move it

[naive pawn]

it's not particularly reasonable to see "install tool" and assume that's the sdk

[mystic glacier]

If I disable it the character somehow teleports out the earth, it bugs out

[sudden quiver]

Thats reasonable to assume for me since i have never done this before

[naive pawn]

install tool is the thing that installs and manages sdk

[sudden quiver]

and i see a thing that says it Intalls SDK, thats fair to assuem i have installed SDK

[naive pawn]

sdk isn't an installer

[slender nymph]

i bet you didn't even bother looking at vs code's output tab which also likely gives a nice red icon when there's an error

[sudden quiver]

I DONT KNOW WHAT THAT IS?

I AM NEW TO THIS

[naive pawn]

that doesn't mean that thing itself is the sdk lol

[sudden quiver]

THIS IS THE BEGGINER CHAT

[rich adder]

well try removing the code/disbaling and narrowing down if the issue is the code

[slender nymph]

screenshot your entire vs code window

[sudden quiver]

As in my code? the extensions tab? what?

[slender nymph]

the entire vs code window

[naive pawn]

do you know what a window is

[rich adder]

the entire window mate they literally said it

[naive pawn]

on your pc

[rich adder]

this is like computer usage nothing to do with code

[sudden quiver]

yeah which fucking window

[rich adder]

VS CODE

[naive pawn]

the vscode window

[sudden quiver]

And vs code has different pages in it?

[naive pawn]

these are tabs, not windows. you said it yourself

[sudden quiver]

which page do you need a screenshot of

[rich adder]

no those are tabs

[slender nymph]

red means error

[naive pawn]

those are tabs

[rich adder]

window means what Windows defines as window, the entire frikken app

[sudden quiver]

well sorry im new to this and asking questions

you guys are hear to help, not here to be assholes to someone trying to learn

[rich adder]

mate we get you're new but there is a bit of brain work needed on your end

this is Game Development after all...something already complex in itself

[naive pawn]

ok so if you don't know something, ask instead of assuming

i do realize that's kinda hypocritical since you asked if the install tool was the sdk, but.. it's an install tool

[sudden quiver]

Install tool, that installs sdk. i was asking if that means i have the sdk

[slender nymph]

if a specific view within vs code was required then it would have been requested. learn to follow instructions and think for yourself.

[sudden quiver]

learn how to not be a dick, and when someone asks you to specify, just specify instead of repeating yourself

[naive pawn]

cool, that wasn't what you wrote, so we didn't know that that's what you meant. glad we could clear that up.

[slender nymph]

i did specify what i needed. i needed the entire vs code window because you clearly would not have known what i meant by the status bar. now go look at the output tab, install the .net sdk which you do not have, and fuck off

[sudden quiver]

dont tell me to fuck off when im just trying to learn

[naive pawn]

ok i have the .net whatever and its highlighting my code that has an error red

[rich adder]

show that

[sudden quiver]

does it say what the error is somewhere? or just that there is an error?

[rich adder]

ok good

now its configured

[naive pawn]

it should show the error message if you hover, and in the Problems tab

[sudden quiver]

which is where?

[naive pawn]

press ctrl+`, it should be beside the terminal tab

[sudden quiver]

this is just giving me the same error that unity gave?

[rich adder]

now this is a straight up c# issue.
using Method vs a methodgroup / delegate when you omit the ()

[naive pawn]

yes, but it's actually telling you directly in the source code
this lets a tool tell you where exactly the error is instead of us having to translate the error for you

granted we might still have to translate error messages if you're unfamiliar, but this should help simple mistakes

[slender nymph]

or use GetComponent on other if you need to get the instance that was collided with

[slender nymph]

i mean read your code and look at the available variables you have already declared

[narrow pulsar]

yeah

[slender nymph]

if you don't know what a variable is, then stop what you are doing and go through the beginner c# courses pinned in this channel

[rich adder]

private SomeScript someVariableForSaidScript
[AccessModifier] [Type] [AssignedVariable]

[narrow pulsar]

i do know what a variable is

[rich adder]

then its time to do c# beginner courses

[slender nymph]

great! then surely you've looked at the variables you actually have and use the one that exists, right?

[rich adder]

variable is where we can to store something that holds values etc.

[polar acorn]

If you want to call Shooting, you should call it on the variable that holds a reference to your PlayerProjectile object, not on the PlayerProjectile class itself

Yoooo I want to make a CineMachine camera with TargetGroup (2D) and I want that by script add a new target to the group using a prefab's transform but it doesn't work

[sudden quiver]

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

[hexed nymph]

void Start()
{
cam = GameObject.FindWithTag("Cinemachine");
        cam.GetComponent<CinemachineTargetGroup.Target>();

List<CinemachineTargetGroup.Target> targets = new List<CinemachineTargetGroup.Target>();
        targets.Add(new CinemachineTargetGroup.Target {trans, 0.8f, 1f});

{```

and it gives me this error:

Cannot initialize type 'CinemachineTargetGroup.Target' with a collection initializer because it does not implement 'System.Collections.IEnumerable'\

[rich adder]

why are you manually changing positions instead just using a rigidbody or character controller

[sudden quiver]

i was talking to someone last night and said i had rigid body movement but it felt super like floaty and bad and they reccomended i use Kinematic

[rich adder]

even if you used kinematic you're not moving the actual rigidbody

[sudden quiver]

wdym

[hexed nymph]

does anyone knows how to solve this??

[sudden quiver]

i found a youtube guide and it said this was kinematic, is it not?

[rich adder]

youtube guide was shit then

[sudden quiver]

Would character controller be better than kinematic?

[rich adder]

you have a public Rigidbody rb; and you're not even using it

[sudden quiver]

yeah that was from my previous code that i deleted

[rich adder]

its similiar to kinematic and easier to use sure

there is no "better" in terms of use. Some fit for certain cases and some dont

[sudden quiver]

well im wanting to make a fighting game so like movement is pretty important to feel snappy and good, what would you recommend?

[rich adder]

both can be coded to be "snappy"

its all about doing it correctly lol

there are also premade controllers that already solved certain issues like KCC etc.

[sudden quiver]

what does Kinematic like mean? i just know its a setting for rigidbodys

[sudden quiver]

kcc?

[rich adder]

kinematic meaning not affected by external forces

gravity included, they can't be pushed by a dynamic rigidbody etc.

[sudden quiver]

cause rigidbody uses unitys physics which is why it feels weird and floaty?

[rich adder]

somewhat

they are tuned to be close to realistic, games are not meant to be realistic so things need to be tuned

(Unity didnt make the physics)

[sudden quiver]

how would i make rigidbody not feel floaty?

or would it be better to just use character controller or kinematic

[rich adder]

idk what you mean "floaty"

increase gravity, give mroe force on jumps etc

[sudden quiver]

how do i increase gravity?

[rich adder]

mate these are questions for google im not a search engine

https://www.google.com/search?q=increase+gravity+unity

ez pz

[rich adder]

https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/physics/kinematic-character-controller-99131

[sudden quiver]

ah, my game is 2d though so i dont think that would work

well its not 2d

its 3d, but locked to 2d

[slender nymph]

not a code question. and that's just a gizmo, you can disable gizmos to hide them

[ionic osprey]

thanks

[slender nymph]

note that gizmos will also only ever be drawn in the editor as they are just for debugging purposes

[sudden quiver]

ty, i basically doubled gravity and it feels alot better

[tribal edge]

Grats!

[sudden quiver]

now i have a problem is i get stuck to walls when i like jump

[rich adder]

welcome to the most common thing that happens in unity

[sudden quiver]

how would i fix?

just remove friction from the walls or somethign?

[rich adder]

not on the walls

[sudden quiver]

remove the players friction?

[rich adder]

if you look "stuck in wall when moving rigidbody" you see plenty of different solutions

[sudden quiver]

ty

well its not stuck in wall

[rich adder]

the dirty quickfix is having no friction on player collider physics material

[sudden quiver]

its like if i jump and contiune to hold into the wall i get suspended

[sudden quiver]

well i only have 2 walls

oh wait i also want to disable airmovement anyways so maybe thatll fix

ill do that first

[rich adder]

putting on walls isnt very scalable in the long run

[sage crescent]

@sudden quiver You should get in the habit of googling your issue first and if you can't find any results or are still confused, ask for help.

Being able to google your issues is a skill in itself and a large part of any development

[sudden quiver]

wdym? my game will only ever have 2 walls so like it should be fine shouldnt it?

well me disabling airmovement worked fine for now, ill roll with this till i have more problems

[rich adder]

thats why its specific from project to project

if that doesnt change its one thing, but if ever did something extra to track

[polar acorn]

Why the curly braces

[hexed nymph]

Wym??

[polar dust]

I think the error is because youve got an incorrect type for the listList<CinemachineTargetGroup.Target>

https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.cinemachine@2.3/manual/CinemachineTargetGroup.html would be nice if the documentation for this was a bit more clear

[rich adder]

the compiler thinks that they are trying to create Target as a Collection rather than the struct it is

because they put { } instead of ( )
but even still doesn't seem the Target have constructor with 3 params anyway

[polar acorn]

On the line your error is. Why curly braces

[slender nymph]

it's a class not a struct, and they appear to be attempting to use object initializer syntax

[polar dust]

surely the curly braces is a secondary issue, Cannot initialize type 'CinemachineTargetGroup.Target' with a collection initializer to me sounds like the actual list hasnt initialised, meaning the incorrect .add with the curly braces isnt an error that the compiler has managed to reach yet

[slender nymph]

sounds like the actual list hasnt initialised
that is incorrect. it seems the compiler thinks they are using a collection initializer syntax rather than object initializer syntax, though they are mostly identical in appearance so idk why it would think that

unless this isn't even where the actual error is

i'm still not convinced they are using a configured IDE

[cinder wind]

Assets\FIrst Person\Scripts\InputManager.cs(7,25): error CS0426: The type name 'onFootActions' does not exist in the type 'PlayerInput'
i cant figure out this error im following a vid if anyone wants to have the link pls how to fix?

[polar acorn]

No, it's because they're trying to use a collection initializer syntax for something that isn't a collection. Like, how you would create a new list with things in it? That syntax only works if the thing is actually a list

[rich adder]

!ide

what?

[slender nymph]

just FYI https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/programming-guide/classes-and-structs/object-and-collection-initializers#object-initializers

[rich adder]

read the bot message

[polar acorn]

Configure your IDE so you get autocomplete and syntax highlighting

[slender nymph]

having a configured IDE is a requirement for receiving help here

[cinder wind]

i dont know what that stuff is

[polar acorn]

Yes, that works, if you specify a variable name and value. But new Thing {a, b, c} is a list initializer

new Thing() {foo=a, bar=b, baz=c} would work

[slender nymph]

right but you specifically pointed out the curly brackets instead of the missing field names

[polar acorn]

Because most likely they are copying from a tutorial and put the wrong character down and I'm trying to subtly hint to go take another look at that line

[slender nymph]

that class has no constructor so they aren't trying to use a constructor

https://github.com/Unity-Technologies/com.unity.cinemachine/blob/main/com.unity.cinemachine/Runtime/Behaviours/CinemachineTargetGroup.cs#L73

[polar dust]

visual studio is the IDE, you havent configured it, which makes it far harder to work

[rich adder]

holy hell that targetgroup thing is wild

not even a constructor for that with 3 vars ?

[polar acorn]

Boy they don't make anything convenient to set in code do they

[rich adder]

https://github.com/Unity-Technologies/com.unity.cinemachine/blob/5a505b2fbaf79a1bec6d2b36f4171b69eb76636f/com.unity.cinemachine/Runtime/Behaviours/CinemachineTargetGroup.cs#L249
hmm this creates the Target for you and adds it

[polar acorn]

If there's one problem with Cinemachine it's that they seem to be really averse to you doing things in code without the inspector

[slender nymph]

at least it is getting better, with cinemachine 3 they finally exposed the option for multiplying your input by deltaTime so you don't have to manually divide it by deltaTime or write your own input processor for it

[rocky canyon]

ya, i'll usually code my containers to do all the stuff i need and tracking and w/e.. cinemachine usuallly just sits at the lowest level of my hierachy..

^ speaking of...

anyone know how to contend w. this error.. lol all im changing is the FOV

extra clicks in resentment

[rich adder]

do you have the "Save During play" on ?

[rocky canyon]

in the component?

[rich adder]

cinemachine yea

[rocky canyon]

um let me check 👀

[rich adder]

iirc that was a thing on virtual camera

[slender nymph]

doesn't seem like an error, more of a confirmation that you do want to keep the settings you've manually changed while in play mode due to the Save During Play option enabled

[rocky canyon]

ohhh im an idiot

thank you nav

yup, box that was it

i didn't even notice that was a thing

is that a new thing with cm3.. ❔ .. i just dont remmber it

[rich adder]

its always been there

[slender nymph]

i don't think so, i think the confirmation might be new but i'm not super sure about that. i know the save during play attribute has existed for a while

[rich adder]

I guess 3.0 gives you that in editor warning

tbh I never left Save During Play on 2.0 to notice if it did or not

[rocky canyon]

yea, i dont recall.. tbh i upgraded cm3 without looking a whole lot at the new editor setups

i jsut figured out how to assemble the cams and stuff and went on my way lol

[rich adder]

I saw body Transposer and all this stuff got split into other components immediately panicked and switched back to 2.x
I couldnt find the usual things easy

[rocky canyon]

priorities and toggling cams transition like they used to, im sold

[rocky canyon]

rofl.. cmon now

red cinemachine cam scares me now

my project blows up

[rich adder]

I just need to check the docs again fro 2.x to 3.x transition, idk what happened to some components got renamed too

[slender nymph]

yeah at first glance cm 3 seems more complicated because everything has been split up more, but it's honestly a lot more intuitive now that things are actual components

[rich adder]

Yeah this is what it is, just at glance, once i read the docs again it will probably be better

iirc there is a video guide on Unity Talk in the past i need to revist

[rocky canyon]

Boom Cinemachine3 docs

[rich adder]

I think this one ya https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.cinemachine@3.0/manual/CinemachineUpgradeFrom2.html

[rocky canyon]

oh they got pre-docs

i check docs when i get stuck 😬

[rich adder]

I usually do but since those projects were old this sentiment hit home now especially lol ..

While it is possible to upgrade an existing project from CM 2.X, you should think carefully about whether you are willing to put in the work. It might be better in many cases just to stick with CM 2.X, which will continue to be supported for a while in parallel with CM 3.X. If you do choose to consider upgrading your project, this guide will give you some pointers to make the process smoother.

[polar dust]

https://youtu.be/h7gpymxdLrQ?t=68 what i havent managed to figure out is how you'd create a third person camera, with the newest version of cinemachine, where you can actually tilt the camera up and down via the vertical arm length

all its ever done for me is have the camera point directly to the arm length, and moves up and down with it, so the camera never actually tilts up and down

the actual target the camera points at has to be rotated for the third person camera to also rotate

i wanna work with other people but if i do im not gonna do anything cuz im new and i dont know 95% of the unity

i just wanna do test game. for the future

[rich adder]

so you want others to do the work for your benefit only ?

[distant plank]

i just wanna do test game. so i can learn

not serious game

to release or smth

i wanna learn from this mini games

[rich adder]

realistically no one is going to do that for you unless there is incentive to do so

if you want to learn then just learn

[distant plank]

noo. im saying that i dont want to.

thats the problem idk where to learn from

im gonna try to learn more

[rich adder]

well that has everything you need for the most part

code included

there are also more resources in the 📌

[distant plank]

yo i got 1 more question

how to i make my game look 2000s style . blury and choppy .

or is that just from textures

[slender nymph]

start by learning how to make a game first before choosing a specific art style

[distant plank]

ik how to make char map and that already

like basic things

textures and staff

[slender nymph]

way to ignore what was said

[distant plank]

🫥

[rich adder]

which 2000s is blurry and choppy ?

[sour fulcrum]

Little strong here

[rich adder]

2000s I think Ps2 / gamecube / xbox which looked really good

[distant plank]

like old tv style. like shrek game

or lunacid

or dread delusion

its not old but it has same style

[rich adder]

its just the quality of the texture that usually give it a certain look, and how the poly are stylized

people were also a lot creative back then because of hardware limitations

[distant plank]

i got old blocky textures and im gonna try to make something rn.

[distant plank]

yo how do i create water in my game

[rich adder]

not code question

[distant plank]

oh its code?

okay

[rich adder]

if ur making swim / buoyancy then yes code would be relevant

[slender nymph]

they meant not a code question because this is a code channel. but you should stop worrying so much about specific features of your game and start with learning the fundamentals as has been pointed out to you multiple times.

[distant plank]

nah js for looks. like big mountain with sea around . u cant go in water

[rich adder]

yea you're jumping way ahead w the looks before even learning the editor / baics

[distant plank]

ohhhhhhhh

then where the fk do i ask

[distant plank]

for now i wanna create map and than palyer codes

[hexed nymph]

the " targets.Add(new CinemachineTargetGroup.Target (trans, 0.8f, 1f)); " ???

I put it like that bcause I saw a website that did that too

[hexed nymph]

btw, here I corrected it

but now the error is:

CinemachineTargetGroup.Target' does not contain a constructor that takes 3 arguments

[slender nymph]

that's still incorrect. show the website you had copied the original code from because i'm 100% certain you missed some important stuff

[hexed nymph]

does anyone knows how to solve this?

[hexed nymph]

https://discussions.unity.com/t/control-targetgroup-via-script/686473/4
I copied the last response

[slender nymph]

yes, notice how that has extra stuff you didn't copy

when using object intializer sytax you need to include the field/property names

[polar dust]

wait, if Target isnt a struct, why have they written
targets.Add(new CinemachineTargetGroup.Target { target = theTransform[0], radius = 0.8f, weight = 1f });

instead of writing
targets.Add(new CinemachineTargetGroup.Target() { target = theTransform[0], radius = 0.8f, weight = 1f });

[slender nymph]

that's the same thing

[polar dust]

you can initiailise a new class without () ?

or construct, proper terminology eludes me 😆

[slate heath]

don't think so

[slender nymph]

if it has no constructor or a parameterless one, yes you can omit that when using object initializer syntax

[slate heath]

oh

idk havent learned C#

[polar dust]

i might have done that in a few occasions without ever realizing, instinctively, i think its something id always do (using () that is)

[slender nymph]

here is an example of both working. where the () is included when initializing a class that has no ctor and where it is excluded when initializing one that has a parameterless one
https://dotnetfiddle.net/aEerWM
it is not optional when the object only has parameterized ctors though

[polar dust]

i think what it is for me is that ive always associated () with a class, but structs i dont tend to use constructors in

seeing var y = new Test2 { x = 1}; my brain goes "thats a struct"

funny how pattern recognition works

[acoustic belfry]

Hi, i did this code for a parallax for each image of the background to move, but for an strange reason is jittery and flickering, why?

using UnityEngine;

public class NewMonoBehaviourScript : MonoBehaviour
{
    private float startPos, lenght;
    public GameObject cam;
    public float parallaxEffect;
    void Start()
    {
        startPos = transform.position.x;
        lenght = GetComponent<SpriteRenderer>().bounds.size.x;
    }

    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update()
    {
        float distance = cam.transform.position.x * parallaxEffect;
        float movement = cam.transform.position.x * (1 - parallaxEffect);
        transform.position = new Vector3(startPos + distance, transform.position.y, transform.position.z);
        
        if (movement > startPos + lenght)
        {
            startPos += lenght;
        }
        else if (movement < startPos + lenght)
        {
            startPos -= lenght;
        }
    }
}```

[timber tide]

Is this script what the background/parallax image is on?

I'd start debugging the values to make sure they aren't erratic first off, and if the values seem fine then try sticking it in late update perhaps

[slender nymph]

yeah this could be an issue of the object updating before the camera does, and since it relies on the camera's position it may appear jittery as it is updating a frame too late to be correctly in line with the camera's updates

[timber tide]

usually I see this stuff with lerp too so the cut between directions isn't too instant which helps bring down some of the jerkyness

[slender nymph]

yeah could smoothdamp or lerp the position so it doesn't appear jittery

[acoustic belfry]

oh, but how do i do so?

[slender nymph]

by either using Vector3.Lerp or Vector3.SmoothDamp

[acoustic belfry]

it says Vector3 doesnt have a type called Lerp or SmoothDamp

[slender nymph]

what is the exact error message

[acoustic belfry]

what i said, without the or
"the name of type "Lerp" doesnt exist in the type "Vector3"

[slender nymph]

they are methods, not types. you do not new them

[acoustic belfry]

huh?

[slender nymph]

look at the documentation, there are examples

[acoustic belfry]

i discovered that the
else if (movement < startPos + lenght) was actually
else if (movement < startPos - lenght)
and the jittery leave, but now i have another issue, the screen doesnt reset propely, i mean, when i get out of bounds it should reset due it being infinite, but instead the background glitches

why

[slender nymph]

well you have an error you have hidden, have you confirmed it isn't related to that

[acoustic belfry]

i dont even know what they mean

[rich adder]

editor bugging out

[acoustic belfry]

i dont know what i did, but it got fixed

oh

[polar dust]

id take a look at the channel, i wonder if somebody could be able to post using your bot

[prime cobalt]

I've got a basic script for picking up and moving objects that I mostly got through a tutorial but I want the object to turn to face the camera when they're first picked up while still doing it via rigidbody to make it get blocked if there's something in the way.
TLDR; is there a way to make a rigidbody quicky spin to match a rotation without overshooting that rotation?

[slender nymph]

MoveRotation

[polar dust]

i dont know api stuff too well, but i know that i shouldnt be able to know the name of the channel your bot has access too 😆

[earnest wind]

make a new api key / webhook

[slender nymph]

although this is really meant for kinematic bodies which aren't stopped by other objects

[prime cobalt]

Is MoveRotation worldspace or localspace?

[slender nymph]

world, just like pretty much everything else on the rigidbody

[prime cobalt]

For some reason it isn't working. It'll just not rotate it unless I just don't move my mouse or anything around for like a 5-10 seconds (sometimes longer) then it snaps into place.

[timber tide]

where the logs at

[jolly mist]

I'm finding some conflicting info on AddForce, I thought with ForceMode.Force and ForceMode.Acceleration you did need to use fixedDeltaTime but I just read a couple of forum posts saying that AddForce already handles that.
Is this true?

[slender nymph]

you should not be multiplying your forces by deltaTime, all physics should be handled in FixedUpdate which is already on a fixed timestep and those forcemodes mentioned do include time in them as well

[still linden]

Hello where i ask my question on unity ?

[slender nymph]

#🔎┃find-a-channel

and don't crosspost

[prime cobalt]

Ah nvm I think the kinematic thing kinda makes it not work.
Is there a way to make the object ONLY rotate with torque? Because with torque I can't freeze it, but also without being frozen it justs spinning all over the place.

[slender nymph]

i have no idea what you are asking with that last bit because it doesn't make a whole lot of sense

[prime cobalt]

If the rotation is frozen I can't rotate things using torque, but if there's no torque if it gets impacted in the right way it just starts spinning around in the air.

[slender nymph]

why are you trying to rotate using torque if you want it to attempt to rotate to a specific rotation?

or do you plan to calculate the exact amount of torque needed to do that factoring in things like drag/friction?

[prime cobalt]

I want it to get blocked if there's anything in the way. So if like reaching the desired rotation would cause it to clip through the floor/walls/other props it gets blocked.

And just using rotation causes it to clip into stuff

[slender nymph]

well yes, just assigning the rotation does not move it in a way that would respect other colliders

[prime cobalt]

Oh well I gave up and used and it works. I'll just try and figure out everything it did to learn.

Well you usually shouldnt be iterating over a dictionary but in a list you can either do it in reverse, or store which elements to remove then do it after iterating

Reverse for loop is the common way

[acoustic sequoia]

the problem is my dictionary has random keys so i can't use an incrimentor to get the values...
storing the keys during itteration adn then removing them after will work for me..

but you said i shouldnt be itterating over a dictionary? how should i do it if i need to store a gameobject along with a key to keep track of it?

[eternal needle]

Dictionaries arent ordered, I mean you can definitely iterate through it but it's just odd to do if you arent using it purely for what a dictionary is.
A list with a class containing the object and key should be fine

I don't know what the random keys or "incrimentor" really mean here or why this stops you from using a list

[acoustic sequoia]

i have alot of items that are stored by Vector2Int locations. i use this dictionary to see if one already exists in that location already to prevent duplicating items in my game. however, i am trying to also check to see if that gameobject has existed for a period of time and if it has, i want to delete it and make it a new possible location for a new gameobject to be instantiated at the users will. whats a better soluton ?

[wintry quarry]

Put the locations in a SortedList by their insertion time. use that to quicklly find the oldest one(s)

[acoustic sequoia]

here is an example of my code that creates the plant and stores it's location.

            var offset = new Vector2(0.5f, 0.5f);
            if(_plants.ContainsKey(position)) return; 
            PlantObject plant = Instantiate(plantPrefab, position + offset, Quaternion.identity, transform);
            plant.SetCount(0);
            _plants.Add(position, plant);
        }```

[eternal needle]

I guess a dictionary in this wouldnt be bad. Maybe the plant itself could keep track of that time and suddenly you dont need to iterate

[acoustic sequoia]

the plant does keep track of the time.. should each plant have their own update method to find out when it dies naturally (dying is controlled by a decay timer)?

[eternal needle]

Either way works, if the plant already uses update for something else then theres no downside

The only thing is youd need some event or the plant would have to store a reference to the code that holds the dictionary, to do whatever logic you want

[prisma quail]

    private Vector3 StartHeadBob()
    {
        Vector3 pos = Vector3.zero;
        pos.y += Mathf.Lerp(pos.y, Mathf.Sin(Time.time * Frequency) * Amount * 1.4f, Smooth * Time.deltaTime);
        pos.x += Mathf.Lerp(pos.x, Mathf.Sin(Time.time * Frequency / 2f) * Amount * 1.6f, Smooth * Time.deltaTime);
        playerCam.localPosition += pos;

        return pos;
    }

How would I make the bob relative to where the player is facing? So when I turn to the side it bobs side to side instead of forward and backward, because it isn't relative to the player with this

[wintry quarry]

We can't really know iwthout understanding your hierarchy

if playerCam is a child object of your player, this would make it relative to the player.

sort of at least.

Your math here in general is pretty weird and flawed

Like - you're starting with Vector3.0 every frame...
Then you're doling a Lerp towards some Sin wave, with deltaTime as T, which is not a correct lerp in many, many ways.

Then you're adding that to the cam's localPosition. It's just really odd and not going to result in an actual consistent sine wave if you're looking for a sine wave.

[prisma quail]

how would I fix the Vector 3.0 and the sin wave? Sorry I'm really new to all this

[wintry quarry]

get rid of the Lerp part entirely, it makes no sense here. You would just assign the localPosition directly to the result of the sin calculation. not add it

Also you didn't really answer about how the hierarchy is set up

[prisma quail]

This is the main part of the hierarchy, I use void update to set the camera position to the CameraPos under player, because I was following a tutorial

If you cant tell I'm really new to Unity

[wintry quarry]

Ok... and the code you shared isreferring to which object as playerCam?

It seems like the player camera is not a child of the player so yeah sedtting its local position isn't going to be a local position inside the PLayer's coordinate space.

in that case you should be setting hte position based on the player's Transform.

using. e.g. Transform.TransformPoint to get a world position relative to the player.

i.e. playerCam.position = playerTransform.TransformPoint(pos); that kind of thing - treating pos like a local position in the player object

[cinder hatch]

how do i make a basic interaction system?

aka press f and do something to an object in front of player

[wintry quarry]

with raycasts

and either an interface or a single component that reports being interacted with through events

[cinder hatch]

what would such an interface look like and how would i use it with the raycast?

[wintry quarry]

just an Interact or Use function

you would have the raycaster call that function when you press the button

[cinder hatch]

ok

i'll see what i can cook up

thanks

[ruby sparrow]

this is what happens when I do git status on a project that I cloned from my friend's repo (and I didn't edit anything yet other than open the project), is this normal? or something wrong with the .gitignore or whatever

just lots of deletions

of what looks like temp files

[eternal needle]

library files should be ignored
https://github.com/github/gitignore/blob/main/Unity.gitignore

i forgot exactly how this part works but you might still have to delete them since they're currently tracked

[ruby sparrow]

this is in the gitignore, so I think it should be ignoring them

alright, I'll just commit the delete and see if it comes back

[slender nymph]

the Library folder is automatically generated by unity so it will be regenerated the next time you launch the editor which is part of why it should be ignored, the other reason is that the library folder gets huge

[eternal needle]

whoever set this up, did they add the git ignore after their initial commit? once a file is tracked, its in the repo. I think you might want to use the git rm command

rarely ever needed to do this myself so im unsure if theres a difference between pushing that commit and using the command

[polar acorn]

This looks like you set up the git repo in the parent folder, so instead of being at Library and being excluded, it's at SyntyJam2025/Library which is not excluded

[ruby sparrow]

oh you might be right I'll let him know

[pure hollow]

Guys quick question if possible, im working on a unity project with given instructions, and in them it says to create an abstract method called "PerformAction" in the parent class Character, which will be inherithed by Player and Enemy, homever the instructions say that it should be implemented in Player to Attack and Interact and in Enemy to damage the player(not the attack action), and my question is, wouldnt it be easier to just add individual methods for Player and Enemy instead of a generic one? Also, can an abstract method can be implemented multiple times in a child class?

[hexed terrace]

the point of an abstract method, is to allow different classes to perform different code within the method and for any classes calling that class.method to not care about what happens. If you do two indvidiual methods for player/ enemy, then whatever is calling PerfromAction() now needs to know what it's talking to and to call the correct method when it doesn't need to

You cannot have more than one method with the same name and parameters

[grand snow]

To clarify, abstract functions work the same as virtual ones but MUST be implemented by child classes.
Virtual ones can optionally be overwritten.

[analog otter]

What even is a method? I just installed unity yesterday 😭😭

[noble sage]

As Carwash pointed out it let's you write loosely coupled code.

You can Google "Polymorphism" for more info

[noble sage]

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/shows/csharp-fundamentals-for-absolute-beginners/

[analog otter]

C# is unity?

Am not trying to argue. Just curious

[noble sage]

Unity is a game engine and C# is the programming language it uses

[noble sage]

Don't worry. Asking question is a channel for asking questions is very okay

[analog otter]

Oh so I need to learn how to write c# first, then I learn how to make my first game right?

[noble sage]

Unity has free courses to teach both at the same time on learn.unity.com

Personally, I think it's easier to learn them separately.

https://learn.unity.com/

[analog otter]

Are you a professional?

Pls be my guidan. I want to be a game maker.

[noble sage]

Take the courses unless you have a couple thousand to drop on hiring me

[analog otter]

Wish I had

I'll take curses then.

I'll learn c# from the link you gave. Then I learn unity.

[burnt vapor]

I suggest you learn C# without Unity being part of it at all.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/
Learning C# with Unity means you learn two things at once, which is just going to confuse you. Not to mention C# in Unity is VERY different syntax wise and it will require you to understand that while some things are possible, you should not use them.

[analog otter]

I'll take your advice then. Thanks.

[gentle bone]

if you wanna learn the c# basics you should try this course from datacamp inclusive certificate just for fun... https://www.freecodecamp.org/learn/foundational-c-sharp-with-microsoft/

[shadow rain]

is there anyway to download my unity game onto my iphone for free without using xcode or renting any mac replictors or smth

[grand snow]

No cus apple.
You need xcode to actually build the game so if you dont have access to you one you need to use a third party service or unity cloud builds.

Android builds don't have this problem, can be build fully on mac or win or linux (i think?) and installed on any phone

[shadow rain]

ok

thanks

[zenith aspen]

i probably copied it wrong but i kept checking over and couldn’t find what im missing, unless im being stupid but i don’t think it is the video albeit it isn’t the best tutorial. When im on my pc ill screenshot it all and show you but this is my first actual project and first time coding

[uneven summit]

Hey guys, im looking into modding Schedule I. So far i've been able to decompile the game but the methods dont have anything in their bodies. Anyone have good resources I can look at?

[uneven summit]

Oops mbad then

[odd widget]

Hello. Right now i’m making an rpg game. Let’s say if i want to implement a passive skill system to the game, what would be the best way to do it? Especially if let’s say there’s a lot of different passive skill and each of them have different effect (reduce damage, lifesteal, atk up, etc). I’m not asking about the exact code, but more like, the logic of doing it. Should each passive have their own script and callable function? Or should i make it so that everytime i get damaged, i check if the skill exist, or what? Keep in mind the plan is that there will be a lot of passive

I’m not posting any code because rn I’m prioritizing on learning the general logic behind it first (and mostly because i don’t know how to approach it, i don’t know where to start so i don’t have any code)

[teal viper]

Both approaches are viable and can even be used together. It depends on your project needs and on the specific passive skill mechanic.

[odd widget]

The way the passive works in this project is like the player itself are able switch around the passive, so the triggers changes a lot. Hmm, what if i make an array of every triggers (on hit, on attack, etc) and everytime the player changes the passive, the list of passive inside the array changes. So everytime there’s a trigger it will check it’s corresponding array and trigger the passive inside them

Would that logic work

Thinking about this gave me headache lol

[floral wren]

The easiest, and probably the most robust way, would be to create a script per passive if you intent to have a lot of variety.

[odd widget]

Hmm, how would i check for the trigger

If passive in player.passive_list and stuff_trigger then do x?

[floral wren]

You would simply have a "Initialize" and "Dispose" function that would handle registering to the appropriate system.

Some of your passive might want to have an "Update" function as well.

[odd widget]

Augh

Okay, i’ll try stuff first

Thanks guys

[teal viper]

You need to take some pen and paper and make a draft of your system design.

Of how you want it to work. When and how to apply bonuses. Should they modify the stats? Or just provide multipliers and added bonuses? Should you have separate lists for different types? Or iterate all the passives when looking for certain types? Etc, etc...

[odd widget]

Ugh yea, doing everything in head gives me migraine. If i do come back and show you guys, pinky promise not to laugh at my diagram. I have no experience in professional coding, only self taught

[teal viper]

We don't laugh. But we can send you to do some basics learning.

[odd widget]

i figured it out after 15 second of drawing

i'll just write the logic that i use so if anyone search maybe it'll help someone. There's a lot of passive in my game, and a many triggers too, but the player can only equip like 6 passive skill. So i figured out maybe it's okay to just send the type of trigger (and the values) to the equipped passive everytime any trigger triggers and let the function inside the passive script check the trigger, and if it pass the check it'll do the effect

if the passive is a stat boost or anything simple, just modify stat on battle begins maybe

idk why i overcomplicate stuff. thanks guys

[zenith aspen]

i followed atutorial on how to make a tree grow and it does it in stages but when it reaches its final stage it deletes itself can somebody help? im very new to game dev

https://youtu.be/aG_HMFWPDaM?si=Nwcs_FV7YMd0vcw8

ill post code now

[cosmic quail]

you forgot a few lines in the CheckPlant method

[zenith aspen]

if you go to 7:30 in the video he deletes the part i think your talking about

[cosmic quail]

oh you're right

[zenith aspen]

yeah so idk what ive done wrong and i cant figure it out but i think its got something to do with the unregister plant stuff

[cosmic quail]

are you getting any errors in the console when ur plant disappears?

[zenith aspen]

yes

[cosmic quail]

should have started with showing those then 😄

[sharp bloom]

Why does this grid look so off?

[zenith aspen]

i forgot about it my bad lol, ill send it now

[rocky canyon]

because it is

are u using ur own hexagon tile image?

[sharp bloom]

I don't fully understand this component

[sharp bloom]

It's the one from default 2d assets

[rocky canyon]

im not that great at swizzle but i can try to help

[rocky canyon]

just checking that first..

sometimes u try to use ur own and u dont always get the perfect dimensions the first time

[sharp bloom]

I can scale it in the x-axis by 20% to make it fit together

I have no idea why 1,1,1 scale looks so bad

[rocky canyon]

show ur tile

[sharp bloom]

I mean just this

[rocky canyon]

its a gameobject right?

yea that

ur scale of that needs to be 1

why is the X 1.2?

[sharp bloom]

Then it looks like this

[rocky canyon]

ohh so thats the scaling doing that

[sharp bloom]

With 1 scale it doesn't fit

[rocky canyon]

ahh gotcha

ive never used the grid component ive always made my own manager style script

[sharp bloom]

Yea no-one uses it

I just figured I might try it

[cosmic quail]

can you show the scriptable object?

[zenith aspen]

like this??

[rocky canyon]

can you you show the entire hierarchy with the grid gameobject selected?

[cosmic quail]

i think i found the problem? try replacing "currentStage" with "currentStage - 1" on line 25

[zenith aspen]

okay ill try now

[sharp bloom]

Well there's nothing else xd

Just setting that cell-x size to a random value like 0.87 seems to work

I have absolutely no idea what's the math behind that

doesnt seem right.. hang on im building a mock one real quick

[grand snow]

I did my own hexagon grid cus the offset did not match what i wanted ✊

The exact value is 0.8659766

    }
}

im trying to access this gameobject when in ddol from the PauseManager

[sharp bloom]

Don't use GameObject.Find

It's inefficient

[grand snow]

Its public already so already assignable in inspector 🤦‍♂️

[sharp bloom]

Oh that too

Yeah just remove this
setting = GameObject.Find("Optionss");

You can drag and drop the gameobject to your PauseMenu script in the inspector

[lone hamlet]

i cant tho because its in another scene? sorry im new to unity, cramming this for a school project

[sharp bloom]

I think you need a singleton pattern in that case?

[lone hamlet]

im gonna go look that up

[sharp bloom]

Basically it's something like this

Then you can access the singleton class from anywhere using class.Instance

[rocky canyon]

its just hexagon grid bullcrap

u have to take into account the staggered rows in order to have correct spacing

[lone hamlet]

i don't quite get how to implement this

[grand snow]

it presumes you have a custom monobehaviour to add this code to. I presume your UI has a monobehaviour to do stuff right?

[lone hamlet]

yeah i have a monobehaviour to do stuff are u refering to the one in scene 1 where the object is instantiated or scene 2?, cause i have different ui that calls the object in both scenes

[grand snow]

We mean your "options" gameobject as that is the one you are using Find() to get.
Ideally you would do something like OptionsUI.instance.SetPauseMenuVisible(true);

[rocky canyon]

@sharp bloom the best i can figure out is to use a vector2 for ur spacing calculations

so u can fine tune the X and Y

[lone hamlet]

it doesnt have a monobehaviour script cause its just volume sliders in there should i create one

[grand snow]

Up to you but however you do it, to use the static reference you need a monobehaviour on that UI to then control the pause menu

[rocky canyon]

seems to do the trick

[lone hamlet]

i made a monobehaviour on the settings menu and pasted a singleton script i found online

[sharp bloom]

Yeah that works too

[rocky canyon]

hexagonal tessellation be a pita

i ended up scaling my tile too

made it match the square unity sprite so i could use 1 as my base number

now to make 3d Orthographical grids since im this far 😈

[lone hamlet]

I figured it out and got it working thanks !

Can someone tell me why GameObject Instance = InvSlot[0]; this part is not working im trying to make a varible that contains the first gameobject of this array

[wintry quarry]

You're going to have to be more specific about "is not working"

what's going wrong with it

My guess would be that this line is actually the one with the error:

Instantiate(InvSlot, transform.position, transform.rotation);```

If InvSlot is an array that makes no sense

Make sure you carefully read your error messages

they will tell you exactly what line the problem is on

[queen adder]

it says cannot apply indexing[] to an expression type

[wintry quarry]

Then InvSlot is not an array at all

so that would be your problem

[queen adder]

it is

I've never seen this before

[slender nymph]

unless you've written some editor code, that isn't related to your code. it's an editor error

[elder osprey]

If I want to do rotations in my game, should I try to understand quaternions, or should I continue to convert them to euler and back?

[slender nymph]

with all of the helper functions, there's really no need to actually understand how quaternions work. you can just work with the euler angles you are already familiar

[sharp bloom]

I would say don't try to understand the math behind them, just understand the concept of gimbal lock when you doing some conversion

[west sonnet]

I have multiple NPC's that use the same script. A script on one NPC is affecting all the other enemies. How can I prevent this?

For example, I have a script so that once you interact with an NPC, you can't interact with them again. Problem is, if I interact with 1 NPC, I can't interact with any anymore

[cosmic quail]

are you using static variables or something

[wintry quarry]

It's impossible for us to say without seeing your code. There are several ways that could happen

Most likely stemming from you not understanding something fundamental about variables or scripts

ok and where's the variable or whatever that's supposed to track if the NPC has been interacted with already?

And what code is checking it?

HasPickedUpBefore?

Which object is this script attached to?

[west sonnet]

Yeah

[west sonnet]

The NPC

HasPickedUpBefore so that you can't pick up the same NPC again, but you should be able to pick up other NPC's

[wintry quarry]

Do you have any errors in your console? It looks like this script requires you to have set a reference to the player object directly in the inspector beforehand

Has that been done for every NPC in the scene? Also are there NPCs that are spawned in and not in the scene at the start?

[west sonnet]

Every NPC that has this script and no, all of them there from the start

[west sonnet]

No

[wintry quarry]

you should start debugging your code

add Debug.Log statements in the places where you expect code to run. Like in OnTriggerEnter2D before the if statement. And make sure the data is as you expect at that point.

henlo

can someone help me with a pause code?

ya see, when i press up, the character jumps with a impulse, pretty simple

but when the game is paused, if i mash up key, the character launches to the air when i unpause

it stacks the impulse

code is like this

[wintry quarry]

Well for one that implies you are running the jump code in Update

which is a bad idea for several reasons

but if you MUST do it

then you should make sure the game is not paused before you run that code.

[barren wing]

why is it bad?

[wintry quarry]

physics stuff belongs in FixedUpdate

in general

[barren wing]

great part of the code belongs to the update 💀

[wintry quarry]

this problem is one reason why

[wintry quarry]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[barren wing]

i get it

aaa, thats why the left and right key is in the update

i get it now

[wintry quarry]

your options are:

• move the AddForce to FixedUpdate
• Check if the game is paused before runing any of this code

FixedUpdate will not run at all when you have set time scale to 0

@wintry quarry question

does the FixedUpdate have a problem with the GetKeyDown?

[wintry quarry]

yes

handle the input in Update

[barren wing]

because the character jumps... weird
