What’s the other error

[runic shore]

@rocky wyvern

[runic lance]

those special characters in the directory path seem likely to cause issues

[runic shore]

really?

[runic shore]

just our language xd

but we will try

[rocky wyvern]

And this is just for your friend or both of you?

[runic shore]

just for him

[rocky wyvern]

Have him try to update .net

[runic shore]

what is that mean

[rocky wyvern]

.net is a software framework for Microsoft

It’s what unity projects use

The error you’re getting failed to resolve assembly is an error from .net

It could be caused by something in your project, or it could be something in his .net installation

Just look up update .net and there should be a official Microsoft document for it

[runic shore]

maybe the other guy is right?

[runic shore]

this sone

one

[twin pivot]

go test out both theories

then come back

[rocky wyvern]

I mean, maybe, but i feel like that would be something that would have been fixed fairly rapidly

Just have him reimport the project to somewhere on c drive not under his user

If you think that might be an issue

[runic lance]

I would recommend never having non-ascii characters in your directories anyway

I even had problems with whitespaces in the past

[rocky wyvern]

I mean if it’s bros name it’s kind of understandable

[green copper]

just wanted to confirm something is going to behave as expected

if I have an object like indicatorLight

and I give it the property

public static CommsManager commsManager

the static keyword means that if I give one indicator light the commsManager in inspector, all will be able to read it?

they need to be able to run, essentially,

if (commsManager.messageQueue[0].address == this.address)
then turnSelfOn()```

Operative question is, will the static keyword mean I can have many indicator lights without having to manually assign the comms manager to all of them to get them to listen for whether they should turn on

[proper pasture]

ok I just fixed it by replacing the entire if statement with a single equation and it works... its a cosine function that drops to 0 when close to 0 and 1
it works perfectly now

[rocky wyvern]

Still very confused why you had to do it this way but gratz

[rocky wyvern]

The ‘better’ way to do this is to have the commsmanager hold a static variable of itself

Lookup a ‘singleton’

[green copper]

oh, duh, I forgot I did that exact thing to check story flags for something else it's even already set up for that

thank you lol!

[runic shore]

man u saved it

i fucking love u

[sand field]

What's the easiest way to accurately bounce an object off of a wall? I have this but it obviously isn't giving the desired effect

private void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other)
{
    changeAngle = transform.eulerAngles;
    transform.Rotate(changeAngle);
}

All 3 walls have a collider

[rocky wyvern]

Alternatively look into event channels, if I understand what you’re trying to create then it’s fitting for their usecase

[cosmic dagger]

static means it belongs to the class, not an(y) instance. Any instance (or any class that has access to the class) can assign it . . .

[rocky wyvern]

(I would argue better but it’s a new can of worms if you have no idea)

[green copper]

in essence it's like a telephone operator's wireboard with input and output wires, need a visual indicator of whether a port will have a message waiting when the player connects the plug

[proper pasture]

ah

[cosmic dagger]

static means it belongs to the class, not an(y) instance. Any instance (or any class that has access to the class) can assign it . . .

[cosmic dagger]

Sorry, chat kept moving and I tapped the wrong person . . .

[cosmic dagger]

Use Vector2.Reflect . . .

[proper pasture]

oh

[rocky wyvern]

I would consider looking into event channels if you have many things that need to be done when something occurs

And a singleton when you need to access data or functions from many scripts

[rocky wyvern]

I think your use case fits here

When message received, turn on light x
When message read turn off light x

[rocky wyvern]

The issue with your implementation is that every light has to check if it’s meant to be on every frame

Which unless you need to you’d rather not do

[green copper]

I was actually going to have that line of code run in a function like

onMessageQueueChange()

triggered in CommsManager

but an event system sounds like something build for that

so I'll look into it thank you

[rocky wyvern]

Yeah that’s basically the entire point of event channels

Purpose built for conveying when things happen to many instances of scripts that need it

[hushed ridge]

yes..?

[green copper]

gist of my usecase from my rough GDD is here

CommsManager will store all conversations with active incoming messages in a list of conversations called QueueIncoming

CommsManager will store a list of conversations that can be responded to in a list of conversations called QueueOutgoing


playerActiveDevice will keep track of whether the player has the radio or wireboard plugged in

playerActiveAddress will keep track of what address is selected, either which switchboard plug or what radio coordinates

playerActiveDirection will keep track of whether the player is in sending or receiving mode

if the method and address match an incoming message and the active direction is receiving, set the comms equipment to decode mode to begin displaying the data

if the method and address match a conversation with a reply available and the active direction is sending, display the player’s dialogue options and allow them to key a response

if the method and address do not match anything in either queue, or the wrong PlayerActiveDirection is set, comms devices should remain dormant

Every address with a matching conversation in QueueIncoming should have some form of indicator, either an indicator light for the switchboard or radio distortion minigame for radio

[hushed ridge]

why does ui appear in my scene

[slender nymph]

not a code question, but that is how the screen space overlay canvas works

[rocky wyvern]

So you can see it while editing it?

How else would you position things on a canvas

[hushed ridge]

use imagination

[rocky wyvern]

If it’s on overlay mode it won’t be rendered while in game

[wintry quarry]

well it will, just - overlaid on the screen not like this.

[cosmic dagger]

It has to be displayed for you to see and edit it. Each pixel represents a Unity unit, that's why it's huge . . .

[rocky wyvern]

Well yes i meant you won’t see this huge canvas when looking about

[sand field]

Honestly struggling to understand how to use this

All the examples I see online for getting the normal off the other object say to use thing.contacts.normal; but that doesn't seem to exist

[wintry quarry]

contacts is a property of the Collision class.

You only get one of those in OnCollisionEnter

You don't get that in OnTriggerEnter

[sand field]

Ah... I see

Thanks

[wintry quarry]

The other way generally to get a normal is from a raycast (or similar things like boxcast etc)

the RaycastHit will have a normal

for OnTriggerEnter - a common approach is to do a raycast from where your object used to be last frame to where it is now for example, and get a normal from that

Or just do the raycast/boxcast/etc in FixedUpdate before a collision actually happens

[sand field]

I think I'm almost there, doesn't actually effect the object upon collision yet

private void OnCollisionEnter(Collision other)
{
    Rigidbody rb = GetComponent<Rigidbody>();
    Debug.Log(rb);
    Vector3 v3Velocity = rb.linearVelocity;
    Debug.Log(v3Velocity);
    transform.Rotate(Vector3.Reflect(v3Velocity, other.contacts[0].normal));
    Debug.Log("Rotated");
}

[rocky wyvern]

Cache the rb btw don’t want to get component when you don’t have to

[cinder crag]

so i got a small problem with my sound , sometimes when i slam and then jump afterwards , when i land , the slam sound plays again for some reason and im not sure what causes it

[golden notch]

is it possible to have images and stuff in a input box?

[rocky wyvern]

Just add an image to it

Won’t break anything

[golden notch]

like will it be inline with the text?

[rocky wyvern]

Depends where you put it

What do you mean by have images in an input box you just want to display an image there right?

[golden notch]

i'll keep working and see if i have a better question

actually i have one, how do i clip a sibling, like for a scrollable container?

[rocky wyvern]

How are you setting movementstate

[rocky wyvern]

If I understand what you want then the component you want is called a Mask

[cinder crag]

i fixed it

[rocky wyvern]

Use mask for ur raycast btw if you don’t want to slam on random anything

Well, calculate the slam strength on anything

If it’s closer than the floor

[sand field]

Okay, now at least the balls react to the collision, but they keep trying to go the same direction

private void OnCollisionEnter(Collision other)
{
    Debug.Log("tforward" + transform.forward);
    transform.Rotate(Vector3.Reflect(transform.forward, other.contacts[0].normal));
    Debug.Log("normal: " + other.contacts[0].normal);
    //Debug.Log("Rotated");
}

[wintry quarry]

You're trying to use a direction vector as a parameter to Rotate

Rotate takes an euler angles vector

And it's also additive

Perhaps you want transform.forward = Vector3.Reflect(....)

[sand field]

Okay THAT works

Thanks a bunch

Literally all that I found on google was like 20 lines long

[rocky wyvern]

It’s normally something you’d probably just use physics for so

[cinder crag]

im trying to make the slam knockback objects with a rigidbody but for some reason , it doesnt knock back anything which is weird i guess

[sterile radish]

how can i make an audiosource play a sound on collision without it playing the sound a lot of times due to collisions triggering multiple times

[frosty hound]

You can first check if the audio source is currently playing
https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.0/Documentation/ScriptReference/AudioSource-isPlaying.html

[tall delta]

you have to add some type of 'gate', there are many ways to do it, but a bool probably be the easiest if you need it to play once and only once

eg.

bool hasPlayedSound = false;

void OnCollision() {
  if(hasPlayedSound == false) {
    sound.Play();
    hasPlayedSound = true;
  }
}

or a timer

float waitTime = 5f;
float counter = 0;

void Update() {
  counter -= Time.deltaTime;
}

void OnCollision() {
  if(counter <= 0) {
    sound.Play();
    counter = waitTime;
  }
}

[rocky wyvern]

I think there is Collider.attachedRigidbody btw

But your last raycast is weird

Is it meant to be a not?

I assume you’re trying to check for los?

[tall delta]

looks like it's for detecting walls and stuff. so the force doesn't trigger through a 'blocking' object

[rocky wyvern]

Ah I got it the wrong way round

[tall delta]

have you tried setting a breakpoint or adding some logs? might just be the HitLayer that's setup wrong, so it's not finding any colliders

[rocky wyvern]

If this doesn’t exist but I think it does I would also try hits[i].gameobject.getcomponent

[tall delta]

or since you are using OverlapSphereNonAlloc maybe you forgot to init the Hits[]? that will always give you an empty list

[rocky wyvern]

He has maxhits field so

[tall delta]

yeah ik, but it's easy to forget to add Hits = new[maxhits] in Start or something afterward. god knows I've made that mistake a few times 😅

[teal viper]

No. They often bounce off(depending on the hit angle and the surface material). The only case where they might stop immediately is if they break the surface and get stuck somewhere inside.
The latter is not a common feature in game engines, so all you have is bouncing.

[tall delta]

to address the question, seem like you just have to increase the linear and angular damping on the bullet rigidbody.

[cinder crag]

okay yeah , that was the problem xd

i forgot

[golden notch]

i randomly started getting this error

UnityEngine.Input.get_mousePosition () (at <0b0249d5e61a446b913cd2910a5a40f5>:0)

[polar acorn]

Probably because you are trying to read Input using the UnityEngine.Input class, but you have switched Active Input Handling to Input System Package in the Player Settings

[golden notch]

i mean i have a UnityEngine.InputSystem but i don't know where this issue is happening at

[polar acorn]

Looks like the EventSystem

[golden notch]

oh

ok so when i made the 2d Canvas it made an EventSystem object

do i delete it or something?

[polar acorn]

Are you intending to ever interact with anything on that canvas or is it purely visual

[golden notch]

intend to interact

[polar acorn]

Then deleting the thing that lets you interact with the canvases would probably be a bad idea. If you select it there should be a button that lets you add the Input System module to it

[golden notch]

i see it now

thanks

is it possible for canvas mode to snap to a grid?

i can't set the text anymore of any of my input components

i can set the placeholder though

[polar acorn]

Is the variable of type Text or TMP_Text, and are you trying to drag in a TextMeshPro object or a Legacy Text object

[golden notch]

Text, and no

[polar acorn]

Text is Legacy Text. What object are you trying to drag in

[golden notch]

not dragging anything in i just used the input ui object

and it was working and now it's not

no errors

[polar acorn]

Ah, so when you say "can't set the text" you mean you can't change it in-game?

[golden notch]

i can't change it in the editor

[polar acorn]

Is it just frozen at a specific value or is it getting reset when you hit play?

[golden notch]

it just doesn't do anything, when i defocus from the field in the inspector, the text just vanishes, and it never shows on the scene editor

[polar acorn]

Show a screenshot of the inspector of the object you're editing

[rocky wyvern]

Are you sure ur editing the placeholder text and not the text that’s meant to change when the user types in it

[golden notch]

im trying to edit the text text

[polar acorn]

Show the object you're trying to edit

[golden notch]

it's read only but selectable

restarted and it still doesn't work

[polar acorn]

Yeah don't change that one. That's going to get set by the input field

Change the text on the input field

[rocky wyvern]

Yeah you are editing the one that the player is meant to type in

Btw do yourself a favour and just import tmpro

[golden notch]

what's that?

[polar acorn]

TextMeshPro - the thing you should be using whenever you're doing anything with UI

[rocky wyvern]

Text mesh pro package

[polar acorn]

there is no reason to use Legacy Text any more

[rocky wyvern]

It’s standard

Just better text component

[golden notch]

this one?

[polar acorn]

Yes, use that one

[golden notch]

aight

[polar acorn]

Use the TextMeshPro versions of everything when it's an option

[golden notch]

including images?

[polar acorn]

Do you see an Image - TextMeshPro option?

[golden notch]

oh

now it's happening with those

one time it worked

and now it just refuses to allow me to manually change the "Text" area

[polar acorn]

Because you don't do that

Edit the text value on the input component

not the text object

[golden notch]

oh i see now

(Slams face on desk)

what's Multiline Submit?

[golden notch]

is there a way i can mask out the inner portion of a panel so it is transparent and have rounded borders?

[polar acorn]

Use a sprite that looks like that

[golden notch]

i think i found a bug

emojis do not show up at all (not even the black outlined emojis for regular text style) in a text area in the inspector

they do show in the editor though

[sour fulcrum]

Your chosen font might not support them (?)

[golden notch]

the font of the Unity editor itself?

[prime cobalt]

Hey how could I get ui elements tied to locations in the world working with splitscreen? Normally I just use world to screen but that doesn't really work with there being two smaller render textures.

[nimble apex]

legacy UI is meh , if i ever have textmeshpro i would ensure its tmp

[twin pivot]

only solution i can think of is to add a collider and instantiate the ui whenever the collider is triggered

but also i am still a beginner so theres probably a better solution

[teal viper]

Get the world to screen POS normally. This is the screen space position for the specific camera/half or the screen. Do some simple math to convert it to full screen space position.

[prime cobalt]

Ok I may be dumb but what math? Like it makes sense on the surface for it to be like dividing it by the size of the render texture and then offsetting it by the distance of the render texture from the center of the screen but the screen itself isn't the same size as the splitscreen areas

[teal viper]

If it's the bottom screen, then add the top screen hight to the position. And that should basically work🤔

The top screen should work as is

Unless I'm missing something. Need to test and see the numbers. Debugging

[prime cobalt]

The screen itself, at least in this example, is 3440 x 1440 but the splitscreen segments are actually a slightly different ratio since they're 2000 x 700 so I think the resolution ratio wouldn't translate right to the UI.

[teal viper]

You need to test and see.
The render textures should have the full screen resolution in sum.

Otherwise you're gonna get blurry image.

Or other artefacts, like aliasing.

[prime cobalt]

I had them at that resolution but it absolutely killed the framerate. Probably since there's 3 cameras in total all rendering at once.

[teal viper]

Then, when you use world to screen, it should return the position in that render texture space. The x should align with the full screen. The only difference is the y.

[prime cobalt]

Hmm ok.

[teal viper]

Yeah, you'll need to optimize your rendering so that each renders at 1/x of the budget.

What you're doing now is basically a primitive version of "upscaling" and there are various techniques for that, like FSR or DLSS. I think unity implements some of them.

[stark oasis]

Hey y'all, still learning C#. Found my way to Microsoft's modules.

I have a simple script here that isn't making sense to me.

int fahrenheit = 94;

fahrenheit = fahrenheit - 32;
decimal result = fahrenheit * (5 / 9);

Console.WriteLine("The temperature is " + result);

The console is reading 0, any advice?

Ah duh, I'm missing the m. lol

[somber radish]

what is "m" ?

[stark oasis]

For the (5 / 9)

should be (5m / 9) or (5 / 9m)

for decimal.

[somber radish]

what does "m" mean?

[stark oasis]

It's a data type.

Like for example, you have floats, doubles, decimals.

[somber radish]

but f - is float
what is m?

[stark oasis]

decimal.

[somber radish]

ah got it, thanks

[stark oasis]

It's more precise double, not usually talked about it seems

since this is the first time ive heard of it through the MOS modules

[somber radish]

if you dont add m, the result is main part from division

and its 0 for 5/9

[stark oasis]

Yeah, and it can't express a decimal because I'm trying to divide integers

Just an oversight haha

[nimble apex]

https://www.c-sharpcorner.com/article/data-type-suffixes-in-c-sharp/

in C# or C++ , adding an alphabet behind numbers have meanings

[stark oasis]

Yes, ik, it was just an oversight that I forgot to add and I was scratching my head wondering why console was giving 0

like a missed semicolon xd

[nimble apex]

but i dont think u need decimal level of accuracy lol

thats even stronger than float

or double

[stark oasis]

No, but for this particular module it asks for the end result of the script to be: 34.444444444444444444444444447

and instead of counting the repeating decimal, I just played it safe so it was satisfactory

[nimble apex]

[stark oasis]

lol

[somber radish]

never understand when someone uses non-monospaced font in code snippets 🙂

[nimble apex]

the only font i will use is arial lol

if it involves chinese i will use notosans, cuz arial cant process that well

[somber radish]

why?

[nimble apex]

cuz it works and widely accepted

thats all

[somber radish]

do you use non-monospaced font in your code editor / IDE too?

[nimble apex]

good question, idk

default fonts for rider?

[somber radish]

jetbrains mono

[nimble apex]

i just use it as it is bruh

[rotund crown]

hm, getcomponent<> is fine because it's retrieving a component on the object right
but gameobject.find() is searching through all (sibling?) objects for one with that exact name right? isn't that resource intensive

[teal viper]

Yes, find searches through all loaded gameObjects. You should avoid it if you can.

[sour fulcrum]

Can I define a constructor for an enum or will I need a little base class to wrap around it

[nimble apex]

normally by using singleton manager, reference when instantiate , inspector on editor mode can help u avoid 90% of situations of using .Find

[rotund crown]

hooyea i'm just surprised the tutorials are saying to use .find() so frequently and without disclaimer
glad my intuition is good

[nimble apex]

using .Find is just easy and lazy

tutorial expects u to follow every steps, so if u named ur objects the same way .Find will work and tutorial itself will work

[rotund crown]

so no object.direction_to(object) function or anything like that huh
hehe i'm gonna be launching projectiles backwards so often

[sour fulcrum]

transform.LookAt() ?

[nimble apex]

lookat

[rotund crown]

so coroutines are declared like a function, but with IEnumerator instead of private/public void
i assume yield tells it to wait for the WaitForSeconds to finish, but what is the return doing?

[keen owl]

IEnumerator is the return type for the method and return just returns a new instance of WaitForSeconds

[rotund crown]

what does returning a new instance of waitforseconds do here?
i assume the purpose of this coroutine is just to delay the toggle of hasPowerup by 7 seconds, is returning a waitforseconds necessary to achieve this?

[teal viper]

An enum is just a simple numeric value(usually int). So there's nothing to construct.

[rotund crown]

or could you just like call start on

void powerupCountdownRoutine(){
   new WaitForSeconds(7):
   X = false;}```

[nimble apex]

if u dont declare accessor(public/private) on functions

by default it will be private, so its okay to not declare that with only datatype

void Awake is private void Awake

[rotund crown]

how would you guys insert a simple like 7second delay into something?

[teal viper]

The logic that requires the delay must be implemented with it in mind, i.e. it either needs to be a coroutine or async method. Or you could break the logic into 2 parts, execute 1 part normally, and delegate calling the second part with a delay to some system that can do that, like a coroutine, async, invoke

You can also use timers in update to implement the logic

[rotund crown]

so i guess how i'd want to do it, declare a new timer, and have that timer call a function once it's done

[teal viper]

Great. All you need is just to implement such a timer(system).

[rotund crown]

hehe seems like i cant do what i did in godot, i had a dozen tiny await's that let me fine tune the timings of attacks for the best gamefeel

[nimble apex]

intrinsic functions like invoke/coroutine is easier to setup, u can also do custom timer function

[rotund crown]

which was bad practice admittedly

[nimble apex]

and yeah, unity uses C#

[teal viper]

You can do that fine in a coroutine.

Or in an async method

[nimble apex]

https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.0/Documentation/ScriptReference/Coroutine.html

wait async is upgraded in unity 6?

[rotund crown]

okay so the yield return is just standard practice for coroutines i suppose

[nimble apex]

yes

[rotund crown]

still dont entirely wrap my brain around it but it doesnt matter to me immediately, and hopefully once it becomes relevant i'll figure it out

[rotund crown]

what is torque?

like resistance to friction and gravity torque?

[slender nymph]

torque is rotational force

[rotund crown]

oh okay

how would the while (true) be set to false?

[slender nymph]

it wouldn't

[rotund crown]

ah they updated it two lessons later

is OnMouseDown() a special unity function that detects when mousedown is pressed while hovering over the gameobject?

[slender nymph]

you know google exists, right?

[rotund crown]

hom fair point, i think i started figuring it out mid ask
i was thinking of onInputDown and thinking that this would just trigger on every mouse press

but it's a function

hm, i went to the unity docs and saw that it's a special event that's added to any gameobject with a collider

but when i went to the collider page on the docs, i didnt see it mention OnMouseDown()

[slender nymph]

because it is not a method on the Collider class, it is a method on MonoBehaviour

[rotund crown]

ah okay time to go search for useful events and methods yay

[mental rock]

What is the typical method for doing auto-stepping with 2d kinematic rigidbodies?

I've been trying an algorithm that fires a raycast ahead of the player and if it detects an obstacle, it'll fire a raycast above, if it detects an obstacle again, the cycle repeat. If it doesn't find an obstacle then it places the player there.

The issue is that this always feels very staggered and janky, and also suffers from the problem of the player getting stuck on miniscule heights as the initial detection raycast has to be judt above the ground or else it'll keep detecting the ground, so I was wondering if there was a standard way of implementing this.

[tired garden]

Hello, I'm a beginner on unity and I wanted to know if velocity and linearVelocity are the same thing? For example, when I write rb.velocity, the software modifies it directly to rb.linearVelocity (whereas on the tutorials I'm looking at it's rb.velocity).

[charred spoke]

linearVelocity is the new name yea

[tired garden]

ok ty

[proper tree]

hey there, a cousin of mine wants to start learning game making in unity and I am not really the best teacher, so will any of you guys gimme good recommendations for him?
Thanks Again!

[naive pawn]

consider suggesting something simpler then

[proper tree]

ik you do

[proper tree]

ig so

tysm man

[twin pivot]

Not sure if this is the right channel but how do you get the transform of the camera

Wait i can just use tmp nvm

[queen adder]

(°-°)👍

[rocky wyvern]

Use layermask on your raycast

[lapis yew]

maybe not what youre looking for but the Character controller component has auto step

[rocky wyvern]

If you want to implement yourself I would recommend just raycast forward to find obstacle

Than raycast down to find height

Don’t really need to recur

If by staggered and janky you mean the teleporting is bad then just use ramps

So many games use it for a reason

[mental rock]

The world geometry functions as both walls and floors so I don't see that working, assuming that's what you meant

[mental rock]

How does this work? What if the obstacle is lower than the raycast?

[rocky wyvern]

Then your raycast is too high

[mental rock]

Unless you mean cast forward, and then downwards and then check for the obstacle?

[rocky wyvern]

Does your character controller have physics

Or is it kinematic

[mental rock]

If its too low then it'd touch the ground and give false flags, if its any higher then tiny lip steps will go undetected

[mental rock]

Kinematic

[mental rock]

Honestly I think this will work

[rocky wyvern]

You raycast a tiny bit above foot level

If it hits something

Anything

Doesn’t matter if it’s the floor

Your char is MEANT to autostep

[lapis yew]

raycast in the direction youre moving,
set its height via a variable
set its length to the step length
if the raycast detects nothing then youre good, otherwise move up

[rocky wyvern]

What do you mean false flag

[mental rock]

I meant if the raycast is aligned exactly with the ground then it'd just detect the ground, but if it's any higher then it won't pick up the tiniest of bumps

[rocky wyvern]

Is it really important to your game that your character move up 0.01 units when he walks on a grain of sand?

[mental rock]

The issue is that they won't move up at all and will get stuck

[serene cosmos]

hii on line 55, i have an error where it says i need a } but i have one already, i have another issue where my Destroy(gameObject) does not work as it says theres no reference and was wondering how i could fix this

[rocky wyvern]

Is there a reason you aren’t using physics

[mental rock]

I wasn't a fan of the skin width lol

[lapis yew]

if isnt closed

[mental rock]

It was unsightly since its on a small scale

[rocky wyvern]

You miss a curly bracket on line 42

[mental rock]

I know you can change it but it stopped working properly

[north kiln]

Configure your !ide so you can see basic issues like these

[eternal falcon]

💡 IDE Configuration

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

Select one:

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

[mental rock]

I think casting a ray forward from the max step height and then casting down to detect an obstacle will work, right

Sounds like it would

[rocky wyvern]

Would but you don’t want to raycast if you don’t have to

[mental rock]

Is it really that expensive

[rocky wyvern]

I made this mistake before

Trust me it isn’t worth it

If it bothers you you can increase the visual size of your char by the skin width

[mental rock]

Not sure what you mean but I'm having (decent) success with kinematic as of now except this smoothstep lol

The biggest issue tight now is that the players velocity keeps getting zeroed when autostepping since they technically collide with a wall and slow down as a result so the movement on steps is very staggered

[rocky wyvern]

It’s not that expensive

Just make sure to use nonalloc

[rocky wyvern]

Walls and floors are tricky

Colliding with the side of a floor or the top of a wall is your worst nightmare

If you will have any sharp edged verticality

[serene cosmos]

[serene cosmos]

[nimble apex]

a configured IDE will never have that messy issue on update()

and do configure it

I'm following a tutorial on Unity's page. The code seems easy now. : )

[twin pivot]

leftClick is not changing for some reason
https://paste.mod.gg/ebdstizexviy/0

ignore the fact that leftClick is y

[hexed terrace]

how come you're not using https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.0/Documentation/ScriptReference/Input.GetMouseButtonDown.html ?

[twin pivot]

great question, lemme go do that thx for the help

[sharp bloom]

Does anyone know why this line always returns 0 on Android build?

It works as expected in simulator and Unity remote

[wraith shuttle]

Is it ok to not use player controller script and use transform.translate(yk the horizontal and vertical after )

[verbal dome]

If you don't need collisions then it's fine

[sharp bloom]

Depends. I wouldn't use transform.translate with physics

[wraith shuttle]

Thanks

[wraith shuttle]

Thanks too 🙏

I would probably learn the player controller cuz yk unity learn make only transform.translate for some reason

In the pathway

[polar acorn]

Physics based movement probably comes later

[wraith shuttle]

I don't think so cuz there gameideas doesn't require much physics

[polar acorn]

Hence why they don't cover it.

[wraith shuttle]

I can be wrong but till now and after searching in the future units they don't cover it

[polar acorn]

To be more precise - I believe they intentionally picked projects that don't require physics so that they don't have to introduce physics based movement too early

[wraith shuttle]

But there is a good tut that learnt me AI and stuff (roll the ball )

[wraith shuttle]

Ik but I searched every single unit and didn't find any physics movement

Like tbh roll the ball tut made me learn alot on how to build and how to use nav map and how to make a count system and using TxPro smth like that

[tawny ermine]

Okay so can you share me some ideas if you don't mind

[eternal needle]

#📖┃code-of-conduct read the rules

[lean pelican]

I want to have a tile smoothly rotate 90° around the z-axis over a set duration (0.5 seconds) when clicked. How do I do that? (I know it has to be a Coroutine, but I can't wrap my head around Quaternions and Euler angles.)

[wintry quarry]

One option is to use a tween library
Otherwise you would use Slerp or RotateTowards in a loop in a coroutine

or just set a target rotation and rotate towards it in update

for example:

float rotateSpeed;
Quaternion targetRotation;

// You need to call this somehow when it's clicked
public void WhenClicked() {
  float amountToRotate = 90;
  float duration = 0.5f;
  targetRotation = transform.rotation * Quaternion.Euler(0, 0, amountToRotate);
  float rotateSpeed = amountToRotate / duration;
}

void Update() {
  transform.rotation = Quaternion.RotateTowards(transform.rotation, targetRotation, rotateSpeed * Time.deltaTime);
}```

There are ultimately many ways to do it

the exact right thing to use depends on your project and your existing code

[grand snow]

looks good to me bar the rotation being applied always in update even if done

[wintry quarry]

It's also not clear exactly what a "tile" is in this context

[lean pelican]

A square-shaped 2D sprite.

[wintry quarry]

if it's a GameObject, this is fine.
If it's a tile in a TileMap, things are a little different

[lean pelican]

A GameObject.

[wintry quarry]

If there are a huge number of these things, it indeed might be better to go with a coroutine rather than using Update.

or a tweener

[lean pelican]

There's a 2-digit amount, but only one can be clicked and rotate at the same time.

It's for a puzzle game of correctly aligning pipe pieces.

[wary glade]

Has anyone worked with the quest 2 that can help me?

[wintry quarry]

a coroutine version would look something like:

void DoRotation() {
  StartCoroutine(RotateOverTime(90, 0.5f));
}

IEnumerator RotateOverTime(float amountToRotate, float duration) {
  Quaternion targetRot = transform.rotation * Quaternion.Euler(0, 0, amountToRotate);
  Quaternion startRot = transform.rotation;
  float timer = 0;
  while (timer < duration) {
    timer += Time.deltaTime;
    float t = timer / duration;
    transform.rotation = Quaternion.Slerp(startRot, targetRot, t);
    yield return null;
  }
}```

I see, thanks.

[rapid thunder]

guys i need help with the movement code

[rapid thunder]

im following unity learn programming

and when i paste the script for movement it actually moves

but not in straight line mine is jumping lol

[wintry quarry]

You would have to show your code and maybe a video - and explain how things are set up

[rapid thunder]

here is the code

https://learn.unity.com/pathway/unity-essentials/unit/programming-essentials/tutorial/add-a-movement-script?version=6 and the video is here

[wintry quarry]

So what do you mean by "jumping" exactly

I kinda meant a video of your issue

[rapid thunder]

oh lemme screen record then wait a sec

here it is

[rapid thunder]

and this is the video

like before unity learn i tried multiple tuto for movement but i couldnt manage to make them walk

[wintry quarry]

How come you added an extra collider to the player?

Did the tutorial ask you to do that?

I would guess it has a collider already

As you can see - the collider you added is clipping through the ground

so that explains why your object jumps into the air at the start of the game

Yeah you can see the green framework looking stuff around the actual cylinder - that's probably the existing MeshCollider that the object already had

[rapid thunder]

well i redo the tutorial and it worked idk what i did different but worked thanks

[wintry quarry]

you presumably didn't add a random box collider this time

[tribal fulcrum]

is this error code related?

if so what can i do to fix this

[polar acorn]

https://screenshot.help/

[twin pivot]

could someone give me an example of how the InstantiateParameters parameters work

i dont really understand what that means

[naive pawn]

did you check the type?

https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.0/Documentation/ScriptReference/InstantiateParameters.html

[twin pivot]

yes and i still dont understand what the last parameter is supposed to represent

[wintry quarry]

you can just click on it

The docs describe it

[twin pivot]

is it just any parameter?

[naive pawn]

no, it's that specific type

[wintry quarry]

The exact description of the type is right here #💻┃code-beginner message

[twin pivot]

ive read it 3 times now but i still dont quite get it

[wintry quarry]

The docs are pretty straightforward. You can see it's a struct defined in the UnityEngine namespace, and it has 3 properties:

• parent
• scene
• worldSpace

you can even click on each property to see what it does

[twin pivot]

no i know what the properties are

[naive pawn]

it's a combination of those 3 values, into a single parameter

[twin pivot]

i just dont know how one would use it

[wintry quarry]

So I'm having trouble understanding where your confusion comes from

[wintry quarry]

Look at your screenshot here

you would use it as a parameter to Instantiate just like it shows

[hexed terrace]

It's a type used to hold some data, making it easier to re-use the same values without having to keep typing the same 3 things

[wintry quarry]

Maybe you're confused about how structs, classes, and parameters work in general?

[naive pawn]

Instantiate(obj, new InstantiateParameters() { parent = parentTransform });

[twin pivot]

oh i see

[wintry quarry]

it's no different from the Vector3 position parameter, for example

[twin pivot]

hold on lemme see if my understanding is correct

[wintry quarry]

just a struct holding some data

[hasty adder]

does anyone here know tf is going on? im returning to the original MR template but it doesnt work anymore???? i need it because apparently you cant use building blocks to: have a cube with physics and have it use the room scan - also the room scan block sometimes displays sideways room scans so i need this template

where would said prefab be so i can get it from the template and fix it.

[hexed terrace]

this is a code channel, and that is not a code question. Please delete from here and try asking in #🤯┃augmented-reality

[twin pivot]

it was not

[hexed terrace]

You don't need it, you can instantiate without it (I didn't know this type existed until now). You could just ignore it and carry on - return to trying to understand it when you've got more experience

[polar acorn]

You would use it to set:

• The desired parent
• The desired scene
• Choose between local and world space

to the values you want them to be

[twin pivot]

im trying to use it to set the desired parent

[polar acorn]

So you would create an InstantiateParameters instance with the parent set to what you want, and use that for Instantiate

[wintry quarry]

Well there's an easier overload to use for that

[twin pivot]

well i tried using this Instantiate(_pointerParent, gameObject.transform.position, gameObject.transform.rotation, gameObject.transform);

but _pointerParent and its child kept taking on the size of the gameObject

[wintry quarry]

pay attention to which thing you're putting in which place

[hexed terrace]

gameObject.transform is the same as just transform.. and they're both THIS gameobject/transform (where this component is attached)

[wintry quarry]

this way would clone _pointerParent and make the new clone a child of the object this script is attached to, i.e. transform

which object are you trying to clone and which object do you want the clone to be a child of?

[twin pivot]

this is what im trying to do

[wintry quarry]

ok then that's correct

yes a child object will take on the scale of its parent

[twin pivot]

but avoiding that

[wintry quarry]

if you don't want things to be scaled that way, you need to fix your hierarchy so your parent object(s) are not scaled.

[twin pivot]

oh my god i thought the gameObject was at (1,1,1) scale the entire time

thanks for the help

[green copper]

in cases where I have number of variables like this, my general process is to take a screenshot so I can remember what they're called when I'm working on a function ~100 lines down in a long file. Winkey/shift/s is just the fastest way I know to put the information on screen and keep it there.

is there a way to pin them or something in VS?

Googling mostly gives results about how to keep an eye on their values for debugging, that's not what I need

[naive pawn]

you could open a separate window/tab with the same file

[polar acorn]

I would recommend giving them some sort of shared prefix that explains what they're for, then you can just do .whatever and see all of the options

Like, if these were named ConvoQueueIncoming, ConvoQueueOutgoing, and ConvoArchive, you could just do .Conv and see them all in suggestions

[green copper]

Thanks for the tip!

[rotund crown]

why is spacesArray null?

[polar acorn]

Where do you assign it a value?

[rotund crown]

hm, well i was thinking i should declare the array, then have a function assign values to it

but i cant assign values to it because it is null

[polar acorn]

You can't assign values to null

You can assign values to an array, but you haven't created one

[rotund crown]

so i declared the array incorrectly?

[naive pawn]

you declared it correctly

maybe you wanted to initialize it too?

[polar acorn]

You've declared it fine. But you haven't put anything in the variable

[naive pawn]

you would create an array with the size you want it to be

[polar acorn]

you have a perfectly declared variable that can hold an array of transforms.

you just haven't actually put an array of transforms into it

[naive pawn]

if you don't know what size you want it to be (which seems to be so since you're doing i++ in Start) you should use a list instead (and you still have to initialize that

also why are they static

that's not how they should be, and not how singletons work

[rotund crown]

yeah i realized static variables are more what i want here than a singleton, i just didnt rename the script

i figured i'd make it globally accessible so i dont have to get a reference to it since this is just a small practice project

ah i see, when i declare a variable, that remains as null, i have to immediately or later create a new value to assign to it

[polar acorn]

Yes, declaring and assigning are two different things.

Until you assign a value to a variable, it will remain default, which is null for anything that can be null

[rotund crown]

is there an equivalent to .Length but for lists?
i tried to find list on the unity docs but i couldnt seem to find it

[polar acorn]

Count

[polar acorn]

List isn't a Unity thing, it's a C# thing

[rotund crown]

ahh so if i cant find it on the unity docs, check the C# docs, thaat explains a bit

[rotund crown]

how do i use a script to retrieve a child gameobject?
it looks like i can only retrieve components on child gameobjects

[naive pawn]

transform.Find, GetChild

though do you need to? consider using serialized references instead

[rotund crown]

i was just thinking that

[rotund crown]

well transform is a component of the gameobject right?
do i have to find the transform then use that to retrieve the gameobject that owns that transform?

[naive pawn]

no, transform.gameObject is a thing

and same for every other component

[rotund crown]

ah okay so like this

[naive pawn]

you could theoretically find "child with component X" by doing GetComponentInChildren<X>().gameObject

(but really you should probably just use serialized references)

[rotund crown]

getting children by component rather than by name does sound better

[naive pawn]

doing it statically in the inspector would generally be even better

[rotund crown]

mhm but i know how to do that, gotta try new things to learn
thank you~!

what is this warning me about?

[rich adder]

what does DiceButton do ?

[eternal needle]

is this on rider? dont think ive seen this on VS. but it seems clear that its telling you DiceButton is doing something expensive and you're doing it in update

[rotund crown]

mhm it's rider

[brave compass]

I usually get this when methods use Debug.Log. It’s not smart enough to know when it's rarely used.

[rotund crown]

okay so it's just a random warning and it's up to me whether it's founded
i put in the _buttonCooldown for a reason so i'm good

[rich adder]

its not a warning, its just rider information

[rotund crown]

this ide sure is nervous

[rich adder]

they had to add extra bells to make it worth the $

[eternal needle]

thats something id probably turn off lol

[rotund crown]

so many bells and whistles of questionable usefulness

[shell sorrel]

can turn most of that stuff off

some of it can be useful though

[rotund crown]

hm, are tweens difficult to do in unity? i tried looking up a tutorial on how to make a tween, and didnt really see one, and like 3 websites providing services (plugins?) to simplify tweening did pop up

oh and all the video guides are using one of those services heh (DoTween)

[cosmic dagger]

Making your own tween(s) is a bit of work, but you can use free plugins. If you need smth simple, use Lerp with the update loop or with coroutines . . .

[polar acorn]

DOTween is probably the easiest and most robust library for tweening various values. For a long time, Unity had no tweening library, and what they have now, Timelines, is significantly more complex and less useful than DOTween

[rotund crown]

ohh lerps are probably what i'm thinking of when i think tween

yupyup

i guess the difference is tweens can have an arc

[hasty adder]

question: is there a way to get the unity 2022 ui in unity 6? i had to use unity 6 for the MR template but now the ui changed :(

[rich adder]

the editor UI ? no.

[hasty adder]

:( i guess i have to use this ui just because i want MR multiplayer :/

[rich adder]

the editor UI would be the last thing I'd worry about..

[hasty adder]

idk if this is the correct channel but how could i test multiplayer if i have 2 devices?

i got 2 people too

[frosty hound]

Have you made your game multiplayer?

[hasty adder]

yeah i used the MR multiplayer template (im assuming this isnt ar talk)

because uh this is really multiplayer in general

[frosty hound]

Have a read through this?
https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.template.mr-multiplayer@1.0/manual/test-multiplayer.html

[hasty adder]

yeah uhh i can build it

ok -

can i use unity 2022 android build tools with unity 6

cz i dont have 5 gb to blow on stuff i already have

[brave robin]

If you only need a smooth ease in and out, that's also possible with lerp. The t just needs to be a Mathf.SmoothStep

[golden notch]

how do i cancel a selection in a selection event function <Input Field>?
Attempting to select while already selecting an object.

[hasty adder]

i got the same device so i shouldnt need a new compiler of the same thing how do i set the paths - ive also tried asking AI for help but it doesnt help either because last i checked it aint working

[naive pawn]

yeah don't use genai for help lol

[naive pawn]

if you aren't using unity 2022 you could uninstall that

[hasty adder]

no i do need unity 2022

all of the storage i got is just basically steam :/

[grand snow]

you should be able to share it between i expect, ive done it all though android studio custom before and that was mostly stable

[hasty adder]

yeah but

i need to use unity 2022 android compiler

welp it might be time to get my 20th usb in a year soon

[grand snow]

or buy 1 decently sized drive?

[polar acorn]

So uninstall the Oblivion Remake, give yourself back 125 gigs

[hasty adder]

no

its basically just gmod, mods, and p2

and i need those :/

[golden notch]

well idk how to use waittillendofframe to bypass the error, it still doesn't work. I need to deselect when someone selects the item, but if used in the same frame, i get an error

adding the eventdata parameter makes the function not even show up in the inspector

like this doesn't even show up anymore in the inspector when trying to add it

    {
        if (!mainChatFadeScript.currentlyVisible)
        {
            Debug.Log("Selected Item");
            eventData.selectedObject = null;
            //eventSystem.SetSelectedGameObject(null);
        }
    }```

i see you're new to discord, so; most servers have rules that you have to read and agree to before interacting in the server. did you actually read the rules? #📖┃code-of-conduct

[eternal needle]

WaitForEndOfFrame or yield return null would have to be in a coroutine. Im not sure exactly what you're doing here, didnt see full context, but you could start a coroutine from this method

[golden notch]

I have an event that triggers when the player selects an input control, and when a certain condition is met, i want them to not be able to select the control (meaning immediately deselecting) however I can't seem to get it to work no matter what I do.

[rotund crown]

what did i do wrong with my lerps?

[north kiln]

You're not using the return value, which is probably what it's telling you if you hover

[tawny atlas]

Look. I am new to this. I am not selling anything. I have spent a long time trying to use the Unity game engine to create a virtual universe. If you are not interested, let it go. If you are, tell me what you need and I'll pass it on.

Your t is an unchanging value of 14. It's supposed to be a float that changes from 0 to 1 over time, where 0 is at A and 1 is at B

[tawny atlas]

Daisy is definitely a Bot!

[keen cargo]

What?

[golden notch]

beep boop

[keen cargo]

What are you waffling about

[north kiln]

14 is also a silly value to use in Lerp, as Mathf.Lerp is clamped.

[rotund crown]

oh weird

[north kiln]

https://unity.huh.how/lerp/overview

[rotund crown]

so the value of t should be decreased from 1 to 0 over 14 seconds, and each call returns the value at the current t value, okay

[tawny atlas]

Contrivance is some sort of AI. Are there any real people out there?

[keen cargo]

Are you ok?

[north kiln]

If you don't have anything on topic to say in this channel please just stop.

[brave robin]

So if you want your lerp to function over 14 seconds, you'll either need to set it up in update to keep track of a float value and increment it every frame with the time spent that frame, or do it in a coroutine or async method

[tawny atlas]

Ok. Had enough. If you're not interested, I'll try some other group. BYE!

[polar acorn]

You have literally been told multiple times which channel to post your project in

This is a help channel

[keen cargo]

Yep i think that's one of the purposes for devlog

[polar acorn]

unless you have a question, you should not be posting in this channel

[eternal needle]

I havent done this specifically so im unsure what error you're talking about with deselecting immediately. Though making a coroutine should be fine here, and starting it from the method you've shown.

[keen cargo]

You're logging your progress yknow

[golden notch]

ahh

[rotund crown]

but what if i use a lerp to decrease 1 to 0 over 14 seconds

[brave robin]

Lerps can work in either direction too

[rotund crown]

mhm they seem pretty flexible

[polar acorn]

All it takes is a starting place and a stopping place, the order doesn't matter

[brave robin]

All the lerp does is figure out where something should be between A and B, if it is at T. So if T = 0.5, it will be halfway between A and B. 0.1 = 10% of the way from A to B. And so on

[rapid thunder]

does unity essentials tutorial enough for making simulator game with presets...

[naive pawn]

no, unity essentials are essentials

you'd need to learn a lot more to make a full game

[polar acorn]

No tutorial is going to be tutorial enough to make a game without additional research and unstructured learning

they get you started, not finished

[rotund crown]

i love unstructured learning

[rapid thunder]

well what do i need to learn for making smtn like supermarket tutorial

[rapid thunder]

i mean ofc i will add some stuff with searching im jst saying can i do it ?

[naive pawn]

break it down to simple pieces and learn each piece

then link them all together

[rotund crown]

it variest from person to person, i myself learn best from just leaping right in and researching how to do things as the need arises

but you might be different

[polar acorn]

As in "Is it possible to make this specific kind of game in Unity?" Yes. The answer is yes no matter what kind of game you're thinking of

[rotund crown]

regardless you'll want to start by learning the fundamentals, in my case i did iit by following a tutorial series on how to make a 2d topdown rpg
then i just built off of that

[rapid thunder]

well i just mean basic supermarket game just selling and stocking items just for now

[rich adder]

"basic" supermarket game

[keen cargo]

We really can't tell you what you need to learm

[rich adder]

start with basics of c#

[rapid thunder]

and also i dont plan doing 2d stuff rn should i watch them

[keen cargo]

There's so much out there to learn that it will quite literally take them hours to list off all possible things you'd need to learn

[rich adder]

make a console app that manages some product items. Simple buy / sale logic

[keen cargo]

Also yes learning 2D is very useful

[rapid thunder]

okay thanks guys

[tall delta]

I understand what you're trying to ask, and people her do want to help. but the question is a bit wrong, because what you need to learn to make a "basic supermarket", is the same as what you need for a "basic shooter game" or a "basic rpg", "basic pong", etc, etc. it's a broad field. what you really need to ask is "how do I get started making games?"

the skills will transfer 🙂

[rapid thunder]

so im just following all unity tutorials

[rotund crown]

hmm, i want to modify the width of a UI gameobject with a rectransform component
how should declare it in serialize field so i can access the recttransform property and edit it?

oh wait should i declare it as a gameobject and like getcomponent recttransform on it

[polar acorn]

There is basically no reason to ever make a field of type GameObject

use the component you actually want

.gameObject from a component is basically free.
.GetComponent() from a GameObject is slow as balls

[brave robin]

Only reason to declare a field of GameObject is if you only ever want to set it active or inactive

Or if its a prefab you're instantiating and don't need anything else

( might be more reasons, but not many )

[rotund crown]

hm okay so my thought process is right

why is it a 'temporary value' then?

[brave robin]

It's a struct, so if you want to modify it in this case you'll need to declare a new one with the values you want and then assign it to circleShrink's rect

[rotund crown]

oh weiird i guess that works though

[brave robin]

In this case, the struct it's giving you is a copy of the real one. So its warning you that modifying the copy will do nothing.

[rotund crown]

so i have to make a new recttransform, copy over the properties of circleshrink, then change the width property, then assign that as the new value for circleshrink

[polar acorn]

circleShribk.rect returns a copy of the rect. Modifying the width of the copy doesn't actually affect circleShrink
You'd need to store the rect, modify it, then set circleShrink.rect to the new one

[polar acorn]

Not a RectTransform. A Rect

[tall delta]

not sure if you're being facetious. but my point is that: moving a character is moving a character, looking with the mouse is looking with the mouse, selling an item is selling an item. regardless of the game / genre. so there is no answer to the question "how do I make a supermarket simulator". what you need to do is break the game down in to small tangible mechanics (like looking with a mouse, clicking a button) than start to learn those things in small incremental steps as you slowly start building your project.

[rotund crown]

wait a minute
if circleShrink is only a copy of the actual rectTransform variable of the gameobject
how do i set the actual gameobject's rect?

[brave robin]

circleShrink is not the copy, the rect of circleShrink is a copy
Make a new rect with the values you need, and set circleShrink's rect to it

[rotund crown]

how do i set circleShrink's rect?

[brave robin]

circleShrink.rect = new Rect( .. values you want go here.. );

if you're only changing its width, you can copy the values from the existing rect for the other aspects

[rotund crown]

hm, it says it has no setter

[north kiln]

rect transforms are annoying

[rotund crown]

oo wait circleShrink.rect.set() seems interesting

[north kiln]

No

[rotund crown]

fair enough

[north kiln]

Use .sizeDelta

[brave robin]

ah, yes, it was sizeDelta. I forgot that rect is just a read only

[north kiln]

.rect is a property and Rect is a struct. Structs are copied by value, so any time you retrieve from the property a copy is made

so .Set would modify that copy and throw it away

[brave robin]

and yes, rect transform is annoying. I always need a refresher every time I dive back into them

[brave robin]

So it has a Set() method, but no property setter?

[north kiln]

Rect defines Set

[rotund crown]

okay so basically do what i did but instead of rect use sizedelta

[north kiln]

RectTransform defines rect and it only has a get

Pretty much. It has a lot of caveats though depending on how the rect transform is set up

It depends how the recttransform is anchored

[brave robin]

Ah, looked up Set(), yeah that would do nothing useful in this case, since again it's just modifying the copy from the property

[rotund crown]

there we go

no errors

yay it's working

[north kiln]

Note there's a Vector2.Lerp that could simplify this to practically one line

[naive pawn]

i don't think that would make it very readable

[rotund crown]

circleShrinkTime should decrease from 1 to 0 over 14 seconds right?

[rotund crown]

truue

[naive pawn]

i think most direct (to logic) would be something like

float r = Mathf.Lerp(...);
circleShrink.sizeDelta = new Vector2(r, r) + circleShrink.sizeDelta;

[rocky canyon]

how do you if a float like that?

oh nvm im blind

[naive pawn]

approximately, yeah?

[rotund crown]

hmmm, then why is it doing it over half a second

[naive pawn]

i feel like adding such small deltas could encounter floating-point issues, but probably not...

[rotund crown]

and i increased it to /140 and it was about 1 second

[naive pawn]

what does circleShrinkTime start as?

[rotund crown]

one

heh

wait maybe it needs to be 1f
nope that wasnt it

[mighty compass]

Found this picture online, figured it would be useful for beginners

[rotund crown]

eh well that worked

[naive pawn]

it's not entirely true though (fixed update is an extra loop to the update cycle)

[north kiln]

https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.0/Documentation/Manual/execution-order.html

[polar acorn]

Start circleShrinkTime at 14, subtract Time.deltaTime every frame, and use circleShrinkTime / 14 as your Lerp t parameter

[mighty compass]

it gets called at a predetermined point during the update cycle correct?

[rocky canyon]

no, fixed update is independent of the update loop

[mighty compass]

Oh, well thats a much better summary LOL

[rocky canyon]

update loop runs as often as ur frame-rate..

fixed does not

[rotund crown]

does color.a have a range of 0-255 or a range of 0-1?

[rocky canyon]

0-1

[naive pawn]

it can get called multiple times

[mighty compass]

depending on your Time settings and cpu right?

[naive pawn]

and the diagram you showed doesn't indicate any sort of loop, so that kinda misses out

[mighty compass]

okay well im never using that website for unity help again

[rotund crown]

oh no, is this another sizedelta vs rect situation
how do i set color

[mighty compass]

I dont even remember where I got it from

[rocky canyon]

its the general idea..

but leaves out lots of detail about the FixedUpdate and stuf

[mighty compass]

I c'

[rocky canyon]

the one from the Unity Docs is lot better

#💻┃code-beginner message

[naive pawn]

depends on the tickrate, which is configured, and framerate, which depends on target framerate, vsync, cpu, gpu, etc

[eager elm]

this is an extension method that I use

[naive pawn]

extract the color into a variable
change the a value
assign it back onto the property

[rocky canyon]

moddedColor.a = desiredValue;
img.color = moddedColor;```

[rocky canyon]

col is for collider! (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻

lol

[naive pawn]

col is for column

[rocky canyon]

lol also acceptable!

[naive pawn]

-# col is for colander

[polar acorn]

col is for collisseum! Get that Dizana's Quiver!

#💻┃code-beginner message

[rotund crown]

hm, why is playerObject.Transform destroyed?

on game startup it works fine, but when i transition to another scene and then back, it says it has been destroyed

[quick pollen]

maybe you create it on start?

[rotund crown]

nope the playerobject is just part of the scene, and is never deleted

[quick pollen]

tbf you shouldnt be using Find in the first place

[polar acorn]

Whenever you change scenes, everything in the old scene is destroyed

[rotund crown]

i know, but i'm just doing it for debug reasons in this case

[polar acorn]

Considering the usage of Singleton in this snippet, you probably have something DontDestroyOnLoad, so it's referencing an object in a scene that no longer exists

[rotund crown]

ah you're right maybe it's talking about that space's transform

can i make that variable accessible by other functions without making it static?
(so it gets re-initialized on scene load)

[polar acorn]

You could just get a reference to the object normally instead of it being a singleton

[rotund crown]

heh it's not even a singleton i just called it that, yeah that should work

[golden notch]

inputText = GameObject.Find("Chat Input (TMP)").GetComponent<TextMeshPro>(); is returning null, I have deugged and checked that GameObject.Find("Chat Input (TMP)") is correct and not null. What is going on here?

[rich adder]

thats not TextMeshPro..

also you should not be searching for components like this (GameObject.Find)

[rich adder]

TMP_InputText

most textmesh pro you should use is TMP_ prefixed
text is just TMP_Text that works for UI and mesh version

[golden notch]

thanks, i didn't know that

so i'm supposed to have it as a public variable at the top and assign it in the inspector?

[rich adder]

ideally

[golden notch]

aight

[rich adder]

there are occasions where you'd use runtime search method / singletons etc.

https://unity.huh.how/references/serialized-references

[golden notch]

is there a way to hide a public variable from the inspector?

[rich adder]

[HideInInspector]
easily googleable
https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.0/Documentation/ScriptReference/HideInInspector.html

[grand snow]

it is STILL SERIALIZED EVEN WHEN HIDDEN

[NonSerialized] will hide AND not serialize it

i shout cus its easy to forget and get fucked by it later 😆

[rich adder]

its rare you should use public though. Use properties for public gets and private vars
inspector for private is[SerializeField] private to avoid using public as default for inspector

[sand field]

So I'm following Unity's own tutorials right now, and I am in Unit 3. The lesson is making a jumping minigame using the AddForce method, and my code and the settings in the inspector are EXACTLY the same from what I see, but when I play the game the character flies way off into the sky, meanwhile the video's character does a normal jump.
First image is my code, second is the video's.

    {
        if (currentlyVisible)

            }
        }
    }```
`fader.closeWindow();` is causig a stack overflow, and it seems that GetComponentsInChildren gets the root object as well, how do i avoid that?

[rich adder]

if you use a for loop you can skip the first element

recursive calls are pretty dangerous if there isn't a way to exit gracefully

[rotund crown]

can anybody recommend an example 3d project i can download so i can look through it and see how things like meshes, materials, and scripts are incorporated?

[rich adder]

in what way ? every project is very different..

each person / team does their own system, its all very specific

[rotund crown]

just any publicly available one, i'm aware that there's alot of self expression in script but seeing how they did things provides a helpful perspective regardless

[rich adder]

idk the usual places like github, unity asset store, blog sites etc

unity also has https://github.com/unity-technologies

[rotund crown]

mmkay i'll have a looksee

[rapid thunder]

there are no version 6 is it a problem ? can i do it

[rich adder]

aside a few minor api changes, and editor UI nothing has changed

[golden notch]

at least i know now next time i want to loop children for a class that the root also contains.

[sour fulcrum]

In fairness the GetComponentsInChildren() function name is a little misleading with how it includes the parent

[golden notch]

yes yes

[rich adder]

in an ideal situation you could store them in an array on the parent then just access the parent's array through a public property

[golden notch]

hmm i could do that yes and then i might not need to put those fade scripts everywhere

[rich adder]

https://refactoring.guru/design-patterns/mediator

[golden notch]

Hmmm... i'd need to store more data for each one, the targetAlpha numbers will be different for each item

already doing that tbh, just had to make new fade scripts for each one

[rich adder]

thats fine for the component to be there, its just easier to have a "mediator" you access to do further things instead of accessing children directly

[golden notch]

so like two scripts? one for main logic and one for crutial settings per object?

[rich adder]

so like you would call closeWindow() on a the parent, then that script handles the SimpleFadeScript() on its own from there, like closing or whatver else

unless the closeWindow is already on the parent then nvm , just use Serialized array instead of GetComponentInChildren
[SerializeField] private SimpleFadeScript[] simpleFades

[golden notch]

yeah i'm working on that atm

i might still need the fader scripts on all the objects since i am calling .closeWindow() on all of them

[sour fulcrum]

yeah thats fine

just get into the habit of trying to avoid acknowleding any parent/child relationships when it comes to code

its worth remembering that c# was designed for itself and Unity is just something that uses it, so a lot of the ideal logic and workflow is designed for class to class conversations without all the gameobject shenanigans

Having 1 class control/manage a given group of """worker""" classes is really common too, not just in this example

very similar to how a business or store might have a manager in a department with many employees

[golden notch]

how do i change this to the one with the add button?

[sour fulcrum]

Array is fixed size, List is dynamic

[rich adder]

what type is AdditionalFaders ?

[grand snow]

wha no an array can be any size when editied in the inspector

somehow the drawer is broken?

[golden notch]

List<GameObject>

[sour fulcrum]

my b

[rich adder]

yea both array and list should have +/-

this could be a bug on Drawer

[grand snow]

do you have some custom inspector gui for this mono?

[earnest wind]

i dont understand for some reason either my code got cursed or i made a grave mistake somewhere please help

public void SettingOpen(string Name, string Description, string ExtensionName)
    {
        SettingNameText.text = Name;
        SettingDescription.text = Description;

        UpscalingFilter.gameObject.SetActive(false);
        MinMaxFPSAndPing.gameObject.SetActive(false);
        AutoColorFpsAndPing.gameObject.SetActive(false);
        BackroomsAutomaticRenderDistance.gameObject.SetActive(false);
        switch (ExtensionName)
        {
            case "UpscalingFilter":
                UpscalingFilter.gameObject.SetActive(true);
                break;
            case "MinMaxFPSAndPing&AutoColorFpsAndPing":
                MinMaxFPSAndPing.gameObject.SetActive(true);
                AutoColorFpsAndPing.gameObject.SetActive(true);
                break;
            case "BackroomsAutomaticRenderDistance":
                BackroomsAutomaticRenderDistance.gameObject.SetActive(true);
                break;
        }
    }

BackroomsAutomaticRenderDistance does neither become On or Off, why? like when this void gets called and lets say its case UpscalingFilter then UpscalingFilter gets on, and when its something else, the upscaling filter with everything else goes off too?

i mean yeah the code is kinda big but i can simplify it to remove the things that arent important so its easier to understand

also it gets called by other script, but the fact that it gets called, everything is working, but that object just doesnt set off or on is weird

[twin pivot]

Its easier to read

[earnest wind]

because it is assigned in editor

[earnest wind]

okay give me one sec

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

[teal viper]

Add logs right after the lines where your you activate/deactivate it and see if they print.

[grand snow]

if ExtensionName doesn't match a case it will just disable everything. Best to add a default: case to inform you when this happens.

[earnest wind]

yeah thats the point, it doesnt disable at all

the last object

but the other objects get disabled

AutoColorFpsAndPing gets disabled for example

BackroomsAutomaticRenderDistance doesnt

[teal viper]

Also log the name of the object with the object passed as a second parameter:
DebugLog("BARD deactivated", BackroomsAutomaticBlabla);

[earnest wind]

okay so this line at the end of the code gets activated every time

[teal viper]

Then click the log message to see what it select.

[earnest wind]

why, thats so weird

[teal viper]

How do you know that?

A breakpoint?

[earnest wind]

because i deleted that line and it now sets off

[teal viper]

Then that case is true🤷‍♂️

There's no other way it would run that line.

[earnest wind]

thats really weird honestly

[teal viper]

Use logs or breakpoints as I suggested to see where this is called from.

[earnest wind]

okay i am not joking i just put this at the end (the e case) just to check things and now its gone, and there is no debug log at all

[teal viper]

What's gone?

[earnest wind]

this is really weird honestly

[earnest wind]

the BackroomsAutomaticRenderDistance now sets on when needed

only on that case

and e never goes off. never prints

[golden notch]

how do i get a list to show up with this in the inspector?

[teal viper]

Could be some issue with code compilation. Maybe it was using a way older version of the code.

[teal viper]

Does the issue reappear if you erase the e case?

[earnest wind]

should i just switch to if statements? because this is just random to me honestly

[keen cargo]

don't think if statements would help here

[teal viper]

Add elements to it in the inspector.

[earnest wind]

let me check

the bug went away

[teal viper]

No. There's nothing wrong with a switch. It's like doubting that 2x2=4

[earnest wind]

what the hell...

when i deleted the "e" case it just went away

so im on the same code when i encountered the problem, but no more problem

thats so weird..

[teal viper]

Yeah, so it was likely an issue with code compilation and ide interaction. Happens sometimes.

Make sure your !ide is configured correctly. That would make it less likely to happen.

[eternal falcon]

[golden notch]

i think imma backtrack and use te get element children

idk, it's already difficult to assign multiple things

[grand snow]

editor button to auto fill list is the way (e.g. using [ContextMenu] or naughty attributes button)

[golden notch]

You probably need to assign the additionalFaders variable of the SimpleFadeScript script in the inspector.
UnityEngine.GameObject.GetComponent[T] () (at <028e4d71153d4ed5ac6bee0dfc08aa3b>:0)
SimpleFadeScript.closeWindow () (at Assets/SimpleFadeScript.cs:78)
SimpleFadeScript.closeWindow () (at Assets/SimpleFadeScript.cs:78)
UIChatBoxHandler.Start () (at Assets/Scripts/User Interface/UIChatBoxHandler.cs:42)```
But it IS in the inspector, and it IS assigned as a new entity, why is this doing this?

it only seems to happen on one of the scripts

[north kiln]

Check every script of that type in the scene by searching it

[golden notch]

i double clicked th error and it sent me to the main script on te shatbox window

[teal viper]

Don't double click it. Click it once. It should highlight the relevant objects in the scene.

[golden notch]

yeah it looks like the main one

[north kiln]

Is this SimpleFadeScript?

[golden notch]

yes

[north kiln]

additionalFaders is an array?
I didn't expect it to report the error you're seeing

[rotund crown]

what is this syntax? what are ? and : doing

[north kiln]

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/language-reference/operators/conditional-operator

[rotund crown]

ah i see so it returns the first one if the first rand is 0, else it returns the second one

[golden notch]

it was a list and now it's an array and it is still giving me that error

[north kiln]

Can you link to the script?

[golden notch]

https://hastebin.com/share/haviladupo.csharp

it only complains when it's not empty

tried both List<GameObject> and GameObject[]

[north kiln]

I suspect you're still just not looking at the actual script with the unassigned value, and you should search the scene. But the error honestly makes very little sense to see on a serialised array, nor coming from getComponent()[]

[golden notch]

how do i even search the scene for components?

there's only one SimpleFadeScript in my assets

[north kiln]

https://unity.huh.how/scene-view/searching

Also, that looks like an infinite loop to me, as GetComponentsInChildren<SimpleFadeScript>() will also return itself.
You never use otherfaders so it's not (it's pointless instead). But if you did!

[golden notch]

oh, it didn't do anythign until i typed th ewhole name in

that's why i thought it didn't work

ok so that's done, but one of my things won't fade now

ok it works now

so i guess it is a bug, as it directed me to the main skript instead of where the issue actually was

    }
}
``` is there any better way to randomize the position in the PipePosi function? no matter how much i change the values i cant seem to get it right it either goes inside of each other or too close to the other pipes

does it have to be an inputbox to be able to select the text?

The expression within the if statement would need to be true for Pipe Position to be called.

I'm going to assume that has-clone was false as initialized (not modified from the editor inspector) but the distance was not less than 0.1f

[golden notch]

is there a way to allow scrolling even if hovering over an input field?

UIChatBoxHandler.updateTime () (at Assets/Scripts/User Interface/UIChatBoxHandler.cs:111)```
but it still sets the value, idk if it's because it's an invokerepeating or not

[slender nymph]

if code after the line the error occurs on is running then you have more than one copy of that component in the scene where the error is occurring on a copy of the component you aren't looking at

[golden notch]

there is no duplicate though

only one of them is in the inspector

[slender nymph]

show the relevant code

[golden notch]

but it does seem to run twice

    {
        //...
        InvokeRepeating("updateTime", 1f, 1f);
    }

    public void updateTime()
    {
        Debug.Log(localCharacter);
        localCharacter.text = "Localhoster" + "\n" + System.DateTime.Now.ToString("HH:mm:ss");
    }

literally only this

[slender nymph]

then the only possible explanation if it is being set correctly is that you do have another copy of the component in the scene. search t:UIChatBoxHandler in the hierarchy during play mode when you see this error

[golden notch]

there was somehow

got it removed now

[cosmic dagger]

That's what you should always check. If you have an error for a variable that is not assigned but you check and it is, then there is a duplicate script somewhere . . .

[golden notch]

aight thanks

[slender nymph]

code does not exist in a quantum state where it is simultaneously working but throwing an exception too

[golden notch]

maybe in a quantum computer

[teal viper]

Thankfully you can't run games on a quantum computer yet

[golden notch]

when it says limit of one line that's what it means... i was thinking limit of one line break.

[polar acorn]

A quantum computer running synchronous code still cannot be both errored and not

[golden notch]

just learned about content size fitter but it doesn't seem to taks bottom alignment

[golden notch]

ok so i added a vertical layout group and content size fitter and now my script is buggy, when it scrolls to bottom it is always one item behind.

and i can't get the scrollbar to show up again

ok i got the scrollbar to show up again

Hey I'm trying to make a 2D rotating platfrom that rotates clockwise or counterclockwise based on bullets falling on it on the left or right side Rightnow I'm stuck figuring out where how to invert the rotation , Should I post the code and the stuff I tried or is that a different channel? Absolute begineer

Or should I post it in the physics Channel?

[twin pivot]

might be easier to use animations for that and trigger those animations when the bullets hit a collider

just one suggestion tho

[bronze sinew]

I'm a completer begineer, Can you share a reference of what you mean? Is it like, there's an if statement that triggers an preset animation of the platform when it passes a certain threshold?

[north scroll]

is there a reason why a camera's FOV would change at runtime ? It kept happening to my main camera so I just added another one and I added no scripts or has any references, and when I run the scene that camera's FOV also switches from 60 to 111.something. I was trying to do some animation sequencing with Timeline, and no cinemachine installed

[wintry quarry]

Shouldn't happen unless you have some component that's doing it, no.

[north scroll]

interesting, I changed it to physical camera and it stays at 60

....is the bot down again

[proper moth]

idk

[naive pawn]

ah there we go

[proper moth]

for some reason when i have 2 nav agents only one moves

nvm i found th issue

i was baking every object instead of just only baking the floor

[serene cosmos]

hii on line 41, it says the object is not set to an instance, what can i do to fix this?

[proper moth]

eh i cant figure it out either

[frail hawk]

you need to post code as code and also all of the script so we can see what "EnemyManager" is

Guys does anyone knows why my IDE isnt auto compleating? And Yes I #854851968446365696 read it but Idk why it still wont work

I even have it installed

[rocky canyon]

is it set as the default external editor in the unity project?

[dry pulsar]

where can I see it?

that?

[rocky canyon]

no this

!ide 👇 this is a good embed.. has pretty much every solution
