Somehow it worked, then it didn't, this stuffs confusing

[frosty hound]

It is absolutely impossible for myRigidBody to have worked. The only answer here is that you saw it seemingly work because it didn't compile any changes you had made prior to changing it. As you said, no point arguing these facts.

[onyx geyser]

Then maybe I pressed play too early??

[frosty hound]

But as you're configuring your IDE currently, these things shouldn't be able to happen again since it'll get auto corrected/underlined.

Yes, maybe you did.

It could be any number of reasons that aren't "that it worked with different spelling", which is absolutely impossible.

[onyx geyser]

Thank goodness, can actually autofill some of it instead of typing everything

I have a habit of breaking things the moment I even look at em, unity was having some compile errors the moment I started it up, figured that could've been related

[drowsy karma]

Hello everone! I'm a professional Roblox developer looking to try, and hopefully move forward to Unity. I'm struggling to start, and have been looking for good example games to take a look and experiment with. Could you guys recommend any? I done some research, and i'm trying to find one with dependency injection, and UI Toolkit, as these concepts were my go-to's when developing on the Roblox engine. Thanks!

[frail hawk]

check the pinned messages in this channel

[drowsy karma]

I've loooked through them, although it's not what i'm looking for. I rather learn using an existing project, rather than using guides or tutorials.

[frail hawk]

i would recommend recreating some simple famous games like flappy bird or temple runner but it seems like you are more focusing on asset development than game dev

since you said roblox development and ui

[keen dew]

https://github.com/search?q=unity+topic%3Agame&type=repositories

There isn't a project that would be generally known for good practices or quality code

[drowsy karma]

This might be what i was looking for!

also, i've seen a lot of paradigms recommended; ECS, DI, etc.. which is the most popular? As in, which one should i take a look into first?

[crisp furnace]

favorite animator tutorial for 3D sprite render?

im kind of lost in that unity gives me no errors but the game doesn't do anything different with my new script either.

[frail hawk]

sorry but what is 3D sprite render?

[tired summit]

anyone know what causing this flickering behavior?

[frail hawk]

any code to provide?

[neon glade]

hi, wondering why i cant drag my sprites into the sprites folder?

[frail hawk]

change Multiple to Single

[hollow palm]

there are many possibilites, but maybe u can try look at the rigidbody2D setup if ur movement system uses one, ie: interpolate

[sour adder]

Try moving the camera in LateUpdate(). Maybe show some code of how you move the objects and camera.

[neon glade]

it just made the sprite disappear and it still cant be dragged

[frail hawk]

restart unity, sounds really weird

[ripe galleon]

i want to code a enemy attacks pattern, could someone explain me when to use cooldown, timer or wait for seconds?
which one does interrupt the flow but doesn´t allow a 2nd flow to come after the first

so that the flow is only going through once

[frail hawk]

how you implement the cooldown is up to you, you can use a Coroutine(Wait for Seconds) you can use the Update method with a timer or something similar

[ripe galleon]

and is it the timer or is it the cooldown which lets multiple flows go through at once?
also i tried a little bit with wait for seconds but the flow get´s completely cutted even tho i did use the coroutine at the beginning

100% on me tho because i lack the understanding of flow and right conenctions and utilization

[frail hawk]

so to explain it simple, wait for second just executes code after a certain amount of time.

[ripe galleon]

when i switched the wait for seconds to timer and it worked exactly how i did think it would

i used wait for seonds in other comamnds and it worked well

but yeah, i only have the problem of the flow not getting prioritized correctly, i only have a very little experience with unity so far
if i could understand time stops better it would be quite helpful

[frail hawk]

i think the fact that as you said you have only little experience explains it

[ripe galleon]

yeah 😅 only 2 weeks ago i got the gist of how to do things more alone without guidance or tutorials

[tired summit]

try rubber duck debugging first mate

[dusk temple]

are there any 3d boss battle tutorials? more spesifically and first person or third person like in elden ring bosses

[meager raven]

can someone help me.
ive been trying to an a oncollisionenter code thing to my script, but no matter what it wont trigger

this is it

[clear juniper]

is this 2D or 3D? Do you have:

• a rigidbody (or rigidbody2D) on at least one of the objects?
• a collider (or collider2D) on both of them?
• any collision layers set?
• "IsTrigger" disabled for both colliders?

[meager raven]

I am using unity 2d. I have a 2d box collider on all objects, and they also both have a rigidbody 2d

is trigger is not checked also

[clear juniper]

ah then it needs to be

void OnCollisionEnter2D (Collision2D collision)
{

}```

[meager raven]

ohhhhhhh okay thanks!

ill try that

[clear juniper]

no problem 😁

[meager raven]

it works.

my god are you awesome

[clear juniper]

🎉

it's an easy thing to miss when you're just getting started, but eventually all of this will come naturally!

[split plover]

Dumb question but whats the keycode for left mouse button

[vital tartan]

Mouse0

[split plover]

oh

i put mouse1

[tired summit]

here's the docs also
for no further confusion
https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.1/Documentation/ScriptReference/KeyCode.html

[split plover]

Its gonna take me 9 years to read this all so im just gonna look at it whenever i get confused on what something does

[tired summit]

just scroll down

[split plover]

well

[tired summit]

all the keycode are there

[split plover]

for now i dont need to know any other keycodes

so i'll just wait till i need to know keycodes for it

[carmine breach]

Aight im like really new to unity, trying to get some basic movement set up (which I have managed to do) but I got this problem with my character just sticking to walls when I jump up against them. I know its a problem with how I'm calculating movement on a slope ect. but I just have no clue how id fix it.
I can send the code file if needed, ik it will be a really simple fix like changing a single value or something. Did also follow a tutorial for it aswell.

[clear juniper]

is this in 3d? With a character controller or rigidbody?

are you using any physics materials?

[carmine breach]

probably should have specified yeah lmao, 3D charactercontrol and no im not using any phyusics material im pretty sure. all the physics and friction is all calculated and set in the character controller file

[clear juniper]

can you send the character controller then, please? 🙂

[carmine breach]

yeah no probelm

im already very sorry for the spaghetti the code is 😭

[winter plover]

    void Update()
    {
        float dist = Vector3.Distance(MainObj.transform.position, Player.transform.position);
        Debug.Log($"Dist is {dist}, rad is {rad1}, pos is {KeyObj.transform.position} ");

        if (dist < rad1 && Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.E))
        {
            if (KeyObj != null)
            {
                StartCoroutine(MoveKeyDown());  
            }
        }



    }

    IEnumerator MoveKeyDown()
    {
        KeyObj.transform.position = Vector3.MoveTowards(
        KeyObj.transform.position,
        TargetKeyObjPos.transform.position,
        speed * Time.deltaTime
    );
        yield return null;
}

so i wrote this

to try to move a key down until it reaches the targetkeyobjpos

but it only moves an inch everytime i click

like its at 6.00 Y level

and i click E and it goes to 5.99 or 5.98

and stops

(and then if i click it again it goes down more )

Quick question, what's the difference between Delta time and fixed Delta time

[winter plover]

delta time:

1. time in seconds it took to complete the last frame
2. used for smooth frame rate movement and animations in update and other stuff
3. reason why is frame rates can vary so multiplying by delta time effectively makes movement consistent

fixed delta time:

1. the fixed time between calls to fixedupdate() usually i think its like a .02 seconds (50 times per second)
2. used for physics calculations and updates in fixedupdate()
3. physics sims run at fixed intervals for stability and other stuff

[supple flume]

        if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.D))
        {
            gameObject.transform.position = new Vector3(speed * Time.deltaTime, 0) + gameObject.transform.position;
        }
        else if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.A))
        {
            gameObject.transform.position = new Vector3(-speed * Time.deltaTime, 0) + gameObject.transform.position;
        }
    }```
is my usage here good?

[eager elm]

Delta Time becomes the same value as Fixed Delta Time in FixedUpdate()

[supple flume]

this is put in normal update

[winter plover]

ur usage of
new Vector3(speed * Time.deltaTime, 0) is missing the Z component, also the Y component should remain the same (im assuming 3d space)

[winged seal]

anyone can tell me how i can make a grenade in vr?

[winter plover]

dude theres hundreds of tutorials

[supple flume]

2d space lol

[winged seal]

not for vr

[supple flume]

wait i did vector 3, i thought i did vector 2

my bad

[winter plover]

oh idrk

yea

maybe

im not a 2d guy

i think it is better to move it in fixedupdate tho

only if ur using rigidbody2d

else its okay

[supple flume]

na i am using normal transform movement

[winter plover]

then its good

just fix the vector2 issue

[supple flume]

        if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.D))
        {
            gameObject.transform.position = new Vector2(speed * Time.deltaTime + gameObject.transform.position.x, transform.position.y) ;
        }
        else if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.A))
        {
            gameObject.transform.position = new Vector2(-speed * Time.deltaTime+ gameObject.transform.position.x, transform.position.y);
        }
    }```

i did

idk what i was thinking lol

[eager elm]

While it works, it's not ideal because it's not framerate independent.
Better to save the current Inputs in Update() and then use them in FixedUpdate()

[winter plover]

its fine

[winter plover]

hey, can u try to help m with my issue/

[supple flume]

how to?

[eager elm]

Your Coroutine isn't really a Coroutine, you yield return at the end but nothing comes after it. Depending on what you want to do call the Coroutine again at the end or turn the whole thing into a loop

[winter plover]

so i can try removing the yield return end?

idk

im not that good at coroutines

[supple flume]

        if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.D))
        {
            gameObject.transform.position = new Vector2(speed * Time.deltaTime + gameObject.transform.position.x, transform.position.y);
        }
        if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.A))
        {
            gameObject.transform.position = new Vector2(-speed * Time.deltaTime + gameObject.transform.position.x, transform.position.y);
        }
         if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.W))
        {
            gameObject.transform.position = new Vector2(transform.position.x ,speed * Time.deltaTime + gameObject.transform.position.y);
        }
         if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.S))
        {
            gameObject.transform.position = new Vector2(transform.position.x ,-speed * Time.deltaTime + gameObject.transform.position.y);
        }
    }```

quick question, why when i move in 2 directions i get more speed

[eager elm]

private float input;

void Update()
{
    if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.D))
    { input = 1; }
    else if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.A))
    { input = -1; }
    else input = 0;
}

void FixedUpdate()
{
    transform.position = new Vector2(input * speed * Time.FixedDeltaTime, 0);
}``` Something like that

[winter plover]

if u move in 2 directions at the same time, you combine 2 speed vectors.

[supple flume]

i figured a way to fix it

[eager elm]

You want the player to click once and it keeps going down until it reaches the target, correct?

[supple flume]

ooo

[winter plover]

yes, but what is happening (issue) is when i click once, it goes down by a little bit, then if i click again it goes a bit more etc

[supple flume]

make a variable when you click it equals to 1, and it wont go down to 0 until it reaches the destination

[winter plover]

i feel like you overthought it cuz i could just use a bool value for that probably*

[supple flume]

or if its a point and click movement, save the click vector, and keep reducing the current location of the object with the saved vector, and it wont stop until it all equals 0

[eager elm]

IEnumerator MoveKeyDown()
{
    while(Vector3.Distance(KeyObj.transform.position, TargetKeyObjPos.transform.position) > 0.1f)
    {
       KeyObj.transform.position = Vector3.MoveTowards(KeyObj.transform.position, TargetKeyObjPos.transform.position, speed * TIme.deltaTime);
       yield return null;
    }
}```

[supple flume]

bruh who took the continous play bottom from youtube

[winter plover]

what'd ya change?

and how is it gonna affect the script

[eager elm]

it's a while loop now that "runs" every frame until the distance between KeyObj and TargetKeyObjPos is smaller than 0.1f

[winter plover]

ah i couldve read too lol

also can i ask one more thing

how do i add a glowing item indicator

or like a pointlight thats rlly bright

to an object

[supple flume]

as far as i know shaders

[winter plover]

so what can i do to make that

[supple flume]

ive never used shaders, they too complicated

[rocky canyon]

prebuilt ones arent

[winter plover]

so how do i make a pointlight/indicator for an item

in any way

[supple flume]

idk how to access shaders in a script, but it would be like if the item is hovered by the mouse, shader example activates

[winter plover]

eh i just installed prebuilt psx shaders

cuz im making a psx style game

suprisingly they are very good

i can try smth with that

[supple flume]

psx? what is that lol

[winter plover]

playstation

playstation 1

the graphics in ps1 games used to be up to 256x256 and no texture filtering

so everything was real pixelated in said games, leading to a new genre of videogames (mostly horror) in 2024-2025 called "psx retro" or smth like that

[supple flume]

oh those streamers horror games

[winter plover]

ya

[supple flume]

where they scream hella for no reason

[winter plover]

ya

mine isnt gonna be the uh

screamer type

its gonna be the psychological type/puzzle type

where it takes about 5 hours to complete 50% of the game stuck in one room

[supple flume]

what the hell is incorrect in here

the moment i wrote this line every other vector2 went nuts

[supple flume]

my patience would never

[clear juniper]

if you change Vector2 to UnityEngine.Vector2 does it work?

[supple flume]

surprisingly it does work now

what is the issue

[hexed terrace]

you've had a new using added automatically.. you need to remove it

[clear juniper]

have you got class Vector2 or struct Vector2 anywhere else in your code?

[supple flume]

got them here

[winter plover]

ayeo any idea how to make an item indicator?
i specifically wanna add some sort of image (like a glow) to a gameobject

[rocky canyon]

if u dont want to deal with shaders why not create a light that focuses on it?

like a spotlight

[supple flume]

when i delete fixed update, the vector2s go to normal

[rocky canyon]

ohh if u want a glow or an outline its probably gonna need to be an outline shader

good luck finding one that works well enough for u

[winter plover]

issue is not at all shaders, as i already have preset shaders

[clear juniper]

do all your opening curly braces { have a closing }?

[rocky canyon]

hover over the Vector2 and see what the thing says

[supple flume]

yes

[winter plover]

nah i was thinking of adding an image to the gameobject and applying my psx shader (which would make the image follow the plrs cam like a billboard gui type of thing) can i do that?

[rocky canyon]

ahh u have 2 namespaces w/ vectors

get rid of one

[hexed terrace]

so remove the second one (System..) from the top

[rocky canyon]

or specify which vector2

[clear juniper]

at the top of your script, delete using System.Numerics

it looks like your code editor has added that for you lol

[rocky canyon]

like UnityEngine.Vector2

[supple flume]

how the hell was it even added

[rocky canyon]

does it to me too

probably Random..

or soemthing like that

[naive pawn]

probably automatically when you hit enter on an autocomplete suggestion

[hexed terrace]

when you typed Vector2.. you selected the one from the wrong namespace in the autocomplete

[clear juniper]

Visual Studio/Visual Studio Code/Jetbrains Rider all have functionality to automatically add using statements from autocomplete

[rocky canyon]

or that ^

[clear juniper]

too many cooks now 😂 I'll drop out lmao

[supple flume]

oh

[winter plover]

@rocky canyon

sorry

wrong ping

[rocky canyon]

u good

[winter plover]

anyway can i do smth like thast

[winter plover]

add an image to it

[rocky canyon]

u meaning like an OnScreen Indicator?

[winter plover]

nono, an image

legit

an image of some sorts

that shows ingame

[rocky canyon]

ya, an image can be an indicator lol

[winter plover]

yeas

i will add a glow image to the miage

and apply a shader

i can show u kinda what i mean

[rocky canyon]

u can simulate glow.. with a transparent image.. if u wanted.. is this 2d or 3d?

[winter plover]

3d

[rocky canyon]

this ws the first thing that came to mind

[winter plover]

yes, my shaders will do the transparent stuff

i can show u a reference, one min

[rocky canyon]

ya, plz do

thers sooo many types we could be talkin about

[hexed terrace]

thread this non-code chat !

[winter plover]

a lighter item with a glow effect like this

[hexed terrace]

and/ or move it to #💻┃unity-talk

[rocky canyon]

ahh yes! this belongs in one of the Graphics channels

[winter plover]

shall we move?

[rocky canyon]

yes..

[winter plover]

alr where

[rocky canyon]

probably #archived-shaders

[silent obsidian]

While using Cinemachine Freelook Camera, i want to be able to also pan the camera by specific hotkeys. However if i access the cinemachinInputAxisController and modify the InputValue of the X axis the camera seems to stay the same. Any clues how could i do that? ( in the editor the value changes but the camera does not seem to move)

[supple flume]

    {
        
        
        gameObject.transform.position =  new Vector2(inputx *speed * Time.fixedDeltaTime + gameObject.transform.position.x, inputy * speed * Time.fixedDeltaTime + transform.position.y );
    }```
this feels so clanky anytips to smoothen it

[polar acorn]

Don't use teleport-based movement?

[supple flume]

what to use then, i hate rigidbodys too buggy

[polar acorn]

Rigidbodies, but you use them right

[supple flume]

Neva 🔥

[polar acorn]

Then suffer

[supple flume]

they are pain to deal with and configure

[hexed terrace]

Seems more like a lack of experience issue.

btw - you don't need to do gameObject.transform .. you can just do transform

[supple flume]

yeah ik, its just a muscle memory

[supple flume]

if i didnt lack experience i wouldnt be asking in beginner lol

[clear juniper]

unity treats objects with colliders as static unless they have a rigidbody - so you really do want a rigidbody if the object is gonna move 😅

[supple flume]

so i do the rigidbody.addForce or wut

[clear juniper]

nah you can just directly set rigidbody.velocity

or linearVelocity in unity 6+

so ```cs
void FixedUpdate()
{
rbody.linearVelocity = new Vector2 (inputx * speed, inputy * speed);
}

[thorn stone]

Hi, does anyone have youtube tutorial for 2d top down 4 direction sword/meele tutorial?

[polar acorn]

Or just use movePosition which is teleportation but less jank because it's the physics engine doing it

[supple flume]

I figured thank you

Man I love the unity community lol, full of kind people

[supple flume]

anything you think of, brackeys have made

[thorn stone]

Brackeys you say. I'll check it, thanks.

[clear juniper]

you probably don't actually need a tutorial - for any feature like this, try breaking it up. You can probably do each individual bit, or google it/ask here! e.g.

1. when the player presses the attack button
2. get the current input direction
3. play the sword swing animation for that direction
4. check collisions while the sword swing animation is playing. For this, you'd usually enable a collider during certain frames of the animation, and disable it when it's done! (You can do this in the animation clip)

[supple flume]

rigy.velocity = new Vector2(inputx *speed , 0 );

@clear juniper
so the body started falling hella slow

[clear juniper]

set the gravity scale to 0 on the rigidbody 🙂

[thorn stone]

Alright, thanks so much.

[supple flume]

i want it to fall normally, not to stop falling

[clear juniper]

ah I see - then rigy.velocity = new Vector2(inputx *speed , rigy.velocity.y );

[supple flume]

another question, which is why i hate rigidbodies, how do i stop the clamping when i go against a wall

[clear juniper]

what do you mean by that?

when you hit a wall, do you want to bounce off, slide along the wall, or stop completely

or just go through it

[eternal needle]

clamping probably isnt the word you want here. i assume you just want to put a frictionless physics material on the rigidbody.

[supple flume]

its when the object stops completely when i apply force opposing the direction

[clear juniper]

ah yeah that's probably the issue! In your project create a new physics material 2d, and set the friction to 0

[clear juniper]

ohhhhh I see

okay, in that case you might want to use forces then

or use SmoothDamp, one sec

[supple flume]

like this

[eternal needle]

you also dont have to use a rigidbody. its not the only way to have non "clanky" movement. your initial code was directly modifying the position in FixedUpdate rather than Update, so it was always updating at 50 times per second rather than once per frame.

[eternal needle]

yes do what i said above with the frictionless physics material

that is friction

[clear juniper]

that's a frictionless material, do this 🙂

[supple flume]

how do i make a friction material 2d, only the 3d one is showing up

[slender nymph]

this is a code channel. but look in the 2d submenu

it's also called a Physics Material not a Friction Material

[supple flume]

ik its physics material lol

[supple flume]

ik its a code channel, but one thing lead to another regarding a code

[clear juniper]

which version of unity?

it's in here for me

after you've done that you might want to smooth the horizontal motion, it'll feel nicer to play 😂

[SerializeField] private float smoothTime = 0.3f; // change this to make it start moving faster/slower. Lower = reaches max speed faster
private float _smoothVelocity;

void FixedUpdate()
{
    // your other code
    rigy.velocity = new Vector2 (
        Mathf.SmoothDamp(rigy.velocity.x, inputx * speed, ref _smoothVelocity, smoothTime), 
        0
    );
}```

[slender nymph]

that would be the "2d submenu" i told them to check and it's there regardless of which version of unity they are using

[clear juniper]

yeah screenshots are helpful though 😉

[slender nymph]

i mean, in this case not really. if someone cannot figure it out by being informed they need to look in the 2d submenu and a screenshot of the 2d submenu is required for them to figure it out, then they perhaps need to get their eyes checked or learn to read

[rocky canyon]

im guilty of screenshotting everything 😦 .. im trying to calm down lol

[supple flume]

its not that personal g

[slender nymph]

then why are you taking that information personally?

[supple flume]

you did

[clear juniper]

did you find it? 🙂

[supple flume]

yes thanks to you

[slender nymph]

actually i did not, i simply informed them how their screenshot was unnecessary. you went out of your way to specifically ping me about how "iTs nOT pErSoNAl"

[supple flume]

seems like you took it personal enough to get raged

[slender nymph]

just because someone provides information does not mean it is a personal attack on you. you can drop the nonsense now and move on

[winter badge]

Hey folks,
I am trying to make a simple endless runner and as part of that I want to Instantiate new "Ground" and destroy old "Ground" depending on the player position. The game already starts a single instance of gameobject "Ground". I have set up 2 different Trigger colliders, 1 for spawning new Ground and another for destroying old Ground.
The player starts between the destroy trigger and spawn trigger so the flow is : Player moves forward=> new ground spawns => once the player reaches new ground => destroy trigger will destroy the old Ground.

The first new Ground spawns as expected and the First old Ground destroys as expected.
Problem=> When the 2nd new Ground tries to Spawn, because the old Ground was destroyed, The spawnPoint transform which is a child object of the Ground prefab, doesnt exist EVEN THOUGH one clone of Ground ALWAYS EXIST.

Initially I was trying to get the Ground Object by name and since this issue I modified by using tag since the tag Respawn always exist in the scene, but still the issue persists
Appreciate any help on this

[slender nymph]

The spawnPoint transform which is a child object of the Ground prefab, doesnt exist EVEN THOUGH one clone of Ground ALWAYS EXIST
this is irrelevant, if you are referencing an object that is being destroyed then the reference will not automatically change to a different object when that object is destroyed, it will still point to the destroyed object. So because your spawnPoint variable points to the object that is in the scene, when that object is destroyed then spawnPoint will point to a destroyed object

you should instead refer to a prefab for the ground object, and on that prefab have a component that can reference its own "Spawn Point" child so that your spawner object can get that reference more easily from the instantiated objects

this will also eliminate the usages of the Find method and the GetChild with the magic number to clean up the code and (very very slightly) improve performance

[winter badge]

OMG I see it now after you pointed out. So basically, currently I am using the spawn point vector from the ground that would be destroyed before the new ground can spawn so it throws error. But If I were to have the spawn point value of each ground on itself, this could be avoided.
I am thinking I could keep adding the z coordinate with the length of the ground piece to get the coordinate when the new ground is created. Hopefully this will work.

Thanks a lot @slender nymph, I was cracking my head for a while on this😅 🫡

However I see in the console that adsAreInitialized and bannerLoaded are set to true after going through this while loop but the ShowBannerAd() is never invoked. What am I doing wrong?

here are logs for context

[cosmic dagger]

If the Instance is initialized in Awake and this is loaded in another scripts Awake, then you have a race condition. There is no guarantee one Awake will be called before the other . . .

[frail hawk]

i am still trying to figure out what the yield return will do in that while loop

[rocky canyon]

i think ur logic might be flawed..

[olive beacon]

Sorry i should clarify that this while loop is in a mthod that is called during the Start Method not the Awake method

[rocky canyon]

u want to wait while BOTH are false correct?

[olive beacon]

correct

[rocky canyon]

well the moment either of those become true.. the while loop exits

[cosmic dagger]

It returns to the caller and waits for one second before continue (ultimately exiting) the while loop . . .

[rocky canyon]

even if the other is still false

or wait..

while (!adsAreInitialized || !bannerLoaded) i was thinking.. but my brain aint braining just yet

[short hazel]

Yeah should be a OR here I think

[rich adder]

its like pausing until while loop is done
(checking every 1 second)

[rocky canyon]

confirmation 💪 !!!

lol

[short hazel]

Wait no, brain is not working

[rocky canyon]

lmao!! same bro

[short hazel]

I hate these conditions lmao

"Proceed if both are loaded"

if (a && b)
  // proceed

So invert, !a || !b

right?

[rocky canyon]

ya an || would wait until BOTH are true

right?

[frail hawk]

but wouldn´t it spam the yield return unneceserally

[polar acorn]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/De_Morgan's_laws

[zealous geode]

It would wait until one or both are true.

[rocky canyon]

ohhh yea ur right

[eternal needle]

didn't see the full context above, but the IDE should have options to invert conditions already

[rocky canyon]

thats where my brain was broken

[zealous geode]

&& waits until both are true

[short hazel]

Yeah you can use the "Invert if" IDE code fix if you don't want to think too much haha

[rocky canyon]

while (!(adsAreInitialized && bannerLoaded))

[short hazel]

That also works

[rocky canyon]

phew, i was waiting for a "well, no.." lol

conditionals like that confuse me

[high summit]

Hey so my doors are interactable, And they have a bool variable, I'm however slamming the doors shut during events by tweening them from other scripts, Now the issue is, Once I have slammed it, It's still in the 'closed' state so you have to click on it twice to open it again, Is there a way I can change this variable/bool from another script?

[short hazel]

Especially when both operands have a different individual state lmao
Go and invert a if (a && !b) for me, if you're never done it it's not easy

[rich adder]

make a reference if its public, or use a public method (better way)

[rocky canyon]

feels like the IQ tests i had back in grade-school for the "Gifted Program"

[naive pawn]

demorgan is a blessing and a curse

[rocky canyon]

im just learning of de morgan

[high summit]

public bool isOpen = false yeah it's public

[rocky canyon]

thanks for who-ever brought it up

the more info the better 💪 🤯

[short hazel]

But yeah what I do is just write the condition "normally" and use the "invert conditional" feature of the code editor lmao

[naive pawn]

demorgan also works for sets, (A & B)' = A' | B'

[frail hawk]

[SerializeField] Storagedoor sg; // assign the script via inspector then you can acces it

@high summit

[rich adder]

eg

[SerializeField] StorageDoor storageDoor;

public void SetStorageDoor(bool open) {
storageDoor.isOpen = open;
}```

[rocky canyon]

this not a typo?

whats A'

[naive pawn]

the negation/complement of A (A prime)

[rocky canyon]

ohh

gotcha

he sorta looks like me right now 😅

[short hazel]

Spawn is De Morgan Jr

"you disappoint me son"

[rocky canyon]

lmfao!

[eternal needle]

this all falls under "discrete mathematics" if you wanted to look further. honestly a lot of it might just fly over your head if you're not looking at a structured course. you also might not use any of it.

[rocky canyon]

if ur tweening them via another script.. just grab its reference and use a public function to call alongside it after tween..

ResetDoorState();

[high summit]

Yeah just done that works great

thanks folks!

[rocky canyon]

thats a normal occurance for me.. i still like reading into stuff (i retain what i can).. and atleast im exposed to things i cant

will do bawsi!

[naive pawn]

the way i think of it is "AND" is the opposite of "OR", and de morgan is just distributing the negation to the operator as well (not just the operands)
AND being the opposite of OR does kinda make sense, if you've ever touched making logic gates from scratch
negating the output of OR gives NOR
negating the inputs of OR gives NAND
negating both gives AND

and these are abstract definitions of AND/OR, they apply to

• logic gates AND/OR
• boolean algebra AND/OR
• set intersection/union
  unfortunately does not apply to mult/add in the reals - you'd be surprised how many things map from mult/add to and/or

[rocky canyon]

im learning embedded systems and electronics.. and it fascinates me at teh overlap we have in
conditionals in programming language.. and logic gates on circuitry

coding is all just data w/ (yes and notrue and false, on and off) in the simplest of senses

[short hazel]

It's like on equations when you have inequality a < b and at some point (I don't remember when) it can flip to a > instead

When you make an operation on it

[naive pawn]

if you negate both sides (by multiplying/dividing a negative number in)

[short hazel]

Yeah that

[rocky canyon]

🧮
2 < 5
-2 > -5

[eternal needle]

i might be against the grain here but i dont think its all that useful for you to look into discrete maths too much unless you have other work involving this stuff (doubtful). You could definitely look into the "laws of boolean algebra". There are more laws you can find online, a lot of them are very obvious.

out of all the laws, there are probably 3 that aren't completely obvious

[rocky canyon]

ya, i'll skim it.. i like knowing of things.. as much as i do understanding them..

[naive pawn]

addition and subtraction move the number line around, that doesn't change the relative position of the 2 values you check
multiplication and division are scaling the number line - when you multiply or divide by a positive number, that keeps the relative position the same, just the distance changes
but if you multiply or divide by a negative number, that flips the number line, so the relative positions swap

[rocky canyon]

i try to draw game-ideas and mechanics from everything .. soo possibly something unique in there that might get my brain spinning

[frail hawk]

every code beginner: "damn i joined the wrong unity channel"

[naive pawn]

advanced maths is beginner code obviously

[polar acorn]

I would definitely recommend looking into discrete mathematics if you intend to play Minecraft. That's where I learned it all. Restone Torch is a NOT operator and that's all that's required for turing-completeness because that's one hell of a gate

[rocky canyon]

i mean if theres anything a beginner should really hone their skills about its conditionals imo

esp since beginner code is 50% conditionals

lol

[eternal needle]

I guess the graph theory part of discrete maths could be useful too in unity. anything else im not sure you'd be able to use

[rocky canyon]

ive already fallen into a boolean algebra rabbit hole

discrete maths will have to wait a sec

[naive pawn]

sounds like some pure math stuff would interest you, like properties of operands/relations
imo if you get that kind of primitive understanding you can generalize it to a lot of things
i learned like 12 separate rules for differentiation in calculus even though it can be summarized in 4

• distribution over addition
• multiplication rule
• power rule
• chain rule

[rocky canyon]

ngl.. i feel i know alot more about maths than ur average person... but i still find myself asking myself things like this for example.. i had this thought:

someone was talking about Interest.. and how much u would accumulate after X amount of years. with it compounding..

well i had an interesting thought.. (i can totally do that math in a forloop in unity in just a couple of seconds)
but if i were want to do that using mathmatics.. and a simple equation.. im completely lost..

so i went searching and found the equation.. and compared it to teh for loop i had written.. and it just didn't seem to sync up in my mind..

things like that ^ are always rattling off in the back of my brain

[rocky canyon]

i def need to learn more about the rule of powers

ngl.

[naive pawn]

the power rule in calculus is kinda a specific thing, separate from rules of exponentiation in general

[rocky canyon]

ohhh.. see TIL 🫠

[rocky canyon]

any specific resources u might have handy? if not its fine.. i'll just jot down the keywords and go crazy a little later

[naive pawn]

the power rule in calculus is d/dx x^n = nx^(n-1)

[naive pawn]

i tend to just dive into wikipedia, it has very detailed information for these topics

[eternal needle]

its probably because you learned it for school/uni and then didnt have to apply it anywhere else. I did a math minor also so like calc 3, 3rd/4th year linear algebra, and some other course. This is more than most cs students because you're supposed to only do basic calc 1 and 2, then early lin alg. I was good too getting A or A+ except in one lin alg class.
Today, i couldnt tell you shit about how to do basic calculus

I do still think if you're going to look into these kind of things, you aren't going to use most of it. my suggestion for anything unity related still would just be boolean logic and graph theory. Calculus/pure math doesn't fall into discrete maths

[rocky canyon]

ya ur right.. soo many times im like "that sounds sooo familiar" and realize ive learned it before..

but just lost it

ya, boolean logic will be my topic of choice for a bit 👍
making a notesheet of what I think i know first.. and then we'll do a deeper dive and see where it takes me 💪

appreciate ur cautions

[supple flume]

        {
            rigy.AddForce(new Vector2(0,jumpforce));
        }

is this an ideal way to jump?

[rich adder]

no

[supple flume]

why

[rich adder]

in one frame that ain't gonna do much

[supple flume]

with 200 force it does

[rich adder]

probably want Impulse mode

[slender nymph]

use the correct forcemode and you can also use a reasonable amount of force instead of an unnecessarily high amount

[rich adder]

thats why even at such high number it probably barely does

[frail hawk]

@supple flume

[supple flume]

ik how to use keycodes and vectors lol, just not force mode, thanks for ur help tho

the forcemode script is unreadable for a rookie

i was trying to read it before uve sent it

[frail hawk]

use Impulse, it should be what you are looking for

it´s literally one line of code, what is so unreadable

[supple flume]

? the forcemode script is almost 200 lines

[rich adder]

the example code just shows the different forcemodes, you don't have to copy them all

[frail hawk]

actually i agree on that. the documentation for the ForceMode is kind of messy and not beginner friendly

reminds me of the microsoft docs

[polar acorn]

Because it's an example, not something for you to plant directly into your project without looking at

[supple flume]

ik, i just couldnt find the wanted line

i kept screwing around with it till i found out how

[supple flume]

got more similar pics???

[polar acorn]

It's literally the first result for "Unity ForceMode"

I just googled it

[rich adder]

its literally the second parameter of AddForce, its just an enum already defaulted to ForceMode.Force

[supple flume]

i use bing and bing is annoying as hell

[supple flume]

i did
(vector2.up * jumpforce, forcemode.impulse)

[frail hawk]

close

do you work without intellisense?

your IDE should have told you that there are a few code errors

[rich adder]

its fine except for capitalization..

[supple flume]

i just wrote this here, its different with capitalizations in code lol

Debug.DrawRay(transform.position, Vector2.down * lenght, Color.red);
why isnt this drawing a debugray

[slender nymph]

do you have gizmos enabled

yes

for the hit, it prints the original name

[slender nymph]

how to share large code blocks was still visible yet you decided to dump the whole thing here anyway

[supple flume]

i literally did the cs thing

[slender nymph]

yes, which is not how you share a large block of code

[rich adder]

Large Code tells you about sharing code in links..

[supple flume]

and the links doesnt work

it gives me bad gateway

[rich adder]

which link? there is more than 1 there..

[supple flume]

first one i clicked

[slender nymph]

if only there were 3 others you could choose from

[rich adder]

** tries one **
"well i guess the others are broken too"

[supple flume]

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

[frail hawk]

did you give length a value in the inspector?

[supple flume]

yes

[slender nymph]

anyway, if you are absolutely certain you have gizmos enabled and you have looked in the scene view and still don't see the line, then you need to check the variables you are using for the drawray call

[supple flume]

i gave variaty of small/large numbers

[slender nymph]

screenshot what you see then

[rich adder]

show your scene gizmos are enabled (no crop screenshot entire view)

[slender nymph]

including the inspector with the value of the lenght variable

[rich adder]

you dont have gizmos in game view

[slender nymph]

gizmos is not enabled in your game view window

[supple flume]

brh

[polar acorn]

Can you show a screenshot of the scene view with this object selected? Actually, the whole unity window, with the inspector open and visible as well

[slender nymph]

this is why i also said to check the scene view

[rich adder]

well Scene Gismos and Game View gizmos are not the same option.

[supple flume]

weeeeeeeelllllllll, thats on me

[rich adder]

if your PC is powerful enough you can also put scene view and game view side by side if you don't need to tab back n forth

[supple flume]

It can handle it, but my laptop screen is not that big

Everything gets squished

[rich adder]

then yeah gizmos in Game View, dont forget to turn it off when not needed cause that could also effect your performance in editor

[olive beacon]

Why is is that when i run, it will show the first debug log, but not the second debug log? In addition, it will not display the Ad so it seems that nothing after that yield is being invoked.

[slender nymph]

presumably whatever is starting this coroutine is being deactivated or destroyed

[olive beacon]

I have it set up that the method goes when the BanneIsLoaded Event is triggered.

[wintry quarry]

The coroutine will stop running if:

• The object it's running on is deactivated or destroyed
• StopCoroutine was used to stop it
• It may also not return here in a reasonable time if time scale is set to a low number or zero

[keen dew]

or it hasn't been started with StartCoroutine

[frail hawk]

they said they can see the first debug tho

[keen dew]

If you just call the function it'll run until the first yield

[slender nymph]

it shouldn't. it shouldn't actually run any of that code until MoveNext is called on the returned IEnumerator

running to the first yield was a common misconception

[keen dew]

That's interesting, I guess I was thinking about the lines running before the execution continues in the calling method

[safe vale]

hi there, i'm making a game and i want to make the spear bounce of the walls, but only works on the wall at the top, does anyone have a hint on why it's doing this, here's the code as well

public class SpearTrajectory : MonoBehaviour
{
    private Vector2 _surfaceNormal;
    
    private Rigidbody2D _rb;
    private Vector2 _direction;
    private float _speed;
    [SerializeField]
    LayerMask _layerMask;
    void Start()
    {
        _rb = GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>();
        _direction = _rb.totalForce.normalized;
        _speed = _rb.totalForce.magnitude;
        
    }

    // Update is called once per frame
    void FixedUpdate()
    {
        //Debug.Log(_direction);
        RaycastHit2D hit = Physics2D.Raycast(transform.position, _direction, 1f, _layerMask);
        if (hit)
        {
            _direction =Vector2.Reflect(_direction, hit.normal);
            _rb.AddRelativeForce(_direction * _speed);
            //transform.up = _direction;
            
        }


    }

    void OnDrawGizmosSelected()
        {
            Gizmos.color = Color.red;
            Gizmos.DrawRay(transform.position, _direction);
        }
    
} 

[olive beacon]

yeah i need to do more research on CoROutine. it seems like it never does what I think it should do but I am following what it says in teh Unity DOC so i am even more confused

[slender nymph]

show where you start the coroutine

or, better yet, show all of the code related to that object

[supple flume]

u can use tags for the wanted wall

[olive beacon]

Thats basically it.

[safe vale]

they are all in the same layer, are tags better?

[supple flume]

you can keep the layermask, but you have to specify the bouncy wall with a tag yes

[frail hawk]

looks like your collider only covers the tip of the spear, make sure to cover it completely., you can view the collider in the inspector.@safe vale

[slender nymph]

no, their suggestion is pointless. the issue is the direction of the raycast

or rather, the origin of the raycast being at the tip of the spear and the spear not rotating

[safe vale]

okay im seeing, so right now im using a line, maybe a sphere?

[frail hawk]

yep a circle should

[slender nymph]

that's not quite going to do what you think it does

[olive beacon]

ah shucks

[polar acorn]

And is this object ever disabled or destroyed?

[olive beacon]

nope, i checked every single object just in case

[polar acorn]

Do you do any mucking with timescale?

[slender nymph]

that was not directed towards you.

but yes, check what digi is suggesting. also consider putting a log in OnDisable to make sure it isn't being disabled

[safe vale]

yup it didn't

[supple flume]

yo

try shooting the spear towrads the top box then instantly move the rotation of ur player away

wait doesnt work

just try drawing gizmos and see

[olive beacon]

I am not even sure how to do that. I changed the float value in the yield from 1f, to 2f, to 5f, to just 5 and nothing seems to work.

[wintry quarry]

You don't have any code that pauses the game or anything?

[polar acorn]

Two things to diagnose it:

1. Log Time.timeScale before the yield
2. Add void OnDisable() => Debug.Log("Coroutine object disabled") somewhere in your script

See if the timescale is 0 or if this object is being disabled/destroyed

[olive beacon]

OOOOOH thats was it. but now i have to figure out where i pause it

the time scale was indeed 0

[rocky canyon]

https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.1/Documentation/ScriptReference/Time-unscaledTime.html not sure if its helpful but this variable doesn't rely on Time.timeScale

[olive beacon]

appreciate this, i might need this becasue I have a timer in the main game but I realized I paused the Timer in the Menu Screen.

[rocky canyon]

i use it to log playtime.. same concept

[lofty sequoia]

WHY does my interface return "null"???
I do a null check if(IMyInstanceType != null)
and it enters the if statement when the instance is NULL!!!!!!

when I ask Visual Studio what the value of the instance is, it says it is "null" <- literally as if in a string

so it's not null

[polar acorn]

Unity can have nulls that aren't nulls. An object slated for destruction but not cleaned up will exist, but == null will return true

[lofty sequoia]

it's "null"

so HOW do I account for this case?

[polar acorn]

Is the object that implements the interface a UnityObject such as a MonoBehaviour or is it an ordinary C# class?

[lofty sequoia]

yes it's a monobehavior

would this work?
if(object.ReferenceEquals(myObj, null))

[keen dew]

Normal equality check works

[polar acorn]

Should work then, if anything, it'd be skipping the != null check when it shouldn't be

[keen dew]

Usually in that case the code runs twice, once with a destroyed object and once with a non-destroyed object so it looks like it skips the check

[lofty sequoia]

it's not skipping the check, it's ENTERING the statement when it IS null

sorry I'm not yelling I'm talking as I type haha

[keen dew]

That's what skipping the check means

[naive pawn]

you can use WaitForSecondsRealtime instead of WaitForSeconds so it doesn't rely on timeScale

[lofty sequoia]

ah ok, skipping the check for me usually means it doesn't enter a statement block

[keen dew]

Do this and show what it prints:

Debug.Log("Checking " + IMyInstanceType);
if(IMyInstanceType != null) {
    Debug.Log(IMyInstanceType + " is not null");
}
else {
    Debug.Log(IMyInstanceType + " is null");
}

[naive pawn]

"skipping the check" generally means "the check isn't doing what i want it to do"
what you're referring to would be skipping the block or not passing the check

[meager raven]

anybody know why the text legacy wont display what i write?

[naive pawn]

not without more info, no. we aren't psychic

[meager raven]

i really dont understand whats wrong, no matter what i type in the textbox it wont apear

im using unity 2d btw

[naive pawn]

oh, not a code issue

[keen dew]

That isn't a code question but the box is probably too small

[naive pawn]

well, shouldve seen that coming

[meager raven]

then where should i ask this question?

[wintry quarry]

#📲┃ui-ux

[meager raven]

okay thanks

[lofty sequoia]

this prints null is not null

[lofty sequoia]

ah, that's one way of looking at it. I interpret "skipping the check" as literally skipping the block or not passing the check as you stated

https://discussions.unity.com/t/different-types-of-null/715834

[keen dew]

Wait is it literally a type and not an instance?

[naive pawn]

if you hover over the ==/!= where you compare the object, does it show UnityEngine.Object.operator == or something else

[lofty sequoia]

when I hover over the comparison, it shows the instance as literally "null" in strings <<<<<<<

the object in question _myObject is an instance of an interface IMyInterface that is implemented by MyClass : MonoBehaviour, IMyInterface

it's the same problem the guy in the forums was having

[naive pawn]

so probably not null, probably unity's fake null, given that you can apparently access props of the object

(that's not what i asked you to hover over though btw)

[lofty sequoia]

So my fix is literally just casting the instance as a UnityEngine.Object and that seems to do a correct comparison

[naive pawn]

probably yeah

i guess you could make your interface an abstract class that extends MonoBehaviour

not sure if that's a common fix

[wintry quarry]

The null string is definitely a destroyed object

[timid salmon]

why is my text not adding 250 when ScoreAdd = true

[wintry quarry]

Because you didn't write any code that would add 250?

[timid salmon]

yeah I Did

[wintry quarry]

looks like ScoreAdd is false

and once you fix that you will need to grapple with the fact that your code doesn't add anything, it overwrites a string with another string.

[rotund crown]

can anybody link me a simple movement script?
i just need to move around a capsule primitive and have it feel decent
my existing movement script feels teerible, accelerates too slow, deceleration feels jank

[wintry quarry]

1 . Use GetAxisRaw not GetAxis
2. increase the movementSpeed variable
3. increase the deceleration variable

[rotund crown]

what does getAxisRaw do?

[wintry quarry]

It gives you the raw input data

GetAxis has some smoothing built in

[rotund crown]

ah i see

mm still feels like it accelerates too slowly, maximum speed is too high, deceleration logic is just bad (it also decreases fall speed)

[wintry quarry]

for deceleration affecting the vertical you would need to fix that line to only affect horizontal velocity (i.e. factor the y out first, then apply it, then put y back in)

as for too slow accel and too high max speed you would increase the force even more and then make your deceleration proportional to the velocity or add a hard cap

[rotund crown]

mhm but i figured i'td be simpler to just borrow a movement script from the internet, i have little knowledge on how to make 3d movement feel good
plus my friends wanted to have the ability to jump despite the fact the final product will likely not have jumping

[wintry quarry]

sort of like how real drag works

[wintry quarry]

This may be surprising to hear but writing and especially tuning your movement to feel good is not easy

expect it to take time

[rotund crown]

not surprising at all, so many games struggle with it

it's for a minigame so having some simple configurable properties is ideal

[wintry quarry]

it might help to think about how running works in real life. When you are at a dead stop it's very easy to apply a very large force to your body and get moving quickly. But once you are moving, it becomes more difficult.

[rotund crown]

mhm but realistic movement isnt necessarily what i want

[wintry quarry]

A strictly realistic movement script would take that into account - applying a high force when you kick off the start and tapering off if you're triyng to continue to move in the same direction, while also allowing a very high "braking" force, since that's easy

Yeah i understand

I'm just talkjing about the forces that need to be applied if you want somewhat reasonable feeling movement

you need high forces to feel "responsive"

but then limitations on infinite acceleration in one direction

[rotund crown]

mhm, maybe even something like an impulse from the get go

[rotund crown]

hm, why cant i invoke an action with multiple variables?

ah duh i forgot you have to declare actions

[slender nymph]

what does the error say

[rotund crown]

i corrected it already, it was expecting <int>, had to add bool in there

[deep moss]

How do i do somekind of checklist where I complete a task and a display in front ticks the task I've done. Also what is it called exactly?

[slender nymph]

that's basically just a quest system. create some data structure that defines the quest: what needs to be completed in code, a property for the description, and an event. possibly even some id to save/load it's state
then when you add the quest to the task list your UI just gets the description and subscribes to some completed event. when the conditions for the quest are met you fire off that completed event and the UI puts a tick to indicate it is complete

[lyric cloak]

guys i need help with coding something

i want to make it so when you shoot you bounce backwards

would like it if you can make the knockback easily editable

if you can help please send me a dm or reply

[frosty hound]

Nobody is making anything for you, here.

[lyric cloak]

aww man really?

[frosty hound]

Yes absolutely

[lyric cloak]

needed help so though this sever would help

[frosty hound]

If your definition of help is a free handout, then this server is not for you.

[lyric cloak]

welp sorry then

[rotund crown]

hm, can i not set a variable's value on declaration?

it always seems to be false, and i commented out the logic that tried to change it

[slender nymph]

the variable is serialized which means whatever value is set in the inspector will be the one applied when this object is created at runtime

[rotund crown]

ah weird

[slender nymph]

that's kind of the entire point of serializing it

[wintry quarry]

think how weird it would be if the value you set in the inspector was arbitrarily ignored 😵‍💫

[twin pivot]

and also setting a variable's value on declaration is not really the best thing to do

[rotund crown]

truue

i want to create a serializefield variable that lets you select one of three options from a dropdown
how would i do that? an enum?

[wintry quarry]

enum yep

[rotund crown]

mmkay research time

[rotund crown]

hmm, how do i make it visible in editor?

adding serialize field here just made nothing show up in the editor, but no errors

[stuck field]

Well adding serialize field to a public isn't going to do anything extra, it should show up in the inspector as enums are serializable so it's strange it doesn't, if you plan on using SerializeField though, make the variable private (It's a better practice too as public means any script can access it, and this usually isn't what is wanted, look into access modifiers for more information about this)

Specifically here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/programming-guide/classes-and-structs/access-modifiers

(Not related to your question btw, just a tip)

For your question, could you show the full !code?

hmm odd, but yeah making it private did work

not sure why it didnt show when it was public

[rotund crown]

so seems like no need

[stuck field]

No clue, as far as I know should still serialize

I would assume you just didn't reload

And changing that reloaded it

[wintry quarry]

You probably had a compile error or didn't save or didn't refresh or something along those lines

[rotund crown]

prehaps

uh what do i put in line 98 to end the method without returning a variable?

also if i have the method call itself again, will it still return the selectedInt to the method that called it?

[sour fulcrum]

you have to return an int

[rotund crown]

mhm but i want this logic to repeat until it selects an int that isnt the lastselectedvalue

[sour fulcrum]

you might want more than one function involved here

[rotund crown]

for what purpose?

[slender nymph]

if you want this to be recursive then you need to return pickTileValue(); rather than just calling the method again

but i agree with batby, you probably want to split that logic up a bit

[sour fulcrum]

this kinda thing has two goals

pick a random value until you get one that isn't the last one

pick a random value
validate that value

might be cleaner to have one function that just picks randomly and returns the result regardless and another in charge of using that function to find a new "valid" one

[rotund crown]

ohh i see

the range of values is small enough that i dont need another method in this case

anyway, problem solved

[onyx geyser]

doing a tutorial from only 3 years ago, has the whole thing really changed that much? the velocity changed to linear velocity (albeit basically making the process easier) and things like getkey have also changed it seems

the whole tutorial has been more or less me troubleshooting the problems because it seems like the terms changed

[merry arch]

you can still use the old input system if you'd like, you can even do both now if you want!

[onyx geyser]

i'd like to use both

it'd be nice to have access to both at the same time without much error so i can follow different tutorials from different times while i learn how to use this thing

[merry arch]

It should just work by default? do you get an error when you try to?

[onyx geyser]

yeah, if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.Space) == true) get's an error that says i have switched to active input handling

[merry arch]

ok hold on

[onyx geyser]

so it won't let me press spacebar

i figured i could just switch but that would mean writing down the whole velocity thing underneath it differently, and i quite like how it looks now

unless there's an easier way to press spacebar

[merry arch]

yeah so what you can do is: ProjectSettings->Player->OtherSettings->Configuration->ActiveInputHandling and set it to both

takes a second to find it once you've gone to other settings lol

[onyx geyser]

i found it rather quickly

it's restarting now

theorhetically the first game i make takes less than an hour to make, unfortuntely for the tutorial i'm a bit of a cloud head so it's going to take at minimum, 3 hours

hey it works, thanks!

[merry arch]

np 😄

[onyx geyser]

learning about variables, this is one of the biggest reasons i picked up unity in the first place, this isn't productive text, i just love the idea of being able to make my own controls for the games

i'm like- fangirling out because i love this idea so much

[merry arch]

lmao wdym

[onyx geyser]

being able to make a slider to adjust the variable of something is such a cool idea to me, especially since you can do it in game and adjust to how you see fit

maybe i'm just being a nerd

[merry arch]

nah I get what you mean lol

[onyx geyser]

i'd absolutely love to use this when making scripts for items, their values being interchangable, can use this to make all sorts of things right off the bat

[merry arch]

when I was first starting out the idea that I could make my own variable that could be accessed by MY CLASSES was so cool to me

so I kinda get it

[onyx geyser]

example, if i wanted to make an item that applies statis effects, like bleed or critical chance, i can adjust the variable in which that happens with that specific weapon, can create a sort of 'base script' that i can copy and paste for each item so i don't have to make them individually

i haven't programmed before this, but for some reason there's a familiar feeling of having to make each thing individually, and i don't know where it comes from

maybe it's just that i like the idea of creating my own scripts and reusing them because i made them myself

[merry arch]

do you know about the Range property for variables?

so if I wanted a variable that could be from 1, 100 I can do

[Range(1f, 100f)]
public float someNumber = 25f;

I get a nice little slider in the inspector

[onyx geyser]

ooh

that's cute

does the range come with the slider? is that what makes it a slider?

[merry arch]

yeah, the Range adds the slider in the inspector, but it can't be seen in game view, it's like changing a variable normally in the inspector, just now you have a slider to go with it!

[onyx geyser]

WOAG

slider ehehe

[merry arch]

lmaoo

[onyx geyser]

i hope you know what you've done

[burnt vapor]

Yes https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.1/Documentation/ScriptReference/RangeAttribute.html

When this attribute is used, the float or int will be shown as a slider in the Inspector instead of the default number field.

[onyx geyser]

i love sliders

[merry arch]

lmao, that's not all, you can even add graphs, too

[onyx geyser]

huh

[merry arch]

I can't remember how to do that tbh

but you can

[onyx geyser]

i'm sure i'll find it in a tutorial somewhere

[merry arch]

maybee

there's always google though lol

[onyx geyser]

that's less fun, i like discovering things from tutorials or other people

[merry arch]

fair enough

[onyx geyser]

but now this has me wondering what the final product of the first project will look

because i totally expect it to be a linear one weapon game, but i also get carried away

and this seems like something i'll get carried away doing

[merry arch]

whatcha working on?

[onyx geyser]

ever heard of kingsfield?

[merry arch]

no 😭

[onyx geyser]

it's a first person dungeon crawler for the ps1 and ps2, made by fromsoftware, WAYYY before dark souls

[burnt vapor]

Could you guys take this to DMs?

[merry arch]

oh my bad

[burnt vapor]

No problem!

[onyx geyser]

my b!

[burnt vapor]

BTW if you want this to work better then why not just keep a collection of possible tiles and explicitly filter out the last value? What you have now is very slow. I assume yo don't call this frequently but I don't know your project

If the main goal is to get unique tiles then you could also shuffle the collection and drop them in a queue which you pick from. If the queue is empty then shuffle it again

[rotund crown]

thats what i already have elsewhere mhm

this logic is to make sure the last value doesnt match the first value of the next set

[rotund crown]

hmm, if thats faster then maybe that makes more sense, didnt think filtering was an option

but this is just a prototype, and it doesnt run often enough for a noticable (or any?) lag spike so its fine for this

but ill make a mental note

[burnt vapor]

If you want true randomization then just make a Queue of an initial capacity of 4 (assuming it's always 4) and then Shuffle and fill the queue when its length is 0 (which means on initial check and every 4th check since it would be empty again)

[simple hawk]

I've got this code for a spawner that spawns enemies, but the enemies seem to be spawning on top of each other (or somewhere in some kind of invisible radius) and that destroys the previous spawned enemies, kinda annoying since it can stop them from getting to the player in time

is there a way to fix it or get around this issue?

[sour fulcrum]

there's dozens on dozens of ways to solve this

what do you want to happen

[simple hawk]

I'm not exactly sure, I'm trying to make a top down game with an infinite wave of zombies, so anything but this, I guess

[sour fulcrum]

well this is a code channel

you don't really have a code problem here

you want to change the way the game works

[simple hawk]

oh, I thought it was a code problem

[sour fulcrum]

code does what its told

you have more of a game design problem here

perhaps look at similar games and figure out what they are doing for that kinda spawning system and what your game isn't

and think about how you want to change the code in order to make that happen

[simple hawk]

alright, thanks for the help, appreciate it

[sour fulcrum]

if you figure out what is "wrong" and what you want to change but aren't sure how to actually implement that via code thats when you are more than welcome to come here

[naive pawn]

this will lead to a bias fyi
the size of the range of values doesn't really change whether or not you need another method - it's just about logic flow

[brazen crescent]

Enemies spawn on top of each other because you don't specific a spawn position
https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.1/Documentation/ScriptReference/Object.Instantiate.html
Instantiate can take a position as an argument, you can look at the examples here for better implementation

hi, is there anyway to change which scene is opened at unity editor startup?

[hexed terrace]

Yes, close the editor with the scene you want open

[wintry quarry]

It will open whichever you had open last

ye i know it, but i want a way to change it

[hexed terrace]

this isn't a code question, if you want to ask more.. move to #💻┃unity-talk

You'd have to write an editor plugin if you have some custom behavior you want

[polar acorn]

Open a different one

[sonic hull]

i see, actually, i was caught into a very strange scenario, my unity stuck at start up in Entites's runtimeContentSystem update literally forever, and i cant think about anything peculiar i did other than opening a specific scene before last quit, so i would like to find some help about it

[marble orbit]

what is the difference of vector 2 and Vector 3?

[burnt vapor]

This is like the most Googleable question, ever

[sonic hull]

as it says, vector2 has 2 float, 3 has 3

[polar dust]

well, theres some other differences like the methods being different in each

Vector2 has no cross product

[marble orbit]

That always says if i google it but I dont know the meaning or what it does to my gameobject

[sour fulcrum]

its numbers

[polar dust]

its really about how you use them that matters, a Vector2 lets you create a 2D vector, a Vector3 lets you create a 3D vector

[sonic hull]

well... mostly we use vector refer to a position or a direction in 2/3D space, but for themselves they are just grouped floats, you could use them for whatever you want

is it bad to use the new input system package?

[wintry quarry]

of course not

it's preferred

[jaunty trellis]

Oh, scrolled up, saw the errors

[wintry quarry]

it's just harder to use for beginners

[wintry quarry]

that person got those errors because they have code using the old system but their project was set to use the new system

[jaunty trellis]

I'm very new but I think I've pretty mch learned it, and its very useful

[rich adder]

overwhelming until you realize its as easy as cs if (Keyboard.current.spaceKey.wasPressedThisFrame) { //jump } if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Space)) { //jump }

[jaunty trellis]

is that not old?

[rich adder]

top is new, bottom is old

just showing how easy it could be

but the main benefits is event based so you don't have to poll, action maps, rebinds etc..

[jaunty trellis]

ye ive wrote this so far

although the JumpEventListner is just setting acceleartion that allows player to move vertically

[rich adder]

If you use the Generate C# class option you can use Type-Safe actions skipping this string search bs

[jaunty trellis]

im sure there are better ways but im just trying stuff out

[naive pawn]

you could also use serialized references on the actions

[jaunty trellis]

and drag them all into the player? is that preferable?

[naive pawn]

idk about preferable, i'm just saying it's possible

[rich adder]

prefer whatever makes it easier for you

just know there are options that you could not do in old Input class

[wintry quarry]

x = x + y;
string s = x.ToString();```

[timid salmon]

ty ill see if it works

one problem is that a bool from the other script also needs to be met to add the set number to the text

This is what ive done but yeah..

[slender nymph]

"but yeah.." is not descriptive. what isn't working

[rich adder]

you can use &&

[timid salmon]

ty ill focus on my vocabulary

[slender nymph]

how about instead of being a smart ass, you actually say what isn't working

[timid salmon]

mb..

[timid salmon]

i need help adding the int number of a variable in a script into another script so i can use the variable and convert the int into text

[slender nymph]

again, what is not working with what you've shown.

[wintry quarry]

Adding things is done with the+ operator

[timid salmon]

The Int Alien Value Isnt being set as the text

[wintry quarry]

You'll want two numbers to add together

Not strings

[slender nymph]

then are you sure you've referenced the correct object?

[wintry quarry]

I helped you with this yesterday

You ignored me

And have made no progress

[timid salmon]

im rlly sorry i had to sleep

i asked too late and im still in school

[white girder]

Man I should really learn how the new input system works

[wintry quarry]

I pointed out that ScoreAdd is clearly false

So of course your code will not do anything

[timid salmon]

it gets set to true in this IEnumerator

[wintry quarry]

Clearly that has not run

Or not run yet

[timid salmon]

it will run if the "Alien" Gets Hit And Thats In The DamageTaken() Trigger

[wintry quarry]

Are we supposed to be mind readers

You didn't show any of that

[timid salmon]

thats my bad

[wintry quarry]

If you want help, show all of your code

[naive pawn]

ok so having all your logic in Update is gonna be an issue
you can't really link it with anything else and you'll be starting the coroutine every frame you're dead - which doesn't happen to be an issue in this specific case, but it's not great

[timid salmon]

Oh

https://paste.ofcode.org/gg82W6yfaP5A8SgcdJjaHH

heres the other code if that helps

[rich adder]

what is even the point of that delay anyway?

Destroy(gameObject); already has a float parameter for Time until destroy

[timid salmon]

so that an animation plays for 1 second and then gets destroyed

[rich adder]

you can do Destroy(gameObject, 1f); btw

though should make a isDead bool so you dont keep calling

[timid salmon]

oh

i diddnt now you kould do that

[rich adder]

if (Health == 0 && !isDead)
        {
            isDead = true;
            animator.SetBool("IsDamaged", true);
            Destroy(gameObject, 1);
            ScoreAdd = true;
        }```
