If i change displacement multiplier... Idk how to change anything to connect edges

[teal viper]

Let's keep it in your thread.

[near junco]

Hello
I was wondering on how to use the Cursor.Lockstate, CursorLockMode and Cursor.Visible
Should I put those in Update() ? Is there a "best" practice to know ?

I tried using those lines in Start() but at runtime in the editor the cursor wouldn't lock or hide so I'm curious

[wintry quarry]

You put them in your code at the moment you want to change it

In the editor this will only have an effect when the game window is focused

[near junco]

the game window is in "Play focused" , that's why I don't understand why it doesn't lock/hide

[slender nymph]

you have to actually click into the game view window to focus it

if it is still not working then you need to make sure this code is actually running

[near junco]

I've seen people say that on the forum , but doesn't work too for me
and the script is properly set on an active gameobject in my scene, I'm very confused
I put a debug.log message to see if it was firing properly and it did yet the cursor state was unchanged so I'm wondering if I'm missing something to know about it

[slender nymph]

either you are not actually clicking into the game view window or some other component is unlocking it

[wintry quarry]

you might have other code changing it

[strange kelp]

How should I handle all of the scripts in my simulation(e.g. physics script)? Should I use a monobehaviour script attached to some object?

[wintry quarry]

this is a really vague question so it's hard to give a specific answer.

in general yes you will need at least one MonoBehaviour as a code entry point in Unity to orchestrate your game logic.

[strange kelp]

But I heard there are also scripts that don't need a gameobject

[raven pilot]

Beginner here but should just be able to run a check if it's focused unsure if it's possible to allow a check of the editor itself or not, feel like this could be useful in some cases.

[wintry quarry]

you can write whatever C# code you want. There is no limit.

But again, you will generally need at least one MonoBehaviour as an entrypoint

[strange kelp]

Eh, I'll just make a gameobject called main and put all my monobehaviours on there

[raven pilot]

Yeah could just get the focusedWindow Title Content Text if it's the game view or scene whichever is the use case.

[west sonnet]

Can anyone please help me figure out why my gun is moving downwards when I shoot?

[wintry quarry]

Press Z to switch to Pivot mode

I bet the pivot of whatever object you're rotating is off center for the gun

you'll also want to show the actual code for the shooting though

because this recoil script looks like only half of the equation

[west sonnet]

It's just behind the gun

[wintry quarry]

You want this generally on Pivot/Local

Ok show us the shooting code - where's the code that actually initiates the recoil movement

i.e. calls RecoilFire?

This is the code that controls the recoil movement. I have a seperate code for shooting

[wintry quarry]

yes you showed this code already. Show the shooting code

[wintry quarry]

also which object is selected here exactly? Looks like only a part of the gun?

How does the hierarchy of this gun and the thing holding it look?

[west sonnet]

Oh dude, my bad! I have a Gun parent object (which is empty) that has all the gun components inside of it. my shoot and recoil scripts are attached to that. It looks like the pivot is below the gun

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

This is the script for the shooting although it doesn't do anything related to the recoil

[wintry quarry]

yeah so when you rotate around that pivot, the gun will appear to move down, no?

[west sonnet]

Oooh right

How can I move the pivot?

[wintry quarry]

you can just move the object that has the renderer

the child object

to where you want it

[west sonnet]

I've moved it so that the pivot is near the grip, but the gun still moves downwards when shooting

[wintry quarry]

make sure the pivot you're working with in the editor is the same one you're animating in code

(please don't crop screenshots, it removes helpful information)

[west sonnet]

The script is attached to the selected Gun object and in the script, what's affected is "Transform.rotation" so that would be the same pivot, right?

[wintry quarry]

yes

change the rotation in the inspector a bit to see how that rotation will affect things

if it's doing something different than when you run the game - some other thing is happening

Hi, I'm trying to use yarnspinner for a dialogue system but I'm running into an issue after completing a build (either webgl or win64). Basically, the button to continue dialogue on click autodisables.
I'd appreciate any help. The issue is specifically triggered by building.

The docs say: https://docs.yarnspinner.dev/components/dialogue-view/line-presenter
"The supplied Line Presenter has an arrow button at the bottom. Clicking this will call RequestNextLine on the Dialogue Runner:"

Details:

• In Editor (fresh scene with default presenter from Dialogue System ), continue button works as expected: one can click and trigger "RequestNewLine" via default arrow button.
• After building for WebGL or Win64 development (no code changes as seen in git), returning to Play mode in Editor shows that the button is disabled and non-interactive in the inspector (see first image) even after the first line of text finishes appearing, and therefore, dialgoue doesn't continue to next line. This persists after closing the editor and reopening many times.
• Creating a new presenter fixes it, but issue returns after another build.

Setup:

• Default Unity Universal 2D template
• Yarn Spinner component added via Hierarchy -> Yarn Spinner -> Dialogue System
• No other canvas elements in view
• Unity 6000.0.55f1

Please help me understand why is the button disabling itself during runtime after it has well finished typing the line and what I should i do to recover the default behaviour.

The image below shows it is disabled (during runtime)

Here is the repo with the minimal sample: https://github.com/jmferreirab/YarnIssue (you need to trigger build to trigger the error, otherwise you won't see the bug).

[wintry quarry]

Does your gun have an animator or something?

[west sonnet]

No, I wanted the recoil to be done physics only

[wintry quarry]

I'm not familiar with that particular asset but almost certainly it's something in the asset doing that.

[wintry quarry]

one thing that's weird to me is we don't see it in the camera t all.
And nowe I realized the gun is a child of the camera and the camera is moving

my guess is you have some kind of impulse listener on the camera or something

[chrome falcon]

I added the repo (its like 1mb). If you feel like taking a look.
Or maybe you could possibly suggest a dialogue system that doesn't break like this on unity 6 based on your own experience. Sorry for the trouble. It's fine if not haha.

Thanks a bunch for your reply. I feel overwhelmed because it makes zero sense lol.

[wintry quarry]

in fact what's this "CameraRecoil" thing?

[wintry quarry]

I mean it's sometihng in Yarn itself

which I assume is not free, and I don't have

[chrome falcon]

no, no, its free. You can add from Open UPM or github. The repo has that.
You can also get it from itchio and pay

Literally just need to clone the github project and unity will set itself up with the package.

[west sonnet]

Ah man, I figured out the issue. I'm coming back to this project after a few months and forgot I added recoil to the camera

Thank you @wintry quarry

[wintry quarry]

Yuup seemed that way

[near junco]

yeah that was it , thank you and @slender nymph
one of the asset I installed was controlling the cursor without saying anything so I was veeery confused

[chrome falcon]

The manifest.json takes care of that:

Hi! I'm new to Unity and I'm trying to use a Tetris Style Inventory System that someone else made available for download here:

https://github.com/DavidSouzaLD/InventoryTetris-Unity

I'm running into a couple of Null Reference Exceptions when I try to run the game, and I'm almost certain I set up everything correctly in the inspector.
I get the error immediately upon running the game, on line 157 of the Item Script.

When disabling the function in LateUpdate, the game runs until I click on an item to move, I then get another Null Reference Exception, this time at line 330 of the Inventory Script.

[naive pawn]

on line 157
...this script?

[wintry quarry]

Item is only 156 lines long

so I think you're mistaken @elder tusk

[naive pawn]

perhaps show your stacktrace

[elder tusk]

for me Item.cs is 166 lines? If its okay I can send a screenshot of my VS Studio or maybe send a link to what my formatting looks like

[naive pawn]

the info you give for the other error you mention isn't sufficient to say anything either. something's calling it with null is about it

[wintry quarry]

then you're looking at a different version of the repo or a different repo

[naive pawn]

use !code to show it

[wintry quarry]

rectTransform is null

[west sonnet]

When I shoot, a bullet is instatiated from the gun barrel and moves forward in whatever direction the gun is facing. Because of the slight distance in between the gun sights and barrel, if I aim at something, my bullet hits slightly below it, not at the actual target. Does anyone know how to mitigate this?

[wintry quarry]

this is an extremely common issue in games

[west sonnet]

Yeah, I've been reading about it :/

Not sure how to resolve it

[naive pawn]

isn't it a thing IRL too

[wintry quarry]

one common approach is to fire the bullet from the center of the camera instead.
Another approach is to fire a raycast from the center of the camera and then make a visual-oinoly bullet that goes to that point

there's no perfect answer - you need to think about what's a priority for your game

[west sonnet]

Hmmm okay, I'll give it a go. Thanks!

[wintry quarry]

yes in fact the distance between the sights and the barrel on a gun is a whole thing which is why sights need calibration for different distances

(that plus bullet drop)

[elder tusk]

making the rect transform public and getting rid of the {get; set;} lets it show up in the inspector and I can assign it, thus fixing the issue. Although I'm confused why the item script cant access the rect transform on my item prefab, I'd think I wouldn't have to manually assign it.

As for the second null reference exception, what could I provide to help solve the issue?

[wintry quarry]

why the item script cant access the rect transform on my item prefab
I'm sure it can but the code isn't making any attempt to do so right now

[wintry quarry]

stack trace and code, not sure what second one you mean

[tidal tide]

He could also fire the bullet from the muzzle normally and align it so it moves towards the center of the screen instead of straight forward from the muzzle

[wintry quarry]

right - but to do that you need to do a raycast from the center and find where it hits, then aim the bullet there

and you may still run into issues of the bullet hitting cover when your sights are peeking over cover in that case. Which is maybe fine since that can happen in real life too

[naive pawn]

it appears to be intended to be set here (or in this manner) https://github.com/DavidSouzaLD/InventoryTetris-Unity/blob/main/Scripts/Inventory.cs#L99

[wintry quarry]

I don't like that pattern 🤮

[naive pawn]

yeah yikes

[tidal tide]

True, I don't think any of them will really be perfect especially when near other objects but I guess it depends on how realistic they want it to be

[elder tusk]

The second issue I have is a null reference exception I get on line 330 of the Inventory script.

[wintry quarry]

yep there is no perfect answer. YOu just have to choose which tradeoffs you want to make

[elder tusk]

Im not sure what is null on 330

[wintry quarry]

Is your script identical to the github repo for that one?

Because it was different for Item

maybe share your version

[elder tusk]

Okay, Ill share just in case

[wintry quarry]

either way - a NRE is usually pretty easy to diagnose.

Identify all of the references that are being dereferenced in the line. For example if you see x.y, x is being dereferenced.
Then just put a breakpoint there or use Debug.Log to see which one of those references is null

then trace it back to where it should be set to see what's wrong

[naive pawn]

are these your own modifications?

[elder tusk]

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

[naive pawn]

i'd recommend just.. not doing that and perhaps using wrappers or your own classes adapted/inspired by that code
you'll just confuse yourself and others by saying you're using the scripts provided in that repo when you aren't

[wintry quarry]

Ok so the only reference on this line:

        if (slotPosition.x + width > gridReference.gridSize.x || slotPosition.x < 0)

is gridReference

[naive pawn]

which is a parameter

so it's from the calling code

[wintry quarry]

right so you should check the stack trace and see what's calling this and how it gets that reference

[naive pawn]

so you have to go a level deeper in the stack trace

[elder tusk]

is this the same place it takes me when i double click on the error? because it actually takes me to the Inventory Controller when i click on the error, or am I misunderstanding

[wintry quarry]

can you show the full error?

when you select it, you should see the full text at the bottom of the console window

[naive pawn]

when you double click the error you get the location of the last stack frame, the very top of the stack trace

[elder tusk]

oh so i get what you meant by deeper now

NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
Inventory.ReachedBoundary (UnityEngine.Vector2Int slotPosition, InventoryGrid gridReference, System.Int32 width, System.Int32 height) (at Assets/Inventory/Scripts/Inventory.cs:330)
InventoryController.Update () (at Assets/Inventory/Scripts/InventoryController.cs:25)

[naive pawn]

so the code that's erroring is called from InventoryController.cs:25

is that modified?

[elder tusk]

ill send mine just in case

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

[naive pawn]

so inventory.gridOnMouse isn't set

seems like it's supposed to be set here https://github.com/DavidSouzaLD/InventoryTetris-Unity/blob/main/Scripts/InventoryGrid.cs#L64

are you using the old or the new input system?

[elder tusk]

Im using the new input system

[naive pawn]

oh wait no that would be OnMouseX that has that issue..

not sure about IPointerEnterHandler...

[raven pilot]

Does prefixing a variable with a underscore vs not prefixig it with a underscore serve any puprose?

private InputAction _moveAction
// example 

[naive pawn]

it's convention to mark the variable as private

[wintry quarry]

no functional purpose in the compiler.

[raven pilot]

so what's the use case of private then?

[elder tusk]

do you think im better off using this code as almost like a reference and building my own inventory system from the ground up?

[naive pawn]

it's a vestige of an era where IDEs didn't exist, it made reading code easier since you didn't have to go back to check how the variable was declared
now we can just hover over the variable

[naive pawn]

it actually makes it private

[wintry quarry]

that's the part that actually does something

(although not really because private is the default if you don't put any access modifier 😛 )

[raven pilot]

Public is the default I'm aassuming.

[wintry quarry]

you assume wrong

[naive pawn]

well, if you don't like how it is at its base, then yes
like i said here #💻┃code-beginner message

[raven pilot]

I'm listening 🤔

[wintry quarry]

#💻┃code-beginner message

[naive pawn]

members in C# are private by default, adding private just makes it explicit

both adding that and the underscore prefix are style choices

[raven pilot]

ahh gotcha makes sense.

sorta

[naive pawn]

they don't have an effect, the only rule is to be consistent

[wintry quarry]

private is still a style choice but it feels more functional than the underscore because it's analagous to other modifiers like public, internal etc that actually do things

[raven pilot]

so you don't have to prefix it with a unscore it's just prefrence.

[elder tusk]

I appreciate the input, I like the base functionality of whats shown and its the beginning of what id want in my game. So I think I'll try to make my own system that way I understand it in and out. Thank you for your help!

[acoustic belfry]

Hey, how i can make this script, work on a 3D space?

Vector2 direction = objetivo.position - transform.position;
float directionX = Mathf.Sign(direction.x);
mortemRb.linearVelocity = new Vector2(directionX * speed, mortemRb.linearVelocity.y);

[rough granite]

change the 3 Vector2's into Vector3's

[acoustic belfry]

t h a t ' s a l l ?

this became easier than i thought

[rough granite]

and maybe change the directionX to Z, or well whatever way is meant to be forward

[acoustic belfry]

well, thanks :3

[naive pawn]

and might change directionX to a Vector2 (x and z) if it's intended to be a horizontal direction

[wintry quarry]

float directionX = Mathf.Sign(direction.x);
should be changed to a vector projection on the x/z plane

[naive pawn]

ooh, that's probably a better idea

would that be projecting onto Vector3.up?

[rough granite]

yeah was gonna say to do something similar but i wasn't sure what they were planning to do with it

[wintry quarry]

Yes ProjectOnPlane with Vector3.up as the normal

[lethal meadow]

Alright im modifying a RenderTexture inside a compute shader to output the height (0-1) value to my terrain.
when i do this :
heightMap[id.xy] = float4(x, y, 0, 1);
it displays a normal uv map (proving it works). seen in image 1

but when i do this:
heightMap[id.xy] = float4(height, height, height, 1);
it becomes very warped for some reason. (image 2)

here is the full code
https://paste.mod.gg/ptarneakknfz/0

the noise itself and vertex displacement works perfectly fine so its not wrong data

im probably being slow but i have no clue whats wrong

[rough granite]

just curious what's the value of height? and why is it used for the 3 values?

[lethal meadow]

the height value is 0-1 and right now its xyz so it outputs a black to white gradient

for testing

soon ill only put it in red when i know it works

it SHOULD look something like this

[wintry quarry]

i think your scaling is probably just weird

basically it looks like that image, just squished vertically

[rough granite]

that's what i was thinking as well

[wintry quarry]

doing height *= blendFactor; in a loop is probably part of it

[lethal meadow]

it only does that once

in the uv image does it look wrong to you?

i thought the black part was far too small

[wintry quarry]

it does have a break; true

if you play with noiseScale what happens?

[rough granite]

break; doesn't stop the whole for loop

[wintry quarry]

sure it does

[rough granite]

onlt that one instance it continues after

[wintry quarry]

you're thinking of continue;

[lethal meadow]

when i set nosieScale to 1 (originally 3) this happens

first image is what the texture is vs what the actual thing is

[wintry quarry]

sorry which one? The left or the right?

is the result

[lethal meadow]

the left

this one is the texture

hold on one second ill add some more detail

[rough granite]

seems i was :/

damn things confuse me too much

[wintry quarry]

wht happens if you output the result of your perlin noise function directly

without the getHeight wrapper or any of the other stuff

[lethal meadow]

same issue i tried that

oh i used the wrapped actually

one second

[wintry quarry]

then there's an issue with your perlin noise

[lethal meadow]

but it works fine on the vertices?

[rough granite]

have you tried logging what height is when it's used here
heightMap[id.xy] = float4(height, height, height, 1);

[wintry quarry]

I mean it's a shader, logging isn't really a thing

the texture outputs are the logs

[lethal meadow]

im using the same height variable for the vertex displacement and the noise generates fine

[rough granite]

fair but it would show in the inspector if it was public right?

[rough granite]

sorry a property, i don't use shaders much

[wintry quarry]

No... there is no inspector. Shader programs run in parallel on thousands of pixels at once

[lethal meadow]

the noise works fine

i dont know why the texture isnt

i tried what you said about using just the perlin2d function though and it generates the same issue

[wintry quarry]

If you replace getHeight with this temporarily:

float getHeight(float2 pos)
{
    return sin(pos.x * 0.1) * cos(pos.y * 0.1) * 0.5 + 0.5;
}

What happens?

[lethal meadow]

ive just changed the colors so appologies for that

im trying to cut a path into the terrain which is why im doing this nightmare

ive made it so it writes that part as green

so the green stuff at the bottom SHOULD be inside the path?

[strange kelp]

Guys, how do I create a clone of a class object?
Like an independant clone of the same class with the same values. I need it to simulate orbits

[wintry quarry]

1. Consider using a struct instead and then you get that behavior for free with =
2. Create a copy constructor or a function to copy it.
3. Make all the values serializable and use a serialization framework to copy it.

[strange kelp]

Oh thanks, I'm gonna try doing that

[wintry quarry]

those are 3 different options, by the way

[strange kelp]

Alright

[celest ocean]

so what language does unity support that is good for beginners?

[strange kelp]

C#

[celest ocean]

👍

[strange kelp]

Tbh, idk if unity supports other languages than C# without some random plugin

[wintry quarry]

Unity realistically only has one programming language

[strange kelp]

I know godot has more than 1 supported

[celest ocean]

did unreal support multiple then?

[strange kelp]

Idk, it uses c++ i think

[wintry quarry]

Unreal used to support multiple
Unity used to support multiple

both of them now consolidated to one

[celest ocean]

alr then

[strange kelp]

C# is a bit better imo, it got foreach loops

[celest ocean]

say do any of u have some ideas for an game tht is similar to stardew walley in terms of features

[wintry quarry]

Stardew Valley in space

[celest ocean]

features not idea

[strange kelp]

stardew valley in germany

oktoberfest event

beer

[rough granite]

stardew valley in my backyard

[strange kelp]

drunk people around the world

[naive pawn]

so does c++

[celest ocean]

my idea is tht player is an forger and u can sell ur creations for money or save em and go to a dungeon for more loot

[strange kelp]

Wait what? 😭

[celest ocean]

beer and geting drunk could be a good idea tho

[strange kelp]

🤣

more drunk = more screen distortion

[slow hollow]

might be a dumb question but: how do you assert that you calculated ur normals correctly on terrain?

[naive pawn]

most languages do

[celest ocean]

another feature is tht later player can monopolyse some buildings for npc like entry fee or sth

[strange kelp]

I haven't used most languages, only python, lua, c++ and c#
And Kerboscript

[naive pawn]

but the syntax/name is different in every language

[rough granite]

this is the wrong place to talk about game ideas

[strange kelp]

[celest ocean]

i was thinking tht 1 minecraft mod has the feature when u drink u get dizzy and ull be teleported somewhere randomly

why is it 0.1 in unity and why setting acceleration to 1 or higher will make the character movement clanky? (i'm not smart enough to understand it)

[silver fern]

I have a WeaponController firing an AttackOne Unity Event. If I understood it correctly, I have to drag the script with the function I want to trigger into the event field in the editor, but when I do that it doesn't show me the methods of that script. How do I define a method that can be triggered by that Unity Event?

[wintry quarry]

it's 0.1 because that's what you set it to in the inspector

Why is this wrong? Sorry for german warning btw, gonna change language later

[naive pawn]

doesn't the error tell you exactly why it's wrong

orbit is public, but part of its type is not

[wintry quarry]

you can't have a public list of Orbit_segment since Orbit_segment is private

[silver fern]

the struct has to be public too

[strange kelp]

Oh, bruh

is that not what the error says

[strange kelp]

Nah, not realy

[silver fern]

"Inconsistent accessibility"

a bit cryptic

[strange kelp]

It says less accessable, too cryptic for me tbh

[wintry quarry]

well "access modifiers" are things like private public

so it's saying Orbit_segment is less accessible than orbit which is a problem

[strange kelp]

First or second time having this error, pretty new to c# and unity in general
gonna remember that

Dang, rewriting this entire physics script was the best decision I've made so far. I can literally just make a loop and calculate the orbit from that lol

[raven pilot]

Think of Private as like your bedroom and public as the front porch is how I've started to remember.

[strange kelp]

Oh, I think of it as local variables in lua

or indentation levels, like in python I thnk

[naive pawn]

no, those are very separate concepts

that is scoping

[strange kelp]

Eh, works for me

[keen dew]

Unrelated and unsolicited advice, but that struct would typically be either defined outside the class (and named OrbitSegment) or if it's inside the class it can just be called Segment (so that its full name is Orbit.Segment instead of Orbit.Orbit_segment)

[raven pilot]

that's one way, I'm new to the whole programming all together, no programming knowledge or computer science so tryna use real world examples with certain modifiers etc

[naive pawn]

scoping is about what you're thinking about at a given time
accessibility level is about what info you give to other people (or allow other people to change)

[strange kelp]

Gonna change that to segment, thanks

[naive pawn]

to generalize the above advice a bit - types are by convention always PascalCase

[silver fern]

is a general question about events code talk or unity talk?

[strange kelp]

I used to do that in python, then i "read" the conventions and switched_to_this

[naive pawn]

that's gonna be a 😬 when you have a deep misunderstanding because you conflate those separate concepts

[timber tide]

python's concept of access is very loose and unlike c# it's not enforced

[naive pawn]

python doesn't have access levels

it's all convention, no?

[timber tide]

pretty much without plugins / editors

[naive pawn]

eh, ask first and we'll go from there. it might relate to other things

[strange kelp]

Not that the admin is gonna come again and mute us

[naive pawn]

jesus christ stop whining

[silver fern]

if I make a multiplayer game, and two players have events with the same name, will unity still keep them separate or will they trigger other people's listeners?

[wintry quarry]

Yep. Underscores are meant to be private by convention and it's only enforced by static analysis tools.

[wintry quarry]

What do you mean by events with the same name? In what context?

[naive pawn]

depends on how you trigger the event

[wintry quarry]

What kind of events

[naive pawn]

if it's by name, then yeah i guess it would? but usually it shouldn't be by name, or at least not just by name

[strange kelp]

I think yes if they're local and not over the network or smth
never used events in unity

[silver fern]

for example, my weapon controller fires an AttackOne event on button press, and then the attack script listens for that event and executes the attack. but I meant for the weapon controller to be general purpose and shared, so they all would fire the event with that name

[wintry quarry]

What kind of event

And how is it listening

[silver fern]

Unity Event

[wintry quarry]

And is it a static event

Or an instance variable

Unity events are not fired or subscribed to by name

It will trigger whatever specific listeners you have added in the inspector or in code.

[strange kelp]

why don't you just try it

[silver fern]

ah I see cool

[silver fern]

because multiplayer functionality isnt implemented yet

[strange kelp]

in germany we say "trying > studying(like in university)"

[wintry quarry]

If each player has their own weapon controller with its own listener, no the paths won't magically cross

[naive pawn]

usually it'd be by reference, like with delegates in this case
so the question then becomes - does everyone share the delegate, or does everyone have their own

[silver fern]

also, if I then want to make an event that can be listened to by other players, I'd have to use a different kind of event right?

idk if it even makes sense to do that tbh

[timber tide]

no, everyone gets the same game version with their own same events

[wintry quarry]

You also need to tell us if this is a local or network multiplayer game

[timber tide]

oh yeah that's true. If it's local you can run into problems

[silver fern]

network, although maybe it could have local too

[wintry quarry]

Not a different kind of event. Everyone just needs to reference the same event.

[wintry quarry]

Networked no nothing of the sort will work

You need to think about RPCs for communication over the network

Or network variables

aside from explicitly networked things, there is no communication between clients in a networked game

[silver fern]

I think it will probably be a p2p type game

[timber tide]

only problem with local is if you do use a global event manager with two similar controllers, but not hard to not code yourself into that situation

[wintry quarry]

regardless of the network topology, nothing goes over the network that isn't explicitly networked

[silver fern]

alright cool

thanks

[brave robin]

Trying out Unity's awaitables. For something like this, is there a return type or method I can use to exit out of this method that would remove the warning? Not every instance of this method needs an await, but some do

Unitask had a way, but can't seem to find the counterpart in this framework

[grand snow]

you can return default as they dont have a static var like unitask does for a complete task

[naive pawn]

what's the warning, btw?

[grand snow]

the warning will be that the function does not await so its synchronous

so you can remove the async keyword and return a task object instead

[brave robin]

return default only works if I remove async from the signature
But problem there is that the method is being awaited on, and return default breaks it and it stops ther

[grand snow]

its fine

Oh, then that means a new awaitable instance is not in a complete state

unitask is fine

[brave robin]

What would the syntax for that be?

[grand snow]

with uni task its:

public override UniTask Thing()
{
  return UniTask.CompletedTask;
}

https://github.com/Cysharp/UniTask/blob/f213ff497e4ff462a77319cf677cf20cc0860ca9/src/UniTask/Assets/Plugins/UniTask/Runtime/UniTask.Factory.cs#L28

and we can see from the src its actually just a new UniTask instance

so unity fucked up somehow

[brave robin]

I know for Unitask, I'm asking about Unity's awaitable framework

[grand snow]

no idea they have nothing similar listed in their docs

you can try doing return new Awaitable() instead?

but if it gets awaited forever then its not going to fly

[brave robin]

Nope, doesn't like that either
Ah well, back to Unitask

[grand snow]

Unity plz fucking finish a feature

unitask is just better it has way more features making it a good Task replacement

[rich adder]

genuinely curious, what is the point of having async function without awaiting anything or why does it matter if the warning stays ?

[grand snow]

its when you are overriding something that returns a task

some things may need async some may not

[rich adder]

oh soo it seems to just be a superficial thing not wanting the IDE warn about this function being run as Sync not Async

[umbral hound]

Hey got a question. Please ping me if you answer, but I know UnityAction is a delegate, but what is UnityAction<> for? For example, UnityAction<float, string>

[rich adder]

yeah this is painful when doing Unity events like button you cant attach a Task method and you need to do async void which is not recommended but we have no choices for UI event callbacks usually

[grand snow]

well yea but also better I think if you just return a task without async manually as it may simplify the compiled code

[grand snow]

Yea unitask has helpers so you can avoid a () => MyAsyncThingy().Forget() (UniTask.UnityAction)

[rich adder]

UnityAction is the same thing as System.Action except its running through unitys event system iirc

[umbral hound]

I know but I meant the values part, the <> parts

Because I saw that in Unity's FPS Microgame

I was just curious what those do

[rich adder]

those are just the types you want to pass through the event

if you did Action<string> then a string is expected when you do Invoke

[grand snow]

its the generic type argument that specifies the first event arg type

[umbral hound]

Okay, and just to clarify, UnityAction is the thing in the inspector that you can tie to a certain script or a gameobject, etc right?

[rich adder]

no thats UnityEvent

[grand snow]

yea, unity event uses the UnityAction delegate type

a delegate type is just a definition of a function signature

if this confuses you then you can research c# delegates and or c# Action

[umbral hound]

Huh, anyone have documentation on UnityAction I can read? I know the documentation page of it, but I wanna see further examples for how it's used

[rich adder]

most times you should just use System.Action

[wintry quarry]

It's just a plain delegate. It's identical to System.Action

[grand snow]

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/programming-guide/delegates/using-delegates delegates
https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Events.UnityEvent.html

[rich adder]

UnityEvent if you need inspector . everything else stick to Action or your custom Delegate

[grand snow]

public event Action myEvent 🙂 fast code event
public UnityEvent myUnityEvent; mid speed code event and slow inspector subscriptions 😐

public Action foobar; delegate abuse please seek help

[rich adder]

UnityEvent. is really good when doing assets / modular

[naive pawn]

what is public UnityAction baz; in that case?

[rich adder]

"oops we accidentally copied Action" /s

[grand snow]

😐 what cursed thing have you brought upon this land

[lethal meadow]

alright im gonna post this one last time before i completely give up even considering it for today
this is my compute shader
https://paste.mod.gg/rrymxsdcvpat/0

how would i go about adding a texture, in which i add the height value as a color? without causing this weird artifacting

the "weird artifacting" is in the replied message

[rich adder]

#1390346776804069396 ?

[grand snow]

anyway with normal c# events the delegate type can be anything, UnityAction, Action, your own its all the same

[lethal meadow]

its more of a code issue no?

[rich adder]

well shader code normally went in #archived-shaders but I guess this is now #1390346776804069396

[umbral hound]

I see now. I just watched a video on it. For example, if you have UnityAction<float> when you invoke that action, you must insert a float value when you invoke it

[rich adder]

pretty much

generic <T> you give the type

[grand snow]

dang guess i was teaching no one

[rich adder]

its okay cause I made the same exact example instead of float used string but that kinda flew out the window ig lol

[umbral hound]

Oh I apologize, I didn't even see your message

[lethal meadow]

yeah its just so basic though i think its all good here

i have absolutely not a clue why it wasnt working

hoping someone with more braincells than me can figure it out

[rich adder]

If I knew shader code I'd chime in lolno idea sry hence why I think someone in that forum might have more xp

[lethal meadow]

nah its all good

the data works and the texture coordinates work but put it together and it just doesnt

[rich adder]

overriding it or something ?

[lethal meadow]

nope

i tried remakign the data before i assign it and it had the same issue

[rich adder]

dam UnityAction only gives you 4 Args ? fuckn amateurs..
https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Events.UnityAction_4.html

Microsoft says 16
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.action-16?view=net-9.0

if you need 16 args in an action...something is wonky with your code or sum..

[grand snow]

well you can define your own delegate type so its not really an issue (except with UnityEvent specifically)

[rich adder]

just strange giving someone 16 args I wonder who requested that lol like just make struct bruh..

[naive pawn]

defining your own delegates is for wimps, in this household we use currying 💪

Action<T> is all we need

that's just what lambda calculus is, huh

[acoustic belfry]

what is the replacement of rb.drag, rb.linearDamping?

[rich adder]

yes

[acoustic belfry]

thanks :3

[terse forge]

Did you manage to fix this?

[wintry quarry]

If you're using Cinemachine 3 the new namespace is now Unity.Cinemachine

additionally - much of the API has changed, so it's likely things will have to change other than the using statement

But yeah the link boxfriend supplied above is relevant: https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.cinemachine@3.1/manual/CinemachineUpgradeFrom2.html

[rugged beacon]

how do you change cursor on a button? do you just have a script chagne the cursor on every button ?

[rich adder]

use event system raycast and see its hovering over a Button type if so switch out cursor

or use IpointerEnter

[wintry quarry]

IPointerEnterHandler/IPointerExitHandler

[rugged beacon]

so first one is update() on empty object and second its still script on everybutton?

[cosmic dagger]

Pointer events FTW!

[rugged beacon]

is pointer event basically script on every button ?

[wintry quarry]

I would write one script that allows you to assign textures for mouseover and just put that same script everywhere you need it

make heavy use of prefabs to simplify the authorship process

[acoustic belfry]

i dont know why my 3D character has a floaty jump, like if were on the moon

[remote sparrow]

Just go to the rigidbody and increase the mass and gravity scale to your liking

[acoustic belfry]

increasing the mass makes it act weird, tho i didnt thought of the gravity, thanks

how i modify the gravity?

[remote sparrow]

It should be in the rigidbody component no?

[acoustic belfry]

... no?

[remote sparrow]

Oh mb but u can check the project settings by going to edit in the top

Also can u send me the script I wanna see how your jump works

[acoustic belfry]

sure https://paste.ofcode.org/YVDKfu6uhmDHCSXDmC4kiF

[rich ice]

that's only for the 2d rigidbody

[acoustic belfry]

but i mean, why this happens with default gravity?

wouldn't default gravity just well, make things fall, normally?

[rich ice]

well, it's not gravity causing the issues but instead how you're handling your jump in the code

changing the gravity will definitely make it feel less floaty, will also make it so you dont jump as high though

[remote sparrow]

I think u might have to use like the time.deltaTime thing

[rich ice]

pretty sure most games like mario increase the fall speed artificially to make the jump feel less floaty. platformers are a surprisingly nuanced genre though so there's a range of different ways to fix it

[acoustic belfry]

wat

[rich adder]

how do you move player , code wise

[acoustic belfry]

all is here https://paste.ofcode.org/YVDKfu6uhmDHCSXDmC4kiF

[remote sparrow]

I don't have access to my computer rn but I think u can just look that up on the unity docs

[rich ice]

deltaTime just manages frame dependency in your code. it wont affect how floaty the jump feels. jonas tyroller has a great video on deltaTime usage, if you want to learn more

[rich adder]

why do you have this rb.AddForce(moveDirection.normalized * moveSpeed * 10f);

mixed with rb.linearVelocity = new Vector3(limitedVel.x, rb.linearVelocity.y, limitedVel.z);

[wintry quarry]

First is for movement.
Second is to set a speed limit

[acoustic belfry]

for movement

[remote sparrow]

I thought it was if you have a low frame rate it would just slow that game down and that might be the reason for the floaty jump but delta time fixes that

[rich adder]

oh was looking at the wrong methodm

[acoustic belfry]

and make it dont go nuts

oh you mean movement2 and movement?

i was experimenting wich movement was better

as you can see, there's nothing that calls movement2

[rich adder]

yea saw you had two my mistake

[acoustic belfry]

so i should just modify the gravity?

i mean cuz modifing the mass i think makes it slower :<

[rich adder]

modifying mass has no effect on how it falls

[acoustic belfry]

[rich ice]

yup, that's what i meant earlier ^^^
making the player fall faster lets the player do their next input faster. good for fast platforming if you want to give the player more time to react faster to obstacles.

[acoustic belfry]

How i do so?

[wintry quarry]

famously so

ever heard of the hammer and feather experiment?

[short condor]

Does anyone know what a boocean is, it keeps popping up

boolean is a data type that is either true or false

it can only have two values, true or false

No it says boocean

[wintry quarry]

that's not a thing I'm aware of. Give us some context?

popping up where?

Like in mario.

I dont know

I just want to fix my fall

Or i should just modify the gravity?

[teal viper]

You'll need to explain the issue that you're trying to fix.

[rich ice]

<@&502884371011731486> they're trolling, also not the first spam/troll message they sent (message that was deleted earlier and the japanese shitpost in #💻┃unity-talk which was also spammed but prompty deleted by dyno)

no one here is going to help via DMs. if you have a question or want to help, just use the correct channel

[rich adder]

sounds like weird scam / phishing

[hardy spear]

I wanna work unity project, hdid?

[acoustic belfry]

The thing we were speaking before

The player when jumps falls very slowly

A way to fix it is modifing the whole game's gravity, but i feel like that might be too extreme

[teal viper]

Assuming the objects size/scale is normal and you let physics control the object falling, it should be falling at the same speed/acceleration as in real life.

Games like Mario often have gravity increased

[acoustic belfry]

It doesnt

It doesnt

[rich ice]

me and krish also posted a solution which should fix the floaty jumps.
should just be able to add some artificial gravity with something like this

if(rb.linearVelocity.y < 0)
   rb.AddForce(Vector3.down * fallSpeed)

[acoustic belfry]

Define Normal

[teal viper]

Then you're either interfering with physics or have some damping/drag settings

[acoustic belfry]

I didnt touched a thing on sizes if thats what you refer

I have some drag things in code

Tho

I use it for fox the sliperring

And when i set it to zero the fall keeps slow

[teal viper]

normal is accelerating at ~9.81 m/s^2

minus air friction

[acoustic belfry]

Ah, you meqnt gravity. I meant objects size

[teal viper]

Normal character size is like 2 units

which is roughly equivalent to 2 meters.

[acoustic belfry]

2 units?

Mine is 1

[teal viper]

Anywhere in the range of 0.5-2 would be fine. Buf if it's scaled up to like 100s units, it would look like it's falling slower simple due to the scale

[acoustic belfry]

O h

[acoustic belfry]

i deleted the linearDump function, is the same

still falls slowly

[teal viper]

You'll need to provide some more details.
For starters a video of the issue would help.

[acoustic belfry]

here

[acoustic belfry]

what i did wrong? i mean cuz, under my opinion, everything should be fine

[teal viper]

Take a screenshot/video of the rb inspector during the fall/jump

[acoustic belfry]

in air

in ground

[acoustic belfry]

here's the screenshot

[teal viper]

And the drag is 0 all the way from starting the jump to landing on the ground?

[acoustic belfry]

yep

[teal viper]

The falling speed seem about right I think.

[acoustic belfry]

but doesn't feel like is like too floaty? like if it were on the moon?

[acoustic belfry]

mmm idk, something tells me is slighty wrong

[teal viper]

No. It seems to align. Check out this video. They're throwing a ball from 2 meters and it takes around .62 sec to fall down.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6PiACgsutGw&ab_channel=PhysicsBurns(RaymondBurns)

Then look at the attached video where I drop a .1 scaled sphere(basically 10 cm diameter I think). It takes around the same time to fall from 2 units height. The same is true for the capsule.

[acoustic belfry]

O h

But i mean. Then how i should do for make it jump and fall faster?

[teal viper]

As I said earlier, games like mario artifically increase the gravity constant.

Fall speed in mario is not realistic

So it's fine to adjust the gravity if your game requires it

Or you can add extra downwards force during the fall, just like @rich ice suggested.

[rich ice]

yup, should be something like this

if(rb.linearVelocity.y < 0)
   rb.AddForce(Vector3.down * fallSpeed)

may also want to check if the player is grounded, to account for slopes.

[acoustic belfry]

oh

thanks
:3

[teal viper]

It might also be way simpler in mario. It might be a constant speed throughout the fall

In real time(and unity physics) objects are accelerating as they fall, so the initial fall speed is very small, but as the object continues to fall, it grows more and more

[acoustic belfry]

oh

interesting

[teal viper]

Many platformers would prefer a constant fall speed over the realistic model

Or ast least some modified form of it

[acoustic belfry]

and Unity has a realistic model for default, isnt?

[teal viper]

Yep.

[acoustic belfry]

good

well, thanks a lot

[teal viper]

Well, it's a simulation, so it's not 100% realistic.

[acoustic belfry]

but is more realistic than a plataformer

[teal viper]

But it's way closer to realism than what you have in many platformers

[acoustic belfry]

yeah

[floral trout]

I hope this is the right place. Im making a 4x4x4 cube made of basic cube gameobjects, that are childed to an empty parent. Im trying to rotate the entire 4x4x4 cube around its center (0,0,0) and have it spin but whenever i mess with the rotation it ends up tilted and not rotating the way i want it to.

[keen dew]

You'll have to show the code and explain more clearly what you want it to do and what it does now

[rich ice]

do you mean tilted like this?

[spring otter]

A tesseract?

[floral trout]

i managed to get it to spin correctly on the x axis changing values cube vector offsets, parent's position, etc and now im 90% sure its the cube generation being wrong.(example of it spinning incorrectly)

[rich ice]

change this to pivot

[floral trout]

holy easy fix

would that also apply to "parent.transform.Rotate(Vector3.right, speed);" or would i need to specify pivot somehow?

[rich ice]

transform.Rotate always uses the objects default pivot.

[keen dew]

That setting only changes where the transform widget is shown in the editor. It has no other effect

[floral trout]

that toggle was screwing up my testing, but i think im the right track now, ty fellas

why i am getting null reference exception when loading unity interstitial ads

that's not much info to go off of

[glossy turtle]

this is the error and ad is not showing.

[naive pawn]

that sounds like perhaps you haven't set a reference as expected

[glossy turtle]

what kind of reference because i have rechecked the adunit ids and can you explain please.

[naive pawn]

a serialized reference in the inspector

but this is a guess since i don't have all the info

you'd have to go check the line that's triggering the error, see which values are possibly null, and trace them back to where they should be defined or provided from

I have the issue with inconsistent jumping again, and although now it's way less blatant, on rare occasion the character jumps noticeably higher than it should. I added a bunch of code since the last time I had this issue so i'm not sure what the mistake is this time.
https://paste.ofcode.org/mzLQJwF4VnPXYAyPgd9Sjk

Also is there something I can use that's more precise than the Lerp function for decceleration ? because although the character stops moving when there is no input the velocity values never quite reach 0

[hexed terrace]

You will always think you're grounded

[rotund root]

so it wont update until i collide with other things?

[wintry quarry]

Read your code. For grounded to become false you would need to collide with something that has a tag other than the grounded tag.

Is that happening? No. So it won't become false

[hot wadi]

That's why OnCollisionExit is needed

[wintry quarry]

Code only does what you tell it to do

[rotund root]

what's that?

[wintry quarry]

Have you actually read your code? It's there in option 1

[rotund root]

oh i didn't notice that

[hot wadi]

OnCollisionEnter only called when u collide. If u stay in the air, it's not called, no comparison is made, hence isGrounded keeps its last value unless u change it elsewhere in the code.

[lapis pond]

Can someone help me why my onmousedown doesn't work?
`using UnityEngine;

public class ClickOnBird : MonoBehaviour
{
void OnMouseDown()
{
Debug.Log("Hello");
}
}`

[naive pawn]

are you using old or new input system

[lapis pond]

I don't know, I am using the default one

[naive pawn]

default of which version? it recently changed

[wintry quarry]

Which unity version

[lapis pond]

Input System Package (new), is this what I am looking for?

[wintry quarry]

Yep, that's why

Switch to IPointerDownHandler

[naive pawn]

yeah that doesn't work with OnMouseX

[wintry quarry]

(Google how to use that)

[naive pawn]

this, or switch input handling to the old one

[wintry quarry]

Yes or that

But that has larger consequences

[naive pawn]

i mean if they're following a tutorial it'd probably be better to go with what the tutorial's doing

just for now while you're using the tutorial

[wintry quarry]

Well they're already using the wrong Unity version for that 😛

[lapis pond]

I'll try that, I am not following a tutorial, I wanted to try unity out because I've been learning c# on a basic level, like making databases in wpf and stuff, and I am trying to make like blackjack and stuff to learn

[shell sorrel]

if thats the case IPointerDownHandler is what you want

for it to work you will also need to have the correct raycaster on your camera, is this for a UI object, a 2d object or a 3d object?

[wintry quarry]

(also an event system)

[lapis pond]

I've got it working, added an event system and a raycaster on the camera, I am working with an empty thing that has a sprite renderer

I am probably making it harder for myself not using the UI system

[rancid tinsel]

I recently learned how to use "=>", and it seems a bit too good to be true. Is there any issue with using it like I did here?

[slender nymph]

that's just a read only property, it's nothing all that special

[rancid tinsel]

It does make it so I don't need to set "waveFinished" in a method though - I'm just wondering if there is any reason I shouldn't do that I guess

[sour fulcrum]

It’s typical to use a CapitalThere for properties like you would functions btw

[rancid tinsel]

oh yeah true

[wintry quarry]

It's the same as a function that runs that expression every time

Nothing more than a shortcut

Note it's not storing anything

[sour fulcrum]

Nope, very common and very great. On more expensive conditionals you might prefer to cache it via setting a manual field

[rancid tinsel]

okay so let's say it was a more expensive conditional - it would make more sense to actually store it, and therefore we don't run the method every frame in update for example

right?

[wintry quarry]

Potentially

[ivory bobcat]

If they're explicitly needing an up to date expression though, is fine.

[wintry quarry]

It depends on the access pattern

[sour fulcrum]

Yeah but like don’t overthink how expensive we’re talking about here, you can spend a lot on dumb checks and iteration type stuff for properties like this

[wintry quarry]

If you write a lot more than you read, then no sense caching.

If you read a lot more than you write, it can make sense to cache

[rancid tinsel]

okay so as a rule of thumb - if it will be called in update, I should probaby store the value normally

[wintry quarry]

Not necessarily

Once per frame is still really slow and infrequent in computing terms

If you did it 40,000 times per frame, sure

[rancid tinsel]

I know, I just mean more broadly in terms of building habits

[sour fulcrum]

If it’s in update and doing multiple layers of iteration maybe

[rancid tinsel]

I'm prone to adopting something and paying the price later lol

[wintry quarry]

I think it would be a mistake to make a variable for this particular thing as you're duplicating state

[ivory bobcat]

It's not significant to performance

[sour fulcrum]

You can get away with a lot here, these types of conditionals are crumbs compared to anything actually problematic

[ivory bobcat]

Just use whatever's readable for you and your team

[rancid tinsel]

oh yeah because I can just check whether spawnedEnemies.count == 0 directly

[rancid tinsel]

like SplineAnimate 😢

[wintry quarry]

Yeah and this is just a shortcut to that

With a variable you risk them going out of sync

[sour fulcrum]

This is also powerful if you theoretically don’t care who wants to see if the wave is finished but don’t want strangers touching that list directly

[rancid tinsel]

Btw what on earth is up with SplineAnimate component? I recently made a game for a gamejam using Splines, and it straight up drops 170fps when running

[ivory bobcat]

It's private though so not applicable but yes

[final kestrel]

I am watching a video and see the person using constructors on MonoBehaviour derived classes. Is there really a need for that when you can just Initialize them on awake?

[polar acorn]

Not only is there not a need for that, you literally cannot

[quick fractal]

You should generally avoid using constructors with that, a method like Init(custom params) will work fine

[burnt perch]

Im looking to make a dialogue mechanic in my "Mostly UI stuff" game. Can someone recommend me a good youtube tutorial for creating dialogue, similar to how Papers Please dialogue works? If not, any dialogue tutorial can work

[final kestrel]

All right. Thanks

[quick fractal]

If you make your Init method return itself you can do the same as a constructor too :catye

Awh damn no custom emojis 😞

[final kestrel]

Yeah it got me confused a bit. I think they never use it themselves either. Just making Set methods afterwards...

[polar acorn]

[final kestrel]

These two dimensional arrays making me so confused too smh

[polar acorn]

Seems like a bad tutorial

[final kestrel]

Yeah I think.

[quick fractal]

I assume I need to get rid of this green leaf then 😡

I shall continue to cope, in that case..

[burnt perch]

Is there a way to hide thing in editor without inactivating them? I dont want to have to activate my fade panel everytime I go test and deactivate it when in editor so I can see stuff

[frosty hound]

Press H on the selected object to hide hierarchy things without actually turning them off.

[covert sinew]

Okay, so I'm kind of losing my mind here, or at least, it feels like I'm going crazy.

I need a way to deep clone a class without manually defining everything that will be cloned in it. Just- Clone every single thing, all the references get clones, everything.

And yet, as far as I've been able to find, this is just- seemingly impossible? The closest I've found is writing a class to JSON, then basically reversing that to get a new instance of the class, but that seems ridiculous and inefficient.

There are ways to clone Monobehaviors and Gameobjects, but I don't need those, I just need a normal, ordinary class, that holds references to normal, ordinary classes, ect ect, and a way to just clone the entire hierarchy from top to bottom.

[rich adder]

so a Deep Copy?

[patent wedge]

why does my public list when reloading the scene become empty?

[covert sinew]

Yes. Pretty much exactly that.

[slender nymph]

either something is clearing it, or it isn't empty and just filled with missing objects because it's on a DDOL object and referencing things that were destroyed when the scene was

[covert sinew]

If you're modifying it while the scene is playing, or modifying it through a script running in the editor without marking it as dirty, the changes can get lost. There might be other causes, but that's usually what happens when my lists get messed up.

[sour fulcrum]

Whats causing it

[rich adder]

oh okay, have you looked into how to perform a deep copy in c# ?

[covert sinew]

I have looked into it, but all the resources I've found basically say you need to manually implement every layer of the copying process, which is not really feasible, for my usecase.

(Context, if it's absolutely needed: I'm trying to clone "Equipment" in my game that has some pretty beefy hierarchys of references self contained within it, which would mean for a fully manual cloning method, I'd end up with an extremely high maintenance problem when trying to modify it at all. The Equipment itself is a normal class, not derived from Unity's Monobehavior or Object classes, currently)

[sour fulcrum]

Not to hit you with the stack overflow question but do you need to do it this way?

[patent wedge]

i still don't know why unity is deleting my list after refreshing the scene?

[rich adder]

yeah its common to do it that way , are Serialize/JSON not feasable for you ? imo they're the most straight forward way

[rich adder]

I mean a couple of things have been asked you did not answer , what types of objects are in the list? where is this list? etc.. you cannot assume we know everything about your setup

[patent wedge]

Audioclips, i am using a unity editor only feature to auto fill them in the editor

[strange kelp]

Do you even need to realy copy all of that?

[rich adder]

then thats the first place to look into. Sounds like it might be refilling with blanks

[covert sinew]

It is absolutely needed, unfortunately. My game currently has a custom crafting mechanic, which means items need to be able to know their relationships with one another, and also be copied from template assets without decently nightmarish consequences.

I don't usually like clarifying what my usecase is, to avoid questions like this bogging down the solution.

if JSON works, I might have to use that, I suppose.

[patent wedge]

no it's on a context menu.

[rich adder]

you said editor only feature to autofill ?

[patent wedge]

i just fixed it by moving something in the list and now it just works!

[rich adder]

JSON / any serialization format will most definitely work

[strange kelp]

Custom crafting in like you can craft your own stuff, without you having to make the recepie?

[sour fulcrum]

I could be ignorant on this but this doesn’t necessarily sound like something the individual pieces have to own? Eg. This doesn’t need to be stored in a way thats nested if its owned by the surface layer

[covert sinew]

Spore Style crafting.

Items need to know their connected relationships, in order to spawn them from data during battles.

I have the system already functional, but there's issues with, like I said, cloning these hierarchies when needed.

[rich adder]

this is basically a save system needed?

I think serialization / recreating it that way is the most straightforward

[covert sinew]

I have a save system, already, the hierarchy cloning is for editing safety, and certain Unity Editor functionalities, like accessing immutable templates to make copies of for various purposes.

But yes, I'll try serialization. Thank you very much.

[rich adder]

cool! let us know how it works out 🙂

[strange kelp]

Uh, time to code my orbit visualization 😭

[waxen glacier]

Would this work well to avoid diagonal movement being faster than vertical and horizontal movement ?
https://paste.ofcode.org/34MaU6WdfQV3jtp5a5rzgdN

[strange kelp]

Propably

[waxen glacier]

for some reason setting it to just 1 didnt seem to change anything

but setting it to 1f or any other value works

[strange kelp]

yeah, vectors work with floats

[keen dew]

This only works if the expected maximum velocity to each direction is 1

[waxen glacier]

so should I set it to the maximum velocity for going forward since i dont want diagonal movement going over that ?

[keen dew]

yes

[strange kelp]

Also, is the way to go imo

[waxen glacier]

Alright thanks, I was starting to loose my mind over this, gonna have to rework some of the code so it works with sprinting too

[strange kelp]

You already got the script, so change it and test it. Doesn't take very long, it takes longer to ask here I think

[keen dew]

Usually you'd clamp the input, not the final velocity

[waxen glacier]

Yeah dw i'm already workin on it

[waxen glacier]

lemme try that actually

doesnt seem to work for some reason

ah yeah i get why now, my movement works a little differently, so i'll just stick to what i was gonna do

[thick breach]

Oh okay i sorry , i don't know

[tiny bloom]

guys how do u mark a whole scene as DontDestroyOnLoad?

[naive pawn]

DontDestroyOnLoad is per-gameobject, you would have to loop through root objects

[strange kelp]

Sup yall
So I need to clone a class with the following attributes:

public List<Physics_object> physics_objects;
public Physics_object center;
public const double gravitational_constant = 6.67430e-11;

Physics_object:

public Physics.body_type body_type = Physics.body_type.Planet;
public double mass = 1;
public Vector3 size = new(1, 1, 1);
public Vector3 position = new(0, 0, 0);
public Vector3 velocity = new(0, 0, 0);
public float sphere_of_influence = 100; // The range where vessels only get influenced by this body. Only planets have this attribute.

BUT: Physics_object is a monobehaviour. From what I've read, you can't copy them regularely, but you have to copy the whole gameobject it's parented to. How would I integrate it into this clone function?

public Physics_object Clone()
{
    return new Physics_object
    {
        position = this.position,
        velocity = this.velocity,
        size = this.size,
        mass = this.mass,
        body_type = this.body_type,
        sphere_of_influence = this.sphere_of_influence
    };
}

[naive pawn]

but why not just make the entire scene persistent at that point

load other scenes additively

[naive pawn]

you want a deep clone?

[strange kelp]

Yes, I need one

[naive pawn]

Instantiate lets you clone gameobjects (or components - it'll clone the gameobject that the component belongs to) including all their components and children

[tiny bloom]

that's what im trying to do
i want one presistent scene where i load important stuff once the game begins
then scenes per mode
like MainMenu, Level1 scenes

[naive pawn]

you can't use new on a MonoBehaviour-derived class and expect it to work, btw.

[naive pawn]

yeah, you don't use DDOL for that, you just load other scenes additively

[strange kelp]

I already saw that online, but should I then simply return the Instantiate(blablabla).GetComponent<Physics_object>() or smth

[naive pawn]

and then unload them as necessary

[naive pawn]

pretty much, though you'd be passing the Physics_object to Instantiate instead and getting the corresponding component back instead

though keep in mind - with this pretty naive approach, you'll be duplicating any objects that are referenced in separate places

[strange kelp]

Duplicate in the term of making new gameobjects in the scene?

[naive pawn]

is that initial class not a MonoBehaviour? if it is you might be able to just Instantiate that
i think the references should work if they're all children of that object

[strange kelp]

The class Physics is not a monobehaviour, no

[naive pawn]

if you have 2 separate references to the same object, you would end up with 2 cloned objects for each reference

[strange kelp]

Ohh, thanks

I hope that's not gonna become a problem
-# forshadowing maybe lol

[burnt perch]

Im looking to make a dialogue mechanic in my "Mostly UI stuff" game. Can someone recommend me a good youtube tutorial for creating dialogue, similar to how Papers Please dialogue works? If not, any dialogue tutorial can work

[strange kelp]

https://youtu.be/8oTYabhj248
You can propably use this and just abstract it to use it for you system. Google exists btw

[daring sentinel]

Can someone help explain how async methods can react to events using delegates?

[wintry quarry]

They can't? They can add subscriptions to events like any other code.

perhaps you mean a pattern like:

- subscribe to an event
- wait until the event gets fired
- continue```

it'd just be something like:

bool eventFired = false;
someEvent += () => eventFired = true;
// pseudocode
wait until eventFired == true```

[daring sentinel]

Pretty much what I'm trying to do is use an async to make sure the correct animation state has been transitioned to while volume fades to silence.

Then when transitioning to another animation has finished, restore the volume back to normal

[wintry quarry]

you either subsribe to the event and wait till your subscriber has run, or just keep polling the animation state until you see what you want to see

or you use an animation event to set a flag that you poll in the async

[silk night]

if you dont want to code that yourself I can recommend UniTasks WaitUntil for this, UniTask in general is a nice library for async stuff
Unless that library is to big for your scope 😄

[daring sentinel]

I was trying to do it with UniTask yeah, just using GetCurrentAnimatorStateInfo().IsName()

[silk night]

Oh if you are using it anyway you can just use WaitUntil and check for your state that you are expecting

but yeah its just doing what PraetorBlue explained above, it just polls the state each frame 😄

[daring sentinel]

Ah ok, thanks, it's only for this use case where if a progress bar fills, an event fires. Using that I want to transition with silencing the audio and transitioning to that animation.

Then after that transition back to normal audio, with a different animation then playing a different timeline.

My game's basically interactive cutscenes

[silk night]

are you using unity animations for that?

if so I'd like to quote

or you use an animation event [...]
-# PraetorBlue

Thats most likely the easier solution 😄

[daring sentinel]

I am using the animator if that's what you're referring to?

[silk night]

yes, in animations you can place events that you can subscribe to

[daring sentinel]

As in like the state machine where I'm just transitioning with SetTrigger()

[silk night]

https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.1/Documentation/Manual/script-AnimationWindowEvent.html

[daring sentinel]

Oh I wasn't using this at all, I was using the animator state machine, not this, my b.

[silk night]

yeah but the state machines contain animations

if you click on one of the states, the inspector shows the animation "file"

[daring sentinel]

Is it ok if we could make this into a thread and I could tag you?

Sorry I'm just having trouble understanding

i just realized i didnt replied to my code

again my bad

this makes sense why nobody understood

update
{
        dispararBalas(bala, transform, firingSpeed, 0, 0);
}


    protected void dispararBalas(GameObject balas, Transform balasPos, float bulletspeed, float anguloHorizontal, float anguloVertical)
    {
        GameObject nuevoProyectil = Instantiate(balas, balasPos.position, Quaternion.identity);

        Vector3 direccion = (objetivo.position - balasPos.position).normalized;
        Rigidbody rb = nuevoProyectil.GetComponent<Rigidbody>();

        // Apply horizontal rotation (yaw), then vertical rotation (pitch)
        Quaternion rotacion = Quaternion.AngleAxis(anguloHorizontal, Vector3.up) *
                               Quaternion.AngleAxis(anguloVertical, Vector3.right);

        Vector3 direccionAngulo = rotacion * direccion;

        if (rb != null)
        {
            rb.linearVelocity = direccionAngulo * bulletspeed;
        }
    }```

[acoustic belfry]

here's the code

[naive pawn]

(objetivo.position - balasPos.position)
have you tried negating this

or, well, swapping the operands

[acoustic belfry]

no

[naive pawn]

that direction is from balasPos to objetivo

[rough granite]

Is the rotation part needed? Should a normalized Direction work for linearVocity?

[acoustic belfry]

i mean

i want to use the rotation on others enemies

[rough granite]

Meaning for the Vector3 direccionAngulo

[acoustic belfry]

for make the bullets be slighty angled from the line between the enemy and the player

but in this case no

[naive pawn]

which is the enemy and which is the player

[acoustic belfry]

objetivo is player

cuz is well, the objetive, target

[naive pawn]

so you get the direction from the enemy to the player

and then you.. rotate that value away from the correct value

[acoustic belfry]

thats the idea

[naive pawn]

pretty sure it isn't

think about that for a sec

you're getting the direction, and then you change it so it's wrong?

and then you expect that direction to be accurate?

[acoustic belfry]

i mean,

mmm wait

i mean in 2D worker

my idea is to be like the shoot of a...shotgun?

[naive pawn]

with some spread?

[acoustic belfry]

yeah

[rough granite]

Just make the rb.linearVelocity shot on the forward of the transform * speed and have the quaternion rotation when instantiated be the rotation

[acoustic belfry]

now i just realized that the bullets also dont move......

i had them with rigidbodies, so it pushed the enemy, a mere glitch i was gonna fix

when i did it, i discovered why the enemy was pushed, wasn't for the huge amount of spheres....was cuz they were spawning inside of it

uuurggghh

doesn't make sense, the code works on 2d i just tweak it

you know what, i will return it to 2D and see again how i can convert it to 3D, cuz i dont know what went wrong

    {
        GameObject nuevoProyectil = Instantiate(balas, balasPos.position, Quaternion.identity);
        Vector3 direccion = (objetivo.position - balasPos.position).normalized;
        Rigidbody rb = nuevoProyectil.GetComponent<Rigidbody>();
        Vector3 direccionAngulo = Quaternion.Euler(0, 0, angulo) * direccion;
        if (rb != null)
        {
            rb.linearVelocity = direccionAngulo * bulletspeed;
        }
    }```

here's the original working code

[naive pawn]

what's the point of angulo exactly?

[acoustic belfry]

spread

[rough granite]

As i said just move the rigidbody off the transform.forward and set the rotation in the instantiate function so your offset doesn't affect the speed

[acoustic belfry]

but doesn't has a rigidbody, i mean it shouldn't have one

just a collisionbox

[wintry quarry]

you could do Physics.IgnoreCollision between the bullet and the collider of the thing that's shooting it, if that's an issue.

[acoustic belfry]

oooh, wait

thats why didnt moved

[rough granite]

Then why are you using rb.linearVelocity

[acoustic belfry]

habit

but wait

in theory then it has a rigidbody then

letme check the og proyect

[wintry quarry]

i mean if you're doing that and there's no error, it definitely has an RB

[acoustic belfry]

i mean, it pushes the enemy back

[waxen glacier]

I'm trying to make a freelook binding, but right now I can only get it to work as a toggle instead of having to hold middle mouse to use it, how can I fix that ? I know that using freelook.perfomed makes it that way, so i'm wondering if there's a different method, because putting the Action Type as value (which I do for action where you have to hold a key) doesn't give me the option to add Middle Mouse as a binding.
https://paste.ofcode.org/BG5Z6CsxuSvdz4vmPPZV3Y

[acoustic belfry]

yep it has an RB, no idea why tho

[wintry quarry]

do this instead:

https://paste.ofcode.org/DTt388RJgAqpRMw5UbfGgA

[waxen glacier]

Damn thanks, didnt know about this. Only little problem is that it stops me from seeing the state of the bool in the inspector even if it's public, but apart from that it works perfectly, thanks.

[wintry quarry]

right because there is no bool

this is a property, not a field

it's equivalent to just writing a function:

public bool IsCurrentlyPressed() {
  return freelook.IsPressed();
}```

[old coyote]

if someone got any time to help with a basic 2D project let me know please, I've been struggling for a while (it's related to the new Input System and it's genuinely confusing)

[cerulean badger]

guys how do you make persistent displays (like hp bar, level text, etc) that keep working after transiting between scenes?

[wintry quarry]

Use DDOL objects

[cerulean badger]

should I make the whole canvas DDOL or only the specific objects with each display? If the second option, how would I make it stay inside the current canvas from the scene?

[wintry quarry]

"current canvas from the scene" doesn't really mean anything

you would make a canvas that is DDOL and moves between scenes

But it really depends on the specifics of your game

[cerulean badger]

ok got it

[wintry quarry]

Most games would just spawn the UI again in the new scene, based on the game data

It really depends on the structure and flow of the game

[cerulean badger]

i gotta remake the entire display system I've just made

I frickin hate this scenes system

[wintry quarry]

why?

Can't you just turn it into a prefab?

or make it DDOL and put it into a bootstrap scene?

[cerulean badger]

I've done such a mumbo jumbo with events and idk

[topaz chasm]

how can ı make better colliders in 2d polygon collider cant move in record mode and box collider is so useless for some cases and hard to control multiple boxes is there a better way to do it?

[rough granite]

Record mode?

[surreal fox]

I am getting confused, has anyone had this issue before?
I'm working on networked/replicated stuff. I'm spawning in an actor with BPs server side. I then attach the actor to a second parent actor server side. The reason is I want the parent actor to move around and the child to follow it. (Object on a vehicle) So far so good. Child follows parent around.
I then try to destroy the child after detatching it server side. This works on the host session but not on the client side of things. Child actor stays there. :\

The strange thing is if I don't attach the child, everything works just fine. Attaching it seems to be the cause of the failure to destroy the child.

in animation section

you can edit colliders without knowing the exact math positions

manually

[rough granite]

#1390346492019212368 might be a better place to ask

[topaz chasm]

but polygon collider dont work with that

[rough granite]

Oh are you asking for a way to change a polygon collider during an animation? Such as a sword swing?

[topaz chasm]

yes

it seems dont work but

ı dont know ıf ı do something wrong

[wintry quarry]

If this is for a sword swing attack or similar, colliders are simply not a good way to do it

[topaz chasm]

can you explain more? newbie in unity sorry

[wintry quarry]

it's often much more convenient to use direct physics queries

i.e. OverlapXXX or XXXCast queries

[topaz chasm]

i already built with colliders and it will hard to change i think

ı just wonder if ı can move multiple colliders in record mode or can ı move the polygon collider as ı wish

Rotation issue help

@final trellis Don't make people debug generated code for you.

Lookup a tutorial and test the code yourself.

[final trellis]

less of a debug more of a "is it really doing what i asked" but fair enough

[wintry quarry]

"is it really doing what I asked" is a pretty apt description of debugging

[quick fractal]

More like an apt description of generating code as a whole..

The answer is usually no

I need some help. I new to unity and I’m making a fishing game. I’m using a line renderer for the casting line but no matter what I do it’s behind everything.
The only case I got it working was when I changed the Z offset but then it was ahead of my player.

[wintry quarry]

what are the things it's behind made of?

(MeshRenderers? SpriteRenderers? UI Elements?)

[stuck current]

My game is pretty bare bones right now and it’s just a circle.

So sprite renderers

[wintry quarry]

you need to use the 2D layer sorting stuff then. Check your Sorting Layers and Order in Layer for the sprie renderers and your linerenderer

This is a #1390346776804069396 or #🖼️┃2d-tools question btw, nothing to do with code.

[stuck current]

Alright thanks, I’m already using layers

[grand snow]

having a large long transparent thing is asking for trouble (due to how transparent objects do depth sorting)

but dont ask about it more here

I’m working on a UI upgrade system in Unity where clicking a “Buy” button should open a PreviewPanel showing details of the selected upgrade. The button click is registering (Debug.Log works), and the Show() method on my OrderedPreviewPanel script runs, but nothing visibly changes in the game view. If I manually enable the PreviewPanel in the Hierarchy during play mode, it appears fine, so the problem seems to be that my script isn’t making it show properly. I tried to use a different method named ShowRaw and assigned it to my buy button, but the panel is still not showing up. Any idea as to why it's not showing up? Chatgpt gave me some solutions but none of them worked.

[rich adder]

do you have other scripts changing the active state? or Hide() called somewhere else

[snow jewel]

I can check in like 20-30 minutes. I’m not home right now. Is that fine?

[snow jewel]

hide isnt being called anywhere else and none of my other scripts are doing anything to the panel

is it something in the actual hierarchy or somethign

[rich adder]

wdym by that ? also did check the heirarchy itself in playmode to see what happens

[snow jewel]

it gets disabled on awake cuz of that line in the script

and when i press the button the panel si still disabled

[snow jewel]

mb i mean like is it something to do with how i setup the panel

the script looks fine i think

[stuck current]

I want a specific variable type but don’t remember it’s name
Basically it acts as a list but for each spot can store a few things like a variable and a game object.

[sudden tinsel]

Dictionary?

[toxic cove]

how do I exit out of whatever this is?
Every time I click on something it just gives me something like this.

I think im gonna reinstall this version

I have so much errors

[rich adder]

debug mode is on in the inspector

[toxic cove]

what about the errors

TypeLoadException: Could not load type 'UnityEngine.Timeline.AnimationTrack' from assembly 'UnityEngine.Timeline, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null'.

its whatever anyway im reinstalling

[rich adder]

that not sure about , is brand new project ?

[toxic cove]

no its a decompile of something but it didnt do this before so I mustve done something accidentally

[sour fulcrum]

We can’t help with decompilation of other peoples projects

[toxic cove]

I'm not going to edit it and claim it as my own I just need some textures from it.

[sour fulcrum]

We still can’t help

[toxic cove]

Who are you referring to as we. Just wondering.
