no, i've build my game then i got webGL file like this

digital parcel
#

yeah

wintry quarry
#

if you want an exe file you need to make a Windows build

digital parcel
#

ahh so i change to windows build

#

then i'll get .exe directly after i build it?

wintry quarry
#

You'll get a build for windows, of which the .exe file is a part, yes.

digital parcel
#

ahh i see

wintry quarry
#

You need the whole build for it to work, not just the exe

digital parcel

thanks bro 👍

okay! so I implemented what you suggested and the code works perfectly, thank you!

if you have time though, i'm trying to understand why my code caused that behaviour though so I have a better grasp on events. whenever the second GameManager woke up, it would subscribe, then delete itself without unsubscribing. I understand that the next time the main menu was set active, that event set off two listeners, one that shouldn't have been there; but why did the active, unproblematic subscriber not respond by deleting itself?

if this is too technical for me to get at this stage that's fine. I'm okay to take a "it just does" answer for now because everything works and I have no problems anymore.

chilly wolf
#

anyone?

wintry quarry
#

but why did the active, unproblematic subscriber not respond by deleting itself
I don't know if it did or didn't - but you also didn't have unsubscribing happening when the GameManagers destroy themselves, so even if they DID destroy themselves, they were still subscribed to the event.

Despite building previously without issue, Unity has decided that it will only allow me to have ONE global light in the entire project on each layer, because THEORETICALLY I might load two at the same time. Based on my research it seems like my only real options are:

  • Have a GlobalLight in my loadingscreen or its own scene that gets loaded alongside that I DontDestroyOnLoad and keep around, but then I have to always load that scene first even when testing in editor.
  • Have a LightManager that's in every scene that spawns the light on Awake (what I picked for now)

However, both of these options mean I don't get a global light in my scene in edit mode and it makes the scene look like this...

There's GOT to be a better way, someone please tell me that's true

i have this dont destroy onload singleton:

public class PersistentSingleton<T> : MonoBehaviour where T : MonoBehaviour
{
    public static T Instance { get => instance; private set => instance = value; }

    private static T instance;

    
    protected virtual void Awake()
    {
        if (Instance == null)
        {
            Instance = this as T;
            DontDestroyOnLoad(this);
        }
        else
        {
            Destroy(gameObject);
        }
    }
}

and i use like this:

    protected override void Awake()
    {
        base.Awake(); ...

whenever i enter play mode it throw this error and i dont understand it:
Assertion failed on expression: 'm_GameObjects.find(gameObject.GetInstanceID()) == m_GameObjects.end()'
UnityEngine.Object:DontDestroyOnLoad (UnityEngine.Object)

rugged beacon
#

it said at line 43, which is the dontdestroyonload line

#

nvm i duplicate the object and delete the original and it worked

teal viper
#

Do you have assembly reload or scene reload disabled perhaps?

rugged beacon
#

no

eternal needle
rugged beacon
#

yea searching on this thread

image.png
#

its the object visiblity

#

the eye icon thing

#

cant toggle it after the error and i have to duplicate the gameobject

teal viper
#

I don't think that's the same case as what you had.

rugged beacon
#

im not sure but it worked yippe

#

oh yea i see the error message is different
ngl if i spot this sooner i would have skipped this thread

Hey dudes, is odin inspector compatible with unity 6? and can you say from which version?

frosty hound
#

It works with Unity 6, yes

rancid tinsel
#

why is this considered same scope? the local variable should be inaccessible in the other case no?

image.png
#

adding brackets fixes it apparently, weird

image.png
grand snow
#

the brackets create a new scope, without the switch is all the same scope

#

remember that the cases can execute others if you forget to break/return

frail hawk
#

is there any reason you are declaring the ray in every case statement

rancid tinsel
#

but I guess it makes sense

slender nymph
#

the twoD one doesn't even need a raycast, an OverlapPoint would be sufficient

grand snow
zealous ridge
#

Could someone help me with one thing

rich ice
#

but yes, we can help with any code related questions

zealous ridge
#

Well ok then in unity when I double click on my code thingis they don't open in the right place and I have to open them a different slower way

#

How to fix?

slender nymph
#

configure your !ide 👇

eternal falconBOT
zealous ridge
#

That's not the problem

slender nymph
#

except performing those steps will make unity open your code files with the correct program

#

if that is not what you are struggling with then you need to provide more details

Hey, I started the "create with code" unity course yesterday, but the videos don't seem to be working today. Is it coming from my end or is there currently an issue?

rich ice

Hey i have a code but when i try my script there is a error code that comes up, i have wrote it right idk what to do, Can any1 DM me?

slender nymph
#

You are unlikely to get anyone willing to help you privately. Post your !code and the error and someone can help you

eternal falconBOT
quaint carbon
#

so this is my code and i get error when i try use it on my *player hierarchyhttps://paste.mod.gg/quthgtmcjmcp/0

Check your console for errors

quaint carbon
#

yeah idk

teal viper
#

Scroll up and see if there are any

quaint carbon
#

just yellow

#

so i try save the code into MVS, and when i start it up again its the *original code again, even tho i changed it and saved

hi, i have a question about basic C#, not exactly related to unity itself. is it still ok to ask?

slender nymph
#

if it's regarding a non-unity project then best to ask in the c# server, otherwise it should be fine to ask here

eternal falconBOT
limpid cloak
#

damn i didn't know there was a whole ass c# discord. no it was just a question about out parameters and custom methods because i'm really struggling with those.

wicked bloom
#

Is there any way to disable optimization of a method in C#? Eg. Prevent the compiler from optimizing away local variables (for debugging)

grand snow
#

if debug support is enabled in editor it should already be fine

#

Though sometimes issues with scope when debugging will cause some variables to not be viewable

wicked bloom
#

Will try, thank you

i wanna make some fall damage for a 2d platformer game im making, im thinking of multiplying my rigid body's linear velocity y by delta time that they're airborne, storing that in a displacement variable and then subtracting my player's hp by the displacement variable multiplied by some constant but that seems like a bad idea

#

is there any other easier way

silver fern
#

you could just take the y position difference

sharp mirage
#

im hella new so mb

silver fern
sharp mirage
silver fern
#

ok transform.position is a Vector3 with the x, y and z coordinates

#

you can save the y coordinate when you start falling and compare it with the y coordinate when you hit the ground

#

or subtract rather, to get the falling distance

sharp mirage
#

wont the y coordinate when i hit the ground be the same

#

wait

eternal needle
sharp mirage
#

hold on

silver fern
#

personally I wouldn't use a rigidbody because the unity built in physics dont feel that great on moving objects

#

but it will work

sharp mirage
#

alright

#

hb

#

i could do

eternal needle
#

using a rigidbody is also completely fine

sharp mirage
#

if rb linear velocity y < 0 then i store the new transform position?

rich adder
#

you have to track it from Ungrounded to when grounded again

sharp mirage
#

yep

silver fern
sharp mirage
#

but im just thinking ungrounded doesnt necessarily mean im falling

eternal needle
sharp mirage
eternal needle
#

why?

sharp mirage
#

well my thought process was just the whole yk

#

speed = distance/time

rich adder
sharp mirage
#

so distance should be speed * time

sharp mirage
eternal needle
#

use that however you like in your equation to determine damage

#

but you dont need this to be multiplied by deltaTime because its not a frame rate dependant thing

sharp mirage
eternal needle
rich adder
#

FixedUpdate ()
myYvel = rb.linearVelocity.y
if(grounded && wasFalling) CheckFallDamage(myYvel)

sharp mirage
#

what's fixed update

rich adder
#

unlike Update that runs everyframe, it runs every physics tick

sharp mirage
rich adder
#

more important the movement of body itself should go in FixedUpdate if using .velocity / addforce to move

sharp mirage
#

ok so lemme get this straight

#

Rather than tryna record distance u guys are saying I should find the last velocity instead

#

Before hitting the ground

rich adder
#

tracking the velocity will be more straightforward and less likely to cause false result than position based

sharp mirage
#

Should I write a separate function for was falling changing the Boolean state

#

Depending on if the magnitude of velocity is negative

rich adder
#

i mean with most of everything you want to be writing separate functions, keeps things neat

wintry quarry
rich adder
#

dannng how I just learned these today sadok

sharp mirage
eternal needle
#

I was thinking of suggesting using the collision, but it could also be harder depending if they have other fast moving rigidbodies that can hit the player

trying to create a tilemap chunk generator for a 2d roguelike game similar to vampire survivors

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QN8dm0RD3mY&list=PLgXA5L5ma2Bveih0btJV58REE2mzfQLOQ&index=3

followed this tutorial, found that FindObjectOfType was deprecated so i made the switch to FindFirstObjectByType

The game seems to only generate about 12 chunks when the chunk generator in the tutorial worked for them (I want it to generate infinitely)

here's my MapController and ChunkTrigger scripts

I'm trying to switch to the Main menu scene when I press a button, but it displays this error when I click the button:

UnityEngine.SceneManagement.SceneManager:LoadScene (string)
PauseMenu:MenuButton () (at Assets/Scripts/UI/PauseMenu.cs:14)
UnityEngine.EventSystems.EventSystem:Update ()```
I'm doing this in my script that handles the pause menu:
```csharp
public void MenuButton()
{
    SceneManager.LoadScene(SceneManager.GetSceneByName("MainMenu").name);
}```
I have the scene set up correctly inside the build settings

how i can make a raycast attack? i tried to do one, but it didnt worked

foggy yoke
acoustic belfry
# 
   {
       rifle_amount--;
       Vector3 mouseposition = Camera.main.ScreenToWorldPoint(Input.mousePosition);
       mouseposition.z = 0;
       Vector3 shootDirection = (mouseposition - transform.position).normalized;

       RaycastHit2D shootedRifle = Physics2D.Raycast(transform.position, shootDirection);

       if (shootedRifle)   
       {
           EnemyBase enemy = shootedRifle.transform.GetComponent<EnemyBase>();
           if (enemy != null)
           {
               enemy.TakeDamage(5, 1, 3, 3, transform);
           }

           rifleTrail.SetPosition(0, transform.position);
           rifleTrail.SetPosition(1, transform.position + shootDirection * 100);
           StartCoroutine(shootVisual(rifleTrail));
       }
   }``` this is my script
acoustic belfry
foggy yoke
acoustic belfry
#

the issue is...

#

i followed his tutorial

#

and now im in this issue, thats how i got the script

#

the thing is

runic lance
foggy yoke
acoustic belfry
#

i shot to my enemies, yet they dont get hurt

#

i dont know why

foggy yoke
polar acorn
rich adder
#

also you should put that RaycastHit2D to good use and actually log wth you hit
eg shootedRifle.collider.name your variable names are kinda stink lol

acoustic belfry
#

and with melee and the other weapon who uses proyectiles it does

polar acorn
acoustic belfry
foggy yoke
#

We need to see some code

acoustic belfry
#

yeah yeah, im on the way, my pc is laggy sorry

foggy yoke
acoustic belfry
# 
public override void TakeDamage(float damage, int type, float pushForce, float BlastForce, Transform attackposition)

        enemyCry(trooperhurt1, trooperhurt2, trooperhurt3, audioSource, 1f, 1.5f);
        health -= damage;
        if (Random.value > 0.16f)
        {
            currentState = MortemState.Pain;
        }

            {
                mortemExplode(RifleBulletspointPrefab, transform, attackposition, BlastForce);
            }
        }
    }```
#

this

polar acorn
acoustic belfry
#

the thing is, doens't get called anyways

#

also, the trail doesn't work either, just fires ones then dissapears forever

foggy yoke
#

Can we see the whole script please?

acoustic belfry
#

ok

rich adder
acoustic belfry
#

enemy script?

acoustic belfry
#

it has an enemy component on it

#

the issue is the raycast

rich adder
acoustic belfry
#

then i dont follow....

rich adder
#

how did you verify that the ray is hitting anything at all, let alone the collider with enemy component on it

rich adder
polar acorn
#

How are you checking that the function runs

#

You've done this long enough to know that you can't just assume the code does what you want it to do and how to log things

rich adder
#

your code doesnt have enough logs 📜

#

logs are what will tell you for sure whats happening

acoustic belfry
#

i know...but i mean, brackeys didnt

rich adder
#

forget brackys, he don't teach you proper debugging. You should learn how to debug your own code

#

logs is the first step

acoustic belfry
#

makes sense

foggy yoke
acoustic belfry
#

ok

foggy yoke
#

And I would draw a gizmos, just for checking if the raycast is long enough.

acoustic belfry
#

yeah makes sense

polar acorn
rich adder
acoustic belfry
#

i even asked some ais, and said the code was good
even i read it, and in theory, it should be good

polar acorn
rich adder
#

everyones setups are different

polar acorn
#

If you're going to just do exactly the same thing as the tutorial and refuse to do anything beyond that, then just download the tutorial source code and poop it out onto itch.io.

#

If you want to actually make something you're going to need to have different code

acoustic belfry
#

mmm, ok

polar acorn
#

So, when your code is doing something you don't expect, log the values you aren't sure about and see what they are

acoustic belfry
#

ok

#

doing rn

#

ok, i dont know what im doing wrong

 {
     Debug.Log("ShootedRifle is even shooting");
     rifle_amount--;
     Vector3 mouseposition = Camera.main.ScreenToWorldPoint(Input.mousePosition);
     mouseposition.z = 0;
     Vector3 shootDirection = (mouseposition - transform.position).normalized;

     RaycastHit2D shootedRifle = Physics2D.Raycast(transform.position, shootDirection);

     if (shootedRifle)
     {
         Debug.Log("ShootedRifle has Shooted");
         EnemyBase enemy = shootedRifle.transform.GetComponent<EnemyBase>();
         if (enemy != null)
         {
             Debug.Log("ShootedRifle's enemy isn't null '");
             enemy.TakeDamage(5, 1, 3, 3, transform);
         }
     }
 }```

all logs fired...yet enemy isn't null just fired once...
polar acorn
#

Instead of just logging "enemy isn't null", how about logging the enemy itself so you know what it is hitting

acoustic belfry
#

but, that would just be logging it hurt state

#

and the hurt effect has audiovisual feedback so i know when is it

polar acorn
#

Okay, so you are seeing the hurting happening? Then what's the problem

woeful scaffold
#

the problem is that it shoots once?

acoustic belfry
#

is that doesn't hurt the enemy, yet...now you might be right...

cuz previously, i had once a trail, and ....just appeared once

#

and now this thing

#

...maybe is that

#

btw, this is the script of the shooting

#

it worked like a charm when i used proyectiles, i dont know what is going on now

    luna.weaponcontainer.sprite = luna.rifleui;
    ammo_amount = rifle_amount;
    luna.rifleTextMeshPro.color = Color.cyan;
    rifle_bullettimer -= Time.deltaTime;
    if (Input.GetMouseButton(0) && rifle_bullettimer <= 0)
    {
        rifle_bullettimer = rifle_firingSpeed;
        rifle_shooting();
    }
    if (Input.GetMouseButton(0))
    {
        animator.SetBool("valeriaShooting", true);
    }
    else
    {
        animator.SetBool("valeriaShooting", false);
    }
    break;```
rich adder
polar acorn
acoustic belfry
acoustic belfry
polar acorn
#

Is it actually reaching the function or not

woeful scaffold
#

do you mean its not triggering the TakeDamage function?

acoustic belfry
#

when was a proyectile it did

#

as a raycast not

rich adder
#

going in circles

#

log the collider name go from there

acoustic belfry
acoustic belfry
#

let me test again

rich adder
woeful scaffold
#

make it Debug.Log the enemy collider

polar acorn
acoustic belfry
#

i think the problem is touching it

polar acorn
acoustic belfry
#

cuz now the touching log doesnt triggers

#

and that would explain a lot

polar acorn
#

Why guess what the answer is when you can actually check

rich adder
#

fr

acoustic belfry
#

how?

polar acorn
acoustic belfry
#

but what other debug i need to put?, apart of the one nav told me that i will add rn

rich adder
#

literally start from step1.
ok what am i actually hitting.. then go from there..

polar acorn
#

If there is a variable and you don't exactly know with 100% certainty what it contains, log it

rich adder
#

you're jumping through like 20 different steps before even taking first step

polar acorn
#

In fact, even if you know with 100% certainty, log it anyway

woeful scaffold
#

use this to get the collider
Debug.Log(shootedRifle.transform.GetComponent<Collider>());

rich adder
#

logs are literally there to convert from assumptions to facts

acoustic belfry
woeful scaffold
#

atlaest try

acoustic belfry
#

nvm

woeful scaffold
#

was i wrong?

#

who put x

acoustic belfry
#

the one who gave the idea in first place, so yeah...sorry

rich adder
# woeful scaffold was i wrong?

because I sent the code already.. shootedRifle already contains the hit collider..doing getcomponent on the transform is redudant

polar acorn
#

You can just get the collider from the raycasthit

woeful scaffold
polar acorn
#

Also, they have the same name

#

Logging the transform's name and the collider's name will both tell you the object

rich adder
#

the whole pointRaycastHit2D contains all sorts of information

polar acorn
acoustic belfry
#

ok, this is weird

#

it hits everything

#

me, my friend, and the enemy

polar acorn
#

Okay, what are you doing in order to make it not do that

#

Why shouldn't it be hitting everything?

acoustic belfry
#

oh no, i dont know if this is good or bad, im just saying, the problem is, is hitting the enemy, yet... dont

#

oooh wait

#

maybe this means the player is hitting itself?

rich adder
#

probably

#

typically you want to filter down to specific layers

acoustic belfry
#

makes sense

#

like my melee

polar acorn
acoustic belfry
#

hurts everything at demon layer

#

yet, how i can add layer to the raycast?

rich adder
polar acorn
acoustic belfry
rich adder
#

great so put it in the raycast function in the proper parameter

acoustic belfry
#

well...how i can...skip parameters?

polar acorn
#

you don't

acoustic belfry
#

ok

rich adder
#

sometimes it confuses people they mistake the int layer for gameobject layer number

acoustic belfry
#

for distance i should just put then
Mathf.Infinity
right?

#

i mean cuz is like the bridge to layers

rich adder
#

sure if you want inifinite ray

acoustic belfry
#

is a raycast, i thought the rule was to be infinite

polar acorn
rich adder
#

raycasts can have distance

acoustic belfry
rich adder
#

typically you would use some sort of "range" for your weapon

polar acorn
#

If you don't want infinite, put something else

acoustic belfry
polar acorn
#

It's very simple: Decide the number you want, then use it

#

We cannot answer this part for you

acoustic belfry
#

I know

polar acorn
#

We don't know what range you want

acoustic belfry
#

Mm ok. I will check that later

#

Well, lets see if this fixes the problem. I will be right back

#

yes that was

#

freaking layers

#

thank you all so much

#

im no longer tied to proyectiles anymore

rich adder
#

as devs you always verify assumptions with facts, and usually thats logging all sorts of stuff

red igloo
#

Is this how you cast a ray with the mouse?

Capture.PNG
rich adder
red igloo
# rich adder should be. depends how you need it

Basically when I press R the camera view changes. I want to cast the ray so I can click on one of them cubes then I can change the tracking target of the main camera to track the object that was clicked

Capture.PNG
rich adder
acoustic belfry
rich adder
acoustic belfry
#

oof

#

i can add multiple layers?

rich adder
#

ofc thats the whole point of LayerMask

acoustic belfry
#

i mean, at the parameter

#

but yeah that makes sense

acoustic belfry
rich adder
#

its pretty gross doing it with bitshifting and ontop of that strings

acoustic belfry
#

ok

acoustic belfry
#

in the serialized?

rich adder
#

yes layermasks can contain multiple layers

acoustic belfry
#

waos

#

i just tested rn

rich adder
#

this shows how its working in the background

acoustic belfry
#

o h

#

is ok if this is working on update?
i mean for performance and stuff

rich adder
#

if you mean raycasts, they are pretty cheap so yes its okay in update

acoustic belfry
#

nvm, i realized my question was dumb, this is an stored value

#

thanks
:3

rich adder
#

it gets put into an int at the end of the day its pretty efficient

rough granite

#

I think at that point you would something like raycastcommand

#

pretty crazy the Ray constructor is most ms.

#

that magnitude/sqrt aint cheap fr fr

grand snow
#

allocation isnt free
nor is sqr root

#

but not bad tbh

rich adder
#

ya for 100k it aint soo bad i suppose

rocky canyon
#

just curious how much running conditionals w/ each cast would up the time

#

raycast -> validate cast

rich adder
rocky canyon
#

x 1000 😬

if u got 100k enemies u need to teach me some optimization tricks 😄

btw two audiosources is unecessary , you only need 1 and just swap out the clips , simply store the two clips as AudioClip assign them, and use audiosource.PlayOneShot(soundOnSfx) & audiosource.PlayOneShot(soundOffSfx)

what do i do?

rich adder

#

make sure ur animations aren't using "Root Motion" as well

#

may also want to cache ur inputs in Update() and act on those inputs in Fixed()

#

soo ur not having inconsistent or completely skipping over inputs

Quick question
If I have a capsule collider for an enemys hitbox but the enemy has a skinned mesh renderer, whats a good way to find the closest point on its skin to the collision to spawn effects like blood?

The solutions I find online all involve iterating through every vertex which seems slow, wondering if it's a better idea to have a second more precise hitbox with colliders to handle this instead

spiral oak
#

Quick question. Is it a bad practise —or, well, not recommended for any reason— to use type aliases for long type names that can be understood with a much shorter term in the local scope?

Like this:

using BackgroundController = InfiniteVerticalBackgroundController;

quick question. Can I use ontriggerenter on one object to detect 2 other objects colliding, so the script is on one object checking two other objects for triggerenter

#

the script is on object C checking A and B

Quick question
I currently working on a cutscene for my 2d pixel art game using timeline, its working quite well until the signal hit and pause the cutscene, a character i move with animation track suddenly disapear and move to its original position, can i make the object move along with the cutscene or should i change the tranform when the signal hit?

Let me see how easy it is to make a collider out of multiple primitives

#

and to also make it move with bones

rich adder
#

as long as each one is on the bone they will move fine with mesh

wanton socket
#

Ah okay cool
Thanks

im confused. it looks like my resolution settings work fine, but they do not work when i am in fullscreen.

spiral oak
# faint agate how would I do this?

You can do something like this

public class A : MonoBehaviour 
{
    public void OnCollide()
    {
        // Do something when B and C collide
    }
}

public class B : MonoBehaviour 
{
    // References to A. Set it from the inspector
    [SerializeField] private A a;
    [SerializeField] private GameObject b;

    void OnCollisionEnter(var collision)
    {
        if (collision.gameObject == b)
            a.OnCollide()
    }
}

public class C : MonoBehaviour 
{
    // References to A. Set it from the inspector
    [SerializeField] private A a;
    [SerializeField] private GameObject c;

    void OnCollisionEnter(var collision)
    {
        if (collision.gameObject == c)
            a.OnCollide()
    }
}```

my best suggestion would be to start looking at tutorials and learn as much as you can. you can make a game with no money but if you want to use that budget you can always hire people later down the line. still though, start learning do the best you can and then improve later

it isn't bad, but it's almost impossible to make a full product or your own vision when you have anything else do it for you. it's ineffecient in a lot of places, and you won't have the knowledge to make anything your own or change what you don't like.

a lot about scripting is to use tutorials, but eventually move away from them and do things on your own. google does help, a lot of people have had pretty much every issue that you face. learn the basics, and then move forward from there

Just getting back into unity today. I created a project from the ECS FPS template available in the Hub. I'm not sure what the issue is but the template is running really slow. CPU is 32-40 ms with just a single player and with 4 thin clients its unplayable at around 90 ms. Are there some settiings that need to be tweaked?

Ran the profiler and the player loop is taking up all of that time. Seems that the issue is playing as client and server where they both take 18 ms but taking 18 ms is still pretty slow for what seems to be a pretty slim template.

I think ECS is specifically designed to be used with Burst. It'd make sense if there's a ton of optimizations specifically for it that actually end up being more costly without it. I don't really know anything about the internals of it so I'm just guessing

Hey all, im using character controller component, with a y movement for gravity, getting that common bug of the character getting "stuck" on the edge of cubes (i can keep moving and it falls, but it wont fall on its own until it has cleared the edge). I know grounded check for character controller is basically the whole bottom 3rd right? My question is there an easy to way to fix it natively (ie: with character controller apis/properties) or is the only way to fix it through casts (ray/sphere)?

faint agate
rocky canyon
#

you can also tune ur settings a bit to get a better result
skin width, stepoffset, and ur downwards force (gravity)
my gravity is constantly applying a downward force as well (up to a max limit)
this sorta helps slip u off the edge sometimescs if (!controller.isGrounded) yVelocity += gravity * Time.deltaTime; else yVelocity = smallDownwardForce; <-- also helps with slopes (gets rid of the up and down washboard affect)

#

but these are basically all "hacks" and not a solution" soo for that i can not give u 😦

Is there a way to flag a field so that I can serialize it as a reference to another component on the same object, so I don't have to GetComponent at runtime, without having to actually take up space in the editor

sour fulcrum
#

I think you can use [HideInInspector] plus maybe OnValidate()?

pallid heron
#

Oh, OnValidate might be a good idea. HideInInspector is scary by itself if I'm not getting something at runtime cause I don't want it to get unassigned and then I don't notice 💀

north kiln
#

Generally I would avoid hiding serialized references for that exact reason.
I tend to assign references in Reset so they're automatically added when creating a component but they don't run continously like OnValidate does

#

OnValidate is a performance nightmare, changes all across the editor can trigger things to update, even in prefabs, I avoid it except for the most basic of cases

pallid heron
#

Fair enough

#

What would be the easiest way to serialize a list of sprites that I want to get by string? So like, essentially a dictionary, but you can't define dictionaries in the editor

sour fulcrum
rough granite
ivory bobcat

Not natively but you could use serialized dictionaries from the asset store.

how would i make a bootstrap scene? ie a scene that would start before i run any other scene at the start of the game or test.

i want to make a developer console and initialize any global variables. this works fine when i start from the menu, but when i am testing in the unity editor i can start from any scene. this means my console will never be created and my variables will never be initialized unless i start from that specific scene manually.

Not specifically an answer to your question but if it can help you i'd look at RuntimeInitializeOnLoadMethod attribute before looking into specific scene shenanigans

if that code is running with no errors its absolutely disabling something

I did.

ivory bobcat

So which object was highlighted

foggy yoke
ivory bobcat
#

Then none of the objects were referenced and you'd get a nre or do not simply understand what we're trying to resolve by using the log as I specifically set up.

foggy yoke
#

I tried it again, no objects were disabled, and enemy is referenced correctly.

ivory bobcat
#

An object should have been highlighted yellow.

#

Being disabled at this point is not the goal

#

We're trying to see which object was referenced. Clicking the message should have highlighted the object yellow.

foggy yoke
ivory bobcat
#

Single click.

foggy yoke
ivory bobcat
#

An object will be highlighted. You likely referenced the prefab or a destroyed object that should have been highlighted if possible

#

Show where enemy is referenced

It's fixed now... I did absolutely nothing.

Anyway you're only checking for two very specific result types. Why don't you add a debug log for what the result actually is?

#

This is the time for debugging

pale adder
# wintry quarry Wdym by "marks as done"?

Previously I had it set to create an operation, and the operation there had flag isDone on true. When I tried debugging, on debug it works which is weird. When I set a breakpoiint on the request, then step over and wait 1sec. The result is there, but if I let it contrinue it would not have any result and just end the coroutine

wintry quarry
#

You have a log there already, what is it telling you?

pale adder
wintry quarry
#

If nothing then your coroutine is not continuing as you claim

#

Either it's still waiting for the request to finish or the coroutine is dying

pale adder
#

it would on debug with a rbeakpoint if I paused after the request

#

but if theres no slight break after the request, it feels like its dying

wintry quarry
#

There's no circumstances where the log line runs and you don't see anything in console. That's not possible

pale adder
#

if there is break, it works OK

wintry quarry
#

So the coroutine may very well be dying

#

Which can happen if the object it's running on is destroyed or deactivated

pale adder
#

ill show u in few secs, just my Unity froze

ohh, maybe thats it... I have the object on a UI panel that may not be active at some point

ill move it out to some static object and see

yeah, you'd need sortedDictionary for this stuff

wintry quarry
# bright zodiac they do have *order*, the order is based on the hash value....

Dictionaries are unordered, that's part of the contract of a Dictionary. Obviously yes they exist in some order in memory. But there is nothing in the API that will guarantee any particular order of iteration or the ability to access an element based on its position in some order.

And no SortedDictionary won't be suitable here, since it doesn't allow duplicates.

But there is nothing in the API that will guarantee any particular order of iteration or the ability
agreed only with this part. yeah, there's no exposed api for it unfortunately

silver fern
#

what's the best way to check if two objects are touching in 2d without using collider boxes?

wintry quarry
#

basically you'd have to implement your own collision logic - which will depend heavily on their shapes

silver fern
wintry quarry
#

Is there a good reason you don't want to use the built in physics engine?

silver fern
wintry quarry
#

If you don't use that, you need to implement collision logic yourself. For circles it's very easy, you just compare distances to the centers of them and see if that's less than the sum of their radii

frail hawk
#

so you want to avoid using physics and colliders through out your game?

silver fern
wintry quarry
#

there's also more to it than the collision logic though - the engine uses spatial partitioning structures to make it so it doesn't have to check collision of every object against every other object every frame

#

if you have a lot of objects in the scene it will be very slow without that

#

it's honestly 99% of the time not worth implementing your own collision

#

you will need to write code to check if every pair of every possible shape you have are colliding:

  • Circle/Circle
  • Circle/Rectangle
  • Rectangle/Rectangle

If you add another shape, this list will grow exponentially

I need some advice. How would i go about making system to dynamically organise the ingame notebook entries?

The entries are the black lines of text with a white background. I want to make a system where i can add any amount of entries, that will automatically space themselves out based the amount of lines of text, and that can go to the next page if there's not enough space on the current page. Ideally i'd also want it to be as simple as possible to remove & swap the entries if needed.

I tries using the ui grid layout thing, but i don't think it's flexible enough to account for objects of different sizes & spilling on the next page with the offset. I've used it for the little sticky notes on the sides tho.

The entries themselves are just prefabs with text & the background. I may add buttons to entries in the future

wintry quarry
# soft lotus I need some advice. How would i go about making system to dynamically organise t...

seems pretty straightforward. Each page has N lines. Each entry is a certain number of lines.

Whenever you insert an element in the notebook, you would just do a for loop to rearrange everything. The algorithm is simple:
For each entry:

  • Check the size of the entry compared with the nuymber of lines left on the current page.
  • If the entry you want to place is smaller than the number of lines left, place it on this page (and reduce the lines left on the page)
  • otherwise, place it as the first entry of the next page, which now becomes your new page.
#

as for actually laying them out visually, a VerticalLayoutGroup will do for each page

My current movement system works fairly well. However, my character seems to float back to the ground after jumping instead of falling at a normal rate.

I've looked this over and changed a few details, but I'm a little too green to know exactly what to change. How do I fix this?

https://pastebin.com/4u1LdHBH

haughty bison
#

Shrug I wouldn't imagine so? Like my instinct says after the jump, there's no character input that would trigger Movement but I could very well be wrong.

sick arrow
haughty bison
#

Or are you saying that triggering the jump would activate both Gravity and Movement, and one is taking precedence?

rich adder
#

afaik don't think its a good idea to call .Move twice

#

you should combine the values into 1 call

haughty bison
#

Okay cool, so bake the jump logic into my Movement method then?

rich adder
haughty bison
#

Ohhh yeah okay I see what you mean. Thank you!!

rich adder
slender nymph
#

you should also make sure that your CheckSphere is detecting ground correctly since you set your downward velocity to a specific value when grounded

rich adder
#

yeah if its detecting grounded midair it could be setting the yVel to -2

haughty bison
rich adder
#

hmm thinking..most likely thats what it is. regardless still good practice to combine into 1 call

#

maybe your player is in the same layers as groundMask or something ?

#

although that would give you unlimited jumps as side effect also, Debug.Log values and see whats happening.

haughty bison
#

The Player + child elements are set to Default, and everything in Environment is set to a Ground layer

use the physics debugger to actually visualize the checksphere

Hey guys, im following this tutorial and i have a problem https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lGxXQzE5Vu8&t=325s:

  1. The CineMachine version of the video is the CineMachine 3 and im using CineMachine 2.10
  2. In the video they use the next script:
    using UnityEngine;
    using Cinemachine;

public class CameraFocus : MonoBehaviour
{
public CinemachineBrain Brain;
public ICinemachineCamera CamA;
public ICinemachineCamera CamB;

private void Start()
{

    int priority = 1;
    float weight = 1f;
    float blendTime = 0f;
    Brain.SetCameraOverride(layer, priority, CamA, CamB, weight, blendTime);
}

}

but in my case im using the oldest version of cinemachine and it requieres 5 parameters (not 6):

public int SetCameraOverride(
int overrideId,
ICinemachineCamera camA, ICinemachineCamera camB,
float weightB, float deltaTime)
{
if (overrideId < 0)

// In case vcams are inactive game objects, make sure they get initialized properly
var cam = camA as CinemachineVirtualCameraBase;
if (cam != null)
    cam.EnsureStarted();
cam = camB as CinemachineVirtualCameraBase;
if (cam != null)

Hey guys, im following this tutorial and i have a problem https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lGxXQzE5Vu8&t=325s:

  1. The CineMachine version of the video is the CineMachine 3 and im using CineMachine 2.10
  2. In the video they use the next script:
using UnityEngine;
using Cinemachine;


public class CameraFocus : MonoBehaviour
{
    public CinemachineBrain Brain;
    public ICinemachineCamera CamA;
    public ICinemachineCamera CamB;

    private void Start()
    {
        CamA = GetComponent<CinemachineVirtualCamera>();
        CamB = GetComponent<CinemachineVirtualCamera>();

        int layer = 1;
        int priority = 1;
        float weight = 1f;
        float blendTime = 0f;
        Brain.SetCameraOverride(layer, priority, CamA, CamB, weight, blendTime);
    }

}

but in my case im using the oldest version of cinemachine and it requieres 5 parameters (not 6):


public int SetCameraOverride(
    int overrideId,
    ICinemachineCamera camA, ICinemachineCamera camB,
    float weightB, float deltaTime)
{
    if (overrideId < 0)
        overrideId = mNextFrameId++;

    BrainFrame frame = mFrameStack[GetBrainFrame(overrideId)];
    frame.deltaTimeOverride = deltaTime;
    frame.blend.CamA = camA;
    frame.blend.CamB = camB;
    frame.blend.BlendCurve = mDefaultLinearAnimationCurve;
    frame.blend.Duration = 1;
    frame.blend.TimeInBlend = weightB;

    // In case vcams are inactive game objects, make sure they get initialized properly
    var cam = camA as CinemachineVirtualCameraBase;
    if (cam != null)
        cam.EnsureStarted();
    cam = camB as CinemachineVirtualCameraBase;
    if (cam != null)
        cam.EnsureStarted();

    return overrideId;
}

So the problem that they solve in the video with that script i cant fix it. Do you have any idea to solve that?

cant you just manipulate the priorities and call it a day?

tacit snow
tacit snow
#

i dont know how to do it

rocky canyon
#

it should have a Update in place where the Install is..

tacit snow
#

im using 2022.3.51f1

rocky canyon
# tacit snow what do you mean?

i simply mean setting the transition data on the Cinemachine Brain..
and then modifying ur VCam's Priority for the transition..

like if u have a MainCam = 0
and a SecondaryCam = 1

you can reference those in script and change Main to 1 and Sec to 0

#

and vice versa.. giving 1 cam priority over the other (and having the transitions just go)

tacit snow
#

i dont rlly understand how to do that, can you help in private chat now? I can screen share and you told me how to do it if its possible

#

this is my camera config

image.png
rocky canyon
#

you basically dont even need to change priorities at runtime (if ur toggling cameras on and off and having the priorities already set)

it basically just transitions from 1 cam to the other
you can disable a virtual camera and enable a second virtual camera and it'll transition on its own.. (depending on the brains settings)..

1 sec and ill show a little example
you can basically just utilize thisCamera.SetActive(false); thatCamera.SetActive(true);

#

i never do much more than just this ^
i have my cameras set up and disabled
when i need to transition i just toggle 1 of em on..
when i need to transition back i just toggle it back off..

tacit snow
#

i dont rlly understant you

rocky canyon
#

thats pretty much the extent of my cinemachine knowledge tho 🤣
now im on a side-quest to figure out why i have different versions available to me

image.png image.png
tacit snow
#

what i want its a two person local multyplayer

rocky canyon
tacit snow
#

yep

#

thaths it

rocky canyon
#

ohhhh

tacit snow
#

let me show a video

rocky canyon
#

okay ya i misunderstood you earlier mb

tacit snow
#

dw

#

so in the tutorial, unity devs use this code to solve it:

using UnityEngine;
using Cinemachine;

public class CameraFocus : MonoBehaviour
{
    public CinemachineBrain Brain;
    public ICinemachineCamera CamA;
    public ICinemachineCamera CamB;

    private void Start()
    {
        CamA = GetComponent<CinemachineVirtualCamera>();
        CamB = GetComponent<CinemachineVirtualCamera>();

        int layer = 1;
        int priority = 1;
        float weight = 1f;
        float blendTime = 0f;
        Brain.SetCameraOverride(layer, priority, CamA, CamB, weight, blendTime);
    }

}```
#

but in my actual cinemachine version i CANT use that because i need just 5 parameters instead of 6

#

so it gives me an error

rocky canyon
#

whtat is it that they are "solving"

#

i think thats the part i missed

#

what feature/mechanic/are you setting up?

tacit snow
rocky canyon
#

whats the code doing?

tacit snow
#

srry my english not so good xd

rocky canyon
#

or supposed to be doing

tacit snow
#

let me show

rocky canyon

i just need to know what the expected outcome is

#

the only difference is that im using a spawn method to instantiate the characters, but doing the same as him, stills not working

rocky canyon
#

oh okay.. let me look into it a bit

tacit snow
#

okay mate

#

for the character

#

i just changed the mesh and animator

rocky canyon
#

okay a quick glance.. and ur right.. the older API only has 5 params..
should be an easy solution... just use 5 params..
the older one doesn't have one for blendTime so you'd use pretty much the same signature but without the blendTime...

🎦 Cinemachine 3: Brain.SetCameraOverride(layer, priority, CamA, CamB, weight, blendTime);
🎦 Cinemachine Legacy: Brain.SetCameraOverride(layer, priority, CamA, CamB, weight);

tacit snow
#

okay let me try

rocky canyon
#

for the blending that'd be done on the Cinemachine brain..

tacit snow
#

i tried before without layer and not works

rocky canyon
#

no no, the layer is still there..

#

the only one missing is blendTime

#

which u'd have to set on the cinemachine brain.. (legacy)

is not working mate

error says i need a variable for myrigidbody "the variable myrigidbody of birdscript has not been assigned"

heyo, was wondering if theres some kind of chart/statistics of object pooling vs instantiating and destroying ? or if someone can share their opinion on if it's always worth it or could be fine in "smaller" games ? trying to weigh my options in refactoring a lot of old code

@rocky canyon did you find a solution?

which you haven't done

There exists a BirdScript that doesn't have that variable assigned

i did

slender nymph
rocky canyon

you can access the cinemachine brain brain.m_DefaultBlend.m_Time = 1f; // 1 second blend to do the same thing the blendTime variable would have done in the Override method

#

that cinemachine2 doesn't have

little olive
tacit snow

marsh vale
tacit snow
#

lots of people there

slender nymph
# marsh vale

notice how the error message is telling you what to do

polar acorn
# marsh vale

You have a BirdScript that doesn't have a myRigidbody assigned

wintry quarry
# marsh vale

yes we get it. This is an extremely simple, common, and known error based on you not having assigned the variable.

rocky canyon
wintry quarry
#

you might have another copy of the script in the scene that you added accidentally where you didn't assign it

rocky canyon
#

this is the script i came up with ^ it should help you understand the priority system a bit better..
sorry i dont do DMs.. i'd never get any work done

tacit snow
#

okay i will try

rocky canyon
#

in the Vcam components you can see the value here being manipulated.. and thats basically what transitions the cams

image.png
frail hawk
zenith holly
polar acorn
tacit snow
marsh vale
# 
public Rigidbody2D myRigidbody;

does this not assign the thing as a varaible?

polar acorn
#

that creates a variable

#

you dragging something into the slot assigns the variable

rocky canyon
marsh vale
#

oh my goddddd this is so much different from rblxs i need to get used to doing all this dragging

rocky canyon
#

you can give it a try in the editor yourself.. simply by changing the value.. (then we can do the same at runtime) ie. the script i posted

marsh vale
#

thanks for the help

rocky canyon
marsh vale
#

im still getting the erroir message tho

#

even tho the code works

rocky canyon

ty man

marsh vale
slender nymph
#

search t:BirdScript in the hierarchy

polar acorn
rocky canyon
#

👀 tricky tricky

polar acorn
# marsh vale

Consider the statement:
"My cat has been fed"

And the follow up:
"All cats have been fed"

Does that make sense? Why would feeding one cat mean that all cats everywhere are all fed?

#

this BirdScript has its rigidbody assigned.

#

The error says there is a BirdScript that does not have its rigidbody assigned

rocky canyon
#

☝️

polar acorn
#

therefore, the error is not talking about this one

wintry quarry
# marsh vale

you need to look at all the objects in the scene and perhaps also your prefabs and find where you accidentally added another BirdScript to something

marsh vale
#

ic, so what would I drag into the script myrigidbody section?

polar acorn
frail hawk
marsh vale
#

oh

#

u right

frail hawk
#

that is what everyone was trying to tell you

marsh vale

dude im slow ash

 if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Space) == true)
        {
            myRigidbody.linearVelocity = Vector2.up * 10;   
        }
#

is this the right way to do inputs or am i doing something wrong

night mural
#

the thing you are doing wrong is not actually reading and thinking about the things unity is telling you

marsh vale
#

like ive never even touched the unity settings

#

idek where it is

polar acorn
# marsh vale i cant catcha break

You are trying to read Input using the UnityEngine.Input class, but you have switched active Input Handling to Input System package in Player Settings

night mural
#

but it is dumb that unity has 2 input systems and beginners have to understand that and run into old tutorials all the time that won't actually work

polar acorn
#

Literally plug those words into a search engine and it'll tell you how to switch

marsh vale
night mural
#

I donno, the old one is simpler to start with which might be nice? but probably people should learn the new one

marsh vale
#

is the way im doing rn the old way

#

i assum eit is

sharp mirage
#

@rich adder

image.png image.png
frail hawk
#

the new one is powerful but really not beginner friendly

night mural
marsh vale
#

yall advise i learn the old way first then learnt he new way?

night mural
#

so I'd say spend a bit of time trying to do it the new way and if that feels crazy, look up how to switch to using the old eway

#

and just know that later you might need to circle back once you have a better grasp on things overall

tacit snow

Hey guys, im following this tutorial and i have a problem https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lGxXQzE5Vu8&t=325s:

  1. The CineMachine version of the video is the CineMachine 3 and im using CineMachine 2.10
  2. In the video they use the next script:
using UnityEngine;
using Cinemachine;


public class CameraFocus : MonoBehaviour
{
    public CinemachineBrain Brain;
    public ICinemachineCamera CamA;
    public ICinemachineCamera CamB;

    private void Start()
    {
        CamA = GetComponent<CinemachineVirtualCamera>();
        CamB = GetComponent<CinemachineVirtualCamera>();

        int layer = 1;
        int priority = 1;
        float weight = 1f;
        float blendTime = 0f;
        Brain.SetCameraOverride(layer, priority, CamA, CamB, weight, blendTime);
    }

}

but in my case im using the oldest version of cinemachine and it requieres 5 parameters (not 6):


public int SetCameraOverride(
    int overrideId,
    ICinemachineCamera camA, ICinemachineCamera camB,
    float weightB, float deltaTime)
{
    if (overrideId < 0)
        overrideId = mNextFrameId++;

    BrainFrame frame = mFrameStack[GetBrainFrame(overrideId)];
    frame.deltaTimeOverride = deltaTime;
    frame.blend.CamA = camA;
    frame.blend.CamB = camB;
    frame.blend.BlendCurve = mDefaultLinearAnimationCurve;
    frame.blend.Duration = 1;
    frame.blend.TimeInBlend = weightB;

    // In case vcams are inactive game objects, make sure they get initialized properly
    var cam = camA as CinemachineVirtualCameraBase;
    if (cam != null)
        cam.EnsureStarted();
    cam = camB as CinemachineVirtualCameraBase;
    if (cam != null)
        cam.EnsureStarted();

    return overrideId;
}

So the problem that they solve in the video with that script i cant fix it. Do you have any idea to solve that?

that's not what I said to do

the link

#

you sent

#

ok

wintry quarry
#

Yes I was saying to make that settings say NONE

#

just remove the one that was there from the setting

#

and delete any new asset you created

#

do NOT delete your original asset though.

#

Just remove it from that setting

marsh vale
#

ok i deelte the thing it created and it basically just reverted it

#

im in settings rn

wintry quarry
#

that's good - but make sure you didn't delete the actual asset

wintry quarry
marsh vale
wintry quarry
#

You need to be in the Input System Package page

#

as per the link

marsh vale
wintry quarry
#

you need to make this say None

Screenshot_2025-07-23_at_17.06.18.png
#

right now it's pointing at your asset

#

you can right click it to remove the reference I believe

tacit snow

is there any way to update my project version to unity 6?

marsh vale

i just hit the dot

#

and changed it to none

wintry quarry
wintry quarry
marsh vale
#

ty

marsh vale
#

now i can make my own right

wintry quarry
#

There was no need to create or modify that

#

you certainly can make your own if you want

#

all you needed to do was make the project-wide asset setting say None

#

you can continue to use the asset that is called PlayerInput_Actions

marsh vale
#

if its set to none what does it change? im am still able to use the controls

wintry quarry

It's a thing you're not using - but having it set that way was causing the warning you saw

that's all
