Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[sacred sierra]

sry if this is a commonly asked question and also sry for my eng (not my nativ).
i'm searching for scripts or a tutorial for a 2d turnbased battle like ff but evrything i found is to old or not completed i hope someone can help me out

this are the features i need just in case its importent:

• out of comabat member switch (party manager)
• attack, skill, magic, item and escape buttons (ui is alrdy done)
• skills use sp magic mp
• skills deal physics dmg and magic magic dmg (this one is not neccesarry if to complex)
• also the player can switch classes out of combat (if this is neccesary for combat)
• i also alrdy did scriptableobject for classes, items, skillsMagic, equipment, buffDebuff and enemys
• also i have a skript to store each class for each individual member of the party and a runtime script to store the actuall data like current health etc.

*also called sideview battle

[rich adder]

also why is the score manager relying on a specific Alien anyway ?

alienHeath = GetComponent<AlienHeath>();
you're looking for AlienHealth on an Alien object itself in Score ? when you destroy the gameobject the Score also goes in the

public Text score; this is pretty misleading naming. score should be scoreText while the score itself should be int variable

[timid salmon]

so that why

[rich adder]

thats why what?

how many Aliens are going to be there anyway

[timid salmon]

ill get a vedio for u

[rich adder]

okay so I guess that means more than 1.. so you definitely need a different way to do this.. You should not have Score script per enemy..on the enemy..

[timid salmon]

i made the aliens a prefab so they all have the script

[rich adder]

right.. they all need 1 reference to Score and when they die just call an AddScore() method on Score.cs

put custom value if its more than 1 AddScore(3) and so on

[timid salmon]

okay

[eternal needle]

There isn't gonna be a tutorial or free collection of scripts out there for every single feature you want in your game. Break down each feature into steps, and then figure out what youre struggling with.

[sacred sierra]

i know but at least a basic, as said all tuts i find are old and not rly usable for me cuz they use or reference stuff which dont exists anymore or is obsolete

[white girder]

You can do most of those with basic coding fundamentals. You can probably find a good tutorial by search up how to make a turn based rpg in c# instead of trying to search for unity tutorials

[cosmic dagger]

Use more descriptive searching, break down the system you want into smaller parts, and search for that, or use the tutorials and change the outdated part(s). I'm curious about which part(s) are obsolete . . .

[frigid sequoia]

Shouldn't the slider be giving me here a choice of assigning the method but with the value of the slider instead of a manually set one??

[rich adder]

try method with float see if it shows under Dynamic

[frigid sequoia]

Oh, so it only catches floats, even tho it's marked as whole numbers

Weird, but ok

[rich adder]

you can see the type right there

OnValueChanged (Single)

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/fundamentals/runtime-libraries/system-single

[rich adder]

yeah it doesnt change its type does some internal clamp i think

[frigid sequoia]

So, basically a float?

[rich adder]

yes

[cosmic dagger]

Marked as whole numbers indicates the value is clamped, that's all . . .

The actual value is a float . . .

[wanton pivot]

im trying to publish this vrc avatar and this error keeps popping up, I looked through the assets folder and there was nothing, it seemingly doesnt exist and stops me from trying to publish

[deep moss]

is it possible to attach separate parts of 3D objects in unity it triggers animation? Example i made a script of attaching parts for a robot. I just need to make it trigger a custom animation when all parts are attached. But my parts are mix and match basically variations of different parts can trigger the animation

[slender nymph]

sounds like a question for #🏃┃animation

[quick monolith]

Hey everyone, I'm trying to learn fundamental of game making. I was following this playlist to understand basics

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JcfNFoeuzUk&list=PLx7AKmQhxJFajrXez-0GJgDlKELabQQHT&index=10&ab_channel=KetraGames

In the end I figured out something

In the code he always creates bullet but never destroy the gameobject of bullet

I tried to destroy in this script but didnt work well

I was trying to get game object of bullet, I dunno how it works actually

[slender nymph]

you're destroying the prefab not the spawned bullets

[quick monolith]

yeah but how I access the spawned bullets

shouldn't I access prefab first in the code?

[slender nymph]

you only need to access the prefab when instantiating the bullet. the prefab has no connection to the instantiated objects. the Instantiate method returns a reference to the spawned bullet, but presumably you would want to handle destroying them from the bullet themselves. so you destroy the bullet gameobject from the bullet itself on collision or after some time

and if that OnTriggerEnter method is on the bullet object but it is never being called then go through this: https://unity.huh.how/physics-messages

[quick monolith]

that makes sense

yeah got u

So basically we getting enemy movement component if its trigger we destroying the object of zombie

I mean collision

between two object

did I understand correctly or

[slender nymph]

go through all of the information

[quick monolith]

she made it in the next video

She actually taking the camera checking the position off camera if camera.x < 0 || camera.x > camera_pixelwidth same for height and then destroying the object

I just wondered a thing in this code now.
If we destroying the gameObject in this code, so we actually destroying the object of Bullet then, right?

I think I figured out now

[celest jay]

Any c# number type good to use for idle incremental game? I want something that write 1,000,000 as 1m and so on. I don't want to write it myself

BigDouble is nice for big numbers (also comes with a built in property drawer), but it doesnt do alpha suffixes

[naive pawn]

those suffixes aren't really standardized beyond trillion (and even then casing isn't standard)
so there's not gonna be a built-in for that

[celest jay]

I mean some games just have made up system

[naive pawn]

exactly

[celest jay]

commonly starting those numbers they do a

[naive pawn]

they do the stringification themselves

or maybe there's a library for it

but it's not gonna built-in because it isn't a standard system

[celest jay]

ugh I dont really wanna write that, but whatever, I guess I have to

[eternal needle]

You dont actually need to store the large values, and you shouldn't. You just store let's say up to 4 digits, and every time it goes above a certain threshold you change to a new suffix.
This is probably one of the easiest systems you could create too. Its just a list of strings

999 no suffix, 1000 = 1k. 1000k = 1m. Onwards

[celest jay]

it's easy yea, but will still take time, but sure, I think I have to

[naive pawn]

hey, more experience in logic

practice the small things so you can manage the harder ones later

[eternal needle]

Unless you mean it takes time because you arent familiar with c#, I dont see what here could take that much time. Its really just a list of strings and checking if the current number is >= 1000

[naive pawn]

i mean i don't think that'd directly work

the games he mentioned usually have quite dynamic shifts in this, treating it as if it were a really big number with detail all the way down
buying something when your money is close to the cost doesn't bring you down to 0, and commonly a few decimals are shown eg 1.5k or 3.2m

so there is a bit more nuance, some system to design out for UX

[eternal needle]

All of that is still possible through the same idea. You dont need to store insanely large numbers, its just a computational waste when deep into the game, you have 130 trailing zeros on each number

Store 0 to 10000 then and suddenly you can still represent 1.5k

[naive pawn]

im not saying it's not viable with you idea, just that it requires more thought

it's not just figuring out how to do it, it's figuring out what to do in the first place - as in, what the requirements for the system are

how many digits should be kept? does that achieve the desired effect? etc

also of course you still need to be able to tick up if you add a small amount a lot of times

[eternal needle]

🤷‍♂️ the thought is quite simple. Probably easier than trying to create a system working around arbitrarily large numbers and having to fix performance issues down the line. I dont see how any of this affects the overall idea that you shouldn't be storing the extremely large numbers. Games dont store the large numbers

[naive pawn]

im not saying to store arbitrarily large numbers

my point is there's more nuance to the system, you can't just hand-wave all the details away 😆

[median hatch]

youre destroying the prefab

Destroy(gameObject) fixes it

[split plover]

Sorry i'm just a bit confused here, what does this mean my script doesn't derive from monobehaviour? It has the mono behvaiour at the top of the script so im confused

[clear juniper]

do you have any other scripts on that object?

[split plover]

Well if capsule collider counts then i guess yeah?

But other than that no

[clear juniper]

any child objects?

[split plover]

Nope

this is the only object i've put in it

[clear juniper]

can I see a screenshot of the inspector?

[split plover]

The only other thing i've changed is that i set is trigger to true so i don't forget later

Also for some reason the object is showing up blue on the screne but thats it

[clear juniper]

that is really strange 🤔 have you tried removing the script?

[split plover]

Still shows the same error

[clear juniper]

yeah it's not that script then 🙃 do you have any other scripts in your project?

[split plover]

Nope, that is literally the only one

Oh i just noticed something, does it change anything if it says the object is a .prefab?

[clear juniper]

have you tried restarting unity? 😂

[split plover]

I dont know why its saying its a .prefab

[split plover]

Just did and the object was just gone cause i forgot to save 💀

[clear juniper]

oops lol

[split plover]

but i made another

[clear juniper]

working now?

[split plover]

Probably i guess

im not getting any errors

[clear juniper]

sounds like it was just unity having a bad day 😬

[naive pawn]

@split plover did you have any compile errors

[split plover]

Is it normal for 3d objects i drag into an assets folder to not change positions

[split plover]

I don't think so

[naive pawn]

it sounds like something hadn't been refreshed to me

[naive pawn]

drag from where?

[split plover]

when i change the position and the object is selected it doesn't change positions

[naive pawn]

that's what prefabs are, gameobjects in .prefab files

[split plover]

just the character folder i made for it

[split plover]

Whats a prefab?

😭

[naive pawn]

because it's a prefab, not attached to anything in the world

[clear juniper]

a prefab is like a blueprint, it's not actually in the game it's an asset

[split plover]

oh

[clear juniper]

the one in the scene is an instance of the prefab

[naive pawn]

aight you should probably go through unity essentials
!learn 👇

[eternal falcon]

:teacher: Unity Learn ↗

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

[split plover]

well if its planning to be a parent object should i still have it as a prefab

[naive pawn]

very separate things

go learn what a prefab is first

[clear juniper]

prefabs are typically used for:

• objects you want to spawn during gameplay (e.g. enemies that spawn in)
• objects you need to reuse frequently (e.g. trees or rocks)

[split plover]

Okay but quick question should i use prefabs if i'm planning to use the object on different maps and stuff

[split plover]

yeah i want to spawn it during gameplay

[naive pawn]

go learn what prefabs are and it'll answer itself

[sour fulcrum]

@split plover have you played minecraft

[split plover]

well i dont wanna learn something i wont use but alright

[split plover]

no

[sour fulcrum]

(you will need to learn how to use prefabs)

[naive pawn]

unity essentials are pretty much required

they're essentials

[sour fulcrum]

you should play minecraft there's a lot of good comparisons using it 😛

[clear juniper]

prefabs are a very common part of unity development. Do the unity essentials course, it teaches you the stuff you'll need!

[naive pawn]

sure, skip over 2d and audio and publishing if you aren't doing that now

but you will still need the essentials for whatever it is you're doing

the 3d essentials mission goes over prefabs

go learn

[split plover]

Well i'm not really planning to release games

[naive pawn]

that's why i said to skip over them for now

[split plover]

just making a game i can play with friends

[sour fulcrum]

prefabs are a bread and butter of unity

youll be using them

[naive pawn]

...that still requires publishing

[split plover]

wdym

[naive pawn]

publishing is turning the project into something you can actually play

[split plover]

im just planning on sending the game files over off of like mediafire or something im not planning on putting it on steam or something

[split plover]

i think im confused

[naive pawn]

if you don't want to publish it publically, sure, but you still need to publish it so other people can play

[naive pawn]

publishing is how you get the game files

right now you have project files

[split plover]

I thought publishing was like, posting it on something like steam or epic games

[naive pawn]

those are some platforms you can publish on

[split plover]

ok

[naive pawn]

anyways that's all irrelevant for now - right now you're still in the process of making the game
you will need to go over essentials for the topics you're working on

[split plover]

im watching the essentials introduction right now

amm i able to fully skip the install unity tutorial

i feel like i should be able to but im not sure

[naive pawn]

just in general for stuff you already know, i'd recommend at least skimming just to make sure you aren't missing anything

[split plover]

alright

[split plover]

another stupid question but i was reading the unity docs for why the input system wouldn't work and when i try to use InputSystem.actions it says it doesn't exist in the context

it has using Unity.VisualScripting.InputSystem and using UnityEngine.InputSystem at the top so idk whats wrong

im just gonna use the old input system idk why it wont work

[north kiln]

What version of the package are you using?

[split plover]

The only one it showed in the package installer and the one that came installed

[north kiln]

Which is?

[split plover]

1.14 or something i think

i can't fully remember ill check

yeah 1.14.0

[naive pawn]

you most likely don't need Unity.VisualScripting.InputSystem. remove that.

[north kiln]

Should be fine then. The visual scripting namespace is irrelevant and should be removed

[naive pawn]

give more info please - what code are you trying to use, and what's the error you get?

[split plover]

c# and i said im getting an error that says it doesn't exist in the context

[naive pawn]

that doesn't give me any info at all lmao

[split plover]

Its literally all the info i have

i dont know why its not working

[north kiln]

It would be best if you posted both the code and the error as they are, not second hand descriptions

[split plover]

Okay

[naive pawn]

show the exact !code and exact error, not just your retelling

its not like im lying or anything

its exactly what it says

[north kiln]

Can you hover over InputSystem and show what it says

[split plover]

I am hovering over InputSystem

that is what it says

[north kiln]

And also send The surrounding code so it's clear what you're actually doing, not just the error in isolation

[hexed terrace]

isn't actions for the new input system? It won't show if you don't have the project set to use new input system in the project settings..?

[split plover]

I have it set to both cause im currently using the old one since the new one wont work for me

using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.InputSystem;

public class MovementScriptBaseCharacter : MonoBehaviour {
    public float movementspeed = 5f;
    public Vector3 dir;
    float hzInput;
    float vInput;
    CharacterController controller;
    private float gravity = -3f;
    private float velocity;
    [SerializeField] private float gravityMultiplier;
    public float velocityMultiplier;

    void Start() {

    }

    void Update() {
        CharacterMovement();
    }

    void CharacterMovement() {
        hzInput = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal");
        vInput = Input.GetAxis("Vertical");
        dir = transform.forward * vInput;
        dir = transform.right * hzInput;
        dir.y = velocity;
        controller.Move(dir * movementspeed * Time.deltaTime);
    }
    InputSystem.actions
}

thats the code

[naive pawn]

you're hovering over the error, hover over the class until it shows a window about what it is

[hexed terrace]

it's not inside a method

[split plover]

it has a bunch of stuff that i haven't put in the code yet

[north kiln]

If you hovered it it would give info about the class, not just the error

[split plover]

cause im still coding it

[naive pawn]

ok InputSystem.actions is outside statement blocks.

[split plover]

wdym statement blocks

[hexed terrace]

{}

[naive pawn]

it needs to be in a method/prop/constructor/init block

it can't be used in that context - the error says there's nothing matching InputSystem.actions that fits in that context, it'd have to be a type/namespace

[split plover]

Man what the fuck 😭

alright well

i guess it works now but

[naive pawn]

just how c# works - you can only have declarations and definitions directly in a type's body (eg a class, in this case)
statements have to be inside methods or similar

[burnt vapor]

C# isn't a functional language, you need to define a scope for things

A class, even static, and a method to call. Everything has a path here.

Otherwise ask Unity devs to support F# 😄

[oak mountain]

how hard would it be to make procedurally generated buildings with interiors, loot, furniture and set it to an area? I'm trying to make a urban area that has random buildings in the middle of the playing field, and I'll use a bunch of buildings together as a barrier and ambience

[frosty hound]

It would be easier to just make prefabbed layouts and randomly pick them rather than procedurally creating everything from scratch.

That said, most games fake the interior through the windows with a parallax texture. Its overkill to actually put real props inside something you can't move around in.

[mossy nimbus]

hi guys i just started not long ago and i want to ask why when i first initialise a value

public float speed = 20.0f;
public float xRange = 15f;

it saves the value into unity but when i change in vs ide it doesnt update unity

[grizzled crag]

oh you gotta change the value in unity

[wintry quarry]

Since those variables are public they are serialized and saved in your scene file

[grizzled crag]

this is basically just the initial values

[wintry quarry]

Once they're saved in the scene file they have to be changed in the scene

[grizzled crag]

from there forward it follows the values you set in the editor

[wintry quarry]

If you don't want this behavior don't make them public

[mossy nimbus]

oh

[grizzled crag]

plus, it's generally bad practice to set fields to public

[mossy nimbus]

so to allow changes to update from vs i have to make it private?

[grizzled crag]

[SerializeField] private float speed = 20.0f;

[wintry quarry]

Or set the values in Awake

[grizzled crag]

oh in the code itself

yeah just set it in awake

[grizzled crag]

but if you do want to expose the value to the editor, use this

[wintry quarry]

That won't change the behavior they're asking about though

Since that will also be serialized

[grizzled crag]

mhm! but just throwing it out there

[mossy nimbus]

awake as in the void Awake() method? if i initialise it in their can i access using other methods also

like Update()

[wintry quarry]

Why would initializing it there affect that?

[grizzled crag]

yes that method, if you initialize it in there, no other method can access it tho

if you want the update method to access it, you must set it as a global variable

[wintry quarry]

The fact that it's a field is why you can access it in all your methods

It's not a global variable

It's a member variable

[mossy nimbus]

wouldnt the scope change or smt like that, i have a bit of python background so i know a bit about that but im not sure in c#

[wintry quarry]

I'm talking about assigning a value

Never said to change where you declare it

[mossy nimbus]

ohh

[grizzled crag]

wouldn't the access be limited to the Awake method if you declare it in the awake method?

[wintry quarry]

You must still declare it outside

[grizzled crag]

this

[wintry quarry]

I never said to declare it there?

Just initialize

Initialize != Declare

[grizzled crag]

It's just he might put the entire code in the awake function

[mossy nimbus]

i understand now thanks a lot guys

[grizzled crag]

there's a nice 10 hour course on youtube for basic - intermediate btw @mossy nimbus

it's project based, too

after you're done with the course, you'd have created a pretty nice game

[mossy nimbus]

im following the guides on learn.unity.com but it seems like their player input system is the old one, i will be sure to look at that

thanks

[grizzled crag]

mm! This course teaches you both the old and new input system

and you'll learn code practices that's very essential

oh and it's free

[mossy nimbus]

its the one from CoffeeNCode?

[split plover]

Quick question, if the input system is so hard to use why do people say to use it over just keycodes

changing the inputs from keycodes to input system genuinly added nearly an extra 10 lines of code 😭 which is a lot when it was only 20-30 before

[harsh brook]

Hey, I need help with something, Ive been trying for hours now... im making a tower defense in 3D, the thing is, im making some code so you can upgrade the towers, the buttons work with building them, but ive tried a lot of different things and the function doesnt even react like im calling it, could someone hop on a call to help?

[wintry quarry]

It's only hard to use if you're a beginner or haven't used it before.

You can directly use the new system in a 1:1 way from the old if you understand it well enough

With exactly the same number of lines

[split plover]

Well

[wintry quarry]

But the benefit of the new system is that it's much more flexibile, supports runtime rebinding, and event based handling, et

[split plover]

i guess yeah its not that hard to use but it is still way harder than just keycodes

[split plover]

oh right

people have to be able to rebind stuff

ohhh

[polar acorn]

Because trying to make a control system that can receive input from any type of gamepad and has customizable controls is effectively imposible on the old input manager, but basically free in the input system

[split plover]

ok well if people want to rebind jump from spacebar then i'm not letting them anyways thats a crime

[wintry quarry]

It's not any harder if you want to use it the same way as GetKey

You can just do e.g. Keyboard.current[Key.A].IsPressed()

That's the same as GetKey

Not any harder to use

[split plover]

just to use it in an if statement i had to make an entire bool for if a button is down after trying to figure out what the fuck an action phase eis

[wintry quarry]

But you also lost all the benefits of the new system doing it this way

[split plover]

i tried using is pressed but it said it didn't exist

[polar acorn]

Also, using the Input System will sort of subtly encourage you to structuring your code better. Having functions that respond to a specific button instead of a monolithic update class with a cliff wall of if statements

[wintry quarry]

You don't have to make any extra variables to check for an action being pressed in an if statement.

The thing is you are using one specific workflow and the new system supports many workflows

[split plover]

well when i tried just putting if the jump input was in the if statement it straight up said i couldn't convert it to a bool or something

[wintry quarry]

You are still learning and not aware of how to use them all

[wintry quarry]

This is a limitation of you not understanding how to use it and how to use C#, not a limitation of the system itself.

[split plover]

but like, it literally said i couldn't itself

[wintry quarry]

The specific literal code you wrote was wrong, that doesn't mean what you intended to do isn't possible

It just means you don't know how to write it

[split plover]

how else would you write it other than if (playerInput.actions.FindAction("jump"); (used playerInput as a placeholder for the input map)

[wintry quarry]

if (playerInput.actions["Jump"].wasPerformedThisFrame)```

[split plover]

In all fairness i did put a . after it to check if anything like that was available and it refused to show me any auto finish options

[wintry quarry]

Er sorry it's WasPerformedThisFrame()

[split plover]

I guess the only reason i probably wont use this even though its more useful is that my game will have a lot of controls so bieng able to just set it to IsDown(playerInput.actions("Jump")) would probably be more efficient anyways

[solar arch]

I have a really weird bug where my vector3.zero and vector2.zero are both off screen to the left. Im wondering if this is to do with using a "scale with screen size" canvas but im genuinely not sure, if anyone could help that would be great.

This "8" should have been spawned at vector2.zero.

[spare mountain]

it's not spawning as a child of anything is it?

[keen dew]

UI elements should be positioned with anchoredPosition. Setting the transform position will have unexpected results

[solar arch]

I changed pinsParticleTransform to a RectTransform and used .anchoredPosition to Vector2.zero, and it was still in the same place

[solar arch]

I dont think so, when it spawns it spawns like this (if that is what youre meaning)

[spare mountain]

and is its position (0, 0) in the inspector?

[solar arch]

yes

[keen dew]

It needs to be in a canvas

[solar arch]

omg thank you very much youre a life saver

the jittering? where do you control the camera?

[boreal violet]

using UnityEngine;

public class CameraLook : MonoBehaviour
{
    [SerializeField]
    private Transform playerTransform;

    [SerializeField]
    [Range(0.1f, 10f)]
    private float followSmoothness = 5f;

    private Vector3 offset;

    private void Start()
    {
        offset = transform.position - playerTransform.position;
    }

    private void LateUpdate()
    {
        transform.position = Vector3.Lerp(
            transform.position,
            playerTransform.position + offset,
            followSmoothness * Time.deltaTime
        );
    }
}

I think it's basic

the publisher portal + docs has everything u could possibly need.. whats ur question?

oh right. wrong channel too btw.. ^ u can get answers there

[oak mountain]

can anyone help me out? I'm trying to make it so that while reloading, my gun wont fire like it was, however when trying to implement a simple boolean (isReloading), it just breaks everything, after reloading, it bricks the gun (the ammo and magazine capacity does not get updated and it wont let me fire, I tried toggling on and off the isReloading bool in the inspector but it's still bricked) btw im trying to make my game multiplayer and im using unity's netcode for that

[ivory bobcat]

Are there any console logs or errors?

[oak mountain]

nope, i tried setting up a debug log for when its either true or false, but after reloading none of them show up

[ivory bobcat]

Place a log in player weapon fire to see if the weapon is reloading.

[quick monolith]

the bullet was destroying when the enemy is dead somehow I showed the fixed

[oak mountain]

there is something im missing but im too blind for this 😭

[rocky canyon]

my first guess is sync issues

like if the server is handling the reload on the server.. but never updates the local clients view of the ammo.. the client maybe see's a stale state

ill look a bit deeper in a second tho 🍀

[ivory bobcat]

Make the logs print different useful data. As is, we're unable to tell if shooting or reloading is printing.

[rocky canyon]

^ yea, u need to log specific data.. from all the relevant methods

[oak mountain]

so reloading and firing?

[rocky canyon]

i like to log everything.. but its up to you.. the more information you and we have the better chance of finding a solution..

• log the input
• log the reload bool
• log the ammo value
• log when the reload starts
• log ammo and values after the reload finishes
• confirm boolean was toggled back to false

u could even add little tags [Client] [Server] [RPC] etc to see whose calling what at a simple glance..

[ivory bobcat]

Put a log in ReloadingOver also to see if it ever fires

But as is, it looks like you're still able to shoot after reloading. What's the actual problem?

[oak mountain]

after reloading, it shoots but wont let me reload afterwards and the ammo doesnt reset to 30 but a magazine gets wasted

[ivory bobcat]

Do you ever tell it to go back to 30? ```cs
[ServerRpc]
public void WeaponReloadServerRpc(ServerRpcParams rpcParams = default)
{
if (isReloading || currentMagazineCapacity <= 0 || currentAmmo >= maxAmmo)
return;

    isReloading = true;
    currentMagazineCapacity--;
    PlayReloadClientRpc();
}```

[oak mountain]

wont matter bc the gun wont shoot afterwards either way, before me trying to resolve this whole ordeal it was working perfectly (it went back to 30)

[ivory bobcat]

Right.. but first.. try setting the ammo back to 30 after reloading...

[coarse magnet]

i have this invisible prefab inside every box that places Xs and Os but i want to select a specific unit of the prefab, how do i do this?

because as you can see with a single click all the boxes fill

[ivory bobcat]

I'm assuming you would do so in cs void ReloadingOver() // Animation Event attempt { isReloading = false; }

[slender nymph]

show the relevant code (also it's prefab not prefap)

[coarse magnet]

public bool player1turn = true;
 public GameObject X;
 public GameObject O;
 void Update()
 {
     if (player1turn == true) 
     {
         if (Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0))
         {
             Instantiate(X, transform.position, Quaternion.identity);
             player1turn = false;
         }
     }
     else
     {
         if (Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0))
         {
             Instantiate(O, transform.position, Quaternion.identity);
             player1turn = true;
         }
     }
 }

[slender nymph]

you're currently not checking if you are clicking on a specific area of the grid, you are just checking if it is a specific turn then just instantiating the object at every position this object exists at. you should consider using something to determine where in the grid you are clicking. either by using some clickable object (like a UI button or an object that implements IPointerDownHandler) or use an actual grid (or tilemap) and convert the mouse's *current position) to a position in the grid

[ivory bobcat]

This happens because you haven't designed it appropriately. As is, you're spawning an x or o on click with every object regardless if any specific object was clicked.

[coarse magnet]

yes i know, but idk how to choose a specific square

[ivory bobcat]

You probably should not be using Update like how you are using it unless you want to go the raycast route

Best to do what was suggested #💻┃code-beginner message

[oak mountain]

if i handle it like this, it works perfeclty except that you're able to start firing a bit before the reload animation ends

and guess what, I dont want my gun's animation fucking hardcoded because that's just dumb

[ivory bobcat]

What happened to your previous reloading system? The animation trigger event.

[oak mountain]

i removed it, i tried first implementing that, didnt work (because animations are playing exclusively on client side, how is it going to send information to the server?)

then i tried the boolean route, same issue

something is holding this shit by a thread, and idk what that is

[ivory bobcat]

Just send a signal after the animation finishes to update the value on the server?

I think you're trying to do to much and not focusing enough on individual issues

    void ReloadingOver() // Animation Event attempt
    {
        isReloading = false;
        FinishedReloadingServerRpc();
    }```where that function would check if it isn't this player and update their values or whatever for the gun/player/etc. I'm not sure how others would differentiate who's reloading or why they'd need to know but I guess it might be important to avoid cheating etc

[oak mountain]

like this?

i'm lost

i've been at this way too long to the point im getting lost in my own code 😭

[rich adder]

#archived-networking

[ivory bobcat]

First off, does reloading for the individual player actually work? As in, does the event get called after the animation completes? (You should not be able to fire as well)

[split flower]

How do we get a random float between 0.0 and 1.0 exclusive with system.random, when I try random.nextSingle (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.random.nextsingle?view=net-9.0#system-random-nextsingle), it is not recognized by unity and random.nextDouble give me a double, I dont want to convert this number in float, since I need to do this very often

[ivory bobcat]

Why not use Unity Random that's specific for floats?

[rich adder]

also unity has Random.value already a 0-1 value

[split flower]

Yes but the range is inclusive, and I dont want that

[naive pawn]

what do you mean by "not recognized by unity"?

unity doesn't recognize anything. code compilation is the realm of c#

show what code you used and what error you got

[split flower]

I use visual studio with an help tool I guess, and random.nextSingle() get underlined in red

show the relevant code and error.

#💻┃code-beginner message

[rich adder]

but yeha boxfriend already answered. that function isnt in unitys .NET 4.x / standard 2.x

[split flower]

Ok, thanks so from what I understand if I want to get a float using system.random I should use (float)random.NextSingle()

[rich adder]

anyway if UnityEngine.Random.value is inclusive just omit the included values you don't want with Random.Range

[ivory bobcat]

Random.Range(0, 0.9999f) unless you're needing more precision

[split flower]

Since I am making procedural genration with seeds this wouldnt work since unity random seeds is shared all accrosed the project

[rich adder]

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Random.InitState.html ?

[naive pawn]

NextSingle doesn't exist, you can't use that
i'm suggesting (float)random.NextDouble()

[rich adder]

but yeah I guess this stays global it would be a pain to change it for each one..

[naive pawn]

if you want specific things to be deterministic and other things to be random but not affect the main deterministic randomization, this wouldn't really work, no?

[rich adder]

I suppose you probably better off making a new System.Random instance for each thing

[split flower]

Yeah, thanks you, that is what I was going to use, I wanted to know if there was any more straight forward solution. I will check later on if I have problem with performance but it shoudld be good thanks

[rich adder]

there is this that explains more you can do https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Random-state.html but I havent touched i t much so iidk lol

[slender nymph]

you'd want to maintain multiple Random states using the Random.state property which you can get/set as needed. just cache the current state before using it, change to the state you need, perform your operations, then reapply the previous state after

but just using individual instances of System.Random is likely going to be easier

[split flower]

Nice that answer it for me !

[vernal thorn]

i want too make an object that spawns on an random range but only on multiples of 0.5 i cant get the hang of it i always end up whit full numbers on some objects or weird numbers like 0.375

[ivory bobcat]

Show your implementation?

[naive pawn]

get a random integer and multiply by 0.5f or divide by 2f

[slender nymph]

there's also the Snapping.Snap method but just starting off with multiples of 0.5 instead of getting a random float and snapping it to the nearest 0.5 is better

[ivory bobcat]

Any whole number multiplied by 0.5f should yield some value divisible by 0.5

[vernal thorn]

oh ok thank you guys so much :D

[unreal wigeon]

[frail hawk]

people confuse this with an ai prompt sometimes

[vernal thorn]

I've made an random spanwer that just spawns 2 different obejcts randomly but i wand that they spawn more like a group like in this image, how could I Implement this?

 void SpawnObjects(GameObject Obj, int count)
 {
     for (int i = 0; i < count; i++)
     {
         int RandomX = Random.Range(-PlattenSeitenX / 2, PlattenSeitenX / 2);
         int RandomZ = Random.Range(-PlattenSeitenZ / 2, PlattenSeitenZ / 2);

         float xPos = 0.5f + RandomX;
         float zPos = 0.5f + RandomZ;

         Vector3 spawnPos = new Vector3(xPos, 0.5f, zPos);
         Quaternion rot = Quaternion.Euler(0, 0, 0);

         Instantiate(Obj, spawnPos, rot, transform);
     }
 }

Some documentation would also be nice i dont know the name of this thing D:

[unreal wigeon]

So the error is, that it doesnt go in the if statement, cause of the following code line cs transform.position.x == ghostNodeStart.transform.position.x + 0.15f || transform.position.x == ghostNodeStart.transform.position.x - 0.15f , but if I do the same if statement with just the y position, it works. Even without the +-0.15f. Any ideas?

[frail hawk]

just create a vector3 (as spawnpoint) that you change after every iteration

[burnt vapor]

Don't compare floats directly, use Mathf.Approximately. Your current code will never match because of inaccuracies.

[devout flume]

I upgraded to unity 6, and they seem to have changed how the camera is controlled within the scene. I do not have a qwerty layout, and now it is character-dependant. Any way to change that?

[naive pawn]

this seems like you want to check if it's within a range? what are you trying to do?

[naive pawn]

what is "an object" here?

a tree? a group of trees for a given tile?

[vernal thorn]

its an prefab from either a tree or rock

[naive pawn]

so you want multiple tree prefabs to generate together?

[vernal thorn]

ive used

SpawnObjects(Baum, MaxBaumAnzahl);
SpawnObjects(Stein, MaxSteineAnzahl);

[vernal thorn]

yeah

[naive pawn]

you would probably just pick a random position and then randomly go around that position

or do noise stuff

or have entire patches that you randomly pick to place

there are a ton of ways to do this

[unreal wigeon]

If the ghost should return to the home because it got eaten, it should ask, if the ghost has the same coordinates as the ghost spawning point. And if its true, it should return to the box

[vernal thorn]

haha ok im very new too 3d stuff :D

[naive pawn]

if you're making a clone of pacman, you should probably just have a grid for this, no? then you could check much more easily with vector2ints

[unreal wigeon]

Would be a lot to change at that point. The only problem is, that I dont have the time. Its a project for University and it should be finished within the next week

[naive pawn]

fair enough

you would still have to use Approximately or just use ranges though

seems to me that using a range would just be easier in this case

[azure beacon]

@jade cobalt
If you want you could try this script I used for a couple of my games. Just attach it to each layer. Note it only supports x axis movement and will loop automatically. If you don't want looping just make sure your image is as wide as the level, if you do want looping copy the image 3 times under a parent object and put the script on the parent object to make sure it loops correctly.

using UnityEngine;

public class ParallaxLayer : MonoBehaviour {
    public float parallaxEffect;

    private Transform camTransform;
    private float startPosX;
    private float width;

    private void Start() {
        camTransform = Camera.main.transform;
        startPosX = transform.position.x;
        width = GetComponent<SpriteRenderer>().bounds.size.x;
    }

    private void FixedUpdate() {
        float distance = camTransform.position.x * parallaxEffect;
        float movement = camTransform.position.x * (1 - parallaxEffect);

        transform.position = new Vector3(startPosX + distance, transform.position.y, transform.position.z);

        if (movement > startPosX + width) {
            startPosX += width;
        } else if (movement < startPosX - width) {
            startPosX -= width;
        }

    }
}

[naive pawn]

that should probably not be in FixedUpdate

(just please don't spoonfeed in general)

[azure beacon]

Now that you said it idk why it is. I used it a long time ago and didn't see any problems back then.

[azure beacon]

I understand, I hope they will read it and try to understand how it works so they learn from it.

[naive pawn]

theoretically it should happen every frame after the camera has updated, so i just put it in a list (dynamically updating upon load) to do callbacks on LateUpdate

[naive pawn]

spoonfeeding doesn't really promote that, which is exactly the reason why spoonfeeding is not recommended

[azure beacon]

@jade cobalt Please read it any try to understand it for yourself. Try putting a lot of comments in the code to explain to yourself what is happening, if you don't understand something google it or ask AI.
Doing this will help you learn to code better.

[naive pawn]

no please don't ask AI lmao

[azure beacon]

This script is simple enough for AI to understand i think...

[naive pawn]

AI doesn't understand shit lol

it's definitely small enough for AI to generate something convincing, but there's still no guarantees on it being correct lmao

Lol, buddy maybe you do help someone but the only thing I see is you being as cocky as possible

No offense

[polar acorn]

Only to people who deserve it

[median hatch]

are there any mods to mute him?

[thorn stone]

Lol?

[thorn stone]

Funny

[median hatch]

why dont you figure out the problem by yourself and then make a post on reddit on how the people on unity discord are super rude

[thorn stone]

I'll try that

[median hatch]

that might fix your ego

[thorn stone]

Ego?

The only one with ego top here is nav

[naive pawn]

get your ide configured. it makes it way easier for you to help yourself, and for us to help you

InteractUI.SetActive(true);
if i wanna check if this UI is active how can i do it without typing it like this : InteractUI.SetActive(true); isUIActive = true;

[thorn stone]

I was asking MANY times how do I do that but NAV was only sending !ide

[eternal falcon]

💡 IDE Configuration

If your IDE is not autocompleting code

Select one:

• Visual Studio (Installed via Unity Hub)
• Visual Studio (Installed manually)
• VS Code
• JetBrains Rider
• :question: Other/None

[thorn stone]

This was only response

[naive pawn]

yeah because we don't need to spam it

you only need the link once

[rich adder]

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

[polar acorn]

Did you... did you read the bot

[thorn stone]

Yes I did.

[naive pawn]

did you click one of the links?

[thorn stone]

Yup

[naive pawn]

and did you go through all the steps to get your ide actually configured

[thorn stone]

Yup and half way it just crashed

[polar acorn]

Either .activeSelf if you care if this object itself is disabled or not, or .activeInHierarchy if you care about whether it's active by any means, including if its parents are deactivated

[naive pawn]

cool, ask about that

[naive pawn]

what step were you on that caused a crash? and what exactly crashed, your ide or unity editor?

[thick sedge]

just to make sure, this is LMC right?

[naive pawn]

assuming you mean left mouse click, yes

[rich adder]

💨👟

[polar acorn]

It's the Left (or primary) mouse button

[thick sedge]

very informative thank you

[naive pawn]

unless the primary was set to the right button, i guess. i should look into how that actually works

[rich adder]

Mouse0 = left
Mouse1 = right
Mouse2 = MiddleButton

[naive pawn]

it's not mouse2?

[rich adder]

ops

[naive pawn]

ah lol

[rich adder]

slippy fingers on kb

btw all that hostility b4 from this comment lol

[naive pawn]

mouse3 and mouse4 are also back/forward for mice that have those buttons

[polar acorn]

If you swap it on the OS, it basically just treats the right button as "left click" and vice-versa

So, if you swapped it in your mouse settings, right button would be Mouse0

[thick sedge]

dumb question again
I want the function to only execute if the left mouse button is hold down, not pressed if that exists

[naive pawn]

Mouse0 aka M1 aka LMB aka Left click
Mouse1 aka M2 aka RMB aka Right click
Mouse2 aka M3 aka Middle click aka Scroll wheel
Mouse3 aka M4 aka Back
Mouse4 aka M5 aka Forward
Mouse5
Mouse6
WheelUp aka Mouse+ aka M+ aka Scroll up
WheelDown aka Mouse- aka M- aka Scroll down

i love words

[rich adder]

GetKey is held

KeyDown is the pressed once thing

[thick sedge]

This server is better than reddit fr

[rich adder]

hah readdit has some funny answers

[naive pawn]

getkeydown = the frame it's pressed
getkeyup = the frame it's released
getkey = is it currently being pressed?

i don't think there's a "has been held down for some duration" built-in, if that's what you're asking

[polar acorn]

What isn't these days?

[naive pawn]

i mean, it's a different format
that's more of a forum, this is a chatroom

[naive pawn]

chatgpt

[polar acorn]

Well, that's not really fair. Twitter still exists.

[naive pawn]

no it doesn't smh my head

[thick sedge]

someone called me lazy for asking about new mechanics ideas

[naive pawn]

i mean you'd probably just get ghosted here

[thick sedge]

did i?

[cosmic dagger]

Then don't be lazy . . . 😄

[naive pawn]

depends on how well your question is written, i suppose

[rich adder]

there is #archived-game-design which you can probably ask such questions

but not if its just "give me idea"

[naive pawn]

also yeah depends on the space

[thick sedge]

i'll check it out

[thick sedge]

r/Unity3D

[rich adder]

something like
"Im doing x y but feels rough and maybe new idea for z to compliment x or y "

[naive pawn]

probably not a great place to ask then

there are dedicated subreddits for game design

just like this server - your question wouldn't fit anywhere other than #archived-game-design or #1180170818983051344

[rich adder]

yeah that place is just very wrongly answered questions or people show casing their game as "I quit my job so I made this in x months"

some gems here n there

[thick sedge]

I said all indie horror games have the same mechanics like pick up the trash, fix the generator, etc,

[rich adder]

yaa.. dont forget keys! and doors to unlock

[thick sedge]

here

[naive pawn]

don't forget poorly-lit hallways

[thick sedge]

or ps2 graphics

[naive pawn]

huh? not really

[rich adder]

nahh Jumpscares...jumpscares out the ass..

people think "horror, ok I need jumpscares"

[thick sedge]

fr

[rich adder]

people forget Horror is more of a Mood

[thick sedge]

silent hill

[rich adder]

yeah anything that sets good mood of uneasiness without cheap tricks

think Exorcist (1973)

[thick sedge]

you telling me to go supernatural then huh

I am doing it

you hang out with friends then go to cemetery then you know what happens

[polar acorn]

Rather than creating something to "fix" a problem in another game, it's better to just come up with something you want. Be additive, not subtractive.

Rather than "Game minus problems"

[thick sedge]

poppy playtime rip offs?

[polar acorn]

I'm pretty sure that's exactly the kind of thing I said to avoid

[thick sedge]

dw

mathf.Lerp can be used for 3d too?

[rich adder]

mathf functions dont care if its 2/3d its just float functions

functions change a bit is physics function, eg Rigidbody vs Rigidbody2D

[thick sedge]

I figured it thank you

[naive pawn]

if you're using it for something actually 3d like a Vector3, you can use Vector3.Lerp, fyi

[rich adder]

you technically can use v3 for 2D it just omits the z to 0
Rigidbody2D rb ;
rb.position = Vector3.Lerp(pos1, pos2, t); valid

[polar acorn]

It's just a function that gets you a value some percent of the way between two numbers. You can use it for all kinds of things

[thick sedge]

That was actually what i was trying to do

mathf.lerp can be used inside new Vector3() right?
new Vector3(Mathf.Lerp(a, b, t), matf.Lerp(a, b, t), you get it)

[rich adder]

again its just a float

[polar acorn]

It's a function that returns a float

it can be used as a float

[rich adder]

you can use it anywhere you put floats

[polar acorn]

because it is one

[thick sedge]

oh

thanks again

for the 5th time actually

[naive pawn]

yeah, but you can just do Vector3.Lerp for that if you want to lerp every member

[thick sedge]

used this

much simpler than the other way

[sterile lintel]

hi guys

[naive pawn]

this isn't a social space, https://nohello.net

[thick sedge]

a bool to turn true after a moment? Like this:
Destroy(gameObject, 10f);

but instead of destroying you turn a bool to a value true/false

[wintry quarry]

Use a coroutine

[tiny bloom]

if a stop action on particle system is set to Destroy
it's causing an issue in multiplayer games where it's complaining why am I destroying an object from a client

how to fix this?

[wintry quarry]

Restructure things so the particle system object isn't owned by the other player

[tiny bloom]

it's not, im just telling the server to destroy an enemy then instantiate the deathEffect, which is a particle system
and it's done inside an RPC

public class EnemyController : NetworkBehaviour, IDamageable
{
    public GameObject DeathEffect;
    public void Damage(float amount)
    {
        DestroyRpc();
    }

    [Rpc(SendTo.Server)]
    private void DestroyRpc()
    {
        if (IsServer)
        {
            Destroy(gameObject);
            var instance = Instantiate(DeathEffect, transform.position, Quaternion.identity);
            instance.GetComponent<NetworkObject>().Spawn();

        }
    }
    
}

[wintry quarry]

Why would you spawn a particle system on the server?

That doesn't make much sense

Does it do something besides just being a visual?

[tiny bloom]

how are other players gonna see it?

[wintry quarry]

You send an RPC to them and they spawn it locally

[tiny bloom]

i think i understand u
but since it's a coop game, meaning the host will be a player's machine

shouldn't all communication be with server?
that's my conclusion based on what I read

[wintry quarry]

Or they do so on their own when they see the enemy die

[wintry quarry]

1. Coop has nothing to do with the network topology of using a Host setup
2. The fact that one of the players is a host doesn't really change anything here

[naive pawn]

"host will be a player's machine" is called p2p/peer to peer, nothing to do with the nature of the game

btdb2 is pvp and it's p2p

[tiny bloom]

ok so, if it's just visual
u spawn it on clients

if it's something that moves, like an enemy and needs to be synced across clients, it should be spawned on server
correct?

[wintry quarry]

If it needs syncing it should be a network object

Otherwise, it shouldn't

Basically all UI, visual effects, and cameras should not be network objects

[tiny bloom]

@wintry quarry
Thank you, it worked and i have better understanding rn of how things should be setup

[thick sedge]

I wanna thank each one that helped me make the draging system come true, and it doesn't have any glitches at all! (definitely the objects doesn't slip from the cursor then magically come to my hand again - or somehow for some reason i go upward and i cant go down because of an invisible platform under me)

what's game dev without glitches right?

[naive pawn]

what's dev without glitches

[keen owl]

You can also use OnDestroy and set the bool to true/false in there

[thick sedge]

i had rb component with a character controller in my player gameobject

removed rb and it works good

[rich adder]

Yeah those are two physics objects but don't mix

[thick sedge]

yeah then ontriggerenter doesn't work...

thats a problem for tmrrw

gn

[rich adder]

It does

character controller is still a physics controller so OnTrigger works fine. The OnCollision doesn't but has its own function

[thick sedge]

if the collider has a rb, yes. if both doesn't have 1 rb, it doesnt

[rich adder]

Trust

I've used CC for many years never did i need a rb to make trigger function work

[thick sedge]

one is without a rb the other is with a rb

i literally has to sacrifice one mechanic; Draging/picking

[rich adder]

You'd have to show the complete set up

[thick sedge]

or there is something in c# idk about

` public void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other)
{
WeCollide = other;
if (other.gameObject.layer == 8)
{
Name = other.name;
InteractUI.SetActive(true);
isUIActive = true;

    }
    if (other.gameObject.layer == 9)
    {
        DragUI.SetActive(true);
        rb = other.gameObject.GetComponent<Rigidbody>();
    }
}`

[polar acorn]

Is the CC moving into the ball or is the ball moving into the CC? Was this interaction triggered by .Move or by something's transform getting updated?

[thick sedge]

imagine the ball an apple, an item you need to collect in order to do something

the item doesn't move no

[polar acorn]

Cool. Now Is the CC moving into the ball or is the ball moving into the CC? Was this interaction triggered by .Move or by something's transform getting updated?

So, the CC is moving into it by .Move?

Specifically, changing transform.position or other transform manipulations will not call OnTrigger methods

[thick sedge]

I am moving the character/player with WASD to the item to collect it

[polar acorn]

WASD does not move anything

WASD is input

[thick sedge]

other than that I honestly don't know what y r saying

[polar acorn]

Movement, is movement

How are you moving the object

[rich adder]

In the code

What function do you use

[thick sedge]

there is a capsule that gets moved by WASD input, I move the capsule in First person to the item (which is fixed) then collect it using trigger from a capsule collider

[polar acorn]

Pressing a key does not make an object move.
Somewhere in code, you are reading that input then moving the object because of it. How are you doing that movement

[rich adder]

Are you actually using unitys character controller , wdym a capsule

[thick sedge]

honestly, the player movement script is a Ctrl + c Ctrl + v

[polar acorn]

So look at it, and check

[thick sedge]

so I don't even know

[rich adder]

screenshot components on your player

[thick sedge]

`moveDirection = horizontalMove * currentSpeed;
moveDirection.y = verticalVelocity;

    characterController.Move(moveDirection * Time.deltaTime);`

[polar acorn]

Okay, there we go

So it's using .Move properly

[thick sedge]

ig

[polar acorn]

Can you show the inspectors of both the player and the thing with the trigger on it

[thick sedge]

interactable

[thick sedge]

so what do that have to do with anything...

[polar acorn]

It's not a trigger

[thick sedge]

there will be alot of items

[polar acorn]

Okay?

[rich adder]

Do you understand the purpose of isTrigger bool?

[thick sedge]

i will not be writing all those scripts for all of them

or am i missing something?

[thick sedge]

yeah

ig

[rich adder]

Are you sure because now I'm doubting how this thing was even working with RB

[polar acorn]

And what does that have to do with anything

[rich adder]

You must been using OnCollisionEnter or sum

[thick sedge]

here is the thing that gets triggered with other items

some kind raycast

[polar acorn]

It's not a trigger.

Why are you expecting it to run OnTriggerEnter

[thick sedge]

but it isnt

[polar acorn]

this is a trigger. this object would be detected by OnTriggerEnter

[thick sedge]

yeah

OH

I NEED TO ADD RB TO THIS INSTEAD OF PLAYER

[rich adder]

No

[polar acorn]

There should be no rigidbodies involved

[rich adder]

Waste of resources

[thick sedge]

nvm

glitches still happen

[rich adder]

Make the item you wanna pickup have an actual trigger collider

Put the pickup script where the player character controller is

If your item to pickup needs a collider to be collided with then also add a regular collider

[thick sedge]

the sight is a child not a parent tho

[thick sedge]

that's it?

[polar acorn]

That does not change my assertion

There should be no rigidbodies

OnTriggerEnter runs on both objects when a character controller intersects with a trigger collider

[thick sedge]

i got 2 seperate scripts that do the pick up thingy, i put the one with OnTrigger or both?

[polar acorn]

CharacterController will call OnTriggerEnter on itself and the trigger object when it touches a trigger collider

Whatever you want to happen, you would put it on one of those objects

[rich adder]

wait what exactly is on Sight, the object ?

[thick sedge]

@rich adder

[rich adder]

Oh....that's why it needed a rb..

You're detecting triggers using that trigger ?

[thick sedge]

rb for dragable objects

not for interactables

[rich adder]

Idk what rb for draggable objects mean

[thick sedge]

its a multi task script so...

[thick sedge]

rb of that thing I am draging

for physics

matter of fact if i sent you my full script u won't understand none

[rich adder]

I usually use casts so you'd have to explain what is even going on... If you are using sight to detect stuff for whatever reason then yes you'd need a rb as I don't think CC counts children collider for OnTrigg

You'd have to lock rotation and position on the RB though

It's messy but it works ig.. look into casts or even overlaps for the future tho

[thick sedge]

I didn't know about casting rays, and no glitches just happen or the script doesn't work at all, it was just a project to experiment new things so Its not that important

Thanks @rich adder @polar acorn @naive pawn

[unique quartz]

I have this error coming up and I don't know how to fix it, I copy pasted it from a tutorial as it said. I am also missing the "interaction_Info_UI" component in my inspector (The images provided is of the tutorial's inspector and my code). I am still a newbie so I am unsure what I have stuffed up for this error to happen, cheers!

[polar acorn]

I believe yesterday when you asked this I asked what InteracableObject was and you never replied

[unique quartz]

sorry I had gone to sleep, I've just now logged on for the day

[unique quartz]

I don't really know I just copy pasted the code like the tutorial said

[rocky canyon]

the image on the left is only saying there is no InteractableObject.cs

perhaps theres more to the tutorial or u missed something?

[polar acorn]

So what component are you trying to get

[unique quartz]

the interaction UI bit in the image i provided

It's not there on my game, only the script thing

[rich adder]

looks like it hasn't compiled yet

[polar acorn]

You cannot assign anything in the inspector until you fix your compile errors

Which brings us back to the question: what is InteractableObject?

[unique quartz]

i dont know how to

thats what im asking

[polar acorn]

What component are you trying to get on that line

What is InteractableObject

[unique quartz]

i dont know i just copied it from the tutorial

if i did i would answer

[rich adder]

so you missed a step

[rocky canyon]

then u missed something.. or he wrote the scripts out of order

[polar acorn]

So check the tutorial

You cannot solve the error until you actually have an answer for "What component are you trying to get"

You cannot get a component that doesn't exist

You're trying to get one named InteractableObject but it appears to not exist

So if that doesn't exist, what do you want

[unique quartz]

i want it to exist

[polar acorn]

Then you'll need to create it

[unique quartz]

how do i create it

it wasnt in the tutorial

i rewatched it

[polar acorn]

The same way you've created any file

[polar acorn]

Then it's probably a bad tutorial

Link it

[rocky canyon]

or it is in there

[rich adder]

can you send link

[rocky canyon]

get ur counter ready

[unique quartz]

haha work your magic

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_GzSfnJNNI4&list=PLtLToKUhgzwnk4U2eQYridNnObc2gqWo-&index=3

its after we make the text

around 7:30 or something

[rich adder]

gottem

[unique quartz]

what does that mean

[rich adder]

it means you missed it but its there

[rocky canyon]

thats where he's creating the script...

[unique quartz]

im not up to there in the tutorial yet

[rocky canyon]

then he created an empty version earlier in the script..

or he makes it later

[unique quartz]

ok thank you so much i appreciate it!

[polar acorn]

Or in a previous part. This is part 3 and they're all an hour long

[rocky canyon]

facts

[unique quartz]

yes i've watched them all

[polar acorn]

I'll have to save The Counter™️ for later I'm on mobile data and I'm not loading 3 hours of YouTube on it to scrub through

[rich adder]

[rocky canyon]

ofc..

they need "community notes" on youtube 😉

lol

[polar acorn]

They did for a while but then they got rid of it

[twin pivot]

wouldnt the mouseX and mouseY values be inaccurate?

[polar acorn]

Hence the sad pepe

[rocky canyon]

input class just voodoo to most ppl

[polar acorn]

DeltaTime for mouse movement makes the sad frog sad

[rocky canyon]

anyway.. good luck kickflip peanut butter 🍀

[rich adder]

mouse input already returns the "delta" movement since last frame so already frame independent

[rocky canyon]

what bout delta?

b/c <- ya kno. the delta.. ill see myself out

[polar acorn]

I don't get it

[rocky canyon]

when they finally deprecate the old system for good we'll never have this problem, i'll learn it by then.. lol

[polar acorn]

Oh, wait, the username delta

[rocky canyon]

ya, im lame it wasnt even funny

[polar acorn]

I just read that as a tent

[rocky canyon]

ohh snap!

thats even better lol

has anyone been using that AI tooling from unity.. or is that just for art stuff?

[rich adder]

the one in Unity 6.2 ?

[rocky canyon]

ya, built in in the toolbars

ah, nvm i bet thats editor only stuff

hence being in the editor 🤦‍♂️

[rich adder]

oh thats gonna be a paid sub anywaay no ?

[rocky canyon]

thats what ive heard

i was just curious how its changed anyones workflows.

[rich adder]

I hope that crap is just a seperate package we can remove, I'd like not to have ai infested app

[rocky canyon]

💯 it'll be paywalled

[twin pivot]

quick question, can I put methods in my SOs?

[rich adder]

[livid anchor]

Hello folks, I'm starting to learn unity dev by myself, and I'm trying to create a simple game (flappy bird).
I had a little question about the looping background, what's the best practice for that kind of things ? I found several solutions, some using transform, some using quads... But might as well start learning the good way to do it right ?

[rich adder]

wdym " some using transform, some using quads." ? those are different things.

transform stores the position, rotation and scale.. quad is just a shape

[livid anchor]

I'm just starting, I don't know what is a quad really. i'm just wondering what is the best practice in this case

[burnt vapor]

Simple way is to initially spawn a row of quads that contain a texture, and gradually spawn mode after that when the last quad's position reaches a certain point while scrolling.

Same the other way around, destroy quads that got to the end

A performance improvement would be moving quads that reached the end back to the start and reuse these.

(btw Flappy bird originally doesn't even have a moving background, so it's hard to say what you want to actually achieve here)

[sour fulcrum]

the real best practice is whatever you find easier to do faster

[onyx geyser]

what's it mean when it says CharacterController is a type but used as a variable?

or like a variable

i'm following a tutorial because appearently there's nothing for the newest update, and despite turning on both new and old formats, i'm getting errors in places others aren't

it's made learning this program a bit difficult since nothing works right

even here, it's saying characterController does'nt contain the term move, i'm not sure if this is something i have to set up myself, but it seems fine in the tutorial

which, most of the tutorials have been exactly like this

[clear juniper]

what type is characterController?

can we see your whole script?

you can use something like https://paste.myst.rs to

[clear juniper]

right ok

so the issue is that you're using your class name there instead of a variable

[onyx geyser]

guh?

might need to explain what a class name is to me

[clear juniper]

okay so up at the top you've got public class

that's the class name - that's the blueprint essentially. Think of it like "human" or "apple", it's the type of thing

[onyx geyser]

pff

i feel stupid

still

[clear juniper]

this line here is getting your CharacterController from the object

it's putting it into a new variable of type CharacterController called CharacterController

however, that new variable only exists inside the curly braces

it doesn't exist where you're trying to move it

[onyx geyser]

that was the recommended fix by unity itself

i figured i'd go along with it until someone answered

[clear juniper]

so you want to have CharacterController CharacterController; outside the start method, next to all your public variables

then CharacterController = GetComponent<CharacterController>(); in Start

then CharacterController.Move( in Update

[sour fulcrum]

Unity doesn't have recomended fixes. visual studio can offer suggestions based on built in assessment of your code or sometimes just made up bullshit from ai related predictions

[onyx geyser]

ohh

ok

so don't trust it

[sour fulcrum]

consider it, don't assume it

[eternal needle]

You also shouldn't name the variable the exact same as the Type. Usually you would use camelCase here so
characterController

[clear juniper]

yeah I wasn't going to comment on that because it's an extra thing 😂 get it working is the priority lmao

[eternal needle]

And now I also see the name of their class

[onyx geyser]

i feel like i'm understanding about half of this

at best

[clear juniper]

this is the fix!

do this first then we can help you understand the rest 🙂

[onyx geyser]

so where all the floats are?

[eternal needle]

You should 1000% drop what youre doing and go do some c# basics then. You shouldn't be struggling with both c# syntax and trying to learn a game engine

[clear juniper]

yeah that's right

[eternal needle]

There are pins in the channel for learning c#

[onyx geyser]

isn't C# and unity kind of different though?

[clear juniper]

eh, getting things working is typically fun, and it's usually easier to learn when you've written something and are getting help about that thing

you understand more

[clear juniper]

the C# fundamentals will help

[eternal needle]

C# is c#. Unity uses c#

[clear juniper]

unity has a layer on top of it, but it's all still C#!

[onyx geyser]

figured maybe it'd be better to learn from just tossing myself into the fire, i get so bored trying to learn just fundementals

alright, CharacterController CharacterController; is in the start area

[clear juniper]

yeah that's a reasonable approach tbh

[onyx geyser]

why is it so different from the tutorial?

every tutorial i've found something was completely different

[eternal needle]

Its fun to build a rocket ship too. Doesn't mean people should skip the fundamentals because something more advanced is fun

[clear juniper]

I don't know what tutorial you're following - but typically there is no one way to do things

[onyx geyser]

it's a first person camera

[onyx geyser]

i think building the rocket ship is fun if it's a small rocket ship and you slowly build upon the learned ideas from that and recreate your own fundementals.
i've always struggled with just reading to gather fundamental knowledge, it's so boring i can't stand it, makes the whole process such a slog.

Character movement is entirely unique to your game. There will almost never be a tutorial that entirely fits what you need in your game

[sour fulcrum]

cant dive into a language you don't understand

sometimes you do have to get through the boring stuff

[eternal needle]

A small rocket ship is a rocket ship. If you cant do the basics, its blowing up either way.

[onyx geyser]

y'all are not getting me, but that's ok

[sour fulcrum]

we are

i get why you jumped into it

its not working

[onyx geyser]

i said the tutorials weren't working, because i've had to type things a lot differently, they changed a lot of the terms, so some of it doesn't work the same way, which makes learning the tutorials hard

[eternal needle]

Ive gotten the point from the first few hundred people in here that were in the same spot you were.
You cannot brute force trying to understand something way more advanced than what you know.

[onyx geyser]

i'm an artist, i draw, i skipped doing fundementals to just draw what i wanted, even if it looked god awful. 6 years later my art is pretty damn decent and i had fun, there are multiple ways to approach a project, you don't need to tackle fundementals EVERY time.

[eternal needle]

We are giving you realistic advice. If you wish to struggle through c# and unity at the same time, we have no power over that. Just know you will burn out much quicker when you struggle at literally every step. We've seen this many times by now

[sour fulcrum]

you dont have to every time, you do have to for this

[onyx geyser]

then why's the advice i've received from others in the field to just 'go for it'

[sour fulcrum]

i am not others

¯_(ツ)_/¯

art does not have explicit rules, programming does

[eternal needle]

🤷‍♂️ who are these others. They could've never touched unity for all I know

[onyx geyser]

you're so entirely wrong on that

[sour fulcrum]

you misunderstand what i mean by explicit rules

[onyx geyser]

alright, i'm done with this conversation, i don't wanna hear another word on fundementals.

public class characherController : MonoBehaviour

this bit is telling Unity that you're making something that can be attached to a gameobject (that's what : MonoBehaviour does) , and its name is characherController. Typically when we're naming classes, you want to start it with a capital letter - so in this canse it would be CharacterController - however, CharacterController is used by Unity so it might be better to call it something like PlayerController. You'll also have to rename the file

---

the section with the public floats (and now your CharacterController) is a list of all of the "properties" of your class. An apple has a size and a weight, for example - those would be floats. It also has a core, which isn't a simple number. Your code can "see" these anywhere else in the class

---

void Start ()

this is a Unity specific thing, it runs when the object is first loaded. You're using this to get the character controller that is attached to the same object - GetComponent<CharacterController>()

---

void Update()

another unity specific thing, this is called every frame.

---

This is just a very brief overview, but it's the sort of thing a C# fundamentals course would teach you!

[sour fulcrum]

your drawing cannot fail to compile

[onyx geyser]

you're not getting it, that's still ok, you'll understand at some point maybe, because while art can't 'compile', it can look like utter dogshit, and no one will like it, and you'll have to keep going and repeating it until you manage to figure out how to fix it.

[sour fulcrum]

yes but thats my point

looking shit is not the same as not looking at all

your code does not work

thats not bad thats nothing

[onyx geyser]

if there is an error, you can look it up, use a tutorial, ask for help

[sour fulcrum]

we are suggesting you use a tutorial

[eternal needle]

At this point they've made it clear they just dont want to listen to the advice. Better to just let them learn the hard way.

[sour fulcrum]

the most relevant tutorial is the fundementals

[onyx geyser]

now, i don't want to hear another word on it, because this has been a pretty damn forceful

thank you.

[sour fulcrum]

that's fine, but it is worth mentioning servers like this and others will end up telling you the same advice if your not interested in learning the fundementals and still want help

[eternal needle]

Yea you really are going to get a lot of the same talks from many different people. Especially if youre clearly struggling with c# and trying to implement anything more complex

[onyx geyser]

dawg i said i was done hearing about it

i will go learn the fundementals when i want to, i don't have to do it right away, let me struggle, i like to struggle.

[sour fulcrum]

ok

maybe just dont ask for help until then

[eternal needle]

Then dont read our messages if you dont want. Neither of us pinged you on these last replies 🤷‍♂️

[sour fulcrum]

if you dont know spanish and wanna write a book in spanish anyone willing to help is going to tell you to learn spanish

[onyx geyser]

do i need to go grab an admin or something? i've told you both repeatably to stop.

[sour fulcrum]

(you can choose whats on your screen)

[onyx geyser]

when it's flooding the conversation when someone IS genuinely trying to help, then it's a bit annoying, yes i can ignore it, but when i have two people telling me to go do something i already know i should go do but don't want to do yet, it get's pretty repetitive. and honestly burns me out far more than any 'struggling'

[sour fulcrum]

(the other person also told you to learn the fundementals)

[onyx geyser]

thank you for describing a few of these things to me! i think i'm gonna mess around and see what works for a bit longer then.

[onyx geyser]

yes but they also told me what a certain thing meant and why it's important to choose a distinct name

all y'all have done was anything anyone else can do.

i'm far more appreciative of dom because he actually told me something that related to my question instead of saying "oh bro just go learn fundamentals"

[eternal needle]

If you were so adamant about dropping the topic, then maybe stop replying about it also. Just incase you didnt see, one of the first things I also said was advice about naming convention there
#💻┃code-beginner message

[onyx geyser]

yes, thank for that, unfortuntely it was overshadowed by that blank profile and i got caught up.
