[wintry quarry]

it's like +=

[jaunty trellis]

oh, a = a or b?

[wintry quarry]

but for the OR operator

yes

[jaunty trellis]

so a = a, but if a is assigned anything, a = b?

or how does it pick a or b ?

[wintry quarry]

it's a logical OR operation

if either is true, the result is true

[jaunty trellis]

oh oh oh ye right

[wintry quarry]

it's so when you say like "was the button pressed this frame"? we don't reset to false if you haven't consumed the previous button press yet

[jaunty trellis]

I'm not quite sure how to implement that. I was thinking of, in my Update(), to read the values and then look.x += ReadValue<Vector2>().x and then after my Replicate (when its consumed) I set look.x = 0;

is that inferior in any way?

[wintry quarry]

that's the same thing I'm talking about (although why not just look += ReadValue<Vector2>()

but I'm referring to button inputs vs joystick

[jaunty trellis]

button vs value type thing?

[wintry quarry]

joysticks vs buttons

[jaunty trellis]

does mouse delta count as a button or joystick

[wintry quarry]

more analgous to joystick

[jaunty trellis]

how and when would you use this? If you pressed W but it hasnt moved the char yet? (might be a waste of time trying to explain it, mbmb)

[wintry quarry]

if you're reading button inputs in Update but jumping in FixedUpdate, for example

[jaunty trellis]

using "wasPressedThisFrame"?

[wintry quarry]

bool userWantsToJump = false;

void Update() {
  userWantsToJump |= jumpAction.WasPressedThisFrame();
}

void FixedUpdate() {
  if (userWantsToJump) {
     Jump();
     userWantsToJump = false;
  }
}```

simple example

[jaunty trellis]

so userWantsToJump |= jumpAction.WasPressedThisFrame();

means, either he already wants to jump, or he asked to

I get it 😄

Well, new knowledge, new attempts. Let's hope it works this time, thank you very very much anyhow!

Filtering collision.Contacts

[undone thicket]

Mb for not being specific. Yes, codemonkey did a video on that topic, but it didn’t help me at all as with most of the Unity forums. I get something like this at the end, but it still didn’t do anything for me.

[rich adder]

which object you placed the component on ?

[undone thicket]

Main Camera

[rich adder]

are you certain this is the exact scene in your Build Settings? Also send the code not as screenshot so I can double check it

[jaunty trellis]

@wintry quarry So, I decided to Debug.Log() both when I was Updating (but not accumulating) and when the inputs where consumed. Here are the results. This is my earlier code running at 120 ticks/s (you were very right)

one last question, was this an issue or not? (yaw = x, pitch = y)

[undone thicket]

Shure bout the first one, also about unchecking DXGI flip model

[jaunty trellis]

this is the smoothest it has EVER looked. Although I have to greed just a tad bit more

[jaunty trellis]

There is a BIG difference between Cinemachine Damping and not. Is this because my code sucks otherwise, or it is because thats how it is?

I mean, a damping of 0.05 (which is nothing I would assume) basically completely fixes it. But I'm afraid that there might still be something I'm fundamentally NOT understanding

[rich adder]

where did you get the code btw ?

[undone thicket]

discussions.unity.com/t/solved-transparent-window-in-unity-2020/859769/3

[rich adder]

oh alright, looks slightly different from one I seen on CodeMonkey, which version of unity are you using btw ?

[undone thicket]

6000.1.2f1

Latest, i guess

@rich adder

[undone thicket]

Yeah, Ive gone through at least 4 variations of TransparancyManager

[rich adder]

can you show your camera inspector rq

how do i delete that bot emssage i sent

[nimble apex]

u cant

[wintry quarry]

it will go away on its own eventually

[jaunty trellis]

i wanted to see how to do

a | b

😮

i wanted to see how to do

a | b

is that and or then?

no

[rich adder]

did you make sure you had 0 transparency when exporting?
just tested your code and it worked for me..

[jaunty trellis]

Praetor can I ask you two more things (three including this)

[undone thicket]

Where i should check it?

[rich adder]

seems like it is from your camera screenshot you sent here #💻┃code-beginner message

im saying did you change that recently , ie before the build ?

[undone thicket]

Nope

[rich adder]

are you exporting a windowed build? ~~not fullscreen window, just "windowed" ~~(actually fullscreen windowed should be fine)

[undone thicket]

Yep, windowed. It completely empty on screenshot, but it rapidly flashes with black, and sometimes get stuck for 1-2 second on object that i needed. 2nd screenshot

[thorn holly]

Is it true that I should handle inputs in update and handle the action the inputs do in fixed update if said action is physics related?

[undone thicket]

fullscreen windowed gives me that (just fullscreen version of the same problem)

[wintry quarry]

It depends on the details of what you're trying to do

[rich adder]

so it does get transparent but when exactly does it not ? what are those images and what do you do to make them appear?
are these sprites or meshes btw..

[thorn holly]

Well let’s say I want do make it so when the player presses down space they jump, can I just put in fixed update

      jump();
}```
Or do I have to do some shenanigans where the input is recorded in update then handled in fixed update

[wintry quarry]

You definitely don't want to do GetButtonDown(“Jump”) in FixedUpdate

that will result in inconsitent responsiveness

Depending on the details of what is in the jump(); function, you may be able to do it all in Update

for example if it's just adding a one-time force with AddForce, you can do that in Update

[thorn holly]

Say it’s just an rb.addForce straight up

So when are times you need to handle it in fixedupdate?

[wintry quarry]

ideally -best practice- with physics is to do everything in FixedUpdate

you can get away with doing one-off things in Update

for everything else physics related you must use FixedUpdate

input handling on the other hand usually needs to go into Update except things that are "continuous" like - taking the current joystick actuation, for example

they're kind of opposites.

[thorn holly]

Ok makes sense

So for something like sprint being held down I can just stick that in fixed update

[wintry quarry]

yes usually

assuming you're using something like Input.GetButton(..) or equivalent

[undone thicket]

It's not visible in the recording, but every time I move my cursor, it flashes especially when I'm dragging it.

[jaunty trellis]

if you have time, you should read the help I got form Praetor above, it's really informing about how character manipulation works in at least 3d space, and probably 2d except for rotating methods*

starts here

[rich adder]

vids need to be mp4 to embed, if its too big use streamble.com

[rich adder]

well that was...uneventful..

kinda odd that it doesnt show it on recording though

gpu issue or something local ?

I am using the same code and moving the window around doesn't do anything weird to bg, (I'm also running it on windows ARM in VM)

[undone thicket]

From phone

[undone thicket]

Idk

[rich adder]

yeah thats pretty strange...

1. Restart Pc or something ?
2. Try a brand new project and put a simple sprite ? ( try the 3D project/renderer )

[undone thicket]

1. Nope, i have that problem for 2 days straight, so reboot wont help
2. Thats already brand new project... But ill do 3d for test

[undone thicket]

Anyway, thanks for help

[rich adder]

3d same result?

[undone thicket]

ye

[jaunty trellis]

what computer do you have? drivers up to date? (grasping at straws)

[frigid sequoia]

This singleton setup would destroy the script on the object, not the object itself right?

Supposing I make a new one

[sour fulcrum]

correct

[frigid sequoia]

Well, shit now I have to change it for all objects lol

Should not even come the case that 2 Instances can be on the same Scene together how I am doing it, but destroying just the script is pointless

[rich adder]

IDE rename all instances should at least simplify it

[rich adder]

for me it worked with HDR on, but you tried without HDR on in the renderer asset?

[frigid sequoia]

What I am doing is placing all the main, ddol items on the scene 0, and loading that one before anything else if it was not done already, then loading the actual scenes I want, but that's actually pretty annoying to do testing. So I was wondering how could I run directly on a specific scene with that setup

[rich adder]

maybe use a prefab instead?

[undone thicket]

Just adds new layer of bugs to it...

[rich adder]

well shit..

[sour fulcrum]

you might want [RuntimeInitializeOnLoad] stuff?

[frigid sequoia]

Probably what I should do, ye, but I kinda like just having it as an object in the scene, and not having to Instantiate it each time

[frigid sequoia]

Which stuff?

[rich adder]

I meant the bootstrapper could be a prefab, also prefabs dont need to be instantiated only in code, you can also just drop one in any scene and it will do the bootstrap / DDOL warmup

[sour fulcrum]

you can use [RuntimeInitializeOnLoad] on a static function in order to run code before the first scene is run

[frigid sequoia]

Ye, I mean, I kinda like just having a single one that is not destroyed onload ever and it's not making the scene load a bunch of stuff a bunch of singleton stuff that is gonna be destroyed anyways

That way I am 100% sure it's the same object with the same values

[frigid sequoia]

So I would... load the scene 0 on the RunTimeInitializeOnLoad?

[sour fulcrum]

or perhaps a scene just full of your managers or whatever you prefer

the idea is in general you can run setup code that will run regardless of the scene your pulling up

[frigid sequoia]

Yeah, that would have worked if I have a gameManager on scene to even trigger with that

I guess I need to place that on executeAlways script lol

[sour fulcrum]

no

static function

doesn't need an instance

hence it's value

[frigid sequoia]

So... this should work? Even if there is no instance?

[sour fulcrum]

Yes, although for your needs you may be looking for beforesceneload?

[frigid sequoia]

Oh, ye, I think so

[sour fulcrum]

Oh actually

astrisk on that

so you probably want beforesceneload which runs this code before the first scene load, but that first scene load is still going to happen non additvely

so anything you want to preserve will need to be dontdestroyonload

unless im just wrong

[frigid sequoia]

Eveyrhing on scene 0 is ddol

[sour fulcrum]

easy then

[frigid sequoia]

Mmmm... so, beforeSceneLoad should... call the scene to be loaded, but this will always happen after the initial scene is loaded anyways right? Cause, well, it doesn't finish the frame until the first scene is loaded and the load call happens at the end of the frame, am I wrong?

I think doesn't matter at which point of the load I call that actually

[sour fulcrum]

if you call a scene load that isn't async in RuntimeInitializeOnLoadMethod(BeforeSceneLoad) that "injected" scene load should finish before the original one does

[frigid sequoia]

Ok, then I think scene 0 is getting a free frame somwhere, cause is doing weird stuff that wasn't doing before

[sour fulcrum]

a free frame?

[frigid sequoia]

Yeah, basically checks if there is anything on the current "level/scene" and since there is nothing cause it's not loaded yet, is basically considering it a finished scenario

Wasn't doing that before

[twin sky]

Hey i'm trying to do a script that i can place on a gameobject (a container) with a tilemap, a grid, and the tiles i wanna place

using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.Tilemaps;
using UnityEngine.EventSystems;

public class RuntimeTilePainter : MonoBehaviour
{
    [Header("Tilemap à peindre")]
    public Tilemap tilemap;

    [Header("Tile à placer")]
    public TileBase tileToPlace;

    [Header("Grille associée (parent de la Tilemap)")]
    public Grid grid;

    private bool paintingMode = false;

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

        if (Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0))
        {
            if (EventSystem.current != null && EventSystem.current.IsPointerOverGameObject()) return;

            Vector3 worldPos = Camera.main.ScreenToWorldPoint(Input.mousePosition);
            worldPos.z = 0; 

            Vector3Int cellPos = tilemap.WorldToCell(worldPos);
            Debug.Log($"Placing tile at {cellPos}");
            tilemap.SetTile(cellPos, tileToPlace);
        }
    }

    public void TogglePaintMode()
    {
        paintingMode = !paintingMode;
        Debug.Log("Mode peinture : " + (paintingMode ? "ACTIVÉ" : "DÉSACTIVÉ"));
    }
}

now with this i can place the script on the gameobject, and with a button using onclick i can call it to place my tiles, but i want to be able to choose multiple tiles, how should i do it ? thanks

Im Trying To Make A RayCast Script In 3D But I Want It To Be A Set Amount Of Length What Do I Change?

All It Dose Is Make A Recurring Line Until It Comes Into Contact With An Object

[keen cargo]

Have you tried changing the float value in the raycast?

5f

[timid salmon]

Yeah But It Dissapears😭

PLzz Help

[north kiln]

You can't use hit.distance in the else clause

It is undefined, because it hit nothing

[thick spoke]

quick question guys, so i am learning about OOP, i am going to implement it rn, but i got a question before i start. is OOP basically a script that holds my classes? the way i think of oop is that i make a script, put the classes i need, categorize and arrange them, and i could add variables outside of the classes, then i connect this OOP script to my other script, like lets say i have a script connected to a capsule called player, its still fresh. i first open this script. then i attach my oop script. then do i call the class that i want in update and thats it? if i am wrong please correct me, thank you

if i am missing anything please ping me

[wintry quarry]

No, I don't think you understand OOP at all

Whatever you just described is completely unrelated to OOP

[thick spoke]

yeah i guessed so thats why i came to ask, i guess iw ill redo my research many thanks

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jvss8fb1LdA
i was thinking of watching this series

[night raptor]

OOP just means Object Oriented Programming. It's just a paradigm of organizing the code into classes (logical units that contain data and methods). It does not specifically address what type of classes and how you should use them.

[thick spoke]

so smth like this

and it contains the base, if i wanna link it i can basically call it from another script. after calling it i can assign the name and string and yeah

[night raptor]

That is a class and hence OOP, yes. Then there is SOLID and such guidelines to figure what is good and what is bad way to practise OOP but that sure is a class

[thick spoke]

ah yeah so i am on the right path i guess at the moment, i was trying to explain this exact picture in my text, anyways thank you, iw ill be back in like tmr hopefully a better understanding

[timid salmon]

WHCould You Help Me Wit Something

PLzz

[thick spoke]

i am not the best but i can try a bit. i think @night raptor would be much better

[night raptor]

Do not ask specific people for help. Just ask the question and someone might help

[timid salmon]

Could You right code to help me understand

[thick spoke]

pretty sure you need to change the 5f in there, its now set to 5 units only, make a serialized field name it like "maxDistance" and replace with the 5f, and try tweaking that to find what you need

[jaunty trellis]

hey, was wondering if games play better in builds or in the unity project window?

deltaTime was:0,1022872
UnityEngine.Debug:Log (object)
PredictedCharacterController:Update () (at Assets/__Scripts/PredictedCharacterController.cs:145)

im getting some very annoying frame lag, this for example, where delta time was 0.1 s

[north kiln]

In builds, where there is no editor overhead

[timid salmon]

So The f in 5f means how long the raycast will be?

[north kiln]

No, that indicates the number is a float

[jaunty trellis]

well, i guess we pray then

[jaunty trellis]

not the f, but the 5 might

[north kiln]

Or profile it and fix the issue

[jaunty trellis]

I dont know what you mean

how do I do that?

[north kiln]

https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.1/Documentation/Manual/Profiler.html

[jaunty trellis]

I think thats too advanced, my game is literally just a CC. Wondering why it freezes on me

[thick spoke]

no 5f is float. just create a serialized field with float and call it maxdistance, and replace the 5f with maxdistance, and then tweak it as you like

`[SerializedField] float raycastLength = 5f; // Declare this at the top of your script outside of any methods

void Update()
{
if (Physics.Raycast(transform.position, transform.TransformDirection(Vector3.down), out RaycastHit hitInfo, raycastLength))
{
Debug.Log("Hit Ground");
Debug.DrawRay(transform.position, transform.TransformDirection(Vector3.down) * hitInfo.distance, Color.red);
}
else
{
Debug.Log("Hit Nothing");
Debug.DrawRay(transform.position, transform.TransformDirection(Vector3.down) * raycastLength, Color.green);
}
}`

it should go along the lines of smth like this @timid salmon

[timid salmon]

Ty Sm

[thick spoke]

did it work?

[timid salmon]

Im New To Scripting And This Also Helps Me Understand Raycasts

[frigid sequoia]

Let's say I have a struct that hold the base stats, another that holds the bonus/temporal ones and a other one that holds the ones comming just from items. Is there a quick way to just summ them all for a final value of each stat or manually one by one is the way?

[jaunty trellis]

Okay, I have a strange issue now. I'm building the game to simulate multiplayer with it + unity editor. However, the instance that doesn't open the server and only connects via client has altered rotational movement. Is this a common issue? What could cause it?
It has lowered Yaw, but increased Pitch. Super strange

[steel smelt]

You need a way to identify respective stats across all structs.

It could be an enum, a string or even an int. Then you need to store them in a way that you can fetch the stat by identifier.

[frigid sequoia]

How?

[steel smelt]

Which part?

[jaunty trellis]

I have a strange issue. I'm "building" an instance of the game to simulate multiplayer with "the build" + unity editor. However, the instance that doesn't open the server and only connects via client has altered rotational movement. Is this a common issue? What could cause it?
It has lowered Yaw, but increased Pitch. Super strange

[timid salmon]

But I Do Need To Ask What Is A [serialisedFeild]

[frigid sequoia]

Like how wold I set up an identifier

[steel smelt]

It could be as simple as a Dictionary<SomeTypeUsedToID, Value>

e.g. you have an enum with HitPoints, Damage, MoveSpeed, you can store those in the dict with their respective values. You then can provide a method for other classes to fetch the values from the dict by providing the identifier

[brazen crescent]

serialize fields exposes the variable in the inspector, so you select your gameobject with the specific script in the scene and then edit that value in the inspector. It makes it easy to change (mostly) private values without hardcoding them inside the script

[timid salmon]

okay ty

[cerulean vapor]

hello i've been trying to make a simple incremental game by myself but i don't know how to code a text box to show the currency

[slender nymph]

did you google it? this is like the simplest thing to put in the UI

[cerulean vapor]

yes but im having a hard time with coding it

[slender nymph]

then show the code and explain what isn't working

[cerulean vapor]

this is all i got 😦

[slender nymph]

well you need to start by getting your !IDE configured. then go actually pay attention to the relevant search results instead of staring blankly at your screen and expecting other people to make your game for you

[tiny musk]

I have a dout i have a cube i place camera inside i use raycast to spawn the object where the ray is hit how to do that please any one explain me

[steel smelt]

there's a setting so rays can hit backfaces iirc

[tiny musk]

Oh ok bro what is the solution bro

I cannot figure that

Anyone know about it please tell me

[steel smelt]

edit -> project settings -> physics

[tiny musk]

Ok

[steel smelt]

wording makes me believe it doesn't apply to primitives though

[tiny musk]

What i want to do there

Disabled everything

Player body only detect

Camera and player is same layer

[steel smelt]

nevermind, I was mistaken. Can't hit cube from the inside, applies only to mesh colliders.

[tiny musk]

I tryed it bro

[steel smelt]

If you were to make your cube a mesh collider, it'd work. Depends on your needs, cubes are much much faster to deal with in a sim than a mesh collider

[tiny musk]

It is also not working

[tiny musk]

Do you know how to slove that

[steel smelt]

Maybe depending on your needs you could flip your ray. Cast from cam pos + dir * max dist, flip dir

[astral flame]

Okay, I'm here now. Yes, I can help you with that.

[short quest]

how to i get my AI to work i think the code is done but i have not a clue how nav mesh and stuff works

[polar acorn]

Do not crosspost

[rich adder]

[warped wolf]

okay then:

Semaphore.WaitforSignal is high every time I test shaders, from simple to complex shaders, are there any ways to improve this?

i'm creating shader that containt variants shaders (sorry for my bad english), so i can disable/enable those variants by using [Toggle] on Properties, does this costly and affected render perfomance?

[thick spoke]

so in OOP, am i supposed to remove the "monobehaviour" or not? i think i read somewhere thats its preffered to remove it, but i would like to double check

[rich adder]

https://discussions.unity.com/t/semaphore-waitforsignal-causing-performance-issues/775762
check this thread maybe

[rich adder]

you don't have to, no

[naive pawn]

what do you mean by "in OOP"?

[rich adder]

OOP means everything is an Object, Your class that inherits MB is still an Object and you're doing Object based

the only difference in Unity itself is MonoBehaviours are Components and must be on a gameobject to do anything

[warped wolf]

Looks like not just shader, then i have to check animations as well.

[rich adder]

it also mentions In another thread I think that you can use GPU analyzer or something

[warped wolf]

Thanks, i will take a look 💪

[rich adder]

goodluck 🫡 If I knew a bit more on profiling I'd help more lol I just profiled scripts so far

[harsh haven]

I need help with a music on/off toggle

i have most of it working, but i only want the toggle to show in the main menu scene

and the music player is present in all scenes, so when i load a new scene, the music player does not know what toggle to reference anymore

So i tried using GameObject.Find becuase i usually just make everything public and then drag in the inspector

[rich adder]

why not just make a DDOL

[harsh haven]

however i keep getting the error "Cannot implicitly convert type 'UnityEnginge.GameObject' to 'MusicToggle'"

And i dont know why and can't find anything online

What is that

[sour fulcrum]

DontDestroyOnLoad

[harsh haven]

Oh

[rich adder]

https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.1/Documentation/ScriptReference/Object.DontDestroyOnLoad.html

[harsh haven]

I thought then the music toggle will stay in other scenes tho

thats what im using for the musicplayer so it stays

currently

[rich adder]

ohhh..so you do..

so what do you mean "toggle" then

[harsh haven]

Like the button for turning music on and off

that should only exist in the main menu

[rich adder]

why does the music player care about Toggle button

it should be other way around

[harsh haven]

The music player controls the volume management and stuff

should i send code?

[rich adder]

yes show more of the setup

including screenshots of the components / objects in scene

[harsh haven]

void Start()
    {
        if (GameManager.notFirstTime)
        {
            n = Random.Range(0, 3);
            PlaySong(n);        }
        else
        {

        }
        mtoggle = GameObject.Find("MusicToggle");
    }

This is in the music player script

the mtoggle = is throwing the error

[rich adder]

yes because GameObject.Find returns a GameObject type

[harsh haven]

public class GameMusicPlayer : MonoBehaviour
{

    public AudioSource song1;
    public AudioSource song2;
    public AudioSource song3;
    MusicToggle mtoggle;

    private int n;
    private int newSong;

This is at the top of it

[rich adder]

again, why does the music Player care about a toggle ?

it should just have a Toggle function that gets called from Toggler itself

[harsh haven]

the toggle contains the variable for if the volume should be on or not

using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.UI;

public class MusicToggle : MonoBehaviour
{

    public Button musicToggle;
    public Sprite spriteOff;
    public Sprite spriteOn;
    public bool musicOn = true;

    public void ChangeSprite()
    {
        if (musicOn)
        {
            musicToggle.image.sprite = spriteOff;
            musicOn = false;
        }
        else
        {
            musicToggle.image.sprite = spriteOn;
            musicOn = true;
        }
    }
    
}

this is the music toggle script

Its a button

and the music player is trying to access the musicOn part

[rich adder]

musicPlayer should be the one tracking the bool not the toggler

you have it backwards

[harsh haven]

Okay

i guess that would work better cause musicPlayer is staying in every scene

[rich adder]

yes the musicPlayer should not be coupled that tight to somethig external that controls it

[harsh haven]

what even is a GameObject type lol i get this issue everytime ive tried doing stuff like this

Just for future knowledge

[sour fulcrum]

gameobject

[harsh haven]

like how do i replace that line to get it to do what i want

[polar acorn]

The stuff in the hierarchy

[rich adder]

its the basic type for the gameobject you see in the scene

[harsh haven]

Ok yea

so isn't musictogger a button, so it is a gameobject

[rich adder]

so normally you would GetComponent on that to find any scripts / components on it

[rich adder]

no musictogger, is MusicToggle type

Button just controls the visuals / sets bool

[sour fulcrum]

its on a gameobject

[rich adder]

the type itself , aka the component is of MusicToggle type

[polar acorn]

Button is a component on a game object. So is MusicToggle.

[rich adder]

so you would technically do
mtoggle = GameObject.Find("MusicToggle").GetComponent<MusicToggle>();
but in this case no reason for musicPlayer do find this thing at all

[final forge]

If I'm using a linked list to describe something in my game, does it mean that I've gone wrong somewhere

[harsh haven]

so is the canvas the original gameobject?

[polar acorn]

Everything in your hierarchy is a GameObject

[polar acorn]

Yes those are all GameObjects

[rich adder]

GameObjects are basically "containers" for components

Button is a component, Canvas is a component etc.

[slender nymph]

is there a specific reason you're using a linked list instead of a normal List<T>?

[thick spoke]

but is it suggestvily better, incase i accidetly attach it to a object, so its better to remove it

[sour fulcrum]

The MonoBehaviour components on the GameObject are not GameObjects however

[harsh haven]

Hmm okay

[rich adder]

what give you that assumption?

[final forge]

well I was trying to make a basic farming game, and some crops can be repeat harvested, and others one time only, so I thought a repeat harvest can just have a cycle in the list, and the one time crops have no loop

thats bad right

[rich adder]

they both serve different purposes, if it doesnt need to be a component sure you can remove the MB inheritance @thick spoke

[thick spoke]

i had a little course, when i created a node script, he removed monobehaviour, i forgot the reason, but i thought it might relate to oop for some reason

[rich adder]

but technically they are both Objects, nothing to do with OOP

[thick spoke]

ah i see, then i will prob keep it removed and maybe in the end add it if needed

thank you

[rich adder]

probably because it doesnt need to be a component , aka be on a gameobject

[slender nymph]

i mean . . . if it works, it works, right? it definitely doesn't sound ideal but first priority is making something that works before focusing on making it good

[thick spoke]

same ig, i would prefer not to have my oop script on a gameobject

[final forge]

i guess

[rich adder]

you are confusing POCOs here... as I said, everything you're doing in C# is object based..That includes monobehaviours

POCO is when you have ```cs
public class Foo {}

this is a Component
```cs
public class Foo :  MonoBehaviour{}

Both are Objects

MonoBehaviour are also UnityEngine.Object but they are still Objects at the end of the day they just have extra logic unity implemented

so all you're doing is still OOP based

you put a integer in MB, guess what? thats still an Object inside another Object

[harsh haven]

Hmm okay another issue

that i dont understand at all yet

I turn the music off, i go back and forth between the game and the main menu

[rich adder]

so then whats the issue?

[harsh haven]

This is before

And this is after i go back to the main menu

Another gamemusicplayer is being created, and this one is connected to the toggle

[rich adder]

yes make a singleton

[harsh haven]

However music is still playing from the first, so this 2nd music player is useless

Whats that

[rich adder]

its a programming pattern, it ensures only 1 type of this object should exist (if properly cleanedup)
check example here
https://unity.huh.how/references/singletons

[harsh haven]

Okay

and why is another one being created anyway?

[rich adder]

because you're going back to the scene that has one ?

and both are DDOL so they live in the same DDOL scene

[harsh haven]

actually the toggle isnt' ddol rn

[rich adder]

the toggle has nothing to do with anything here

[harsh haven]

yea i didn't think so

But anyway so going back to the scene creates all the game objects that are supposed to exist in it?

But one of them was never deleted, so its just creating it again, in addition to the one that wasn't deleted?

[rich adder]

normally when you switch scenes all objects in other scene are deleted , then new one loads with new objects

because its a DDOL its not destroying the original one because DDOL scene objects dont get destroyed unless you explicitly tell it to

[rich adder]

thats what a scene is , a collection of objects that should exist

if you have no way of check if ObjectA already exists and delete new one, it will create a copy as many times as you load that scene (cause of DDOL)

[harsh haven]

Ok cool so basically what i was saying i thought was happening

Ahh i swear ive seen people do this singleton thing on tutorials without explaining and i never understood what it did

so i just ignored it

[rich adder]

yes so if you load old scene with a Singleton implemented properly (shown in link)
It will see "oh this already exist, delete new gameobject with this component we dont need"

[harsh haven]

Yep

Alr will lyk in 2 minutes if this works

Hmm not yet

but ima try to debug this myself real quick and if i dont know ill send

ok i got the singleton part of it working

but when i load back into the main menu, even tho the right musicplayer stays now, the toggle no longer does anything to the musicOn boolean

[rich adder]

what you need to do is instead Find the singleton , thats why we made it a singleton for easy access from other scenes and their objects

so if you had a bool inside MusicPlayer for MusicOn and its public you could do for example
MusicPlayer.Instance.MusicOn = value

or better to make a method, public fields are kinda ugly

with a method you can put an event or something inside to notify if something changed, much neater than just changing a field value and not know about it

eg MusicPlayer.Instance.ToggleMusic(true)

[harsh haven]

in the toggle script?

yea methods are better

[rich adder]

the toggle scripts only cares about calling the method on MusicPlayer for example.

the method itself is implemented in the MusicPlayer script

[harsh haven]

okay i can do that

but im a little confused even with my original implemtation still

[rich adder]

what are you confused on ?

[harsh haven]

Im thinking

i guess i want to understand the core issue a bit more

because its a singleton, the toggle doesn't know how to access the musicplayer anymore?

[rich adder]

when did MusicToggle ever touch MusicPlayer

you originally had it MusicPlayerlooking for MusicToggle for some reason

[harsh haven]

Ah yea this is wahts happening

[harsh haven]

yea cause im a beginner and didn't know the best way of implementing

So when i load back into the main menu]

[rich adder]

yes you cannot link a component thats going to go into a DDOL scene

that would be called "Cross Scene Referencing" which cannot happen through a Serialized Field

thats why we now can simply get rid of the Field for it and just access it through the Singleton

[harsh haven]

okay, ill change to a method

[ivory bobcat]

Your music player should be a Singleton object as well or you ought to register your available scene music player after loading. Or as suggested, do not reference your music player etc

[harsh haven]

is there a way to fix this not using method implementation?

[harsh haven]

My musicplayer is the singleton object

not the toggle

[rich adder]

wdym fix this without using method implementation

[harsh haven]

Like is there a way to fix this while still trying to access the singleton through the toggle

[rich adder]

the method is so you can toggle musicON from toggler to MusicPlayer

[ivory bobcat]

You no longer need the music player reference then (on the button).

You'd simply access the music player through code using the instance field

[ivory bobcat]

Can you show an update of your !code for the music player toggle component?

    }
    
}

sorry im having long responses cause this is quite confusing for me

so im trying to think of a productive question first

[rich adder]

you don't need musicplayer anymore

[harsh haven]

I guess im confused about, how to do i toggle a method in MusicPlayer without having to create a reference to it anwyay?

[rich adder]

because now you have the singleton

crude example

public class MusicPlayer : MonoBehaviour
{
    public static MusicPlayer Instance { get; private set; }
    public bool IsMusicOn { get; private set; }
    void Awake()
    {
        if (Instance != null)
        {
            Destroy(gameObject);
            return;
        }
        Instance = this;
    }
    public void ToggleMusic(bool isOn)
    {
        IsMusicOn = isOn;
        if(isOn)
        {
            //do stuff
        }else
        {
            //do other stuff
        }
    }
}
public class MusicToggle : MonoBehaviour
{
    public void ToggleMusic()
    {
        MusicPlayer.Instance.ToggleMusic(true);
    }
}```

[harsh haven]

singletons are new to me so i dont understand how this fixes anything yet

how do i toggle the method in the singleton then?

Okay

makes a little more sense when i see it like that

[rich adder]

if this is going to be a button you could potentially just make it a switch On/Off thing without passing a bool

[shadow moss]

howdy yall! What do i do when i get an ambiguity error when i only have one version of each script in my project? is it just Visual Studio Code freaking out?

[rich adder]

show screenshot maybe ?

[ivory bobcat]

You'd get better suggestions by showing the actual error

[rich adder]

ambiguity could be from another Unity class conflicting with your own or a System one etc.

namespaces are very important for that reason

[ivory bobcat]

Or conflicting directives (System Random vs Unity Random etc)

[shadow moss]

wait i just realized-

i cleaned up my hard drive to make space for a big download, and i accidentally put a bunch of files in my projects assets folder instead of my general game dev assets folder 😭

i just tabbed over to the games assets folder and saw a bunch of random shit including some backups of my scripts, lol

[harsh haven]

Still hella confused ngl sorry

I feel like i want to access the boolean in musicplayer from the toggle

becuase i want the toggle to display the right image based on that boolean

And i know you said i could just not use a boolean, but for the sake of my learning im sure ill have to access variables in singletons later in my life

Like idk how do you want me to have this code still working?

I know this doesnt make sense as code but like

i can make that method run but i still want that variable accessed somehow

[ivory bobcat]

Show your music player script.

[harsh haven]

Its hella long and has stuff thats not that relevant to this

ill just send the methods that matter

[polar acorn]

What is musicplayer

[ivory bobcat]

Just send the Instance reference field

[sour fulcrum]

.. or the variables

[harsh haven]

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
using Mono.Cecil.Cil;

public class GameMusicPlayer : MonoBehaviour
{

    public AudioSource song1;
    public AudioSource song2;
    public AudioSource song3;
    public bool musicOn = true;
    public static GameMusicPlayer instance;


    private int n;
    private int newSong;
...

public void ToggleMusic()
    {
        if (musicOn)
        {
            song1.volume = 0.1f;
            song2.volume = 0.1f;
            song3.volume = 0.1f;
        }
        else
        {
                song1.volume = 0;
                song2.volume = 0;
                song3.volume = 0;
        }
    }
.....

 void Awake()
    {
        if (instance != null)
        {
            Destroy(gameObject);
            return;
        }
        DontDestroyOnLoad(this.gameObject);
        instance = this;
    }
}

[sour fulcrum]

GameMusicPlayer.Instance.musicOn

[harsh haven]

It was a reference to the musicplayer but i deleted it cause they said i dont need it anymore

but then im like Idk how to get that variable still

without it

[polar acorn]

So you would replace it with the static variable that references your instance of GameMusicPlayer

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/language-reference/keywords/static

[ivory bobcat]

It should be in this pattern to be a Singleton:cs ClassName.Instance.fieldNamewhere in your case you should have had something similar tocs MusicPlayer.Instance.IsOn = ...

[sour fulcrum]

i mean yeah you have to use it

[ivory bobcat]

Yeah, you're missing all of the other details to be a Singleton
I suggest you check back on this message #💻┃code-beginner message

[harsh haven]

Oh lol mb

damn i got the whole server helping me with this easy ass shit 😭

this is like my first month of unity

YOOOOO TS WORK NOW

[ivory bobcat]

So.. you need to do something with that.. like suggested by the IDE, assign it something or whatever

[harsh haven]

THANK U ALL LMAOOO

[harsh haven]

I think most of my confusion for the last 10 minutes has been that

i didn't know i could do that

[sour fulcrum]

ye thats the appeal

[harsh haven]

Very grateful

[sour fulcrum]

the rough idea is that because we're ensuring that only 1 instance of GameMusicPlayer exists, we don't have to go around trying to find it

[harsh haven]

now just gotta make an online highscore leaderboard and my games done

[copper jasper]

How do i fix this the whole word just screen tears glitches jitters etc

I started using unity yesterday

[rocky canyon]

its usually b/c your camera is moving in update but ur character is moving in fixed update..
Update is every frame.. Fixed Update runs on the physics tick (50fps) default..
its a sync problem..

[copper jasper]

im not using fixed update for the cam

im using base update

[rocky canyon]

thats what i said...

[copper jasper]

void Update()
{
// Start cam and movement
HandleLook();

oohhh

mb

[rocky canyon]

no worries

you can search google.. its a very common issue with multiple fixes

cant say which one is quite right for you..

[copper jasper]

i have been searching since yesterday

[rocky canyon]

people would say "mandatory use Cinemachine"

~~https://discussions.unity.com/t/character-controller-jittering-while-moving/257889~~ jank

check the first reply

[copper jasper]

isnt there another fix i saw this vid and tried what he done but it didnt work

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cTIAhwlvW9M&t=174s

[rocky canyon]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hsoJLJ22GVA&pp=0gcJCdgAo7VqN5tD

ya, dude.. u musta not searched very hard..

[copper jasper]

i saw that vid too

[rocky canyon]

literally Dozens and dozens of posts and solutions

https://www.reddit.com/r/Unity3D/comments/11zrzm0/camera_jittering_on_first_person_controller/

so on and so on

[copper jasper]

this looks like jibrish to me since i started yesterday 😭

https://discussions.unity.com/t/character-controller-jittering-while-moving/257889/2

[rocky canyon]

ya, i understand that..

this may be a problem u need to sort out after becoming a bit more familiar and comfortable with unity and coding

[copper jasper]

btw i dont think the vid is showing it but the issue isnt really like a jitter its like screen tearing

[rocky canyon]

if its screen tearing it could possibly be VSync issue

[copper jasper]

ye the vid doesnt show it

[sour fulcrum]

this vid looks cooked

[copper jasper]

how do i fix it

[sour fulcrum]

ngl

[rocky canyon]

ya, lol i noticed that after i posted it..

[copper jasper]

prob vsync is causing it cause in my view the screen is tearing

[rocky canyon]

there.. fixed it 😄

but yea its probably Vsync

u can disable it and see

[copper jasper]

this

[rocky canyon]

or another option is to cap ur framerate

[copper jasper]

turning off the vsync count didnt change anything

i even tried to put the movement part in update instead of fixed update same issue

[rocky canyon]

🤔 hmmm

[copper jasper]

I feel like its smthn else maybe thats why the vids dont work

[rocky canyon]

u try building it to see if its in the build as well

[copper jasper]

ima try that rq

build and run?

[full latch]

Hello

[copper jasper]

hello there

[copper jasper]

Ye its in build as well

why doesnt it show in the video

wth

on my screen the whole screen is breaking

like idk how to explain it

its tearing and it looks like the world is a titkok filter

the thing one waves one

[grand snow]

screen tearing is common when the framerate is above the monitor refresh rate, not unique to unity: https://www.displayninja.com/what-is-screen-tearing/

[copper jasper]

Can u test my game and see if u get it too

[grand snow]

no

enable v sync if you want to prevent it

[copper jasper]

I already did

[copper jasper]

this right?

[grand snow]

Yes. Is that on the correct quality setting thats the default for the build target?

[copper jasper]

wdym

First day in unity btw 😭

[grand snow]

Check you changed it on the default quality level for the platform (so its actually doing what you want)

otherwise it will be using a different quality with different settings

[copper jasper]

mine looks like this

[grand snow]

double check its set in "Ultra" then

[copper jasper]

I deleted everything else and only kept ultra now

still does it

[grand snow]

I've had windows be stupid with games before. Windowed and fullscreen windowed games dont tear but exclusive fullscreen will. Check player settings for what mode its using.

[copper jasper]

player settings?

Im sorry for being dumb its js that its my first day using unity

and i have had to spend my whole time trying to fix the issue instead of learning unity 😭

[grand snow]

Fullscreen mode: https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.1/Documentation/Manual/playersettings-windows.html#Resolution

I dont think its your fault but learning about this stuff helps in the long run!

vsync should be fixing this though so ideally we would verify the fps of the game in the build

[copper jasper]

Im so confused

like im fully lost

my brain is fried rn

[grand snow]

tearing happens when the framerate is too high so as your display "shows" the new frame, the data keeps changing causing visual tears in the image.
vsync should fix it as it caps the framerate to the monitor refresh rate (e.g. 60 hz)

[copper jasper]

where do i enable vsync

dont i already have it enabled

the vsync count

i have that

but it still doesnt work

not only that but i have tried other peoples codes and theirs work but mine doesnt

[grand snow]

yea which is why this is strange and i wanted you to verify it was using the correct quality level in a build.

(you want it to be ON)

[copper jasper]

i made it like this now

but in the vids their ones dont break in editor

[grand snow]

is vsync set to "every vblank"?

[copper jasper]

yes

[grand snow]

the game window should have its own vsync setting

check its dropdowns

[grand snow]

that affects game builds. The editor game window has its own setting:

@copper jasper ^

[copper jasper]

OH

ima test it

nope still happening

i enabled the vsync

but it didnt fix it

[grand snow]

show stats, what is the fps?

[grand snow]

HA clearly its not on

[ivory bobcat]

You've got a fast monitor

[grand snow]

yea something is bugged, restart the editor maybe?

[copper jasper]

60hz 😭

[copper jasper]

alr ima try that

[grand snow]

welcome to development, shit breaks randomly

[copper jasper]

ye 😭

I miss working on roblox now

but its filled with idiots that play trash games over good games

[grand snow]

its a jump from that to a full game engine

[copper jasper]

Still not working after restarting it

fps isnt being capped

[grand snow]

You dont have any code changing Application.targetFrameRate do you?

[copper jasper]

nope

[copper jasper]

like this?

using UnityEngine;

public class FPS : MonoBehaviour
{
void Awake()
{
Application.targetFrameRate = (int)Screen.currentResolution.refreshRateRatio.value;
QualitySettings.vSyncCount = 1;
}
}

[grand snow]

yes EXACTLY THAT

[copper jasper]

didnt work 😄

oh do i make a game object for

i js made the script only XD

oopsies

[grand snow]

!learn

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

[grand snow]

Think you need to follow some tutorials

[copper jasper]

ye 😄

[grand snow]

some core knowledge missing there! dont worry about this tearing stuff for now

[copper jasper]

I thought it would be easy cause i was a master at roblox

[grand snow]

In a game engine you have to do everything but means you can do everything!

ofc there are pre made things you can add and use but at its base unity can do a lot but needs you to do it

[copper jasper]

how many years have u been on unity

@grand snow So a lil issue even the frame limmiter didnt work

I added the script into a empty object

and still got 1k fps

[cosmic quail]

try clicking the vsync button here https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/unity/original/4X/1/9/1/191596e9e4b989cb04a83789bf4a22627275a5a0.png

[copper jasper]

Already done that

[cosmic quail]

are you checking the fps here during play mode? https://i.sstatic.net/sKnxl.png

[copper jasper]

yep

pretty evident that its correct cause im getting screen tearing

YES IT FINNALY WORKED

But now my camera is broken...

and the screen tearing is not fixed

I wanna quit unity 😭

[rocky canyon]

typical roblox dev

[copper jasper]

so enabling this stops my fps cap from working but then when it does work my whole game breaks

[grand snow]

you should prefer vsync over changing target frame rate (except on mobile platforms where vsync does nothing)

[copper jasper]

neither fixes anything

and target frame js makes it worse

I dont get it why cant it just work

it should when capping my fps to 60 but still doesnt

at this rate i dont even know what the issue is

is my code wrong or smthn

    void HandleLook()
    {
        // Get mouse input and apply sensitivity and frame-rate independence
        float mouseX = Input.GetAxis("Mouse X") * mouseSensitivity * Time.deltaTime;
        float mouseY = Input.GetAxis("Mouse Y") * mouseSensitivity * Time.deltaTime;

        // Update rotation values based on mouse movement
        xRotation -= mouseY; // Subtract because Unity's rotation is inverted
        xRotation = Mathf.Clamp(xRotation, -maxX, maxX);  // Limits looking left/right

        camTransform.localRotation = Quaternion.Euler(xRotation, 0f, 0f); // Camera transform
        transform.Rotate(Vector3.up * mouseX); // The players transform
    }

without deltatime the cam is snappy and broken

[ivory bobcat]

You don't need delta time as mouse input is already a rate

[cosmic quail]

why are you multiplying mouse movement with deltaTime?

[copper jasper]

I removed the delta time part but now its super snappy and broken

teleports

[ivory bobcat]

decrease mouse sensitivity

[copper jasper]

and as always i still have screen tearing

[copper jasper]

no like its slow but teleports it just snaps into place

ima record it 1 sec

and the video isnt showing all of the screen tearing

looks wayyy worse on my screen

[ivory bobcat]

If you're moving your character with physics but moving the camera outside of physics, you'll get some strange snapping etc

[copper jasper]

but i wasnt even walking

and it wasnt happening when i had 1k fps

and was using delta time

[cosmic quail]

dont parent camera to rigidbody

[astral flame]

The mistake here is that you are not using the inputs as they should be.

[copper jasper]

tried that before

[copper jasper]

wdym

[astral flame]

If you want to see how you have your inputs configured?

In the code

In my case I use the horizontal and vertical and putting the speed variable and from there I put the time.deltatime and everything works out fine.

[rocky canyon]

correct.

[copper jasper]

im gonna loose my mind

using 60fps doesnt fix the tearing

the cam is broken now

everything is getting worse instead of being fixed

i had so much planned today like learning unity but i spent the whole day tryna fix this bs

[rocky canyon]

that happens when your learning 🤔
there may be a chance u have to scrap and rebuild complete things

[astral flame]

It's better that you use that like I do so you won't have teleports anymore because yes

[copper jasper]

I js wanna fix this

[rocky canyon]

i think ur in over ur head already.. and need to step back and learn/experiment some more
the screen tearing issue needs to be sorted out first..
if it were me i'd build a new project.. and i'd try simple animations. maybe even import a mp4 and use the VideoPlayer component.. see if the screen tearing is still ther...

[copper jasper]

it doesnt even make sense cause 60fps cap and vsync should fix the tearing

[astral flame]

Well, use the one I told you and it will be fixed.

[copper jasper]

where

[astral flame]

Put the horizontal and vertical inputs first

[copper jasper]

wdym

like for the movement?

[ivory bobcat]

Just a reminder that you wouldn't want to include delta time as the mouse delta per frame is already relative to time (an issue with brackeys and a bunch of older tutorials)

[astral flame]

For rotation

[copper jasper]

Is my cam script even correct

    void HandleLook()
    {
        // Get mouse input and apply sensitivity and frame-rate independence
        float mouseX = Input.GetAxis("Mouse X") * mouseSensitivity;
        float mouseY = Input.GetAxis("Mouse Y") * mouseSensitivity;

        // Update rotation values based on mouse movement
        xRotation -= mouseY; // Subtract because Unity's rotation is inverted
        xRotation = Mathf.Clamp(xRotation, -maxX, maxX);  // Limits looking left/right

        camTransform.localRotation = Quaternion.Euler(xRotation, 0f, 0f); // Camera transform
        transform.Rotate(Vector3.up * mouseX); // The players transform
    }

can u js fix it i cant do nothing at this rate

like its been a whole day and my dumb ah still hasnt fixed it

[sour fulcrum]

We don’t do that here

[ivory bobcat]

X rotation is a float right?

[copper jasper]

ye

float xRotation = 0f; // Horizontal rotation (looking up/down)

wanna see my whole code to see how crap it is 😄

[sour fulcrum]

You won’t gain much from beating yourself up like that

[ivory bobcat]

It would seem you've got some weird camera jittering going on rather than screen tearing.

[sour fulcrum]

Code is hard, physics is hard, learning is hard

[copper jasper]

but its been a day

[keen cargo]

also don't do transform on a rigidbody, you are doing that in HandleLook()

[copper jasper]

and i want to atleast do the basics before school starts again i have mocks 😭

[grand snow]

you dont learn a new skill in 1 day

[rocky canyon]

its been a day
5-year Noob laughin his ass off over here

[sour fulcrum]

You’ve done a lot in a day

[copper jasper]

but i have years in roblox it should have been easy and nothing i do works even when i took other peoples code to test if it would work

[keen cargo]

no it shouldnt be easy lol

[copper jasper]

its not even my code its unity cause others code dont work

but it works for them

[grand snow]

You lack the understanding on how to use their code or what it even does

[copper jasper]

i used danis

it still had the tearing

[rocky canyon]

u cant make this stuff up

[copper jasper]

but now that im using a 60 fps cap the cam is broken and i have tearing so computer wise it doesnt make sense

capping my fps 60 should work

[keen cargo]

it's highly highly likely because you're doing transform on the rigidbody

i had similar camera issues because of that

[rocky canyon]

test an animation or video like i mentioned earlier

[sour fulcrum]

Why

[copper jasper]

but i need that so that i can make the player face where the cam is

[keen cargo]

use the physics rotation, like MoveRotation()

tell the physics of Unity to rotate it not transform

[copper jasper]

also rn i can only look up and down not only that but since i unparented the camera from the player its not following the player

[copper jasper]

This?

rb.MoveRotation(rb.rotation * Quaternion.Euler(0f, mouseX, 0f));

[keen cargo]

yeah

experiment with that

[copper jasper]

but i can only look up and down

should i make the camera child of the player

or leave it outside

[keen cargo]

I have the camera separately

and the camera's position is tied to an empty gameobject on the player

[copper jasper]

HOLD UP I FIXED THE SCREEN TEARING

I stopped using the max fps thing

and js used this again

Only jitters left

well moving my cam fast ends up creating wave like effects

[keen cargo]

and how's the camera being moved?

[copper jasper]

well for the left and right its working cause i placed the cam under the player capsule

and up and down is this

    void HandleLook()
    {
        // Get mouse input and apply sensitivity and frame-rate independence
        float mouseX = Input.GetAxis("Mouse X") * mouseSensitivity;
        float mouseY = Input.GetAxis("Mouse Y") * mouseSensitivity;

        // Update rotation values based on mouse movement
        xRotation -= mouseY; // Subtract because Unity's rotation is inverted
        xRotation = Mathf.Clamp(xRotation, -maxX, maxX);  // Limits looking left/right

        camTransform.localRotation = Quaternion.Euler(xRotation, 0f, 0f); // Camera transform
        rb.MoveRotation(rb.rotation * Quaternion.Euler(0f, mouseX, 0f));
    }

[copper jasper]

did u see

rn its working wayyy better

but theres tiny jitters

and if i move cam around fast then the thing tears

like wave effect on tiktok

[keen cargo]

so the jitters is probably because of it being a child of the player's capsule (or rigidbody in this case)

[copper jasper]

but then it doesnt go left and right and doesnt follow the char

[keen cargo]

well you'd place an empty gameobject on the player for the camera to follow using a following script i imagine

i myself use cinemachine so i don't have to worry about the following

[copper jasper]

I made the cam follow the player like this

camTransform.localPosition = transform.localPosition;

But still no left and right

[keen cargo]

what's confusing me in your HandleLook() is that you're telling yourself that xRotation is limiting left/right, when in fact it's handling up/down

and you don't have anything in there that specifically handles left/right movement

well, specifically the xRotation = Mathf.Clamp(xRotation, -90f, 90f); part

that one is what prevents you from looking too up or down, or at least it should be

[copper jasper]

im js as confused as u are

[keen cargo]

but that's besides the point, you don't have anything that handles left/right

[copper jasper]

I made a new script

using UnityEngine;

public class CamMover : MonoBehaviour
{
public Transform CamPosition;

// Update is called once per frame
void Update()
{
    transform.localPosition = CamPosition.localPosition;
    transform.localRotation = CamPosition.localRotation;
}

}

Then i made a cam positon empty object in the player

moved the cam holder out of the player

[keen cargo]

don't put it in Update, it's FixedUpdate

[copper jasper]

But the looking on this is messed up

    void HandleLook()
    {
        // Get mouse input and apply sensitivity and frame-rate independence
        float mouseX = Input.GetAxis("Mouse X") * mouseSensitivity;
        float mouseY = Input.GetAxis("Mouse Y") * mouseSensitivity;

        // Update rotation values based on mouse movement
        xRotation -= mouseY; // Subtract because Unity's rotation is inverted
        xRotation = Mathf.Clamp(xRotation, -maxX, maxX);  // Limits looking left/right
        yRotation -= mouseY; // Subtract because Unity's rotation is inverted
        yRotation = Mathf.Clamp(xRotation, -maxX, maxX);  // Limits looking left/right

        camTransform.localRotation = Quaternion.Euler(xRotation, yRotation, 0f); // Camera transform
        rb.MoveRotation(rb.rotation * Quaternion.Euler(0f, mouseX, 0f));
        camTransform.localPosition = transform.localPosition;
    }

[keen cargo]

because you're following a physics object

[copper jasper]

my cam direction is messed up though

lemme record it 1 sec

always goes in the same direction

[keen cargo]

why do you have yRotation calculated like that?

[copper jasper]

like what

[keen cargo]

that's not how you calculate yRotation

[copper jasper]

oh i see what u mean

no i dont

[polar acorn]

Why is your left/right rotation controlled by the mouse up/down? And why is yRotation created by clamping the X rotation?

[copper jasper]

Idk man im loosing my mind i went from trying to fix screen tearing to now this and more

[polar acorn]

When you're rotating, you give it an axis to rotate about. Imagine a stick stabbed through the object at that axis, then you grip the pole and spin it in place.

Rotating about the X axis is up/down motion for the object, and rotating about the Y axis is left/right

(rotating about the Z axis is rolling sideways)

[copper jasper]

I have no clue what allat means

first day in unity

i just want to fix it so i can learn properly

[polar acorn]

Which is why I just explained it

and showed a diagram

to explain it

[copper jasper]

i dont get it

[keen cargo]

do you have a pencil?

[copper jasper]

how is x up and down

and y is left and right

[polar acorn]

Please read the messages again

I explained how in both words and pictures

X is red

[keen cargo]

it's not that x is up and down

it's that you're moving it about the x axis

[polar acorn]

Y is green

[copper jasper]

so whats wrong with my code

my brain is too fried to understand anything

[keen cargo]

you could also just take a break

[copper jasper]

i have no time to take breaks

i have to atleast fix the camera

[keen cargo]

do you think you're going to accomplish much with your brain being fried, by your own words

[polar acorn]

Then we don't have time to keep repeating the explanation until you decide to read it

[keen cargo]

like literally take a walk for 15 minutes

[copper jasper]

so X axis is up/down and Y axis is left/right

but what i dont get is why is my camera moving like this

[polar acorn]

To be more accurate, X axis is Pitch, Y axis is Yaw

[polar acorn]

Becase you're telling it to do so

You've set yRotation to the same value as xRotation

[copper jasper]

yRotation -= mouseX;

I changed it

same issue

[keen cargo]

yeah that's not what digi said

[copper jasper]

dont u mean cause i was doing xRotation -= mouseY; for both

[polar acorn]

okay what does the line after this look like

[polar acorn]

I mean, that was a problem

but you weren't even using that value for yRotation before you just overwrote it the very next line

So it didn't matter anyway

[copper jasper]

OH

IM SO DUMB

im the dumbest mf ever

no clamp on the y rotation right

[polar acorn]

Probably

[keen cargo]

well you don't want to CLAMP it, because that would lock you from doing a 360 spin

[copper jasper]

ye XD

[keen cargo]

you SHOULD limit it somehow though

[polar acorn]

but you definitely shouldn't set the yRotation to the clamped value of the X rotation variable

[copper jasper]

so that worked but my movement is messed up

[copper jasper]

ima add a cube to see my direction rq

[copper jasper]

ye im blind

is this wrong then

using UnityEngine;

public class CamMover : MonoBehaviour
{
public Transform CamPosition;

// Update is called once per frame
void FixedUpdate()
{
    transform.localPosition = CamPosition.localPosition;
    transform.localRotation = CamPosition.localRotation;
}

}

[keen cargo]

ignore that for now, focus on your movement

[copper jasper]

def wrong

[keen cargo]

so now show what the camera look script looks like

[copper jasper]

    void HandleLook()
    {
        // Get mouse input and apply sensitivity and frame-rate independence
        float mouseX = Input.GetAxis("Mouse X") * mouseSensitivity;
        float mouseY = Input.GetAxis("Mouse Y") * mouseSensitivity;

        // Update rotation values based on mouse movement
        xRotation -= mouseY; // Subtract because Unity's rotation is inverted
        xRotation = Mathf.Clamp(xRotation, -maxX, maxX);  // Limits looking left/right
        yRotation -= mouseX; // Subtract because Unity's rotation is inverted

        camTransform.localRotation = Quaternion.Euler(xRotation, yRotation, 0f); // Camera transform
        rb.MoveRotation(rb.rotation * Quaternion.Euler(0f, mouseX, 0f));
        camTransform.localPosition = transform.localPosition;
    }

[keen cargo]

so you still have the issue of yRotation being calculated incorrectly

[copper jasper]

HUH

oh is it cause im doing -= mouseX

should i js remove that

[keen cargo]

no, nothing has to be removed, just one little thing has to be changed

[copper jasper]

this works better i think

yRotation = mouseY;

[keen cargo]

nope

[copper jasper]

but it looks correct

only issue i see is the cam is not going where the cam postion object is

[keen cargo]

it looks correct but does it work correctly?

[copper jasper]

no ig

idk

but whys my cam on the floor

think ik why

[polar acorn]

1. Make camera child object of player at position you want.
2. When move mouse X, rotate player about Y-axis.
3. When move mouse Y, rotate camera object about X-axis, clamped if you want it to be

[copper jasper]

so i make the cam a child of the player

[polar acorn]

Or the virtualCamera if you're using Cinemachine but it doesn't look like you are

[keen cargo]

naw cinemachine would've solved the following without anything extra

[lilac cape]

I wish there was a vector3.side struct. My OCD doesn't like just using Vector3.right or left with the HorizontalInput lol:

[polar acorn]

What would a "Vector3.side" even mean

What value would it hold?

[copper jasper]

I have never been so confused in my life

[polar acorn]

Which side?

[copper jasper]

now the thing is bugging

oh nvm

[polar acorn]

Everything except the three steps I gave you is unnecessary and should be removed

[copper jasper]

YO ITS WORKING

But theres some jitter/screen tear or smthn

on the cubes etc

[lilac cape]

It's just weird to put vector3.right and the player can move left and right

[polar acorn]

Because left is negative right

[lilac cape]

Are the boxesoverlapping?

[ivory bobcat]

I think you can just use a single translate without the if statement

[sour fulcrum]

vector3.right does not exist for player movement or any movement. It just exists to be right of 0,0,0

[copper jasper]

How do i fix the jitter

[lilac cape]

Yeah I could just have one. This movement finally clicked for me and I thought it was weird lol

[polar acorn]

Are you moving the camera in LateUpdate

[copper jasper]

no

i tried that before though

[polar acorn]

Fix that

[copper jasper]

lemme try again

didnt fix it

oops

Im so happy that atleast the tearing is fixed

[rocky canyon]

well now you've come full circle back to the jitter we were thinkin was the original issue

[sour fulcrum]

Just wanna say, the learning does get easier. Can’t be expecting magic in a single day but the early part of learning this stuff is the hardest

Takes a lot of effort to force yourself to troubleshoot with strangers online for so long, glad your making progress

[copper jasper]

js gotta fix the annoying jitter then im done

[rocky canyon]

ya, it takes alot of effort for the strangers to help for so long when they say things like
"i wanna quit Unity" and "just fix this for me"... sooo props to you and the other guys as well 👍

[copper jasper]

How do i fix this 😭😭😭

[sour fulcrum]

I do not like you and I do not think you’ve provided nearly enough help to justify such a elitist attitude. This comment helps nobody.

[rocky canyon]

okie doke.. i take my props back..

[copper jasper]

so anyone know how to fix it 😄

[keen cargo]

ok this is a long shot, but this might just be your monitor

do you have anywhere else to try your game?

[copper jasper]

60hz

but fps is 1k

i have vysnc on

[keen cargo]

maybe you could try limiting your fps again

[copper jasper]

bet

only works when i turn this off

I also got someone to test it and they got the same issue @keen cargo

[lilac cape]

Anyone by chance know why my prefab pizza is going backwards when I instantiate it?
Script attached to pizza prefab

public class MoveForward : MonoBehaviour
{
  [SerializeField] float speed = 40.0f;

  // Start is called once before the first execution of Update after the MonoBehaviour is created
  void Start()
  {

  }

  // Update is called once per frame
  void Update()
  {
    transform.Translate(Vector3.forward * speed * Time.deltaTime);

  }
}

Instantiate on playercontroller script:

void Update()
  {

    if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Space))
    {
      Instantiate(projectilePrefab, transform.position, projectilePrefab.transform.rotation);
    }
  }

[wintry quarry]

It's going forwards

Translate uses the object's local space by default

[lilac cape]

oooo, so I need to rotate the prefab. The prefab is currently facing the way the pizza is flying in the video

[wintry quarry]

Since it's facing down (relative to the screen), it's going down

[lilac cape]

Rotated it 180 and it's working now, thank you!

[copper jasper]

how do i fix this 😭

[lilac cape]

Did you use snipping tool to make video? I don't see a preview and didn't want to download a file lol

[acoustic belfry]

Hey, what i did wrong? For an odd reason when i talk with an NPC and end its dialogue, when i try to do so with another, this one only displays it first message and thats it 😦

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

[copper jasper]

I recorded on my phone

@lilac cape Not a file now

[grand snow]

dear god no

[copper jasper]

idk whats going on bro

i try to fix one thing then the next breaks

its getting worse and worse

[grand snow]

im shocked at the video being a screen recording of a video which is a phone video

[copper jasper]

its cause on obs it doesnt show the video

so i had to use my phone to show the tearing

[grand snow]

is it recorded at 60fps?

[copper jasper]

yes

its what i see

the screen is tearing for me too

[grand snow]

do other games act like this?

[copper jasper]

no

i tried other unity games

i had others test my game

its only my game

[grand snow]

does this happen in a new scene if you rotate the camera back and forth via the inspector?

[copper jasper]

wdym

btw it even happens in the editor

like without going in game

so its unity

but its js way worse in game

I must be doing this wrong right

    void HandleLook()
    {
        // Get mouse input and apply sensitivity and frame-rate independence
        float mouseX = Input.GetAxis("Mouse X") * mouseSensitivity;
        float mouseY = Input.GetAxis("Mouse Y") * mouseSensitivity;

        // Update rotation values based on mouse movement
        xRotation -= mouseY;
        yRotation = mouseY;

        xRotation = Mathf.Clamp(xRotation, -maxX, maxX);  // Limits looking left/right

        camTransform.localRotation = Quaternion.Euler(xRotation, yRotation, 0f); // Camera transform
        rb.MoveRotation(rb.rotation * Quaternion.Euler(0f, mouseX, 0f));
    }

    void LateUpdate()
    {
        HandleLook();
    }

I think i just made the code worse

how come this guy dont got ithttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E5zNi_SSP_w&t=110s

[grand snow]

im gonna blame your pc

[copper jasper]

already have it on

[green karma]

using
navMeshAgent.SetDestination(Player.transform.position);
in update causes the enemy to just stay still and keep recalculating

[eternal needle]

https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.1/Documentation/ScriptReference/AI.NavMeshAgent.SetDestination.html

Note that the path may not become available until after a few frames later
so recalculating it every frame means it is never completing

[green karma]

ooooooooooooooooooh

so any solutions?

or better yet

[eternal needle]

don't calculate it every frame

[green karma]

whats the optomized one

after specifc seconds causes it to jerk

everytime it recalculates

[eternal needle]

the docs I linked also says in the next sentence

While the path is being computed, pathPending will be true

[rocky canyon]

firstly you'd only set a new destination if the destination was changed from the previous one.. or they've reached the destination.. (conditional)

no need to set a destination everyframe.. or even more often than u need to

[green karma]

okay, ill try this

[rocky canyon]

theres also navagent gizmo's and overlays in Unity that can really help vizualize whats going on.. where its going, when it changes all that good stuff

[eternal needle]

when its the players position, id assume its likely changing every frame. I'd really either just set it every X seconds, or if they moved far enough from the agents destination

either one would solve the issue. your agent isnt going to take seconds to calculate the path ever. if it does, you shouldnt be calculating such a large path

[rocky canyon]

good point.. i also feel it adds a bit of organic feels/randomness when its not updating instantly every single step u take

[copper jasper]

how do i fix this 😭

yes

happens in editor and game

all of unity not only in unity

i even made another project empty still happened

and in game it happens to others too i let people install the game happend to them too

how 😭

[acoustic belfry]

Somebody knows how to use Ink?

or what channel is better for stuff like that

[green karma]

thanks guys 🙂 it worked @rocky canyon @eternal needle

[copper jasper]

what version of unity do u use

[eternal needle]

you'd have to see if they have some discord or forums. or start debugging and figure out what exactly your issue is

[green karma]

using 6

[copper jasper]

how come u dont have screen tearing

how did u fix it

[lilac cape]

Using 6.1

[copper jasper]

how come i have screen tearing bro 😭

[lilac cape]

is it your monitor? What's your monitor hz set to?

[copper jasper]

60

[polar acorn]

Some combination of GPU, monitor, and drivers

[copper jasper]

it happens to everyone that installs my game and not only that but it happens in the editor without even playing the game

rtx 4070 ti
amd ryzen 7 9800x3d

as i said it happens to anyone who installs my game too

[teal viper]

Could be a broken editor installation

[lilac cape]

Do you manually set the frameRate in a script? Does graphics card have sync settings enabled? Does the stutter happen in URP and HDRP

[teal viper]

Or something you're using in the project. Try a new empty project

[teal viper]

This is definitely lack of vsync.

[copper jasper]

I tried a empty project too

Ima try using unity 2022

Maybe unity 6 is bugged

Im also gonna try the lts version of unity 6

[teal viper]

Vsync is likely off

[copper jasper]

Ig u could say my pc is so powerful it cant even be stopped by vsync 😭

[rocky canyon]

i have 3 versions of Unity6.. no screen tearing on any of my projects.. new or older ported ones.. soo thats not it

[teal viper]

You should make sure vsync is enabled and test in a build

[copper jasper]

Howwww

What could i be doing wrong

I showed yall that i have vsync on

[teal viper]

Take a screenshot of your quality settings. With he platforms and vsync visible

[copper jasper]

Here

[teal viper]

Is this quality settings actually being used? Take a screenshot of the top of the page.

[copper jasper]

Gimme 1 min im in da toilet 😭

@teal viper

[teal viper]

Okay. And if you build and run now, does it still screen tear?

[copper jasper]

yes

[acoustic belfry]

Ok, well, thanks

[teal viper]

MP4 please

[copper jasper]

its an mp4

lemme use obs to record the vid

its cause i recorded it on my phone

1 sec

overlay?

not working idk why

thats js great

even with this

pretty sure ye

ye i did

it says 1

I tried to use this for capping fps at 60 it worked but made the screen tear even worse and laggy as hell

using UnityEngine;

public class fps : MonoBehaviour
{
    // Start is called once before the first execution of Update after the MonoBehaviour is created
    void Start()
    {
        Application.targetFrameRate = 60;
    }
}

are u using unity 6 and is it on dx12

ye i tried without vsync

[boreal cradle]

I dont use unity 6 and I use dx11

do you have a gsync monitor

monitor plugged into GPU and not motherboard right?

[copper jasper]

ye

[copper jasper]

how do i use dx11
