[waxen adder]

In one of your older images, I noticed it was off

[dry cloak]

ahah

now its working

[waxen adder]

Alright, now we can see the raycast

Back to the original problem xd

[dry cloak]

okay, so i think the raycast is spawning under the ground'

when sliding

[waxen adder]

Oh yeah, it's getting offset pretty hard there

[dry cloak]

also another couple problems i have once were done with this

[waxen adder]

How about when just standing?

[waxen adder]

Yeah that looks good

[dry cloak]

i might have found a solution

so my playerobj is where the camera is tied too

for height things

and its also what the raycast is tied too

so if i raise it up, is should in also rais where the raycast spawn

wait not the player obj

[waxen adder]

While that would work for now, I don't think that would solve the problem forever

[worthy tundra]

how do i toggle specific layers from the camera from a script?

i have special effects that are under specific layers (fx a on layer 1, fx b on layer 2 etc)

i want a script that can toggle these effects on and off, how do i do that?

[waxen adder]

Something's coming to mind. Click the object when standing and when sliding

Show images for both

[dry cloak]

kk

[waxen adder]

Yeah, so you see right there? The transform position is at the bottom of the standing guy, and, well in nowhere land when sliding

[dry cloak]

yeah

[waxen adder]

I think there's a button you can click to change that, i forget what

[dry cloak]

the raycast should be spawning from the same spot no matter what right?

[waxen adder]

Ah ok, so look to the far left from where you clicked gizmos, across the screen basically

You'll see something saying "pivot"

Click it, and switch to center

[dry cloak]

done

now what

that moved the raycast up by like 4 centimeeters

[waxen adder]

Take a look at the gizmos and stuff again

Oh wait for real?

[dry cloak]

yeah

[waxen adder]

Show images?

[dry cloak]

pivot

[waxen adder]

You switched it to center right?

[dry cloak]

center

acutlly the ray doesnt move

the arrow that moves it does

[waxen adder]

Can I see your character hierarchy?

[waxen adder]

Show me the inspector side of "Player"

[waxen adder]

Show me the inspector side of "PlayerObj"

[waxen adder]

Hm ok, let's clean this up a bit

First things first, make sure the scene is saved

In case you want to try something else later

[dry cloak]

saved

i cant really get rid of any of the childs, as they are used in the Camera holder and player cam scripts

it avoids prolbems when the camera is directly attached to the player itself

[waxen adder]

Keep in mind that you may run into some errors and stuff as we do this depending on how you got your scripts set up. Ignore for now, until we get done

On Player, remove the capsule mesh filter and rigidbody

Reset its transform > right click transform > reset

[dry cloak]

done

[waxen adder]

Ok now for PlayerObj

Let's reset it's transform, and then set y to 1

[dry cloak]

doone

[waxen adder]

Any errors as of right now?

[dry cloak]

no

[waxen adder]

Ok, take a look at the raycasts and stuff again

I think it should be better now

[dry cloak]

ran it got an error

MissingComponentException: There is no 'Rigidbody' attached to the "Player" game object, but a script is trying to access it.

[waxen adder]

Ah right

Add a rigidbody component to PlayerObj

Now I gotta think

[dry cloak]

raycasts are still doing the same thing

sort of

[waxen adder]

Just to make sure this lands right, make rb public

[dry cloak]

can you wait like 45 min?

i need to go take care of somthing

i can @ you when back if your fine with that

[waxen adder]

Sure, just ping me when back yeah

I might not be able to respond right away tho

[worthy tundra]

replying so it doesnt get drowned

[waxen adder]

^ That I sadly don't know how to do, but I hope someone manages to help you!

[worthy tundra]

yeah its ok im just leaving it here so someone picks it up lol

[rocky canyon]

allz ud need to do is change the Culling layers right?

[worthy tundra]

yeah but how do i do that via script?

[worthy tundra]

like i can change it through script but i would have to give it an entire list of layers, i just want a method to toggle a specific layer

[rocky canyon]

u could do bitshifting and stuff but me personally im bad at that..

so i'd just have a reference to couple of layermasks set up the way i want..

and just change out the entire mask w/ those layermasks

[worthy tundra]

yeah but i have several layers that i want to be independently toggleable

[rocky canyon]

ya, then u'd want to do the bitshifting stuff

im just telling u how I would handle it

im bad at that othe stuff.. sooo u'd need someone else to chime in

[worthy tundra]

what is bitshifting

[worthy tundra]

i dont trust ai

[rocky canyon]

its Google's Overview.. it just uses all the sources from the search query..

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uDYE3RFMNzk&t=0

here

[worthy tundra]

thats better thanks

[rocky canyon]

the sources came from UnityDiscussions

ya, i dont trust AI either.. (coding with it).. but for search engine queries.. its literally using the results it finds and just giving u overview

anyway.. best of luck with the bitshifting 🍀

[worthy tundra]

thanks

[echo cradle]

i'm going for pixel perfect movement but the players box collider keeps passing though walls only going up. I'm using rule tiles, should I just trash this project and start something new?

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

[wintry quarry]

your code is moving objects in ways that don't respect collisions

try setting Rigidbody velocity

also make sure your colliders and Rigidbodies are configured properly

[echo cradle]

i'm going for pixel perfect movement but the players box collider keeps passing though walls only going up.

[wintry quarry]

(not kinematic, not triggers)

[wintry quarry]

you said that already

[echo cradle]

are uyopui just NOT allowed to use colliders if you want a pixel game?

[wintry quarry]

Who said that?

[echo cradle]

you?

jsut now?

[wintry quarry]

When did I say that?

I never said that

reread what I wrote

[echo cradle]

your code is moving objects in ways that don't respect collisions
try setting Rigidbody velocity

i am trying for pixel perfect movement

[wintry quarry]

yes, that's what I wrote

nothing there says you can't use colliders

[echo cradle]

so why. isn't. it.working jsut one way?

[wintry quarry]

Because you are moving your objects in ways that bypass collisions

like I said

            _boxCol.transform.position = Vector3.MoveTowards(_boxCol.transform.position, targetPos, _speed * Time.deltaTime);

You are directly moving the Transform

you can't do that

if you want collisions

MovePosition also doesn't respect collisions:

_rigidbody.MovePosition(_boxCol.transform.position);```

[echo cradle]

ok. HOW do i wnat collsiions in a pixle art game wher i want pixle perfectt collsions

[wintry quarry]

Well it really depends how the game works

is it like Pokemon where you can only move on a grid?

[echo cradle]

yes

[wintry quarry]

then there's no need for colliders at all

You just need to keep track of which grid positions are walkable and which aren't walkable

and don't allow the player to walk to any non-walkable coordinates

[echo cradle]

ok, is there any resources for adding that to rule tiles?

[wintry quarry]

no physics components at all

rule tiles are for graphics

tilemaps are for graphics

[echo cradle]

you got a youtuber that does this?

[wintry quarry]

no

[twin pivot]

My best solution is having an if statement for the x value and nest another one for the y value

[echo cradle]

so what do i do? trash this whole project and find SOMEONE that can code this basci fuckign game correctly?

[lethal meadow]

clearly you cant code it properly so probably yes

if people are trying to help and you're the problem dont be rude lmao

[dry cloak]

so it doesnt get drowend again

oop

nvm

[worthy tundra]

lol thanks but u dont have to do it, someone gave me bitshifting as a solution and im studying that

[dry cloak]

just noticed

[twin pivot]

This may be a bit stupid but couldnt you also just disable and enable its parent?

[dry cloak]

@waxen adder what if i just cast a seprate raycast when sliding?

[echo cradle]

rofl, no people are talking down to me 'why did you do it like this? this is wrong' i havent gotten any help ive been fucked by egos]

[echo cradle]

sure, thanks. sen most of theses allready

[lethal meadow]

youve been given help

offered alternatives

[dry cloak]

i sorta fixed it now i have other problems

of course right?

[frigid sequoia]

Can I search for script references on the editor?

Like "is there any object currently using this script?"

[teal viper]

If your ide(at least visual studio but I think vsc as well) is configured correctly, it should show the references in the editor above your class definition

[frigid sequoia]

Oh, right, it does. Does that effect prefabs or only in scene?

[teal viper]

I'm not sure. I'd assume it would list both prefabs and scenes.

There might be an option in the editor itself too, though I don't remember for sure.

[high summit]

So i'm new and working on my first game, Having an issue with raycasting, I followed a tutorial from someone online (Probably not the best idea) but that's how we learn right?

https://streamable.com/0g1buc

I'm having this very specific issue with it, As you can see it works flawless, Unless. I look at the object, and slowly back up without moving off the object lol. Super weird.
(can share code if needed)

[teal viper]

Do share the code.

[high summit]

Whats the best way to share code here?

I know people prefer specific pastebins etc

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

Thanks! hopefully that worked

That's the Interactor script

Then each object that i want interactable just has a

public void Interact()

And

public class clipboardinteract : MonoBehaviour, IInteractable

(The interactor script lives on the main camera) from the unity assets first person controller)

[teal viper]

I'd assume that you get an error in the console, right?

[high summit]

nothing shows to console as far as i'm aware

let me quickly check

nope console is clean

[teal viper]

Aah, actually nvm. The issue is that you only disable the text when there is a hit

You need to handle a case where the raycast does not hit anything at all

[high summit]

I dont fully understand c# yet obviously but

isnt that whats happening here? with the else

in the vid you can see, if i move to the left or right of the object, the text vanishes fine as it should

It's only when I keep it in my direct line of sight, Back up SLOWLY, get behind the range of 3 while still looking at it, it doesnt remove itself

[polar acorn]

This else condition runs when the if (hitInfo.collider.gameObject.TryGetComponent(out IInteractable interactObj) is false. So, whenever you are pointing at something that has no IInteractable component on it

[wintry quarry]

You're only handling the case when you hit something that doesn't have the interactable component on it

You're not handling the case where you didn't hit anything at all

[high summit]

Ohhh

[high summit]

In this case 'air'

Like when i'm backing up i'm hitting nothing

I'm tryna think of the logic of how this would work then

Not sure if it would be something like 'null or 'void'

Like what is 'nothing' in this instance?

[polar acorn]

You appear to be changing the name you're assiging a variable to

which can be literally anything you want

[high summit]

Oh wait

[teal viper]

Honestly, if you're following a tutorial, they should have it covered. Unless it's a very bad tutorial

[high summit]

Yeah it didnt cover it and I forgot which one it was now I kinda shot myself in the foot

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K06lVKiY-sY&ab_channel=Rytech

Found it

[teal viper]

Ok, look at the raycast documentation and investigate what happens if it doesn't hit anything.

[teal viper]

Ok, well this tutorial kinda assumes that you have the basics of coding and know about all the "components" and concepts mentioned in it.

[high summit]

https://discussions.unity.com/t/how-to-register-if-my-raycast-hits-nothing-solved/134613

I'm sure this is whats is happening in my code

I'll check the docs though

[teal viper]

Why are you looking at the forums. Why are you not looking at the documentation as I suggested?

[high summit]

had a look through and seemed to have fixed it with this

It's weird because I assumed the 'else' would do exactly what the if line below it does

because it's the else from the original if

[sour fulcrum]

the undefined state is here

you have an else if you hit something and it wasn't an interactable

but not an else if you didn't hit something

[high summit]

Ohhhh

[high summit]

Thanks so much, it's fixed, I thought something wasn't right, I read the docs and it was saying what I THOUGHT my code was doing, thanks again!

[sour fulcrum]

no worries

not ideal in all cases but a suggestion here to get you thinking is if this is in update or something you can simplify the logic by just disabling it first unconditionally

eg.

MyInteractFunction()

interactText.setactive(false)

if (various stuff)
interactText.SetActive(true)

[high summit]

Yeah, It's funny because, I have worked with python and java and I'm not sure why I didnt see that

Must be brain tired

[sour fulcrum]

sometimes it just be like that

[crisp vortex]

yo is copy and pasting a movement script a bad thing as a beginner?

[teal viper]

Yes. You should understand how it works first. What each line does exactly and the syntax behind it.

[high summit]

Howdy anybody know what a 'script' is in this instance?

It's hard to explain one moment

[wintry quarry]

You are supposed to write the actual type you are trying to reference

the class name for example

not "Script"

[high summit]

I mean what is a script though

a gameobject maskes sense

so does audio source

[wintry quarry]

Every time you write a MonoBehaviour class you are defining a type of component that can go on a GameObject

[high summit]

I need to drag that playerinput into the 'script' option

[wintry quarry]

That screenshot is showing two components

a PlayerInput and a pausescript

[wintry quarry]

then you would write PlayerInput as the type

[high summit]

Thanks again

Slight issue with cursor when pausing

I have a script when my game starts that disabled the cursor (which works great)

however when I pause I need to show the cursor

and then hide it when unpause

What happens is when I press escape to pause (in game view) this pulls me out of focus of the game, So i cant tell if the cursor actually appears. and then when I click back in, I dont have a cursor, but void Pause has 100% been ran

[wintry quarry]

For testing in the editor usually you want to bind things to a different key other than escape, since the Unity Editor uses that key for taking focus out of the game window

[high summit]

Good idea i'll try that real quick 😄

[wintry quarry]

Also, I would think most likely you don't want Cursor.visible but rather this: Most likely you want https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.0/Documentation/ScriptReference/Cursor-lockState.html

[high summit]

Doesnt that just freeze it in place?

Oh nvm

i cant read

hmm thats interesting

on start i set

 Cursor.lockState = CursorLockMode.Confined;

but i still have a moveable cursor in game

[wintry quarry]

confined means you have a moveable cursor, it just can't leave the game window

you want Locked generally for a first person game

[high summit]

This is so perfect. Yeah with the way I was going to do it, it would have been like tabbing out of the game with the mouse moving out the window

but now it's confined on pause

Thanks sm

[frigid sequoia]

Is there really no better way of doing this when calling a method from a button?

[wintry quarry]

you could add the listeners dynamically. e.g.

public Button[] myButtons;

void SetupListeners() {
  for (int i = 0; i < myButtons.Length; i++) {
    int temp = i; // this is important, don't neglect this
    myButtons[i].onClick.AddListener(() => AddFunction(temp));
  }
}```

but if you want to do it in the inspector you either have different functions or you pass the int parameter in in the inspector

[rich adder]

[SerializeField] private int commandId
public void CallCommand()
{
  commands[commandId];
}```

[wintry quarry]

that works too - the buttons would subscribe the onClick to that function onthemselves^

[frigid sequoia]

I am not quite understanding this. Is the last line just adding a listener to call that specific method with the value fo the position of the button on the array?

[frigid sequoia]

And this I am guessing I would need to have a way to tell which button it's being hovered or clicked over for that to work

[rich adder]

the idea would be each button has its own instance w number but i'd probably go with Praetors suggestion

[wintry quarry]

it's adding a listener to a specific button that calls AddFunction() with the appropriate integer parameter

[frigid sequoia]

Mmm, my grasp on eventListeners is like null, aren't button on themselves eventListeners already?

[wintry quarry]

I'm not sure what you mean by that

We're talking about listeners for when the button is clicked.

Isn't that what you're interested in?

[rich adder]

AddListener does the same thing that you do in the inspector OnClick but in code

it links a method to the event "OnClick"

[frigid sequoia]

Yes, but I didn't even knew you could pass parameters with eventListeners if you set them through code instead of setting them on the editor with the OnClick event

[rich adder]

its just a UnityEvent , in the inspector is the same you can pass or link dynamic values

[frigid sequoia]

So I were to run that on editor, would that show in the methods called by the Onclick?

[rich adder]

not sure what you mean

[frigid sequoia]

If I do AddListener on code and run that on editor to add a listener to a particular button and pass it a parameter would it show here?

[wintry quarry]

no

[rich adder]

no this is strictly for the inspector

[hazy cliff]

what causes a sound to not work?

through code

[frigid sequoia]

Many, many things. Volume? Do you have something to hear it? Are you sure you are playing it?

[hazy cliff]

yes and if I tick for it to play on awake it works but the code doesn't for whatever reason

[wintry quarry]

Do you have an audio listener in the scene?
Is it anywhere near the audio source?
Do you have sound enabled in your game view?

Oh also when and where in your code are you calling Play?
Are you doing it in Update?

[frigid sequoia]

I venture to say you are destroying the "gem" on pickup, thus destroying the audio source and stopping it inmediatly

[wintry quarry]

oh that too^^

[frigid sequoia]

Create an emtpy prefab holding the sound and destroy it after a few seconds

Not the most optimal, but the simplest

[wintry quarry]

Or use AudioSource.PlayClipAtPoint

[frigid sequoia]

And is there any particular reason to store the i on a temp here??

[wintry quarry]

yes, to avoid lambda variable capture

which would make this not work properly

without that, all of the buttons would use the highest number in the array when you clicked them

because that's the final value the i variable has.

[frigid sequoia]

Mmmm, pretty sure I have it used it wrong some times before then

I use the i a bunch of times for final values on these

[wintry quarry]

it depends what you're doing. This is a very specific case involving creating a lambda in the loop that makes it necessary

[frigid sequoia]

Now that I thinking about it, for how it's setup now, those buttons can be destroyed and created a bunch of times, would I have to remove the previous listeners or it's fine?

[wintry quarry]

you wouldn't have to remove the listeners

[twin sierra]

does anyone know why does it define infinity? i just put an "Random.Range(-15f, 15f)" as for the Y axis

oh thx

public class Move_Pipes : MonoBehaviour
{
    public float MoveSpeed = 5f;
    public float Dead_Zone = -45f;

    void Start()
    {
        
    }

    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update()
    {
        if (transform.position.x < Dead_Zone)
        {
            Destroy(gameObject);
        }
        transform.position = transform.position + new Vector3(-1 * MoveSpeed * Time.deltaTime, transform.position.y, 0);
    }
}```

here is the right script:

[wintry quarry]

you're adding transform.position.y to itself every single frame

it's going to get very large, very fast

hence the infinity

if you don't want to change the y position, you would add 0 to the y

like you are doing with z

[twin sierra]

z dosent change, but Y has to stay as it was creaated

[wintry quarry]

those are the same thing

not changing

use 0 there, not transform.position.y

[twin sierra]

so if i set 0 it wont change?

[wintry quarry]

anything + 0 is the thing you started with

notice this is a vector you are ADDING to the position

you are not SETTING the position to this vector

pay careful attention to the code.

[acoustic belfry]

inside a prefab i can reference each object?
i mean, i know you can't reference a prefab as different objects/prefabs, but one children of a prefab can reference it sibling?

i mean cuz i want to make an Enemy that throws projectiles at you, and if one touches you it TPs to you (like an Ender Perl, huh). So my plan was just referencing to the Enemy and changing it Transform.Position to the Player's Transform.Position and thats it, and it would be A LOT easier if it were done using referencing, u know the
[Serialized] Privated Gameobject Enemyname;
thing

[wintry quarry]

yes, you can drag and drop to reference objects within the prefab

[acoustic belfry]

nice, thanks :3

[wintry quarry]

I would recommend using a Transform reference here directly, not GameObject

[twin sierra]

works now thx 👍 😀

[acoustic belfry]

oh makes sense

well thanks :3

[twin sierra]

how can i fix this? it says it's inaccessible because of "protection level"

public Ui_Manager manager;
void Start()
{
    manager = GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag("Logic").GetComponent<Ui_Manager>();
}

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

void OnTriggerEnter2D(Collider2D collision)
{
    manager.AddScore();
}

[wintry quarry]

you should really be more specific and provide all the info when you ask a question. I'm going to guess you're talking about the manager.AddScore(); line. Presumably the AddScore(); method in UI_Manager is private. You need to make it public if you want other scripts to be able to call it.

[twin sierra]

yeah sorry about it, and yes, the method is public, other script:

public Text UI_Score;
public int score = 0;
void Start()
{
    UI_Score.text = score.ToString();
}

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

void RefreshScore()
{
    UI_Score.text = score.ToString();
}
public void AddScore()
{
    score++;   
    RefreshScore();
}

[wintry quarry]

you really need to provide the full error message you are getting with your question then

because with the code as you shared it, you wouldn't get that error

[twin sierra]

Assets\Scripts\ScoreTrigger.cs(20,17): error CS0122: 'Ui_Manager.AddScore()' is inaccessible due to its protection level

[wintry quarry]

Looks like you maybe forgot to save your changes to the Ui_Manager script.

[twin sierra]

fixed thx 😀

[frigid sequoia]

Should I worry much about doing this instead of adding a simple int counter on something that happens relatively frequently or it's fine?

The components get added from outside, but I am trying to not add variables that are redundant cause I am getting confused enough already lol

[teal viper]

What kind of counter? To replace what? And how? It's not entirely clear just from looking at the code.

[frigid sequoia]

A counter that basically goes ++ when adding component from outside and -- when removing it

[teal viper]

What's the purpose of it? I don't see how it's related to the shared code

[frigid sequoia]

I am getting the amount of components of the type command on an object, since they are meant to be capped, so whenver I add one I check how many it has already

[wintry quarry]

you could have that component register itself with some kind of central manager component which would/could keep track of the number that have registered

[teal viper]

Overall, using GetComponents every time is not ideal

[frigid sequoia]

Yeah, basically the counter I was referring to, and the optimal choice, the question is how bad it's to let it as it is

[wintry quarry]

if you're doing this often, it can be very bad

GetComponents<> returns a freshly allocated array

[teal viper]

Bad in terms of what? Performance? Readability?

[wintry quarry]

so that could be a ton of garbage collection

[frigid sequoia]

Performance, in readability it's just using a method over a variable

[teal viper]

As Praetor mentioned, it's not great, but only you can tell if it's significant enough in the context of your game.

[frigid sequoia]

You could expect it to happen once each 1-2 secs if they are spamming it

[wintry quarry]

once every 2 seconds is not bad

once every frame is bad

[frigid sequoia]

Kk, should be okeish then

[frigid sequoia]

Mmmm.... What am I messing up here? I never got these before

[keen cargo]

Seems like an unity editor bug, try restarting

[frigid sequoia]

Okay, so the error was that I am trying to add items from the top list to the bottom one 1 by 1 without ever removing the top one since, it's a reference. And it does so, but... beggining from the second item, they get.... removed from the original list? How can I even be doing that? It's trying to fins stuff that does no longer exists, that was the error

[unique slate]

Im kinda struggling with buffs and combo triggers.
Lets say i have 4 heroes. Hero 1 has a passive skill that says he gets healed by 5 if another hero deals a critical strike.
How would i implement this? Is there a way to make that skill listen for crits?

[naive pawn]

perhaps an observer pattern

[unique slate]

Will look into it, thanks!

How do I rotate something over time in eulers? I just can't do it

I tried 500 different methods and none of them work

[grand snow]

its quite easy so no idea what you were doing

[chrome apex]

I want to rotate something by X degrees on just one of the axes

that's al

I can't do it

[grand snow]

you need something like a coroutine to animate it from some rotation to another

or you use an animation

[chrome apex]

yes I have that

a coroutine

The newest method rotates me by 180 degrees which is an incorrect value

tried other methods, they either gave me no rotation or random rotations

[grand snow]

Share your code so we can see what is wrong

 randomTilt = Random.Range(40f, 65f);
        Vector3 targetPosition = new Vector3(Camera.transform.localPosition.x, 0.59f, Camera.transform.localPosition.z);
        
        float deltaZ = Mathf.DeltaAngle(Camera.transform.localEulerAngles.z, randomTilt);
        Vector3 targetRotation = new Vector3(Camera.transform.localEulerAngles.x, Camera.transform.localEulerAngles.x, deltaZ);

        while ((Camera.transform.localPosition.y - 0.59f) > 0.002f && (Camera.transform.localEulerAngles.z - deltaZ) > 0.2f)
        {
            Camera.transform.localPosition = Vector3.MoveTowards(Camera.transform.localPosition, targetPosition, 0.1f * Time.deltaTime);
            //Camera.transform.Rotate(Vector3.forward * (10f * Time.deltaTime), Space.Self);
            Camera.transform.localRotation = Quaternion.Euler(Vector3.Lerp(Camera.transform.localEulerAngles, targetRotation, 1f * Time.deltaTime));
            yield return null;
        }

That's the relevant part

[grand snow]

An example of linearly going from 1 rotation to another correctly

private IEnumerator Rotate(Vector3 from, Vector3 to)
{
    Quaternion fromQuat = Quaternion.Euler(from);
    Quaternion toQuat = Quaternion.Euler(to);

    float t = 0f;
    while (t < 1f)
    {
        t += Time.deltaTime;
        transform.rotation = Quaternion.Lerp(fromQuat, toQuat, t);
        yield return null;
    }
}

Your rotation lerp is doing 1 * delta (for some reason) so its going to only slowly move to your target rotation and never reach it

[chrome apex]

well it doesn't do that

it just turns me pretty fast and reaches 179 for some reason

without delta angel, it worked but from the wrong side

oh and it sometimes rotates the wrong axis from reason

[grand snow]

Camera.transform.localRotation = Quaternion.Euler(Vector3.Lerp(Camera.transform.localEulerAngles, targetRotation, 1f * Time.deltaTime));
This is bad because your from rotation is the current rotation, not the original start when the anim began. And your lerp factor is delta time.
In my example, we keep the start rotation and end rotation constant and we lerp to the goal over 1 second.

Perhaps you want rotate torwards? https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Quaternion.RotateTowards.html

[chrome apex]

ahhhh you're right

I need start rotation

[grand snow]

your lerp factor is still wrong though, it needs to go from 0 to 1 over the time frame you desire

doing Lerp(5, 10, Time.deltaTime) for example each frame will just give the same ish result cus delta time is gonna be like 0.016

[chrome apex]

I would use rotatetowards if I knew how to express a vector 3 axis as a quaternion. Does Quaternion.Euler work with that method?

[naive pawn]

yes

[queen adder]

one question is making a lot of function for like the most things like Movement() and CheckForGround() exc

good or bad?

[naive pawn]

neither

functions are generally for 2 things, reducing repeated code, and separating out independant subsections of complex code

(aside from providing functions for other classes or actions)

so if your function doesn't fall into those categories, it may be unnecessary; but that doesn't make it automatically bad

[queen adder]

okay thx

[grand snow]

Of course. It uses quaternions so you can make a quaternion from euler angles.
Rotations are always quaternions internally and euler angles are just a nice form for us humans to read.

[chrome apex]

now unity freezes

Quaternion targetRotation = Quaternion.Euler(0, 0, randomTilt);

        while ((Camera.transform.localPosition.y - 0.59f) > 0.002f && (Quaternion.Angle(Camera.transform.localRotation , targetRotation) > 0.1f));
        {
            Camera.transform.localPosition = Vector3.MoveTowards(Camera.transform.localPosition, targetPosition, 0.1f * Time.deltaTime);
            //Camera.transform.Rotate(Vector3.forward * (10f * Time.deltaTime), Space.Self);
            //Camera.transform.localRotation = Quaternion.Euler(Vector3.Lerp(Camera.transform.localEulerAngles, targetRotation, 1f * Time.deltaTime));*/
            Camera.transform.localRotation = Quaternion.RotateTowards(Camera.transform.localRotation, targetRotation, 1f * Time.deltaTime);
            yield return null;

[grand snow]

Infinite loop is a likely cause.
In my example I forgot to put the yield in btw

[chrome apex]

well I used yield

I didn't copy it

but there's a curly brace after null

OK I'm stupid

I put a semicolon after while

intellisense didn't even care about that one, the weirdo

ok fixed but it doesn't rotate

man I hate rotation

so unintuitive

[naive pawn]

does it highlight other errors?

[chrome apex]

no errors, nothing

but I'm back to not rotating now

[naive pawn]

i mean, if you put in an error, does it highlight that

[chrome apex]

yes

[naive pawn]

weird

[chrome apex]

it gave me a green squiggly underline

like it's not an error but incomplete

misunderstood the context or somethign

anyway, now fixed for good, my speed was far too low

but I still hate rotation

[spice elk]

Hallo, I want to trigger an event when a specific message was send in my youtube livestream chat. Does anyone know how to use the Youtube Api and search for a specific word in a comment in Unity?

[golden stump]

Hello I'm creating an RPG and I want to create a transition between my overworld and the battle scene. When the battle scene loads however I am unable to interact with buttons to perform commands. The battle starts when the player makes contact with the enemy. Can anyone help I'm really stuck

[sour fulcrum]

im not sure what that file is meant to be but thats useless to anyone

you need to post code

and the error

[keen cargo]

i think its the literal scene file

but yes post !code and maybe some more details of what the scene looks like in your editor

oh sorry Im an extreme novice. this is what my battle scene looks like

[grand snow]

Missing an event system when you change to this scene?

[golden stump]

I have an event system for both my overworld and battle scene but not really sure what to do

can i post videos here

[grand snow]

Yes

[golden stump]

Heres the video. As you can see, when I try to interact with the buttons the mouse just dissapears.

I created a transition script but I don't know what else I can do.

Thanks for the help in advance. This is really draining me

The battle scene works perfectly when I play it from it's scene. It's just when it transitions

[keen dew]

You have the mouse hidden in the overworld scene. It's going to stay that way unless you reveal it in the scene where you do want it visible

[golden stump]

Alright How would I change it?

[keen dew]

Well how do you hide it?

[golden stump]

Nevermind I got it to work. Thank you so much

Though is there any reason as to why the screen goes darker when it transitions?

[analog pivot]

ugh why is code so... hard im not feeling my exp bar irl with it going up

[rare basin]

xd

[grand snow]

Is it from the UI? (disable the canvas to check) Have any post processing in the scenes? Light not as bright in this new scene?

[frigid sequoia]

Still not finding what the heck is going on here, there is no other way of removing a single item from a list without using one of the remove methods right?

[grand snow]

wtf is a "lost"?
You must be doing something funky to cause those editor gui errors. Setting the value at an index in an array/list is valid

You can use Remove() to remove the first matching element in a list OR RemoveAt() to remove the specific index.
The list elements AFTER the element removed get moved up to fill the empty space.

[frigid sequoia]

Yeah, it's checking the command list to get the lowest id value on those, then looking for that value to get what command should be next to move into the active commands list, then it adds it to the active commands, but I am somehow removing item from the command list when it shouldn't be the case, that list should never be modified

[grand snow]

Is this in play mode or edit mode?

[frigid sequoia]

I was actually trying to make the command list readonly but I am too dumb to get the right declaration for that I guess lol

[grand snow]

List<int> myList = new(){1, 2, 3};
public IReadOnlyList<int> readOnlyList => myList;

[grand snow]

Use a debugger to check what your code is really doing to these lists as you should not 100% rely on the inspector to check everything happening

[frigid sequoia]

Yeah, I have gone throught where the code os going a bunch of times and added logs, but... I don't see anything that could remove items from the list with the methods I am calling

[grand snow]

No not with logs, with a debugger: https://unity.huh.how/debugging/debugger

You will put a break point where this process begins and step though and check what is actually happening

instead of shit logs and guessing afterwards wtf is wrong 🙃

[frigid sequoia]

Mmmm... I guess I would place a breakpoint on each execution, but... I don't think I'll be able to catch anything with that either

I think I am calling something else, but not sure how, or what

[grand snow]

a breakpoint when hit will pause execution and from there you can step forward a line manually and inspect stuff. You can then "Continue" to unpause execution and go back to normal

You should share your current code if you still need help with it

[surreal sundial]

is this a good idea for multiple objects

sometimes objects with the script attached don't work

[teal viper]

This is quite unreliable. You should query input in update.

[surreal sundial]

did, same issue

i think it has to do with the collider

[teal viper]

Possibly. I'd just use a raycast on your player controller. Way more reliable and easier to debug.

[surreal sundial]

yeah it was a collider i forgot to remove, i'm already using raycast for a few different things so i'm gonna avoid it

Why can't I find any of my dragFuel methods here?

I don't have any compiler errors

[ripe shard]

unity events can't target methods that have structs as arguments

[high summit]

Made a button on a pause menu to go back to the menu

    public void OnStart()
    {

        SceneManager.LoadScene("menu");
    }

It works, Switches to menu, But when I then go back to the game (aka start the main game scene again) my character controller cannot move? I can look around with the mouse, but not move around with WASD, any ideas?

To start the game in the main menu I have

    public void OnStart()
    {

        SceneManager.LoadScene("main");
    }

[ripe shard]

which character controller are you using?

[rose burrow]

error CS1061: 'PlayerInput.OnFootActions' does not contain a definition for 'Look' and no accessible extension method 'Look' accepting a first argument of type 'PlayerInput.OnFootActions' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

I'm an idiot.. my pause menu sets time to 0.. but then if you click return to menu it leaves the time at 0 lol

Thats why i cant move

[twin sierra]

hi! i needed an quick help, i wanted an object to rotate around an empty object i made, and for it i used the "transform.rotateAround" function, i put the transform position of the other object in the 1'st paremeter and in the second i up "Vector3.up" and the third as "20 * Time.deltaTime", i started the game and the object suposed to rotate around the middle one disapiers.

Script:

public GameObject Middle;
// Start being used as test
void Start()
{
    transform.RotateAround(Middle.transform.position, Vector3.up, 20 * Time.deltaTime);
}

Screenshots:

[night mural]

The docs say:

Rotates the transform about axis passing through point in world coordinates by angle degrees.

[twin sierra]

i used the code the docs put

[night mural]

yours isn't in update though

they're also rotating around the 3d world's Y axis

does that make sense for your game?

[twin sierra]

oh

[twin sierra]

actually not

im trying to build an copy of the tap game

it rotates and you have to tap on an ball that apears randomly

but even when the game is not running the sprite dosent show up

the red one

maybe an render issue?

fixed it

camera Z axis was 0

put it on -10 and it got back to normal

[high summit]

Urgh goofed up my project

Ok so

Im just trying to make a scoring system for when a wave a blocks gets past the player, count up by 1

i clone a whole bunch of block projectiles, so i would need a reference to those blocks to get their transform so i can see if they have gone low enough to count as a passed wave

the block is a prefab

[halcyon linden]

can someone help me out with a vr horror game?

[harsh haven]

I used Debug.Log and waveNum does increase as the waves fall

using UnityEngine;

public class Block : MonoBehaviour
{

    public int waveNum;
    void Start()
    {
        
        GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>().gravityScale += Time.timeSinceLevelLoad / 15f;
    }

    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update()
    {

        if (transform.position.y < -2)
        {
            waveNum++;
            Destroy(gameObject);

        }
    }
}

Heres the Block code

[naive pawn]

there should be a single "score" counter, that's correct as is - score should be centralized, there should only be 1 central score

but since there are multiple blocks that are created dynamically, that shouldn't be centralized; each block should be able to know when it's passed the threshold (perhaps passing that into a script on the prefab) and then just inform the centralized score that something should change

[harsh haven]

so the block should get a reference to the wavespawner, telling the wavespawner to increase score by 1 instead?

[naive pawn]

blockClone doesn't magically know about the cloned objects, it's just the original. the original doesn't change since it's not in the scene (hopefully)

[naive pawn]

something like that, yeah

[harsh haven]

I did this at first, i agree its the better approach and had another issue

Let me send that too

[harsh haven]

Yea thats what i was thinking to why it wouldn't work

and dragging into the scene wouldn't do anything cause im still cloning it

Give me 1 minute to get my other approach

Ok so i tried referening the score TextMesh from the BlockSpawner

[halcyon linden]

im using an old version of gtag as a base, trying to make an entity that goes toward the player, no anims, just flying, and will do a jumpscare and close the game after. its gonna be a rare 1/100 every hour chance

[harsh haven]

the blockspawner would increase the waveNum variable, and the Textmseh would get that variable

however in the unity inspector, everytime I dragged in my Score textmesh on the canvas

it did not recognize it and said type mismatch

which confused me cause in blockspawner i have public Score waveNum

[naive pawn]

you mightve just used the wrong type yeah

[harsh haven]

so dragging in the score textmesh should be the same type??

[naive pawn]

im confused

[harsh haven]

I was too thats why i did other crappy method

[naive pawn]

"the score textmesh" as in, the object that has.. just the textmesh?

[harsh haven]

yea just this score

[naive pawn]

and does that gameobject have the Score script..?

[harsh haven]

yes

sometimes i would delete on the blockspanwer inspector, and i was able to drag the score script successfully

but i would run and it would change to the type mismatch

[naive pawn]

are you currently back to that version of code

(btw, why are you adding to the gravity scale like that? you're adding snap, the 4th derivative of time)

[harsh haven]

Idk lol im new

[harsh haven]

No, i am trying a 3rd approach that seems way more promising, but whether this works or not, im going to retype that other issue in like 3-4 minutes

cause i still want to know why that wasn't working

Ah

this 3rd approach is having the exact same issue

so this works for demonstration too

[naive pawn]

make sure you've saved and recompiled all scripts

[harsh haven]

Yep i have

alright sending a few things rn

using UnityEngine;

public class Block : MonoBehaviour
{

    public Score scoring;
    void Start()
    {
        
        GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>().gravityScale += Time.timeSinceLevelLoad / 15f;
    }

    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update()
    {

        if (transform.position.y < -2)
        {
            scoring.IncreaseScore();
            Destroy(gameObject);

        }
    }
}

using TMPro;
using UnityEngine;

public class Score : MonoBehaviour
{
    public TextMeshProUGUI score;
    public int currentScore;
    //public BlockSpawner currentSpawner;

    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update()
    {
        score.text = currentScore.ToString();
        if (currentScore < 0)
        {
            score.text = "0";
        }
    }
    
    public void IncreaseScore()
    {
        currentScore++;
    }
}

BlockSpawner script no longer relevant

This is where you can see the block prefab with its script in the inspector

I drag in my score Text mesh

[naive pawn]

oh, you're trying to reference something in the scene through a prefab

yeah one sec

[harsh haven]

Ah

[naive pawn]

https://unity.huh.how/references/prefabs-referencing-components

[harsh haven]

thank you!

[naive pawn]

assign the Score in the BlockSpawner instead, and then assign that to the Blocks when you instantiate them

[harsh haven]

so prefabs can never reference something in the scene?

[naive pawn]

yeah, since prefabs exist outside scenes

[harsh haven]

makes sense

[naive pawn]

sorry that took so long, this isn't a super rare issue, i just haven't had to help anyone with this issue yet lol

[harsh haven]

nah i really really appreciate it and i wanted to get all my approaches out there too

so i could like fully understand this stuff

[frigid sequoia]

How is this failing just sometimes? I don't get it

The command that I am telling it remove is on the list 100%

It even happens if I use Clear() instead, how?

[naive pawn]

it looks like the error is because it's removed?

[frigid sequoia]

Yeah, but the error happens, precisely when it is NOT

[naive pawn]

try adding a print after the Remove call?

[frigid sequoia]

Like it removes it properly when it works, but not when failing

[naive pawn]

see if that's logged when the error happens

you sure this is a beginner issue lol

[frigid sequoia]

????? How?

[frigid sequoia]

It's literally passing data between 2 lists, like....

Pretty sure it's me using a loop wrong somewhere, but I am unable to find it

[grand snow]

Ive never seen these serialization errors, perhaps you need to reset the component and re assign stuff and see if it helps
something is messed up, runtime changes should be just fine

Or... just stop having the active list serialized

[frigid sequoia]

Why would it showing in the inspector cause issues?

Isn't that what serialized is for?

[grand snow]

I presume the issue is you remove an element but the inspector still shows it. The error logged also mentions this list and element 0 so its surely related.

So a potential solution is to use [NonSerialized] so its not fucked with

[naive pawn]

and activeCommands is just a List?
the errors there aren't directly from list operations, it's from what the editor is trying to do after the list operations

[frigid sequoia]

I don't think the editor should be trying to do anything, no

[naive pawn]

me neither, i agree it's weird

[grand snow]

thats why i think the component needs a reset (via ... menu) or remove and re add it

[frigid sequoia]

Could it be that I am destroying the object before removing it from the list sometimes somehow?

Cause shouldn't be the case

Removed the component, added it back in, didn't seem to work, I just edited a freaking log string after that and now it doesn't show..... Aaaah, why??? I am so confused!!

[naive pawn]

editor issues be like

[earnest wind]

uhm this is pretty weird

public void Test()
    {
        Testing = !Testing;
        Debug.Log($"Testing is {Testing}");
        if(!Testing)
        {
            StopTest();
        }
        else 
        {
            StartCoroutine(StartTest());
        }
    }

private void StopTest()
    {
        Debug.Log("Ended Testing");
    }

And the result of debug.log is!! HUH?

[slender nymph]

consider printing the value of Testing in your StopTest method. also check the stack trace

[earnest wind]

ah wait the corontine was waiting for microphone to get stopped so that ui stops too

got me scared lol

[frigid sequoia]

Could this be removing from the commands list on way a that I do not understand?

Cause the idea was to create a copy of it to get which ones are on the commands list but not on the inactive commands list

[polar loom]

just started scripting today, would this work?

[frigid sequoia]

There is nothing on that script that could work, like you have, quite literally, not done a single command

[polar loom]

i mean the header

[frigid sequoia]

Not as a comment and not with nothing below it

[polar loom]

yeah i just wanted to see if it would show in unity

[polar loom]

do you know any good tuts to help me learn

[frigid sequoia]

Pretty much anything you find on your first google search would work

[polar loom]

cause a lot of the tuts i find just teach you to copy what they put and not actually learn

[frigid sequoia]

Go to Unity Learn, it's pretty decent to learn the basics

But, again, any youtube vid would do the trick

[polar loom]

thanks

watching a tut now

[polar loom]

just watched a small tut, according to the tut this should work?

so when i boot my game up it will display hello in the console

it worked!!!! finally my first code that I made

[meager siren]

void Start()
    {
        rb = GetComponent<Rigidbody>();
        rb.freezeRotation = true;
        cameraTransform = Camera.main.transform;

        Cursor.lockState = CursorLockMode.Locked;
        Cursor.visible = false;

        // Enable interpolation for smoother visual movement
        rb.interpolation = RigidbodyInterpolation.Interpolate;
    }

    void Update()

anyone know why its so jittery? im still learning the components, statements and syntax for Unityengine, and It itself and I can figure out why its so jittery, i can send a ss of my player as well

[novel nymph]

Unity keeps giving me these errors but there is nothing wrong with the game, can anybody please tell me how to fix this?

[wintry quarry]

Did you enable interpolation on your Rigidbody?

[meager siren]

yep

[wintry quarry]

How is your camera moving?

[meager siren]

wdym

hold on, what did i do to my code yesterday

gimme a second

now my player aint moving

what did i do 😭

[meager siren]

oh, the camera is a child of the player

[polar loom]

does anyone have an extra horror ai script? i cant seem to find any

[harsh haven]

got the strangest error ever going on rn

[harsh haven]

this is after attempting to this up

So heres my blockspawner

using UnityEngine;
using TMPro;

public class BlockSpawner : MonoBehaviour
{

    public Transform[] spawnPoints;

    public Block blockPrefab;

    private float timeToSpawn = 2f;
    public float timeBetweenWaves = 1f;

    private Score scoreCounter;

    // Start is called once before the first execution of Update after the MonoBehaviour is created
    void Update()
    {
        
        if (Time.time >= timeToSpawn)
        {
            SpawnBlocks();
            timeToSpawn = Time.time + timeBetweenWaves;
        }
    }

    public void SpawnBlocks()
    {
        int randomIndex = Random.Range(0, spawnPoints.Length);

        for (int i=0; i<spawnPoints.Length; i++)
        {
            if (randomIndex != i)
            {
                Block blockInstance = Instantiate(blockPrefab, spawnPoints[i].position, Quaternion.identity);
                blockInstance.Initialise(scoreCounter);
            }
        }
    }
}

Here's my block code

using UnityEngine;

public class Block : MonoBehaviour
{

    private Score score;
    void Start()
    {
        
        GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>().gravityScale += Time.timeSinceLevelLoad / 15f;
    }

    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update()
    {
    if (transform.position.y < -2)
        {
            Destroy(gameObject);

        }
    }

    public void Initialise(Score scoreCounter)
    {
        score = scoreCounter;
        //score.IncreaseScore();
    }
}

using TMPro;
using UnityEngine;

public class Score : MonoBehaviour
{
    public TextMeshProUGUI score;
    public int currentScore;
    //public BlockSpawner currentSpawner;

    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update()
    {
        score.text = currentScore.ToString();
        if (currentScore < 0)
        {
            score.text = "0";
        }
    }
    
    public void IncreaseScore()
    {
        currentScore++;
    }
}

and here my Score code

This shouldn't work, but i just wanted to get all the referencing setup properly

anyway... if you look at the commented code in the Block scrip

if i uncomment that... which should just run the IncreaseScore method, increasing that random integer by 1 for score

it literally causes my blocks to infinetly clone every frame and glitch out the whole game???

I have absolutely no idea whats going in, my code seems like it would just be increasing an integer meant for a text after Initialising

[pliant abyss]

Non-looping animation firing twice

[wintry quarry]

make sure you didn't put the block spawner script on the block itself for example

[harsh haven]

you see my script right? i dont think i have that at all

[wintry quarry]

you don't think you have what at all?

[harsh haven]

the block spawner script on the block itself

[wintry quarry]

can you show the prefab?

[harsh haven]

It doesn't clone infinetely unless i uncomment that one line

And i have no idea how that line could be related when its controlling an integer only used for the textmesh

[wintry quarry]

collapse all the components so we can see them all

and show us which object we're actually looking at

[wintry quarry]

my theory about the infinite spawning is this:

• You never assigned a value to your scoreCounter variable in the BlockSpawner script
• Therefore you are going to get a NullReferenceException in the Initialize function when you call score.increaseScore();
• That means the timeToSpawn = Time.time + timeBetweenWaves; line is never running
• That means you will call SpawnBlocks every frame because the timer is never updated.

that's your issue

in fact I'm 100% certain

So my advice:

• Pay attention to your console window, it's telling you important errors you are ignoring.

[harsh haven]

should i make my scoreCounter variable public in blockspawner

[wintry quarry]

I know the first bullet point is true because it's a private variable and never assigned in the code

[harsh haven]

Yea actually

ur right

why is it private

[wintry quarry]

if you wish to assign it in the inspector, yes it should be public or have [SerializeField]

[harsh haven]

it has no idea what Score to Initialize righT?

[queen adder]

how do i fix this?

[wintry quarry]

yes, you are passing it null reference

[harsh haven]

thank u haha

[wintry quarry]

Spell MonoBehaviour properly

also you need to configure your IDE

!ide

[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

[queen adder]

😭 i didnt see that

[wintry quarry]

you didn't see it because your IDE is not configured

get it configured immediately

[queen adder]

ok

[meager siren]

Random suggestion, you should put your scripts in a “Scripts” folder so its more organized. Just a suggestion.

[frigid sequoia]

Massively ashamed of this snipet lol

Can I not do this better??

[teal viper]

Technically, you don't need to force rebuild ui. If you do you're probably doing something unnatural with it.

And if you do, calling it on the parent should be enough

[frigid sequoia]

I am adding stuff to the layout and it's not updating properly

I am calling the parent to update in cascade cause apparently it does not do that by default

[teal viper]

Then you're probably having some contradicting setup. Like having a size fitter or something with a layout group

[frigid sequoia]

Many of those, yes

[teal viper]

Well, then perhaps rethink this setup. They're not intended to be used together

[frigid sequoia]

Quite literally falls over without those

[teal viper]

Falls over?

[wintry quarry]

Transform curr = transform;
while (curr != null) {
  if (curr is RectTransform rt) LayoutBuilder.BlahBlahBlah(rt);
  curr = curr.parent;
}```

[teal viper]

Anyway, you should probably take it to #📲┃ui-ux if you want to fix your ui properly.

[queen adder]

Hey privateIK isnt found and i imported System.Collections.Generic

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections.Generic;
public class PlayerGunSelector : MonoBehaviour
{
[SerializeField]
private GunType Gun;
[SerializeField]
private Transform GunParent;
[SerializeField]
private List<GunScriptableObject> Guns;
[SerializeField]
private PlayerIK InverseKinematics;
}

[frigid sequoia]

Like these, it tells me I should not use them together, but if don't add the content Size Fitter it does not occupy any space on the layout and everything overlaps on it

[wintry quarry]

What does "privateIK isnt found" mean?

[queen adder]

Invserse Kinematics

[wintry quarry]

Ok but what does that have to do with the code you posted

[queen adder]

no i meant PlayerIK

[wintry quarry]

Did you define that class?

What does System.Collections.Generic have to do with anything?

It certainly doesn't contain anything called PlayerIK

[queen adder]

yea i see i fixed it

[teal viper]

Canvas UI is pretty tricky to get something like this working. If I remember correctly, you'd need to have them on separate objects. The thing is that a layout group resizes the children to fit its own size, while a content size fitter resizes itself to fit the children, so it kinda creates a contradiction, since the UI system doesn't know what rule to follow.

Maybe someone in ui channel can guide you better on this, but having these components on the same object is definitely not a solution.

[frigid sequoia]

Not how it's intended to work, but works for me

[teal viper]

Well, it forces you to do weird and unreliable stuff like forcing the UI to rebuild

It might have other issues and/or work differently on different platforms/in the build.

[frigid sequoia]

It's consistent if you tell the parent to be reloaded, it does always the same thing

But surely, I am using it wrong and should learn it better

[safe root]

What is the best way loop for enemy spawning?

For a wave base game

[frigid sequoia]

When an enemy dies, check if it's the last one, and if it is, call next wave

[safe root]

I want it to be constant spawning

[frigid sequoia]

Well, then just call them each X seconds or make a pattern, or even make the intervals and quantity of enemies random, there is a bunch of ways

[safe root]

But what loop works best for that?

[frigid sequoia]

What are u ven asking there? Just drop it in update and make a timer

[safe root]

Well I need more control of it. Right now i'm trying to use a Enumerator but they spawn way to fast even tho I have a spawn interval

[sour fulcrum]

What control do you need

[safe root]

Where to spawn, how long to wait, making sure they don't spawn inside a object, etc

[wintry quarry]

those all sound like separate concerns

[sour fulcrum]

Ensuring where they spawn and ensuring they have space to spawn is not related to what loop you would want to use

[safe root]

Fair, but still knowing the best for it would be nice

[wintry quarry]

there is no "best" in general, it's going to boil down to your specific requirements and needs here.

The first step is figuring out how to express those requirements.

For example: "I want to spawn one enemy every 5 seconds"

[frigid sequoia]

Like, it depends 100% on the design of what kind of game you want to do and "a best loop" may not even exist, multiple are equally valid

[safe root]

Fair, but can someone help me why they are spawn in less then a second even with the delay that should be there? https://paste.ofcode.org/eKL3Zzznn9zNCmjCQtipfj

[wintry quarry]

you can't just yield return a float in a coroutine

that will wait just one frame

you would need yield return new WaitForSeconds(SpawnInterval);

[safe root]

Oh yeah

Sorry

[queen adder]

Hey it says i have an error while shooting my gun and i dont see any errors

everything here is set too

[sour fulcrum]

We can’t see what line is 41

Nor can we see the gun scriptableobject

[queen adder]

line 41 is ShootSytem.play();

[queen adder]

gunscriptable object is the glock model

[polar acorn]

What do you mean you can't see any errors? It's right there

[queen adder]

yea but doesnt make sense

[polar acorn]

What doesn't make sense about it? Something on line 41 is null but you're trying to use it anyway

[sour fulcrum]

classes are not models so no

[polar acorn]

So, ShootSystem is null

[queen adder]

ill come back if i cant fix it

[frigid sequoia]

How could I remove interaction over a whole menu under a given condition?

Like remove the pointer events on X objects directly

[queen adder]

for shootsystem its a particle system and i already added a value so i dont understand how could it be null and even if i do set for the shootsystem to work even if its null i get this error which i set up when the gun is not null

[polar acorn]

So, that error says that there's nothing in Guns that has a Type of Gun

So, what's in Guns

[polar acorn]

You could remove the GraphicsRaycaster from the canvas

[frigid sequoia]

That's what I was thinking, but I don't want all components in the canvas to be dissable just some parts of it

[polar acorn]

You could use a Canvas Group to toggle interactables off for an entire group
https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.ugui@1.0/manual/class-CanvasGroup.html

[queen adder]

the gun scriptables

[frigid sequoia]

Oh, I see, may be tricky with scrolls tho

[polar acorn]

So there's nothing in that list that has the Type of whatever Gun is

[queen adder]

i see i set it up wrong

dang ill have to write more lines of code to fix this issue

[muted flax]

hello, i want to ask
the Container is just empty object
why when I click the object, nothing happens
the code is still empty

private void OnMouseDown() {
    Debug.Log("Coin collected!");
}

[teal viper]

I think you need an event system in the scene for OnMouseDown to work. And a physics raycaster as well probably.

[safe root]

How do I change my Vector2 to instead go X and Z instead of X and Y?

https://paste.ofcode.org/NhvtHS9f6vDEtwpVVKVSXu

[keen dew]

You have to convert it to a Vector3 that has Z set to the Vector2's Y. Also note that multiplying the result of Random.insideUnitCircle with the position doesn't make much sense.

public Vector3 RandomPointInAnnulus(Vector3 origin, float minRadius, float maxRadius)
{
    Vector2 randomDirection = Random.insideUnitCircle.normalized;
    float randomDistance = Random.Range(minRadius, maxRadius);
    Vector3 point = origin + new Vector3(randomDirection.x, 0, randomDirection.y) * randomDistance;

    return point;
}

[safe root]

Why is that if you could explain more

[keen dew]

Which part?

[safe root]

Why mutilplying it doesn't make sense

[keen dew]

The object's current position doesn't have anything to do with generating a random direction so the result is nonsense

Imagine for example if the object is at (0, 0) then multiplying the direction with it would always result in (0, 0)

[safe root]

Yeah, that makes a lot more sense

[muted flax]

so, i just only need to add new "event system" object and add the "physics raycaster" component inside it?

[safe root]

I think he means adding a physics raycaster to the player so it can tell when it's looking at the object

Or if it's the mouse, the mouse is over the coin

[lean cipher]

how do you paste code like this????

thank you

[teal viper]

Yes

[nimble apex]

its still in planning stage, but i planned to save down input action mapping as json data , and reapply when user login or when its needed

if i gonna let users to customize their keybinds

this thing should be saved locally, not on server, waste of space

so does other player related stuff like setting preferences

[stuck field]

Are you asking how this can be accomplished or?

[nimble apex]

is this design acceptable? or if we have a better approach plz share

especially on input system part

[stuck field]

Saving to json would be fine and then loading it in, saving when the application is closing, loading when it starts

[nimble apex]

good 👍

ty

[glossy crystal]

Hello, Is there a tutorial that introduces the very basics? I've followed along but I don't understand where is the entry point of the game?

[stuck field]

!learn

[eternal falcon]

:teacher: Unity Learn ↗

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

[glossy crystal]

Yes I'm following one now, the roguelike but I don't get how the unity engine knows what classes govern what

what is the entry point, what monobehavior is, etc

[stuck field]

Modifiers, like public, internal, private

[sour fulcrum]

It doesn't, that's up to you to decide overall

[stuck field]

Monobehaviour is a class that unity uses to determine objects

Or something

[sour fulcrum]

components

[stuck field]

Yeah, gives access to unity functions like Start, Update, Awake, stuff like that

[sour fulcrum]

you'd probably have to ask more specific questions or theoretical examples to help get can understanding of what your looking for specifically here

[glossy crystal]

Okay thank you, I'll try to come up with a more specific one

Okay so like: Right now, I have a PlayerCharacter gameobject, a BoardManager, and a GameManager which governs both the player and the board (via composition).
1st question: In the inspector tab for the GameManager class, do only player controller show up and board manager because they inherit from MonoBehavior? And TurnManager is just a c# class, carrying some data unrelated to Unity?
2nd: How does unity know which file is the entry point for my "game"? I could have multiple GameManager gameobjects, and how would it know which one to draw to the screen?

where do I just go to learn about this basic workflow stuff instead of following a guide to make a basic game and learn some of this on the side?

[stuck field]

I think you're going about this all the wrong way

[glossy crystal]

what is the correct way? sry im new

[sour fulcrum]

playercontroller and boardmanager show up because you assumably have them using the public accessor. If a field is marked as public or explicitly via [SerializeField] and supports serialization and inspector display Unity will show it in the inspector like that. This is supported by unity kind of on a case by case basis but supports a majority of types (a big outlier for example are dictionaries)

Unity doesn't know nor care about an entry point for your game. having a "GameManager" object is an interpretation you have made up which is fine but doesn't have any actual standing in the context of Unity. (also drawing to the screen is irrelevant in this question).

Anything deriving from MonoBehaviour recieves the Awake and Start call when they are first created and enabled for the first time. This is the most common entry point to start composing a system of your choosing. (but not the only way)

[glossy crystal]

Okay so things that inherit from monobehavior will implicitly support inspector display? And I have to do it manually for c# classes?

TurnManager there was public, so this is the only difference

[sour fulcrum]

usually yeah. for base/poco classes you will need to explicitly mark the class with a [System.Serializable] attribute in order for Unity to show and serialize them. You may also need to mark the field using them with [SerializeReference] depending on your usecase and expectations

[safe root]

I forgot how but how do I get this Random.range to also work as a int for the if statment?

[sour fulcrum]

If your coming into Unity new with prior c# experience it may be worth trying to use MonoBehaviours as much as possible to get comfortable with the Unity workflow (but base/poco class usage is totally valid overall ofc)

[glossy crystal]

Okay, thank you! that clears up my questions and yes I will try to use monobehaviors more to get used to it

[sour fulcrum]

no worries

a majority of people end up using some form of a singleton pattern to create those kind of gamemanagers and such

makes things a lot easier

[shut swallow]

can't you save the int as variable and call the variable instead?

[safe root]

How would I do that cause I want both Random.Range to equal the same

[shut swallow]

var randomInteger = Random.Range(0, Enemies.Length)

and whenever you need a new randomInteger, set the variable again when called

[safe root]

Well the same problem happens

[stuck field]

What is the problem

[safe root]

I need the var to be a int not a Gameobject

[stuck field]

This will result in an int

[shut swallow]

persumably that if you repeat call on while loops you should get a new number every tick the code was ran

[stuck field]

This will result in a gameobject because you are taking a gameobject out of a list or something

[sour fulcrum]

@glossy crystal this is super generic but just a super duper rough example of using a singleton along with an objects awake call to get some form of workflow going

public class GameManager : MonoBehaviour
{
    private static GameManager _instance;
    public static GameManager Instance
    {
        get
        {
            if (_instance == null)
                _instance = Object.FindFirstObjectByType<GameManager>();
            return (_instance);
        }
    }

    public List<MyContentExample> AllActiveContents { get; private set; } = new List<MyContentExample>();

    public void RegisterContent(MyContentExample content)
    {
        //stuff with content
        allActiveContents.Add(content);
    }
}

public class MyContentExample : MonoBehaviour
{
    private void Awake()
    {
        GameManager.Instance.RegisterContent(this);
    }
}

[shut swallow]

what are you looking for then

float?

[stuck field]

What do you mean?

I'm not looking for anything

What do you want your code to do?

[safe root]

Never mind, I figured what I did wrong

[shut swallow]

sorry i was responding to this

[shut swallow]

lmfao sorry for the confusion mb

[stuck field]

Partially my fault for not realizing you weren't the same person

[shut swallow]

🫠

[glossy crystal]

thank you!

[safe root]

So I want the code to to a assigned number which equals a certain enemy. I want to use this number to select what enemies going the spawn and what how far they'll spawn compared to other as well later. Where i'll be setting different spawn times

[stuck field]

Possibly due to your math, slideFriction might be going up rather than down and it moves you that way

[safe root]

So the problem I have now, is that I can't turn that int back into a gameObject. I need it to do both

[shut swallow]

my suggestion is to have some var randomness = Random.Range() to generate a random number in the range and call it every time you need to have a new number

then you can perserve the number for calculations but also get a new random number later

[stuck field]

Just store both the GameObject and int, or just get it from the list again like you are already doing with the number

[safe root]

But how would I turn that number back into the array so I can get it

[stuck field]

array[number]

That will return the object at index of number in the array

It's the same thing you are doing right now

[safe root]

Oh, let me try that then

I probably being stupid but what am I doing wrong

[stuck field]

Everything

[safe root]

Makes sense

So what's all wrong

[stuck field]

I would hope you know the basics of doing things in unity, right?

[safe root]

I know everything that I tried before

[shut swallow]

if currentVelocity -= currentVelocity * (slideFriction * deltaTime) and slideFriction is positive and less than one, it should always output a lower number

[stuck field]

Well you can't really go:

GameObject enemyToSpawn

You can go

(GameObject)enemyToSpawn however it's redundant since to convert to a GameObject, it would already need to be something similar, in which case you can just put enemyToSpawn

[safe root]

I know that but it doesn't exist in the curent context. So there is something that I need to put before it.

[stuck field]

Well, I'm not very smart when it comes to math, so I won't be of much help spotting a mathematical issue aside from the possibly obvious factors, since it deals with a lot of math, #archived-code-general or #archived-code-advanced would be best as people in there likely know more than me

[shut swallow]

ight thanks

[stuck field]

Also, remember to delete your post from in here if you are gonna ask in there as it's a recent post, just to prevent multiple answers, confusion, and such

[stuck field]

Then it doesn't exist

Putting something before it, same issue, it won't exist

The variable doesn't exist

[shut swallow]

yea originally i asked in general but seems like no response so tried my luck here

[teal viper]

Need to go over C# basics. Specifically over class fields.

[sour fulcrum]

darks advice is really weird ngl

[sour fulcrum]

the issue here is you want

GameObject enemyToSpawn = Enemies[randomInteger] not Enemies[randomInteger] = GameObject enemyToSpawn

the logic is the wrong way around

[stuck field]

Oh yeah

Oops

[safe root]

While that would be good, none of it will stick unless I put it to use. I have gone and done it. Most of the stuff I learned is in here

[stuck field]

Well, you can go over it, then put it to use right as you are going over it

Code along with the basics, test it out, then continue

[teal viper]

Well definitely not what I mentioned

And yeah, perhaps go over variable assignment as well

but its not a parent so i dont know how it would affect anything

[wintry quarry]

Anyway the solution here is basically to add more logging. Just do some basic to debugging that questions your assumptions

[sour fulcrum]

there is nothing in this conversation that would make it's parent/child relationship relevant

[warped kindle]

Im following a tutorial in youtube but I cant put CounterTopPoint into that script

[wintry quarry]

Print all the information out including the name of the object, the array length, the value you're accessing, etc

[warped kindle]

    [SerializeField] private Transform counterTopPoint;

I tried GameObject instead of Transform also

[twin pivot]

at the bottom of the script

[sour fulcrum]

ah, did not see that, apologies

can you show both screenshots of the inspectors

full

[twin pivot]

both npcs?

[sour fulcrum]

the npcdata in question and the npc controller

text controller

nitpicking but its weird that you have a NPC_Controller class referenced to as an npcData but it's not an issue

[twin pivot]

the script controls the npcs but it also stores the data within

looks like numofQDialogue is going to 2 for some reason

turns out i had referenced the wrong array - fixed, thank you for your help

[twin pivot]

youtube tutorials arent the best to start out with, try the !learn thingy unity has
to answer ur question tho, [SerializeField] private GameObject counterTopPoint; is correct, you probably just didnt save it

How can I post code blocks/files onto here? I'm having trouble saving and loading the position of the player character

[slender nymph]

!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/

📃 Inline Code

Surround code with three backquotes. Not quotation marks.
To format as C#, add cs to the first line:
```cs
// Your code here
```
Add a comment with a line number if there is an error message.

[golden stump]

I used paste.mod, Do i just post the link to it here?

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

[slender nymph]

oh dear god

please please don't use playerprefs for save data, especially not like this. playerprefs isn't really meant for that despite the many tutorials that teach it as an easy way to save data

you should look into serializing to json and writing to a file instead of using playerprefs

[golden stump]

Alright then I'll look it up thanks

[slender nymph]

oh and just so you are aware, quaternions are not angles in X,Y,Z with a 1 as the W

[golden stump]

God what kind of tutorial was I following 😭

Just wasted two hours on my project

[grand snow]

It's easy to convert to and from euler angles

Just don't mess with a quaternion thinking it's xyz in degrees cus it's not

[golden stump]

Alright then

[grand snow]

Example: transform.rotation = Quaternion.Euler(0,90,0);

[tender gazelle]

So what does this help me with?

if i may ask?

[slender nymph]

it is instructions for posting code in this server

[tender gazelle]

Got it👍

[slender nymph]

note how the instructions for correctly posting code do not include screenshots of your code

[tender gazelle]

Okay👍

[slender nymph]

and make sure to follow the instructions for configuring vs code as having a configured IDE is a requirement for receiving help with your code here

[tender gazelle]

I tried clicking on the links nut it doesnt take me anywhere🤔 What should i do?

[slender nymph]

wdym it doesn't take you anywhere?

[tender gazelle]

So yk theres like links in the message

tried clicking it

doesnt bring me to anysite

[slender nymph]

that sounds like an issue with your stuff 🤷‍♂️ dunno what to tell you

[tender gazelle]

😔 👍

[glossy crystal]

Hello, I'm wondering why nothing shows up here, but I can still manually drag a prefab in from the projects tab and it works?

[grand snow]

Unity shit

I have wondered the same but I think it doesn't work properly with monobehavious as technically the prefabs are of type game object

[sour fulcrum]

if you turn on the advanced selector it supports a lot of those unsupported cases iirc but needs time to bake/index your project compared to how instant the default one is

[glossy crystal]

Hm I turned it on but still doesn't seem to show up, I have the filter for this, and my prefab has the required component, am I doing something wrong?

[slender nymph]

Indexing is still in progress.

[glossy crystal]

oh

sorry I can't read

[grand snow]

It used to not even say the second part so you wouldn't know

And for some reason the default operation is to select the asset and not open which baffles me

[digital haven]

I’m working on a beginner level game with the rollaball unity learn guide.

I got up to the point of where I’m baking a navmesh for the ground to work for the enemy agent object but it feels like it’s not loading at all. Any advice I could use to make it run faster or any settings I could be missing?

[twin pivot]

pls screenshot instead of using a phone

[plucky sage]

I'm having an issue where my configuration struct is assigned factory values in the unity editor, but in runtime it won't reference the actual factroy objects.
