#

not a chance

copper jasper
#

ok

#

so what do i do

#

its 1 am ive been tryna fix it since 10 am

boreal cradle
#

are your GPU drivers up to date

copper jasper
#

yep

#

i had my friend test it on his pc he got it too

boreal cradle
#

show the info for it

acoustic belfry
#

Mmm but now realizing, maybe this is more a script issue or smt, maybe how it handles files?

boreal cradle
#

Windows -> Display -> Advanced display settings

copper jasper
boreal cradle
#

is 60 the max?

copper jasper
#

yes

#

theres 72 but that makes my res 800 instead of 1080

boreal cradle
#

hdmi or displayport

copper jasper
#

hdmi i think

#

but i dont think its my pc its the unity project cause my friend installed a build of the game too

#

he got the same issue

boreal cradle
#

Project settings -> Player -> Graphics API

#

try dx11

copper jasper
#

doesnt exist in unity 6

#

ima try 2022

copper jasper
#

@boreal cradle It was direct x 12

#

I removed dx12 from here so it can only use dx11

Hello , I have this in my code

using Steamworks;

now how can create a build without using Steamworks ?

What does this mean? I just moved a parameter from the subclass to the superclass....

#

It's not repeated as far as I know

does anyone know why my game is using 100% of my gpu?

Perhaps. Check if there's a way to exclude plugins or sdks from a build.

#

i forgot, whats the best practice for retrieiving a reference to a game object when you can't pass it directly? ik theres numerous diff methods but which is the best practice

sour fulcrum
#

Depends on the context

main current
#

im trying to make an object that on collision rotates the player's gravity by 180 degrees. I have done this by setting gravityScale = -1 and this works well. the only problem is that i cant jump when my gravity has been rotated

#

how do i do that?

keen dew
#

You'll have to do the same to the jump force

main current
#

just set it to a negative value?

#

but then my sprite will be upside down

#

could i flip it using transform.rotate(180,0,0)?

#

that would invert the controls

keen dew
#

What does the sprite have to do with jumping?

main current
#

nothing, im rotating the gravity so my player will be on the ceiling

#

if i set the jump force to negative then my player sprite will be wrong

keen dew
#

Why would the jump force have anything to do with the sprite

main current
#

it doesnt

keen dew
#

So what's the problem then?

main current
#

ignore the sprite stuff

#

the jump still isnt working

#

when the gravity is inverted pressing jump does nothing

#

the jump force is -400

keen dew
#

You need to show the code

main current
#

public float reverseGravityStrength = -2f;
public CharacterController2D controller;

private void OnCollisionEnter2D(Collision2D collision) {
if (collision.gameObject.CompareTag("Player")) {
collision.gameObject.GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>().gravityScale = reverseGravityStrength;
controller.m_JumpForce = -400;
}
}

keen dew
#

the jump code

main current
#

if (coyoteTimeCounter > 0f && jumpBufferCounter > 0f)
{
m_Grounded = false;
m_Rigidbody2D.AddForce(new Vector2(0f, m_JumpForce));
coyoteTimeCounter = 0f;
jumpBufferCounter = 0f;
}

keen dew
#

just show the whole code instead of small snippets. Use a bin site, !code 👇

eternal falconBOT
main current
#

what do i do after pasting it in paste bin

#

just send the file?

keen dew
#

Save and copy the URL here

main current
#

yes, i used a lot of brackeys

keen dew
#

I'm guessing the ground check doesn't work if you're up in the ceiling

main current
#

oh yeah

#

so if i flip the character using transform.rotate, shouldnt that flip the ground check too bc it is a child object

keen dew
#

probably

main current
#

nope

#

doesnt do that

keen dew
#

Also the jump force should be m_Rigidbody2D.AddForce(new Vector2(0f, m_JumpForce), ForceMode2D.Impulse); and it should be much smaller to compensate

main current
#

ok ill do that

keen dew
#

It won't fix this problem though

main current
#

i think the ground check is just rotating

#

it isnt going to the top of the player

#

maybe rotatearound

main current
#

i tried using chat gpt in desperation, it said this:

groundCheck.localPosition = new Vector3(
groundCheck.localPosition.x,
-groundCheck.localPosition.y,
groundCheck.localPosition.z
);

#

it works

main current
keen dew
#

Now the jump height doesn't change if you ever need to change the fixed time step

Hello everyone, I am currently working on my final year project and we are creating a game in Unity. So, I have to make a 2D action-adventure game and I have a small problem that I don’t exactly know how to fix. Basically, my enemy’s attack is a dash: it dashes towards me, and if I attack it simultaneously while it’s dashing at me with the next attack, my player gets a knockback for no reason.

Knowing that normally, when I attack my enemy, there is a base knockback, but for testing and to fix the bug I removed those lines and it still happens.

Plz help, why my character can only dash with W↑D→ and A←S↓ 😭

eager elm
spark berry
#

But i press them together

eager elm
#

you mean you can't dash by just pressing Space + W?

#

You should add some Debug.Log() in there to see if the Dash Coroutine gets called or not

spark berry
#

only W+A+Space and S+D+Space cannot dash

eager elm
#

I think the problem might be that the movement variable in your Dash Coroutine is not local. That means as soon as you let go of the WASD keys movement will go to 0. You might want to add a parameter for your coroutine of Vector2 and use that as your movement variable.
Otherwise the player could change the dash direction while he is dashing, not sure if that is how you want it to be.

oh wait i didn't read your full message sorry

#

try putting a log outside the if to see if the values are what you expect, log out the values you're checking in the conditional

Also if you can't figure it out check a keyboard rollover site to ensure your keyboard supports pressing many keys in a combo like that

The problem is in the if statement.

wintry quarry
#

What problem are you running into with the if statement?

proud moth
#

Is it possible to use XInputController with an ESP32 ?

fair shore
wintry quarry
#

Also your keys list thing makes no sense because Dictionaries are not ordered

fair shore
wintry quarry
#

So there's no rhyme or reason to the order of the List you are creating from it

#

You mean you want to know where in the 2D array your GameObject is

fair shore
wintry quarry
#

You would have to either do a linear search of the 2D array, or store that info in a dictionary or a component on the GameObject ahead of time

I feel really stupid asking this but I made my Unity project which has spaces in the folder name and I dont know how to get it into a git repo. I'd like to put the project on a git repo which doesnt allow this and I cant just initialize into the unity project folder because of the spaces. What can I do to start using git with unity like this?

keen dew
#

When you say that the git repo doesn't allow it, do you mean that you get errors? Or the repo maintainers don't allow it? Git has no problems with spaces in folder names

naive pawn
#

it sounds like maybe you're just getting problems with the shell

cunning narwhal
#

Thisll be a brand new repo and I'm trying to use GitHub Desktop

naive pawn
#

cat My file -> tries to find files "My" and "folder"
cat My\ file, cat 'My file' -> tries to find a single file "My file"

naive pawn
cunning narwhal
#

You can sort of see it here how it's forcing me into the dashes

image.png
naive pawn
#

it's not an issue, it's just telling you that the repo name won't exactly match the folder name

cunning narwhal
#

Oh ok, so if I created a repo then, whatever name. Do I move the entire project into that repo folder and begin pushing initial file and changes? If so, any issues with references breaking or anything?

naive pawn
#

no, the project folder is the repo folder

#

wait you have a project already, right?

#

seems like you're in the wrong menu

cunning narwhal
#

Yeah I have a Unity project already made and working on it and decided I'd like to put it into a repo

naive pawn
#

you have to "add repository", choose the project folder that isn't a repository, and then make a repository there
it's kinda confusing in github desktop unfortunately

wintry quarry
#

Also the name doesn't matter

naive pawn
#

yeah the workflow in this scenario is much easier with git cli lol

cunning narwhal
wintry quarry
#

wdym by "references"

naive pawn
#

what do you mean by "references" here exactly? there's a lot of things called that lol

sour fulcrum
#

or just making the repo via github site, pulling it from desktop and manually populating the folder

naive pawn
wintry quarry
#

you're really going to want to make sure you added a Unity-centric .gitignore before you make your first commit btw

i forgot how to move player by the direction....
help pls.
i used sin cos, but it doesnt work

naive pawn
#

that's... very little info to go off of

red ravine
#

dash

#

with direction

#

i have angle

naive pawn
#

X is cos, Y is sin

red ravine
#

wth, why

#

lol

naive pawn
#

that's how they're defined

#

sin is displacement from the X axis, aka Y displacement

#

though make sure you're in radians for that method, or you convert to them

wintry quarry
# red ravine

Also make sure your angles are in radians. These functions expect radians not degrees.

naive pawn
#

or you could use a quaternion

#

or maybe you could use a vector to begin with, depending on where dashAngle comes from
then you could avoid all this

red ravine
#

LOL THIS IS DONT WORK XD

wintry quarry
# 
Quaternion.Euler(0, 0, dashAngle) * Vector2.right;``` will do it (with 0 degrees being straight right)

naive pawn
#

yeah ZROT is in degrees, but math functions typically work in radians

red ravine
#

well, i forgot how this works

#

i didnt use unity 1 or 2 years

naive pawn
#

this doesn't really have anything to do with how unity works

#

you could:

  • store ZROT as radians, and only do the Rad2Deg in the rotation setting
  • convert ZROT back to radians
  • store difference and just use that (normalized) instead of using the angle
  • use Quaternion.Euler in OnAttack, which does expect degrees
red ravine
#

uuh... i dont know how to do that
i dont understand radians and degrees...

#

sorry

naive pawn
#

some things expect one unit, some things expect a different unit
you can't put in the wrong unit and expect everything to work, you have to convert to the right unit

red ravine
# 
    private void AttackAnim() //TODO: optimize and simplify code
    {
        transform.position = Player.transform.position;
        Vector3 diference = Camera.main.ScreenToWorldPoint(_lookInput) - transform.position;

        {
            ZROT = Mathf.Atan2(diference.y, diference.x);
            transform.rotation = Quaternion.Euler(0f, 0f, ZROT * Mathf.Rad2Deg);
        }

        if (timer > cooldown) 
        {
            if (_attack)
            {
                SwingEffect();
            }
        }

        if (timer > cooldownCOMB)
        {
            combocount = 0;
        }
        timer += Time.deltaTime;
    }
#

like this?

naive pawn
#

that would be the first option, yeah

red ravine
# 
    public void OnAttack(float dashAngle)
    {
        ROT = dashAngle * Mathf.Rad2Deg;
        rb.AddForce(Quaternion.Euler(0, 0, ROT) * Vector2.right, ForceMode2D.Impulse);
    }
#

ok, and thats in player script

naive pawn
#

uh.. ok, i guess this works, but why would you do it like this lol

#

that's mixing the 1st and 4th options i listed

red ravine
#

how to make it better

naive pawn
#

don't mix the options i listed lol

red ravine
#

To make matters worse, I don't know English that well.

#

thats so bad

#

im sorry

naive pawn
#

choose one of the options i listed, and only one
if you choose the 4th one, you could use the quaternion thing
but you don't need it for the other 3

red ravine
#

uh...
this is options,
not the steps...

naive pawn
#

yeah

#

i couldve made that more clear sorry

red ravine
red ravine
naive pawn
#

like... the normal movement, or the movement from the attack?

red ravine
# 
    private void Move()  //works
    {
        rb.MovePosition(rb.position + new Vector2(_moveInput.x, _moveInput.y) * speed * Time.fixedDeltaTime);
    }

    public void OnAttack(float dashAngle) //doesnt works
    {
        ROT = dashAngle;
        rb.AddForce(Quaternion.Euler(0, 0, ROT) * Vector2.right, ForceMode2D.Impulse);
    }
#

why this is doesnt work...

wintry quarry
#

that's going to override and replace anything you're doing with forces

red ravine
#

thats makes sense

naive pawn
#

fwiw you probably shouldn't use MovePosition if you want it to collide with stuff

red ravine
#

how to fix this?

#

i tried use MovePosition from attack,

wintry quarry
#

you need to redo your movement system

#

it's flawed

red ravine
#

but it doesnt works, or i made a mistake

naive pawn
#

have some state or bool to check if you're doing anything else that would require movement to be fixed (like attacking)

red ravine
wintry quarry
#

also consider turning off the normal movement code while you are dashing

#

or using forces for everything

naive pawn
#

you could set velocity instead of calling MovePosition to get the same movement effect except obeying collisions

red ravine
red ravine
#

thanks

# 
    private void Move()
    {
        //rb.MovePosition(rb.position + new Vector2(_moveInput.x, _moveInput.y) * speed * Time.fixedDeltaTime);
        rb.linearVelocity = new Vector2(_moveInput.x, _moveInput.y) * speed * Time.fixedDeltaTime;
    }

    public void OnAttack(float dashAngle)
    {
        ROT = dashAngle;
        rb.AddForce(Quaternion.Euler(0, 0, ROT) * Vector2.right, ForceMode2D.Impulse);
    }
#

thats doesnt work anyway...

#

character moves,
but doesnt dashes

wintry quarry
#

same problem

#

you are overwriting velocity constantly

#

how do you expect the AddForce to do anything

red ravine
#

aaaaaaaaaa notlikethis

wintry quarry
#

Also: speed * Time.fixedDeltaTime; it doesn't make any sense to be multiplying deltaTime or fixedDeltaTime here

#

get rid of that

#

(and reduce the speed to something normal)

naive pawn
#

also you should probably use normalized on that vector

For questions about esp32 x Unity do I have to state it in "input-system" ? (or it's fine here)

naive pawn
#

i don't think it's gonna easily get answers, not sure many people would know about it

#

have you tried just googling for "esp32 xinput"

#

xinput isn't a unity-specific thing

proud moth
#

Yeah I did, but I was wondering if it's possible to use XInputController only Instead of using my Cpp code to print in serial and reading the serial in c#, then assigning into variable by reading it and converting string to int

naive pawn
#

well, are you outputting in xinput? that's all it takes

#

if the esp32 says it's an xinput controller and gives valid data in that format then unity should pick it up just fine

like if i change the public float's name it wont update it
does anyone know how to fix it

#

ive tryed to reset but that wont fix it

copper jasper
raven wedge
#

but relaunching the unity project updates it

cosmic quail
copper jasper
#

yep

#

60 fps

#

i made my own script to cap fps

#

and show fps

#

I just got a fully clean unity install

#

but now the tearing is back in editor

#

so its even worse

cosmic quail
copper jasper
#

how can i disable dx12 on unity 6.1

#

wdym

cosmic quail
copper jasper
#

its not opened

#

making the editor use dx11 fixes the issue but only in the editor

#

i put dx11 above dx12

#

but that only fixes it in the editor

#

if i build the game it happens again

cosmic quail
copper jasper
#

oh ig so

#

but it happens to anyone who installs my game

#

its not only for me

https://paste.ofcode.org/38fvf5Q9in8rRNe8MynTg2j hey im searching help on this mesh generator im working on which should generate a plane but i cant figure out how to automatically generate the triangles from my vertices. also i dont know if im doing the vertices generation correct

cosmic quail
#

in your video i did not see screen tearing for example

copper jasper
#

Im gonna send a build to my dads pc to see if its only me but when i gave it to my friend he had it too but it may have been bad code

cosmic quail
#

because it depends on the monitor

copper jasper
#

Alr im gonna go test on my dads pc gimme like 5-10 mins by the way thank you so much for helping

#

@cosmic quail IDK WHAT HAPPENED BUT ITS FIXED

#

FINNALY ITS BEEN 2 DAYS

#

OMG

#

I fr have no clue how its fixed but i prob broke unity while installing it

#

oh wait i js remembered i enabled vsync in nvidia lemme try without it

#

@cosmic quail It only fixes when i enable vsync from nvidia control panel

#

but that would mean everyone needs it

#

alr ima test on my dads pc js to be sure

idk why some of the geometry looks the way it is

So, it's inverting any negative scales which is probably making your stuff look different than you were expecting

Nevermind

Don't use negative scales for anything?

https://paste.ofcode.org/vhkvrG2JdmSza24xeUjbtt

so i have this custom bouncing method because the normal physics material has the same bouncing effectiveness no matter if the collision happened against something vertical or horizontal, but the issue im facing is that i get infinite bouncing sometimes. I could after a certain amount of bounces change the material to a material that has low bounciness (right now its at 1, which is basically 100%, i need it to retain full force cuz i handle the bounce in my custom logic), but thats an ineffective solution, havign to create an extra material just for this, i dont like this solution. I tried setting the y velocity to 0 both before and after my custom logic (which runs on collision btw), still it bounces too much, does anyone have any suggestion on how i can approach this?

wintry quarry
scarlet skiff
#

also, it seems i cant modify the global speed threshold

wintry quarry
#

wdym by "global speed threshold" and how are you trying to modify it?

scarlet skiff
wintry quarry
#

"not bounce too much" is much too vague to actually write code for

scarlet skiff
#

i will show example

wintry quarry
scarlet skiff
wintry quarry
# scarlet skiff

check if the velocity is below a certain threshold and do something different then

scarlet skiff
wintry quarry
scarlet skiff
#

oh it starts with "Linear" i was looking for tsuff that start with S

scarlet skiff
#

ill try out that linear sleep tolerance

wintry quarry
#

sleep tolerance isn't really for this kind of thing

#

it's a performance optimization for objects that have stopped moving

scarlet skiff
#

i dont see any other way out of thhis

wintry quarry
scarlet skiff
#

i mean, i tried setting the bounciness factor to like 0.95 or something, but it still continues

scarlet skiff
wintry quarry
#

not really - and why would you bother calling your function after that anyway?

scarlet skiff
polar acorn
scarlet skiff
#

wouldnt all those micro bounces trigger oncol enter

wintry quarry
scarlet skiff
wintry quarry
#

how would it be different
In my proposal you wouldn't be messing with the velocity and thus causing extra bounces after it dies down

scarlet skiff
wintry quarry
scarlet skiff
#

oh sorry i misread your proposal

wintry quarry
#

it has 0 y velocity, right?

scarlet skiff
scarlet skiff
#

wait

#

are you suggesting i set the gravity to 0 after x amount of bounces

wintry quarry
#

No

#

I never said that

#

I said simply stop calling your function which messes with things if the velocity gets too small

scarlet skiff
#

but the method simply multiplies the y velocity with a decimal less than 1

#

so like 0.6

#

but ill try that

wintry quarry
#

you should probably do some debugging and make sure that's not the one that's happening

#

I can't imagine you want that happening almost ever.

#

Doing == with your vectors is pretty dangerous

scarlet skiff
#

hmm true, i should have like a 0.05 off factor

naive pawn
wintry quarry

#

i was planning to use like tile map, but i assume even then maybe somethign could go wrong

naive pawn
#

(you mean 1e-10?)

scarlet skiff

#

either way

#

tiny

scarlet skiff
#

also i changed the if statements to this, no visible change in bouncing behaviour

#

better to use Vector2.Angle and/or the dot product

scarlet skiff
#

it works for my set up and it has its reasons

scarlet skiff
#

so like

#

Vector2.Angle(normal, vector.up) and check if the deg diff is bigger than like 10deg or something

wintry quarry
#

check if it's less than, if you're checking for it being the "ground"

scarlet skiff
wintry quarry
#

exactly

naive pawn
#

the normal is an arrow pointing out perpendicularly from the surface

wintry quarry
#

so the angle between the normal and the world up vector should be smaller than a threshold

scarlet skiff
wintry quarry
#

ahhhhhhhhhh

#

and there it is

#

you are using networking too

scarlet skiff
#

yea

wintry quarry
#

that's a huge wrench in the system

scarlet skiff
#

does tend to be that way a little

#

im not sure if i included that orignally

#

that i use networking

#

i might have forgotten

#

shoot

#

wait

#

no it does have all the correct networking components

#

network transform, rb and object

but yeah i can change it for something else now that im thinking

polar acorn
#

You do know that the entire loop will happen at once right?

#

If you're trying to get NewSize to reach MaxTextureWidthForShowcase, you can just... set the variable to that

scarlet skiff
#

maybe they want something to gradually shrink

#

but in that case use update

polar acorn
earnest wind
scarlet skiff
#

and update method is dependant on like frame rate, no? so u should either use a timer or fixed update i believe

no im not trying to make it shrink gradually

Howdy, Wondering the best way to code this, I'm making 2 elevator doors that constantly go in and out (broken elevator) I know how to tween the doors to move to their positions, but i'm unsure on how to like deal with the looping logic? like I want them to keep doing it, Closing, opening, closing, opening etc

Unity_Z2gPKsnEQQ.png
#

I'm using dotween

#

I can't put it in update because it's going to try to fire the tween to open it every tick

#

When it should

-scene starts-

Tween to open (takes 1 second)
Then tween to close (takes 1 second)
(repeat)

#

Maybe a looping inumerator with a 1 decond delay?

grand snow
#

I would have done this with an animation tbh

also those appear to be some very tall doors

hello guys

flint rivet

Hey,

Issue:
I'm having some trouble with enemy/projectile sprites "shaking" when the main camera is moving (it follows the player). The sprites appear to split into 3 different sprites even though there is only one sprite. It also appears to be most obvious when both the player (therefore camera) and the enemy/projectile is moving, but it still occurs when the enemy/projectile is stationary. If anyone one has any ideas I'm more than willing to try them.
Furthermore , when I try to screen record it happening it doesn't show as three different sprites just one jumping back and forth. I attached the video and a recreation of what it looks for me.

Relevant Code:
https://paste.mod.gg/ieslszpsdanz/0

Other Info:

  • I'm just using a regular camera with perspective view, I've tried to use a target cinemachine camera but same thing still happened.
  • I tried different ways of doing the player movement, such as using the old input system.
  • It's a 2d universal project.
  • I've tried it on different computers and it looks about the same.
  • I've also tried to build the project and it still occurs.

2D sprites

rocky canyon
#

hmm.. 🤔 they gone bonkers lol

#

i would think if it was camera related the things in the center would jitter around too

flint rivet
#

I would think so too but when I stop the camera from moving it doesn't do that jittering anymore

rocky canyon
#

dont know the answer yet.. ^ but having the extra video really helps visualize whats happening

#

it was hard to tell from that first one

#

so the middle blue circle is the player.. and its moving.. and the screens following.. (keeping it centered)

flint rivet
#

yep

rocky canyon
#

gotcha 👍 im skimmin thru the code rn

flint rivet
#

The script I use that move the camera to the player's position, but I've tried to remove the script and make the camera a child instead or use cinemachine targeted camera but it keeps happening.

rocky canyon
#

it may just be lack of interpolation.

#

i wouldn't think it'd be like this tho.. more like this if it was interpolation issues

image.png image.png
#

since the bullet isn't really ever going anywhere but straight

rocky canyon
#

like the update vs late update/ smartupdate stuff

flint rivet
#

No, I'll try that now

rocky canyon
#

and from the looks of hte projectile code ur only adding force just 1 time..

#

soo that doesn't seem that it'd be that either 🤔

#

unless some of ur TriggerCollisions are firing

#

ya, what about those collisions? they arent being spammed or anything are they?

#

i tend to simplify things piece by piece when i have issues like this..

flint rivet
#

yeah, makes sense

rocky canyon
#

is it the projectile? if not.. is it when i add a camera..

#

etc

flint rivet
#

I'll check the collisions in a sec

rocky canyon
#

but the conditions u listing off dont sound like anything corresponds with anything i know of lol

#

Camera and camera code is my instinct atm

flint rivet
#

For the cinemachine camera with smart/late update the projectile seems fine, but the player goes crazy and then with fixed update the player is fine but the projectile goes crazy lol

rocky canyon
#

ahhh.. thats progress believe it or not

#

how are u moving the player?

#

now im going to guess with Translation..

#

transform.position =

flint rivet
rocky canyon
#

i think its sync issues..

#

player moving 1 way, camera moving 1 way, projectile moving 1 way..

#

and u combine that all together to get jitter pie

#

if it were my project.. id set the camera to have the projectile work as it should.. and then i'd try to tune the player movement to work in that setup

#

b/c the projectile code seems fine.. (ur using forces.. and its a rigidbody.. makes sense)

flint rivet
#

That would make sense, as now that I'm looking at it I'm moving each with a different technique:
Camera is transform.position = ...
Player is rigidbody2d.linearvelocity = ...
Projectile is rigidbody2d.AddForce(...)

rocky canyon
#

ya, lol

#

makes perfect sense now

#

need to try to do some consolidation

rocky canyon
#

or LateUpdate rather

#

called after all the Update functions run

#

may be the trick. but i got a migraine.. and i cant be sure of anything right now 😦

flint rivet
#

When I was trying to find a solution I did find that LateUpdate was recommended, unfortunately it doens't help

#

The weird thing is that I did try to follow a tutorial series (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xZe8m2ujoig) which used different techniques but somehow I ran into the same problem.

Night Run Studio
Top-down Movement: Action RPG in Unity Tutorial #1

In this beginner-friendly series, we're going to create an Action RPG in the style of Zelda: A Link to the Past. In this first video, we'll setup our project and sprites, and then get our player character moving.

Next up we will add animation for walking and idle states.

Planned Release of Video #2: June 2, 2024

I'm planning to release one vi...

▶ Play video
rocky canyon
#

wonder what would happen if u put ur player movement in update but kept it as rb.linearVelocity as it is now..

rocky canyon
#

i wonder if its a refresh rate / vsync type issue.. ben seeing alot of those lately for w/e reason

flint rivet
#

I can try again, maybe using OBS this time instead of ShareX

#

Give me a min

rocky canyon
#

if OBS cant catch it either.. im gonna guess its a refresh rate/ screengraphic/monitor type issue

#

especially since u following a different tutorial resulted in it as well 🤔

flint rivet
#

Yeah, OBS doesn't pick up what I'm seeing either. At the end when the enemy looks like its jittering in the video for me it just looks blurred.

naive pawn
#

-# use mp4 so discord can embed it

flint rivet
#

The weird thing is that, I have tried it on 2 different computers and it occurs on both and the specs of the computers are totally different

ivory bobcat
#

Are all of your objects moving with physics?

rocky canyon
flint rivet
#

Okay, so I downloaded the unity 2d platformer example project and while the enemies and background isnt jittering the player is

#

So, there is a chance it isnt due to my code but something else

rocky canyon
rocky canyon
flint rivet
#

The the bottom strip definitely (36fps) and perhaps a tiny bit on the middle strip (72fps) but not on the top one (144fps)

rocky canyon
#

just for shts and giggles i wonder if u cap ur framerate in ur game if you still have the problem?

# 
void Awake()
{
    Application.targetFrameRate = 30;
}```
flint rivet
rocky canyon
#

lol.. pandora's box we're in right now

flint rivet
#

i.e. I see it jump about but there arent multiple copies

rocky canyon
#

it does sound like code and sync issues then

#

with a lower frame rate u can capture it

#

not sure why the 2d example has the player jumpin about tho

flint rivet
#

Weirdly it was only doing it some of the time and it was much less noticable then in my game

rocky canyon
#

if ur talkin about this one that is..

#

runs fine for me

rocky canyon

what if its dropping frames

#

a lack of frames would mean it'd have to move farther on the next..

could peep the in-gameview statistic menu

hey i'm new to unity and I'm trying to find the localization text from an IL2CPP unity game that I'm playing. I'm not trying to modify the files, just extract the text for a project I'm working on.

I'm using AssetStudio and I can see all the files. However all of the TextAsset resources are just UTF-8 encoded files that seem like they aren't related to the localization. Does anyone have some guidance they could provide me?

P.S.: I don't see any relevant .json or .txt files in the directory at all

ivory bobcat
#

Set objects who have rigid bodies and that are moving in the scene (within camera range if performance is an issue) to interpolate

#

They'll all be smooth thereafter (plus/minus Unity delta time issues)

lavish tinsel

they just look like this

#

yea, dalph.. i mentioned that earlier.. along w/ trying different updates w/ his cinemachine..

#

both these responses seemed important to me

#

pizzaparty, if ur modding or not.. this dances on the line.. and im pretty certain you wont get help from here

lavish tinsel
#

is there a better channel to ask this?

#

this doesnt break the EULA of the game I'm playing

rocky canyon
#

not from this channel. as its forbidden..

#

yea its a channel rule.. not a unity rule

eternal needle
#

no, it's not discussed in this server at all

rocky canyon
#

^ you'll have to take it to google unfortunately 😦

it definitely falls under decompiling/asset ripping

if it's possible that these data are just stored in a text file, but i'm too naive to know that - is that advice allowed?

#

i completely agree with u

flint rivet
rocky canyon
#

ya, i mentioned getting his projectile working smoothly w/ the camera and once thats set (which is the more important) he can fine-tune use different methods to get his player to look okay.. but it'd be harder to do it the other way around..

his player.rb.linearVelocity= is being updated in FixedUpdate.. i suggested just trying it in Update..

when i have these issue i just grind and grind trying this and that until i get something close enough to what i desired inthe first place

flint rivet
rocky canyon
#

lol

flint rivet
#

Okay, you guys are awesome. By changing my players rb to interpolate it fixed everything (projectile already was interpolating).

phew!..

if it were a fixed camera.. it'd been loads faster to solve

since u had a camera trackin the player.. and the rigidbody/projectile seemed to be what was being affected. etc it made a bit more difficult.. (muddied the waters)

big thanks to Dalphat 🙂 to emphasizing interpolation

Yeah, I wish I had time to dive into things worked in Unity on a deeper level (these issues would probably be less common) rather than just hack and throw together things from random tutorials I find. Unfortunately, its for a school project and I'm on a time crunch.

If I have a very large script, is it better to have helper functions and define structs (for structured binary file parsing) within the script doing the work or called from separate scripts?

lone nexus
#

notes?

worldly wasp
#

Oh, maybe I’m confused about what a helper function is. I’m talking about functions that do things for me. Like a function to decode certain messages in the file I’m parsing

#

Or like a function to convert the bytes to a string or an int32 while also moving the data forward for further parsing or something like that

#

It looks kinda untidy having two different classes in the script that is controlling the data being parsed

alr so im making an item system and trying to figure out how to do it. I was thinking instead of each individual item being a prefab i could make each item just be a normal class so that item data can be passed around between the item in an inventory, thrown on the ground, held in the players hand, etc. However, i cant serialize a normal class so assigning things like icons or 3d models would be difficult or even impossible, im not sure. Is my method a good idea? are there work arounds to serialize the class? I did think of using scriptable objects for items but each item is so vastly different in how it works that i dont think it would work very well.

sour fulcrum
#

you can serialize base classes

#

via [System.Serializable] on the class in question

#

but scriptableobjects sound like they might wanna be involved in some aspect of that kinda system

thorn holly
sour fulcrum
#

Sounds like a route you might want yeah, Although you may just want a straight up instanced prefab rather than a base class but depends on your usecase

copper wind
# thorn holly so maybe a scriptable object for each item for things that are consistent betwee...

have a base class named item which has common properties. then child classes that inherit it and do custom fuctionality because idk what your game is but you will probably have different items. it's also good for OOP because you can make lists etc on the base class. And usually what the player is 'holding' and what they have equipped are usually two different things. You'll have some item manager or something tell your player model to hold the item, and an inventory class to 'equip' the item. Two separate things that sync

thorn holly
#

then i make a item database script that has a list of every item and can return it based on name

sour fulcrum
#

stuff shouldn't be based on name

thorn holly
#

ig i could make the item database have a unique variable for every single scriptable object item but that would become long and ugly

sour fulcrum
# 
public abstract class ContentBehaviour : MonoBehaviour
{
    public abstract ScriptableContent ScriptableContent { get; }
    public abstract Initialize(ScriptableContent content);
}

public abstract class ContentBehaviour<T> : ContentBehaviour where T : ScriptableContent
{
    [field: SerializeField] public T Content { get; private set; }
    public override ScriptableContent ScriptableContent => Content;

    public override Initialize(ScriptableContent content)
    {
      if (content is T castedContent)
        Content = castedContent;
    }
}

public abstract class ScriptableContent : ScriptableObject
{
    public abstract ContentBehaviour ContentPrefab { get; }
}

public abstract class ScriptableContent<T> : ScriptableContent where T : ContentBehaviour
{
    [field: SerializeField] public T Prefab { get; private set; }
    public override ContentBehaviour ContentPrefab => Prefab;

    public T Spawn(Vector3 worldPosition) => Spawn(true, worldPosition);

    public T Spawn(bool usePosition = false, Vector3 worldPosition = default)
    {
        T instance = GameObject.Instantiate(Prefab);
        instance.Initialize(this);

        if (usePosition)
            instance.transform.position = worldPosition;
        return (instance);
    }
}

This is really basic but this foundation can be used to create a sibling based relationship between data for a piece of content and an instance of content that I've found to be a solid start to stuff like this

#

You don't need to use generics for this if you haven't messed with them yet but overall the point here is to have a system where your scriptableobject has the templated data and can be used to spawn a prefab, and the prefab is initialized with that scriptableobject which it can reference the values from and the scriptableobject itself

#

being able to compare the scriptableobject itself is a massive gain because instead of seeing if the item is a dirtblock based on name eg. you can just see if its the dirtblock SO

thorn holly
#

wait sorry im confuse

#

with ur idea

#

can u walk me thru it

sour fulcrum
#

Same kind of idea just an example of an implementation of it,

Ideally you would have your overridable functions on the prefab though rather than the scriptableobject

thorn holly
#

and why do i need a prefab?

#

im trying to store every item as a type and a number not its own object

#

so like a specific slot in ur inventory just has some base Apple data (the scriptable object) and a num representing the amount of apples there are

sour fulcrum
#

Which you can and should do yes, but where do you want the actual object of the apple to live. if we use Minecraft for example and your holding 64 seeds, ideally you probably want the code that lets you plant the seed not on the piece of itemdata (seperating data and logic)

#

(i get that you don't want 64 instances of the seed object to exist just because your holding it ofc)

thorn holly
#

ah i see the issue

#

i just dont fully understnad the code posted above

sour fulcrum
#

Yeah fair, that might have been abit sauced up from the getgo, apologies

thorn holly
#

all good

sour fulcrum
#

You'll probably want some instance of an object to do the functionallity of your stuff, and I usually choose prefabs because Unity doesn't really support the ability to pick a specific Type in editor very well.

The example above is basically just a way to make a MonoBehaviour class rely on a ScriptableObject asset and the ScriptableObject asset relying on the prefab that spawns that MonoBehaviour

#

so you might have like

ScriptableItem : ScriptableObject

public ItemBehaviour ItemPrefab
public Sprite ItemTexture
etc.

  public ItemBehaviour SpawnItem()
    ItemBehaviour instance = Instansiate(ItemPrefab)
    instance.Initialize(this);
    return (instance)

ItemBehaviour : MonoBehaviour

public ScriptableItem ItemData

public void Initialize(ScriptableItem item)
  ItemData = item;

public virtual bool CanPrimaryUse() { return false; }
public virtual void OnPrimaryUse() { }
#

then

SeedBehaviour : ItemBehaviour

public override bool CanPrimaryUse() {return true;}
public override void OnPrimaryUse()
{
  //Planting stuff
}

but then (depending on the items in your game) you might only need this one ItemBehaviour to cover multiple scriptableobjects, so again using Minecraft we could have a ScriptableItem for Potatoes, Carrots, Wheat, Beetroot etc. that all point to a generic seedbehaviour prefab

#

and then in your inventory you can use the scripableobjects like you said, and have maybe some <ScriptableItem, int> dict

thorn holly
#

whats the prefab of?

#

like in mc

sour fulcrum
#

the held item

#

depends a lot though and this is just one way to go about it

thorn holly
#

ok i think i sorta get the general concept

#

so the so handles inventory data

#

oh so wait a lot of this is the same as my idea

#

only adding the prefab

sour fulcrum
#

so handles inventory data and provides your items with default information

thorn holly
#

im just not sure why it needs to be split between a prefab and an so

#

like why cant i put those primary use functions and stuff in the scriptable object

sour fulcrum
#

ok so another minecraft example

#

your holding your pickaxe as a scriptableobject right

#

and you mine a block

#

and now your pickaxe needs to modify it's durability

#

who owns that durability variable

thorn holly
#

oh thats the thing in my game theres no item specific vars

#

every gold sword is the exact same gold sword

#

every apple is the same apple

#

no durability, enchanting, etc

#

unless im missing something real obvious lol

#

still maybe i should still have a prefab for stuff like animations

sour fulcrum
#

If that's the case then you can avoid something like this but i'm not too familiar with many games like that 😛

thorn holly
#

i think

#

ill prolly do the prefab thing tho safer in the long run

#

so just to confirm

#

every item consists of a scriptable object and a deactivated prefab with its own script\

#

the scriptable object holds item data shared between every instance of the item

#

the prefab's monobehavior script stores item specific data and on use functions

#

ok thank you so much for explaining this to me

sour fulcrum
#

more or less yeah 😄

and then a more accurate / nitpicky answer regarding inventory,
the scriptableobject doesnt handle inventory, but the inventory is handled using the scriptableobjects

thorn holly
thorn holly
sour fulcrum
#

Yeah, there's a couple more hurdles that would probably be involved there.

If you asked me on the spot how i'd handle a Minecraft inventory in Unity i would probably use ScriptableObjects and such as we've mentioned but probably also have 1 instance of that item per stack.

eg. maybe with

(ScriptableItem,int)[] inventorySlots = new (ScriptableItem,int[36];
ItemBehaviour[] inventoryInstances = new ItemBehaviour[36];
#

and then you'd need to handle stuff like those pickaxes having a max stack size of 1 and all that jazz

thorn holly
#

oh that makes sense

thorn holly
# sour fulcrum Yeah, there's a couple more hurdles that would probably be involved there. If y...

k i made it specific to my game and wrote it down so i dont forget:
every item consists of a prefab and monobehaviour script with a ref to an so. so holds shared data, monobehaviour holds item specific data and runtime funcs (onuse). items in inventory are a prefab called stack data, which holds a single instance of the item prefab and a value corresponding to amount there is, and disiplays the icon from the items prefab's scriptable object and number of items in the stack. Inventory slots and the mouse (when grabbing a stack) hold a stack data instance. Dropping an item simply makes an instance of a generic dropped item prefab which just holds an so corresponding to its type and displays the icon.
ill implement this tmr.
Thanks for all your help!

hey I was just wondering if i could get someones opinion on how im creating my first game. Im a somewhat beginner, i can navigate unity desently but if you handed me a blank visual studio document i wouldnt be able to do much. So far in my 2d top down game my process for adding things is: "i need an inventory system..." search a video on yt and add it. i try to really engage with the videos instead of mindlessly adding code i dont understand at least a bit. But i want to eventually be able to code mostly by myself and im learning things from watching videos bit by bit and debugging helps too but should i pivot into learning true fundamentals of C#? i wouldnt consider this "tutorial hell" which ive experienced in the past b/c i feel progress but is it the right kind of progress?

data structures and OOP are super useful. learning about things like design patterns are useful, especially like publisher-subscriber for game events. so if this is what you mean by true fundamentals then yes. and a lot of people reference tutorials or ask chatgpt things even in there 2nd, 3rd game etc. You just slowly get better at simple things and start looking up more advanced stuff, then learn to do more and more stuff on your own. practice makes perfect

solemn tundra
copper wind
#

those are computer science concepts, independent of any specific coding language. you can google them, they are commonly taught in cs education. for OOP (object oriented programming) you will need more structured info / teaching since that's important so maybe look up like a free codecademy course or just watch some youtube videos. same for data structures, which are things like linked lists, hash tables, etc. Design patterns are super useful, but you learn this after data structures since they use data structures in their implementation. The best way to learn those is to probably just look it up then learn by implementing it yourself as practice

eternal needle
# solemn tundra hey I was just wondering if i could get someones opinion on how im creating my f...

definitely learn some c# outside unity if you want to not struggle with syntax or basic logic. there is a beginner c# course pinned in the channel, "intro to c#". if you want to understand input/output or problem solving then there are lots of challenges online like leetcode or whatever sites are popular these days. itll get you pretty familiar with data structures.
there is not much you need to understand for what "OOP" is. it will mean nothing to you at the moment and you most likely aren't going to find a way to use c# in a non OOP way.

Yo, I'm having an issue between Unity and Github where when my project mates pull the project from Github there's messed up 3d models and all the references done in the editor get messed up, so a Game Object will show that it's supposed to have a script but it will say missing script. I tried to google it and didn't quickly find anything that helped me so I was hoping to get some ideas in here. The Gitignore isn't set to stop .meta being pushed so people who pull should be getting my .meta, which is an issue I saw coming up a few places.
Sry if this is the wrong channel for this

eternal needle
blissful vessel
eternal needle
#

🤔 wait a second, you have *.meta right there in the git ignore

blissful vessel
eternal needle
#

your git ignore IS ignoring meta files

blissful vessel
#

Wait... Let me double check, I stg I had meta in our repo

eternal needle
#

its possible someone updated it, so any meta files that were previously in the repo are still tracked. hard to really say here but you are using git, so you can see if that was always there

#

the 3rd line in that file is the link to the latest version of it

#

Not sure if github is slow right now, i cant really load anything to take a screenshot. But if you go to github and find your git ignore file, you can swap to the Blame tab and see who edited it

blissful vessel
#

Okok, we do have .meta files in the git repo. I think we added it to the gitignore after the initial push to try to fix the issue of 3d models not working after cloning the repo the first time. As far as I understand it, having it in the git ignore won't actually stop it from pushing on Github if there's already a commit of that file type present, like I'd have to remove the .meta files already present in the repo for that gitignore to ignore .meta. But am I understanding it wrong? Are the script references getting messed up because we never removed the .meta from the git ignore again thinking it wasn't doing anything?

eternal needle
#

yes you need the meta files so thats why things are not working

I have a problem that I dont know how to handle. I have a project that has a camera movement, a player movements and some other scripts. In Game Editor once I pressed play, the sensivity was the same with the one that I have in the build app. But after some changes in another script, nothing about the camera settings or player movement, nor camera movement, the sensivity on the game editor became very very slow, but in the build it was the same. Luckily, I had a backup and once I loaded the new scene and the new assets, everything became good again. So its not from the scripts, neither the scene. It's not my first time I encountered this type of problem and a resolve to it would be very helpful. Thanks in advance!

We were having some issues w/ one of the people who cloned the init repo where a bunch (but not all of them, strangely enough) of the 3d model assets were returning a "GUID not found" issue or something like that. Looking it up we saw somebody saying it had to do w/ the meta files on the assets so we started to try to remove them from the repo so that the person w/ the issue could remake them on their own end, but then we learned you shouldn't do that and we stopped but I forgot to take the .meta out of the gitignore still. My friend still has that GUID issue w/ some of the 3d models but it isn't causing any real problems other than that 1 person not being able to see everything we pulled from the asset store.
In short, you are supposed to commit your meta files

yall i need suggestions, so i am kinda lost, lets say i wanna link a class from anoher script to the other, what way do you sgugest i link them, i was thinking of inheritance, and another question, can i have multiple inheritances on the same class, like class name and monobehaviour

you can't, no

but if that other class already inherits monobehaviour you could just extend that other class

though unity tends to lean more towards composition than inheritance

# naive pawn are you perhaps using deltaTime on mouse input

I saw that time.delaTime is fps dependent and since unity editor might be slower it can be slower sensivity but now its not this case because its like 10 times slower. If it would be a small difference, probably but a huge difference like 10 times, i dont think its possible

sour fulcrum

its possible

naive pawn

it's possible

#

mouse input is already frame dependant

full kite

And how to make it non dependant on frame rate?

naive pawn
#

you don't...?

#

maybe i phrased that weirdly

full kite
#

And why on another project with the same script and deltaTime, its working?

naive pawn
#

mouse input is already movement per-frame
deltaTime is used to convert per-second stuff to per-frame
mouse input shouldn't use deltaTime

full kite
#

So shouldnt be multiplied with deltaTime if it is basically

naive pawn
#

yeah

full kite
#

Ill look through it but tho, why on a project the sens in the game editor is the same as in the build and on another project with the same files is 10 times slower.

sour fulcrum

is the fps different

I mean shouldnt be everytime the same, if its the same script if its a problem with the script?

Hi guys, think this was asked hundreds of times now but I can't find a good solution for this.
I'm using the KCC from Philippe St-Amand, which offers a groundcheck via spherecast.
This works great so far but getting onto 90° ledges gives me back an unstable ground (angle above stable slope angle) and I'm sliding off of the platform. Has anyone an idea how to properly avoid this behavior?

#

I could put all my slopes onto its own layer and put the stable angle at 89° which would help a lot, but I want to avoid the manual labor if possible

now to the main problem.is it possible to attach couple of my classes in my OOP script to the "playerScript"

It's still difficult to know what "attach" means there but you can use the other classes wherever you want

I don't know what the end goal is so maybe? Components are attached to gameobjects but that's Unity-specific terminology. The rough equivalent for plain classes is just making new instances with new

that wouldn't be a hierarchy, but sure

that's what composition is
