By disk usage I mean reading/writing operations. Not the storage capacity.

cloud walrus
#

I see

#

thx for this btw i'll consider using any third-party tool to try detecting the causing of this issue

teal viper
#

What third party tool?
There's nothing to detect here.
Just close programs that you don't actively use, shut down processes, google guides on minimizing windows memory usage, on how to disable edge processes, etc...

#

As for disk usage, you can see that in task manager as well. Just sort by the "disk" column.

might even able switching to VS code by then

#

btw going back to this one no the script isn't attached perhaps it could be what's causing the error

#

oh okay thanks

#

so do u recommend using 2022 or latest version of unity?

cloud walrus
#

Definitely the latest version of unity Unity 6

teal viper
rapid thunder
#

and 1 last question i know myself im not a coding guy if i need any help of coding something different can chatgpt do that? (dont have a friend who is coding too btw dont judge using ai please im just a guy who wants to learn) lol

cloud walrus
#

i utterly can't stress it enough, if you're starting out to learn programming don't use ai at all (maybe there are exceptions but if you do want to learn it seriously then no don't use ai) besides

#

what i recommend you to do instead

teal viper
cloud walrus
# cloud walrus what i recommend you to do instead

don't start to learn programming in unity that would be messed up, instead take a programming (CS50x is a great choice they have their own server on discord and offer a much better ai) after that you could go to learn unity/C#

for videos on unity page you have to activate settings in the cookies / advertising tab there...

#

dont know where you can find it .. but when you have the tab/popup on the bottom click on the settings part...

hey guys im trying to make a shape change color once it gets hit twice, does anyone have a tutorial for that?

gentle bone
#

ah i found it.. when you dont have the bottom popup theres a icon on the right bottom...

#

so far i know for videos to work you need the functional cookies active..

polar acorn
rapid thunder
tribal fulcrum
#

i have it so once it gets hit it changes green

#

but i want the condition to be that it changes green only when its been hit twice

polar acorn
#

So, instead of changing it to green, add one to a variable

#

and if that variable is two, then change it

tribal fulcrum
#

ohh good idea

My Friends would like to test out what I have so far, how do I send them a Build for them to try out?

slender nymph
#
  1. not a code question
  2. build the game and give them the resulting build files
grand snow
#

#archived-shaders tis the place probably. Colour tinting will affect the whole model on default shaders.

rapid thunder
# gentle bone should work for the whole .unity domain

found the solution so if that happens "explaining so you can explain to others btw" when it happens you have to download "Allow Control allow origin" from web store then activate it and reload the page then its working fine

#

no

#

just ask in the correct channel and many people can then help...

why is the book not falling even though i add rigid body to it?

mystic anvil
#

When I place a tower I can no longer place another one on top because it registers as an occupied position. But when I am adding all the objects in the game to the occupied position so that I can't build on top of them I can still build on top of those objects. (It is detections 309 objects)

not in 100 years would i have looked at that checkmark lol

yeah took me a few takes to see it, its not normal you add physics to something static lol

good catch nav eagle eyes

rich adder
#

mass of 10 for a book seems a lot lol. 20lbs book
Btw mass doesn't affect falling speed, idk if thats what you were trying to do..

ruby sparrow
#

how can I make it so that any button click in the game plays a click sfx?

rich adder
#

buttons is vague term

ruby sparrow
rich adder
#

Link an AudioSource with the OnClick or use code

ruby sparrow
rich adder
ruby sparrow
#

what if I have a script that find all buttons in the scene and adds a listener that plays the audio source 🤔

rich adder
#

sure you can do that

frail hawk
#

just use a singleton with one audiosource and a bunch of Audioclips, (maybe a list of audioclips)

rich adder
#

maybe do

void OnEnable(){
        for (int i = 0; i < myButtons.Length; i++)
        {
            myButtons[i].onClick.AddListener(PlaySoundMethod);
        }
    }
    private void PlaySoundMethod(){
        SoundManager.Instance.PlayMySound();
    }```
frail hawk
#

straight forward

rich adder
#

you could also register a static event probably

#

For unity how do 2d character models work?

#

Can I just import them from my iPad on my computer

naive pawn
#

that's a pretty broad question
what files do you have?

rich adder
#

if they are supported format sure?

green copper
#

Can anyone reccomend a good tool for planning code flow and/or data relationship diagrams as flowcharts? MSWord's tools are fighting me to the point I'm considering thumbtacks, string, and a corkboard as an alternative

#

Right now it’s a blank project that I’m trying to get started

#

I mainly wanna know if I can just import images of the characters on to my computer then just use those images on unity

if they're supported formats then yes

Guys i need some help, i'm gonna go crazy.

So i have a list for a float, i have 2 element on my list, no more no less. What i want to do is add 5 to the first element so i do "itemTotal[0] = 5;" Which work cause it the first element in the list, then i wana try with the second one to make it equal to 3 so i do "ItemTotal[1] = 3;" And it tell me it's out of range, EVEN THO BOTH OF THEM ARE INITIALIZED, WHAT'S WRONG

slender nymph
#

have you actually confirmed that the list has a length of 2?

magic crown
#

yes

slender nymph
#

how

magic crown
#

and for some reason when i do it unity decide that why not delete it

magic crown
slender nymph
#

show the inspector and the code

magic crown
#

No forget about it i'm the bigest dumbass ever

#

XDDDD

#

so i'm gonna explain what wrong

#

i have a foreach loop and the problem is i was asking to apply the value to the other one before they were even initialized

#

i wana die ;w;

Hi! I was looking to follow unities https://learn.unity.com/project/prototyping-a-procedural-animated-boss?utm_source=YouTube&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=evangelism_global_generalpromo_2021-02-17_prototype-series-procedural-walker-learn but the file link is broken.

I tried doing some of it on my own but I'm unsure how to get the cinemachine dolly to work.

Unity Learn
Prototyping Procedural Animation (Boss & Walker) - Unity Learn

In this episode of the Unity Prototyping series, the Unity Technical Marketing team, created a prototype that showcases the implementation of two enemies with procedural animation using the new Supernova art pack! You can download the prototype project in the Tutorial Materials tab!

#

Is there a location I can contact a mod/admin to get the link fixed, or possibly get some advice on how to go about handling the cinemachine? atm, it seems to cause my rig to split a little unnaturally

red igloo
#

I have this issue where when you move in a direction and jump and you let go of wasd the player will immedietly stop moving which I dont want . What I want is when I jump and move forward and let go the player will move in that direction. I'm very confused on how to implement it.

rich adder
#

you need some deceleration logic coded in manually

#

you're immediately stopping velocity by setting it to 0 right away without inputs

#

the same way you make "gravityVel" you need also motion velocity you track, slow / speed up

sharp bloom
#

Is there a way to "select" several gameobjects, store them inside a list and retain the ability to adjust them directly?

#

I mean like being able to loop through that list and disabling each one, etc.

#

I tried creating a public list, dragging the gameobjects from inspector into there, but it seems that doesn't work for what I'm trying to do

night mural
sharp bloom
#

Seems they no longer reference the actual gameobject in the scene

#

I don't know whetever I have to instantiate them through the script in order to do stuff with them

rich adder

#

I'm confused why I get all these errors after I save my files while the game is running?

rich adder
#

maybe make a video of issue?

sharp bloom

Like so, and I want to control how many of these fish objects are activated at a given time

rich adder
rich adder
# sharp bloom

when you find yourself numbering variables like this is best to always use a collection

sharp bloom
rich adder
#

in what way doesn't work ?

#

it should work fine

#
  1. how are you sure the function is running
  2. are you checking the correct objects
sharp bloom
#

Must have hit it by accident

sharp bloom
#

It was being automatically disabled every time I hit play

rich adder
#

that means you might have a Null Ref in Awake

sharp bloom
#

Yes I figured, I put everything to Start and it works for now

true owl
polar acorn
true owl
#

my issue is it's weird though because it works when I run it normally but if I save my code and rerun while it's running

#

that's when the issue happens

polar acorn
#

Yeah so don't do that

#

That doesn't work

true owl
#

wym isn't that a normal feature?

polar acorn
#

Absolutely not

true owl
#

oh

polar acorn
#

It's never worked

edgy tangle
#

No. It needs to recompile

true owl
#

I see

#

okay got it

polar acorn
#

They've tried to add options for it and it sometimes works but only if you're changing POCO objects that don't touch any Unity code

#

but if you do anything that's a behavior or scriptable object the entire thing just instantly dies

true owl
#

okay appreciate it thank you everyone

#

also does LayerMask.GetMask() do a OR or an AND of the layers inside of it

LayerMask.GetMask(ScStrings.GROUND, ScStrings.RAIL, ScStrings.WALL) I want this to mean that if it's a GROUND or RAIL or WALL

#

but i'm not sur

#

sure

rich adder
true owl
#

wym

#

what is that, rather

rich adder
#

do you want multiple layers in one variable?

true owl
#

yeah I want an OR of them

rich adder
#

yes so use a serializedLayerMask then assign the values in the inspector

true owl
#

interesting

#

what's the difference

wraith shuttle
#

i have been facing this problem for a day 💀💀

polar acorn
#

Show the inspector for the bullet

wraith shuttle
#

btw i changed speed to 10 and it doesnt work

image.png image.png
polar acorn
#

Did you change it on the prefab

wraith shuttle
#

so yeah

polar acorn
#

This is an instance of the prefab

wraith shuttle
#

oh shitto i forgot

#

and i noticed smth strange i go backwards

#

when i increased the bullet speed

#

and u right i changed it and the only problem it falls

#

and not go forward at all

polar acorn
#

Seems like your bullet is facing down then

#

Select whichever object has the gunScript on it and show the transform arrows in the scene

wraith shuttle
#

Sure

polar acorn
#

Is that what you want

wraith shuttle
#

btw i changed script to transform.translate(vector3.forward * time.deltatime * Speed); and it goes to the left

wraith shuttle
#

u smart tbh

#

and u right as always stupid me thanks brother

#

i will basically change the forward thing

image.png
polar acorn
#

That would be why it's not working

wraith shuttle
#

i used linearvelocity too

polar acorn
#

If you have a rigidbody you should use it

wraith shuttle
#

hmm it still falls

#

though i changed it from forward to left to make it go -1,0,0

Hey yall, have a bit of a weird situation with my first person camera rotation - the camera rotates faster while the player is moving, and there's some weird quirks with the camera rotation in general, doesn't behave naturally and jumps ahead at times

player is controlled using rigidbody, interpolation is on - turning off interpolation helps with the camera rotation speed, however the camera still jumps ahead

using UnityEngine;

public class PlayerCamera : MonoBehaviour
{
    public Transform cameraHolder;
    public Rigidbody playerRb;
    public float sensitivity = 5f;

    private float xRotation;
    private float mouseX;
    private float mouseY;
    
    private void Update()
    {
        mouseX = Input.GetAxis("Mouse X") * sensitivity;
        mouseY = Input.GetAxis("Mouse Y") * sensitivity;
    }

    private void FixedUpdate()
    {
        // Rotate the camera holder (vertical rotation - pitch)
        xRotation -= mouseY;
        xRotation = Mathf.Clamp(xRotation, -90f, 90f);
        cameraHolder.localRotation = Quaternion.Euler(xRotation, 0f, 0f);
        
        // Rotate the player body (horizontal rotation - yaw)
        playerRb.MoveRotation(playerRb.rotation * Quaternion.Euler(0f, mouseX, 0f));
    }
}
wraith shuttle
#

finally it worked

#

thats what i used

image.png
keen cargo
#

might've gotten my issue solved too with the following

public class PlayerCamera : MonoBehaviour
{
    public Transform cameraHolder;
    public Rigidbody playerRb;
    public float sensitivity = 5f;

    private float xRotation;
    private float yRotation;
    private float mouseX;
    private float mouseY;
    
    private void Update()
    {
        mouseX = Input.GetAxis("Mouse X") * sensitivity;
        mouseY = Input.GetAxis("Mouse Y") * sensitivity;
        
        // Rotate the camera holder (vertical rotation - pitch)
        xRotation -= mouseY;
        xRotation = Mathf.Clamp(xRotation, -90f, 90f);
        cameraHolder.localRotation = Quaternion.Euler(xRotation, 0f, 0f);
        
        // Rotate the player body (horizontal rotation - yaw)
        yRotation += mouseX;
        playerRb.rotation = Quaternion.Euler(0f, yRotation, 0f);
    }
    
}

oh yeah that's a huge mistake, it causes so many issues

#

rigidbodies aren't meant to be transformed or translated

#

especially if you have interpolation on in them

and the other stuff

and watched a yt tut

rich adder
#

clearly wasnt enough..

keen cargo
#

it's hard to believe that you went through everything if you don't know about sending links

rich adder
#

anyway show the required stuff. and make a thread so you don't flood other peoples questions

wraith shuttle
#

simple as that

keen cargo
#

brother make a thread

rich adder
#

what was hard about changing

rb.linearVelocity = Vector3.left * Speed * Time.deltaTime;
to
rb.linearVelocity = Vector3.left * Speed;

#

and also that direction looks sus.. why is it left. You have to show all the pivots

#

again in a thread..

wraith shuttle
wraith shuttle
rich adder
#

that wont fix falling directly but other issues later on / change of fps

wraith shuttle
#

i wanted to make sure that it isnot that

#

i changed it later to forward

#

and now it works thanks

keen cargo
#

if you come back when it's not working again then please make a thread

wraith shuttle
#

confusing ik

wraith shuttle

don't see how that fixed falling

btw deltaTime was reason it was slow unless speed around this high Speed = 100f

Are you getting an error? Or is the code just not doing what you expect?

when i start the game, this spams my console

#

That looks like it's an issue at playerlocomotion

#

Where is it attached to

golden notch
#

the character

#

does the camera need to be in the character too?

keen cargo
#

Check if the character has everything assigned to it

#

No you don't need to put the camera there

golden notch
keen cargo
#

show the playerlocomotion script in full

golden notch
polar acorn
golden notch
#

it still says 29 what?

keen cargo
#

hmmm so the cameraObject = Camera.main.transform; line could be the problem, because i don't think that's how you get the transform of the camera

i believe what's happening there is that you're trying to get the transform of the camera class itself?

polar acorn
golden notch
#

ook it says 30 now

polar acorn
#

Try logging both and see which one is null

golden notch
keen cargo
#

Debug.Log(whatever you're logging)

polar acorn
keen cargo
#

i think the issue there is the camera, you'd have to reference it in another way

polar acorn
#

If the camera were the problem, the null reference exception would be in awake when they try to get .transform from it

keen cargo
#

yeah you're probably right, do try logging though

golden notch
#

i think i fixed it

#

i forgot to add one of the scripts to the character

#

now i can move it too

#

the camera doesn't move though

i'll work on that

in need the player to move in front of a boundary i have set, basiclly they walk into the first boundary that switches cam positions and then there's another bound that if they walk into that it would switch the positon again so i need to move the player in front of the second boundary thats what its for i hope that explains it

Also, I'm not sure about the 2d variant but the 3d confiner is expecting a collider2d but you're trying to assign it a cinemachine confiner 2d (?) apparently. Show your updated code.

I'm assuming you accidentally changed the type for map boundary to confiner 2d when the error was produced, script hasn't been saved or something else

It's the most common plausible cause for YouTube video tutorials working but the user's copy not working - human error.

polar acorn
#

I literally keep a running tally of this

toxic verge
#

im pretty sure this is the exact same (other than my model because its not a capsule like his)

toxic verge
#

and your supposed to help me answer

#

not laugh at me like im some idiot

wintry quarry
#

don't start changing things until you get the tutorial working and you understand the whole thing

toxic verge
#

i havent changed anything

wintry quarry
#

You're not using a capsule, for one

toxic verge
#

other than adding a collider to my model so it wouldnt fall

toxic verge
#

because i like my player model

wintry quarry
#

The player model is irrelevant

toxic verge
#

why

wintry quarry
#

it's a first person controller

#

first off

#

second off - the movement etc is capsule based

toxic verge
#

but it will be multiplayer

wintry quarry
#

You need to learn to crawl before you start doing olympic marathons

#

worry about that later

toxic verge
#

i know how to crawl

wintry quarry
#

trust me it's not relevant

#

If you can't make a first person controller, you are still learning to crawl in Unity

polar acorn
toxic verge
#

so i spent a long time learning blender and my models are irrelevant

wintry quarry
#

your models are irrelevant for the thing you're trying to do right now which is make a first person controller

toxic verge
wintry quarry
#

the tutorial uses a capsule

#

you should be using a capsule

toxic verge
wintry quarry
#

worry abouit that after

#

it's not hard, but it's not worth jumping ahead

polar acorn
#

The actual model doesn't matter, only the collider is relevant for movement

ivory bobcat
#

Get the tutorial working first. Not wing it as you go

#

It'll be easier to eliminate issues that way

toxic verge
#

ok

#

i will try that

polar acorn
wintry quarry
#

yes you'd have to also show that each object has the right components, and that the fields are all assigned correctly

toxic verge
#

i have implemented the capsule and done the tutorial but it still doesnt work

wintry quarry
#

show the objects

#

we need to see the inspectors of the various objects to make sure you've set them up properly

polar acorn
#

And say what the actual problem is

wintry quarry
#

you should also be more specific about what "doesn't work" means

ivory bobcat
#

Do you fall through the world, aren't able to rotate, not move, camera doesn't follow etc

toxic verge

Seems pretty straightforward

#

your code is trying to use Input.mousePosition but you switched to the new input system

golden notch
#

strange as the tutorial i am watching used that just fine somehow

wintry quarry
#

In the tutorial they are not using the new input sytem

#

or they are using "Both"

ivory bobcat
#

Their player settings might be set to both whereas yours isn't

so what do i remplace 'Input.mousePosition' with then?

Are you missing a using directive?

golden notch
wintry quarry
#

your IDE will automatically suggest the fix

#

follow it

golden notch
#

i'm using Visual Studio and it has zero context on what is and is not valid, idk how to set it up properly

slender nymph
#

in fact, while typing that your IDE should have suggested the Mouse class with the correct namespace

wintry quarry
eternal falconBOT
wintry quarry
#

you need to set it up^

#

that should be done before anything else

golden notch
#

i don't even see a workloads tab

wintry quarry
#

where are you looking

golden notch
#

i looked in unity, and on visual studio (on the hub) and when it's open for a new project

wintry quarry
#

neither of those are where the instructions tell you to go

golden notch
#

oh i thought it meant if i already had it installed

golden notch
#

well i messed up 2022 version of Visual Studio

#

2019 is fine though

twin pivot
#

Having IDE makes this so much easier

languid jacinth
#

on mobile rn so figured forwarding would be best because files

twin pivot
languid jacinth
#

oh my bad, should i do screenshots instead?

naive pawn
#

no that's worse

#

!code

eternal falconBOT
naive pawn
#

it's not that we don't allow files, but they just aren't a good way to show what you have

#

though, i'd recommend you wait until you can get back on PC so you can actually test stuff or give more info from your project

languid jacinth
#

ill get back on rn i just figured it would take a lot longer for a response so i got off

twin pivot

This channel is quite quick with responses in my opinion

naive pawn

the way my game is set up its going to be a co op fps tps shooter kind of like fallout is, right now in a host/client instance of the game i have set up through relay, when both of us look around in first person it doesnt show either of us actually looking around, however in third person everything works perfect. im not sure exactly what im missing

wintry quarry
languid jacinth
#

yes

#

on either of our screens

wintry quarry
#

WHich object is your code actually rotating

#

and is that object network synced

#

and is the rotation synced for it

#

Also does the object you are rotating have any connection at all to the visual object you expect to rotate

#

I see this:

    private void LateUpdate()
    {
        if (playerRoot != null)
            playerRoot.rotation = Quaternion.Euler(0f, yaw, 0f);

        if (headBone != null)
            headBone.localRotation = Quaternion.Euler(pitch, 0f, 0f);

        if (IsOwner && fpsCam != null)
            fpsCam.transform.localRotation = Quaternion.Euler(pitch, 0f, 0f);
    }```
#

I would guess for one that the camera is not visible in any way, so the up and down pitch look certainly won't be visible

#

similarly for the headBone - you would need to be syncing that

#

and playerRoot

languid jacinth
#

im rotating the player root and yeah i have a network object on it as well

wintry quarry
#

with what settings

#

do you ahve a NetworkTransform

languid jacinth
#

yes

wintry quarry
#

with what settings

languid jacinth
#

the only way ik to do this is w screenshots so

Screenshot_2025-04-23_013324.png Screenshot_2025-04-23_013344.png
wintry quarry
#

What doe this hierachy look like, and what is your network topology?

#

if third person works properly I would really just guess that the two scirpts are rotating different objects.

#

Oh also:

SendYawToServerRpc(yaw);```
languid jacinth
#

im running a host client set up where i host with unity relay and he uses my code to join me

image.png
wintry quarry
languid jacinth
#

would it be best to use an rpc for fps as well

wintry quarry
wintry quarry
languid jacinth
#

client then

wintry quarry
languid jacinth
#

i just dont think its an issue with the networking, i feel like its in the scripting because idk how my third person one would work and the fps not

wintry quarry
#

it's an issue with networking and its interaction with your code

#

your code is not doing what it needs to do to effectuate a change in the rotation of the object over the network

languid jacinth
#

then what is my third person code doing that my first person doesnt

wintry quarry
#

well as mentioned it's doing the RPC

#

for one

#

for two it might just be rotating the correct object

#

it's hard for me to know just from seeing the code which objects are actually being rotated

#

because I don't know which object each script is attached to nor which objects are being referenced in the inspector

languid jacinth
#

they are both set up the same way under fpscam and tpscam, with the root object set as my military character

image.png image.png
wintry quarry
#

also are both of these scripts active at once

languid jacinth
#

they are only active based on what camera im on, i use camswap to disable the non active pov

#

could it be because my p1cam updates netLook.Value on the server but it doesnt update the local yaw/pitch on the server

#

im genuinely lost on how i made it work on one camera but not the other

wintry quarry
#

Well I noted that RPC thing a while ago have you tried that?

#

networking is very hard 🙂

languid jacinth
#

thats why im trying to figure it out first, so that way i can have all that worked out before i start adding everything else in. i am trying to see if i can get it to work differently with and without the rpc but it seems to do the same

thick spoke
#

welp, any ideas, so i am making a tower defense game, so i got the enemys path, i made it so that it goes in order of the stuff inside the parent, do i have to sort it manually?

wintry quarry
#

What are you trying to figure out here or achieve?

thick spoke
# wintry quarry you made it so _what_ goes in the order of stuff inside _what parent_?

i am going to explain it clearly, sorry for my vague explanation earlier, so i got towers spawning , they are supposed to go on the path shown in the picture (i dont have intersect texture yet) the way i programmed is for the code which is attached to the enenmy, to find the tag "Path" which is attached to the parent of the road, you can see it in the picture, its called Enemy path. after it finds the tag, it goes through the children in order, here comes my problem, it takes a bit of time to do it manually, is there any other ideas, beside timeline

image.png
wintry quarry
#

basically you would need to build a graph representation out of this

thick spoke
wintry quarry
#

and then you can do any off the shelf pathfinding algorithm like Djisktra's or A* on the graph

thick spoke
thick spoke
wintry quarry
#

you should use a tilemap

#

and then you can just do a pathfinding algorithm on the tilemap grid

wintry quarry
thick spoke
#

i see, thank you, i will try to learn about it

wintry quarry
#

The other option is to manually order them yes

#

but that's going to be a huge pain in the ass

#

pain to create, pain to maintain

#

also how would it work for the intersection parts?

thick spoke
#

yeah, agreed, i guess i will try to learn them

wintry quarry
#

you could certainly do a waypoint-based system

thick spoke
wintry quarry
#

that might actually be better for this - if they need to loop

thick spoke
#

i still tryna make the texture, the picture i provided uses asset store, i just dont know where to edit stuff inside unity, i tried importing it into blender

thick spoke
languid jacinth
#

I added a debug log to show the pitch and yaw it is sending to the server, it is constantly showing the right values but the rotation isnt changing still

thick spoke
naive pawn
thick spoke
#

does obs support mp4?

#

yep

naive pawn
#

pretty sure it does, if you can't find it you can just convert the file you have online

thick spoke

why does that happen? any ideas?

Also do your enemies have a Rigidbody on them?

thick spoke
thick spoke
thick spoke
wintry quarry
#

not sure what you mean by that

thick spoke
wintry quarry
#

You should double check there is no movement code on any other script as well

#

also Lerp isn't really appropriate here unless you can guarantee the waypoints are perfectly evenly spaced

#

MoveTowards would be better

wintry quarry
#

there might be something in another script

thick spoke
thick spoke
#

yep they are evened, i just checked

wintry quarry
#

regardless your "speed" is now expressed in terms of 1 / waypointDistance instead of just being an actual speed this way

#

also is any other script enabling/disabling this component by the way?

#

perhaps it's best if you just share the rest of your code

thick spoke
wintry quarry
#

using the paste site as you did before is fine

the three scripts on the enemy would be a good start

Hi, does anyone have any idea whats causing the jittering on objects when moving and looking around with the camera? im using a rigid body on the player and here is my movement and camera code:

void Update()
    {
        if (!isLocalPlayer) return;

        HandleLook();
    }

    void FixedUpdate()
    {
        if (!isLocalPlayer) return;

        HandleMovement();

        rb.angularVelocity = Vector3.zero;
    }

    private void HandleMovement()
    {
        Vector3 move = new Vector3(moveInput.x, 0, moveInput.y);
        move = transform.TransformDirection(move);

        Vector3 targetVelocity = move * moveSpeed;
        Vector3 velocity = rb.linearVelocity;

        rb.linearVelocity = new Vector3(targetVelocity.x, velocity.y, targetVelocity.z);
    }

    private void HandleLook()
    {
        Vector2 lookDelta = lookInput * lookSensitivity * Time.deltaTime;

        transform.Rotate(0f, lookDelta.x, 0f);

        cameraPitch -= lookDelta.y;
        cameraPitch = Mathf.Clamp(cameraPitch, -85f, 85f);

        if (cameraHolder != null)
        {
            cameraHolder.localEulerAngles = new Vector3(cameraPitch, 0f, 0f);
        }
    }

  1. Don't multiply mouse input by deltatime

also i would change the order of these 2 lines

        cameraPitch -= lookDelta.y;
        cameraPitch = Mathf.Clamp(cameraPitch, -85f, 85f);
surreal coyote
#

thank you, i did what dlich said and rotated via rigidbody instead of transform and removed the multiply by deltatime and it is much better, there seems like theres a little jittering still but that might just be my eyes messing with me lol

Hello! I've had a bit of an "issue" of serializing a dictionnary and followed an idea of having two seperate lists as [SerializeField]. Would it be possible to have a common size, so that if I change that size value in the inspector it also increases the size of both lists?

north kiln
mighty citrus
#

damn so I do have to use the custom Dictionnary then :/

naive pawn
mighty citrus
#

Is it an already existing asset?

timber tide
#

Just make a struct with key and value then make the dictionary at runtime

#

if possible I want to make prefabs of them

mighty citrus
#

so something like this:

struct pair{
  private ressourceType key;
  private int value;
}
hidden marten
#

is this an optimal way of adding force if im using velocity to move the player? (im worried because the debug.log(force) stops giving readings once it is less than 3)

image.png
timber tide
#

Is there a reason you're setting velocity if you're using forces

frail hawk
#

seems like you are playing animations when you should not.

#

i would simly move the logic from the !isGrounded if statement into the if statement on line 41 and get rid of the was grounded part

mighty citrus
#

I can't see the array in the inspector, am I doing something wrong?

[SerializeField] private List<pair> ressourcesCosts;

struct pair
{
    public RessourceInfo.ressourceType ressource;
    public int amount;
}
timber tide
#

[Serializable]

#

For structs and classes

mighty citrus
#

oh do I put it in front of struct?

timber tide
#

Before it, ye

mighty citrus
#

kk thanks!

tender gazelle
frail hawk
#

i would use a Trigger to play the jump animation instead a bool that you have to set back

this is the part that causes the problem , the wasgrounded and isgrounded part

vital helm
#

hello, how can i make growing objects that stops if it cant grow anymore, like when it ran out of space to grow it stops growing in 2d

verbal dome
#

And what shape is it

vital helm
#

just a simple square

#

something like this

image.png image.png
verbal dome
#

You could do a Physics2D.OverlapBox on each side of it

#

And grow towards the sides that weren't blocked

#

BoxCast is also possible and can be more accurate for this but is more complex to implement

vital helm
#

what's the difference?

verbal dome
#

BoxCast is like RayCast but it shoots a box

#

So it can tell you how far the box "traveled" before it hit anything

#

While OverlapBox only tells you if anything was in the box area you checked

vital helm
#

oh i see

thank you so much

DashSound and JumpSound are instance variables, so you cant access them via the type SoundEffects

is there a reason this is even a class

just put the dash sound and jump sound inside Move and capitalize Move to keep it consistent

polar acorn
# odd edge No?

Then you don't have access to those variables because they only exist on an instance of SoundEffects

A class is not an object. It's a pattern that tells an object what it can do. Until you create an instance of the class, it does not exist

either if its for seeing in your IDE or inspector, you wouldnt want to just make classes like this because it becomes more annoying to write. For now you should definitely avoid classes within classes

if (dataFloatActive[i] < (6 / 255) || dataFloatActive[i] >= (249 / 255))

  floatSmoothingMultiplier[i] = 0; // Set to 0 here
}
  if (dataFloatActive[i] <= 30/255 && dataFloatActive[i] > 6/255)

  floatSmoothingMultiplier[i] = ((dataFloatActive[i]-6/255)/((30-6)/255))* floatSmoothingMultiplier[i];

  // if not in these ranges, smoothing is unchanged
}
// Finish Dynamic Smoothing
Debug.Log(dataFloatActive[0]);
Debug.Log(floatSmoothingMultiplier[0]);

Is this a valid IF statement?
I am trying to change an array indices 'floatSmoothingMultiplier' to be a function of the corresponding indices in the array 'dataFloatActive'
The values in 'dataFloatActive' range 0-1, and the floatSmoothingMultiplier is set to 1 before this block of code

Outputting 'dataFloatActive' at the indice of 0 into the console shows that it does change properly when triggered, but it either uses the 'else' portion of the statement, or uses the first 'if' statement if the 'else' is empty
The math does work properly if it is forced, but the if statement just.. doesnt work?

6 / 255 is 0, 249 / 255 is 0. If there is no float in the operation, you will be hitting integer math, which has no decimal places.

proper pasture
#

both of these arrays are declared as 'public float[]' near the start of the script im modifying

#

in the console, 'dataFloatActive[0]' is outputting 0.0196, which corresponds to the 5/255 I am inputting. The second value in the pair, which is stuck at 1, is the floatSmoothingMultiplier[0]. But in the if statement, it should be 0?
If I make the else statement empty, it gets stuck at 0

proper pasture
#

Should I declare the variables its comparing to as floats, then put them in?

eternal needle
#

it doesnt matter that dataFloatActive[i] is a float. (6 / 255) is still 2 ints so the result is an int, thus 0. Afterwards its compared to with dataFloatActive[i] < (6 / 255) so its dataFloatActive[i] < 0

for some reason both of the Debug.Log's are running

    void OnJump(InputValue value)
    {
        // Can jump only if player collider is touching ground, preventing multi jump
        if (value.isPressed)
        {
 
            Debug.Log($"IsGrounded: {PlayerState.Instance.IsGrounded}");
            // checking for valid jump coniditions 
            if ((PlayerState.Instance.IsGrounded || PlayerState.Instance.IsOnRail) && canJump)
            {
                Debug.Log("Running typical jump");
                PerformJump();
                canJump = false;
            } else if (canJump) { // these are performed in the case that a normal jump should've gone through but didn't cause the conditions weren't met
                JumpBuffer();
                ApplyCoyoteTime();
                canJump = false;
            }
            PlayerState.Instance.IsJumping = true;
        }
    }
#

specifically in this part, even though I have an if statement

#

So it ends up printing out both "Running typical jump" and "applying coyote time", when it's only supposed to apply the coyote time when I'm slightly late on my jump

grand snow
#

its currently (is grounded OR is on rail) AND can jump)

true owl
#

yes but it's an if and else if

#

so if the if runs the else if shouldn't?

grand snow
#

correct but I see no log in the else if(canJump) section above

true owl
#

I'm sorry I posted the full code above

#

but essentially there's a log for "Applying coyote time" elsewhere

# 
    void ApplyCoyoteTime() {
        
        // if they're not touching any layers and the time since they've been falling is less than the allowed coyote time
        // perform a jump
        if (PlayerState.Instance.CheckIfNotTouchingLayers() && timeSinceStartedFalling < jumpBufferTime && PlayerState.Instance.TimeSinceLeftJumpableSurface() < jumpBufferTime) {
            Debug.Log("Applying coyote time");
            PerformJump();
        }
        
    }
#

right there

grand snow
#

Have you used a debugger to check what is happening?

true owl
#

Unity has a debugger?

grand snow
#

screenshots bad !code

eternal falconBOT
grand snow
#

faint tulip
frail hawk
#

@true owl kind of strange your if statements can you explain what you want, you are checking for canjump then again else if canjump

#

you could put the canjump into the very top if statement if (value.isPressed)

#

these kind of things are small but have big impact and can solve things easly

#

especially when you have a lot of code

true owl
#

so the issue is it's pretty much supposed to print either "Running typical jump" or "applying coyote time"

#

but it prints both resulting in a huge jump

#

only when i am just barely off the ledge (the coyote case)

shell sorrel
#

so i have my movement setup as a state machine but the coyote time is really easy since i just let a jump still happen if a jump has not been used and you have been in the falling state for less then a very small amount of time

true owl
#

I apply the coyote time with that same logic

#

PerformJump() contains the actual logic for jumping

#

and it's called within ApplyCoyoteTime() if the conditions are met

shell sorrel
#

yeah so more or less the same, i did not look at the code, and reading above i thought you were trying to like do it based on distnace or somethign

true owl
#

oh no, it's the same thing based on time passed since left platform and in falling state

shell sorrel
#

though i feel your buffered jump sounds a little odd since you are doing it with a raycast before you hit the ground

true owl
#

really what's wrong with it

shell sorrel
#

it would allow them to get slightly more height then a normal jump

true owl
#

well it says that if there's a jump at this time, then wait till you touch the ground and do a normal jump

#

so it's the same

#

I think

shell sorrel
#

ah why the need for a raycast

true owl
#

it checks if there's an input in this distance, which is basically the buffer I allow for an input

#

I thought the easiest way was a raycast

shell sorrel
#

i did my simply as a if you hit jump and are not grounded it records what time it was pressed, then when you become grounded then it sees if its been recent enough to use it

true owl
#

that also makes sense

#

i feel like both are valid

#

I'd just rather deal with raycasts over times

#

it's easier imo

shell sorrel
#

but yeah good movement code tends to get quite huge, not even feature complete for the one i am doing at work and its already 3kloc

true owl
#

ah okay gotcha

#

i appreciate the suggestion, I think i'm gonna stick with the raycast for now

#

i'll probably end up doing a refactor in the future

golden notch
#

ok so my player is moving down very slowly

#

You are probably setting the Y velocity to 0 somewhere in your movement code

        moveDirection.Normalize();
        moveDirection.y = 0;

        {
            storedBullets -= bulletsToLoad;
            loadedBullets = weaponCapacity;
        }
        else
        {
            storedBullets = 0;
            loadedBullets += storedBullets;
        }
    }
#

There's gotta be a cleaner way to do it ugh

rocky wyvern
#

Sounds like you need mathf.min

unborn valley
#

Sorry lol lemme check the docs up to see how that'd work

frail hawk
unborn valley
#

No yeah how would you even use Mathf.Min in that context

polar acorn
#

It returns the smaller of two values

unborn valley
#

I know, but still, how'd you apply it?

polar acorn
#

You'd get the min of bulletsToLoad and Stored bullets, then subtract that from stored bullets and add it to loaded bullets. No if statement required

unborn valley
#

Please allow my peanut brain to process

#

Wait

rocky wyvern
#

Like bulletstoload = mathf.min(
capacity - loaded,
stored);
Then just add and subtract bulletstoload from your tracked stored and loaded

#

You don’t need any checks because it will never be lower than 0 or make the loaded higher than capacity

#

And will at most be the correct amount to reload

unborn valley
#

Oh yeah that makes sense

#

I'll go correct my yandev-esque code then

It's a me issue not a you issue dw

rocky wyvern
#

I’ve read your original message but I still don’t know what you’re trying to achieve

#

Ok so you’re just doing some funky maths to an array of floats from input numbers from an array of floats?

#

What’s the expected outcome and what’s happening instead

proper pasture
#

ok, so the dataFloatActive controls the position of the fixture at the bottom with red arrows pointing to it. Its angle is changed according to an input of 0-255, which is translated to 0-1 somewhere before my edit to this script.
The fixture is intended to smoothly go full circle multiple times, which translate to what is effectivley a sawtooth pattern if one were to plot the dataFloatActive value vs time.
The problem is that the floatSmoothingMultiplier being anything other than 0 when dataFloatActive switches from 0 to 1 or 1 to 0 causes the fixture to do a backflip to try to smooth it as if it tried going the other direction

I will say that your third if statement will never be true
It’s like if i is less than 0.98 and greater than 1

#

Can you explain in simple terms how you want the fixture to move

Because this solution does feel very unnecessary

#

Have you considered using animations

it uses animations, however the position needs to be controlled via DMX input (audio visual stuff).

wai- it was the wrong file format

proper pasture
# rocky wyvern Can you explain in simple terms how you want the fixture to move

This is the intended behavior, where the fixture is able to spin fully in circles. The animation only has it going 0-360 degrees, but the input is a sawtooth pattern, rising to 1, then instantly dropping to 0 to restart the cycle. This has the smoothing off.
At low speeds, it begins to become jittery. with only increments of 1.4 degrees available for the input, it jumps around if small changes are made. This is why I want to add smoothing to it

rocky wyvern
#

ok and what about it do you need to change based on user input?

proper pasture
#

What I am trying to do, is scaling the smoothing strength with respect to the current angle/value.
I am trying to make the smoothing reduce to 0 when the variable dataFloatActive gets close to 0 or 1

#

The console in the video is outputting the dataFloatActive, and floatSmoothingMultiplier
the floatActive is what controls the position of the animation/fixture

rocky wyvern
#

and just have it be on or off?

proper pasture
rocky wyvern
#

so why not just use the animation like in the first video? im confused

#

if that's the intended movement

proper pasture
#

The problem with adding extra animations for finer movements is that... I need to add an entire set of 36 animations, and add more asynchreadback entries, doubling the number from 36 to 72, which will likely cause performance issues
