And maybe thats the Problem

Maybe I got it.

I download it now

Got It TYSM

This doesn't make any sense

Did you forget the * or something

[polar loom]

Lowk I wrote this at 3:00am I don’t even remember

[wintry quarry]

Well I'm showing you now

You can see clearly this doesn't make sense right?

[polar loom]

yeah now that im looking back at it

[green karma]

does anyone know how I can make a newton's cradle

only the script side

or is there any asset or tutorial

[rocky canyon]

lots of tweeking

u cant really rely onphysics alone

[rocky canyon]

i actually did get it somewhat working.. but not by using any type of realism

[green karma]

I understand how it should be done but its too complicated for something for simple

yeah same

swapping force between the balls colliding

[rocky canyon]

mmhmm thats how i did it as well

[green karma]

but it wont work either 😢 it will break when you pull 2 balls

[rocky canyon]

i almost got it working with realistic physics.. but it slows down way too fast

to make it anything like a real craddle u need to hand-hold it

[green karma]

hand hold?

btw you made it just now?

[rocky canyon]

basically write a controller that handles everything

[green karma]

it took me 3 hours 😢

[rocky canyon]

the collisions, the forces, etc

[green karma]

yeah

[rocky canyon]

oh heck no.. it took me about a week

[green karma]

oh okay XD

[rocky canyon]

i cant find the original tho... just the clip

[green karma]

no worries

[rocky canyon]

found it

im cheating by adding forces to the last balls

if i can find the script/setup i'll share it too

[polar loom]

Fixed the script and I gotta fix my ide cause it ain’t showing but my low grav script works now so we chillin

lol.. made it 3 years ago... apparently my organization skills weren't that great back then..
i know its on github somewhere just can't find it 😅

Hey guys So I'm making a game that transitions between levels, based on time. The visual scene is the same just the spawning objects frequency and pattern changes. I'm a complete begineer, should I setup a state machine for this?

[rocky canyon]

sounds like a good use of a statemachine 👍

It is code of my transfer between scenes

https://hastebin.com/share/icovusucut.csharp
It is code of my cutscene. We need to method of DestroyZombie

I want to transfer data from one scene to another. For example, I want to make it so that when the DestroyZombie method occurs, then in another scene there is a debug.log stating that this method occurred.

Help, please, I watch guides, but it didn't help me

[grand snow]

There are many ways to "keep data" through scenes. If its a MonoBehaviour instance, you can use DontDestroyOnLoad() to make the gameobject never be destroyed on scene change.
You can also keep data in some other class instance and utilize static (e.g. static fields in a class to keep important data or have some class instance be passed to all loaded scenes)

Can also use additive scene loading to keep some scenes always loaded but remove/add some others.

[quick pollen]

the most mainstream method though is via ScriptableObjects

[rocky canyon]

i like additive scenes

[frail hawk]

SO for Scene changes?

you gotta explain that please

[rich adder]

they are talking about storing data through an SO

[frail hawk]

hm k

[rich adder]

since SO do not erase their data until the game is run again. (they revert back to the original value game was build with)
In Unity editor they don't reset themselves

The actual log is too long to post in a discord message but follows the same trend

[rich adder]

did you change one of these ?

or maybe something else

[edgy prism]

Not intentionally, in all honesty I just got a new dog and hes taken to running across my keyboard like a maniac so theres a decent chance hes done something, where can I find that setting?

[rich adder]

ohh sorry it got cropped lol yeah the 3 dots menu on the console

check there but doubt if it was a keyboard mash could've been a shortcut for something else.

[edgy prism]

Theyre all set to full so it looks like thats the case

[rich adder]

ahh maybe then yea

[edgy prism]

Ok interesting update that seems to be it but whenever I enter playmode it reverts to full

[rich adder]

now thats wonky..

some type of editor script somehow doing it ? thats a rough one...

[edgy prism]

Hahha nope got it I was just in playmode when I changed it the first time and didnt notice

Thanks for your help thats been driving me insane and the knowledge to identify that so quick is impressive

[keen cargo]

i highly highly recommend to set up your editor in a way that it changes colour when you are in playmode, it helps so much

Preferences > Colors > Playmode tint

[edgy prism]

Oh that’s a great tip Thankyou

[earnest wind]

How can i change the Fast sRGB? its only get but not set

never mind i found a way

oh wait that was only for editor

anyone know?

yeah i dont think there are any ways

[whole osprey]

Changing that at runtime is probably not possible. Not sure why you would want to do that.

#🌐┃web

ohh ok it was white on white..

some browsers you have to click inside the webgl/iframe iirc

[ruby sparrow]

to reach the point with fp controls, we have the player click on a START button so I think that's covered?

[rich adder]

is this happening just on webgl or also on regular build ?

on regular build its a-ok

[quick pollen]

So I have a small conundrum:
I have some visual effects that I want to play at specific times, but I'm having problems with setting the rotations for it
I found the timings for getting the rotations right, but the problem is that the effect plays late, and I don't know how to go about it

[ruby sparrow]

at least, in editor it does

[quick pollen]

here I have that purple slash effect

this one

and because I found the correct rotations through movement, idk how to "save" it, so I can play the effect earlier

is there a way to do this maybe?

if I play the effect earlier, then, because the effect is attached to the sword and the sword is in a different angle, the rotation will be different

[woven scaffold]

where do i ask for asset store publishing help?

[crisp token]

does unity have some form of dependency injection

[gentle bone]

not sure if its so hard to put 3 words into google "unity dependency injection"

[night mural]

yep, 'dragging references via the inspector'

you can get some libraries which will make all of that much more complicated if you want though

[crisp token]

yeah I was kinda realizing it may not have been smart to go for a single monobehavior root for my player

[night mural]

I don't think that dependency injection will help you at all there

character controllers are inherently very coupled and quite complex

[crisp token]

true, its just annoying having to pass around references through large hierarchies

[night mural]

if you have a bunch of non-movement code in there or something though, that's worth pulling out

[night mural]

yeah, I would prefer to avoid those versus adding a bunch of plumbing so that you can mostly pretend they don't exist

anyway, people do use zenject and there's other ones too

I just wouldn't unless you have a very good reason (like you're working on a size of team where extreme decoupling is important)

[crisp token]

yeah prob not worth it for now

just kinda a mess

[night mural]

well you're always welcome to post some code and maybe people will have advice on how to decouple it

it's just that good code mostly comes from meeting the specific needs of a situation, not applying some general pattern globally

so you gotta do what you gotta do, and it's hard to offer real advice without something concrete to work from

[crisp token]

I can descrbie the pattern im using; there's no real need for me to post the files (too many of them)

To keep it simple, any class that kinda acts as a root class or a manager class passes a reference of itself to any objects it creates, and then those root classes kinda act like a hub so that all the objects instantiated in them can access stuff from all the other instantiated in them

idk dont worry about it, I think im fine tbh

[night mural]

yeah, sounds backwards to me

most games make more sense when you think top down than bottom up

instead of telling individual objects what to do and having them all reference managers which they then need to delegate that to, you can have your objects be stupider and let the managers manage them directly

I see very little value in the kind of indirection you're describing (though if you do, that's cool) and as you say, it means you have to do some silly dependency management

[crisp token]

could you provide a simple example, if possible?

[crisp token]

true, I did make that mistake

[frigid sequoia]

What does this mean?? Should I be using something else?

[night mural]

not off the top of my head but you can look into ECS style architectures which take that approach to the extreme

[night mural]

What you're doing will create a new array and throw it away every time versus reusing one, which is less performant than it could be. I'd probably swap over since the differences are minimal, but it's unlikely to be a big deal unless you have a lot of whatever that component is.

[frigid sequoia]

It's a singleton

But better if I just do it rigth no?

[night mural]

yeah, I mean it's probably a micro-optimization that won't matter either way but I would prefer to not create the garbage

and the API is slightly different in a way that could be educational, so give it a go

[frigid sequoia]

Mmm, do I need to give the NonAlloc a maximum of hits?

Cause it's kinda unclear how many I would need tbh

[night mural]

yep, one of the things about programming with memory in mind is making those kinds of decisions ahead of time

ideally you wouldn't have so many collisions at once that it's a concern

[frigid sequoia]

Yeah, but it migth happen that the actual thing I am looking for is behind a bunch of non-related colliders

[night mural]

how about some layer masks

[frigid sequoia]

Yeah, should be doing that tbh

Everything it's on default for now

[olive axle]

Hay, I am looking to get into Unity. Are there any good resources I should know about for coding?

I have a lot of experience with C++ for microcontroller applications but I have yet to really work with C#.

[slender nymph]

there are beginner c# courses pinned in this channel and the pathways on the unity !learn site are a good next step

[eternal falcon]

:teacher: Unity Learn ↗

Over 750 hours of free live and on-demand learning content for all levels of experience!

[olive axle]

Thankyou very much!

I just sat down and did the basic moving cube.

It's my first time coding anything higher level. I have a lot to learn

Just found the unity 6 documentation. It should help a lot with things.

[golden notch]

is there a component that fades a texture into another one?

[brave robin]

Having also come from C++, I found C# to be pretty easy to settle into

[olive axle]

Yeah it feels very familiar. It feels like I mostly need to learn what unity can do.

[brave robin]

Planning out and executing higher level systems is also something I had to get better at. It didn't help that I'm making a simple RPG, and that's systems upon systems upon systems 😄

[olive axle]

I am coming off of a very difficult C++ project lol. So this is very fun.

I was working on a electronic board game that uses nfc tags to read what cards you played.

Dealing with learning a real time operating system to run on a esp32

[brave robin]

Now you get to make the game part of the game, and not worry about how the hardware interfaces with all of that

[fair shore]

Why in my game 4 pieces in wrong place and the other one is out of place with them, I think this is a code issue.

private Dictionary<GameObject, List<int>> piecedictionary = new Dictionary<GameObject, List<int>>();
public GameObject inventorycount;
void Start()
{   // Add pieces to the dictionary with their values (attack, number of pieces, number of rows )
   piecedictionary.Add(GameObject.Find("Prince"), new List<int> {675, 1, 1});
   piecedictionary.Add(GameObject.Find("Junior pawn"), new List<int> { 75, 12, 6 });
   piecedictionary.Add(GameObject.Find("Senior pawn"), new List<int> { 225, 8, 4 });
   piecedictionary.Add(GameObject.Find("Knight"), new List<int> { 400, 2, 2 });
   piecedictionary.Add(GameObject.Find("General"), new List<int> { 450, 2, 1 });
   
   foreach (GameObject key in piecedictionary.Keys)
   {      // Create a TextMeshPro object for each piece in the dictionary
       Vector3 offsetvector = new Vector3(-0.08f, -0.32f, 0);
       GameObject inventoryspawn = Instantiate(inventorycount, key.transform.position + offsetvector, Quaternion.identity);
       
   }
}```

[olive axle]

Yeah not having to minimize the file sizes to the max is nice.

"Did I use C style strings or C++ strings for this?"

type stuff

I had an Idea for a game I would like to make and it will be a fun side thing

[brave robin]

Are you expecting them to be in the order of prince, junior pawn, senior pawn, etc?

[olive axle]

My end goal for learning unity is a mech game with a unique high skill ceiling movement system.

[fair shore]

Yes but my issue is all 5 texts are not aligned, they should be aligned.

[brave robin]

Well dictionaries have no order when you foreach over them, they're stored in a way to make accessing by key quick, but this means they can't be iterated over in any expected order.
As for text, you mean the number on the icon?

[fair shore]

Yes it is

[brave robin]

Are the "Prince" and other items in the UI, or are they in the world? Because if they're UI then you don't want their transform, you want their RectTransform to place them properly

[fair shore]

No ui for those text.

[brave robin]

So the Pieces are in the world, and the "text" isn't really Text, it's a sprite of some kind?

It looks like the pieces are Images though, from the screenshot of your hierarchy

It will be much easier to place the UI Text on the UI Images exact position with that offset

[crisp token]

just read a short article on ECS. Their point was for systems where you really need multiple inherticance, ECS is the better choice. I think multiple inheritance and passing references around complex hierarchies are similar problems, so i get why you recommend it. Is your point that you could define state management classes as like entities/components that can be accessed from anywhere?

[brave robin]

Generally the "dumber" your low level monobehaviours are, the better. ECS just goes the extra step of having those components be nothing but data storage with no methods. The state management is handled by systems, which will take care of processing every entity based upon what components they have.

[night mural]

☝️ Yep, though you don't have to go that hard since it only makes sense for some things. You'll find that some code, especially presentation code, feels better with more 'doThis' kind of methods. It's just that they're then controlled by high level systems which can consider all the things they need to know, rather than individual agents who either have no context, or need to be passed all sorts of random context to do anything useful.

[brave robin]

I go a quasi-ECS route where I have separate systems classes that listen to events and process specific parts of my game. Helps prevent me from making god classes, when instead I can have a class just for leveling up, and another just for processing damage over time. Nicely compartmentalizes those mechanics.

[crisp token]

how do the high level systems have accesses to everything they need

[brave robin]

In pure ECS, they have access because the entities and their components do not hide any of their data. Its all public.

In something less extreme, you'd probably go with properties that manage some of it to prevent things getting out of hand.

[night mural]

Really however you want as long as systems have some way to query data. You could even use the unity scene and Find calls at initialization time and that would probably be ok. Depending on the game you're making, I would recommend either:

1. The managers are the sources of truth for everything, and so have references to whatever exists within their domain, either because they created it, or it registered itself with them at initialization time.
2. Your state is stored in a blob that's globally accessible.

or some combination, I guess

I sort of do both

[crisp token]

So like for a movement system, I'd have a movement state calculator system, A gravity calculator system, whatever kind of functionality I need I can have a system for. And then these all have access to the global state of entities as their input?

[night mural]

essentially, though movement is one of those things that tends to end up tightly coupled and I wouldn't fight that

again, everything depends on what you're making

[crisp token]

interesting, I doubt im going to make any changes to my movement system rn, but this is def good to know for the future

Just because its really a one time problem system with setting up the framework, which like you said is bound to be a mess for movement, but once its done modifying the system and adding behaviors would be straightforward

Appreciate it lads

[crisp token]

so you treat your monobehaviors as low level data inputs, and then send data "up" the hierarchy for processing?

[brave robin]

In pure ECS, nothing gets sent up. I haven't done much with it, but generally ECS can quickly iterate over all entities, so systems can see what entities with specific components need to be processed. Something without a bullet component gets ignored by the bullet system, and so on.

For something like what I'm doing, here's a UI example. I used to have AbilityButton which was a fancier Button that knew what Ability was assigned to it. The icon, the text, etc.

Eventually I realized that was unnecessary and tangled up. It was better for the button to just be what it is, it didn't need to know what ability was assigned to it. A layer above it would assign the correct icon and text to it, and add itself as a listener to the button being clicked. Then remove itself as a listener and clear out the button's icon and text when no longer in use, or set the button inactive altogether.

[night mural]

top-down

[night mural]

My monobehaviors are just how I display the gamestate to the user. They contain no game logic or meaningful game state themselves (but I wouldn't build all kinds of games that way)

[jade niche]

just got here 😋

[crisp token]

so I see the value of an ECS like setup / separation of data and behavior for things like buttons or whatever that have a lot of variation in how they can be setup or a lot of different behavior. For something like a movement system though, the complexity more comes from having a lot of systems needing to interact, not necessarily needing super modular design, so I'm having trouble seeing if it applies.

[jade niche]

so is there like a beginner's guide to programming lingo cuz i am confused XD

[crisp token]

programming lingo or programming?

[jade niche]

lowkey just lingo for the discord cuz there are alot of abbreviations i dont understand

[teal viper]

Google. Or ask ai. It's pretty good at explaining/rephrasing common concepts. Just make sure you include the context.
Or ask the person you heard it from. Sometimes people come up with words or abbreviations that don't event exist.

[jade niche]

sorry just nervous since im just starting out in here and script altogether

[crisp token]

nothing to apolgize for brotha

[night mural]

Well from the little you've said, my suggestion is to manage the complexity you've described through globally readable state and/or keeping your data flowing in one direction (top-down). Everything else is just perspectives on how you might do that.

[hallow rock]

this is not really a code but I need help.

[crisp token]

just one last question; even in ECS, can a system maintain some of its own state? Cause it doesnt really make sense to me how all the state would be separated

[hallow rock]

Im deving rn. And we cant open our studio using via playfab?

[night mural]

The idea is that you wouldn't need to, no. You do often need 'singleton state' of some kind though, which you can put on some kind of special entity for that purpose, or some ECS implementations include 'world state' which is a slightly neater version of that. Also note that this is all something you'd mostly use for gamestate, not UI state, which could live in systems if you wanted

[crisp token]

Ok that makes sense

[night mural]

and for communicating between systems, you'd usually add or remove components from an entity, or modify their existing components

[crisp token]

i'd assume the goal would be to limit the use of singleton entitys as much as possible? or no

[night mural]

you end up doing some things which feel slightly weird at first, like having a PlayerInputSystem which adds a WantsToMove component with some movement data, which is then processed by your actual MovementSystem to do the movement

the result of this though is that you're forced to keep everything data-driven which ends up being very useful in many cases

[night mural]

whatever works? I don't have a strong opinion

it'd depend on the game

I guess if you feel like you need a lot of those, maybe ECS isn't the best fit for that kind of game

[hallow rock]

Hello! Trying to fix a unity or playfab issue,

I dont know whats going on.

[ruby sparrow]

having this horrible issue where my game gradually allocates more memory until I hit memory exceeded and the webgl game just crashes and I dunno how to debug this! any help would be appreciated

[teal viper]

It's called a memory leak. You can debug it with the memory profiler.

You'd need to debug it in the editor or a desktop build though

[ruby sparrow]

should I be using the package? I tried to debug but like I don't really understand how to glean any info from the default profile

[teal viper]

The package would provide more info, yes. But you still should be able to make some conclusions based on the regular profiler.

[ruby sparrow]

so I got this thing pulled up now, how can I find any memory leaks or weird behavior?

[teal viper]

Is that during play mode?

[ruby sparrow]

yea

[teal viper]

Select a frame in the graph and it should show more info in the bottom tab.

[ruby sparrow]

and at this point idk how to interpret any of this

[teal viper]

You can look at what exactly is being allocated.

I haven't used the memory module in the regular profiler in a while, but in the memory profiler package, you can inspect different memory categories in details.

You should probably go and read the manual a bit on how to use it.

[ruby sparrow]

should I use the package then?

honestly I am under a lot of time pressure here to figure out something really quick

it's a game jam submission and the deadline is in like 12 hours

unfortunately the crash happens consistently - the game starts off using like 600 MB of memory and gradually increases until it exceeds roughly GB and taps out

[teal viper]

You'll need to spend some time learning how to use the necessary tools. There's no going around it. Granted, reading the manual shouldn't take too long. Maybe some 10-20 minutes depending on your experience.

[ruby sparrow]

when u say manual, do you mean for the profiling package

[teal viper]

That or the regular profiler. Depending on which one you want to use

[charred spoke]

Use the memory profiler package. Take a snapshot at the start. Wait a bit for memory to increase take another snapshot and compare them in the UI. Profit.

Hey everyone! I've opened Visual Studio for the first time via unity by following a Unity Begginer tutorial I found on YouTube. The guy says that I'm using things in C#, but that's not the language I plan on learning. Do I have to calibrate Visual Studio/Unity in order for it to accept C++ or does it just accept any language I feed it?

[slender nymph]

if you want to use unity you'll need to use c#

[regal flame]

c# is easer

[maiden estuary]

Alright sorry. I myself was thinking of the wrong language, turns our C# is what I'm using. Sorry to bother yall.

So am I using the wrong software?

[naive pawn]

no, it's valid; it's just not the one you said it was

[maiden estuary]

Shuld probably get what the tutorial has, thats probably smart.

[maiden estuary]

Ty.

[naive pawn]

it's visual studio mac in the video, that doesn't exist anymore (visual studio and visual studio mac are also completely different apps)

[maiden estuary]

So should I look for a diffeent video int hat case seeing as its using something so outdated it literally doesnt exist?

[naive pawn]

there are 3 main options, vscode, vs (windows only), rider. (in no particular order)
do you have experience with any of them (or any jetbrains products)

[naive pawn]

no, ide choice doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of things

it's just a tool to write code
there are plenty of tools that do approximately the same thing with small differences in usage

[maiden estuary]

I didnt even lknow Visual Studio existed until looking up this video, so no I dont have any experience

[dapper mirage]

Can someone please explain to me why this jitter is happening?

[maiden estuary]

Probably collider related?

Dunno why im responding like i could possibly know

[naive pawn]

ok, so imo just pick one and stick to it
your choice isn't final, but like i mentioned before, the 3 choices differ slightly, so if you get comfortable with one it'll be easier to work on that particular ide

[maiden estuary]

when searching for tutorials should I be searching my specific software?

[naive pawn]

how are you moving the character? physics, animation, or what?

[naive pawn]

no, the differences don't matter for actually making stuff

[dapper mirage]

movement.x = input * speed * Time.deltaTime;
transform.Translate(movement);```

[naive pawn]

you'd only need to search for your ide with stuff related to the act of writing code, like "find and replace" "find in project" "rename symbol" "find references" etc

[naive pawn]

and how are you doing collision?

[dapper mirage]

Im just using this built in stuff no code

[naive pawn]

a static rigidbody? is this on the terrain or on the player?

[dapper mirage]

Terrain

[ruby sparrow]

hm I've found that it's not a memory leak in the traditional sense but rather at specific point unity repeatedly tries to allocate memory until it goes up to 20+ GB on my editor before I kill the process lol

[dapper mirage]

This is the player

[naive pawn]

ok so you're using a rigidbody; that controls the transform. you shouldn't modify the transform directly, since it would conflict with the rigidbody's control, leading to unexpected results like you're seeing.

you have a rigidbody already, just use that for movement. the equivalent rigidbody control to the motion you have now would be setting the rigidbody's velocity.

it would be something like this (spoilered in case you want to figure it out yourself)
||```cs
Vector2 vel = rigidbody.velocity;
vel.x = input * speed;
rigidbody.velocity = vel;

[naive pawn]

btw @maiden estuary this message was for you, in case you missed it

[dapper mirage]

Thank you very much for the help :)

[maiden estuary]

why is it different

[rich adder]

which editor you have ?

if its not in the dropdown you missed a step

[maiden estuary]

yeah im running through the setup for Unity I think I just sety it up wrong

[rich adder]

you installed VS through hub?

[maiden estuary]

i dont even remember shits been on my pc for almost 2 years

so I just redownloaded it and am re-setting it up

[rich adder]

then you should probably make sure you have the unity workload first

[maiden estuary]

well i got the thing for unity from the checkboxes, so thats a start

Im usint the guide in the bot

[rich adder]

checkboxes?

did you restart unity after you installed unity workload

[maiden estuary]

I should restart unity yeah

[maiden estuary]

What have I done wrong here? It wont let me enter play mode, and I'm not seeing any indicator, if there is one, as to what I've done wrong.

[teal viper]

The class scope is not closed.

[maiden estuary]

the what

[teal viper]

Class

Scope

Do you know what the curly braces are for?

[maiden estuary]

Guys Im watching says theyre like fences that make sure that this code is only executed once th egate has been opened

which is the code that I am currently trying to execute

[maiden estuary]

related image

[teal viper]

This explanation doesn't make sense.

The curly braces define the scope of class/structs/methods and other code structures. They define what belongs where.

And they always come in pair. If there is an opening brace, there must be a closing one

[maiden estuary]

But mine are closed are they not?

[teal viper]

Count the open and close ones and see for yourself

[maiden estuary]

Theres 2 {, and 2 }

[teal viper]

No

[maiden estuary]

Or am I just dumb

[teal viper]

There are 3 opening ones.

4 if you count inside methods

[maiden estuary]

what

huh?

What the fuck am I

Im sorry its like 4am I am rather

tired and I am very confused

[teal viper]

So, does that fix your issue?

[maiden estuary]

No

not

really

[teal viper]

Makes sense?

[naive pawn]

there's an indicator right here
might be a bit hard to see, so check the console/problems tab as well

[maiden estuary]

where the hell is that

[naive pawn]

on the last line

[maiden estuary]

No the problems tab mb

[maiden estuary]

so wait aminute, how is this not closing it?

is this supposed to be in reverse?

[teal viper]

Did you have a look at my screenshot?

[maiden estuary]

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOH

WHAT WAIT WHAT THE FUCK

srry caps

[teal viper]

First of all, you can hover over the code underlined with red to get a popup. And then you can also open/dock the errors tab if it's by default

[naive pawn]

oh, no clue for vs

ah there you go

[maiden estuary]

So wait a minute

[naive pawn]

it's not closing the class, it's closing the method

[maiden estuary]

{ leaves it open, correct?

[naive pawn]

you didn't have anything closing the class

[maiden estuary]

how do I accomp[lish that?

Ive made bar for bar what this guide is telling me

have I not?

[naive pawn]

}

[fair shore]

    [SerializeField] private GameObject slot;
    private GameObject[] slots;
    // Start is called before the first frame update
    void Start()

        }

        foreach (GameObject key in piecedictionary.Keys)
        {
            int dictionaryindex = piecedictionary.Keys.ToList().IndexOf(key); // Get the index of the key in the dictionary  
            // Create a TextMeshPro object for each piece in the dictionary
            Vector3 offsetvector = new Vector3(-0.08f, -0.32f, 0);
            GameObject inventoryspawn = Instantiate(inventorycount, slots[dictionaryindex].transform.position + offsetvector, Quaternion.identity);
        }
    }``` There is an error called index was outside the bounds of the array, how to make the index in the bounds of the array or the array outside the piece index.

[naive pawn]

you have not

[teal viper]

Probably not.

[teal viper]

Start with reading the whole error details and the line of code that throws it.

[maiden estuary]

So then what have I done wrong? How is Image One different from Image Two?

[naive pawn]

they aren't different

[maiden estuary]

Then why does his work and mine doesnt?

[naive pawn]

but there are other differences in the file

buddy slow down

every { needs a corresponding }

you've successfully done that for Update

[teal viper]

The image on the left only shows part of the code. Specifically the method definition. It doesn't show anything about the class that it's in.

[naive pawn]

you have not successfully done that for the entire BirdScript class

there's a { right here. where's its corresponding }?

the error should be telling you, "} expected"

or i guess "unexpected EOF", not sure

[fair shore]

the error: ``` GameObject inventoryspawn = Instantiate(inventorycount, slots[dictionaryindex].transform.position...);

[maiden estuary]

I have added this and the program is noticable more angry at me than it was before

[naive pawn]

how so

[maiden estuary]

before

[teal viper]

Ok, so it is likely on the slots[...] line. The error means that the array length is <= the index that you pass in.

[naive pawn]

why do you have dictionaryindex anyways
dictionaries don't have indices

[maiden estuary]

after

[naive pawn]

yeah you put it in the wrong spot lol

[teal viper]

Because this is not where you add it.

[maiden estuary]

oh my fucking god I see it

[teal viper]

You should probably start with the basics !learn

you're saying the class is empty, and then you have a bunch of random code after it
} needs to go at the end, meaning the other parts are inside the class

[maiden estuary]

there we fucken go

As soon as I noticed theres not a } at the bottom i instantly got it

The way the tutorial cut fucked me ut

[naive pawn]

are you ever going to do like, piecedictionary[piece]? if not, you should probably just use a list of structs where the structs have the gameobject and the list of ints

[maiden estuary]

ty and I apologize for my density

[naive pawn]

even if you are, you should not have that dictionaryindex thing
instead, extract the keys list out into a separate variable, and then loop over that with a c-style for loop

[maiden estuary]

Im currently watchign a tutorial for a begginer

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XtQMytORBmM&t=351s&ab_channel=GameMaker'sToolkit

[teal viper]

This doesn't really teach you proper C# basics, so you should look up something on that separately.

[maiden estuary]

I plan on using CS-50 for it, I just thought learning the actual engine itself would be better off at first

I mean it just seems logical to understand how to use the paper before using the pencil

[formal valley]

how can I make a good jump like when he jump he continue at his speed but when he go to opposite direction it move slowly.

don't ping specific people for help, just bump your question

[formal valley]

no just you always help me soo........

[naive pawn]

i have no idea what you want lol

gonna need more context

[formal valley]

you know crash bandicoot right?
when he jump, in the air he continue at his speed to the direction but when he goes opposite direction it goes slow down( it's hard for him to getcontroll on mid air)
and sorry for ping.

[naive pawn]

i don't

so.. sounds like you want reduced air control?

[formal valley]

yeah

[sour fulcrum]

the answer is kinda just re-arranging the sentence 😄

reduce the control while in air

[formal valley]

english 50 50.

😅

[sour fulcrum]

fair, I mean more about pointing out how to think about the problem logically than specifically language though

breaking down what you want into the separate steps

[naive pawn]

how do you have movement currently?

what's the current issue with it?

[formal valley]

3d unity
void Update()
{
ForBack = Input.GetAxis("Vertical");
LeftRight = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal");

    Vector3 move = new Vector3(LeftRight, 0f , ForBack)* speed;
    Vector3 newVelocity = new Vector3(move.x, rb.linearVelocity.y, move.z);
    rb.linearVelocity = newVelocity;


    if(Input.GetButtonDown("Jump") && IsGrounded()){
        rb.AddForce(Vector3.up * JumpForce, ForceMode.Impulse);

[dark vine]

so im trying to run a collision for a bunker, replicating space invaders. and for some reason this code will only detect the missiles and not the invader. i have the exact same code for the player, and it works for the player, idk if its the collisions. anything i should be looking for? ive got it on the right collision layer, but am stumped?

[naive pawn]

make sure the collision in question matches the matrix
https://unity.huh.how/physics-messages/trigger-matrix-2d

[dark vine]

oh ur a life saver. needed a rigidbody on my invaders. thank you, thats a nice little chart

[jade niche]

hello again im starting to learn C# language so i can understand script a little better using some lesson thingy called brilliant honestly its pretty fun to use

[umbral bough]

Is there a way to execute OnEnable in both play and edit mode but not affect other functions?
If I add [ExecuteAlways] on the class, all the methods will execute in editor, which is not what I want.

[naive pawn]

you could check for Application.isPlaying in other functions, i guess? i don't know of any other way

[umbral bough]

yeah, but that requires editing all the other functions, thanks either way

[quick fractal]

I would've just used a ContextMenu item if you don't want stuff getting run in editor

Not fully, anyway

[gray coral]

why the icon within my invetory bar is pressed like this.

[strong wren]

Avoid nonuniform scaling to resize things. Use the rect tool [T] or width and height properties to resize UI elements.

[nimble apex]

can u isolate that function or features to a script?

[umbral bough]

thought of that too, not a really good solution

it's fine either way, I made all the functions work properly with ExecuteAlways now so ye

[nimble apex]

execute always or in edit mode will affect all functions inside the class , its either 0 or 100 , no 50.

if u only have a particular function thats not needed for execute always, u need to isolate it out

or go find another attribute tag that can ignore execute always

[hidden marten]

can someone give me a rigidbody addforce based movement script or tutorial which doesnt use drag to slow the player down? after drag gave me a lot of issues i switch to setting velocity instead of addforce. this is also giving me problems now, so i would like to swtich back again

[frigid sequoia]

Can I tell a script to do something when its game object is destroyed directly or do I need an event for that?

[dark vine]

my buttons dont work, trying to run a function for a main menu button and for some reason they wont let me click them.

[frigid sequoia]

There is probaly something on top of them

[dark vine]

this is how i have it, is it bottom to top or top to bottom, in order of placement

[frigid sequoia]

If the background it's a big panel it may be totally covering the play button

[naive pawn]

OnDisable?

[frigid sequoia]

On dissable it's not just when it's turned off?

[naive pawn]

does the canvas have a graphic raycaster

[ripe shard]

lower in the hierarchy means it draws on top

[naive pawn]

it is turned off in the process of destroying the gameobject

[dark vine]

yes

[dark vine]

thanks

but still not allowing to click

ive deleted the background and now just have buttons, but they still dont work, could it do with the function itself

like this is how i have my quit and it wont work, am i missing something

[frigid sequoia]

Are u even making sure that is being called?

[ripe shard]

you need to

1. Put a graphic raycaster on each canvas component that the button is part of, not just the root.
2. Check that the component can intercept/block raycasts (the graphic image component next to the button or below it must "block raycasts" and exists, and is not part of a canvas group that is set as "non-ineractive")
3. Ensure there is a EventSystem in the scene and it is configured correctly
4. Make sure the button is under a canvas.
5. Ensure the button is not part of a CanvasGroup that is "non-interactive"

[dark vine]

i believe so

[frigid sequoia]

Yeah, but that comes by deafault

[ripe shard]

doesn't hurt to check

assume nothing in #💻┃code-beginner

Also ensure there is a EventSystem in the scene and it is configured correctly

[keen dew]

Are you testing this in a build or in the editor? Application.Quit doesn't do anything in the editor

[frigid sequoia]

I meant a debug or print on the method....

[dark vine]

so im not sure i understand all of that fully but i havent changed anything from the defualt and this is how my raycaster is

[dark vine]

ye ive got a deug set up on the play button and not getting anything through

[ripe shard]

did you check all the things

[dark vine]

I will restart it, as it only takes a couple sec, and if it still doesnt work ill come back, thank you otherwise

[faint tulip]

is there any guide on making a book in game then viewing its content on the screen? i do not know what they call it

[hidden marten]

any help please

[eternal needle]

no, people will not give you a script, no one will do your work for free. Likely no tutorial out there will fully cover the exact movement you want to achieve in your game. If you need help with code, then ask properly. Saying that you have problems is too vague for anyone to help

[frigid sequoia]

Yeah, the idea is I am attaching an object to another gameObject with transfrom.parent I want that when the parent is destroyed the attached object drops where it is instead of being destroyed alongside it

[eternal needle]

there are definitely tutorials out there on google if you search for it. It really depends what you want this to function like but I assume the coding part of this wouldnt be complex at all since you'd really just be choosing which string to use at a given time.

"create a book unity tutorial" plus 2d or 3d should get you enough results on google

[hidden marten]

this is my movement script. how do i limit movement in air? i dont want so just reduce the velocity.. i want to make the force that will be added lesser than when im grounded

[echo ruin]

How come I'm not able to pass position as an argument?
https://puu.sh/Ksu7g/484f073631.png

[faint tulip]

i see thank you so far i was only able to make a detection system that tells if the player is near an interactable object (book) but the other part im still clueles on how to make it

[rocky canyon]

i like using Interfaces for interactables

thatInteractable.Interact()

[grand snow]

You are missing an argument for this function overload

[eternal needle]

keep track of what the current velocity should be rather than just using moveVector directly in rb.linearVelocity. Your current velocity could MoveTowards the moveVector. Then you assign that to rb.linearVelocity

[rocky canyon]

Quaternion.Identity for no rotation

[grand snow]

Check all overloads on the doc page https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.0/Documentation/ScriptReference/Object.Instantiate.html

[echo ruin]

Oh. I figured since Instantiate(objectPrefab, transform); worked fine, I'd just need the Vector3. I'm assuming transform contains the rotation, then

[grand snow]

No that's to specify the parent

Read the doc page

[hidden marten]

ohh. how exactly can i do that?

[rocky canyon]

i just use two vectors and combine them at the end

        finalVector =
            (groundVector * finalSpeed) +
            (airVector * playerSettings.airSpeed) +
            (Vector3.up * gravitySim);```

[alpine wraith]

I have some weird problem where I use

Destroy(gameObject, 5f);
```Now if the 5s aren't up when I exit the play mode, the object is apparently saved in the scene. Is there a reason for that? context might be important, it's instantiated as child of a dontDestroyOnLoad object

[eternal needle]

it really depends on how you want it to actually open or show the text. I assume the harder part would be making a book with pages visually flipping. Setting the text on each page is the simple part, just having either an array of strings or a bunch of textmeshpro objects that you selectively enable/disable

[eternal needle]

what part are you confused about? it was quite descriptive in what to do. if you want to keep track of what the current velocity should be, that means storing it in a vector3

[rocky canyon]

oh book page shaders 🙂
https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/animation/book-page-curl-55588?srsltid=AfmBOorAYjaYT3Gh8fKPw-vhOOBjckY2yQE47JBTUrRdY2dMQel3HTph

[naive pawn]

shaders?!

[rocky canyon]

well i imagine its something like that

[naive pawn]

wow i need to learn what shaders actually do

[rocky canyon]

make things pretty

[ivory bobcat]

Were there any errors?

[hidden marten]

dang does this really work? so you just use finalVector to set the velocities?

[rocky canyon]

yessir thast how i do it

[hidden marten]

how can i make my currect velocity MoveTowards the moveVector?

[rocky canyon]

then i have some code in update detecting if we're grounded or not.. if we are groundvector will have a value but airVector will be zero

and vice-versa

groundVector + 0 = groundVector

0 + airVector = airVector

[alpine wraith]

yes, these 3

[eternal needle]

its a built in function which is why i wrote it like that https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.0/Documentation/ScriptReference/Vector3.MoveTowards.html

[rocky canyon]

ohh yea u had a null error.. probably paused ur code execution

[ivory bobcat]

Create a bool to be evaluated if the player is in the air. Modify move vector x accordingly relative to air state.

[alpine wraith]

I assume it is somehow instantiated in the editor then, because it doesn't resemble the altered object but rather the normal prefab

[rocky canyon]

well can u show the instantiation code?

[alpine wraith]

ill make a pastebin

[hidden marten]

thanks! i will try this

[ivory bobcat]

Is the instance creating code on a scriptable object (an object that will persist when the application/play-session closes/terminates)

[hidden marten]

how do i modify move vector? like what should i modify move vector as?

[rocky canyon]

either moveVector = input * groundSpeed;

[alpine wraith]

https://pastebin.com/SeyZ4upF hope this link works

[rocky canyon]

or moveVector = input * airSpeed;

then u can use a simple if statement to assign whichever version u need

[hidden marten]

ohhhh okay.. thanks a lot!! i will make sure to try that

[ivory bobcat]

if(inTheAir)
    moveVector.x *= lesser; 
...```

[alpine wraith]

1st is how it looks after game start because it saved due to the problem, 2nd is how it looks when instantiated in scene

[rocky canyon]

https://pastes.dev/Dhn86CuRFy heres my CC script if u want to look n see

my Lerps are awful.. so ignore those.. i'll change em to smoothdamp or movetowards eventualy

[hidden marten]

thanks a lot! i will give this a try too

[hidden marten]

omg thanks a lot brother!

[rocky canyon]

Move() and PlayerInput() are the two important functions in ur case

[alpine wraith]

should not be, it's just a singleton with ddol

[rocky canyon]

thats the confusing part..

why would something u add during runtime be left over after u stop the game?

[alpine wraith]

exactly

[rocky canyon]

have u tested it out on some other part of ur project?

[alpine wraith]

Destroy may not be called from edit mode! Use DestroyImmediate instead.
this line in the error implies that it's trying to destroy in edit mode

[rocky canyon]

maybe its just this specific situtation causing an issue like that

[rocky canyon]

ur calling it from Runtime tho right?

[alpine wraith]

yes

[rocky canyon]

DestroyImmediate is for things like Editor scripts

[alpine wraith]

but maybe due to the 5s delay?

[rocky canyon]

i dont see why.. tho

did u share the full script?

[alpine wraith]

in the pastebin yes

[rocky canyon]

#💻┃code-beginner message

i found it 👍

[alpine wraith]

not the singleton part, but other than that yeah

[rocky canyon]

i can look.. thats all i can promise

[alpine wraith]

thanks :)

[ivory bobcat]

Can you show the inspector for toast?

[rocky canyon]

Destroy(gameObject, 5f) schedules a delayed destruction at runtime, only if the game keeps running.
If you exit Play Mode before the 5 seconds pass, the object never gets destroyed, because Unity stops all coroutines, tweens, and delayed calls immediately when exiting Play Mode.
BUT since the object was instantiated inside a DontDestroyOnLoad object, Unity moves it to the special "DontDestroyOnLoad Scene."

Unity can't clean up stuff that's been manually moved to that internal scene unless you do it yourself — so it persists even after you exit Play Mode.

Short version:
Destroy() was scheduled but never happened because exiting Play Mode interrupts the process.
Anything in DontDestroyOnLoad outlives normal cleanup unless manually handled.

does this seem legit ^?

[alpine wraith]

i think I got something

[rocky canyon]

    void OnApplicationQuit()
    {
#if UNITY_EDITOR
        if (!Application.isPlaying)
        {
            foreach (Transform child in toastParent)
                DestroyImmediate(child.gameObject);
        }
#endif
    }```

clear toasts manually at exit

[alpine wraith]

I apparently called the method somewhere in an OnApplicationQuit()

[ivory bobcat]

The scene should default though after exiting the play session 🤔

[eternal needle]

you most definitely dont need to delete objects manually like that

[rocky canyon]

right right

[eternal needle]

i was going to suggest that maybe you were calling it from some editor function. interesting this causes it as well

[rocky canyon]

^ ya i thought that at first too but

[alpine wraith]

Sorry for all the fuss, that was it probably 😅

[rocky canyon]

lol (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻

i wonder if my toast system still works

[eternal needle]

just as a note for the future, none of the code you shared used unity functions. meaning none of this wouldve ran by itself, so something else was calling it. it's usually worth going through and showing all the places that call it. You can usually right click the method in your IDE and find all references

[eternal needle]

im guessing this was AI also?

[rocky canyon]

it was my phones gemini..

[alpine wraith]

absolutely, i just assumed the flaw was in the destruction part :'(

[rocky canyon]

just curious how gemini handled reading over it

[eternal needle]

something something community conduct ai bad

[rocky canyon]

if my projects would open THIS century

[rocky canyon]

can i possibly see ur generic singleton code?

[alpine wraith]

I got this online and changed some small things.

using UnityEngine;

public class Singleton<T> : MonoBehaviour where T : MonoBehaviour
{

    private static T _instance;
    private static readonly object _instanceLock = new object();

[rocky canyon]

i also grabbed my online.. i just wanted to compare

thank you friend! 🙂

[alpine wraith]

you're welcome! Might you also show yours? ^^

[rocky canyon]

sure!

i took mine from Vertxyz

huh.how.xyz? vertx.huh.how.xyz something another

https://unity.huh.how/references/singletons

[thick tendon]

can u help me with an asset ?

[rocky canyon]

not unless u go into a bit more specifics

[alpine wraith]

do you know about base.Awake()? It seems you could also use that. Idk if your DoAwake() is by preference

[rocky canyon]

and then its hit or miss

[rocky canyon]

thats vertxs preference

ive been trying to get used to it

but sometimes ill still accidently use the wrong type of awake

[cosmic dagger]

A coding asset?

[alpine wraith]

could use a template like me so the singleton is created with the method

[rocky canyon]

howso?

[ivory bobcat]

Pretty sure it was placed there to expose insertion of code to the awake method

[rocky canyon]

using UnityEngine;
namespace SPWN
{
    public class Widget : Singleton<Widget>
    {
        public Texture2D widgetTex;

        protected override void DoAwake() { }
    }
}```

heres how i typically make my singletons ^

[thick tendon]

nop a map creator

[rocky canyon]

overrides/protected/virtual/ etc still has me a bit confused from time to time

[alpine wraith]

let me make another pastebin

[rocky canyon]

since DoAwake() gets called by the Singletons Awake() method..

[alpine wraith]

https://pastebin.com/eEkiq8Wa

[ivory bobcat]

And Awake isn't polymorphic in vertz sample to ensure the base behavior always occurs with or without users explicitly calling a base awake

[alpine wraith]

using this you can create them via right click -> creat -> Code -> Singleton

[rocky canyon]

Ohhh u just mean making a MenuItem

[alpine wraith]

make sure to put the scripts into the Editor folder too

[alpine wraith]

makes it a lot easier for me

[rocky canyon]

yea.. i know..
i try to stay away from editor scripting

i tend to fall hard down a rabbit hole

[alpine wraith]

but- but... automation... :(

[rocky canyon]

yea i know

[rocky canyon]

double edged sword for me for sure

[alpine wraith]

is there so much cool stuff to do with that?

[rocky canyon]

editor scripting?

absolutely..

[alpine wraith]

i.e.?

[rocky canyon]

i wish i could just create a "Build Game" button

[night mural]

I tend to do the same thing but in my IDE since that feels like a more reasonable place to create scripts from to me

no editor scripting that way!

[rocky canyon]

i get lost for days

[night mural]

tbh mostly I just copy a file that I already have that's in the right structure and update it >_>

[desert palm]

hi guys i need some help in unity AR mobile app , with the default XR template .. i want to create an app to view my model and rotate and scale basically

[night mural]

#🤯┃augmented-reality and you'll need to provide more information than that

[alpine wraith]

pretty neat, feels a little over the top for me xD

[desert palm]

ok

[rocky canyon]

thats my entire point

[alpine wraith]

can I import a package from git url dynamically via editor scripting?

[cosmic dagger]

Using DoAwake ensures the derived class' initialization occurs after the base Singleton. This is better because it prevents user error from placing one (their code) before the other (base code) . . .

[alpine wraith]

yeah i can see that, that's what I meant with preference

[rocky canyon]

Project Directory Markdown Generator 😉

[alpine wraith]

holy

do you actually use that for stuff?

[rocky canyon]

ya, all the time

soo much faster to read my project dirctory from a text file

than to spend 30 minutes uncollapsing things and searching around

[alpine wraith]

understandable

[rocky canyon]

everything I've made is QOL

but thats debateable

per person yakno

[night mural]

what if...search?

[rocky canyon]

and if im totally honest.. lots of this stufff was made b/c i wanted to..
and then i fell into that rabbit hole. and made things i really didnt need

i just need to stay really alert and focused when working on editor scripting

[rocky canyon]

sometimes i dont know what im lookin for 🫠

its mainly for thirdparty cleaning... (and using it for Asset projects, so i can keep my Directory clean and organized)

after about a month or so of importing and exporting i'll go in and check the project directory out and get rid of residual stuff

[cosmic dagger]

I feel the same way. I'm trying to look for scripts where I can change the layout because I want to learn editor scripting. But, it's a LOT of boilerplate (so verbose) . . .

[rocky canyon]

Unity has some pretty nice windows default

u just gotta find em

my first forte into Editor scripting was with the URP Template Readme thing

[cosmic dagger]

Oh yeah, I copied a few things they did for myself. I ended up making an extension class for all the styles, add/remove uss classes, binding properties, and setting text because that's a lot of repeating code . . .

I bet anyone who messes with editor scripting has their own . . .

[rocky canyon]

not yet.. but im getting there

[rocky canyon]

i have a WindowData class that I can create

and use that to style my windows

has text sizes, window sizes, scroll or no scroll, icons/ and header graphics, etc

then i can just create my editor window and pass in the WindowData i want for that window

Features acts as

Headers

and anything beneath it will be

• bulleted

still figuring things out.. but today is Not an editor scripting day

[cosmic dagger]

Whoa, I like that. That's dope af . . .

[rocky canyon]

thanks!

one day ill get around to implementing it 😉

[frigid sequoia]

I have notice the scroll component does not detect when you are moving the mouse and click as a drag, but rather you need to stay still with the mouse for a moment and then drag. Is there some way of overriding that?

[timber tide]

Usually you can dissect it a bit and change it up. I do it for buttons sometimes and throw on my own IPointer events

[frigid sequoia]

What event am I looking for?

[elfin isle]

Heyhey people! I was here f or a s imilar issue before and I thought I fixed it but its definitely not fixed.

It's really weird, everything in my game changes its speed depending on the framerate, the jumping, the speed of fish (its a fishing game), but not running speed.

Ive tried using a variety of Time.deltaTime, Time.FixedDeltaTime, neither work, and for some reason when I tab out o f the game while im in it everything gets very very slow and I can only fix it by restarting my game.

Any suggestions?

[rich adder]

no suggestions.
we haven't seen the code

[elfin isle]

It's kinda hard to show the code- in my code, I use Time.Delta time in like 6 different scripts, being movement, camera, fish, shop, movefish, I don't know if I should send all of that

I can send the movement though, which is probably the biggest problem

using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
using System;
using System.IO.Compression;

public class movefish : MonoBehaviour
{
    float Animation;
    public GameObject Fish;
    private float x;
    private float y;
    private float z;
    private float iy;
    private float iz;
    public float num;
    public float randint;
    public bool Copy;

    public float value;
    public float enemyinc;

    void Start()
    {
        iz = Fish.transform.position.z;    
        enemyinc = 3;
    }

    void Update()
    {
        if(!Copy)
        {
            if(Fish.transform.position.x >= 35)
            {
                    Destroy(Fish);
            }
            if(Fish.GetComponent<Fish>().isAlive == true)
            {
                    num += Time.fixedDeltaTime/4;
                    y = iy + (2f * Mathf.Cos(num  * 2f));
                    Fish.transform.position = new  Vector3(Fish.transform.position.x + 0.02f, y + 0.5f, Fish.transform.position.z);
            } else {
                Fish.transform.position = new Vector3(Fish.transform.position.x + 0.005f, 0.73f, Fish.transform.position.z);
                Fish.transform.rotation = new Quaternion(90f, Fish.transform.rotation.y, Fish.transform.rotation.z, 0f);
                Fish.GetComponent<Outline>().OutlineColor = Color.white;
            }
        } else {
            enemyinc -= Time.fixedDeltaTime/4;
            num += Time.fixedDeltaTime;
            z = iz + (2f * Mathf.Sin( 10*num * 0.2f));
            Fish.transform.position = new Vector3(Fish.transform.position.x, Fish.transform.position.y, z);
            if(enemyinc <= 0)
            {
                enemyinc = UnityEngine.Random.Range(4.0f, 8.0f);
                GameObject NewFish = GameObject.Instantiate(Fish);
                NewFish.GetComponent<movefish>().Copy = false;
                NewFish.transform.position = gameObject.transform.position;
                randint = Mathf.Round(UnityEngine.Random.Range(0.8f, 2f) * 100.0f) *  0.01f;
                NewFish.transform.localScale *= randint;
                NewFish.GetComponent<movefish>().value = randint;
            }
        }
    }
}

[rich adder]

why are you using Time.fixedDeltaTime though

[elfin isle]

i was using Time.deltaTime and it wasn't working, so i was t rying fixedDeltaTime

[rich adder]

Time.deltaTime should work fine, if it wasn't then you used it wrong. Replacing it with something else related to physics instead isn't exactly a way to fix that lol

[elfin isle]

as i said in my post, it was "working" but everything moved depending on framerate, so thats why i decided to s witch to fixeddeltatime

but both still have the same problem of being dependent on framerate

[rich adder]

do you know the difference between time.deltaTime and fixedDeltaTime ?

[elfin isle]

i think so

[rich adder]

that means you used it wrong then because Time.deltaTime was literally meant for this usecase

probably placed it at the wrong spot, or its something else

[elfin isle]

i used it the same way im using fixeddelta time

just with different proportions obviously

i dont see how thats using it wrong

[rich adder]

I'm trying to see where, cause this code is a mess

[elfin isle]

sorry

[verbal dome]

Can you post the scripts in a paste site, easier to search for specific stuff that way

!code

[eternal falcon]

Posting code

📃 Large Code Blocks

Use links to services like:
https://paste.mod.gg/, https://hastebin.skyra.pw/, https://paste.ofcode.org/, https://paste.myst.rs/, https://scriptbin.xyz/

Add a comment with a line number if there is an error message.

[rich adder]

also are these rigidbodies in any way?

[naive pawn]

fixedDeltaTime is the tick speed (1/tickrate) of the physics system
deltaTime is the frame speed (1/framerate) of the update loop
literally the difference (delta) in time between the last iteration

if you do, say, value += deltaTime in Update, then after 1 second, value will be incremented by 1.
same for value += fixedDeltaTime in FixedUpdate.

but fixedDeltaTime is unrelated to Update, so it doesn't make sense to use it there

[verbal dome]

This depends on framerate, for example sc Fish.transform.position = new Vector3(Fish.transform.position.x + 0.02f, y + 0.5f, Fish.transform.position.z);

You are adding 0.02 and 0.5 to the position regardless of the frame duration

[rich adder]

oh ya good catch there

for a second thought it was a diff object

[elfin isle]

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

[naive pawn]

anything that changes over time in Update, FixedUpdate, a coroutine, probably other stuff, all rely on the loop rate. for Update and coroutines (except WaitForFixedUpdate), that's the framerate

[verbal dome]

Also please use proper names for variables, num or enemyinc don't tell me much

[rich adder]

yaa variable names here making 10 times harder to read than it needs to

[elfin isle]

im sorry idk what to say its just how i code

[verbal dome]

This part is also wrongcs Fish.transform.rotation = new Quaternion(90f, Fish.transform.rotation.y, Fish.transform.rotation.z, 0f);

Quaternion values aren't euler angles - you probably want = Quaternion.Euler(...)

And instead of rotation.y/z you'd use eulerAngles.y/z

[rich adder]

never to late to get into better habits 🙂

don't take it as criticism on you.. we all been there.. its good to improve for your future self

[elfin isle]

how is it wrong?

its working so i dont see a problem with it

[elfin isle]

oh okays C:

[rich adder]

quaternion values dont go above 1

you should never manually create quaternion values that way

always use helper function with euler angles
Quaternion.Euler, rotation.EulerAngles etc.

[elfin isle]

but in regard to this, how do i change this so its not frame dependent?

[verbal dome]

Multiply the value with Time.deltaTime so it scales with the framerate

With that you also need to use larger numbers

[elfin isle]

Fish.transform.position.x + (0.02f * Time.deltaTime), like this?

[rich adder]

you cant directly modify that property like this you get an error

[elfin isle]

how would i rewrite this?

like this?
Quaternion.Euler(90f, Fish.transform.rotation.y, Fish.transform.rotation.z, 0f);

[rich adder]

https://unity.huh.how/compiler-errors/cs1612

[verbal dome]

Same with these lines cs y = iy + (2f * Mathf.Cos(num * 2f)); cs z = iz + (2f * Mathf.Sin( 10*num * 0.2f));
You are adding constant values, the additions need to be multiplied by delta time instead

[naive pawn]

check docs on the mentioned methods maybe

[verbal dome]

Yeah, but now the final value is lower so you need to use a larger number instead of 0.02

[rich adder]

no you're passing Quaterions into a Euler angle

Fish.transform.rotation is still a Quaternion

so .y gives you a quaternion value

if you want the euler angle of it it would be rotation.eulerAngles.y or transform.eulerAngles.y

[elfin isle]

alright, so i would do that to uh, everything p much? is there an easy w ay to do that or, just have Time.deltaTime splattered around my code

[rich adder]

any time you're adding values over a series of frames / time you need Time.deltaTime
(this is what keeps the adding values consistent through different fps)

[verbal dome]

It doesn't get much easier than adding one multiplication

[elfin isle]

alright, was just asking cause i have alot of spots that happens in

[verbal dome]

Ofc you can add a local variable float delta = Time.deltaTime and use that to make it a bit more readable

[elfin isle]

that would help

[elfin isle]

Fish.transform.eulerAngles = new Vector3(90f, Fish.transform.rotation.y, Fish.transform.rotation.z);

like this?

[elfin isle]

for this, would i just be able to multiply "Y" & "Z" by delta to fix it? or would i have to do it specifically to the values inside?

[rich adder]

noo lol transform.rotation.y, is still a quaternion

i meant more like .rotation = Quaternion.Euler(90f, Fish.transform.eulerAngles.y, Fish.transform.eulerAngles.z);
but I would be hesitant using its own eulerAngles into assigning into rotation

[verbal dome]

The values you add to it should be multiplied. So instead of something like z = iz + 123 you would do z = iz + 123 * delta

[elfin isle]

Fish.transform.rotation = Quaternion.Euler(90f, Fish.transform.eulerAngles.y, Fish.transform.eulerAngles.z); so like this?

[rich adder]

You can probably just do transform.Rotate(myEuler)

[verbal dome]

Actually nevermind that part, these lines don't need delta time

Just realized you are adding the sine to the initial positions

[elfin isle]

okayyyy

[rich adder]

but yeah technically the code is now correct, if its what you want it to do is another story lol

[elfin isle]

oh, so it might not turn 90 deg now?

[rich adder]

oh no it does, its just sometimes I get adamant passing its own angles sometimes lol

[elfin isle]

(obv i need to change the values) but, does this look more accurate?

            {
                    num += delta;
                    y = iy + (2f * Mathf.Cos(num  * 2f));
                    Fish.transform.position = new  Vector3(Fish.transform.position.x + (0.02f * delta), y + (0.5f * delta), Fish.transform.position.z);
            } else {
                Fish.transform.position = new Vector3(Fish.transform.position.x + (0.005f * delta), 0.73f, Fish.transform.position.z);
                Fish.transform.rotation = Quaternion.Euler(90f, Fish.transform.eulerAngles.y, Fish.transform.eulerAngles.z);
                Fish.GetComponent<Outline>().OutlineColor = Color.white;
            }```

[rich adder]

at least .rotation = Quaternion.Euler tries to avoid gimbal lock that occurs if you were to assign euler angles manually

[elfin isle]

https://paste.mod.gg/avbiodunbsaw/0 easier to read

[verbal dome]

Looks better yeah

[elfin isle]

okay!!

(im a big dum dum and dont understand half of these words)

gonna be real i dont know what euler, quaternion, or gimbal really is i just use them lmao

[rocky canyon]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gimbal_lock

[verbal dome]

(I would probably make a local variable for Fish.transform to make it a bit more readable)

[elfin isle]

quaternion is like another word for r otation right ?

[verbal dome]

It's a data type containing a rotation

[rocky canyon]

its a 4Dimensional Value

[elfin isle]

so what like uh float new Vector3 = Fish.transform

[rich adder]

its good way to store rotations mainly to avoid gimbal lock + other reasons big brains know about lol

[rocky canyon]

transform is a Transform..

[rocky canyon]

Vector3 myPosition = Fish.transform.position;

[rich adder]

Transform myFish = Fish.transform

[rocky canyon]

Quaternion myRotation = Fish.transform.rotation;

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quaternion
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler_angles
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conversion_between_quaternions_and_Euler_angles

if u feel like melting ur brain today

[elfin isle]

my brain already feels melted lmao

4 people spouting info at me

OKAY so,

[rich adder]

the great thing about quaternions is you dont have to know HOW they work, just what they're for

[elfin isle]

does this look better https://paste.mod.gg/rbdkccbdtqwj/0

[rich adder]

a bit odd naming tbh
Vector3 FISH = Fish.transform.position;

Would be fishPos the fish would be fish.transform

[verbal dome]

Yeah that's why I'm kinda stepping back, too many instructions can be overwhelming

[elfin isle]

it was earlier but im good now

[rocky canyon]

i just wiki'd and now i'll spectate 🙂

[elfin isle]

i did it cause its funny

idk l mao

[rocky canyon]

until u ur scrolling to the top every minute or so checking what the difference between Fish, FISH, and Phish are

[elfin isle]

ykw fair

[charred spoke]

You think bad naming is funny until you come back to a code base a couple of weeks later and have no idea wtf is going on

[rocky canyon]

lol... we've all been on that side of the fence ^

its no fun lol

[rich adder]

Phish 👅 🔲 👀 🌈

[elfin isle]

okay i changed it to FishPos

[rocky canyon]

fishGO
fishTransform
fishRotation
Etc

yea yea..

[charred spoke]

Local scope variables should be fishPos

[rocky canyon]

🐫

[rich adder]

yeah very descriptive names can become funny too..
DeleteAllChildren() **enters watchlist **

[elfin isle]

ykw while im here

why?

[rich adder]

what does it say

[rocky canyon]

what is .active?

that ur own variable?

[elfin isle]

no uhh

[rich adder]

ah yes, use activeSelf

[elfin isle]

literally .setactive

[elfin isle]

whats the difference?

[rocky canyon]

https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.1/Documentation/ScriptReference/GameObject-activeSelf.html

[rich adder]

its the same thing, but this one is newer

probably some extra stuff done internally I have no clue about lol

[elfin isle]

ah okay

[rocky canyon]

theres also https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.1/Documentation/ScriptReference/GameObject-activeInHierarchy.html

not sure the difference

[elfin isle]

tysm guys C: i feel smarter now

[rich adder]

when you see ⚠️ its just a warning, not gamebreaking / still compiles fine and works but should be addressed at some point

[rocky canyon]

🗨️ w/e
⚠️ w/e
🛑 hold up..

[elfin isle]

lmao ye

[rocky canyon]

unless u have soo many w/e

that u can't find ur hold ups

[elfin isle]

okay i m confused

with all my new code

[rocky canyon]

okay.. i guess from what i understand
this one must have all the parents active as well

[elfin isle]

no matter how i change the values the fish just arent moving now

[rocky canyon]

shoulda took it a step at a time 😅

[elfin isle]

yeeeaaaahhh

[verbal dome]

Show the current code?

[elfin isle]

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

[rich adder]

you never assign it back

FishPos

[verbal dome]

You need to assign FishPos back to the fish.transform.position

[naive pawn]

CleanUpOrphans()

[rich adder]

if(transform.parent == null) IAmBatman()

[rocky canyon]

i very well may use this as a function 😄

[elfin isle]

wait am i dumb

did i not do thata l ine 2?

[verbal dome]

That just creates a new local copy of the position

Changing it doesn't affect the transform.position, you need to assign it back

[rich adder]

value types are copied, you never change the original

[verbal dome]

So do fish.transform.positoin = FishPos when you are done

[rocky canyon]

ur setting ur own variable FishPos to the Fish.transform.position; but u never do anything with it besides ~~read ~~ set it over and over

set it over and over*

[verbal dome]

The local variable was supposed to be for the fish transform

But this will work fine

Just extra confusion

[rocky canyon]

heck ya 😄

i was just pointing out that Vector3 would come from a position

not a transform

well, not the Transform by itself.. but its .position

[elfin isle]

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

like this?

[verbal dome]

I have a feeling that y + (20f * delta) is incorrect tho
You reset y to iy + sine every frame so adding a delta scaled value to it doesn't make sense. You haven't told us what it's supposed to do

[rocky canyon]

i see u setting the rotation.. but never the position

Fish.transform.position = FishPos; seems to be missing somewhere.. (if ur trying to move the fish)

[elfin isle]

okay im getting really confused

[elfin isle]

i set it in the new code i sent

and yeah its still not working

[rocky canyon]

oh mb i see now

was clicking the wrong link

[elfin isle]

heres the whole thing if interested

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

[rocky canyon]

i'd check if ur else statement is ever running then

[elfin isle]

well the else statement still moves the fish

just differently

[rocky canyon]

ohh okay

i thought u had sed it wasnt moving at all

maybe b/c of the first code

[rich adder]

btw when you add Time.deltaTime you might have to crank up some values

[rocky canyon]

[elfin isle]

yeee i did

i multiplied them all by like 20

and then i checked and they arent moving at all

i figured it out

i was being stupid

[rich adder]

what was it ?

[elfin isle]

        Vector3 FishPos = Fish.transform.position;
        if(!Copy)
        {
            if(FishPos.x >= 35)
            {
                    Destroy(Fish);
            }
            if(Fish.GetComponent<Fish>().isAlive == true)
            {
                    num += delta;
                    y = iy + (2f * Mathf.Cos(num * 2f));
                    Fish.transform.position = new Vector3(FishPos.x + (4 * delta), y + 0.5f, FishPos.z);
            } else {
                Fish.transform.position = new Vector3(FishPos.x + (0.02f * delta), 0.73f, FishPos.z);
                Fish.transform.rotation = Quaternion.Euler(90f, Fish.transform.eulerAngles.y, Fish.transform.eulerAngles.z);
                Fish.GetComponent<Outline>().OutlineColor = Color.white;
            }```

i needed to change FishPos to Fish.transform.position when setting the new vector

[verbal dome]

Doing cs FishPos = ... Fish.transform.position = FishPos;Isn't different from doing cs Fish.transform.position = ...

[rich adder]

wdym
this is the same thing as this you had

   FishPos = new Vector3(FishPos.x + (0.8f * delta), y + (20f * delta), FishPos.z);
                    Fish.transform.position = FishPos;```

[verbal dome]

Maybe you just forgot to save before 🤷‍♂️

[elfin isle]

idk lm ao

oh hey

do you guys wanna see my stupid ass jump code

its very very bad

[verbal dome]

Ass jump? Hell yeah

[elfin isle]

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

and then this is how i use y

        Vector3 movement = (horizontal + (transform.up * y));
        controller.Move(movement * Time.deltaTime);```

[verbal dome]

Idk what you are doing with the fall value but that code also depends on frame rate

[elfin isle]

yeeee now i need to put delta in there

[verbal dome]

Maybe just look at a tutorial for character controller jumping and gravity

Because that paste looks pretty bad indeed

[elfin isle]

okaaayyy

[elfin isle]

its so that the y value decreases exponentionally

[rich adder]

here is how unity does gravity + jump
https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.0/Documentation/ScriptReference/CharacterController.Move.html

they finally fixed it to 1 Move call 🥹
Vector3 finalMove = (move * playerSpeed) + (playerVelocity.y * Vector3.up);
controller.Move(finalMove * Time.deltaTime);
what a time

[copper nymph]

hello guys, could anyone help me because i dont know why but my particles stopped showing up

[swift elbow]

#✨┃vfx-and-particles is a better place to ask

[copper nymph]

thank you

[frigid sequoia]

I am destroying a UI element and I am marking the layout for a rebuild but it just doesn't do it. It does get fixed when I change resolution tho.

What am I doing wrong?

[lusty grail]

I can't import any sound, anyone know what is wrong with it?

[twin pivot]

Im guessing format but also #🔊┃audio

[pure hollow]

Quick question!
Im trying to use logic on this piece of code but I think im forgetting something
What I want to achieve is an object that follows the player with varying speed based on the distance but stops before reaching the player.

Heres the code

Vector2 endPoint = transform.position + (player.transform.position - transform.position).normalized * (Vector2.Distance(player.transform.position, transform.position) - 2);
rb.linearVelocity = Vector2.MoveTowards(transform.position, endPoint, speed * 100 * Time.deltaTime);

What I "THINK" should happen is:
-I get the normalized direction to reach the player
-Then I multiply it by the distance, but since that would just give me the player position I shorten it by 2
-After all that I just use Unity's moveTowards function

[verbal dome]

This is a code channel. Check the error in the console

[lusty grail]

"FSBTool ERROR: Encoder for chosen format is not supported on this platform."

[verbal dome]

Start by googling that

[twin pivot]

Mind wrapping ur code with a code block

Also what is happening instead

[pure hollow]

rb.linearVelocity = Vector2.MoveTowards(transform.position, endPoint, speed * 100 * Time.deltaTime);```

[naive pawn]

ohhh ok

Vector2 endPoint = transform.position + (player.transform.position - transform.position).normalized * (Vector2.Distance(player.transform.position, transform.position) - 2);

rb.linearVelocity = Vector2.MoveTowards(transform.position, endPoint, speed * 100 * Time.deltaTime);

Instead it gets away from the origin point exponentially faster

[verbal dome]

Might wanna check the doc for how MoveTowards actually works

[naive pawn]

so you're using MoveTowards and you feed it 2 positions. you get a position out.

then you assign that to a velocity

[verbal dome]

Currently you seem to be plugging a position to a velocity

[naive pawn]

also that endPoint seems a bit... overengineered?

[pure hollow]

I did that

[naive pawn]

yeah do you see the issue with that

[pure hollow]

ohhhhhhh

OHHHHHHHH

Oh ok I think i see

[twin pivot]

A bit unrelated but is that endpoint formula the lerp formula?

[naive pawn]

doesn't look like it

[pure hollow]

No just a thing to get a point in the direction of the player

But I understand now, I was just being dumb

[naive pawn]

player.transform.position + (player.transform.position - transform.position).ClampMagnitude(2)
```i think this gives you the same result (at least if the distance is > 2)

if the distance is < 2, your original code would make the object walk away from the player
this version makes the endpoint the object's current position

[verbal dome]

I think the endpoint should be something like cs Vector2 directionToPlayer = player.transform.position - transform.position; Vector2 endPoint = player.transform.position - directionToPlayer.normalized * 2;

If you want the endpoint to be 2 units away from the target, while keeping distance

[naive pawn]

yeah osmal's version keeps the same behavior

different magnitude calculation for the offset
your existing code/osmal's sets the magnitude to 2
mine clamps the magnitude to 2
but overall same idea

[verbal dome]

Yeah my version keeps the distance, so if it's < 2 units away then it would move away instead of towards the player

[lusty grail]

i googled it and i got no results

like, it doesn't tell me how to solve it

mp3,wav, or ogg doesn't work idk why

[verbal dome]

Move to #🔊┃audio . Again, this is a code channel

[lusty grail]

yeah but i get no response

[verbal dome]

Then wait, and also share more details like what platform your editor is on and what platform you are building for

[fiery breach]

im interpreting lua using moonsharp and trying to make it draw text on the screen. it adds a (string text, Vector2 position) item to a list of them and OnGUI scans through the list and draws each text. BUT if i clear the list at OnGUI, Update or LateUpdate the text simply doesn't draw at all. could someone help me thru this?

was meant to put that in #archived-code-general oops

nvm i got it to work

turns out it only took 5 misspellings of "oops" to fix it

[frigid sequoia]

Mmmm.... why this error? None of these objects have a RectTransform, they only use a sprite Renderer

I cannot even call that method lol

[naive pawn]

you sure it's from that line?

also of course you wouldn't be able to call the method, you wouldn't have anything typed as a RectTransform there

[frigid sequoia]

Quite literally I am clicking on the debug line link

[naive pawn]

it's pointing to the transform.parent = ... line?

[frigid sequoia]

Yes

[naive pawn]

None of these objects have a RectTransform
validate this assumption then, try logging all the waypoints

just something like Debug.Log($"{waypoint.gameObject.name}: {waypoint.transform}", waypoint.gameObject); in the loop

[frigid sequoia]

Wait, wtf, THEY ARE. They were normal transforms before, 100% I even took the reference of their possitions to set the default possition

I don't even know how to do that if I wanted to

[polar acorn]

Did you make them children of a canvas at any point

[frigid sequoia]

I think I may have added a Canvas to them by mistake at some point

But the rectTransform stayed there even after the removal I suppose

Can I even change a rectTransform for a normal transform?

[polar acorn]

Remove the RectTransform and it'll revert to a normal transform

[frigid sequoia]

Oh, wow, surprisingly easy

[maiden estuary]

Oh by the way, is there anything I should do in VS to make it easier to use or anything? I turned on the error box thing at the bottom last night, and I'm wondering if there's any other like must haves

Have you configured it? !vs 👇

how do i make it so my script disables the mesh renderer of the object that its on and not the whole object?

[teal viper]

Just disable the mesh renderer. And not the whole gameobject🤷‍♂️

It's like "how do I eat apple and not orange". Just don't eat orange🤷‍♂️

[mortal shadow]

i need the script to disable the mesh renderer after a set amount of time. how do i reference it

[teal viper]

Well, how would you reference any other component?

[earnest wagon]

question. is there a means one can programatically exit a unity game without too much issue?

idea is a 'blank' unity game who's only purpose is to exit itself for benchmarking purposes.

[slender nymph]

thank

[earnest wagon]

Assuming I can just plop that into a game object in the default scene?

[tacit torrent]

I really wish I could use something like the animation state machines to manage my boss attacks

[cosmic dagger]

You can . . .

[tacit torrent]

how

I couldn't find anything by searching "state machine" on the docs

Only the animation controller

[cosmic dagger]

A tutorial uses the animation state machines for an actual state machine. Use Google instead of searching the docs . . .

[tacit torrent]

Okay I'll check that out

[cosmic dagger]

There are pros and cons to using it. I can't remember (them), but the video should have all the info . . .

[tacit torrent]

Is it "finite state machines"

[verbal dome]

If you want to use the animator for a non-animation statemachine, you need to look into StateMachineBehaviours
